description: In order to reduce errors, error correction codes (ECCs) need to be implemented fast. They can correct the errors corresponding to the first few orders in the Taylor expansion of the Hamiltonian of the interaction with the environment. If implemented fast enough, the zeroth order error predominates and the dominant effect is of error prevention by measurement (Zeno Effect) rather than correction. In this ``Zeno Regime'', codes with less redundancy are sufficient for protection. We describe such a simple scheme, which uses two ``noiseless'' qubits to protect a large number, $n$, of information qubits from noise from the environment. The ``noisless qubits'' can be realized by treating them as logical qubits to be encoded by one of the previously introduced encoding schemes.

description: In this paper, we briefly introduce the basic questions in the measurements of solar magnetic fields and the possible error sources due to the approximation of the theory of radiation transfer of spectral lines in the solar atmosphere. We introduce some basic research progress in magnetic field measurement at Huairou Solar Observing Station of National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, especially concerning the non-potentiality in solar active regions, such as the magnetic shear, current and helicity. We also discuss some basic questions for the measurements of the magnetic fields and corresponding challenges for the future studies.

description: Background: Health literacy (HL) is closely associated with leading health indicators such as engaging in healthy behaviours and experiencing a healthy social environment. Parents represent a critical subgroup among the adult population since they are not only responsible for their own health but also for the health of their children. Previous research suggests that parents with low HL are less likely to meet the preventive and health care needs of their children but there are gaps in the available information and there is not any data available yet for the German context. Methods: In preparation of an implementation study, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 28 elementary and secondary schools in Germany. The parent questionnaire was completed by 4217 parents and included the short form of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16). The child questionnaire examined children's health knowledge, behaviours and outcomes. For children between 6 and 10 years, a parent reported on behalf of their children (N = 1518). Students 11 years and older completed a self-administered questionnaire (N = 2776). Bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out. Spearman's Rho correlations assess the relationships between household characteristics, parental HL and the health behaviour and outcomes in children. Results: Among the participating parents, 45.8% showed problematic or inadequate HL. The major determinants of high parental HL were high socio-economic status (SES) (r = .088***, 95% CI [.052, .124]), living in West Germany (r = .064***, 95% CI [.032, .096]) and older parental age (r = .057**, 95% CI [.024, .090]). In the multivariate model, only SES remained significant. High parental HL was associated with positive health behaviours in children including healthier nutrition, regular tooth brushing and more physical activity. The relationships between parental HL and smoking, alcohol, sexual activity among children and children's weight were not significant. Conclusions: The results confirm a relationship between low parental HL, SES and some child health behaviours likely to negatively impact their health and wellbeing including less healthy nutrition and less exercise. Strengthening the health knowledge and competencies of parents may contribute to improved child outcomes particularly in the areas of nutrition, exercise and dental health.

description: Objectives: Responding to the mental health needs of refugees remains a pressing challenge worldwide. We estimated the prevalence of psychological distress in a large refugee population in Germany and assessed its association with host country factors amenable to policy intervention and integration indicators. Design: A cross-sectional and population-based secondary analysis of the 2017 wave of the IAB-BAMF-SOEP refugee survey. Setting: Germany. Participants: 2639 adult refugees who arrived in Germany between 2013 and 2016. Main outcome measures: Psychological distress involving symptoms of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder was measured using the Refugee Health Screener-13. Results: Almost half of the population surveyed (41.2% (95% CI: 37.9% to 44.6%)) was affected by mild, moderate or severe levels of psychological distress. 10.9% (8.4% to 13.5%) of the population screened positive for severe distress indicative of an urgent need for care. Prevalence of distress was particularly high for females (53.0% (47.2% to 58.8%)), older refugees (aged ≥55, 70.4% (58.5% to 82.2%)) and Afghans (61.5% (53.5% to 69.5%)). Individuals under threat of deportation were at a greater risk of distress than protection status holder (risk ratio: 1.55 (95% CI: 1.14 to 2.10)), single males at a greater risk than males with nuclear families living in Germany (1.34 (1.04 to 1.74)) and those in refugee housing facilities at a greater risk than those in private housing (1.21 (1.02 to 1.43)). Distressed males had a lower likelihood of employment (0.67 (0.52 to 0.86)) and reduced participation in integration courses (0.90 (0.81 to 0.99)). A trend of reduced participation in educational programmes was observed in affected females (0.42 (0.17 to 1.01)). Conclusion: The finding that a substantial minority of refugees in Germany exhibits symptoms of distress calls for an expansion of mental health services for this population. Service providers and policy-makers should consider the increased prevalence among female, older and Afghan refugees, as well as among single males, residents in housing facilities and those under threat of deportation. The associations between mental health and integration processes such as labour market, educational programme and integration course participation also warrant consideration.
Magellan Echelle Spectroscopy of TW Hydrae Brown Dwarfs

