description: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia in adults and is primarily diagnosed in older patients. The combination of the BCL2 inhibitor, venetoclax, with a hypomethylating agent has recently become standard of care front-line therapy for patients who are unfit for high intensity induction chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, for patients who experience disease refractoriness/relapse, second line treatment options are limited. Natural killer (NK) cells have been shown to have potent anti-tumor effects in AML may represent a potential therapeutic option for patients with progression after venetoclax-based therapy.

Search for exotic leptons in final states with two or three leptons and fat-jets at 13 TeV LHC

description: Exotic leptons in large gauge multiplets, appearing in many scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM), can be produced at the LHC in pairs or association. Owing to their large masses, their eventual decay products -- SM leptons and bosons -- tend to be highly boosted, with the jets stemming from the SM bosons more likely to manifest themselves as a single fat-jet rather than two resolved ones. With the corresponding SM backgrounds being suppressed, final states with two or three leptons and one or two fat-jets are expected to be sensitive in probing exotic fermions much heavier than 1 TeV, and we propose and investigate an appropriate search strategy. To concentrate on the essential, we consider extensions of the SM by leptonic multiplets of a single kind (triplets, quadruplets or quintuplets), bearing in mind that such simplified models typically arise as low-energy limits of more ambitious scenarios addressing various lacunae of the SM. Performing a systematic and comprehensive study of nine such scenarios at the 13 TeV LHC, we find that the corresponding $5σ$ discovery reaches a range from 985 GeV to 1650 GeV (1345 GeV to 2020 GeV) for 300 (3000) fb$^{-1}$.

description: Existing and planned legislation stipulates various obligations to provide information about machine learning algorithms and their functioning, often interpreted as obligations to "explain". Many researchers suggest using post-hoc explanation algorithms for this purpose. In this paper, we combine legal, philosophical and technical arguments to show that post-hoc explanation algorithms are unsuitable to achieve the law's objectives. Indeed, most situations where explanations are requested are adversarial, meaning that the explanation provider and receiver have opposing interests and incentives, so that the provider might manipulate the explanation for her own ends. We show that this fundamental conflict cannot be resolved because of the high degree of ambiguity of post-hoc explanations in realistic application scenarios. As a consequence, post-hoc explanation algorithms are unsuitable to achieve the transparency objectives inherent to the legal norms. Instead, there is a need to more explicitly discuss the objectives underlying "explainability" obligations as these can often be better achieved through other mechanisms. There is an urgent need for a more open and honest discussion regarding the potential and limitations of post-hoc explanations in adversarial contexts, in particular in light of the current negotiations of the European Union's draft Artificial Intelligence Act.

description: Contemporary concerns over the governance of technological systems often run up against narratives about the technical infeasibility of designing mechanisms for accountability. While in recent AI ethics literature these concerns have been deliberated predominantly in relation to ML, other instances in computing history also presented circumstances in which computer scientists needed to un-muddle what it means to design accountable systems. One such compelling narrative can be found in canonical histories of the Internet that highlight how its original designers' commitment to the "End-to-End" architectural principle precluded other features from being implemented, resulting in the fast-growing, generative, but ultimately unaccountable network we have today. This paper offers a critique of such technologically essentialist notions of accountability and the characterization of the "unaccountable Internet" as an unintended consequence. It explores the changing meaning of accounting and its relationship to accountability in a selected corpus of requests for comments (RFCs) concerning the early Internet's design from the 1970s and 80s. We characterize four ways of conceptualizing accounting: as billing, as measurement, as management, and as policy, and demonstrate how an understanding of accountability was constituted through these shifting meanings. We link together the administrative and technical mechanisms of accounting for shared resources in a distributed system and an emerging notion of accountability as a social, political, and technical category, arguing that the former is constitutive of the latter. Recovering this history is not only important for understanding the processes that shaped the Internet, but also serves as a starting point for unpacking the complicated political choices that are involved in designing accountability mechanisms for other technological systems today.

