description: Background The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on healthcare services is likely to affect birth outcomes including the delivery mode. However, recent evidence has been conflicting in this regard. The study aimed to assess changes to C-section rate during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of women delivered in the maternity department of hospitals in all provinces of Iran before the COVID-19 pandemic (February-August 30, 2019) and during the pandemic (February-August 30, 2020). Data were collected through the Iranian Maternal and Neonatal Network (IMAN), a country-wide electronic health record database management system for maternal and neonatal information. A total of 1,208,671 medical records were analyzed using the SPSS software version 22. The differences in C-section rates according to the studied variables were tested using the χ2 test. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors associated with C-section. Results A significant rise was observed in the rates of C-section during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic (52.9% vs 50.8%; p = .001). The rates for preeclampsia (3.0% vs 1.3%), gestational diabetes (6.1% vs 3.0%), preterm birth (11.6% vs 6.9%), IUGR (1.2% vs 0.4%), LBW (11.2% vs 7.8%), and low Apgar score at first minute (4.2% vs 3.2%) were higher in women who delivered by C-section compared to those with normal delivery (P = .001). Conclusions The overall C-section rate during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic was significantly higher than the pre-pandemic period. C-section was associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Thus, preventing the overuse of C-section especially during pandemic becomes an urgent need for maternal and neonatal health in Iran.
Measurement of the Forward-Backward Asymmetry in the Production of $B^{\pm}$ Mesons in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV

description: We present a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in the production of $B^{\pm}$ mesons, $A_{\rm FB}(B^{\pm})$, using $B^{\pm} \rightarrow J/ψK^{\pm}$ decays in 10.4 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV collected by the D0 experiment during Run II of the Tevatron collider. A nonzero asymmetry would indicate a preference for a particular flavor, i.e., $b$ quark or $\bar{b}$ antiquark, to be produced in the direction of the proton beam. We extract $A_{\rm FB}(B^{\pm})$ from a maximum likelihood fit to the difference between forward- and backward-produced $B^{\pm}$ mesons. We measure an asymmetry consistent with zero: $A_{\rm FB}(B^{\pm})$ = [$-$0.24 $\pm$ 0.41 (stat) $\pm$ 0.19 (syst)]%.

description: The light-nuclei yield ratio is one of the candidates to probe the critical fluctuations of hot QCD matter. In this paper, we investigate the \textit{background effects}, namely the non-critical effects coming from the non-trivial thermal background, on the light-nuclei production within the framework of the coalescence model. Specifically, we analyze the impact of the equilibrium phase-space distribution function of nucleons, $f(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{p})$, on the light-nuclei yield ratio $N_tN_p/N_d^2$, where $N_t$, $N_p$, and $N_d$ denote triton, proton, and deuteron yields. By considering the characteristic function of the phase-space distribution, we systematically expand the yield of light nuclei of $A$-constituent nucleons, $N_A$, in terms of the \textit{phase-space cumulants}, $\langle\mathbf{r}^n\mathbf{p}^m\rangle_c$. We find that the cumulants up to the second-order are canceled out in the generalized ratio $N_p^{B-A} N_B^{A-1}/N_A^{B-1}$. This means that the dominant background effects including the fireball size, the kinetic freeze-out temperature, and the coordinate--momentum correlations caused by the radial expansion play an insignificant role in the yield ratio, which supports the yield ratio as a useful tool for the critical-point search. We also show several examples of background phase-space distributions for the qualitative illustration. The higher-order cumulants, which correspond to the non-Gaussian shape of the phase-space profile, play an important role in the variation of the yield ratio particularly for the smaller fireball sizes. Qualitatively, the spatial structure of the background decreases the yield ratio, and the azimuthal anisotropy $v_n$ increases it. The higher order of the azimuthal anisotropy causes a larger effect on the yield ratio. These results call for the comprehensive future studies of the yield ratio using sophisticated dynamical models.

description: We explore the possibilities in two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) of Type I and Type II for Higgs states with mass below about 60 GeV, i.e. less than half of the ~125 GeV mass of the observed SM-like Higgs boson. We identify the latter as either the lighter or the heavier CP-even state, h or H, and employ scans of the 2HDM parameter space taking into account all relevant theoretical and experimental constraints, including the most up-to-date Higgs signal strength measurements. We find that, in both Type I and Type II models, such light Higgs states are phenomenologically viable and can lead to interesting signatures. Part of the relevant parameter space may be testable with the existing 8 TeV LHC data, e.g. by looking for direct production of the light state via gg-fusion or bb-associated-production using its τ^+ τ^- and μ^+ μ^- decays at low invariant mass.

