Nutrition & Physical Activity Newsletters
Creators: name: Dwyer, Dianne
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Background: School-age children in Kettering, Ohio are at risk of morbidity from chronic disease indicated by the percentage of overweight children in the state compared to national averages. A food program has been established to provide children of low-income families free and reduced meals. Currently the food program does not include education on nutrition and physical activity as recommended by national guidelines. Purpose: The purpose of this project is to add an educational intervention for nutrition and physical activity to the current food program in order to meet the current guidelines for nutrition and physical activity. Methods: Monthly newsletters were sent home for students and parents to read, and educational information was posted on social media. The newsletter project was evaluated using a one group pre- and post-test design. A 7-question pre-test was administered at the beginning of the school year to measure knowledge on nutrition and physical activity before the educational program was launched and again post educational intervention. Results: Eighty-nine pre-tests were returned and the average calculated score was 72%. Sixty-eight post-tests were returned with an average score of 67%. Respondents that indicated "Yes" they did read the newsletters had slightly better post scores, with an average of 71%. Conclusions: Although the educational intervention did not improve test scores, other data collected demonstrates that the newsletters and social media video education are effective means of communicating with the population of interest, and qualitative data collected provides useful feedback to improve the food program in the future.

description: Calculations of electronic and optical properties of solids at finite temperature including electron-phonon interactions and quantum zero-point renormalization have enjoyed considerable progress during the past few years. Among the emerging methodologies in this area, we recently proposed a new approach to compute optical spectra at finite temperature including phonon-assisted quantum processes via a single supercell calculation [Zacharias and Giustino, Phys. Rev. B 94, 075125 (2016)]. In the present work we considerably expand the scope of our previous theory starting from a compact reciprocal space formulation, and we demonstrate that this improved approach provides accurate temperature-dependent band structures in three-dimensional and two-dimensional materials, using a special set of atomic displacements in a single supercell calculation. We also demonstrate that our special displacement reproduces the thermal ellipsoids obtained from X-ray crystallography, and yields accurate thermal averages of the mean-square atomic displacements. At a more fundamental level, we show that the special displacement represents an exact single-point approximant of an imaginary-time Feynman's path integral for the lattice dynamics. This enhanced version of the special displacement method enables non-perturbative, robust, and straightforward ab initio calculations of the electronic and optical properties of solids at finite temperature, and can easily be used as a post-processing step to any electronic structure code. Given its simplicity and numerical stability, the present development is suited for high-throughput calculations of band structures, quasiparticle corrections, optical spectra, and transport coefficients at finite temperature.

description: Background: Delayed immune reconstitution is an important risk factor for increased susceptibility to fungal pathogens. However, little is known about the association between the recovery of CD4+T cell subsets and invasion fungal infections (IFIs) in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The aim of the study was to analyze the immune reconstitution characteristics of CD4+T cell subsets and their association with the incidence of IFIs over the first 3 months after allo-HSCT. Methods: Fifty-three patients were included, 13 with IFIs. We assessed CD4+T cell subsets and the mRNA expression of specific transcription factors T-bet, GATA3, RORγt, and Foxp3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells over three time points. The serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10, and TGF-β were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: CD4+T cell subsets increased progressively in non-IFI patients after allo-HSCT. In IFI patients, Th17 cell counts were significantly decreased compared to non-IFI patients at 3 months after allo-HSCT. IFI patients showed the lower ratios of RORγt/GATA3 and RORγt/Foxp3 compared with non-IFI patients. In addition, we observed increased levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 in IFI patients after allo-HSCT. In the multivariate analysis, the occurrence of IFIs was independently associated with the incidence of IFIs. Finally, we observed a lower CD4:CD8 ratio in IFI patients and its association with Th17 cells. Conclusions: These findings supported that Th17 cells may be involved in the immune pathology of IFIs after allo-HSCT.
Pneumococcal Pneumonia in the Older Adult: Increasing Patient Education and Vaccination
Creators: name: Valletta, Jessica E
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Background:Pneumococcal disease is a transmitted infectious illness that results in serious complications and death every year in the United States.  Given their increased susceptibility to the potential complications of this disease, patients aged 65 and older are considered to be high-risk, but vaccination compliance for this population remain well below state and national goals.  
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to increase pneumococcal vaccination rates among adults aged 65 and older in a primary care clinic by increasing patient education.  
Methods: An educational intervention was implemented within a large primary care practice located in Central Massachusetts.  Educational materials were distributed within the clinic, including posters, vaccine information sheets, and flyers.  Cumulative vaccination rates for pneumococcal pneumonia among the target population were analyzed pre and post intervention to evaluate project impact.  Mixed methods were used for analyzing project results. 
Results: Results demonstrated a nearly 10% increase in cumulative vaccination rates after project implementation.  There also proved a statistically significant relationship between patient education and rates of vaccination exists (p < .0001).
Conclusion: The project’s findings demonstrate that increasing patient education in the primary care setting can improve rates of vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia in vulnerable patient populations.

