description: This work is concerned with the intricate interplay between node or pore pressures and connection or throat conductivities in flow or pore networks. A setting similar to pore networks is given by fracture networks. Recently, a non-local generalization of Darcy's law for flow and transport in porous media was presented in the context of unbounded or periodic pore networks. In this work, we first outline a robust method for the extraction of the hydraulic conductivity distribution, which is at the heart of the non-local Darcy formulation. Second, a theory for mean pressure and flow in bounded networks is outlined. Predictions of that theory are validated against numerical network results and it is demonstrated that the theory works well for networks with high connectivity involving pores with high coordination numbers. For other networks, improvements to the outlined theory are proposed and their accuracy is assessed.
Effect of local Peregrine soliton emergence on statistics of random waves in the 1-D focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger equation

description: The Peregrine soliton is often considered as a prototype of the rogue waves. After recent advances in the semi-classical limit of the 1-D focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation this conjecture can be seen from another perspective. In the present paper, connecting deterministic and statistical approaches, we numerically demonstrate the effect of the universal local appearance of Peregrine solitons on the evolution of statistical properties of random waves. Evidences of this effect are found in recent experimental studies in the contexts of fiber optics and hydrodynamics. The present approach can serve as a powerful tool for the description of the transient dynamics of random waves and provide new insights into the problem of the rogue waves formation.

description: The adiabatic, Holstein-Hubbard model describes electrons on a chain with step $a$ interacting with themselves (with coupling $U$) and with a classical phonon field $\f_x$ (with coupling $ł$). There is Peierls instability if the electronic ground state energy $F(\f)$ as a functional of $\f_x$ has a minimum which corresponds to a periodic function with period ${π\over p_F}$, where $p_F$ is the Fermi momentum. We consider ${p_F\overπa}$ irrational so that the CDW is {\it incommensurate} with the chain. We prove in a rigorous way in the spinless case, when $ł,U$ are small and ${U\overł}$ large, that a)when the electronic interaction is attractive $U<0$ there is no Peierls instability b)when the interaction is repulsive $U>0$ there is Peierls instability in the sense that our convergent expansion for $F(\f)$, truncated at the second order, has a minimum which corresponds to an analytical and ${π\over p_F}$ periodic $\f_x$. Such a minimum is found solving an infinite set of coupled self-consistent equations, one for each of the infinite Fourier modes of $\f_x$.

description: The families index theory for the overlap lattice Dirac operator is applied to derive topological features of the space of SU(N) lattice gauge fields on the 4-torus: The topological sectors, specified by the fermionic topological charge, are shown to contain noncontractible even-dimensional spheres when $N\ge3$, and noncontractible circles in the N=2 case. We describe how certain obstructions to the existence of gauge fixings without the Gribov problem in the continuum setting correspond on the lattice to obstructions to the contractibility of these spheres and circles. We also point out a canonical connection on the space of lattice gauge fields with monopole-like singularities associated with the spheres.

description: Background: Low- and middle-income countries account for most of the global burden of coronary artery disease. There is a paucity of data regarding epidemiology and outcomes for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in these regions. Objectives: The authors studied the contemporary characteristics, practice patterns, outcomes, and sex differences in patients with STEMI in India. Methods: NORIN-STEMI (North India ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Registry) is an investigator-initiated prospective cohort study of patients presenting with STEMI at tertiary medical centers in North India. Results: Of 3,635 participants, 16% were female patients, one-third were <50 years of age, 53% had a history of smoking, 29% hypertension, and 24% diabetes. The median time from symptom onset to coronary angiography was 71 hours; the majority (93%) presented first to a non-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-capable facility. Almost all received aspirin, statin, P2Y12 inhibitors, and heparin on presentation; 66% were treated with PCI (98% femoral access) and 13% received fibrinolytics. The left ventricular ejection fraction was <40% in 46% of patients. The 30-day and 1-year mortality rates were 9% and 11%, respectively. Compared with male patients, female patients were less likely to receive PCI (62% vs 73%; P < 0.0001) and had a more than 2-fold greater 1-year mortality (22% vs 9%; adjusted HR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.7-2.7; P <0.001). Conclusions: In this contemporary registry of patients with STEMI in India, female patients were less likely to receive PCI after STEMI and had a higher 1-year mortality compared with male patients. These findings have important public health implications, and further efforts are required to reduce these gaps.

