description: Objectives To estimate the attack rates, and identify the risk factors of COVID-19 infection. Methods Based on a retrospective cohort study, we investigated 11,580 contacts of COVID-19 cases in Guangdong Province from January 10 to March 15, 2020. All contacts were tested by RT-PCR to detect their infection of SARS-COV-2. Attack rates by characteristics were calculated, and logistic regression was used to estimate the risk factors of infection for COVID-19. Results A total of 515 of 11,580 contacts were identified to be infected with SARS-COV-2. Compared to young adults aged 20-29 years, the infected risk was higher in children (RR: 2.59, 95%CI: 1.79-3.76), and old people aged 60-69 years (RR: 5.29, 95%CI: 3.76-7.46). Females also had higher infected risk (RR: 1.66, 95%CI: 1.39-2.00). People having close relationship with index cases encountered higher risk to be infected (RR for spouse: 20.68, 95%CI: 14.28-29.95; RR for non-spouse family members: 9.55, 95%CI: 6.73-13.55; RR for close relatives: 5.90, 95%CI: 4.06-8.59; RR for other relatives: 3.37, 95%CI: 2.15-5.28). Moreover, contacts exposed to index case in symptomatic period (RR: 2.15, 95%CI: 1.67-2.79), with critically severe symptoms (RR: 1.61, 95%CI: 1.00-2.57), with symptoms of dizzy (RR: 1.58, 95%CI: 1.08-2.30), myalgia (RR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.15-1.94), and chill (RR: 1.42, 95%CI: 1.05-1.92) had higher infected risks. Conclusion Children, old people, females and family members are susceptible to be infected with COVID-19, while index cases in incubation period had lower contagiousness. Our findings will be helpful for developing targeted prevention and control strategies to combat the worldwide pandemic.

description: In recent and future synchrotron radiation facilities, relativistic electron bunches with increasingly high charge density are needed for producing brilliant light at various wavelengths, from X-rays to terahertz. In such conditions, interaction of electrons bunches with their own emitted electromagnetic fields leads to instabilities and spontaneous formation of complex spatial structures. Understanding these instabilities is therefore key in most electron accelerators. However, investigations suffer from the lack of non-destructive recording tools for electron bunch shapes. In storage rings, most studies thus focus on the resulting emitted radiation. Here, we present measurements of the electric field in the immediate vicinity of the electron bunch in a storage ring, over many turns. For recording the ultrafast electric field, we designed a photonic time-stretch analog-to-digital converter with terasamples/second acquisition rate. We could thus observe the predicted link between spontaneous pattern formation and giant bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation in a storage ring.

description: Characterization of coalbed methane occurrence and producibility in the Black Warrior basin of Alabama indicates that geologic factors are the principal controls on the occurrence and producibility of coalbed methane. Results of engineering analysis indicate that application of completion and stimulation techniques may be used to increase recovery once favorable well sites are chosen. Sedimentologic and coal-quality parameters may be used to locate regions for coalbed methane development by characterizing the occurrence, rank, and grade of coal resources. However, high-productivity trends within those regions are localized, and geologic data suggest that productivity trends may be predictable on the basis of structural and hydrologic parameters. Several highly productive trends occur along northeast-oriented lineaments. These trends evidently are the surface expression of zones of enhanced permeability which apparently are related to fractures. Productive trends also are associated with areas of low reservoir pressure, and salinity maps indicate that fresh water has migrated toward these areas from the southeast margin of the basin. The available data indicate that structure and hydrology are critical production parameters that may be used to identify favorable well sites within regions containing significant, high-quality coal resources.

description: We present a path integral formalism for quantising gravity in the form of the spectral action. Our basic principle is to sum over all Dirac operators. The approach is demonstrated on two simple finite noncommutative geometries: the two-point space, and the matrix geometry M_2(C). On the first, the graviton is described by a Higgs field, and on the second, it is described by a gauge field. We start with the partition function and calculate the propagator and Greens functions for the gravitons. The expectation values of distances are evaluated, and we discover that distances shrink with increasing graviton excitations. We find that adding fermions reduces the effects of the gravitational field. A comparison is also made with Rovelli's canonical quantisation approach, and with his idea of spectral path integrals. We include a brief discussion on the quantisation of a Riemannian manifold.

