description: In this work we study the well known contact term, which is the key element in resolving the so-called $U(1)_A$ problem in QCD. We study this term using the dual Holographic Description. We argue that in the dual picture the contact term is saturated by the D2 branes which can be interpreted as the tunnelling events in Minkowski space-time. We quote a number of direct lattice results supporting this identification. We also argue that the contact term receives a Casimir -like correction $\sim (\Lqcd R)^{-1}$ rather than naively expected $\exp(-\Lqcd R)$ when the Minkowski space-time ${\cal R}_{3,1}$ is replaced by a large but finite manifold with a size $R$. Such a behaviour is consistent with other QFT-based computations when power like corrections are due to nontrivial properties of topological sectors of the theory. In holographic description such a behaviour is due to massless Ramond-Ramond (RR) field living in the bulk of multidimensional space when power like corrections is a natural outcome of massless RR field. In many respects the phenomenon is similar to the Aharonov -Casher effect when the "modular electric field" can penetrate into a superconductor where the electric field is exponentially screened. The role of "modular operator" from Aharonov -Casher effect is played by large gauge transformation operator $\cal{T}$ in 4d QCD, resulting the transparency of the system to topologically nontrivial pure gauge configurations. We discuss some profound consequences of our findings. In particular, we speculate that a slow variation of the contact term in expanding universe might be the main source of the observed Dark Energy.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson using diphoton events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9/fb collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. A specific benchmark model is considered where all the fermion couplings to the Higgs boson are set to zero and the bosonic couplings are kept at the Standard Model values (fermiophobic Higgs model). The largest excess with respect to the background-only hypothesis is found at 125.5 GeV, with a local significance of 2.9 standard deviations, which reduces to 1.6 standard deviations when taking into account the look-elsewhere effect. The data exclude the fermiophobic Higgs model in the ranges 110.0 - 118.0 GeV and 119.5 - 121.0 GeV at 95% confidence level.

description: Context The sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in the affected organs. The clinical picture includes non-specific systemic symptoms and organ-specific symptoms, but it is frequently asymptomatic. Although not fully understood, a clear association between sarcoidosis and malignancies has been reported. In neoplastic patient, beside classical sarcoidosis, cases of sarcoid-like reaction have been extensively described, a condition characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in the lymph nodes draining the tumor or, less commonly, in the distant lymph nodes; this is considered a benign non progressive condition, potentially regressive following neoplasm eradication. Case report We report the first case of sarcoidosis/sarcoid-like reaction associated with neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas. Conclusion This clinical case highlights the difficulty and importance of differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy in the management of neoplastic disease, and in view of the evolving clinical picture, if a distinction between sarcoidosis and sarcoid-like reaction is a clinical reality or if they is just represent different stage of the same disease. Therefore, we believe that a follow-up is necessary even in case of sarcoid-like reaction, since no data are reported in the literature on the long-term of this condition once treated the associated tumor.

description: Adjuvant therapy for pancreatic cancer remains controversial. However, both sides of the Atlantic Ocean agree that at least gemcitabine should be the pivotal agent offered to all patients. The role of radiation therapy remains somewhat inconclusive but chemoradiation, whether in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is a standard option often utilized in the USA. This review is an update from the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting held in Chicago, IL, USA. We present the summary of the findings from Abstracts #4020, #4021, #4040 and #4049 and discuss the impact on this group of patients.

