description: Abstract: Background: Problematic use of the Internet has been highlighted as needing further study by international bodies, including the European Union and American Psychiatric Association. Knowledge regarding the optimal classification of problematic use of the Internet, subtypes, and associations with clinical disorders has been hindered by reliance on measurement instruments characterized by limited psychometric properties and external validation. Methods: Non-treatment seeking individuals were recruited from the community of Stellenbosch, South Africa (N = 1661), and Chicago, United States of America (N = 827). Participants completed an online version of the Internet Addiction Test, a widely used measure of problematic use of the Internet consisting of 20-items, measured on a 5-point Likert-scale. The online questions also included demographic measures, time spent engaging in different online activities, and clinical scales. The psychometric properties of the Internet Addiction Test, and potential problematic use of the Internet subtypes, were characterized using factor analysis and latent class analysis. Results: Internet Addiction Test data were optimally conceptualized as unidimensional. Latent class analysis identified two groups: those essentially free from Internet use problems, and those with problematic use of the Internet situated along a unidimensional spectrum. Internet Addiction Test scores clearly differentiated these groups, but with different optimal cut-offs at each site. In the larger Stellenbosch dataset, there was evidence for two subtypes of problematic use of the Internet that differed in severity: a lower severity “impulsive” subtype (linked with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), and a higher severity “compulsive” subtype (linked with obsessive-compulsive personality traits). Conclusions: Problematic use of the Internet as measured by the Internet Addiction Test reflects a quasi-trait - a unipolar dimension in which most variance is restricted to a subset of people with problems regulating Internet use. There was no evidence for subtypes based on the type of online activities engaged in, which increased similarly with overall severity of Internet use problems. Measures of comorbid psychiatric symptoms, along with impulsivity, and compulsivity, appear valuable for differentiating clinical subtypes and could be included in the development of new instruments for assessing the presence and severity of Internet use problems.

On diagrammatic level a summation procedure is established, which in the U(N) case delivers the full star-product induced rules. Thereby we uncover a cancellation mechanism between certain diagrams, which is crucial in the U(N) case, but set out of work for $G\subset U(N)$. In addition, an explicit proof is given that for $G\subset U(N), G\neq U(M), M

description: Finding data is a necessary precursor to being able to reuse data, although relatively little large-scale empirical evidence exists about how researchers discover, make sense of and (re)use data for research. This study presents evidence from the largest known survey investigating how researchers discover and use data that they do not create themselves. We examine the data needs and discovery strategies of respondents, propose a typology for data reuse and probe the role of social interactions and literature search in data discovery. We consider how data communities can be conceptualized according to data uses and propose practical applications of our findings for designers of data discovery systems and repositories. Specifically, we consider how to design for a diversity of practices, how communities of use can serve as an entry point for design and the role of metadata in supporting both sensemaking and social interactions.

description: Gypsum use on cropland offers a number of potential benefits. We surveyed a sample of farmers to learn more about their experiences with gypsum. Respondents’ evaluations of gypsum suggest significant benefits in a number of areas related to soil fertility and condition, water management, and crop performance. Most estimated their gypsum use to be profitable, and their mean partial benefit to cost (B/C) ratio was 1.68. Benefits from gypsum usage were not instantaneous, but rather increased over time. Also, substantial off-farm benefits were likely realized with their gypsum use.

description: Agricultural land values have increased by an average of 21 percent each year since 2010 until recently when commodity prices dropped substantially. The accompanying decrease in profitability raises concerns that current land prices are not sustainable. This study presents a regression analysis of land prices in Kansas using data from 2012 through June 2014. Regression allows valuation of individual characteristics of land parcels as well as time adjustments. Prices projected by the model trended upward through 2013, but decreased between the last quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, suggesting that prices for land may have peaked in 2013.

