description: This paper explores the development and evaluation of the video Observation Tool for Interprofessional Skills (VOTIS). We describe the development of an authentic interprofessional assessment tool that incorporates video reflection and allows formative and summative assessment of individual learners’ interprofessional skills within an authentic interprofessional context. We then investigate its validity and reliability. The VOTIS was developed using a modified Delphi technique. The tool was piloted with 61 students and 11 clinical educators who completed the VOTIS following team meetings where students interacted about their interprofessional clinical work. The following were calculated: internal consistency; students’ proficiency levels; inter-rater reliability between students and clinical educators; and inter-rater reliability between clinical educators and an independent rater. Results indicate that the VOTIS has acceptable internal consistency and moderate reliability and has value in evaluating students’ interprofessional skills. Study outcomes highlight the need for more explicit wording of tool content and instructions and further clinical educator training to increase the utility and reliability of the VOTIS as a learning and assessment tool.

description: The development of safe implants is one of the key priorities of biomedical engineering. Healthcare professionals are trying to create new and sophisticated strategies to improve and support people with disabilities using implants. The research described in this thesis focuses on developing a power supply from a wireless source for implants that will also serve as a wireless data telemetry channel for communication purposes. The design analysis of inductive coupled biomedical implant is expanded. The proposed method of powering the implant is a Class-E amplifier. An analytic approach is given in relation to tuning the class-E amplifier to maximize power transfer. This thesis culminates in specific recommendations for system level design including coil design, miniaturisation, coupling distance, stability of power supplies, consistent energy transfer and the ensuing electromagnetic exposure. The telemetry system for data transfer between implants and outside world has been also studied. This bio-telemetry system setup should ensure an optimal data rate, proper energy levels, low error rates, and a reliable power source. The efficiency of the system is crucial for these implants, and the use of efficient and low power consumption amplifiers and modulation schemes has been discussed in detail. The advantages of Pulse Width Modulated – Amplitude Shift Keying (PWM-ASK for short) are presented in comparison to current modulation schemes used in nowadays implants. Beside inductive coupled implants, this thesis also introduces a study of designing a wireless powered biomedical implant using capacitive coupling. A comparison between inductive and capacitive coupling is presented, while considering biotelemetry and power efficiency. A capacitive coupled biomedical implant is demonstrated through mathematical terms and simulations.

Supersymmetric localization: ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ theories on S$^2$ and AdS$_2$

description: Application of the supersymmetric localization method to theories on anti-de Sitter spacetime has received recent interest, yet still remains as a challenging problem. In this paper, we focus on (global) Euclidean AdS$_2$, on which we consider an Abelian ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ theory and implement localization computation to obtain the exact partition function. For comparison, we also revisit the theory on S$^2$ and perform a parallel computation. We refine the notion of equivariant supersymmetry and use appropriate functional integration measure. For AdS$_2$ we choose a supersymmetric boundary condition which is compatible with the principle of variation. To evaluate the 1-loop determinant about the localization saddle, we use index theory and fixed point formula, where we pay attention to the effect of zero modes and their superpartners. The existence of fermionic superpartner of 1-form boundary zero modes is proven. Obtaining the 1-loop determinant requires expansion of the index that presents an ambiguity, which we resolve using boundary condition. The resulting partition function reveals an overall dependence on the size of the background manifold, AdS$_2$ as well as S$^2$, as a sum of two types of contributions: a local one from local conformal anomaly through the index computation and a global one coming from zero modes. This overall size dependence is confirmed by the perturbative 1-loop evaluation using heat kernel method.

Commutative rings whose cotorsion modules are pure-injective

description: Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative). A left R-module is said to be cotorsion if Ext 1 R (G, M) = 0 for any flat R-module G. It is well known that each pure-injective left R-module is cotorsion, but the converse does not hold: for instance, if R is left perfect but not left pure-semisimple then each left R-module is cotorsion but there exist non-pure-injective left modules. The aim of this paper is to describe the class C of commutative rings R for which each cotorsion R-module is pure-injective. It is easy to see that C contains the class of von Neumann regular rings and the one of pure-semisimple rings. We prove that C is strictly contained in the class of locally pure-semisimple rings. We state that a commutative ring R belongs to C if and only if R verifies one of the following conditions: (1) R is coherent and each pure-essential extension of R-modules is essential; (2) R is coherent and each RD-essential extension of R-modules is essential; (3) any R-module M is pure-injective if and only if Ext 1 R (R/A, M) = 0 for each pure ideal A of R (Baer's criterion).

