description: We study the dynamics of an interface (active domain) between different absorbing regions in models with two absorbing states in one dimension; probabilistic cellular automata models and interacting monomer-dimer models. These models exhibit a continuous transition from an active phase into an absorbing phase, which belongs to the directed Ising (DI) universality class. In the active phase, the interface spreads ballistically into the absorbing regions and the interface width diverges linearly in time. Approaching the critical point, the spreading velocity of the interface vanishes algebraically with a DI critical exponent. Introducing a symmetry-breaking field $h$ that prefers one absorbing state over the other drives the interface to move asymmetrically toward the unpreferred absorbing region. In Monte Carlo simulations, we find that the spreading velocity of this driven interface shows a discontinuous jump at criticality. We explain that this unusual behavior is due to a finite relaxation time in the absorbing phase. The crossover behavior from the symmetric case (DI class) to the asymmetric case (directed percolation class) is also studied. We find the scaling dimension of the symmetry-breaking field $y_h = 1.21(5)$.

description: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are often excluded from social participation and can often have strictly controlled social or leisure activities. However, the experiences of people with ID are often understood by proxy, usually from the point of view of their parents and/carers. This can exclude the person’s own perception about their experiences and own preferences for social participation. The process of making informed decisions and exercising personal choice relies upon the ability of the person with ID to accurately express their feelings and perceptions. Overcoming these barriers and finding ways to help people with ID self-report their experiences was the focus of this study. The team worked to examine the feasibility of using a method called Experience Sampling Method (ESM) to better assist people with ID to have their say. ESM uses electronic mobile devices, such as smart phones, to prompt users to respond to survey questions throughout the day, for several days. This means information can be collected in day-to-day settings and include both content and context of someone’s experiences "in the moment". If suitable, this method could assist with better understanding social experiences, as well as many other experiences of people with I.D.

description: The nearby galaxy M33 was observed by the imaging X-ray instruments on-board BeppoSAX. Two observations at different phases of the 105.9 day intensity cycle of the luminous central source X-8 failed to reveal the expected modulation, suggesting that it is probably transitory. Similar behavior has been observed from several X-ray binary sources. This strengthens somewhat the idea that M33 X-8 is a black hole accreting from a binary companion. The 0.2-10 keV spectrum of M33 X-8 can best be modeled by an absorbed power-law with a photon index of 1.89 +0.40 -0.79 and a disk-blackbody with a temperature, kT, of 1.10 +/0 0.05 keV and a projected inner-disk radius of 55.4 +6.0 -7.7 km. This spectral shape is in good agreement with earlier ASCA results. The 2-10 keV spectra of M33 X-4, X-5, X-7, X-9 and X-10 are all consistent with power-law or bremsstrahlung models, whilst that of X-6 appears to be significantly more complex and may be reasonably well modeled with a disk-blackbody with kT = 1.7 +/- 0.2 keV and a projected inner-disk radius of 7 +/- 2 km. The spectrum of M33 X-9 is rather hard with a photon index of 1.3. Compared to earlier Einstein and ROSAT observations, M33 X-7 and X-9 varied in intensity, M33 X-4, X-6, and X-10 may have varied and M33 X-5 remained constant.

description: A magnetic impurity in the spin-1/2 chain is a simple realization of the two-channel Kondo problem since the field theoretical descriptions in the spin-sector are identical. The correlation functions near the impurity can be calculated. Using a modified version of the numerical transfer matrix DMRG, we are able to accurately determine local properties close to the impurity in the thermodynamic limit. The local susceptibilities (Knight-shifts) show an interesting behavior in a large range around the impurities. We are able to make quantitative experimental predictions which would allow to observe two-channel Kondo physics for the first time directly by doping of spin-1/2 chain compounds.

