description: Objective: Few studies have looked at the effectiveness of the top tether during side impacts. In these studies, limited anthropomorphic test device (ATD) data were collected and/or few side impact scenarios were observed. The goal of this study was to further understand the effects of the top tether on ATD responses and child restraint system (CRS) kinematics during various side impact conditions. Methods: A series of high-speed near-side and far-side sled tests were performed using the FMVSS213 side impact sled buck and Q3s ATD. Tests were performed at both 10° and 30° impacts with respect to the pure lateral direction. Two child restraints, CRS A and CRS B, were attached to the bench using flexible lower anchors. Each test scenario was performed with the presence and absence of a top tether. Instrumentation recorded Q3s responses and CRS kinematics, and the identical test scenarios with and without a top tether attachment were compared. Results: For the far-side lateral (10°) and oblique (30°) impacts, top tether attachment increased resultant head accelerations by 8–38% and head injury criterion (HIC15) values by 20–140%. However, the top tether was effective in reducing lateral head excursion by 5–25%. For near-side impacts, the top tether resulted in less than 10% increases in both resultant head acceleration and HIC15 in the lateral impact direction. For near-side oblique impacts, the top tether increased HIC15 by 17.3% for CRS A and decreased it by 19.5% for CRS B. However, the injury values determined from both impact conditions were below current injury assessment reference values (IARVs). Additionally, the top tether proved beneficial in preventing forward and lateral CRS rotations. Conclusions: The results show that the effects of the top tether on Q3s responses were dependent on impact type, impact angle, and CRS. Tether attachments that increased head accelerations and HIC15 values were generally counterbalanced by a reduction in head excursion and CRS rotation compared to nontethered scenarios.

description: We study a heavy piston that separates finitely many ideal gas particles moving inside a one-dimensional gas chamber. Using averaging techniques, we prove precise rates of convergence of the actual motions of the piston to its averaged behavior. The convergence is uniform over all initial conditions in a compact set. The results extend earlier work by Sinai and Neishtadt, who determined that the averaged behavior is periodic oscillation. In addition, we investigate the piston system when the particle interactions have been smoothed. The convergence to the averaged behavior again takes place uniformly, both over initial conditions and over the amount of smoothing.

description: Objective: The goal of this study was to explore a framework for developing injury risk functions (IRFs) in a bottom-up approach based on responses of parametrically variable finite element (FE) models representing exemplar populations. Methods: First, a parametric femur modeling tool was developed and validated using a subject-specific (SS)-FE modeling approach. Second, principal component analysis and regression were used to identify parametric geometric descriptors of the human femur and the distribution of those factors for 3 target occupant sizes (5th, 50th, and 95th percentile males). Third, distributions of material parameters of cortical bone were obtained from the literature for 3 target occupant ages (25, 50, and 75 years) using regression analysis. A Monte Carlo method was then implemented to generate populations of FE models of the femur for target occupants, using a parametric femur modeling tool. Simulations were conducted with each of these models under 3-point dynamic bending. Finally, model-based IRFs were developed using logistic regression analysis, based on the moment at fracture observed in the FE simulation. In total, 100 femur FE models incorporating the variation in the population of interest were generated, and 500,000 moments at fracture were observed (applying 5,000 ultimate strains for each synthesized 100 femur FE models) for each target occupant characteristics. Results: Using the proposed framework on this study, the model-based IRFs for 3 target male occupant sizes (5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles) and ages (25, 50, and 75 years) were developed. The model-based IRF was located in the 95% confidence interval of the test-based IRF for the range of 15 to 70% injury risks. The 95% confidence interval of the developed IRF was almost in line with the mean curve due to a large number of data points. Conclusions: The framework proposed in this study would be beneficial for developing the IRFs in a bottom-up manner, whose range of variabilities is informed by the population-based FE model responses. Specifically, this method mitigates the uncertainties in applying empirical scaling and may improve IRF fidelity when a limited number of experimental specimens are available.

