description: We investigate Schwinger pair production in spatially inhomogeneous electric backgrounds. A critical point for the onset of pair production can be approached by fields that marginally provide sufficient electrostatic energy for an off-shell long-range electron-positron fluctuation to become a real pair. Close to this critical point, we observe features of universality which are analogous to continuous phase transitions in critical phenomena with the pair-production rate serving as an order parameter: electric backgrounds can be subdivided into universality classes and the onset of pair production exhibits characteristic scaling laws. An appropriate design of the electric background field can interpolate between power-law scaling, essential BKT-type scaling and a power-law scaling with log corrections. The corresponding critical exponents only depend on the large-scale features of the electric background, whereas the microscopic details of the background play the role of irrelevant perturbations not affecting criticality.

description: Arnold (2005), Forgan (2013), and Korpela et al. (2015) noted that planet-sized artificial structures could be discovered with Kepler as they transit their host star. We present a general discussion of transiting megastructures, and enumerate ten potential ways their anomalous silhouettes, orbits, and transmission properties would distinguish them from exoplanets. We also enumerate the natural sources of such signatures. Several anomalous objects, such as KIC 12557548 and CoRoT-29, have variability in depth consistent with Arnold's prediction and/or an asymmetric shape consistent with Forgan's model. Since well motivated physical models have so far provided natural explanations for these signals, the ETI hypothesis is not warranted for these objects, but they still serve as useful examples of how nonstandard transit signatures might be identified and interpreted in a SETI context. Boyajian et al. 2015 recently announced KIC 8462852, an object with a bizarre light curve consistent with a "swarm" of megastructures. We suggest this is an outstanding SETI target. We develop the normalized information content statistic $M$ to quantify the information content in a signal embedded in a discrete series of bounded measurements, such as variable transit depths, and show that it can be used to distinguish among constant sources, interstellar beacons, and naturally stochastic or artificial, information-rich signals. We apply this formalism to KIC 12557548 and a specific form of beacon suggested by Arnold to illustrate its utility.

description: Trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) are among the most prevalent autosomal trisomies. Both are associated with a very high risk of mortality. Numerous instances, however, of long-term survival of children with T13 or T18 have prompted some clinicians to pursue aggressive treatment instead of the traditional approach of palliative care. The purpose of this study is to assess current mortality data for these conditions. This multi-state, population-based study examined data obtained from birth defect surveillance programs in nine states on live-born infants delivered during 1999–2007 with T13 or T18. Information on children’s vital status and selected maternal and infant risk factors were obtained using matched birth and death certificates and other data sources. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate age-specific survival probabilities and predictors of survival up to age five. There were 693 children with T13 and 1,113 children with T18 identified from the participating states. Among children with T13, 5-year survival was 9.7%; among children with T18, it was 12.3%. For both trisomies, gestational age was the strongest predictor of mortality. Females and children of non-Hispanic black mothers had the lowest mortality. Omphalocele and congenital heart defects were associated with an increased risk of death for children with T18 but not T13. This study found survival among children with T13 and T18 to be somewhat higher than those previously reported in the literature, consistent with recent studies reporting improved survival following more aggressive medical intervention for these children.

ACCURACY OF SPLINT VS SPLINTLESS TECHNIQUE FOR VIRTUALLY PLANNED ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY: A VOXEL BASED THREE-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Creators: name: KARANXHA, LORENA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: Virtual planning in orthognathic surgery has nowadays become a clinical reality and has introduced important advantages in terms of accuracy and planning duration when compared to conventional surgical planning. One of the main concerns regarding virtual planning is the method that is used to transfer the virtual surgical plan into the operation theater. With the many transferring methods proposed, the evidence is confusion regarding the accuracy of each of these methods for reliably transferring the virtual plan. Furthermore, the accuracy analysis itself, has been performed with numerous techniques and not all of them are capable of producing reliable results on the accuracy of different transferring methods. The purpose of this study is to compare two transferring methods, the CAD/CAM intermediate splint and the customized surgical guide with fixation plates, by means of a voxel-based landmark free accuracy analysis.