description: Classical homocystinuria (HCU) is an inborn error of sulfur amino acidmetabolism caused by deficientactivity of cystathionine b-synthase (CBS), resulting in an accumulation of homocysteine and a concomitant decreaseof cystathionine and cysteine in blood and tissues. Inmice, the complete lack of CBS is neonatally lethal. Inthis study, newborn CBS-knockout (KO) mice were treated with recombinant polyethyleneglycolylated humantruncatedCBS (PEG-CBS). Full survival of the treatedKOmice, along with a positive impact onmetabolite levels inplasma, liver, brain, and kidneys, was observed. The PEG-CBS treatment prevented an otherwise fatal liver diseasecharacterized by steatosis, death of hepatocytes, and ultrastructural abnormalities of endoplasmic reticulumandmitochondria. Furthermore, treatment of the KOmice for 5mo maintained the plasma metabolite balance andcompletely prevented osteoporosis and changes in body composition that characterize both the KO model andhumanpatients. These findings argue that early treatment of patients withHCUwith PEG-CBSmay prevent clinicalsymptoms of the disease possibly without the need of dietary protein restriction.

description: We numerically examine a two-dimensional system of repulsively interacting particles with dynamics that are governed by both a damping term and a Magnus term. The magnitude of the Magnus term has one value for half of the particles and a different value for the other half of the particles. In the absence of a driving force, the particles form a triangular lattice, while when a driving force is applied, we find that there is a critical drive above which a Magnus-induced disordering transition can occur even if the difference in the Magnus term between the two particle species is as small as one percent. The transition arises due to the different Hall angles of the two species, which causes their motion to decouple at the critical drive. At higher drives, the disordered state can undergo both species and density phase separation into a density modulated stripe that is oriented perpendicular to the driving direction. We observe several additional phases that occur as a function of drive and Magnus force disparity, including a variety of density modulated diagonal laned phases. In general we find a much richer variety of states compared to systems of oppositely driven overdamped Yukawa particles. We discuss the implications of our work for skyrmion systems, where we predict that even for small skyrmion dispersities, a drive-induced disordering transition can occur along with clustering phases and pattern forming states.

description: Objective: Diabetes disproportionately affects low income individuals, many of whom are covered by Medicaid. Comorbidities and complications of diabetes can lead to chronic pain; however, little is known about opioid use patterns among Medicaid enrollees with diabetes. This study examined opioid dispensing among Medicaid enrollees by diabetes status. Methods: Medicaid claims data from 2014 were used to examine opioid dispensing by diabetes status among 622,992 adult enrollees aged 19-64 years. A logistic model adjusting for demographics and comorbidities was used to examine the association between diabetes and opioid dispensing among enrollees. Analyses were completed in 2019. Results: Overall, 61.6% of enrollees with diabetes filled at least one opioid prescription compared to 31.8% of enrollees without diabetes. A higher proportion of enrollees with diabetes had long-term opioid prescriptions (>90 days’ supply) (with diabetes: 51.0% vs. without: 32.1%, p < 0.001). Characteristics of individual prescriptions, including daily morphine milligram equivalents (45.9 vs. 49.4), formulation (percent short-acting: 91.5% vs. 90.7%), and type of opioids (i.e. percent hydrocodone: 46.7 vs. 45.3), were similar for those with and without diabetes. After adjustment, enrollees with diabetes were 1.43 times more likely to receive an opioid prescription compared to those without (OR 1.43, 95% CI =1.40-1.46). Conclusions: Medicaid enrollees with diabetes were prescribed opioids more frequently and were more likely to have longer opioid supply than enrollees without diabetes. For practitioners who care for patients with diabetes, aligning pain management approaches with evidence-based resources, like the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, can encourage safer opioid prescribing practices.

description: The statistics of wide-separation (6'' < theta < 15'') gravitational lenses constrain the amount of mass in the cores of dark matter halos on group and cluster mass scales. For a family of halo models with a central cusp $ρ\propto r^{-alpha}$ (1.0 <= alpha <= 1.9), the lack of wide-separation lenses in the large Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey yields an upper limit on the fraction of the halo mass that is contained within ~4% of the virial radius, f_{core} < 0.023 (95% confidence level, LCDM). This limit offers an important test of the cold dark matter paradigm. While the halo profiles derived from numerical simulations appear to be consistent with this upper limit, larger surveys currently underway such as the 2dF and SDSS should detect wide-separation lenses and thus provide a measurement of the core mass fraction in massive dark matter halos.

