description: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides host a variety of optically excited quasiparticles species that stem from two-dimensional confinement combined with relatively large carrier effective masses and reduced dielectric screening. The magnetic response of these quasiparticles gives information on their spin and valley configurations, nuanced carrier interactions, and insight into the underlying band structure. Recently, there have been several reports of 2$s$/3$s$ charged excitons in TMDs, but very little is still known about their response to external magnetic fields. Using photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, we observe the presence of the 2$s$ charged exciton and report for the first time its response to an applied magnetic field. We benchmark this response against the neutral exciton and find that both the 2$s$ neutral and charged excitons exhibit similar behavior with g-factors of g$_{\rm{X_0^{2s}}}$=-5.20$\pm$0.11 and g$_{\rm{X_-^{2s}}}$=-4.98$\pm$0.11, respectively.

description: A single qubit driven by an appropriate sequence of control pulses can serve as a spectrometer of local noise affecting its energy splitting. We show that by driving and observing two spatially separated qubits, it is possible to reconstruct the spectrum of cross-correlations of noises acting at various locations. When the qubits are driven by the same sequence of pulses, real part of cross-correlation spectrum can be reconstructed, while applying two distinct sequence to the two qubits allows for reconstruction of imaginary part of this spectrum. The latter quantity contains information on either causal correlations between environmental dynamics at distinct locations, or on the occurrence of propagation of noisy signals through the environment. We illustrate the former case by modeling the noise spectroscopy protocol for qubits coupled to correlated two-level systems. While entanglement between the qubits is not necessary, its presence enhances the signal from which the spectroscopic information is reconstructed.

description: We present a new family of exact four-dimensional Taub-NUT spacetimes in Einstein-$Λ$ theory supplemented with a conformally coupled scalar field exhibiting a power-counting super-renormalizable potential. The construction proceeds as follows: A solution of a conformally coupled theory with a conformal potential, henceforth the seed $(g_{μν},ϕ)$, is transformed by the action of a specific change of frame in addition with a simultaneous shift of the seed scalar. The new configuration, $(\bar{g}_{μν},\barϕ)$, solves the field equations of a conformally coupled theory with the aforementioned super-renormalizable potential. The solution spectrum of the seed is notoriously enhanced. We highlight the existence of two types of exact black bounces given by de Sitter and anti-de Sitter geometries that transit across three different configurations each. The de Sitter geometries transit from a regular black hole with event and cosmological horizons to a bouncing cosmology connecting two de Sitter Universes with different values of the asymptotic cosmological constant. An intermediate phase represented by a de Sitter wormhole or by a bouncing cosmology that connects two de Sitter Universes is shown, this under the presence of a cosmological horizon. On the other hand, the anti-de Sitter geometries transit from a regular black hole with inner and event horizons to a wormhole that connects two asymptotic boundaries with different constant curvatures. The intermediate phase is given by an anti-de Sitter regular black hole with a single event horizon that appears in two different settings. As a regular anti-de Sitter black hole inside of an anti-de Sitter wormhole or as an anti-de Sitter regular black hole with an internal cosmological bounce. These geometries are smoothly connected by the mass parameter only. Other black holes, bouncing cosmologies and wormholes are also found.

Weight Changes Among Bottle-Fed Infants and Perspective on Obesity Prevention Beginning During Infancy
Creators: name: Wood, Charles

Year: 2015

description: Background: Obesity risk in children may relate to early feeding decisions, including that of bottle vs. breastfeeding, with bottle-fed infants at higher risk for faster growth and more adiposity, but the relationship is not fully elucidated. Different size bottles are used for feeding infants, and our prior research suggests that larger bottle size is related to greater formula intake. Here we examine if the bottle size used at 2 months of age independently predicts greater change in weight and weight-for-length z-scores from 2 to 6 months of life. Methods: We reviewed the literature to examine the landscape and limitations of studies that predict risk and discern reported association between bottle feeding and weight gain. We then performed a longitudinal analysis of infants enrolled in Greenlight, a cluster randomized trial to prevent childhood obesity at 4 pediatric resident clinics. Caregivers of exclusively formula-fed infants reported usual bottle size at the 2 month (baseline) visit. Bottle size was dichotomized as regular (<6 oz) or large (> 6 oz). We used change in weight (kg) and weight-for-length z-score (WFL-Z) from 2 and 6 months as outcomes in OLS regression models. Bottle size was the main predictor; we also controlled for study site, birthweight, sex, firstborn status, weight or WFLZ at 2 months, age in weeks, time between visits, WIC enrollment, and caregiver race/ethnicity, education, household income and size. Results: 44% (n=378; 22% white, 41% black, 35% Hispanic, 2% other) of 2 month-old infants in Greenlight were exclusively formula-fed, and nearly half (46%) of exclusively formula fed babies were fed with large bottles at 2 months of age. When adjusted for covariates, infants gained 0.23 kg more over the subsequent 4 months if they used a large bottle at 2 months (95% CI: 0.06-0.39; p=0.01) and WFLZ increased by 0.34 (95% CI: 0.10-0.58; p=0.01). Conclusions: We found a significant effect of using a large bottle at 2 months of age on weight gain and change in WFL z-score at 6 months of age, even when controlled for presumed covariates. Among exclusively formula fed infants, bottle size may be a modifiable risk factor for rapid infant weight gain and deserves controlled intervention study.

