description: We study the zero temperature phase diagram of an imbalanced bilayer of dipolar fermions. We consider perpendicularly aligned identical dipoles in two layers and investigate the effect of population imbalance on the ground state phase at different layer spacings and average densities. The attractive part of the interlayer interaction could lead to the BEC-BCS crossover and the Fermi surface mismatch between two layers results in interesting uniform and nonuniform superfluid phases, which we have investigated here using the BCS mean-field theory together with the superfluid-mass density criterion. The density imbalance reduces the pairing gap. At low densities, where the system is on the BEC side of the crossover, this reduction is quite smooth while a dense system rapidly becomes normal at intermediate density polarizations. Stable homogeneous superfluidity is predicted to appear on the phase diagram when the dipolar length exceeds both the layer spacing and the average intralayer distance between dipoles, a regime which should be readily accessible experimentally. This homogeneous superfluid phase becomes unstable at intermediate densities and layer spacings. We have also examined that these uniform and inhomogeneous superfluid phases survive when the effects of intralayer screenings are also incorporated in the formalism.

description: Using group catalogs from the SDSS DR7, we attempt to measure galactic conformity in the local universe. We measure the quenched fraction of neighbor galaxies around isolated primary galaxies, dividing the isolated sample into star-forming and quiescent objects. We restrict our measurements to scales $>1$ Mpc to probe the correlations between the formation histories of distinct halos. Over the stellar mass range $10^{9.7} \le M_\ast/M_\odot \le 10^{10.9}$, we find minimal statistical evidence for conformity. We further compare these data to predictions of the halo age-matching model, in which the oldest galaxies are associated with the oldest halos at fixed $M_\ast$. For models with strong correlations between halo and stellar age, the conformity signal is too large to be consistent with the data. For weaker implementations of age-matching, galactic conformity is not a sensitive diagnostic of halo assembly bias, and would not produce a detectable signal in SDSS data. We reproduce the results of Kauffmann et al 2013, in which the star formation rates of neighbor galaxies are significantly reduced around primary galaxies when the primaries are themselves low star formers. However, we find this result is mainly driven by contamination in the isolation criterion, when using our group catalog to remove the small fraction of satellite galaxies in the sample, the conformity signal largely goes away. Lastly, we show that small conformity signals, i.e., 2-5% differences in the quenched fractions of neighbor galaxies, can be produced by mechanisms other than halo assembly bias. For example, if passive galaxies occupy more massive halos than star forming galaxies of the same stellar mass, a conformity signal that is consistent with recent measurements from PRIMUS (Berti et al 2016) can be produced.

description: In nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients who fail standard intravesical treatment and are unfit or unwilling to undergo a radical cystectomy, radiofrequency (RF)-induced hyperthermia combined with intravesical chemotherapy (RF-CHT) has shown promising results. We studied whether higher thermal dose improves clinical NMIBC outcome. The cohort comprised 108 patients who started with RF-CHT between November 2013 and December 2019. Patients received intravesical mitomycin-C or epirubicin. Bladder hyperthermia was accomplished with an intravesical 915 MHz RF device guided by intravesical thermometry. We assessed the association between thermal dose parameters (including median temperature and Cumulative Equivalent Minutes of T50 at 43 °C [CEM43T50]) and complete response (CR) at six months for patients with (concomitant) carcinoma in situ (CIS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) for patients with papillary disease. Median temperature and CEM43T50 per treatment were 40.9 (IQR 40.8–41.1) °C and 3.1 (IQR 0.9–2.4) minutes, respectively. Analyses showed no association between any thermal dose parameter and CR or RFS (p > 0.05). Less bladder spasms during treatment sessions was associated with increased median temperature and CEM43T50 (adjusted OR 0.01 and 0.34, both p < 0.001). No significant association between thermal dose and NMIBC outcome was found. Possibly thermal dose effect in patients of the current cohort exceeds a certain threshold value. On the other hand, occurrence of bladder spasms had a thermal dose limiting effect. We advise to treat patients with temperatures >40.5 °C for at least 45 min while respecting individual tolerability, including occurrence of bladder spasms.

