What's missing? Violently injured Black men's narratives around Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

Background: Adverse childhood experiences have been associated with future outcomes; however, Felitti's 1998 ACEs questionnaire fails to capture the experiences of Black populations living in disinvested neighborhoods making it necessary to expand the ACEs questionnaire to examine the life experiences of violently injured Black men.

Objective: The aim of the study was to advance the understanding of ACEs among Black male firearm violence survivors using the ACEs questionnaire and semi-structured interviews.

Participants And Setting: Ten Black male firearm violence survivors were recruited from an urban HVIP.

Dual-rail encoding with superconducting cavities.

The design of quantum hardware that reduces and mitigates errors is essential for practical quantum error correction (QEC) and useful quantum computation. To this end, we introduce the circuit-Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) dual-rail qubit in which our physical qubit is encoded in the single-photon subspace, [Formula: see text], of two superconducting microwave cavities. The dominant photon loss errors can be detected and converted into erasure errors, which are in general much easier to correct.

High-fidelity parametric beamsplitting with a parity-protected converter.

Fast, high-fidelity operations between microwave resonators are an important tool for bosonic quantum computation and simulation with superconducting circuits. An attractive approach for implementing these operations is to couple these resonators via a nonlinear converter and actuate parametric processes with RF drives. It can be challenging to make these processes simultaneously fast and high fidelity, since this requires introducing strong drives without activating parasitic processes or introducing additional decoherence channels.

Multiple introductions and population structure during the rapid expansion of the invasive Sahara mustard ().

The specific mechanisms that result in the success of any species invasion case are difficult to document. Reproductive strategies are often cited as a primary driver of invasive success, with human activities further facilitating invasions by, for example, acting as seed vectors for dispersal via road, train, air, and marine traffic, and by producing efficient corridors for movement including canals, drainages, and roadways. Sahara mustard () is a facultative autogamous annual native to Eurasia that has rapidly invaded the southwestern United States within the past century, displacing natives, and altering water-limited landscapes in the southwest.

Cigarette smokers' classification of tobacco products.

Introduction: Cigarette consumption has declined in the USA. However, cigar consumption has increased. This may be due in part to some cigarette smokers switching to filtered cigars as a less expensive substitute for cigarettes.

A novel method for detecting licking behavior during recording of electrophysiological signals from the brain.

We have developed a novel method for detecting licking at a fluid well that is compatible with behavioral neurophysiology. This method uses off-the-shelf fiber optic technology to introduce a light beam through the fluid-air interface of a fluid bolus in a well. A self-adjusting optical sensor detects licking as disturbances in the amplified light surface within the interface when the fluid is disturbed.
