description: Models with correlated disorders are rather common in physics. In some of them, like the Aubry-André (AA) model, the localization phase diagram can be found from the (self)duality with respect to the Fourier transform. In the others, like the all-to-all translation-invariant Rosenzweig-Porter (TI RP) ensemble or the Hilbert-space structure of the many-body localization, one needs to develop more sophisticated and usually phenomenological methods to find the localization transition. In addition, such models contain not only localization but also the ergodicity-breaking transition, giving way to the non-ergodic extended phase of states with non-trivial fractal dimensions $D_q$. In this work, we suggest a method to calculate both the above transitions and a lower bound to the fractal dimensions $D_2$ and $D_\infty$, relevant for physical observables. In order to verify this method, we apply it to the class of long-range (self-)dual models, interpolating between AA and TI RP ones via both power-law dependences of on-site disorder correlations and hopping terms, and, thus, being out of the validity range of the previously developed methods. We show that the interplay of the correlated disorder and the power-law decaying hopping terms leads to the emergence of the two types of fractal phases in an entire range of parameters, even without having any quasiperiodicity of the AA potential. The analytical results of the above method are in full agreement with the extensive numerical calculations.

description: Widefield microscopy is widely used for non-invasive imaging of biological structures at subcellular resolution. When applied to complex specimen, its image quality is degraded by sample-induced optical aberration. Adaptive optics can correct wavefront distortion and restore diffraction-limited resolution but require wavefront sensing and corrective devices, increasing system complexity and cost. Here, we describe a self-supervised machine learning algorithm, CoCoA, that performs joint wavefront estimation and three-dimensional structural information extraction from a single input 3D image stack without the need for external training dataset. We implemented CoCoA for widefield imaging of mouse brain tissues and validated its performance with direct-wavefront-sensing-based adaptive optics. Importantly, we systematically explored and quantitatively characterized the limiting factors of CoCoA's performance. Using CoCoA, we demonstrated the first in vivo widefield mouse brain imaging using machine-learning-based adaptive optics. Incorporating coordinate-based neural representations and a forward physics model, the self-supervised scheme of CoCoA should be applicable to microscopy modalities in general.

description: The work in this thesis focuses on the electrochemical effects of metal oxide nanoparticles at electrode surfaces. Hydrous iron oxide, which is readily prepared in the form of a nanoparticulate sol, is shown to interact only very weakly with electrodes. Direct electron transfer is observed, but much clearer electrochemical responses are observed for hydrous iron oxide adsorbed onto inert electrode surfaces. Monolayers of hydrous iron oxide and of hydrous ruthenium oxide readily form on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) or on boron-doped diamond electrodes. The inert substrate material allows a wide potential window to be explored and an essentially insulating oxide materials to be investigated electrochemically. Nanoparticles readily form mono-layer (and not multi-layer) films due to interparticle repulsion effects. However, when a small binder molecule such as the negatively charged phytate for the positively charged oxide particles is introduced, a second layer and further layers of oxide particles can be deposited. In this way multilayer structures are assembled with characteristic effects on the electrochemical properties. The layer-by-layer assembly strategy is then applied for electrochemically inert particles of TiC>2 (anatase). Mesoporous TiC>2 phytate films are formed at ITO electrode surfaces and their properties are explored. Although not electrochemically active within the potential range studied here, the Ti02 films are shown to promote electron transport within the film. A range of binder molecules are tested and the calcination of the resulting Ti02 films is shown to lead to purely inorganic mesoporous structures. The negatively charged phytate binder molecules dominate the Ti02 phytate membrane properties and lead to adsorption of positively charged biomolecules such as horse heart cytochrome c. The cytochrome c is shown to penetrate the mesoporous films three dimensionally and surprisingly fast electron transport in the film allows the redox protein to be coupled to the electrode even for thick films. Parameters for transport and electron transfer are explored. Finally, biphasic redox systems are considered. In order for an electrode to be in contact to two liquid phases simultaneously (the condition for biphasic voltammetry) a finely structured interface is required. Two types of electrodes are investigated with (i) a simple mesoporous oxide film on an ITO electrode and (ii) a gold sputter-coated mesoporous oxide structure. The latter form of electrode is shown to be more efficient in optimising the triple phase boundary reaction zone. In addition to electrodes prepared with the mesoporous TiC>2 multi-layer film, sol-gel silica structures are investigated.

