description: Background: Sub-Saharan African wetlands, settlement areas to growing populations, expose their users to diseases as necessary health infrastructure remains underdeveloped.
Methods: Mixed methods were adopted to assess the health-seeking behaviour of different exposure groups (farmers, pastoralists, service sector workers) in a Kenyan wetland community. Based on a cross-sectional survey (n = 400), syndromic surveillance was linked to health-seeking event analysis. In-depth interviews with community members (n = 20) and experts (n = 8) enabled the integration of healthcare user and provider perspectives.
Results: Health-seeking behaviour in the wetland was determined by physical/infrastructural, natural/environmental, financial/socioeconomic and social/demographic factors, as well as human/cultural aspects such as traditional preferences rooted in health beliefs. Community members had different strategies of coping with ill-health and few symptoms remained untreated. Whether via a health care facility admission, the visit of a chemist, or the intake of pharmaceuticals or medicinal plants: treatment was usually applied either via a healthcare service provider or by the community members themselves. An undersupply of easy-to-reach healthcare options was detected, and healthcare services were not available and accessible to all. The widely-practiced self-treatment of symptoms, e.g. by use of local medicinal plants, mirrors both potential healthcare gaps and cultural preferences of wetland communities.
Conclusions: Integrated into an overall health-promoting wetland management approach, widely accepted (cultural) realities of health-seeking behaviours could complement health sector service provision and help ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all in wetlands.

description: Public discourse surrounding the U.S. 2020 Presidential Election has involved the application of stereotypes of older adults, older men, and male leaders to the two main political party candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Thus, the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election offers a unique opportunity to examine how endorsement of stereotypes of older adults, older men, and male leaders impact expectations of the candidate's job performance and intentions to vote for Biden or Trump. The proposed online study will involve college students from two universities in the tri-state area (medium-sized state university, small private university) in late September until Election Day. This study aims to test two models: (1) a model that predicts greater intentions to vote for Biden, and (2) a model that predicts greater intentions to vote for Trump. In each model, we examine the relationship between (a) stereotypes that have been applied to each candidate in public discourse (i.e., regarding older adults, male leadership, and older male stereotypes) with (b) expectations of that candidate’s performance as next president, which then lead to (c) a voting stance of different degrees of being pro-Biden, anti-Biden, pro-Trump, and/or anti-Trump, which ultimately lead to (d) greater intentions to vote for one candidate over the other candidate. In each model, we will control for political ideology, which is consistent with past research (Lytle et al., 2018) and control for gender, which is consistent with past research on voting intentions (Johnson et al., 2008).

description: Significant wave heights and wave periods obtained from field measurements in Lake Balaton, Hungary, were compared with two versions of the shallow water wave hindcasting model published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The version presented in CERC [3, 4] was found to give very good hindcasts of wave height but fall —20% low on wave period. The model presented in CERC [5] was 15-20% above the earlier version at long fetches and approximately equivalent at shorter fetches.

description: For the last few years, the amount of data has significantly increased in the companies. It is the reason why data analysis methods have to evolve to meet new demands. In this article, we introduce a practical analysis of a large database from a telecommunication operator. The problem is to segment a territory and characterize the retrieved areas owing to their inhabitant behavior in terms of mobile telephony. We have call detail records collected during five months in France. We propose a two stages analysis. The first one aims at grouping source antennas which originating calls are similarly distributed on target antennas and conversely for target antenna w.r.t. source antenna. A geographic projection of the data is used to display the results on a map of France. The second stage discretizes the time into periods between which we note changes in distributions of calls emerging from the clusters of source antennas. This enables an analysis of temporal changes of inhabitants behavior in every area of the country.

description: The purpose of this deliverable is to outline the internal and external communicative framework of Project Ô. The deliverable includes an internal and external communication analysis of the consortium, the key communication objectives based on a segmentation of target audiences in three clusters, and the key messages and means of communication employed. The main aims of Project Ô are to implement innovative “small water loops” in four demonstration sites, and to assess their efficacy and efficiency to achieve reduction of energy cost, to treat water pollutants in new ways, and to improve the quality of used water, among other specific goals. Project Ô is based on the project's successful implementation in four demonstrations sites in Italy, Israel, Spain, and Croatia. Throughout the duration of the project, communication plays a pivotal role, and thus, it must be planned, structured and organised in a way that supports its objectives.

