Abstract
Pazopanib (Votrient®), an orally administered multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor that predominantly inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1, -2 and -3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α and -β, and the stem cell factor receptor c-Kit, is approved in the EU, the USA and other countries for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In randomized controlled trials in patients with advanced, predominantly clear-cell RCC, pazopanib significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with placebo in both treatment-naïve and cytokine-pretreated patients and, as a first-line therapy, was noninferior to intermittent sunitinib with respect to PFS. However, pazopanib had a tolerability profile that was distinguishable from that of sunitinib, based on lower incidences of most adverse events, particularly those associated with discomfort, such as fatigue, hand-foot syndrome and stomatitis. Consistent with this, health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) measures evaluating fatigue, hand/foot soreness and mouth/throat soreness significantly favoured pazopanib over sunitinib. In addition, significantly more patients expressed a preference for pazopanib over sunitinib, primarily because of better overall HR-QOL and less fatigue. Efficacy and tolerability findings from these prospective clinical trials have been substantiated by evidence from a number of retrospective studies evaluating unselected real-world patients with metastatic RCC who received pazopanib (or sunitinib) as a first-line therapy. Thus, data from clinical trials supplemented with that from clinical practice support the use of pazopanib as a standard or alternative first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic RCC.

Abstract
Hexaminolevulinate [Cysview® (USA); Hexvix® (EU)], an ester derivative of 5-aminolevulinate, is a valuable option for the diagnosis of bladder cancer when used in conjunction with blue-light (BL) cystoscopy. In clinical trials, the addition of hexaminolevulinate-guided BL cystoscopy to white-light (WL) cystoscopy was generally better at detecting non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer lesions than WL cystoscopy alone, as assessed by a number of endpoints (e.g. increased number and rate of lesion detection), leading to increased rates of complete treatment decisions. Add-on hexaminolevulinate-guided BL cystoscopy reduced tumour recurrence rates relative to WL cystoscopy alone in follow-up studies and, although further studies are needed, may potentially improve survival-related outcomes. Hexaminolevulinate is generally very well tolerated when used to guide BL cystoscopy, with the most common adverse events (i.e. haematuria, dysuria, pain and bladder spasm) being expected as a consequence of the resection procedure.

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs), more generally, BHs, undergo evaporation and, in principle, will end their lives in bursts of very high-energy gamma rays. The notable aspect of the PBHs with an initial mass of $\sim10^{14}$ g is that they are expected to end their lives today. In this work, we assess the potential sensitivity of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in detecting the local burst rate density of PBHs. Our results suggest that LHAASO is capable of probing for PBH bursts within a proximity of $\sim0.1$ pc from the Sun, measuring a local burst rate density of $\sim$ 1200 (or 700)$\,\mathrm{pc}^{-3}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ with $99\%$ confidence during a 3-year (or 5-year) observational campaign. This level of sensitivity surpasses the most rigorous observational constraint provided by the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) by an order of magnitude. Additionally, we propose data analysis strategies for LHAASO to optimize the search for PBHs and reach its potential detection limits.

Generalization of a reduced Trefftz type approach
Creators: name: Diab, Sulaiman Abo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science (cs.CE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Summary This work presents variational concepts associated with reduced Trefftz type approaches and discusses the interrelationship between various concepts of the displacement, hybrid and Trefftz methods. The basic concept of the displacement version of the reduced Trefftz method operates on the natural boundary conditions enforced in an integral form whereas the stress version of the reduced Trefftz type approach operates on the essential boundary conditions enforced in an integral sense. The application of the method proposed in the framework of the finite element method is briefly outlined. The methods used by the reduced Trefftz type approach for enforcing conformity and interelement continuity between neighboured elements are also discussed. Comparisons with other known methods for the same purpose are performed. General strategy for developing finite elements of general geometric form such as quadrilateral elements with invariance properties is presented. The basic idea of this strategy consists in using the natural coordinate system only for defining the element geometry and performing the element integration in the biunit interval. For defining the approximation functions a local coordinate system defined from the directions of the covariant base vectors and the perpendicular contravariant base vectors computed in the geometric centre of the element is used. This strategy can also be used to implement other versions of finite elements and other forms of finite elements. Different numerical calculations and comparisons in the linear statics and kinetics are performed in order to assess the convergence and the numerical performance of finite elements developed by applying the reduced Trefftz type approach.

