description: This study investigated a remote symptom monitoring intervention to examine if older participants with cancer received a similar magnitude of benefit compared with younger adults with cancer. We analyzed a longitudinal symptom monitoring intervention for 358 participants beginning a new course of chemotherapy treatment in community and academic oncology practices. The study design was a randomized control trial; participants were randomized to the intervention or usual care, the intervention was delivered during daily automated coaching. Older adults with moderate and severe symptoms derived similar benefit as those adults younger than 60 years of age, adherence to the study protocol which involved daily calls was high. There was no significant difference between the 2 age categories; on average, older adult participants made 88% of expected daily calls and younger adult participants made 90% of expected daily calls. Our results challenge the perception that older adults are unwilling or unable to use a technological tool such as interactive voice response and suggest that patient utilization may be guided by other factors, such as ease of use and perceived benefit from the intervention.

description: We theoretically show that buckled two-dimensional graphene-like materials (silicene and germanene) subjected to a femtosecond strong optical pulse can be controlled by the optical field component normal to their plane. In such strong fields, these materials are predicted to exhibit non-reciprocal reflection, optical rectification and generation of electric currents both parallel and normal to the in-plane field direction. Reversibility of the conduction band population is also field- and carrier-envelope phase controllable. There is a net charge transfer along the material plane that is also dependent on the normal field component. Thus a graphene-like buckled material behaves analogously to a field-effect transistor controlled and driven by the electric field of light with subcycle (femtosecond) speed.

description: Omics-based technologies are driving major advances in precision medicine, but efforts are still required to consolidate their use in drug discovery. In this work, we exemplify the use of multi-omics to support the development of 3-chloropiperidines, a new class of candidate anticancer agents. Combined analyses of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility elucidated the mechanisms underlying sensitivity to test agents. Furthermore, we implemented a new versatile strategy for the integration of RNA- and ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin) data, able to accelerate and extend the standalone analyses of distinct omic layers. This platform guided the construction of a perturbation-informed basal signature predicting cancer cell lines' sensitivity and to further direct compound development against specific tumor types. Overall, this approach offers a scalable pipeline to support the early phases of drug discovery, understanding of mechanisms, and potentially inform the positioning of therapeutics in the clinic.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έγινε σχεδιασμός και προσομοίωση, βάσει τεχνικών μοντελοποίησης, ενός συστήματος ηλιακής παρακολούθησης για Φωτοβολταϊκά Συστήματα. Αυτό το πλήρως αυτόματο σύστημα ανιχνεύει τη θέση του ήλιου ανεξάρτητα από το αν ο ήλιος είναι ορατός ή όχι και έχει την ικανότητα περιστροφής στον άξονα Χ και στον άξονα Υ. Εάν ο ήλιος είναι ορατός, η θέση του ανιχνεύεται από αισθητήρες φωτός και εάν δεν είναι ορατός, η θέση του ανιχνεύεται από τις εξισώσεις του ήλιου που υπολογίζουν τη θέση του στον ουρανό. Το σύστημα προσομοιώθηκε στο Simulink και δημιουργήθηκαν κατάλληλα δομικά στοιχεία διαγράμματα για την επιτυχή προσομοίωση. Οι αισθητήρες φωτός αποτελούνται από εξαιρετικά ευαίσθητες φωτοδιόδους. Το σύστημα ελέγχεται με τη βοήθεια της πλατφόρμας Arduino MEGA 2560 και συγκεκριμένα με τον μικροελεγκτή ATmega2560 της AVR. Ένα άλλο χαρακτηριστικό της υλοποίησης αυτού του συστήματος είναι ότι μπορεί να αναπτυχθεί και να λειτουργήσει χωρίς να υπάρχει κάποιος περιορισμός στα γεωμορφολογικά στοιχεία του τόπου που θα τοποθετηθεί. Επίσης υπάρχει ένα εκτεταμένο φάσμα υποστήριξης μικροελεγκτή και λογισμικού καθώς υπάρχει η ευχέρεια της συνεργασίας του συστήματος με το MATLAB/Simulink το οποίο μπορεί να παράγει αυτόματο κώδικα σε γλώσσα C. Τέλος, ένα άλλο χαρακτηριστικό του συστήματος είναι ότι η πληροφορία της ώρας που απαιτείται για τον υπολογισμό της θέσης του ήλιου μέσο των εξισώσεων προέρχεται από ένα πραγματικό ρολόι (το οποίο μπορεί να ρυθμιστεί από τον χρήστη ανάλογα με τις αλλαγές της ώρας).

