description: A news report described how vaccination rates of 92% were achieved in a Florida nursing home. The AARP published a list of employers who were paying their employees $15 to $200 to be vaccinated. Given the competing issues of economic contraction and the need for herd immunity to provide for a fully functioning economy, it made me wonder if it might be worthwhile to simply everyone to get vaccinated. Not to be crude about it, but financial incentives can be very powerful. By paying people, you are changing the way that they process risk. Currently, in May 2021, there is a shortage of vaccines, and demand outpaces production. There is real reason, however, to consider the issue of vaccine hesitancy in relation to a universal incentive scheme that results in very high levels of vaccination. My purpose here is to describe some back-of-the-envelope calculations related to an oversimplified and universal program of simply paying everyone who could receive the vaccine $1,000 USD.

description: We consider a biphasic continuum model for avascular tumour growth in two spatial dimensions, in which a cell phase and a fluid phase follow conservation of mass and momentum. A limiting nutrient that follows a diffusion process controls the birth and death rate of the tumour cells. The cell volume fraction, cell velocity--fluid pressure system, and nutrient concentration are the model variables. A coupled system of a hyperbolic conservation law, \cred{a viscous fluid model}, and a parabolic diffusion equation governs the dynamics of the model variables. The tumour boundary moves with the normal velocity of the outermost layer of cells, and this time--dependence is a challenge in designing and implementing a stable and fast numerical scheme. We recast the model into a form where the hyperbolic equation is defined on a fixed extended domain and retrieve the tumour boundary as the interface at which the cell volume fraction decreases below a threshold value. This procedure eliminates the need to track the tumour boundary explicitly and the computationally expensive re--meshing of the time--dependent domains. A numerical scheme based on finite volume methods for the hyperbolic conservation law, Lagrange $\mathbb{P}_2 - \mathbb{P}_1$ Taylor--Hood finite element method for the \cred{viscous} system, and mass--lumped finite element method for the parabolic equations is implemented in two spatial dimensions, and several cases are studied. We demonstrate the versatility of the numerical scheme in catering for irregular and asymmetric initial tumour geometries. We present numerical simulations for both cases and the results are consistent with theoretical and heuristic expectations such as early linear growth rate and preservation of radial symmetry when the boundary conditions are symmetric.

description: We use a mathematical framework that we introduced in a previous paper to study geometrical and quantum mechanical aspects of a Hall system with finite size and general boundary conditions. Geometrical structures control possibly the integral or fractionnal quantization of the Hall conductivity depending on the value of $NB/2π$ ($N$ is the number of charge carriers and $B$ is the magnetic field). When $NB/2π$ is irrationnal, we show that monovalued wave functions can be constructed only on the graph of a free group with two generators. When $NB/2π$ is rationnal, the relevant space becomes a puncturated Riemann surface. We finally discuss our results from a phenomenological viewpoint.

description: To improve asthma morbidity and mortality in the UK, national asthma guidelines recommend referral to \ specialist care for the following high-risk groups, after a hospital admission for asthma, ≥3 courses of oral corticosteroids (OCS) in 12 months, an incident high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) prescription or addition of a fourth asthma drug to a patient’s maintenance regimen. We sought to assess the prevalence and temporal change of referrals to identify unmet needs. We used UK electronic healthcare records, 2006–2017, to identify high-risk asthma patients managed within primary care. Referrals to respiratory clinics in secondary care were measured, within 3 months before or 6 months after, an incident ICS, third OCS in a year, or fourth asthma drug; or 12 months after a hospital admission for asthma. A nested case-control and conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with receiving a referral. A total of 246,116 asthma patients were eligible. There was a slight increase in secondary care referrals from 2014 onwards but the percentage remained low with <20% in each high-risk group referred for specialist care. The factors in the past year that were most strongly associated with receiving a referral were a hospital admission or A&E visit for asthma, ≥3 OCS courses, ≥2 add-on drugs, or high-dose ICS prescription. The majority of high-risk asthma patients were not referred for specialist care, as recommended by national guidelines. Compared to other risk factors, those admitted to hospital were most likely to receive a referral.

