description: In a round-robin tournament, a team may lack the incentive to win if its final rank does not depend on the outcome of the matches still to be played. This paper introduces a classification scheme to determine these weakly (where one team is indifferent) or strongly (where both teams are indifferent) stakeless matches in a double round-robin contest with four teams. The probability that such matches arise can serve as a novel fairness criterion to compare and evaluate match schedules. Our approach is illustrated by the UEFA Champions League group stage. A simulation model is built to compare the 12 valid schedules for the group matches. Some schedules are shown to be dominated by other schedules. It is found that the strongest team should play at home in the last round against one of the middle teams, depending on the preferences of the tournament organiser. Choosing an optimal sequence of matches with respect to the proposed metric can help to avoid uninteresting matches.

description: We discuss general multidimensional axion-dilatonic AdS gravity which may correspond to bosonic sector of Gibbons-Green-Perry (compactified) IIB supergravity with RR-scalar (axion). Using AdS/CFT correspondence the 4d conformal anomaly on axion-dilaton-gravitational background is found from SG side. It is shown that for IIB SG with axion such conformal anomaly coincides with the one obtained from QFT calculation in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory conformally coupled with ${\cal N}=4$ conformal SG. Brief discussion on possibility to apply these results for gauged SGs is also presented.

New effective treatment of the light-front nonvalence contribution in timelike exclusive processes

description: We discuss a necessary nonvalence contribution in timelike exclusive processes. Following a Schwinger-Dyson type of approach, we relate the nonvalence contribution to an ordinary light-front wave function that has been extensively tested in the spacelike exclusive processes. A complicate four-body energy denominator is exactly cancelled in summing the light-front time-ordered amplitudes. Applying our method to $K_{\ell3}$ and $D^0\to K^- \ell^+ ν_l$ where a rather substantial nonvalence contribution is expected, we find not only an improvement in comparing with the experimental data but also a covariance(i.e. frame-independence) of existing light-front constituent quark model.

description: The evolution of three-dimensional, large-scale, magnetic fields, in a galactic disk is investigated numerically. The N-body simulations of galactic dynamics are incorporated into the kinematic calculations of induction equations to study the influence of non-axisymmetric gas flows on the galactic magnetic field. The time-dependent gas velocity fields are introduced as input parameters for the MHD-simulations. Our principal concern is to check how dynamical evolution of the galactic gas affects the global magnetic field structure and intensity. We have found that the magnetic field responds sensitively to changes in the gas velocity field, and even slight variations of the dynamical parameters, such as the gas mass/total mass ratio results in nonuniform intensity structures, i.e. magnetic arms. The magnetic lines of force are well aligned with spiral arms and bar due to compressional flows in these features. In the inter-arm regions the areas with magnetic vectors going opposite to the main magnetic spirals are present.

description: In this paper, we study the estimation of the effective number of relativistic species from a combination of CMB and BAO data. We vary different ingredients of the analysis: the Planck high-$\ell$ likelihoods, the Boltzmann solvers, and the statistical approaches. The variation of the inferred values gives an indication of an additional systematic uncertainty, which is of the same order of magnitude as the error derived from each individual likelihood. We show that this systematic is essentially associated to the assumptions made in the high-$\ell$ likelihoods implementations, in particular for the foreground residuals modellings. We also compare a subset of likelihoods using only the TE power spectra, expected to be less sensitive to foreground residuals.

Triad of trust : vaccine decision-making by pregnant people during the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia and Ontario
Creators: name: Krug-Mushey, Alex
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Background: While challenges surrounding vaccine acceptance in pregnancy were prevalent prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, this pandemic introduced a different context for pregnant people – including concerns about COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, changes to the format of perinatal care and social support, and the introduction of new vaccines. This thesis aims to examine these new influences on vaccine decision-making during pregnancy. Methods: Using data from a mixed-methods project headed by the University of British Columbia and McMaster University, this research seeks to answer the question, “How does trust influence the decision-making process of pregnant people around vaccination during pregnancy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic?” Data from semi-structured interviews with 74 participants who gave birth in Ontario or British Columbia from May 1st, 2020 to December 1st, 2021 were analyzed. This process of reflexive thematic analysis was initially conducted with sensitizing constructs from the Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behaviour, and Health Belief Model but came to incorporate Maya J. Goldenberg’s “Crisis of Trust” framework following preliminary analysis. Results: With the role of trust as central to this analysis, an extended “Crisis of Trust” model was created, with three related, overlapping facets identified – trust in prenatal care providers, trust in institutions, and trust in networks. Trust in prenatal care providers was shaped by participants’ goals of alleviating their mental load, differential cultural norms influencing degrees of trust in healthcare providers, and perceived transparency of providers. Trust in institutions focused on overall trust in the government and healthcare system, trust in the goodwill of the pharmaceutical industry (or lack thereof) and perceptions of relationships between these institutions. Finally, trust in networks included social networks as a potent site of (dis)trust, lived experience forming an interpretive lens for prenatal care, and views of COVID-19 vaccines as a moral obligation or source of hope for the broader community. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that vaccine hesitancy in pregnant people extends beyond an informational problem into a deeper deficiency of trust. These insights allow for the implementation of public health policies which target these ideological conflicts to better improve vaccine acceptance.

