description: We perform the step-scaling investigation of the running coupling constant, using the gradient-flow scheme, in SU(3) gauge theory with twelve massless fermions in the fundamental representation. The Wilson plaquette gauge action and massless unimproved staggered fermions are used in the simulations. Our lattice data are prepared at high accuracy, such that the statistical error for the renormalised coupling, g_GF, is at the subpercentage level. To investigate the reliability of the continuum extrapolation, we employ two different lattice discretisations to obtain g_GF. For our simulation setting, the corresponding gauge-field averaging radius in the gradient flow has to be almost half of the lattice size, in order to have this extrapolation under control. We can determine the renormalisation group evolution of the coupling up to g^2_GF ~ 6, before the onset of the bulk phase structure. In this infrared regime, the running of the coupling is significantly slower than the two-loop perturbative prediction, although we cannot draw definite conclusion regarding possible infrared conformality of this theory. Furthermore, we comment on the issue regarding the continuum extrapolation near an infrared fixed point. In addition to adopting the fit ansatz a'la Symanzik for performing this task, we discuss a possible alternative procedure inspired by properties derived from low-energy scale invariance at strong coupling. Based on this procedure, we propose a finite-size scaling method for the renormalised coupling as a means to search for infrared fixed point. Using this method, it can be shown that the behaviour of the theory around g^2_GF ~ 6 is still not governed by possible infrared conformality.

description: Most substance-use prevention interventions are based on the implicit assumption that risk and protective factors for substance use are the same for biracial and monoracial youth. However, preliminary research suggests this assumption may be untrue. This study compared the prevalence and correlates of substance use among Black, White, and biracial Black-White youth. Data were derived from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health (Add Health), which is a longitudinal investigation using stratified random sampling to study health behaviors. After controlling for sociodemographic factors and using weighted Poisson and logistic regression, we found the substance-use prevalence rates of Black-White youth to be intermediate to the higher rates of Whites and lower rates of Blacks. In addition, Black-White youth’s scores on most covariates were intermediate to those of the monoracial groups. Family factors were more important in explaining higher substance use than other contextual factors. School factors seem to be important in explaining lower substance use for Black-White youth. Correlates of substance use for Black-White youth were not identical to those of either Black or White youth. More research on the observed intermediate phenomena among biracial youth vis-à-vis prevalence, correlates, and causes of substance use is needed.

Buried hatchets, marked locations: Forgiveness, everyday racial discrimination, and African American men’s depressive symptomatology.

description: Everyday racial discrimination (ERD) is linked to pronounced depressive symptomatology among African-American men. Yet, many African-American men do not experience depressive symptoms following ERD exposure often because they employ positive coping strategies that offset its effects. Granting forgiveness is one coping strategy associated with less depression. However, extant findings about the mental health benefits of forgiveness are somewhat mixed and pay scarce attention to offenses which are fleeting, historically rooted, and committed outside of close personal relationships. Evidence further suggest age-related differences in forgiveness, ERD exposure, and depressive symptoms. We explore the extent to which three strategies of granting forgiveness of ERD—letting go of negative emotion (negative release), embracing positive emotion (positive embrace), or combining both (combined)— are associated with less depressive symptomatology in 674 African-American men (ages 18-79). Building on past findings, we also test whether these forgiveness strategies moderate the ERD-depressive symptoms relationship for men in different age groups (18-25, 26-39, 40). Higher combined and negative release forgiveness were directly related to lower depressive symptoms among 18-25 year-olds. We also detected a less pronounced positive relationship between ERD and depressive symptoms among men reporting high levels of combined (18-25 and 26-39 groups) and negative release (26-39 and 40+ groups) forgiveness. We observed a more pronounced positive ERD-depressive symptoms relationship among 18-25 and 26-39 year-olds reporting lower forgiveness. When faced with frequent ERD, younger African-American men may have the most difficult time burying hatchets without marking their location but experience more positive mental health benefits when they do.

