INTRODUCTION: To enhance the performance evaluation of Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs, we examined the utility of advanced bibliometric measures that go beyond simple publication counts to demonstrate the impact of translational research output. METHODS: The sampled data included North Carolina Translational and Clinical Science Institute (NC TraCS)-supported publications produced between September 2008 and March 2017. We adopted advanced bibliometric measures and a state-of-the-art bibliometric network analysis tool to assess research productivity, citation impact, the scope of research collaboration, and the clusters of research topics. RESULTS: Totally, 754 NC TraCS-supported publications generated over 24,000 citation counts by April 2017 with an average of 33 cites per article. NC TraCS-supported research papers received more than twice as many cites per year as the average National Institute of Health-funded research publications from the same field and time. We identified the top productive researchers and their networks within the CTSA hub. Findings demonstrated the impact of NC TraCS in facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations within the CTSA hub and across the CTSA consortium and connecting researchers with right peers and organizations. CONCLUSION: Both improved bibliometrics measures and bibliometric network analysis can bring new perspectives to CTSA evaluation via citation influence and the scope of research collaborations.

description: Dynamical gauge symmetry breaking on the orbifold $T^2/Z_2$ is shown to occur through quantum dynamics of Wilson line phases. Different sets of boundary conditions on $T^2/Z_2$ can be related to each other by Wilson line phases, forming equivalence classes. The effective potential for Wilson line phases is evaluated at the one loop level in SU(2) gauge theory. Depending on the fermion content, the SU(2) symmetry can be broken either completely or partially to U(1) without introducing additional Higgs scalar fields. When SU(2) is completely broken, each of three components of the gauge fields may acquire a distinct mass. Masses are generated through the combination of $T^2$ twists and dynamics of Wilson line phases.

description: Light transport in a dilute photonic crystal is considered. The analytical expression for the transmission coefficient is derived.Straightening of light under certain conditions in a one-dimensional photonic crystal is predicted. Such behavior is caused by the formation of a localized state in transversal motion. The main contribution to the central diffracted wave transmission coefficient is due to states, that either close to the conductance bands bottom or deeply localized in the forbidden gap. Both these states suppress mobility in the transverse direction and force light to be straightened. Straightening of light in the optical region along with small reflection make these systems very promising for use in solar cells.

Multidimensional permanents of polystochastic matrices

description: A $d$-dimensional matrix is called \emph{$1$-polystochastic} if it is non-negative and the sum over each line equals~$1$. Such a matrix that has a single $1$ in each line and zeros elsewhere is called a \emph{$1$-permutation} matrix. A \emph{diagonal} of a $d$-dimensional matrix of order $n$ is a choice of $n$ elements, no two in the same hyperplane. The \emph{permanent} of a $d$-dimensional matrix is the sum over the diagonals of the product of the elements within the diagonal. For a given order $n$ and dimension $d$, the set of $1$-polystochastic matrices forms a convex polytope that includes the $1$-permutation matrices within its set of vertices. For even $n$ and odd $d$, we give a construction for a class of $1$-permutation matrices with zero permanent. Consequently, we show that the set of $1$-polystochastic matrices with zero permanent contains at least $n^{n^{3/2}(1/2-o(1))}$ $1$-permutation matrices and contains a polytope of dimension at least $cn^{3/2}$ for fixed $c,d$ and even $n\to\infty$. We also provide counterexamples to a conjecture by Taranenko about the location of local extrema of the permanent. For odd $d$, we give a construction of $1$-permutation matrices that decompose into a convex linear sum of positive diagonals. These combine with a theorem of Taranenko to provide counterexamples to a conjecture by Dow and Gibson generalising van der Waerden's conjecture to higher dimensions.

description: Developing computationally-efficient codes that approach the Shannon-theoretic limits for communication and compression has long been one of the major goals of information and coding theory. There have been significant advances towards this goal in the last couple of decades, with the emergence of turbo codes, sparse-graph codes, and polar codes. These codes are designed primarily for discrete-alphabet channels and sources. For Gaussian channels and sources, where the alphabet is inherently continuous, Sparse Superposition Codes or Sparse Regression Codes (SPARCs) are a promising class of codes for achieving the Shannon limits. This survey provides a unified and comprehensive overview of sparse regression codes, covering theory, algorithms, and practical implementation aspects. The first part of the monograph focuses on SPARCs for AWGN channel coding, and the second part on SPARCs for lossy compression (with squared error distortion criterion). In the third part, SPARCs are used to construct codes for Gaussian multi-terminal channel and source coding models such as broadcast channels, multiple-access channels, and source and channel coding with side information. The survey concludes with a discussion of open problems and directions for future work.

