description: The rapid increase of computational power over the last several years has allowed detailed microscopic investigations of the structure of many nuclei in terms of Relativistic Mean Field theories as well as in the framework of the no-core Shell Model. In heavy deformed nuclei, in which microscopic calculations remain a challenge, algebraic models based on the SU(3) symmetry offer specific predictions, parameter-independent in several cases, directly comparable to experimental data. Two different approximate models for heavy deformed nuclei based on the SU(3) symmetry, the pseudo-SU(3) and the proxy-SU(3) schemes will be discussed and the compatibility between their predictions for the nuclear deformation parameters will be shown. In particular, the dominance of prolate over oblate shapes in the ground states of even-even nuclei and the prolate to oblate shape phase transition occurring in heavy rare earths will be considered.

description: With t-channel rho, f2(1270) exchange and the pi pi -> rho rho -> pi pi box diagram contribution, we reproduce the pi pi isotensor S-wave and D-wave scattering phase shifts and inelasticities up to 2.2 GeV quite well in a K-matrix formalism. The t-channel rho exchange provides repulsive negative phase shifts while the t-channel f2(1270) gives an attractive force to increase the phase shifts for pi pi scattering above 1 GeV, and the coupled-channel box diagram causes the inelasticities. The implication to the isoscalar pi pi S-wave interaction is discussed.

description: The celebrated area-entropy formula for black holes has provided the most important clue in the search for the elusive theory of quantum gravity. We explore the possibility that the (linear) area-entropy relation acquires some smaller corrections. Using the Boltzmann-Einstein formula, we rule out the possibility for a power-law correction, and provide severe constraints on the coefficient of a possible log-area correction. We argue that a non-zero logarithmic correction to the area-entropy relation, would also imply a modification of the area-mass relation for quantum black holes.

description: The history and the main results of the energy scan program at the CERN SPS are reviewed. Several anomalies in energy dependence of hadron production predicted as signals of deconfinement phase transition are observed and they indicate that the onset of deconfinement is located at about 30 A GeV. For the first time we seem to have clear evidence for the existence of a deconfined state of matter in nature.

Concerning the pathological set in the context of probabilistic well-posedness
Creators: name: Sun, Chenmin

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove a complementary result to the probabilistic well-posedness for the nonlinear wave equation. More precisely, we show that there is a dense set $S$ of the Sobolev space of super-critical regularity such that (in sharp contrast with the probabilistic well-posedness results) the family of global smooth solutions, generated by the convolution with some approximate identity of the elements of $S$, does not converge in the space of super-critical Sobolev regularity.
description: In this version, we add a further consequence (Corollary 1.2) of the main result and correct a small error, compared to the article appeared in: Comptes Rendus Mathematique, Vol. 358, issue 9-10 (2020), p. 989-999

description: We prove absence of absolutely continuous spectrum for discrete one-dimensional Schrödinger operators on the whole line with certain ergodic potentials, $V_ω(n) = f(T^n(ω))$, where $T$ is an ergodic transformation acting on a space $Ω$ and $f: Ω\to \R$. The key hypothesis, however, is that $f$ is discontinuous. In particular, we are able to settle a conjecture of Aubry and Jitomirskaya--Mandel'shtam regarding potentials generated by irrational rotations on the torus. The proof relies on a theorem of Kotani, which shows that non-deterministic potentials give rise to operators that have no absolutely continuous spectrum.

Reducing Restraints through Patient Involvement in Care Plans
Creators: name: Thompson, Matt
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Abstract
Background:  Restraint use has been demonstrated to pose a risk of psychological and physical injury to both clients and staff in health care facilities and programs.  Evidence from the literature suggests that including patients in the planning of their care has been demonstrated to reduce problem behaviors, violent outbursts, instances of self-harm, and the need for restraint. 
Purpose: The aim of this quality improvement project was to promote collaborative care through the attainment of provider knowledge of best practices to prevent and reduce restraint use at three group homes in St. Petersburg, Florida. 
Methods: The intervention involved presenting evidence-based information from the literature to group home leadership, counselors and staff regarding the importance of patient involvement in care plans, and the correlation of decreased use of restraints when care is collaborative.  Additionally, a tool kit was presented inclusive of best practice guidelines to reduce restraint use applying the Tidal Model framework.  Acquisition of the material presented was measured by the DNP student’s analysis of changes in restraint report data, as well as the use of descriptive statistics to assess participant feedback regarding the educational intervention at two month follow-up.
Results: At two month follow-up, restraint use had decreased by 16% across all group homes, and feedback received from the participant questionnaire was largely positive in nature.