description: We study a practical algorithm for sparse principal component analysis (PCA) of incomplete and noisy data. Our algorithm is based on the semidefinite program (SDP) relaxation of the non-convex $l_1$-regularized PCA problem. We provide theoretical and experimental evidence that SDP enables us to exactly recover the true support of the sparse leading eigenvector of the unknown true matrix, despite only observing an incomplete (missing uniformly at random) and noisy version of it. We derive sufficient conditions for exact recovery, which involve matrix incoherence, the spectral gap between the largest and second-largest eigenvalues, the observation probability and the noise variance. We validate our theoretical results with incomplete synthetic data, and show encouraging and meaningful results on a gene expression dataset.

description: Citizen science is rapidly gaining momentum as a means of involving members of the public in research and decision-making in disease prevention and health promotion. However, citizen science projects have predominantly been led by academic researchers and there is limited understanding of how to support the application of citizen science approaches in policy and practice settings. This study aimed to understand the perceptions, motivations and early experiences of applying citizen science approaches in policy and practice settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with policy and practice stakeholders who were leading citizen science projects (project partners, n = 7), and their implementation partners (project implementers, n = 11). Participants viewed citizen science as an opportunity to access hard-to-reach data and to enhance engagement with community members to support policy and practice change. Barriers and facilitators of citizen science in policy and practice settings included navigating collaborative relationships, team capacity and resources available to deliver projects, recruitment and engagement of citizen scientists and ethical considerations in the design and implementation of citizen science projects. Findings support the feasibility and wider application of citizen science approaches in health promotion and are being used to inform the development of tools and resources to build capacity in these approaches in policy and practice settings.

description: Laser-induced molecular alignment is well understood within the framework of the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation Without the BO approximation, however, the concept of molecular structure is lost, making alignment hard to define precisely. In this work, we demonstrate the emergence of alignment from the first-ever non-BO quantum dynamics simulations, using the HD molecule exposed to ultrashort laser pulses as a few-body test case We extract the degree of alignment from the non-BO wave function by means of an operator expressed in terms of pseudo-proton coordinates that mimics the BO-based definition of alignment The only essential approximation, in addition to the semiclassical electric-dipole approximation for the matter-field interaction, is the choice of time-independent explicitly correlated Gaussian basis functions. We use a variational, electric-field-dependent basis-set construction procedure, which allows us to keep the basis-set dimension low whilst capturing the main effects of electric polarization on the nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom. The basis-set construction procedure is validated by comparing with virtually exact grid-based simulations for two one-dimensional model systems: laser-driven electron dynamics in a soft attractive Coulomb potential and nuclear rovibrational dynamics in a Morse potential.

description: A Stochastic Simulator (SS) is proposed, based on a semiclassical description of the radiation-matter interaction, to obtain an efficient description of the lasing transition for devices ranging from the nanolaser to the traditional "macroscopic" laser. Steady-state predictions obtained with the SS agree both with more traditional laser modeling and with the description of phase transitions in small-sized systems, and provide additional information on fluctuations. Dynamical information can easily be obtained, with good computing time efficiency, which convincingly highlights the role of fluctuations at threshold.

description: Doppler ultrasound (DU) measurements are used to detect and evaluate venous gas emboli (VGE) formed after decompression. Automated methodologies for assessing VGE presence using signal processing have been developed on varying real-world datasets of limited size and without ground truth values preventing objective evaluation. We develop and report a method to generate synthetic post-dive data using DU signals collected in both precordium and subclavian vein with varying degrees of bubbling matching field-standard grading metrics. This method is adaptable, modifiable, and reproducible, allowing for researchers to tune the produced dataset for their desired purpose. We provide the baseline Doppler recordings and code required to generate synthetic data for researchers to reproduce our work and improve upon it. We also provide a set of pre-made synthetic post-dive DU data spanning six scenarios representing the Spencer and Kisman-Masurel (KM) grading scales as well as precordial and subclavian DU recordings. By providing a method for synthetic post-dive DU data generation, we aim to improve and accelerate the development of signal processing techniques for VGE analysis in Doppler ultrasound.

