description: Recent studies show that the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior of MnSi and Fe spans over an unexpectedly broad pressure range, between the critical pressure p_c and around 2p_c. In order to determine the extension of their NFL regions, we analyze the evolution of the resistivity rho(T) A(p)T^n at higher pressures. We find that in MnSi the n=3/2 exponent holds below 4.8 GPa=3 p_c, but it increases above that pressure. At 7.2 GPa we observe the low temperature Fermi liquid exponent n=2 whereas for T>1.5 K, n=5/3. Our measurements in Fe show that the NFL behavior rho T^{5/3} extends at least up to 30.5 GPa, above the entire superconducting (SC) region. In the studied pressure range, the onset of the SC transition reduces by a factor 10 down to T_c^onset(30.5 GPa)=0.23 K, while the A-coefficient diminishes monotonically by around 50%.

description: Size-selective mortality is common in fish populations and can operate either in a positive size-selective fashion by harvesting larger-than-average fish or be negatively size-selective by harvesting smaller-than-average fish. Through various mechanisms (like genetic correlations among behaviour and life-history traits or direct selection on behaviour co-varying with growth rate or size-at-maturation), size-selection can result in evolutionary changes in behavioural traits. Theory suggests that both positive and negative size-selection without additional selection on behaviour favours boldness, while evolution of shyness is possible if the largest fish are harvested. Here we examined the impact of size-selective mortality on collective boldness across ontogeny using three experimental lines of zebrafish (Danio rerio) generated through positive (large-harvested), negative (small-harvested) and random (control line) size-selective mortality for five generations and then relaxed selection for 10 generations to examine evolutionarily fixed outcomes. We measured collective risk-taking during feeding (boldness) under simulated aerial predation threat, and across four contexts in presence/absence of a cichlid. Boldness decreased across ontogeny under aerial predation threat, and the small-harvested line was consistently bolder than controls. The large and small-harvested lines showed higher behavioural plasticity as larvae and developed personality earlier compared to the controls. The large-harvested line showed increased variability and plasticity in boldness throughout ontogeny. In the presence of a live predator, fish did not differ in boldness in three contexts compared to the controls, but the large-harvested line showed reduced behavioural plasticity across contexts than controls. Our results confirmed theory by demonstrating that size-selective harvesting evolutionarily alters collective boldness and its variability and plasticity.

description: AT 2018hyz (=ASASSN-18zj) is a tidal disruption event (TDE) located in the nucleus of a quiescent E+A galaxy at a redshift of $z = 0.04573$, first detected by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We present optical+UV photometry of the transient, as well as an X-ray spectrum and radio upper limits. The bolometric light curve of AT 2018hyz is comparable to other known TDEs and declines at a rate consistent with a $t^{-5/3}$ at early times, emitting a total radiated energy of $E = 9\times10^{50}$ erg. An excess bump appears in the UV light curve about 50 days after bolometric peak, followed by a flattening beyond 250 days. The light curve shows an excess bump in the UV about 50 days after bolometric peak lasting for at least 100 days, which may be related to an outflow. We detect a constant X-ray source present for at least 86 days. The X-ray spectrum shows a total unabsorbed flux of $\sim 4\times10^{-14}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ and is best fit by a blackbody plus power-law model with a photon index of $Γ= 0.8$. A thermal X-ray model is unable to account for photons $> 1$ keV, while the radio non-detection favors inverse-Compton scattering rather than a jet for the non-thermal component. We model the optical and UV light curves using the Modular Open-Source Fitter for Transients (MOSFiT) and find a best fit for a black hole of $5.2\times10^6$ M$_\odot$ partially disrupting a $0.1$ M$_\odot$ star (stripping a mass of $\sim 0.01$ M$_\odot$ for the inferred impact parameter, $β=0.6$). The low optical depth implied by the small debris mass may explain how we are able to see hydrogen emission with disk-like line profiles in the spectra of AT 2018hyz (see our companion paper, Short et al.~2020).

