summarize, simplify, and contextualize: The COVID-19 pandemic presented
enormous data challenges in the United States. Policy makers,
epidemiological modelers, and health researchers all require up-to-date
data on the pandemic and relevant public behavior, ideally at fine spatial
and temporal resolution. The COVIDcast API is our attempt to fill this
need: Operational since April 2020, it provides open access to both
traditional public health surveillance signals (cases, deaths, and
hospitalizations) and many auxiliary indicators of COVID-19 activity, such
as signals extracted from deidentified medical claims data, massive online
surveys, cell phone mobility data, and internet search trends. These are
available at a fine geographic resolution (mostly at the county level) and
are updated daily. The COVIDcast API also tracks all revisions to
historical data, allowing modelers to account for the frequent revisions
and backfill that are common for many public health data sources. All of
the data are available in a common format through the API and accompanying
R and Python software packages. This paper describes the data sources and
signals, and provides examples demonstrating that the auxiliary signals in
the COVIDcast API present information relevant to tracking COVID activity,
augmenting traditional public health reporting and empowering research and
decision-making.

summarize, simplify, and contextualize: Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) is
considered an emerging threat to potato production in the United States.
PMTV is transmitted by a soil-borne protist, Spongospora subterranean.
Rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection of PMTV in leaves and tubers is
an essential component in PMTV management program. A rapid test that can
be adapted to in-field, on-site testing with minimal sample manipulation
could help in ensuring the sanitary status of the produce in situations
such as certification programs and shipping point inspections. Toward that
goal, a rapid and highly sensitive recombinase polymerase amplification
(RPA)-based test was developed for PMTV detection in potato tubers. The
test combines the convenience of RPA assay with a simple sample extraction
procedure, making it amenable to rapid on-site diagnosis of PMTV.
Furthermore, the assay was duplexed with a plant internal control to
monitor sample extraction and RPA reaction performance. The method
described could detect as little as 10 fg of PMTV RNA transcript in
various potato tissues, the diagnostic limit of detection (LOQ) similar to
that of traditional molecular methods.

summarize, simplify, and contextualize: One of the most thrilling cultural
experiences is to hear live symphony-orchestra music build up from a
whispering passage to a monumental fortissimo. The impact of such a
crescendo has been thought to depend only on the musicians’ skill, but
here we show that interactions between the concert-hall acoustics and
listeners’ hearing also play a major role in musical dynamics. These
interactions contribute to the shoebox-type concert hall’s established
success, but little prior research has been devoted to dynamic expression
in this three-part transmission chain as a complete system. More forceful
orchestral playing disproportionately excites high frequency harmonics
more than those near the note’s fundamental. This effect results in not
only more sound energy, but also a different tone color. The concert hall
transmits this sound, and the room geometry defines from which directions
acoustic reflections arrive at the listener. Binaural directional hearing
emphasizes high frequencies more when sound arrives from the sides of the
head rather than from the median plane. Simultaneously, these same
frequencies are emphasized by higher orchestral-playing dynamics. When the
room geometry provides reflections from these directions, the perceived
dynamic range is enhanced. Current room-acoustic evaluation methods assume
linear behavior and thus neglect this effect. The hypothesis presented
here is that the auditory excitation by reflections is emphasized with an
orchestra forte most in concert halls with strong lateral reflections. The
enhanced dynamic range provides an explanation for the success of
rectangularly shaped concert-hall geometry.

summarize, simplify, and contextualize: Children in industrialized
cultures typically succeed on Give-N, a test of counting ability, by age
4. On the other hand, counting appears to be learned much later in the
Tsimane’, an indigenous group in the Bolivian Amazon. This study tests
three hypotheses for what may cause this difference in timing: (a)
Tsimane’ children may be shy in providing behavioral responses to number
tasks, (b) Tsimane’ children may not memorize the verbal list of number
words early in acquisition, and/or (c) home environments may not support
mathematical learning in the same way as in US samples, leading Tsimane’
children to primarily acquire mathematics through formalized schooling.
Our results suggest that most of our subjects are not inhibited by shyness
in responding to experimental tasks. We also find that Tsimane’ children
(N = 100, ages 4-11) learn the verbal list later than US children, but
even upon acquiring this list, still take time to pass Give-N tasks. We
find that performance in counting varies across tasks and is related to
formal schooling. These results highlight the importance of formal
education, including instruction in the count list, in learning the
meanings of the number words.
