description: Integrating out fast varying quantum fluctuations about Yang--Mills fields A_i and A_4, we arrive at the effective action for those fields at high temperatures. Assuming that the fields A_i and A_4 are slowly varying but that the amplitude of A_4 is arbitrary, we find a non-trivial effective gauge invariant action both in the electric and magnetic sectors. Our results can be used for studying correlation functions at high temperatures beyond the dimensional reduction approximation, as well as for estimating quantum weights of classical static configurations such as dyons.

description: Iron deficiency severe enough to cause anemia may affect children’s ability to grow and learn and, consequently, their lifelong productivity and earnings. This study examined the iron status of infants and toddlers ages 6-24 months with a prevalence of anemia of at least 10 percent participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in West Virginia counties. Blood screening performed especially for this study found that 12 of the 57 infants and toddlers (21 percent) were iron deficient, considerably more than the 4 of 49 (8 percent) with anemia. Because the screening methods routinely performed outside of the study are unable to detect iron deficiency before it progresses to anemia, primary prevention of iron deficiency is the only option that may be universally applied. Expert feeding recommendations—such as introducing iron-rich complementary foods after 6 months of age and limiting consumption of milk among children ages 12-24 months to no more than 24 ounces—are useful for promoting adequate intake of readily-available iron and may help prevent iron deficiency.

description: The Drossel-Schwabl Forest Fire Model is one of the best studied models of non-conservative self-organised criticality. However, using a new algorithm, which allows us to study the model on large statistical and spatial scales, it has been shown to lack simple scaling. We thereby show that the considered model is not critical. This paper presents the algorithm and its parallel implementation in detail, together with large scale numerical results for several observables. The algorithm can easily be adapted to related problems such as percolation.

On the nature of the flux variability during an expansion stage of a type I X-ray burst: Constraints on Neutron Star Parameters for 4U 1820-30

description: Powerful Type I X-ray burst with strong radial expansion was observed from the low mass X-ray binary 4U 1820-30 with Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer on May 2, 1997. We investigate closely the flux profile during the burst expansion stage. Applying a semi-analytical model we are able to uncover the behavior of a photospheric radius and to simulate the evolution of neutron star (NS)-accretion disk system. The bottom flux L_{bot} is a few times the Eddington limit L_{Edd} for outer layers, because the electron cross-section is a few times less than the Thomson cross-section at such a high temperatures. The surplus of energy flux with respect to the Eddington, $L_{bot}-L_{Edd}$, goes into the potential energy of the expanded envelope. As cooling of the burning zone starts the surplus decreases and thus the envelope shrinks while the emergent photon flux stays the same $L=L_{Edd}$. At a certain moment the NS low-hemisphere, previously screened by the disk, becomes visible to the observer. Consequently, the flux detected by the observer increases. Indeed, we observe to the paradoxical situation when the burning zone cools, but the apparent flux increases because of the NS-accretion disk geometry. We demonstrate a strong observational evidence of NS-accretion disk occultation in the behavior of the observed bolometric flux. We estimate the anisotropy due to geometry and find that the system should have a high inclination angle. Finally, we apply an analytical model of X-ray spectral formation in the neutron star atmosphere during burst decay stage to infer the neutron star (NS) mass-radius relation.

description: The effectiveness of the Food Stamp Program (FSP) depends on the extent to which it reaches those who are entitled to benefits. In the mid- to late 1990s, participation fell sharply. In recent years, it rebounded somewhat, reaching 65.1 percent in 2005. Changes in participation patterns can be attributed partly to economic fluctuations, but they were also shaped by the rapidly changing State policy environment. This study combines data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, 1996-2003, with data on State-level food stamp, welfare, minimum wage, and Earned Income Tax Credit policy to investigate the effects of policy on food stamp participation. The findings show strong evidence that some FSP policy reforms made after 1999 (such as more lenient vehicle-exemption policies, longer recertification periods, and expanded categorical eligibility) increased food stamp participation. The use of biometric technology, such as fingerprinting, however, lowered participation. The study shows less consistent evidence that more lenient immigrant eligibility rules, simplified reporting, Electronic Benefit Transfers, or outreach spending raised food stamp participation. The following article is based on the research used in this report: Ratcliffe, Caroline, Signe-Mary McKernan, and Kenneth Finegold, “Effect of Food Stamp and TANF Policies on Food Stamp Participation,” Social Service Review 82(2), June 2008.