The Faddeev calculations are based on the quasi-particle method and the method of the energy dependent pole expansion was used to obtain the separable representation for the integral kernels in the three- and four-body equations. Different types of $\bar{K}N-πΣ$ potentials based on phenomenological and chiral SU(3) approach are used and it was shown that the kaonic nuclear systems under consideration are tightly bound.

description: Homocystinuria due to loss of cystathionine betasynthase(CBS) causes accumulation of homocysteine anddepletion of cysteine. Current treatments are suboptimal, andthus the development of an enzyme replacement therapy based onPEGylated human truncated CBS (PEG-CBS) has been initiated.Attenuation of potency was observed, which necessitated a screen ofseveral PEG-CBS conjugates for their efficacy to correct andmaintain the plasma metabolite profile of murine homocystinuriaafter repeated administrations interrupted with washouts. We foundthat CBS coupling with maleimide PEG inconsistently modified theenzyme. In contrast, the PEG-CBS conjugate with 20 kDa Nhydroxysuccinimide-PEG showed very little loss of potency likelydue to a reproducible PEGylation resulting in species modified with five PEGs per subunit on average. We developed assayssuitable for monitoring the extent of CBS PEGylation and demonstrated a sustainable partial normalization of homocystinuriaupon continuous PEG-CBS administration via osmotic pumps. Taken together, we identified the PEG-CBS conjugate suitable formanufacturing and clinical development.

description: Scoliosis patients are subjected to multiple x-ray investigations during growth. The need for x-rays during regular check-ups when clinical measurements are taken can be reduced (ATR, Surface Topography), however as indications and check-ups still rely on the measurement of the Cobb angle on a full standing x-ray, the exposure of children and adolescents with scoliosis cannot be avoided. Therefore, it would make sense to reduce the exposition of this patient group to radiation drastically. One way to reduce radiation is the reduction of the exposure. The other way is the reduction of the diagnostic field. This study was undertaken to investigate the possibility to use one single 45 x 45 cm detector of a DR system for diagnosing and follow-up of adolescent girls with scoliosis. Materials and Methods: 32 consecutive standing x-rays of girls, aged 10 to 14, made with a single 45 x 45 cm detector of a DR system were analyzed as to whether sufficient information has been provided for diagnosis and follow-up of the patients. Results: Ground plate of Th1 was clearly visible in 31%, ground plate Th2 in 56% and ground plate Th3 in 88% of the rest. Major curvatures (thoracic and lumbar) were fully visible in 100% of those tested. Risser 3 or 4 would have been (or has been) detected in 100% of cases. Conclusion: Adolescent girls with scoliosis can be followed and diagnosed with a drastic reduction of the diagnostic field using a 45 x 45 cm detector of a DR system for direct radiography. A drastic reduction of the exposure to radiation of children and adolescents with scoliosis is easily possible by reducing the diagnostic field (window) and by reducing the exposure time. For proper diagnosis and follow-up, it is rarely necessary to expand the field size to higher than Th3 level.
Rectification of Spin Current in Inversion-Asymmetric Magnets with Linearly-Polarized Electromagnetic Waves

description: We theoretically propose a method of rectifying spin current with a linearly-polarized electromagnetic wave in inversion-asymmetric magnetic insulators. To demonstrate the proposal, we consider quantum spin chains as a simple example; these models are mapped to fermion (spinon) models via Jordan-Wigner transformation. Using a nonlinear response theory, we find that a dc spin current is generated by the linearly-polarized waves. The spin current shows rich anisotropic behavior depending on the direction of the electromagnetic wave. This is a manifestation of the rich interplay between spins and the waves; inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya, Zeeman, and magnetostriction couplings lead to different behaviors of the spin current. The resultant spin current is insensitive to the relaxation time of spinons, a property of which potentially benefits a long-distance propagation of the spin current. An estimate of the required electromagnetic wave is given.

