description: Recent work on fairness in machine learning has focused on various statistical discrimination criteria and how they trade off. Most of these criteria are observational: They depend only on the joint distribution of predictor, protected attribute, features, and outcome. While convenient to work with, observational criteria have severe inherent limitations that prevent them from resolving matters of fairness conclusively. Going beyond observational criteria, we frame the problem of discrimination based on protected attributes in the language of causal reasoning. This viewpoint shifts attention from "What is the right fairness criterion?" to "What do we want to assume about the causal data generating process?" Through the lens of causality, we make several contributions. First, we crisply articulate why and when observational criteria fail, thus formalizing what was before a matter of opinion. Second, our approach exposes previously ignored subtleties and why they are fundamental to the problem. Finally, we put forward natural causal non-discrimination criteria and develop algorithms that satisfy them.

description: We describe electron spin resonance in a quantum spin liquid with significant spin-orbit coupling. We find that the resonance directly probes spinon continuum which makes it an efficient and informative probe of exotic excitations of the spin liquid. Specifically, we consider spinon resonance of three different spinon mean-field Hamiltonians, obtained with the help of projective symmetry group analysis, which model a putative quantum spin liquid state of the triangular rare-earth antiferromagnet YbMgGaO4. The band of absorption is found to be very broad and exhibit strong van Hove singularities of single spinon spectrum as well as pronounced polarization dependence.

description: Quantum no-Hiding theorem, first proposed by Braunstein and Pati [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 080502 (2007)], was verified experimentally by Samal et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 186, 080401 (2011)] using NMR quantum processor. Till then, this fundamental test has not been explored in any of the experimental architecture. Here, we demonstrate the above no-hiding theorem using the IBM 5Q quantum processor. Categorical algebra developed by Coecke and Duncan [New J. Phys. 13, 043016 (2011)] has been used for better visualization of the no-hiding theorem by analyzing the quantum circuit using the ZX calculus. The experimental results confirm the recovery of missing information by the application of local unitary operations on the ancillary qubits.

Stop Co-Annihilation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model Revisited

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We re-examine the stop co-annihilation scenario of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, wherein a bino-like lightest supersymmetric particle has a thermal relic density set by co-annihilations with a scalar partner of the top quark in the early universe. We concentrate on the case where only the top partner sector is relevant for the cosmology, and other particles are heavy. We discuss the cosmology with focus on low energy parameters and an emphasis on the implications of the measured Higgs boson mass and its properties. We find that the irreducible direct detection signal correlated with this cosmology is generically well below projected experimental sensitivity, and in most cases lies below the neutrino background. A larger, detectable, direct detection rate is possible, but is unrelated to the co-annihilation cosmology. LHC searches for compressed spectra are crucial for probing this scenario.

A Graphical Characterization of Structurally Controllable Linear Systems with Dependent Parameters

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)

description: One version of the concept of structural controllability defined for single-input systems by Lin and subsequently generalized to multi-input systems by others, states that a parameterized matrix pair $(A, B)$ whose nonzero entries are distinct parameters, is structurally controllable if values can be assigned to the parameters which cause the resulting matrix pair to be controllable. In this paper the concept of structural controllability is broadened to allow for the possibility that a parameter may appear in more than one location in the pair $(A, B)$. Subject to a certain condition on the parameterization called the "binary assumption", an explicit graph-theoretic characterization of such matrix pairs is derived.

description: To minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission, an ambulant screening protocol for COVID-19 in patients before admission to the hospital was implemented, combining the SARS CoV-2 reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal swab, a chest computed tomography (CT) and assessment of clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluatethe diagnostic yield and the proportionality of this pre-procedural screeningprotocol. In this mono-centre, prospective, cross-sectional study, all patients admitted to the hospital between 22nd April 2020 until 14th May 2020 for semi-urgent surgery, haematological or oncological treatment, or electrophysiological investigationunderwent a COVID-19 screening 2 days before their procedure. At a 2-week follow-up, the presence of clinical symptoms was evaluated by telephone as a post-hoc evaluation of the screening approach.Combined positive RT-PCR assay and/or positive chest CT was used as gold standard. Post-procedural outcomes of all patients diagnosed positive for COVID-19 were assessed. In total,528 patients were included of which 20 (3.8%) were diagnosed as COVID-19 positive and 508 (96.2%) as COVID-19 negative. 11 (55.0%) of COVID-19 positive patients had only a positive RT-PCR assay, 3 (15.0%) had only a positive chest CT and 6 (30%) had both a positive RT-PCR assay and chest CT. 10 out of 20 (50.0%) COVID-19 positive patients reported no single clinical symptom at the screening. At 2 week follow-up, 50% of these patients were still asymptomatic. 37.5% of all COVID-19 negative patients were symptomatic at screening. In the COVID-19 negative group without symptoms at screening, 78 (29.3%) patients developed clinical symptoms at a 2-week follow-up. This study suggests that routine chest CT and assessment of self-reported symptoms have limited value in the preprocedural COVID-19 screening due to low sensitivity and/or specificity.

