description: This research investigates how communities can meaningfully connect with Cultural Heritage through creative and digital experiences. It also explores how entry barriers can be lowered for a wider set of audiences to increase their participation in such experiences. For this, the research investigates the use of creative and narrative-based approaches, given the potential for stories to illuminate different viewpoints and interpretations of Cultural Heritage. The paper's main technical contribution is a novel approach for re-telling communities' narratives linked to people, objects, sites and events in the urban landscape as told by the community. The research proposed the novel concept of Augmented Reality (AR) Maps, which are physical maps with augmented digital narratives and delivered through Immersive Web technology. This concept is proposed as a means to document and disseminate the narratives in a way which can enhance the public understanding and appreciation of objects and sites in their communities. The approach has been tested with 32 children in local primary school in the city of Brighton and Hove (UK) in order to understand its suitability for community engagement. The significance of the research is that it demonstrates the potential of both creative and digital approaches for enabling meaningful engagement with the Cultural Heritage, while improving the well-being of the participants as well as their sense of community and place.

description: The measurement of extremely small displacements is of utmost importance, both for fundamental studies [1-4], and practical applications [5-7]. One way to estimate a small displacement is to measure the Doppler shift generated in light reflected off an object moving with a known periodic frequency. This remote sensing technique converts a displacement measurement into a frequency measurement, and has been considerably successful [8-14]. The displacement sensitivity of this technique is limited by the Doppler frequency noise floor and by the velocity of the moving object. Other primary limitations are hours of integration time [12,13] and optimal operation only in a narrow Doppler frequency range. Here we show a sensitive device capable of measuring $μ$Hz/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ Doppler frequency shifts corresponding to tens of fm displacements for a mirror oscillating at 2 Hz. While the Doppler shift measured is comparable to other techniques [12.13], the position sensitivity is orders of magnitude better, and operates over several orders of magnitude of Doppler frequency range. In addition, unlike other techniques which often rely on interferometric methods, our device is phase insensitive, making it unusually robust to noise.

The research team used mixed methods to learn about the main challenges that coordinators face, how they utilize Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center support, how their experiences differ based on organizational structure and other factors, and how they approach collaboration. The findings of this study can be used to better understand the current state of statewide active transportation planning, and what kind of support will be useful to bicycle and pedestrian coordinators in the future.
Superconductivity from repulsion: Variational results for the 2D Hubbard model in the limit of weak interaction

description: The two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied for small values of the interaction strength (U of the order of the hopping amplitude t), using a variational ansatz well suited for this regime. The wave function, a refined Gutzwiller ansatz, has a BCS mean-field state with d-wave symmetry as its reference state. Superconducting order is found for densities n <1 (but not for n=1). This resolves a discrepancy between results obtained with the functional renormalization group, which do predict superconducting order for small values of U, and numerical simulations, which did not find superconductivity for U<4t. Both the gap parameter and the order parameter have a dome-like shape as a function of n with a maximum for n about 0.8. Expectation values for the energy, the particle number and the superconducting order parameter are calculated using a linked-cluster expansion up to second order in U. In this way large systems (millions of sites) can be readily treated and well converged results are obtained. A big size is indeed required to see that the gap becomes very small at half filling and probably tends to zero in the thermodynamic limit, whereas away from half filling a finite asymptotic limit is reached. For a lattice of a given size the order parameter becomes finite only above a minimal coupling strength U_c. This threshold value decreases steadily with increasing system size, which indicates that superconductivity exists for arbitrarily small U for an infinite system. For moderately large systems the size dependence is quite irregular, due to variations in level spacings at the Fermi energy. The fluctuations die out if the gap parameter spans several level spacings.

description: Multispectral imaging has become a popular tool to reveal properties and structures in cultural heritage objects that are hidden to the human observer. One of the inherent problems of multispectral imaging applications is chromatic aberration. Due to an extended spectral range, the effect appears more pronounced than in conventional photography in the visible spectrum. This paper is concerned with longitudinal chromatic aberrations, i.e. shifts of the focal plane along the principal axis of the camera, as they are hard to correct in post-processing and should be avoided during acquisition. To this end, a calibration scheme to measure the wavelength- and distance-dependent focal shift behavior of a given camera/lens system is proposed, which allows for a mechanical compensation at acquisition time. The approach is demonstrated on a multispectral imaging system for historical manuscript analysis. We show that the application of this compensation approach enables the acquisition of in-focus images in non-visible wavelengths using a lens optimized for the visible spectrum only.

