Creators: name: Lee, Eun-Young
Publisher: name: The Health & Fitness Journal of Canada
Year: 2022

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the engagement in 24-hour movement behaviors, namely moderate-to vigorous-physical activity (MVPA), recreational screen time (ST), and sleep (SLP). Objective: To examine the changes in 24-hour movement behaviors pre- and during-COVID-19 pandemic among South Korean adolescents. Methods: Self-reported, population-based data from Korea web-based Youth Risk Behavior Surveys were used (N=112,251). Relative changes in meeting individual and combinations of recommendations within 24-Hour Movement Guidelines between 2019 (pre-COVID-19) and 2020 (during-COVID-19) were calculated. Results: Of 94,624 adolescents (M age: 15.2 years), changes in the adherence to 24-Hour Movement Guidelines pre- and during-COVID-19 were not statistically significant for MVPA (6.1% to 5.8%) and SLP (19.6% to 19.4%); however, a decrease was observed for ST (32.2% to 20.2%, OR: 0.52, 95%CI: 0.51–0.55). Also, a decrease was observed in meeting MVPA+ST (2.3% to 1.5%; OR: 0.62, 95%CI: 0.55–0.69) and ST+SLP (6.3% to 4.0%; OR: 0.63, 95%CI: 0.58–0.67); however, no changes were observed for MVPA+SLP (1.7% to 1.6%). Furthermore, an increase was observed for not meeting any recommendations (51.8% to 61.2%; OR: 1.47, 95%CI: 1.42–1.52) while a decrease was observed for meeting one (39.3% to 32.7%; OR: 0.75, 95%CI: 0.73–0.78), two (8.9% to 6.2%; OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.63–0.71), or all (0.7% to 0.5%; OR: 0.67, 95%CI: 0.55–0.82) of the recommendations. Conclusions: Behavioral profile of adolescents has not been ideal in South Korea and this concern is further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. For recreational pursuits, non-screen-based activities should be encouraged during the pandemic.

description: Interest in problems of statistical inference connected to measurements of quantum systems has recently increased substantially, in step with dramatic new developments in experimental techniques for studying small quantum systems. Furthermore, theoretical developments in the theory of quantum measurements have brought the basic mathematical framework for the probability calculations much closer to that of classical probability theory. The present paper reviews this field and proposes and interrelates a number of new concepts for an extension of classical statistical inference to the quantum context.

description: We develop a generic strategy and simple numerical models for multi-component metallic glasses for which the swap Monte Carlo algorithm can produce highly stable equilibrium configurations equivalent to experimental systems cooled more than $10^7$ times slower than in conventional simulations. This paves the way for a deeper understanding of thermodynamic, dynamic, and mechanical properties of metallic glasses. As first applications, we considerably extend configurational entropy measurements down to the experimental glass temperature, and demonstrate a qualitative change of the mechanical response of metallic glasses of increasing stability towards brittleness.

title: Gravity Studies of Two Silicic Volcanic Complexes
Creators: name: Nowell, David Alexander Giles
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: Gravity data from two silicic volcanic complexes, the Valles Caldera, New Mexico and the Breiddalur central volcano, Iceland, have been modelled and interpreted. The Rubio Volcano (4 Ma to 1.5 Ma) in the area of the Toledo Embayment in the Jemez Mountains formed the centre of a depression which grew southwestwards and then collapsed to form the Toledo Caldera (1.45 Ma) and then the Valles Caldera (1.12 Ma). Published gravity data covering the Valles Caldera are used to generate three profiles across the caldera. Models in 2½D show a combination of chaotic collapse and a trapdoor caldera up to 3,600 m deep, hinged to the west with some faulted basement blocks. The maximum depth of tuffs filling the caldera are up to 1,000 m less than in previously published models, although in other places the tuffs are found to be over 1,000 m thicker. Gravity data from Breiddalur in southeastern Iceland indicate that the partly silicic, andesitic volcano was about 2,000 m thick, with a 500 m thick silicic core and that at least two other buried silicic centres may have developed during the volcano's history. The generation and storage of silicic magmas in these contrasting volcanic provinces is considered. Much more basic material is required at Valles than at Breiddalur to produce the inferred volumes of silicic material. The consequences of this difference are discussed.

