description: In a previous paper \cite{Bc}, it was pointed out that the wave functions of all particles are not pure waves, besides the main partial waves, they all contain {other partial waves}. It is very interesting to know what role these different partial waves play in particle transitions. Therefore, by using the Bethe-Salpeter equation method, we study the radiative electromagnetic decays $ψ\rightarrowγχ_{_{cJ}}$ and $Υ\rightarrowγχ_{_{bJ}}$ ($J=0,1,2$). We find that for the $S$ and $P$ wave dominated states, like the $ψ(2S)$, $Υ(2S)$, $χ_{_{cJ}}(1P)$, and $χ_{_{bJ}}(1P)$ etc., the dominant $S$ and $P$ waves provide main and nonrelativistic contrition to the decays; other partial waves mainly contribute to the relativistic correction. For the states like the $ψ(1D)$, $Υ(2D)$, $χ_{c2}(1F)$, and $χ_{b2}(1F)$ etc., they are the $S-P-D$ mixing state dominated by $D$ wave or the $P-D-F$ mixing state dominated by $F$ wave. Large decay widths are found in the transitions $ψ(2D)\to χ_{c2}(1F)$, $Υ(1D)\to χ_{bJ}(1P)$, and $Υ(2D)\to χ_{bJ}(2P)$ etc., which may be helpful to study the missing states $χ_{c2}(1F)$, $Υ(1D)$, and $Υ(2D)$.

description: Scenario-based probabilistic forecasts have become vital for decision-makers in handling intermittent renewable energies. This paper presents a recent promising deep learning generative approach called denoising diffusion probabilistic models. It is a class of latent variable models which have recently demonstrated impressive results in the computer vision community. However, to our knowledge, there has yet to be a demonstration that they can generate high-quality samples of load, PV, or wind power time series, crucial elements to face the new challenges in power systems applications. Thus, we propose the first implementation of this model for energy forecasting using the open data of the Global Energy Forecasting Competition 2014. The results demonstrate this approach is competitive with other state-of-the-art deep learning generative models, including generative adversarial networks, variational autoencoders, and normalizing flows.

description: We report on time-resolved ultrafast optical spectroscopy study of the topological insulator (TI) Bi$_2$Se$_3$. We unravel that a net spin polarization can not only be generated using circularly polarized light via interband transitions between topological surface states (SSs), but also via transitions between SSs and bulk states. Our experiment demonstrates that tuning photon energy or temperature can essentially allow for photoexcitation of spin-polarized electrons to unoccupied topological SSs with two distinct spin relaxation times ($\sim$25 fs and $\sim$300 fs), depending on the coupling between SSs and bulk states. The intrinsic mechanism leading to such distinctive spin dynamics is the scattering in SSs and bulk states which is dominated by $E_g^2$ and $A_{1g}^1$ phonon modes, respectively. These findings are suggestive of novel ways to manipulate the photoinduced coherent spins in TIs.

description: For a bounded corner domain $Ω$, we consider the Robin Laplacian in $Ω$ with large Robin parameter. Exploiting multiscale analysis and a recursive procedure, we have a precise description of the mechanism giving the ground state of the spectrum. It allows also the study of the bottom of the essential spectrum on the associated tangent structures given by cones. Then we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue for this singular limit in any dimension, with remainder estimates. The same method works for the Schrödinger operator in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a strong attractive delta-interaction supported on $\partialΩ$. Applications to some Erhling's type estimates and the analysis of the critical temperature of some superconductors are also provided.
The Role of Ketamine in Depression
Creators: name: Garner, Mary
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Introduction: The average person has up to 15% lifetime risk for developing depression. Major depressive disorder symptoms can include a depressed mood, such as feeling sad or having more anger than normal, changes in appetite, loss of interest in activities or hobbies, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, decreased ability to think or concentrate, sleep disturbance, an/or having suicidal thoughts. To make the diagnosis of major depressive disorder, according to the DSM-V, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders, a person must have at least 5 or more of these 9 symptoms during a continuous two-week period which causes significant impairment in functioning. Depression is treated in a variety of ways including medications and psychotherapy either as monotherapy or in tandem. When a patient has failed 2 or more medication treatments they are considered treatment resistant or as having refractory depression. Treatment resistant depression or refractory depression has several standard therapies, which include combination pharmacotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, vagal nerves stimulation and deep brain stimulation. Current research does support that a novel therapy, such as ketamine infusions, may help patients in the short-term with their depressive symptoms, including suicidal ideation. The focus of this paper is to review the clinical trials involving ketamine use in refractory depression for the alleviation of depressive symptoms, including suicidal ideation, and to examine the benefits, limitations, and future potential for ketamine as a treatment for refractory depression.

