description: A considerable number of semi-empirical and first-principles models have been created to describe the dynamic response of a collisionally damped charged-particle system. However, known challenges persist for established dynamic structure factors (DSF), dielectric functions, and conductivities. For instance, the semi-empirical Drude-Smith conductivity [N.M. Smith, Phys. Rev. B 64, 155106 (2001)] lacks interpretability, and the first-principles Mermin dielectric function [N.D. Mermin, Phys. Rev. B, 1, 2362 (1970)] does not satisfy the frequency sum rule [G.S. Atwal and N.W. Ashcroft, Phys. Rev. B 65, 115109 (2002)]. In this work, starting from the multicomponent Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) kinetic equation, we produce a multi-species susceptibility that conserves number and momentum, which we refer to as the ``completed Mermin'' susceptibility, and we explore its properties and uses. We show that the completed Mermin susceptibility satisfies the frequency sum (f-sum) rule. We compute the associated DSF and find that momentum conservation qualitatively impacts the DSF's shape for a carbon-contaminated deuterium and tritium plasma under NIF hot-spot conditions. In the appendices, we provide numerical implementations of the completed Mermin susceptibility, for the reader's convenience. Further, we produce a new non-Drude conductivity model, by taking the single-species limit and introducing free parameters in the terms that enforce number and momentum conservation. To illustrate how number and momentum conservation impact the dynamical conductivity shape, we apply our conductivity model to dynamical gold conductivity measurements [Z. Chen, et al., Nature communications, 12.1, 1638, (2021)]. Finally, comparing our model to the Drude-Smith conductivity model, we conclude that Smith's phenomenological parameter violates local number conservation.

description: This qualitative study examines first-year college students’ online search habits in order to identify patterns in millennials’ mental models of information retrieval. The study employed a combination of modified contextual inquiry and concept mapping methodologies to elicit students’ mental models. The researcher confirmed previously observed millennial behavior including preference for searching rather than browsing and hypertext reading. The study found three basic types of mental models; those with a network view conducted more searches overall and more complex (Boolean and topic + focus) searches. However, none of the participants demonstrated strong mental models that increased their effectiveness in searching.

description: Strain engineering has played a key role in modern silicon electronics, having been introduced as a mobility booster in the 1990s and commercialized in the early 2000s. Achieving similar advances with two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors in a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) compatible manner would radically improve the industrial viability of 2D transistors. Here, we show silicon nitride capping layers can impart strain to monolayer MoS2 transistors on conventional silicon substrates, enhancing their electrical performance with a low thermal budget (350 °C), CMOS-compatible approach. Strained back-gated and dual-gated MoS2 transistors demonstrate median increases up to 60% and 45% in on-state current, respectively. The greatest improvements are found when both transistor channels and contacts are reduced to ~200 nm, reaching saturation currents of 488 uA/um, higher than any previous reports at such short contact pitch. Simulations reveal that most benefits arise from tensile strain lowering the contact Schottky barriers, and that further reducing device dimensions (including contacts) will continue to offer increased strain and performance improvements.

description: The accelerated progress of artificial intelligence (AI) has popularized deep learning models across various domains, yet their inherent opacity poses challenges, particularly in critical fields like healthcare, medicine, and the geosciences. Explainable AI (XAI) has emerged to shed light on these 'black box' models, aiding in deciphering their decision-making processes. However, different XAI methods often produce significantly different explanations, leading to high inter-method variability that increases uncertainty and undermines trust in deep networks' predictions. In this study, we address this challenge by introducing a novel framework designed to enhance the explainability of deep networks through a dual focus on maximizing both accuracy and comprehensibility in the explanations. Our framework integrates outputs from multiple established XAI methods and leverages a non-linear neural network model, termed the 'explanation optimizer,' to construct a unified, optimal explanation. The optimizer evaluates explanations using two key metrics: faithfulness (accuracy in reflecting the network's decisions) and complexity (comprehensibility). By balancing these, it provides accurate and accessible explanations, addressing a key XAI limitation. Experiments on multi-class and binary classification in 2D object and 3D neuroscience imaging confirm its efficacy. Our optimizer achieved faithfulness scores 155% and 63% higher than the best XAI methods in 3D and 2D tasks, respectively, while also reducing complexity for better understanding. These results demonstrate that optimal explanations based on specific quality criteria are achievable, offering a solution to the issue of inter-method variability in the current XAI literature and supporting more trustworthy deep network predictions

description: For many research purposes, scholars need reliable and valid survey measures of the extent to which people have been exposed to various kinds of political content in mass media. Nonetheless, good measures of media exposure, and of exposure to political television in particular, have proven elusive. Increasingly fragmented audiences for political television have only made this problem more severe. To address these concerns, we propose a new way of measuring exposure to political television and evaluate its reliability and predictive validity using three waves of nationally representative panel data collected during the 2008 presidential campaign. We find that people can reliably report the specific television programs they watch regularly, and that these measures predict change over time in knowledge of candidate issue positions, a much higher standard of predictive validity than any other measure has met to date.