description: In the violent post-merger of binary neutron-star mergers strong oscillations are present that impact the emitted gravitational-wave (GW) signal. The frequencies, temperatures and densities involved in these oscillations allow for violations of the chemical equilibrium promoted by weak-interactions, thus leading to a nonzero bulk viscosity that can impact dynamics and GW signals. We present the first simulations of binary neutron-star mergers employing the self-consistent and second-order formulation of the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics for dissipative fluids proposed by Müller, Israel and Stewart. With the spirit of obtaining a first assessment of the impact of bulk viscosity on the structure and radiative efficiency of the merger remnant we adopt a simplified but realistic approach for the viscosity, which we assume to be determined by direct and modified Urca reactions and hence to vary within the stars. At the same time, to compensate for the lack of a precise knowledge about the strength of bulk viscosity, we explore the possible behaviours by considering three different scenarios of low, medium, and high bulk viscosity. In this way, we find that large values of the bulk viscosities damp the collision-and-bounce oscillations that characterize the dynamics of the stellar cores right after the merger. At the same time, large viscosities tend to preserve the $m=2$ deformations in the remnant, thus leading to a comparatively more efficient GW emission and to changes in the post-merger spectrum that can be up to $100\,{\rm Hz}$ in the case of the most extreme configurations. Overall, our self-consistent results indicate that bulk viscosity increases the energy radiated in GWs soon after the merger by $\lesssim 2\%$ in the (realistic) scenario of small viscosity, and by $\lesssim 30\%$ in the (unrealistic) scenario of large viscosity.

description: In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, ob der Halo-Effekt und Gendereffekte bei akustischen Vorträgen beobachtbar sind. Der Halo-Effekt ist ein Urteilsfehler bei dem sich eine Person einen Gesamteindruck aufgrund eines hervorstechenden Merkmales bildet. Der Einfluss des Geschlechts auf ein Urteil wird hier als Gendereffekt verstanden. Die Versuchspersonen hörten einen Vortrag auf Tonband, der entweder von einer Frau oder einem Mann gehalten wurde. Vorher erhielten die Teilnehmer/innen eine Personenbeschreibung des oder der Vortragenden. Im ersten Fall wurde die vortragende Person als jemand dargestellt, der einer praktischen Tätigkeit nachgeht. Im zweiten Fall ging sie einer theoretischen Arbeit nach. Anschließend sollte der Vortrag eingeschätzt werden. Tatsächlich zeigte sich bei der Untersuchung ein Halo-Effekt, da der Vortrag, wenn er von einer vermeintlich praktisch arbeitenden Person gehalten wurde, auch als eher praktisch eingeschätzt wurde, und umgekehrt nahmen ihn die Probanden/innen theoretischer wahr, wenn der oder die Vortragende einen theoriebezogenen Beruf ausübte. Der Halo-Effekt trat unabhängig vom Geschlecht des/der Vortragenden und vom Geschlecht des/der Urteilenden auf. Gendereffekte oder geschlechtsspezifische Vorurteile konnten nicht beobachtet werden.

description: We compute the complexity for the mixed state density operator derived from a one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW). The complexity is computed using a two-qubit quantum circuit obtained from canonically purifying the mixed state. We demonstrate that the Nielson complexity for the unitary evolution oscillates around a mean circuit depth of $k$. Further, the complexity of the step-wise evolution operator grows cumulatively and linearly with the steps. From a quantum circuit perspective, this implies a succession of circuits of (near) constant depth to be applied to reach the final state.

