description: Men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women are disproportionately affected by HIV in Guatemala, yet little is known about their experiences with diagnosis, linkage to care, and retention. We conducted qualitative interviews with 26 MSM and transgender women living with HIV in Guatemala City. HIV diagnosis experiences changed over time with increasing asymptomatic testing at non-governmental organizations. Fear of the physical and social impacts of HIV delayed testing, acceptance of diagnosis, and linkage to HIV care. These fears were driven by layered stigma and discrimination due to non-normative gender expressions and/or sexual orientation. Retention-specific determinants included HIV clinic dynamics and limited employment opportunities. There is an urgent need to improve support systems for early testing and linkage to care and to expand employment opportunities. Stigma and discrimination must be addressed at the family, clinic and contextual levels to reduce fear of diagnosis and improve access to care.

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη, ξεκινά με αφετηρία την σύγχρονη δομή των πόλεων, τονίζοντας την γραμμική τους λειτουργία. Μελετώντας τις δυνατότητες των υφιστάμενων υποδομών και σε συνδυασμό με την εμπλοκή της κοινότητας, αναγνωρίζεται η σημασία των πόλεων για την εφαρμογή νέων πρακτικών. Μέσω της ανάλυσης των συλλογικών κατοικιών σε Ευρώπη και Ελλάδα, διαπιστώνουμε τη σταθερότητα των δομών στο πέρασμα του χρόνου. Αυτό έχει ως αποτέλεσμα να μην επιτελούν τον σκοπό τους με βάση τις σύγχρονες ανάγκες και συχνά να κατεδαφίζονται πλήρως και να αντικαθίστανται. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις περιβαλλοντικές προκλήσεις της εποχής μας, υπογραμμίζεται η ανάγκη για μετάβαση από γραμμικές μεθόδους σε κυκλικές. Έναντι της κατασκευής νέων, υποστηρίζεται η επανάχρηση υφιστάμενων δομών, βασισμένη σε νέες αρχές σχεδιασμού. Κατανοώντας τις πρακτικές που ενθαρρύνουν τη βιωσιμότητα και βάσει παραδειγμάτων, παρουσιάζεται ένα νέο πρότυπο εφαρμογής με στόχο το μειωμένο περιβαλλοντικό αποτύπωμα των πόλεων.

description: The present study starts from the modern structure of cities, emphasizing their linear function. By examining the potential of existing infrastructure, along with the community engagement, the importance of cities in adopting new practices is highlighted. Through the analysis of collective housing in Europe and Greece, we establish the permanence of structures over time. As a result, they do not fulfil their purpose based on contemporary needs and are often completely demolished and replaced. In view of the environmental challenges of our time, the need to move from linear to circular methods is emphasised. Instead of building new structures, the reuse of existing structures based on new design principles is advocated. Understanding practices that stimulate sustainability and based on examples, a new prototype is presented with the aim of reducing the environmental footprint of cities.

Subjects: Black mental health, impact of racism

description: This project investigates the historical impact of the Middle Passage, slavery, Reconstruction, the Black Codes, and the Civil Rights movement on Black Americans' current mental health struggles and racism in mental health care. An in-depth comparison of first- and second-hand historical accounts of Black Americans, as well as contemporary accounts, books, and studies about Black mental health in the present, reveal an ongoing experience of trauma from which African Americans have not been allowed to recover collectively due to unyielding racism. It also shows how Black Americans have always found psychological and emotional strength through community and music. These findings demonstrate the importance of enabling Black Americans to heal, an opportunity that is once again being denied by the United States through powerful interests attempting to ban the accurate teaching of history.

description: The roles of oxygen vacancies on the electronic and magnetic properties of Ni doped In$_2$O$_3$ have been studied by first-principles calculations based on hybrid functional theory. Our results predict that the Ni-doped In$_2$O$_3$ system displays a ferromagnetic semiconducting character. However, the presence of oxygen vacancies results in antiferromagnetic coupling between the neighboring Ni pair bridged by an oxygen vacancy. The antiferromagnetic coupling is found to arise from the predominant role of superexchange due to the strong Ni 3d-O 2p hybridization. Consequently, the oxygen vacancies play a key role in the lower saturation magnetization of Ni:In$_2$O$_3$ polycrystalline sample, as observed in experiments.

