description: We study the thermoelectric transport of a small metallic island weakly coupled to two electrodes by tunnel junctions. In the Coulomb blockade regime, in the case when the ground state of the system corresponds to an even number of electrons on the island, the main mechanism of electron transport at lowest temperatures is elastic cotunneling. In this regime, the transport coefficients strongly depend on the realization of the random impurity potential or the shape of the island. Using the random-matrix theory, we calculate the thermopower and the thermoelectric kinetic coefficient and study the statistics of their mesoscopic fluctuations in the elastic cotunneling regime. The fluctuations of the thermopower turn out to be much larger than the average value.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study describes state legislators' knowledge, attitudes, and voting intentions with regard to tobacco-related issues.

METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of state legislators was conducted in North Carolina, Texas, and Vermont in 1994.

RESULTS: Most legislators agreed that secondhand smoke can cause lung cancer in nonsmokers, and a majority believed that smokers are addicted to nicotine. More than 75% stated that they would support a measure to enforce laws preventing tobacco sales to youth. A majority of Texas and Vermont legislators supported an increase in the state cigarette excise tax; 43% of North Carolina legislators would support an increase if revenues were directed toward tobacco farmer diversification.

CONCLUSIONS: State legislators believe tobacco to be addictive, and they support policies to protect youth from tobacco. Support for other legislative measures differs significantly across states.

description: We show that dark photons (A') with masses ~10-80 MeV can be probed in the decay $μ^+ \to e^+ ν_e \barν_μA', A' \to e^+ e^-$, with the upcoming Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. With an expected 10^{15} (5.5 x 10^{16}) muon decays in 2015-2016 (2018 and beyond), Mu3e has the exciting opportunity to probe a substantial fraction of currently unexplored dark photon parameter space, probing kinetic-mixing parameter, epsilon, as low as epsilon^2 ~ 10^{-7} (10^{-8}). No modifications of the existing Mu3e setup are required.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) has set 2020 as the target for the global elimination of blinding trachoma as a public health problem. To achieve this goal, more than 7 million trachomatous trichiasis (TT) operations are needed. Poor post-operative outcomes are a significant barrier, as they reduce the number of patients who are willing to come for treatment. High-quality, highvolume surgery is needed to reach the WHO target, and this begins with high-quality training.

description: Advancements in 360° cameras have increased their relatedlivestreams. In the case of video conferencing, 360° camerasprovide almost unrestricted visibility into a conference room for aremote viewer without the need for an articulating camera. However,local participants are left wondering if someone is connected andwhere remote participants might be looking. To address this, wefabricated a prototype device that shows the gaze and presence ofremote 360° viewers using a ring of LEDs that match the remoteviewports. We discuss the long term use of one of the prototypes ina lecture hall and present future directions for visualizing gazepresence in 360° video streams.

description: Purpose: To determine the impact that cataract and cataract surgery have on clinical measurements of vision, reading speed, objective mobility performance, and subjective visual functioning. Design: Prospective, population-based study. Participants: A total of 1739 Salisbury Eye Evaluation (SEE) participants without previous cataract surgery with bilateral baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) ≤0.3 (≥20/40) or cataract surgery between rounds 1 and 2. Methods: Participants were categorized on the basis of cataract surgery by round 2 into no surgery, unilateral surgery, or bilateral surgery. Visual performance, mobility-based tasks, and the Activities of Daily Vision Scale (ADVS) were measured at baseline and 2 years. Mobility score was converted into a z score by subtracting the participant's time from the population baseline average and then dividing by the standard deviation. Comparisons were made between the no surgery and surgery groups using multivariate linear regression. Main Outcome Measures: Change in bilateral BCVA in logMAR, contrast sensitivity, reading speed in words per minute (wpm), mobility score, and ADVS. Results: During the study period, 29 participants had cataract surgery on both eyes, 90 participants had unilateral surgery, and 1620 participants had no surgery. After adjusting for baseline value, demographics, depression, and mental status, the unilateral surgery group's BCVA improved 0.04 logMAR (P = 0.001) and the bilateral group's BCVA improved 0.13 compared with no surgery (P<0.001). Overall mobility declined in all groups. The unilateral group's z score decreased 0.18 more than that of the no surgery group (P = 0.02), whereas the bilateral group showed a 0.18 z score improvement compared with no surgery (P = 0.19). Change in reading speed significantly improved in the unilateral and bilateral groups compared with no surgery (12 and 31 wpm, respectively). The bilateral surgery group showed significant positive change in ADVS compared with no surgery (5 points of relative improvement; P = 0.01), whereas the unilateral group showed a 5-point relative decline (P<0.001). Conclusions: Cataract negatively affects both subjective quality of life and objective performance measures. Unilateral cataract surgery improves visual functioning, but the largest gains are found in patients who undergo second-eye cataract surgery. This finding supports second-eye cataract surgery for patients with visual or functional symptoms even after successful first-eye surgery.
Parity-breaking phases of spin-orbit-coupled metals with gyrotropic, ferroelectric and multipolar orders

