description: Capacitively coupled semiconductor spin qubits hold promise as the building blocks of a scalable quantum computing architecture with long-range coupling between distant qubits. However, the two-qubit gate fidelities achieved in experiments to date have been severely limited by decoherence originating from charge noise and hyperfine interactions with nuclear spins, and are currently unacceptably low for any conceivable multi-qubit gate operations. Here, we present control protocols that implement two-qubit entangling gates while substantially suppressing errors due to both types of noise. These protocols are obtained by making simple modifications to control sequences already used in the laboratory and should thus be easy enough for immediate experimental realization. Together with existing control protocols for robust single-qubit gates, our results constitute an important step toward scalable quantum computation using spin qubits in semiconductor platforms.

description: Introduction: Frailty is frequently observed among people with HIV, and food insecurity is associated with frailty in the general population. Evidence is scarce on the associations between food insecurity and frailty among women with HIV who may be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of food insecurity. The goal of this study was to assess associations between food insecurity and frailty among women with and without HIV. Methods: There were 1265 participants from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study who participated in frailty assessments in 2017. Frailty was measured using the Fried Frailty Phenotype, and women were subsequently categorized as robust, pre-frail or frail. Food insecurity was assessed using the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module, with women categorized as having high, marginal, low or very low food security. Multinomial logistic regression models were conducted to examine cross-sectional associations between food insecurity and frailty while adjusting for socio-demographic, behavioural and HIV status covariates. Results and discussion: Approximately one-third (31.9%) of the women had marginal, low or very low food security, and the proportions of women who met the criteria for frailty or pre-frailty were 55.6% and 12.4% respectively. In the adjusted model, the relative risk ratio (RRR) of frailty for women with very low food security versus women with high food security was 3.37 (95% CI [1.38 to 8.24], p < 0.01); the corresponding RRR of pre-frailty was 3.63 (95% CI [1.76 to 7.51], p < 0.001). Higher annual household income was associated with lower RRRs of frailty or pre-frailty (p < 0.01). Similarly, older age was associated with more frequent frailty (RRR=1.06, 95% CI [1.03 to 1.09], p < 0.001). HIV serostatus was not significantly associated with either pre-frailty (RRR=0.97, 95% CI [0.71 to 1.31]) or frailty (RRR=0.75, 95% CI [0.48 to 1.16]). Conclusions: Very low food security was associated with more frequent frailty and pre-frailty among women with and without for HIV. HIV serostatus was not associated with frailty.

description: We investigate topological properties of a completely integrable system on $S^2\times S^2 \times S^2$ which was recently shown to have a Lagrangian fiber diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R} P^3$ not displaceable by a Hamiltonian isotopy [Oakley J., Ph.D. Thesis, University of Georgia, 2014]. This system can be viewed as integrating the determinant, or alternatively, as integrating a classical Heisenberg spin chain. We show that the system has non-trivial topological monodromy and relate this to the geometric interpretation of its integrals.

description: We present an unbiased molecular line survey toward the carbon-rich circumstellar envelope CIT 6 carried out between 90 and 116 GHz with the Arizona Radio Observatory 12 m telescope. A total of 42 lines assigned to 10 molecular species and 4 isotopologues are detected. Despite the absence of any newly identified circumstellar molecules, several transitions are freshly reported for this object. This work is a complement to our previous line survey toward CIT 6 in the frequency ranges of 36-49 GHz and 131-268 GHz. Based on the measurements and in combination with previously published data, we perform a rotation-diagram analysis to determine the column densities, excitation temperatures, and fractional abundances of the molecules. The excitation temperature varies along the radius. The abundance pattern of CIT6 is broadly consistent with that of the prototype C-star IRC+10216 at the specified detection sensitivity, indicating that the molecular richness in IRC+10216 cannot be attributed to an interpretation of unusual chemistry. Nevertheless, subtle distinctions between the two C-stars are found. The higher abundance of carbon-chain molecules and lower 12C/13C ratio in CIT 6 compared to IRC+10216 imply that the former is more massive or in a more evolved phase than the latter.