description: Electronic patient records (EPRs) produce a wealth of data but contain significant missing information. Understanding and handling this missing data is an important part of clinical data analysis and if left unaddressed could result in bias in analysis and distortion in critical conclusions. Missing data may be linked to health care professional practice patterns and imputation of missing data can increase the validity of clinical decisions. This study focuses on statistical approaches for understanding and interpreting the missing data and machine learning based clinical data imputation using a single centre's paediatric emergency data and the data from UK's largest clinical audit for traumatic injury database (TARN). In the study of 56,961 data points related to initial vital signs and observations taken on children presenting to an Emergency Department, we have shown that missing data are likely to be non-random and how these are linked to health care professional practice patterns. We have then examined 79 TARN fields with missing values for 5,791 trauma cases. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN) based missing data imputation methods are used and imputation results against the original dataset are compared and statistically tested. We have concluded that the 1NN imputer is the best imputation which indicates a usual pattern of clinical decision making: find the most similar patients and take their attributes as imputation.

description: In 2003, about 56 percent of those eligible to participate in the Food Stamp Program actually participated. The participation rate varied substantially across States, ranging from a high of 83 percent in Oregon to a low of 43 percent in Massachusetts. Using data for 2003 from the Food Stamp Program Quality Control and Current Population Survey, this study examined factors that help to explain the variation. Results show that different population characteristics across States are a major factor because different types of eligible people tend to participate at different rates. States with a higher share of households headed by elderly people had lower rates, while those with a higher share of households without earnings and headed by nonelderly people had higher participation rates. Yet, substantial variation remained after “standardized” State participation rates were calculated that adjust for these compositional differences. Attempts to further explain these standardized rates by State policies and economic conditions were unsuccessful, perhaps due to the limited sample size and imprecise measures of policies.

description: This study develops a framework for differentiating true Food Stamp Program (FSP) impacts on food security from those that arise because households with the most severe food-related hardships are more likely to participate in the program. The framework hypothesizes that food spending improvements are the likely causal link between FSP participation and enhanced food security. Since food stamp benefits diminish with income, the incremental effect of FSP participation is also expected to diminish. Using data from the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplements in a statistical framework that controls for household income, the study finds that FSP participants have consistently higher at-home food spending and lower away-from-home-spending than comparable nonparticipants. For both groups, food security rises with income, but food security remains lower for program participants. Because differences in food spending and food security do not disappear as income rises, the study concludes that observed disparities are not likely to be true program impacts.

description: The translational motion of molecular ions can be effectively cooled sympathetically to translational temperatures below 100 mK in ion traps through Coulomb interactions with laser-cooled atomic ions. The ro-vibrational degrees of freedom, however, are expected to be largely unaffected during translational cooling. We have previously proposed schemes for cooling of the internal degrees of freedom of such translationally cold but internally hot heteronuclear diatomic ions in the simplest case of ^1-Sigma electronic ground state molecules. Here we present a significant simplification of these schemes and make a generalization to the most frequently encountered electronic ground states of heteronuclear molecular ions: ^1-Sigma, ^2-Sigma, ^3-Sigma and ^2-Pi. The schemes are relying on one or two laser driven transitions with the possible inclusion of a tailored incoherent far infrared radiation field.

