description: This paper trials new experimental methods for the analysis of natural language reasoning and the (re)development of critical ordinary language philosophy in the wake of J.L. Austin. Philosophical arguments and thought experiments are strongly shaped by default pragmatic inferences, including stereotypical inferences. Austin suggested that contextually inappropriate stereotypical inferences are at the root of some philosophical paradoxes and problems, and that these can be resolved by exposing those verbal fallacies. This paper builds on recent efforts to empirically document inappropriate stereotypical inferences that may drive philosophical arguments. We demonstrate that previously employed questionnaire-based output measures do not suffice to exclude relevant confounds. We then report an experiment that combines reading time measurements with plausibility ratings. The study seeks to provide evidence of inappropriate stereotypical inferences from appearance verbs that have been suggested to lie at the root of the influential ‘argument from illusion’. Our findings support a diagnostic reconstruction of this argument. They provide the missing component for proof of concept for an experimental implementation of critical ordinary language philosophy that is in line with the ambitions of current ‘evidential’ experimental philosophy.

description: We investigate the single normal impurity effect in a superconductor by the holographic method. When the size of impurity is much smaller than the host superconductor, we can reproduce the Anderson theorem, which states that a conventional s-wave superconductor is robust to a normal (non-magnetic) impurity with small impurity strength. However, by increasing the size of the impurity in a fixed-size host superconductor, we find a decreasing critical temperature $T_c$ of the host superconductor, which agrees with the results in condensed matter literatures. More importantly, the phase transition at the critical impurity strength (or the critical temperature) is of zeroth order.

description: Quantifying the distribution and morphology of tau protein structures in brain tissues is key to diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and its subtypes. Recently, deep learning (DL) models such as UNet have been successfully used for automatic segmentation of histopathological whole slide images (WSI) of biological tissues. In this study, we propose a DL-based methodology for semantic segmentation of tau lesions (i.e., neuritic plaques) in WSI of postmortem patients with AD. The state of the art in semantic segmentation of neuritic plaques in human WSI is very limited. Our study proposes a baseline able to generate a significant advantage for morphological analysis of these tauopathies for further stratification of AD patients. Essential discussions concerning biomarkers (ALZ50 versus AT8 tau antibodies), the imaging modality (different slide scanner resolutions), and the challenge of weak annotations are addressed within this seminal study. The analysis of the impact of context in plaque segmentation is important to understand the role of the micro-environment for reliable tau protein segmentation. In addition, by integrating visual interpretability, we are able to explain how the network focuses on a region of interest (ROI), giving additional insights to pathologists. Finally, the release of a new expert-annotated database and the code (\url{https://github.com/aramis-lab/miccai2022-stratifiad.git}) will be helpful for the scientific community to accelerate the development of new pipelines for human WSI processing in AD.

description: This paper presents a methodology to recover the waste heat from the diesel engine exhaust gas via triple tube heat exchanger (TTHE) with various intermediate tubes like corrugated tube, helically finned tube, dimpled tube, protrusion tube, and then compared with double tube heat exchanger numerically and experimentally. Due to its practical catastrophic nature by application, only limited work has been done in TTHEs. In many studies, the dimpled tube is used for only fluid flows and not used for gaseous states due to boundary layer problems. In TTHE, the intermediate tube carries exhaust gases of diesel engine, while the inside and outside of the tube carries water, respectively, where the Reynolds number (Re) varyies from 4,000 to 11,000. The rate of heat transfer and fluid flow attributes of TTHE for counter flow and parallel flow orders with different mass flow rates are investigated. The temperature variations of plain tube and different intermediate tubes are analyzed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and also experimentally. The outer pipe’s outer diameter is 101 mm, intermediate pipe’s outer diameter is 76 mm, and inner pipe’s outer diameter is 50 mm and the thickness of each of the three tubes is 1.5 mm with length of 2,000 mm singly. The TTHE thermal performances and fluid flow characteristics are expressed by the Nusselt number (Nu), Effectiveness (e), and overall heat transfer coefficient (U). The results obtained numerically by CFD and the experimental value of TTHE were compared with the double tube heat exchanger. The counter flow kind of TTHE with dimpled tube geometry produces the best results. The greatest waste heat recovered using dimpled tube TTHE is roughly 6.279 kW at full load circumstances, according to the findings.

