description: Background: A growing body of evidence has highlighted the significant relationship between social anxiety disorder and hazardous alcohol consumption, harmful use, and alcohol use disorder. This relationship may influence the reporting of fear and avoidance of social or performance situations on common self-report measures among individuals with hazardous alcohol use or dependence. Method: The current study utilized modern psychometric methods, namely Item Response Theory (IRT) and Differential Item Functioning (DIF), in an online sample of Australian adults (n = 1052) to examine the potential under- or over-reporting of items on the Social Interaction Anxiety and Social Phobia Scales (SIAS/SPS) by groups of alcohol users (as measured by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), while controlling for underlying levels of social anxiety severity. Results: The results indicated that there were no items on the SIAS/SPS that exhibited significant (p R2 across nested models >0.05) attributable to either hazardous consumption or symptoms of alcohol dependence. Moreover, the combined effect of multiple items that demonstrated significant (but non-meaningful) DIF on total SIAS scores relative to scores that assume no DIF between alcohol using groups was minimal. Conclusions: This study suggests that different rates of social anxiety across levels of alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence may not be the result of a systematic under- or over-reporting of certain items on the SIAS and SPS, and as such total social anxiety scores can be compared regardless of the level of alcohol use or dependence symptoms.

description: Introduction: Premature drop-out and lack of success from alcohol treatment is common. Within recent years, Shared Decision Making (SDM) has gained increased attention in treatment planning in health care. Results from research in SDM in addiction treatment points in different directions, hence this review focuses on alcohol addiction only. Furthermore, studies on Informed Choice is included in this review. The objective is to measure outcome results on the following four measures: (1) drinking outcome, (2) quality of life, (3) enrollment, and (4) adherence. Method: MEDLINE, PubMed and PsychInfo databases were searched. Studies included were RCT or Quasi-RCT measuring SDM or informed choice in treatment planning in alcohol addiction. The PRISMA guidelines was followed. Two researchers measured the quality of the studies. If disagreement could not be resolved by discussion, a third researcher was consulted. Results: 1203 studies were identified. Thirteen met the inclusion criteria, of which 7 were excluded. The remaining 6 studies were too heterogeneous to perform a meta-analysis, resulting in a narrative discussion of results. Discussion: The inadequate evidence limits the conclusions on our four objectives. (1) Drinking outcome, it seems that patient involvement in treatment planning does not have an effect. (2) Quality of life might be improved. (3) Enrollment might be increased. (4) Adherence was improved. Conclusion: Very few studies have been performed in this field; hence, no clear recommendation can be given to clinical practice at this point. PROSPERO Registration code: CRD42019124794

description: Understanding how obligate freshwater organisms colonize seemingly isolated ecosystems has long fascinated ecologists. While recent investigations reveal that fish eggs can survive the digestive tract of birds and successfully hatch once deposited, evidence for avian zoochory in natura is still lacking. Here, we used a ‘multiple lines and levels of evidence’ approach to demonstrate possible bird-mediated colonization of lakes by the European perch (Perca fluviatilis). We studied a set of newly-formed and isolated artificial lakes that the public is either prohibited to access because of gravel extraction or allowed to access (mainly for angling). The motivating observation is that a large proportion of prohibited-access lakes (greater than 80%) were colonized by European perch even though stocking by anglers and managers never occurred. Three supplementary lines of evidence supported avian zoochory. First, European perch spawning occurs when waterfowl abundance is very high. Second, European perch lays sticky eggs at shallow depths where they can be eaten by waterfowl or attached to their bodies. Third, genetic analyses suggested that European perch actually migrate among lakes, and that distances moved match with daily flight range of foraging waterfowl. Together, multiple lines of evidence point to avian zoochory as a probable pathway for fish colonizing remote or newly-formed freshwater ecosystems.

description: Litter decomposition, a key process by which recently fixed carbon is lost from ecosystems, is a function of environmental conditions and plant community characteristics. In ice-rich peatlands, permafrost thaw introduces high variability in both abiotic and biotic factors, both of which may affect litter decomposition rates in different ways. Can the existing conceptual frameworks of litter decomposition and its controls be applied across a structurally heterogeneous thaw gradient? We investigated the variability in litter decomposition and its predictors at the Stordalen subarctic peatland in northern Sweden. We measured in situ decomposition of representative litter and environments using litter bags throughout two years. We found highly variable litter decomposition rates with turnover times ranging from five months to four years. Surface elevation was a strong correlate of litter decomposition across the landscape, likely as it integrates multiple environmental and plant community changes brought about by thaw. There was faster decomposition but also more mass remaining after two years in thawed areas relative to permafrost areas, suggesting faster initial loss of carbon but more storage into the slow-decomposing carbon pool. Our results highlight mechanisms and predictors of carbon cycle changes in ice-rich peatlands following permafrost thaw.