description: The $^6Π$ electronic ground state of the Co$_2^+$ diatomic molecular cation has been assigned experimentally by x-ray absorption and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy in a cryogenic ion trap. Three candidates, $^6Φ$, $^8Φ$, and $^8Γ$, for the electronic ground state of Fe$_2^+$ have been identified. These states carry sizable orbital angular momenta that disagree with theoretical predictions from multireference configuration interaction and density functional theory. Our results show that the ground states of neutral and cationic diatomic molecules of $3d$ transition elements cannot generally be assumed to be connected by a one-electron process.

description: We investigate the dynamics of the exciton formation and relaxation on a picosecond time scale following a pulsed photoexcitation of a semiconductor. The study is conducted in the framework of the density matrix theory complemented with the dynamics controlled truncation scheme. We truncate the phonon branch of the resulting hierarchy of equations and propose the form of coupling among single-phonon-assisted and higher-order phonon-assisted density matrices so as to ensure the energy and particle-number conservation in a closed system. Time scales relevant for the exciton formation and relaxation processes are determined from numerical investigations performed on a one-dimensional model for the values of model parameters representative of a typical organic and inorganic semiconductor. The exciton dynamics is examined for different values of central frequency of the exciting field, temperature, and microscopic model parameters, such as the strengths of carrier-carrier and carrier-phonon couplings. We find that for typical organic semiconductor parameters, formation of bound excitons occurs on a several-hundred-femtosecond time scale, while their subsequent relaxation and equilibration takes at least several picoseconds. These time scales are consistent with recent experimental studies of the exciton formation and relaxation in conjugated polymer-based materials.

description: The wave packet approach to neutrino oscillations provides an enlightening description of quantum decoherence induced, during propagation, by localization effects. Within this approach, we show that a deeper insight into the dynamical aspects of particle mixing can be obtained if one investigates the behavior of quantum correlations associated to flavor oscillations. By identifying the neutrino three-flavor modes with (suitably defined) three-qubit modes, the exploitation of tools of quantum information theory for mixed states allows a detailed analysis of the dynamical behavior of flavor entanglement during free propagation. This provides further elements leading to a more complete understanding of the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations, and a basis for possible applicative implementations. The analysis is carried out by studying the distribution of the flavor entanglement; to this aim, we perform combined investigations of the behaviors of the two-flavor concurrence and of the logarithmic negativities associated with specific bipartitions of the three flavors.

description: In a previous paper [A. Mori, T. Kaito, H. Furukawa, Mater. Lett. 62 (2008) 3459-3461], we carried out birefringence measurements of Pb(II)-doped silica hydrogels prepared in a magnetic field (B). For a 5T sample, we observed a negative birefringence with the optic axis along B. At that time, providing a positive intrinsic birefringence of silica, we speculated that in the birefringent gels the gel network extended perpendicular to B. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider this speculation on the basis of previous and recent results [T. Kaito, S.-i. Yanagiya, A. Mori, M. Kurumada, C. Kaito, T. Inoue, J. Cryst. Growth 289 (2006) 275-277; T. Kaito, A. Mori, C. Kaito, J. Chem. Chem. Eng., 9 (2015) 61-66]. In the former, the silica gels were used as a medium of a crystal growth of PbBr2 and aligned arrays of crystallites with long axis parallel to B were obtained. In the latter, Pb(II) nanocrystallites were formed in silica xerogels by electron irradiation. Both of the short axis of PbBr2 crystallites and the diameter of Pb(II) crystallites were a few tens of nanometers. This size must be a size of short axis of pores in the gel networks elongated affected by the magnetic field. Since the PbBr2 crystallites were elongated along the magnetic field, we conclude that the Pb(II)-doped silica gel networks aligned along the magnetic field.

description: The use of antibacterial and antifouling materials is widely being investigated to combat the increasing risk associated with bacterial infections and the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria. Efficient antibacterial materials can be fabricated by mimicking the topography found on the surface of natural antibacterial materials. Natural materials such as the wings of cicadas and dragonflies have evolved to use the structural features on their surface to attain bactericidal properties. The nanopillars/nanospikes present on these natural materials physically damage the bacterial cells that settle on the nanostructures resulting in cell lysis and death. This article reviews the role of nanostructures found on the surface of some of these natural antibacterial and antifouling materials such as lotus leaf, cicadas and dragonflies wings, shark skin, and rose petals. These natural structures provide guidelines for the design of synthetic bio-inspired materials. This review article also presents some novel fabrication techniques used to produce biomimetic micro- and nano-structures on synthetic material surfaces. The role of size, shape, aspect ratio, and spacing between the micro/nano-structures on the bactericidal properties is also discussed. Finally, the review is finished with the author's view on the future of the field.

