Overview

Ai arriba al planeta Hivern amb la intenció de que aquest s’aliï a la Federació Galàctica de mons habitats per éssers humans, l’Ekumen. Ai no podia preveure les dificultats que s’hi trobaria tot i que no és la primera vegada que contacten amb aquest món. L’habiten dues civilitzacions enfrontades i Ai haurà de trobar quina pot ser l’adequada per a la seva proposta. A més, es troba una singularitat entre els éssers que hi viuen, no són ni homes ni dones, són hermafrodites que en el període de Kemmer o zel adopten un sexe o l’altre. La mà esquerra de la foscor d’Ursula K. Le Guin tracta temes com la desigualtat de gènere, l’abús de poder, els interessos polítics i la manipulació mediàtica. També reflexiona sobre conceptes com el temps, les relacions i les condicions de supervivència. Le Guin aprofita al màxim els seus coneixements antropològics i filosòfics per escriure una obra que perdurarà en el temps.La mà esquerra de la foscor és un clàssic es miri com es miri: pel seu reconeixement, havent rebut els guardons Hugo i Nebula l’any 1970; i per la seva (re)definició de gènere. The Verge Classics, Laura JuneLa mà esquerra de la foscor no només va canviar la ciència-ficció—va canviar el feminisme, i va formar part del procés de canvi de concepte sobre què significava ser un home o una dona.

Comparison Between Self-Force and Post-Newtonian Dynamics: Beyond Circular Orbits

description: The gravitational self-force (GSF) and post-Newtonian (PN) schemes are complementary approximation methods for modelling the dynamics of compact binary systems. Comparison of their results in an overlapping domain of validity provides a crucial test for both methods, and can be used to enhance their accuracy, e.g. via the determination of previously unknown PN parameters. Here, for the first time, we extend such comparisons to noncircular orbits---specifically, to a system of two nonspinning objects in a bound (eccentric) orbit. To enable the comparison we use a certain orbital-averaged quantity $\langle U \rangle$ that generalizes Detweiler's redshift invariant. The functional relationship $\langle U \rangle(Ω_r,Ω_ϕ)$, where $Ω_r$ and $Ω_ϕ$ are the frequencies of the radial and azimuthal motions, is an invariant characteristic of the conservative dynamics. We compute $\langle U \rangle(Ω_r,Ω_ϕ)$ numerically through linear order in the mass ratio $q$, using a GSF code which is based on a frequency-domain treatment of the linearized Einstein equations in the Lorenz gauge. We also derive $\langle U \rangle(Ω_r,Ω_ϕ)$ analytically through 3PN order, for an arbitrary $q$, using the known near-zone 3PN metric and the generalized quasi-Keplerian representation of the motion. We demonstrate that the $\mathcal{O}(q)$ piece of the analytical PN prediction is perfectly consistent with the numerical GSF results, and we use the latter to estimate yet unknown pieces of the 4PN expression at $\mathcal{O}(q)$.

Pure Annihilation Type $B \to K_0^{*\pm}(1430)K^{(*)\mp}$ Decays in the Family Non-universal $Z^\prime$ Model

description: By assuming that the scalar meson $K_0^*(1430)$ belongs to the first excited states or the lowest lying ground states, we study the pure annihilation-type decays $B \to K_0^{*\pm}(1430)K^{(*)\mp}$ in the QCD factorization approach. Within the standard model, the branching fractions are at the order of $10^{-8}-10^{-7}$, which is possible to be measured in the ongoing LHCb experiment or forthcoming Belle-II experiment. We also study these decays in the family non-universal $Z^\prime$ model. The results show that if $m_{Z^\prime}\approx 600\mathrm{GeV}$ ($ζ=0.02$), both the branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetries of $\overline B^0\to K_0^{*+}(1430)K^-$ could be changed remarkably, which provides us a place for probing the effect of new physics. These results could be used to constrain the parameters of $Z^\prime$ model.