description: One intriguing fingerprint of surface states in topological insulators is the Aharonov-Bohm effect in magnetoconductivity of nanowires. We show that surface states in nanowires of Dirac materials (bismuth, bismuth antimony, and lead tin chalcogenides) being in non-topological phase, exhibit the same effect as amendment to magnetoconductivity of the bulk states. We consider a simple model of a cylindrical nanowire, which is described by the 3D Dirac equation with a general $T$-invariant boundary condition. The boundary condition is determined by a single phenomenological parameter whose sign defines topological-like and non-topological surface states. The non-topological surface states emerge outside the gap. In longitudinal magnetic field $B$ they lead to Aharonov-Bohm amendment for the density of states and correspondingly for conductivity of the nanowire. The phase of these magnetooscillations increases with $B$ from $π$ to $2π$.

description: We study the role of helicity in the dynamics of energy transfer in a modified version of the Navier-Stokes equations with explicit breaking of the mirror symmetry. We select different set of triads participating in the dynamics on the basis of their helicity content. In particular, we remove the negative helically polarized Fourier modes at all wavenumbers except for those falling on a localized shell of wavenumber, $|{\bf k}| \sim k_m$. Changing $k_m$ to be above or below the forcing scale, $k_f$, we are able to assess the energy transfer of triads belonging to different interaction classes. We observe that when the negative helical modes are present only at wavenumber smaller than the forced wavenumbers, an inverse energy cascade develops with an accumulation of energy on a stationary helical condensate. Vice versa, when negative helical modes are present only at wavenumber larger than the forced wavenumbers, a transition from backward to forward energy transfer is observed in the regime when the minority modes become energetic enough.

description: The field of water reuse and the technologies available is developing rapidly, driven substantially by the challenges of needing to supply water for human activities when water supplies are increasingly restricted. Project Ô seeks to test small, modular and energy efficient technologies that allow water reuse or enable use of alternative water sources within various contexts. The framework suggested here encapsulates key aspects of such projects. It will be used within the development of the collaborative platform to support the flow of information required for successful projects using these small scale newly developing technologies. Linear value chains dominate the economy, and this is also true for water, with only 2.4% of the EUs urban wastewater being reused. Project Ô demonstrates low cost and energy efficient technologies that support the looping of water.
An Update on the Young V1298 Tau System as observed by CHEOPS, HST and Spitzer

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Young planets form a unique bridge between planet-forming protoplanetary disks and mature planets. In order to infer the internal and atmospheric structure of these young inflated planets, it becomes important to have high-precision measurements of their mass and radius. The V1298 Tau system, only a mere 23 Myrs old, is a keystone multi-planetary system hosting four transiting planets. Since the planets orbit a highly variable star, constraining the mass of the planets using radial velocities becomes a challenge. In such a scenario, using transit-timing variations (TTVs) provides another avenue to constrain the mass of the planets. In this poster, I will present high-precision transit observations of the first three planets in the V1298 Tau system using the CHEOPS telescope. I will provide an insight into the data analysis methodology used to encounter the unique systematics of CHEOPS. I will also briefly discuss the decorrelation methods used to tackle stellar variability evident in the observations. Finally, I will present the improvement in the transit parameters of the three young planets, place these observations in the context of HST and Spitzer observations of this system, and how these observations will help in constraining the mass of the planets using TTV models. Furthermore, I will discuss the implications of these measurements in terms of formation and early evolution of sub-Neptune planets.
Do We Detect the Galactic Feedback Material in X-ray Observations of Nearby Galaxies? - A Case Study of NGC 5866

description: One of the major sources of X-ray emitting hot gas around galaxies is the feedback from supernovae (SNe), but most of this metal-enriched feedback material is often not directly detected in X-ray observations. This missing galactic feedback problem is extremely prominent in early-type galaxy bulges where there is little cool gas to make the SNe ejecta radiate at lower temperature beyond the X-ray domain. We herein present a deep Suzaku observation of an S0 galaxy NGC5866, which is relatively rich in molecular gas as an S0 galaxy and shows significant evidence of cool-hot gas interaction. By jointly analyzing the Suzaku and an archival Chandra data, we measure the Fe/O abundance ratio to be $7.63_{-5.52}^{+7.28}$ relative to solar values. This abundance ratio is much higher than those of spiral galaxies, and even among the highest ones of S0 and elliptical galaxies. NGC5866 also simultaneously has the highest Fe/O abundance ratio and molecular gas mass among a small sample of gas-poor early-type galaxies. An estimation of the Fe budget indicates that NGC5866 could preserve a larger than usual fraction, but far from the total amount of Fe injected by Type Ia SNe. We also find that the hot gas temperature increases from inner to outer halos, with the inner halo has a temperature of ~0.25keV, clearly lower than that expected from Type Ia SNe heating. This low temperature could be most naturally explained by additional cooling processes related to the cool-hot gas interaction as being indicated by the existence of many extraplanar dusty filaments. Our results indicate that the large cool gas content and the presence of cool-hot gas interaction in the inner region of NGC5866 have significantly reduced the specific energy of the SN ejecta and so the velocity of galactic outflow. The galaxy could thus preserve a considerable fraction of metal-enriched feedback material from being blown out.

