description: Optimal glycemic control is vital in decreasing the risk of congenital birth defects and perinatal complications in women with diabetes. Although frequent blood glucose (BG) monitoring is essential during pregnancy, studies have highlighted poor compliance and falsification of glucose readings. We designed this study to assess whether a web-based glucose monitor improves compliance, glycemic control, and patient satisfaction. This was a prospective study of 30 women with pre-gestational diabetes. After 4 weeks of using paper logs, patients were given a web-based glucose monitor. The primary outcome of interest was the average number of BG readings prior to and during web-based implementation. Secondary outcomes included glycemic control and patient satisfaction as determined by a pre- and post-study survey. The number of BG readings after 2 months using the web-based meter was similar to baseline. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) significantly improved and there was a trend toward improved overall glycemic values. Survey results demonstrated satisfaction with the new system, although 20% of patients felt uncomfortable with glucose values being available to providers in real time. Compliance with BG monitoring was similar when comparing a web-based system with written logs. Since other studies have highlighted that some glucose data from written logs are falsified, actual compliance using the web-based monitor may be improved. This study demonstrates potential patient concerns using a web-based system. Further studies should explore patient reactions to providers having real-time access to online glycemic data given our survey results.

description: Let W be a finite dimensional representation of a linearly reductive group G over a field k. Motivated by their work on classical rings of invariants, Levasseur and Stafford asked whether the ring of invariants under G of the symmetric algebra of W has a simple ring of differential operators. In this paper, we show that this is true in prime characteristic. Indeed, if R is a graded subring of a polynomial ring over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 and if the inclusionof R into S splits, then D_k(R) is a simple ring. In the last section of the paper, we discuss how one might try to deduce the characteristic zero case from this result. As yet, however, this is a subtle problem and the answer to the question of Levasseur and Stafford remains open in characteristic zero.

description: The objective of this systematic review was to explore the association between gestational hypertensive disease (GHD) and birthweight discordance in twin pregnancies. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies reporting the risk of birthweight discordance in twin pregnancies complicated compared with those not complicated by GHD from establishment until July 2021. Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. According to the classification of GHD, sub-group analyses reporting cases with gestational hypertension (GH), chronic hypertension (CH) and preeclampsia (PE) were performed separately. Stratification by twin chorionicity (dichorionic (DC) and monochorionic (MC)) was also conducted. When there was substantial heterogeneity (I2 ≥ 50%), the random effect mode was used to estimate the pooled risk ratio, otherwise the fixed effect model was used. Nine studies (303,204 twin pregnancies) were included. GHD (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.41–1.49) was a risk factor for intertwin birthweight discordance [PE (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.33–2.16); CH (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.46–1.73); GH (OR1.45, 95%Cl 1.10–1.92]. After stratification, birthweight discordance was related to GHD (OR 2.51, 95% CI 2.01–3.14), GH (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.33–3.25) and PE (OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.09–3.61) in DC pregnancies, but no longer associated with GHD and PE in MC group. Twin gestations complicated with GHD, especially in DC pregnancies, were at significantly higher risk of birthweight discordance.

description: Isolation from the environment determines the extent to which charge is confined on an island, which manifests as Coulomb oscillations such as charge dispersion. We investigate the charge dispersion of a nanowire transmon hosting a quantum dot in the junction. We observe rapid suppression of the charge dispersion with increasing junction transparency, consistent with the predicted scaling law which incorporates two branches of the Josephson potential. We find improved qubit coherence times at the point of highest suppression, suggesting novel approaches for building charge-insensitive qubits.

description: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has doubled the video compression ratio with equivalent subjective quality as compared to its predecessor H.264/AVC. The significant coding efficiency improvement is attributed to many new techniques. Inter-frame coding is one of the most powerful yet complicated techniques therein and has posed high computational burden thus main obstacle in HEVC-based real-time applications. Recently, plenty of research has been done to optimize the inter-frame coding, either to reduce the complexity for real-time applications, or to further enhance the encoding efficiency. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art techniques for HEVC inter-frame coding from three aspects, namely fast inter coding solutions, implementation on different hardware platforms as well as advanced inter coding techniques. More specifically, different algorithms in each aspect are further subdivided into sub-categories and compared in terms of pros, cons, coding efficiency and coding complexity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such comprehensive review of the recent advances of the inter-frame coding for HEVC and hopefully it would help the improvement, implementation and applications of HEVC as well as the ongoing development of the next generation video coding standard.