description: We report the experimental design of a 1D stealth acoustic material, namely a material that suppresses the acoustic scattering for a given set of incident wave vectors. The material consists of multiple scatterers, rigid diaphragms, located in an air-filled acoustic waveguide. The position of the scatterers has been chosen such that in the Born approximation a suppression of the scattering for a broad range of frequencies is achieved and thus a broadband transparency. Experimental results are found in excellent agreement with the theory despite the presence of losses and the finite size of the material, features that are not captured in the theory. This robustness as well as the generality of the results motivates realistic potential applications for the design of transparent materials in acoustics and other fields of wave physics.

description: We propose a renormalization group scaling function which is constructed from q-deformed fermionic versions of Virasoro characters. By comparison with alternative methods, which take their starting point in the massive theories, we demonstrate that these new functions contain qualitatively the same information. We show that these functions allow for RG-flows not only amongst members of a particular series of conformal field theories, but also between different series such as N=0,1,2 supersymmetric conformal field theories. We provide a detailed analysis of how Weyl characters may be utilized in order to solve various recurrence relations emerging at the fixed points of these flows. The q-deformed Virasoro characters allow furthermore for the construction of particle spectra, which involve unstable pseudo-particles.

A Machine Learning Artificial Neural Network Calibration of the Strong-Line Oxygen Abundance
Creators: name: Ho, I-Ting
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The HII region oxygen abundance is a key observable for studying chemical properties of galaxies. Deriving oxygen abundances using optical spectra often relies on empirical strong-line calibrations calibrated to the direct method. Existing calibrations usually adopt linear or polynomial functions to describe the non-linear relationships between strong line ratios and Te oxygen abundances. Here, I explore the possibility of using an artificial neural network model to construct a non-linear strong-line calibration. Using about 950 literature HII region spectra with auroral line detections, I build multi-layer perceptron models under the machine learning framework of training and testing. I show that complex models, like the neural network, are preferred at the current sample size and can better predict oxygen abundance than simple linear models. I demonstrate that the new calibration can reproduce metallicity gradients in nearby galaxies and the mass-metallicity relationship. Finally, I discuss the prospects of developing new neural network calibrations using forthcoming large samples of HII region and also the challenges faced.

description: There has been a growing interest in expressivity of deep neural networks. However, most of the existing work about this topic focuses only on the specific activation function such as ReLU or sigmoid. In this paper, we investigate the approximation ability of deep neural networks with a broad class of activation functions. This class of activation functions includes most of frequently used activation functions. We derive the required depth, width and sparsity of a deep neural network to approximate any Hölder smooth function upto a given approximation error for the large class of activation functions. Based on our approximation error analysis, we derive the minimax optimality of the deep neural network estimators with the general activation functions in both regression and classification problems.

description: The stresses in a closed lipid membrane described by the Helfrich hamiltonian, quadratic in the extrinsic curvature, are identified using Noether's theorem. Three equations describe the conservation of the stress tensor: the normal projection is identified as the shape equation describing equilibrium configurations; the tangential projections are consistency conditions on the stresses which capture the fluid character of such membranes. The corresponding torque tensor is also identified. The use of the stress tensor as a basis for perturbation theory is discussed. The conservation laws are cast in terms of the forces and torques on closed curves. As an application, the first integral of the shape equation for axially symmetric configurations is derived by examining the forces which are balanced along circles of constant latitude.

description: OBJECTIVE Phenotypic heterogeneity among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is ill defined. We used cluster analysis machine-learning algorithms to identify phenotypes among trial participants with T2DM and ASCVD. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used data from the Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin (TECOS) study (n = 14,671), a cardiovascular outcome safety trial comparing sitagliptin with placebo in patients with T2DM and ASCVD (median follow-up 3.0 years). Cluster analysis using 40 baseline variables was conducted, with associations between clusters and the primary composite outcome (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina) assessed by Cox proportional hazards models. We replicated the results using the Exenatide Study of Cardiovascular Event Lowering (EXSCEL) trial. RESULTS Four distinct phenotypes were identified: Cluster I included Caucasian men with a high prevalence of coronary artery disease; cluster II included Asian patients with a low BMI; cluster III included women with noncoronary ASCVD disease; and cluster IV included patients with heart failure and kidney dysfunction. The primary outcome occurred, respectively, in 11.6%, 8.6%, 10.3%, and 16.8% of patients in clusters I to IV. The crude difference in cardiovascular risk for the highest versus lowest risk cluster (cluster IV vs. II) was statistically significant (hazard ratio 2.74 [95% CI 2.29–3.29]). Similar phenotypes and outcomes were identified in EXSCEL. CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2DM and ASCVD, cluster analysis identified four clinically distinct groups. Further cardiovascular phenotyping is warranted to inform patient care and optimize clinical trial designs.

