description: Background: Surgical flaps have become safe and reliable tools in the reconstructive armamentarium. However, total flap loss rates of up to 25% and partial flap loss rates up to 36% are reported in the literature, most often due to insufficient perfusion and the resulting hypoxia.

Star Clusters in M31: VII. Global Kinematics and Metallicity Subpopulations of the Globular Clusters

description: We carry out a joint spatial-kinematical-metallicity analysis of globular clusters (GCs) around the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), using a homogeneous, high-quality spectroscopic dataset. In particular, we remove the contaminating young clusters that have plagued many previous analyses. We find that the clusters can be divided into three major metallicity groups based on their radial distributions: (1) an inner metal-rich group ([Fe/H] > -0.4), (2) a group with intermediate metallicity (with median [Fe/H]=-1), (3) and a metal-poor group, with [Fe/H] < -1.5. The metal-rich group has kinematics and spatial properties like the disk of M31, while the two more metal-poor groups show mild prograde rotation overall, with larger dispersions - in contrast to previous claims of stronger rotation. The metal-poor GCs are the least concentrated group; such clusters occur five times less frequently in the central bulge than do clusters of higher metallicity. Despite some well-known differences between the M31 and Milky Way GC systems, our revised analysis points to remarkable similarities in their chemodynamical properties, which could help elucidate the different formation stages of galaxies and their GCs. In particular, the M31 results motivate further exploration of a metal-rich GC formation mode in situ, within high-redshift, clumpy galactic disks.

description: We evaluated a newly developed Portable Aerosol Collector and Spectrometer (PACS) in the laboratory. We developed an algorithm to estimate mass concentration by size and composition with a PACS. In laboratory experiments, we compared particle size distributions measured with the PACS to research instruments for multi-modal aerosols: two-mode generated by spark discharge, consisting of ultrafine (fresh Mn fume) and fine particles (aged Cu fume); and three-mode produced by adding coarse particles (Arizona road dust) to the two-mode. Near-real-time size distributions from the PACS compared favorably to those from a scanning mobility particle sizer and an aerodynamic particle sizer for the three-mode aerosol (number, bias = 9.4% and R2  = 0.96; surface area, bias = 17.8%, R2  = 0.77; mass, bias = -2.2%, R2  = 0.94), but less so for the two-mode aerosol (number, bias = -17.7% and R2  = 0.51; surface area, bias = -45.5%, R2  = 0; for mass, bias = -81.75%, R2  = 0.08). Elemental mass concentrations by size were similar to those measured with a nano micro-orifice uniform deposition impactor for coarse-mode particles, whereas agreement was considerably poorer for ultrafine- and fine-mode particles. The PACS has merit in estimating multi-metric concentrations by size and composition but requires further research to resolve discrepancies identified for two-mode aerosol.

description: We propose a method to achieve high degree control of nanomechanical oscillators by coupling their mechanical motion to single spins. By manipulating the spin alone and measuring its quantum state heralds the cooling or squeezing of the oscillator even for weak spin-oscillator couplings. We analytically show that the asymptotic behavior of the oscillator is determined by a spin-induced thermal filter function whose overlap with the initial thermal distribution of the oscillator determines its cooling, heating or squeezing. Counterintuitively, the rate of cooling dependence on the instantaneous thermal occupancy of the oscillator renders robust cooling or squeezing even for high initial temperatures and damping rates. We further estimate how the proposed scheme can be used to control the motion of a thin diamond cantilever by coupling it to its defect centers at low temperature.

description: The digital exhaust left by flows of physical and digital commodities provides a rich measure of the nature, strength and significance of relationships between countries in the global network. With this work, we examine how these traces and the network structure can reveal the socioeconomic profile of different countries. We take into account multiple international networks of physical and digital flows, including the previously unexplored international postal network. By measuring the position of each country in the Trade, Postal, Migration, International Flights, IP and Digital Communications networks, we are able to build proxies for a number of crucial socioeconomic indicators such as GDP per capita and the Human Development Index ranking along with twelve other indicators used as benchmarks of national wellbeing by the United Nations and other international organisations. In this context, we have also proposed and evaluated a global connectivity degree measure applying multiplex theory across the six networks that accounts for the strength of relationships between countries. We conclude with a multiplex community analysis of the global flow networks, showing how countries with shared community membership over multiple networks have similar socioeconomic profiles. Combining multiple flow data sources into global multiplex networks can help understand the forces which drive economic activity on a global level. Such an ability to infer proxy indicators in a context of incomplete information is extremely timely in light of recent discussions on measurement of indicators relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals.

