description: We define a family of stochastic Loewner evolution-type processes in finitely connected domains, which are called continuous LERW (loop-erased random walk). A continuous LERW describes a random curve in a finitely connected domain that starts from a prime end and ends at a certain target set, which could be an interior point, or a prime end, or a side arc. It is defined using the usual chordal Loewner equation with the driving function being $\sqrt{2}B(t)$ plus a drift term. The distributions of continuous LERW are conformally invariant. A continuous LERW preserves a family of local martingales, which are composed of generalized Poisson kernels, normalized by their behaviors near the target set. These local martingales resemble the discrete martingales preserved by the corresponding LERW on the discrete approximation of the domain. For all kinds of targets, if the domain satisfies certain boundary conditions, we use these martingales to prove that when the mesh of the discrete approximation is small enough, the continuous LERW and the corresponding discrete LERW can be coupled together, such that after suitable reparametrization, with probability close to 1, the two curves are uniformly close to each other.

description: I apply Dawid's Meta-Empirical Assessment (MEA) methodology to the theory of cosmological inflation. I argue that applying this methodology does not currently offer a compelling case for ascribing non-empirical confirmation to cosmological inflation. In particular, I argue that despite displaying strong instances of Unexpected Explanatory Coherence (UEA), it is premature to evaluate the theory on the basis of the No Alternatives Argument (NAA). More significantly though, I argue that the theory of cosmological inflation fails to sustain a convincing Meta-Inductive Argument (MIA) because the empirical evidence and theoretical successes that it seeks to draw meta-empirical support from do not warrant a meta-inductive inference to inflation. I conclude by assessing how future developments could pave the way towards crafting a more compelling case for the non-empirical confirmation of cosmological inflation.

Extra-tropical cyclones are the main source of weekly weather variability across much of the middle latitudes and are often associated with damaging winds, coastal erosion, and significant precipitation. Under the right dynamic and thermodynamic conditions, these cyclones may rapidly intensify. This rapid intensification is called "bomb" cyclogenesis, and is particularly hazardous due to its low predictability and associated weather hazards. Using six-hourly Community Atmosphere Model (CAM 5.0) simulation output with a 0.25°x0.25° resolution for 1979-2006, an objective-based approach was implemented to modify a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory tropical cyclone tracking algorithm to detect mid-latitude cyclones. The modification of the algorithm will be useful for future analyses based on extra-tropical cyclone climatology assessment. Systematically adjusting the algorithm thresholds reveal the sensitivities of tropical cyclone track density to each parameter. Increasing the radial distance threshold for a tropical cyclone at time t0 to the same cyclone at t1 reduces the Atlantic tropical cyclone storm count and deviates the Atlantic basin tropical storm track density. Additionally, decreasing the cyclone lifespan requirement from 3 days to 1 day increases tropical storm count globally and is more characteristic of storms traversing the North Atlantic in extra-tropical transition.

description: Historically, youth (13-25) have been one of the most active user groups of public transit in Canada, accounting for one-third of ridership nation-wide, and up to two-thirds in cities such as Moose Jaw, SK and Red Deer, AB (Canadian Urban Transit Association, 2004). Despite their high usage of public transportation, youth as a specific category of riders have received an underwhelming amount of focus by academics and transit authorities. This report synthesizes the last ten years of evidence, policy, and pilot projects related to youth as a public transportation user group in order to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of knowledge in this area. Youth and public transportation research is identified and evaluated, including data sources and gaps. Media coverage of the issue is also considered, as many of the concerns of youth, public debates, and pilot programs related to youth and public transit are only referenced in this format. The final section of this work consists of an evidence-based agenda for future research and policy, with an eye toward enhancing the equity of access to transit systems for youth riders.

description: The (001) surfaces of polar perovskites BaTiO$_3$ and PbTiO$_3$ have been studied from first principles at T=0 K. For both cases of polarization, the most stable TiO-terminated interfaces show intrinsic ferroelectricity. In the topmost layer, where the O atoms are $>$0.1 Åabove Ti, this leads to metallic instead of the insulating behavior of the electronic states that may have important implications for multiferroic tunneling junctions.

