description: The Lombardy region was among the areas most affected by COVID-19 infection worldwide; the Lombardy Emergency Medical System (EMS) responded immediately to this emergency. We analyzed several critical aspects to understand what occurred in that region. This retrospective study compares the events managed by the dispatch center and the characteristics of the patients transported to the hospital -age, sex, SpO2, deaths- managed by the EMS in Brescia and Bergamo provinces between March-April 2020 and March-April 2019. Ambulances’ waiting time at the hospitals before discharging patients and the patients’ severity at emergency department admission were also analyzed. EMS managed 37,340 events in March-April 2020, +51.5% versus 2019. “Breathing” or “Infective” events reported to the dispatch center increased more than ten-fold (OR 25.1, p 2 in 2020 than in 2019 and they were younger. The Lombardy region experienced an unexpected outbreak in an extremely short timeframe and in a limited area. The EMS coped with this pandemic, covering an extremely higher number of requests, with a ten-fold increase in the number of events managed.

description: We aimed to determine the factors associated with rearrest after prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and examine the factors associated with survival despite rearrest. We conducted a prospective multi-regional observational study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients between August 2015 and July 2016. Patients received prehospital advanced cardiovascular life support performed by emergency medical technicians (EMTs). EMTs were directly supervised by medical directors (physicians) via real-time smartphone video calls [Smart Advanced Life Support (SALS)]. The study participants were categorized into rearrest (+) and rearrest (−) groups depending on whether rearrest occurred after prehospital ROSC. After rearrest, patients were further classified as survivors or non-survivors at discharge. SALS was performed in 1,711 OHCA patients. Prehospital ROSC occurred in 345 patients (20.2%); of these patients, 189 (54.8%) experienced rearrest [rearrest (+) group] and 156 did not experience rearrest [rearrest (−) group]. Multivariate analysis showed that a longer interval from collapse to first prehospital ROSC was independently associated with rearrest [odds ratio (OR) 1.081; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.050–1.114]. The presence of an initial shockable rhythm was independently associated with survival after rearrest (OR 6.920; 95% CI 2.749–17.422). As a predictor of rearrest, the interval from collapse to first prehospital ROSC (cut-off: 24 min) had a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 54% (AUC = 0.715 [95% CI 0.661–0.769]). A longer interval from collapse to first prehospital ROSC was associated with rearrest, and an initial shockable rhythm was associated with survival despite the occurrence of rearrest. Emergency medical service providers and physicians should be prepared to deal with rearrest when pulses are obtained late in the resuscitation.
The Hubble-Lemaître constant and sound horizon from low-redshift probes

description: We revisit the claimed tension, or lack thereof, of measured values of the Hubble-Lemaître parameter $H_0$ from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data and low-redshift indicators. Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) rely on the scale of the sound horizon at recombination $r_s$ to convert angular measurements into angular-diameter distances, so fixing $r_s$ from CMB measurements already constrains $H_0.$ If departures from concordance cosmology are to be constrained, truly independent measurements of $H_0$ are needed. We use the angular-diameter distances to three time-delay lenses from the H0LiCOW collaboration to calibrate the distance ladder, combine them with relative distances from Supernovae Ia and BAO, leaving $r_s$ completely free, and provide the inferred coefficients ($q_{0},j_{0},s_{0}$) in the polynomial expansion of H(z). We obtain $H_{0}r_{s}=(9895\pm161)$km/s and $H_0=(72\pm7)$km/s/Mpc. Combined with $H_0$ from H0LiCOW, then $r_s=(137\pm4.5)$Mpc is consistent with previous work and systematically lower than the CMB-inferred value. Our results are independent of the adopted cosmology, and removing Supernovae with z<0.1 has a negligible effect.

description: The adsorption of highly \textit{oppositely} charged flexible polyelectrolytes (PEs) on a charged planar substrate is investigated by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. We study in detail the equilibrium structure of the first few PE layers. The influence of the chain length and of a (extra) non-electrostatic short range attraction between the polycations and the negatively charged substrate is considered. We show that the stability as well as the microstructure of the PE layers are especially sensitive to the strength of this latter interaction. Qualitative agreement is reached with some recent experiments.

