description: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in e-commerce, which has prompted residents to shift their purchasing habits from offline to online. As a result, Smart Parcel Lockers (SPLs) have emerged as an accessible end-to-end delivery service that fits into the pandemic strategy of maintaining social distance and no-contact protocols. Although numerous studies have examined SPLs from various perspectives, few have analyzed their spatial distribution from an urban planning perspective, which could enhance the development of other disciplines in this field. To address this gap, we investigate the distribution of SPLs in Tianjin’s central urban area before and after the pandemic (i.e., 2019 and 2022) using kernel density estimation, average nearest neighbor analysis, standard deviation elliptic, and geographical detector. Our results show that, in three years, the number of SPLs has increased from 51 to 479, and a majority were installed in residential communities (i.e., 92.2% in 2019, and 97.7% in 2022). We find that SPLs were distributed randomly before the pandemic, but after the pandemic, SPLs agglomerated and followed Tianjin’s development pattern. We identify eight influential factors on the spatial distribution of SPLs and discuss their individual and compound effects. Our discussion highlights potential spatial distribution analysis, such as dynamic layout planning, to improve the allocation of SPLs in city planning and city logistics.

description: The ratio of the elastic $e^+ p$ to $e^- p$ scattering cross sections has been measured precisely, allowing the determination of the two-photon exchange contribution to these processes. This neglected contribution is believed to be the cause of the discrepancy between the Rosenbluth and polarization transfer methods of measuring the proton electromagnetic form factors. The experiment was performed at the VEPP-3 storage ring at beam energies of 1.6 and 1.0 GeV and at lepton scattering angles between $15^\circ$ and $105^\circ$. The data obtained show evidence of a significant two-photon exchange effect. The results are compared with several theoretical predictions.

description: Knowledge regarding the frequency of ocular abnormalities and abnormal visual function in children exposed to Zika virus (ZIKV) in utero but born without congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) is limited. We hypothesized that children exposed to ZIKV in utero born without CZS may have visual impairments in early childhood. We performed ophthalmic examination between 16 and 21 months of age and neurodevelopment assessment at 24 months of age with the Mullen Scales of Early Learning test (MSEL) on children enrolled in a cohort born to women pregnant during and shortly after the ZIKV epidemic in Nicaragua (2016–2017). ZIKV exposure status was defined based on maternal and infant serological testing. Visual impairment was defined as abnormal if the child had an abnormal ophthalmic exam and/or low visual reception score in the MSEL assessment. Of 124 children included in the analysis, 24 (19.4%) were classified as ZIKV-exposed and 100 (80.6%) unexposed according to maternal or cord blood serology. Ophthalmic examination showed that visual acuity did not differ significantly between groups, thus, 17.4% of ZIKV-exposed and 5.2% of unexposed had abnormal visual function (p = 0.07) and 12.5% of the ZIKV-exposed and 2% of the unexposed had abnormal contrast testing (p = 0.05). Low MSEL visual reception score was 3.2-fold higher in ZIKV-exposed than unexposed children, but not statistically significant (OR 3.2, CI: 0.8–14.0; p = 0.10). Visual impairment (a composite measure of visual function or low MESL visual reception score) was present in more ZIKV-exposed than in unexposed children (OR 3.7, CI: 1.2, 11.0; p = 0.02). However, the limited sample size warrants future investigations to fully assess the impact of in utero ZIKV exposure on ocular structures and visual function in early childhood, even in apparently healthy children.

description: Background: The largest group of patients with breast cancer are estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) type. The estrogen receptor acts as a transcription factor and triggers cell proliferation and differentiation. Hence, investigating ER-DNA interaction genomic regions can help identify genes directly regulated by ER and understand the mechanism of ER action in cancer progression. Methods: In the present study, we employed a workflow to do a meta-analysis of ChIP-seq data of ER+ cell lines stimulated with 10 nM and 100 nM of E2. All publicly available data sets were re-analyzed with the same platform. Then, the known and unknown batch effects were removed. Finally, the meta-analysis was performed to obtain meta-differentially bound sites in estrogen-treated MCF7 cell lines compared to vehicles (as control). Also, the meta-analysis results were compared with the results of T47D cell lines for more precision. Enrichment analyses were also employed to find the functional importance of common meta-differentially bound sites and associated genes among both cell lines. Results: Remarkably, POU5F1B, ZNF662, ZNF442, KIN, ZNF410, and SGSM2 transcription factors were recognized in the meta-analysis but not in individual studies. Enrichment of the meta-differentially bound sites resulted in the candidacy of pathways not previously reported in breast cancer. PCGF2, HNF1B, and ZBED6 transcription factors were also predicted through the enrichment analysis of associated genes. In addition, comparing the meta-analysis results of both ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data showed that many transcription factors affected by ER were up-regulated. Conclusion: The meta-analysis of ChIP-seq data of estrogen-treated MCF7 cell line leads to the identification of new binding sites of ER that have not been previously reported. Also, enrichment of the meta-differentially bound sites and their associated genes revealed new terms and pathways involved in the development of breast cancer which should be examined in future in vitro and in vivo studies.

