description: Margarine is the major table spread consumed in the United States and use is still expanding. Technological breakthroughs have improved its quality. This, coupled with prices lower than butter, primarily explains its expanding use. Vegetable oils are major margarine ingredients, with soybean oil the largest. Abundant supplies and favorable prices account for the increasing use of soybean oil in margarine production. To analyze variability in margarine prices, we tested the hypothesis that retail margarine prices are affected by ingredient costs and retail butter prices. A statistical analysis was conducted regressing retail margarine prices against weighted wholesale fat and oil prices and retail butter prices. The equation explained 84 percent of the annual variation in margarine prices.

description: COVID-19 has caused a lot of misinformation with regards to the value & importance of science in dealing with the pandemic. In order to address this, connecting scientists, policymakers and lay audiences on science-related issues is essential. In order to bridge the gap between researchers and policymakers, the Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) in collaboration with the Graduate Professional Success in STEM (GPS-STEM) Public Policy Prep Program at UC Irvine and other partners, offered the new virtual Science Policy & Advocacy for STEM Scientists Certificate Program. The program equips early career researchers (ECRs) with fundamental skills in science policy and advocacy, including effective communication for engaging policymakers on a multitude of issues. Certificate Program learning sessions described effective communication mechanisms and methods for ECRs to engage policymakers. The program also provided ECRs with opportunities for networking, as well as peer-to-peer review and feedback from policy professionals.

description: A semiconductor nanowire brought in proximity to a superconductor can form discrete, particle-hole symmetric states, known as Andreev bound states (ABSs). An ABS can be found in its ground or excited states of different spin and parity, such as a spin-zero singlet state with an even number of electrons or a spin-1/2 doublet state with an odd number of electrons. Considering the difference between spin of the even and odd states, spin-filtered measurements have the potential to reveal the underlying ground state. To directly measure the spin of single-electron excitations, we probe an ABS using a spin-polarized quantum dot that acts as a bipolar spin filter, in combination with a non-polarized tunnel junction in a three-terminal circuit. We observe a spin-polarized excitation spectrum of the ABS, which in some cases is fully spin-polarized, despite the presence of strong spin-orbit interaction in the InSb nanowires. In addition, decoupling the hybrid from the normal lead blocks the ABS relaxation resulting in a current blockade where the ABS is trapped in an excited state. Spin-polarized spectroscopy of hybrid nanowire devices, as demonstrated here, is proposed as an experimental tool to support the observation of topological superconductivity.

Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

description: SLHA files of signal benchmark points
description: CERN-LHC. A search for strongly produced supersymmetric particles is conducted using signatures involving multiple energetic jets and either two isolated leptons ($e$ or $\mu$) with the same electric charge or at least three isolated leptons. The search also utilises $b$-tagged jets, missing transverse momentum and other observables to extend its sensitivity. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb$^{-1}$. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed. The results are interpreted in several simplified supersymmetric models and extend the exclusion limits from previous searches. In the context of exclusive production and simplified decay modes, gluino masses are excluded at 95% confidence level up to 1.1-1.3 TeV for light neutralinos (depending on the decay channel), and bottom squark masses are also excluded up to 540 GeV. In the former scenarios, neutralino masses are also excluded up to 550-850 GeV for gluino masses around 1 TeV.

description: In this study, I leverage the sociological research on cultural health capital (Shim 2010) and social networks (Small 2006) to elucidate the mechanisms impacting how individuals with diabetes deal with their illness and navigate access to additional diabetes care resources. Drawing from ethnographic data collected during fieldwork examining diabetes healthcare resources and interviews with individuals living with diabetes on the South Side of Chicago, I examine how access to quality healthcare interacts with the daily lives and illness experiences of individuals with diabetes. Qualitative methods allow me to delve deeply into the individual experiences of respondents and identify the mechanisms by which diabetes care is negotiated. I argue that it is important to consider fundamental causes of health inequality beyond socioeconomic status, as I reveal how access to reliable and high-quality healthcare plays a fundamental role in health outcomes by impacting individuals’ ability to seek and access quality care and resources through multiple mechanisms. I specifically examine these mechanisms, as I show how access to healthcare and continuity of care influences healthcare outcomes through insurance status, trust in the doctor-patient relationship, sustainable medication and management routines, and access to healthcare information networks. Ultimately, I argue that access to health insurance is fundamental, structuring individuals’ ability to develop and maintain continuous medical care and strong relationships with their doctors, impacting individuals’ access to important medications and healthcare resources, ability to manage their illnesses, and overall health.