description: Ultralight scalar dark matter has been proposed to constitute a component of dark matter, though the minimal scenarios have increasingly become constrained. In this work, we analyze scenarios where the dark matter consists of more than one ultralight boson, each with different masses. This potentially leads to formation of gravitationally-bound Bose-Einstein condensates with structures that are very different from condensates composed of a single scalar field. By generalizing from the well-understood single-flavor case, we explore a large range of input parameters, subject to stability criteria, and determine the allowed parameter space for two-flavor condensates as a function of particle physics parameters, paying particular attention to cases where such condensates could compose galactic cores. We also analyze single-flavor condensates subject to external gravity from massive inner bodies and find that such systems may mimic the size of galactic cores as well.

description: Background: Research has established beneficial associations between 24-hour movement guideline adherence and several health outcomes in typically developing (TD) children, but these relationships are poorly understood in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Purpose: To examine: (1) 24-hour movement guideline adherence; (2) the influence of disability severity; and (3) associations between guideline adherence and health outcomes in children with NDD and TD children. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2018-2019 cycles of the US National Survey of Children's Health. Parental/caregiver reports of movement behaviors (physical activity, screen time, and sleep), disability severity (limitations to daily activities) and health outcomes (general health status, anxiety, and depression) were provided for 8,554 children with NDD and 19,669 TD children aged 6-17 years. Results: Children with NDD had significantly lower odds of meeting each movement behavior guideline compared to TD children and these effects were most pronounced for those who experienced consistent limitations to daily activities. Meeting at least two guidelines significantly lowered the odds for anxiety and depression, and increased the odds for better general health for children with NDD. Conclusions: These findings suggest degree of disability severity has a strong influence on adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines among children with NDD. Funding: N/A.

description: The exotic singlet fermions $χ$, with a mass $m_χ\lesssim 50$ MeV, could be produced at the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ν$NS) experiments through the $ν{\mathcal N} \rightarrow χ{\mathcal N}$ process. Due to the coherent enhancement, it offers a unique way to study how $χ$ interacts with the Standard Model (SM) sector. Based on the most general dimension-6 effective Lagrangian, we perform a comprehensive study on the relevant interaction between $χ$ and the SM sector. From the current and future COHERENT and future CONUS experiments, we obtain the upper bounds on the Wilson coefficients for the dipole, scalar, vector, and tensor interactions. For $m_χ$ below 10 MeV, future CONUS data has the best sensitivity, while for $m_χ$ between 10 MeV$-50$ MeV, the current and future COHERENT bounds dominate. These limits are complementary to those from neutrino oscillation and collider searches. Moreover, the bounds do not depend on the charge conjugation property of $χ$, nor whether $χ$ is dark matter or not.

description: We have observed emission line objects located in a 0.26 deg^2 field in the M96 (Leo) group, coincident with the intergalactic HI cloud. The emission line objects were selected using the same procedure as used for the search for intracluster planetary nebulae in the Virgo cluster, and their m_5007 luminosity function has a bright cut-off ~1.2 magnitude fainter than for the PNLF associated with the elliptical galaxies in the M96 group.Therefore the vast majority of these emission line objects are compatible with not being intragroup planetary nebulae at the Leo group distance of 10 Mpc. Spectroscopic follow-up of two emission line objects in this Leo field showed that indeed these do not have the [OIII] doublet expected for a real PN. The brighter source is identified as a starburst object at redshift z = 3.128, because of a second emission in the near infrared, identified as FeII (λ2220 AA). From these data we derive three main results: (i) from the absence of PN we can determine a more stringent upper limit to the surface brightness in any old stellar population associated with the Leo HI cloud. (ii) This translates to an upper limit of 1.6% for the fraction of luminosity in a diffuse intragroup component in the densest 3 x 2 deg area of the Leo group,relative to the light in galaxies. (iii) Using this Leo field as a blank field, we derive an average fraction of 13.6% background emission line objects that enter in surveys of Virgo intracluster PN. The small fraction confirms the validity of the selection criteria for intracluster PN candidates in Virgo.

description: internationally recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines. In order to enhance awareness and uptake, guidelines should be perceived positively by targeted users. Purpose: To review the literature on perceptions of stakeholders and end-users of PA guidelines. Methods: Six electronic databases were searched from October to December 2021 with keyword synonyms for “perceptions” and “PA guidelines”. Studies of any design that collected stakeholder and/or end-user responses to PA guidelines were included and assessed for risk of bias. Data was extracted and analyzed using thematic synthesis. Results: After screening 638 abstracts and applying citation screening, 250 full-texts were retrieved. A total of 19 articles met the inclusion criteria. Stakeholders and end-users for PA guidelines across all age groups expressed the need for simplified language with more definitions, relatable examples and imagery, and quantification of PA behaviours. There was particular concern for the early years and child PA guidelines leading to guilt amongst parents. General age group PA guidelines were not perceived as usable to populations with differing abilities, clinical conditions, and socioeconomic status’. Guidelines that targeted clinical populations were well received. Conclusions: There is a clear need to balance the evidence base with the pragmatic needs of translation and uptake so that the guidelines are not ignored or act as a barrier to actual engagement. Funding: This research did not receive funding.

