In this work we present automated evaluations of LLMs for public health tasks involving the classification and extraction of free text. We combine six externally annotated datasets with seven new internally annotated datasets to evaluate LLMs for processing text related to: health burden, epidemiological risk factors, and public health interventions. We evaluate eleven open-weight LLMs (7-123 billion parameters) across all tasks using zero-shot in-context learning. We find that Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct is the highest performing model, achieving the best results on 8/16 tasks (using micro-F1 scores). We see significant variation across tasks with all open-weight LLMs scoring below 60% micro-F1 on some challenging tasks, such as Contact Classification, while all LLMs achieve greater than 80% micro-F1 on others, such as GI Illness Classification. For a subset of 11 tasks, we also evaluate three GPT-4 and GPT-4o series models and find comparable results to Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct. Overall, based on these initial results we find promising signs that LLMs may be useful tools for public health experts to extract information from a wide variety of free text sources, and support public health surveillance, research, and interventions. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2405.14766v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2405.14766v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 19 February, 2025; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 23 May, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">36 pages.

Here, we discuss requirements for an effective surveillance system to support decision making during a pandemic, drawing on the lessons of COVID-19 in the U.S., while looking to jurisdictions in the U.S. and beyond to learn lessons about the value of specific data types. In this report, we define the range of decisions for which surveillance data are required, the data elements needed to inform these decisions and to calibrate inputs and outputs of transmission-dynamic models, and the types of data needed to inform decisions by state, territorial, local, and tribal health authorities. We define actions needed to ensure that such data will be available and consider the contribution of such efforts to improving health equity. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.13724v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.13724v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.08599">arXiv:2309.08599</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.08599">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2309.08599">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applications">stat.AP</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> An assessment of racial disparities in pretrial decision-making using misclassification models </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Webb%2C+K+A+H">Kimberly A.

Judicial officers, in turn, use these assessments to determine whether to release or detain defendants during trial. While algorithmic risk assessment tools were designed to predict pretrial failure with greater accuracy relative to judges, there is still concern that both risk assessment recommendations and pretrial decisions are biased against minority groups. In this paper, we develop methods to investigate the association between risk factors and pretrial failure, while simultaneously estimating misclassification rates of pretrial risk assessments and of judicial decisions as a function of defendant race. This approach adds to a growing literature that makes use of outcome misclassification methods to answer questions about fairness in pretrial decision-making. We give a detailed simulation study for our proposed methodology and apply these methods to data from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services. We estimate that the VPRAI algorithm has near-perfect specificity, but its sensitivity differs by defendant race.

The timings of actual infections are rarely known, and analysis of epidemics usually relies on time series data for other outcomes such as symptom onset. A common implicit assumption, when estimating $R(t)$ from an epidemic time series, is that $R(t)$ has the same relationship with these downstream outcomes as it does with the time series of incidence. However, this assumption is unlikely to be valid given that most epidemic time series are not perfect proxies of incidence. Rather they represent convolutions of incidence with uncertain delay distributions. Here we define the apparent time-varying reproduction number, $R_A(t)$, the reproduction number calculated from a downstream epidemic time series and demonstrate how differences between $R_A(t)$ and $R(t)$ depend on the convolution function. The mean of the convolution function sets a time offset between the two signals, whilst the variance of the convolution function introduces a relative distortion between them. We present the convolution functions of epidemic time series that were available during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Infection prevalence, measured by random sampling studies, presents fewer biases than other epidemic time series. Here we show that additionally the mean and variance of its convolution function were similar to that obtained from traditional surveillance based on mass-testing and could be reduced using more frequent testing, or by using stricter thresholds for positivity. Infection prevalence studies continue to be a versatile tool for tracking the temporal trends of $R(t)$, and with additional refinements to their study protocol, will be of even greater utility during any future epidemics or pandemics. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2307.03415v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2307.03415v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 7 July, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01224">arXiv:2306.01224</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.01224">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Physics and Society">physics.soc-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantitative Methods">q-bio.QM</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Key challenges for the surveillance of respiratory viruses: transitioning out of the acute phase of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Eales%2C+O">Oliver Eales</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Plank%2C+M+J">Michael J.

