description: The Samoan population has experienced rapid increases in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and NCD risk factors over the last 30 years. However, understanding how increased awareness and treatment of these conditions in reducing disease burden remains understudied. Using data from a longitudinal study (2010–2019) of cardiometabolic health among Samoan adults, we assess the impact of a referral for elevated blood pressure (BP) on changes in BP, physician’s diagnoses of hypertension and medication use, body mass index (BMI), and other risk factors for elevated BP. Analyses compared adult Samoans (n = 328) who in 2010 either (1) received a referral for elevated BP (BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg) or (2) had measured BP indicative of pre-hypertension (BP ≥ 120/80 mmHg) but were not referred. Data were analysed using linear and logistic regression, paired T- and McNemar’s tests, and Wilcoxon Rank Sum assessments. Referrals in 2010 significantly increased the odds of reporting a physician’s diagnosis of hypertension (OR 2.16; 1.18, 3.95) and hypertension medication use (OR 3.52; 1.86, 6.73) in 2018; however, referrals, medication use, and diagnoses were not associated with BP values or reduced odds of having elevated BP. Despite the referral having positive effects on hypertension-related health care, our results demonstrate that other factors are influencing effective BP/hypertension control. We advocate for greater engagement of health researchers with local health sector actors to improve the probability that researcher-provided health referrals will result in long-term health improvements.

description: Keldysh formalism is used to get the current-voltage characteristic of a small system of interacting electrons described by a Hubbard model coupled to metallic wires. The numerical procedure is checked recovering well-known results for an Anderson impurity. When larger interacting regions are considered quite different results are obtained depending on whether the Hubbard part is half-filled or not. At half-filling the existence of a gap charge manifests itself making current exponentially small as a function both of the number of interacting sites and the value of U. The behavior changes at large voltages above the gap energy when activated charge transport takes place. On the contrary, for filling factors other than half, current goes through the interacting system suffering just a small amount of scattering at both connections. Conductance depends slightly on U and much more on the filling factor but not on the length of the interacting region.

 Discussion. This widespread species has been reported from Tabasco and Veracruz (Waterhouse 1889), as well as from the Mexican states of Chiapas, México, Oaxaca and San Luis Potosí (Westcott et al. 1989) and from Colima, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Michoacán, Nayarit and Puebla, and from Honduras (Westcott and Hespenheide 2006). The species keys to A. nevadensis Horn in Fisher’s key (1928), but differs in color, pronotal sculpture, pattern of setae and nature of the apices of the elytra, and pattern of setae on abdominal ventrites. Specimens vary in size from 7.6–10.8 mm in length (mean = 9.17 mm, N = 46).

description: An important recent development in mediation analysis is the use of causal mediation analysis. Causal mediation analysis decomposes the total exposure effect into causal direct and indirect effects in the presence of exposure-mediator interaction. However, in practice, traditional mediation analysis is still most widely used. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the causal and traditional estimators for mediation models with a continuous mediator, a binary outcome, and exposure-mediator interaction. A real-life data example, analytical comparisons, and a simulation study were used to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the traditional and causal estimators. The causal and traditional estimators provide similar indirect effect estimates, but different direct and total effect estimates. Traditional mediation analysis may only be used when conditional direct effect estimates are of interest. Causal mediation analysis is the generally preferred method as its casual effect estimates help unravel causal mechanisms.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy has both negative and positive aspects in the development of many diseases. Yet, its exact role and specific mechanism in the onset of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is still not fully understood. Retarded gingiva healing is the primary clinical manifestation in patients with MRONJ. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between autophagy and apoptosis in MRONJ gingival epithelium and search for a method to prevent this disease. First, we examined clinical samples from patients diagnosed with MRONJ and healthy controls, finding that autophagy-related markers MAP1LC3/LC3 and SQSTM1/p62 synchronously increased, thus suggesting that autophagic flux was suppressed in MRONJ. Moreover, mRNA sequencing analysis and TUNEL assay showed that the process of apoptosis was upregulated in patients and animals with MRONJ, indicating autophagy and apoptosis participate in the development of MRONJ. Furthermore, the level of autophagy and apoptosis in zoledronic acid (ZA)-treated human keratinocytes cell lines (HaCaT cells) was concentration dependent in vitro. In addition, we also found that RAB7 (RAB7, member RAS oncogene family) activator ML098 could rescue MRONJ gingival lesions in mice by activating the autophagic flux and downregulating apoptosis. To sum up, this study demonstrated that autophagic flux is impaired in the gingival epithelium during MRONJ, and the rescued autophagic flux could prevent the occurrence of MRONJ.

