description: Experimental groups are now fabricating quantum processors powerful enough to execute small instances of quantum algorithms and definitively demonstrate quantum error correction that extends the lifetime of quantum data, adding urgency to architectural investigations. Although other options continue to be explored, effort is coalescing around topological coding models as the most practical implementation option for error correction on realizable microarchitectures. Scalability concerns have also motivated architects to propose distributed memory multicomputer architectures, with experimental efforts demonstrating some of the basic building blocks to make such designs possible. We compile the latest results from a variety of different systems aiming at the construction of a scalable quantum computer.

description: Two major coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed during the Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI) are compared with the catastrophe (CA) and eruptive flux rope (EF) models. The objective is to test two distinct mechanisms for CMEs by modeling these well-observed CMEs and comparing predictions of the theories and observed data. The two CMEs selected for this study occurred on 25 March and 5 April 2008, respectively. For the 25 March event, an M 1.7 class flare, a filament eruption, and hard X-ray (HXR) and soft X-ray (SXR) emissions were observed during the CME onset. The observed CME kinematics and SXR light curve of this event are found to be more consistent with the EF model than with the CA model. For the 5 April event, the SXR light curve shows multiple enhancements, some of which temporally coincide with successive side loop brightening and multiple foot points at the source region after the eruption. The physical connection between the side-loop multiple brightenings and the eruption cannot be determined from the data. Both models produced observationally consistent kinematics profiles, and the EF model correctly predicted the first emission enhancement. Neither model includes multiple brightenings in the formulation.

Education: Human Right or a Privilege?

description: Standards-based reform in the United States demonstrates a preoccupation with numbers and not the needs of students. Reform policies like No Child Left Behind in 2001 and Common Core Standards attempted uniformity without sufficient support. Thus, implementation of these standardization mechanisms are less than stellar. In this paper, I argue that education reform requires a recontextualization. A recontextualization of education considers teacher quality, various types of resources, and how rights are articulated in an educational context. Using social capital theory as my theoretical framework, the significance of social networks, developed relationships, and adaptive learning environments lay the groundwork for progressive education. Based on these findings, I argue that policy makers and curriculum developers provide extensive professional development and malleable standards that empower teacher autonomy by looking to suggestions from the United Nations. The findings in this exploratory design can help inform a recontextualization of educational policy to achieve more substantive education reform.

description: Thermal emission from cold dust grains in giant molecular clouds can be used to probe the physical properties, such as density, temperature and emissivity in star-forming regions. We present the SCUBA-2 shared-risk observations at 450 $μ$m and 850 $μ$m of the Orion A molecular cloud complex taken at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Previous studies showed that molecular emission lines can contribute significantly to the measured fluxes in those continuum bands. We use the HARP $^{12}$CO J=3-2 integrated intensity map for Orion A in order to evaluate the molecular line contamination and its effects on the SCUBA-2 maps. With the corrected fluxes, we have obtained a new spectral index $α$ map for the thermal emission of dust in the well-known integral-shaped filament. Furthermore, we compare a sample of 33 sources, selected over the Orion A molecular cloud complex for their high $^{12}$CO J=3-2 line contamination, to 27 previously identified clumps in OMC-4. This allows us to quantify the effect of line contamination on the ratio of 850 $μ$m to 450 $μ$m flux densities and how it modifies the deduced spectral index of emissivity $β$ for the dust grains. We also show that at least one Spitzer-identified protostellar core in OMC-5 has a $^{12}$CO J=3-2 contamination level of 16 %. Furthermore, we find the strongest contamination level (44 %) towards a young star with disk near OMC-2. This work is part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey.

description: The heterodimeric histone chaperone FACT, consisting of SSRP1 and SPT16, contributes to dynamic nucleosome rearrangements during various DNA-dependent processes including transcription. In search of post-translational modifications that may regulate the activity of FACT, SSRP1 and SPT16 were isolated from Arabidopsis cells and analysed by mass spectrometry. Four acetylated lysine residues could be mapped within the basic C-terminal region of SSRP1, while three phosphorylated serine/threonine residues were identified in the acidic C-terminal region of SPT16. Mutational analysis of the SSRP1 acetylation sites revealed only mild effects. However, phosphorylation of SPT16 that is catalysed by protein kinase CK2, modulates histone interactions. A non-phosphorylatable version of SPT16 displayed reduced histone binding and proved inactive in complementing the growth and developmental phenotypes of spt16 mutant plants. In plants expressing the non-phosphorylatable SPT16 version we detected at a subset of genes enrichment of histone H3 directly upstream of RNA polymerase II transcriptional start sites (TSSs) in a region that usually is nucleosome-depleted. This suggests that some genes require phosphorylation of the SPT16 acidic region for establishing the correct nucleosome occupancy at the TSS of active genes.