description: We present high-resolution optical spectroscopy of four candidate members of the nearby TW Hydrae young association including three brown dwarfs (2MASS 1207-3932, 2MASS 1139-3159 and TWA 5B) and one T Tauri multiple star (TWA 5A). Using echelle spectra from the Magellan Baade 6.5-meter telescope, we confirm the pre-main sequence status and cluster membership of the substellar candidates, through the detection of LiI, NaI consistent with low gravity, and radial velocity. Given their late spectral type (~M8) and the youth of the association (age ~10Myr), cluster membership certifies these three objects as very low-mass young brown dwarfs. One of them (2MASS 1207-3932) shows strong emission both in the Hydrogen Balmer series (H_alpha to H_epsilon) and in HeI (4471, 5876, 6678 and 7065 A), compared to other young brown dwarfs of similar spectral type. The H_alpha line is also relatively broad (10% width ~200 km/s) and asymmetric. These characteristics suggest that 2MASS 1207-3932 is a (weak) accretor. While we cannot rule out activity, comparison to a flaring field dwarf implies that such activity would have to be quite anomalous. The verification of accretion would make 2MASS 1207-3932 the oldest actively accreting brown dwarf known to date, suggesting that inner disk lifetimes in substellar objects can be comparable to those in stars, consistent with a similar formation mechanism. Finally, TWA 5A appears to be a variable accretor: observations separated by two days show broad accretion-like H_alpha (10% width \~270 km/s), with significant changes in the H_alpha profile, as well as in the strengths of HeI, Na D and [OI 6300]. TWA 5A is known to be a close triple; thus, our result implies that long-lived disks can exist even in multiple systems.

description: Muography is a well estabilished method to obtain 3D images of large objects (e.g. volcanoes and large buildings) without any additional particle source, taking advantage of the presence of cosmic muons. The underlying principle of muography is the measurement of individual muon tracks and the determination of their absorption or scattering. These processes depend on the material that they have travelled through. The novel method discussed is based on the measurement of the muon tracks and of the corresponding particles those were produced by the muons themselves in the investigated target. As muons pass through matter they interact with matter by ionization, bremsstrahlung, pair production and nuclear interactions. Our experimental setup is designed in a way to measure both the primary muons and the created secondaries (mostly electrons and gammas). The tracks of the muons are determined by a special kind of Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPC) called CCC (Close Cathode Chamber). The secondary particles produced in the target are measured by four plastic scintillators placed around the target. The CCC chambers and the scintillators are used in coincidence in order to gather data about muons those passed through the target. As cross sections of the described processes vary by the density and the atomic number of materials this technique could be used to investigate the material content of the target.

