description: This article suggests new panel unit root tests that allow for multiple structural breaks and control for cross-correlations in the panel. Breaks are modeled with a Fourier function, which allows for smooth or gradual change rather than abrupt breaks. Cross-correlations are corrected by using the PANIC procedure. The simulations show that our tests have good size and power properties and perform reasonably well when the nature of breaks or the factor structure is unknown. The new panel unit root tests support fresh evidence on the persistence of healthcare expenditures in OECD countries.

description: We study the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions in the newly proposed quasi-parton distribution function framework in Euclidean space. A soft factor subtraction is found to be essential to make the TMDs calculable on lattice. We show that the quasi-TMDs with the associated soft factor subtraction can be applied in hard QCD scattering processes such as Drell-Yan lepton pair production in hadronic collisions. This allows future lattice calculations to provide information on the non-perturbative inputs and energy evolutions for the TMDs. Extension to the generalized parton distributions and quantum phase space Wigner distributions will lead to a complete nucleon tomography on lattice.

description: A weakly nonlinear spectrum and a strongly nonlinear spectrum coexist in a statistically steady state of elastic wave turbulence. The analytical representation of the nonlinear frequency is obtained by evaluating the extended self-nonlinear interactions. The {\em critical\/} wavenumbers at which the nonlinear frequencies are comparable with the linear frequencies agree with the {\em separation\/} wavenumbers between the weak and strong turbulence spectra. We also confirm the validity of our analytical representation of the separation wavenumbers through comparison with the results of direct numerical simulations by changing the material parameters of a vibrating plate.

description: Coherent thermal transport in nanopatterned structures is a topic of considerable interest, but whether it occurs in certain structures remains unclear due to poor understanding of which phonons conduct heat. Here, we perform the first fully three-dimensional, frequency-dependent simulations of thermal transport in nanomeshes by solving the Boltzmann transport equation with a novel, efficient Monte Carlo method. From the spectral information in our simulations, we show that thermal transport in nanostructures that can be created with available lithographic techniques is dominated by incoherent boundary scattering at room temperature. Our result provides important insights into the conditions required for coherent thermal transport to occur in artificial structures.

description: Capacity utilization and operating costs were analyzed for a sample of 90 gins representing about 19 percent of both total ginning capacity and total volume ginned in West Texas, the Lover Rio Grande Valley, and the Blacklands of Texas. Average ginning volumes were up in 1972. Compared to 1971, the 1972 weighted average total costs per bale were down 20 percent in West Texas, down 2 percent in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and down 8 percent in the Blacklands. Out-of-pocket costs per bale were lower in West Texas, higher In the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and lower in the Blacklands. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis reveals that volume ginned and investment in buildings and equipment are the most influential factors in determining annual gin operating costs.

Uncertainty

description: In this paper, simple methods are proposed for throughout determination of the individual contributions to the uncertainty budget. The power level uncertainty of the two carriers is considered individually and additional uncertainty contributors, namely the drift uncertainty and the connector repeatability, are evaluated. The uncertainty budgets calculated using these two methods are then compared with the uncertainty budget calculated using IEC 62037-1. It is found that the PIM level has a different dependency on each carrier power uncertainty, which results in different contributions from the two carriers to the uncertainty budget. Also, the drift uncertainty is identified as a significant contributor to the uncertainty budget.

This decay mode is more sensitive to the long-distance structure of the X(3872) resonance than its J/ψππand J/\psi3πdecays, which are mainly controlled by the details of the X(3872) wave function at short distances. We show that the D^0 \bar D^0 final state interaction can be important, and that a precise measurement of this partial decay width can provide valuable information on the interaction strength between the D^{(*)} \bar D^{(*)} charm mesons.

description: In 2019 a non-intrusive instrumentation of the NEMO code, aimed to give information about the MPI communications cost and structure of the model, was created by E. Maisonnave and S. Masson at the LOCEAN Laboratory, in Paris. The main goal was to identify which developments have to be prioritized for the model to enhance its scalability: a new NEMO configuration, called BENCH, was specifically developed for the purpose, offering some easy way to make performance measurements, and hoping to simplify future benchmark activities related to computing efficiency.
 In the first part of this work we study if this configuration can actually be used as a valid tool to get insight into NEMO’s performance, and then proceed to use the BENCH test to study some of NEMO’s most known bottlenecks: I/O and the north fold. Additionally we take the chance to investigate a topic that is gaining popularity among NEMO developers: the variability of time required to perform a timestep and how it influences NEMO’s performance, obtaining prescriptions on how to avoid or mitigate such behavior.

