description: Abstract: Background: Smoking during pregnancy has serious consequences for maternal and child health. An intervention package to embed National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance (babyClear©) was delivered across maternity and stop smoking services (SSS) within an English region, to support pregnant women to stop smoking. We aimed to ascertain acceptability among pregnant smokers receiving the intervention. Methods: Pregnant smokers who received the intervention and participated in the study were interviewed, first at around 16 weeks of pregnancy (n = 17) and again several weeks later (n = 8) or postpartum (n = 3). Interview schedules were informed by Normalization Process Theory (NPT) and Theoretical Domains Framework; interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically, using the Framework method and NPT. Findings are grouped according to the four NPT concepts. Results: Coherence: Carbon monoxide monitoring appeared to make sense; women were motivated to quit by being monitored. Cognitive participation: When linked to a professional discourse of caring and concern, some women were prompted to engage with the SS message. Women were more guarded in their reaction to initial contact from the SSS; reporting attending appointments successfully, or in some cases, experiencing problems that decreased engagement and made quitting harder. Collective action: Where women continued to smoke or failed to attend SSS appointments, an extra intervention was delivered, the Risk Perception Tool (RPT), which often prompted pregnant women to act. Reflexive monitoring: Most women accepted the need for a hard-hitting approach (RPT) and, while it distressed them at the time, they claimed they were subsequently grateful for it. SSS intervention post-RPT was seen as supportive, partly because it often involved home visits. Aspects of family inclusion in babyClear© were reported as beneficial. In Trusts where women experienced services as less focused on prioritising the stop smoking message, less well integrated or reported maternity staff as less adept at delivering the RPT, women found babyClear© less acceptable overall. Conclusions: The babyClear© package was acceptable to pregnant smokers interviewed during and shortly after pregnancy and, in some cases, to promote quitting. However, some contexts were more optimal than others, leading to variation in acceptability overall.

description: We are concerned with the problem of global well-posedness of the 3D Navier--Stokes equations on the torus with unitary viscosity. While a full answer to this question seems to be out of reach of the current techniques, we establish a regularization by a deterministic vector field. More precisely, we consider the vorticity form of the system perturbed by an additional transport type term. Such a perturbation conserves the enstrophy and therefore a priori it does not imply any smoothing. Our main result is a construction of a deterministic vector field $v=v(t,x)$ which provides the desired regularization of the system and yields global well-posedness for large initial data outside arbitrary small sets. The proof relies on probabilistic arguments developed by Flandoli and Luo, tools from rough path theory by Hofmanová, Leahy and Nilssen and a new Wong--Zakai approximation result, which itself combines probabilistic and rough path techniques.

description: This thesis and novel celebrates Mexican culture, family, and tradition in a fantastical setting while also examining the ways in which first generation Mexican American immigrant children cope with external pressures to identify themselves. Drawing on my own hydridic Mexican and American identity, the novel asks whether or not two separate spheres of identities can merge, and can they allow us to exist in a new liminal space? Set in contemporary Mexico, Borderline Magic uses a magic/non-magic dynamic as a narrative device to look at the nature of identities and how they either dissuade or encourage us find our place among our families and communities.

description: O Toarciano, o quarto andar do Sistema Jurássico, tem na Bacia Lusitânica (Portugal Central) uma forte expressão cartográfica e uma importante representação estratigráfica, sendo materializado por sedimentos carbonatados de origem marinha. Com vários locais de referência para a observação da sua evolução sedimentológica, a variabilidade faciológica que está registada no Toarciano dos vários setores da bacia, aponta para um paleoambiente de rampa carbonatada marinha, levemente inclinada (homoclinal) para noroeste. A maioria dos afloramentos conhecidos na bacia mostra uma sucessão margo-calcária, hemipelágica, com uma grande diferenciação paleontológica, contando-se uma grande diversidade de grupos fósseis, entre bentónicos, nectónicos e planctónicos. A maioria das sucessões, à semelhança de muitas outras no contexto tetisiano, encontra-se particularmente bem datada a partir de fósseis de amonites. Por essa razão, são várias as séries sedimentares de referência na Bacia Lusitânica, destacando-se desde logo o estratotipo do limite Pliensbaquiano - Toarciano (GSSP - Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point - do Toarciano), definido no topo da Formação de Lemede e que aflora na Ponta do Trovão em Peniche. De igual modo, relativamente ao impacto internacional do Toarciano português, é digno de realce o registo do evento anóxico oceânico do Toarciano inferior, amplamente reconhecido através de estudos de estratigrafia integrada, realizados nos últimos anos na Bacia Lusitânica. Estes estudos, apoiados sobretudo na análise geoquímica isotópica de carbono e oxigénio, e de natureza paleontológica, têm demonstrado a importância da geologia portuguesa no conhecimento deste intervalo da história da Terra, de intensa mudança à escala global. Resultado de toda uma intensa atividade de investigação realizada no Toarciano em Portugal, envolvendo outros intervalos estratigráficos é, neste enquadramento, que se desenvolve o presente trabalho, enfatizando-se o estado de conhecimento que se alcançou nos últimos anos.

