description: Background: The relevance of estrogen receptor (ER) expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is largely unknown. Clinical trials targeting ER with selective estrogen receptor modulators in pancreatic cancer did not show any benefit. Here, we analyze the impact of recently characterized ER isoform beta on survival in a cohort of patients with resected PDAC. Methods: Eighty-four patients having undergone pancreatic resection for PDAC at a single institution were identified. Tissue microarrays were constructed of archival tumor specimens. The expression of ER beta was determined by immunohistochemistry and quantified by a system established for estrogen receptor expression in breast cancer. ER beta expression was then correlated with clinicopathological parameters, and univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed. Results: Nuclear expression of ER beta was found in 31% of tumors. No significant correlation was found between ER beta expression and TNM status, tumor grade, age or sex. Univariate analysis revealed nodal metastasis and the expression of ER beta as factors correlating with a shorter overall survival and disease free survival. When comparing ER beta expression in patients surviving more than 24months with those who died from the tumor within 12 or 24months, respectively, a significantly lower ER beta expression was found in the long term survivors. In multivariate analysis, ER beta expression was demonstrated to be an independent predictor of shorter overall survival. Conclusions: In resected PDAC, expression of ER beta seems to correlate with poor prognosis. These data may help to identify patients who may benefit from additional systemic therapy including selective estrogen receptor modulators.
Load balancing under $d$-thinning

description: In the classical balls-and-bins model, $m$ balls are allocated into $n$ bins one by one uniformly at random. In this note, we consider the $d$-thinning variant of this model, in which the process is regulated in an on-line fashion as follows. For each ball, after a random bin has been selected, an overseer may decide, based on all previous history, whether to accept this bin or not. However, one of every $d$ consecutive suggested bins must be accepted. The maximum load of this setting is the number of balls in the most loaded bin. We show that after $Θ(n)$ balls have been allocated, the least maximum load achievable with high probability is $(d+o(1))\sqrt[d]{\frac{d\log n}{\log\log n}}$. This should be compared with the related $d$-choice setting, in which the optimal maximum load achievable with high probability is $\frac{\log\log n}{\log d}+O(1)$.

description: Renal denervation (RDN) is one of the most frequently used invasive methods for the treatment of arterial hypertension. However, recent randomized sham-controlled studies raised concern about the efficacy and predictability of response. We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of patients, who underwent RDN in our hypertension center between November 2010 and April 2014 and report here outcomes twelve months after procedure based on 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. We defined ten-mm Hg decrease in office systolic blood pressure (SBP) as a cut-off for response and looked for possible predictors of this response using binary multiple regression analysis. 42 patients were included. Their mean age was 59.6 +/- 9.2 years and 24% were female. Baseline office SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were 164.1 +/- 20.3 and 91.8 +/- 12.4 mm Hg respectively. Mean 24 h-SBP significantly decreased from 149.8 +/- 13.3 mm Hg to 141.2 +/- 14.6 mm Hg. Mean 24 h-DBP significantly decreased from 83.3 +/- 11.7 mm Hg to 78.8 +/- 11.2 mm Hg. A higher level of mean 24 h-DBP and office DBP was shown to be predictive for response in office BP and a higher level of mean 24 h-DBP for response in 24 h-SBP and 24 h-DBP. Further properly designed randomized trials are warranted to confirm this finding as well as further investigate the role of diabetes mellitus and arterial stiffness in RDN.

description: This paper analyzed the financial ramifications of differences in seasonal input requirements of cowcalf operations by comparing a defined 90-day calving season to year-round calving. Assuming the same calving rate and labor requirements for both production systems, as well as no premiums for larger, more uniform lots of calves with the controlled calving season, uncontrolled calving resulted in slightly higher returns primarily due to better seasonal forage utilization. However, minimal changes to calving rate, expected calf price premiums, and changes in labor requirements favored controlled calving with returns deemed insufficient for small operators to switch from their current practice.

