description: We report optical and infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations that identify the counterpart to the 358.6-s X-ray transient pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545 with a moderately reddened V=14.2 B0Ve star. This identification makes SAX J2103.5+4545 the Be/X-ray binary with the shortest orbital period known, Porb= 12.7 days. The amount of absorption to the system has been estimated to be Av=4.2+-0.3, which for such an early-type star implies a distance of about 6.5 kpc. The optical spectra reveal major and rapid changes in the strength and shape of the Halpha line. The Halpha line was initially observed as a double peak profile with the ratio of the intensities of the blue over the red peak greater than one (V/R > 1). Two weeks later this ratio reversed (V/R< 1). Subsequently, in less than a month, the emission ceased and Halpha appeared in absorption. This fast spectral variability is interpreted within the viscous decretion disc model and demonstrates the significant role of the neutron star on the evolution of the circumstellar disc around the Be star. The implications of the small orbit and moderate eccentricity on the spin period of the neutron star are discussed.

description: Wertet man die mittlere Höhenlage der Karböden und die Exposition der voll ausgebildeten Kare graphisch aus, so ergibt sich eine klare Gliederung der Kare von Vogesen und Schwarzwald in eine Reihe untereinander vergleichbarer Gruppen. Diese vier Kargruppen a—d lassen sich den bekannten Würm-Gletscherständen des Südschwarzwaldes (Würm-Maximum, Titisee, Zipfelhof und Feldsee) parallelisieren. Als Ergebnis kann man nicht nur datieren, wann die Kare selbst letztmals voll vergletschert waren, sondern man kann auch die übrigen, mit diesen Karen in Zusammenhang stehenden Gletscherstände einordnen. Für den Nördlichen Schwarzwald konnte so bereits die Vereisungsgeschichte der Kare und Täler ab dem Würm-Maximum geklärt werden. Für die übrigen Teilgebiete reicht das vorhandene Material noch nicht aus, es läßt sich aber bereits ablesen, wo etwa nach bisher noch nicht bekannten Moränen gesucht werden sollte.

Gender-Sensitive Procedures in Substance Abuse Treatment: Associated Costs and Effectiveness
Creators: name: Hornack, Sarah E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Gender-sensitive (GS) treatment refers to specific practices that are thought to make drug treatment more helpful for women, such as parent training or trauma-focused therapy. The implementation of these practices is seen as important due to the unique challenges women face in substance abuse treatment. The current investigation examines 13 mixed-gender, intensive inpatient programs (IIPs) that varied in gender sensitivity. The costs of gender-sensitive treatment, including monetary and non-monetary resources invested, were determined. Ratios and graphical analyses compared the resources contributed by patients and providers to the outcome variable at both individual and programmatic levels. The outcome variable of interest is the number of days to treatment re-entry, assuming that more treatment-free days after discharge from IIP treatment is a positive result. It was expected that programs with greater gender sensitivity will require more patient and provider resources, while also providing more effective treatment, as measured by women's treatment re-entry. Results indicated that gender-sensitive treatment does cost more, but is no differences were indicated in effectiveness or cost-effectiveness. However, the cost of providing gender-sensitive treatment services is minimal, with median values ranging from $1.25 and $2.99 per treatment-free day. With improvements to outcome measurement and an increased sample, further research on the cost-effectiveness of gender-sensitive treatment may arrive at different conclusions.

