description: In the slave particle representation with $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, local constraints on physical states characterized by various mean field solutions belong to Dirac's second-class ones. Although constrained systems are extensively investigated, realistic methods to solve the gauge theory problem with second-class constraints are yet to be developed. We formulate a Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) quantization theory, called consistent $U(1)$ gauge theory, that is consistent with both first- and second-class local constraints for strongly correlated condensed matter systems. In our consistent $U(1)$ gauge theory, the redundant gauge degrees of freedom are removed by proper gauge fixing conditions while the constraints are exactly retained and the gauge invariance is guaranteed by the BRST symmetry. Furthermore, the gauge fixing conditions endow the gauge field with dynamics. This turns the strongly correlated electron model into a weakly coupled slave boson model, so most of the system's physical properties can be calculated by the conventional quantum many-body perturbation method. We focus on the property of the strange metal phase in the $t$-$J$ model. The electron momentum distribution and the spectral function are calculated, and the non-Fermi liquid behavior agrees with the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements for cuprate materials. We also study the electromagnetic responses of the strange metal state. The observed non-Fermi liquid anomalies are captured by our calculations. Especially, we find that the Hall resistivity decreases as temperature increases, and the sign of the Hall resistivity varies from negative to positive when the dopant concentration varies from optimal doping to underdoping in the strange metal regime.

description: This document is the deliverable “D7.2 – Dissemination Plan” of the European project “SIMPATICO - SIMplifying the interaction with Public Administration Through Information technology for Citizens and cOmpanies” (hereinafter also referred to as “SIMPATICO”, project reference: 692819).

SIMPATICO addresses a strategic challenge towards the innovation and modernization of the public sector: the need to offer a more efficient and more effective experience to companies and citizens in their daily interaction with Public Administration (PA) by (i) offering a personalized delivery of PA online services; (ii) enabling a better comprehension of the complex processes and documents (forms, regulations, etc.) behind these services; (iii) engaging them to improve the administration processes and services. SIMPATICO's goal is to improve the experience of citizens and companies in their daily interactions with the public administration by providing a personalized delivery of e-services based on advanced cognitive system technologies and by promoting an active engagement of people for the continuous improvement of the interaction with these services.

This report is intended to be a guideline for dissemination activities planned in the SIMPATICO project. Starting from a brief description of the project it addresses key elements of a sounding dissemination strategy, going through definition of its objectives and messages SIMPATICO would like to share with its audience. Further on it considers media and activities that are suggested to achieve defined objectives with some key activities identified in each country. A Dissemination Activity Report template to monitor and report those activities is proposed to facilitate further analysis of dissemination results.

A two directions dissemination approach has been suggested including achievements communication and attraction for new stakeholders for future exploitation of project results. Stakeholders management and engagement is going to be thoroughly addressed by deliverables of another project Work Package (WP6); in this document their engagement and management has been addressed only to identify an overall approach.

Once targets and related messages have been defined a detailed list of activities and media involved has been provided, although this includes only major and assessed initiatives. Other incoming initiatives including local ones will be presented in periodic reports.

description: Hospitals are required to report all-cause 30-day readmissions for patients discharged with heart failure. Same-cause readmissions have received less attention but may differ for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) versus heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The ARIC study began abstracting medical records for cohort members hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in 2005. ADHF was validated by physician review, with HFrEF defined by ejection fraction <50%. Recurrent admissions for ADHF were analyzed within 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year of the index hospitalization using repeat-measures Cox regression models. All recurrent ADHF admissions per patient were counted rather than the more typical analysis of only the first occurring readmission. From 2005 to 2014, 1,133 cohort members survived at least 1 hospitalization for ADHF and had ejection fraction recorded. Half were classified as HFpEF. Patients with HFpEF were more often women and had more co-morbidities. The overall ADHF readmission rate was greatest within 30 days of discharge but was higher for patients with HFrEF (115 vs 88 readmissions per 100 person-years). After adjustments for demographics, year of admission, and co-morbidities, there was a trend for higher ADHF readmissions with HFrEF, relative to HFpEF, at 30 days (hazard ratio [HR] 1.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.92 to 2.18), 90 days (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.85), 6 months (HR 1.47, 95% CI, 1.18 to 1.84), and 1 year (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.70) of follow-up. In conclusion, patients with HFrEF have a greater burden of short- and long-term readmissions for recurrent ADHF.

