description: Minimising the longest travel distance for a group of mobile robots with interchangeable goals requires knowledge of the shortest length paths between all robots and goal destinations. Determining the exact length of the shortest paths in an environment with obstacles is NP-hard however. In this paper, we investigate when polynomial-time approximations of the shortest path search are sufficient to determine the optimal assignment of robots to goals. In particular, we propose an algorithm in which the accuracy of the path planning is iteratively increased. The approach provides a certificate when the uncertainties on estimates of the shortest paths become small enough to guarantee the optimality of the goal assignment. To this end, we apply results from assignment sensitivity assuming upper and lower bounds on the length of the shortest paths. We then provide polynomial-time methods to find such bounds by applying sampling-based path planning. The upper bounds are given by feasible paths, the lower bounds are obtained by expanding the sample set and leveraging the knowledge of the sample dispersion. We demonstrate the application of the proposed method with a multi-robot path-planning case study.

description: We mapped 12CO and 13CO J = 2-1 emission over 1.04 square deg of the Serpens molecular cloud with 38 arcsec spatial and 0.3 km/s spectral resolution using the Arizona Radio Observatory Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter telescope. Our maps resolve kinematic properties for the entire Serpens cloud. We also compare our velocity moment maps with known positions of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) and 1.1 mm continuum emission. We find that 12CO is self-absorbed and 13CO is optically thick in the Serpens core. Outside of the Serpens core, gas appears in filamentary structures having LSR velocities which are blue-shifted by up to 2 km/s relative to the 8 km/s systemic velocity of the Serpens cloud. We show that the known Class I, Flat, and Class II YSOs in the Serpens core most likely formed at the same spatial location and have since drifted apart. The spatial and velocity structure of the 12CO line ratios implies that a detailed 3-dimensional radiative transfer model of the cloud will be necessary for full interpretation of our spectral data. The starless cores region of the cloud is likely to be the next site of star formation in Serpens.

description: Using finite temperature SU(3) lattice gauge theory in the fixed scale approach we analyze center properties of the local Polyakov loop L(x). We construct spatial clusters of points x where the phase of L(x) is near the same center element and study their properties as a function of temperature. We find that below the deconfinement transition the clusters form objects with a fractal dimension D < 3. As the temperature is increased, the largest cluster starts to percolate and its dimensionality approaches D=3. The fractal structure of the clusters in the transition region may have implications regarding both the small shear viscosity and the large opacity of the Quark Gluon Plasma observed in heavy-ion collision experiments.

description: We present a parallel visualization algorithm for the illustrative rendering of depth-dependent stylized dense tube data at interactive frame rates. While this computation could be efficiently performed on a GPU device, we target a parallel framework to enable it to be efficiently running on an ordinary multi-core CPU platform which is much more available than GPUs for common users. Our approach is to map the depth information in each tube onto each of the visual dimensions of shape, color, texture, value, and size on the basis of Bertin's semiology theory. The purpose is to enable more legible displays in the dense tube environments. A major contribution of our work is an efficient and effective parallel depthordering algorithm that makes use of the message passing interface (MPI) with VTK. We evaluated our framework with visualizations of depth-stylized tubes derived from 3D diffusion tensor MRI data by comparing its efficiency with several other alternative parallelization platforms running the same computations. As our results show, the parallelization framework we proposed can efficiently render highly dense 3D data sets like the tube data and thus is useful as a complement to parallel visualization environments that rely on GPUs.

Our study shows the evolution of the many-body electronic state as the Kondo lattice of Ce moments is transformed into an array of Ce impurities. Specifically, we observe a smooth crossover from the predominantly localized Ce moment regime to the predominantly itinerant Yb f-electronic states regime for about 50% of Yb doping. Our analysis of the residual resistivity data unveils the presence of correlations between Yb ions, while from our analysis of specific heat data we conclude that for 0.65

description: Multi-material solutions represent a promising approach for the production of load-optimised parts. The combination of material-specific advantages of different materials in a single component allows the fulfilment of conflicting requirements e.g. high performance and low weight. Fabrication of hybrid components is challenging due to the dissimilar properties of the individual materials and requires the development of suitable manufacturing technologies. The present paper deals with the simulation-based design of a forming process for the production of a suspension control arm consisting of steel and aluminium. With the focus on material flow, two forming concepts, open-die and closed-die forging, were investigated, in order to ensure the required material distribution similar to the final part. In addition, a tool analysis was carried out to avoid thermo-mechanical overload of the tool system. It was found that the required material distribution can be achieved with both forming concepts. However, a closed-die forging concept is not suitable because of the high stresses in the forging dies exceed the tool steel's strength.

