description: We determined the rotational periods of 3122 Florence, 3830 Trelleborg, and (131077) 2000 YH105 with the Harvard Clay Telescope and KeplerCam at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory. We found the rotational periods to be 2.3580 $\pm$ 0.0015 h, 17.059 $\pm$ 0.017 h, and 1.813 $\pm$ 0.00003 h, respectively. Our measurement of 3122 Florence's period agrees with Warner (2016), who reported 2.3580 $\pm$ 0.0002 h.

description: Programmable Logic Controllers are an integral component for managing many different industrial processes (e.g., smart building management, power generation, water and wastewater management, and traffic control systems), and manufacturing and control industries (e.g., oil and natural gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, food and beverage, automotive, and aerospace). Despite being used widely in many critical infrastructures, PLCs use protocols which make these control systems vulnerable to many common attacks, including man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service attacks, and memory corruption attacks (e.g., array, stack, and heap overflows, integer overflows, and pointer corruption). In this paper, we propose PLC-PROV, a system for tracking the inputs and outputs of the control system to detect violations in the safety and security policies of the system. We consider a smart building as an example of a PLC-based system and show how PLC-PROV can be applied to ensure that the inputs and outputs are consistent with the intended safety and security policies.

description: The property of proportional representation in approval-based committee elections has appeared in the social choice literature for over a century, and is typically understood as avoiding the underrepresentation of minorities. However, we argue that the security of some distributed systems is directly linked to the opposite goal of avoiding the overrepresentation of any minority, a goal not previously formalized that leads us to an optimization objective known as maximin support. After providing a thorough analysis of the computational complexity of this objective, we propose a new efficient election rule that simultaneously achieves a) a constant-factor approximation guarantee for it, and b) the property of proportional justified representation (PJR) - one of the strongest forms of proportional representation. However, the most striking feature of the new rule is that one can verify in linear time that the winning committee satisfies the two aforementioned guarantees, even when the algorithm is executed by an untrusted party who only communicates the output. As a result, the rule can be adapted into a verifiable computing scheme. Moreover, its verification procedure easily admits parallel processing for further efficiency. Our work is motivated by an application on blockchain networks that implement Nominated Proof-of-Stake, where the community elects a committee of validators to participate in the consensus protocol, and where preventing overrepresentation protects the network against attacks by an adversarial minority. Our election rule enables a validator selection protocol with formal guarantees on security and proportionality, and its adaptation as a verifiable computing scheme with a parallelized verification proves to be key for its successful implementation given the computationally limited nature of the blockchain architecture.

description: It is well known that the sixth Painlevé equation $\PVI$ admits a group of Bäcklund transformations which is isomorphic to the affine Weyl group of type $\mathrm{D}_4^{(1)}$. Although various aspects of this unexpectedly large symmetry have been discussed by many authors, there still remains a basic problem yet to be considered, that is, the problem of characterizing the Bäcklund transformations in terms of Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. In this direction, we show that the Bäcklund transformations are just the pull-back of very simple transformations on the moduli of monodromy representations by the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. This result gives a natural and clear picture of the Bäcklund transformations. Key words: Bäcklund transformation, the sixth Painlevé equation, Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, isomonodromic deformation, affine Weyl group of type $\mathrm{D}_4^{(1)}$.

description: Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) over-activity is associated with essential hypertension. Renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) possibly lowers office- and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH). We aimed to assess the effect of RDN compared to drug adjustment on SNS activity among patients with TRH by measuring plasma catecholamines and heart rate variability (HRV) during stress tests. Patients with TRH were randomised to RDN (n = 9) or Drug Adjustment (DA) (n = 10). We measured continuous HRV and beat-to-beat-BP using FinaPres® and obtained plasma catecholamines during standardised orthostatic- and cold-pressor stress tests (CPT) before- and six months after randomisation. CPT revealed no differences between groups at baseline in peak adrenaline concentration (69.3 pg/mL in the DA group vs. 70.0 pg/mL in the RDN group, p = 0.38) or adrenaline reactivity (Δ23.1 pg/mL in the DA group vs. Δ29.3 pg/mL in the RDN group, p = 0.40). After six months, adrenaline concentrations were statistically different between groups after one minute (66.9 pg/mL in the DA group vs. 55.3 pg/mL in the RDN group, p = 0.03), and six minutes (62.4 pg/mL in the DA group vs. 50.1 pg/mL in the RDN group, p = 0.03). There was a tendency of reduction in adrenaline reactivity after six months in the RDN group (Δ26.3 pg/mL at baseline vs. Δ12.8 pg/ml after six months, p = 0.08), while it increased in the DA group (Δ13.6 pg/mL at baseline vs. Δ19.9 pg/mL after six months, p = 0.53). We also found a difference in the Low Frequency band at baseline following the CPT (667µs2 in the DA group vs. 1628µs2 in the RDN group, p = 0.03) with a clear tendency of reduction in the RDN group to 743µs2 after six months (p = 0.07), compared to no change in the DA group (1052µs2, p = 0.39). Our data suggest that RDN reduces SNS activity after six months. This finding warrants investigation in a larger study. Clinical Trial Number registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01673516