While many surveillance approaches catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic provide novel epidemiological insight, continuing them as implemented during the pandemic is unlikely to be feasible for non-emergency surveillance, and many have already been scaled back. Furthermore, given anticipated co-circulation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza, surveillance activities in place prior to the pandemic require review and adjustment to ensure their ongoing value for public health. In this perspective, we highlight key challenges for the development of integrated models of surveillance.

The methods used so far at the LHC and in particular at the CMS experiment are based on the Kalman filter technique. Such methods have shown to be robust and to provide good physics performance, both in the trigger and offline. In order to improve computational performance, we explored Kalman-filter-based methods for track finding and fitting, adapted for many-core SIMD architectures. This adapted Kalman-filter-based software, called "mkFit", was shown to provide a significant speedup compared to the traditional algorithm, thanks to its parallelized and vectorized implementation. The mkFit software was recently integrated into the offline CMS software framework, in view of its exploitation during the Run 3 of the LHC. At the start of the LHC Run 3, mkFit will be used for track finding in a subset of the CMS offline track reconstruction iterations, allowing for significant improvements over the existing framework in terms of computational performance, while retaining comparable physics performance. The performance of the CMS track reconstruction using mkFit at the start of the LHC Run 3 is presented, together with prospects of further improvement in the upcoming years of data taking. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2304.05853v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2304.05853v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 12 April, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Contribution to the ACAT 2022</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.10171">arXiv:2203.10171</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.10171">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2203.10171">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Emerging Technologies">cs.ET</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1002/aisy.202200158">10.1002/aisy.202200158 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Neuromorphic metamaterials for mechanosensing and perceptual associative learning </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Riley%2C+K+S">Katherine S.

We report on a class of neuromorphic metamaterials embodying bioinspired mechanosensing, memory, and learning functionalities obtained by leveraging mechanical instabilities and flexible memristive materials. Our prototype system comprises a multistable metamaterial whose bistable units filter, amplify, and transduce external mechanical inputs over large areas into simple electrical signals using piezoresistivity. We record these mechanically transduced signals using non-volatile flexible memristors that remember sequences of mechanical inputs, providing a means to store spatially distributed mechanical signals in measurable material states. The accumulated memristance changes resulting from the sequential mechanical inputs allow us to physically encode a Hopfield network into our neuromorphic metamaterials. This physical network learns a series of external spatially distributed input patterns. Crucially, the learned patterns input into our neuromorphic metamaterials can be retrieved from the final accumulated state of our memristors. Therefore, our system exhibits the ability to learn without supervised training and retain spatially distributed inputs with minimal external overhead. Our system's embodied mechanosensing, memory, and learning capabilities establish an avenue for synthetic neuromorphic metamaterials enabling the learning of touch-like sensations covering large areas for robotics, autonomous systems, wearables, and morphing structures. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.10171v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.10171v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Manuscript: 13 pages, 4 figures, 1 table Supplementary Information: 11 pages, 17 figures, 2 tables</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.06405">arXiv:2110.06405</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.06405">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2021.109097">10.1016/j.compscitech.2021.109097 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Programmable multistability for 3D printed reinforced multifunctional composites with reversible shape change </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Puthanveetil%2C+S">Shanthini Puthanveetil</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Liu%2C+W+C">Wing Chung Liu</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Riley%2C+K+S">Katherine S.

To apply reversible shape-change to stiff lightweight materials such as microfiber reinforced polymers, we developed a composite ink that can be printed using direct-ink-writing (DIW), and that exhibits multistability around its glass transition temperature. After curing at room temperature, the flat print thermally morphs into a predefined shape upon heating at an actuation temperature and cooling down. The sample can then reversibly snap between multiple stable shapes when heated above its glass transition temperature thanks to prestress-induced multistability. The key that allows thermal morphing and prestress multistability is the microstructuring of the 3D printed composites by shear-induced alignment of reinforcing microfibers. This alignment leads to local anisotropy in thermomechanical properties and the build-up of prestresses. Furthermore, the ink composition can be tuned to generate shape-dependant reversible functional properties, such as electrical conductivity. Based on finite element modelling and experimental results, the method proposed here can be used for variety of compositions and designs, for applications where stiffness, reconfigurability and shape-dependent functionalities can be exploited. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2110.06405v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2110.06405v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 12 October, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2021. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.03673">arXiv:2106.03673</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.03673">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-lawsocsci-041221-023808">10.1146/annurev-lawsocsci-041221-023808 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Algorithms and Decision-Making in the Public Sector </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Levy%2C+K">Karen Levy</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Chasalow%2C+K">Kyla Chasalow</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Riley%2C+S">Sarah Riley</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2106.03673v2-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> This article surveys the use of algorithmic systems to support decision-making in the public sector.

