description: The spectrum of primordial fluctuations from inflation can be obtained using a mathematically controlled, and systematically extendable, uniform approximation. Closed-form expressions for power spectra and spectral indices may be found without making explicit slow-roll assumptions. Here we provide details of our previous calculations, extend the results beyond leading order in the approximation, and derive general error bounds for power spectra and spectral indices. Already at next-to-leading order, the errors in calculating the power spectrum are less than a per cent. This meets the accuracy requirement for interpreting next-generation CMB observations.

It is shown that in the process of thermalization superheavy dark matter with the coupling strength typical for the GUT SUSY can be created. Such dark matter would have the proper cosmological density if the particle mass is close to $10^{12}$ GeV.

description: We exploit a self-supervised deep multi-task learning framework for electrocardiogram (ECG) -based emotion recognition. The proposed solution consists of two stages of learning a) learning ECG representations and b) learning to classify emotions. ECG representations are learned by a signal transformation recognition network. The network learns high-level abstract representations from unlabeled ECG data. Six different signal transformations are applied to the ECG signals, and transformation recognition is performed as pretext tasks. Training the model on pretext tasks helps the network learn spatiotemporal representations that generalize well across different datasets and different emotion categories. We transfer the weights of the self-supervised network to an emotion recognition network, where the convolutional layers are kept frozen and the dense layers are trained with labelled ECG data. We show that the proposed solution considerably improves the performance compared to a network trained using fully-supervised learning. New state-of-the-art results are set in classification of arousal, valence, affective states, and stress for the four utilized datasets. Extensive experiments are performed, providing interesting insights into the impact of using a multi-task self-supervised structure instead of a single-task model, as well as the optimum level of difficulty required for the pretext self-supervised tasks.

description: Electrical spin-current generation is among the core phenomena driving the field of spintronics. Using {\em ab initio} calculations we show that a room-temperature metallic collinear antiferromagnet RuO$_2$ allows for highly efficient spin-current generation, arising from anisotropically-split bands with conserved up and down spins along the Néel vector axis. The zero net moment antiferromagnet acts as an electrical spin-splitter with a 34$^\circ$ propagation angle between spin-up and spin-down currents. Correspondingly, the spin-conductivity is a factor of three larger than the record value from a survey of 20,000 non-magnetic spin-Hall materials. We propose a versatile spin-splitter-torque concept utilizing antiferromagnetic RuO$_2$ films interfaced with a ferromagnet.

description: The kinetic SZ effect, which is the dominant CMB source at arc-minute scales and $ν\sim 217$ Ghz, probes the ionized gas peculiar momentum up to the epoch of reionization and is a sensitive measure of the reionization history. We ran high resolution self-similar and $Λ$CDM hydro simulations and built an analytical model to study this effect. Our model reproduces the $Λ$CDM simulation results to several percent accuracy, passes various tests against self-similar simulations, and shows a wider range of applicability than previous analytical models. Our model in its continuous version is free of simulation limitations such as finite simulation box and finite resolution and allows an accurate prediction of the kinetic SZ power spectrum $C_l$. For the WMAP cosmology, we find $l^2C_l/(2π)\simeq 0.91 \times 10^{-12} [(1+z_{\rm reion})/10]^{0.34}(l/5000)^{0.23-0.015(z_{\rm reion}-9)}$ for the reionization redshift $6
description: 14 pages, 7 figures. Accepted by MNRAS. We corrected the primary CMB power spectrum we used. We added discussions about the effects of lensing and relativistic SZ correctio. We withdraw a claim about the patchy reionization

description: Superconducting coplanar-waveguide (CPW) resonators are one of the key devices in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED). Their performance can be limited by dielectric losses in the substrate and in the material interfaces. Reliable modeling is required to aid in the design of low-loss CPW structures for cQED. We analyze the geometric dependence of the dielectric losses in CPW structures using finite-element modeling of the participation ratios of the lossy regions. In a practical scenario, uncertainties in the the dielectric constants and loss tangents of these regions introduce uncertainties in the theoretically predicted participation ratios. We present a method for combining loss simulations with measurements of two-level-system-limited quality factors and resonance frequencies of CPW resonators. Namely, we solve an inverse problem to find model parameters producing the measured values. High quality factors are obtainable by properly designing the cross-sectional geometries of the CPW structures, but more accurate modeling and design methods for low-loss CPW resonators are called for major future improvements. Our nonlinear optimization methodology for solving the aforementioned inverse problem is a step in this direction.

