description:
Trace element compositions of carbonate microbialites are valuable proxies to reconstruct shallow water microbial environments through Earth's history. Most of the published trace element data of microbial carbonates are obtained from bulk digestion or carbonate leaching of sample powders retrieved from microdrilling or via in situ laser ablation analysis calibrated to external reference materials such as NIST glasses. However, due to the complex formation mechanism of microbial carbonates, huge compositional differences are associated with spatial and lithological sample heterogeneities that cannot be fully resolved with the current analytical methodologies.

Here, we describe a new method using a high-frequency laser ablation (LA) system (NWR Image GEO193) coupled to inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ICP-TOF-MS) and internal calibration via matrix-matching nanopowder carbonate reference materials to obtain rapid high-resolution quantitative trace element maps.

Our mapping results reveal that detrital elements such as, aluminium (Al), thorium (Th), bioactive elements such as cadmium (Cd) iron (Fe) barium (Ba) and nickel (Ni), and particle-reactive elements such as rare earth elements (REE) have concentrations distributions that correspond with the intrinsic bio-sedimentary layering in microbialite samples.

Here we present fully quantitative LA-ICP-TOF-MS trace element maps of a variety of microbialites from the Phanerozoic to the Archean. Our promising new method for rapidly obtaining spatial geochemical characteristics of microbialites that build the groundwork for follow-up research such as in situ U-Pb dating on truly authigenic carbonate phases or stable novel metal isotope analyses on individual layers to study bio-essential metal uptake in diverse microbial communities through deep time.
Structure-Aware Classification using Supervised Dictionary Learning

description: In this paper, we propose a supervised dictionary learning algorithm that aims to preserve the local geometry in both dimensions of the data. A graph-based regularization explicitly takes into account the local manifold structure of the data points. A second graph regularization gives similar treatment to the feature domain and helps in learning a more robust dictionary. Both graphs can be constructed from the training data or learned and adapted along the dictionary learning process. The combination of these two terms promotes the discriminative power of the learned sparse representations and leads to improved classification accuracy. The proposed method was evaluated on several different datasets, representing both single-label and multi-label classification problems, and demonstrated better performance compared with other dictionary based approaches.
School and Community Leaders’ Experiences Implementing Critical Well-Being During the Dual Pandemics

description: Emerging research has revealed the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had on communities of color (Wilder et al., 2021), and the subsequent rising rates of racialized trauma that has occurred due to increasing racial injustice in the United States (Horsford et al., 2021). Although calls have been made for trauma-informed and social and emotional learning efforts in schools to become more race conscious (Alvarez, 2020), healing centered (Ginwright, 2018), equity focused (Venet, 2021), and promote justice (Jagers et al., 2019); such articulations have not been documented in K-12 settings during this particular context. In this study--School and Community Leaders’ Experiences Implementing Critical Well-Being During the Dual Pandemic -- I document how a model called Critical Well-Being, which draws from, and remixes these aforementioned discourses, was implemented in a school community during the 20210/2022 school. This study particularly focuses on school and community leaders' experiences implementing this effort to mitigate racial trauma and promote thriving with students of color, in a State that embraced a legislative ban against CRT midyear. Drawing on a corpus of data including 18 interviews, a focus group, field notes, school records, and observations I illustrate the experiences of six school and community leaders implementing this effort. This research provides a timely account on the challenges and insights that can significantly inform state and district policy, practice, and research in trauma informed care, healing centered engagement, social and emotional learning, and school-leadership that places student and community voice at the center.

description:
Apatite is an important host for halogens and incompatible trace elements, in particular for LILE and REE. The P-T stability of its high-P breakdown product tuite and its potential role as deep-Earth volatile and trace element carrier, however, is still largely unconstrained in both subduction zone and convecting mantle P-T regimes.