 Cicindela obsoleta Say (1823: 143) Type destroyed, but identity well established.
 Cicindela prasina LeConte (1860: 31) Syntype male in MCZC, labeled with green disk, red and white label “Type 33”, and handwritten J. L. LeConte label “ C. prasina / Lec.”, MCZ type # 33 (examined).
 Diagnosis. A very large, uniformly green, black, or brown tiger beetle found in dry grasslands across the south-central United States. This subspecies usually lacks white or yellow markings but may have up to four small, round white or yellow maculae on each elytron (Kippenhan 1994).
 Notes. Say’s original published description refers to the black color morph of this subspecies while LeConte’s description of C. prasina refers to the green color morph. Both forms are found in populations of this species from the high plains of the central United States, although the black forms predominate towards the northern limits of the species’ range (Kippenhan 1994).

description: We study symmetry properties of quaternionic Kähler manifolds obtained by the HK/QK correspondence. To any Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of infinitesimal automorphisms of the initial hyper-Kähler data we associate a central extension of $\mathfrak{g}$, acting by infinitesimal automorphisms of the resulting quaternionic Kähler manifold. More specifically, we study the metrics obtained by the one-loop deformation of the $c$-map construction, proving that the Lie algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms of the initial projective special Kähler manifold gives rise to a Lie algebra of Killing fields of the corresponding one-loop deformed $c$-map space. As an application, we show that this construction increases the cohomogeneity of the automorphism groups by at most one. In particular, if the initial manifold is homogeneous then the one-loop deformed metric is of cohomogeneity at most one. As an example, we consider the one-loop deformation of the symmetric quaternionic Kähler metric on $SU(n,2)/S(U(n)\times U(2))$, which we prove is of cohomogeneity exactly one. This family generalizes the so-called universal hypermultiplet ($n=1$), for which we determine the full isometry group.

The formation history of the Galactic bulge

description: The distributions of the stellar metallicities of K giant stars in several fields of the Galactic bulge, taken from the literature are compared with a simple model of star formation and chemical evolution. Our model assumes a Schmidt law of star formation and is described by only a few parameters that control the infall and outflow of gas and the star formation efficiency. We find that very short infall timescales are needed, with durations of infall and star formation greater than 1 Gyr being ruled out at the 90% confidence level. The metallicity distributions are compatible with an important amount of gas and metals being ejected in outflows, although a detailed quantification of the ejected gas fraction is strongly dependent on a precise determination of the absolute stellar metallities. The recent bulge data from Zoccali et al. are also analyzed, and the subsample with subsolar metallicities still rules out infall timescales around 1 Gyr at the 90% confidence level. Hence, the short timescales we derive based on the observed distribution of metallicities are robust and should be taken as stringent constraints on bulge formation models.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004

description: We study the ground state solutions of the Dirac-Fock model in the case of weak electronic repulsion, using bifurcation theory. They are solutions of a min-max problem. Then we investigate a max-min problem coming from the electron-positron field theory of Bach-Barbaroux-Helffer-Siedentop. We show that given a radially symmetric nuclear charge, the ground state of Dirac-Fock solves this max-min problem for certain numbers of electrons. But we also exhibit a situation in which the max-min level does not correspond to a solution of the Dirac-Fock equations together with its associated self-consistent projector.
Gaze-Driven Adaptive Interventions for Magazine-Style Narrative Visualizations

description: In this paper we investigate the value of gaze-driven adaptive interventions to support processing of textual documents with embedded visualizations, i.e., Magazine Style Narrative Visualizations (MSNVs). These interventions are provided dynamically by highlighting relevant data points in the visualization when the user reads related sentences in the MNSV text, as detected by an eye-tracker. We conducted a user study during which participants read a set of MSNVs with our interventions, and compared their performance and experience with participants who received no interventions. Our work extends previous findings by showing that dynamic, gaze-driven interventions can be delivered based on reading behaviors in MSNVs, a widespread form of documents that have never been considered for gaze-driven adaptation so far. Next, we found that the interventions significantly improved the performance of users with low levels of visualization literacy, i.e., those users who need help the most due to their lower ability to process and understand data visualizations. However, high literacy users were not impacted by the interventions, providing initial evidence that gaze-driven interventions can be further improved by personalizing them to the levels of visualization literacy of their users.