description: Motivated by the measurements of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, including $R(K)$ and $R(K^*)$, we examine lepton flavour (universality) violation in $B$ decays and its connections to $μ\to eγ$ in generic leptoquark models. Considering all 10 representations of scalar and vector leptoquarks under the Standard Model gauge group we compute the tree-level matching for semileptonic $b$-quark operators as well as their loop effects in $\ell\to\ell^\primeγ$. In our phenomenological analysis we correlate $R(K)$, $R(K^*)$ and the other $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ data to $μ\to eγ$ and $b\to sμe$ transitions for the three leptoquark representations that generate left-handed currents in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions and, therefore, provide a good fit to data. We find that while new physics contributions to muons are required by the global fit, also couplings to electrons can be sizeable without violating the stringent bounds from $μ\to eγ$. In fact, if the effect in electrons in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ has opposite sign than the effect in muons the bound from $μ\to eγ$ can always be avoided. However, unavoidable effects in $b\to sμe$ transitions (i.e. $B_s\toμe$, $B\to Kμe$, etc.) appear which are within the reach of LHCb and BELLE II.

description: Objectives: Hypertension is thought to be a contributor to mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 patients; however, limited clinical data on the outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with hypertension are available. Methods: This study was designed to confirm whether hypertension affects the outcomes of COVID-19. Results: A total of 983 patients with COVID-19 (female, 48%; male, 52%) were enrolled. Significantly higher odds of 60-day mortality (p = .017) were observed in the hypertensive group. In the hypertensive group, even after adjustment in multivariate analysis, the subgroup of patients 70 years old and older had higher 28-day mortality and total 60-day mortality rates than the other age subgroups (bothp < .05). A total of 297 (89%) COVID-19 patients with hypertension survived, and 35 (11%) died. In addition, compared with hypertensive patients who survived COVID-19, non-survivors had more pre-existing conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and stroke, higher blood pressure on admission, more severe inflammation, and more liver and kidney damage. Conclusion: Hypertension does not affect the outcome of COVID-19, which is different than the conclusions drawn in other studies. However, the 28-day mortality and total 60-day mortality rates of hypertensive patients (age ≥ 70) with COVID-19 were significantly elevated, and compared with the group of survivors, non-surviving COVID-19 patients with hypertension were older, had more basic diseases and had a more severe clinical condition.

description: We present a new approach to automate the spectroscopic redshift reliability assessment based on machine learning (ML) and characteristics of the redshift probability density function (PDF). We propose to rephrase the spectroscopic redshift estimation into a Bayesian framework, in order to incorporate all sources of information and uncertainties related to the redshift estimation process, and produce a redshift posterior PDF that will be the starting-point for ML algorithms to provide an automated assessment of a redshift reliability. As a use case, public data from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey is exploited to present and test this new methodology. We first tried to reproduce the existing reliability flags using supervised classification to describe different types of redshift PDFs, but due to the subjective definition of these flags, soon opted for a new homogeneous partitioning of the data into distinct clusters via unsupervised classification. After assessing the accuracy of the new clusters via resubstitution and test predictions, unlabelled data from preliminary mock simulations for the Euclid space mission are projected into this mapping to predict their redshift reliability labels.

description: In the present work, we address the question of how bipartite steering violation takes place among multi-partite systems (where each sub-system have Hilbert space dimension restricted to two) based on the maximal violations of the bipartite steering inequality of the reduced pairwise qubit systems. We have derived a trade-off relation which is satisfied by those pairwise bipartite maximal steering violations, which physically can be understood as providing restrictions on the distribution of steering among subsystems. For a three-qubit system, it is impossible that all pairs of qubits violate the steering inequality, and once a pair of qubits violates the steering inequality maximally, the other two pairs of qubits must both obey the steering inequality. We also present a complementarity relation between genuine entanglement present in a tripartite state and maximum bipartite steering violation by its reduced states.