description: We study the Higgs mode of superfluid Bose gases in a three dimensional optical lattice, which emerges near the quantum phase transition to the Mott insulator at commensurate fillings. Specifically, we consider responses of the Higgs mode to temporal modulations of the onsite interaction and the hopping energy. In order to calculate the response functions including the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations, we map the Bose-Hubbard model onto an effective pseudospin-one model and use a perturbative expansion based on the imaginary-time Green's function theory. We also include the effects of an inhomogeneous trapping potential by means of a local density approximation. We find that the response function for the hopping modulation is equal to that for the interaction modulation within our approximation. At the unit filling rate and in the absence of a trapping potential, we show that the Higgs mode can exist as a sharp resonance peak in the dynamical susceptibilities at typical temperatures. However, the resonance peak is significantly broadened due to the trapping potential when the modulations are applied globally to the entire system. We suggest that the Higgs mode can be detected as a sharp resonance peak by partial modulations around the trap center.

description: We present a study of the surface density profiles of the clusters of galaxies from the Palomar Distant Cluster Survey (Postman et al. 1996). The survey contains a total of 79 clusters of galaxies, covering the estimated redshift range of $0.2 \simless z \simless 1.2$. We have analyzed the richest clusters in this sample and find that the typical Palomar cluster has a surface density profile of $r^{-1.4}$ ($r \ge 0.10~h^{-1}~{\rm Mpc}$) and a core radius of $0.05~h^{-1}~{\rm Mpc}$. There may be an indication that the slope of the surface density profile steepens with increasing redshift, though the observational uncertainty is at present too large to be conclusive. Our cluster population is inconsistent at a 99.9\% confidence level with a population of azimuthally symmetric clusters.

description: We present a microscopic model of a bridge connecting two large Anti-de-Sitter Universes. The Universes admit a holographic description as three-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories based on large linear quivers, and the bridge is a small rank-$n$ gauge group that acts as a messenger. On the gravity side, the bridge is a piece of a highly-curved AdS$_5\times$S$_5$ throat carrying $n$ units of five-form flux. We derive a universal expression for the mixing of the two massless gravitons: $M^2 \simeq 3n^2 (κ_4^2 + κ_4^{\prime\,2})/16π^2$, where $M$ is the mass splitting of the gravitons, $κ_4^2, κ_4^{\prime\,2}$ are the effective gravitational couplings of the AdS$_4$ Universes, and $n$ is the quantized charge of the gate. This agrees with earlier results based on double-trace deformations, with the important difference that the effective coupling is here quantized. We argue that the apparent non-localities of holographic double-trace models are resolved by integrating-in the (scarce) degrees of freedom of the gate.

description: Using our ingeniously designed new filter systems, we investigate the multiple stellar populations of the RGB and AGB in the GC M5. Our results are the following. (1) Our cn_jwl index accurately traces the nitrogen abundances in M5, while other color indices fail to do so. (2) We find bimodal CN distributions both in the RGB and the AGB sequences, with the number ratios between the CN-weak (CN-w) and the CN-strong (CN-s) of n(CN-w):n(CN-s) = 29:71(+/- 2) and 21:79(+/- 7), respectively. (3) We also find the bimodal photometric [N/Fe] distribution for M5 RGB stars. (4) Our cn_jwl-[O/Fe] and cn_jwl-[Na/Fe] relations show the clear discontinuities between the two RGB populations. (5) Although small, the RGB bump of the CN-s is slightly brighter, 0.07 +/- 0.04 mag. If real, the difference in the helium abundance becomes \dy\=0.028$\pm$0.016, in the sense that the CN-s is more helium enhanced. (6) Very similar radial but different spatial distributions with comparable center positions are found for the two RGB populations. The CN-s RGB and AGB stars are more elongated along the NW-SE direction. (7) The CN-s population shows a substantial net projected rotation, while that of the CN-w population is nil. (8) Our results confirm the deficiency of the CN-w AGB stars previously noted by others. We show that it is most likely due to the stochastic truncation in the outer part of the cluster. Finally, we discuss the formation scenario of M5.