description: We study the ground-state properties of the two-dimensional quantum spin systems having the valence-bond-solid (VBS) type ground states. The ``product-of-tensors'' form of the ground-state wavefunction of the system is utilized to associate it with an equivalent classical lattice statistical model which can be treated by the transfer-matrix method. For diagonalization of the transfer matrix, we employ the product-wavefunction renormalization group method which is a variant of the density-matrix renormalization group method. We obtain the correlation length and the sublattice magnetization accurately. For the anisotropically ``deformed'' S=3/2 VBS model on the honeycomb lattice, we find that the correlation length as a function of the deformation parameter behaves very much alike as that in the S=3/2 VBS chain.

description: Critically ill patients with coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) are of grave concern. Those patients usually underwent a stage of excessive inflammation before developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this study, we test the hypothesis that short-term, low-to-moderate-dose corticosteroids would benefit patients when used in the early phase of excessive inflammation, namely, the therapeutic window. Among a Shanghai cohort and a validation cohort, we enrolled COVID-19 patients showing marked radiographic progression. Short-term, low-to-moderate-dose corticosteroids were considered for them. After identifying the possible markers for the therapeutic window, we then divided the patients, based on whether they were treated with corticosteroids within the therapeutic window, into the early-start group and control group. We identified that the therapeutic window for corticosteroids was characterized by a marked radiographic progression and lactase dehydrogenase (LDH) less than two times the upper limit of normal (ULN). The Shanghai cohort comprised of 68 patients, including 47 in the early-start group and 21 in the control group. The proportion of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation was significantly lower in the early-start group than in the control group (10.6% vs. 33.3%, difference, 22.7%, 95% confidence interval 2.6–44.8%). Among the validation cohort of 51 patients, similar difference of the primary outcome was observed (45.0% vs. 74.2%, P = 0.035). Among COVID-19 patients with marked radiologic progression, short-term, low-to-moderate-dose corticosteroids benefits patients with LDH levels of less than two times the ULN, who may be in the early phase of excessive inflammation.

description: In the present work, the progress in developing a methodology for calculating the detection efficiency of an underwater gamma-ray spectrometer for marine sediment measurements on the seabed is presented. The experimental work was carried out at the coastal zone of Vasilikos (Cyprus) by deploying the in-situ NaI detector system ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑ and acquiring data from seawater (4π geometry) and from the seabed (2π geometry). Sediment samples were also collected from the same sites and subsequently measured in the laboratory, by means of high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The experimental full-energy peak efficiency of the in-situ system in the energy range 1400-2600 keV, was calculated for a specific site (Site 1), by combining the in-situ measurements with the laboratory reference ones. Furthermore, the efficiency results were reproduced by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, using the MCNP5 code. The developed method was subsequently implemented for activity concentration calculations in sediments by analyzing the in-situ spectra as acquired from neighboring sites, to the reference point (Site 1), in the same region. The activity calculation results were validated using corresponding reference laboratory measurements, by means of a HPGe detector, in the same sites. Comparison results between in-situ and laboratory measurements, exhibited satisfactory agreement within statistical uncertainties. The instrumentation used and the first steps in establishing a methodology for in-situ quantitative sediment measurements are presented. Concluding, perspectives of improving experimental data and generalizations in the system efficiency calibration calculations are discussed for future applications by obtaining more data in sea beds with different geological formations.
title: Decline of Submerged Vegetation in the Galveston Bay System: Chronology and Relationships to Physical Processes

description: The Galveston Bay complex of Texas ranks as the 7th largest estuary in the USA, including 143,000 ha (about 554,000 acres) of open water and approximately 93,000 ha (230,000 acres) of wetlands, of which about 48,000 ha (about 118,000 acres) are marshes and swamps. These habitats support finfish and shellfish populations, which annually account for 28 percent of the total Texas commercial bay fisheries landings, 67 percent of the Texas oyster harvest (averaging 3.6 million pounds), and 30 percent of blue crab and shrimp harvests. This production is sustained by a combination of high freshwater inflows from the Trinity-San Jacinto Rivers, nutrient cycling dynamics of bay wetlands, and nursery grounds afforded by shallow-water habitats. Despite its inherent natural resource value, Galveston Bay has been heavily impacted by shoreline industrial and municipal development, excess inputs of pollutants and wastewater discharges, channelization, dredging projects, subsidence, and alterations in bay-water circulation dynamics. Degradation of the bay-system's water quality has increased to the point that over 38 billion gallons a day of waste effluents are discharged into the bay and its tributaries. A decline of approximately 90 percent in bay submerged vascular vegetation (SV) since 1956 (when aerial photographs indicate approximately 2,070 ha -- 5,120 acres) is an alarming environmental impact because of the loss in fisheries nursery habitat. The disappearance of this valuable subtidal habitat has received widespread attention with the recent designation of Galveston Bay as a national estuary by the EPA National Estuary Program. Review of the chronological sequence of SV habitat loss has been recommended to help determine critical factors threatening estuarine habitats and to design management solutions for restoration of impacted SV habitat.