description: A convenient integral representation for zig-zag four-point and two-point planar Feynman diagrams relevant to the bi-scalar D-dimensional fishnet field theory is obtained. This representation gives a possibility to evaluate exactly diagrams of the zig-zag series in special cases. In particular, we give a fairly simple proof of the Broadhurst-Kreimer conjecture about the values of zig-zag multi-loop two-point diagrams which make a significant contribution to the renormalization group beta-function in 4-dimensional phi^4 theory.

description: Although the Hamiltonian formalism is so far favored for quantum computation of lattice gauge theory, the path integral formalism would never be useless. The advantages of the path integral formalism are the knowledge and experience accumulated by classical lattice simulation and manifest Lorentz invariance. We discuss quantum computation of lattice gauge theory in the path integral formalism. We utilize a quantum sampling algorithm to generate gauge configurations, and demonstrate a benchmark test of $Z_2$ lattice gauge theory on a four-dimensional hypercube.

description: We estimate the parameters of the donor of the accreting black-hole binary MAXI J1820+070. The measured values of the binary period, rotational and radial velocities and constraints on the orbital inclination imply the donor is a subgiant with the mass of $M_2\approx 0.49^{+0.10}_{-0.10}M_\odot$ and the radius of $R_2\approx 1.19^{+0.08}_{-0.08}R_\odot$. We re-analyze the previously obtained optical spectrum from the Gran Telescopio Canarias, and found it yields a strict lower limit on the effective temperature of $T>4200$ K. We compile optical and infrared fluxes observed during the quiescence of this system. From the minima $r$ and $i$-band fluxes found in Pan-STARSS1 Data Release 2 pre-discovery imaging and for a distance of $D\approx3$ kpc, reddening of $E(B$--$V)=0.23$ and $R_2\approx{1.11R_\odot}$, we find $T\lesssim4230$ K, very close to the above lower limit. For a larger distance, the temperature can be higher, up to about 4500 K (corresponding to a K5 spectral type, preferred by previous studies) at $D=3.5$ kpc, allowed by the Gaia parallax. We perform evolutionary calculations for the binary system and compare them to the observational constraints. Our model fitting the above temperature and radius constraints at $D\approx 3$ kpc has the mass of $0.4M_\odot$, $T\approx4200$ K and solar metallicity. Two alternative models require $D\gtrsim 3.3$--3.4 kpc at $0.4 M_\odot$, $T\approx4500$ K and half solar metallicity, and $0.5M_\odot$, $T\approx4300$ K and solar metallicity. These models yield mass transfer rates of $\sim\!\!10^{-10}M_\odot$/yr, compatible with those based on the estimated accreted mass of $\approx\!2\times 10^{25}$ g and the time between the 2018 discovery and the 1934 historical outburst.

subject: Industrial and product design

description: BACKGROUND: Jamming Gravity #2 is a performance installation for two people to explore balance through movement to sound jam. The choreographed dance performance was based on a score created with 'Soma-surface' - a modular system of 6 pressure sensitive plates designed by Feltham. CONTRIBUTION: Following the technical design development of the Soma-surface exhibited at VIVID 2016 (Jamming Gravity #1), Jamming Gravity #2 aimed to develop and program digital sound software instruments in response to a choreographic score tailored to the unique full body sensing of the Soma-surface. This work was a significant departure from the open and exploratory interactive sound of the first iteration at VIVID, in that the pressure generated by the performers through the surface sensing was mapped to a number of sound synthesis features that gave far greater movement expression and kinaesthetic awareness for the performers. The research extends Feltham's ongoing research on walking and somatics in HCI by developing understandings of creative self-awareness of walking and moving on interactive surfaces and spaces through mediated sound information or sonification. SIGNIFICANCE: Feltham was invited to present Jamming Gravity #2 at 'Performing Mobilities' - a curated series of expositions, mobile performances and a four-day symposium of experimental arts projects that explore and critique what it means to perform movement. 'Performing Mobilities' is the Australian regional cluster contribution to Fluid States - a networked, year-long program initiated by Performance Studies international (PSi). The Melbourne program is part of 15 performance gatherings across in the world in 2015.

