description: Automatic note-level transcription is considered one of the most challenging tasks in music information retrieval. The specific case of flamenco singing transcription poses a particular challenge due to its complex melodic progressions, intonation inaccuracies, the use of a high degree of ornamentation and the presence of guitar accompaniment. In this study, we explore the limitations of existing state of the art transcription systems for the case of flamenco singing and propose a specific solution for this genre: We first extract the predominant melody and apply a novel contour filtering process to eliminate segments of the pitch contour which originate from the guitar accompaniment. We formulate a set of onset detection functions based on volume and pitch characteristics to segment the resulting vocal pitch contour into discrete note events. A quantised pitch label is assigned to each note event by combining global pitch class probabilities with local pitch contour statistics. The proposed system outperforms state of the art singing transcription systems with respect to voicing accuracy, onset detection and overall performance when evaluated on flamenco singing datasets.

description: Neural Architecture Search (NAS) is increasingly popular to automatically explore the accuracy versus computational complexity trade-off of Deep Learning (DL) architectures. When targeting tiny edge devices, the main challenge for DL deployment is matching the tight memory constraints, hence most NAS algorithms consider model size as the complexity metric. Other methods reduce the energy or latency of DL models by trading off accuracy and number of inference operations. Energy and memory are rarely considered simultaneously, in particular by low-search-cost Differentiable NAS (DNAS) solutions. We overcome this limitation proposing the first DNAS that directly addresses the most realistic scenario from a designer's perspective: the co-optimization of accuracy and energy (or latency) under a memory constraint, determined by the target HW. We do so by combining two complexity-dependent loss functions during training, with independent strength. Testing on three edge-relevant tasks from the MLPerf Tiny benchmark suite, we obtain rich Pareto sets of architectures in the energy vs. accuracy space, with memory footprints constraints spanning from 75% to 6.25% of the baseline networks. When deployed on a commercial edge device, the STM NUCLEO-H743ZI2, our networks span a range of 2.18x in energy consumption and 4.04% in accuracy for the same memory constraint, and reduce energy by up to 2.2x with negligible accuracy drop with respect to the baseline.

description: We propose an efficient and accurate parametric finite element method (PFEM) for solving sharp-interface continuum models for solid-state dewetting of thin films with anisotropic surface energies. The governing equations of the sharp-interface models belong to a new type of high-order (4th- or 6th-order) geometric evolution partial differential equations about open curve/surface interface tracking problems which include anisotropic surface diffusion flow and contact line migration. Compared to the traditional methods (e.g., marker-particle methods), the proposed PFEM not only has very good accuracy, but also poses very mild restrictions on the numerical stability, and thus it has significant advantages for solving this type of open curve evolution problems with applications in the simulation of solid-state dewetting. Extensive numerical results are reported to demonstrate the accuracy and high efficiency of the proposed PFEM.