Geology of the White Pine District
Creators: name: Humphrey, Fred L.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1956

description: The White Pine district of Nevada is about 30 miles east of Eureka, midway between eureka and Ely, and includes approximately 270 square miles. the area comprises essentially the southeast quarter of the Seligman No. 1 quadrangle, the southwest quarter of the Illipah No. 2 quadrangle, the northwest quarter of the Treasure Hill quadrangle, and the northeast quarter of the Mount Hamilton quadrangle in T. 15, 16, 17, N., and R. 57, 58 E., M.D.B. and M.
The original purpose of the geological work, done under the direction of the Nevada Bureau of Mines, was to prepare a map of the area around Hamilton and Pogonip Ridge in relation to the mineral deposits there. Various companies became interested in the petroleum possibilities of Eastern Nevada in 1947 and accordingly it was decided to expand the work to include more of the Upper Paleozoic rocks in the vicinity. The author spent most of the summers of 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949 working on this project.
Dynamical equations for time-ordered Green's functions: from the Keldysh time-loop contour to equilibrium at finite and zero temperature

description: We study the dynamical equation of the time-ordered Green's function at finite temperature. We show that the time-ordered Green's function obeys a conventional Dyson equation only at equilibrium and in the limit of zero-temperature. In all other cases, i.e. finite-temperature at equilibrium or non-equilibrium, the time-ordered Green's function obeys instead a modified Dyson equation. The derivation of this result is obtained from the general formalism of the non-equilibrium Green's functions on the Keldysh time-loop contour. At equilibrium, our result is fully consistent with the Matsubara temperature Green's function formalism and also justifies rigorously the correction terms introduced in an ad hoc way with Hedin and Lundqvist. Our results show that one should use the appropriate dynamical equation for the time-ordered Green's function when working beyond the equilibrium zero-temperature limit.

description: We prove that the rational number |n/m| is an invariant of the group von Neumann algebra of the Baumslag-Solitar group BS(n,m). More precisely, if L(BS(n,m)) is isomorphic with L(\BS(n',m')), then |n'/m'| = |n/m| or |m/n|. We obtain this result by associating to abelian, but not maximal abelian, subalgebras of a II_1 factor, an equivalence relation that can be of type III. In particular, we associate to L(BS(n,m)) a canonical equivalence relation of type III_|n/m|.

The evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies in a hierarchical universe

description: We investigate the evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) from redshift z~1.6 to z~0. We use the semi-analytic model of Croton et al. (2006) with a new spectro-photometric model based on the Maraston (2005) stellar populations and a new recipe for the dust extinction. We compare the model predictions of the K-band luminosity evolution and the J-K, V-I and I-K colour evolution with a series of datasets, including Collins et al. (Nature, 2009) who argued that semi-analytic models based on the Millennium simulation cannot reproduce the red colours and high luminosity of BCGs at z>1. We show instead that the model is well in range of the observed luminosity and correctly reproduces the colour evolution of BCGs in the whole redshift range up to z~1.6. We argue that the success of the semi-analytic model is in large part due to the implementation of a more sophisticated spectro-photometric model. An analysis of the model BCGs shows an increase in mass by a factor ~2 since z~1, and star formation activity down to low redshifts. While the consensus regarding BCGs is that they are passively evolving, we argue that this conclusion is affected by the degeneracy between star formation history and stellar population models used in SED-fitting, and by the inefficacy of toy-models of passive evolution to capture the complexity of real galaxies, expecially those with rich merger histories like BCGs. Following this argument, we also show that in the semi-analytic model the BCGs show a realistic mix of stellar populations, and that these stellar populations are mostly old. In addition, the age-redshift relation of the model BCGs follows that of the universe, meaning that given their merger history and star formation history, the ageing of BCGs is always dominated by the ageing of their stellar populations. In a LambdaCDM universe, we define such evolution as "passive in the hierarchical sense".