Roof Solar Potential at UBC : Assessing Suitability of Campus’ Building Roofs for Solar Energy Capture
Creators: name: Nicoletti, Leonardo
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: When implemented in the right location, solar energy provides many benefits. UBC, Vancouver campus, has extensive roof area that could be used for implementation of solar energy facilities such as Photovoltaic solar arrays. However, whether it is beneficial to implement these facilities depends on a variety of influencing factors. This study provides an assessment of UBC campus and its spatial, architectural, and geographical attributes to determine the suitability of UBC rooftops for implementation of solar energy capture facilities. The first part of this study, the roof suitability study, provides a brief analysis of suitability of UBC roofs for PV solar arrays by taking into consideration the urban form of UBC campus only. The second part of the study, the solar suitability study, consists of a simulation of the sun’s behavior over UBC in generally clear sky conditions, calculating solar radiation for each m² of campus area for the year of 2018. UBC’s urban form, its geographical location and geoclimatic zone, atmospheric conditions, and monthly changes in the sun’s behavior are taken into consideration. Solar radiation maps are provided as well as estimates of total yearly solar radiation that could potentially be captured by UBC’s roof area. Finally, the study provides a solar suitability index, ranking all 537 UBC roofs from most suitable for solar energy facilities to least suitable for solar energy facilities.

description: This paper examines the stability of International Environmental Agreements (IEAs) in an economy with trade. We extent the basic model of the IEAs by letting countries choose emission taxes and import tariffs as their policy instruments in order to manage climate change and control trade. We define the equilibrium of a three-stage emission game. In the first stage, each country decides whether or not to join the agreement. In the second stage, countries choose simultaneously - cooperatively or non-cooperatively - tariff and tax levels. In the third stage, taking countries’ decisions as given, firms compete a la Cournot in the product markets. Numerical analysis illustrates that the interaction between trade and environment policies is essential in enhancing cooperation. Contrary to the IEA model, stable agreements are larger and more efficient in reducing aggregate emissions and improving welfare. Moreover, the analysis shows that the size of a stable agreement increases in the number of countries affected by the externalities.

description: We experimentally explore decision-making under uncertainty using a framework that decomposes uncertainty into three distinct layers: (1) physical uncertainty, entailing inherent randomness within a given probability model, (2) model uncertainty, entailing subjective uncertainty about the probability model to be used and (3) model misspecification, entailing uncertainty about the presence of the true probability model among the set of models considered. Using a new experimental design, we measure individual attitudes towards these different layers of uncertainty and study the distinct role of each of them in characterizing ambiguity attitudes. In addition to providing new insights into the underlying processes behind ambiguity aversion -failure to reduce compound probabilities or distinct attitudes towards unknown probabilities- our study provides the first empirical evidence for the intermediate role of model misspecification between model uncertainty and Ellsberg in decision-making under uncertainty.

These solutions can be just an isolated half-monopole or a multimonopole with topological magnetic charge, ${1/2}m$, where $m$ is a natural number. These static monopole solutions satisfy the first order Bogomol'nyi equations. The axially symmetric one-half monopole gauge potentials possess a Dirac-like string singularity along the negative z-axis.

description: We introduce a one-dimensional non-equilibrium lattice gas model representing the processive motion of dynein molecular motors over the microtubule. We study both dynamical and stationary state properties for the model consisting of hardcore particles hopping on the lattice with variable step sizes. We find that the stationary state gap-distribution exhibits striking peaks around gap sizes that are multiples of the maximum step size, for both open and periodic boundary conditions. We verified this feature using a mean-field calculation. For open boundary conditions, we observe intriguing damped oscillator-like distribution of particles over the lattice with a periodicity equal to the maximum step size. To characterize transient dynamics, we measure the mean square displacement that shows weak superdiffusive growth with exponent $γ\approx 1.34$ for periodic boundary and ballistic growth ($γ\approx 2$) for open boundary conditions at early times. We also study the effect of Langmuir dynamics on the density profile.