description: It is shown that a macroscopic superposition state of radiation, strongly interacting with an ensemble of two-level atoms, is removed generating a coherent state describing a classical radiation field, when the thermodynamic limit is taken on the unitary evolution obtained by the Schroedinger equation. Decoherence appears as a dynamical effect in agreement with a recent proposal [M. Frasca, Phys. Lett. A 283, 271 (2001)]. To prove that this effect is quite general, we show that this same behavior appears when a superposition of two Fock number states is also considered. Higher order corrections are computed showing that this result tends to become exact in the thermodynamic limit. It appears as a genuine example of intrinsic collapse of the wave function.

description: This study explored the difference in costs of production among different size orchards in California. Costs differ with respect to pruning, pest control, harvest, equipment ownership, and land cost per acre. The results show that while 100- acre orchards are profitable, 5-acre and 20-acre orchards cannot cover land ownership costs.

description: This paper estimates technical efficiency on rice farms, following a translog stochastic production frontier (SPF) approach and compares the relative performance of farm operator households with and without off-farm wages and salaries. We use 2000, 2006 and 2013 USDA data for rice producing states-identifying different performance measures. Previous studies suggest that off-farm work influences economic performance—by “improving” managerial performance. We find that off-farm income generally boosts scale and technical efficiency on smaller, mid-size and larger operations, and is also consistent with higher farm and household returns. We also find that the number of hours worked off-farm by the operator contributes to a higher technical efficiency on larger typologies.

description: Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune skin disease mediated by autoantibodies directed against desmoglein-1 located in the upper epidermal layer. Rituximab, a monoclonal anit-CD20 antibody depleting b-cells, offers an effective treatment possibility for therapy-resistant pemphigus foliaceus. Here, we present the case of 55-year-old man who did not respond sufficiently to conventional treatment with prednisolone, azathioprine, and cyclophosphamide, but underwent almost complete remission after rituximab treatment. The patient relapsed 7 years later, and a repeated course of rituximab infusions led to a partial remission.

description: In this article, we consider scenarios in which traditional estimates for the active subspace method based on probabilistic Poincaré inequalities are not valid due to unbounded Poincaré constants. Consequently, we propose a framework that allows to derive generalized estimates in the sense that it enables to control the trade-off between the size of the Poincaré constant and a weaker order of the final error bound. In particular, we investigate independently exponentially distributed random variables in dimension two or larger and give explicit expressions for corresponding Poincaré constants showing their dependence on the dimension of the problem. Finally, we suggest possibilities for future work that aim for extending the class of distributions applicable to the active subspace method as we regard this as an opportunity to enlarge its usability.

description: China adopted a mandatory labeling policy of Genetically Modified (GM) food products in 2002. The strategy of separating trading was intended by Chinese regulators to protect domestic non-GMO production, provide non-GM soybean growers a higher selling price, and facilitate marketing. On December 22, 2004, the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) introduced a separate futures contract for No. 2 soybeans, which includes GM soybeans. With this change, the No. 1 soybean futures contract defaulted to a non-GM contract. Parcell (2001) defines the difference between the prices of non-GM and GM soybean futures contract soybeans as the price premium for non-GM soybeans. An intervention analysis is used to test the effects of the events on the price premium for non-GM soybeans in each sub-period. We investigate the impacts of three events—two contract specification changes in 2005 and 2010 and one grain law implementation in 2012—focusing on both the direction and size of their impacts. In conclusion the contract specification change from the DCE for the soybean futures contract did affect the price premium between the GM and non-GM soybean futures contracts. Therefore, these two cases of changes can be considered as successful interventions. Hence, there appeared to be informational efficiency in the market. It is also found the law issue has permanently increased the price premium for non-GM soybeans. Studying the market response linkages between the two soybean futures markets is helpful for understanding whether the newly opened GM soybean futures market transmits price information effectively.

description: Nell’opera di Simona Vinci il tema della violenza costituisce una costante sin dal suo romanzo di esordio. Nel corso del lavoro letterario di Vinci, la violenza viene analizzata in ciascuno dei suoi testi, nelle sue diverse declinazioni ma sempre come connessa al corpo sessuato e alle sue possibilità di trasformazione. In questo saggio si analizzeranno le modalità attraverso le quali, nei lavori di Vinci, il tema della violenza scivola al livello della scrittura, e al livello della gestione della trama. In Simona Vinci's work, the theme of violence has been a constant since her debut novel. In the course of Vinci's literary work, violence is analyzed in each of its texts, in its different forms but always as connected to the sexual body and its possibilities for transformation. In this paper I will analyze the ways in which, in Vinci's works, the theme of violence slides down to the level of writing, and to the level of plot management.