description: Reservoir Computing offers a great computational framework where a physical system can directly be used as computational substrate. Typically a "reservoir" is comprised of a large number of dynamical systems, and is consequently high-dimensional. In this work, we use just a single simple low-dimensional dynamical system, namely a driven pendulum, as a potential reservoir to implement reservoir computing. Remarkably we demonstrate, through numerical simulations, as well as a proof-of-principle experimental realization, that one can successfully perform learning tasks using this single system. The underlying idea is to utilize the rich intrinsic dynamical patterns of the driven pendulum, especially the transient dynamics which has so far been an untapped resource. This allows even a single system to serve as a suitable candidate for a "reservoir". Specifically, we analyze the performance of the single pendulum reservoir for two classes of tasks: temporal and non-temporal data processing. The accuracy and robustness of the performance exhibited by this minimal one-node reservoir in implementing these tasks strongly suggest a new direction in designing the reservoir layer from the point of view of efficient applications. Further, the simplicity of our learning system offers an opportunity to better understand the framework of reservoir computing in general and indicates the remarkable machine learning potential of even a single simple nonlinear system.

description: The parquet approach to vertex corrections is unbiased but computationally demanding. Most applications are therefore restricted to small cluster sizes or rely on various simplifying approximations. We have recently shown that the bosonization of the parquet diagrams provides interpretative and algorithmic advantages over the original purely fermionic formulation. Here we present first results of the numerical implementation of this method by applying it to the half-filled Hubbard model on the square lattice at weak coupling. The improved algorithmic performance allows us to evaluate the parquet approximation for a $16\times16$ lattice, retaining the full momentum and frequency structure of the various vertex functions. We discuss their symmetries and consider parametrizations of their momentum dependence using the truncated unity approximation.

description: Large and publicly available astronomical archives open up new possibilities to search and study Solar System objects. However, advanced techniques are required to deal with the large amounts of data. These unbiased surveys can be used to constrain the size distribution of minor bodies, which represents a piece of the puzzle for the formation models of the Solar System. We aim to identify asteroids in archival images from the ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Science data archive using data mining. We developed a citizen science project on the Zooniverse platform, Hubble Asteroid Hunter (www.asteroidhunter.org) asking members of the public to identify asteroid trails in archival HST images. We used the labels provided by the volunteers to train an automated deep learning model built with Google Cloud AutoML Vision to explore the entire HST archive to detect asteroids crossing the field-of-view. We report the detection of 1701 new asteroid trails identified in archival HST data via our citizen science project and the subsequent machine learning exploration of the ESA HST science data archive. We detect asteroids to a magnitude of 24.5, which are statistically fainter than the populations of asteroids identified from ground-based surveys. The majority of asteroids are distributed near the ecliptic plane, as expected, where we find an approximate density of 80 asteroids per square degree. We match 670 trails (39% of the trails found) with 454 known Solar System objects in the Minor Planet Center database, however, no matches are found for 1031 (61%) trails. The unidentified asteroids are faint, being on average 1.6 magnitudes fainter than the asteroids we succeeded to identify. They probably correspond to previously unknown objects. This work demonstrates that citizen science and machine learning are useful techniques for the systematic search of SSOs in existing astronomy science archives.