Toward Return to Duty Decision-Making After Military Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Preliminary Validation of the Charge of Quarters Duty Test
Creators: name: McCulloch, Karen

Year: 2018
Subjects: Soldiers

description: Determining duty-readiness after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) remains a priority of the United States Department of Defense as warfighters in both deployed and non-deployed settings continue to sustain these injuries in relatively large numbers. Warfighters with mTBI may experience unresolved sensorimotor, emotional, cognitive sequelae including problems with executive functions, a category of higher order cognitive processes that enable people to regulate goal-directed behavior. Persistent mTBI sequelae interfere with warfighters’ proficiency in performing military duties and signal the need for graded return to activity and possibly rehabilitative services. Although significant strides have been carried out in recent years to enhance the identification and management of mTBI in garrison (EXORD 165–13) and deployed settings (EXORD 242–11; DoDI 6,490.11), the Department of Defense still lacks reliable, valid, and clinically feasible functional assessments to help inform duty-readiness decisions. Traditional functional assessments lack face validity for warfighters and may have ceiling effects, especially as related to executive functions. Performance-based multitasking assessments have been shown to be sensitive to executive dysfunction after acquired brain injury but no multitasking assessments have been validated in adults with mTBI. Existing multitasking assessments are not ecologically valid relative to military contexts. A multidisciplinary military–civilian team of researchers developed and evaluated a performance-based assessment called the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance. One of the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance multitasks, the Charge of Quarters Duty Test (CQDT), was designed to challenge the divided attention, foresight, and planning dimensions of executive functions. Here, we report on the preliminary validation results of the CQDT.

description: This deliverable is a study of the current linear water economic model, identifying the
 weaknesses and opportunities in the water value chain. It focuses on Project Ô demonstration sites,
 identifying how the project’s approach and solutions could be beneficial for improving the
 efficiency of water systems and for enhancing circularity. The deliverable therefore provides the baseline situation in terms of the current linear value chains and the business context within which these value chains have developed. It identifies the challenges of transitioning to a circular economy for the water sector and identifies opportunities that might exist to enable change of the current linear value chain. The document finally looks at circular economy frameworks that could be used to support the outputs of Project Ô. Project Ô aims to demonstrate that small loops of water management can play a role in
 alleviating the intense pressures on water resources.

description: The millimeter wave (mmWave) band, which is a prime candidate for 5G cellular networks, seems attractive for wireless energy harvesting. This is because it will feature large antenna arrays as well as extremely dense base station (BS) deployments. The viability of mmWave for energy harvesting though is unclear, due to the differences in propagation characteristics such as extreme sensitivity to building blockages. This paper considers a scenario where low-power devices extract energy and/or information from the mmWave signals. Using stochastic geometry, analytical expressions are derived for the energy coverage probability, the average harvested power, and the overall (energy-and-information) coverage probability at a typical wireless-powered device in terms of the BS density, the antenna geometry parameters, and the channel parameters. Numerical results reveal several network and device level design insights. At the BSs, optimizing the antenna geometry parameters such as beamwidth can maximize the network-wide energy coverage for a given user population. At the device level, the performance can be substantially improved by optimally splitting the received signal for energy and information extraction, and by deploying multi-antenna arrays. For the latter, an efficient low-power multi-antenna mmWave receiver architecture is proposed for simultaneous energy and information transfer. Overall, simulation results suggest that mmWave energy harvesting generally outperforms lower frequency solutions.

