description: A statistical analysis of stacked Compton$-y$ maps of quasar hosts with a median redshift of $1.5$ using Millennium Simulation is performed to address two issues, one on the feedback energy from quasars and the other on testing dark matter halo models for quasar hosts. On the first, we find that, at the resolution of FWHM=$10$ arcmin obtained by Planck data, the observed thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect can be entirely accounted for and explained by the thermal energy of halos sourced by gravitational collapse of halos, without a need to invoke additional, large energy sources, such as quasar or stellar feedback. Allowing for uncertainties of dust temperature in the calibration of observed Comton$-y$ maps, the maximum additional feedback energy is $\sim 25\%$ of that previously suggested. Second, we show that, with FWHM=$1$ arcmin beam, tSZ measurements will provide a potentially powerful test of quasar-hosting dark matter halo models, limited only by possible observational systematic uncertainties, not by statistical ones, even in the presence of possible quasar feedback.

description: We investigate the neutral hidden charm pentaquark states $P_c^0(4380)$ and $P_c^0(4450)$ in $π^-p \to J/ψn$ reaction within an effective Lagrangian approach. The background contributions for the process mainly come from $t$-channel $π$ and $ρ$ meson exchanges. The contributions of $P_c^0(4380)$ and $P_c^0(4450)$ states give clear peak structures in the magnitude of 1 $μ$b at center of mass energy 4.38 GeV and 4.45 GeV in the total cross sections. Hence, this reaction may provide a new good platform to search for neutral $P_c$ states. It is expected that our estimated total cross sections together with the angular distributions can be tested by future experiments at J-PARC.

description: CONTEXT: Some evidence suggests that treating vascular risk factors and performing mentally stimulating activities may delay cognitive impairment onset in older adults. Exposure to a complex neighborhood environment may be one mechanism to help delay cognitive decline.

EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global database were systematically reviewed, identifying 25 studies published from February 1, 1989 to March 5, 2016 (data synthesized, May 3, 2015 to October 7, 2016). The review was restricted to quantitative studies focused on: (1) neighborhood social and built environment and cognition; and (2) community-dwelling adults aged ≥45 years.

EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The majority of studies were cross-sectional, U.S.-based, and found at least one significant association. The diversity of measures and neighborhood definitions limited the synthesis of findings in many instances. Evidence was moderately strong for an association between neighborhood SES and cognition, and modest for associations between neighborhood demographics, design, and destination accessibility and cognition. Most studies examining effect modification found significant associations, with some evidence for effect modification of the neighborhood SES-cognition association by individual-level SES. No studies had low risk of bias and many tested multiple associations that increased the chance of a statistically significant finding. Considering the studies to date, the evidence for an association between neighborhood characteristics and cognition is modest.

CONCLUSIONS: Future studies should include longitudinal measures of neighborhood characteristics and cognition; examine potential effect modifiers, such as sex and disability; and study mediators that may help elucidate the biological mechanisms linking neighborhood environment and cognition.

description: The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a central role in several cognitive domains such as motivation, reward-processing, reinforcement learning, decision-making and executive functions including working memory and attention (Arnsten, Wang, & Paspalas, 2012; Logue & Gould, 2013; Rogers, 2011; Schultz, 2002; Volkow, Wise, & Baler, 2017). Results of our recent studies point towards prominent alterations in these domains in overweight and obesity and suggest the existence of a non-linear relationship between markers of obesity and central dopamine tone (Horstmann, Fenske, & Hankir, 2015). Dopamine tone in the brain depends on both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic differences in important genes within the dopaminergic synapse, i.e. COMT (important for dopamine degradation) and dopamine receptor D2 (A1 allele of Taq1A), lead to altered dopamine signaling and can therefore contribute to higher vulnerability for diet-induced obesity (Annerbrink et al., 2008; Epstein et al., 2007). One important environmental factor that is hypothesized to affect dopamine transmission in obesity is an unhealthy diet. Accumulating evidence from animal research suggests that observed differences in dopamine signaling in obesity may be induced by diet rather than obesity (Geiger et al., 2009; Narayanaswami, Thompson, Cassis, Bardo, & Dwoskin, 2013; van de Giessen et al., 2013; Vucetic, Carlin, Totoki, & Reyes, 2012). However, the evidence for diet-induced alterations in dopamine signal transmission and their effects on dopamine-mediated cognitive processes in humans is scarce. In the proposed study, we aim to address the effect of diet high in fat and sugar on dopamine signal transmission in the brain and on dopamine-mediated cognitive performance.

description: INTRODUCTION: In the U.S., children from low-income families are more likely to be obese. The impact of parent modeling of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors in low-income American ethnic minorities is unclear, and studies examining objective measures of preschooler and parent PA are sparse.

METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined 1,003 parent-child pairs who were of low income, largely Latino and African American, and living in one of two geographically disparate metropolitan areas in the U.S. Parents and children wore GT3X/GT3X+ accelerometers for an average of >12 hours/day (7:00am-9:00pm) for 1 week (September 2012 to May 2014). Analysis occurred in 2015-2016.

RESULTS: About 75% of children were Latino and >10% were African American. Mean child age was 3.9 years. The majority of children (60%) were normal weight (BMI ≥50th and <85th percentiles), and more than a third were overweight/obese. Children's total PA was 6.03 hours/day, with 1.5 hours spent in moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA). Covariate-adjusted models showed a monotonic, positive association between parent and child minutes of sedentary behavior (β=0.10, 95% CI=0.06, 0.15) and light PA (β=0.06; 95% CI=0.03, 0.09). Child and parent MVPA were positively associated up to 40 minutes/day of parent MVPA, but an inverse association was observed when parental MVPA was beyond 40 minutes/day (p=0.002).

CONCLUSIONS: Increasing parental PA and reducing sedentary behavior correlate with increased PA-related behaviors in children. However, more work is needed to understand the impact of high levels of parental MVPA on the MVPA levels of their children.

Ram Pressure Stripping of the Large Magellanic Cloud's Disk as a Probe of the Milky Way's Circumgalactic Medium

description: Recent observations have constrained the orbit and structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), implying a well-constrained pericentric passage about the Milky Way (MW) ~ 50 Myr ago. In this scenario, the LMC's gaseous disk has recently experienced maximal ram pressure stripping, suggesting the current extent of its HI disk directly probes the medium in which it is moving. From the observed stellar and HI distributions of the system we find evidence of a truncated gas profile along the windward ``leading edge' of the LMC disk, despite a far more extended stellar component. We explore the implications of this ram pressure stripping signature, using both analytic prescriptions and full 3-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the LMC. Our simulations subject the system to a headwind whose velocity components correspond directly to the recent orbital history of the LMC. We vary the density of this headwind, using a variety of sampled parameters for a Beta-profile for a theoretical MW circumgalactic medium (CGM), comparing the resulting HI morphology directly to observations of the LMC HI and stellar components. This model can match the radial extent of the LMC's leading (windward) edge only in scenarios where the MW CGM density at pericentric passage is n(R = 48.2 +/- 5 kpc) = 1.1 (+.44/-.45) x 1e-4 cm^-3. The implied pericentric density proves insensitive to both the broader CGM structure and temperature profile, thus providing a model-independent constraint on the local gas density. This result imposes an important constraint on the density profile of the MW's CGM, and thus the total baryon content of the MW. From our work, assuming a Beta-profile valid to ~ Rvir, we infer a total diffuse CGM mass M(300 kpc) = 2.6 +/- 1.4 x 1e10 Msun or approximately 15% of a 1e12 Msun MW's baryonic mass budget.

description: In this paper, we study the problem of secure routing in a multihop wireless ad-hoc network in the presence of randomly distributed eavesdroppers. Specifically, the locations of the eavesdroppers are modeled as a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) and the source-destination pair is assisted by intermediate relays using the decode-and-forward (DF) strategy. We analytically characterize the physical layer security performance of any chosen multihop path using the end-to-end secure connection probability (SCP) for both colluding and non-colluding eavesdroppers. To facilitate finding an efficient solution to secure routing, we derive accurate approximations of the SCP. Based on the SCP approximations, we study the secure routing problem which is defined as finding the multihop path having the highest SCP. A revised Bellman-Ford algorithm is adopted to find the optimal path in a distributed manner. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed secure routing scheme achieves nearly the same performance as exhaustive search.

