description: Elevated inflammatory cytokines in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) affect the lungs leading to pneumonitis with a poor prognosis. Tocilizumab, a type of humanized monoclonal antibody antagonizing interleukin-6 receptors, is currently utilized to treat COVID-19. The present study reviews tocilizumab adverse drug events (ADEs) reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database. All suspected ADEs associated with tocilizumab between April to August 2020 were analyzed based on COVID-19 patients’ demographic and clinical variables, and severity of involvement of organ system. A total of 1005 ADEs were reported among 513 recipients. The majority of the ADEs (46.26%) were reported from 18-64 years, were males and reported spontaneously. Around 80%, 20%, and 64% were serious, fatal, and administered intravenously, respectively. “Injury, Poisoning, and Procedural Complications” remain as highest (35%) among categorized ADEs. Neutropenia, hypofibrinogenemia were common hematological ADEs. The above 64 years was found to have significantly lower odds than of below 45 years. In comparison, those in the European Region have substantially higher odds compared to the Region of Americas. Neutropenia, superinfections, reactivation of latent infections, hepatitis, and cardiac abnormalities were common ADEs observed that necessitate proper monitoring and reporting.

description: The mean time between failures (MTBF) of HPC systems is rapidly reducing, and that current failure recovery mechanisms e.g., checkpoint-restart, will no longer be able to recover the systems from failures. Early failure detection is a new class of failure recovery methods that can be beneficial for HPC systems with short MTBF. System logs (syslogs) are invaluable source of information which give us a deep insight about system behavior, and make the early failure detection possible. Beside normal information, syslogs contain sensitive data which might endanger users' privacy. Even though analyzing various syslogs is necessary for creating a general failure detection/prediction method, privacy concerns discourage system administrators to publish syslogs. Herein, we ensure user privacy via de-identifying syslogs, and then turning the applied constraint for addressing users' privacy into an advantage for system behavior analysis. Results indicate significant reduction in required storage space and 3 times shorter processing time.

description: Promising solutions for the alignment of 3D views based on representation learning approaches have been proposed very recently. The potentials of these solutions that could positively affect the 3D object registration has yet to be extensively tested. In fact, a direct comparison among advisable technologies is still lacking, especially if the focus is on different data types and real-time application requirements. This work is a first contribution in this direction since we perform an independent extended comparison among prominent deep learning-driven 3D view alignment solutions by considering two relevant setups: 1) data coming from commodity 3D sensors, and 2) denser data coming from a handheld 3D optical scanner. While for the first scenario reference datasets exist, we collect and release the new benchmark dataset DenseMatch for the second setup.

description: The Dynamo effect is used to describe the generation of magnetic fields in astrophysical objects. However, no rigorous derivation of the dynamo equation is available. We justify the form of the equation using an Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of the relevant fields. We also calculate the coefficients of the OPE series using a dynamic renormalisation group approach and discuss the time evolution of the initial conditions on the initial seed magnetic field.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The study material was collected in 2004 and 2005 during commercial cruises to the Irminger Sea on board the Polish vessel MT “Wiesbaden”. The ichthyological studies of the pelagic Sebastes mentella include detailed biological analyses, length measurements, otolith collection for age determinations, and digital images of the redfish for meristic and morphometric characters analysis. Comparison of the pelagic redfish from the northeastern and southwestern areas of the Irminger Sea indicates that there are a number of differences, including differences in spatial and vertical distribution, ambient temperature, length and age composition and morphometric–meristic characteristics. Significant differences between fish samples from the northeastern fishing grounds at depths greater than 500 m and fish from the southwestern fishing grounds at depths shallower than 500 m were observed in the number of fin rays in the back part of the dorsal fin, in the pectoral fin, and in the number of gillrakers. The share of the “pelagic deep‐sea” component in the northeastern area was nearly 92%, whereas the “oceanic” component dominated in the southwestern area and comprised more than 88% of the fish there. Cluster and principal component analyses suggest that the oceanic component is a more homogeneous group than the deep‐sea component. The results support the management units recently advised and established by ICES.