Neuester Stand der Quartärforschung in Neuguinea

description: Die eiszeitlichen Klimaschwankungen führten auch auf Neuguinea zu einer beachtlichen Vergletscherung der Hochgebirge, und rund 2000 km² waren von Eis bedeckt. Die eiszeitliche Schneegrenze lag bei ungefähr 3550 m, aber es gab einige Schwankungen aufgrund lokaler klimatischer Verhältnisse oder in einem Fall wegen tektonischer Ereignisse. Der älteste Nachweis für das Vorhandensein eines Gletschers ist ein Palagonit, der etwa 700 000 Jahre alt ist, und der entstand, als am Mt. Giluwe eine vulkanische Eruption von Lava unter Eis stattfand. Die Datierung ist allerdings mit einem großen Unsicherheitsfaktor verbunden. Eine weitere Episode vulkanischer Aktivität und Gletscherbildung konnte für die Zeit um 300 000 a.B.P. nachgewiesen werden. Die letzte Vereisung war fast überall die ausgedehnteste und ihr Maximum wurde zwischen 18500 und 16000 a B.P. erreicht, sie entspricht also der Würm-Vereisung. Ab etwa 15000 a B.P. setzte der Gletscherrückzug ein, und um 10000—9000 a B.P. waren die Gletscher verschwunden, wahrscheinlich auch dort, wo heute wieder kleinere Gletscher vorhanden sind. Diese entstanden nach 5000 a B.P. Die Rekonstruktion des letzteiszeitlichen Klimas ist mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden, da glazialmorphologische und pollenanalytische Befunde unterschiedliche Depressionen der Höhenstufen und Temperaturen anzeigen. Der Schneegrenzdepression von 1000 m steht eine Depression der Waldgrenze von 1500 m oder mehr gegenüber und die entsprechenden Temperaturdepressionen sind 5,5° C und 10° C. Es wird argumentiert, daß die im Pollenbild nachgewiesene starke Depression der Höhenstufen möglicherweise lokale Bedingungen reflektiert und nicht eine allgemeine Temperaturabsenkung von 10° C. Die eiszeitliche Temperaturdepression hatte erstaunlich geringe Auswirkungen auf andere geomorphologische Prozesse wie Solifluktion und fluvioglaziale Vorgänge. Dies wird auf die extreme Einförmigkeit des tropischen Tageszeitenklimas zurückgeführt, das nur einen schmalen Höhensaum regelmäßiger Nachtfröste zuläßt und das Schmelzregime der Gletscher einem relativ regelmäßigen, tageszeitlichen und nicht jahreszeitlichen Zyklus unterwirft.

description: We study lepton-flavor violating slepton production and decay at a future e^+e^- linear collider in context with the seesaw mechanism in mSUGRA post-LEP benchmark scenarios. The present knowledge in the neutrino sector as well as improved future measurements are taken into account. We calculate the signal cross-sections σ(e^{+/-}e^- -> l_β^{+/-} l_α^- \tildeχ_b^0 \tildeχ_a^0); l_δ=e, μ, τ; α=|= βand estimate the main background processes. Furthermore, we investigate the correlations of these signals with the corresponding lepton-flavor violating rare decays l_α -> l_β γ. It is shown that these correlations are relatively weakly affected by uncertainties in the neutrino data, but very sensitive to the model parameters. Hence, they are particularly suited for probing the origin of lepton-flavor violation.

description: Direction dependent calibration and imaging is a vital part of producing deep, high fidelity, high-dynamic range radio images with a wide-field low-frequency array like LOFAR. Currently, state-of-the-art facet-based direction dependent calibration algorithms rely on the assumption that the isoplanatic-patch size is much larger than the separation between bright in-field calibrators. This assumption is often violated due to the dynamic nature of the ionosphere, and as a result direction dependent errors affect image quality between calibrators. In this paper we propose a probabilistic physics-informed model for inferring ionospheric phase screens, providing a calibration for all sources in the field of view. We apply our method to a randomly selected observation from the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey archive, and show that almost all direction dependent effects between bright calibrators are corrected and that the root-mean-squared residuals around bright sources is reduced by 32\% on average.

