description: Introduction: Since the early 2010s, neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by esophagectomy (trimodal therapy) has been a recommended treatment for patients diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal cancer. However, it may also add treatment-related toxicity, particularly for older adults with significant comorbidity and frailty burdens. We examined contemporary patterns of care in older adults, which have not been well characterized. Materials and Methods: We used the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare database to identify a cohort of US adults aged 66 years and older diagnosed with incident locally advanced esophageal cancer between 2004 and 2017. Calendar year age-standardized percentages of treatment receipt were calculated. Joinpoint regression was used to detect temporal trends in treatment receipt. Descriptive associations between patient factors and treatment were assessed. Trend analyses quantified how the percentage of trimodal and definitive chemoradiation (no surgery) patients receiving cisplatin-based, carboplatin-based, and other chemotherapy regimens evolved over time. Results: In total, 4332 adults aged ≥66 years with locally advanced esophageal cancer were included. The age-standardized percentage of patients receiving trimodal therapy increased from 16.7% in 2004 to 26.1% in 2017 (annual percent change = 3.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.7%–6.4%) in adenocarcinomas and from 7.3% in 2004 to 9.1% in 2017 (annual percent change = 0.4%; 95% CI, −4.1%–5.1%) in squamous cell carcinomas. By 2017, definitive chemoradiation became the most frequently used treatment modality for adenocarcinomas (49.8%; 95% CI, 43.5–56.0) and squamous cell carcinomas (59.5%; 95% CI, 50.8–68.2). Patients with higher comorbidity and frailty burdens were less likely to be treated with trimodal therapy. Amongst patients receiving chemoradiation as part of their treatment, a large and swift channeling away from cisplatin and towards carboplatin-based regimens was observed. Discussion: In practice, definitive chemoradiation is the most commonly received treatment by older adults with locally advanced esophageal cancer. Four out of five older adults do not receive trimodal therapy, some of whom are potentially undertreated.

description: Coordination of radars can be performed in various ways. To be more resilient radar networks can be coordinated in a decentralized way. In this paper, we introduce a highly resilient algorithm for radar coordination based on decentralized and collaborative bundle auctions. We first formalize our problem as a constrained optimization problem and apply a market-based algorithm to provide an approximate solution. Our approach allows to track simultaneously multiple targets, and to use up to two radars tracking the same target to improve accuracy. We show that our approach performs sensibly as well as a centralized approach relying on a MIP solver, and depending on the situations, may outperform it or be outperformed.

title: The visual language of kingship, 1640-1653
Creators: name: Wyn-Williams, Rhian
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: This thesis seeks to offer a re-evaluation of the nature of political culture in England during the years of civil war through the use of visual material. There exists a rich body of pictorial evidence and yet it is frequently overlooked completely or used very selectively to illustrate conclusions reached through close studies of other source material, particularly popular print. However, this thesis takes as its starting point the intensely visual nature of early modern political and popular culture and utilises material as wide-ranging as court portraiture, satirical woodcuts and objects such as coins and medallions. By focusing in particular on the visual language of idealised kingship which developed under Charles l, this thesis will question the existence of the bi-polar model of political participation so frequently depicted in the historiography of the period by demonstrating the conservative and consensual nature of much of the imagery. Therefore, this study explores the manner in which a broad and popular audience responded to the pictorial depiction of their king as divine and as the fulcrum of social order. This makes it necessary to consider the manner in which the imagery of idealised kingship was disseminated outside the court, therefore placing it within the context of an increasingly politicised populace. Through this, the extent to which models of conflict and consensus could co-exist will be demonstrated, leading to an evaluation of the intrinsically conservative self-identification of the parliamentarian cause and of popular allegiance, particularly through the polemical constructs of 'cavalier' and 'roundhead '. It will be suggested that propagandist images of kingship became embedded in political culture because they reflected broadly accepted norms of social behaviour. This proves to be essential in understanding the influence of and the extent to which Charles I became the personification of the body politic, ultimately enabling his aura of sanctity to deepen during the wars and after the regicide, whilst hindering the possibility of the Rump establishing its own distinctive imagery of political authority. By offering an alternative body of evidence, this thesis seeks to demonstrate that the visual language of king ship became the language of social normality and authority.