Deflections in Magnet Fringe Fields

description: A transverse multipole expansion is derived, including the longitudinal components necessarily present in regions of varying magnetic field profile. It can be used for exact numerical orbit following through the fringe field regions of magnets whose end designs introduce no extraneous components, {\it i.e.} fields not required to be present by Maxwell's equations. Analytic evaluations of the deflections are obtained in various approximations. Mainly emphasized is a ``straight-line approximation'', in which particle orbits are treated as straight lines through the fringe field regions. This approximation leads to a readily-evaluated figure of merit, the ratio of r.m.s. end deflection to nominal body deflection, that can be used to determine whether or not a fringe field can be neglected. Deflections in ``critical'' cases (e.g. near intersection regions) are analysed in the same approximation.

Subsonic propellers in a strong wind as anomalous X-ray pulsars
Creators: name: Ikhsanov, N. R.
name: Choi, C. -S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The appearance of subsonic propellers situated in a strong wind is discussed. We show that it is similar to the appearance of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) provided the mass and the magnetic moment of neutron stars are 1.4 solar masses, and 2E+30 G cm^3, respectively, and the strength of the wind is M_c = 3E+17 g/s. Under these conditions, the spin periods of subsonic propellers are limited within the range of 5-15 s, and the expected spin-down rates are close to 7E-11 s/s. The mass accretion rate onto the stellar surface is limited to the rate of plasma penetration into its magnetosphere at the boundary. As this process is governed by the reconnection of the field lines, the accretion rate onto the stellar surface constitutes 1-2% of M_c. In this case the X-ray luminosity of the objects under consideration can be evaluated as 4E+35 erg/s. The model predicts the existence of at least two spatially separated sources of the X-ray emission: hot spots at the stellar surface, and the hot atmosphere surrounding the magnetosphere of the star. The ages of the subsonic propellers under the conditions of interest are limited to 10^5 yr.

Essays in applied microeconomics
Creators: name: Wokker, Chris
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: The four papers in this thesis contribute to four distinct strands of the applied economics literature. Chapter 1 considers whether the level of political competition in a postcode affects the incomes of the people who live there. Unlike previous research, I am able to exploit exogenous variation in electoral boundaries, and as such, exogenous variation in the level of political competition. I do not find a systematic relationship between a change in the political importance of an area - as measured by marginality - and the incomes of the people who live there. Chapter 2 explores whether rents from natural resources affect the sub-components of Political Rights or Civil Liberties, as measured by Freedom House. We find that higher resource rents cause a deterioration in Freedom House's measure of Political Pluralism and Participation, but other sub-components are unaffected. We demonstrate why our results extend upon and differ from those in the existing literature. Chapter 3 uses a random gambling prime to assess the malleability of stated risk and time preferences. The gambling prime causes respondents to self-assess as being more risk-averse, and less patient. These results are remarkably homogeneous across a range of demographic groups. There is also some evidence that, for the small number of respondents whose gambling behaviour may have been problematic in the past, the effect of the prime on risk preferences diminishes as their past gambling behaviour becomes riskier. This could indicate that primes of this nature have limited policy application. Chapter 4 describes, for the first time, the Multi-Agency Data Integration Project dataset. This dataset links medicare service use data to personal income tax and social security data, as well as data from the 2011 census. Of particular interest is the finding that a substantial number of people have stated on the census an income above the tax-free threshold, but do not appear in the personal income tax data. A related finding is that, contrary to our speculation, those with the lowest incomes according to the personal income tax data are the most likely to decline to state an income in the 2011 census.

description: We provide the first steps towards a flat space holographic correspondence in two bulk spacetime dimensions. The gravity side is described by a conformally transformed version of the matterless Callan-Giddings-Harvey-Strominger model. The field theory side follows from the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model in the limit of large specific heat and vanishing compressibility. We derive the boundary action analogous to the Schwarzian as the key link between gravity and field theory sides and show that it coincides with a geometric action discovered recently by one of us, see 1908.08089.