description: Ein 3,3 m langer Kern aus dem zentralen Bereich der Lagune von Venedig enthielt eine Torflage zwischen 1,3 und 2,0 m unter dem mittleren Meeresspiegel. Pollenanalysen zeigen ein Vorherrschen von Quercus und Alnus und eine transgressive Phase an: der untere Teil des Torfes (nach 14C-Daten 1730±80 v.h.) ist in einem Süßwasser-Environment gebildet worden, der obere Teil (nach 14C-Daten 1140 + 80 v.h.) in einem brackischen. Foraminiferenanalysen zeigen an, daß der Transgression eine Regression vorangegangen ist. Die gesamte Abfolge enthält von unten nach oben (Abb. 3): (1) ein oligohalines bis mesohalines Environment (von —3,3 bis —2,5 m) mit sehr zahlreichen Foraminiferen; (2) ein Süßwasser-Environment (von —2,5 bis —2,0 m); (3) die 0,7 m mächtige Torflage, die fortschreitend brackisch wird; (4) ein mesohalines Environment (oberhalb —1,3 m).Korrelationen mit benachbarten Lokalitäten (Abb. 1) weisen darauf hin, daß vergleichbare Erscheinungen zu gleicher Zeit im Zentralteil der Lagune, aber nicht in ihrem Nordteil, aufgetreten sind. Diese Regressions-Transgressions-Abfolge wird auf eine Periode erhöhter Niederschläge um das Ende der Römerzeit zurückgeführt, die zur Überflutung und zu einer Verlagerung des Laufes zahlreicher Flüsse geführt hat; dabei ist das ökologische Gleichgewicht dieses Marschengebietes zeitweilig verändert worden. Im Verlauf der vergangenen 100 Jahre hat sich die Transgression beschleunigt, überwiegend infolge anthropogener Eingriffe. Die „Barene" werden jetzt erodiert und verschwinden rasch (Abb. 2).

Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Temporal Stability of the Caffeine Expectancy Questionnaire (CaffEQ)
Creators: name: Huntley, Edward D.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Caffeine is the most widely consumed behaviorally active drug in the world, yet little is known about the expectancies consumers have about its effects. In a series of prior studies, we assessed self-reported expectancies for caffeine among caffeine consumers and non-consumers to identify the nature and scope of caffeine expectancies and to develop a valid and reliable seven factor caffeine expectancy questionnaire (CaffEQ). In the present study the CaffEQ was administered to 665 participants to evaluate the fit of the hypothesized seven factor CaffEQ. Associations between CaffEQ factors and caffeine exposure, frequency of caffeine use, symptoms of substance dependence and caffeine administration vehicle were also accessed. The CaffEQ was readministered to 440 (66.2%) of the original sample approximately two weeks later to assess the temporal stability of the CaffEQ factors. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the seven factor solution indicating good model fit and test-retest reliability. The frequency and quantity of caffeine use was associated with greater expectancies for Withdrawal/Dependence, Energy/Work Enhancement, Appetite Suppression, Social/Mood Enhancement, and Physical Performance Enhancement and lower expectancies for Anxiety/Negative Physical Effects and Sleep Disturbance, with the largest effects observed in the Withdrawal/Dependence scale. Caffeine expectancies predicted various features of substance dependence (e.g., use despite harm, withdrawal incidence and severity, perceived difficulty stopping use, tolerance) as well as latency to consume caffeine after waking. Expectancies for caffeine consumed via coffee were stronger than for caffeine consumed via soft drinks. The CaffEQ demonstrates good reliability and construct validity, and should facilitate the advancement of our knowledge of caffeine and drug use in general.

description: This study characterised the relationship between speech intelligibility and quality in listeners with hearing loss for a range of hearing-aid processing settings and acoustic conditions. Binaural speech intelligibility scores and quality ratings were measured for sentences presented in babble noise and processed through a hearing-aid simulation. The intelligibility–quality relationship was investigated by (1) assessing the effects of experimental conditions on each task; (2) directly comparing intelligibility scores and quality ratings for each participant across the range of conditions; and (3) comparing the association between signal envelope fidelity (represented by a cepstral correlation metric) and intelligibility and quality. Participants were 15 adults (7 females; age range 59–81 years) with mild to moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss. Intelligibility and quality showed a positive association both with each other and with changes to signal fidelity introduced by the entire acoustic and signal-processing system including the additive noise and the hearing-aid output. As signal fidelity decreased, quality ratings changed at a slower rate than intelligibility scores. Individual psychometric functions were more variable for quality compared to intelligibility. Variability in the intelligibility–quality relationship reinforces the importance of measuring both intelligibility and quality in clinical hearing-aid fittings.

description: The minimum Renyi and Wehrl output entropies are found for bosonic channels in which the signal photons are either randomly displaced by a Gaussian distribution (classical-noise channel), or in which they are coupled to a thermal environment through lossy propagation (thermal-noise channel). It is shown that the Renyi output entropies of integer orders z>1 and the output Wehrl entropy are minimized when the channel input is a coherent state.

