description: Objective Young children with congenital visual impairment (VI) are at increased risk of behavioral vulnerabilities. Studies on ‘at risk’ populations suggest that frontal EEG asymmetry may be associated with behavioral risk. We investigated frontal asymmetry at 1 year (Time 1), behavior at 2 years (Time 2) and their longitudinal associations within a sample of infants with VI. Frontal asymmetry in the VI sample at 1 year was also compared cross-sectionally to an age-matched typically sighted (TS) group. Methods At Time 1, 22 infants with VI and 10 TS infants underwent 128-channel EEG recording. Frontal asymmetry ratios were calculated from power spectral density values in the alpha frequency band. At Time 2, Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist data was obtained for the VI sample. Results 63.6% of the VI sample and 50% of the TS sample showed left frontal asymmetry; no significant difference in frontal asymmetry was found between the two groups. 22.7% of the VI sample had subclinical to clinical range ‘internalizing’ behavior difficulties. Greater left frontal asymmetry at one year was significantly associated with greater emotionally reactive scores at two years within the VI sample (r = 0.50, p = 0.02). Conclusions Left frontal asymmetry correlates with later behavior risk within this vulnerable population. Significance These findings make an important first contribution regarding the utility of frontal EEG asymmetry as a method to investigate risk in infants with VI.

description: In this paper, we address the inverse problem, or the statistical machine learning problem, in Markov random fields with a non-parametric pair-wise energy function with continuous variables. The inverse problem is formulated by maximum likelihood estimation. The exact treatment of maximum likelihood estimation is intractable because of two problems: (1) it includes the evaluation of the partition function and (2) it is formulated in the form of functional optimization. We avoid Problem (1) by using Bethe approximation. Bethe approximation is an approximation technique equivalent to the loopy belief propagation. Problem (2) can be solved by using orthonormal function expansion. Orthonormal function expansion can reduce a functional optimization problem to a function optimization problem. Our method can provide an analytic form of the solution of the inverse problem within the framework of Bethe approximation.

description: Universal properties of entangled many-body states are controlled by their symmetry and quantum fluctuations. By magnetic-field tuning of the spin-orbital degeneracy in a Kondo-correlated quantum dot, we have modified quantum fluctuations to directly measure their influence on the many-body properties along the crossover from $SU(4)$ to $SU(2)$ symmetry of the ground state. High-sensitive current noise measurements combined with the non-equilibrium Fermi liquid theory clarify that the Kondo resonance and electron correlations are enhanced as the fluctuations, measured by the Wilson ratio, increase along the symmetry crossover. Our achievement demonstrates that non-linear noise constitutes a measure of quantum fluctuations that can be used to tackle quantum phase transitions.

High significance detection of the tSZ effect relativistic corrections

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is produced by the interaction of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons with the hot (a few keV) and diffuse gas of electrons inside galaxy clusters integrated along the line of sight. This effect produces a distortion of CMB blackbody emission law. This distortion law depends on the electronic temperature of the intra-cluster hot gas, $T_{e}$, through the so-called tSZ relativistic corrections. In this work, we have performed a statistical analysis of the tSZ spectral distortion on large galaxy cluster samples. We performed a stacking analysis for several electronic temperature bins, using both spectroscopic measurements of X-ray temperatures and a scaling relation between X-ray luminosities and electronic temperatures. We report the first high significance detection of the relativistic tSZ at a significance of 5.3 $σ$. We also demonstrate that the observed tSZ relativistic corrections are consistent with X-ray deduced temperatures. This measurement of the tSZ spectral law demonstrates that tSZ effect spectral distorsion can be used as a probe to measure galaxy cluster temperatures.

description: We study time-independent radially symmetric first-order solitons in a CP(2) model interacting with an Abelian gauge field whose dynamics is controlled by the usual Maxwell term. In this sense, we develop a consistent first-order framework verifying the existence of a well-defined lower bound for the corresponding energy. We saturate such a lower bound by focusing on those solutions satisfying a particular set of coupled first-order differential equations. We solve these equations numerically using appropriate boundary conditions giving rise to regular structures possessing finite-energy. We also comment the main features these configurations exhibit. Moreover, we highlight that, despite the different solutions we consider for an auxiliary function $β\left( r\right) $ labeling the model (therefore splitting our investigation in two a priori distinct branches), all resulting scenarios engender the very same phenomenology, being physically equivalent.

