description: Kitaev's compass model on the honeycomb lattice realizes a spin liquid whose emergent excitations are dispersive Majorana fermions and static Z_2 gauge fluxes. We discuss the proper selection of physical states for finite-size simulations in the Majorana representation, based on a recent paper by Pedrocchi, Chesi, and Loss [Phys. Rev. B 84, 165414 (2011)]. Certain physical observables acquire large finite-size effects, in particular if the ground state is not fermion-free, which we prove to generally apply to the system in the gapless phase and with periodic boundary conditions. To illustrate our findings, we compute the static and dynamic spin susceptibilities for finite-size systems. Specifically, we consider random-bond disorder (which preserves the solubility of the model), calculate the distribution of local flux gaps, and extract the NMR lineshape. We also predict a transition to a random-flux state with increasing disorder.

description: Relative impulse responses between microphones are usually long and dense due to the reverberant acoustic environment. Estimating them from short and noisy recordings poses a long-standing challenge of audio signal processing. In this paper we apply a novel strategy based on ideas of Compressed Sensing. Relative transfer function (RTF) corresponding to the relative impulse response can often be estimated accurately from noisy data but only for certain frequencies. This means that often only an incomplete measurement of the RTF is available. A complete RTF estimate can be obtained through finding its sparsest representation in the time-domain: that is, through computing the sparsest among the corresponding relative impulse responses. Based on this approach, we propose to estimate the RTF from noisy data in three steps. First, the RTF is estimated using any conventional method such as the non-stationarity-based estimator by Gannot et al. or through Blind Source Separation. Second, frequencies are determined for which the RTF estimate appears to be accurate. Third, the RTF is reconstructed through solving a weighted $\ell_1$ convex program, which we propose to solve via a computationally efficient variant of the SpaRSA (Sparse Reconstruction by Separable Approximation) algorithm. An extensive experimental study with real-world recordings has been conducted. It has been shown that the proposed method is capable of improving many conventional estimators used as the first step in most situations.

description: We discuss the relation between the quantum-mechanical survival probability of an unstable system in motion and that of the system at rest. The usual definition of the survival probability which takes into account only the time evolution of an unstable system leads to a relation between the survival probability of the system in motion and that of the system at rest which is different from the standard relation based on relativistic time dilation. This approach led other authors to claim non-standard quantum-mechanical effects which are in clear contradiction with Special Relativity. We show that an appropriate relativistic definition of the survival probability which takes into account also the space evolution of an unstable system leads to the standard relation between the survival probability of the system in motion and that of the system at rest, in agreement with Special Relativity. We present a rigorous derivation of this result based on a wave packet treatment.

A Music of Survival: The Prague Jazz Scene and Dissent in Communist Czechoslovakia

description: This thesisThis thesis argues that the jazz scene in Prague from the 1950s until the transition in 1989 was concerned primarily with, not dissent, but survival. It tracks the bell-curve trajectory of the scene—from its earliest days as establishment, high culture music to its subversive turn and eventual illegality in the mid-1980s, resulting in a steep drop to kitschiness in post-Communist Prague.

description: Influenza infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially during pandemics outbreaks. Emerging data indicate that phase II antioxidant enzyme pathways could play a role in virus-associated inflammation and immune clearance. While Nrf2-dependent gene expression is known to modify inflammation, a mechanistic role in viral susceptibility and clearance has yet to be elucidated. Therefore, we utilized differentiated human nasal epithelial cells (NEC) and an enzymatic virus-like particle entry assay, to examine the role Nrf2-dependent gene expression has on viral entry and replication. Herein, lentiviral vectors that express Nrf2-specific short hairpin (sh)-RNA effectively decreased both Nrf2 mRNA and Nrf2 protein expression in transduced human NEC from healthy volunteers. Nrf2 knockdown correlated with a significant increase in influenza virus entry and replication. Conversely, supplementation with the potent Nrf2 activators sulforaphane (SFN) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) significantly decreased viral entry and replication. The suppressive effects of EGCG on viral replication were abolished in cells with knocked down Nrf2 expression, suggesting a causal relationship between EGCG-induced activation of Nrf2 and ability to protect against viral infection. Interestingly, the induction of Nrf2 via nutritional supplements SFN and EGCG, increased antiviral mediators/responses; RIG-I, IFN-β, and MxA at baseline in the absence of infection. Our data indicate that there is an inverse relationship between the levels of Nrf2 expression, and viral entry/replication. We also demonstrate that supplementation with Nrf2-activating antioxidants inhibit viral replication in human NEC, which may prove to be an attractive therapeutic intervention. Taken together, these data indicate potential mechanisms by which Nrf2-dependent gene expression regulates susceptibility to influenza in human epithelial cells.
The Effect of Political Affiliation on Consumer Preferences for Sustainability Marketing Messages

