FIGURE 11
Comments
Stomopneustes variolaris was found in a submarine cave with moderate tidal current at Steep Island in 7 m depth. It was observed feeding on dead fish, suggesting scavenging food habits. This species was observed in the littoral zone, exposed to heavy waves on rocky substrates. The individual in Fig. 11 was observed in an aquarium for observation since the environment in submarine cave was not suitable for photography.
This species is not common in Hong Kong waters. More broadly it is distributed across the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific, from East Africa to the Samoa Islands, and from Japan in the north to Australia and New Caledonia in the south (Schultz 2015). Although Liao & Clark (1995) reported this species in China, this is the first occurrence from Hong Kong.
Stomopneustes variolaris is heavily studied, especially in the Indian Ocean, on a wide range of topics including reproduction (Drummond 1991), symbioses with other invertebrates (Ayyagari & Kondamudi 2014 a, 2014b), and abundance/distribution (Khaleghi et al. 2012).

description: Metabolic syndrome is a clinical condition that is characterized by multiple metabolic and cardiovascular diseases risk factors including obesity, high blood pressure or hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Obesity and hypertension are two of the highly prevalent associated with metabolic syndrome among US population. The obesity prevalence among US adults increased gradually since the 1990s and is now at widespread magnitudes with over two-thirds of US adults either overweight or obese. Alongside the prevalence of hypertension has also amplified, resulting in significant increase of adults who likely meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome and are therefore at the increased risk for more serious chronic condition. Hospital readmission rates for metabolic syndrome did not see decline in the years of modern medicine era. This paper explores the factors associated with metabolic syndrome patients in terms of length of stay and in hospital cost. The data was obtained through the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample (NIS) dataset from 2012 to 2014. Study populations with primary diagnosis of metabolic syndrome using ICD-9-CM code were extracted and used for statistical analysis.Descriptive analysis results showed that compared to non-metabolic syndrome patients, metabolic syndrome patient’s length of stay was longer at mean 5.10 days versus mean 4.57 days for non-metabolic syndrome patients. Additionally, total in-hospital charges for metabolic syndrome patients was 30% higher than non-metabolic syndrome patients. Risk of developing metabolic syndrome in female was slightly elevated than in men. Having metabolic syndrome in White ethnic group was high and exhibited substantial differences among different ethnicity. Lower socioeconomic status patients were 37% more prevalent in having metabolic syndrome than the higher income patients. Logistic regression and General liner models were used to evaluate cost and length of stay. On average the length of stay was statistically significant longer for hypertension patients p

description: Acoustic levitation is frequently used for non-contact manipulation of objects and to study the impact of microgravity on physical and biological processes. While the force field produced by sound pressure lifts particles against gravity (primary acoustic force), multiple levitating objects in the same acoustic cavity interact via forces that arise from scattered sound (secondary acoustic forces). Current experimental techniques for obtaining these force fields are not well-suited for mapping the primary force field at high spatial resolution and cannot directly measure the secondary scattering force. Here we introduce a method that can measure both acoustic forces in situ, including secondary forces in the near-field limit between arbitrarily shaped, closely spaced objects. Operating similarly to an atomic force microscope, the method inserts into the acoustic cavity a suitably shaped probe tip at the end of a long, flexible cantilever and optically detects its deflection. This makes it possible to measure forces with a resolution better than 50 nN, and also to apply stress or strain in a controlled manner to manipulate levitated objects. We demonstrate this by extracting the acoustic potential present in a levitation cavity, directly measuring the acoustic scattering force between two objects, and applying tension to a levitated granular raft of acoustically-bound particles in order to obtain the force-displacement curve for its deformation.

FIGURE 12A
Comments
This species was identified by its distinctive red banded spines (Fig. 12A) which characterize this species (Liao & Clark 1995). There is individual variation in spine color, as described by Schultz (2015) for S. bicolor specimens that demonstrated spines banded in red, but with yellowish to violet and green.
Although widely recorded from throughout Asia, this is the first occurrence of Salmacis bicolor in Hong Kong. This individual was present on a rocky substrate bottom at Ninepin East Island in 17 m depth, a site displaying moderate current. It is otherwise widely distributed in the central Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Liao & Clark (1995) reported it was very common in southern China and ranged from Vietnam to southern Japan, living from the littoral zone to 120 m.
Numerous symbionts, including polychaetes, shrimps and ophiuroids were reported in association with Salamis bicolor from Vietnam (Britayev et al. 2013).

