description: There are two types of intrinsic surface states in solids. The first type is formed on the surface of topological insulators. Recently, transport of massless Dirac fermions in the band of "topological" states has been demonstrated. States of the second type were predicted by Tamm and Shockley long ago. They do not have a topological background and are therefore strongly dependent on the properties of the surface. We study the problem of the conductivity of Tamm-Shockley edge states through direct transport experiments. Aharonov-Bohm magneto-oscillations of resistance are found on graphene samples that contain a single nanohole. The effect is explained by the conductivity of the massless Dirac fermions in the edge states cycling around the nanohole. The results demonstrate the deep connection between topological and non-topological edge states in 2D systems of massless Dirac fermions.

description: Since group activities have become very common in daily life, there is an urgent demand for generating recommendations for a group of users, referred to as group recommendation task. Existing group recommendation methods usually infer groups' preferences via aggregating diverse members' interests. Actually, groups' ultimate choice involves compromises between members, and finally, an agreement can be reached. However, existing individual information aggregation lacks a holistic group-level consideration, failing to capture the consensus information. Besides, their specific aggregation strategies either suffer from high computational costs or become too coarse-grained to make precise predictions. To solve the aforementioned limitations, in this paper, we focus on exploring consensus behind group behavior data. To comprehensively capture the group consensus, we innovatively design three distinct views which provide mutually complementary information to enable multi-view learning, including member-level aggregation, item-level tastes, and group-level inherent preferences. To integrate and balance the multi-view information, an adaptive fusion component is further proposed. As to member-level aggregation, different from existing linear or attentive strategies, we design a novel hypergraph neural network that allows for efficient hypergraph convolutional operations to generate expressive member-level aggregation. We evaluate our ConsRec on two real-world datasets and experimental results show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods. An extensive case study also verifies the effectiveness of consensus modeling.

description: Almost all solid substances are crystalline, and in most cases it is possible to obtain single crystals that are large enough to make physical measurements upon. The structure of crystals is, then, of great importance in the study of the structure of matter. Although they were limited to the measurement of the interfacial angles that appeared on the crystals, early experimental crystallographers obtained a vast amount of valuable crystallographic data. As early as 1908 P. Groth published several large volumes of such data. This was before Laue's discovery of x-ray diffraction by crystals. These data have been very helpful to the modern x-ray crystallographer. The early crystallographers were able to classify all crystals into six systems which they further divided into thirty-two classes. The mathematical crystallographers, working with the problem of possible arrangements of points in space, have shown that there are fourteen distinct space lattices upon which point groups may be arranged in a continuous manner. By applying every possible element of symmetry that each point group could possess when placed upon the various lattices, the mathematical crystallographers have shown that there are two hundred thirty different space groups possible. It remained for the x-ray crystallographers to identify these points as atoms and to determine their positions in the unit cells. After Laue's discovery in 1912 great progress began in the experimental determination of the structure of crystals. Under the leadership of such investigators as the Braggs in England, DeBroglie in France, Debye, Scherer, Schiebold and Ewald in Germany, and Wyckoff, Hull, Pauling and Zachariasen in this country a vast amount of information has been gathered in this field. It is the desire of the writer that the crystallographic data obtained during this investigation may prove to be of value in future crystallographic or chemical research

description: Negli Stati Uniti, le preoccupazioni connesse al dilagare delle azioni risarcitorie contro i sanitari e le strutture dove operano hanno indotto vari legislatori statali a introdurre regimi derogatori, più favorevole per i convenuti. Nelle pieghe di tali regimi si sono create sacche di impunità, ridimensionate da recenti pronunce che, nel Texas e nell’Alabama, hanno ripristinato le regole ordinarie in relazione alle cadute nelle aree ospedaliere e alle molestie sessuali in danno dei pazienti.

description: We provide a family of examples where the $F$-pure threshold and the log canonical threshold of a polynomial are different, but where $p$ does not divide the denominator of the $F$-pure threshold (compare with an example of \mustata-Takagi-Watanabe). We then study the $F$-signature function in the case where either the $F$-pure threshold and log canonical threshold coincide or where $p$ does not divide the denominator of the $F$-pure threshold. We show that the $F$-signature function behaves similarly in those two cases. Finally, we include an appendix which shows that the test ideal can still behave in surprising ways even when the $F$-pure threshold and log canonical threshold coincide.