description: A method, system and computer program product for predicting a viewer's quality of experience while watching mobile videos potentially afflicted with network induced impairments. The length of a stall on a video at time t is received as a first input to a model. The number of stalls up to the time t is received as a second input to the model. Furthermore, the time since a preceding rebuffering event is received as a third input to the model. Additionally, a reciprocal stall density at time t is received as a fourth input to the model. The hysteresis effect is captured using a machine-learning-based model with an input that is an aggregate of the outputs of the first, second, third and fourth inputs to nonlinear input blocks of the model, where the hysteresis effect represents an effect that a viewer's recent level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction has on their overall viewing experience.

description: The sensitivity of continuous gravitational-wave (CW) searches for unknown neutron stars (NSs) is limited by their parameter space breadth. To fit within reasonable computing budgets, hierarchical schemes are used to identify interesting candidates using affordable methods. The resulting sensitivity depends on the number of candidates selected to follow-up. In this work, we present a novel framework to evaluate the effectiveness of stochastic CW follow-ups. Our results allow for a significant reduction of the computing cost of pyfstat, a well-established follow-up method. We also simplify the setup of multistage follow-ups by removing the need for parameter-space metrics. The study was conducted on Gaussian and real O3 Advanced LIGO data covering both isolated and binary sources. These results will have a positive impact on the sensitivity of all-sky searches in the forthcoming observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration.

description: A Bloch point represents a three-dimensional hedgehog singularity of a magnetic vector field in which the magnetization vanishes. However, standard micromagnetic theory, developed for magnetic moments of fixed lengths, lacks full applicability in studying such singularities. To address this gap, we study a Bloch point in a quantum Heisenberg model for the case of spin-1/2 particles. Performing an exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian as well as using density matrix renormalization group techniques, we obtain the ground state, which can be used to recover the corresponding magnetization profile. Our findings demonstrate a variation of the spin length in the quantum model, leading smoothly to zero magnetization at the Bloch point. Our results indicate the necessity of generalizing the classical micromagnetic model by adding the third degree of freedom of the spins: the ability to change its length. To this end, we introduce the micromagnetic $\mathbb{S}_{3}$-model, which enables the description of magnets with and without Bloch point singularities.

description: Exploration of topology protected by a certain symmetry is central in condensed matter physics. A recent idea of sub-symmetry-protected (SSP) topology--remains of a broken symmetry can still protect specific topological boundary states--has been developed and demonstrated in an optical system [Nat. Phys. 19, 992-998 (2023)]. Here, we extend this idea further by applying sub-symmetry-protecting perturbation (SSPP) to one-dimensional topological insulating and superconducting systems using the Su-Schrieffer-Hegger (SSH) and Kitaev models. Using the tight-binding and low-energy effective theory, we show that the SSP boundary states retain topological properties while the SSPP results in the asymmetry of boundary states. For the SSH model, an SSP zero-energy edge state localized on one edge possesses quantized polarization. In contrast, the other edge state is perturbed to have non-zero energy, and its polarization is not quantized. For topological superconductors, zero-energy SSP Majorana boundary states for spinful Kitaev models emerge on only one edge, contrary to the conventional belief that Majorana fermions emerge at opposite edges. Our findings can be used as a platform to expand our understanding of topological materials as they broaden our understanding of the symmetry in a topological system and a method to engineer Majorana fermions.

description: The Onsager algebra, invented to solve the two-dimensional Ising model, can be used to construct conserved charges for a family of integrable $N$-state chiral clock models. We show how it naturally gives rise to a "pivot" procedure for this family of chiral Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians have an anti-unitary CPT symmetry that when combined with the usual $\mathbb{Z}_N$ clock symmetry gives a non-abelian dihedral symmetry group $D_{2N}$. We show that this symmetry gives rise to symmetry-protected topological (SPT) order in this family for all even $N$, and representation-SPT (RSPT) physics for all odd $N$. The simplest such example is a next-nearest-neighbour chain generalising the spin-1/2 cluster model, an SPT phase of matter. We derive a matrix-product state representation of its fixed-point ground state along with the ensuing entanglement spectrum and symmetry fractionalisation. We analyse a rich phase diagram combining this model with the Onsager-integrable chiral Potts chain, and find trivial, symmetry-breaking and (R)SPT orders, as well as extended gapless regions. For odd $N$, the phase transitions are "unnecessarily" critical from the SPT point of view.