description: Taxonomy building is a task that requires interpreting and classifying data within a given frame of reference, which comes to play in many areas of application that deal with knowledge and information organization. In this paper, we explore how taxonomy building can be supported with systems that integrate machine learning (ML). However, relying only on black-boxed ML-based systems to automate taxonomy building would sideline the users' expertise. We propose an approach that allows the user to iteratively take into account multiple model's outputs as part of their sensemaking process. We implemented our approach in two real-world use cases. The work is positioned in the context of HCI research that investigates the design of ML-based systems with an emphasis on enabling human-AI collaboration.

description: In this paper, we study the fluctuation of linear eigenvalue statistics of Random Band Matrices defined by $M_{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{b_{n}}}W_{n}$, where $W_{n}$ is a $n\times n$ band Hermitian random matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$, i.e., the diagonal elements and only first $b_{n}$ off diagonal elements are nonzero. Also variances of the matrix elmements are upto a order of constant. We study the linear eigenvalue statistics $\mathcal{N}(ϕ)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}ϕ(λ_{i})$ of such matrices, where $λ_{i}$ are the eigenvalues of $M_{n}$ and $ϕ$ is a sufficiently smooth function. We prove that $\sqrt{\frac{b_{n}}{n}}[\mathcal{N}(ϕ)-\mathbb{E} \mathcal{N}(ϕ)]\stackrel{d}{\to} N(0,V(ϕ))$ for $b_{n}>>\sqrt{n}$, where $V(ϕ)$ is given in the Theorem 1.

description: Background:It is not definitively known if persons with HIV (PWH) are more likely to be SARS-CoV-2 tested or test positive than persons without HIV (PWoH). We describe SARS-CoV-2 testing and positivity in 6 large geographically and demographically diverse cohorts of PWH and PWoH in the United States.Setting:The Corona Infectious Virus Epidemiology Team comprises 5 clinical cohorts within a health system (Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Oakland, CA; Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic States, Rockville, MD; University of North Carolina Health, Chapel Hill, NC; Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN; and Veterans Aging Cohort Study) and 1 interval cohort (Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study/Women's Interagency HIV Study Combined Cohort Study).Methods:We calculated the proportion of patients SARS-CoV-2 tested and the test positivity proportion by HIV status from March 1 to December 31, 2020.Results:The cohorts ranged in size from 1675 to 31,304 PWH and 1430 to 3,742,604 PWoH. The proportion of PWH who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 (19.6%-40.5% across sites) was significantly higher than PWoH (14.8%-29.4%) in the clinical cohorts. However, among those tested, the proportion of patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 tests was comparable by HIV status; the difference in proportion of SARS-CoV-2 positivity ranged from 4.7% lower to 1.4% higher.Conclusions:Although PWH had higher testing proportions compared with PWoH, we did not find evidence of increased positivity in 6 large, diverse populations across the United States. Ongoing monitoring of testing, positivity, and COVID-19-related outcomes in PWH are needed, given availability, response, and durability of COVID-19 vaccines; emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants; and latest therapeutic options.

description: This paper presents a $q$-analogue of an extension of the tensor algebra given by the same author. This new algebra naturally contains the ordinary tensor algebra and the Iwahori-Hecke algebra type $A$ of infinite degree. Namely this algebra can be regarded as a natural mix of these two algebras. Moreover, we can consider natural "derivations" on this algebra. Using these derivations, we can easily prove the $q$-Schur-Weyl duality (the duality between the quantum enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra and the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type $A$).

