description: Subjective cognitive decline may reflect a dementia prodrome or modifiable risk factor such as sleep disturbance. What is the association between sleep and subjective cognitive decline? Cross-sectional design, from two studies of older adults: the WHICAP in the USA and the HELIAD in Greece. A total of 1,576 WHICAP and 1,456 HELIAD participants, without mild cognitive impairment, dementia or severe depression/anxiety, were included. Participants were mostly women, with 12 (WHICAP) and 8 (HELIAD) mean years of education. Sleep problems were estimated using the Sleep Scale from the Medical Outcomes Study. Subjective cognitive decline was assessed using a structured complaint questionnaire that queries for subjective memory and other cognitive symptoms. Multinomial or logistic regression models were used to examine whether sleep problems were associated with complaints about general cognition, memory, naming, orientation and calculations. Age, sex, education, sleep medication, use of medications affecting cognition, co-morbidities, depression and anxiety were used as co-variates. Objective cognition was also estimated by summarizing neuropsychological performance into composite z-scores. Sleep problems were associated with two or more complaints: WHICAP: β = 1.93 (95% confidence interval: 1.59–2.34), p ≤ .0001; HELIAD: β = 1.48 (95% confidence interval: 1.20–1.83), p ≤ .0001. Sleep problems were associated with complaints in all the cognitive subcategories, except orientation for the WHICAP. The associations were noted regardless of objective cognition. At any given level of objective cognition, sleep disturbance is accompanied by subjective cognitive impairment. The replicability in two ethnically, genetically and culturally different cohorts adds validity to our results. The results have implications for the correlates, and potential aetiology of subjective cognitive decline, which should be considered in the assessment and treatment of older adults with cognitive complaints.
Search for non-pointing photons in the diphoton and E_T^miss final state in sqrt(s) = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

description: A search has been performed for photons originating in the decay of a neutral long-lived particle, exploiting the capabilities of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter to make precise measurements of the flight direction of photons, as well as the calorimeter's excellent time resolution. The search has been made in the diphoton plus missing transverse energy final state, using the full data sample of 4.8/fb of 7 TeV proton-proton collisions collected in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No excess is observed above the background expected from Standard Model processes. The results are used to set exclusion limits in the context of Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking models, with the lightest neutralino being the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle and decaying with a lifetime in excess of 0.25 ns into a photon and a gravitino.

description: We investigate the MiniBooNE recent data on the antineutrino nucleus interaction, using the same theoretical description with the same parameters as in previous works on neutrino interactions. The double differential quasielastic cross section, which is free from the energy reconstruction problem, is well reproduced by our model once the multinucleon excitations are incorporated. A similar agreement is achieved for the Q^2 distribution.

description: Background: The T-20 vs. Optimized Regimen Only Study 1 (TORO 1) was a randomized, open-label,
phase 3 study of enfuvirtide (T-20), a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)
fusion inhibitor.
Methods: Patients from 48 sites in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil with at least six
months of previous treatment with agents in three classes of antiretroviral drugs, resistance
to drugs in these classes, or both, and with at least 5000 copies of HIV-1 RNA
per milliliter of plasma were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive enfuvirtide plus
an optimized background regimen of three to five antiretroviral drugs or such a regimen
alone (control group). The primary efficacy end point was the change in the plasma
HIV-1 RNA level from base line to week 24.
Results: A total of 501 patients underwent randomization, and 491 received at least one dose of
study drug and had at least one measurement of plasma HIV-1 RNA after treatment
began. The two groups were balanced in terms of the median base-line HIV-1 RNA
level (5.2 log10 copies per milliliter in both groups), median CD4+ cell count (75.5
cells per cubic millimeter in the enfuvirtide group, and 87.0 cells per cubic millimeter
in the control group), demographic characteristics, and previous antiretroviral therapy.
At 24 weeks, the least-squares mean change from base line in the viral load (intention-
to-treat, last observation carried forward) was a decrease of 1.696 log10 copies
per milliliter in the enfuvirtide group, and a decrease of 0.764 log10 copies per milliliter
in the control group (P<0.001). The mean increases in CD4+ cell count were 76
cells per cubic millimeter and 32 cells per cubic millimeter, respectively (P<0.001).
Reactions at the site of the injections were reported by 98 percent of patients receiving
enfuvirtide. There were more cases of pneumonia in the enfuvirtide group than in the
control group.
Conclusions: The addition of enfuvirtide to an optimized antiretroviral regimen provided significant
antiretroviral and immunologic benefit through 24 weeks in patients who had previously
received multiple antiretroviral drugs and had multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection.
All order $α'$ higher derivative corrections to non-BPS branes of type IIB Super string theory