The Arizona Department of Transportation has requested that archaeological Phase 1 data recovery be conducted at the prehistoric and historic artifact scatter, O:12:14/75. This site, just west of the Preacher Canyon construction segment, will be impacted by construction of an access road to the Payson Wells site. The wells provide the water necessary for the State Route 260 (S.R. 260) road improvement. The archaeological investigations will be conducted as part of Desert Archaeology, Inc.'s S.R. 260 - Payson to Heber project. This report includes a description of the stie, the testing phase tasks to be undertaken at the site, and scheduling considerations. More detailed discussion of testing phase methods, including field methods for prehistoric sites, monitoring and discovery plan, policy on human remains, and plans for Native American involvement and public programs can be found in the project treatment plan and previous work plans. The larger resesarch context of the project has been previoiusly described in the Treatment Plan (Herr 199, Herr et al. 1999). The following description is based on a combination of field visits and survey reports (Schaafsma 2000; Spalding 1998).

description: Symmetry-protected non-trivial states in chiral topological materials hold immense potential for fundamental science and technological advances. Here, we report electrical transport, quantum oscillations, and electronic structure results of a single crystal of chiral quantum material $\rm PtAl$. Based on the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations, we show that the smallest Fermi pocket ($α$) possesses a non-trivial Berry phase $1.16$$π$. The band associated with this Fermi pocket carries a linear energy dispersion over a substantial energy window of $\sim$700 meV that is further consistent with the calculated optical conductivity. First-principles calculations unfold that $\rm PtAl$ is a higher-fold chiral fermion semimetal where structural chirality drives the chiral fermions to lie at the high-symmetry $Γ$ and $R$ points of the cubic Brillouin zone. In the absence of spin-orbit coupling, the band crossings at $Γ$ and $\rm R$ points are three- and four-fold degenerate with a chiral charge of $-2$ and $+2$, respectively. The inclusion of spin-orbit coupling transforms these crossing points into four- and six-fold degenerate points with a chiral charge of $-4$ and $+4$. Nontrivial surface states on the $(001)$ plane connect the bulk projected chiral points through the long helical Fermi arcs that spread over the entire Brillouin zone.

description: The clinical approvals of KRAS G12C inhibitors have been a revolutionary advance in precision oncology, but response rates are often modest. To improve patient selection, we developed an integrated model to predict KRAS dependency. By integrating molecular profiles of a large panel of cell lines from the DEMETER2 dataset, we built a binary classifier to predict a tumor's KRAS dependency. Monte Carlo cross validation via ElasticNet within the training set was used to compare model performance and to tune parameters α and λ. The final model was then applied to the validation set. We validated the model with genetic depletion assays and an external dataset of lung cancer cells treated with a G12C inhibitor. We then applied the model to several Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. The final "K20" model contains 20 features, including expression of 19 genes and KRAS mutation status. In the validation cohort, K20 had an AUC of 0.94 and accurately predicted KRAS dependency in both mutant and KRAS wild-type cell lines following genetic depletion. It was also highly predictive across an external dataset of lung cancer lines treated with KRAS G12C inhibition. When applied to TCGA datasets, specific subpopulations such as the invasive subtype in colorectal cancer and copy number high pancreatic adenocarcinoma were predicted to have higher KRAS dependency. The K20 model has simple yet robust predictive capabilities that may provide a useful tool to select patients with KRAS mutant tumors that are most likely to respond to direct KRAS inhibitors.

description: We study the stability of the electroweak vacuum during and after the Starobinsky inflation, assuming the existence of the non-minimal Higgs coupling to the Ricci scalar. In the Starobinsky inflation, there exists $R^2$ term (with $R$ being the Ricci scalar), which modifies the evolution equation of the Higgs field. We consider the case that the non-minimal coupling is sizable so that the quantum fluctuation of the Higgs field is suppressed and that the Higgs amplitude is settled near the origin during the inflation. In such a case, the Higgs amplitude may be amplified in the preheating epoch after inflation because of the parametric resonance due to the non-minimal coupling. We perform a detailed analysis of the evolution of the Higgs field in the preheating epoch by a numerical lattice simulation and derive an upper bound on the non-minimal coupling constant $ξ$ in order to realize the electroweak vacuum in the present universe. We find that the upper bound on $ξ$ in the Starobinsky inflation model is more stringent than that in conventional inflation models without the $R^2$ term.

