description: Introduction: Emergency medical services (EMS) fellowship program accreditation in the United States began in 2013, and the number of available programs has rapidly expanded since then with a corresponding increase in the number of fellows. Despite this increase in program number and attendance, there is a paucity of data in the literature reviewing personal and professional characteristics of the fellows, their experiences during fellowship, or understanding of their intended desires from fellowship. Methods: This study surveyed 2020-21 and 2021-22 EMS fellows regarding their personal and professional characteristics, motivations for program choice, remaining school debt, and the effects of COVID-19 on their training. Fellows’ contact information was obtained individually from program directors as listed in the National Association of EMS Physicians fellowship list. A link to the 42-question electronic survey and periodic reminders were sent to fellows using REDCap. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze the data. Results: Ninety-nine responses (72%) were obtained from a list of 137 fellows. Most were White (82%), male (64%), 30-35 years of age (59%), with MD degrees, from three-year residency programs. Few (9%) had advanced degrees, but many (61%) had prior EMS experience, mostly at the EMT level. Most had $150,000 - $300,000 of school loan debt, and worked for a resident salary with additional benefits. Fellows were attracted by overall program offerings, physician response vehicles, availability of air medical experience, and the quality of faculty, and tended to stay where they did residency. A few (16% of the 2021-22 cohort) reported increased motivation to apply due to COVID-19 worsening job prospects. Graduating fellows felt most comfortable in clinical competencies and least comfortable in special operations, unless they had previous EMS experience. Sixty-eight percent had jobs as EMS physicians in June of their fellowship year. Most (75%) felt that the pandemic had made it harder to find jobs, and half were forced to move for employment. Conclusions: The demographics and graduate’s level of preparedness appear similar to those reported from 2016, and reflect the demographics of emergency medicine residents. Other new information including desired program qualities and offerings is potentially useful for program directors. COVID-19 did appear to have a small effect on fellow’s actions and possibly on ease of post-graduation employment.

description: We investigate from a mathematical perspective how Feynman amplitudes appear in the low-energy limit of string amplitudes. In this paper, we prove the convergence of the integrands. We derive this from results describing the asymptotic behavior of the height pairing between degree-zero divisors, as a family of Riemann surfaces degenerates. These are obtained by means of the nilpotent orbit theorem in Hodge theory.

description: We consider how the problem of determining normal forms for a specific class of nonholonomic systems leads to various interesting and concrete bridges between two apparently unrelated themes. Various ideas that traditionally pertain to the field of algebraic geometry emerge here organically in an attempt to elucidate the geometric structures underlying a large class of nonholonomic distributions known as Goursat constraints. Among our new results is a regularization theorem for curves stated and proved using tools exclusively from nonholonomic geometry, and a computation of topological invariants that answer a question on the global topology of our classifying space. Last but not least we present for the first time some experimental results connecting the discrete invariants of nonholonomic plane fields such as the RVT code and the Milnor number of complex plane algebraic curves.

description: Algorithms can be used to prove and to discover new theorems. This paper shows how algorithmic skills in general, and the notion of invariance in particular, can be used to derive many results from Euclid's algorithm. We illustrate how to use the algorithm as a verification interface (i.e., how to verify theorems) and as a construction interface (i.e., how to investigate and derive new theorems). The theorems that we verify are well-known and most of them are included in standard number theory books. The new results concern distributivity properties of the greatest common divisor and a new algorithm for efficiently enumerating the positive rationals in two different ways. One way is known and is due to Moshe Newman. The second is new and corresponds to a deforestation of the Stern-Brocot tree of rationals. We show that both enumerations stem from the same simple algorithm. In this way, we construct a Stern-Brocot enumeration algorithm with the same time and space complexity as Newman's algorithm. A short review of the original papers by Stern and Brocot is also included.