description: We estimate the strong coupling constant from the perturbative expansion of the plaquette. The scale is set by the 2S-1S and 1P-1S splittings in bottomonium which are computed in NRQCD on dynamical gauge configurations with nf=2 degenerate Wilson quarks at intermediate masses. We have increased the statistics of our spectrum calculation in order to reliably extrapolate in the sea-quark mass. We find a value of alpha_MS(m_Z) = 0.1118(26) which is somewhat lower than previous estimates within NRQCD.

description: In this paper, computational intelligence methods such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) were used to model the effective parameters on retention behaviour of short-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids (C1-C6) and predict their retention time. For this purpose, seven factors, in three different categories, have been considered as input parameters in modeling and prediction of retention time: (i) operational parameters (temperature, H2SO4 normality as a mobile phase concentration, and flow rate); (ii) column characteristic properties (length of column, width of column, column’s particle size as the size of stationary phase); and (iii) acid type (number of carbon atoms in the analyte acid). Experimental data of available literatures were used as a data set to train and test Computational Intelligence (CI) methods. After developing the models, prediction ability of the models was checked with additional 18 data sets. The obtained results of the models showed that the proposed models are very precise, efficient and useful for fast and accurate prediction of the retention time for aliphatic carboxylic acids. Comparison of the two approaches indicated that both methods provide good results. Root mean square error of 0.0255 and 0.004, sum of square error of 0.148 and 0.001, and correlation factor of 0.978 and 0.998 for ANN and ANFIS, respectively, demonstrated that the proposed ANFIS model is more accurate in compared to the ANN model.

description: Levosimendan (LEV) is an inodilator, mainly used for the short-term treatment of acutely decompensated congestive heart failure. Accelerated stability studies of LEV bulk drug were performed as per ICH Q1A(R2) guideline and two unknown degradation impurities were found at a level of 0.05–0.15% by the HPLC analysis. These impurities were synthesized in a larger quantity and isolated from the crude sample of LEV using preparative chromatography, to assess their nature. Based upon LC/MSn, the structure of the impurities were proposed as (2Z)-2-cyano-2-(2-{4-[(4S)-4-methyl-6-oxo-1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyridazin-3-yl] phenyl} hydrazinylidene) ethanamide (DP1) and (5S)-5-methyl-6-phenyl-4,5-dihyropyridazin-3(2H)-one (DP2). Various spectrometric and spectrophotometric methods including LC/MSn, NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, HMBC, and HSQC) and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure of each impurity. The origin of the impurity was also postulated by proposing the plausible mechanism of formation.

description: We study an extended Gross-Neveu model with $N_f$ quark flavors and with an additional SU(2) (global color) degree of freedom of the quarks. The four fermion interaction in the color channel is mediated by a random color matrix with fixed strength. The effective potential for the quark condensate and the scalar correlation function is investigated in the large $N_f$-limit. Quark anti-quark thresholds are absent in the scalar correlation function implying that the decay of the scalar meson in free quarks is avoided. The transition from the low energy to the high energy perturbative regime is found to be smooth. Perturbation theory provides a good description of Green's functions at high energies, although there is no quark liberation.

description: The single phase polycrystalline Ba1/4Sr3/4MnO3 layered perovskite manganite has been synthesized by combustion method having various crystallite sizes. The room temperature X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that Ba1/4Sr3/4MnO3 crystallizes into hexagonal crystal structure with space group P63/mmc as confirmed by Rietveld refinement. The scanning electron micrographs of Ba1/4Sr3/4MnO3 reveal uniform crystallite size of the samples. Effect of crystallite size on lattice strain and crystal structure has been studied using Rietveld refinement and Williamson-Hall plot, respectively. The structural lattice parameters decrease with increasing crystallite size. However, lattice strain increases with increasing crystallite-size.