It is demonstrated that the choice of such 4d inhomogeneous fluid models may lead to a brane FRW cosmology without any explicit account of higher dimensions at all. Effectively, we thus obtain a brane dark energy universe without introducing the brane concept explicitly. Several examples of brane Rip cosmology arising from 4d inhomogeneous dark fluid models are given.

description: 3. Zosterodasys agamaliev Deroux, 1978 (Fig. 1 E-G)
Diagnosis. Size about 112­165 × 87­118 μm after protargol impregnation; obovoidal to ellipsoidal in shape; about 58­68 ciliary rows, 39­46 ventral and 19­22 dorsal rows; on average, 12 nematodesmal rods.
Material examined. On December 16, 2014, at Aamdo Waterfront Park, the Yellow Sea, Korea (37°26′N, 126°37′E).
Voucher slides. A slide of protargol­impregnated specimens was deposited at the National Institute of Biological Resources, Korea (NIBRPR0000106618).
Remarks. Zosterodasys agamaliev was originally described by Deroux (1978) as the type species of the genus Zosterodasys. Although Z. agamaliev and Z. transversus (Kahl, 1928) are very similar, they can be distinguished in habitats (marine vs. freshwater) (Vd’ačný and Tirjaková, 2012).

description: It is well known that gravity in 2+1 dimensions can be recast as Chern-Simons theory, with the gauge group given by the local isometry group, depending on the metric signature and the cosmological constant. Point particles are added into spacetime as (spinning) conical defects. Then, in principle, one may integrate out the gravitational degrees of freedom to obtain the effective particle action; the most interesting consequence is that the momentum space of a particle turns out to be curved. This is still not completely understood in the case of non-zero cosmological constant.

title: Frying Oil and Frying Oil-Derived Polar Compounds Exaggerate Colitis in Mice
Creators: name: Chen, Xijing
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

description: Frying in vegetable oil is a popular cooking and food processing method worldwide; as a result, the oils used for frying are widely consumed by the general public and it is of practical importance to better understand their health impacts. To date, the effects of frying oil consumption on human health are inconclusive, making it difficult to establish dietary recommendations or guidelines. Here we show that dietary administration of frying oil, which was prepared under the conditions of good commercial practice, exaggerated dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. In addition, to explore the potential compounds involved in the actions of the frying oil, we isolated polar compounds from the frying oil and found that administration of the polar compounds also exacerbated DSS-induced colitis in mice. Together, our results showed that dietary administration of frying oil exaggerated development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in mice, and this effect could be mediated by the polar compounds in the frying oil.

Hamiltonian ray tracing is applied using the iterative nonlinear beam propagation method, which allows taking both wave effects and Kerr nonlinearity into consideration. Energy evolution within a single spatial soliton and the exchange of energy when two solitons collide are interpreted intuitively by ray trajectories and geometrical shearing of the Wigner distribution functions.

description: Time-resolved resonant magnetic scattering in the soft-x-ray range is a powerful tool for accessing the spatially resolved and element-specific spin dynamics in magnetic materials. So far, the application of this photon-demanding technique was limited to large-scale facilities. However, upgrades to diffraction-limited storage rings supporting only x-ray pulses beyond 100 ps, and the shift of x-ray free-electron lasers toward attosecond pulses aggravate the competition for beamtime in the picosecond time window, which is of utmost relevance for magnetism research. Here we present the development of a lab-based instrument providing sufficient photon flux up to 1.5 keV photon energy covering the soft-x-ray resonances of transition and rare-earth metal atoms. Our setup features the mandatory tunability in energy and reciprocal space in combination with sub-10 ps temporal resolution, exploiting the broadband emission of a laser-driven plasma x-ray source, which is monochromatized to about 1 eV bandwidth by a reflection zone plate. We benchmark our approach against accelerator-based soft-x-ray sources by simultaneously probing the laser-induced magnetic and structural dynamics from an antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Cr superlattice. Our development lays the foundation for laser-driven resonant scattering experiments to study ultrafast ordering phenomena of charges, spins, and orbitals.