description: It is important to understand students' attitudes toward statistics, their mathematical background, perceptions of the difficulty of the subject, and their evaluation of the value of statistics, because these factors may influence students' performance in statistics courses. The database, The SATS Project, includes students' responses to the Survey of Attitudes Towards Statistics (SATS), students' grades, course information, and instructor characteristics from a national sample of statistics courses collected from 2007 – 2010. In this study, a total of 3,730 university students completed pre- and post-SATS, which gave their expected grades in the course and their attitudes towards various aspects of statistics. Grade expectations vary according to gender. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is used to discover underlying relationships between Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) questions and fit the model to know how these underlying factors are related to students’ grades. Tree-based models (XGBoost, random forests, decision trees) and linear regression perform differently in predicting student grades. We will also see how students' performance differs depending on the teaching models or instructor's teaching methods.

description: We study the topological classification of parafermionic chains in the presence of a modified time reversal symmetry that satisfies ${\cal T}^2=1 $. Such chains can be realized in one dimensional structures embedded in fractionalized two dimensional states of matter, e.g. at the edges of a fractional quantum spin Hall system, where counter propagating modes may be gapped either by back-scattering or by coupling to a superconductor. In the absence of any additional symmetries, a chain of $\mathbb{Z}_m$ parafermions can belong to one of several distinct phases. We find that when the modified time reversal symmetry is imposed, the classification becomes richer. If $m $ is odd, each of the phases splits into two subclasses. We identify the symmetry protected phase as a Haldane phase that carries a Kramers doublet at each end. When $m $ is even, each phase splits into four subclasses. The origin of this split is in the emergent Majorana fermions associated with even values of $m$. We demonstrate the appearance of such emergent Majorana zero modes in a system where the constituents particles are either fermions or bosons.

description: To investigate the clinical efficacy of thermal ablation in the treatment of pulmonary carcinoid (PC) tumor. Data of patients with inoperable PC diagnosed from 2000 to 2019 were obtained from the SEER database and analyzed according to different therapeutic modality: thermal ablation vs non-ablation. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce intergroup differences. Kaplan–Meier curves and the log-rank test were used to compare intergroup differences of overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS). Cox proportional risk models were used to reveal prognostic factors. After PSM, the thermal ablation group had better OS (p < .001) and LCSS (p < .001) than the non-ablation group. Subgroup analysis stratified by age, sex, histologic type and lymph node status subgroups showed similar survival profile. In the subgroup analysis stratified by tumor size, the thermal ablation group showed better OS and LCSS than those of the non-ablation group for tumors ≤3.0 cm, not statistically significant for tumors >3.0 cm. Subgroup analysis by M stage showed that thermal ablation was superior to non-ablation in OS and LCSS for patients with M0 stage, but no significant difference was found in subgroups with distant metastatic disease. Multivariate analysis showed that thermal ablation was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.25–0.46, p < .001) and LCSS (HR: 0.23, 95%CI: 0.12–0.43, p < .001). For patients with inoperable PC, thermal ablation might be a potential treatment option, especially in M0-stage with tumor size ≤3 cm.

description: STRESS-Mums project is a two-year Institutional Ethnography (Smith, 2005, 2006) in four European countries on the legal transition (separation/divorce) from double to single parenthood. The research study investigates how judicial institutions and legal professionals shape this phase of transition. The fieldwork involves lone mothers, legal professionals (attorneys), gender activists, and other professionals. Through discursive interviews and interviews to the double, the study investigates how mothers and professionals “read” and interpret the legal texts translating them in a language that fits the everyday experience of the lone mothers. Institutional Ethnography (IE) is a feminist research approach. IE allows investigating how texts’ interpretations, the translations of these texts done by people to other people, and institutional discourses (Manicom and Campbell 1995) socially organize the knowledge. In other words, IE allows understanding how texts shape the everyday life of people. The methodological approach focuses on three aspects: the text, the process, the discourse (Murray 2020). In STRESS-Mums, the texts are the law on children custody and other laws and codes that organize the civil trial; the process concerns the active translation of the law by professionals (“specialized readers”) and by the mothers (“non-specialized readers”); the discourse is the textually mediated discourse that circulates among institutions, professionals, and mothers. The disjunctures between texts, process, and discourse and the concrete needs of the mothers are highlighted. This poster illustrates how IE collects data and identifies disjunctures, and how the research project works in explaining these disjunctures to participants, policymakers, and stakeholders to improve policies and practices. Using the STRESS-Mums project as an example, the poster shows how the IE approach can be applied to other areas of research that need to detect gaps between the people’s everyday experience and institutions’ ruling functions by texts (e.g., law, regulations, and guidelines). This poster was presented at the 2021 Marie Curie Alumni Association Conference.