description: Purpose: The main purpose of this article is to understand the motivations for Bhutanese students to study hospitality and tourism courses. The second objective is to analyse what countries are the preferred destinations for study abroad and visitation for students. This includes focussing on new course topic areas such as sustainability for business in hospitality and tourism courses. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative methodology approach was undertaken with two surveys administered to the first and second student intakes into the Bhutan Middle Management Hotel Program. Motivational and reasoned action theory form the basis of the theoretical framework to understand behavioural intentions regarding educational choices in hospitality and tourism courses. Findings: The results of the surveys indicate that the main motivations to study hospitality and tourism are for attraction, career opportunities, status, broader benefits and aptitude. In addition, it was found that students studying hospitality and tourism in Bhutan are likely to stay in the sector for a long period of time thereby contributing to the economic and social development of Bhutan. Moreover, it was found that the United Nations Sustainable Development goals are increasingly being integrated into the tourism and hospitality sector, which is influencing students to study these topic areas. Research limitations/implications: The results of this study will help government and hospitality providers support educational training programs by focussing on new education topic areas. This study is limited to Bhutan. Practical implications: The results of this study will help government and hospitality providers support educational training programs by focussing on new education topic areas such as sustainability for business management. This will enable hospitality and tourism providers in Bhutan to update their curriculum and to focus on emerging industry needs. Originality/value: This is amongst the first studies on Bhutanese students motivations for studying hospitality and tourism. It will provide practical and policy advise about how to train workers in order to become less reliant on foreign training providers and the importance of integrating sustainability topics in course design.

description: The statistics of persistent events, recently introduced in the context of phase ordering dynamics, is investigated in the case of the 1D lattice random walk in discrete time. We determine the survival probability of the random walker in the presence of an obstacle moving ballistically with velocity v, i.e., the probability that the walker remains up to time n on the left of the obstacle. Three regimes are to be considered for the long-time behavior of this probability, according to the sign of the difference between v and the drift velocity V of the random walker. In one of these regimes (v>V), the survival probability has a non-trivial limit at long times, which is discontinuous at all rational values of v. An algebraic approach allows us to compute these discontinuities, as well as several related quantities. The mathematical structure underlying the solvability of this model combines elementary number theory, algebraic functions, and algebraic curves defined over the rationals.

These observations include the necessary and sufficient conditions for supersymmetry breaking. The two conditions are based on non-rigorous arguments, and we show examples where they are too restrictive. Dynamical effects present in models with product gauge groups are given special attention.

description: Novel perspectives of controlling molecular systems have recently arisen from the possibility of generating attosecond pulses in the ultraviolet regime and tailoring electron dynamics in its natural time scale. The cornerstone mechanism is the so-called charge migration, he production of a coherent charge transfer with subfemtosecond oscillations across a molecule. Typically, charge migration is induced by the ionization of valence molecular orbitals. However, recent technological developments allow the generation of attosecond pulses in the x-ray regime. In this case, the absorption of photons creates core-hole states. In light elements, core-hole states mainly decay by Auger processes that, driven by electron correlations, involve valence orbitals. We theoretically demonstrate in a fluoroacetylene molecule a double-hole charge migration triggered by attosecond core-electron photoionization, followed by Auger electron relaxations. This opens a new route for inducing with x rays charge transfer processes in the subfemtosecond time scale.
Quasiparticle relaxation dynamics in cuprates and lifetimes of low-energy states: Femtosecond data from underdoped to overdoped YBCO and mercury compounds

description: We show that low-energy spectral features in the cuprates can be separated into different components by the measurement of the recombination dynamics of different low-energy excitations in real-time using femtosecond laser spectroscopy. Quasiparticle (QP) recombination across the gap and intra-gap localized state relaxation processes exhibit qualitatively different time- and temperature-dependences. The relaxation measurements also show the existence of two distinct coexisting energy gaps near optimum doping and in the overdoped region, one more or less temperature independent (which exists above and below Tc) and one which closes at Tc in a mean-field like fashion. Thus systematic studies of QP recombination as a function of doping and temperature suggest that the ground state of the cuprates is a mixed Boson-Fermion system with localised states present over the entire region of the phase diagram.

