description: Using DFT-based first-principles calculations, we demonstrate the tuning of the electronic structure of Weyl semimetal SrSi$_{2}$ via external uniaxial strain. The uniaxial strain facilitates the opening of bandgap along $Γ$-X direction and subsequent band inversion between Si $p$ and Sr $d$ orbitals. Z$_{2}$ invariants and surface states reveal conclusively that SrSi$_{2}$ under uniaxial strain is a strong topological insulator. Hence, uniaxial strain drives the semimetallic SrSi$_{2}$ into fully gapped topological insulating state depicting a semimetal to topological insulator phase transition. Our results highlight the suitability of uniaxial strain to gain control over the topological phase transitions and topological states in SrSi$_{2}$.

title: Need for Post-High School Technical Training in Ornamental Horticulture in Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah Counties
Creators: name: Peterson, Paul
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: The need for a technician training program in Ornamental Horticulture was studied in Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties utilizing interviews and mailed survey instruments.
The greatest job increase during the next five years is anticipated for nursery workers, landscape helpers and greenhouse workers. The smallest anticipated increase is for florists, floor foreman and nursery technicians.
Skills requiring the highest degree of competency for workers in ornamental horticulture, according to employers, are retail salesmanship, plant identification and disease and insect control.
Courses receiving the highest rating in an ornamental horticulture technician curriculum, as given by owners and managers and by educators, were botany, ornamental deciduous woody plants, soils and fertilizers, gardening techniques, and plant propagation. Courses receiving the lowest rating were three months or more on-the-job training, professional ethics and law, and economic entomology.

description: The development of attosecond pump-probe experiments at high repetition rate requires the development of novel attosecond sources maintaining a sufficient number of photons per pulse. We use 7 fs, 800 nm pulses from a non-collinear optical parametric chirped pulse amplification laser system to generate few-pulse attosecond pulse trains (APTs) with a flux of >106 photons per shot in the extreme ultraviolet at a repetition rate of 100 kHz. The pulse trains have been fully characterised by recording frequency-resolved optical gating for complete reconstruction of attosecond bursts (FROG-CRAB) traces with a velocity map imaging spectrometer. For the pulse retrieval from the FROG-CRAB trace a new ensemble retrieval algorithm has been employed that enables the reconstruction of the shape of the APTs in the presence of carrier envelope phase fluctuations of the few-cycle laser system. © 2020 The Author(s).

title: Distribution and Habitat Characteristics of the Kit Fox (Vulpes Macrotis) in Utah
Creators: name: McGrew, John C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: The distribution of the kit fox (Vulpes macrotis) in Utah was studied from 1974 to 1976 . A variety of methods were used, but a questionnaire sent annually to state and federal agencies, combined with interviews of fie ld personnel of these agencies, was found to be the most valuable. Kit foxes occur in western Utah and Washington County as previously reported. In addition, range extensions were noted in central Utah , and in Carbon, Emery, Grand, Wayne, and Garfield counties in east-central Utah. These range extensions total approximately 4,600-square miles (12,000-square kilometers). The kit fox probably also inhabits San Juan County , but this was not confirmed.
Stepwise discriminant analysis was performed on groups of skull s representing the three nominal subspecies of V. macrotis reported to occur in Utah (V. m. nevadensis, arsipus, and neomexicana). The skulls were judged to represent three distinct populations significantly different from each other in at least seven skull characteristics. Six specimens from eastern Utah and western Colorado were tentatively assigned to V. m. nevadensis.
Evidence for an effect of receptor density on ligand occupancy and agonist EC50.

