description: Objective: To analyse healthcare utilization, loss of productivity, and disease activity in relation to presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). Method: In total, 447 ACPA-positive and 224 ACPA-negative patients from two early rheumatoid arthritis cohorts, recruited 1996–1998 (cohort 1) and 2006–2009 (cohort 2), were followed during 3 years. Data on disease activity were collected, and patients reported healthcare utilization and days lost from work. Disease activity, healthcare costs, and loss of productivity were compared between ACPA groups. Linear regression was performed, controlling for confounders. Results: Healthcare costs did not differ significantly by ACPA status (EUR 3214 for vs EUR 2174 for ACPA-positive vs ACPA-negative patients in cohort 1, ns; EUR 4150 vs EUR 3820 in cohort 2, ns). Corresponding values for loss of productivity were EUR 9148 vs EUR 7916 (ns) and EUR 5857 vs EUR 5995 (ns). Total prescription of traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs was higher in cohort 2 than in cohort 1. Methotrexate prescription was higher in ACPA-positive patients, but biologics did not differ significantly between ACPA groups. Disease activity was significantly more improved in cohort 2, but there was no difference in achieving remission in relation to ACPA status. In cohort 1, 25% of ACPA-positive patients were in remission vs 31% of ACPA-negative (ns) and in cohort 2, 55% vs 60% (ns). Conclusions: With increasing drug treatment for both ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative patients, outcome in ACPA-positive was no more severe than in ACPA-negative patients. Healthcare costs and loss of productivity were similar in the two groups.

description: Using data collected by the fixed target Fermilab experiment FOCUS, we measure the branching ratios of the Cabibbo favored decays $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^+K^-π^+$, $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^+ \bar{K}^{*}(892)^0$, and $Ξ_c^+ \to Λ^0K^-π^+π^+$ relative to $Ξ_c^+ \to Ξ^-π^+π^+$ to be $0.91\pm0.11\pm0.04$, $0.78\pm0.16\pm0.06$, and $0.28\pm0.06\pm0.06$, respectively. We report the first observation of the Cabibbo suppressed decay $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^+K^+K^-$ and we measure the branching ratio relative to $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^+K^-π^+$ to be $0.16\pm0.06\pm0.01$. We also set 90% confidence level upper limits for $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^+ ϕ$ and $Ξ_c^+ \to Ξ^*(1690)^0(Σ^+ K^-) K^+$ relative to $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^+K^-π^+$ to be 0.12 and 0.05, respectively. We find an indication of the decays $Ξ_c^+ \to Ω^-K^{+}π^+$ and $Ξ_c^+ \to Σ^{*}(1385)^+ \bar{K}^0$ and set 90% confidence level upper limits for the branching ratios with respect to $Ξ_c^+ \to Ξ^-π^+π^+$ to be 0.12 and 1.72, respectively. Finally, we determine the 90% C.L. upper limit for the resonant contribution $Ξ_c^+ \to Ξ^{*}(1530)^0 π^+$ relative to $Ξ_c^+ \to Ξ^-π^+π^+$ to be 0.10.

description: Single- and multi-valued solutions of homogeneous Maxwell equations in vacuum are considered, with ''sources'' formed by the (point- or string-like) singularities of the field strengths and, generally, irreducible to any delta-functions' distribution. Maxwell equations themselves are treated as consequences (say, integrability conditions) of a primary ``superpotential'' field subject to some nonlinear and over-determined constraints (related, in particular, to twistor structures). As the result, we obtain (in explicit or implicit algebraic form) a distinguished class of Maxwell fields, with singular sources necessarily carrying a ``self-quantized'' electric charge integer multiple to a minimal ``elementary'' one. Particle-like singular objects are subject to the dynamics consistent with homogeneous Maxwell equations and undergo transmutations -- bifurcations of different types. The presented scheme originates from the ``algebrodynamical'' approach developed by the author and reviewed in the last section. Incidentally, fundamental equivalence relations between the solutions of Maxwell equations, complex self-dual conditions and of Weyl ``neutrino'' equations are established, and the problem of magnetic monopole is briefly discussed.

