description: High community incarceration rates are associated with worse community mental health. However, it remains unknown whether higher rates of probation, a form of criminal legal community supervision, are similarly associated with worse community mental health. Our objective was to evaluate temporal and geographic correlations of county-level probation and mental health rates separately and to assess the association between county-level probation and mental health rates, measured by self-inflicted injury and suicide. We performed ecological analyses using North Carolina administrative data (2009–2019) and used repeated cross-section, multivariable spatial error models. From 2009 to 2019, probation rates trended downward while self-inflicted injury and suicide remained stable. We found positive spatial autocorrelation suggesting that there are spatial determinants of probation and self-harm, though less so for suicide. Hot spot analyses showed local variation with high self-harm and suicide rates being clustered in rural Western North Carolina and high probation rates being clustered in rural Eastern North Carolina. Probation was positively associated with self-inflicted injury and suicide. For example, in 2018, a 1 percentage point increase in probation was associated with a 0.05 percentage point increase in self-harm in 2019 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.06), meaning that in a county of 100,000 people, an increase in 1000 county residents being on probation would be associated with an increase in 50 self-harm injuries. High county-level probation rates may exert collateral damage on the mental health of those living in areas with much of the population under state control. These findings emphasize that the criminal legal system is not separate from communities and that future public health research and advocacy must consider these collateral consequences of probation on communities.

description: We study the spectrum, the massless S-matrices and the ground-state energy of the flows between successive minimal models of conformal field theory, and within the sine-Gordon model with imaginary coefficient of the cosine term (related to the minimal models by ``truncation''). For the minimal models, we find exact S-matrices which describe the scattering of massless kinks, and show using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz that the resulting non-perturbative c-function (defined by the Casimir energy on a cylinder) flows appropriately between the two theories, as conjectured earlier. For the non-unitary sine-Gordon model, we find unusual behavior. For the range of couplings we can study analytically, the natural S-matrix deduced from the minimal one by ``undoing'' the quantum-group truncation does not reproduce the proper c-function with the TBA. It does, however, describe the correct properties of the model in a magnetic field.

description: Objective: To estimate the effect of intimate partner violence (IPV) on oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). Design: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from HIV Prevention Trials Network 082 (HPTN 082), a multisite prospective study designed to assess oral PrEP adherence among AGYW in southern Africa. Methods: We estimated the relative prevalence of high PrEP adherence 3 and 6 months after initiation among AGYW 16 – 25 years who reported a history of any IPV in the past year at enrollment versus AGYW who did not, both overall and by age. High adherence was defined as an intracellular tenofovir-diphosphate concentration at least 700 fmol/ punch or more dried blood spots. Results: Among 409 PrEP-initiating AGYW, half (49%) reported experiencing any IPV by a current/recent partner in the year prior to enrollment. Overall, a similar proportion of AGYW who reported IPV had high PrEP adherence at months 3 and 6 as AGYW who did not report IPV. There was, however, evidence of effect modification by age at month 3: among AGYW less than 21 years old, those who reported IPV were less than half as likely to have high adherence [adjusted PR (aPR) = 0.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.22– 0.86]; among AGYW aged 21 years or older, those who reported IPV were more than twice as likely to have high adherence (aPR = 2.21, 95% CI 1.34– 3.66). At month 6, effect estimates within each age stratum were consistent in direction to those at month 3. Conclusion: IPV events may either impede or motivate PrEP adherence among African AGYW, with age appearing to be an important consideration for IPV-related adherence interventions.