description: The prehospital care provided by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel is a critical component of the public health, public safety, and health care systems in the U.S.; however, the population-level value of EMS care is often overlooked. No studies have examined how the density of EMS personnel relates to population-level health outcomes. Our objectives were to examine the geographic distribution and density of EMS personnel in the U.S.; and quantify the association between EMS personnel density and population-level health outcomes. We conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of county-level EMS personnel density using estimates from the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians in nine states that require continuous national certification (Alabama, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Carolina, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.). Outcomes of interest included life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cardiac arrest mortality. We used quantile regression models to examine the association between a 10-person increase in EMS personnel density and each outcome at the 10th, 50th (median), and 90th percentiles, controlling for population characteristics and area health resources. There were 356 counties included, with a mean EMS density of 223 EMS personnel per 100,000 population. Density was higher in rural compared to urban counties (247 versus 186 per 100,000 population; p = 0.001). In unadjusted models, there was a significant association between increase in EMS personnel density and an increase in life expectancy at each examined percentile (e.g., 50th percentile, increase of 52.9 days; 95% CI 40.2, 65.5; p < 0.001), decrease in all-cause mortality at each examined percentile, and decrease in cardiac arrest mortality at the 50th and 90th percentiles. These associations were not statistically significant in the adjusted models. EMS personnel density differs between urban and rural areas, with higher density per population in rural areas. There were no statistically significant associations between EMS density and population-level health outcomes after controlling for population characteristics and other health resources. The best approach to quantifying the community-level value that EMS care may or may not provide remains unclear.
Impact Analysis of Baseband Quantizer on Coding Efficiency for HDR Video

description: Digitally acquired high dynamic range (HDR) video baseband signal can take 10 to 12 bits per color channel. It is economically important to be able to reuse the legacy 8 or 10-bit video codecs to efficiently compress the HDR video. Linear or nonlinear mapping on the intensity can be applied to the baseband signal to reduce the dynamic range before the signal is sent to the codec, and we refer to this range reduction step as a baseband quantization. We show analytically and verify using test sequences that the use of the baseband quantizer lowers the coding efficiency. Experiments show that as the baseband quantizer is strengthened by 1.6 bits, the drop of PSNR at a high bitrate is up to 1.60dB. Our result suggests that in order to achieve high coding efficiency, information reduction of videos in terms of quantization error should be introduced in the video codec instead of on the baseband signal.

description: Given two Riemann surfaces with boundary and a homotopy class of topological embeddings between them, there is a conformal embedding in the homotopy class if and only if the extremal length of every simple multi-curve is decreased under the embedding. Furthermore, the homotopy class has a conformal embedding that misses an open disk if and only if extremal lengths are decreased by a definite ratio. This ratio remains bounded away from one under covers.

description: Prehospital research and evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) have grown in recent decades, yet there is still a paucity of prehospital implementation research. While recent studies have revealed EMS agency leadership perspectives on implementation, the important perspectives and opinions of frontline EMS clinicians regarding implementation have yet to be explored in a systematic approach. The objective of this study was to measure the preferences of EMS clinicians for the process of EBG implementation and whether current agency practices align with those preferences. This study was a cross-sectional survey of National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians registrants. Eligible participants were certified paramedics who were actively practicing EMS clinicians. The survey contained discrete choice experiments (DCEs) for three EBG implementation scenarios and questions about rank order preferences for various aspects of the implementation process. For the DCEs, we used multinomial logistic regression to analyze the implementation preference choices of EMS clinicians, and latent class analysis to classify respondents into groups by their preferences. A total of 183 respondents completed the survey. Respondents had a median age of 39 years, were 74.9% male, 89.6% White, and 93.4% of non-Hispanic ethnicity. For all three DCE scenarios, respondents were significantly more likely to choose options with hospital feedback and individual-level feedback from EMS agencies. Respondents were significantly less likely to choose options with email/online only education, no feedback from hospitals, and no EMS agency feedback to clinicians. In general, respondents’ preferences favored classroom-based training over in-person simulation. For all DCE questions, most respondents (66.2%–77.1%) preferred their survey DCE choice to their agency’s current implementation practices. In the rank order preferences, most participants selected “knowledge of the underlying evidence behind the change” as the most important component of the process of implementation. In this study of EMS clinicians’ implementation preferences using DCEs, respondents preferred in-person education, feedback on hospital outcomes, and feedback on their individual performance. However, current practice at EMS agencies rarely matched those expressed EMS clinician preferences. Collectively, these results present opportunities for improving EMS implementation from the EMS clinician perspective.

Run-3 offline data processing and analysis at LHCb
Creators: name: Ferrillo, Martina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The LHCb detector is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade for data taking in the LHC's Run 3, which is scheduled to begin in 2022. The increased data rate in Run 3 poses significant data-processing and handling challenges for the LHCb experiment. The offline computing and dataflow model is consequently also being upgraded to cope with the factor 30 increase in data volume and associated demands of user-data samples of ever-increasing size. Coordinating these efforts is the charge of the newly created Data Processing and Analysis (DPA) project. The DPA project is responsible for ensuring the LHCb experiment can efficiently exploit the Run 3 data, dealing with the data from the online system with central skimming/slimming (a process known as "Sprucing") and subsequently producing analyst-level ntuples with a centrally managed production system (known as "Analysis Productions") utilising improved analysis tools and infrastructure for continuous integration and validation.It is a multi-disciplinary project involving collaboration between computing experts, trigger experts and physics analysis experts. This talk will present the evolution of the data processing model, followed by a review of the various activities of the DPA project. The associated computing, storage and network requirements are also discussed.