description: We investigate whether selfish/Goldilocks Higgs models can be extended to accomodate vacua with both the right Higgs mass and cosmological constant. Through the introduction of multiple four-form fields coupled with the Higgs scalar boson we find that both the cosmological constant and the electroweak hierarchy problems can be addressed simultaneously, without inserting the relevant physical scales by hand and avoiding fine tuning. The resulting bounds on the brane charges, the only dimensionful free parameter of the theory, depend on the strength of the four-form scalar coupling and can be of the same order of magnitude as those necessary for a solution to the cosmological constant problem alone via the Bousso-Polchinski mechanism.

Coordinating Services for Survivors of Human Trafficking

description: Human trafficking has gained increased attention from the medical community. One study reported that 87.8% of those trafficked for sexual exploitation had contact with a health care provider , representing an opportunity for health care providers to intervene (Lederer and Wetzel 2014) Recent research has emphasized increased awareness and screening by health care providers as key to identifying victims of human trafficking (Simich et at 2014) However once identified, survivors require comprehensive care to address short-term and long-term needs that ensure an individual’s safety, privacy and dignity. This study aims to understand how health care providers can improve utilization of resources that community advocates say survivors of human trafficking most need. This study performed a systematic review of the literature along with four key stakeholder interviews to understand 1) the needed resources to aid survivors of human trafficking and 2) how medical providers can better understand and utilize these resources in referring an identified victim. One interview from a community advocates addressed resources most needed by survivors. Three interviews of medical providers addressed knowledge and utilization of resources by providers in referring patients. Results exposed gaps in health care provider identification of victims and referrals to needed community resources. Difficulty with identification resulted from lack of provider training and time constraints. Having an established interdisciplinary referral system seemed to provide the best coordination of aftercare services. These finding suggest the need to have adequate referral protocols and partnerships with community stakeholders when identifying victims of human trafficking.

description: Despite extensive investigations, a topological state that hosts Majorana edge modes in the magnetic field-induced quantum disordered state of the Kitaev candidate material $α$-RuCl$_3$ has been hotly debated. To gain more insight into this issue, we measured the thermal Hall conductivity $κ_{xy}$ of various samples grown by the Bridgman method. The results show that the half-integer quantum thermal Hall effect is intimately related to the magnitude of longitudinal thermal conductivity and the Néel temperature at zero field, both of which are sample dependent. Samples exhibiting the half-integer quantum thermal Hall effect have larger zero-field thermal conductivity values than a threshold value, implying that a long mean free path of heat carriers is an important prerequisite. In addition, we find that samples with a higher Néel temperature exhibit a higher magnetic field at which quantization starts to occur. These results indicate that the quantization phenomenon is significantly affected by the impurity scatterings and the non-Kitaev interactions.

description: We explore the electromagnetic counterparts that will associate with binary neutron star mergers for the case that remnant massive neutron stars survive for $\gtrsim 0.5\,$s after the merger. For this study, we employ the outflow profiles obtained by long-term general-relativistic neutrino-radiation magneto-hydrodynamics simulations with a mean field dynamo effect. We show that a synchrotron afterglow with high luminosity can be associated with the merger event if the magnetic fields of the remnant neutron stars are significantly amplified by the dynamo effect. We also perform a radiative transfer calculation for kilonovae and find that for the highly amplified magnetic field cases, the kilonovae can be bright in the early epoch, while it shows the optical emission rapid declining in a few days and the long-lasting ($\sim 10\,{\rm d}$) emission very bright in the near-infrared wavelength. All these features have not been found in GW170817, indicating that the merger remnant neutron star formed in GW170817 might have collapsed to a black hole within several hundreds ms or magnetic-field amplification might be a minor effect.