Examining police-Black citizen interactions in Newark, New Jersey

description: Black individuals who reside in disadvantaged, high-crime neighborhoods are disproportionately subject to involuntary stops and searches (Brunson and Weitzer, 2009), arrest (Kochel, Wilson, and Mastrofski, 2011) and use of force (Legewie, 2016) by police. Research has shown that policing practices within these communities can diminish the trust of and confidence in the police. This dissertation examines the involuntary encounters of young, Black Newark residents with Newark Police Department officers to better understand how contextual and individual factors inform perceptions of the police. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 39 young adults age 18 to 24. Participants have accumulated police experiences due to the proactive policing strategies that are commonplace in urban, disadvantaged communities. Through comparative analysis, this dissertation research provides understanding regarding the facilitation of trust and confidence in the police and provides insight into the legitimacy attributed to Newark police officers. Additionally, this dissertation draws attention to the ability of Newark residents to generate collective efficacy within neighborhoods in an effort to foster neighborhood safety and well-being due to tenuous relationships with the police. Findings suggest that differences exist in regard to encounters with officers, perceptions of policing services within the community, and the degree of legitimacy attributed to officers based on the length of time residing in one’s neighborhood, specific ward of residence, and delinquency status.

description: It had been observed by Linkov, Petrova and Osipov (1992) that there exist periodic 4-6 hours pulses of 200 microHz seismogravitational oscillations ( SGO ) before 95 % of powerful earthquakes. We explain this by beating between an oscillation eigenmode of a whole tectonic plate and a local eigenmode of an active zone. The beating transfers the oscillation energy from the remote zone of the tectonic plate to the active zone, triggering the earthquake. Oscillation frequencies of the plate and ones of the active zone are tuned to a resonance by an additional compression applied to the active zone due to collision of neighboring plates or the magma flow in the liquid underlay of the astenosphere ( the upper mantle). In the case when there are three or more SGO with incommensurable difference frequencies the SGO beating pattern looks quasi-random, thus masking the non-random nature of the beating process. Nevertheless, we are able to discuss a possibility of the short term earthquakes predictions based on an accurate monitoring of the beating dynamics.

description: We address the cosmological role of an additional ${\cal O}(1)$ eV sterile neutrino in modified gravity models. We confront the present cosmological data with predictions of the FLRW cosmological model based on a variant of $f(R)$ modified gravity proposed by one of the authors previously. This viable cosmological model which deviation from general relativity with a cosmological constant $Λ$ decreases as $R^{-2n}$ for large, but not too large values of the Ricci scalar $R$ provides an alternative explanation of present dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Various up-to-date cosmological data sets exploited include Planck CMB anisotropy, CMB lensing potential, BAO, cluster mass function and Hubble constant measurements. We find that the CMB+BAO constraints strongly the sum of neutrino masses from above. This excludes values $λ\sim 1$ for which distinctive cosmological features of the model are mostly pronounced as compared to the $Λ$CDM model, since then free streaming damping of perturbations due to neutrino rest masses is not sufficient to compensate their extra growth occurring in $f(R)$ gravity. Thus, we obtain $λ>8.2$ ($2σ$) with cluster systematics and $λ>9.4$ ($2σ$) without that. In the latter case we find for the sterile neutrino mass $0.47\,\,\rm{eV}$$\,

description: We describe three useful applications of asteroseismology in the context of exoplanet science: (1) the detailed characterisation of exoplanet host stars; (2) the measurement of stellar inclinations; and (3) the determination of orbital eccentricity from transit duration making use of asteroseismic stellar densities. We do so using the example system Kepler-410 (Van Eylen et al. 2014). This is one of the brightest (V = 9.4) Kepler exoplanet host stars, containing a small (2.8 Rearth) transiting planet in a long orbit (17.8 days), and one or more additional non-transiting planets as indicated by transit timing variations. The validation of Kepler-410 (KOI-42) was complicated due to the presence of a companion star, and the planetary nature of the system was confirmed after analyzing a Spitzer transit observation as well as ground-based follow-up observations.

description: Background: To estimate the incidence, prevalence, frequency, and duration of incarceration and to identify risk factors for incarceration among women at risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States. Methods: During semiannual study visits in a multicenter cohort study, 970 HIV sero-negative participants at risk for HIV were asked about their own incarceration (10/2007-09/2017) and incarceration of sexual partners (10/2013-09/2017). We used descriptive statistics and multivariable log-binomial regression to identify baseline predictors of incident incarceration. Results: Median follow-up time across the 970 participants was 5.5 years (IQR 3.5-9.5). Nearly half (n = 453, 46.7%) of participants were incarcerated during or before the study, and the incarceration rate was 5.5 per 100 person-years. In multivariable models, incident incarceration was associated with prior incarceration (RR 5.20, 95% CI: 3.23-8.41) and noninjection drug use (RR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.10-2.25). Conclusions: Incarceration is common for women at risk for HIV. Prevention interventions that address the complex interplay of drug use, sex exchange, and housing instability for women who have experienced incarceration have the potential to reach an important group of U.S. women at risk of HIV infection.