description: In a first of a series of studies of the H-alpha + [NII] emission from nearby spiral galaxies, we present measurements of H-alpha + [NII] emission from HII regions in M81. Our method uses large-field-CCD images and long-slit spectra, and is part of the ongoing Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut Sky Survey. The CCD images are taken with the NAOC 0.6/0.9m f/3 Schmidt telescope at the Xinglong Observing Station, using a multicolor filter set. Spectra of 10 of the brightest HII regions are obtained using the NAOC 2.16m telescope with a Tek 1024 X 1024 CCD. The continua of the spectra are calibrated by flux-calibrated images taken from the Schmidt observations. We determine the continuum component of our H-alpha + [NII] image via interpolation from the more accurately-measured backgrounds (M81 starlight) obtained from the two neighboring (in wavelength) BATC filter images. We use the calibrated fluxes of H-alpha + [NII] emission from the spectra to normalize this interpolated, continuum-subtracted H-alpha + [NII] image. We estimate the zero point uncertainty of the measured H-alpha + [NII] emission flux to be $\sim$ 8%. A catalogue of H-alpha + [NII] fluxes for 456 HII regions is provided, with those fluxes are on a more consistent linear scale than previously available. The logarithmically-binned H-alpha + [NII] luminosity function of HII regions is found to have slope $α$ = -0.70, consistent with previous results (which allowed $α=-0.5 \sim -0.8$). From the overall H-alpha + [NII] luminosity of the HII regions, the star formation rate of M81 is found to be $\sim 0.68 M_{\odot} {\rm yr}^{-1}$, modulo uncertainty with extinction corrections.

description: Studying quantum physics in upper secondary school is now a standard practice (Stadermann et al., 2019). But given the context of science education, with low recruitment numbers in higher education and poor attitudes towards science, it remains a question whether students find the learning of quantum physics relevant. In this study, we explore how students perceive the importance of quantum physics and technology and whether their perception changes after an intervention, namely the "Quantum Rules!" visit. We also aim to understand if they overall feel that learning quantum is relevant or not. In order to answer these questions, we followed a mixed-methods approach, combining both questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative analysis showed that the "Quantum Rules!" intervention has a positive effect on students' perception of the relevance of quantum physics and technology, especially regarding how important they feel quantum science is for society. Nevertheless, the qualitative information revealed that although students may find quantum physics and technology important for society, that does not necessarily mean that they find learning quantum physics relevant. We found that students believe the latter is relevant to them only if they find it interesting. We therefore rediscover the common expression "important, but not for me," and we further propose that this perception derives from students not seeing the societal relevance of learning quantum physics.

description: An important aspect of quenching star formation is the removal of the cold interstellar medium (ISM; non-ionised gas and dust) from a galaxy. In addition, dust grains can be destroyed in a hot or turbulent medium. The adopted timescale of dust removal usually relies on uncertain theoretical estimates. It is tricky to track the dust removal, because usually dust is constantly replenished by consecutive generations of stars. Our objective is to measure observationally the timescale of dust removal. We here explore an approach to select galaxies which do have detectable amounts of dust and cold ISM but exhibit a low current dust production rate. Any decrease of the dust and gas content as a function of the age of such galaxies therefore must be attributed to processes governing the ISM removal. We used a sample of galaxies detected by Herschel in the far-infrared with visually assigned early-type morphology or spirals with red colours. We also obtained JCMT/SCUBA-2 observations for five of them. We discovered an exponential decline of the dust-to-stellar mass ratio with age, which we interpret as an evolutionary trend of dust removal from these galaxies. For the first time we directly measure the dust removal timescale in such galaxies to be tau=(2.5+-0.4) Gyr (the corresponding half-life time is (1.75+-0.25) Gyr). This quantity may be used in models in which it must be assumed a priori and cannot be derived. Any process which removes dust in these galaxies, such as dust grain destruction, cannot happen on shorter timescales. The timescale is comparable to the quenching timescales found in simulations for galaxies with similar stellar masses. The dust is likely of internal, not external origin. It was either formed in the past directly by supernovae, or from seeds produced by SNe and with grain growth in the ISM contributing substantially to the dust mass accumulation.

