description: Abstract: We consider dynamical percolation on the d-dimensional discrete torus Znd of side length n, where each edge refreshes its status at rate μ=μn≤1/2 to be open with probability p. We study random walk on the torus, where the walker moves at rate 1 / (2d) along each open edge. In earlier work of two of the authors with A. Stauffer, it was shown that in the subcritical case ppc(Zd), the mixing time is Θ(n2+1/μ); here the implied constants depend only on d and p. We prove a quenched (and hence annealed) version of this conjecture up to a poly-logarithmic factor under the assumption θ(p)>1/2. When θ(p)>0, we prove a version of this conjecture for an alternative notion of mixing time involving randomised stopping times. The latter implies sharp (up to poly-logarithmic factors) upper bounds on exit times of large balls throughout the supercritical regime. Our proofs are based on percolation results (e.g., the Grimmett–Marstrand Theorem) and an analysis of the volume-biased evolving set process; the key point is that typically, the evolving set has a substantial intersection with the giant percolation cluster at many times. This allows us to use precise isoperimetric properties of the cluster (due to G. Pete) to infer rapid growth of the evolving set, which in turn yields the upper bound on the mixing time.

description: We explore the phase diagram of the five-dimensional anisotropic Abelian Higgs model by Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we study the transition between the confining phase and the four dimensional layered Higgs phase. We find that, in a certain region of the lattice parameter space, this transition can be first order and that each layer moves into the Higgs phase independently of the others (decoupling of layers). As the Higgs couplings vary, we find, using mean field techniques, that this transition may probably become second order.

description: With current technologies, it seems to be very difficult to implement quantum computers with many qubits. It is therefore of importance to simulate quantum algorithms and circuits on the existing computers. However, for a large-size problem, the simulation often requires more computational power than is available from sequential processing. Therefore, the simulation methods using parallel processing are required. We have developed a general-purpose simulator for quantum computing on the parallel computer (Sun, Enterprise4500). It can deal with up-to 30 qubits. We have performed Shor's factorization and Grover's database search by using the simulator, and we analyzed robustness of the corresponding quantum circuits in the presence of decoherence and operational errors. The corresponding results, statistics and analyses are presented.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the measurement properties of activity monitoring for a rehabilitation (AMoR) platform for step counting, time spent in sedentary behavior, and postural changes during activities of daily living (ADLs) in a simulated home environment. Twenty-one individuals in the post-stroke chronic phase used the AMoR platform during an ADL protocol and were monitored by a video camera. Spearman’s correlation coefficient, mean absolute percent error (MAPE), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and Bland–Altman plot analyses were used to estimate the validity and reliability between the AMoR platform and the video for step counting, time spent sitting/lying, and postural changes from sit-to-stand (SI-ST) and sit-to-stand (ST-SI). Validity of the platform was observed with very high correlation values for step counting (rs = 0.998) and time spent sitting/lying (rs = 0.992) and high correlation for postural change of SI-ST (rs = 0.850) and ST-SI (rs = 0.851) when compared to the video. An error percentage above 5% was observed only for the SI-ST postural change (7.13%). The ICC values show excellent agreement for step counting (ICC3, k = 0.999) and time spent sitting/lying (ICC3, k = 0.992), and good agreement for SI-ST (ICC3, k = 0.859) and ST-SI (ICC3, k = 0.936) postural change. Values of the differences for step counting, sitting/lying time, and postural change were within the limits of agreement according to the analysis of the Bland–Altman graph. The AMoR platform presented validity and reliability for step counting, time spent sitting/lying, and identification of SI-ST and ST-SI postural changes during tests in a simulated environment in post-stroke individuals.