description: In presence of respiratory motion, temperature mapping is altered by in-plane and through-plane displacements between successive acquisitions together with periodic phase variations. Fast 2D Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) sequence can accommodate intra-scan motion, but limited volume coverage and inter-scan motion remain a challenge during free-breathing acquisition since position offsets can arise between the different slices. To address this limitation, we evaluated a 2D simultaneous multi-slice EPI sequence with multiband (MB) acceleration during radiofrequency ablation on a mobile gel and in the liver of a volunteer (no heating). The sequence was evaluated in terms of resulting inter-scan motion, temperature uncertainty and elevation, potential false-positive heating and repeatability. Lastly, to account for potential through-plane motion, a 3D motion compensation pipeline was implemented and evaluated. In-plane motion was compensated whatever the MB factor and temperature distribution was found in agreement during both the heating and cooling periods. No obvious false-positive temperature was observed under the conditions being investigated. Repeatability of measurements results in a 95% uncertainty below 2 °C for MB1 and MB2. Uncertainty up to 4.5 °C was reported with MB3 together with the presence of aliasing artifacts. Lastly, fast simultaneous multi-slice EPI combined with 3D motion compensation reduce residual out-of-plane motion. Volumetric temperature imaging (12 slices/700 ms) could be performed with 2 °C accuracy or less, and offer tradeoffs in acquisition time or volume coverage. Such a strategy is expected to increase procedure safety by monitoring large volumes more rapidly for MR-guided thermotherapy on mobile organs.

description: The WASP-18 system, with its massive and extremely close-in planet, WASP-18b (M$_{p}$ = 10.3M$_{J}$, a = 0.02 AU, P = 22.6 hours), is one of the best known exoplanet laboratories to directly measure Q', the modified tidal quality factor and proxy for efficiency of tidal dissipation, of the host star. Previous analysis predicted a rapid orbital decay of the planet toward its host star that should be measurable on the time scale of a few years, if the star is as dissipative as is inferred from the circularization of close-in solar-type binary stars. We have compiled published transit and secondary eclipse timing (as observed by WASP, TRAPPIST, and Spitzer) with more recent unpublished light curves (as observed by TRAPPIST and HST) with coverage spanning nine years. We find no signature of a rapid decay. We conclude that the absence of rapid orbital decay most likely derives from Q' being larger than was inferred from solar-type stars, and find that Q' $\geq $1$\times10^{6}$, at 95\,\% confidence; this supports previous work suggesting that F-stars, with their convective cores and thin convective envelopes, are significantly less tidally dissipative than solar-type stars, with radiative cores and large convective envelopes.

description: In all-oxide ferroelectric (FE) - superconductor (S) bilayers, due to the low carrier concentration of oxides compared to transition metals, the FE interfacial polarization charges induce an accumulation (or depletion) of charge carriers in the S. This leads either to an enhancement or a depression of its critical temperature depending on FE polarization direction.Here we exploit this effect at a local scale to define planar weak-links in high-temperature superconducting wires. This is realized in BiFeO3(FE)/YBa2Cu3O7(S)bilayers in which the remnant FE domain structure is written at will by locally applying voltage pulses with a conductive-tip atomic force microscope. In this fashion, the FE domain pattern defines a spatial modulation of superconductivity. This allows us to write a device whose electrical transport shows different temperature regimes and magnetic field matching effects that are characteristic of Josephson coupled weak-links. This illustrates the potential of the ferroelectric approach for the realization of high-temperature superconducting devices.

