title: Recherche de légionelles dans l’eau : intérêt d’une démarche collective de laboratoires d’hygiène hospitalière pour répondre aux exigences du Cofrac
Creators: name: Lecointe, Didier
Publisher: name: Health & Co
Year: 2019

description: Un réseau de laboratoires hospitaliers franciliens accrédités pour les légionelles a été créé dans le but de faciliter les démarches d’accréditation de ses membres. Matériels et méthodes. Le cahier des charges prévoyait de partager les données et expériences sur les écarts, la métrologie et les compétences des signataires, de constituer un groupe d’auditeurs internes, et de discuter des coûts. Une « écartothèque » a été constituée par compilation des fiches d’écart ouvertes lors de chaque visite d’évaluation. Résultats. Le nombre de laboratoires accrédités est passé de huit en novembre 2013 à onze en décembre 2016. Douze réunions ont abordé les points du cahier des charges et la méthodologie à suivre pour la vérification de méthode. Sur 303 écarts, 31 étaient critiques, 142 portaient sur la partie management et 160 sur sa partie technique. Aucun retrait d’accréditation n’a été prononcé. Treize fiches d’écart en moyenne par établissement ont été ouvertes sur les onze visites initiales, versus six sur les sept visites de renouvellement. Cinq audits croisés annuels ont été organisés entre six membres du réseau. Trois conventions de sous-traitance mutuelle ont été signées entre quatre établissements. Conclusion. Les réunions du réseau ont permis d’appréhender les visites d’évaluation et d’intégrer les exigences des textes normatifs. L’écartothèque et les audits croisés ont permis d’anticiper les fiches d’écart potentielles, de réduire le nombre de fiches ouvertes et d’améliorer le système de management de la qualité et la technique.

description: We consider 1d Hamiltonian systems whose ground states display symmetry protected topological order. We show that ground states within the topological phase cannot be connected with each other through LOCC between a bipartition of the system. Our claim is demonstrated by analyzing the entanglement spectrum and Renyi entropies of different physical systems providing examples for symmetry protected topological phases. Specifically, we consider spin-1/2 Cluster-Ising model and a class of spin-1 models undergoing quantum phase transitions to the Haldane phase. Our results provide a probe for simmetry-protected topological order, that holds true even at the system's local scale. Therefore our analysis can serve as as local experimental test for topological order.

Timing differences in the acquisition of geen in Afrikaans and Dutch: A corpus-based study

description: This paper highlights a previously unnoted timing discrepancy in the first-language (L1) acquisition of geen (‘no’) in Afrikaans and Dutch. Building on White, Southwood & Huddlestone (2022) and van der Wal (1996), we report on a comparative Afrikaans-Dutch corpus study focusing on child(-directed) language that suggests that Afrikaans geen is acquired significantly later than Dutch geen. At the same time, it also highlights a striking difference in the use of NEGATOR+INDEFINITE ARTICLE-containing structures in the two languages. To further probe this discrepancy, we conducted an exploratory investigation of two suitable corpora of adult Dutch and Afrikaans. This reveals various collocational shifts and a reverse in the default negation pattern with indefinite count nouns: where Dutch employs geen, Afrikaans uses nie 'n (‘not a’). Considering the importance of object-denoting count nouns in early L1 acquisition, this would be expected to affect the timing of the acquisition of geen. The paper concludes with a discussion considering the likely origins of the shift in default pattern. The innovation of the moenie-imperative is argued to be key, given the acquisitional significance of imperatives and the fact that somewhat similar changes are attested in the history of English, which also innovated a prohibitive-marked negative imperative.
Non-Abelian Majorana Doublets in Time-Reversal Invariant Topological Superconductor

description: The study of non-Abelian Majorana zero modes advances our understanding of the fundamental physics in quantum matter, and pushes the potential applications of such exotic states to topological quantum computation. It has been shown that in two-dimensional (2D) and 1D chiral superconductors, the isolated Majorana fermions obey non-Abelian statistics. However, Majorana modes in a $Z_2$ time-reversal invariant (TRI) topological superconductor come in pairs due to Kramers' theorem. Therefore, braiding operations in TRI superconductors always exchange two pairs of Majoranas. In this work, we show interestingly that, due to the protection of time-reversal symmetry, non-Abelian statistics can be obtained in 1D TRI topological superconductors and may have advantages in applying to topological quantum computation. Furthermore, we unveil an intriguing phenomenon in the Josephson effect, that the periodicity of Josephson currents depends on the fermion parity of the superconducting state. This effect provides direct measurements of the topological qubit states in such 1D TRI superconductors.

