title: Acculturative Stress, Psychological Flexibility, and Cardiovascular Health Behaviors Among Second Generation Arab Americans in the Greater Washington DC Region
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Arab Americans are under-represented in cardiovascular (CV) research, but recent evidence reveals they are at disproportionate risk for poor CV health behaviors when compared to the overall United States of America population. The proposed study is designed to measure the impact of two factors, acculturative stress and psychological flexibility, on CV health behaviors among second generation Arab Americans in the Greater Washington DC region. The outcome variable will be measured using the CV Health Behaviors Questionnaire adapted from the American Heart Association Life’s Simple 7 (LSS). Participants will be recruited from five local churches and mosques and George Mason University where Arab Americans attend. The expected sample size (~300) is based upon a power analysis. Correlational and multivariate analyses will be performed.

description: The transmembrane metalloprotease ADAM10 sheds a range of cell surface proteins, including ligands and receptors of the Notch, Eph, and erbB families, thereby activating signaling pathways critical for tumor initiation and maintenance. ADAM10 is thus a promising therapeutic target. Although widely expressed, its activity is normally tightly regulated. We now report prevalence of an active form of ADAM10 in tumors compared with normal tissues, in mouse models and humans, identified by our conformation-specific antibody mAb 8C7. Structure/function experiments indicate mAb 8C7 binds an active conformation dependent on disulfide isomerization and oxidative conditions, common in tumors. Moreover, this active ADAM10 form marks cancer stem-like cells with active Notch signaling, known to mediate chemoresistance. Importantly, specific targeting of active ADAM10 with 8C7 inhibits Notch activity and tumor growth in mouse models, particularly regrowth after chemotherapy. Our results indicate targeted inhibition of active ADAM10 as a potential therapy for ADAM10-dependent tumor development and drug resistance.

description: Recently, the entanglement dynamics of two harmonic oscillators initially prepared in a separable-coherent state was demonstrated to offer a pathway for prime number identification. This article presents a generalized approach and outlines a deterministic algorithm making possible the implementation of this theoretical concept on scalable fault-tolerant qubit-based quantum computers. We prove that the diagonal unitary operations employed in our algorithm exhibit a polynomial-time complexity of degree two, contrasting with the previously reported exponential complexity of general diagonal unitaries.

description: A new generation of neutrino observatories will search for PeV-EeV neutrinos interacting in the ice by detecting radio pulses. Extended air showers propagating into the ice will form an important background and could be a valuable calibration signal. We present results from a Monte-Carlo simulation framework developed to fully simulate radio emission from cosmic-ray particle cascades as observed by in-ice radio detectors in the polar regions. The framework involves a modified version of CoREAS (a module of CORSIKA 7) to simulate in-air radio emission and a GEANT4-based framework for simulating in-ice radio emission from cosmic-ray showers as observed by in-ice antennas. The particles that reach the surface of the polar ice sheet at the end of the CORSIKA 7 simulation are injected into the GEANT4-based shower simulation code that takes the particles and propagates them further into the ice sheet, using an exponential density profile for the ice. The framework takes into account curved ray paths caused by the exponential refractive index profiles of air and ice. We present the framework and discuss some key features of the radio signal and radio shower footprint for in-ice observers.

description: Objective: This paper reports on fertility knowledge and intentions to have children among a national sample of students in years 10–12. Method: Data were from the Fifth National Survey of Australian Secondary Students and Sexual Health. Students identified factors that could affect fertility, if they wanted children and at what age. Results: Most students wanted to have children (77%). Of those who wanted children or were unsure (n=1,780), 54% were able to identify six of eight factors that could affect fertility. Male students had poorer knowledge than females. Poorer knowledge was also reported by male students who were born overseas or used marijuana and by female students who were sexually active or religious. More than half the students (59%) wanted their first child aged 25–29, while 19% wanted their first child after 30. Intentions to have children at an earlier age were associated with being religious, sexually active (females), and using marijuana (males). Students not exclusively attracted to the opposite sex were more likely to want children at an older age. Conclusions and implications: Most students typically want children in their late 20s. Many were unaware of factors that could affect their fertility and there was a mismatch between intentions and likely behaviour. These factors could be addressed as part of relationship education.
Infinite Grassmann Time-Evolving Matrix Product Operator Method in the Steady State

description: We present an infinite Grassmann time-evolving matrix product operator method for quantum impurity problems, which directly works in the steady state. The method embraces the well-established infinite matrix product state algorithms with the recently developed GTEMPO method, and benefits from both sides: it obtains real-time Green's functions without sampling noises and bath discretization error, it is applicable for any temperature without the sign problem, its computational cost is independent of the transient dynamics and does not scale with the number of baths. We benchmark the method on the finite-temperature equilibrium Green's function in the noninteracting limit against exact solutions and in the single-orbital Anderson impurity model against GTEMPO calculations. We also study the zero-temperature non-equilibrium steady state of an impurity coupled to two baths with a voltage bias, obtaining consistent particle currents with existing calculations. The method is ideal for studying steady-state quantum transport, and can be readily used as an efficient real-time impurity solver in the dynamical mean field theory and its non-equilibrium extension.