description: We study the propagation of a hole in degenerate (paramagnetic) spin environments. This canonical problem has important connections to a number of physical systems, and is perfectly suited for experimental realization with ultra-cold atoms in an optical lattice. At the short-to-intermediate timescale that we can access using a stochastic-series-type numeric scheme, the propagation turns out to be distinctly non-diffusive with the proba- bility distribution featuring minima in both space and time due to quantum interference, yet the motion is not ballistic, except at the beginning. We discuss possible scenarios for long-term evolution that could be explored with an unprecedented degree of detail in experiments with single-atom resolved imaging.

description: The next generation of experiments in particle physics will for the first time systematically test flavor physics models based on flavon fields. Starting from the current quark-flavor constrains on such models we show how the new generation of lepton flavor experiments will dominate indirect searches in the coming decades. A future 100 TeV hadron collider will then be the first experiment to probe flavons as propagating degrees of freedom. Our estimate of the collider reach relies on a proper treatment of backgrounds and detector effects. Complementary searches for indirect effects in lepton flavor experiments and propagating degrees of freedom at colliders are very limited at the LHC, but will be a new feature at a 100 TeV hadron collider.

description: Light-absorbing organic aerosol (brown carbon, BrC) impacts the radiative balance of the earth’s atmosphere; however, the magnitude of this impact is poorly constrained due to uncertainties in BrC sources, composition, and lifetime. In particular, the role of chemical “aging” on the optical properties of BrC particles is poorly understood. Here we carry out laboratory studies aimed at understanding how one such aging process, heterogeneous oxidation, may affect the chemical and optical properties of biomass burning-derived BrC. We generate BrC from smoldering ponderosa pine needles, oxidize the BrC in a flow reactor, and use simultaneous measurements of aerosol optical properties and chemical composition to monitor changes upon oxidation. Under the set of conditions investigated here, we find that with increased oxidant exposure, the aerosol becomes more oxidized and less absorbing, presumably due to oxidative degradation of the chromophores. Both the kinetics and evolution of this process are oxidant dependent. While heterogeneous oxidation by ozone results in a rapid “bleaching” of the BrC (i.e., decrease in absorptivity), a substantial fraction of the BrC is resistant to bleaching by this mechanism. In contrast, bleaching due to heterogeneous oxidation by OH in the presence of ozone remains active over long timescales (timescale of days), suggesting a sustained evolution of BrC optical properties throughout the aerosol atmospheric lifetime.

description: The momentum transfer dependence of the magnetic form factor associated with the quasielastic spectral component in the dynamic magnetic response of intermediate valence SmB$_{6}$ has been measured using inelastic neutron scattering on a double-isotope ($^{154}$Sm, $^{11}$B) single crystal. The experimental dependence differs qualitatively from those obtained earlier for the inelastic signals, as well as from the field-induced magnetic form factor of SmB$_{6}$ obtained by polarized neutron diffraction. This observation is interpreted by specifically considering the Curie-type contributions to the dynamic susceptibility, which arise from the mixing of 4f$^{5}$ and 4f$^{6}$ J-multiplets into the intermediate valence state wave function.

Investigating Patient Trust in Doctors: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Out-Patient Departments in Fiji
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Health and community services

description: Despite evidence on the positive impact of trust in a doctor-patient relationship on health outcomes, there are limited studies conducted in Pacific Island Countries including Fiji. This study was conducted to assess the current level of patient trust in doctors and investigate its determinants in Fiji. Method: A random sample of 410 participants attending the outpatient services completed the self-administered structured questionnaire. The response rate was 91% (N=375) and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and analytic analysis using logistic regression. Result: Mean age of participants was 38years (±15yrs). The majority of patients had partial trust in their doctors compared to full trust (61.6% vs 38.4%). More than half of the participants perceived doctor’s communication behavior as fair rather than good (53.6% vs 45.6%). Those over 50 years (OR 1.96; p=0.007, 95% CI: 1.198–3.226) and those who perceived doctors’ communication behavior as good (OR 8.48; p=0.0001, 95% CI: 5.257–13.709) were significantly more likely to have full trust in the doctors. Conclusion: This study reveals that age and communication are determinants of trust in Fiji. In view of the current perception of the doctors’ communication behavior, Fiji’s Ministry of Health and Medical Services should implement policies to give equal importance to the communication skills of the doctors together with their clinical skills and enforce it in the medical schools.

