description: We study fluctuation-induced interaction in confined fluids above the isotropic-lamellar transition. At an ideal continuous transition, the disjoining pressure has the asymptotic form $Π(d\to\infty)\approx -C k_BT q_0^2/d$, where $d$ is the interwall distance, $q_0$ is the wavenumber of the scattering peak, and $C= 1/(4π)$ in the strong anchoring limit. The long-rangedness is enhanced due to continuous distribution of soft modes in the ${\bf q}$-space. An unconventionally strong Casimir force with a range of several lamella thicknesses is realistic above the transition. We also find an oscillatory force profile near a surface-induced transition.

description: We review recent theoretical progress on the dynamics of brittle crack fronts and its relationship to the roughness of fracture surfaces. We discuss the possibility that the intermediate scale roughness of cracks, which is characterized by a roughness exponent approximately equal to 0.5, could be caused by the generation, during local instabilities by depinning, of diffusively broadened corrugation waves, which have recently been observed to propagate elastically along moving crack fronts. We find that the theory agrees plausibly with the orders of magnitude observed. Various consequences and limitations, as well as alternative explanations, are discussed. We argue that another mechanism, possibly related to damage cavity coalescence, is needed to account for the observed large scale roughness of cracks that is characterized by a roughness exponent approximately equal to 0.8

description: This article describes an updated version of the metabias command, which provides statistical tests for funnel plot asymmetry. In addition to the previously implemented tests, metabias implements two new tests that are recommended in the recently updated Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins and Green 2008). The first new test, proposed by Harbord, Egger, and Sterne (2006, Statistics in Medicine 25: 3443–3457), is a modified version of the commonly used test proposed by Egger et al. (1997, British Medical Journal 315: 629–634). It regresses Z/√V against √V, where Z is the efficient score and V is Fisher’s information (the variance of Z under the null hypothesis). The second new test is Peters’ test, which is based on a weighted linear regression of the intervention effect estimate on the reciprocal of the sample size. Both of these tests maintain better control of the false-positive rate than the test proposed by Egger at al., while retaining similar power.

description: We propose and demonstrate a novel method to reduce the pulse width and timing jitter of a relativistic electron beam through THz-driven beam compression. In this method the longitudinal phase space of a relativistic electron beam is manipulated by a linearly polarized THz pulse in a dielectric tube such that the bunch tail has a higher velocity than the bunch head, which allows simultaneous reduction of both pulse width and timing jitter after passing through a drift. In this experiment, the beam is compressed by more than a factor of four from 130 fs to 28 fs with the arrival time jitter also reduced from 97 fs to 36 fs, opening up new opportunities in using pulsed electron beams for studies of ultrafast dynamics. This technique extends the well known rf buncher to the THz frequency and may have a strong impact in accelerator and ultrafast science facilities that require femtosecond electron beams with tight synchronization to external lasers.

description: Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy presents many challenges. Even in the simplest case, when the data are summarized by a 2 × 2 table from each study, a statistically rigorous analysis requires hierarchical (multilevel) models that respect the binomial data structure, such as hierarchical logistic regression. We present a Stata package, metandi, to facilitate the fitting of such models in Stata. The commands display the results in two alternative parameterizations and produce a customizable plot. metandi requires either Stata 10 or above (which has the new command xtmelogit), or Stata 8.2 or above with gllamm installed.

description: Dirac equation for a charged particle in static electromagnetic field is written for special cases of spherically symmetric potentials. Besides the well known Dirac-Coulomb and Dirac-Oscillator potentials, we obtain a relativistic version of the S-wave Morse potential. This is accomplished by adding a simple exponential potential term to the Dirac operator, which in the nonrelativistic limit reproduces the usual Morse potential. The relativistic bound states spectrum and spinor wavefunctions are obtained.

description: In this paper, we consider the alleviation of the boundary problem when the probability density function has bounded support. We apply Robbins-Monro's algorithm and Bernstein polynomials to construct a recursive density estimator. We study the asymptotic properties of the proposed recursive estimator. We then compared our proposed recursive estimator with many others estimators. Finally, we confirm our theoretical result through a simulation study and then using two real datasets.

description: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the three ambient-based mechanisms proposed by Segerson [J. Environ. Econom. Management 15, 87-98 (1988)] for controlling emissions from a group of nonpoint source polluters: a marginal tax/subsidy, a fixed penalty, and a mechanism that combines the two. To parallel likely conditions in a small watershed, in half of the experiment sessions we allow the group of polluters to engage in costless, non-binding discussion (cheap talk). In sessions without discussion, we find that the tax/subsidy instrument achieves the pollution target, while the fixed penalty and combined mechanisms do not. However, the tax/subsidy does not induce compliance at the individual level. Allowing discussion renders the tax/subsidy ineffective by encouraging gross overcompliance, but notably increases the usefulness of the fixed penalty and combined mechanisms. Differences in outcomes are likely attributable to the dissimilar marginal incentives under the three mechanisms.

