description: The nature of dark matter is a fundamental puzzle in modern physics. A major approach of searching for dark matter relies on detecting feeble noise in microwave cavities. However, the quantum advantages of common quantum resources such as squeezing are intrinsically limited by the Rayleigh curse -- a constant loss places a sensitivity upper bound on these quantum resources. In this paper, we propose an in-situ protocol to mitigate such Rayleigh limit. The protocol consists of three steps: in-cavity quantum state preparation, axion accumulation with tunable time duration, and measurement. For the quantum source, we focus on the single-mode squeezed state (SMSS), and the entanglement-assisted case using signal-ancilla pairs in two-mode squeezed state (TMSS), where the ancilla does not interact with the axion. From quantum Fisher information rate evaluation, we derive the requirement of cavity quality factor, thermal noise level and squeezing gain for quantum advantage. When the squeezing gain becomes larger, the optimal axion accumulation time decreases to reduce loss and mitigate the Rayleigh curse -- the quantum advantage keeps increasing with the squeezing gain. Overall, we find that TMSS is more sensitive in the low temperature limit. In the case of SMSS, as large gain is required for advantage over vacuum, homodyne is sufficient to achieve optimality. For TMSS, anti-squeezing and photon counting is necessary to be optimal. Thanks to the recent advance in magnetic-field-resilient in-cavity squeezing and rapidly coupling out for photon counting, the proposed protocol is compatible with axion detection scenario.

description: In this study, we considered a large set of materials that are closely related to orthorhombic Fe$_3$C (cementite) with the aim of characterizing trends in their intrinsic magnetic properties and identifying alloys that are optimal for applications. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the full concentration ranges of hexagonal ($ε$) and orthorhombic ($θ$) phases of (Fe-Co)$_3$C, (Fe-Co)$_3$(B-C), (Fe-Co)$_3$(C-N), and their alloys with 3$d$, 4$d$ and 5$d$ transition metals. The calculations were performed using the density functional theory implemented in the full-potential local-orbital code (FPLO). Calculated properties included formation energies, Curie temperatures, magnetic moments, magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies (MAE), and magnetic hardnesses. The considered compositions exhibit a range of magnetic properties, including soft, semi-hard, and hard magnetic. The materials most promising for hard-magnetic applications are orthorhombic Co$_3$C compound, together with selected Co-rich orthorhombic (Fe,Co)$_3$C and hexagonal (Fe,Co)$_3$C alloys. The calculation results do not indicate that substituting with transition metals increases the potential of the alloys for permanent magnet applications. A significant drawback of alloying orthorhombic $θ$-Fe$_3$C (cementite) with transition metals is the notable decline in the Curie temperature. We found that a considerable proportion of the orthorhombic Co$_3$(B-C-N) alloys are magnetically hard, of which boron substitution raises the Curie temperature and improves stability. By mapping the dependence of MAE on the concentration of elements covering both the 3$d$ (from Fe to Co) and 2$p$ (from B, through C, to N) positions, we have demonstrated for the first time the near isoelectronic nature of MAE. The latter observation may be particularly useful in designing compositions of new magnetically hard materials.

description: We demonstrate that the anomalous ionization rate observed in the Central Molecular Zone can be attributed to MeV dark matter annihilations into $e^+e^-$ pairs for galactic dark matter profiles with slopes $γ>1$. The low annihilation cross-sections required avoid cosmological constraints and imply no detectable inverse Compton, bremsstrahlung or synchrotron emissions in radio, X and gamma rays. The possible connection to the source of the unexplained 511 keV line emission in the Galactic Center suggests that both observations could be correlated and have a common origin.

Intrinsic nonlinear conductivity induced by quantum geometry in altermagnets and measurement of the in-plane Néel vector

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The $z$-component of the Néel vector is measurable by the anomalous Hall conductivity in altermagnets because time reversal symmetry is broken. On the other hand, it is a nontrivial problem how to measure the in-plane component of the Néel vector. We study the second-order nonlinear conductivity of a system made of the $d$-wave altermagnet with the Rashba interaction. It is shown that the quantum-metric induced nonlinear conductivity and the nonlinear Drude conductivity are proportional to the in-plane component of the Néel vector, and hence, the in-plane component of the Néel vector is measurable. We obtain analytic formulas of the quantum-metric induced nonlinear conductivity and the nonlinear Drude conductivity both for the longitudinal and transverse conductivities. The quantum-metric induced nonlinear conductivity diverges at the Dirac point, while the nonlinear Drude conductivity is always finite. Hence, the quantum-metric induced nonlinear conductivity is dominant at the Dirac point irrespective of the relaxation time.

