description: This paper presents a comprehensive classification of identity management approaches. The classification makes use of three axes: topology, type of user, and type of environment. The analysis of existing approaches using the resulting identity management cube (IMC) highlights the trade-off between user control and trust in attributes. A comparative analysis of IMC and established models identifies missing links between the approaches. The IMC is extended by a morphology of identity management, describing characteristics of cooperation. The morphology is then mapped to the life cycle of users and identity management in a further step. These classifications are practically underlined with current approaches. Both methods combined provide a comprehensive characterization of identity management approaches. The methods help to choose suited approaches and implement needed tools.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a vast number of variants associated with various complex human diseases and traits. However, most of these GWAS variants reside in non-coding regions producing no proteins, making the interpretation of these variants a daunting challenge. Prior evidence indicates that a subset of non-coding variants detected within or near cis-regulatory elements (e.g., promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators) might play a key role in disease etiology by regulating gene expression. Advanced sequencing- and imaging-based technologies, together with powerful computational methods, enabling comprehensive characterization of regulatory DNA interactions, have substantially improved our understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) genome architecture. Recent literature witnesses plenty of examples where using chromosome conformation capture (3C)-based technologies successfully links non-coding variants to their target genes and prioritizes relevant tissues or cell types. These examples illustrate the critical capability of 3D genome organization in annotating non-coding GWAS variants. This review discusses how 3D genome organization information contributes to elucidating the potential roles of non-coding GWAS variants in disease etiology.

description: In this paper, we investigate the problem of hyperspectral (HS) image spatial super-resolution via deep learning. Particularly, we focus on how to embed the high-dimensional spatial-spectral information of HS images efficiently and effectively. Specifically, in contrast to existing methods adopting empirically-designed network modules, we formulate HS embedding as an approximation of the posterior distribution of a set of carefully-defined HS embedding events, including layer-wise spatial-spectral feature extraction and network-level feature aggregation. Then, we incorporate the proposed feature embedding scheme into a source-consistent super-resolution framework that is physically-interpretable, producing lightweight PDE-Net, in which high-resolution (HR) HS images are iteratively refined from the residuals between input low-resolution (LR) HS images and pseudo-LR-HS images degenerated from reconstructed HR-HS images via probability-inspired HS embedding. Extensive experiments over three common benchmark datasets demonstrate that PDE-Net achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art methods. Besides, the probabilistic characteristic of this kind of networks can provide the epistemic uncertainty of the network outputs, which may bring additional benefits when used for other HS image-based applications.

description: Introduction Increased abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) implies an adverse cardio-metabolic profile. We examined the association of abdominal VAT parameters and all-cause mortality risk. Methods We systematically searched four databases. We performed citations/articles screening, data abstraction, and quality assessment in duplicate and independently (CRD42020205021). Results We included 12 cohorts, the majority used computed tomography to assess abdominal VAT area. Six cohorts with a mean age ≤ 65 years, examining all-cause mortality risk per increment in VAT area (cm2) or volume (cm3), showed a 11-98% relative risk increase with higher VAT parameters. However, the association lost significance after adjusting for glycemic indices, body mass index, or other fat parameters. In 4 cohorts with a mean age >65 years, the findings on mortality were inconsistent. Conversely, in two cohorts (mean age 73-77 years), a higher VAT density, was inversely proportional to VAT area, and implied a higher mortality risk. Conclusion A high abdominal VAT area seems to be associated with increased all-cause mortality in individuals ≤ 65 years, possibly mediated by metabolic complications, and not through an independent effect. This relationship is weaker and may reverse in older individuals, most likely secondary to confounding bias and reverse causality. An individual participant data meta-analysis is needed to confirm our findings, and to define an abdominal VAT area cutoff implying increased mortality risk.