description: Drug-receptor interaction theory predicts that proportional receptor occupancy is a function of ligand concentration as defined by a ligand-receptor affinity constant, and is independent of receptor density. However, we previously observed that the EC50 of 5-HT reduced as the density of 5-HT3 receptors increased, suggesting an effect of receptor density on occupancy. The current study was designed to maximise variability in experimentally observed currents and confirm this apparent contradiction prospectively. Xenopus oocytes were injected with RNA encoding 5-HT3A receptors under conditions designed to achieve varying receptor expression levels and 5-HT-evoked currents measured using two electrode voltage clamp. Results from 99 oocytes showed that as the maximal peak current increased from 0.05 µA to 12.1 µA there was a 3.7-fold reduction in EC50. Since occupancy and conductance are directly related in this system, this indicates that for a given concentration of 5-HT, proportional occupancy increases with increased receptor density. We conclude that normalising data masks this correlation, and can result in reduced accuracy of pharmacological measurements. We propose a mechanistic explanation for our observations.
Low energy effective theory of Fermi surface coupled with U(1) gauge field in 2+1 dimensions

description: We study the low energy effective theory for a non-Fermi liquid state in 2+1 dimensions, where a transverse U(1) gauge field is coupled with a patch of Fermi surface with N flavors of fermion in the large N limit. In the low energy limit, quantum corrections are classified according to the genus of the 2d surface on which Feynman diagrams can be drawn without a crossing in a double line representation, and all planar diagrams are important in the leading order. The emerging theory has the similar structure to the four dimensional SU(N) gauge theory in the large N limit. Because of strong quantum fluctuations caused by the abundant low energy excitations near the Fermi surface, low energy fermions remain strongly coupled even in the large N limit. As a result, there are infinitely many quantum corrections that contribute to the leading frequency dependence of the Green's function of fermion on the Fermi surface. On the contrary, the boson self energy is not modified beyond the one-loop level and the theory is stable in the large N limit. The non-perturbative nature of the theory also shows up in correlation functions of gauge invariant operators.

description: The Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was the first truth commission in the Pacific, established under the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act 20081 (TRC Act) in an effort to ‘promote national unity and reconciliation’ following the civil conflict which troubled the country between 1998 and 2003. The commission was publicly launched in 2008 by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former Chair of the South African TRC, and officially began operations in 2010 for two years. The commission presented its five-volume final report to Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo in February 2012; however, the report has yet to be publicly released or presented to parliament, despite requirements in the Act to do so. The ongoing silence of the government led to the editor of the final report, long-term Solomon Islands resident Bishop Terry Brown, unofficially releasing the report electronically in early 2013.

description: Transmaskuline Stimmen sind in der Logopädie ein Nischengebiet. Oft wird in der Literatur davon ausgegangen, dass die Stimmtherapie von transmaskulinen Menschen obsolet ist, da die Stimme sich durch eine Hormontherapie automatisch vermännlicht. Jedoch führt diese Therapie nicht bei allen transmaskulinen Menschen zu einem ausreichenden Erfolg. Ausserdem sind gemäss einer Studie funktionelle Stimmprobleme während der Transition von transmaskulinen Menschen häufig.Ziel dieser Arbeit, ist herauszufinden, welche Rolle die Logopädie bei transmaskulinen Menschen spielt. Dazu wurde eine Gruppendiskussion mit fünf transmaskulinen Menschen über ihre Stimme durchgeführt. Diese Aussagen wurden mittels einer inhaltlich strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Logopädie bei der Therapie von transmaskulinen Menschen im Bereich der Genderdysphorie und der Therapie der Stimmfunktion eine unterstützende Rolle einnehmen kann.