description: Agriculture has historically depended on honey bees for crop pollination. About 220,000 out of an estimated 240,000 species of plants that depend on pollination have required animals such as the honey bee. For the last several decades, the numbers of managed honey bees have been declining due to infestations of the Small Hive Beetle, in managed hives. Infestations of SHB can threaten honey quality, native bee survival and pollination services. In 1998, it was estimated that Florida’s beekeepers experienced an estimated loss of $3 million due to SHB. Beekeepers are presently using a variety of methods to control SHB, including biological control. However, many of these control measures are costly and the potential economic benefits are unknown. The primary objective of this study is to document the economic importance of the small hive beetle to honey bee production and the potential benefit of current control efforts, particularly biological control. This research will use a mail survey designed to document the methods used by beekeepers in Florida to control the SHB and their associated costs. A benefit cost analysis of various control methods will help document their relative efficiency and determine if biological control is a reasonable use of public funds.

description: Acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss (ALHL) is a type of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. ALHL is rarely a solitary condition but rather co-occurs with vertigo and tinnitus, being an element of contemporary diagnostic criteria for Meniere's disease (MD). The goal of our present study was to determine the value of ALHL for the early diagnosis of MD in patients presenting in the emergency room with AWL as a main complaint. The files of 106 patients with ALHL who were admitted to the emergency room over the period of 7 years and 104 patients with acute high- tone sensorineural hearing loss (AHHL) from the same period were included in this retrospective study. Forty ALHL patients presented with recurrent episode of hearing loss and 66 remaining patients presented with ALHL for the first time. Of the latter group, 25 patients gave consent for the follow-up. First, we analyzed the difference in the occurrence of tinnitus and vertigo between the ALHL and AHHL groups. In patients with ALHL, the incidence of vertigo with tinnitus and the number of recurrent episodes were statistically higher than in patients with AHHL. Next, we focused on the ALHL follow-up group (25 patients). In that group, two patients had all MD symptoms at presentation, 18 had ALHL and tinnitus and five ALHL only. Of 18 patients with ALHL and tinnitus at admission, five developed vertigo and thus the triad of Meniere's disease. None of the five patients with AHLH as a sole symptom developed MD during the follow-up time but four of them have developed tinnitus. Patients with recurrent ALHL had significantly higher incidence of MD than the patients with first episode. We conclude that some patients who present with ALHL and concomitant tinnitus or have recurrent episodes of ALHL are more likely to develop Meniere's disease than these patients, who present with ALHL as a sole symptom. Nonetheless, we recommend otological follow-up for all patients presenting with ALHL.

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya coupling in 3d insulators

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an overview of the microscopic theory of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) coupling in strongly correlated 3d compounds. Most attention in the paper centers around the derivation of the Dzyaloshinskii vector, its value, orientation, and sense (sign) under different types of the (super)exchange interaction and crystal field. We consider both the Moriya mechanism of the antisymmetric interaction and novel contributions, in particular, that of spin-orbital coupling on the intermediate ligand ions. We have predicted a novel magnetic phenomenon, {\it weak ferrimagnetism} in mixed weak ferromagnets with competing signs of the Dzyaloshinskii vectors. We revisit a problem of the DM coupling for a single bond in cuprates specifying the local spin-orbital contributions to Dzyaloshinskii vector focusing on the oxygen term. We predict a novel puzzling effect of the on-site staggered spin polarization to be a result of the on-site spin-orbital coupling and the the cation-ligand spin density transfer. The intermediate ligand NMR measurements are shown to be an effective tool to inspect the effects of the DM coupling in an external magnetic field. We predict the effect of a $strong$ oxygen weak antiferromagnetism in edge-shared CuO$_2$ chains due to uncompensated oxygen Dzyaloshinskii vectors. We revisit the effects of symmetric spin anisotropy directly induced by the DM coupling. A critical analysis will be given of different approaches to exchange-relativistic coupling based on the cluster and the DFT based calculations. Theoretical results are applied to different classes of 3d compounds from conventional weak ferromagnets ($α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$, FeBO$_3$, FeF$_3$, RFeO$_3$, RCrO$_3$,.. ) to unconventional systems such as weak ferrimagnets (e.g., RFe$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$O$_3$), helimagnets (e.g., CsCuCl$_3$), and parent cuprates (La$_2$CuO$_4$,...).