description: Over the last decade, multicore architectures have become omnipresent. Today, they are used in the whole product range from server systems to handheld computers. The deployed software still undergoes the slow transition from sequential to parallel. This transition, however, is gaining more and more momentum due to the increased availability of more sophisticated parallel programming environments, which replace the some-times crude results of ad-hoc parallelization. Combined with the ever increasing complexity of multicore architectures, this results in a scheduling problem that is different from what it has been, because features such as non-uniform memory access, shared caches, or simultaneous multithreading have to be considered. In this paper, we compare different ways of scheduling multiple parallel applications. Due to emerging parallel programming environments, we only consider malleable applications, i. e., applications where the parallelism degree can be changed on the fly. We propose a topology-aware scheduling scheme that combines equipartitioning and coscheduling. It does not suffer from the drawbacks of the individual concepts and also allows to run applications at different degrees of parallelisms without compromising fairness. We find that topology-awareness increases performance for all evaluated workloads. The combination with coscheduling is more sensitive towards the executed workloads. However, the gained versatility allows new use cases to be explored, which were not possible before.

description: Communication failure is a common root cause of adverse clinical events. Problematic communication domains are difficult to decipher, and communication improvement strategies are scarce. This study compared perioperative incident reports (IR) identifying potential communication failures with the results of a contemporaneous peri-operative Relational Coordination (RC) survey. We hypothesised that IR-prevalent themes would map to areas-of-weakness identified in the RC survey. Perioperative IRs filed between 2018 and 2020 (n = 6,236) were manually reviewed to identify communication failures (n = 1049). The IRs were disaggregated into seven RC theory domains and compared with the RC survey. Report disaggregation ratings demonstrated a three-way inter-rater agreement of 91.2%. Of the 1,049 communication failure-related IRs, shared knowledge deficits (n = 479, 46%) or accurate communication (n = 465, 44%) were most frequently identified. Communication frequency failures (n = 3, 0.3%) were rarely coded. Comparatively, shared knowledge was the weakest domain in the RC survey, while communication frequency was the strongest, correlating well with our IR data. Linking IR with RC domains offers a novel approach to assessing the specific elements of communication failures with an acute care facility. This approach provides a deployable mechanism to trend intra- and inter-domain progress in communication success, and develop targeted interventions to mitigate against communication failure-related adverse events.

description: We present a comprehensive study on discrete morphological symmetries of dynamical systems, which are commonly observed in biological and artificial locomoting systems, such as legged, swimming, and flying animals/robots/virtual characters. These symmetries arise from the presence of one or more planes/axis of symmetry in the system's morphology, resulting in harmonious duplication and distribution of body parts. Significantly, we characterize how morphological symmetries extend to symmetries in the system's dynamics, optimal control policies, and in all proprioceptive and exteroceptive measurements related to the system's dynamics evolution. In the context of data-driven methods, symmetry represents an inductive bias that justifies the use of data augmentation or symmetric function approximators. To tackle this, we present a theoretical and practical framework for identifying the system's morphological symmetry group $\G$ and characterizing the symmetries in proprioceptive and exteroceptive data measurements. We then exploit these symmetries using data augmentation and $\G$-equivariant neural networks. Our experiments on both synthetic and real-world applications provide empirical evidence of the advantageous outcomes resulting from the exploitation of these symmetries, including improved sample efficiency, enhanced generalization, and reduction of trainable parameters.

