description: We show that the Casimir effect should be influenced by variations of the gravitational potential. This could be tested with a satellite in a highly elliptic orbit. Still significant technology development is required to achieve a relative accuracy of $<5 \times 10^{-10}$ necessary to detect the effect around Earth. That may be obtained in the future based on recent concepts for giant casimir forces. Such a space mission could evaluate both the laws of gravitation and quantum mechanics and their interaction. A dedicated mission, Gravity-Probe C, is proposed.

description: OBJECTIVE Ebola virus disease (EVD) places healthcare personnel (HCP) at high risk for infection during patient care, and personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical. Protocols for EVD PPE doffing have not been validated for prevention of viral self-contamination. Using surrogate viruses (non-enveloped MS2 and enveloped Φ6), we assessed self-contamination of skin and clothes when trained HCP doffed EVD PPE using a standardized protocol. METHODS A total of 15 HCP donned EVD PPE for this study. Virus was applied to PPE, and a trained monitor guided them through the doffing protocol. Of the 15 participants, 10 used alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) for glove and hand hygiene and 5 used hypochlorite for glove hygiene and ABHR for hand hygiene. Inner gloves, hands, face, and scrubs were sampled after doffing. RESULTS After doffing, MS2 virus was detected on the inner glove worn on the dominant hand for 8 of 15 participants, on the non-dominant inner glove for 6 of 15 participants, and on scrubs for 2 of 15 participants. All MS2 on inner gloves was observed when ABHR was used for glove hygiene; none was observed when hypochlorite was used. When using hypochlorite for glove hygiene, 1 participant had MS2 on hands, and 1 had MS2 on scrubs. CONCLUSIONS A structured doffing protocol using a trained monitor and ABHR protects against enveloped virus self-contamination. Non-enveloped virus (MS2) contamination was detected on inner gloves, possibly due to higher resistance to ABHR. Doffing protocols protective against all viruses need to incorporate highly effective glove and hand hygiene agents.

description: Virtual character animation and movement synthesis have advanced rapidly during recent years, especially through a combination of extensive motion capture datasets and machine learning. A remaining challenge is interactively simulating characters that fatigue when performing extended motions, which is indispensable for the realism of generated animations. However, capturing such movements is problematic, as performing movements like backflips with fatigued variations up to exhaustion raises capture cost and risk of injury. Surprisingly, little research has been done on faithful fatigue modeling. To address this, we propose a deep reinforcement learning-based approach, which -- for the first time in literature -- generates control policies for full-body physically simulated agents aware of cumulative fatigue. For this, we first leverage Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning (GAIL) to learn an expert policy for the skill; Second, we learn a fatigue policy by limiting the generated constant torque bounds based on endurance time to non-linear, state- and time-dependent limits in the joint-actuation space using a Three-Compartment Controller (3CC) model. Our results demonstrate that agents can adapt to different fatigue and rest rates interactively, and discover realistic recovery strategies without the need for any captured data of fatigued movement.

description: This paper proposes a general analysis of codeword detection in noncoherent communications. Motivated by the existence of error floors in various regimes, fundamental characteristics of signal design are investigated. In particular, the necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotically singular detection (i.e. error-free in the limit) are derived from classical results in detection theory. By leveraging tools from linear algebra and the theory of Hilbert spaces, we are able to characterize asymptotic singularity in two main scenarios: the large array and high SNR regimes. The results generalize previous works and extend the notion of unique identification, as well as re-contextualize the geometry of Grassmannian constellations from an alternative perspective.

description: Suppose that $a$ and $d$ are positive integers with $a \geq 2$. Let $h_{a,d}(n)$ be the largest integer $t$ such that any set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ contains a subset of $t$ points for which all the non-zero volumes of the ${t \choose a}$ subsets of order $a$ are distinct. Beginning with Erdős in 1957, the function $h_{2,d}(n)$ has been closely studied and is known to be at least a power of $n$. We improve the best known bound for $h_{2,d}(n)$ and show that $h_{a,d}(n)$ is at least a power of $n$ for all $a$ and $d$.

transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs),
including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA).1,2 MDROs can survive on surfaces for days to weeks
(for months in some cases).3 Following terminal room
cleaning and disinfection, frequent contamination by these
pathogens has been reported.1,2 Patients admitted to a room
where the previous occupant was also colonized or infected
with an MDRO are at substantial risk for acquisition of this
MDRO.4 For these reasons, “no-touch” methods of room
disinfection have been evaluated, including devices that emit
ultraviolet (UV) light or produce hydrogen peroxide vapor.5
Use of UV devices has been demonstrated to reduce