description: We consider warped AdS$_3\times $S$^2\times$M$_5$ backgrounds in type II supergravity preserving small ${\cal N}=(4,0)$ supersymmetry. We show that imposing ${\cal N}=(4,0)$ supersymmetry imposes between 0 and 3 a priori isometries in the internal M$_5$. In this work we focus on classes of solution where M$_5$ exhibits no a prioi isometry which imposes additional constraints. Solving these in IIA forces M$_5$ to support an SU(2)-structure, a case already studied in arXiv:1908.09851, while in IIB one arrives at two broad new classes with identity structure that we reduce to local expressions for the physical fields and PDEs.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown that variants of patched homolog 1 (PTCH1) are associated with lung function abnormalities in the general population. It has also been shown that sonic hedgehog (SHH), an important ligand for PTCH1, is upregulated in the airway epithelium of patients with asthma and is suggested to be involved in airway remodeling. The contribution of hedgehog signaling to airway remodeling and inflammation in asthma is poorly described. To determine the biological role of hedgehog signaling-associated genes in asthma, gene silencing, over-expression, and pharmacologic inhibition studies were conducted after stimulating human airway epithelial cells or not with transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), an important fibrotic mediator in asthmatic airway remodeling that also interacts with SHH pathway. TGFβ1 increased hedgehog-signaling-related gene expression including SHH, GLI1 and GLI2. Knockdown of PTCH1 or SMO with siRNA, or use of hedgehog signaling inhibitors, consistently attenuated COL1A1 expression induced by TGFβ1 stimulation. In contrast, Ptch1 over-expression augmented TGFβ1-induced an increase in COL1A1 and MMP2 gene expression. We also showed an increase in hedgehog-signaling-related gene expression in primary airway epithelial cells from controls and asthmatics at different stages of cellular differentiation. GANT61, an inhibitor of GLI1/2, attenuated TGFβ1-induced increase in COL1A1 protein expression in primary airway epithelial cells differentiated in air–liquid interface. Finally, to model airway tissue remodeling in vivo, C57BL/6 wildtype (WT) and Ptch1+/− mice were intranasally challenged with house dust mite (HDM) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control. Ptch1+/− mice showed reduced sub-epithelial collagen expression and serum inflammatory proteins compared to WT mice in response to HDM challenge. In conclusion, TGFβ1-induced airway remodeling is partially mediated through the hedgehog signaling pathway via the PTCH1-SMO-GLI axis. The Hedgehog signaling pathway is a promising new potential therapeutic target to alleviate airway tissue remodeling in patients with allergic airways disease.

To demonstrate its feasibility, we present the first lattice calculation with a gauge ensemble at $m_π= 142$ MeV. By adopting the infinite-volume reconstruction method along with an optimized subtraction scheme, we obtain $ΔE_{\text{TPE}} = -28.9(4.9)~μ\text{eV} + 93.72~μ\text{eV}/\text{fm}^2 \cdot\langle r_p^2 \rangle$, or $ΔE_{\text{TPE}} = 37.4(4.9)~μ$eV, which is consistent with the previous theoretical results in a range of 20-50 $μ$eV.

Our approach provides insights into fundamental aspects of multi-spectral light scattering and could find applications in imaging or coherent control.

It engages intertextually with two sources - a biography of a 4th-century Chinese nun and a short story. Research contribution: Structurally, this work echoes a like-titled short story by Lispector: each text begins over and again, imitating a cubist painting. Repeated attempts at beginning emphasise the way in which the matter at hand can perhaps never be properly broached or understood. Lispector's work has been noted for how it 'foregrounds perception that transcends blinkered normality' (Power 2014). This work links an early biography with a recent assault in inner Melbourne to attempt to achieve the same end. Closure is disturbingly elusive. Research significance: This work extends a developing trajectory in Australian fiction that engages with Asia and early Buddhism, including my own earlier works (2005, 2013), and works by Chi Vu and Hua Pham. Such works re-interpret early Buddhist fable while privileging feminist approaches to subjectivity. This work is the product of a nationally competitive Asialink Arts residency at Peking University, Beijing, 2014. It is a timely engagement in the cycle of violence against women and, importantly, offers women who have been victims of violence the narrative possibility of courage and hope.

description: We consider an open quantum system with Hamiltonian $H_S$ whose spectrum is given by a generalized Fibonacci sequence weakly coupled to a Boson reservoir in equilibrium at inverse temperature $β$. We find the generator of the reduced system evolution and explicitly compute the stationary state of the system, that turns out to be unique and faithful, in terms of parameters of the model. If the system Hamiltonian is generic we show that convergence towards the invariant state is exponentially fast and compute explicitly the spectral gap for low temperatures, when quantum features of the system are more significant, under an additional assumption on the spectrum of $H_S$.