description: We study the validity of inspiral templates in gravitational wave data analysis with Advanced LIGO sensitivity for low mass binary black holes with total masses of $M \leq 30 Msun$. We mainly focus on the nonspinning system. As our complete inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model ($IMR$), we assume the phenomenological model, "PhenomA", and define our inspiral template model ($Imerg$) by taking the inspiral part into account from $IMR$ up to the merger frequency (fmerg). We first calculate the {\it true} statistical uncertainties using $IMR$ signals and $IMR$ templates. Next, using $IMR$ signals and $Imerg$ templates, we calculate fitting factors and systematic biases, and compare the biases with the {\it true} statistical uncertainties. We find that the valid criteria of the bank of $Imerg$ templates are obtained as $Mcrit \sim 24 Msun$ for detection (if $M>Mcrit$, the fitting factor is smaller than $0.97$), and $Mcrit \sim 26 Msun$ for parameter estimation (if $M>Mcrit$, the systematic bias is larger than the {\it true} statistical uncertainty where the signal to noise ratio is $20$), respectively. In order to see the dependence on the cutoff frequency of the inspiral waveforms, we define another inspiral model $Iisco$ which is terminated at the innermost-stable-circular-orbit frequency ($fisco

How does brand-generated content on Instagram influence consumers engagement
Creators: name: Gao, Xiaoru
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: In order to communicate brand concepts and values to the young generations, many brands are highly active on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Brand-Generated Content has already become the most common marketing strategy for fashion brands and plays a significant role in influencing consumers’ purchase intention. With increased competition on social media platforms, companies need to understand which posting features can bring in more consumer engagements such as number of likes and comments on social media platforms. In this paper, we develop (1) a model to predict the number of likes and (2) a methodology to detect anomaly of posts that have unusually high percentage of negative user comments based on Instagram design variables, including semantic text meanings, facial expressions, color scheme and background of photos, and post timing, among others. We collected a data set of brand-generated Instagram postsfrom ten fashion brands. The data covers the image, text, and user comments posted between 2019 and 2020. Image features were extracted using Convolutional Neural Network, and text topics were generated through Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Our results will help managers design Instagram posts to increase consumer engagement and reduce negativeconsumer reactions.

description: The apparent close encounters of two satellites in the plane of the sky, called mutual approximations, have been suggested as a different type of astrometric observation to refine the moons' ephemerides. The main observables are the central instants of the close encounters, which have the advantage of being free of any scaling and orientation errors. However, no analytical formulation is available yet for the partials of these central instants, leaving numerical approaches or alternative observables (e.g. derivatives of the apparent distance) as options. Filling that gap, this paper develops an analytical method to include central instants as direct observables in the ephemerides estimation and assesses the quality of the resulting solution. To this end, we ran a covariance analysis to compare the estimated solutions obtained with the two types of observables (central instants versus alternative observables), using the Galilean moons of Jupiter as a test case. Alternative observables can be equivalent to central instants in most cases. However, obtaining consistent solutions between the two observable types requires to accurately weigh each alternative observable individually, based on each mutual approximation's characteristics. In that case, using central instants still yields a small improvement of 10-20% of the formal errors in the radial and normal directions (RSW frame), compared to the alternative observables' solution. This improvement increases for mutual approximations with low impact parameters and large impact velocities. Choosing between the two observables thus requires careful assessment based on the characteristics of the available observations. Using central instants over alternative observables ensures that the state estimation fully benefits from the information encoded in mutual approximations, which can be desirable for certain applications.

description: We report the source size distribution, as measured by ALMA millimetric continuum imaging, of a sample of 13 AzTEC-selected submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z_photo ~ 3-6. Their infrared luminosities and star-formation rates (SFR) are L_IR ~ 2-6 x 10^12 L_sun and ~ 200-600 M_sun yr-1, respectively. The size of z ~ 3-6 SMGs ranges from 0".10 to 0".38 with a median of 0".20+0".03-0".05 (FWHM), corresponding to a median circularized effective radius (Rc,e) of 0.67+0.13-0.14 kpc, comparable to the typical size of the stellar component measured in compact quiescent galaxies at z ~ 2 (cQGs) --- R ~ 1 kpc. The median surface SFR density of our z ~ 3-6 SMGs is 100+42-26 M_sun yr-1 kpc-2, comparable to that seen in local merger-driven (U)LIRGsrather than in extended disk galaxies at low and high redshifts. The discovery of compact starbursts in z >~ 3 SMGs strongly supports a massive galaxy formation scenario wherein z ~ 3-6 SMGs evolve into the compact stellar components of z ~ 2 cQGs. These cQGs are then thought to evolve into the most massive ellipticals in the local Universe, mostly via dry mergers. Our results thus suggest that z >~ 3 SMGs are the likely progenitors of massive local ellipticals, via cQGs, meaning that we can now trace the evolutionary path of the most massive galaxies over a period encompassing ~ 90% of the age of the Universe.