Solid waste management behavior among the student community: integrating environmental knowledge and situational factors into the theories of planned behavior and value belief norm

description: This research goes beyond the attitude-intention link to investigate the determinants of solid waste management behavior among the student community. The study proposes an extended model comprised of constructs from psychological frameworks, the theory of planned behavior and value-belief-norm theory by integrating environmental knowledge and situational factors as the intrinsic and extrinsic variables. A self-administered questionnaire method with a sample of 1,105 and structural equation modeling to test the statistical significance of the model revealed that our novel model includes a satisfactory level of prediction power, which is superior to existing theories. Findings show that intention, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and attitude had a significant positive influence on behavior. While biospheric and altruistic values showed positive relationships with belief, moral norms and environmental knowledge was found to be crucial in forming attitude. The results of this work could be used by governments, policymakers and researchers to design and implement effective waste management systems.

description: Micro-vibration, a ubiquitous nature phenomenon, can be seen as a characteristic feature on the objects, these vibrations always have tiny amplitudes which are much less than the wavelengths of the sensing systems, thus these motions information can only be reflected in the phase item of echo. Normally the conventional radar system can detect these micro vibrations through the time frequency analyzing, but these vibration characteristics can only be reflected by time-frequency spectrum, the spatial distribution of these micro vibrations can not be reconstructed precisely. Ghost imaging (GI), a novel imaging method also known as Coincidence Imaging that originated in the quantum and optical fields, can reconstruct unknown images using computational methods. To reconstruct the spatial distribution of micro vibrations, this paper proposes a new method based on a coincidence imaging system. A detailed model of target micro-vibration is created first, taking into account two categories: discrete and continuous targets. We use the first-order field correlation feature to obtain objective different micro vibration distribution based on the complex target models and time-frequency analysis in this work.

description: BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by over 1000 mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and presents with a widely variable phenotype. Genotype-phenotype studies identified CFTR mutations that were associated with pancreatic sufficiency (PS). Residual Cl- channel function was shown for selected PS mutations in heterologous cells. However, the functional consequences of most CFTR mutations in native epithelia are not well established.

METHODS: To elucidate the relationships between epithelial CFTR function, CFTR genotype, and patient phenotype, we measured cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated Cl- secretion in rectal biopsy specimens from 45 CF patients who had at least 1 non-DeltaF508 mutation carrying a wide spectrum of CFTR mutations. We compared CFTR genotypes and clinical manifestations of CF patients who expressed residual CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion with patients in whom Cl- secretion was absent.

RESULTS: Residual anion secretion was detected in 40% of CF patients, and was associated with later disease onset (P < 0.0001), higher frequency of PS (P < 0.0001), and less severe lung disease (P < 0.05). Clinical outcomes correlated with the magnitude of residual CFTR activity, which was in the range of approximately 12%-54% of controls.

CONCLUSIONS: Specific CFTR mutations confer residual CFTR function to rectal epithelia, which is related closely to a mild disease phenotype. Quantification of rectal CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion may be a sensitive test to predict the prognosis of CF disease and identify CF patients who would benefit from therapeutic strategies that would increase residual CFTR activity.

description: We investigate the response of a hot gas of quarks to external electric fields via leading-order perturbation theory. In particular, we discuss how equilibrium is maintained in the presence of the electric field and calculate the electric susceptibility, providing its high-temperature expansion for arbitrary quark mass. Furthermore, we point out that there is a mismatch between this, direct determination of the susceptibility at zero field and the weak-field expansion of the effective action at nonzero electric fields, as obtained using Schwinger's exact propagator. We discuss the origin of this mismatch and elaborate on the generalization of our results to full QCD in electric fields.