description: Ophiocordyceps sinensis is a well-known entomogenous fungus with its fruiting bodies or cultural mycelium as food and herbal medicines in Asia. While metabolites which could responsible for its potent pharmaceutical effects has long remained to be elucidated. In this work, chemical investigation on the solid culture of O. sinensis strain LY34 led to the discovery of six digalactosyldiacylglycerols (DGDGS, 1–6) including one new. The structure of compound 1 was determined based on the comprehensive spectra analysis, including NMR, MSn, IR, and chemical derivatisation. Bioactivity studies showed a weak cytotoxicity of compounds 1–6 against 293 T cell and medium anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 1 and 2 on Raw 264.7 cell. The discovery of DGDGs in O. sinensis provides new insight into the pharmacologically active substances.

description: The quantum kinetics of photons is studied directly in real time by implementing the dynamical renormalization group. In contrast to conventional approach, the dynamical renormalization group method consistently includes off-shell (energy non-conserving) effects and accounts for time-dependent collisional kernel. To lowest order we find that in the relaxation time approximation the semihard photon distribution function relaxes with a power law.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Human communication, the essence of collective social phenomena ranging from small-scale organizations to worldwide online platforms, features intense reciprocal interactions between members in order to achieve stability, cohesion, and cooperation in social networks. While high levels of reciprocity are well known in aggregated communication data, temporal patterns of reciprocal information exchange have received far less attention. Here we propose measures of reciprocity based on the time ordering of interactions and explore them in data from multiple communication channels, including calls, messaging and social media. By separating each channel into reciprocal and non-reciprocal temporal networks, we find persistent trends that point to the distinct roles of one-on-one exchange versus information broadcast. We implement several null models of communication activity, which identify memory, a higher tendency to repeat interactions with past contacts, as a key source of reciprocity. When adding memory to a model of activity-driven, time-varying networks, we reproduce the levels of reciprocity seen in empirical data. Our work adds to the theoretical understanding of the emergence of reciprocity in human communication systems, hinting at the mechanisms behind the formation of norms in social exchange and large-scale cooperation.

description: Trends in indices based on daily temperature and precipitation are examined for two periods: 1948–2016 for all stations in Canada and 1900–2016 for stations in the south of Canada. These indices, a number of which reflect extreme events, are considered to be impact relevant. The results show changes consistent with warming, with larger trends associated with cold temperatures. The number of summer days (when daily maximum temperature >25°C) has increased at most locations south of 65°N, and the number of hot days (daily maximum temperature >30°C) and hot nights (daily minimum temperature >22°C) have increased at a few stations in the most southerly regions. Very warm temperatures in both summer and winter (represented by the 95th percentile of their daily maximum and minimum temperatures, respectively) have increased across the country, with stronger trends in winter. Warming is more pronounced for cold temperatures. The frost-free season has become longer with fewer frost days, consecutive frost days, and ice days. Very cold temperatures in both winter and summer (represented by the 5th percentile of their daily maximum and minimum temperatures, respectively) have increased substantially across the country, again with stronger trends in the winter. Changes in other temperature indices are consistent with warming. The growing season is now longer, and the number of growing degree-days has increased. The number of heating degree-days has decreased across the country, while the number of cooling degree-days has increased at many stations south of 55°N. The frequency of annual and spring freeze–thaw days shows an increase in the interior provinces and a decrease in the remainder of the country. Changes in precipitation indices are less spatially coherent. An increase in the number of days with rainfall and heavy rainfall is found at several locations in the south. A decrease in the number of days with snowfall and heavy snowfall is observed in the western provinces, while an increase is found in the north. There is no evidence of significant changes in the annual highest 1-day rainfall and 1-day snowfall. The maximum number of consecutive dry days has decreased, mainly in the south.

description: We propose a power and data transfer network on a conductive fabric material based on an existing serial communication protocol, Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C). We call the proposed network Inter-IC for Wearables (I2We). Continuous dc power and I2C-formatted data are simultaneously transferred to tiny sensor nodes distributed on a double-sided conductive textile. The textile has two conductive sides isolated from each other and is used as a single planar transmission line. I2C data are transferred along with dc power supply based on frequency division multiplexing (FDM). Two carriers are modulated with the clock (SCL) and the data (SDA) signals of I2C. A modulation and demodulation circuit is designed to enable using off-the-shelf I2C-interfaced sensor ICs. One significant originality of this work is that a special filter to enable passive modulation is designed by locating its impedance poles and zeros at appropriate frequencies. The proposed scheme enables flexible implementation of wearable sensor systems in which multiple off-the-shelf tiny sensors are distributed all over a wear.