description: Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) are secretory granules that contain von Willebrand factor and P-selectin, molecules that regulate hemostasis and inflammation, respectively. The presence of CD63/LAMP3 in the limiting membrane of WPBs has led to their classification as lysosome-related organelles. Many lysosome-related organelles contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) enriched in CD63 that are secreted into the extracellular environment during cell activation to mediate intercellular communication. To date, there are no reports that WPBs contain or release ILVs. By light microscopy and live-cell imaging, we show that CD63 is enriched in microdomains within WPBs. Extracellular antibody recycling studies showed that CD63 in WPB microdomains can originate from the plasma membrane. By cryo-electron tomography of frozen-hydrated endothelial cells, we identify internal vesicles as novel structural features of the WPB lumen. By live-cell fluorescence microscopy, we directly observe the exocytotic release of EGFP-CD63 ILVs as discrete particles from individual WPBs. WPB exocytosis provides a novel route for release of ILVs during endothelial cell stimulation.

description: We solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations self-consistently for d-wave superconductors with [110] surfaces. We find spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry (TRS) caused by the spontaneous occurrence of a complex order parameter with an extended s-wave symmetry along the [110] surfaces. In the TRS-breaking phase, the d-wave order parameter itself becomes complex. We also show that vortex-antivortex pairs can appear along the [110] surfaces of nanoribbons. These pairs are detectable with surface sensitive probes.

description: The network metaphor in the analysis of urban and territorial cases has a long tradition especially in transportation/land-use planning and economic geography. More recently, urban design has brought its contribution by means of the "space syntax" methodology. All these approaches, though under different terms like accessibility, proximity, integration,connectivity, cost or effort, focus on the idea that some places (or streets) are more important than others because they are more central. The study of centrality in complex systems,however, originated in other scientific areas, namely in structural sociology, well before its use in urban studies; moreover, as a structural property of the system, centrality has never been extensively investigated metrically in geographic networks as it has been topologically in a wide range of other relational networks like social, biological or technological. After two previous works on some structural properties of the dual and primal graph representations of urban street networks (Porta et al. cond-mat/0411241; Crucitti et al. physics/0504163), in this paper we provide an in-depth investigation of centrality in the primal approach as compared to the dual one, with a special focus on potentials for urban design.

Monsieur,

Je reçus hier matin la caisse des manuscrits dans le meilleur état possible. Aucune liasse n'a été tachée par la pluie constante qu'il a fait depuis huit jours ; ainsi l'événement justifie la sagesse de vos précautions. Je vous renouvelle tous mes remerciements tant du bon ordre que vous avez bien voulu mettre dans ma collection, que du prospectus dont je ferai usage cet hiver, cette saison pendant laquelle on est réuni sera plus favorable à mes vues et me donnera en attendant le plaisir de feuilleter un peu toutes ces bonnes choses.

J'avais reçu votre lettre quelques jours auparavant et j'ai attendu pour y répondre l'arrivée de la caisse. J'ai prié ma mère de vous rembourser tous les petits frais d'emballage que vous avez bien voulu avancer et de vous témoigner combien je suis sensible à toutes vos attentions.

Il m'est tombé entre les mains une vie de Peiresc imprimée depuis quatre ans par M. Requier. c'est une traduction du Gassendi, mais considérablement augmenté. Je n'y ai rien trouvé de relatif à mon objet, mais je le parcourai plus soigneusement. Je suis accablé de procès à l'occasion du voyage de Fontaineblau pendnat lequel nous en expédions beaucoup et je me livrerais bien plus volontiers à la littérature si j'en étais capable. [fol. 236 v] J'aurais l'honneur de vous faire part en temps et lieu des propositions qui me seront faites. Vous voudrez bien m'adresser celles qui pourront vous venir des libraires de Genève ou autres, mais je suis disposé de faire tout ce que je pourrai pour faire passer ma collection chez le roi. J'en parlerai à M. Bignon, bibliothécaire, et de plus mon confrère.

