description: Background: Persistent breast pain (PBP) is prevalent among breast cancer survivors and has powerful negative psychological consequences. The present study provided a first test of the hypothesis that: (a) pain catastrophizing, (b) heightened perceived risk of cancer, and (c) worry that pain indicates cancer may be independent mediating links between breast cancer survivors’ experiences of PBP and heightened emotional distress. Methodology: We assessed levels of PBP and psychological factors in breast cancer survivors (Survivor Group: n = 417; Stages I-IIIA; White = 88.7%; Age M = 59.4 years) at their first surveillance mammogram post-surgery (6–15 months). A comparison group of women without histories of breast surgery or cancer (Non-cancer Group: n = 587; White = 78.7%; Age M = 57.4 years) was similarly assessed at the time of a routine screening mammogram. All women completed measures of breast pain, pain catastrophizing, perceived breast cancer risk, and worry that breast pain indicates cancer, as well as measures of emotional distress (symptoms of anxiety, symptoms of depression, and mammography-specific distress). Analyses included race, age, BMI, education, and menopausal status as covariates, with significance set at 0.05. Results: As expected, PBP prevalence was significantly higher in the Survivor Group than in the Non-cancer Group (50.6% vs. 17.5%). PBP+ survivors also had significantly higher levels of emotional distress, pain catastrophizing, mammography-specific distress, and worry that breast pain indicates cancer, compared to PBP− survivors. Structural equation modeling results were significant for all hypothesized mediational pathways. Interestingly, comparisons of PBP+ to PBP− women in the Non-cancer Group showed similar results. Conclusion: These findings suggest the importance of (a) pain catastrophizing, (b) perceived breast cancer risk and, (c) worry that breast pain may indicate cancer, as potential targets for interventions aimed at reducing the negative psychological impact of PBP in post-surgery breast cancer survivors, as well as in unaffected women with PBP due to unknown reasons.

description: Key to species of Gyraulus in South Africa
 One of the two indigenous species of Gyraulus in South Africa, G. connollyi is endemic to the central and southern parts of the country while the other, G. costulatus , is widespread across Africa (Brown 1994). Gyraulus chinensis may be separated from these two indigenous species by means of the following key:
 1 Shell distinctly ribbed, shoulder with an angular carina............ costulatus (Krauss)
– Shell not distinctly ribbed, shoulder rounded.........................................................2
 2 Pigmentation of head, tentacles and mantle roof of pale spots and blotches, flatness index of whorl consistently below 3.0, prostate gland with 12 or more lobes of uniform length and arrangement, preputium usually longer than penis sheath......................................................................................... connollyi Brown & Van Eeden
 – Pigmentation of head, tentacles and mantle roof of conspicuous dark spots and blotches, flatness index of whorl between 1.9 and 4.0, prostate gland with fewer than 12 lobes, lobes of variable length and arrangement, preputium usually shorter than penis sheath....................................................................... chinensis (Dunker)

description: The temperature dependence of peak widths in high resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy from quantum well states in ultra thin Ag films on V(100) has been used to determine the electron-phonon coupling constant, lambda, for films of thickness 1-8 layers. A strong oscillatory variation in coupling strength is observed as a function of film thickness, peaking at a 2 layer film for which lambda~1. A simple theory incorporating interaction of the photo-hole with the thermal vibrations of the potential step at the adlayer-vacuum interface is shown to reproduce the main features of these results.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove existence and boundedness of classical solutions for a family of viscous conservation laws in one space dimension for arbitrarily large time. The result relies on H. Amann's criterion for global existence of solutions and on suitable uniform-in-time estimates for the solution. We also apply Jüngel's boundedness-by-entropy principle in order to obtain global existence for systems with possibly degenerate diffusion terms. This work is motivated by the study of a physical model for the space-time evolution of the strain and velocity of an anharmonic spring of finite length.

description: The article focuses on energy carriers previously performing a marginal role in the structure of obtaining energy from renewable sources, i.e. heat pumps. These energy carriers may, in the future, play an important role, because their importance in national states of affairs is increasing. The aim of the article is to assess the amount of energy obtained and consumed by heat pumps in 2010-2017, in Poland. The literature study method was used to implement the above-mentioned objective. The article uses secondary data from the Central Statistical Office. In the analyzed period, there was a systematic increase in the acquisition and consumption of energy obtained by heat pumps in Poland. The heat obtained using heat pumps in 2017 amounted to 2,688 TJ and was more than twice as high as in 2010. Heat pumps are a widely available technology and their use by households in Poland influences the implementation of energy policies of the country and the European Union, aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy sources. The case study method was used, where the heating costs of a single-family house, depending on the fuel used, were compared with constant assumptions.

