description: The gap between research evidence and policy-making is a persistent issue, resulting in an inefficient use of resources and an inadequate response to public issues. Knowledge translation aims to bridge this gap by developing evidence-based formats that disseminate, understand and use information in real-world settings. Policy briefs are one such format that can assist policymakers to make evidence-informed decisions, yet there is no standardisation on how and when to conduct policy briefs. With this scoping review we aim to give an overview of recommendations and guidelines regarding the structure, format, lengths, layout and key characteristics of policy briefs to inform policy decision-making from health science academia. Further, we will explore the point in time at which those policy briefs should be developed and how they can be disseminated and evaluated. Relevant literature will be searched in PubMed, Embase as well as through additional manual searches. Eligibility screening will be conducted by two independent reviewers. Data will be extracted and synthesised alongside pre-defined items.

description: We present the BRST formalism of a Weyl conformal gravity in Weyl geometry. Choosing the extended de Donder gauge-fixing condition (or harmonic gauge condition) for the general coordinate invariance and the new scalar gauge-fixing for the Weyl invariance we find that there is a Poincar${\rm{\acute{e}}}$-like $\IOSp(10|10)$ supersymmetry as in a Weyl invariant scalar-tensor gravity in Riemann geometry. We also point out that there is a gravitational conformal symmetry in quantum gravity although there is a massive Weyl gauge field as a result of spontaneous symmetry breakdown of Weyl gauge symmetry and account for how the gravitational conformal symmetry is spontaneously broken to the Poincaré symmetry. The corresponding massless Nambu-Goldstone bosons are the graviton and the dilaton. We also prove the unitarity of the physical S-matrix on the basis of the BRST quartet mechanism.

description: We investigate an approach for the presentation of experimental constraints on supersymmetric scenarios. It is a triangle based visualization that extends the status quo wherein LHC results are reported in terms of simplified models under the assumption of 100\% branching ratios. We show that the (re)interpretation of LHC data on triangles allows the extraction of accurate exclusion limits for a multitude of more realistic models with arbitrary branching ratios. We demonstrate the utility of this triangle visualization approach using the example of gluino production and decay in several common supersymmetric scenarios. A Python script that can be adapted to visualize data on triangular plots can be obtained from https://github.com/renuk16/Triangles.

description: Context. Activity on the far side of the Sun is routinely studied through the analysis of the seismic oscillations detected on the near side using helioseismic techniques such as phase shift sensitive holography. Recently, the neural network FarNet was developed to improve these detections. Aims. We aim to create a new machine learning tool, FarNet II, which further increases the scope of FarNet, and to evaluate its performance in comparison to FarNet and the standard helioseismic method for detecting far side activity. Methods. We developed FarNet II, a neural network that retains some of the general characteristics of FarNet but improves the detections in general, as well as the temporal coherence among successive predictions. The main novelties are the implementation of attention and convolutional long short term memory (ConvLSTM) modules. A cross validation approach, training the network 37 times with a different validation set for each run, was employed to leverage the limited amount of data available. We evaluate the performance of FarNet II using three years of extreme ultraviolet observations of the far side of the Sun acquired with the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) as a proxy of activity. The results from FarNet II were compared with those obtained from FarNet and the standard helioseismic method using the Dice coefficient as a metric. Results. FarNet II achieves a Dice coefficient that improves that of FarNet by over 0.2 points for every output position on the sequences from the evaluation dates. Its improvement over FarNet is higher than that of FarNet over the standard method. Conclusions. The new network is a very promising tool for improving the detection of activity on the far side of the Sun given by pure helioseismic techniques. Space weather forecasts can potentially benefit from the higher sensitivity provided by this novel method.

description: The physics of Mott insulators underlies diverse phenomena ranging from high temperature superconductivity to exotic magnetism. Although both the electron spin and the structure of the local orbitals play a key role in this physics, in most systems these are connected only indirectly --- via the Pauli exclusion principle and the Coulomb interaction. Iridium-based oxides (iridates) open a further dimension to this problem by introducing strong spin-orbit interactions, such that the Mott physics has a strong orbital character. In the layered honeycomb iridates this is thought to generate highly spin-anisotropic interactions, coupling the spin orientation to a given spatial direction of exchange and leading to strongly frustrated magnetism. The potential for new physics emerging from such interactions has driven much scientific excitement, most recently in the search for a new quantum spin liquid, first discussed by Kitaev \cite{kitaev_anyons_2006}. Here we report a new iridate structure that has the same local connectivity as the layered honeycomb, but in a three-dimensional framework. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility exhibits a striking reordering of the magnetic anisotropy, giving evidence for highly spin-anisotropic exchange interactions. Furthermore, the basic structural units of this material suggest the possibility of a new family of structures, the `harmonic honeycomb' iridates. This compound thus provides a unique and exciting glimpse into the physics of a new class of strongly spin-orbit coupled Mott insulators.