description: Recent hydro-meteorological disasters have sparked popular interest in climate change and on its role in driving these events. This paper focuses on the information provided by hurricanes in shaping public perceptions towards human-induced climate change. Because CO2 emissions from combustion are a sizeable contributor to greenhouse gas concentrations, and their reduction is a key ingredient in any climate change mitigation strategy, we focus on the energy sector. We estimate the impact of hurricanes on the stock returns of the largest energy companies in the US. We consider the most notorious, damaging hurricanes over the last 25 years: Sandy (2012), Katrina (2005), Andrew (1992), and Hugo (1989). We categorize energy companies into five groups according to CO2 intensity: coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables. We find that the impacts of a given hurricane on the stock prices of energy companies differ by energy type. Compared to companies in the coal industry, companies in oil, natural gas and renewable energy industries all reveal significantly more positive cumulative average abnormal returns and the effect is the largest for renewables, followed by oil and natural gas. Similarly, the impacts of hurricanes on stock prices of energy companies differ by hurricane.

description: The Strawberry Advisory System (SAS) was developed to improve temporal precision of fungicide application. Based on Net Present Value (NPV), it outperforms the traditional fungicide application method given weather and market conditions typical for Florida (Vorotnikova et al., 2014). This study uses stochastic dominance and efficiency with respect to a function (SDRF and SERF) criterion to rank ten-year NPV for SAS-based and traditional fungicide application methods, given a range of farmers’ risk preferences. SERF is a valuable tool because it incorporates a utility function and a range of decision-maker risk preferences. Data from two production experiments were used: 1) research trials at the University of Florida’s farm, and 2) field experiments at seven commercial strawberry farms, located in different Florida counties. Each experiment included two diseases, anthracnose and Botrytis, and two cultivars, more- and less-disease resistant. The results based on research trials show that for both diseases and cultivars, the SAS-based method is the most preferred given any farmers’ risk aversion levels. However, the results based on results from commercial farms show that while the SAS-based method ranks higher for the more-resistant cultivar, the traditional fungicide application method is preferred for the less-resistant cultivar, for any farmers’ risk preference.
Hidden Quantum Critical Point in a Ferromagnetic Superconductor

description: We consider a coexistence phase of both Ferromagnetism and superconductivity and solve the self-consistent mean-field equations at zero temperature. The superconducting gap is shown to vanish at the Stoner point whereas the magnetization doesn't. This indicates that the para-Ferro quantum critical point becomes a hidden critical point. The effective mass in such a phase gets enhanced whereas the spin wave stiffness is reduced as compared to the pure FM phase. The spin wave stiffness remains finite even at the para-Ferro quantum critical point.

description: Thermal states holographically dual to black holes in Einstein gravity display maximal Lyapunov growth as well as "butterfly effect cones". We study these effects in highly non-equilibrium states, obtained from an initial thermal state by the sudden injection of energy. We do this by computing out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) in BTZ-Vaidya spacetimes, which describe transitions between black holes at different temperatures. If both pairs of boundary operators appearing in the OTOC are inserted before the energy injection, we recover standard results, with butterfly effect cones displaying a light-cone structure. But when one pair of operators is inserted before and the other pair after the energy injection, the Lyapunov growth saturates the chaos bounds set by the local temperatures and the butterfly effect cones "open up", becoming superluminal, albeit in a way that does not violate causality. In the limiting case, in which the initial state is the vacuum, Lyapunov growth only starts after the energy injection. Our computations of the OTOCs are phrased in terms of gravitationally interacting particles, where fields are treated in a geodesic approximation and the eikonal phase shift is expressed in terms of stress tensors and shock waves associated to geodesics.

