Bistability and nonequilibrium condensation in a driven-dissipative Josephson array: a c-field model

description: Developing theoretical models for nonequilibrium quantum systems poses significant challenges. Here we develop and study a multimode model of a driven-dissipative Josephson junction chain of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates, as realised in the experiment of Labouvie et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 235302 (2016)]. The model is based on c-field theory, a beyond-mean-field approach to Bose-Einstein condensates that incorporates fluctuations due to finite temperature and dissipation. We find the c-field model is capable of capturing all key features of the nonequilibrium phase diagram, including bistability and a critical slowing down in the lower branch of the bistable region. Our model is closely related to the so-called Lugiato-Lefever equation, and thus establishes new connections between nonequilibrium dynamics of ultracold atoms with nonlinear optics, exciton-polariton superfluids, and driven damped sine-Gordon systems.

description: Semi-device-independent quantum key distribution aims to achieve a balance between the highest level of security, device independence, and experimental feasibility. Semi-quantum key distribution presents an intriguing approach that seeks to minimize users' reliance on quantum operations while maintaining security, thus enabling the development of simplified and hardware fault-tolerant quantum protocols. In this work, we introduce a coherence-based, semi-device-independent, semi-quantum key distribution protocol built upon a noise-robust version of a coherence equality game that witnesses various types of coherence. Security is proven in the bounded quantum storage model, requiring users to implement only classical operations, specifically fixed-basis detections.

Professional development for clerkship administrators: a 16-year overview of the clerkship administrator certificate program
Creators: name: Beck Dallaghan, Gary
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2020

description: Background: Increasing accreditation requirements as well as transformations in medical school curricula necessitate administrative staff who are not only invested in the clerkship coordinator role but also view what they do as a career. To date, there has been a lack of professional development opportunities for clerkship administrators. Methods: In 2003, the Central Group on Educational Affairs of the Association of American Medical Colleges recognized a need for professional development for clerkship administrators. The Clerkship Administrator Certificate Program emerged from that decision and presented for the first time in 2004 in Omaha, Nebraska. This article provides an overview of the program, how it has been evaluated, and how it continues to evolve. Results: The program had two guiding
principles: to offer professional development opportunities for clerkship administrators through interactive workshops and to ensure the program was feasible both in terms of completion and in cost. Over the past 16 years, the Clerkship Administrator Certificate Program workshops have been delivered to over 300 clerkship administrators. Of those, 206 have completed a project in order to receive their certificate. Projects have related to innovations in medical education (n = 41), grading (n = 26), professional development (n = 26), and patient care (n = 20) to name a few. Discussion: In order to meet the demands for
presenting the workshops, a train-the-trainer model has been employed to expand the number of individuals presenting the workshops. Additional research needs to be done to determine influence of the program on future professional development endeavors.
Strongly lensed neutral hydrogen emission: detection predictions with current and future radio interferometers

description: Strong gravitational lensing provides some of the deepest views of the Universe, enabling studies of high-redshift galaxies only possible with next-generation facilities without the lensing phenomenon. To date, 21 cm radio emission from neutral hydrogen has only been detected directly out to z~0.2, limited by the sensitivity and instantaneous bandwidth of current radio telescopes. We discuss how current and future radio interferometers such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will detect lensed HI emission in individual galaxies at high redshift. Our calculations rely on a semi-analytic galaxy simulation with realistic HI disks (by size, density profile and rotation), in a cosmological context, combined with general relativistic ray tracing. Wide-field, blind HI surveys with the SKA are predicted to be efficient at discovering lensed HI systems, increasingly so at z > 2. This will be enabled by the combination of the magnification boosts, the steepness of the HI luminosity function at the high-mass end, and the fact that the HI spectral line is relatively isolated in frequency. These surveys will simultaneously provide a new technique for foreground lens selection and yield the highest redshift HI emission detections. More near term (and existing) cm-wave facilities will push the high redshift HI envelope through targeted surveys of known lenses.