description: Suite à une première épidémie de gale liée à un cas de gale hyperkératosique, un retour d’expérience (REX) a été organisé avec les différents acteurs concernés afin de permettre une meilleure gestion future. Cette rencontre a réuni le directeur des soins, le directeur des ressources humaines, un hygiéniste, un biologiste, un infectiologue, le médecin du travail et un pharmacien. Trois axes d’améliorations ont été décidés et réalisés : effectuer un retour aux équipes, formaliser le rôle de chacun et effectuer une formation sur la gale aux professionnels. Cinq autres cas de gale hyperkératosique ont été diagnostiqués dans notre structure et trois d’entre eux ont été à l’origine d’une épidémie. Grâce aux travaux réalisés en amont, le nombre de personnes atteintes, le délai de diagnostic, le nombre de courriers envoyés, le nombre de services concernés, le délai de mise en place d’une cellule de crise et la durée de l’épidémie ont été mieux maîtrisés au fur et à mesure des épisodes. Le REX a permis une meilleure gestion globale des épidémies, une implication marquée et un meilleur vécu des professionnels grâce à la définition des rôles de chacun.

Impacts of Climate Variability and Change, Pacific Northwest
Publisher: name: Climate Impacts Group
Year: 1999

Climate variations in the past have had a tremendous impact on the course of human history, at times allowing one civilization to flourish and at other times driving another civilization to migration or collapse. Even in this century, droughts and floods have crippled one region after another. Adding to these natural variations in climate, it now appears that humans have embarked on a global-scale modification of Earth’s climate by substantially changing the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere. Our understanding of the potential consequences of future anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change rests squarely on our understanding of the consequences of past (natural) changes in climate. In this report we examine and, where possible, quantify the connections between past climate variability and changes in some of the Pacific Northwest region’s natural resources. With these connections as a basis, we examine scenarios of future climate from climate models and assess the impacts such future climates would have on the Northwest. We focus both on past climate variability and on future anthropogenic climate change (the latter will be hereinafter abbreviated “climate change”).
Impacts of Climate Variability and Change on the Pacific Northwest: Executive Summary
Creators: name: Climate Impacts Group
Publisher: name: Climate Impacts Group
Year: 1999

Climate scientists generally agree that humans are changing the climate, and that if we continue pumping carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into the atmosphere, the climate of the 21st century will be different from the climate of the 20th century. What might future climate be like in the Pacific Northwest? What can we learn from past climate variations? How can we best adapt to climate change? This report attempts to answer these questions, and is a summary of a longer report about the impacts of climate variability and change on the Pacific Northwest. These reports represent an ongoing research effort by the Climate Impacts Group (CIG), a group of scientists and policy analysts at the University of Washington.

description: In this article author discusses the play/performance of Andrzej Sadowski Mayakovski reactivation. In the structure of the performance, he notices elements of the poet’s biography, elements taken from a computer game, elements referring to Majakowski’s texts (intertext). All this makes the performance become a kind of game with Majakowski’s texts and at the same time plays with contemporary conventions, expressed in the form of virtual reality. It also creates a reality referring to alternative history
Dimension Four Wins the Same Game as the Standard Model Group

description: In a previous article Don Bennett and I looked for,found and proposed a game in which the Standard Model group S(U(2)XU(3)) gets singled out as the "winner". Here I propose to extend this "game" to construct a corresponding game between different potential dimensions for space time. The idea is to formulate how the same competition as the one between the potential gauge groups would run out, if restricted to the potential Lorentz or Poincare groups achievable for different dimensions of space time d. The remarkable point is that it is the experimental dimension of space time 4 which wins. So the same function defined over Lie groups seems to single out both the gauge group and the space time dimension in nature. This seems a rather strange coincidence unless there is really some similar physics behind.

description: The paper aims at analyzing the importance of national identity in the selected works by Vladimir Sorokin and Viktor Pelevin. Both writers place significant emphasis on presenting the possible consequences of the present social changes. Pelevin predicts the unification of the world’s biggest countries into a homogenous structure based on people’s recognition. On the other hand, Sorokin forecasts the division of the present states into smaller structures, which will need to (re)construct their own identity. The interpretation is complemented with relevant ideas of Hegel and Fukuyama.