description: Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) plays a key role in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. CBS is a multidomain tetrameric enzyme allosterically activated by S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet). Recent crystallographic analyses of engineered CBS lacking the loop made up of residues 516–525 revealed discrepancies in AdoMet binding compared to previous biophysical studies on a full-length CBS. Here, we show that removal of the loop 516–525 functionally eliminates the high affinity sites responsible for kinetic stabilization of the full-length enzyme and yields a dimeric AdoMet-inducible enzyme, in which kinetic stabilization is now exerted by AdoMet binding to the remaining low affinity sites.

description: The failure probabilities or the strength distributions of heterogeneous 1D systems with continuous local strength distribution and local load sharing have been studied using a simple, exact, recursive method. The fracture behavior depends on the local bond-strength distribution, the system size, and the applied stress, and crossovers occur as system size or stress changes. In the brittle region, systems with continuous disorders have a failure probability of the modified-Gumbel form, similar to that for systems with percolation disorder. The modified-Gumbel form is of special significance in weak-stress situations. This new recursive method has also been generalized to calculate exactly the failure probabilities under various boundary conditions, thereby illustrating the important effect of surfaces in the fracture process.

description: We present the discovery of CO fundamental ro-vibrational emission from the classical T Tauri spectroscopic binary DQ Tau. The high-resolution infrared echelle spectra reveal emission lines from both the v=1 and v=2 vibrational levels with line widths of roughly 70 km/s. The average CO excitation temperature is approximately 1200 K. We model the spectra as arising from gas in Keplerian rotation about the center-of-mass of the binary. The disk model requires gas with an average surface density of 5 x 10-4 g cm-2 that extends outward to 0.5 +/- 0.1 AU and inward to at least 0.1 AU from the center-of-mass. The radial extent for the emitting gas is close to the predicted size of the gap in the DQ Tau accretion disk that is expected to be dynamically cleared by the binary. We interpret these results, and previous modeling of DQ Tau's spectral energy distribution, as evidence for a small amount (~ 1e-10 Msun) of diffuse material residing within the optically-thin disk gap. Thus dynamical clearing has not been completely efficient in the DQ Tau binary. We suggest that the material is associated with a flow from the circumbinary disk which feeds the ongoing accretion at the stellar surfaces.

For instance, in one dimension for the uniform initial velocity distribution we find $β=0.230472...$. We also solve the Boltzmann equation for Maxwell particles and very hard particles in arbitrary spatial dimension. These solvable cases provide bounds for the decay exponents of the hard sphere gas.

description: Threshold regression models are useful for identifying subgroups with heterogeneous parameters. The conventional threshold regression models split the sample based on a single and observed threshold variable, which enforces the threshold point to be equal for all subgroups of the population. In this article, we consider a more flexible single-index threshold model in the quantile regression setup, in which the sample is split based on a linear combination of predictors. We propose a new estimator by smoothing the indicator function in thresholding, which enables Gaussian approximation for statistical inference and allows characterizing the limiting distribution when the quantile process is interested. We further construct a mixed-bootstrap inference method with faster computation and a procedure for testing the constancy of the threshold parameters across quantiles. Finally, we demonstrate the value of the proposed methods via simulation studies, as well as through the application to an executive compensation data.