description: An average of 9,472,000 persons lived on farms in the Nation's rural areas during the 12-month period centered on April 1973. Since 1970, the U.S. farm population has remained relatively stable, contrasting with sharp declines of the 1950 's and 1960 's. Between 19 70 and 1973 the absolute average loss of farm people through migration and reclassification of residence from farm to non-farm was 113,000 annually. The rate of this net outmovement was about 1 percent a year.

description: Speculative bubbles have been occurring periodically in local or global real estate markets and are considered a potential cause of economic crises. In this context, the detection of explosive behaviors in the financial market and the implementation of early warning diagnosis tests are of critical importance. The recent increase in Brazilian housing prices has risen concerns that the Brazilian economy may have a speculative housing bubble. In the present paper, we employ a recently proposed recursive unit root test in order to identify possible speculative bubbles in data from the Brazilian residential real-estate market. The empirical results show evidence for speculative price bubbles both in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the two main Brazilian cities.

description: We study the phase diagram in a two-dimensional Fermi gas with the synthetic spin-orbit coupling that has recently been realized experimentally. In particular, we characterize in detail the properties and the stability region of the unconventional Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states in such a system, which are induced by spin-orbit coupling and Fermi surface asymmetry. We identify several distinct nodal FFLO states by studying the topology of their respective gapless contours in momentum space. We then examine the phase structure and the number density distributions in a typical harmonic trapping potential under the local density approximation. Our studies provide detailed information on the FFLO pairing states with spin-orbit coupling and Fermi surface asymmetry, and will facilitate experimental detection of these interesting pairing states in the future.

data mining

description: Proper application of the FAIR data principles is what separates a vibrant data ecosystem, in which research data are frequently shared and reused, from a lifeless data graveyard. Automated metadata extraction systems have been proposed as a means of bolstering the findability, interoperability, and reusabil- ity of data repositories with little or no human intervention. These extraction systems mine metadata by crawling a repository and applying lightweight extractors that, for various types of file (e.g., image, CSV file), extract or synthesize relevant attributes. In practice, however, the automated creation of generally useful metadata is fraught with challenges. Data consumers may have different perspectives as to what metadata representations are useful, the standards for recording metadata tend to change over time, and the software model for processing updates can introduce unnecessary human and computational effort. Thus, generalizing extraction for a broad audience of data consumers is a difficult and relatively unsolved problem. In this work, we explore these challenges faced by extraction systems in the context of constructing our own extraction system for science data. We first define the metadata extraction problem and provide context to the issues faced in generalizing metadata. Additionally, we identify potential research directions to help alleviate many of these challenges for all automated extraction systems. Ultimately, this work represents a first step in designing ubiquitous metadata extraction systems that can maximize the value of research data while minimizing the human efforts required in doing so.

description: The configuration entropy (CE) provides a measure of the stability of physical systems that are spatially localized. An increase in the CE is associated with an increase in the instability of the system. In this work we apply a recently developed holographic description of a rotating plasma, in order to investigate the behaviour of the CE when the plasma has angular momentum. Considering the holographic dual to the plasma, namely a rotating AdS black hole, the CE is computed at different rotational speeds and temperatures. The result obtained shows not only an increase with the rotational speed $ v$ but, in particular, a divergence of the CE as $v$ approaches the speed of light: $\, v \to 1 $. We discuss the results obtained showing that they are consistent with the change in the geometry of the black hole caused by the rotation and the corresponding variation of the volume of the dual plasma. We also connect the results found here with those obtained in a recent work, where it was shown that the complete dissociation of heavy mesons in a plasma is represented by a positive singularity in the CE.

description: Emotion expressions serve as important communicative signals and are crucial cues in intuitive interactions between humans. Hence, it is essential to include these fundamentals in robotic behavior strategies when interacting with humans to promote mutual understanding and to reduce misjudgements. We tackle this challenge by detecting and using the emotional state and attention for a sentiment analysis of potential human interaction partners to select well-adjusted engagement strategies. This way, we pave the way for more intuitive human-robot interactions, as the robot's action conforms to the person's mood and expectation. We propose four different engagement strategies with implicit and explicit communication techniques that we implement on a mobile robot platform for initial experiments.