description: The difficulty to simulate the dynamics of open quantum systems resides in their coupling to many-body reservoirs with exponentially large Hilbert space. Applying a tensor network approach in the time domain, we demonstrate that effective small reservoirs can be defined and used for modeling open quantum dynamics. The key element of our technique is the timeline reservoir network (TRN), which contains all the information on the reservoir's characteristics, in particular, the memory effects timescale. The TRN has a one-dimensional tensor network structure, which can be effectively approximated in full analogy with the matrix product approximation of spin-chain states. We derive the sufficient bond dimension in the approximated TRN with a reduced set of physical parameters: coupling strength, reservoir correlation time, minimal timescale, and the system's number of degrees of freedom interacting with the environment. The bond dimension can be viewed as a measure of the open dynamics complexity. Simulation is based on the semigroup dynamics of the system and effective reservoir of finite dimension. We provide an illustrative example showing scope for new numerical and machine learning-based methods for open quantum systems.

description: Commercially motivated junk news -- i.e. money-driven, highly shareable clickbait with low journalistic production standards -- constitutes a vast and largely unexplored news media ecosystem. Using publicly available Facebook data, we compared the reach of junk news on Facebook pages in the Netherlands to the reach of Dutch mainstream news on Facebook. During the period 2013-2017 the total number of user interactions with junk news significantly exceeded that with mainstream news. Over 5 Million of the 10 Million Dutch Facebook users have interacted with a junk news post at least once. Junk news Facebook pages also had a significantly stronger increase in the number of user interactions over time than mainstream news. Since the beginning of 2016 the average number of user interactions per junk news post has consistently exceeded the average number of user interactions per mainstream news post.

description: Vortex structures in dilute quantum fluids are studied using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The velocity and momentum of multiply quantized vortex rings are determined and their core structures analysed. For flow past a spherical object, we study the encircling and pinned ring solutions, and determine their excitation energies as a function of the flow velocity for both penetrable and impenetrable objects. The ring and laminar flow solutions converge at a critical velocity, which decreases with increasing object size. We also study the vortex solutions associated with flow past a surface bump which indicate that surface roughness also reduces the critical velocity. This effect may have important implications for the threshold of dissipation in superfluids and superconductors.

Gyraulus chinensis

description: Gyraulus chinensis (Dunker, 1848)   (Basommatophora: Planorbidae)
Figs 4, 5
 Identification
 Gyraulus chinensis is readily distinguished from the two indigenous species of Gyraulus in South Africa, G. connollyi Brown & Van Eeden, 1969 and G. costulatus (Krauss, 1848), by means of the characteristic dark pigmentation on its mid-dorsal mantle, head and tentacles, and its flatter and smoother shell (Brown et al. 1998; Brown 2001). In addition the shell of G. chinensis grows larger, to 6.5 mm (Brown et al. 1998), than either of the indigenous species, which rarely reach 5.0 mm (Brown & Van Eeden 1969). It is typically pale coloured with weak or no spiral sculpture and a rounded shoulder (Figs 4 and 5).
 The pigmentation is seen on the head, anterior mantle and tentacles in both live and preserved specimens (Fig. 4). The ‘flatness index’ of a discoid shell was defined by Brown and Van Eeden (1969) and Brown et al. (1998) as the product of the whorl diameter from shoulder to the inside of the aperture and whorl height. The index increases with increasing whorl diameter. For G. chinensis from Amatikulu it ranged from 1.9 in juveniles of 1 mm diameter to 4.0 in adults of 4.5 mm diameter (Fig. 6) whereas in G. connollyi, the closest indigenous species (see key below), the whorls were higher relative to width so that the index was consistently below 3.0 (Brown & Van Eeden 1969). The two largest specimens of G. chinensis measured 5.65×1.4 and 5.75× 1.35 mm
(Fig. 7). This figure shows that the number of whorls also increases with shell diameter from approximately 2.75 for shells less than 2 mm diameter to a maximum of 4.75 whorls for shells over 5.6 mm diameter.
 The reproductive anatomy of the Amatikulu material conformed well to the descriptions of G. chinensis given by Brown et al. (1998) and Pointier (2008). Important here are the number and arrangement of the lobes of the prostate gland (12–17 lobes of uniform length) and the relative lengths of the preputium and penis sheath (preputium slightly shorter than penis sheath but similar in width). This differs from the two indigenous Gyraulus species, G. connollyi (Brown & Van Eeden 1969) and G. costulatus (Brown et al. 1998). These indigenous species are closely related and have a similar reproductive anatomy. They have fewer than 12 prostatic lobes, which are irregular in shape and arrangement. The preputium is usually longer than the penis sheath in both species though the widest part of the preputium is slightly broader than the penis sheath.