description: We report the observation of the Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) of Abell 85 by the X-ray satellite BeppoSAX. We have both analysed the spectrum obtained in the central 8 arcmin circular region centred on the Very Steep Spectrum Radio Source (VSSRS) and the spectra from a number of sub-regions. Analysis of the spectra allowed us to independently obtain new estimates of the temperature, metallicity and line-of-sight hydrogen density column, both globally (T=6.6\pm0.3 keV, Z = 0.38\pm0.06 Z_\odot and N_H = 5.5^+0.9_-0.7 10^20 cm^-2) and locally. These measures are in good agreement with previous measures based on ROSAT and ASCA data. In the region of the VSRSS, we have tried to disentangle the thermal from the non-thermal X-ray emission. Although we could not do this unambiguously, we have nonetheless estimated the extended magnetic field using the radio spectrum available for this region. We obtain a lower limit intensity of 0.9 μG, consistent with our previous estimate. We also derive alpha-elements/iron abundance ratios that turn out to be higher than 1. Such a result tends to support the burst model for elliptical galaxies, where a strong galactic wind develops early in the galaxy history and type II supernovae (SN) may have the main role in the enrichment of the ICM. A two-temperature ICM model was fitted in the central region yielding a main component with roughly the mean cluster temperature and a cooler component with temperature less than 0.1 keV.

description: The desire to maximize the sensitivity of read/write heads and thus the information density of magnetic storage devices has produced an intense interest in the magnetoresistance (MR) of magnetic materials. Recent discoveries include "colossal" MR of the manganites1-4 and the enhanced MR of low carrier density ferromagnets4-6. In the low carrier density systems investigated to date as well as the manganites, a key feature is that the electrical conduction is due to a different set of electrons than the localized electrons responsible for the magnetism. Here we propose a mechanism for ferromagnetic MR originating from quantum interference effects, rather than simple scattering. The new mechanism obtains in disordered low carrier density magnets where the magnetism as well as the electrical conduction are due to the same electrons. Here the MR is positive and only weakly temperature dependent below the Curie point. This is very different from the MR seen when conduction electrons and local moments can be treated separately, in which case the MR is negative and strongly peaked at the Curie point.

description: [ABRIDGED] The purpose of this work is to evaluate how several elements produced by different nucleosynthesis processes behave with stellar age and provide empirical relations to derive stellar ages from chemical abundances. We derive different sets of ages using Gaia parallaxes for a sample of more than 1000 FGK dwarf stars for which he have spectra from the HARPS-GTO program. We analyze the temporal evolution of different abundance ratios to find the best chemical clocks. We find that [$α$/Fe] ratio (average of Mg, Si and Ti), [O/Fe] and [Zn/Fe] are good age proxies with a lower dispersion than the age-metallicity dispersion. Several abundance ratios present a significant correlation with age for chemically separated thin disk stars (i.e. low-$α$) but in the case of the chemically defined thick disk stars (i.e. high-$α$) only the elements Mg, Si, Ca and TiII show a clear correlation with age. We find that the thick disk stars are more enriched in light-s elements than thin disk stars of similar age. The maximum enrichment of s-process elements in the thin disk occurs in the youngest stars which in turn have solar metallicity. The slopes of the [X/Fe]-age relations are quite constant for O, Mg, Si, Ti, Zn, Sr and Eu regardless of the metallicity. However, this is not the case for Al, Ca, Cu and most of the s-process elements, which display very different trends depending on the metallicity. This demonstrates the limitations of using simple linear relations based on certain abundance ratios to obtain ages for stars of different metallicities. Finally, we show that by using 3D relations with a chemical clock and two stellar parameters (either Teff, [Fe/H] or stellar mass) we can explain up to 89% of age variance in a star. A similar result is obtained when using 2D relations with a chemical clock and one stellar parameter, being up to a 87% of the variance explained.

description: The inter-shell spacing of multi-walled carbon nanotubes was determined by analyzing the high resolution transmission electron microscopy images of these nanotubes. For the nanotubes that were studied, the inter-shell spacing ${\hat{d}_{002}}$ is found to range from 0.34 to 0.39 nm, increasing with decreasing tube diameter. A model based on the results from real space image analysis is used to explain the variation in inter-shell spacings obtained from reciprocal space periodicity analysis. The increase in inter-shell spacing with decreased nanotube diameter is attributed to the high curvature, resulting in an increased repulsive force, associated with the decreased diameter of the nanotube shells.

