description: One critical element of thermal processes is uniform steam delivery to the bitumen­bearing oil sands formation of the reservoir: non-uniform steam injection means poor well utilization which can lead to lower heavy oil and bitumen production rates and recovery factor and higher steam-oil-ratios. Given that steam conformance (i.e. the ability to control the distribution of steam within the oil column) is critical to performance of steam-based recovery processes and it is affected by several factors, such as geology heterogeneity, fluid heterogeneity, well completion and design, and wellbore dynamics. In addition, accurate prediction of steam and water two phase flow in steam injection wells is required to understand and design well systems to obtain uniform steam injection into the reservoir. 1n this research, the relationship between geology and wellbore flow conditions has been explored. The focus of the study is ConocoPhillips Surmont SAGO pilot. Also, the steam-water flow model has been used to understand flow conditions in the injection well. The results show that both geology and wellbore flow contribute to full wellpair utilization and heterogeneities of the steam chamber. Also, the flow conditions in the injection well at the start of the process are critical for establishing the initial steam chamber which impacts its future growth along the wellpair.

description: Person re-identification has become a very popular research topic in the computer vision community owing to its numerous applications and growing importance in visual surveillance. Person re-identification remains challenging due to occlusion, illumination and significant intra-class variations across different cameras. In this paper, we propose a multi-task network base on an improved Res2Net model that simultaneously computes the identification loss and verification loss of two pedestrian images. Given a pair of pedestrian images, the system predicts the identities of the two input images and whether they belong to the same identity. In order to obtain deeper feature information of pedestrians, we propose to use the latest Res2Net model for feature extraction of each input image. Experiments on several large-scale person re-identification benchmark datasets demonstrate the accuracy of our approach. For example, rank-1 accuracies are 83.18% (+1.38) and 93.14% (+0.84) for the DukeMTMC and Market-1501 datasets, respectively. The proposed method shows encouraging improvements compared with state-of-the-art methods.

description: The competence of individuals who have a developmental disability has been historically shaped by perceptions of incompetence and ineptitude. As a result, deficit-based terminology has been adopted into both the professional and everyday language used to describe individuals with a developmental disability. The objective of this study was to generate personal definitions and shared understandings of 'ability' and 'disability' from individuals who have a developmental disability. Nine adults collaboratively explored their definitions in four focus group discussions. Group discussions were audio-taped, transcribed and "main ideas" were synthesized and reviewed. Participants described that using personally relevant definitions of disability, exploring non-assumptive language preferences, and incorporating opportunities to stand up and speak up are ways researchers and helping professionals can support individuals with developmental disabilities. This study urges those that work alongside individuals who have a developmental disability to consider collaborative, flexible and creative approaches into their practices.

description: We investigate traces of powers of random matrices whose distributions are invariant under rotations (with respect to the Hilbert--Schmidt inner product) within a real-linear subspace of the space of $n\times n$ matrices. The matrices we consider may be real or complex, and Hermitian, antihermitian, or general. We use Stein's method to prove multivariate central limit theorems, with convergence rates, for these traces of powers, which imply central limit theorems for polynomial linear eigenvalue statistics. In contrast to the usual situation in random matrix theory, in our approach general, nonnormal matrices turn out to be easier to study than Hermitian matrices.

description: Seven Generations Energy Ltd. (7GEN) holds extensive land rights in the Karr area of central/western Alberta. It is critical to the success of the company that a thorough understanding of stress orientation in its tight gas reservoirs is gained in order to drill horizontal wells in optimal direction, avoid wellbore stability issues and subsequently max1m1ze drainage through orthogonal fracture placement (i.e. - optimal wellbore direction). A vertical stress profile must be developed prior to designing an optimized hydraulic fracture treatment. The stress profile is subsequently used to determine upper and lower "boundary" conditions under which the hydraulic fracture will be theoretically constrained in height. Maximum horizontal stress orientation was determined from borehole breakouts and drilling-induced tensile fractures interpreted from image logs and four arm dipmeter logs. Minimum horizontal stress was determined based on analysis of fracture treatments in analogous offsets. The target formation also showed the presence of coal layers interspersed within the main sand member. Drilling operations frequently experienced tight hole conditions which led to rig down-time and moreover, risked the loss of the entire wellbore. A relationship between wellbore collapse, horizontal stress, apparent rock strength log (ARSL) and rock mechanical properties was developed. To the author's knowledge, this technology has not been used in industry.