description: The Travis Peak Formation of the East Texas Basin was divided into five lithostratigraphic units. Formation of a fluvial-deltaic-paralic-shelf depositional systems tract was interpreted from analyses of stratigraphic and sedimentologic data acquired for each lithostratigraphic unit from well logs and cores. During early Travis Peak development, braided streams deposited channel belt, floodplain, and overbank sediments in most of the study area. Downdip of the braided streams, deltas prograded to the south and southeast over a shallow, stable shelf. As braided streams migrated and enlarged, the site of deltaic deposition advanced southward and expanded to the northeast. Estuaries developed in relatively sediment-starved, embayed portions of the shoreline between centers of deltaic deposition. Seaward of the deltas, shelf sandstones accumulated through sediment-gravity processes triggered by high sediment loads and rapid deposition in the deltas. Shoreline transgression and the development of coastal-plain and paralic environments characterize late Travis Peak evolution. Fluvial systems transported a mud-rich sediment load and assumed a sinuous-braided to meandering form. Channel belts coursed across a coastal plain with expansive floodplains and lakes and fed a few small retrogradational deltas. Estuaries enlarged and became a dominant coastal feature as submergence of the coastal plain progressed. With continued transgression, marine limestone of the Sligo Formation onlapped the Travis Peak.

description: Starting from a well defined local Lagrangian, we analyze the renormalization group equations in terms of the two different arbitrary scales associated with the regularization procedure and with the physical renormalization of the bare parameters, respectively. We apply our formalism to the minimal subtraction scheme using dimensional regularization. We first argue that the relevant regularization scale in this case should be dimensionless. By relating bare and renormalized parameters to physical observables, we calculate the coefficients of the renormalization group equation up to two loop order in the $ϕ^4$ theory. We show that the usual assumption, considering the bare parameters to be independent of the regularization scale, is not a direct consequence of any physical argument. The coefficients that we find in our two-loop calculation are identical to the standard practice. We finally comment on the decoupling properties of the renormalized coupling constant.

description: Deltaic and associated riverine deposits near the mouths of rivers that discharge into estuaries along the Texas coast are the sites of extensive salt, brackish, and fresh-water marshes that are essential components of biologically productive estuarine systems. These bay-head depositional features are constructed primarily by fluvial sediments, sediments transported and deposited by the major rivers that enter estuarine waters. The loss of over 10,000 acres of wetlands in alluvial and deltaic areas of the Neches (White and others, 1987) and San Jacinto Rivers (White and others, 1985) emphasized the need to examine in more detail the processes that establish and maintain, as well as degrade, these important natural resources along the Texas coast.

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

description: We compute the contribution to charged Higgs boson pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) due to the scattering of two electroweak (EW) gauge bosons, these being in turn generated via bremsstrahlung off incoming quarks: q q --> q q V^*V^* --> q q H^+H^- (V=gamma,Z,W^{+/-}). We verify that the production cross section of this mode is tan beta independent and show that it is smaller than that of H^+H^- production via q q-initiated processes but generally larger than that of the loop-induced channel gg --> H^+H^-. Pair production of charged Higgs bosons is crucial in order to test EW symmetry breaking scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM). We show that the detection of these kind of processes at the standard LHC is however problematic, because of their poor production rates and the large backgrounds.

description: We construct a theory of quantum fluctuatons in a regular array of small superconductive islands connected via low-resistance tunnel contacts to a dirty thin metal film. Electron-electron interaction in the film is assumed to be repulsive. The system is macroscopically superconductive when the distance between neighbouring islands is short enough. The zero-temperature phase transition from superconductive to normal-conductive state is shown to occur with the increase of distance between superconductive islands; the logarithm of the critical distance is proportional to the low-frequency zero-voltage Andreev conductance between the SC island and the film. This critical distance is always much less the than the two-dimensional localization length, so the considered effect develops when weak-localization corrections are still small. The dependence of the critical temperature on the film conductance and inter-island distance is found.

description: Este artigo coloca em evidência uma das questões críticas mais fundamentais do pensamento de Jorge de Sena sobre Fernando Pessoa: a articulação entre o homem que concebe e o artista que realiza. Nessa passagem do desejo à execução da obra, Sena situa o cerne do fenômeno heteronímico – a invenção do autor – como um elemento necessário para que o poeta atinja a grande criação, ainda quando escrevesse sob o signo ortônimo. Trata-se de uma hipótese explicativa sobre o processo de escrita pessoano, em que a ação de “devir-heterônimo”, próxima ao conceito posteriormente forjado por José Gil (1987), figura como síntese entre o esvaziamento do eu e a consciência artística do poeta.

