description: The current study of Black patients focuses on how discrimination contributes to racial disparities in health. The authors used a longitudinal methodology to study how perceived past discrimination affects reactions to medical interactions and adherence to physician recommendations. In addition, they explored whether these reactions and/or adherence mediate the relationship between discrimination and patients' health. The participants in this study were 156 Black patients of low socioeconomic status at a primary care clinic. Patients completed questionnaires on their current health, past adherence, and perceived past discrimination. Then, they saw a physician and rated their reactions to the visit. Four and 16 weeks later they reported on their adherence to physician recommendations and overall health. Perceived discrimination was significantly and negatively associated with patient health, reactions to the physician, and adherence. Path analyses indicated that adherence mediated the relationship between discrimination and patient health, but patient reactions to the interaction did not.

description: Inequivalent N=2 supersymmetrizations of the l-conformal Galilei algebra in d-spatial dimensions are constructed from the chiral (2,2) and the real (1,2,1) basic supermultiplets of the N=2 supersymmetry. For non-negative integer and half-integer l both superalgebras admit a consistent truncation with a (different) finite number of generators. The real N=2 case coincides with the superalgebra introduced by Masterov, while the chiral N=2 case is a new superalgebra. We present D-module representations of both superalgebras. Then we investigate the new superalgebra derived from the chiral supermultiplet. It is shown that it admits two types of central extensions, one is found for any d and half-integer l and the other only for d=2 and integer l. For each central extension the centrally extended l-superconformal Galilei algebra is realized in terms of its super-Heisenberg subalgebra generators.

We investigate effects of various gluoni potentials on the deconfinement transition with and without a fermionic backreaction at finite $B$. Additionally we investigate the effect of the Polyakov loop on the chiral phase transition, finding that magnetic catalysis at low $μ_B$ is present, but weakened by the Polyakov loop.

description: Vision-language pre-training (VLP) on large-scale datasets has shown premier performance on various downstream tasks. In contrast to plenty of available benchmarks with English corpus, large-scale pre-training datasets and downstream datasets with Chinese corpus remain largely unexplored. In this work, we build a large-scale high-quality Chinese Cross-Modal Benchmark named CCMB for the research community, which contains the currently largest public pre-training dataset Zero and five human-annotated fine-tuning datasets for downstream tasks. Zero contains 250 million images paired with 750 million text descriptions, plus two of the five fine-tuning datasets are also currently the largest ones for Chinese cross-modal downstream tasks. Along with the CCMB, we also develop a VLP framework named R2D2, applying a pre-Ranking + Ranking strategy to learn powerful vision-language representations and a two-way distillation method (i.e., target-guided Distillation and feature-guided Distillation) to further enhance the learning capability. With the Zero and the R2D2 VLP framework, we achieve state-of-the-art performance on twelve downstream datasets from five broad categories of tasks including image-text retrieval, image-text matching, image caption, text-to-image generation, and zero-shot image classification. The datasets, models, and codes are available at https://github.com/yuxie11/R2D2

description: Objectives
Non-fatal overdose remains a significant source of morbidity among people who inject drugs (IDU). Although depression and social support are important in shaping the health of IDU, little is known about the relationship between these factors and overdose. Therefore, we sought to determine whether depressive symptoms and social support predicted non-fatal overdose among IDU in a Canadian setting.

Methods
Data were derived from three prospective cohorts of people who use drugs: the Vancouver Injection Drug Users Study (VIDUS), the ACCESS Cohort, and the At-Risk Youth Study (ARYS). Multilevel modeling was used to determine if depression and social support were significant predictors of non-fatal overdose across time. Analyses were stratified by sex.

Results
There were 1931 participants included in this analysis, including 653 (33.8%) females and 69 (3.6%) youth 20 years old or younger. Depressed men (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.53, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.25, 1.87) and women (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.23, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.65, 3.00) were more likely to experience a non-fatal overdose. Further, among women, those who reported having 3 or more persons they could rely upon for social support were less likely to experience a non-fatal overdose (AOR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.31, 0.93).

