description: Flimmern kann unter Umständen zu Kopfschmerzen und Augenbeschwerden führen. Dies war lange Zeit ein Problem von Leuchtstofflampen, welche aber heute mit elektronischen Vorschaltgeräten (EVG) ohne sichtbares Flimmern betrieben werden können. Auch wenn LEDs mit Pulsweitenmodulation oberhalb der Flimmerverschmelzungsfrequenz betrieben werden, sind Störungen und Beschwerden infolge von Stroboskopeffekten möglich: Bewegte Objekte scheinen sich ruckartig fortzubewegen. Technische Anforderungen um dies zu verhindern, werden zurzeit erarbeitet und sind für Teilbereiche bereits in EU-Richtlinien eingeflossen. In diesem Übersichtsvortrag wird der aktuelle Stand der Beschreibung, technischen Bedeutung, Wirkung auf den Menschen und der Bewertung von Flimmern und Stroboskopeffekten präsentiert.

description: Background: Persistent immune activation due to gut barrier dysfunction is a suspected cause of morbidity in HIV, but the impact of menopause on this pathway is unknown. Methods: In 350 women with HIV from the Women's Interagency HIV Study, plasma biomarkers of gut barrier dysfunction (intestinal fatty acid binding protein; IFAB), innate immune activation (soluble CD14 and CD163; sCD14, sCD163), and systemic inflammation (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1; IL-6, TNFR1) were measured at 674 person-visits spanning ≤2 years. Results: Menopause (post-vs premenopausal status) was associated with higher plasma sCD14 and sCD163 in linear mixed-effects regression adjusting for age and other covariates (β=161.89 ng/mL; 95% confidence interval [CI], 18.37-305.41 and 65.48 ng/mL, 95% CI, 6.64-124.33, respectively); but not with plasma IFAB, IL-6, or TNFR1. In piece-wise linear mixed-effects regression of biomarkers on years before/after the final menstrual period, sCD14 increased during the menopausal transition by 250.71 ng/mL per year (95% CI, 16.63-484.79; P=.04), but not in premenopausal or postmenopausal periods. Conclusions: In women with HIV, menopause may increase innate immune activation, but data did not support an influence on the gut barrier or inflammation. Clinical implications of immune activation during menopausal transition warrant further investigation.

description: This lightening talk will update the audience on our progress in creating and using Digital Preservation Plans at the World Bank Group (WBG) Archives. This builds on our panel presentation delivered at iPRES 2023. The WBG Archives has a backlog exceeding 50 terabytes of born-digital records awaiting ingest into our Digital Preservation Platform. To coordinate and prioritize the ingest of these materials, we have aligned our Digital Preservation Plans approach with a detailed catalog of the backlog materials.    Clear identification of the source and type of records in our backlog, combined with the detailed analysis and decisions required to create the Digital Preservation Plans, has resulted in an ability to streamline tackling the backlogged materials with confidence that we have done our due diligence before ingest. In addition, it has provided us with clear evidence as to which Digital Preservation Plans we need to create next.  This lightening talk seeks to give a glimpse behind the scenes to the work that needs to be done before our digital records can be ingested with real world examples and some suggestions of techniques that may aid others in a similar position.

description: Background: This review sheds light on the topic of phosphorus (P) recovery from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of organic waste.The paper focuses on the rising need for securing alternative P sources for the increasing demand, in addition to the development of HTC as a thermochemical technique for waste valorization. Results: This article studies the definition of P-recovery from HTC, while introducing the notion of availability, which is a significant factor for studying the efficiency of P-recovery. A brief comparison between different treatment techniques for P-recovery from waste streams is presented, and the advantages of HTC are highlighted among different thermochemical techniques. Furthermore, the mechanisms of P-transformation during HTC reactions are studied, and the effect of various parameters on P-destination and recovery is emphasized. Finally, applications of P-recovery from HTC products on the laboratory and industrial scales are studied to assess the feasibility of the application. Conclusion: In short, the paper offers a detailed insight into the definition, mechanism, and potential feasibility of P-recovery from HTC of organic wastes within the scopes of resource management, waste valorization, and fertilizer production. Even though HTC for P-recovery from organic waste has been applied on laboratory and industrial scales, several challenges persist towards optimizing this process. The paper concludes that adopting P-availability as a criterion for efficiency is necessary to optimize HTC conditions for P-recovery. Further studies on P-transformation during later-stage reactions of HTC are recommended, as well.