Regulation of cerebral and systemic blood flow in humans with high level spinal cord injury: the infleunce of alpha1-agonist midodrine hydrochloride
Creators: name: Phillips, Aaron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: RATIONALE: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition, often resulting in severe autonomic dysfunction. Secondary to autonomic dysfunction, many individuals with SCI have low blood pressure, which likely challenges the brain’s capacity to maintain suitable perfusion. Individuals with SCI suffer from a myriad of conditions that may be associated with dysfunctional regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), including cognitive dysfunction, orthostatic intolerance and stroke risk. Current knowledge regarding CBF regulation in SCI is limited. AIMS: To comprehensively examine cerebrovascular control in those with SCI, including: 1) the CBF response to cognition, 2) the acute CBF response to tilt, 3) the relationship between baroreflex sensitivity and CBF regulation, 4) the role arterial stiffening plays in baroreflex sensitivity, and 5) to examine the influence of increasing blood pressure through oral administration of 10 mg midodrine (alpha1-agonist). The first investigation found that the CBF response to cognition is absent in those with SCI when compared with able-bodied individuals. When restoring blood pressure to normal levels with midodrine, the CBF response to cognition was improved by 70% which was reflected in a 13% improvement in cognitive function. The second investigation showed that midodrine improved orthostatic tolerance 59% in SCI, and mitigated the reduction of CBF during tilt. The CBF response to tilt was well-maintained in SCI. The third investigation assessed the relationship between common carotid artery stiffness and baroreflex sensitivity in those with SCI. Elevated arterial stiffness (+12%) in those with SCI were negatively related to reduced in baroreflex sensitivity (R2 =0.45; p<0.05). Administration of midodrine did not influence baroreflex sensitivity or arterial stiffness. SUMMARY: Studies one and two provide evidence that the CBF response to metabolic stimuli (i.e., cognition) is reduced in SCI, while CBF is effectively maintained in response to alterations in blood pressure. Furthermore, study three shows that reduced baroreflex sensitivity in SCI is closely related to increased arterial stiffness in the SCI population. It is concluded that CBF regulation is altered in those with SCI, and may be related to clinical outcomes such as cognitive decline and orthostatic intolerance.

description: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors and represents the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. The median survival of locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma is ten to thirteen months. In this year’s American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, several studies were presented with novel approaches towards treating locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Wild et al. (Abstract #4055) explored a novel tool of selective delivery of TNF-alpha intratumoral injection. This approach limited the systemic toxicity, and suggested survival benefit in only the subgroup of patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma with stage T1-T3. Two studies were presented which were designed to assess the use of two novel agents, targeting signaling pathways, in addition to gemcitabine. Van Laethem et al. (Abstract #4050) are testing the MEK inhibitor, BAY 86-9766 in combination with gemcitabine. However, treatment related toxicity is still of concern. In the other study, Evans et al. (Abstract #TPS4134) are testing the combination of dasatinib and gemcitabine. This is a placebo-controlled, randomized, double blind phase II study. However, results are not available. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging technology with the comparative efficacy of single fraction radiotherapy (as is used in radiosurgery) vs. fractionated SBRT still unknown. Herman et al. (Abstract #4045) examined the role of fractionated SBRT in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The phase II results showed a median overall survival of 15.9 months, suggesting that SBRT may be an emerging tool in the multi-modality treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

description: We present theoretical studies of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) produced by non-homogeneous fields as resulting from the illumination of plasmonic nanostructures with a short laser pulse. We show that both the inhomogeneity of the local fields and the confinement of the electron movement play an important role in the HHG process and lead to the generation of even harmonics and a significantly increased cutoff, more pronounced for the longer wavelengths cases studied. In order to understand and characterize the new HHG features we employ two different approaches: the numerical solution of the time dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) and the semiclassical approach known as Strong Field Approximation (SFA). Both approaches predict comparable results and show the new features, but using the semiclassical arguments behind the SFA and time-frequency analysis tools, we are able to fully understand the reasons of the cutoff extension.

Measurement of the t-channel single top-quark production cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: We report a measurement of the cross section of single top-quark production in the t-channel using 1.04 fb^-1 of pp collision data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Selected events feature one electron or muon, missing transverse momentum, and two or three jets, exactly one of them identified as originating from a b quark. The cross section is measured by fitting the distribution of a multivariate discriminant constructed with a neural network, yielding sigma(t)= 83 +/- 4 (stat.) +20 -19 (syst) pb which is in good agreement with the prediction of the Standard Model. Using the ratio of the measured to the theoretically predicted cross section and assuming that the top-quark-related CKM matrix elements obey the relation |V(tb)| >> |V(ts)|, |V(td)|, the coupling strength at the W-t-b vertex is determined to be |V(tb)| = 1.13 +0.14 -0.13. If it is assumed that |V(tb)| <= 1 a lower limit of |V(tb)|>0.75 is obtained at the 95% confidence level.

description: We report a study of three-dimensional (3D) localization of ultracold atoms suspended against gravity, and released in a 3D optical disordered potential with short correlation lengths in all directions. We observe density profiles composed of a steady localized part and a diffusive part. Our observations are compatible with the self-consistent theory of Anderson localization, taking into account the specific features of the experiment, and in particular the broad energy distribution of the atoms placed in the disordered potential. The localization we observe cannot be interpreted as trapping of particles with energy below the classical percolation threshold.

