description: This article presents a systematic review of optical see-through head mounted display (OST-HMD) usage in augmented reality (AR) surgery applications from 2013 to 2020. Articles were categorised by: OST-HMD device, surgical speciality, surgical application context, visualisation content, experimental design and evaluation, accuracy and human factors of human-computer interaction. 91 articles fulfilled all inclusion criteria. Some clear trends emerge. The Microsoft HoloLens increasingly dominates the field, with orthopaedic surgery being the most popular application (28.6\%). By far the most common surgical context is surgical guidance (n=58) and segmented preoperative models dominate visualisation (n = 40). Experiments mainly involve phantoms (n = 43) or system setup (n = 21), with patient case studies ranking third (n = 19), reflecting the comparative infancy of the field. Experiments cover issues from registration to perception with very different accuracy results. Human factors emerge as significant to OST-HMD utility. Some factors are addressed by the systems proposed, such as attention shift away from the surgical site and mental mapping of 2D images to 3D patient anatomy. Other persistent human factors remain or are caused by OST-HMD solutions, including ease of use, comfort and spatial perception issues. The significant upward trend in published articles is clear, but such devices are not yet established in the operating room and clinical studies showing benefit are lacking. A focused effort addressing technical registration and perceptual factors in the lab coupled with design that incorporates human factors considerations to solve clear clinical problems should ensure that the significant current research efforts will succeed.

description: In the J, H, and Ks bands survey of the the Galactic Center region over an area of 2deg x 5deg, we have found many dark clouds, among which a distinguished chain of dark clouds can be identified with a quiescent CO cloud. The distances of the clouds is estimated to be 3.2-4.2 kpc, corresponding to the Norma arm by our new method to determine distance to dark clouds using the cumulative number of stars against J-Ks colors. Adopting these estimated distances, the size is about 70 pc in length and the total mass of the cloud is 6x10^4 M_solar. Three compact HII regions harbor in the cloud, indicating that star forming activities are going on at the cores of the quiescent CO cloud on the spiral arm.

title: Le cinéma militant au service d'un devoir de mémoire: l'exemple de René Vautier
Creators: name: Kennedy, Sean
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the possible role of Rene Vautier’s cinema in the establishment of a devoir de mémoire in France for the end of colonisation and the beginnings of the decolonisation process. A communist activist and relatively unknown filmmaker in the history of French cinema, Vautier made films in Africa and France that were heavily censored by the French state, while at the same time creating film production collectives to produce these works. Using four of his films, Peuple en marche (1963), Les Ajoncs (1970), Avoir 20 ans dans les Aurès (1972), and La Folle de Toujane (1974), we will analyze how Vautier prioritises the necessity to reflect the reality of the era. We will then consider how Vautier avails of this in order to evoke a reflection on three themes: between the colonised, linguistic decolonisation and French self-interrogations on the colonial regime.

description: We revisit the issue of the correct Lagrangian description of a perfect fluid (pressure versus minus energy density) in relation with modified gravity theories in which galactic luminous matter couples nonminimally to the Ricci scalar. These Lagrangians are only equivalent when the fluid couples minimally to gravity and not otherwise; in the presence of nonminimal coupling they give rise to two distinct theories with different predictions.

Density-enhanced gas and dust shells in a new chemical model for IRC+10216
Creators: name: Millar, M. A. Cordiner T. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new chemical model is presented for the carbon-rich circumstellar envelope of the AGB star IRC+10216. The model includes shells of matter with densities that are enhanced relative to the surrounding circumstellar medium. The chemical model uses an updated reaction network including reactions from the RATE06 database and a more detailed anion chemistry. In particular, new mechanisms are considered for the formation of CN-, C3N- and C2H-, and for the reactions of hydrocarbon anions with atomic nitrogen and with the most abundant cations in the circumstellar envelope. New reactions involving H- are included which result in the production of significant amounts of C2H- and CN- in the inner envelope. The calculated radial molecular abundance profiles for the hydrocarbons C2H, C4H and C6H and the cyanopolyynes HC3N and HC5N show narrow peaks which are in better agreement with observations than previous models. Thus, the narrow rings observed in molecular microwave emission surrounding IRC+10216 are interpreted as arising in regions of the envelope where the gas and dust densities are greater than the surrounding circumstellar medium. Our models show that CN- and C2H- may be detectable in IRC+10216 despite the very low theorised radiative electron attachment rates of their parent neutral species. We also show that magnesium isocyanide (MgNC) can be formed in the outer envelope through radiative association involving Mg+ and the cyanopolyyne species.