description: The objective was to examine whether the 13-item Sense of coherence scale (SOC-13) can be reported as a unidimensional interval-scale metric, when new approaches based on the Rasch model to address local item dependency are applied, and to determine whether an interval-scale scoring can be made available. Data were derived from two samples of patients with hand-related disorders (merged n = 915). Rasch analyses of the SOC data were conducted using item-level analysis and a testlet approach. Initial item-level analysis of the SOC-13 confirmed previous findings of misfit to the Rasch model. In resolving local dependency by constructing three testlets, which corresponded to the three components of the SOC construct, fit to the Rasch model (χ2(df) = 43.11 (27), p = 0.163) and unidimensionality of the SOC-13 could be established. A transformation table was successfully created to convert the SOC-13 raw ordinal score to corresponding Rasch interval-scaled values. The results of this study indicate that data obtained by the SOC-13 can be regarded as essentially unidimensional, and an interval-scale transformation table of the SOC-13 total scores was developed, for use in clinical practice and research on coping resources in patients with hand-related disorders. The 13-item Sense of coherence scale (SOC-13) comprises three complexly interrelated componentsTo assess coping resources in patients with hand-related disorders, an interval-scale transformation table of the SOC-13 total scores can be used The 13-item Sense of coherence scale (SOC-13) comprises three complexly interrelated components To assess coping resources in patients with hand-related disorders, an interval-scale transformation table of the SOC-13 total scores can be used

description: A concise review is given of astrophysically motivated experimental and theoretical research on Taylor-Couette flow. The flows of interest rotate differentially with inner cylinder faster than outer one but are linearly stable against Rayleigh's inviscid centrifugal instability. At shear Reynolds numbers as large as 10^6, hydrodynamic flows of this type (quasi-keplerian) appear to be nonlinearly stable: no turbulence is seen that cannot be attributed to interaction with the axial boundaries, rather than the radial shear itself. Direct numerical simulations agree, although they cannot yet reach such high Reynolds numbers. This result indicates that accretion-disc turbulence is not purely hydrodynamic in origin, at least insofar as it is driven by radial shear. Theory, however, predicts linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities in astrophysical discs: in particular, the standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI). MHD Taylor-Couette experiments aimed at SMRI are challenged by the low magnetic Prandtl numbers of liquid metals. High fluid Reynolds numbers and careful control of the axial boundaries are required. The quest for laboratory SMRI has been rewarded with the discovery of some interesting inductionless cousins of SMRI, and the recently reported success in demonstrating SMRI itself by taking advantage of conducting axial boundaries. Some outstanding questions and near-future prospects are discussed, especially in connection with astrophysics.

description: The systematic review aimed to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on the lower extremity kinetics and kinematics after a musculoskeletal disorder. Randomized controlled studies reported kinetic or kinematic outcomes (such as joint moment force or angular displacement) in the lower extremity with musculoskeletal disorders were included. A systematic literature search of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EBSCO, and PEDro databases was performed up to 28 February 2021. Meta-analysis was performed, when possible, by using mean difference (MD) and standard mean difference (SMD). Ten randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. The results of a meta-analysis based on included studies show that the use of kinesio taping has similar effects on the kinetics of the lower extremities with musculoskeletal disorders or the control group. These effects do not change between 0 and 24 h, 1 and 15 days, and 15 and 30 days (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI −0.30 to 0.31, p = 0.21). This study provides insufficient evidence to prove the effect of kinesio taping on lower extremity kinetics and kinematics on patients with musculoskeletal disorders in shorter and longer terms. Methodologically well-designed studies are needed to show the effectiveness of kinesio tape on lower extremity kinetics and kinematics after a musculoskeletal disorder in short and longer terms.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe present evidence does not support the effects of Kinesio tape on lower extremity kinetics in patients with a musculoskeletal pathologyMore evidenced based studies are still needed to show the effects of kinesio taping on lower extremity kinetics in patients with a musculoskeletal pathologyThis meta-analysis demonstrated that kinesio taping had no effect for up to 30 days within the scope of the results obtained from the studies, except for the immediate effect of the application.