description: Increasing dynamics in solids featuring nuclei subjected to second-order quadrupolar interactions lead to central-transition spectra that undergo two consecutive line-shaped transitions. Conventional motional narrowing occurs when the molecular exchange rate is on the order of the strength of the dominant interaction. In a second step, the resulting intermediately narrowed spectra change further when the motion becomes faster than the Larmor precession rate, leading to terminally narrowed spectra that can display a residual quadrupolar shift. We derive analytic expressions for this shift and analyze the quadrupolar central-transition spectra in terms of CN symmetrical cone models. Increasing the number of sites to N ≥ 3, the terminally narrowed spectra remain unaltered, while the intermediately narrowed spectra remain unaltered only for N ≥ 5. This finding relates to the different (cubic vs. icosahedral) symmetries that are required to average out the spatial second- and fourth-rank terms in the second-order quadrupolar interaction. Following recent work (Hung et al., Solid State Nucl Magn Reson 84:14–19, 2017), 17O NMR is applied to examine the three-site rotation of the nitrate group in NaNO3. Line shapes are measured and analyzed, and in addition to prior work, satellite-transition and stimulated-echo experiments are carried out. The final-state amplitudes extracted from the latter are reproduced using model calculations. It is shown how two-dimensional exchange spectra relating to N-site cone motions can be decomposed in terms of effective two-site-jump spectra. This latter approach is successfully tested for NaNO3.

description: The Chandra X-ray Observatory grating spectrometers allow study of stellar spectra at resolutions on the order of 1000. Prior x-ray observatories' low resolution data have shown that nearly all classes of stars emit x-rays. Chandra reveals details of line and continuum contributions to the spectra which can be interpreted through application of plasma models based on atomic databases. For cool stars with hot coronae interpreted in the Solar paradigm, assumption of collisional ionization equilibrium allows derivation of temperature distributions and elemental abundances. Densities can be derived from He-like ion's metastable transition lines. Abundance trends are unlike the Sun, as are the very hot temperature distributions. For young stars, there is evidence of accretion driven x-ray emission, rather than magnetically confined plasma emission. For some hot stars, the expected emission mechanism of shocked winds has been challenged; there is now evidence for magnetically confined thermal plasmas. The helium-like line emission in hot stars is susceptible to photoexcitation, which can also be exploited to derive wind structure.

description: Flavour-changing neutral-current interactions of the top quark can be searched for in top-quark pair production with one top quark decaying to an up-type quark and a neutral boson, and they can be searched for in the single production of a top quark in association with such a boson. Both processes interfere if an additional up-type quark is produced in the case of single production. The impact of these interference effects on searches for flavour-changing neutral currents at the LHC is studied for the case where the neutral boson is a photon or a Z boson. Interference effects are found to be smaller than variations of the renormalisation and factorisation scales.

