description: Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a chronic lung infection caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, that complicates structural lung diseases. Of the different types of CPA, chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) is the most common form. The mainstay of treatment of CCPA is oral triazoles. However, many gaps exist in clinical decision-making about the agent of choice, the duration, and the assessment of treatment response. We discuss the approach to diagnosis and treatment of CCPA. We have searched the PubMed and EmBase databases (from inception till 31 October 2019) to identify studies describing the use of anti-fungal agents in CCPA. Treatment for CCPA should be initiated with oral itraconazole for at least six months. In case of poor response or intolerance to itraconazole, voriconazole should be considered. Intravenous agents, including amphotericin B and echinocandins, may be used in those with either treatment failure or those who are intolerant to oral antifungal agents. Posaconazole and isavuconazole may be used as salvage therapy due to a better pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile of the former and reduced drug-drug interactions with the latter.

description: We have developed a nonlinear differential effective dipole approximation (NDEDA), in an attempt to investigate the effective linear and third-order nonlinear susceptibility of composite media in which graded spherical inclusions with weak nonlinearity are randomly embedded in a linear host medium. Alternatively, based on a first-principles approach, we derived exactly the linear local field inside the graded particles having power-law dielectric gradation profiles. As a result, we obtain also the effective linear dielectric constant and third-order nonlinear susceptibility. Excellent agreement between the two methods is numerically demonstrated. As an application, we apply the NDEDA to investigate the surface plasma resonant effect on the optical absorption, optical nonlinearity enhancement, and figure of merit of metal-dielectric composites. It is found that the presence of gradation in metal particles yields a broad resonant band in the optical region, and further enhances the figure of merit.

Maximum path information and the principle of least action for chaotic system

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: A path information is defined in connection with the different possible paths of chaotic system moving in its phase space between two cells. On the basis of the assumption that the paths are differentiated by their actions, we show that the maximum path information leads to a path probability distribution as a function of action from which the well known transition probability of Brownian motion can be easily derived. An interesting result is that the most probable paths are just the paths of least action. This suggests that the principle of least action, in a probabilistic situation, is equivalent to the principle of maximization of information or uncertainty associated with the probability distribution.

description: We introduce a novel approach to Bertini irreducibility theorems over an arbitrary field, based on random hyperplane slicing over a finite field. Extending a result of Benoist, we prove that for a morphism $ϕ\colon X \to \mathbb{P}^n$ such that $X$ is geometrically irreducible and the nonempty fibers of $ϕ$ all have the same dimension, the locus of hyperplanes $H$ such that $ϕ^{-1} H$ is not geometrically irreducible has dimension at most $\operatorname{codim} ϕ(X)+1$. We give an application to monodromy groups above hyperplane sections.

A Particle-Level Perspective on Time Travel
Creators: name: Khan, Muhammad Shahzaib Uddin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This document presents a novel theoretical framework positing that time travel is an intrinsic, routine phenomenon at the particle level rather than an extraordinary, macroscopic event. In contrast to traditional discussions that focus on human-scale time travel (e.g., via wormholes or closed timelike curves), this theory suggests that fundamental particles routinely traverse time—both forward and backward—due to underlying quantum properties.

The proposal is structured in an IMRaD-like format and includes the following components:

Abstract: Summarizes the main idea, key assumptions, and potential implications of the theory.

Introduction: Outlines the background of time travel concepts in relativity and quantum mechanics, identifies the knowledge gap, and states the purpose of the new theory.

Theoretical Framework: Describes the conceptual basis and presents a modified Schrödinger equation that incorporates a retroactive term, iℏ∂∂tΨ(x,t)=H^Ψ(x,t)+α Ψ(x,−t)i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi(x,t) = \hat{H}\Psi(x,t) + \alpha\, \Psi(x,-t)iℏ∂t∂Ψ(x,t)=H^Ψ(x,t)+αΨ(x,−t), where α\alphaα quantifies the strength of the time-reversed influence.

Preliminary Simulation Experiments: Details numerical simulations performed using the QuTiP library, where a two-level quantum system is evolved under standard unitary dynamics and then modified with a retroactive contribution. Observable deviations (e.g., in the expectation value of the Pauli σz\sigma_zσz operator) are presented as preliminary evidence supporting the theory.

