description: We report on the search for distant radio-loud quasars in the Cosmic Lens All Sky Survey (CLASS) of flat spectrum radio sources with S_5GHz>30 mJy. Unresolved optical counterparts were selected from APM scans of POSS-I plates, with e<19.0 and red o-e>2.0 colours, in an effective area of ~6400 deg^2. Four sources were found to be quasars with z>4, of which one was previously known. This sample bridges the gap between the strong radio surveys with S_5GHz>200 mJy and the samples of radio-weak quasars that can be generated via radio observations of optically selected quasars. In addition, 4 new quasars at z>3 have been found. The selection criteria result in a success-rate of ~1:7 for radio-loud quasars at z>4, which is a significant improvement over previous studies. This search yields a surface density of 1 per 1600 deg^2, which is about a factor of ~15 lower than that found in a similar search for radio-quiet quasars at z>4. The study presented here is strongly biased against quasars beyond z>4.5, since the e-passband of the POSS-I only samples the spectra shortward of 1200 Angstrom at these redshifts.

description: This study introduces the statistical theory of using the Standardized Root Mean Squared Error (SRMR) to test close fit in ordinal factor analysis. We also compare the accuracy of confidence intervals (CIs) and tests of close fit based on the SRMR with those obtained based on the Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA). The current (biased) implementation for the RMSEA never rejects that a model fits closely when data are binary and almost invariably rejects the model in large samples if data consist of five categories. The unbiased RMSEA produces better rejection rates, but it is only accurate enough when the number of variables is small and the degree of misfit is small. In contrast, across all simulated conditions, the tests of close fit based on the SRMR yield acceptable type I error rates. SRMR tests of close fit are also more powerful than those using the unbiased RMSEA.
title: Studying the Prevalence and Genetic Contributions to Parkinsonism in Pakistan

Subjects: subject: Parkinson’s disease, Pakistan
subject: Genetic diseases,Pakistan

description: The current study investigated the prevalence and genetics of Parkinsonism and Parkinson’s disease (PD) in the Pakistani population. The prevalence of PD in the Pakistani population is unknown. Similarly, there are no well documented studies on the copy number variation (CNV) or the prevalence of variants such as the G2019S mutation in the LRRK2 gene and the D620N mutation in the VPS35 gene. The Pakistani population is highly consanguineous, which may be advantageous for the identification of variants associated with recessive forms of Parkinsonism. In the present study, we estimated the prevalence rate and assessed mutational profiles (including CNV analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and whole exome sequencing (WES) analysis) in consanguineous Parkinsonism families to discover variants segregating with the disease. We also performed an association analysis for 9 SNPs formerly found to be associated with PD in large-scale published genome-wide association studies (GWAS). For the prevalence estimation, we employed a door-to-door survey in the two districts Dir (Lower) and Malakand of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. A total of four thousand individuals aged 50 and above were screened for PD symptoms with the help of a standard questionnaire developed by Rocca et al (1998). The estimated prevalence rate for Parkinsonism in individuals aged 65 and above was 1.7/100 (95% CI 0.9−2.46), and for PD was 1.28/100 (95%CI 0.6−1.94). For PD, the age standardized rate to the US 2000 standard population was 1.33/100.

description: We have observed three quasars, PKS 1127-145, Q 1331+171 and Q0054+144, with the ACIS-S aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory, in order to measure soft X-ray absorption associated with intervening 21-cm and damped Ly$α$ absorbers. For PKS 1127-145, we detect absorption which, if associated with an intervening z_{abs}=0.312 absorber, implies a metallicity of 23% solar. If the absorption is not at z_{abs}=0.312, then the metallicity is still constrained to be less than 23% solar. The advantage of the X-ray measurement is that the derived metallicity is insensitive to ionization, inclusion of an atom in a molecule, or depletion onto grains. The X-ray absorption is mostly due to oxygen, and is consistent with the oxygen abundance of 30% solar derived from optical nebular emission lines in a foreground galaxy at the redshift of the absorber. For Q1331+171 and Q 0054+144, only upper limits were obtained, although the exposure times were intentionally short, since for these two objects we were interested primarily in measuring flux levels to plan for future observations. The imaging results are presented in a companion paper.