description: Background: Sleepiness at the wheel affects 10% to 15% of drivers and is one major cause of death on highways with one-third of fatal accidents. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders leading to sleepiness at the wheel. The aim of this study was to compare the psychomotor vigilance test reaction time (PVT RT) in OSA patients and controls (morning and afternoon) with the results of a divided attention steering simulator (DASS). A second purpose was to compare these results with the mean sleep latencies in the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) values and a neurocognitive test (test of attentional performance, TAP). Patients and methods: Thirty eight OSA patients and 16 age and sex matched healthy controls were investigated by ESS, PVT, TAP, MSLT, and DASS (response time, failed responses, lane deviation, and off-road-events). Results: With increasing age, the performance in the DASS decreased. There was no correlation between the DASS and the results of the MSLT and ESS. The controls showed a significantly faster DASS response time in the morning compared to OSA patients (median 2.1 versus 3.0; p=0.044) and fewer off-road events (9 versus 37; p=0.042). We found a moderate correlation between the PVT RT and all parameters of the DASS, as well as the TAP "alertness" subtest. Conclusion: The increase of PVT RT as well as the decreased tonic alertness in the TAP in untreated OSA patients correlated with an impairment of simulated driving performance. The PVT and the TAP are both suitable diagnostic tools for measuring impaired driving ability in OSA patients. The MSLT did not correlate with the simulated driving performance. We recommend investigation of a longer version of the PVT in order to increase its sensitivity.

description: For a class of discrete quasi-periodic Schroedinger operators defined by covariant re- presentations of the rotation algebra, a lower bound on phase-averaged transport in terms of the multifractal dimensions of the density of states is proven. This result is established under a Diophantine condition on the incommensuration parameter. The relevant class of operators is distinguished by invariance with respect to symmetry automorphisms of the rotation algebra. It includes the critical Harper (almost-Mathieu) operator. As a by-product, a new solution of the frame problem associated with Weyl-Heisenberg-Gabor lattices of coherent states is given.

description: Cardiac autonomic modulation of heart rate, assessed by heart rate variability (HRV), is commonly used to monitor training status. HRV is usually measured in athletes after awakening in the morning in the supine position. Whether recording during standing reveals additional information compared to supine remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association between short-duration HRV, assessed both in the supine and standing position, and a low-intensity long-duration performance (walking ultramarathon), as well as training experience. Twenty-five competitors in a 100 km walking ultramarathon underwent pre-race supine (12 min) and standing (6 min) HR recordings, whereas performance and subjective training experience were assessed post-race. There were no significant differences in both supine and standing HRV between finishers (n = 14) and non-finishers (n = 11, mean distance 67 km). In finishers, a slower race velocity was significantly correlated with a higher decrease in parasympathetic drive during position change [larger decrease in High Frequency power normalized units (HF nu : r = -0.7, p = 0.01) and higher increase in the detrended fluctuation analysis alpha 1 index (DFA1: r = 0.6, p = 0.04)]. Highly trained athletes accounted for higher HF nu during standing compared to poorly trained competitors (+11.5, p = 0.01). Similarly, greater training volume (total km/week) would predict higher HF nu during standing (r = 0.5, p = 0.01). HRV assessment in both supine and standing position may provide additional information on the dynamic adaptability of cardiac autonomic modulation to physiologic challenges and therefore be more valuable for performance prediction than a simple assessment of supine HRV. Self-reported training experience may reliably associate with parasympathetic drive, therefore indirectly predicting long-term aerobic performance in ultramarathon walking races.

description: The masses and radii of exoplanets are fundamental quantities needed for their characterisation. Studying the different populations of exoplanets is important for understanding the demographics of the different planetary types, which can then be linked to planetary formation and evolution. We present an updated exoplanet catalog based on reliable, robust and as much as possible accurate mass and radius measurements of transiting planets up to 120 $M_{\oplus}$. The resulting mass-radius (M-R) diagram shows two distinct populations, corresponding to rocky and volatile-rich exoplanets which overlap in both mass and radius. The rocky exoplanet population shows a relatively small density variability and ends at mass of $\sim25 M_{\oplus}$, possibly indicating the maximum core mass that can be formed. We use the composition line of pure-water to separate the two populations, and infer two new empirical M-R relations based on this data: $ M = (0.9 \pm 0.06) \ R^{(3.45 \pm 0.12)}$ for the rocky population, and $ M = (1.74 \pm 0.38) \ R^{(1.58 \pm 0.10)}$ for the volatile-rich population. While our results for the two regimes are in agreement with previous studies, the new M-R relations better match the population in the transition-region from rocky to volatile-rich exoplanets, which correspond to a mass range of 5-25 $M_{\oplus}$ and a radius range of 2-3 $R_{\oplus}$.

