description: With the increasing complexity of computing systems, complete hardware reliability can no longer be guaranteed. We need, however, to ensure overall system reliability. One of the most important features of artificial neural networks is their intrinsic fault-tolerance. The aim of this work is to investigate whether such networks have features that can be applied to wider computational systems. This paper presents an analysis, in both the learning and operational phases, of a distributed feed-forward neural network with decentralised event-driven time management, which is insensitive to intermittent faults caused by unreliable communication or faulty hardware components. The learning rules used in the model are local in space and time, which allows efficient scalable distributed implementation. We investigate the overhead caused by injected faults and analyse the sensitivity to limited failures in the computational hardware in different areas of the network.

Reducing Under-five Childhood Mortality using IMCI/e-IMCI: Implementation Approaches in Nigeria
Creators: name: Yaya, Al-Mounawara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: To address the global issue of healthcare disparity and access to care, particularly in children under-five years of age, Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) was put in place by WHO and UNICEF. To address poor adherence to IMCI that affects Under-five Mortality Rates (U5MRs), e-IMCI was introduced 1. With its three components: improvement of case management skills of health-care staff, overall health systems, and family and community health practices, IMCI/e-IMCI targets under-five children’s health with a holistic approach 2. While IMCI/e-IMCI helps to provide quality care, save cost and potentially time, inadequate healthcare providers’ training remains a primary challenge to the quality of implementation at the global level especially in lower-middle income countries like Nigeria. This paper presents the barriers to IMCI/e-IMCI from the policy makers, health workers and patient standpoint in Nigeria. Also, the paper elaborates on various implementation approaches to address these barriers in the context of the Nigerian health care system.

description: BACKGROUND: Patients with antibody deficiency respond poorly to COVID-19 vaccination and are at risk of severe or prolonged infection. They are given long-term immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IRT) prepared from healthy donor plasma to confer passive immunity against infection. Following widespread COVID-19 vaccination alongside natural exposure, we hypothesised that immunoglobulin preparations will now contain neutralising SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies which confer protection against COVID-19 disease and may help to treat chronic infection. METHODS: We evaluated anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody in a cohort of patients before and after immunoglobulin infusion. Neutralising capacity of patient samples and immunoglobulin products was assessed using in vitro pseudo-virus and live-virus neutralisation assays, the latter investigating multiple batches against current circulating omicron variants. We describe the clinical course of nine patients started on IRT during treatment of COVID-19. RESULTS: In 35 individuals with antibody deficiency established on IRT, median anti-spike antibody titre increased from 2123 to 10600 U/ml post-infusion, with corresponding increase in pseudo-virus neutralisation titres to levels comparable to healthy donors. Testing immunoglobulin products directly in the live-virus assay confirmed neutralisation, including of BQ1.1 and XBB variants, but with variation between immunoglobulin products and batches.Initiation of IRT alongside Remdesivir in patients with antibody deficiency and prolonged COVID-19 infection (median 189 days, maximum over 900 days with an ancestral viral strain) resulted in clearance of SARS-CoV-2 virus at a median of 20 days. CONCLUSIONS: Immunoglobulin preparations now contain neutralising anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies which are transmitted to patients and help to treat COVID-19 in individuals with failure of humoral immunity.
Quantum computation with noisy operations

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we show how to use low-fidelity operations to control the dynamics of quantum systems. Noisy operations usually drive a system to evolve into a mixed state and damage the coherence. Sometimes frequent noisy operations result in the coherent evolution of a subsystem, and the dynamics of the subsystem is controlled by tuning noisy operations. Based on this, we find that universal quantum computation can be carried out by low-fidelity (fidelity $<90\%$) operations.

description: We study the effect of isospin-dependent nuclear forces on the pasta phase in the inner crust of neutron stars. To this end we model the crust within the framework of quantum molecular dynamics (QMD). For maximizing the numerical performance, a newly developed code has been implemented on GPU processors. As a first application of the crust studies we investigate the dependence of the particular pasta phases on the isospin dependence of the interaction, including non-linear terms in this sector of the interactions. Our results indicate that in contrast to earlier studies the phase diagram of the pasta phase is not very sensitive to isospin effects. We show that the extraction of the isospin parameters like asymmetry energy and slope from numerical data is affected by higher-order terms in the asymmetry dependence of the energies per particle. Furthermore, a rapid transition from the pasta to a homogeneous phase is observed even for proton-to-neutron ratios typical for a supernova environment.