description: In this paper, we present two improved Gauss-Seidel projection methods with unconditional stability. The first method updates the gyromagnetic term and the damping term simultaneously and follows by a projection step. The second method introduces two sets of approximate solutions, where we update the gyromagnetic term and the damping term simultaneously for one set of approximate solutions and apply the projection step to the other set of approximate solutions in an alternating manner. Compared to the original Gauss-Seidel projection method which has to solve heat equations $7$ times at each time step, the improved methods solve heat equations $5$ times and $3$ times, respectively. First-order accuracy in time and second-order accuracy in space are verified by examples in both 1D and 3D. In addition, unconditional stability with respect to both the grid size and the damping parameter is confirmed numerically. Application of both methods to a realistic material is also presented with hysteresis loops and magnetization profiles. Compared with the original method, the recorded running times suggest that savings of both methods are about $2/7$ and $4/7$ for the same accuracy requirement, respectively.

description: A seminal milestone in lattice statistics is the exact solution of the enumeration of dimers on a simple-quartic net obtained by Fisher,Kasteleyn, and Temperley (FKT) in 1961. An outstanding related and yet unsolved problem is the enumeration of dimers on a net with vacant sites. Here we consider this vacant-site problem with a single vacancy occurring at certain specific sites on the boundary of a simple-quartic net. First, using a bijection between dimer and spanning tree configurations due to Temperley, Kenyon, Propp, and Wilson, we establish that the dimer generating function is independent of the location of the vacancy, and deduce a closed-form expression for the generating function. We next carry out finite-size analyses of this solution as well as that of the FKT solution. Our analyses lead to a logarithmic correction term in the large-size expansion for the vacancy problem with free boundary conditions. A concrete example exhibiting this difference is given. We also find the central charge c=-2 in the language of conformal field theory for the vacancy problem, as versus the value c=1 when there is no vacancy.

description: Purpose: This study evaluated whether patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have superior outcomes compared to those with recurrent MBC in a contemporary treatment era and examined factors related to outcome differentials. Methods: Using an institutional database, we examined patient and tumor characteristics, treatment response, and outcome among 232 patients with de novo and 612 patients with recurrent MBC diagnosed between 2011 and 2017. Results: De novo MBC had 9-month (m) longer overall survival (OS) than recurrent MBC (36.4 vs 27.4 m, p < 0.001). Contributions to this difference included nearly twofold more HER2-positive (29.3% vs 15.2%) and significantly fewer triple-negative breast cancers (20.3% vs 32.4%, both p < 0.001) in de novo compared with recurrent MBC cohorts. Stratified by clinical subtype, progression-free survival (PFS) on first-line therapy was significantly longer in de novo MBC in all but the triple-negative subtype, 25.5 vs 11.6 m (p < 0.001) among 390 patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, 11.4 vs 5.4 m (p = 0.002) among 142 patients with HER2-positive, and 4.0 vs 3.0 m (p = 0.121) among 162 with triple-negative MBC. In multivariable analysis, de novo status remained independently associated with improved OS (hazard ratio 0.63, 95% CI 0.49–0.80), regardless of subtype and other features. Conclusion: Patients with de novo MBC have better outcomes than those with recurrent MBC. Differences in clinical subtype and response to therapy in the metastatic setting contribute to, but do not fully explain, this difference. Longer PFS to first-line therapy in de novo MBC suggests biologic differences compared to recurrent MBC, which may be intrinsic or due to acquired resistance from treatment for prior localized breast cancer in recurrent disease.

