description: We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the half-line with a given Dirichlet (Neumann) boundary datum which for large $t$ tends to the periodic function $g_0^b(t)$ ($g_1^b(t)$). Assuming that the unknown Neumann (Dirichlet) boundary value tends for large $t$ to a periodic function $g_1^b(t)$ ($g_0^b(t)$), we derive an easily verifiable condition that the functions $g_0^b(t)$ and $g_1^b(t)$ must satisfy. Furthermore, we introduce two different methods, one based on the formulation of a Riemann-Hilbert problem, and one based on a perturbative approach, for constructing $g_1^b(t)$ ($g_0^b(t)$) in terms of $g_0^b(t)$ ($g_1^b(t)$).

description: Background Central venous line (CVL) placement in children is often necessary for treatment and may be complicated by central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). We hypothesize that line type and clinical and demographic factors at line placement impact CLABSI rates. Methods This is a single-institution case-control study of pediatric patients (≤18 years old) admitted between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. Case patients had a documented CLABSI. Control patients had a CVL placed during the study period and were matched by sex and age in a 2:1 ratio. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Results We identified 78 patients with a CLABSI and 140 patients without a CLABSI. After controlling for pertinent covariates, patients undergoing tunneled or non-tunneled CVL had higher odds of CLABSI than those undergoing PICC (OR 2.51, CI 1.12-5.64 and OR 3.88, CI 1.06-14.20 respectively), and patients undergoing port placement had decreased odds of CLABSI compared to PICC (OR .05, CI 0.01-.51). There were lower odds of CLABSI when lines were placed for intravenous medications compared to those placed for solid tumor malignancy (OR .15, CI .03-.79). Race and age were not statistically significant risk factors. Discussion Central lines placed for medication administration compared to solid tumors, PICC compared to tunneled and non-tunneled central lines, and ports compared to PICC were associated with lower odds of CLABSI. Future improvement efforts should focus on PICC and port placement in appropriate patients to decrease CLABSI rates.

description: We present numerical simulations for the evolution of an expanding system of massless scalar fields with quartic coupling. By setting a rotating, non-isotropic initial configuration, we compute the energy density, the transverse and longitudinal pressures and the angular momentum of the system. We compare the time scales associated with the isotropization and the decay of the initial angular momentum due to the expansion, and show that even for fairly large initial angular momentum, it decays significantly faster than the pressure anisotropy.

description: Employment growth in manufacturing varies according to city size in the United States. Industrial job growth in the largest metro areas and nonmetro areas has deviated from the patterns set forth in some recent studies. Large metro areas (more than 800,000 people) have failed to generate a favorable distribution of fast-growth industries to stimulate employment growth. Also contrary to expectations, nonmetro areas have boasted a favorable distribution of fast-growth industries as well as an overall increase of fast- and slow-growth industries. Nonmetro areas appear to be taking on some of the functions of the large metro areas.

description: Germanium ionization detectors with sensitivities as low as 100 eVee (electron-equivalent energy) open new windows for studies on neutrino and dark matter physics. The relevant physics subjects are summarized. The detectors have to measure physics signals whose amplitude is comparable to that of pedestal electronic noise. To fully exploit this new detector technique, various experimental issues including quenching factors, energy reconstruction and calibration, signal triggering and selection as well as evaluation of their associated efficiencies have to be attended. The efforts and results of a research program to address these challenges are presented.

description: We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the half-line with a given Dirichlet boundary datum which for large $t$ tends to a periodic function. We assume that this function is sufficiently small, namely that it can be expressed in the form $αg_0^b(t)$, where $α$ is a small constant. Assuming that the Neumann boundary value tends for large $t$ to the periodic function $g_1^b(t)$, we show that $g_1^b(t)$ can be expressed in terms of a perturbation series in $α$ which can be constructed explicitly to any desired order. As an illustration, we compute $g_1^b(t)$ to order $α^8$ for the particular case that $g_0^b(t)$ is the sum of two exponentials. We also show that there exist particular functions $g_0^b(t)$ for which the above series can be summed up, and therefore for these functions $g_1^b(t)$ can be obtained in closed form. The simplest such function is $\exp(iωt)$, where $ω$ is a real constant.