description: Mood inference with mobile sensing data has been studied in ubicomp literature over the last decade. This inference enables context-aware and personalized user experiences in general mobile apps and valuable feedback and interventions in mobile health apps. However, even though model generalization issues have been highlighted in many studies, the focus has always been on improving the accuracies of models using different sensing modalities and machine learning techniques, with datasets collected in homogeneous populations. In contrast, less attention has been given to studying the performance of mood inference models to assess whether models generalize to new countries. In this study, we collected a mobile sensing dataset with 329K self-reports from 678 participants in eight countries (China, Denmark, India, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Paraguay, UK) to assess the effect of geographical diversity on mood inference models. We define and evaluate country-specific (trained and tested within a country), continent-specific (trained and tested within a continent), country-agnostic (tested on a country not seen on training data), and multi-country (trained and tested with multiple countries) approaches trained on sensor data for two mood inference tasks with population-level (non-personalized) and hybrid (partially personalized) models. We show that partially personalized country-specific models perform the best yielding area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) scores of the range 0.78-0.98 for two-class (negative vs. positive valence) and 0.76-0.94 for three-class (negative vs. neutral vs. positive valence) inference. Overall, we uncover generalization issues of mood inference models to new countries and how the geographical similarity of countries might impact mood inference.

description: Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ and $Ω$ a finite subset of $D$. McQuillan proved that the ring ${\rm Int}(Ω,D)$ of polynomials in $K[X]$ which are integer-valued over $Ω$, that is, $f\in K[X]$ such that $f(Ω)\subset D$, is a Prüfer domain if and only if $D$ is Prüfer. Under the further assumption that $D$ is integrally closed, we generalize his result by considering a finite set $S$ of a $D$-algebra $A$ which is finitely generated and torsion-free as a $D$-module, and the ring ${\rm Int}_K(S,A)$ of integer-valued polynomials over $S$, that is, polynomials over $K$ whose image over $S$ is contained in $A$. We show that the integral closure of ${\rm Int}_K(S,A)$ is equal to the contraction to $K[X]$ of ${\rm Int}(Ω_S,D_F)$, for some finite subset $Ω_S$ of integral elements over $D$ contained in an algebraic closure $\bar K$ of $K$, where $D_F$ is the integral closure of $D$ in $F=K(Ω_S)$. Moreover, the integral closure of ${\rm Int}_K(S,A)$ is Prüfer if and only if $D$ is Prüfer. The result is obtained by means of the study of pullbacks of the form $D[X]+p(X)K[X]$, where $p(X)$ is a monic non-constant polynomial over $D$: we prove that the integral closure of such a pullback is equal to the ring of polynomials over $K$ which are integral-valued over the set of roots $Ω_p$ of $p(X)$ in $\bar K$.

description: Objective:To test whether substance use mediates the associations between gender-based violence (GBV) and suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and GBV and poor engagement in care, among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in the United States (US).Design:We analyzed longitudinal data collected among 1717 WLHIV in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS).Methods:From 2013 to 2017, WLHIV completed semi-annual assessments on GBV, substance use, and HIV treatment and care. Adjusted multilevel logistic regression models were built to estimate the impact of GBV on; suboptimal (<95%) adherence and at least one missed HIV care appointment without rescheduling in the past 6 months. Mediation analyses were performed to test whether heavy drinking and illicit drug use mediated the associations between GBV and the two HIV outcomes.Results:The mean age was 47 (standard deviation = 9), 5% reported experiencing GBV, 17% reported suboptimal adherence and 15% reported at least one missed appointment in the past 6 months. Women who experienced GBV had a significantly higher odds of suboptimal adherence [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.99; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.40-2.83] and missed appointments (aOR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.32-2.33). Heavy drinking and illicit drug use mediated 36 and 73% of the association between GBV and suboptimal adherence and 29 and 65% of the association between GBV and missed appointments, respectively.Conclusions:Substance use is an underlying mechanism through which GBV affects outcomes along the HIV care continuum among WLHIV in the US. To optimize HIV treatment and care among women, interventions should address the combined epidemics of substance use, violence, and HIV.