Conclusion
Although depression was a significant predictor of non-fatal drug overdose, social support was a significant predictor among women only. Possible strategies to prevent non-fatal overdose may include identifying IDU experiencing severe depressive symptoms and providing targeted mental health treatments and mobilizing interpersonal social support among IDU, especially among women.

description: Cocrystals have attracted much interest in recent years. It was once thought that cocrystals could be a means to prevent polymorphism but many recent examples of cocrystal polymorphism have been discovered and reported. In this contribution, we present a survey of polymorphic cocrystals. Polymorphism is the ability of a specific chemical compound to crystallize in more than one crystalline form. Polymorphs have different arrangements of the molecules in the given crystal lattice and may exhibit different characteristics such as packing properties, thermodynamic properties, spectroscopic properties, kinetic properties, surface properties, and mechanical properties. Polymorphs can be classified in various groups such as crystalline, amorphous, hydrates, and solvates. The main characterization methods used in this thesis are X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The concept of variable stoichiometry cocrystallization is explored in halogen-bonded systems. Three novel cocrystals of 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene and 3-nitropyridine with molar ratios of 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2, respectively, are prepared by slow evaporation methods. Powder X-ray diffraction experiments carried out on the 1:1 and 2:1 cocrystals confirm that gentle grinding does not alter the crystal forms. 1H → 13C and 19F →13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR experiments performed on powdered samples of the 1:1 and 2:1 cocrystals are used as spectral editing tools to select for either the halogen bond acceptor or donor, respectively. I also describe the formation of a new cocrystal of 1, 3, 5-trifluoro-2, 4, 6-triiodobenzene and piperazine with a 2:1 molar ratio that was prepared by the slow evaporation method. In addition of that, I have prepared the cocrystal (1,4- VII diiodotetrafluorobenzene)(coumarin ) already reported. After preparation and purification process of this compound, I obtained a small amount powder, but could not characterize it by solid-state NMR; rather I performed powder X-ray diffraction to study this compound. Overall, this work contributes new examples to the field of polymorphism in halogen-bonded systems and to variable stoichiometry cocrystal engineering with halogen bonds.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: This study investigates the degree to which population change and other characteristics of U.S. counties can be used to explain county-to-county and metro-nonmetro differences in housing quality. Stepwise multiple regression analysis is used. During the 1960's, the greatest drop in occupancy of homes lacking complete plumbing facilities was in nonmetro counties experiencing rapid population declines. However, measures of a county's housing quality--plumbing, crowding, value, rent, and tenure--were more closely tied to per capita income than to population change. County characteristics, including population change, were able to explain most of the metro-nonmetro differences in quality measures

description: Given a real closed field $R$, we identify exactly four proper reducts of $R$ which expand the underlying (unordered) $R$-vector space structure. Towards this theorem we introduce a new notion, of strongly bounded reducts of linearly ordered structures: A reduct $\mathcal M$ of a linearly ordered structure $\langle R;<,\cdots\rangle $ is called \emph{strongly bounded} if every $\mathcal M$-definable subset of $R$ is either bounded or co-bounded in $R$. We investigate strongly bounded additive reducts of o-minimal structures and as a corollary prove the above theorem on additive reducts of real closed fields.

description: Newer nitrogen fertilizer firms--those built since 1963--are larger, use less electricity, and can operate more efficiently than older, smaller firms. Regardless of age or size, all firms are affected by the availability of natural gas. Many newer firms use intrastate gas, for while it is more expensive than interstate gas, supplies are more certain. Due in part to gas curtailments, and also to seasonal demands, terminal storage capacities close to the areas of consumption are now in use. Trucks, barges, and particularly pipelines are becoming major alternatives to railcars for the shipment of products.

This sharpens a result obtained by J. J. Kohn in 1979.

description: Some sigma models which admit a theta angle are integrable at both $\vartheta=0$ and $\vartheta=π$. This includes the well-known $O(3)$ sigma model and two families of coset sigma models studied by Fendley. We consider the ground state energy of these models in the presence of a magnetic field, which can be computed with the Bethe ansatz. We obtain explicit results for its non-perturbative corrections and we study the effect of the theta angle on them. We show that imaginary, exponentially small corrections due to renormalons remain unchanged, while instanton corrections change sign, as expected. We find in addition corrections due to renormalons which also change sign as we turn on the theta angle. Based on these results we present an explicit non-perturbative formula for the topological susceptibility of the $O(3)$ sigma model in the presence of a magnetic field, in the weak coupling limit.