description: Growing econometric and statistical evidence points to high temperature as the main driver of large negative effects of climate change on US agriculture. This literature also suggests a limited role for precipitation in overall impacts. This paper shows this finding stems from the widespread use of calendar precipitation variables, which poorly represent water availability for rainfed crops. I rely on a state-of-the art dataset with very high spatial (14km) and temporal (1h) resolution to develop a statistical model and unpack the effects of temperature and drought stress and analyze their interactions. Using a 31-year panel of corn yields covering 70% of US production, I account for nonlinear effects of soil moisture with varying effects throughout the growing season, in addition to nonlinear temperature effects. I show that yield is highly sensitive to soil moisture toward the middle of the season around flowering time. Results show that omission of soil moisture leads to overestimation of the detrimental effects of temperature by 30%. Because climate change affects intra-seasonal soil moisture and temperature patterns differently, this omission also leads to very different impacts on US corn yields, with a much greater role for water resources in overall impacts. Under the medium warming scenario (RCP6), models omitting soil moisture overestimate yield impacts by almost 100%. The approach shows a more complete understanding that climate change impacts on agriculture are likely to be driven by both heat and drought stresses, and that their relative role can vary depending on the climate change scenario and farmer ability to adapt.

description: Weyl semimetals (WSM) have been extensively studied due to their exotic properties such as topological surface states and anomalous transport phenomena. Their band structure topology is usually predetermined by material parameters and can hardly be manipulated once the material is formed. Their unique transport properties appear usually at very low temperature, which sets challenges for practical device applications. In this work, we demonstrate a way to modify the band topology via a weak magnetic field in a ferromagnetic topological semimetal, Co2MnAl, at room temperature. We observe a tunable, giant anomalous Hall effect, which is induced by the transition between Weyl points and nodal rings as rotating the magnetization axis. The anomalous Hall conductivity is as large as that of a 3D quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), with the Hall angle reaching a record value (21%) at the room temperature among magnetic conductors. Furthermore, we propose a material recipe to generate the giant anomalous Hall effect by gaping nodal rings without requiring the existence of Weyl points. Our work reveals an ideal intrinsically magnetic platform to explore the interplay between magnetic dynamics and topological physics for the development of a new generation of spintronic devices.

description: We report the results of spectral fits to four bright ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) observed for 41 ksec with XMM-Newton. Although emission regions are not resolved as well as in prior Chandra observations, at least four ULXs (X-11, X-16, X-37, and X-44 in the Zezas and Fabbiano scheme) are sufficiently bright and well-separated with XMM-Newton that reliable extractions and spectral analyses are possible. We find that the single component multi-color disk blackbody models cannot describe any of the spectra. Sources X-11 and X-16 are acceptably fit with simple power-law models. A thermal bremsstrahlung model provides a better fit to the spectrum of X-44. Including a disk blackbody component to the spectrum of X-37 improves the fit and reveals an apparently cool disk (kT = 0.13 +/- 0.02 keV). This would suggest a parallel to cool disks recently found in other very luminous ULXs, which may contain intermediate mass black holes; however, the complex diffuse emission of the Antennae demands this finding be regarded cautiously.

description: We generalize the $K$ matrix formulation to non-trivial non-Abelian families of 2+1D topological orders. Given a topological order $\mathcal C$, any topological order in the same non-Abelian family as $\mathcal C$ can be efficiently described by $\boldsymbol{a}=(a_I)$ where $a_I$ are Abelian anyons in $\mathcal C$, together with a symmetric invertible matrix $K$, $K_{IJ}=k_{IJ}-t_{a_I,a_J}$ where $k_{IJ}$ are integers, $k_{II}$ are even and $t_{a_I,a_J}$ are the mutual statistics between $a_I,a_J$. In particular, when $\mathcal C$ is a root whose rank is the smallest in the family, $K$ becomes an integer matrix. Our results make it possible to generate the data of large numbers of topological orders instantly.

description: We report on observations of ESO156-G029, member of a galaxy group which is positioned at the virial radius of cluster Abell 3193. ESO156-G029 is located ~ 1.4 Mpc in projected distance from the brightest cluster galaxy NGC1500. We show that ESO156-G029 has disturbed gas kinematics and a highly asymmetric neutral hydrogen (HI) distribution, which are consequences of group pre-processing, and possibly of ram-pressure. Based on the current data we propose a scenario in which ESO156-G029 had a minor gas-rich merger in the past and now starts to experience ram-pressure. We infer that the galaxy will undergo rapid evolution once it gets closer to the cluster centre (less than 0.5 Mpc) where ram-pressure is strong enough to begin stripping the HI from the galaxy.