description: In Deutschland werden seit 2010 im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums des Innern und für Heimat (bis 8. Dezember 2021 Bundesministerium des Innern, für Bau und Heimat), unter der Koordination des Bundesamtes für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe (BBK) regelmäßig Risikoanalysen zu unterschiedlichen Risiken erarbeitet und zur politischen Bewertung vor allem an den Innenausschuss des Deutschen Bundestages gesandt. Diese Studie untersucht explorativ die Rahmenbedingungen der politischen Arbeit von Abgeordneten des Deutschen Bundestages und geht der Frage nach, welche Gründe und Bedingungen die Wahrnehmung der Risikoanalysen beeinflussen und die Verwendung dieser für die Entscheidungsfindung und Politikgestaltung erschweren oder erleichtern. Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurden 15 leitfadengestützte Interviews mit aktiven und ehemaligen Bundestagsabgeordneten sowie zwei Gruppendiskussionen mit wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeitenden von Bundestagsabgeordneten durchgeführt. Auf der Grundlage eines heuristischen Modells erfolgte eine strukturierte qualitative Inhaltsanalyse des Materials entlang festgelegter Auswertungskategorien. Durch die Analyse konnten grundlegende Rahmenbedingungen für die Arbeits- und Verhaltensweisen der Abgeordneten herausgearbeitet und Gründe aufgezeigt werden, die eine politische Diskussion der Risikoanalysen in der Vergangenheit erschwert haben. Gleichzeitig erzielte die Analyse eine große Anzahl von Anhaltspunkten für direkte oder indirekte Verbesserungen in der kommunikativen Begleitung der Risikoanalysen sowie deren inhaltlicher und visueller Aufbereitung. Zusätzliche Aspekte hinsichtlich der politischen Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der Risikoanalysen konnten im Rahmen einer Analyse politischer Dokumente erarbeitet werden, die über das Dokumentations- und Informationssystem für Parlamentarische Vorgänge (DIP) abrufbar sind. Die Studie stellt abschließend Handlungsempfehlungen für einen erfolgreichen Transfer der Inhalte der Risikoanalysen in die Bundespolitik vor.

description: The Thermal Infrared Sensor-2 (TIRS-2) that will be onboard Landsat 9 has undergone a prelaunch testing campaign to characterize its radiometric, spectral, and spatial performances and demonstrate compliance to its requirements. This work reviews the key elements of the instrument-level radiometric testing using an SI-traceable source to derive its uncertainties. Those arising from on-orbit calibration using the TIRS-2 onboard blackbody are also discussed. We use a Monte Carlo approach to propagate the uncertainties through a nonlinear calibration equation and address both random and systematic uncertainty terms. Achieving the required performance demonstrates the instrument's potential for enhancing our understanding of the Earth's environment.

By reflecting upon two of the most widely used methodological approaches in sociology – standardized survey research and qualitative interview research – we develop a comprehensive heuristic framework for examining the ways in which the use of sociological methods affects and intersects any social scientific practice: (1) the power effects that societies and institutional settings exert on methods and the use of methods, (2) power in the use and implementation of methods, and (3) the power effects that methods and the use of methods exert on societies and institutional settings.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of infections and deaths worldwide, forced schools to suspend classes, workers to work from home, many to lose their livelihoods, and countless businesses to close. Throughout this crisis, families have had to protect, comfort and care for their children, their elderly and other members. While the pandemic has greatly intensified family care responsibilities for families, unpaid care work has been a primary activity of families even in normal times. This paper estimates the future global need for caregiving, and the burden of that need that typically falls on families, especially women. It takes into account projected demographic shifts, health transitions, and economic changes in order to obtain an aggregate picture of the care need relative to the potential supply of caregiving in low-, middle- and high-income countries. This extensive margin of the future care burden, however, does not capture the weight of that burden unless the quantity and quality of care time per caregiver are taken into account. Adjusting for care time given per caregiver, the paper incorporates data from time-use surveys, illustrating this intensive margin of the care burden in three countries that have very different family and economic contexts—Ghana, Mongolia, and South Korea. Time-use surveys typically do not provide time data for paid care services, so the estimates depend only on the time intensity of family care. With this caveat, the paper estimates that the care need in 2030 would require the equivalent of one-fifth to two-fifths of the paid labor force, assuming 40 weekly workhours. Using the projected 2030 mean wage for care and social service workers to estimate the hypothetical wage bill for these unpaid caregivers if they were paid, we obtain a value equivalent to 16 to 32 percent of GDP in the three countries.

