description: As the number of gravitational-wave transient detections grows, the inclusion of marginally significant events in gravitational-wave catalogs will lead to increasing contamination from false positives. In this paper, we address the question of how to carry out population studies in light of the fact that some fraction of marginally significant gravitational-wave events are of terrestrial origin. We show that previously published estimates of $p_\text{astro}$, the probability that an event is of astrophysical origin, imply an effective noise likelihood, which can be used to take into account the uncertain origin of marginal events in population studies. We derive a formalism to carry out population studies with ambiguous gravitational-wave events. We demonstrate this formalism using events from the LIGO/Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 1 (GWTC-1) as well as events from the Venumadhav et al. "IAS catalog." We derive posterior distributions for population parameters and discuss how they change when we take into account $p_\text{astro}$. We provide updated individual-event posterior distributions by including population information.

description: Primary axillary hyperhidrosis (PAHH) is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that negatively impacts health-related quality of life, with significant psychological and social impacts. Glycopyrronium tosylate (GT) is a topical anticholinergic approved in the United States for treatment of PAHH in patients 9 years of age and older. Our objective was to assess the cost-effectiveness of GT as first-line topical therapy compared to topical aluminum chloride from a United States commercial perspective. A Markov model was developed consisting of four health states based on the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) over a time horizon of five years with discount rates of 3% for both costs and outcomes. Transitions between health states were driven by HDSS response, defined as an improvement of ≥2 points. Non-responders and those who discontinue could switch to later line treatments or no treatment. Health utility scores were based on HDSS scores, supported by published literature. Over five years, GT yielded 0.12 greater QALYs and 0.93 greater LYs with response compared to treatment with prescription aluminum chloride at an incremental cost of $10,584. Relative to prescription aluminum chloride, GT resulted in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $87,238 per QALY gained, $11,349 per LY with response. The ICER fell below $100,000 for 66% of probabilistic sensitivity analysis simulations and below $150,000 for 82% of simulations. This analysis represents a simplified scenario of a hypothetical PAHH patient. Due to sparse data, assumptions were required for treatment patterns, efficacy, and persistence. Based on the analysis of incremental cost per QALY gained, GT is may be cost-effective relative to prescription aluminum chloride at commonly accepted willingness to pay thresholds.

REMARKS
 An operculum was collected (14.4 × 8.3 mm), and its analysis shown that it does not belong to anyone of the known species in Brazilian coast and neighborhood. It barely resembles the operculum of Natica ss, as that of N. vitellus (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of the genus, has an elaborated set of folds in outer edge (Fig. 10C), and is relative smooth in remaining regions. The erosion of its inner surface, which lacks the usual organic matrix that normally covers it (Fig. 10D), shows a certain degree of transportation or long time after death. The relative good preservation allows the deduction that the enigmatic species occurs in the region. Because of the obvious incompleteness of data, a formal description of the species is here considered premature.

description: In this study, we analyzed a filament system, which expanded between moving magnetic features (MMFs) of a decaying sunspot and opposite flux outside of the active region from the nearby quiet-Sun network. This configuration deviated from a classical arch filament system (AFS), which typically connects two pores in an emerging flux region. Thus, we called this system an extended AFS. We contrasted classical and extended AFSs with an emphasis on the complex magnetic structure of the latter. Furthermore, we examined the physical properties of the extended AFS and described its dynamics and connectivity. At the southern footpoint, we measured that the flux decreases over time. We find strong downflow velocities at the footpoints of the extended AFS, which increase in a time period of 30 minutes. The velocities are asymmetric at both footpoints with higher velocities at the southern footpoint. The extended AFS was observed with two instruments at the Dunn Solar Telescope (DST). The Rapid Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere (ROSA) imager provided images in three different wavelength regions. The Interferometric Bidimensional Spectropolarimeter (IBIS) provided spectroscopic H$α$ data and spectropolarimetric data that was obtained in the near-infrared Ca II 8542 Å line. We used He II 304 Å extreme ultraviolet images of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and LOS magnetograms of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) as context data.

