description: This study examines the role that the right behavioral cues can play in changing lunchroom habits and transitioning children towards healthier eating habits. We accomplish this by encouraging middle school children to pre-select their meals using a web-based software program where they are nudged by visual behavioral cues to make healthier food choices during pre-ordering. Our research design allows us to separate the effect of pre-selection from the effect of nudging on eating habits. We predict that pre-selecting lunch via the web based program with in-built behavioral cues will result in an increase in the weekly selection of fruits, vegetables, and low fat dairy.

description: New \textit{ab initio} calculations of the isotopic reactor antineutrino fluxes are provided with exact numerical calculations of the lepton wave functions, assuming all the decay branches are allowed GT transitions. We illustrate that the analytical Fermi function and finite size effect each could have the largest spectral deviation of $\mathcal{O}(10\%)$, whereas the effect of their combination could result in spectral deviations at the level of 5%-10%. Meanwhile, we also find that several forms of the extended charge distributions have negligible effects on the spectral variation. Using the state-of-the-art nuclear databases, compared to usual \textit{ab initio} calculations using the analytical single beta decay spectrum, our new calculation shows sizable but opposite spectral deviations at the level of 2%-4% for the cumulative antineutrino and electron energy spectra which may partially contribute to the observed spectral excess in the high energy antineutrino range. Finally we observe that the {bias} of analytical beta decay spectrum approximation is rather universal for all the four fissionable isotopes.

description: An important classification problem in Algebraic Geometry deals with pairs $(\E,ϕ)$, consisting of a torsion free sheaf $\E$ and a non-trivial homomorphism $ϕ\colon (\E^{\otimes a})^{\oplus b}\lra\det(\E)^{\otimes c}\otimes Ł$ on a polarized complex projective manifold $(X,Ø_X(1))$, the input data $a$, $b$, $c$, $Ł$ as well as the Hilbert polynomial of $\E$ being fixed. The solution to the classification problem consists of a family of moduli spaces ${\cal M}^δ:={\cal M}^{δ-\rm ss}_{a/b/c/L/P}$ for the $δ$-semistable objects, where $δ\in\Q[x]$ can be any positive polynomial of degree at most $\dim X-1$. In this note we show that there are only finitely many distinct moduli spaces among the ${\cal M}^δ$ and that they sit in a chain of "GIT-flips". This property has been known and proved by ad hoc arguments in several special cases. In our paper, we apply refined information on the instability flag to solve this problem. This strategy is inspired by the fundamental paper of Ramanan and Ramanathan on the instability flag.

description: In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamics of the charged NUT black hole with the Misner strings present in the Einstein-Maxwell gravity. We show that the Misner charge $N$ can be obtained by performing Komar integration over the Misner strings in the presence of electric and magnetic charges and the corresponding Smarr relation and first law can also be naturally established based on this geometric perspective. Besides, we demonstrate that the electric and magnetic charges appearing in the first law and Smarr relation are contingent on the special choice of gauge freedom for the electric and magnetic potentials. We re-derive two different versions of thermodynamics according to distinct choices of gauge and furthermore, we try to formulate more general thermodynamic laws under other arbitrary choices of gauge and deduce the conditions necessary to satisfy the Smarr relations and first laws simultaneously.

description: OBJETIVOS Analisar a variação sazonal e a influência de fatores meteorológicos na incidência a 5 anos de descolamento regmatógeno da retina (DRR), na região centro do país e região autónoma da Madeira (RAM). MÉTODOS Série de casos consecutiva, retrospetiva e multicêntrica. Incluíram-se doentes submetidos a cirurgia de DRR no Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra e Hospital Doutor Nélio Mendonça entre Janeiro’10 e Dezembro’14. A seleção de casos foi feita através codificação ICD-9-CM e os critérios de inclusão foram: 1)idade ≥18 anos; 2)DRR de novo; 3)reparação cirúrgica do DRR. Consideraram-se critérios de exclusão: 1)DR tracional, exsudativo ou misto; 2)DR antigo ou re-descolamento; 3)soluções de continuidade ou lesões regmatógenas tratadas apenas com laser. Os dados meteorológicos diários das estações de Coimbra, Leiria, Aveiro, Viseu, Guarda, Castelo Branco e Funchal, foram utilizados na análise estatística. RESULTADOS Foram incluídos 1013 olhos (914 da região centro e 99 da RAM), com idade média 61,84±14,00 anos. Através de um modelo cronológico de regressão linear constatou-se a presença de sazonalidade com picos nos meses de Maio e Setembro. A temperatura média apresentou uma associação marginalmente significativa com a incidência de DRR num modelo biológico de regressão linear considerando os mais fortes preditores de DRR da amostra. CONCLUSÕES Os nossos resultados demonstram que a incidência de DRR se associa a um padrão sazonal significativo que parece ser explicado pela temperatura. Este estudo alerta para a necessidade de um eficaz planeamento em saúde que deverá passar por uma gestão harmoniosa de recursos humanos em épocas de maior incidência.