Comments
The species was identified by the densely banded spines in red, brown, purple, whitish, or greenish, generally with a green base (Fig. 12B). It is very common in coral habitat in Hong Kong.
Four individuals of this species were present on the surface of a dead fish, apparently scavenging (Fig. 12C). This is consistent with observations made by Tsuchiya et al. (2009) who reported that Salmacis sphaeroides in the Gulf of Thailand have a generalist diet, including various vascular plant species, notably water hyacinths from nearby rivers, as well as sea pens, jellyfish as well as active predation on two species of irregular urchins, Brissus latecarinatus and Lovenia eleongata, which were locally abundant. Both of these latter species are also present in Hong Kong waters suggesting possible prey.

description: The Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB), traced by the emission from dusty star-forming galaxies, provides a crucial window into the phases of star formation throughout cosmic history. These galaxies, although challenging to detect individually at high redshifts due to their faintness, cumulatively contribute to the CIB which then becomes a powerful probe of galaxy formation, evolution and clustering. Here, we introduce a physically-motivated model for the CIB emission spanning a wide range of frequency and angular resolution, employing a halo model approach and distinguishing, within dark matter halos, between two main populations of star forming galaxies, i.e. normal late-type spiral and irregular galaxies and the progenitors of early-type galaxies. The emission from two galaxy populations maps into different regimes in frequency/resolution space, allowing us to constrain the clustering parameters of the model - $M_{\text{min}}$, the mass of a halo with 50% probability of having a central galaxy and $α$, the power law index regulating the number of satellite galaxies - through a fit to Planck and Herschel-SPIRE CIB anisotropy measurements. We find that, while being able to place constraints on some of the clustering parameters, the Planck frequency and multipole coverage cannot effectively disentangle the contributions from the two galaxy populations. On the other side, the Herschel-SPIRE measurements separate out and constrain the clustering of both populations. Our work, though, highlights an inconsistency of the results between the two datasets, partially already reported in other literature and still not understood.

Electronic phenotyping via the anchor and learn framework with physical therapy emphasis
Creators: name: Volansky, Matthew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Background: When delivering evidence-based care at the bedside, learning with anchors is a proven method of efficiently learning statistically driven patient phenotypes. Such libraries currently learn with anchor terms that are universally suspect in their ability to support evidence-based practice for physical therapists (PT) within electronic medical records (EMRs).Methods: A definition of anchor terms for venous thromboembolism (VTE) was developed using structured and unstructured retrospective data from PT documentation within two separate EMRs. The learned PT specific VTE phenotype anchor terms were compared against the published PT clinical practice guideline and clinician documentation for consistency. The learned PT specific VTE phenotype anchor terms were then evaluated against the published learned anchors derived from physician-based documentation.Results: Two of the top 25 anchors showed a statistically significant correlation with the presence of VTE: ‘vessel’ (P <0.001) and ‘pe’ (P < 0.05). The top 20% most frequently appearing learned anchor terms in descending order of total observed frequency was ‘boot’ (12.2%), ‘movement’ (10.4%), ‘develop’ (10.1%), ‘cad’ (9.5%) and ‘pulmonary’ (9.2%).Discussion: This research provides new insight into the relationship between anchor terms and the documentation of PT. The data indicate that the top 20% of discovered physical therapy derived phenotype terms for VTE anchors did not match the existing physician derived phenotype definition for VTE. Based on the existing physician derived anchor terms, clinical decision support tools for VTE would not have been triggered if used by the PT.Conclusion: The delivery of patient-centered care requires an interdisciplinary team of clinicians to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Evidenced-based practice is enhanced through the presence of clinical decision support tools in the clinical workflow of the modern healthcare system. Before this research, there did not exist an established set of anchor terms with a likelihood of detecting the presence of VTE within the profession of physical therapy. An initial listing of such anchor variables has now been discovered. Further research is needed to expand the ability of machine learning classifiers to identify patients both at risk and with active disease.