description: We study Fermi liquid instabilities in spin-orbit-coupled metals with inversion symmetry. By introducing a canonical basis for the doubly degenerate Bloch bands in momentum space, we derive the general form of interaction functions. A variety of time-reversal-invariant, parity-breaking phases is found, whose Fermi surface is spontaneously deformed and spin-split. In terms of symmetry, these phases possess gyrotropic, ferroelectric and multipolar orders. The ferroelectric and multipolar phases are accompanied by structural distortions, from which the electronic orders can be identified. The gyrotropic phase exhibits a unique nonlinear optical property. Based on recent experiments, we identify several interesting quantum materials including pyrochlore oxides, which show evidence of these parity breaking orders.

description: This paper sets out to describe, through a demo for the TVX Conference, how virtual reality (VR) painting software is beginning to open up as a new medium for visual artists working in the field of abstract painting. The demo achieves this by describing how an artist who usually makes abstract paintings with paint and canvas in a studio, that is those existing as physical objects in the world, encounters and negotiates the process of making abstract paintings in VR using Tilt Brush software and Head-Mounted Displays (HMD). This paper also indicates potential future avenues for content creation in this emerging field and what this might mean for artists, viewers, and art institutions to experiment with effective methods of exhibiting innovative content.

Year: 1997

description: OBJECTIVES: This paper describes the magnitude of effects for family planning programs evaluated with true experimental designs.

METHODS: Studies that used true experimental designs to evaluate family planning programs were identified and their results subjected to meta-analysis.

RESULTS: For the 14 studies with the information needed to calculate effect size, the Pearson r between program and effect variables ranged from -.08 to .09 and averaged .08.

CONCLUSIONS: The programs evaluated in the studies considered have had, on average, smaller effects than many would assume and desire.
On the possibility of setting a new constraint to scalar-tensor theories

description: Scalar-tensor theories (STTs) are a widely studied alternative to General Relativity (GR) in which gravity is endowed with an additional scalar degree of freedom. Although severely constrained by solar system and pulsar timing experiments, there remains a large set of STTs which are consistent with all present day observations. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of probing a yet unconstrained region of the parameter space of STTs based on the fact that stability properties of highly compact neutron stars in these theories may radically differ from those in GR.

Ophthalmology 119(7), 1388-1398 (2012). Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in European-derived populations. Recently, drugs have been developed that not only reduce the risk of vision loss, but can actually improve visual acuity. This article provides a summary of a recent comparative effectiveness trial evaluating two of these drugs. The study found that visual acuity outcomes were similar for the two drugs and that monthly dosing provided a slight advantage over as-needed treatment. The role of long-term differences in retinal thickening, geographic atrophy and potential differences in serious adverse events between the two drugs need further research.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between changes in employment in North Carolina in the 1980s and fatal occupational injury rates.

METHODS: Unintentional fatal occupational injuries (n = 1989) in North Carolina between 1978 and 1991 were identified via the medical examiner's system.

RESULTS: Overall fatal injury rates declined during the 1980s, but rates increased 9.6% per year among manufacturing industries that declined in employment size; rates fell among service sector and manufacturing industries that grew.

CONCLUSIONS: Increasing occupational fatal injury rates accompanied the decline in workforce in North Carolina's traditional, labor-intensive manufacturing industries during the 1980s, while service sector and expanding manufacturing industries have experienced declining fatal injury rates.

description: OBJECTIVES: This evaluation of a state Medicaid dental program describes dental treatment received, relates treatment needed to treatment received, and describes enrollment and use over an 8-year period.