title: Dialogical music systems: The importance of agency in creative processes
Creators: name: O'Neill, Gordon Thomas James
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: For many, music represents product, something to be created and consumed, whilst functioning merely as aesthetic noise. I have often regarded this viewpoint as problematic, which is why this thesis provides an alternative perspective on music through the lens of agency, rather than musicology. I have done this through a practice-based approach where the two components of this thesis, the commentary and portfolio, are intended to explore the meaning of agency, or more precisely, dialogical music systems in combination. As such, the commentary acts to contextualise the findings from literature as well as the practical research which consists of three distinct studies comprised of compositions with varying levels of perceived dialogicality, including an album and two interactive installations: these all took place telematically, or digitally, due to the concurrent global pandemic. Data was collected from participants via interviews, focus groups, and surveys, and then cross-examined with auto-ethnographic reflection before being thematically analysed. I argue on the basis of these findings that dialogical music systems with a higher perception of agency encourage a greater degree of active engagement amongst participants and in turn facilitates the maximal capacity for individual creativity.

description: The detection and characterization of self-organized criticality (SOC), in both real and simulated data, has undergone many significant revisions over the past 25 years. The explosive advances in the many numerical methods available for detecting, discriminating, and ultimately testing, SOC have played a critical role in developing our understanding of how systems experience and exhibit SOC. In this article, methods of detecting SOC are reviewed; from correlations to complexity to critical quantities. A description of the basic autocorrelation method leads into a detailed analysis of application-oriented methods developed in the last 25 years. In the second half of this manuscript space-based, time-based and spatial-temporal methods are reviewed and the prevalence of power laws in nature is described, with an emphasis on event detection and characterization. The search for numerical methods to clearly and unambiguously detect SOC in data often leads us outside the comfort zone of our own disciplines - the answers to these questions are often obtained by studying the advances made in other fields of study. In addition, numerical detection methods often provide the optimum link between simulations and experiments in scientific research. We seek to explore this boundary where the rubber meets the road, to review this expanding field of research of numerical detection of SOC systems over the past 25 years, and to iterate forwards so as to provide some foresight and guidance into developing breakthroughs in this subject over the next quarter of a century.

description: We disentangle two counter-rotating stellar components in NGC 4191 and characterize their physical properties (kinematics, morphology, age, metallicity, and abundance ratio). We performed a spectroscopic decomposition on integral field data to separate the contribution of two stellar components to the observed galaxy spectrum across the field of view. We also performed a photometric decomposition, modelling the galaxy with a Sérsic bulge and two exponential disks of different scale length, with the aim of associating these structural components with the kinematic components. We measured the equivalent width of the absorption line indices on the best fit that represent the kinematic components and compared our measurements to the predictions of stellar population models. We have evidence that the line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) are consistent with the presence of two distinct kinematic components. The combined information of the intensity of the LOSVDs and photometry allows us to associate the Sérsic bulge and the outer disk with the main kinematic component, and the inner disk with the secondary kinematic component. The two kinematic stellar components counter-rotate with respect to each other. The main component is the most luminous and massive, and it rotates slower than the secondary component, which rotates along the same direction as the ionized gas. We also found that the two kinematic components have the same solar metallicity and sub-solar abundance ratio, without the presence of significant radial gradients. On the other hand, their ages show strong negative gradients and the possible indication that the secondary component is the youngest. We interpret our results in light of recent cosmological simulations and suggest gas accretion along two filaments as the formation mechanism of the stellar counter-rotating components in NGC 4191 (Abridged).

description: We suggest and investigate a scheme for non-deterministic noiseless linear amplification of coherent states using successive photon addition, $(\hat a^{\dagger})^2$, where $\hat a^\dagger$ is the photon creation operator. We compare it with a previous proposal using the photon addition-then-subtraction, $\hat a \hat a^\dagger$, where $\hat a$ is the photon annihilation operator, that works as an appropriate amplifier only for weak light fields. We show that when the amplitude of a coherent state is $|α| \gtrsim 0.91$, the $(\hat a^{\dagger})^2$ operation serves as a more efficient amplifier compared to the $\hat a \hat a^\dagger$ operation in terms of equivalent input noise. Using $\hat a \hat a^\dagger$ and $(\hat a^{\dagger})^2$ as basic building blocks, we compare combinatorial amplifications of coherent states using $(\hat a \hat a^\dagger)^2$, $\hat a^{\dagger 4}$, $\hat a \hat a^\dagger\hat a^{\dagger 2}$, and $\hat a^{\dagger 2}\hat a \hat a^\dagger$, and show that $(\hat a \hat a^\dagger)^2$, $\hat a^{\dagger 2}\hat a \hat a^\dagger$, and $\hat a^{\dagger 4}$ exhibit strongest noiseless properties for $|α| \lesssim 0.51$, $0.51 \lesssim |α| \lesssim 1.05 $, and $|α|\gtrsim 1.05 $, respectively. We further show that the $(\hat a^{\dagger})^2$ operation can be used for amplifying superpositions of the coherent states. In contrast to previous studies, our work provides efficient schemes to implement a noiseless amplifier for light fields with medium and large amplitudes.