description: Background and Purpose: The Severity-Based Stroke Triage Algorithm for Emergency Medical Services endorses routing patients with suspected large vessel occlusion acute ischemic strokes directly to endovascular stroke centers (ESCs). We sought to evaluate different specifications of this algorithm within a region. Methods: We developed a discrete event simulation environment to model patients with suspected stroke transported according to algorithm specifications, which varied by stroke severity screen and permissible additional transport time for routing patients to ESCs. We simulated King County, Washington, and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, distributing patients geographically into census tracts. Transport time to the nearest hospital and ESC was estimated using trafficbased travel times. We assessed undertriage, overtriage, transport time, and the number-needed-to-route, defined as the number of patients enduring additional transport to route one large vessel occlusion patient to an ESC. Results: Undertriage was higher and overtriage was lower in King County compared with Mecklenburg County for each specification. Overtriage variation was primarily driven by screen (eg, 13%-55% in Mecklenburg County and 10%-40% in King County). Transportation time specifications beyond 20 minutes increased overtriage and decreased undertriage in King County but not Mecklenburg County. A low-versus high-specificity screen routed 3.7× more patients to ESCs. Emergency medical services spent nearly twice the time routing patients to ESCs in King County compared with Mecklenburg County. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate how discrete event simulation can facilitate informed decision making to optimize emergency medical services stroke severity-based triage algorithms. This is the first step toward developing a mature simulation to predict patient outcomes.

Colossians, cosmology and Christ: A study into Colossians 1:15-17 with insights from Plato's Timaeus, Philo of Alexandria and middle Platonism
Creators: name: Burow, Matthew
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2018

description: Colossians 1:15-20 has often been noted for its distinctive use of language and theological nuance, in particular, its ‘cosmic’ Christology. Pauline and Colossians research have identified Plato’s Timaeus, Middle Platonism and Philo of Alexandria as potentially offering beneficial insight into this Colossian ‘hymn’ and for the letter as a whole. Unfortunately, to date, these identifications have lacked a thorough treatment and have seldom been more than assertions or short, incidental statements that are part of larger projects in Biblical studies. This thesis has undertaken to test and advance the above assertions by providing a clear method and a thorough examination. This thesis has selected Colossians 1:15-17, a notable expression of the author’s Christology and cosmology. The method proposed for examining Colossians 1:15-17 is an analysis of the passage’s terminology and syntactical constructions, and a demonstration of its distinctiveness within the corpus Paulinum. These distinctives are then compared with Platonic texts, primarily Timaeus and the ‘middle platonic’ exposition of Jewish scripture expressed in Philonic corpus. Upon completing the investigation, the selected text was found to be highly distinctive and where these distinctives were indicated, overt lexicographical and conceptual similarities were found with Timaeus and how it was used by Philo of Alexandria. The implications of these findings present similar beneficial insight for the rest of the Colossian hymn (1:18-20) and the wider distinctive language of Colossians.
The Stereo Experiment: Neutrino Spectrum Emitted By The Ill Research Reactor.
Creators: name: Lhuillier, david
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: reactor neutrino fission spectrum

description: The STEREO experiment is measuring the antineutrino flux emitted by the reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble-France. About 400 antineutrinos per effective day of data taking are currently detected. The target volume, segmented in 6 detector cells, allows for a search of a light sterile neutrino in a way independent of the reactor parameters (see poster by P. Del Amo Sanchez). However the detected spectrum also provides a new reference of antineutrino fission-spectrum, with virtually pure contribution from the 235U isotope given the very high enrichment of the nuclear fuel. In this poster we will present the calculations performed to compare this upcoming new experimental reference with a predicted spectrum. This includes the determination of the accuracy of the thermal power, the estimation of off-equilibrium effects for typical 50-days long cycles and the neutrinos emitted by the spent fuel stored on site and activated materials. Finally the normalization of the reference beta fission-spectra measured at the ILL in the 80’s will be discussed.