description: Grasses growing next to agricultural fields influence the Fusarium abundance, the species composition, and the mycotoxin accumulation of wheat plants, especially the field parts directly adjacent to grasses, are highly affected. Grasses are a more attractive and suitable habitat for Fusarium fungi compared to other arable weeds and occur at mostly every semi-natural landscape element (e.g., kettle holes, hedgerows, field-to-field-borders). In our study, we analyzed the ability of a highly Fusarium infected grass stripe ( F. graminearum , F. culmorum , F. sporotrichioides ) to infect an adjacent wheat field with these species. Results show that the primary inoculated Fusarium species were as well the dominant species isolated from the wheat field. Regarding transects originating from the grass stripe going into the field, the results demonstrate that wheat ears next to the infected grass stripe have a higher Fusarium abundance and furthermore show higher mycotoxin accumulation in the wheat kernels. This effect was highly promoted by irrigation. Therefore, grass stripes next to arable fields must be considered as reservoirs for fungal infections and as a source for a contamination with mycotoxins.
Unifying atmospheric biology research for the U.S. scientific community

Year: 2023

description: A global COVID-19 pandemic, rising asthma and allergies, along with climate change impacting storm intensity and frequency, point to an urgent need to unify U.S. atmospheric biology research. To this end, we briefly define atmospheric biology, summarize its fragmented history, and then outline how to unify the field to provide benefits for the U.S. science community and its citizens. Atmospheric biology refers to the study of concentrations, sources, sinks, transformation, and impacts of airborne microorganisms inclusive of pollen, fungal spores, algae, lichens, bacteria, viruses, cellulose fibers, and other biomolecules or fragments of cells. Here our focus is biological particles, both respirable (PM10) and systemic (PM2.5). Due to its interdisciplinary dependencies and broadness of scales from nanometers to kilometers, atmospheric biology research is highly fragmented in the U.S. science community. It lacks shared paradigms and common vocabulary. This deficit calls for recognizing atmospheric biology as a research community in its own right, thereby linking human health to climate change. We need to recognize atmospheric biology’s importance to national security and science diplomacy. Advanced atmospheric biology research is being conducted in Europe, Russia, and China, not in the United States.

Moreover, using cosmic microwave background (CMB) constraints, it is argued that these fields can reach strengths of between 10^{-28} and 10^{-29} G at the time the dynamo mechanism sets in, making them plausible seed field candidates.

description: S-patches have many nice mathematical properties. It is known since their first appearance, that any regular S-patch can be exactly converted into a trimmed rational Bézier surface. This is a big advantage compared to other multi-sided surface representations that have to be approximated for exporting them into CAD/CAM systems. The actual conversion process, however, remained at a theoretical level, with bits and pieces scattered in multiple publications. In this paper we review the entirety of the algorithm, and investigate it from a practical aspect.

description: We extend a recent scenario of Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi to fix the string moduli fields by using a combination of fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials, leading to de Sitter vacua. In our scenario the non-perturbative superpotential is taken to be the N=1^* superpotential for an SU(N) theory, originally computed by Dorey and recently rederived using the techniques of Dijkgraaf-Vafa. The fact that this superpotential includes the full instanton contribution gives rise to the existence of a large number of minima, increasing with N. In the absence of supersymmetry breaking these correspond to supersymmetric anti de Sitter vacua. The introduction of antibranes lifts the minima to a chain of (non-supersymmetric) de Sitter minima with the value of the cosmological constant decreasing with increasing compactification scale. Simpler cases are also discussed, including a finite instanton sum, as in the racetrack scenario. The relative semiclassical stability of these vacua is studied. Possible cosmological implications of these potentials are also discussed.

description: As genome sequencing is finding utility in a wide variety of domains beyond the confines of traditional medical settings, its computational pipeline faces two significant challenges. First, the creation of up to 0.5 GB of data per minute imposes substantial communication and storage overheads. Second, the sequencing pipeline is bottlenecked at the basecalling step, consuming >40% of genome analysis time. A range of proposals have attempted to address these challenges, with limited success. We propose to address these challenges with a Compute-in-Memory Basecalling Accelerator (CiMBA), the first embedded ($\sim25$mm$^2$) accelerator capable of real-time, on-device basecalling, coupled with AnaLog (AL)-Dorado, a new family of analog focused basecalling DNNs. Our resulting hardware/software co-design greatly reduces data communication overhead, is capable of a throughput of 4.77 million bases per second, 24x that required for real-time operation, and achieves 17x/27x power/area efficiency over the best prior basecalling embedded accelerator while maintaining a high accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art software basecallers.

