description: Charge-density-wave (CDW) instability and pressure-induced superconductivity in bulk 1T-NbS2 are predicted theoretically by first-principles calculations. We reveal a CDW instability towards the formation of a stable commensurate CDW order, resulting in a sqart(13)*sqart(13) structural reconstruction featured with star-of-David clusters. The CDW phase exhibits one-dimensional metallic behavior with in-plane flat-band characteristics, and coexists with an orbital-density-wave order predominantly contributed by 4d_(z^2-r^2 ) orbital from the inner Nb atoms of the star-of-David cluster. By doubling the cell of the CCDW phase along the layer stacking direction, a metal-insulator transition may be realized in the CDW phase in case the interlayer antiferromagnetic ordering and Coulomb correlation effect have been considered simultaneously. Bare electron susceptibility, phonon linewidth and electron-phonon coupling calculations suggest that the CDW instability is driven by softened phonon modes due to the strong electron-phonon coupling interactions. CDW order can be suppressed by pressure, concomitant with appearance of superconductivity. Our theoretical predictions call for experimental investigations to further clarify the transport and magnetic properties of 1T-NbS2. Furthermore, it would also be very interesting to explore the possibility to realize the CDW order coexisting with the superconductivity in bulk 1T-NbS2.

description: We analyze the prospects of a feasible, Brookhaven National Laboratory based, very long baseline (BVLB) neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a conventional horn produced low energy wide band beam and a detector of 500 kT fiducial mass with modest requirements on event recognition and resolution. Such an experiment is intended primarily to determine CP violating effects in the neutrino sector for 3-generation mixing. We analyze the sensitivity of such an experiment. We conclude that this experiment will allow determination of the CP phase $δ_{CP}$ and the currently unknown mixing parameter $θ_{13}$, if $\sin ^2 2 θ_{13} \geq 0.01$, a value $\sim 15$ times lower than the present experimental upper limit. In addition to $θ_{13}$ and $δ_{CP}$, the experiment has great potential for precise measurements of most other parameters in the neutrino mixing matrix including $Δm^2_{32}$, $\sin^2 2θ_{23}$, $Δm^2_{21}\times \sin 2 θ_{12}$, and the mass ordering of neutrinos through the observation of the matter effect in the $ν_μ\to ν_e$ appearance channel.

description: We present a nonequilibrium kinetic theory describing atom-molecule population dynamics in a two-component Fermi gas with a Feshbach resonance. Key collision integrals emerge that govern the relaxation of the atom-molecule mixture to chemical and thermal equilibrium. Our focus is on the pseudogap regime where molecules form above the superfluid transition temperature. In this regime, we formulate a simple model for the atom-molecule population dynamics. The model predicts the saturation of molecule formation that has been observed in recent experiments, and indicates that a dramatic enhancement of the atom-molecule conversion efficiency occurs at low temperatures.

Telehealth-use in the care of Patients with Myocardial Ischemia : A Scoping Review
Creators: name: Dy, May
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Background: Heart disease is the second leading cause of death after cancer and the leading cause of hospitalization in Canada.1 This patient population faces healthcare access issues for treatment and follow-up. Telehealth may be a possible solution. Objective: To explore, map, and summarize the current state of literature related to telehealth use in myocardial ischemia. Methods: A scoping review was conducted on literature available from January 2014 to January 2019. Three databases were searched, and grey literature was identified using the Google Scholar search engine. Literature was considered for inclusion if it (1) was published in English; (2) was related to patients with myocardial ischemia from common causes; (3) reported on telehealth development or use; (4) included a patient and healthcare professional interaction; and (5) was limited to adult populations. Results: Thirteen research articles met the inclusion criteria. Randomized control trials (n=7) and systematic reviews (n=4) were most common. Most of the literature focused on North American (n=4) and European countries (n=4), although some focused on more than one geographic area (n=4). The majority of the articles used more than one type of telehealth intervention, such as a combination of: telephone, text messaging, live video chat/video conferencing, email, and physiologic measures. Three main areas of investigation were addressed through telehealth use: (1) healthcare access issues, (2) low adherence to traditional rehabilitative programs, and (3) telemonitoring of physiologic data. Future research should analyze which components of telehealth cardiac rehabilitation are most beneficial, and identify settings in which preventative efforts are deemed ineffective. Conclusion: The existing literature suggests that telehealth is primarily used for the secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, and its use is increasing as technologies evolve and internet use becomes more commonplace. Telehealth has the potential to reduce travel burden, provide access to a wider range of specialist advice, and deliver faster and more efficient care. There are several considerations for researchers and clinicians when designing interventions to improve access and adherence to care for patients with ischemic heart disease.