description: We analyze the obtained solutions of the non-linear Shroedinger equation for spherically and axially symmetrical electrons density oscillations in plasma. The conditions of the oscillations process existence are examined. It is shown that in the center or on the axis of symmetry of the systems the static density of electrons enhances. This process results in the increasing of density and pressure of the ion gas. We suggest that this mechanism could occur in nature as rare phenomenon called the fireball and could be used in carrying out the research concerning controlled fusion. The description of the experiments, carried out for the purpose to generate long-lived spherical plasma structures, is presented.

description: The observation of spatial quantum noise reduction, or spatial squeezing, with a large number of photons can lead to a significant advantage in quantum imaging and quantum metrology due to the scaling of the signal-to-noise ratio with the number of photons. Here we present a systematic study of the limiting factors that play a role on the measurement of spatial squeezing with an electron-multiplying charge coupled device (EMCCD) camera in the limit of bright quantum states of light generated with a four-wave mixing process in an atomic vapor cell. We detect a total number of photons per beam of the order 10$^8$ in 1 $μ$s pulses, which corresponds to a photon flux per beam of the order of 10$^{14}$ photons per second. We then investigate the role of different parameters, such as cell temperature, pump power, laser detunings, scattered pump background noise, and timing sequences for the image acquisition with the EMCCD camera, on the level of spatial squeezing. We identify critical parameters to obtain an optimum squeezing level and demonstrate that for bright beams it is essential to acquire images at a rate fast enough to overcome the effect of classical technical noise.

description: Beauty quarks are considered as one of the best probes of the strongly interacting medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions because they are predominantly produced via initial hard scatterings. Our measurements of B mesons productions provide information on the diffusion of beauty quarks and the flavor dependence of in-medium energy loss. In these studies, clarifying the hadronization mechanism is crucial for understanding the transport properties of beauty quarks. We propose to show our experimental results on three sets of particles: nonprompt $J/ψ$ and $D^0$, $B^0_s$ and $B^+$, and prompt $D^+_s$ and $D^0$. Our measurements of $B^0_s$ production can shed light on the mechanisms of beauty recombination in the medium. In addition, the measurements of mesons productions containing both strange and beauty quarks can provide more information about strangeness enhancement in the quark-gluon plasma. The ratio of $B^0_s$ over $B^+$ nuclear modification factors at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV, using fully reconstructed B mesons with the CMS detector, are presented. We will also show the nonprompt $J/ψ$ and $D^0$ from the partial B mesons decay chains as well as our precise measurement the prompt $D^+_s$ to $D^0$ ratio in pp and PbPb collisions.