The importance of inhaler adherence in severe asthma and its relationship to clinical outcomes

description: Patients with asthma who remain troubled with symptoms and asthma attacks despite the use of long acting beta-agonist and inhaled corticosteroid therapy are classed as having severe asthma. Some of these patients have “‘difficult to control’” asthma because of poor adherence or inhaler technique, while others have asthma that is ‘refractory’ to treatment. Identifying and addressing poor adherence to ICS/LABA therapy is essential in management of patients with severe asthma. In clinical trials, adherence assessment ensures that only patients with ‘refractory’ asthma are enrolled and reduces the variance in the results that could result as a consequence of not assessing adherence. In clinical practice assessing and addressing adherence allows appropriate use of biologic therapy. The aim of this thesis was to develop ways to assess adherence to maintenance asthma therapy. Firstly, I conducted a systematic review, investigating whether, and how adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting beta agonist (LABA) is assessed in the screening and run-in phase of randomised controlled trials of ‘add on therapy’ in severe asthma. I found that adherence to ICS/LABA therapy assessment and reporting is rarely done and that the methods used to assess adherence in the randomised controlled trials were inadequate. To overcome these inadequacies, I conducted a randomised clinical trial to assess adherence in patients with severe asthma using the INhaler Compliance Assessment (INCA) device, a digital audio recording device that provides information on inhaler time of use and inhaler technique. I devised pathways that incorporated this information, as well as patient’s symptom scores and peak expiratory flow to design a physician script tailored to optimise asthma treatment. The study assessed the value of using an objective method of assessing inhaler adherence in tailored education therapy and how it guides clinicians to make informed clinical decisions in treating patients with severe asthma.

description: We investigate heat transport associated with compositionally-driven convection driven by crystallization at the ocean-crust interface in accreting neutron stars, or growth of the solid core in cooling white dwarfs. We study the effect of thermal diffusion and rapid rotation on the convective heat transport, using both mixing length theory and numerical simulations of Boussinesq convection. We determine the heat flux, composition gradient and Péclet number, $\mathrm{Pe}$ (the ratio of thermal diffusion time to convective turnover time) as a function of the composition flux. We find two regimes of convection with a rapid transition between them as the composition flux increases. At small Pe, the ratio between the heat flux and composition flux is independent of Pe,, because the loss of heat from convecting fluid elements due to thermal diffusion is offset by the smaller composition gradient needed to overcome the reduced thermal buoyancy. At large Pe, the temperature gradient approaches the adiabatic gradient, saturating the heat flux. We discuss the implications for neutron star and white dwarf cooling. Convection in neutron stars spans both regimes. We find rapid mixing of neutron star oceans, with a convective turnover time of order weeks to minutes depending on rotation. Except during the early stages of core crystallization, white dwarf convection is in the thermal-diffusion-dominated fingering regime. We find convective velocities much smaller than recent estimates for crystallization-driven dynamos. The small fraction of energy carried as kinetic energy calls into question the effectiveness of crystallization-driven dynamos as an explanation for observed white dwarf magnetic fields.

description: Two-dimensional semimetals with tilted Dirac cones in the electronic band structure are shown to exhibit spatial separation of carriers belonging to different valleys under illumination. In stark contrast to gapped Dirac materials this optovalleytronic phenomenon occurs in systems with intact inversion and time-reversal symmetry that host massless Dirac cones in the band structure, thereby retaining the exceptional graphene-like transport properties. As a result we demonstrate that optical valley separation is possible at arbitrarily low photon frequencies including the deep infrared and terahertz regimes with full gate tunability via Pauli blocking. As a specific example of our theory, we demonstrate tunable valley separation in the proposed two-dimensional tilted Dirac cone semimetal 8-$Pmmn$ borophene for incident infrared photons at room temperature.