description: We study the prospect to detect the cosmic background of sterile neutrinos in the Tritium $β$-decay, such as PTOLEMY-like experiments. The sterile neutrino with mass between 1 eV - 10 keV may contribute to the local density as warm or cold DM component. In this study, we investigate the possibility for searching them in the models with different production in the early Universe, without assuming sterile neutrino as full dark matter component. In these models, especially with low-reheating temperature or phase transition, the capture rate per year can be greatly enhanced to be $\mathcal O(10)$ without violating other astrophysical and cosmological observations.

description: Time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) enables a unique spectroscopic view on complex spin and charge dynamics in multi-elemental magnetic materials. So far, its application in the soft-x-ray range has been limited to synchrotron-radiation sources and free-electron lasers. By combining a laser-driven plasma source with a magnetic thin-film polarizer, we generate up to 30% circular polarization in the soft-x-ray regime, enabling the first XMCD spectroscopy at the Fe 𝐿 edges in a laser laboratory, to our knowledge. Our approach can be readily adapted to other transition metal 𝐿 and rare earth 𝑀 absorption edges, and with a temporal resolution of <10ps, a wide range of ultrafast magnetization studies can be realized.
A Case of Cultural Misunderstanding: French Anthropology in a comparative perspective

description: This paper offers a study of French anthropological tradition in a comparative perspective. It focuses on French anthropologists’ writing practices and, in particular, on a strikingly recurrent phenomenon: that French ethnographers, in addition to their scholarly work, often write a ‘second book,’ a literary account of their experience in the field. The study of the divide between these two books allows for a comparison with other national anthropological traditions, particularly the American one. It sheds light on some difficulties in cultural and intellectual translation between national traditions in social sciences.
title: Exploring the impact of a Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC) program in an urban Middle School in Western Massachusetts
Creators: name: O'Donnell, Maria
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

description: Although breakfast programs in schools have been encouraged in school-aged children due to numerous benefits on physical and academic performance, participation in School Breakfast Programs (SBP) remains lower than the National School Lunch Program in the United States. Some studies have found that lower participation in the SBP are due to barriers and stigmas. Some studies have found that when breakfast programs are taken into the classroom, uptake of the program improves. However, the relationship between breakfast intake and academic outcomes among young adolescents remains inconclusive. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of a newly implemented Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC) program within a large urban school district in Western Massachusetts. A secondary comparative cross-sectional analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of the “Breakfast in the Classroom” (BIC) program on middle school students’ academic performance, absenteeism rates, and school nurse visits, factors that influence learners positive experience within the school system. Data on a total of 1,897 students from seven public schools in Western Massachusetts were included in the analysis. Linear regression models showed that breakfast in the classroom (BIC) program did not have a significant effect on student academic performance, attendance, and school nurse visits in a cohort of middle school students. Sensitivity analysis on a subset of the sample of students receiving free lunch who are also participants of the BIC program, had significantly higher academic performance outcomes than their BIC peers who were ineligible for the free lunch program. Findings of the study provide important baseline data for both food services and the school board district and can help inform future studies on the impact of the BIC program on student outcomes.

description: Antibodies are therapeutic proteins with a multitude of applications in medicine such as the treatment of viral infections, different types of cancer and common diseases such as psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells are the most broadly used cells for the manufacturing of antibodies because of their advantages compared with other mammalian cells. The current design of systems for the production of antibodies is mainly based on "trial and error" methods that manipulate CHO cells. This leads to high expenditure of time and money, in addition to obtaining suboptimal process performance. The use of mathematical models has the potential to greatly accelerate and facilitate the design and optimization of antibody production. Starting from a systematic and formal approach, the aim is to achieve an automatic design of the whole process that allows optimal productivity to be reached. To this end, we are developing both mathematical models and algorithms for the design and optimization of antibody manufacturing systems. The mathematical models are based on flexible nets, a novel modeling formalism able to accommodate uncertain parameters and nonlinear dynamics. Flexible nets are used to develop a comprehensive model that encompasses both the metabolic network of CHO cells and the dynamics of the bioreactor in which the cells are cultured. Thus, the model integrates macroscopic (dilution rate, substrate concentration, cell density, etc.) and microscopic variables (intracellular metabolic fluxes) simultaneously which enables a global optimization of the system.

description: We investigate effects of the radiation and the moduli oscillation around the stabilized values on the evolution of a 6-dimensional spacetime compactified on $S^2$. In order to see the transition from the 5-dimensional space to the 3-dimensional one, we develop a procedure to pursue the spacetime evolution with appropriate approximations, which is valid until the spacetime behaves like 4-dimensional. In the case that the moduli stabilization process cannot be described in the context of the 4-dimensional effective theory, it takes quite a long time for the moduli oscillation to dominate the total energy density, in contrast to the conventional result obtained by the 4-dimensional effective theory approach. We also found that even if the moduli are set at the stabilized values, they start to oscillate due to the pressure in the extra space $S^2$ in some cases.