Envelope Structure of Starless Core L694-2 Derived from a Near-Infrared Extinction Map

description: We present a near-infrared extinction study of the dark globule L694-2, a starless core that shows strong evidence for inward motions in molecular line profiles. The J,H, and K band data were taken using the European Southern Observatory New Technology Telescope. The best fit simple spherical power law model has index p=2.6 +/- 0.2, over the 0.036--0.1 pc range in radius sampled in extinction. This power law slope is steeper than the value of p=2 for a singular isothermal sphere, the initial condition of the inside-out model for protostellar collapse. Including an additional extinction component along the line of sight further steepens the inferred profile. Fitting a Bonnor-Ebert sphere results in a super-critical value of the dimensionless radius xi_max=25 +/- 3. The unstable configuration of material may be related to the observed inward motions. The Bonnor-Ebert model matches the shape of the observed profile, but significantly underestimates the amount of extinction (by a factor of ~4). This discrepancy in normalization has also been found for the nearby protostellar core B335 (Harvey et al. 2001). A cylindrical density model with scale height H=0.0164+/- 0.002 pc viewed at a small inclination to the cylinder axis provides an equally good radial profile as a power law model, and reproduces the asymmetry of the core remarkably well. In addition, this model provides a basis for understanding the discrepancy in the normalization of the Bonnor-Ebert model, namely that L694-2 has prolate structure, with the full extent (mass) of the core being missed by assuming symmetry between the profiles in the plane of the sky and along the line-of-sight. If the core is sufficiently magnetized then fragmentation may be avoided, and later evolution might produce a protostar similar to B335.

description: The impact of export restrictions on market uncertainty has not been investigated before. This paper analyses the development of price volatility in the Ukrainian wheat market characterized by export restrictions during the commodity price peaks 2007/08 and 2010/11 within a dynamic conditional correlation GARCH model. We conclude that the export controls in Ukraine have not significantly reduced price volatility on the domestic wheat market. On the contrary, our findings suggest that the multiple and unpredictable political interference of the Ukrainian government on the wheat export market has substantially increased market uncertainty which led to pronounced additional price volatility in the market. The highly uncertain and unpredictable environment of wheat markets with restricted exports has dramatic consequences for the grain sector in Ukraine and prevents its further development.
Quantum mechanics from two physical postulates

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For an arbitrary preparation, quantum mechanical descriptions refer to the complementary contexts set by incompatible measurements. We argue that an arbitrary preparation, therefore, should be described with respect to such a context by its degrees of disturbance (represented by real numbers) and their probability distribution (postulate 1). Measurement contexts thus provide reference frames for the preparation space of a physical system; a preparation being described by a point in this space with the aforementioned as its coordinates relative to a given measurement apparatus. However, all measurement contexts are equivalent with regard to the description of a given preparation; there is no preferred measurement (postulate 2). In the framework provided by the preparation space, we show that quantum mechanics emerges naturally from the above postulates in a new formulation which is manifestly canonical; provided the degrees of disturbance are identified with the quantum phases of the preparation with respect to (the basis furnished by) the measurement apparatus.

description: Massive neutrinos influence the background evolution of the Universe as well as the growth of structure. Being able to model this effect and constrain the sum of their masses is one of the key challenges in modern cosmology. Weak-lensing cosmological constraints will also soon reach higher levels of precision with next-generation surveys like LSST, WFIRST and Euclid. We use the MassiveNus simulations to derive constraints on the sum of neutrino masses $M_ν$, the present-day total matter density $Ω_{\rm m}$, and the primordial power spectrum normalization $A_{\rm s}$ in a tomographic setting. We measure the lensing power spectrum as second-order statistics along with peak counts as higher-order statistics on lensing convergence maps generated from the simulations. We investigate the impact of multiscale filtering approaches on cosmological parameters by employing a starlet (wavelet) filter and a concatenation of Gaussian filters. In both cases peak counts perform better than the power spectrum on the set of parameters [$M_ν$, $Ω_{\rm m}$, $A_{\rm s}$] respectively by 63$\%$, 40$\%$ and 72$\%$ when using a starlet filter and by 70$\%$, 40$\%$ and 77$\%$ when using a multiscale Gaussian. More importantly, we show that when using a multiscale approach, joining power spectrum and peaks does not add any relevant information over considering just the peaks alone. While both multiscale filters behave similarly, we find that with the starlet filter the majority of the information in the data covariance matrix is encoded in the diagonal elements; this can be an advantage when inverting the matrix, speeding up the numerical implementation.