description: Reservoir computing (RC) has received recent interest because reservoir weights do not need to be trained, enabling extremely low-resource consumption implementations, which could have a transformative impact on edge computing and in-situ learning where resources are severely constrained. Ideally, a natural hardware reservoir should be passive, minimal, expressive, and feasible; to date, proposed hardware reservoirs have had difficulty meeting all of these criteria. We therefore propose a reservoir that meets all of these criteria by leveraging the passive interactions of dipole-coupled, frustrated nanomagnets. The frustration significantly increases the number of stable reservoir states, enriching reservoir dynamics, and as such these frustrated nanomagnets fulfill all of the criteria for a natural hardware reservoir. We likewise propose a complete frustrated nanomagnet reservoir computing (NMRC) system with low-power complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry to interface with the reservoir, and initial experimental results demonstrate the reservoir's feasibility. The reservoir is verified with micromagnetic simulations on three separate tasks demonstrating expressivity. The proposed system is compared with a CMOS echo-state-network (ESN), demonstrating an overall resource decrease by a factor of over 10,000,000, demonstrating that because NMRC is naturally passive and minimal it has the potential to be extremely resource efficient.

description: A window of opportunity for immune responses to extinguish human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)
exists from the moment of transmission through establishment of the latent pool of HIV-1-infected cells. A critical
time to study the initial immune responses to the transmitted/founder virus is the eclipse phase of HIV-1 infection
(time from transmission to the first appearance of plasma virus), but, to date, this period has been logistically
difficult to analyze. To probe B-cell responses immediately following HIV-1 transmission, we have determined
envelope-specific antibody responses to autologous and consensus Envs in plasma donors from the United States
for whom frequent plasma samples were available at time points immediately before, during, and after HIV-1
plasma viral load (VL) ramp-up in acute infection, and we have modeled the antibody effect on the kinetics of
plasma viremia. The first detectable B-cell response was in the form of immune complexes 8 days after plasma virus
detection, whereas the first free plasma anti-HIV-1 antibody was to gp41 and appeared 13 days after the appearance
of plasma virus. In contrast, envelope gp120-specific antibodies were delayed an additional 14 days. Mathematical
modeling of the earliest viral dynamics was performed to determine the impact of antibody on HIV replication in
vivo as assessed by plasma VL. Including the initial anti-gp41 immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, or both responses in
the model did not significantly impact the early dynamics of plasma VL. These results demonstrate that the first
IgM and IgG antibodies induced by transmitted HIV-1 are capable of binding virions but have little impact on
acute-phase viremia at the timing and magnitude that they occur in natural infection.
Treatment with lamivudine, zidovudine, or both in hiv-positive patients with 200 to 500 cd4+ cells per cubic millimeter

description: Background. The reverse-transcriptase inhibitor
lamivudine has in vitro synergy with zidovudine
against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We
studied the activity and safety of lamivudine plus zidovudine
as compared with either drug alone as treatment for
patients with HIV infection, most of whom had not previously
received zidovudine.
Methods. Three hundred sixty-six patients with 200
to 500 CD4+ cells per cubic millimeter who had received
zidovudine for four weeks or less were randomly assigned
to treatment with one of four regimens: 300 mg of
lamivudine every 12 hours; 200 mg of zidovudine every
8 hours; 150 mg of lamivudine every 12 hours plus zidovudine;
or 300 mg of lamivudine every 12 hours plus zidovudine.
The study was double-blind and lasted 24
weeks, with an extension phase for another 28 weeks.
Results. Over the 24-week period, the low-dose and
high-dose regimens combining lamivudine and zidovudine
were associated with greater increases in the
CD4+ cell count (P=0.002 and P=0.015, respectively)
and the percentage of CD4+ cells (P<0.001 for both)
and with greater decreases in plasma levels of HIV type
1 (HIV-1) RNA (P<0.001 for both) than was treatment
with zidovudine alone. Combination therapy was also
more effective than lamivudine alone in lowering plasma
HIV-1 RNA levels and increasing the percentage of
CD4+ cells (P<0.001 for all comparisons), and these advantages
persisted through 52 weeks. Adverse events
were no more frequent with combination therapy than
with zidovudine alone.
Conclusions. In HIV-infected patients with little or no
prior antiretroviral therapy, treatment with a combination
of lamivudine and zidovudine is well tolerated over a oneyear
period and produces more improvement in immunologic
and virologic measures than does treatment with either
agent alone. (N Engl J Med 1995;333:1662-9.)