description: Several dynamical aspects of the SU(2) Seiberg-Witten models with N_f quark hypermultiplets are explored. We first clarify the meaning of the number of the singularities of the space of vacua. CP invariance of the theories are then studied and periodicities of theories in θwith and without bare quark masses are obtained ((4-N_f)πand π, respectively). CP noninvariance at a generic point of QMS manifests itself as the electric and quark-number charge fractionalizations for the dyons; we show that the exact Seiberg-Witten solution contains such effects correctly, in agreement with the semiclassical analysis recently made by F.Ferrari. Upon N=1 perturbation the low energy effective theories at the singularities display confinement, and in most cases chiral symmetry breaking as a consequence. In one of the vacua for N_f=3 confinement is not accompanied by chiral symmetry breaking: we interpret it as an example of oblique confinement of 't Hooft. We discuss further the consistency of the physical picture found here by studying the effects of soft supersymmetry breaking as well as the behavior of the theory in the N=1 limit.

description: Large-scale quantum computers will require quantum gate operations between widely separated qubits. A method for implementing such operations, known as quantum gate teleportation (QGT), requires only local operations, classical communication, and shared entanglement. We demonstrate QGT in a scalable architecture by deterministically teleporting a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate between two qubits in spatially separated locations in an ion trap. The entanglement fidelity of our teleported CNOT is in the interval [0.845, 0.872] at the 95% confidence level. The implementation combines ion shuttling with individually-addressed single-qubit rotations and detections, same- and mixedspecies two-qubit gates, and real-time conditional operations, thereby demonstrating essential tools for scaling trapped-ion quantum computers combined in a single device.

description: The discovery of scintillation in the blue regime from polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), a commonly used high-performance industrial polyester plastic, has sparked considerable interest from the physics community as a new type of plastic scintillator material. This observation in addition to its good mechanical and radiopurity properties makes PEN an attractive candidate as an active structure scintillator for low-background physics experiments. This paper reports on investigations of its potential in terms of production tests of custom made tiles and various scintillation light output measurements. These investigations substantiate the high potential of usage of PEN in low-background experiments.

description:
Methodologies for the improved recovery of selected pathogenic bacteria from estuarine sediments were investigated. Laboratory and field studies were conducted to document the sensitivity of the techniques for isolating Salmonella species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Vibrio parahaemolyticus-like organisms were enriched in a seawater yeast extract broth and isolated from Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose plated media. Enrichment procedures with and without elevated temperatures and subsequent transfers to selective and differential plated media have been examined for the isolation of Salmonella species and P. aeruginosa. These pathogens were initially assayed for utilizing primary enrichments of asparagine broth and dulcitol selenite enrichment broth (DSE). Because of repeated failures to isolate Salmonella species with these latter techniques, additional laboratory studies involving tetrathionate broth, dulcitol phenol red broth, and DSE broth with reduced concentrations of sodium selenite were investigated. Although these modified techniques appeared to be adequate, the DSE selective enrichment procedure proved to be superior for the isolation and enumeration of P. aeruginosa and Salmonella species. Increased sediment inocula in DSE enrichments demonstrated an increased recovery and permitted quantitative enumeration of Salmonella species in these estuarine sediments.

description: Motivation: Abdominal imaging of orally-administered deuterium-labelled tracers can be hindered by artifacts arising from excessive stomach signal. Goal(s): To establish and optimize methods for acquisition of abdominal deuterium metabolic imaging in conjunction with orally-administered tracers. Approach: A flexible transmit-receive surface coil was used to image naturally abundant deuterium in healthy volunteers and orally-administered D2O in a patient with renal cancer. Results: Water and lipid peaks were repeatably fit with high confidence both in unlocalised spectra and voxels extracted from MRSI in the liver, kidney, and spleen. Artifacts were minimal even 12 minutes after tracer ingestion. Impact: Feasibility of abdominal deuterium imaging at 3T was demonstrated using a flexible surface coil. We obtained consistent water measurements in healthy volunteers and good images in a patient with a left-sided renal tumour even just 12 min after drinking D2O.