description: The effect of impurities on the isotope coefficient is studied theoretically in the framework of Abrikosov-Gor'kov approach generalized to account for both potential and spin-flip scattering in anisotropic superconductors. An expression for the isotope coefficient as a function of the critical temperature is obtained for a superconductor with an arbitrary contribution of spin-flip processes to the total scattering rate and an arbitrary degree of anisotropy of the superconducting order parameter, ranging from isotropic s-wave to d-wave and including anisotropic s-wave and mixed (s+d)-wave as particular cases. It is found that both magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities enhance the isotope coefficient, the enhancement due to magnetic impurities being generally greater than that due to nonmagnetic impurities. From the analysis of the experimental results on La-Sr-Cu-M-O high temperature superconductor, it is concluded that the symmetry of the pairing state in this system differs from a pure d-wave.

description: Prospective birth cohorts are essential for identifying associations between exposures and outcomes. However, voluntary participation introduces a potential bias due to self selection since the persons that chose to participate may differ in background characteristics and behaviors. To investigate potential bias due to self-selection in the Nutritional impact on Immunological maturation during Childhood in relation to the Environment (NICE) birth cohort in northern Sweden. Women in the NICE birth cohort (N = 621) were compared to nonparticipating pregnant women in Norrbotten County in northern Sweden who were eligible for participation (N = 4976) regarding maternal characteristics and lifestyle. Maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the groups and associations between exposures (smoking, folic acid, BMI, parity, education) and pregnancy outcomes (birth weight and gestational age) were analyzed by linear regression analyses, examining any interaction with the group. NICE participants were more highly educated, older and more likely to cohabit than the non-participants. They more often took folic acid and multivitamin supplements and less often smoked during early pregnancy. Pregnancy outcomes (mode of delivery, gestational age at delivery, birth weight and APGAR score) did, however, not differ significantly between participants and non-participants. Smoking, BMI, education and parity affected gestational age and birth weight, but the associations were of similar magnitude in participants and non-participants, with no significant effect on the group. Self-selection to the NICE study was evident in some factors related to lifestyle and socioeconomic characteristics but did not appear to skew pregnancy outcomes or alter well-known effects of certain lifestyle parameters on pregnancy outcomes.

description: We have measured the electric resistivity, magnetoresistance, magnetic susceptibility and magnetization of the new Kondo-lattice compound Ce3Pd4Ge4. The electrical resistivity exhibits a rapid drop at temperatures below 6 K, while the magnetic susceptibility does not show any corresponding anomaly at that temperature. This phenomenon is similar to that of Ce3Pd20Ge6 which shows quadrupolar interation. We suggest that there is the possibility of quadrupolar interaction in the orthorhombic 4f-electron system Ce3Pd4Ge4. In addition, it is realized that the spin-dependent scattering effect is responsible for the magnetotransport.

description: Using lattice QCD simulations with $N_f = 2$ dynamical fermions, we study the axial $U(1)$ symmetry, topological charge, and Dirac eigenvalue spectra in the high-temperature phase in which the chiral symmetry is restored. Our gauge ensembles are generated with Möbius domain-wall fermions, but the measurements such as susceptibilities are reweighted to those for the overlap fermions by using overlap/domain-wall reweighting technique. We find that the $U(1)_A$ and topological susceptibilities are strongly suppressed in the small quark mass region, which is related to the reduction of chiral-zero and low-nonzero modes on the Dirac spectra. We also examine their volume dependence.

description: The evolution of gravitationally unstable protoplanetary gaseous disks has been studied with the use of three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations with unprecedented resolution. We have considered disks with initial masses and temperature profiles consistent with those inferred for the protosolar nebula and for other protoplanetary disks. We show that long-lasting, self-gravitating protoplanets arise after a few disk orbital periods if cooling is efficient enough to maintain the temperature close to 50 K. The resulting bodies have masses and orbital eccentricities similar to those of detected extrasolar planets.

description: We study the consequence of a non-standard cosmological epoch in the early universe on the generation of baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis as well as dark matter abundance. We consider two different non-standard epochs: one where a scalar field behaving like pressure-less matter dominates the early universe, known as early matter domination (EMD) scenario while in the second scenario, the energy density of the universe is dominated by a component whose energy density red-shifts faster than radiation, known as fast expanding universe (FEU) scenario. While a radiation dominated universe is reproduced by the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch in both the scenario, the high scale phenomena like generation of baryon asymmetry and dark matter relic get significantly affected. Adopting a minimal particle physics framework known as the scotogenic model which generates light neutrino masses at one-loop level, we find that in one specific realisation of EMD scenario, the scale of leptogenesis can be lower than that in a standard cosmological scenario. The other non-standard cosmological scenarios, on the other hand, can be constrained from the requirement of successful low scale leptogenesis and generating correct dark matter abundance simultaneously. Such a low scale scenario not only gives a unified picture of baryon asymmetry, dark matter and origin of neutrino mass but also opens up interesting possibilities for experimental detection.

