description: The MSSM with right-handed neutrino supermultiplets, gauged B-L symmetry and a non-vanishing sneutrino expectation value is the minimal theory that spontaneously breaks R-parity and is consistent with the bounds on proton stability and lepton number violation. This minimal B-L MSSM can have a colored/charged LSP, of which a stop LSP is the most amenable to observation at the LHC. We study the R-parity violating decays of a stop LSP into a bottom quark and charged leptons--the dominant modes for a generic "admixture" stop. A numerical analysis of the relative branching ratios of these decay channels is given using a wide scan over the parameter space. The fact that R-parity is violated in this theory by a vacuum expectation value of a sneutrino links these branching ratios directly to the neutrino mass hierarchy. It is shown how a discovery of bottom-charged lepton events at the LHC can potentially determine whether the neutrino masses are in a normal or inverted hierarchy, as well as determining the theta_23 neutrino mixing angle. Finally, present LHC bounds on these leptoquark signatures are used to put lower bounds on the stop mass.

description: Fusion of the EWS gene to FLI1 produces a fusion oncoprotein that drives an aberrant gene expression program responsible for the development of Ewing sarcoma. We used a homogenous proximity assay to screen for compounds that disrupt the binding of EWS-FLI1 to its cognate DNA targets. A number of DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents were found to non-specifically disrupt protein binding to DNA. In contrast, actinomycin D was found to preferentially disrupt EWS-FLI1 binding by comparison to p53 binding to their respective cognate DNA targets in vitro. In cell-based assays, low concentrations of actinomycin D preferentially blocked EWS-FLI1 binding to chromatin, and disrupted EWS-FLI1-mediated gene expression. Higher concentrations of actinomycin D globally repressed transcription. These results demonstrate that actinomycin D preferentially disrupts EWS-FLI1 binding to DNA at selected concentrations. Although the window between this preferential effect and global suppression is too narrow to exploit in a therapeutic manner, these results suggest that base-preferences may be exploited to find DNA-binding compounds that preferentially disrupt subclasses of transcription factors.

description: Oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph $G$ is the minimum order of an oriented graph $H$ such that $G$ admits a homomorphism to $H$. The oriented chromatic number of an unoriented graph $G$ is the maximal chromatic number over all possible orientations of $G$. In this paper, we prove that every Halin graph has oriented chromatic number at most 8, improving a previous bound by Hosseini Dolama and Sopena, and confirming the conjecture given by Vignal.

description: Two-state systems may exhibit mechanical forces of purely quantum origin that have no counterpart in classical physics. We show that the such forces must exist in molecular magnets due to quantum tunneling between classically degenerate magnetic states. They can be observed in the presence of a microwave field when the magnet is placed in a static magnetic field with a gradient.

description: While limitations on quantum computation by Markovian environmental noise are well-understood in generality, their behavior for different quantum circuits and noise realizations can be less universal. Here we consider a canonical quantum algorithm - Grover's algorithm for unordered search on $L$ qubits - in the presence of systematic noise. This allows us to write the behavior as a random Floquet unitary, which we show is well-characterized by random matrix theory (RMT). The RMT analysis enables analytical predictions for phases and phase transitions of the many-body dynamics. We find two separate transitions. At moderate disorder $δ_{c,\mathrm{gap}}\sim L^{-1}$, there is a ergodicity breaking transition such that a finite-dimensional manifold remains non-ergodic for $δ< δ_{c,\mathrm{gap}}$. Computational power is lost at a much smaller disorder, $δ_{c,\mathrm{comp}} \sim L^{-1/2}2^{-L/2}$. We comment on relevance to non-systematic noise in realistic quantum computers, including cold atom, trapped ion, and superconducting platforms.

description: Breast cancer occur both in hereditary and sporadic forms, and the later one comprises an overwhelming majority of breast cancer cases among women. Numerical and structural alterations involving chromosome 8, with loss of short arm (8p) and gain of long arm (8q), are frequently observed in breast cancer cells and tissues. In this study, we show that most of the human breast tumor cell lines examined display an over representation of 8q24, a chromosomal locus RecQL4 is regionally mapped to, and consequently, a markedly elevated level of RecQL4 expression. An increased RecQL4 mRNA level was also observed in a majority of clinical breast tumor samples (38/43) examined. shRNA-mediated RecQL4 suppression in MDA-MB453 breast cancer cells not only significantly inhibit the in vitro clonogenic survival and in vivo tumorigenicity. Further studies demonstrate that RecQL4 physically interacts with a major survival factor-survivin and its protein level affects survivin expression. Although loss of RecQL4 function due to gene mutations causally linked to occurrence of human RTS with features of premature aging and cancer predisposition, our studies provide the evidence that overexpression of RecQL4 due to gene amplification play a critical role in human breast tumor progression.

