description: A 27-year-old woman presented with generalized dystonia that began at age 15 years as dystonic posturing of the right hand when writing. She was diagnosed with cervical dystonia and botulinum toxin injections were tried, providing minimal pain relief and no improvement of the dystonia. The cervical dystonia was partially responsive to sensory tricks. She was most bothered by her cervical dystonia, and disability was 6 on Part II of the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS).
On examination, she had increased rate of eye blinking and occasional spasms involving the lower face, mouth, and jaw, and mild dysarthria. Severe right torticollis and an intermittent head tremor were present. Dystonic posturing of the right upper extremity and increased handgrip were observed while writing. Mild left foot inversion was present while walking. The Fahn-Marsden Scale score was 16, and TWSTRS Part I score was 20. A trial of carbidopa/levodopa did not provide benefit.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery targeting the globus pallidus internus (GPi) was performed, resulting in moderate improvement 1 month after the procedure, prior to initial programming (TWSTRS Part I = 18, Fahn-Marsden = 8.5). She experienced further benefit 2 months after initial programming (TWSTRS Part I = 13, Fahn-Marsden = 3). Whole-exome sequencing revealed a frameshift mutation, confirmed as a novel 2–base pair deletion mutation in exon 3 of the THAP1 gene (heterozygous exon 3 c.377_378delCT, p.Pro126Args*2) via full sequencing analysis of DYT6.

description: Annual rainfall distribution in tropical America depends on the ITC zone, affected by factors such as Andes Mountain, tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and local convergence areas. Studies have showed correlation between the ENSO Phases and hydrologic anomalies in the region. In Venezuela ENSO effects are reflected as climatic anomalies with magnitudes varying within the areas. This paper deals with the study of the effects of El Niño phenomena on the climatic variables in Venezuela. Variables affected directly by El Niño are rainfall, temperature and flows. Indirectly consequences are associated with an increase of diseases such Malaria, Dengue and Cholera. ENSO phenomena create anomalies in Hadley cells over Venezuela originating negative anomalies for rainfall during El Niño years and positive rainfall anomalies during La Niña events. Results of correlations between this anomalies and SSTA-3/4 have show negative rainfall anomalies between 8 and 20 % and positive anomalies of 14 to 30 %, depending on the region. About 85 % of ENSO years coincide with rainfall deficits bigger than 35 %. Temperature values are less sensitive to the occurrence of El Niño, varying the magnitude of the anomalies between 0.5 °C to 1 °C, high enough to increase the transmission of Dengue in a rate of 100 %. Malaria mortality and mobility increases in 37 % the year after an El Niño event. The relationship between ENSO 3/4 Indices and flow anomalies of Caroní River shows that the join occurrence of atmospheric and oceanic events exercise the biggest influence on the occurrence of flow anomalies in this basin. During the cold El Niño period in the Pacific (La Niña) flows in Caroni basin diminish affecting the storage and level of operation of Guri reservoir and the production of hydro electrical energy. In fact, 12 from the 15 El Niño events that happened during the analyzed period of flows (1950-2004) coincide with years in which mean annual flow is far smaller than the historical mean.

description: We introduce a jet shape observable defined for an ensemble of jets in terms of two-particle angular correlations and a resolution parameter R. This quantity is infrared and collinear safe and can be interpreted as a scaling exponent for the angular distribution of mass inside the jet. For small R it is close to the value 2 as a consequence of the approximately scale invariant QCD dynamics. For large R it is sensitive to non-perturbative effects. We describe the use of this correlation function for tests of QCD, for studying underlying event and pile-up effects, and for tuning Monte Carlo event generators.