We quantify the contribution of the off-equilibrium Glasma phase relative to that of a thermalized Quark-Gluon Plasma. Taking into account the constraints from charged hadron multiplicity data, the Glasma contribution is found to be significant especially for large values of the saturation scale.

description: Publish/subscribe (pub/sub) is an attractive communication paradigm for large-scale distributed applications running across multiple administrative domains. Pub/sub allows event-based information dissemination based on constraints on the nature of the data rather than on pre-established communication channels. It is a natural fit for deployment in untrusted environments such as public clouds linking applications across multiple sites. However, pub/sub in untrusted environments lead to major confidentiality concerns stemming from the content-centric nature of the communications. This survey classifies and analyzes different approaches to confidentiality preservation for pub/sub, from applications of trust and access control models to novel encryption techniques. It provides an overview of the current challenges posed by confidentiality concerns and points to future research directions in this promising field.

description: The study of invisibility of an infinite dielectric rod with high refractive index is based on the two-dimensional Mie scattering problem, and it suggests strong suppression of scattering due to the Fano interference between spectrally broad nonresonant waves and narrow Mie-resonant modes. However, when the dielectric rod has a finite extension, it becomes a resonator supporting the Fabry-Perot modes which introduce additional scattering and eventually destroy the invisibility. Here we reveal that for shorter rods with modest values of the aspect ratio r/L (where r and L are the radius and length of the rod, respectively), the lowest spectral window of the scattering suppression recovers completely, so that even a finite-size resonator may become invisible. We present a direct experimental verification of the concept of switchable invisibility at microwaves using a cylindrical finite-size resonator with high refractive index.

description: It has been known for a long time that hyperons produced in hadronic collisions are polarized perpendicular to the production plane of the reaction. This effect cannot be described by using twist-2 collinear parton correlators only. Here we compute the contribution of twist-3 fragmentation functions to the production of transversely polarized hyperons in unpolarized proton-proton collisions in the framework of collinear factorization. By taking into account the relations among the relevant twist-3 fragmentation functions which follow from the QCD equation of motion and the Lorentz invariance property of the correlators, we present the leading-order cross section for this term.

description: Single flux quantum (SFQ) circuits form a natural neuromorphic technology with SFQ pulses and superconducting transmission lines simulating action potentials and axons, respectively. Here we present a new component, magnetic Josephson junctions, that have a tunablility and re-configurability that was lacking from previous SFQ neuromorphic circuits. The nanoscale magnetic structure acts as a tunable synaptic constituent that modifies the junction critical current. These circuits can operate near the thermal limit where stochastic firing of the neurons is an essential component of the technology. This technology has the ability to create complex neural systems with greater than 10^21 neural firings per second with approximately 1 W dissipation.

description: In this work we probe the third-order non-linear optical property of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and their heterostructure by the use of coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy. When the energy difference of the two input fields match the phonon energy, the anti-Stokes emission intensity is enhanced in h-BN, as usually expected while for graphene a anomalous decrease is observed. This behaviour can be understood in terms of q coupling between the electronic continuum and a discrete phonon state. We have also measured a graphene/h-BN heterostructure and demonstrate that the anomalous effect in graphene dominates the heterostructure optical response.