We apply such hyperasymptotic expansions to the $B/D$ meson masses, and $\bar Λ$ computed in the lattice. The issue of the uncertainty of the (top) pole mass is critically reexamined. The present theoretical uncertainty in the relation between ${\bar m}_t$, the $\bar{\rm MS}$ top mass, and $m_{t, \rm PV}$, the top pole mass regulated using the PV prescription, is numerically assessed to be $δm_{t,\rm PV}= 28\;{\rm MeV}$ for ${\bar m}_t =163$ GeV.

description: Abstract: Background: Studies suggest medical students experience high levels of mental distress during training but are less likely, than other students, to access care due to stigma and concerns regarding career progression. In response, The School of Clinical Medicine, University of Cambridge supported the development of the ‘Clinical Student Mental Health Service’ to provide specialist input for this vulnerable group. This study evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of this service. Methods: Using mixed-methods, cross-sectional analysis of validated psychiatric rating scales and qualitative feedback, 89 responses were analysed from 143 clinical students referred, between 2015 and 2019. The care pathway included initial review by a psychiatrist, who triaged students to psychologists delivering therapies including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy or Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Efficiency was assessed by waiting times for psychiatry and psychology interventions, and number of sessions. Academic outcomes included school intermission and graduation. Clinical effectiveness was analysed by measuring global distress, depression, anxiety, functioning and suicidal risk. Pre/post intervention changes were captured using t-test and McNemar test with thematic analysis of qualitative feedback. Results: Referral rates increased from 3.93% (22/560) in 2015 to 6.74% (45/668) in 2018. Median waiting times for initial psychiatric assessment and start of therapy was 26 and 33 days, respectively. All graduating students moved on to work as junior doctors. Levels of distress, (t = 7.73, p < 0.001, df = 31), depression (t = 7.26, p < 0.001, df = 34) anxiety (Z = − 4.63, p < 0.001) and suicide risk (Z = − 3.89, p < 0.001) were significantly reduced. Participant’s functioning was significantly improved (p < 0.001, 99.5% CI 4.55 to 14.62). Feedback indicated high satisfaction with the rapid access and flexibility of the service and the team clinicians. Conclusions: A significant proportion of medical students attending the service scored highly on validated rating scales measuring emotional distress, suicidality and mental illness. Reassuringly they benefitted from timely specialist mental health input, showing improvements in mental well-being and improved functioning. The development and design of this service might serve as an exemplar for medical schools developing similar support for their students.

description: Previous research argues that readers should prefer messages featuring their own ethnicity. However, in China, messages featuring white people are common. We investigate Chinese participants evaluation of ethnicity-(in)congruent messages to understand why communication practices diverge from theoretical expectations. Two normative health prevention messages, tested in a quasi-experimental design, were constructed to be ethnically (in)congruent. The results contradict the popular Chinese practice of ethnicity-incongruent messages; Chinese participants generally prefer ethnicity-congruent messages. However, participants reporting higher out-group favoritism, ethnicity-incongruent messages were evaluated more positively. We discuss in/out-group identification in evaluation of ethnicity-featuring messages and conclude with implications for communication practices in China.

description: This study aims to extend the existing academic accounts on Belarus and provides an in-depth cultural discourse analysis of Belarusian meta-cultural commentary on public creativity. I focus on the discursive hub of identity which is expressed and characterized by the informants through the discursive hubs of acting and relating. Additional cultural and historical background on Belarus is considered to capture the complexity of meanings behind the cultural codes and indigenous terms about identity. This approach allows the analyst to show the historical contingency of the oppositional codes underlying the modern-day ideas about identity in the Belarusian discourses about public creativity.

(Figs. 170f–o)
 Description. Forewings 2.0 times longer than wide, length in male about 3.2 mm. Colour light reddish-brown, but rostrum, subantennal processes and legs stramineous to faintly brown. Forewings uniformly infuscated, darker around the apical forks of R and M; veins orange to light orange-brown, Cu and claval veins light brown. Rostrum surpassing hind coxae; subantennal processes connected to margins of facial carinae. Forewing with Ms1 branched in its basal quarter and with a small triangle at its base. Male genital styles broad with proximal dorsal process short, distal dorsal process finger-like. Aedeagus with apical portion broad and flat, the right side extending into a broad flat dorsal process which is directed towards the left.
 Etymology. The species is named for N.L.H. Krauss who collected this species and ' kraussi ' is a latinized noun used in the genitive case.
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 3.2 mm), TONGA ISL.; labels: 1) TONGA: Eua I: Hills / above Pangai, 100-/ 300 m, I.1979 2) N.L.H. Krauss Coll. / BISHOP MUSEUM / Acc. #1979.76 (BPBM).
 Distribution. Tonga Islands.
 Diagnosis. Levu kraussi shows similarities to L. vitiensis Kirkaldy from Fiji and other more western Pacific islands in structure and forewing venation, but can be easily recognized by its dark coloration. The colour resembles that of L. rufulus Muir from Samoa and Guam, but differs in forewing venation (Ms1a straight and with a normal cross-vein to Ms1b), by its reddish-brown frons and facial carinae in front of the antennae, and by most forewing veins being tinted with orange.

