Yet, little is known about specific population responses in terms of risk behaviors. Methods: To help understand the impact of those vector control variable strategies, a multi-week, multi- site observational study was undertaken outside of 19 New York City medical facilities during the peak of the city’s initial COVID-19 wave (03/22/20-05/19/20). The aim was to capture perishable data of the touch, destination choice, and PPE usage behavior of individuals egressing hospitals and urgent care centers. A major goal was to establish an empirical basis for future research on the way people interact with three- dimensional vector environments. -

Abstract The paper provides an overview of the field of scientometrics, that is: the study of science, technology, and innovation from a quantitative perspective. We cover major historical milestones in the development of this specialism from the 1960s to today and discuss its relationship with the sociology of scientific knowledge, the library and information sciences, and science policy issues such as indicator development. The disciplinary organization of scientometrics is analyzed both conceptually and empirically. A state-of-the-art review of five major research threads is provided.

Our calcu- lation features evaluations of all possible Wick-contractions of the relevant hadronic four-point function and incorporates several different pion masses, volumes, and lattice-spacings. We obtain a value of aHlbl = 106:8(14:7) 10−11 (adding statistical µ × and systematic errors in quadrature), which is consistent with current phenomenolog- ical estimates and a previous lattice determination. It now appears conclusive that the hadronic light-by-light contribution cannot explain the current tension between theory and experiment for the muon g 2. − I. INTRODUCTION The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aµ (g 2)µ=2, is one of the most precisely measured quantities of the Standard Model (SM)≡ of− particle physics. Its value is of considerable interest to the physics community as, currently, there exists a 3:7σ tension between the experimental determination of Ref. -

Model and Data Reduction for Data Assimilation: Particle Filters Employing Projected Forecasts and Data with Application to a Shallow Water Model✩ Aishah Albarakatia,1, Marko Budiˇsi´ca,1, Rose Crockerb,1, Juniper Glass-Klaiberc,1, Sarah Iamsd,1, John Macleanb,1, Noah Marshalle,1, Colin Robertsf,1, Erik S.

Collins, CO 80523. gDepartment of Mathematics, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045. Abstract The understanding of nonlinear, high dimensional flows, e.g, atmospheric and ocean flows, is critical to address the impacts of global climate change. Data Assimilation (DA) techniques combine physical models and observa- tional data, often in a Bayesian framework, to predict the future state of the model and the uncertainty in this prediction. Inherent in these systems are noise (Gaussian and non-Gaussian), nonlinearity, and high dimensional- ity that pose challenges to making accurate predictions. To address these issues we investigate the use of both model and data dimension reduction based on techniques including Assimilation in the Unstable Subspace (AUS), Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), and Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD). Algorithms to take advantage of projected physical and data models may be combined with DA techniques such as Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) and Particle Filter (PF) variants. -

arXiv.org | Cornell University Library, July, 2019. Extremophiles: a special or general case in the search for extra-terrestrial life? Ian von Hegner Aarhus University Abstract Since time immemorial life has been viewed as fragile, yet over the past few decades it has been found that many extreme environments are inhabited by organisms known as extremophiles. Knowledge of their emergence, adaptability, and limitations seems to provide a guideline for the search of extra-terrestrial life, since some extremophiles presumably can survive in extreme environments such as Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Due to physico-chemical constraints, the first life necessarily came into existence at the lower limit of it‟s conceivable complexity. Thus, the first life could not have been an extremophile, furthermore, since biological evolution occurs over time, then the dual knowledge regarding what specific extremophiles are capable of, and to the analogue environment on extreme worlds, will not be sufficient as a search criterion. This is because, even though an extremophile can live in an extreme environment here-and-now, its ancestor however could not live in that very same environment in the past, which means that no contemporary extremophiles exist in that environment. Furthermore, a theoretical framework should be able to predict whether extremophiles can be considered a special or general case in the galaxy. Thus, a question is raised: does Earth‟s continuous habitability represent an extreme or average value for planets? Thus, dependent on whether it is difficult or easy for worlds to maintain the habitability, the search for extra- terrestrial life with a focus on extremophiles will either represent a search for dying worlds, or a search for special life on living worlds, focusing too narrowly on extreme values. -
HERE in SPIRIT Cornell Celebrates Its First-Ever ‘Virtual Reunion’
REUNION 2020 HERE IN SPIRIT Cornell celebrates its first-ever ‘virtual Reunion’ REMOTE, YET CLOSE: Student singers from the Glee Club and Chorus n June, more than 10,500 alumni from the classes of 1937 (above) join their voices on Cornelliana Night. Below: The weekend’s to 2020 participated in Reunion—a record-breaking turn events included (clockwise from top left) a book reading by Arts & out. Attendees enjoyed a Chimes concert, a tour of the Sciences Dean Ray Jayawardhana, reminiscences by well-known alumni I including Kate Snow ’91, a teach-in on racism and social justice, and a Botanic Gardens, class happy hours, and much more. tour of the Vet college. Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says. -

Pronounced Non-Markovian Features in Multiply-Excited, Multiple-Emitter Waveguide-QED: Retardation-Induced Anomalous Population Trapping
Pronounced non-Markovian features in multiply-excited, multiple-emitter waveguide-QED: Retardation-induced anomalous population trapping Alexander Carmele,1 Nikolett Nemet,1, 2 Victor Canela,1, 2 and Scott Parkins1, 2 1Department of Physics, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand 2Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies, New Zealand (Dated: February 5, 2020) The Markovian approximation is widely applied in the field of quantum optics due to the weak frequency dependence of the vacuum field amplitude, and in consequence non-Markovian effects are typically regarded to play a minor role in the optical electron-photon interaction. Here, we give an example where non-Markovianity changes the qualitative behavior of a quantum optical system, rendering the Markovian approximation quantitatively and qualitatively insufficient. Namely, we study a multiple-emitter, multiple-excitation waveguide quantum-electrodynamic (waveguide-QED) system and include propagation time delay. In particular, we demonstrate anomalous population trapping as a result of the retardation in the excitation exchange between the waveguide and three initially excited emitters. Allowing for local phases in the emitter-waveguide coupling, this pop- ulation trapping cannot be recovered using a Markovian treatment, proving the essential role of non-Markovian dynamics in the process. Furthermore, this time-delayed excitation exchange allows for a novel steady state, in which one emitter decays entirely to its ground state while the other two -

Standpoints on Psychiatric Deinstitutionalization Alix Rule Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Alix Rule All rights reserved ABSTRACT Standpoints on Psychiatric Deinstitutionalization Alix Rule Between 1955 and 1985 the United States reduced the population confined in its public mental hospitals from around 600,000 to less than 110,000. This dissertation provides a novel analysis of the movement that advocated for psychiatric deinstitutionalization. To do so, it reconstructs the unfolding setting of the movement’s activity historically, at a number of levels: namely, (1) the growth of private markets in the care of mental illness and the role of federal welfare policy; (2) the contested role of states as actors in driving the process by which these developments effected changes in the mental health system; and (3) the context of relevant events visible to contemporaries. Methods of computational text analysis help to reconstruct this social context, and thus to identify the closure of key opportunities for movement action. In so doing, the dissertation introduces an original method for compiling textual corpora, based on a word-embedding model of ledes published by The New York Times from 1945 to the present. The approach enables researchers to achieve distinct, but equally consistent, actor-oriented descriptions of the social world spanning long periods of time, the forms of which are illustrated here. Substantively, I find that by the early 1970s, the mental health system had disappeared from public view as a part of the field of general medicine — and with it a target around which the existing movement on behalf of the mentally ill might have effectively reorganized itself. -