description: Background: Waiting lists for treatment are common in outpatient and community services, Existing methods for managing access and triage to these services can lead to inequities in service delivery, inefficiencies and divert resources from frontline care. Evidence from two controlled studies indicates that an alternative to the traditional "waitlist and triage" model known as STAT (Specific Timely Appointments for Triage) may be successful in reducing waiting times without adversely affecting other aspects of patient care. This trial aims to test whether the model is cost effective in reducing waiting time across multiple services, and to measure the impact on service provision, health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction. Methods/design: A stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial has been designed to evaluate the impact of the STAT model in 8 community health and outpatient services. The primary outcome will be waiting time from referral to first appointment. Secondary outcomes will be nature and quantity of service received (collected from all patients attending the service during the study period and health-related quality of life (AQOL-8D), patient satisfaction, health care utilisation and cost data (collected from a subgroup of patients at initial assessment and after 12 weeks). Data will be analysed with a multiple multi-level random-effects regression model that allows for cluster effects. An economic evaluation will be undertaken alongside the clinical trial. Discussion: This paper outlines the study protocol for a fully powered prospective stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial (SWCRCT) to establish whether the STAT model of access and triage can reduce waiting times applied across multiple settings, without increasing health service costs or adversely impacting on other aspects of patient care. If successful, it will provide evidence for the effectiveness of a practical model of access that can substantially reduce waiting time for outpatient and community services with subsequent benefits for both efficiency of health systems and patient care.
Gravito-capillary pinning of pendant droplets under wet uneven surfaces
Creators: name: Jambon-Puillet, Etienne
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Pendant drops spontaneously appear on the underside of wet surfaces through the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. These droplets have no contact line, they are connected to a thin liquid film with which they exchange liquid and are thus mobile: any perturbation will set them in motion. Here, using experiments, numerical simulations, and theory I show that pendant drops sliding under a slightly tilted wet substrate can pin on topographic defects, despite their lack of contact line. Instead, this pinning force has a gravito-capillary origin: liquid has to moves up or down and the interface has to deforms for the drop the pass the defect. I propose a semi-analytical model for arbitrary substrate topographies that matches the pinning force observed experimentally and numerically, without any fitting parameter. I finally demonstrate how to harness this pinning force to guide pendant drops on complex paths.
Direct demonstration of bulk-boundary correspondence in higher-order topological superconductors with chiral symmetry

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A higher-order topological superconductor can experience topological phase transitions driven by variations in a bulk parameter without closing the bulk gap. This presents a challenge in establishing a direct bulk-boundary correspondence, as conventional bulk invariants change only upon the closure of the bulk gap. Our study of two-dimensional higher-order phases in the DIII and BDI symmetry classes, both characterized by chiral symmetry, demonstrates that zero-energy crossings facilitate a direct connection between the bulk Hamiltonian and Majorana zero modes at corners. These crossings, emerging as boundary conditions vary, can be identified from the bulk Hamiltonian. For both classes, we introduce a pair of topological invariants derived from these zero-energy crossings to characterize the higher-order topology. Phases in which at least one invariant assumes a nonzero value are anticipated to host Majorana corner modes. Moreover, these invariants may change with the closure of either bulk or edge gaps, thereby providing a clear and direct demonstration of bulk-boundary correspondence in higher-order phases. Our findings offer a promising framework for systematically exploring higher-order topology through boundary condition modulation.

description: Results are presented for the dynamics of edge modes in interacting Floquet Ising chains. It is shown that in addition to the quasi-stable $0$ and $π$ edge modes, a third long lived edge mode arising from the operator product of the $0$ and $π$ edge modes exists. Depending on the microscopic parameters, this Floquet product mode is shown to have a substantially longer lifetime than the individual $0$ and $π$ modes. This is triggered by a scattering process which converts a $0$ mode into a $π$ mode while scattering two bulk excitations. This process can lead to a rapid decay of both $0$ and $π$ mode without affecting the product mode.