description: Moore’s Law is running out. Instead of making powerful computer by increasing number of transistor now we are moving towardParallelism. Beowulf cluster means cluster of any Commodity hardware. Our Cluster works exactly similar to current day’ssupercomputers. The motivation is to create a small sized, cheap device on which students and researchers can get hands on experience.There is a master node, which interacts with user and all other nodes are slave nodes. Load is equally divided among all nodes and theysend their results to master. Master combines those results and show the final output to the user. For communication between nodes we havecreated a network over Ethernet. We are using MPI4py, which a Python based implantation of Message Passing Interface (MPI) andMPICH which also an open source implementation of MPI and allows us to code in C, C++ and Fortran. MPI is a standard for writing codesfor such clusters. We have written parallel programs of Monte Carlo’s Simulation for finding value of pi and prime number generator inPython and C++ making use of MPI4py and MPICH respectively. We have also written sequential programs applying same algorithms inPython. Then we compared the time it takes to run them on cluster in parallel and in sequential on a computer having 6500 core i7 Intelprocessor. It is found that making use of parallelism, we were able to outperform an expensive computer which costs much more than ourcluster.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Black holes are believed to be one of the key ingredients of galaxy formation models, but it has been notoriously challenging to simulate them due to the very complex physics and large dynamical range of spatial scales involved. Here we address a significant shortcoming of a Bondi-Hoyle-like prescription commonly invoked to estimate black hole accretion in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation, namely that the Bondi-Hoyle radius is frequently unresolved. We describe and implement a novel super-Lagrangian refinement scheme to increase, adaptively and 'on the fly', the mass and spatial resolution in targeted regions around the accreting black holes at limited computational cost. While our refinement scheme is generically applicable and flexible, for the purpose of this paper we select the smallest resolvable scales to match black holes' instantaneous Bondi radii, thus effectively resolving Bondi-Hoyle-like accretion in full galaxy formation simulations. This permits us to not only estimate gas properties close to the Bondi radius much more accurately, but also allows us to improve black hole accretion and feedback implementations. We thus devise a more generic feedback model where accretion and feedback depend on the geometry of the local gas distribution and where mass, energy and momentum loading are followed simultaneously. We present a series of tests of our refinement and feedback methods and apply them to models of isolated disc galaxies. Our simulations demonstrate that resolving gas properties in the vicinity of black holes is necessary to follow black hole accretion and feedback with a higher level of realism and that doing so allows us to incorporate important physical processes so far neglected in cosmological simulations.

Mean-field approach in the multi-component gas of interacting particles applied to relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Generalized mean-field approach for thermodynamic description of relativistic single- and multi-component gas in the grand canonical ensemble is formulated. In the framework of the proposed approach different phenomenological excluded-volume procedures are presented and compared to the existing ones. The mean-field approach is then used to effectively include hard-core repulsion in hadron-resonance gas model for description of chemical freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions. We calculate the collision energy dependence of several quantities for different values of hard-core hadron radius and for different excluded-volume procedures such as van der Waals and Carnahan-Starling models. It is shown that a choice of the excluded-volume model becomes important for large particle densities. For large enough values of hadron radii ($r\gtrsim0.9$ fm) there can be a sizable difference between different excluded-volume procedures used to describe the chemical freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions. At the same time, for the smaller and more commonly used values of hard-core hadron radii ($r\lesssim0.5$ fm), the precision of the van der Waals excluded-volume procedure is shown to be sufficient.

Επιπλέον, αναλύει τις δραστηριότητες με τις οποίες επιλέγουν να ασχοληθούν στον ελεύθερο τους χρόνο οι εργαζόμενοι και εξετάζει το πως αυτές επηρεάζουν την εξισορρόπηση εργασίας και προσωπικής ζωής . Για την εμπειρική διερεύνηση των ερευνητικών ερωτημάτων υιοθετήθηκε η ποσοτική μέθοδος και πιο συγκεκριμένα διενεργήθηκε διαδικτυακή έρευνα επισκόπησης απόψεων. Το τελικό δείγμα της έρευνας απαρτίζεται από 100 άτομα, άνδρες και γυναίκες που εργάζονται στον δημόσιο και τον ιδιωτικό τομέα. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν μεταξύ άλλων ότι οι ερωτώμενοι συνολικά εμφανίζουν μέτρια επίπεδα εξισορρόπησης εργασίας και οικογένειας και πως το επίπεδο αυτής της ισορροπίας σχετίζεται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από τον έλεγχο του ατόμου σχετικά με τις δραστηριότητες που θα επιλέξει να ασχοληθεί στον ελεύθερο του χρόνο μετά τη δουλειά.

