description: Dragonfly interconnect is a crucial network technology for supercomputers. To support exascale systems, network resources are shared such that links and routers are not dedicated to any node pair. While link utilization is increased, workload performance is often offset by network contention. Recently, intelligent routing built on reinforcement learning demonstrates higher network throughput with lower packet latency. However, its effectiveness in reducing workload interference is unknown. In this work, we present extensive network simulations to study multi-workload contention under different routing mechanisms, intelligent routing and adaptive routing, on a large-scale Dragonfly system. We develop an enhanced network simulation toolkit, along with a suite of workloads with distinctive communication patterns. We also present two metrics to characterize application communication intensity. Our analysis focuses on examining how different workloads interfere with each other under different routing mechanisms by inspecting both application-level and network-level metrics. Several key insights are made from the analysis.

description: Emerging workloads in high-performance computing (HPC) are embracing significant changes, such as having diverse resource requirements instead of being CPU-centric. This advancement forces cluster schedulers to consider multiple schedulable resources during decision-making. Existing scheduling studies rely on heuristic or optimization methods, which are limited by an inability to adapt to new scenarios for ensuring long-term scheduling performance. We present an intelligent scheduling agent named MRSch for multi-resource scheduling in HPC that leverages direct future prediction (DFP), an advanced multi-objective reinforcement learning algorithm. While DFP demonstrated outstanding performance in a gaming competition, it has not been previously explored in the context of HPC scheduling. Several key techniques are developed in this study to tackle the challenges involved in multi-resource scheduling. These techniques enable MRSch to learn an appropriate scheduling policy automatically and dynamically adapt its policy in response to workload changes via dynamic resource prioritizing. We compare MRSch with existing scheduling methods through extensive tracebase simulations. Our results demonstrate that MRSch improves scheduling performance by up to 48% compared to the existing scheduling methods.

Search for Higgs boson pair production in the $WW^{(*)}WW^{(*)}$ decay channel using ATLAS data recorded at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV

description: A search for a pair of neutral, scalar bosons with each decaying into two $W$ bosons is presented using 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This search uses three production models: non-resonant and resonant Higgs boson pair production and resonant production of a pair of heavy scalar particles. Three final states, classified by the number of leptons, are analysed: two same-sign leptons, three leptons, and four leptons. No significant excess over the expected Standard Model backgrounds is observed. An observed (expected) 95% confidence-level upper limit of 160 (120) times the Standard Model prediction of non-resonant Higgs pair production cross-section is set from a combined analysis of the three final states. Upper limits are set on the production cross-section times branching ratio of a heavy scalar $X$ decaying into a Higgs boson pair in the mass range of 260 GeV $\le m_X \le$ 500 GeV and the observed (expected) limits range from 9.3 (10) pb to 2.8 (2.6) pb. Upper limits are set on the production cross-section times branching ratio of a heavy scalar $X$ decaying into a pair of heavy scalars $S$ for mass ranges of 280 GeV $\le m_X \le$ 340 GeV and 135 GeV $\le m_S \le$ 165 GeV and the observed (expected) limits range from 2.5 (2.5) pb to 0.16 (0.17) pb.

description: High-radix interconnects such as Dragonfly and its variants rely on adaptive routing to balance network traffic for optimum performance. Ideally, adaptive routing attempts to forward packets between minimal and non-minimal paths with the least congestion. In practice, current adaptive routing algorithms estimate routing path congestion based on local information such as output queue occupancy. Using local information to estimate global path congestion is inevitably inaccurate because a router has no precise knowledge of link states a few hops away. This inaccuracy could lead to interconnect congestion. In this study, we present Q-adaptive routing, a multi-agent reinforcement learning routing scheme for Dragonfly systems. Q-adaptive routing enables routers to learn to route autonomously by leveraging advanced reinforcement learning technology. The proposed Q-adaptive routing is highly scalable thanks to its fully distributed nature without using any shared information between routers. Furthermore, a new two-level Q-table is designed for Q-adaptive to make it computational lightly and saves 50% of router memory usage compared with the previous Q-routing. We implement the proposed Q-adaptive routing in SST/Merlin simulator. Our evaluation results show that Q-adaptive routing achieves up to 10.5% system throughput improvement and 5.2x average packet latency reduction compared with adaptive routing algorithms. Remarkably, Q-adaptive can even outperform the optimal VALn non-minimal routing under the ADV+1 adversarial traffic pattern with up to 3% system throughput improvement and 75% average packet latency reduction.