In this work, we experimentally demonstrate violation of this inequality with single photons. Our experiment offers a method to study a distinction between quantum and classical correlations from an information-theoretic perspective.

The influence of metagalactic ultra-violet background fluctuations on the high-redshift Ly$α$ forest

description: Under the assumption that galaxies and Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) dominate the metagalactic ultra-violet (UV) background, it is shown that at high redshifts fluctuations in the UV background are dominated by QSO shot noise and have an auto-correlation length of a few to several comoving Mpcs, depending on the bright end of the QSO luminosity function. The correlations create long range spatial coherence in the neutral hydrogen fraction. Using a semi-analytic model, it is demonstrated that the coherence may account for the broad distribution in effective optical depths measured in the Ly$α$ forest spectra of background QSOs, for line-of-sight segments of comoving length $50h^{-1}$ Mpc at redshifts $5

description: We study complementary double split ring THz resonators fabricated on a 10 mum thin Si-membrane. The linewidths of the fundamental LC-mode and dipolar mode are drastically narrowing with increased resonator spacing. The extracted decay rate of the LC-mode as a function of the resonator density shows a linear dependence, evidencing a collective superradiant effect of the resonator array. Furthermore, we show that a metamaterial can be designed for a low superradiant broadening of the resonance at high resonator densities, i.e. in the metamaterial condition. The use of a thin membrane as a substrate is crucial, since it shifts the THz surface plasmon polaritons modes to much higher frequencies, preventing them to couple to the LC mode and unveiling the superradiant broadening mechanism for a large range of lattice spacings. At higher frequencies, not interfering with the high Q LC-mode, other additional modes, which we ascribe to photonic crystal modes, form in the Si-membrane. We map the angle dependent band structure and show corresponding simulated electric field distributions.

This allows to understand various features recently discovered and to unveil at last the physical meaning of the parameters of the BM theory. We also reconsider the supersymmetric (SUSY) formulation of the problem finding that the BM solution satisfies some proper SUSY Ward identities that are different from the standard ones. The SUSY relationships encode the physical meaning of the parameters obtained through the cavity method. The problem of the vanishing prefactor is addressed showing how it can be avoided.

description:
Availability of trained professionals to assist researchers navigating regulatory pathways for new drug and device development is limited within academic institutions. We created ReGARDD (Regulatory Guidance for Academic Research of Drugs and Devices), a regional forum initially involving regulatory professionals from four Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA)-funded institutions, to build and capitalize on local expertise and to develop a regulatory guidance website geared toward academic researchers. Since 2015, members organized 15 forums covering topics such as FDA premarket submissions, gene therapy, and intellectual property for devices and therapeutics. Through user feedback, targeted surveys, and ongoing iterative processes, we refined and maintained a shared regulatory website, which reached 6000+ users in 2019. Website updates improved navigation to drug versus device topic areas, provided new educational content and videos to address commonly asked questions, and created a portal for posting upcoming training opportunities. Survey respondents rated the website favorably and endorsed expanding ReGARDD as a centralized resource. ReGARDD strengthened the regional regulatory workforce, increased regulatory efficiency, and promulgated best organizational and operational practices. Broad-scale deployment of the ReGARDD model across the CTSA consortium may facilitate the creation of a network of regional forums and reduce gaps in access to regulatory support.