description: Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid disease, is a common disorder. Hypothyroidism is a chronic disease associated with deficiency in the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).Hypothyroidism appears when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to meet the needs of the body. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism relies heavily upon laboratory tests because of the lack of specificity of the typical clinical manifestations. Determination of the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroid hormones is crucial for assessing thyroid function. However, because of inter-individual genetic variability and different environmental factors individual set points exist for TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) and fTHs (free thyroid hormones) and display considerable variation.Bioinformatic analyses of the differentially expressed proteins suggests dysregulation of multiple pathways and protein interaction networks. The novel biomarkers identified can be used after validation to better understand to diagnose and monitor thyroid function.
The effects of increased pollution on COVID-19 cases and deaths

description: The SARS-COV-2 virus, also known as the coronavirus, has spread around the world. A growing literature suggests that exposure to pollution can cause respiratory illness and increase deaths among the elderly. However, little is known about whether increases in pollution could cause additional or more severe infections from COVID-19, which typically manifests as a respiratory infection. During the pandemic, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rolled back enforcement of environmental regulation, causing an increase in pollution in counties with more TRI sites. We use the variation in pollution and a difference in differences design to estimate the effects of increased pollution on county-level COVID-19 deaths and cases. We find that counties with more Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) sites saw a 11.8 percent increase in pollution on average following the EPA's rollback of enforcement, compared to counties with fewer TRI sites. We also find that these policy-induced increases in pollution are associated with a 53 percent increase in cases and a 10.6 percent increase in deaths from COVID-19.

description: The SARS-COV-2 virus, also known as the coronavirus, has spread around the world. A growing literature suggests that exposure to pollution can cause respiratory illness and increase deaths among the elderly. However, little is known about whether increases in pollution could cause additional or more severe infections from COVID-19, which typically manifests as a respiratory infection. During the pandemic, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rolled back enforcement of environmental regulation, causing an increase in pollution in counties with more TRI sites. We use the variation in pollution and a difference in differences design to estimate the effects of increased pollution on county-level COVID-19 deaths and cases. We find that counties with more Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) sites saw a 11.8 percent increase in pollution on average following the EPA's rollback of enforcement, compared to counties with fewer TRI sites. We also find that these policy-induced increases in pollution are associated with a 53 percent increase in cases and a 10.6 percent increase in deaths from COVID-19.

description: Cities worldwide are taking action to increase the amount and quality of urban green spaces. However, not all efforts for the greening of cities produce just and inclusive outcomes. For more inclusive urban greening processes, scholars have proposed incentivizing residents’ participation in planning and implementing green initiatives that promote creating and maintaining green spaces. However, further in-depth analysis of the connection between implementing new urban green spaces and environmental (in)justice is needed to understand how unjust outcomes might emerge due to policies aiming to promote the uptake of urban green through citizen engagement. To investigate the justice implications of policies that aim to create new urban green spaces through citizen participation, this article combines GIS analysis and qualitative analysis of 26 semi-structured interviews to evaluate the process and outcomes of the Green Agenda policy in Amsterdam. The Green Agenda (Agenda Groen) is a municipal policy supporting citizens’ initiatives to uptake urban green. Through the analysis of this case study, the article aims to identify factors that create barriers to achieving just outcomes during the implementation of policies for urban greening. Results indicate that although the approach has successfully increased the amount of urban green in Amsterdam, the presence of barriers that impede procedural justice and lack of recognition made the urban greening process less just. The three underlying factors that create barriers in Amsterdam are the centralization of the government, the lack of support for local organizations, and the effect of socioeconomic characteristics on inclusion and participation. The article concludes by discussing the synergies and tradeoffs between identified barriers and suggesting solutions to be integrated into future policies for more successful and just greening processes.