description: We propose a method suitable for analysis of cross-sectional studies with complex sampling and continuous variables. The method consists of R + 4 steps, where R denotes the number of replications. In the first R + 1 step, the main and R replicate weights are used (one at a time) to estimate the product of coefficients for all mediation effects using a structural equation model. In step R + 2, the standard errors of these estimates are computed via balanced repeated replications. In step R + 3, the raw p values corresponding to mediation effects are computed based on the generalized Sobel’s tests. In the final step, R + 4, the p values are adjusted for multiplicity and statistical inferences regarding mediation effects are drawn. To illustrate the approach we examined significance of attitudes toward smoking bans as mediators in the association between smoking restrictions at work and nicotine dependence among male daily smokers.
An Arbitrary Two-qubit Computation In 23 Elementary Gates

description: Quantum circuits currently constitute a dominant model for quantum computation. Our work addresses the problem of constructing quantum circuits to implement an arbitrary given quantum computation, in the special case of two qubits. We pursue circuits without ancilla qubits and as small a number of elementary quantum gates as possible. Our lower bound for worst-case optimal two-qubit circuits calls for at least 17 gates: 15 one-qubit rotations and 2 CNOTs. To this end, we constructively prove a worst-case upper bound of 23 elementary gates, of which at most 4 (CNOT) entail multi-qubit interactions. Our analysis shows that synthesis algorithms suggested in previous work, although more general, entail much larger quantum circuits than ours in the special case of two qubits. One such algorithm has a worst case of 61 gates of which 18 may be CNOTs. Our techniques rely on the KAK decomposition from Lie theory as well as the polar and spectral (symmetric Shur) matrix decompositions from numerical analysis and operator theory. They are related to the canonical decomposition of a two-qubit gate with respect to the ``magic basis'' of phase-shifted Bell states, published previously. We further extend this decomposition in terms of elementary gates for quantum computation.
description: 18 pages, 7 figures. Version 2 gives correct credits for the GQC "quantum compiler". Version 3 adds justification for our choice of elementary gates and adds a comparison with classical library-less logic synthesis. It adds acknowledgements and a new reference, adds full details about the 8-gate decomposition of topC-V and stealthily fixes several minor inaccuracies. NOTE: Using a new technique, we recently improved the lower bound to 18 gates and (tada!) found a circuit decomposition that requires 18 gates or less. This work will appear as a separate manuscript

description: By using the non-Markovian master equation, we investigate the effect of the cavity and the environment on the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of an atom qubit system in a dissipation cavity. We obtain the formulae of QFI for two different initial states and analyze the effect of the atom-cavity coupling and the cavity-reservoir coupling on the QFI. The results show that the dynamic behavior of the QFI is obviously dependent on the initial atomic states, the atom-cavity coupling and the cavity-reservoir coupling. The stronger the atom-cavity coupling, the quicker the QFI oscillates and the slower the QFI reduces. Especially, the QFI will tend to a stable value not zero if the atom-cavity coupling is large enough. On the other hand, the smaller the cavity-reservoir coupling, the stronger the non-Markovian effect, the slower the QFI decay. In other words, choosing the best parameter can improve the accuracy of parameter estimation. In addition, the physical explanation of the dynamic behavior of the QFI is given by means of the QFI flow.