Abstract
Oral desvenlafaxine extended-release [Deller (Brazil); Pristiq (USA)] is a second-generation, selective serotonin-noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor that is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. In this population, desvenlafaxine is an effective and generally well tolerated treatment, significantly improving symptoms of depression and functional outcomes compared with placebo in 8-week double-blind trials, with these benefits maintained during longer-term therapy. In addition, desvenlafaxine is an effective and generally well tolerated treatment in postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS), significantly reducing the number and severity of hot flushes during 12-week trials, with these benefits maintained during longer-term therapy.

description: The generator QEDPS, a parton shower model in QED, developed by the present authors has been improved. By a careful study on the shower algorithm it was found that some finite contributions have been missed in the original version. They are small, but cannot be neglected when the contribution of the soft photons is dominant. A method is presented to correct these finite pieces and then a new generator, improved QEDPS, is proposed, which is able to make more precise prediction for the processes observed in e+e- annihilation as far as the initial radiation is concerned.

description: Near-infrared array detectors, like the \JWST NIRSpec's Teledyne's H2RGs, often provide reference pixels and a reference output. These are used to remove correlated noise. Improved Reference Sampling and Subtraction (\IRSSquare, pronounced "IRS-square") is a statistical technique for using this reference information optimally in a least squares sense. Compared to "traditional" H2RG readout, \IRSSquare uses a different clocking pattern to interleave many more reference pixels into the data than is otherwise possible. Compared to standard reference correction techniques, \IRSSquare subtracts the reference pixels and reference output using a statistically optimized set of frequency dependent weights. The benefits include somewhat lower noise variance and much less obvious correlated noise. NIRSpec's \IRSSquare images are cosmetically clean, with less $1/f$ banding than in traditional data from the same system. This article describes the \IRSSquare clocking pattern and presents the equations that are needed to use \IRSSquare in systems other than NIRSpec. For NIRSpec, applying these equations is already an option in the calibration pipeline. As an aid to instrument builders, we provide our prototype \IRSSquare calibration software and sample \JWST NIRSpec data. The same techniques are applicable to other detector systems, including those based on Teledyne's H4RG arrays. The H4RG's "interleaved reference pixel readout" mode is effectively one \IRSSquare pattern.

description: We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. The conversion rates are found to be very high, with inverse Edelstein lengths up to 2.0 +/- 0.5 nm. The influence of the HgTe layer thickness on the conversion efficiency has been studied, as well as the role of a HgCdTe barrier inserted in-between the HgTe and NiFe layers. These measurements, associated to the temperature dependence of the resistivity, allows to ascribe these high conversion rates to the spin momentum locking property of HgTe surface states.

description: We demonstrate a technique for continuous tuning of the Hanle effect from electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) by changing the polarization ellipticity of a control beam. In contrast to previous work in this field, we use spatially separated probe and control beams. The experiments are done using magnetic sublevels of the $ F_g = 4 \rightarrow F_e = 5 $ closed hyperfine transition in the 852 nm D$_2$ line of $^{133}$Cs. The atoms are contained in a room temperature vapor cell with anti-relaxation (paraffin) coating on the walls. The paraffin coating is necessary for the atomic coherence to be transported between the beams. The experimental results are supported by a density-matrix analysis of the system, which also explains the observed amplitude and zero-crossing of the resonances. Such continuous tuning of the sign of a resonance has important applications in quantum memory and other precision measurements.

