description: High-frequency transport in the edge states of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect has to date rarely been explored, though it could cast light on the scattering mechanisms taking place therein. We here report on the measurement of the plasmon velocity in topological HgTe quantum wells both in the QSH and quantum Hall (QH) regimes, using harmonic GHz excitations and phase-resolved detection. We observe low plasmon velocities corresponding to large transverse widths, which we ascribe to the prominent influence of charge puddles forming in the vicinity of edge channels. Together with other recent works, it suggests that puddles play an essential role in the edge state physics and probably constitute a main hurdle on the way to clean and robust edge transport.

description: The giant exciton binding energy and the richness of degrees of freedom make monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide an unprecedented playground for exploring exciton physics in 2D systems. Thanks to the well energetically separated excitonic states, the response of the discrete excitonic states to the electric field could be precisely examined. Here we utilize the photocurrent spectroscopy to probe excitonic states under a static in-plane electric field. We demonstrate that the in-plane electric field leads to a significant orbital hybridization of Rydberg excitonic states with different angular momentum (especially orbital hybridization of 2s and 2p) and consequently optically actives 2p-state exciton. Besides, the electric-field controlled mixing of the high lying exciton state and continuum band enhances the oscillator strength of the discrete excited exciton states. This electric field modulation of the excitonic states in monolayer TMDs provides a paradigm of the manipulation of 2D excitons for potential applications of the electro-optical modulation in 2D semiconductors.

description: Direct detection of and LHC search for the singlet fermion dark matter (SFDM) model with Higgs portal interaction are considered in a renormalizable model where the full Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetry is imposed by introducing a singlet scalar messenger. In this model, direct detection is described by an effective operator m_q \bar{q} q \barχ χas usual, but the full amplitude for monojet + \not E_T involves two intermediate scalar propagators, which cannot be seen within the effective field theory (EFT) or in the simplified model without the full SM gauge symmetry. We derive the collider bounds from the ATLAS monojet + \not E_T as well as the CMS t\bar{t} + \not E_T data, finding out that the bounds and the interpretation of the results are completely different from those obtained within the EFT or simplified models. It is pointed out that it is important to respect unitarity, renormalizability and local gauge invariance of the SM.

They argued that the quantity used by Danan et al. is not a suitable which-path witness, and proposed an alternative. It is argued that the quantum and classical analyses of Bartkiewicz et al. are inconsistent and both are inappropriate for describing the past of photons in a properly working interferometer.

description: We report an extensive Monte-Carlo study of the melting of the classical two dimensional Wigner crystal for a system of point particles interacting via the $1/r$-Coulomb potential. A hexatic phase is found in systems large enough. With the multiple histograms method and the finite size scaling theory, we show that the fluid/hexatic phase transition is weakly first order. No set of critical exponents, consistent with a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and the finite size scaling analysis for this transition, have been found.

description: Therapeutics which reduce the pathology in sickle cell syndromes are needed, particularly non-cytotoxic therapeutics. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF, α2γ2) is established as a major regulator of disease severity; increased HbF levels correlate with milder clinical courses and improved survival. Accordingly, sodium dimethylbutyrate (HQK-1001), an orally-bioavailable, promoter-targeted fetal globin gene-inducing agent, was evaluated in a randomized, blinded, dose-ranging Phase I/II trial in 24 adult patients with HbSS or S/β thalassemia, to determine safety and tolerability of three escalating dose levels. The study therapeutic was administered once daily for two 6-week cycles, with a 2-week interim dose holiday. Twenty-one patients completed the study. Five patients received study drug at 10 or 20 mg/kg doses, seven patients received study drug at 30 mg/kg/dose, and 4 patients received placebo. HQK-1001 was well-tolerated with no unexpected drug-related adverse events; a dose-limiting toxicity was not identified. Plasma drug levels were sustained above targeted levels for 24 hours. Increases in HbF above baseline were observed particularly with 30 mg/kg/day doses; in five of seven treated patients, a mean absolute increase in HbF of 0.2 g/dl and a mean increase in total hemoglobin (Hgb) of 0.83 g/dl above baseline were observed, whereas no increases occurred in placebo-treated controls. These findings of favorable PK profiles, tolerability, early rises in HbF and total Hgb indicate that trials of longer duration appear warranted to more definitively evaluate the therapeutic potential of HQK-1001 in sickle cell disease.
Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy of Strongly Correlated Mott Insulators: Signature of the Creation and Annihilation of Double Occupancy