description: Single-molecule photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) reveals the nature of exciton-phonon interactions in NCs. Understanding the narrow line shapes at low temperatures and the significant broadening as temperature increases remains an open problem. Here, we develop an atomistic model to describe the PL spectrum of NCs, accounting for excitonic effects, phonon dispersion relations, and exciton-phonon couplings. We use single-molecule PL measurements on CdSe/CdS core-shell NCs from T=4 to T=290K to validate our model and find that the slightly-asymmetric main peak at low temperatures is comprised of a narrow zero-phonon line (ZPL) and several acoustic phonon sidebands. Furthermore, we identify the distinct CdSe optical modes that give rise to the optical phonon sidebands. As the temperature increases, the spectral width shows a stronger dependence on temperature, which we demonstrated to be correlated with frequency shifts and mode-mixing, reflected as higher-order exciton-phonon couplings (Duschinsky rotations). We also model the PL dependence on core size and shell thickness and provide strategies for the design of NCs with narrow linewidths at elevated temperatures.

description: The population of classical novae in the Magellanic Clouds was poorly known because of a lack of systematic studies. There were some suggestions that nova rates per unit mass in the Magellanic Clouds were higher than in any other galaxy. Here, we present an analysis of data collected over 16 years by the OGLE survey with the aim of characterizing the nova population in the Clouds. We found 20 eruptions of novae, half of which are new discoveries. We robustly measure nova rates of $2.4 \pm 0.8$ yr$^{-1}$ (LMC) and $0.9 \pm 0.4$ yr$^{-1}$ (SMC) and confirm that the K-band luminosity-specific nova rates in both Clouds are 2-3 times higher than in other galaxies. This can be explained by the star formation history in the Magellanic Clouds, specifically the re-ignition of the star formation rate a few Gyr ago. We also present the discovery of the intriguing system OGLE-MBR133.25.1160 which mimics recurrent nova eruptions.

Peri-Procedural Stroke Risk: Cartoid Artery Stenting Versus Carotid Endarteretomy
Creators: name: Neri-Mynatt, Gabrielle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: STROKE is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States, killing about 130,000 Americans a year. The prevalence of stroke is roughly 3% of the population per year. There are two types of stroke: hemorrhagic and ischemic. Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding into the cranial cavity while ischemic involves occlusion or restriction of blood flow to an area of the brain. Potential pathophysiologic mechanisms of ischemic stroke include decreased perfusion due to a systemic cause or due to stenosis of a vessel that feeds the brain. Decreased perfusion due to a systemic cause, like persistent hypotension, causes global cerebral hypo perfusion. Vascular occlusion can occur due to plaque or embolization and causes decreased
perfusion in the associated vascular bed. Cardioembolism is the most common cause representing about 37% of ischemic strokes. Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a major risk factor and causes 10-15% of ischemic stroke. Atherosclerosis can cause a gradual change in the vessel causing a narrowed area that restricts flow and can accumulate platelets which lead to an acute episode. Risk of stroke from carotid artery stenosis depends on the severity of the stenosis among other risk factors including diabetes and hypertension. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an open surgical procedure was established in 1954 as a
reliable treatment for carotid stenosis. In approximately 1990, a clinical trial supported the use of endarterectomy over aspirin alone. Carotid artery stenting is a more recent procedure developed in the 1980s as a less invasive alternative treatment. It is important to compare and contrast each
method of treatment to further identify the long-term outcomes associated with each option.

description: Natural language processing (NLP) sees rich mobile applications. To support various language understanding tasks, a foundation NLP model is often fine-tuned in a federated, privacy-preserving setting (FL). This process currently relies on at least hundreds of thousands of labeled training samples from mobile clients; yet mobile users often lack willingness or knowledge to label their data. Such an inadequacy of data labels is known as a few-shot scenario; it becomes the key blocker for mobile NLP applications. For the first time, this work investigates federated NLP in the few-shot scenario (FedFSL). By retrofitting algorithmic advances of pseudo labeling and prompt learning, we first establish a training pipeline that delivers competitive accuracy when only 0.05% (fewer than 100) of the training data is labeled and the remaining is unlabeled. To instantiate the workflow, we further present a system FeS, addressing the high execution cost with novel designs. (1) Curriculum pacing, which injects pseudo labels to the training workflow at a rate commensurate to the learning progress; (2) Representational diversity, a mechanism for selecting the most learnable data, only for which pseudo labels will be generated; (3) Co-planning of a model's training depth and layer capacity. Together, these designs reduce the training delay, client energy, and network traffic by up to 46.0$\times$, 41.2$\times$ and 3000.0$\times$, respectively. Through algorithm/system co-design, FFNLP demonstrates that FL can apply to challenging settings where most training samples are unlabeled.