description: In this letter, we study proper time Lyapunov exponents and coordinate time Lyapunov exponents of chaos for both massless and massive particles orbiting a four-dimensional Kerr-AdS black hole, and explore their relationships with the phase transition of this black hole. The result reveals that both types of Lyapunov exponents can reflect the occurrence of the phase transition. Specifically, when compared to the proper time and coordinate time Lyapunov exponents of massive particles in chaotic states, the exponents corresponding to massless particles demonstrate a more robust capability in describing the phase transition. Furthermore, we conduct a study on critical exponents associated with these Lyapunov exponents in this black hole, identifying a critical exponent value of 1/2.

description: The farm-retail price spread is the difference between the price paid for a food product by consumers and the payment that farmers receive for an equivalent quantity of farm product. It measures the costs of assembling, transporting, processing, and retailing food products. The cost of these functions and of various inputs, such as labor and packaging, varied widely in 1975 for 16 products studied. Costs of assembling products from farmers accounted for only 2 to 3 percent of the retail price of most products. Processing costs made up about a third of the retail price of canned tomatoes, margarine, and bread, but less than 15 percent of the price of beef, pork, broilers, eggs, and milk—products that are changed relatively little after they leave the farm. Labor and packaging costs accounted for half or more of the processing costs for most products. Food transportation costs were highest for fresh fruits and vegetables. Costs of wholesaling, consisting of warehousing and local delivery, ranged between 5 and 8 percent of the retail price of the items studied. Retailing costs accounted for less than 25 percent of the retail price for all items except fresh oranges, potatoes, and lettuce. Labor costs made up about half of the retailing costs, while rent accounted for around 7 percent.

description: Web accessibility is actually the most important aspect for providing access to information and interaction for people with disabilities. However, it seems that the ability of users with disabilities to navigate over the Web is not dependent on the graphical complexity, but on the markup used to create the structure of the website. Consequently, it is necessary to design some software assistants to help all users to mark themselves in space during a navigation session. In this paper, we propose an assistant for browsing on the Internet to allow user to get one s bearings within Web navigation. We describe our approach which puts at the disposal of the user a visited site map, thus giving an explicit representation of virtual space. Different levels of visualization are implemented in order to make the map more visible and less overloaded.

description: Precise control of particle positioning is desirable in many optical propulsion and sorting applications. Here, we develop an integrated platform for particle manipulation consisting of a combined optical nanofiber and optical tweezers system. Individual silica microspheres were introduced to the nanofiber at arbitrary points using the optical tweezers, thereby producing pronounced dips in the fiber transmission. We show that such consistent and reversible transmission modulations depend on both particle and fiber diameter, and may be used as a reference point for in-situ nanofiber or particle size measurement. Therefore we combine SEM size measurements with nanofiber transmission data to provide calibration for particle-based fiber assessment. We also demonstrate how the optical tweezers can be used to create a particle jet to feed a supply of microspheres to the nanofiber surface, forming a particle conveyor belt. This integrated optical platform provides a method for selective evanescent field manipulation of micron-sized particles and facilitates studies of optical binding and light-particle interaction dynamics.

description: Synchronizing a few-level quantum system is of fundamental importance to understanding synchronization in deep quantum regime. Whether a two-level system, the smallest quantum system, can be synchronized has been theoretically debated for the past several years. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate that a qubit can indeed be synchronized to an external driving signal by using a trapped-ion system. By engineering fully controllable gain and damping processes, an ion qubit is synchronized to oscillate at the same frequency as the driving signal and lock in phase. We systematically investigate the parameter regions of synchronization and observe characteristic features of the Arnold tongue. Our measurements agree remarkably well with numerical simulations based on recent theory on qubit synchronization. By synchronizing the basic unit of quantum information, our research opens up the possibility of applying quantum synchronization to large-scale quantum networks.

description: Objectives

The aim of this study was to examine the relation between hostility and incident ischemic heart disease (IHD) and to determine whether observed hostility is superior to patient-reported hostility for the prediction of IHD in a large, prospective observational study.

Background

Some studies have found that hostile patients have an increased risk of incident IHD. However, no studies have compared methods of hostility assessment or considered important psychosocial and cardiovascular risk factors as confounders. Furthermore, it is unknown whether all expressions of hostility carry equal risk or whether certain manifestations are more cardiotoxic.