description: Implantation of an embryo induces rapid proliferation and differentiation of uterine stromal cells, forming a new structure, the decidua. One salient feature of decidua formation is a marked increase in maternal angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-dependent pathways are active in the ovary, uterus, and embryo, and inactivation of VEGF function in any of these structures might prevent normal pregnancy development. We hypothesized that decidual angiogenesis is regulated by VEGF acting through specific VEGF receptors (VEGFRs). To test this hypothesis, we developed a murine pregnancy model in which systemic administration of a receptor-blocking antibody would act specifically on uterine angiogenesis and not on ovarian or embryonic angiogenesis. In our model, ovarian function was replaced with exogenous progesterone, and blocking antibodies were administered prior to embryonic expression of VEGFRs. After administration of a single dose of the anti-VEGFR-2 antibody during the peri-implantation period, no embryos were detected on embryonic d 10.5. The pregnancy was disrupted because of a significant reduction in decidual angiogenesis, which under physiological conditions peaks on embryonic d 5.5 and 6.5. Inactivation of VEGFR-3 reduced angiogenesis in the primary decidual zone, whereas administration of VEGFR-1 blocking antibodies had no effect. Pregnancy was not disrupted after administration of anti-VEGFR-3 or anti-VEGFR-1 antibodies. Thus, the VEGF/VEGFR-2 pathway plays a key role in the maintenance of early pregnancy through its regulation of peri-implantation angiogenesis in the uterine decidua. This newly formed decidual vasculature serves as the first exchange apparatus for the developing embryo until the placenta becomes functionally active.

description: We present an experimental opportunity for the future to measure possible violations to Newton's 1/r^2 law in the 0.1-10 meter range using Dynamic gravity Field Generators (DFG) and taking advantage of the exceptional sensitivity of modern interferometric techniques. The placement of a DFG in proximity to one of the interferometer's suspended test masses generates a change in the local gravitational field that can be measured at a high signal to noise ratio. The use of multiple DFGs in a null experiment configuration allows to test composition independent non-Newtonian gravity significantly beyond the present limits. Advanced and third-generation gravitational-wave detectors are representing the state-of-the-art in interferometric distance measurement today, therefore we illustrate the method through their sensitivity to emphasize the possible scientific reach. Nevertheless, it is expected that due to the technical details of gravitational-wave detectors, DFGs shall likely require dedicated custom configured interferometry. However, the sensitivity measure we derive is a solid baseline indicating that it is feasible to consider probing orders of magnitude into the pristine parameter well beyond the present experimental limits significantly cutting into the theoretical parameter space.

description: Since the movement of the M&T/Llano Seco Pump Station and Fish Screening Facility from its previous location to a position downstream on the Sacramento River, changes in channel morphology have been studied by TetraTech, Inc., and their research showed lateral migration of the west bank and formation of a large gravel bar that is migrating downstream and impairing pump function. Colorado State University Hydraulics Laboratory was contracted to construct a 1:100 Froude-scale physical model to evaluate hydraulic conditions and long-term sedimentation patterns near the current pump intake location and two alternative relocation sites across a variety of discharges and river configurations. Mobile-bed sediment in the model was scaled based on an analysis of Shields parameter ratios, Rouse number ratios, and critical velocity ratios. Three channel configurations were modeled: existing channel conditions, current conditions with the inclusion of a gravel dredge material stockpile on the west bank, and realignment of a section of the east bank. Model results showed continued aggradation near the current M&T Pump intake if current conditions were not changed. Testing of the modeled gravel stockpile yielded negligible changes in hydraulic and sedimentation patterns. Straightening of the east bank of the river resulted in minor degradation near the current intake and aggradation in the vicinity of the upstream proposed pump alternative and the City of Chico Wastewater Outfall. Across all tests and discharges, the downstream proposed pump alternative remained the most stable, with negligible sedimentation and change in hydraulic conditions.