To investigate the upper P-T stability limit of tuite and its compositional evolution, multianvil experiments were conducted at 15 to 25 GPa and 1600 to 2000 °C, using a spinel lherzolite doped with β-Ca3(PO4)2, halogens, and a trace element mix containing selected LIL, HFS and REE as starting material. The phases stable in this P-T range include tuite, majoritic garnet, ringwoodite, forsterite, clinoenstatite, bridgmanite, Ca-perovskite, ferropericlase, and melt.

Preliminary SIMS data indicate that Ca-perovskite and tuite are the major REE reservoirs. At 20 GPa/1600°C, REEtuite/REECa-Pv concentration ratios are 0.17 for Ce, 0.28 for Gd and 0.09 for Lu. At 25 GPa/1600°C these ratios are 0.09, 0.09, and 0.04, respectively. Both tuite and Ca-Pv strongly fractionate LREE, resulting in steep chondrite-normalized [1] REE-patterns. At 20 GPa/1600°C, for example, CeN/LuN ratios are 21.8 and 11.2 for tuite and Ca-Pv, respectively. This partitioning behaviour indicates that Ca-Pv is likely to be the major host for REE in primitive mantle, whereas tuite is an additional important REE-carrier and the most important P-carrier in metasomatically altered mantle.

description: Weak localization was observed and determined in a black phosphorus (bP) field-effect transistor 65 nm thick. The weak localization behaviour was found to be in excellent agreement with the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka model for fields up to 1~T, from which characteristic scattering lengths could be inferred. The dephasing length $L_ϕ$ was found to increase linearly with increasing hole density attaining a maximum value of 55 nm at a hole density of approximately $10^{13} cm^{-2}$ inferred from the Hall effect. The temperature dependence of $L_ϕ$ was also investigated and above 1~K, it was found to decrease weaker than the $L_ϕ\propto T^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ dependence characteristic of electron-electron scattering in the presence of elastic scattering in two dimensions. Rather, the observed power law was found to be close to that observed previously in other quasi-one-dimensional systems such as metallic nanowires and carbon nanotubes. We attribute our result to the crystal structure of bP which host a `puckered' honeycomb lattice forming a strongly anisotropic medium

Creators: name: Stawski, Tomasz Maciej

Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)

description:
Calcium sulfate minerals are abundant in natural and engineered environments in the form of three phases: gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), bassanite (CaSO4·0.5H2O), and anhydrite (CaSO4). Due to their relevance in natural and industrial processes, the formation pathways of these phases from aqueous solution have been the subject of intensive research. A number of studies have already revealed that nucleation in the CaSO4-H2O system is non-classical, where the formation of the different crystalline phases involves several steps including a common amorphous precursor.

In this contribution we show that the formation of the amorphous phase involves the aggregation of small primary particles into larger disordered aggregates exhibiting a "brick-in-the-wall" structure. The actual crystallization occurs by the restructuring and coalescence of the particles ("bricks") into a given calcium sulfate phase depending on the physicochemical conditions of the solution. Such a process yields a final imperfect mesocrystal, composed of smaller domains rather than a continuous single crystal structure.

These observations reveal that organic-free calcium sulfate mesocrystals grown by a particle mediated-pathway might preserve in the final crystal structure an “imprint” of their growth pathways. Indeed, by considering large anhydrite crystals from the famous Naica Mine we observed a suite of correlated self-similar void defects spanning multiple length-scales. These flaws, in the macroscopic crystal, stem from “seeds of imperfection” originating from an original particle-mediated growth. Hence, building a crystal could be viewed as Nature stacking blocks in a game of Tetris, whilst slowly forgetting the games core concept and failing to fill rows completely.
A Tale of Two Fractals: The Hofstadter Butterfly and The Integral Apollonian Gaskets