description: In two-dimensional traps, since the theoretical study of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) will encounter the problem of divergence, the actual contribution of the divergent terms is often estimated in some indirect ways with the accuracy to the leading order. In this paper, by using an analytical continuation method to solve the divergence problem, we obtain the analytical expressions of critical temperature and condensate fraction for Bose gases in a two-dimensional anisotropic box and harmonic trap, respectively. They are consistent with or better than previous studies. Then, we further consider the nonvanishing chemical potential, and obtain the expressions of chemical potential and more precise condensate fraction. These results agree with the numerical calculation well, especially for the case of harmonic traps. The comparison between the grand canonical and canonical ensembles shows that our calculation in the grand canonical ensemble is reliable.

description: Inclusion of diverse patient populations in stroke rehabilitation clinical trials is key for generalizability and detecting differences in subgroups. The aim of this study was to assess the reporting and inclusion of race, ethnicity, and sex in publications in post-stroke motor recovery clinical trials over the past 5 years. We conducted a systematic review of stroke motor recovery trials conducted only within the United States with at least one control group and published between 2019 and 2023. The percent of racial minorities, ethnicities, and women enrolled in the trials was extracted and calculated for those trials using available data found in the manuscript or on clinicaltrials.gov. Sixty-eight trials (total of 2,801 participants) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. 100%, 35%, and 21% of the trials included reported enrollment by sex, race, and ethnicity in the manuscript. All publications reported sex and 38% of the subjects were female. Among the trials reporting race, 59% of the participants were White, followed by 34% Black, 0.4% Native American, 4% Asian, and 3% Other. Among the trials that reported ethnicity, Hispanic or Latino participants were represented as 13% of the total participants. In the past 5 years, while all stroke rehab trial publications reported data on sex, they underrepresented women. Most publications did not report race or ethnicity. Improvement in reporting of race/ethnicity in stroke motor recovery trials is needed for understanding of progress with inclusion, and improvement in inclusion of women is needed for better generalizability.

description: Ultracompact dark matter (DM) minihalos at masses at and below $10^{-12}$ $M_\odot$ arise in axion DM models where the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is broken after inflation. The minihalos arise from density perturbations that are generated from the non-trivial axion self interactions during and shortly after the collapse of the axion-string and domain-wall network. We perform high-resolution simulations of this scenario starting at the epoch before the PQ phase transition and ending at matter-radiation equality. We characterize the spectrum of primordial perturbations that are generated and comment on implications for efforts to detect axion DM. We also measure the DM density at different simulated masses and argue that the correct DM density is obtained for $m_a = 25.2 \pm 11.0$ $μ\mathrm{eV}$.

description: A Discrete Choice Travel Cost model, based on data collected from a survey of recreational anglers, was used to estimate changes in recreational fishing benefits in the Upper Oldman River region of Alberta resulting from the construction of a dam. The results show that this model is useful for measuring the impact of public works projects on non-market economic benefits. Predictions of the distribution of trips to each fishing site before and after placement of the dam are also identified by the model. The model is sensitive to the variables chosen and the measurement of quality attributes. The quality attributes which affect the choice of site include the potential to catch fish (catch rate and size of fish), access, and the size of the water body. Including the value of travel time in the travel costs causes an increase in the welfare estimates, but does not affect the variables used. Construction of the dam and creation of the reservoir reduces recreational fishing benefits of the area. The welfare impacts of the decline of recreational fishing quality range from an annual loss of $96,239.10 to a loss of $30,545.20 depending on the model specification, and whether the value of time is included. The government efforts at mitigating the dam's effect by 'construction of fish habitat in remaining reaches may improve the welfare of users to levels equal to or greater than the original benefits. The mitigation effort, assuming a success rate that is considered most probable, results in an annual gain in welfare of from $209,499.80 to $22,971.60 depending on the model specification, and whether the value of time is included.

