description: Background: Antimicrobial-resistant infections are commonly encountered in US hospitals and result in significant morbidity and mortality. This guidance document provides recommendations for the treatment of infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR-P. aeruginosa). Methods: A panel of 6 infectious diseases specialists with expertise in managing antimicrobial-resistant infections formulated common questions regarding the treatment of ESBL-E, CRE, and DTR-P. aeruginosa infections. Based on review of the published literature and clinical experience, the panel provide recommendations and associated rationale for each recommendation. Because of significant differences in the molecular epidemiology of resistance and the availability of specific anti-infective agents globally, this document focuses on treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections in the United States. Results: Approaches to empiric treatment selection, duration of therapy, and other management considerations are briefly discussed. The majority of guidance focuses on preferred and alternative treatment recommendations for antimicrobial-resistant infections, assuming that the causative organism has been identified and antibiotic susceptibility testing results are known. Treatment recommendations apply to both adults and children. Conclusions: The field of antimicrobial resistance is dynamic and rapidly evolving, and the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections will continue to challenge clinicians. This guidance document is current as of 17 September 2020. Updates to this guidance document will occur periodically as new data emerge. Furthermore, the panel will expand recommendations to include other problematic gram-negative pathogens in future versions. The most current version of the guidance including the date of publication can be found at www.idsociety.org/practice-guideline/amr-guidance/.

Remarks on the renormalization properties of Lorentz and CPT violating quantum electrodynamics

description: In this work, we employ algebraic renormalization technique to show the renormalizability to all orders in perturbation theory of the Lorentz and CPT violating QED. Essentially, we control the breaking terms by using a suitable set of external sources. Thus, with the symmetries restored, a perturbative treatment can be consistently employed. After showing the renormalizability, the external sources attain certain physical values, which allow the recovering of the starting physical action. The main result is that the original QED action presents the three usual independent renormalization parameters. The Lorentz violating sector can be renormalized by nineteen independent parameters. Moreover, vacuum divergences appear with extra independent renormalization. Remarkably, the bosonic odd sector (Chern-Simons-like term) does not renormalize. One-loop computations are also presented and compared with the existing literature.

description: Optical-to-electrical (O-E) conversion in graphene is a central phenomenon for realizing anticipated ultrafast and low-power-consumption information technologies. However, revealing its mechanism and intrinsic time scale require uncharted terahertz (THz) electronics and device architectures. Here, we succeeded in resolving O-E conversion processes in high-quality graphene by on-chip electrical readout of ultrafast photothermoelectric current. By suppressing the RC time constant using a resistive zinc oxide top gate, we constructed a gate-tunable graphene photodetector with a bandwidth of up to 220 GHz. By measuring nonlocal photocurrent dynamics, we found that the photocurrent extraction from the electrode is instantaneous without a measurable carrier transit time across several-micrometer-long graphene, following the Shockley-Ramo theorem. The time for photocurrent generation is exceptionally tunable from immediate to > 4 ps, and its origin is identified as Fermi-level-dependent intraband carrier-carrier scattering. Our results bridge the gap between ultrafast optical science and device engineering, accelerating ultrafast graphene optoelectronic applications.

description: Algeria is going through a health transition displayed by various studies. The national health survey 2005 in Algeria was carried out by INSP (Institut National de Santé Publique) in June 2005 as part of a research project on epidemiological transition and its impact on health in North African countries [TAHINA].
National Health Survey 2005 is organized in several parts and aims at studying the burden of disease and risk factors of NCDs in the general population in Algeria.The study includes a sample of 4818 households randomly selected in 16 wilayas (or Provinces) in Algeria.Objectives: To estimate
• the burden of disease in Algeria• the healthcare consumption• risk factors in adults aged 35 to 70 years
The consequences of the health transition in Algeria are clearly moving towards:
- The gradual substitution of non-communicable diseases to infectious diseases as major causes of death;- The substitution of overweight and obesity issues to deficiencies in the field of nutrition
Looking at the health system organization, this transition raises fundamental questions. Firstly, what health priorities will be included in the national health policy and what reforms to engage in medical practice; secondly the place and role of the individual and how to empower him/her to deal with health problems.

