description: Mimetic methods discretize divergence by restricting the Gauss theorem to mesh cells. Because point clouds lack such geometric entities, construction of a compatible meshfree divergence remains a challenge. In this work, we define an abstract Meshfree Mimetic Divergence (MMD) operator on point clouds by contraction of field and virtual face moments. This MMD satisfies a discrete divergence theorem, provides a discrete local conservation principle, and is first-order accurate. We consider two MMD instantiations. The first one assumes a background mesh and uses generalized moving least squares (GMLS) to obtain the necessary field and face moments. This MMD instance is appropriate for settings where a mesh is available but its quality is insufficient for a robust and accurate mesh-based discretization. The second MMD operator retains the GMLS field moments but defines virtual face moments using computationally efficient weighted graph-Laplacian equations. This MMD instance does not require a background grid and is appropriate for applications where mesh generation creates a computational bottleneck. It allows one to trade an expensive mesh generation problem for a scalable algebraic one, without sacrificing compatibility with the divergence operator. We demonstrate the approach by using the MMD operator to obtain a virtual finite-volume discretization of conservation laws on point clouds. Numerical results in the paper confirm the mimetic properties of the method and show that it behaves similarly to standard finite volume methods.

On String Tensions in Supersymmetric SU(M) Gauge Theory

description: In some models of N=1 supersymmetric SU(M) gauge dynamics (hep-th/9503163 and hep-th/9707244), the tension of a string ending on q external quarks is proportional to sin(pi q/M), q=1,..., M-1. In this paper we calculate the ratios of the q-string tensions using the recently derived type IIB gravity duals of N=1 SUSY gauge theories. Far in the IR these gravity duals contain a three-sphere with M units of R-R 3-form flux which, upon S-duality, turns into NS-NS 3-form flux. The confining q-string is described by a D3-brane wrapping a two-sphere inside the three-sphere with q units of world volume flux. For one of the gravity dual backgrounds (Maldacena-Nunez) a D3-brane probe calculation exactly reproduces the sin(pi q/M) dependence, while for another (Klebanov-Strassler) we find approximate agreement. We speculate on the connection of the q-string tensions with D-brane tensions in the SU(2) WZW model.

description: Molecular interaction of the 3,4-methylenedioxy-β-nitrostyrene (MNS), an inhibitor of platelet aggregation with the main transport protein, albumin from human serum (HSA) was explored using absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy in combination with in silico analyses. The MNS–HSA complexation was corroborated from the fluorescence and absorption spectral results. Implication of static quenching mechanism for MNS–HSA system was predicted from the Stern–Volmer constant, KSV-temperature relationship as well as the bimolecular quenching rate constant, kq values. Stabilization of the complex was affirmed by the value of the binding constant (Ka = 0.56-1.48 × 104 M−1). Thermodynamic data revealed that the MNS–HSA association was spontaneously driven mainly through hydrophobic interactions along with van der Waal’s interaction and H-bonds. These results were well supported by in silico interpretations. Far-UV and near-UV CD spectral results manifested small variations in the protein’s secondary and tertiary structures, respectively, while three-dimensional fluorescence spectra displayed microenvironmental fluctuations around protein’s fluorophores, upon MNS binding. Significant improvement in the protein’s thermostability was evident from the temperature-stability results of MNS-bound HSA. Binding locus of MNS, as identified by competitive drug displacement findings as well as in silico analysis, was found to be located in subdomain IIA (Sudlow’s site I) of the protein.

description: We investigate what can be learned at a linear collider about the sector of electroweak symmetry breaking from a precise measurement of the Higgs boson production cross section through the process e+e- -> hZ. We focus on deviations from the Standard Model arising in its minimal supersymmetric extension. The analysis is performed within two realistic future scenarios, taking into account all prospective experimental errors on supersymmetric particle masses as well as uncertainties from unknown higher order corrections. We find that information on tan beta and M_A could be obtained from a cross section measurement with a precision of 0.5 - 1 %. Alternatively, information could be obtained on the gaugino mass parameters M_2 and mu if they are relatively small, M_2, mu approximately 200 GeV.