description: The form factor that yields the light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment is computed in lattice QCD+QED and QED. A non-perturbative treatment of QED is used and is checked against perturbation theory. The hadronic contribution is calculated for unphysical quark and muon masses, and only the diagram with a single quark loop is computed. Statistically significant signals are obtained. Initial results appear promising, and the prospect for a complete calculation with physical masses and controlled errors is discussed.

description: The optical morphology of galaxies is strongly related to galactic environment, with the fraction of early-type galaxies increasing with local galaxy density. In this work we present the first analysis of the galaxy morphology-density relation in a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We use a convolutional neural network, trained on observed galaxies, to perform visual morphological classification of galaxies with stellar masses $M_\ast > 10^{10} \, \mathrm{M}_\odot$ in the EAGLE simulation into elliptical, lenticular and late-type (spiral/irregular) classes. We find that EAGLE reproduces both the galaxy morphology-density and morphology-mass relations. Using the simulations, we find three key processes that result in the observed morphology-density relation: (i) transformation of disc-dominated galaxies from late-type (spiral) to lenticular galaxies through gas stripping in high-density environments, (ii) formation of lenticular galaxies by merger-induced black hole feedback in low-density environments, and (iii) an increasing fraction of high-mass galaxies, which are more often elliptical galaxies, at higher galactic densities.

description: Rapid climate change in the Arctic may increase sexual reproduction in plants because of changes in both abiotic factors, such as temperature, and biotic factors, such as pollination. Pollination may currently limit plant reproduction in the Arctic, where cold temperatures hinder pollinator activity. To understand how warming may affect pollination and plant reproduction, we studied three plant species in western Greenland. Two species were hermaphroditic and insect-pollinated (Vaccinium uliginosum and Chamerion latifolium), and one was dioecious and insect- and wind-pollinated (Salix glauca). We measured how pollinator visitation and plant reproduction varied across three temperature zones. We also conducted pollinator exclusion and pollen supplementation experiments to measure pollinator dependence and pollen limitation. Proportion of fruit set in Vaccinium and Salix was pollen limited in every temperature zone, and Vaccinium and Chamerion depended on pollinator-mediated outcrossing for maximum reproductive success. Furthermore, higher pollinator visitation to Vaccinium in the warmer temperature zones mirrored lower pollen limitation and higher fruit set, suggesting that temperature zone indirectly influenced reproduction via changes in pollination. Taken together, our results demonstrate that both abiotic factors and pollination are important in limiting reproduction in the Arctic and that plant–pollinator interactions can mediate the response of plant reproduction to warming.

description: Optical rogue waves are rare yet extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The terminology was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse propagation in optical fibre and wave group propagation on deep water, but has since been generalized to describe many other processes in optics. This paper provides an overview of this field, concentrating primarily on propagation in optical fibre systems that exhibit nonlinear breather and soliton dynamics, but also discussing other optical systems where extreme events have been reported. Although statistical features such as long-tailed probability distributions are often considered the defining feature of rogue waves, we emphasise the underlying physical processes that drive the appearance of extreme optical structures.

description: Scientific applications have long embraced the MPI as the environment of choice to execute on large distributed systems. The User-Level Failure Mitigation (ULFM) specification extends the MPI standard to address resilience and enable MPI applications to restore their communication capability after a failure. This works builds upon the wide body of experience gained in the field to eliminate a gap between current practice and the ideal, more asynchronous, recovery model in which the fault tolerance activities of multiple components can be carried out simultaneously and overlap. This work proposes to: (1) provide the required consistency in fault reporting to applications (i.e., enable an application to assess the success of a computational phase without incurring an unacceptable performance hit); (2) bring forward the building blocks that permit the effective scoping of fault recovery in an application, so that independent components in an application can recover without interfering with each other, and separate groups of processes in the application can recover independently or in unison; and (3) overlap recovery activities necessary to restore the consistency of the system (e.g., eviction of faulty processes from the communication group) with application recovery activities (e.g., dataset restoration from checkpoints).