description: Background: Prior studies suggest neighborhood poverty and deprivation are associated with adverse health outcomes including death, but evidence is limited among persons with HIV, particularly women. We estimated changes in mortality risk from improvement in three measures of area-level socioeconomic context among participants of the Women's Interagency HIV Study. Methods: Starting in October 2013, we linked geocoded residential census block groups to the 2015 Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and two 2012-2016 American Community Survey poverty variables, categorized into national tertiles. We used parametric g-computation to estimate, through March 2018, impacts on mortality of improving each income or poverty measure by one and two tertiles maximum versus no improvement. Results: Of 1596 women with HIV (median age 49), 91 (5.7%) were lost to follow-up and 83 (5.2%) died. Most women (62%) lived in a block group in the tertile with the highest proportions of individuals with income:poverty <1; 13% lived in areas in the tertile with the lowest proportions. Mortality risk differences comparing a one-tertile improvement (for those in the two highest poverty tertiles) in income:poverty <1 versus no improvement increased over time; the risk difference was -2.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] = -3.7, -0.64) at 4 years. Estimates from family income below poverty level (-1.0%; 95% CI = -2.7, 0.62) and ADI (-1.5%; 95% CI = -2.8, -0.21) exposures were similar. Conclusions: Consistent results from three distinct measures of area-level socioeconomic environment support the hypothesis that interventions to ameliorate neighborhood poverty or deprivation reduce mortality risk for US women with HIV.

description: Let $T$ be a tree on $n$ vertices and let $L_q^T$ be the $q$-analogue of its Laplacian. For a partition $λ\vdash n$, let the normalized immanant of $L_q^T$ indexed by $λ$ be denoted as $d_λ(L_q^T)$. A string of inequalities among $d_λ(L_q^T)$ is known when $λ$ varies over hook partitions of $n$ as the size of the first part of $λ$ decreases. In this work, we show a similar sequence of inequalities when $λ$ varies over two row partitions of $n$ as the size of the first part of $λ$ decreases. Our main lemma is an identity involving binomial coefficients and irreducible character values of $S_n$ indexed by two row partitions. Our proof can be interpreted using the combinatorics of Riordan paths and our main lemma admits a nice probabilisitic interpretation involving peaks at odd heights in generalized Dyck paths or equivalently involving special descents in Standard Young Tableaux with two rows. As a corollary, we also get inequalities between $d_{λ_1}(L_q^{T_1})$ and $d_{λ_2}(L_q^{T_2})$ when $T_1$ and $T_2$ are comparable trees in the $GTS_n$ poset and when $λ_1$ and $λ_2$ are both two rowed partitions of $n$, with $λ_1$ having a larger first part than $λ_2$.
title: Compared with Cotrimoxazole Nitroxoline Seems to Be a Better Option for the Treatment and Prophylaxis of Urinary Tract Infections Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Uropathogens: An In Vitro Study

description: The resistance of uropathogens to various antibiotics is increasing, but nitroxoline remains active in vitro against some relevant multidrug resistant uropathogenic bacteria. 'E. coli' strains, which are among the most common uropathogens, are unanimously susceptible. Thus, nitroxoline is an option for the therapy of urinary tract infections caused by multiresistant bacteria. Since nitroxoline is active against bacteria in biofilms, it will also be effective in patients with indwelling catheters or foreign bodies in the urinary tract. Cotrimoxazole, on the other hand, which, in principle, can also act on bacteria in biofilms, is frequently inactive against multiresistant uropathogens. Based on phenotypic resistance data from a large number of urine isolates, structural characterisation of an MDR plasmid of a recent ST131 uropathogenic 'E. coli' isolate, and publicly available genomic data of resistant enterobacteria, we show that nitroxoline could be used instead of cotrimoxazole for intervention against MDR uropathogens. Particularly in uropathogenic 'E. coli', but also in other enterobacterial uropathogens, the frequent parallel resistance to different antibiotics due to the accumulation of multiple antibiotic resistance determinants on mobile genetic elements argues for greater consideration of nitroxoline in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections.