Subsystem trace distance in low-lying states of $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theories

description: We report on a systematic replica approach to calculate the subsystem trace distance for a quantum field theory. This method has been recently introduced in [J. Zhang, P. Ruggiero, P. Calabrese, Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 141602 (2019)], of which this work is a completion. The trace distance between two reduced density matrices $ρ_A$ and $σ_A$ is obtained from the moments $\textrm{tr} (ρ_A-σ_A)^n$ and taking the limit $n\to1$ of the traces of the even powers. We focus here on the case of a subsystem consisting of a single interval of length $\ell$ embedded in the low lying eigenstates of a one-dimensional critical system of length $L$, a situation that can be studied exploiting the path integral form of the reduced density matrices of two-dimensional conformal field theories. The trace distance turns out to be a scale invariant universal function of $\ell/L$. Here we complete our previous work by providing detailed derivations of all results and further new formulas for the distances between several low-lying states in two-dimensional free massless compact boson and fermion theories. Remarkably, for one special case in the bosonic theory and for another in the fermionic one, we obtain the exact trace distance, as well as the Schatten $n$-distance, for an interval of arbitrary length, while in generic case we have a general form for the first term in the expansion in powers of $\ell/L$. The analytical predictions in conformal field theories are tested against exact numerical calculations in XX and Ising spin chains, finding perfect agreement. As a byproduct, new results in two-dimensional CFT are also obtained for other entanglement-related quantities, such as the relative entropy and the fidelity.

description: The significance of the broken ray transform (BRT) is due to its occurrence in a number of modalities spanning optical, x-ray, and nuclear imaging. When data are indexed by the scatter location, the BRT is both linear and shift invariant. Analyzing the BRT as a linear system provides a new perspective on the inverse problem. In this framework we contrast prior inversion formulas and identify numerical issues. This has practical benefits as well. We clarify the extent of data required for global reconstruction by decomposing the BRT as a linear combination of cone beam transforms. Additionally we leverage the two dimensional Fourier transform to derive new inversion formulas that are computationally efficient for arbitrary scatter angles. Results of numerical simulations are presented.

description: The evolution of Earth's early atmosphere and the emergence of habitable conditions on our planet are intricately coupled with the development and duration of the magma ocean phase during the early Hadean period (4 to 4.5 Ga). In this paper, we deal with the evolution of the steam atmosphere during the magma ocean period. We obtain the outgoing longwave radiation using a line-by-line radiative transfer code GARLIC. Our study suggests that an atmosphere consisting of pure H$_{2}$O, built as a result of outgassing extends the magma ocean lifetime to several million years. The thermal emission as a function of solidification timescale of magma ocean is shown. We study the effect of thermal dissociation of H$_{2}$O at higher temperatures by applying atmospheric chemical equilibrium which results in the formation of H$_{2}$ and O$_{2}$ during the early phase of the magma ocean. A 1-6\% reduction in the OLR is seen. We also obtain the effective height of the atmosphere by calculating the transmission spectra for the whole duration of the magma ocean. An atmosphere of depth ~100 km is seen for pure water atmospheres. The effect of thermal dissociation on the effective height of the atmosphere is also shown. Due to the difference in the absorption behavior at different altitudes, the spectral features of H$_{2}$ and O$_{2}$ are seen at different altitudes of the atmosphere. Therefore, these species along with H$_{2}$O have a significant contribution to the transmission spectra and could be useful for placing observational constraints upon magma ocean exoplanets.

We consider the possibility that a gravitini condensate forms and look at the implications for the resultant spacetime structure. We find that all such condensate solutions have a condensate and/or naked curvature singularity.

description: A new class of Weyl invariant backgrounds are presented in terms of the metric $G_{μν}$ and the anti-symmetric Kalb-Ramond fields $B_{μν}$. The ten-dimensional spacetime is a product of four-dimensional flat spacetime and curved six-dimensional spacetime having nonvanishing Ricci tensors. The non-vanishing Kalb-Ramond field strengths cannot be written globally as $H=dB$, being of the monopole type. Nevertheless they define homogeneous spacetime with no singularity.

description: We argue that the worldvolume theories of D-branes probing orbifolds with discrete torsion develop, in the large quiver limit, new non-commutative directions. This provides an explicit `deconstruction' of a wide class of noncommutative theories. This also provides insight into the physical meaning of discrete torsion and its relation to the T-dual B field. We demonstrate that the strict large quiver limit reproduces the matrix theory construction of higher-dimensional D-branes, and argue that finite `fuzzy moose' theories provide novel regularizations of non-commutative theories and explicit string theory realizations of gauge theories on fuzzy tori. We also comment briefly on the relation to NCOS, (2,0) and little string theories.

