Does receiving a SARS-CoV-2 antibody test result change COVID-19 protective behaviors? Testing risk compensation in undergraduate students with a randomized controlled trial.

BackgroundRisk compensation, or matching behavior to a perceived level of acceptable risk, can blunt the effectiveness of public health interventions.One area of possible risk compensation during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is antibody testing.While antibody tests are imperfect measures of immunity, results may influence risk perception and individual

Loss-induced nonreciprocity

Abstract Nonreciprocity is important in both optical information processing and topological photonics studies.Conventional Chandelier principles for realizing nonreciprocity rely on magnetic fields, spatiotemporal modulation, or nonlinearity.Here we propose a generic principle for generating nonreciprocity by taking advantage of energy loss, which