description: Single molecule tracer diffusion studies of evaporating (thinning) ultrathin tetrakis-2-ethyl-hexoxysilane (TEHOS) films on silicon with 100 nm thermal oxide reveal a considerable slowdown of the molecular mobility within less than 4 nm above the substrate (corresponding to a few molecular TEHOS layers). This is related to restricted mobility and structure formation of the liquid in this region, in agreement with information obtained from a long-time ellipsometric study of thinning TEHOS films on silicon substrates with 100 nm thermal or 2 nm native oxide. Both show evidence for the formation of up to four layers. Additionally, on thermal oxide, a lateral flow of the liquid is observed, while the film on the native oxide forms an almost flat surface and shows negligible flow. Thus, on the 2 nm native oxide the liquid mobility is even more restricted in close vicinity to the substrate as compared to the 100 nm thermal oxide. In addition, we found a significantly smaller initial film thickness in case of the native oxide under similar dipcoating conditions. We ascribe these differences to van der Waals interactions with the underlying silicon in case of the native oxide, whereas the thermal oxide suffices to shield those interactions.

description: Differential cross sections of deep inelastic scattering of charged leptons from hadrons are investigated by using the gauge/string duality. We consider vector mesons derived from different holographic dual models obtaining a general expression. We focus on the strongly coupled regime of dual gauge theories for different values of the Bjorken parameter. We find new predictions which are particularly interesting for differential scattering cross sections of polarized leptons scattered off polarized vector mesons. We also carry out a detailed comparison of the moments of the structure functions with lattice QCD results.

description: We recall that the full susceptibility series of the Ising model, modulo powers of the prime 2, reduce to algebraic functions. We also recall the non-linear polynomial differential equation obtained by Tutte for the generating function of the q-coloured rooted triangulations by vertices, which is known to have algebraic solutions for all the numbers of the form $2 +2 \cos(jπ/n)$, the holonomic status of the q= 4 being unclear. We focus on the analysis of the q= 4 case, showing that the corresponding series is quite certainly non-holonomic. Along the line of a previous work on the susceptibility of the Ising model, we consider this q=4 series modulo the first eight primes 2, 3, ... 19, and show that this (probably non-holonomic) function reduces, modulo these primes, to algebraic functions. We conjecture that this probably non-holonomic function reduces to algebraic functions modulo (almost) every prime, or power of prime numbers. This raises the question to see whether such remarkable non-holonomic functions can be seen as ratio of diagonals of rational functions, or algebraic, functions of diagonals of rational functions.

description: Unanswered questions about racial and socioeconomic health disparities may be addressed using community-based participatory research and systems science. Community-based participatory research is an orientation to research that prioritizes developing capacity, improving trust, and translating knowledge to action. Systems science provides research methods to study dynamic and interrelated forces that shape health disparities. Community-based participatory research and systems science are complementary, but their integration requires more research. We discuss paradigmatic, socioecological, capacity-building, colearning, and translational synergies that help advance progress toward health equity.

description: Characterizing the bulk atmosphere of a terrestrial planet is important for determining surface pressure and potential habitability. Molecular nitrogen (N$_2$) constitutes the largest fraction of Earth$'$s atmosphere and is likely to be a major constituent of many terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres. Due to its lack of significant absorption features, N$_2$ is extremely difficult to remotely detect. However, N$_2$ produces an N$_2$-N$_2$ collisional pair, (N$_2$)$_2$, which is spectrally active. Here we report the detection of (N$_2$)$_2$ in Earth$'$s disk-integrated spectrum. By comparing spectra from NASA$'$s EPOXI mission to synthetic spectra from the NASA Astrobiology Institute$'$s Virtual Planetary Laboratory three-dimensional spectral Earth model, we find that (N$_2$)$_2$ absorption produces a ~35$\%$ decrease in flux at 4.15 $μ$m. Quantifying N$_2$ could provide a means of determining bulk atmospheric composition for terrestrial exoplanets and could rule out abiotic O$_2$ generation, which is possible in rarefied atmospheres. To explore the potential effects of (N$_2$)$_2$ in exoplanet spectra, we used radiative transfer models to generate synthetic emission and transit transmission spectra of self-consistent N$_2$-CO$_2$-H$_2$O atmospheres, and analytic N$_2$-H$_2$ and N$_2$-H$_2$-CO$_2$ atmospheres. We show that (N$_2$)$_2$ absorption in the wings of the 4.3 $μ$m CO$_2$ band is strongly dependent on N$_2$ partial pressures above 0.5 bar and can significantly widen this band in thick N$_2$ atmospheres. The (N$_2$)$_2$ transit transmission signal is up to 10 ppm for an Earth-size planet with an N$_2$-dominated atmosphere orbiting within the HZ of an M5V star and could be substantially larger for planets with significant H$_2$ mixing ratios.