description: It is becoming a public health imperative to understand decision needs, decision support, and decision outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as explore the factors influencing initial insulin decision-making participation and the decision-making processes that affect these patients and to improve patient decision-making participation from the perspectives and experiences of all those involved. To date, there are limited reviews of recent evidence on the factors influencing initial insulin decision involvement and the behavioral processes involved in decision-making in patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, these reviews do not explore patients' decision-making behaviors and decision-making processes and are less likely to incorporate the experiences of all those involved. Therefore, we will conduct a scoping review to explore the factors influencing initial insulin decision-making participation behavior and decision-making process in patients with type 2 diabetes from the perspective and experience of all those involved.
Unfinished History and Paradoxes of Quantum Potential. II. Relativistic Point of View

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: This is the second of the two related papers analysing origins and possible explanations of a paradoxical phenomenon of the quantum potential (QP). It arises in quantum mechanics'(QM) of a particle in the Riemannian $n$-dimensional configurational space obtained by various procedures of quantization of the non-relativistic natural Hamilton systems. Now, the two questions are investigated: 1)Does QP appear in the non-relativistic QM generated by the quantum theory of scalar field (QFT) non-minimally coupled to the space-time metric? 2)To which extent is it in accord with quantization of the natural systems? To this end, the asymptotic non-relativistic equation for the particle-interpretable wave functions and operators of canonical observables are obtained from the primary QFT objects. It is shown that, in the globally-static space-time, the Hamilton operators coincide at the origin of the quasi-Euclidean space coordinates in the both altenative approaches for any constant of non-minimality $\tildeξ$, but a certain requirement of the Principle of Equivalence to the quantum field propagator distinguishes the unique value $\tildeξ= 1/6$. Just the same value had the constant $ξ$ in the quantum Hamiltonians arising from the traditional quantizations of the natural systems: the DeWitt canonical, Pauli-DeWitt quasiclassical, geometrical and Feynman ones, as well as in the revised Schrödinger variational quantization. Thus, QP generated by mechanics is tightly related to non-minimality of the quantum scalar field. Meanwhile, an essential discrepancy exists between the non-relativistic QMs derived from the two altenative approaches: QFT generate a scalar QP, whereas various quantizations of natural mechanics, lead to PQs depending on choice of space coordinates as physical observables and non-vanishing even in the flat space if the coordinates are curvilinear.

description: In a promising candidate of topological superconductors, CuxBi2Se3, we propose a way to exclusively determine the pairing symmetry. The proposal suggests that the angle dependence of the thermal conductivity in the basal ab-plane shows a distinct strong anisotropy only when the pairing symmetry is an odd-parity spin-polarized triplet below the superconducting transition temperature (Tc). Such striking isotropy breaking below Tc is explicitly involved in Dirac formalism for superconductors, in which the spin-orbit coupling is essential. We classify possible gap functions based on the Dirac formalism and clarify an origin of the isotropy breaking.