Chiral $p-$wave superconductivity in Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Te: signatures from bound-state spectra and wavefunctions

description: Surface superconductivity has recently been observed on the (001) surface of the topological crystalline insulator Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Te using point-contact spectroscopy, and theoretically proposed to be of the chiral $p-$wave type. In this paper, we closely examine the conditions for realizing a robust chiral $p-$wave order in this system, rather than conventional $s$-wave superconductivity. Further, within the $p$-wave superconducting phase, we identify parameter regimes where impurity bound (Shiba) states depend crucially on the existence of the chiral $p-$wave order, and distinguish them from other regimes where the chiral $p-$wave order does exist but the impurity-induced subgap bound states cannot be used as evidence for it. Such a distinction can provide an easily realizable experimental test for chiral $p-$wave order in this system. Notably, we have obtained exact analytical expressions for the bound state wavefunctions in point defects, in the chiral $p-$wave superconducting state, and find that instead of the usual $exponential$ decay profile that characterizes bound states, these states decay as a $power-law$ at large distances from the defect. As a possible application of our findings, we also show that the zero-energy Shiba states in point defects possess an internal SU(2) rotational symmetry which enables them to be useful as quantum qubits.

description: With the rapid growth of the machine learning applications, the workloads of future HPC systems are anticipated to be a mix of scientific simulation, big data analytics, and machine learning applications. Simulation is a great research vehicle to understand the performance implications of co-running scientific applications with big data and machine learning workloads on large-scale systems. In this paper, we present Union, a workload manager that provides an automatic framework to facilitate hybrid workload simulation in CODES. Furthermore, we use Union, along with CODES, to investigate various hybrid workloads composed of traditional simulation applications and emerging learning applications on two dragonfly systems. The experiment results show that both message latency and communication time are important performance metrics to evaluate network interference. Network interference on HPC applications is more reflected by the message latency variation, whereas ML application performance depends more on the communication time.

description: Patterns of participation in sport are changing and this is being recognised internationally and within Australia. 'Informal’ sports and physical activities are increasingly displacing organised sport in terms of popularity in many people’s lives. Health and Physical Education (HPE) can learn from informal sport in order to effectively support sustained participation in physical activity that is relevant to young people’s involvement now and in the future. These question prompts for teachers can be used to begin to unpack considerations associated with informal sport and physical activity participation. With a focus on environmental, task, personal and social factors that influence engagement in various forms of informal sport and physical activity, the questions can be used to build understandings about elements that potentially influence lifelong and lifewide participation.

 Brevitibius: Attems 1950: 249, fig. 93; Demange 1970: 394; Krabbe 1982: 131; Hamer 1999: 10.
 Type species: Spirostreptus angolanus Attems, 1934, by original designation.
 Diagnosis: Ozopores from the 6 th segment onwards. Prozonites with punctures, metazonites with distinct striae below ozopores. Limbus smooth. Sternites striated. Legs with much reduced pads (Fig. 40), hypoproct surface porous; with fold(s) and rows of punctures on collum. Gonopod aperture open distally, segments not fused ventrally (Fig. 41).
 Gonopod telopodite with tibial process originating distad of femoral knee (Figs 38, 39, 46, tp), its tip covered in fold of tibiotarsus, which is wrinkled at the outer side; tip of solenomere acute, with two small folds before end of seminal duct; lateral lamella with lateral conus (Figs 44, 45, lc).
 Remarks: Brevitibius is a small genus, containing only two species: B. angolanus (Attems, 1934) and B. obtusus Kraus, 1958, both known from Angola. Krabbe (1982) described a species from Tanzania, which she tentatively placed in this genus as Brevitibius (?) bulbiferans.
 Attems (1950) erected the genus based on the abruptly shortened tibial part of the telopodite, the anteriorly directed gonocoel and the large lateral conus (which is missing in B. obtusus).

description: A camel can carry one banana at a time on its back. It is on a diet and therefore can only have one banana at a time in its stomach. As soon as it has eaten a banana it walks a mile and then it needs a new banana (in order to be able to continue its itinerary). Let there be a stock of N bananas at the border of the desert. How far can the camel penetrate into the desert, starting at this point? (Of course it can form new stocks with transported bananas.)

