description: We estimate the expected event rate of gravitational wave signals from mergers of supermassive black holes that could be resolved by a space-based interferometer, such as the Evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (eLISA), utilising the reference cosmological hydrodynamical simulation from the EAGLE suite. These simulations assume a $Λ$CDM cosmogony with state-of-the-art subgrid models for radiative cooling, star formation, stellar mass loss, and feedback from stars and accreting black holes. They have been shown to reproduce the observed galaxy population with unprecedented fidelity. We combine the merger rates of supermassive black holes in EAGLE with the latest phenomenological waveform models to calculate the gravitational waves signals from the intrinsic parameters of the merging black holes. The EAGLE models predict $\sim2$ detections per year by a gravitational wave detector such as eLISA. We find that these signals are largely dominated by mergers between seed mass black holes merging at redshifts between $z\sim2$ and $z\sim1$. In order to investigate the dependence on the assumed black hole seed mass, we introduce an additional model with a black hole seed mass an order of magnitude smaller than in our reference model. We also consider a variation of the reference model where a prescription for the expected delays in the black hole merger timescale has been included after their host galaxies merge. We find that the merger rate is similar in all models, but that the initial black hole seed mass could be distinguished through their detected gravitational waveforms. Hence, the characteristic gravitational wave signals detected by eLISA will provide profound insight into the origin of supermassive black holes and the initial mass distribution of black hole seeds.

description: Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) is a model giving the average number of galaxies in a dark matter halo, function of its mass and other intrinsic properties, like distance from halo center, luminosity and redshift of its constituting galaxies. It is believed that these parameters could also be related to the galaxy history of formation. We want to investigate more this relation in order to test and better refine this model. To do that, we extract HOD indicators from EUCLID mock catalogs for different luminosity cuts and for redshifts ranges going from 0.1 < z < 3.0. We study and interpret the trends of indicators function of these variations and tried to retrace galaxy formation history following the idea that galaxy evolution is the combination rather than the conflict of the two main proposed ideas nowadays: the older hierarchical mass merger driven paradigm and the recent downsizing star formation driven approach.

description: Fault-tolerant quantum computing will require accurate estimates of the resource overhead, but standard metrics such as gate fidelity and diamond distance have been shown to be poor predictors of logical performance. We present a scalable experimental approach based on Pauli error reconstruction to predict the performance of concatenated codes. Numerical evidence demonstrates that our method significantly outperforms predictions based on standard error metrics for various error models, even with limited data. We illustrate how this method assists in the selection of error correction schemes.

description: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a fundamental data preprocessing tool in the world of machine learning. While PCA is often thought of as a dimensionality reduction method, the purpose of PCA is actually two-fold: dimension reduction and uncorrelated feature learning. Furthermore, the enormity of the dimensions and sample size in the modern day datasets have rendered the centralized PCA solutions unusable. In that vein, this paper reconsiders the problem of PCA when data samples are distributed across nodes in an arbitrarily connected network. While a few solutions for distributed PCA exist, those either overlook the uncorrelated feature learning aspect of the PCA, tend to have high communication overhead that makes them inefficient and/or lack `exact' or `global' convergence guarantees. To overcome these aforementioned issues, this paper proposes a distributed PCA algorithm termed FAST-PCA (Fast and exAct diSTributed PCA). The proposed algorithm is efficient in terms of communication and is proven to converge linearly and exactly to the principal components, leading to dimension reduction as well as uncorrelated features. The claims are further supported by experimental results.