Aspects of the Equivalence Between the $f^μ$ and $c^{νμ}$ Terms in Lorentz-Violating Quantum Field Theory

description: It is known that in Lorentz-violating effective field theory, there is a classical equivalence between certain coefficients ($c$ and $f$), in spite of the fact that the operators the two types of coefficients describe appear to have opposite behaviors under $\textbf{CPT}$. This paper is a continuation of previous work extending this equivalence to the quantum level: generalizing the explicit spinorial point transformations that interconvert the $c$ and $f$ terms; demonstrating that the transformations do not give rise to any additional anomaly terms as the quantum level; and giving explicit prescriptions for modifying the $\textbf{C}$, $\textbf{P}$, and $\textbf{T}$ operators in the $f$ theory, so that they correspond to the correct interchanges of physical particle states.

description: Obesity has recently emerged as a major global health problem. According to World Health Organization estimates, ≈1.6 billion adults worldwide were overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m2) and at least 400 million were obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) in 2005, numbers that are expected to reach 2.3 billion and 700 million, respectively, by 2015. In the United States, the percentage of overweight and obese adults increased markedly from 47% and 15% in 1976 to 1980 to >66% and 33% in 2005 to 2006, with the greatest proportion of increase seen among non-Hispanic black and Mexican American women.1,2 The implications of excess body weight are far-reaching. Epidemiological studies indicate that overweight and obesity are important risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature death.3 In the United States, healthcare expenditures attributable to overweight and obesity are estimated to be $147 billion or 9.1% of total healthcare costs per year.4 Such excess costs could have serious repercussions for resource-poor countries, which must manage the dual burdens of chronic and infectious disease. In the setting of a pandemic of obesity and related chronic diseases, the American Heart Association recently released a scientific statement recommending reductions in added-sugar intake to no more than 100 to 150 kcal/d for most Americans.5 The statement identified sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) as the primary source of added sugars in the American diet.6 Although it has long been suspected that SSBs contribute at least in part to the obesity epidemic, only in recent years have large epidemiological studies been able to substantiate the relationship between SSB consumption and long-term weight gain, T2DM, and cardiovascular risk. It is thought that SSBs contribute to weight gain because of their high added-sugar content, low satiety, and potential incomplete compensation for total …

description: In Shannon theory, semantic aspects of communication were identified but considered irrelevant to the technical communication problems. Semantic communication (SC) techniques have recently attracted renewed research interests in (6G) wireless because they have the capability to support an efficient interpretation of the significance and meaning intended by a sender (or accomplishment of the goal) when dealing with multi-modal data such as videos, images, audio, text messages, and so on, which would be the case for various applications such as intelligent transportation systems where each autonomous vehicle needs to deal with real-time videos and data from a number of sensors including radars. A notable difficulty of existing SC frameworks lies in handling the discrete constraints imposed on the pursued semantic coding and its interaction with the independent knowledge base, which makes reliable semantic extraction extremely challenging. Therefore, we develop a new lightweight hashing-based semantic extraction approach to the SC framework, where our learning objective is to generate one-time signatures (hash codes) using supervised learning for low latency, secure and efficient management of the SC dynamics. We first evaluate the proposed semantic extraction framework over large image data sets, extend it with domain adaptive hashing and then demonstrate the effectiveness of "semantics signature" in bulk transmission and multi-modal data.

description: We report the discovery of a new ``changing-look'' active galactic nucleus (CLAGN) event, in the quasar SDSS J162829.17+432948.5 at z=0.2603, identified through repeat spectroscopy from the fifth Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V). Optical photometry taken during 2020--2021 shows a dramatic dimming of $Δ$g${\approx}$1 mag, followed by a rapid recovery on a timescale of several months, with the ${\lesssim}$2 month period of rebrightening captured in new SDSS-V and Las Cumbres Observatory spectroscopy. This is one of the fastest CLAGN transitions observed to date. Archival observations suggest that the object experienced a much more gradual dimming over the period of 2011--2013. Our spectroscopy shows that the photometric changes were accompanied by dramatic variations in the quasar-like continuum and broad-line emission. The excellent agreement between the pre- and postdip photometric and spectroscopic appearances of the source, as well as the fact that the dimmest spectra can be reproduced by applying a single extinction law to the brighter spectral states, favor a variable line-of-sight obscuration as the driver of the observed transitions. Such an interpretation faces several theoretical challenges, and thus an alternative accretion-driven scenario cannot be excluded. The recent events observed in this quasar highlight the importance of spectroscopic monitoring of large active galactic nucleus samples on weeks-to-months timescales, which the SDSS-V is designed to achieve.

description: Richard Nixon injured his left knee in a limousine door while campaigning in North Carolina in 1960, resulting in septic arthritis that required a multi-day admission to Walter Reed Hospital. Still ill for the first presidential debate that fall, Nixon lost the contest based more on his appearance than his performance. Partly as a result of this debate, he was defeated by John F. Kennedy in the general election. Because of his leg wound, Nixon developed chronic DVTs in that limb, including a severe thrombus in 1974 that embolized to his lung, required surgery, and prevented him from testifying at the Watergate Trial. Episodes like this one highlight the value of studying the health of famous figures, where even the most minor injuries have the potential to influence world history.