description: Directing cells is essential to organize multi-cellular organisms that are built up from subunits executing specific tasks. This guidance requires a precisely controlled symphony of biochemical, mechanical, and structural signals. While many guiding mechanisms focus on 2D structural patterns or 3D biochemical gradients, injectable material platforms that elucidate how cellular processes are triggered by defined 3D physical guiding cues are still lacking but crucial for the repair of soft tissues. Herein, a recently developed anisotropic injectable hybrid hydrogel (Anisogel) contains rod-shaped microgels that orient in situ by a magnetic field and has propelled studying 3D cell guidance. Here, the Anisogel is used to investigate the dependence of axonal guidance on microgel dimensions, aspect ratio, and distance. While large microgels result in high material anisotropy, they significantly reduce neurite outgrowth and thus the guidance efficiency. Narrow and long microgels enable strong axonal guidance with maximal outgrowth including cell sensing over distances of tens of micrometers in 3D. Moreover, nerve cells decide to orient inside the Anisogel within the first three days, followed by strengthening of the alignment, which goes along with oriented fibronectin deposition. These findings demonstrate the potential of the Anisogel to tune structural and mechanical parameters for specific applications. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH

description: The aim of this research is to introduce the notion of multi-transitivity in non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems(NDDS) with respect to a vector. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which a NDDS is multitransitive and strongly multi-transitive. Examples and counter-examples are constructed to justify that results in Remark 3.7 [1] what is true in autonomous discrete dynamical systems(ADDS) need not be true in NDDS. Also, an affirmative answer to the question posed by Salman and Das [9] is given. Finally, the Furstenberg family generated by a vector characterises multi-transitivity with respect to a vector for NDDS is obtained.
title: Nitrogen Fixation, Ammonification, Denitrification in Great Basin Arid Soils
Creators: name: Klubek, Brian Paul
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: The inputs and losses of nitrogen from Great Basin arid soils were studied using the acetylene reduction and 15N techniques. Filamentous blue-green algae were observed to be the predominant algal group in the soil crusts. The bacterial association with this group of algae suggest a phycosphere-like effect, thus allowing heterotrophic nitrogen fixation and denitrification to occur. Up to 17.5 mg N/100 g soil was found to have been fixed in surface soils (0 to 3 em) during a three week incubation period, while 45.9 mg N/100 g soil was fixed in a five week incubation period. Ammonium sulfate and ammonium sulfate plus plant material amendments reduced the gain in nitrogen by 41 to 100 percent. 15 + 15 - Fifty to sixty percent of the applied NH4-N and N0 3-N was denitrified during the first week of incubation while 70 to 80 percent of the NH 4-N was lost in a three- to five-week incubation period. These data suggest that a potential for heterotrophic nitrogen fixation exists, and under optimal conditions, significant gains in soil nitrogen may be achieved. However, in the presence of allelochemic agents, the potential gain in soil nitrogen may be reduced or inhibited. In addition, the denitrification potentials of these soils may also limit the input of nitrogen.
The application of protein ( casein) to these soils resulted in an ammonification rate of 50 to 60 percent. 15 Fixed N2 indicated a 21 to 48.8 percent ammonification rate, thus suggesting that the mineraliztion of NH 4 was the rate limiting step for nitrogen loss.
Ammonia volatilization accounted for less than a five percent nitrogen loss, regardless of experimental conditions.
The inhibitory effects of plant material and litter extracts, and ''N-Serve" on heterotrophic nitrogen fixation has been assessed. The data suggest that the nitrogen fixing population is sensitive to the inhibitory effects of such agents .