description: Introduction: Between July 2016 and September 2017, emergency department (ED) visits for opioid overdose increased by 30% in the United States and by 66% in Illinois. The objective of this study was to monitor the progression of the opioid epidemic in Illinois through an analysis of ED visits for opioid use, abuse, dependence, and overdose between January 2016 and June 2018. We analyze the relative incidence of inpatient hospitalization and death among patient demographics. Methods: Administrative data from 194 non-federal Illinois hospital EDs were obtained from the Illinois Hospital Association Comparative Health Care and Hospital Data Reporting Services database. We isolated ED visits with ICD-10 codes for opioids and looked at patient characteristics. We estimated Poisson regression models to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for death or hospitalization.Results: We found 130,785 ED visits for opioid use, abuse, dependence, or overdose during the 30-month study period. Comparing the first six months of each year, the average number of opioid-related ED visits increased from 3,935 visits per month in 2016 to 4,462 visits per month in 2018 (13% increase). Of those coded as opioid overdose (n=31,129), 65.6% were male, 52.5% were non-Hispanic white, 55.5% were between 35-64 years old, and 47.1% were Medicaid enrollees. Non-Hispanic blacks were less likely to have opioid-related death compared to non-Hispanic whites (IRR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.60-0.95). Compared to visits for opioid use, visits coded as opioid overdose resulted in death more frequently (IRR = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.60-2.61) and hospitalization less frequently (IRR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.56-0.76). Visits coded as opioid dependence resulted in death less frequently (IRR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.50-0.85) compared to opioid use. There were no statistically significant differences in hospitalization rates between opioid abuse or dependence and opioid use. Overdose with synthetic opioids had a lower likelihood of death compared to non-synthetic opioid use (IRR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.32-0.93).Conclusions: Over 30 months, ED visits for opioid overdoses have increased whereas the number for opioid use, abuse, and dependence have remained unchanged. The number of deaths and hospitalizations by overdose primarily reflects trends in heroin use. Publicly available hospital administrative data has a wealth of valuable information for public health officials working to control the opioid epidemic.

description: The university experience is one of tremendous growth and development, often providing diverse opportunities that shape the type of person one will become. On campus recreational programs have been shown to improve a student’s sense of belonging (SSOB) to their campus, which in turn renders a host of benefits to the student such as enhanced psychosocial well-being, academic success, and improved social skills (Buote et al., 2007, Newbold et al., 2011, Chiu et al., 2016). However, there appears to be a lack of participation which coincides with gaps in opportunities provided to particular student demographics. One such minority is commuter students. Comprising 75% of the total 44 565 student population at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the group has been severely underserved in this context. The purpose of this paper is to identify barriers that commuter students at UBC face in terms of embracing SSOB, and provide insight into the kinds of initiatives and resources that should be implemented to enhance their experience. After recruiting commuter students with a commute longer than 45 minutes to campus, and conducting numerous semi-structured interviews and transcribing the audio recordings, the interview data confirmed that commuter students do not feel a strong sense of belonging at UBC, which is reflected in low participation rates in school sponsored activities.. Barriers in terms of access to recreational programs on campus were identified through the interviews, and include limited selection of activities on campus, hardship of work, study, and life balance, limited access to safe space to store belongings which forces students to haul heavy bags all day, and expensive food and beverage options on campus. Using this data, the goal is to provide framework in designing and implementing recreational programs designed specifically for commuter students to maximize their experience and promote physical activity on and off campus. Overall, we will recommend the implementation of lounges tailored to commuter students that will act as a resource to facilitate student engagement and create a sense of belonging for commuter students on campus. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Within the framework of the modified potential cluster model with forbidden states, the $^{13}$N($p,γ$)$^{14}$O reaction rate and the astrophysical $S$-factor are considered. It is shown that the first $p^{13}$% N resonance determines the $S$-factor and contributions of the $M1$ and $E2$ transitions are negligible at energies $E<1$ MeV, but are significant at high energies. The $S$-factor strongly depends on the $^{3}S_{1}$ resonance parameters. The influence of the width of \ the $^{3}S_{1}$ resonance on $S$% -factor is demonstrated. The reaction rate is calculated and an analytical approximation for the reaction rate is proposed. A comparison of our calculation with existing data is addressed. Results of our calculations for the $^{13}$N($p,γ)^{14}$O reaction rate provide the contribution to the steadily improving reaction rate database libraries. Our calculations of the $% ^{13}$N($p,γ)^{14}$O reaction rate along with results for the rates of $^{14}$N($% p,γ)^{15}$O and $^{12}$C$(p,γ)^{13}$N processes provide the temperature range $0.13