description: Children begin saying words sometime around their first birthday and continue to acquire a vocabulary of words until they begin to combine words  toward the end of the second year. The study reported here is about the progress of a single child in this period of language development. Observations of the kinds of words she learned, their relative frequency and persistence, and their referential functions revealed developments in cognition—concepts and conceptual relations—that led to discovering linguistic categories and a simple sentence grammar. This research was one of the earliest if not the first study to use video recorded observations in language acquisition research. These observations could be viewed repeatedly to inform the analyses and the conclusions reported here.  The carefully annotated transcriptions of the video record at 16+, 19+, 20+, and 22 months are presented in an Appendix.

 Type Material. Holotype, m#: BRAZIL: Mato Grosso do Sul, Costa Rica, Fazenda Santo Antônio, 21–27/X/ 1984, S.A. Vanin. Paratypes: Same data as holotype, 1 m #, 3 f#.
 Description. General colour light yellowish-brown. Lappets and area between ocelli pale to light brown, rest of head lighter (Fig. 4). Antennae brown, palpi light brown. Pronotum (Fig. 4) light brown with light yellowish median stripe and marginal spots. Legs yellowish to pale brown. Wing membrane and veins light brown, C, Sc and basal R paler. Cerci yellowish.
Male. Forewing length, 9.5–10.0mm. Hammer a truncate cone 0.09mm long (Fig. 5). Penial armature (Figs. 6–7) narrowing gradually from base to apex, hooks regularly curved with pointed tips, pair of large ventral vesicles present. Dorsal keel elevated in side view, anterior limit similar to a square bracket in dorsal view.
Female. Forewing length, 12.6–13.7mm. Subgenital plate 4-lobed (Fig. 8), median lobes separated by a wide notch; lobes of about same height. Posterior margin of sternum 9 almost straight, lightly sclerotized; field of hairs a T with long arms.
Egg. Oval, 0.22x 0.33mm (Fig. 9).
 Etymology. The epithet refers to the Ofaye (or Ofaié) Indians, that lived in the State and of whom a few remnant individuals live in a reservation.
 Remarks. The penial armature is similar to that of A. flintorum Froehlich 2002, but the dorsal keel is more elevated and, in dorsal view, resembles a square bracket. In the female, the median notch is angled and the apices of the median lobes are nearer to the lateral ones than to each other, while in A. flintorum the notch is rounded and the lobes are at about the same distances among them (Bispo & Froehlich, 2004). Additionally, A. flintorum is somewhat darker, the head lacks the light band at the M-line level and the pronotum lacks the lighter mid-stripe.

We assume that the thickness and the roughness are both of order 0 < " << 1. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution of this problem for any value of " and we establish some a priori estimates. Then we use the two-scale convergence technique to derive the limit problem when " tends to zero. Moreover we show that the limit velocity and micro-rotation elds are uniquely determined via auxiliary well-posed problems and the limit pressure is given as the unique solution of a Reynolds equation.

description: Children’s expressions of causality in natural discourse with adults were examined in terms of linguistic, contextual, and pragmatic influences. Specifically, the causal statements, questions, and responses to causal questions of eight 2-3-year-old children were examined in terms of developments in language content, form, and use. With respect to content, the referential and functional uses of causal expressions for both children and adults were to ongoing or imminent situations, with the speaker commenting on his or her intention to act, or requesting the listener to act. The major categories of reference in all three utterance types were negation, direction, and intention. In terms of form, there were (a) increasing use of connectives to link clauses for all the children, and (b) three main patterns of clause order differentiating among the children: cause/effect, effect/cause, and equal use of both orders. The use of expressions of causality developed in the order: child statements < adult questions < child responses < child questions. The relationship of the linguistic context to these developments was found to be one of mutual influence between child and adult. The results are discussed in terms of previous hypotheses concerning (a) causal reasoning (especially those put forth by Piaget, and by Werner & Kaplan in 1963), (b) the relationship between language and conceptual development, (c) the constraints involved in different discourse situations, and (d) variation in child language.