description: It is important to accurately model materials' properties at lower length scales (micro-level) while translating the effects to the components and/or system level (macro-level) can significantly reduce the amount of experimentation required to develop new technologies. Robustness analysis of fuel and structural performance for harsh environments (such as power uprated reactor systems or aerospace applications) using machine learning-based multi-scale modeling and robust optimization under uncertainties are required. The fiber and matrix material characteristics are potential sources of uncertainty at the microscale. The stacking sequence (angles of stacking and thickness of layers) of composite layers causes meso-scale uncertainties. It is also possible for macro-scale uncertainties to arise from system properties, like the load or the initial conditions. This chapter demonstrates advanced data-driven methods and outlines the specific capability that must be developed/added for the multi-scale modeling of advanced composite materials. This chapter proposes a multi-scale modeling method for composite structures based on a finite element method (FEM) simulation driven by surrogate models/emulators based on microstructurally informed meso-scale materials models to study the impact of operational parameters/uncertainties using machine learning approaches. To ensure optimal composite materials, composite properties are optimized with respect to initial materials volume fraction using data-driven numerical algorithms.

I toponimi indicati sulle mappe permettono di identificare i luoghi di cui parlano i documenti, ne chiariscono le funzioni d’uso e la rilevanza per l’economia locale. Attraverso l’analisi di alcune carte realizzate tra l’inizio del XVI e la fine del XVII secolo, la ricerca di riscontri documentari negli archivi e di riscontri materiali sul territorio, si propone un esempio di una metodologia applicabile per un ulteriore sviluppo degli studi.

Geographical maps are a valuable tool for connecting documentary data that emerged from archival surveys with material data in the local area. The toponyms indicated on the maps make it possible to identify the places mentioned in the documents, clarify their functions of use and relevance to the local economy. The paper proposes an applicable methodology for further development of studies through the analysis of some maps made between the beginning of the 16th and the end of the 17th century and the search for documentary matches in archives and material matches in the territory.

description: Multiferroics represent a class of advanced materials for promising applications and stand at the forefront of modern science for the special feature possessing both charge polar and magnetic order. Previous studies indicate that the family of RECrO3 (RE = rare earth) compounds is likely another rare candidate system holding both ferroelectricity and magnetism. However, many issues remain unsolved, casting hot disputes about whether RECrO3 is multiferroic or not. For example, an incompatibility exists between reported structural models and observed ferroelectric behaviors, and it is not easy to determine the spin canting degree. To address these questions, one key step is to grow single crystals because they can provide more reliable information than other forms of matter do. In this review, the parent and doped ferroelectric YCrO3 compounds are comprehensively reviewed based on scientific and patent literatures from 1954 to 2022. The materials syntheses with different methods, including poly-, nano-, and single-crystalline samples and thin films, are summarized. The structural, magnetic, ferroelectric and dielectric, optical, and chemical-pressure (on Y and Cr sites by doping) dependent chemical and physical properties and the corresponding phase diagrams, are discussed. Diverse (potential) applications, including anti-corrosion, magnetohydrodynamic electrode, catalyst, negative-temperature-coefficient thermistor, magnetic refrigeration, protective coating, and solid oxide fuel cell, are present. To conclude, we summarize general results, reached consensuses, and existing controversies of the past nearly 69 years of intensive studies and highlight future research opportunities and emerging challenges to address existing issues.

description: Unbalanced probability circulation, which yields cyclic motions in phase space, is the defining characteristics of a stationary diffusion process without detailed balance. In over-damped soft matter systems, such behavior is a hallmark of the presence of a sustained external driving force accompanied with dissipations. In an under-damped and strongly correlated system, however, cyclic motions are often the consequences of a conservative dynamics. In the present paper, we give a novel interpretation of a class of diffusion processes with stationary circulation in terms of a Maxwell-Boltzmann equilibrium in which cyclic motions are on the level set of stationary probability density function thus non-dissipative, e.g., a supercurrent. This implies an orthogonality between stationary circulation $J^{ss}(x)$ and the gradient of stationary probability density $f^{ss}(x)>0$. A sufficient and necessary condition for the orthogonality is a decomposition of the drift $b(x)=j(x)+ D(x)\nablaφ(x)$ where $\nabla\cdot j(x)=0$ and $j(x)$ $\cdot\nablaφ(x)=0$. Stationary processes with Maxwell-Boltzmann equilibrium has an underlying conservative dynamics $\dot{x}= j(x)\equiv$ $\big(f^{ss}(x)\big)^{-1}J^{ss}(x)$, and a first integral $φ(x)\equiv-\ln f^{ss}(x)=$ const, akin to a Hamiltonian system. At all time, an instantaneous free energy balance equation exists for a given diffusion system; and an extended energy conservation law among a family of diffusion processes with different parameter $α$ can be established via a Helmholtz theorem. For the general diffusion process without the orthogonality, a nonequilibrium cycle emerges, which consists of external driven $φ$-ascending steps and spontaneous $φ$-descending movements, alternated with iso-$φ$ motions. The theory presented here provides a rich mathematical narrative for complex mesoscopic dynamics.