description: Effective WIMP models are minimal extensions of the standard model that explain the relic density of dark matter by the ``WIMP miracle.'' In this paper we consider the phenomenology of effective WIMPs with trilinear couplings to leptons and a new ``lepton partner'' particle. The observed relic abundance fixes the strength of the cubic coupling, so the parameters of the models are defined by the masses of the WIMP and lepton partner particles. This gives a simple parameter space where collider and direct detection experiments can be compared under well-defined physical minimality assumptions. The most sensitive collider probe is the search for leptons + MET, while the most sensitive direct detection channel is scattering from nuclei arising from loop diagrams. Collider and direct detection searches are highly complementary: colliders give the only meaningful constraint when dark matter is its own antiparticle, while direct detection is generally more sensitive if the dark matter is not its own antiparticle.

description: The Young's modulus $E$ is the key mechanical property that determines the resistance of solids to tension/compression. In the present work, the correlation of the quantity $E$ with such characteristics as the total molar mass $M$ of alloy components, the number of components $n$ forming an alloy, the yield stress $σ_{y}$ and the glass transition temperature $T_{g}$ has been studied in detail based on a large set of empirical data for the Young's modulus of different amorphous metal alloys. It has been established that the values of the Young's modulus of metal alloys under normal conditions correlate with such a mechanical characteristic as the yield stress as well as with the glass transition temperature. As found, the specificity of the ``chemical formula'' of alloy, which is determined by molar mass $M$ and number of components $n$, does not affect on elasticity of the material. The machine learning algorithm identified both the quantities $M$ and $n$ as insignificant factors in determining $E$. A simple non-linear regression model is obtained that relates the Young's modulus with $T_{g}$ and $σ_{y}$, and this model correctly reproduces the experimental data for metal alloys of different types. This obtained regression model generalizes the previously presented empirical relation $E\simeq49.8σ_{y}$ for amorphous metal alloys.

description: We present an experimental and theoretical study of modal nonlinear dynamics in a specially designed dual-mode semiconductor Fabry-Perot laser with a saturable absorber. At zero bias applied to the absorber section, we have found that with increasing device current, single mode self-pulsations evolve into a complex dynamical state where the total intensity experiences regular bursts of pulsations on a constant background. Spectrally resolved measurements reveal that in this state the individual modes of the device can follow highly symmetric but oppositely directed spiralling orbits. Using a generalization of the rate equation description of a semiconductor laser with saturable absorption to the multimode case, we show that these orbits appear as a consequence of the interplay between the material dispersion in the gain and absorber sections of the laser. Our results provide insights into the factors that determine the stability of multimode states in these systems, and they can inform the development of semiconductor mode-locked lasers with tailored spectra.

description: Researchers have constantly asked whether stock returns can be predicted by some macroeconomic data. However, it is known that macroeconomic data may exhibit nonstationarity and/or heavy tails, which complicates existing testing procedures for predictability. In this paper we propose novel empirical likelihood methods based on some weighted score equations to test whether the monthly CRSP value-weighted index can be predicted by the log dividend-price ratio or the log earnings-price ratio. The new methods work well both theoretically and empirically regardless of the predicting variables being stationary or nonstationary or having an infinite variance.

description: Performing exact inference on Bayesian networks is known to be #P-hard. Typically approximate inference techniques are used instead to sample from the distribution on query variables given the values $e$ of evidence variables. Classically, a single unbiased sample is obtained from a Bayesian network on $n$ variables with at most $m$ parents per node in time $\mathcal{O}(nmP(e)^{-1})$, depending critically on $P(e)$, the probability the evidence might occur in the first place. By implementing a quantum version of rejection sampling, we obtain a square-root speedup, taking $\mathcal{O}(n2^mP(e)^{-\frac12})$ time per sample. We exploit the Bayesian network's graph structure to efficiently construct a quantum state, a q-sample, representing the intended classical distribution, and also to efficiently apply amplitude amplification, the source of our speedup. Thus, our speedup is notable as it is unrelativized -- we count primitive operations and require no blackbox oracle queries.