description: The validity of SU(4)-flavor symmetry relations of couplings of charmed $D$ mesons to light mesons and baryons is examined with the use of $^3{\rm P}_0$ quark-pair creation model and nonrelativistic quark model wave functions. We focus on the three-meson couplings $ππρ$, $KKρ$ and $DDρ$ and baryon-baryon-meson couplings $NNπ$, $NΛK$ and $NΛ_c D$. It is found that SU(4)-flavor symmetry is broken at the level of 30% in the $DDρ$ tree-meson couplings and 20% in the baryon-baryon-meson couplings. Consequences of these findings for DN cross sections and existence of bound states D-mesons in nuclei are discussed.

description: OBJECTIVES: Uptake of influenza, pneumococcal and shingles vaccines in older adults vary across regions and socioeconomic backgrounds. In this study, we study the coverage and factors associated with vaccination uptake, as well as refusal in the unvaccinated population and their associations with ethnicity, deprivation, household size and health conditions. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This is a cross-sectional study of adults aged 65 years or older in England, using a large primary care database. Associations of vaccine uptake and refusal in the unvaccinated with ethnicity, deprivation, household size and health conditions were modelled using multivariable logistic regression. OUTCOME MEASURE: Influenza, pneumococcal and shingles vaccine uptake and refusal (in the unvaccinated). RESULTS: This study included 2 054 463 patients from 1318 general practices. 1 711 465 (83.3%) received at least one influenza vaccine, 1 391 228 (67.7%) pneumococcal vaccine and 690 783 (53.4%) shingles vaccine. Compared with White ethnicity, influenza vaccine uptake was lower in Chinese (OR 0.49; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.53), 'Other ethnic' groups (0.63; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.65), black Caribbean (0.68; 95% CI 0.64 to 0.71) and black African (0.72; 95% CI 0.68 to 0.77). There was generally lower vaccination uptake among more deprived individuals, people living in larger household sizes (three or more persons) and those with fewer health conditions. Among those who were unvaccinated, higher odds of refusal were associated with the black Caribbean ethnic group and marginally with increased deprivation, but not associated with higher refusal in those living in large households or those with lesser health conditions. CONCLUSION: Certain ethnic minority groups, deprived populations, large households and 'healthier' individuals were less likely to receive a vaccine, although higher refusal was only associated with ethnicity and deprivation but not larger households nor healthier individuals. Understanding these may inform tailored public health messaging to different communities for equitable implementation of vaccination programmes.

description: The war diaries are official records kept by the Battalions during a one month period. They contain the daily orders, correspondence, newsletters, and an intelligence log detailing troop activities, locations, and weather conditions. The war diaries detail the activities and movement of the 1st Battalion from training in Canada and England to active duty on the Western Front and their return to Victoria in January 1946. This diary was kept while at Ede, Holland. It has entries about continuing celebrations in Ede, continuing work, recreational, and educational programs, cancelling all privilege leaves with rumours it was because they were going to get a movement order, Lt.-Col. C. Wightman giving the Battalion as much news as he was permitted to about the movement of the Canadians from Holland, lectures about the present situations in Canada to prepare the troops to return to civilian life, collecting all small arms from everyone except those whose duty made it necessary to keep them for now, and holding the Canadian Scottish Children's party for the underprivileged children of Ede, among other activities and information. Includes appendices covering orders.

description: The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a macroscopic transport effect resulting from the chiral anomaly. We review the recent progress in theoretical understanding the properties of chiral plasmas, in which the CME and other anomaly-induced transports take place. In particular, the nontrivial interplay of anomalous currents and dynamical electromagnetic fields is discussed. We also review the theoretical status of the modeling of anomalous transport effects in heavy-ion collisions.