description: This study investigates the growing importance of sustainability in equity markets by estimating whether company commitment to sustainability matters in corporate valuation. The spreading concern for social and environmental issues, and especially for the material risks of climate change, induces policy to encourage companies to prioritise sustainability in their decision making. There is growing evidence that points to a rationale for a profit-driven response to social and environmental problems, uncovering the role of sustainability in investors’ decisions. Exploring a panel of 3,311 listed companies in 58 countries for the period 2010-2016, this study reveals that sustainability contributes to the creation of market value for listed companies, over the considered period. Furthermore, it investigates how this relationship changes according to environmental policy stringency and sector sensitivity to climate policies.

description: It is known that in some higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs), topological phases are distinguished not by gap closings of bulk states but by those of edge states, which are called boundary-obstructed topological phases (BOTPs). In this paper, we construct an effective theory of the BOTP transition of two-dimensional (2D) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model in a uniform magnetic field. At $π$ flux per plaquette, this model corresponds to the typical model of HOTIs proposed by Benalcazar, Bernevig, and Hughes (BBH). The BBH model can be approximated by Dirac fermions with two kinds of mass terms, which will be referred to as BBH Dirac insulator. To clarify the BOTP transition of the 2D SSH model around $π$ flux, we study such BBH Dirac insulator in the presence of a magnetic field. On the other hand, generically in continuum Dirac models, boundary conditions associated with the Hermiticity of Hamiltonians are known to play a crucial role in determining the edge states. We first demonstrate that for the conventional Dirac fermion with a single mass term, such boundary conditions indeed determine the edge states even in the presence of a magnetic field. Next, imposing boundary conditions consistent to the lattice terminations and symmetries of the BBH Hamiltonian as well as to the Hermiticity of the BBH Dirac insulator, we obtain the edge states of the BBH Dirac insulator in a magnetic field and reproduce its BOTP transition. In particular, we show that the unpaired Landau levels, which cause the spectral asymmetry, yield the edge states responsible for the BOTP transition.

 Methods to measure reliably and accurately the isotopic enrichment of plasma vitamin K1 using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) were developed. Two stable isotope labelled forms of vitamin K1 (13C and ring-D4) measured simultaneously disposal kinetics of intravenous doses and absolute absorption of 4 μg oral doses in ten lean, healthy volunteers (1 male and 9 female), aged 22 - 31 y. Isotopic data were fitted to a 2-compartment model with input and output from the sampled (blood plasma) pool, and exchange between it and a remote compartment. Mean half-times for vitamin K1 disappearance were 0.2 and 2.7 h and mean absolute absorption of oral doses was 13%.

 A three-way crossover measured vitamin K1 bioavailability in twelve lean, healthy volunteers (7 male and 5 female) aged 22 - 49 y. Each volunteer consumed 20 μg of capsulated 13C-labelled vitamin K1 with one of three test-meals representing convenience, cosmopolitan or animal-oriented diets and balanced for fat, protein and carbohydrate but containing vitamin K1 in different components. Blood was sampled over 8 h. Relative bioavailability was greater from the convenience meal (relative bioavaiiability = 1.00), in which most vitamin K1 was in oils and fats not intact vegetables, compared to either the cosmopolitan (0.46) or animal-oriented (0.29) meals.

 These studies demonstrate that stable isotope-based methods successfully measure vitamin K1 bioavaiiability and metabolism and their potential for use in establishing recommended dietary intakes.

description: Heterosis was the catalyst for the domestication of cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), an interspecific hybrid species that originated in the 1700s.  The hybrid origin was discovered because the phenotypes of spontaneous hybrids transgressed those of their parent species.  The transgressions included fruit yield increases and other genetic gains in the twentieth century that sparked the global expansion of strawberry production.  The importance of heterosis to the agricultural success of the hybrid species, however, has remained a mystery.  Here we show that heterosis has disappeared (become fixed) among improved hybrids within a population (the California population) that has been under long-term selection for increased fruit yield, weight, and firmness.  We found that the highest yielding hybrids are among the most highly inbred (59-79%), which seems counterintuitive for a highly heterozygous, outbreeder carrying heavy genetic loads.  Although faint remnants of heterosis were discovered, the between-parent allele frequency differences and dispersed favorable dominant alleles necessary for heterosis have decreased nearly genome-wide within the California population.  Conversely, heterosis was prevalent and significant among wide hybrids, especially for fruit count, a significant driver of genetic gains for fruit yield.  We attributed the disappearance (fixation) of heterosis within the California population to increased homozygosity of favorable dominant alleles and inbreeding associated with selection, random genetic drift, and selective sweeps.  Despite historical inbreeding, the highest yielding hybrids reported to-date are estimated to be heterozygous for 20,370-44,280 of the estimated 97,000-108,000 genes in the octoploid genome, the equivalent of an entire diploid genome or more.