Dynamics of Line-Driven Winds from Disks in Cataclysmic Variables. II. Mass Loss Rates and Velocity Laws

description: We analyze the dynamics of 2D stationary line-driven winds from accretion disks in cataclysmic variables (CVs), by generalizing the Castor, Abbott and Klein theory. In paper 1, we have solved the wind Euler equation, derived its two eigenvalues, and addressed the solution topology and wind geometry. Here, we focus on mass loss and velocity laws. We find that disk winds, even in luminous novalike variables, have low optical depth, even in the strongest driving lines. This suggests that thick-to-thin transitions in these lines occur. For disks with a realistic radial temperature, the mass loss is dominated by gas emanating from the inner decade in r. The total mass loss rate associated with a luminosity 10 Lsun is 10^{-12} Msun/yr, or 10^{-4} of the mass accretion rate. This is one order of magnitude below the lower limit obtained from P Cygni lines, when the ionizing flux shortwards of the Lyman edge is supressed. The difficulties with such small mass loss rates in CVs are principal, and confirm our previous work. We conjecture that this issue may be resolved by detailed nonLTE calculations of the line force within the context of CV disk winds, and/or better accounting for the disk energy distribution and wind ionization structure. We find that the wind velocity profile is well approximated by the empirical law used in kinematical modeling. The acceleration length scale is given by the footpoint radius of the wind streamline in the disk. This suggests an upper limit of 10 Rwd to the acceleration scale, which is smaller by factors of a few as compared to values derived from line fitting.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the dynamics of 2-D stationary, line-driven winds from accretion disks in cataclysmic variable stars. The driving force is that of line radiation pressure, in the formalism developed by Castor, Abbott & Klein for O stars. Our main assumption is that wind helical streamlines lie on straight cones. We find that the Euler equation for the disk wind has two eigenvalues, the mass loss rate and the flow tilt angle with the disk. Both are calculated self-consistently. The wind is characterized by two distinct regions, an outer wind launched beyond four white dwarf radii from the rotation axis, and an inner wind launched within this radius. The inner wind is very steep, up to 80 degrees with the disk plane, while the outer wind has a typical tilt of 60 degrees. In both cases the ray dispersion is small. We, therefore, confirm the bi-conical geometry of disk winds as suggested by observations and kinematical modeling. The wind collimation angle appears to be robust and depends only on the disk temperature stratification. The flow critical points lie high above the disk for the inner wind, but close to the disk photosphere for the outer wind. Comparison with existing kinematical and dynamical models is provided. Mass loss rates from the disk as well as wind velocity laws are discussed in a subsequent paper.

description: The energy gaps for the fractional quantum Hall effect at filling fractions 1/3, 1/5, and 1/7 have been calculated by variational Monte Carlo using Jain's composite fermion wave functions before and after projection onto the lowest Landau level. Before projection there is a contribution to the energy gaps from the first excited Landau level. After projection this contribution vanishes, the quasielectron charge becomes more localized, and the Coulomb energy contribution increases. The projected gaps agree well with previous calculations, lending support to the composite fermion theory.

description: We demonstrate importance of molecular multiple excitons and higher-order plasmons for both enhancement and quenching of resonance Raman and fluorescence of single dye molecule located at plasmonic hotspot under strong coupling regime. The multiple excitons induce complicated spectral changes in plasmon resonance and higher-order plasmons yield drastic quenching for both resonant Raman and fluorescence. A coupled oscillator model composed of plasmon and multiple excitons reproduces the complicated spectral changes. Purcell factors derived from higher-order plasmons reproduce the drastic quenching with considering ultra-fast surface enhanced fluorescence.

