description: To determine if body mass index (BMI), smoking status, prehabilitation or time to reconstruction are associated with recovery of self-reported knee function and activity after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Four electronic databases were systematically searched. English language articles were included if: (1) participants aged 16–70 years had primary or first revision ACLR with autograft, following complete rupture; and (2) the association between one of four modifiable factors: (1) BMI; (2) smoking; (3) prehabilitation; or (4) time to reconstruction with self-reported knee function and activity, ACL graft rupture or return to sport was evaluated. Twelve articles (representing 11 studies) were included. Meta-analyses found low-quality evidence of no difference in self-reported knee function (d = −0.07, 95% CI −0.37 to 0.23, I2 = 0%) or activity levels (d = 0.11, 95% CI −0.2 to 0.41, I2 = 0%) between acute and subacute ACLR. There was no difference in the relative risk of ACL graft rupture with the timing of ACLR (one study). Meta-analysis demonstrated very low-quality evidence that smokers had worse self-reported functional outcomes after ACLR compared to non-smokers (d = −0.58, 95% CI −0.788 to −0.28, I2 = 59%). One study suggested an inverse relationship between BMI and knee-related quality of life after ACLR. One RCT suggested prehabilitation may reduce time to return to sport. Low-quality evidence suggests there is no difference in delaying ACLR and very low-quality evidence suggests smokers have worse self-reported functional outcome after ACLR compared to non-smokers. High-quality RCTs are needed to confirm the relationship between the four modifiable factors studied and ACLR outcome.

description: To examine the kinematics of athletes with good and poor lumbopelvic stability (LPS) based on clinical rating criteria of single leg squat (SLS) and dip test (DT) The aim was to establish if good and poor LPS categorization is supported by differences in kinematic variables. Sixty-two recreational athletes had their LPS categorized using clinical rating criteria for SLS and DT as good, poor or neither good nor poor. Kinematic measures were examined in those with good (N = 8) or poor (N = 14) LPS and results compared to the rating criteria. Multiple clinical rating criteria for good and poor LPS groups were distinguished by kinematic measures. Smoothness of motion for both SLS and DT distinguished good and poor LPS. Minimal (good) or discernible movement (poor) out of the starting plane was confirmed with kinematic measures. For SLS these movements were: weight-bearing hip adduction, non-weightbearing hip abduction, pelvic rotation, and trunk sideflexion, and for DT: weightbearing hip adduction, non-weightbearing hip abduction and pelvic obliquity. Additionally, hip dissociation (SLS) distinguished good and poor LPS. Athletes with good and poor LPS have different kinematic measures in single leg squat and dip test. Multiple clinical rating criteria of LPS that distinguish good and poor stability were confirmed by kinematic measures.

description: In a recent paper we described a novel approach to the detection and parameter estimation of a non-Gaussian stochastic background of gravitational waves. In this work we propose an improved version of the detection procedure, preserving robustness against imperfect noise knowledge at no cost of detection performance: in the previous approach, the solution proposed to ensure robustness reduced the performances of the detection statistics, which in some cases (namely, mild non-Gaussianity) could be outperformed by Gaussian ones established in literature. We show, through a simple toy model, that the new detection statistic performs better than the previous one (and than the Gaussian statistic) everywhere in the parameter space. It approaches the optimal Neyman-Pearson statistics monotonically with increasing non-Gaussianity and/or number of detectors. In this study we discuss in detail its efficiency. This is a second, important step towards the implementation of a nearly--optimal detection procedure for a realistic non-Gaussian stochastic background. We discuss the relevance of results obtained in the context of the toy model used, and their importance for understanding a more realistic scenario.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in the Treatment of Gastric Adenocarcinomas
Creators: name: Feldman, James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. From 1974-1975,
patients who received gastric resection only had a 5-year survival rate of 15.3%.16 With the introduction
of chemoradiotherapy, the 5-year survival rate increased to 23.2% from 1995-2001.16 One question
which can be imposed is how necessary is neoadjuvant chemotherapy in addition to surgery compared
to surgery then adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in improvement of 5-year survivability of a gastric
adenocarcinoma.
Methods and Materials: 7 random control trials using neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 2 random control
trials using adjuvant chemoradiotherapy were examined using a network meta-analysis to determine
which was the more beneficial for 3-year, 5-year, and Overall Survival. Secondary outcome was to
determine which caused more life-altering side effects
Results: There was no statistical benefit found in the use of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy over the use of
neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The 5-year and Overall mortality were consistently higher in the adjuvant
chemoradiotherapy group, but the strength of data in the network meta-analysis was inconclusive.
Conclusion: Further study the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery in the treatment of gastric
adenocarcinomas in order to improve quality of life for the patients is recommended as well as further
study of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy to improve survivability.