description: We address the double bubble problem for the anisotropic Grushin perimeter $P_α$, $α\geq 0$, and the Lebesgue measure in $\mathbb R^2$, in the case of two equal volumes. We assume that the contact interface between the bubbles lays on either the vertical or the horizontal axis. Since no regularity theory is available in this setting, in both cases we first prove existence of minimizers via the direct method by symmetrization arguments and then characterize them in terms of the given area by first variation techniques. Angles at which minimal boundaries intersect satisfy the standard 120-degree rule up to a suitable change of coordinates. While for $α=0$ the Grushin perimeter reduces to the Euclidean one and both minimizers coincide with the symmetric double bubble found in [Foisy et al., Pacific J. Math. (1993)], for $α=1$ vertical interface minimizers have Grushin perimeter strictly greater than horizontal interface minimizers. As the latter ones are obtained by translating and dilating the Grushin isoperimetric set found in [Monti Morbidelli, J. Geom. Anal. (2004)], we conjecture that they solve the double bubble problem with no assumptions on the contact interface.

description: Stable isotope compositions of organic carbon (δ13Corg) and nitrogen (δ15N) in macrophytes and sediments are useful in assessing sources of lake productivity and diagenesis of organic matter from formation through sedimentation to decomposition. Despite the increasing importance of high-latitude landscapes to carbon cycling under amplified and accelerating warming in the Arctic, the high density of small closed-basin lakes in this landscape, and the utility of stable isotopes in the study of carbon dynamics, limited data are available on within-lake spatial variability of δ13Corg and δ15N in these systems. The goal of this study was to investigate the spatial variability in stable isotopic composition of three dominant macrophyte species (Hippuris vulgaris, Eriophorum angustifolium, Warnstorfia exannulata) and sediments from littoral and profundal areas of a single closed-basin system among the common small Arctic lakes that populate the ice-free margin of Greenland. The range in δ13Corg of macrophytes (−33.9‰ to −27.1‰) was within the typical range of plants utilizing the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. No notable differences were observed in δ13Corg between segments of the individual macrophytes (emergent, submergent, and root tissues), indicating that the isotopic fractionation of carbon was similar throughout the plant. Between-species variations in δ13Corg were small, but significant (p 13C. The range of δ15N in littoral and profundal sediments (−0.52‰ to 1.33‰) was small, with littoral surface sediments 1‰ less enriched in 15N than surface sediments in the profundal zone. The C/N ratios of macrophytes (mean ± SD: 27.0 ± 12.6), littoral sediments (mean ± SD: 11.0 ± 1.0), and profundal sediments (mean ± SD: 9.1 ± 0.9) point to diagenetic alteration. Combined isotopic and elemental (C/N) compositions of littoral and profundal sediments suggest that organic matter accumulating in the study lake originate primarily from in-lake primary production of macrophytes. Terrestrial sources are likely minor because of the hydrologically closed basin and limited aeolian inputs, suggesting that the majority of organic matter produced by the dominant littoral macrophyte community was decomposed between production and sediment deposition.

description: We present a data compression and dimensionality reduction scheme for data fusion and aggregation applications to prevent data congestion and reduce energy consumption at network connecting points such as cluster heads and gateways. Our in-network approach can be easily tuned to analyze the data temporal or spatial correlation using an unsupervised neural network scheme, namely the autoencoders. In particular, our algorithm extracts intrinsic data features from previously collected historical samples to transform the raw data into a low dimensional representation. Moreover, the proposed framework provides an error bound guarantee mechanism. We evaluate the proposed solution using real-world data sets and compare it with traditional methods for temporal and spatial data compression. The experimental validation reveals that our approach outperforms several existing wireless sensor network's data compression methods in terms of compression efficiency and signal reconstruction.