Attention is given to a list of preachers known for having divine healing ministries in 1950. Several questions are raised about accountability, transparency, and women in ministry.
The author suggests Bosworth's role as mentor was not enough to prevent some of the preachers from going astray or to shield some of them from scandal and early death.

description: Optical binding allows creation of mechanically stable nanoparticle configurations owing to formation of self-consistent optical trapping potentials. While the classical diffraction limit prevents achieving deeply subwavelength arrangements, auxiliary nanostructures enable tailoring optical forces via additional interaction channels. Here, a dimer configuration next to metal surface was analyzed in details and the contribution of surface plasmon polariton waves was found to govern the interaction dynamics. It was shown that the interaction channel, mediated by resonant surface waves, enables achieving subwavelength stable dimers. Furthermore, the vectorial structure of surface modes allows binding between two dipole nanoparticles along the direction of their dipole moments, contrary to vacuum binding, where a stable configuration is formed in the direction oriented perpendicularly to the polarization of dipole moments. In addition, the enhancement of optical binding stiffness for one order of magnitude was predicted owing to the surface plasmon polariton interaction channel. These phenomena pave a way for developing new flexible optical manipulators, allowing for the control over a nanoparticle trajectory on subwavelength scales and opens a room of opportunities for optical-induced anisotropic, i.e. with different periods along the field polarization as well as perpendicular to it, organization of particles on a plasmonic substrate.
Tilting the Primordial Power Spectrum with Bulk Viscosity

description: Within the context of the cold dark matter model, current observations suggest that inflationary models which generate a tilted primordial power spectrum with negligible gravitational waves provide the most promising mechanism for explaining large scale clustering. The general form of the inflationary potential which produces such a spectrum is a hyperbolic function and is interpreted physically as a bulk viscous stress contribution to the energy-momentum of a perfect baryotropic fluid. This is equivalent to expanding the equation of state as a truncated Taylor series. Particle physics models which lead to such a potential are discussed.

Deep Active Inference

Subjects: subject: Neurons and Cognition (q-bio.NC)

description: This work combines the free energy principle from cognitive neuroscience and the ensuing active inference dynamics with recent advances in variational inference in deep generative models, and evolution strategies to introduce the "deep active inference" agent. This agent minimises a variational free energy bound on the average surprise of its sensations, which is motivated by a homeostatic argument. It does so by optimising the parameters of a generative latent variable model of its sensory inputs, together with a variational density approximating the posterior distribution over the latent variables, given its observations, and by acting on its environment to actively sample input that is likely under this generative model. The internal dynamics of the agent are implemented using deep and recurrent neural networks, as used in machine learning, making the deep active inference agent a scalable and very flexible class of active inference agent. Using the mountain car problem, we show how goal directed behaviour can be implemented by defining appropriate priors on the latent states in the agent's model. Furthermore, we show that the deep active inference agent can learn a generative model of the environment, which can be sampled from to understand the agent's beliefs about the environment and its interaction therewith.

Bending the web: exploring the impact of modified gravity on the density field and halo properties within the cosmic web

description: This work investigates the impact of different Modified Gravity (MG) models on the large-scale structures (LSS) properties in relation to the cosmic web (CW), using N-body simulations of f(R) and nDGP models. We analyse the impact of the MG effect on the density field through density distribution and clustering statistics, and assess its influence on halo properties by examining the halo mass function and spin. We find that the PDF of dark matter density fields shift towards lower densities for stronger variants of f(R) and nDGP. Additionally, when segregated into CW environments, the stronger variants show a higher mean density in knots, and a lower mean density in voids compared to LCDM. For higher-order clustering statistics relative to LCDM, the scale-dependent f(R) variants exhibit a greater non-monotonic deviation as a function of scale when segregated into environments, compared to nDGP. Additionally, the halo mass function separated into CW environments shows a similar behaviour, introducing complex trends as a function of mass for f(R) and nDGP models. We also report up to a 15% enhancement in the angular momentum of halos in f(R) gravity models compared to LCDM, with similar differences when considering environmental segregation. We demonstrate that this difference in the spin arises largely due to different tidal torquing across the various MG models. Therefore, studying higher-order statistics of the cosmological fields and halo properties separated into CW components probes the additional physics contained within the MG models. We conclude that considering the effect of CW in MG studies increases the constraining power of these LSS statistics, and can further aid the distinction between the cosmologies that have an identical expansion history to the standard LCDM but differing underlying physics, such as the MG models presented in this work.

