description: Rising water bills across the U.S. underscore the need to understand the factors that contribute to disparities in local system bills. In this paper, we examine residential water bill amounts from 1,720 systems in four states in different regions of the U.S. (Arizona, Georgia, New Hampshire and Wisconsin) to (1) examine how local system bills at a constant consumption level (4,000 gallons per month or 15.14m3) for drinking water vary within and across states, as well as within combined metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), and (2) study the relationship between local system bills and system-level characteristics. We find a high degree of similarity in median bill amounts between states but substantial variation within them at the MSA and local system scale. Our multivariate analysis suggests that municipally-owned systems are more likely to have lower water bills relative to for-profit systems, while factors such as purchasing water and having neighboring systems with high bills significantly correlate with higher water bills. Though we find that water systems with high levels of poverty tend to have higher water bills, our results also suggest that local systems that serve populations with higher levels of income inequality and higher proportions of non-White population tend to have lower water bills. These findings point to future research and data needs to better inform federal, state and local water affordability policy and underline the importance of examining and addressing water affordability at local scales.

description: The hallmark of superfluidity is the appearance of "vortex states" carrying a quantized metastable circulating current. Considering a unidirectional flow of particles in a ring, at first it appears that any amount of scattering will randomize the velocity, as in the Drude model, and eventually the ergodic steady state will be characterized by a vanishingly small fluctuating current. However, Landau and followers have shown that this is not always the case. If elementary excitations (e.g. phonons) have higher velocity than that of the flow, simple kinematic considerations imply metastability of the vortex state: the energy of the motion cannot dissipate into phonons. On the other hand if this Landau criterion is violated the circulating current can decay. Below we show that the standard Landau and Bogoliubov superfluidity criteria fail in low-dimensional circuits. Proper determination of the superfluidity regime-diagram must account for the crucial role of chaos, an ingredient missing from the conventional stability analysis. Accordingly, we find novel types of superfluidity, associated with irregular or chaotic or breathing vortex states.

description: Randomness is a central feature of quantum mechanics and an invaluable resource for both classical and quantum technologies. Commonly, in Device-Independent and Semi-Device-Independent scenarios, randomness is certified using projective measurements and the amount of certified randomness is bounded by the dimension of the measured quantum system. In this work, we propose a new Source-Device-Independent protocol, based on Positive Operator Valued Measurement (POVM), which can arbitrarily increase the number of certified bits for any fixed dimension. A tight lower-bound on the quantum conditional min-entropy is derived using only the POVM structure and the experimental expectation values, taking into account the quantum side-information. For symmetrical POVM measurements on the Bloch sphere we have derived closed-form analytical bounds. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate our method with a compact and simple photonic setup that employs polarization-encoded qubits and POVM up to 6 outcomes.

description: Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (ADGRGs) play critical roles in the reproductive, neurological, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. In particular, ADGRG2 plays a significant role in Ewing sarcoma cell proliferation, parathyroid cell function, and male fertility. In 2022, a cryo-EM structure was reported for the active ADGRG2 bound by an optimized peptide agonist IP15 and the Gs protein. The IP15 peptide agonist was also modified to antagonists 4PH-E and 4PH-D with mutations of the 4PH residue to Glu and Asp, respectively. However, experimental structures of inactive antagonist-bound ADGRs remain to be resolved, and the activation mechanism of ADGRs such as ADGRG2 is poorly understood. Here, we applied Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations to probe conformational dynamics of the agonist- and antagonist-bound ADGRG2. By performing GaMD simulations, we were able to identify important low-energy conformations of ADGRG2 in the active, intermediate, and inactive states, as well as explore the binding conformations of each peptide. Moreover, our simulations revealed critical peptide-receptor residue interactions during the deactivation of ADGRG2. In conclusion, through GaMD simulations, we uncovered mechanistic insights into peptide (agonist and antagonist) binding and deactivation of the ADGRG2. These findings will potentially facilitate rational design of new peptide modulators of ADGRG2 and other ADGRs.