Duality between Lagrangian and Legendrian invariants

description: Consider a pair $(X,L)$, of a Weinstein manifold $X$ with an exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$, with ideal contact boundary $(Y,Λ)$, where $Y$ is a contact manifold and $Λ\subset Y$ is a Legendrian submanifold. We introduce the Chekanov-Eliashberg DG-algebra, $CE^{\ast}(Λ)$, with coefficients in chains of the based loop space of $Λ$ and study its relation to the Floer cohomology $CF^{\ast}(L)$ of $L$. Using the augmentation induced by $L$, $CE^{\ast}(Λ)$ can be expressed as the Adams cobar construction $Ω$ applied to a Legendrian coalgebra, $LC_{\ast}(Λ)$. We define a twisting cochain:\[\mathfrak{t} \colon LC_{\ast}(Λ) \to \mathrm{B} (CF^*(L))^\#\]via holomorphic curve counts, where $\mathrm{B}$ denotes the bar construction and $\#$ the graded linear dual. We show under simply-connectedness assumptions that the corresponding Koszul complex is acyclic which then implies that $CE^*(Λ)$ and $CF^{\ast}(L)$ are Koszul dual. In particular, $\mathfrak{t}$ induces a quasi-isomorphism between $CE^*(Λ)$ and the cobar of the Floer homology of $L$, $ΩCF_*(L)$. We use the duality result to show that under certain connectivity and locally finiteness assumptions, $CE^*(Λ)$ is quasi-isomorphic to $C_{-*}(ΩL)$ for any Lagrangian filling $L$ of $Λ$. Our constructions have interpretations in terms of wrapped Floer cohomology after versions of Lagrangian handle attachments. In particular, we outline a proof that $CE^{\ast}(Λ)$ is quasi-isomorphic to the wrapped Floer cohomology of a fiber disk $C$ in the Weinstein domain obtained by attaching $T^{\ast}(Λ\times[0,\infty))$ to $X$ along $Λ$ (or, in the terminology of arXiv:1604.02540 the wrapped Floer cohomology of $C$ in $X$ with wrapping stopped by $Λ$). Along the way, we give a definition of wrapped Floer cohomology without Hamiltonian perturbations.

description: We prove the correspondence between the solutions of the sub-elliptic heat equation in a Carnot group $\mathbb{G}$ and the gradient flows of the relative entropy functional in the Wasserstein space of probability measures on $\mathbb{G}$. Our result completely answers a question left open in a previous paper by N. Juillet, where the same correspondence was proved for $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{H}^n$, the $n$-dimensional Heisenberg group.

Separatrix splitting at a Hamiltonian $0^2 iω$ bifurcation

description: We discuss the splitting of a separatrix in a generic unfolding of a degenerate equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom. We assume that the unperturbed fixed point has two purely imaginary eigenvalues and a double zero one. It is well known that an one-parametric unfolding of the corresponding Hamiltonian can be described by an integrable normal form. The normal form has a normally elliptic invariant manifold of dimension two. On this manifold, the truncated normal form has a separatrix loop. This loop shrinks to a point when the unfolding parameter vanishes. Unlike the normal form, in the original system the stable and unstable trajectories of the equilibrium do not coincide in general. The splitting of this loop is exponentially small compared to the small parameter. This phenomenon implies non-existence of single-round homoclinic orbits and divergence of series in the normal form theory. We derive an asymptotic expression for the separatrix splitting. We also discuss relations with behaviour of analytic continuation of the system in a complex neighbourhood of the equilibrium.

description: Io's intense volcanic activity results in one of the most colorful surfaces in the solar system. Ultraviolet and visible-wavelength observations of Io are critical to uncovering the chemistry behind its volcanic hues. Here, we present global, spatially resolved UV-visible spectra of Io from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which bridge the gap between previous highly resolved imagery and disk-integrated spectroscopy, to provide an unprecedented combination of spatial and spectral detail. We use this comprehensive dataset to investigate spectral endmembers, map observed spectral features associated with SO$_2$ frost and other sulfur species, and explore possible compositions in the context of Io surface processes. In agreement with past observations, our results are consistent with extensive equatorial SO$_2$ frost deposits that are stable over multi-decade timescales, widespread sulfur-rich plains surrounding the SO$_2$ deposits, and the enrichment of Pele's pyroclastic ring and the high-latitude regions in metastable short-chain sulfur allotropes.

description: In this note, we give a new characterisation of Sobolev $W^{1,1}$ functions among $BV$ functions via Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. Exploiting some ideas coming from the proof of this result, we are also able to give a new characterisation of absolutely continuous measures via a weakened version of Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. Finally, we show that the approach adopted in [Crippa and De Lellis, J. Reine Angew. Math. (2008)] and [Jabin, J. Math. Pures Appl. (2010)] to establish existence and uniqueness of regular Lagrangian flows associated to Sobolev vector fields cannot be further extended to the case of $BV$ vector fields.