description: A pulsed electron lens produces a betatron tune shift along a hadron bunch as a function of the longitudinal coordinates, which is a longitudinal detuning. An example of transverse detuning are the tune shifts due to octupole magnets. This paper considers a pulsed electron lens as a measure to mitigate the head-tail instabilities. Using a detailed analytical description within a Vlasov formalism, the coherent properties of the longitudinal and transverse detuning are presented. The analytical predictions are compared with the results of the particle tracking simulations. A pulsed electron lens is demonstrated to be a source of tune spread with two components: a static one, leading to Landau damping; and a dynamic one, leading to an effective impedance modification, which we demonstrate analytically and in our particle tracking simulations. The effective impedance modification can be important for beam stability due to devices causing a longitudinal detuning, especially for nonzero head-tail modes. The Vlasov formalism is extended to include the combination of longitudinal and transverse detuning. As a possible application at the SIS100 heavy-ion synchrotron (FAIR at GSI Darmstadt, Germany), a combination of a pulsed electron lens with octupole magnets is considered.

description: We present in this paper a case study of the probabilistic approach to model-based diagnosis. Here, the diagnosed system is a real-world electrical power system (EPS), i.e., the Advanced Diagnostic and Prognostic Testbed (ADAPT) located at the NASA Ames Research Center. Our probabilistic approach is formally well founded and based on Bayesian networks (BNs) and arithmetic circuits (ACs). We pay special attention to meeting two of the main challenges often associated with real-world application of model-based diagnosis technologies: model development and real-time reasoning. To address the challenge of model development, we develop a systematic approach to representing EPSs as BNs, supported by an easy-to-use specification language. To address the real-time reasoning challenge, we compile BNs into ACs. AC evaluation (ACE) supports real-time diagnosis by being predictable, fast, and exact. In experiments with the ADAPT BN, which contains 503 discrete nodes and 579 edges and produces accurate results, the time taken to compute the most probable explanation using ACs has a mean of 0.2625 ms and a standard deviation of 0.2028 ms. In comparative experiments, we found that, while the variable elimination and join tree propagation algorithms also perform very well in the ADAPT setting, ACE was an order of magnitude or more faster.

description: A linear-to-circular polarization converter with half transmission and half reflection using a single-layered metamaterial is theoretically and numerically demonstrated. The unit cell of the metamaterial consists of two coupled split-ring resonators with identical dimensions. A theoretical analysis based on an electrical circuit model of the coupled split-ring resonators indicates that the linear-to-circular polarization converter is achieved when the magnetic coupling between the split-ring resonators is set to a certain strength. A finite-difference time-domain simulation reveals that the single-layered metamaterial behaves as the linear-to-circular polarization converter and that the polarization converter has the combined characteristics of a half mirror and a quarter-wave plate.

description: This multiple case study investigated a peer-based intervention and instruction (PBII) for social play, Play Time/Social Time (PT/ST), in four inclusive Swedish preschools. PT/ST contains 28 learning activities where children playfully practice six social skills with significance for social play and friendships. One teacher in each preschool was trained and instructed to implement PT/ST, two with coaching early in the implementation, and two without. At each preschool, one child with special educational needs (SEN) in social play (n = 4) and one or two socially skilled peers (n = 6) participated. The study aimed to explore how the teachers perceived the influence of PT/ST on social engagement and social play skills in the children with SEN, with/without coaching, and if PT/ST supported social play between the children with and without SEN. It also aimed to examine the feasibility of PT/ST and the influence on preschool inclusion quality in the preschools, with/without coaching. Observational assessments and video observations were used. The results indicate that PT/ST was beneficial for the children with SEN to engage in social play with peers and practice social skills, and for the preschool’s inclusion quality regarding involvement in peer interactions and guidance in play, both with/without coaching for the teachers. However, the coaching strengthened the intervention fidelity. Social play occurred between the children with and without SEN in activities where they seemed similarly attracted by the toys and play materials and when they all could engage in the play goals, tasks, and roles. For this, they sometimes needed instructions and encouragement from the teachers.
Reconstructing bulk equation of motion using CFT modular Hamiltonians

description: In the framework of bulk reconstruction, we elucidate the relationship between the action of CFT modular Hamiltonians on bulk operators, the possible equation of motion for the bulk operators, and the charge distribution at infinity corresponding to such bulk fields. In particular for scalar fields interacting with gravity or with gauge fields, we show how CFT considerations of the action of the modular Hamiltonian constrain the possible bulk equation of motion to be consistent with bulk gauge invariance and diffeomorphism invariance. In fact we show that requiring that the action of the modular Hamiltonian on a dressed bulk scalar operator be compatible with some unknown simple equation of motion, fixes, under reasonable assumptions, both the equation of motion and the action of the modular Hamiltonian once the first order $\frac{1}{N}$ terms are known.