Control groups appropriate for behavioral interventions
Creators: name: Whitehead, William E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: AbstractThere are 4 sources of bias in clinical trials: investigator bias, patient expectation (placebo response), ascertainment bias (inadvertent selection of an unrepresentative sample), and nonspecific effects such as the normal waxing and waning of symptoms over time and the quality of the doctor-patient relationship. In drug trials, these biases are adequately controlled by comparing active to inert pills, randomly assigning subjects to treatments, blinding both the investigator and subject to group assignment, and testing subjects at multiple sites. However, there are special problems with conducting clinical trials of behavioral or psychological interventions that render these controls inadequate. It is impossible to blind the experimenter to which treatment is active, it is difficult to identify a control treatment that is inactive but just as credible to the subject, and doctor-patient relationship variables are more important than in drug trials. The inability to blind the experimenter can be circumvented by having an independent, blinded investigator assess the outcome, and doctor-patient effects can be controlled by using multiple, experienced therapists. The most difficult problem, identifying an appropriate control treatment, can be solved by adhering to 2 principles: the control treatment should be plausible, and it should not have a significant impact on the mechanism that is thought to explain the effectiveness of the investigational treatment. Investigators should confirm that these 2 goals have been achieved by monitoring expectation of benefit with a treatment credibility questionnaire, measuring changes in process variables (variables that reflect the presumed mechanism of treatment), and monitoring differential dropout rates.
The Franson experiment as an example of spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry

description: We describe an explicit statistical model of local hidden variables that reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics for the ideal Franson experiment and sheds light on the physical mechanisms that might be involved in the actual experiment. The crux of our model is the spontaneous breaking of the time-translation gauge symmetry by the hidden configurations of the pairs of photons locked in time and energy involved in the experiment, which acquire a non-zero geometric phase through certain cyclic transformations.

description: Extended sources of the stochastic gravitational backgrounds have been conventionally searched on the spherical harmonics bases. The analysis during the previous observing runs by the ground-based gravitational wave detectors, such LIGO and Virgo, have yielded the constraints on the angular power spectrum $C_\ell$, yet it lacks the capability of estimating model parameters. In this paper, we introduce an alternative Bayesian formalism to search for such stochastic signals with a particular distribution of anisotropies on the sky. This approach provides a Bayesian posterior of model parameters and also enables selection tests among different signal models. While the conventional analysis fixes the highest angular scale \textit{a priori}, here we show a more systematic and quantitative way to determine the cut-off scale based on a Bayes factor, which depends on the amplitude and the angular scale of observed signals. Also, we analyze the third observing runs of LIGO and Virgo for the population of milli-second pulsars and obtain the 95 % constrains of the signal amplitude, $ε< 2.7\times 10^{-8}$.

description: The homogeneity tests of odds ratios are used in clinical trials and epidemiological investigations as a preliminary step of meta-analysis. In recent studies, the severity or mortality of COVID-19 in relation to demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and other conditions has been popularly discussed by interpreting odds ratios and using meta-analysis. According to the homogeneity test results, a common odds ratio summarizes all of the odds ratios in a series of studies. If the aim is not to find a common odds ratio, but to find which of the sub-characteristics/groups is different from the others or is under risk, then the implementation of a multiple comparison procedure is required. In this article, the focus is placed on the accuracy and reliability of the homogeneity of odds ratio tests for multiple comparisons when the odds ratios are heterogeneous at the omnibus level. Three recently proposed multiple comparison tests and four homogeneity of odds ratios tests with six adjustment methods to control the type-I error rate are considered. The reliability and accuracy of the methods are discussed in relation to COVID-19 severity data associated with diabetes on a country-by-country basis, and a simulation study to assess the powers and type-I error rates of the tests is conducted.

Overview

Bunnakit, a coroner investigating a murder case, and Tan, the man who was his prime suspect—they have formed an unlikely alliance out of both necessity and passion. But though the two are drawn to each other, more danger awaits them than ever before, and each man has his own hidden motives. When the bodies start piling up, Bun and Tan must race to find the truth, all the while coming to terms with how they really feel about each other…Will their love survive this ultimate test?
Throughput Maximization for Two-way Relay Channels with Energy Harvesting Nodes: The Impact of Relaying Strategies

description: In this paper, we study the two-way relay channel with energy harvesting nodes. In particular, we find transmission policies that maximize the sum-throughput for two-way relay channels when the relay does not employ a data buffer. The relay can perform decode-and-forward, compress-and-forward, compute-and-forward or amplify-and-forward relaying. Furthermore, we consider throughput improvement by dynamically choosing relaying strategies, resulting in hybrid relaying strategies. We show that an iterative generalized directional water-filling algorithm solves the offline throughput maximization problem, with the achievable sum-rate from an individual or hybrid relaying scheme. In addition to the optimum offline policy, we obtain the optimum online policy via dynamic programming. We provide numerical results for each relaying scheme to support the analytic findings, pointing out to the advantage of adapting the instantaneous relaying strategy to the available harvested energy.