METHODS: Three databases were linked: (1) clinical records from a 1986/87 statewide epidemiological survey, providing data on treatment need; (2) Medicaid dental claims from 1984 through 1992, providing data on treatment received; and (3) Medicaid enrollment files from 1984 through 1992.

RESULTS: Half of Medicaid-enrolled children never used dental services. Among users of dental services, 45% and 25% of children needed restorations in primary and permanent teeth, respectively. In this group, 29% had all needs met, 28% had needs partially met, and 43% had no needs met. Forty-six percent of children sought care for only 1 year.

CONCLUSIONS: Federal guidelines for dental care are not met in this typical Medicaid population of short-term enrollees who use services sporadically. Programs should aim to increase use and ensure that all needed services, especially preventive procedures such as sealants, can be completed within the short period of time a child attends for care.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effects of the Safe Dates program on the primary and secondary prevention of adolescent dating violence.

METHODS: Fourteen schools were randomly allocated to treatment conditions. Eighty percent (n=1886) of the eighth and ninth graders in a rural county completed baseline questionnaires, and 1700 (90%) completed follow-up questionnaires.

RESULTS: Treatment and control groups were comparable at baseline. In the full sample at follow-up, less psychological abuse, sexual violence, and violence perpetrated against the current dating partner were reported in treatment than in control schools. In a subsample of adolescents reporting no dating violence at baseline (a primary prevention subsample), there was less initiation of psychological abuse in treatment than in control schools. In a subsample of adolescents reporting dating violence at baseline (a secondary prevention subsample), there was less psychological abuse and sexual violence perpetration reported at follow-up in treatment than in control schools. Most program effects were explained by changes in dating violence norms, gender stereotyping, and awareness of services.

CONCLUSIONS: The Safe Dates program shows promise for preventing dating violence among adolescents.

No Museu do Doce, medidas como a gestão da abertura das janelas e o reposicionamento dos objetos já mostram potencial para reduzir a exposição à luz, que em fevereiro foi 23,5 vezes superior ao parâmetro, por exemplo. No Palácio do Planalto, a complexidade é maior devido à intensa luminosidade e à natureza do edifício, com valores de até 2440 lux incidindo sobre as pinturas. Neste caso, a principal sugestão será gerir o espaço expositivo com medidas passivas para bloquear a entrada de raios UV e luz, por meio da aplicação de filtros nos vidros da fachada principal.

description: In this paper, an overview is presented of the recent construction of fully back-reacted half-BPS solutions in 11-dimensional supergravity which correspond to near-horizon geometries of M2 branes ending on, or intersecting with, M5 and M5$'$ branes along a self-dual string. These solutions have space-time manifold ${\rm AdS}_3 \times S^3 \times S^3$ warped over a Riemann surface $Σ$, and are invariant under the exceptional Lie superalgebra $D(2,1;γ) \oplus D(2,1;γ)$, where $γ$ is a real continuous parameter and $|γ|$ is governed by the ratio of the number of M5 and M5$'$ branes. The construction proceeds by mapping the reduced BPS equations onto an integrable field theory on $Σ$ which is of the Liouville sine-Gordon type. Families of regular solutions are distinguished by the sign of $γ$, and include a two-parameter Janus solution for $γ>0$, and self-dual strings on M5 as well as asymptotically ${\rm AdS}_4/{\mathbb Z}_2$ solutions for $γ<0$.

description: OBJECTIVES: The authors examined factors predicting abortion use in two communes in northern Vietnam.

METHODS: A survey of 504 rural and 523 urban women of childbearing age was conducted.

RESULTS: For the 13.6% of urban and 19% of rural commune women having had an abortion in the previous year, logistic regression analyses demonstrated that use of an intrauterine device reduced the likelihood of subsequent abortion in both communes. Traditional method use in the rural commune, however, increased women's likelihood of a subsequent abortion.

CONCLUSIONS: Contraceptive use in these 2 communes affected abortion more than sociodemographic factors. Traditional method use by rural women is a risk for abortion.
Deficient dietary iron intakes among women and children in Russia: evidence from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the iron sufficiency of the Russian diet.

METHODS: Data were obtained from 24-hour dietary recalls conducted in 4 rounds (1992 through 1994) of a nationally representative longitudinal survey of 10,548 women and children. Iron bioavailability was estimated via algorithms adjusting for enhancers (heme, vitamin C) and inhibitors (tannins in tea, phytates in grains) consumed at the same meal.