Je suis, avec les sentiments les plus respectueux et la plus vive reconnaissance

Monsieur,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

large deformation analysis

description: Debris flows with high velocity may have enormous impact forces on obstacles in their flow paths. It is necessary to install protective structures, such as check dams that slow down or interrupt the debris flows from affecting adjacent infrastructure and residential communities. The impact forces of debris flows on check dams are an essential factor in hazard mitigation evaluation and design of check dams. To accurately evaluate the impact force of debris flows on the check dams, a numerical model that takes into account the fluid-solid interactions is needed. In this study, the large deformation analysis, which is the coupled Eulerian- Lagrangian (CEL) technique, was applied to evaluate the behavior of the debris flows and the impact force on the check dams, simultaneously. The numerical method was validated using published data on laboratory experiments. A series of numerical analyses were performed to evaluate the significant influencing factor on the dynamic impact force of debris flows, such as the flow velocity and the thickness of sedimentation. Based on the results of these analyses, it was observed that the dynamic impact force of debris flows on the check dams is significantly dependent on the velocity of the debris flows. In addition, the debris flows are gradually accumulated towards the top of the check dams after the debris flows first contacts the check dams, thereby the position of the dynamic load acting on the check dams is increased.
title: Extension of MF2005-GWM (Ground-Water Management Process) to Solve Management Formulations which Optimize Hydraulic Head and Solve Quadratic Programming Problems
Creators: name: Baker, Kristine
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Environmental Engineering
subject: FOS: Environmental engineering

description: Groundwater management problems usually have many possible alternative solutions. Groundwater simulation models can be coupled with mathematical optimization techniques to determine the best alternative given an objective and set of constraints. Ground-Water Management (MF2005-GWM 1.1.1) is a process for the U.S. Geological Survey modular three-dimensional groundwater flow model, MODFLOW-2005. The GWM Process uses the response matrix approach coupled with mathematical programming to solve groundwater management problems for systems which can be simulated using MODFLOW. The current version of GWM is MF2005-GWM 1.1.1 and allows the formulation of management problems by defining decision variables (primarily flow-rate variables for wells) and to optimize the value of these decision variables subject to constraints on hydraulic head, streamflow and/or summations of decision variables, among other capabilities. This work introduces a new type of variable to GWM, called a state variable, which is defined as either a hydraulic head or streamflow type variable. The value of the state variables are entirely dependent on the flow-rate variables and are calculated using the response matrix approach. State variables may be included in the objective function and summation constraints in this new MF2005-GWM version 2.0. The mathematical formulation, implementation, and sample problems are included to describe the theory and use of state variables. Additional functionality is added to GWM in a Beta version for the capability to solve quadratic programming problems. In version 1.1.1 of GWM, the objective function must be a linear sum of decision variables. The addition of the state variable package in version 2.0 expands the definition of the objective to allow linear sums of state variables. The expanded capability to quadratic terms in the objective is motivated by the desire to represent energy costs, which are a function of the product of hydraulic head (a type of state variable) and flow-rate variables. This report includes the motivation, mathematical development, implementation, verification and a sample problem for a version of GWM including quadratic objective terms.

Linear Gravity in de Sitter universe

description: We give in this paper an explicit construction of the covariant quantization of the rank-two massless tensor field on de Sitter space (linear covariant quantum gravity on a de Sitter background). The main ingredient of the construction is an indecomposable representation of de Sitter group. We here make the choice of a specific simple gauge fixing. We show that our gauge fixing eliminates any infrared divergence in the two-point function for the traceless part of this field. But it is not possible to do the same for the pure trace part (conformal sector). We describe the related Krein space structure and covariant field operators. This work is in the continuation of our previous ones concerning the massless minimally coupled scalar fields and the massive tensor field on de Sitter.