description: Flutamide (FLU) loaded onto functionalized magnetite iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared and characterized with scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy techniques. In addition, the effects of parameters of pH, temperature, contact time, and concentration on the adsorption capacity of nanoparticles were evaluated and optimized. The adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and the relevant parameters were inferred. Findings of the study suggested that N-vinylcaprolactam-allylimidazole copolymer coated MNPs are promising carrier for FLU delivery. The solid phase extraction technique was investigated for biological samples. Urine extraction recovery obtained about 91%.

description: We are interested in the feedback stabilization of systems described by Hamilton-Jacobi type equations in $\mathbb{R}^n$. A reformulation leads to a a stabilization problem for a multi-dimensional system of $n$ hyperbolic partial differential equations. Using a novel Lyapunov function taking into account the multi-dimensional geometry we show stabilization in $L^2$ for the arising system using a suitable feedback control. We further present examples of such systems partially based on a forming process.

description: Understanding the flow of yield stress fluids in porous media is a major challenge. In particular, experiments and extensive numerical simulations report a non-linear Darcy law as a function of the pressure gradient. In this letter, we consider a tree-like porous structure for which the problem of the flow can be resolved exactly thanks to a mapping with the directed polymer (DP) with disordered bond energies on the Cayley tree. Our results confirm the non-linear behavior of the flow and expresses its full pressure-dependence via the density of low-energy paths of DP restricted to vanishing overlap. These universal predictions are confirmed by extensive numerical simulations.

Cache side-channel attacks on language runtimes

description: Cache side-channel attacks are a class of attacks where an attacker co-located with a victim application on a server infers the victim’s secrets from observations of the victim’s usage of shared caches. Conventionally, cache side-channel attacks have been used to leak sensitive information from applications written in statically typed languages (e.g., C) and compiled into binary. However, cache side-channel vulnerabilities in applications using language runtimes have received less attention. Language runtimes introduce several barriers to performing cache side-channel attacks. First, with language runtimes, the application code is converted into a bytecode sequence, which is then interpreted as a sequence of machine instructions during execution. The attacker therefore needs to identify the cache lines that uniquely map to the sequence of machine instructions corresponding to specific bytecode operations in the victim’s logic. Second, the control flow in runtime interpretation logic might influence the state of the cache, which is shared between the attacker, the victim application, and the runtime. Consequently, the runtime induces noise in the cache measurements that prevents the attacker from accurately inferring the victim’s execution logic. We address the above challenges and demonstrate that cache side-channel attacks can be exploited on applications executed with language runtimes. We present two well-known types of cache side-channel attacks, namely Prime+Scope and Flush+Reload, on a JavaScript implementation of RSA that is run on QuickJS. We show that even if the RSA source code is hardened to have secret-independent execution time, an attacker can derive the secret key via cache side-channel observations on RSA’s bytecode interpretation with 99% accuracy after only 32 runs of the RSA.

description: Instantons are the natural mechanism in non-perturbative QCD to remove helicity from valence quarks and transfer it to gluons and quark-antiquark pairs. To understand the extent to which instantons explain the so-called "spin crisis" in the nucleon, we calculate moments of spin-dependent structure functions in quenched QCD and compare them with the results obtained with cooled configurations from which essentially all gluon contributions except instantons have been removed. Preliminary results are presented.

description: We consider a real, massive scalar field both on the $n$-dimensional anti--de Sitter (AdS$_n$) spacetime and on its universal cover CAdS$_n$. In the second scenario, we extend the recent analysis on PAdS$_n$, the Poincaré patch of AdS$_n$, first determining all admissible boundary conditions of Robin type that can be applied on the conformal boundary. Most notably, contrary to what happens on PAdS$_n$, no bound state mode solution occurs. Subsequently, we address the problem of constructing the two-point function for the ground state satisfying the admissible boundary conditions. All these states are locally of Hadamard form being obtained via a mode expansion which encompasses only the positive frequencies associated to the global timelike Killing field on CAdS$_n$. To conclude we investigate under which conditions any of the two-point correlation functions constructed on the universal cover defines a counterpart on AdS$_n$, still of Hadamard form. Since this spacetime is periodic in time, it turns out that this is possible only for Dirichlet boundary conditions, though for a countable set of masses of the underlying field, or for Neumann boundary conditions, though only for even dimensions and for one given value of the mass.