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper unveils a mapping between a quantum fractal that describes a physical phenomena, and an abstract geometrical fractal. The quantum fractal is the Hofstadter butterfly discovered in 1976 in an iconic condensed matter problem of electrons moving in a two-dimensional lattice in a transverse magnetic field. The geometric fractal is the integer Apollonian gasket characterized in terms of a 300 BC problem of mutually tangent circles. Both of these fractals are made up of integers. In the Hofstadter butterfly, these integers encode the topological quantum numbers of quantum Hall conductivity. In the Apollonian gaskets an infinite number of mutually tangent circles are nested inside each other, where each circle has integer curvature. The mapping between these two fractals reveals a hidden threefold symmetry embedded in the kaleidoscopic images that describe the asymptotic scaling properties of the butterfly. This paper also serves as a mini review of these fractals, emphasizing their hierarchical aspects in terms of Farey fractions.

description: Effects of iodine annealing to induce bulk superconductivity in Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 have been systematically studied by changing the molar ratio of iodine to the sample and annealing temperature. The optimal condition to induce bulk superconductivity with Tc ~14.5 K and self-field Jc(2 K) ~ 5x10^5 A/cm2 is found to be a molar ratio of iodine of 5-7 % at the annealing temperature of 400 C. Furthermore, the fact that no compounds containing iodine are detected in the crystal and a significant amount of FeTe2 is produced after the iodine annealing strongly indicate that the excess iron is consumed to form FeTe2 and iodine works as a catalyst in this process.

description: We analyze the probability density function (PDF) of waiting times between financial loss exceedances. The empirical PDFs are fitted with the self-excited Hawkes conditional Poisson process with a long power law memory kernel. The Hawkes process is the simplest extension of the Poisson process that takes into account how past events influence the occurrence of future events. By analyzing the empirical data for 15 different financial assets, we show that the formalism of the Hawkes process used for earthquakes can successfully model the PDF of interevent times between successive market losses.

Tracking Neptune's Migration History through High-Perihelion Resonant Trans-Neptunian Objects

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, Sheppard et al. (2016) presented the discovery of seven new trans-Neptunian objects with moderate eccentricities, perihelia beyond 40 AU, and semimajor axes beyond 50 AU. Like the few previously known objects on similar orbits, these objects' semimajor axes are just beyond the Kuiper belt edge and clustered around Neptunian mean motion resonances (MMRs). These objects likely obtained their observed orbits while trapped within MMRs, when the Kozai-Lidov mechanism raised their perihelia and weakened Neptune's dynamical influence. Using numerical simulations that model the production of this population, we find that high-perihelion objects near Neptunian MMRs can constrain the nature and timescale of Neptune's past orbital migration. In particular, the population near the 3:1 MMR (near 62 AU) is especially useful due to its large population and short dynamical evolution timescale. If Neptune finishes migrating within ~100 Myrs or less, we predict over 90% of high-perihelion objects near the 3:1 MMR will have semimajor axes within 1 AU of each other, very near the modern resonance's center. On the other hand, if Neptune's migration takes ~300 Myrs, we expect ~50% of this population to reside in dynamically fossilized orbits over ~1 AU closer to the Sun than the modern resonance. We highlight 2015 KH162 as a likely member of this fossilized 3:1 population. Under any plausible migration scenario, nearly all high-perihelion objects in resonances beyond the 4:1 MMR (near 76 AU) reach their orbits well after Neptune stops migrating and comprise a recently generated, dynamically active population.

