description: Supernova 1978K is one of the oldest-known examples of the class of Type IIn supernovae that show evidence for strong interaction between the blast wave and a dense, pre-existing circumstellar medium. Here we report detections of SN 1978K at both 34 GHz and 94 GHz, making it only the third extragalactic supernova (after SN 1987A and SN 1996cr) to be detected at late-times at these frequencies. We find SN 1978K to be >400 times more luminous than SN 1987A at millimetre wavelengths in spite of the roughly nine year difference in ages, highlighting the risk in adopting SN 1987A as a template for the evolution of core-collapse supernovae in general. Additionally, from new VLBI observations at 8.4 GHz, we measure a deconvolved diameter for SN 1978K of ~5 milli-arcsec, and a corresponding average expansion velocity of <1500 km/s. These observations provide independent evidence of an extremely dense circumstellar medium surrounding the progenitor star.

description: Layered-oxide $\mathrm{LiNi_xMn_yCo_{1-x-y}O_2}$ (NMC) positive electrodes with high Nickel content, deliver high voltages and energy densities. However, a high nickel content, e.g., $x$ = 0.8 (NMC 811), can lead to high surface reactivity, which can trigger thermal runaway and gas generation. While claimed safer, all-solid-state batteries still suffer from high interfacial resistance. Here, we investigate niobate and tantalate coating materials, which can mitigate the interfacial reactivities in Li-ion and all-solid-state batteries. First-principles calculations reveal the multiphasic nature of Li-Nb-O and Li-Ta-O coatings, containing mixtures of $\mathrm{LiNbO_3}$ and $\mathrm{Li_3NbO_4}$, or of $\mathrm{LiTaO_3}$ and $\mathrm{Li_3TaO_4}$. The concurrence of several phases in Li-Nb-O or Li-Ta-O modulates the type of stable native defects in these coatings. Li-Nb-O and Li-Ta-O coating materials can form favorably lithium vacancies $\mathrm{Vac^{'}_{Li}}$ and antisite defects $\mathrm{Nb^{\bullet \bullet \bullet \bullet}_{Li}}$ ($\mathrm{Ta^{\bullet \bullet \bullet \bullet}_{Li}}$) combined into charge-neutral defect complexes. Even in defective crystalline $\mathrm{LiNbO_3}$ (or $\mathrm{LiTaO_3}$), we reveal poor Li-ion conduction properties. In contrast, $\mathrm{Li_3NbO_4}$ and $\mathrm{Li_3TaO_4}$ that are introduced by high-temperature calcinations can provide adequate Li-ion transport in these coatings. Our in-depth investigation of the structure-property relationships in the important Li-Nb-O and Li-Ta-O coating materials helps to develop more suitable calcination protocols to maximize the functional properties of these niobates and tantalates.

description: Цель исследования заключалась в получении данных о содержании азота в воде, поступающей с сельскохозяйственных угодий в мелиоративную сеть, а затем в крупный водный объект реку Луга. Исследование проводилось в 2019 году на территории крупного сельскохозяйственного предприятия молочного направления, расположенного в Лужском районе Ленинградской области. Были получены данные об изменении содержания азота в водотоке мелиоративной канавы, служащей водосбором с прилегающих сельскохозяйственных угодий, в весенний, летний и осенний период 2019 года. Содержание азота определяли методом Кьельдаля. Полученные данные показали разное содержание азота в воде в разных точках отбора и в разное время года. Так для проб, отобранных в весенний период, было характерно увеличение содержания азота вниз по течению канавы от 1,85 мг/дм3 в точке 2, находящейся выше по течению, до 2,45 мг/дм3 в точке 4, располагающейся вниз по течению на расстоянии 875 метров от точки 2. В летний период была характерна следующая закономерность: содержание азота увеличивалось от точки 2 с 2,10 и 2,75 мг/дм3 к точке 3, в которой достигало значения 3,45 и 3,87 мг/дм3, а затем опять снижалось в точке 4 до 3,10 и 2,90 мг/дм3. В осенний период прослеживалась закономерность уменьшения содержания азота вниз по течению канавы. Так, 26.09.2019 содержание азота в точке 1 составляло 3,50 мг/дм3, затем снижалось до 3,15 мг/дм3 в точке 2 и до 2,45 мг/дм3 в точках 3 и 4. Аналогичные данные были отмечены 23.10.2019: содержание азота в первой точке составляло 4,90 мг/дм3, затем снижалось во второй и третьей точке до 1,75 и 2,45 мг/дм3 соответственно, и достигало 1,40 мг/дм3 в четвёртой точке (при фоновом содержании 0,91 мг/дм3). Исследования подтвердили влияние сельскохозяйственных угодий на водные объекты, а также различие в содержании азота по ходу течения водотока в зависимости от сезона.