Derivation of the core mass -- halo mass relation of fermionic and bosonic dark matter halos from an effective thermodynamical model

description: We consider the possibility that dark matter halos are made of quantum particles such as fermions or bosons in the form of Bose-Einstein condensates. In that case, they generically have a "core-halo" structure with a quantum core that depends on the type of particle considered and a halo that is relatively independent of the dark matter particle and that is similar to the NFW profile of cold dark matter. We model the halo by an isothermal gas with an effective temperature $T$. We then derive the core mass -- halo mass relation $M_c(M_v)$ of dark matter halos from an effective thermodynamical model by extremizing the free energy $F(M_c)$ with respect to the core mass $M_c$. We obtain a general relation that is equivalent to the "velocity dispersion tracing" relation according to which the velocity dispersion in the core $v_c^2\sim GM_c/R_c$ is of the same order as the velocity dispersion in the halo $v_v^2\sim GM_v/r_v$. We provide therefore a justification of this relation from thermodynamical arguments. In the case of fermions, we obtain a relation $M_c\propto M_v^{1/2}$ that agrees with the relation found numerically by Ruffini {\it et al.}. In the case of noninteracting bosons, we obtain a relation $M_c\propto M_v^{1/3}$ that agrees with the relation found numerically by Schive {\it et al.}. In the case of bosons with a repulsive self-interaction in the Thomas-Fermi limit, we predict a relation $M_c\propto M_v^{2/3}$ that still has to be confirmed numerically. We also obtain a general approximate core mass -- halo mass relation that is valid for bosons with arbitrary repulsive or attractive self-interaction. For an attractive self-interaction, we determine the maximum halo mass that can harbor a stable quantum core (dilute axion "star").

BATSE Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Tails

description: I discuss in this paper the phenomenon of post-burst emission in BATSE gamma-ray bursts at energies traditionally associated with prompt emission. By summing the background-subtracted signals from hundreds of bursts, I find that tails out to hundreds of seconds after the trigger may be a common feature of long events (duration greater than 2s), and perhaps of the shorter bursts at a lower and shorter-lived level. The tail component appears independent of both the duration (within the long GRB sample) and brightness of the prompt burst emission, and may be softer. Some individual bursts have visible tails at gamma-ray energies and the spectrum in at least a few cases is different from that of the prompt emission.

description: Class imbalance has emerged as one of the major challenges for medical image segmentation. The model cascade (MC) strategy significantly alleviates the class imbalance issue via running a set of individual deep models for coarse-to-fine segmentation. Despite its outstanding performance, however, this method leads to undesired system complexity and also ignores the correlation among the models. To handle these flaws, we propose a light-weight deep model, i.e., the One-pass Multi-task Network (OM-Net) to solve class imbalance better than MC does, while requiring only one-pass computation. First, OM-Net integrates the separate segmentation tasks into one deep model, which consists of shared parameters to learn joint features, as well as task-specific parameters to learn discriminative features. Second, to more effectively optimize OM-Net, we take advantage of the correlation among tasks to design both an online training data transfer strategy and a curriculum learning-based training strategy. Third, we further propose sharing prediction results between tasks and design a cross-task guided attention (CGA) module which can adaptively recalibrate channel-wise feature responses based on the category-specific statistics. Finally, a simple yet effective post-processing method is introduced to refine the segmentation results. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques. Most impressively, we achieve state-of-the-art performance on the BraTS 2015 testing set and BraTS 2017 online validation set. Using these proposed approaches, we also won joint third place in the BraTS 2018 challenge among 64 participating teams. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/chenhong-zhou/OM-Net.

description: We have developed a new data reduction technique for ISOCAM LW data and have applied it to the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) LW3 (15 micron) observations in the southern hemisphere (S1). This method, known as LARI technique and based on the assumption of the existence of two different time scales in ISOCAM transients (accounting either for fast or slow detector response), was particularly designed for the detection of faint sources. In the ELAIS S1 field we obtained a catalogue of 462 15 micron sources with signal-to-noise ratio >= 5 and flux densities in the range 0.45 - 150 mJy (filling the whole flux range between the Deep ISOCAM Surveys and the IRAS Faint Source Survey). The completeness at different flux levels and the photometric accuracy of this catalogue have been tested with simulations. Here we present a detailed description of the method and discuss the results obtained by its application to the S1 LW3 data.