description: We applied the time-resolved attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to systematically investigate ultrafast optical responses of condensed matter systems. Under an intense pump pulse, absorption spectra indicate that the non-interacting electrons of band insulators produce a field-induced redshift, known as the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect, as commonly expected. In contrast to the band insulators, in Mott insulators, unconventional spectra are observed which do not fully reflect the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect. While it still exhibits the fishbone-like structures mimicking the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect, the spectra show a negative difference absorption below the band edge, rendering a blueshift. In addition, the decomposed difference absorption reveals the creation and the annihilation of double occupancy mainly contribute to the negative signal, implying that the unconventional spectra are purely driven by the electron-correlations. These demonstrations of unconventional responses would guide us to the correlation-embedded attosecond electron dynamics in condensed matter systems.

description: Habitat fragmentation is altering species interactions worldwide. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of network specialization to habitat fragmentation remain unknown, especially for multi-trophic interactions. We here collected a large dataset consisting of 2670 observations of tri-trophic interactions among plants, sap-sucking aphids and honeydew-collecting ants on 18 forested islands in the Thousand Island Lake, China. For each island, we constructed an antagonistic plant-aphid and a mutualistic aphid-ant network, and tested how network specialization varied with island area and isolation. We found that both networks exhibited higher specialization on smaller islands, while only aphid-ant networks had increased specialization on more isolated islands. Variations in network specialization among islands was primarily driven by species turnover, which was interlinked across trophic levels as fragmentation increased the specialization of both antagonistic and mutualistic networks through bottom-up effects via plant and aphid communities. These findings reveal that species on small and isolated islands display higher specialization mainly due to effects of fragmentation on species turnover, with behavioural changes causing interaction rewiring playing only a minor role. Our study highlights the significance of adopting a multi-trophic perspective when exploring patterns and processes in structuring ecological networks in fragmented landscapes.

title: The Gambler's Edge - A Theoretical Framework to Trading Securities
Creators: name: Haines, Matthew
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Like gamblers, retail investors seeking excess returns in financial markets are prone to miscalculation and their models are often misspeciffied. Forecasting asset prices is extremely difficult in the long run and nearly infeasible in the short run. Additionally, retail investors are likely to be at a disadvantage both technologically and informationally—rarely will they be ahead of the curve. With these disadvantages and the difficulty of predicting future outcomes, retail investors may come to view prices as unpredictable and random in nature, like a roll of the dice. This theoretical research explores a possible investing methodology (derived from gambling principles) should an investor choose to accept asset prices as random. It displays the possibility that investors can harness the power of compound returns if they possess statistically advantageous strategies, and if they trade as frequently as possible. This research then continues to exhibit investors can reduce their risk while simultaneously increasing their expected returns should they successfully follow this theoretical framework.

3D patterning - An extended toolbox for MEMS
Creators: name: Trieu, Hoc Khiem
Publisher: name: Transactions on Additive Manufacturing Meets Medicine
Year: 2022

description: Microsystems, also known as MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), originated from the Semiconductor Technology which is a typical subtractive planar technology for the fabrication of microelectronic devices and integrated circuits. Extended by specific process modules like surface and bulk micromachining 3D freely moveable structures have been realized. However, achievable patterns are limited to 2D and 2.5D due to the processes in use like photolithography, thin film deposition and deep reactive ion etching. MEMS are well established and indispensable in daily life, with high potential in life sciences. Grey tone lithography has enabled the transfer of 3D patterns from a resist mask into the substrate. MEMS with complex structures as microvalves and micropumps have been implemented by bulk micromachining in combination with wafer bonding techniques. However, real 3D structures with high degree of design freedom as known from additive manufacturing are not yet available in MEMS. 3D patterning with additive manufacturing like photo polymerization, extrusion, powder bed fusion or direct writing and subtractive approaches like selective laser-induced etching are highly versatile manufacturing techniques differing in technology, materials and precision. Other benefits apart from high degree of design freedom are efficiency and customization. However, complexity of 3D printed devices is still limited. Recent trends in multi-material additive manufacturing demonstrate more complex 3D printed parts with interesting applications for printed electronics. Nevertheless, the complexity and integration density of MEMS remain unmet. A hybrid approach for the integration of 3D patterning techniques as an extended toolbox for wafer-level fabrication of 3D MEMS including photonic waveguides is presented here. Compatibility of 3D printing and MEMS is considered with respect to their resolution respectively precision in the micrometer and sub-micrometer range as well as the capability to create intimate contacts between a patterned wafer and the 3D printed structures. Two high-precision 3D patterning techniques, selective laser-induced etching (SLE) and two photon polymerization (2PP), have been studied for 3D MEMS like e.g. a GVDN nozzle (gas dynamic virtual nozzle. Additionally, an ultra-high precision direct printing method for the direct writing of metals and dielectrics on 3D surfaces has been investigated. The application of a strategy using well defined process flows with repetition of process steps from the toolbox, going beyond the single-step manufacturing approach of current 3D printing methods, will enable the fabrication of more complex integrated 3D MEMS.