description: BACKGROUND: Ethnic minority groups in England have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and have lower vaccination rates than the White British population. We examined whether ethnic differences in COVID-19 mortality in England have continued since the vaccine rollout and to what extent differences in vaccination rates contributed to excess COVID-19 mortality after accounting for other risk factors. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study of 28.8 million adults aged 30-100 years in England. Self-reported ethnicity was obtained from the 2011 Census. The outcome was death involving COVID-19 during the second (8 December 2020 to 12 June 2021) and third wave (13 June 2021 to 1 December 2021). We calculated hazard ratios (HRs) for death involving COVID-19, sequentially adjusting for age, residence type, geographical factors, sociodemographic characteristics, pre-pandemic health, and vaccination status. RESULTS: Age-adjusted HRs of death involving COVID-19 were elevated for most ethnic minority groups during both waves, particularly for groups with lowest vaccination rates (Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Black African, and Black Caribbean). HRs were attenuated after adjusting for geographical factors, sociodemographic characteristics, and pre-pandemic health. Further adjusting for vaccination status substantially reduced residual HRs for Black African, Black Caribbean, and Pakistani groups in the third wave. Fully adjusted HRs only remained elevated for the Bangladeshi group (men: 2.19 [95% CI 1.72-2.78]; women: 2.12 [1.58-2.86]) and Pakistani men (1.24 [1.06-1.46]). CONCLUSIONS: Lower COVID-19 vaccination uptake in several ethnic minority groups may drive some of the differences in COVID-19 mortality compared to White British. Public health strategies to increase vaccination uptake in ethnic minority groups would help reduce inequalities in COVID-19 mortality, which have remained substantial since the start of the vaccination campaign.

description: Introduction International travel has been a major determinant for the introduction of pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) into naïve geographic areas. MRSA clonal complex 239 (CC239) is a highly virulent clone that is predominant in Asia. The objective of this study was to determine the geographic origin of MRSA CC239 isolates recovered from Danish cases with or without a history of international travel during 2004–2016. Materials and methods Human MRSA isolates with spa types t030 and t037 (n = 60) were obtained from the National Reference Laboratory for Antimicrobial Resistance. For each case, the following data were collected from notification forms: sex, age, isolation year, specimen source (screening swab or clinical sample), infection type, and international travel history. All isolates were whole-genome sequenced, and a comparative genome and phylogenetic analysis was performed. Results The majority of isolates originated from skin and soft tissue (SST) infections and screening swabs. In 31 out of 60 cases reported international travel to different parts of the world. Fifty-four isolates belonged to CC239, including sequence type 239 (ST239) (n = 43), ST241 (n = 5), ST4377 (n = 2), ST4378 (n = 1), ST1465 (n = 1), ST343 (n = 1), and ST592 (n = 1). The majority of the CC239 MRSA isolates (40/54) belonged to well-known geographic clades, including the Asian (n = 12), Serbian (n = 11), South American (n = 2), and Turkish (n = 15). Most MRSA ST239 isolates belonging to the highly virulent Asian clade carried sasX and were recovered from individuals who had travelled to Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Conclusion Our data reveal multiple introductions of MRSA CC239 into Denmark through international travel, which highlights the importance of continued genomic surveillance of MRSA in persons returning from international travel to areas where MRSA is endemic.

description: Using Hirota's direct method and Baecklund transformations we construct explicit complex one and two-solutions to the complex Korteweg-de Vries equation, the complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and the complex sine-Gordon equation. The one-soliton solutions of trigonometric and elliptic type turn out to be PT-symmetric when a constant of integration is chosen to be purely imaginary with one special choice corresponding to solutions recently found by Khare and Saxena. We show that alternatively complex PT-symmetric solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries equation may also be constructed alternatively from real solutions to the modified Korteweg-de Vries by means of Miura transformations. The multi-soliton solutions obtained from Hirota's method break the PT-symmetric, whereas those obtained from Baecklund transformations are PT-invariant under certain conditions. Despite the fact that some of the Hamiltonian densities are non-Hermitian, the total energy is found to be positive in all cases, that is irrespective of whether they are PT-symmetric or not. The reason is that the symmetry can be restored by suitable shifts in space-time and the fact that any of our N-soliton solutions may be decomposed into N separate PT-symmetrizable one-soliton solutions.