description: A pilot-exploratory study involving the selected islands of Dominica, Montserrat, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent was conducted during 1985/86. This study focused upon the components of agricultural marketing communication infrastructure and on the organizational and specialization technologies employed by the farmer sector. Data collected were analyzed to assess the extent of production-market development, the patterns of development needs in production and marketing among the selected islands, and factors which could support or inhibit the introduction of service and/or system change. Primary data were collected via surveys and interviews with representatives of government agencies, corporations, private agencies, field experts, and individual farmers. The analysis employs a social network perspective as an overlay for discussing agronomic practices, processing, marketing, and sector services in the context of Existing and potential operation models.

description: To measure rate of subscription of common sleep medication and diagnoses of substance use disorder (SUD) before and after receiving a prescribed weighted blanket (WB) among patients with psychiatric diagnoses. Using register-based data of health-related factors in a Swedish region, a total of 1785 adult individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis, received a WB and resided in the region during the study period were identified. Using each individual as their own control, the rate of one-year prior prescription of WB or diagnosed SUD was compared to rate after a half year wash-out after prescription of WB for a full year. The number of patients without prescription of sleep medication increased by 3.3% (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.2–6.4, p=.04). Furthermore, the proportion without a prescription of benzodiazepine receptor agonist/antihistamines sleep medication increased by 5.5% (95%CI: 2.2–8.8, p=.001). Melatonin prescription increased after WB by 3.6% (95%CI: 1.1–6.2, p=.006). Younger age and unipolar-, anxiety-, attention-deficit/hyperactivity-, and post-traumatic stress disorder was associated with decreased use while psychotic-/bipolar- and personality disorder was not associated with a decrease in the use of sleep medication. The number of alcohol SUD diagnoses did not increase while sedative SUD rate increased statistically significantly by 0.7% (odds ratio = 1.63, p=.02). In a multivariate model, only younger age predicted discontinuation of sleep medication while psychotic-/bipolar- and personality disorder had statistically less decrease. This observational register study found a statistically significant association between WB use and decreased use of common sleep medication except melatonin that increased slightly.

description: Households have several ways to economize on their purchases at retail food stores when prices increase or their incomes fall. This report investigates a household’s choice among retail fluid milk products categorized along three dimensions: three levels of fat content, two levels of package size, and organic versus conventional methods of production. Nielsen Homescan data from 2007-08 are used to estimate a choice model, which accounts for price, income, and other choice determinants. Results show that small changes in prices and income have a modest impact on a household’s choice among milk products. However, households mitigate the impact of more substantial price and income shocks by switching from more expensive to less expensive products. We also find that the demand for organic milk is more sensitive to swings in income and food prices than is demand for conventional milk.

description: De novo therapeutic design is challenged by a vast chemical repertoire and multiple constraints, e.g., high broad-spectrum potency and low toxicity. We propose CLaSS (Controlled Latent attribute Space Sampling) - an efficient computational method for attribute-controlled generation of molecules, which leverages guidance from classifiers trained on an informative latent space of molecules modeled using a deep generative autoencoder. We screen the generated molecules for additional key attributes by using deep learning classifiers in conjunction with novel features derived from atomistic simulations. The proposed approach is demonstrated for designing non-toxic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with strong broad-spectrum potency, which are emerging drug candidates for tackling antibiotic resistance. Synthesis and testing of only twenty designed sequences identified two novel and minimalist AMPs with high potency against diverse Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including one multidrug-resistant and one antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae, via membrane pore formation. Both antimicrobials exhibit low in vitro and in vivo toxicity and mitigate the onset of drug resistance. The proposed approach thus presents a viable path for faster and efficient discovery of potent and selective broad-spectrum antimicrobials.