Privacy-preserving data outsourcing in the cloud via semantic data splitting

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Even though cloud computing provides many intrinsic benefits, privacy concerns related to the lack of control over the storage and management of the outsourced data still prevent many customers from migrating to the cloud. Several privacy-protection mechanisms based on a prior encryption of the data to be outsourced have been proposed. Data encryption offers robust security, but at the cost of hampering the efficiency of the service and limiting the functionalities that can be applied over the (encrypted) data stored on cloud premises. Because both efficiency and functionality are crucial advantages of cloud computing, in this paper we aim at retaining them by proposing a privacy-protection mechanism that relies on splitting (clear) data, and on the distributed storage offered by the increasingly popular notion of multi-clouds. We propose a semantically-grounded data splitting mechanism that is able to automatically detect pieces of data that may cause privacy risks and split them on local premises, so that each chunk does not incur in those risks; then, chunks of clear data are independently stored into the separate locations of a multi-cloud, so that external entities cannot have access to the whole confidential data. Because partial data are stored in clear on cloud premises, outsourced functionalities are seamlessly and efficiently supported by just broadcasting queries to the different cloud locations. To enforce a robust privacy notion, our proposal relies on a privacy model that offers a priori privacy guarantees; to ensure its feasibility, we have designed heuristic algorithms that minimize the number of cloud storage locations we need; to show its potential and generality, we have applied it to the least structured and most challenging data type: plain textual documents.

description: This study explored the regenerative osteogenic response in the distal femur of sheep using scaffolds having stiffness values within, and above and below, the range of trabecular bone apparent modulus. Scaffolds 3D-printed from stiff titanium and compliant polyamide were implanted into a cylindrical metaphyseal defect 15 × 15 mm. After six weeks, bone ingrowth varied between 7 and 21% of the scaffold pore volume and this was generally inversely proportional to scaffold stiffness. The individual reparative response considerably varied among the animals, which could be divided into weak and strong responders. Notably, bone regeneration specifically within the interior of the scaffold was inversely proportional to scaffold stiffness and was strain-driven in strongly-responding animals. Conversely, bone regeneration at the periphery of the defect was injury-driven and equal in all scaffolds and in all strongly- and weakly-responding animals. The observation of the strain-driven response in some, but not all, animals highlights that scaffold compliance is desirable for triggering host bone regeneration, but scaffold permanence is important for the load-bearing, structural role of the bone-replacing device. Indeed, scaffolds may benefit from being nonresorbable and mechanically reliable for those unforeseeable cases of weakly responding recipients.

description: Little is known about the potential mental health impacts of cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing interventions that focus on alcohol reduction among people with HIV (PWH). Our study aimed to assess the impact of two evidence-based alcohol reduction interventions on depression and anxiety symptoms of antiretroviral therapy (ART) clients with hazardous alcohol use. We conducted a secondary data analysis of data from a three-arm randomized controlled trial among ART clients in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam that evaluated the impacts of two alcohol reduction interventions in Vietnam. ART clients 18 years old or more with hazardous alcohol use (based on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption) were enrolled and randomized into one of three arms: Combined intervention, Brief intervention, and Standard of care (SOC). Symptoms of depression, measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and anxiety, measured with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale, were assessed at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months post-intervention. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate the effects of the interventions on depression and anxiety symptoms. The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms at baseline was 25.1% and 16.1%, respectively. Decreases in depression and anxiety symptoms were observed in all three arms from baseline to 12-month follow-up. There were no significant differences in depression and anxiety symptoms among participants receiving either intervention, relative to the SOC. Interventions with a dual focus on alcohol and mental health are needed to achieve more pronounced and sustainable improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms for PWH with hazardous alcohol use.

For interfaces cleaned by hydrogen plasma the TMR effect is increased and observable at room temperature. If an epitaxial Fe/GaAs(001) interface is involved, the tunnel junction exhibits a bias dependent inversion of the TMR effect. This is a first experimental signature for band structure effects at a Fe/GaAs interface and relevant for spin injection experiments.