description: Der weltweite Bedarf an Lithium steigt beinahe täglich, nicht zuletzt durch die wachsende Nachfrage von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien. Die größten Förderstätten liegen aber meist außerhalb von Europa und konzentrieren sich auf wenige Staaten, was zu einer starken Abhängigkeit von diesen führt. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, hat die EU-Regularien zur Nachhaltigkeit von Batterien festgelegt [1] und fördert die Gewinnung von Lithium aus verschiedenen Rohstoffquellen innerhalb von Europa. Dabei wird, auch neben mineralischen Vorkommen, das Wasser aus Geothermie Anlagen des Rheingrabens als eine mögliche Lithium-Quelle betrachtet.

description: Giant condyloma acuminata (GCA), or Buschke-Löwenstein tumor, is a rare exophytic cauliflower-like growth in the anogenital region. The spectrum of treatment options is wide, ranging from the application of topical ointments to the performance of an abdominoperineal resection. Currently, wide local excision is the most common approach and may entail the creation of a protective loop ileostomy or implementation of flaps or grafts that facilitate closure. We describe a unique surgical approach for the management of circumferential GCA void of the use a protective loop ileostomy, flaps, or grafts. Our report highlights that the implementation of a radical, circumferential, wide excision resulting in “free-floating anus” and healing via secondary intention can ultimately lead to excellent functional and cosmetic results and therefore may be considered a minimally invasive surgical option for patients afflicted with a large, circumferential GCA.
When Age-Invariant Face Recognition Meets Face Age Synthesis: A Multi-Task Learning Framework and A New Benchmark

description: To minimize the impact of age variation on face recognition, age-invariant face recognition (AIFR) extracts identity-related discriminative features by minimizing the correlation between identity- and age-related features while face age synthesis (FAS) eliminates age variation by converting the faces in different age groups to the same group. However, AIFR lacks visual results for model interpretation and FAS compromises downstream recognition due to artifacts. Therefore, we propose a unified, multi-task framework to jointly handle these two tasks, termed MTLFace, which can learn the age-invariant identity-related representation for face recognition while achieving pleasing face synthesis for model interpretation. Specifically, we propose an attention-based feature decomposition to decompose the mixed face features into two uncorrelated components -- identity- and age-related features -- in a spatially constrained way. Unlike the conventional one-hot encoding that achieves group-level FAS, we propose a novel identity conditional module to achieve identity-level FAS, which can improve the age smoothness of synthesized faces through a weight-sharing strategy. Benefiting from the proposed multi-task framework, we then leverage those high-quality synthesized faces from FAS to further boost AIFR via a novel selective fine-tuning strategy. Furthermore, to advance both AIFR and FAS, we collect and release a large cross-age face dataset with age and gender annotations, and a new benchmark specifically designed for tracing long-missing children. Extensive experimental results on five benchmark cross-age datasets demonstrate that MTLFace yields superior performance for both AIFR and FAS. We further validate MTLFace on two popular general face recognition datasets, obtaining competitive performance on face recognition in the wild. Code is available at http://hzzone.github.io/MTLFace.

description: Background Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways improve healthcare quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness. We hypothesized that the RAND Method (a hybrid Delphi approach), involving anonymous sequential surveys and face-to-face meetings, would allow for more rapid agreement and initiation of new ERAS pathways. Methods Using the ERAS Society guidelines for cesarean section as a baseline, our institution’s ERAS Leadership Team (ELT) compiled published literature and institutional practices to design a 32-component survey that was sent to obstetricians, nurse midwives, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, and nurses. Components that did not reach 90% consensus were included in a second survey the following week, and meetings were held to review results. At the conclusion of this process, time to agreement was retrospectively compared to the colorectal ERAS pathway process at this institution. Results ERAS pathway components were compiled and reviewed by 121 stakeholders at 7 hospitals using iterative surveys with review meetings over a 13-week period. Survey response rates were 61% and 50% in the initial and follow-up surveys, respectively. There was agreement on 28/32 and 32/32 items on the initial and follow-up surveys. Using the RAND Method, time to agreement decreased by 54.1% (24 vs 13 weeks) compared to prior system-wide efforts to standardize the colorectal surgery ERAS pathway. Discussion With rapidly expanding healthcare systems, effective methods to gain consensus and adopt ERAS pathways are critical to implementation of ERAS guidelines. We demonstrate that the RAND Method allows for a transparent and efficient means of agreement across a diverse group of clinicians practicing in several settings.
