description: Cooking is one of the most significant indoor sources of particles. This study investigated residential cooking and kitchen ventilation behaviors in Canadian homes, using data from 132 households in Halifax and Edmonton. Only 27% of the cooking activities were conducted with added ventilation (range hood use 10%, window opening 15%, and both 2%). The use pattern of the range hood was associated with mealtime and cooking method/device. The frequency of window opening was influenced by season and did not show a clear linkage to ventilation for cooking. Fine particle (PM2.5) decay rates, source strengths, emission masses, and exposure levels were estimated for cooking activities under different ventilation conditions. The results demonstrated the effect of kitchen ventilation on PM2.5 removal. Using a range hood and (or) opening kitchen windows increased the geometric mean (GM) decay rate by a factor of two. The GM source strength from cooking was 0.73 mg min−1 (geometric standard deviation (GSD)=4.3) over an average cooking time of 17 minutes (GSD=2.6). The GM emission mass was 12.6 mg (GSD=5.3). The GM exposure from a single cooking event was 12 µg m−3 h (GSD=6.6). The average number of cooking events per day was 2.4 (SD=1.5) times. Cooking contributed about 22% to the total daily PM2.5 exposure in participating homes. The frequency and duration of cooking conducted at various temporal scales (mealtime, weekday/weekend, and season), as well as the use of different methods and devices can support more accurate modeling of the impact of cooking on indoor air quality and human exposure.

A Covariant Path Amplitude Description of Flavour Oscillations: The Gribov-Pontecorvo Phase for Neutrino Vacuum Propagation is Right

description: An extended study is performed of geometrical and kinematical assumptions used in calculations of the neutrino oscillation phase. The almost universally employed `equal velocity' assumption, in which all neutrino mass eigenstates are produced at the same time, is shown to underestimate, by a factor of two, the neutrino propagation contribution to the phase. Taking properly into account, in a covariant path amplitude calculation, the incoherent nature of neutrino production as predicted by the Standard Model, results in an important source propagator contribution to the phase. It is argued that the commonly discussed Gaussian `wave packets' have no basis within quantum mechanics and are the result of a confused amalgam of quantum and classical wave concepts.

description: We show that in dilute boson-fermion mixtures with fermions in two internal states, even when the bare fermion-fermion interaction is repulsive, the exchange of density fluctuations of the Bose condensate may lead to an effective fermion-fermion attraction, and thus to a Cooper instability in the s-wave channel. We give an analytical method to derive the associated $T_c$ in the limit where the phonon branch of the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum of the bosons is important. We find a $T_c$ of the same order as for a pure Fermi gas with bare attraction.

description: The Moore Catchment, which lies to the north of Perth, WA, suffers from a number of problems related to water management. Farmers want to manage salinity and waterlogging problems through the use of drains, but this has negative off-farm impacts on both the environment and flood risk. Views on responsibilities for managing water within the catchment differ between farmers, local communities and government agencies. This paper reports the results from surveys of attitudes towards catchment management, for two community groups: residents of Perth and residents of rural towns in the catchment. A parallel study of farmers has been undertaken but is not reported here. These surveys elicited general attitudes towards the environment and agriculture, and views on responsibilities for managing the catchment. It also included a choice modelling section, where the attributes under consideration included the area of land under salt and trees, ecological risks to off-farm wetlands and risk of flooding, farm incomes and personal financial contributions to a management fund. Preliminary results indicate that residents of both rural towns and Perth are willing to pay to avoid damage to the natural environment, both on and off-farm, as well as the risk of flooding. Perhaps more surprisingly, whether farmers' incomes were being negatively affected in a choice set has a very strong impact on the choice made.

description: In this article, the authors derive the likelihood-based exact inference for singly and multiply imputed synthetic data in the context of a multivariate regression model. The synthetic data are generated via the Plug-in Sampling method, where the unknown parameters in the model are set equal to the observed values of their point estimators based on the original data, and synthetic data are drawn from this estimated version of the model. Simulation studies are carried out in order to confirm the theoretical results. The authors provide exact test procedures, which in case multiple synthetic datasets are permissible, are compared with the asymptotic results of Reiter. An application using 2000 U.S. Current Population Survey public use data is discussed. Furthermore, properties of the proposed methodology are evaluated in scenarios where some of the conditions that were used to derive the methodology do not hold, namely for nonnormal and discrete distributed random variables, cases in which the inferential procedures developed still show very good performances.