description: Based on the weak coupling expansion of gravity, we calculate the gravitational contributions to yukawa coupling, scalar quartic coupling as well as gauge couplings with general Landau-DeWitt gauge-fixing choice and a gauge preserving (of SM gauge group) cut off regularization scheme. We find that the results depend on the Landau-DeWitt gauge-fixing parameter. Based on the two loop RGE of SM couplings with one loop full gravitational contributions in harmonic gauge, we study the constraints on the higgs and top quark mass from the requirement of existing the other degenerate vacua at the Planck-dominated region. Our numerical calculations show that nature will not develop the other degenerate vacua at the Planck-dominated region with current higgs and top quark masses. On the other hand, requiring the existence of the other degenerate vacua at the Planck-dominated region will constrain the higgs and top mass to lie at approximately 130 and 174 GeV, respectively.

description: With the emergence of remote education and work in universities due to COVID-19, the `zoomification' of higher education, i.e., the migration of universities to the clouds, reached the public discourse. Ongoing discussions reason about how this shift will take control over students' data away from universities, and may ultimately harm the privacy of researchers and students alike. However, there has been no comprehensive measurement of universities' use of public clouds and reliance on Software-as-a-Service offerings to assess how far this migration has already progressed. We perform a longitudinal study of the migration to public clouds among universities in the U.S. and Europe, as well as institutions listed in the Times Higher Education (THE) Top100 between January 2015 and October. We find that cloud adoption differs between countries, with one cluster (Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland) showing a limited move to clouds, while the other (U.S., U.K, the Netherlands, THE Top100) frequently outsources universities' core functions and services -- starting long before the COVID-19 pandemic. We attribute this clustering to several socio-economic factors in the respective countries, including the general culture of higher education and the administrative paradigm taken towards running universities. We then analyze and interpret our results, finding that the implications reach beyond individuals' privacy towards questions of academic independence and integrity.

description: Several circumstances have culminated to create an environment where the local newspaper journalist-audience relationship is strained: a newspaper industry in an identity crisis, the rise of participatory journalism ushered in by Web 2.0, and the current heightened political climate. This mixed methods research study sheds light on the experiences of local newspaper journalists when they engage with audiences online, particularly when those interactions become uncivil. Major findings include that the overwhelming majority of local newspaper journalists have encountered or experienced incivility online from their local audiences; reporters and staff writers are very young, fairly new to their roles, and are on the front lines of incivility online; journalists feel a range of emotions when encountering or experiencing incivility online, including sadness, anger, and confusion, however some journalists accept incivility online as “part of the job”; peer support and mentorship in the newsroom is key; what policies on online engagement do exist are vague or narrowly focused on the reputation of the news organization; and journalists believe there definitely is a connection between what President Donald J. Trump says on the national stage and what the local audience says. Prior to this study, local newspaper journalists were an understudied group, and the findings and discussion provide points for reflection for both mass media scholars and the newspaper industry, as a better understanding of practices—both good and bad—can have major implications for the future of local journalism and its place in democracy.

description: Massive Klein-Gordon theory is quantized on the timelike hypercylinder in Minkowski space. Crucially, not only the propagating, but also the evanescent sector of phase space is included, laying in this way foundations for a quantum scattering theory of fields at finite distance. To achieve this, the novel $α$-Kähler quantization scheme is employed in the framework of general boundary quantum field theory. A potential quantization ambiguity is fixed by stringent requirements, leading to a unitary radial evolution. Formulas for building scattering amplitudes and correlation functions are exhibited. A novel LSZ formula is derived, applicable to scattering at finite distance.