RESULTS: Dietary iron intakes were deficient in the most vulnerable groups: young children and women of reproductive age. Poverty status was strongly associated with deficiency. After adjustment for enhancers and inhibitors, estimated bioavailable iron intakes at 3% to 4% of total iron were inadequate in all women and children.

CONCLUSIONS: These dietary data suggest that Russian women and children are at high risk of iron deficiency. Grain products rich in phytates, which inhibit absorption, were the major food source of iron in Russia. High intakes of tea and low consumption of vitamin C also inhibited iron bioavailability. Since changes in eating behavior could potentially double iron bioavailability, educational programs should be explored as a strategy for improving iron nutriture.

description: We report on experiments with deformed polymer microlasers that have a low refractive index and exhibit unidirectional light emission. We demonstrate that the highly directional emission is due to transport of light rays along the unstable manifold of the chaotic saddle in phase space. Experiments, ray-tracing simulations, and mode calculations show very good agreement.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study examined birthweights of North African immigrants in Belgium.

METHODS: Analyses focused on Belgian single live birth certificates from 1981 to 1988.

RESULTS: Low-birthweight (< 2500 g) rates were 3.1% among 34,686 newborns of North African origin and 4.8% among 804,286 newborns of Belgian origin. The entire North African birthweight distribution was shifted toward higher birthweights than the Belgian distribution. Low frequencies of low birthweights among North Africans were still observed after marital status, occupation of the father, and parity had been taken into account.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite their low socioeconomic status, North African immigrants have high birthweights.

description: We investigate a Mach-Zehnder interferometer fed by two time-dependently driven single-particle sources, one of them placed in front of the interferometer, the other in the center of one of the arms. As long as the two sources are operated independently, the signal at the output of the interferometer shows an interference pattern, which we analyze in the spectral current, in the charge and energy currents, as well as in the charge current noise. The synchronization of the two sources in this specifically designed setup allows for collisions and absorptions of particles at different points of the interferometer, which have a strong impact on the detected signals. It introduces further relevant time-scales and can even lead to a full suppression of the interference in some of the discussed quantities. The complementary interpretations of this phenomenon in terms of spectral properties and tunable two-particle effects (absorptions and quantum exchange effects) are put forward in this article.

description: OBJECTIVES: Despite decreasing infant mortality in North Carolina, the gap between African Americans and Whites persists. This study examined how racial differences in infant mortality vary by maternal education.

METHODS: Data came from Linked Birth and Infant Death files for 1988 through 1993. Multiple logistic regression models adjusted for confounders.

RESULTS: Infant mortality risk ratios comparing African Americans and Whites increased with higher levels of maternal education. Education beyond high school reduced risk of infant mortality by 20% among Whites but had little effect among African Americans.

CONCLUSIONS: Higher education magnifies racial differences in infant mortality on a multiplicative scale. Possible reasons include greater stress, fewer economic resources, and poorer quality of prenatal care among African Americans.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study examined employment patterns of African-American and White workers and rates of unintentional fatal injuries,

METHODS: Medical examiner and census data were used to compare occupational fatality rates for African Americans and Whites in North Carolina and to adjust for racial differences in employment patterns.

RESULTS: African Americans' occupational fatality rate was higher by a factor of 1.3 to 1.5. Differences in employment structure appear to explain much of this disparity. However, the fatality rate for African-American men would have been elevated even if they had had the same employment patterns as White men.

CONCLUSIONS: inequalities in access to the labor market, unequal distribution of risk within jobs, and explicit discrimination are all potential explanations for racial disparities in occupational injury mortality. These conditions can be addressed through a combination of social and workplace interventions, including efforts to improve conditions for the most disadvantaged workers.

description: OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the hypothesis that greater integration and coordination between agencies within service systems is associated with greater accessibility of services and improved client housing outcomes.

METHODS: As part of the Access to Community Care and Effective Services and Supports program, data were obtained on baseline client characteristics, service use, and 3-month and 12-month outcomes from 1832 clients seen at 18 sites during the first year of program operation. Data on interorganizational relationships were obtained from structured interviews with key informants from relevant organizations in each community (n = 32-82 at each site).