description: The Bloch wave functions have been playing a crucial role in the diagnosis of topological phases in non-interacting systems. However, the Bloch waves are no longer applicable in the presence of finite Coulomb interaction and alternative approaches are needed to identify the topological indices. In this paper, we focus on three-dimensional higher-order topological insulators protected by $C_4T$ symmetry and show that the topological index can be computed through eigenstates of inverse Green's function at zero frequency. If there is an additional $S_4$ rotoinversion symmetry, the topological index $P_3$ can be determined by eigenvalues of $S_4$ at high symmetry momenta, similar to the Fu-Kane parity criterion. We verify this method using many-body exact diagonalization in higher-order topological insulators with interaction. We also discuss the realization of this higher-order topological phase in tetragonal lattice structure with $C_4T$-preserving magnetic order. Finally, we discuss the boundary conditions necessary for the hinge states to emerge and show that these hinge states exist even when the boundary is smooth and without a sharp hinge.
Acute Postoperative Pain in Patients Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy
Creators: name: Wang, Jacob
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Background: Lobectomy via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is becoming more widespread. However, to my knowledge, the postoperative pain experience of patients undergoing VATS lobectomy has never been described using methods that retain individual level data. In this paper, I assessed the acute postoperative pain experience of patients undergoing VATS lobectomy. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted to describe the acute postoperative pain experience of patients undergoing VATS lobectomy and to identify any known clinical or demographic characteristics that may predict this pain. Following this literature search, a retrospective chart review was performed for all adult patients who underwent VATS lobectomy at UNC Hospitals, a large academic center from 2003 to 2012. Demographic, clinical characteristics, and self-reported pain scores (0-10 numeric rating scale) during hospitalization were abstracted from the medical record. Pain scores ≥4 were classified as moderate or severe, and substantial pain was defined as ≥60% of pain ratings in the moderate or severe range during a particular time period. Pain outcomes were summarized using descriptive statistics and secondary analyses assessed the predictors of substantial postoperative pain. Results: Eight studies were identified in the systematic review. These studies found that patients experienced mild, moderate, and severe postoperative pain, but none found reliable predictors of postoperative pain and none described pain experiences using individual level data. The chart review found ninety-three patients who underwent VATS lobectomy during the study period and had pain scores available for review in their medical records. One in two patients experienced substantial postoperative pain on the day of surgery, two in five had substantial postoperative pain the following day, and one in four had substantial postoperative pain for the overall hospitalization. Commonly available clinical and demographic characteristics were poor predictors of substantial postoperative pain. Conclusion: These preliminary data suggest that substantial postoperative pain is common in patients undergoing VATS lobectomy. More studies of postoperative pain outcomes in VATS lobectomy patients using methods that retain individual level data are needed.

description: This note reports partial results related to the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) conjecture for the joint distribution of traces of Wishart matrices. In particular, several GPI-related results from Wei (2014) and Liu et al. (2015) are extended in two ways: by replacing the power functions with more general classes of functions, and by replacing the usual Gaussian and multivariate gamma distributional assumptions by the more general trace-Wishart distribution assumption. These findings suggest that a Kronecker product form of the GPI holds for diagonal blocks of any Wishart distribution.

description: Temperature and fluence dependence of the 1.55-eV optical transient reflectivity in BaFe$_{2}$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_{2}$ was measured and analysed in the low and high excitation density limit. The effective magnitude of the superconducting gap of $\sim 5$ meV obtained from the low-fluence-data bottleneck model fit is consistent with the ARPES results for the $γ$-hole Fermi surface. The superconducting-state nonthermal optical destruction energy was determined from the fluence dependent data. The in-plane optical destruction energy scales well with T$_{\mathrm{c}}^{2}$ and is found to be similar in a number of different layered superconductors.

description: The spectrum of nucleons and their parity partners is studied as a function of temperature spanning the deconfinement transition. We analyse our results using the correlation functions directly, exponential fits in the hadronic phase, and the Maximum Entropy Method. These techniques all indicate that there is degeneracy in the parity partners' channels in the deconfined phase. This is in accordance with the expectation that there is parity doubling and chiral symmetry in the deconfined phase. In the hadronic phase, we also find that the nucleon ground state is largely independent of temperature, whereas there are substantial temperature effects in the negative parity channel. All results are obtained using our FASTSUM 2+1 flavour ensembles.

description: We continue investigating the superintegrability property of matrix models, i.e. factorization of the matrix model averages of characters. This paper focuses on the Gaussian Hermitian example, where the role of characters is played by the Schur functions. We find a new intriguing corollary of superintegrability: factorization of an infinite set of correlators bilinear in the Schur functions. More exactly, these are correlators of products of the Schur functions and polynomials $K_Δ$ that form a complete basis in the space of invariant matrix polynomials. Factorization of these correlators with a small subset of these $K_Δ$ follow from the fact that the Schur functions are eigenfunctions of the generalized cut-an-join operators, but the full set of $K_Δ$ is generated by another infinite commutative set of operators, which we manifestly describe.