description: Objective: Computational human body models (HBMs) are nominally omnidirectional surrogates given their structural basis in human anatomy. As a result, such models are well suited for studies related to occupant safety in anticipated highly automated vehicles (HAVs). We utilize a well-validated HBM to study the head and neck kinematics in simulations of nontraditional occupant seating configurations. Methods: The GHBMC M50-O v. 4.4 HBM was gravity settled into a generic seat buck and situated in a seated posture. The model was simulated in angular increments of 15 degrees clockwise from forward facing to rear facing. A pulse of 17.0 kph (NASS median) was used in each to simulate a frontal impact for each of the 13 seating configurations. Belt anchor points were rotated with the seat; the airbag was appropriately powered based on delta-V, and was not used in rear-facing orientations. Neck forces and moments were calculated. Results: The 30-degree oblique case was found to result in the maximum neck load and sagittal moment, and thus Neck Injury Criteria (NIJ). Neck loads were minimized in the rear facing condition. The moments and loads, however, were greatest in the lateral seating configuration for these frontal crash simulations. Conclusions: In a recent policy statement on HAVs, the NHTSA indicated that vehicle manufacturers will be expected to provide countermeasures that will fully protect occupants given any planned seating or interior configurations. Furthermore, the agency indicated that virtual tests using human models could be used to demonstrate such efficacy. While the results presented are only appropriate for comparison within this study, they do indicate that human models provide reasonable biomechanical data for nontraditional occupant seating arrangements.

description: Since the electromagnetic current for a pion system coincides with the third component of the isovector current, the isospin angular oscillation of a coherent field can be a significant source for the electromagnetic emissions. We study the characteristic dilepton and photon emissions from the classical pion field oscillation in the QCD vacuum. The general analytical solution obtained in the nonlinear sigma model is used to calculate the electromagnetic current density, which exhibits a light-front singularity and decreases rapidly as inverse square of the proper time due to a longitudinal expansion. The momentum and invariant mass spectra of the direct photon and dilepton are found to be a sensitive probe of the space-time evolution of the chiral condensate field.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences of frontal and oblique crashes when positioning a Hybrid III (HIII) 6-year-old child anthropometric test device (ATD) using observed child passenger postures from a naturalistic driving study (NDS). Methods: Five positions for booster-seated children aged 4–7 years were selected, including one reference position according to the FMVSS 213 ATD seating protocol and 4 based on real-world observed child passenger postures from an NDS including 2 user positions with forward tilting torso and 2 that combined both forward and lateral inboard tilting of the torso. Seventeen sled tests were conducted in a mid-sized vehicle body at 64 km/h (European New Car Assessment Programme [Euro NCAP] Offset Deformable Barrier [ODB] pulse), in full frontal and oblique (15°) crash directions. The rear-seated HIII 6-year-old child ATD was restrained on a high-back booster seat. In 10 tests, the booster seat was also attached with a top tether. In the oblique tests, the ATD was positioned on the far side. Three camera views and ATD responses (head, neck, and chest) were analyzed. Results: The shoulder belt slipped off the shoulder in all ATD positions in the oblique test configuration. In full frontal tests, the shoulder belt stayed on the shoulder in 3 out of 9 tests. Head acceleration and neck tension were decreased in the forward leaning positions; however, the total head excursion increased up to 210 mm compared to te reference position, due to belt slip-off and initial forward leaning position. Conclusions: These results suggest that real-world child passenger postures may contribute to shoulder belt slip-off and increased head excursion, thus increasing the risk of head injury. Restraint system development needs to include a wider range of sitting postures that children may choose, in addition to the specified postures of ATDs in seating test protocols, to ensure robust performance across diverse use cases. In addition, these tests revealed that the child ATD is limited in its ability to mimic real-world child passenger postures. There is a need to develop child human body models that may offer greater flexibility for these types of crash evaluations.

description: The process of top-quark pair production at future high-energy $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders has been investigated as a possible test of physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard interactions have been assumed both for the production and for the subsequent decay of the top quarks. The energy spectrum of the single lepton $l^\pm$ and the energy correlation of $l^+$ and $l^-$ emerging from the process $e^+e^-\to t\bar{t}\to l^\pm X/l^+l^-X$ are calculated. The energy- spectrum asymmetry of $l^+$ and $l^-$ is considered as a measure of CP violation. An optimal method to determine whether CP violation occurs in the production or in the decay processes is proposed.