description: Large gains in the rate of cache-aided broadcast communication are obtained using coded caching, but to obtain this most existing centralized coded caching schemes require that the files at the server be divisible into a large number of parts (this number is called subpacketization). In fact, most schemes require the subpacketization to be growing asymptotically as exponential in $\sqrt[\leftroot{-1}\uproot{1}r]{K}$ for some positive integer $r$ and $K$ being the number of users. On the other extreme, few schemes having subpacketization linear in $K$ are known; however, they require large number of users to exist, or they offer only little gain in the rate. In this work, we propose two new centralized coded caching schemes with low subpacketization and moderate rate gains utilizing projective geometries over finite fields. Both the schemes achieve the same asymptotic subpacketization, which is exponential in $O((\log K)^2)$ (thus improving on the $\sqrt[\leftroot{-1}\uproot{1}r]{K}$ exponent). The first scheme has a larger cache requirement but has at most a constant rate (with increasing $K$), while the second has small cache requirement but has a larger rate. As a special case of our second scheme, we get a new linear subpacketization scheme, which has a more flexible range of parameters than the existing linear subpacketization schemes. Extending our techniques, we also obtain low subpacketization schemes for other multi-receiver settings such as distributed computing and the cache-aided interference channel. We validate the performance of all our schemes via extensive numerical comparisons. For a special class of symmetric caching schemes with a given subpacketization level, we propose two new information theoretic lower bounds on the optimal rate of coded caching.

description: In quantum field theory, the splitting of the Hamiltonian into a strong and an electromagnetic part cannot be performed in a unique manner. We propose a convention for disentangling these two effects: one matches the parameters of two theories -- with and without electromagnetic interactions -- at a given scale mu_1, referred to as the matching scale. This procedure enables one to analyze the separation of strong and electromagnetic contributions in a transparent manner. We illustrate the method -- in the framework of the loop expansion -- in a Yukawa model, as well as in the linear sigma model, where we also investigate the corresponding low-energy effective theory.

description: We report on the first 1,432 sources observed using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), from the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) survey, which aims to obtain tens of thousands of line-of-sight velocities from SiO masers in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in the Milky Way. A 71% detection rate of 86 GHz SiO masers is obtained from the infrared color-selected sample, and increases to 80% when considering the likely oxygen-rich stars using Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) colors isolated in a region where [D]-[E] <= 1.38. Based on Galactic distributions, the presence of extended CS emission, and likely kinematic associations, the population of sources with [D]-[E] > 1.38 probably consists of young stellar objects, or alternatively, planetary nebulae. For the SiO detections we examined whether individual SiO transitions provide comparable stellar line-of-sight velocities, and found that any SiO transition is suitable for determining a stellar AGB line-of-sight velocity. Finally, we discuss the relative SiO detection rates and line strengths in the context of current pumping models.

description: Direct CP violation in the b->sgamma process is a sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. We report a measurement of the CP asymmetry in B -> X_s gamma, where the hadronic recoil system Xs is reconstructed using a pseudo-reconstruction technique. In this approach there is negligible contamination from b->dgamma decays, which are expected to have a much larger CP asymmetry. We find ACP = 0.002 +- 0.050(stat.) +- 0.030(syst.) for B -> Xs gamma events having recoil mass smaller than 2.1 GeV/c^2. The analysis is based on a data sample of 140 /fb recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- storage ring.

Implementing the Step It Up Walking Program for Hospital Nurses to Increase Physical Movement
Creators: name: Persby, Molly
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Nurses are at risk for obesity due to shift work, long hours, abnormal eating patterns and job stress. Obesity places nurses at risk for chronic health conditions such as diabetes and coronary artery disease. The goal for this project was to translate evidence of weight loss using the Step it Up Program by launching a pedometer-based walking program for nurses. Measurement methods included pre-intervention measurements of waist and hip circumference in order to calculate waist/hip ratio, and calculate Body Mass Index using a standard BMI Calculator. Fifteen nurses from an inpatient unit of a hospital in southeastern Ohio were issued a FitBit to record the number of steps taken per day, and were then challenged to increase the number of steps per day. Monthly waist and hip measurements, BMI, and steps per day were obtained, demonstrating a total weight loss of 112.2 pounds for the group over a three-month intervention period.    The waist/hip ratio for the group decreased from 0.94 to 0.93 and the participants stated that wearing the device and utilizing the phone app provided positive motivation.  The nurses involved in the intervention were motivated to walk more as a result of wearing the devices, as they were more aware of how little they were moving.