description: Although the problem of similar language translation has been an area of research interest for many years, yet it is still far from being solved. In this paper, we study the performance of two popular approaches: statistical and neural. We conclude that both methods yield similar results; however, the performance varies depending on the language pair. While the statistical approach outperforms the neural one by a difference of 6 BLEU points for the Spanish-Portuguese language pair, the proposed neural model surpasses the statistical one by a difference of 2 BLEU points for Czech-Polish. In the former case, the language similarity (based on perplexity) is much higher than in the latter case. Additionally, we report negative results for the system combination with back-translation. Our TALP-UPC system submission won 1st place for Czech-to-Polish and 2nd place for Spanish-to-Portuguese in the official evaluation of the 1st WMT Similar Language Translation task.

description: Active packaging (AP) has been developed to improve the safety, quality and integrity of food, and minimise food waste, while its application in meat is scarce. This review aims to describe meat production and consumption culture in China and New Zealand to provide the context for packaging innovation requirements, focusing on the emerging opportunities for AP to be used for the improvement of the shelf-life of pre-rigor, aged, and frozen-thawed meat products. Sustainable polymers utilised in the manufacturing of AP, manufacturing techniques, the release mechanisms of actives, and legal and regulatory constraints are also discussed. Diverse market compositions and consumption cultures in China and New Zealand require different packaging solutions to extend the shelf-life of meat. AP containing antimicrobials, moisture regulating agents, and antioxidants may be used for pre-rigor, dry- and wet-aged products and in improving the quality and shelf-life of frozen-thawed meat. Further innovations using sustainably produced polymers for AP, along with incorporating active compounds of multiple functions for effectively improving meat quality and shelf-life are necessary. Challenges remain to resolve issues with scaling the technology to commercially relevant volumes as well as complying with the rigorous legal and regulatory constraints in various countries.

description: The description of string-theoretic s-branes at g_s=0 as exact worldsheet CFTs with a (lambda cosh X^0) or (lambda e^(X^0)) boundary interaction is considered. Due to the imaginary-time periodicity of the interaction under X^0 -> X^0 + 2 pi i, these configurations have intriguing similarities to black hole or de Sitter geometries. For example, the open string pair production as seen by an Unruh detector is thermal at temperature T = 1/4 pi. It is shown that, despite the rapid time dependence of the s-brane, there exists an exactly thermal mixed state of open strings. The corresponding boundary state is constructed for both the bosonic and superstring cases. This state defines a long-distance Euclidean effective field theory whose light modes are confined to the s-brane. At the critical value of the coupling lambda=1/2, the boundary interaction simply generates an SU(2) rotation by pi from Neumman to Dirichlet boundary conditions. The lambda=1/2 s-brane reduces to an array of sD-branes (D-branes with a transverse time dimension) on the imaginary time axis. The long range force between a (bosonic) sD-brane and an ordinary D-brane is shown from the annulus diagram to be 11/12 times the force between two D-branes. The linearized time-dependent RR field F=dC produced by an sD-brane in superstring theory is explicitly computed and found to carry a half unit of s-charge Q_s=\int_S *F=1/2, where S is any transverse spacelike slice.

description: Predaceous and parasitic insects provide control of important citrus pests. However, many pesticides are toxic to these beneficials. Using California citrus grower survey data, this article tests whether landscape-level use of pesticides affects the presence of and reliance on Aphytis melinus, an important beneficial insect. Results show that landscape-level pesticide use decreases the presence of A. melinus and increases reliance on insecticides. Pesticide use on non-citrus crops has a significant negative effect on the presence of Aphytis melinus, suggesting a cross-crop spatial externality. Our findings illustrate that regulations designed to address cross-crop effects on beneficial insects can increase social welfare.