description: Currently, the most widely used approach for speaker verification is the deep speaker embedding learning. In this approach, we obtain a speaker embedding vector by pooling single-scale features that are extracted from the last layer of a speaker feature extractor. Multi-scale aggregation (MSA), which utilizes multi-scale features from different layers of the feature extractor, has recently been introduced and shows superior performance for variable-duration utterances. To increase the robustness dealing with utterances of arbitrary duration, this paper improves the MSA by using a feature pyramid module. The module enhances speaker-discriminative information of features from multiple layers via a top-down pathway and lateral connections. We extract speaker embeddings using the enhanced features that contain rich speaker information with different time scales. Experiments on the VoxCeleb dataset show that the proposed module improves previous MSA methods with a smaller number of parameters. It also achieves better performance than state-of-the-art approaches for both short and long utterances.

description: Cities around the world constitute an emerging market for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). For local governments, MaaS may offer opportunities to reduce ownership and use of private cars for passenger transport, thereby easing pressures on urban space, the local environment and global climate. By drawing on literature related to socio-technical transitions and the diffusion of environmental innovations, this article analyses survey results of MaaS stakeholders in the City of Stockholm, where several initiatives to facilitate development of MaaS are underway. The results illustrate what stakeholders do and consider important, which kinds of barriers, opportunities and challenges are perceived, and what type of expectations stakeholders share about the role of the City administration in the development of MaaS in Stockholm. In sum, results indicate an important, yet delicate role for local governments in facilitating MaaS, whilst suggesting the need for regional or national regulatory solutions in the longer-term, to ensure legitimacy and transparency.

description: Previous studies have shown that a hierarchical network comprising a number of compliant reference stations and a much larger number of low-cost sensors can deliver reliable air quality data at high temporal and spatial resolution for ozone at neighbourhood scales. Key to this framework is the concept of a proxy: a reliable (regulatory) data source whose results have sufficient statistical similarity over some period of time to those from any given low-cost measurement site. This enables the low-cost instruments to be calibrated remotely, avoiding the need for costly on-site calibration of dense networks. This paper assesses the suitability of this method for local air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide which show large temporal and spatial variability in concentration. The proxy technique is evaluated using the data from the network of regulatory air monitoring stations measuring nitrogen dioxide in Southern California to avoid errors introduced by low-cost instrument performance. Proxies chosen based on land use similarity signalled typically less than 0.1 percent false alarms. Although poor proxy performance was observed when the local geography was unusual (a semi-enclosed valley) in this instance the closest neighbour station proved to be an appropriate alternative. The method also struggled when wind speeds were low and very local sources presumably dominated the concentration patterns. Overall, we demonstrate that the technique can be applied to nitrogen dioxide, and that appropriate proxies can be found even within a spatially sparse network of stations in a region with large spatio-temporal variation in concentration.