description: The assessment of the success of conventional periodontal therapy is based on retrospective studies from private practice and university clinics. Due to their marked heterogeneity, it is difficult to assess the data quality and rate these studies. The aim is to test a model for auditing and rating the data quality of periodontal outcome studies. The method was adapted from the NIH Health Care Systems Collaboratory model, which uses three data quality dimensions: completeness (including all the relevant variables), consistency (ensuring that the same variables are compared) and accuracy (proportion of data in error with a gold standard). The model was applied to studies from a Norwegian specialist practice and data from the Norwegian Health database to test if the auditing process was workable using real world data. Forty-seven risk and prognostic factors were included for completeness. Seven variables were specified for consistency: tooth loss, smoking, systemic conditions, oral hygiene, individual tooth prognosis, maintenance profiles and timing of extractions. The factors tested showed a 95.7% completeness and an average accuracy deviation from the gold standard of −2.3% for each of the risk/prognostic factors and an overall study score of 93.3%. It was possible to develop a method for auditing and rating the quality of periodontal outcome studies. The model was tested using both real world data including risk and prognostic factors from individual outcome studies and national big data. The application of the model to these sets of data showed a high accuracy of the risk/prognostic factors and a close relationship with national big data.

description: There are two versions of the dominant energy condition (=dec): The original one for Lorentzian manifolds and an associated one for initial data sets. If a Lorentzian manifold satisfies dec, then so does the induced initial set on any embedded spacelike hypersurface. In this article, we discuss the question of a potential converse of this: Is every dec initial data set the induced one on a spacelike hypersurface within a suitably chosen dec Lorentzian manifold? We provide an example showing that in general the answer is no if we require all structures to be smooth.

description: The aim was to study the differences in autonomic nervous system activation between maximal tooth clenching task and handgrip test during and after the tasks. Also, the possible activation of trigeminocardiac reflex during the clenching task was explored. We compared autonomic responses to maximal tooth clenching and handgrip in 28 participants. Responses in heart rate variability, heart rate, and blood pressure were evaluated before, during, and after tests. Although all study participants were considered healthy during recruitment, 14 of them showed painful temporomandibular disorders in the clinical examination, which was taken into account in the analyses. Handgrip and tooth clenching caused similar autonomic responses. However, tooth clenching seemed to activate the trigeminocardiac reflex shown as clenching-related vagal activation. The painful signs of temporomandibular disorders may interfere with the heart rate variability both at the baseline and during both tests causing significant variation in them. Both handgrip and tooth clenching affect the autonomic nervous system function. Tooth clenching differs from the handgrip due to trigeminocardiac reflex. Painful signs of temporomandibular disorders are interfering with the results of the tests and maybe underestimated in the studies of autonomic responses to both tasks.

description: We revisit the theory of first-order quasilinear systems with diagonalizable principal part and only real eigenvalues, what is commonly referred to as strongly hyperbolic systems. We provide a self-contained and simple proof of local well-posedness, in the Hadamard sense, of the Cauchy problem. Our regularity assumptions are very minimal. As an application, we apply our results to systems of ideal and viscous relativistic fluids, where the theory of strongly hyperbolic equations has been systematically used to study several systems of physical interest.

description: To investigate associations between a wide panel of salivary inflammatory markers and the presence of dental caries among children. In this exploratory, cross-sectional study, 176 children, aged 7–9, underwent a dental examination. Information on the children’s oral health habits and lifestyles was collected from their mothers. In addition, saliva samples were collected and analyzed using a multiplex immunoassay. Of 92 inflammatory markers measured, 56 were included in the statistical analyses. To identify potential inflammatory markers associated with caries, we applied low to advanced statistical analyses. First, we performed traditional logistic regression analysis followed by Bonferroni corrections. Thereafter, a more robust and less conservative statistical approach, i.e. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), was applied. The models were adjusted for potential confounders. Of the 176 children in the study, 22.2% were affected by caries. Among the 56 salivary inflammatory markers, only macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) was selected by the LASSO and found to be positively associated with the presence of caries. The observed association between CSF1 and the presence of caries may be of clinical value in caries risk management and early diagnosis. Larger studies are warranted to assess the replicability of our findings.