Statistically, flooding is the most devastating natural disaster not only in the US, but in the world. Of the many different severe and normal weather events, floods typically cause the most casualties and damage. Within Hazard Services of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, software is being developed and improved for use by the National Weather Service to help prevent such disasters. Because flooding is a worldwide event, the new program produced by this Hazard Services project was created with the intention of being used anywhere for the safety of the public. Time is of the essence in a flooding event and forecasters need to have all relevant information readily available. This project’s work provides a script that gives forecasters the tools to issue quick and efficient warnings by creating a catalog of flood prone areas, customized for the regions that each forecast office covers. By ingesting unique geospatial data all at once with a merged file in the form of dams, rivers, and burn scars into a relational database, forecasters can simply choose the shape and initiate a watch, warning or advisory within the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) software. Having access to pre-set outlines of dam-break outflow, burn scars, and river inundation is much more efficient than drawing the shape of an area that is expected to flood by hand. Thus, not only does the new program allow faster issuance of alerts, but it has left less room for error and more room for geospatially accurate alerts. With this program, we were able to store and then retrieve shapefiles from a database within the AWIPS software swiftly, and much more efficiently than before.

description: Accurate segmentation of clustered microcalcifications in mammography is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Despite exhibiting expert-level accuracy, recent deep learning advancements in medical image segmentation provide insufficient contribution to practical applications, due to the domain shift resulting from differences in patient postures, individual gland density, and imaging modalities of mammography etc. In this paper, a novel framework named MLN-net, which can accurately segment multi-source images using only single source images, is proposed for clustered microcalcification segmentation. We first propose a source domain image augmentation method to generate multi-source images, leading to improved generalization. And a structure of multiple layer normalization (LN) layers is used to construct the segmentation network, which can be found efficient for clustered microcalcification segmentation in different domains. Additionally, a branch selection strategy is designed for measuring the similarity of the source domain data and the target domain data. To validate the proposed MLN-net, extensive analyses including ablation experiments are performed, comparison of 12 baseline methods. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of MLN-net in segmenting clustered microcalcifications from different domains and the its segmentation accuracy surpasses state-of-the-art methods.

description: Topological Josephson junctions (JJs), which contain Majorana bound states, are expected to exhibit 4$π$-periodic current-phase relation, thereby resulting in doubled Shapiro steps under microwave irradiation. We performed numerical calculations of dynamical properties of topological JJs using a modified resistively and capacitively shunted junction model and extensively investigated the progressive evolution of Shapiro steps as a function of the junction parameters and microwave power and frequency. Our calculation results indicate that the suppression of odd-integer Shapiro steps, i.e., evidence of the fractional ac Josephson effect, is enhanced significantly by the increase in the junction capacitance and IcRn product as well as the decrease in the microwave frequency even for the same portion of the 4$π$-periodic supercurrent. Our study provides the optimal conditions for observing the fractional ac Josephson effect; furthermore, our new model can be used to precisely quantify the topological supercurrent from the experimental data of topological JJs.

Surface ozone (O3) is detrimental and can pose several health problems to humans, such as increased number of and intensity of asthma attacks. Considering this, it is important that these ozone levels be monitored. While municipal air quality monitors are present in cities like Boulder, Colorado, these monitors often only consider regional-scale analysis, neglecting the variability of compounds, such as ozone or carbon monoxide, over smaller distances. Small-scale (approximately 1 kilometer) spatial variability in ozone is important because humans experience these small scales on a daily basis. Using low-cost air quality monitors (“pods”) developed at the University of Colorado-Boulder, we assessed small-scale spatial variability of surface ozone in Boulder, Colorado by placing clusters of 4-5 pods within ~1 km of each other at two sites in the city: South Boulder Creek and the University of Colorado-Boulder. Pods were left in their positions for one to two weeks allowing for observation of ozone trends. As hypothesized, higher ozone levels were detected during the afternoon hours. Also, the pod located closest to the roadway (Colorado 93) had the largest range of ozone data, which is consistent with its proximity to ozone precursor emission sources. Finally, it was determined that the differences in the pods' ozone levels at South Boulder Creek were statistically significant implying that ozone levels do in fact vary over small spatial scales and should be monitored.