Participants reported their PA levels twice, 2–3 days apart, using the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2,1) were calculated for test-retest reliability, Cronbach’s alpha (α) for internal consistency, and standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC95) for absolute reliability. Twenty-eight people (64.4 years, 50% female, 5.2 years post-stroke) participated. Internal consistency was acceptable for total scores on the IPAQ (α = 0.79) and GPAQ (α = 0.74), but only domain-level scores for the GPAQ (α = 0.71–0.88). In the full sample, test-retest reliability was good for the PASIPD (ICC2,1 = 0.83) but poor for the IPAQ and GPAQ (ICC2,1 <0.50). After excluding participants self-reporting true changes in PA, all questionnaires had good test-retest reliability (ICC2,1 = 0.77–0.88). SEM and MDC95 were lowest for the PASIPD (188.8 and 523.3 MET-minutes/week, respectively). In adults with stroke, the IPAQ and GPAQ had adequate total-questionnaire internal consistency, and the GPAQ had acceptable domain-level internal consistency. When true change in PA did not occur, test-retest reliability was good for all questionnaires. We suggest clinicians and rehabilitation scientists can use any of the three questionnaires, but may consider the GPAQ due to acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability.

description: CENDAK is an acronym for the Central South Dakota Water Supply System and is a multi purpose water delivery system which would use Missouri River water from Lake Oahe. The project would service 300,000 acres of farmland. Other potential uses of the project would be for a municipal and industrial water supply system. Economic activity generated from construction of CENDAK is estimated at $911.9 million, providing over 10,700 temporary, full- and part-time employment opportunities in the 10 year construction process and in industries which support construction of the project. Annual operation, maintenance, and repair costs of CENDAK would generate $20.9 million in economic activity while creating 224 full- and part-time jobs. Water delivered through CENDAK for irrigation purposes would annually generate between $121.1 million and $212.8 million in economic activity, providing employment of 1,352 to 2,362 full- and part-time jobs with total wages of $16.9 million to $28.7 million. With the establishment of CENDAK, other industries which utilize South Dakota produced commodities could expand or set up operations in the state, resulting in higher tax revenues for state and local governments. The construction, operation, and maintenance of the CENDAK project would have a major impact on the economy of South Dakota.

description: We have observed the G23 field of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) in its commissioning phase, to validate the performance of the telescope and to characterize the detected galaxy populations. This observation covers $\sim$48 deg$^2$ with synthesized beam of 32.7$^{\prime\prime}$ by 17.8$^{\prime\prime}$ at 936 MHz, and $\sim$39 deg$^2$ with synthesized beam of 15.8$^{\prime\prime}$ by 12.0$^{\prime\prime}$ at 1320 MHz. At both frequencies, the r.m.s. (root-mean-square) noise is $\sim$0.1 mJy/beam. We combine these radio observations with the GAMA galaxy data, which includes spectroscopy of galaxies that are i-band selected with a magnitude limit of 19.2. Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared (IR) photometry is used to determine which galaxies host an active galactic nucleus (AGN). In properties including source counts, mass distributions, and IR vs. radio luminosity relation, the ASKAP detected radio sources behave as expected. Radio galaxies have higher stellar mass and luminosity in IR, optical and UV than other galaxies. We apply optical and IR AGN diagnostics and find that they disagree for $\sim$30% of the galaxies in our sample. We suggest possible causes for the disagreement. Some cases can be explained by optical extinction of the AGN, but for more than half of the cases we do not find a clear explanation. Radio sources are more likely ($\sim$6%) to have an AGN than radio quiet galaxies ($\sim$1%), but the majority of AGN are not detected in radio at this sensitivity.