Uniform bounds and asymptotics of Generalized Gegenbauer functions of fractional degree

description: The generalised Gegenbauer functions of fractional degree (GGF-Fs), denoted by ${}^{r\!}G^{(λ)}_ν(x)$ (right GGF-Fs) and ${}^{l}G^{(λ)}_ν(x)$ (left GGF-Fs) with $x\in (-1,1),$ $λ>-1/2$ and real $ν\ge 0,$ are special functions (usually non-polynomials), which are defined upon the hypergeometric representation of the classical Gegenbauer polynomial by allowing integer degree to be real fractional degree. Remarkably, the GGF-Fs become indispensable for optimal error estimates of polynomial approximation to singular functions, and have intimate relations with several families of nonstandard basis functions recently introduced for solving fractional differential equations. However, some properties of GGF-Fs, which are important pieces for the analysis and applications, are unknown or under explored. The purposes of this paper are twofold. The first is to show that for $λ,ν>0$ and $x=\cosθ$ with $θ\in (0,π),$ \begin{equation*}\label{IntRep-0N} (\sin φ)^λ\,{}^{r\!}G_ν^{(λ)}(\cos φ)= \frac{2^λΓ(λ+1/2)}{\sqrtπ {(ν+λ)^λ}} \, {\cos ((ν+λ)φ- λπ/2)} +{\mathcal R}_ν^{(λ)} (φ), \end{equation*} and derive the precise expression of the "residual" term ${\mathcal R}_ν^{(λ)} (φ).$ With this at our disposal, we obtain the bounds of GGF-Fs uniform in $ν.$ Under an appropriate weight function, the bounds are uniform for $θ\in [0,π]$ as well. Moreover, we can study the asymptotics of GGF-Fs with large fractional degree $ν.$ The second is to present miscellaneous properties of GGF-Fs for better understanding of this family of useful special functions.

description: This study considers a model of the income distribution of agents whose pairwise interaction is asymmetric and price-invariant. Asymmetric transactions are typical for chain-trading groups who arrange their business such that commodities move from senior to junior partners and money moves in the opposite direction. The price-invariance of transactions means that the probability of a pairwise interaction is a function of the ratio of incomes, which is independent of the price scale or absolute income level. These two features characterize the hierarchical model. The income distribution in this class of models is a well-defined double-Pareto function, which possesses Pareto tails for the upper and lower incomes. For gross and net upper incomes, the model predicts definite values of the Pareto exponents, $a_{\rm gross}$ and $a_{\rm net}$, which are stable with respect to quantitative variation of the pair-interaction. The Pareto exponents are also stable with respect to the choice of a demand function within two classes of status-dependent behavior of agents: linear demand ($a_{\rm gross}=1$, $a_{\rm net}=2$) and unlimited slowly varying demand ($a_{\rm gross}=a_{\rm net}=1$). For the sigmoidal demand that describes limited returns, $a_{\rm gross}=a_{\rm net}=1+α$, with some $α>0$ satisfying a transcendental equation. The low-income distribution may be singular or vanishing in the neighborhood of the minimal income; in any case, it is $L_1$-integrable and its Pareto exponent is given explicitly. The theory used in the present study is based on a simple balance equation and new results from multiplicative Markov chains and exponential moments of random geometric progressions.