Langmuir wave self-focusing versus decay instability

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Electron trapping in a finite amplitude Langmuir wave (LW) leads to a frequency shift, Δω_{TP} < 0, and reduced Landau damping. These may lead to modulational instability. Its growth rate and damping threshold, due to escape of trapped electrons at rate ν, are calculated for the first time in the short wavelength regime. If the background plasma is in thermal equilibrium, it is shown that this trapped particle modulational instability (TPMI) is not possible when k λ_D > 0.46, while for 0.33 < k λ_D < 0.46, TPMI requires that the fluctuation wavevector have a component perpendicular to k, the LW wavevector, with λ_D the electron Debye length. Its nonlinear evolution leads to self-focusing. Comparison is made with a re-evaluated LW ion acoustic decay instability (LDI): compared to classical estimates, the new LDI threshold is lowered by primary LW Δω_{TP} since frequency matching leads to wavenumber and hence damping reduction of the daughter LW. For parameters estimates relevant to a recent stimulated Raman scatter experiment (Kline et al., submitted to PRL), the LDI and TPMI thresholds cross in the range 0.28 < k λ_D < 0.34, consistent with the observed LDI regime change. However, if νexceeds a critical value, estimated to be order 1% of the electron plasma frequency, then TPMI is not possible at any wavenumber.

description: Two spherical bubbles with changing radii are considered to be moving in ideal fluid along their center-line. The exact expression for the fluid kinetic energy is obtained. The Stokes stream function is expanded in Gegenbauer polynomials in bispherical coordinates. This expansion is used to obtain the exact series for the fluid kinetic energy quadratic form coefficients. The new series are confirmed to be correct by comparison with the known ones. The main advantage of the new kinetic energy form is the possibility to obtain asymptotic expansions at small separation distance between the bubbles. These expansions are obtained and their convergence is analyzed. The results of this work can be used to describe the bubbles approach before the contact and their coalescence in acoustic field.

description: Studies concerning young-adult amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (yALS) are uncommon, due to the rarity of this condition. We aimed to investigate this subject. Methods: A retrospective-prospective study was conducted in our ALS center, including 1278 ALS patients followed longitudinally. Patients were divided in two groups - yALS (onset ≤40 years) and adult-onset ALS (aALS, onset >40 years). We analyzed phenotype, survival and genetics. Results: Sixty-three out of 1278 (4.9%) patients were included in yALS group, while the majority were categorized as aALS (1215, 95.1%). Juvenile ALS (onset < 25 years) represented 14.3% (9 patients) of yALS. In yALS group mean onset age was 32.5 ± 6.6 years (14–40) and 68.3% were men. Spinal-onset was significantly more frequent in yALS (p p = 0.002). Diagnostic delay was longer in yALS group (p = 0.02). yALS patients survived longer than aALS (88.2 ± 81.9 versus 41.1 ± 34, p p = 0.007). No other significant differences were found, including familial history of ALS. Three yALS patients (4.8%) had C9orf72, SOD1 and FUS mutations identified by single-gene testing. A panel of 50 ALS-related genes investigated with next-generation sequencing in 9 yALS patients revealed no pathogenic mutation. Conclusions: yALS is a rare and specific ALS group. Disease progression is slower and survival longer in yALS, moreover and bulbar-onset phenotype is less common than in aALS. These observations are relevant to inform patients and for clinical trials design.

description: We discuss the new constraints on gluon parton distribution function (PDF) in lead nucleus, derivable with the Hessian PDF reweighting method from the 5.02 TeV p+Pb measurements of dijet (CMS) and $D^0$-meson (LHCb) nuclear modification ratios. The impact is found to be significant, placing stringent constraints in the mid- and previously unconstrained small-$x$ regions. The CMS dijet data confirm the existence of gluon anti-shadowing and the onset of small-$x$ shadowing, as well as reduce the gluon PDF uncertainties in the larger-$x$ region. The gluon constraints from the LHCb $D^0$ data, reaching down to $x \sim 10^{-5}$ and derived in a NLO perturbative QCD approach, provide a remarkable reduction of the small-$x$ uncertainties with a strong direct evidence of gluon shadowing. Furthermore, we find a good description of the data even down to zero $D^0$-meson transverse momentum within a purely DGLAP-based approach without a need for imposing any non-linear effects. Importantly, the constraints obtained from the dijet and $D^0$ data are mutually fully consistent, supporting the universality of nuclear PDFs in hard-scattering processes.