description: Despite the variety of experimental models of spinal cord injury (SCI) currently used, the model of the ventral compression cord injury, which is commonly seen in humans, is very limited. Ventral balloon compression injury reflects the common anatomical mechanism of a human lesion and has the advantage of grading the injury severity by controlling the inflated volume of the balloon. In this study, ventral compression of the SCI was performed by the anterior epidural placement of the balloon of a 2F Fogarty’s catheter, via laminectomy, at the level of T10. The balloon was rapidly inflated with 10 or 15 μL of saline and rested in situ for 5 min. The severity of the lesion was assessed by behavioral and immunohistochemical tests. Compression with the volume of 15 μL resulted in severe motor and sensory deficits represented by the complete inability to move across a horizontal ladder, a final Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) score of 7.4 and a decreased withdrawal time in the plantar test (11.6 s). Histology and immunohistochemistry revealed a significant loss of white and gray matter with a loss of motoneuron, and an increased size of astrogliosis. An inflation volume of 10 μL resulted in a mild transient deficit. There are no other balloon compression models of ventral spinal cord injury. This study provided and validated a novel, easily replicable model of the ventral compression SCI, introduced by an inflated balloon of Fogarty´s catheter. For a severe incomplete deficit, an inflated volume should be maintained at 15 μL.

NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

description: As part of the AO-related upgrades envisioned for the Gemini Observatory a feasibility study has been started aiming to integrate GeMS with Flamingos-2 operations. This latter, hereafter referred to as F2, is a wide-field near-infrared imager, long-slit and multi-object spectrograph with a demand contribution among the Gemini South instruments currently ranging around 15-20%. The integration with GeMS can open the possibility for an AO-corrected beam to feed spectroscopic modes, thus significantly increasing the sensitivity and spatial resolution of F2 observations covering J, H and K bands. First steps towards this goal included a characterization of the current PSF centroid stability delivered by GeMS using the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI), followed by actual tests with the GeMS+F2 setup. A brief presentation of main aspects and challenges being addressed in this feasibility study is given, such as related to calibration issues, a revisit of the non-common path aberrations calibration strategy, background contribution and field distortion characterization. Results from preliminary operational settings and on-sky tests are presented.

description: Farmers have many options for choosing equipment that is required to grow and harvest a crop. Farmers may own their own equipment, lease it, or have the field operations completed using custom operators. For those farmers who choose to own most of their equipment, there are additional decisions about the size and quantity of equipment needed. This paper uses a 15-year dataset of farm financial data from the Kansas Farm Management Association (KFMA) to examine how depreciation, machinery repairs, and the use of custom operators vary by farm profitability quintiles. Results indicate that the most profitable farms also have the highest levels of depreciation but that the machinery level is probably not excessive.

description: Global CO2 emissions have surged due to industrialization and fossil fuel dependency, with top emitters like China, the U.S., and India driving climate change. While renewable energy adoption is increasing, emissions reductions remain slow, further exacerbated by deforestation and land-use changes. Climate policies such as carbon pricing and emission targets aim to curb pollution, but challenges persist, especially for developing nations balancing growth with sustainability. Scientific data underscores the urgent need for net-zero emissions by mid-century, while technological innovations in carbon capture offer potential solutions. Public awareness and activism play a crucial role in pushing for greener policies. To explore more insights, check out our full report on global CO2 emissions.

description: Supersonic turbulence is a key player in controlling the structure and star formation potential of molecular clouds (MCs). The three-dimensional (3D) turbulent Mach number, $\mathcal{M}$, allows us to predict the rate of star formation. However, determining Mach numbers in observations is challenging because it requires accurate measurements of the velocity dispersion. Moreover, observations are limited to two-dimensional (2D) projections of the MCs and velocity information can usually only be obtained for the line-of-sight component. Here we present a new method that allows us to estimate $\mathcal{M}$ from the 2D column density, $Σ$, by analysing the fractal dimension, $\mathcal{D}$. We do this by computing $\mathcal{D}$ for six simulations, ranging between $1$ and $100$ in $\mathcal{M}$. From this data we are able to construct an empirical relation, $\log\mathcal{M}(\mathcal{D}) = ξ_1(\text{erfc}^{-1} [(\mathcal{D}-\mathcal{D}_{\text{min}})/Ω] + ξ_2),$ where $\text{erfc}^{-1}$ is the inverse complimentary error function, $\mathcal{D}_{\text{min}} = 1.55 \pm 0.13$ is the minimum fractal dimension of $Σ$, $Ω= 0.22 \pm 0.07$, $ξ_1 = 0.9 \pm 0.1$ and $ξ_2 = 0.2 \pm 0.2$. We test the accuracy of this new relation on column density maps from $Herschel$ observations of two quiescent subregions in the Polaris Flare MC, `saxophone' and `quiet'. We measure $\mathcal{M} \sim 10$ and $\mathcal{M} \sim 2$ for the subregions, respectively, which is similar to previous estimates based on measuring the velocity dispersion from molecular line data. These results show that this new empirical relation can provide useful estimates of the cloud kinematics, solely based upon the geometry from the column density of the cloud.