Race as a Legal Concept

description: Race is a legal concept, and like all legal concepts, it is a matrix of rules. Although the legal conception of race has shifted over time, up from slavery and to the present, one element in the matrix has remained the same: the background rules of race have always taken a view of racial identity as a natural aspect of human biology. To be sure, characterizations of the rule have oftentimes kept pace with developments in race science, and the original invention of race as a rationale for the subordination of certain human populations is now a rationale with little currency. The departure from this "classic liberal" conception of race, and its attendant and disturbing view of the function of race, did not, however, depart from the idea that race is a natural and organic part of being a human being. As this Article argues, this seminal background rule—that race is natural, neutral, and necessary—is deeply problematic and a substantial obstacle in the fight against the Supreme Court's ascending anticlassification jurisprudence. Not to mention, it is also false. In an effort to make some headway against the idea that race is a natural idea, as opposed to a legal concept, the Article attacks the background rules of race via the unlikely field of Conflict of Laws. Taking the Supreme Court's decision in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 as a benchmark, the discussion first suggests an early functionalist view of voluntary school integration by way of an analogy to the early twentieth-century transformations occurring in Conflicts of Laws. Second, and in the alternative, the discussion then situates the facts of Parents Involved as literally a problem of Conflict of Laws. In both instances, the hope is to focus legal discourse on the background rules of race so as to empower a new and emancipatory anti-subordination jurisprudence.
Swelling cholesteric liquid crystal shells to direct colloids at the interface

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Cholesteric liquid crystals can exhibit spatial patterns in molecular alignment at interfaces that can be exploited for particle assembly. These patterns emerge from the competition between bulk and surface energies, tunable with the system geometry. In this work, we use the osmotic swelling of cholesteric double emulsions to assemble colloidal particles through a pathway-dependent process. Particles can be repositioned from a surface-mediated to an elasticity-mediated state through dynamically thinning the cholesteric shell at a rate comparable to that of colloidal adsorption. By tuning the balance between surface and bulk energies with the system geometry, colloidal assemblies on the cholesteric interface can be molded by the underlying elastic field to form linear aggregates. The transition of adsorbed particles from surface regions with homeotropic anchoring to defect regions is accompanied by a reduction in particle mobility. The arrested assemblies subsequently map out and stabilize topological defects. These results demonstrate the kinetic arrest of interfacial particles within definable patterns by regulating the energetic frustration within cholesterics. This work highlights the importance of kinetic pathways for particle assembly in liquid crystals, of relevance to optical and energy applications.

description: We report the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Andromeda XXVIII, using data from the recently-released SDSS DR8. The galaxy is a likely satellite of Andromeda, and, at a separation of $365^{+17}_{-1}$ kpc, would be one of the most distant of Andromeda's satellites. Its heliocentric distance is $650^{+150}_{-80}$ kpc, and analysis of its structure and luminosity show that it has an absolute magnitude of $M_V = -8.5^{+0.4}_{-1.0}$ and half-light radius of $r_h = 210^{+60}_{-50}$ pc, similar to many other faint Local Group dwarfs. With presently-available imaging we are unable to determine if there is ongoing or recent star formation, which prevents us from classifying it as a dwarf spheroidal or dwarf irregular.

description: We propose a Condorcet consistent voting method that we call Split Cycle. Split Cycle belongs to the small family of known voting methods satisfying the anti-vote-splitting criterion of independence of clones. In this family, only Split Cycle satisfies a new criterion we call immunity to spoilers, which concerns adding candidates to elections, as well as the known criteria of positive involvement and negative involvement, which concern adding voters to elections. Thus, in contrast to other clone-independent methods, Split Cycle mitigates both "spoiler effects" and "strong no show paradoxes."