description: Cardiometabolic disorders encompass a broad range of cardiovascular complications associated with metabolic dysfunction. These conditions have an increasing share in the health burden worldwide due to worsening endemic of hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Previous studies have identified Tumor Protein p53-inducible Nuclear Protein 2 (Trp53inp2) as a molecular link between hyperglycemia and cardiac hypertrophy. However, its role in cardiac pathology has never been determined in vivo. In this study, we generated a cardiac specific knockout model of Trp53inp2 (Trp53inp2-cKO) and investigated the impact of Trp53inp2 inactivation on the pathogenesis of heart failure under mechanic or/and metabolic stresses. Based on echocardiography assessment, inactivation of Trp53inp2 in heart led to accelerated onset of HFrEF in response to pressure-overload, with significantly reduced ejection fraction and elevated heart failure marker genes comparing to the control mice. In contrast, inactivation of Trp53inp2 ameliorated cardiac dysfunction induced by combined stresses of high fat diet and moderate pressure overload (Cardiometabolic Disorder Model). Moreover, Trp53inp2 inactivation led to reduced expression of glucose metabolism genes in lean, pressure-overloaded hearts. However, the same set of genes were significantly induced in the Trp53inp2-cKO hearts under both mechanical and metabolic stresses. In summary, we have demonstrated for the first time that cardiomyocyte Trp53inp2 has diametrically differential roles in the pathogenesis of heart failure and glucose regulation under mechanical vs. mechanical plus metabolic stresses. This insight suggests that Trp53inp2 may exacerbate the cardiac dysfunction during pressure overload injury but have a protective effect in cardiac diastolic function in cardiometabolic disease.

description: Surface wrinkling in stiff-film/soft-substrate bilayers is a common phenomenon in biological systems and is increasingly being exploited in thin-film technology. While the onset of surface wrinkling in end-compressed bilayers is well-understood, questions remain with regards to the evolution of the wrinkling pattern in the intermediate and deep post-wrinkling regimes, especially when the substrate is strongly pre-compressed. Here, we explore the bifurcation landscape of end-compressed bilayers with strongly pre-compressed substrates, using hyperelastic, plane strain finite-elements and generalized path-following algorithms. After bifurcating from a flat into a sinusoidally wrinkled state, bilayers undergo further n-tupling bifurcations into stable wrinkling patterns of longer wavelength whose periodicity n = { 4, …, 8} is a function of overall bilayer length. These five n-tupling wrinkling patterns are shown to be independent localizations of the deformation mode and are accordingly identified as stable ‘building blocks’ that govern the intermediate post-wrinkling regime. Additional end-shortening into the deep post-wrinkling regime then leads to further period doubling and coalescence of the building blocks. Beyond a certain length threshold, a bilayer can form a combinatorial side-by-side arrangement of the five building blocks. In the limit of an infinitely long bilayer, this leads to the phenomenon known as spatial chaos with the emergence of an infinite set of possible wrinkling patterns. In reality, though, the precise side-by-side arrangement of the building blocks is governed by the initial conditions. We show that the morphological evolution of the wrinkling pattern can be programmed by a judicial placement of manufactured dents in the thin film, creating new manufacturing capabilities for textured bilayers.

description: Biological processes underlying health and disease are inherently dynamic and are best understood when characterized in a time-informed manner. In this comprehensive review, we discuss challenges inherent in time-series microbiome data analyses and compare available approaches and methods to overcome them. Appropriate handling of longitudinal microbiome data can shed light on important roles, functions, patterns, and potential interactions between large numbers of microbial taxa or genes in the context of health, disease, or interventions. We present a comprehensive review and comparison of existing microbiome time-series analysis methods, for both preprocessing and downstream analyses, including differential analysis, clustering, network inference, and trait classification. We posit that the careful selection and appropriate utilization of computational tools for longitudinal microbiome analyses can help advance our understanding of the dynamic host–microbiome relationships that underlie health-maintaining homeostases, progressions to disease-promoting dysbioses, as well as phases of physiologic development like those encountered in childhood.

description: We argue that the enhancement in the spin polarization of anti-hyperons compared to the polarization of the hyperons in noncentral relativistic heavy-ion collisions arises as a result of an interplay between the chiral and helical vortical effects. The chiral vortical effect generates the axial current of quarks along the vorticity axis while the recently found helical vortical effect generates the helicity flow -- the projection of the quark's polarization vector onto its momentum -- along the same axis. For massless fermions, the helical charge corresponds to a difference in the contributions of particles and anti-particles to the axial charge. Assuming that the spin of light quarks transfers to the strange quarks via the vector kaon states ("the spin-vector dominance"), we are able to describe the ratio of the (anti)hyperon spin polarizations, obtained by the STAR group, without fitting parameters. We also argue that the helical vortical effect dominates over the chiral vortical effect and the chiral magnetic effect in the generation of the electric current.