description: Purpose: The relationship of instrument measured color difference to observer perception of color difference is not currently well-defined in applications related to color for facial prosthetic devices. Determining the threshold of perceivable color difference (âˆ†E) in silicone will improve the quality of patient treatment and allow for better applications of technology in the production of facial prostheses. The purpose of this study is to determine the threshold of perceivable color difference in silicone and to examine if this threshold varies with light versus dark colors, and/or among three different observer groups. Material and Methods: Two sets of 40 silicone samples (one simulating light skin and one simulating dark skin) were compared to one standard sample. Sample color was measured using a portable spectrophotometer, and âˆ†E values between each sample and a standard sample were calculated (Commission Internationale de lâ€™Eclairage CIE (L*a*b*)). Samples were shown to 29 subjects from three groups (12 professionals who work with color, 6 patients with a facial prosthesis, and 11 laypeople) in random order next to a standard sample under controlled viewing conditions. Subjects were asked â€œDo these samples appear to be the same color?â€ and responses were analyzed to calculate the âˆ†E value of the threshold of perceivable color difference in silicone for each subject. Subject thresholds were used to determine average thresholds for each subject group, and for all participants. Results: No significant difference in the thresholds of perceivable color difference among the three subject groups, or between light and dark sample sets was found. âˆ†E = 1.025 was calculated as the average threshold of perceivable color difference. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that âˆ†E = 1.0 can be used as a threshold of perceivable color difference in silicone used in facial prosthesis fabrication. Understanding this threshold will be useful in evaluating and integrating technology into the color-matching process of prosthesis production. It can also be used as a clinical standard for color difference comparisons and quality control in prosthetic outcomes. (Int J Maxillofac Prosthetics 2020;3:12-22)

description: We present a thorough investigation of the phenomena of frozen and time-invariant quantum discord for two-qubit systems independently interacting with local reservoirs. Our work takes into account several significant effects present in decoherence models, which have not been yet explored in the context of time-invariant quantum discord, but which in fact must be typically considered in almost all realistic models. Firstly, we study the combined influence of dephasing, dissipation and heating reservoirs at finite temperature. Contrarily to previous claims in the literature, we show the existence of time-invariant discord at high temperature limit in the weak coupling regime, and also examine the effect of thermal photons on the dynamical behaviour of frozen discord. Secondly, we explore the consequences of having initial correlations between the dephasing reservoirs. We demonstrate in detail how the time-invariant discord is modified depending on the relevant system parameters such as the strength of the initial amount of entanglement between the reservoirs.

description: Optically levitated nanoparticles in vacuum are a promising model system to test physics beyond our current understanding of quantum mechanics. Such experimental tests require extreme control over the dephasing of the levitated particle's motion. If the nanoparticle carries a finite net charge, it experiences a random Coulomb force due to fluctuating electric fields. This dephasing mechanism can be fully excluded by discharging the levitated particle. Here, we present a simple and reliable technique to control the charge on an optically levitated nanoparticle in vacuum. Our method is based on the generation of charges in an electric discharge and does not require additional optics or mechanics close to the optical trap.
title: Transitions from school to work : Local black and migrant youths in a South African mining community
Creators: name: Chenga, Charity, Sarah

description: The mining sector in South Africa has its history thoroughly embedded in the migration process and has been described as being the forerunner to the apartheid system. Yet fifteen years after the eradication of the apartheid system it is the mining sector where the old system still lingers in terms of the discriminatory practices in employment and social conditions. The migration system borne out of the discovery of the gold mines in the country still continues with migrant employment peaking at 59% the total mining labour force whilst the country reports a 40 percent unemployment rate with the youths recording the highest unemployment rates since the country gained independence in 1994. This qualitative study utilising grounded theory explored the factors influencing the experiences and expectations of local black and migrant youths in the transition from school to work in a South African mining community. The theoretical framework that emerged from data collected reflected complex aspects of the study brought about by the combination of the transitional period that South Africa is going through, the closed nature and migratory process of the South African mining communities. The theories drawn from data included theories of migration; historical structural approach, the neo-classical equilibrium perspective and the migration systems approach, forms of capital; taking account of the main influential contributors namely Bourdieu, Coleman and Putnam, and developmental theories; focussing on the Capabilities approach by Sen and Nussbaum, and Freire’s education and empowerment theories. The findings revealed that major factors impacting on the transition from school to work related to the gaps that existed between the micro, meso and macro levels of analysis which manifested mainly in the gaps between policy and practice, expectations and realities and the contradictions between globalisation and national interests.