Fracture strength: Stress concentration, extreme value statistics and the fate of the Weibull distribution

description: The fracture strength distribution of materials is often described in terms of the Weibull law which can be derived by using extreme value statistics if elastic interactions are ignored. Here, we consider explicitly the interplay between elasticity and disorder and test the asymptotic validity of the Weibull distribution through numerical simulations of the two-dimensional random fuse model. Even when the local fracture strength follows the Weibull distribution, the global failure distribution is dictated by stress enhancement at the tip of the cracks and sometimes deviates from the Weibull law. Only in the case of a pre-existing power law distribution of crack widths do we find that the failure strength is Weibull distributed. Contrary to conventional assumptions, even in this case, the Weibull exponent can not be simply inferred from the exponent of the initial crack width distribution. Our results thus raise some concerns on the applicability of the Weibull distribution in most practical cases.

description: Background: Next-generation 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing is widely used to determine the relative composition of the mammalian gut microbiomes. However, in the absence of a reference, this does not reveal alterations in absolute abundance of specific operational taxonomic units if microbial loads vary across specimens. Results: Here we suggest the spiking of exogenous bacteria into crude specimens to quantify ratios of absolute bacterial abundances. We use the 16S rDNA read counts of the spike-in bacteria to adjust the read counts of endogenous bacteria for changes in total microbial loads. Using a series of dilutions of pooled faecal samples from mice containing defined amounts of the spike-in bacteria Salinibacter ruber, Rhizobium radiobacter and Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus, we demonstrate that spike-in-based calibration to microbial loads allows accurate estimation of ratios of absolute endogenous bacteria abundances. Applied to stool specimens of patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation, we were able to determine changes in both relative and absolute abundances of various phyla, especially the genus Enterococcus, in response to antibiotic treatment and radio-chemotherapeutic conditioning. Conclusion: Exogenous spike-in bacteria in gut microbiome studies enable estimation of ratios of absolute OTU abundances, providing novel insights into the structure and the dynamics of intestinal microbiomes.

description: We introduce BULLKID, an innovative phonon detector consisting of an array of dices acting as particle absorbers sensed by multiplexed Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs). The dices are carved in a thick crystalline wafer and form a monolithic structure. The carvings leave a thin common disk intact in the wafer, acting both as holder for the dices and as substrate for the KID lithography. The prototype presented consists of an array of 64 dices of 5.4x5.4x5 mm$^3$ carved in a 3" diameter, 5 mm thick silicon wafer, with a common disk 0.5 mm thick hosting a 60 nm patterned aluminum layer. The resulting array is highly segmented but avoids the use of dedicated holding structures for each unit. Despite the fact that the uniformity of the KID electrical response across the array needs optimization, the operation of 8 units with similar features shows, on average, a baseline energy resolution of $26\pm7$ eV. This makes it a suitable detector for low-energy processes such as direct interactions of dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering.

description: Periodic boundary conditions for planar mixed flows are implemented in the context of a multi-chain Brownian dynamics simulation algorithm. The effect of shear rate $\dotγ$, and extension rate $\dotε$, on the size of polymer chains, $\left$, and on the polymer contribution to viscosity, $η$, is examined for solutions of FENE dumbbells at finite concentrations, with excluded volume interactions between the beads taken into account. The influence of the mixedness parameter, $χ$, and flow strength, $\dotΓ$, on $\left$ and $η$, is also examined, where $χ\rightarrow 0$ corresponds to pure shear flow, and $χ\rightarrow 1$ corresponds to pure extensional flow. It is shown that there exists a critical value, $χ_\text{c}$, such that the flow is shear dominated for $χ< χ_\text{c}$, and extension dominated for $χ> χ_\text{c}$.