description: Introduction. The American health system urgently needs a comprehensive transformation focused on improving quality of care. The health system has had a successful yet limited application of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), as an organizational process to achieve a continuous flow of improvements to provide quality care for the population. In this quest for CQI, health organizations have effectively used the Lean methodology as a transformative management approach to improve quality of care. Objective. The goal of this paper is to systematically evaluate a Continuous Improvement Lean-based project, as an approach to improve the quality of care in a Hospital setting. Methods. A multi-disciplinary team was assigned to develop and implement a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) project at the Digestive Disease Institute that aimed to improve workflow and patient throughput by using the Lean Methodology. After the analysis of background and current conditions, the problem was defined as follows: Seventy percent of patients with 8:00 am appointments were roomed late. Root causes were determined, and the proposed countermeasures were tested in a three-months pilot project, modeled on a PDCA cycle methodology. Results. After the implementation of the pilot project, the goal of increasing by 50% the number of patients with 8:00 am appointments that are roomed on time was successfully achieved. Conclusion. The Lean methodology was a successful approach that provided a systematized yet flexible framework to improve the workflow and patient throughput at the Digestive Disease Center.

Abstract Epcoritamab (epcoritamab-bysp; Epkinly™; Tepkinly®) is a subcutaneously administered CD3×CD20 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody being co-developed by Genmab and AbbVie for the treatment of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes (B-NHLs), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Epcoritamab received its first (conditional) approval on 19 May 2023, in the USA, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) DLBCL, not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from indolent lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma after ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy. Elsewhere, epcoritamab has received a positive opinion in the EU as a monotherapy for the treatment of adults with R/R DLBCL after ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy, and is currently under regulatory review in Japan for the treatment of adults with R/R large B-cell lymphoma after ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy. Clinical development of epcoritamab as monotherapy and in combination with standard of care agents for the treatment of mature B-NHLs is ongoing globally. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of epcoritamab leading to this first approval for R/R DLBCL. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023

description: We consider a Cooper pair beam splitter for Iron-Pnictide superconductor and calculate the entangled electron-hole current. We investigate the interplay of various physical parameters such as doping at electron and hole pockets as well as non-zero nesting between the electron and hole pocket. We find that in the absence of magnetic order, the current due to hole pocket and electron pocket add up ordinarily. However in the presence of magnetic ordering the two currents take part in characteristic interference effect to modify the resultant current significantly. This interference effect manifests itself in non-monotonous and oscillatory nature of beam splitter current. We investigate in details this non-monotonicity with the chemical potential as well as nesting vectror $|\bf q|$. We also investigate the evolution of density of states with system parameters and correlate it with the beam-splitter current. Further we enumerate the relevant parameter space where the efficiency of such beam splitter set up is enhanced. Our finding can be useful in experimental determination or verification of co-existence phase in Iron-Pnictide superconductors and has potential applications in realizing quantum gates or switches.

description: The firefighter problem is NP-hard and admits a $(1-1/e)$ approximation based on rounding the canonical LP. In this paper, we first show a matching integrality gap of $(1-1/e+ε)$ on the canonical LP. This result relies on a powerful combinatorial gadget that can be used to prove integrality gap results for many problem settings. We also consider the canonical LP augmented with simple additional constraints (as suggested by Hartke). We provide several evidences that these constraints improve the integrality gap of the canonical LP: (i) Extreme points of the new LP are integral for some known tractable instances and (ii) A natural family of instances that are bad for the canonical LP admits an improved approximation algorithm via the new LP. We conclude by presenting a $5/6$ integrality gap instance for the new LP.

description: In this paper, we examine the behaviour of the Euler-Heisenberg effective action in the presence of a novel axial coupling among the gauge field and the fermionic matter. This axial coupling is responsible to induce a CP-violating term in the extended form of the Euler-Heisenberg effective action, which is generated naturally through the analysis of the box diagram. However, this anomalous model is not a viable extension of QED, and we explicitly show that the induced CP-violating term in the Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian is obtained only by adding an axial coupling to the ordinary QED Lagrangian. In order to perform our analysis, we use a parametrization of the vector and axial coupling constants, $g_{v}$ and $g_{a}$, in terms of a new coupling $β$. Interestingly, this parametrization allows us to explore a hidden symmetry under the change of $g_{v}\leftrightarrow g_{a}$ in some diagrams. This symmetry is explicitly observed in the analysis of the box diagram, where we determine the $λ_i$ coefficients of $\cal{L}_{\rm ext.}^{\rm \small EH}=λ_{1}\cal{F}^{2}+λ_{2}\cal{G}^{2}+λ_{3}\cal{F}\cal{G}$, specially the coefficient $λ_3$ related with the CP-violating term due to the axial coupling. As a phenomenological application of the results, we compute the relevant cross section for the light by light scattering through the extended Euler-Heisenberg effective action.