description: The field of machine learning (ML) is concerned with the question of how to construct algorithms that automatically improve with experience. In recent years many successful ML applications have been developed, such as datamining programs, information-filtering systems, etc. Although ML algorithms allow the detection and extraction of interesting patterns of data for several kinds of problems, most of these algorithms are based on quantitative reasoning, as they rely on training data in order to infer so-called target functions. In the last years defeasible argumentation has proven to be a sound setting to formalize common-sense qualitative reasoning. This approach can be combined with other inference techniques, such as those provided by machine learning theory. In this paper we outline different alternatives for combining defeasible argumentation and machine learning techniques. We suggest how different aspects of a generic argument-based framework can be integrated with other ML-based approaches.

description: In the aftermath of the Great Recession, commodity prices have stabilized; however, the reasons are debatable. This paper concentrates on finding the relationship between Federal Reserve monetary policy and other macroeconomic indicators to both a broad commodity price index and an agricultural commodity price index by employing a vector error correction model. Excessive liquidity and the recent long period of ultra-low interest rates appear to have played a statistically significant role in affecting prices in the commodities markets. The responses of commodity prices to monetary policy that we estimate generally conform to earlier findings, but the sensitivity of the responses appears different in the face of the unprecedented scope of recent Fed activism.

description: Non-Hermitian systems, which contain gain or loss, commonly host exceptional point degeneracies rather than the diabolic points found in Hermitian systems. We present a class of non-Hermitian lattice models with symmetry-stabilized diabolic points, such as Dirac or Weyl points. They exhibit non-Hermiticity-induced phenomena previously existing in the Hermitian regime, including topological phase transitions, Landau levels induced by pseudo-magnetic fields, and Fermi arc surface states. These behaviors are controllable via gain and loss, with promising applications in tunable active topological devices.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Price interval forecasts are analyzed in this study focusing on three main characteristics: coverage, error and informativeness. The tradeoff between accuracy and informativeness results from the fact that greater accuracy is achieved at the cost of lower informativeness and vice versa. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate user preferences for these characteristics using experimental methods. Contingent valuation methods were used to elicit user willingness to pay for forecasts with various characteristics. Estimation results demonstrate that coverag

description: We investigate the possibility that Dark Matter (dm) could be made of scalar candidates and focus, in particular, on the unusual mass range between a few MeV's and a few GeV's. After showing why the Lee-Weinberg limit (which usually forbids a dm mass below a few GeV's) does not necessarily apply in the case of scalar particles, we discuss how light candidates (mdm < O(GeV)) can satisfy both the gamma ray and relic density constraints. We find two possibilities. Either dm is coupled to heavy fermions (but if $mdm \lesssim 100$ MeV, an asymmetry between the dm particle and antiparticle number densities is likely to be required), or dm is coupled to a new light gauge boson U. The (collisional) damping of light candidates is, in some circumstances, large enough to be mentioned, but in most cases too small to generate a non linear matter power spectrum at the present epoch that differs significantly from the Cold Dark Matter spectrum. On the other hand, heavier scalar dm particles (ie with $mdm \gtrsim O(GeV)$) turn out to be much less constrained. We finally discuss a theoretical framework for scalar candidates, inspired from theories with N=2 extended supersymmetry and/or extra space dimensions, in which the dm stability results from a new discrete (or continuous) symmetry.

description: The carousel model of pulsar emission attributes the phenomenon of subpulse drifting to a set of discrete sparks located very near the stellar surface rotating around the magnetic axis. Here, we investigate the subpulse drifting behaviour of PSR B0031-07 in the context of the carousel model. We show that B0031-07's three drift modes (A, B, and C) can be understood in terms of a single carousel rotation rate if the number of sparks is allowed to change by an integral number, and where the different drift rates are due to (first-order) aliasing effects. This also results in harmonically-related values for P 3 (the time it takes a subpulse to reappear at the same pulse phase), which we confirm for B0031-07. A representative solution has [n_A, n_B, n_C] = [15, 14, 13] sparks and a carousel rotation period of P_4 = 16.4 P_1. We also investigate the frequency dependence of B0031-07's subpulse behaviour. We extend the carousel model to include the dual effects of aberration and retardation, including the time it takes the information about the surface spark configuration to travel from the surface up to the emission point. Assuming these effects dominate at B0031-07's emission heights, we derive conservative emission height differences of $\lesssim 2000$ km for mode A and $\lesssim 1000$ km for modes B and C as seen between 185 MHz and 610 MHz. This new method of measuring emission heights is independent of others that involve average profile components or the polarisation position angle curve, and thus provides a potentially strong test of the carousel model.