Supplemental Information from Eleven years of student replication projects provide evidence on the correlates of replicability in psychology

description: Cumulative scientific progress requires empirical results that are robust enough to support theory construction and extension. Yet in psychology, some prominent findings have failed to replicate, and large-scale studies suggest replicability issues are widespread. The identification of predictors of replication success is limited by the difficulty of conducting large samples of independent replication experiments, however: most investigations re analyse the same set of 170 replications. We introduce a new dataset of 176 replications from students in a graduate-level methods course. Replication results were judged to be successful in 49% of replications; of the 136 where effect sizes could be numerically compared, 46% had point estimates within the prediction interval of the original outcome (versus the expected 95%). Larger original effect sizes and within-participants designs were especially related to replication success. Our results indicate that, consistent with prior reports, the robustness of the psychology literature is low enough to limit cumulative progress by student investigators.

description: As the production of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased globally, demand for the metals (such as cobalt and lithium) that make up the most critical parts of these vehicles has in turn risen. Although most EVs are sold in developed nations, low-income countries often host the richest resource reserves and thus are directly affected by the expansion of this market. Building on prior scholarship, I study the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the effects that recent cobalt price shocks have had on communities surrounding cobalt mines. Utilizing recently available World Bank Light Every Night data as a proxy for income, I find substantial evidence suggesting that the cobalt price shock that occurred in 2017 resulted in persistent increases in the night light levels of mining provinces and, more specifically, the night light levels of districts and cities within these provinces.

description: In this paper, we propose a new distribution, named unit log–log distribution, defined on the bounded (0,1) interval. Basic distributional properties such as model shapes, stochastic ordering, quantile function, moments, and order statistics of the newly defined unit distribution are studied. The maximum likelihood estimation method has been pointed out to estimate its model parameters. The new quantile regression model based on the proposed distribution is introduced and it has been derived estimations of its model parameters also. The Monte Carlo simulation studies have been given to see the performance of the estimation method based on the new unit distribution and its regression modeling. Applications of the newly defined distribution and its quantile regression model to real data sets show that the proposed models have better modeling abilities than competitive models. The proposed unit quantile regression model has targeted to explain linear relation between educational measurements of both OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries and some non-members of OECD countries, and their Better Life Index. The existence of the significant covariates has been seen on the real data applications for the unit median response.

description: This document serves as the NJDEP Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Priority System, Intended Use Plan (IUP), and Project Priority List. It has several purposes regarding the use of anticipated federal funds, including the establishment of the ranking criteria, the summary of program requirements and document submittal deadlines for award of DWSRF loans. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1996 authorized a DWSRF to assist publicly and privately owned community water systems and nonprofit non-community water systems to achieve or maintain compliance with SDWA requirements and to further its public health objectives. The DWSRF is administered as a component of the Environmental Infrastructure Financing Program. States must file capitalization grant applications each year with the USEPA to secure an allotment of federal funds needed to initialize and to continue the DWSRF at the State level. The central component of the State's application to the USEPA is the Final Priority System, Intended Use Plan, Project Priority List, and Response Document (IUP). The IUP describes how the State intends to spend federal grant moneys, including eligible projects and non-project set-aside expenditures. Project expenditures typically involve loans by the DWSRF to water systems for planning, design, and construction of drinking water facilities. The IUP also contains the FFY2005 and the FFY2006 schedules.

description: We present a simple empirical function for the average density profile of cosmic voids, identified via the watershed technique in $Λ$CDM N-body simulations. This function is universal across void size and redshift, accurately describing a large radial range of scales around void centers with only two free parameters. In analogy to halo density profiles, these parameters describe the scale radius and the central density of voids. While we initially start with a more general four-parameter model, we find two of its parameters to be redundant, as they follow linear trends with the scale radius in two distinct regimes of the void sample, separated by its compensation scale. Assuming linear theory, we derive an analytic formula for the velocity profile of voids and find an excellent agreement with the numerical data as well. In our companion paper [Sutter et al., Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 442, 462 (2014)] the presented density profile is shown to be universal even across tracer type, properly describing voids defined in halo and galaxy distributions of varying sparsity, allowing us to relate various void populations by simple rescalings. This provides a powerful framework to match theory and simulations with observational data, opening up promising perspectives to constrain competing models of cosmology and gravity.