Clinicians Who Care: Promoting Inclusive Language Among Healthcare Majors
Creators: name: Hubbard-Valentino, Anika A.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: inclusive language, LGBTQ+, healthcare, education, inclusivity

description: Language can help provide quality healthcare. Healthcare students take classes that teach therapeutic communication and are tested on their ability to communicate with empathy and effectiveness. However, higher education often neglects inclusivity and its relevance to healthcare language. Inclusive language incorporates neutral vocabulary and avoids stereotyping marginalized individuals or communities. Teaching and implementing inclusive language in healthcare will help establish trusting and respectful patient-provider relationships, especially for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) patients. After experiencing a lack of comprehensive education on LGBTQ+ inclusive language among healthcare majors at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), I developed a multimedia educational program in an effort to present a condensed curriculum of inclusive language in healthcare. I derived the information presented in this project from peer-reviewed literature, published content from governmental agencies, and from my own lived experiences, both as an LGBTQ+ person and senior nursing student. This project may serve as a foundation for future development of diversity and inclusive language curriculum for healthcare majors at CSUF. This project will contribute to the empowerment and creation of a new generation of healthcare professionals who practice with respect, inclusivity, and acceptance.
The evolution of healthcare quality measurement in the United States

Year: 2016

description: Quality measurement is fundamental to systematic improvement of the healthcare system. Whilst the United States has made significant investments in healthcare quality measurement and improvement, progress has been somewhat limited. Public and private payers in the United States increasingly mandate measurement and reporting as part of pay-for-performance programmes. Numerous issues have limited improvement, including lack of alignment in the use of measures and improvement strategies, the fragmentation of the U.S. healthcare system, and the lack of national electronic systems for measurement, reporting, benchmarking and improvement. Here, we provide an overview of the evolution of U.S. quality measurement efforts, including the role of the National Quality Forum. Important contextual changes such as the growing shift towards electronic data sources and clinical registries are discussed together with international comparisons. In future, the U.S. healthcare system needs to focus greater attention on the development and use of measures that matter. The three-part aim of effective care, affordable care and healthy communities in the U.S. National Quality Strategy focuses attention on population health and reduction in healthcare disparities. To make significant improvements in U.S. health care, a closer connection between measurement and both evolving national data systems and evidence-based improvement strategies is needed.

In particular, we compute the electroweak logarithmic corrections of infrared origin to the annihilation cross section of a dark matter particle being the neutral component of a SU(2)_L multiplet. The inclusion of processes with final state W can modify significantly the cross sections computed with only virtual W exchange. Our results show that the inclusion of infrared logs is necessary for a precise computation of the dark matter relic abundance.

The asymptotic behaviour of the explicit solutions of the adhesion approximation has been studied. The radial components of the velocity and density satisfy a simpler equation which enables us to get explicit formulae for different types of domains and study its asymptotic behaviour. A class of solutions for the inviscid system with conditions on the mass instead of conditions at origin has also been analyzed.

The Effects of Tidal Elevation and Wind/Wave Exposure on Oyster Recruitment in San Diego Bay, California
Creators: name: Howe, Anna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: reef balls, living shoreline, Ostrea lurida, Magallana gigas, recruitment, wind and wave action

description: Habitat modification in California coastal areas has led to increased erosion and shoreline loss. Oyster restoration may reduce shoreline loss by reintroducing complex structure that slows wave action. The Port of San Diego installed spherical concrete Living Shoreline structures (“reef balls”) on the mudflats of the Chula Vista Wildlife Reserve in San Diego Bay to increase native Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) populations while aiming to discourage recruitment by non-native Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas). I surveyed the reef balls to determine the abundance and relative cover of native and non-native oysters to understand the distribution of both species relative to wind exposure and tidal elevation. I predict that there will be a higher abundance and relative cover of both species on leeward sides (protected from wind and waves) of reef balls, and higher abundance and relative cover of native oysters at lower tidal elevations. This project will support efforts by the Port of San Diego to further adapt the building and construction of Living Shorelines to restore the population of native oysters and reduce erosion in San Diego Bay.