description: Laser-driven collisonless electrostatic shock formation and the subsequent ion acceleration have been studied in near critical density plasmas. Particle-in-cell simulations show that both the speed of laser-driven collisionless electrostatic shock and the energies of shock-accelerated ions can be greatly enhanced due to fast laser propagation in near critical density plasmas. However, a response time longer than tens of laser wave cycles is required before the shock formation in a near critical density plasma, in contrast to the quick shock formation in a highly overdense target. More important, we find that some ions can be reflected by the collisionless shock even if the electrostatic potential jump across the shock is smaller than the ion kinetic energy in the shock frame, which seems against the conventional ion-reflection condition. These anomalous ion reflections are attributed to the strongly time-oscillating electric field accompanying laser-driven collisionless shock in a near critical density plasma.

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: The effect of a cardiac education program in terms of changes in knowledge, state anxiety and stress were examined for persons suffering a myocardial infarction for the first time. In addition, the relationship between stress and trait anxiety and changes in knowledge and state anxiety were examined. A sample of 20 patients were selected from two medium sized hospitals in Southeastern Virginia. Statistically significant differences at the .01 level were found between the means of the pretest and posttest scores of the experimental group for knowledge and state anxiety using the t test for dependent groups. The same test showed no significant difference between pretest and posttest scores of levels of stress- for the experimental group or for knowledge, state anxiety or stress for the control group. Pearson's product moment correlation analysis indicated that r =-.65 for the relationship between changes in knowledge and state anxiety for the combined experimental and control group and r =.76 for the relationship between stress and trait anxiety for both groups, the later indicating that a more state oriented instrument might have been more appropriate for use in a short-term evaluative context.

description: The design of unknown-input decoupled observers and filters requires the assumption of an existence condition in the literature. This paper addresses an unknown input filtering problem where the existence condition is not satisfied. Instead of designing a traditional unknown input decoupled filter, a Double-Model Adaptive Estimation approach is extended to solve the unknown input filtering problem. It is proved that the state and the unknown inputs can be estimated and decoupled using the extended Double-Model Adaptive Estimation approach without satisfying the existence condition. Numerical examples are presented in which the performance of the proposed approach is compared to methods from literature.
description: This paper has been accepted by Automatica. It considers unknown input estimation or fault and disturbances estimation. Existing approaches considers the case where the effects of fault and disturbance can be decoupled. In our paper, we consider the case where the effects of fault and disturbance are coupled. This approach can be easily extended to nonlinear systems

description: Modern mobile devices are able to provide context-aware and personalized services to the users, by leveraging on their sensing capabilities to infer the activity and situation in which a person is currently involved. Current solutions for context-recognition rely on annotated data and expertsâ€™ knowledge to predict the user context. In addition, their prediction ability is strongly limited to the set of situations considered during the model training or definition. However, in a mobile environment, the user context continuously evolves, and it cannot be merely restricted to a set of predefined classes. To overcome these limitations, we propose COMPASS, a novel unsupervised and online clustering algorithm aimed at identifying the user context in mobile environments based on the stream of high-dimensional data generated by smartphone sensors. COMPASScan distinguish an arbitrary number of userâ€™s contexts from the sensorsâ€™ data, without defining a priori the collection of expected situations. This key feature makes it a general-purpose solution to provide context-aware features to mobile devices, supporting a broad set of applications. Experimental results on 18 synthetic and 2 real-world datasets show that COMPASS correctly identifies the user context from the sensorsâ€™ data stream, and outperforms the state-of-the-art solutions in terms of both clusters configuration and purity. Eventually, we evaluate its performances in terms of execution time and the results show that COMPASS can process 1000 high-dimensional samples in less than 20 seconds, while the reference solutions require about 60 minutes to evaluate the entire dataset.