The nova is detected at 1.2 mm showing a variable millimetre emission. Only upper limits of T_A* = 0.06 K for CO and T_A* = 0.03 K for SiO could be derived. We discuss the results in terms the nature of the millimetre emission favouring dust from a phase before the recent outburst as the likely radiating source. We also comment on the possibility of free-free emission from the ionised shell as the source of the measured millimetre radiation.

Improving Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention in Community Health Settings: Training and Evaluation
Creators: name: Mbouadeu, Abdonne
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: Excessive alcohol use is responsible for 88,000 deaths in the United States each year. Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (ASBI) is highly effective for the prevention and treatment of harmful alcohol use in community healthcare settings; however, this intervention is not widely used by healthcare professionals. A structured search of bibliographic databases was conducted to locate evidence-based articles pertaining to barriers to ASBI. Evidence suggests that the lack of knowledge and confidence is responsible for the underutilization of ASBI.                            Purpose: To assess the impact of ASBI training on nursing staff knowledge, attitude, and confidence and to make ASBI a routine and systematic practice.                Methods: Fifteen participants attended two ASBI education workshops. Case scenarios in the form of screening simulation were utilized to reinforce key concepts. Nine participants completed a paper-based survey questionnaire administered before and after ASBI training. Data was collected using a quantitative approach via self-report numeric rating questions. To draw conclusions about the true impact of ASBI training, pre and post-survey scores were compared, and the main outcome means were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test.                                                                  Results: Four questions related to ASBI knowledge, attitude, and confidence were included in the questionnaire. Post-training mean scores were higher than pre-training mean scores and results in the main training outcome were statistically significant.    Conclusion: The successful implementation of this project provides evidence that education interventions can be effective at improving competence and comfort in delivering alcohol screening and brief intervention in community healthcare settings
In Beers We Trust: Using Deprescribing Tools to Reduce Inappropriate Polypharmacy in Adults Age ≥ 65
Creators: name: Ferrazzi, Angelica
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults (age ≥ 65). Polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) are especially prevalent in this population and are a notable contributing risk factor for ADEs. Research demonstrates that comprehensive medication reconciliation that includes evaluation of both the risks and benefits of medications, in conjunction with deprescribing practices, can reduce PIMs; therefore, reducing ADEs.
Purpose: The aim of this quality improvement project was to empower clinicians to deprescribe current medications that are inappropriate, as well as reduce the rate of newly prescribed PIMs among patients age ≥ 65 in the primary care setting by establishing a multi-modal educational intervention.
Methods: A detailed educational program that incorporated evidence-based resources composed of the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) 2019 Beers Criteria®, PIMs, and deprescribing was introduced to 88 clinicians in a large academic, urban-based general internal medicine primary care clinic. Data was collected through pre-post intervention surveys to assess provider knowledge, prescribing practices, and self-efficacy in deprescribing. A retrospective medication chart review then assessed actual trends of prescribed PIMs in the clinic.
Results: The 34 clinicians who completed each survey demonstrated an increased knowledge of AGS Beers Criteria® medications and reported a greater frequency in medication reconciliation performance. Notably, a paired t-test was performed to measure 13 providers’ reported self-efficacy deprescribing; and each participant’s response improved post-intervention.
Conclusion: Proper medication safety standards in older adults is a complex issue that requires significant education in order for clinicians to adopt informed prescribing practices, thus ongoing provider education and evaluation are recommended. This multi-modal educational intervention is feasible for implementation in various healthcare settings to expand provider knowledge.

description: Although cherry-tomato is becoming more popular in the last years, there are no specific recommendations for P and K fertilization or liming strategies for this specific variety. Our aim was to assess rates of P and K and liming strategies in order to improve the yield of cherry-tomato grown on an Oxisol with a limited P-availability. Two pot experiments were developed. In the first-one, a two-factor factorial design was developed with 4 P (first-factor) and 4 K rates (second-factor), being these rates the 0%, 50%, 100%, and 200% of the recommended fertilization for tomato in South-Brazil. In the second experiment, the soil pH (4.3) was adjusted to 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 with limestone. Soil P-availability, plant growth, diameter, number of fruits and cherry tomato yields were increased with the P addition, while a non-significant effect was observed after adding K. The highest yield was produced with 50% of the suggested amount of P for tomato in comparison with the non-fertilized plants (yield increase of 674%), while higher P rates (100% and 200%) produced a lower yield increase. The significant effect of soil liming was observed on increase of the flower bunches number when the soil pH was amended to 6.5. Cherry-tomato requirements seem to be different from the recommended for other varieties. Our results indicate that higher yields were achieved with a lower amount of chemical inputs than the recommended for tomato in general, stressing the importance of P for tomato cherry production over the other factors assessed here.