description: In a recent paper we demonstrated how the simplest model for varying alpha may be interpreted as the effect of a dielectric material, generalized to be consistent with Lorentz invariance. Unlike normal dielectrics, such a medium cannot change the speed of light, and its dynamics obey a Klein-Gordon equation. This work immediately suggests an extension of the standard theory, even if we require compliance with Lorentz invariance. Instead of a wave equation, the dynamics may satisfy a local algebraic relation involving the permittivity and the properties of the electromagnetic field, in analogy with more conventional dielectric (but still preserving Lorentz invariance). We develop the formalism for such theories and investigate some phenomenological implications. The problem of the divergence of the classical self-energy can be solved, or at least softened, in this framework. Some interesting new cosmological solutions for the very early universe are found, including the possibility of a bounce, inflation and expansion with a loitering phase, all of which are induced by early variations in alpha.

description: Objective: To determine the relative importance members of the US public place on different patient attributes in triage decisions about who should receive the last available intensive care unit (ICU) bed. Methods: A discrete choice experiment was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2000 respondents from the YouGov internet panel of US households. Respondents chose which of three hypothetical patients with COVID-19 should receive an ICU bed if only one were available. The three patients differed in age, gender, Alzheimer's-like disability and probability of survival if the patient received the ICU bed. An experimental design varied the values of the four attributes of the three hypothetical patients with COVID-19 that a respondent saw in four choice tasks. Results: The most important patient attribute to respondents was the probability the patient survives COVID-19 if they get the ICU bed (OR CI: 4.41 to 6.91). There was heterogeneity among different age groups of respondents about how much age of the patient mattered. Respondents under 30 years of age were more likely to choose young patients and old patients, and less likely to select patients aged 40-60 years old. For respondents in the age group 30-49 years old, as the age of the patient declined, their preference for saving the patient declined modestly in a linear fashion. Conclusions: Respondents favoured giving the last ICU bed available to the patient with the highest probability of surviving COVID-19. Public opinion suggests a simple guideline for physician choices based on likelihood of survival as opposed to the number of life-years saved. There was heterogeneity among respondents of different age groups for allocating the last ICU bed, as well as to the importance of the patient having an Alzheimer's-like disability (where religion of the respondent is important) and the gender of the patient (where the gender and racial identity are important).

description: We study flux tubes (strings) on the Higgs branches in supersymmetric gauge theories. In generic vacua on the Higgs branches strings were shown to develop long-range "tails" associated with massless fields, a characteristic feature of the Higgs branch (the only exception is the vacuum at the base of the Higgs branch). A natural infrared regularization for the above tails is provided by a finite string length L. We perform a numerical study of these strings in generic vacua. We focus on the simplest example of strings in N=1 supersymmetric QED with the Fayet-Iliopoulos term. In particular, we examine the accuracy of a logarithmic approximation (proposed earlier by Evlampiev and Yung) for the tension of such string solutions. In the Evlampiev-Yung formula the dependence of tension on the string length is logarithmic and the dependence on the geodesic length from the base of the Higgs branch is quadratic. We observe a remarkable agreement of our numerical results for the string tension with the Evlampiev-Yung analytic expression.

description: Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis aimed to determine how employment disruption during COVID-19, including working from home, was associated with IPV experience among cis-gendered women. Methods The International Sexual Health and Reproductive health (I-SHARE) study is a cross-sectional online survey implemented in 30 countries during the pandemic. Samples used convenience, online panel, and population-representative methods. IPV was a pre-specified primary outcome, measured using questions from a validated World Health Organisation instrument. Conditional logistic regression modelling was used to quantify the associations between IPV and changes to employment during COVID-19, adjusted for confounding. Results 13,416 cis-gender women, aged 18–97, were analysed. One third were from low and middle income countries, and two thirds from high income countries. The majority were heterosexual (82.7%), educated beyond secondary-level (72.4%) and childless (62.7%). During COVID-19 33.9% women worked from home, 14.6% lost employment, and 33.1% continued to work on-site. 15.5% experienced some form of IPV. Women working from home experienced greater odds of IPV than those working on-site (adjusted OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.12–1.74, p = 0.003). This finding was robust independent of sampling strategy and country income. The association was primarily driven by an increase in psychological violence, which was more prevalent than sexual or physical violence. The association was stronger in countries with high gender inequality. Conclusions Working from home may increase IPV risk globally. Workplaces offering working from home should collaborate with support services and research interventions to strengthen resiliency against IPV.