description: The Lee-Wick Standard Model is a highly constrained model which solves the gauge hierarchy problem at the expense of including states with negative norm. It appears to be macroscopically causal and consistent. This model is extended by considering the two-Higgs doublet extension of the Lee-Wick model. Rewriting the Lagrangian using auxiliary fields introduces two additional doublets of Lee-Wick partners. The model is highly constrained, with only one or two additional parameters beyond that of the usual two-Higgs doublet model, and yet there are four doublets. Mass relations are established by diagonalizing the mass matrices and further constraints are established by studying results from B --> tau nu, neutral B-meson mixing, and B --> X_s gamma. The prospects of detecting evidence for this model at the LHC are discussed.

Cardiovascular Risk Associated with Male Testosterone Therapy
Creators: name: Pitts, Johnny
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background:
Testosterone therapy, also known as male hormone replacement therapy has commonly
been prescribed for older men since the 1950’s. Low testosterone (low T) in men has been linked
with elevated cardiovascular risk factors, cardiovascular events, and increased cardiovascular
mortality. However, in 2014 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning
regarding therapeutic testosterone use for age related hypogonadism or low T regarding
increased cardiovascular related events and stroke. Although studied extensively, providers
continue to disagree as to its safety and effectiveness especially considering this recent
recommendation. Therefore, the purpose of this clinical review is to discuss diagnosis and
treatment options for men with low T while evaluating systematic reviews analyzing
cardiovascular risk.
Unlike female menopause, male hypogonadism does not universally develop in men.
Low T, also known as hypogonadism or andropause, is associated with a lower quality of life
and is currently estimated to affect as many as 38-40% of men in their lifetime. To treat men for
andropause, Testosterone therapy (TTh) is prescribed in several different forms such as
intramuscular (IM) injections, topical creams, subcutaneous (SC) pellets, oral pills, and
transdermal patches. With sales projected to reach 3.2 billion by 2022, TTh is marketed to older
men to treat multiple symptoms including: 1) fatigue, 2) mood, 3) muscle mass, 4) strength, and
5) sexual dysfunction as well as prevention of worsening heart disease. But, in multiple reviews
the conclusion is that there is little benefit that outweighs the risks associated with TTh. These
risks include cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke as well as
prostatic hyperplasia, and cancer. With the widespread use of TTh, more definitive
determinations need to be made regarding the potential dangers of TTh.

description: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a well-known linear dimension-reduction technique designed for Euclidean data. In a wide spectrum of applied fields, however, it is common to observe multivariate circular data (also known as toroidal data), rendering spurious the use of PCA on it due to the periodicity of its support. This paper introduces Toroidal Ridge PCA (TR-PCA), a novel construction of PCA for bivariate circular data that leverages the concept of density ridges as a flexible first principal component analog. Two reference bivariate circular distributions, the bivariate sine von Mises and the bivariate wrapped Cauchy, are employed as the parametric distributional basis of TR-PCA. Efficient algorithms are presented to compute density ridges for these two distribution models. A complete PCA methodology adapted to toroidal data (including scores, variance decomposition, and resolution of edge cases) is introduced and implemented in the companion R package ridgetorus. The usefulness of TR-PCA is showcased with a novel case study involving the analysis of ocean currents on the coast of Santa Barbara.