description: We investigate a number of complex patterns driven by the electro-convection instability in a planarly aligned layer of a nematic liquid crystal. They are traced back to various secondary instabilities of the ideal roll patterns bifurcating at onset of convection, whereby the basic nemato-hydrodynamic equations are solved by common Galerkin expansion methods. Alternatively these equations are systematically approximated by a set of coupled amplitude equations. They describe slow modulations of the convection roll amplitudes, which are coupled to a flow field component with finite vorticity perpendicular to the layer and to a quasi-homogeneous in-plane rotation of the director. It is demonstrated that the Galerkin stability diagram of the convection rolls is well reproduced by the corresponding one based on the amplitude equations. The main purpose of the paper is, however, to demonstrate that their direct numerical simulations match surprisingly well new experiments, which serves as a convincing test of our theoretical approach.

description: We performed whole-genome sequencing on an individual from a family with variable psychiatric phenotypes that had a sensory processing disorder, apraxia, and autism. The proband harbored a maternally inherited balanced translocation (46,XY,t(11;14)(p12;p12)mat) that disrupted LRRC4C, a member of the highly specialized netrin G family of axon guidance molecules. The proband also inherited a paternally derived chromosomal inversion that disrupted DPP6, a potassium channel interacting protein. Copy Number (CN) analysis in 14,077 cases with neurodevelopmental disorders and 8,960 control subjects revealed that 60% of cases with exonic deletions in LRRC4C had a second clinically recognizable syndrome associated with variable clinical phenotypes, including 16p11.2, 1q44, and 2q33.1 CN syndromes, suggesting LRRC4C deletion variants may be modifiers of neurodevelopmental disorders. In vitro, functional assessments modeling patient deletions in LRRC4C suggest a negative regulatory role of these exons found in the untranslated region of LRRC4C, which has a single, terminal coding exon. These data suggest that the proband’s autism may be due to the inheritance of disruptions in both DPP6 and LRRC4C, and may highlight the importance of the netrin G family and potassium channel interacting molecules in neurodevelopmental disorders.

description: Poynting vector as electromagnetic power flow has prevailed over one hundred years in the community. However in this paper, it is shown from Maxwell equations that the Poynting vector may not represent the electromagnetic power flow for a plane wave in a non-dispersive, lossless, non-conducting, anisotropic uniform medium; this important conclusion revises the conventional understanding of Poynting vector. It is also shown that this conclusion is clearly supported by Fermat's principle and special theory of relativity.