title: Molecular mechanisms of T helper 1 and T helper 2 cell development: differential signalling in response to Interleukin-12
Creators: name: Passini, Nadia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Interleukin-12, a heterodimeric cytokine produced by activated monocytes and dendritic cells, plays a crucial role in regulating IFN-ү production and in the generation of IFN-ү producing T helper 1 cells. Here is shown that the IL-12Rß2 subunit, a recently cloned binding and signal transducing component of the IL- 12R, is expressed on human Thl but not Th2 clones, and is induced during differentiation of human naive T cells along the Thl but not the Th2 pathway. IL- 12 and IFN-a but not IFN-ү induce expression of the IL-12Rß2 chain during in vitro T cell differentiation following antigen receptor triggering, whereas IL-4 inhibits IL-12Rß2 transcription. Conversely, IFN-ү but not IFN-ɑ can rescue IL-12Rß2 mRNA expression and restore IL-12 responsiveness in early developing mouse Th2 cells. IFN-ɑ activity in humans is mediated by Stat4.
 The DNase Hypersensitive Site analysis allowed the characterisation of chromatin structure and accessibility of the IL-12Rß2 locus. Naive T cells as well as Th2 cells show a relative “closed” chromatin configuration, whereas Thl cells displayed an accessible chromatin configuration with a complex pattern of DNase Hypersensitivity. The characterisation of the DH sites selectively present in Thl cells allowed the identification of: i) a TATA-less, CpG rich, IL-12Rß2 minimal promoter ii) IL-12 and IFN-ɑ responsive enhancer regions. These regions contain GAS binding sites that not only bind Stat4, but also that are transcriptionally active. These data provide strong evidence that Stat4 plays a key role in the regulation of the Thl-specific expression of IL-12Rß2. Furthermore, the IL-12RP2 GAS. sites display a binding selectivity and do not efficiently bind Stat1. Thus, the week effects exerted by IFN-ү in humans on IL-12Rß2 gene regulation, and the consequent failure to induce Thl development, can be explained by the inefficient binding of the IFN-ү-induced Stat1 to the IL-12Rß2 GAS sites.

description: This study compares the Food Stamp Program (FSP) with eight other public assistance programs across four measures of program effectiveness—administrative costs, error payments, program access, and benefit targeting. The comparison includes two other USDA nutrition assistance programs, three cash assistance programs, and three programs providing noncash benefits other than food or nutrition assistance. Results show that the FSP and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) present contrasting patterns. The EITC program has lower administrative costs and higher program access rates than the FSP, but the FSP is more successful in limiting overpayments. Missing information makes it hard to generalize across the other programs, but there is some evidence suggesting that programs with higher errors have lower administrative costs. Low administrative costs also appear to be inversely associated with good program access for recipients. Also, programs that are more highly targeted tend to have higher benefit delivery costs.

description: We determine the conditions for which the constraints from lunar laser ranging on the time evolution of the local gravitational constant can be extrapolated to impose constraints on the time evolution of the cosmological gravitational constant in scalar-tensor theories of modified gravity. We allow for the possibility that the scalar-tensor theories are non-linear and contain a screening mechanism. This results in strong constraints on the running of the cosmological Planck mass described by the Horndeski function $|α_M|\lesssim 0.002$. We find that our assumptions are valid for most Vainshtein and kinetic screening models, where the shift symmetry $ϕ\rightarrowϕ+ c$ holds, but are violated by some Chameleon and Symmetron screening models, where the macroscopic equivalence principle is broken.

About half the estimated impact came from increases in newly eligible families, while the rest came from increases in eligible family members within already-eligible families (usually within families with citizen children). By 2004, the restorations had extended eligibility to roughly 1 million legal immigrants and 148,000 additional families. The extension in eligibility reached around two-thirds of those made ineligible by the 1996 welfare reform law rules and not covered by the 1998 restorations. The estimated participation gain over the period was 780,000 individuals and 139,000 legal immigrant families. The restorations took place in an era of large increases in food stamp caseloads overall; even so, the share of families containing legal immigrants increased substantially.

