title: County Characteristics and Opioid Mortality Rates in the United States
Creators: name: Sung, Baksun
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: Opioid overdose deaths are not equally distributed across the United States. While some areas have a less severe problem with opioid abuse, others face serious challenges, which are affected by various social factors. To address that question, in Chapter 1, I investigate how opioid mortality trends differ according to opioid types, race, and region to identify susceptible populations and areas. In Chapter 1, I contend that synthetic opioid is a main trigger for the current opioid epidemic and that the epidemic is concentrated among blacks and in the Eastern United States. Next, the following studies examine how varying social vulnerabilities contribute to synthetic opioid mortality among counties; and how different kinds of occupational and industrial composition contribute to changing synthetic opioid mortality rates over time in a specific county. In Chapter 2, I look at how this social vulnerability, which is due to minority status and language, is associated with a decrease in mortality rates. However, this effect is lowered over time, and it is weakest in the Midwest and Northeast. Also, the adverse effect of low socioeconomic status significantly contributes to the synthetic opioid epidemic in the Midwest. In Chapter 3, I contend that primary industries and the wholesale trade industry have helped increase synthetic opioid mortality rates in the Midwest and Northeast. Additionally, professional, scientific, and management, and administrative and waste management services industries have aided in the increase in deaths caused by synthetic opioid throughout the United States.

description: Landing an unmanned aerial vehicle unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on top of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) in harsh open waters is a challenging problem, owing to forces that can damage the UAV due to a severe roll and/or pitch angle of the USV during touchdown. To tackle this, we propose a novel model predictive control (MPC) approach enabling a UAV to land autonomously on a USV in these harsh conditions. The MPC employs a novel objective function and an online decomposition of the oscillatory motion of the vessel to predict, attempt, and accomplish the landing during near-zero tilt of the landing platform. The nonlinear prediction of the motion of the vessel is performed using visual data from an onboard camera. Therefore, the system does not require any communication with the USV or a control station. The proposed method was analyzed in numerous robotics simulations in harsh and extreme conditions and further validated in various real-world scenarios.
Composite Toffoli gate with two-round error detection

description: We introduce a fault-tolerant construction to implement a composite quantum operation of four overlapping Toffoli gates. The same construction can produce two independent Toffoli gates. This result lowers resource overheads in designs for quantum computers by more than an order of magnitude. The procedure uses Clifford operations and 64 copies of the non-Clifford gate $T = \exp[i π(I - σ^z) /8]$. Quantum codes detect errors in the circuit. When the dominant source of error is $T$-gate failure with probability $p$, then the composite Toffoli circuit has postselected failure rate of $3072p^4$ to lowest order.

Flexible plate supersonic wind tunnel flow correction to account for plate elastic properties
Creators: name: Chase, Patrick S.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1950
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: A method of correcting the static pressure distribution in the working section of a supersonic wind tunnel with flexible nozzle walls is investigated, in order to account for the discrepancy between the theoretical nozzle wall shape and the actual wall shape due to its elastic properties.

The method of correction is described and an example for an existing wind tunnel is carried out. It is shown that the method of correction is not successful due to the inadequate accuracy of the data from physical measurements and due to the nature of the equations which must be solved. While the former difficulty could possibly be avoided, the latter is considered to be inherent in the method.

Suggestions and criticisms are offered and some results of the investigation regarding correction of the actual wind tunnel static pressure distributions are mentioned.
Sensitivity to thermal noise of atomic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement

description: We examine the prospect of demonstrating Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement for massive particles using spin-changing collisions in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. Such a demonstration has recently been attempted by Gross et al. [Nature 480, 219 (2011)] using a condensate of Rb-87 atoms trapped in an optical lattice potential. For the condensate initially prepared in the (F,m_{F})=(2,0) hyperfine state, with no population in the m_{F}=+-1 states, we predict a significant suppression of the product of inferred quadrature variances below the Heisenberg uncertainty limit, implying strong EPR entanglement. However, such EPR entanglement is lost when the collisions are initiated in the presence of a small (currently undetectable) thermal population n_{th} in the m_{F}=+-1 states. For condensates containing 150 to 200 atoms, we predict an upper bound of n_{th}~1 that can be tolerated in this experiment before EPR entanglement is lost.

description: A total of 92 stiffened panel specimens of birch plywood of a nominal thickness of one-eighth inch with spruce stiffeners set parallel to the applied load were tested at California Institute of Technology to obtain the stress strain relations and the ultimate compression stress of the panels. The panels had heights of 12, 18, and 24 inches; stiffener spacings of 2, 3, 4, and 5 inches; and radii of curvature of 400, 200, 100, 50, 12, and 6 inches. The experimental data are presented as stress strain and column curves, and in tabular form.