description: Rapid 3+1D transverse plus Bjorken collective expansion in $A+A$ collisions at ultra-relativistic energies is shown to reduce substantially the azimuthal asymmetry resulting from jet quenching. While the azimuthal asymmetry in non-central collisions, $v_2(p_T>2 \rm{GeV/c})\sim 0.15$ reported by STAR at RHIC, can be accounted for by spatially anisotropic jet energy loss through a 1+1D expanding gluon plasma with $dN^g/dy\sim 1000$, we show that if rapid transverse collective expansion of the plasma is assumed, then the asymmetry due to jet quenching may be reduced below the observed level. Possible implications of this effect are discussed.

description: Given $l>2ν>2d\geq 4$, we prove the persistence of a Cantor--family of KAM tori of measure $O(\varepsilon^{1/2-ν/l})$ for any non--degenerate nearly integrable Hamiltonian system of class $C^l(\mathscr D\times\mathbb{T}^d)$, where $\mathscr D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a bounded domain, provided that the size $\varepsilon$ of the perturbation is sufficiently small. This extends a result by D. Salamon in \cite{salamon2004kolmogorov} according to which we do have the persistence of a single KAM torus in the same framework. Moreover, it is well--known that, for the persistence of a single torus, the regularity assumption can not be improved.

Here, we elaborate on some aspects of that particular scenario and discuss the stability of the stationary brane solution and the dynamics of a probe brane. Even though the brane is unstable under a small perturbation from its stationary position, such instability is harmless when the 4-D cosmological constant is very small, as is the case of our universe. One may also introduce radion stabilizing potentials in a more realistic scenario.

Theory of the electron-ion temperature relaxation rate spanning the hot solid metals and plasma phases

description: We present a theory for the rate of energy exchange between electrons and ions -- also known as the electron-ion coupling factor -- in physical systems ranging from hot solid metals to plasmas, including liquid metals and warm dense matter. The paper provides the theoretical foundations of a recent work [J. Simoni and J. Daligault, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 122}, 205001 (2019)], where first-principles quantum molecular dynamics calculations based on this theory were presented for representative materials and conditions. We first derive a general expression for the electron-ion coupling factor that includes self-consistently the quantum mechanical and statistical nature of electrons, the thermal and disorder effects, and the correlations between particles. We show that our theory reduces to well-known models in limiting cases. In particular, we show that it simplifies to the standard electron-phonon coupling formula in the limit of hot solids with lattice and electronic temperatures much greater than the Debye temperature, and that it extends the electron-phonon coupling formula beyond the harmonic phonon approximation. For plasmas, we show that the theory readily reduces to well-know Spitzer formula in the hot plasma limit, to the Fermi golden rule formula in the limit of weak electron-ion interactions, and to other models proposed to go beyond the latter approximation. We explain that the electron-ion coupling is particularly well adapted to averaged atom models, which offer an effective way to include non-ideal interaction effects to the standard models and at a much reduced computational cost in comparison to first-principles quantum molecular dynamics simulations.

