description: We demonstrate wavelength conversion of QAM signals including 32GBd QPSK and 10GBd 16QAM in a 50cm long high index doped glass spiral waveguide. The quality of the generated idlers over a 10nm bandwidth is sufficient to achieve a BER performance below the HD FEC threshold (less than 3.8 x 10-3), with an OSNR penalty of less than 0.3 dB compared to the original signal. Our results confirm that this is a promising platform for nonlinear optical signal processing, a result of both very low linear propagation loss (less than 0.07 dB/cm) and the large material bandgap that ensures negligible nonlinear loss at telecom wavelengths.

description: We report an experimental and numerical study of the propagation of free-electron laser pulses (wavelength 24.3 nm) through helium gas. Ionisation and excitation populates the He$^{+}$ 4$p$ state. Strong, directional emission was observed at wavelengths of 469 nm, 164 nm, 30.4 nm, and 24.5 nm. We interpret the emissions at 469 nm and 164 nm as 4$p$-3$s$-2$p$ cascade superfluorescence, that at 30.4 nm as yoked superfluorescence on the 2$p$-1$s$ transition, and that at 25.6 nm as free-induction decay of the 3$p$ state.

description: Children and adolescents were among the most vulnerable groups at risk of adverse mental health implications as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Austria-specific studies from the perspective of public health professionals on this topic represent a gap in research. From the view of Austrian public health experts, the following study attempts to answer: (1) how they rate the impact of the pandemic for children and adolescents, (2) they rate the performance of the Austrian mental health system for children and adolescents amid the pandemic and (3) which actions they regard as necessary in order to be better equipped for mental health implications after the pandemic.
A qualitative expert interview was conducted (n=8), consisting of psychologists and public health experts, using qualitative thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Clarke & Braun, 2017).
Major results include observed spikes in various mental health disorders, a mix of praise and criticism for the performance of the Austrian mental health system, the need for affordable, easy access to therapy and the importance of psychology and politics working closer together. Experts also urged to focus on the positive learnings and outcomes for mental health in this crisis, citing easier access to online support and a breakdown of stigma. The findings expand our knowledge on the link between isolation and loneliness due to a global pandemic and mental health, the performance of the Austrian mental health system and future implications in order to be better equipped for mental health challenges in children and adolescents.

description: Introduction: Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection, is a growing threat to human health in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. There is a demand from public officials for maps that capture the current distribution of dengue and maps that analyze risk factors to predict the future burden of disease. Methods: To identify relevant articles, we searched Google Scholar, PubMed, BioMed Central, and WHOLIS (World Health Organization Library Database) for published articles with a specific set of dengue criteria between January 2002 and July 2013. Results: After evaluating the currently available dengue models, we identified four key barriers to the creation of high-quality dengue maps: (1) data limitations related to the expense of diagnosing and reporting dengue cases in places where health information systems are underdeveloped; (2) issues related to the use of socioeconomic proxies in places with limited dengue incidence data; (3) mosquito ranges which may be changing as a result of climate changes; and (4) the challenges of mapping dengue events at a variety of scales. Conclusion: An ideal dengue map will present endemic and epidemic dengue information from both rural and urban areas. Overcoming the current barriers requires expanded collaboration and data sharing by geographers, epidemiologists, and entomologists. Enhanced mapping techniques would allow for improved visualizations of dengue rates and risks.

title: Is the Conformational Ensemble of Alzheimer’s Aβ10-40 Peptide Force Field Dependent?
Creators: name: Siwy, Christopher M.
name: Lockhart, Christopher
name: Klimov, Dmitri K.
Publisher: name: PLOS
Year: 2017