Effects of Foreground Contamination on the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Measured by MAP

description: We study the effects of diffuse Galactic, far-infrared extragalactic source, and radio point source emission on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data anticipated from the MAP experiment. We focus on the correlation function and genus statistics measured from mock MAP foreground-contaminated CMB anisotropy maps generated in a spatially-flat cosmological constant dominated cosmological model. Analyses of the simulated MAP data at 90 GHz (0.3 deg FWHM resolution smoothed) show that foreground effects on the correlation function are small compared with cosmic variance. However, the Galactic emission, even just from the region with |b| > 20 deg, significantly affects the topology of CMB anisotropy, causing a negative genus shift non-Gaussianity signal. Given the expected level of cosmic variance, this effect can be effectively reduced by subtracting existing Galactic foreground emission models from the observed data. IRAS and DIRBE far-infrared extragalactic sources have little effect on the CMB anisotropy. Radio point sources raise the amplitude of the correlation function considerably on scales below 0.5 deg. Removal of bright radio sources above a 5 σdetection limit effectively eliminates this effect. Radio sources also result in a positive genus curve asymmetry (significant at 2 σ) on 0.5 deg scales. Accurate radio point source data is essential for an unambiguous detection of CMB anisotropy non-Gaussianity on these scales. Non-Gaussianity of cosmological origin can be detected from the foreground-subtracted CMB anisotropy map at the 2 σlevel if the measured genus shift parameter |Δν| >= 0.02 (0.04) or if the measured genus asymmetry parameter |Δg| >= 0.03 (0.08) on a 0.3 (1.0) deg FWHM scale.

description: We present a new determination of the metallicity distribution, age, and luminosity function of the Galactic bulge stellar population. By combining near-IR data from the 2MASS survey, from the SOFI imager at ESO NTT and the NICMOS camera on board HST we were able to construct color-magnitude diagrams (CMD) and luminosity functions (LF) with large statistics and small photometric errors from the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) and Red Giant Branch (RGB) tip down to $\sim 0.15 M_\odot$. This is the most extended and complete LF so far obtained for the galactic bulge. Similar near-IR data for a disk control field were used to decontaminate the bulge CMDs from foreground disk stars, and hence to set stronger constraint on the bulge age, which we found to be as large as that of Galactic globular clusters, or $\gsim 10$ Gyr. No trace is found for any younger stellar population. Synthetic CMDs have been constructed to simulate the effect of photometric errors, blending, differential reddening, metallicity dispersion and depth effect in the comparison with the observational data. By combining the near-IR data with optical ones, from the Wide Field Imager at the ESO/MPG 2.2m telescope, a disk-decontaminated $(M_K,V-K)$ CMD has been constructed and used to derive the bulge metallicity distribution, by comparison with empirical RGB templates. The bulge metallicity is found to peak at near solar value, with a sharp cutoff just above solar, and a tail towards lower metallicity that does not appreciably extend below [M/H]$\sim-1.5$.

description: The interplay of spin angular momentum and thermal radiation is a frontier area of interest to nanophotonics as well as topological physics. Here, we show that a thick planar slab of a nonreciprocal material, despite being at thermal equilibrium with its environment, can exhibit nonzero photon spin angular momentum and nonzero radiative heat flux in its vicinity. We identify them as the persistent thermal photon spin (PTPS) and the persistent planar heat current (PPHC) respectively. With a practical example system, we reveal that the fundamental origin of these phenomena is connected to spin-momentum locking of thermally excited evanescent waves. We also discover spin magnetic moment of surface polaritons in nonreciprocal photonics that further clarifies these features. We then propose a novel thermal photonic imaging experiment based on Brownian motion that allows one to witness these surprising features by directly looking at them using a lab microscope. We further demonstrate the universal behavior of these near-field thermal radiation phenomena through a comprehensive analysis of gyroelectric, gyromagnetic and magneto-electric nonreciprocal materials. Together, these results expose a surprisingly little explored research area of thermal spin photonics with prospects for new avenues related to non-Hermitian topological photonics and radiative heat transport.