description: Telecommunication can be difficult in the presence of noise or hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to systematically review evidence regarding the effects of text supplementation (e.g. captions, subtitles) of auditory or auditory-visual signals on speech intelligibility for listeners with normal or impaired hearing. Three databases were searched. Articles were evaluated for inclusion based on the Population Intervention Comparison Outcome framework. The Effective Public Health Practice Project instrument was used to evaluate the quality of the identified articles. After duplicates were removed, the titles and abstracts of 2019 articles were screened. Forty-six full texts were reviewed; ten met inclusion criteria. The quality of all ten articles was moderate or strong. The articles demonstrated that text added to auditory (or auditory-visual) signals improved speech intelligibility and that the benefits were largest when auditory signal integrity was low, accuracy of the text was high, and the auditory signal and text were synchronous. Age and hearing loss did not affect benefits from the addition of text. Although only based on ten studies, these data support the use of text as a supplement during telecommunication, such as while watching television or during telehealth appointments.

In a series of prior studies, we assessed self-reported expectancies for caffeine among caffeine consumers and non-consumers to identify the nature and scope of caffeine expectancies and to develop a valid and reliable seven factor caffeine expectancy questionnaire (CaffEQ). In the present study the CaffEQ was administered to 665 participants to evaluate the fit of the hypothesized seven factor CaffEQ. Associations between CaffEQ factors and caffeine exposure, frequency of caffeine use, symptoms of substance dependence and caffeine administration vehicle were also accessed. The CaffEQ was readministered to 440 (66.2%) of the original sample approximately two weeks later to assess the temporal stability of the CaffEQ factors. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the seven factor solution indicating good model fit and test-retest reliability. The frequency and quantity of caffeine use was associated with greater expectancies for Withdrawal/Dependence, Energy/Work Enhancement, Appetite Suppression, Social/Mood Enhancement, and Physical Performance Enhancement and lower expectancies for Anxiety/Negative Physical Effects and Sleep Disturbance, with the largest effects observed in the Withdrawal/Dependence scale. Caffeine expectancies predicted various features of substance dependence (e.g., use despite harm, withdrawal incidence and severity, perceived difficulty stopping use, tolerance) as well as latency to consume caffeine after waking. Expectancies for caffeine consumed via coffee were stronger than for caffeine consumed via soft drinks. The CaffEQ demonstrates good reliability and construct validity, and should facilitate the advancement of our knowledge of caffeine and drug use in general.

description: Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is known to include problems relating to nutrition, information about nutritional behavior, caregiver feeding styles, and anthropometric measurements is still limited. We aimed to assess the nutritional behavior, anthropometric measurements, and caregiver feeding styles of children with ASD. One hundred and four children with ASD and 100 controls were enrolled in the study. Children’s weight and height were measured and recorded by the researchers. The Children’s Eating Behavior Questionnaire, Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire, Development Assessment Form, and Sociodemographic Data Form were conducted by their caregivers. Children with ASD were difficult to feed as babies, experienced more problems in the transition to supplementary food, were more selective about food, and were fed diets with a more limited variety than the control group. The BMI z-scores for children with ASD were higher than those for children without ASD, while their height z-scores were lower. Children with ASD displayed more responsiveness to food, emotional overeating, enjoyment of food, desire for drinks, emotional undereating, and food selectivity behaviors, while the parents of these children were found to use more emotional feeding, instrumental feeding, and tolerance-controlled feeding styles than the parents of the controls. Children with ASD are more selective about foods and have greater difficulty in switching to supplementary food. The BMI-z score for children with ASD is higher and the height-z score is lower. Children with ASD have different eating and feeding styles compared to children in the control group.

description: We measure the branching fraction for the charmless semi-inclusive process B -> eta' X_s, where the eta' meson has a momentum in the range 2.0 to 2.7 GeV/c in the Upsilon(4S) center-of-mass frame and X_s represents a system comprising a kaon and zero to four pions. We find B(B -> eta' X_s)=(3.9+/-0.8(stat)+/-0.5(syst)+/-0.8(model)).10^{-4}. We also obtain the X_s mass distribution and find that it tends to favor models predicting high masses.