It is explained here how such results can arise in an approach where one sums over topologies and imposes the extremality condition after quantization.

description: We study the phenomenology of the two Higgs doublet model with a real singlet scalar $S$ (2HDMS). The model predicts three CP-even Higgses $h_{1,2,3}$, one CP-odd $A^0$ and a pair of charged Higgs. We discuss the consistency of the 2HDMS with theoretical as well as with all available experimental data. In contrast with previous studies, we focus on the scenario where $h_2$ is the Standard Model (SM) 125 GeV Higgs, while $h_1$ is lighter than $h_2$ which may open a window for Higgs to Higgs decays. We perform an extensive scan into the parameter space of 2HDMS of type I and explore the effect of the singlet-doublet admixture. We found that a large singlet-doublet admixture is still compatible with the recent Higgs data from LHC. Moreover, we show that $h_1$ could be quasi-fermiophobic and would decay dominantly into two photons. We also study in details the consistency of the non-detected decay of $h_2\to h_1 h_1$ with LHC data followed by $h_1\to γγ$ which leads to four photons final state at LHC: $pp\to h_2\to h_1 h_1\to 4γ$. Using the results of null searches of multi-photons carried by the ATLAS collaboration, we have found that a large area of the parameter space is still allowed. We also demonstrate that various neutral Higgs of the 2HDMS could have several exotic decays.

In one dimension we derive the long-time skew distribution approaching the symmetric stationary Gaussian distribution. In the short time regime we discuss heuristically the nonlinear soliton contributions and derive an expression for the distribution in accordance with the directed polymer-replica model and asymmetric exclusion model results.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we explore in detail the cosmological implications of an abelian $L_μ-L_τ$ gauge extension of the Standard Model featuring a light and weakly coupled $Z'$. Such a scenario is motivated by the longstanding $\sim \, 4 σ$ discrepancy between the measured and predicted values of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, $(g-2)_μ$, as well as the tension between late and early time determinations of the Hubble constant. If sufficiently light, the $Z'$ population will decay to neutrinos, increasing the overall energy density of radiation and altering the expansion history of the early universe. We identify two distinct regions of parameter space in this model in which the Hubble tension can be significantly relaxed. The first of these is the previously identified region in which a $\sim \, 10-20$ MeV $Z'$ reaches equilibrium in the early universe and then decays, heating the neutrino population and delaying the process of neutrino decoupling. For a coupling of $g_{μ-τ} \simeq (3-8) \times 10^{-4}$, such a particle can also explain the observed $(g-2)_μ$ anomaly. In the second region, the $Z'$ is very light ($m_{Z'} \sim 1\,\text{eV}$ to $\text{MeV}$) and very weakly coupled ($g_{μ-τ} \sim 10^{-13}$ to $10^{-9}$). In this case, the $Z'$ population is produced through freeze-in, and decays to neutrinos after neutrino decoupling. Across large regions of parameter space, we predict a contribution to the energy density of radiation that can appreciably relax the reported Hubble tension, $ΔN_{\rm eff} \simeq 0.2$.

description: An unusual four-dimensional generally covariant and supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory is described. The theory has propagating degrees of freedom, and is invariant under a local (left-handed) chiral supersymmetry, which is half the supersymmetry of supergravity. The Hamiltonian 3+1 decomposition of the theory reveals the remarkable feature that the local supersymmetry is a consequence of Yang-Mills symmetry, in a manner reminiscent of how general coordinate invariance in Chern-Simons theory is a consequence of Yang-Mills symmetry. It is possible to write down an infinite number of conserved currents, which strongly suggests that the theory is classically integrable. A possible scheme for non-perturbative quantization is outlined. This utilizes ideas that have been developed and applied recently to the problem of quantizing gravity.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Coastal waters are home to myriad microbes that are responsible for much of the metabolism of the ecosystem. However, this habitat is vulnerable to human impact and threatened by global changes. Therefore, it is crucial to understand processes and interspecies interactions within the microbial foodwebs because they control the occurrence and activity of the microorganisms. Free‐living nano‐sized flagellates are important bacterivores in aquatic habitats, but some forms can also be omnivorous (i.e. prey on both bacteria and eukaryotes). We followed the response of an uncultured group of omnivorous cercozoan nanoflagellates from the Novel Clade 2 (Cerc_BAL02) to experimental foodweb manipulation in samples from the Gulf of Gdańsk (southern Baltic Sea). Seawater was either prefiltered through 5 μm filters to exclude larger predators of nanoflagellates (P‐treatment) or prefiltered and subsequently 1 : 10 diluted with sterile seawater (P+D‐treatment) to stimulate the growth of both flagellates and bacteria. Initially, Cerc_BAL02 were rapidly enriched under both conditions. They clearly selected for eukaryotic prey but also readily ingested bacteria, and they were highly competitive at low concentrations of both food types. However, these omnivores were later only successful in the P+D‐treatment, where they eventually represented almost one‐fifth of all aplastidic nanoflagellates. By contrast, their numbers stagnated in the P‐treatment, possibly as a result of top‐down control by a concomitant bloom of other, unidentified flagellates. In analogy with observations about the enrichment of opportunistically growing bacteria in comparable experimental set‐ups we suggest that the small numbers of omnivorous Cerc_BAL02 flagellates in the waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk might be related to their vulnerability to grazing pressure.