description: Wireless optical communications (WOC) has carriers up to several hundred terahertz, which offers several advantages, such as ultrawide bandwidth and no electromagnetic interference. Conventional WOC that uses light transmitters such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), directed LEDs, and lasers are facing major challenges in attenuation or tracking. Resonant beam communications (RBCom) meets the requirements of low attenuation, non-mechanical mobility, and multiple access. Yet, RBCom channel undergoes echo interference in contrast to common non-echo channels. An interference elimination method based on optical filtering is presented along with an exemplary interference-free RBCom system.

description: To explore novel, real-world biotelemetry disease progression markers in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and to compare with clinical gold-standard measures. Methods: This was an exploratory, non-controlled, non-drug 2-phase study comprising a variable length Pilot Phase (n = 5) and a 48-week Core study Phase (n = 25; NCT02447952). Patients with mild or moderate ALS wore biotelemetry sensors for ∼3 days/month at home, measuring physical activity, heart rate variability (HRV), and speech over 48 weeks. These measures were assessed longitudinally in relation to ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) score and forced vital capacity (FVC); assessed by telephone [monthly] and clinic visits [every 12 weeks]). Results: Pilot Phase data supported progression into the Core Phase, where a decline in physical activity from baseline followed ALS progression as measured by ALSFRS-R and FVC. Four endpoints showed moderate or strong between-patient correlations with ALSFRS-R total and gross motor domain scores (defined as a correlation coefficient of ≥0.5 or >0.7, respectively): average daytime active; percentage of daytime active; total daytime activity score; total 24-hour activity score. Moderate correlations were observed between speech endpoints and ALSFRS-R bulbar domain scores; HRV data quality was insufficient for reliable assessment. The sensor was generally well tolerated; 6/25 patients reported mostly mild or moderate intensity skin and subcutaneous tissue disorder adverse events. Conclusions: Biotelemetry measures of physical activity in this Pilot Study tracked ALS progression over time, highlighting their potential as endpoints for future clinical trials. A larger, formally powered study is required to further support activity endpoints as novel disease progression markers.

description: A recent case-series described patients with ALS to improve and/or stabilize after treatment with intravenous high-dose Penicillin G/Hydrocortisone (PenGH). In this study, we determine the safety and efficacy of intravenous PenGH versus placebo in combination with riluzole in patients with ALS. Patients diagnosed with ALS according to the El Escorial criteria were randomized double-blind to four quarterly cycles of 21 d of intravenous PenGH or placebo in a 5:3 ratio. The primary outcome was change from baseline to week 48 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale—Revised (ALSFRS-R). Secondary outcomes were lung function, muscle strength, plasma creatinine, clinical stage, gastrostomy placement, quality of life and occurrence of adverse of events. In total, 16 patients were randomized (10 PenGH and 6 placebo), of which 6 (40%) completed the study. Patients treated with PenGH progressed with 2.2 (95% CI 1.1–3.3) ALSFRS-R points per month and PenGH treatment did not halt disease progression (p = 0.002). No significant differences were found between PenGH or placebo (mean difference 0.5, 95% CI −1.01 to ∞, p = 0.28). Although PenGH was well-tolerated, 6 patients (38%, 3 in each arm) had thrombotic complications due to the intravenous administration method. Treatment with PenGH does not halt disease or reverse progression in patients with ALS and showed no statistical difference with those who received placebo. Prolonged intravenous administration therapies may inflate thrombosis risk.

description: Inertial-range features of turbulence are investigated using data from experimental measurements of grid turbulence and direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence simulated in a periodic box, both at the Taylor-scale Reynolds number $R_λ\sim 1000$. In particular, oscillations modulating the power-law scaling in the inertial range are examined for structure functions up to sixth order moments. The oscillations in exponent ratios decrease with increasing sample size in simulations though, in experiments, they survive at a low value of $4$ parts in $1000$ even after massive averaging. The two data sets are consistent in their intermittent character but differ in small but observable respects. Neither the scaling exponents themselves nor all the viscous effects are consistently reproduced by existing models of intermittency.