description: Abstract: Individuals with subthreshold depression have an increased risk of developing major depressive disorder (MDD). The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model to predict the probability of MDD onset in subthreshold individuals, based on their proteomic, sociodemographic and clinical data. To this end, we analysed 198 features (146 peptides representing 77 serum proteins (measured using MRM-MS), 22 sociodemographic factors and 30 clinical features) in 86 first-episode MDD patients (training set patient group), 37 subthreshold individuals who developed MDD within two or four years (extrapolation test set patient group), and 86 subthreshold individuals who did not develop MDD within four years (shared reference group). To ensure the development of a robust and reproducible model, we applied feature extraction and model averaging across a set of 100 models obtained from repeated application of group LASSO regression with ten-fold cross-validation on the training set. This resulted in a 12-feature prediction model consisting of six serum proteins (AACT, APOE, APOH, FETUA, HBA and PHLD), three sociodemographic factors (body mass index, childhood trauma and education level) and three depressive symptoms (sadness, fatigue and leaden paralysis). Importantly, the model demonstrated a fair performance in predicting future MDD diagnosis of subthreshold individuals in the extrapolation test set (AUC = 0.75), which involved going beyond the scope of the model. These findings suggest that it may be possible to detect disease indications in subthreshold individuals up to four years prior to diagnosis, which has important clinical implications regarding the identification and treatment of high-risk individuals.

description: Abstract: Background: Perinatal mental health problems affect up to one in five women worldwide. Mental health problems in the perinatal period are a particular challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where they can be at least twice as frequent as in higher-income countries. It is thus of high priority to develop new low-cost, low-resource, non-stigmatising and culturally appropriate approaches to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression perinatally, for the benefit of both mother and child. Music-centred approaches may be particularly useful in The Gambia since a range of musical practices that specifically engage pregnant women and new mothers already exist. Methods: This protocol is for a study to examine the feasibility of undertaking a stepped wedge trial to test how a Community Health Intervention through Musical Engagement (CHIME) could be beneficial in alleviating perinatal mental distress in The Gambia. In this study, we plan to recruit 120 pregnant women (n = 60 intervention, n = 60 control) at four antenatal clinics over two 6-week stepped sequences. Women in the intervention will participate in weekly group-singing sessions, led by local Kanyeleng singing groups, for 6 weeks. The control group will receive standard care. We will assess symptoms of anxiety and depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). The feasibility of the design will be assessed through recruitment, retention and attrition rates of participants, clinics' adherence to the schedule and completeness of data by site. Qualitative interviews and video and audio recordings will be used to evaluate the acceptability of the intervention. Discussion: This feasibility trial will allow us to determine whether a larger trial with the same intervention and target group is feasible and acceptable in The Gambia.

description: Abstract: Research Question: How did the use of diversion from prosecution and criminal sentencing change in Victoria, Australia, in the 10 years to 2016/2017, with what estimated effects on repeat offending? Data: We tracked 1,163,113 criminal cases brought against both juveniles and adults by police in the state of Victoria, Australia, including 181,836 diversions, during the 10-year time period from the fiscal year of 2007/2008 through 2016/2017. Methods: Taking the percentage of all cases diverted in the first year (25.6%), we calculated for each of the study years how many more cases would have been diverted from prosecution across the subsequent 9 years if the diversion rate had stayed the same (“missed opportunities”). We multiplied the estimated number of these “missed opportunities” by the reduced frequency of repeat offences that the prosecuted offenders were likely to have committed, after adjusting for the time at risk by the number of years left in the study period. Then, based on a systematic review of diversion experiments (Petrosino et al. 2010), we applied the standardised effect size of diversion in those studies to Farrington’s (1992) annualised crime frequency per 100 offenders aged 25, multiplying that effect across all of the person-years after a case was prosecuted rather than diverted, using both population-based rates and rates based only on detected offenders at that age. Findings: The diversion rate in Victoria dropped in half over 10 years, from 25.6% to 12.5%. The total missed opportunities for diversion, compared to the counterfactual of applying diversion at a constant rate of 25% over that time period, totalled 115,885 cases over the 10 years. Taking an average effect size (d = − 0.232) across seven experiments with a mean follow-up time of 12–13 months, as derived from a systematic review of diversion experiment outcomes, our illustrative estimate is that at least 8 crimes per year per 100 offenders could have been prevented among the missed opportunity cases. Using a population rate of offending, the estimate equals 1474 crimes that could have been prevented. Using the offending population rate, we estimate that 37,050 offences could have been prevented. Conclusions: While the exact amount of crime prevented remains speculative, the application of best evidence to the missed opportunity cases suggests that more diversion could have resulted in substantially less repeat offending, and hence less total crime.