description: Deep brain stimulation therapy is an effective symptomatic treatment for Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise mechanisms responsible for its therapeutic effects remain unclear. Although the targets of deep brain stimulation are grey matter structures, axonal modulation is known to play an important role in deep brain stimulation’s therapeutic mechanism. Several white matter structures in proximity to the subthalamic nucleus have been implicated in the clinical benefits of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease. We assessed the connectivity patterns that characterize clinically beneficial electrodes in Parkinson’s disease patients, after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. We evaluated 22 patients with Parkinson’s disease (11 females, age 57 ± 9.1 years, disease duration 13.3 ± 6.3 years) who received bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus at the National Institutes of Health. During an initial electrode screening session, one month after deep brain stimulation implantation, the clinical benefits of each contact were determined. The electrode was localized by coregistering preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and postoperative computer tomography images and the volume of tissue activated was estimated from stimulation voltage and impedance. Brain connectivity for the volume of tissue activated of deep brain stimulation contacts was assessed using probabilistic tractography with diffusion-tensor data. Areas most frequently connected to clinically effective contacts included the thalamus, substantia nigra, brainstem and superior frontal gyrus. A series of discriminant analyses demonstrated that the strength of connectivity to the superior frontal gyrus and the thalamus were positively associated with clinical effectiveness. The connectivity patterns observed in our study suggest that the modulation of white matter tracts directed to the superior frontal gyrus and the thalamus is associated with favourable clinical outcomes and may contribute to the therapeutic effects of deep brain stimulation. Our method can be further developed to reliably identify effective deep brain stimulation contacts and aid in the programming process.

description: We present results from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS), a unique spectroscopic survey designed to explore the connection between galaxies and intergalactic baryons. The KBSS is optimized for the redshift range z ~ 2-3, combining S/N ~ 100 Keck/HIRES spectra of 15 hyperluminous QSOs with densely sampled galaxy redshift surveys surrounding each QSO sightline. We perform Voigt profile decomposition of all 6000 HI absorbers within the full Lya forest in the QSO spectra. Here we present the distribution, column density, kinematics, and absorber line widths of HI surrounding 886 star-forming galaxies with 2.0 < z < 2.8 and within 3 Mpc of a QSO sightline. We find that N_HI and the multiplicity of HI components increase rapidly near galaxies. The strongest HI absorbers within ~ 100 physical kpc of galaxies have N_HI ~ 3 dex higher than those near random locations in the IGM. The circumgalactic zone of most enhanced HI absorption (CGM) is found within 300 kpc and 300 km/s of galaxies. Nearly half of absorbers with log(N_HI) > 15.5 are found within the CGM of galaxies meeting our photometric selection, while their CGM occupy only 1.5% of the cosmic volume. The spatial covering fraction, multiplicity of absorption components, and characteristic N_HI remain elevated to transverse distances of 2 physical Mpc. Absorbers with log(N_HI) > 14.5 are tightly correlated with the positions of galaxies, while absorbers with lower N_HI are correlated only on Mpc scales. Redshift anisotropies on Mpc scales indicate coherent infall toward galaxies, while on scales of ~100 physical kpc peculiar velocities of 260 km/s are indicated. The median Doppler widths of absorbers within 1-3 virial radii of galaxies are ~50% larger than randomly chosen absorbers of the same N_HI, suggesting higher gas temperatures and/or increased turbulence likely caused by accretion shocks and/or galactic winds.

We consider that the two-color Ramsey numbers R(m, n; r) for r-uniform hypergraphs can be computed by using the similar ways in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 010501 (2012)]. In this comment, we show how the computation of R(m, n; r) can be mapped to a combinatorial optimization problem whose solution be found using adiabatic quantum evolution.

description: The focus of this paper is to develop a multivariate model for modeling the annual net basin supplies (NBS) of the Great Lakes. Not all NBS series show similar behavior. For example, a feature that is apparent in some but not all NBS series is a sudden shifting pattern. In this paper previous studies of univariate shifting mean models are expanded to develop multivariate contemporaneous shifting mean models. These multivariate models are further mixed with CARMA models in such a way, that the lag zero correlation in space is conserved between the underlying processes of the different models. The full contemporaneous shifting mean CARMA models are successfully applied for modeling jointly the whole Great Lakes system, preserving the spatial correlation at lag zero between different lakes, and preserving other important statistical characteristics of the individual lakes.