description: Classical randomized algorithms use a coin toss instruction to explore different evolutionary branches of a problem. Quantum algorithms, on the other hand, can explore multiple evolutionary branches by mere superposition of states. Discrete quantum random walks, studied in the literature, have nonetheless used both superposition and a quantum coin toss instruction. This is not necessary, and a discrete quantum random walk without a quantum coin toss instruction is defined and analyzed here. Our construction eliminates quantum entanglement from the algorithm, and the results match those obtained with a quantum coin toss instruction.

description: Introdução: as anomalias transitórias da permeabilidade vascular estão bem documentadas após a cirurgia de catarata, sendo frequentemente auto-limitadas. A manifestação típica abrange desde a exsudação sub-clínica ao edema macular clinicamente significativo, sendo este último mais frequente na presença de factores de risco. Objectivos: Os autores reportam um caso clínico de descolamento exsudativo da retina e edema macular no pós-operatório imediato de uma cirurgia de catarata por faco-emulsificação sem complicações, num doente sem factores de risco. Material e métodos: caso clínico de doente de 72 anos, sexo masculino, sem antecedentes relevantes oftalmológicos ou outros, submetido a cirurgia de catarata do olho direito por faco-emulsificação e colocação de lente intra-ocular no saco capsular, sem complicações cirúrgicas. 24 horas após a cirurgia, observou-se um extenso descolamento seroso do polo posterior e edema macular cistóide. Na angiografia fluoresceínica detectaram-se múltiplos locais de “leakage”. Optou-se pela observação e medicação com acetazolamida oral e nepafenac tópico, com total resolução do quadro clínico após 1 mês. A acuidade visual melhor corrigida final foi de 10/10. Discussão e conclusão: a permeabilidade vascular alterada após a cirurgia de catarata é frequente, mesmo em doentes sem factores de risco para edema macular. Pode resultar não apenas em manifestações sub-clínicas ou clínicas de edema intra-retiniano, mas também em acumulação de fluido subretiniano. O caso apresentado é raro pela precocidade da manifestação e extensão do fluido subretiniano, num doente sem factores de risco.

description: Objectivos: Após os estudos MIVI-TRUST, a ocriplasmina foi aprovada para a terapêutica de tracções vítreo-maculares focais, acompanhadas de alterações visuais e/ou de buraco macular <400μm. Os autores apresentam a sua experiência com a injecção de ocriplasmina e propõem um novo método de avaliação da área das TVMs. Métodos: durante o ano de 2014 foram seleccionados 8 doentes (9 olhos) com TVM focal ou buraco macular. Após a administração intravítrea de 125μg de ocriplasmina, cada doente foi avaliado diariamente nos primeiros 7 dias e, depois, semanalmente. O follow-up mínimo foi de 6 meses. Resultados: a idade média na amostra foi de 70,8 anos, com 5 olhos fáquicos e 4 pseudo-fáquicos. Um doente tinha um buraco macular de 263µm. O tamanho da TVM médio foi de 449.3 µm, sendo a área de aderência média de 0.19mm2. Constatou-se resolução total da tracção vítreo-macular em 44% (4 casos) e parcial em 11% (1 caso). A libertação constatou-se em média aos 20.8 dias, tendo um caso libertando apenas ao 56º dia. A área média de aderência do grupo que não libertou foi o dobro da média dos doentes com libertação da TVM (0.12 vs 0.25 mm2, respectivamente). A acuidade visual média no grupo com sucesso melhorou em 2/10 no 1º mês e em 3/10 ao 6º mês. Não reportamos eventos adversos graves. Conclusão: verificámos uma taxa de sucesso superior à descrita no estudo MIVI-TRUST. Provavelmente, tal deveu-se a melhores critérios de selecção. A medição da área de aderência revelou-se potencialmente útil na avaliação da TVM.

description: We present an introductory review of the early time dynamics of high-energy heavy-ion collisions and the kinetics of high temperature QCD. The equilibration mechanisms in the quark-gluon plasma uniquely reflect the non-abelian and ultra-relativistic character of the many body system. Starting with a brief expose of the key theoretical and experimental questions, we provide an overview of the theoretical tools employed in weak coupling studies of the early time non-equilibrium dynamics. We highlight theoretical progress in understanding different thermalization mechanisms in weakly coupled non-abelian plasmas, and discuss their relevance in describing the approach to local thermal equilibrium during the first ${\rm fm}/c$ of a heavy-ion collision. Some important connections to the phenomenology of heavy-ion collisions are also briefly discussed.