description: The complexity of regulations governing investigator-initiated trials (IITs) places a great burden on hospitals. Consequently, many hospitals seek to alleviate regulatory pressures by seeking an alternative quality management system (QMS). This paper takes the Netherlands as a case. To investigate how QMSs for IITs are organized in Dutch hospitals, we adopted the theoretical concepts of mentoring and monitoring in a mixed methods study in the period 2014–2018. In clinical practice and international guidelines, monitoring is seen as the standard quality assurance for ongoing trials. However, hospitals have implemented monitoring programs that resemble mentoring. The contrast between these ideal types is less pronounced in practice as both combine elements of compliance and feedback for learning in practice. In a monitoring setting, learning is one-way, from monitor to researcher; whereas mentoring focuses on mutual support and learning. To tackle problems in each system, the authority of the Board of Directors (BoD) and the BoD’s relationship with staff members are crucial. We discuss the challenges that BoD and staff face in keeping an integrated view of the various components of QMSs.

description: We report on the results of a new spectroscopic monitoring campaign of the quasar PG 0026+129 at the Calar Alto Observatory 2.2m telescope from July 2017 to February 2020. Significant variations in the fluxes of the continuum and broad-emission lines, including H$β$ and He II, were observed in the first and third years, and clear time lags between them are measured. The broad H$β$ line profile consists of two Gaussian components: an intermediate-width H$β_{\rm IC}$ with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 1964$\pm$18 $\rm km~s^{-1}$ and another very broad H$β_{\rm VBC}$ with a FWHM of 7570$\pm$83 $\rm km~s^{-1}$. H$β_{\rm IC}$ has long time lags of $\sim$40--60 days in the rest frame, while H$β_{\rm VBC}$ shows nearly zero time delay with respect to the optical continuum at 5100 Å. The velocity-resolved delays show consistent results: lags of $\sim$30--50 days at the core of the broad H$β$ line and roughly zero lags at the wings. H$β_{\rm IC}$ has a redshift of $\sim$400 $\rm km~s^{-1}$ which seems to be stable for nearly 30 years by comparing with archived spectra, and may originate from an infall. The root mean square (rms) spectrum of H$β_{\rm VBC}$ shows a double-peaked profile with brighter blue peak and extended red wing in the first year, which matches the signature of a thin disk. Both the double-peaked profile and the near-zero lag suggest that H$β_{\rm VBC}$ comes from a region associated with the part of the accretion disc that emits the optical continuum. Adopting the FWHM (in the rms spectrum) and the time lag measured for the total H$β$ line, and a virial factor of 1.5, we obtain a virial mass of $2.89_{-0.69}^{+0.60} \times10^7 M_{\odot}$ for the central black hole in this quasar.

Links between the Hadley Circulation and Oxygen Minimum Zones

This research aimed to find links between the projected changes in oceanic oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) and the Hadley Circulation (HC). OMZs are regions of very low oxygen concentrations. Latitudinal ocean oxygen slices place the OMZs in the eastern edges of ocean basins. Recent research suggests that the HC circulation is composed of three regional cells instead of the two globe-encircling cells previously thought to be the case. These three cells are co-located with OMZs along the eastern edges of ocean basins. The HC and OMZs are expected to expand in concert with global warming, which will have many consequences. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Earth System Model 1.0 (CESM), Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 experiment with a resolution of 0.9 by 1.25 degrees was used for this analysis. It was run via the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5), and the data was retrieved from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) community storage server. NCAR Command Language (NCL) was used for analysis. Meridional winds and oceanic oxygen concentrations, and sea surface temperatures were the primarily analyzed variables. Meridional winds overlayed with oxygen concentration are suggestive of links between the surface Hadleywise flow and OMZs. Area-averaged historical through RCP8.5 time series to 2100 indicate that future changes in OMZs and the HC may be connected. Establishing relationships between the variables may increase our understanding of the responsible mechanisms.