description: Purpose: To determine the effects of sit-to-stand exercise programs on patient-related outcomes in people with physical impairments due to health conditions. Methods: This review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and was registered prospectively. Seven electronic databases were systematically searched for relevant articles. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to screen the titles and abstracts of articles identified using the key search terms of sit-to-stand and exercise. Only randomized controlled trials were included. The methodological quality of papers was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results: A total of eight trials were included. A meta-analysis was conducted using four of the trials that focused on patients with neurological conditions. There was moderate-quality evidence that sit-to-stand exercise programs improve sit-to-stand performance, but no evidence from another meta-analysis that sit-to-stand training improved balance for patients with neurological conditions. There was also no evidence from individual trials that positive changes occurred in the outcomes of gait speed and distance, lower limb muscle strength, falls, or participation. Conclusions: Sit-to-stand training could be a useful intervention when patients have limited sit-to-stand function and the aim of treatment is to improve this performance.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONSit-to-stand training could be a useful intervention for patients when the aim is to improve sit-to-stand performance.Sit-to-stand training may not be a useful intervention when the aim is to improve other functions such as balance.

description: Quantum phase transitions occur at zero temperature when some non-thermal control-parameter like pressure or chemical composition is changed. They are driven by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations. In this review we first give a pedagogical introduction to quantum phase transitions and quantum critical behavior emphasizing similarities with and differences to classical thermal phase transitions. We then illustrate the general concepts by discussing a few examples of quantum phase transitions occurring in electronic systems. The ferromagnetic transition of itinerant electrons shows a very rich behavior since the magnetization couples to additional electronic soft modes which generates an effective long-range interaction between the spin fluctuations. We then consider the influence of rare regions on quantum phase transitions in systems with quenched disorder, taking the antiferromagnetic transitions of itinerant electrons as a primary example. Finally we discuss some aspects of the metal-insulator transition in the presence of quenched disorder and interactions.

We find that in these limits retro-reflectivity, which is a fundamental feature of Andreev reflection, is broken modifying sensitively transport across S/N interfaces. We discuss the consequences for supercurrents in HTS Josephson junctions and for the midgap states in S-N contacts

 Doratogonus: Attems 1914 a: 109; 1928: 339; 1934 b: 483; Schubart 1966: 90; Demange 1970: 401; Hoffman 1987: 13; Hamer 1998: 47; 1999: 10; 2000: 2; Hamer & Slotow 2000: 295.
 Type species: Spirostreptus setosus Voges, 1878.
Diagnosis: Mandible with 10–12 pectinate lamellae. Collum projects anteriorly (Fig. 49). Lateral lamella of telocoxite with a small spine-like projection on lateral edge, median lamella typically setose and extended distally as a slender, spinous projection (Fig. 47). Telopodite with long, slender shaft, curved proximally, with long, strongly curved femoral process, and with torsion of main branch of telopodite at position of origin of femoral process, distal to which main branch is looped (Figs 47, 48). Solenomere distally forked or apically bifid (Fig. 47).
 Remarks: Attems (1914) erected Doratogonus as a new genus, but its differentiation from Alloporus Porat, 1876, remained unclear. The two genera were separated only by the position of the first ozopore. Krabbe (1982) combined the generic concepts under Alloporus, but Hoffman (1987) revived the name Doratogonus for medium- to largesized spirostreptids which differ from Alloporus in having more pectinate lamellae on their mandibles and more numerous small setae on the distal half of the stipes. The genus Alloporus was placed on the list of genera incertae sedis. Hoffman (1987) considered Doratogonus to be heterogeneous and provided a diagnosis, which he believed was too inclusive (Hamer 2000).

description: While deep neural networks exhibit state-of-the-art results in the task of image super-resolution (SR) with a fixed known acquisition process (e.g., a bicubic downscaling kernel), they experience a huge performance loss when the real observation model mismatches the one used in training. Recently, two different techniques suggested to mitigate this deficiency, i.e., enjoy the advantages of deep learning without being restricted by the training phase. The first one follows the plug-and-play (P&P) approach that solves general inverse problems (e.g., SR) by using Gaussian denoisers for handling the prior term in model-based optimization schemes. The second builds on internal recurrence of information inside a single image, and trains a super-resolver network at test time on examples synthesized from the low-resolution image. Our work incorporates these two independent strategies, enjoying the impressive generalization capabilities of deep learning, captured by the first, and further improving it through internal learning at test time. First, we apply a recent P&P strategy to SR. Then, we show how it may become image-adaptive in test time. This technique outperforms the above two strategies on popular datasets and gives better results than other state-of-the-art methods in practical cases where the observation model is inexact or unknown in advance.