description: We study a higher-order surface finite element (SFEM) penalty-based discretization of the tangential surface Stokes problem. Several discrete formulations are investigated which are equivalent in the continuous setting. The impact of the choice of discretization of the diffusion term and of the divergence term on numerical accuracy and convergence, as well as on implementation advantages, is discussed. We analyze the inf-sup stability of the discrete scheme in a generic approach by lifting stable finite element pairs known from the literature. A discretization error analysis in tangential norms then shows optimal order convergence of an isogeometric setting that requires only geometric knowledge of the discrete surface.

description: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war eine Historiographie, d.h. die Entwicklung der ägyptologischen Geschichtsschreibung von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis heute, in Bezug auf die Erste Zwischenzeit darzulegen. Auf Grund der Tatsache, dass sich die frühen Ägyptologen besonders mit den schriftlichen Hinterlassenschaften dieser Epoche beschäftigt haben, bestand der erste Teil der Arbeit darin diese (Königslisten, literarischen Texte und biographischen Grabinschriften) genauer zu betrachten. Dem gegenübergestellt ist das Kapitel über das archäologische Material zu verstehen. Besonders in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts ist der Trend festzustellen, dass vor allem die archäologischen Zeugnisse für die Erstellung eines Geschichtsbildes herangezogen werden. Dies stellt einerseits eine andere Herangehensweise an dieses Thema dar, andererseits aber zeigt der Vergleich dieser beiden Forschungsbereiche auch, dass sie ein nicht unwesentlich differenziertes Licht auf die Erste Zwischenzeit werfen. Im Laufe der Arbeit wurde ebenso auf die Beziehungen zu Syrien-Palästina eingegangen sowie Fragen zur nubischen C-Gruppe und der Rolle der Nubier in Ägypten am Ende des dritten Jahrtausends behandelt.

description: Sensor-fault detection is crucial for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles. This paper introduces a novel kinematics-based approach for detecting and identifying faulty sensors, which is model-independent, rule-free, and applicable to ground and aerial vehicles. This method, called kinematics-based sensor fault detection (KSFD), relies on kinematic relations, sensor measurements, and real-time single and double numerical differentiation. Using onboard data from radar, rate gyros, magnetometers, and accelerometers, KSFD uniquely identifies a single faulty sensor in real time. To achieve this, adaptive input and state estimation (AISE) is used for real-time single and double numerical differentiation of the sensor data, and the single and double transport theorems are used to evaluate the consistency of data. Unlike model-based and knowledge-based methods, KSFD relies solely on sensor signals, kinematic relations, and AISE for real-time numerical differentiation. For ground vehicles, KSFD requires six kinematics-based error metrics, whereas, for aerial vehicles, nine error metrics are used. Simulated and experimental examples are provided to evaluate the effectiveness of KSFD.

description: While traditional machine learning can effectively tackle a wide range of problems, it primarily operates within a closed-world setting, which presents limitations when dealing with streaming data. As a solution, incremental learning emerges to address real-world scenarios involving new data's arrival. Recently, pre-training has made significant advancements and garnered the attention of numerous researchers. The strong performance of these pre-trained models (PTMs) presents a promising avenue for developing continual learning algorithms that can effectively adapt to real-world scenarios. Consequently, exploring the utilization of PTMs in incremental learning has become essential. This paper introduces a pre-trained model-based continual learning toolbox known as PILOT. On the one hand, PILOT implements some state-of-the-art class-incremental learning algorithms based on pre-trained models, such as L2P, DualPrompt, and CODA-Prompt. On the other hand, PILOT also fits typical class-incremental learning algorithms (e.g., DER, FOSTER, and MEMO) within the context of pre-trained models to evaluate their effectiveness.