description: By applying REMD simulations we have performed comparative analysis of the conformational ensembles of amino-truncated Aβ10-40 peptide produced with five force fields, which combine four protein parameterizations (CHARMM36, CHARMM22*, CHARMM22/cmap, and OPLS-AA) and two water models (standard and modified TIP3P). Aβ10-40 conformations were analyzed by computing secondary structure, backbone fluctuations, tertiary interactions, and radius of gyration. We have also calculated Aβ10-40 3JHNHα-coupling and RDC constants and compared them with their experimental counterparts obtained for the full length Aβ1-40 peptide. Our study led us to several conclusions. First, all force fields predict that Aβ adopts unfolded structure dominated by turn and random coil conformations. Second, specific TIP3P water model does not dramatically affect secondary or tertiary Aβ10-40 structure, albeit standard TIP3P model favors slightly more compact states. Third, although the secondary structures observed in CHARMM36 and CHARMM22/cmap simulations are qualitatively similar, their tertiary interactions show little consistency. Fourth, two force fields, OPLS-AA and CHARMM22* have unique features setting them apart from CHARMM36 or CHARMM22/cmap. OPLS-AA reveals moderate β-structure propensity coupled with extensive, but weak long-range tertiary interactions leading to Aβ collapsed conformations. CHARMM22* exhibits moderate helix propensity and generates multiple exceptionally stable long- and short-range interactions. Our investigation suggests that among all force fields CHARMM22* differs the most from CHARMM36. Fifth, the analysis of 3 JHNHα-coupling and RDC constants based on CHARMM36 force field with standard TIP3P model led us to an unexpected finding that in silico Aβ10-40 and experimental Aβ1-40 constants are generally in better agreement than these quantities computed and measured for identical peptides, such as Aβ1-40 or Aβ1-42. This observation suggests that the differences in the conformational ensembles of Aβ10-40 and Aβ1-40 are small and the former can be used as proxy of the full-length peptide. Based on this argument, we concluded that CHARMM36 force field with standard TIP3P model produces the most accurate representation of Aβ10-40 conformational ensemble.RDC constants based on CHARMM36 force field with standard TIP3P model led us to an unexpected finding that in silico Aβ10-40 and experimental Aβ1-40 constants are generally in better agreement than these quantities computed and measured for identical peptides, such as Aβ1-40 or Aβ1-42.

description: Dissertation. The papers in the dissertation address the following related lines of inquiry: How can writers' practices be studied? To what extent can writing processes be understood? How can research into writing process inform undergraduate teaching? And, what kinds of readings might best be applied to texts by emerging writers? These questions contribute to scholarship on writing process in the discipline of creative writing. The introduction contextualises these questions and discusses the origins of the papers in conjunction with the process used to write the novel. Novel. Annabel and Bill Whitton emigrate from Australia to New York after the Second World War. There they form an enduring friendship with fellow immigrants Frank and Suzy, an ex-Communist from Hungary and his left-leaning wife. In laboratories in Westchester, Annabel, Bill and Frank work on biological weapons projects. Annabel is devoted to her work and reluctant to resign herself to motherhood. Bill, who has long been politically active, secretly allies himself with Frank and Suzy. When Frank and Suzy attract the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and Bill decides to help a blacklisted actor and playwright escape to Canada, Annabel begins to discover the extent of Bill's duplicity.

description: This research employs game theoretic models to investigate how and when data-driven collaborations between manufacturers and retailers are beneficial. In the models, two symmetric retailers each offer two products from two different manufacturers. Each manufacturer may choose to collaborate with one or both retailers through data-driven initiatives in providing retail value to the consumers. The results show that the main incentive behind these collaborations arise from the efficient allocation of resources. Surprisingly, greater brand differentiation reduces profit margins and the incentive to collaborate. We also find that market leaders can endogenously arise through data-driven collaborations.

description: Estimating the homogeneous ice nucleation rate from undercooled liquid water is at the same time crucial for understanding many important physical phenomena and technological applications, and challenging for both experiments and theory. From a theoretical point of view, difficulties arise due to the long time scales required, as well as the numerous nucleation pathways involved to form ice nuclei with different stacking disorders. We computed the homogeneous ice nucleation rate at a physically relevant undercooling for a single-site water model, taking into account the diffuse nature of ice-water interfaces, stacking disorders in ice nuclei, and the addition rate of particles to the critical nucleus.We disentangled and investigated the relative importance of all the terms, including interfacial free energy, entropic contributions and the kinetic prefactor, that contribute to the overall nucleation rate.There has been a long-standing discrepancy for the predicted homogeneous ice nucleation rates, and our estimate is faster by 9 orders of magnitude compared with previous literature values. Breaking down the problem into segments and considering each term carefully can help us understand where the discrepancy may come from and how to systematically improve the existing computational methods.
Comparing B -> X_u l nu_l to B -> X_s gamma

description: We suggest a method to determine V_ub / V_ts through a comparison of B -> X_u l nu_l and B -> X_s gamma. The relevant quantity is the spectrum of the light-cone component of the final state hadronic momentum, which in B -> X_s gamma is the photon energy while in B -> X_u l nu_l this requires a measurement of both hadronic energy and hadronic invariant mass. The non-perturbative contributions at tree level to these distributions are identical and may be cancelled by taking the ratio of the spectra. Radiative corrections to this comparison are discussed to order alpha_s and are combined with the non-perturbative contributions.

