description: Advances in cancer treatment coupled with a rapid aging of the population have contributed to an unprecedented growth in the number of older adult cancer survivors. While this growth reflects remarkable scientific achievements, cancer and its treatment can precipitate a range of physical and psychological health complications, which can be amplified in old age. Preserving the health-related quality of life of older cancer survivors is one of the most important concerns in cancer survivorship care. However, few studies have examined predictors of health-related quality of life in older adults with cancer, and even fewer have included racial and ethnic minority groups in their studies. The following collection of papers address these issues by using three population-based datasets to identify predictors and outcomes of health-related quality of life in older adults diagnosed with cancer. Data for the first paper is derived from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and indicates that older adult cancer survivors have significantly better health-related quality of life than their middle-aged counterparts. However, older adults who are from racial or ethnic minority groups, those who face financial barriers to health care, are unmarried, or have greater co-morbidities are at risk of having poor health- related quality of life. In the second paper, which analyzed data from the merged Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results – Medicare Health Outcomes Survey dataset, older Asian American and Pacific Islander cancer survivors are found to have significantly worse mental health-related quality of life than older Non-Hispanic White cancer survivors. Across both groups, income and physical functioning are important predictors of health-related quality of life. Older Asian American and Pacific Islander cancer survivors who are less acculturated are at greater risk of having poor health-related quality of life. The third paper, which analyzed data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, identifies social engagement as a significant predictor of subjective well-being. It also indicates that older adult cancer survivors who are not married and those experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression are more likely to report poor subjective well-being. Collectively, these three papers demonstrate the need for strategies to improve the health-related quality of life of older racial and ethnic minority cancer survivors, and highlights the important contribution of social connections to health-related quality of life.

description: British Columbia (BC) mining companies and federal/provincial regulators have the most stringent international minesite total suspended solids (TSS) standard to contend with. Addressing the generation, mitigation and compliance of sediment release from existing and proposed minesites means end-of-pipe and runoff must not exceed a TSS standard of 30 mg/L for a grab sample (and 15 mg/L for a monthly average) – this is a requirement of the Metal Mining Effluent Regulation (MMER) under the Fisheries Act. Add to this requirement in BC: minesite discharges must not cause exceedence of the stringent BC Water Quality Guidelines (BCWQG), exceedence of which may result in pollution, as defined in the BC Environmental Management Act (EMA). A frequent use of flocculants to achieve compliance with the MMER, a BC effluent permit, and the BCWQG TSS standards, may result in flocculant-induced toxicity, which is a contravention of the MMER, the EMA, and a BC mine effluent permit. Achieving compliance with these TSS requirements requires the application of a Best Achievable Technology (BAT). In 2002, the MMER was enacted and the Ministry of Environment (MOE) developed their Guidance for Assessing the Design, Size and Operation of Sedimentation Ponds Used in Mining. An essential part of designing for federal/provincial sediment release compliance for proposed mines is the preliminary sampling/testing of minesite soils and determining the need for a flocculant addition and control system. Sampling and testing is required for: (a) prediction of sediment pond discharge and runoff quality, and (b) execution of a well-designed Sediment Pond Management Plan (SPMP) and an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP). Failure to follow a plan which uses a predictive methodology, using site specific soils and settling testing, leaves the issue of legislative compliance to chance. If existing mines are not in compliance, it may often be the result of not performing the recommended testing and planning. The MMER is currently under review to include coal mines, Al, Fe, ammonia, Se, and may potentially generate additional onerous requirements as Environment Canada (EC) recently asked for more stringent government rules to prevent water pollution from mines. This paper will comment on and provide conclusions related to the effectiveness of the following in predicting and preventing water pollution caused by TSS: (1) BC effluent permitting, (2) the BC sediment pond design approach, (3) proposed MOE guidance on designing erosion and sediment control plans, (4) the BC TSS/turbidity Water Quality Guidelines, (5) the MMER, and (6) other applicable prediction, design and operating strategies.

description: The next step in the understanding of the genome organization, after the determination of complete sequences, involves proteomics. The proteome includes the whole set of protein-protein interactions, and two recent independent studies have shown that its topology displays a number of surprising features shared by other complex networks, both natural and artificial. In order to understand the origins of this topology and its evolutionary implications, we present a simple model of proteome evolution that is able to reproduce many of the observed statistical regularities reported from the analysis of the yeast proteome. Our results suggest that the observed patterns can be explained by a process of gene duplication and diversification that would evolve proteome networks under a selection pressure, favoring robustness against failure of its individual components.