description: Excerpt from the report: Research was conducted at the request of the Florida Citrus Commission, representing growers, processors, and shippers of citrus fruits, to determine the market potential of an artificially sweetened grapefruit juice when promoted and merchandised as a regular grocery item rather than as a dietetic food. Specifically, the objective was to appraise the contribution that such a product so marketed might make in expanding the demand for grapefruit. The research was conducted in Fort Wayne, Ind., September 1958-January 1959.

description: We study products of random matrices in the regime where the number of terms and the size of the matrices simultaneously tend to infinity. Our main theorem is that the logarithm of the $\ell_2$ norm of such a product applied to any fixed vector is asymptotically Gaussian. The fluctuations we find can be thought of as a finite temperature correction to the limit in which first the size and then the number of matrices tend to infinity. Depending on the scaling limit considered, the mean and variance of the limiting Gaussian depend only on either the first two or the first four moments of the measure from which matrix entries are drawn. We also obtain explicit error bounds on the moments of the norm and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance to a Gaussian. Finally, we apply our result to obtain precise information about the stability of gradients in randomly initialized deep neural networks with ReLU activations. This provides a quantitative measure of the extent to which the exploding and vanishing gradient problem occurs in a fully connected neural network with ReLU activations and a given architecture.

description: Changes in shoreline position and stability in the Galveston and San Antonio Bay systems since the late 1800s were documented using historical monitoring techniques. This is accomplished by comparing shorelines from topographic charts (dated 1850 to 1860) and aerial photographs (taken in 1929-37, 1956-57, 1974, and 1982), measuring the magnitude (distance) of shoreline movement at specific sites, and calculating the rates of change for particular time periods (late 1800s to 1930s, 1930s to 1982, and late 1800s to 1982). Geological interpretations of the maps and photographs are used in conjunction with meteorological data and historical records to explain the important trends revealed in the tabulated shoreline data. Unprotected sediments forming the margins of these bays are subjected to natural coastal processes and modified by human activities that together cause shoreline movement. These unstabilized shorelines include high, nearly vertical clay bluffs, moderate slopes composed mainly of sand, saltwater marshes, sand and shell beaches, and newly formed areas filled by dredged material. Composition of the shoreline material and orientation of the shoreline with respect to prevailing wind directions and wave fetch largely determine the response and consequent movement of the shoreline. In some areas, property owners have attempted to stabilize the shoreline and prevent further movement by building seawalls and bulkheads and using riprap to dissipate wave energy. Factors contributing to shoreline changes include (1) regional and worldwide climate, (2) local changes in relative sea-level position, (3) local alterations in sediment supply, (4) storm frequency and intensity, and (5) human activities. Historical data compiled for these various factors indicate that warming temperatures, rising sea level, decreasing sediment supply, recurring severe storms, and ongoing human activities all favor continued erosion of most unprotected bay shorelines.
Magnetic Dipole Absorption of Radiation in Small Conducting Particles

description: We give a theoretical treatment of magnetic dipole absorption of electromagnetic radiation in small conducting particles, at photon energies which are large compared to the single particle level spacing, and small compared to the plasma frequency. We discuss both diffusive and ballistic electron dynamics for particles of arbitrary shape. The conductivity becomes non-local when the frequency is smaller than the frequency ω_c characterising the transit of electrons from one side of the particle to the other, but in the diffusive case ω_c plays no role in determining the absorption coefficient. In the ballistic case, the absorption coefficient is proportional to ω^2 for ω<< ω_c, but is a decreasing function of ωfor ω>> ω_c.

description: We address the question of convergence of evolving interacting particle systems as the number of particles tends to infinity. We consider two types of particles, called positive and negative. Same-sign particles repel each other, and opposite-sign particles attract each other. The interaction potential is the same for all particles, up to the sign, and has a logarithmic singularity at zero. The central example of such systems is that of dislocations in crystals. Because of the singularity in the interaction potential, the discrete evolution leads to blow-up in finite time. We remedy this situation by regularising the interaction potential at a length-scale $δ_n>0$, which converges to zero as the number of particles $n$ tends to infinity. We establish two main results. The first one is an evolutionary convergence result showing that the empirical measures of the positive and of the negative particles converge to a solution of a set of coupled PDEs which describe the evolution of their continuum densities. In the setting of dislocations these PDEs are known as the Groma-Balogh equations. In the proof we rely on the theory of $λ$-convex gradient flows, a priori estimates for the Groma-Balogh equations and Orlicz spaces. The proof require $δ_n$ to converge to zero sufficiently slowly. The second result is a counterexample, demonstrating that if $δ_n$ converges to zero sufficiently fast, then the limits of the empirical measures of the positive and the negative dislocations do not satisfy the Groma-Balogh equations. These results show how the validity of the Groma-Balogh equations as the limit of many-particle systems depends in a subtle way on the scale at which the singularity of the potential is regularised.