description: We investigate satellite orbital drag effects at low-Earth orbit (LEO) associated with thermosphere heating during magnetic storms caused by coronal mass ejections. CHAllenge Mini-satellite Payload (CHAMP) and Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) neutral density data are used to compute orbital drag. Storm-to-quiet density comparisons are performed with background densities obtained by the Jacchia-Bowman 2008 (JB2008) empirical model. Our storms are grouped in different categories regarding their intensities as indicated by minimum values of the SYM-H index. We then perform superposed epoch analyses with storm main phase onset as zero epoch time. In general, we find that orbital drag effects are larger for CHAMP (lower altitudes) in comparison to GRACE (higher altitudes). Results show that storm-time drag effects manifest first at high latitudes, but for extreme storms particularly observed by GRACE stronger orbital drag effects occur during early main phase at low/equatorial latitudes, probably due to heating propagation from high latitudes. We find that storm-time orbital decay along the satellites' path generally increases with storm intensity, being stronger and faster for the most extreme events. For these events, orbital drag effects decrease faster probably due to elevated cooling effects caused by nitric oxide, which introduce modeled density uncertainties during storm recovery phase. Errors associated with total orbit decay introduced by JB2008 are generally the largest for the strongest storms, and increase during storm times, particular during recovery phases. We discuss the implication of these uncertainties for the prediction of collision between space objects at LEO during magnetic storms.

We apply the development idea of low-carbon economy, introduce the third-party logistics companies, establish distribution center of cold chain logistics of agricultural products, and strengthen information sharing, to reengineer the process of cold chain logistics of agricultural products in China. The results show that applying low-carbon economy to process reengineering of cold chain logistics of agricultural products, has advantages of increasing added value of products, promoting scale merit and abating lag, plays a role in promoting emission reduction, high efficiency and environmental protection in the process of cold chain logistics of agricultural products in China.

description: The physical states in a world-volume model of a non-critical 3-brane are systematically constructed using techniques of four-dimensional conformal field theories on R*S^3 developed recently. Invariant combinations of creation modes under a special conformal transformation provide building blocks of physical states. Any state can be created by acting with such building blocks on a conformally invariant vacuum in an invariant way under the other conformal charges: the Hamiltonian and rotation generators on S^3. We explicitly construct building blocks for scalar, vector and gravitational fields, and classify them as finite types.

description: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with varying clinical presentations, severity and ability to achieve asthma control. The present study aimed to characterize clinical phenotypes of asthma in an Indian cohort of subjects using a cluster analysis approach. Patients with confirmed asthma (N = 100) and at least 6-months of follow-up data, identified by retrospective chart review, were included in this study. Demographics, age at disease onset, disease duration, body mass index, serial spirometry and allergen sensitization were assessed. Asthma control was assessed prospectively using Global Initiative for Asthma and Asthma Control Test. R version 3.4.3 was used for statistical analysis. Ward’s minimum-variance hierarchical clustering method was performed using an agglomerative (bottom-up) approach. To compare differences between clusters, analysis of variance using Kruskal-Wallis test (continuous variables) and chi-square test (categorical variables) was used. Cluster analysis of 100 treatment-naive patients with asthma identified four clusters. Cluster 1, (N = 40), childhood onset of disease, normal body weight, equal gender distribution and achieved normal lung function. Cluster 2 (N = 16) included adolescent disease-onset, obese, majority males and had poor attainment of maximum lung functions. Cluster 3 (N = 20) were older, late-onset of disease, obese, majority male and had poor attainment of maximum lung function. Cluster 4 (N = 24) had adult-onset of disease, obese, predominantly female and achieved normal lung function. In an Indian cohort of well-characterized patients with asthma, cluster analysis identified four distinct clinical phenotypes of asthma, two of which had poor attainment of maximum lung functions.

description: We derive the exact density profile of a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) which has dipole-dipole interactions as well as the usual s-wave contact interaction, in the Thomas-Fermi limit. Remarkably, despite the non-local anisotropic nature of the dipolar interaction, the density turns out to be an inverted parabola, just as in the pure s-wave case, but with a modified aspect ratio. The ``scaling'' solution approach of Kagan, Surkov, and Shlyapnikov [Phys. Rev. A 54, 1753 (1996)] and Castin and Dum [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77}, 5315 (1996)] for a BEC in a time-dependent trap can therefore be applied to a dipolar BEC, and we use it to obtain the exact monopole and quadrupole shape oscillation frequencies.