description: The possible impact of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on perinatal outcomes has long been studied, however, a definition of the optimal interval is still not clear. Both short and long IPIs have been associated with obstetrical syndromes and short and long-term complications. In this study, we sought to explore the impact of IPI on the hazard for neoplasm of the offspring, thus contribute to the present literature in determining the preferred birth spacing. We aim to investigate the association between short and long IPIs and the hazard for childhood neoplasm of the offspring. A population-based retrospective cohort analysis comparing offspring neoplasm hazard following three different IPIs. Exposure was defined as short (<6 months), or long (>60 months) IPIs, whereas intermediate IPI (6 months − 60 months) served as the comparison group. The study included singleton live births in a tertiary regional hospital between 1991 and 2014. Offspring were followed for 18 years, and all hospitalization records for neoplasm diagnoses were collected. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were used for the cumulative incidence of neoplasm morbidity, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to control for confounders. During the study period, 144,397 deliveries met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 18,947 (13.1%) occurred in women with short IPI, 114,012 (79%) in women with intermediate IPI, and 11,438 (7.9%) in women with long IPI. 61 benign neoplasms and 80 malignant neoplasms were registered in offspring born after long IPI. The total percentage of neoplasm were the highest in the long IPI group versus the intermediate and short IPI groups (malignant − 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5% respectively, benign − 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3% respectively). Controlling for maternal age, diabetes mellitus, preterm delivery, birth weight, smoking, cesarean section, and fertility treatments, long IPI was found to be independently associated with high hazard for long-term pediatric neoplasm related hospitalizations (adjusted HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.09, 1.77). Short IPI may be associated to decreased hazard for childhood neoplasms (adjusted HR 0.74, 95% Cl 0.59, 0.92). Long IPI is associated with a high hazard for childhood neoplasms, compared with intermediate and short IPIs. Short IPI may be associated with decreased hazard for childhood neoplasms.

description: The concept of the entanglement between spin and orbital degrees of freedom plays a crucial role in understanding various phases and exotic ground states in a broad class of materials, including orbitally ordered materials and spin liquids. We investigate how the spin-orbital entanglement in a Mott insulator depends on the value of the spin-orbit coupling of the relativistic origin. To this end, we numerically diagonalize a 1D spin-orbital model with the 'Kugel-Khomskii' exchange interactions between spins and orbitals on different sites supplemented by the on-site spin-orbit coupling. In the regime of small spin-orbit coupling w.r.t. the spin-orbital exchange, the ground state to a large extent resembles the one obtained in the limit of vanishing spin-orbit coupling. On the other hand, for large spin-orbit coupling the ground state can, depending on the model parameters, either still show negligible spin-orbital entanglement, or can evolve to a highly spin-orbitally entangled phase with completely distinct properties that are described by an effective XXZ model. The presented results suggest that: (i) the spin-orbital entanglement may be induced by large on-site spin-orbit coupling, as found in the 5d transition metal oxides, such as the iridates; (ii) for Mott insulators with weak spin-orbit coupling of Ising-type, such as e.g. the alkali hyperoxides, the effects of the spin-orbit coupling on the ground state can, in the first order of perturbation theory, be neglected.

description: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs), specifically long-short term memory networks (LSTMs), can model natural language effectively. This research investigates the ability for these same LSTMs to perform next "word" prediction on the Java programming language. Java source code from four different repositories undergoes a transformation that preserves the logical structure of the source code and removes the code's various specificities such as variable names and literal values. Such datasets and an additional English language corpus are used to train and test standard LSTMs' ability to predict the next element in a sequence. Results suggest that LSTMs can effectively model Java code achieving perplexities under 22 and accuracies above 0.47, which is an improvement over LSTM's performance on the English language which demonstrated a perplexity of 85 and an accuracy of 0.27. This research can have applicability in other areas such as syntactic template suggestion and automated bug patching.