description: The theoretical predictions in the MSSM for Higgs-boson production at a future e^+e^- Linear Collider and Higgs-boson decay processes are discussed focusing in particular on recent diagrammatic two-loop results in the MSSM Higgs sector. The present status of the theoretical predictions is briefly summarized, and it is emphasized that considerable improvements will be necessary in order to match the high experimental accuracy achievable at a future Linear Collider.

description: This report describes the surface-water hydrology at the proposed low-level radioactive waste isolation site in Hudspeth County, Texas. The objective of these investigations was to evaluate the flooding potential at the site based on computer simulation of runoff from observed and hypothetical rain events. Analytic techniques and assumptions used in this study are based on recommendations of federal and state regulatory agencies regarding flood insurance and dam safety criteria. Published topographic maps, aerial photographs, and site surveys were used for delineating drainage basins and surface-water pathways on the study area. Surface-water runoff volumes were calculated for rain events monitored at the site during the study period. Hydrologic computer models were employed to determine correlation of rainfall to surface-water runoff. These computer models were calibrated using rainfall and stream-flow data measured at the site. Flood profiles were calculated for 100-yr and probable maximum rain events, which were estimated from historical data. The following conclusions regarding the flooding potential at the study area were drawn on the basis of these studies: (1) Computer simulation indicates that floods resulting from hypothetical 100-yr and probable maximum precipitation events are contained within existing channels in the study area, leaving large interchannel areas unflooded. Some overland sheet flow is encountered over the flat area, but the velocities of flow are very small. (2) Rainfall events recorded during the 1988-1989 period were short and localized. The response of runoff to rainfall is rapid and the duration of the peak water flow after rainfall is relatively short. (3) Flow velocities range from 3 to 13 ft/sec (0.9 to 4 m/sec) in channels and are lower over flat areas. Maximum depth of flow due to a 100-yr flood in the better-defined channel on the central part of the study area is about 5 ft (1.5 m).

description: Background: Critically ill patients with COVID-19 are of grave concern. Those patients usually underwent a stage of excessive inflammation before developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this study, we test the hypothesis that short-term, low-to-moderate-dose corticosteroids would benefit patients when used in the early phase of excessive inflammation namely, the therapeutic window. Methods: Among a Shanghai cohort and a validation cohort, we enrolled COVID-19 patients showing marked radiographic progression. Short-term, low-to-moderate-dose corticosteroids were considered for them. After identifying the possible markers for the therapeutic window, we then divided the patients, based on whether they were treated with corticosteroids within the therapeutic window, into the early-start group and control group. Results: We identified that the therapeutic window for corticosteroids was characterized by a marked radiographic progression and lactase dehydrogenase (LDH) less than two times the upper limit of normal (ULN). The Shanghai cohort was composed of 68 patients, including 47 in the early-start group and 21 in the control group. The proportion of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation was significantly lower in the early-start group than in the control group (10.6% vs. 33.3%, difference, 22.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2·6% to 44·8%). Among the validation cohort of 51 patients, similar difference of the primary outcome was observed (45.0% vs. 74.2%, P=0.035). Conclusions: Among COVID-19 patients with marked radiologic progression, short-term, low-to-moderate-dose corticosteroids benefits patients with LDH levels of less than two times the ULN, who may be in the early phase of excessive inflammation.

description: There exists a general model framework where dark matter can be a vanilla WIMP-like thermal relic with a mass of ${\cal O}$(100 GeV), but it still escapes direct detection. This happens, if the dark matter particle is a Goldstone boson whose scattering with ordinary matter is suppressed at low energy due to momentum-dependent interactions. We outline general features of this type of models and analyse a simple realization of these dynamics as a concrete example. In particular, we show that although direct detection of this type of dark matter candidate is very challenging, the indirect detection can already provide relevant constraints. Future projections of the indirect-detection experiments allow for even more stringent exclusion limits and can rule out models of this type.
