description: The social and community context in which an individual lives is an essential social determinant of health (SDoH) that has been shown to have wide-ranging effects on quality of life and health. The social and community context interacts reciprocally with food insecurity (FI), making it essential to address FI. Thousands of children under the age of 18 are impacted by FI in Cleveland County, which has detrimental impacts on this vulnerable population’s social, emotional, and physical well-being. The Cleveland County Commissioners can appropriate funds to create a Meal Express Summer Food Program (MESFP) and establish the Mobile Meals for Children (MMC) program to address childhood FI. The MESFP will deliver federally funded summer meals, while the MMC program will deliver groceries to food-insecure households Both opportunities expand on evidence-based activities that will provide services and support to the community's children who need it most.

description: Quantum machine learning has received significant attention in recent years, and promising progress has been made in the development of quantum algorithms to speed up traditional machine learning tasks. In this work, however, we focus on investigating the information-theoretic upper bounds of sample complexity - how many training samples are sufficient to predict the future behaviour of an unknown target function. This kind of problem is, arguably, one of the most fundamental problems in statistical learning theory and the bounds for practical settings can be completely characterised by a simple measure of complexity. Our main result in the paper is that, for learning an unknown quantum measurement, the upper bound, given by the fat-shattering dimension, is linearly proportional to the dimension of the underlying Hilbert space. Learning an unknown quantum state becomes a dual problem to ours, and as a byproduct, we can recover Aaronson's famous result [Proc. R. Soc. A 463:3089-3144 (2007)] solely using a classical machine learning technique. In addition, other famous complexity measures like covering numbers and Rademacher complexities are derived explicitly. We are able to connect measures of sample complexity with various areas in quantum information science, e.g. quantum state/measurement tomography, quantum state discrimination and quantum random access codes, which may be of independent interest. Lastly, with the assistance of general Bloch-sphere representation, we show that learning quantum measurements/states can be mathematically formulated as a neural network. Consequently, classical ML algorithms can be applied to efficiently accomplish the two quantum learning tasks.

description: Economic stability is a social determinant of health that measures poverty and economic opportunity and establishes target objectives to reduce the proportion of people living in poverty. Female-headed households experience higher rates of poverty and food insecurity compared to other populations in Cleveland County, North Carolina (NC). The objective is to increase economic stability and food security among female-headed households in Cleveland County. This proposal describes a fruit and vegetable program that provides funds to women and children to improve diet quality and food security. Additionally, a tax support program will boost tax returns and tax credits received through the support of a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site. These two policies have the potential to increase economic stability and improve food security among female-headed households in Cleveland County, NC. The Cleveland County Government and Department of Health will lead these policies and will rely on the support of local partners.

description: Households in Cleveland County experience severe housing cost burden, which negatively 
impacts health and well-being. More importantly, vulnerable households who spend more than 30% of 
income on housing costs experience this burden at a greater severity. To combat housing cost burden, an 
Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCTs) intervention is proposed to support vulnerable families for two 
years. To effectively assess the impact of the UCTs, a quality of life and food security survey will be 
conducted before and after the program. Based on results from the Stockton Economic Empowerment 
Demonstration (SEED) project, which demonstrated the effectiveness of UCTs in Stockton California, it 
is hypothesized that participants will reduce depression, anxiety, and food insecurity and experience
higher quality of life, and more economic stability than at baseline. This intervention aims to show the 
effectiveness of UCT’s in positively impacting health outcomes while respecting the dignity and 
autonomy of community members.

Improvement of a Manual Assembly Process Using Lean Six Sigma: A Case Study on a Railway Modular Cabin at BFG International