Homilies of Aphraates, the Persian sage: Edited from Syriac manuscripts of the fifth and sixth centuries in the British Museum
Creators: name: Wright, William
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1869

description: Eminent Syriac and Arabic scholar William Wright here offers an edition of the homilies of the early Syriac father, Aphrahat. The work was originally proposed and begun by Cureton, but Wright took it up after his death. In the preface, Wright surveys the information known about Aphrahat from later Syriac writers: George, Bishop of the Arabs; Elias bar Shinaya; Barhebraeus; and Abdisho (the relevant sections from George and Elias are given in Syriac at the end of the preface). Naturally, he also deals there with the three manuscripts used for the edition, a task at which he is a widely recognized master; the manuscripts are dated to 474, 512, and sometime in the sixth century. The Syriac text itself includes both critical apparatus and notes on biblical citations, which are also indexed. Though an English translation was planned, it never appeared.

description: The optimization of the mixing of a passive scalar at finite Péclet number $Pe=Uh/κ$ (where $U,h$ are characteristic velocity and length scales and $κ$ is the scalar diffusivity) is relevant to many significant flow challenges across science and engineering. While much work has focused on identifying flow structures conducive to mixing for flows with various values of $Pe$, there has been relatively little attention paid to how the underlying structure of initial scalar distribution affects the mixing achieved. In this study we focus on two problems of interest investigating this issue. Our methods employ a nonlinear direct-adjoint looping (DAL) method to compute fluid velocity fields which optimize a multiscale norm (representing the `mixedness' of our scalar) at a finite target time. First, we investigate how the structure of optimal initial velocity perturbations and the subsequent mixing changes between initially rectilinear `stripes' of scalar and disc-like `drops'. We find that the ensuing stirring of the initial velocity perturbations varies considerably depending on the geometry of the initial scalar distribution. Secondly, we examine the case of lattices of multiple initial `drops' of scalar and investigate how the structure of optimal perturbations varies with appropriately scaled Péclet number defined in terms of the drop scale rather than the domain scale. We find that the characteristic structure of the optimal initial velocity perturbation we observe for a single drop is upheld as the number of drops and $Pe$ increase. However, the characteristic vortex structure {\color{red} and associated mixing exhibits some nonlocal variability,} suggesting that rescaling to a local $Pe$ {\color{red} will} not capture all the significant flow dynamics.

description: How psychedelic drugs modulate the activity of neuronal populations is not well understood. Such compounds have been highly restricted for several decades leaving a considerable gap in knowledge. In order to understand the effects of psychedelics at microcircuit level, we used Neuropixels probes to record from large populations of neurons in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), primary visual cortex (V1), hippocampus (HPC) and thalamus of mice given the psychedelic TCB-2. We examined the diversity of neuronal firing via the distribution of log firing rates. TCB-2 ingestion significantly stretched the distribution of log firing rates of neurons in mPFC and HPC but not in V1 or thalamus. Repeated administration on consecutive days attenuated the stretching effect of TCB-2 in mPFC. We then asked if features of the stretching were shared across different brain state transitions. We found that modulation of the width of the log-rate distribution occurred in multiple areas of the cortex and in the hippocampus even in awake drug-free mice, driven by intrinsic fluctuations in their arousal level and by sleep to wakefulness transitions in rat frontal cortex. In both psychedelic and naturally occurring brain state transitions, stretching or squeezing of the log-rate distribution of an entire neuronal population reflected concomitant changes in two subpopulations, with one subpopulation undergoing downregulation and often also stretching of its neurons’ log-rate distribution, while the other subpopulation undergoes upregulation and often also a squeeze of its log-rate distribution. In both subpopulations, the stretching and squeezing were a signature of a greater relative impact of the brain state transition on the rates of the slow-firing neurons. These findings reveal that intrinsic and induced brain state changes share a generic pattern of reorganisation of neuronal log firing rates.

description: Light scattering is one of the most established wave phenomena in optics, lying at the heart of light-matter interactions and of crucial importance for nanophotonic applications. Passivity, causality and energy conservation imply strict bounds on the degree of control over scattering from small particles, with implications on the performance of many optical devices. Here, we demonstrate that these bounds can be surpassed by considering excitations at complex frequencies, yielding extreme scattering responses as tailored nanoparticles reach a quasi-steady-state regime. These mechanisms can be used to engineer light scattering of nanostructures beyond conventional limits for noninvasive sensing, imaging, and nanoscale light manipulation.