description: By dealing with the evaluation of string theory correlators of $$, the complete and closed form of the amplitude of two fermion fields, one tachyon and one closed string Ramond-Ramond field in type IIB superstring theory is found. Specifically by comparing infinite tachyon poles in field theory amplitude with infinite tachyon poles of the S-matrix of string amplitude (for $p+1=n$ case), all the infinite higher derivative corrections of two tachyons and two fermions (in type IIB) to all orders of $α'$ have been discovered. Using these new couplings, we are able to produce infinite $t'+s'+u$-channel tachyon poles of string theory in field theory. Due to internal degrees of freedom of fermions and tachyon (Chan-Paton factors) we comment that, neither there should be single $s,t-$channel fermion (tachyon pole) nor their infinite poles. Due to internal CP factor we also discover that there is no coupling between two closed string Ramond-Ramond (RR) field and one tachyon in type II super string theory. Taking into account the fact that the kinetic terms of fermions, gauge, scalar fields and tachyons do not obtain any higher derivative corrections, and due to their CP factors, string theory amplitude dictates us there should not be any double poles in the amplitude of one RR, two fermions and one tachyon.

description: As the U.S. continues to emerge from the deadliest pandemic in over one hundred years, vaccination rates among Americans have steadily risen, and public health guidelines that have been in place for over a year are increasingly relaxed. In short, Americans are readjusting to a “new normal.” But what this “new normal” looks like for many Americans remains unclear. To better understand what Americans are most looking forward to, the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) at Columbia University’s Earth Institute partnered with the Marist Institute for Public Opinion to survey Americans and better understand what they are most looking forward to doing – or what getting back to ‘normal’ means to them.

Today, photographers andscholars alike study her work, which skillfully captured the character as well as the beauty of herfamous clients, encapsulating her theory “that every portrait should just as a motion picture does,tell a story, reveal a character or interpret a mood” (Tildesley). Attention to Louise’s career,however, is a fairly recent phenomenon; at the time of her death in 1940, Louise and her workwere largely forgotten.

description: In this paper, we proposed an identification and data encrypt key manage protocol that can be used in some security system based on such secure devices as secure USB memories or RFIDs, which are widely used for identifying persons or other objects recently. In general, the default functions of the security system using a mobile device are the authentication for the owner of the device and secure storage of data stored on the device. We proposed a security model that consists of the server and mobile devices in order to realize these security features. In this model we defined the secure communication protocol for the authentication and management of data encryption keys using a private key encryption algorithm with the public key between the server and mobile devices. In addition, we was performed the analysis for the attack to the communication protocol between the mobile device and server. Using the communication protocol, the system will attempt to authenticate the mobile device. The data decrypt key is transmitted only if the authentication process is successful. The data in the mobile device can be decrypted using the key. Our analysis proved that this Protocol ensures anonymity, prevents replay attacks and realizes the interactive identification between the security devices and the authentication server.

description: A Reggeometric (Regge+Geometry) model, based on the observed proportionality between the forward slope of the differential cross section and the interaction radius, the latter depending on virtuality Q2 of the incoming virtual photon and on the mass M 2 of the produced particle, is constructed. The objective of this study is the dependence of the Regge-pole amplitude on the virtuality Q2 and masses of the external particles, which remains an open problem for the theory. The present analysis is based on the HERA data on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and exclusive diffractive Vector Meson Production (VMP). We treat each class of reactions separately, anticipating a further study that will include both a soft and a hard component of the unique pomeron.

I. Mixing in doorway flows. II. Entrainment in fire plumes

description: The motion of hot combustion products through a burning structure plays a dominant role in fixing the spread of the fire and the spread of toxic gases. The first part of this report is concerned with the effect of door geometry on the rate of turbulent mixing between the hot and cold layers near a doorway. The second part of the report deals with the entrainment rates in the near field of a buoyant diffusion methane flame.