description: An infinite family of finite axisymmetric charged dust disks is presented. The disks are obtained by solving the Einstein-Maxwell equations for conformastatic spacetimes by assuming a functional dependency between the time-like component of the electromagnetic potential and the metric potential in terms of a solution of the Laplace equation. We give solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations with disk sources of finite extension in which the charge density is proportional to the energy surface density. We apply the well-know "inverse" approach to the gravitational potential representing finite thin disks given by Gonzalez and Reina to generate conformastatic charged dust thin discs. Exact examples of conformastatic metrics with disk sources are worked out in full.

description: This paper presents interferometric and single-dish CO observations along with HI data obtained for the oxygen-rich semi-regular variable RS Cnc, in order to probe its circumstellar environment at different scales. With the Plateau de Bure Interferometer and the IRAM 30-m telescope, we detect both the CO(1-0) and the CO(2-1) rotational lines from RS Cnc. The line profiles are composite, with two components of half-width ~2 km/s and ~8 km/s respectively. Whereas the narrow velocity component seems to originate from an equatorial disk in the central part of the CO envelope, the broad component reveals a bipolar structure, with a north-south velocity gradient. In addition, we obtain new HI data on the source and around it in a field of almost 1 square degree. The HI line is centered at v_LSR = 7 km/s in agreement with CO observations. A new reduction process reveals a complex extended structure in the northwest direction, of estimated size ~18 arcmin, with a PA (~310 degrees) opposite to the direction of the stellar proper motion (~140 degrees). We derive an HI mass of ~3 10^-2 M_sun for this structure. Based on a non-spherical simulation, we find that this structure is consistent with arising from the interaction of the star undergoing mass loss at an average rate of ~10^-7 M_sun.yr^-1 over ~2-3 10^5 years with the interstellar medium. This work illustrates the powerful complementarity of CO and HI observations with regard to a more complete description of circumstellar environments around AGB stars.

description: It was observed recently by Randall and Wise that, any particle in the Standard Model cannot decay to $e^+e^-$ and $γγ$ final states with comparably measurable branching ratios. This is also true for most extensions of the Standard Model, with the Randall-Sundrum model as an outstanding exception. In this paper, we show that two-Higgs-Doublet-Models (2HDM) yield another possible exception if certain parameters are properly chosen. In addition, we have checked that this model survives the tests of low energy processes, including the anomalous magnetic moment and electric dipole moment of leptons, lepton-flavor-violating decays $μ^- \to e^- γ$ and $e^- e^+ e^-$.

title: Assessment of localized pain sensitivity over the transtibial residual limb and its variability among male veterans with amputation
Creators: name: Ghoseiri, Kamiar
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: Localization of pain sensitization has clinical importance, however, rarely been assessed in amputees. The objective of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of pain over the residual limb and its variability among veterans with transtibial amputation. Pain sensitivity in 12 locations was explored twice in 19 veteran amputees using pressure algometry. The lowest pressure pain threshold (PPT) and pressure tolerance (PT) was recorded at the distal end of the residual limb (20.5 and 33 Ncm⁻², p=0.13), and the highest PPT and PT was recorded at the mid-patellar tendon (73.4 and 94.3 Ncm⁻², p=0.03). There was a significant moderate correlation (r=0.48-0.52) between pressure pain and daily hours of prosthesis use. A localized pattern for sensitivity to pain over the transtibial residual limb was obtained that can be used to improve the transtibial socket design and fit as well as the selection of prevention, evaluation, and treatment methods.

description: We investigate the hetero-epitaxial growth of thin film deposited on a (001) substrate via molecular dynamics simulations, using six fcc transition metals as our modeling systems. By studying the radial distribution function in the film layers, we demonstrate the importance of the sign of lattice mismatch on the layer structure. For positive lattice mismatches, the film favors pseudomorphic growth, whereas for negative mismatches, a sharp transition happens within the first few monolayers of adatoms and the film layers are transformed into the close-packed (111) structure. We propose a way to quantify the compositional percentage of different planar structures in an epilayer, and demonstrate the strong asymmetric effect between the tensile and compressive cases of deposition. How temperature affects the asymmetry is also discussed.