description: Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the short- and long-term impacts of Serbia's 2009 update of child restraint and seat belt legislation on the incidence of pediatric motor vehicle–related injury. With this new law, the use of child restraints in children age 0–3 became mandatory, and children 4–12 had to wear seat belts in the rear seats. Methods: A unique data set with assembled information from public institutions of the Republic of Serbia from January 2004 to December 2014 and analyses based on interrupted time series were carried out. Eight outcome variables were assessed: monthly rate of injured children for 2 age groups 0–3 and 4–12 per child population, number of registered motor vehicles, number of passengers transported, and number of passengers' kilometers traveled. Independent variables were short- and long-term impacts of Serbia's legislation update (June 2009). Data on injuries were obtained from Serbia's Road Traffic Safety Agency. Child population and other transport-related data were obtained from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. We excluded fatalities from the analysis. Results: In the first year of the updated legislation there was a reduction of 2.0% (confidence interval [CI], 0.1; 3.9) of injured children aged 0–3 and a reduction of 2.5% (CI, 0.6; 4.3) of injured children aged 4–12. Six years after enactment of the legislation, a significant reduction of 8.2% (CI, 3.5; 13.0) of injured children aged 4–12 was observed, but a nonsignificant reduction of 1.1% (CI, −5.8; 3.5) was found for injured children aged 0–3. By December 2014, 369 (CI, 186; 555) injuries among children aged 4–12 were avoided. Conclusions: The case of Serbia suggests that the new law was effective in reducing injuries among children aged 0–3 in the short term and injuries among children aged 4–12 in both the short term and long term. To understand these results, we suggest 2 hypotheses. First, low proper usage of child restraint and weak police enforcement were likely to explain the short-term effect among children aged 0–3. Second, access to seat belts in rear seats was probably a condition that facilitated the use of these devices among children aged 4–12, protecting them during the period of the study.
Leptophobic Z' from Superstring Derived Models

description: It was recently suggested that the reported anomalies in $R_b$ and $R_c$ can be interpreted as the effect of a heavy vector boson that couples to quarks and is universally decoupled from leptons. We examine how an extra gauge boson with this property can arise from superstring derived models. In a specific three generation model we show that the $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry combines with the horizontal flavor symmetries to form a universal leptophobic $U(1)$ symmetry. In our model there is an enhancement of the color gauge group from twisted sectors. The enhancement occurs after the breaking of the unifying gauge symmetry by ``Wilson lines''. The leptophobic $U(1)$ symmetry then becomes a generator of the color $SU(4)$ gauge group. We examine how similar symmetries may appear in other string models without the enhancement. We propose that if the current LEP anomalies persist it may be evidence for a certain class of un--unified superstring models.

Impact of the infectious period on epidemics

description: The duration of the infectious period is a crucial determinant of the ability of an infectious disease to spread. We consider an epidemic model that is network based and non-Markovian, containing classic Kermack-McKendrick, pairwise, message passing, and spatial models as special cases. For this model, we prove a monotonic relationship between the variability of the infectious period (with fixed mean) and the probability that the infection will reach any given subset of the population by any given time. For certain families of distributions, this result implies that epidemic severity is decreasing with respect to the variance of the infectious period. The striking importance of this relationship is demonstrated numerically. We then prove, with a fixed basic reproductive ratio (R0), a monotonic relationship between the variability of the posterior transmission probability (which is a function of the infectious period) and the probability that the infection will reach any given subset of the population by any given time. Thus again, even when R0 is fixed, variability of the infectious period tends to dampen the epidemic. Numerical results illustrate this but indicate the relationship is weaker. We then show how our results apply to message passing, pairwise, and Kermack-McKendrick epidemic models, even when they are not exactly consistent with the stochastic dynamics. For Poisson contact processes, and arbitrarily distributed infectious periods, we demonstrate how systems of delay differential equations and ordinary differential equations can provide upper and lower bounds, respectively, for the probability that any given individual has been infected by any given time

description: Adaptive confidence balls are constructed for individual resolution levels as well as the entire mean vector in a multiresolution framework. Finite sample lower bounds are given for the minimum expected squared radius for confidence balls with a prespecified confidence level. The confidence balls are centered on adaptive estimators based on special local block thresholding rules. The radius is derived from an analysis of the loss of this adaptive estimator. In addition adaptive honest confidence balls are constructed which have guaranteed coverage probability over all of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and expected squared radius adapting over a maximum range of Besov bodies.