For fixed $0\leq β<1/3$ and large $N$, we obtain a norm approximation to the many-body evolution in the $N$-particle Hilbert space. The leading order behaviour of the dynamics is determined by Hartree theory while the second order is given by Bogoliubov theory.

In this paper, it is shown that $Φ$ is a nonlinear $*$-Jordan-type derivation on A if and only if $Φ$ is an additive $*$-derivation. As application, we get a result on alternative $W^{*}$-algebras.

description: Background: The new protease inhibitors are potent
inhibitors of the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV), and in combination with other antiretroviral
drugs they may be able to cause profound and sustained
suppression of HIV replication.
Methods: In this double-blind study, 97 HIV-infected
patients who had received zidovudine treatment
for at least 6 months and had 50 to 400 CD4 cells per
cubic millimeter and at least 20,000 copies of HIV
RNA per milliliter were randomly assigned to one of
three treatments for up to 52 weeks: 800 mg of indinavir
every eight hours; 200 mg of zidovudine every
eight hours combined with 150 mg of lamivudine
twice daily; or all three drugs. The patients were followed
to monitor the occurrence of adverse events
and changes in viral load and CD4 cell counts.
Results: The decrease in HIV RNA over the first 24
weeks was greater in the three-drug group than in
the other groups (P0.001 for each comparison).
RNA levels decreased to less than 500 copies per
milliliter at week 24 in 28 of 31 patients in the threedrug
group (90 percent), 12 of 28 patients in the indinavir
group (43 percent), and none of 30 patients
in the zidovudine–lamivudine group. The increase in
CD4 cell counts over the first 24 weeks was greater
in the two groups receiving indinavir than in the zidovudine–
lamivudine group (P<0.01 for each comparison).
The changes in the viral load and the CD4
cell count persisted for up to 52 weeks. All the regimens
were generally well tolerated.
Conclusions: In most HIV-infected patients with
prior antiretroviral therapy, the combination of indinavir,
zidovudine, and lamivudine reduces levels of
HIV RNA to less than 500 copies per milliliter for as
long as one year. (N Engl J Med 1997;337:734-9.)

description: To determine the frequencies of magnetic oscillations in neutron stars with highly tangled magnetic fields, we derive the perturbation equations. We assume that the field strength of the global magnetic structure is so small that such fields are negligible compared with tangled fields, which may still be far from a realistic configuration. Then, we systematically examine the spectra of the magnetic oscillations, as varying the magnetic field strength and stellar mass. The frequencies without crust elasticity are completely proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, whose proportionality constant depends strongly on the stellar mass. On the other hand, the oscillation spectra with crust elasticity become more complicated, where the frequencies even for weak magnetic fields are different from the crustal torsional oscillations without magnetic fields. For discussing spectra, the critical field strength can play an important role, and it is determined in such a way that the shear velocity is equivalent to the Alfvén velocity at the crust basis. Additionally, we find that the effect of the crust elasticity can be seen strongly in the fundamental oscillations with a lower harmonic index, $\ell$. Unlike the stellar models with a pure dipole magnetic field, we also find that the spectra with highly tangled magnetic fields become discrete, where one can expect many of the eigenfrequencies. Maybe these frequencies could be detected after the violent phenomena breaking the global magnetic field structure.