Depending on the constructive or destructive interferences between the $Z_b$-exchange and the bottom meson loops mechanisms, we predict two possible branching ratios for each process: BR$_{Υ(4S) \to h_b(1P)π^+π^-}\simeq\big(1.2^{+0.8}_{-0.4}\times10^{-6}\big)$ or $\big( 0.5^{+0.5}_{-0.2}\times10^{-6}\big)$, and BR$_{Υ(4S) \to h_b(2P)π^+π^-}\simeq \big(7.1^{+1.7}_{-1.1}\times10^{-10}\big)$ or $\big( 2.4^{+0.2}_{-0.1}\times10^{-10}\big)$. The bottom meson loops contribution is found to be much larger than the $Z_b$-exchange contribution in the $Υ(4S) \to h_b(1P) ππ$ transitions, while it can not produce decay rates comparable to the heavy quark spin conserved $Υ(4S) \to Υ(1S,2S) ππ$ processes. We also predict the branch fractions of $ψ(3S,4S) \to h_c(1P)π^+π^-$ contributed from the charm meson loops.

description: Tourism development has long been promoted as an effective means of bringing improvements to local communities. However, along with many positive benefits of tourism there are many negative impacts on economic, social and environmental aspects of communities. The introduction of tourism often triggers alterations in the way local people make a living. Such alterations often lead to full tourism-dependent livelihoods, affecting the sustainability of traditional livelihoods due to the unreliability of the tourism industry. This study provides empirical evidence of such alterations in local communities. The research data for this study was collected in Komodo District, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, with the souvenir, tour boat and travel businesses as case studies. Using qualitative methods, this study elaborates the impacts of tourism on local livelihoods, by focusing on: the process of how tourism affected local livelihoods; the opportunities and threats emerging from the impact of tourism; the strategies applied to respond to the challenges; and the locals’ perspectives of influential stakeholders and sustainable tourism development. Although the current businesses provide the local businesspeople with a relatively immediate income, potential challenges have emerged that threaten the sustainability of their tourism-based livelihoods: their full reliance on tourism; fierce competition; extensive low seasons; and their lack of required skills. The locals’ strategies responding to such challenges remain focused on tourism-dependent businesses that have a high reliance on tourism. If tourism declines, the local people will have insufficient alternatives to maintain their livelihoods. Preserving non-tourismrelated businesses as a livelihood diversification strategy will significantly increase their ability to cope with difficult times.

description: We have derived the X-ray luminosities of a sample of galaxies in groups, making careful allowance for contaminating intragroup emission. The L_X:L_B and L_X:L_{FIR} relations of spiral galaxies in groups appear to be indistinguishable from those in other environments, however the elliptical galaxies fall into two distinct classes. The first class is central-dominant group galaxies which are very X-ray luminous, and may be the focus of group cooling flows. All other early-type galaxies in groups belong to the second class, which populates an almost constant band of L_X/L_B over the range 9.8 < log L_B < 11.3. The X-ray emission from these galaxies can be explained by a superposition of discrete galactic X-ray sources together with a contribution from hot gas lost by stars, which varies a great deal from galaxy to galaxy. In the region where the optical luminosity of the non-central group galaxies overlaps with the dominant galaxies, the dominant galaxies are over an order of magnitude more luminous in X-rays. We also compared these group galaxies with a sample of isolated early-type galaxies, and used previously published work to derive L_X:L_B relations as a function of environment. The non-dominant group galaxies have mean L_X/L_B ratios very similar to that of isolated galaxies, and we see no significant correlation between L_X/L_B and environment. We suggest that previous findings of a steep L_X:L_B relation for early-type galaxies result largely from the inclusion of group-dominant galaxies in samples.