The principal results of the research are as follows:

a) Although the scope of the tests were insufficient to formulate general design data, the results present a guide for design criteria of wood panels. Experimentally it has been shown that the effective width method of analysis is applicable to wooden panels.

b) The percent reinforcement vs. ultimate stress investigation indicates that a minimum of 50 to 60% reinforcement should be used in stiffened panel construction.

c) A decrease of the [radius of curvature divided by sheet thickness] ratio gives an increase of ultimate stress approximating a logarithmic variation.

description: This paper presents the results of an investigation of
wind tunnel wall interference in a two-dimensional wind tunnel
at high Mach numbers.  The results are presented in the form of
curves of lift coefficient versus the ratio of model chord to
tunnel height, as functions of Mach number and angle of attack.
The investigation was carried out by the authors at the
Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory of the California Institute
of Technology during the school year 1944-45.

Tests were carried out on the NACA low drag airfoil
section 65,1-012 at Mach numbers from .60 to .80, and angles of
attack of from 1 to 3 degrees.  Models were 1", 2", 4" and 6"
chord, giving values of the chord to tunnel height ration of .1
to .6.  Schlieren photographs were made of shock waves where they
occurred.

description: The steady state for a system of N particle under the influence of an external field and a Gaussian thermostat and colliding with random "virtual" scatterers can be obtained explicitly in the limit of small field. We show the sequence of steady state distribution, as N varies, forms a chaotic sequence in the sense that the k particle marginal, in the limit of large N, is the k-fold tensor product of the 1 particle marginal. We also show that the chaoticity properties holds in the stronger form of entropic chaoticity.

description: We define and calculate the "discharge mode" for a Schwarzschild black hole in massive electrodynamics. For small photon mass, the discharge mode describes the decay of the electric field of a charged star collapsing into a black hole. We argue that a similar "discharge of mass" occurs in massive gravity and leads to a strange process of black hole disappearance.

description: Energy release in the early Universe leads to spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) which in the future might allow probing different physical processes in the pre-recombination (z>~10^3) epoch. Depending on the energy injection history, the associated distortion partially thermalizes due to the combined action of Compton scattering, double Compton scattering and Bremsstrahlung emission, a problem that in general is hard to solve. Various analytic approximations describing the resulting distortion exist, however, for small distortions and fixed background cosmology the Green's function of the problem can be pre-computed numerically. Here we show that this approach gives very accurate results for a wide range of thermal histories, allowing fast and quasi-exact computation of the spectral distortion given the energy release rate. Our method is thus useful for forecasts of possible constraints on early-universe physics obtained from future measurements of the CMB spectrum.

description: Understanding and control of structures and rates involved in protein ligand binding are essential for drug design. Unfortunately, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations cannot directly sample the excessively long residence and rearrangement times of tightly binding complexes. Here we exploit the recently developed multi-ensemble Markov model framework to compute full protein-peptide kinetics of the oncoprotein fragment 25–109Mdm2 and the nano-molar inhibitor peptide PMI. Using this system, we report, for the first time, direct estimates of kinetics beyond the seconds timescale using simulations of an all-atom MD model, with high accuracy and precision. These results only require explicit simulations on the sub-milliseconds timescale and are tested against existing mutagenesis data and our own experimental measurements of the dissociation and association rates. The full kinetic model reveals an overall downhill but rugged binding funnel with multiple pathways. The overall strong binding arises from a variety of conformations with different hydrophobic contact surfaces that interconvert on the milliseconds timescale.

description: The low temperature phase diagram of $^4$He adsorbed on a single graphene sheet is studied by computer simulation of a system comprising nearly thousand helium atoms. In the first layer, two commensurate solid phases are observed, with fillings 1/3 and 7/16 respectively, separated by a domain wall phase, as well as an incommensurate crystal at higher coverage. No evidence of a thermodynamically stable superfliuid phase is found for the first adlayer. Second layer promotion occurs at a coverage of 0.111(4) $Å^{-2}$. In the second layer two phases are observed, namely a superfluid and an incommensurate solid, with no commensurate solid intervening between these two phases. The computed phase diagram closely resembles that predicted for helium on graphite.