description: Next-generation sequencing is becoming increasingly common in clinical laboratories worldwide and is revolutionizing clinical molecular testing. However, the large amounts of raw data produced by next-generation sequencing assays and the need for complex bioinformatics analyses present unique challenges. Proficiency testing in clinical laboratories has traditionally been designed to evaluate assays in their entirety; however, it can be alternatively applied to separate assay components. We developed and implemented a multi-institutional proficiency testing approach to directly assess custom bioinformatics and variant interpretation processes. Six clinical laboratories, all of which use the same commercial library preparation kit for next-generation sequencing analysis of tumor specimens, each submitted raw data (FASTQ files) from four samples. These 24 file sets were then deidentified and redistributed to five of the institutions for analysis and interpretation according to their clinically validated approach. Among the laboratories, there was a high rate of concordance in the calling of single-nucleotide variants, in particular those we considered clinically significant (100% concordance). However, there was significant discordance in the calling of clinically significant insertions/deletions, with only two of seven being called by all participating laboratories. Missed calls were addressed by each laboratory to improve their bioinformatics processes. Thus, through our alternative proficiency testing approach, we identified the bioinformatic detection of insertions/deletions as an area of particular concern for clinical laboratories performing next-generation sequencing testing.

description: We show that the long-time behavior of solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries shock problem can be described as a slowly modulated one-gap solution in the dispersive shock region. The modulus of the elliptic function (i.e., the spectrum of the underlying Schrödinger operator) depends only on the size of the step of the initial data and on the direction, $\frac{x}{t}=const.$, along which we determine the asymptotic behavior of the solution. In turn, the phase shift (i.e., the Dirichlet spectrum) in this elliptic function depends also on the scattering data, and is computed explicitly via the Jacobi inversion problem.

Risking trouble and troubling risk: children's outdoor play and risk in the more-than-human city
Creators: name: Dilworth, Tasmin-Lara
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Playful outdoor experience in various urban spaces is a vital means through which children engage with the complicated (often fraught) intimacies of more-than-human cities and grapple with the project and possibilities of living in and with entangled multi-species worlds. However, children in many urbanised countries in the Minority World, including Australia, are spending significantly less time playing outdoors than previous generations. An increasing preoccupation with risk is often identified as one of the key reasons for the changing geography and ecology of Australian childhoods. This thesis explores how different risk constructions and interventions at individual, family and institutional levels are shaping children’s material, affective and semiotic experiences of playful outdoor spaces during middle childhood in Sydney. In helping untangle the dialectical relationship between constructions of ‘risk’ and ‘nature’, it is particularly concerned with how these constructions are drawn into ontological framings informing how children come to think about, relate to and see themselves in more-than-human worlds. Adopting a hybrid methodology that brings together more-than-human and children-as-researcher approaches, I draw on three key data sources. Firstly, semi-structured interviews conducted with twenty Sydney families. These include parent interviews, as well as a series of child interviews combined with map-making and child-generated photo activities. Secondly, interviews with twenty-seven other key informants concerned with planning, designing and managing outdoor spaces. Finally, my own ethnographic observations drawn from time spent dwelling in playful spaces across Sydney. This thesis develops a conceptual framework for thinking through risk in which constructions can be viewed as ranging from more categorical approaches tied to conceptions of risk as an inherent negative property of a particular entity, activity or space, to an ontology of risk as both precariousness and playful possibility emerging from more-than-human relational assemblages. I argue that wider adoption of a more relational ontology of riskiness can help invite and enliven children’s playful outdoor experiences, encouraging more generous and convivial approaches to negotiating risky attachments with the multifarious creaturely, microbial and foliate ecological denizens that share and shape our cities.