description: The relative desorption energies of CO and N$_2$ are key to interpretations of observed interstellar CO and N$_2$ abundance patterns, including the well-documented CO and N$_2$H$^+$ anti-correlations in disks, protostars and molecular cloud cores. Based on laboratory experiments on pure CO and N$_2$ ice desorption, the difference between CO and N$_2$ desorption energies is small; the N$_2$-to-CO desorption energy ratio is 0.93$\pm$0.03. Interstellar ices are not pure, however, and in this study we explore the effect of water ice on the desorption energy ratio of the two molecules. We present temperature programmed desorption experiments of different coverages of $^{13}$CO and $^{15}$N$_2$ on porous and compact amorphous water ices and, for reference, of pure ices. In all experiments, $^{15}$N$_2$ desorption begins a few degrees before the onset of $^{13}$CO desorption. The $^{15}$N$_2$ and $^{13}$CO energy barriers are 770 and 866 K for the pure ices, 1034-1143 K and 1155-1298 K for different sub-monolayer coverages on compact water ice, and 1435 and 1575 K for $\sim$1 ML of ice on top of porous water ice. For all equivalent experiments, the N$_2$-to-CO desorption energy ratio is consistently 0.9. Whenever CO and N$_2$ ice reside in similar ice environments (e.g. experience a similar degree of interaction with water ice) their desorption temperatures should thus be within a few degrees of one another. A smaller N$_2$-to-CO desorption energy ratio may be present in interstellar and circumstellar environments if the average CO ice molecules interacts more with water ice compared to the average N$_2$ molecules.

description: We study the optical properties of hydrogen passivated silicon, germanium and mixed Ge/Si core/shell quantum dots (QDs) using high accuracy Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDFT). We employ the hybrid DFT functional of Becke, Lee, Yang and Parr (B3LYP) in combination with good quality basis sets. As we have shown in our previous work, this combination is an accurate and computationally efficient way for such calculations. The mixed quantum dots, as would be expected, are more versatile and offer more possibilities for band gap engineering, with gap values (electronic and optical) between those of the corresponding Si and Ge dots. Our results support the quantum confinement theory for all three types of QDs.

description: I review the literature covering the issue of interstellar extinction toward the Milky Way bulge, with emphasis placed on findings from planetary nebulae, RR Lyrae, and red clump stars. I also report on observations from HI gas and globular clusters. I show that there has been substantial progress in this field in recent decades, most particularly from red clump stars. The spatial coverage of extinction maps has increased by a factor $\sim 100 \times$ in the past twenty years, and the total-to-selective extinction ratios reported have shifted by $\sim$20-25\%, indicative of the improved accuracy and separately, of a steeper-than-standard extinction curve. Problems remain in modelling differential extinction, explaining anomalies involving the planetary nebulae, and understanding the difference between bulge extinction coefficients and "standard" literature values.

In the interest of food safety: a qualitative study investigating communication and trust between food regulators and food industry in the UK, Australia and New Zealand
Creators: name: Ward, Paul

Subjects: Public health nutrition

description: Food regulatory bodies play an important role in public health, and in reducing the costs of food borne illness that are absorbed by both industry and government. Regulation in the food industry involves a relationship between regulators and members of the industry, and it is imperative that these relationships are built on trust. Research has shown in a variety of contexts that businesses find the most success when there are high levels of trust between them and their key stakeholders. An evidence-based understanding of the barriers to communication and trust is imperative if we are to put forward recommendations for facilitating the (re)building of trusting and communicative relationships. Methods: We present data from 72 interviews with regulators and industry representatives regarding their trust in and communication with one another. Interviews were conducted in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia in 2013. Results: Data identify a variety of factors that shape the dynamic and complex relationships between regulators and industry, as well as barriers to communication and trust between the two parties. Novel in our approach is our emphasis on identifying solutions to these barriers from the voices of industry and regulators. Conclusions: We provide recommendations (e.g., development of industry advisory boards) to facilitate the (re)building of trusting and communicative relationships between the two parties.