description: Transition-edge sensors (TESs) can be used in high-resolution photon detection, exploiting the steep slope of the resistance in the superconducting-to-normal transition edge. Normal metal bars on the TES film are commonly used to engineer its transition shape, namely the dependence of resistance on temperature and current. This problem has been studied in one dimension, however until now, there have been no predictive models of the influence of two-dimensional (2-D) normal metal features on the TES transition shape. In this work, we approach this problem by treating the TES as a 2-D network of resistors, the values of which are based on the two-fluid model. We present a study of the behavior of devices with different 2-D geometric features. Our 2-D network model is capable of predicting how typical TES geometry parameters, such as number of bars, bar spacing, and overall dimensions, influence device behavior and thus is a powerful tool to guide the engineering of new TES devices.
Deformations of Calabi-Yau varieties with $k$-liminal singularities

description: The goal of this paper is to describe certain nonlinear topological obstructions for the existence of first order smoothings of mildly singular Calabi-Yau varieties of dimension at least $4$. For nodal Calabi-Yau threefolds, a necessary and sufficient linear topological condition for the existence of a first order smoothing was given by the first author in 1986. Subsequently, Rollenske-Thomas generalized this picture to nodal Calabi-Yau varieties of odd dimension, by finding a necessary nonlinear topological condition for the existence of a first order smoothing. In a complementary direction, in our recent work, the linear necessary and sufficient conditions for nodal Calabi-Yau threefolds were extended to Calabi-Yau varieties in every dimension with $1$-liminal singularities (which are exactly the ordinary double points in dimension $3$ but not in higher dimensions). In this paper, we give a common formulation of all of these previous results by establishing analogues of the nonlinear topological conditions of Rollenske-Thomas for Calabi-Yau varieties with weighted homogeneous $k$-liminal hypersurface singularities, a broad class of singularities that includes ordinary double points in odd dimensions.

description: For humans, collaboration is a natural and beneficial medium with which to carry tasks, negotiate and achieve goals. In computer games, human players have worked together to achieve their objectives and many computer games today foster the need of being cooperative. Non-human entities in computer games are used predominantly as props, plot devices and adversaries. The motivation of this thesis however, is to explore and examine virtual beings engaging as equal partners with humans in collaborative computer games, resulting in richer, realistic emergent game play. To address this, the following research questions have been identified: 1. Can human and virtual beings, being heterogeneous agents, interact cooperatively in the context of computer games and what are the desirable attributes required for them to perform this collaboration as functionally equal partners? 2. What computer game framework would be required to facilitate collaboration amongst functionally equal partners? 3. How could such a collaborative computer game be designed and implemented in order to support human and virtual players engage collaboratively? To answer these questions, a number of concepts were developed to create a framework for collaborative human and virtual beings. This was then expanded upon by the design, development and implementation of a collaborative computer game called TeamMATE that supports human and virtual beings as functionally equal partners. By addressing these questions the thesis demonstrates that it is possible to design engaging computer games for entertainment, education and business where virtual beings are active participants resulting in richer computer game experiences. The TeamMATE computer game was implemented using the framework established by this work. Utilising these concepts and desirable attributes, four case studies were developed to determine whether human and virtual beings could indeed interact cooperatively in the context of computer games.