description: Syphilis control programs and research received fewer resources and attention compared to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the pre-pandemic era. The neglect of syphilis within comprehensive STI control efforts may be related to diagnostic (poor diagnostics), historical (legacies of racism in research), public health (limited partner services), and social problems (limited public engagement). At the same time, there are increasingly compelling reasons to prioritize syphilis control programs and research by harnessing lessons learned and advances during COVID-19. The closure of many STI facilities has accelerated new syphilis diagnostic pathways (e.g., syphilis self-testing), providing new ways for people to be screened outside of clinics. COVID-19 has underlined health inequities that fuel syphilis transmission, providing an opportunity to reckon with the historical legacy of racism that is linked to syphilis research. COVID-19 partner tracing efforts have also contributed to additional resources for partner services which may enhance syphilis control efforts. Finally, COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of public engagement, making the case for greater public involvement in syphilis control and prevention programs. Urgent action is needed to prioritize syphilis control in a wide range of settings.

description: We compare numerical methods for solving the radiative transfer equation in the context of the photoionization of intergalactic gaseous hydrogen and helium by a central radiating source. Direct integration of the radiative transfer equation and solutions using photon packets are examined, both for solutions to the time-dependent radiative transfer equation and in the infinite-speed-of-light approximation. The photon packet schemes are found to be more generally computationally efficient than a direct integration scheme. Whilst all codes accurately describe the growth rate of hydrogen and helium ionization zones, it is shown that a fully time-dependent method is required to capture the gas temperature and ionization structure in the near zone of a source when an ionization front expands at a speed close to the speed of light. Applied to Quasi-Stellar Objects in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), temperature differences as high as $5\times10^4$ K result in the near-zone for solutions of the time-dependent radiative transfer equation compared with solutions in the infinite-speed-of-light approximation. Smaller temperature differences are found following the nearly full photoionization of helium in gas in which the hydrogen was already ionized and the helium was singly ionized. Variations found in the temperature and ionization structure far from the source, where the gas is predominantly neutral, may affect some predictions for 21-cm EoR experiments.

description: Unlike radiowave antennas, optical nanoantennas so far cannot be fed by electrical generators. Instead, they are driven by light or via optically active materials in their proximity. Here, we demonstrate direct electrical driving of an optical nanoantenna featuring an atomic-scale feed gap. Upon applying a voltage, quantum tunneling of electrons across the feed gap creates broadband quantum shot noise. Its optical frequency components are efficiently converted into photons by the antenna. We demonstrate that the properties of the emitted photons are fully controlled by the antenna architecture, and that the antenna improves the quantum efficiency by up to two orders of magnitude with respect to a non-resonant reference system. Our work represents a new paradigm for interfacing electrons and photons at the nanometer scale, e.g. for on-chip wireless data communication, electrically driven single- and multiphoton sources, as well as for background-free linear and nonlinear spectroscopy and sensing with nanometer resolution.

description: It has been recently pointed out that in certain axion models it is possible to suppress simultaneously both the axion couplings to nucleons and electrons, realising the so-called astrophobic axion scenarios, wherein the tight bounds from SN1987A and from stellar evolution of red giants and white dwarfs are greatly relaxed. So far, however, the conditions for realising astrophobia have only been set out in tree-level analyses. Here we study whether these conditions can still be consistently implemented once renormalization group effects are included in the running of axion couplings. We find that axion astrophobia keeps holding, albeit within fairly different parameter space regions, and we provide analytical insights into this result. Given that astrophobic axion models generally feature flavour violating axion couplings, we also assess the impact of renormalization group effects on axion-mediated flavour violating observables.