The Moser-Tardos Framework with Partial Resampling

description: The resampling algorithm of Moser \& Tardos is a powerful approach to develop constructive versions of the Lovász Local Lemma (LLL). We generalize this to partial resampling: when a bad event holds, we resample an appropriately-random subset of the variables that define this event, rather than the entire set as in Moser & Tardos. This is particularly useful when the bad events are determined by sums of random variables. This leads to several improved algorithmic applications in scheduling, graph transversals, packet routing etc. For instance, we settle a conjecture of Szabó & Tardos (2006) on graph transversals asymptotically, and obtain improved approximation ratios for a packet routing problem of Leighton, Maggs, & Rao (1994).

A total of 4,300 BBFE, including 3,318 percutaneous injuries (77%), were reported. The incidence rate for overall BBFE was significantly reduced during 2000'2014 (incidence rate difference, 1.72; P=.0003). The incidence rate for percutaneous injuries was also dramatically reduced during 2001'2006 (incidence rate difference, 1.37; P= .0079) but was less changed during 2006'2014. Percutaneous injuries associated with safety-engineered devices accounted for 27% of all BBFE. BBFE was most commonly due to injecting through skin, placing intravenous catheters, and blood drawing. conclusions. Our study revealed significant overall reduction in BBFE and percutaneous injuries likely due in part to the impact of safetyengineered devices but also identified that a considerable proportion of percutaneous injuries is now associated with these devices. Additional prevention strategies are needed to further reduce percutaneous injuries and improve design of safety-engineered devices.

description: Nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ for large $p_T$ single hadron is studied in a next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) parton model with medium-modified fragmentation functions (mFFs) due to jet quenching in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The energy loss of the hard partons in the QGP is incorporated in the mFFs which utilize two most important parameters to characterize the transport properties of the hard parton jets: the jet transport parameter $\hat q_{0}$ and the mean free path $λ_{0}$, both at the initial time $τ_0$. A phenomenological study of the experimental data for $R_{AA}(p_{T})$ is performed to constrain the two parameters with simultaneous $χ^2/{\rm d.o.f}$ fits to RHIC as well as LHC data. We obtain for energetic quarks $\hat q_{0}\approx 1.1 \pm 0.2$ GeV$^2$/fm and $λ_{0}\approx 0.4 \pm 0.03$ fm in central $Au+Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, while $\hat q_{0}\approx 1.7 \pm 0.3$ GeV$^2$/fm, and $λ_{0}\approx 0.5 \pm 0.05$ fm in central $Pb+Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV. Numerical analysis shows that the best fit favors a multiple scattering picture for the energetic jets propagating through the bulk medium, with a moderate averaged number of gluon emissions. Based on the best constraints for $λ_{0}$ and $τ_0$, the estimated value for the mean-squared transverse momentum broadening is moderate which implies that the hard jets go through the medium with small reflection.

description: Moser & Tardos have developed a powerful algorithmic approach (henceforth "MT") to the Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL); the basic operation done in MT and its variants is a search for "bad" events in a current configuration. In the initial stage of MT, the variables are set independently. We examine the distributions on these variables which arise during intermediate stages of MT. We show that these configurations have a more or less "random" form, building further on the "MT-distribution" concept of Haeupler et al. in understanding the (intermediate and) output distribution of MT. This has a variety of algorithmic applications; the most important is that bad events can be found relatively quickly, improving upon MT across the complexity spectrum: it makes some polynomial-time algorithms sub-linear (e.g., for Latin transversals, which are of basic combinatorial interest), gives lower-degree polynomial run-times in some settings, transforms certain super-polynomial-time algorithms into polynomial-time ones, and leads to Las Vegas algorithms for some coloring problems for which only Monte Carlo algorithms were known. We show that in certain conditions when the LLL condition is violated, a variant of the MT algorithm can still produce a distribution which avoids most of the bad events. We show in some cases this MT variant can run faster than the original MT algorithm itself, and develop the first-known criterion for the case of the asymmetric LLL. This can be used to find partial Latin transversals -- improving upon earlier bounds of Stein (1975) -- among other applications. We furthermore give applications in enumeration, showing that most applications (where we aim for all or most of the bad events to be avoided) have many more solutions than known before by proving that the MT-distribution has "large" min-entropy and hence that its support-size is large.