description: The study conducted at BFG International aimed to improve the efficiency of their assembly line, focusing on one model of the modular cabins that they are producing that is suffering from cost overruns, high order quantities, and high man hours. The study used lean six sigma as the method to achieve its objectives. After conducting a thorough analysis, it was concluded that the bottlenecks in the assembly line are the pre-assembly station, final assembly, electrical, and plumbing. Based on specific criteria, the pre-assembly station was chosen to be as the focus of this study. A root cause analysis was conducted, which identified the potential causes of inefficiencies in the pre-assembly station. The study found that the undefined job sequence, inaccurate estimates when scheduling, and random delivery of materials were the main causes of inefficiencies. To improve the situation, three main suggestions were proposed, including a new job sequence based on the Greedy Algorithm, modified work instructions, and a new kitting list. The study finally proposed short and long-term recommendations and a brief implementation plan that can be followed after getting approval from the company. The proposed suggestions are expected to lead to a 30% reduction in the pre-assembly station cycle time and around $10,000 savings per labor in terms of man hour expenses for one cabin only.
 The study can be carried on to include other stations after re-evaluating the impact of these suggestions on other stations. The study can also serve as a basis for future studies for further improvements. The use of lean six sigma in the study demonstrates the importance of identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the assembly line and the benefits of using lean six sigma to optimize the process. By implementing the recommendations, BFG International can improve the efficiency of their assembly line, reduce costs, and increase their competitiveness in the market.

description: The Stoner-Wohlfarth model is a traditional and efficient tool to calculate magnetization curves and it can provides further insights on the fundamental physics associated to the magnetic properties and magnetization dynamics. Here, we perform a theoretical and experimental investigation of the quasi-static magnetic properties of anisotropic systems. We consider a theoretical approach which corresponds to a modified version of the Stoner-Wohlfarth model to describe anisotropic systems and a distribution function to express the magnetic anistropy dispersion. We propose a procedure to calculate the magnetic properties for the anisotropic case of the SW model from experimental results of the quadrature of magnetization curves, thus quantifying the magnetic anisotropy dispersion. To test the robustness of the approach, we apply the theoretical model to describe the quasi-static magnetic properties of amorphous FeCuNbSiB ferromagnetic films. We perform calculations and directly compare theoretical results with longitudinal and transverse magnetization curves measured for the films. Thus, our results provide experimental evidence to confirm the validity of the theoretical approach to describe the magnetic properties of anisotropic amorphous ferromagnetic films, revealed by the excellent agreement between numerical calculation and experimental results.

description: New integral field spectroscopy has been obtained for IZw18, the nearby lowest-metallicity galaxy considered our best local analog of systems forming at high-z. Here we report the spatially resolved spectral map of the nebular HeII4686 emission in IZw18, from which we derived for the first time its total HeII-ionizing flux. Nebular HeII emission implies the existence of a hard radiation field. HeII-emitters are observed to be more frequent among high-z galaxies than for local objects. So investigating the HeII-ionizing source(s) in IZw18 may reveal the ionization processes at high-z. HeII emission in star-forming galaxies, has been suggested to be mainly associated with Wolf-Rayet stars (WRs), but WRs cannot satisfactorily explain the HeII-ionization at all times, in particular at lowest metallicities. Shocks from supernova remnants, or X-ray binaries, have been proposed as additional potential sources of HeII-ionizing photons. Our data indicate that conventional HeII-ionizing sources (WRs, shocks, X-ray binaries) are not sufficient to explain the observed nebular HeII4686 emission in IZw18. We find that the HeII-ionizing radiation expected from models for either low-metallicity super-massive O stars or rotating metal-free stars could account for the HeII-ionization budget measured, while only the latter models could explain the highest values of HeII4686/Hbeta observed. The presence of such peculiar stars in IZw18 is suggestive and further investigation in this regard is needed. This letter highlights that some of the clues of the early Universe can be found here in our cosmic backyard.

description: The complexity of a quantum state may be closely related to the usefulness of the state for quantum computation. We discuss this link using the tree size of a multiqubit state, a complexity measure that has two noticeable (and, so far, unique) features: it is in principle computable, and non-trivial lower bounds can be obtained, hence identifying truly complex states. In this paper, we first review the definition of tree size, together with known results on the most complex three and four qubits states. Moving to the multiqubit case, we revisit a mathematical theorem for proving a lower bound on tree size that scales superpolynomially in the number of qubits. Next, states with superpolynomial tree size, the Immanant states, the Deutsch-Jozsa states, the Shor's states and the subgroup states, are described. We show that the universal resource state for measurement based quantum computation, the 2D-cluster state, has superpolynomial tree size. Moreover, we show how the complexity of subgroup states and the 2D cluster state can be verified efficiently. The question of how tree size is related to the speed up achieved in quantum computation is also addressed. We show that superpolynomial tree size of the resource state is essential for measurement based quantum computation. The necessary role of large tree size in the circuit model of quantum computation is still a conjecture; and we prove a weaker version of the conjecture.