Association of Picky Eating and Food Neophobia with Weight: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Brown, Callie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Background: Picky eating and food neophobia are common during childhood, however, if is unknown if childhood picky eating predicts future weight status. Objectives: Systematically review the literature to determine if childhood picky eating or food neophobia is associated with childhood weight status, or with becoming underweight, overweight or obese later in childhood. Data Sources: We identified relevant studies from searches of PubMed, PsycINFO, and NEOHAL, as well as citations from identified studies. Study Eligibility Criteria and Participants: Inclusion criteria were original research articles examining a relationship between picky eating and/or food neophobia with childhood weight status. We summarized definitions and prevalence of picky eating or food neophobia and association with weight status. Study Appraisal: Two independent reviewers assessed bias and confounding using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's RTI Item Bank. Results: Forty-one studies met inclusion criteria. Picky eating was defined inconsistently, and a large variation in prevalence was found (5.8%-59%). Food neophobia was consistently defined as an unwillingness to try new foods, with a prevalence of 40-60%. No association existed between childhood weight status and food neophobia, and results were unclear for picky eating with 12 studies finding no association and 14 studies finding disparate associations. Limitations: Risk of bias and confounding were moderate. Parental report was commonly used to assess picky eating, height and weight. Parental weight, feeding styles, and community characteristics were infrequently considered. Conclusions and Implications: Heterogeneous definitions used for picky eating led to a wide range of reported prevalence and an unclear relationship with weight. Consistent definitions and an improved understanding of such a relationship could help clinicians provide appropriate anticipatory guidance.

Contextuality in composite systems: the role of entanglement in the Kochen-Specker theorem

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021

description: The Kochen--Specker (KS) theorem reveals the nonclassicality of single quantum systems. In contrast, Bell's theorem and entanglement concern the nonclassicality of composite quantum systems. Accordingly, unlike incompatibility, entanglement and Bell non-locality are not necessary to demonstrate KS-contextuality. However, here we find that for multiqubit systems, entanglement and non-locality are both essential to proofs of the Kochen--Specker theorem. Firstly, we show that unentangled measurements (a strict superset of local measurements) can never yield a logical (state-independent) proof of the KS theorem for multiqubit systems. In particular, unentangled but nonlocal measurements -- whose eigenstates exhibit "nonlocality without entanglement" -- are insufficient for such proofs.This also implies that proving Gleason's theorem on a multiqubit system necessarily requires entangled projections, as shown by Wallach [Contemp Math, 305: 291-298 (2002)]. Secondly, we show that a multiqubit state admits a statistical (state-dependent) proof of the KS theorem if and only if it can violate a Bell inequality with projective measurements. We also establish the relationship between entanglement and the theorems of Kochen--Specker and Gleason more generally in multiqudit systems by constructing new examples of KS sets. Finally, we discuss how our results shed new light on the role of multiqubit contextuality as a resource within the paradigm of quantum computation with state injection.

description: The co-planarity of solar-system planets led Kant to suggest that they formed from an accretion disk, and the discovery of hundreds of such disks around young stars as well as hundreds of co-planar planetary systems by the Kepler satellite demonstrate that this formation mechanism is extremely widespread. Many moons in the solar system, such as the Galilean moons of Jupiter, also formed out of the accretion disks that coalesced into the giant planets. We report here the discovery of an intermediate system OGLE-2013-BLG-0723LB/Bb composed of a Venus-mass planet orbiting a brown dwarf, which may be viewed either as a scaled down version of a planet plus star or as a scaled up version of a moon plus planet orbiting a star. The latter analogy can be further extended since they orbit in the potential of a larger, stellar body. For ice-rock companions formed in the outer parts of accretion disks, like Uranus and Callisto, the scaled masses and separations of the three types of systems are similar, leading us to suggest that formation processes of companions within accretion disks around stars, brown dwarfs, and planets are similar.