Expanding earlier work, we show $ν_2(An+B) \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$ for (A,B) = (36,30), (72,42), (252,114), (196,70), and likely many other progressions for which our method should easily generalize. Of some independent interest, we prove that the overpartition function $\bar{p}(n) \equiv 0 \pmod{16}$ in the first three progressions (the fourth is known), and thereby show that $ν_3(An+B) \equiv 0 \pmod{2}$ in each of these progressions as well, and discuss the relationship between these congruences in more generality. We end with open questions in this area.

non seulement dans le temps, mais aussi en théorie, car pour beaucoup, il 
apporte un certain nombre de solutions aux apories sur le savoir du Théétète.
A cette fin, Platon est amené, au profit de sa critique de la sophistique régnant 
à Athènes, à introduire un certain nombre de notions et de problèmes inédits, 
appelés à structurer toute l’histoire de la métaphysique : les 5 genres de l’être 
(l’être, le mouvement, le repos, l'autre et le même) qui jouent un rôle décisif 
dans la diakósmēsis néo-platonicienne, l’introduction de la négativité dans 
l’ontologie, la naissance de la dialectique dont nous traiterons au second 
semestre. Dans le Sophiste, Platon remet ainsi en cause son ontologie 
primitive des Idées pour lui substituer une théorie de la participation à l’Idée, 
substitution à laquelle contribuent toutes les innovations philosophiques 
citées plus haut. C’est dire qu’on touche là à un dialogue central du 
platonisme et de son histoire.

description: A few lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) models have been recently designed for remote sensing object detection (RSOD). However, most of them simply replace vanilla convolutions with stacked separable convolutions, which may not be efficient due to a lot of precision losses and may not be able to detect oriented bounding boxes (OBB). Also, the existing OBB detection methods are difficult to constrain the shape of objects predicted by CNNs accurately. In this paper, we propose an effective lightweight oriented object detector (LO-Det). Specifically, a channel separation-aggregation (CSA) structure is designed to simplify the complexity of stacked separable convolutions, and a dynamic receptive field (DRF) mechanism is developed to maintain high accuracy by customizing the convolution kernel and its perception range dynamically when reducing the network complexity. The CSA-DRF component optimizes efficiency while maintaining high accuracy. Then, a diagonal support constraint head (DSC-Head) component is designed to detect OBBs and constrain their shapes more accurately and stably. Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that the proposed LO-Det can run very fast even on embedded devices with the competitive accuracy of detecting oriented objects.

description: Background:Fracture rates have been reported to be higher among older women living with HIV (WLWH) than HIV- women. Hormone therapy with estrogen can reduce vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause and prevent fractures. As data are limited on the benefits of hormone therapy use in WLWH, we examined associations of hormone therapy, use and fractures.Methods:A prospective study of 1765 (1350 WLWH and 415 HIV-) postmenopausal Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) participants was performed, including self-reported hormone therapy, use and fracture data from 2003 to 2017. Proportional hazard models determined predictors of new fractures at any site or at typical fragility fracture sites (hip, spine, wrist).Results:At the first postmenopausal visit, the median (IQR) age of WLWH was slightly younger than HIV- women [49.8 (46.4-53) vs. 50.7 (47.5-54), P = 0.0002] and a smaller proportion of WLWH reported presence of VMS (17% vs. 26%, P < 0.0001). A greater proportion of WLWH than HIV- women reported hormone therapy use (8% vs. 4%, P = 0.007) at the first postmenopausal visit. In multivariate analyses, white race and smoking were significant predictors of incident fracture at any site but hormone therapy (P = 0.69) and HIV status (P = 0.53) were not.Conclusion:Our study did not find evidence of benefit or harm with regards to fracture outcomes in postmenopausal WLWH receiving hormone therapy. Further research is needed to determine whether hormone therapy has benefits beyond treatment of VMS, such as prevention of adverse aging-associated outcomes.