description: Background: UV radiation and its impact on living organisms became an essential concern over the past three decades and will be essential in the years to come. So, the present investigation was devoted to examining the impact of artificial UV-B radiation on the accumulation of amino acids and MDA contents as well as some antioxidant enzymes activities in three freshwater cyanobacterial species; Planktothrix cryptovaginata, Nostoc carneum and Microcystis aeruginosa, one freshwater green alga; Scenedesmus acutus and one marine cyanobacterium; Microcystis. Methods: The algal cultures were exposed directly to artificial UV-B radiation for 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours and amino acids, MDA contents, and the antioxidant enzyme activities; CAT, POD, APX, and SOD were analyzed. Results: The data obtained indicated that alteration in MDA and antioxidant enzymes by UV stress depends on the algal species and the exposure time. The treatment of the investigated algae with different periods of UV-B exposure stimulated the biosynthesis of some individual amino acids and inhibited the accumulation of some others. In some cases, exposure to UV-B was accompanied by the disappearance of some amino acids. In addition, UV-B exposure for 3 hours stimulated the accumulation of total amino acids in M. aeruginosa and S. acutus, while 7 hours of UV-B enhanced the biosynthesis of total amino acids in M. aeruginosa only from the investigated algae. Conclusion: exposure of some cyanobacteria and green algae to UV-B radiation stimulated the biosynthesis of some individual amino acids and inhibited the accumulation or accompanied by the disappearance of some others. However, the alteration in MDA and antioxidant enzymes by UV stress depends on the algal species and the exposure time.

description: We propose to model time-varying periodic and oscillatory processes by means of a hidden Markov model where the states are defined through the spectral properties of a periodic regime. The number of states is unknown along with the relevant periodicities, the role and number of which may vary across states. We address this inference problem by a Bayesian nonparametric hidden Markov model assuming a sticky hierarchical Dirichlet process for the switching dynamics between different states while the periodicities characterizing each state are explored by means of a trans-dimensional Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling step. We develop the full Bayesian inference algorithm and illustrate the use of our proposed methodology for different simulation studies as well as an application related to respiratory research which focuses on the detection of apnea instances in human breathing traces.

description: Weak gravitational lensing by intervening large-scale structure induces a distinct signature in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) that can be used to reconstruct the weak-lensing displacement map. Estimators for individual Fourier modes of this map can be combined to produce an estimator for the lensing-potenial power spectrum. The naive estimator for this quantity will be biased upwards by the uncertainty associated with reconstructing individual modes; we present an iterative scheme for removing this bias. The variance and covariance of the lensing-potenial power spectrum estimator are calculated and evaluated numerically in a $Λ$CDM universe for Planck and future polarization-sensitive CMB experiments.

description: Knowing the number, timing, and weights of cattle placed on feed should be useful in forecasting beef supply. In 1996, the USDA began reporting cattle-on-feed placements in various weight groups. Placement weight data may improve beef supply forecasts because knowledge of placement weight distributions will provide information regarding expected slaughter timings. Currently, monthly USDA placement weight data are not numerically sufficient to derive and test statistical relationships between placement weights and slaughter. However, private data were collected to estimate placement weight data back to 1985. Placement weight data were estimated and used in various models to determine if they improve beef supply forecasts, fed-cattle price forecasts, and economic returns from using this information for selectively hedging. Use of placement weights improved beef supply forecasts only at a one-month horizon; it contributed nothing to price forecast accuracy or returns from selectively hedging. The futures price was the best fed-cattle price forecast among several tested. This suggests a better measure of placement weight data value is it impact on live-cattle futures prices, rather than price forecasting.

description: Objective: SB4, SB2, and SB5 are biosimilars of etanercept (ETN), infliximab (INF), and adalimumab (ADA), respectively. This pooled analysis evaluated the immunogenicity of these treatments across three phase III randomized controlled trials of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Patients had to have at least one anti-drug antibody (ADAb) assessment up to the time of the primary endpoint from each study (week 24 in SB4 and SB5 studies; week 30 in SB2 study). The effect of ADAbs on American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response and the incidences of injection-site reactions (ISRs)/infusion-related reactions (IRRs) were evaluated. Results: The study included 1709 patients. The cumulative incidences of ADAbs were 30.3% in the all-treatments-combined group, 29.1% in the biosimilars combined group, and 31.5% in the reference products combined group. ACR20 response rates were significantly lower in ADAb-positive patients in the all-treatments-combined [odds ratio (95% confidence interval) 1.77 (1.37, 2.27), p Conclusion: In this pooled analysis, ADAbs were associated with reduced efficacy in patients with RA treated with biosimilars (SB4, SB2, and SB5) or their reference products (ETN, INF, and ADA). ADAbs were associated with an increased incidence of ISRs/IRRs in those treated with SB2 + INF. Clinical trial registration numbers: NCT01936181 (SB2 study), NCT01895309 (SB4 study), and NCT02167139 (SB5 study).