(Figs 8, 85–92)
Material studied. Late Eocene of Europe, Rovno amber: sex unknown; inclusion in elongate irregular piece of amber 15 mm long (Fig. 8), collection number K-27565 (SIZK).
Description. Body (Figs 85–92) elongate and moderately strongly convex, brown; BL 0.75 mm.
Head (Figs 85–92) broadest at eyes, HL 0.10 mm, HW about 0.18 mm; vertex (Fig. 89; vt) weakly convex and strongly transverse; frons (Fig. 89; fr) subtrapezoidal, flattened, posteriorly confluent with vertex; supraantennal tubercles weakly marked; eyes large, oval, strongly convex and relatively coarsely faceted. Antennae (Figs 85–92) distinctly shorter than half BL, AnL about 0.31 mm, all antennomeres elongate, XI slightly shorter than IX–X combined, distinctly broader than X, about twice as long as broad and nearly symmetrical.
Pronotum (Figs 85–92) subrectangular, but its shape is difficult to assess in the studied specimen; PL 0.20 mm, PW about 0.20 mm; pronotal disc seems to be broadest near anterior third, sides sinuate; posterior pronotal corners distinct; posterior margin shallowly bisinuate with indistinct flattening in front of scutellum; base with two pairs of small and shallow antebasal pits (Fig. 89; abp) connected by narrow transverse antebasal groove (Fig. 89; abg). Punctures on pronotal disc very small but distinct, separated by spaces 2–3 × as wide as diameters of punctures; setae very short, moderately dense, suberect (Figs 85–89).
Elytra (Figs 85–92) elongate oval, moderately convex, EL 0.45 mm, EW about 0.25 mm, EI about 1.80; punctures slightly larger than those on pronotal disc; setae similar to those on pronotum (Figs 85–86, 89).
Legs (Figs 85–92) moderately long, slender, unmodified; tibiae straight or weakly curved.
Remarks. This is another well-preserved specimen of Cephennomicrus with perfectly exposed key generic characters, but the species is so unremarkable that presenting a reliable diagnosis is not possible. It is most similar to the specimen DU-32, described below as Cephennomicrus sp. 5. Both specimens share a similarly small body about 0.75 mm in length, similar body form and fine punctures, and similar setae on the pronotum and elytra.
However, they clearly differ in proportions of body parts, especially in the elytral index (as far as it was possible to measure EL and EW in both specimens), and Cephennomicrus sp. 3 has all pronotal antebasal pits connected by a transverse groove, whereas Cephennomicrus sp. 5 has only the inner pair of pits connected. It seems justified to treat these specimens as belonging to two separate species, different from all other congeners found in Rovno amber.

description: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) now parallels that of the general population. Excess adiposity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is already elevated up to 10-fold in T1D, underscoring a compelling need to address weight management as part of routine T1D care. Sustainable weight management requires both diet and physical activity (PA). Diet and PA approaches must be optimized towards the underlying metabolic and behavioral challenges unique to T1D to support glycemic control throughout the day. Diet strategies for people with T1D need to take into consideration glycemic management, metabolic status, clinical goals, personal preferences, and sociocultural considerations. A major barrier to weight management in this high-risk population is the challenge of integrating regular PA with day-to-day management of T1D. Specifically, exercise poses a substantial challenge due to the increased risk of hypoglycemia and/or hyperglycemia. Indeed, about two-thirds of individuals with T1D do not engage in the recommended amount of PA. Hypoglycemia presents a serious health risk, yet prevention and treatment often necessitates the consumption of additional calories, which may prohibit weight loss over time. Exercising safely is a concern and challenge with weight management and maintaining cardiometabolic health for individuals living with T1D and many healthcare professionals. Thus, a tremendous opportunity exists to improve exercise participation and cardiometabolic outcomes in this population. This article will review dietary strategies, the role of combined PA and diet for weight management, current resources for PA and glucose management, barriers to PA adherence in adults with T1D, as well as findings and lessons learned from the Advancing Care for Type 1 Diabetes and Obesity Network (ACT1ON).