Deconfined quantum criticality of the O(3) nonlinear $σ$ model in two spacial dimensions: A renormalization group study
Creators: name: Kim, Ki-Seok
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the quantum phase transition of the O(3) nonlinear $σ$ model {\it without Berry phase} in two spacial dimensions. Utilizing the $CP^{1}$ representation of the nonlinear $σ$ model, we obtain an effective action in terms of bosonic spinons interacting via compact U(1) gauge fields. Based on the effective field theory, we find that the bosonic spinons are deconfined to emerge at the quantum critical point of the nonlinear $σ$ model. It is emphasized that the deconfinement of spinons is realized {\it in the absence of Berry phase}. This is in contrast to the previous study of Senthil et al. [Science {\bf 303}, 1490 (2004)], where the Berry phase plays a crucial role, resulting in the deconfinement of spinons. It is the reason why the deconfinement is obtained even in the absence of the Berry phase effect that the quantum critical point is described by the XY ("neutral") fixed point, not the IXY ("charged") fixed point. The IXY fixed point is shown to be unstable against instanton excitations and the instanton excitations are proliferated. {\it At the IXY fixed point it is the Berry phase effect that suppresses the instanton excitations, causing the deconfinement of spinons}. {\it On the other hand, the XY fixed point is found to be stable against instanton excitations because an effective internal charge is zero at the neutral XY fixed point}. As a result the deconfinement of spinons occurs at the quantum critical point of the O(3) nonlinear $σ$ model in two dimensions.

description: Low barrier nanomagnets have attracted a lot of research interest for their use as sources of high quality true random number generation. More recently, low barrier nanomagnets with tunable output have been shown to be a natural hardware platform for unconventional computing paradigms such as probabilistic spin logic. Efficient generation and tunability of high quality random bits is critical for these novel applications. However, current spintronic random number generators are based on superparamagnetic tunnel junctions (SMTJs) with tunability obtained through spin transfer torque (STT), which unavoidably leads to challenges in designing concatenated networks using these two terminal devices. The more recent development of utilizing spin orbit torque (SOT) allows for a three terminal device design, but can only tune in-plane magnetization freely, which is not very energy efficient due to the needs of overcoming a large demagnetization field. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time, a stochastic device with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) that is completely tunable by SOT without the aid of any external magnetic field. Our measurements lead us to hypothesize that a tilted anisotropy might be responsible for the observed tunability. We carry out stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (sLLG) simulations to confirm our experimental observation. Finally, we build an electrically coupled network of two such stochastic nanomagnet based devices and demonstrate that finite correlation or anti-correlation can be established between their output fluctuations by a weak interconnection, despite having a large difference in their natural fluctuation time scale. Simulations based on a newly developed dynamical model for autonomous circuits composed of low barrier nanomagnets show close agreement with the experimental results.

description: Social distancing is the practice of physically distancing (e.g., 6 feet away) from other people. Social distancing has been implemented as the primary intervention against the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce transmission of the virus between people. While this is beneficial, there are effects that could result from the lack of social interaction. This study reviewed the effects of social distancing on first responders—an at-risk population who were the most exposed to COVID-19 and suffered from increased adverse mental health outcomes as a result of their position in the first line of defense. By using a phenomenological qualitative study, 31 participants were interviewed to understand if social distancing affected their lives in any significant way. The results of this study determined that social distancing occurred within families and friends, which was difficult for a population that heavily relied and needed support during this challenging time. Additionally, social distancing occurred in the workplace and that affected first responder’s ability to work effectively in their occupation and with patients. Both these situations caused anxiety and stress in first responders. Overall, distancing may be contributing to some of the poor mental health outcomes that are currently researched in first responders during the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis. It has affected the working lives and psychological health of orthopedic surgeons in Pakistan. However, there is a lack of research on this topic, therefore the current study has examined the effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on the working lives and psychological health of orthopedic surgeons in Pakistan. Using a cross-sectional survey research design, data were collected from 364 orthopedic surgeons in Pakistan. Missing data analysis were performed with Little’s Test for Missing Data. Descriptive Statistics were used to report results on effects of COVID-19 pandemic. Chi-square test was used to determine association between COVID-19 pandemic and psychological health. Findings revealed that majority of orthopedic surgeons were not directly involved in the care of COVID-19 patients, however, those who were involved had experienced a high level of stress, fear, and anxiety. It was because the orthopedic surgeons had no proper personal protection equipment, and government response toward COVID-19 was not satisfactory. Moreover, work-life balance of orthopedic surgeons was also disturbed. The COVID-19 pandemic is major health crisis. It has severely affected the working lives and psychological health of the orthopedic surgeons in Pakistan. The Orthopedic surgeons can cope with the psychological effects of COVID-19 through developing resilience and self-control. Moreover, they can avail social support from family, and engage in two-way communication and teambuilding activities in hospitals.