description: This thesis explores how the Protestant poets Edmund Spenser and John Milton utilize the beautiful as a theological category, and it sets their concerns as Protestant poets in constructive dialogue with the insights of Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theological aesthetics. In Part I, I demonstrate important similarities between the experiential rhythm of Balthasar’s aesthetics and the typical justifications of poetry in Protestant literary theory of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: the interrelationship of theological form, attraction, and response (Chapter 1); I also show how Balthasar’s aesthetics provide an account of the connection between the forms of Christ, the Christian, and Christian art which offers a theological grounding for the conception of the Christian poet in such Protestant poetics (Chapter 2). In light of this theological approach, I explore four poems across the careers of Spenser and Milton. In Part II, I examine the power and function of Una’s beauty in Spenser’s narrative of holiness in Book 1 of The Faerie Queene (Chapter 3), and I argue that the climactic, beautiful figure of Sapience in his An Hymne of Heavenly Beautie should be interpreted Christologically rather than philosophically (Chapter 4). In Part III, I consider the beauty of the Christian form in Milton’s Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, arguing that the Lady’s beauty manifests a paradoxical “strong weakness” central to Milton’s understanding of Christianity (Chapter 5), and I positively reappraise the oft maligned figure of Christ in Paradise Regained in light of Balthasar’s theological retrieval of the concept of Ignatian indifference, while maintaining some fundamental differences between Balthasar and Milton’s doctrines of God such that Milton’s Christ cannot aesthetically manifest the glory of the Father (Chapter 6). The thesis contributes to a revaluation of the history of Protestant theological aesthetics in English literature by illustrating how two of England’s major Protestant poets frequently portray Christian theological realities as beautiful and attractive. It also contributes ecumenically to Balthasar studies by demonstrating how such canonical Protestant poetry can both nuance and be illuminated by Balthasar’s aesthetic insights about the Christian faith.

description: We propose a method to create a monopole structure in a spin-1 spinor condensate by applying the basic methods used to create vortices and solitons experimentally in single-component condensates. We show, however, that by using a two-component structure for a monopole, we can simplify our proposed experimental approach and apply it also to ferromagnetic spinor condensates. We also discuss the observation and dynamics of such a monopole structure, and note that the dynamics of the two-component monopole differs from the dynamics of the three-component monopole.

einer religionspädagogischen Reflexion und einem Blick auf christologiedidaktische
Ansätze der letzten Jahre besteht die hier weiterführende religionsdidaktische
Anregung darin, die christologische Kommunikation über Chalcedon mit
einer narrativen Methode zu verknüpfen, die aus dem Buddhismus stammt, den
Kōans.

description: Metastable states in first-order phase-transitions have been traditionally described by classical nucleation theory (CNT). However, recently an increasing number of systems displaying such a transition have not been successfully modelled by CNT. The delayed crystallization of phospholipids upon super-cooling is an interesting case, since the extended timescales allow access into the dynamics. Herein, we demonstrate the controllable behavior of the long-lived metastable liquid-crystalline phase of dilauroyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DLPE), arranged in multi-lamellar vesicles, and the ensuing cooperative transition to the crystalline state. Experimentally, we find that the delay in crystallization is a bulk phenomenon, which is tunable and can be manipulated to span two orders of magnitude in time by changing the quenching temperature, solution salinity, or adding a secondary phospholipid. Our results reveal the robust persistence of the metastability, and showcase the apparent deviation from CNT. This distinctive suppression of the transition may be explained by the resistance of the multi-lamellar vesicle to deformations caused by nucleated crystalline domains. Since phospholipids are used as a platform for drug-delivery, a programmable design of cargo hold and release can be of great benefit.

description: Aresearch can also reveal the cooperative effectiveness of agencies such as evaluation will lead to discover the weakness and strengths for further improvement of this program. The present study was designed in 2009 especially to see the effectiveness of the working of agricultural extension staff as perceived by farmers in district Okara-Pakistan. The data were collected with the help of a specifically designed and pre-tested interview schedule and total sample was 300 respondents. The results showed that most 45.0% of the respondents belonged to the old age (31-40 years) category and most 30% of the respondents were above illiterate. An overwhelming majority 77.33% of the respondents was in fall radio category. Whereas, only 29.33% of the respondents reported that they had contact with Extension Field Staff. An overwhelming majority 74.33% of the respondents indicated lack of mobility as the major constraints in approaching agricultural extension education services. It was concluded that different mass media were not fully utilized in the area which hindered not only awareness level of the respondents but also adversely effect the adoption level regarding the latest production technology related agriculture sector. On the basis of conclusions it was recommended that for first of all the educational level of the study area should be increased and Government should ensure adequate availability of rural infrastructure facilities to enable more of the dwellers cultivate the habit of utilizing medias channels as source of information in agriculture production.