description: As issues like climate change begin to worsen, sustainability initiatives are becoming increasingly important to counteract negative impacts on our planet. However, not everyone places the same importance on sustainability. When looking at political ideology, most research suggests that liberals and Democrats display higher levels of sustainability values than Republicans and conservatives. In order to transition to a more sustainable society, it is important to determine the types of messages that appeal to each party. To assess this, I conducted a study using a survey that asked respondents to assign a fair price to either toothpaste or scissors that were sustainably made in nine different ways. Using fair price as the dependent variable, I found that Republicans consistently preferred environmental and local initiatives. The results are more mixed for Democrats and Independents, whose preferences vary based on product, but overall, Democrats assigned the highest price for every initiative.

description: We calculate superconducting transition temperatures ($T_{\rm c}$) in sulfur hydrides H$_{2}$S and H$_{3}$S from first principles using the density functional theory for superconductors. At pressures of $\lesssim$150 GPa, the high values of $T_{\rm c}$ ($\gtrsim$130 K) observed in the recent experiment [A. P. Drozdov, M. I. Eremets, and I. A. Troyan, arXiv:1412.0460] are accurately reproduced by assuming that H$_{2}$S decomposes into $R3m$-H$_{3}$S and S. For the higher pressures, the calculated $T_{\rm c}$s for $Im3m$-H$_{3}$S are systematically higher than those for $R3m$-H$_{3}$S and the experimentally observed maximum value (190 K), which suggests the possibility of another higher-$T_{\rm c}$ phase. We also quantify the isotope effect from first principles and demonstrate that the isotope effect coefficient can be larger than the conventional value (0.5) when multiple structural phases energetically compete.

description: The unknown temperature of a sample may be estimated with minimal disturbance by putting it in thermal contact with an individual quantum probe. If the interaction time is sufficiently long so that the probe thermalizes, the temperature can be read out directly from its steady state. Here we prove that the optimal quantum probe, acting as a thermometer with maximal thermal sensitivity, is an effective two-level atom with a maximally degenerate excited state. When the total interaction time is insufficient to produce full thermalization, we optimize the estimation protocol by breaking it down into sequential stages of probe preparation, thermal contact and measurement. We observe that frequently interrogated probes initialized in the ground state achieve the best performance. For both fully and partly thermalized thermometers, the sensitivity grows significantly with the number of levels, though optimization over their energy spectrum remains always crucial.

Premedical School Variables and Interventions Associated with Physician Choice of Rural Primary Care Practice in the United States: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Fogleman, Kandis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Importance: The shortage of physicians in rural United States contributes to poor health outcomes in rural communities. Given that existing evidence has shown that an increase in primary care physicians is associated with improved health, effective interventions that lessen the physician shortage in rural areas will likely assist in achieving these goals. 
Objective: This systematic review aims to identify premedical school variables and characteristics of interventions which are associated with physician rural primary care practice in the US, in order to inform existing or novel workforce pipeline programs.
Methods: PubMed, SCOPUS, and clinicaltrials.gov were searched in May 2023 to identify studies which examined the association of premedical school variables and interventions with rural practice and primary care outcomes. These variables, interventions, and outcomes were extracted and summarized. For assessing risk of bias, the Newcastle-Ottowa Tool was used for cohort studies and a modified Newcastle-Ottowa Tool was used for cross-sectional studies. 
Results: Ten studies met full eligibility criteria, which consisted of cohort and cross-sectional studies in the US. Synthesis of study results for the eight studies which examined premedical school variables showed that rural background/hometown/upbringing/high school graduation, male sex, and interest or plan for rural practice at matriculation are associated with rural primary care practice. Synthesis of study results for the two studies which examined premedical school interventions showed characteristics of interventions which are associated with family medicine are conditional acceptance via GPA thresholds to the associated medical school, required interest in and commitment to rural medicine, required upbringing in rural area, required premedical school courses or experiences focused on rural and community health, and promotion of intervention programs to undergraduate college students. 
Conclusions: Certain premedical school variables and characteristics of premedical school interventions should be considered when admitting and recruiting students to medical school with the goal of increasing the number of rural primary care physicians in the workforce.