Comments
This species was identified based on their low hemispherical test shape, elongate, pointed spine shape and deep sutural pits. Ambulacral regions showed the distinct horizontal sutures and light interambulacral color, as well as the greenish-brown spines, lacking banding as outlined in Liao & Clark (1995) were consistent with specimens of this species,
Ecological Observations
In situ observations (Fig. 13A) of this species showed it present in high abundance forming large aggregations on the seafloor. Spatial arrangement on the benthic surface at 10 m showed them closely but evenly spaced with each individual at spine’s length apart from one another on a heterogeneous, sandy, cobble-covered sediment. Individual tests were ~ 3 to 4 cm in diameter suggesting a total diameter of ~ 6 to 8 cm, spine tip to spine tip. Approximately 42 urchins were counted in a 0.4 m x 0.3 m region. Liao & Clark (1995) have described this species as one of the most common, shallow-water sea urchins along the southern coast of China, and has been collected from many stations with one haul off western Guangdong in 24 m including over 3000 specimens.
Figure 13C shows this species attacking the sea cucumber Holothuria lecuospilota as well as the sea urchin Salamis sphaeroides (Fig. 13D) as well as feeding on a dead fish (Fig. 13B). Further discussion of these feeding observations are summarized in the Discussion.

Black educatorhood possibilities: its precarity, the nation's collective stagnation
Creators: name: Aryee-Price, Awo Okaikor Melvinia

Year: 2020

description: With the historical decline in the presence of Black teachers in the United States’ public schools and the recent calls for the increase in Black educators in the nation, this dissertation will explore the precarious state of six New Jersey K-12 public school Black educators as they attempt to advocate for their profession and organize for racial and social justice within their schools/district communities. Using an African-diasporic onto-axiological centered de/colonial --constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 1995), while drawing on Black Feminisms (Hills-Collins, 1986; 1990/2000) and Critical Race Theory (Bell, 1980; 1987; Crenshaw, 2011; Delgado & Stefancic, 2006) as lenses to explore, I conduct one on one interviews, focus groups, and document analyses to research the study's six participants. The questions foregrounding the research are: 1)What collective/individual narrative emerge as six Black educators advocate and attempt to organizer for racial and social justice with their organizing school/district communities; 2) What are their individual/collective experiences in schools; and 3) What are the individual, group, and systemic barriers/principles that hinder/elevate progress?The study reveals the precarity (Sharpe, 2016) of Black Educatorhood as experienced by these six Black educators working within a system of anti-blackness and white supremacy. Also illuminated on is Black Educatorhood’s shared linkage to a genealogy of Black educators who preceded them. Most significant are several other common themes examined across participants. These findings were narrowed down to their collective experiences with 1) integration, as experienced through Black Studenthood and Black Educatorhood, 2) their barriers to organizing, as manifested through the internalization of patriarchalism and racism, and 3) their desires to rehumanize for the future of Black Educatorhood possibilities. The study closes with a brief autoethnographic account to help wed together the themes within my narrative--situating it in the spirit of Black womxn educators who preceded us such as Septima P. Clark, and Anna Julia Cooper. Consequently, I draw on the imagery of the Akan “dilemma bird,” Santrofi Anoma, to help wrap up the framing of our collective stories as what I posit as “dilemma” and precarious, while also providing recommendations, and implications for future policy, practice, and further research.

Umoja: a brotherhood to empower young men of color
Creators: name: Melgar, Kimberly Y.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: One of the prominent questions educational research has focused on has been, and continues to be, inequities in education as it pertains to the disparities in academic performance among different groups of students. Specific attention has been paid to male students of color and addressing the disparity in high school graduation rates because it can have long term economic and personal consequences that range from joblessness to incarceration. This paper explores the experiences of young men of color in the Bronx, NY, and the academic outcomes of participation in the Umoja leadership program. The Umoja program is an all-male Brotherhood that focuses on leadership development and communication throughout the summer and during the school year for 22 students in grades nine through twelve. Findings from this mixed methods case study document the many tensions and conflicting expectations students face as members of their community such as being targeted members within their community who are expected to “fail” while also being expected to carry the torch and meet high expectations. Other findings suggest that the program’s focus on leadership helps refine the leadership and communication skills many young Brothers already possessed. Additional quantitative findings show that Brothers in the program saw an average increase in grade point average (GPA) and credit accumulation (CA) every year that they were involved in the program, and highlights that the program has a 98% graduation rate. Through these findings the researcher makes recommendations for program revisions and further study.

description: In this study, a novel material from the rare-earth based breathing pyrochlore family, Ba3Tm2Zn5O11, was successfully synthesized. Powder x-ray diffraction and high-resolution powder neutron diffraction confirmed phase purity and the F-43m breathing pyrochlore crystal structure, while thermogravimetric analysis revealed incongruent melting behavior compared to its counterpart, Ba3Yb2Zn5O11. High-quality single crystals of Ba3Tm2Zn5O11 were grown using the traveling solvent floating zone technique and assessed using Laue x-ray diffraction and single crystal x-ray diffraction. Thermodynamic characterization indicated paramagnetic behavior down to 0.05 K, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements identified distinct dispersionless crystal electric field energy bands, with the fitted crystal electric field model predicting a single-ion singlet ground state and an energy gap of ~9 meV separating it from the first excited (singlet) state. Additional low-energy excitation studies on single crystals revealed dispersionless bands at 0.8 and 1 meV. Computed phonon dispersions from first-principles calculations ruled out phonons as the origin of these modes, further illustrating the puzzling and unique properties of Ba3Tm2Zn5O11.