In this approach, finding the time evolution operator for the Schrödinger equation is reduced to solving an ordinary differential equation for a c-number vector which moves on a hyperboloid in a three-dimensional space. Cyclic solutions do not exist for all time intervals. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of cyclic solutions is given. There may exist some particular time interval in which all solutions with definite parity, or even all solutions, are cyclic. Criterions for the appearance of such cases are given. The known relation that the nonadiabatic geometric phase for a cyclic solution is proportional to the classical Hannay angle is reestablished. However, this is valid only for special cyclic solutions. For more general ones, the nonadiabatic geometric phase may contain an extra term. Several cases with relatively simple Hamiltonians are solved and discussed in detail. Cyclic solutions exist in most cases. The pattern of the motion, say, finite or infinite, can not be simply determined by the nature of the Hamiltonian (elliptic or hyperbolic, etc.). For a Hamiltonian with a definite nature, the motion can changes from one pattern to another, that is, some kind of phase transition may occur, if some parameter in the Hamiltonian goes through some critical value.

Dispersive and Absorptive CP Violation in $D^0- \overline{D^0}$ Mixing

description: CP violation (CPV) in $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing is described in terms of the dispersive and absorptive `weak phases' $ϕ_f^M$ and $ϕ_f^Γ$. They parametrize CPV originating from the interference of $D^0$ decays with and without dispersive mixing, and with and without absorptive mixing, respectively, for CP conjugate hadronic final states $f$, $\bar f$. These are distinct and separately measurable effects. For CP eigenstate final states, indirect CPV only depends on $ϕ_f^M$ (dispersive CPV), whereas $ϕ_f^Γ$ (absorptive CPV) can only be probed with non-CP eigenstate final states. Measurements of the final state dependent phases $ϕ_f^M$, $ϕ_f^Γ$ determine the intrinsic dispersive and absorptive mixing phases $ϕ_2^M$ and $ϕ_2^Γ$. The latter are the arguments of the dispersive and absorptive mixing amplitudes $M_{12}$ and $Γ_{12}$, relative to their dominant ($ΔU=2$) $U$-spin components. The intrinsic phases are experimentally accessible due to approximate universality: in the SM, and in extensions with negligible new CPV phases in Cabibbo favored/doubly Cabibbo suppressed (CF/DCS) decays, the deviation of $ϕ_f^{M,Γ}$ from $ϕ_2^{M,Γ}$ is negligible in CF/DCS decays $D^0 \to K^\pm X$, and below $10\% $ in CF/DCS decays $D^0 \to K_{S,L} X$ (up to precisely known $O(ε_K)$ corrections). In Singly Cabibbo Suppressed (SCS) decays, QCD pollution enters at $O(ε)$ in $U$-spin breaking and can be significant, but is $O(ε^2)$ in the average over $f=K^+K^-$, $π^+π^-$. SM estimates yield $ϕ_2^M, ϕ_2^Γ= O(0.2\%)$. A fit to current data allows $O(10)$ larger phases at $2σ$, from new physics. A fit based on naively extrapolated experimental precision suggests that sensitivity to $ϕ_2^{M}$ and $ϕ_2^Γ$ in the SM may be achieved at the LHCb Phase II upgrade.

description: We have used small-angle-neutron-scattering (SANS) and ac magnetic susceptibility to investigate the global magnetic field H vs temperature T phase diagram of a single crystal Nb in which a first-order transition of Bragg-glass melting (disordering), a peak effect, and surface superconductivity are all observable. It was found that the disappearance of the peak effect is directly related to a multicritical behavior in the Bragg-glass transition. Four characteristic phase boundary lines have been identified on the H-T plane: a first-order line at high fields, a mean-field-like continuous transition line at low fields, and two continuous transition line associated with the onset of surface and bulk superconductivity. All four lines are found to meet at a multicritical point.

description: Kelvin waves (kelvons)--the distortion waves on vortex lines--play a key part in the relaxation of superfluid turbulence at low temperatures. We present a weak-turbulence theory of kelvons. We show that non-trivial kinetics arises only beyond the local-induction approximation and is governed by three-kelvon collisions; corresponding kinetic equation is derived. On the basis of the kinetic equation, we prove the existence of Kolmogorov cascade and find its spectrum. The qualitative analysis is corroborated by numeric study of the kinetic equation. The application of the results to the theory of superfluid turbulence is discussed.