description: To predict the risk of postoperative reintervention for uterine fibroids using clinical-imaging features and T2WI radiomics before high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. Among patients with uterine fibroids treated with HIFU from 2019 to 2021, 180 were selected per the inclusion and exclusion criteria (42 reintervention and 138 non-reintervention). All patients were randomly assigned to either the training (n = 125) or validation (n = 55) cohorts. Multivariate analysis was used to determine independent clinical-imaging features of reintervention risk. The Relief and LASSO algorithm were used to select optimal radiomics features. Random forest was used to construct the clinical-imaging model based on independent clinical-imaging features, the radiomics model based on optimal radiomics features, and the combined model incorporating the above features. An independent test cohort of 45 patients with uterine fibroids tested these models. The integrated discrimination index (IDI) was used to compare the discrimination performance of these models. Age (p < .001), fibroid volume (p = .001) and fibroid enhancement degree (p = .001) were identified as independent clinical-imaging features. The combined model had AUCs of 0.821 (95% CI: 0.712–0.931) and 0.818 (95% CI: 0.694–0.943) in the validation and independent test cohorts, respectively. The predictive performance of the combined model was 27.8% (independent test cohort, p < .001) and 29.5% (independent test cohort, p = .001) better than the clinical-imaging and radiomics models, respectively. The combined model can effectively predict the risk of postoperative reintervention for uterine fibroids before HIFU ablation. It is expected to help clinicians to develop accurate, personalized treatment and management plans. Future studies will need to be prospectively validated.

description: This article is a short review of the recent results on properties of nonlinear fractional maps which are maps with power- or asymptotically power-law memory. These maps demonstrate the new type of attractors - cascade of bifurcations type trajectories, power-law convergence/divergence of trajectories, period doubling bifurcations with changes in the memory parameter, intersection of trajectories, and overlapping of attractors. In the limit of small time steps these maps converge to nonlinear fractional differential equations.

description: In the course of evolution, proteins undergo important changes in their amino acid sequences, while their three-dimensional folded structure and their biological function remain remarkably conserved. Thanks to modern sequencing techniques, sequence data accumulate at unprecedented pace. This provides large sets of so-called homologous, i.e.~evolutionarily related protein sequences, to which methods of inverse statistical physics can be applied. Using sequence data as the basis for the inference of Boltzmann distributions from samples of microscopic configurations or observables, it is possible to extract information about evolutionary constraints and thus protein function and structure. Here we give an overview over some biologically important questions, and how statistical-mechanics inspired modeling approaches can help to answer them. Finally, we discuss some open questions, which we expect to be addressed over the next years.

description: To determine the value of dual-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics in predicting the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for hysteromyoma. A total of 142 patients with 172 hysteromyomas (95 hysteromyomas from the sufficient ablation group, and 77 hysteromyomas from the insufficient ablation group) were enrolled in the study. The clinical–radiological model was constructed with independent clinical–radiological risk factors, the radiomics model was constructed based on the optimal radiomics features of hysteromyoma from dual sequences, and the two groups of features were incorporated to construct the combined model. A fivefold cross validation procedure was adopted to validate these models. A nomogram was constructed, applying the combined model in the training cohort. The models were assessed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). An independent test cohort comprising 40 patients was used to evaluate the performance of the optimal model. Among the three models, the average areas under the ROC curves (AUC) of the radiomics model and combined model were 0.803 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.726–0.881) and 0.841 (95% CI: 0.772–0.909), which were better than the clinical–radiological model in the training cohort. The IDI showed that the combined model had the best prediction accuracy. The combined model also showed good discrimination in both the validation cohort (AUC = 0.834) and the independent test cohort (AUC = 0.801). The combined model based on the dual-sequence MRI radiomics is the most promising tool from our study to assist clinicians in predicting HIFU ablation efficacy.

description: Chronic bone infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in children and adults is characterized by reduced antibiotic sensitivity. In this study, we assessed ‘heat-targeted, on-demand’ antibiotic delivery for S. aureus killing by combining ciprofloxacin (CIP)-laden low-temperature sensitive liposomes (LTSLs) with local high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) induced bone heating in a rat model of bone infection. CIP-LTSLs were prepared using the thin-film hydration and extrusion method. Bone infection was established by surgically implanting an orthopedic K-wire colonized with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain into rat’s femurs. For bone heating, ultrasound-guided HIFU exposures were performed to achieve a local temperature of 40–42 °C (∼15 min) concurrently with intravenous injection of CIP-LTSLs or CIP. CIP biodistribution was determined spectrophotometrically and therapeutic efficacy was determined by bacteriological, histological and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. CIP-LTSLs in the range of 183.5 nm ± 1.91 showed an encapsulation efficiency of >70% at 37 °C and a complete release at ∼42 °C. The metal implantation method yielded medullary osteomyelitis characterized by suppurative changes (bacterial and pus pockets) by day 10 in bones and adjoining muscle tissues. HIFU heating significantly improved CIP delivery from LTSLs in bones, resulting in a significant reduction in MRSA load compared to HIFU and CIP alone groups. These were also verified by histology and SEM, wherein a distinct reduction in S. aureus population in the infected metal wires and tissues from the combinatorial therapy was noted. HIFU improved CIP delivery to bones, achieving clearance of hard-to-treat MRSA biofilms.