description: The search for techniques that can achieve better valuation estimates is a global issue, while much research has been done in the advanced countries, only a few researches are known to have been done in the area of adopting the advanced techniques in predicting property prices in Nigeria. The current paper compares the performance of the hedonic pricing model (HPM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) models in predicting the prices of residential properties in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria. Residential property prices and data for the variables affecting property prices were obtained from the databases of 53 firms of practicing Estate Surveyors and Valuers in the study area. A total of 3,079 datasets, encompassing property, neighborhood, and environmental-based features were gathered and employed in the research along with 19 explanatory factors. The entire dataset was split into training and testing at a ratio of 80% and 20% respectively to assess the prediction ability of the ANN and HPM. For both models, the performance evaluation metrics of R-squares, mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root mean square error (RMSE) were computed and then compared. ANN model outperformed HPM model in predicting residential property prices in the Lagos metropolitan residential property market. The outcome of the research provides decision inputs for policymakers, investors in real estate, real estate professionals, and other stakeholders

description: We unravel the underlying near-field mechanism of the enhancement of the magneto-optical activity of bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet films (Bi:YIG) loaded with gold nanoparticles. The experimental results show that the embedded gold nanoparticles lead to a broadband enhancement of the magneto-optical activity with respect to the activity of the bare Bi:YIG films. Full vectorial near- and far-field simulations demonstrate that this broadband enhancement is the result of a magneto-optically enabled cross-talking of orthogonal localized plasmon resonances. Our results pave the way to the on-demand design of the magneto-optical properties of hybrid magneto-plasmonic circuitry.

description: 42. Palmopria S. Endrödy-Younga, 1978
(Fig. 41 a)
 Palmopria S. Endrödy-Younga, 1978: 303, 312.
 Type species. Microporum congolense Grouvelle, 1915: 107–108 (by original designation) [= Palmopria congolensis (Grouvelle, 1915)].
 Generic redescription and diagnosis. Inclusive species vary greatly in size (1.7–4.2 mm length), and share the combination of characters listed by ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA (1978) (Fig. 41 a, from ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA 1978).
 Etymology. The generic name was derived from the combination of the Latin name ‘ palma ’ (= hand palm, and consequently also the frequently hand shaped leaves of most palm species), and Pria, a widespread genus of Meligethinae, which is indicative of the life history of inclusive species, i.e. associated at both larval and imaginal stages with male inflorescences of palms and the overall similarity of the genus to Pria. Gender feminine.
 Biology. Members of Palmopria are strictly associated with male inflorescences of palms (Arecaceae), in particular the widespread oil palm, Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA 1978), which is analogously observed in the related Microporodes from Madagascar.
 Phylogenetic position. Available morphological data provide evidence of a likely sister-group relationship of Palmopria to Microporodes, with Lechanteuria being the likely sister group of this clade (ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA 1978). Weaker relationships could also be postulated with members of Microporum s. l. No molecular data available.
 Taxonomy and geographic distribution. This taxon includes three described species from tropical Africa (ENDRÖDY- YOUNGA 1978).
 Palmopria congolensis (Grouvelle, 1915) tropical Africa
 Palmopria elaeidis S. Endrödy-Younga, 1978 tropical Africa

description: Heavy neutrinos were sought in pion decays $π^+ \rightarrow μ^+ ν$ by examining the observed muon energy spectrum for extra peaks in addition to the expected peak for a massless neutrino. No evidence for heavy neutrinos was observed. Upper limits were set on the neutrino mixing matrix $|U_{μi}|^2$ in the neutrino mass region of 15.7--33.8 MeV/c$^2$, improving on previous results by an order of magnitude.

description: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide since December 2019, causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although vaccines for this virus have been developed rapidly, repurposing drugs approved to treat other diseases remains an invaluable treatment strategy. Here, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of drugs on SARS-CoV-2 replication in a hamster infection model and in in vitro assays. Favipiravir significantly suppressed virus replication in hamster lungs. Remdesivir inhibited virus replication in vitro, but was not effective in the hamster model. However, GS-441524, a metabolite of remdesivir, effectively suppressed virus replication in hamsters. Co-administration of favipiravir and GS-441524 more efficiently reduced virus load in hamster lungs than did single administration of either drug for both the prophylactic and therapeutic regimens; prophylactic co-administration also efficiently inhibited lung inflammation in the infected animals. Furthermore, pretreatment of hamsters with favipiravir and GS-441524 effectively protected them from virus transmission via respiratory droplets upon exposure to infected hamsters. Repurposing and co-administration of antiviral drugs may help combat COVID-19. IMPORTANCE During a pandemic, repurposing drugs that are approved for other diseases is a quick and realistic treatment option. In this study, we found that co-administration of favipiravir and the remdesivir metabolite GS-441524 more effectively blocked SARS-CoV-2 replication in the lungs of Syrian hamsters than either favipiravir or GS-441524 alone as part of a prophylactic or therapeutic regimen. Prophylactic co-administration also reduced the severity of lung inflammation. Moreover, co-administration of these drugs to naive hamsters efficiently protected them from airborne transmission of the virus from infected animals. Since both drugs are nucleotide analogs that interfere with the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases of many RNA viruses, these findings may also help encourage co-administration of antivirals to combat future pandemics.
Songs of the Immortals : the poetry of the Chen-Kao