description: To analyse the performance of iXip in the prediction of prostate cancer (PCa) and high-grade PCa. A consecutive series of men undergoing MRI/FUSION prostate biopsies were enrolled in one centre. Indications for prostate biopsy included abnormal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (PSA > 4 ng/ml) and/or abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) and/or abnormal MRI. All patients underwent the evaluation of serum PSA-IgM concentration and the iXip ratio was calculated. Accuracy iXip for the prediction of PCa was evaluated using multivariable binary regression analysis and receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curves. Overall 160 patients with a median age of 65 (62/73) years were enrolled. Overall, 42% patients were diagnosed with PCa and 75% of them had high-grade cancer (Epstein ≥ 3). Patients with PCa were older and presented higher PSA levels, higher PIRADS scores and lower prostate volumes (PVs). On ROC analysis iXip presented an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.57 in the prediction of PCa and of 0.54 for the prediction of high-grade PCa. In our experience, immune PSA complexes are not predictors of PCa. iXip analysis should not be included in the diagnostic pathway of patients at increased risk of PCa.

description: In this paper, we will give a complete geometric background for the geometry of Painlevé $VI$ and Garnier equations. By geometric invariant theory, we will construct a smooth coarse moduli space $M_n^{\balpha}(\bt, \blambda, L) $ of stable parabolic connection on $\BP^1$ with logarithmic poles at $D(\bt) = t_1 + ... + t_n$ as well as its natural compactification. Moreover the moduli space $\cR(\cP_{n, \bt})_{\ba}$ of Jordan equivalence classes of $SL_2(\C)$-representations of the fundamental group $π_1(\BP^1 \setminus D(\bt),\ast)$ are defined as the categorical quotient. We define the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence $\RH: M_n^{\balpha}(\bt, \blambda, L) \lra \cR(\cP_{n, \bt})_{\ba}$ and prove that $\RH$ is a bimeromorphic proper surjective analytic map. Painlevé and Garnier equations can be derived from the isomonodromic flows and Painlevé property of these equations are easily derived from the properties of $\RH$. We also prove that the smooth parts of both moduli spaces have natural symplectic structures and $\RH$ is a symplectic resolution of singularities of $\cR(\cP_{n, \bt})_{\ba}$, from which one can give geometric backgrounds for other interesting phenomena, like Hamiltonian structures, Bäcklund transformations, special solutions of these equations.

description: To verify antioxidant responses and lipid peroxidation can be used as sensitive indicators for the risk assessment of the Wei River. We investigate the effects of the Wei River on oxidative stress of planarian Dugesia japonica by antioxidant parameters, and use ICP-MS to measure the heavy metals in the Wei River. Then, we observe the effects of three common heavy metal ions (Cr3+, Hg2+, Pb2+) on the regeneration of planarians on morphological and histological levels. The significant changes of antioxidant parameters (SOD, CAT, GPx, GST, T-AOC) and MDA content indicate that oxidative stress is induced after the Wei River exposure on planarians, though the heavy metals in the Wei River are not exceeding the standards. Then, the regeneration of planarians shows different degree of morphological and histological damage after Cr3+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ exposure. We speculate that the heavy metal ions in the Wei River, especially Cr3+, Hg2+ and Pb2+, may give rise to oxidative damage on planarians. These findings illustrate that planarian can serve as an indicator of aquatic ecosystem pollution, antioxidant responses and lipid peroxidation can also be used as sensitive indicators and provide an excellent opportunity for urban river risk assessment.

description: With respect to the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), the detection of topological nontrivial large-Chern-number phases is an intriguing subject. Motivated by recent research on Floquet topological phases, this study proposes a periodic driving protocol to engineer large-Chern-number phases using QAHE. Herein, spinless ultracold fermionic atoms are studied in a two-dimensional optical dice lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping and a $Λ$/V-type sublattice potential subjected to a circular driving force. Results suggest that large-Chern-number phases exist with Chern numbers equal to $C=-2$, which is consistent with the edge-state energy spectra.