description: The potential utilization of two-stage sintering for the production of highly dense and pure nickel diniobate (Ni4Nb2O9) ceramics with low firing temperature was demonstrated. Effects of designed sintering conditions on phase formation, densification and microstructure of the ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Archimedes method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. It has been found that minor phase of columbite NiNb2O6 tended to form together with the desired Ni4Nb2O9 phase, depending on sintering conditions. The optimization of sintering conditions could lead to a single-phase Ni4Nb2O9 ceramics with orthorhombic structure. The ceramics doubly sintered at 950/1250 °C for 4 h exhibited maximum density value of 92%. Microstructures with denser angular grain-packing were generally found in both sets of the sintered Ni4Nb2O9 ceramics. However, the grains were irregular in shape when the samples are sintered at 1050/1250 °C. Two-stage sintering was also found to enhance ferroelectric behavior of Ni4Nb2O9 ceramic.

description: We present a novel automatic adaptive aperture photometry algorithm for measuring the total magnitudes of merging galaxies with irregular shapes. First, we use a morphological pattern recognition routine for identifying the shape of an irregular source in a background-subtracted image. Then, we extend the shape of the source by using the Dilation image operation to obtain an aperture that is quasi-homomorphic to the shape of the irregular source. The magnitude measured from the homomorphic aperture would thus have minimal contamination from the nearby background. As a test of our algorithm, we applied our technique to the merging galaxies observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). Our results suggest that the adaptive homomorphic aperture algorithm can be very useful for investigating extended sources with irregular shapes and sources in crowded regions.

description: To reduce Schottky-barrier-induced contact and access resistance, and the impact of charged impurity and phonon scattering on mobility in devices based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), considerable effort has been put into exploring various doping techniques and dielectric engineering using $high-κ$ oxides, respectively. The goal of this work is to demonstrate a $high-κ$ dielectric that serves as an effective n-type charge transfer dopant on monolayer (ML) molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_{2}$). Utilizing amorphous titanium suboxide (ATO) as the '$high-κ$ dopant', we achieved a contact resistance of ~ $180$ $Ω.μm$ which is the lowest reported value for ML $MoS_{2}$. An ON current as high as $240$ $μA/μm$ and field effect mobility as high as $83$ $cm^2/V-s$ were realized using this doping technique. Moreover, intrinsic mobility as high as $102$ $cm^2/V-s$ at $300$ $K$ and $501$ $cm^2/V-s$ at $77$ $K$ were achieved after ATO encapsulation which are among the highest mobility values reported on ML $MoS_{2}$. We also analyzed the doping effect of ATO films on ML $MoS_{2}$, a phenomenon which is absent when stoichiometric $TiO_{2}$ is used, using ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations which shows excellent agreement with our experimental findings. Based on the interfacial-oxygen-vacancy mediated doping as seen in the case of $high-κ$ ATO - ML $MoS_{2}$, we propose a mechanism for the mobility enhancement effect observed in TMD-based devices after encapsulation in a $high-κ$ dielectric environment.

Defining RFRA: An Implementation Analysis of the Religious Freedom Resoration Act (RFRA) in Healthcare Policy
Creators: name: Bayness, Gabrielle
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 has been a significant source of debate among legal scholars and policymakers in its application to healthcare policy. In particular, the infamous ruling Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014) raised the question of whether RFRA should continue to exist if it would result in religious argumentation restricting access to contraception and other forms of healthcare. This paper is an analysis of the implementation of RFRA in healthcare policy. It uses qualitative coding to analyze the argumentation of RFRA to determine how the statute is interpreted and mechanized. The findings from this research explain two issues which I call the “perception problem” and the “facilitation issue”. Observing how the issue with RFRA is rooted in its inherently contradictory argumentation, the policy implications point us to an amendment of RFRA.