description: The social determinant of health of neighborhood and built environment is the influence of a community’s structure on the health of a community. Healthy People 2030 has recognized a need to increase the proportion of children who achieve the recommended amount of daily physical activity. We propose a strategy to implement the Fit2Play Program to increase physical activity for students in Durham County Parks. Fit2Play was first introduced in Miami-Dade County parks and has shown evidence that participating in regular physical activity can reduce blood pressure, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Participants also showed improved health and wellness knowledge. We aim to increase daily physical activity within youth of color in Durham County in order to prevent and decrease prevalence of chronic diseases through an evidence-based Durham County Parks after-school program.

description: Fault occurrences in photovoltaic (PV) modules can hinder the performance of the system, resulting in reduced lifetime and performance of the modules. PV module (PVM) faults if unmonitored can affect the power transmission through the system, thereby creating short circuits that can be hazardous. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based monitoring is one of the most common and widely adopted techniques to detect faults in PVM. Visual images of PVM contain the necessary information about the faults, but sometimes, it becomes difficult even for expert professional to work on large amount of image data. Automatic classification of PVM faults using deep learning techniques can help in providing improved analysis and instantaneous results. The present study adopts renowned deep convolution neural network (CNN) models such as MobileNet V2, Inception V3, and Xception for the classification of PVM. The aforementioned models were trained individually, and the classification performances of the models were observed to be 97.03%, 95.55%, and 92.27%, respectively. A hybrid deep ensemble model is proposed in the study that merges all the aforementioned models. The proposed model produced classification accuracy higher than each of the individual model with a value of 99.04%. Automatic classification using deep ensemble model can help in the accurate identification of faults in PVM from images acquired through UAV. Consequently, this computer-aided and quick diagnosis can eliminate the downtime and fire hazards.

description: KOSMOS is a low-resolution, long-slit, optical spectrograph that has been upgraded at the University of Washington for its move from Kitt Peak National Observatory's Mayall 4m telescope to the Apache Point Observatory's ARC 3.5m telescope. One of the additions to KOSMOS is a slitviewer, which requires the fabrication of reflective slits, as KOSMOS previously used matte slits machined via wire EDM. We explore a novel method of slit fabrication using nanofabrication methods and compare the slit edge roughness, width uniformity, and the resulting scattering of the new fabricated slits to the original slits. We find the kerf surface of the chemically-etched reflective silicon slits are generally smoother than the machined matte slits, with an upper limit average roughness of 0.42 $\pm$ 0.03 $μ$m versus 1.06 $\pm$ 0.04 $μ$m respectively. The etched slits have width standard deviations of 6 $\pm$ 3 $μ$m versus 10 $\pm$ 6 $μ$m, respectively. The scattering for the chemically-etched slits is higher than that of the machined slits, showing that the reflectivity is the major contributor to scattering, not the roughness. This scattering, however, can be effectively reduced to zero with proper background subtraction. As slit widths increase, scattering increases for both types of slits, as expected. Future work will consist of testing and comparing the throughput and spectrophotometric data quality of these nanofabricated slits to the machined slits with on-sky data, in addition to making the etched slits more robust against breakage and finalizing the slit manufacturing process.

In an effort to reduce disparities in Durham County, an intervention is being proposed to increase awareness and enrollment of the Imagination Library program. Increasing enrollment will be a cross-sector approach that will utilize existing organizations and partnerships in the schools. Engaging partners in the community will be cost-effective and require limited infrastructure changes. This intervention will be designed, implemented, and continually evaluated by a local government organization, Durham’s Partnership for Children, with guidance from parents and caregivers in the community.