We modified the character bounding-box based annotation schema of Kuronet to linebased alto-XML necessary for kraken. The line polygons are convex-hulls of the character bounding-boxes according to basic heuristics. There is currently no segmentation inside kraken that would produce a similar segmentation.

description:
Sedentary behavior, particularly sitting, is ubiquitous in many contemporary societies. This is a major societal concern considering the evidence for a strong association between sitting behavior and cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Unsurprisingly, leading public health agencies have begun to advocate "reduction" in sitting behavior. Though, the guidelines are typically vague and non-specific. The lack of specific guidelines for prolonged sitting is attributable to the absence of available evidence to facilitate guideline development. To inform policy, well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to test the efficacy of specific and translatable sitting reduction strategies. To guide the design of randomized controlled trials, this review postulates that several gaps in the literature first need to be filled. Following a general discussion of the importance of sitting behavior to contemporary societies, each of the following are discussed: (i) acute sitting exposure and systems physiology; (ii) recommendations for a systems physiology toolbox; (iii) study design considerations for acute sitting exposure; and (iv) translation of sitting-focused research.
Reducing the Complexity of Fingerprinting-Based Positioning using Locality-Sensitive Hashing

description: Localization of wireless transmitters based on channel state information (CSI) fingerprinting finds widespread use in indoor as well as outdoor scenarios. Fingerprinting localization first builds a database containing CSI with measured location information. One then searches for the most similar CSI in this database to approximate the position of wireless transmitters. In this paper, we investigate the efficacy of locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) to reduce the complexity of the nearest neighbor-search (NNS) required by conventional fingerprinting localization systems. More specifically, we propose a low-complexity and memory efficient LSH function based on the sum-to-one (STOne) transform and use approximate hash matches. We evaluate the accuracy and complexity (in terms of the number of searches and storage requirements) of our approach for line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS channels, and we show that LSH enables low-complexity fingerprinting localization with comparable accuracy to methods relying on exact NNS or deep neural networks.

description: We show that the HERA data for the inclusive structure function F_2(x,Q^2) for x < 0.01 and 0.045 < Q^2 < 45 GeV^2 can be well described within the color dipole picture, with a simple analytic expression for the dipole-proton scattering amplitude, which is an approximate solution to the non-linear evolution equations in QCD. For dipole sizes less than the inverse saturation momentum 1/Q_s(x), the scattering amplitude is the solution to the BFKL equation in the vicinity of the saturation line. It exhibits geometric scaling and scaling violations by the diffusion term. For dipole sizes larger than 1/Q_s(x), the scattering amplitude saturates to one. The fit involves three parameters: the proton radius R, the value x_0 of x at which the saturation scale Q_s equals 1GeV, and the logarithmic derivative of the saturation momentum λ. The value of λextracted from the fit turns out to be consistent with a recent calculation using the next-to-leading order BFKL formalism.

description: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has been extensively utilized for a number of real-world applications. HSI classification (HSIC) is a challenging task due to high inter-class similarity, high intra-class variability, overlapping, and nested regions. A 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a viable approach whereby HSIC highly depends on both Spectral-Spatial information, therefore, 3D CNN can be an alternative but highly computational complex due to the volume and spectral dimensions. Furthermore, these models do not extract quality feature maps and may underperform over the regions having similar textures. Therefore, this work proposed a 3D CNN model that utilizes both spatial-spectral feature maps to attain good performance. In order to achieve the said performance, the HSI cube is first divided into small overlapping 3D patches. Later these patches are processed to generate 3D feature maps using a 3D kernel function over multiple contiguous bands that persevere the spectral information as well. Benchmark HSI datasets (Pavia University, Salinas and Indian Pines) are considered to validate the performance of our proposed method. The results are further compared with several state-of-the-art methods.