Abstract
 Lanadelumab (Takhzyro™), a first-in-class fully human monoclonal antibody against plasma kallikrein, has been approved in several countries, including Australia, Canada, EU, Switzerland and the USA, for the prevention of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in patients aged ≥ 12 years. Subcutaneous lanadelumab significantly reduced HAE attack rates relative to placebo in the pivotal HELP trial. The clinical benefits of lanadelumab were seen regardless of prior long-term prophylaxis use, baseline disease activity, sex or body mass index. Lanadelumab therapy was associated with clinically meaningful improvements in HAE-specific quality of life. Lanadelumab was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events with lanadelumab were injection-site reactions, which were generally mild and transient. Lanadelumab has a low potential for immunogenicity. It offers the convenience of self-administered subcutaneous injections once every 2 weeks (starting dosage). Currently available data indicate that lanadelumab is an effective, well-tolerated, novel prophylactic option for patients with HAE aged ≥ 12 years.© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019

description: This paper uses the assumptions of ergodicity and a microcanonical distribution to compute estimates of the largest Lyapunov exponents in lower-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. That the resulting estimates are in reasonable agreement with the actual values computed numerically corroborates the intuition that chaos in such systems can be understood as arising generically from a parametric instability and that this instability can be modeled by a stochastic-oscillator equation (cf. Casetti, Clementi, and Pettini, Phys. Rev. E 54, 5969 (1996)), linearised perturbations of a chaotic orbit satisfying a harmonic-oscillator equation with a randomly varying frequency.

Entre broma y broma la verdad se asoma : the mobilization of third-grade emergent bilinguals’ cultural capital around sites of humor

description: To say that humor is a universal form of interactive communication is only partially correct. In this dissertation, I argue that it is actually a site where individuals are able to exchange cultural capital, display shared knowledge, form affiliative bonds and disaffiliative stances, and employ metalinguistic skills. The following presentation shares findings that emerged after spending an academic year observing and participating with 23 emergent bilingual students whose first language was Spanish. In this qualitative case study, I employed ethnographic methods to understand how humor phenomenologically functioned within their 3rd grade school settings. I drew from a panoply of research in bilingual education, humor studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociolinguistics to approach and make sense of the subject matter. I allowed the diverse data to inform how I established and analyzed the categories in order to answer the following research questions: (1) In what ways do minoritized emergent bilinguals mobilize their cultural capitals around spaces of humor? (2) How does humor function as a site for emergent bilinguals’ agentic affordances within structural constraints? To answer these queries, I drew on the theoretical framework of community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005), which examines the “array of knowledge, skills, abilities, and contacts possessed and utilized by communities of color” (p. 77). As the students interactional episodes of humor developed throughout one year and I performed situated interpretations and analyses of the events, I found that most cases were able to fit beneath the umbrella of three meta-themes: resilience, resistance, and resonance. This dissertation sought to add to extant research that foregrounds minoritized students’ agency vis-à-vis an education system that historically does not prioritize nor acknowledge the wealth of linguistic ability and cultural knowledge that these students possess. Furthermore, by viewing humor as a locus of engagement, I hope to further a solutions-seeking agenda that is rooted and grounded in the assets of these students. As humor reveals itself as a phenomenon that is multi-pronged enough to accomplish a multiplicity of functions simultaneously, it proves the adage true: Entre broma y broma, la verdad se asoma [Many a true word is spoken in jest].

description: We present a supervised technique for learning to remove rain from images without using synthetic rain software. The method is based on a two-stage data distillation approach: 1) A rainy image is first paired with a coarsely derained version using on a simple filtering technique ("rain-to-clean"). 2) Then a clean image is randomly matched with the rainy soft-labeled pair. Through a shared deep neural network, the rain that is removed from the first image is then added to the clean image to generate a second pair ("clean-to-rain"). The neural network simultaneously learns to map both images such that high resolution structure in the clean images can inform the deraining of the rainy images. Demonstrations show that this approach can address those visual characteristics of rain not easily synthesized by software in the usual way.

description: We proposed a refractive index (RI) sensing method with temperature compensation by using an optical frequency comb (OFC) sensing cavity employing a multimode-interference (MMI) fiber, namely, the MMI-OFC sensing cavity. The MMI-OFC sensing cavity enables simultaneous measurement of material-dependent RI and sample temperature by decoding from the comb spacing frequency shift and the wavelength shift of the OFC. We realized the simultaneous and continuous measurement of RI-related concentration of a liquid sample and its temperature with precisions of 1.6*10^-4 RIU and 0.08 degree. The proposed method would be a useful means for the various applications based on RI sensing.