description: Quantum error correcting codes with finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces have yielded new insights on bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT. In this paper, we give an explicit construction of a quantum error correcting code where the code and physical Hilbert spaces are infinite-dimensional. We define a von Neumann algebra of type II$_1$ acting on the code Hilbert space and show how it is mapped to a von Neumann algebra of type II$_1$ acting on the physical Hilbert space. This toy model demonstrates the equivalence of entanglement wedge reconstruction and the exact equality of bulk and boundary relative entropies in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

description: New photometry of RRab and RRc stars in Omega Cen is used to calibrate their absolute magnitudes M_V as a function of: a) metallicity; and b) the Fourier parameters of light curves in the V band. The zero point of both calibrations relies on the distance modulus to the cluster derived earlier by the CASE project based on observations of the detached eclipsing binary OGLE GC17. For RRab variables we obtained a relation of M_V=(0.26\pm 0.08)[Fe/H]+(0.91\pm 0.13). A dereddened distance modulus to the LMC based on that formula is $μ_{0}=18.56\pm 0.14$ mag. The second calibration of M_V, which is based on Fourier coefficients of decomposed light curves, results in the LMC distance of $μ_{0}=18.51\pm 0.07$ mag.

description: Background: Biochemical verification of self-reported smoking status is not common among the population eligible for lung cancer screening (LCS). Methods: We used urinary NNAL (4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol and its glucuronides) and serum cotinine as the gold standard to determine the validity and reliability of self-reported smoking status from the 2007–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Results: We found 2.3% (n = 652, equivalent to 5.3 million weighted population) of adults eligible for LCS according to the current United States Preventive Services Task Force guideline. Self-reported current smoking status performed similarly against NNAL and cotinine: sensitivity [89.7% (95%CI: 84.9%–94.5%) vs. 89.5% (95%CI: 84.8%–94.3%)]; specificity [99.7% (95%CI: 99.2%–100.0%) vs. 100% (95%CI:100%–100%)]; positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were 99.8% (95%CI:99.4%–100.0%) versus 100% (95%CI:100%–100%) and 85.3% (95%CI: 79.1%–91.5%) versus 85.1% (95%CI: 79.1%–1.0%), respectively; and Kappa [86.5% (95%CI:80.5%–92.5%) vs. 86.5% (95%CI:80.6%–92.3%)]. Performance measures were better among females than males; worst among the non-Hispanic white and best among other race/ethnicity group. The validity and reliability of self-reported smoking status increased with increasing cutpoint levels of both NNAL and cotinine. Conclusions: Self-reported smoking status among people who are at high risk of lung cancer is reasonably reliable. The difference between using NNAL and cotinine appears to be minimal.

description: To analyze the performance of iXip in the prediction of prostate cancer (PCa) and high-grade prostate cancer. A consecutive series of men undergoing MRI/FUSION prostate biopsies were enrolled in one center. Indications for prostate biopsy included abnormal prostate specific antigen levels (PSA >4ng/ml) and/or abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) and/or abnormal MRI. All patients underwent the evaluation of serum PSA-IgM concentration and the iXip ratio was calculated. Accuracy iXip for the prediction of prostate cancer was evaluated using multivariable binary regression analysis and receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curves. Overall 160 patients with a median age of 65 (62/73) years were enrolled. Overall, 42% patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 75% of them had high-grade cancer (Epstein ≥3). Patients with prostate cancer were older and presented higher PSA levels, higher PIRADS scores and lower prostate volumes. On ROC analysis iXip presented an area under the curve (AUC) of 0,57 in the prediction of PCa and of 0,54 for the prediction of high-grade prostate cancer. In our experience, immune PSA complexes are not predictors of PCa. iXip analysis should not be included in the diagnostic pathway of patients at increased risk of PCa.

description: In a recent paper (Usoskin et al., 2002a), we have reconstructed the concentration of the cosmogenic $^{10}$Be isotope in ice cores from the measured sunspot numbers by using physical models for $^{10}$Be production in the Earth's atmosphere, cosmic ray transport in the heliosphere, and evolution of the Sun's open magnetic flux. Here we take the opposite route: starting from the $^{10}$Be concentration measured in ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland, we invert the models in order to reconstruct the 11-year averaged sunspot numbers since 850 AD. The inversion method is validated by comparing the reconstructed sunspot numbers with the directly observed sunspot record since 1610. The reconstructed sunspot record exhibits a prominent period of about 600 years, in agreement with earlier observations based on cosmogenic isotopes. Also, there is evidence for the century scale Gleissberg cycle and a number of shorter quasi-periodicities whose periods seem to fluctuate in the millennium time scale. This invalidates the earlier extrapolation of multi-harmonic representation of sunspot activity over extended time intervals.