description: We report the discovery of two additional planetary companions to WASP-41 and WASP-47. WASP-41 c is a planet of minimum mass 3.18 $\pm$ 0.20 M$_{\rm Jup}$ and eccentricity 0.29 $\pm$ 0.02, and it orbits in 421 $\pm$ 2 days. WASP-47 c is a planet of minimum mass 1.24 $\pm$ 0.22 M$_{\rm Jup}$ and eccentricity 0.13 $\pm$ 0.10, and it orbits in 572 $\pm$ 7 days. Unlike most of the planetary systems that include a hot Jupiter, these two systems with a hot Jupiter have a long-period planet located at only $\sim$1 au from their host star. WASP-41 is a rather young star known to be chromospherically active. To differentiate its magnetic cycle from the radial velocity effect induced by the second planet, we used the emission in the H$α$ line and find this indicator well suited to detecting the stellar activity pattern and the magnetic cycle. The analysis of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect induced by WASP-41 b suggests that the planet could be misaligned, though an aligned orbit cannot be excluded. WASP-47 has recently been found to host two additional transiting super Earths. With such an unprecedented architecture, the WASP-47 system will be very important for understanding planetary migration.

description: In this article we investigate $^{40,48}$Ca+$^{40,48}$Ca peripheral and semi-peripheral reactions at 35 MeV/nucleon. Data were obtained using the unique coupling of the VAMOS high acceptance spectrometer and the INDRA charged particle multidetector.The spectrometer allowed high resolution measurement of charge, mass and velocity of the cold projectile-like fragment (PLF), while the INDRA detector recorded coincident charged particles with nearly $4π$ acceptance.The measured isotopic composition of the PLF identified in VAMOS and the average light charged particle (LCP) multiplicities are promising observables to study the isospin diffusion.The detection of the PLF in coincidence with LCP allows the reconstruction of the mass, charge and excitation energy of the associated initial quasi-projectile nuclei (QP), as well as the extraction of apparent temperatures.We investigate the suitability of the isoscaling method with the PLF and the experimental reconstructed QP.The extracted $α$ and $Δ$ isoscaling parameters present a dependence on the considered system combination that could justify their use as a surrogate for isospin asymmetry in isospin transport studies.The reconstruction of the QP allows to observe an evolution of the $α/Δ$ with the size of the QP, the latter being consistent with a strong surface contribution to the symmetry energy term in finite nuclei. This leads to the conclusion that the reconstruction of the primary source is mandatory for the study of the symmetry energy term based on the isoscaling method for such reactions.

description: Dramatically improved data from observatories like the CoRoT and Kepler spacecraft have recently facilitated nonlinear time series analysis and phenomenological modeling of variable stars, including the search for strange (aka fractal) or chaotic dynamics. We recently argued [Lindner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114 (2015) 054101] that the Kepler data includes "golden" stars, whose luminosities vary quasiperiodically with two frequencies nearly in the golden ratio, and whose secondary frequencies exhibit power-law scaling with exponent near -1.5, suggesting strange nonchaotic dynamics and singular spectra. Here we use a series of phenomenological models to make plausible the connection between golden stars and fractal spectra. We thereby suggest that at least some features of variable star dynamics reflect universal nonlinear phenomena common to even simple systems.

description: Dislocation-assisted phase separation processes in binary systems subjected to irradiation effect are studied analytically and numerically. Irradiation is described by athermal atomic mixing in the form of ballistic flux with spatially correlated stochastic contribution. While studying the dynamics of domain size growth we have shown that the dislocation mechanism of phase decomposition delays the ordering processes. It is found that spatial correlations of the ballistic flux noise cause segregation of dislocation cores in the vicinity of interfaces effectively decreasing the interface width. A competition between regular and stochastic components of the ballistic flux is discussed.

description: Deliverable D9.4 of the Nunataryuk project. This report presents first an overview of a theoretical risk framework, including a Compass Model and Methodological Flow Chart, developed to help facilitate the gathering of coastal risks in a systematic way, to make assessments and apply different tools and analysis to contribute to more effective risk management at the local level in Arctic coastal communities. The development of this framework is motivated by the fact that thawing permafrost creates risks to the environment, economy, and culture of affected Arctic coastal communities, and more effective identification of these risks and the inclusion of the societal context and co-production with local stakeholders can provide the basis for effective risk management, reduced risks, and a more sustainable future (Larsen et al. 2021). The risk framework and modelling was developed during the Nunataryuk project period and has provided the framework for identifying key risks from permafrost thaw in case study regions along the Arctic Coast; Ilulissat, West Greenland; Longyearbyen, Svalbard; Beaufort Sea Region, Yukon Coast and Mackenzie River Delta; and Northern Sakha (Yakutiya), Russia. We first demonstrate the use of the risk framework by presenting a generalized risk analysis that highlights five key hazards of permafrost thaw, as well as key physical processes/drivers that lead to physical, chemical and biological impacts that create five key hazards. Secondly, we present a risk diagram (which will appear in the Atlas of Permafrost in 2023), which shows the impacts of permafrost thaw along the Arctic coast. Next, we present local specific risk data from research conducted within the four case study areas, including results from a survey. A central element within the risk framework presented here is the notion of the dual dimensions of risk – the recognition of risk as both physical and socially constructed – and the importance of risk perceptions of permafrost affected Arctic communities, which facilitate the coproduction of knowledge. Overall, our case studies show that permafrost thaw in local communities along the Arctic coast has negative impacts for all of the central quality of life domains, with risks to infrastructure and built environment, economy and planning being particularly challenging and necessitating critical trade-offs for many local stakeholders, including from private and public sectors.