We also analyze string configurations where the strings are stretched along the T-dual coordinates. This semiclassical analysis predicts the existence of chiral primary operators for the dual (strongly coupled) superconformal field theory whose anomalous dimension depends on the T-dual coordinates. We briefly discuss the Penrose limit of the dualised background.

description: We give a comprehensive mean-field analysis of the Partisan Voter Model (PVM) and report analytical results for exit probabilities, fixation times, and the quasi-stationary distribution. In addition, and similarly to the noisy voter model, we introduce a noisy version of the PVM, named as the Noisy Partisan Voter Model (NPVM) which accounts for the preferences of each agent for the two possible states, as well as for idiosyncratic spontaneous changes of state. We find that the finite-size noise-induced transition of the noisy voter model is modified in the NPVM leading to the emergence of new intermediate phases and both continuous and discontinuous transitions.

description: Catalysts are quantum systems that open up dynamical pathways between quantum states which are otherwise inaccessible under a given set of operational restrictions while, at the same time, they do not change their quantum state. We here consider the restrictions imposed by symmetries and conservation laws, where any quantum channel has to be covariant with respect to the unitary representation of a symmetry group, and present two results. First, for an exact catalyst to be useful, it has to build up correlations to either the system of interest or the degrees of freedom dilating the given process to covariant unitary dynamics. This explains why catalysts in pure states are useless. Second, if a quantum system ("reference frame") is used to simulate to high precision unitary dynamics (which possibly violates the conservation law) on another system via a global, covariant quantum channel, then this channel can be chosen so that the reference frame is approximately catalytic. In other words, a reference frame that simulates unitary dynamics to high precision degrades only very little.

These results were compared with costs from a similar survey conducted during the 1969/70 season. Total harvesting cost in 1972/73 varied from 46 cents per bushel for Winesap apples in the Northwest to 75 cents for McIntosh in the Northeast. In all major production regions except the Northeast, a comparison of the surveys indicated lower or constant charges for regular and controlled atmosphere storage. Total packing and selling charges during the 1972/73 season for tray packed Red Delicious apples ranged from $1.30 per carton in the Lake States to $1.83 in the Northwest.

These data extend previously analyzed samples and fill a gap in spectral type coverage. The combined sample confirms a revised (downward) effective temperature scale with respect to canonical calibrations, as found in our previous works from UV and optical spectra, and in recent works by other authors.

description: Motivated by a quantum Zeno dynamics in a cavity quantum electrodynamics setting, we study the asymptotics of a family of symbols corresponding to a truncated momentum operator, in the semiclassical limit of vanishing Planck constant $\hbar\to0$ and large quantum number $N\to\infty$, with $\hbar N$ kept fixed. In a suitable topology, the limit is the discontinuous symbol $pχ_D(x,p)$ where $χ_D$ is the characteristic function of the classically permitted region $D$ in phase space. A refined analysis shows that the symbol is asymptotically close to the function $pχ_D^{(N)}(x,p)$, where $χ_D^{(N)}$ is a smooth version of $χ_D$ related to the integrated Airy function. We also discuss the limit from a dynamical point of view.

These themes highlighted that the process of using a team was different to what was expected, but that it could be helpful when people were made to feel safe and understood. It suggested that reflecting teams are an effective and helpful approach within family and couples therapy. Extra considerations should be taken to ensure that clients feel able to engage with the process, avoiding it from becoming overwhelming and unhelpful.Research Report: As child and adolescent mental health services often provide family therapy to teenagers and their families, this research aimed to explore their experiences of the team. Four young people aged between 12 to 18 were recruited from a family therapy service. They took part in semi structured interviews which were then subject to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three themes were identified relating to Feeling exposed, Process of Change and Ambivalence. The presence of the team and mirror was uncomfortable but did allow a change for young people voices to be heard. The process of change included factors recognised by young people, such as the presence of the team themselves, how they brought differences together. Ambivalence about making changes was related to their perspective of who was responsible to change, and how they were motivated to do things differently.

description: Sampling from matrix generalized inverse Gaussian (MGIG) distributions is required in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for a variety of statistical models. However, an efficient sampling scheme for the MGIG distributions has not been fully developed. We here propose a novel blocked Gibbs sampler for the MGIG distributions, based on the Choleski decomposition. We show that the full conditionals of the diagonal and unit lower-triangular entries are univariate generalized inverse Gaussian and multivariate normal distributions, respectively. Several variants of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm can also be considered for this problem, but we mathematically prove that the average acceptance rates become extremely low in particular scenarios. We demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed Gibbs sampler through simulation studies and data analysis.