description: Background: Stigma around human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), injection drug use (IDU), and mental health disorders can be co-occurring and have different impacts on the well-being of people living with HIV (PWH) who use drugs and have mental health disorders. This stigma can come from society, health professionals, and internalized stigma. A person who has more than one health condition can experience overlapping health-related stigma and levels of stigma which can prevent them from receiving necessary support and healthcare, serving to intensify their experience with stigma. This study investigates HIV, drug use, and mental health stigmas in three dimensions (social, internalized, and professional) around PWH on methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) who have common mental disorders (CMDs) including depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders in Hanoi, Vietnam.Please check and confirm whether corresponding author's email id is correctly identified.The cooresponding author's email is correct Methods: We conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews (IDIs) (n = 21) and two focus group discussions (FGDs) (n = 10) with PWH receiving MMT who have CMD symptoms, their family members, clinic health care providers, and clinic directors. We applied thematic analysis using NVIVO software version 12.0, with themes based on IDI and FGD guides and emergent themes from interview transcripts. Results: The study found evidence of different stigmas towards HIV, IDU, and CMDs from the community, family, health care providers, and participants themselves. Community and family members were physically and emotionally distant from patients due to societal stigma around illicit drug use and fears of acquiring HIV. Participants often conflated stigmas around drug use and HIV, referring to these stigmas interchangeably. The internalized stigma around having HIV and injecting drugs made PWH on MMT hesitant to seek support for CMDs. These stigmas compounded to negatively impact participants’ health. Conclusions: Strategies to reduce stigma affecting PWH on MMT should concurrently address stigmas around HIV, drug addiction, and mental health. Future studies could explore approaches to address internalized stigma to improve self-esteem, mental health, and capacities to cope with stigma for PWH on MMT.

description: The Helmholtz conditions are necessary and sufficient conditions for a system of second order differential equations to be variational, that is, equivalent to a system of Euler-Lagrange equations for a regular Lagrangian. On the other hand, matching conditions are sufficient conditions for a class of controlled systems to be variational for a Lagrangian function of a prescribed type, known as the controlled Lagrangian. Using the Helmholtz conditions we are able to recover the matching conditions from [8]. Furthermore we can derive new matching conditions for a particular class of mechanical systems. It turns out that for this class of systems we obtain feedback controls that only depend on the configuration variables. We test this new strategy for the inverted pendulum on a cart and for the inverted pendulum on an incline.

description: Centrins are calmodulin-like phosphoproteins present in the centrosome and play an active role in the duplication, separation and organization of centrosomal structures such as the microtubule-organizing centre (MTOC) during mitosis. They are also major components of the basal body of flagella and cilia. In Plasmodium spp., the parasite that causes malaria, mitosis is closed during asexual replication and the MTOC is embedded within the intact nuclear membrane. The MTOC has been named the centriolar plaque and is similar to the spindle pole body in yeast. In all phases of asexual replication, repeated rounds of nuclear division precede cell division. However, our knowledge of the location and function of centrins during this process is limited. Previous studies have identified four putative centrins in the human parasite Plasmodiumfalciparum. We report here the cellular localization of an alveolate-specific centrin (PbCEN-4) during the atypical cell division of asexual replicative stages, using live cell imaging with the rodent malaria parasite P. berghei as a model system. We show that this centrin forms a multi-protein complex with other centrins, but is dispensable for parasite proliferation.

description: The connection between a Taylor series and a continued-fraction involves a nonlinear relation between the Taylor coefficients $\{ a_n \}$ and the continued-fraction coefficients $\{ b_n \}$. In many instances it turns out that this nonlinear relation transforms a complicated sequence $\{a_n \}$ into a very simple one $\{ b_n \}$. We illustrate this simplification in the context of graph combinatorics.

description: Purpose: The impact of incarceration on health is well known. Yet, most studies measure incarceration alone and miss additional exposure to the criminal legal system over time. We evaluated adult criminal legal sanctions – inclusive of arrests, charges, probation, incarceration – from ages 18–35 and inequities by juvenile sanctions and race. Methods: Using the National Longitudinal Survey on Youth 1997, a nationally representative data set of adolescents followed into their mid-thirties (1997–2017), we calculated the mean cumulative count, or the average number of criminal legal events per person per study visit, stratified by juvenile sanctions and race. Results: Of 7024 participants, 1679 experienced 3,075 encounters. There were seven arrests, 30 charges, nine probation encounters, and 13 incarceration events /100 participants by age 35. Juvenile sanctions were most common for Black individuals. Among those experiencing juvenile sanctions, Black and White individuals had similar numbers of encounters, but Black individuals had more arrests and incarceration stays. For those without juvenile encounters, Black individuals had more encounters than White individuals. Conclusions: Research on health effects of criminal legal sanctions must consider encounters beyond incarceration and focus on life course trajectories and racial inequities.