title: Social, Psychological, Economic Factors, and the Migration Intentions of Senior High School Students in Utah
Creators: name: Nijim, Elias Toumeh
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: This study deals with a comparison between rural, urban, and metropolitan students as to their migration intentions and factors associated with their migration intentions. The study is based on the initial stage of a larger longitudinal panel study of 2,500 high school seniors in public high schools in the state of Utah in 1975. Survey research was the principal method of investigation. Stratified random sample was used for choosing the students and administered questionnaire was used to collect the information. Proportions and crosstabulations were the statistical techniques used in the analysis with chi square and gamma as the statistics for measuring differences and associations.
As to plans, career preference, migration intentions, and the factors associated with migration intentions, it was observed that there are more differences than similarities between the rural, urban, and metropolitan students. With respect to plans after graduation, it was found that the majority of the students intended to go to college. The majority of the students also indicated that professional work is their long-run career preference. Metropolitan students chose college and professional careers slightly more than rural and urban students. With respect t o migration intentions after graduation, a larger proportion of rural respondents intend to migrate followed by urban and then metropolitan. Intrastate migration intentions are the pattern of the rural respondents, while interstate are the pattern for the metropolitan students. For those who intend to migrate within state, intrametropolitan counties are the pattern for the metropolitan respondents, while inter-counties are the pattern for the rural and urban students. With respect to long-run migration intentions, it was observed that students' choice of residence after graduation may not be the same as that place where they intend to live most of the remainder of their lives.
Several factors were hypothesized to be associated with students' migration intentions. Some of these factors were found to have higher degrees of associations with students' migration intentions than others. Also, the degree and direction of association for most of the factors were observed to vary with respect to the students' area of residence. This indicates that most of these factors are conditionally associated with the students' migration intentions. In other words, the place of residence--rural, urban, metropolitan--seems to play a major part in influencing the degree, significance, and direction of association between these factors and students' migration intentions.

description: Dimensional reduction along time offers a powerful way to study stationary solutions of 4D symmetric supergravity models via group-theoretical methods. We apply this approach systematically to extremal, BPS and non-BPS, spherically symmetric black holes, and obtain their "fake superpotential" W. The latter provides first order equations for the radial problem, governs the mass and entropy formula and gives the semi-classical approximation to the radial wave function. To achieve this goal, we note that the Noether charge for the radial evolution must lie in a certain Lagrangian submanifold of a nilpotent orbit of the 3D continuous duality group, and construct a suitable parametrization of this Lagrangian. For general non-BPS extremal black holes in N=8 supergravity, W is obtained by solving a non-standard diagonalization problem, which reduces to a sextic polynomial in $W^2$ whose coefficients are SU(8) invariant functions of the central charges. By consistent truncation we obtain W for other supergravity models with a symmetric moduli space. In particular, for the one-modulus $S^3$ model, $W^2$ is given explicitely as the root of a cubic polynomial. The STU model is investigated in detail and the nilpotency of the Noether charge is checked on explicit solutions.

description: Recent investigations of the WD + MS channel of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) imply that this channel may be the main contribution to the old population (>1Gyr) of SNe Ia. In the WD + MS channel, the WD could accrete material from a main-sequence or a slightly evolved star until it reaches the Chandrasekhar mass limit. The companions in this channel would survive after SN explosion and show distinguishing properties. In this Letter, based on SN Ia production regions of the WD + MS channel and three formation channels of WD + MS systems, we performed a detailed binary population synthesis study to obtain the properties of the surviving companions. The properties can be verified by future observations. We find that the surviving companions of the old SNe Ia have a low mass, which provides a possible way to explain the formation of the population of single low-mass WDs (<0.45Msun).