description: We expand the Chebyshev polynomials and some of its linear combination in linear combinations of the q-Hermite, the Rogers (q-utraspherical) and the Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials and vice versa. We use these expansions to obtain expansions of some densities, including q-Normal and some related to it, in infinite series constructed of the products of the other density times polynomials orthogonal to it, allowing deeper analysis and discovering new properties. On the way we find an easy proof of expansion of the Poisson--Mehler kernel as well as its reciprocal. We also formulate simple rule relating one set of orthogonal polynomials to the other given the properties of the ratio of the respective densities of measures orthogonalizing these polynomials sets.

description: Abstract: Telomeres, the end fragments of chromosomes, play key roles in cellular proliferation and senescence. Here we characterize the genetic architecture of naturally occurring variation in leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and identify causal links between LTL and biomedical phenotypes in 472,174 well-characterized UK Biobank participants. We identified 197 independent sentinel variants associated with LTL at 138 genomic loci (108 new). Genetically determined differences in LTL were associated with multiple biological traits, ranging from height to bone marrow function, as well as several diseases spanning neoplastic, vascular and inflammatory pathologies. Finally, we estimated that, at the age of 40 years, people with an LTL >1 s.d. shorter than the population mean had a 2.5-year-lower life expectancy compared with the group with ≥1 s.d. longer LDL. Overall, we furnish new insights into the genetic regulation of LTL, reveal wide-ranging influences of LTL on physiological traits, diseases and longevity, and provide a powerful resource available to the global research community.

description: We introduce Lie-Nijenhuis bialgebroids as Lie bialgebroids endowed with an additional derivation-like object. They give a complete infinitesimal description of Poisson-Nijenhuis groupoids, and key examples include Poisson-Nijenhuis manifolds, holomorphic Lie bialgebroids and flat Lie bialgebra bundles. To achieve our goal we develop a theory of "generalized derivations" and their duality, extending the well-established theory of derivations on vector bundles.

description: Ionizing radiation (IR) is widely used in cancer therapy and accidental or environmental exposure is a major concern. However, little is known about the genome-wide effects IR exerts on germ cells and the relative contribution of DNA repair pathways for mending IR-induced lesions. Here, using C. elegans as a model system and using primary sequencing data from our recent high-level overview of the mutagenic consequences of 11 genotoxic agents, we investigate in detail the genome-wide mutagenic consequences of exposing wild-type and 43 DNA repair and damage response defective C. elegans strains to a Caesium (Cs-137) source, emitting γ-rays. Cs-137 radiation induced single nucleotide variants (SNVs) at a rate of ~1 base substitution per 3 Gy, affecting all nucleotides equally. In nucleotide excision repair mutants, this frequency increased 2-fold concurrently with increased dinucleotide substitutions. As observed for DNA damage induced by bulky DNA adducts, small deletions were increased in translesion polymerase mutants, while base changes decreased. Structural variants (SVs) were augmented with dose, but did not arise with significantly higher frequency in any DNA repair mutants tested. Moreover, 6% of all mutations occurred in clusters, but clustering was not significantly altered in any DNA repair mutant background. Our data is relevant for better understanding how DNA repair pathways modulate IR-induced lesions.