description: In this work we report a detailed ESR spectroscopic study of the single-crystalline samples of the van der Waals compounds $M_{\text{2}}$P$_{\text{2}}$S$_{\text{6}}$ ($M_{\text{2}}$ = Mn$_{\text{2}}$, MnNi, Ni$_{\text{2}}$), performed at an excitation frequency of 9.56 GHz, in a broad range of temperatures above the magnetic order, and at different orientations of the magnetic field with respect to the sample. Analyzing temperature and angular dependences of the resonance field and of the linewidth of the Mn$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ compound we have observed a significant change of the spin dynamics from the dominance of the 3D-like fluctuations close to the magnetic order to a relative increase of the 2D-like spin fluctuations at higher temperatures. Such a behavior, which is opposite to the development of the low-D signatures in the previously studied Cr$_{\text{2}}$Ge$_{\text{2}}$Te$_{\text{6}}$ compound, can be explained by the difference in the type of magnetic order in Mn$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ and Cr$_{\text{2}}$Ge$_{\text{2}}$Te$_{\text{6}}$. On the other hand, MnNiP$_2$S$_6$ compound exhibits angular dependences of the linewidth typical for the system with 3D-like spin correlations in the whole measurement temperature range, however the 2D-like correlations can be seen in the temperature dependences of the resonance field and the linewidth. Ni$_2$P$_2$S$_6$, in turn, does not show any 2D signatures. This suggests that varying the Ni content in (Mn$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ one can control the exchange interaction, possibly also in the third dimension.

Interprofessional Service-Learning in a Community Setting: A Model for National Dissemination
Creators: name: Buff, Scotty
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Interprofessional education is becoming more popular in higher education and service-learning has been a successful method to facilitate experiences that foster teamwork between professions. While clinical service-learning projects may directly translate to professional experiences, community projects offer the opportunity to promote civic engagement and address societal needs, in addition to improving education. Higher education curricula in health professions contain many clinical rotations that typically focus on delivery of patient care, while increased skill and confidence in working with the community and community engagement are not essential components. The project outlined in this paper introduces a guided interprofessional curriculum, using state-wide SC Area Health Education Consortium (AHEC) Health Professional Student (HPS) coordinators as facilitators, and an established health promotion program, Junior Doctors of Health (JDOH), to promote interprofessional teamwork in serving public health needs. Descriptive statistics analysis of surveys from 149 health professional and biomedical science students demonstrated that over 70% of students found the learning activity improved their knowledge of other professions and teamwork skills. Challenges to implementation, strategies for sustainability and dissemination, and long-term effects are discussed.

description: We study incoherently coupled two-frequency pulse compounds in waveguides with single zero-dispersion and zero-nonlinearity points. In such waveguides, supported by a negative nonlinearity, soliton dynamics can be obtained even in domains of normal dispersion. We demonstrate trapping of weak pulses by solitary-wave wells, forming nonlinear-photonics meta-atoms, and molecule-like bound-states of pulses. We study the impact of Raman effect on these pulse compounds, finding that, depending on the precise subpulse configuration, they decelerate, accelerate, or are completely unaffected. Our results extend the range of systems in which two-frequency pulse compounds can be expected to exist and demonstrate further unique and unexpected behavior.