description: Scalar-tensor gravitation theories, such as the Brans-Dicke family of theories, are commonly partly described by a modified Einstein equation in which the Ricci tensor is replaced by the Bakry-Émery-Ricci tensor of a Lorentzian metric and scalar field. In physics this formulation is sometimes referred to as the "Jordan frame". Just as, in General Relativity, natural energy conditions on the stress-energy tensor become conditions on the Ricci tensor, in scalar-tensor theories expressed in the Jordan frame natural energy conditions become conditions on the Bakry-Émery-Ricci tensor. We show that, if the Bakry-Émery tensor obeys the null energy condition with an upper bound on the Bakry-Émery scalar function, there is a modified notion of apparent horizon which obeys analogues of familiar theorems from General Relativity. The Bakry-Émery modified apparent horizon always lies behind an event horizon and the event horizon obeys a modified area theorem. Under more restrictive conditions, the modified apparent horizon obeys an analogue of the Hawking topology theorem in 4 spacetime dimensions. Since topological censorship is known to yield a horizon topology theorem independent of the Hawking theorem, in an appendix we obtain a Bakry-Émery version of the topological censorship theorem. We apply our results to the Brans-Dicke theory, and obtain an area theorem for horizons in that theory. Our theorems can be used to understand behaviour observed in numerical simulations by Scheel, Shapiro, and Teukolsky of dust collapse in Brans-Dicke theory.

description: Background: There is a striking geographic variation in drug overdose deaths without a specific drug recorded, many of which likely involve opioids. Knowledge of the reasons underlying this variation is limited. Objectives: We sought to understand the role of medicolegal death investigation (MDI) systems in unclassified drug overdose mortality. Methods: This is an observational study of 2014 and 2018 fatal drug overdoses and U.S. county-level MDI system type (coroner vs medical examiner). Mortality data are from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. We estimated multivariable logistic regressions to quantify associations between MDI system type and several outcome variables: whether the drug overdose was unclassified and whether involvement of any opioid, synthetic opioid, methadone, and heroin was recorded (vs unclassified), for 2014 (N = 46,996) and 2018 (N = 67,359). Results: In 2018, drug overdose deaths occurring in coroner counties were almost four times more likely to be unclassified (OR 3.87, 95% CI 2.32, 6.46) compared to medical examiner counties. These odds ratios are twice as large as in 2014 (difference statistically significant, P < .001), indicating that medical examiner counties are improving identification of opioids in drug overdoses faster than coroner counties. Conclusions: Accurate reporting of drug overdose deaths depends on MDI systems. When developing state policies and local interventions aimed to decrease opioid overdose mortality, decision-makers should understand the role their MDI system is playing in underestimating the extent of the opioid overdose crisis. Improvements to state and county MDI systems are desirable if accurate reporting and appropriate policy response are to be achieved.

description: There has been increasing interest in investigating the possible parity violating features in the gravity theory and on the cosmological scales. In this work, we consider a class of scalar-nonmetricity theory, of which the Lagrangian is polynomial built of the nonmetricity tensor and a scalar field. The nonmetricity tensor is coupled with the scalar field through its first order derivative. Besides the monomials that are quadratic order in the nonmetricity tensor, we also construct monomials that are cubic order in the nonmetricity tensor in both the parity preserving and violating cases. These monomials act as the non-canonical (i.e., non-quadratic) kinetic terms for the spacetime metric, and will change the behavior in the propagation of the gravitational waves. We find that the gravitational waves are generally polarized, which present both the amplitude and velocity birefringence features due to the parity violation of the theory. Due to the term proportional to $1/k$ in the phase velocities, one of the two polarization modes suffers from the gradient instability on large scales.

description: The configurational entropy of ice is calculated by thermodynamic integration from high to low temperatures. We use Monte Carlo simulations with a simple energy model which reproduces the Bernal-Fowler ice rules. This procedure is found to be precise enough to give reliable values for the residual entropy s_th of different ice phases in the thermodynamic limit. First, we check it for a two-dimensional ice model. Second, we calculate s_th for ice Ih, and compare our result with those previously given in the literature. Third, we obtain s_th for ice VI, for which we find a value clearly higher than for ice Ih.