description: In this work we introduce CPT-odd non-minimal Lorentz-symmetry violating couplings to the electroweak sector modifying the interaction between leptons and gauge bosons. The vertex rules allow us to calculate tree-level processes modified by the presence of the novel dimension-five operators. For definitiveness, we investigate the $W$ decay into a lepton-neutrino pair, the $Z$ decay into pairs of charged and neutral leptons, as well as the decay of the muon. By comparing the experimental measurements on these processes to our results we are able to bound several combinations of the background 4-vectors to be $\lesssim 10^{-4} \, \mbox{GeV}^{-1}$.

description: A catalog containing milliarcsecond--accurate positions of 1332 extragalactic radio sources distributed over the northern sky is presented - the Very Long Baseline Array Calibrator Survey (VCS1). The positions have been derived from astrometric analysis of dual-frequency 2.3 and 8.4 GHz VLBA snapshot observations; in a majority of cases, images of the sources are also available. These radio sources are suitable for use in geodetic and astrometric experiments, and as phase-reference calibrators in high-sensitivity astronomical imaging. The VCS1 is the largest high-resolution radio survey ever undertaken, and triples the number of sources available to the radio astronomy community for VLBI applications. In addition to the astrometric role, this survey can be used in active galactic nuclei, Galactic, gravitational lens and cosmological studies. The VCS1 catalog will soon be available at www.nrao.edu/vlba/VCS1 .

Oscillations of neutrinos and mesons in quantum field theory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This report deals with the quantum field theory of particle oscillations in vacuum. We first review the various controversies regarding quantum-mechanical derivations of the oscillation formula, as well as the different field-theoretical approaches proposed to settle them. We then clear up the contradictions between the existing field-theoretical treatments by a thorough study of the external wave packet model. In particular, we show that the latter includes stationary models as a subcase. In addition, we explicitly compute decoherence terms, which destroy interferences, in order to prove that the coherence length can be increased without bound by more accurate energy measurements. We show that decoherence originates not only in the width and in the separation of wave packets, but also in their spreading through space-time. In this review, we neither assume the relativistic limit nor the stability of oscillating particles, so that the oscillation formula derived with field-theoretical methods can be applied not only to neutrinos but also to neutral K and B mesons. Finally, we discuss oscillations of correlated particles in the same framework.

Primordial Inflation and Present-Day Cosmological Constant from Extra Dimensions

description: A semiclassical gravitation model is outlined which makes use of the Casimir energy density of vacuum fluctuations in extra compactified dimensions to produce the present-day cosmological constant as rho_LAMBDA ~ M^8/M_P^4, where M_P is the Planck scale and M is the weak interaction scale. The model is based on (4+D)-dimensional gravity, with D = 2 extra dimensions with radius b(t) curled up at the ADD length scale b_0 = M_P/M^2 ~ 0.1 mm. Vacuum fluctuations in the compactified space perturb b_0 very slightly, generating a small present-day cosmological constant. The radius of the compactified dimensions is predicted to be b_0 = k^{1/4} 0.09 mm (or equivalently M = 2.4 TeV/k^{1/8}), where the Casimir energy density is k/b^4. Primordial inflation of our three-dimensional space occurs as in the cosmology of the ADD model as the inflaton b(t), which initially is on the order of 1/M ~ 10^{-17} cm, rolls down its potential to b_0.

partial information decomposition

description: Abstract: Multivariate information decompositions hold promise to yield insight into complex systems, and stand out for their ability to identify synergistic phenomena. However, the adoption of these approaches has been hindered by there being multiple possible decompositions, and no precise guidance for preferring one over the others. At the heart of this disagreement lies the absence of a clear operational interpretation of what synergistic information is. Here we fill this gap by proposing a new information decomposition based on a novel operationalisation of informational synergy, which leverages recent developments in the literature of data privacy. Our decomposition is defined for any number of information sources, and its atoms can be calculated using elementary optimisation techniques. The decomposition provides a natural coarse-graining that scales gracefully with the system’s size, and is applicable in a wide range of scenarios of practical interest.