description: Chance constrained stochastic model predictive controllers (CC-SMPC) trade off full constraint satisfaction for economical plant performance under uncertainty. Previous CC-SMPC works are over-conservative in constraint violations leading to worse economic performance. Other past works require a-priori information about the uncertainty set, limiting their application. This paper considers a discrete LTI system with hard constraints on inputs and chance constraints on states, with unknown uncertainty distribution, statistics, or samples. This work proposes a novel adaptive online update rule to relax the state constraints based on the time-average of past constraint violations, to achieve reduced conservativeness in closed-loop. Under an ideal control policy assumption, it is proven that the time-average of constraint violations asymptotically converges to the maximum allowed violation probability. The method is applied for optimal battery energy storage system (BESS) dispatch in a grid connected microgrid with PV generation and load demand, with chance constraints on BESS state-of-charge (SOC). Realistic simulations show the superior electricity cost saving potential of the proposed method as compared to the traditional economic MPC without chance constraints, and a state-of-the-art approach with chance constraints. We satisfy the chance constraints non-conservatively in closed-loop, effectively trading off increased cost savings with minimal adverse effects on BESS lifetime.

description: Texaphyrins are provided for use as radiation sensitizers. Advantageous properties of texaphyrins for use as a radiation sensitizer include: i) a low redox potential which allows radiation-induced hydrated electrons to flow to texaphyrin rather than neutralizing hydroxyl radicals, allowing hydroxyl radicals to cause cellular damage, ii) a relatively stable texaphyrin radical that reacts readily to covalently modify neighboring molecules causing further cellular damage, iii) intrinsic biolocatization, and iv) indifference to the presence or absence of O.sub.2. These properties allow texaphyrins to be particularly effective for treating the hypoxic areas of solid neoplasms. Methods of treatment for an individual having a neoplasm or atheroma include the use of a texaphyrin as a radiation sensitizer and as an agent for photodynamic tumor therapy, or the use of a texaphyrin for internal and for external ionizing radiation. Novel texaphyrins are provided.

title: U.S. Opioid Epidemic: Challenges and Opportunities for Evidence-based Policies

description: Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicated that on average, 130 Americans die every day from opioid-related overdose. For the first time, more Americans are dying from opioids than from guns, car accidents or breast cancer. “Every 8 minutes, someone in America dies from a drug overdose; usually from opioids such as, heroin, illicit fentanyl, or oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and hydromorphine prescribed by doctors.” Specifically, prescription opioids account for approximately 40%-70% of fatal and non-fatal overdoses, and are frequently the first opioids encountered by individuals before transitioning to illicit drugs.
In response to this public health epidemic, a number of policies have been enacted to mitigate the problem. However, some policies may “prevent patients who need opioids from getting them, turn providers into policemen when patients seek opioids, and police providers themselves when they prescribe opioids.” Difficulty of accessing prescription opioids may contribute to increased demand for illegal narcotics, such as heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF). Herein lies the challenge of reversing the opioid epidemic while ensuring access to safe opioid treatment.
This document reviews policy approaches to addressing the epidemic, and considers opportunities for evidence-based strategies.
title: Branched Chain Amino Acids and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus:  A Literature Review

description: INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is recognized as a major public health problem in the modern world, with its prevalence increasing each year. Consistently poor lifestyle habits — namely, nutritional excess coupled with sedentary behavior — are the leading causes of obesity, which in turn leverages the gradual desensitization of cells to insulin, followed by the onset of insulin resistance (IR) and the subsequent development of T2DM. Countless studies and ongoing research have confirmed that nutrition plays a definitive role in contributing to the development and onset of T2DM. However, in recent years, there has been increasing controversy surrounding the role that branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) may play in influencing IR and the development of T2DM.
AIM To review existing literature regarding both the purportedly harmful and beneficial roles and impacts of BCAAs on metabolic health, in order to better understand the contradictory nature of BCAAs and their effects on IR and T2DM.