description: We report on the recent results of the hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM). The model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction which is inspired by Lattice QCD calculations and reproduces the average energy values of the SU(6) multiplets. The splittings within each multiplet are obtained with a SU(6)-breaking interaction, which can include also an isospin dependent term. All the 3- and 4-stars resonances are well reproduced. Moreover, as all the Constituent Quark models, the hCQM predicts ``missing'' resonances ({\em e.g.} extra $S11$ and $P13$ states) which can be of some help for the experimental identification of new resonances. The model provides also a good description of the medium $Q^2$-behavior of the electromagnetic transition form factors. In particular the calculated helicity amplitude $A_{1/2}$ for the $S_{11}(1535)$ resonance agrees very well with the recent CLAS data. More recently, the elastic nucleon form factors have been calculated using a relativistic version of the hCQM and a relativistic quark current.

description: The detailed magnetic field structure of the starless dense core CB81 (L1774, Pipe 42) in the Pipe Nebula was determined based on near-infrared polarimetric observations of background stars to measure dichroically polarized light produced by magnetically aligned dust grains in the core. The magnetic fields pervading CB81 were mapped using 147 stars and axisymmetrically distorted hourglass-like fields were identified. On the basis of simple 2D and 3D magnetic field modeling, the magnetic inclination angles in the plane-of-sky and line-of-sight directions were determined to be $4^{\circ} \pm 8^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ} \pm 20^{\circ}$, respectively. The total magnetic field strength of CB81 was found to be $7.2 \pm 2.3$ $μ{\rm G}$. Taking into account the effects of thermal/turbulent pressure and magnetic fields, the critical mass of CB81 was calculated to be $M_{\rm cr}=4.03 \pm 0.40$ M$_{\odot}$, which is close to the observed core mass of $M_{\rm core}=3.37 \pm 0.51$ M$_{\odot}$. We thus conclude that CB81 is in a condition close to the critical state. In addition, a spatial offset of $92''$ was found between the center of magnetic field geometry and the dust extinction distribution; this offset structure could not have been produced by self-gravity. The data also indicate a linear relationship between polarization and extinction up to $A_V \sim 30$ mag going toward the core center. This result confirms that near-infrared polarization can accurately trace the overall magnetic field structure of the core.

description: Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. In condensed matter devices, material imperfections hinder a direct connection to simple topological models. Artificial systems, such as photonic platforms or cold atomic gases, open novel possibilities by enabling specific probes of topology or flexible manipulation e.g. using synthetic dimensions. However, the relevance of topological properties requires the notion of a bulk, which was missing in previous works using synthetic dimensions of limited sizes. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension and one synthetic dimension encoded in the atomic spin $J=8$. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors. Furthermore, we measure the Hall drift and reconstruct the local Chern marker, an observable that has remained, so far, experimentally inaccessible. In the center of the synthetic dimension -- a bulk of 11 states out of 17 -- the Chern marker reaches 98(5)\% of the quantized value expected for a topological system. Our findings pave the way towards the realization of topological many-body phases.

description: A trabeculoplastia seletiva por laser é uma opção terapêutica válida para o glaucoma e HTO, sendo utilizada desde 1995. Tem-se mostrado eficaz na redução da pressão intraocular, induzindo um dano mínimo na malha trabecular. Mais frequentemente, é aplicada sob a forma de 50 spots em 180º da malha trabecular ou 100 spots em 360º com eficácia que parece ser comparável entre as duas modalidades. É um procedimento de baixo risco, com efeitos secundários mínimos e transitórios, que resolvem na maioria dos casos com terapêutica anti-inflamatória ou hipotensora tópica. Em caso de falência terapêutica com o tempo, tem sido demonstrado que pode ser repetida com segurança e eficácia. A SLT pode ser considerada tratamento de primeira linha no glaucoma de ângulo aberto e HTO, com relação custo-benefício aceitável, sendo ainda um tratamento independente da compliance do doente. Com este artigo, pretende-se fazer uma revisão da literatura sobre os mecanismos de acção, eficácia e complicações da trabeculoplastia laser, comparando-a com outros tratamentos para o glaucoma e HTO. Será feita, ainda, uma breve referência à experiência com a trabeculoplastia seletiva por laser, do Serviço de Oftalmologia do Centro Hospitalar de São João.