title: Exploiting Process Algebras and BPM Techniques for Guaranteeing Success of Distributed Activities
Creators: name: Belluccini, Sara
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2023

description: The communications and collaborations among activities, pro- cesses, or systems, in general, are the base of complex sys- tems defined as distributed systems. Given the increasing complexity of their structure, interactions, and functionali- ties, many research areas are interested in providing mod- elling techniques and verification capabilities to guarantee their correctness and satisfaction of properties. In particular, the formal methods community provides robust verification techniques to prove system properties. However, most ap- proaches rely on manually designed formal models, making the analysis process challenging because it requires an expert in the field. On the other hand, the BPM community pro- vides a widely used graphical notation (i.e., BPMN) to design internal behaviour and interactions of complex distributed systems that can be enhanced with additional features (e.g., privacy technologies). Furthermore, BPM uses process min- ing techniques to automatically discover these models from events observation. However, verifying properties and ex- pected behaviour, especially in collaborations, still needs a solid methodology. This thesis aims at exploiting the features of the formal meth- ods and BPM communities to provide approaches that en- able formal verification over distributed systems. In this con- text, we propose two approaches. The modelling-based ap- proach starts from BPMN models and produces process al- gebra specifications to enable formal verification of system properties, including privacy-related ones. The process mining- based approach starts from logs observations to automati- xv cally generate process algebra specifications to enable veri- fication capabilities.

description: Objective: This study compared the mutation profile and tumor mutational burden (TMB) in women with HIV (WWH) diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma (n = 8) or breast ductal neoplasm (n = 13) who were enrolled into the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). Design: Previous studies tended to focus on single institutions based on sample availability. This study is based on a representative, multicenter cohort that represents the racial and ethnic composition of women with HIV in the United States Methods: The study sequenced the complete human exome of n = 26 cancer samples from HIV-positive women, using Ion torrent next-generation sequencing. The study cohort was compared with a HIV-negative cohort obtained from the Genomic Data Commons Data Portal of the NCI. Results: There were no differences in known cancer mutations between breast cancer and lung cancer that developed in WWH and those that developed in HIV-negative (HIV-) women; however, WWH presented a significantly higher TMB in comparison to HIV- patients. Seventy-five percent of lung cancers and 61% of breast cancers were defined as TMB-high (more than 10 mutation/mb of DNA). Conclusion: This study affirms the recommendation that WWH be included in clinical trials of novel treatments for these cancers. Although these data are preliminary, the high TMB in WLHV suggests, paradoxically, that this immune challenged population may benefit greatly from immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies.

description: In the last few decades, uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods have been used widely to ensure the robustness of engineering designs. This chapter aims to detail recent advances in popular uncertainty quantification methods used in engineering applications. This chapter describes the two most popular meta-modeling methods for uncertainty quantification suitable for engineering applications (Polynomial Chaos Method and Gaussian Process). Further, the UQ methods are applied to an engineering test problem under multiple uncertainties. The test problem considered here is a supersonic nozzle under operational uncertainties. For the deterministic solution, an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver SU2 is used. The UQ methods are developed in Matlab and are further combined with SU2 for the uncertainty and sensitivity estimates. The results are presented in terms of the mean and standard deviation of the output quantities.
Effects of Gapless Bosonic Fluctuations on Majorana Fermions in Atomic Wire Coupled to a Molecular Reservoir