The computation is done with the help of the symbolic software Mathematica. With these explicit dispersion relations, we perform more analysis on the spectra.

description: We examine the interactions of a black hole with a massless scalar field using a coordinate system which extends ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates to dynamic spherically symmetric-spacetimes. We avoid problems with the singularity by excising the region of the black hole interior to the apparent horizon. We use a second-order finite difference scheme to solve the equations. The resulting program is stable and convergent and will run forever without problems. We are able to observe quasi-normal ringing and power-law tails as well an interesting nonlinear feature.

description: Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen basieren auf Wellenmessungen, die in einem küstennormalen Profil vor der Insel SYLT/ Nordsee seit 1971 vom LEHRSTUHL FOR HYDROMECHANIK UND KOSTENWASSERBAU der TU BRAUNSCHWEIG durchgeführt wurden. Während im ersten Teil die Analyse der Wellenverformung mit Hilfe des auf Analogaufzeichnungen angewandten "Nulldurchgangsverfahrens" (Zero-up-crossing) behandelt wird, besteht der zweite Teil aus einem Erklärungsversuch der signifikanten Verformungserscheinungen unter Verwendung von spektralen Auswertmethoden.
Als Ergebnis ist festzustellen, dass die durch eine Vielzahl von Analogauswertungen belegte Wellenperiodenzunahme bei abnehmender Wassertiefe sowie andere Wellenverformungen mit anomaler Dispersion der Phasengeschwindigkeiten der beteiligten Fourier-Komponenten erklärt werden kann. Demnach ist zu vermuten, dass das Auftreten anomaler Dispersion – wie bekanntlich bei der Absorption von elektromagnetischen Wellen – auch bei Schwerewellen eine Begleiterscheinung der Energieumwandlung darstellt, wenn sich auch die betreffenden Mechanismen grundsätzlich voneinander unterscheiden. Eine eingehendere Darstellung dieser Untersuchungen ist zu finden unter der Schrifttumsangabe Büsching (1979).

A steadily increasing wave period in the upbeach direction, turning out from strip chart evaluations, is in accordance with the result of Fourier syntheses. Near shore wave deformation is explained by anomalous dispersion of the frequency components.

description: The emergence and maintenance of cooperation has attracted intensive scholarly interest and has been analysed within the framework of evolutionary game theory. The role of innovation, which introduces novel strategies into the population, is a relatively understudied aspect of evolutionary game theory. Here, we investigate the effects of two sources of innovation---mutation and heterogeneous updating rules. These mechanisms allow agents to adopt strategies that do not rely on the imitation of other individuals. The model introduces---in addition to canonical imitation-based strategy updating---aspiration-based updating, whereby agents switch their strategy by referring solely to the performance of their own strategy; mutation also introduces novel strategies into the population. Our simulation results show that the introduction of aspiration-based rules into a population of imitators leads to the deterioration of cooperation. In addition, mutation, in combination with heterogeneous updating rules, also diminishes cooperators. This phenomenon is prominent when a large proportion of the population consists of imitators rather than adopters of aspiration-based updating. Nevertheless, a high mutation rate, in combination with a low aspiration level, has positive nonlinear effects, and a heterogeneous population achieves a higher level of cooperation than the weighted average of homogeneous populations. Our results demonstrate the profound role of innovation in the evolution of cooperation.