A systematic review of multisystemic therapy efficacy in youths 21 years and younger
Creators: name: Barriere, Annecie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Purpose of Project: This review was aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the effectiveness of multisystemic therapy compared to treatment as usual in reducing disruptive behaviors in youths 21 years and younger. Introduction: Multisystemic therapy (MST), a holistic, highly individualized, goal-oriented, evidence-based approach has been shown to effectively reduce disruptive behaviors in youths by addressing various systems influencing the youth's behavior, including the family, school, peer group, community, and individual factors. Disruptive Behavior Disorders, highly prevalent in childhood, are linked to negative outcomes, including substance abuse, psychiatric hospitalization, violent behavior, and criminal convictions. The estimated criminal justice costs for a typical offender aged 24 range between $2.1 and $3.7 million. It remains imperative to determine MST's efficacy to make evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice.Inclusion Criteria: This review included full reports of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental study designs that investigated the effects of MST in children and adolescents aged 21 years and younger. Methodology: Five databases were searched to find published and unpublished literature. Eligible articles were assessed by two independent reviewers for relevancy, duplicates were removed, and full-text articles were appraised. Studies results were synthesized narratively due to significant heterogeneity between studies. Results: 12 RCTs and 4 Quasi-experimental studies were included. The total number of participants was 3,671. Compared to usual care, MST was more effective in reducing poor family functioning and in improving psychiatric symptomatology, externalizing and antisocial behaviors which include aggression and criminality. The impact of MST on adolescent peer relations was less consistent across different studies.Conclusion: MST effectively reduces disruptive behaviors in youths, while improving family, parenting, psychiatric symptoms, and externalizing behaviors. Implications for Practice: Practitioners should consider MST as a treatment option for disruptive behaviors in children and adolescents.

description: We prove strong consistency of spectral clustering under the degree-corrected hypergraph stochastic block model in the sparse regime where the maximum expected hyperdegree is as small as $Ω(\log n)$ with $n$ denoting the number of nodes. We show that the basic spectral clustering without preprocessing or postprocessing is strongly consistent in an even wider range of the model parameters, in contrast to previous studies that either trim high-degree nodes or perform local refinement. At the heart of our analysis is the entry-wise eigenvector perturbation bound derived by the leave-one-out technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first entry-wise error bound for degree-corrected hypergraph models, resulting in the strong consistency for clustering non-uniform hypergraphs with heterogeneous hyperdegrees.

description: In this paper, we present a next-best-view planning approach to autonomously size apple fruitlets. State-of-the-art viewpoint planners in agriculture are designed to size large and more sparsely populated fruit. They rely on lower resolution maps and sizing methods that do not generalize to smaller fruit sizes. To overcome these limitations, our method combines viewpoint sampling around semantically labeled regions of interest, along with an attention-guided information gain mechanism to more strategically select viewpoints that target the small fruits' volume. Additionally, we integrate a dual-map representation of the environment that is able to both speed up expensive ray casting operations and maintain the high occupancy resolution required to informatively plan around the fruit. When sizing, a robust estimation and graph clustering approach is introduced to associate fruit detections across images. Through simulated experiments, we demonstrate that our viewpoint planner improves sizing accuracy compared to state of the art and ablations. We also provide quantitative results on data collected by a real robotic system in the field.

QCD Running in Lepton Number Violating Meson and Tau Decays

description: Below the electroweak scale, new physics that violates lepton number in two units ($ΔL = 2$) and is mediated by heavy particle exchange can be parameterized by a dimension-9 low-energy effective Lagrangian. Operators in this Lagrangian involving first-generation quarks and leptons contribute to the short-range mechanism of neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) and therefore they are strongly constrained. On the other hand, operators with other quark and lepton families are bounded by the non-observation of different lepton number violating (LNV) meson and tau decays, such as $M_1^- \to M_2^+\ell_1^-\ell_2^-$ and $τ^- \to \ell^+ M_1^- M_2^-$. In this work, we calculate RGE-improved bounds on the Wilson coefficients involved in these decays. We calculate QCD corrections to the dimension-9 operator basis and find RG evolution matrices that describe the evolution of the Wilson coefficients across different energy scales. Unlike the running of operators involved in $0νββ$-decay, the general flavor structure leads to the mixing of not only different Lorentz structures but also of different quark-flavor configurations. Additionally, operators that vanish for the identical lepton case need to be added to the operator basis. We find new constraints on previously unbounded operators and the enhancement of bounds for specific Wilson coefficients. We also find new bounds coming from the mixing between operators with different quark-flavor configurations.