description: Phase transitions driven by ultrashort laser pulses have attracted interest both for understanding the fundamental physics of phase transitions and for potential new data storage or device applications. In many cases these transitions involve transient states that are different from those seen in equilibrium. To understand the microscopic properties of these states, it is useful to develop elementally selective probing techniques that operate in the time domain. Here we show fs-time-resolved measurements of V Ledge Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS) from the insulating phase of the Mott- Hubbard material V2O3 after ultrafast laser excitation. The probed orbital excitations within the d-shell of the V ion show a sub-ps time response, which evolve at later times to a state that appears electronically indistinguishable from the high-temperature metallic state. Our results demonstrate the potential for RIXS spectroscopy to study the ultrafast orbital dynamics in strongly correlated materials.

description: We study the evolution of gravitational waves(GWs) after inflation in a brane-world cosmology embedded in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. Contrary to the standard four-dimensional results, the GWs at the high-energy regime in brane-world model suffer from the effects of the non-standard cosmological expansion and the excitation of the Kaluza-Klein modes(KK-modes), which can affect the amplitude of stochastic gravitational wave background significantly. To investigate these two high-energy effects quantitatively, we numerically solve the wave equation of the GWs in the radiation dominated epoch at relatively low-energy scales. We show that the resultant GWs is suppressed by the excitation of the KK modes. The created KK modes are rather soft and escape away from the brane to the bulk gravitational field. The results are also compared to the semi-analytic prediction from the low-energy approximation and the evolved amplitude of GWs on the brane reasonably matches the numerical simulations.

description: We show that the tax system in Chile is insufficient, inefficient and inequitable. Insufficient because it does not yield enough revenues for the state to promote human capital development and to face poverty in a more comprehensive way; inefficient because it is highly unbalanced causing most of the tax burden to be concentrated in very few taxes while neglecting the use of the least distortion-prone tax mechanisms available; inequitable because it forces the middle and low income groups to shoulder most of the tax burden while allowing the super rich to get away paying one of the lowest tax rates among middle income and advanced countries.

description: This is the first randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot trial to investigate the efficacy of pamidronate in reducing radiological and clinical disease activity in chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO). Patients received pamidronate or placebo at baseline and weeks 12 and 24. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging was performed at baseline and weeks 12 and 36, and computed tomography of the anterior chest wall (ACW) at baseline and week 36. Radiological disease activity was systematically scored in the ACW and spine. Patient-reported outcomes [visual analogue scale (VAS) pain, VAS global health, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), and 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)] and biomarkers of bone turnover and inflammation were assessed at baseline and weeks 1, 4, 12, 24, and 36. Data are expressed as median [interquartile range]. Fourteen patients were randomized and 12 were analysed. From baseline to week 36, the radiological disease activity score in the ACW decreased from 5 [4–7] to 2.5 [1–3] in the pamidronate group, but did not change in the placebo group (p = 0.04). From baseline to week 36, VAS pain and VAS global health tended to decrease more in the pamidronate than in the placebo group (p = 0.11, p = 0.08). Physical functioning (HAQ) and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D, SF-36) did not change. Biomarkers of bone turnover decreased only in the pamidronate group (p ≤ 0.02). Pamidronate may improve radiological and clinical disease activity in CNO. Methods to score radiological disease activity in adult CNO were suggested. Clinical Trials: NCT02594878
Finite-difference time-domain simulation of strong-field ionization: Perfectly matched layer approach

description: A Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) scheme with Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs) is considered for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, and simulate the ionization of an electron initially bound to a one-dimensional $δ$-potential, when applying a strong time-oscillating electric field. The performance of PMLs based on different absorption functions are compared, where we find slowly growing functions to be preferable. PMLs are shown to be able to reduce the computational domain, and thus the required numerical resources, by several orders of magnitude. This is demonstrated by testing the proposed method against an FDTD approach without PMLs and a very large computational domain. We further show that PMLs outperform the well known Exterior Complex Scaling (ECS) technique for short-range potentials when implemented in FDTD, though ECS remains superior for long-range potentials. The accuracy of the method is furthermore demonstrated by comparing with known numerical and analytical results for the $δ$-potential.