On the difficulty of launching an outflow from an accretion disk

description: We solve for the local vertical structure of a thin accretion disk threaded by a poloidal magnetic field. The angular velocity deviates from the Keplerian value as a result of the radial Lorentz force, but is constant on magnetic surfaces. Angular momentum transport and energy dissipation in the disk are parametrized by an alpha-prescription, and a Kramers opacity law is assumed to hold. We also determine the stability of the equilibria with respect to the magnetorotational (or Balbus-Hawley) instability. If the magnetic field is sufficiently strong, stable equilibria can be found in which the angle of inclination, i, of the magnetic field to the vertical at the surface of the disk has any value in the range [0,90 degrees). By analyzing the dynamics of a transonic outflow in the corona of the disk, we show that a certain potential difference must be overcome even when i > 30 degrees. We determine this potential difference as a function of i for increasing values of the vertical magnetic field strength. For magnetorotationally stable equilibria, the potential difference increases faster than the fourth power of the magnetic field strength, quickly exceeding a value corresponding to the central temperature of the disk, and is minimized with respect to i at i approximately equal to 38 degrees. We show that this property is relatively insensitive to the form of the opacity law. Our results suggest that an additional source of energy, such as coronal heating, may be required for the launching of an outflow from a magnetized disk.

description: Criticality has been proposed as a mechanism for the emergence of complexity, life, and computation, as it exhibits a balance between robustness and adaptability. In classic models of complex systems where structure and dynamics are considered homogeneous, criticality is restricted to phase transitions, leading either to robust (ordered) or adaptive (chaotic) phases in most of the parameter space. Many real-world complex systems, however, are not homogeneous. Some elements change in time faster than others, with slower elements (usually the most relevant) providing robustness, and faster ones being adaptive. Structural patterns of connectivity are also typically heterogeneous, characterized by few elements with many interactions and most elements with only a few. Here we take a few traditionally homogeneous dynamical models and explore their heterogeneous versions, finding evidence that heterogeneity extends criticality. Thus, parameter fine-tuning is not necessary to reach a phase transition and obtain the benefits of (homogeneous) criticality. Simply adding heterogeneity can extend criticality, making the search/evolution of complex systems faster and more reliable. Our results add theoretical support for the ubiquitous presence of heterogeneity in physical, social, and technological systems, as natural selection can exploit heterogeneity to evolve complexity "for free". In artificial systems and biological design, heterogeneity may also be used to extend the parameter range that allows for criticality.

description: Relapse is the leading cause of death from myeloid malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Azacitidine has gained attention in recent years in the prophylaxis of relapsed refractory hematologic malignancies. This study evaluated the efficacy of AZA in preventing relapse after HSCT in patients with myeloid malignancies. A systematic review and meta-analysis of all available cohort studies were performed regarding the application of AZA for prophylaxis of relapse after HSCT for advanced MDS and AML. Databases were searched for relevant studies. Endpoints included 2-year relapse rate, survival, relapse-related mortality, as well as the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). A total of 444 patients from 13 studies were included in this analysis. The pooled estimate of the cumulative incidence of relapse after two years in enrolled patients was 25% (95% confidence interval [CI], 18%-33%). The pooled estimates of 2-year survival probabilities were 65% (95% CI, 50%-79%). The pooled cumulative incidence of relapse-related mortality was 28% (95% CI, 22%-34%). The pooled estimated incidence of acute and chronic GVHD, respectively, were 28% (95% CI, 22%-34%) and 38% (95% CI, 27%-49%). AZA administration is efficacious for relapse prevention after HSCT in myeloid malignancies.

description: We introduce a method called the Expansion mechanism that processes the input unconstrained by the number of elements in the sequence. By doing so, the model can learn more effectively compared to traditional attention-based approaches. To support this claim, we design a novel architecture ExpansionNet v2 that achieved strong results on the MS COCO 2014 Image Captioning challenge and the State of the Art in its respective category, with a score of 143.7 CIDErD in the offline test split, 140.8 CIDErD in the online evaluation server and 72.9 AllCIDEr on the nocaps validation set. Additionally, we introduce an End to End training algorithm up to 2.8 times faster than established alternatives. Source code available at: https://github.com/jchenghu/ExpansionNet_v2

description: QCD corrections to $e^+e^- \ra WW \ra q_1 \bar q_1 q_2 \bar q_2$ are computed and presented in a form which allows to impose realistic cuts on the structure of the observed events. QCD radiation substantially modifies the jet--jet invariant mass distributions from which the value of the $W$ mass will be extracted. When the range of allowed jet--jet masses is restricted, as it has been proposed in order to suppress non--$WW$ backgrounds, the total cross section is also deeply affected. If all events are forced to four jets, combining the two partons with smallest invariant mass, and the reconstructed masses are required to satisfy $ \left| M_{Ri} -M_W \right| \le 10$ GeV $i$=1,2 the lowest order cross section can be reduced by more than 40\%.