description: We study hypocoercivity for a class of linear and linearized BGK models for discrete and continuous phase spaces. We develop methods for constructing entropy functionals that prove exponential rates of relaxation to equilibrium. Our strategies are based on the entropy and spectral methods, adapting Lyapunov's direct method (even for "infinite matrices" appearing for continuous phase spaces) to construct appropriate entropy functionals. Finally, we also prove local asymptotic stability of a nonlinear BGK model.

description: The Monster tower, also known as the Semple tower, is a sequence of manifolds with distributions of interest to both differential and algebraic geometers. Each manifold is a projective bundle over the previous. Moreover, each level is a fiber compactified jet bundle equipped with an action of finite jets of the diffeomorphism group. There is a correspondence between points in the tower and curves in the base manifold. These points admit a stratification which can be encoded by a word called the RVT code. Here, we derive the spelling rules for these words in the case of a three dimensional base. That is, we determine precisely which words are realized by points in the tower. To this end, we study the incidence relations between certain subtowers, called Baby Monsters, and present a general method for determining the level at which each Baby Monster is born. Here, we focus on the case where the base manifold is three dimensional, but all the methods presented generalize to bases of arbitrary dimension.

Q-enhanced racetrack micro-resonators

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A $Q$-enhancement strategy for racetrack microresonators is put forward. The design is based on the modification of the resonator geometry in order to mitigate the two main sources of radiation loss in the presence of curved waveguides: the discontinuities at the junctions between straight waveguides and the bent sections, and the continuous loss at the curved waveguide sectors. At the same time, the modifications of the geometry do not affect the versatility of coupling of racetrack resonators in integrated optical circuits, which is their main advantage over ring microresonators. The proposal is applied to the design of high-$Q$ racetrack resonators for the silicon nitride CMOS-compatible platform having bent radii amenable for large-scale photonic integration. Numerical calculations show over $100\%$ improvement of the $Q$ factor in $\text{Si}_3\text{N}_4/\text{SiO}_2$ resonators.

description: Early recognition of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important to facilitate time-sensitive care. Electroencephalography (EEG) can identify TBI, but feasibility of EEG has not been evaluated in prehospital settings. We tested the feasibility of obtaining single-channel EEG during air medical transport after trauma. We measured association between quantitative EEG features, early blood biomarkers, and abnormalities on head computerized tomography (CT). We performed a pilot prospective, observational study enrolling consecutive patients transported by critical care air ambulance from the scene of trauma to a Level I trauma center. During transport, prehospital clinicians placed a sensor on the patient’s forehead to record EEG. We reviewed EEG waveforms and selected 90 seconds of recording for quantitative analysis. EEG data processing included fast Fourier transform to summarize component frequency power in the delta (0-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), and alpha (8-13 Hz) ranges. We collected blood samples on day 1 and day 3 post-injury and measured plasma levels of two brain injury biomarkers (ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 [UCH-L1] and glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]). We compared predictors between individuals with and without CT-positive TBI findings. Forty subjects were enrolled, with EEG recordings successfully obtained in 34 (85%). Reasons for failure included uncharged battery (n = 5) and user error (n = 1). Data were lost in three cases. Of 31 subjects with data, interpretable EEG signal was recorded in 26 (84%). Mean age was 48 (SD 16) years, 79% were male, and 50% suffered motor vehicle crashes. Eight subjects (24%) had CT-positive TBI. Subjects with and without CT-positive TBI had similar median delta power, alpha power, and theta power. UCH-L1 and GFAP plasma levels did not differ across groups. Delta power inversely correlated with UCH-L1 day 1 plasma concentration (r = -0.60, p = 0.03). Prehospital EEG acquisition is feasible during air transport after trauma.

description: Given an action of a group $Γ$ on a measure space $Ω$, we provide a sufficient criterion under which two sets $A, B\subseteq Ω$ are measurably equidecomposable, i.e., $A$ can be partitioned into finitely many measurable pieces which can be rearranged using the elements of $Γ$ to form a partition of $B$. In particular, we prove that every bounded measurable subset of $R^n$, $n\ge 3$, with non-empty interior is measurably equidecomposable to a ball via isometries. The analogous result also holds for some other spaces, such as the sphere or the hyperbolic space of dimension $n\ge 2$.