description: We introduce a new experimental method for solar hadronic axions search. It is suggested that these axions are created in the Sun during M1 transition between the first thermally excited level at 9.4 keV and the ground state in $^{83}Kr$. Our method is based on axion detection via resonant absorption process by the same nucleus in the laboratory. We use proportional gas counter filled with krypton to detect signals for axions. With this setup, target and detector are the same which increases the efficiency of the experiment. At present, an upper limit on hadronic axion mass of 5.5 keV at the 95% confidence level is obtained.

description: Based on the theory of spatial econometrics, we test and process the urban and rural construction land data during the base period of planning and late period of planning in Bijie City. And we conduct comparative analysis of the spatial pattern and evolution characteristics of urban and rural construction land in 41 towns of Bijie City before and after the planning. According to Getis-Ord Gi coefficient test results, the cold spot area of urban and rural construction land in northeast of Bijie City will gradually disappear, and the key point of hot spot area will be gradually transferred from the central region to the central and eastern regions. The results show that under the guidance of the overall land use planning in Bijie City, the urban and rural construction land will show strong spatial autocorrelation; agglomeration benefits and scale merit will appear clearly, in line with the actual situation of current development of Bijie City.
Enormous enhancement of p-orbital magnetism and band gap in the lightly doped carbyne

description: This paper presents a path to tailor adapted magnetic and optical properties in carbyne. Although p-orbital magnetism is generally much weaker than d-orbital magnetism, we demonstrate that the charge fluctuation of the free radical electrons triggered by a time-varying electric dipole moment leads to enormous p-orbital magnetism. By introducing 25% arsenic and 12.5% fluorine into the monoatomic carbon chain, the magnetic moment of the arsenic atom reaches 2.9 Bohr Magneton, which is ~1.3 times stronger than magnetic moment of bulk Fe. This magnetically optimized carbyne composite carries an exchange-correlation energy of 22meV (~270K). On the other hand, we convert the carbyne (in beta-form) from metallic to a semiconducting state by using anionic dopants. After doping 12.5% nitrogen and 12.5% oxygen into the beta-carbyne, the semiconducting gap of this composite is optimized at 1.6eV, which is 1.4 times larger than the band gap of bulk silicon.

description: Based on the understanding of current land ecological environment in Anhui Province, we mainly analyze the relationship between land consolidation planning and ecological environment, and point out the problems concerning ecological environment, such as great soil erosion, serious soil pollution, frequent geological disasters in local areas, and forest vegetation destruction. We divide the key ecological function conservation areas into the following areas: River Source Area, River and Flood Regulation and Storage Area, Key Water Conservation Area, Wind-preventing and Sand-fixing Area, Soil and Water Conservation Area. Finally we put forth the ecological security strategy for promoting land consolidation and ecological environmental protection.
New records of Osmoderma eremita in protected relict forests of Piedmont lowlands (NW Italy) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

description: Hermit beetle, Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763), is a priority species listed in Annexes II and IV of the Habitats Directive, closely linked to mature deciduous trees bearing cavities. As required by articles 11 and 17 of the Directive, in 2021 and 2023 the species was monitored in some lowland wooded areas within the Monviso Park (Piedmont, NW Italy). The monitoring was carried out collecting presence/absence data to inspect population status, phenology and sex ratio, using pheromone baited traps to capture adults during both studies, and searching for exoskeletal remains, larvae and cocoons through the wood mould sampling method in 2021. At the end of the second monitoring period, the presence of the target species was first-time established in all study areas, in addition to other protected saproxylic species records. Planting pollarded trees as well as a forest management attentive to microhabitats are suggested, in order to restore suitable habitat for associated saproxylic beetles and preserve this particularly threatened entomofauna.

New Insights into the Evolution of Judicial Standards in U.S. Merger Cases

Subjects: subject: Acquisitions and mergers

description: This article examines the evolution of judicial standards in U.S. merger cases, challenging the prevailing view that courts have become increasingly lenient over time. Using a novel theoretical framework and empirical analysis of merger challenges from 1982 to 2021, the study finds that judicial standards have, in fact, become more stringent. The results indicate that as courts impose higher evidentiary burdens, merging firms are more likely to accept remedies or abandon litigation, and antitrust agencies have increased their success rates in court. These findings provide systematic evidence of a pro-enforcement shift in merger oversight.