description: Charge-based qubits have been proposed as fundamental elements for quantum computers. One commonly proposed readout device is the single-electron transistor (SET). SETs can distinguish between localized charge states, but lack the sensitivity to directly distinguish superposition states, which have greatly enhanced coherence times compared with position states. We propose introducing a third dot, and exploiting energy dependent tunnelling from the qubit into this dot (bias spectroscopy) for pseudo-spin to charge conversion and superposition basis readout. We introduce an adiabatic fast passage-style charge pumping technique which enables efficient and robust readout via charge shelving, avoiding problems due to finite SET measurement time.

description: Understanding the interplay between the structure, composition and opto-electronic properties of semiconductor nano-objects requires combining transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based techniques with electrical and optical measurements on the very same specimen. Recent developments in TEM technologies allow not only the identification and in-situ electrical characterization of a particular object, but also the direct visualization of its modification in-situ by techniques such as Joule heating. Over the past years, we have carried out a number of studies in these fields that are reviewed in this contribution. In particular, we discuss here i) correlated studies where the same unique object is characterized electro-optically and by TEM, ii) in-situ Joule heating studies where a solid-state metal-semiconductor reaction is monitored in the TEM, and iii) in-situ biasing studies to better understand the electrical properties of contacted single nanowires. In addition, we provide detailed fabrication steps for the silicon nitride membranes crucial to these correlated and in-situ measurements.

description: The Masters Hypothesis is the assertion that large investment inflows into long-only commodity index funds pushed prices far above fundamental value. In particular, the architect of the hypothesis—Michael Masters—suggests that long-only index funds were the cause of a massive increase in commodity prices that culminated in mid-2008. Since that time, there has been a veritable explosion in empirical research on commodity market bubbles and the Masters Hypothesis. In this research we carefully dissect the typology of this literature with particular care given to the distinction between financialization impacts and actual bubble impacts. After carefully defining the characteristics of a Masters-like bubble, simple empirical tests are conducted on the 12 agricultural markets included in the CFTC’s Supplemental Commitments of Traders data base. Price behavior consistent with the Masters Hypothesis is surprisingly difficult to find in the data. This is an important finding given the on-going policy debate and regulations proposed to limit speculative positions in these markets.

Generalized bounce back boundary condition for the nine velocities two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann scheme

description: In a previous work, we have proposed a method for the analysis of the bounce back boundary condition with the Taylor expansion method in the linear case. In this work two new schemes of modified bounce back are proposed. The first one is based on the expansion of the iteration of the internal scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method. The analysis puts in evidence some defects and a generalized version is proposed with a set of essentially four possible parameters to adjust. We propose to reduce this number to two with the elimination of spurious density first order terms. Thus a new scheme for bounce back is found exact up to second order and allows an accurate simulation of the Poiseuille flow for a specific combination of the relaxation and boundary coefficients. We have validated the general expansion of the value in the first cell in terms of given values on the boundary for a stationary "accordion" test case.
Deceptive AI Explanations: Creation and Detection

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) comes with great opportunities but can also pose significant risks. Automatically generated explanations for decisions can increase transparency and foster trust, especially for systems based on automated predictions by AI models. However, given, e.g., economic incentives to create dishonest AI, to what extent can we trust explanations? To address this issue, our work investigates how AI models (i.e., deep learning, and existing instruments to increase transparency regarding AI decisions) can be used to create and detect deceptive explanations. As an empirical evaluation, we focus on text classification and alter the explanations generated by GradCAM, a well-established explanation technique in neural networks. Then, we evaluate the effect of deceptive explanations on users in an experiment with 200 participants. Our findings confirm that deceptive explanations can indeed fool humans. However, one can deploy machine learning (ML) methods to detect seemingly minor deception attempts with accuracy exceeding 80% given sufficient domain knowledge. Without domain knowledge, one can still infer inconsistencies in the explanations in an unsupervised manner, given basic knowledge of the predictive model under scrutiny.