description: It was found that normal human stem cells produce a regulated non-processive telomerase activity, while cancer cells produce a processive telomerase activity. Nucleotide analogs, such as 7-deaza-2′-deoxyquanosine-5′-triphosphate (7-deaza-dGTP) were found to be substrates for processive telomerase and incorporated into telomeric sequence. The incorporation of this nucleotide subsequently affected the processivity of telomerase, converting processive telomerase to non-processive telomerase. The incorporation of this nucleotide analogs was also found to inhibit formation of G-quartets by telomeric sequence. Other methods for converting cancer processive telomerase to the more benign non-processive telomerase include partially cleaving the telomerase RNA. The nucleoside analogs were found to be capable of a variety of activities including mediating allosteric-like inhibition of telomerase, premature termination and shortening of telomeric DNA, destabilization of telomeric structure and function and eventually cell death. Understanding the mechanisms of telomerase modulation by the 7-deaza-nucleotides has allowed the design of new telomerase inhibitors, modulators and agents for affecting telomere structure and function. These discoveries have application in the treatment of cancer.
title: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Autistic Adults: Correlates of Meeting DSM-5 Criteria and Predictors of Professional Diagnosis
Creators: name: Reuben, Katherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Objective: Although many autistic adults show high symptoms of posttraumatic stress, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is underdiagnosed in this population. This study aimed to examine correlates of autistic adults meeting PTSD criteria (PTSD+) as well as predictors of professional PTSD diagnosis (Diagnosis+) in the PTSD+ subgroup. Method: 677 self-identified autistic adults completed an online survey on their demographics, mental health symptoms, and trauma history. T-tests and chi-square were used to compare subgroups, and logistic regression was used to predict diagnosis status. Results: PTSD+ participants were less likely to be employed or identify as cisgender men; had more mental health symptoms and worse functional impairment; and had experienced a higher number of traumas and more interpersonal trauma. The same was true for Diagnosis+ participants, who were additionally older and more likely to be racial/ethnic minorities. Older age, being a woman or gender minority, being unemployed or on disability, increased posttraumatic stress, having more co-occurring conditions, lower anxiety, and lower functional impairment predicted being Diagnosis+ among participants who were PTSD+. The final model explained 35% of variance in diagnosis. Conclusion: PTSD is associated with significant impairment in autistic adults, but it often goes unrecognized. Autistic cisgender men in particular may be underdiagnosed with PTSD because of gendered stereotypes. High anxiety and functional impairment may also increase barriers to obtaining an appropriate diagnosis. Future research should include participant treatment history as a potential factor. Clinicians should be aware of these potential signs of PTSD and diagnostic barriers when working with autistic clients.

title: Provider Attitudes Toward Mobile Health App Technology to Augment Child Maltreatment Prevention Service Delivery: An Exploration of The Integration of JoyPop™ With SafeCare®
Creators: name: OHara, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Emerging data indicates an exacerbated risk for child maltreatment (CM) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, considering approaches to augment evidence-based CM prevention programs that are easily dissemenable, and have the potential to enhance parent engagement, retention, and skill uptake, this study assesses the feasibility of augmenting SafeCare, an evidence-based program for the prevention of child physical abuse and neglect, with a mobile health application, JoyPop.
JoyPop™ is a mobile health app designed to assist in emotion regulation among users. Emotional regulation can be an important augmentation to CM prevention programs to enhance the overall emotional climate of the families involved.
168 SafeCare® providers complete an online survey assessing attitudes towards technology, especially mobile health apps, and its use in practice and service delivery. A subsample of the SafeCare® providers (N=12) were invited to complete a week-long trial of, JoyPop™ and a follow up qualitative interview.
The majority of providers believed that mobile health apps could improve client outcomes (n=108, 72.2%) and that these apps may promote good intervention practice (n=106, 72.6%). Providers who were interviewed indicated minimal use of mobile health apps in practice with SafeCare® but noted the ease of accessibility to information and support as a major benefit. When asked specifically about JoyPop™, providers identified strengths within the apps’ features, especially in regard to the deep breathing and journaling, but noted a need for more advanced content related to programmatic target skills to encourage effective and meaningful use in practice.
SafeCare® providers show a willingness to adapt to technological augmentations relevant to the delivery of CM prevention services. For effective uptake, agencies should offer ample technological support to both providers and clients, and the mobile app technology should be relevant and program specific. These findings encourage further exploration of currently available mobile health apps as a method of supplementing evidence-based home-visiting parenting program delivery.