description: Smoothing splines have been used pervasively in nonparametric regressions. However, the computational burden of smoothing splines is significant when the sample size n is large. When the number of predictors d≥2, the computational cost for smoothing splines is at the order of O(n3) using the standard approach. Many methods have been developed to approximate smoothing spline estimators by using q basis functions instead of n ones, resulting in a computational cost of the order O(nq2). These methods are called the basis selection methods. Despite algorithmic benefits, most of the basis selection methods require the assumption that the sample is uniformly-distributed on a hyper-cube. These methods may have deteriorating performance when such an assumption is not met. To overcome the obstacle, we develop an efficient algorithm that is adaptive to the unknown probability density function of the predictors. Theoretically, we show the proposed estimator has the same convergence rate as the full-basis estimator when q is roughly at the order of O[n2d/{(pr+1)(d+2)}], where p∈[1,2] and r≈4 are some constants depend on the type of the spline. Numerical studies on various synthetic datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed estimator in comparison with mainstream competitors.

description: The prognosis of stroke patients is greatly threatened by malnutrition. However, there is no model to predict the risk of malnutrition in hospitalized stroke patients. This study developed a predictive model for identifying high-risk malnutrition in stroke patients. Stroke patients from two tertiary hospitals were selected as the objects. Binary logistic regression was used to build the model. The model’s performance was evaluated using various metrics including the receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, clinical decision curve, and risk stratification. A total of 319 stroke patients were included in the study. Among them, 27% experienced malnutrition while in the hospital. The prediction model included all independent variables, including dysphagia, pneumonia, enteral nutrition, Barthel Index, upper arm circumference, and calf circumference (all p < 0.05). The AUC area in the modeling group was 0.885, while in the verification group, it was 0.797. The prediction model produces greater net clinical benefit when the risk threshold probability is between 0% and 80%, as revealed by the clinical decision curve. All p values of the Hosmer test were > 0.05. The optimal cutoff value for the model was 0.269, with a sensitivity of 0.849 and a specificity of 0.804. After risk stratification, the MRS scores and malnutrition incidences increased significantly with escalating risk levels (p < 0.05) in both modeling and validation groups. This study developed a prediction model for malnutrition in stroke patients. It has been proven that the model has good differentiation and calibration.

description: We present a technically simple implementation of quantitative phase imaging in confocal microscopy based on synthetic optical holography with sinusoidal-phase reference waves. Using a Mirau interference objective and low-amplitude vertical sample vibration with a piezo-controlled stage, we record synthetic holograms on commercial confocal microscopes (Nikon, model: A1R; Zeiss: model: LSM-880), from which quantitative phase images are reconstructed. We demonstrate our technique by stain-free imaging of cervical (HeLa) and ovarian (ES-2) cancer cells and stem cell (mHAT9a) samples. Our technique has the potential to extend fluorescence imaging applications in confocal microscopy by providing label-free cell finding, monitoring cell morphology, as well as non-perturbing long-time observation of live cells based on quantitative phase contrast.

description: Abstract: Honeybees (Apis mellifera) and bumblebees (Bombus spp.) often undergo exploitative competition for shared floral resources, which can alter their foraging behaviour and flower choice, even causing competitive exclusion. This may be strongest in summer, when foraging conditions are most challenging for bees, compared to other times of the year. However, the seasonal dynamics of competition between these major pollinator groups are not well understood. Here, we investigate whether the strength of exploitative competition for nectar between honeybees and bumblebees varies seasonally, and whether competitive pressure is greatest in summer months. We carried out experimental bee exclusion trials from May to late September, using experimental patches of lavender, variety Grosso, in full bloom. In each trial, we compared the numbers of honeybees (HB) foraging on patches from which bumblebees had been manually excluded (bumblebee excluded, BBE) versus control (CON) patches, HB(BBE-CON). This measure of exploitative competition varied significantly with season. As expected, mean HB(BBE-CON) was significantly greater in summer trials than in spring or autumn trials. This was despite high nectar standing crop volumes in BBE patch flowers in spring and autumn trials. Mean HB(BBE-CON) was not different between spring and autumn trials. Our results show that nectar competition between honeybees and bumblebees varies seasonally and is stronger in summer than spring or autumn, adding to current understanding of the seasonality of resource demand and competition between bee species. This information may also help to inform conservation programs aiming to increase floral resources for bees by showing when these resources are most needed.