description: This work investigated the impact of thermal pre-treatment on the thermal kinetics of pinecones. An improvised muffle furnace was used for the torrefaction process. The kinetic parameters for thermal decomposition of torrefied pinecones and the raw pinecones were determined from the isoconversional methods (Friedman, Ozawa–Flynn–Wall (OFW) and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS)). The reaction mechanism (RM) of the raw and thermally processed pinecones was obtained by the Criado master plots. Thermogravimetric analyses of both the raw and thermally pre-treated pinecones were performed at a heating rate of 5°C·min−1, 10°C·min−1 and 15°C·min−1. Nitrogen gas was used as an inert medium for both thermal pre-treatment and pyrolysis of raw pinecones. The activation energies estimated from OFW and KAS, and Friedman for torrefied pinecones are 165.87 kJ·mol−1, 169.66 kJ·mol−1 and 130.68 kJ·mol−1,respectively. The calculated value of activation energy from OFW and KAS for the torrefied pinecones was estimated to be 8.66–8.93% higher than that of raw pinecones; however, in the case of the differential method, it decreased by a margin of 10%. The reduced reaction rate of the torrefied pinecones was slightly higher than that of the raw pinecones. However, no change in the characteristics of the reduced reaction rate of torrefied pinecones was noticed with respect to its raw form, in relation to thermal conversion. The clean gas generation after processing the raw pinecones was noticed to be 27.54% higher than its raw form. The weight percentages of alkali elements were increased by 24% after the torrefaction process.

description: According to Anderson's orthogonality catastrophe, the overlap of the $N$-particle ground states of a free Fermi gas with and without an (electric) potential decays in the thermodynamic limit. For the finite one-dimensional system various boundary conditions are employed. Unlike the usual setup the perturbation is introduced by a magnetic (vector) potential. Although such a magnetic field can be gauged away in one spatial dimension there is a significant and interesting effect on the overlap caused by the phases. We study the leading asymptotics of the overlap of the two ground states and the two-term asymptotics of the difference of the ground-state energies. In the case of periodic boundary conditions our main result on the overlap is based upon a well-known asymptotic expansion by Fisher and Hartwig on Toeplitz determinants with a discontinuous symbol. In the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions no such result is known to us and we only provide an upper bound on the overlap, presumably of the right asymptotic order.

description: We propose and theoretically simulate an experiment for demonstrating a motional-state Bell inequality violation for pairs of momentum-entangled atoms produced in Bose-Einstein condensate collisions. The proposal is based on realizing an atom-optics analog of the Rarity-Tapster optical scheme: it uses laser-induced Bragg pulses to implement two-particle interferometry on the underlying Bell-state for two pairs of atomic scattering modes with equal but opposite momenta. The collision dynamics and the sequence of Bragg pulses are simulated using the stochastic Bogoliubov approach in the positive-P representation. We predict values of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) parameter up to S~2.5 for experimentally realistic parameter regimes, showing a strong violation of the CSHS-Bell inequality bounded classically by S<2.

description: Due to the drilling problems in fractured reservoirs, multiphase lightweight fluids are essential. To produce lightweight fluids and to achieve the desired stability, a variety of chemical and natural surfactants are used. However, natural surfactants are more in demand due to environmental issues and challenges. The goal of this research is to produce a lightweight fluid using a combination of natural materials. Moreover, colloidal gas aphron (CGA) based drilling fluids are prepared at 5,000 to 10,000 rpm stirring speed; therefore in this research, the production feasibility of stable multiphase fluid (called semi-aphron) was investigated at a lower stirring speed (1,500 rpm) without Xanthan Gum polymer. The applied natural raw materials, were Acanthophyllum bracteatum root (ABR), Glycyrrhiza glabra root (GGR), and Tetraclinis articulata fruit (TAF) powders that were mixed with Persian Gulf seawater. Three models of response surface methodology (RSM) were utilized to assess the effects of natural materials concentration (0 to 0.2%wt.) on the stability and drained volume (DV) of the liquid phase at 25°C and 70°C. The utilized models were central composite design (CCD), typical custom design (TCD), and modified custom design (MCD). Based on the results, the optimum concentration for ABR, GGR, and TAF were 0.2%, 0.1%, and 0.1% wt., respectively. The produced fluids, using the combination of natural materials, had better stability than the base fluid (using SDS). The optimum concentration of natural material delayed the drainage of the liquid by about 70% at ambient temperature (25°C), and by about 50% at 70°C. The MCD model showed better-predicted R2 at ambient temperatures and 70°C (0.91 and 0.88, respectively) than the other two models, and would estimate the amount of DV better. The results showed that ABR and TAF had an inverse effect on DV at 25°C; thus, ABR and TAF increased semi-aphron stability, whereas GGR increased DV and semi-aphron instability. The results of this study can be considered for the application of native natural materials (ABR, GGR, and TAF) in the production of light drilling fluids, which reduces the environmental challenges of drilling fluids.