description: The electronic absorption (EA), circular dichroism (ECD), and anisotropy spectra of the L-valine zwitterion and D-glyceraldehyde are calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with the M06-2X and B3LYP functionals. It is found that the absorption and ECD spectra from TDDFT/M06-2X agree well with experimental results measured from amorphous film of L-valine. Moreover, the calculations reproduce all three major peaks observed in the experimental anisotropy spectra. For D-glyceraldehyde, the TDDFT/M06-2X calculations indicate that the excitation wavelengths of the first excited state of 32 stable conformers distribute from 288 to 322 nm, giving rise to two ECD peaks with opposite signs centered at 288 nm and 322 nm. The very weak absorption of the first excited state (S1) induces two high peaks in the anisotropy spectra of D-glyceraldehyde, which should be seen in future experimental works.

description: In this study, we develop a Diffusion Transformer (referred as to DiT1D) for synthesizing realistic earthquake time histories. The DiT1D generates realistic broadband accelerograms (0-30 Hz resolution), constrained at low frequency by 3-dimensional (3D) elastodynamics numerical simulations, ensuring the fulfillment of the minimum observable physics. The DiT1D architecture, successfully adopted in super-resolution image generation, is trained on recorded single-station 3-components (3C) accelerograms. Thanks to Multi-Head Cross-Attention (MHCA) layers, we guide the DiT1D inference by enforcing the low-frequency part of the accelerogram spectrum into it. The DiT1D learns the low-to-high frequency map from the recorded accelerograms, duly normalized, and successfully transfer it to synthetic time histories. The latter are low-frequency by nature, because of the lack of knowledge on the underground structure of the Earth, demanded to fully calibrate the numerical model. We developed a CNN-LSTM lightweight network in conjunction with the DiT1D, so to predict the peak amplitude of the broadband signal from its low-pass-filtered counterpart, and rescale the normalized accelerograms rendered by the DiT1D. Despite the DiT1D being agnostic to any earthquake event peculiarities (magnitude, site conditions, etc.), it showcases remarkable zero-shot prediction realism when applied to the output of validated earthquake simulations. The generated time histories are viable input accelerograms for earthquake-resistant structural design and the pre-trained DiT1D holds a huge potential to integrate full-scale fault-to-structure digital twins of earthquake-prone regions.

description: Kritische Infrastrukturen (KRITIS) sind komplexe, hochgradig vernetzte Systeme, die aufgrund der von ihnen erbrachten Versorgungsleistungen von unerlässlicher, ‚kritischer‘ Relevanz für moderne Gesellschaften sind. Gemäß § 2 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 Satz 4 des Raumordnungsgesetzes (ROG) ist „[d]em Schutz kritischer Infrastrukturen [..] Rechnung zu tragen“, was KRITIS in ihrem funktionalen, grenz- und systemüberschreitenden Charakter zu einer Aufgabe der Raumordnung macht. Diese Dissertation schafft eine Evidenzgrundlage zum Umgang mit KRITIS, indem Verständnis- und Operationalisierungsgrundlagen entwickelt werden, die KRITIS als komplexes System-von-Systemen (be-)greifbar machen. Dabei wird zunächst Kritikalität theoretisch erfasst, als distinktes Konzept entwickelt und die Notwendigkeit eines integrierten Kritikalitätsverständnisses argumentiert. Diese Grundlagen werden in einen Operationalisierungsansatzes überführt, der das sog. ‚Systemische Kaskadenpotenzial‘ von KRITIS-Teilsektoren (Elektrizität, Straßenverkehr, Wasserversorgung etc.) messbar macht. In der anschließenden Analyse des KRITIS-Gesamtsystems in Deutschland werden über diverse Auswertungs- und Aufbereitungsformen, bspw. Netzwerk- und Kaskadendiagramme sowie teilsektorbezogene Steckbriefe, bedarfsgerechte Verständnisgrundlagen sowie Informations- und Kommunikationsinstrumente geschaffen. Abschließend werden die Anwendungspotenziale dieser Evidenzgrundlage für unterschiedliche Akteur*innen diskutiert und gezeigt, dass über eine normative Klassifizierung des ‚Systemischen Kaskadenpotenzials‘ eine Grundlage zur Regelung und Gewichtung von KRITIS in der Raumordnung möglich wird.