description: Since the 1989 discovery that mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF), there has been substantial progress toward understanding the molecular basis for CF lung disease, leading to the discovery and development of new therapeutic approaches. However, the earliest impact of the loss of CFTR function on airway physiology and structure and its relationship to initial infection and inflammation are poorly understood. Universal newborn screening for CF in the United States represents an unprecedented opportunity for investigating CF clinical manifestations very early in life. Recently developed animal models with pulmonary phenotypic manifestations also provide a window into the early consequences of this genetic disorder. For these reasons, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a working group of extramural experts, entitled “Future Research Directions in Early CF Lung Disease” on September 21–22, 2010, to identify future research directions of great promise in CF. The priority areas identified included (1) exploring pathogenic mechanisms of early CF lung disease; (2) leveraging newborn screening to elucidate the natural history of early lung disease; (3) developing a spectrum of biomarkers of early lung disease that reflects CF pathophysiology, clinical outcome, and response to treatment; (4) exploring the role of genetics/genomics (e.g., modifier genes, gene–environmental interactions, and epigenetics) in early CF pathogenesis; (5) defining early microbiological events in CF lung disease; and (6) elucidating the initial airway inflammatory, remodeling, and repair mechanisms in CF lung disease.

description: Urbanization has contributed to an increase in the transport activities, and thus to a greater degradation of air quality. The urban indicators in the European Union (EU) countries have different negative effects on air quality. That is why the EU has been making special efforts. Although in recent years special attention has been paid to the analysis of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), the main problem related to this analysis is the choice of air quality indicators. In order to overcome this problem, a two-phase model was developed. In the first phase, extreme values of the impact of (urban) inputs on the output (carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions) variable of the EU countries from 2000 to 2014 are determined, using the methodology of artificial neural networks (ANN), in order to select an input variable. In the second phase, starting from the selected variable, a cluster analysis of the EU countries is applied in order to examine the legality of the EKC. Based on the obtained results, it is shown that the connection between the methodology of ANN, cluster analysis and the laws of the EKC can be used to examine the impact of widely available urban indicators on various air quality indicators.
Rescaling transformations and the Grothendieck bound formalism in a single quantum system

description: The Grothedieck bound formalism is studied using `rescaling transformations', in the context of a single quantum system. The rescaling transformations enlarge the set of unitary transformations (which apply to isolated systems), with transformations that change not only the phase but also the absolute value of the wavefunction, and can be linked to irreversible phenomena (e.g., quantum tunnelling, damping and amplification, etc). A special case of rescaling transformations are the dequantisation transformations, which map a Hilbert space formalism into a formalism of scalars. The Grothendieck formalism considers a `classical' quadratic form ${\cal C}(θ)$ which takes values less than $1$, and the corresponding `quantum' quadratic form ${\cal Q}(θ)$ which takes values greater than $1$, up to the complex Grothendieck constant $k_G$. It is shown that ${\cal Q}(θ)$ can be expressed as the trace of the product of $θ$ with two rescaling matrices, and ${\cal C}(θ)$ can be expressed as the trace of the product of $θ$ with two dequantisation matrices. Values of ${\cal Q}(θ)$ in the `ultra-quantum' region $(1,k_G)$ are very important, because this region is classically forbidden (${\cal C}(θ)$ cannot take values in it). An example with ${\cal Q}(θ)\in (1,k_G)$ is given, which is related to phenomena where classically isolated by high potentials regions of space, communicate through quantum tunnelling. Other examples show that `ultra-quantumness' according to the Grothendieck formalism (${\cal Q}(θ)\in (1,k_G)$), is different from quantumness according to other criteria (like quantum interference or the uncertainty principle).