description:
INTRODUCTION: African-Americans in the United States experience greater persistent pain than non-Hispanic Whites across a range of medical conditions, but to our knowledge no longitudinal studies have examined the risk factors or incidence of persistent pain among African-Americans experiencing common traumatic stress exposures such as after a motor vehicle collision (MVC). We evaluated the incidence and predictors of moderate to severe axial musculoskeletal pain (MSAP) and widespread pain six weeks after a MVC in a large cohort of Black adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) for care. METHODS: This prospective, multi-center, cohort study enrolled Black adults who presented to one of 13 EDs across the US within 24 hours of a MVC and were discharged home after their evaluation. Data were collected at the ED visit via patient interview and self-report surveys at six weeks after the ED visit via internet-based, self-report survey, or telephone interview. We assessed MSAP pain at ED visit and persistence at six weeks. Multivariable models examined factors associated with MSAP persistence at six weeks post-MVC. RESULTS: Among 787 participants, less than 1% reported no pain in the ED after their MVC, while 79.8 (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.1 - 82.2) reported MSAP and 28.3 (95% CI, 25.5 - 31.3) had widespread pain. At six weeks, 67% (95% CI, 64, 70%) had MSAP and 31% (95% CI, 28, 34%) had widespread pain. ED characteristics predicting MSAP at six weeks post-MVC (area under the curve = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.72, 0.74) were older age, peritraumatic dissociation, moderate to severe pain in the ED, feeling uncertain about recovery, and symptoms of depression. CONCLUSION: These data indicate that African-Americans presenting to the ED for evaluation after MVCs are at high risk for persistent and widespread musculoskeletal pain. Preventive interventions are needed to improve outcomes for this high-risk group.
Observational Tests of the Mass-Temperature Relation for Galaxy Clusters

description: We examine the relationship between the mass and x-ray gas temperature of galaxy clusters using data drawn from the literature. Simple theoretical arguments suggest that the mass of a cluster is related to the x-ray temperature as $M \propto T_x^{3/2}$. Virial theorem mass estimates based on cluster galaxy velocity dispersions seem to be accurately described by this scaling with a normalization consistent with that predicted by the simulations of Evrard, Metzler, & Navarro (1996). X-ray mass estimates which employ spatially resolved temperature profiles also follow a $T_x^{3/2}$ scaling although with a normalization about 40% lower than that of the fit to the virial masses. However, the isothermal $β$-model and x-ray surface brightness deprojection masses follow a steeper $\propto T_x^{1.8-2.0}$ scaling. The steepness of the isothermal estimates is due to their implicitly assumed dark matter density profile of $ρ(r) \propto r^{-2}$ at large radii while observations and simulations suggest that clusters follow steeper profiles (e.g., $ρ(r) \propto r^{-2.4}$).

description: We study the dissipative preparation of pure non-Gaussian states of a target mode which is coupled both linearly and quadratically to an auxiliary damped mode. We show that any pure state achieved independently of the initial condition is either (i) a cubic phase state, namely a state given by the action of a non-Gaussian (cubic) unitary on a squeezed vacuum or (ii) a (squeezed and displaced) finite superposition of Fock states. Which of the two states is realized depends on whether the transformation induced by the engineered reservoir on the target mode is canonical (i) or not (ii). We discuss how to prepare these states in an optomechanical cavity driven with multiple control lasers, by tuning the relative strengths and phases of the drives. Relevant examples in (ii) include the stabilization of mechanical Schrödinger cat-like states or Fock-like states of any order. Our analysis is entirely analytical, it extends reservoir engineering to the non-Gaussian regime and enables the preparation of novel mechanical states with negative Wigner function.

description:
Multiple pathways of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission have been examined, and the role of contaminated foods as a source of SARS-CoV-2 exposure has been suggested. As many cases of SARS-CoV-2 have been linked to meat processing plants, it may be that conditions in live animal markets and slaughterhouses or meat processing plant procedures transfer viral particles to meat, poultry, and seafood during animal slaughter, processing, storage, or transport. Because of the potential for contamination of foods such as beef, chicken, pork, or fish, the goal of this study was to evaluate the survival of a lipid enveloped RNA bacteriophage, phi 6, as well as two animal coronaviruses, murine hepatitis virus (MHV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), as SARS-CoV-2 surrogates for their survival under various meat and fish cold-storage conditions over 30 days. Viral surrogates differed in survival, depending on food product and temperature, but overall, viruses survived for extended periods of time at high concentrations at both refrigerated and frozen temperatures. The ability of SARS-CoV-2 viral surrogates like Phi 6 and animal coronaviruses to survive for varying extents on some meat and fish products when stored refrigerated or frozen is a significant and concerning finding. Continued efforts are needed to prevent contamination of foods and food processing surfaces, worker hands, and food processing utensils such as knives, and there is a need to better address the lack of or inadequate disinfection of these foods prior to meat packaging. IMPORTANCE The ability of SARS-CoV-2 viral surrogates like Phi 6 and animal coronaviruses to survive for long periods on meat and fish products at cold temperatures emphasizes the need for rigorous and sustained food sanitation and hygiene in the harvest, transport, processing, and distribution of these foods.