Nucleo per artisti al Murnerei (Gole della Breggia): atelier per artisti

description: In una prima fase si è analizzato il luogo di progetto, situato all’interno del parco delle Gole della Breggia, presenta una morfologia particolare a ridosso di una montagna ma anche a margine del fiume Breggia. Il progetto scaturisce da una topografia artificiale che organizza gli spazi. Il quadrato come geometria base viene scavato all’interno del volume e definito dagli spazi serventi, massicci e perfettamente delimitati. Nella prima parte dell’edificio si sviluppano i cinque moduli degli atelier con annesso appartamento al piano primo. Nella zona conclusiva che “racchiude il mappale” si trovano invece gli spazi di condivisione e la zona espositiva. Il visitatore deve così attraversare un percorso artistico costeggiando gli atelier privati per raggiungere gli spazi a lui dedicati. Le grandi vetrate a tutta altezza su entrambi i lati dell’edificio permettono una visione importante dello spazio interno, donando ariosità ad uno spazio altrimenti molto massiccio e consentono una visione passante dello spazio. Il calcestruzzo bocciardato usato per la struttura esterna richiama, con la sua “ruvidità” la materialità dei muretti e dell’argine esistenti che affiorano dal suolo e ne disegnano lo spazio. Il tetto verde vuole invece smorzare quello che potrebbe essere un impatto molto invasivo del territorio specialmente per chi si trova sui sentieri delle montagne adiacenti, lo camuffa nel folto del parco. Gli spazi comuni si sviluppano, come gli atelier, attraverso parti massicce contenti gli spazi serventi che delineano gli ampi spazi serviti di esposizione e ristorante. Il progetto si prefigge l’obiettivo di prestare particolare attenzione all’ambiente, alla società ed al benessere abitativo. Raggiunge lo standard Minergie-P grazie ad un’attenta progettazione e scelta dei materiali. Viene inoltre sfruttata l’energia solare prodotta da pannelli posti sul tetto della zona comune per fornire elettricità a tutto il complesso e, grazie a delle batterie, stoccarla per essere sfruttata anche dal nucleo abitativo adiacente.

description: This blog post explores Camden's mid-century housing, which developed between the 1940s and 1970s and reflects a worldwide modernism movement. Characterized by simple lines and open spaces, these homes arose amid urban growth linked to the new jobs created by the Burragorang coalfields. Unfortunately, many of these historic structures are disappearing, necessitating greater recognition and appreciation of their significance.

description: In this paper, we focus on the solution of online optimization problems that arise often in signal processing and machine learning, in which we have access to streaming sources of data. We discuss algorithms for online optimization based on the prediction-correction paradigm, both in the primal and dual space. In particular, we leverage the typical regularized least-squares structure appearing in many signal processing problems to propose a novel and tailored prediction strategy, which we call extrapolation-based. By using tools from operator theory, we then analyze the convergence of the proposed methods as applied both to primal and dual problems, deriving an explicit bound for the tracking error, that is, the distance from the time-varying optimal solution. We further discuss the empirical performance of the algorithm when applied to signal processing, machine learning, and robotics problems.

description: Good health affects productivity and income of the workers and this will further deepen the incidence of poverty and ill-health. This study examined the linkage between ill-health cost and multidimensional poverty of rural households in Ogun state, Nigeria. Multistage sampling was used to select 240 households for the study. Data collected were analysed with descriptive statistics, economic cost of illness, multidimensional poverty index and logistic regression model. The result revealed that majority (95%) of the households experienced malaria infestation, time cost of illness contributed most (92.6%) to the total economic cost. Result revealed that 69% of households are multidimensionally poor. Furthermore, marital status (p<0.01), off-farm income (p<0.01), financial cost (p<0.01), days forgone production (p<0.1), time cost (p<0.01) and area cultivated (p<0.1) positively, and significantly influence multidimensional poverty status while household size (p<0.01), cooperative membership (p<0.05), public health care services (p<0.1) and health extension contact (p<0.01) have negative, and significant effect. The study concluded that increase in out of pocket expenditure as a result of ill-health cost increases poverty status, availability and access to public health facilities reduces poverty status, it was therefore recommended that public health facilities should be located nearer to the people with minimum social stratification that might discourage poor masses from its usage, essential drugs should be provided at subsidized rates as this will go a long way in reducing financial cost thereby reducing poverty status.