description: Background: The emergence of social media is providing an alternative avenue for information exchange and opinion formation on health-related issues. Collective discourse in such media leads to the formation of a complex narrative, conveying public views and perceptions. Objective: This paper presents a study of Twitter narrative regarding vaccination in the aftermath of the 2015 measles outbreak, both in terms of its cyber and physical characteristics. We aimed to contribute to the analysis of the data, as well as presenting a quantitative interdisciplinary approach to analyze such open-source data in the context of health narratives. Methods: We collected 669,136 tweets referring to vaccination from February 1 to March 9, 2015. These tweets were analyzed to identify key terms, connections among such terms, retweet patterns, the structure of the narrative, and connections to the geographical space. Results: The data analysis captures the anatomy of the themes and relations that make up the discussion about vaccination in Twitter. The results highlight the higher impact of stories contributed by news organizations compared to direct tweets by health organizations in communicating health-related information. They also capture the structure of the antivaccination narrative and its terms of reference. Analysis also revealed the relationship between community engagement in Twitter and state policies regarding child vaccination. Residents of Vermont and Oregon, the two states with the highest rates of non-medical exemption from school-entry vaccines nationwide, are leading the social media discussion in terms of participation. Conclusions: The interdisciplinary study of health-related debates in social media across the cyber-physical debate nexus leads to a greater understanding of public concerns, views, and responses to health-related issues. Further coalescing such capabilities shows promise towards advancing health communication, thus supporting the design of more effective strategies that take into account the complex and evolving public views of health issues.
Slave-particle quantization and sum rules in the t-J model

description: In the framework of constrained systems, we give the classical Hamiltonian formulation of slave-particle models and their correct quantization. The electron-momentum distribution function in the t-J and Hubbard models is then studied in the framework of slave-particle approaches and within the decoupling scheme. We show that criticisms that have been addressed in this context coming from a violation of the sum rule for the physical electron are not valid. Due to the correct quantization rules for the slave-particles, the sum rule for the physical electron is indeed obeyed, both exactly and within the decoupling scheme.

description: Comparing collision systems of different size, at near the same collision energy, offers us the opportunity to probe the scaling behavior and therefore the nature of the system itself. Recently, we made predictions for Xe-Xe collisions at 5.44 TeV using viscous hydrodynamic simulations, noting that the scaling from the larger Pb-Pb system is rather generic, and arguing that robust predictions can be made that do not depend on details of the model. Here we confront our predictions with measurements that were subsequently made in a short Xe-Xe run at the LHC by the ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS collaborations. We find that the predictions are largely confirmed. Of particular interest is a strong indication of a non-spherical shape for the $^{129}$Xe nucleus.

Inference and Optimization over Networks: Communication Efficiency and Optimality

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 90699 Electrical and Electronic Engineering not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: We study distributed inference, learning and optimization in scenarios which involve networked entities in
time-varying and random networks, which are ad-hoc in nature. In this thesis, we propose distributed recursive
algorithms where the networked entities simultaneously incorporate locally sensed information and
information obtained from the neighborhood. The class of distributed algorithms proposed in this thesis
encompasses distributed estimation, distributed composite hypothesis testing and distributed optimization.
The central theme of the scenarios considered involve systems constrained by limited on board batteries
and hence constrained by limited sensing, computation and extremely limited communication resources.
A typical example of such resource constrained scenarios being distributed data-parallel machine learning
systems, in which the individual entities are commodity devices such as cellphones.
Due to the inherent ad-hoc nature of the aforementioned setups, in conjunction with random environments
render these setups central coordinator-less. Keeping in mind the resource constrained nature of such setups,
we propose distributed inference and optimization algorithms which characterize the interplay between
communication, computation and optimality, while allowing for heterogeneity among clients in terms of objectives,
data collection and statistical dependencies.
With massive data, models for learning and optimization have been getting more and more complex to the
extent of being almost analytically intractable. In such models, obtaining gradients for the associated loss
function is very expensive and potentially intractable due to the lack of a closed form for the loss function.
A major thrust of this thesis is gradient free zeroth order optimization which encompasses distributed setups
which exhibit data parallelism and also potentially analytically intractable loss functions. On top of
gradient free optimization, in this thesis we also study projection free zeroth order methods for constrained
optimization.
The techniques developed in this thesis are generic and are of independent interest in classical fields such as
stochastic approximation, statistical decision theory and optimization.