description: Rationale & Objective: Patients with glomerular disease (GN) may be at increased risk of severe COVID-19, yet concerns over vaccines causing disease relapse may lead to vaccine hesitancy. We examined the associations of COVID-19 with longitudinal kidney function and proteinuria and compared these to similar associations with COVID-19 vaccination. Study Design: Observational cohort study from July 1, 2021 to Jan. 1, 2023. Setting & Participants: A prospective observational study network of 71 centers from North America and Europe (CureGN) with children and adults with primary minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, or IgA nephropathy. Exposures: COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination. Outcomes: Repeated measure of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); recurrent time-to-event outcome of GN disease worsening as defined by doubling of UPCR to at least 1.5g/g or increase in dipstick urine protein by two ordinal levels to 3+ (300mg/dL) or above. Analytical Approach: Interrupted time series analysis for eGFR. Prognostic matched sequential stratification recurrent event analysis for GN disease worsening. Results: Among 2,055 participants, 722 (35%) reported COVID-19; of these, 92 (13%) were hospitalized and 3 died (<1%). eGFR slope pre-COVID-19 was -1.40ml/min/1.73m2 (SD 0.29), and -4.26ml/min/1.73m2 (SD 3.02) within 6 months post-COVID-19, which were not significantly different (p=0.34). COVID-19 was associated with increased risk of worsening GN disease activity (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.01-1.80). Vaccination was not associated with change in eGFR (-1.34ml/min/1.73m2, SD 0.15 vs -2.16ml/min/1.73m2, SD 1.74; p=0.6) or subsequent GN disease worsening (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.79–1.33) in this cohort. Limitations: Infrequent or short follow-up. Conclusions: Among patients with primary GN, COVID-19 was severe for 1 in 8 cases and was associated with subsequent worsening of GN disease activity, as defined by proteinuria. In contrast, vaccination against COVID-19 was not associated with change in disease activity or kidney function decline. These results support COVID-19 vaccination for patients with GN.

description: Recent spectrum-sharing research has produced a strategy to address spectrum scarcity problems. This novel idea, named cognitive radio, considers that secondary users can opportunistically exploit spectrum holes left temporarily unused by primary users. This presents a competitive scenario among cognitive users, making it suitable for game theory treatment. In this work, we show that the spectrum-sharing benefits of cognitive radio can be increased by designing a medium access control based on quantum game theory. In this context, we propose a model to manage spectrum fairly and effectively, based on a multiple-users multiple-choice quantum minority game. By taking advantage of quantum entanglement and quantum interference, it is possible to reduce the probability of collision problems commonly associated with classic algorithms. Collision avoidance is an essential property for classic and quantum communications systems. In our model, two different scenarios are considered, to meet the requirements of different user strategies.

description: OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with derangement in biomarkers of coagulation and endothelial function and has been likened to the coagulopathy of sepsis. However, clinical laboratory metrics suggest key differences in these pathologies. We sought to determine whether plasma coagulation and fibrinolytic potential in patients with COVID-19 differ compared with healthy donors and critically ill patients with sepsis. Approach and Results: We performed comparative studies on plasmas from a single-center, cross-sectional observational study of 99 hospitalized patients (46 with COVID-19 and 53 with sepsis) and 18 healthy donors. We measured biomarkers of endogenous coagulation and fibrinolytic activity by immunoassays, thrombin, and plasmin generation potential by fluorescence and fibrin formation and lysis by turbidity. Compared with healthy donors, patients with COVID-19 or sepsis both had elevated fibrinogen, d-dimer, soluble TM (thrombomodulin), and plasmin-antiplasmin complexes. Patients with COVID-19 had increased thrombin generation potential despite prophylactic anticoagulation, whereas patients with sepsis did not. Plasma from patients with COVID-19 also had increased endogenous plasmin potential, whereas patients with sepsis showed delayed plasmin generation. The collective perturbations in plasma thrombin and plasmin generation permitted enhanced fibrin formation in both COVID-19 and sepsis. Unexpectedly, the lag times to thrombin, plasmin, and fibrin formation were prolonged with increased disease severity in COVID-19, suggesting a loss of coagulation-initiating mechanisms accompanies severe COVID-19.
CONCLUSIONS: Both COVID-19 and sepsis are associated with endogenous activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, but these diseases differently impact plasma procoagulant and fibrinolytic potential. Dysregulation of procoagulant and fibrinolytic pathways may uniquely contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and sepsis.