description: Bir birey kişisel bir tasarruf gerçekleştirdiğinde finansal güvence elde etmesinin yanında ülke ekonomilerinde büyümenin dinamiklerini oluşturan yatırımlara da katkı sağlar. Öte yandan bireylerin borçlanma olanakları ise ülke ekonomileri için gerekli olan yatırım fırsat ve çeşitliliği üzerinde önemli bir etkendir. Bu açıdan bireylerin tasarruf ve borç davranışları, tasarruf eğilimleri ve tüketim kalıplarının belirlenmesinde önemli bir rol üstlenmektedir. Ayrıca tasarruf ve borç davranışları hanehalklarının sosyoekonomik, demografik ve kültürel yapıları gibi çeşitli faktörlerden etkilenebilir. Fon arz ve talep edenlerin temel buluşması noktası olan finansal sistem içerisinde en önemli yapı taşlarından birini oluşturan bankalar ise bireylere çeşitli finansal ürün ve hizmetler sunmaktadır. Teknolojik yeniliklerle beraber son birkaç on yıl içerisinde bankacılık sisteminin değişmez parçalarından birisi haline dönüşen dijital bankacılığında bahsi geçen diğer faktörlerle beraber bireylerin tasarruf ve borç davranışları üzerinde çeşitli etkileri olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda tasarruf ve borç davranışlarına dijital bankacılığın etkilerini araştırmak bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Türkiye örneklemi için 2017 Global Findex veri seti ve logit model kullanılarak analiz yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın önemli bulgularına bakıldığında dijital bankacılığın neredeyse tüm tasarruf/borç ve tasarruf/borç alt seçenekleri üzerinde etkili olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Böylece hanehalkı tasarruf ve borç davranışları üzerinde diğer ilgili faktörlerin yanında dijital bankacılık özelinde olmak üzere yeni ve çeşitli finansal yöntemlerin de etkili olduğu söylenebilir.

description: Globalization and Economic Reform have enormous potential for economic growth and poverty reduction. But there are at least three troubling features of these phenomena that have emerged over the last two decades—technical change which is biased in favor of capital and skilled labor; increased vulnerability and exposure to economic risks; and a shift of economic power towards more mobile factors of production. The core of the paper then discusses SEWA’s experiences with the impact of these global and national level forces at the ground level in India, SEWA’s responses to them, and SEWA’s strategy for ensuring that its poor women members gain rather than lose from globalization and economic reform.

description: There is increasing interest in the medical world in the possibility of tailoring treatment to the individual patient. Statistically, the relevant task is to identify interactions between covariates and treatments, such that the patient’s value of a given covariate influences how strongly (or even whether) they are likely to respond to a treatment. The most valuable data are obtained in randomized controlled clinical trials of novel treatments in comparison with a control treatment. We describe two techniques to detect and model such interactions. The first technique, multivariable fractional polynomials interaction, is based on fractional polynomials methodology, and provides a method of testing for continuous-bybinary interactions and by modeling the treatment effect as a function of a continuous covariate. The second technique, subpopulation treatment-effect pattern plot, aims to do something similar but is focused on producing a nonparametric estimate of the treatment effect, expressed graphically. Stata programs for both of these techniques are described. Real data for brain and breast cancer are used as examples.

description: We investigate the relevance of the spin-orit coupling to the far-infrared absorption of two-dimensional semiconductor dots. Varying the strength of the Dresselhaus term, a mechanism feasible in experiment by changing the dot width, distinctive splittings of the Kohn peak as well as additional low energy modes are predicted in a non-interacting model. Each mode has a spatial distribution of charge, perpendicular and in-plane spin densities that correlate in a peculiar way with the frequency and polarization of the external field. We study the robustness of these features against electron-electron interactions as well as the appearance of interaction-induced additional characteristics.

description: In this study, our aim was to investigate the protective effects of myricetin (single dose–100 mg/kg) on CLP-induced rat sepsis model by analyzing some immune mechanisms including inflammation and oxidative stress by different techniques such as Immunohistochemistry, ELISA, tissue biochemistry and Western Blotting. Twenty-eight Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups. The pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels were measured by ELISA technique. CD68 and Nuclear-Factor-Kappa-B (NF-κB) positivity rates were detected by IHC. Some of oxidative stress parameters were measured by tissue biochemistry, while Toll-lke Receptor-4 (TLR4) expression others were detected by Western blot technique. Sepsis caused a significant increase in all pro-inflammatory cytokine and oxidant levels. Also, it led to an increase in the positivity of CD68 and NF-κB markers as well as the expression levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1-beta, TLR4, Keap-1. However, single dose myricetin application normalized pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, increased anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, decreased positivity of CD68 and NF-κB and increased NRF2 and HO-1 expressions. As a conclusion, the beneficial effect of myricetin on lung injury also involved inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB pathway, suppression of proinflammatory cytokines and induction of anti-inflammatory cytokine production, regulation of oxidant and anti-oxidant system parameters, and activating the NRF2/Keap1/HO-1 pathway.