description: Yes-associated protein (YAP) acts as a mechanotransducer in determining the cell fate of murine C2C12 mesenchymal precursors as investigated after stimulation with ultrasound. We applied Focused Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (FLIPUS) at a sound frequency of 3.6 MHz, 100 Hz pulse repetition frequency (PRF), 27.8% duty cycle (DC), and 44.5 mW/cm(2) acoustic intensity ISATA for 5 minutes and evaluated early cellular responses. FLIPUS decreased the level of phosphorylated YAP on Serine 127, leading to higher levels of active YAP in the nucleus. This in turn enhanced the expression of YAP-target genes associated with actin nucleation and stabilization, cytokinesis, and cell cycle progression. FLIPUS enhanced proliferation of C2C12 cells, whereas silencing of YAP expression abolished the beneficial effects of ultrasound. The expression of the transcription factor MyoD, defining cellular myogenic differentiation, was inhibited by mechanical stimulation. This study shows that ultrasound exposure regulates YAP functioning, which in turn improves the cell proliferative potential, critical for tissue regeneration process.

description: When a logical qubit is protected using a quantum error-correcting code, the net effect of coding, decoherence (a physical channel acting on qubits in the codeword) and recovery can be represented exactly by an effective channel acting directly on the logical qubit. In this paper we describe a procedure for deriving the map between physical and effective channels that results from a given coding and recovery procedure. We show that the map for a concatenation of codes is given by the composition of the maps for the constituent codes. This perspective leads to an efficient means for calculating the exact performance of quantum codes with arbitrary levels of concatenation. We present explicit results for single-bit Pauli channels. For certain codes under the symmetric depolarizing channel, we use the coding maps to compute exact threshold error probabilities for achievability of perfect fidelity in the infinite concatenation limit.

description: We consider diquark condensation in external chromomagnetic fields at non--zero temperature. The general features of this process are investigated for various field configurations in relation to their symmetry properties and the form of the quark spectrum. According to the fields, there arises dimensional reduction by one or two units. In all cases there exists diquark condensation even at arbitrary weak quark attraction, confirming the idea about universality of this mechanism in a chromomagnetic field. Possible influence of a nonzero chemical potential on the results obtained is also discussed.

Thermodynamic geometry for charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes in AdS spacetimes

description: In this paper, we study the thermodynamic geometry of charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes (and Reissner-Nordström black holes, for the sake of comparison) in AdS: in both $(T,V)$- and $(S,P)$-planes. The thermodynamic phase space is known to have an underlying contact and metric structure; Ruppeiner geometry then naturally arises in this framework. Sign of Ruppeiner curvature can be used to probe the nature of interactions between the black hole microstructures. It is found that there are both attraction and repulsion dominated regions which are in general determined by the electric charge, Gauss-Bonnet coupling and horizon radius of the black hole. The results are physically explained by considering that these black hole systems consist of charged as well as neutral microstructures much like a binary mixture of fluids.

description: When analyzing galaxy clustering in multi-band imaging surveys, there is a trade-off between selecting the largest galaxy samples (to minimize the shot noise) and selecting samples with the best photometric redshift (photo-z) precision, which generally include only a small subset of galaxies. In this paper, we systematically explore this trade-off. Our analysis is targeted towards the third year data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), but our methods hold generally for other data sets. Using a simple Gaussian model for the redshift uncertainties, we carry out a Fisher matrix forecast for cosmological constraints from angular clustering in the redshift range $z = 0.2-0.95$. We quantify the cosmological constraints using a Figure of Merit (FoM) that measures the combined constraints on $Ω_m$ and $σ_8$ in the context of $Λ$CDM cosmology. We find that the trade-off between sample size and photo-z precision is sensitive to 1) whether cross-correlations between redshift bins are included or not, and 2) the ratio of the redshift bin width $δz$ and the photo-z precision $σ_z$. When cross-correlations are included and the redshift bin width is allowed to vary, the highest FoM is achieved when $δz \sim σ_z$. We find that for the typical case of $5-10$ redshift bins, optimal results are reached when we use larger, less precise photo-z samples, provided that we include cross-correlations. For samples with higher $σ_{z}$, the overlap between redshift bins is larger, leading to higher cross-correlation amplitudes. This leads to the self-calibration of the photo-z parameters and therefore tighter cosmological constraints. These results can be used to help guide galaxy sample selection for clustering analysis in ongoing and future photometric surveys.