Discussion and Implications: Compares the new theory with existing concepts (such as Feynman's interpretation of antiparticles and closed timelike curves), discusses its potential strengths and limitations, and suggests future research directions and experimental tests.

This work is intended for open scientific discussion and peer review, and it aims to stimulate further exploration into the interplay between quantum mechanics and the nature of time.

description: Damage to Nonstructural Elements (NEs) observed during recent major earthquakes indicates that the seismic design of NEs can significantly affect the overall seismic performance of buildings. NEs are subjected to floor accelerations that are usually higher than ground accelerations, resulting in an increased likelihood of inelastic deformations at their anchorages or support elements. However, the inelastic response of NEs has not been comprehensively analyzed. This research evaluates the influence of the inelastic behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings (RCFBs) on the Inelastic Displacement Ratios (IDRs) and Inelastic Acceleration Ratios (IARs) of acceleration sensitive NEs, IDRs and IARs being important parameters to characterize the inelastic response of NEs. For this purpose, three RCFBs located in Colombia were subjected to scaled ground motions representing different levels of seismic intensity. The findings of this research are: a) as buildings enter the inelastic range, the IDRs show a reduced oscillation amplitude, and the local minima of the IDRs occur at the effective modal periods of the building rather than at the modal periods; b) existing prediction equations for IDRs provide good estimates for low seismic intensities (i.e. essentially elastic building response) and reasonable estimates for higher seismic intensities; c) the characteristic period of the IARs remains relatively insensitive to seismic intensity levels; and d) prediction equations for IARs provide accurate results regardless of seismic intensity levels, especially when the NE damping ratio is relatively low.

description: Land holding in India is highly fragmented and dominated by the presence of small and marginal farmers. Some progress has been observed in case of small and marginal farmer’s access to general financial services, but relatively little improvement has been noticed. The major reason behind such gap is lack of significant studies considering the challenges of agri-value chain financing in context of small holdings of India. Therefore, the prime aim of the present study was firstly to develop a linkage between various schools of thoughts to explore the factors affecting the opportunities and challenges in smallholder finance across the world. Subsequently, pilot study was conducted to test various hypotheses driven by review work through empirical investigation based on various factors affecting the prospects and constraints affecting the smallholder finance in India. The findings of this paper will be useful in designing ground level financing policies related with small and marginal farmers.

description: The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to viral pneumonitis is one of the main causes of high mortality in patients with COVID-19 (novel coronavirus disease 2019). We systematically reviewed mortality in COVID-19 patients with ARDS and the potential role of systemic corticosteroids in COVID-19 patients. Electronic databases and country-specific healthcare databases were searched to identify relevant studies/reports. The quality assessment of individual studies was conducted using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Country-specific proportion of individuals with COVID-19 who developed ARDS and reported death were combined in a random-effect meta-analysis to give a pooled mortality estimate of ARDS. The overall pooled mortality estimate among 10,815 ARDS cases in COVID-19 patients was 39% (95% CI: 23–56%). The pooled mortality estimate for China was 69% (95% CI: 67–72%). In Europe, the highest mortality estimate among COVID-19 patients with ARDS was reported in Poland (73%; 95% CI: 58–86%) while Germany had the lowest mortality estimate (13%; 95% CI: 2–29%) among COVID-19 patients with ARDS. The median crude mortality rate of COVID-19 patients with reported corticosteroid use was 28.0% (lower quartile: 13.9%; upper quartile: 53.6%). The high mortality in COVID-19 associated ARDS necessitates a prompt and aggressive treatment strategy which includes corticosteroids. Most of the studies included no information on the dosing regimen of corticosteroid therapy, however, low-dose corticosteroid therapy or pulse corticosteroid therapy appears to have a beneficial role in the management of severely ill COVID-19 patients.