description: As China increasingly focuses on sustainable development, understanding and influencing urban residents’ energy-saving behaviors becomes vital for addressing high energy consumption issues. Thus, this research chooses the residents in China as its object, and studies the factors influencing residents’ habitual energy-saving behaviors. We establish a comprehensive theoretical model suitable for this study based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory. Utilizing on-the-spot investigations, extensive data collection and model establishment, our research reveals that “altruism” – defined here as actions driven by concern for societal expectations – predominantly motivates daily energy-saving behaviors. In addition, external factors (cost of energy-saving measures) have a significant impact on residents’ energy-saving investment behaviors. Based on our findings, we propose specific policy recommendations focusing on publicity on environmental pollution, the platform for sharing energy conservation experiences and formulation of group-differentiated energy conservation policies. Therefore, this study provides policy implications for motivating residents to take energy-saving actions.
Excitons in hexagonal nanonetwork materials

description: Optical excitations in hexagonal nanonetwork materials, for example, Boron-Nitride (BN) sheets and nanotubes, are investigated theoretically. A permanent electric dipole moment, whose direction is from the B site to the N site, is considered along the BN bond. When the exciton hopping integral is restricted to the nearest neighbors, the flat band of the exciton appears at the lowest energy. The symmetry of this exciton band is optically forbidden, indicating that the excitons relaxed to this band will show quite long lifetime which will cause luminescence properties.
Assessment of the Adverse Effects of Methylone in Male and Female Sprague-Dawley Rats: Conditioned Taste Avoidance, Body Temperature and Activity/Stereotypies
Creators: name: Manke, Hayley Nicole
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Methylone’s rewarding effects have been well characterized while little is known about its adverse effects and how they may be impacted by sex. The present study investigated the adverse effects of the synthetic cathinone methylone in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats as assessed by conditioned taste avoidance and changes in temperature and in activity/stereotypies. Like other synthetic cathinones, methylone induced significant taste avoidance, temperature changes and increased activity/stereotypies in both males and females. The only endpoint for which sex was a factor in an interaction with methylone was in activity with males displaying a faster onset and females displaying a longer duration. When independent statistical assessments were made for each sex, differences between males and females were evident. Considering sex as a biological variable in the study of drugs is necessary to determine if differences exist and, if evident, the basis for these differences.

description: In this paper, we study four-dimensional topological black hole solutions of Einsteinian cubic gravity in the presence of nonlinear Born-Infeld electrodynamics and a bare cosmological constant. First, we obtain the field equations which govern our solutions. Employing Abbott-Deser-Tekin and Gauss formulas, we present the expressions of conserved quantities, namely total mass and total charge of our topological black solutions. We disclose the conditions under which the model is unitary and perturbatively free of ghosts with asymptotically (A)dS and flat solutions. We find that, for vanishing bare cosmological constant, the model is unitary just for asymptotically flat solutions, which only allow horizons with spherical topology. We compute the temperature for these solutions and show that it always has a maximum value, which decreases as the values of charge, nonlinear coupling or cubic coupling grows. Next, we calculate the entropy and electric potential. We show that the first law of thermodynamics is satisfied for spherical asymptotically flat solutions. Finally, we peruse the effects of model parameters on thermal stability of these solutions in both canonical and grand canonical ensembles.

title: The development and application of equipment for the study of oral-pharyngeal neuromuscular behaviour
Creators: name: Ellis, Richard Edmund
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: While developing new techniques for the treatment of incompetence of the soft palate, which gives rise to hypernasal speech, it became obvious that equipments were needed to help to assess the degree of nasal escape of air with speech and to attempt to make the earliest possible diagnosis of incompetence. The latter being important if vital, early schooling is not to be missed. Two such equipments are the subject of this work. The first, the Exeter Nasal Anemometry System, is in full clinical use in the Devon Health Area and in some special units in other Health Authorities. A description is given of the use of a heated thermistor anemometer, mounted in a nose-mask, together with its associated electronics to produce permanent chart records of correlated speech and airflow patterns. These charts are used by therapists both to assess and to monitor improvement of hypernasal speech. The second apparatus, although not yet in full clinical use, has been used to collect data on the sucking, swallowing and respiration patterns produced by neonates during feeding. It is hoped that any malfunction of the musculature involved, which-may later lead to speech defects, will show as anomalies in this data, when compared to that established for normal infants. The development of these equipments is described, the problems involved in their use in a clinical situation and the production of suitable data are discussed. Examples of typical charts are shown and further discussion is given on the use of the data by a clinician. The Exeter Nasal Anemometer is the subject of a British Patent application by the University of Exeter. A paper on its use has been submitted for publication. ELLIS,R.E. et al.