RESULTS: Complete follow-up data were obtained from 1340 clients (73%). After control for baseline characteristics, service system integration was associated with superior housing outcomes at 12 months, and this relationship was mediated through greater access to housing agencies.

CONCLUSIONS: Service system integration is related to improved access to housing services and better housing outcomes among homeless people with mental illness.

Modified Schödinger dynamics with attractive densities

description: The linear Schrödinger equation does not predict that macroscopic bodies should be located at one place only. Quantum mechanics textbooks generally solve the problem by introducing the projection postulate, which forces definite values to emerge during position measurements; many other interpretations have also been proposed.\ Here, in the same spirit as the GRW and CSL theories, we modify the Schrödinger equation in a way that efficiently cancels macroscopic density fluctuations in space.\ Instead of introducing the stochastic dynamics of GRW or CSL, we assume a deterministic dynamics that includes an attraction term towards the density in space of the de Broglie-Bohm position of particles. This automatically ensures macroscopic uniqueness, so that the state vector can be considered as a direct representation of physical reality.

description: On 21 January 2013, there was a fire at the central office of a telecommunications network operator in Siegen, which resulted in more than 500,000 telephone connections being collapsed for several hours and occasionally several days. Emergency calls were also not possible. The websites of the district and the control center were offline. The local radio which typically acts as a central point of information in such situations was out of service. But not only the civic-societal continuity, also the operational continuity was affected (Reuter et al., 2017). In this example, both continuity and crisis management are essential to recover to regular business resp. life.

description: La configuración de las plazas del mercado desde la colonia hasta la actualidad, se ha convertido en una cuestión relevante en las áreas urbanas y arquitectónicas de las ciudades. A partir de ellas se crean núcleos comerciales, que se transforman en puntos de encuentro en la cotidianidad de la ciudad. De esta manera, la plaza del mercado se ha consolidado como destino turístico, que centra su discurso en el contexto histórico. Sus construcciones moldean el paisaje urbano, a la vez que se encuentran en lugares de atracción socio-cultural.

description: The Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) seeks transformational change in transportation and the electricity grid driven by next generation high performance, low cost electricity storage. To pursue this transformative vision JCESR introduces a new paradigm for battery research: integrating discovery science, battery design, research prototyping and manufacturing collaboration in a single highly interactive organization. This new paradigm will accelerate the pace of discovery and innovation and reduce the time from conceptualization to commercialization. JCESR applies its new paradigm exclusively to beyond-lithium-ion batteries, a vast, rich and largely unexplored frontier. This review presents JCESR's motivation, vision, mission, intended outcomes or legacies and first year accomplishments.

description: Background: Surgical technique, including suture placement and tension, is believed to contribute to the outcome of bilamellar tarsal rotation surgery for trachomatous trichiasis. However, the immediate post-operative appearance that minimizes the chance of recurrence and other adverse outcomes has not been investigated. Methodology/Principal Findings: To explore whether the degree of correction immediately after surgery is predictive of surgical outcome at the 6-week post-operative visit, photographs taken immediately after surgery were used to predict surgical outcomes, including the severity of eyelid contour abnormality and trichiasis recurrence. Both eyelid contour abnormalities and recurrence were accurately predicted from the immediate post-operative photographs by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon 85% and 70% of the time, respectively. Participants with a "slight over-correction" that resulted in no eyelid contour abnormality and no recurrence were used to identify immediate post-operative contours that lead to a successful surgical outcome. Conclusions/Significance: The immediate post-operative eyelid contour is an important indicator of post-operative success of BLTR surgery. Based upon our findings, we developed a Surgery Photocard. This card illustrates some examples of immediate post-surgical appearances, which led to a successful outcome, as well as sub-optimal appearances, which led to poor surgical outcomes. The card also provides suggestions for improving the appearance by adjusting the suture placement or tension based upon standard oculoplastic principles.

description: Objectives. Standardized quantitative method are neede to study occurence and timing of violence in relation to pregnancy and to study the context in which pregnancy-related violence occurs. Methods. Data from three published studies of prevalence of violence during pregnancy are used to illustrate ways to measure the association of violence in relation to pregnancy. Results. Four patterns of violence in relation to pregnancy are identified, and related research issues are discussed. Also, 2 population-based surveys that address the suggestions presented here are discussed. Conclusions. Better measurement of the association between violence and pregnancy will facilitate development of data-based prevention and intervention programs.