description: In this paper, we propose a framework for thinking through the design and conduct of descriptive epidemiologic studies. A well-defined descriptive question aims to quantify and characterize some feature of the health of a population and must clearly state: 1) the target population, characterized by person and place, and anchored in time; 2) the outcome, event, or health state or characteristic; and 3) the measure of occurrence that will be used to summarize the outcome (e.g., incidence, prevalence, average time to event, etc.). Additionally, 4) any auxiliary variables will be prespecified and their roles as stratification factors (to characterize the outcome distribution) or nuisance variables (to be standardized over) will be stated. We illustrate application of this framework to describe the prevalence of viral suppression on December 31, 2019, among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who had been linked to HIV care in the United States. Application of this framework highlights biases that may arise from missing data, especially 1) differences between the target population and the analytical sample; 2) measurement error; 3) competing events, late entries, loss to follow-up, and inappropriate interpretation of the chosen measure of outcome occurrence; and 4) inappropriate adjustment.

description: Background: Transmission of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa has become increasingly stratified following decades of malaria control interventions. The extent to which environmental and land cover risk factors for malaria may differ across distinct strata of transmission intensity is not well known and could provide actionable targets to maximize the success of malaria control efforts. Methods: This study used cross-sectional malaria survey data from a nationally representative cohort of school-aged children in Tanzania, and satellite-derived measures for environmental features and land cover. Hierarchical logistic regression models were applied to evaluate associations between land cover and malaria prevalence within three distinct strata of transmission intensity: low and unstable, moderate and seasonal, and high and perennial. Results: In areas with low malaria transmission, each 10-percentage point increase in cropland cover was associated with an increase in malaria prevalence odds of 2.44 (95% UI: 1.27, 5.11). However, at moderate and higher levels of transmission intensity, no association between cropland cover and malaria prevalence was detected. Small associations were observed between greater grassland cover and greater malaria prevalence in high intensity settings (prevalence odds ratio (POR): 1.10, 95% UI: 1.00, 1.21), and between greater forest cover and reduced malaria prevalence in low transmission areas (POR: 0.74, 95% UI: 0.51, 1.03), however the uncertainty intervals of both estimates included the null. Conclusions: The intensity of malaria transmission appears to modify relationships between land cover and malaria prevalence among school-aged children in Tanzania. In particular, greater cropland cover was positively associated with increased malaria prevalence in areas with low transmission intensity and presents an actionable target for environmental vector control interventions to complement current malaria control activities. As areas are nearing malaria elimination, it is important to re-evaluate environmental risk factors and employ appropriate interventions to effectively address low-level malaria transmission.
Unitary evolution of the quantum universe with a Brown-Kuchar dust

description: We study the time evolution of a wave function for the spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe governed by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in both analytical and numerical methods. We consider a Brown-Kuchar dust as a matter field in order to introduce a "clock" in quantum cosmology and adopt the Laplace-Beltrami operator-ordering. The Hamiltonian operator admits an infinite number of self-adjoint extensions corresponding to a one-parameter family of boundary conditions at the origin in the minisuperspace. For any value of the extension parameter in the boundary condition, the evolution of a wave function is unitary and the classical initial singularity is avoided and replaced by the big bounce in the quantum system. Exact wave functions show that the expectation value of the spatial volume of the universe obeys the classical time evolution in the late time but its variance diverges.