description: The online convenience sample of 249 nurses all treated COVID-19 patients in the past year—with 45.0% in the emergency department and 36.9% in intensive care. Nurses were 68.7% female with a mean age of 32.17 years, as well as mostly white (69.1%). Some 28.5% had COVID-19, with 16.1% testing positive more than once in the past year. Using paired t-tests comparing scores for before versus during the pandemic, their physical health status and mental/emotional status were each significantly worse during the pandemic, their level of self-efficacy for performing nursing tasks was significantly worse during the pandemic, and their fear level was significantly higher during the pandemic. Nurses negotiated the pandemic with just moderate social support, while having moderate work setting concerns (e.g., safety), and rating the work climate as “to some extent” less favorable than before the pandemic. Nurses suffered moderate burnout using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory—while females suffered higher burnout than males (p = .000) and non-whites higher burnout than whites. Past month mean Perceived Stress Scale scores were moderate. Nurses used alcohol/drugs closest to 30% of the time to cope with stress, while 35.7% increased use during the pandemic. They reported moderate mental distress over the past year, while 61.0% reported insomnia, 57.4% anxiety, 39.0% depression, 35.7% trauma, and 27.3% received counseling. Nurses reported moderate well-being over the past two weeks, and moderately high satisfaction with life. Backward stepwise regression found higher burnout significantly predicted by: fewer years working in nursing; higher Body Mass Index; more concerns at work (e.g., safety); higher past month perceived stress; higher past year mental distress; and, lower past two weeks’ well-being—with 52.2% of the variance predicted. Qualitative data reinforce important recommendations.

Subjects: Service components, pilot operation plan platform, tools,access services

description: This document defines the pilot operation plan describing the strategy for the operational phase of the platform, tools and access services developed in the Immersive Accessibility (ImAc) project. It defines which service components need to be integrated for their evaluation through a set of pilot actions in Spain, Germany and England. In order to feed the pilots, immersive media is produced and enriched with accessibility content using the editing tools developed in the project’s scope.
 This is the second and final iteration of D5.1. The first version, delivered in M07, was focused on the pilot phase 1 and describes a set of closed pilot actions aiming to gather feedback to improve the ImAc access services and tools. This final version is enhanced with updates from the already executed pilot phase 1 and a detailed planning of pilot phase 2, which includes some open pilot actions. Ref.

The tool was administered to a sample (N = 73) 65.8% (N = 48) male, 31.5% (N = 23) female, 68.5% (N = 50) Black, 31.5% (N = 23) Latinx, with 90.4% (N = 66) born in the United States—with a mean age of 30.04 years (min =18, max = 55, SD = 9.42). Some 46.6% (N = 34) completed a Bachelor’s degree or higher, while 63% (N = 46) were employed—with a mean annual household income of $40,000 to $49,000 (mean = category 4.23, min = 1, max = 11, SD = 1.899). Participants suffered multiple long-lasting damages as collateral consequences from Stop, Question, and Frisk. Pearson Correlations showed the higher the global collateral consequences scores, then lower Age (r = -.572, p = .000); darker Skin Color (r = .281, p = .016); lower Income (r = -.269, p = 023); lower Life Satisfaction (r = -.469, p = .000); more Negative Impact on Physical Health (r = -.264, p = .024); more Negative Impact on Mental Health (r = -.413, p = .000); lower BMI (Body Mass Index) (r = -.439, p = .000); greater frequency of various types of marijuana-related police contact (r = .580, p = .000); and greater extent of invasive experiences with police (r = .117, p = .000). While controlling for social desirability, the significant predictors of the study outcome variable of the Global Collateral Consequences Score (GCCS-8) were as not born in the US (β = -.607, SEB = .294, p = .044); lower life satisfaction (β = -.141, SEB = .044, p = .002); lower Body Mass Index (β = -.042, SEB = .010, p = .000); more positive attitudes on marijuana equity and reparations (β = .347, SEB = .099, p = .001); greater frequency of various types of marijuana-related police contact (β = -.232, SEB = .099, p = .024); and greater extent of invasive experiences with police (β = .324, SEB = .084, p = .000). This model accounted for 62.4% of the variance (R2 = 0.669 and Adj R2 = 0.624). Qualitative data expanded on the quantitative data findings. Implications and recommendations covered how the new tool created for this study may be used in future research and for screening purposes to identify those needing interventions from police stress and trauma.

We review the recent advances in understanding the field responses of materials that are described by models with strongly bond-dependent spin exchange interactions, such as Kitaev's celebrated honeycomb model and its extensions. We discuss the field-induced phases and the complex magnetization processes found in these theories and compare with experimental results in the layered Mott insulators $α$-RuCl$_3$ and Na$_2$IrO$_3$, which are believed to realize this fascinating physics.