description: This paper introduces a novel game-theoretic framework for understanding how strategic behavior evolves under transformations of scale. Traditional game theory assumes fixed structures of interaction, but real-world systems—particularly those involving AI governance, institutional design, and collective action—change dynamically in size, complexity, and payoff logic. These changes often invalidate previously optimal strategies and lead to systemic breakdowns. We formalize this insight through the concept of a Scale Operator S_k, which transforms the components of a game as it scales, and we introduce the Double Bind Index (DBI) to quantify cross-scale strategic contradictions. We present a taxonomy of scale-sensitive games—including linear-scaling, threshold-tipping, scale-reversing, recursive, and Batesonian double bind games—and use case studies in AI policy to demonstrate how equilibrium behaviors collapse, invert, or generate emergent risks under structural expansion. This framework expands traditional game theory into a new domain: one in which scale is not a neutral multiplier, but a force that reconfigures the very logic of rational interaction.

description: This paper presents a new theoretical framework that integrates scale as a transformation operatorin game-theoretic systems. We define a Scale Operator S_k that alters the structure of a game,affecting players, strategies, payoffs, and information. We introduce a Double Bind Index (DBI) tocapture cross-scale strategic contradictions. Through a taxonomy of scale-sensitive games andcase studies in AI policy, the paper shows how equilibrium strategies can break down, invert, ortrigger cascading failure as systems grow in size or complexity.

description: The recent WMAP data provide a rather restricted range of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) density $ Ω_{CDM} h^2 $ of unprecedented accuracy. We combine these new data along with data from BNL E821 experiment measuring $ {(g_μ-2)}$, $ $the {$b\goes s γ$} branching ratio and the light Higgs boson mass bound from LEP, to update our analysis of the allowed boundaries in the parameter space of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM). The prospects of measuring Supersymmetry at LHC look like a very safe bet, and the potential of discovering SUSY particles at a $ \sqrt{s} = 1.1 \mathrm{TeV} $ linear collider is enhanced considerably. The implications for Dark Matter direct searches are also discussed.

Defining frailty within the context of electronic medical records : eCGA mapping to SNOMED CT
Creators: name: Brown, Sharde

description: Background. Frailty is commonly considered an emerging geriatric syndrome that involves a decrease in the physiological ability to respond to stressors, which can lead to increased hospitalization, worsening health, and morbidity. The goals of this work are to: (1) identify frailty within primary health care as early as possible in order to prevent worsening health issues, and (2) explore information collected within electronic medical records that can be better utilized for assessing frailty. Specifically, this work: 1) conducted a literature review to identify what defining characteristics of frailty are captured in the CGA tool; and 2) matched concepts within the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) tool to SNOMED CT, an international standardized terminology. Methods. This research was conducted using a nonexperimental descriptive study design. Manual mapping and expert consensus mapping were used to match concepts from a validated frailty assessment tool the electronic CGA (eCGA) to SNOMED CT; standardized terminologies allow for the sharing and coding of clinical information across different platforms. A literature search was completed to define the relevant characteristics of frailty, and explore the most commonly used assessment tools. These findings were compared with the eCGA to assess content coverage. A visual map supported mapping activities. Results and Conclusion. The literature review showed that the eCGA contained all defining characteristics of frailty. One hundred and thirty-three unique assessment questions were manually mapped to SNOMED CT. Of these, 72% (96/133) were direct matches, 17% (22/133) were one-to-many matches to clinical terms within SNOMED CT, and the remaining 11% (15/133) were non-matches. Two rounds of expert clinician consensus mapping occurred. Inter-rater reliability between the two clinicians was 0.75 (Kappa). The outcome of this study is a list of mapped eCGA elements to SNOMED CT. This list informs a new data table added to a pan-national database for chronic disease monitoring.