Η πιστωτική ανάλυση περιλαμβάνει το μέτρο για τη διερεύνηση της πιθανότητας του αιτούντος να αποπληρώσει έγκαιρα το δάνειο και να προβλέψει την αθέτηση ή αδυναμία αποπληρωμής του. Υπάρχουν δύο βασικοί κίνδυνοι, η απώλεια πιθανών εσόδων που προκύπτει από την μη έγκριση ενός καλού υποψηφίου ή από την απόρριψη πολλών καθώς και η οικονομική ζημία που προκύπτει από την έγκριση ενός υποψηφίου που καταλήγει να μην αποπληρώσει το δάνειο. Οι μέθοδοι μηχανικής μάθησης έχουν αναπτυχθεί και εφαρμοστεί με επιτυχία σε αυτόν τον τομέα για να προβλέψουν την πιθανότητα πρόκλησης πιστωτικού προβλήματος από τους δανειολήπτες. Στην εργασία μας θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε τρεις μεθόδους, τα Τεχνητά Νευρωνικά Δίκτυα (Artificial Networks), τα Support Vector Machines (SVM) και τα Random Forests. Με τη βοήθεια αυτών των αλγορίθμων θα εκπαιδεύσουμε ένα σύνολο δεδομένων (dataset) το οποίο περιλαμβάνει πληροφορίες για τους δανειολήπτες και το αν έχουν ανταποκριθεί στις πληρωμές των πιστώσεών τους. Αυτός ο τρόπος πρόβλεψης πιστωτικού κινδύνου μπορεί να παρέχει σημαντική πληροφορία για την απόδοση των δανείων και τη δυνατότητα πληρωμής των δανειοληπτών.

description: The aim of this article is to address how conceptualizations of addiction shape the lived experiences of people who use drugs (PWUDs) during the current opioid epidemic. Using a discourse analytic approach, we examine interview transcripts from 27 PWUDs in rural Appalachian Ohio. We investigate the ways in which participants talk about their substance use, what these linguistic choices reveal about their conceptions of self and other PWUDs, and how participants’ discursive caches might be constrained by or defined within broader social discourses. We highlight three subject positions enacted by participants during the interviews: addict as victim of circumstance, addict as good Samaritan, and addict as motivated for change. We argue participants leverage these positions to contrast themselves with a reified addict-other whose identity carries socially ascribed characteristics of being blameworthy, immoral, callous, and complicit. We implicate these processes in the perpetuation of intragroup stigma and discuss implications for intervention.

The former are strictly isospectral to the initial potential, whereas the latter are only quasi-isospectral. Both are associated to new families of orthogonal polynomials, which, in the first case, depend on a continuous parameter. We also prove that these extended potentials possess an enlarged shape invariance property.

description: Bordering the wealthy town of Apex, North Carolina, is a majority African-American neighborhood, Irongate Drive, without town water service, relying on private wells. Residents have long sought access to town water as their wells are running dry, but problems have not been systematically documented. Using a comprehensive survey and qualitative interviews, this study assesses the frequency of water shortages, uncovers the effects on daily lives, and reports on water source preferences. Surveys showed 80 percent of households experience water scarcity. Respondents reported not having enough water to flush toilets, shower, wash hands, or do laundry. Annual well maintenance costs averaged $1405; additional costs included dealing with water shortage and buying additional items to cope. More than 75 percent actively seek municipal water, and none oppose it. These results could inform assessments of impacts of water access disparities in similar peri-urban minority communities nationwide that remain excluded from nearby municipal services.

description: The recent discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC attracts much attention to the precise calculation of its production cross section in quantum chromodynamics. In this work, we discuss the calculation of soft triple-emission phase space integral, which is an essential ingredient in the recently calculated soft-virtual corrections to Higgs boson production at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. The main techniques used this calculation are method of differential equation for Feynman integral, and integration of harmonic polylogarithms.