description: A protocol utilizing both leuprolide acetate (LA) and norethindrone acetate (NETA) in subjects undergoing ovarian suppression prior to follicle aspiration proved more effective than LA alone in reducing the incidence of ovarian cyst formation without affecting clinical outcome. Patients (n = 105) undergoing ovarian stimulation followed by follicle aspiration and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) were prospectively randomized and studied. Study measures included ovarian suppression days, days of human meno-pausal gonadotrophin (HMG) stimulation, serum oestradiol concentrations, number of cycles developing de novo cysts (> 15 mm), number of induced flare responses (day 8 oestradiol 5=50 pg/ml), number of office visits, total dose exogenous gonadotrophins, number oocytes retrieved, and clinical pregnancy and delivery rates per retrieval. Patients undergoing FVF received either LA alone (n = 58; controls) or LA and NETA (n = 47; study group) for the first 8 days of their cycle. Results comparing NETA/LA versus LA demonstrated: serum oestradiol 20.7 ± 3.9 versus 573 ± 9.4 pg/ml respectively on day 8 of ovarian suppression (P < 0.01); 8.6 ± 2.74 days required for ovarian suppression versus 123 ± 6.09 days (P < 0.01); and only three individuals (6.4%) using NETA/LA developed ovarian cysts > 15 mm compared to 15 (25.9%) controls (P < 0.01). No differences were observed for days of stimulation, peak oestradiol attained, total dosage of exogenous gonadotrophins, or number of aspirated oocytes. Neither were there differences in the clinical pregnancy (26.8 versus 22.6%) nor in delivery rates (19.5 versus 20.8%). We conclude that the addition of NETA to LA enhances ovarian suppression and lessens ovarian cyst formation, thereby significantly decreasing the overall cost per cycle.

description: In this paper we study the large scale structures and their galaxy content around the most X-ray luminous cluster known, RX J1347.5-1145 at z=0.45. We make use of ugriz CFHT MEGACAM photometry and VIMOS VLT spectroscopy to identify structures around the RXJ1347 on a scale of 20x20 Mpc2. We construct maps of the galaxy distribution and the fraction of blue galaxies. We study the photometric galaxy properties as a function of environment, traced by the galaxy density. We identify group candidates based on galaxy overdensities and study their galaxy content. We also use available GALEX NUV imaging to identify strong unobscured star forming galaxies. We find that the large scale structure around RXJ1347 extends in the NE-SW direction for at least 20 Mpc, in which most of the group candidates are located. As other studies, we find that the fraction of blue galaxies (Fblue) is a function of galaxy number density, but the bulk of the trend is due to galaxies belonging to massive systems. The fraction of the UV-bright galaxies is also function of environment, but their relative numbers compared to the blue population seems to be constant regardless of the environment. These UV emitters also have similar properties at all galaxy densities, indicating that the transition between galaxy types occurs in short time-scales. Candidate galaxy groups show a large variation in their galaxy content and Fblue in those groups display little dependence with galaxy density. This may indicate possible differences in their evolutionary status or the processes that are acting in groups are different than in clusters. The large scale structure around rich clusters are dynamic places for galaxy evolution. In the case of RXJ1347 the transformation may start within infalling groups to finish with the removal of the cold gas once galaxies are accreted in massive systems. (ABRIDGED)

Comparative Phylogeography in Fijian Coral Reef Fishes:

description: Delineating barriers to connectivity is important in marine reserve design as they describe the strength and number of connections among a reserve’s constituent parts, and ultimately help characterize the resilience of the system to perturbations at each node. Here we demonstrate the utility of multi-taxa phylogeography in the design of a system of marine protected areas within Fiji. Gathering mtDNA control region data from five species of coral reef fish in five genera and two families, we find a range of population structure patterns, from those experiencing little (Chrysiptera talboti, Halichoeres hortulanus, and Pomacentrus maafu), to moderate (Amphiprion barberi, Wst = 0.14 and Amblyglyphidodon orbicularis Wst = 0.05) barriers to dispersal. Furthermore estimates of gene flow over ecological time scales suggest speciesspecific, asymmetric migration among the regions within Fiji. The diversity among species-specific results underscores the limitations of generalizing from single-taxon studies, including the inability to differentiate between a species-specific result and a replication of concordant phylogeographic patterns, and suggests that greater taxonomic coverage results in greater resolution of community dynamics within Fiji. Our results indicate that the Fijian reefs should not be managed as a single unit, and that closely related species can express dramatically different levels of population connectivity.