description: We report on our analysis of XMM-Newton observations of the Seyfert 2 galaxy ESO 138-G1 (z = 0.0091). These data reveal a complex spectrum in both its soft and hard portions. The 0.5-2 keV band is characterized by a strong 'soft-excess' component with several emission lines, as commonly observed in other narrow-line AGN. Above 3 keV, a power-law fit yields a very flat slope (Gamma ~0.35), along with the presence of a prominent line-like emission feature around ~6.4 keV. This indicates heavy obscuration along the line of sight to the nucleus. We find an excellent fit to the 3-10 keV continuum with a pure reflection model, which provides strong evidence of a Compton-thick screen, preventing direct detection of the intrinsic nuclear X-ray emission. Although a model consisting of a power law transmitted through an absorber with Nh ~2.5 x 10^{23} cm^-2 also provides a reasonable fit to the hard X-ray data, the equivalent width value of ~800 eV measured for the Fe Kalpha emission line is inconsistent with a primary continuum obscured by a Compton-thin column density. Furthermore, the ratio of 2-10 keV to de-reddened [OIII] fluxes for ESO 138-G1 agrees with the typical values reported for well-studied Compton-thick Seyfert galaxies. Finally, we also note that the upper limits to the 15-150 keV flux provided by Swift/BAT and INTEGRAL/IBIS seem to rule out the presence of a transmitted component of the nuclear continuum even in this very hard X-ray band, hence imply that the column density of the absorber could be as high as 10^{25} cm^-2. This makes ESO 138-G1 a very interesting, heavy Compton-thick AGN candidate for the next X-ray missions with spectroscopic and imaging capabilities above 10 keV.

description: This Brookings report discusses the theory and evidence relating to work-study to answer the question: Is the idea of work-study past its prime? Or might the program have a unique and valuable role to play in a modern “college completion and career readiness” agenda?

Judith Scott-Clayton argues that two recent trends in higher education provide the program with newfound relevance: first, an increasing recognition of behavioral and structural barriers to college persistence and completion (not just financial ones), which on-campus employment might help address; and second, the increasing importance of internships in the post-college job market, in combination with the fact that access to such internships is often unequal by family income. The available research on FWS, while not definitive, suggests that it improves both degree completion and the likelihood of employment after college, in part by replacing off-campus jobs with more academically compatible on-campus ones.
A microsphere based microfluidic check valve
Creators: name: Ou, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Biomedical applications of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology have sprung growth in the field of microfluidic systems and have been attracting much attention from scientific researchers and industry. Implantable drug delivery devices can deliver localized dosage which can reduce the side effects of medication. Such devices can maintain therapeutic concentrations of the drug over extended periods by providing small doses minimizing the risk of systemic toxicity. Recently, ocular drug delivery devices with micropumps using check valves have been demonstrated. The use of external magnetic actuation in a MEMS-based drug delivery device has been verified in reciprocating diaphragm micropumps. However, the magnetic diaphragm generates low pressures resulting in low flow rates (Re<1). This work investigates the use of polystyrene (PS) microspheres as resistive elements in a fluidic channel to create a check valve. The check valve takes advantage of the low profile microsphere and flow channel to rectify flow in low pressure and low flow applications. This makes the check valve ideal for thin planar reciprocating micropumps, which can be used as ocular drug delivery devices, with the conjunctival cul-de-sac being a possible site of implantation. The microspheres form a porous media which acts as variable fluid resistors based on the direction of flow, and also increases tortuosity in the check valve limiting diffusion from the device. Three check valve designs were characterized based on their flow rate and diodicity (ratio of flow in the forward and reverse direction). Pump performance, based on the check valves integrated in series with a deflecting diaphragm actuator, was investigated. Finally, a proof-of-concept diffusion study was conducted using docetaxel (DTX), a low aqueous solubility drug used to treat late stage proliferative retinopathy, as the sample drug to demonstrate the microsphere check valve’s ability to limit diffusion from the micropump.