description: Despite improvements in the health service and the available treatment means, the outcome of the majority of patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, even in the Western world, is disappointing. This fact necessitates invention and development of clinical and laboratory biomarkers that help us detect early enough those patients who have the worst prognosis, and who may benefit or not from our treatments and individualize thus our management accordingly. In the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, four interesting scientific works on biomarkers in pancreatic cancer were presented. Two of them presented new clinical data such as the correlation of hand and foot skin reaction with the prognosis of patients treated with capecitabine based treatment (Abstract #4023), and the independent association of early presentation of venous thromboembolic events with poor survival (Abstract #4037). The other two significant abstracts focused on new potential predictive laboratory biomarkers, such as the association of the baseline levels of serum albumin to benefit from bevacizumab enriched treatment (Abstract #4039) and the likely correlation of high insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) tissue expression to better prognosis in patients treated with the IGF-1 receptor monoclonal antibody (mAb) MK-0646 (Abstract #4054).

Working Group Goals: The NIH BD2K bioCADDIE Metadata Working Group (WG) 3 is tasked to define a set of metadata specifications that support intended capability of the NIH BD2K Data Discovery Index prototype - as outlined in the bioCADDIE White Paper. This is a joint activity between bioCADDIE and CEDAR, another BD2K centre focused on metadata. This joint Metadata WG3 operates in two phases to produce a ‘core metadata’ (phase 1), designed to be future-proofed for progressive extensions to accommodate ‘domain-specific metadata’ for more specialized data types (phase 2), as needed.

Scope of the Document: This document describes the process, the material reviewed (section 1 and Appendix I) and the use cases (section 2) used to identify an initial set of metadata elements and create a JSON schemata (section 3 and Appendix II); this work will be iteratively reviewed, following a test phase.

Associated Material: This document, its appendixes and the associated code are available from the bioCADDIE Github repository and the bioCADDIE Metadata WG3 webpage; the latter also serves the original working files, the presentations and notes from the WG3 activities. The schemas and models in Appendix I are also listed in the BioSharing Collection for bioCADDIE.

Intended Audience: This document is primarily aimed at the bioCADDIE Core Development Team that will implement and test this model; however this is also informative for other parties such as prospective data sources for the Data Discovery Index and developers of data harvesting and other tools.

Contact: Questions and comments to Susanna-Assunta Sansone (WG3 chair) and WG3 members - adding them directly to the live Google document or sending them to biocaddie[at]ucsd.edu.

description: We present the smoothness of the mid-infrared sky from observations by the Japanese infrared astronomical satellite AKARI. AKARI monitored the north ecliptic pole (NEP) during its cold phase with nine wavebands covering from 2.4 to 24 micron, out of which six mid-infrared bands were used in this study. We applied power spectrum analysis to the images in order to search for the fluctuation of the sky brightness. Observed fluctuation is explained by fluctuation of photon noise, shot noise of faint sources, and Galactic cirrus. The fluctuations at a few arcminutes scales at short mid-infrared wavelengths (7, 9, and 11 micron) are largely caused by the diffuse Galactic light of the interstellar dust cirrus. At long mid-infrared wavelengths (15, 18, and 24 micron), photon noise is the dominant source of fluctuation over the scale from arcseconds to a few arcminutes. The residual fluctuation amplitude at 200 arcseconds after removing these contributions is at most 1.04 +/- 0.23 nW m^-2 sr^-1 or 0.05% of the brightness at 24 micron and at least 0.47 +/- 0.14 nW m^-2 sr^-1 or 0.02% at 18 micron. We conclude that the upper limit of the fluctuation in the zodiacal light towards the NEP is 0.03% of the sky brightness, taking 2σ error into account.

description: Context Porcine pancreatic enzymes (PPE) extracted from glandular stomach has been used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer  patients. Unfortunately, no information is available on the in vitro and in vivo effect on the pancreas and other tissues. Objective We used Syrian Golden hamsters, a unique pancreatic cancer model, to obtain basic information on PPE for its eventual use for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Design PPE was used in different concentrations in vitro and in vivo. The stability of the enzyme in the water solution was investigated. It was given to the hamsters by gavage in concentrations of 1g/kg and 400 mg/kg for short periods and in aqueous solution for 65 days. Plasma enzyme and insulin, the size of islets and the number of the insulin cells per islet were examined. Results The enzyme activity of PPE was maintained in water solution for at least 24 hours. Due to its content of calcium chloride it showed a high toxicity to normal and malignant hamster pancreatic cancer cells and human pancreatic cancer cell lines in vitro. PPE did not alter the plasma pancreatic enzyme levels regardless of the dose, duration and application route. On the contrary, PPE reduced their levels significantly. Remarkably, it also reduced the level of insulin, the size of the islets and the number of insulin cells in the islets significantly. Conclusion The results imply that PPE does not enter the blood circulation but it appears to slow down the function of both the exocrine and endocrine pancreas.