description: Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC) and nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation (NHQC) have been proposed to reduce the run time of geometric quantum gates. However, in terms of robustness against experimental control errors, the existing NGQC and NHQC scenarios have no advantage over standard dynamical gates in most cases. Here, we give the reasons why nonadiabatic geometric gates are sensitive to the control errors and, further, we propose a scheme of super-robust nonadiabatic geometric quantum control, in which the super-robust condition can guarantee both high speed and robustness of the geometric gate. To illustrate the working mechanism of super-robust geometric quantum gates, we give two simple examples of SR-NGQC and SR-NHQC for two- and three-level quantum systems, respectively. Theoretical and numerical results with the experimental parameters indicate that our scheme can significantly improve the gate performance compared to the previous NGQC, NHQC, and standard dynamical schemes. Super-robust geometric quantum computation can be applied to various physical platforms such as superconducting qubits, quantum dots, and trapped ions. All of these sufficiently show that our scheme provides a promising way towards robust geometric quantum computation.

description: We present a quantum algorithm for approximating maximum independent sets of a graph based on quantum non-Abelian adiabatic mixing in the sub-Hilbert space of degenerate ground states, which generates quantum annealing in a secondary Hamiltonian. For both sparse and dense graphs, our quantum algorithm on average can find an independent set of size very close to $α(G)$, which is the size of the maximum independent set of a given graph $G$. Numerical results indicate that an $O(n^2)$ time complexity quantum algorithm is sufficient for finding an independent set of size $(1-ε)α(G)$. The best classical approximation algorithm can produce in polynomial time an independent set of size about half of $α(G)$.

Bayesian adjustment for exposure misclassification in case-control studies
Creators: name: Chu, Rong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Measurement error occurs frequently in observational studies investigating the relationship between exposure variables and the clinical outcome. Error-prone observations on the explanatory variable may lead to biased estimation and loss of power in detecting the impact of an exposure variable. The mechanism of measurement error, such as whether or in what way the quality of data is affected by the disease status, is seldom completely revealed to the investigators. This increases uncertainty in assessing the consequences of ignoring measurement error associated with observed data, and brings difficulties to adjustment for mismeasurement. In this study, we consider situations with a correctly specified binary response, and a misclassified binary exposure. We propose a solution to conduct Bayesian adjustment to correct for measurement error subject to varying differentiality, including the nondifferential misclassification, differential misclassification and nearly nondifferential misclassification. Our Bayesian model incorporates the randomness of exposure prevalences and misclassification parameters as prior distributions. The posterior model is constructed upon simulations generated by Gibbs sampler and Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Internal validation data is utilized to insure the resulting model is identifiable. Meanwhile, we compare the Bayesian model with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and simulation extrapolation (MC-SIMEX) methods, using simulated datasets. The Bayesian and MLE models produce accurate and similar estimates for odds ratio in describing the association between the disease and exposure, when appropriate assumptions regarding the differentially of misclassification are made. The 90% credible or confidence intervals capture the truth approximately 90% of the time. A Bayesian method corresponding to nearly nondifferential prior belief compromises between the loss of efficiency and loss of accuracy associated with other prior assumptions. At the end, we look at two case-control studies with misclassified exposure variables, and aim to make valid inference about the effect parameter.

description: Efforts to encourage Americans to improve their diets and to eat more nutritious foods presume that a wide variety of these foods are accessible to everyone. But for some Americans and in some communities, access to healthy foods may be limited. This report updates population estimates of indicators of spatial access to healthy and affordable foods in the United States using population data from the 2010 Census, income and vehicle avail- ability data from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey, and a 2010 directory of supermarkets. Spatial access to healthy and affordable food is proxied by measuring the distance to the nearest supermarket for the overall U.S. population and for subpopulations including households without vehicles, populations with low incomes, and populations that live in low-income areas. These updated data reflect recent changes in population characteristics, the economy, and the location of supermarkets. An estimated 9.7 percent of the total population, or 29.7 million people, live in low-income areas more than 1 mile from a supermarket. However, most households that are far from a supermarket have vehicles: only 1.8 percent of all households (2.1 million households) live more than 1 mile from a super- market and do not have a vehicle. Estimated distance to the nearest three supermarkets is an indicator of the choices available to consumers and the level of competition among stores. Estimates show that half of the U.S. population lives within 2 miles of three supermarkets.