description: High-resolution human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching reduces graft-versus-host disease and improves overall patient survival after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Sanger sequencing has been the gold standard for HLA typing since 1996. However, given the increasing number of new HLA alleles identified and the complexity of the HLA genes, clinical HLA typing by Sanger sequencing requires several rounds of additional testing to provide allele-level resolution. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) is routinely used in molecular genetics, few clinical HLA laboratories use the technology. The performance characteristics of NGS HLA typing using TruSight HLA were determined using Sanger sequencing as the reference method. In total, 211 samples were analyzed with an overall accuracy of 99.8% (2954/2961) and 46 samples were analyzed for precision with 100% (368/368) reproducibility. Most discordant alleles were because of technical error rather than assay performance. More important, the ambiguity rate was 3.5% (103/2961). Seventy-four percentage of the ambiguities were within the DRB1 and DRB4 loci. HLA typing by NGS saves approximately $6000 per run when compared to Sanger sequencing. Thus, TruSight HLA assay enables high-throughput HLA typing with an accuracy, precision, ambiguity rate, and cost savings that should facilitate adoption of NGS technology in clinical HLA laboratories.

description: While CNTs are found to have ultra high stiffness and strength, an enormous scatter is also observed in available laboratory results. This paper studies the effects of randomly distributed Stone Wales (SW or 5 7 7 5) defects on the mechanical properties of single walled nanotubes (SWNTs) using the technique of atomistic simulation (AS). A Matern hard core random field applied on a finite cylindrical surface is used to describe the spatial distribution of the Stone Wales defects. We simulate a set of displacement controlled tensile loading up to fracture of SWNTs with (6,6) armchair and (10, 0) zigzag configurations and aspect ratio around 6. A modified Morse potential is adopted to model the interatomic forces. We found that fracture invariably initiates from a defect if one is present; for a defect-free tube the crack initiates at quite random locations. The force-displacement curve typically behaves almost linearly up to about half way, although there is no obvious yield point. Three mechanical properties - stiffness, ultimate strength and ultimate strain - are calculated from the simulated force and displacement time histories. The randomness in mechanical behavior resulting only from initial velocity distribution was found to be insignificant at room temperature. The mean values of stiffness, ultimate strength and ultimate strain of the tube decrease as the average number of defects increases although the coefficients of variation do not show such monotonic trend. The introduction of an additional defect has the most pronounced effect on the randomness in mechanical properties when the tube is originally defect free. We also found that, for a given mean number of defects in the tube, the zigzag configuration has less strength and less ultimate strain on the average, but more uncertainty in its stiffness and ultimate strain, compared with the armchair tube.

description: Laboratory tests have a key role in preventing human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven carcinomas and in guiding therapeutic interventions. An understanding of the virology, immunology, and carcinogenesis of HPV is essential for choosing appropriate diagnostic test modalities and developing new and even more effective cancer prevention strategies. HPV infects basal epithelial cells on multiple surfaces and induces carcinoma primarily in the cervix and the oropharynx. HPV types are stratified as high risk or low risk based on their carcinogenic potential. During oncogenesis, HPV interferes with cell cycle regulation and incites DNA damage responses that thwart apoptosis and enable mutations to accumulate. Such mutations are an adverse effect of innate and adaptive antiviral immune responses that up-regulate DNA-editing enzymes, with natural selection of cells having a chromosomally integrated viral genome lacking expression of viral proteins targeted by the immune system. Infected cancers share a similar mutation signature, reflecting the effect of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic polypeptide enzyme DNA-editing enzymes. It is feasible that genomic tests for characteristic mutations or methylation signatures, along with tests for dysregulated HPV gene expression, add value in predicting behavior of premalignant lesions. Furthermore, these tumor markers in cell-free DNA of plasma or body fluids may one day assist in early detection or monitoring cancer burden during treatment.

The claim is tested by an ANOVA test using the power priming condition (low/high power) as the independent variable and empathic concern as the dependent variable (Statement 3), which resulted in power priming influencing participants' empathic concern, F(1,34) = 5.76, p = .022, partial eta squared = .15 - participants reported greater empathic concern when primed with low power (Statement 4).

description: To investigate how employees’ impression management behavior, targeted upward at organizational leaders, relates to their peer-rated organizational influence, this study considers both a mediating role of peer-rated workplace popularity and a moderating role of self-rated social dominance orientation. Multisource, three-wave data from employees and their peers in the power-distant, collectivistic country of Pakistan reveal that upward impression management behavior, despite raising some potential organizational concerns, is associated with peer-rated workplace popularity for employees, who in turn can wield greater influence over colleagues. The mediating role of peer-rated workplace popularity also is more prominent to the extent that employees accept social hierarchies, because this orientation makes their use of upward impression management tactics to advance their own and their peers’ personal interests more purposeful.

description: OBJECTIVES: To develop evidence-based guideline recommendations through a systematic review of the literature to establish standard molecular biomarker testing of colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues to guide epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies and conventional chemotherapy regimens.