description: Although generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is heritable and aggregates in families, no genomic loci associated with GAD have been reported. We aimed to discover potential loci by conducting a genome-wide analysis of GAD symptoms in a large, population-based sample of Hispanic/Latino adults. Data came from 12,282 participants (aged 18–74) in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Using a shorted Spielberger Trait Anxiety measure, we analyzed: (1) a total trait anxiety score based on summing responses to all ten items; and (2) a GAD symptoms score restricted to the three items tapping diagnostic features of GAD as defined by DSM-V. We first calculated the heritability due to common variants (h2SNP) and then conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of GAD symptoms. Replication was attempted in three independent Hispanic cohorts (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, Women’s Health Initiative, Army STARRS). The GAD symptoms score showed evidence of modest heritability (7.2%; p=0.03), while the total trait anxiety score did not (4.97%; p=0.20). One genotyped SNP (rs78602344) intronic to Thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) was nominally associated (p=4.18×10−8) in the primary analysis adjusting for psychiatric medication use and significantly associated with the GAD symptoms score in the analysis excluding medication users (p=4.18×10−8). However, meta-analysis of the replication samples did not support this association. Although GWAS revealed a genome-wide significant locus in this sample, we were unable to replicate this finding. Evidence for heritability was also only detected for GAD symptoms, and not the trait anxiety measure, suggesting differential genetic influences within the domain of trait anxiety.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) has the strategic priority of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), that means "all people receive quality health services that meet their needs without being exposed to financial hardship in paying for the services". UHC includes rehabilitation among the services to be provided. As part of the WHO Rehabilitation 2030 call for action, the WHO Rehabilitation Programme is developing its Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation (PIR) (formerly “Package of Rehabilitation Interventions (PRI)”) to support ministries of health in integrating rehabilitation services into health systems. The development of the PIR takes a stepwise approach3 using six steps. Step one was to select the health conditions. The second step requires the identification of interventions for rehabilitation and related evidence for the health conditions selected in the first step. Afterwards there will be a selection of evidence-based rehabilitation interventions (step 3), description of equipment and workforce required for interventions (step 4), standardization of information on rehabilitation interventions (step 5) and finally production of Alpha Version of the PIR (step 6). In this article, we performed the second step, here referred to as “Best Evidence for Rehabilitation” (be4rehab), identification of interventions for rehabilitation and related evidence. The WHO Rehabilitation Programme and Cochrane Rehabilitation have developed the corresponding methods under the guidance of WHO’s guideline review committee secretariat and are collaborating in conducting this second step. Be4rehab includes a series of systematic reviews on Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for the different health conditions. Interventions and related evidence are identified from these CPGs. The identified interventions will undergo a consensus process before being included in the final PIR. The WHO requested to identify interventions for rehabilitation and related evidence and interventions from high quality CPGs related to individuals with amputation. The main objective of this article is to report on the results of the systematic search performed to identify interventions and related evidence for rehabilitation of individuals with amputation based on the current evidence from CPGs.
Synthesis and electrochemical investigation of cluster assembled carbon thin films

description: Nanostructured materials grown by the deposition of clusters with low kinetic energy are unique systems that preserve the original size dependent features of their building blocks. As porous materials with high surface to volume ratio they have a tremendous technological potential toward the development of green, cheap and efficient energy storage and harvesting systems, including carbon based supercapacitors. This thesis is devoted to the synthesis and electrochemical investigation of nanostructured carbon (ns-C) thin films and composites grown by the Supersonic Cluster Beam Deposition (SCBD) of clusters formed in a Pulsed Microplasma Cluster Source (PMCS). The electrochemical properties of cluster assembled thin films are assessed by the study of the electric double layer (EDL) formed at the interface between ns-C based electrodes and a liquid electrolyte. Ns-C behavior as electrode material has been characterized as function of thickness, post deposition thermal treatment, metal nanoparticles embedding and electrolyte type. This study is carried out by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Our results establish the feasibility of the SCBD technique for the synthesis of nanostructured carbon and metal:carbon nanocomposite thin films with promising potential as porous material for thin film electrochemical energy storage.

description: Risk of schizophrenia is conferred by alleles occurring across the full spectrum of frequencies from common SNPs of weak effect through to ultra rare alleles, some of which may be moderately to highly penetrant. Previous studies have suggested that some of the risk of schizophrenia is attributable to uncommon alleles represented on Illumina exome arrays. Here, we present the largest study of exomic variation in schizophrenia to date, using samples from the United Kingdom and Sweden (10,011 schizophrenia cases and 13,791 controls). Single variants, genes, and gene sets were analyzed for association with schizophrenia. No single variant or gene reached genome‐wide significance. Among candidate gene sets, we found significant enrichment for rare alleles (minor allele frequency [MAF] < 0.001) in genes intolerant of loss‐of‐function (LoF) variation and in genes whose messenger RNAs bind to fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). We further delineate the genetic architecture of schizophrenia by excluding a role for uncommon exomic variants (0.01 ≤ MAF ≥ 0.001) that confer a relatively large effect (odds ratio [OR] > 4). We also show risk alleles within this frequency range exist, but confer smaller effects and should be identified by larger studies.