An historical narrative on the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, interdecadal climate variability and ecosystem impacts
Publisher: name: Climate Impacts Group
Year: 2001

The term Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) was coined in 1997 (Mantua et al. 1997) to describe a mode of north Pacific climate variability that varies on a multi-decadal time scale. A number of independent studies being conducted at the time contributed to the realization that the PDO had widespread climatic and ecosystem impacts. This brief report is our perspective on how the PDO was identified and named. We also provide summaries of more recent work characterizing the PDO and interdecadal climate variability, and give several examples of climate induced variability in the ecosystems of the North Pacific.

description: In this paper, we apply the recently developed ab initio renormalized excitonic method (REM) to the excitation energy calculations of various molecular aggregates, through the extension of REM to the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). Tested molecular aggregate systems include one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded water chains, ring crystals with $π$-$π$ stacking or van-der Waals interactions and the general aqueous systems with polar and non-polar solutes. The basis set factor as well as the effect of the exchange-correlation functionals are also investigated. The results indicate that the REM-TDDFT method with suitable basis set and exchange-correlation functionals can give good descriptions of excitation energies and excitation area for lowest electronic excitations in the molecular aggregate systems with economic computational costs. It's shown that the deviations of REM-TDDFT excitation energies from those by standard TDDFT are much less than 0.1 eV and the computational time can be reduced by one order.

description: We provide a framework for one-shot quantum rate distortion coding, in which the goal is to determine the minimum number of qubits required to compress quantum information as a function of the probability that the distortion incurred upon decompression exceeds some specified level. We obtain a one-shot characterization of the minimum qubit compression size for an entanglement-assisted quantum rate-distortion code in terms of the smooth max-information, a quantity previously employed in the one-shot quantum reverse Shannon theorem. Next, we show how this characterization converges to the known expression for the entanglement-assisted quantum rate distortion function for asymptotically many copies of a memoryless quantum information source. Finally, we give a tight, finite blocklength characterization for the entanglement-assisted minimum qubit compression size of a memoryless isotropic qubit source subject to an average symbol-wise distortion constraint.

description: Explicit solutions for extended objects of a Q-ball type were found analytically in a model describing complex scalar field with piecewise parabolic potential in (3+1)- and (1+1)-dimensional space-times. Such a potential provides a variety of solutions which were thoroughly examined. It was shown that, depending on the values of the parameters of the model and according to the known stability criteria, there exist stable and unstable solutions. The classical stability of solutions in (1+1)-dimensional space-time was examined in the linear approximation and it was shown explicitly that the spectrum of linear perturbations around some solutions contains exponentially growing modes while it is not so for other solutions.

description: We report the results of various measurements, namely magnetization, complex dielectric permittivity and electric polarization (P) on Dy2BaNiO5 as a function of temperature (T) and magnetic-field (H), apart from heat-capacity (C), with the primary motivation of exploring the existence of magnetoelectric (ME) coupling among Haldane spin-chain systems. The M(T) and C(T) data establish long range magnetic ordering at 58K. The most noteworthy observations are: (i) Distinct anomalies are observed in dielectric constant (ε') vs T and loss (tanδ) vs T at different temperatures, i.e. 12.5, 30, 50 and 58K; at low temperatures, three magnetic-field-induced transitions are observed in ε' vs H at 6, 40 and 60 kOe. These transition temperatures and critical magnetic fields track those obtained from magnetization data. This establishes the existence of strong magnetoelectric coupling in this compound. (ii) Correspondingly, electric polarization could be observed as a function of T and H in the magnetically ordered state, thereby indicating magnetism-induced ferroelectricity in this compound; this result suggests that this compound is a possible new multiferroic material among spin = 1 (nickel containing) compounds with successive magnetic transitions and strong magnetoelectric coupling.

description: Hierarchical two-planet systems, in which the inner body's semi-major axis is between 0.1 and 0.5 AU, usually present high eccentricity values, at least for one of the orbits. As a result of the formation process, one may expect that planetary systems with high eccentricities also have high mutual inclinations. However, here we show that tidal effects combined with gravitational interactions damp the initial mutual inclination to modest values in timescales that are shorter than the age of the system. This effect is not a direct consequence of tides on the orbits, but it results from a secular forcing of the inner planet's flattening. We then conclude that these hierarchical planetary systems are unlikely to present very high mutual inclinations, at least as long as the orbits remain outside the Lidov-Kozai libration areas. The present study can also be extended to systems of binary stars and to planet-satellite systems.