description: Abstract

Background: Nurses play an essential role in health services. According to the policy of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, number 40 of 2017, they have independent authority as professionals and develop professional careers. Many hospitals still have not implemented policies for developing professional career paths for clinical nurses. Introduction: Optimal understanding of the examination of early detection of cervical cancer in women, can prevent cervical cancer, that is, malignant diseases that can attack the reproductive organs of a woman. Goal: By having women of childbearing age self-examine for cervical cancer screening using a demonstration method in the province of Riau, this study aims to increase knowledge about reproductive organs. Methods: A pre-experimental-test-post-test design from one group was used in this study, and a demonstration time of counseling was given for 30 minutes, given twice for two weeks to women of childbearing age, to more quickly understand the content of the video. Using the purposive sampling technique, a total of 55 respondents were included in the study, which was carried out in the Garuda Pekanbaru Health Center's working area. The Reproductive Organs Self-Examination (ROSE) knowledge questionnaire served as the measuring tool and underwent validity and reliability testing. Using the Wilcoxon test, univariate and bivariate data analyses were performed. Results: Enhancing women's knowledge of reproductive organs through self-examination among those of childbearing age is crucial for cervical cancer screening, employing the demonstration method in Riau Province. The results obtained in this study, show that the p-value is 0.000, indicating the demographic profile of the participants. It revealed that 49.1 percent were in the late adulthood stage, 49.1 percent belonged to the Minang tribe, 80 percent were multiparous women, 50.9 percent had a high school education, and 72.7 percent were housewives. Conclusion: The identification of cervical cancer screening through the ROSE technique has the potential to enhance the understanding of women in their reproductive years regarding the implementation of cervical cancer screening. Recommendation: This study can serve as a reference for healthcare institutions to increase women's knowledge during childbearing age when they are very at risk of being easily exposed is about the prevention of cervical cancer.

description: Recent constructions have shown that interesting behaviours can be observed in the finiteness properties of Kähler groups and their subgroups. In this work, we push this further and exhibit, for each integer $k$, new hyperbolic groups admiting surjective homomorphisms to $\mathbb{Z}$ and to $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$, whose kernel is of type $\mathscr{F}_{k}$ but not of type $\mathscr{F}_{k+1}$. By a fibre product construction, we also find examples of nonnormal subgroups of Kähler groups with exotic finiteness properties.

description: Absolute separable (AS) quantum states are those states from which it is impossible to create entanglement, even under global unitary operations. It is known from the resource theory of non-absolute separability that the set of absolute separable states forms a convex and compact set, and global unitaries are free operations. We show that the action of a quantum switch controlled by an ancilla qubit over the global unitaries can break this robustness of AS states and produce ordinary separable states. First, we consider bipartite qubit systems and find the effect of quantum switch starting from the states sitting on the boundary of the set of absolute separable states. As particular examples, we illustrate what happens to modified Werner states and Bell diagonal (BD) states. For the Bell diagonal states, we provide the structure for the set of AS BD states and show how the structure changes under the influence of a switch. Further, we consider numerical generalisation of the global unitary operations and show that it is always possible to take AS states out of the convex set under switching operations. We also generalised our results in higher dimensions.

description: This paper provides a complete classification of torus-invariant curves in Cherkis bow varieties of type A. We develop combinatorial codes for compact and noncompact invariant curves involving the butterfly diagrams, Young diagrams, and binary contingency tables. As a key intermediate step, we also develop a novel tangent weight formula. Finally, we apply this new machinery to example bow varieties to demonstrate how to obtain their 1-skeletons (union of fixed points and invariant curves).