title: Uncovering the discourse of Canadian athletes in the American post-secondary system
Creators: name: Ferreira, Matthew
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: The fields and training facilities may exist in Canada, but the chase for an athletic scholarship leads many of our young athletes on a path to the United States. Many Canadians who embark on this migration go on to have successful careers in athletics. Others do not experience similar success and they return home before they had expected. There are many reasons why this might happen. These reasons, which are to be teased out of individuals’ accounts of their experiences, are the topic of this study. In examining why Canadian student-athletes return home earlier than expected from the United States without completing their education, the individual experiences of the athletes are key to understanding their story. In examining the interviews conducted as part of this study, each athlete was treated as an individual case study. The purpose of this study is to analyze the experiences of Canadian student athletes who earned a scholarship to a U.S. institution to play collegiate sports but returned to Canada without completing their intended program of study. This raises the question of why their plans were not realized. Specifically, I was interested in understanding their individual decisions to terminate their studies and intercollegiate athletic careers in the United States. Key findings include the potential of being unprepared for the transition to become self-dependent, relationships with coaches and teammates as well as the expectations student-athletes had about what their experience would likely be as opposed to the reality that they encountered. This study seeks to understand how and why these initially unanticipated outcomes came to pass.

Uniform stabilization of Navier-Stokes equations in critical $L^q$-based Sobolev and Besov spaces by finite dimensional interior localized feedback controls

description: We consider 2- or 3-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations defined on a bounded domain $Ω$, with no-slip boundary conditions and subject to an external force, assumed to cause instability. We then seek to uniformly stabilize such N-S system, in the vicinity of an unstable equilibrium solution, in critical $L^q$-based Sobolev and Besov spaces, by finite dimensional feedback controls. These spaces are `close' to $L^3(Ω)$ for $d=3$. This functional setting is significant. In fact, in the case of the uncontrolled N-S dynamics, extensive research efforts have recently lead to the space $L^3(\mathbb{R}^3)$ as being a critical space for the issue of well-posedness in the full space. Thus, our present work manages to solve the stated uniform stabilization problem for the controlled N-S dynamics in a correspondingly related function space setting. In this paper, the feedback controls are localized on an arbitrarily small open interior subdomain $ω$ of $Ω$. In addition to providing a solution of the uniform stabilization problem in such critical function space setting, this paper manages also to much improve and simplify, at both the conceptual and computational level, the solution given in the more restrictive Hilbert space setting in the literature. Moreover, such treatment sets the foundation for the authors' final goal in a subsequent paper. Based critically on said low functional level where compatibility conditions are not recognized, the subsequent paper solves in the affirmative a presently open problem: whether uniform stabilization by localized tangential boundary feedback controls, which-in addition-are finite dimensional, is also possible in dim $Ω= 3$.

description: We introduce an application of Activity-based Costing (ABC) to specific healthcare procedures. The analyses carried out, using data of the Perugia’s hospital. The main purpose of our study is to analyze the cost incurred between two procedures that have the same DRG (diagnosis-related group), in order to highlight how the costs are different in relation to the different cost procedure., highlight cost between the two procedures. Moreover, we identify also differences in the level of resource absorption in both procedures and, therefore, different cost impacts on the procedures are analyzed. In this respect, the application of the ABC has the undoubted advantage of determining the cost of healthcare service and support more objective decisions to be taken by healthcare management.

description: In this paper we present a new and simple analytic solution for tachyon condensation in open bosonic string field theory. Unlike the B_0 gauge solution, which requires a carefully regulated discrete sum of wedge states subtracted against a mysterious "phantom" counter term, this new solution involves a continuous integral of wedge states, and no regularization or phantom term is necessary. Moreover, we can evaluate the action and prove Sen's conjecture in a mere few lines of calculation.

description: A many-body theory of molecular junction transport based on nonequilibrium Green's functions is developed, which treats coherent quantum effects and Coulomb interactions on an equal footing. The central quantity of the many-body theory is the Coulomb self-energy matrix $Σ_{\rm C}$ of the junction. $Σ_{\rm C}$ is evaluated exactly in the sequential tunneling limit, and the correction due to finite tunneling width is evaluated self-consistently using a conserving approximation based on diagrammatic perturbation theory on the Keldysh contour. Our approach reproduces the key features of both the Coulomb blockade and coherent transport regimes simultaneously in a single unified transport theory. As a first application of our theory, we have calculated the thermoelectric power and differential conductance spectrum of a benzenedithiol-gold junction using a semi-empirical $π$-electron Hamiltonian that accurately describes the full spectrum of electronic excitations of the molecule up to 8--10eV.

The main components of the instrument are microscope objectives, interference filters and atmospheric dispersion correction prisms. The PhotonMAX-512B CCD camera using a back-illuminated CCD97 allows up to 20 speckle images (with 512$\times$512 pix resolution) per second storage on the hard drive. Due to high quantum efficiency (93% in the maximum at 550 nm), and high transmission of its optical elements, the new camera can be used for diffraction-limited (0.02$''$) image reconstruction of $15^{m}$ stars under good seeing conditions. The main advantages of the new system over the previous generation BTA speckle interferometer are examined.