description: Transport probes the motion of quasiparticles in response to external excitations. Apart from the well-known electric and thermoelectric transport, acoustoelectric transport induced by traveling acoustic waves has been rarely explored. Here, by adopting a hybrid nanodevices integrated with piezoelectric substrates, we establish a simple design of acoustoelectric transport with gate tunability. We fabricate dual-gated acoustoelectric devices based on BN-encapsuled graphene on LiNbO3. Longitudinal and transverse acoustoelectric voltages are generated by launching pulsed surface acoustic wave. The gate dependence of zero-field longitudinal acoustoelectric signal presents strikingly similar profiles as that of Hall resistivity, providing a valid approach for extracting carrier density without magnetic field. In magnetic fields, acoustoelectric quantum oscillations appear due to Landau quantization, which are more robust and pronounced than Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. Our work demonstrates a feasible acoustoelectric setup with gate tunability, which can be extended to the broad scope of various Van der Waals materials.

description: The TIM22 complex mediates the import of hydrophobic carrier proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. While the TIM22 machinery has been well characterised in yeast, the human complex remains poorly characterised. Here, we identify Tim29 (C19orf52) as a novel, metazoan-specific subunit of the human TIM22 complex. The protein is integrated into the mitochondrial inner membrane with it’s C-terminus exposed to the intermembrane space. Tim29 is required for the stability of the TIM22 complex and functions in the assembly of hTim22. Furthermore, Tim29 contacts the Translocase of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane, TOM complex, enabling a mechanism for transport of hydrophobic carrier substrates across the aqueous intermembrane space. Identification of Tim29 highlights the significance of analysing mitochondrial import systems across phylogenetic boundaries, which can reveal novel components and mechanisms in higher organisms.
The atomizing/ intubating stylet – an endotracheal tube stylet that allows local anesthesia to be precisely sprayed onto the glottic structures
Creators: name: D. John Doyle
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Background & Objectives: Precise delivery of topical anesthesia to the glottic structures under direct visualization can be valuable in a number of settings. We describe here a prototype Atomizing / Intubating Stylet (AIS) - an endotracheal tube stylet that allows local anesthesia or other drugs to be precisely sprayed onto the glottic structures for awake intubation or for other purposes. It can also be used independently of an endotracheal tube for delivering local anesthesia to the airway glottic structures, either blindly or (more appropriately) under visual guidance.

Materials & Methods: The device consists of 4 elements: [1] a piece of flexible plastic tubing about 5 mm in outer diameter and about 3 mm in inner diameter, and about  37 cm long, inside of which is [2] a piece of solid malleable metal in cylindrical form, just under 3 mm in inner diameter and about 35 cm long. At the distal end of the device is [3] a spray nozzle, about 11mm long and 4 mm in diameter. At the proximal end is [4] a stop-cock used to attach a syringe loaded with a drug such as lidocaine.

Results: In operation, the drug to be delivered to the glottic structures is loaded into a syringe, and under pressure passes through the plastic tubing, and is sprayed out the spray nozzle. The design requires that the metal cylindrical element not be too snug a fit into the plastic tubing so as to allow the passage of drug down the tube. The spray tip may be of any conventional design which is commonly used in liquid spray dispensers, such as in perfume and fragrance administration. This combination of elements provides the medical practitioner with a new and useful device to apply therapeutic solutions to the glottis and elsewhere in a fine mist or spray with a minimum of wasted time or material. The AIS is simple in construction, very easy to use, is well-tolerated by patients and allows local anesthetic agents like lidocaine (or other therapeutic agents) to be sprayed onto the glottic structures with remarkable ease. The fact that it also serves as an endotracheal stylet is an additional advantage.

Conclusion: The immediate and/or future applications of the AIS are for awake intubation or to deliver  pharmaceutical agents to the glottic structures for treating airway edema or facilitating instrumentation of the airway, as in fiberoptic bronchoscopy procedures. The AIS adds additional functionality to the endotracheal stylet commonly used for endotracheal intubation. It is very easy to use. It is simple in construction.

description: Off-the-shelf pre-trained language models have become the de facto standard in NLP pipelines for a multitude of downstream tasks. However, the inability of these models to properly encode numerals limits their performance on tasks requiring numeric comprehension. We introduce strategies to semantically prime numerals in any corpus by generating anchors governed by the distribution of numerals in said corpus, thereby enabling mathematically grounded representations of these numeral tokens. We establish the superiority of our proposed techniques through evaluation on a range of numeracy tasks for both in-domain (seen) and out-domain (unseen) numerals. Further, we expand our empirical evaluations to numerals ranging from 1 to 10 billion, a significantly broader range compared to previous studies of the same nature, and we demonstrate significant improvements in the mathematical grounding of our learned embeddings.