description: We propose a novel theoretical framework of analysis for Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We reveal a fundamental flaw of previous analyses which, by incorrectly modeling GANs' training scheme, are subject to ill-defined discriminator gradients. We overcome this issue which impedes a principled study of GAN training, solving it within our framework by taking into account the discriminator's architecture. To this end, we leverage the theory of infinite-width neural networks for the discriminator via its Neural Tangent Kernel. We characterize the trained discriminator for a wide range of losses and establish general differentiability properties of the network. From this, we derive new insights about the convergence of the generated distribution, advancing our understanding of GANs' training dynamics. We empirically corroborate these results via an analysis toolkit based on our framework, unveiling intuitions that are consistent with GAN practice.

description: Use of diffusers for increasing wind velocity is not a new concept. It is proven system through computational and experimental analysis carried out few researchers. Still, it is not well accepted technology and very few researchers are engaged in this research. Between computational and experimental analysis, researchers always prefer the computational flow analysis for evaluation of wind flow. The effect of diffuser diameter is an important aspect and this research paper is formulated on the same basis. In this research work straight conical converging -diverging vertical flanged diffusers are analyzed to study the performance. Ten different diffusers from 0.6 m to 6.0 m diameter are considered with the incremental step of 0.6 m. For all diffusers same geometry is used and simulated at the wind velocity 6.5 m/s. All dimensions of these diffuser models are considered with the same proportional by taking the rotor diameter as a reference. The velocity counters are studied and plotted. The velocity values measured in throat plane are plotted for all diffusers. Also, the multiple increase in velocity, power and coefficient of performance is plotted and discussed.

description: Consideration by historians of Irish soldiers’ service in the regular British army during the Napoleonic Wars has been primarily through the perspective of the Irish regiments and the Irish enlisted man. This note presents new perspectives by demonstrating that Irish service was more widespread due to the presence of Irish officers and enlisted men across all regiments of the regular army. Important aspects of Irish service such as promotion, discipline, and the presence of Irish families are highlighted with the intention of facilitating a new perspective on the relationship between the regular British army and Irish society.

description: An effective field theory of $α$ cluster condensation is formulated as a spontaneously broken symmetry in quantum field theory to understand the raison d'etre and nature of the Hoyle and $α$ cluster states in $^{12}$C. The Nambu--Goldstone and Higgs mode operators in infinite systems are replaced with a pair of canonical operators whose Hamiltonian gives rise to discrete energy states in addition to the Bogoliubov--de Gennes excited states. The calculations reproduce well the experimental spectrum of the $α$ cluster states. The existence of the Nambu--Goldstone--Higgs states is demonstrated and crucial. The $γ$ decay transitions are also obtained.

description: Background Previous studies demonstrated the inhibitory effect of allopregnanolone (3α,5α-THP) on the activation of inflammatory toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signals in RAW264.7 macrophages and the brains of selectively bred alcohol-preferring (P) rats. In the current study, we investigated the impact of 3α,5α-THP on the levels of IL-10 and activation of the TRIF-dependent endosomal TLR4 pathway. Methods The amygdala and nucleus accumbens (NAc) of P rats, which exhibit innately activated TLR4 pathways as well as RAW264.7 cells, were used. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and immunoblotting assays were used to ascertain the effects of 3α,5α-THP on the TRIF-dependent endosomal TLR4 pathway and endosomes were isolated to examine translocation of TLR4 and TRIF. Additionally, we investigated the effects of 3α,5α-THP and 3α,5α-THDOC (0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 µM) on the levels of IL-10 in RAW264.7 macrophages. Finally, we examined whether inhibiting TRIF (using TRIF siRNA) in RAW264.7 cells altered the levels of IL-10. Results 3α,5α-THP administration facilitated activation of the endosomal TRIF-dependent TLR4 pathway in males, but not female P rats. 3α,5α-THP increased IL-10 levels (+13.2 ± 6.5%) and BDNF levels (+21.1 ± 11.5%) in the male amygdala. These effects were associated with increases in pTRAM (+86.4 ± 28.4%), SP1 (+122.2 ± 74.9%), and PI(3)K-p110δ (+61.6 ± 21.6%), and a reduction of TIRAP (−13.7 ± 6.0%), indicating the activation of the endosomal TRIF-dependent TLR4 signaling pathway. Comparable effects were observed in NAc of these animals. Furthermore, 3α,5α-THP enhanced the accumulation of TLR4 (+43.9 ± 11.3%) and TRIF (+64.8 ± 32.8%) in endosomes, with no significant effect on TLR3 accumulation. Additionally, 3α,5α-THP facilitated the transition from early endosomes to late endosomes (increasing Rab7 levels: +35.8 ± 18.4%). In RAW264.7 cells, imiquimod (30 µg/mL) reduced IL-10 while 3α,5α-THP and 3α,5α-THDOC (0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 µM) restored IL-10 levels. To determine the role of the TRIF-dependent TLR4 signaling pathway in IL-10 production, the downregulation of TRIF (−62.9 ± 28.2%) in RAW264.7 cells led to a reduction in IL-10 levels (−42.3 ± 8.4%). TRIF (−62.9 ± 28.2%) in RAW264.7 cells led to a reduction in IL-10 levels (−42.3 ± 8.4%) and 3α,5α-THP (1.0 µM) no longer restored the reduced IL-10 levels. Conclusion The results demonstrate 3α,5α-THP enhancement of the endosomal TLR4-TRIF anti-inflammatory signals and elevations of IL-10 in male P rat brain that were not detected in female P rat brain. These effects hold significant implications for controlling inflammatory responses in both the brain and peripheral immune cells.