Atrial Fibrillation: A Clinical Review and Comparison of Warfarin versus Dabigatran for Anticoagulation Therapy
Creators: name: Cowan, Richard
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF), or AFib, is the most commonly occurring type of cardiac
arrhythmia. AF is commonly referred to as an “irregularly irregular” rhythm and is defined
as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in which an irregular electrical impulse in the upper
chambers (atria) of the heart produces an uncoordinated depolarization and thus an inefficient
contraction of the atria. As a result, there is a reduction in cardiac output and potential for
pooling of blood in the atria which increases the risk of clot formation and mortality from a
cerebrovascular accident or pulmonary embolism. AFib is a public health concern that affects
up to 6 million people in the United States and is associated with more than 130,000 deaths
per year. It also costs the U.S. healthcare system nearly $6 billion per year. AF becomes
more prevalent with age, and with the steadily increasing elderly population worldwide,
prevention and treatment of this condition becomes more important clinically and
economically. Due to the immense burden on the healthcare system, there have been many
advances in surgical and pharmacological modalities for treatment AF, however long-term
anticoagulation therapy for prevention of thromboembolism has remained a guideline
recommended treatment for AF. The goal of this article is to review the clinical aspects of
atrial fibrillation including prevalence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment, with a
focus on comparing traditional anticoagulation therapy of Warfarin with the newer nonVitamin
K anti-coagulant Dabigatran (Pradaxa). This article will also serve to review
recently collected data from the VA Medical Center in regard to implementation of
anticoagulation guidelines in the management of non-valvular AFib.

description: Biometric data privacy is becoming a major concern for many organizations in the age of big data, particularly in the ICT sector, because it may be easily exploited in apps. Most apps utilize biometrics by accessing common application programming interfaces (APIs); hence, we aim to categorize their usage. The categorization based on behavior may be closely correlated with the sensitive processing of a user's biometric data, hence highlighting crucial biometric data privacy assessment concerns. We propose PABAU, Privacy Analysis of Biometric API Usage. PABAU learns semantic features of methods in biometric APIs and uses them to detect and categorize the usage of biometric API implementation in the software according to their privacy-related behaviors. This technique bridges the communication and background knowledge gap between technical and non-technical individuals in organizations by providing an automated method for both parties to acquire a rapid understanding of the essential behaviors of biometric API in apps, as well as future support to data protection officers (DPO) with legal documentation, such as conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

description: We present the amounts of information, fidelity, and reversibility obtained by arbitrary quantum measurements on completely unknown states. These quantities are expressed as functions of the singular values of a measurement operator corresponding to the obtained outcome. As an example, we consider a class of quantum measurements with highly degenerate singular values to discuss tradeoffs among information, fidelity, and reversibility. The tradeoffs are at the level of a single outcome, in the sense that the quantities pertain to each single outcome rather than the average over all possible outcomes.

description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been shown promising in improving the efficiency of learning communication policies by leveraging their permutation properties. Nonetheless, existing works design GNNs only for specific wireless policies, lacking a systematical approach for modeling graph and selecting structure. Based on the observation that the mismatched permutation property from the policies and the information loss during the update of hidden representations have large impact on the learning performance and efficiency, in this paper we propose a unified framework to learn permutable wireless policies with multidimensional GNNs. To avoid the information loss, the GNNs update the hidden representations of hyper-edges. To exploit all possible permutations of a policy, we provide a method to identify vertices in a graph. We also investigate the permutability of wireless channels that affects the sample efficiency, and show how to trade off the training, inference, and designing complexities of GNNs. We take precoding in different systems as examples to demonstrate how to apply the framework. Simulation results show that the proposed GNNs can achieve close performance to numerical algorithms, and require much fewer training samples and trainable parameters to achieve the same learning performance as the commonly used convolutional neural networks.

description: Building a quantum repeater network for long distance quantum communication requires photons and quantum registers that comprise qubits for interaction with light, good memory capabilities and processing qubits for storage and manipulation of photons. Here we demonstrate a key step, the coherent transfer of a photon in a single solid-state nuclear spin qubit with an average fidelity of 98% and storage over 10 seconds. The storage process is achieved by coherently transferring a photon to an entangled electron-nuclear spin state of a nitrogen vacancy centre in diamond, confirmed by heralding through high fidelity single-shot readout of the electronic spin states. Stored photon states are robust against repetitive optical writing operations, required for repeater nodes. The photon-electron spin interface and the nuclear spin memory demonstrated here constitutes a major step towards practical quantum networks, and surprisingly also paves the way towards a novel entangled photon source for photonic quantum computing.

description: Parametric model order reduction using reduced basis methods can be an effective tool for obtaining quickly solvable reduced order models of parametrized partial differential equation problems. With speedups that can reach several orders of magnitude, reduced basis methods enable high fidelity real-time simulations of complex systems and dramatically reduce the computational costs in many-query applications. In this contribution we analyze the methodology, mainly focussing on the theoretical aspects of the approach. In particular we discuss what is known about the convergence properties of these methods: when they succeed and when they are bound to fail. Moreover, we highlight some recent approaches employing nonlinear approximation techniques which aim to overcome the current limitations of reduced basis methods.