description: A reexamination is made of one-loop oblique electroweak corrections. General definitions are given of the oblique parameters without reference to any $q^2$-expansion scheme. The old oblique parameters S,T and U are defined as differences of gauge boson vacuum polarization $Π$-functions and suffice to describe certain observable ratios on the Z-peak and the $ρ$ parameter at $q^2=0$. Regarding the new oblique parameters V,W and X, the first two are defined in terms of differences of $Π$-functions as well as the wavefunction renormalization of the corresponding weak boson, and the third in terms of the difference of differences of two $Π$-functions for $γ-Z$ mixing. Explicit expressions for measurable quantities involving all six oblique parameters are given and experimental bounds are obtained on the latter, some for the first time. A review of these constraints suggests that the linear approximation of Peskin and Takeuchi is robust.

description: Background: The microvessel profile bases in cutaneous melanocytic lesions are poorly understood, in particular for combined Spitz tumors (CST). No study has correlated microvessel profile and HIF­1α expression with cell kinetics by topographic and phenotypic compartments in CST to date. Design: We selected combined Spitz tumor­conventional melanocytic nevi (44), and malignant melanomas (43, 23 radial growth phase MM­RGP and 20 vertical growth phase MM­VGP), the latter two groups used as controls. Immunostaining for Ki­67 and HIF­1α, and in situ end labeling (ISEL) of DNA fragments (using Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I) were scored by topographic (junctional, dermal above 0.76 mm, and dermal below 0.76 mm) and phenotypic (conventional, ST) compartments, screening the whole compartment in each case. Appropriate controls were run in each sample. CD­31­stained slides were used to estimate microvessel density. The results were statistically compared using analysis of variance and Student t­test, and considered significant if P<0.05. Results: Superficial­to­deep gradient was maintained for Ki­67 in all lesions, but was significantly higher in MM. From junctional to deep dermal compartments, ST showed a progressive and statistically significant increase of ISEL indices (5.39%, 5.84%, 9.48%), a microvessel density (4.38, 4.39, 7.41 vessels/HPF), and no correlation between them. The Ki67/ISEL index increased in MM but keeping a superficial­deep gradient in MM­RGP only. Conclusion: Localized ischemic changes drive ST morphology of combined nevi (deep dermal upregulation of HIF­1α directly correlated with apoptosis), in contrast to the apoptosis independent HIF1 upregulation of vertical growth phase MM. This over­expression represents an additional mechanism of relatively inefficient neovascularization, which does not correlate directly with the vascular density level.

description: We consider a continuous time random walk on the two-dimensional discrete torus, whose motion is governed by the discrete Gaussian free field on the corresponding box acting as a potential. More precisely, at any vertex the walk waits an exponentially distributed time with mean given by the exponential of the field and then jumps to one of its neighbors, chosen uniformly at random. We prove that throughout the low-temperature regime and at in-equilibrium timescales, the process admits a scaling limit as a spatial K-process driven by a random trapping landscape, which is explicitly related to the limiting extremal process of the field. Alternatively, the limiting process is a supercritical Liouville Brownian motion with respect to the continuum Gaussian free field on the box. This demonstrates rigorously and for the first time, as far as we know, a dynamical freezing in a spin glass system with logarithmically correlated energy levels.

description: We calculate the theoretical expectation for the bulk motion of a large scale survey of the type recently carried out by Lauer and Postman. Included are the effects of survey geometry, errors in the distance measurements, clustering properties of the sample, and different assumed power spectra. We consider the power spectrum calculated from the IRAS--QDOT survey, as well as spectra from hot $+$ cold and standard cold dark matter models. We find that sparse sampling and clustering can lead to an unexpectedly large bulk flow, even in a very deep survey. Our results suggest that the expected bulk motion is inconsistent with that reported by Lauer and Postman at the $90-94\%$ confidence level.