description: We consider super-Earth sized planets which have a water mass fraction that is large enough to form an external mantle composed of high pressure water ice polymorphs and that lack a substantial H/He atmosphere. We consider such planets in their habitable zone so that their outermost condensed mantle is a global deep liquid ocean. For these ocean planets we investigate potential internal reservoirs of CO2; the amount of CO2 dissolved in the ocean for the various saturation conditions encountered, and the ocean-atmosphere exchange flux of CO2. We find that in steady state the abundance of CO2 in the atmosphere has two possible states. When the wind-driven circulation is the dominant CO2 exchange mechanism, an atmosphere of tens of bars of CO2 results, where the exact value depends on the subtropical ocean surface temperature and the deep ocean temperature. When sea-ice formation, acting on these planets as a CO2 deposition mechanism, is the dominant exchange mechanism, an atmosphere of a few bars of CO2 is established. The exact value depends on the subpolar surface temperature. Our results suggest the possibility of a negative feedback mechanism, unique to water planets, where a reduction in the subpolar temperature drives more CO2 into the atmosphere to increase the greenhouse effect.

description: We present an open source slow control system for small and medium scale projects. Thanks to its modular and flexible design, where the various instruments are read and controlled by independent plugins, Doberman (Detector OBsERving and Monitoring ApplicatioN) can be quickly adapted for many applications, also making use of existing code or proprietary components. The system uses a SQL database to store the data from the instruments and provides an online application to display and browse through the data. It allows the modification of device settings while the program is running and features a protocol to handle exceptions, including the automated distribution of alarm messages. We present two case studies from astroparticle physics, on which Doberman is successfully deployed: a low-background screening facility installed in a remote underground laboratory and a detector R&D platform using cryogenic liquid xenon.

description: As the interior density of a neutron star can become very high, it has been expected and discussed that quark matter may exist inside it. To describe the transition from hadron to quark phases (and vice versa), there are mainly two methods; one is the first-order phase transition, and the other is the crossover phenomenon. In the present study, using the flavor-SU (3) NJL model with the vector coupling interaction, we have calculated the equation of state for the quark phase at high density. Furthermore, for the hadron phase at low density, we have used two kinds of the equations of state; one is a relatively soft one by the QHD model, and the other is a stiff one calculated with relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation. Using those equations of state for the two phases, we have investigated the influence of various choices of parameters concerning the crossover region on the mass and radius of a neutron star.

description: Numerical data imputation algorithms replace missing values by estimates to leverage incomplete data sets. Current imputation methods seek to minimize the error between the unobserved ground truth and the imputed values. But this strategy can create artifacts leading to poor imputation in the presence of multimodal or complex distributions. To tackle this problem, we introduce the $k$NN$\times$KDE algorithm: a data imputation method combining nearest neighbor estimation ($k$NN) and density estimation with Gaussian kernels (KDE). We compare our method with previous data imputation methods using artificial and real-world data with different data missing scenarios and various data missing rates, and show that our method can cope with complex original data structure, yields lower data imputation errors, and provides probabilistic estimates with higher likelihood than current methods. We release the code in open-source for the community: https://github.com/DeltaFloflo/knnxkde

Year: 1985

description: This study explored the effect of blood glucose self-monitoring on two dependent variables: (a) the diabetic client's self-esteem, and (b) the diabetic client's ability to apply knowledge about diabetes mellitus. The sample consisted of two groups of adult Type I diabetic clients. Group I consisted of ten clients who had been performing blood glucose self-monitoring for at least one year, and group II consisted of ten clients who had been performing urine testing for at least one year. A questionnaire was utilized which included: (a) a demographic data sheet, (b) a diabetic knowledge tool, and (c) a self-esteem tool. The results showed that there were no significant differences in self-esteem between groups. However, there were significant differences between groups in the application of knowledge of diabetes mellitus as evidenced by the achievement of higher scores on the knowledge tool in group I.