title: Examination of the Effect of Age, Education, Parity, Pregravid Weight, Pregnancy Weight Gain, and County of Residence on Incidence of Low Birth Weight Infants in Utah and Nevada
Creators: name: Read, Marsha H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: One of the primary purposes of the investigation was to examine the impact of a number of variables on the incidence of low birth weight in two states, Utah and Nevada, that have divergent low birth weight incidences. The sample size obtained from birth certificate data for this purpose was 51,147 (1969-1974) for Nevada and 26,464 (1970) and 29,422 (1974) for Utah. Additionally, separate analyses were made for Utah and Nevada data available for the year 1974. The respective sample sizes for this year were 29,422 (Utah) and 8,256 (Nevada). Least squares analysis indicated sex of the infant, race of the mother, age of the mother, parity, and county of residence were all significantly related ( P < 0.01) to birth weight of the infant. Examination of the birth certificate data indicated, the unmarried, black adolescent is most apt to bear a low birth weight infant in both Utah and Nevada, but the incidence of young, black, unmarried adolescents is higher in Nevada accounting in part for the divergent overall incidence of l ow birth weight be tween the two states.
To supplement birth certificate information, additional questionnaire sampling was conducted in Utah and Nevada. Information on pregravid weight, pregnancy weight gain, protein intake, energy intake, smoking habits, socio-economic status, exercise patterns and over-the-counter drug use was obtained from 184 women (Utah 88, Nevada= 96). Student's t-test, stepwise regression and least squares analysis indicated pregravid weight and pregnancy weight gain were the only variables significantly related (P < 0.01) to birth weight.
Energy dissipation in paper tearing as time-dependent phenomenon
Creators: name: Sun, Bernard Ching-Huey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The nature of ballistic-type internal paper tear test methods has been reviewed. The kinetic energy of the tester sector is considered to be the prime contributor to paper rupture. In agreement with energy dissipation concepts and the principle of energy conservation, a mathematical model expressing tearing energy was derived based on kinetic energy variations in paper during tearing. It is shown that this mathematical model can be used to calculate the net energy of the tester sector, which is available for tearing paper, and the residual energy. Consequently, the difference between net and residual energy, or tearing energy, is that portion expended in the rupture process. Furthermore, the mathematical model relates tearing energy to velocity, hence can be used to examine the effect of tear rate and time-dependent properties of paper subjected to tearing stress. A method was devised for measuring the time required to tear standard samples. From an oscilloscope trace, the tear distance and time relationship was measured and represented by a quadratic equation. From this equation, sector swing and tearing velocities were calculated for computing various energy factors and their variation at any instant of the tearing process. Results have shown that ballistic-type tear test methods are time-dependent, in that time required to tear paper varies with the sample condition. The higher the number of plies torn simultaneously, the longer was the time required to tear a paper sheet. The energy required to tear paper was also time-dependent, increasing with decreasing tear rate. It was found that the direct relationship between tearing strength and number of plies torn simultaneously does not always hold, but that a constant direct relationship exists between tearing strength and tearing energy. Although the ballistic-type tear test is time-dependent, inherent specimen properties may have a profound effect on results. Test results with an Elmendorf tear tester on five paper grades varying in tearing strength from 14 to 156 g/sheet have confirmed that the energy dissipation concept is adequate.

description: We study the stratum in the set of all quadratic differential systems $\dot{x}=P_2(x,y), \dot{y}=Q_2(x,y)$ with a center, known as the codimension-four case $Q_4$. It has a center and a node and a rational first integral. The limit cycles under small quadratic perturbations in the system are determined by the zeros of the first Poincaré-Pontryagin-Melnikov integral $I$. We show that the orbits of the unperturbed system are elliptic curves, and $I$ is a complete elliptic integral. Then using Picard-Fuchs equations and the Petrov's method (based on the argument principle), we set an upper bound of eight for the number of limit cycles produced from the period annulus around the center.

General information on the project, including its objectives and partners, facts and results, can be found on foodsafetymarket.eu. The document offers a preliminary market assessment report, starting with the identification of stakeholders in a broader context, and an analysis of the competitive Food Safety landscape. Second, value propositions for key customer segments have been identified, along with opportunities and challenges for market entry and growth. A methodology for risk analysis for the TheFSM adoption has been developed. Together, these pieces lay out the groundwork for business planning and business growth in the subsequent stages of the project. This deliverable builds on the critical findings from the D1.1 Report on Requirements for TheFSM. It is conceived as a living document that will be continually enriched with new insights and perspectives. The Report is centered around the following underlying objectives: Formulate a business model and a growth strategy, supported by risk assessment and practical advice for the adoption of the TheFSM in key customer segments; Deliver the exploitation strategy, for the benefit of the partners and the European Food Safety industry, while protecting intellectual property created by the project. Further work on the market analysis will be carried out in M12 of the TheFSM project, as part of the deliverable D7.2 Ongoing Documentation of Governance and Business Models. In M12, we will publish our Annual Report of Marketing, Sales & Partnership Activities (D7.3), whereas in M36 we will release D7.4 Future Sustainability Roadmap for TheFSM.