description: We discuss the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations on the Majorana edge states in a topological atomic wire coupled to a superfluid molecular gas with gapless excitations. We find that the coupling between the Majorana edge states remains exponentially decaying with the length of the wire, even at finite temperatures smaller than the energy gap for bulk excitations in the wire. This exponential dependence is controlled solely by the localization length of the Majorana states. The fluctuations, on the other hand, provide the dominant contribution to the preexponential factor, which increases with temperature and the length of the wire. More important is that thermal fluctuations give rise to a decay of an initial correlation between Majorana edge states to its stationary value after some thermalization time. This stationary value is sensitive to the temperature and to the length of the wire, and, although vanishing in the thermodynamic limit, can still be feasible in a mesoscopic system at sufficiently low temperatures. The thermalization time, on the other hand, is found to be much larger than the typical time scales in the wire, and is sufficient for quantum operations with Majorana fermions before the temperature-induced decoherence sets in.

description: Rashba-like spin-orbit interaction at oxide heterostructures emerges as a much sought-after feature in the context of oxide spintronics and spin-orbitronics. KTaO$_3$ (KTO) is one of the best substrates available for the purpose, owing to its strong spin-orbit interaction and alternating $+1|-1$ charged layers along the (001) direction. Employing first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT) and proposing a possible electrostatic model for charge transfer to the surfaces of KTO slabs, we comprehensively analyze Rashba-like spin-orbit interaction with the help of three-dimensional band dispersion, isoenergetic contours, and projected spin textures $-$ all directly obtained from our DFT results $-$ in a thin insulating slab and a conducting thick slab of KTO. Our results reveal reasonably strong linear Rashba interaction with no signature of Dresselhaus or higher order Rashba interactions in the systems considered here. The rigorous analysis presented here may be crucial for future developments in oxide spintronics.

description: Die Analyse sozialer Medien hat eine enorme Bedeutung für die verschiedensten Bereiche, wie beispielsweise die Lagebeurteilung, journalistische Recherchen oder unternehmerische Analysen. Dabei sind die entsprechenden Analysten unterschiedlichen Kontextfaktoren unterworfen. Sei es durch ihren organisationalen Hintergrund, durch tätigkeitsbezogene Rollen oder den geografischen und zeitlichen Rahmen. Um den ständig im Wandel begriffenen Kontexten gerecht zu werden, ergeben sich permanent neue Herausforderungen für die Anpassbarkeit der Analyse. Dieser Beitrag untersucht, wie ein auf Machine Learning (ML) basierendes Tool zur Social Media Analyse (SMA) im Sinne des End-User Development (EUD) auf verschiedenen Komplexitäts- und Schrittebenen umgesetzt werden kann.

description: Durch die Zusammenarbeit von Berufsgenossenschaft, Versicherten und Hochschule konnte in einem Projekt eine Grundlage für die Gefährdungsbeurteilung mit konkreten Anforderungen an die Stirnleuchte für Arbeiten an Fahrleitungen geschaffen werden. Unterstützt wurde die Entwicklung einer Helmleuchte, sodass seit Anfang 2021 eine Leuchte auf dem freien Markt verfügbar ist. Die Ergebnisse des Projektes finden Eingang in die Schrift „Fachbereich AKTUELL“ der BG ETEM mit dem Titel „Arbeiten an Oberleitungsanlagen“ als Erläuterung für die betrieblichen Praktiker zu der Technische Regel für Arbeitsstätten: Beleuchtung ASR A3.4 /1/. Auf der Grundlage einer Analyse typischer Einsatzfelder, Tätigkeiten und Sehbedingungen bei Arbeiten an Oberleitungen, aus messtechnischen Untersuchungen und Laborstudien wurden Mindestanforderungen für geeignete Leuchten abgeleitet. Eine Marktanalyse sowie die Vermessung und Bewertung der lichttechnischen Eigenschaften ausgewählter Stirnleuchten zeigten, dass eine Leuchte, die genau die erforderlichen Eigenschaften besitzt, derzeit auf dem Markt so nicht verfügbar ist. In Zusammenarbeit mit einem Hersteller wurden Musterleuchten nach Vorgaben gefertigt, vermessen, getestet und optimiert. Ein Feldversuch im Praxiseinsatz beim Fahrleitungsbau wies die grundsätzliche Eignung der Musterleuchten nach.