Implementation of an Online Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Reducing Stress Amongst Undergraduate Nursing Students
Creators: name: Garmaise-Yee, Joy
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background & Purpose: Nurses and nursing students have notoriously high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout, depersonalization, deterioration of mental or physical health or exiting the profession. A pilot educational mindfulness-based intervention was implemented online amongst undergraduate nursing students to decrease stress and increase mindfulness. Mindfulness is an evidence-based self-care skill that has proven effective in reducing stress in student populations and amongst nurses.
Methods: Students in an online nursing theory course engaged in the mindfulness-based intervention online. Stress and mindfulness were measured pre-, immediately post-, and 4 weeks post-intervention and were analyzed using linear regression. Students were also surveyed regarding feasibility and challenges with the program.
Results: Sixty students participated in the 5-week training and completed pre- and post-test measurements. Students with the highest adherence to the program reported a decrease in stress with mild statistical significance in this sample (M=-1.678, SE=.943, p=.075), while an increase in mindfulness was observed across all adherence levels (M=3, SE=.846, p≤.001). Twenty-nine students participated at follow-up, and the results were sustained. After five weeks of exposure to mindfulness, a majority of students valued this new skill (58%) and would share it with a colleague (53%) or a future client (60%).
Conclusion: Integration of an abbreviated, online mindfulness program is effective at decreasing students’ stress and increasing mindfulness. A slightly longer version of this intervention should be considered. Digital delivery addresses an important health equity concern for nursing students, who must be better equipped with self-care tools to effectively cope with stress.

description: We describe the role of correlation measurements between the LIGO interferometer in Livingston, LA, and the ALLEGRO resonant bar detector in Baton Rouge, LA, in searches for a stochastic background of gravitational waves. Such measurements provide a valuable complement to correlations between interferometers at the two LIGO sites, since they are sensitive in a different, higher, frequency band. Additionally, the variable orientation of the ALLEGRO detector provides a means to distinguish gravitational wave correlations from correlated environmental noise. We describe the analysis underway to set a limit on the strength of a stochastic background at frequencies near 900 Hz using ALLEGRO data and data from LIGO's E7 Engineering Run.

description: The Lax Logical Framework, LLFP, was introduced, by a team including the last two authors, to provide a conceptual framework for integrating different proof development tools, thus allowing for external evidence and for postponing, delegating, or factoring-out side conditions. In particular, LLFP allows for reducing the number of times a proof-irrelevant check is performed. In this paper we give a shallow, actually definitional, implementation of LLFP in Coq, i.e. we use Coq both as host framework and oracle for LLFP. This illuminates the principles underpinning the mechanism of Lock-types and also suggests how to possibly extend Coq with the features of LLFP. The derived proof editor is then put to use for developing case-studies on an emerging paradigm, both at logical and implementation level, which we call fast and loose reasoning following Danielsson et alii [6]. This paradigm trades off efficiency for correctness and amounts to postponing, or running in parallel, tedious or computationally demanding checks, until we are really sure that the intended goal can be achieved. Typical examples are branch-prediction in CPUs and optimistic concurrency control.

Heart Failure: Effective Collaboration and Education to Reduce Preventable  Hospitalizations and Readmissions
Creators: name: Prabucka-davis, Iwona
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Abstract
            Background and Review of Literature: Worldwide heart failure (HF) prevalence rates are steadily increasing at a high magnitude. With rates of mortality and morbidity high for those diagnosed with HF, patients are often faced with a poor prognosis. Management of the disease that is in accordance with the most recent recommended guidelines has been shown to reduce exacerbations that require hospitalizations and thereby preserving patient quality of life and life expectancy.
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to decrease hospital readmissions for HF exacerbations in the primary care setting through improving practitioner and patient adherence to the current HF treatment guidelines.
Methods: This quality improvement project was designed as a process improvement project.  In order to collect data a pre-intervention/post-intervention project design was used. A self-developed Heart Failure Management Checklist and Likert Survey were utilized to collect data.
Results: Descriptive statistical analysis showed a significant improvement, in most cases >15%, in the management of heart failure patients, when providers utilized the Heart Failure Checklist as a tool to adhere to the most current practice guidelines and recommendations.
Conclusion: Primary care providers should have greater access to HF guidelines and the use of HF succinct checklist in an effort to bridge the gap in knowledge between themselves and cardiologists and to improve HF patient outcomes. This project attempted to bridge this gap through a succinct checklist underlining the most current HF treatment recommendations.