description: Many angiosperm families are distributed pantropically, yet for any given continent little is known about which lineages are ancient residents or recent arrivals. Here we use a comprehensive sampling of the pantropical sister pair Anacardiaceae and Burseraceae to assess the relative importance of continental vicariance, long-distance dispersal and niche-conservatism in generating its distinctive pattern of diversity over time. Each family has approximately the same number of species and identical stem age, yet Anacardiaceae display a broader range of fruit morphologies and dispersal strategies and include species that can withstand freezing temperatures, whereas Burseraceae do not. We found that nuclear and chloroplast data yielded a highly supported phylogenetic reconstruction that supports current taxonomic concepts and time-calibrated biogeographic reconstructions that are broadly congruent with the fossil record. We conclude that the most recent common ancestor of these families was widespread and likely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere during the Cretaceous and that vicariance between Eastern and Western Hemispheres coincided with the initial divergence of the families. The tempo of diversification of the families is strikingly different. Anacardiaceae steadily accumulated lineages starting in the Late Cretaceous–Paleocene while the majority of Burseraceae diversification occurred in the Miocene. Multiple dispersal- and vicariance-based intercontinental colonization events are inferred for both families throughout the past 100 million years. However, Anacardiaceae have shifted climatic niches frequently during this time, while Burseraceae have experienced very few shifts between dry and wet climates and only in the tropics. Thus, we conclude that both Anacardiaceae and Burseraceae move easily but that Anacardiaceae have adapted more often, either due to more varied selective pressures or greater intrinsic lability.
title: Green Care: A Review of the Benefits and Potential of Animal-Assisted Care Farming Globally and in Rural America
Creators: name: Artz, Brianna

Publisher: name: Animals
Year: 2017

description: The term Green Care includes therapeutic, social or educational interventions involving farming; farm animals; gardening or general contact with nature. Although Green Care can occur in any setting in which there is interaction with plants or animals, this review focuses on therapeutic practices occurring on farms. The efficacy of care farming is discussed and the broad utilization of care farming and farm care communities in Europe is reviewed. Though evidence from care farms in the United States is included in this review, the empirical evidence which could determine its efficacy is lacking. For example, the empirical evidence supporting or refuting the efficacy of therapeutic horseback riding in adults is minimal, while there is little non-equine care farming literature with children. The health care systems in Europe are also much different than those in the United States. In order for insurance companies to cover Green Care techniques in the United States, extensive research is necessary. This paper proposes community-based ways that Green Care methods can be utilized without insurance in the United States. Though Green Care can certainly be provided in urban areas, this paper focuses on ways rural areas can utilize existing farms to benefit the mental and physical health of their communities.

description: The top quark cross section close to threshold in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is computed including the summation of logarithms of the velocity at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order in QCD. The remaining theoretical uncertainty in the normalization of the total cross section is at the few percent level, an order of magnitude smaller than in previous next-to-next-to-leading order calculations. This uncertainty is smaller than the effects of a light standard model Higgs boson.

Electrically Activated Stiffness-Switching with Low-Melting-Point Conductive Thermoplastics

description: As technology becomes more integrated into our daily lives, the need for machines that can safely and comfortably interact with the human body has grown. While the rigidity of traditional robotic materials, such as metals and plastics, can provide mechanical and electrical stability to these devices, it can also reduce safety and comfort when placed in contact with soft human tissue. In recent years, these issues have been addressed by incorporating compliant materials, like liquids or soft polymers, into wearable or biomedical devices. However, these materials, by virtue of their softness, cannot support the high loads required for operations like stabilization or gripping. To address this apparent trade-off between load-bearing stiffness and conformable softness, several groups have constructed stiffness-tuning devices, capable of alternating between a high-stiffness state and a low-stiffness state. Although there exist a wide variety of mechanisms by which we can achieve this switching behavior, thermally activated phase change provides the highest stiffness ratio between the soft and stiff states. In this work, use low-melting point conductive thermoplastics to create electrically activated stiffness-switching devices. When a voltage is applied across this thermoplastic, the resulting electric current causes the polymer to heat and melt. This phase change corresponds to an effective stiffness change.
In the first study, we introduce a novel stiffness switch layout that employs liquid metal as compliant electrodes oriented across the face of a conductive thermoplastic. This new layout results in an 80% decrease in required voltage, a 60% decrease in activation time, and the ability to switch the stiffness of arbitrary geometries.
In the second study, we examine the effects of the composition of a conductive thermoplastic composite on its stiffness-switching properties, and use these findings can help guide the design of stiffness-switching composites for a three soft robotic applications.