B \textbf{1}, L9 (1999), and Braunstein and Kimble, \pra\textbf{61}, 042302 (2000)]. In our experiment, a pair of EPR (Einstein-Podolski-Rosen) beams is generated from two independent squeezed vacua. After adding two-quadrature signal to one of the EPR beams, two squeezed beams that contain the signal were recovered. Although our squeezing level is not sufficient to demonstrate the channel capacity gain over the Holevo limit of a single-mode channel without entanglement, our channel is superior to conventional channels such as coherent and squeezing channels. In addition, optical addition and subtraction processes demonstrated are elementary operations of universal quantum information processing on continuous variables.

description: For a Dirac-type operator D with a spectral boundary condition, the associated heat operator trace has an expansion in powers and log-powers of t. Some of the log-coefficients vanish in the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer product case. We here investigate the effect of perturbations of D, by use of a pseudodifferential parameter-dependent calculus for boundary problems. It is shown that the first k log-terms are stable under perturbations of D vanishing to order k at the boundary (and the nonlocal power coefficients behind them are only locally perturbed). For perturbations of D from the APS product case by tangential operators commuting with the tangential part A, all the log-coefficients vanish if the dimension is odd.

description: Let A be a local conformal net of factors on the circle with the split property. We provide a topological construction of soliton representations of the tensor product of n copies of A, that restrict to true representations of subnet inviant under cyclic permutations (cyclic orbifold). We prove a quantum index theorem for our sectors relating the Jones index to a topological degree. Then A is not completely rational iff the the cyclic orbifold has an irreducible representation with infinite index. This implies the following dichotomy: if all irreducible sectors of A have a conjugate sector then either A is completely rational or A has uncountably many different irreducible sectors. Thus A is rational iff A is completely rational. In particular, if the mu-index of A finite then A turns out to be strongly additive. By [KLM], if A is rational then the tensor category of representations of A is automatically modular, namely the braiding symmetry is non-degenerate. In interesting cases, we compute the fusion rules of the topological solitons and show that they determine all twisted sectors of the cyclic orbifold.

description: Single-photon light detection and ranging (LiDAR), offering single-photon sensitivity and picosecond time resolution, has been widely adopted for active imaging applications. Long-range active imaging is a great challenge, because the spatial resolution degrades significantly with the imaging range due to the diffraction limit of the optics, and only weak echo signal photons can return but mixed with a strong background noise. Here we propose and demonstrate a photon-efficient LiDAR approach that can achieve sub-Rayleigh resolution imaging over long ranges. This approach exploits fine sub-pixel scanning and a deconvolution algorithm tailored to this long-range application. Using this approach, we experimentally demonstrated active three-dimensional (3D) single-photon imaging by recognizing different postures of a mannequin model at a stand-off distance of 8.2 km in both daylight and night. The observed spatial (transversal) resolution is about 5.5 cm at 8.2 km, which is about twice of the system's resolution. This also beats the optical system's Rayleigh criterion. The results are valuable for geosciences and target recognition over long ranges.