description: An integro-differential equation governing the evolution of the leading-order B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude is derived. The anomalous dimension in this equation contains a logarithm of the renormalization scale, whose coefficient is identified with the cusp anomalous dimension of Wilson loops. The exact analytic solution of the evolution equation is obtained, from which the asymptotic behavior of the distribution amplitude is derived. These results can be used to resum Sudakov logarithms entering the hard-scattering kernels in QCD factorization theorems for exclusive B decays.

description: Demand uncertainty may be a significant barrier for firms entering a market. This study suggests that establishing a monopsony that absorbs demand uncertainty by its commitment to a long-term stable price may efficiently reduce uncertainty. An economic model examines the social welfare consequences of establishing such a monopsony in the waste recycling market in Israel. The results show that establishment of a monopsony in the waste recycling market could be efficient from a social welfare perspective, although this depends on the market’s uncertainty level. According to our analysis, profitability exists only when the level of uncertainty in the market is very high – in this case, 140% higher than in 2000–2004. Thus, it is efficient for a monopsony to operate only in situations of extreme market uncertainty.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Faroe Islands is an archipelago situated in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. One of the major industries is farming of salmonids. The farms are mostly located in bays and fjords that are sheltered from strong currents. The small distance between the fjords and the open ocean implies that many Faroese fjords are periodically exposed to ocean swells, especially during winter. Ocean swells are generally long period waves with motion reaching deep into the water column. When the swells are large enough they can add to the cleaning of fish farming sites by resuspension of the bottom sediments. In the present study the influence of swells on the bottom sediment in Funningsfjørður is investigated. By means of wave- and current measurements, combined with turbidity and sedimentation trap measurements, we found that wave action induced major resuspension events. Events with significant wave height above 2 m and peak periods of around 13 sec caused sediment at bottom depths of 54 m to be in suspension at < 14 m depth in the watercolum. However, current speeds of 15-20 cm s-1 near the seabed did not induce noteworthy resuspension of fish farm wastes. Sediment inventory combined with mineralization measurements of organic carbon indicated, that the influence of waves contributed to the removal of fish farm wastes from the seabed below the fish farm

description: A report of progress in spintronics-related works involving group III nitrides is given emphasizing contradictory opinions concerning basics characteristics of these materials. The actual position of magnetic impurities in the GaN lattice as well as a possible role of magnetic precipitates is discussed. The question whether the hole introduce by the Mn impurities is localized tightly on the Mn d-levels or rather on the hybridized p-d bonding states is addressed. The nature of spin-spin interactions and magnetic phases, as provided by theoretical and experimental findings, is outlined, and possible origins of the high temperature ferromagnetism observed in (Ga,Mn)N are presented. Experimental studies aiming at evaluating characteristic times of spin coherence and dephasing in GaN are described.

description: The high rate of mortality and global panic for the past 6 months because of Covid-19 pandemic calls for concern. Among the precautionary measures from international health organizations and governments to her citizens are the total lock-down, self-isolation, physical distancing, and handwashing mechanisms. Thus, this study attempts to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of these mechanisms by residents and tourists in George Town Heritage City traditional shophouses and proffer possible ways to mitigate future pandemics, especially concerning interior design components of a typical traditional shophouse. To achieve this, a phenomenology type of qualitative research was adopted. Data were collected via observations of selected traditional shophouses in George Town Heritage City, face-to-face interviews conducted, and validated via secondary sources. Findings show that it is difficult to practice some of the precautionary measures as recommended by appropriate authorities in majority of the George Town Heritage City traditional shophouses because of renovation and modernization to the original design. As part of the practical implications, this study is advocating for the modification of future design and construction to mitigate the spread of the contagious pandemic in shophouses. Also, this paper intends to stir-up key stakeholders and open new areas for future research.