title: The effects of age and fitness status on circulating angiogenic T-cells

description: Advancing age is associated with a decline in immune cell function, both immunological function and potential for immune cells to participate in tissue repair. Discrete subsets of T-cells, such as CD31+ T cells, also known as angiogenic T cells (TANG), have strong angiogenic properties; however, the number of these cells in older populations is reportedly decreased. Evidence shows that T-cells are heavily influenced by cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity levels. However, the relationship between CRF and the ageing tissue regenerative T-cell subsets has yet to be explored. For the first time, this thesis investigates the effect of advancing age on specific T-cell subsets involved in vascular tissue repair, and the effects of CRF. Within this study, the link between these cells, age and cardiorespiratory fitness has been explored. The data demonstrate that CD31+ T-cells (TANG) contain more VEGF-A protein, indicative of greater angiogenic capability, than CD31- Tcells (13097 ± 10942 AU vs 12424 ± 11156 AU respectively, t = 2.390, p = 0.024). Additionally, whilst the circulating number of CD31+ expressing TANG cells does not differ between young and older adults, there is a proportional shift in the CD4+ component, with a lower proportion of total CD4+ cells expressing CD31 in older group compared to younger adults. However, CRF status (high vs. low) did not affect the number of circulating TANG cells or VEGF-A expression in CD31+ T-cells (F(1,28) = 1.989, p = 0.170), (F(1,28) = 1.462, p = 0.237) and (F(1,28) = 1.011, p = 0.324) for CD3+CD31+, CD4+CD31+ and CD8+CD31+ T-cells respectively. Moreover, high cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a lower proportion of CD8+CD31+ T-cells as a percentage of CD8+ T-cells. Moreover, older adults display elevated VEGF-A expression across all CD3+ subsets compared to younger people. In summary, age is associated with a shift in CD4+ TANG subsets, whilst CRF was found to be associated with a reduction in the proportion of CD8+ TANG cells.

description: We address the problem of understanding from first principles the conditions under which a quantum system equilibrates rapidly with respect to a concrete observable. On the one hand previously known general upper bounds on the time scales of equilibration were unrealistically long, with times scaling linearly with the dimension of the Hilbert space. These bounds proved to be tight, since particular constructions of observables scaling in this way were found. On the other hand, the computed equilibration time scales for certain classes of typical measurements, or under the evolution of typical Hamiltonians, turn out to be unrealistically short. However neither classes of results cover physically relevant situations, which up to now had only been tractable in specific models. In this paper we provide a new upper bound on the equilibration time scales which, under some physically reasonable conditions, give much more realistic results than previously known. In particular, we apply this result to the paradigmatic case of a system interacting with a thermal bath, where we obtain an upper bound for the equilibration time scale independent of the size of the bath. In this way, we find general conditions that single out observables with realistic equilibration times within a physically relevant setup.

description: Background: Raltegravir (MK-0518) is an inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)
integrase active against HIV-1 susceptible or resistant to older antiretroviral drugs.
Methods: We conducted two identical trials in different geographic regions to evaluate the
safety and efficacy of raltegravir, as compared with placebo, in combination with
optimized background therapy, in patients infected with HIV-1 that has triple-class
drug resistance in whom antiretroviral therapy had failed. Patients were randomly
assigned to raltegravir or placebo in a 2:1 ratio.
Results: In the combined studies, 699 of 703 randomized patients (462 and 237 in the raltegravir
and placebo groups, respectively) received the study drug. Seventeen of the 699
patients (2.4%) discontinued the study before week 16. Discontinuation was related
to the study treatment in 13 of these 17 patients: 7 of the 462 raltegravir recipients
(1.5%) and 6 of the 237 placebo recipients (2.5%). The results of the two studies
were consistent. At week 16, counting noncompletion as treatment failure, 355 of
458 raltegravir recipients (77.5%) had HIV-1 RNA levels below 400 copies per milliliter,
as compared with 99 of 236 placebo recipients (41.9%, P<0.001). Suppression of
HIV-1 RNA to a level below 50 copies per milliliter was achieved at week 16 in
61.8% of the raltegravir recipients, as compared with 34.7% of placebo recipients,
and at week 48 in 62.1% as compared with 32.9% (P<0.001 for both comparisons).
Without adjustment for the length of follow-up, cancers were detected
in 3.5% of
raltegravir recipients and in 1.7% of placebo recipients. The overall frequencies of
drug-related adverse events were similar in the raltegravir and placebo groups.
Conclusions: In HIV-infected patients with limited treatment options, raltegravir plus optimized
background therapy provided better viral suppression than optimized background
therapy alone for at least 48 weeks. (ClinicalTrials.gov numbers, NCT00293267 and
NCT00293254.)