description: In the United States, more than 4 million cystoscopies are
performed each year. Cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that
uses an endoscope specially designed to examine the bladder,
lower urinary tract, and prostate gland or is used to collect
urine samples, perform biopsies, or remove small stones. A
flexible or rigid scope can be used to carry out the procedure.
Because the procedure involves a medical device in contact
with the patient’s mucous membranes, it is considered a
semicritical device that must, at a minimum, undergo highlevel
disinfection. Failure to properly high-level disinfect or
sterilize equipment can lead to transmission of infection.

description: Rotavirus vaccines are highly effective at preventing gastroenteritis in young children and are now universally recommended for infants in the US. We studied patterns of use of rotavirus vaccines among US infants with commercial insurance. We identified a large cohort of infants in the MarketScan Research Databases, 2006-2010. The analysis was restricted to infants residing in states without state-funded rotavirus vaccination programs. We computed summary statistics and used multivariable regression to assess the association between patient-, provider-, and ecologic-level variables of rotavirus vaccine receipt and series completion. Approximately 69% of 594,117 eligible infants received at least one dose of rotavirus vaccine from 2006-2010. Most infants received the rotavirus vaccines at the recommended ages, but more infants completed the series for monovalent rotavirus vaccine than pentavalent rotavirus vaccine or a mix of the vaccines (87% versus 79% versus 73%, P<0.001). In multivariable analyses, the strongest predictors of rotavirus vaccine series initiation and completion were receipt of the diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis vaccine (Initiation: RR = 7.91, 95% CI = 7.69-8.13; Completion: RR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.23-1.29), visiting a pediatrician versus family physician (Initiation: RR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.49-1.52; Completion: RR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.11-1.14), and living in a large metropolitan versus smaller metropolitan, urban, or rural area. We observed rapid diffusion of the rotavirus vaccine in routine practice; however, approximately one-fifth of infants did not receive at least one dose of vaccine as recently as 2010. Interventions to increase rotavirus vaccine coverage should consider targeting family physicians and encouraging completion of the vaccine series.

description: We present a detailed Fermi/LAT data analysis for the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 120. This source has recently entered into a state of increased gamma-ray activity which manifested itself in two major flares detected by Fermi/LAT in September 2014 and April 2015 with no significant flux changes reported in other wavelengths. We analyse available data focusing our attention on aforementioned outbursts. We find very fast variability timescale during flares (of the order of hours) together with a significant gamma-ray flux increase. We show that the 6.8 years averaged gamma-ray emission of 3C 120 is likely a sum of the external radiation Compton and the synchrotron self-Compton radiative components. To address the problem of "orphan" gamma-ray flares and fast variability we model the jet radiation dividing the jet structure into two components: the wide and relatively slow outer layer and the fast, narrow spine. We show that with the addition of the fast spine occasionally bent towards the observer we are able to explain observed spectral energy distribution of 3C 120 during flares with the Compton up-scattered broad-line region and dusty torus photons as main gamma-rays emission mechanism.

description: We consider column-sparse covering integer programs, a generalization of set cover, which have a long line of research of (randomized) approximation algorithms. We develop a new rounding scheme based on the Partial Resampling variant of the Lovász Local Lemma developed by Harris & Srinivasan (2019). This achieves an approximation ratio of $1 + \frac{\ln (Δ_1+1)}{a_{\min}} + O\Big( \log(1 + \sqrt{ \frac{\log (Δ_1+1)}{a_{\min}}} \Big)$, where $a_{\min}$ is the minimum covering constraint and $Δ_1$ is the maximum $\ell_1$-norm of any column of the covering matrix (whose entries are scaled to lie in $[0,1]$). When there are additional constraints on the variable sizes, we show an approximation ratio of $\ln Δ_0 + O(\log \log Δ_0)$ (where $Δ_0$ is the maximum number of non-zero entries in any column of the covering matrix). These results improve asymptotically, in several different ways, over results of Srinivasan (2006) and Kolliopoulos & Young (2005). We show nearly-matching inapproximability and integrality-gap lower bounds. We also show that the rounding process leads to negative correlation among the variables, which allows us to handle multi-criteria programs.

description: Here are the script (zpt_epistemological beliefs_script) and the commented outputs (zpt_epistemological beliefs_script.html) for the analyses regarding "relationships between religious and epistemological beliefs of school teachers" presented in chapter 4.3 of the article: Scheupflug, A., Pirner, M. L., Kröner, S., Penthin, M., & Christ, A. (2024). Religiöse und berufsbezogene Überzeugungen von Lehrkräften – zentrale Befunde aus dem empirisch-quantitativen DFG-Projekt „RebeL“. Zeitschrift für Pädagogik und Theologie. https://doi.org/10.1515/zpt-2024-2024.