In the study of the motion of the hot combustion products near a doorway, the gas in the burning room is assumed to be divided into two homogeneous layers--the ceiling layer which contains the hot combustion products and the floor layer which contains the denser fresh air. Temperature and carbon dioxide measurements are taken from a half-scale room which uses a pump and furnace to simulate the entrainment and heating of the fresh air by the fire plume. The mass transfer rates are calculated from these measurements and are found to be a function of a Richardson number that uses the interface height measured from the floor as the characteristic length and the average inflow velocity of fresh air as the characteristic velocity. This form for Ri(0) is derived from an analysis based on Taylor's entrainment hypothesis. For a given fire size, i.e., for a given mass flow of fresh air into the room, the effect of reducing the door area is to reduce the value of Ri(0), and hence increase the mixing rate in the room. The door height is found to be a much stronger influence on the mixing rate and interface height than the door width.

The entrainment rates of fresh air in the near field of a buoyant diffusion methane flame whose flames extend well above the interface between the hot gas layer and the fresh air layer are measured for several interface heights. In the experiments, the ceiling layer-fire plume interaction is simulated by placing a large steel hood over an axisymmetric burner. The hood may be raised or lowered to change the interface height. The entrainment measurements are obtained from a chemical analysis of a dried sample of combustion products taken from the ceiling layer. The measured species concentrations are compared with the theoretical equilibrium composition of the ceiling layer gas. For a given interface height, the ceiling layer gas temperature is found to be a linear function of the fuel-air ratio up to the stoichiometric fuel-air ratio. Increasing the fuel-air ratio above the stoichiometric value did not change the gas temperature significantly. This maximum temperature is observed to decrease with interface height. The air entrainment rates are found to be a weak function of the fuel-air ratio at very low elevations of the interface.

description: Patients, families, providers, healthcare institutions, and society benefit from early and effective conflict engagement. Mediation increases the likelihood of closure and lessens the likelihood of moral residue. Adhering to the fundamentals of a principled resolution creates unique differences between bioethics and conventional mediation. The most profound difference is that the bioethics mediator is typically employed by the hospital and often a member of the ethics committee. This goes against the role of the conventional mediator, who must be independent. Although the in-house mediator is familiar with the providers and the institutional policies, procedures, and protocols, it is simply not possible to overcome the cloud of bias. I maintain that the bioethics mediator should be independent and suggest possible ways to overcome barriers to the independent mediator. In the long term care setting, it is standard practice that when the resident or family sign admission documents they also sign an arbitration clause. Mediation should be an initial step in conflict resolution before arbitration. I strongly urge further exploration to expand mediation into the long term care setting. The COVID-19 pandemic forced mediation from conference rooms to zoom rooms. I suggest that using video conferencing for mediation has benefits. For example, it is more efficient and economical than requiring in-person meetings, and the family may feel less intimidated in their home environment. There is a compelling need for more significant publications and future research to move bioethics mediation to the forefront of conflict engagement in healthcare.

description: Drizzle is a common feature of warm stratiform clouds and it influences their radiative effects by modulating their physical properties and lifecycle. An important component of drizzle formation are processes that lead to a broadening of the droplet size distribution (DSD). Here, we examine observations of cloud and drizzle properties retrieved using colocated airborne measurements from the Research Scanning Polarimeter and the Third Generation Airborne Precipitation Radar. We observe a bimodal DSD as the aircraft transects drizzling open-cells whereby the larger mode reaches a maximum size near cloud center and the smaller mode remains relatively constant in size. We review similarities between our observations with droplet growth processes and their connections with precipitation onset. We estimate droplet sedimentation using the cloud top DSD and find a correlation with rain water path of 0.82. We also examine how changes in liquid water paths and droplet concentrations may act to enhance or suppress precipitation.