description: Theories of non-linear electrodynamics naturally describe deviations from Maxwell's theory in the strong field regime. Among these, of special interest is the recently discovered ModMax electrodynamics, which is a unique 1-parametric generalization of Maxwell's theory that possesses the conformal invariance as well as the electromagnetic duality. In this paper we construct the asymptotically AdS accelerated black holes in this theory and study their thermodynamics - providing thus a first example of accelerated solutions coupled to non-linear electrodynamics. Our study opens a window towards studying radiative spacetimes in non-linear electromagnetic regime as well as raises new challenges for their corresponding holographic interpretation.

description: We present an angle-resolved photoemission study of the electronic band structure of the excitonic insulator Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$, as well as its evolution upon Sulfur doping. Our experimental data show that while the excitonic insulating phase is still preserved at a Sulfur-doping level of 25$\%$, such phase is heavily suppressed when there is a substantial amount, $\sim$ 50$\%$, of S-doping at liquid nitrogen temperatures. Moreover, our photon energy-dependent measurements reveal a clear three dimensionality of the electronic structure, both in Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$ and Ta$_2$Ni(Se$_{1-x}$S$_x$)$_5$ ($x=0.25, 0.50$) compounds. This suggests a reduction of electrical and thermal conductivities, which might make these compounds less suitable for electronic transport applications.

description: In the model calculations of heavy element nucleosynthesis processes the nuclear reaction rates are taken from statistical model calculations which utilize various nuclear input parameters. It is found that in the case of reactions involving alpha particles the calculations bear a high uncertainty owing to the largely unknown low energy alpha-nucleus optical potential. Experiments are typically restricted to higher energies and therefore no direct astrophysical consequences can be drawn. In the present work a (p,alpha) reaction is used for the first time to study the alpha-nucleus optical potential. The measured 64Zn(p,alpha)61Cu cross section is uniquely sensitive to the alpha-nucleus potential and the measurement covers the whole astrophysically relevant energy range. By the comparison to model calculations, direct evidence is provided for the incorrectness of global optical potentials used in astrophysical models.

description: It is thought that the active physiological regulation of the chemistry of a parent fluid is an important process in the biomineralization of scleractinian corals. Biological regulation of calcification fluid pH (pHCF) and other carbonate chemistry parameters ([CO32−]CF, DICCF, and ΩCF) may be challenged by CO2 driven acidification and temperature. Here, we examine the combined influence of changing temperature and CO2 on calcifying fluid regulation in four common Caribbean coral species—Porites astreoides, Pseudodiploria strigosa, Undaria tenuifolia, and Siderastrea siderea. We utilize skeletal boron geochemistry (B/Ca and δ11B) to probe the pHCF, [CO32−]CF, and DICCF regulation in these corals, and δ13C to track changes in the sources of carbon for calcification. Temperature was found to not influence pHCF regulation across all pCO2 treatments in these corals, in contrast to recent studies on Indo-Pacific pocilloporid corals. We find that [DIC]CF is significantly lower at higher temperatures in all the corals, and that the higher temperature was associated with depletion of host energy reserves, suggesting [DIC]CF reductions may result from reduced input of respired CO2 to the DIC pool for calcification. In addition, δ13C data suggest that under high temperature and CO2 conditions, algal symbiont photosynthesis continues to influence the calcification pool and is associated with low [DIC]CF in P. strigosa and P. astreoides. In P. astreoides this effect is also associated with an increase in chlorophyll a concentration in coral tissues at higher temperatures. These observations collectively support the assertion that physicochemical control over coral calcifying fluid chemistry is coupled to host and symbiont physiological responses to environmental change, and reveals interspecific differences in the extent and nature of this coupling.