description: Present-day developments, in electrical power transmission and distribution, require considerations of the status quo. In other meaning, international regulations enforce increasing of reliability and reducing of environment impact, correspondingly they motivate developing of dependable systems. Power grids especially intelligent (smart grids) ones become industrial solutions that follow standardized development. The International standardization, in the field of power transmission and distribution, improve technology influences. The rise of dedicated standards for SAS (Substation Automation Systems) communications, such as the leading International Electro-technical Commission standard IEC 61850, enforces modern technological trends in this field. Within this standard, a constraint of low ETE (End-to-End) latency should be respected, and time-critical status transmission must be achieved. This experimental study emphasis on IEC 61850 SAS communication standard, e.g. IEC 61850 GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events), to implement an investigational method to determine the protection communication delay. This method observes GOOSE behaviour by adopting monitoring and analysis capabilities. It is observed by using network test equipment, i.e. SPAN (Switch Port Analyser) and TAP (Test Access Point) devices, with on-the-shelf available hardware and software solutions.
In Search of Standardised Scales

description: Standardised scales (also known as summated scales or validated questionnaires) are a group of related questions that measure an underlying concept (e.g., wellbeing, relationship satisfaction, self-esteem). These scales are frequently used in quantitative research because they allow researchers to reliably measure the same concept across samples and over time. Metadata for standardised scales (e.g., title, author, questions) can be difficult to obtain as information is often scattered across multiple sources, and permission is sometimes required to access the scale. Some scales have multiple variants (i.e., versions which include a smaller subset of questions), and information about the original scale may be hard to locate. It is also challenging to find information about where these scales have been used in research studies. CLOSER aims to make this information more easily accessible to researchers by adding standardised scale metadata to the DDI-compliant metadata platform CLOSER Discovery. The first step in this process included gathering metadata for several of the standardised scales used by the CLOSER studies and displaying these on the CLOSER Technical Wiki: https://wiki.ucl.ac.uk/display/CLOS/Scales. This poster will highlight the importance of standardised scale metadata, the steps taken to create this metadata, and the progress made.

description: We present an extensive survey for rapid pulsators among Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars in omega Cen. The observations performed consist of nearly 100 hours of time-series photometry, as well as low-resolution spectroscopy. We obtained photometry for some 300 EHB stars. Based on the spectroscopy, we derive reliable values of log g, Teff and log(N(He)/N(H)) for 38 targets, as well as estimates of the effective temperature for another nine targets. The survey uncovered a total of five rapid variables with multi-periodic oscillations between 85 and 125 s. Spectroscopically, they form a homogeneous group of hydrogen-rich subdwarf O stars clustered between 48,000 and 54,000 K. For each of the variables we are able to measure between two and three significant pulsations believed to constitute independent harmonic oscillations. In addition to the rapid variables, we found an EHB star with an apparently periodic luminosity variation of ~2700 s, which we tentatively suggest may be caused by ellipsoidal variations in a close binary. Using the overlapping photometry and spectroscopy sample we are able to map an empirical omega Cen instability strip. This can be directly compared to the pulsation driving predicted from the Montreal "second-generation" models. We find that the region where p-mode excitation occurs is bifurcated, and the well-known instability strip between 29,000-36,000 K where the rapid subdwarf B pulsators are found is complemented by a second one above 50,000 K. While significant challenges remain at the quantitative level, we believe that the same kappa-mechanism that drives the pulsations in hot B subdwarfs is also responsible for the excitation of the rapid oscillations observed in the omega Cen variables.

A statistical study of the subsurface structure and eruptivity of solar active regions

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A statistical study of 77 solar active regions (ARs) is conducted to investigate the existence of identifiable correlations between the subsurface structural disturbances and the activity level of the active regions. The disturbances examined in this study are $$, $$, and $$. where $Γ_1$ and $c$ are the thermodynamic properties of first adiabatic index and sound speed modified by magnetic field, respectively. The averages are over three depth layers: $0.975-0.98 R_\odot$, $0.98-0.99 R_\odot$ and $0.99-0.995 R_\odot$ to represent the structural disturbances in that layer. The level of the surface magnetic activity is measured by the Magnetic Activity Index (MAI) of active region and the relative and absolute MAI differences (rdMAI and dMAI) between the active and quiet regions. The eruptivity of each active region is quantified by its Flare Index, total number of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and total kinetic energy of the CMEs. The existence and level of the correlations are evaluated by scatter plots and correlation coefficients. No definitive correlation can be claimed from the results. While a weak positive trend is visible between dMAI and $$ and $$ in the layer $0.975-0.98 R_\odot$, their correlation levels, being approximately 0.6, are not sufficiently high to justify the correlation. Some subsurface disturbances are seen to increase with eruptivity indices among ARs with high eruptivity. The statistical significance of such trend, however, cannot be ascertained due to the small number of very eruptive ARs in our sample.