description: To examine reported prognostic associations of routine blood measurements in the intensive care unit. We searched PubMed, EMBASE through 28th May 2020 to identify all studies in adult critical care investigating associations between parameters measured routinely in whole blood, plasma or serum, and length of stay or mortality. Registration: PROSPERO; CRD42019122058. A total of 128 studies, reporting 28 different putative prognostic biomarkers, met eligibility criteria. Those most frequently examined were red cell distribution width, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein, and platelet count. A higher red cell distribution width, a lower platelet count, and a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were consistently associated with both increased mortality and length of stay. A lower level of albumin was consistently associated with greater mortality. C-reactive protein was inconsistent. Most studies (n = 110) used regression modelling with wide variation in variable selection and covariate-adjustment; none externally validated the proposed predictive models. Simple regression models have so far proved inadequate for the complexity of data available from routine blood sampling in critical care. Adoption of a direct causal framework may help better assess mechanistic processes, aid design of future studies, and guide clinical decision making using routine data.

description: We report on the non-equilibrium monopole dynamics in the classical spin ice Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ detected by means of high-resolution magnetostriction measurements. Significant lattice changes occur at the transition from the kagome-ice to the saturated-ice phase, visible in the longitudinal and transverse magnetostriction. A hysteresis opening at temperatures below 0.6 K suggests a first-order transition between the kagome and saturated state. Extremely slow lattice relaxations, triggered by changes of the magnetic field, were observed. These lattice-relaxation effects result from non-equilibrium monopole formation or annihilation processes. The relaxation times extracted from our experiment are in good agreement with theoretical predictions with decay constants of the order of $10{^4}$ s at 0.3 K.

Baja California Sur (Mexico), UANL 357 (approx. 24º47’N, 112º18’W, Cabo San Lazaro, Bahia Magdalena, April 1988, coll. JALG). Guerrero (Mexico), SV-pc (16º50’33”N, 99º54’39”W, Punta Manzanillo, Acapulco, Aug. 4, 1988, coll. SISV). Oaxaca (Mexico), UMAR-Poly 50 (15º51’N, 97º04’W, Puerto Escondido, on Spondylus calcifer, M20, 6– 10 m, July 4, 2004, coll. SS).
 Diagnosis. Tube smooth, thin, lacks longitudinal ridges (but see Remarks), peristomes or alveoli. Opercular peduncle smooth, white to light brown. Base of operculum with four digitate processes. Operculum as almost bilaterally symmetrical funnel; funnel with 43–52 radii with rounded tips (Figs 4C–D). Collar with bayonet chaetae, with 2–3 blunt-long teeth, distal blade smooth.

 Distribution. Amphi-American. From Florida and Gulf of Mexico to Brazil; California to Panama (ten Hove & Jansen-Jacobs 1984).
 Taxonomic remarks. Crucigera websteri was described from the Gulf of Mexico; however, the specimens from the Eastern Pacific revised here agreed with the description of ten Hove and Jansen-Jacobs (1984). They compared specimens from Atlantic with Panama and Californian specimens and concluded that they all belong to the same species.
 Remarks. One specimen (LACM-AHF 1409–41) has a tube with three sinuous longitudinal ridges; another from the intertidal zone (LACM-AHF 144–42) has a flat funnel, with 48 radii.

description: To verify antioxidant responses and lipid peroxidation can be used as sensitive indicators for the risk assessment of the Wei River. We investigate the effects of the Wei River on oxidative stress of planarian Dugesia japonica by antioxidant parameters, and use ICP-MS to measure the heavy metals in the Wei River. Then, we observe the effects of three common heavy metal ions (Cr3+, Hg2+, Pb2+) on the regeneration of planarians on morphological and histological levels. The significant changes of antioxidant parameters (SOD, CAT, GPx, GST, T-AOC) and MDA content indicate that oxidative stress are induced after the Wei River exposure on planarians, though the heavy metals in the Wei River are not exceeding the standards. Then, the regeneration of planarians shows different degree of morphological and histological damage after Cr3+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ exposure. We speculate that the heavy metal ions in the Wei River, especially Cr3+, Hg2+ and Pb2+, may give rise to oxidative damage on planarians. These findings illustrate that planarian can serve as an indicator of aquatic ecosystem pollution, antioxidant responses and lipid peroxidation can also be used as sensitive indicators and provided an excellent opportunity for urban river risk assessment.