description: High contrast imaging (HCI) is limited in practice by uncorrected wavefront errors within traditional adaptive optics (AO). Keck observatory experiences roughly 130nm of unacoounted residual wavefront error even with well calibrated AO. Multiple HCI tools currently in development are presented, focused on minimizing these errors and improving contrast during typical observation nights: Fast and Furious is a focal plane wavefront sensing algorithm shown to correct for large portions of non-common path aberrations between the NIRC2 science instrument and the primary Keck wavefront sensor (WFS). On sky demonstrations of an operational version of this algorithm show an increase in Strehl ratio up to 19% in a single run. The Keck primary mirror phasing is known to degrade between routine segment exchanges. A Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) is currently installed within the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) to take passive measurements of the primary mirror to maintain the phasing. The detection of segment piston wavefront errors down to 50 nm with the ZWFS demonstrates the first step of maintaining phasing in parallel with science observations. Operational speckle nulling algorithms are in test to minimize bright speckles during HCI. As an addition to an upgraded real time controller, predictive wavefront control will be further developed to minimize errors due to large windspeeds and servo lag. These HCI demonstrations will be built as reliable, robust, and simple to control operational tools which will become available to greatly benefit observers.
A decentralized trust-aware collaborative filtering recommender system based on weighted items for social tagging systems

description: Recommender systems are used with the purpose of suggesting contents and resources to the users in a social network. These systems use ranks or tags each user assign to different resources to predict or make suggestions to users. Lately, social tagging systems, in which users can insert new contents, tag, organize, share, and search for contents are becoming more popular. These systems have a lot of valuable information, but data growth is one of its biggest challenges and this has led to the need for recommender systems that will predict what each user may like or need. One approach to the design of these systems which uses social environment of users is known as collaborative filtering (CF). One of the problems in CF systems is trustworthy of users and their tags. In this work, we consider a trust metric (which is concluded from users tagging behavior) beside the similarities to give suggestions and examine its effect on results. On the other hand, a decentralized approach is introduced which calculates similarity and trust relationships between users in a distributed manner. This causes the capability of implementing the proposed approach among all types of users with respect to different types of items, which are accessed by unique id across heterogeneous networks and environments. Finally, we show that the proposed model for calculating similarities between users reduces the size of the user-item matrix and considering trust in collaborative systems can lead to a better performance in generating suggestions.

However, previous examples of this intriguing phenomenon all appear to stem directly from the usual form of quantum nonlocality, namely via the violation of a standard Bell inequality. Here we present novel examples of 'quantum nonlocality without inputs', which we believe represent a new form of quantum nonlocality, genuine to networks. Our simplest examples, for the triangle network, involve both entangled states and joint entangled measurements. A generalization to any odd-cycle network is also presented. Finally, we conclude with some open questions.

description: In France, pregabalin is widely prescribed in adults but still not approved for children. We aimed to investigate the incidence of pregabalin exposure in ≤6-year-old children, to describe the characteristics and outcome of ingestions involving pregabalin alone, and to estimate a clinically relevant toxic dose in this population. Retrospective analysis of pregabalin exposures in ≤6-year-old children, collected by the French Poison Control Centers in 2004–2019. The incidence was estimated using pregabalin prescription data from the Health Improvement Network database (the French version of THIN). The poison severity score (PSS) was used to grade severity. We found 313 unintentional immediate-release pregabalin ingestions in ≤6-year-old children. The number of cases per 100,000 pregabalin-treated adults increased over time (p p p Despite increasing prescriptions in adults in France, unintentional pregabalin ingestions in ≤6-year-old children remain rare and cause minimal toxicity. Children with no underlying neurological/cardiac disease and concomitant medication ingesting <19.4 mg/kg immediate-release pregabalin alone can be safely observed at home.

description: There is growing interest in biomass from perennial grasses (e.g. switchgrass and miscanthus) for bioenergy production because of their high yields, their potential to be grown on low quality land with minimal competition with food crops and, and their ability to achieve significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relative to fossil fuels and corn ethanol. In order to guarantee the steady supply of biomass feedstock for mandated biofuel production, a crucial question confronting the biorefinery and policy makers is how to coordinate a market for biomass production. This paper addresses this issue by analyzing the potential design of biomass production contracts between biomass growers and biorefineries to promote the development of the industry. We approach the issue from both the landowner and biorefinery perspectives. We analyze and examine how the optimal contract design depends on both the farmers’ and biorefinery’s characteristics. We also contribute to the existing literature examining the role of risks in contract design by how the risks from multiple sources interact and jointly determine the optimal contract terms. Our preliminary findings suggest that farmers’ land allocation decisions depend on the joint distribution of their individual land quality and risk preferences. For a given level of risk aversion, farmers with low land quality are more willing to sign contracts with biorefineries to produce bioenergy crops due to the low opportunity cost of foregoing row crop production. For a given land quality, the farmer’s choice of biomass contract design varies with their level of risk aversion. More risk averse farmers prefer the fixed lease design to avoid exposure to yield and price risk. As the level of risk aversion is reduced, preferences shift towards the fixed price and profit sharing contract designs since they can gain higher payoff in exchange for the higher risks they are bearing. For reasonable ranges of land quality levels and heterogeneity of risk aversion levels, the optimal solution for the biorefinery tends to include offering of multiple contract designs to producers in the region. The biorefinery can induce highest participation and obtain highest profit in a region with higher concentrations of low land quality. Furthermore, greater profits can be obtained by establishing a processing plant in an area where farmers have low risk aversion.