description: Children with sickle cell anemia have a higher-than-expected prevalence of poor educational attainment. We test two key hypotheses about educational attainment among students with sickle cell anemia, as measured by grade retention and use of special education services: (1) lower household per capita income is associated with lower educational attainment; (2) the presence of a silent cerebral infarct is associated with lower educational attainment. We conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional study of cases from 22 U.S. sites included in the Silent Infarct Transfusion Trial. During screening, parents completed a questionnaire that included sociodemographic information and details of their child’s academic status. Of 835 students, 670 were evaluable; 536 had data on all covariates and were used for analysis. The students’ mean age was 9.4 years (range: 5–15) with 52.2% male; 17.5% of students were retained one grade level and 18.3% received special education services. A multiple variable logistic regression model identified that lower household per capita income (odds ratio [OR] of quartile 1 = 6.36, OR of quartile 2 = 4.7, OR of quartile 3 = 3.87; P = 0.001 for linear trend), age (OR = 1.3; P < 0.001), and male gender (OR, 2.2; P = 0.001) were associated with grade retention; silent cerebral infarct (P = 0.31) and painful episodes (P = 0.60) were not. Among students with sickle cell anemia, household per capita income is associated with grade retention, whereas the presence of a silent cerebral infarct is not. Future educational interventions will need to address both the medical and socioeconomic issues that affect students with sickle cell anemia.

description: Introduction: The absence of school zoning and availability of school choice in some countries leads to increasing travel distance to school, reduced active transport and increased motorized transport to school. This study compared sociodemographic characteristics, reasons for school choice and school transport patterns among urban adolescents based on their enrolment in the closest or a non-closest school and living within walkable or non-walkable distance to school. Methods: Adolescents (n = 2869) from all twelve secondary schools in Dunedin, New Zealand completed an online questionnaire about school choice and school transport in 2014–2015 and 2020–2022. Participants were categorized into four groups based on home-to-school distance and school enrolment: enrolled in the closest school within walking distance (≤2.25 km) (‘closest + walkable’; 22.7%) or not (‘closest + non-walkable’; 20.3%), and enrolled in a non-closest school within walking distance (‘non-closest + walkable’; 6.2%) or not (‘non-closest + non-walkable’; 50.1%). Results: Overall, 43% of adolescents initially enrolled in the closest school, and only half of those lived within walking distance to school. Enrolment in a co-educational school, a non-special character school and a lower decile school and choosing a school because of proximity and social connections were more common among those who enrolled in the closest versus a non-closest school (all p < 0.05). Rates of active transport were higher among those living within walkable distance to school, irrespective of enrolment in the closest or a non-closest school (p < 0.001). Conclusions: These findings show that distance to school is more consequential than school choice itself regarding how adolescents travel to school

description: We present practical methods to measure entanglement for quantum simulators that can be realized with trapped ions, cold atoms, and superconducting qubits. Focussing on long- and short-range Ising-type Hamiltonians, we introduce schemes that are applicable under realistic experimental conditions including mixedness due to, e.g., noise or temperature. In particular, we identify a single observable whose expectation value serves as a lower bound to entanglement and which may be obtained by a simple quantum circuit. As such circuits are not (yet) available for every platform, we investigate the performance of routinely measured observables as quantitative entanglement witnesses. Possible applications include experimental studies of entanglement scaling in critical systems and the reliable benchmarking of quantum simulators.

description: Sickle cell disease (SCD) produces many structural and functional abnormalities in the kidney, including glomerular abnormalities. Albuminuria is the most common manifestation of glomerular damage, with a prevalence between 26 and 68% in adult patients. The pathophysiology of albuminuria in SCD is likely multifactorial, with contributions from hyperfiltration, glomerular hypertension, ischemia-reperfusion injury, oxidative stress, decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and endothelial dysfunction. Although its natural history in SCD remains inadequately defined, albuminuria is associated with increased echocardiography-derived tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity, systemic blood pressure, and hypertension, as well as history of stroke, suggesting a shared vasculopathic pathophysiology. While most patients with albuminuria are treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, there are no published long-term data on the efficacy of these agents. With the improved patient survival following kidney transplantation, SCD patients with end-stage renal disease should be considered for this treatment modality. Given the high prevalence of albuminuria and its association with multiple SCD-related clinical complications, additional studies are needed to answer several clinically important questions in a bid to adequately elucidate its pathophysiology, natural history, and treatment.
Bone tissue reconstruction: From cellular self-assembly to 3D (bio)printing
Creators: name: Fuchs, Sabine
Publisher: name: Transactions on Additive Manufacturing Meets Medicine
Year: 2022