We obtain the canonical free energy functional, which yields the adiabatic interparticle forces of overdamped Brownian motion. Using an exact and one of the most advanced approximate hard core free energy functionals, we obtain excellent agreement with simulations. The theory applies to finite systems in and out of equilibrium.

Clinical Review of Incretin Based Therapies: Their Role in the Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Creators: name: Barajas-Graham, Eulalia

Year: 2017

description: Type 2 Diabetes has become an epidemic in the United States; a disease that according to the
CDC, in 2013, was the 7th leading cause of death among Americans. Even though there are various
treatments available, it is not very clear when these agents are appropriate for individuals. Some agents
have unfavorable side effects and can cause hypoglycemia. Newer agents, incretin based therapies, offer
an alternative to controlling hyperglycemia. These agents not only help lower Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C)
values, but they also have the added benefits of weight loss, blood pressure control, and very low risks of
hypoglycemia. There are two classes of incretin based therapies, GLP-1 Agonists and DPP-4 Inhibitors.
Though these treatments have been on the market for several years, the use and knowledge of these drugs
is still not prevalent. This review will discuss the role of incretins in diabetes treatment, the unique
benefits these agents offer, their therapeutic efficacy, safety, side effects and reasons why these agents are
not being utilized.

description: We discuss a possibility that the domain wall problem in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model is alleviated without introducing a small explicit $Z_3$ breaking term by analyzing the evolution of the singlet scalar field within an inflationary paradigm. The singlet scalar field which explains the $μ$-term tracks a time-varying minimum of the effective potential after inflation and slowly rolls down to its global minimum if there exist sufficiently large negative Hubble-induced corrections on the effective potential for the singlet field, which arise through supergravity. As a consequence, the whole Universe is confined within a single domain during and after inflation, which prevents the formation of domain walls. This will further constrain the history of the early Universe along with the Higgs-singlet coupling.

description: Despite our understanding of the role of the survival motor neuron protein (SMN) in cytoplasmic small ribonucleoproteins (snRNP) assembly, it is unclear how loss of this protein causes motor neuron degeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). It could be explained by defects in functions that are specific to tissues most affected in SMA. In neurons, SMN localizes to neuronal RNA granules, RNA-containing foci in axons. They regulate many aspects of mRNA fate which include transport along neurites, mRNA stability, and mRNA translation. Most recently, our work provided evidence for SMN’s role in mRNA translation. Specifically, we demonstrated that SMN associates with polyribosomes and may repress translation of specific mRNA targets. Our group demonstrated that SMA-causing mutations within the Tudor domain of SMN completely abolished this activity. This indicates the potential significance of this novel SMN function in the SMA pathology. To further investigate SMN’s function in regulating translation, our group performed a proteomic screen on polysome-containing sucrose gradient fractions. We identified and validated novel interacting partners for SMN that may act as co-factors to regulate translation. DDX5 (an RNA helicase) is an unexpected novel interacting partner as it is known for its role in micro-RNA processing. Moreover, we observe that FMRP, a recognized protein in translational complexes, is required for the presence of SMN and DDX5 in polysomal fractions. With these latest findings, we updated our model of the molecular mechanism by which SMN regulates translation. This work provides more insights on how SMN regulates translation, a newly uncovered role for SMN in motor neurons. Identification of the molecular targets that are misregulated due to loss of this function may reveal new information on the pathogenesis of SMA.

description: We study mechanisms of synchronisation, coordination, and equilibrium selection in two-player coordination games on multilayer networks. We apply the approach from evolutionary game theory with three possible update rules: the replicator dynamics (RD), the best response (BR), and the unconditional imitation (UI). Players interact on a two-layer random regular network. The population on each layer plays a different game, with layer I preferring the opposite strategy to layer II. We measure the difference between the two games played on the layers by a difference in payoffs $ΔS$ while the inter-connectedness is measured by a node overlap parameter $q$. We discover a critical value $q_c(ΔS)$ below which layers do not synchronise. For $q>q_c$ in general both layers coordinate on the same strategy. Surprisingly, there is a symmetry breaking in the selection of equilibrium -- for RD and UI there is a phase where only the payoff-dominant equilibrium is selected. Our work is an example of previously observed differences between the update rules on a single network. However, we took a novel approach with the game being played on two inter-connected layers. As we show, the multilayer structure enhances the abundance of the Pareto-optimal equilibrium in coordination games with imitative update rules.