description: The purpose of this study is to identify potential reductions of energy use2 and Green House Gases (GHG) emissions in the U.S. downstream (i.e., after production) supply chain of ethanol and gasoline fuels, by determining optimal transportation modes and routes. The analysis considers ethanol producers and fuel blending terminals, including consolidation and receiving hubs (Russell et al., 2009). Likewise transportation modes used for shipping ethanol are taken into account - rail, truck - in order to determine optimal delivery. Initial results support the need for construction of a new hub consolidation terminal or the expansion of the existing ones. This initial study leaves gasoline fuels, as well as shipments of ethanol via barge or vessel and of gasoline via pipeline, for a future extension.

description: In this paper, the authors derive the likelihood-based exact inference for singly and multiply imputed synthetic data in the context of a multivariate regression model. The synthetic data are generated via the Plug-in Sampling method, where the unknown parameters in the model are set equal to the observed values of their point estimators based on the original data, and synthetic data are drawn from this estimated version of the model. Simulation studies are carried out in order to confirm the theoretical results. In case multiple synthetic datasets are permissible, the authors provide an exact test procedure and compare their results with the asymptotic results of Reiter (2005a). The authors provide exact test procedures, which in case multiple synthetic datasets are permissible, are compared with the asymptotic results of Reiter (2005a). An application using 2000 U.S. Current Population Survey public use data is discussed. Furthermore, properties of the proposed methodology are evaluated in scenarios where some of the conditions that were used to derive the methodology do not hold, namely for nonnormal and discrete distributed random variables, cases in which the inferential procedures developed still show very good performances.

description: Little is known about the cardiotoxic effects of kratom (Mitragyna speciosa Korth.), a medicinal plant. This analytical cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and QTc intervals in regular kratom users compared with non-kratom-using control subjects. We enrolled regular kratom users and non-kratom-using control subjects from three communities. Demographic data, clinical data, kratom use characteristics, and ECG findings were recorded. The mitragynine content of kratom juice was quantified using a validated gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) method. A total of 200 participants (100 kratom users and 100 control subjects) participated in this study. The prevalence of ECG abnormalities in kratom users (28%) did not differ from that of control subjects (32%). Kratom use was not associated with ECG abnormalities, except for significantly higher odds of sinus tachycardia (OR = 8.61, 95% CI = 1.06–70.17, p = 0.035) among kratom users compared with control subjects. The odds of observing borderline QTc intervals were significantly higher for kratom users compared with control subjects, regardless of the age of first use, the duration of use, the daily quantity consumed, and the length of time that had elapsed between last kratom use and ECG assessment. Nevertheless, there were no differences in the odds of having prolonged QTc intervals between kratom users and controls. The estimated average daily intake of mitragynine consumed by kratom users was 434.28 mg. We found no link between regular kratom use and electrocardiographic abnormalities with an estimated average daily intake of 434.28 mg of mitragynine.

description: When the mass of one of the two bodies tends to zero, Weyl's definition of the gravitational force in an axially symmetric, static two-body solution can be given an invariant formulation in terms of a force four-vector. The norm of this force is calculated for Bach's two-body solution, that is known to be in one-to-one correspondence with Schwarzschild's original solution when one of the two masses l, l' is made to vanish. In the limit when, say, l' goes to zero, the norm of the force divided by l' and calculated at the position of the vanishing mass is found to coincide with the norm of the acceleration of a test body kept at rest in Schwarzschild's field. Both norms happen thus to grow without limit when the test body (respectively the vanishing mass l') is kept at rest in a position closer and closer to Schwarzschild's two-surface.

description: We analyze the characteristics of the global attractor of a type of dissipative nonautonomous dynamical systems in terms of the Sacker and Sell spectrum of its linear part. The model gives rise to a pattern of nonautonomous Hopf bifurcation which can be understood as a generalization of the classical autonomous one. We pay special attention to the dynamics at the bifurcation point, showing the possibility of occurrence of Li-Yorke chaos in the corresponding attractor and hence of a high degree of unpredictability.