description: $^{136}$Xe is a 0νββ decay candidate isotope, and is used in multiple experiments searching for this hypothetical decay mode. These experiments require precise information about neutron capture for their background characterization and minimization. Thermal and resonant neutron capture on $^{136}$Xe have been measured at the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. A neutron beam ranging from thermal energy to greater than 100 keV was incident on a gas cell filled with isotopically pure $^{136}$Xe. The relative neutron capture cross sections for neutrons at thermal energies and the first resonance at 2.154 keV have been measured. Additionally, the γ cascades for these captures have been measured, and cascade models have been developed which may be used by 0νββ experiments using $^{136}$Xe.

Holographic Schwinger effect with a rotating probe D3-brane

description: This paper, among other things, talks about possible research on the holographic Schwinger effect with a rotating probe D3-brane. We discover that for the zero temperature case in the Schwinger effect, the faster the angular velocity and the farther the distance of the test particle pair at D3-brane, the potential barrier of total potential energy also grows higher and wider. This paper shows that at a finite temperature, when $S^5$ without rotation is close to the horizon, the Schwinger effect fails because the particles remain in an annihilate state, which is an absolute vacuum state. However, the angular velocity in $S^5$ will avoid the existence of an absolute vacuum near the horizon. For both zero and finite temperature states, the achieved results completely agree with the results of the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action. So the theories in this paper are consistent. All of these show that these theories will play important roles in future pair production research.

Recent results in the H-> WW channel with full LHC Run-II data collected by the CMS experiment
Creators: name: Amandeep Kaur
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In 2012, the observation of the Higgs Boson was announced by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN. Since the discovery, work has continued to measure the Higgs boson couplings and quantum numbers with greater precision. There are several production channels of the Higgs boson and we are searching for the production of the Higgs boson in association with a vector boson in the H→WW decay channel with the CMS experiment at the LHC. This measurement provides a direct probe of the Higgs boson coupling to vector bosons. The latest CMS results on the Higgs boson decay to a W boson pair are presented. The focus of the poster will be on the inclusive and STXS measurements performed for the VH leptonic channel with full Run 2 data which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137.1 fb-1, collected by the CMS detector at LHC , as well as the constraints on the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and vector bosons arising from the simultaneous measurement of different production mechanisms.
Di-photon Excess Explained by a Resonant Sneutrino in R-parity Violating Supersymmetry

description: We explain the recent excess seen by ATLAS and CMS experiments at around 750 GeV in the di-photon invariant mass as a narrow width sneutrino decaying to di-photons via a stau loop in R-parity violating Supersymmetry. The stau mass is predicted to be somewhere between half the resonant sneutrino mass and half the sneutrino mass plus 14 GeV. The scenario also predicts further signal channels at an invariant mass of 750 GeV, the most promising being into di-jets and $WW$. We also predict a left handed charged slepton decaying into $WZ$ and $W γ$ at a mass 750-754 GeV.

description: In recent years, simulations of pedestrians using the multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) have been studied. This study considered the roads on a grid-world environment, and implemented pedestrians as MARL agents using an echo-state network and the least squares policy iteration method. Under this environment, the ability of these agents to learn to move forward by avoiding other agents was investigated. Specifically, we considered two types of tasks: the choice between a narrow direct route and a broad detour, and the bidirectional pedestrian flow in a corridor. The simulations results indicated that the learning was successful when the density of the agents was not that high.

description: We add a theorem to [J. Differential Equations 257 (2014), no. 3, 720--758] by F. Achleitner, C.M. Cuesta and S. Hittmeir. In that paper we studied travelling wave solutions of a Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers type equation with a non-local diffusion term. In particular, the proof of existence and uniqueness of these waves relies on the assumption that the exponentially decaying functions are the only bounded solutions of the linearised equation. In this addendum we prove this assumption and thus close the existence and uniqueness proof of travelling wave solutions.

description: In order to describe the hadronization of polarized quarks, we discuss an extension of the quark-jet model to transverse momentum dependent fragmentation functions. The description is based on a product ansatz, where each factor in the product represents one of the transverse momentum dependent splitting functions, which can be calculated by using effective quark theories. The resulting integral equations and sum rules are discussed in detail for the case of inclusive pion production. In particular, we demonstrate that the 3-dimensional momentum sum rules are satisfied naturally in this transverse momentum dependent quark-jet model. Our results are well suited for numerical calculations in effective quark theories, and can be implemented in Monte-Carlo simulations of polarized quark hadronization processes.