description: A pseudodiagram is a diagram of a knot with some crossing information missing. We review and expand the theory of pseudodiagrams introduced by R. Hanaki. We then extend this theory to the realm of virtual knots, a generalization of knots. In particular, we investigate how much crossing information must be known to conclude that a diagram is a diagram of the unknot (the trivializing number). We also consider how much information is necessary to identify a non-trivial knot, a classical knot, or a non-classical knot. We then apply pseudodiagram theory to develop new upper bounds on unknotting number, virtual unknotting number, and genus.

description: The properties of the two-flavored Gross-Neveu model with nonzero current quark mass are investigated in the (1+1)-dimensional spacetime at finite isospin $μ_I$ as well as quark number $μ$ chemical potentials and zero temperature. The consideration is performed in the limit $N_c\to\infty$, i.e. in the case with an infinite number of colored quarks. In the plane of parameters $μ_I,μ$ a rather rich phase structure is found, which contains phases with and without pion condensation. We have found a great variety of one-quark excitations of these phases, including gapless and gapped quasiparticles. Moreover, the mesonic mass spectrum in each phase is also investigated.

description: A sampling of teachers from two school districts was interviewed to determine the amount of use and factors affecting utilization of ITV programs in the classroom.
The findings revealed a high percentage of teachers using ITV programs in their classes.Physical surroundings had the greatest influence on TV usage. Unavailability of TV sets and poor reception of t he TV signal hamper teachers usage of ITV.
The teachers who used ITV incorporated the elements of pre-program preparation of the student: or what they we r e about to view and followup materials after the program.
Most of the teachers felt that ITV was moderately effective as a teaching tool.

description: As a continuation of our preceding work [R. Erdem and N. Alata, Eur. Phys. J. Plus 135, 911 (2020), https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/s13360-020-00934-3], we used the thermodynamic geometry in the Ruppeiner formalism to study the geometrical aspects of the multicritical phase diagrams for the spin-1 Blume-Emery- Griffiths model in the presence of crystal field. We derived an expression for the thermodynamic curvature or Ricci scalar (R) and analyzed its temperature and crystal field behaviours near interesting critical and multicritical points. Our findings are presented as geometrical phase diagrams including critical and multicritical topology. From these diagrams, new vanishing curvature lines (R = 0) extending into the ferromagnetic or paramagnetic phases beyond the critical points and zero point temperature are observed.

description: The Higgs and some of the Standard Model superpartners may have been copiously produced at LEP and the Tevatron without being detected. We study a novel scenario of this type in which the Higgs decays predominantly into a light hidden sector either directly or through light SUSY states. Subsequent cascades increase the multiplicity of hidden sector particles which, after decaying back into the Standard Model, appear in the detector as clusters of collimated leptons known as lepton jets. We identify the relevant collider observables that characterize this scenario, and study a wide range of LEP and Tevatron searches to recover the viable regions in the space of observables. We find that the Higgs decaying to lepton jets can be hidden when the event topology mimics that of hadronic backgrounds. Thus, as many as 10^4 leptonic Higgs and SUSY decays may be hiding in the LEP and Tevatron data. We present benchmark models with a 100 GeV Higgs that are consistent with all available collider constraints. We end with a short discussion of strategies for dedicated searches at LEP, the Tevatron and the LHC, that allow for a discovery of the Higgs or SUSY particles decaying to lepton jets.