description: We report on temperature- and excitation-power-dependent photoluminescence (PL) study of CuInS$_{2}$/ZnS nanocrystals dispersed on a SiO$_{2}$/Si substrate with a confocal micro-PL system. With increasing the excitation power at 22 K and room temperature, the PL spectra are blue-shifted because of the state filling. At low temperature, a small peak is observed at the low energy side of the spectrum, which could be due to the F$\ddot{o}$rster resonance energy transfer between different nanocrystals. The integrated PL intensity increases sublinearly as a function of excitation power with a power factor of around 2/3, which demonstrates the Auger recombination dominated process in the nanocrystals, especially under the high excitation power.

description: Intranasal (IN) esketamine represents an innovative treatment for individuals with treatment resistant depression and depression with suicidal ideation and behavior. Herein, we synthesize extant long-term studies (≥ 4 weeks) regarding this treatment. The interventional studies of IN esketamine in patients with depression having a study period of at least four weeks were included for our synthesis. A meta-analysis was undertaken for the efficacy and safety parameters of adjunctive IN esketamine vs IN placebo with an oral antidepressant. The data excluded from meta-analysis were synthesized narratively. After pooling data from seven randomized controlled trials, treatment with adjunctive IN esketamine vs IN placebo was safe overall, and more effective at decreasing depressive symptoms (d = −0.239; 95%CI = −0.335,-0.142;p < 0.0001), with higher response (RR = 1.221; 95% CI = 1.055,1.428; p = 0.017) and remission (RR = 1.366; 95% CI = 1.182,1.578; p < 0.0001) rates. The year-long trials showed that treatment with adjunctive IN esketamine led to lower relapse rates with no considerable long-term side effects. Intranasal esketamine was demonstrated to be safe, well tolerated, and rapidly effective in individuals with treatment resistant depression, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behavior.

description: Rapid development of modern sequencing platforms enabled an unprecedented growth of protein families databases. The abundance of sets composed of hundreds of thousands sequences is a great challenge for multiple sequence alignment algorithms. In the article we introduce FAMSA, a new progressive algorithm designed for fast and accurate alignment of thousands of protein sequences. Its features include the utilisation of longest common subsequence measure for determining pairwise similarities, a novel method of gap costs evaluation, and a new iterative refinement scheme. Importantly, its implementation is highly optimised and parallelised to make the most of modern computer platforms. Thanks to the above, quality indicators, namely sum-of-pairs and total-column scores, show FAMSA to be superior to competing algorithms like Clustal Omega or MAFFT for datasets exceeding a few thousand of sequences. The quality does not compromise time and memory requirements which are an order of magnitude lower than that of existing solutions. For example, a family of 415 519 sequences was analysed in less than two hours and required only 8GB of RAM. FAMSA is freely available at http://sun.aei.polsl.pl/REFRESH/famsa.

description: The Fermi-surfaces and Elliott-Yafet spin-mixing parameter (EYP) of several elemental metals are studied by \emph{ab initio} calculations. We focus first on the anisotropy of the EYP as a function of the direction of the spin-quantization axis [Phys.~Rev.~Lett.\ \textbf{109}, 236603 (2012)]. We analyze in detail the origin of the gigantic anisotropy in $5d$ hcp metals as compared to $5d$ cubic metals by band-structure calculations and discuss the stability of our results against an applied magnetic field. We further present calculations of light (4$d$ and 3$d$) hcp crystals, where we find a huge increase of the EYP anisotropy, reaching colossal values as large as $6000\%$ in hcp Ti. We attribute these findings to the reduced strength of spin-orbit coupling, which promotes the anisotropic spin-flip hot loops at the Fermi surface. In order to conduct these investigations, we developed an adapted tetrahedron-based method for the precise calculation of Fermi surfaces of complicated shape and accurate Fermi-surface integrals within the full-potential relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green-function method.
Innovating Qualitative Framing Analysis for Purposes of Media Analysis Within Public Health Inquiry