description: We study the topologically twisted index of $\mathcal{N}=6$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theory with $U(N)_k \times U(N)_{-k}$ gauge group in the 't Hooft limit, that is, for $N, k \, \to \infty$ with $λ=N/k$ fixed. In the regime where $λ$ is fixed and large we find an analytical expression for the leading order term of the index. The leading term of the index matches precisely the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the dual asymptotically AdS$_4$ magnetically charged black holes embedded in IIA supergrvity on AdS$_4\times \mathbb{CP}^3$, after a standard Legendre transformation. We numerically explore the genus expansion of the topologically twisteed index beyond the leading order, focusing on the genus one contribution, that is, $N^0$. We find qualitative agreement with the topological expansion of the free energy on $S^3$ at genus one. Our logarithmic in $λ$ term constitutes a prediction for the one-loop effective action on the IIA supergravity side.

description: Certification schemes for forest products are understood by many as a way to promote sustainable resource use when it is impossible to rely on direct enforcement of process standards. Based on the concept of ‘Self-Enforcing Contracts’, this study develops a market model that simulates the simultaneous partial equilibrium for both certified wood units and physically identical units that are produced without observing certain ecological standards. By illustrating the interplay of supply and demand in a world characterised by incomplete information, opportunistic behaviour and free riding, the model simulations, along with some empirical evidence from tropical forestry, indicate that certification will very likely fall short of preventing degradation of tropical forests. This is especially true in politically and economically unstable situations. Consequently, institutions other than markets are needed to govern the way natural resources are used. The problem of tropical forest degradation must be resolved primarily through forest legislation and improved governance structures and not through eco-labelling. Zertifizierungssysteme für Forstprodukte werden häufig als ein Weg gesehen, eine nachhaltige Ressourcennutzung auch dann zu befördern, wenn eine direkte Durchsetzung von Prozessstandards unmöglich erscheint. Ausgehend vom Konzept ‘sich selbst durchsetzender Vereinbarungen’ wird in diesem Beitrag ein Model entwickelt, um das simultane partielle Marktgleichgewicht sowohl für zertifiziertes als auch für physisch identisches Holz, das ohne Beachtung bestimmter Umweltstandards produziert wird, darzustellen. Dabei wird das Zusammenspiel von Angebot und Nachfrage in einer Welt, die durch unvollständige Information, opportunistisches Verhalten und das Auftreten von Trittbrettfahrern gekennzeichnet ist, simuliert. Die Modellsimulationen sowie einige empirische Anhaltspunkte aus dem Bereich der tropischen Forstwirtschaft legen nahe, dass die Zertifizierung alleine sehr wahrscheinlich nicht ausreichen wird, die weitere Degradation tropischer Wälder zu verhindern. Dies gilt vor allem für politisch und ökonomisch instabile Länder. Folglich bedarf es neben Märkten anderer Institutionen, um die Art und Weise, wie natürliche Ressourcen genutzt werden, zu steuern. Dem Problem der Tropenwaldzerstörung ist in erster Linie durch Forstgesetze sowie verbesserte Institutionen und nicht durch Umweltsiegel zu begegnen.

description: We investigate the entanglement properties of an ensemble of atoms interacting with a single bosonic field mode via the Dicke (superradiance) Hamiltonian. The model exhibits a quantum phase transition and a well-understood thermodynamic limit, allowing the identification of both quantum and semi-classical many-body features in the behaviour of the entanglement. We consider the entanglement between the atoms and the field, an investigation initiated in [N. Lambert, C. Emary and T. Brandes, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, %073602 (2004)]. In the thermodynamic limit, we give exact results for all entanglement partitions and observe a logarithmic divergence of the atom-field entanglement, and discontinuities in the average linear entropy.