description: Production of D*+/-(2010) mesons in diffractive deep inelastic scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb^{-1}. Diffractive events were identified by the presence of a large rapidity gap in the final state. Differential cross sections have been measured in the kinematic region 1.5 < Q^2 < 200 GeV^2, 0.02 < y < 0.7, x_{IP} < 0.035, beta < 0.8, p_T(D*+/-) > 1.5 GeV and |η(D*+/-)| < 1.5. The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical predictions. The results are presented in terms of the open-charm contribution to the diffractive proton structure function. The data demonstrate a strong sensitivity to the diffractive parton densities.

description: Extremely light bosonic wave dark matter ($ψ$DM) is an emerging dark matter candidate contesting the conventional cold dark matter paradigm and a model subject to intense scrutiny of late. This work for the first time reports testable salient features pertinent to gravitational lenses of $ψ$DM halos. $ψ$DM halos are distinctly filled with large-amplitude, small-scale density fluctuations with $δρ/ρ_{\rm halo}\sim 1$ in form of density granules. This halo yields ubiquitous flux ratio anomalies of a few tens of percent, as is typically found for lensed quasars, and may also produce rare hexad and octad images, for sources located in well-defined caustic zones. We have found new critical features appearing in the highly de-magnified lens center when the halo has sufficiently high surface density near a very compact massive core.

description: We use a Monte Carlo implementation of recently developed models of double diffraction to assess the sensitivity of the LHC experiments to Standard Model Higgs bosons produced in exclusive double diffraction. The signal is difficult to extract, due to experimental limitations related to the first level trigger, and to contamination by inclusive double diffractive background. Assuming the above difficulties can be overcome, the expected signal-to-background ratio is presented as a function of the experimental resolution on the missing mass. Injecting a missing mass resolution of 2 GeV, a signal-to-background ratio of about 0.5 is obtained; a resolution of 1 GeV brings a signal to background ratio of 1. This result is lower than previous estimates, and the discrepancy is explained.

description: Recently it has been noted by Di Valentino, Melchiorri and Silk (2019) that the enhanced lensing signal relative to that expected in the spatially flat $Λ$CDM model poses a possible crisis for the Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) class of models usually used to interpret cosmological data. The 'crisis' amounts to inconsistencies between cosmological datasets arising when the FLRW curvature parameter $Ω_{k0}$ is determined from the data rather than constrained to be zero a priori. Moreover, the already substantial discrepancy between the Hubble parameter as determined by Planck and local observations increases to the level of $5σ$. While such inconsistencies might arise from systematic effects of astrophysical origin affecting the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) power spectra at small angular scales, it is an option that the inconsistencies are due to the failure of the FLRW assumption. In this paper we recall how the FLRW curvature ansatz is expected to be violated for generic relativistic spacetimes. We explain how the FLRW conservation equation for volume-averaged spatial curvature is modified through structure formation, and we illustrate in a simple framework how the curvature tension in a FLRW spacetime can be resolved -- and is even expected to occur -- from the point of view of general relativity. Requiring early-time convergence towards a Friedmannian model with a spatial curvature parameter $Ω_{k0}$ equal to that preferred from the Planck power spectra resolves the Hubble tension within our dark energy-free model.

description: The nonlinear supermatrix $σ$-model is widely used to understand the physics of Anderson localization and the level statistics in noninteracting disordered electron systems. In contrast to the general belief that the supersymmetry method applies only to systems of noninteracting particles, we adopt this approach to the disorder averaging in the interacting models. In particular, we apply supersymmetry to study the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, where the disorder averaging has so far been performed only within the replica approach. We use a slightly modified, time-reversal invariant version of the SYK model and perform calculations in real-time. As a demonstration of how the supersymmetry method works, we derive saddle point equations. In the semiclassical limit, we show that the results are in agreement with those found using the replica technique. We also develop the formally exact superbosonized representation of the SYK model. In the latter, the supersymmetric theory of original fermions and their superpartner bosons is reformulated as a model of unconstrained collective excitations. We argue that the supersymmetry description of the model paves the way for precise calculations in SYK-like models used in condensed matter, gravity, and high energy physics.