description: Activation of brain melanocortin-4 receptors (MC4-R) by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) or inhibition by agouti-related protein (AgRP) regulates food intake and energy expenditure and can modulate neuroendocrine responses to changes in energy balance. To examine the effects of AgRP inhibition on energy balance, a small molecule, non-peptide compound, TTP2515, developed by TransTech Pharma, Inc., was studied in vitro and in rodent models in vivo. TTP2515 prevented AgRP from antagonizing α-MSH-induced increases in cAMP in HEK 293 cells overexpressing the human MC4-R. When administered to rats by oral gavage TTP2515 blocked icv AgRP-induced increases in food intake, weight gain and adiposity and suppression of T4 levels. In both diet-induced obese (DIO) and leptin-deficient mice, TTP2515 decreased food intake, weight gain, adiposity and respiratory quotient. TTP2515 potently suppressed food intake and weight gain in lean mice immediately after initiation of a high fat diet (HFD) but had no effect on these parameters in lean chow-fed mice. However, when tested in AgRP KO mice, TTP2515 also suppressed food intake and weight gain during HFD feeding. In several studies TTP2515 increased T4 but not T3 levels, however this was also observed in AgRP KO mice. TTP2515 also attenuated refeeding and weight gain after fasting, an effect not evident in AgRP KO mice when administered at moderate doses. This study shows that TTP2515 exerts many effects consistent with AgRP inhibition however experiments in AgRP KO mice indicate some off-target effects of this drug. TTP2515 was particularly effective during fasting and in mice with leptin deficiency, conditions in which AgRP is elevated, as well as during acute and chronic HFD feeding. Thus the usefulness of this drug in treating obesity deserves further exploration, to define the AgRP dependent and independent mechanisms by which TTP2515 exerts its effects on energy balance.

description: We show how quantum coherence effects can be used to improve the resolution and the contrast of diffraction-limited images imprinted onto a probe field. The narrow and sharp spectral features generated by double-dark resonances (DDR) are exploited to control absorption, dispersion and diffraction properties of the medium. The spatial modulated control field can produce inhomoge- neous susceptibility of the medium that encodes the spatial feature of the control image to probe field in the presence of DDR. The transmission of cloned image can be enhanced by use of incoher- ent pump field. We find that the feature size of cloned image is four times smaller than the initial characteristic size of the control image even though the control image is completely distorted after propagation through 3 cm long Rb vapour cell. We further discuss how spatial optical switching is possible by using of induced transparency and absorption of the medium.

description: Background:
The 1918 influenza pandemic caused disproportionately high mortality among certain age groups. The mechanisms underlying these differences are not fully understood.
Objectives:
To explore the dynamics of the 1918 pandemic and to identify potential age-specific transmission patterns.
Methods:
We examined 1915–1923 daily mortality data in New York City (NYC) and estimated the outbreak duration and initial effective reproductive number (Re) for each 1-year age cohort.
Results:
Four pandemic waves occurred from February 1918 to April 1920. The fractional mortality increase (i.e. ratio of excess mortality to baseline mortality) was highest among teenagers during the first wave. This peak shifted to 25- to 29-year-olds in subsequent waves. The distribution of age-specific mortality during the last three waves was strongly correlated (r = 0·94 and 0·86). With each wave, the pandemic appeared to spread with a comparable early growth rate but then attenuate with varying rates. For the entire population, Re estimates made assuming 2-day serial interval were 1·74 (1·27), 1·74 (1·43), 1·66 (1·25), and 1·86 (1·37), respectively, during the first week (first 3 weeks) of each wave. Using age-specific mortality, the average Re estimates over the first week of each wave were 1·62 (95% CI: 1·55–1·68), 1·68 (1·65–1·72), 1·67 (1·61–1·73), and 1·69 (1·63–1·74), respectively; Re was not significantly different either among age cohorts or between waves.
Conclusions:
The pandemic generally caused higher mortality among young adults and might have spread mainly among school-aged children during the first wave. We propose mechanisms to explain the timing and transmission dynamics of the four NYC pandemic waves.

description: Understanding how heat waves affect morbidity and mortality, as well as the associated economic costs, is essential for characterizing the human health impacts of extreme heat under a changing climate. Only a handful of studies have examined healthcare costs associated with exposures to high temperatures. This research explores costs associated with hospitalizations for heat-related illness (HRI) in the United States using the 2001 to 2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). Descriptive statistics of patient data for HRI hospitalizations were examined and costs of hospitalizations were reported using the all-payer inpatient cost-to-charge ratio. Costs were examined using a log-gamma model with patient and hospital characteristics included as fixed effects. Adjusted mean costs were then compared across racial groups. The mean costs of HRI hospitalizations were higher among racial/ethnic minorities compared to Whites, who accounted for almost 65% of all HRI hospitalizations. Observed differences in costs based on income, insurance, and gender were also significant. These results suggest that these populations are suffering disproportionately from health inequity, thus, they could shoulder greater disease and financial burdens due to climate change. These findings may have important implications in understanding the economic impact public health planning and interventions will have on preventing hospitalizations related to extreme heat.