description: Infection control is a critical component of healthcare, directly impacting patient outcomes and the safety of healthcare environments. This comprehensive critical review examines the pivotal role of nursing in infection control practices, emphasizing the evolution of nursing responsibilities, current practices, education, training, challenges, and technological advancements. Through an extensive review of literature, this study identifies key strategies employed by nurses to prevent and manage infections, highlighting successful case studies and evidence-based practices. The review also discusses the barriers nurses face, including systemic and individual challenges, and the need for ongoing education and training to adapt to emerging infection control methods and technologies. Key findings underscore the significant impact of nursing interventions on reducing infection rates and improving patient safety. This review aims to provide a deeper understanding of the complexities of infection control from a nursing perspective and to underscore the necessity for continuous improvement and innovation in this field. Future research directions are suggested to address existing gaps and further enhance the efficacy of nursing practices in infection control.

description: Two basic concepts of nuclear vorticity, hydrodynamical (HD) and Rawenthall-Wambach (RW), are critically inspected. As a test case, we consider the interplay of irrotational and vortical motion in isoscalar electric dipole E1(T=0) modes in $^{208}$Pb, namely the toroidal and compression modes. The modes are described in a self-consistent random-phase-approximation (RPA) with the Skyrme force SLy6. They are examined in terms of strength functions, transition densities, current fields, and formfactors. It is shown that the RW conception (suggesting the upper component of the nuclear current as the vorticity indicator) is not robust. The HD vorticity is not easily applicable either because the definition of a velocity field is too involved in nuclear systems. Instead, the vorticity is better characterized by the toroidal strength which closely corresponds to HD treatment and is approximately decoupled from the continuity equation.

description: Abstract: Embryonic stem (ES) cells can undergo many aspects of mammalian embryogenesis in vitro1–5, but their developmental potential is substantially extended by interactions with extraembryonic stem cells, including trophoblast stem (TS) cells, extraembryonic endoderm stem (XEN) cells and inducible XEN (iXEN) cells6–11. Here we assembled stem cell-derived embryos in vitro from mouse ES cells, TS cells and iXEN cells and showed that they recapitulate the development of whole natural mouse embryo in utero up to day 8.5 post-fertilization. Our embryo model displays headfolds with defined forebrain and midbrain regions and develops a beating heart-like structure, a trunk comprising a neural tube and somites, a tail bud containing neuromesodermal progenitors, a gut tube, and primordial germ cells. This complete embryo model develops within an extraembryonic yolk sac that initiates blood island development. Notably, we demonstrate that the neurulating embryo model assembled from Pax6-knockout ES cells aggregated with wild-type TS cells and iXEN cells recapitulates the ventral domain expansion of the neural tube that occurs in natural, ubiquitous Pax6-knockout embryos. Thus, these complete embryoids are a powerful in vitro model for dissecting the roles of diverse cell lineages and genes in development. Our results demonstrate the self-organization ability of ES cells and two types of extraembryonic stem cells to reconstitute mammalian development through and beyond gastrulation to neurulation and early organogenesis.

description: Analysis of income levels of occupants of housing served by the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) reveals that substandard housing is mainly occupied by the poor. Householders with less than $4,000 income in 1970 made up 28.6 percent of the FmHA area households, but occupied 61.6 percent of the housing without complete plumbing. Inadequate housing, however, is not entirely associated with low income. Householders with incomes of $10,000 or more occupied 6.9 percent of FmHA area housing without complete plumbing. White occupants are usually more adequately housed than minority races, regardless of income. For example, only 24 percent of rural white households with incomes below $4,000 occupied housing lacking complete plumbing. Comparable figures for black households were 73 percent and for other races, 52 percent. Of households with incomes above $8,000, 4 percent of the white, 31 percent of the black, and 11 percent of other races lived in houses without complete plumbing. Geographically, inadequate housing is located mainly in Southeastern States and other States with large minority populations.
title: Determination of Steels in Kentucky Bridges

description: The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) maintains over two hundred steel bridges constructed with types of steel which are unknown. Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) researchers have developed a procedure for determining steel tensile properties (0.2% yield strength and ultimate tensile strength) which can be used to help identify unknown steels. The procedure involves extracting small coupons from the lower flanges of steel deck girder bridges. Coupons are then machined into sub-sized tensile testing specimens and suitable shapes for chemical analyses. Sub-sized tensile tests returned values generally comparable to those provided in mill certifications of steels purchased for laboratory trials. Several analytical methods — X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and arc-spark optical emission spectrometry (OES) — were tested for accuracy against chemical analyses in the mill certifications. All of the methods proved capable of characterizing steel chemistries.