We highlight several open questions that require further empirical research. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2106.03673v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2106.03673v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 June, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 7 June, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Annual Review of Law and Social Science, Vol. 17 (2021) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.05445">arXiv:2102.05445</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.05445">pdf</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computers and Society">cs.CY</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Social and Information Networks">cs.SI</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Physics and Society">physics.soc-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Populations and Evolution">q-bio.PE</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Epidemiological and public health requirements for COVID-19 contact tracing apps and their evaluation </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Colizza%2C+V">Vittoria Colizza</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Grill%2C+E">Eva Grill</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Mikolajczyk%2C+R">Rafael Mikolajczyk</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Cattuto%2C+C">Ciro Cattuto</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Kucharski%2C+A">Adam Kucharski</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Riley%2C+S">Steven Riley</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Kendall%2C+M">Michelle Kendall</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Lythgoe%2C+K">Katrina Lythgoe</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Abeler-D%C3%B6rner%2C+L">Lucie Abeler-D枚rner</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Wymant%2C+C">Chris Wymant</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Bonsall%2C+D">David Bonsall</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Ferretti%2C+L">Luca Ferretti</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Fraser%2C+C">Christophe Fraser</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2102.05445v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Digital contact tracing is a public health intervention.

In response, many European countries have implemented unprecedented non-pharmaceutical interventions including case isolation, the closure of schools and universities, banning of mass gatherings and/or public events, and most recently, wide-scale social distancing including local and national lockdowns. In this technical update, we extend a semi-mechanistic Bayesian hierarchical model that infers the impact of these interventions and estimates the number of infections over time. Our methods assume that changes in the reproductive number - a measure of transmission - are an immediate response to these interventions being implemented rather than broader gradual changes in behaviour. Our model estimates these changes by calculating backwards from temporal data on observed to estimate the number of infections and rate of transmission that occurred several weeks prior, allowing for a probabilistic time lag between infection and death. In this update we extend our original model [Flaxman, Mishra, Gandy et al 2020, Report #13, Imperial College London] to include (a) population saturation effects, (b) prior uncertainty on the infection fatality ratio, (c) a more balanced prior on intervention effects and (d) partial pooling of the lockdown intervention covariate. We also (e) included another 3 countries (Greece, the Netherlands and Portugal). The model code is available at https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/covid19model/ We are now reporting the results of our updated model online at https://mrc-ide.github.io/covid19estimates/ We estimated parameters jointly for all M=14 countries in a single hierarchical model. Inference is performed in the probabilistic programming language Stan using an adaptive Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2004.11342v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2004.11342v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 April, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2020. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08054">arXiv:1903.08054</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.08054">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1903.08054">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Populations and Evolution">q-bio.PE</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Cell Behavior">q-bio.CB</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epidem.2020.100406">10.1016/j.epidem.2020.100406 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Cellular reproduction number, generation time and growth rate differ between human- and avian-adapted influenza strains </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Yan%2C+A+W+C">Ada W.

However, analogous to mechanistic epidemic models, the growth rate can be defined as a function of two parameters: the basic reproduction number (the average number of cells each infected cell infects) and the mean generation time (the average length of a replication cycle). Using a mechanistic model, previously published data from experiments in human lung cells, and newly generated data, we compared estimates of all three parameters for six influenza A strains. Using previously published data, we found that the two human-adapted strains (pre-2009 seasonal H1N1, and pandemic H1N1) had a lower basic reproduction number, shorter mean generation time and slower growth rate than the two avian-adapted strains (H5N1 and H7N9). These same differences were then observed in data from new experiments where two strains were engineered to have different internal proteins (pandemic H1N1 and H5N1), but the same surface proteins (PR8), confirming our initial findings and implying that differences between strains were driven by internal genes. Also, the model predicted that the human-adapted strains underwent more replication cycles than the avian-adapted strains by the time of peak viral load, potentially accumulating mutations more quickly. These results suggest that the in vitro reproduction number, generation time and growth rate differ between human-adapted and avian-adapted influenza strains, and thus could be used to assess host adaptation of internal proteins to inform pandemic risk assessment. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1903.08054v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1903.08054v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 19 March, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">24 pages, 5 figures, 8 supplementary figures, 1 supplementary table</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Report number:</span> RIKEN-iTHEMS-Report-19 <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">MSC Class:</span> 92C60; 92D15; 92D30 </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Epidemics, 33, Dec.