Heavy stable charged tracks as signatures of non-thermal dark matter at the LHC : a study in some non-supersymmetric scenarios

description: We consider two theoretical scenarios, each including a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-odd sector and leading to an elementary dark matter candidate. The first one is a variant of the Type-III seesaw model where one lepton triplet is $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-odd, together with a heavy sterile neutrino. It leads to a fermionic dark matter, together with the charged component of the triplet being a quasi-stable particle which decays only via a higher-dimensional operator suppressed by a high scale. The second model consists of an inert scalar doublet together with a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-odd right-handed Majorana neutrino dark matter. A tiny Yukawa coupling delays the decay of the charged component of the inert doublet into the dark matter candidate, making the former long-lived on the scale of collider detectors. The parameter space of each model has been constrained by big-bang nucleosynthesis constraints, and also by estimating the contribution to the relic density through freeze-out of the long-lived charged particle as well the freeze-in production of the dark matter candidate. We consider two kinds of signals at the Large Hadron Collider for the first kind of models, namely two charged tracks and single track + MET. For the second kind, the characteristic signals are opposite as well as same-sign charged track pairs. We perform a detailed analysis using event selection criteria consistent with the current experimental programmes. It is found that the scenario with a lepton triplet can be probed upto 960(1190) GeV with an integrated luminosity of 300(3000) $fb^{-1}$, while the corresponding numbers for the inert doublet scenario are 630(800) GeV. Furthermore, the second kind of signal mentioned in each case allows us to differentiate different dark matter scenarios from each other.

description: An all-optical scheme is proposed for studying a laser-plasma based incoherent photon emission from inverse Compton scattering in quantum electrodynamic (QED) regime. A theoretical model is presented to explain the coupling effect among radiation reaction trapping, self-generated magnetic field and spiral attractor in phase space, which guarantees the energy and angular momentum (AM) transformation from electromagnetic fields to particles. Taking advantage of a prospective $\sim$10$^{23}$W/cm$^{2}$ laser facility, 3D Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations manifest the present gamma-ray flash with an unprecedented power of multi-petawatt (PW) and brightness of 1.7$\times$10$^{23}$photons/s/mm$^2$/mrad$^2$/0.1$\%$bandwidth (at 1GeV). These results bode well for new research direction in particle physics and laboratory astrophysics while exploring laser plasma interaction.

description: With an eye toward the precision physics of the LHC, such as the recent measurement of $M_W$ by the ATLAS Collaboration, we present here systematic studies relevant to the assessment of the expected size of multiple photon radiative effects in heavy gauge boson production with decay to charged lepton pairs. We use the new version 4.22 of ${\cal KK}$MC-hh so that we have CEEX EW exact ${\cal O}(α^2 L)$ corrections in a hadronic MC and control over the corresponding EW initial-final interference (IFI) effects as well. In this way, we illustrate the interplay between cuts of the type used in the measurement of $M_W$ at the LHC and the sizes of the expected responses of the attendant higher order corrections. We find that there are per cent to per mille level effects in the initial-state radiation, fractional per mille level effects in the IFI and per mille level effects in the over-all ${\cal O}(α^2 L)$ corrections that any treatment of EW corrections at the per mille level should consider. Our results have direct applicability to current LHC experimental data analyses.