Environmental fate and transformation of fluorotelomer compounds in landfill leachate
Creators: name: Hamid, Hanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Fluorotelomer compounds (FTCs) and their transformation products are routinely detected in landfill leachate, their environmental fate and transformation in leachate are unknown. This study focused on measuring bio- and phototransformation of spiked FTCs in landfill leachate, using lab-scale experiments under environmentally relevant conditions. Spiked 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH) and 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (FTS) and their known biotransformation products were quantified in sediment-leachate microcosms and their headspaces over 90 days. The results showed that 8:2 FTOH and 6:2 FTS persisted (half-life >>30 d) in landfill leachate-sediment microcosms. Slower biotransformation led to significant partitioning of semi-volatile 8:2 FTOH to the gas phase, suggesting that landfills may act as secondary sources for semi-volatile FTOHs in the environment. C6 – C8 and C4 – C6 perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) were the most abundant products for 8:2 FTOH and 6:2 FTS, respectively. The effect of organic carbon and ammonia concentrations in 6:2 FTS biotransformation and PFCA formation were investigated with sediment microcosms, to which deionized water (DI) and various amounts of leachate were added. Greater biotransformation of 6:2 FTS was observed in leachate added microcosms, compared to DI microcosms, likely reflecting substrate dependency of 6:2 FTS biotransformation. Substrate limiting conditions in DI microcosms resulted in a slightly higher formation of (C4 – C6) PFCAs compared with leachate added microcosms. To understand roles of microbial communities (e.g., heterotrophic, autotrophic) in 6:2 FTS biotransformation and PFCA production, experiments were carried out with specific substrates (i.e., glucose, ammonia) and ammonia-oxidizing inhibitor (allylthiourea) using inoculum prepared from sediment. Both heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria were able to biotransform 6:2 FTS to varying extents. Greater biotransformation of 6:2 FTS and C4 – C6 PFCAs formation were observed in the presence of ammonia oxidizers, indicating that biological nitrification is likely to increase 6:2 FTS biotransformation and PFCA production. Phototransformation of 6:2 FTS and PFCA production were investigated in leachate under simulated sunlight. The results showed that 6:2 FTS was undergoing indirect photolysis in leachate (half-life of ∽15 days), suggesting indirect photolysis of 6:2 FTS is likely a relevant transformation pathway in sunlit aquatic environments.

description: We obtain sharp estimates on the growth rate of stable commutator length on random (geodesic) words, and on random walks, in hyperbolic groups and groups acting nondegenerately on hyperbolic spaces. In either case, we show that with high probability stable commutator length of an element of length $n$ is of order $n/\log{n}$. This establishes quantitative refinements of qualitative results of Bestvina-Fujiwara and others on the infinite dimensionality of 2-dimensional bounded cohomology in groups acting suitably on hyperbolic spaces, in the sense that we can control the geometry of the unit balls in these normed vector spaces (or rather, in random subspaces of their normed duals). As a corollary of our methods, we show that an element obtained by random walk of length $n$ in a mapping class group cannot be written as a product of fewer than $O(n/\log{n})$ reducible elements, with probability going to 1 as $n$ goes to infinity. We also show that the translation length on the complex of free factors of a random walk of length $n$ on the outer automorphism group of a free group grows linearly in $n$.

description: Quantum ladder models, consisting of coupled chains, form intriguing systems bridging one and two dimensions and have been well studied in the context of quantum magnets and fermionic systems. Here we consider ladder systems made of more exotic quantum mechanical degrees of freedom, so-called non-Abelian anyons, which can be thought of as certain quantum deformations of ordinary SU(2) spins. Such non-Abelian anyons occur as quasiparticle excitations in topological quantum fluids, including p_x + i p_y superconductors, certain fractional quantum Hall states, and rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. Here we use a combination of exact diagonalization and conformal field theory to determine the phase diagrams of ladders with up to four chains. We discuss how phenomena familiar from ordinary SU(2) spin ladders are generalized in their anyonic counterparts, such as gapless and gapped phases, odd/even effects with the ladder width, and elementary `magnon' excitations. Other features are entirely due to the topological nature of the anyonic degrees of freedom.

description: Background:: Understanding the dynamics of infection and carriage of typhoid in endemic settings is critical to finding solutions to prevention and control. Methods:: In a 3-year case-control study, we investigated typhoid among children aged <16 years (4670 febrile cases and 8549 age matched controls) living in an informal settlement, Nairobi, Kenya. Results:: 148 S. Typhi isolates from cases and 95 from controls (stool culture) were identified; a carriage frequency of 1 %. Whole-genome sequencing showed 97% of cases and 88% of controls were genotype 4.3.1 (Haplotype 58), with the majority of each (76% and 88%) being multidrug-resistant strains in three sublineages of the H58 genotype (East Africa 1 (EA1), EA2, and EA3), with sequences from cases and carriers intermingled. Conclusions:: The high rate of multidrug-resistant H58 S. Typhi, and the close phylogenetic relationships between cases and controls, provides evidence for the role of carriers as a reservoir for the community spread of typhoid in this setting.

description: The Babylonian horoscopes, edited by Rochberg in 1998, contain sets of astronomical and astrological data on dates of, or close to, individuals’ births. Each element of these short and concise texts reflects the astral divinatory practices and astronomical observation developed over the first millennium BC, as well as the latest innovations, including the zodiac as coordinate system and the occurrence of new astrological schemes partly based on it, which had previously remained obscure. In this paper, I present a new interpretation of the astrological terminology and the schemes that underly some of the data in the Babylonian horoscopes.