description: Using ideas of the Dowker duality we prove that the Rips complex at scale $r$ is homotopy equivalent to the nerve of a cover consisting of sets of prescribed diameter. We then develop a functorial version of the Nerve theorem coupled with the Dowker duality, which is presented as a Functorial Dowker-Nerve Diagram. These results are incorporated into a systematic theory of filtrations arising from covers. As a result we provide a general framework for reconstruction of spaces by Rips complexes, a short proof of the reconstruction result of Hausmann, and completely classify reconstruction scales for metric graphs. Furthermore we introduce a new extraction method for homology of a space based on nested Rips complexes at a single scale, which requires no conditions on neighboring scales nor the Euclidean structure of the ambient space.

description: During recent decades, data from space missions have provided strong evidence of deep liquid oceans underneath a thin outer icy crust on several moons of Jupiter, particularly Europa. But these observations have also raised many unanswered questions regarding the oceanic motions generated under the ice, or the mechanisms leading to the geological features observed on Europa. By means of direct numerical simulations of Europa's interior, we show here that Jupiter's magnetic field generates a retrograde oceanic jet at the equator, which may influence the global dynamics of Europa's ocean and contribute to the formation of some of its surface features by applying a unidirectional torque on Europa's ice shell.

description: Containers have undoubtedly taken the lead in the landscape of cloud-native applications, but their security limitations have prompted a revisit to conventional VMs. This renewed interest revolves around implementing additional security measures, particularly by confining containers within VM or microVM sandboxes. While this approach offers enhanced security, it introduces complexities in effectively optimizing resources on physical nodes.

On the other hand, unikernels emerge as a compelling alternative —- a streamlined application kernel that preserves the benefits of VM isolation. However, the challenge lies in seamlessly integrating unikernels into the existing container ecosystem.

In this talk we present urunc, a CRI-compatible container runtime that spawns unikernels, packaged in OCI images. We dig in the internals of urunc, providing insights into support for various hypervisors, network and storage handling, as well as the integration with high-level orchestration frameworks (such as k8s). At the same time, we elaborate on the network setup implications when unikernels and generic containers are mixed in the context of k8s.

description: Music therapists are expected to understand the influence of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation on the therapeutic process, yet may not be receiving education that adequately prepares them to support LGBTQ clients. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the impact of a one-hour educational training for music therapy students on considerations for working with LGBTQ clients. The presentation included information about terminology, discrimination, healthcare discrimination, music therapy research, musical considerations, and additional resources provided as a handout. The minority stress theory and queer theory informed the development of the presentation. Exploratory analysis revealed that participants (N = 5) demonstrated significant improvement in perceptions of their preparedness to support LGBTQ clients following the presentation, Z = 2.03, p = .042, r = 0.91, particularly regarding terminology and healthcare disparities. Although changes in knowledge did not reach statistical significance, measures of central tendency indicated some improvement following the presentation. Music therapy students made positive statements about knowledge gained from the training and expressed wanting to learn more about LGBTQ advocacy and discrimination in healthcare. Results suggest that a one-hour training may be useful for increasing music therapy students’ perceptions of preparedness to work with LGBTQ clients.

description: Self-propelled particles have been experimentally shown to orbit spherical obstacles and move along surfaces. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate this behavior for a hydrodynamic squirmer interacting with spherical objects and flat walls using three different methods of approximately solving the Stokes equations: The method of reflections, which is accurate in the far field; lubrication theory, which describes the close-to-contact behavior; and a lattice Boltzmann solver that accurately accounts for near-field flows. The method of reflections predicts three distinct behaviors: orbiting/sliding, scattering, and hovering, with orbiting being favored for lower curvature as in the literature. Surprisingly, it also shows backward orbiting/sliding for sufficiently strong pushers, caused by fluid recirculation in the gap between the squirmer and the obstacle leading to strong forces opposing forward motion. Lubrication theory instead suggests that only hovering is a stable point for the dynamics. We therefore employ lattice Boltzmann to resolve this discrepancy and we qualitatively reproduce the richer far-field predictions. Our results thus provide insight into a possible mechanism of mobility reversal mediated solely through hydrodynamic interactions with a surface.