description: While the consequences of mathematically-based software, algorithms and strategies have become ever wider and better appreciated, ethical reflection on mathematics has remained primitive. We review the somewhat disconnected suggestions of commentators in recent decades with a view to piecing together a coherent approach to ethics in mathematics. Calls for a Hippocratic Oath for mathematicians are examined and it is concluded that while lessons can be learned from the medical profession, the relation of mathematicians to those affected by their work is significantly different. There is something to be learned also from the codes of conduct of cognate but professionalised quantitative disciplines such as engineering and accountancy, as well as from legal principles bearing on professional work. We conclude with recommendations that professional societies in mathematics should sponsor an (international) code of ethics, institutional mission statements for mathematicians and syllabuses of ethics courses for incorporation into mathematics degrees.

description: We analyse sunspot oscillations using Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) slit-jaw and spectral data and narrow-band chromospheric images from the New Solar Telescope (NST) for the main sunspot in NOAA AR 11836. We report that the difference between the shock arrival times as measured the Mg II k 2796.35Å and Si IV 1393.76Å line formation levels changes during the observed period and peak-to-peak delays may range from 40~s to zero. The intensity of chromospheric shocks also displays a long term (about 20~min) variations. NST's high spatial resolution \ha\ data allowed us to conclude that in this sunspot umbral flashes (UFs) appeared in the form of narrow bright lanes stretched along the light bridges and around clusters of umbral bright points. Time series also suggested that UFs preferred to appear on the sunspot-center side of light bridges, which may indicate the existence of a compact sub-photospheric driver of sunspot oscillations. The sunspot's umbra as seen in the IRIS chromospheric and transition region data appears bright above the locations of light bridges and the areas where the dark umbra is dotted with clusters of umbral dots. Co-spatial and co-temporal data from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board Solar Dynamics Observatory showed that the same locations were associated with bright footpoints of coronal loops suggesting that the light bridges may play an important role in heating the coronal sunspot loops. Finally, the power spectra analysis showed that the intensity of chromospheric and transition region oscillations significantly vary across the umbra and with height, suggesting that umbral non-uniformities and the structure of sunspot magnetic fields may play a role in wave propagation and heating of umbral loops.

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2020

description: Although there is a rich literature on children’s strategies for remembering, little attention has been paid to characterizing developmental change within individual children and to examining mediators that may bring about such change. To address these issues, we assess children’s memory skills over time while simultaneously examining communicative interactions in the classroom. Children are not taught memory strategies in an explicit manner, but these skills emerge in the context of the elementary school classroom. Accordingly, we use longitudinal and experimental methodologies to examine the ways in which the language of instruction contributes to the development of children’s memory and cognitive skills. The basic findings are discussed here in terms of possible applications in the classroom that may impact teachers’ instruction and students’ learning.

description: We present, characterize, and apply a photonic quantum interface between the near infrared and telecom spectral regions. A singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) operated below threshold, in combination with external filters, generates high-rate ($>2.5\cdot10^6~{\rm s}^{-1}$) narrowband photon pairs ($\sim 7$ MHz bandwidth); the signal photons are tuned to resonance with an atomic transition in Ca$^+$, while the idler photons are at telecom wavelength. Quantum interface operation is demonstrated through high-rate absorption of single photons by a single trapped ion ($\sim 670~{\rm s}^{-1}$), heralded by coincident telecom photons.