description: We study the influence of spin-orbit interactions on quasiparticle dispersions in two-dimensional electron and heavy-hole liquids in III-V semiconductors. To obtain closed-form analytical results, we restrict ourselves to spin-orbit interactions with isotropic spectrum and work within the screened Hartree-Fock approximation, valid in the high-density limit. For electrons having a linear-in-momentum Rashba (or, equivalently, Dresselhaus) spin-orbit interaction, we show that the screened Hartree-Fock approximation recovers known results based on the random-phase approximation and we extend those results to higher order in the spin-orbit coupling. While the well-studied case of electrons leads only to a weak modification of quasiparticle properties in the presence of the linear-in-momentum spin-orbit interaction, we find two important distinctions for hole systems (with a leading nonlinear-in-momentum spin-orbit interaction). First, the group velocities associated with the two hole-spin branches acquire a significant difference in the presence of spin-orbit interactions, allowing for the creation of spin-polarized wavepackets in zero magnetic field. Second, we find that the interplay of Coulomb and spin-orbit interactions is significantly more important for holes than for electrons and can be probed through the quasiparticle group velocities. These effects should be directly observable in magnetotransport, Raman scattering, and femtosecond-resolved Faraday rotation measurements. Our results are in agreement with a general argument on the velocities, which we formulate for an arbitrary choice of the spin-orbit coupling.

description: Pancreatic cancer is a relatively rare malignancy with a very aggressive natural course, not restrained by the existing current treatments. At the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, the results of few phase I clinical studies on solid tumors and pancreatic cancer were presented. In particular, in the field of immunotherapy, a pilot phase I study tested for first time a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-based vaccine (Abstract #2561) on patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and another one the optimal dose and efficacy of trabedersen, an inhibitor of tissue growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-β2) aiming to enhance antitumor immune responses (Abstract #4034). Other phase I studies explored the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of an oral gemcitabine pro-drug (LY2334737; Abstract #2554), or of the combination of gemcitabine with sirolimus (Abstract #3096) or the combination of gemcitabine with an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) (MEK 1/2; Abstract #4034).

description: Conical intersections between molecular electronic potential surfaces greatly affect various properties of the molecule. Molecular gauge theory is capable of explaining many of these often unexpected phenomena deriving from the physics of the conical intersection. Here we give an example of anomalous dynamics in the paradigm of the Exe Jahn-Teller model, which does not allow a simple explenation in terms of standard molecular gauge theory. By introducing a dual gauge theory, we unwind this surprising behavior by identifying it with an intrinsic spin Hall effect. Thus, this work link knowledge of condensed matter theories with molecular vibrations. Furthermore, via ab initio calculations the findings are as well demonstrated to appear in realistic systems such as the Li3 molecule.

Choosing rights : the puzzle of the rights frame in human immunodeficiency virus activism
Creators: name: Kenyon, Kristi Heather
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: HIV activists are at the vanguard of a critical point of expansion in the use of human rights discourse in advocacy, marking a site of civil society innovation. Drawing frequently and emphatically on rights in place of more traditional frames of development or public health, civil society groups working on HIV provide valuable insight into how and why the language of rights is being adopted in new fora. This dissertation examines why civil society groups conducting advocacy on HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, the region of the world hardest hit by the pandemic, choose to (or choose not to) employ the language of rights in their advocacy. Using a comparative case-study approach, this study examines nine civil society organisations conducting advocacy on HIV. Organisations were selected from countries (Ghana, Uganda, Botswana, South Africa) in the three regions of sub-Saharan Africa (West Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa). Within these countries, civil society groups were identified with variation in regards to their use or non-use of the rights frame. A total of 145 semi-structured interviews were conducted within these organisations, as well as with other organisations in the HIV sector, international organisations, and government officials. Data from interviews was triangulated with information from naturalistic observation, analysis of organisational materials, and laws and press accounts. These case studies highlight the roles and beliefs of individuals, as leaders, advocates and recipients. Organisational adoption of rights is heavily influenced by leadership, and by secretariat-based organisational structures which allow for a high level of interaction with leaders. Within these groups, a strong personal belief in the rights frame is common. The chief motivation for rights use in advocacy within these organisations is rooted in a belief that the rights frame has a profound impact on the identity and behaviour of the group’s constituents. Proponents understand rights as an empowering force enabling their target group to better seek and access health care services and to do so from a position of strength and entitlement. In contrast, in groups with limited or no rights use, need-based claims highlighting vulnerability were dominant.