description: Ultrafast photo-induced phase transitions occurring under the impact of femtosecond laser pulses provide versatile opport unities for switching solids between distinctly-different crystalline, electronic, and magnetic states and thus modify their functional properties in a significant way. In this paper, we report on the laser-induced spin reorientation and Verwey phase transitions in a single crystalline ferrimagnetic magnetite Fe$_3$O$_4$. Using femtosecond optical and magneto-optical pump-probe techniques, we define the range of the initial sample temperatures and laser fluences when partialor complete photo-induced phase transitions occur from a monoclinic insulating to a cubic metallic state with concomitant switching of magnetic anisotropy from the uniaxial to the cubic one. We thus reveal a connection between these phase transitions when driven by femtosecond laser pulses.Using transient linear and quadratic magneto-optical effects, we examine magnetization dynamics launched the switching of the magnetic anisotropy axis. We unveil the presence of the domains under going the laser-induced phase transitions even below the established threshold fluence for the transitions, as well as when the material is initially in the cubic phase. This is the manifestation of the first-order of these both laser-induced phase transitions beyond the range of thermodynamic equilibrium.

description: This paper contains analysis of creation of sets and multisets as an approach for modeling of some aspects of human thinking. The creation of sets is considered within constructive object-oriented version of set theory (COOST), from different sides, in particular classical set theory, object-oriented programming (OOP) and development of intelligent information systems (IIS). The main feature of COOST in contrast to other versions of set theory is an opportunity to describe essences of objects more precisely, using their properties and methods, which can be applied to them. That is why this version of set theory is object-oriented and close to OOP. Within COOST, the author proposes universal constructor of multisets of objects that gives us a possibility to create arbitrary multisets of objects. In addition, a few determined constructors of multisets of objects, which allow creating multisets, using strictly defined schemas, also are proposed in the paper. Such constructors are very useful in cases of very big cardinalities of multisets, because they give us an opportunity to calculate a multiplicity of each object and cardinality of multiset before its creation. The proposed constructors of multisets of objects allow us to model in a sense corresponding processes of human thought, that in turn give us an opportunity to develop IIS, using these tools.

description: Fully pairing all elements of a set while attempting to maximize the total benefit is a combinatorically difficult problem. Such pairing problems naturally appear in various situations in science, technology, economics, and other fields. In our previous study, we proposed an efficient method to infer the underlying compatibilities among the entities, under the constraint that only the total compatibility is observable. Furthermore, by transforming the pairing problem into a traveling salesman problem with a multi-layer architecture, a pairing optimization algorithm was successfully demonstrated to derive a high-total-compatibility pairing. However, there is substantial room for further performance enhancement by further exploiting the underlying mathematical properties. In this study, we prove the existence of algebraic structures in the pairing problem. We transform the initially estimated compatibility information into an equivalent form where the variance of the individual compatibilities is minimized. We then demonstrate that the total compatibility obtained when using the heuristic pairing algorithm on the transformed problem is significantly higher compared to the previous method. With this improved perspective on the pairing problem using fundamental mathematical properties, we can contribute to practical applications such as wireless communications beyond 5G, where efficient pairing is of critical importance.
Complex-mass shell renormalization of the higher-derivative electrodynamics

description: We consider a higher-derivative extension of QED modified by the addition of a gauge-invariant dimension-6 kinetic operator in the U(1) gauge sector. The Feynman diagrams at one-loop level are then computed. The modification in the spin-1 sector leads the electron self-energy and vertex corrections diagrams finite in the ultraviolet regime. Indeed, no regularization prescription is used to calculate these diagrams because the modified propagator always occurs coupled to conserved currents. Moreover, besides the usual massless pole in the spin-1 sector, there is the emergence of a massive one, which becomes complex when computing the radiative corrections at one-loop order. This imaginary part defines the finite decay width of the massive mode. To check consistency, we also derive the decay length using the electron--positron elastic scattering and show that both results are equivalent. Because the presence of this unstable mode, the standard renormalization procedures cannot be used and is necessary adopt an appropriate framework to perform the perturbative renormalization. For this purpose, we apply the complex-mass shell scheme (CMS) to renormalize the aforementioned model. As an application of the formalism developed, we estimate a quantum bound on the massive parameter using the measurement of the electron anomalous magnetic moment and compute the Uehling potential. At the end, the renormalization group is analyzed.