description:
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a high-speed imaging technique that provides optical sectioning with reduced photodamage. LSFM is routinely used in life sciences for live cell imaging and for capturing large volumes of cleared tissues. LSFM has a unique configuration, in which the illumination and detection paths are separated and perpendicular to each other. As such, the image quality, especially at high resolution, largely depends on the degree of overlap between the detection focal plane and the illuminating beam. However, spatial heterogeneity within the sample, curved specimen boundaries, and mismatch of refractive index between tissues and immersion media can refract the well-aligned illumination beam. This refraction can cause extensive blur and non-uniform image quality over the imaged field-of-view. To address these issues, we tested a deep learning-based approach to estimate the angular error of the illumination beam relative to the detection focal plane. The illumination beam was then corrected using a pair of galvo scanners, and the correction significantly improved the image quality across the entire field-of-view. The angular estimation was based on calculating the defocus level on a pixel level within the image using two defocused images. Overall, our study provides a framework that can correct the angle of the light-sheet and improve the overall image quality in high-resolution LSFM 3D image acquisition.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new two-parameter lifetime distribution, called the exponential-generalized truncated logarithmic (EGTL) distribution, by compounding the exponential and generalized truncated logarithmic distributions. Our procedure generalizes the exponential-logarithmic (EL) distribution modelling the reliability of systems by the use of first-order concepts, where the minimum lifetime is considered (Tahmasbi 2008). In our approach, we assume that a system fails if a given number k of the components fails and then, we consider the kth-smallest value of lifetime instead of the minimum lifetime. The reliability and failure rate functions as well as their properties are presented for some special cases. The estimation of the parameters is attained by the maximum likelihood, the expectation maximization algorithm, the method of moments and the Bayesian approach, with a simulation study performed to illustrate the different methods of estimation. The application study is illustrated based on two real data sets used in many applications of reliability.

description: A simple Ginzburg-Landau theory with a single, scalar order parameter is used to study the microscopic structure of microemulsions and sponge phases. The scattering intensity in both film and bulk contrast, as well as averages of the internal area $S$, the Euler characteristic $χ_E$, and the mean curvature squared $$, are calculated by Monte Carlo methods. The results are compared with results obtained from a variational approach in combination with the theory of Gaussian random fields and level surfaces. The results for the location of the transition from the microemulsion to oil/water coexistence, for the scattering intensity in bulk contrast, and for the dimensionless ratio $χ_E V^2/S^3$ (where $V$ is the volume) are found to be in good quantitative agreement. However, the variational approach fails to give a peak in the scattering intensity in film contrast at finite wavevector, a peak which is observed both in the Monte Carlo simulations and in experiment. Also, the variational approach fails to produce a transition from the microemulsion to the lamellar phase.

description: For my Honors Capstone, I have restructured the student org BLUElab to better live up to our mission and values. BLUElab is currently a collection of four design teams which apply sustainability to socially-engaged design principles to realize sustainable solutions alongside our community partners. The work consisted of forming a new level of uppermost leadership-BLUEboard-to uphold accountability throughout the organization and use their combined experience to make the important decisions and to guide the teams. This includes implementing transparency in internal procedures including funding, goal setting, documentation and knowledge retention; formalizing processes around team lifecycles and the design process; creating accountability/responsibility measures internally and with our partners; and cultivating a shared community ethos. To do this, I've enlisted the help of a restructuring committee with a diverse group of members, incorporated feedback from all levels of the org, and consulted with our advisors and closest university resources. These changes are planned to be finalized by the end of the school year, with the new leadership structure to help implement these changes over the summer and into the fall.

description:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), manifests as mild respiratory symptoms to severe respiratory failure and is associated with inflammation and other physiological changes. Of note, substantial increases in plasma concentrations of α1 -acid-glycoprotein and interleukin-6 have been observed among patients admitted to the hospital with advanced SARS-CoV-2 infection. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach is a useful tool to evaluate and predict disease-related changes on drug pharmacokinetics. A PBPK model of imatinib has previously been developed and verified in healthy people and patients with cancer. In this study, the PBPK model of imatinib was successfully extrapolated to patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection by accounting for disease-related changes in plasma α1 -acid-glycoprotein concentrations and the potential drug interaction between imatinib and dexamethasone. The model demonstrated a good predictive performance in describing total and unbound imatinib concentrations in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. PBPK simulations highlight that an equivalent dose of imatinib may lead to substantially higher total drug concentrations in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to that in patients with cancer, while the unbound concentrations remain comparable between the 2 patient populations. This supports the notion that unbound trough concentration is a better exposure metric for dose adjustment of imatinib in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, compared to the corresponding total drug concentration. Potential strategies for refinement and generalization of the PBPK modeling approach in the patient population with SARS-CoV-2 are also provided in this article, which could be used to guide study design and inform dose adjustment in the future.

description: Let $P(G, x)$ be the chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$. A graph $G$ is called \textit{chromatically unique} if for any graph $H,\, P(G, x) = P(H, x)$ implies that $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic. In this paper we show that full tripartite graph $K(n_1, n_2, n_3)$ is chromatically unique if $n_1 \geq n_2 \geq n_2 \geq n_3 \geq 2, n_1 - n_3 \leq 5$ and $n_1 + n_2 + n_3 \not \equiv 2 \mod{3}$.

description: Understanding the relationship between cognition and programming outcomes is important: it can inform interventions that help novices become experts faster. Neuroimaging techniques can measure brain activity, but prior studies of programming report only correlations. We present the first causal neurological investigation of the cognition of programming by using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS permits temporary and noninvasive disruption of specific brain regions. By disrupting brain regions and then measuring programming outcomes, we discover whether a true causal relationship exists. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first use of TMS to study software engineering. Where multiple previous studies reported correlations, we find no direct causal relationships between implicated brain regions and programming. Using a protocol that follows TMS best practices and mitigates for biases, we replicate psychology findings that TMS affects spatial tasks. We then find that neurostimulation can affect programming outcomes. Multi-level regression analysis shows that TMS stimulation of different regions significantly accounts for 2.2% of the variance in task completion time. Our results have implications for interventions in education and training as well as research into causal cognitive relationships.
Fermionic Chern-Simons theory for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in Bilayers

description: We generalize the fermion Chern-Simons theory for the Fractional Hall Effect (FQHE) which we developed before, to the case of bilayer systems. We study the complete dynamic response of these systems and predict the experimentally accessible optical properties. In general, for the so called $(m, m, n)$ states, we find that the spectrum of collective excitations has a gap, and the wave function has the Jastrow-Slater form, with the exponents determined by the coefficients $m$, and $n$. We also find that the $(m,m,m)$ states, {\it i.~e.~}, those states whose filling fraction is $1\over m$, have a gapless mode which may be related with the spontaneous appearance of the interlayer coherence. Our results also indicate that the gapless mode makes a contribution to the wave function of the $(m,m,m)$ states analogous to the phonon contribution to the wave function of superfluid $\rm{He}_4$. We calculate the Hall conductance, and the charge and statistics of the quasiparticles. We also present an $SU(2)$ generalization of this theory relevant to spin unpolarized or partially polarized single layers.

description: Identification of gravitationally lensed Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the BATSE 4B catalog can be used to constrain the average redshift $ < z >$ of the GRBs. In this paper we investigate the effect of evolving lenses on the $< z >$ of GRBs in different cosmological models of universe. The cosmological parameters $Ω$ and $Λ$ have an effect on the $< z >$ of GRBs. The other factor which can change the $< z >$ is the evolution of galaxies. We consider three evolutionary model of galaxies. In particular, we find that the upper limit on $< z >$ of GRBs is higher in evolving model of galaxies as compared to non-evolving models of galaxies.

description: A celebrated and deep result of Green and Tao states that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. In this note I provide a straightforward argument demonstrating that the primes get arbitrarily close to arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. The argument also applies to `large sets' in the sense of Erdős-Turán. The proof is short, completely self-contained, and aims to give a heuristic explanation of why the primes, and other large sets, possess arithmetic structure.