description: Der Artikel geht der Frage auf den Grund, welche sozialethischen Lehren aus der Corona-Pandemie auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent zu ziehen sind. Entgegen vieler Prognosen hat sich Afrika bislang als durchaus krisenfest erwiesen. Die eigentliche Stoßrichtung des Bei-trags zielt daher auf die Aufdeckung von eurozentrischen Denk- und Handlungsmustern, die in der aktuellen Krise zum Vorschein gekommen sind. Entlang der Heilsvision aus Jesaja 35,4-6 werden Vorschläge unterbreitet, wie die durch Covid-19 offenbar gewordenen Blindheiten, Lähmungen und Sprachlosigkeiten überwunden werden können. This article explores the question of what social ethical lessons can be drawn from the Corona pandemic on the African continent. Contrary to many predictions, Africa has so far proven to be quite resilient to the crisis. The actual thrust of the contribution is therefore the uncovering of Eurocentric patterns of thought and action that have come to light in the current crisis. Following the vision of salvation from Isaiah 35:4-6, suggestions are made on how to overcome the blindness, paralysis and speechlessness revealed by Covid

description: To comprehensively evaluate a public policy intervention, researchers must consider the effects of the policy not just on the implementing region, but also nearby, indirectly-affected regions. For example, an excise tax on sweetened beverages in Philadelphia was shown to not only be associated with a decrease in volume sales of taxed beverages in Philadelphia, but also an increase in sales in bordering counties not subject to the tax. The latter association may be explained by cross-border shopping behaviors of Philadelphia residents and indicate a causal effect of the tax on nearby regions, which may offset the total effect of the intervention. To estimate causal effects in this setting, we extend difference-in-differences methodology to account for such interference between regions and adjust for potential confounding present in quasi-experimental evaluations. Our doubly robust estimators for the average treatment effect on the treated and neighboring control relax standard assumptions on interference and model specification. We apply these methods to evaluate the change in volume sales of taxed beverages in 231 Philadelphia and bordering county stores due to the Philadelphia beverage tax. We also use our methods to explore the heterogeneity of effects across geographic features.
Zeitliche Herausforderungen und neue Zeiterfahrungen in der Corona-Krise

description: Neben anderen Herausforderungen waren viele Menschen in der Pandemie gezwungen, ihre zeitlichen Gewohnheiten und Bedürfnisse den neuen Gegebenheiten anzupassen. Ein Teil der Bevölkerung scheint unter den Lockdowns und dem Weg-fall zahlreicher Freizeit-Angebote und Kontakt-Möglichkeiten stark gelitten zu haben, während ein anderer Teil zumindest temporär davon profitieren konnte: Während Homeoffice und Homeschooling die Betroffenen auch zeitlich an den Rand ihrer Belastungsfähigkeit brachte, wurden andernorts zeitliche Kontingente freigesetzt, die den familialen Zusammenhalt und kreative Tätigkeiten förderten – und auf diese Weise den Menschen eine Ahnung davon gaben, was mehr Zeitwohlstand für sie persönlich und die Gesellschaft als ganze bedeuten könnten. Wie berechtigt sind die oft geäußerten Erwartungen, positive Impulse auch in Bezug auf den Umgang mit der Zeit in eine Post-Covid-Ära hinüberretten zu können? Additionally to other challenges, during the pandemic period many people were forced to adjust their temporal habits and needs to the new conditions. A large part of the population seemed to suffer from lockdowns and the omission of most leisure offers and opportunities to meet other persons, where-as others could benefit from the new situation. While homeoffice and home-schooling often put families to the edge of their resilience, elsewhere other people could take advantages from this situation by having more time for creative and family-activities. This often gave them an idea of how their personal life and the status of the society could be improved by having more disposable time, in other words more time prosperity. How justified are expectations, to rescue this positive experiences over to the post-covid-era?