description: We report on the realization of a Fermi-Fermi mixture of ultracold atoms that combines mass imbalance, tunability, and collisional stability. In an optically trapped sample of $^{161}$Dy and $^{40}$K, we identify a broad Feshbach resonance centered at a magnetic field of $217\,$G. Hydrodynamic expansion profiles in the resonant interaction regime reveal a bimodal behavior resulting from mass imbalance. Lifetime studies on resonance show a suppression of inelastic few-body processes by orders of magnitude, which we interpret as a consequence of the fermionic nature of our system. The resonant mixture opens up intriguing perspectives for studies on novel states of strongly correlated fermions with mass imbalance.

description: This paper analyzes the level of integration in 9 grain markets in Mali. The results indicate an interdependence among markets where, in majority of cases, more than 56 percent of price variation is due to shocks emanating from Segou market. Ségou market exhibited a high level of interaction with other markets, behaving mostly as a price information leader. Some markets behaved as source of price information, however, without taking a clear price leadership role. This high level of grain market interaction may be attributed to the location of Segou on main road axis linking deficit and surplus production region, establishing itself as a grain commercial hub.

description: Our study focuses on 3 vegetables mainly purchased in Korea; onion, garlic, and dried red pepper. We develop atypical index reflecting consumers’ attention on those vegetables from social network service (SNS) websites and major portal sites such as Google. Specifically, using text mining program, we gather associate web-search data, making simple query data measuring frequency on websites and Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) considering weights of core keywords on websites. We introduce those asymptotic indexes into the Bayesian structural time series models with climate factors impacting vegetable prices. Results show that the introduction of atypical web-search data can improve vegetable price prediction power compared to pure time-series models without atypical indexes.

description: We show how to control the movement of a wheeled robot using on-board liquid marbles made of Belousov-Zhabotinsky solution droplets coated with polyethylene powder. Two stainless steel, iridium coated electrodes were inserted in a marble and the electrical potential recorded was used to control the robot's motor. We stimulated the marble with a laser beam. It responded to the stimulation by pronounced changes in the electrical potential output. The electrical output was detected by robot. The robot was changing its trajectory in response to the stimulation. The results open new horizons for applications for oscillatory chemical reactions in robotics.
Interacting fermions on noncommutative spaces: Exactly solvable quantum field theories in 2n+1 dimensions
Creators: name: Langmann, Edwin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: I present a novel class of exactly solvable quantum field theories. They describe non-relativistic fermions on even dimensional flat space, coupled to a constant external magnetic field and a four point interaction defined with the Groenewold-Moyal star product. Using Hamiltonian quantization and a suitable regularization, I show that these models have a dynamical symmetry corresponding to $\gl_\infty\oplus \gl_\infty$ at the special points where the magnetic field $B$ is related to the matrix $θ$ defining the star product as $Bθ=\pm I$. I construct all eigenvalues and eigenstates of the many-body Hamiltonian at these special points. I argue that this solution cannot be obtained by any mean-field theory, i.e. the models describe correlated fermions. I also mention other possible interpretations of these models in solid state physics.

HST/WFPC2 Images of the GG Tauri Circumbinary Disk

description: We present the first visible wavelength images of the GG Tauri circumbinary ring, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. Scattered light from the ring is detected in both V and I band images. The images show that the ring is smooth, except for a small gap that could be a shadow caused by material between the stars and the ring. The spokes seen extending from the stars to the ring in ground-based adaptive optics images are not seen in our data, which suggests that they may be image artifacts. The nearside/farside surface brightness ratio is 6.9 in I band, consistent with forward scattering by small dust grains. The azimuth of the peak ring surface brightness appears offset by 13 degrees from the azimuth closest to us, as seen in previous near-IR HST observations. This may indicate that the ring is warped or somehow shadowed by the circumstellar disks. The color of the ring is redder than the combined light from the stars as observed by HST, confirming previous measurements that indicate that circumstellar disks may introduce extinction of light illuminating the ring. We detect a bright, compact arc of material 0.3 arcseconds from the secondary star at an azimuth opposite the primary. It appears to be too large to be a circumstellar disk and is not at the expected location for dust trapped at a Lagrange point.