description: Introduction – There are a variety of symptoms associated with this serious idiosyncratic adverse reaction, including fever, skin eruption, lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, organ involvement, and hematologic abnormalities which clinical manifestations occur two weeks to two months after a triggering drug was administrated. Methods – Presented the case of a 50-year-old male who developed severe generalized erythroderma with exfoliative scaling skin erythema and maculopapular eruptions all over the body. This was associated with fever, eosinophilia, and leukocytosis after olanzapine ingestion. Results – This case called Dress syndrome, and the atypical antipsychotic olanzapine is one of the causes of this illness. This adverse effect is life-threatening, so early diagnosis reduces morbidity and mortality. Discuss – It is imperative that health care professionals and caregivers are aware of the symptoms of such life-threatening reactions during and after treatment. It is also necessary to understand the pathogenesis of diseases in order to develop personalized treatment plans. The medication history of patients with suspected DRESS must be checked. Conclusion – Dress syndrome is a serious and potentially devastating side effect of psychotropic medication. It is possible to experience adverse drug reactions after one dose or prolonged use of a drug or following a combination of two or more drugs. It is important for health care professionals and caregivers to be aware of the symptoms of such life -threatening reactions as part of the aftercare process during treatment. In order to develop personalized treatment plans, more research is necessary to elucidate its pathogenesis. It is imperative to check the medication history of patients with suspected DRESS. Usually, a patient who has previously taken a suspected drug will experience symptoms within two weeks of taking it.

description: Topological Dirac semimetal is a newly discovered class of materials and has attracted intense attentions. This material can be viewed as a three-dimensional (3D) analogue of graphene and has linear energy dispersion in bulk, leading to a range of exotic transport properties. Here we report direct quantum transport evidence of 3D Dirac semimetal phase of layered material ZrTe5 by angular dependent magnetoresistance measurements under high magnetic fields up to 31 Tesla. We observed very clear negative longitudinal magnetoresistance induced by chiral anomaly under the condition of the magnetic field aligned only along the current direction. Pronounced Shubnikov-de Hass (SdH) quantum oscillations in both longitudinal magnetoresistance and transverse Hall resistance were observed, revealing anisotropic light cyclotron masses and high mobility of the system. In particular, a nontrivial π-Berry phase in the SdH gives clear evidence for 3D Dirac semimetal phase. Furthermore, we observed clear Landau Level splitting under high magnetic field, suggesting possible splitting of Dirac point into Weyl points due to broken time reversal symmetry. Our results indicate that ZrTe5 is an ideal platform to study 3D massless Dirac and Weyl fermions in a layered compound.

description: We discuss regular particle arrays as nanostructured front layers for 3rd generation photovoltaic devices. A rigorous plane-wave method is used to investigate multi-type particle layers combining different radii and configurations. The absorbance is enhanced compared to the bare wafer and on mixing particles we demonstrate a broadband boost in the absorbance within the photo-active region. Efficiency enhancement in terms of short circuit current is studied for varying geometries. Si multi-type layers achieved up to 33% improvement without yet standard anti-reflection coatings. Metal multi-type layers show strong parasitic absorption and boost the absorbance only in narrow wavelength regions and no efficiency enhancement is observed.

description: The experimentally available data on the alpha decay half lives and Q? values for 96 superheavy nuclei are used to fix the parameters for a modified version of the Brown empirical formula through two fitting procedures which enables its comparison with similar fits using Viola-Seaborg and Royer formulas. The new expressions provide very good agreement with experimental data having fewer or the same number of parameters. All formulas with the obtained parameters are then extrapolated to generate half lives predictions for 125 unknown superheavy alpha emitters. The nuclei where the employed empirical formulas maximally or minimally diverge are pointed out and a selection of 36 nuclei with exceptional superposition of predictions was made for experimental reference.