A woman's work is never done?! Care-Arbeit und Geschlecht in der Coronapandemie aus evangelisch-theologischer Perspektive
Creators: name: Jäger, Sarah
Publisher: name: Ethik und Gesellschaft
Year: 2021

description: Der Aufsatz untersucht den Gender Care Gap, also den unterschiedlichen Zeitaufwand, den Frauen und Männer besonders als Eltern für unbezahlte Sorgearbeit aufbringen. Dieser Unterschied war vor der Corona-Krise sehr stark ausgeprägt und hat sich nicht verändert. Es deutet zwar einiges darauf hin, dass auch Männer einen Teil der zusätzlichen Betreuungsarbeit übernommen haben, insgesamt leisten aber Frauen nach wie vor einen deutlich höheren Anteil. Dies wird von der Autorin theologisch-ethisch reflektiert, indem sie insbesondere betont, dass Sorgearbeit essentiell zum menschlichen Leben dazugehört und auf die grundlegende Abhängigkeit des Menschen hinweist. Deshalb ist es nötig, Care-Arbeit geschlechtergerecht aufzuteilen und sie dabei weder überzubewerten noch zu trivialisieren. The essay analyses the gender care gap, i.e. the different amount of time women and men spend on unpaid care work, especially as parents. Before the Corona crisis, this difference was very significant and has not changed since. There is some indication that men also have taken on some of the additional care work, but overall women still accomplish a distinctly higher proportion of these duties. The author reflects on this in theological and ethical terms by particularly emphasising that care work is an essential part of human life and is therefore an indication to the fundamental dependence of human beings. For that reason, it is necessary to assign care work in a gender-equitable manner thereby neither overvaluing nor trivialising it.

Politisch abhängig, doch lebensnotwendig: Kulturpolitische Beobachtungen der Kunstlandschaft in Zeiten der Krise
Creators: name: Heinicke, Julius
Publisher: name: Ethik und Gesellschaft
Year: 2021

description: Während der Pandemie offenbarten sich kulturpolitische Spannungsfelder, welche sich über die Jahrhunderte in Deutschland etabliert haben: Obwohl die Kunstszenen die Autonomie des eigenen Handels betonen, ist ihre Existenz in hohem Maße von politischen Entscheidungsträgern abhängig. Darüber hinaus wird Kunstschaffen aus politischer Sicht oftmals nicht als systemrelevant eingestuft, doch scheint es besonders in Krisenzeiten lebensnotwendig zu sein. Der Beitrag beschreibt einzelne Beobachtungen der letzten Monate und kontextualisiert diese zunächst assoziativ, um abschließend erste kulturpolitische Überlegungen zu formulieren. During the pandemic, cultural-political fields of tension became effective, which have been established in Germany over the centuries: Although art scenes emphasise the autonomy of their own trade, their existence is highly dependent on political decision-makers. Moreover, from a political point of view, artistic work is often not considered »system-relevant«, yet it seems to be vital, especially in times of crisis. The article describes individual observations of the last few months and contextualises them first associatively in order to conclude by formulating initial cultural policy considerations.

description: In this paper, we study existence, regularity, classification, and asymptotical behaviors of solutions of some Monge-Ampère equations with isolated and line singularities. We classify all solutions of $\det \nabla^2 u=1$ in $\R^n$ with one puncture point. This can be applied to characterize ellipsoids, in the same spirit of Serrin's overdetermined problem for the Laplace operator. In the case of having $k$ non-removable singular points for $k>1$, modulo affine equivalence the set of all generalized solutions can be identified as an explicit orbifold of finite dimension. We also establish existence of global solutions with general singular sets, regularity properties, and optimal estimates of the second order derivatives of generalized solutions near the singularity consisting of a point or a straight line. The geometric motivation comes from singular semi-flat Calabi-Yau metrics.

description: Nachdem die Bedrohung durch das Corona-Virus im Frühjahr 2020 auch die bundesdeutsche Gesellschaft und Politik erreicht hatte, äußerte sich die Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina in ihrer Rolle als politikberatende Institution und unterbreitete Vorschläge zum Umgang mit der Pandemie. Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert die damaligen Ad-hoc-Stellungnahmen der Leopoldina aus wissenschaftstheoretischer Perspektive. Zunächst werden die inhärenten Herausforderungen wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung erläutert, um anschließend insbesondere die Frage von Sach- und Personalautorität in den Stellungnahmen zu untersuchen. Die Normativität der Aussagen wird hinterfragt, ebenso wie die Themen- und Personenauswahl. Die Ad-hoc-Stellungnahmen werden mit den selbstgesetzten Maßstäben der Leopoldina verglichen, auch in Hinblick auf die Frage, ob wissenschaftliche Politikberatung Optionen geben oder Empfehlungen aussprechen soll. Since the beginning of the corona-virus pandemic in 2020, the German National Academy of Science Leopoldina expressed its views in accordance with its role as a policy advising institution and submitted proposals on how to tackle the pandemic. This paper discusses the Leopoldina's ad-hoc-statements at the time from an epistemological perspective. First, the inherent challenges of scientific policy advice are explained, and then questions regarding factual and personal authority in the statements are examined. The normativity of the statements as well as the selection of topics and experts are questioned. The ad-hoc-statements will be compared with the self-imposed standards of the Leopoldina, especially with regard to the question of whether scientific policy advice should provide options for action or make recommendations.