description: The digital art landscape has rapidly expanded since the passing of Visual Rights Act of 1990 (Baron, 1996; CAA, 2013). With the recent advent of blockchain technologies, derived from Nakamoto’s Bitcoin currency, new possibilities have emerged for the way artistic materials can be exchanged and how communications can be conducted. This research examines emerging applications for decentralized blockchain technologies in community-based art projects and digital art startups¬. The work of three organizations, ConsenSys, Ethereum, and Monegraph, is explored. Through the use of blockchain technologies, digital artists can create a traceable and tradable record of their work, while generating a critical discourse around the reproducibility of media. In this research, I investigate the potential uses of digital art in the blockchain and its educational value in visual arts education.
Impact of grain size distributions on the dust enrichment in high-redshift quasars

description: In high-redshift ($z>5$) quasars, a large amount of dust ($\textstyle\sim 10^{8} \mathrm{M}_{\sun}$) has been observed. In order to explain the large dust content, we focus on a possibility that grain growth by the accretion of heavy elements is the dominant dust source. We adopt a chemical evolution model applicable to nearby galaxies but utilize parameters adequate to high-$z$ quasars. It is assumed that metals and dust are predominantly ejected by Type II supernovae (SNe). We have found that grain growth strongly depends on the grain size distribution. If we simply use the size distribution of grains ejected from SNe, grain growth is inefficient because of the lack of small grains (i.e.\ small surface-to-volume ratio of the dust grains). However, if we take small grain production by interstellar shattering into consideration, grain growth is efficient enough to account for the rich dust abundance in high-$z$ quasars. Our results not only confirm that grain growth is necessary to explain the large amount of dust in high-$z$ quasars, but also demonstrate that grain size distributions have a critical impact on grain growth.

description: We determine the non-linear hydrodynamic response to geometrical fluctuations in heavy ion collisions using ideal and viscous hydrodynamics. This response is characterized with a set of non-linear response coefficients that determine, for example, the $v_5$ that is produced by an $ε_2$ and an $ε_3$. We analyze how viscosity damps both the linear and non-linear response coefficients, and provide an analytical estimate that qualitatively explains most of the trends observed in more complete simulations. Subsequently, we use these nonlinear response coefficients to determine the linear and non-linear contributions to $v_1$, $v_4$ and $v_5$. For viscous hydrodynamics the nonlinear contribution is dominant for $v_4$, $v_5$ and higher harmonics. For $v_1$, the nonlinear response constitutes an important $\sim 25%$ correction in mid-central collisions. The nonlinear response is also analyzed as a function of transverse momentum for $v_1$, $v_4$ and $v_5$. Finally, recent measurements of correlations between event-planes of different harmonic orders are discussed in the context of non-linear response.

description: Established in 2013, American Honors (AH) is a program operated in partnership between the for-profit company Quad Learning and a growing number of public two-year colleges. It is designed to provide an honors curriculum and intensive wraparound advising for high-achieving, low-income domestic students, as well as for international students who study in the United States. The goal is to help these students complete an associate degree, transfer to a selective four-year college destination, and be prepared for academic success at that destination.

Community college faculty design and teach the Honors courses, while Quad Learning provides instructional design assistance; recruits, trains, and deploys advisors; develops relationships with admissions staff at selective universities across the country; and works with community college recruitment staff to recruit both domestic and international students into the program. To cover the cost of these services, the college charges AH students additional tuition and/or fees, and it splits the associated revenues with Quad Learning.

CCRC is conducting a mixed-methods study of AH at six colleges in order to document key components of the program and to evaluate its effectiveness. This brief focuses on the nature of the domestic population currently served by AH; its key programmatic features; and community college student, faculty, and staff perspectives on the program. A final research report including findings on student outcomes and a cost-benefit analysis will be released late in 2018.

While current accounting standards view an M&A as buying assets to add to the acquirer’s balance sheet, the proposed alternative approach views the purchase as buying the business of a target and the value in that business. Accordingly, the purchase price includes the value in the target’s balance sheet plus the added value of the business indicated by the income statement, with the remainder attributed to an alternative goodwill measure. This measure is immediately available to investors on the announcement of the acquisition rather than in subsequent financial reports. The paper shows that this timely alternative goodwill measure is (1) negatively related to the acquirer's long-term returns, (2) positively associated with the future impairments of goodwill reported under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and (3) incrementally informative over event-date market reactions and acquisition premiums for predicting long-term returns and goodwill impairments.