description: We investigate quasinormal modes, greybody factor, and Hawking evaporation of a five-dimensional Kerr-anti de Sitter (AdS$_5$) black hole by solving a wave equation for a test massive scalar field in terms of the local Heun function. We clarify the distribution of the quasinormal modes satisfying the ingoing and decaying boundary conditions at the event horizon and conformal infinity, respectively, and their splitting behaviors in the complex frequency plane with respect to a variation of spin parameters. We also point out the existence of purely imaginary modes. Further, we develop a method to extract in/outgoing waves near the AdS boundary, which enables us to define the greybody factor for a wide range of parameter space complementary to previous works. Using the greybody factor, we compute evaporation rates for mass and spins for the Kerr-AdS$_5$ black hole via the Hawking radiation of the scalar field.

description: We use a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) to image the magnetic flux produced by a superconducting device designed for quantum computing. The nanometer-scale SQUID-on-tip probe reveals the flow of superconducting current through the circuit as well as the locations of trapped magnetic flux. In particular, maps of current flowing out of a flux-control line in the vicinity of a qubit show how these elements are coupled, providing insight on how to optimize qubit control.

description: We analyze the longitudinal-transverse double-spin asymmetry in lepton-nucleon collisions where a single hadron is detected in the final state, i.e., $\vec{\ell}\,N^\uparrow \rightarrow h\,X$. This is a subleading-twist observable in collinear factorization, and we look at twist-3 effects in both the transversely polarized nucleon and the unpolarized outgoing hadron. Results are anticipated for this asymmetry from both HERMES and Jefferson Lab Hall A, and it could be measured as well at COMPASS and a future Electron-Ion Collider. We also perform a numerical study of the distribution term, which, when compared to upcoming experimental results, could allow one to learn about the "worm-gear"-type function $\tilde{g}(x)$ as well as assess the role of quark-gluon-quark correlations in the initial-state nucleon and twist-3 effects in the fragmenting unpolarized hadron.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: While the Lorentz structures of the $N \to Δ$ transition matrix element of the vector current is well-known, that of the symmetric energy-momentum tensor current is unknown. In this letter, we first reproduce the Lorentz structures of the $\frac{1}{2}^{\pm} \to \frac{1}{2}^{\pm}$, $\frac{1}{2}^{\mp} \to \frac{1}{2}^{\pm}$, and $\frac{1}{2}^{\mp} \to \frac{3}{2}^{\pm}$ transition matrix elements of the vector current. We also repeat the parametrizations of the symmetric energy-momentum tensor current for the $\frac{1}{2}^{\pm} \to \frac{1}{2}^{\pm}$ and $\frac{1}{2}^{\mp} \to \frac{1}{2}^{\pm}$ transitions. We then consider both $\frac{1}{2}^{\pm} \to \frac{3}{2}^{\pm}$ and $\frac{1}{2}^{\mp} \to \frac{3}{2}^{\pm}$ matrix elements of the symmetric energy-momentum tensor current (say, $N \to Δ$ transition) for the first time. We found that there are five independent conserved and four independent non-conserved energy-momentum tensor form factors.

description: Event-based imaging is a neurmorphic detection technique whereby an array of pixels detects a positive or negative change in light intensity at each pixel, and is hence particularly well suited to detecting motion. As compared to standard camera technology, an event-based camera reduces redundancy by not detecting regions of the image where there is no motion, allowing increased frame-rates without compromising on field-of-view. Here, we apply event-based imaging to detect the motion of a microparticle levitated under vacuum conditions, which greatly facilitates the study of nanothermodynamics and enables the independent detection and control of arrays of many particles.
Improved description of e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}π^0 cross section line shape and more stringent constraints on ψ(3770) and ψ(4230) \to p\bar{p}π^0

description: By using the cross sections of e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}π^0 measured at the center-of-mass energies from 3.65 to 4.60 GeV, we find that the line shape well agrees with pure continuum production parametrized by a power law function and the significance of both ψ(3770) and ψ(4230) \to p\bar{p}π^0 is less than 0.4σ. We set more stringent constraints on the charmless decays of the charmonium state, ψ(3770), and the charmoniumlike state, ψ(4230), to p\bar{p}π^0 than in previous measurements. The data are also used to estimate the cross sections of p\bar{p} \to π^0ψ(3770) and p\bar{p} \to π^0ψ(4230) that are essential for planning the data taking of the PANDA experiment.