Subjects: Public health not elsewhere classified

description: Public health is said to lack methodological diversity and creativity in media analysis. Although the framing paradigm offers important conceptual and operational insights for undertaking media analysis in public health research, frames are described as “elusive” to measure with their analysis a “methodological black box.” With this article, we aim to foster creative thinking around media analysis in public health and to make the “black box” of framing analysis more transparent, by illustrating the innovation and application of a qualitative framing analysis technique in original public health research. We provide a “how to” guide for this framing analysis method and use data to illustrate methodological challenges encountered during the research. The findings drawn from this method are contrasted with findings gained from thematic analysis applied to the same data. The article concludes by considering the benefits of this type of framing analysis within public health scholarship.
Optical generation of a spatially variant two-dimensional lattice structure by using a phase only spatial light modulator

Year: 2016

description: We propose a simple and straightforward method to generate a spatially variant lattice structures by optical interference lithography method. Using this method, it is possible to independently vary the orientation and period of the two-dimensional lattice. The method consists of two steps which are: numerical synthesis of corresponding phase mask by employing a two-dimensional integrated gradient calculations and experimental implementation of synthesized phase mask by making use of a phase only spatial light modulator in an optical 4f Fourier filtering setup. As a working example, we provide the experimental fabrication of a spatially variant square lattice structure which has the possibility to guide a Gaussian beam through a 90° bend by photonic crystal self-collimation phenomena. The method is digitally reconfigurable, is completely scalable and could be extended to other kind of lattices as well.

description: Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are essential nutrients for plant growth and have been linked to physiological
 processes at the leaf and canopy scales. At the global scale, N and P are also strongly linked to carbon assimilation
 by vegetation. Vegetation models predicting terrestrial carbon uptake have therefore integrated the N cycle, and
 some of the models include the P cycle as well. Accessing information about the N- and P- cycles is thus essential
 but plant trait data for these cycles, e.g. canopy N and P concentrations are often lacking. Remote sensing methods
 offer the possibility to estimate canopy N and P concentrations at different scales. Our research focuses on sensing
 these traits across different scales, from in situ experiments (N and P measurements) up to regional (N measure-
 ments) and continental (N measurements) scale using vegetation indices (VIs). At the local scale, we tested and
 developed VIs for canopy N and canopy N to P ratio (N:P) detection on a grass species, Holcus lanatus, grown
 under three ratios and two levels of N:P supply. Canopy N concentration and canopy N:P were highly correlated
 (R2 = 0.5 – 0.7) with VIs calculated using both the narrow band spectra and the spectra resampled to the spectral
 properties of six satellites sensors (Sentinel 2 - MSI, Sentinel 3 - OLCI, MODIS, Landsat 8 - OLI, RapidEye and
 Worldview 4). At the regional scale, we used the MERIS Terrestrial chlorophyll Index (MTCI) Level 3 product
 from MERIS aboard ENVISAT (ESA) to study the relationship with canopy N. We analyzed 846 Mediterranean
 forest plots located in Catalonia (north eastern Iberian Peninsula). Canopy N concentration was correlated with
 MTCI (R2 = 0.32). The results suggested a strong influence of the plant functional type (PFT) of the plots and the
 relationship for the deciduous broadleaf forest (DBF) plots was stronger than for any other PFTs. We will expand
 this research to the continental scale of Europe using more than 700 temperate forest plots from the ICP forests
 database. As these plots were measured repeatedly over 20 years, this will allow us to study the temporal variation
 of canopy N.

description: One of the most important goals of condensed matter physics is materials by design, i.e. the ability to reliably predict and design materials with a set of desired properties. A striking example is the deterministic enhancement of the superconducting properties of materials. Recent experiments have demonstrated that the metamaterial approach is capable of achieving this goal, such as tripling the critical temperature Tc in Al-Al2O3 epsilon near zero (ENZ) core-shell metamaterial superconductors. However, transport properties of such metamaterials remained much worse compared to conventional superconductors. Here, we demonstrate that an Al/Al2O3 hyperbolic metamaterial geometry is capable of a similar Tc enhancement, while having superior transport and magnetic properties compared to the core-shell metamaterial superconductors. This result opens up numerous new possibilities for metamaterial enhancement of Tc in other practically important simple superconductors, such as niobium and MgB2. It also indicates that the recently discovered hyperbolic properties of high Tc superconductors may play considerable role in superconductivity enhancement in cuprates.