description: Interactions in atomic and molecular systems are dominated by electromagnetic forces and the theoretical framework must be in the quantum regime. The physical theory for the combination of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, quantum electrodynamics has been established by the mid-twentieth century, primarily as a scattering theory. To describe atoms and molecules, it is important to consider bound states. In the non-relativistic quantum mechanics framework, bound states can be efficiently computed using robust and general methodologies with systematic approximations developed for solving wave equations. With the sight of the development of a computational quantum electrodynamics framework for atomic and molecular matter, the field theoretic Bethe-Salpeter wave equation expressed in space-time coordinates, its exact equal-time variant and emergence of a relativistic wave equation is reviewed. A computational framework, with initial applications and future challenges in relation with precision spectroscopy, is also highlighted.
The Associations of Race with Health Status in the Family Practice Setting of North Carolina

description: Context: Minority race and ethnicity are associated with poorer health and shortened survival and there are well-documented disparities in the quality of health care that African Americans receive compared to Whites. However, there is little research that looks at disparities in health among family practice patients. Objective: The aim of this cross sectional study is to identify differences in health-related quality of life, health risk factors, and chronic diseases between African American and White patients of family physicians in North Carolina. Methods: Data for this study comes from the North Carolina Health Project (NCHP), a family practice network and research database of family practices in North Carolina. A four-page self- administered questionnaire that included sociodemographic data, health risk factors, chronic conditions, and health-related quality of life measures was completed by 4381 African American and White respondents. Results: Obesity, insufficient exercise, high blood pressure, and diabetes were all found to be more likely to be reported by African Americans than by Whites in our population adjusted for age, gender and education level. African Americans also reported poorer health-related quality of life. Conclusion: This study compliments previous evidence of racial disparities in chronic disease and health risk factors between African Americans and Whites, and it highlights specific factors that may be focused on in the family practice setting. Many risk behaviors associated with chronic disease are modifiable, and counseling for behavior change in primary care has proven to be effective. These data provide evidence that family medicine clinicians should focus on culturally sensitive behavioral interventions and prevention techniques to reduce health disparities.

description: Numerically computed with high accuracy are periodic traveling waves at the free surface of a two dimensional, infinitely deep, and constant vorticity flow of an incompressible inviscid fluid, under gravity, without the effects of surface tension. Of particular interest is the angle the fluid surface of an almost extreme wave makes with the horizontal. Numerically found are: (i) a boundary layer where the angle rises sharply from $0^\circ$ at the crest to a local maximum, which converges to $30.3787\dots^\circ$ as the amplitude increases toward that of the extreme wave, independently of the vorticity, (ii) an outer region where the angle descends to $0^\circ$ at the trough for negative vorticity, while it rises to a maximum, greater than $30^\circ$, and then falls sharply to $0^\circ$ at the trough for large positive vorticity, and (iii) a transition region where the angle oscillates about $30^\circ$, resembling the Gibbs phenomenon. Numerical evidence suggests that the amplitude and frequency of the oscillations become independent of the vorticity as the wave profile approaches the extreme form.

description: MIRELA is a high-level language and a rapid prototyping framework dedicated to systems where virtual and digital objects coexist in the same environment and interact in real time. Its semantics is given in the form of networks of timed automata, which can be checked using symbolic methods. This paper shows how to detect various kinds of indefinite waitings in the components of such systems. The method is experimented using the PRISM model checker.

description: In the self-similar scenario for galaxy cluster formation and evolution, the thermodynamic properties of the X-ray emitting plasma can be predicted in their dependencies on the halo mass and redshift only. However, several departures from this simple self-similar scenario have been observed. We show how our semi-analytic model $i(cm)z$, which modifies the self-similar predictions through two temperature-dependent quantities, the gas mass fraction $f_g=f_0 T^{f_1} E_z^{f_z}$ and the temperature variation $f_T=t_0 T^{t_1} E_z^{t_z}$, can be calibrated to incorporate the mass and redshift dependencies. We used a published set of 17 scaling relations to constrain the parameters of the model. We were subsequently able to make predictions as to the slope of any observed scaling relation within a few percent of the central value and about one $σ$ of the nominal error. Contextually, the evolution of these scaling laws was also determined, with predictions within $1.5 σ$ and within 10 percent of the observational constraints. Relying on this calibration, we have also evaluated the consistency of the predictions on the radial profiles with some observational datasets. For a sample of high-quality data (X-COP), we were able to constrain a further parameter of the model, the hydrostatic bias $b$. By calibrating the model, we have determined that (i) the slopes of the temperature dependence are $f_1=0.403 (\pm0.009)$ and $t_1=0.144 (\pm0.017)$; and that (ii) the dependence upon $E_z$ are constrained to be $f_z=-0.004 (\pm 0.023)$ and $t_z=0.349 (\pm 0.059)$. These values permit one to estimate directly how the normalizations of a given quantity $Q_Δ$ changes as a function of the mass (or temperature) and redshift halo in the form $Q_Δ \sim M^{a_M} E_z^{a_z} \sim T^{a_T} E_z^{a_{Tz}}$, in very good agreement with the current observational constraints.