description: We present an implementation of the vector boson pair production processes ZZ, W+W- and W Z within the POWHEG framework, which is a method that allows the interfacing of NLO calculations to shower Monte Carlo programs. The implementation is built within the POWHEG BOX package. The Z/γ^* interference, as well as singly resonant contributions, are properly included. We also considered interference terms arising from identical leptons in the final state. As a result, all contributions leading to the desired four-lepton system have been included in the calculation, with the sole exception of the interference between ZZ and W+W- in the production of a pair of same-flavour, oppositely charged fermions and a pair of neutrinos, which we show to be fully negligible. Anomalous trilinear couplings can be also set in the program, and we give some examples of their effect at the LHC. We have made the relevant code available at the POWHEG BOX web site.

description: Numerical models capable of simulating solute reactive transport in groundwater systems are often used as tools to assess the state of contaminated aquifer systems. Accurately simulating the fate and transport of solutes, however, is often hindered by a lack of information regarding the chemical reactions parameters that govern the fate of the solute. Furthermore, field and laboratory methods used to determine these parameters are often labor- and resource-intensive, and often cannot be translated to numerical models due to differences in scale, especially for largescale aquifer systems. In this study, we employ a steady-state Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), a data assimilation algorithm, to provide improved estimates of a spatially-variable first-order rate constant λ through assimilation of solute concentration C measurement data into reactive transport simulation results. The numerical model establishes correlation between λ and the calculated C values throughout the model domain. This correlation, along with model results and measured C values from a reference field, are used by the EnKF to correct model-calculated C values as well as λ in adjacent locations in the model domain. The methodology is applied in a steady-state, synthetic aquifer system in which a contaminant is leached to the saturated zone and undergoes advection, dispersion, and first-order decay in the aquifer system. Uncertainty regarding the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is also included. Results from all simulations show that the filter scheme is successful in conditioning the λ ensemble to a reference λ field.

description: The liquidity management strategies of fund managers, supported by policy measures, have helped bond funds limit the increase in redemptions caused by COVID 19. This avoided further deterioration in liquidity in bond markets. Nevertheless, these funds were left with lower cash buffers, which could make them more vulnerable to additional large redemptions.

description: Les stratégies de gestion de la liquidité auxquelles recourent les gestionnaires de fonds – soutenues par les mesures des pouvoirs publics – ont contribué à limiter la hausse des demandes de rachat de parts des fonds obligataires engendrées par la pandémie de COVID-19 et à éviter une nouvelle détérioration de la liquidité des marchés obligataires. Les fonds obligataires se sont néanmoins retrouvés avec moins de réserves de liquidités, ce qui pourrait augmenter leur vulnérabilité s’ils devaient encore répondre à d’autres demandes de rachats massifs.

description: To improve the educational experiences and outcomes of student veterans, the Kisco Foundation developed the Kohlberg Prize in 2015. Two cohorts of colleges were awarded competitive grants to enhance their veterans services.

This piece examines the process of creating integrated services for student veterans through the institutionalization of one-stop veterans resource centers, drawing on information provided via winners’ responses to standard application and narrative reporting templates. The authors identify key challenges inherent in integrating services. Some of these—for instance, those related to budgets and staffing—are practical. Others are philosophical, highlighting different approaches to service integration and perhaps calling into question the best way to serve specific populations within complex institutions and communities.

The authors highlight several approaches colleges took to integrate support services for student veterans, weigh the pros and cons of different approaches, and share observations that may benefit other community colleges as they think through the best ways to support their own military-connected students.
title: Is the stock market pricing in a V‑shaped recovery?

description: Major stock indexes have bounced back from their March 23 trough to about 10 percent below their peaks. However, stocks that are more sensitive to the business cycle have not performed as well during this market rally. This suggests that stock markets are pricing in a slower, shallower economic recovery.

description: Après avoir atteint un creux le 23 mars, les grands indices boursiers se sont redressés pour s’établir à un niveau environ 10 % inférieur à leurs sommets. Cependant, les actions plus sensibles aux cycles économiques n’ont pas affiché un aussi bon rendement pendant cette remontée des marchés. On peut donc en déduire que les prix sur les marchés boursiers sont fondés sur une reprise économique plus lente et plus modeste.