description: Female sex workers (FSWs) have a notably high risk of acquiring human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Relatively few studies address the type-specific prevalence and incidence of HPV among FSWs in sub-Saharan Africa. FSWs (n = 348) attending the Korogocho clinic in Nairobi, Kenya participated from August 2009 to March 2011. HPV DNA was detected using the SPF10-LiPA25 PCR assay. Baseline prevalence of HPV infection and cervical dysplasia were calculated, stratified by HIV-serostatus. Incidence rate (IR) of infection was calculated as number of new infections from baseline over person-months among 160 HPV-negative participants with complete 12-month follow-up. Baseline HPV prevalence was 23.6% for any HPV and 20.4% for high-risk HPV (hrHPV) types. Most prevalent types were HPV52 (10.1%), HPV35 (2.3%), and HPV51 (2.3%). A quarter (24%) of participants were HIV-positive. HPV prevalence was higher in HIV-positive (32.1%) than HIV-negative (20.8%) participants. hrHPV prevalence was higher in HIV-positive (27.4%) than HIV-negative (18.2%) women. During follow-up, HPV IR was 31.4 (95% CI: 23.8–41.5) for any HPV and 24.2 (95% CI: 17.9–32.8) for hrHPV types. HPV52 had the highest IR (6.0; 95% CI: 6.5–10.3). Overall HPV and hrHPV prevalence were lower than expected, but both prevalence and incidence were higher in HIV-positive than in HIV-negative women.

Sacrificial Labour: Social Inequality, Identity Work, and the Damaging Pursuit of Elusive Futures
Creators: name: Monahan, T.
name: Fisher, J.A.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2020

description: This article explores the relationship between personal sacrifice and identity work within conditions of profound structural insecurity. We develop the concept of sacrificial labour to describe how individual self-sacrifice aligns workers’ identities to the needs of organizations while gradually foreclosing the actualization of individuals’ desired future selves. Drawing upon qualitative data from a longitudinal study of healthy individuals who enrol in paid clinical trials for the pharmaceutical industry, we make two contributions to the identity-work literature. First, we argue that the ongoing project of building stable and secure identities may become damaging when structural and cultural conditions defy even provisional, fragile attainment of this goal. Second, we reflect on how racialization and social marginalization erode identities and constrain possibilities for identity recuperation. Whereas the identity-work literature often focuses on the agential accomplishments of individuals, we provide a troubling account of how persistent social and economic inequalities confound identity realization efforts.

description: BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has a detrimental impact on human health on Earth and it is equally concerning in other environments such as space habitat due to microgravity, radiation and confinement, especially for long-distance space travel. The International Space Station (ISS) is ideal for investigating microbial diversity and virulence associated with spaceflight. The shotgun metagenomics data of the ISS generated during the Microbial Tracking-1 (MT-1) project and resulting metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) across three flights in eight different locations during 12 months were used in this study. The objective of this study was to identify the AMR genes associated with whole genomes of 226 cultivable strains, 21 shotgun metagenome sequences, and 24 MAGs retrieved from the ISS environmental samples that were treated with propidium monoazide (PMA; viable microbes). RESULTS: We have analyzed the data using a deep learning model, allowing us to go beyond traditional cut-offs based only on high DNA sequence similarity and extending the catalog of AMR genes. Our results in PMA treated samples revealed AMR dominance in the last flight for Kalamiella piersonii, a bacteria related to urinary tract infection in humans. The analysis of 226 pure strains isolated from the MT-1 project revealed hundreds of antibiotic resistance genes from many isolates, including two top-ranking species that corresponded to strains of Enterobacter bugandensis and Bacillus cereus. Computational predictions were experimentally validated by antibiotic resistance profiles in these two species, showing a high degree of concordance. Specifically, disc assay data confirmed the high resistance of these two pathogens to various beta-lactam antibiotics. CONCLUSION: Overall, our computational predictions and validation analyses demonstrate the advantages of machine learning to uncover concealed AMR determinants in metagenomics datasets, expanding the understanding of the ISS environmental microbiomes and their pathogenic potential in humans.