Methods

We assessed the independent relationship between baseline observed hostility and 10-year incident IHD in 1,749 adults of the population-based Canadian Nova Scotia Health Survey.

Results

There were 149 (8.5%) incident IHD events (140 nonfatal, 9 fatal) during the 15,295 person-years of observation (9.74 events/1,000 person-years). Participants with any observed hostility had a greater risk of incident IHD than those without (p = 0.02); no such relation was found for patient-reported hostility. Those with any observed hostility had a significantly greater risk of incident IHD (hazard ratio: 2.06, 95% confidence interval: 1.04 to 4.08, p = 0.04), after adjusting for cardiovascular (age, sex, Framingham Risk Score) and psychosocial (depression, positive affect, patient-reported hostility, and anger) risk factors.

Conclusions

The presence of any observed hostility at baseline was associated with a 2-fold increased risk of incident IHD over 10 years of follow-up. Compared with patient-reported measures, observed hostility is a superior predictor of IHD.

description: Depression following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) affects 2 in 5 patients and is one of the most important psychosocial predictors of a poor cardiovascular prognosis.1 In the Coronary Psychosocial Evaluation Studies (COPES) randomized controlled trial, we compared the effectiveness of enhanced depression care, which comprised patient preference for problem-solving psychotherapy, antidepressant use, or both, through the use of a stepped-care algorithm, with usual care in patients with ACS and persistent depressive symptoms 3 months after discharge.2 The 6-month trial demonstrated that enhanced depression care improved patient satisfaction with treatment and reduced depressive symptoms. However, the intervention's impact on health-related quality of life, health care utilization, and cost-effectiveness has not been evaluated. To help bridge this gap and inform decision making, we undertook a cost-effectiveness analysis of enhanced depression treatment in patients with ACS and persistent depressive symptoms using results from the COPES trial.

description: We present a stellar population analysis of the nearby, face-on, SA(s)c galaxy, NGC628, which is part of the PPAK IFS Nearby Galaxies Survey (PINGS). The data cover a field of view of ~6 arcmin in diameter with a sampling of $\sim$2.7 arcsec per spectrum and a wavelength range (3700-7000A). We apply spectral inversion methods to derive 2-dimensional maps of star formation histories and chemical enrichment. We present maps of the mean (luminosity- and mass-weighted) age and metallicity that reveal the presence of structures such as a nuclear ring, previously seen in molecular gas. The disk is dominated in mass by an old stellar component at all radii sampled by our data, while the percentage of young stars increase with radius. The mean stellar age and metallicity profiles have a two defined regions, an inner one with flatter gradients (even slightly positive) and an external ones with a negative, steeper one, separated at $\sim$60 arcsec. This break in the profiles is more prominent in the old stellar component. The young component shows a metallicity gradient that is very similar to that of the gas, and that is flatter in the whole disc. The agreement between the metallicity gradient of the young stars and the gas, and the recovery of the measured colours from our derived star formation histories validate the techniques to recover the age-metallicity and the star formation histories in disc galaxies from integrated spectra. We speculate about the possible origin of the break and conclude that the most likely scenario is that we are seeing, in the center of NGC 628, a dissolving bar, as predicted in some numerical simulations.

description: Spirituality is a multidimensional construct, and little is known about how its distinct dimensions jointly affect well-being. In longitudinal studies (Study 1, n = 418 breast cancer patients; Study 2, n = 165 cancer survivors), the authors examined 2 components of spiritual well-being (i.e., meaning/peace and faith) and their interaction, as well as change scores on those variables, as predictors of psychological adjustment. In Study 1, higher baseline meaning/peace, as well as an increase in meaning/peace over 6 months, predicted a decline in depressive symptoms and an increase in vitality across 12 months in breast cancer patients. Baseline faith predicted an increase in perceived cancer-related growth. Study 2 revealed that an increase in meaning/peace was related to improved mental health and lower cancer-related distress. An increase in faith was related to increased cancer-related growth. Both studies revealed significant interactions between meaning/peace and faith in predicting adjustment. Findings suggest that the ability to find meaning and peace in life is the more influential contributor to favorable adjustment during cancer survivorship, although faith appears to be uniquely related to perceived cancer-related growth.
Persistent charge and spin currents in a quantum ring using Green's function technique: Interplay between magnetic flux and spin-orbit interactions