description: D3.1 DETECTION MECHANISMS TO IDENTIFY DATA BIASES AND EXPLORATORY STUDIES ABOUT DIFFERENT DATA QUALITY TRADE-OFFS FOR AI-BASED SYSTEMS The data quality used for training AI models is critical to guarantee robust performance. Besides the large body of well-established methods for data fusion, preparation and augmentation, additional data characteristics can contribute towards making AI models trustworthy. Data fairness and transparency are key aspects to investigate when analyzing the features extracted from the data used by the model to support their autonomous decision-making. Advancements in model training using distributed devices introduce a higher level of complexity when dissecting AI model logic. This document investigates fairness and transparency methods to detect possible biases introduced as models are re-trained over time. Through rigorous benchmarks and studies that consider different application scenarios, we explore the performance of these methods and data trade-offs that impact the overall model inference process. Our results suggest that detecting induced and non-induced changes over data used for training the models is possible. This requires, however, augmenting current standard machine learning pipelines with components that analyze data quality throughout the pipeline from input data to model deployment.

description: Severe burn injury leads to a cascade of local and systemic immune responses that trigger an extreme state of immune dysfunction, leaving the patient highly susceptible to acute and chronic infection. When combined with inhalation injury, burn patients have higher mortality and a greater chance of developing secondary respiratory complications including infection. No animal model of combined burn and inhalation injury (B+I) exists that accurately mirrors the human clinical picture, nor are there any effective immunotherapies or predictive models of the risk of immune dysfunction. Our earlier work showed that the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is activated early after burn injury, and its chemical blockade at injury reduced subsequent chronic bacterial susceptibility. It is unclear if mTOR plays a role in the exacerbated immune dysfunction seen after B+I injury. We aimed to: (1) characterize a novel murine model of B+I injury, and (2) investigate the role of mTOR in the immune response after B+I injury. Pulmonary and systemic immune responses to B+I were characterized in the absence or presence of mTOR inhibition at the time of injury.

description: Entre 2015 et 2019 s'est dessinée une résistance sociale au Québec et ailleurs dans le monde, période durant laquelle la remise à l'avant-plan d'enjeux féministes dans le champ social et médiatique a su trouver des échos dans la dramaturgie des femmes. La liberté de choix apparaît comme un des enjeux les plus marquants; j'en ferai le centre de cette thèse. À partir d'une analyse dramatique féministe de huit pièces écrites par des autrices québécoises durant cette période, je montrerai la prégnance du contexte socio-politique actuel permettant d'affirmer que la liberté de choix s'écrit souvent en résonance avec des idées néolibérales et postféministes, mais qu'elle se trouve aussi abordée, parfois, sous un angle plus militant et critique. La première partie a pour sujet le néolibéralisme et le thème du travail des femmes et montre comment la liberté de choix se voit mise en relation, entre autres, avec la question de la productivité dans trois pièces. Le contexte d'émergence et les idées qui façonnent le postféminisme occupent la seconde partie, de manière à faire ressortir l'influence du postféminisme sur la liberté de choix, relativement aux représentations du corps et de la sexualité des femmes dans trois autres textes dramatiques. La troisième et dernière partie de cette thèse porte sur le militantisme féministe au cœur de #MeToo et sur les effets de ce mouvement sur la prise de parole des femmes, à la fois dans l'espace public et dans deux textes dramatiques. Le féminisme matérialiste sert de base théorique à partir de laquelle la thèse relie les autres théories critiques convoquées, tirées de la sociologie, des études culturelles et des études théâtrales. La méthodologie repose en grande partie sur les outils d'analyse dramatique de Patrice Pavis, fondés sur la rhétorique. Cette thèse souhaite ainsi montrer les tensions et les ambivalences au sein d'un corpus de textes dramatiques à caractère féministe, qui critique à certains égards le contexte social dans lequel il s'inscrit, tout en reconduisant un discours néolibéral et postféministe.