This article presents the central findings of the study “Religious and Professional Beliefs of Schoolteachers (RebeL)”. A quantitative survey was conducted with N =1441 teachers in Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony, Germany, including 408 teachers with Religious Education as a school subject, with regard to relationships between their religious and professional beliefs as well as moderating contextual and subjective factors. The results of multivariate analyses showed that the teachers’ professional beliefs are largely independent of most facets of religious-spiritual beliefs; substantial relationships were mainly found for the spirituality facet “Connectedness with others” and the religious and worldview tolerance of the teachers. This finding is discussed in terms of its significance for religious education.

In diesem Beitrag werden die zentralen Befunde der Studie „Religiöse und berufsbezogene Überzeugungen von Lehrkräften (RebeL)“ vorgestellt. Untersucht wurden N =1441 Lehrkräfte in Bayern, Nordrhein-Westfalen und Sachsen, darunter auch 408 Lehrkräfte mit Religion als Unterrichtsfach, hinsichtlich der Zusammenhänge zwischen ihren religiösen und berufsbezogenen Überzeugungen sowie moderierenden kontextuellen und subjektiven Faktoren. Es zeigte sich in multivariaten Analysen, dass die berufsbezogenen Überzeugungen der Lehrkräfte von den meisten Facetten der religiös-spirituellen Überzeugungen weitgehend unabhängig sind; substantielle Zusammenhänge ergaben sich überwiegend für die Spiritualitätsfacette „Verbundenheit mit anderen“ sowie die religiös-weltanschauliche Toleranz der Lehrkräfte. Dieser Befund wird in seiner Bedeutung für die Religionspädagogik diskutiert.

description: Purpose: The update of US Pharmacopeia Chapter 〈797〉 in 2008 included guidelines stating that single-dose vials (SDVs) opened and maintained in an International Organization for Standardization Class 5 environment can be used for up to 6 hours after initial puncture. A study was conducted to evaluate the cost of discarding vials after 6 hours and to further test sterility of vials beyond this time point, subsequently defined as the beyond-use date (BUD). Methods: Financial determination of SDV waste included 2 months of retrospective review of all doses prescribed. Additionally, actual waste log data were collected. Active and control vials (prepared using sterilized trypticase soy broth) were recovered, instead of discarded, at the defined 6-hour BUD. Results: The institution-specific waste of 19 selected SDV medications discarded at 6 hours was calculated at $766,000 annually, and tracking waste logs for these same medications was recorded at $770,000 annually. Microbiologic testing of vial extension beyond 6 hours showed that 11 (1.86%) of 592 samples had one colony-forming unit on one of two plates. Positive plates were negative at subsequent time points, and all positives were single isolates most likely introduced during the plating process. Conclusion: The cost of discarding vials at 6 hours was significant for hazardous medications in a large academic medical center. On the basis of microbiologic data, vial BUD extension demonstrated a contamination frequency of 1.86%, which likely represented exogenous contamination; vial BUD extension for the tested drugs showed no growth at subsequent time points and could provide an annual cost savings of more than $600,000.

description: Despite widespread use of communicable disease surveillance data to inform public health intervention and control measures, the reporting completeness of the notifiable disease surveillance system remains incompletely assessed. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive study of reporting completeness with an analysis of 53 diseases reported by 8 health care systems across North Carolina, USA, during 1995-1997 and 2000-2006. All patients who were assigned an International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, diagnosis code for a state-required reportable communicable disease were matched to surveillance records. We used logistic regression techniques to estimate reporting completeness by disease, year, and health care system. The completeness of reporting varied among the health care systems from 2% to 30% and improved over time. Disease-specific reporting completeness proportions ranged from 0% to 82%, but were generally low even for diseases with great public health importance and opportunity for interventions.