description: Inelastic collapse is found in a two-dimensional system of inelastic hard disks confined between two walls which act as an energy source. As the coefficient of restitution is lowered, there is a transition between a state containing small collapsed clusters and a state dominated by a large collapsed cluster. The transition is analogous to that of a percolation transition. At the transition the number of clusters n_s of size s scales as $n_s \sim s^{-τ}$ with $τ\approx 2.7$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ecological links between the physical environment of the ocean and the mid to upper trophic levels of pelagic foodwebs are the lower trophic levels comprising microbial primary producers (phytoplankton) and microbial secondary producers (bacterioplankton, heterotrophic protists). In the North Atlantic Ocean, standardized annual average anomalies of oceanic hydrography (WGOH) and of mesozooplankton (WGZE) derived from time‐series observations at monitoring sites located across the entire basin provide long‐term trends suitable for discerning climate variability and change. Here we (Working Group on Phytoplankton and Microbial Ecology, WGPME) describe work in progress aimed at establishing contemporaneous trends at similar scales of space and time for phytoplankton and other microbial plankton (and associated variables such as inorganic nutrients) with a view towards understanding climatic and anthropogenic signal propagation from the abiotic environment to higher trophic levels.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Effects of global warming on the abundance and cellular properties of planktonic heterotrophic bacteria have been traditionally overlooked. We analyse here the temporal patterns in the distribution, abundance, and size of heterotrophic bacterioplankton after 9 years of monthly samplings in the southern Bay of Biscay continental shelf off Xixón and A Coruña (Spain). Total abundance (0.2–1.5 × 106 cells mL–1) exhibited a unimodal distribution in A Coruña, with maxima in August and minima in February, and a bimodal distribution in Xixón, with maxima in April and October and minima in January and July. The weak temperature‐dependence in Xixón can be partly explained by summer resource limitation. We also examined the contribution of the two widespread groups detected by flow cytometry—bacteria with low and high nucleic acid content (LNA and HNA, respectively). HNA cells are usually larger and more dependent on phytoplankton than their LNA counterparts. The contribution of HNA cells exhibited a distinct seasonality in Xixón, with maxima (>80%) in April and minima in summer (~40%). Contrasting long‐term trends in bacterial biomass were detected at the two sites, decreasing in A Coruña and increasing in Xixón, where the mean annual value was 50% higher by 2010. Although tight associations with warming are precluded by lack of extended records, we demonstrate that increases in abundance were accompanied by decreases in HNA cell size, as predicted by the temperature–size rule. Whether or not heterotrophic bacteria will become increasingly important in a warmer future has profound implications for biogeochemical carbon cycling in the oceans.

description: Olanzapine is widely used for treating schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. Due to its high pharmacokinetic variability, several population pharmacokinetic studies have been performed to identify factors contributing to the variability and thus facilitate individualized dosing. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of published population pharmacokinetic studies and explore potential covariates. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases from their inception to 31 December 2022. Information on the study design, characteristics, and final parameter estimates was summarized and compared. Monte Carlo simulations provided visual predictive distributions to compare eligible studies. Forest plots were constructed to explore the effects of covariates on olanzapine pharmacokinetics. A total of 10 population pharmacokinetic and three population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies involving infants, children, adolescents, and adults were finally included. The median apparent clearance was 0.253 L/h/kg in adults, 27–43% lower than that of infants and children. Men and smokers increased the apparent clearance of olanzapine by 32% and 34%, respectively. The concentration required to achieve half of the maximum effect for the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total score was 24.80 ng/mL, comparable with 22.32 ng/mL for dopamine D2 receptor occupancy. A higher dosage may be required for men or heavy smokers than for women or nonsmokers to reach the same exposure. Moreover, further population studies are essential to be conducted to clarify the dose-exposure-response relationship of olanzapine. CRD42022368637