description: We present the results of a study of weak lensing by galaxies based on 45.5 deg$^2$ of $R_C$ band imaging data from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS). We present the first weak lensing detection of the flattening of galaxy dark matter halos. We use a simple model in which the ellipticity of the halo is $f$ times the observed ellipticity of the lens. We find a best fit value of $f=0.77^{+0.18}_{-0.21}$, suggesting that the dark matter halos are somewhat rounder than the light distribution. The fact that we detect a significant flattening implies that the halos are well aligned with the light distribution. Given the average ellipticity of the lenses, this implies a halo ellipticity of $=0.33^{+0.07}_{-0.09}$, in fair agreement with results from numerical simulations of CDM. This result provides strong support for the existence of dark matter, as an isotropic lensing signal is excluded with 99.5% confidence. We also study the average mass profile around the lenses, using a maximum likelihood analysis. We consider two models for the halo mass profile: a truncated isothermal sphere (TIS) and an NFW profile. We adopt observationally motivated scaling relations between the lens luminosity and the velocity dispersion and the extent of the halo. The best fit NFW model yields a mass $M_{200}=(8.4\pm0.7\pm0.4)\times 10^{11} h^{-1} M_\odot$ and a scale radius $r_s=16.2^{+3.6}_{-2.9} h^{-1}$ kpc. This value for the scale radius is in excellent agreement with predictions from numerical simulations for a halo of this mass.

description: Most of the few patients with homozygous CD70 deficiency described to date suffered from EBV-related malignancies in early childhood. We present a woman with CD70 deficiency diagnosed in adulthood. She presented in childhood with recurrent airway infections due to encapsulated bacteria, herpes zoster and a fulminant EBV infection followed by chronic EBV infection with mild lymphoproliferation and severe gingivitis/periodontal disease with high EBV viral load in saliva and gingival plaques as an adult. Up to the age of 24 years she developed no malignancy despite constant EBV viremia since primary EBV infection 15 years previously. Immunologic evaluation in childhood showed hypogammaglobulinemia with impaired polysaccharide responsiveness. She has been stable on immunoglobulin substitution with no further severe viral infections and no bacterial airway infections in adulthood. Targeted panel sequencing at the age of 20 years revealed a homozygous CD70 missense mutation (ENST00000245903.3:c.2T>C). CD70 deficiency was confirmed by absent CD70 expression of B cells and activated T cell blasts. The patient finished high school, persues an academic career and has rarely sick days at college. The clinical course of our patient may help to counsel parents of CD70-deficient patients with regard to prognosis and therapeutic options including haematopoetic stem cell transplantation.

description: We present an X-ray diffraction study of the normale alkane nonadecane C_{19}H_{40} embedded in nanoporous Vycor glass. The confined molecular crystal accomplishes a close-packed structure by alignment of the rod-like molecules parallel to the pore axis while sacrificing one basic principle known from the bulk state, i.e. the lamellar ordering of the molecules. Despite this disorder, the phase transitions observed in the confined solid mimic the phase behavior of the 3D unconfined crystal, though enriched by the appearance of a true rotator phase known only from longer alkane chains.

Expand Globally, Shrink Locally: Discriminant Multi-label Learning with Missing Labels

description: In multi-label learning, the issue of missing labels brings a major challenge. Many methods attempt to recovery missing labels by exploiting low-rank structure of label matrix. However, these methods just utilize global low-rank label structure, ignore both local low-rank label structures and label discriminant information to some extent, leaving room for further performance improvement. In this paper, we develop a simple yet effective discriminant multi-label learning (DM2L) method for multi-label learning with missing labels. Specifically, we impose the low-rank structures on all the predictions of instances from the same labels (local shrinking of rank), and a maximally separated structure (high-rank structure) on the predictions of instances from different labels (global expanding of rank). In this way, these imposed low-rank structures can help modeling both local and global low-rank label structures, while the imposed high-rank structure can help providing more underlying discriminability. Our subsequent theoretical analysis also supports these intuitions. In addition, we provide a nonlinear extension via using kernel trick to enhance DM2L and establish a concave-convex objective to learn these models. Compared to the other methods, our method involves the fewest assumptions and only one hyper-parameter. Even so, extensive experiments show that our method still outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

description: Tomosvaryella urdaensis Kuznetzov, 1994
Fig. 60
 Diagnosis: Following Kuznetzov (1994), this species can be recognized by the shape of surstyli in dorsal view, broadened and angled at base, pointed at apices (Majnon-Jahromi et al. 2017b: Fig. 19); both surstyli rounded apically, with a distinct posteroventral projection before its apex in lateral view (Kuznetzov, 1994: Figs 302–303). Tomosvaryella urdaensis appears to be closely related to T. gazliensis (Fig. 15A–D). See diagnosis of T. gazliensis for more details.
 Distribution: Iran, Kazakhstan (Skevington 2020) (Fig. 60).