description: Objective: To understand the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and frailty among men (MWH) and women living with HIV (WWH), or at risk for HIV. Design: We considered 10-year coronary heart disease and atherosclerotic CVD risk by Framingham risk score (FRS, 2001 National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Program III) and Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE, 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association) in relation to the Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) and Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). Methods: FFP was ascertained in MACS from 2004 to 2019 and in WIHS from 2005 to 2006 and 2011 – 2019. FFP score at least three of five components defined frailty. Repeated measures logistic regression (both cohorts) and Cox proportional hazards regression (MACS) were performed, controlled for education, income, cholesterol medication and hepatitis C virus serostatus, and among MWH and WWH, CD4þ cell count/ml, antiretroviral therapy, and HIV viral load. Results: There were 5554 participants (1265 HIV seronegative/1396 MWH; 768 seronegative/1924 WWH) included. Among men, high-risk FRS was associated with increased risk of incident frailty among seronegative [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR)) ¼ 2.12, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.22 – 3.69] and MWH (aHR ¼ 2.19, 95% CI: 1.33 – 3.61). Similar associations were seen with high-risk PCE and incident frailty among SN (aHR ¼ 1.88, 95% CI: 1.48 – 2.39) and MWH (aHR ¼ 1.59, 95% CI: 1.26 – 2.00). Among women, high-risk PCE was associated with frailty in SN [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) ¼ 1.43, 95% CI: 1.02 – 2.00] and WWH (aOR ¼ 1.36, 95% CI: 1.08 – 1.71); however, high-risk FRS was not (seronegative: aOR ¼ 1.03, 95% CI: 0.30 – 3.49; WWH: aOR ¼ 0.86, 95% CI: 0.23 – 3.20). Conclusion: Higher CVD risk was associated with increased frailty regardless of HIV serostatus among men and women. These findings may inform clinical practices of screening for frailty.

description: Recent increases in computing power have enabled the numerical simulation of many complex flow problems that are of practical and strategic interest for naval applications. A noticeable area of advancement is the computation of turbulent, two-phase flows resulting from wave breaking and other multiphase flow processes such as cavitation that can generate underwater sound and entrain bubbles in ship wakes, among other effects. Although advanced flow solvers are sophisticated and are capable of simulating high Reynolds number flows on large numbers of grid points, challenges in data analysis remain. Specifically, there is a critical need to transform highly resolved flow fields described on fine grids at discrete time steps into physically resolved features for which the flow dynamics can be understood and utilized in naval applications. This paper presents our recent efforts in this field. In previous works, we developed a novel algorithm to track bubbles in breaking wave simulations and to interpret their dynamical behavior over time (Gao et al., 2021a). We also discovered a new physical mechanism driving bubble production within breaking wave crests (Gao et al., 2021b) and developed a model to relate bubble behaviors to underwater sound generation (Gao et al., 2021c). In this work, we applied our bubble tracking algorithm to the breaking waves simulations and investigated the bubble trajectories, bubble creation mechanisms, and bubble acoustics based on our previous works.

description: Background Current literature reports a gap between development of efective interventions to promote physical activity and the systematic uptake into real-world settings. Factors relating to implementation and scale-up of physical activity interventions have been examined, however the perspectives of multiple stakeholders from diferent domains are not well researched. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived factors related to physical activity intervention implementation and scale-up in diferent domains from diferent stakeholders on the island of Ireland.Methods Practitioners, researchers, funders and policy makers in Ireland were invited to take part in a semi-structured interview exploring factors related to the implementation and scale-up of eleven diferent physical activity interventions. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify factors related to the implementation and scale-up of the included interventions. The data collection and analysis were guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.Results Thirty-eight participants took part in the interviews which identifed factors related to 1) intervention planning and practical considerations; 2) organisational structures, stafng and resources related to delivery; 3) refection, evaluation and updating of the intervention; and 4) practical consideration related to scale-up. Furthermore, participants referred to the ongoing commitment, engagement, and support needed throughout the implementation process.Conclusions Future research and practice needs to consider how diferent factors are experienced at diferent implementation stages and by the diferent stakeholder groups involved. The fndings highlight multiple inter-related factors that infuence the implementation and scale-up of physical activity interventions, but also identifes many strategies that can be utilised to aid future successes.
The Quantum Geometric Tensor in a Parameter Dependent Curved Space