The Disbandment of the Southern Irish Regiments – 1922
Creators: name: Bowman, Timothy
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2023

description: The disbandment of the Southern Irish Regiments of the British army occurred in July 1922 due to the creation of the Irish Free State and the effects of the so-called ‘Geddes Axe’ on the British army. Special arrangements meant that officers and men who wished to continue their service in the British army were able to transfer to other regiments and there were very few compulsory redundancies. This saw limited public concern about these regiments. The preservation of those regiments associated with Northern Ireland was, however, the subject of extensive lobbying and James Craig, the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, showed considerable ability in negotiations which ensured the survival of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and Royal Irish Fusiliers.

Unified Treatment of Magnons and Excitons in Monolayer CrI$_3$ from Many-Body Perturbation Theory
Creators: name: Olsen, Thomas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present first principles calculations of the two-particle excitation spectrum of CrI$_3$ using many-body perturbation theory including spin-orbit coupling. Specifically, we solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which is equivalent to summing up all ladder diagrams with static screening and it is shown that excitons as well as magnons can be extracted seamlessly from the calculations. The resulting optical absorption spectrum as well as the magnon dispersion agree very well with recent measurements and we extract the amplitude for optical excitation of magnons resulting from spin-orbit interactions. Importantly, the results do not rely on any assumptions on the microscopic magnetic interactions such as Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM), Kitaev or biquadratic interactions and we obtain a model independent estimate of the gap between acoustic and optical magnons of 0.3 meV. In addition, we resolve the magnon wavefunction in terms of band transitions and show that the magnon carries a spin that is significantly smaller than $\hbar$. This highlights the importance of terms that do not commute with $S^z$ in any Heisenberg model description.

‘A fanatical separation money mob’: The British Army Soldier’s Wife in Wartime Ireland, 1914-1918
Creators: name: Walsh, Fionnuala
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2023

description: This article focuses on the experiences of Irish soldiers’ families during the Great War. Soldiers’ families occupied a complex place in Irish society. Initially supported and praised for their husband’s service, working-class women quickly came under criticism and surveillance from the British state and civic authorities. They developed a reputation for excessive drinking and neglect of their children, blamed on the corrupting influence of the separation allowance. The 1916 Easter Rising and the by-elections in 1917 and 1918 provided opportunities for violent clashes and for the negative reputation of the women to be cemented in the public imagination. Separation women as an identifiable group disappeared in the aftermath of the war but the difficulties and challenges for Irish military families continued.

description: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing health burden in Sub-Saharan Africa and especially Uganda, where they account for over one third of all deaths. During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health control measures such as societal "lockdowns"had a significant impact on longitudinal NCD care though no studies have looked at the lived experience around NCD care during the pandemic. Our objective was to understand the experience of NCD care for both patients and providers in southwestern Uganda during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted in-depth, in-person qualitative interviews with 20 patients living with hypertension, diabetes, and/or cardiac disease purposefully selected from the outpatient clinics at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital and 11 healthcare providers from public health facilities in Mbarara, southwestern Uganda. We analyzed transcripts according to conventional content analysis. We identified four major themes that emerged from the interviews; (1) difficulty accessing medication; (2) food insecurity; (3) barriers to the delivery of NCD clinical care and (4) alternative forms of care. Pre-existing challenges with NCD care were exacerbated during COVID-19 lockdown periods and care was severely disrupted, leading to worsened patient health and even death. The barriers to care were exacerbations of underlying systemic problems with NCD care delivery that require targeted interventions. Future work should leverage digital health interventions, de-centralizing NCD care, improving follow-up, providing social supports to NCD patients, and rectifying supply chain issues.
Ireland and the First World War: Myth, Memory and History
Creators: name: Gallagher, Niamh
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2023