Design and construction of a novel tribometer with on-line topography and wear measurement

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present a novel experimental platform that links topographical and material changes with the friction and wear behavior of oil-lubricated metal surfaces. This concept combines state-of-the-art methods for the analysis of the surface topography on the micro- and nano-scale with the online measurement of wear. At the same time, it allows for frictional and lateral force detection. Information on the topography of one of the two surfaces is gathered in-situ with a 3D holography microscope at a maximum frequency of 15 fps and higher resolution images are provided at defined time intervals by an atomic force microscope (AFM). The wear measurement is conducted on-line by means of radio nuclide technique (RNT). The quantitative measurement of the lateral and frictional forces is conducted with a custom-built 3D force sensor. The surfaces can be lubricated with an optically transparent oil or water. The stability and precision of the setup have been tested in a model experiment. The results show that the exact same position can be relocated and examined after each load cycle. Wear and topography measurements were performed with a radioactive labeled iron pin sliding against an iron plate.

description: Estimation of a dynamical system's latent state subject to sensor noise and model inaccuracies remains a critical yet difficult problem in robotics. While Kalman filters provide the optimal solution in the least squared sense for linear and Gaussian noise problems, the general nonlinear and non-Gaussian noise case is significantly more complicated, typically relying on sampling strategies that are limited to low-dimensional state spaces. In this paper we devise a general inference procedure for filtering of nonlinear, non-Gaussian dynamical systems that exploits the differentiability of both the update and prediction models to scale to higher dimensional spaces. Our method, Stein particle filter, can be seen as a deterministic flow of particles, embedded in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, from an initial state to the desirable posterior. The particles evolve jointly to conform to a posterior approximation while interacting with each other through a repulsive force. We evaluate the method in simulation and in complex localization tasks while comparing it to sequential Monte Carlo solutions.

description: We present the final public data release of the VLT/ISAAC near-infrared imaging survey in the GOODS-South field. The survey covers an area of 172.5, 159.6 and 173.1 arcmin^2 in the J, H, and Ks bands, respectively. For point sources total limiting magnitudes of J=25.0, H=24.5, and Ks=24.4 (5 sigma, AB) are reached within 75% of the survey area. Thus these observations are significantly deeper than the previous EIS Deep Public Survey which covers the same region. The image quality is characterized by a point spread function ranging between 0.34 arcsec and 0.65 arcsec FWHM. The images are registered with an accuracy of ~0.06 arcsec RMS over the whole field. The overall photometric accuracy, including all systematic effects, adds up to 0.05 mag. The data are publicly available from the ESO science archive facility. We define a catalog of Ks-selected sources which contains JHKs photometry for 7079 objects. We briefly discuss the resulting color distributions in the context of available redshift data. Furthermore, we estimate the completeness fraction and relative contamination due to spurious detections for source catalogs extracted from the survey data. With respect to previous deep near-infrared surveys, the surface density of faint galaxies has been established with unprecedented accuracy by virtue of the unique combination of depth and area of this survey. We derived galaxy number counts over eight magnitudes in flux up to J=25.25, H=25.0, Ks=25.25 (in the AB system). Very similar faint-end logarithmic slopes between 0.24 and 0.27 per mag were measured in the three bands. We found no evidence for a significant change in the slope of the logarithmic galaxy number counts at the faint end.

description: Left-Right symmetry including supersymmetry presents an important class of gauge models which may possess natural solutions to many issues of phenomenology. Cosmology of such models indicates a phase transition accompanied by domain walls. Such walls must be unstable in order to not conflict with standard cosmology, and can further be shown to assist with open issues of cosmology such as dilution of unwanted relic densities and leptogenesis. In this paper we construct a model of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking in which parity breaking is also signalled along with supersymmetry breaking and so as to be consistent with cosmological requirements. It is shown that addressing all the stated cosmological issues requires an extent of fine tuning, while in the absence of fine tuning, leptogenesis accompanying successful completion of the phase transition is still viable.

description: We calculate the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy bispectrum on large angular scales in the absence of primordial non-Gaussianities, assuming exact matter dominance and extending at second order the classic Sachs-Wolfe result δT/T=Φ/3. The calculation is done in Poisson gauge. Besides intrinsic contributions calculated at last scattering, one must consider integrated effects. These are associated to lensing, and to the time dependence of the potentials (Rees-Sciama) and of the vector and tensor components of the metric generated at second order. The bispectrum is explicitly computed in the flat-sky approximation. It scales as l^(-4) in the scale invariant limit and the shape dependence of its various contributions is represented in 3d plots. Although all the contributions to the bispectrum are parametrically of the same order, the full bispectrum is dominated by lensing. In the squeezed limit it corresponds to f_NL^local = -1/6 - cos(2 θ), where θis the angle between the short and the long modes; the angle dependent contribution comes from lensing. In the equilateral limit it corresponds to f_NL^equil ~ 3.13.