description: We perform classical molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the mechanisms underpinning the unresolved, experimentally-observed temperature-dependent scaling transition in the quality factors of graphene nanomechanical resonators (GNMR). Our simulations reveal that the mechanism underlying this temperature scaling phenomenon is the out-of-plane migration of adsorbates on GNMRs. Specifically, the migrating adsorbate undergoes frequent collisions with the GNMR, which strongly influences the resulting mechanical oscillation, and thus the quality factors. We also predict a discontinuous transition in the quality factor at a lower critical temperature, which results from the in-plane migration of the adsorbate. Overall, our work clearly demonstrates the strong effect of adsorbate migration on the quality factors of GNMRs.

description: Histogram Equalization is a contrast enhancement technique in the image processing which uses the histogram of image. However histogram equalization is not the best method for contrast enhancement because the mean brightness of the output image is significantly different from the input image. There are several extensions of histogram equalization has been proposed to overcome the brightness preservation challenge. Contrast enhancement using brightness preserving bi-histogram equalization (BBHE) and Dualistic sub image histogram equalization (DSIHE) which divides the image histogram into two parts based on the input mean and median respectively then equalizes each sub histogram independently. This paper provides review of different popular histogram equalization techniques and experimental study based on the absolute mean brightness error (AMBE), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), Structure similarity index (SSI) and Entropy.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: Baryon asymmetry of the Universe is evaluated in the model originally proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 (2009) 051805, where Majorana masses of neutrinos are generated via three-loop diagrams composed of additional scalar bosons including the dark matter candidate which is odd under an unbroken $Z_2$ symmetry. In order for the model to include multiple CP-violating phases, we do not impose the softly broken $Z_2$ symmetry imposed in the original model to avoid the flavor-changing neutral current at tree level. Instead, for simplicity, we assume the flavor alignment structure in the Yukawa interactions. We also simply assume the alignment structure in the Higgs potential so that the Higgs couplings coincide with those in the SM at tree level. Under these phenomenological simplifications, the model still contains multiple CP-violating phases. By using destructive interferences among them, it is compatible with the stringent constraint from the electric dipole moment measurements to generate the observed baryon asymmetry along with the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis. We show a benchmark scenario which can explain neutrino mass, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe simultaneously and can satisfy all the other available experimental data. Some phenomenological predictions of the model are also discussed.

description: Context: The contribution of autoimmunity to the multisystem dysregulation that characterizes the frailty syndrome in older adults is unknown. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between thyroid antibodies and frailty in older women. Design, Setting, and Participants: We conducted a cross-sectional study nested within the Women’s Health and Aging Studies I and II. Thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAbs), thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAbs), and antinuclear antibodies were measured in the baseline sera of 641 community-dwelling older women. Main Outcome Measure: Frailty was defined using a validated five-component measure. Results: The prevalence of prefrailty and frailty was lower in TgAb-positive than negative older women (37.1 vs. 47.8% and 6.7 vs.11.9%, respectively; P = 0.01 and 0.03). The prevalence of prefrailty, but not frailty, was lower in TPOAb-positive than negative women (38.9 vs. 48.0% and 10.1 vs. 11.3%; P = 0.04 and 0.34). After adjustment for covariates including serum thyroid stimulation hormone concentration and thyroid medication usage in multinomial regression models, TgAb-positive older women had lower odds of prefrailty and frailty compared with TgAb-negative women (odds ratio 0.57 and 0.30; 95% confidence interval 0.34–0.98 and 0.10–0.85, respectively). Similarly, TPOAb-positive older women had lower odds of frailty compared with TPOAb-negative women (odds ratio 0.44; 95% confidence interval 0.20–0.96). These trends were not observed with antinuclear antibodies. Conclusion: Independent of thyroid function status, community-dwelling older women who are seropositive for TgAbs and TPOAbs are less likely to be frail than seronegative women.

description: Hiroshima Rapid Transit (HRT) provides mass transit service on an automated guideway (AGT) system in Hiroshima, Japan. The company is a case study of a public-private (third sector) firm that provides a service with substantial external benefits. HRT also has an extraordinarily weak financial base, with a negative net worth and huge financial debts. Nonetheless, it has begun to make profits, and has been an ultimately successful undertaking by Hiroshima City, supported by the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ). This study suggests the ongoing usefulness of government banks such as DBJ, despite bad financials.