Predictors of Obesity in Adults: The Roles of Demographic Factors, Body Dissatisfaction, Depression, and Life Stress

Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: This study explored the link between sociodemographic and psychological factors when predicting obesity. Analyses were conducted on an Internet sample of 1664 male and female participants from the Teachers College Columbia University Eating and Self Image Survey. Independent variables included sociodemographic factors such as race, sex, geographic location, and socioeconomic status (SES) and psychological variables such as body image dissatisfaction (BID), depression, and life stress. The dependent variable for all analyses was obesity. An initial two-step hierarchical logistic regression was fitted to the data with sex, geographic location, race, and education (a proxy for income) in the first step and BID, depression, and life stress in the second step. All sociodemographic variables were found to be significant in the first step with obesity being predicted by having a high school education or less, being Black, residing in a southern state, and being female. However, after entering the psychological variables in the second step, being Black was the only sociodemographic variable to retain significance with high BID, being depressed, and higher amounts of life predicting obesity. A second series of hierarchical logistic regressions were performed separately to assess to what extent race, gender, and education combined with the effects of BID, depression, and life stress moderate obesity. There was no evidence that the product of race and any of the psychological factors moderated obesity. However, it was revealed that the combination of gender by BID was a significant moderator of obesity (but not the effects of depression and life stress) with females with elevated levels of BID being more likely to report being obese. The product of education by BID moderated obesity with the combination of a college education or beyond and elevated amounts of BID predicting obesity. The product of education by life stress also moderated the effects of obesity, with individuals with a high school education or less and who reported higher amounts of life stress showing increased likelihood of being obese. The product of depression and SES did not prove to be a significant moderator of obesity. On the whole, this study provides insight into the interactions of sociodemographic and psychological variables as predictors of obesity in adults.
Site-specific water quality objectives for mine environmental management

description: Few environmental issues are of greater importance for the planning and approvals of new mines, operational management, and closure/remediation planning than the often complex hydrogeochemical interactions between surface waters that support aquatic life and mine wastes or recently disturbed areas. There is a strong reliance for permitting and approvals within British Columbia (BC) and other Canadian jurisdictions on generic provincial and national water quality guidelines to interpret aquatic ecological risk potential and protect freshwater life. The mining sector supports greater use of site-specific, riskbased water quality benchmarks, which necessarily require a more direct scientific understanding of aquatic ecological risks in watersheds of interest; however, the adoption of site-specific water quality objective (SSWQO) approaches has been limited. We discuss the methods used to develop generic water quality guidelines, including differences between Canadian (CCME) and BC water quality guideline derivation protocols. The relationship between generic guidelines and SSWQOs are discussed, along with the various practical approaches for development of SSWQOs based on toxicity data such as the water effects ratio (WER) method. Finally, we discuss the factors that may undermine the more widespread adoption of SSWQOs, and of the associated support for science-based decisions for environmental management in the mining sector.

description: In this work, we extend the analysis of Brown and York to find the quasilocal energy in a spherical box in the Schwarzschild spacetime. Quasilocal energy is the value of the Hamiltonian that generates unit magnitude proper-time translations on the box orthogonal to the spatial hypersurfaces foliating the Schwarzschild spacetime. We call this Hamiltonian the Brown-York Hamiltonian. We find different classes of foliations that correspond to time-evolution by the Brown-York Hamiltonian. We show that although the Brown-York expression for the quasilocal energy is correct, one needs to supplement their derivation with an extra set of boundary conditions on the interior end of the spatial hypersurfaces inside the hole in order to obtain it from an action principle. Replacing this set of boundary conditions with another set yields the Louko-Whiting Hamiltonian, which corresponds to time-evolution of spatial hypersurfaces in a different foliation of the Schwarzschild spacetime. We argue that in the thermodynamical picture, the Brown-York Hamiltonian corresponds to the internal energy whereas the Louko-Whiting Hamiltonian corresponds to the Helmholtz free energy of the system. Unlike what has been the usual route to black hole thermodynamics in the past, this observation immediately allows us to obtain the partition function of such a system without resorting to any kind of Euclideanization of either the Hamiltonian or the action. In the process, we obtain some interesting insights into the geometrical nature of black hole thermodynamics.

description: Point sources in (2+1)-dimensional gravity are conical singularities that modify the global curvature of the space giving rise to self-interaction effects on classical fields. In this work we study the electrostatic self-interaction of a point charge in the presence of point masses in (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a cosmological constant.