description: Five mouse macrophage cell lines were tested for chemotaxis and phagocytosis. All 5 cell lines ingested sheep red cells coated with rabbit IgG anti-Forssman antibody and exhibited chemotaxis to endotoxin-activated mouse serum (EAMS) and lymphocyte-derived chemotactic factor. Two cell lines were tested for chemotaxis to f-Met-Leu-Phe and neither responded. Four of the cell lines (RAW264, RAW309CR, PU5-1R, and WR19M.1) exhibited chemotaxis to C5a. These cell lines displayed a 1- to 2-hr lag before migrating toward EAMS, and chemotaxis was dependent upon cell density. When fewer than 10(3) cells were present per mm2 of filter surface, less than 10% of the cells migrated; however, at a density of 5 X 10(3) cells/mm2 50 to 70% of the cells migrated. WEHI-3 differed from the other cell lines in that there was no chemotaxis to C5a, migration to EAMS did not have a detectable lag, and there was no cell density dependence for chemotaxis. Comparison of these chemotactic properties with those reported in the literature for mouse macrophages and monocytes suggests that RAW264, RAW309CR, PU5-1R, and WR19M.1 have properties that are similar to those of mouse resident macrophages, whereas WEHI-3 may have some of the properties of mouse monocytes.

description: What would it mean to write an Animal History of the Middle Ages? This article focuses on this question and is intended as a reflection on the relationship between the study of Medieval History and the (socio-)historical foundations of human–animal relations. It makes a plea for a social history of the Middle Ages beyond an anachronistic anthropocentrism. The conception of a history of animals in the Middle Ages must move away from a juxtaposi­tion of humans and animals and locate human–animal relationships in the hierarchically stratified world order of the pre-modern era. This article aims to raise aware­ness of the necessity to write a medieval social history based on assemblages that are more than human. Such a social history is to be understood as a relational history that was shaped by historically specific human–animal relations and in turn helped to shape them. On the basis of three assemblages, namely the knight–warhorse duo, the agricultural collaborative work of peasant and ox, and the handling of so-called ‘pests’, the article argues that social and gender orders and their logics of domi­nation cannot be adequately grasped without explicitly including human–animal relationships into the study of medieval societies.

description: We study the Brans-Dicke model in the presence of an axion. The dynamical equations are solved when the fields are space independent and the metric is spatially flat. It is found that at late time the scale factor undergoes decelerated expansion but the dilaton grows large. At early time, scale factor and the dilaton approach constants.

The Semantics of Resource Sharing in Lexical-Functional Grammar

description: We argue that the resource sharing that is commonly manifest in semantic accounts of coordination is instead appropriately handled in terms of structure-sharing in LFG f-structures. We provide an extension to the previous account of LFG semantics (Dalrymple et al., 1993b) according to which dependencies between f-structures are viewed as resources; as a result a one-to-one correspondence between uses of f-structures and meanings is maintained. The resulting system is sufficiently restricted in cases where other approaches overgenerate; the very property of resource-sensitivity for which resource sharing appears to be problematic actually provides explanatory advantages over systems that more freely replicate resources during derivation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Black carbon (BC) is a form of aerosol emitted as soot during biomass burning or coal and diesel combustion. BC is associated with other aerosols (sulfates, nitrates, organic acids, etc.) and contributes to global warming and climate change. Studies have also demonstrated that BC may alter sedimentation and microbial processes in the water column. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different types of BC (diesel particulate matter, DPM; urban dust, UD; rice char, RC) on (i) the availability of dissolved nitrogen (DIN and DON) and organic carbon (DOC and POC) and (ii) the growth of cultivated phytoplanktonic key species and bacterial communities isolated from an anthropogenically perturbed area (Halong Bay). The availability of N and C was measured before and 24 h after the addition of different BC concentrations (1–10 mg l–1) in nutrientenriched artificial seawater. The effect of the same range of BC addition was also tested on the growth of phytoplanktonic species and bacterial communities using optical density increases over a few days. At 10 mg l–1, a reduction of DIN availability was observed with DPM and RC addition. An increase of DIN availability was measured with UD addition. Significant growth inhibition (2045% inhibition after 3 d) was observed after RC addition for two species of green algae (Dunaliella tertiolecta, Nannochloris sp.) and a member of the Cyanophyceae (from 1 mg l–1). Significant growth inhibition was also observed after UD addition for green algae, whereas DPM addition seemed to have no effect on all species. These results demonstrate that BC affects nutrient concentrations and planktonic growth differently depending on its composition.