description: TaskForce has designed and is currently delivering Victoria’s first early intervention program (U- Turn) focused on the intersection of family violence (FV) and problematic alcohol and other drug (AOD) use for men who are potential perpetrators and who are respondents on Family Violence Intervention Orders (FVIO) in the civil space. TaskForce is running four twelve-week group-based programs throughout 2019 and 2020 for up to fourteen men per group who are recent respondents to FVIOs, who are assessed as ‘group-ready’, and who experience problematic AOD use issues. Participants will are being referred from Moorabbin Justice Centre, with completion of the early intervention program a condition on their FVIO.Prior to program entry, participants are being assessed for risk and eligibility. Those who are ineligible for this intervention group are being referred into more suitable programs. Following assessment, participants join a three-week orientation group prior to commencing the 12-week group-based intervention program. Topics to be covered include harm reduction, the relationship between AOD and FV, the gendered nature of FV, the impacts of violence on women, children and the community, respectful communication (post-separation), emotional regulation and basic legal education (with regard to understanding and complying with FVIOs including any possible variations to the FVIO).Informed by feminist theory and behaviour change and AOD harm minimisation principles, U-Turn ensures that men are visible and accountable for their actions, and that women and families are kept safe.The Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre (MGFVPC) has been contracted by TaskForce to undertake the evaluation of four rounds of the U-Turn program between February 2019 and February 2021.

description: Classical solutions to PDEs with discrete state-dependent delay are studied. We prove the well-posedness in a set $X_F$ which is an analogous to the solution manifold used for ordinary differential equations with state-dependent delay. We prove that the evolution operators are $C^1$-smooth on the solution manifold.

Work Precarity and Gig Literacies in Online Freelancing

description: Many workers have been drawn to the gig economy by the promise of flexible, autonomous work, but scholars have highlighted how independent working arrangements also come with the drawbacks of precarity. Digital platforms appear to provide an alternative to certain aspects of precarity by helping workers find work consistently and securely. However, these platforms also introduce their own demands and constraints. Drawing on 20 interviews with online freelancers, 19 interviews with corresponding clients and a first-hand walkthrough of the Upwork platform, we identify critical literacies (what we call gig literacies), which are emerging around online freelancing. We find that gig workers must adapt their skills and work strategies in order to leverage platforms creatively and productively, and as a component of their ‘personal holding environment’. This involves not only using the resources provided by the platform effectively, but also negotiating or working around its imposed structures and control mechanisms.

Searches for third-generation squark production in fully hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: Searches for third-generation squarks in fully hadronic final states are presented using data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 19.4 or 19.7 inverse femtobarns, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. Three mutually exclusive searches are presented, each optimized for a different decay topology. They include a multijet search requiring one fully reconstructed top quark, a dijet search requiring one or two jets originating from b quarks, and a monojet search. No excesses above the standard model expectations are seen, and limits are set on top and bottom squark production in the context of simplified models of supersymmetry.

description: We present a projector quantum Monte Carlo study of the topological properties of the valence-bond-solid ground state in the $J$-$Q_3$ spin model on the square lattice. The winding number is a topological number counting the number of domain walls in the system and is a good quantum number in the thermodynamic limit. We study the finite-size behaviour and obtain the domain wall energy density for a topological nontrivial valence-bond-solid state.

Major Donors and Higher Education: Are STEM Donors Different from Other Donors?
Creators: name: Nwakpuda, E.I.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2020

description: Philanthropic support of higher education is a growing area of interest among academic fundraisers and philanthropy scholars. The academic fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), in particular, are in need of a better understanding of their major donors. This article analyzes a unique database of announced gifts to higher education institutions from 1995 to 2017 to investigate relationships between major donors’ characteristics and the magnitude of their gifts to STEM and all other academic disciplines. Major donors to STEM are disproportionately entrepreneurs who, on average, give larger gifts to STEM than other major donors. Quantile regressions reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between major donors’ entrepreneurial status and gift amounts at the 99th quantile (worth US$100 million or more). As major funding sources for academic STEM are increasingly threatened, these findings are pertinent to academic institutions seeking to leverage major donors as an alternative source of funding.

description: We obtain a consistency relation for the observed three-point correlator of galaxies. It includes relativistic effects and it is valid in the squeezed limit. Furthermore, the consistency relation is non-perturbative and can be used at arbitrarily small scales for the short modes. Our results are also useful to compute the non-linear relativistic corrections which induce a signal in the observations that might be misinterpreted as primordial non-Gaussianity with a local shape. We estimate the effective local non-Gaussianity parameter from the relativistic corrections. The exact value depends on the redshift and the magnification bias. At redshift of $ z = 1$, in the absence of magnification bias, we get $\,\, f^{\rm GR}_{\rm NL} \simeq - 3.7 $.