View transformation and novel view synthesis based on deep learning
Creators: name: Jiang, Lei
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other information and computing sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Novel View Synthesis (NVS) allows the generation of target images with different views from a single input image or multiple images while view transformation is a key intermediate step for the task. Recent years have seen an increasing interest in NVS due to its wide applications, whilst with the development of deep learning, methods of NVS based on deep learning have become mainstream. This thesis makes its efforts onto NVS with four main aspects as follows. First, extensive related works are reviewed about view transformation and NVS based on both the traditional and deep learning approaches. Second, instead of utilising vanishing points, this thesis introduces a novel deep learning based approach to automatically correct camera rotation in images, without prior knowledge of the camera pose. Specifically, a referential 3D ground plane is first derived from the RGB image through two convolution neural networks and a rotation matrix can be obtained by transforming the normal vector of the ground plane to (0, 1, 0). A novel projection mapping algorithm based on this rotation matrix is then developed to achieve automatic view transformation. Third, a novel view synthesis approach is proposed that incorporates a Neural Image Refinement Network (NIRN) and generates both depth and colour images for the target view in an end-to-end manner. Since the direct application of geometric projection mapping will result in empty regions and/or distortions, the proposed approach embeds a novel refinement network into the view synthesis pipeline for improved performance. The appearance of the colour image greatly benefits from the generated depth image as it provides an intermediate projection relationship for the object in the 3D world. Last not least, it is found that relying solely on features from the input image in the source view might not be sufficient to generate a good target image, especially when only a single input image is available. To address this problem, features from both an input and a warped image are fused to collaboratively generate pixels in the new view. The warped image is an intermediate output generated by projecting pixels of the input image onto the target view via an estimated depth. In addition, the deployment of channel attention blocks and multi-scale depth estimation network further improve the synthesised image quality. All experiments are implemented and evaluated thoroughly on our own dataset or public dataset, demonstrating robust and superior view transformation and synthesis results.

description: We report an investigation of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and anomalous Hall resistance (AHR) of Rh and Pt thin films sputtered on epitaxial Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ (YIG) ferromagnetic insulator films. For the Pt/YIG hybrid, large spin-Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) along with a sizable conventional anisotropic magnetoresistance (CAMR) and a nontrivial temperature dependence of AHR were observed in the temperature range of 5-300 K. In contrast, a reduced SMR with negligible CAMR and AHR was found in Rh/YIG hybrid. Since CAMR and AHR are characteristics for all ferromagnetic metals, our results suggest that the Pt is likely magnetized by YIG due to the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) while Rh remains free of MPE. Thus the Rh/YIG hybrid could be an ideal model system to explore physics and devices associated with pure spin current.

Use of a multi-level mixed methods approach to study the effectiveness of a primary care progressive return to activity protocol after acute mild traumatic brain injury/concussion in the military
Creators: name: McCulloch, Karen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The large number of U.S. service members diagnosed with concussion/mild traumatic brain injury each year underscores the necessity for clear and effective clinical guidance for managing concussion. Relevant research continues to emerge supporting a gradual return to pre-injury activity levels without aggravating symptoms; however, available guidance does not provide detailed standards for this return to activity process. To fill this gap, the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center released a recommendation for primary care providers detailing a step-wise return to unrestricted activity during the acute phase of concussion. This guidance was developed in collaboration with an interdisciplinary group of clinical, military, and academic subject matter experts using an evidence-based approach. Systematic evaluation of the guidance is critical to ensure positive patient outcomes, to discover barriers to implementation by providers, and to identify ways to improve the recommendation. Here we describe a multi-level, mixed-methods approach to evaluate the recommendation incorporating outcomes from both patients and providers. Procedures were developed to implement the study within complex but ecologically-valid settings at multiple military treatment facilities and operational medical units. Special consideration was given to anticipated challenges such as the frequent movement of military personnel, selection of appropriate design and measures, study implementation at multiple sites, and involvement of multiple service branches (Army, Navy, and Marine Corps). We conclude by emphasizing the need to consider contemporary approaches for evaluating the effectiveness of clinical guidance.

description: Arboviruses are viral diseases transmitted by arthropods that are becoming a major concern for public health. In 2015 there were outbreaks of several arboviruses in Brazil such as Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika. Dengue and Chikungunya affected a considerable number of people with about 1,350,406 probable cases for Dengue and 3,554 confirmed cases for Chikungunya. The situation worsened when about 440,000 to 1.3 million cases of Zika were reported, showing the extreme difficulty in controlling the arbovirus in the country. Among the mechanisms of host responses to arbovirus infection, oxidative stress induced during Alfavirus infection can contribute to increased inflammatory response and viral replication during infection. Furthermore, that some viral proteins can affect the functioning of the mitochondria, inducing an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species. However, there are still no studies that map the picture of oxidative damage and mitochondrial changes existing in the diversity of arboviruses. Thus, this study proposes to identify the consequences, in in vitro studies, that of oxidative damage caused in infections by arbovirus and how mitochondria behaves in the face of infections

Development of Clinical Recommendations for Progressive Return to Activity After Military Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Guidance for Rehabilitation Providers
Creators: name: McCulloch, Karen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Objective: Previously published mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) management guidelines provide very general recommendations to return individuals with mTBI to activity. This lack of specific guidance creates variation in military rehabilitation. The Office of the Army Surgeon General in collaboration with the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, a component center of the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury, convened an expert working group to review the existing literature and propose clinical recommendations that standardize rehabilitation activity progression following mTBI.