description: The ground-state permanent dipole moments (PDMs) and molecular dipole polarizabilities (DPs) of open-shell alkaline-earth monofluorides, and atomic DPs of alkaline-earth- and fluorine atoms are reported at the Kramers-restricted configuration interaction level of theory limited to single- and double excitations (KRCISD), using the finite-field approach. Sufficiently large basis sets such as quadruple-zeta (QZ) and augmented-QZ basis sets together with the generalized active space technique is employed to carry out the field dependent energy calculations at the KRCISD level. The PDMs and the components of DPs are extracted from the linear- and quadratic fit of energies against perturbative electric field, respectively. Accuracy of the present calculations for the electronic properties is examined by comparison with the measurements and calculations where ever available.

description: Chaotic, eddy-like motions dominated by inertial-vortex forces begin immediately at Planck scales in a hot big-bang cosmological model. This quantum-gravitational-dynamics epoch produced not only the first space-time-energy of the universe but the first large Reynolds number turbulence and turbulent mixing with Kolmogorov and Batchelor-Obukhov-Corrsin velocity and temperature gradient spectra. Strong-force-freeze-out and inflation produced the first fossil temperature turbulence by stretching the fluctuations beyond the horizon scale ct of causal connection at light speed c in time t. The spectrum increases toward a maximum at the smallest (fossilized Planck) scales, contrary to either the flat Harrison-Zel'dovich form usually assumed or Tilted forms with maxima at large (fossilized strong-force) scales used to explain observed plasma epoch temperature fluctuations as acoustic. A second transition to turbulence was inhibited by buoyancy forces from the first structures, as indicated by observations that dT/T in the cosmic microwave background radiation is only 10^-5 except at the spectral peak and increases smoothly as wavenumber k^1/6. The peak is therefore due to gravitational structure not sound.

description: An unambiguous crystallographic structure solution for the observed phases II-VI of high pressure hydrogen does not exist due to the failure of standard structural probes at extreme pressure. In this work we propose that nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides a complementary structural probe for high pressure hydrogen. We show that the best structural models available for phases II, III, and IV of high pressure hydrogen exhibit markedly distinct nuclear magnetic resonance spectra which could therefore be used to discriminate amongst them. As an example, we demonstrate how nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy could be used to establish whether phase III exhibits polymorphism. Our calculations also reveal a strong renormalisation of the nuclear magnetic resonance response in hydrogen arising from quantum fluctuations, as well as a strong isotope effect. As the experimental techniques develop, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be expected to become a useful complementary structural probe in high pressure experiments.

description: We investigate chaotic, memory and cooling rate effects in the three dimensional Edwards-Anderson model by doing thermoremanent (TRM) and AC susceptibility numerical experiments and making a detailed comparison with laboratory experiments on spin glasses. In contrast to the experiments, the Edwards-Anderson model does not show any trace of re-initialization processes in temperature change experiments (TRM or AC). A detailed comparison with AC relaxation experiments in the presence of DC magnetic field or coupling distribution perturbations reveals that the absence of chaotic effects in the Edwards-Anderson model is a consequence of the presence of strong cooling rate effects. We discuss possible solutions to this discrepancy, in particular the smallness of the time scales reached in numerical experiments, but we also question the validity of the Edwards-Anderson model to reproduce the experimental results.

description: Spin ensembles of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are emerging as powerful spin-based sensors for magnetic, electric and thermal field imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here we characterize the formation of depth-confined NV center ensembles, activated by electron irradiation in diamond layers grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with nitrogen co-doping. To do so, we exploit the high magnetic sensitivity of ensembles of NV centers to probe their spin environment as a function of growth and irradiation parameters. We engineer an NV ensemble whose magnetic sensitivity is within a factor of two of the static NV-NV dipolar interaction limit, thus demonstrating a powerful platform for quantum sensing.