description: We devise a novel resummation prescription based on the method of finite-part integration [Galapon EA. 2017 Proc. R. Soc A 473, 20160567. (doi:10.1098/rspa.2016.0567)] to perform a constrained extrapolation of the divergent weak-field perturbative expansion for the Heisenberg–Euler Lagrangian to the non-perturbative strong magnetic and electric field regimes. In the latter case, the prescription allowed us to reconstruct the non-perturbative imaginary part from a finite collection of the real expansion coefficients. We also demonstrate the utility of the various equivalent representations of Hadamard’s finite part in deriving the exact closed form for the Heisenberg–Euler Lagrangian from the non-perturbative integral representation.

description: We analyze the quantum limit of sensitivity in four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM), which has emerged as a favored technique for imaging the structure of a wide variety of materials, including biological and other radiation-sensitive materials. 4D-STEM is an indirect (computational) imaging technique, which uses a scanning beam, and records the scattering distribution in momentum (diffraction) space for each beam position. We find that, in measuring a sample's electrostatic potential, the quantum Fisher information from 4D-STEM can match that from real-space phase-contrast imaging. Near-optimum quantum Fisher information is achieved using a delocalized speckled probe. However, owing to the detection in the diffraction plane, 4D-STEM ultimately enables only about half of the quantum limit, whereas Zernike phase-contrast imaging enables the quantum limit for all spatial frequencies admitted by the optical system. On the other hand, 4D-STEM can yield information on spatial frequencies well beyond those accessible by phase-contrast TEM. Our conclusions extend to analogous imaging modalities using coherent scalar visible light and x-rays.

description: Summary: Raw nanopore signals can be analyzed while they are being generated, a process known as real-time analysis. Real-time analysis of raw signals is essential to utilize the unique features that nanopore sequencing provides, enabling the early stopping of the sequencing of a read or the entire sequencing run based on the analysis. The state-of-the-art mechanism, RawHash, offers the first hash-based efficient and accurate similarity identification between raw signals and a reference genome by quickly matching their hash values. In this work, we introduce RawHash2, which provides major improvements over RawHash, including a more sensitive quantization and chaining implementation, weighted mapping decisions, frequency filters to reduce ambiguous seed hits, minimizers for hash-based sketching, and support for the R10.4 flow cell version and various data formats such as POD5 and SLOW5. Compared to RawHash, RawHash2 provides better F1 accuracy (on average by 10.57% and up to 20.25%) and better throughput (on average by 4.0x and up to 9.9x) than RawHash. Availability and Implementation: RawHash2 is available at https://github.com/CMU-SAFARI/RawHash. We also provide the scripts to fully reproduce our results on our GitHub page.

Research design and methods: We assessed 9754 ARIC cohort participants who were free of diabetes at baseline. Logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate a modified FINDRISC for predicting incident diabetes after 9 years of follow-up, overall and by race/gender group. The modified FINDRISC used comprised age, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure medication and family history. Results: The mean FINDRISC (range, 2 [lowest risk] to 17 [highest risk]) for black women was higher (9.9 ± 3.6) than that for black men (7.6 ± 3.9), white women (8.0 ± 3.6) and white men (7.6 ± 3.5). The incidence of diabetes increased generally across deciles of FINDRISC for all 4 race/gender groups. ROC curve statistics for the FINDRISC showed the highest area under the curve for white women (0.77) and the lowest for black men (0.70). Conclusions: We used a modified FINDRISC to predict the 9-year risk of incident diabetes in a biracial US population. The modified risk score can be useful for early screening of incident diabetes in biracial populations, which may be helpful for early interventions to delay or prevent diabetes.