description: Cerebral blood volume (CBV) is a hemodynamic correlate of oxygen metabolism and reflects brain activity and function. High-resolution CBV maps can be generated using the steady-state gadolinium-enhanced MRI technique. Such a technique requires an intravenous injection of exogenous gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) and recent studies suggest that the GBCA can accumulate in the brain after frequent use. We hypothesize that endogenous sources of contrast might exist within the most conventional and commonly acquired structural MRI, potentially obviating the need for exogenous contrast. Here, we test this hypothesis by developing and optimizing a deep learning algorithm, which we call DeepContrast, in mice. We find that DeepContrast performs equally well as exogenous GBCA in mapping CBV of the normal brain tissue and enhancing glioblastoma. Together, these studies validate our hypothesis that a deep learning approach can potentially replace the need for GBCAs in brain MRI.

description: This paper aims to understand the practice of SEA in the urban development sector in New Zealand. In New Zealand, SEA has been practiced over the last two decades under the Resource Management Act (RMA) of 1991. Given this legal context, the SEA process of a major urban plan was evaluated against a set of procedural criteria. The results indicate that the SEA has, in general, fulfilled key procedural requirements, albeit with a few shortcomings. The shortcomings include absence of cumulative impacts, inadequate baseline information, inadequate mitigation and monitoring. The possible causes of the shortcomings are explained. This study also explored some key features of SEA practice in New Zealand that may influence SEA practice. Finally, recommendations are made for improvement of SEA practice in New Zealand with future directions. The findings of this study can be useful to SEA for urban planning in New Zealand.

description: This study examines the consequences of droughts on the aggregate economic growth and the growth of agriculture, industry and service sectors respectively. The benefits of financial relief post-drought and the efficacy of irrigation infrastructure is also statistically tested considering a sample of 45 districts in one of the largest states in India, Madhya Pradesh. A two-step GMM procedure is applied to balanced panel data for the period 2005 to 2012. Districts in the state face recurrent droughts, limited irrigation, and rainfall variability increases vulnerability to drought risks. Results show that drought adversely impacts on the growth rate of the agricultural sector and the aggregate economy. Post-drought financial relief has a positive and significant impact on the growth rate of the industrial sector and economic growth at the district level. The study contributes to the growing literature on disaster impact on growth by focusing on district-level assessment.

description: Health evaluation of the indoor environment is an important part of the housing study. During the recent COVID-19 lockdown and the increase of longer indoor stays pose a measured threat to general health conditions of residents, especially those that live in more compact and populated living environments. For health-oriented studies that focus on the analysis of indoor environments, many variables should be taken into consideration that could also help to optimize natural lighting, natural airflow, better privacy, less noise from neighboring housing units/buildings, etc. Hence, this study focuses on satisfaction analysis of both general comfort and indoor thermal comfort. By evaluating these, we are able to shed light on inequalities that exist across a large body of 10 housing typologies in the UK. The sample-based satisfaction analysis is representative to indicate the correlations between multiple factors, and specifically those that could have negative impacts on the living indoor environments and human health. The findings of this study suggest that based on the collected data, there is a definite link between dissatisfaction rates and the implications of the housing conditions. Under the circumstances of the lockdown period, the study’s findings could help to find solutions for better indoor environment design, upgraded standards, and pathways for new policy guidelines. A discussion on correlation analysis highlights the issues that are important for the study of housing and health.
Packings of frictionless spherocylinders

description: We present simulation results on the properties of packings of frictionless spherocylindrical particles. Starting from a random distribution of particles in space, a packing is produced by minimizing the potential energy of inter-particle contacts until a force-equilibrated state is reached. For different particle aspect ratios $α=10\ldots 40$, we calculate contacts $z$, pressure as well as bulk and shear modulus. Most important is the fraction $f_0$ of spherocylinders with contacts at both ends as it governs the jamming threshold $z_c(f_0)=8+2f_0$. These results highlight the important role of the axial "sliding" degree of freedom of a spherocylinder, which is a zero-energy mode but only if no end-contacts are present.