description: Despite the enormous advances in clinical research in oncology, the prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma remains poor. The therapeutic options in this type of cancer are very limited, with modest results at present. In the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, four interesting trials on the second line treatment of pancreatic cancer were presented. The first study (Abstract #4017) with a phase II design suggested that maintenance therapy with sunitinib, after a complete course of standard first line treatment, was feasible and effective while the second phase I/II study (Abstract #4034) evaluated the role of trabedersen, an agent that inhibits TGF-β2 expression. Finally, the efficacy and toxicity of lapatinib combined with either FOLFOX (Abstract #e14533) or capecitabine (Abstract #e14569) were examined in the second line setting of pancreatic cancer.

description: We give a description of gravitons in terms of an SL(2,C) connection field. The gauge-theoretic Lagrangian for gravitons is simpler than the metric one. Moreover, all components of the connection field have the same sign in front of their kinetic term, unlike what happens in the metric formalism. The gauge-theoretic description is also more economic than the standard one because the Lagrangian only depends on 8 components of the field per spacetime point as compared to 10 in the Einstein-Hilbert case. Particular care is paid to the treatment of the reality conditions that guarantee that one is dealing with a system with a hermitian Hamiltonian. We give general arguments explaining why the connection cannot be taken to be real, and then describe a reality condition that relates the hermitian conjugate of the connection to its (second) derivative. This is quite analogous to the treatment of fermions where one describes them by a second-order in derivatives Klein-Gordon Lagrangian, with an additional first-order reality condition (Dirac equation) imposed. We find many other parallels with fermions, e.g. the fact that the action of parity on the connection is related to the hermitian conjugation. Our main result is the mode decomposition of the connection field, which is to be used in forthcoming works for computations of graviton scattering amplitudes.

description: We study locking of the modulation frequency of a relative periodic orbit in a general $S^1$-equivariant system of ordinary differential equations under an external forcing of modulated wave type. Our main result describes the shape of the locking region in the three-dimensional space of the forcing parameters: intensity, wave frequency, and modulation frequency. The difference of the wave frequencies of the relative periodic orbit and the forcing is assumed to be large and differences of modulation frequencies to be small. The intensity of the forcing is small in the generic case and can be large in the degenerate case, when the first order averaging vanishes. Applications are external electrical and/or optical forcing of selfpulsating states of lasers.

description: We use an extension of the van der Pol oscillator as an example of a system with multiple time scales to study the susceptibility of its trajectory to polynomial perturbations in the dynamics. A striking feature of many nonlinear, multi-parameter models is an apparently inherent insensitivity to large magnitude variations in certain linear combinations of parameters. This phenomenon of "sloppiness" is quantified by calculating the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix of the least-squares cost function which typically span many orders of magnitude. The van der Pol system is no exception: Perturbations in its dynamics show that most directions in parameter space weakly affect the limit cycle, whereas only a few directions are stiff. With this study we show that separating the time scales in the van der Pol system leads to a further separation of eigenvalues. Parameter combinations which perturb the slow manifold are stiffer and those which solely affect the transients in the dynamics are sloppier.

Spin-orbit coupling induced fractionalized Skyrmion excitations in rotating and rapidly quenched spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We investigate the fractionalized Skyrmion excitations induced by spin-orbit coupling in rotating and rapidly quenched spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates. Our results show that the fractionalized Skyrmion excitation depends on the combination of spin-orbit coupling and rotation, and it originates from a dipole structure of spin which is always embedded in three vortices constructed by each condensate component respectively. When spin-orbit coupling is larger than a critical value, the fractionalized Skyrmions encircle the center with one or several circles to form a radial lattice, which occurs even in the strong ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic condensates. We can use both the spin-orbit coupling and the rotation to adjust the radial lattice. The realization and the detection of the fractionalized Skyrmions are compatible with current experimental technology.