description: Automated vehicles (AVs) will change the way in which we navigate and experience the city. While mass adoption of AVs will depend on consumer acceptance and viable, sustainable business models, it will be important for planners and policymakers to monitor travel behavior and consumer acceptance levels. Evidence from focus groups conducted with residents from the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) suggests that it is essential for planners to understand human decision-making and habit formation processes in order to appropriately develop policies for an automated future.
description: Les véhicules automatisés (VA) transformeront la façon dont nous nous déplaçons et vivons l’expérience d’une ville. Bien que leur adoption généralisée dépende de la faveur du public et de modèles économiques viables, il importera pour les urbanistes et les décideurs politiques de surveiller les comportements de déplacement et le degré d’acceptation par le public. Les résultats de groupes de consultation auprès de résidents de la région du Grand Toronto et de Hamilton (RGTH) portent à croire qu’il est essentiel pour les planificateurs de comprendre les processus décisionnels et de formation d’habitudes des humains pour élaborer des politiques en vue d’un avenir de plus en plus automatisé.

description: Distributed deep learning (DDL) is a promising research area, which aims to increase the efficiency of training deep learning tasks with large size of datasets and models. As the computation capability of DDL nodes continues to increase, the network connection between nodes is becoming a major bottleneck. Various methods of gradient compression and improved model synchronization have been proposed to address this bottleneck in Parameter-Server-based DDL. However, these two types of methods can result in accuracy loss due to discarded gradients and have limited enhancement on the throughput of model synchronization, respectively. To address these challenges, we propose a new model synchronization method named Overlapped Synchronization Parallel (OSP), which achieves efficient communication with a 2-stage synchronization approach and uses Local-Gradient-based Parameter correction (LGP) to avoid accuracy loss caused by stale parameters. The prototype of OSP has been implemented using PyTorch and evaluated on commonly used deep learning models and datasets with a 9-node testbed. Evaluation results show that OSP can achieve up to 50\% improvement in throughput without accuracy loss compared to popular synchronization models.

description: Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have the highest incidence and prevalence of AA compared to other regions of the world. Previous studies report data from other geographic regions, with an absence of the LAC perspective due to the high number of new cases. In this article, we present a case report with a systematic review of literature of patients with left-sided AA in LAC.We conducted a systematic electronic search in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar trough to August 1st, 2023. In order to integrate regional databases into the search we include LILACS (Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud), Dialnet, Redalyc and Scielo for identification of studies about our interest. While using Google Scholar, the numbers of results were limited to only the first 10 pages in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. We used the terms of "appendictis" AND "left" AND "Latin America".

description: Bead-rod-spring models are the foundation of the kinetic theory of polymer solutions. We derive the diffusion equation for the probability density function of the configuration of a general bead-rod-spring model in short-correlated Gaussian random flows. Under isotropic conditions, we solve this equation analytically for the elastic rhombus model introduced by Curtiss, Bird, and Hassager [Adv. Chem. Phys. 35 (1976), pp. 31-117].

description: Historically, scientific research has been led by and focused on
 males, and in the case of research with human beings, these were
 traditionally white men. The introduction of Artificial
 Intelligence (AI) in precision medicine has proven that these
 practices were discriminating for minorities, and more
 specifically for women. Sex and gender biases are found at all
 stages of the AI lifecylce, from design to data acquisition,
 deployment and use. To move towards a fair development of new
 technologies, it is essential to include sex and gender diversity
 both at workplace and in research practices. In this context, the
 Bioinfo4Women (B4W) program of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center
 works in three axes: (i) promote the participation of women
 scientists by improving their visibility, (ii) foster
 international collaborations between institutions and programs and
 (iii) advance research on sex and gender bias in AI and health.
 This poster introduces the objectives of the B4W research working
 group and the first two actions taken in 2021: (i) Raise awareness
 about sex and gender differences in healthcare and biases in
 biomedical research and AI through a series of conferences and
 open debate between scientific community and society; (ii) Build
 best practices for biomedical dataset creation and use as a result
 of a qualitative and quantitative analysis done at the Elixir
 BioHackathon 2021. These initial steps are fundamental to
 guarantee the scientific quality of the results and impact in
 society and to develop a science of excellence.

description: Quantum position verification (QPV) is the art of verifying the geographical location of an untrusted party. Recently, it has been shown that the widely studied Bennett & Brassard 1984 (BB84) QPV protocol is insecure after the 3 dB loss point assuming local operations and classical communication (LOCC) adversaries. Here, we propose a time-reversed entanglement swapping QPV protocol (based on measurement-device-independent quantum cryptography) that is highly robust against quantum channel loss. First, assuming ideal qubit sources, we show that the protocol is secure against LOCC adversaries for any quantum channel loss, thereby overcoming the 3 dB loss limit. Then, we analyze the security of the protocol in a more practical setting involving weak laser sources and linear optics. In this setting, we find that the security only degrades by an additive constant and the protocol is able to verify positions up to 47 dB channel loss.