description: Prostate cancer is a sizeable threat to the health and well-being of men living in the United States, and African American men suffer at a disproportionately higher rate compared with their Caucasian counterparts (American Cancer Society, 2014). Prostate cancer occurs most frequently in older men, but it occurs at an earlier age in African Americans; the differences in tumor type and disease aggressiveness or progression between Caucasian and African American men may drive the disparity (Powell, Bock, Ruterbusch, & Sakr, 2010; Roberts, 2014). Education is important in bringing people into the cancer care continuum, which begins with prevention and screening. Participatory approaches to educating individuals and communities about prostate cancer and informed decision making (IDM) about screening may be an important step in addressing cancer disparities.

description: (abridged) Context: Both observations and simulations of embedded protostars have progressed rapidly in recent years. Bringing them together is an important step in advancing our knowledge about the earliest phases of star formation. Aims: To compare synthetic continuum images and SEDs, calculated from large-scale numerical simulations, to observational studies, thereby aiding in both the interpretation of the observations and in testing the fidelity of the simulations. Methods: The radiative transfer code RADMC-3D is used to create synthetic continuum images and SEDs of protostellar systems in a large numerical simulation of a molecular cloud. More than 13000 unique radiative transfer models are produced of a variety of different protostellar systems. Results: Over the course of 0.76 Myr the simulation forms more than 500 protostars, primarily within two sub-clusters. Synthetic SEDs are used to the calculate evolutionary tracers Tbol and Lsmm/Lbol. It is shown that, while the observed distributions of the tracers are well matched by the simulation, they generally do a poor job of tracking the protostellar ages. Disks form early in the simulation, with 40 % of the Class 0 protostars being encircled by one. The flux emission from the simulated disks is found to be, on average, a factor of 6 too low relative to real observations. The distribution of protostellar luminosities spans more than three order of magnitudes, similar to the observed distribution. Cores and protostars are found to be closely associated with one another, with the distance distribution between them being in excellent agreement with observations. Conclusions: The analysis and statistical comparison of synthetic observations to real ones is established as a powerful tool in the interpretation of observational results.

On Dedicated CDCL Strategies for PB Solvers Companion Artifact
Creators: name: Le Berre, Daniel
name: Wallon, Romain
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Current implementations of pseudo-Boolean (PB) solvers working on native PB constraints are based on the CDCL architecture which empowers highly efficient modern SAT solvers. In particular, such PB solvers not only implement a (cutting-planes-based) conflict analysis procedure, but also complementary strategies for components that are crucial for the efficiency of CDCL, namely branching heuristics, learned constraint deletion and restarts. However, these strategies are mostly reused by PB solvers without considering the particular form of the PB constraints they deal with. In this artifact, we evaluate different ways of adapting CDCL strategies to take the specificities of PB constraints into account while preserving the behavior they have in the clausal setting. We implemented these strategies in two different solvers, namely *Sat4j* (for which we consider three configurations) and *RoundingSat*. Our experiments show that these dedicated strategies allow to improve, sometimes significantly, the performance of these solvers, both on decision and optimization problems.

description: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), an innovative treatment option for prostate cancer, has rapidly diffused over the past decade. To inform our understanding of racial disparities in prostate cancer treatment and outcomes, this study compared diffusion of IMRT in African American (AA) and Caucasian American (CA) prostate cancer patients during the early years of IMRT diffusion using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)–Medicare linked database. A retrospective cohort of 947 AA and 10,028 CA patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer from 2002 through 2006, who were treated with either IMRT or non-IMRT as primary treatment within 1 year of diagnoses was constructed. Logistic regression was used to examine potential differences in diffusion of IMRT in AA and CA patients, while adjusting for socioeconomic and clinical covariates. A significantly smaller proportion of AA compared with CA patients received IMRT for localized prostate cancer (45% vs. 53%, p < .0001). Racial differences were apparent in multivariable analysis though did not achieve statistical significance, as time and factors associated with race (socioeconomic, geographic, and tumor related factors) explained the preponderance of variance in use of IMRT. Further research examining improved access to innovative cancer treatment and technologies is essential to reducing racial disparities in cancer care.