description: We present an algebraic framework to represent indefinite nested sums over hypergeometric expressions in difference rings. In order to accomplish this task, parts of Karr's difference field theory have been extended to a ring theory in which also the alternating sign can be expressed. The underlying machinery relies on algorithms that compute all solutions of a given parameterized telescoping equation. As a consequence, we can solve the telescoping and creative telescoping problem in such difference rings.

description: Esta investigación exploratoria examina la desigualdad socioespacial en la Delegación de Xochimilco en relación con el acceso a recursos para el ejercicio de los derechos humanos (DDHH). Utilizando un análisis socioespacial con metodologías cualitativas y cuantitativas, la investigación se apoya en un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) y bases de datos oficiales para demostrar la desigualdad en el acceso a bienes y servicios necesarios conforme a los Derechos Económicos, Sociales, Culturales y Ambientales (DESCA). Se reveló que las áreas más afectadas en cuanto al acceso a estos bienes y servicios son los asentamientos humanos irregulares y las zonas vulnerables. La interdependencia de los derechos humanos implica que la carencia de un derecho limita el pleno ejercicio de los demás. La investigación surgió de la necesidad de entender cómo ha aumentado la desigualdad socioespacial en Ciudad de México, donde en 2008 el 44.4% de la población vivía en pobreza, cifra que subió a 46.2% en 2014 (Coneval, 2016). A través de la experiencia voluntaria en Xochimilco, se observaron las distintas realidades y dificultades en el acceso a recursos y servicios básicos entre comunidades cercanas. Este estudio destaca la desigualdad espacial en el ejercicio de derechos y la necesidad de vincular los DESCA con la distribución de recursos. Se utilizarán datos del INEGI y CONEVAL para generar indicadores y mostrar la desigualdad en Xochimilco.

description: We reformulate the calculation of the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross sections based on the method of effective field theories. We assume that the scatterings are induced by the exchange of colored mediators, and construct the effective theories by integrating out the colored particles. All of the leading order matching conditions as well as the renormalization group equations are presented. We consider a Majorana fermion, and real scalar and vector bosons for the dark matter and show the results for each case. The treatment for the twist-2 operators is discussed in detail, and it is shown that the scale of evaluating their nucleon matrix elements does not have to be the hadronic scale. The effects of the QCD corrections are evaluated on the assumption that the masses of the colored mediators are much heavier than the electroweak scale. Our formulation is systematic and model-independent, and thus suitable to be implemented in numerical packages, such as micrOMEGAs and DarkSUSY.

description: The last decades have seen a growing interest in construction management amongst scholars, particularly, in how to apply supply chain management (SCM) strategies to improve logistics efficiency and project performance. Nevertheless, there is a lack of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) which integrate multiple quantitative methods to synthesise the literature on construction logistics and supply chain management (CLSCM) and analyse their trends during the last two decades. In this work, we concurrently deploy the rigorous six-step SLR protocol together with co-citation analysis, factor analysis, multidimensional scaling-based fuzzy k-means clustering, and keyword extraction and co-occurrence analysis to ascertain and examine clusters of CLSCM application. The results show that there are six established research clusters in CLSCM, namely, logistics and SCM for prefabricated construction, construction procurement, construction supply chain integration, green construction SCM, reverse logistics in construction and onsite construction logistics. Amongst these clusters, construction supply chain integration plays the most integral role. Informed by this ascertained knowledge structure, we explore the research trends during the period reviewed, propose a conceptual framework for CLSCM and suggest research avenues.