A new inequality for the von Neumann entropy

description: Strong subadditivity of von Neumann entropy, proved in 1973 by Lieb and Ruskai, is a cornerstone of quantum coding theory. All other known inequalities for entropies of quantum systems may be derived from it. Here we prove a new inequality for the von Neumann entropy which we prove is independent of strong subadditivity: it is an inequality which is true for any four party quantum state, provided that it satisfies three linear relations (constraints) on the entropies of certain reduced states.

description: The amount and size of spatiotemporal data sets from different domains have been rapidly increasing in the last years, which demands the development of robust and fast methods to analyze and extract information from them. In this paper, we propose a network-based model for spatiotemporal data analysis called chronnet. It consists of dividing a geometrical space into grid cells represented by nodes connected chronologically. The main goal of this model is to represent consecutive recurrent events between cells with strong links in the network. This representation permits the use of network science and graphing mining tools to extract information from spatiotemporal data. The chronnet construction process is fast, which makes it suitable for large data sets. In this paper, we describe how to use our model considering artificial and real data. For this purpose, we propose an artificial spatiotemporal data set generator to show how chronnets capture not just simple statistics, but also frequent patterns, spatial changes, outliers, and spatiotemporal clusters. Additionally, we analyze a real-world data set composed of global fire detections, in which we describe the frequency of fire events, outlier fire detections, and the seasonal activity, using a single chronnet.

description: This thesis contributes to the political science literature by exploring why minor parties arise and decline. This thesis explores the rise of Australian minor parties in Australia from the time of the Labor ‘Split’ in 1955 that led to the formation of the DLP through to the rise and continuing rise of the Australian Greens in the 1990s and beyond. In that time the Australian Democrats emerged in 1977 and in 1996 and 1997 Pauline Hanson’s One Nation first appeared. The thesis goes behind these parties to explore and analyses the underlying factors that caused these parties to be established in the first place and succeed electorally, before, in the case of three of the parties, meeting their decline. The Australian Greens have not declined to any significant degree and One Nation has experienced a political resurrection. The four parties considered in this thesis were the minor parties that were in the Federal parliament as at 1 January 2009 or had being in the Federal parliament and had lost all of their seats in parliament before that that date.
Analysis of scale-free networks based on a threshold graph with intrinsic vertex weights

description: Many real networks are complex and have power-law vertex degree distribution, short diameter, and high clustering. We analyze the network model based on thresholding of the summed vertex weights, which belongs to the class of networks proposed by Caldarelli et al. (2002). Power-law degree distributions, particularly with the dynamically stable scaling exponent 2, realistic clustering, and short path lengths are produced for many types of weight distributions. Thresholding mechanisms can underlie a family of real complex networks that is characterized by cooperativeness and the baseline scaling exponent 2. It contrasts with the class of growth models with preferential attachment, which is marked by competitiveness and baseline scaling exponent 3.

description: We determine mass and transverse momentum spectra of dileptons produced in Pb+Au (158 GeV/u) collisions within a pion annihilation model. A fit to the data requires simultaneous mass reduction and broadening of the in-medium rho propagator. The introduction of a finite pion width, as required within self-consistent approaches to the interacting pion gas, further improves the agreement with the data.

description: Over the last decade, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has greatly increased, and they are being used in many fields including surveillance, crisis management or automated mission planning. This last field implies the search of plans for missions with multiple tasks, UAVs and ground control stations; and the optimization of several objectives, including makespan, fuel consumption or cost, among others. In this work, this problem has been solved using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm combined with a constraint satisfaction problem model, which is used in the fitness function of the algorithm. The algorithm has been tested on several missions of increasing complexity, and the computational complexity of the different element considered in the missions has been studied.

description: We present a proof of a conjecture about the relationship between Baxter permutations and pairs of alternating sign matrices that are produced from domino tilings of Aztec diamonds. It is shown that if and only if a tiling corresponds to a pair of ASMs that are both permutation matrices, the larger permutation matrix corresponds to a Baxter permutation. There has been a thriving literature on both pattern-avoiding permutations of various kinds and tilings of regions using dominos or rhombuses as tiles. However, there have not as of yet been many links between these two areas of enumerative combinatorics. This paper gives one such link.