description: Background: Mature adrenal ganglioneuromas (MAGNs) are benign neoplasms of the combined neural crest, schwannian, and connective tissue origin, rarely occurring in the adrenal glands. This study presents the phenotypic and hormonal spectrum of these pre­operatively challenging neoplasms. Design: Demographic, diagnostic, surgical, and pathologic findings of patients who were adrenalectomized as a result of MAGN were retrospectively reviewed from the database of a tertiary referral hospital. Clinical data, as well as follow­up data, were collected retrospectively. All the patients received operative resection. Results: A total of 36 MAGN (24 males, 12 females) were retrieved. Mean age was 39.6 years (range 25–72). Thirty (83.3%) were asymptomatic, four (11.1%) complained of abdominal discomfort, and two (5.6%) had abdominal distension. Mean size of the tumors was 7.23 cm (range, 2.5­15 cm, twenty­four were larger than 5 cm). There was no recurrence, during a mean follow­up of 6.5 years (range, 1­10 years). A whorled appearance corresponding to interlacing bundles of Schwann cells and collagen fibers on histologic specimens was visualized in twelve tumors on T1­ and T2­weighted images. Tumors with markedly high signal intensity on T2­weighted images consisted histologically of a Part of: Poster VI ­ Wednesday PM ­ Endocrine 1:00 PM ­ 4:00 PM significant amount of myxoid stroma and relatively few cellular and fibrous components. Tumors with intermediate to high signal intensity consisted of numerous cellular and fibrous components and little myxoid stroma. The extra­adrenal extension was seen in 9 (6 males, three females) with a multifocal perivascular plexiform appearance and dystrophic calcification. These neoplasms were associated with gonadal type urinary steroid profile in women and interstitial Leydig cells. Conclusion: Pre­operative diagnosis of MAGNs remains difficult, in particular, those neoplasms with extra­adrenal extension. The presence in extra­adrenal neoplasms of dystrophic calcification, lobulated plexiform appearances, and gonadal type steroid in young females suggest the presence of Leydig cells, which is usually overlooked in males. A complete resection should be recommended once malignancy cannot be entirely excluded by pre­operative analyses.

description: Thioredoxins (Thrxs)—small globular proteins that reduce other proteins—are ubiquitous in all forms of life, from archaea to mammals. Although ancestral thioredoxins share sequential and structural similarity with the modern-day (extant) homologues, they exhibit significantly different functional activity and stability. We investigate this puzzle by comparative studies of their (ancient and modern-day Thrxs') native state ensemble, as quantified by the dynamic flexibility index (DFI), a metric for the relative resilience of an amino acid to perturbations in the rest of the protein. Clustering proteins using DFI profiles strongly resemble an alternate classification scheme based on their activity and stability. The DFI profiles of the extant proteins are substantially different around the α3, α4 helices and catalytic regions. Likewise, allosteric coupling of the active site with the rest of the protein is different between ancient and extant Thrxs, possibly explaining the decreased catalytic activity at low pH with evolution. At a global level, we note that the population of low-flexibility (called hinges) and high-flexibility sites increases with evolution. The heterogeneity (quantified by the variance) in DFI distribution increases with the decrease in the melting temperature typically associated with the evolution of ancient proteins to their modern-day counterparts.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Allostery and molecular machines’.

description: We develop a new theory of perfect fluids with translation and rotation symmetry, which is also applicable in the absence of any type of boost symmetry. It involves introducing a new fluid variable, the kinetic mass density, which is needed to define the most general energy-momentum tensor for perfect fluids. Our theory leads to corrections to the Euler equations for perfect fluids that might be observable in hydrodynamic fluid experiments. We also derive new expressions for the speed of sound in perfect fluids. Our theory reduces to the known perfect fluid models when boost symmetry is present. It can also be adapted to (non-relativistic) scale invariant fluids with critical exponent $z$. We show that perfect fluids cannot have Schrödinger symmetry unless $z=2$. For generic values of $z$ there can be fluids with Lifshitz symmetry, and as a concrete example, we work out in detail the thermodynamics and fluid description of an ideal gas of Lifshitz particles and compute the speed of sound for the classical and quantum Lifshitz gasses.