On the technical level, our analysis relies on the fact that the lightlike $κ$-deformation of Poincaré algebra is given by a twist and the lightlike deformation of any algebra containing Poincaré as a subalgebra can be done with the help of the same twisting element. We briefly comment on the physical relevance of the obtained $κ$-BMS Hopf algebra as a possible asymptotic symmetry of quantum gravity.

description: We report herein a new convergent one pot method for the synthesis of amino benzyl ethers containing a bicyclic amine, derived from different substituted benzyl alcohols and bicyclic amino alcohols such as tropine, pseudotropine, and 3-quinuclidinol, using chlorotrimethylsilane and sodium iodide. In order to avoid the competitive reaction with the nitrogen atom, a solution of the separately prepared alkoxide of tropine, pseudotropine, and 3-quinuclidinol was added to the preformed substituted benzyl iodides and allowed to reflux at 90 °C for 15 h under nitrogen atmosphere. This method provides an efficient alternative of the preparation of amino benzyl ethers in organic synthesis with good yields in comparison with existed methods.

Classifying all extrema by their potential energy u and number of unstable directions k, a well defined relation k(u) is revealed. The degree of instability of typical stationary points vanishes at a threshold potential energy, which lies above the energy of the lowest glassy minima of the system. The energies of the inherent states, as obtained by the Stillinger-Weber method, approach the threshold energy at a temperature close to the mode-coupling transition temperature Tc.

description: It is commonly believed that galaxies use, throughout the Hubble time, a very small fraction of the baryons associated to their dark matter halos to form stars. This so-called low "star formation efficiency" $f_\star\equiv M_\star/f_{\rm b} M_{\rm halo}$, where $f_{\rm b}\equivΩ_{\rm b}/Ω_{\rm c}$ is the cosmological baryon fraction, is expected to reach its peak at nearly $L^\ast$ (at efficiency $\approx 20\%$) and decline steeply at lower and higher masses. We have tested this using a sample of nearby star-forming galaxies, from dwarfs ($M_\star\simeq 10^7 M_\odot$) to high-mass spirals ($M_\star\simeq 10^{11} M_\odot$) with HI rotation curves and 3.6$μ$m photometry. We fit the observed rotation curves with a Bayesian approach by varying three parameters, stellar mass-to-light ratio, halo concentration and mass. We found two surprising results: 1) the star formation efficiency is a monotonically increasing function of $M_\star$ with no sign of a decline at high masses, and 2) the most massive spirals ($M_\star\simeq 1-3 \times 10^{11} M_\odot$) have $f_\star\approx 0.3-1$, i.e. they have turned nearly all the baryons associated to their haloes into stars. These results imply that the most efficient galaxies at forming stars are massive spirals (not $L^\ast$ galaxies), they reach nearly 100% efficiency and thus, once both their cold and hot gas is considered into the baryon budget, they have virtually no missing baryons. Moreover, there is no evidence of mass quenching of the star formation occurring in galaxies up to halo masses of $M_{\rm halo}\approx {\rm a\, few}\times 10^{12} M_\odot$.

description: I review some of the mechanisms through which primordial magnetic fields may be created in the electroweak phase transition. I show that no magnetic fields are produced initially from two-bubble collisions in a first-order transition. The initial field produced in a three-bubble collision is computed. The evolution of fields at later times is discussed.

description: National research assessment exercises are conducted in different nations over varying periods. The choice of the publication period to be observed has to address often contrasting needs: it has to ensure the reliability of the results issuing from the evaluation, but also reach the achievement of frequent assessments. In this work we attempt to identify which is the most appropriate or optimal publication period to be observed. For this, we analyze the variation of individual researchers' productivity rankings with the length of the publication period within the period 2003-2008, by the over 30,000 Italian university scientists in the hard sciences. First we analyze the variation in rankings referring to pairs of contiguous and overlapping publication periods, and show that the variations reduce markedly with periods above three years. Then we will show the strong randomness of performance rankings over publication periods under three years. We conclude that the choice of a three year publication period would seem reliable, particularly for physics, chemistry, biology and medicine.

description: We analyze the vacuum structure of N=2, SU(2) QCD with massive quark hypermultiplets, once supersymmetry is softly broken down to N=0 with dilaton and mass spurions. We give general expressions for the low energy couplings of the effective potential in terms of elliptic functions to have a complete numerical control of the model. We study in detail the possible phases of the theories with Nf = 1, 2 flavors for different values of the bare quark masses and the supersymmetry breaking parameters and we find a rich structure of first order phase transitions. The chiral symmetry breaking pattern of the Nf = 2 theory is considered, and we obtain the pion Lagrangian for this model up to two derivatives. Exact expressions are given for the pion masses and the pion decay constant in terms of the magnetic monopole description of chiral symmetry breaking.