description: Successful bone tissue reconstruction needs to take into account multiple aspects ranging from the selection of biocompatible implant materials to complex biological mechanisms guiding bone tissue repair. All these factors are also essential for new additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D (bio)printing of bone constructs. So far mainly acellular material based 3D constructs are generated by 3D printing. In this context this presentation will emphasize how 3D printing technologies can profit from the cellular interaction during bone repair and vascularization leading to self-assembly of vascularized bone tissue in 3D bone constructs. In combination with 3D manufacturing technologies such as extrusion based printing and digital light processing technologies, this will enable to generate larger complex bone constructs in the future. First steps are made in bone tissue reconstruction by bioprinting including the development of bioinks and solid bone scaffolds. However, complex technological challenges still exist and need to addressed by interdisciplinary approaches in the future.

description: Personalization is quickly becoming an expectation in many industries. Driven by digitization, companies increasingly offer personalized solutions tailored to the user in the form, fit, or function. Within healthcare, personalization is driven by the desire to address unmet clinical needs and the ambition to tackle the healthcare system’s massive challenges. Medical device treatments can leverage technological innovations in 3D printing, artificial intelligence, or mixed reality to accelerate the level of personalization within patient care. Specifically, AI-based data analysis opens the doors to disruption in the medical device field by offering entirely new personalization avenues. Driven by creating cost-effective and sustainable solutions that better answer clinical challenges, targeted investments in infrastructure, software, knowledge, and partnerships are already making mass personalization a reality. Materialise has gathered insight from its 30-year history to demonstrate the medical device industry’s progress and opportunity. We determined that five pillars must be addressed in order to realize the benefits of mass personalization in support of the healthcare industry at large: Health Economics & Regulation; Next-Generation 3D Printed Devices, Cost-Effective & Scalable Operations; Predictive Planning, and Personalization at the Point-of-Care.

description: Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization is a significant clinical complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). It can lead to difficulty with cross-matching for future transfusions and may sometimes trigger life-threatening delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. We conducted a retrospective study to explore the association of clinical complications and age of RBC with alloimmunization in patients with SCD followed at a single institution from 2005 to 2012. One hundred and sixty six patients with a total of 488 RBC transfusions were evaluated. Nineteen patients (11%) developed new alloantibodies following blood transfusions during the period of review. The median age of RBC units was 20 days (interquartile range: 14-27 days). RBC antibody formation was significantly associated with the age of RBC units (P = 0.002), with a hazard ratio of 3.5 (95% CI: 1.71-7.11) for a RBC unit that was 7 days old and 9.8 (95% CI: 2.66-35.97) for a unit that was 35 days old, 28 days after the blood transfusion. No association was observed between RBC alloimmunization and acute vaso-occlusive complications. Although increased echocardiography-derived tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRV) was associated with the presence of RBC alloantibodies (P = 0.02), TRV was not significantly associated with alloimmunization when adjusted for patient age and number of transfused RBC units. Our study suggests that RBC antibody formation is significantly associated with older age of RBCs at the time of transfusion. Prospective studies in patients with SCD are required to confirm this finding.
Pushing the limits of metal additive manufacturing

description: Selective Laser Melting is an additive manufacturing technique that allows for producing high quality metal parts by selectively melting metal powder with laser beams. First commercial selective laser melting machines were equipped with a single laser beam source of comparably low power. That resulted in very limited build-up rate and therefore long production time and high production cost even for small parts. In the last years, SLM Solutions has constantly worked on increasing the build-up rate and productivity of the machine systems and has increased the build envelope size, in order to enable customers to build parts faster and at lower cost per part. The latest result of that effort is the NXG XII 600 machine, which includes 12 lasers with 1 kW output power each. This machine is moving the limits of achievable build-up rates and is the fastest SLM® / LPBF machine that is commercially available. Another example where current limitations of metal additive manufacturing can be overcome is multi-material SLM® technology. SLM Solutions works on developing a technology for producing parts out of two different materials at the same time. That way the specific properties of each of the two materials can be combined in one part.