description: Traumatic Brain Injury is responsible for 30% of trauma related death and over 2.8 million visits
to the emergency room, hospitalizations, and deaths in 2010. Many survivors are left with
cognitive and motor deficits while others are left in a persistent vegetative state. Current
treatments have shown advancement over the past decade however TBI rates continue to rise
across the country. Recently stem cells have been tested and shown to have efficacy in many
diseases and genetic disorders. TBI clinical trials are moving into human trials and show promise
in both the acute and sub-acute time period. Research reports improvements in cognitive and
motor function after injection with Mesenchymal stem cells. These cells are harvested from bone
marrow and umbilical cord blood instead of fetal embryos. With the ability to differentiate in to
specialized cells they have the ability to repair and renew damaged tissue. Limitations in recently
published clinical trials show the need for more research in an exciting and rapidly expanding
field.

description: We derive composite pulse sequences that achieve high-fidelity excitation of two-state systems in an optically dense, inhomogeneously broadened ensemble. The composite pulses are resistant to distortions due to the back-action of the medium they propagate in and are able to create high-fidelity inversion to optical depths $αz>10$. They function well with smooth pulse shapes used for coherent control of optical atomic transitions in quantum computation and communication. They are an intermediary solution between single $π$-pulse excitation schemes and adiabatic passage schemes, being far more error tolerant than the former but still considerably faster than the latter.

description: In contemporary physics, especially in condensed matter physics, fermionic topological order and its protected edge modes are one of the most important objects. In this work, we propose a systematic construction of the cylinder partition corresponding to the fermionic fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) and a general mechanism for obtaining the candidates of the protected edge modes. In our construction, when the underlying conformal field theory has the $Z_{2}$ duality defects corresponding to the fermionic $Z_{2}$ electric particle, we show that the FQH partition function has a fermionic T duality. This duality is analogous to (hopefully the same as) the dualities in the dual resonance models, typically known as supersymmetry, and gives a renormalization group (RG) theoretic understanding of the topological phases. We also introduce a modern understanding of bulk topological degeneracies and topological entanglement entropy. This understanding is based on the traditional tunnel problem and the recent conjecture of correspondence between the bulk renormalization group flow and the boundary conformal field theory. Our formalism gives an intuitive and general understanding of the modern physics of the topologically ordered systems in the traditional language of RG and fermionization.

description: Phase-pure tantalum/zirconium oxide nitrides and nitrides were synthesized by the ammonolysis of amorphous oxide precursors. The nitrogen-rich oxide nitrides with variable anion composition and the nitride TaZrN3 crystallize in the cubic bixbyite-type structure (space group Ia3̅). The nitrogen content of these compounds has a significant influence on the cell parameters, the atomic positions, and the optical band gap. The results extend the already well-studied Ta–Zr–O–N system by new oxide nitrides in addition to the already known baddeleyite- and anosovite-type phases. TaZrN3 can be considered as a thermodynamically stable ternary variant of metastable Ta2N3.

Previous work demonstrates that listeners maintain intermediate representations over time. However, the internal structure of such representations—be they the acoustic-phonetic signal or more general information about the probability of possible categories—remains underspecified. We present two experiments using a novel speaker adaptation paradigm aimed at uncovering the format of speech representations. We exposed adult listeners (N=297) to a speaker whose utterances contained acoustically ambiguous information concerning phones/words and manipulated the temporal availability of disambiguating cues via visually presented text (i.e., presentation before or after each utterance). Results from a traditional phoneme categorization task showed that listeners adapt to a modified acoustic distribution when disambiguating text is provided before the audio, but not after. Results support the position that speech representations consist of activation over categories and are inconsistent with direct maintenance of the acoustic-phonetic signal.