Statistics about the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and resource utilization of digestive and liver diseases in the United States may be cumbersome to obtain because they are scattered in multiple sources. These data may be useful for policy makers, grant applicants, and authors. : Data on the most common gastrointestinal and liver diseases were collected from large publicly available national databases. Information was collected on inpatient and outpatient gastrointestinal complaints and diagnoses, gastrointestinal cancers, and deaths from common liver diseases. : The leading gastrointestinal complaint prompting an outpatient visit is abdominal pain, with 12.2 million annual visits, followed by diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Abdominal pain is the leading outpatient gastrointestinal diagnosis, accounting for 5.2 million visits annually, followed by gastroesophageal reflux disease, with 4.5 million visits. Gallstone disease is the most common inpatient diagnosis, with 262,411 hospitalizations and a median inpatient charge of $11,584. Colorectal cancer is the most common gastrointestinal cause of death and is the most common gastrointestinal cancer, with an incidence of 54 per 100,000. Among gastrointestinal cancers, primary liver cancer had the highest increase in incidence from 1992 to 2000. : Gastrointestinal and liver diseases are associated with significant outpatient and inpatient healthcare utilization. Following trends in utilization is important for determining allocation of resources for health care and research.

Overview

Au temps du Roi-Soleil, avoir sa femme dans le lit du monarque était pour les nobles une source de privilèges inépuisable. Le jour où Louis XIV jeta son dévolu sur Mme de Montespan, chacun, à Versailles, félicita le mari de sa bonne fortune. C'était mal connaître Louis-Henri de Pardaillan, marquis de Montespan... Gascon fiévreux et passionnément amoureux de son épouse, Louis-Henri prit très mal la chose. Dès qu'il eut connaissance de son infortune, il orna son carrosse de cornes gigantesques et entreprit de mener une guerre impitoyable contre l'homme qui profanait une union si parfaite. Refusant les honneurs et les prébendes, indifférent aux menaces répétées, aux procès en tous genres, emprisonnements, ruine ou tentatives d'assassinat, il poursuivit de sa haine l'homme le plus puissant de la planète pour tenter de récupérer sa femme...
Parameter estimation of superdiffusive motion of energetic particles upstream of heliospheric shocks

description: In-situ spacecraft observations recently suggested that the transport of energetic particles accelerated at heliospheric shocks can be anomalous, i.e. the mean square displacement can grow non-linearly in time. In particular, a new analysis technique has permitted the study of particle transport properties from energetic particle time profiles upstream of interplanetary shocks. Indeed, the time/spatial power laws of the differential intensity upstream of several shocks are indicative of superdiffusion. A complete determination of the key parameters of superdiffusive transport comprises the power-law index, the superdiffusion coefficient, the related transition scale at which the energetic particle profiles turn to decay as power laws, and the energy spectral index of the shock accelerated particles. Assuming large-scale spatial homogeneity of the background plasma, the power-law behaviour can been derived from both a (microscopic) propagator formalism and a (macroscopic) fractional transport equation. We compare the two approaches and find a relation between the diffusion coefficients used in the two formalisms. Based on the assumption of superdiffusive transport, we quantitatively derive these parameters by studying energetic particle profiles observed by the Ulysses and Voyager 2 spacecraft upstream of shocks in the heliosphere, for which a superdiffusive particle transport has previously been observed. Further, we have jointly studied the electron energy spectra, comparing the values of the spectral indices observed with those predicted by the standard diffusive shock acceleration theory and by a model based on superdiffusive transport. For a number of interplanetary shocks and for the solar wind termination shock, for the first time we obtain the anomalous diffusion constants and the scale at which the probability of particle free paths changes to a power-law...