PURPOSE: This qualitative study examined fiscal and administrative (i.e., pre- and post-award grants process) barriers and facilitators to community-engaged research among stakeholders across 4 Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) institutions. METHOD: A purposive sample of 24 key informants from 3 stakeholder groups-community partners, academic researchers, and research administrators-from the CTSA institutions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Medical University of South Carolina, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Yale University participated. Semistructured interviews were conducted in March-July 2018, including questions about perceived challenges and best practices in fiscal and administrative processes in community-engaged research. Transcribed interviews were independently reviewed and analyzed using the Rapid Assessment Process to facilitate key theme and quote identification. RESULTS: Community partners were predominantly Black, academic researchers and research administrators were predominantly White, and women made up two-thirds of the overall sample. Five key themes were identified: level of partnership equity, partnership collaboration and communication, institutional policies and procedures, level of familiarity with varying fiscal and administrative processes, and financial management expectations. No stakeholders reported best practices for the institutional policies and procedures theme. Cross-cutting challenges included communication gaps between stakeholder groups; lack of or limits in supporting community partners' fiscal capacity; and lack of collective awareness of each stakeholder group's processes, procedures, and needs. Cross-cutting best practices centered on shared decision making and early and timely communication between all stakeholder groups in both pre- and post-award processes. CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the importance of equitable processes, triangulated communication, transparency, and recognizing and respecting different financial management cultures within community-engaged research. This work can be a springboard used by CTSA institutions to build on available resources that facilitate co-learning and discussions between community partners, academic researchers, and research administrators on fiscal readiness and administrative processes for improved community-engaged research partnerships.

description: Even if the concerns related to the naturalness of the electroweak scale are repressed, the Higgs mass and stability of the electroweak vacuum do not allow arbitrarily large supersymmetry breaking scale, $M_S$, in the minimal models with split or high-scale supersymmetry. We show that $M_S$ can be raised to the GUT scale if the theory below $M_S$ contains a Higgs doublet, a pair of TeV scale Higgsino and widely separated gauginos in addition to the Standard Model particles. The presence of wino and gluino below ${\cal O}(100)$ TeV leads to precision unification of the gauge couplings consistent with the current limits on the proton lifetime. Wino, at this scale, renders the Higgsino as pseudo-Dirac dark matter which in turn evades the existing constraints from the direct detection experiments. Bino mass scale is required to be $\gtrsim 10^{10}$ GeV to get the observed Higgs mass respecting the current limit on the charged Higgs mass. The framework predicts, $1 \lesssim \tanβ\lesssim 2.2$ and $τ[p\to e^+\, π^0] < 7 \times 10^{35}$ years, almost independent of values of the other parameters. The electroweak vacuum is found to be stable or metastable. The underlying framework provides an example of a viable sub-GUT scale theory of supersymmetric grand unified theory in which supersymmetry and unified gauge symmetry are broken at a common scale.

description: Coulomb correlations in the optical spectra of semiconductor quantum dots are investigated using a full-diagonalization approach. The resulting multi-exciton spectra are discussed in terms of the symmetry of the involved states. Characteristic features of the spectra like the nearly equidistantly spaced s-shell emission lines and the approximately constant p-shell transition energies are explained using simplified Hamiltonians that are derived taking into account the relative importance of various interaction contributions. Comparisons with previous results in the literature and their interpretation are made.

description:
With the advent of value-based care (VBC) programs, public and private insurers have kickstarted a commercial market in population health management. The new VBC companies outline goals of promoting high-quality, cost-efficient, and holistic health care, with several exclusively focused on kidney disease (Table 1). They seek to transform kidney health by offering new care pathways for nephrology providers, health care systems, payers, and patients, and profits for their investors through improved clinical outcomes. This article weighs the expected benefits with potential risks for stakeholders through the lens of potentially addressing the adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) associated with kidney disease.

description: We present two versions of a grid job submission system produced for the BaBar experiment. Both use globus job submission to process data spread across various sites, producing output which can be combined for analysis. The problems encountered with authorisation and authentication, data location, job submission, and the input and output sandboxes are described, as are the solutions. The total system is still some way short of the aims of enterprises such as the EDG, but represent a significant step along the way.