description: The interplay of non-Fermi liquid and superconductivity born out of strong dynamical interactions is at the heart of the physics of unconventional superconductivity. As a solvable platform of the strongly correlated superconductors, we study the pairing instabilities of the Yukawa-Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (Yukawa-SYK) model, which describes spin-1/2 fermions coupled to bosons by the random, all-to-all, spin-independent and dependent Yukawa interactions. In contrast to the previously studied models, the random Yukawa couplings are sampled from a collection of Gaussian ensembles whose variances follow a continuous distribution rather than being fixed to a constant. By tuning the analytic behaviour of the distribution, we could control the fermion incoherence to systematically examine various normal states ranging from the Fermi liquid to non-Fermi liquids that are different from the conformal solution of the SYK model with a constant variance. Using the linearised Eliashberg theory, we show that the onset of the unconventional spin-triplet pairing is preferred with the spin-dependent interactions while all pairing channels show instabilities with the spin-independent interactions. Although the interactions shorten the lifetime of the fermions in the non-Fermi liquid, the same interactions also dress the bosons to strengthen the tendency to pair the incoherent fermions. As a consequence, the onset temperature $T_c$ of the pairing is enhanced in the non-Fermi liquid compared to the case of the Fermi liquid.

description: The use of ICT to automate data and information has long been utilised in Malaysian manufacturing organisations. Malaysian manufacturers use ICT to automate and integrate operations such as distribution, supply chain, financials and manufacturing and provide data for better decision making. While some research focuses on corporate strategy and technology in the Malaysian manufacturing industries, little research has been conducted connecting strategy, ICT core competence and/or corporate competitive advantage in the Malaysian manufacturing sector. This exploratory work-based research study sought to focus on investigating ICT as embedded in corporate strategy, ICT resource allocation and the development of core competence in achieving competitive advantage in the Malaysian manufacturing sector. The study adopted resource based theory (RBT) to frame the research. The RBT of the organisation looks at competitive advantage based on its resources and capabilities. This aligns with the study which looks at ICT resource allocation, ICT capabilities and the development of core competence. A sequential, exploratory mixed-methods research design was used in this study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews followed by an online quantitative survey of manufacturing companies. The results show strong evidence that corporate strategy needs to integrate ICT strategy to a corporate level; understand the technologies and capabilities to leverage their value; and to develop its capabilities into a core-competence that translates into competitive advantage.

description: Measuring environment for large numbers of distant galaxies is still an open problem, for which we need galaxy positions and redshifts. Photometric redshifts are more easily available for large numbers of galaxies, but at the price of larger uncertainties than spectroscopic ones. In this work we study how photometric redshifts affect the measurement of galaxy environment and how this may limit an analysis of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) in different environments. Using mock galaxy catalogues, we measured the environment with a fixed aperture method, using each galaxy's true and photometric redshifts. We varied the fixed aperture volume parameters and the photometric redshift uncertainties. We then computed GSMF as a function of redshift and environment. We found that only when using high-precision photometric redshifts with $σ_{Δz/(1+z)} \le 0.01$, the most extreme environments can be reconstructed in a fairly accurate way, with a fraction $\ge 60÷80\%$ of galaxies placed in the correct density quartile and a contamination of $\le 10\%$ by opposite quartile interlopers. A volume height comparable to the $\pm 1.5σ$ error of photometric redshifts grants a better reconstruction than other volume configurations. When using such an environmental measure, we found that any differences between the starting GSMF (divided accordingly to the true galaxy environment) will be damped on average of $\sim 0.3$ dex when using photometric redshifts, but will be still resolvable. These results may be used to interpret real data as we obtained them in a way that is fairly independent from how well the mock catalogues reproduce the real galaxy distribution. This work represents a preparatory study for future wide area photometric redshift surveys such as the Euclid Survey and we plan to apply these results to an analysis of the GSMF in the UltraVISTA Survey in future work.