description: We show that the most general scalar-tensor theory of gravity up to four derivatives in $3+1$ dimensions is well-posed in a modified version of the CCZ4 formulation of the Einstein equations in singularity-avoiding coordinates. We demonstrate the robustness of our new formulation in practise by studying equal mass black hole binary mergers for different values of the coupling constants. Although our analysis of well-posedness is restricted to cases in which the couplings are small, we find that in simulations we are able to push the couplings to larger values, so that a certain weak coupling condition is order one, without instabilities developing. Our work provides the means for such simulations to be undertaken by the many numerical relativity codes that rely on the moving puncture gauge to evolve black hole singularities.

description: Hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) and variable kinetic energy x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (VKE-XPS) analyses have been performed on 10 unit cell La$_{(1-δ)}$Al$_{(1+δ)}$O$_3$ films, with La:Al ratios of 1.1, 1.0, and 0.9, deposited on SrTiO$_3$. Of the three films, only the Al-rich film was known to have a conductive interface. VKE-XPS, coupled with maximum entropy analysis, shows significant differences in the compositional depth profile between the Al-rich, the La-rich, and stoichiometric films; significant La enrichment at the interface is observed in the La-rich and stoichiometric films, while the Al-rich shows little to no intermixing. Additionally, the La-rich and stoichiometric films show a high concentration of Al at the surface, which is not observed in the Al-rich film. HAXPES valence band (VB) analysis shows a broadening of the VB for the Al-rich sample relative to the stoichiometric and La-rich samples, which have insulating interfaces. This broadening is consistent with an electric field across the Al-rich film. These results are consistent with a defect driven electronic reconstruction.

description: In this paper, a unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) with simplified multi-scale numerical flux is proposed for the thermodynamic non-equilibrium flow simulation involving the excitation of molecular vibrational degrees of freedom in all flow regimes. The present UGKS keep the basic conservation laws of the macroscopic flow variables and the microscopic gas distribution function in a discretized space. In order to improve the efficiency of the UGKS, a simplify multi-scale numerical flux is directly constructed from the characteristic difference solution of the kinetic model equation. In addition, a new BGK-type kinetic model for diatomic gases is proposed to describe the high-temperature thermodynamic non-equilibrium effect, which is a phenomenological relaxation model with the continuous distribution modes of rotational and vibrational energies. In present model, the equilibrium distribution functions is constructed by using a multi-dimensional Hermitian expansion around the Maxwellian distribution to achieve the correct Prandtl number and proper relaxation rate of heat fluxes. Furthermore, the application of the unstructured discrete velocity space (DVS) and a simple integration error correction reduce the number of velocity mesh significantly and make the present method be a efficient tool for simulations of flows in all flow regimes. The new scheme are examined in a series of cases, such as Sod's shock tube, high non-equilibrium shock structure, hypersonic flow around a circular cylinder with Knudsen (Kn) number Kn = 0.01, and the rarefied hypersonic flow over a flat plate with a sharp leading edge. The present UGKS results agree well with the benchmark data of DSMC and the other validated methods.

description: Face recognition is a prevailing authentication solution in numerous biometric applications. Physical adversarial attacks, as an important surrogate, can identify the weaknesses of face recognition systems and evaluate their robustness before deployed. However, most existing physical attacks are either detectable readily or ineffective against commercial recognition systems. The goal of this work is to develop a more reliable technique that can carry out an end-to-end evaluation of adversarial robustness for commercial systems. It requires that this technique can simultaneously deceive black-box recognition models and evade defensive mechanisms. To fulfill this, we design adversarial textured 3D meshes (AT3D) with an elaborate topology on a human face, which can be 3D-printed and pasted on the attacker's face to evade the defenses. However, the mesh-based optimization regime calculates gradients in high-dimensional mesh space, and can be trapped into local optima with unsatisfactory transferability. To deviate from the mesh-based space, we propose to perturb the low-dimensional coefficient space based on 3D Morphable Model, which significantly improves black-box transferability meanwhile enjoying faster search efficiency and better visual quality. Extensive experiments in digital and physical scenarios show that our method effectively explores the security vulnerabilities of multiple popular commercial services, including three recognition APIs, four anti-spoofing APIs, two prevailing mobile phones and two automated access control systems.