description: (abridged) When a sufficiently massive satellite (or secondary) black hole is embedded in a gas disk around a (primary) supermassive black hole, it can open an empty gap in the disk. A gap-opening secondary close to the primary will leave an imprint in the broad component of the FeKa emission line, which varies in a unique and predictable manner. If the gap persists into the innermost disk, the effect consists of a pair of dips in the broad line which ripple blue-ward and red-ward from the line centroid energy respectively, as the gap moves closer to the primary. This ripple effect could be unambiguously detectable and allow an electromagnetic monitoring of massive black hole mergers as they occur. As the mass ratio of the secondary to primary black hole increases to q>0.01, we expect the gap to widen, possibly clearing a central cavity in the inner disk, which shows up in the broad FeKa line component. If the secondary stalls at >100r_{g} in its in-migration, due to low co-rotating gas mass, a detectable ripple effect occurs in the broad line component on the disk viscous timescale as the inner disk drains and the outer disk is dammed. If the secondary maintains an accretion disk within a central cavity, due to dam bursting or leakage, a periodic 'see-saw' oscillation effect is exhibited in the observed line profile. Here we demonstrate the range of ripple effect signatures potentially detectable with Astro-H and IXO/Athena, and oscillation effects potentially detectable with XMM or LOFT for a wide variety of merger and disk conditions. Observations of the ripple effect and periodic oscillations can be used to provide an early warning of gravitational radiation emission from the AGN.

description: A mutation analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected around the world sorted by sequence, date, geographic location, and species has revealed a large number of variants from the initial reference sequence in Wuhan. This analysis also reveals that humans infected with SARS-CoV-2 have infected mink populations in the Netherlands, Denmark, United States, and Canada. In these animals, a small set of mutations in the spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD), often occurring in specific combinations, has transferred back into humans. The viral genomic mutations in minks observed in the Netherlands and Denmark show the potential for new mutations on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD to be introduced into humans by zoonotic transfer. Our data suggests that close attention to viral transfer from humans to farm animals and pets will be required to prevent build-up of a viral reservoir for potential future zoonotic transfer.

description: By combining the recent data from AMS-02 with those from Fermi-LAT, we show the emergence of a charge asymmetry in the electron and positron cosmic-ray excesses, slightly favoring the electron component. Astrophysical and dark matter inspired models introduced to explain the observed excesses can be classified according to their prediction for the charge asymmetry and its energy dependence. Future data confirming the presence of a charge asymmetry, would imply that an asymmetric production mechanism is at play.

description: The development of performance measures is not a new concept in the disaster preparedness space. For over a decade, goals have been developed and tied to federal preparedness grant programs. However, these measures have been heavily criticized for their inability to truly measure preparedness. There is also growing frustration at the local level that these performance measures do not account for local readiness priorities or the outcome-driven value of emergency response activities. To define an appropriate theoretical framework for the development of performance measures, a review of the literature on existing planning and preparedness frameworks was conducted, with an iterative feedback process with a local health agency. This paper presents elements of that literature review that were used most directly along with the conceptual framework that was used as a starting point for future iterations of a comprehensive performance measure development project.

The formation of systems with closely spaced low-mass planets and the application to Kepler-36

description: The Kepler-36 system consists of two planets that are spaced unusually close together, near the 7:6 mean motion resonance. While it is known that mean motion resonances can easily form by convergent migration, Kepler-36 is an extreme case due to the close spacing and the relatively high planet masses of 4 and 8 times that of the Earth. In this paper, we investigate whether such a system can be obtained by interactions with the protoplanetary disc. These discs are thought to be turbulent and exhibit density fluctuations which might originate from the magneto-rotational instability. We adopt a realistic description for stochastic forces due to these density fluctuations and perform both long term hydrodynamical and N-body simulations. Our results show that planets in the Kepler-36 mass range can be naturally assembled into a closely spaced planetary system for a wide range of migration parameters in a turbulent disc similar to the minimum mass solar nebula. The final orbits of our formation scenarios tend to be Lagrange stable, even though large parts of the parameter space are chaotic and unstable.