description: In this letter, we propose a point cloud structural similarity-based loop detection method for underwater Simultaneous Localization and Mapping using sonar sensors. Existing sonar-based loop detection approaches often rely on 2D projection and keypoint extraction, which can lead to data loss and poor performance in feature-scarce environments. Additionally, methods based on neural networks or Bag-of-Words require extensive preprocessing, such as model training or vocabulary creation, reducing adaptability to new environments. To address these challenges, our method directly utilizes 3D sonar point clouds without projection and computes point-wise structural feature maps based on geometry, normals, and curvature. By leveraging rotation-invariant similarity comparisons, the proposed approach eliminates the need for keypoint detection and ensures robust loop detection across diverse underwater terrains. We validate our method using two real-world datasets: the Antarctica dataset obtained from deep underwater and the Seaward dataset collected from rivers and lakes. Experimental results show that our method achieves the highest loop detection performance compared to existing keypointbased and learning-based approaches while requiring no additional training or preprocessing. Our code is available at https://github.com/donghwijung/point_cloud_structural_similarity_based_underwater_sonar_loop_detection.

description: Zero-shot singing voice synthesis (SVS) with style transfer and style control aims to generate high-quality singing voices with unseen timbres and styles (including singing method, emotion, rhythm, technique, and pronunciation) from audio and text prompts. However, the multifaceted nature of singing styles poses a significant challenge for effective modeling, transfer, and control. Furthermore, current SVS models often fail to generate singing voices rich in stylistic nuances for unseen singers. To address these challenges, we introduce TCSinger, the first zero-shot SVS model for style transfer across cross-lingual speech and singing styles, along with multi-level style control. Specifically, TCSinger proposes three primary modules: 1) the clustering style encoder employs a clustering vector quantization model to stably condense style information into a compact latent space; 2) the Style and Duration Language Model (S\&D-LM) concurrently predicts style information and phoneme duration, which benefits both; 3) the style adaptive decoder uses a novel mel-style adaptive normalization method to generate singing voices with enhanced details. Experimental results show that TCSinger outperforms all baseline models in synthesis quality, singer similarity, and style controllability across various tasks, including zero-shot style transfer, multi-level style control, cross-lingual style transfer, and speech-to-singing style transfer.

description: In this work, we have integrated bismuth zinc niobium oxide (BZN), a high-k dielectric material, in metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) and field-plated metal-semiconductor (FP-MS) Schottky barrier diodes on $β$-$Ga_2O_3$. This increases the breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) from 300 V to 600 V by redistributing the electric fields, leveraging the high permittivity of BZN (k ~210). Enhancement in Schottky barrier height, by approximately 0.14 eV for MIS and 0.28 eV for FP-MS devices, also contributes to the improved $V_{BR}$. BZN inclusion has minimal impact on specific on-resistance ($R_{on,sp}$). Additionally, the devices display excellent current-voltage characteristics with ideality factors close to unity and an on/off current ratio greater than 1010. This work presents the most significant $V_{BR}$ enhancement reported-to-date for MIS devices on $β$-$Ga_2O_3$ without compromising turn-on voltage and $R_{on,sp}$. A comparison of FP-MS and MIS devices shows that FP-MS outperforms MIS in terms of lower $R_{on,sp}$, higher Schottky barrier height, and improved VBR.

description: Tensegrity units may be used to form a tensegrity structure. Each tensegrity unit may include n face tension members, n continuous tension members, and n compression members. A bracket for the tensegrity unit may allow for adjustment of position of portions of the tension members when the tensegrity unit is not in a deployed state. The tension members may be coupled to the tensegrity unit so that there are no loose tension member ends. The unit may be deployed from a collapsed state by positioning the compression members and tension members in a proper orientation and adjusting the length of at least one compression member. Adjusting the length of at least the one compression member may allow tension to be applied to each tension member. A tensegrity structure may be formed from tensegrity units by joining a number of tensegrity units together.

description: Advances in generative models have created Artificial Intelligence-Generated Images (AIGIs) nearly indistinguishable from real photographs. Leveraging a large corpus of 30,824 AIGIs collected from Instagram and Twitter, and combining quantitative content analysis with qualitative analysis, this study unpacks AI photorealism of AIGIs from four key dimensions, content, human, aesthetic, and production features. We find that photorealistic AIGIs often depict human figures, especially celebrities and politicians, with a high degree of surrealism and aesthetic professionalism, alongside a low degree of overt signals of AI production. This study is the first to empirically investigate photorealistic AIGIs across multiple platforms using a mixed-methods approach. Our findings provide important implications and insights for understanding visual misinformation and mitigating potential risks associated with photorealistic AIGIs. We also propose design recommendations to enhance the responsible use of AIGIs.
title: Interventions to Increase Awareness About Alcohol Harms Among Bisexual and Lesbian Women
Creators: name: Balenger, Adelaide
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: This research has two aims: (1) assess how often bisexual and lesbian women are screened for alcohol use and offered brief counseling in primary care settings compared to their heterosexual peers; and (2) understand how bisexual and lesbian women respond to information that alcohol increases breast cancer risk compared to heterosexual women.
Methods: The study population consisted of 5,027 adult U.S. women who responded to an online, cross-sectional Qualtrics survey. The survey included the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), questions about alcohol screening and brief counseling in primary care, and questions to assess awareness of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression were conducted.
Results: Bisexual and lesbian women had higher odds of harmful drinking (based on an AUDIT score >=8) compared to heterosexual women (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.00-1.56 for bisexual women; AOR =1.72; 95% CI = 1.19-2.48 for lesbian women). However, bisexual and lesbian women were no more likely to be advised about drinking in primary care compared to heterosexual women, but women across all groups (33.29% of non-harmful drinkers and 51.05% of harmful drinkers) indicated they would talk to a medical professional about this association.
Conclusion: Alcohol screening and brief counseling in primary care is an under-utilized opportunity to inform bisexual and lesbian women about the harms of drinking. After seeing information on the association between alcohol and breast cancer, many women agreed they would talk to a health care professional about this link.