Dynamic stability of cylindrical shells under step loading

Subjects: Aeronautics

description: A study has been made to determine the dynamic stability of an imperfect circular cylindrical shell subject to a step loading in the axial direction. In the analysis, the radial displacement of the shell is approximated by a finite degree of freedom system. To assure that the created model is proper, its static buckling behavior was studied. It was found that the model gives the proper imperfection sensitivity behavior.

The dynamic analysis includes not only the effect of the radial inertia, but also that due to the axial inertia in an approximate manner. The critical loads are determined by numerical integration of the equation of motion. In addition a study is carried out to consider the effects of wave number of the radial mode shape, mass on the loaded edge of the shell and damping of the axial motion. Compared with the static case, there is a significant reduction of the dynamic buckling load for the high wave numbers of the radial modes. Also, there is a critical clamping value, above which the dynamic buckling load is close to the static buckling load. The dynamic buckling load approaches half of the static buckling load with increasing mass on the loading edge. Through the parametric studies of the wave number, mass, and damping factor it is concluded that due to frequency coupling between axial and radial motions, the axial inertia plays an essential role in characterizing the dynamic instability of a finite length shell.

Bispinor Auxiliary Fields in Duality-Invariant Electrodynamics Revisited

description: Motivated by a recent progress in studying the duality-symmetric models of nonlinear electrodynamics, we revert to the auxiliary tensorial (bispinor) field formulation of the O(2) duality proposed by us in arXiv:hep-th/0110074, arXiv:hep-th/0303192. In this approach, the entire information about the given duality-symmetric system is encoded in the O(2) invariant interaction Lagrangian which is a function of the auxiliary fields V_{αβ}, \bar V_{\dot α\dot β}. We extend this setting to duality-symmetric systems with higher derivatives and show that the recently employed "nonlinear twisted self-duality constraints" amount to the equations of motion for the auxiliary tensorial fields in our approach. Some other related issues are briefly discussed and a few instructive examples are explicitly worked out.

description: The major histocompatibility complex of class II (MHCII) immunopeptidome represents the repertoire of antigenic peptides with the potential to activate CD4+ T cells. An understanding of how the relative abundance of specific antigenic epitopes affects the outcome of T cell responses is an important aspect of adaptive immunity and offers a venue to more rationally tailor T cell activation in the context of disease. Recent advances in mass spectrometric instrumentation, computational power, labeling strategies, and software analysis have enabled an increasing number of stratified studies on HLA ligandomes, in the context of both basic and translational research. A key challenge in the case of MHCII immunopeptidomes, often determined for different samples at distinct conditions, is to derive quantitative information on consensus epitopes from antigenic peptides of variable lengths. Here, we present the design and benchmarking of a new algorithm [peptide landscape antigenic epitope alignment utility (PLAtEAU)] allowing the identification and label-free quantification (LFQ) of shared consensus epitopes arising from series of nested peptides. The algorithm simplifies the complexity of the dataset while allowing the identification of nested peptides within relatively short segments of protein sequences. Moreover, we apply this algorithm to the comparison of the ligandomes of cell lines with two different expression levels of the peptide-exchange catalyst HLA-DM. Direct comparison of LFQ intensities determined at the peptide level is inconclusive, as most of the peptides are not significantly enriched due to poor sampling. Applying the PLAtEAU algorithm for grouping of the peptides into consensus epitopes shows that more than half of the total number of epitopes is preferentially and significantly enriched for each condition. This simplification and deconvolution of the complex and ambiguous peptide-level dataset highlights the value of the PLAtEAU algorithm in facilitating robust and accessible quantitative analysis of immunopeptidomes across cellular contexts. In silico analysis of the peptides enriched for each HLA-DM expression conditions suggests a higher affinity of the pool of peptides isolated from the high DM expression samples. Interestingly, our analysis reveals that while for certain autoimmune-relevant epitopes their presentation increases upon DM expression others are clearly edited out from the peptidome.