description: Radioisotopic geochronology applied to the high-resolution calibration of Earth history requires a set of syn- thetic and natural reference materials for both 40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb techniques that permit both inter-laboratory and inter-technique comparisons. The sanidine- and zircon-bearing Carboniferous Fire Clay tonstein provides a potential natural Paleozoic reference for these two widely used radioisotopic systems. Here we report results for both radioisotopic systems, examining the suitability of this tonstein as a geochronologic reference. Sanidine crystals from the Fire Clay and co-irradiated monitors from eight irradiation positions were divided into eleven 40Ar/39Ar experiments. Single-grain sanidine 40Ar/39Ar analyses (n = 263) of the simplest 9 experiments have internal 2σ uncertainties at the ± 1 Myr level ( ± 0.3%), with a range of dates between ~315 and ~317 Ma (~1% precision), similar to the observed dispersion in the Fish Canyon sanidine monitor dates. Forty-one U-Pb analyses by the CA-ID-TIMS method on carefully selected single Fire Clay tonstein zircons have produced 206Pb/238U dates with an average 2σ precision of ± 0.23 Myr (0.14%). Our Fire Clay preferred mean 40Ar/39Ar date of 315.36 ± 0.10 Ma ( ± 1.10 Ma: fully propagated 2σ uncertainty, relative to a Fish Canyon age of 28.201 Ma) is consistent with our weighted mean 206Pb/238U zircon date of 314.629 ± 0.039 Ma ( ± 0.35 Ma: fully propagated 2σ uncertainty; n = 27). The good single-crystal reproducibility of the sanidine data and the overall consistency between the two chronometers suggest that the tonstein holds promise as a Paleozoic age reference material.

description: The Century model was used to simulate soil C and N cycling and crop produc- tion dynamics in an ongoing field experiment in Uruguay (started in 1963). The model was calibrated using observed data from three treatments (crop or crop–pasture rotations) and validated with a fourth treatment. The model correctly predicted the impact of different treatments on microbial biomass, N mineralization, soil respi- ration, and crop yields. The model and observed data show that soil respiration, N mineralization, soil C, and crop yields increase with increasing plant-derived C inputs caused by increasing the frequency of pastures in the rotations. This is one of the first papers that show the strong positive correlation of observed soil C with plant C soil inputs to field-observed microbial biomass, soil respiration, and N mineralization. The results also showed that reducing tillage and transitioning to a no-till system increased soil C and reduced soil erosion. The main path of soil C losses was het- erotrophic microbial respiration, which accounted for 66% of the total C lost in a continuous crop rotation and no fertilizers, 71% in a continuous crop rotation with fertilizers, and 86% in a crop–pasture rotation with fertilizers. Model results from a degraded cropping system showed that adding grass–clover (Trifolium spp.) pastures greatly increased plant production and soil C, whereas reducing the frequency of grass–clover pastures in high-fertility cropping systems from 50% of the time to 25% reduces crop yields and soil C. Including cover crops substantially increases crop production and maintains soil C in high-fertility and degraded cropping systems.

description: The aim of this work was to show few examples and few perspective of modeling in epidemiology. We began with differential equations which were a first tool to describe and predict that phenomena. Wroclaw as a cite was very important, because statistics from smallpox epidemic were used by Bernoulli to estimate parameters of first mathematical model of epidemic. Next step were SIR models and those also appeared first as differential equations. They were very popular in begin of XX century. When computer simulation changed the world of mathematical modeling agent-based models gave more possibilities in epidemiology. That models have a big privilege on differential equation, because of information of social network people habits and reaction on infections, which can me involved in agent-based models as well as governmental intervention. We showed in this work how that human relations are important in transmitting diseases and there is example, where it is possible to conduct experiments of significant policy relevance (vaccinating), such as investigating the initial growth of an epidemic on a real-world network. Presented H1N1 model could be observed in real time (prediction was made in September 2009 for winter season 2009/2010) what make it more exiting and also practice.

description: We consider the problem of sampling a high dimensional multimodal target probability measure. We assume that a good proposal kernel to move only a subset of the degrees of freedoms (also known as collective variables) is known a priori. This proposal kernel can for example be built using normalizing flows. We show how to extend the move from the collective variable space to the full space and how to implement an accept-reject step in order to get a reversible chain with respect to a target probability measure. The accept-reject step does not require to know the marginal of the original measure in the collective variable (namely to know the free energy). The obtained algorithm admits several variants, some of them being very close to methods which have been proposed previously in the literature. We show how the obtained acceptance ratio can be expressed in terms of the work which appears in the Jarzynski-Crooks equality, at least for some variants. Numerical illustrations demonstrate the efficiency of the approach on various simple test cases, and allow us to compare the variants of the algorithm.