title: Eine automatisierte Methodik zur Planungsunterstützung in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit - Generierung von Netzausbauvarianten zur Einführung einer leitungsgebundenen Wasserversorgungsinfrastruktur am Beispiel informeller Siedlungen in Subsahara-Afrika
Creators: name: Mosbach, Julian
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine automatisierte Methodik entwickelt, die unter Berücksichtigung der vorhandenen Siedlungsstruktur verschiedene Ausbauvarianten eines Trinkwassernetzes in informellen Siedlungen aus technischer Sicht generiert. Ziel ist es, die Planung durch automatisierte Prozesse bei der Einführung einer leitungsgebundenen Trinkwasserversorgungsstruktur zur Erreichung der Versorgungskategorien „basic access“ und „intermediate access“ nach Kriterien der WHO [1] zu unterstützen. Hierzu ist der gesamte Prozess in der Programmiersprache Python umgesetzt. Durch ein Zusammenspiel von Ansätzen der algorithmischen Geometrie, Graphentheorie, Logistik, Gebietsplanung, mathematischen Optimierung und Hydraulik können innerhalb kürzester Zeit potenzielle Haupt- und Versorgungsleitungstrassen identifiziert, verschiedene längen- und hydraulisch optimierte Wasserversorgungsnetze generiert sowie Auswirkungen auf diese durch Variation potenzieller Planungsaspekte verdeutlicht werden. Des Weiteren besteht die Möglichkeit große Siedlungsbereiche im Hinblick auf eine zukünftige sektorale Erschließung in kleinere Untereinheiten aufzuteilen sowie optimale Entnahmestandorte im Netz unter Berücksichtigung tatsächlicher Weglängen unter dem Kriterium einer gerechten Erreichbarkeit für die Bevölkerung festzulegen. Die Methodik ist modular aufgebaut und über eine Schnittstelle mit einem Geoinformationssystem (QGIS) gekoppelt, sodass sämtliche Schritte und Planungsentscheidungen visualisiert werden können. Die Generierung reproduzierbarer Ergebnisse trägt auf diese Weise zur Transparenz in der Entscheidungsfindung bei. Gleichzeitig besteht dadurch die Möglichkeit individuelle und ggf. nicht optimale, Planungsvorgaben in den Prozess zu integrieren, um dem Prinzip eines partizipativen Upgrading-Ansatzes zu folgen. Die Validierung anhand zweier realer Fallbeispiele aus Subsahara-Afrika zeigt, dass die Methodik flexibel auf andere Gebiete übertragbar ist und, integriert in einen umfassenden Stadtplanungsansatz, einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen der dort lebenden Bevölkerung leisten kann.

description: We compute the electric dipole moment d_n of the neutron from a fully dynamical simulation of lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of clover fermions and nonvanishing theta term. The latter is rotated into the pseudoscalar density in the fermionic action using the axial anomaly. To make the action real, the vacuum angle theta is taken to be purely imaginary. The physical value of d_n is obtained by analytic continuation. We find d_n = -3.8(2)(9) x 10^{-16} [theta e cm], which, when combined with the experimental limit on d_n, leads to the upper bound theta < 7.6 x 10^{-11}.

description: The paper deals with the isogeometric analysis (IGA) of active composite laminates with piezoelectric layers. IGA is a special formulation of the finite element method (FEM) that aims at seamless integration of geometric and finite element modelling. NURBS basis functions are employed to develop isogeometric shell formulation based on the Reissner-Mindlin kinematics. Piezolayers characterized by electro-mechanical coupled field effects enable active behavior of the considered structures. The electric field acts across the thickness of the piezolayers and is coupled to the in-plane strains. In addition to a number of advantages that NURBS modelling provides, defining the surface normal vector at the points of the control polygon, which are generally not located on the surface, creates certain difficulties. A method of determining the surface normal vectors at the points of the control polygon based on the Greville's points is discussed. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the developed formulation, a benchmark case is computed and the results are compared with those obtained by means of classical FEM formulation, which are available in the literature.

description: We study the spin and thermal conductivity of spin-1/2 ladders at finite temperature. This is relevant for experiments with quantum magnets. Using a state-of-the-art density matrix renormalization group algorithm, we compute the current autocorrelation functions on the real-time axis and then carry out a Fourier integral to extract the frequency dependence of the corresponding conductivities. The finite-time error is analyzed carefully. We first investigate the limiting case of spin-1/2 XXZ chains, for which our analysis suggests non-zero dc-conductivities in all interacting cases irrespective of the presence or absence of spin Drude weights. For ladders, we observe that all models studied are normal conductors with no ballistic contribution. Nonetheless, only the high-temperature spin conductivity of XX ladders has a simple diffusive, Drude-like form, while Heisenberg ladders exhibit a more complicated low-frequency behavior. We compute the dc spin conductivity down to temperatures of the order of T~0.5J, where J is the exchange coupling along the legs of the ladder. We further extract mean-free paths and discuss our results in relation to thermal conductivity measurements on quantum magnets.
The Effects and Influences of Localized Muscle Vibration of the Hamstring Muscles on Landing Biomechanics Related to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