description: By applying a display ecology to the {\em Deeper, Wider, Faster} proactive, simultaneous telescope observing campaign, we have shown a dramatic reduction in the time taken to inspect DECam CCD images for potential transient candidates and to produce time-critical triggers to standby telescopes. We also show how facilitating rapid corroboration of potential candidates and the exclusion of non-candidates improves the accuracy of detection; and establish that a practical and enjoyable workspace can improve the experience of an otherwise taxing task for astronomers. We provide a critical road-test of two advanced displays in a research context -- a rare opportunity to demonstrate how they can be used rather than simply discuss how they might be used to accelerate discovery.

description: To analyze the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA) and laser ablation (LA) in T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients by evaluating data on several outcomes on a large scale. Literature searches were conducted in PUBMED, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library for studies of thermal ablation (TA) for treating T1N0M0 PTC. Data on the volume reduction rate (VRR) at the 12-month follow-up and final follow-up, complete disappearance rate, local recurrence rate, lymph node metastasis rate, and complication rate of RFA, MWA and LA were evaluated separately. RFA effects were compared between T1aN0M0 and T1bN0M0 patients. A total of 36 eligible studies were included. RFA presented superior efficacy than MWA in 12-month VRR. At the final follow-up, the difference was slight in subgroups, showing a significant reduction. The complete disappearance rate of LA (93.00%) was higher than that of RFA (81.00%) and MWA (71.00%). Additionally, the local recurrence rate pooled proportions of MWA and RFA were both 2.00%, lower than that of the LA group (3.00%). There was no event of distant metastasis. The lymph node metastasis rates were similar, as RFA (1.00%) had the lowest. For minor complication rates, the pooled proportions of RFA (3.00%) were smaller than those of LA (6.00%) and MWA (13.00%). T1aN0M0 lesions presented with better outcomes than T1bN0M0 lesions. RFA, MWA and LA were reliable in curing PTC, and RFA presented advantages in most outcomes. T1aN0M0 patients may experience fewer side effects than T1bN0M0 patients.

description: Biological mixtures such as the cytosol may consist of thousands of distinct components. There is now a substantial body of evidence showing that, under physiological conditions, intracellular mixtures can phase separate into spatially distinct regions with differing compositions. In this paper we present numerical evidence indicating that such spontaneous compartmentalization exploits general features of the phase diagram of a multicomponent biomolecular mixture. In particular, we show that demixed domains are likely to segregate when the variance in the inter-molecular interaction strengths exceeds a well-defined threshold. Multiple distinct phases are likely to become stable under very similar conditions, which can then be tuned to achieve multiphase coexistence. As a result, only minor adjustments to the composition of the cytosol or the strengths of the inter-molecular interactions are needed to regulate the formation of different domains with specific compositions, implying that phase separation is a robust mechanism for creating spatial organization. We further predict that this functionality is only weakly affected by increasing the number of components in the system. Our model therefore suggests that, for purely physico-chemical reasons, biological mixtures are naturally poised to undergo a small number of demixing phase transitions.
Outage Analysis for SWIPT-Enabled Two-Way Cognitive Cooperative Communications

description: In this paper, we study a cooperative cognitive radio network (CCRN) where the secondary user-transmitter (SU-Tx) assists bi-directional communication between a pair of primary users (PUs) following the principle of two-way relaying. In return, it gets access to the spectrum of the PUs to enable its own transmission to SU-receiver (SU-Rx). Further, in order to support sustainable operation of the network, SU-Tx is assumed to harvest energy from the RF signals received from the PUs, using the technique of simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). Assuming a decode-and-forward behaviour and power-splitting based relaying protocol at SU-Tx, closed form expressions for outage probability of PU and SU are obtained. Simulation results validate our analytical results and illustrate spectrum-efficiency and energy-efficiency advantages of the proposed system over one-way relaying.