description: Removing a single photon from a pulse is one of the most elementary operations that can be performed on light, having both fundamental significance and practical applications in quantum communication and computation. So far, photon subtraction, in which the removed photon is detected and therefore irreversibly lost, has been implemented in a probabilistic manner with inherently low success rates using low-reflectivity beam splitters. Here we demonstrate a scheme for the deterministic extraction of a single photon from an incoming pulse. The removed photon is diverted to a different mode, enabling its use for other purposes, such as a photon number-splitting attack on quantum key distribution protocols. Our implementation makes use of single-photon Raman interaction (SPRINT) with a single atom near a nanofibre-coupled microresonator. The single-photon extraction probability in our current realization is limited mostly by linear loss, yet probabilities close to unity should be attainable with realistic experimental parameters.

description: Metasurfaces have been extensively engineered to produce a wide range of optical phenomena, allowing unprecedented control over the propagation of light. However, they are generally designed as single-purpose devices without a modifiable post-fabrication optical response, which can be a limitation to real-world applications. In this work, we report a nanostructured planar fused silica metalens permeated with a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and gold nanoparticle solution. The physical properties of embedded NLCs can be manipulated with the application of external stimuli, enabling reconfigurable optical metasurfaces. We report all-optical, dynamic control of the metalens optical response resulting from thermo-plasmonic induced changes of the NLC solution associated with the nematic-isotropic phase transition. A continuous and reversible tuning of the metalens focal length is experimentally demonstrated, with a variation of 80 um (0.16% of the 5 cm nominal focal length) along the optical axis. This is achieved without direct mechanical or electrical manipulation of the device. The reconfigurable properties are compared with corroborating numerical simulations of the focal length shift and exhibit close correspondence.

description: We present a new determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{\rm cb}|$ by using the three-loop perturbative QCD corrections for the $B\to D^{\ast}$ semi-leptonic decay. The decay width of $B\to D^{\ast}$ semi-leptonic decay can be factorized as perturbatively calculable short-distance part and the non-perturbative but universal long-distance part. We adopt the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) single-scale setting approach to deal with the perturbative series so as to achieve a precise fixed-order prediction for the short-distance parameter $η_{A}$. By applying the PMC, an overall effective $α_s$ value is achieved by recursively using the renormalization group equation, which inversely results in a precise scale-invariant pQCD series. Such scale-invariant series also provides a reliable basis for predicting the contributions from uncalculated perturbative terms. We then obtain $η_{A}=0.9225^{+0.0117}_{-0.0168}$, where the error is the squared average of those from $Δα_{s}(M_Z)=\pm0.0010$ and the uncertainties caused by the uncalculated higher-order perturbative terms. By using the data of $B\to D^{\ast}\ell\barν_{\ell}$, we finally obtain $|V_{\rm cb}|_{\rm PMC} =(40.60^{+0.53}_{-0.57})\times10^{-3}$, which is consistent with the PDG value within errors.

description: We present an extension of the ROMA map-making algorithm for the generation of optimal cosmic microwave background polarization maps. The new code allows for a possible cross-correlated noise component among the detectors of a CMB experiment. A promising application is the forthcoming LSPE balloon-borne experiment, which is devoted to the accurate observation of CMB polarization at large angular scales. We generalized the noise covariance matrix in time domain to account for all the off-diagonal terms due to the detector cross-talk. Hence, we performed preliminary forecasts of the LSPE-SWIPE instrument. We found that considering the noise cross-correlation among the detectors results in a more realistic estimate of the angular power spectra. In particular, the extended ROMA algorithm has provided a considerable reduction of the spectra error bars. We expect that this improvement could be crucial in constraining the B-mode polarization at the largest scales.