description: This paper studies a mean field game inspired by crowd motion in which agents evolve in a compact domain and want to reach its boundary minimizing the sum of their travel time and a given boundary cost. Interactions between agents occur through their dynamic, which depends on the distribution of all agents. We start by considering the associated optimal control problem, showing that semi-concavity in space of the corresponding value function can be obtained by requiring as time regularity only a lower Lipschitz bound on the dynamics. We also prove differentiability of the value function along optimal trajectories under extra regularity assumptions. We then provide a Lagrangian formulation for our mean field game and use classical techniques to prove existence of equilibria, which are shown to satisfy a MFG system. Our main result, which relies on the semi-concavity of the value function, states that an absolutely continuous initial distribution of agents with an $L^p$ density gives rise to an absolutely continuous distribution of agents at all positive times with a uniform bound on its $L^p$ norm. This is also used to prove existence of equilibria under fewer regularity assumptions on the dynamics thanks to a limit argument.

description: AbstractHuman contact with soil may be important for building and maintaining normal healthy immune defence mechanisms, however this idea remains untested at the population-level. In this continent-wide, cross-sectional study we examine the possible public health benefit of ambient exposures to soil of high cation exchange capacity (CEC), a surrogate for potential immunomodulatory soil microbial diversity. We compare distributions of normalized mean 2011/12–2012/13 age-standardized public hospital admission rates (cumulative incidence) for infectious and parasitic diseases across regional Australia (representing an average of 29,516 patients/year in 228 local government areas), within tertiles of socioeconomic statusand soil exposure. To test the significance of soil CEC, we use probabilistic individual-level environmental exposure data (with or without soil), and group-level variables, in robust non-parametric multilevel modelling to predict disease rates in unseen groups. Our results show that in socioeconomically-deprived areas with high CEC soils, rates of infectious and parasitic disease are significantly lower than areas with low CEC soils. Also, health inequality (relative risk) due to socioeconomic status is significantly lower in areas with high CEC soils compared to low CEC soils (Δ relative risk = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.13, 0.82). Including soil exposure when modelling rates of infectious and parasitic disease significantly improves prediction performance, explaining an additional 7.5% (Δ r2 = 0.075; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.10) of variation in disease risk, in local government areas that were not used for model building. Our findings suggest that exposure to high CEC soils (typically high soil biodiversity) associates with reduced risk of infectious and parasitic diseases, particularly in lower socioeconomic areas.Science of the Total Environment.

description: We describe the implementation of kinetic solvers in 1d2v phase space using adaptive Cartesian mesh. Spherical coordinates in velocity space are used to simplify the Lorentz and Fokker-Planck collisional operators. The key capabilities of the new solvers are illustrated for electron elastic scattering, acceleration, continuous energy loss in collisions, and ionization processes in weakly-ionized plasma. We have also implemented two-stream approach to reduce computational cost for studies of gas breakdown dynamics in the presence of runaway electrons. The benefits and limitations of the non-split-phase-space method for kinetic solvers with adaptive mesh in phase space are discussed.

description: Scientists often try to incorporate prior knowledge into their regression algorithms, such as a particular analytic behavior or a known value at a kinematic endpoint. Unfortunately, there is often no unique way to make use of this prior knowledge, and thus, different analytic choices can lead to very different regression results from the same set of data. To illustrate this point in the context of the proton electromagnetic form factors, we use the Mainz elastic data with its 1422 cross section points and 31 normalization parameters. Starting with a complex unbound non-linear regression, we will show how the addition of a single theory-motivated constraint removes an oscillation from the magnetic form factor and shifts the extracted proton charge radius. We then repeat both regressions using the same algorithm, but with a rebinned version of the Mainz dataset. These examples illustrate how analytic choices, such as the function that is being used or even the binning of the data, can dramatically affect the results of a complex regression. These results also demonstrate why it is critical when using regression algorithms to have either a physical model in mind or a firm mathematical basis