description: We present the idea and proof of principle measurements for an angular-selective active filter for charged particles. The motivation for the setup arises from the need to distinguish background electrons from signal electrons in a spectrometer of MAC-E filter type. While a large fraction of the background electrons exhibit predominantly small angles relative to the magnetic guiding field (corresponding to a low amount of kinetic energy in the motion component transverse to the field lines, in the following referred to as transverse energy) and pass the filter mostly unhindered, signal electrons from an isotropically emitting source interact with the active filter and are detected. The concept is demonstrated using a microchannel plate (MCP) as an active filter element. When correctly aligned with the magnetic field, electrons with a small transverse energy pass the channels of the MCP without interaction while electrons with large transverse energies hit the channel walls and trigger an avalanche of secondary electrons that is subsequently detected. Due to several drawbacks of MCPs for an actual transverse energy filter, an alternative detection technique using microstructured Si-PIN diodes is proposed.

description: We consider observational consequences of the entanglement between our universe and a hypothetical twin anti-universe in the third quantization scheme of the canonical quantum gravity. Based on our previous investigations we select some special form of the interuniversal interaction which allows the entanglement entropy of the pair of universes to diverge at some critical points of their classical evolution. We find that the modification of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum due to the entanglement with our twin anti-universe is enlarged for small modes $k$ and small multipole numbers $l$ with the Planck constraint onto the interaction coupling constant $λ_o\lesssim\mathcal{O}(10^{-56})$. Some other coupling functions which allow more critical points are also briefly commented on in the context of their observational effect on CMB and other observations.

description: Neutrino oscillations provide evidence for the mode entanglement of neutrino mass eigenstates in a given flavour eigenstate. Given this mode entanglement, it is pertinent to consider the relation between the oscillation probabilities and other quantum correlations. In this work, we show that all the well-known quantum correlations, such as the Bell's inequality, are directly related to the neutrino oscillation probabilities. The results of the neutrino oscillation experiments, which measure the neutrino survival probability to be less than unity, imply Bell's inequality violation.

description: Simulations of supersymmetric field theories on the lattice with (spontaneously) broken supersymmetry suffer from a fermion sign problem related to the vanishing of the Witten index. We propose a novel approach which solves this problem in low dimensions by formulating the path integral on the lattice in terms of fermion loops. For N = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics the loop formulation becomes particularly simple and in this paper - the first in a series of three - we discuss in detail the reformulation of this model in terms of fermionic and bosonic bonds for various lattice discretisations including one which is Q-exact.

description: We prepare two dimensional states generated by shallow circuits composed of (1) one layer of two-qubit CZ gate or (2) a few layers of two-qubit random Clifford gate. After measuring all of the bulk qubits, we study the entanglement structure of the remaining qubits on the one dimensional boundary. In the first model, we observe that the competition between the bulk X and Z measurements can lead to an entanglement phase transition between an entangled volume law phase and a disentangled area law phase. We numerically evaluate the critical exponents and generalize this idea to other qudit systems with local Hilbert space dimension larger than 2. In the second model, we observe the entanglement transition by varying the density of the two-qubit gate in each layer. We give an interpretation of this transition in terms of random bond Ising model in a similar shallow circuit composed of random Haar gates.

description: High-level brain function such as memory, classification or reasoning can be realized by means of recurrent networks of simplified model neurons. Analog neuromorphic hardware constitutes a fast and energy efficient substrate for the implementation of such neural computing architectures in technical applications and neuroscientific research. The functional performance of neural networks is often critically dependent on the level of correlations in the neural activity. In finite networks, correlations are typically inevitable due to shared presynaptic input. Recent theoretical studies have shown that inhibitory feedback, abundant in biological neural networks, can actively suppress these shared-input correlations and thereby enable neurons to fire nearly independently. For networks of spiking neurons, the decorrelating effect of inhibitory feedback has so far been explicitly demonstrated only for homogeneous networks of neurons with linear sub-threshold dynamics. Theory, however, suggests that the effect is a general phenomenon, present in any system with sufficient inhibitory feedback, irrespective of the details of the network structure or the neuronal and synaptic properties. Here, we investigate the effect of network heterogeneity on correlations in sparse, random networks of inhibitory neurons with non-linear, conductance-based synapses. Emulations of these networks on the analog neuromorphic hardware system Spikey allow us to test the efficiency of decorrelation by inhibitory feedback in the presence of hardware-specific heterogeneities. The configurability of the hardware substrate enables us to modulate the extent of heterogeneity in a systematic manner. We selectively study the effects of shared input and recurrent connections on correlations in membrane potentials and spike trains. Our results confirm ...

description: We study the symmetries of the spectrum of the Feinberg-Zee Random Hopping Matrix. Chandler-Wilde and Davies proved that the spectrum of the Feinberg-Zee Random Hopping Matrix is invariant under taking square roots, which implied that the unit disk is contained in the spectrum (a result already obtained slightly earlier by Chandler-Wilde, Chonchaiya and Lindner). In a similar approach we show that there is an infinite sequence of symmetries at least in the periodic part of the spectrum (which is conjectured to be dense). Using these symmetries, we can exploit a considerably larger part of the spectrum than the unit disk. As a further consequence we find an infinite sequence of Julia sets contained in the spectrum. These facts may serve as a part of an explanation of the seemingly fractal-like behaviour of the boundary.