description: We aim to evaluate the application of several responsible metrics in publications from University Medical Centers (UMCs) in Germany. This protocol outlines how we plan to assess the specificity of a previously developed, semi-automated approach to identify UMC-specific publication sets. The outcome of these specificity checks will inform potential adaptations to our approach to identify UMC-specific publication sets.
Antisymmetric tensor generalizations of affine vector fields

description: Tensor generalizations of affine vector fields called symmetric and antisymmetric affine tensor fields are discussed as symmetry of spacetimes. We review the properties of the symmetric ones, which have been studied in earlier works, and investigate the properties of the antisymmetric ones, which are the main theme in this paper. It is shown that antisymmetric affine tensor fields are closely related to one-lower-rank antisymmetric tensor fields which are parallelly transported along geodesics. It is also shown that the number of linear independent rank-$p$ antisymmetric affine tensor fields in $n$ dimensions is bounded by $(n+1)!/p!(n-p)!$. We also derive the integrability conditions for antisymmetric affine tensor fields. Using the integrability conditions, we discuss the existence of antisymmetric affine tensor fields on various spacetimes.

description: In this work we will focus on the causal character of Carter Spacetime (see B. Carter, Causal structure in space-time, Gen. Rel. Grav. 1 4 337-406, 1971). The importance of this spacetime is the following: for the causally best well behaved spacetimes (the globally hyperbolic ones), there are several characterizations or alternative definitions. In some cases, it has been shown that some of the causal properties required in these characterizations can be weakened. But Carter spacetime provides a counterexample for an impossible relaxation in one of them. We studied the possibility of Carter spacetime to be a counterexample for impossible lessening in another characterization, based on the previous results. In particular, we will prove that the time-separation or Lorentzian distance between two chosen points in Carter spacetime is infinite. Although this spacetime turned out not to be the counterexample we were looking for, the found result is interesting per se and provides ideas for alternate approaches to the possibility of weakening the mentioned characterization.

Reconciling Epidemiology and Social Justice in the Public Health Discourse Around the Sexual Networks of Black Men Who Have Sex With Men

description: Several studies have implicated the sexual networks of Black men who have sex with men (MSM) as facilitating disproportionally high rates of new HIV infections within this community. Although structural disparities place these networks at heightened risk for infection, HIV prevention science continues to describe networks as the cause for HIV disparities, rather than an effect of structures that pattern infection. We explore the historical relationship between public health and Black MSM, arguing that the current articulation of Black MSM networks is too often incomplete and counterproductive. Public health can offer a counternarrative that reconciles epidemiology with the social justice that informs our discipline, and that is required for an effective response to the epidemic among Black MSM.
Getting drowned in a swirl: deformable bead-spring model microswimmers in external flow fields

description: Deformability is a central feature of many types of microswimmers, e.g. for artificially generated self-propelled droplets. Here, we analyze deformable bead-spring microswimmers in an externally imposed solvent flow field as simple theoretical model systems. We focus on their behavior in a circular swirl flow in two spatial dimensions. Linear (straight) two-bead swimmers are found to circle around the swirl with a slight drift to the outside with increasing activity. In contrast to that, we observe for triangular three-bead or square-like four-bead swimmers a tendency of being drawn into the swirl and finally getting drowned, although a radial inward component is absent in the flow field. During one cycle around the swirl, the self-propulsion direction of an active triangular or square-like swimmer remains almost constant, while their orbits become deformed exhibiting an ``egg-like'' shape. Over time, the swirl flow induces slight net rotations of these swimmer types, which leads to net rotations of the egg-shaped orbits. Interestingly, in certain cases, the orbital rotation changes sense when the swimmer approaches the flow singularity. Our predictions can be verified in real-space experiments on artificial microswimmers.