description: This study aims to examine how extradyadic stress (stress that originates outside of the couple relationship) is linked to sexual activity in couples. With Dyadic Response Surface Analysis (DRSA; Schönbrodt et al., 2018) and a dataset of 368 mixed-gender couples, we aim to: (1) replicate the previously documented negative association between one person’s extradyadic stress and their own sexual activity (Bodenmann et al., 2010) in a dyadic sample and (2) explore if (mis)matching of extradyadic stress among partners can diminish the couple's sexual activity. In the case of matching, both partners experience similar stress levels, whereas, in mismatching, one partner experiences higher stress levels than the other. Further, in case of mismatching, we aim to (3) test whether men’s or women’s extradyadic stress is more influential on the couple's sexual activity, as some studies indicate that men and women might differ in the impact of their experienced stress on their sexuality (Bodenmann et al., 2007). In this addendum, we are preregistering an additional set of analyses to those outlined in our original preregistration.

description: A recent study [S. Yoshizawa {\it et al}., Nature Communications {\bf 12}, 1462 (2021)] reported the occurrence of field-resilient superconductivity, that is, enhancement of the in-plane critical magnetic field $H^{||}_{\rm c2}$ beyond the paramagnetic limiting field, in atomic-layer crystalline ($\sqrt{7}\times\sqrt{3}$)-In on a Si(111) substrate. The present article elucidates the origin of the observed field-resilient noncentrosymmetric superconductivity in this highly crystalline two-dimensional material. We develop the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity by incorporating the Fermi surface anisotropy together with an anisotropic spin splitting and texture specific to atomic-layer crystalline systems. In Si(111)-($\sqrt{7}\times\sqrt{3}$)-In, a typical material with a large antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling (ASOC), we show an example where the combination of the ASOC and disorder effect suppresses the paramagnetic depairing and can lead to an enhancement of $H^{||}_{\rm c2}$ compared to an isotropic system only when a magnetic field is applied in a particular direction due to an anisotropic spin texture. We also study the parity-mixing effect to demonstrate that the enhancement of $H^{||}_{\rm c2}$ is limited in the moderately clean regime because of the fragile $s$+$p$-wave pairing against nonmagnetic scattering in the case of the dominant odd-parity component of a pair wavefunction. Furthermore, from analysis of the transition line, we identify the field-resilience factor taking account of the scattering and suppression of paramagnetic effects and discuss the origin of the field-resilient superconductivity. Through fitting of the $H^{||}_{\rm c2}$ data, the normal-state electron scattering is discussed with a prime focus on the role of atomic steps on a Si(111) surface.

Triviality of the generalized Lau product associated to a Banach algebra homomorphism

description: Several papers have, as their raison d'etre, the exploration of the \emph{generalized Lau product} associated to a homomorphism $T:B\to A$ of Banach algebras. In this short note, we demonstrate that the generalized Lau product is isomorphic as a Banach algebra to the usual direct product $A\oplus B$. We also correct some misleading claims made about the relationship between this generalized Lau product, and an older construction of Monfared (Studia Mathematica, 2007).

Cyclic cocycles and quantized pairings in materials science

description: The pairings between the cyclic cohomologies and the K-theories of separable $C^\ast$-algebras supply topological invariants that often relate to physical response coefficients of materials. Using three numerical simulations, we exemplify how some of these invariants survive throughout the full Sobolev domains of the cocycles. These interesting phenomena, which can be explained by index theorems derived from Alain Connes' quantized calculus, are now well understood in the independent electron picture. Here, we review recent developments addressing the dynamics of correlated many-fermions systems, obtained in collaboration with Bram Mesland. They supply a complete characterization of an algebra of relevant derivations over the $C^\ast$-algebra of canonical anti-commutation relations indexed by a generic discrete Delone lattice. It is argued here that these results already supply the means to generate interesting and relevant states over this algebra of derivations and to identify the cyclic cocycles corresponding to the transport coefficients of the many-fermion systems. The existing index theorems for the pairings of these cocycles, in the restrictive single fermion setting, are reviewed and updated with an emphasis on pushing the analysis on Sobolev domains. An assessment of possible generalizations to the many-body setting is given.

description: In this paper we consider how the strong-coupling scale, or perturbative cutoff, in a multi-gravity theory depends upon the presence and structure of interactions between the different fields. This can elegantly be rephrased in terms of the size and structure of the `theory graph' which depicts the interactions in a given theory. We show that the question can be answered in terms of the properties of various graph-theoretical matrices, affording an efficient way to estimate and place bounds on the strong-coupling scale of a given theory. In light of this we also consider the problem of relating a given theory graph to a discretised higher dimensional theory, a la dimensional deconstruction.