description: The universal hypermultiplet moduli space metric in the type-IIA superstring theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold is related to integrable systems. The instanton corrections in four dimensions arise due to multiple wrapping of BPS membranes and fivebranes around certain (supersymmetric) cycles of Calabi-Yau. The exact (non-perturbative) metrics can be calculated in the special cases of (i) the D-instantons (or the wrapped D2-branes) in the absence of fivebranes, and (ii) the fivebrane instantons with vanishing charges, in the absence of D-instantons. The solutions of the first type are governed by the three-dimensional Toda equation, whereas the solutions of the second type are governed by the particular Painleve VI equation.

description: Introduction: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are the first healthcare contact for the majority of severely ill patients. Physiologic measures collected by EMS, when incorporated into a prognostic score, may provide important information on patient illness severity. This study compares the predictive ability of 3 common prognostic scores for predicting clinical outcomes in EMS patients. Methods: Discrimination and calibration for predicting the primary outcome of hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes of 2-day mortality and ED disposition, were assessed for each of the scores using a one-year cohort of patients transported to hospital by EMS in Alberta, Canada. For each score, binary logistic regression was used to predict hospital mortality and 2-day mortality and ordinal logistic regression was used to predict ED disposition. Discrimination for each outcome was assessed using C-statistics, and calibration was assessed using calibration curves comparing predicted versus observed outcomes. Results: The Critical Illness Prediction [CIP], Modified Early Warning Score [MEWS], and National Early Warning Score [NEWS] were compared using 121,837 adult patients who were transported by paramedics. All scores had good discrimination for hospital mortality (C-statistic CIP: 0.79, MEWS: 0.71, NEWS: 0.78) and 2-day mortality (CIP:0.85, MEWS: 0.80, NEWS:0.85) but only moderate discrimination for ED disposition (CIP: 0.68, MEWS: 0.61, NEWS: 0.66). Calibration was reliable for hospital mortality in all scores but over-predicted risk for 2-day mortality at higher scores. Overall, the CIP score had the best discrimination, good calibration, and the greatest range of predicted probabilities (0.01 at a CIP score of 0 to 0.92 at a CIP score of 8) for hospital mortality. Conclusions: Prognostic scores using physiologic measures assessed by paramedics have good predictive ability for hospital mortality. These scores, particularly the CIP score, may be considered as a tool for mortality risk stratification or as a general measure of illness severity for patients included in EMS studies.

title: Proofs and Politics: Re-assembling evidence-informed health policy in global health as a matter of and for care
Creators: name: Jensen, Nele
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2022

description: Demands to ground policies and practices in objective scientific proofs have become ubiquitous in global health. This thesis problematizes such demands as they are articulated in efforts to foster evidence-informed health policymaking (EIHP) in the Global South. With an empirical focus on the World Health Organization (WHO)-backed Evidence-Informed Policy Network EVIPNet and its ‘country node’ in Uganda, I show that Ugandan health professionals strive for EIHP yet face conflicting requirements for evidence that is both globally excellent and locally relevant. Rather than critiquing EIHP as a hegemonic ‘evidentiary regime’ or debunking the desire for trustworthy scientific evidence, this thesis carefully engages with concerns for EIHP while examining the problematic questions articulated by demands to link proofs presumed by evidence-making processes and politics in practice. Based on archival research, document analysis and ethnographic methods, this thesis seeks to re-assemble EIHP as a matter of and for care. I show that current EIHP frameworks focus on circulating global scientific evidence on ‘what works’ and its adaption to local contexts. By purporting to integrate objective evidence with subjective local values, however, these frameworks must insist on the separatedness of facts and values, of proofs and politics. I argue that in assigning to science the role as rational solution provider, EIHP frameworks pay insufficient attention to the many concerns and questions that emerge with the situated dimensions of a policy problem – and thus risk failing to link proofs and politics. Drawing on the work of Isabelle Stengers, Maria Puig de la Bellacasa, and Helen Verran, among others, I propose that what may be called for is the conceptualisation of evidence-making as a situated and contingent achievement; that is, for a careful and generative critique not against evidence, but for possible re-formulations of what ‘good’ evidence may be and how it may come (in-)to matter.
On temperature-dependent anisotropies of upper critical field and London penetration depth