description: 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) is widely used as a vulcanisation accelerator and is contained in many products made from natural rubber, e.g. car tires. Additionally, it is used as a fungicide in paint or fibre. Systemically human exposure to 2-MBT can occur via dermal and oral uptake or inhalation. Locally, 2-MBT can cause skin sensitisation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified 2-MBT as probably carcinogenic to humans. 516 urine samples of 3- to 17-year-old children and adolescents living in Germany were analysed for the concentration of 2-MBT in the population representative German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents 2014-2017 (GerES V). 2-MBT was quantified above the limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.0 my g/L in 50% of the 516 samples analysed. The geometric mean of urinary 2-MBT concentration was 1.018 my g/L and 0.892 my g/gcreatinine, the arithmetic mean was 1.576 my g/L (1.351 myg/gcrea). The median concentration was below the LOQ. Analyses of subgroups revealed higher 2-MBT concentrations in children aged 3-5 years compared to 14- to 17-year-old adolescents. All urinary 2-MBT concentrations were well below the health-based guidance value HBM-I for children of 4.5 my g/L. Therefore, current exposure levels are - according to current knowledge - not of concern. For the first time, reference values can be derived for 2-MBT for children and adolescents in Germany. This will facilitate to recognise changing exposure levels in this population group in Germany and identification of unusually high exposures. © 2020 The Authors.

description: We study the full angular distribution of semileptonic rare charm baryon decays in which the secondary baryon undergoes weak decay with sizable polarization parameter, $Ξ_c^+\toΣ^+\,(\to pπ^0)\ell^+\ell^-$, $Ξ_c^0\toΛ^0\,(\to p π^-)\ell^+\ell^-$ and $Ω_c^0\toΞ^0\,(\to Λ^{0} π^0)\ell^+\ell^-$. Such self-analyzing decay chains allow for seven additional observables compared to three-body decays such as $Λ_c \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$, with different sensitivities to the $|Δc|=|Δu|=1$ weak couplings. Opportunities to test the standard model in $c \to u$ transitions with standard model null tests and other angular observables are worked out. We show that a joint model-independent analysis of the leptonic $A_{\text{FB}}^\ell$, hadronic $A_{\text{FB}}^{\text{H}}$, and combined forward-backward asymmetry $A_{\text{FB}}^{\ell\text{H}}$ together with the fraction of longitudinally produced leptons, $F_L$, is able to pin down the dipole couplings $C_{7},C^\prime_{7}$ and the semileptonic (axial-) vector ones $C_{10},C^\prime_{9},C^\prime_{10}$. $A_{\text{FB}}^{\text{H}}$ is also accessible with dineutrino $c \to u ν\bar ν$ modes and probes right-handed currents.

description: Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is accepted as a primary modality for the management of renal stones up to 2 cm. The limitations of RIRS in larger volume stones include limited visualization due to the snow-globe effect and persistence of fragments that cannot be removed. We describe a new, simple, cost-effective modification that can be attached to any flexible ureteroscope which allows simultaneous/alternating suction and aspiration during/after laser lithotripsy using the scope as a conduit to remove the fragments or dust from the pelvicalyceal system called direct in-scope suction (DISS) technique. Between September 2020 and September 2021, 30 patients with kidney stones underwent RIRS with the DISS technique. They were compared with 28 patients who underwent RIRS with a 11Fr/13Fr suction ureteral access sheaths (SUASs) in the same period. RIRS and laser lithotripsy were carried out traditionally with a Holmium laser for the SUAS group or a thulium fiber laser for the DISS group. There was no difference in age, gender, and history of renal lithiasis between the two groups. Ten (40%) patients had multiple stones in the DISS groups, whilst there were no patients with multiple stones in the SUAS group. Median stone size was significantly higher in the DISS group [22.0 (18.0–28.8) vs. 13.0 (11.8–15.0) millimeters, p < 0.001]. Median surgical time was significantly longer in the DISS group [80.0 (60.0–100) minutes] as compared to the SUAS group [47.5 (41.5–60.3) minutes, p < 0.001]. Hospital stay was significantly shorter in the DISS group [1.00 (0.667–1.00) vs. 1.00 (1.00–2.00) days, p = 0.02]. Postoperative complications were minor, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. The incidence of residual fragments did not significantly differ between the two groups [10 (33.3%) in the DISS group vs. 10 (35.7%) in the SUAS group, p = 0.99] but 10 (33.3%) patients required a further RIRS for residual fragments in the DISS group, whilst only one (3.6%) patient in the SUAS group required a subsequent shock wave lithotripsy treatment. Our audit study highlighted that RIRS with DISS technique was feasible with an acceptable rate of retreatment as compared to RIRS with SUAS.