description: Background Risk-prediction models specifically for hospitalized heart failure with preserved ejection fraction are lacking. Methods and Results We analyzed data from the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) Study Heart Failure Community Surveillance to create and validate a risk score predicting mortality in patients ≥55 years of age admitted with acute decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (ejection fraction ≥50%). A modified version of the risk-prediction model for acute heart failure developed from patients in the EFFECT (Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment) study was used as a composite predictor of 28-day and 1-year mortalities and evaluated together with other potential predictors in a stepwise logistic regression. The derivation sample consisted of 1852 hospitalizations from 2005 to 2011 (mean age, 77 years; 65% women; 74% white). Risk scores were created from the identified predictors and validated in hospitalizations from 2012 to 2013 (n=821). Mortality in the derivation and validation sample was 11% and 8% at 28 days and 34% and 31% at 1 year. The modified EFFECT score, including age, systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, sodium, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hemoglobin, was a powerful predictor of mortality. Another important predictor for both 28-day and 1-year mortalities was hypoxia. The risk scores were well calibrated and had good discrimination in the derivation sample (area under the curve: 0.76 for 28-day and 0.72 for 1-year mortalities) and validation sample (area under the curve: 0.73 and 0.71, respectively). Conclusions Mortality after acute decompensation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is high, with one third of patients dying within a year. A prediction tool may allow for greater discrimination of the highest risk patients. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00005131.

description: Shadow tomography aims to build a classical description of a quantum state from a sequence of simple random measurements. Physical observables are then reconstructed from the resulting classical shadow. Shadow protocols which use single-body random measurements are simple to implement and capture few-body observables efficiently, but do not apply to systems with fundamental number conservation laws, such as ultracold atoms. We address this shortcoming by proposing and analyzing a new local shadow protocol adapted to such systems. The "All-Pairs" protocol requires one layer of two-body gates and only $\textrm{poly}(V)$ samples to reconstruct arbitrary few body observables. Moreover, by exploiting the permutation symmetry of the protocol, we derive a linear time post-processing algorithm. We provide a proof-of-principle reference implementation and demonstrate the reconstruction of 2- and 4-point functions in a paired Luttinger liquid of hardcore bosons.

description: Quantum gas microscopes have revolutionized quantum simulations with ultracold atoms, allowing to measure local observables and snapshots of quantum states. However, measurements so far were mostly carried out in the occupation basis. Here, we demonstrate how all kinetic operators, such as kinetic energy or current operators, can be measured and manipulated with single bond resolution. Beyond simple expectation values of these observables, the single-shot measurements allow to access full counting statistics and complex correlation functions. Our work paves the way for the implementation of efficient quantum state tomography and hybrid quantum computing protocols for itinerant particles on a lattice. In addition, we demonstrate how site-resolved programmable potentials enable a spatially-selective, parallel readout in different bases as well as the engineering of arbitrary initial states.

description: Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is a machine learning problem that deals with recognizing human facial expressions. While existing work has achieved performance improvements in recent years, FER in the wild and under challenging conditions remains a challenge. In this paper, a lightweight patch and attention network based on MobileNetV1, referred to as PAtt-Lite, is proposed to improve FER performance under challenging conditions. A truncated ImageNet-pre-trained MobileNetV1 is utilized as the backbone feature extractor of the proposed method. In place of the truncated layers is a patch extraction block that is proposed for extracting significant local facial features to enhance the representation from MobileNetV1, especially under challenging conditions. An attention classifier is also proposed to improve the learning of these patched feature maps from the extremely lightweight feature extractor. The experimental results on public benchmark databases proved the effectiveness of the proposed method. PAtt-Lite achieved state-of-the-art results on CK+, RAF-DB, FER2013, FERPlus, and the challenging conditions subsets for RAF-DB and FERPlus.