description: The great success of transformer-based models in natural language processing (NLP) has led to various attempts at adapting these architectures to other domains such as vision and audio. Recent work has shown that transformers can outperform Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on vision and audio tasks. However, one of the main shortcomings of transformer models, compared to the well-established CNNs, is the computational complexity. In transformers, the compute and memory complexity is known to grow quadratically with the input length. Therefore, there has been extensive work on optimizing transformers, but often at the cost of degrading predictive performance. In this work, we propose a novel method to optimize and regularize transformers on audio spectrograms. Our proposed models achieve a new state-of-the-art performance on Audioset and can be trained on a single consumer-grade GPU. Furthermore, we propose a transformer model that outperforms CNNs in terms of both performance and training speed. Source code: https://github.com/kkoutini/PaSST

description: An approach to generalize any kind of collinear functionals in density functional theory to non-collinear functionals is proposed. This approach, for the very first time, satisfies the correct collinear limit for any kind of functionals, guaranteeing that the exact collinear functional after generalized is still exact for collinear spins. Besides, it has well-defined and numerically stable functional derivatives, a desired feature for non-collinear and spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory. Furthermore, it provides local torque, hinting at its applications in spin dynamics.

description: Emergent $U(1)$ gauge theories and artificial photons in frustrated magnets are outstanding examples of many-body collective phenomena. The classical and quantum regimes of these systems provide platforms for classical and quantum spin liquids, and are the subject of current active theoretical and experimental investigations. Recently, realizations of rank-2 $U(1)$ (R2-U1) gauge theories in three-dimensional frustrated magnets have been proposed. Such systems in the quantum regime may lead to the so-called fracton ordered phases -- a new class of topological order that has been associated with quantum stabilizer codes and holography. However, there exist few distinguishing characteristics of these states for their detection in real materials. Here we focus on the classical limit, and present the dynamical spin structure factor for a R2-U1 spin liquid state on a breathing pyrochlore lattice. Remarkably, we find unique signatures of the R2-U1 state, and we contrast them with the results obtained from a more conventional $U(1)$ spin liquid. These results provide a new path of investigation for future inelastic neutron scattering experiments on candidate materials.

description: Objectives: I investigated gay and bisexual men's willingness to self-administer an anal cancer screening test at home. Methods: I reviewed the current literature on acceptability of cytological anal cancer screening tests among gay and bisexual men by searching three databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, and PsychINFO) and present a qualitative synthesis of the literature. I then performed a secondary data analysis of two national, online surveys of gay and bisexual men: Study I in 2009 with men ages 20-59 (n=306) and Study II in 2013 with men ages 18-26 (n=428). I used logistic regression to identify bivariate correlates of willingness to self-administer an anal cancer screening test for both studies and scompared the results. Results: Most men were willing to self-administer an anal cancer screening test (78% Study I; 67% Study II), similar to the findings of the most recent studies of physician-collected tests. In Study I, willingness was higher among men who trusted anal Paps to find treatable cancer (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.47; 95% CI 1.04, 2.09) and who believed that men who have sex with men should be screened for anal cancer between one and three years vs. other intervals (aOR=2.19; 95% CI 1.17, 4.10). In Study II, willingness was higher among men who perceived greater likelihood of anal cancer (aOR=1.57; 95% CI 1.12, 2.20). Their most common concerns were not performing the test correctly and inaccuracy of results. Conclusions: Many gay and bisexual men were willing to self-administer anal cancer screening tests at home. If routine screening is warranted, self-collected home testing could improve participation.