Building galaxy models with Schwarzschild method and spectral dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Tremendous progress has been made recently in modelling the morphology and kinematics of centers of galaxies. Increasingly realistic models are built for central bar, bulge, nucleus and black hole of galaxies, including our own. The newly revived Schwarzschild method has played a central role in these theoretical modellings. Here I will highlight some recent work at Leiden on extending the Schwarzschild method in a few directions. After a brief discussion of (i) an analytical approach to include stochastic orbits (Zhao 1996), and (ii) the ``pendulum effect'' of loop and boxlet orbits (Zhao, Carollo, de Zeeuw 1999), I will concentrate on the very promising (iii) spectral dynamics method, with which not only can one obtain semi-analytically the actions of individual orbits as previously known, but also many other physical quantities, such as the density in configuration space and the line-of-sight velocity distribution of a superposition of orbits (Copin, Zhao & de Zeeuw 1999). The latter method also represents a drastic reduction of storage space for the orbit library and an increase in accuracy over the grid-based Schwarzschild method.

Image compression

description: Photometric multi-view 3D geometry reconstruction and material capture are important techniques for cultural heritage digitalization. Capturing images of artifacts with high resolution and high dynamic range and the possibility to store them losslessly enables future proof application of this data. As the images tend to consume immense amounts of storage, compression is essential for long time archiving. In this paper, we present a lossless image compression approach for multi-view and material reconstruction datasets with a strong focus on data created from cultural heritage digitalization. Our approach achieves compression rates of 2:1 compared against an uncompressed representation and 1.24:1 when compared against Gzip.

Application of a constrained-transfer-matrix method to metastability in the $d$$=$$2$ Ising ferromagnet

description: Applying a numerical transfer-matrix formalism, we obtain complex-valued constrained free energies for the two-dimensional square-lattice nearest-neighbor Ising ferromagnet below its critical temperature and in an external magnetic field. In particular, we study the imaginary part of the constrained free-energy branch that corresponds to the metastable phase. Although droplets are not introduced explicitly, the metastable free energy is obtained in excellent agreement with field-theoretical droplet-model predictions. The finite-size scaling properties are different in the weak-field and intermediate-field regimes, and we identify the corresponding different critical-droplet shapes. For intermediate fields, we show that the surface free energy of the critical droplet is given by a Wulff construction with the equilibrium surface tension. We also find a prefactor exponent in complete agreement with the field-theoretical droplet model. Our results extend the region of validity for known results of this field-theoretical droplet model, and they indicate that this transfer-matrix approach provides a nonperturbative numerical continuation of the equilibrium free energy into the metastable phase.

description:
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is recommended as a promising way to increase HIV testing uptake among MSM. MSM sometimes used HIVST kits together with their sexual partners or friends. However, limited data was reported on MSM’s testing together behaviors with sexual partners and non-sexual contacts. Data were collected among MSM in China from June 2018 to June 2019. Eligible participants (referred to as “index participants”) finished a baseline survey and applied for HIVST kits. They were encouraged to distribute the kits to other people (referred to as “alters”). Index participants finished a 3-month follow-up survey on the distribution and usage of the kits. Alters finished an online survey on the usage of HIVST kits after they returned the photographed testing results. Results were reported based on index participants and alters, respectively. Based on follow-up data, 138 index participants successfully motivated others for HIVST, most of them (77.5%) tested together with at least one alter. Around half of alters (52.3%) reported testing together with index participants. Index participants distributed more HIVST kits to friends than sexual partners. MSM who had ever tested for HIV were more likely to test together. Our study demonstrated that the testing together behaviors during HIVST distribution among sexual partners and social network contacts were common. The social network-based approach is essential in promoting testing together and HIV status disclosure among MSM.