description: We provide a new closed form expression for the Geronimus polynomials on the unit circle and use it to obtain new results and formulas. Among our results is a universality result at an endpoint of an arc for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a Geronimus type weight on an arc of the unit circle. The key tool is a formula of McLaughlin for powers of a two-by-two matrix, which we use to derive convenient formulas for Geronimus polynomials.

description: The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) that emerges under broken time-reversal symmetry in topological insulators (TI) exhibits many fascinating physical properties for potential applications in nano-electronics and spintronics. However, in transition-metal doped TI, the only experimentally demonstrated QAHE system to date, the effect is lost at practically relevant temperatures. This constraint is imposed by the relatively low Curie temperature (Tc) and inherent spin disorder associated with the random magnetic dopants. Here we demonstrate drastically enhanced Tc by exchange coupling TI to Tm3Fe5O12, a high-Tc magnetic insulator with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Signatures that the TI surface states acquire robust ferromagnetism are revealed by distinct squared anomalous Hall hysteresis loops at 400 K. Point-contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy confirms that the TI surface is indeed spin-polarized. The greatly enhanced Tc, absence of spin disorder, and perpendicular anisotropy are all essential to the occurrence of the QAHE at high temperatures.
Electron Acceleration and Efficiency in Nonthermal Gamma-Ray Sources

description: In energetic nonthermal sources such as gamma-ray bursts, AGN or galactic jet sources, etc., one expects both relativistic and transrelativistic shocks acompanied by violent motions of moderately relativistic plasma. We present general considerations indicating that these sites are electron and positron accelerators leading to a modified power law spectrum. The electron (or $e^\pm$) energy index is very hard, $\propto γ^{-1}$ or flatter up to a comoving frame break energy $γ_\ast$, and becomes steeper above that. In the example of gamma-ray bursts the Lorentz factor reaches $γ_\ast\sim 10^3$ for $e^{\pm}$ accelerated by the internal shock ensemble on subhydrodynamical time scales. For pairs accelerated on hydrodynamical timescales in the external shocks similarly hard spectra are obtained, and the break Lorentz factor can be as high as $γ_\star \siml 10^5$. Radiation from the nonthermal electrons produces photon spectra with shape and characteristic energies in qualitative agreement with observed generic gamma-ray burst and blazar spectra. The scenario described here provides a plausible way to solve one of the crucial problems of nonthermal high energy sources, namely the efficient transfer of energy from the proton flow to an apropriate nonthermal lepton component.

description: This paper presents a method for fitting a copula-driven generalized linear mixed models. For added flexibility, the skew-normal copula is adopted for fitting. The correlation matrix of the skew-normal copula is used to capture the dependence structure within units, while the fixed and random effects coefficients are estimated through the mean of the copula. For estimation, a Monte Carlo expectation-maximization algorithm is developed. Simulations are shown alongside a real data example from the Framingham Heart Study.

description: Using the recently proposed ALPHA algorithm (and the resulting code) I compute the rate (at tree level) for the process $γγ\rightarrow\barν_e e^- u \bar d$. The bulk of the contribution is due to W pair production and decay. However a non negligible ($\sim10 \%$) contribution comes from other channels, mainly the production and decay of a W and a collinear charged fermion. Requiring that the reconstructed invariant $u \bar d$ mass lies in the intervals $M_W\pm 5 $ GeV and $M_W\pm 20 $ GeV one obtains a rate which is lower, by 25 \% and 4 \% respectively, than the rate obtained in the $narrow$ $width$ approximation, thus demonstrating the relevance of the finite W width.