description: Background A Drone Opera is a project developed by Matthew Sleeth that explores the rapidly developing technology of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), colloquially known as drones, and their social and cultural impact. The project features an experimental multimedia performance including drones, their pilots and opera singers, combined with a sound score, laser light design and moving image. A Drone Opera is funded by the Australia Council for the Arts and the City of Melbourne and is produced by Experimenta - Australia's preeminent media arts organisation. It was reviewed by many media organisations including ABC's The Mix, Sydney Morning Herald, and Realtime Arts.
Contribution A Drone Opera contributed a new way of accessing drone technology by placing drone technology within a sophisticated performance setting. My contribution was the development of a sound design that wove the mechanical noise of flying drones with the performances of three opera singers. The relationship between mechanical noise, electronic and environmental sound and the sylised vocalisations of opera provided a unique sonic undercurrent to support the dramatic visual element of the presentation. In many ways it is a reimaging of the work of the Futurists from the early 20th century with their embracement of noise and technology within performance settings such as concert halls and theatre. Luigi Russolo's manifesto 'The Art of Noises' was central to the development of the sound design.
Significance A Drone Opera was supported by numerous funding agencies including the Australia Council for the Arts, City of Melbourne and Arts House. A Drone Opera was a major project for Experimenta Media Arts incorporated who invested significant resources into the development, production and presentation of the project. It was presented over four sold out evenings to an audience of around 600 people. A Drone Opera sought to shift audience knowledge of drones from political abstraction into embodied experience in time and space.

description: In this letter, we propose an algorithm for learning a sparse weighted graph by estimating its adjacency matrix under the assumption that the observed signals vary smoothly over the nodes of the graph. The proposed algorithm is based on the principle of majorization-minimization (MM), wherein we first obtain a tight surrogate function for the graph learning objective and then solve the resultant surrogate problem which has a simple closed form solution. The proposed algorithm does not require tuning of any hyperparameter and it has the desirable feature of eliminating the inactive variables in the course of the iterations - which can help speeding up the algorithm. The numerical simulations conducted using both synthetic and real world (brain-network) data show that the proposed algorithm converges faster, in terms of the average number of iterations, than several existing methods in the literature.

description: The silhouette of a black hole having a critical curve (an unstable bound photon orbit) when illuminated by an optically thin accretion disk whose emission is confined to the equatorial plane shows a distinctive central brightness depression (the shadow) whose outer edge consists of a series of strongly lensed, self-similar rings superimposed with the disk's direct emission. While the size and shape of the critical curve depend only on the background geometry, the pattern of bright and dark regions (including the size and depth of the shadow itself) in the image is strongly influenced by the (astro)physics of the accretion disk. This aspect makes it difficult to extract clean and clear observational discriminators between the Kerr black hole and other compact objects. In the presence of a second critical curve, however, observational differences become apparent. In this work we shall consider some spherically symmetric black hole and wormhole geometries characterized by the presence of a second critical curve, via a uniparametric family of extensions of the Schwarzschild metric. By assuming three toy models of geometrically thin accretion disks, we show the presence of additional light rings in the intermediate region between the two critical curves. The observation of such rings could represent a compelling evidence for the existence of black hole mimickers having multiple critical curves.

description: Here we present the analysis of the distribution of rotation periods and light curve amplitudes based on 2859 family asteroids in 16 Main Belt families based on 9912 TESS asteroid light curves in the TSSYS-DR1 asteroid light curve database. We found that the distribution of the light curve properties follow a family-specific character in some asteroid families, including the Hungaria, Maria, Juno, Eos, Eucharis, and Alauda families. While in other large families, these distributions are in general very similar to each other. We confirm that older families tend to contain a larger fraction of more spheroidal, low-amplitude asteroids. We found that rotation period distributions are different in the cores and outskirts of the Flora and Maria families, while the Vesta, Eos, and Eunomia families lack this feature. We also confirm that very fast spinning asteroids are close to spherical (or spinning top shapes), and minor planets rotating slower than ~11 hour are also more spherical than asteroids in the 4--8 hour period range and this group is expected to contain the most elongated bodies.