When Satellites Work as Eavesdroppers

description: This paper considers satellite eavesdroppers in uplink satellite communication systems where the eavesdroppers are randomly distributed at arbitrary altitudes according to homogeneous binomial point processes and attempt to overhear signals that a ground terminal transmits to a serving satellite. Non-colluding eavesdropping satellites are assumed, i.e., they do not cooperate with each other, so that their received signals are not combined but are decoded individually. Directional beamforming with two types of antennas: fixed- and steerable-beam antennas, is adopted at the eavesdropping satellites. The possible distribution cases for the eavesdropping satellites and the distributions of the distances between the terminal and the satellites are analyzed. The distributions of the signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) at both the serving satellite and the most detrimental eavesdropping satellite are derived as closed-form expressions. The ergodic and outage secrecy capacities of the systems are derived with the secrecy outage probability using the SNR distributions. Simpler approximate expressions for the secrecy performance are obtained based on the Poisson limit theorem, and asymptotic analyses are also carried out in the high-SNR regime. Monte-Carlo simulations verify the analytical results for the secrecy performance. The analytical results are expected to be used to evaluate the secrecy performance and design secure satellite constellations by considering the impact of potential threats from malicious satellite eavesdroppers.

description: There has been a massive increase in research interest towards applying data driven methods to problems in mechanics. While traditional machine learning (ML) methods have enabled many breakthroughs, they rely on the assumption that the training (observed) data and testing (unseen) data are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d). Thus, traditional ML approaches often break down when applied to real world mechanics problems with unknown test environments and data distribution shifts. In contrast, out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization assumes that the test data may shift (i.e., violate the i.i.d. assumption). To date, multiple methods have been proposed to improve the OOD generalization of ML methods. However, because of the lack of benchmark datasets for OOD regression problems, the efficiency of these OOD methods on regression problems, which dominate the mechanics field, remains unknown. To address this, we investigate the performance of OOD generalization methods for regression problems in mechanics. Specifically, we identify three OOD problems: covariate shift, mechanism shift, and sampling bias. For each problem, we create two benchmark examples that extend the Mechanical MNIST dataset collection, and we investigate the performance of popular OOD generalization methods on these mechanics-specific regression problems. Our numerical experiments show that in most cases, while the OOD generalization algorithms perform better compared to traditional ML methods on these OOD problems, there is a compelling need to develop more robust OOD generalization methods that are effective across multiple OOD scenarios. Overall, we expect that this study, as well as the associated open access benchmark datasets, will enable further development of OOD generalization methods for mechanics specific regression problems.

description: Background: Yoga may help adults of all fitness levels increase their physical activity and decrease their cardiovascular disease risk. Aim: To determine if arterial stiffness is lower (beneficial) in yoga versus non-yoga participants. Method: This cross-sectional study included 202 yoga (48.4 + 14.1 years, 81% female) and 181 (42.8 + 14.1 years, 44% female) non-yoga participants. The primary outcome was carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV). The two groups were compared using analysis of covariance with adjustments for demographic (age and sex), hemodynamic (mean arterial pressure and heart rate), lifestyle (physical activity levels, sedentary behaviour, smoking status and perceived stress score) and cardiometabolic (waist-to-hip ratio, total cholesterol and fasting glucose) factors. Results: Following adjustments, cfPWV was significantly lower in yoga compared to non-yoga participants with a mean difference: −0.28 m.s−1, (95% CI = −0.55 to 0.08). Conclusion: At a population level, yoga participation may assist with decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults.
A violation of the covariant entropy bound?

description: Several arguments suggest that the entropy density at high energy density $ρ$ should be given by the expression $s=K\sqrt{ρ/G}$, where $K$ is a constant of order unity. On the other hand the covariant entropy bound requires that the entropy on a light sheet be bounded by $A/4G$, where $A$ is the area of the boundary of the sheet. We find that in a suitably chosen cosmological geometry, the above expression for $s$ violates the covariant entropy bound. We consider different possible explanations for this fact; in particular the possibility that entropy bounds should be defined in terms of volumes of regions rather than areas of surfaces.