Benthic foraminifera along a depth transect in eastern Bahrain: seasonal variations and environmental assessment
Creators: name: Arslan, Muhammad
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: We surveyed living benthic foraminifera in a depth transect off eastern Bahrain (Arabian Gulf) with the aim of understanding the seasonal population dynamics and environmental parameters. In winter, the population was found to be highest due to the large number of rotaliids, followed by miliolids. In each season, the population was found to increase along the depth transect due to the higher number of juveniles. A strong correlation is observed between foraminiferal population and sediment grain size – the juveniles are most abundant on coarser sandy substrate. The population decreases in the spring and is lowest in the summer. Finally, the living population recovered again in the autumn with increasing juveniles/adult ratios along the depth transect. Results of species consistency and relative abundance showed that Ammonia was consistent from the shallowest to the deepest station, whereas miliolids started appearing in the deeper stations. The average numbers of Elphidium and Peneroplis also increased along the depth transect. Another seasonal effect is that juveniles of Ammonia tepida are found during each season reflecting its reproduction throughout the year, whereas Brizalina pacifica was only found during spring and autumn. The study of environmental parameters reveals that the site is subjected to eutrophication i.e. nitrates and sulfates, however, pollution by heavy metals and hydrocarbons is not significant. An assessment of 63 heavy metals in sediment samples showed that none of the metals had concentrations higher than the internationally accepted norms, which is further confirmed by values of the Foraminiferal Deformities Index of less than 2%. Likewise, no hydrocarbons were detected in the water or sediment samples. Therefore, it is concluded that the site in Bahrain is not yet adversely affected by human development, and therefore can provide baseline information for future comparison and assessment of foraminiferal assemblages in contaminated zones of the Arabian Gulf.

description: Domain walls in U(N) gauge theories, coupled to Higgs scalar fields with degenerate masses, are shown to possess normalizable non-Abelian Nambu-Goldstone(NG) modes, which we call non-Abelian clouds. We construct the moduli space metric and its Kahler potential of the effective field theory on the domain walls, by focusing on two models: a U(1) gauge theory with several charged Higgs fields, and a U(N) gauge theory with 2N Higgs fields in the fundamental representation. We find that non-Abelian clouds spread between two domain walls and that their rotation induces long-range repulsive force, in contrast to a U(1) mode in models with fully non-degenerate masses which gives short-range force. We also construct a bound state of dyonic domain walls by introducing the imaginary part of the Higgs masses. In the latter model we find that when all walls coincide SU(N)_L x SU(N)_R x U(1) symmetry is broken down to SU(N)_V, and U(N)_A NG modes and the same number of quasi-NG modes are localized on the wall. When n walls separate, off diagonal elements of U(n) NG modes have wave functions spreading between two separated walls (non-Abelian clouds), whereas some quasi-NG modes turn to NG bosons as a result of further symmetry breaking U(n)_V --> U(1)_V^n. In the case of 4+1 dimensional bulk, we can dualize the effective theory to the supersymmetric Freedman-Townsend model of non-Abelian 2-form fields.

Publisher: name: F1000Research

description: Persistent post-surgical pain represents a major, largely unrecognised clinical problem. In chronic pain of non-surgical origin, psychological, social, and economic factors play a major part. A combined scoring system based on age, sex, type of surgery, extent of preoperative pain, and level of anxiety has been developed in an attempt to predict the severity of early postoperative pain.

The aim of our work is to identify pre-operative risk factors that appear to increase the probability of chronic postoperative pain. Before surgery all of the patients had done psychological tests (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) MMPI and (Emotions Profile Index) PIE for personality assessment. Based on the MMPI and PIE personality assessment test before surgery, it was found that over 75% were frightened and agitated patients.

