Kibble-Zurek scaling in quantum speed limits for shortcuts to adiabaticity
(2020-06-08)Geometric quantum speed limits quantify the trade-off between the rate with which quantum states can change and the resources that are expended during the evolution. Counterdiabatic driving is a unique tool from shortcuts ... -
Comparison of Local Powers of Some Exact Tests for a Common Normal Mean with Unequal Variances
(United States Census Bureau, 2020-05-20)The inferential problem of drawing inference about a common mean µ of several independent normal populations with unequal variances has drawn universal attention, and there are many exact tests for testing a null hypothesis ... -
Tolerance limits under zero‐inflated lognormal and gamma distributions
(Wiley, 2020-05-28)The computation of upper tolerance limits is investigated for the zero‐inflated lognormal distribution and the zero‐inflated gamma distribution, with or without covariates. The methodologies investigated consist of a ... -
An Adaptive DPPM for Efficient and Robust Visible Light Communication Across the Air-Water Interface
(IEEE, 2020-05-02)The scarcity of the optical power is the main challenge for underwater visible light communication. It becomes worst for communication across the air-water interface because of the reflection of light from the air-water ... -
Taxation, credit frictions and the cyclical behavior of the labor wedge
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-13)Labor-income and consumption taxes are often referred to as the primary causes of the labor wedge and differences in hours worked across countries. While this can be potentially true in the long run, its premise for ... -
Using radio triangulation to understand the origin of two subsequent type II radio bursts
(EDP sciences, 2020-05-07)Context. Eruptive events such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares accelerate particles and generate shock waves which can arrive at Earth and can disturb the magnetosphere. Understanding the association between ... -
Pulsed Focused Ultrasound Lowers Interstitial Fluid Pressure and Increases Nanoparticle Delivery and Penetration in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Xenograft Tumors
(IOP, 2020-06-19)Nanocarriers offer a promising approach to significantly improve therapeutic delivery to solid tumors as well as limit the side effects associated with anti-cancer agents. However, their relatively large size can negatively ... -
A combined loading transducer for calculating the bending moment and torque in a slender circular beam using the minimum numbers of strain gauges, strain grids, and measurement channels
(SAGE, 2020-06-13)The purpose of this work is to develop a new methodology that uses the minimum numbers of strain gauges, strain grids, and measurement channels to calculate the bending moment and torque in a slender circular beam under ... -
A possible case of sporadic aurora observed at Rio de Janeiro
(Springer Open, 2020-06-06)Being footprints of major magnetic storms and hence major solar eruptions, mid- to low-latitude aurorae have been one of the pathways to understand solar–terrestrial environments. However, it has been reported that aurorae ... -
Global human influence maps reveal clear opportunities in conserving Earth’s remaining intact terrestrial ecosystems
(Wiley, 2020-06-05)Leading up to the Convention on Biological Diversity Conference of the Parties 15, there is momentum around setting bold conservation targets. Yet, it remains unclear how much of Earth's land area remains without significant ... -
Development Trend of Wind Power Technology
(AI Publications, 2020-06)This paper describes the main types of the state-of-the-art wind energy harvesting technologies and their commercial prospects, and presents shortcomings of Betz’s limit and misleading of the blade element-momentum theory ... -
Antimicrobial Use in US Hospitals: Comparison of Results From Emerging Infections Program Prevalence Surveys, 2015 and 2011
(Oxford Academic, 2020-06-10)Background In the 2011 US hospital prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use 50% of patients received antimicrobial medications on the survey date or day before. More hospitals have since ... -
Dictionary Learning-Based fMRI Data Analysis for Capturing Common and Individual Neural Activation Maps
(IEEE, 2020-05-04)A novel dictionary learning (DL) method is proposed to estimate sparse neural activations from multi-subject fMRI data sets. By exploiting the label information such as the patient and the normal healthy groups, the ... -
Tools for Living Democracy: Putting the CLDE Theory of Change into Practice
(Digital Commons, 2020)The Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement Theory of Change (Hoffman, Domagal-Goldman, King, & Robinson, 2018) addresses four key questions relating to vision/purpose, learning outcomes, pedagogy, and strategy for higher ... -
An Ensemble Approach for Compressive Sensing with Quantum
(2020-06-08)We leverage the idea of a statistical ensemble to improve the quality of quantum annealing based binary compressive sensing. Since executing quantum machine instructions on a quantum annealer can result in an excited state, ... -
Applying a trauma-informed perspective to loss and change in the lives of older adults
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03-09)Traumatic events are widely acknowledged to have long-term impacts on individuals, yet only recently have health-care professionals begun to assess for and gain an understanding of trauma in the lives of older adults. For ... -
The Infusion of Trauma-Informed Care in Organizations: Experience of Agency Staff
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01-26)The implementation of trauma-informed care is a transformational organizational change, incorporating all levels of staff and fundamentally changing the hierarchical structure of the organization (Bloom, 2006). Using the ... -
Nest microhabitat influences nest-site selection in dry prairie but not in pasture habitat for the endangered Florida Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum; floridanus) alternate title: Le microhabitat influe sur la sélection du site de nidification dans les prairies sèches, mais pas dans les pâturages, chez le Bruant sauterelle de Floride (Ammodramus savannarum floridanus), espèce en voie de disparition
(2020)Vegetation characteristics can influence nest-site selection and nest survival of birds. The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum floridanus) is a critically endangered ground nesting grassland bird endemic ... -