description: The rate of second layer nucleation -- the formation of a stable nucleus on top of a two-dimensional island -- determines both the conditions for layer-by-layer growth, and the size of the top terrace of multilayer mounds in three-dimensional homoepitaxial growth. It was recently shown that conventional mean field nucleation theory overestimates the rate of second layer nucleation by a factor that is proportional to the number of times a given site is visited by an adatom during its residence time on the island. In the presence of strong step edge barriers this factor can be large, leading to a substantial error in previous attempts to experimentally determine barrier energies from the onset of second layer nucleation. In the first part of the paper simple analytic estimates of second layer nucleation rates based on a comparison of the relevant time scales will be reviewed. In the main part the theory of second layer nucleation is applied to the growth of multilayer mounds in the presence of strong but finite step edge barriers. The shape of the mounds is obtained by numerical integration of the deterministic evolution of island boundaries, supplemented by a rule for nucleation in the top layer. For thick films the shape converges to a simple scaling solution. The scaling function is parametrized by the coverage $θ_c$ of the top layer, and takes the form of an inverse error function cut off at $θ_c$. The surface width of a film of thickness $d$ is $\sqrt{(1- θ_c) d}$. Finally, we show that the scaling solution can be derived also from a continuum growth equation.

Transmittance quantities probability distributions of waves through disordered systems

description: Waves propagate through disordered systems in a variety of regimes. There is a threshold of disorder beyond which waves become localized and transport becomes restricted. The intensity I of the wave transmitted through a system has a dependence on the length L of the sample that is characteristic of the regime. For example, I decays as 1/L in the diffusive regime. It is of current interest to characterize the transport regime of a wave from statistical studies of the transmittance quantities through it. Studies suggest that the probability distribution of the intensity could be used to characterize the localized regime. There is an ongoing debate on what deviations from the classical Rayleigh distribution are to be expected. In this numerical work, we use scalar waves to obtain the intensity, transmission, and conductance of waves through a disordered system. We calculate the intensity, by setting an incoming plane wave towards the sample from a fixed direction. The outgoing intensity is then calculated at one point in space. This process is repeated for a collection of samples belonging to the same ensemble that characterizes the disorder, and we construct the probability distribution of the intensity. In the case of transmission, we evaluate the field arriving to a series of points distributed in the far field, and repeat the same statistical analysis. For the conductance, we calculate the field at the same series of points for incoming waves in different directions. We analyze the distribution of the transmittance quantities and their change with the degree of disorder.

Clumpy galaxies in cosmological simulations: The effect of ISM model

description: We study influence by models of inter-stellar medium (ISM) on properties of galaxies in cosmological simulations. We examine three models widely used in previous studies. The ISM models impose different equations of state on dense gas. Using zoom-in simulations, we demonstrate that switching the ISM models can control formation of giant clumps in massive discs at redshifts $z\sim1$--$2$ while their initial conditions and the other settings such as stellar feedback are unchanged. Thus, not only feedback but ISM models can also be responsible for clumpy morphologies of simulated galaxies. We find, however, that changing the ISM models hardly affects global properties of galaxies, such as the total stellar and gas masses, star formation rate, metallicity and stellar angular momentum, irrespective of the significant difference of clumpiness; namely the ISM models only change clumpiness of discs. In addition, our approach provides a test to investigate impact by clump formation on the evolution of disc galaxies using the same initial conditions and feedback. We find that clump formation does not significantly alter the properties of galaxies and therefore could not be the causes of starburst or quenching.

Coset Character Identities in Superstring Compactifications

description: We apply the coset character identities (generalization of Jacobi's abstruse identity) to compact and noncompact Gepner models. In the both cases, we prove that the partition function actually vanishes due to the spacetime supersymmetry. In the case of the compact models and discrete parts of the noncompact models, the partition function includes the expected vanishing factor. But the character identities used to the continuous part of the noncompact models suggest that these models have twice as many supersymmetry as expected. This fact is an evidence for the conjecture that the holographically dual of the string theory on an actually singular Calabi-Yau manifold is a super CONFORMAL field theory. The extra SUSY charges are interpreted as the superconformal S generators.

description: A new small molecule glycoprotein SPG-8700 with potential anti-colorectal cancer activity was firstly separated by tracking of bioactivity from a new sweet potato variety Zhongshu-1. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography and amino acid analyzer were applied separately to determine the molecular weight and compositions of this glycoprotein. Flow cytometry analysis and western blotting analysis were employed to explore it’s mechanism of the anti-colorectal cancer. The molecular weight of glycoprotein was 8703.8D (SPG-8700). Relative sugar and protein contents in SPG-8700 were 73.4 and 26.6%, comprising more than 6 types of sugars (mannose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, glucose, galactose and arabinose with a proportion of 1:6.9:7.3:1.5:46:21). Further results indicated that SPG-8700 promoted apoptosis in HCT-116 cells through regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax and had no effect on the growth of normal cells.