description: Previous research on respiratory infection transmission among university students has primarily focused on influenza. In this study, we explore potential transmission events for multiple respiratory pathogens in a social contact network of university students. University students residing in on-campus housing (n = 590) were followed for the development of influenza-like illness for 10-weeks during the 2012–13 influenza season. A contact network was built using weekly self-reported contacts, class schedules, and housing information. We considered a transmission event to have occurred if students were positive for the same pathogen and had a network connection within a 14-day period. Transmitters were individuals who had onset date prior to their infected social contact. Throat and nasal samples were analysed for multiple viruses by RT-PCR. Five viruses were involved in 18 transmission events (influenza A, parainfluenza virus 3, rhinovirus, coronavirus NL63, respiratory syncytial virus). Transmitters had higher numbers of co-infections (67%). Identified transmission events had contacts reported in small classes (33%), dormitory common areas (22%) and dormitory rooms (17%). These results suggest that targeting person-to-person interactions, through measures such as isolation and quarantine, could reduce transmission of respiratory infections on campus.

Patch recolonization through migration by the echinoid Paracentrotus lividus in communities with high algal cover and low echinoid densities

description: We examined the recolonization of patches which had been artificially cleared of the echinoid Paracentrotus lividus. Our aim was to mimic an extraction event such as those produced by harvesters and to examine how long it took for the sea urchin to recolonize the cleared areas. We selected a community in which there was a low echinoid density (ca. 2 ind.m-2) and high algal cover. These conditions are typical of many rocky Mediterranean assemblages at depths below
 4-6 m. The experimental patches varied in the degree of isolation from neighbouring sea urchin. In these circumstances we found that recolonization was slow, and only in the most accessible zones did the sea urcchin abundance recover within 18 months. After 4 and a half years, the population had recovered to less than 46% of the original abundance in the most isolated area. Settlement and growth of urchins, rather than migration, may account for recolonization in isolated zones. We
 conclude that extraction of this species may have a long-lasting effect on the local populations of echinoids which, in turn, may influence algal communities.

description: Effective therapies are urgently needed for the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic. We identified panels of fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from large phage-displayed Fab, scFv, and VH libraries by panning against the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein. A high-affinity Fab was selected from one of the libraries and converted to a full-size antibody, IgG1 ab1, which competed with human ACE2 for binding to RBD. It potently neutralized replication-competent SARS-CoV-2 but not SARS-CoV, as measured by two different tissue culture assays, as well as a replication-competent mouse ACE2-adapted SARS-CoV-2 in BALB/c mice and native virus in hACE2-expressing transgenic mice showing activity at the lowest tested dose of 2 mg/kg. IgG1 ab1 also exhibited high prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in a hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The mechanism of neutralization is by competition with ACE2 but could involve antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) as IgG1 ab1 had ADCC activity in vitro. The ab1 sequence has a relatively low number of somatic mutations, indicating that ab1-like antibodies could be quickly elicited during natural SARS-CoV-2 infection or by RBD-based vaccines. IgG1 ab1 did not aggregate, did not exhibit other developability liabilities, and did not bind to any of the 5,300 human membrane-associated proteins tested. These results suggest that IgG1 ab1 has potential for therapy and prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infections. The rapid identification (within 6 d of availability of antigen for panning) of potent mAbs shows the value of large antibody libraries for response to public health threats from emerging microbes.

Government Policy Experiments and the Ethics of Randomization

description: Governments are increasingly using randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate policy interventions. RCTs are often understood to provide the highest quality evidence regarding the causal efficacy of an intervention. While randomization plays an essential epistemic role in the context of policy RCTs however, it also plays an important distributive role. By randomly assigning participants to either the intervention or control arm of an RCT, people are subject to different policies and so, often, to different types and levels of benefits. In this paper, I identify one necessary condition as well as a set of sufficient conditions for the permissible use of random assignment by government agencies. I argue first that random assignment is permissible only if it is consistent with governments’ duty to realize morally important outcomes. I argue second that random assignment is permissible in cases where investigators are in a state of genuine equipoise regarding all arms of the experiment and the policy to which people have a claim of justice. Finally, I defend a set of conditions under which random assignment is permissible in cases where one or more arms of a policy RCT are reasonably expected to be either superior or inferior to this policy.

La corrispondente alternativa tra la matrice unitaria della decisione collegiale e la seriatim opinion conosce, tuttavia, alcune deroghe, la più significativa delle quali è probabilmente data dall’introduzione delle opinioni concorrenti e dissenzienti in molte corti costituzionali dei sistemi di civil law.