description: We study an unbiased, discrete time random walk on the nonnegative integers, with the origin absorbing. The process has a history-dependent step length: the walker takes steps of length v while in a region which has been visited before, and steps of length n when entering a region that has never been visited. The process provides a simplified model of spreading in systems with an infinite number of absorbing configurations. Asymptotic analysis of the probability generating function shows that, for large t, the survival probability decays as S(t) \sim t^{-delta}, with delta = v/2n. Our expression for the decay exponent is in agreement with results obtained via numerical iteration of the transition matrix.

description: The widely-adopted discretisation of the horizontal pressure gradient term formulated by Simmons and Burridge (1981) for atmospheric models on $σ$-$p$ hybrid vertical coordinate is found to incur spectral blocking for rotational wind components at high vertical levels when used in a spectral semi-Lagrangian model run on a linear grid. A remedy to this issue is proposed and tested using a spectral semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian hydrostatic primitive equations model. The proposed method removes aliasing errors at high wavenumbers by ensuring that the rotation-free property of the pressure gradient term on isobaric surface, a feature possessed by the continuous system, is preserved in the discretised system, which highlights the significance of mimetic discretisation within the context of numerical weather prediction models.

description: The kinetic energy of an atom recoiling due to absorption of a photon was measured as a frequency using an interferometric technique called ``contrast interferometry''. Optical standing wave pulses were used as atom-optical elements to create a symmetric three-path interferometer with a Bose-Einstein condensate. The recoil phase accumulated in different paths was measured using a single-shot detection technique. The scheme allows for additional photon recoils within the interferometer and its symmetry suppresses several random and systematic errors including those from vibrations and ac Stark shifts. We have measured the photon recoil frequency of sodium to $7 $ppm precision, using a simple realization of this scheme. Plausible extensions should yield a sufficient precision to bring within reach a ppb-level determination of $h/m$ and the fine structure constant $α$.

A nest of this species (length = 68 mm; diameter = 4 mm) was obtained from a trap-nest (number 664) placed in Ticino Regional Park (Riserva Orientata La Fagiana, Milano, Italy) in 2003. The nest had 2 cells 13 mm long on average, from one of which a female emerged (September 2003); the larva employed for the description was obtained from the other. The nest lacked of the typical mud closing plug, revealing that it was not completely provisioned at the moment of removal.

description: Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Zielen von LehrerInnen, die an Österreichs
Volksschulen katholischen Religionsunterricht erteilen, wobei der Fokus auf
kompetenzorientierten Zielen liegt. Die Ergebnisse stützen sich auf Daten einer
repräsentativen Onlineuntersuchung. Es wird gezeigt, dass für die meisten Lehrpersonen
unterschiedliche Ziele gleichzeitig von großer Bedeutung sind, dass
sich LererInnen eher an Inhalten als an Kompetenzdimensionen orientieren, dass
im Vergleich zu anderen Zielen das Wissen über interreligiöse Inhalte geringere
Relevanz besitzt und dass Lehrpersonen Ziele, die für sie wichtig sind, auch im
Lehrplan wiederfinden. Auf Basis der 11, faktoranalytisch gefundenen, Zieldimensionen
wird versucht eine Typologie von LehrerInnen zu skizzieren.

Counting Problems over Incomplete Databases

description: We study the complexity of various fundamental counting problems that arise in the context of incomplete databases, i.e., relational databases that can contain unknown values in the form of labeled nulls. Specifically, we assume that the domains of these unknown values are finite and, for a Boolean query $q$, we consider the following two problems: given as input an incomplete database $D$, (a) return the number of completions of $D$ that satisfy $q$; or (b) return or the number of valuations of the nulls of $D$ yielding a completion that satisfies $q$. We obtain dichotomies between #P-hardness and polynomial-time computability for these problems when $q$ is a self-join--free conjunctive query, and study the impact on the complexity of the following two restrictions: (1) every null occurs at most once in $D$ (what is called Codd tables); and (2) the domain of each null is the same. Roughly speaking, we show that counting completions is much harder than counting valuations (for instance, while the latter is always in #P, we prove that the former is not in #P under some widely believed theoretical complexity assumption). Moreover, we find that both (1) and (2) reduce the complexity of our problems. We also study the approximability of these problems and show that, while counting valuations always has a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme, in most cases counting completions does not. Finally, we consider more expressive query languages and situate our problems with respect to known complexity classes.