Variegated Collective Behaviors in Mechanical and Thermal Metamaterials: Theory and Analysis

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Recent studies facilitated investigations of quasistatic responses of architected material systems in a quest for negative elastic moduli and other unusual basic properties expected at uniform loading conditions. Here, it has been shown that materials with discrete internal structure may also demonstrate strong dependences of their effective (continuum equivalent) mechanical properties on the wavenumber (spatial frequency) of static sinusoidal pressure waves. The Fourier mode stiffness, a ratio of the periodic load amplitude and a response amplitude is a quadratic function of the axial load’s wavenumber in continuum materials. However, in discrete periodic lattices, it has been shown that it has to be a squared sine function of the wavenumber, which flattens down when the wavelength becomes comparable with a unit cell size. Also, a class of beam-like lattice structures, or metabeams under transverse sinusoidal loads is discussed, where the neutral line is shown to deflect either in-phase, out of phase or show no deflection, depending on the beam design parameters, and also on the spatial frequency of the load, contrasting the behavior of continuum beams deflecting always in-phase with static loads. A long-range periodic order and nonlocality of the lattice interaction is essential for this unusual behaviors, and those are particularly pronounced at higher wavenumbers, when the load wavelength becomes comparable with the range of the direct interactions in the lattice. In the discussion of thermal metamaterials, a negative thermal expansion behavior has been discussed and experimentally demonstrated, which occurs rarely in natural materials. Using a universal antichiral metamaterial model with bimetal beams or strips, a generic theory has been developed to predict magnitude of the negative thermal expansion effect from model parameters. Thermal expansivity of the metamaterial is written as an explicit function of temperature and of only three design parameters: relative node size, chirality angle, and a bimetal constant.

description:
Industrial and agricultural waste streams (waste waters, sludges, tailings etc.) which contain high concentrations of NH4+, PO43- and transition metals are environmentally harmful and toxic pollutants. Typically, separate pathways have been considered to extract hazardous and transition metals or phosphate as critical raw materials, independently from each other. Here, we report the synthesis routes for transition metal phosphate (TMP) compounds (M3(PO4)2∙8H2O, NH4MPO4∙6H2O, M = Ni2+, Co2+ arupite/pakhomovsykite and Ni-/Co-struvite), which allow for P, ammonia and metal co-precipitation. The precipitation of arupite/pakhomovskyite and M-struvite from industrial waste waters could be a promising P-recovery route. Through adjusting the reaction conditions, the stability, crystallite size and morphology of the as-obtained TMP could be controlled. Detailed investigations of the precipitation process using ex- and in-situ techniques provided new insights into their non-classical crystallization mechanism/crystal engineering of these materials. These TMPs involve transitional colloidal nanophases which subsequently aggregate and condense to final crystals after extended reaction times. However, the reaction kinetics of the formation of a final crystalline product vary significantly depending on the metal cation involved in the precipitation process. Ni-struvite is stable in a wide reactant concentration range and at different metal/phosphorus (M/P)-ratios, whereas Co tends to form Co-struvite and/or Co-phosphate octahydrate depending on the (M/P)-ratio. The observed various degree of stability could be linked to the octahedral metal coordination environment. The achieved level of control over the precipitates, is highly desirable for 3d- and P-recovery methods. Under this paradigm, the crystals can be potentially upcycled as precursor materials for (electro)catalytical applications.

description: The recent outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-
19) has swept across the United States and is present in
every US state and every major metropolitan area. As
national, state, and local governments have begun implementing
policies aimed at preventing the transmission
and spread of COVID-19, changes in health care delivery
have inevitably emerged. During this extraordinary
time, health care systems and providers are seeking
alternative delivery methods to ensure their patients’
needs are met. Among the many approaches to continue
providing needed care in the wake of physical distancing,
telemedicine, defined as the use of technology to deliver
clinical care remotely, remains a promising yet underutilized
method. The purpose of this commentary is to
explore the use of telemedicine in reaching underserved
patients.