description: In this work, we investigate the effect of disorder on the topological properties of multichannel superconductor nanowires. While the standard expectation is that the spectral gap is closed and opened at transitions that change the topological index of the wire, we show that the closing and opening of a transport gap can also cause topological transitions, even in the presence of nonzero density of states across the transition. Such transport gaps induced by disorder can change the topological index, driving a topologically trivial wire into a nontrivial state or vice versa. We focus on the Rashba spin-orbit coupled semiconductor nanowires in proximity to a conventional superconductor, which is an experimentally relevant system, and obtain analytical formulas for topological transitions in these wires, valid for generic realizations of disorder. Full tight-binding simulations show excellent agreement with our analytical results without any fitting parameters.

description: A multi-patch and multi-group modeling framework describing the dynamics of a class of diseases driven by the interactions between vectors and hosts structured by groups is formulated. Hosts' dispersal is modeled in terms of patch-residence times with the nonlinear dynamics taking into account the \textit{effective} patch-host size. The residence times basic reproduction number $\mathcal R_0$ is computed and shown to depend on the relative environmental risk of infection. The model is robust, that is, the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable (GAS) if $\mathcal R_0\leq1$ and a unique interior endemic equilibrium is shown to exist that is GAS whenever $\mathcal R_0>1$ whenever the configuration of host-vector interactions is irreducible. The effects of \textit{patchiness} and \textit{groupness}, a measure of host-vector heterogeneous structure, on the basic reproduction number $\mathcal R_0$, are explored. Numerical simulations are carried out to highlight the effects of residence times on disease prevalence.

description: When exactly can an impediment to effective competition be considered "significant" enough, if caused by a horizontal merger that gives rise to unilateral effects absent dominance, and what standard of proof does the Commission have to satisfy? Commission v CK Telecoms represents the first occasion for the European Court of Justice to elaborate on these questions. As the case is still pending, this Article discusses the significance of the latest legal guidance provided by the Opinion of Advocate General Kokott. This Article suggests that the Opinion is a return to well-established principles after the Court's judgment in Impala II, and provides a soundly reasoned critique of the decision of the General Court, directing special attention to the heightened standard of proof and the substantive criteria proposed for distinguishing significant from "insignificant" effects. Moreover, the Opinion contains a restatement of the doctrine of marginal review and thus constitutes an active effort to maintain the legal status quo.
Bandwidth Analysis of Multiport Radio-Frequency Systems

description: When multiple radio-frequency sources are connected to multiple loads through a passive multiport matching network, perfect power transfer to the loads across all frequencies is generally impossible. In this two-part paper, we provide analyses of bandwidth over which power transfer is possible. Our principal tools include broadband multiport matching upper bounds, presented herein, on the integral over all frequency of the logarithm of a suitably defined power loss ratio. In general, the larger the integral, the larger the bandwidth over which power transfer can be accomplished. We apply these bounds in several ways: We show how the number of sources and loads, and the coupling between loads, affect achievable bandwidth. We analyze the bandwidth of networks constrained to have certain architectures. We characterize systems whose bandwidths scale as the ratio between the numbers of loads and sources. The first part of the paper presents the bounds and uses them to analyze loads whose frequency responses can be represented by analytical circuit models. The second part analyzes the bandwidth of realistic loads whose frequency responses are available numerically. We provide applications to wireless transmitters where the loads are antennas being driven by amplifiers. The derivations of the bounds are also included.

description: Clinical agnosticism occurs when uncertainty about the evidence-based clinical usefulness of a medical intervention interferes with clinicians' decision-making. Clinical agnosticism arises whenever there is a "promising signal" about the potential clinical usefulness of the medical intervention, but the evidence is not "substantial". Typically, "substantial evidence" requires at least two independent randomized controlled trials to examine the intervention in the same target patient population. Both trials need to be adequately powered based on a pre-defined criterion of Minimal Important Difference for the primary outcome. If such "substantial" evidence is lacking, the reasons for or against the use of the medicinal product does not stand the test of rigorous scientific scrutiny: There may or may not be a clinically important and further research is needed In this project, we will assess the state of "Clinical Agnosticism" for Quetiapine/Seroquel. We will systematically search and evaluate all clinical studies testing quetiapine for some non-approved ("off-label") indication. We will describe whether or not it is likely that such studies can be interpreted as "promising" to warrant "off-label" use and whether or not "confirmatory" RCTs have been conducted to provide "substantial evidence".