Adaptive Sampling of 3D Spatial Correlations for Focus+Context Visualization

description: Visualizing spatial correlations in 3D ensembles is challenging due to the vast amounts of information that need to be conveyed. Memory and time constraints make it unfeasible to pre-compute and store the correlations between all pairs of domain points. We propose the embedding of adaptive correlation sampling into chord diagrams with hierarchical edge bundling to alleviate these constraints. Entities representing spatial regions are arranged along the circular chord layout via a space-filling curve, and Bayesian optimal sampling is used to efficiently estimate the maximum occurring correlation between any two points from different regions. Hierarchical edge bundling reduces visual clutter and emphasizes the major correlation structures. By selecting an edge, the user triggers a focus diagram in which only the two regions connected via this edge are refined and arranged in a specific way in a second chord layout. For visualizing correlations between two different variables, which are not symmetric anymore, we switch to showing a full correlation matrix. This avoids drawing the same edges twice with different correlation values. We introduce GPU implementations of both linear and non-linear correlation measures to further reduce the time that is required to generate the context and focus views, and to even enable the analysis of correlations in a 1000-member ensemble.

Spin nematics and magnetization plateau transition in anisotropic Kagome magnets

description: We study S=1 kagome antiferromagnets with isotropic Heisenberg exchange $J$ and strong easy axis single-ion anisotropy $D$. For $D \gg J$, the low-energy physics can be described by an effective $S=1/2$ $XXZ$ model with antiferromagnetic $J_z \sim J$ and ferromagnetic $J_\perp \sim J^2/D$. Exploiting this connection, we argue that non-trivial ordering into a "spin-nematic" occurs whenever $D$ dominates over $J$, and discuss its experimental signatures. We also study a magnetic field induced transition to a magnetization plateau state at magnetization 1/3 which breaks lattice translation symmetry due to ordering of the $S^z$ and occupies a lobe in the $B/J_z$-$J_z/J_\perp$ phase diagram.

description: In collision-poor space plasmas protons with an excess of kinetic energy or temperature in direction perpendicular to background magnetic field can excite the electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) instability. This instability is expected to be highly sensitive to suprathermal protons, which enhance the high-energy tails of the observed velocity distributions and are well reproduced by the (bi-)Kappa distribution functions. In this paper we present the results of a refined quasilinear (QL) approach, able to describe the effects of suprathermal protons on the extended temporal evolution of EMIC instability. It is thus shown that suprathermals have a systematic stimulating effect on the EMIC instability, enhancing not only the growth rates and the range of unstable wave-numbers, but also the magnetic fluctuating energy density reached at the saturation. In effect, the relaxation of anisotropic temperature becomes also more efficient, i.e., faster in time and closer to isotropy.

description: Superconducting junctions are widely used in multitude of applications ranging from quantum information science and sensing to solid-state cooling. Traditionally, such devices must be fabricated on flat substrates using standard lithographic techniques. In this study, we demonstrate a highly versatile method that allows for superconducting junctions to be fabricated on a more complex topography. It is based on maskless direct laser writing (DLW) two-photon lithography, which allows writing in 3D space. We show that high-quality normal metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions can be fabricated on top of a 20 $μ$m tall three-dimensional topography. Combined with more advanced resist coating methods, this technique could allow sub-micron device fabrication on almost any type of topography in the future.

description: The prevalence of moderate or severe pain in the first 24 hours post-surgery can exceed 40% despite the presence of an acute pain management protocol. Regional anesthesia is becoming a major trend nowadays in many types of surgeries due to many potential benefits. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal analgesia procedure after total hip arthroplasty in the early postoperative period.

Consequences of uncontrolled pain can lead to myocardial ischemia and infarctions, pulmonary infections, paralytic ileus, urinary retention, thrombo-embolisms, impaired immune functions, as well as anxiety. In addition, inadequate control of pain may result in patient dissatisfaction, impaired patient rehabilitation, and prolonged hospitalizations. The negative influence of postoperative pain on rehabilitation is particularly concerning for patients undergoing joint replacement. The protocols of multimodal analgesia used for acute pain management after total hip arthroplasty provide an adequate postoperative pain control in a high percentage of patients, mainly when regional anesthesia techniques are used.

description: The small footprint of semiconductor qubits is favourable for scalable quantum computing. However, their size also makes them sensitive to their local environment and variations in gate structure. Currently, each device requires tailored gate voltages to confine a single charge per quantum dot, clearly challenging scalability. Here, we tune these gate voltages and equalize them solely through the temporary application of stress voltages. In a double quantum dot, we reach a stable (1,1) charge state at identical and predetermined plunger gate voltage and for various interdot couplings. Applying our findings, we tune a 2$\times$2 quadruple quantum dot such that the (1,1,1,1) charge state is reached when all plunger gates are set to 1 V. The ability to define required gate voltages may relax requirements on control electronics and operations for spin qubit devices, providing means to advance quantum hardware.