title: Nudging for Hand Hygiene: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Creators: name: Goff, Marcus
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: INTRODUCTION:  Despite its importance and having few significant technological barriers, hand hygiene continues to pose a serious problem in public health. In addition to the highly public impact of hand hygiene promotion accompanying the COVID-19 pandemic, inadequate compliance with recommended hand- washing and -sanitizing procedures contributes substantially to healthcare associated infections, food-borne illness and seasonal flu transmission, school- and workplace-based outbreaks, and other arenas of preventable disease. “Nudges” – simple, inexpensive cues or selection-environment features that are designed with cognitive biases in mind – are used frequently to promote compliance in a variety of health-related activities, including hand hygiene compliance.
AIM: To systematically review the literature discussing the efficacy of nudging in promoting hand hygiene, and to statistically summarize the results of those studies.
METHODS: Consistent with PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines for completing a systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA), this study performs a planned and detailed review of literature through multiple appropriate databases and external resources, selects studies based upon predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, sequentially screens titles, abstracts, and full-texts for relevance and usability, extracts data systematically, and summarizes statistical results and effect sizes. Technological assistance is used to promote thoroughness and evaluative integrity. Specifically, Zotero is used in the selection and screening of studies, and R, R Markdown, and the R packages metafor [i] and clubSandwich [ii] are used for conducting a meta-analysis using a correlated and hierarchical effects model. [iii]
RESULTS:  14 studies contributing 34 effect sizes were analyzed using a multivariate random effects model with Robust Variance Estimation. The mean log odds ratio (LOR) was 1.416, with a mean odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of 4.12 [2.295 – 7.4] for hand hygiene within nudge-conditions compared to controls.
DISCUSSION: Nudges significantly increase hand hygiene compliance in a variety of populations and socio-cultural contexts, though publication bias may exaggerate their efficacy

description: To effectively track and manipulate topological solitons (e.g. skyrmions) are the key challenge before their applications. Inspired by the idea of sliding ferroelectricity, here a general strategy is proposed to print magnetic skyrmions to electric skyrmions in van der Waals bilayers. Through the proximate interactions, there is an isoperiodic bijection relationship between local dipoles and spin moments. This magnetoelectric imprint effect not only extends the strategies to create electric skyrmions, but also leads to an approach for all-electrical readout/manipulation of magnetic skyrmions.

description: This study describes implicit bias among healthcare workers in the United States (US) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2018 and 2020 respectively), and the rate of implicit bias in the US from 2006 to 2020. Using the Implicit Association Test (IAT), which is a component of the publicly available data from Project Implicit, linear regression analysis between demographic data and mean IAT score, and trend analysis were performed. All statistical analyses were done using SAS 9.4, and the trend analysis graph was created through Microsoft Excel. Our analysis shows that healthcare professionals’ race, gender, and political spectrum were the most consistent predictors of implicit bias. Healthcare providers’ implicit bias decreased from pre- to during COVID-19. Furthermore, healthcare workers’ implicit bias decreased from 2013 to 2016 but saw an increase in 2017. We conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic had no significant impact on the implicit bias of healthcare providers, but there was a significant relationship between implicit bias and healthcare workers’ race, gender, and political affiliation which may impact the health outcome of their patients.

description: The present invention makes use of a chimeric gene that, when incorporated into an appropriate host, results in the overproduction of S-adenosylmethionine without the need to supply the host with a source of untransformed methionine. The need for the methionine source is eliminated because the appropriately chosen host manufactures the amino acid on its own, and when the host is modified by the inclusion of a chimeric gene of the present invention, it transforms the methionine that is produced into S-adenosylmethionine. In addition, the same chimeric gene causes accumulation of methionine and increase in folate content in the same host. One form of the present invention is a fused gene encoding for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) made up of an N-terminal domain from a yeast organism and a C-terminal domain from a plant species. An example of a suitable plant species is Arabidopsis thaliana. An example of a suitable yeast organism is Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