description: To evaluate the actual perceptions of hormonal contraceptives (HC) in women of reproductive age in comparison with similar concerns of postmenopausal women in relation to hormone therapy (HT). A questionnaire-based study was conducted in a population of 370 women, 198 (53.5%) premenopausal and 172 (46.5%) postmenopausal. Perceptions were evaluated using specific questions and Likert scales (-5 to +5).Multivariate regression analyses were adjusted for categories of HC/HT use (never, past and current). The most reported adverse effect associated with hormonal treatments was venous thrombosis (1.4 ± 0.1), especially for HC use in premenopausal women (p < .0001). According to responses, hormonal treatments can increase the risk of developing venous thrombosis (OR 0.79; 95% CI 0.67–0.96, p = .004) and depression (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.69–0.92, p = .002) more in pre-menopause, while they can increase the risk of weight gain more in post-menopause (OR 1.24: 95% CI 1.07–1.42, p = .003).The greatest oncological concern throughout life was about breast cancer (0.9 ± 0.1). There was the perception that hormonal treatments can increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer more in post-menopause (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.19–1.75, p = .0002), while they can increase the risk of uterine cervix cancer more in pre-menopause (OR 0.74; 95% CI 0.52–0.97, p = .03). Our data suggest that our patients are primarily concerned about the effects of hormonal treatments on venous thrombosis, mood, breast cancer and cervical cancer risk, and, later in life, about their impact on weight gain, breast and ovarian cancer risk.KEY MESSAGESYoung patients are primarily concerned about the effects of hormonal treatments on venous thrombosis, mood, breast cancer and cervical cancer risk.Older patients are primarily concerned about the effects of hormonal treatments on weight gain, breast and ovarian cancer risk.The greatest oncological concern throughout life was about breast cancer.

description: We show that F-theory compactifications with abelian gauge factors generally exhibit a non-trivial global gauge group structure. The geometric origin of this structure lies with the Shioda map of the Mordell--Weil generators. This results in constraints on the U(1) charges of non-abelian matter consistent with observations made throughout the literature. In particular, we find that F-theory models featuring the Standard Model algebra actually realise the precise gauge group [SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)]/Z6. Furthermore, we explore the relationship between the gauge group structure and geometric (un-)higgsing. In an explicit class of models, we show that, depending on the global group structure, an SU(2)xU(1) gauge theory can either unhiggs into an SU(2)xSU(2) or an SU(3)xSU(2) theory. We also study implications of the charge constraints as a criterion for the F-theory 'swampland'.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We discover a population of short-period, Neptune-size planets sharing key similarities with hot Jupiters: both populations are preferentially hosted by metal-rich stars, and both are preferentially found in Kepler systems with single transiting planets. We use accurate LAMOST DR4 stellar parameters for main-sequence stars to study the distributions of short-period 1d < P < 10d Kepler planets as a function of host star metallicity. The radius distribution of planets around metal-rich stars is more "puffed up" as compared to that around metal-poor hosts. In two period-radius regimes, planets preferentially reside around metal-rich stars, while there are hardly any planets around metal-poor stars. One is the well-known hot Jupiters, and the other is a population of Neptune-size planets (2 R_Earth

description: Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a life-threatening condition that needs risk stratification to guide clinical treatment. Which risk system could reflect the prognosis more accurately remains controversial. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of the predictive value of GBS, AIMS65, Rockall (clinical Rockall score and full Rockall score), CTP and MELD. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, WANGFANG and CNKI were searched. Twenty-eight articles were included in the study. The Meta-DiSc software and MedCalc software were used to pool the predictive accuracy. Concerning in-hospital mortality, CTP, AIMS65, MELD, Full-Rockall and GBS had a pooled AUC of 0.824, 0.793, 0.788, 0.75 and 0.683, respectively. CTP had the highest sensitivity of 0.910 (95% CI: 0.864–0.944) with a specificity of 0.666 (95% CI: 0.635–0.696). AIMS65 had the highest specificity of 0.774 (95% CI: 0.749–0.798) with a sensitivity of 0.679 (95% CI: 0.617–0.736). For follow-up mortality, MELD, AIMS65, CTP, Clinical Rockall, Full-Rockall and GBS showed a pooled AUC of 0.798, 0.77, 0.746, 0.704, 0.678 and 0.618, respectively. CTP had the highest specificity (0.806, 95% CI: 0.763–0.843) with a sensitivity of 0.722 (95% CI: 0.628–0.804). GBS had the highest sensitivity 0.800 (95% CI: 0.696–0.881) with a specificity of 0.412 (95% CI: 0.368–0.457). As for rebleeding, no score performed particularly well. No risk scores were ideally identified by our systematic review. CTP was superior to other risk scores in identifying AVB patients at high risk of death in hospital and patients at low risk within follow-up. Guidelines have recommended the use of GBS to risk stratification of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. However, if the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is suspected oesophageal and gastric varices, extra care should be taken. Because in this meta-analysis, the ability of GBS was limited.Key messageCTP was superior in identifying AVB patients at high risk of death in hospital and low risk within follow-up.GBS, though recommended by the Guidelines, should be cautiously used when assessing AVB patients.