Quantum Monte Carlo estimation of complex-time correlations for the study of the ground-state dynamic structure function

description: We present a method based on the Path Integral Monte Carlo formalism for the calculation of ground-state time correlation functions in quantum systems. The key point of the method is the consideration of time as a complex variable whose phase $δ$ acts as an adjustable parameter. By using high-order approximations for the quantum propagator, it is possible to obtain Monte Carlo data all the way from purely imaginary time to $δ$ values near the limit of real time. As a consequence, it is possible to infer accurately the spectral functions using simple inversion algorithms. We test this approach in the calculation of the dynamic structure function $S(q,ω)$ of two one-dimensional model systems, harmonic and quartic oscillators, for which $S(q,ω)$ can be exactly calculated. We notice a clear improvement in the calculation of the dynamic response with respect to the common approach based on the inverse Laplace transform of the imaginary-time correlation function.

Epibiosis and masking material in the spider crab Maja squinado (Decapoda: Majidae) in the Ría de Arousa (Galicia, NW Spain)

description: Majid crabs present a marked masking behaviour, which, in addition to the phenomenon of epibiosis on their exoskeleton, constitutes a complex camouflage system to ward off predators. This paper presents a study on the floral and faunal composition of the epibiont and masking material of the decapod Maja squinado in the Ría de Arousa (Galicia, NW Spain). A total of 309 taxa were identified. Seaweeds (87 species), cnidarians (48), polychaetes (46), crustaceans (36) and
 molluscs (30) were the groups with a higher number of species. The frequency of occurrence of these groups was about 70%. Ascidians, poriferans, bryozoans and echinoderms were less important in number of species and frequency of occurrence. The quantitative impact of each of these groups and their species composition varies considerably, and depends on the area of the ría where M. squinado was found and the time that had elapsed since the terminal moult. The pre-pubertal spider crabs found in shallow water areas showed strong masking behaviour, while epibiosis was very scarce. Once individuals have undergone the pubertal moult, epibiosis begins, while the masking behaviour decreases and finally disappears.

description: We develop an approach for performing scaling analysis of $N$-step Random Walks (RWs). The mean square end-to-end distance, $\langle\vec{R}_{N}^{2}\rangle$, is written in terms of inner persistence lengths (IPLs), which we define by the ensemble averages of dot products between the walker's position and displacement vectors, at the $j$-th step. For RW models statistically invariant under orthogonal transformations, we analytically introduce a relation between $\langle\vec{R}_{N}^{2}\rangle$ and the persistence length, $λ_{N}$, which is defined as the mean end-to-end vector projection in the first step direction. For Self-Avoiding Walks (SAWs) on 2D and 3D lattices we introduce a series expansion for $λ_{N}$, and by Monte Carlo simulations we find that $λ_{\infty}$ is equal to a constant; the scaling corrections for $λ_{N}$ can be second and higher order corrections to scaling for $\langle\vec{R}_{N}^{2}\rangle$. Building SAWs with typically one hundred steps, we estimate the exponents $ν_{0}$ and $Δ_{1}$ from the IPL behavior as function of $j$. The obtained results are in excellent agreement with those in the literature. This shows that only an ensemble of paths with the same length is sufficient for determining the scaling behavior of $\langle\vec{R}_{N}^{2}\rangle$, being that the whole information needed is contained in the inner part of the paths.

Year: 2018

description: Background: Emotional and physical support for mothers is associated with realization of their breastfeeding goals. However, few studies have investigated maternal postnatal unit experience of these domains.Research Aim: The objective was to investigate maternal report of their birthing facility experiences during the postpartum period and test relationships with the outcome of whether or not the women met their breastfeeding goals.  Methods: After approval from the UNC-Chapel Hill Non-Biomedical IRB (16-2531), data were obtained through an online survey distributed from November 2016-May 2017. This analysis utilizes data from 2,921 women who were at least 18 years of age, residing in the United States, had given birth within five years, and reported that they had intended to breastfeed. Bivariate analysis was followed by logistic regression to control for the significant covariates of maternal race, cesarean section delivery, infant born preterm, and neonatal intensive care unit utilization.Results: The following postnatal unit variables were positively associated with the outcome of meeting breastfeeding goals: women feeling welcome, wanting to be discharged sooner, feeling that care promoted physical health, feeling that care promoted emotional health, being referred to by name, feeling supported, and feeling recognized. All measured variables were significantly correlated with each other.Conclusions: Women’s experiences of birth facility practices during the postpartum period are interrelated and are associated with the mothers meeting goals for infant feeding prior to discharge. Qualitative and observational research can address the mechanisms underlying these outcomes, for enabling breastfeeding and to provide the care that women deserve.