Topological black holes in ${\mathfrak {su}}(N)$ Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with a negative cosmological constant

description: We investigate the phase space of topological black hole solutions of ${\mathfrak {su}}(N)$ Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in anti-de Sitter space with a purely magnetic gauge potential. The gauge field is described by $N-1$ magnetic gauge field functions $ω_{j}$, $j=1,\ldots , N-1$. For ${\mathfrak {su}}(2)$ gauge group, the function $ω_{1}$ has no zeros. This is no longer the case when we consider a larger gauge group. The phase space of topological black holes is considerably simpler than for the corresponding spherically symmetric black holes, but for $N>2$ and a flat event horizon, there exist solutions where at least one of the $ω_{j}$ functions has one or more zeros. For most of the solutions, all the $ω_{j}$ functions have no zeros, and at least some of these are linearly stable.

description: INTRODUCTION: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) traditionally provides emergent care and transport of community members to emergency departments. However, the past several years has demonstrated the baseline skill set of a Paramedic proves to be an excellent foundation to be trained and function as a Mobile Integrated Healthcare Practice (MIH) provider also referred in literature as a Community Paramedic. The MIH practitioner delivers a unique perspective of interaction and treatment of community members by identifying health care needs beyond emergencies typically treated in the pre-hospital environment but having the skill level to do so. There by reducing 9-1-1 call volumes, unnecessary transports, potentially unnecessary ED visits and subsequent hospital admissions. The thought process behind employing the MIH practitioner will be to transform EMS from a strictly emergency care service to a value-based
mobile healthcare provider that is fully integrated with an array of healthcare and social services partners to improve the health status of the community.
Often Paramedics are often overlooked as a valuable members of the healthcare team, incorporating the MIH role allows the Paramedic to remain active and visible healthcare team member...

description: We consider the buildup and decay of two-spin entanglement through phase interactions in a finite environment of surrounding spins, as realized in quantum computing platforms based on arrays of atoms, molecules, or nitrogen vacancy centers. The non-Markovian dephasing caused by the spin environment through Ising-type phase interactions can be solved exactly and compared to an effective Markovian treatment based on collision models. In a first case study on a dynamic lattice of randomly hopping spins, we find that non-Markovianity boosts the dephasing rate caused by nearest neighbour interactions with the surroundings, degrading the maximum achievable entanglement. However, we also demonstrate that additional three-body interactions can mitigate this degradation, and that randomly timed reset operations performed on the two-spin system can help sustain a finite average amount of steady-state entanglement. In a second case study based on a model nuclear magnetic resonance system, we elucidate the role of bath correlations at finite temperature on non-Markovian dephasing. They speed up the dephasing at low temperatures while slowing it down at high temperatures, compared to an uncorrelated bath, which is related to the number of thermally accessible spin configurations with and without interactions.

description: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising therapeutic approaches against drug-resistant pathogens. Recently, deep generative models are used to discover new AMPs. However, previous studies mainly focus on peptide sequence attributes and do not consider crucial structure information. In this paper, we propose a latent sequence-structure model for designing AMPs (LSSAMP). LSSAMP exploits multi-scale vector quantization in the latent space to represent secondary structures (e.g. alpha helix and beta sheet). By sampling in the latent space, LSSAMP can simultaneously generate peptides with ideal sequence attributes and secondary structures. Experimental results show that the peptides generated by LSSAMP have a high probability of antimicrobial activity. Our wet laboratory experiments verified that two of the 21 candidates exhibit strong antimicrobial activity. The code is released at https://github.com/dqwang122/LSSAMP.

description: When robots interact with humans in homes, roads, or factories the human's behavior often changes in response to the robot. Non-stationary humans are challenging for robot learners: actions the robot has learned to coordinate with the original human may fail after the human adapts to the robot. In this paper we introduce an algorithmic formalism that enables robots (i.e., ego agents) to co-adapt alongside dynamic humans (i.e., other agents) using only the robot's low-level states, actions, and rewards. A core challenge is that humans not only react to the robot's behavior, but the way in which humans react inevitably changes both over time and between users. To deal with this challenge, our insight is that -- instead of building an exact model of the human -- robots can learn and reason over high-level representations of the human's policy and policy dynamics. Applying this insight we develop RILI: Robustly Influencing Latent Intent. RILI first embeds low-level robot observations into predictions of the human's latent strategy and strategy dynamics. Next, RILI harnesses these predictions to select actions that influence the adaptive human towards advantageous, high reward behaviors over repeated interactions. We demonstrate that -- given RILI's measured performance with users sampled from an underlying distribution -- we can probabilistically bound RILI's expected performance across new humans sampled from the same distribution. Our simulated experiments compare RILI to state-of-the-art representation and reinforcement learning baselines, and show that RILI better learns to coordinate with imperfect, noisy, and time-varying agents. Finally, we conduct two user studies where RILI co-adapts alongside actual humans in a game of tag and a tower-building task. See videos of our user studies here: https://youtu.be/WYGO5amDXbQ