A call to action for public health nurses during the COVID‐19 pandemic

description: Public health nurses (PHNs) are on the frontline of the public health
crisis the world now knows as the COVID-19 pandemic. They serve
on mobile strike teams investigating case-contacts, deliver education
on self-isolation and quarantine through hotlines and home visits,
and interpret the rapidly shifting guidance from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). They are reliable and proven
responders during infectious disease emergencies, providing safe,
effective, and nondiscriminatory care to the communities in which
they serve. Yet, despite their critical role, PHN positions have been
underfunded, left vacant, eliminated, or replaced over the past three
decades. Combined with outsourcing services to agencies that lack
the public health mandate and institutional experience necessary to
provide public health services to communities, the erosion of the
PHN workforce has made us all more vulnerable to both chronic disease
and emerging infectious disease threats.

description: We present an apparatus that converts every pulse of a pulsed light source to a pulse train in which the intensities of the different pulses are samples of the spatial or temporal frequency spectrum of the original pulse. In this way, the spectrum of the incident light can be measured by following the temporal response of a single detector. The apparatus is based on multiple round-trips inside a 2f- cavity-like mirror arrangement in which the spectrum is spread on the back focal plane, where after each round-trip a small section of the spectrum is allowed to escape. The apparatus is fibre-free, offers easy wavelength range tunability, and a prototype built achieves over 10% average efficiency in the near infra red. We demonstrate the application of the prototype for the efficient measurement of the joint spectrum of a non-degenerate bi-photon source in which one of the photons is in the near infra red.

description: We investigate systems of three mutually interacting particles with masses of which the inner is much bigger than the intermediate and the latter is much bigger than the outer. Then the three-body problem reduces to the two-body scattering or structure of the light one in the field of the pseudo-nucleus formed by two others. We calculate analytically the properties of considered systems, such as the scattering cross-sections, hyperfine splitting, Auger decay of exited states and Lamb shits, presenting them as expansions in powers of the ratio of light to intermediate particle masses. This ratio is the small parameter of the studied problems.

Voice and Palimpsest in Pedro Angel Palou’s Novels of the Mexican Revolution
Creators: name: Ahlman, Angelica  R.
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: ABSTRACT Considering Pedro Angel Palou has been a staunch proponent of the tradition of “continuity and renovation” in Latin American literature and a prolific writer who has created novels in different genres and registers, it is important to pay attention to his historical novels written at the time where there was an explosion of historical texts as part of the commemoration of the Centenary of the Mexican Revolution. The purpose of this study is to examine the novels Zapata, Pobre patria mía: La novela de Porfirio Díaz and No me dejen morir así: Recuerdos póstumos de Pancho Villa and trace Palou’s trajectory within the tradition of historical novel authors in Mexico by establishing the conversations these novels engage in with some of his previous experimental novels, canonical novels of the Mexican Revolution, and novels and poetry from some canonical Latin American authors. This study draws in postmodern theory and contemporary historiography with an emphasis on palimpsest. Relying on intertextuality, Palou creates complex structures and convokes diverse voices, both literary and not literary, to bring to the fore long-lasting social problems that Mexican society has endured until present times. The ubiquitous autoreferential underlying in the three novels signals the role of the literary writer as a preserver of memory providing for a narrative that is much more ludic than Palou’s previous works. I concluded that the political implications of the juxtaposition of history and fiction in these three novels deserve further analysis.
Salty popcorn in a homogeneous low-dimensional toy model of holographic QCD

description: Recently, a homogeneous ansatz has been used to study cold dense nuclear matter in the Sakai-Sugimoto model of holographic QCD. To justify this homogeneous approximation we here investigate a homogeneous ansatz within a low-dimensional toy version of Sakai-Sugimoto to study finite baryon density configurations and compare it to full numerical solutions. We find the ansatz corresponds to enforcing a dyon salt arrangement in which the soliton solutions are split into half-soliton layers. Within this ansatz we find analogues of the proposed baryonic popcorn transitions, in which solutions split into multiple layers in the holographic direction. The homogeneous results are found to qualitatively match the full numerical solutions, lending confidence to the homogeneous approximations of the full Sakai-Sugimoto model. In addition, we find exact compact solutions in the high density, flat space limit which demonstrate the existence of further popcorn transitions to three layers and beyond.