METHODS Relevant research, review articles and epidemiological studies spanning the time frame from 2004 to 2020 were collected, analyzed and summarized with the goal of underscoring and delineating the conflicting roles of BCAAs.
RESULTS Evidence of beneficial effects of BCAAs includes enhanced muscle protein synthesis, more efficient glucose homeostasis, increased satiety, better body composition and improved body weight regulation. Evidence of harmful effects of BCAAs includes elevated fasting concentrations of circulating BCAAs correlating with an increased risk of IR and T2DM in human and rodent models.
DISCUSSION In spite of the various studies that have been undertaken to shed further light on BCAAs, it still remains unclear whether they are simply markers of metabolic disturbances that ultimately lead to the development of T2DM, or if they are, at least in part, the actual cause of metabolic disturbances leading to T2DM. The general consensus amongst the scientific community is that more research is needed on this topic.

description: The increase of disease incidence and prevalence in developing countries urges governments and health care leaders to invoke a more efficient response to protect populations' health. Mobile health (mHealth) is changing the face of health care and strengthening health care systems. However, its slow growth in developing countries is an actual discussion topic among the scientific community. There is an urgent need to find solutions for the sustainability and scalability of mHealth programs in low- and middle-income regions. We are the first to conduct a case study on an African country's health system, demonstrating that mHealth provides promising opportunities for healthcare system strengthening. We used the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework to conduct our scoping review. The theory explains how technology adoption is influenced by an organization's technological, organizational, and environmental context. Our study found a total of 87 studies. One-third (30) of studies covered Denmark's landscape, while two-thirds (57) covered Kenya's landscape. We included in our analysis studies that focused on evaluating an organizational, technological, or environmental determinant for nationwide eHealth adoption. We selected eight studies that analyzed the Danish eHealth landscape and nine studies that analyzed the Kenyan eHealth landscape. We found an association of government and hospital organizational determinants in the sustainable implementation of mHealth solutions. Kenya and Denmark's healthcare reforms were pivotal in the growth of their eHealth market and structure. Both countries have decentralized governance, fiscal and administrative systems. Technological ICT capacity and human resources were also found as a predictor for their sustainable deployment in both countries. Environmental factors such as competitivity in the ICT market, hospital market, government support, and trialability mechanisms were also found as critical elements for mHealth technology adoption in both countries.

description: To evaluate the repository-level code generation capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in complex real-world software development scenarios, many evaluation methods have been developed. These methods typically leverage contextual code from the latest version of a project to assist LLMs in accurately generating the desired function. However, such evaluation methods fail to consider the dynamic evolution of software projects over time, which we refer to as evolution-ignored settings. This in turn results in inaccurate evaluation of LLMs' performance. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study to deeply understand LLMs' code generation performance within settings that reflect the evolution nature of software development. To achieve this, we first construct an evolution-aware repository-level code generation dataset, namely HumanEvo, equipped with an automated execution-based evaluation tool. Second, we manually categorize HumanEvo according to dependency levels to more comprehensively analyze the model's performance in generating functions with different dependency levels. Third, we conduct extensive experiments on HumanEvo with seven representative and diverse LLMs to verify the effectiveness of the proposed benchmark. We obtain several important findings through our experimental study. For example, we find that previous evolution-ignored evaluation methods result in inflated performance of LLMs, with performance overestimations ranging from 10.0% to 61.1% under different context acquisition methods, compared to the evolution-aware evaluation approach. Based on the findings, we give actionable suggestions for more realistic evaluation of LLMs on code generation. We also build a shared evolution-aware code generation toolbox to facilitate future research.

description: Safe autonomous navigation in unknown environments remains a critical challenge for robots with limited sensing capabilities. While safety-critical control techniques, such as Control Barrier Functions (CBFs), have been proposed to ensure safety, their effectiveness relies on the assumption that the robot has complete knowledge of its surroundings. In reality, robots often operate with restricted field-of-view and finite sensing range, which can lead to collisions with unknown obstacles if the planner is agnostic to these limitations. To address this issue, we introduce the Visibility-Aware RRT* algorithm that combines sampling-based planning with CBFs to generate safe and efficient global reference paths in partially unknown environments. The algorithm incorporates a collision avoidance CBF and a novel visibility CBF, which guarantees that the robot remains within locally collision-free regions, enabling timely detection and avoidance of unknown obstacles. We conduct extensive experiments interfacing the path planners with two different safety-critical controllers, wherein our method outperforms all other compared baselines across both safety and efficiency aspects.