description: Evaluating the relative contributions of local environmental versus regional spatial descriptors to the shaping of phytoplankton communities provides an understanding of the community dynamics of high mountain lakes. The present study elucidated the role of lake morphometric, physicochemical, biological, and spatial descriptors in determining the patterns in phytoplankton diversity and community composition based on taxonomic and morphologically based functional groups. We collected samples of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and abiotic variables from 24 Pyrenean lakes. The influence of environmental factors on alpha diversity was analyzed using generalized linear models, and the influence on beta diversity was analyzed using linear regressions. To detect biogeographical patterns, we performed Mantel correlation tests, and to identify the environmental drivers of the phytoplankton community composition, we performed redundancy analysis. We found that only local environmental factors significantly contributed to the phytoplankton community structure in high mountain lakes, with nutrient- and light-associated variables being the major drivers of local and regional diversity and compositional variations. Our results suggested that total phosphorus significantly affects alpha and beta diversity patterns. This study highlighted that niche-related local factors are the main drivers to explain phytoplankton composition, and that dispersal limitation is not notably influential in high mountain lakes within the Pyrenean Lake district.
Increasing Sexual Protection Barrier Use in the College Setting Through Offering Free Sexual Protection Barriers
Creators: name: Bullett-Smith, Aimee
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Abstract
Background: College students have a disproportionate rate of sexually transmitted infections. Sexually transmitted infections are preventable if sexual protection barriers are utilized with every sexual encounter. Barriers to using sexual protection include financial, availability, lack of understanding on risk, and confidentiality concerns.
Methods: This project was a program evaluation of the Barrier Express, which offers free and confidential access to sexual protection barriers. Anonymous surveys were emailed to college students enrolled in the fall semester of 2019 to evaluate their understanding of sexually transmitted infections, use of sexual protection barriers, awareness of services, and utilization of the program. Free distribution sites on campus were also monitored.
 Results: Surveys were sent to all students and 106 of 1324 were returned. Ninety one percent indicated they had never utilized the Barrier Express, however counts at the distribution centers around campus showed students were taking the free barrier products provided. 
 Discussion:  Students seemed to understand their risk of sexually transmitted infections but were not all aware of the campus free online ordering program on campus for sexual protection barriers. Free distribution sites on campus were more likely to be utilized in the residence halls and Athletic Training room, which will be continued by the college as well as more advertising for the online distribution program.

SPS Webinar, 24 September 2024, Dr. Krishna Agarwal
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming pervasive. In the last two decades, the developments in AI have resulted from application-driven demands, which include solutions that are accurate, black box or not. This has therefore resulted in fast growth of deep learning (DL) algorithms, and the common practice has been to use them directly for a variety of applications without resorting to application-specific optimization. However, in the last few years, AI in general and DL in particular are being explored also for scientific problems. It has been increasingly realized that using DL as plug-and-play solutions is not suitable for scientific data and problems, and that AI and DL solutions need to be integrated with the physics of the scientific application in order for them to either perform better, be fail-safe, or be scientifically explainable. In this webinar, the presenter will discuss a variety of approaches for integrating the physics of the scientific application with AI/DL solutions. She will explore how these approaches have been used in cutting-edge research across a variety of scientific problems.

We show that the B-model mirror has a geometric interpretation. In a particular limit for one of the Kaehler parameters of the quadric, we show that the mirror can be interpreted as the twistor superspace CP^{3|4}. This agrees with the recent conjecture of Neitzke and Vafa proposing a mirror equivalence between the two twistor superspaces.

description: This paper considers filters (the Mexican hat wavelet, the matched and the scale-adaptive filters) that optimize the detection/separation of point sources on a background. We make a one-dimensional treatment, we assume that the sources have a Gaussian profile, i. e. $τ(x) = e^{- x^2/2R^2}$, and a background modelled by an homogeneous and isotropic Gaussian random field, characterised by a power spectrum $P(q)\propto q^{-γ}, γ\geq 0$. Local peak detection is used after filtering. Then, the Neyman-Pearson criterion is used to define the confidence level for detections and a comparison of filters is done based on the number of spurious and true detections. We have performed numerical simulations to test theoretical ideas and conclude that the results of the simulations agree with the analytical results.

description: Single two dimensional polymers confined to a strip are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. They are described by N-step self-avoiding random walks on a square lattice between two parallel hard walls with distance 1 << D << N^ν(ν= 3/4 is the Flory exponent). For the simulations we employ the pruned-enriched-Rosenbluth method (PERM) with Markovian anticipation. We measure the densities of monomers and of end points as functions of the distance from the walls, the longitudinal extent of the chain, and the forces exerted on the walls. Their scaling with D and the universal ratio between force and monomer density at the wall are compared to theoretical predictions.