description: The structure of ABO3 perovskites is dominated by two types of unstable modes, namely, the oxygen octahedral rotation (AFD) and ferroelectric (FE) mode. It is generally believed that such AFD and FE modes tend to compete and suppress each other. Here we use first-principles methods to show that a dual nature of the AFD-FE coupling, which turns from competitive to cooperative as the AFD mode strengthens, occurs in numerous perovskite oxides. We provide a unified model of such a dual interaction by introducing novel high-order coupling terms, and explain the atomistic origin of the resulting new form of ferroelectricity in terms of universal steric mechanisms. We also predict that such a novel form of ferroelectricity leads to atypical behaviors, such as an enhancement of the electric polarization under hydrostatic pressure.

description: In the real world, experimental data are rarely, if ever, distributed as a normal (Gaussian) distribution. As an example, a large set of data--such as the cross sections for particle scattering as a function of energy contained in the archives of the Particle Data Group--is a compendium of all published data, and hence, unscreened. Inspection of similar data sets quickly shows that, for many reasons, these data sets have many outliers--points well beyond what is expected from a normal distribution--thus ruling out the use of conventional $χ^2$ techniques. This note suggests an adaptive algorithm that allows a phenomenologist to apply to the data sample a sieve whose mesh is coarse enough to let the background fall through, but fine enough to retain the preponderance of the signal, thus sifting the data. A prescription is given for finding a robust estimate of the best-fit model parameters in the presence of a noisy background, together with a robust estimate of the model parameter errors, as well as a determination of the goodness-of-fit of the data to the theoretical hypothesis. Extensive computer simulations are carried out to test the algorithm for both its accuracy and stability under varying background conditions.

description: We have obtained time-series infrared photometry for the highly magnetic cataclysmic variable AR UMa. Our J and K' band observations occurred during a low state and they show a distinctive double-humped structure. Using detailed models for the expected ellipsoidal variations in the infrared due to the non-spherical secondary star, we find that the most likely value for the system inclination is 70 degrees. We also model low state V band photometry and find that its observed double-humped structure is not caused by ellipsoidal variations, as they have been ascribed to, but are due to beamed cyclotron radiation. We use this result to estimate the magnetic field strength of the active southern accretion region (B <= 190 MG) and its magnetic longitude (330 degrees).

description: The Josephson Plasma Resonance is used to study the c-axis supercurrent in the superconducting state of underdoped Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ with varying degrees of controlled point-like disorder, introduced by high-energy electron irradiation. As disorder is increased, the Josephson Plasma frequency decreases proportionally to the critical temperature. The temperature dependence of the plasma frequency does not depend on the irradiation dose, and is in quantitative agreement with a model for quantum fluctuations of the superconducting phase in the CuO$_{2}$ layers.

description: We characterized 55 influenza A(H9N2) viruses isolated in Pakistan during 2014-2016 and found that the hemagglutinin gene is of the G1 lineage and that internal genes have differentiated into a variety of novel genotypes. Some isolates had up to 4-fold reduction in hemagglutination inhibition titers compared with older viruses. Viruses with hemagglutinin A180T/V substitutions conveyed this antigenic diversity and also caused up to 3,500-fold greater binding to avian-like and >20-fold greater binding to human-like sialic acid receptor analogs. This enhanced binding avidity led to reduced virus replication in primary and continuous cell culture. We confirmed that altered receptor-binding avidity of H9N2 viruses, including enhanced binding to human-like receptors, results in antigenic variation in avian influenza viruses. Consequently, current vaccine formulations might not induce adequate protective immunity in poultry, and emergence of isolates with marked avidity for human-like receptors increases the zoonotic risk.