Intermediate phase and pseudo phase transition in an artificial spin ice model

description: In this paper we conduct Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the thermodynamic properties of a geometry of artificial spin ice recently proposed in the literature that had been termed "rewritable" spin ice, for its experimental realization allows total control over the microstates of the system. Our results show that in the thermodynamic limit a single phase transition between a fully magnetized state and a paramagnetic state exists, whereas for finite systems an intermediate phase also emerges, engendering a low temperature pseudo phase transition. This intermediate phase is characterized by large magnetic domains separated by domain walls composed of monopole-like excitations, resulting in low net magnetization values. We also show that two types of low energy excitations that behave as magnetic monopoles emerge in the system, both of which are geometrically constrained to move along a predefined path.

Stacking-fault energies for Ag, Cu, and Ni from empirical tight-binding potentials

description: The intrinsic stacking-fault energies and free energies for Ag, Cu, and Ni are derived from molecular-dynamics simulations using the empirical tight-binding potentials of Cleri and Rosato [Phys. Rev. B 48, 22 (1993)]. While the results show significant deviations from experimental data, the general trend between the elements remains correct. This allows to use the potentials for qualitative comparisons between metals with high and low stacking-fault energies. Moreover, the effect of stacking faults on the local vibrational properties near the fault is examined. It turns out that the stacking fault has the strongest effect on modes in the center of the transverse peak and its effect is localized in a region of approximately eight monolayers around the defect.

description: Einstein's field equations for stationary Bianchi type II models with a perfect fluid source are investigated. The field equations are rewritten as a system of autonomous first order differential equations. Dimensionless variables are subsequently introduced for which the reduced phase space is compact. The system is then studied qualitatively using the theory of dynamical systems. It is shown that the locally rotationally symmetric models are not asymptotically self-similar for small values of the independent , tovariable. A new exact solution is also given.

description: Switching between a state of fear and safety is a critical aspect of adaptive behavior. Aversive and non-aversive associations must be formed quickly and reliably but remain malleable as these associations change dynamically. When these associations become biased towards aversive associations by traumatic and stressful circumstances, as in PTSD, fear generalization and impaired fear extinction arise. These changes are associated with reduced activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and enhanced activity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). It has been hypothesized that the mPFC mediates top-down control of the BLA to signal safety. It has previously been demonstrated that synchronous activity within the mPFC-BLA circuit is strongly engaged during fear conditioning, but it is unknown how activity in this circuit changes to mediate aversive discrimination.  We investigated how the mPFC and BLA cooperate to mediate successful discrimination between aversive and non-aversive stimuli both for learned and innately-valent associations. Extracellular elecrophysiological recordings were obtained simultaneously form the mPFC and BLA in mice during innate anxiety, fear discrimination, and fear extinction. Local field potentials were recorded in both structures along with single unit recordings from the BLA. We discovered that fear was associated with enhanced theta-frequency synchrony and theta-gamma coupling within the mPFC-BLA circuit. On the other hand, safety was associated with predominant mPFC-to-BLA directionality of synchronous information flow and enhanced fast gamma frequency activity in both structures. Interestingly, gamma oscillations in the BLA were strongly coupled to theta frequency activity arising in the mPFC. This data is consistent with entrainment of inhibitory circuits in the BLA by mPFC input to mediate safety.

description: In the previous works, we proposed atomic quantum simulations of the U(1) gauge-Higgs model by ultra-cold Bose gases. By studying extended Bose-Hubbard models (EBHMs) including long-range repulsions, we clarified the locations of the confinement, Coulomb and Higgs phases. In this paper, we study the EBHM with nearest-neighbor repulsions in one and two dimensions at large fillings by the Gutzwiller variational method. We obtain phase diagrams and investigate dynamical behavior of electric flux from the gauge-theoretical point of view. We also study if the system exhibits glassy quantum dynamics in the absence and presence of quenched disorder. We explain that the obtained results have a natural interpretation in the gauge theory framework. Our results suggest important perspective on many-body localization in strongly-correlated systems. They are also closely related to anomalously slow dynamics observed by recent experiments performed on Rydberg atom chain, and our study indicates existence of similar phenomenon in two-dimensional space.