description: We aimed to measure social protection coverage among the general population, women and men living with HIV (WLHIV, MLHV), female and male sex workers (FSW, MSW), men who have sex with men (MSM), adolescent girls young women (AGYW), and orphans vulnerable children (OVC) in Eswatini, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. We used Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment data. We operationalised social protection benefits as external economic support from private and public sources to the household in the last three or 12 months. We estimated survey-weighted proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each population receiving social protection benefits. The sample size ranged from 10,233 adults ages 15–59 years in Eswatini to 29,638 in Tanzania. In the surveyed countries, social protection coverage among the general population was lower than the global average of 45%, ranging from 7.7% (95% CI 6.7%–8.8%) in Zambia to 39.6% (95% CI 36.8%–42.5%) in Eswatini. In Malawi and Zambia, social protection coverage among OVC, AGYW, SW, MSM, and people living with HIV (PLHIV) was similar to the general population. In Eswatini, more AGWY reported receiving social projection benefits than older women and more men not living with HIV reported receiving social protection benefits than MLHIV. In Tanzania, more WLHIV than women not living with HIV, MLHIV than men not living with HIV, and FSW than women who were not sex workers reported receiving social protection benefits. More data on access to social protection benefits by PLHIV or affected by HIV are needed to estimate better their social protection coverage.

description: To any graph $G$ one can associate a toric variety $X(\mathcal{P}G)$, obtained as a blowup of projective space along coordinate subspaces corresponding to connected subgraphs of $G$. The polytope of this toric variety is the graph associahedron of $G$, a class of polytopes that includes the permutohedron, associahedron, and stellahedron. We show that the space $X(\mathcal{P}{G})$ is isomorphic to a Hassett compactification of $M_{0,n}$ precisely when $G$ is an iterated cone over a discrete set. This may be viewed as a generalization of the well-known fact that the Losev--Manin moduli space is isomorphic to the toric variety associated to the permutohedron.

description: A disordered mean field model for multimode laser in open and irregular cavities is proposed and discussed within the replica analysis. The model includes the dynamics of the mode intensity and accounts also for the possible presence of a linear coupling between the modes, due, e.g., to the leakages from an open cavity. The complete phase diagram, in terms of disorder strength, source pumping and non-linearity, consists of four different optical regimes: incoherent fluorescence, standard mode locking, random lasing and the novel spontaneous phase locking. A replica symmetry breaking phase transition is predicted at the random lasing threshold. For a high enough strength of non-linearity, a whole region with nonvanishing complexity anticipates the transition, and the light modes in the disordered medium display typical discontinuous glassy behavior, i.e., the photonic glass has a multitude of metastable states that corresponds to different mode-locking processes in random lasers. The lasing regime is still present for very open cavities, though the transition becomes continuous at the lasing threshold.

description: We estimated joint associations between having history of alcohol use disorder (AUD) (based on prior ICD-9/ICD-10 codes) and recent self-reported alcohol use and viral non-suppression (≥ 1 viral load measurement > 20 copies/mL in the same calendar year as alcohol consumption was reported) among patients on ART enrolled in routine care, 2014–2018, in an urban specialty clinic. Among 1690 patients, 26% had an AUD, 21% reported high-risk alcohol use, and 39% had viral non-suppression. Relative to person-years in which people without AUD reported not drinking, prevalence of viral non-suppression was higher in person-years when people with AUD reported drinking at any level; prevalence of viral non-suppression was not significantly higher in person-years when people with AUD reported not drinking or person-years when people without AUD reported drinking at any level. No level of alcohol use may be “safe” for people with a prior AUD with regard to maintaining viral suppression.

description: The recent spread of cloud services has enabled many companies to take advantage of them. Nevertheless, the main concern about the adoption of cloud services remains the lack of transparency perceived by customers regarding security and privacy. To overcome this issue, Cloud Service Certifications (CSCs) have emerged as an effective solution to increase the level of trust in cloud services, possibly based on continuous auditing to monitor and evaluate the security of cloud services on an ongoing basis. Continuous auditing can be easily implemented for technical aspects, while organizational aspects can be challenging due to their generic nature and varying policies between service providers. In this paper, we propose an approach to facilitate the automatic assessment of organizational evidence, such as that extracted from security policy documents. The evidence extraction process is based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, in particular on Question Answering (QA). The implemented prototype provides promising results on an annotated dataset, since it is capable to retrieve the correct answer for more than half of the tested metrics. This prototype can be helpful for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to automate the auditing of textual policy documents and to help in reducing the time required by auditors to check policy documents.