description: Among the texts "revealed" to the fourth century hierophant Yang Hsi, a considerable quantity were in the form of verse or rhyme-prose. Much of this material was assembled by the scholar, T'ao Hung-ching, who included it in a compendium of the Mao Shan revelations entitled Chen Kao, or The Revelations of the Perfected. In recent years the Chen Kao and the Mao Shan scriptures in general have received considerable attention from scholars outside of China. Most of this attention has been directed towards describing the nature of Mao Shan religion. Little attempt has been made to deal with the literary qualities of the texts. This thesis is intended to remedy this situation to some extent. The central focus of the study is on the poetry contained in the Chen Kao. The aim has been to uncover certain of the motives and manners of the Perfected immortals supposedly responsible for the composition of the poems. In this endeavour literary theory has been eschewed in favour of a more fundamental examination of the content of the poems. It seemed most important at this stage to seek the reasons behind the con-position of the poems and the significance of the themes and imagery selected by the poet or poets. My first chapter describes the special universe to which the poems refer. The Perfected beings ostensibly responsible for the poems did not live in the world known to mortals and their verse often pertains to an environment and life quite foreign to their audience. The next three chapters select the themes of landscape description, music imagery and romantic drama for special attention. The object of these chapters is to describe the origins and expression of certain of the most important themes found in the Chen Kao poetry. The fifth chapter briefly traces the history of "Wandering Immortals" poetry with a view to finding the roots of the style and conventions used 1n the poems of the Perfected. The final chapter deals with certain formal characteristics of the poems and also describes how a variety of thenes of religious significance found poetic expression. Translations of all of the poems found in the Chen Kao are included in the appendix. These translations are accompanied by extensive annotation.

description: Cord blood (CB)-derived natural killer (NK) cells that are genetically engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) are an attractive off-the-shelf therapy for the treatment of cancer, demonstrating a robust safety profile in vivo. For poor prognosis brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), novel therapies are urgently needed. Although CAR-T cells demonstrate efficacy in preclinical GBM models, an off-the-shelf product may exhibit unwanted side effects like graft-versus-host disease. Hence, we developed an off-the-shelf CAR-NK cell approach using a B7H3 CAR and showed that CAR-transduced NK cells have robust cytolytic activity against GBM cells in vitro. However, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β within the tumor microenvironment has devastating effects on the cytolytic activity of both unmodified and CAR-transduced NK cells. To overcome this potent immune suppression, we demonstrated that co-transducing NK cells with a B7H3 CAR and a TGF-β dominant negative receptor (DNR) preserves cytolytic function in the presence of exogenous TGF-β. This study demonstrates that a novel DNR and CAR co-expression strategy may be a promising therapeutic for recalcitrant CNS tumors like GBM.

description: Filters developed in order to detect short bursts of gravitational waves in interferometric detector outputs are compared according to three main points. Conventional Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) are first built for all the considered filters and for three typical burst signals. Optimized ROC are shown for a simple pulse signal in order to estimate the best detection efficiency of the filters in the ideal case, while realistic ones obtained with filters working with several ``templates'' show how detection efficiencies can be degraded in a practical implementation. Secondly, estimations of biases and statistical errors on the reconstruction of the time of arrival of pulse-like signals are then given for each filter. Such results are crucial for future coincidence studies between Gravitational Wave detectors but also with neutrino or optical detectors. As most of the filters require a pre-whitening of the detector noise, the sensitivity to a non perfect noise whitening procedure is finally analysed. For this purpose lines of various frequencies and amplitudes are added to a Gaussian white noise and the outputs of the filters are studied in order to monitor the excess of false alarms induced by the lines. The comparison of the performances of the different filters finally show that they are complementary rather than competitive.