description: Shock formations are observed in granular avalanches when supercritical flow merges into a region of subcritical flow. In this paper we employ a shock-capturing numerical scheme for the one-dimensional Savage-Hutter theory of granular flow to describe this phenomenon. A Lagrangian moving mesh scheme applied to the non-conservative form of the equations reproduces smooth solutions of these free boundary problems very well, but fails when shocks are formed. A non-oscillatory central difference (NOC) scheme with TVD limiter or WENO cell reconstruction for the conservative equations is therefore introduced. For the avalanche free boundary problems it must be combined with a front-tracking method, developed here, to properly describe the margin evolution. It is found that this NOC scheme combined with the front-tracking module reproduces both the shock wave and the smooth solution accurately. A piecewise quadratic WENO reconstruction improves the smoothness of the solution near local extrema. The schemes are checked against exact solutions for (1) an upward moving shock wave, (2) the motion of a parabolic cap down an inclined plane and (3) the motion of a parabolic cap down a curved slope ending in a flat run-out region, where a shock is formed as the avalanche comes to a halt.

description: The motion of charged particles in spacetimes containing a submanifold of constant positive or negative curvature is considered, with the electromagnetic tensor proportional to the volume two-form form of the submanifold. In the positive curvature case, this describes spherically symmetric spacetimes with a magnetic monopole, while in the negative curvature case, it is a hyperbolic spacetime with magnetic field uniform along hyperbolic surfaces. Constants of motion are found by considering Poisson brackets defined on a phase space with gauge-covariant momenta. In the spherically-symmetric case, we find a correspondence between the trajectories on the Poincaré cone with equatorial geodesics in a conical defect spacetime. In the hyperbolic case, the analogue of the Poincaré cone is defined as a surface in an auxiliary Minkowski spacetime. Explicit examples are solved for the Minkowski, $\mathrm{AdS}_4\times S^2$, and the hyperbolic AdS-Reissner--Nordström spacetimes.

description: Mobile produce markets are increasingly popular retail vendors used for providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables (F&V) in under-resourced communities; however, evaluation is limited due to design and implementation challenges. This protocol presents the original design of a randomized control trial aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the evidence-based Veggie Van (VV) mobile market model. Nine US community partner organizations were asked to partner with four community sites serving lower-income areas. Sites are randomized to either intervention or control. Intervention sites will host a mobile market for one year while the control sites will host planning events, with the goal to open a market afterward. Eligible participants are aged ≥ 18, the primary household shopper, live nearby/regularly frequent the site, and have expressed interest in learning about a mobile market. The primary outcome, F&V consumption, will be assessed via dietary recall at baseline and 12 months and compared between the intervention and control sites. This research advances work on the VV model and methods for mobile market evaluation with the addition of more robust measures and the study design. Determining the effectiveness of the VV model is imperative to justify taking it to scale to enhance the impact of mobile markets.

description: Software Health Management (SWHM) is an emerging field which addresses the critical need to detect, diagnose, predict, and mitigate adverse events due to software faults and failures. These faults could arise for numerous reasons including coding errors, unanticipated faults or failures in hardware, or problematic interactions with the external environment. This paper demonstrates a novel approach to software health management based on a rigorous Bayesian formulation that monitors the behavior of software and operating system, performs probabilistic diagnosis, and provides information about the most likely root causes of a failure or software problem. Translation of the Bayesian
network model into an efficient data structure, an arithmetic circuit, makes it possible to perform SWHM on resource-restricted embedded computing platforms as found in aircraft, unmanned aircraft, or satellites. SWHM is especially important for safety critical systems such as aircraft control systems. In this paper, we demonstrate our Bayesian SWHM system on three realistic scenarios from an aircraft control system: (1) aircraft file-system based faults, (2) signal handling faults, and (3) navigation faults due to IMU (inertial measurement unit) failure or compromised GPS (Global Positioning System) integrity. We show that the method successfully detects and diagnoses faults in these scenarios. We also discuss the importance of verification and validation of SWHM systems.

description: In this letter, we consider the problem of field estimation using binary measurements. Previous work has formulated the problem as a parameter estimation problem, with the parameter estimation carried out in an online manner using sequential Monte Carlo techniques. In the current work, we consider an alternative approach to the parameter estimation based on online logistic regression. The developed algorithm is less computationally intensive than the sequential Monte Carlo approach, while having more reliable estimation performance.