description: The dimorphism of the males of Macropodia rostrata is not only concerning the size of the claws, but at a lower degree, the dimensions of the walking legs. The imaginai moulting is marked by a discontinuity of the relative growth of the céphalothorax for every segment of all the appendages. Each of these segments has his own characteristics of growth, but these characteristics are not independant and vary in a regular way in connection with the rank of the appendage to whom it belongs. The same regularities are observed for the high and low males and for this reason it is possible to demonstrate the existence of a system of longitudinal and transversal gradients, which structure is not modified by the imaginal moulting.

description: Methyl acetate (CH_3COOCH_3) has been recently observed by IRAM 30 m radio telescope in Orion though the presence of its deuterated isotopomers is yet to be confirmed. We therefore study the properties of various forms of methyl acetate, namely, CH_3COOCH_3, CH_2DCOOCH_3 and CH_3COOCH_2D. Our simulation reveals that these species could be produced efficiently both in gas as well as in ice phases. Production of methyl acetate could follow radical-radical reaction between acetyl (CH_3CO) and methoxy (CH_3O) radicals. To predict abundances of CH_3COOCH_3 along with its two singly deuterated isotopomers and its two isomers (ethyl formate and hydroxyacetone), we prepare a gas-grain chemical network to study chemical evolution of these molecules. Since gas phase rate coefficients for methyl acetate and its related species were unknown, either we consider similar rate coefficients for similar types of reactions (by following existing data bases) or we carry out quantum chemical calculations to estimate the unknown rate coefficients. For the surface reactions, we use adsorption energies of reactants from some earlier studies. Moreover, we perform quantum chemical calculations to obtain spectral properties of methyl acetate in infrared and sub-millimeter regions. We prepare two catalog files for the rotational transitions of CH_2DCOOCH_3 and CH_3COOCH_2D in JPL format, which could be useful for their detection in regions of interstellar media where CH_3COOCH_3 has already been observed.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020
Subjects: Methadone maintenance

description: Purpose: Methadone maintenance treatment is a life-saving treatment for people with opioid use disorders (OUD). The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) introduces many concerns surrounding access to opioid treatment. In March 2020, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) issued guidance allowing the expansion of take-home methadone doses. We sought to describe changes to treatment experiences from the perspective of persons receiving methadone at outpatient treatment facilities for OUD.
Methods: We conducted an in-person survey among 104 persons receiving methadone from three clinics in central North Carolina. Surveys collected information on demographic characteristics, methadone treatment history, and experiences with take-home methadone doses in the context of COVID-19 (i.e., before and since March 2020). 
Results: Before COVID-19, the clinic-level percent of participants receiving any amount of days’ supply of take-home doses at each clinic ranged from 56% to 82%, while it ranged from 78% to 100% since COVID-19. The clinic-level percent of participants receiving a take-homes days’ supply of a week or longer (i.e., ≥6 days) since COVID-19 ranged from 11% to 56%. Of the 87 participants who received take-homes since COVID-19 began, only four reported selling their take-home doses. 
Conclusions: Our study found variation in experiences of take-home dosing by clinic and little diversion of take-home doses. While SAMSHA guidance should allow expanded access to take-home doses, adoption of these guidelines may vary at the clinic level. The adoption of these policies should be explored further, particularly in the context of benefits to patients seeking treatment for OUD.

description: This proposal describes an Accountable Care Community (ACC) that will increase economic stability in Fayetteville, North Carolina (NC) to improve the health of Cumberland County (CC) residents. Economic stability is an important social determinant of health. Fayetteville has a poverty prevalence of 19.2% compared to 17% and 13% in CC and NC, respectively. Poverty has a negative impact on citizens’ health contributing to CC ranking 73rd among NC counties in health outcomes. This proposal describes a multigenerational approach to decrease poverty by providing workforce development opportunities and increased funding to expand Early Head Start (EHS) for families in Fayetteville. Both Workforce development and EHS correlate to improved health outcomes by enabling parents to increase their incomes and allowing children to build strong socioemotional skills and improve academic achievement, respectively. This ACC entails an interdisciplinary partnership with the CC Health Department acting as the backbone organization.

description: Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below the thermodynamic limit, in non-equilibrium situations, and with the full inclusion of quantum effects. Fuelled by experimental advances and the potential of future nanoscale applications this research effort is pursued by scientists with different backgrounds, including statistical physics, many-body theory, mesoscopic physics and quantum information theory, who bring various tools and methods to the field. A multitude of theoretical questions are being addressed ranging from issues of thermalisation of quantum systems and various definitions of "work", to the efficiency and power of quantum engines. This overview provides a perspective on a selection of these current trends accessible to postgraduate students and researchers alike.

