Novel Perspectives on Due Process Symposium: Uncoupling Habeas Corpus and Due Process
This exploration concludes by finding that select elements of the Due Process Clause persist even during suspension and thus restrict otherwise forbidden Executive action. Part I overviews the scope of the Great Writ and the effect of its suspension. Part II details two conflicting views of the writ’s relationship with the constitutional demands of due process. Finally, Part III asserts that suspension quiets some facets of the Due Process Clause but does not entirely extinguish the right to procedural due process
Strings on Bubbling Geometries
We study gauge theory operators which take the form of a product of a trace
with a Schur polynomial, and their string theory duals. These states represent
strings excited on bubbling AdS geometries which are dual to the Schur
polynomials. These geometries generically take the form of multiple annuli in
the phase space plane. We study the coherent state wavefunction of the lattice,
which labels the trace part of the operator, for a general Young tableau and
their dual description on the droplet plane with a general concentric ring
pattern. In addition we identify a density matrix over the coherent states on
all the geometries within a fixed constraint. This density matrix may be used
to calculate the entropy of a given ensemble of operators. We finally recover
the BMN string spectrum along the geodesic near any circle from the ansatz of
the coherent state wavefunction.Comment: 41 pages, 12 figures, published version in JHE
Recent smell loss is the best predictor of COVID-19 among individuals with recent respiratory symptoms
In a preregistered, cross-sectional study we investigated whether olfactory loss is a reliable predictor of COVID-19 using a crowdsourced questionnaire in 23 languages to assess symptoms in individuals self-reporting recent respiratory illness. We quantified changes in chemosensory abilities during the course of the respiratory illness using 0-100 visual analog scales (VAS) for participants reporting a positive (C19+; n=4148) or negative (C19-; n=546) COVID-19 laboratory test outcome. Logistic regression models identified univariate and multivariate predictors of COVID-19 status and post-COVID-19 olfactory recovery. Both C19+ and C19- groups exhibited smell loss, but it was significantly larger in C19+ participants (mean±SD, C19+: -82.5±27.2 points; C19-: -59.8±37.7). Smell loss during illness was the best predictor of COVID-19 in both univariate and multivariate models (ROC AUC=0.72). Additional variables provide negligible model improvement. VAS ratings of smell loss were more predictive than binary chemosensory yes/no-questions or other cardinal symptoms (e.g., fever). Olfactory recovery within 40 days of respiratory symptom onset was reported for ~50% of participants and was best predicted by time since respiratory symptom onset. We find that quantified smell loss is the best predictor of COVID-19 amongst those with symptoms of respiratory illness. To aid clinicians and contact tracers in identifying individuals with a high likelihood of having COVID-19, we propose a novel 0-10 scale to screen for recent olfactory loss, the ODoR-19. We find that numeric ratings ≤2 indicate high odds of symptomatic COVID-19 (4<10). Once independently validated, this tool could be deployed when viral lab tests are impractical or unavailable