description: Wikipedia and many User-Generated Content (UGC) communities are known for producing reliable, quality content, but also for being vulnerable to false or misleading information. Previous work has shown that many hoaxes on Wikipedia go undetected for extended periods of time. But little is known about the creation of intentionally false or misleading information online. Does collective attention toward a topic increase the likelihood it will spawn disinformation? Here, we measure the relationship between allocation of attention and the production of hoax articles on the English Wikipedia. Analysis of traffic logs reveals that, compared to legitimate articles created on the same day, hoaxes tend to be more associated with traffic spikes preceding their creation. This is consistent with the idea that the supply of false or misleading information on a topic is driven by the attention it receives. These findings improve our comprehension of the determinants of disinformation in UGC communities and could help promote the integrity of knowledge on Wikipedia.

description: We present a measurement of the electron charge asymmetry in $p\bar{p}\rightarrow W+X \rightarrow eν+X$ events at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, using data corresponding to 9.7~fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The asymmetry is measured as a function of the electron pseudorapidity and is presented in five kinematic bins based on the electron transverse energy and the missing transverse energy in the event. The measured asymmetry is compared with next-to-leading-order predictions in perturbative quantum chromodynamics and provides accurate information for the determination of parton distribution functions of the proton. This is the most precise lepton charge asymmetry measurement to date.

description: We propose JEIT, a joint end-to-end (E2E) model and internal language model (ILM) training method to inject large-scale unpaired text into ILM during E2E training which improves rare-word speech recognition. With JEIT, the E2E model computes an E2E loss on audio-transcript pairs while its ILM estimates a cross-entropy loss on unpaired text. The E2E model is trained to minimize a weighted sum of E2E and ILM losses. During JEIT, ILM absorbs knowledge from unpaired text while the E2E training serves as regularization. Unlike ILM adaptation methods, JEIT does not require a separate adaptation step and avoids the need for Kullback-Leibler divergence regularization of ILM. We also show that modular hybrid autoregressive transducer (MHAT) performs better than HAT in the JEIT framework, and is much more robust than HAT during ILM adaptation. To push the limit of unpaired text injection, we further propose a combined JEIT and JOIST training (CJJT) that benefits from modality matching, encoder text injection and ILM training. Both JEIT and CJJT can foster a more effective LM fusion. With 100B unpaired sentences, JEIT/CJJT improves rare-word recognition accuracy by up to 16.4% over a model trained without unpaired text.

description: The concept of the rebound effect is important in understanding the limits to how much technological efficiency improvements can reduce energy and resource consumption. However, due to the concept's focus on efficiency, it neglects other environmental implications of technological change. We use the term “induction effect” to grasp additional important mechanisms stemming from new technologies. We define an induction effect as an increase in the level of energy or resource consumption that was caused or enabled by the emergence of “new options” arising from technological change. Our investigation of three cases of new technologies - online consumption, smart homes, and pace of life - shows how including both rebound and induction effects into the analysis helps in understanding the relationship between technological change and energy and resource consumption. Integrating induction effects into the analysis underpins the importance of sufficiency as a strategy for sustainability and helps to develop comprehensive policy measures.

Identifying the current challenges of community pharmacists in supporting patients with cancer and survivors in North Carolina
Creators: name: Xia, Sherry

description: Introduction: As the population ages, the prevalence of cancer and cancer survivorship increases, and the roles of community pharmacists are increasingly significant in providing care to people living with cancer. There are multiple studies conducted internationally showing that additional education and training are needed for community pharmacists to counsel patients with cancer. However, no study has explored the needs for which patients with cancer turn to their community pharmacists in the U.S.