description: We report the angular dependence of three distinct de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) frequencies of the torque magnetization in the itinerant antiferromagnet CrB2 at temperatures down to 0.3K and magnetic fields up to 14T. Comparison with the calculated Fermi surface of nonmagnetic CrB2 suggests that two of the observed dHvA oscillations arise from electron-like Fermi surface sheets formed by bands with strong B-px,y character which should be rather insensitive to exchange splitting. The measured effective masses of these Fermi surface sheets display strong enhancements of up to a factor of two over the calculated band masses which we attribute to electron-phonon coupling and electronic correlations. For the temperature and field range studied, we do not observe signatures reminiscent of the heavy d-electron bands expected for antiferromagnetic CrB2. In view that the B-p bands are at the heart of conventional high-temperature superconductivity in the isostructural MgB2, we consider possible implications of our findings for nonmagnetic CrB2 and an interplay of itinerant antiferromagnetism with superconductivity.

description: Superconductivity has been first observed in TlNi$_2$Se$_2$ at T$_C$=3.7 K and appears to involve heavy electrons with an effective mass $m^*$=14$\sim$20 $m_b$, as inferred from the normal state electronic specific heat and the upper critical field, H_${C2}$(T). Although the zero-field electronic specific heat data, $C_{es}(T)$, in low temperatures (T < 1/4 T$_C$) can be fitted with a gap BCS model, indicating that TlNi$_2$Se$_2$ is a fully gapped superconductor, the two-gap BCS model presents the best fit to all the $C_{es}(T)$ data below $T_C$. It is also found that the electronic specific heat coefficient in the mixed state, $γ_N(H)$, exhibits a \textit{H}$^{1/2}$ behavior, which was also observed in some \textit{s}-wave superconductors, although once considered as a common feature of the \textit{d}-wave superconductors. Anyway, these results indicate that TlNi$_2$Se$_2$, as a non-magnetic analogue of TlFe$_x$Se$_2$ superconductor, is a multiband superconductor of heavy electron system.

description: We compare exact results from Pestun's localization of SU(N) N=2^* gauge theory on S^4 with available holographic models. While localization can explain the Coulomb branch vacuum of the holographic Pilch-Warner flow, it disagrees with the holographic Gauntlett et.al vacuum of N=2 super Yang-Mills theory. We further compute the free energy of the Pilch-Warner flow on S^4 and show that it disagrees with the localization result both for a finite S^4 radius, and in the S^4 decompactification limit. Thus, neither model represents holographic dual of supersymmetric S^4 localization of Pestun.

Subjects: Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession

description: Excerpts from the Foreword: These are the proceedings of the first national conference of the Economic Research Service. They have been carefully reviewed and edited. It has not been practical nor feasible to include everything that was said. Our purpose in making them available within the Service is not only to refresh the recollections of those of us who were present at Airlie in June 1962, it is also to provide the members of the Service who were not present a sense of the content and direction of the discussions and of the excellence and range of the several presentations. Perhaps most important to the critical reader, however, is the impression that comes through of a more unified research enterprise which has begun anew in the Economic Research Service.
Statistical Mechanics of Multiplex Ensembles: Entropy and Overlap

description: There is growing interest in multiplex networks where individual nodes take part in several layers of networks simultaneously. This is the case for example in social networks where each individual node has different kind of social ties or transportation systems where each location is connected to another location by different types of transport. Many of these multiplex are characterized by a significant overlap of the links in different layers. In this paper we introduce a statistical mechanics framework to describe multiplex ensembles. A multiplex is a system formed by N nodes and M layers of interactions where each node belongs to the M layers at the same time. Each layer $α$ is formed by a network $G^α$. Here we introduce the concept of correlated multiplex ensembles in which the existence of a link in one layer is correlated with the existence of a link in another layer. This implies that a typical multiplex of the ensemble can have a significant overlap of the links in the different layers. Moreover we characterize microcanonical and canonical multiplex ensembles satisfying respectively hard and soft constraints and we discuss how to construct multiplex in these ensembles. Finally we provide the expression for the entropy of these ensembles that can be useful to address different inference problems involving multiplexes.