InvPT: Inverted Pyramid Multi-task Transformer for Dense Scene Understanding

description: Multi-task dense scene understanding is a thriving research domain that requires simultaneous perception and reasoning on a series of correlated tasks with pixel-wise prediction. Most existing works encounter a severe limitation of modeling in the locality due to heavy utilization of convolution operations, while learning interactions and inference in a global spatial-position and multi-task context is critical for this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end Inverted Pyramid multi-task Transformer (InvPT) to perform simultaneous modeling of spatial positions and multiple tasks in a unified framework. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that explores designing a transformer structure for multi-task dense prediction for scene understanding. Besides, it is widely demonstrated that a higher spatial resolution is remarkably beneficial for dense predictions, while it is very challenging for existing transformers to go deeper with higher resolutions due to huge complexity to large spatial size. InvPT presents an efficient UP-Transformer block to learn multi-task feature interaction at gradually increased resolutions, which also incorporates effective self-attention message passing and multi-scale feature aggregation to produce task-specific prediction at a high resolution. Our method achieves superior multi-task performance on NYUD-v2 and PASCAL-Context datasets respectively, and significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-arts.

description: Rings and asymmetries in protoplanetary disks are considered as signposts of ongoing planet formation. In this work, we conduct three-dimensional radiative transfer simulations to model the intriguing disk around HD 143006 that has three dust rings and a bright arc. A complex geometric configuration, with a misaligned inner disk, is assumed to account for the asymmetric structures. The two-dimensional surface density is constructed by iteratively fitting the ALMA data. We find that the dust temperature displays a notable discontinuity at the boundary of the misalignment. The ring masses range from 0.6 to 16Mearth that are systematically lower than those inferred in the younger HL Tau disk. The arc occupies nearly 20% of the total dust mass. Such a high mass fraction of dust grains concentrated in a local region is consistent with the mechanism of dust trapping into vortices. Assuming a gas-to-dust mass ratio of 30 that is constant throughout the disk, the dense and cold arc is close to the threshold of being gravitationally unstable, with the Toomre parameter Q~1.3. Nevertheless, our estimate of Q relies on the assumption for the unknown gas-to-dust mass ratio. Adopting a lower gas-to-dust mass ratio would increase the inferred Q value. Follow-up high resolution observations of dust and gas lines are needed to clarify the origin of the substructures.

description: We report a theoretical study of a quantum optical model consisting of an array of strongly nonlinear cavities incoherently pumped by an ensemble of population-inverted two-level atoms. Projective methods are used to eliminate the atomic dynamics and write a generalized master equation for the photonic degrees of freedom only, where the frequency-dependence of gain introduces non-Markovian features. In the simplest single cavity configuration, this pumping scheme gives novel optical bistability effects and allows for the selective generation of Fock states with a well-defined photon number. For many cavities in a weakly non-Markovian limit, the non-equilibrium steady state recovers a Grand-Canonical statistical ensemble at a temperature determined by the effective atomic linewidth. For a two-cavity system in the strongly nonlinear regime, signatures of a Mott state with one photon per cavity are found.

description: Sulfonamides are recommended as part of first-line therapy for most Nocardia infections, with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) considered the drug of choice for susceptible isolates. However, in the case of central nervous system, disseminated disease, and other serious Nocardia infections, TMP-SMX should not be used as monotherapy. The preferred treatment for a patient unable to take TMP-SMX because of allergy or intolerance remains uncertain. Prior to the availability of TMP-SMX in 1973, other sulfonamides were mainstays of treatment. We describe a Nocardia infection successfully treated with sulfadiazine in a lung transplant recipient who could not tolerate TMP-SMX. A review of similar cases reported in the literature provides insight into the successful treatment of Nocardia infections with sulfonamide regimens not containing trimethoprim in transplant recipients and other immunocompromised hosts.
Memory-Limited Partially Observable Stochastic Control and its Mean-Field Control Approach