Researchers performed an in-depth review of all obtainable ASTM/AASHO/AASHTO standard structural steel specifications issued from 1900 through 2016. These were incorporated into a spreadsheet along with periodic revisions. Catalogued data include year of specification/revision issuance, material type, thickness, yield and tensile strengths, and steel chemistries (including 15 potential elements). This data set was incorporated into a database management program that can be used by agency officials to devise potential classifications based on ASTM/AASHO/AASHTO standard structural steel specifications.

For validation, coupons were extracted from two bridges with known (carbon) steel types and two bridges with unknown steels. Tensile tests were performed on sub-sized specimens cut from the coupons and 0.2% offset yield and ultimate tensile strengths were determined. Steel chemistries were analyzed using a laboratory XRF unit. The database management system was used to identify the known carbon steels (with slight modification made to the tensile values of one steel). The system also identified the two unknown steels as being high-strength, low-alloy types.

description: Consequences of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are being experienced differently across gender. Even though morbidity and mortality seem to be affecting predominantly men more than women, there are multiple drivers of vulnerability shaping how the disease and policy responses are impacting both health and other aspects of wellbeing differently. Sex and gender are two key determinants of direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 because they could be related to worse clinical outcomes, or create more social disparities, especially when other socio, economic or cultural determinants that intersect with gender (e.g. type of occupation, income, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation), are not being considered. The consequences of COVID-19 and policy responses, for Indigenous People, would have multiple intersections with gender as well, although seems under-investigated, that is why, we proposed this scoping review to explore: How is the academic and grey literature mainstreaming gender when reporting impacts, experiences, and responses to COVID-19 among Indigenous and marginalized communities?

Year: 2023

Attraverso complessi metodi numerici, un gruppo di scienziati ha dimostrato la plausibilità dell’esistenza, in un universo in perenne espansione, di due buchi neri statici non rotanti in equilibrio tra loro: la loro attrazione gravitazionale risulta essere compensata dall’espansione associata a una costante cosmologica. Secondo i ricercatori, la teoria potrebbe essere applicata anche a coppie di buchi neri rotanti

description: Only phase space is typically used to obtain final state particle spectra in rare decay searches, which is a crude approximation in the case of three body processes. We will demonstrate how both dynamics and phase space can be approximately accounted for, in processes such as nucleon decays $p \rightarrow e^+ \barν ν$ or $p \rightarrow μ^+ \barν ν$ originating from Grand Unification models, using general effective Fermi theory formalism of electroweak muon decay $μ\rightarrow e^+ \barν ν$. This approach allows for a more precise and only weakly model dependent approximation of final particle spectra for these and similar decays, which may improve rare process searches in current and near-future experiments.

description: The electronic structures of supercells of CeO$_{2-δ}$ have been calculated within the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The equilibrium properties such as lattice constants, bulk moduli and magnetic moments are well reproduced by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Electronic excitations are simulated by robust total energy calculations for constrained states with atomic core- or valence-holes. Pristine ceria CeO$_2$ is found to be a non-magnetic insulator with magnetism setting in as soon as oxygens are removed from the structure. In the ground state of defective ceria, the Ce-$f$ majority band resides near the Fermi level, but appears at about 2 eV below the Fermi level in photoemission spectroscopy experiments due to final state effects. We also tested our computational method by calculating threshold energies in Ce-M$_5$ and O-K x-ray absorption spectroscopy and comparing theoretical predictions with the corresponding measurements. Our result that $f$ electrons reside near the Fermi level in the ground state of oxygen deficient ceria is crucial for understanding catalytic properties of CeO$_2$ and related materials.

Publisher: name: Media Inaf
Year: 2023

Utilizzando la NirCam del James Webb Space Telescope, è stato possibile scoprire una corrente a getto ad alta velocità poco sopra l'equatore di Giove, al di sopra dei principali banchi di nubi. Il getto viaggia a 515 chilometri orari e si trova nella parte bassa della stratosfera di Giove, appena sopra le nebbie troposferiche, vicino al confine tra gli strati della troposfera e della stratosfera.