description: AbstractBackground & Aims: Colorectal tumors manifesting high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) develop genetically as a consequence of mutations in genes harboring repetitive DNA sequences. The activin type 2 receptor (ACVR2), possessing 2 polyadenine coding sequences, was identified as a mutational target, but it is not clear if expression is abrogated. Here, we analyzed MSI-H colorectal cancers for ACVR2 mutation and expression to assess if biallelic inactivation occurs. Methods: All 54 MSI-H colon cancers and 20 random microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors from a population-based cohort of 503 patients were analyzed for mutations in 2 A8 tracts (exon 3 and 10) of ACVR2 and the A10 tract of transforming growth factor β receptor 2 (TGFBR2). Additionally, we sequenced exon 10 of ACVR2 in select cancers. ACVR2 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry using an antibody targeting an epitope beyond the predicted truncated protein. Results: Forty-five of 54 MSI-H cancers (83%) showed mutation (A8 to A7) in the polyadenine tract of exon 10 compared with no MSS tumors. Of tumors with mutant ACVR2, 62% lacked protein expression but all MSS and MSI-H tumors with wild-type ACVR2 expressed protein. We found no evidence of loss of heterozygosity at the ACVR2 locus in MSS tumors. Comparatively, 69% of MSI-H cancers had frameshift mutation in TGFBR2. Conclusions: ACVR2 mutations are highly frequent in MSI-H colon cancers and in most cases cause loss of ACVR2 expression, indicating biallelic inactivation of the gene. Loss of activin signaling through mutation of ACVR2, similar to observations with TGFBR2, may be important in the genesis of MSI-H colorectal cancer.

description: Scholars have been interested in the politicization of humans rights within the United Nations for some time. However, previous research typically looks at simple associations between voting coalitions and observable variables, such as geographic location or membership in international organizations. Our study is the first attempt at estimating the latent coalition structure based on the voting data. We propose a Bayesian Dynamic Dirichlet Process Mixture (DDPM) model to identify voting coalitions based on roll call vote data across multiple time periods. We also propose post-processing methods for analyzing the outputs of the DDPM model. We apply these methods to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) human rights roll call vote data from 1992 to 2017. We identify human rights voting coalitions in the UNGA after the Cold War, and polarizing resolutions that divide countries into different coalitions.

The unreasonable effectiveness of Nonstandard Analysis

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: As suggested by the title, the aim of this paper is to uncover the vast computational content of classical Nonstandard Analysis. To this end, we formulate a template $\mathfrak{CI}$ which converts a theorem of 'pure' Nonstandard Analysis, i.e. formulated solely with the nonstandard definitions (of continuity, integration, differentiability, convergence, compactness, et cetera), into the associated effective theorem. The latter constitutes a theorem of computable mathematics no longer involving Nonstandard Analysis. To establish the vast scope of $\mathfrak{CI}$, we apply this template to representative theorems from the Big Five categories from Reverse Mathematics. The latter foundational program provides a classification of the majority of theorems from 'ordinary', that is non-set theoretical, mathematics into the aforementioned five categories. The Reverse Mathematics zoo gathers exceptions to this classification, and is studied in [70,71] using $\mathfrak{CI}$. Hence, the template $\mathfrak{CI}$ is seen to apply to essentially all of ordinary mathematics, thanks to the Big Five classification (and associated zoo) from Reverse Mathematics. Finally, we establish that certain 'highly constructive' theorems, called Herbrandisations, imply the original theorem of Nonstandard Analysis from which they were obtained via $\mathfrak{CI}$.