description: Data available across the web is largely unstructured. Offers published by multiple sources like banks, digital wallets, merchants, etc., are one of the most accessed advertising data in today's world. This data gets accessed by millions of people on a daily basis and is easily interpreted by humans, but since it is largely unstructured and diverse, using an algorithmic way to extract meaningful information out of these offers is hard. Identifying the essential offer entities (for instance, its amount, the product on which the offer is applicable, the merchant providing the offer, etc.) from these offers plays a vital role in targeting the right customers to improve sales. This work presents and evaluates various existing Named Entity Recognizer (NER) models which can identify the required entities from offer feeds. We also propose a novel Hybrid NER model constructed by two-level stacking of Conditional Random Field, Bidirectional LSTM and Spacy models at the first level and an SVM classifier at the second. The proposed hybrid model has been tested on offer feeds collected from multiple sources and has shown better performance in the offer domain when compared to the existing models.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Department of Agriculture has published reports about frozen food handling methods and warehouse layouts in wholesale warehouses. Some effective operating practices of frozen food wholesalers were analyzed in the reports. However, the reports pointed out that methods of receiving food stocks, assembling orders, and loading delivery trucks in many of the plants studied appeared to be inadequate for the efficient handling of frozen food. To correct these inadequacies, this study developed recommendations for improved methods, equipment, and layout to make frozen food distribution operations more efficient. The data presented here summarize studies of materials-handling operations and warehouse layout both in wholesale establishments that normally supply their customers with frozen foods in addition to groceries, fruits and vegetables, meats, and dairy products, and in wholesale establishments that supply their customers with frozen food and ice cream only. Sizes of the cooperating firms' frozen food warehouses ranged from 2,000 to 55,000 square feet.

description: Following Bogomolnyi's classical treatment of vortices, we develop a method for finding rigorous lower bounds to the Landau-Ginzburg free energy describing unconventional superconductors in the absence of external magnetic fields. This allows a more precise description of the magnetic instabilities previously considered in these systems. In particular, we derive new sufficient conditions for the stability of both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous equilibrium states.

Iteratively Composing Statically Verified Traits

description: Static verification relying on an automated theorem prover can be very slow and brittle: since static verification is undecidable, correct code may not pass a particular static verifier. In this work we use metaprogramming to generate code that is correct by construction. A theorem prover is used only to verify initial "traits": units of code that can be used to compose bigger programs. In our work, meta-programming is done by trait composition, which starting from correct code, is guaranteed to produce correct code. We do this by extending conventional traits with pre- and post-conditions for the methods; we also extend the traditional trait composition (+) operator to check the compatibility of contracts. In this way, there is no need to re-verify the produced code. We show how our approach can be applied to the standard "power" function example, where metaprogramming generates optimised, and correct, versions when the exponent is known in advance.

title: Electrostatic Effects on Airborne Asbestos Monitoring

description: The affects of electrostatic forces on the Membrane Filter Method (MFM) used for air-borne asbestos monitoring have been investigated for many years. Several studies have indicated that these forces interfere with the collection of asbestos fibers on the membrane filter, which results in an underestimated analysis of the airborne concentration. By varying the electroconductivity of the extension cowls on the filter cassettes, it was speculated that the significance of the electrostatic forces could be statistically analyzed. Four sets of filter cassettes with grounded conductive (GC) extension cowls, ungrounded conductive (UC) extension cowls, grounded nonconductive (GN) extension cowls, and ungrounded nonconductive (UN) extension cowls were used to collect airborne asbestos samples at rates of 1.4 liters per minute and 9 liters per minute. The membrane filter from each cassette was analyzed to determine the fibers per cubic centimeter (fibers/cc) of air sampled. The cowls from each sample were then washed onto clean filters and analyzed to determine the fibers/cc collected on the cowls. The proportion of the fibers on the cowl per fibers on the original filter was calculated for each sample and the results statistically evaluated. The findings of this study indicated that a significant number of asbestos fibers were collected on the sides of all extension cowls regardless of their electroconductivity. This reduces the total number of fibers collected on the membrane filter and produces an inaccurate evaluation of the ambient airborne asbestos concentration.