description: We experimentally demonstrate thermo-optic locking of a semiconductor laser to an integrated toroidal optical microresonator. The lock is maintained for time periods exceeding twelve hours, without requiring any electronic control systems. Fast control is achieved by optical feedback induced by scattering centers within the microresonator, with thermal locking due to optical heating maintaining constructive interference between the cavity and the laser. Furthermore, the optical feedback acts to narrow the laser linewidth, with ultra high quality microtoroid resonances offering the potential for ultralow linewidth on-chip lasers.

First-principles calculations for transient absorption of laser-excited magnetic materials

description: We investigate the modification in the optical properties of laser-excited bulk cobalt and nickel using the time-dependent density functional theory at a finite electron temperature. As a result of the first-principles simulation, a complex change in the photoabsorption of the magnetic materials is observed around the $M_{2,3}$ absorption edge. Based on the microscopic analysis, we clarify that this complex absorption change consists of the two following components: (i) the decrease in the photoabsorption in a narrow energy range around the $M_{2,3}$ edge, which reflects the blue shift of the absorption edge due to the light-induced demagnetization, and (ii) the increase in the photoabsorption in a wider range around the $M_{2,3}$ edge, which reflects the modification in the local-field effect due to the light-induced electron localization. The relation between the transient optical and magnetic properties may open a way to monitor ultrafast (de)magnetization and spin dynamics in magnetic materials via transient absorption spectroscopy.

brain activity
tool use
proficiency

description: Tools enable animals to exploit and command new resources. However, the neural circuits underpinning tool use and how neural activity varies with an animal's tool proficiency, are only known for humans and some other primates. We use 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography to image the brain activity of naïve vs trained American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) when presented with a task requiring the use of stone tools. As in humans, talent affects the neural circuits activated by crows as they prepare to execute the task. Naïve and less proficient crows use neural circuits associated with sensory- and higher-order processing centers (the mesopallium and nidopallium), while highly proficient individuals increase activity in circuits associated with motor learning and tactile control (hippocampus, tegmentum, nucleus basorostralis, and cerebellum). Greater proficiency is found primarily in adult female crows and may reflect their need to use more cognitively complex strategies, like tool use, to obtain food.

description: Using standard statistical method, we discover the existence of correlations among Hawking radiations (of tunneled particles) from a black hole. The information carried by such correlations is quantified by mutual information between sequential emissions. Through a careful counting of the entropy taken out by the emitted particles, we show that the black hole radiation as tunneling is an entropy conservation process. While information is leaked out through the radiation, the total entropy is conserved. Thus, we conclude the black hole evaporation process is unitary.
description: Any comment are welcome! A long paper showing how this calculation can be done for other types of black holes will be submitted soon

Heavy quark signals from radiative corrections to the $Z^{\prime}$ boson decay in 3-3-1 models
Creators: name: Martinez, R.
name: Ochoa, F.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: One-loop corrections to the $Z^{\prime}$ decay width are derived and analyzed in the framework of the general form of the 3-3-1 models. We identify two important sources of corrections: oblique corrections asociated to the $Z^{\prime}$ propagator through vacum polarizations induced by virtual particle-antiparticle pairs of new heavy quarks $J$, and vertex corrections to the $Z^{\prime}q\bar{q}$ vertex through virtual exchange of new $K^{Q_{1,2}}$ gauge bosons. Fixing an specific renormalization scheme, we obtain dominant oblique corrections that exhibit a quadratic dependence on the $J$ quark mass, which are absorbed into two oblique parameters: a global parameter $ρ^{\prime}_f$ which modify the $Z^{\prime}$ decay width, and a parameter $κ^{\prime}_{f}$ that define effective $Z^{\prime}$ couplings. Numerical results in an specific 3-3-1 model gives a strong contribution of the oblique corrections from about 1.3% in the $d(s)$ quark channel to 10.5% in the neutrino channel, for $m_{J}=2$ TeV. The vertex corrections contribute to the oblique corrections up to 1.4% for the same channel and $m_{J}$ value. For $pp$ collisions at the CERN LHC collider, we find that the corrections significantly modify the shape of the cross section distributions for $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $t\bar{t}$ final states, where the distributions including the radiative corrections increases up to 1.23 times the tree-level distribution for the dielectron events and to 1.07 for the top events when $m_{J}=3$ TeV.