description: In particle physics, scalar potentials have to be bounded from below in order for the physics to make sense. The precise expressions of checking lower bound of scalar potentials are essential, which is an analytical expression of checking copositivity and positive definiteness of tensors given by such scalar potentials. Because the tensors given by general scalar potential are 4th order and symmetric, our work mainly focuses on finding precise expressions to test copositivity and positive definiteness of 4th order tensors in this paper. First of all, an analytically sufficient and necessary condition of positive definiteness is provided for 4th order 2 dimensional symmetric tensors. For 4th order 3 dimensional symmetric tensors, we give two analytically sufficient conditions of (strictly) cpositivity by using proof technique of reducing orders or dimensions of such a tensor. Furthermore, an analytically sufficient and necessary condition of copositivity is showed for 4th order 2 dimensional symmetric tensors. We also give several distinctly analytically sufficient conditions of (strict) copositivity for 4th order 2 dimensional symmetric tensors. Finally, we apply these results to check lower bound of scalar potentials, and to present analytical vacuum stability conditions for potentials of two real scalar fields and the Higgs boson.

description: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with brain metastases (BM) is difficult to treat and associated with poor survival. This study assessed the impact of BM on healthcare-related utilization and costs (HRUC) among patients receiving epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Adults newly-diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC, initiating first-/second-generation EGFR-TKI treatment, with BM or no BM (NBM), were identified retrospectively from IBM MarketScan healthcare claims databases (2013–2017). HRUC were measured during the variable-length follow-up period. Generalized linear models assessed the impact of BM on total healthcare costs, standardized to 2017 US$. Overall, 222 BM and 280 NBM patients were included, with a mean duration of follow-up of 14 months. Adjusted NSCLC-related and all-cause costs over average follow-up were 1.2 times higher among BM patients (Δ$5,640 and Δ$6,366, respectively; p <0.05); differences were driven primarily by radiation treatment and radiology. More than two times more BM than NBM patients received NSCLC-related radiation treatment, in both inpatient (15.3% vs 6.8%; p <0.05) and outpatient settings (87.8% vs 37.5%; p <0.05). Per-patient per-month (PPPM) radiation costs were also higher among BM patients, both inpatient ($796 vs $464, p =0.172) and outpatient ($2,443 vs $747, p <0.05). All-cause PPPM radiology visits (2.0 vs 1.3) and associated costs ($3,824 vs $1,621) were higher among BM patients (both p <0.05). NSCLC-related HRUC, especially those attributable to radiation treatment, were higher among patients with BM. Future research should compare the potential for CNS-active EGFR-TKIs vs first-/second-generation EGFR-TKIs combined with radiotherapy to reduce HRUC.

description: In the context of the new normal of high-quality agricultural development, it is necessary to accelerate the comprehensive connection of scientific and technological services of provincial agricultural research institutes and industries, and mobilize the enthusiasm of scientific and technological service personnel. Under the new normal, traditional service types are single, technology promotion and training are becoming narrower and narrower. This article analyzed the problems in scientific and technological services of provincial agricultural research institutes, including lack of comprehensive demonstration bases, not close cooperation between scientific and technological and the government and new business entities, and lack of incentive mechanism. Finally, it came up with some pertinent recommendations such as improving supporting mechanism construction, making classified evaluation, and changing the scientific and technological service concepts.

description: The observed cooling rate of hot gas in clusters is much lower than that inferred from the gas density profiles. This suggests that the gas is being heated by some source. We use an adaptive-mesh refinement code (FLASH) to simulate the effect of multiple, randomly positioned, injections of thermal energy within 50 kpc of the centre of an initially isothermal cluster with mass M_200=3x10^(14) Msol and kT=3.1 keV. We have performed eight simulations with spherical bubbles of energy generated every 10^8 years, over a total of 1.5 Gyr. Each bubble is created by injecting thermal energy steadily for 10^7 years; the total energy of each bubble ranges from 0.1--3x10^(60) erg, depending on the simulation. We find that 2x10^(60) erg per bubble (corresponding to a average power of 6.3x10^(44) erg/s) effectively balances energy loss in the cluster and prevents the accumulation of gas below kT=1 keV from exceeding the observational limits of 30 Msol/yr. This injection rate is comparable to the radiated luminosity of the cluster, and the required energy and periodic timescale of events are consistent with observations of bubbles produced by central AGN in clusters. The effectiveness of this process depends primarily on the total amount of injected energy and the initial location of the bubbles, but is relatively insensitive to the exact duty cycle of events.