description: We describe the construction of string theory models with semirealistic spectrum in a sector of (anti) D3-branes located at an orbifold singularity at the bottom of a highly warped throat geometry, which is a generalisation of the Klebanov-Strassler deformed conifold. These models realise the Randall-Sundrum proposal to naturally generate the Planck/electroweak hierarchy in a concrete string theory embedding, and yielding interesting chiral open string spectra. We describe examples with Standard Model gauge group (or left-right symmetric extensions) and three families of SM fermions, with correct quantum numbers including hypercharge. The dilaton and complex structure moduli of the geometry are stabilised by the 3-form fluxes required to build the throat. We describe diverse issues concerning the stabilisation of geometric Kahler moduli, like blow-up modes of the orbifold singularities, via D term potentials and gauge theory non-perturbative effects, like gaugino condensation. This local geometry, once embedded in a full compactification, could give rise to models with all moduli stabilised, and with the potential to lead to de Sitter vacua. Issues of gauge unification, proton stability, supersymmetry breaking and Yukawa couplings are also discussed.

Particle transport in tangled magnetic fields and Fermi acceleration at relativistic shocks

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents a new method of Monte-Carlo simulations of test particle Fermi acceleration at relativistic shocks. The particle trajectories in tangled magnetic fields are integrated out exactly from entry to exit through the shock, and the conditional probability of return as a function of ingress and egress pitch angles is constructed by Monte-Carlo iteration. These upstream and downstream probability laws are then used in conjunction with the energy gain formula at shock crossing to reproduce Fermi acceleration. For pure Kolmogorov magnetic turbulence upstream and downstream, the spectral index is found to evolve smoothly from s=2.09 +/- 0.02 for mildly relativistic shocks with Lorentz factor Gamma=2 to s=2.26 +/- 0.04 in the ultra-relativistic limit Gamma >> 1. The energy gain is ~Gamma^2 at first shock crossing, and ~2 in all subsequent cycles as anticipated by Gallant & Achterberg (1999). The acceleration timescale is found to be as short as a fraction of Larmor time when Gamma >> 1.

description: In multicultural healthcare environments, medical secretaries play a pivotal role in bridging communication between patients and healthcare providers, ensuring smooth administrative processes and positive patient experiences. This comprehensive review examines the essential communication skills required for medical secretaries to navigate the challenges posed by linguistic and cultural diversity. Key areas explored include active listening, cultural competence, verbal and non-verbal communication techniques, empathy, and conflict resolution. The review highlights the impact of these skills on patient satisfaction, trust, and healthcare outcomes. It also discusses challenges such as language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, and organizational constraints, as well as strategies for overcoming them, including the use of interpreters, technology, and professional training programs. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and policy support in fostering effective communication practices. With the increasing globalization of healthcare, medical secretaries must adapt to evolving patient needs to enhance institutional performance and minimize errors. The findings of this review suggest that equipping medical secretaries with the right communication tools and resources can significantly improve patient interactions and contribute to better healthcare delivery.

Circular Polarization from Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows

description: We investigate the circular polarization (CP) from Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows. We show that a tangled magnetic field cannot generate CP without an ordered magnetic field because there is always an oppositely directed field, so that no handedness exists. This implies the observation of CP could be a useful probe of an ordered field, which carries valuable information on the GRB central engine. By solving the transfer equation of polarized radiation, we find that the CP reaches 1% at radio frequencies and 0.01% at optical for the forward shock, and 10-1% at radio and 0.1-0.01% at optical for the reverse shock.

description: We consider an ultra-light scalar coupled to the Higgs in the presence of heavier new physics. In the electroweak broken phase the Higgs gives a tree-level contribution to the light-scalar potential, while new physics contributes at loop level. Thereby, the theory has a cosmologically meta-stable phase where the light scalar is around the top of its potential, and the Higgs is a loop factor lighter than new physics. Such regions with precarious naturalness are anthropically and environmentally selected, as regions with heavier Higgs crunch quickly. We expect observable effects of rolling in the dark-energy equation of state. Furthermore, vacuum energies up to the weak scale can be canceled down to anthropically small values.