Multiwavelength Spectrum of the Black Hole XTE J1118+480 in Quiescence

description: We present an X-ray/UV/optical spectrum of the black hole primary in the X-ray nova XTE J1118+480 in quiescence at L_x = 4 x 10^{-9} of the Eddington luminosity. The Chandra, HST and MMT spectroscopic observations were performed simultaneously on 2002 January 12 UT. Because this 4.1-hr binary is located at b = 62 deg, the transmission of the ISM is very high (e.g., 70% at 0.3 keV). We present many new results for the quiescent state, such as the first far-UV spectrum and evidence for an 0.35 mag orbital modulation in the near-UV flux. However, the centerpiece of our work is the multiwavelength spectrum of XTE J1118+480, which we argue represents the canonical spectrum of a stellar-mass black hole radiating at L_x = 4 x 10^{-8.5} of the Eddington luminosity. This spectrum is comprised of two apparently disjoint components: a hard X-ray spectrum with a photon index Gamma = 2.02 +/- 0.16, and an optical/UV continuum that resembles a 13,000 K disk blackbody spectrum punctuated by several strong emission lines. We present a model of the source in which the accretion flow has two components: (1) an X-ray-emitting interior region where the flow is advection-dominated, and (2) a thin, exterior accretion disk with a truncated inner edge (R_tr ~ 10^4 Schwarzschild radii) that is responsible for the optical/UV spectrum. For D = 1.8 kpc, the luminosity of the X-ray component is L_x = 3.5 x 10^{30} erg/s (0.3-7 keV); the bolometric luminosity of the optical/UV component is 20 times greater.

Giant Quantum Oscillations of the Longitudinal Magnetoresistance in Quasi two-dimensional Metals

description: We have investigated in frame of the quantum transport theory the magnetic quantum oscillations of the longitudinal magnetoresistance $ρ_{zz}$ in quasi two-dimensional metals for a magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. Giant Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are found when the cyclotron energy $\hbar ω_{c}$ is much larger than the interlayer transfer integral $t$ (the two-dimensional limit). In large magnetic fields and at low temperatures, the minima of the magnetoconductivity $σ_{zz}=ρ_{zz}^{-1}$ exhibit a thermally activated behavior in presence of negligibly small chemical potential oscillations, as observed in the organic layered conductor $β''\mathrm{-(BEDT-TTF)}_{2}\mathrm{SF}_{5}\mathrm{CH}_{2}\mathrm{CF}_{2}\m athrm{SO}_{3}$. The questions concerning the absence of strong chemical potential oscillations in such compound and the impurity self-energy are discussed.

description: Objective: Provide a qualitative study of the experiences and challenges of intensivists providing care in public ICUs in a Middle-Income country like Argentina.Methods: Research was conducted during 15 months in two Intensive Care Units in two public hospitals in the periphery of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The data was collected through deep-immersion participant observation, semi-structured interviewing, literature review, and elicitation of professional diaries from physicians.Results: Intensivists in the study report experiencing various challenges in their profession, including: stressful clinical scenarios; difficult management of the relationship with patient family members, engaging in bioethical and end-of-life discussions and decisions; infrastructural constraints such as lack of resources, budget cuts and austerity measures, low wages, and broader economic uncertainty.Discussion: The importance of socio-cultural and political economic-context is often placed as a  background in many studies that examine the ICU as a working environment. Qualitative and ethnography studies can shed light on how specific conditions affect the work of critical care professionals, thus adding nuance and depth to quantitative or survey studies on workplace satisfaction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, ICUs have been put under extreme strain all over the world, albeit differently. Qualitative perspectives are and will be especially important calls for more qualitative studies that examine both the importance of context and the experiences of  intensive care professionals at this trying time.