Methods: 10 community pharmacists practicing in North Carolina were identified and interviewed virtually. The interviews were conducted in March 2022. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. We developed structured codes to topically organize data from the interviews in Atlas.ti (Version 22.2.3). We analyzed the coded transcripts using the constant comparative method and presented illustrative quotes to describe the health and other needs for which patients with cancer seek consultation from community pharmacists. 

Results: Community pharmacists reported being asked about topics of pain management, medication access, and over-the-counter recommendations to manage adverse effects from cancer and its treatment. Community pharmacists practicing in urban settings reported having established networks of oncology experts available for consultation due to their proximity and relationships with nearby cancer centers. The most challenging barriers reported by community pharmacists in providing cancer-related care were challenges identifying whom among their patients have cancer, advocating for their patients within the patients’ oncology care teams, and facilitating interprofessional communications to provide better quality care for patients.

Conclusions: We identified several potentially important inquiries from patients with cancer and associated barriers to support that may be used to enhance the cancer patient services provided by community pharmacists.
National Recommendations for Rare Disease Health Care

description: The National Recommendations for Rare Disease Health Care (the Recommendations) were written to help health professionals provide quality care for people living with rare disease, including people with a diagnosed rare disease and those who have not yet received a diagnosis. The Recommendations are aligned with the Australian Government’s National Strategic Action Plan for Rare Diseases. 

The Recommendations may be helpful for:

Health professionals – to provide better care for people living with rare disease 

People living with rare disease – to help in partnering with their health care team to plan the type of health care that works best for them 

Policy makers – to help shape health care policy relating to rare disease.
Personalised simulation of hemodynamics in cerebrovascular disease: lessons learned from a study of diagnostic accuracy

description: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) poses a significant risk of subsequent stroke but current prevention strategies are limited. Mechanistic simulations of brain hemodynamics offer an alternative precision medicine approach by utilising individual patient characteristics. For clinical use, however, current simulation frameworks have insufficient validation. In this study, we performed the first quantitative validation of a simulation-based precision medicine framework to assess cerebral hemodynamics in patients with ICAD against clinical standard perfusion imaging. In a retrospective analysis, we used a 0-dimensional simulation model to detect brain areas that are hemodynamically vulnerable to subsequent stroke. The main outcome measures were sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC AUC) of the simulation to identify brain areas vulnerable to subsequent stroke as defined by quantitative measurements of relative mean transit time (relMTT) from dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI). In 68 subjects with unilateral stenosis >70% of the internal carotid artery (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA), the sensitivity and specificity of the simulation were 0.65 and 0.67, respectively. The ROC AUC was 0.68. The low-to-moderate accuracy of the simulation may be attributed to assumptions of Newtonian blood flow, rigid vessel walls, and the use of time-of-flight MRI for geometric representation of subject vasculature. Future simulation approaches should focus on integrating additional patient data, increasing accessibility of precision medicine tools to clinicians, addressing disease burden disparities amongst different populations, and quantifying patient benefit. Our results underscore the need for further improvement of mechanistic simulations of brain hemodynamics to foster the translation of the technology to clinical practice.

description: Smartphones enable understanding human behavior with activity recognition to support people's daily lives. Prior studies focused on using inertial sensors to detect simple activities (sitting, walking, running, etc.) and were mostly conducted in homogeneous populations within a country. However, people are more sedentary in the post-pandemic world with the prevalence of remote/hybrid work/study settings, making detecting simple activities less meaningful for context-aware applications. Hence, the understanding of (i) how multimodal smartphone sensors and machine learning models could be used to detect complex daily activities that can better inform about people's daily lives and (ii) how models generalize to unseen countries, is limited. We analyzed in-the-wild smartphone data and over 216K self-reports from 637 college students in five countries (Italy, Mongolia, UK, Denmark, Paraguay). Then, we defined a 12-class complex daily activity recognition task and evaluated the performance with different approaches. We found that even though the generic multi-country approach provided an AUROC of 0.70, the country-specific approach performed better with AUROC scores in [0.79-0.89]. We believe that research along the lines of diversity awareness is fundamental for advancing human behavior understanding through smartphones and machine learning, for more real-world utility across countries.