It is possible to reach their ground state via thermal annealing. We have made square ASI using different FePd alloys to vary the magnetization via co-sputtering. From a polarized state the samples were incrementally heated and we measured the vertex population as a function of temperature using magnetic force microscopy. For the higher magnetization FePd sample, we report an onset of dynamics at $T = 493$ K, with a rapid collapse into $>90\%$ ground state vertices. In contrast, the low magnetization sample started to fluctuate at lower temperatures, $T = 393$ K and over a wider temperature range but only reached a maximum of $25\%$ of ground state vertices. These results indicate that the interaction strength, dynamic temperature range and pathways can be finely tuned using a simple co-sputtering process. In addition we have compared our experimental values of the blocking temperature to those predicted using the simple N茅el-Brown two-state model and find a large discrepancy which we attribute to activation volumes much smaller than the island volume. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1712.02404v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1712.02404v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 December, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2017. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">10 pages, 6 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Scientific Reports 8, 4750 (2018) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.09375">arXiv:1603.09375</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.09375">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1603.09375">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1603.09375">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Disordered Systems and Neural Networks">cond-mat.dis-nn</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.95.104422">10.1103/PhysRevB.95.104422 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann Freezing of a Thermally Fluctuating Artificial Spin Ice Probed by X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Morley%2C+S+A">S.

We used resonant magnetic soft x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) as a method to observe the time-time correlations of the fluctuating magnetic configurations of spin ice during cooling, which are found to slow abruptly as a freezing temperature $T_0 = 178 \pm 5$~K is approached. This slowing is well-described by a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann law, implying that the frozen state is glassy, with the freezing temperature being commensurate with the strength of magnetostatic interaction energies in the array. The activation temperature, $T_\mathrm{A} = 40 \pm 10$~K, is much less than that expected from a Stoner-Wohlfarth coherent rotation model. Zero-field-cooled/field-cooled magnetometry reveals a freeing up of fluctuations of states within islands above this temperature, caused by variation in the local anisotropy axes at the oxidised edges. This Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann behavior implies that the system enters a glassy state on freezing, which is unexpected for a system with a well-defined ground state. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1603.09375v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1603.09375v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 8 April, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 30 March, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2016. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

They then wrote two short stories: one based on the photograph they rated as most threatening, and the other based on the photograph they rated as least threatening. The stories were rated for level of creativity. Paired samples t-tests revealed that stories based on threatening pictures produced a higher degree of creativity than those based on non-threatening pictures. Theoretical frameworks consistent with these findings are discussed. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1308.4245v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1308.4245v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 July, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 20 August, 2013; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2013. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Proceedings of the 34th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (pp. 2234-2239).

We discuss the implications of this experimental result for tracking down a supernova explosion. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('hep-ex/9906011v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('hep-ex/9906011v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 7 June, 1999; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 1999. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Submitted to Physical Review D</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.Rev.D61:012001,2000 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ex/9904001">arXiv:hep-ex/9904001</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ex/9904001">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/hep-ex/9904001">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/hep-ex/9904001">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.59.1780">10.1103/PhysRevC.59.1780 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Neutrino-induced deuteron disintegration experiment </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Riley%2C+S+P">S.

Since the experimental NCD value depends upon the CCD value, if we use the theoretical value for the CCD reaction, we obtain the improved value of 5.98 +/- 0.54 x 10^(-45) for the NCD cross section. The neutral-current reaction allows a unique measurement of the isovector-axial vector coupling constant in the hadronic weak interaction (beta). In the standard model, this constant is predicted to be exactly 1, independent of the Weinberg angle. We measure a value of beta^2 = 1.01 +/- 0.16. Using the above improved value for the NCD cross section, beta^2 becomes 0.99 +/- 0.10. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('hep-ex/9904001v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('hep-ex/9904001v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 1 April, 1999; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 1999. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">22pages, 9 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Report number:</span> UCI preprint #98-37 </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.Rev.