Kohn-Sham theory of rotating dipolar Fermi gas in two dimensions

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: A two-dimensional dipolar Fermi gas in harmonic trap under rotation is studied by solving "ab initio" Kohn-Sham equations. The physical parameters used match those of ultracold gas of fermionic $^{23}Na^{40}K$ molecules, a prototype system of strongly interacting dipolar quantum matter, which has been created very recently. We find that, as the critical rotational frequency is approached and the system collapses into the lowest Landau level, an array of tightly packed quantum vortices develops, in spite of the non-superfluid character of the system. In this state the system looses axial symmetry, and the fermionic cloud boundaries assume an almost perfect square shape. At higher values of the filling factor the vortex lattice disappears, while the system still exhibits square-shaped boundaries. At lower values of the filling factor the fermions become instead localized in a "Wigner cluster" structure.

description: The neutrino oscillations offer great potential for probing new physics effects beyond the Standard Model. Any additional effect on neutrino oscillations can help understand the nature of these non-standard effects. The violation of fundamental symmetries may appear as new physics effects in various neutrino experiments. Lorentz symmetry is one such fundamental symmetry in nature, the violation of which implies a breakdown of space-time symmetry. The Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) is intrinsic in nature and its effects exist even in a vacuum. Neutrinos can be an intriguing probe for exploring such violations of Lorentz symmetry. The effect of violation of Lorentz Invariance can be explored through the impact on the neutrino oscillation probabilities. The effect of LIV is treated as a perturbation to the standard neutrino Hamiltonian considering the Standard Model Extension (SME) framework. In this work, we have probed the effect of LIV on the neutrino oscillation measurements considering the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as a case study. The inclusion of LIV affects various neutrino oscillation parameters as it modifies the standard neutrino oscillation probabilities. We looked into the capability of DUNE in constraining the LIV parameters and then explored the impact of CPT-violating LIV terms on the mass-induced neutrino oscillation probabilities. We have also probed the influence of LIV parameters on the CP-measurement sensitivity at DUNE.

The young low-mass star ISO-Oph-50: Extreme variability induced by a clumpy, evolving circumstellar disk

description: ISO-Oph-50 is a young low-mass object in the ~Myr old Ophiuchus star forming region undergoing dramatic changes in its optical/near/mid-infrared brightness by 2-4 mag. We present new multi-band photometry and near-infrared spectra, combined with a synopsis of the existing literature data. Based on the spectroscopy, the source is confirmed as a mid M dwarf, with evidence for ongoing accretion. The near-infrared lightcurves show large-scale variations, with 2-4 mag amplitude in the bands IJHK, with the object generally being bluer when faint. Near its brightest state, the object shows colour changes consistent with variable extinction of dAV~7 mag. High-cadence monitoring at 3.6mu reveals quasi-periodic variations with a typical timescale of 1-2 weeks. The best explanation for these characteristics is a low-mass star seen through circumstellar matter, whose complex variability is caused by changing inhomogeneities in the inner parts of the disk. When faint, the direct stellar emission is blocked; the near-infrared radiation is dominated by scattered light. When bright, the emission is consistent with a photosphere strongly reddened by circumstellar dust. Based on the available constraints, the inhomogeneities have to be located at or beyond ~0.1 AU distance from the star. If this scenario turns out to be correct, a major portion of the inner disk has to be clumpy, structured, and/or in turmoil. In its observational characteristics, this object resembles other types of YSOs with variability caused in the inner disk. Compared to other objects, however, ISO-Oph-50 is clearly an extreme case, given the large amplitude of the brightness and colour changes combined with the erratic behaviour. ISO-Oph-50 has been near its brightest state since 2013; further monitoring is highly encouraged.

description: Three identical bosons or fermions are considered in the limit of zero-range interactions and finite effective range. By using a two channel model, we show that these systems are not integrable and that the wave function verifies specific continuity conditions at the contact of three particles. This last feature permits us to solve a contradiction brought by the contact model which can lead to an opposite result concerning the integrability issue. For fermions, the vicinity of integrability is characterized by large deviations with respect to the predictions of the Bethe ansatz.