description: We study theoretically low-temperature phases of a recently synthesized compound Sr$_2$CoO$_3$F under pressure. The analysis combining LDA+DMFT and a strong-coupling effective model points to the existence of not only normal paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic regimes, but also a spin-state ordered phase in a certain range of applied pressure and low temperature. This order is characterized by a checkerboard arrangement of different spin states of cobalt atoms in the lattice.

description: Heavy sterile neutrinos are typically invoked to accommodate the observed neutrino masses, by positing a new Yukawa term connecting these new states to the neutrinos in the electroweak doublet. However, given our ignorance of the neutrino sector we should explore additional interactions such sterile neutrinos may have with the SM. In this paper, we study the dimension-5 operator which couples the heavy state to a light neutrino and the photon. We find that the recent XENON1T direct detection data can improve the limits on this "Neutrino Dipole Portal" by up to an order of magnitude over previous bounds. Future direct detection experiments may be able to extend these bounds down to the level probed by SN1987A.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Along the French Mediterranean coast, many lagoons are subjected to increasing anthropogenic pressure and appear to be particularly sensitive to climate change. Since 2001, the trophic state of seven lagoons has been followed based on monitoring of physical, chemical, and biological variables of the water column. Initially, summer phytoplankton chlorophyll a (Chl a) maxima reached 20–390 μg l–1 depending on the lagoon. In 2005, the installation of a 10km offshore outfall system diverted secondarily treated waters from the sewage treatment plant of the Montpellier district (450 000 inhabitants) and led to a major decrease in nutrient input to the lagoons in the vicinity of the previous outfall. This anthropogenic decrease also corresponded to a natural decrease related to three consecutive dry years, limiting nutrient inputs from point and non‐point sources. Total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus (TP), and suspended Chl a were used as integrating variables allowing us to show an improvement in lagoon water quality. Five years after implementation of the outfall, summer concentrations of TN and TP were decreased by factors of 1.5 to 4, and Chl a concentrations were decreased by factors of 10–55, depending on the lagoon. In response to decreased anthropogenic inputs, the structure of the phytoplankton communities, in terms of pigment composition (diatoms, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria), densities (pico‐ and nanoplankton), and diversity, has also changed. The Chl a decrease in particular was associated with a decrease in diatom pigment markers and an increase in dinoflagellate pigment markers.

description: Leibniz used the term fiction in conjunction with infinitesimals. What kind of fictions they were exactly is a subject of scholarly dispute. The position of Bos and Mancosu contrasts with that of Ishiguro and Arthur. Leibniz's own views, expressed in his published articles and correspondence, led Bos to distinguish between two methods in Leibniz's work: (A) one exploiting classical `exhaustion' arguments, and (B) one exploiting inassignable infinitesimals together with a law of continuity. Of particular interest is evidence stemming from Leibniz's work Nouveaux Essais sur l'Entendement Humain as well as from his correspondence with Arnauld, Bignon, Dagincourt, Des Bosses, and Varignon. A careful examination of the evidence leads us to the opposite conclusion from Arthur's. We analyze a hitherto unnoticed objection of Rolle's concerning the lack of justification for extending axioms and operations in geometry and analysis from the ordinary domain to that of infinitesimal calculus, and reactions to it by Saurin and Leibniz. A newly released 1705 manuscript by Leibniz (Puisque des personnes...) currently in the process of digitalisation, sheds light on the nature of Leibnizian inassignable infinitesimals. In a pair of 1695 texts Leibniz made it clear that his incomparable magnitudes violate Euclid's Definition V.4, a.k.a. the Archimedean property, corroborating the non-Archimedean construal of the Leibnizian calculus. Keywords: Archimedean property; assignable vs inassignable quantity; Euclid's Definition V.4; infinitesimal; law of continuity; law of homogeneity; logical fiction; Nouveaux Essais; pure fiction; quantifier-assisted paraphrase; syncategorematic; transfer principle; Arnauld; Bignon; Des Bosses; Rolle; Saurin; Varignon