description: Most of the gamma-ray emitting active galactic nuclei (AGN) are blazars, although there is still a small fraction of non-blazar AGN in the Fermi/LAT catalog. Among these misaligned gamma-ray-emitting AGN, a few can be classified as Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs). In contrast to blazars in which gamma-ray emission is generally thought to originate from highly beamed relativistic jets, the source of gamma-ray emission in unbeamed CSOs remains an open question. The rarity of the gamma-ray emitting CSOs is a mystery as well. Here we present the radio properties of the gamma-ray CSO candidate 2234+282.

description: We introduce turboMagnon, an implementation of the Liouville-Lanczos approach to linearized time-dependent density-functional theory, designed to simulate spin-wave spectra in solid-state materials. The code is based on the noncollinear spin-polarized framework and the self-consistent inclusion of spin-orbit coupling that allow to model complex magnetic excitations. The spin susceptibility matrix is computed using the Lanczos recursion algorithm that is implemented in two flavors - the non-Hermitian and the pseudo-Hermitian one. turboMagnon is open-source software distributed under the terms of the GPL as a component of Quantum ESPRESSO. As with other components, turboMagnon is optimized to run on massively parallel architectures using native mathematical libraries (LAPACK and FFTW) and a hierarchy of custom parallelization layers built on top of MPI. The effectiveness of the code is showcased by computing magnon dispersions for the CrI$_3$ monolayer, and the importance of the spin-orbit coupling is discussed.

description: In this talk, I present a theory of quantum gravity beyond Einstein. The theory is established based on spinnic and scaling gauge symmetries by treating the gravitational force on the same footing as the electroweak and strong forces. A bi-frame space-time is initiated to describe the laws of nature. One frame space-time is a globally flat coordinate Minkowski space-time that acts as an inertial reference frame for the motions of fields, the other is a locally flat non-coordinate Gravifield space-time that functions as an interaction representation frame for the degrees of freedom of fields. The Gravifield is sided on both the globally flat coordinate space-time and locally flat non-coordinate space-time and characterizes the gravitational force. Instead of the principle of general coordinate invariance in Einstein theory of general relativity, some underlying principles with the postulates of coordinate independence and gauge invariance are motivated to establish the theory of quantum gravity. When transmuting the Gravifield basis into the coordinate basis in Minkowski space-time, it enables us to obtain equations of motion for all quantum fields and derive basic conservation laws for all symmetries. When the spinnic and scaling gauge symmetries are broken down to a background structure that possesses the global Lorentz and scaling symmetries, we arrive at a Lorentz invariant and conformally flat background Gravifield space-time that is characterized by a cosmic vector with a non-zero cosmological mass scale. We also obtain the massless graviton and massive spinnon. We show a mechanism for quantum inflation caused by the quantum loop contributions. The Einstein theory of general relativity is expected to be an effective low energy theory. Two types of gravity equation are resulted.

description: Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) is one of the serious complications of radiotherapy for thoracic tumors, which is a fatal disorder. Radiation damage is to a large extent caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen (ROS). Although pirfenidone was approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, its inhibitory effect on ROS is limited. Hence, using 10-carboxyl-pirfenidone and 1,10-phenanthroline as the ligand, a nanoscale complex with Cerium(III) as the central atom was designed (NPs Ce(phen)Pirf3) in the present study. Using the irradiation fibrosis model of RLE-6TN cell strain and C57 mice, the complex significantly improved ROS scavenging and alleviated radiation-induced lung pathological changes, showed improvement in lung function during 4~16 weeks, and regulated the expression of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, α-SMA, and TGF-β1 to alleviate RIPF. Cerium(III) and 1,10-phenanthroline in the molecule endow NPs Ce(phen)Pirf3 with blue fluorescence, and the nanostructures enable NPs Ce(phen)Pirf3 sustained release for 4h. On the other hand, benefiting from Ce-containing, the role of the complex in reducing the growth of two typical thoracic tumor models (A549 and 4T1) was investigated. Taken together, our research emphasized with the differential effect of NPs Ce(phen)Pirf3 on the treatment of RIPF and tumor destruction, which would provide a new promise for radioprotection.
Music as a Public Health Intervention in a Public Setting: A Review Of The Literature