description: The First World War is a major event in world history and in Ireland’s history as well. This article demonstrates how myth, memory and history became intertwined in contemporary understandings of Irish participation in the conflict, as well as in subsequent scholarly writing. Through examples including recruitment statistics, policy decisions, the war at sea, memorialisation, unionism and Northern Ireland, and the Irish Revolution, this article demonstrates that a triangular relationship between myth, memory, and history has pervaded our understanding of the history of the war itself. A critical appreciation for how and when these phenomena intersect is therefore needed for a better understanding of Ireland and the First World War – and how we as historians continue to write its history today.

description: We propose and analyze a nonunitary variant of the continuous time Grover search algorithm based on frequent Zeno-type measurements. We show that the algorithm scales similarly to the pure quantum version by deriving tight analytical lower bounds on its efficiency for arbitrary database sizes and measurement parameters. We also study the behavior of the algorithm subject to noise, and find that under certain oracle and operational errors our measurement-based algorithm outperforms the standard algorithm, showing robustness against these noises. Our analysis is based on deriving a non-hermitian effective description of the algorithm, which yields a deeper insight into components responsible for the quantum and the classical operation of the protocol.

description: Rice husk and sawdust are waste generated freely inmany developing countries in the cause of rice production and wood processing respectively. This large biomass volume can be useful as an energy resource useful in numerous processes other than being dumped or flared in the farms, thereby causing health risks and having severe environmental consequences. Biomass combustion is known for the release of pollutants such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide. In this study, rice husk and sawdust were prepared with starch and spent oil asbinders. The characteristic behavior of the biomass materials was investigated. The properties of the new fuel derived from sawdust showed moisture content of 0.93%, ash content of 16.5%, higher heating of 7808.1 kJ/kg and tensile strength of 576.8 N/mm2 were obtained and that for rice husk, moisture content, ash content, higher heating value, and tensile strength of 0.908%, 11.5%, 6160.7 kJ/kg and 508.7 N/mm2 respectively, were obtained also. These results propose that the refuse derived fuel produced in this work from rice husk and sawdust is viable as a green fuel which will help reduce the global greenhouse gas content.
Soldier Stories: The Irish in the Army from the Late Nineteenth Century to the First World War

description: By drawing on soldiers’ writings and their broader cultural representations, this article enables new ways of seeing Irish soldier identity as socially and politically mobile. Using Lady Butler’s famous ’Listed for the Connaught Rangers: Recruiting in Ireland (1878) as its starting point, it explores the Irish soldier’s positioning from the late Victorian period to the First World War. Analysing narratives of William Butler, John Lucy, Francis Ledwidge and Patrick MacGill, alongside fictional and visual representations of Irish soldiers, it is demonstrated how Irish soldierly identity was responsive and shifting during this period of complex political and social change for Ireland

description: Waste removal increases the profitability of any business. Processes are classified into value added and non-value added. The seven deadly wastes that could exist in any manufacturing process originated in Japan and are defined in the Toyota production system (TPS). The main goal became removing them. For each waste, there is a strategy to remove or eliminate it. What is less likely is that managers will know how any of these issues are affecting them and increasing costs. To remove each waste, you have to understand where it comes from, why it exists, and how it affects your business. In the economic recession, many companies are taking abstinence procedures to reduce costs. This might include layoff labors and reducing some wages. Actually, those actions might work for only a short period. Afterwards, the situation may return and in worse shape unless the company changes its way of doing things, including enacting a culture of continuous improvement. This puts us back to why the Toyota production system has been created.

description: Gemba is a Japanese word meaning the actual place where value-creating work happens. Many leaders use gemba only for solving problems, visiting only when there is an issue. Others practice gemba walks on a daily basis to follow up and monitor the situation. However, Toyota believes that leaders truly develop through daily experiences at the gemba. In reality, gemba is a principle for managing, developing and improving people and processes. It is a valuable tool that helps lean practitioners learn the true facts so they can base management decisions on the actual situation.