description: Larkspurs (Delphinium spp.) are toxic native plants on foothill and mountain rangelands in western North America, which poison cattle grazing on those rangelands. The purpose of this study was to examine in a laboratory setting, the subclinical effects of larkspur intake and toxicosis, by allowing larkspur susceptible and resistant cattle to self-select the amount of larkspur consumed in pellet form. We hypothesized that there would be differences in short term (9 – 11 day) pellet consumption between susceptible and resistant animals. Two trials were completed, each with larkspur resistant and susceptible Angus steers, and larkspur-alfalfa pellets at a 12% and 6% larkspur for trial 1 and trial 2, respectively. There were no differences in pellet consumption between the two groups in either trial. The cattle were averted to the 12% larkspur-containing pellet in trial 1. During trial 2, the susceptible and resistant steers differed in serum concentrations of methyllycaconitine (MLA) on days 9 to 12 but did not have significantly different exercise times (38.0 ± 3 min and 27.2 ± 6.5 min for resistant and susceptible steers, respectively). Larkspur alkaloids were potent aversive agents in cattle when fed as a 12% larkspur-containing pellet. The lack of differences in responses between susceptible and resistant cattle were attributed to the development of pharmacodynamic tolerance to larkspur alkaloids by the actions of larkspur alkaloids at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Zamolodchikov, to the fields $φ_{n,n\pm 3}$. This required a close investigation of mixing with the descendant fields at the level 2. In particular we identify those specific linear combinations of UV fields which flow to the IR fields $φ_{n+3,n}$ and $φ_{n-3,n}$. We report also the results of the calculation of the same mixing coefficients through the recent RG domain wall approach by Gaiotto. These results are in complete agreement with the leading order perturbation theory.

Ventilation rates for carassius auratus during changes in dissolved oxygen
Creators: name: Nolan, Collin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: This experiment was designed to determine whether dissolved oxygen concentrations would influence the ventilation rate of goldfish, Carassius auratus. Ventilation rate can be determined by counting opercular movements. Opercular movements of the same five goldfish were counted at three different levels of dissolved oxygen to determine whether there were differences in ventilation rates. Average ventilation rates were established for each of the three levels of dissolved oxygen and compared statistically. There were significant differences in the ventilation rates averages at each of the three levels. Carassius auratus will exhibit changes in ventilation rates when dissolved oxygen levels change.

description: We present the results from the Tevatron on the direct searches for Standard Model Higgs boson produced in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV, using the data corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 10fb$^{-1}$. The searches are performed in the Higgs boson mass range from 100 to 200 GeV/c$^{2}$. The dominant production channels, $H\rightarrow b\bar{b}$ and $H \rightarrow WW$, are combined with all the secondary channels and significant analysis improvements have been implemented to maximize the search sensitivity. We observe a significant excess of data events compared to background predictions with the local significance of 3.0 standard deviations. The global significance for such an excess anywhere in the full mass range investigated is approximately 2.5 standard deviations.

description: We derive explicit expressions for the multi-detector F-statistic metric applied to short-duration non-precessing inspiral signals. This is required for template bank production associated with coherent searches for short-duration non-precessing inspiral signals in gravitational-wave data from a network of detectors. We compare the metric's performance with explicit overlap calculations for all relevant dimensions of parameter space and find the metric accurately predicts the loss of detection statistic above overlaps of 95%. We also show the effect that neglecting the variations of the detector response functions has on the metric.

Hydrodynamic turbulence as a problem in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We reformulate the problem of hydrodynamic turbulence as a heat flow problem. We obtain thus a prediction $$ ζ_p={p\over3}-{1\over\lnκ}\lnΓ({p\over3}+1) $$ for the exponents of the structure functions ($=r^{ζ_p}$). The meaning of the adjustable parameter $κ$ is that when an eddy of size $r$ has decayed to eddies of size $r/κ$ their energies have a thermal distribution. The above formula, with $(\lnκ)^{-1}=.32\pm.01$ is compatible with experimental data. This agreement lends supports to our physically motivated picture of turbulence.

description: We derive a dynamic Ornstein-Zernike equation for classical fluids undergoing overdamped Brownian motion and driven out of equilibrium. Inhomogeneous two-time correlation functions are obtained from functional differentiation of the one-body density and current with respect to an appropriately chosen external field. Functional calculus leads naturally to non-Markovian equations of motion for the two-time correlators. Memory functions are identified as functional derivatives of a space- and time-nonlocal power dissipation functional. We propose an excess (over ideal gas) dissipation functional that both generates mode-coupling theory for the two-body correlations and extends dynamical density functional theory for the one-body fields, thus unifying the two approaches.