description: We use high resolution collisionless $N$-body simulations to study the secular evolution of disk galaxies and in particular the final properties of disks that suffer a bar and perhaps a bar-buckling instability. Although we find that bars are not destroyed by the buckling instability, when we decompose the radial density profiles of the secularly-evolved disks into inner Sérsic and outer exponential components, for favorable viewing angles, the resulting structural parameters, scaling relations and global kinematics of the bar components are in good agreement with those obtained for bulges of late-type galaxies. Round bulges may require a different formation channel or dissipational processes.

description: The formalism to describe the scattering of a weakly bound projectile nucleus by a heavy target is investigated, using the Uncorrelated Scattering Approximation. The main assumption involved is to neglect the correlation between the fragments of the projectile in the region where the interaction with the target is important. It is shown that the angular momentum of each fragment with respect to the target is conserved. Moreover, when suitable approximations are assumed, the kinetic energy of each fragment is also shown to be conserved. The S-matrix for the scattering of the composite system can be written as a combination of terms, each one being proportional to the product of the S-matrices of the fragments.

description: We report the realization of a synthetic magnetic field for photons and polaritons in a honeycomb lattice of coupled semiconductor micropillars. A strong synthetic field is induced in both the s and p orbital bands by engineering a uniaxial hopping gradient in the lattice, giving rise to the formation of Landau levels at the Dirac points. We provide direct evidence of the sublattice symmetry breaking of the lowest-order Landau level wavefunction, a distinctive feature of synthetic magnetic fields. Our realization implements helical edge states in the gap between n=0 and n=1 Landau levels, experimentally demonstrating a novel way of engineering propagating edge states in photonic lattices. In light of recent advances in the enhancement of polariton-polariton nonlinearities, the Landau levels reported here are promising for the study of the interplay between pseudomagnetism and interactions in a photonic system.

Extreme AGN Variability in LSST and Follow-up Challenges
Creators: name: Temple, Matthew
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Our understanding of AGN variability is continually increasing with data from ongoing surveys, but the Rubin Observatory will open a new discovery window in parameter space. LSST will be able to identify extreme variability events in AGN, which could be driven by rapid changes in the SMBH accretion flow, changes in obscuration, jet activity, microlensing, or possibly even more exotic physics. This multiplicity of physical mechanisms means that changes in the LSST photometric time series will not always correlate with changes in the spectroscopic type classification. Timely spectroscopic and/or multiwavelength follow-up will be required to classify such phenomena, and subsequent monitoring will be crucially important to provide the observational foundation for physical interpretation. However, such objects will first need to be selected from the LSST data stream - all AGN are variable at some level and care will be needed to identify “extreme” variability events from the background defined by the rest of the AGN population.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Within Pair distributions of ADI-R C scores. A within-pair difference per pair consists of the difference in score for RRBIs on ADI-R between 2 twins in a pair. The within-pair difference ranged from 0 to 5 points (B panel) in the cohort. Figure S2. The figure illustrates the within-pair difference model that was implemented in the analyses. The example shows within-pair difference associations in 3 twin pairs. Each line connects 2 individuals from one twin pair. In these examples, the individuals with a higher RRBI score on ADI-R compared to their co-twin, also had smaller right cerebellar cortex volumes. Figure S3. Within-pair association between RRBIs on ADI-R scores and thickness of the right intraparietal sulcus in males and females. Each dot represents one twin pair. For females (light-grey), there was a significant positive within-pair association between RRBIs on ADI-R and thickness of the right intraparietal sulcus.

description: We study the multifractal temporal scaling properties of river discharge and precipitation records. We compare the results for the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis method with the results for the wavelet transform modulus maxima technique and obtain agreement within the error margins. In contrast to previous studies, we find non-universal behaviour: On long time scales, above a crossover time scale of several months, the runoff records are described by fluctuation exponents varying from river to river in a wide range. Similar variations are observed for the precipitation records which exhibit weaker, but still significant multifractality. For all runoff records the type of multifractality is consistent with a modified version of the binomial multifractal model, while several precipitation records seem to require different models.

description: Multi-connectivity (MC) with packet duplication, where the same data packet is duplicated and transmitted from multiple transmitters, is proposed in 5G New Radio as a reliability enhancement feature. However, it is found to be resource inefficient, since radio resources from more than one transmitters are required to serve a single user. Improving the performance enhancement vs. resource utilization tradeoff with MC is therefore a key design challenge. This work proposes a heuristic resource efficient latency-aware dynamic MC algorithm which activates MC selectively such that its benefits are harnessed for critical users, while minimizing the corresponding resource usage. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm can deliver the outage performance gains of legacy MC schemes while requiring up to 45% less resources.