Using supersymmetry methods, we show that the Dolbeault complex (involving the holomorphic exterior derivative and its Hermitian conjugate) can be perfectly well defined in this case. We calculate the spectrum of the Dolbeault Laplacian. It involves 3 bosonic zero modes such that the Dolbeault index on S^4\{.} is equal to 3.

Does ignorance of the whole imply ignorance of the parts? - Large violations of non-contextuality in quantum theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: A central question in our understanding of the physical world is how our knowledge of the whole relates to our knowledge of the individual parts. One aspect of this question is the following: to what extent does ignorance about a whole preclude knowledge of at least one of its parts? Relying purely on classical intuition, one would certainly be inclined to conjecture that a strong ignorance of the whole cannot come without significant ignorance of at least one of its parts. Indeed, we show that this reasoning holds in any non-contextual hidden variable model (NC-HV). Curiously, however, such a conjecture is \emph{false} in quantum theory: we provide an explicit example where a large ignorance about the whole can coexist with an almost perfect knowledge of each of its parts. More specifically, we provide a simple information-theoretic inequality satisfied in any NC-HV, but which can be \emph{arbitrarily} violated by quantum mechanics. Our inequality has interesting implications for quantum cryptography.

description: We prove a theorem justifying the regularity conditions which are needed for Path Sampling in Factor Models. We then show that the remaining ingredient, namely, MCMC for calculating the integrand at each point in the path, may be seriously flawed, leading to wrong estimates of Bayes factors. We provide a new method of Path Sampling (with Small Change) that works much better than standard Path Sampling in the sense of estimating the Bayes factor better and choosing the correct model more often. When the more complex factor model is true, PS-SC is substantially more accurate. New MCMC diagnostics is provided for these problems in support of our conclusions and recommendations. Some of our ideas for diagnostics and improvement in computation through small changes should apply to other methods of computation of the Bayes factor for model selection.

description: Abstract: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a systemic disorder of connective tissue caused by pathogenic variants in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene. Myocardial dysfunction has been demonstrated in MFS patients and mouse models, but little is known about the intrinsic effect on the cardiomyocytes (CMs). In this study, both induced pluripotent stem cells derived from a MFS-patient and the line with the corrected FBN1 mutation were differentiated to CMs. Several functional analyses are performed on this model to study MFS related cardiomyopathy. Atomic force microscopy revealed that MFS CMs are stiffer compared to corrected CMs. The contraction amplitude of MFS CMs is decreased compared to corrected CMs. Under normal culture conditions, MFS CMs show a lower beat-to-beat variability compared to corrected CMs using multi electrode array. Isoproterenol-induced stress or cyclic strain demonstrates lack of support from the matrix in MFS CMs. This study reports the first cardiac cell culture model for MFS, revealing abnormalities in the behavior of MFS CMs that are related to matrix defects. Based on these results, we postulate that impaired support from the extracellular environment plays a key role in the improper functioning of CMs in MFS.

description: In this manuscript, we consider the Langevin dynamics on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with an overdamped vector field and driven by multiplicative Brownian noise of small amplitude $\sqrtε$, $ε>0$. Under suitable assumptions on the vector field and the diffusion coefficient, it is well-known that it possesses a unique invariant probability measure $μ^ε$. As $ε$ tends to zero, we prove that the probability measure $ε^{d/2} μ^ε(\sqrtε\mathrm{d} x)$ converges in the $p$-Wasserstein distance for $p\in [1,2]$ to a Gaussian measure with zero-mean vector and non-degenerate covariance matrix which solves a Lyapunov matrix equation. Moreover, the error term is estimated. We emphasize that generically no explicit formula for $μ^ε$ can be found.

description: In the context of Dirichlet type spaces on the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^d$, also known as Hardy-Sobolev or Besov-Sobolev spaces, we compare two notions of smallness for compact subsets of the unit sphere. We show that the functional analytic notion of being totally null agrees with the potential theoretic notion of having capacity zero. In particular, this applies to the classical Dirichlet space on the unit disc and logarithmic capacity. In combination with a peak interpolation result of Davidson and the second named author, we obtain strengthenings of boundary interpolation theorems of Peller and Khrushchëv and of Cohn and Verbitsky.