description: We consider a system of $N$ servers inter-connected by some underlying graph topology $G_N$. Tasks arrive at the various servers as independent Poisson processes of rate $λ$. Each incoming task is irrevocably assigned to whichever server has the smallest number of tasks among the one where it appears and its neighbors in $G_N$. Tasks have unit-mean exponential service times and leave the system upon service completion. The above model has been extensively investigated in the case $G_N$ is a clique. Since the servers are exchangeable in that case, the queue length process is quite tractable, and it has been proved that for any $λ< 1$, the fraction of servers with two or more tasks vanishes in the limit as $N \to \infty$. For an arbitrary graph $G_N$, the lack of exchangeability severely complicates the analysis, and the queue length process tends to be worse than for a clique. Accordingly, a graph $G_N$ is said to be $N$-optimal or $\sqrt{N}$-optimal when the occupancy process on $G_N$ is equivalent to that on a clique on an $N$-scale or $\sqrt{N}$-scale, respectively. We prove that if $G_N$ is an Erdős-Rényi random graph with average degree $d(N)$, then it is with high probability $N$-optimal and $\sqrt{N}$-optimal if $d(N) \to \infty$ and $d(N) / (\sqrt{N} \log(N)) \to \infty$ as $N \to \infty$, respectively. This demonstrates that optimality can be maintained at $N$-scale and $\sqrt{N}$-scale while reducing the number of connections by nearly a factor $N$ and $\sqrt{N} / \log(N)$ compared to a clique, provided the topology is suitably random. It is further shown that if $G_N$ contains $Θ(N)$ bounded-degree nodes, then it cannot be $N$-optimal. In addition, we establish that an arbitrary graph $G_N$ is $N$-optimal when its minimum degree is $N - o(N)$, and may not be $N$-optimal even when its minimum degree is $c N + o(N)$ for any $0 < c < 1/2$.

Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Aqueous Solution by Alkaline Filtration

Subjects: Membrane filtration

description: An innovative approach for the removal of heavy metal ions such as Pb2+ and Cd2+ from aqueous solution was evaluated. It was established that alkaline filtration, which is in essence the combination of alkaline precipitation and membrane filtration, could drastically increase both the efficiency and completeness of Pb2+ or Cd2+ ions removal, producing water whose metal concentration satisfying drinking water standard from a simulation wastewater containing 5 ppm or more Pb2+ or Cd2+ ions. Filtration with three different membranes, including microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), and nanofiltration (NF) membranes, were studied at three different pH levels, i.e., 7.0, 8.5, and 10, in terms of metal ion rejection, flux, and permeate pH and at varied dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration. Increasing the pH of the feed in the tested range would lead to the decrease of metal ion concentration in permeate while flux was in general unaffected. When the feed pH was 10, the Pb2+ concentration in permeate was below 10 ppb regardless of the DIC concentration and membrane for filtration. The effects of DIC concentration were significant but complex. It was found that MF, UF, NF could all effectively reject Pb2+ ions at pH 8.5 and pH 10 although only NF was charged. A hypothesis was proposed to explain the mechanism of alkaline filtration based on experimental data.

description: We study infinite-horizon asymptotic average optimality for parallel server network with multiple classes of jobs and multiple server pools in the Halfin-Whitt regime. Three control formulations are considered: 1) minimizing the queueing and idleness cost, 2) minimizing the queueing cost under a constraints on idleness at each server pool, and 3) fairly allocating the idle servers among different server pools. For the third problem, we consider a class of bounded-queue, bounded-state (BQBS) stable networks, in which any moment of the state is bounded by that of the queue only (for both the limiting diffusion and diffusion-scaled state processes). We show that the optimal values for the diffusion-scaled state processes converge to the corresponding values of the ergodic control problems for the limiting diffusion. We present a family of state-dependent Markov balanced saturation policies (BSPs) that stabilize the controlled diffusion-scaled state processes. It is shown that under these policies, the diffusion-scaled state process is exponentially ergodic, provided that at least one class of jobs has a positive abandonment rate. We also establish useful moment bounds, and study the ergodic properties of the diffusion-scaled state processes, which play a crucial role in proving the asymptotic optimality.