description: Music therapy has been part of the human condition dating back to the time of Pythagoras. Music inspires and gives pleasure to us all in both domestic and in public settings ranging from our homes to shopping malls, train stations and airports, office settings, department stores and amusement parks. Listening to music may provide relaxation, reduce pain sensation, or reduce symptoms of depression or schizophrenia. Could music listening be used to improve the public’s health in a public setting? This article examines the current uses of music therapy and discusses the uses of music as a public health intervention in a public setting. Further, it suggests that much more research should be conducted to discover the many different ways in which ambient music could be utilized in a public setting to improve the physical and mental health of the general public.

description: A catalogue of the morphological features for the complete Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S$^4$G), including 2352 nearby galaxies, is presented. The measurements are made using 3.6 $μ$m images, largely tracing the old stellar population; at this wavelength the effects of dust are also minimal. The measured features are the sizes, ellipticities, and orientations of bars, rings, ringlenses, and lenses. Measured in a similar manner are also barlenses (lens-like structures embedded in the bars), which are not lenses in the usual sense, being rather the more face-on counterparts of the boxy/peanut structures in the edge-on view. In addition, pitch angles of spiral arm segments are measured for those galaxies where they can be reliably traced. More than one pitch angle may appear for a single galaxy. All measurements are made in a human-supervised manner so that attention is paid to each galaxy. We used isophotal analysis, unsharp masking, and fitting ellipses to measured structures. We find that the sizes of the inner rings and lenses normalized to barlength correlate with the galaxy mass: the normalized sizes increase toward the less massive galaxies; it has been suggested that this is related to the larger dark matter content in the bar region in these systems. Bars in the low mass galaxies are also less concentrated, likely to be connected to the mass cut-off in the appearance of the nuclear rings and lenses. We also show observational evidence that barlenses indeed form part of the bar, and that a large fraction of the inner lenses in the non-barred galaxies could be former barlenses in which the thin outer bar component has dissolved.

description: We consider a hybrid single-electron transistor (SET) constituted by a gate-controlled normal-metal island (N) connected to two voltage-biased superconducting leads (S) by means of two tunnel junctions (S-I-N-I-S), operated as a turnstile. We show that the exchange of photons between this system and the high-temperature electromagnetic environment where it is embedded enhances Andreev reflection, thereby limiting the single-electron tunneling accuracy.

description: We develop a new method for bosonizing the Fermi surface based on the formalism of the coadjoint orbits. This allows one to parametrize the Fermi surface by a bosonic field that depends on the spacetime coordinates and on the position on the Fermi surface. The Wess-Zumino-Witten term in the effective action, governing the adiabatic phase acquired when the Fermi surface changes its shape, is completely fixed. As an effective field theory the action also involves a Hamiltonian which contains, beside the kinetic energy and the Landau interaction, terms with arbitrary number of derivatives and fields. We show that the resulting local effective field theory captures both linear and nonlinear effects in Landau's Fermi liquid theory. The approach can be extended to incorporate spin degrees of freedom and the charge-2 fields corresponding to the BCS order parameter.

Convection Reconciles the Difference in Efficiencies Between Low-Mass and High-Mass Common Envelopes

description: The formation pathways for gravitational-wave merger sources are predicted to include common envelope (CE) evolution. Observations of high-mass post-common envelope binaries suggest that energy transfer to the envelope during the CE phase must be highly efficient. In contrast, observations of low-mass post-CE binaries indicate energy transfer during the CE phase must be highly inefficient. Convection, a process present in low-mass and high-mass stars, naturally explains this dichotomy. Using observations of Wolf-Rayet binaries, we study the effects of convection and radiative losses on the predicted final separations of high-mass common envelopes. Despite robust convection in massive stars, the effect is minimal as the orbit decays well before convection can transport the liberated orbital energy to the surface. In low-mass systems, convective transport occurs faster then the orbit decays, allowing the system to radiatively cool thereby lowering the efficiency. The inclusion of convection reproduces observations of low-mass and high-mass binaries and remains a necessary ingredient for determining outcomes of common envelopes.