description: High order discretization schemes of SDEs by using free Lie algebra valued random variables are introduced by Kusuoka, Lyons-Victoir, Ninomiya-Victoir and Ninomiya-Ninomiya. These schemes are called KLNV methods. They involve solving the flows of vector fields associated with SDEs and it is usually done by numerical methods. The authors found a special Lie algebraic structure on the vector fields in the major financial diffusion models. Using this structure, we can solve the flows associated with vector fields analytically and efficiently. Numerical examples show that our method saves the computation time drastically.

description: Cancer patients, who have undergone surgical treatment, after the stabilization of the COVID-19 pandemic, have a greater complexity of repercussions, in the different dimensions of their lives. Therefore, they need an interprofessional team to achieve their rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the national and international scientific evidence on the interprofessional team for the surgical rehabilitation of cancer patients; and establish recommendations for the formation of an interprofessional team, in the tertiary health context. This is an Integrative Review, based on Evidence-Based Practice, which will be carried out in six stages: identification of the theme and selection of the research question; establishing criteria for inclusion and exclusion; sample categorization; evaluation of the integrative review sample; interpretation of results and synthesis of knowledge of the main results evidenced in the analysis. The research question was established: “What is the scientific evidence on care elements and elements for the formation of the interprofessional team regarding the surgical rehabilitation of cancer patients?”. Searches will be carried out in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Information Literature (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SciVerse Scopus, Web of Science (WOS) and National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PUBMED), according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data to be collected from the sample will be identification of the scientific article, methodological characteristics, evaluation of methodological rigor and the results, which will be analyzed, descriptively, to establish recommendations for the formation of this team, in the tertiary context.

description: The objective of this study is to use existing cross-national data to investigate whether there are homogeneous population segments in European countries with respect to individual values, beliefs and attitudes to climate change. A number of studies were able to discern such segments, however, they were mostly limited to a single country. Here we use cross-national data to investigate whether homogeneous audiences can be identified across European countries and whether these can be used to predict distal outcomes such as energy-saving behaviour and support for environmental policies.

description: Immigrant Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) are marginalized along multiple dimensions (e.g., ethnicity, sexual orientation, language use), which can negatively affect their health and well-being. As little is known about how this subgroup experiences the stress of marginalization and how, in turn, they cope with such stress, this study investigated stressors and coping strategies to better understand the factors shaping Latino MSM health. Assisted by a community advisory committee, we conducted in-depth interviews with 15 foreign-born Latino MSM in a nontraditional settlement state. Drawing on grounded theory methods, we analyzed transcripts iteratively to identify processes and characterize themes. Results were confirmed in member check interviews (n = 4) and findings were further contextualized through key informant interviews (n = 3). Participants reported ubiquitous, concurrent stressors due to being an immigrant, being a sexual minority, and being working poor. In particular, homophobia within families and local Latino communities was seen as pervasive. Some participants faced additional stressors due to being undocumented and not being Mexican. Participants drew on four types of coping strategies, with no dominant coping response: passive coping (i.e., not reacting to stressors); attempting to change stressors; seeking social support; and seeking distractions. Family ties, especially with mothers, provided key emotional support but could also generate stress related to participants’ sexuality. This study lays a foundation for future work and is particularly relevant for Latino MSM in nontraditional settlement states. Findings may inform future interventions to reduce stressors and increase resiliency, which can positively affect multiple health outcomes.

description: We define the generalized hypergeometric polynomial of degree N in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function that depends on p parameters a_1, ..., a_p and q parameters b_1, ..., b_q. The parameters are "generic", possibly complex, numbers. In this paper we obtain a set of N nonlinear algebraic equations satisfied by the N zeros z_n of this polynomial. We moreover manufacture an NxN matrix L in terms of the 1+p+q parameters N, a_j, b_k characterizing this polynomial, and of its N zeros z_n. We show that the matrix L features N eigenvalues that depend only on the q parameters b_k, implying that this matrix is isospectral for the variations of the p parameters a_j. These eigenvalues are integer (or rational) numbers if the q parameters b_k are themselves integer (or rational) numbers: a nontrivial diophantine property.