description: We introduce a quantum geometric tensor in a curved space with a parameter-dependent metric, which contains the quantum metric tensor as the symmetric part and the Berry curvature corresponding to the antisymmetric part. This parameter-dependent metric modifies the usual inner product, which induces modifications in the quantum metric tensor and Berry curvature by adding terms proportional to the derivatives with respect to the parameters of the determinant of the metric. The quantum metric tensor is obtained in two ways: By using the definition of the infinitesimal distance between two states in the parameter-dependent curved space and via the fidelity susceptibility approach. The usual Berry connection acquires an additional term with which the curved inner product converts the Berry connection into an object that transforms as a connection and density of weight one. Finally, we provide three examples in one dimension with a nontrivial metric: an anharmonic oscillator, a Morse-like potential, and a generalized anharmonic oscillator; and one in two dimensions: the coupled anharmonic oscillator in a curved space.

description: Neurologic complications of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are common in treated individuals, and toxicity of certain antiretroviral therapies (ART) may contribute to cognitive impairment. We investigated exposures to specific ART and cognition among women living with HIV (WLWH). Virologically suppressed (viral load <200 copies/mL during at least two semi-annual visits) WLWH and age/race matched HIV-seronegative controls enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study who completed at least two biennial cognitive assessments were included. Analysis of WLWH was restricted to those with exposure to the drug class of interest and a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate repeated measures of cognition over time in association with ART class exposure. Among 1,242 eligible WLWH, 20% (n = 247) had isolated drug exposure to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), 18% (n = 219) to protease inhibitors (PIs), and 6% (n = 79) to integrase inhibitors with a NRTI backbone. Cognitive assessments were performed at a median of 3 biennial visits {IQR 2-4 visits}. At the index assessment, 21% of WLWH demonstrated global cognitive impairment versus 29% at their last cognitive assessment. In multivariable analyses adjusted for hypertension, depression, diabetes mellitus, history of AIDS-defining illness, alcohol use, number of medications, and time on ART, WLWH exposed to NNRTIs demonstrated verbal learning improvements (mean T-score change 1.3, p = .020) compared to other treated women. Compared to HIV-seronegative women, WLWH exposed to PIs had worse verbal learning (mean T-score difference -2.62, p = .002) and verbal memory performance (mean T-score difference -1.74, p = .032) at baseline. Compared to HIV-seronegative women, WLWH exposed to PIs had improvements in verbal learning (mean T-score slope difference 0.36, p = .025) and verbal memory (mean T-score slope difference 0.32, p = .042). The index T-score and slope of change in the T-score were similar among other treated groups and the HIV-seronegative group. We noted emerging trends in cognition in WLWH exposed to specific drug classes. Ongoing study of this relatively young group is important to characterize long-term cognitive outcomes and effect of antiretrovirals as treatment guidelines evolve.

description: The robustness and accuracy of a vision system for motion estimation of a tumbling target satellite are enhanced by an adaptive Kalman filter. This allows a vision-guided robot to complete the grasping of the target even if occlusion occurs during the operation. A complete dynamics model, including aspects of orbital mechanics, is incorporated for accurate estimation. Based on the model, an adaptive Kalman filter is developed that estimates not only the system states but also all the model parameters such as the inertia ratio, center-of-mass, and the rotation of the principal axes of the target satellite. An experiment is conducted by using a robotic arm to move a satellite mockup according to orbital mechanics while the satellite pose is measured by a laser camera system. The measurements are sent to the Kalman filter, which, in turn, drives another robotic arm to grasp the target. The results demonstrate successful grasping even if the vision system is blocked for several seconds.