Minimizing the tensor-to-scalar ratio in single-field inflation models

description: We revisit a class of simple single-field inflation models and demonstrate that they can readily produce a negligible tensor/scalar ratio $r$. Motivated by recent work suggesting the need to introduce higher order operators to stabilise unregulated potentials, as well as by work indicating that such terms can have significant effects on observable predictions, we explicitly construct corrected versions of the quadratic hilltop potential that are motivated by an effective field theory expansion. We employ Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and optimization techniques to sample viable models and minimize $r$. We find that such potentials can readily lower $r$ values below projected CMB-S4 sensitivity, while still remaining within observable constraints on $n_s$. Furthermore, we find that the minimum $r$ reached for each order of the expansion considered is well-described by a power law $r_{min}(q) \propto q^{-B}$ before asymptoting to a value of $r_{min} \sim 10^{-11}$, where $q$ is the order to which the expansion of $V(ϕ)$ is carried out.

FIGURE 15A–D
Comments
This species was distinguished by its relatively short spines and white body color with black patchy markings (Fig. 15A–B). Our account follows Liao & Clark (1995) which shows Pseudoboletia maculata synonymized with Pseudoboletia indiana. Although recorded from the Southern China area, this represents the first occurrence of this species in Hong Kong. Specimens were found at Trio Island in a rocky habitat of 7m depth. This was among several urchins from southern and middle Japan reviewed by Saitoh et al. (2019).
Many of the individuals observed displayed “covering behavior”, carrying coarse pebbles and shells (Fig. 15A, B), which is consistent with data that this species prefers calcareous rubble as protective “coverage” against UV radiation (Barrett et al. 2019).

description: The classic Johnson Kendall Roberts (JKR) theory describes the short-ranged adhesive contact of elastic bodies, but is only valid for axisymmetric contact. A theory for non-axisymmetric contact, which relies on approximating the contact region as an ellipse, was proposed by Johnson and Greenwood (JG). The theory includes the effects of adhesion via Griffith's criterion applied only at the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the contact ellipse. Although JG's work is in good agreement with numerical and experimental results for quasi-circular contacts, the agreement worsens as the eccentricity of the contact region increases. In this paper, we show that including the effects of adhesion by instead minimizing the sum of elastic and surface energy yields results that are in excellent agreement with previous numerical simulations over the full range of contact eccentricities.

Evaluation of a hybrid PD on technology enhanced inquiry based science teaching
Creators: name: Kennedy, Krystyne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were designed to revolutionize science teaching and learning. Because of the dramatic shift from learning through memorization to engaging in science as a practice, with the adoption of NGSS teachers will have to change approaches (NRC, 2012). At the same time that NGSS curricula are implemented in classrooms, the use of technology is more prevalent in schools (Dawson et al., 2015; Pringle et al., 2015). However, there is a discrepancy between the NGSS inquiry-based approach to technology and the way technology is being used in classrooms. Very little has changed toward technology and inquiry-based science teaching (Duschl, 2014; McLaughlin et al., 2014). PD has been shown to be an effective component of adopting new standards, and using technology (Campbell et al., 2012).This study was a six-week hybrid PD on technology-enhanced inquiry-based science teaching with five 5th and 6th grade teachers. Using mixed methods, the study evaluated impact on teachers’ beliefs and practices. Data was gathered using teacher surveys, student surveys, video recorded lessons, weekly learning journals, lesson plans, and a focus group. After data analysis, teachers were grouped into orientation profiles based upon incurred changes. The PD was effective at changing two first-year teachers’ beliefs, but not practice. Two more experienced teachers had changes in beliefs and practice. One advanced teacher did not experience much change. Effective elements of the PD included convenient access and positive group dynamics. Implications from the study reveal that first year teachers need more support, elementary curriculum needs to be reevaluated, and advanced teachers need more rigor.