Physics potential of the decays Bs;d -> J/psi eta and Bs -> J/psi phi in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC

description: The CP asymmetry predicted by the Standard Model in the decay modes Bs;d -> J/psi eta and Bs -> J/psi phi is very small, and the observation of a sizeable e ect would be a clear indication of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Contrary to the final state J/psi phi, the former final state is a CP eigenstate, and therefore complex angular distribution analyses are not necessary for the asymmetry measurement. In this paper, the approaches for the study of these two decay channels are presented.

description: Die Entitäten des Pankreaskarzinoms und des Magenkarzinoms sind häufige Tumorentitäten, bei denen die chirurgische Resektion, wenn der Primärtumor respektabel ist, die zentrale Rolle spielt. Die Chirurgie muss dann in ein multimodales Behandlungskonzept eingebunden werden. Trotz der chirurgischen Resektion besteht allerdings in vielen Fällen ein hohes Rezidiv- und Metastasierungsrisiko. Hinzu kommt, dass eine Heilung in der metastasierten Situation praktisch unmöglich ist. Dementsprechend liegt hier ein erheblicher Forschungsbedarf sowohl bei adjuvanten und palliativen Therapieverfahren als auch im besseren Verständnis der Biologie dieser Erkrankungen vor, um weitere potentielle therapeutische Zielstrukturen zu identifizieren und entsprechende Behandlungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Die hier vorliegende kumulative Habilitationsschrift beschäftigt sich mit dem Einfluss des autonomen Nervensystems auf die Initiierung und Progression des Pankreas und Magenkarzinoms. Die Schrift setzt sich aus Arbeiten zusammen, bei denen zum einen die Rolle des autonomen Nervensystems (Sympathikus und Parasympathikus) in der Initiierung und Progression des PDACs und zum anderen die Rolle des N. vagus in der Entwicklung des Magenkarzinoms untersucht wurden. Hierzu wurden aktuellste in vitro Methoden verwendet und teilweise neue GEMMs für in vivo Untersuchungen entwickelt. Im Rahmen der Arbeiten wurden einige dieser GEMMs neu generiert. Aufgeführt werden hier die vier wichtigsten Arbeiten des Autors aus dem Bereich der Tumorneurobiologie.
Isolated magnetar spin-down, soft X-ray emission and RXJ1856.5-3754

description: When an isolated magnetar with magnetic dipole field B ~ 10^15 G moves at high velocity (v > 10^7 cm/s) through the ISM, its transition into propeller effect driven spin-down may occur in less than 10^6 years. We propose that the nearby neutron star RXJ1856.5-3754 is such a magnetar, and has spun down by the propeller effect to a period greater than 10^4 sec within ~5*10^5 years. This magnetar scenario is consistent with observed thermal X-ray emission properties and the absence of detectable spin-modulations of them. Detection of other rapidly moving long period (> 100 sec) magnetars with known ages would strongly constrain the very great variety of predicted propeller-effect torque magnitudes.

description: A random polymer model is a one-dimensional Jacobi matrix randomly composed of two finite building blocks. If the two associated transfer matrices commute, the corresponding energy is called critical. Such critical energies appear in physical models, an example being the widely studied random dimer model. It is proven that the Lyapunov exponent vanishes quadratically at a generic critical energy and that the density of states is positive there. Large deviation estimates around these asymptotics allow to prove optimal lower bounds on quantum transport, showing that it is almost surely overdiffusive even though the models are known to have pure-point spectrum with exponentially localized eigenstates for almost every configuration of the polymers. Furthermore, the level spacing is shown to be regular at the critical energy.