Cultural and Demic Diffusion of First Farmers, Herders, and their Innovations Across Eurasia

description: Was the spread of agropastoralism from the Eurasian founder regions dominated by demic or by cultural diffusion? This study employs a mathematical model of regional sociocultural development that includes different diffusion processes, local innovation and societal adaptation. Simulations hindcast the emergence and expansion of agropastoral life style in 294 regions of Eurasia and North Africa. Different scenarios for demic and diffusive exchange processes between adjacent regions are contrasted and the spatiotemporal pattern of diffusive events is evaluated. This study supports from a modeling perspective the hypothesis that there is no simple or exclusive demic or cultural diffusion, but that in most regions of Eurasia a combination of demic and cultural processes were important. Furthermore, we demonstrate the strong spatial and temporal variability in the balance of spread processes. Each region shows sometimes more demic, and at other times more cultural diffusion. Only few, possibly environmentally marginal, areas show a dominance of demic diffusion. This study affirms that diffusion processes should be investigated in a diachronic fashion and not from a time-integrated perspective.

Class-Specific Distribution Alignment for Semi-Supervised Medical Image Classification

description: Despite the success of deep neural networks in medical image classification, the problem remains challenging as data annotation is time-consuming, and the class distribution is imbalanced due to the relative scarcity of diseases. To address this problem, we propose Class-Specific Distribution Alignment (CSDA), a semi-supervised learning framework based on self-training that is suitable to learn from highly imbalanced datasets. Specifically, we first provide a new perspective to distribution alignment by considering the process as a change of basis in the vector space spanned by marginal predictions, and then derive CSDA to capture class-dependent marginal predictions on both labeled and unlabeled data, in order to avoid the bias towards majority classes. Furthermore, we propose a Variable Condition Queue (VCQ) module to maintain a proportionately balanced number of unlabeled samples for each class. Experiments on three public datasets HAM10000, CheXpert and Kvasir show that our method provides competitive performance on semi-supervised skin disease, thoracic disease, and endoscopic image classification tasks.

description: A "Higgs factory", an electron-positron collider with center-of-mass energy of about 250 GeV, will measure the cross section of the Higgsstrahlung process, $e^+e^-\rightarrow hZ$, with sub-percent precision. This measurement is sensitive to a variety of new physics scenarios. In this paper, we study two examples. First, we compute corrections to the $e^+e^-\rightarrow hZ$ differential cross section in the effective field theory (EFT) approach, including the complete set of dimension-6 operators contributing to this process. These results are applicable to any model where the new physics mass scale is significantly above the weak scale. Second, we present a complete one-loop calculation of the effect of third-generation squarks, with arbitrary soft masses and mixing, on this cross section. This is expected to be the leading correction in natural supersymmetric models. We demonstrate the agreement between the full one-loop calculation and the EFT result in the limit of large stop masses. Finally, we estimate the discovery reach of the $e^+e^-\rightarrow hZ$ cross section measurement in the two models.

description: We study the thermodynamical properties of a class of asymptotically conical (AC) geometries known as "subtracted geometries". We derive the mass and angular momentum from the regulated Komar Integral and the Hawking-Horowitz prescription and show that they are equivalent. By deriving the asymptotic charges we show that the Smarr formula and the first law of thermodynamics hold. We also propose an analog of Christodulou-Ruffini inequality. The analysis can be generalized to other AC geometries.

description: We study the spectrum of an asymmetric random matrix with block structured variances. The rows and columns of the random square matrix are divided into $D$ partitions with arbitrary size (linear in $N$). The parameters of the model are the variances of elements in each block, summarized in $g\in\mathbb{R}^{D\times D}_+$. Using the Hermitization approach and by studying the matrix-valued Stieltjes transform we show that these matrices have a circularly symmetric spectrum, we give an explicit formula for their spectral radius and a set of implicit equations for the full density function. We discuss applications of this model to neural networks.

description: Ion sound instabilities driven by the ion flow in a system of a finite length are considered by analytical and numerical methods. The ion sound waves are modified by the presence of stationary ion flow resulting in negative and positive energy modes. The instability develops due to coupling of negative and positive energy modes mediated by reflections from the boundary. It is shown that the wave dispersion due to deviation from quasineutrality is crucial for the stability. In finite length system, the dispersion is characterized by the length of the system measured in units of the Debye length. The instability is studied analytically and the results are compared with direct, initial value numerical simulations.