description: The Das-Mathur-Okubo (DMO) sum rule for the polarizability of charged pions is evaluated for the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model Lagrangian in both its minimal and extended forms. A comparison is made with the results obtained using the same sum rule from chiral perturbation theory (CHPT), approximate QCD sum rule calculations, explicit calculations on the lattice by Wilcox, and using the semi-empirical Kapusta-Shuryak spectral densities. The $χ$PT results from Compton scattering are also given. We point to a delicate cancellation between the intrinsic and recoil contributions to $α_{π^\pm}$ in the DMO sum rule approach that can lead to calculated polarizabilities of either sign.

description: The radiative capture process n+p-> d+gamma provides clear evidence for meson exchange currents in nuclear physics. We compute this process at low energies using a recently developed power counting for the effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interactions. The leading order contribution to this process comes from the photon coupling to the nucleon magnetic moments. At subleading order there are other contributions. Among these are graphs where the photon couples directly to pions, i.e. meson exchange currents. These diagrams are divergent and require the presence of a local four-nucleon-one photon counterterm. The coefficient of this operator is determined by the measured cross section, 334.2 +- 0.5 mb, for incident neutrons with speed |v|=2200 m/s.

description: Environmental factors play a significant role in well-being of laboratory animals. Regulations and guidelines recommend, if not require, that stressors such as bright lighting, smells, and noises are eliminated or reduced to maximize animal well-being. A factor that is often overlooked is handling and how researchers interact with their animals. Researchers, lab assistants, and husbandry staff in animal facilities may use inconsistent handling methods when interacting with rodents, but humans should be considered a part of the animal’s social environment. This study examined the effects of different handling techniques on depressive-like behavior, measured by the Porsolt forced swim test, in adult C57BL/6J male mice. The same two researchers handled the mice in a gentle, aggressive, or minimal (control) fashion over approximately two weeks prior to testing. The results demonstrated a beneficial effect of gentle handling: gentle handling reduced swimming immobility in the forced swim test compared to mice that were aggressively or minimally handled. We argue that gentle handling, rather than methodical handling, can foster a better relationship between the handlers and rodents. Although handling is not standardized across labs, consistent gentle handling allows for less challenging behavioral testing, better data collection, and overall improved animal welfare.

description: Australian women's success in international sport has been nothing short of astonishing when you consider the encouragement, resources, facilities and sponsorship directed elsewhere. Women have won the most prestigious titles in the world, including Wimbledon, the USA Open Golf Championship and the British Squash Championship. Women's teams have been the world champions in netball, hockey, cricket, softball, lacrosse and waterpolo. Australian women's names have been etched in the record books of sport throughout the world. At the Commonwealth and Olympic Games generations of Australian women have crowded the victory dais. Over the years 940 women have represented their country at all the Games, winning an incredible 425 medals — 163 of them gold medals. But after the golden girl hype has died down and the gold dust has settled, women's sport is ultimately awarded a bronze medal in our national identity, a cultural third place behind sportsmen and racehorses.

description: Aging is associated with an increase in a chronic, low-grade inflammation. This phenomenon, termed “inflammaging” is also a risk factor for both morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Frequent co-occurrence of chronic diseases, known as multi-morbidity, may be explained by interconnected pathophysiology of these conditions, most of which depend on its inflammatory component. Here we present an analysis of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data collected between 1999 and 2008, for the presence, and the number, of chronic diseases along with HDL-cholesterol, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, lymphocyte percent, monocyte percent, segmented neutrophils percent, eosinophils percent, basophils percent, and glycohemoglobin levels. Importantly, even after adjustment for age and BMI, many inflammatory markers continued to be associated to multi-morbidity. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) were most dramatically increased in parallel with an accumulation of chronic diseases, and may be utilized as multi-morbidity predictors. These observations point at background inflammation as direct, age-independent contributor to an accumulation of the disease burden. Our findings also suggest a possibility that systemic inflammation associated with chronic diseases may explain accelerated aging phenomenon previously observed among the patients with heavy disease burden.
Superfluid anisotropy in YBCO: Evidence for pair tunneling superconductivity

description: Proximity effect and pair tunneling models are applied as alternative scenarios to explain the recently measured $ab$-plane and $c$-axis components of the superfluid tensor in Copper-Oxide superconductors which contain chains, such as $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.95}$. It is argued that conventional proximity effect models, which couple chains and planes via single electron tunneling only, are incompatible with the experimental observations. On the other hand several surprising features of the experimental data are readily explained by the presence of a microscopic pair tunneling process.