description: Control problems with incomplete information and memory limitation appear in many practical situations. Although partially observable stochastic control (POSC) is a conventional theoretical framework that considers the optimal control problem with incomplete information, it cannot consider memory limitation. Furthermore, POSC cannot be solved in practice except in the special cases. In order to address these issues, we propose an alternative theoretical framework, memory-limited POSC (ML-POSC). ML-POSC directly considers memory limitation as well as incomplete information, and it can be solved in practice by employing the mathematical technique of the mean-field control theory. ML-POSC can generalize the LQG problem to include memory limitation. Because estimation and control are not clearly separated in the LQG problem with memory limitation, the Riccati equation is modified to the partially observable Riccati equation, which improves estimation as well as control. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of ML-POSC to a non-LQG problem by comparing it with the local LQG approximation.

description: Lung transplant recipients (LTR) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may have higher mortality than non-lung solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR), but direct comparisons are limited. Risk factors for mortality specifically in LTR have not been explored. We performed a multicenter cohort study of adult SOTR with COVID-19 to compare mortality by 28 days between hospitalized LTR and non-lung SOTR. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess comorbidity-adjusted mortality among LTR vs. non-lung SOTR and to determine risk factors for death in LTR. Of 1,616 SOTR with COVID-19, 1,081 (66%) were hospitalized including 120/159 (75%) LTR and 961/1457 (66%) non-lung SOTR (p =.02). Mortality was higher among LTR compared to non-lung SOTR (24% vs. 16%, respectively, p =.032), and lung transplant was independently associated with death after adjusting for age and comorbidities (aOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.0–2.6, p =.04). Among LTR, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (aOR 3.3, 95% CI 1.0–11.3, p =.05) was the only independent risk factor for mortality and age >65 years, heart failure and obesity were not independently associated with death. Among SOTR hospitalized for COVID-19, LTR had higher mortality than non-lung SOTR. In LTR, chronic allograft dysfunction was independently associated with mortality.

description: We discuss the discovery potential of light-by-light scattering at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), induced by the Standard Model (SM) and by new exotic charged particles. Our simulation relies on intact proton detection in the planned forward detectors of CMS and ATLAS. The full four-photon amplitudes generated by any electrically charged particles of spins $1/2$ and $1$, including the SM processes involving loops of leptons, quarks and $W$ bosons are implemented in the Forward Physics Monte Carlo generator. Our method provides model-independent bounds on massive charged particles, only parametrized by the spin, mass and "effective charge" $Q_{\rm eff}$ of the new particle. We find that a new charged vector (fermion) with $Q_{\rm eff}=4$ can be discovered up to $m=640~\rm GeV$ ($m=300~\rm GeV$) with an integrated luminosity of $300~\rm fb^{-1}$ at the LHC. We also discuss the sensitivities to neutral particles such as a strongly-interacting heavy dilaton and warped Kaluza-Klein gravitons, whose effects could be discovered for masses in the multi-TeV range.

description: The aim of this paper is twofold: the first is to formulate and validate a multi-scale discrete Boltzmann method (DBM) based on density functional kinetic theory for thermal multiphase flow systems, ranging from continuum to transition flow regime; the second is to present some new insights into the thermo-hydrodynamic non-equilibrium (THNE) effects in the phase separation process. Methodologically, DBM includes three main pillars: (i) the determination of the fewest kinetic moment relations, which are required by the description of significant THNE effects beyond the realm of continuum fluid mechanics, (ii) the construction of appropriate discrete equilibrium distribution function recovering all the desired kinetic moments, (iii) the detection, description, presentation and analysis of THNE based on the moments of the non-equilibrium distribution ($f-f^{(eq)}$). The incorporation of appropriate additional higher-order thermodynamic kinetic moments considerably extends the DBM's capability of handling larger values of the liquid-vapor density ratio, curbing spurious currents, and ensuring mass-momentum-energy conservation. Compared with the DBM with only first-order THNE (Gan et al. Soft Matter 11,5336), the model retrieves kinetic moments beyond the third-order super-Burnett level, and is accurate for weak, moderate, and strong THNE cases even when the local Knudsen number exceeds $1/3$. Physically, the ending point of the linear relation between THNE and the concerned physical parameter provides a distinct criterion to identify whether the system is near or far from equilibrium. Besides, the surface tension refrains the local THNE around the interface, but expands the THNE range and strengthens the THNE intensity away from the interface through interface smoothing and widening.