description: Micromechanical constitutive parameters are important for many engineering materials, typically in microelectronic applications and material design. Their accurate identification poses a three-fold experimental challenge: (i) deformation of the microstructure is observable only at small scales, requiring SEM or other microscopy techniques; (ii) external loadings are applied at a (larger) engineering or device scale; and (iii) material parameters typically depend on the applied manufacturing process, necessitating measurements on material produced with the same process. In this paper, micromechanical parameter identification in heterogeneous solids is addressed through multiscale experiments combined with Integrated Digital Image Correlation (IDIC) in conjunction with various possible computational homogenization schemes. To this end, some basic concepts underlying multiscale approaches available in the literature are first reviewed, discussing their respective advantages and disadvantages from the computational as well as experimental point of view. A link is made with recently introduced uncoupled methods, which allow for identification of material parameter ratios at the microscale, still lacking a proper normalization. Two multiscale methods are analysed, allowing to bridge the gap between microstructural kinematics and macroscopically measured forces, providing the required normalization. It is shown that an integrated experimental--computational scheme provides relaxed requirements on scale separation. The accuracy and performance of the discussed techniques are analysed by means of virtual experimentation under plane strain and large strain assumptions for unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites. The robustness against image noise is also assessed.

ÉTUDES ÉCOLOGIQUES SUR LES SABLES INTERCOTIDAUX. Il - Distribution des granulometries sur les plages bretonnes exposées au large
Creators: name: PRENANT, Marcel
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1963

description: Applying the method of granulometric representation with the number of grains, the author shows that the studied shores of Brittany are divided into two categories, according to the regime of the near by marine currents. In the regions with gyratory marine currents and maximum speeds under 1,5 knot (from the Atlantic coast of Quiberon to Saint Mathieu’s foreland), the granulometries are very fine, the critical abscissa (close to the maximum of the ponderal curves) being comprised between 80 and 125 ß. In the regions with alternative and parallel to the coast marine currents, the maximum speeds of which run over 2 knots (Chenal du Four, and coast of the Channel), the granulometries, less fine generally, are distributed with a certain periodical regularity. We know thus three of the regular systems. In each of them the critical abscissa varies from West to East from 300 p. to 80 /¿, from Brignogan to the bay of Plouescat ; from Kerfissien to the bay of Santee, from the island of Batz to the bay of Lannion. Each one of these three bays, where the sedimentation is a fine as on the Atlantic shores of Brittany, correspond to an anomaly of the marine currents, which are there more or less gyratory and of a lighter speed. Each one is followed with a projecting rock which separates the two consecutive systems, and from where the granulometries of the scarce sandy sediments are rough and irregularly distributed. Apart from these particular projecting rocks and bays, the sériation of the granulometries appears to be widely indépendant from the topography of the coast and the nature of the overhanging rocks, and seems to express, first of all, the regime of the currents at large, the influence of the waves and domineering winds being secondarily interesting, and the influence of the coast showing mostly through the local conditions. An interpretation of these facts is proposed for the coast of Brittany studied in the preceding articles, and briefly discussed.

description: We provide a comprehensive reply to the comment written by Chiara Angelini and Federico Ricci-Tersenghi [arXiv:2206.13211] and argue that the comment singles out one particular non-representative example problem, entirely focusing on the maximum independent set (MIS) on sparse graphs, for which greedy algorithms are expected to perform well. Conversely, we highlight the broader algorithmic development underlying our original work, and (within our original framework) provide additional numerical results showing sizable improvements over our original results, thereby refuting the comment's performance statements. We also provide results showing run-time scaling superior to the results provided by Angelini and Ricci-Tersenghi. Furthermore, we show that the proposed set of random d-regular graphs does not provide a universal set of benchmark instances, nor do greedy heuristics provide a universal algorithmic baseline. Finally, we argue that the internal (parallel) anatomy of graph neural networks is very different from the (sequential) nature of greedy algorithms and emphasize that graph neural networks have demonstrated their potential for superior scalability compared to existing heuristics such as parallel tempering. We conclude by discussing the conceptual novelty of our work and outline some potential extensions.

Entropy production and detailed balance for a class of quantum Markov semigroups
Creators: name: Fagnola, Franco

Year: 2015

description: We give an explicit entropy production formula for a class of quantum Markov semigroups, arising in the weak coupling limit of a system coupled with reservoirs, whose generators $\mathcal{L}$ are sums of other generators $\mathcal{L}_ω$ associated with positive Bohr frequencies $ω$ of the system. As a consequence, we show that any such semigroup satisfies the quantum detailed balance condition with respect to an invariant state if and only if all semigroups generated by each $\mathcal{L}_ω$ so do with respect to the same invariant state.