METHODS: The American Society for Clinical Pathology, College of American Pathologists, Association for Molecular Pathology, and American Society of Clinical Oncology convened an expert panel to develop an evidence-based guideline to establish standard molecular biomarker testing and guide therapies for patients with CRC. A comprehensive literature search that included more than 4,000 articles was conducted.

RESULTS: Twenty-one guideline statements were established.

CONCLUSIONS: Evidence supports mutational testing for EGFR signaling pathway genes, since they provide clinically actionable information as negative predictors of benefit to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapies for targeted therapy of CRC. Mutations in several of the biomarkers have clear prognostic value. Laboratory approaches to operationalize CRC molecular testing are presented.

description: We use quantum optimal control theory algorithms to design external electric fields that drive the coupled spin and orbital dynamics of an electron in a double quantum dot, subject to the spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman magnetic fields. We obtain time-profiles of multi-frequency electric pulses which increase the rate of spin-flip transitions by several orders of magnitude in comparison with monochromatic fields, where the spin Rabi oscillations were predicted to be very slow. This precise, with the accuracy higher than $10^{-4}$, and fast, at the timescale of the order of 0.1 ns, simultaneous control of the electron spin orientation and position is achieved while keeping the electron in the four lowest tunneling- and Zeeman-split levels through the duration of the pulse, facilitating high fidelity and suggesting useful applications in spintronics and quantum information devices.

Braids as a representation space of SU(5)

description: The Standard Model of particle physics provides very accurate predictions of phenomena occurring at the sub-atomic level, but the reason for the choice of symmetry group and the large number of particles considered elementary, is still unknown. Along the lines of previous preon models positing a substructure to explain these aspects, Bilson-Thompson showed how the first family of elementary particles is realized as the crossings of braids made of three strands, with charges resulting from twists of those strands with certain conditions; in this topological model, there are only two distinct neutrino states. Modeling the particles as braids implies these braids must be the representation space of a Lie algebra, giving the symmetries of the Standard Model. In this paper, this representation is made explicit, obtaining the raising operators associated with the Lie algebra of $SU(5)$, one of the earliest grand unified theories. Because the braids form a group, the action of these operators are braids themselves, leading to their identification as gauge bosons. Possible choices for the other two families are also given. Although this realization of particles as braids is lacking a dynamical framework, it is very suggestive, especially when considered as a natural method of adding matter to loop quantum gravity.

description: Most calculations of black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity indicate a term proportional to the area eigenvalue A with a correction involving the logarithm of A. This violates the additivity of the entropy. An entropy proportional to A, with a correction term involving the logarithm of the classical area k, which is consistent with the additivity of entropy, is derived in both U(1) and SU(2) formulations.

description: We selected the claim that marriage makes couples happier than does cohabitation. This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "Well-being gains of marriage are larger than those of cohabitation." The authors analyze Dutch panel data to investigate whether partnership has a causal effect on subjective well-being. Subjective well-being is measured on an ordinal scale from 0 to 10. To account for time-invariant unobserved personal characteristics, the authors use a linear fixed-effects model. The specification of the model allows the authors to compare the effects of marriage and cohabitation to that of being single. The focal test result concerns the location of the difference in estimate coefficients on the married and cohabiting dummy variables (single is the reference category). The selected test result comes from the parameter estimate obtained for the women sample. The results are reported in Table 3, Panel d - under the heading “Female." The estimated coefficients for “Marriage" and “Cohabitation" are .39 (SE = .08) and .21 (SE = .07) respectively. The difference is statistically significant, p = .004. The focal test in the original paper is: The results are reported in Table 3, Panel d - under the heading “Female."