title: Pilgrimage and Ancestors: the importance of return
Creators: name: Hellman, Jorgen
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2019

description: Drawing on ethnographic material from pilgrimages on West Java I argue that understandings of pilgrimage will benefit from including the return home in order to fully appreciate the meaning it holds for pilgrims. If we include into the study an extensive period after coming home, it facilitates situating the practice in a specific socio-cultural context and helps to understand how a pilgrimage partakes in these settings rather than being a ‘ “one off” transient and extraordinary’ event (Reader 2005:249). The meaning of pilgrimage described in the paper is formed by deep seated cultural notions about ancestors and descent. In the paper this perspective is used to describe how a moral community founded upon shared experiences of pilgrimage and contact with ancestors emerged after the pilgrims returned home and how it sidestepped formal religious and political leadership.
Lack of measurement independence can simulate quantum correlation even when signaling cannot

description: In Bell scenario, any nonlocal correlation, shared between two spatially separated parties, can be modeled deterministically either by allowing communications between the two parties or by restricting their free will in choosing the measurement settings. Recently, Bell scenario has been generalized into `semi-quantum' scenario where external quantum inputs are provided to the parties. We show that in `semi-quantum' scenario, entangled states produce correlations whose deterministic explanation is possible only if measurement independence is reduced. Thus in simulating quantum correlation `semi-quantum' scenario reveals a qualitative distinction between signaling and measurement dependence which is absent in Bell scenario. We further show that such distinction is not observed in `steering game' scenario, a special case of `semi-quantum' scenario.

description: Metabolic derangement with poor glycemic control accompanying overweight and obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and hyperinsulinemia. Macrophages, which present a very heterogeneous population of cells, play a key role in the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis, but functional alterations in the resident macrophage pool as well as newly recruited monocyte-derived macrophages are important drivers in the development of low-grade inflammation. While metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance and tissue damage may trigger or advance pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages, the inflammation itself contributes to the development of insulin resistance and the resulting hyperinsulinemia. Macrophages express insulin receptors whose downstream signaling networks share a number of knots with the signaling pathways of pattern recognition and cytokine receptors, which shape macrophage polarity. The shared knots allow insulin to enhance or attenuate both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory macrophage responses. This supposedly physiological function may be impaired by hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance in macrophages. This review discusses the mutual ambiguous relationship of low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and the insulin-dependent modulation of macrophage activity with a focus on adipose tissue and liver.

description: We compared the performance of two smooth-pursuit-based object selection algorithms in Virtual Reality (VR). To assess the best algorithm for a range of configurations, we systematically varied the number of targets to choose from, their distance, and their movement pattern (linear and circular). Performance was operationalized as the ratio of hits, misses and non-detections. Averaged over all distances, the correlation-based algorithm performed better for circular movement patterns compared to linear ones (F(1,11) = 24.27, p < .001, η² = .29). This was not found for the difference-based algorithm (F(1,11) = 0.98, p = .344, η² = .01). Both algorithms performed better in close distances compared to larger ones (F(1,11) = 190.77, p < .001, η² = .75 correlation-based, and F(1,11) = 148.20, p < .001, η² = .42, difference-based). An interaction effect for distance x movement emerged. After systematically varying the number of targets, these results could be replicated, with a slightly smaller effect. Based on performance levels, we introduce the concept of an optimal threshold algorithm, suggesting the best detection algorithm for the individual target configuration. Learnings of adding the third dimension to the detection algorithms and the role of distractors are discussed and suggestions for future research added.
Impacts of climate variability and climate change on transportation systems and infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest
Publisher: name: Climate Impacts Group
Year: 2011

Climate variability and projected regional climate change due to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations have important implications for transportation systems and infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). This white paper was motivated by the need to better understand the many potential impact pathways for transportation systems and infrastructure associated with climate variability and climate change in the PNW.

description: We evaluate the modifications to the cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectrum that result from a semiclassical expansion of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Recently, such an investigation in the case of a real scalar field coupled to gravity, has led to the prediction that the power at large scales is suppressed. We make here a more general analysis and show that there is an ambiguity in the choice of solution to the equations describing the quantum gravitational effects. Whereas one of the two solutions describes a suppression of power, the other one describes an enhancement. We investigate possible criteria for an appropriate choice of solution. The absolute value of the correction term is in both cases of the same order and currently not observable. We also obtain detailed formulae for arbitrary values of a complex parameter occurring in the general solution of the nonlinear equations of the model. We finally discuss the modification of the spectral index connected with the power spectrum and comment on the possibility of a quantum-gravity induced unitarity violation.