description: We show on a few examples of one-band materials with spheroidal Fermi surfaces and anisotropic order parameters that anisotropies $γ_H$ of the upper critical field and $γ_λ$ of the London penetration depth depend on temperature, the feature commonly attributed to multi-band superconductors. The parameters $γ_H$ and $γ_λ$ may have opposite temperature dependencies or may change in the same direction depending on Fermi surface shape and on character of the gap nodes. For two-band systems, the behavior of anisotropies is affected by the ratios of bands densities of states, Fermi velocities, anisotropies, and order parameters. We investigate in detail the conditions determining the directions of temperature dependences of the two anisotropy factors.

description: We study counter-terms of one- and two-point Green functions of some special operators in ${\cal N}=1$ SYM from their SUGRA duals from the consideration of AdS/CFT or gauge/gravity correspondence. We consider both the Maldacena-Nunez solution and the Klebanov-Strassler-Tseytlin solution that are proposed to be SUGRA duals of ${\cal N}=1$ SYM. We obtain radial/energy-scale relation for each solution by comparing SUGRA calculations with the field theory results. Using these relations we evaluate the $β$-function of ${\cal N}=1$ SYM. We find that the leading order term can be accurately obtained for both solutions and the higher order terms exhibit some ambiguities. We discuss the origin of these ambiguities and conclude that more studies are needed to check whether these SUGRA solutions are exactly dual to ${\cal N}=1$ SYM.

description: Abstract

Background: Antenatal mother experiences many problems during pregnancy. The most important one is lower back pain. It is a musculoskeletal condition that occurs between 30 to 78% of the time during pregnancy. Objective: The purpose of the current study is to determine the effectiveness of backstretch exercise on low backache, blood pressure, stress among pregnant women during the third trimester. Materials and Methods: A quantitative approach true experimental with pre- and post-test design. The study was conducted with 100 antenatal mothers who were recruited using purposive sampling technique divided into 2 groups. In both groups, a pre-test was done. Low back pain was assessed using the Eric.L. Linlow scale, blood pressure was monitored and level of stress was assessed by a modified perceived stress scale (PSS), followed by that back stretching exercise was initiated for the duration of 20 minutes daily in the morning and in the evening for about 25 days. For the control group, routine care was given and after the 26th day it was re-analysed. Result: The study result concluded that back stretching exercise reduces the level of pain, stress and blood pressure. A calculated independent ‘t’ test value of r = 13.529 was found to be statistically significant at p<0. 001 with post-test level of pain. Conclusion: Backstretch exercise for low back pain administered among antenatal mothers in the experimental group was found to be effective in reduction of pain, stress and blood pressure.
Detection of B_s->mu mu at the Tevatron Run II and Constraints on the SUSY Parameter Space

description: A measurement of the branching ratio for the rare decay mode B_s->mu mu at the Tevatron is an opportunity to test various supersymmetric scenarios. We investigate the prospects for studying this mode in Run II and estimate that CDF would be sensitive to this decay for a branching ratio > 1.2 \times 10^{-8} with 15 \invfb (or, if a similar analysis holds for D0, >6.5\times 10^{-9} for the combined data). We calculate the branching ratio in minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) parameter space, and find that tanβ> 30 can be probed. (This mSUGRA parameter space cannot be probed by direct production of SUSY particles at Run II.) Including other experimental constraints on the mSUGRA parameter space, one finds that CDF \bsmumu measurements would be able to cover the full mSUGRA parameter space for tanβ= 50 if the muon g_μ - 2 anomaly exceeds \sim 11 \times 10^{-10}, and about half the allowed parameter space for tanβ= 40. A large branching ratio > 7(14) \times 10^{-8} (feasible with only 2 \invfb) would be sufficient to exclude the mSUGRA model for tanβ\leq 50(55). Dark matter neutralino-proton detection cross sections are examined in the allowed region, and should be large enough to be accessible to future planned experiments. Combined measurements of \bsmumu the Higgs mass m_h and the muon g_μ-2 anomaly would be sufficient to determine the μ>0 mSUGRA parameters (or show the model is inconsistent with the data). We also briefly discuss the \bsmumu decay in R parity violating models. There, for some models, the branching ratio can be large enough to be detected even for small tanβand large \mhalf.