description: Asthma outcomes are significantly worse for minority groups, including South Asians (SAs), in high-income settings. Despite this, comparatively few existing studies have focused on SAs when studying the effectiveness of behavioral interventions on asthma self-management, and no prior study has synthesized these findings. We review the effectiveness of behavioral interventions on asthma management in adults and children of SA origin across low- (LICs), middle- (MICs), and high-income countries (HICs). Data sources included EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Trial registries: WHO, ICTRP and ClinicalTrials.gov. Eligibility criteria: randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCTs and non-RCTs (controlled before-after [CBA] studies), published in English, with no publication year or country restrictions in adults and children of South Asian origin. Exclusion criteria: those focusing solely on pharmacological interventions. Search terms were “asthma” and “South Asian”. We included 33 studies, 27 from MICs and 6 from HICs (education [n = 10], self-management plans [n = 6], yoga/breathing exercises [n = 10]) organizational interventions [n =1], diet therapy [n = 1] and combined interventions [n = 5]). Outcome measures included: blood biochemistry, lung function, healthcare utilization and quality of life. A meta-analysis was not performed due to significant study heterogeneity. Behavioral interventions for asthma management in SAs are effective. Educational interventions that aim to optimize asthma knowledge, control, and inhaler technique, and yoga/breathing exercises are most effective for improved long-term outcomes in adults and children across LICs and MICs. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of all behavioral interventions for SAs in HICs to better inform current guidance by policy makers and health care providers.
Systematic construction of topological flat-band models by molecular-orbital representation

description: On the basis of the "molecular-orbital" representation which describes generic flat-band models, we propose a systematic way to construct a class of flat-band models with finite-range hoppings that have topological natures. In these models, the topological natures are encoded not into the flat band itself but into the dispersive bands touching the flat band. Such a band structure may become a source of exotic phenomena arising from the combination of flat bands, topology and correlations.

description: We give an introduction to a new approach to the covariant quantization of superstrings. After a brief review of the classical Green--Schwarz superstring and Berkovits' approach to its quantization based on pure spinors, we discuss our covariant formulation without pure spinor constraints. We discuss the relation between the concept of grading, which we introduced to define vertex operators, and homological perturbation theory, and we compare our work with recent work by others. In the appendices, we include some background material for the Green-Schwarz and Berkovits formulations, in order that this presentation be self contained.

description: The two tone intermodulation arising in MgB2 thin films deposited in-situ by planar magnetron sputtering on sapphire substrates is studied. Samples are characterised using an open-ended dielectric puck resonator operating at 8.8 GHz. The experimental results show that the third order products increase with the two-tone input power with a slope ranging between 1.5 and 2.3. The behaviour can be understood introducing a mechanism of vortex penetration in grain boundaries as the most plausible source of non linearities in these films. This assumption is confirmed by the analysis of the field dependence of the surface resistance, that show a linear behaviour at all temperatures under test.

description: The spirodioxynaphthalene preussomerin G, obtained from the fungus Pyrenochaetopsis sp. T1-41 (Plesosporales), was evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor in API 5L X70 steel samples. According to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves analysis, the natural product showed good corrosion inhibition properties under static conditions in two corrosive media. The maximum efficiency (η = 91%) was obtained in the NaCl 3% medium with a 5-ppm inhibitor concentration. In the NaCl 5% w/v-glacial acetic acid 0.5% v/v medium, the charge transfer resistance value decreased, and the inhibition efficiency was 75%. In addition, the polarization curves show that preussomerin G behaves as an anodic inhibitor in the saline medium but presents mixed (anodic/cathodic) characteristics in the saline-acetic medium. Moreover, the thermodynamic analysis indicates that preussomerin G is adsorbed onto the steel surface via chemisorption, according to the Langmuir isotherm. According to a dispersion-corrected density functional theory study, at the BPW91-D2/6-311++G(2d,2p) level, ether and carbonyl groups bond with the metal surface. Finally, the surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy shows that the corrosion in API 5L X70 steel decreased in the presence preussomerin G.HighlightsPreussomerin G showed good corrosion inhibition properties under static conditions in two corrosive media.The adsorption of preussomerin G onto the steel surface via chemisorption obeys the Langmuir isotherm.Ether and carbonyl groups are responsible of the chemisorption of preussomerin G onto the metal surface.Preussomerin G provides an almost inert protective cover, towards nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks, to the metal surface.

description: The infinite discrete stable Boltzmann maps are generalisations of the well-known Uniform Infinite Planar Quadrangulation in the case where large degree faces are allowed. We show that the simple random walk on these random lattices is always subdiffusive with exponent less than 1/3. Our method is based on stationarity and geometric estimates obtained via the peeling process which are of own interest.