description: First, let $u_{g}$ be the unique solution of an elliptic variational inequality with source term $g$. We establish, in the general case, the error estimate between $u_{3}(μ)=μu_{g_{1}}+ (1-μ)u_{g_{2}}$ %(the convex combination of two solutions) and $u_{4}(μ)=u_{μg_{1}+ (1-μ) g_{2}}$ %(the solution corresponding to the convex combination of two data) for $μ\in [0, 1]$. Secondly, we consider a family of distributed optimal control problems governed by elliptic variational inequalities over the internal energy $g$ for each positive heat transfer coefficient $h$ given on a part of the boundary of the domain. For a given cost functional and using some monotony property between $u_{3}(μ)$ and $u_{4}(μ)$ given in F. Mignot, J. Funct. Anal., 22 (1976), 130-185, we prove the strong convergence of the optimal controls and states associated to this family of distributed optimal control problems governed by elliptic variational inequalities to a limit Dirichlet distributed optimal control problem, governed also by an elliptic variational inequality, when the parameter $h$ goes to infinity. We obtain this convergence without using the adjoint state problem (or the Mignot's conical differentiability) which is a great advantage with respect to the proof given in C.M. Gariboldi - D.A. Tarzia, Appl. Math. Optim., 47 (2003), 213-230, for optimal control problems governed by elliptic variational equalities.
Asymptotic equivalence of quantum state tomography and noisy matrix completion

description: Matrix completion and quantum tomography are two unrelated research areas with great current interest in many modern scientific studies. This paper investigates the statistical relationship between trace regression in matrix completion and quantum state tomography in quantum physics and quantum information science. As quantum state tomography and trace regression share the common goal of recovering an unknown matrix, it is nature to put them in the Le Cam paradigm for statistical comparison. Regarding the two types of matrix inference problems as two statistical experiments, we establish their asymptotic equivalence in terms of deficiency distance. The equivalence study motivates us to introduce a new trace regression model. The asymptotic equivalence provides a sound statistical foundation for applying matrix completion methods to quantum state tomography. We investigate the asymptotic equivalence for sparse density matrices and low rank density matrices and demonstrate that sparsity and low rank are not necessarily helpful for achieving the asymptotic equivalence of quantum state tomography and trace regression. In particular, we show that popular Pauli measurements are bad for establishing the asymptotic equivalence for sparse density matrices and low rank density matrices.

description: We discuss how the Standard Model particles appear from the type IIB matrix model, which is considered to be a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In particular, we are concerned with a constructive definition of the theory, in which we start with finite-N matrices and take the large-N limit afterwards. In that case, it was pointed out recently that realizing chiral fermions in the model is more difficult than it had been thought from formal arguments at N=infinity and that introduction of a matrix version of the warp factor is necessary. Based on this new insight, we show that two generations of the Standard Model fermions can be realized by considering a rather generic configuration of fuzzy S^2 and fuzzy S^2 * S^2 in the extra dimensions. We also show that three generations can be obtained by squashing one of the S^2's that appear in the configuration. Chiral fermions appear at the intersections of the fuzzy manifolds with nontrivial Yukawa couplings to the Higgs field, which can be calculated from the overlap of their wave functions.

 Description. Frons (Fig. 10) in front of M-line pale brown to brown, lappets brown, M-line light. Central frons ochraceous. Genae and parietalia light brown. Antennae and palpi brown. Pronotum (Fig. 10) brown with a broad light median band. Legs brown, femora paler basally. Wing membrane infuscated, veins brown, C and Sc lighter distally. Basal cercal segments pale, distal ones ringed.
 Male. Forewing length, 8.9–9.8mm. Hammer (Fig. 11) a truncate cone, slightly compressed, 0.1mm long. Apical part of penial armature, beyond hooks, long and thin; dorsal keel and ventral vesicle absent (Figs. 12– 14). Hooks almost straight, distal half sculptured. Base of penial armature with slight sulcus.
 Female. Unknown.
 Remarks. This species is similar to both A. flinti Stark & Sivec (1998) and, especially to A. flavicoronata Jewett (1959) by the long penial apex. However, A. guaikuru differs from both species by its darker colour, particularly of the wings. Additionally, it differs from A. flavicoronata by having a straighter distal penis and hooks.
 Etymology. The name honours the Guaykuru Indians that once inhabited this region. These native peoples became expert horsemen after Spaniards brought horses to the region. Noun in apposition.