description: Testing the existence of quantitative trait locus (QTL) effects is an important task in QTL mapping studies. In this paper, we assume the phenotype distributions from a location-scale distribution family, and consider to test the QTL effects in both location and scale in the backcross studies with double recombination occurring. Without equal scale assumption, the log-likelihood function is unbounded, which leads to the traditional likelihood ratio test being invalid. To deal with this problem, we propose a penalized likelihood ratio test (PLRT) for testing the QTL effects. The null limiting distribution of the PLRT is shown to be a supremum of a chi-square process. As a complement, we also investigate the null limiting distribution of the likelihood ratio test for the case with equal scale assumption. The limiting distributions of the two tests under local alternatives are also studied. Simulation studies are performed to evaluate the asymptotic results and a real-data example is given for illustration.

description: In a recent publication [N. Kocic et al., Nano Lett. 15, 4406 (2015)], it was shown that gating of molecular levels in the field of an oscillating tip of an atomic force microscope can enable a periodic charging of individual molecules synchronized to the tip's oscillatory motion. Here we discuss further implications of such measurements, namely, how the force difference associated with the singleelectron charging manifests itself in atomic force microscopy images and how it can be detected as a function of tip-sample distance. Moreover, we discuss how the critical voltage for the chargestate transition depends on distance and how that relates to the local contact potential difference. These measurements allow also for an estimate of the absolute tip-sample distance.

description: We study the effect of a refined electron-photon vertex on the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry in reduced quantum electrodynamics. We construct an educated {\em ansatz} for this vertex which satisfies the required discrete symmetries under parity, time reversal and charge conjugation operations. Furthermore, it reproduces its asymptotic perturbative limit in the weak coupling regime and ensures the massless electron propagator is multiplicatively renormalizable in its leading logarithmic expansion. Employing this vertex {\em ansatz}, we solve the gap equation to compute dynamically generated electron mass whose dependence on the electromagnetic coupling is found to satisfy Miransky scaling law. We also investigate the gauge dependence of this dynamical mass as well as that of the critical coupling above which chiral symmetry is dynamically broken. As a litmus test of our vertex construction, both these quantities are rendered virtually gauge independent within a certain interval of values considered for the covariant gauge parameter.

description: In this paper, a new dependent model is introduced. The model is motivated using the structure of series-parallel systems consisting of two series-parallel systems with a random number of parallel sub-systems that have fixed components connected in series. The dependence properties of the proposed model are studied. Two estimation methods, namely the moment method, and the maximum likelihood method are applied to estimate the parameters of the distributions of the components based on observing the system's lifetime data. A Monte Carlo simulation study is used to evaluate the performance of the estimators. Two real data sets are used to illustrate the proposed method. The results are useful for researchers and practitioners interested in analyzing bivariate data related to extreme events.

description: A device enabling mechanically-controlled spin and electric transport in mesoscopic structures is proposed. It is based on the transfer of electrons through weak links formed by suspended nanowires, on which the charge carriers experience a strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction that twists their spins. It is demonstrated that when the weak link bridges two magnetically-polarised electrodes, a significant spintro-voltaic effect takes place. Then, by monitoring the generated voltage one is able to measure electronic spins accumulated in the electrodes, induced e.g., by circularly-polarised light, or alternatively, the amount of spin twisting. Mechanically-tuning the device by bending the nanowire allows one to achieve full control over the spin orientations of the charge carriers.
Real Options Effect of Uncertainty and Labor Demand Shocks on the Housing Market

description: This paper shows that uncertainty affects the housing market in two significant ways. First, uncertainty shocks adversely affect housing prices but not the quantities that are traded. Controlling for a broad set of variables in fixed-effects regressions, we find that uncertainty shocks reduce housing prices and median sales prices in the amount of 1.4% and 1.8%, respectively, but the effect is not statistically significant for the percentage changes of all homes sold. Second, when both uncertainty and local demand shocks are introduced, the effects of uncertainty on the housing market dominate that of local labor demand shocks on housing prices, median sell prices, the share of houses selling for loss, and transactions. The aforementioned effects are largest for the states that exhibit relatively high housing price volatilities, suggesting real options effects in the housing market during the times of high uncertainty.