description: This working paper explores the governance of protracted displacement across global, regional and domestic levels in the context of the project “Transnational Figurations of Displacement” (TRAFIG). Themultiple contemporary crises that have led to forced displacement show not only the limits of a tight definition of ‘refugee’ but also highlight the gaps in international protection frameworks. A significant number of those forcibly displaced are in protracted displacement situations. This paper is an effort to make sense of the legislative and policy frameworks of protection that apply globally, regionally and domestically, and the way in which these frameworks facilitate or hinder solutions for people in protracted displacement. We evaluate how these frameworks contribute (directly or indirectly) to resolving or creating protracted displacement, assess how they contribute to relevant policy developments and identify engagement trends and (unintended) effects. Along the way, we also draw comparative insights across different global, regional and domestic levels, including eight different countries that host large groups of displaced people and are the focus of the TRAFIG project: Greece, Germany and Italy in Europe; Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Tanzania in Africa; and Jordan and Pakistan in Asia. We explore some selected gaps in the current systems of governance of displacement while concentrating on three key perspectives: governing protection, exercising rights and accessing services, and mobility and transnational dimensions of displacement. We conclude with ten key messages regarding the shortcomings of the current governance system of displacement. They highlight the need for stronger stakeholder collaboration, integration of global and local policies, enhanced focus on IDPs, investment in progressive regional policies, redesign of EU policies to avoid promotion of protracted displacement, greater ownership of processes and resources, de-politicisation of displacement policies, alignment of durable solutions with development-oriented interventions and realisation of the development potential of refugee integration. They also focus on mobility and translocal connectivity as a fourth durable solution to protracted displacement.

description: Currently, there is scant information regarding the features associated to the persistence of post-COVID-19 syndrome, which is the main aim of the present study. A cohort study of 102 COVID-19 patients was conducted. The post-COVID-19 symptoms were assessed by a standardised questionnaire. Lymphocyte immunophenotyping was performed by flow cytometry and chemokines/cytokines, neutrophil extracellular traps, the tripartite motif 63, anti-cellular, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were addressed in serum. The primary outcome was the persistence of post-COVID-19 syndrome after six months follow-up. Thirteen patients (12.7%) developed the primary outcome and had a more frequent history of post-COVID-19 syndrome 3 months after infection onset (p = .044), increased levels of IL-1α (p = .011) and IP-10 (p = .037) and increased CD57 expression in CD8+ T cells (p = .003). There was a trend towards higher levels of IFN-γ (p = .051), IL-1β (p = .062) and IL-6 (p = .087). The history of post COVID-19 in the previous 3 months, obesity, baseline serum MIP-1α and IP-10, and CD57 expression in CD8+ T cells were independently associated with the persistence of post-COVID-19 syndrome. Our data suggest an important relationship between a pro-inflammatory state mediated through metabolic pathways related to obesity and increased cellular senescence as a key element in the persistence of post-COVID-19 syndrome at six months of follow-up.
Multitasking while Driving: How Drivers Self-Regulate their Interaction with In-Vehicle Touchscreens in Automated Driving

description: Driver assistance systems are designed to increase comfort and safety by automating parts of the driving task. At the same time, modern in-vehicle information systems with large touchscreens provide the driver with numerous options for entertainment, information, or communication, and are a potential source of distraction. However, little is known about how driving automation affects how drivers interact with the center stack touchscreen, i.e., how drivers self-regulate their behavior in response to different levels of driving automation. To investigate this, we apply multilevel models to a real-world driving dataset consisting of 31,378 sequences. Our results show significant differences in drivers' interaction and glance behavior in response to different levels of driving automation, vehicle speed, and road curvature. During automated driving, drivers perform more interactions per touchscreen sequence and increase the time spent looking at the center stack touchscreen. Specifically, at higher levels of driving automation (level 2), the mean glance duration toward the center stack touchscreen increases by 36% and the mean number of interactions per sequence increases by 17% compared to manual driving. Furthermore, partially automated driving has a strong impact on the use of more complex UI elements (e.g., maps) and touch gestures (e.g., multitouch). We also show that the effect of driving automation on drivers' self-regulation is greater than that of vehicle speed and road curvature. The derived knowledge can inform the design and evaluation of touch-based infotainment systems and the development of context-aware driver monitoring systems.