description: Over cosmic distances, astrophysical neutrino oscillations average out to a classical flavor propagation matrix $\mathscr{P}$. Thus, flavor ratios injected at the cosmic source $W_e,W_μ,W_τ$ evolve to flavor ratios at Earthly detectors $w_e,w_μ,w_τ$ according to $\vec{w}=\mathscr{P} \vec{W}$. The unitary constraint reduces the Euclidean octant to a "flavor triangle". We prove a theorem that the area of the Earthly flavor triangle is proportional to Det$(\mathscr{P})$. One more constraint would further reduce the dimensionality of the flavor triangle at Earth (two) to a line (one). We discuss four motivated such constraints. The first is the possibility of a vanishing determinant for $\mathscr{P}$. We give a formula for a unique $δ(θ_{ij}$'s) that yields the vanishing determinant. Next we consider the thinness of the Earthly flavor triangle. We relate this thinness to the small deviations of the two angles $θ_{32}$ and $θ_{13}$ from maximal mixing and zero, respectively. Then we consider the confusion resulting from the tau neutrino decay topologies, which are showers at low energy, "double-bang" showers in the PeV range, and a mixture of showers and tracks at even higher energies. We examine the simple low-energy regime, where there are just two topologies, $w_{\rm shower}=w_e+w_τ$ and $w_{\rm track}=w_μ$. We apply the statistical uncertainty to be expected from IceCube to this model. Finally, we consider ramifications of the expected lack of $ν_τ$ injection at cosmic sources. In particular, this constraint reduces the Earthly triangle to a boundary line of the triangle. Some tests of this "no $ν_τ$ injection" hypothesis are given.

description: Stationary, asymptotically flat spacetimes in general relativity can be characterized by their multipole moments. The moments have proved to be very useful tools for extracting information about the spacetime from various observables and, more recently, for establishing universalities in the structure of neutron stars. As a first step toward extending these methods beyond general relativity, we develop the formalism that allows one to define and calculate the multipole moments in scalar-tensor theories of gravity.

description: The production and anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) by microorganisms is widespread in organic-rich deep subseafloor sediments. Yet, the organisms that carry out these processes remain largely unknown. Here we identify members of the methane-cycling microbial community in deep subsurface, hydrate-containing sediments of the Peru Trench by targeting functional genes of the alpha subunit of methyl coenzyme M reductase (mcrA). The mcrA profile reveals a distinct community zonation that partially matches the zonation of methane oxidizing and –producing activity inferred from sulfate and methane concentrations and carbon-isotopic compositions of methane and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). McrA appears absent from sulfate-rich sediments that are devoid of methane, but mcrA sequences belonging to putatively methane-oxidizing ANME-1a-b occur from the zone of methane oxidation to several meters into the methanogenesis zone. A sister group of ANME-1a-b, referred to as ANME-1d, and members of putatively aceticlastic Methanothrix (formerly Methanosaeta) occur throughout the remaining methanogenesis zone. Analyses of 16S rRNA and mcrA-mRNA indicate that the methane-cycling community is alive throughout (rRNA to 230 mbsf) and active in at least parts of the sediment column (mRNA at 44 mbsf). Carbon-isotopic depletions of methane relative to DIC (−80 to −86‰) suggest mostly methane production by CO2 reduction and thus seem at odds with the widespread detection of ANME-1 and Methanothrix. We explain this apparent contradiction based on recent insights into the metabolisms of both ANME-1 and Methanothricaceae, which indicate the potential for methanogenetic growth by CO2 reduction in both groups.

description: We study theoretically "graphene-like" plasmonic metamaterials constituted by two-dimensional arrays of metallic nanoparticles, including perfect honeycomb structures with and without inversion symmetry, as well as generic bipartite lattices. The dipolar interactions between localised surface plasmons in different nanoparticles gives rise to collective plasmons that extend over the whole lattice. We study the band structure of collective plasmons and unveil its tunability with the orientation of the dipole moments associated with the localised surface plasmons. Depending on the dipole orientation, we identify a phase diagram of gapless or gapped phases in the collective plasmon dispersion. We show that the gapless phases in the phase diagram are characterised by collective plasmons behaving as massless chiral Dirac particles, in analogy with electrons in graphene. When the inversion symmetry of the honeycomb structure is broken, collective plasmons are described as gapped chiral Dirac modes with an energy-dependent Berry phase. We further relax the geometric symmetry of the honeycomb structure by analysing generic bipartite hexagonal lattices. In this case we study the evolution of the phase diagram and unveil the emergence of a sequence of topological phase transitions when one hexagonal sublattice is progressively shifted with respect to the other.