BACKGROUND: Sedentary behavior (SB) is a biologically distinct yet understudied cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) factor. However, specific public health policy regarding the optimal strategy for SB interruption is unavailable. This paper outlines the protocol for part I of the Sitting with Interruption and Whole-Body Cardiovascular Health (SWITCH) study, including the rationale, objectives, methodology, and next steps. We additionally detail practical considerations that went into the development of the NIH R01 grant supporting this research. METHODS: Healthy men and women (n = 56, aged 36-55) who are inactive (<90 min/wk. of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activities for past 3 months) and sedentary (sitting for >8 h/day), will be recruited for this randomized crossover trial. Specifically, participants will complete the following 4-h conditions: (i) SB with once/h 5 min walk break; (ii) SB with once/h 15 min stand break; (iii) SB with twice/h breaks (alternating 5 min walk and 15 min stand); and (iv) SB with no breaks (i.e., control). Focus group discussions will refine our socioecological SB reduction model. RESULTS: The primary outcome will be change in aortic arterial stiffness (i.e., pulse wave velocity; PWV, m/s) for each substitution strategy relative to the control (SB with no breaks) condition. CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes from this study will facilitate the design of a subsequent randomized controlled trial to test a mechanism-informed, feasible SB-reduction intervention and support the development of SB policy.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved impressive performance on handling computer vision problems, however, it has been found that DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial examples. For such reason, adversarial perturbations have been recently studied in several respects. However, most previous works have focused on image classification tasks, and it has never been studied regarding adversarial perturbations on Image-to-image (Im2Im) translation tasks, showing great success in handling paired and/or unpaired mapping problems in the field of autonomous driving and robotics. This paper examines different types of adversarial perturbations that can fool Im2Im frameworks for autonomous driving purpose. We propose both quasi-physical and digital adversarial perturbations that can make Im2Im models yield unexpected results. We then empirically analyze these perturbations and show that they generalize well under both paired for image synthesis and unpaired settings for style transfer. We also validate that there exist some perturbation thresholds over which the Im2Im mapping is disrupted or impossible. The existence of these perturbations reveals that there exist crucial weaknesses in Im2Im models. Lastly, we show that our methods illustrate how perturbations affect the quality of outputs, pioneering the improvement of the robustness of current SOTA networks for autonomous driving.

description:
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated health disparities and rendered them acutely more visible. Special and underrepresented populations need to be fully integrated into the translational research process from the very beginning and all the way through. This article presents findings and rapid analysis mini-case studies from the Environmental Scan (E-Scan) of adaptive capacity and preparedness of Clinical and Translational Science Award hubs, specific to the goal of integrating special and vulnerable populations in different institutional research settings. In our discussion of the findings and case studies, we flexibly apply local adaptive capacity framework concepts and characteristics, and, whenever possible, we present ideas on how to enhance capacity in those areas, based on the challenges and practices identified through the E-Scan. Although the past year has recorded incredible achievements in vaccine development, clinical trials, diagnostics, and overall biomedical research, these successes continue to be hampered by our inability to turn them into achievements equally available and accessible to all populations.

Introduction: We evaluate a CTSA program hub by applying bibliometrics, social network analysis (SNA), and altmetrics and examine the changes in research productivity, citation impact, research collaboration, and CTSA-supported research topics since our pilot study in 2017. Methods: The sampled data included North Carolina Translational and Clinical Science Institute (NC TraCS)-supported publications produced between September 2008 and March 2021. We applied measures and metrics from bibliometrics, SNA, and altmetrics to the dataset. In addition, we analyzed research topics and correlations between different metrics. Results: 1154 NC TraCS-supported publications generated over 53,560 citation counts by April 2021. The average cites per year and the relative citation ratio (RCR) mean of these publications improved from 33 and 2.26 in 2017 to 48 and 2.58 in 2021. The number of involved UNC units in the most published authors' collaboration network increased from 7 (2017) to 10 (2021). NC TraCS-supported co-authorship involved 61 NC organizations. PlumX metrics identified articles with the highest altmetrics scores. About 96% NC TraCS-supported publications have above the average SciVal Topic Prominence Percentile; the average approximate potential to translate of the included publication was 54.2%; and 177 publications addressed health disparity issues. Bibliometric measures (e.g., citation counts, RCR) and PlumX metrics (i.e., Citations, Captures, and Social-Media) are positively correlated (p < .05). Conclusion: Bibliometrics, SNA, and altmetrics offer distinctive but related perspectives to examine CTSA research performance and longitudinal growth, especially at the individual program hub level. These perspectives can help CTSAs build program foci.