description: X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) deliver x-ray pulses with a coherent flux that is approximately eight orders of magnitude greater than that available from a modern third-generation synchrotron source. The power density of an XFEL pulse may be so high that it can modify the electronic properties of a sample on a femtosecond time scale. Exploration of the interaction of intense coherent x-ray pulses and matter is both of intrinsic scientific interest and of critical importance to the interpretation of experiments that probe the structures of materials using high-brightness femtosecond XFEL pulses. We report observations of the diffraction of extremely intense 32-fs nanofocused x-ray pulses by a powder sample of crystalline C60. We find that the diffraction pattern at the highest available incident power significantly differs from the one obtained using either third-generation synchrotron sources or XFEL sources operating at low output power and does not correspond to the diffraction pattern expected from any known phase of crystalline C60. We interpret these data as evidence of a long-range, coherent dynamic electronic distortion that is driven by the interaction of the periodic array of C60 molecular targets with intense x-ray pulses of femtosecond duration.

description: An experimental crossover research design was utilized to investigate the effects of multimedia-enhanced instruction on the vocabulary acquisition of dual language learners in the early childhood age range. Sixteen 3-year-olds stratified by classroom and randomly assigned to condition participated in an eight-week intervention that incorporated evidence-based strategies to instruct vocabulary. The intervention focused on combining the strategies of multimedia and native language supports in order to increase vocabulary attainment in the areas of expressive and receptive language. Repeated measures given pre-, mid-, and post-intervention were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in the targeted area of vocabulary, as well as the generalized areas of expressive and receptive vocabulary.

description: Question: Does exercise improve postprandial glycaemic control in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus? Design: A systematic review of randomised trials. Participants: Pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. Intervention: Exercise, performed more than once a week, sufficient to achieve an aerobic effect or changes in muscle metabolism. Outcome measures: Postprandial blood glucose, fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin, requirement for insulin, adverse events and adherence. Results: This systematic review identified eight randomised, controlled trials involving 588 participants; seven trials (544 participants) had data that were suitable for meta-analysis. Five trials scored ≥ 6 on the PEDro scale, indicating a relatively low risk of bias. Meta-analysis showed that exercise, as an adjunct to standard care, significantly improved postprandial glycaemic control (MD –0.33 mmol/L, 95% CI –0.49 to –0.17) and lowered fasting blood glucose (MD –0.31 mmol/L, 95% CI –0.56 to –0.05) when compared with standard care alone, with no increase in adverse events. Effects of similar magnitude were found for aerobic and resistance exercise programs, if performed at a moderate intensity or greater, for 20 to 30 minutes, three to four times per week. Meta-analysis did not show that exercise significantly reduced the requirement for insulin. All studies reported that complications or other adverse events were either similar or reduced with exercise. Conclusion: Aerobic or resistance exercise, performed at a moderate intensity at least three times per week, safely helps to control postprandial blood glucose levels and other measures of glycaemic control in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus.

description: Reactome (http://www.reactome.org) is a free, open-source, curated and peer-reviewed knowledgebase of biomolecular pathways. Its aim is to provide intuitive bioinformatics tools for visualisation, interpretation and analysis of pathway knowledge to support basic research, genome analysis, modeling, systems biology and education. Pathways are built from connected “reactions” that encompass many types of biochemical events. Reactions are derived from literature and must cite a publication that experimentally validates them. Pathways are authored by expert biologists and peer reviewed before incorporation into the database. 9,584 reactions in Reactome cover 9,238 human gene products (12,527 including IntAct interactors), supported by 22,838 literature references. Users can search for proteins or compounds and see details of the complexes, reactions and pathways they participate in. Pathway diagrams allow users to examine the molecular events that constitute the steps in pathways and to view details of the proteins, complexes and compounds involved. Different forms of pathways analysis can be performed with the Reactome analysis tools. Users can submit a list of identifiers for overrepresentation analysis or submit quantitative datasets, such as microarray data, for expression analysis. Results of these analyses are overlaid onto the Pathways Overview and Diagram Viewer for easy navigation and interpretation. Interaction data from multiple resources can be used to expand pathways. Interactors from IntAct are included by default in the search feature and can be taken into account in the analysis service. Finally, pathways or all Reactome content can be downloaded in many formats including TSV, CSV, PDF, SBML, BioPax and PSI-MITAB.