Subjects: subject: Population aging--Ontario

description: For the first time ever, Canadian seniors outnumber youth. In this article we examine the extent of current, and projected, aging in Ontario’s municipalities. We assess if, and to what extent, local municipal governments have begun to plan for older adults. We find that senior dependency is expected to rise in every Ontario municipality. Small municipalities are particularly vulnerable as they are expected to experience the most severe aging and are least likely to have initiated community age-friendly planning.
description: Pour la première fois dans l’histoire du Canada, les aînés sont plus nombreux que les jeunes. Dans cet article, nous examinons l’étendue du vieillissement actuel et prévu dans les municipalités de l’Ontario. Nous évaluons si, et dans quelle mesure, les municipalités ont commencé à planifier en prévision de la population vieillissante. Nous constatons que le nombre d’aînés à charge devrait augmenter dans toutes les municipalités de l’Ontario. Les petites municipalités sont particulièrement vulnérables, car elles devraient enregistrer un pourcentage de vieillissement important, et elles n’ont probablement pas lancé de processus de planification de collectivités favorables aux aînés.

description: As a specific category of artificial intelligence (AI), generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) generates new content that resembles what is created by humans. The rapid development of GenAI systems has created a huge amount of new data on the Internet, posing new challenges to current computing and communication frameworks. Currently, GenAI services rely on the traditional cloud computing framework due to the need for large computation resources. However, such services will encounter high latency because of data transmission and a high volume of requests. On the other hand, edge-cloud computing can provide adequate computation power and low latency at the same time through the collaboration between edges and the cloud. Thus, it is attractive to build GenAI systems at scale by leveraging the edge-cloud computing paradigm. In this overview paper, we review recent developments in GenAI and edge-cloud computing, respectively. Then, we use two exemplary GenAI applications to discuss technical challenges in scaling up their solutions using edge-cloud collaborative systems. Finally, we list design considerations for training and deploying GenAI systems at scale and point out future research directions.

description: In this article, we present a systematic study of the critical behavior of phase oscillators with multiplicative noise from a thermodynamic equilibrium approach. We have already presented the thermodynamics of phase noise oscillators and mapped out in detail the behavior of free energy, entropy, and specific heat in a previous work [P. D. Pinto, F.A. Oliveira, A.L.A. Penna, Phys. Rev. E 93, 052220 (2016)], in which we also introduced the concept of synchronization field. This proved to be important in order to understand the effect of multiplicative noise in the synchronization of the system. Using this approach, our aim is now to study analytically the critical behavior of this system from which we derive a fluctuation-dissipation relation as well as the critical exponents associated with the order parameter, specific heat, and susceptibility. We show that the exponents obey the Rushbrooke and Widom scaling laws.
title: A Study of Loneliness and Health Related Complaints in Residents of High Rise Apartment Buildings for the Elderly
Creators: name: Jones, Susan H.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1984

description: The purpose of this study was to explore feelings of loneliness among relocated elderly residents of age-segregated, high-rise apartment buildings and any relationship between these subjective feelings of loneliness and certain variables which were hypothesized as predictors of feelings of loneliness. The variables studied in relation to loneliness were cathectic investment, activity, and perceptions of health. A non-experimental survey design where data were collected by interviewing subjects was used. The sample consisted of 18 female residents of a high-rise apartment building for the elderly. Each was interviewed using the Loneliness Rating Scale developed by Dr. Gloria M. Francis and a Health Information Questionnaire. No significant correlations were found between loneliness and the three variables; cathectic investment~ activity, and perceptions of health. However, there were indications that further refinement of the cathectic investment portion of the tool and the development of a specific tool for evaluating activity might yield more significant results.