An Introductory Wine Course For Hospitality Students
Creators: name: Conklin, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of an associate level hospitality management degree program is to prepare graduates for careers in the multi-faceted hospitality industry. In order to be successful these graduates must have the knowledge, skills and ability to be successful in the industry. The curriculum for these programs must be comprehensive, current and relevant to the industry. The research presented in this paper is intended to address introductory wine education, and outline an introductory course in wine. This area, which is not currently offered in some programs, is an important part of the food service side of the industry.

description: We study projections onto non-degenerate one-dimensional families of lines and planes in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. Using the classical potential theoretic approach of R. Kaufman, one can show that the Hausdorff dimension of at most $1/2$-dimensional sets $B \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is typically preserved under one-dimensional families of projections onto lines. We improve the result by an $\varepsilon$, proving that if $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B = s > 1/2$, then the packing dimension of the projections is almost surely at least $σ(s) > 1/2$. For projections onto planes, we obtain a similar bound, with the threshold $1/2$ replaced by $1$. In the special case of self-similar sets $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ without rotations, we obtain a full Marstrand type projection theorem for one-parameter families of projections onto lines. The $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K \leq 1$ case of the result follows from recent work of M. Hochman, but the $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K > 1$ part is new: with this assumption, we prove that the projections have positive length almost surely.

description: The process of spermatogenesis—when germ cells differentiate into sperm—is tightly regulated, and misregulation in gene expression is likely to be involved in the physiopathology of male infertility. The testis is one of the most transcriptionally rich tissues; nevertheless, the specific gene expression changes occurring during spermatogenesis are not fully understood. To better understand gene expression during spermatogenesis, we generated germ cell–specific whole transcriptome profiles by systematically comparing testicular transcriptomes from tissues in which spermatogenesis is arrested at successive steps of germ cell differentiation. In these comparisons, we found thousands of differentially expressed genes between successive germ cell types of infertility patients. We demonstrate our analyses’ potential to identify novel highly germ cell–specific markers (TSPY4 and LUZP4 for spermatogonia; HMGB4 for round spermatids) and identified putatively misregulated genes in male infertility ('RWDD2A, CCDC183, CNNM1, SERF1B'). Apart from these, we found thousands of genes showing germ cell–specific isoforms (including 'SOX15, SPATA4, SYCP3, MKI67'). Our approach and dataset can help elucidate genetic and transcriptional causes for male infertility.

Genesis and morphology of soil pendants in Quaternary landforms of Pahranagat Valley, Nevada
Creators: name: Brock, Amy Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2002

description: Five geomorphic surfaces present in the northern Pahranagat Valley, Lincoln County, Nevada range in age from Early Pleistocene to Recent (Q1-Q5) and vary in clast lithology from dolomite to volcanic tephras. Two chronosequences and 5 lithosequences were compared to evaluate micro and macromorphic characteristics and development of soil pendants. This study presents a new interpretation for soil pendant development. Key features observed in the Pahranagat Valley pendants provide evidence for precipitation at the clast-pendant contact suggesting that newer deposits are not always found at the pendant terminus as other studies have assumed. These features include a void at the clast-pendant contact where precipitates such as calcium carbonate, silica and/or fibrous silicate clays may precipitate. Other features present in these pendants include significant amounts of parent clast grains that are incorporated into the pendant, detrital grain and parent material displacement and/or dissolution and presence of the fibrous clay sepiolite.