description: Citation networks of scientific publications offer fundamental insights into the structure and development of scientific knowledge. We propose a new measure, called intermediacy, for tracing the historical development of scientific knowledge. Given two publications, an older and a more recent one, intermediacy identifies publications that seem to play a major role in the historical development from the older to the more recent publication. The identified publications are important in connecting the older and the more recent publication in the citation network. After providing a formal definition of intermediacy, we study its mathematical properties. We then present two empirical case studies, one tracing historical developments at the interface between the community detection literature and the scientometric literature and one examining the development of the literature on peer review. We show both conceptually and empirically how intermediacy differs from main path analysis, which is the most popular approach for tracing historical developments in citation networks. Main path analysis tends to favor longer paths over shorter ones, whereas intermediacy has the opposite tendency. Compared to main path analysis, we conclude that intermediacy offers a more principled approach for tracing the historical development of scientific knowledge.

description: The `extended Aharonov-Bohm (AB) period' recently proposed by Kusakabe and Aoki [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn (65), 2772 (1996)] is extensively studied numerically for finite size systems of strongly correlated electrons. While the extended AB period is the system length times the flux quantum for noninteracting systems, we have found the existence of the boundary across which the period is halved or another boundary into an even shorter period on the phase diagram for these models. If we compare this result with the phase diagram predicted from the Tomonaga-Luttinger theory, devised for low-energy physics, the halved period (or shorter periods) has a one-to-one correspondence to the existence of the pairing (phase separation or metal-insulator transition) in these models. We have also found for the t-J model that the extended AB period does not change across the integrable-nonintegrable boundary despite the totally different level statistics.

description: In microservice applications, ensuring resilience during database or service disruptions constitutes a significant challenge. While several tools address resilience testing for service failures, there is a notable gap in tools specifically designed for resilience testing of database failures. To bridge this gap, we have developed an extension for fault injection in database clients, which we integrated into Filibuster, an existing tool for fault injection in services within microservice applications. Our tool systematically simulates database disruptions, thereby enabling comprehensive testing and evaluation of application resilience. It is versatile, supporting a range of both SQL and NoSQL database systems, such as Redis, Apache Cassandra, CockroachDB, PostgreSQL, and DynamoDB. A defining feature is its integration during the development phase, complemented by an IntelliJ IDE plugin, which offers developers visual feedback on the types, locations, and impacts of injected faults. A video demonstration of the tool's capabilities is accessible at https://youtu.be/bvaUVCy1m1s.
Improved Determination of alpha_QED(M_Z^2) and the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Muon

description: We reevaluate the hadronic contribution to the running of the QED fine structure constant alpha(s) at s = M_Z^2. We use data from e+e- annihilation and tau decays at low energy and at the qq-bar thresholds, where resonances occur. Using so-called spectral moments and the Operator Product Expansion (OPE), it is shown that a reliable theoretical prediction of the hadronic production rate R(s) is available at relatively low energies. Its application improves significantly the precision on the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution. We obtain delta_alpha^had = (277.8 +/- 2.6) x 10^-4 yielding alpha^-1(M_Z^2) = 128.923 +/- 0.036$. Inserting this value in a global electroweak fit using current experimental input, we constrain the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson to be M_Higgs = (129 +103 -62) GeV. Analogously, we improve the precision of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon for which we obtain a_mu^had = (695.1 +/- 7.5) x 10^-10.

Reducing emergency department visits in primary care patients: a retrospective chart review with follow-up recommendations
Creators: name: Lampert, Hadassah S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Purpose: Many individuals are using emergency departments for nonurgent and primary-care needs. This leads to ED overcrowding and potential delays in care for critically ill patients. Providers in the primary care setting can impact this decision through proper counseling on the appropriate use of emergency services, as well as the importance of primary care and preventive health. Effective counseling conducted by primary care providers can lead to an increase in primary care use, with a decrease in unnecessary ED visits resulting in better use of resources and improved health outcomes. Methodology: A purposeful sample of patient charts from a nurse practitioner led FQHC in central New Jersey that were identified to have used the ED were reviewed. Trends in demographics were looked at as well as the reason for the visits; urgent versus nonurgent. Results: This review revealed that most of the visits were nonurgent regardless of whether the visit was during clinic hours or after hours. There were only three charts where providers mentioned the ED visits and no charts had a billing code for counseling. The results were not statistically significant likely due to a small sample size. Implications for Practice: Developing a streamlined workflow to counsel patients on proper use of the ED can have a great impact on their overall health. If providers counsel properly, patients will be more likely to contact their PCP before making the decision to visit the ED.