Hazardous weather events have the greatest impact when they are not accurately forecasted. The quest for advanced lead times of accurate forecasts has motivated the improvement of numerical weather prediction models. Stemming from successful hourly updated forecasting by the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model, the High Resolution Rapid Refresh Ensemble (HRRRE) utilizes ensemble data assimilation for improved convective scale forecasts. HRRRE and other CAM guidance skill can vary widely in different weather regimes. Convective forcing is hypothesized to influence forecast skill and CAM ensemble variance. Understanding the correlation between forcing and ensemble skill/variance has the potential to enhance the future HRRRE ensemble design. To study this relationship, an objective measure of convective forcing is required. This study developed the Reflectivity Convective Forcing Categorization (RCFC), a quantitative method to categorize convective forcing using Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) composite reflectivity observations. Both reflectivity coverage and rate of change of reflectivity were examined for the months of May and June 2016 utilizing RCFC. Several events exemplifying strong and weak forcing regimes were qualitatively analyzed using Storm Prediction Center (SPC) mesoscale analyses, upper air maps, and surface analyses, to verify the RCFC method. Findings include strongly forced days having a greater reflectivity rate of change and coverage than weakly forced days. The RCFC results enable the correlation between convective forcing and HRRRE ensemble variance/skill to be examined in the future, facilitating HRRRE improvements.
Dilution Effects in Two-dimensional Quantum Orbital System

description: We study dilution effects in a Mott insulating state with quantum orbital degree of freedom, termed the two-dimensional orbital compass model. This is a quantum and two-dimensional version of the orbital model where the interactions along different bond directions cause frustration between different orbital configurations. A long-range correlation of a kind of orbital at each row or column, termed the directional order, is studied by means of the quantum Monte-Carlo method. It is shown that decrease of the ordering temperature due to dilution is much stronger than that in spin models. Quantum effect enhances the effective dimensionality in the system and makes the directional order robust against dilution. We discuss an essential mechanism of the dilute orbital systems.

description: We develop a density functional treatment of non-interacting abelian anyons, which is capable, in principle, of dealing with a system of a large number of anyons in an external potential. Comparison with exact results for few particles shows that the model captures the behavior qualitatively and semi-quantitatively, especially in the vicinity of the fermionic statistics. We then study anyons with statistics parameter $1+1/n$, which are thought to condense into a superconducting state. An indication of the superconducting behavior is the mean-field result that, for uniform density systems, the ground state energy increases under the application of an external magnetic field independent of its direction. Our density-functional-theory based analysis does not find that to be the case for finite systems of anyons, which can accommodate a weak external magnetic field through density transfer between the bulk and the boundary rather than through transitions across effective Landau levels, but the "Meissner repulsion" of the external magnetic field is recovered in the thermodynamic limit as the effect of the boundary becomes negligible. We also consider the quantum Hall effect of anyons, and show that its topological properties, such as the charge and statistics of the excitations and the quantized Hall conductance, arise in a self-consistent fashion.

description: We study the natural representation of the topological full group of an ample Hausdorff groupoid in the groupoid's complex Steinberg algebra and in its full and reduced C*-algebras. We characterise precisely when this representation is injective and show that it is rarely surjective. We then restrict our attention to discrete groupoids, which provide unexpected insight into the behaviour of the representation of the topological full group in the full and reduced groupoid C*-algebras. We show that the image of the representation is not dense in the full groupoid C*-algebra unless the groupoid is a group, and we provide an example showing that the image of the representation may still be dense in the reduced groupoid C*-algebra even when the groupoid is not a group.