Middle Ear Myoclonus: Two Informative Cases and a Systematic Discussion of Myogenic Tinnitus

description: Background: The term middle ear myoclonus (MEM) has been invoked to explain symptoms of tinnitus presumably caused by the dysfunctional movement of either of the two muscles that insert in the middle ear: tensor tympani and stapedius. MEM has been characterized through heterogeneous case reports in the otolaryngology literature, where clinical presentation is variable, phenomenology is scarcely described, the pathogenic muscle is usually not specified, natural history is unknown, and the presumptive definitive treatment, tensor tympani or stapedius tendon lysis, is inconsistently effective. It is not surprising that no unique acoustogenic mechanism or pathophysiologic process has been identified to explain MEM, one of several descriptive diagnoses associated with the complicated disorders of myogenic tinnitus.
Methods: Here, we explore MEM from the neurologist’s perspective. Following the detailed descriptions of two informative cases from our clinic, we systematically evaluate the different mechanisms and movement disorder phenomena that could lead to a diagnosis of MEM.
Results: From a functional neuroanatomic perspective, we explain how tensor tympani MEM is best explained as a form of peritubal myogenic tinnitus, similar to the related disorder of essential palatal tremor. From a pathogenic perspective, we discuss how MEM symptomatology may reflect different mechanical and neurologic processes. We emphasize the diagnostic imperative to recognize when myogenic tinnitus is consistent with a psychogenic origin.
Discussion: Both individual patient care and further elucidation of MEM will rely on more detailed clinical characterization as well as multidisciplinary input from neurology, otolaryngology, and dentistry.

Racial Profiling Legalized in Arizona

description: In 2010, Arizona enacted S.B. 1070, which, by its very terms, necessitates racial profiling. The definition of racial profiling is "the reliance on race, skin color and/or ethnicity as an indication of criminality, reasonable suspicion, or probable cause, except when part of a description of a suspect, and said description is timely, reliable, and geographically relevant." Although the new statute says that law enforcement officers "may not consider race, color or national origin in the enforcement of this section," that language is followed by the words, "except to the extent permitted by the United States or Arizona Constitution." Indeed, S.B. 1070 effectively requires the consideration of race, color and national origin because it is unfathomable how a law enforcement official could avoid considering those factors in deciding whom to investigate under the new law. Even the most well-meaning officer cannot possibly determine whether an individual may be undocumented without making judgments based on apparent race, color and national origin.

description: We equip the type $A$ diagrammatic Hecke category with a special derivation, so that after specialization to characteristic $p$ it becomes a $p$-dg category. We prove that the defining relations of the Hecke algebra are satisfied in the $p$-dg Grothendieck group. We conjecture that the $p$-dg Grothendieck group is isomorphic to the Iwahori-Hecke algebra, equipping it with a basis which may differ from both the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis and the $p$-canonical basis. More precise conjectures will be found in the sequel. Here are some other results contained in this paper. We provide an incomplete proof of the classification of all degree $+2$ derivations on the diagrammatic Hecke category, and a complete proof of the classification of those derivations for which the defining relations of the Hecke algebra are satisfied in the $p$-dg Grothendieck group. In particular, our special derivation is unique up to duality and equivalence. We prove that no such derivation exists in simply-laced types outside of finite and affine type $A$. We also examine a particular Bott-Samelson bimodule in type $A_7$, which is indecomposable in characteristic $2$ but decomposable in all other characteristics. We prove that this Bott-Samelson bimodule admits no nontrivial fantastic filtrations in any characteristic, which is the analogue in the $p$-dg setting of being indecomposable.

description: We develop a method for computing form factors of local operators in the framework of Sklyanin's separation of variables (SOV) approach to quantum integrable systems. For that purpose, we consider the sine-Gordon model on a finite lattice and in finite dimensional cyclic representations as our main example. We first build our two central tools for computing matrix elements of local operators, namely, a generic determinant formula for the scalar products of states in the SOV framework and the reconstruction of local fields in terms of the separate variables. The general form factors are then obtained as sums of determinants of finite dimensional matrices, their matrix elements being given as weighted sums running over the separate variables and involving the Baxter Q-operator eigenvalues.