description: Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a highly-aggressive heterogeneous malignancy, typically diagnosed at advanced stage. An important area of mesothelioma biology and progression is understanding intercellular communication and the contribution of the secretome. Exosomes are secreted extracellular vesicles shown to shuttle cellular cargo and direct intercellular communication in the tumour microenvironment, facilitate immunoregulation and metastasis. In this study, quantitative proteomics was used to investigate MM-derived exosomes from distinct human models and identify select cargo protein networks associated with angiogenesis, metastasis, and immunoregulation. Utilising bioinformatics pathway/network analyses, and correlation with previous studies on tumour exosomes, we defined a select mesothelioma exosomal signature (mEXOS, 570 proteins) enriched in tumour antigens and various cancer-specific signalling (HPGD/ENO1/OSMR) and secreted modulators (FN1/ITLN1/MAMDC2/PDGFD/GBP1). Notably, such circulating cargo offers unique insights into mesothelioma progression and tumour microenvironment reprogramming. Functionally, we demonstrate that oncogenic exosomes facilitate the migratory capacity of fibroblast/endothelial cells, supporting the systematic model of MM progression associated with vascular remodelling and angiogenesis. We provide biophysical and proteomic characterisation of exosomes, define a unique oncogenic signature (mEXOS), and demonstrate the regulatory capacity of exosomes in cell migration/tube formation assays. These findings contribute to understanding tumour-stromal crosstalk in the context of MM, and potential new diagnostic and therapeutic extracellular targets.

description: Realistic real-time surgical simulators play an increasingly important role in surgical robotics research, such as surgical robot learning and automation, and surgical skills assessment. Although there are a number of existing surgical simulators for research, they generally lack the ability to simulate the diverse types of objects and contact-rich manipulation tasks typically present in surgeries, such as tissue cutting and blood suction. In this work, we introduce CRESSim, a realistic surgical simulator based on PhysX 5 for the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) that enables simulating various contact-rich surgical tasks involving different surgical instruments, soft tissue, and body fluids. The real-world dVRK console and the master tool manipulator (MTM) robots are incorporated into the system to allow for teleoperation through virtual reality (VR). To showcase the advantages and potentials of the simulator, we present three examples of surgical tasks, including tissue grasping and deformation, blood suction, and tissue cutting. These tasks are performed using the simulated surgical instruments, including the large needle driver, suction irrigator, and curved scissor, through VR-based teleoperation.

description: Myopia (short-sightedness) affects 1.45 billion people worldwide, many of whom will develop sight-threatening secondary disorders. Myopic eyes are characterized by excessive size while hyperopic (long-sighted) eyes are typically small. The biological and genetic mechanisms underpinning the retina's local control of these growth patterns remain unclear. In the present study, we used RNA sequencing to examine gene expression in the retina/RPE/choroid across 3 days of optically-induced myopia and hyperopia induction in chick. Data were analyzed for differential expression of single genes, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to identify gene sets correlated with ocular axial length and refraction across lens groups. Like previous studies, we found few single genes that were differentially-expressed in a sign-of-defocus dependent manner (only BMP2 at 1 day). Using GSEA, however, we are the first to show that more subtle shifts in structural, metabolic, and immune pathway expression are correlated with the eye size and refractive changes induced by lens defocus. Our findings link gene expression with the morphological characteristics of refractive error, and suggest that physiological stress arising from metabolic and inflammatory pathway activation could increase the vulnerability of myopic eyes to secondary pathologies.
The wet concrete fallacy: an introspection of an Arabic translator

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: This introspective case study explores the evolving power dynamic between the translator and language, framed through the lens of absurdism and the Mastery learning style. Drawing on decades of personal experience as a translator, interpreter, educator, and scholar, the author reflects on moments of linguistic struggle and agency. By creating and translating intermediary texts—those mentally constructed between the source and target—the author demonstrates how a translator can both dominate and submit to language, achieving communicative fidelity and functional beauty. The study embraces self-reflection as a valid research method, challenging traditional research rigidity and positioning subjectivity as insight rather than bias. Ultimately, it argues that translator dominance (DomTrans) arises not from defying language, but from understanding and ethically manipulating its ethnolinguistic forces. The translator becomes not merely a conduit, but a co-author—grasping the bird of language lightly enough to keep it alive, yet firmly enough to shape its flight.