description: The fate of scientific hypotheses often relies on the ability of a computational model to explain the data, quantified in modern statistical approaches by the likelihood function. The log-likelihood is the key element for parameter estimation and model evaluation. However, the log-likelihood of complex models in fields such as computational biology and neuroscience is often intractable to compute analytically or numerically. In those cases, researchers can often only estimate the log-likelihood by comparing observed data with synthetic observations generated by model simulations. Standard techniques to approximate the likelihood via simulation either use summary statistics of the data or are at risk of producing severe biases in the estimate. Here, we explore another method, inverse binomial sampling (IBS), which can estimate the log-likelihood of an entire data set efficiently and without bias. For each observation, IBS draws samples from the simulator model until one matches the observation. The log-likelihood estimate is then a function of the number of samples drawn. The variance of this estimator is uniformly bounded, achieves the minimum variance for an unbiased estimator, and we can compute calibrated estimates of the variance. We provide theoretical arguments in favor of IBS and an empirical assessment of the method for maximum-likelihood estimation with simulation-based models. As case studies, we take three model-fitting problems of increasing complexity from computational and cognitive neuroscience. In all problems, IBS generally produces lower error in the estimated parameters and maximum log-likelihood values than alternative sampling methods with the same average number of samples. Our results demonstrate the potential of IBS as a practical, robust, and easy to implement method for log-likelihood evaluation when exact techniques are not available.

description: Subfamily EUCALLIACINAE  Manning & Felder, 1991  REMARKS
 Ngoc-Ho (2003: 487) considers the presence of an exopod on the maxilliped 3 an important taxonomic character, and proposes, in the subfamily Eucalliacinae, to separate species having or lacking an exopod on the maxilliped 3. The genera Calliax de Saint Laurent, 1973 and Eucalliax Manning & Felder, 1991 include species having no exopod on the maxilliped 3, e.g., Calliax lobata de Gaillande & Lagardère, 1966, type species or Calliax tulearensis n. sp. Species provided with an exopod on the maxilliped 3 are placed either in the genus Paraglypturus Türkay & Sakai, 1995, e.g., Paraglypturus calderus Türkay & Sakai, 1995, type species or Calliaxina Ngoc-Ho, 2003, e.g., Calliaxina punica de Saint Laurent & Manning, 1982, type species and Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. Both new species Calliax tulearensis n. sp. and Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. are treated in this work.

description: This study analyzes the impact of climatic variability on ethanol trade between the Brazil and the U.S over a study period of 30 years, from 1980-2009. An econometric model was set up to estimate a net export supply function for Brazil, and a net import demand function for the U.S, as impacted by market and climatic variables. The climatic variables for the model were derived from prior literature, linking them to the yields of corn and sugarcane, which are feedstock for ethanol production in the U.S and Brazil respectively. The results suggest that climatic factors play an important role in the feedstock production for ethanol in these two countries, thereby influencing the direction of exports and imports. In South East Brazil, both low temperature and increased precipitation during winter show a positive relation with the net export supply. With regard to the net import demand in the U.S, it shows a negative relation with both increased summer precipitation and higher summer temperatures, while the relation with the average annual minimum temperature is positive. The outcome of this study provides an initial framework for conducting international trade policy studies for bio-fuels like ethanol, by incorporating climate change variables.

description: Finding the exact counterdiabatic potential is, in principle, particularly demanding. Following recent progresses about variational strategies to approximate the counterdiabatic operator, in this paper we apply this technique to the quantum annealing of the $p$-spin model. In particular, for $ p = 3 $ we find a new form of the counterdiabatic potential originating from a cyclic ansatz, that allows us to have optimal fidelity even for extremely short dynamics, independently of the size of the system. We compare our results with a nested commutator ansatz, recently proposed in P. W. Claeys, M. Pandey, D. Sels, and A. Polkovnikov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 090602 (2019), for $ p = 1 $ and $ p = 3 $. We also analyze generalized $ p $-spin models to get a further insight into our ansatz.

description: We have prepared solutions of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in Aroclor 1254, a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls. The solutions are stable at room temperature. Transport measurements were performed using a scanning--tunneling probe on a sample prepared by spin--coating of the solution on gold substrates. Conductance steps were clearly seen. An histogram of a high number of traces shows maximum peaks at integer values of the conductance quantum $G_0 = 2e^2/h$, demonstrating ballistic transport at room temperature along the carbon nanotube over distances longer than $1.4μm$.