Social Media and Disasters: Integrating Social Media into Local Disaster Response
Creators: name: Whiteside, Samantha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: With the creation of Facebook and Twitter early in the 21st century, social media began to take over normal routes of communication and have since drastically changed how we seek information. Social media has naturally impacted the field of emergency management and disaster response and disaster recovery with those who are impacted seeking information on these social platforms. Social media utilization in local disaster preparedness and response by local political leaders, NGO’s, emergency and relief agencies, and health departments has been limited in implementation and reach due to funding, staffing, training, volume of information involved, and a lack of trust and collaboration. Even with varied implementation in the field of disaster preparedness and response, social media has shifted the needs of individuals worldwide from one-way communication to that of two-way communication, where citizens are now playing the role of journalists. This paper covers local municipalities that have integrated blog networks, Facebook, and/or Twitter post-disaster, lessons learned from their integration, and makes suggestions on how to add social media into local disaster preparedness and disaster response, including the future need for an adaptable social media framework.

description: We investigate the differences and analogies between the equation of motion phonon method (EMPM) and second Tamm-Dancoff and random-phase approximations (STDA and SRPA) paying special attention to the problem of spurious center-of-mass (c.m.) admixtures. In order to compare them on an equal footing, we perform self-consistent calculations of the multipole strength distributions in selected doubly magic nuclei within a space including up to two-particle-two-hole (2p-2h) basis states using the UCOM two-body intrinsic Hamiltonian and we explore the tools each approach supplies for removing the spurious c.m. admixtures. We find that the EMPM and STDA yield exactly the same results when the same intrinsic Hamiltonian is used and the coupling of the Hartree-Fock state with the 2p-2h space is neglected, but, unlike STDA and SRPA, the EMPM offers the possibility to completely remove c.m. admixtures.

description: Two millimeter observations of the MACS J1149.6+2223 cluster have detected a source that was consistent with the location of the lensed MACS1149-JD galaxy at z=9.6. A positive identification would have rendered this galaxy as the youngest dust forming galaxy in the universe. Follow up observation with the AzTEC 1.1 mm camera and the IRAM NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) at 1.3 mm have not confirmed this association. In this paper we show that the NOEMA observations associate the 2 mm source with [PCB2012] 2882 ([PCB2012] 2882 is the NED-searchable name for this source.), source number 2882 in the Hubble Space Telescope ( HST) Cluster Lensing and Supernova (CLASH) catalog of MACS J1149.6+2223. This source, hereafter referred to as CLASH 2882, is a gravitationally lensed spiral galaxy at z=0.99. We combine the GISMO 2 mm and NOEMA 1.3 mm fluxes with other (rest frame) UV to far-IR observations to construct the full spectral energy distribution (SED) of this galaxy, and derive its star formation history, and stellar and interstellar dust content. The current star formation rate of the galaxy is 54/mu Msun yr-1, and its dust mass is about 5 10^7/mu Msun, where mu is the lensing magnification factor for this source, which has a mean value of 2.7. The inferred dust mass is higher than the maximum dust mass that can be produced by core collapse supernovae (CCSN) and evolved AGB stars. As with many other star forming galaxies, most of the dust mass in CLASH 2882 must have been accreted in the dense phases of the ISM.