description: Coagulation factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key proteins in procoagulant activation. Higher FVIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) and VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and venous thromboembolism. Beyond associations with ABO blood group, genetic determinants of FVIII and VWF are not well understood, especially in non European-American populations. We performed a genetic association study of FVIII:C and VWF:Ag that assessed 50,000 gene-centric single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 18,556 European Americans (EAs) and 5,047 African Americans (AAs) from five population-based cohorts. Previously unreported associations for FVIII:C were identified in both AAs and EAs with KNG1 (most significantly associated SNP rs710446, Ile581Thr, P=5.10 × 10−7 in EAs and P=3.88 × 10−3 in AAs) and VWF rs7962217 (Gly2705Arg, P=6.30 × 10−9 in EAs and P=2.98 × 10−2 in AAs). Significant associations for FVIII:C were also observed with F8/TMLHE region SNP rs12557310 in EAs (P=8.02 × 10−10), with VWF rs1800380 in AAs (P=5.62 × 10−11), and with MAT1A rs2236568 in AAs (P=1.69 × 10−6). We replicated previously reported associations of FVIII:C and VWF:Ag with the ABO blood group, VWF rs1063856 (Thr789Ala), rs216321 (Ala852Gln), and VWF rs2229446 (Arg2185Gln). Findings from this study expand our understanding of genetic influences for FVIII:C and VWF:Ag in both EAs and AAs.

description: We study the atomic neutral hydrogen (HI) content of $\sim$1600 galaxies up to $z \sim 0.1$ using stacking techniques. The observations were carried out with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in the area of the SDSS South Galactic Cap (SSGC), where we selected a galaxy sample from the SDSS spectroscopic catalog. Multi-wavelength information is provided by SDSS, NVSS, GALEX, and WISE. We use the collected information to study HI trends with color, star-forming, and active galactic nuclei (AGN) properties. Using NUV-r colors, galaxies are divided into blue cloud, green valley and red sequence galaxies. As expected based on previous observations, we detect HI in green valley objects with lower amounts of HI than blue galaxies, while stacking only produces a 3-$σ$ upper limit for red galaxies with M$_{\rm HI}$ $

description: Advanced manufacturing technologies like Additive Manufacturing (AM) are promising a substantial improvement in terms of production costs, part weight and freedom of design. This makes the new technologies highly attractive for all high-performance sectors from aerospace to automotive. As AM has matured into a viable manufacturing option in the recent years, business-plans are becoming more attractive. Now is the time to take a close look at the complete process chain to assess risks and potential obstacles before substantial investments are made. An often-overlooked aspect is the quality control and qualification of parts produced by AM processes. Are internal quality standards fit for the new manufacturing processes? Is the right inspection equipment in place and does the team possess the right qualification? Is the part design suited for an effective inspection? These are questions that must be asked early on and must be addressed professionally – especially in safety-critical environments. A failure to do so could lead to severe complications at a stage where significant amounts of resources have been already invested. This presentation will provide an overview about the quality challenges related to Additive Manufacturing through a set of representative examples. It will highlight key aspects to consider when making design choices. “Design to Manufacture” is well known in the field of AM design, but “Design for Inspection” is equally important. Engineers, managers, and designer will get guidance on available inspection options and quality standards. Advanced manufacturing and especially AM are great technologies with an amazing potential. Addressing quality and qualification related obstacles early on will ensure that your projects will be successful and help to prevent costly failures.

description: Research investigating the knowledge and attitudes of diverse older adults about hospice care and end-of-life issues is needed to expand service utilization. This pilot study explored an urban area’s perceptions and awareness of hospice through local churches. The sample consisted of 148 adults age 43 and older. Although recruitment efforts resulted in a relatively homogenous sample, findings suggest a lack of knowledge about whether hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. Perceptions of the expense of hospice, however, were not associated with knowledge of coverage. Respondents generally agreed that hospice is important and would recommend its services for their family members.

description: We report experimental evidence of strong orientational coupling between the crystal lattice and the vortex lattice in a weakly pinned Co-doped NbSe2 single crystal through direct imaging using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. At low fields, when the magnetic field is applied along the six-fold symmetric c-axis of the NbSe2 crystal, the equilibrium configuration of the vortex lattice is preferentially aligned along the basis vectors of the crystal lattice. The orientational coupling between the vortex lattice and crystal lattice becomes more pronounced as the magnetic field is increased. We show that this coupling enhances the stability of the orientational order of the vortex lattice, which persists even in the disordered state at high fields where dislocations and disclinations have destroyed the topological order.