description: We show that the orientation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects in diamond can be efficiently controlled through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth on a (111)-oriented diamond substrate. More precisely, we demonstrate that spontaneously generated NV defects are oriented with a ~ 97 % probability along the [111] axis, corresponding to the most appealing orientation among the four possible crystallographic axes. Such a nearly perfect preferential orientation is explained by analyzing the diamond growth mechanism on a (111)-oriented substrate and could be extended to other types of defects. This work is a significant step towards the design of optimized diamond samples for quantum information and sensing applications.

description: Zweifellos war der Buddha, dessen persönlicher Name Siddhattha Gautama aus dem Klan der Sakyas lautete, eine historische Persönlichkeit. Geboren wurde er der einheitlichen Überlieferung zufolge in Lumbini (Distrikt Rupandehi, Süd-Nepal). Je größer der zeitliche Abstand zu seiner Lebenszeit (die nur ungefähr mit dem 5.-4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Angegeben werden kann) wurde, desto mythologischer wurde sein Leben ausgeschmückt. Er selbst wurde zu einem Fürstensohn hochstilisiert, obwohl er sich einem wohl relativ alten Lehrtext, dem Pabbajjasutta (dem Bericht über den Auszug in die Hauslosigkeit) nur als Angehöriger der Kriegerkaste, der Kshatriyas, bezeichnet.

description: Extreme heat events are associated with spikes in mortality, yet death rates are on average highest during the coldest months of the year. Under the assumption that most winter excess mortality is due to cold temperature, many previous studies have concluded that winter mortality will substantially decline in a warming climate. We analyzed whether and to what extent cold temperatures are associated with excess winter mortality across multiple cities and over multiple years within individual cities, using daily temperature and mortality data from 36 US cities (1985–2006) and 3 French cities (1971–2007). Comparing across cities, we found that excess winter mortality did not depend on seasonal temperature range, and was no lower in warmer vs. colder cities, suggesting that temperature is not a key driver of winter excess mortality. Using regression models within monthly strata, we found that variability in daily mortality within cities was not strongly influenced by winter temperature. Finally we found that inadequate control for seasonality in analyses of the effects of cold temperatures led to spuriously large assumed cold effects, and erroneous attribution of winter mortality to cold temperatures. Our findings suggest that reductions in cold-related mortality under warming climate may be much smaller than some have assumed. This should be of interest to researchers and policy makers concerned with projecting future health effects of climate change and developing relevant adaptation strategies.

Es gibt in der Konkurrenz um den Profit auf den Märkten der Welt und um neue hegemoniale Spielregeln nicht nur neue Verlierer. Manchen alten wird bewusst, dass die Verführungen der Illusionen und Vertröstungen ebenso wie die Mechanismen der Ausbeutung, Diskriminierung, Marginalisierung und Enthumanisierung weiter funktionieren.

description: We adapt the compression algorithm of Weinstein, Auerbach, and Chandra from eigenvectors of spin lattice Hamiltonians to eigenvectors of light-front field-theoretic Hamiltonians. The latter are approximated by the standard discrete light-cone quantization technique, which provides a matrix representation of the Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem. The eigenvectors are represented as singular value decompositions of two-dimensional arrays, indexed by transverse and longitudinal momenta, and compressed by truncation of the decomposition. The Hamiltonian is represented by a rank-four tensor that is decomposed as a sum of contributions factorized into direct products of separate matrices for transverse and longitudinal interactions. The algorithm is applied to a model theory, to illustrate its use.

Conditional correlation in asset return and GARCH intensity model

description: In an asset return series there is a conditional asymmetric dependence between current return and past volatility depending on the current return's sign. To take into account the conditional asymmetry, we introduce new models for asset return dynamics in which frequencies of the up and down movements of asset price have conditionally independent Poisson distributions with stochastic intensities. The intensities are assumed to be stochastic recurrence equations of the GARCH type in order to capture the volatility clustering and the leverage effect. We provide an important linkage between our model and existing GARCH, explain how to apply maximum likelihood estimation to determine the parameters in the intensity model and show empirical results with the S&P 500 index return series.