description: The thermodynamic properties of DNA circular molecules are investigated by a new path integral computational method which treats in the real space the fundamental forces stabilizing the molecule. The base pair and stacking contributions to the classical action are evaluated separately by simulating a broad ensemble of twisted conformations. We obtain, for two short sequences, a free energy landscape with multiple wells corresponding to the most convenient values of helical repeat. Our results point to a intrinsic flexibility of the circular structures in which the base pair fluctuations move the system from one well to the next thus causing the local unwinding of the helix. The latter is more pronounced in the shorter sequence whose cyclization causes a higher bending stress. The entropic reductions associated to the formation of the ordered helicoidal structure are estimated.

Research alignment in the U.S. National Park Service: Impact of transformative science policy on the supply of scientific knowledge for protected area management

description: The US National Park System includes 63 national parks encompassing diverse environmental and tourism management regimes, together governed by the 1916 Organic Act and its dual mandate of conservation and provision of public enjoyment. However, with the introduction of transformative science policy mandates concentrated around the year 2000 (e.g., National Parks Omnibus Management Act; Natural Resources Challenge), the mission scope has since expanded to promote overarching science-based objectives, thereby fostering knowledge generation critical to park management, as well as promoting the “pristine” territory for “wild science” – as protected areas represent valuable counterfactuals to anthropogenic biomes. To this end, individual US national parks formally explicate itemized “need statements” representing targeted calls for science-based problem solving. Yet despite the paradigm shift instituting “science for parks, parks for science”, there is scant research exploring the impact of science policy on research alignment (i.e., supply-demand) in national parks. We address this gap by leveraging the clearly delineated and well-ordered attributes of the US national parks to develop a spatiotemporal framework for evaluating knowledge alignment, here operationalized via quantifiable measures of supply and demand for scientific knowledge. More specifically, we apply a machine learning algorithm (Latent Dirichlet analysis) to a comprehensive park-specific text corpus (combining official needs statements and scientific research metadata) in order to define a joint topic space, which thereby facilitates quantifying the direction and degree of knowledge alignment at both the park and systems levels. Additionally, we grouped topics into two categories — normative (overarching) and non-normative (idiosyncratic) — to facilitate assessing their differential response to the transformative science policy characterized as addressing normative issues such as air quality and wilderness. Results indicate an overall robust degree of knowledge alignment, with misaligned topics tending to be over-researched (as opposed to over-demanded), which may be favorable to many parks, but is inefficient from the park system perspective. Results further indicate that the transformative science policy exacerbated the over-supply of research in normative knowledge domains, manifesting in higher levels of misalignment. In light of these results, we argue for improved decision support mechanisms to achieve more timely alignment of research efforts towards distinctive park needs, thereby fostering convergent knowledge co-production and leveraging the full value of national parks as living laboratories.

description: A vertex $v\in V$ is said to resolve two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $d_G(v,x)\ne d_G(v,y)$. A set $S\subset V$ is said to be a metric generator for $G$ if any pair of vertices of $G$ is resolved by some element of $S$. A minimum metric generator is called a metric basis, and its cardinality, $\dim(G)$, the \emph{metric dimension} of $G$. A set $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a simultaneous metric generator for a graph family ${\cal G}=\{G_1,G_2,\ldots,G_k\}$, defined on a common (labeled) vertex set, if it is a metric generator for every graph of the family. A minimum cardinality simultaneous metric generator is called a simultaneous metric basis, and its cardinality the simultaneous metric dimension of ${\cal G}$. We obtain sharp bounds for this invariants for general families of graphs and calculate closed formulae or tight bounds for the simultaneous metric dimension of several specific graph families. For a given graph $G$ we describe a process for obtaining a lower bound on the maximum number of graphs in a family containing $G$ that has simultaneous metric dimension equal to $\dim(G)$. It is shown that the problem of finding the simultaneous metric dimension of families of trees is $NP$-hard. Sharp upper bounds for the simultaneous metric dimension of trees are established. The problem of finding this invariant for families of trees that can be obtained from an initial tree by a sequence of successive edge-exchanges is considered. For such families of trees sharp upper and lower bounds for the simultaneous metric dimension are established.

COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-

description: The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in new opportunities for telemedicine as a viable option for medical care in the United States, but its optimal use by medical providers often remains unachieved. Because the benefits of virtual care best come to patients through providers, internal communications campaigns need to engage providers in optimal telemedicine use. This qualitative study undertook in-depth interviews with medical communicators and providers from several healthcare systems to understand their experience of telemedicine adoption during COVID-19 and afterward. These interviews’ findings suggest that providers during the pandemic most often valued ease of use and efficiency in adopting virtual care technology, and that communicators primarily used an educational frame to engage them in that adoption. These findings then informed the creation of a guide of internal communications objectives to help future campaigns engage medical providers in their respective telemedicine use. In conclusion, both the research findings and the guide that they informed are only exploratory, and in time will need of further study to better understand the fast-developing needs of optimal telemedicine use.

description: We investigate Kähler metrics conformal to gradient Ricci solitons, and base metrics of warped product gradient Ricci solitons. The latter we name quasi-solitons. A main assumption that is employed is functional dependence of the soliton potential, with the conformal factor in the first case, and with the warping function in the second. The main result in the first case is a partial classification in dimension $n\geq 4$. In the second case, Kähler quasi-soliton metrics satisfying the above main assumption are shown to be, under an additional genericity hypothesis, necessarily Riemannian products. Another theorem concerns quasi-soliton metrics satisfying the above main assumption, which are also conformally Kähler. With some additional assumptions it is shown that such metrics are necessarily base metrics of Einstein warped products, that is, quasi-Einstein.

description: In this work we present IRAM-30m telescope observations of a sample of bulge-dominated galaxies with large dust lanes, which have had a recent minor merger. We find these galaxies are very gas rich, with H2 masses between 4x10^8 and 2x10^10 Msun. We use these molecular gas masses, combined with atomic gas masses from an accompanying paper, to calculate gas-to-dust and gas-to-stellar mass ratios. The gas-to-dust ratios of our sample objects vary widely (between ~50 and 750), suggesting many objects have low gas-phase metallicities, and thus that the gas has been accreted through a recent merger with a lower mass companion. We calculate the implied minor companion masses and gas fractions, finding a median predicted stellar mass ratio of ~40:1. The minor companion likely had masses between ~10^7 - 10^10 Msun. The implied merger mass ratios are consistent with the expectation for low redshift gas-rich mergers from simulations. We then go on to present evidence that (no matter which star-formation rate indicator is used) our sample objects have very low star-formation efficiencies (star-formation rate per unit gas mass), lower even than the early-type galaxies from ATLAS3D which already show a suppression. This suggests that minor mergers can actually suppress star-formation activity. We discuss mechanisms that could cause such a suppression, include dynamical effects induced by the minor merger.

description: Households in Cleveland County experience severe housing cost burden, which negatively impacts health and well-being. More importantly, vulnerable households who spend more than 30% of income on housing costs experience this burden at a greater severity. To combat housing cost burden, an Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCTs) intervention is proposed to support vulnerable families for two years. To effectively assess the impact of the UCTs, a quality of life and food security survey will be conducted before and after the program. Based on results from the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED) project, which demonstrated the effectiveness of UCTs in Stockton California, it is hypothesized that participants will reduce depression, anxiety, and food insecurity and experience higher quality of life, and more economic stability than at baseline. This intervention aims to show the effectiveness of UCT’s in positively impacting health outcomes while respecting the dignity and autonomy of community members.

description: Nonprofit organizations and higher education institutions cannot survive without private funding from donors. To keep donors “happy” and giving is referred to as donor relations or stewardship. As young donors begin to come to an age where they have accumulated wealth and have the capacity to make larger donation, current methods of communication will have to be reconsidered. Those who have not known a world without the internet and email have different expectations for communication. It is imperative to know how younger donors perceive stewardship and communications, determine current and advancing trends using digital communication in communicating with donors, and how those young donors prefer to receive communications regarding their philanthropy. The Arts and Sciences Foundation and any other nonprofit organization can benefit from the results of this study, implement changes to their current stewardship strategies and create new methods to enhance their donor relationships. As young donors of today are able to give at a high level, in combination with passing years and societal changes, their attitudes, perceptions and preferences shift. It is critically important to better understand this new generation of donors.