Transport in Nanotubes: Effect of Remote Impurity Scattering
Creators: name: Petrov, Alexey G.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Theory of the remote Coulomb impurity scattering in single--wall carbon nanotubes is developed within one--electron approximation. Boltzmann equation is solved within drift--diffusion model to obtain the tube conductivity. The conductivity depends on the type of the nanotube bandstructure (metal or semiconductor) and on the electron Fermi level. We found exponential dependence of the conductivity on the Fermi energy due to the Coulomb scattering rate has a strong dependence on the momentum transfer. We calculate intra-- and inter--subband scattering rates and present general expressions for the conductivity. Numerical results, as well as obtained analytical expressions, show that the degenerately doped semiconductor tubes may have very high mobility unless the doping level becomes too high and the inter--subband transitions impede the electron transport.

Implementation Barriers of the PHQ-9 in Primary Care: A Quality Improvement Project
Creators: name: Miller, Angela P.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Purpose: The purpose of this research translation project was to mitigate the consequences of under-recognition, and under-treatment of depression through use of an evidence-based depression-screening tool, the PHQ-9, in a primary care setting.
Methods: A plan-do-study-act model was utilized for the implementation of this initiative. An informal educational intervention about administration and interpretation of the PHQ-9 first took place at the provider level in a primary care practice.  Next, a pre and post-test study design (n=12) was administered to providers, nursing, and ancillary staff.  A report was shared at monthly quality meetings with representatives from each practice in the health system. Finally, a system-wide initiative for administration of the PHQ-9 was adopted.  A matched pairs t-test was used to analyze the practice-wide educational initiative. Administration of the PHQ-9 was tracked system-wide at quarterly intervals.
Results:   The change in depression screening between quarters 1 and 4 was 42.5%.  The healthcare system achieved 60% of their target goal in one year. The total knowledge rating of the pre test showed a mean score of 10.8 and post intervention 13.8.  The matched pairs t-test revealed the post test knowledge scores (t(11) = -6.8, p <.001).
Conclusions:  The large volume of individuals seen in the primary care setting affords a rich opportunity for identifying depression.  Current evaluation suggests that the validated PHQ-9 depression-screening tool was effective in the current primary care setting, allowing for purposeful interventions to improve patient outcomes.

description: The United States Department of Agriculture provides information about fundamental supply and demand conditions for major agricultural commodities. We consider whether USDA’s crop reports facilitate price consensus in the winter wheat futures market by testing the hypothesis that uncertainty, as measured by realized price volatility, is reduced following the release of USDA reports. This hypothesis was originally developed in studies using implied volatility and found significant decreases. We instead calculate realized daily and intraday volatility using transaction level data from Kansas City Board of Trade futures contracts. Dates on which USDA reports are released are compared to the ten days around the report. Exploiting the full granularity of data, intraminute volatilities are computed to test whether there are distributional differences between report and non-report days. All results suggest that realized volatility does not decrease following USDA wheat report releases but instead increases. Regression analysis shows this result is robust to the inclusion of a limited but relevant set of controls.

description: Researchers have found it difficult to estimate reliable elasticities of demand for bread. The reason for this difficulty undoubtedly has been the lack of data regarding consumption (production) levels for bread. This paper reports the results of a statistical demand analysis for bread and bread-type roll products using monthly prcduction data derived from Government and industry sources. While there are data limitations in this case also, the results shed some light on the nature of the demand for these products.

description: The costs of obtaining a given level of accuracy in estimating yields of tree fruit might be lowered by the use of photographs or supplemental information on fruiting potential. A small-scale experiment of this sort is described for peaches and apples. A procedure for evaluating the relative cost and efficiency of different methods of estimation is given and some provislOnal judgments of results are offered.
Polaritonic Contribution to the Casimir Energy between two Graphene Layers

description: We study the role of surface polaritons in the zero-temperature Casimir effect between two graphene layers that are described by the Dirac model. A parametric approach allows us to accurately calculate the dispersion relations of the relevant modes and to evaluate their contribution to the total Casimir energy. The resulting force features a change of sign from attractive to repulsive as the distance between the layers increases. Contrary to similar calculations that have been performed for metallic plates, our asymptotic analysis demonstrates that at small separations the polaritonic contribution becomes negligible relative to the total energy.

description: Estimates are made of possible effects in Indiana of a part-farm general cropland retirement program, operating with and without the type of commodity programs that existed until 1970. Conclusions are drawn from estimates for four major groups of crop and livestock farms in each of five areas of Indiana. Results showed, among other things, that percentages of total cropland in com, soybeans, and wheat would probably increase with or without the commodity programs. The increase would be greater without the programs.