description: Ion chambers used to monitor the secondary hadron and tertiary muon beam in the NuMI neutrino beamline will be exposed to background particles, including low energy neutrons produced in the beam dump. To understand these backgrounds, we have studied Helium- and Argon-filled ionization chambers exposed to intense neutron fluxes from PuBe neutron sources ($E_n=1-10$ MeV). The sources emit about 10$^8$ neutrons per second. The number of ion pairs in the chamber gas volume per incident neutron is derived. While limited in precision because of a large gamma ray background from the PuBe sources, our results are consistent with the expectation that the neutrons interact purely elastically in the chamber gas.

title: ‘Leav(ing) room for the reader’ : the agency of characters who read in the fiction of Ali Smith
Creators: name: Orr, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis argues that characters who read are a recurring preoccupation in the work of contemporary Scottish writer Ali Smith, who foregrounds the act of reading as equal to, if not more important than, the act of writing itself. It begins by examining aspects of Smith’s own personal history as a reader, and establishing a critical framework for understanding this identification through two reader-response perspectives: Louise Rosenblatt’s ‘The Reader, The Text, The Poem’ and Wolfgang Iser’s ‘The Act of Reading’. These ideas counterpoint portrayals of reading as a passive and subordinate activity, as propagated by schools of thinking such as the New Criticism, and transform it into one of agency and participation. The three following chapters further evidence this re-conceptualisation of the reader’s role, drawing on different critical perspectives to examine more nuanced aspects of Smith’s representation. Firstly, ‘The Embodied Reader’ considers the – often explosive - physicality of the reader’s experience in the novels ‘Like’ and ‘Autumn’, drawing on three key essays by the feminist critic Hélène Cixous: ‘Sorties: Out and Out: Attacks/Ways Out/Forays’, ‘Difficult Joys’ and ‘Coming to Writing’, which similarly conceptualise reading and writing as visceral activities driven by bodily impulses and desires. Secondly, ‘The Dialogic Reader’ focusses on readers’ narrative interventions in ‘Artful’ and several of Smith’s short stories, drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism in his essay ‘Discourse in the novel’ to suggest that the disruptive voice of the reader works to challenge the prevailing authority of the text. Thirdly, ‘The Reader as a Spectator’ considers characters who engage with contemporary visual technologies as part of a broader conception of who might be considered a ‘reader’ in Smith’s work. Supported by critical perspectives such as Laura Mulvey’s ‘Death 24x a Second’ and Mary Ann Doane’s ‘The Emergence of Cinematic Time’, this chapter argues that the adolescent protagonists of ‘The Accidental’ and ‘How to be both’ are encouraged to take similar control over what they see, as with what they read.

description: Barcodes are ubiquitous and have been used in most of critical daily activities for decades. However, most of traditional decoders require well-founded barcode under a relatively standard condition. While wilder conditioned barcodes such as underexposed, occluded, blurry, wrinkled and rotated are commonly captured in reality, those traditional decoders show weakness of recognizing. Several works attempted to solve those challenging barcodes, but many limitations still exist. This work aims to solve the decoding problem using deep convolutional neural network with the possibility of running on portable devices. Firstly, we proposed a special modification of inference based on the feature of having checksum and test-time augmentation, named as Smart Inference (SI) in prediction phase of a trained model. SI considerably boosts accuracy and reduces the false prediction for trained models. Secondly, we have created a large practical evaluation dataset of real captured 1D barcode under various challenging conditions to test our methods vigorously, which is publicly available for other researchers. The experiments' results demonstrated the SI effectiveness with the highest accuracy of 95.85% which outperformed many existing decoders on the evaluation set. Finally, we successfully minimized the best model by knowledge distillation to a shallow model which is shown to have high accuracy (90.85%) with good inference speed of 34.2 ms per image on a real edge device.