Inefficient rotational mixing in intermediate-mass stars: Evidence from secondary clump red-giant stars
Creators: name: Martinelli, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Stellar age determinations are affected by uncertainties due to internal mixing processes. The secondary clump of red-giant stars is a feature of ~1 Gyr-old stellar populations and is made of stars just massive enough to have ignited helium in non-degenerate conditions. The mass threshold for helium burning in non-degenerate conditions is sensitive to near-core mixing processes during hydrogen burning in convective cores, such as rotation-induced mixing. Several star clusters, considered to be single-age stellar populations of ~1 Gyr, present extended main-sequence turn offs and extended red clumps with secondary clump stars that cannot be explained using standard non-rotating stellar models, making them ideal tests for stellar models with rotation. We model the evolution of stars in the mass range of secondary clump stars (1.7−3 M⊙), with a distribution of rotation from 0 up to 90% of the critical rotation rate. We compute grids of models with two widely used prescriptions for rotational mixing, which significantly differ in mixing efficiency. We then used this grid of models to compute single-age synthetic stellar populations with varying distributions of initial rotation. Our synthetic stellar populations that best match all the observed properties of star clusters with an age of ~1 Gyr are those computed from the grid of rotating models with inefficient rotational mixing. Inefficient rotational mixing seems to be favoured also from a comparison of the surface abundances of our models with a sample of Galactic helium-burning stars in the same mass range. Our results suggest that rotation-induced mixing is inefficient in intermediate-mass stars.

description: Background: Rapid implementation of telehealth for cancer care during COVID-19 required innovative and adaptive solutions among oncology health care providers and professionals (HPPs). Objective: The aim of this qualitative study was to explore oncology HPPs’ experiences with telehealth implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study was conducted at Moffitt Cancer Center (Moffitt), an NCI (National Cancer Institute)-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prior to COVID-19, Moffitt piloted telehealth visits on a limited basis. After COVID-19, Moffitt rapidly expanded telehealth visits. Telehealth visits included real-time videoconferencing between HPPs and patients and virtual check-ins (ie, brief communication with an HPP by telephone only). We conducted semistructured interviews with 40 oncology HPPs who implemented telehealth during COVID-19. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for themes using Dedoose software (version 4.12). Results: Approximately half of the 40 participants were physicians (n=22, 55%), and one-quarter of the participants were advanced practice providers (n=10, 25%). Other participants included social workers (n=3, 8%), psychologists (n=2, 5%), dieticians (n=2, 5%), and a pharmacist (n=1, 3%). Five key themes were identified: (1) establishing and maintaining patient-HPP relationships, (2) coordinating care with other HPPs and informal caregivers, (3) adapting in-person assessments for telehealth, (4) developing workflows and allocating resources, and (5) future recommendations. Participants described innovative strategies for implementing telehealth, such as coordinating interdisciplinary visits with multiple HPPs and inviting informal caregivers (eg, spouse) to participate in telehealth visits. Health care workers discussed key challenges, such as workflow integration, lack of physical exam and biometric data, and overcoming the digital divide (eg, telehealth accessibility among patients with communication-related disabilities). Participants recommended policy advocacy to support telehealth (eg, medical licensure policies) and monitoring how telehealth affects patient outcomes and health care delivery. Conclusions: To support telehealth growth, implementation strategies are needed to ensure that HPPs and patients have the tools necessary to effectively engage in telehealth. At the same time, cancer care organizations will need to engage in advocacy to ensure that policies are supportive of oncology telehealth and develop systems to monitor the impact of telehealth on patient outcomes, health care quality, costs, and equity.

description: In single particle reconstruction (SPR) from cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), the 3D structure of a molecule needs to be determined from its 2D projection images taken at unknown viewing directions. Zvi Kam showed already in 1980 that the autocorrelation function of the 3D molecule over the rotation group SO(3) can be estimated from 2D projection images whose viewing directions are uniformly distributed over the sphere. The autocorrelation function determines the expansion coefficients of the 3D molecule in spherical harmonics up to an orthogonal matrix of size $(2l+1)\times (2l+1)$ for each $l=0,1,2,...$. In this paper we show how techniques for solving the phase retrieval problem in X-ray crystallography can be modified for the cryo-EM setup for retrieving the missing orthogonal matrices. Specifically, we present two new approaches that we term Orthogonal Extension and Orthogonal Replacement, in which the main algorithmic components are the singular value decomposition and semidefinite programming. We demonstrate the utility of these approaches through numerical experiments on simulated data.

Theory of spin motive force in one-dimentional antiferromagnetic domain wall

description: We present the theory of the spin motive force in antiferromagnets. We consider a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic domain wall strongly coupled with conduction electrons via an exchange interaction. We carry out a unitary transformation that rotates the spin coordinate system of the conduction electron locally, so that the quantization axis is in the direction of the localized spin. By numerically solving the time-dependent Schr$ö$dinger equation, we clearly demonstrate that the spin motive force acts on the conduction electron. The result suggests that there is no distinction between antiferromagnets and ferromagnets from the view point of the basic phenomenon relevant to spintronics.