description: In der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung werden oft Familien begleitet, deren Kinder eine Diagnose im Autismus-Spektrum haben. Da viele Kinder im Autismus-Spektrum in ihrer Sprachentwicklung oft stark verzögert sind, ist es wichtig, ihnen eine Alternative zur Lautsprache anzubieten. Die Unterstützte Kommunikation hilft den Kindern, sich in ihren Alltag effizienter mitzuteilen, ihre Umwelt mitzugestalten und aktiv daran teilzunehmen. Eine Form der Unterstützten Kommunikation ist im deutschen Sprachraum das bekannte, «Bild-Tausch-Kommunikationssystem» und im englisch sprachigen Gebiet das erfolgreiche PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). In der hier vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird während acht Fördereinheiten aufgezeigt, wie PECS in der Arbeit der Heilpädagogischen Früherziehung umgesetzt werden kann. Die Zielsetzung dieser Masterarbeit ist es, mit PECS dem Kind und seiner Mutter ein geeignetes Mittel zur Interaktion im Alltag zu geben. Die Situation des Kindes und der Familie wird zunächst beschrieben, nach einer fundierten theoretischen Auseinandersetzung wird mit der Methode PECS die Förderintervention zielgerichtet geplant und umgesetzt. Die Evaluation zeigt, dass die Kommunikation und die Interaktion durch PECS im Fördersetting möglich wurde. Das Kind hat Fortschritte in seinen kommunikativen Kompetenzen erzielt. Ausserdem konnte durch das Äussern seiner Präferenzen ein deutlich geringeres Problemverhalten beobachtet werden. PECS legt somit einen Grundstein für eine längerfristige Förderung und Unterstützung in Selbstbestimmung und Partizipation.
Exploration of current upper limb splinting practices for acute management of people with tetraplegia post-Spinal Cord Injury: A scoping review protocol

subject: splinting

description: Background/Objective: Following spinal cord injury, the acute management of upper limbs, particularly for people with tetraplegia, can involve the use of splints or orthoses. These aim to prevent complications and optimise future functioning. Currently, there are inconsistencies in the management practices for acute upper limb issues, with clinical guidelines lacking detail and consistency in this area of practice. The key question for the review is: What are the current upper limb splinting practices for acute management of people with tetraplegia post-SCI? A series of sub-questions identify key practice and evidence-related focus areas.
Method: A scoping review involving systematic searching, screening, and charting of data is planned, applying Arksey and O’Malley’s processes with refinements by Levac. Systematic searching of health databases (PubMed, Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and Web of Science (Clarivate)) will be supplemented by a parallel process of searching grey literature and textbooks, as well as consulting clinical and research networks in spinal cord injury practice. Stages of identification, title, and abstract screening, full text (or key excerpt) screening, and charting of findings will involve two independent reviewers and processes of checking and resolving discrepancies. Quality appraisals of included resources will be included and reported. Findings will be synthesised across resource types with a focus on answering the posed questions and indicating recommended practices and outcomes.
Ethics and Dissemination: The study will not require approval from a human research ethics committee as it will not be collecting data from human participants. Dissemination will involve all investigators and their networks and will include producing and distributing a lay summary.
Fine Tuning, Sequestering, and the Swampland

description: We conjecture and present evidence that any effective field theory coupled to gravity in flat space admits at most a finite number of fine tunings, depending on the amount of supersymmetry and spacetime dimension. In particular, this means that there are infinitely many non-trivial correlations between the allowed deformations of a given effective field theory in the gravitational context. Fine tuning of parameters allows us to obtain some consistent CFTs in the IR limit of gravitational theories. Related to finiteness of fine tunings, we conjecture that except for a finite number of CFTs, the rest cannot be consistently coupled to gravity and belong to the swampland. Moreover, we argue that even though matter sectors coupled to gravity may sometimes be partially sequestered, there is an irreducible level of mixing between them, correlating and coupling infinitely many operators between these sectors.

New parametrization of the form factors in $\bar{B}\to D\ell\barν_\ell$ decays

description: A new model-independent parametrization is proposed for the hadronic form factors in the semileptonic $\bar{B}\to D\ell\barν_\ell$ decay. By a combined consideration of the recent experimental and lattice QCD data, we determine precisely the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|=41.01(75)\times 10^{-3}$ and the ratio $\mathcal{R}_D=\frac{\mathcal{BR}(\bar{B}\to D τ\barν_τ)}{\mathcal{BR}(\bar{B}\to D \ell \barν_\ell)}=0.301(5)$. The coefficients in this parametrization, related to phase shifts by sumrulelike dispersion relations and hence called phase moments, encode important scattering information of the $\bar{B}\bar{D}$ interactions which are poorly known so far. Thus, we give strong hints about the existence of at least one bound and one virtual $\bar B \bar D$ $S$-wave $0^+$ states, subject to uncertainties produced by potentially sizable inelastic effects. This formalism is also applicable for any other semileptonic processes induced by the weak $b\to c$ transition.