Enhancing Cultural Humility for Sexual and Gender Minorities within an Inpatient Mental Health Hospital: A Quality Improvement Project
Creators: name: Dalton, Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) are a population that experiences health disparities. Cultural competence among healthcare providers is one way to help reduce health disparities that is shown to be improved by educational interventions. 
Purpose: The purpose was to enhance cultural humility among healthcare professionals in a mental health hospital to promote inclusivity especially as it pertains to SGM. The purpose was to shift a training model focused on cultural competence to one that incorporates concepts related to cultural humility by implementing a classroom-based training with a pre and posttest.
Methods: The design was non-experimental, using a convenience sample of twenty to forty healthcare professionals in a mental health hospital, and involved provision of two trainings containing content including concepts and practical interventions related to enhancing cultural humility and inclusivity. Learning was assessed through analysis of responses to the Cultural Humility scale, administered before and one month after the training, using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. The ecological systems theory guided this project.
Results: Eight participants completed the pretest and training, and seven completed the posttest. The difference between the mean total pretest score (M=43.14, SD=1.46) and the mean total posttest score (M=44.43, SD=4.93) was not found to be significant, nor were the differences in means of the pretest and posttest scores for both the positive and negative subscales.
Conclusion: Qualitative reports from participants showed favorable results of the intervention and the project served as a model to create a cultural humility training for healthcare professionals specific to SGM.
A self-consistent framework of topological amplitude and its $SU(N)$ decomposition

description: We propose a systematic theoretical framework for the topological amplitudes of the heavy meson decays and their $SU(N)$ decomposition. In the framework, the topological amplitudes are expressed in invariant tensors and classified into tree- and penguin-operator-induced diagrams according to which four-quark operators, tree or penguin, being inserted into their effective weak vertexes. By decomposing the four-quark operators into irreducible representations of $SU(N)$ group, one can derive the $SU(N)$ irreducible amplitudes from the tensor form of the topology. Taking the $D\to PP$ decay ($P$ denoting a pseudoscalar meson) with $SU(3)_F$ symmetry as an example, we show our framework in detail. The fact that some topologies are not independent in the $SU(3)_F$ limit is explained by group theory. It is found that there are only nine independent topologies in all tree- and penguin-operator-induced diagrams contributing to the $D\to PP$ decays in the Standard Model. If a large quark-loop diagram is assumed, the large $ΔA_{CP}$ and the very different $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to π^+π^-$ branching fractions can be explained with a normal $U$-spin breaking. Moreover, our framework provides a simple and systematic way to analyze the $SU(N)$ breaking effects. As examples, the linear $SU(3)_F$ breaking and the high order $U$-spin breaking in charm decays are re-investigated in our framework, which are consistent with literature. We propose the concepts of splitting and degeneracy of topologies, and use them to describe the charm-less bottom decay. We find $SU(3)_F$ analysis for the charm-less $B$ decays is different from the $D$ decays because the charm-quark loop is beyond the $SU(3)$ symmetry and should be investigated in the symmetry breaking chain of $SU(4)\to SU(3)$.

Obscured Asymptotic Giant Branch Variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Period-Luminosity Relation

description: The characteristics of oxygen-rich and carbon-rich, large amplitude (dK>0.4 mag), asymptotic giant branch variables in the Large Magellanic Clouds are discussed, with an emphasis on those obscured by dust. Near-infrared photometry, obtained over about 8 years, is combined with published mid-infrared observations from IRAS and ISO to determine bolometric magnitudes for 42 stars. Pulsation periods of the O-rich stars are in the range 116 0.6 mag, secular or very long period variations which may be associated with changes in their mass-loss rates. We discuss and compare various methods of determining the bolometric magnitudes and show, perhaps surprisingly, that most of the very long period stars seem to follow an extrapolation of the period-luminosity relation determined for stars with shorter periods - although the details do depend on how the bolometric magnitudes are calculated. Three stars with thin shells, which are clearly more luminous than the obscured AGB stars, are undergoing hot bottom burning, while other stars with similar luminosities have yet to be investigated in sufficient detail to determine their status in this regard. We suggest that an apparent change in slope of the period luminosity relation around 400-420 days is caused by variables with luminosities brighter than the predictions of the core-mass luminosity relation, due to excess flux from hot bottom burning.

description: We extend the formalism based on perturbative QCD that was developed in our previous work, and compute the hyperfine splittings of the bottomonium spectrum as well as the fine and hyperfine splittings of the charmonium spectrum. All the corrections up to O(alpha_s^5 m) are included in the computations. We find agreement (with respect to theoretical uncertainties) with the experimental values whenever available and give predictions for not yet observed splittings.