Global Discourse and Local Struggles in World Heritage Making: The Construction and Consequences of the Silk Roads as World Heritage in China
Creators: name: Xie, Jieyi
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: In 2014, the 'Silk Roads: The Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor' was inscribed on the World Heritage List. The Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the Silk Roads was determined to rest on the material and immaterial exchanges that had occurred for over 2,000 years among various Eurasian civilisations. Although there are written records and archaeological discoveries that support the long history of communications between different cultures, it was only in 1877 that the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen coined the term 'Silk Road(s)'. The thesis identifies the discourses that define the Silk Roads and examines how the 'Silk Roads' discourses have framed and influenced historical knowledge and perceptions about the UNESCO route. The research outlines how a particular understanding of the 'Silk Roads' discourse came to dominate and be authorised by UNESCO, despite the existence of alternative understandings and approaches to defining Eurasian exchanges. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is employed to examine the nomination dossier and other relevant UNESCO documents to reveal that the Silk Roads nomination for the World Heritage listing was framed by both the authorised heritage discourse (AHD) and a Han-Chinese dominant historical discourse. The Silk Roads as World Heritage was accordingly made to be a witness to the peaceful and romantic communication between the great Han-Chinese Han and Tang empires and other civilisations in the West. Ethnic groups such as the Uyghurs were relegated to secondary positions or obscured in the heritage narrative. The argument is supported through the triangulation of data drawing not only on CDA, but also on interview material and ethnographic studies of the World Heritage nomination practices and the impact of the Silk Roads World Heritagisation onto a local Uyghur community closely associated with one of the designated Silk Roads properties. Supported by discourse analysis and ethnographic inquiries, the dissertation challenges the OUV of the Silk Roads, and argues that the World Heritagisation was produced through a selective use of history. This selection was framed by the dynamic interaction of the AHD and the Han-Chinese historical discourse, the consequence of which has been to obscure Uyghur history and heritage.

description: Residential Immersive life skills (RILS) programs are unique programs for youth with disabilities. These programs enable youth to develop adaptive behaviors required to navigate adulthood. This study explored the emergence of emotional literacy development for youth who attended RILS programs. This study draws on twenty-five qualitative interviews that were conducted with nine youth who attended RILS programs. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, aligned to a phenomenological approach. The themes reflecting emotional literacy development in youth were: (1) Enhanced intrapersonal development; (2) Shifts in emotional regulation and emotional responses; (3) Realized potential and self-actualization. The opportunities and experiences offered in the RILS programs have the potential to facilitate emotional literacy development in youth with disabilities. The findings contribute towards the research evidence on the importance of emotional literacy development in young people with disabilities and the development and mobilization of evidence-based life skills programs.

description: We study the class of endlessly single-mode all-silica photonic crystal fibers with a triangular air-hole cladding. We consider the sensibility to longitudinal nonuniformities and the consequences and limitations for realizing low-loss large-mode area photonic crystal fibers. We also discuss the dominating scattering mechanism and experimentally we confirm that both macro and micro-bending can be the limiting factor.

description: While decreasing the oxide thickness in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) improves the turn-on behavior, we demonstrate that this also requires scaling the range of the drain voltage. This scaling is needed to avoid an exponential increase in Off-current with drain voltage, due to modulation of the Schottky barriers at both the source and drain contact. We illustrate this with results for bottom-gated ambipolar CNFETs with oxides of 2 and 5 nm, and give an explicit scaling rule for the drain voltage. Above the drain voltage limit, the Off-current becomes large and has equal electron and hole contributions. This allows the recently reported light emission from appropriately biased CNFETs.

description: Point-like motile topological defects control the universal dynamics of diverse two-dimensional active nematics ranging from shaken granular rods to cellular monolayers. A comparable understanding in higher dimensions has yet to emerge. We report the creation of three-dimensional active nematics by dispersing extensile microtubule bundles in a passive colloidal liquid crystal. Light-sheet microscopy reveals the millimeter-scale structure of active nematics with a single bundle resolution and the temporal evolution of the associated nematic director field. The dominant excitations of three-dimensional active nematics are extended charge-neutral disclination loops that undergo complex dynamics and recombination events. These studies introduce a new class of non-equilibrium systems whose turbulent-like dynamics arises from the interplay between internally generated active stresses, the chaotic flows and the topological structure of the constituent defects.