description: Space-charge effects are of great importance in particle accelerator physics. In the computational modeling, tree-based methods are increasingly used because of their effectiveness in handling non-uniform particle distributions and/or complex geometries. However, they are often formulated using an electrostatic force which is only a good approximation for low energy particle beams. For high energy, i.e., relativistic particle beams, the relativistic interaction kernel may need to be considered and the conventional treecode fails in this scenario. In this work, we formulate a treecode based on Lagrangian interpolation for computing the relativistic space-charge field. Two approaches are introduced to control the interpolation error. In the first approach, a modified admissibility condition is proposed for which the treecode can be used directly in the lab-frame. The second approach is based on the transformation of the particle beam to the rest-frame where the conventional admissibility condition can be used. Numerical simulation results using both methods will be compared and discussed.

description: A new class of models of stellar discs is introduced and used to build a self-consistent model of our Galaxy. The model is defined by the parameters that specify the action-based distribution functions (DFs) f(J) of four stellar discs (three thin-disc age cohorts and a thick disc), spheroidal bulge and spheroidal stellar and dark haloes. From these DFs plus a specified distribution of gas, we solve for the densities of stars and dark matter and the potential they generate. The principal observational constraints are the kinematics of stars with Gaia RVS data and the density of stars in the column above the Sun. The model predicts the density and kinematics of stars and dark matter throughout the Galaxy. We determine the structure of the dark halo prior to the infall of baryons. A simple extension of the DFs of stellar components to include chemistry allows the model to reproduce the way the Galaxy's chemistry is observed to vary in the (R,z) plane. Surprisingly, the data indicate that high-alpha stars are confined to orbits with J_z >~ 50 kpc km/s. The code used to create the model is available on Github.

Safety of Furosemide in Premature Infants:  A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Jackson, Wesley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Introduction: Furosemide is a potent loop diuretic commonly and variably used by neonatologists to improve oxygenation and lung compliance in premature infants despite its lack of Food and Drug Administration approval for use in premature infants.  It lacks FDA approval because of safety concerns, specifically the risk of hearing loss and nephrocalcinosis/nephrolithiasis (NC/NL). I conducted a systematic review of all trials and observational studies examining the association of these safety outcomes with exposure to furosemide in premature infants.  Methods: I searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and clinicaltrials.gov.  Included studies reported on the outcomes of sensorineural hearing loss or NC/NL in premature infants (< 37 weeks completed gestational age) who received at least one dose of enteral or intravenous furosemide. I abstracted all selected studies and assessed quality based on the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for randomized trials and the ROBINS-1 tool for observational studies. I assigned a grade for the strength of evidence for each key question using guidelines developed by the Evidence-based Practice Center program of the U.S.  Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.Results: I identified 390 titles, 165 of which met criteria for a full-text review. Thirty studies met full inclusion criteria for the review, including 11 studies examining hearing loss and 19 studies examining NC/NL. Only one randomized controlled trial was included in this review. I found mixed results for the association of hearing loss and NC/NL with furosemide exposure, with varying quality of studies. I determined the strength of evidence for both outcomes to be low. The most common limitation in these studies was the lack of control for confounding factors which are independently associated with the outcomes of interest.Conclusions: The evidence for the risk of hearing loss and NC/NL in premature infants exposed to furosemide is low. Further randomized controlled trials of furosemide in premature infants are urgently needed to adequately assess the risk of hearing loss and NC/NL, provide evidence for improved FDA labeling, and promote safer prescription practices.