description: We put forward a new approach based on Green's function formalism to evaluate precisely persistent charge and spin currents in an Aharonov-Bohm ring subjected to Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. Unlike conventional methods our present scheme circumvents direct evaluation of eigenvalues and eigenstates of the system Hamiltonian to determine persistent currents which essentially reduces possible numerical errors, especially for larger rings. The interplay of Aharonov-Bohm flux and spin-orbit interactions in persistent charge and spin currents of quantum rings is analyzed in detail and our results lead to a possibility of estimating the strength of any one of the spin-orbit fields provided the other one is known. All these features are exactly invariant even in presence of impurities, and therefore, can be substantiated experimentally.

description: Aims: Depression and anxiety are linked to coronary events but the mechanism(s) remains unclear. We investigated the associations of depression and anxiety with serotonin-mediated platelet hyperactivity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients in a cross-sectional study.
Methods and results: Three months after an acute coronary event, stable CAD patients (n = 83) on aspirin and clopidogrel were evaluated for depression (beck depression inventory) and anxiety (hospital anxiety and depression scale), and their platelet reactivity was measured (optical aggregometry and flow cytometric fibrinogen binding in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP = 5 µM) and two serotonin + epinephrine doses [5HT:E (L) = 4 µM + 4 µM and 5HT:E (H) = 10 µM + 4 µM]. Platelet reactivity was significantly higher in depressed and anxious than in depressed only or non-depressed-and-non-anxious patients. Aggregation (mean ± SE) was 41.9 ± 2.6% vs. 32.2 ± 2.6% vs. 30.4 ± 3.7% with 5HT:E (L) and 46.9 ± 2.7% vs. 35.6 ± 2.7% vs. 31.7 ± 3.8% with 5HT:E (H) (P < 0.05 for both). Differences in ADP aggregations were not significant, perhaps because of clopidogrel therapy. Flow cytometry findings were similar. In a multivariate linear regression model adjusted for age, body mass index, and each other, anxiety symptoms independently predicted all 5HT:E-mediated platelet reactivity measures, whereas depression predicted none.
Conclusion: Anxiety is associated with elevated serotonin-mediated platelet reactivity in stable CAD patients and symptoms of anxiety show strong, independent correlations with platelet function.

description: We probe the secondary rheology of granular media, by imposing a main flow and immersing a vane-shaped probe into the slowly flowing granulate. The secondary rheology is then the relation between the exerted torque T and rotation rate ωof our probe. In the absence of any main flow, the probe experiences a clear yield-stress, whereas for any finite flow rate, the yield stress disappears and the secondary rheology takes on the form of a double exponential relation between ωand T. This secondary rheology does not only depend on the magnitude of T, but is anisotropic --- which we show by varying the relative orientation of the probe and main flow. By studying the depth dependence of the three characteristic torques that characterize the secondary rheology, we show that for counter flow, the dominant contribution is frictional like --- i.e., T and pressure are proportional for given ω--- whereas for co flow, the situation is more complex. Our experiments thus reveal the crucial role of anisotropy for the rheology of granular media.

Arbitrary High Order WENO Finite Volume Scheme with Flux Globalization for Moving Equilibria Preservation

description: In the context of preserving stationary states, e.g. lake at rest and moving equilibria, a new formulation of the shallow water system, called Flux Globalization has been introduced by Cheng et al. (2019). This approach consists in including the integral of the source term in the global flux and reconstructing the new global flux rather than the conservative variables. The resulting scheme is able to preserve a large family of smooth and discontinuous steady state moving equilibria. In this work, we focus on an arbitrary high order WENO Finite Volume (FV) generalization of the global flux approach. The most delicate aspect of the algorithm is the appropriate definition of the source flux (integral of the source term) and the quadrature strategy used to match it with the WENO reconstruction of the hyperbolic flux. When this construction is correctly done, one can show that the resulting WENO FV scheme admits exact discrete steady states characterized by constant global fluxes. We also show that, by an appropriate quadrature strategy for the source, we can embed exactly some particular steady states, e.g. the lake at rest for the shallow water equations. It can be shown that an exact approximation of global fluxes leads to a scheme with better convergence properties and improved solutions. The novel method has been tested and validated on classical cases: subcritical, supercritical and transcritical flows.