description: The formation energies and transition energy levels of native defects in hexagonal BN have been studied by first-principles calculations based on hybrid density functional theory (DFT) together with an empirical dispersion correction of Grimme's DFT-D2 method. Our calculated results predict that the interstitial B is the most stable defect under N-rich and p-type conditions. While the B vacancy and interstitial N become the dominate defects when the electron chemical potential is near the conduction band maximum of host. Nevertheless, these compensating defects would be inactive due to their ultra deep ionization levels under both p- and n-type conditions.

description: Apoptosis, inflammation, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and catabolism are compromised with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Ginkgetin (GK) has been demonstrated to alleviate several diseases; however, its effect on IDD remains unknown. The nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) were stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1β to construct the IDD models in vitro. Rats were used for the construction of the IDD models in vivo via the fibrous ring puncture method. The effect and mechanism of GK on IDD were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, western blot, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and safranine O staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, respectively. GK increased the cell viability and upregulated the expressions of anti-apoptosis and ECM synthesis markers in NPCs treated with IL-1β. GK also decreased apoptosis rate, and downregulated the expressions of proteins related to pro-apoptosis, ECM catabolism, and inflammation in vitro. Mechanically, GK reduced the expression of nucleotide binding oligomeric domain like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-related proteins. Overexpression of NLRP3 reversed the effect of GK on the proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and ECM degradation in IL-1β-induced NPCs. Moreover, GK attenuated the pathological manifestations, inflammation, ECM degradation, and NLRP3 inflammasome expression in IDD rats. GK suppressed apoptosis, inflammation, and ECM degradation to alleviate IDD via the inactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome.

description: The utilization of populations is one of the most important features of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). There have been many studies analyzing the impact of different population sizes on the performance of EAs. However, most of such studies are based computational experiments, except for a few cases. The common wisdom so far appears to be that a large population would increase the population diversity and thus help an EA. Indeed, increasing the population size has been a commonly used strategy in tuning an EA when it did not perform as well as expected for a given problem. He and Yao (2002) showed theoretically that for some problem instance classes, a population can help to reduce the runtime of an EA from exponential to polynomial time. This paper analyzes the role of population further in EAs and shows rigorously that large populations may not always be useful. Conditions, under which large populations can be harmful, are discussed in this paper. Although the theoretical analysis was carried out on one multi-modal problem using a specific type of EAs, it has much wider implications. The analysis has revealed certain problem characteristics, which can be either the problem considered here or other problems, that lead to the disadvantages of large population sizes. The analytical approach developed in this paper can also be applied to analyzing EAs on other problems.

description: For $Ω$ bounded and open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{d_{0}}$ and $X$ a reflexive Banach space with 1-symmetric basis, the function space $JF_{X}(Ω)$ is defined. This class of spaces includes the classical James function space. Every member of this class is separable and has non-separable dual. We provide a proof of topological nature that $JF_{X}(Ω)$ does not contain an isomorphic copy of $\ell_{1}$. We also investigate the structure of these spaces and their duals.

description: When simulating molecular systems using deterministic equations of motion (e.g., Newtonian dynamics), such equations are generally numerically integrated according to a well-developed set of algorithms that share commonly agreed-upon desirable properties. However, for stochastic equations of motion (e.g., Langevin dynamics), there is still broad disagreement over which integration algorithms are most appropriate. While multiple desiderata have been proposed throughout the literature, consensus on which criteria are important is absent, and no published integration scheme satisfies all desiderata simultaneously. Additional nontrivial complications stem from simulating systems driven out of equilibrium using existing stochastic integration schemes in conjunction with recently-developed nonequilibrium fluctuation theorems. Here, we examine a family of discrete time integration schemes for Langevin dynamics, assessing how each member satisfies a variety of desiderata that have been enumerated in prior efforts to construct suitable Langevin integrators. We show that the incorporation of a novel time step rescaling in the deterministic updates of position and velocity can correct a number of dynamical defects in these integrators. Finally, we identify a particular splitting that has essentially universally appropriate properties for the simulation of Langevin dynamics for molecular systems in equilibrium, nonequilibrium, and path sampling contexts.