subject: Other health sciences not elsewhere classified

description: In the contemporary digital age, the healthcare sector is inundated with a plethora of data, emanating from various sources such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), wearable devices, and telemedicine platforms. The management, security, and efficient utilization of this data present a formidable challenge, especially considering the stringent regulatory and ethical standards governing healthcare data. This research explores an innovative concoction, blending the robustness of JavaBeans with the immutable and decentralized nature of blockchain technology, aiming to optimize healthcare data management. The study delves into the development of a secure, scalable, and interoperable data management system that ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of healthcare data, while also facilitating seamless data sharing among authorized entities. Through the integration of Java and blockchain technology, this research seeks to navigate through the complexities of healthcare data management, providing a platform that not only adheres to regulatory compliance but also enhances the quality of healthcare delivery. The proposed system leverages the object-oriented and platform-independent features of Java, coupled with the secure and transparent attributes of blockchain, to establish a healthcare data management system that is secure, user-friendly, and adaptable to the evolving healthcare landscape. This research encompasses the systems design, development, implementation, and evaluation, providing insights into its efficacy, challenges encountered, and potential for future adaptations and scalability in the ever-dynamic healthcare domain.
From Hybrid to CMOS Pixels ... a possibility for LHC's pixel future?
Creators: name: Wermes, Norbert

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Hybrid pixel detectors have been invented for the LHC to make tracking and vertexing possible at all in LHC's radiation intense environment. The LHC pixel detectors have meanwhile very successfully fulfilled their promises and R\&D for the planned HL-LHC upgrade is in full swing, targeting even higher ionising doses and non-ionising fluences. In terms of rate and radiation tolerance hybrid pixels are unrivaled. But they have disadvantages as well, most notably material thickness, production complexity, and cost. Meanwhile also active pixel sensors (DEPFET, MAPS) have become real pixel detectors but they would by far not stand the rates and radiation faced from HL-LHC. New MAPS developments, so-called DMAPS (depleted MAPS) which are full CMOS-pixel structures with charge collection in a depleted region have come in the R\&D focus for pixels at high rate/radiation levels. This goal can perhaps be realised exploiting HV technologies, high ohmic substrates and/or SOI based technologies. The paper covers the main ideas and some encouraging results from prototyping R\&D, not hiding the difficulties.

Violence in the Workplace: Impact on Workers and Employers and the Role of the Occupational and Environmental Health Nurse
Creators: name: Best, Jennifer M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Violence in the workplace was virtually unheard of until the 1970s. However, violent events have been associated with work throughout human history and have grown in complexity as civilizations have become more advanced (Peek-Asa, 2001, p. 109). Societal exposure to all kinds of violence is much more frequent than previous decades due to news broadcasts, movies, video games, television, and books that portray violence vividly (Phillips, 2007). Workplace violence creates a ripple impact causing physical, psychological, and financial problems to victims, co-workers, families, businesses, and others in the community. Employees have a right to expect a work environment that provides protection and promotes safety from harassment, threats, and violence. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) of 1970 ensures every worker a workplace free from known hazards (Peek-Asa, 2001, p. 109). Violence remains the fourth leading cause of worker deaths, but is now at its lowest annual total in the history of the government's annual census according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2006). Part of this downward trend in workplace homicides has been due to employers taking a proactive approach in implementing plans and procedures that address potential violent incidents. The occupational and environmental health nurse (OEHN) is in a unique professional position to provide information, leadership skills, and practical tools to management and employees to combat workplace violence. The OEHN has knowledge of evidence-based approaches and functions as a liaison with a multidisciplinary team to develop, manage, implement, and evaluate primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies.

description: We have carried out concurrent optical frequency measurements of the $(6s^{2})\,^{1}S_{0} -(6s6p)\,^{3}P_{1}$ ($F=\frac{3}{2}$) and $(6s^{2})\,^{1}S_{0} -(6s6p)\,^{3}P_{0}$ transitions in $^{171}$Yb, and in so doing have determined the frequency separation between the $^{3}P_{0}$ ($F=\frac{1}{2}$) and $^{3}P_{1}$ ($F=\frac{3}{2}$) levels with an uncertainty in the ppb range. The knowledge of this frequency interval will aid experiments relying on the $^{1}S_{0}-\,^{3}P_{0}$ line in $^{171}$Yb and $^{173}$Yb without access to highly accurate frequency standards.