description: The use of learning-based methods for optimizing cellular radio access networks (RAN) has received increasing attention in recent years. This coincides with a rapid increase in the number of cell sites worldwide, driven largely by dramatic growth in cellular network traffic. Training and maintaining learned models that work well across a large number of cell sites has thus become a pertinent problem. This paper proposes a scalable framework for constructing a reinforcement learning policy bank that can perform RAN optimization across a large number of cell sites with varying traffic patterns. Central to our framework is a novel application of anomaly detection techniques to assess the compatibility between sites (tasks) and the policy bank. This allows our framework to intelligently identify when a policy can be reused for a task, and when a new policy needs to be trained and added to the policy bank. Our results show that our approach to compatibility assessment leads to an efficient use of computational resources, by allowing us to construct a performant policy bank without exhaustively training on all tasks, which makes it applicable under real-world constraints.
Trends in Heart Failure Incidence in the Community: A Gathering Storm

description: In populations around the world, a gathering storm of cardiovascular disease occurrence is building on the horizon, the likes of which we have not seen in decades. Between 1970 and 2010, age-adjusted cardiovascular mortality rates declined dramatically in almost all Western nations; in many countries, rates fell by ≥70%. However, in 2016, Sidney et al1 reported that in the United States, a substantial deceleration in the decline of all cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke mortality rates began over the past 5 years, signaling a dramatic shift. Prompted by this report, Lloyd-Jones suggested that perhaps we are now just beginning to “reap what we have sown” in the obesity epidemic over the past several decades. It is not a new concept that the Western world’s obesity epidemic can affect population health. What is less well documented is whether the epidemic obesity is beginning to reverse long-standing declines in disease incidence. A recent report from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention indicates that between 2014 and 2015, age-adjusted death rates in the United States increased for 8 of 10 leading causes of death, including cardiovascular disease rates. Given that heart disease accounts for >30% of all deaths in the United States, the 0.9% increase in age-adjusted mortality from heart disease is of particular concern.
A novel feature selection framework for incomplete data

description: Feature selection on incomplete datasets is an exceptionally challenging task. Existing methods address this challenge by first employing imputation methods to complete the incomplete data and then conducting feature selection based on the imputed data. Since imputation and feature selection are entirely independent steps, the importance of features cannot be considered during imputation. However, in real-world scenarios or datasets, different features have varying degrees of importance. To address this, we propose a novel incomplete data feature selection framework that considers feature importance. The framework mainly consists of two alternating iterative stages: the M-stage and the W-stage. In the M-stage, missing values are imputed based on a given feature importance vector and multiple initial imputation results. In the W-stage, an improved reliefF algorithm is employed to learn the feature importance vector based on the imputed data. Specifically, the feature importance vector obtained in the current iteration of the W-stage serves as input for the next iteration of the M-stage. Experimental results on both artificially generated and real incomplete datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other approaches significantly.

description: Dense systems of active matter exhibit highly dynamic collective motion characterized by intermingled vortices, referred to as active turbulence. The interaction between these vortices is key to controlling turbulent dynamics, and a promising approach for revealing the rules governing their interaction is geometric confinement. In this study, we investigate the vortex-pairing patterns in confined bacterial suspensions as a model frustrated system in which a perfect antiferromagnetic state is prohibited. We found that three-body vortex interactions exhibited anomalous pairing-order transition from co-rotational vortex-pairing to counter-rotating patterns with frustration. Although an active matter system is in non-equilibrium, our theory based on bending energy accounts for significant features including pattern transition and shift of the transition point in frustrated systems. Moreover, the interplay between the chirality in collective motion and frustration in vortex pairing creates a collective rotational flow under the broad geometric conditions of a confined space. Our results show that frustrated vortex patterning promotes a geometric approach for arranging active turbulence in microfluidic systems.