Cosmic superstring networks with Y-junctions: Evolution, B-modes and Gravitational waves

description: We review the properties and evolution of strings networks containing both a spectrum of string tensions as well as Y-junctions, namely a point at which three different strings meet. Such a situation is expected in cosmic superstring networks, where the tension of the different strings is determined by the fundamental string tension $μ_F$ as well as the string coupling $g_s$. We discuss evolution of such a network, and the proliferation of kinks as they travel through junctions. These effects can leave observational signals on B-modes and gravitational waves, which can then in turn constrain the underlying parameters of the theory.

description: Young $δ$ Scuti stars have proven to be valuable asteroseismic targets but obtaining robust uncertainties on their inferred properties is challenging. We aim to quantify the random uncertainties in grid-based modelling of $δ$ Sct stars. We apply Bayesian inference using nested sampling and a neural network emulator of stellar models, testing our method on both simulated and real stars. Based on results from simulated stars we demonstrate that our method can recover plausible posterior probability density estimates while accounting for both the random uncertainty from the observations and neural network emulation. We find that the posterior distributions of the fundamental parameters can be significantly non-Gaussian, multi-modal, and have strong covariance. We conclude that our method reliably estimates the random uncertainty in the modelling of $δ$ Sct stars and paves the way for the investigation and quantification of the systematic uncertainty.

description: Heating of buildings represents a significant share of the energy consumption in Europe. Smart thermostats that capitalize on the data-driven analysis of heating patterns in order to optimize heat supply are a very promising part of building energy management technology. However, factors driving their acceptance by building inhabitants are poorly understood although being a prerequisite for fully tapping on their potential. In order to understand the driving forces of technology adoption in this use case, a large survey (N = 2250) was conducted in five EU countries (Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Greece). For the data analysis structural equation modelling based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was employed, which was extended by adding social beliefs, including descriptive social norms, collective efficacy, social identity and trust. As a result, performance expectancy, price value, and effort expectancy proved to be the most important predictors overall, with variations across countries. In sum, the adoption of smart thermostats appears more strongly associated with individual beliefs about their functioning, potentially reducing their adoption. At the end of the paper, implications for policy making and marketing of smart heating technologies are discussed.

description: We have estimated the electrical and thermal conductivity of a hadron resonance gas for a time-varying magnetic field, which is also compared with constant and zero magnetic field cases. Considering the exponential decay of electromagnetic fields with time, a kinetic theory framework can provide the microscopic expression of electrical and thermal conductivity in terms of relaxation and decay times. In the absence of the magnetic field, only a single time scale appears, and in the finite magnetic field case, their expressions carry two-time scales, relaxation time and cyclotron time period. Estimating the conductivities for HRG matter in three cases -- zero, constant, and time-varying magnetic fields, we have studied the validity of the Wiedemann-Franz law. We noticed that at a high-temperature domain, the ratio saturates at a particular value, which may be considered as Lorenz number of the hadron resonance gas. With respect to the saturation values, the deviation of the Wiedemann-Franz law has been quantified at the low-temperature domain. For the first time, the present work sketches this quantitative deviation of the Wiedemann-Franz law for hadron resonance gas at a constant and a time-varying magnetic field.

description: Ga2O3 and its polymorphs are attracting increasing attention. The rich structural space of polymorphic oxide systems such as Ga2O3 offers potential for electronic structure engineering, which is of particular interest for a range of applications, such as power electronics. γ-Ga2O3 presents a particular challenge across synthesis, characterization, and theory due to its inherent disorder and resulting complex structure–electronic-structure relationship. Here, density functional theory is used in combination with a machine-learning approach to screen nearly one million potential structures, thereby developing a robust atomistic model of the γ-phase. Theoretical results are compared with surface and bulk sensitive soft and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy experiments representative of the occupied and unoccupied states of γ-Ga2O3. The first onset of strong absorption at room temperature is found at 5.1 eV from spectroscopic ellipsometry, which agrees well with the excitation maximum at 5.17 eV obtained by photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, where the latter shifts to 5.33 eV at 5 K. This work presents a leap forward in the treatment of complex, disordered oxides and is a crucial step toward exploring how their electronic structure can be understood in terms of local coordination and overall structure.