description: Reservoir computing is applied to model the large-scale evolution and the resulting low-order turbulence statistics of a two-dimensional turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection flow at a Rayleigh number ${\rm Ra}=10^7$ and a Prandtl number ${\rm Pr}=7$ in an extended domain with an aspect ratio of 6. Our data-driven approach which is based on a long-term direct numerical simulation of the convection flow comprises a two-step procedure. (1) Reduction of the original simulation data by a Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) snapshot analysis and subsequent truncation to the first 150 POD modes which are associated with the largest total energy amplitudes. (2) Setup and optimization of a reservoir computing model to describe the dynamical evolution of these 150 degrees of freedom and thus the large-scale evolution of the convection flow. The quality of the prediction of the reservoir computing model is comprehensively tested. At the core of the model is the reservoir, a very large sparse random network charcterized by the spectral radius of the corresponding adjacency matrix and a few further hyperparameters which are varied to investigate the quality of the prediction. Our work demonstrates that the reservoir computing model is capable to model the large-scale structure and low-order statistics of turbulent convection which can open new avenues for modeling mesoscale convection processes in larger circulation models.

description: This paper uses experimental methods to examine how individuals react to a set of voluntary incentives related to the conservation of a resource. The goal was to determine whether conservation over a critical area, such as a deep portion of an aquifer, could be encouraged, and whether coordination between individuals could be induced. Participants were faced with a bidding process through which units were selected for conservation, and some participants were offered an agglomeration bonus for conserving units that shared a border. Examining how bids changed across rounds revealed the existence of a learning process; implying that a similar real-world program would need to provide a large amount of information up front in order to achieve the desired effect. Using a monetary selection constraint resulted in more units placed in conservation. The bonus did not necessarily encourage conservation at the critical area, but it did reduce participant’s bid amounts.

description: Location entropy (LE) is a popular metric for measuring the popularity of various locations (e.g., points-of-interest). Unlike other metrics computed from only the number of (unique) visits to a location, namely frequency, LE also captures the diversity of the users' visits, and is thus more accurate than other metrics. Current solutions for computing LE require full access to the past visits of users to locations, which poses privacy threats. This paper discusses, for the first time, the problem of perturbing location entropy for a set of locations according to differential privacy. The problem is challenging because removing a single user from the dataset will impact multiple records of the database; i.e., all the visits made by that user to various locations. Towards this end, we first derive non-trivial, tight bounds for both local and global sensitivity of LE, and show that to satisfy $ε$-differential privacy, a large amount of noise must be introduced, rendering the published results useless. Hence, we propose a thresholding technique to limit the number of users' visits, which significantly reduces the perturbation error but introduces an approximation error. To achieve better utility, we extend the technique by adopting two weaker notions of privacy: smooth sensitivity (slightly weaker) and crowd-blending (strictly weaker). Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show that our proposed techniques preserve original data distribution without compromising location privacy.

description: The aims of this study were to evaluate health outcomes and the economic burden of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States. Hospitalized patients with a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis code for COVID-19 (ICD-10 code U07.1) from 1 April to 31 October 2020 were identified in the Premier Healthcare COVID-19 Database. Patient demographics, hospitalization characteristics, and concomitant medical conditions were assessed. Hospital length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, hospital charges, and hospital costs were evaluated overall and stratified by age groups, insurance types, and 4 COVID-19 disease progression states based on intensive care unit (ICU) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) usage. Of the 173,942 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the median age was 63 years, 51.0% were male, and 48.5% were covered by Medicare. The most prevalent concomitant medical conditions were cardiovascular disease (73.5%), hypertension (64.8%), diabetes (40.7%), obesity (27.0%), and chronic kidney disease (24.2%). Approximately one-fifth (21.9%) of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients were admitted to the ICU and 16.9% received IMV; most patients (73.6%) did not require ICU admission or IMV, and 12.4% required both. The median hospital LOS was 5 days, in-hospital mortality was 13.6%, median hospital charges were $43,986, and median hospital costs were $12,046. Hospital LOS and in-hospital mortality increased with ICU and/or IMV usage and age; hospital charges and costs increased with ICU and/or IMV usage. Patients with both ICU and IMV usage had the longest median hospital LOS (15 days), highest in-hospital mortality (53.8%), and highest hospital charges ($198,394) and hospital costs ($54,402). This retrospective administrative database analysis relied on coding accuracy and a subset of admissions with validated/reconciled hospital costs. This study summarizes the severe health outcomes and substantial hospital costs of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the US. The findings support the urgent need for rapid implementation of effective interventions, including safe and efficacious vaccines.