description: We investigate the nucleosynthesis and kilonova properties of binary neutron-star (NS) merger models which lead to intermediate remnant lifetimes of ~0.1-1seconds until black-hole (BH) formation and describe all components of material ejected during the dynamical merger phase, NS-remnant evolution, and final viscous disintegration of the BH torus after gravitational collapse. To this end we employ a combination of hydrodynamics, nucleosynthesis, and radiative-transfer tools to achieve a consistent end-to-end modeling of the system and its observables. We adopt a novel version of the Shakura-Sunyaev scheme allowing to vary the approximate turbulent viscosity inside the NS remnant independently of the surrounding disk. We find that asymmetric progenitors lead to shorter remnant lifetimes and enhanced ejecta masses, although the viscosity affects the absolute values of these characteristics. The integrated production of lanthanides and heavier elements in such binary systems is sub-solar, suggesting that the considered scenarios contribute in a sub-dominant fashion to r-process enrichment. One reason is that BH-tori formed after delayed collapse exhibit less neutron-rich conditions than typically found, and often assumed in previous BH-torus models, for early BH formation. The outflows in our models feature strong anisotropy as a result of the lanthanide-poor polar neutrino-driven wind pushing aside lanthanide-rich dynamical ejecta. Considering the complexity of the models, the estimated kilonova light curves show promising agreement with AT2017gfo after times of several days, while the remaining inconsistencies at early times could possibly be overcome in binary configurations with a more dominant neutrino-driven wind relative to the dynamical ejecta.

Reliability of a Wearable Motion System for Clinical Evaluation of Dynamic Lumbar Spine Function
Creators: name: Hani, Hamed
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Electronic sensors

description: Background: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Subjective assessments are often used to assess extent of functional limitations and treatment response. However, these measures have poor sensitivity and are influenced by the patient’s perception of their condition. Currently, there are no objective tools to effectively assess the extent of an individual’s functional disability and inform clinical decision-making.
 Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of a wearable motion system based on Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors for use in quantifying low back function.
 Methods: Low back motion assessments were conducted by 3 novice raters on 20 participants using an IMU-based motion system. These assessments were conducted over 3 days with 2 days of rest in between tests. A total of 37 kinematic parameters were extracted from the low back motion assessment in all three anatomical planes. Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) calculated from repeated measures, mixed-effects regression models.
 Results: Lumbar spine-specific kinematic parameters showed moderate to excellent reliability across all kinematic parameters. The ICC values ranged between 0.84-0.93 for intra-rater reliability and 0.66 - 0.83 for inter-rater reliability. In particular, velocity measures showed higher reliabilities than other kinematic variables.
 Conclusion: The IMU-based wearable motion system is a valid and reliable tool to objectively assess low back function. This study demonstrated that lumbar spine-specific kinematic metrics have the potential to provide good, repeatable metrics to assess clinical function over time.

Imprint of inflation on galaxy shape correlations

description: We show that intrinsic (not lensing-induced) correlations between galaxy shapes offer a new probe of primordial non-Gaussianity and inflationary physics which is complementary to galaxy number counts. Specifically, intrinsic alignment correlations are sensitive to an anisotropic squeezed limit bispectrum of the primordial perturbations. Such a feature arises in solid inflation, as well as more broadly in the presence of light higher spin fields during inflation (as pointed out recently by Arkani-Hamed and Maldacena). We present a derivation of the all-sky two-point correlations of intrinsic shapes and number counts in the presence of non-Gaussianity with general angular dependence, and show that a quadrupolar (spin-2) anisotropy leads to the analog in galaxy shapes of the well-known scale-dependent bias induced in number counts by isotropic (spin-0) non-Gaussianity. Moreover, in presence of non-zero anisotropic non-Gaussianity, the quadrupole of galaxy shapes becomes sensitive to far superhorizon modes. These effects come about because long-wavelength modes induce a local anisotropy in the initial power spectrum, with which galaxies will correlate. We forecast that future imaging surveys could provide constraints on the amplitude of anisotropic non-Gaussianity that are comparable to those from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). These are complementary as they probe different physical scales. The constraints, however, depend on the sensitivity of galaxy shapes to the initial conditions which we only roughly estimate from observed tidal alignments.

Probabilistic Simplex Component Analysis by Importance Sampling

description: In this paper we consider the problem of linear unmixing hidden random variables defined over the simplex with additive Gaussian noise, also known as probabilistic simplex component analysis (PRISM). Previous solutions to tackle this challenging problem were based on geometrical approaches or computationally intensive variational methods. In contrast, we propose a conventional expectation maximization (EM) algorithm which embeds importance sampling. For this purpose, the proposal distribution is chosen as a simple surrogate distribution of the target posterior that is guaranteed to lie in the simplex. This distribution is based on the Gaussian linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) approximation which is accurate at high signal-to-noise ratio. Numerical experiments in different settings demonstrate the advantages of this adaptive surrogate over state-of-the-art methods.