description: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) utilizing a hamstring tendon autograft causes dysfunction of the hamstring muscles (e.g. asymmetries in explosive strength and decreased knee flexor strength) and poor landing biomechanics which increase the risk of secondary ACL injury. The hamstrings resist anterior tibial translation, the primary loading mechanism of the ACL. Local muscle vibration (LMV) enhances function of the quadriceps following ACLR and may have a similar effect on hamstring function. Landing biomechanics including knee valgus angle, valgus moment, and flexion angle during singe-leg (SL) landings are influenced by hamstring muscles and are strong predictors of secondary ACL injury. The purpose of this study was to determine if LMV applied to the hamstrings improved landing biomechanics linked to ACL injury risk. We failed to enroll a sufficient number of ACLR patients, so healthy controls were evaluated instead. Participants completed a SL jump landing from which knee valgus angle, valgus moment, and flexion angle were assessed before and after a control or LMV intervention during sessions separated by 1-14 days. A one-way repeated measures ANCOVA compared change scores between interventions, controlling for average pre-test scores from both sessions, but revealed no significant effects of LMV on the biomechanical outcomes (P = 0.393-0.740). Healthy controls could have a ceiling effect that prohibits significant improvement post vibration. The use of 1 session of LMV was likely insufficient, prolonged vibration should be used for larger effect sizes. Future research should investigate LMV to improve landing biomechanics in those with deficient hamstring muscles following ACLR.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the cord-cutting movement in the U.S., resulting in a significant decline in the number of pay TV households. In July 2022, streaming services surpassed cable television in terms of TV viewing share in the U.S., marking a significant milestone. Despite the impressive growth of streaming services, companies are navigating an extremely dynamic environment, with competition intensifying, subscription numbers slowing down, and the average monthly churn rates increasing. As several critical questions remain unanswered, the future of the streaming services industry is uncertain. For instance, is the market already saturated? How are companies going to leverage emerging technologies? Will streaming services adopt a business model similar to that of cable TV? Where do live sports fit in?
The purpose of this paper, presented as a series of articles, is to provide a detailed examination of the user experience, business models, and emerging technologies in the streaming services industry. Eight professionals working in media and technology companies - including Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Disney, and Amazon - were interviewed to gather insights on the subject. Drawing upon these interviews, six articles were written, addressing the most pressing issues and significant developments in the streaming industry in 2023. These articles also cover a range of technological topics such as algorithms, discoverability systems, user experience and interface, and media usage across different generations, cultures, and devices. While the challenges are significant, there are opportunities for companies to innovate and provide users with even better experiences.

description: El estudio se enfoca en analizar el costo de transporte de carga terrestre en Colombia y su relación con la infraestructura vial y la gestión administrativa, considerando tanto factores internos como interacciones espaciales entre los departamentos del país. Los resultados muestran que los costos de transporte tienden a incrementar a lo largo del tiempo y se identifican departamentos con una mayor variabilidad. Además, se establece una relación entre la calidad de la infraestructura vial y los costos de transporte de carga terrestre, lo que sugiere que una mejor gestión administrativa, una adecuada inversión en infraestructura y la colaboración interdepartamental pueden reducir los costos de transporte y mejorar la competitividad regional.

description: In this paper, the proximal decoding algorithm is considered within the context of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. An analysis of the convergence behavior of the algorithm shows that proximal decoding inherently enters an oscillating behavior of the estimate after a certain number of iterations. Due to this oscillation, frame errors arising during decoding can often be attributed to only a few remaining wrongly decoded bit positions. In this letter, an improvement of the proximal decoding algorithm is proposed by establishing an additional step, in which these erroneous positions are attempted to be corrected. We suggest an empirical rule with which the components most likely needing correction can be determined. Using this insight and performing a subsequent ``ML-in-the-list'' decoding, a gain of up to 1 dB is achieved compared to conventional proximal decoding, depending on the decoder parameters and the code.

description: Recent theoretical advances offer an exact, first-principle theory of jamming criticality in infinite dimension as well as universal scaling relations between critical exponents in all dimensions. For packings of frictionless spheres near the jamming transition, these advances predict that nontrivial power-law exponents characterize the critical distribution of (i) small inter-particle gaps and (ii) weak contact forces, both of which are crucial for mechanical stability. The scaling of the inter-particle gaps is known to be constant in all spatial dimensions $d$ -- including the physically relevant $d=2$ and 3, but the value of the weak force exponent remains the object of debate and confusion. Here, we resolve this ambiguity by numerical simulations. We construct isostatic jammed packings with extremely high accuracy, and introduce a simple criterion to separate the contribution of particles that give rise to localized buckling excitations, i.e., bucklers, from the others. This analysis reveals the remarkable dimensional robustness of mean-field marginality and its associated criticality.