description:
On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization marked the removal of the constitutional right to abortion in the USA, introducing a complex ethical and legal landscape for patients and providers. This shift has had immediate health and equity repercussions, but it is also crucial to examine the broader impacts on states, health-care systems, and society as a whole. Restrictions on abortion access extend beyond immediate reproductive care concerns, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the ruling's consequences across micro and macro levels. To mitigate potential harm, it is imperative to establish a research agenda that informs policy making and ensures effective long-term monitoring and reporting, addressing both immediate and future impacts.

description: We propose a novel technique that promises hope of being the first to directly detect a polarization in the quantum electrodynamic (QED) vacuum. The technique is based upon the use of ultra-short pulses of light circulating in low dispersion optical resonators. We show that the technique circumvents the need for large scale liquid helium cooled magnets, and more importantly avoids the experimental pitfalls that plague existing experiments that make use of these magnets. Likely improvements in the performance of optics and lasers would result in the ability to observe vacuum polarization in an experiment of only a few hours duration.

description: We present a method based on the scattering $\mathbb{T}$ operator, and conservation of net real and reactive power, to provide physical bounds on any electromagnetic design objective that can be framed as a net radiative emission, scattering or absorption process. Application of this approach to planewave scattering from an arbitrarily shaped, compact body of homogeneous electric susceptibility $χ$ is found to predictively quantify and differentiate the relative performance of dielectric and metallic materials across all optical length scales. When the size of a device is restricted to be much smaller than the wavelength (a subwavelength cavity, antenna, nanoparticle, etc.), the maximum cross section enhancement that may be achieved via material structuring is found to be much weaker than prior predictions: the response of strong metals ($\mathrm{Re}[χ] < 0$) exhibits a diluted (homogenized) effective medium scaling $\propto |χ| / \mathrm{Im}[χ]$; below a threshold size inversely proportional to the index of refraction (consistent with the half-wavelength resonance condition), the maximum cross section enhancement possible with dielectrics ($\mathrm{Re}[χ] > 0$) shows the same material dependence as Rayleigh scattering. In the limit of a bounding volume much larger than the wavelength in all dimensions, achievable scattering interactions asymptote to the geometric area, as predicted by ray optics. For representative metal and dielectric materials, geometries capable of scattering power from an incident plane wave within an order of magnitude (typically a factor of two) of the bound are discovered by inverse design. The basis of the method rests entirely on scattering theory, and can thus likely be applied to acoustics, quantum mechanics, and other wave physics.

description: A new solution to Einstein equations in (1+5)-spacetime with an embedded (1+3) brane is given. This solution localizes the zero modes of all kinds of matter fields and 4-gravity on the (1+3) brane by an increasing, transverse gravitational potential. This localization occurs despite the fact that the gravitational potential is not a decreasing exponential, and asymptotically approaches a finite value rather than zero.

description: From the analysis of more than 92 ks of data obtained with the laxpc instrument on board Astrosat we have detected a clear high-frequency QPO whose frequency varies between 67.4 and 72.3 Hz. In the classification of variability classes of GRS 1915+105, at the start of the observation period the source was in class omega and at the end the variability was that of class mu: both classes are characterized by the absence of hard intervals and correspond to disk-dominated spectra. After normalization to take into account time variations of the spectral properties as measured by X-ray hardness, the QPO centroid frequency is observed to vary along the hardness-intensity diagram, increasing with hardness. We also measure phase lags that indicate that HFQPO variability at high energies lags that at lower energies and detect systematic variations with the position on the hardness-intensity diagram. This is the first time that (small) variations of the HFQPO frequency and lags are observed to correlate with other properties of the source. We discuss the results in the framework of existing models, although the small (7%) variability observed is too small to draw firm conclusions.

description: Aim/Objective: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. In UC, a wide range of criteria are used for disease remission, with few studies investigating the differences between disease remission and normal control groups. This paper compares known inflammatory and healing mediators in the mucosa of UC in clinical remission and normal controls, in order to better describe the remission state. Method: Mucosal biopsies from 72 study participants (48 UC and 24 normal controls) were included from the Advanced Study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (ASIB Study), Arctic University of Norway, Norway. Clinical remission was defined as Mayo clinical score ≤ 2, with endoscopic subscores of ≤ 1. Targeted gene transcription analyses were performed using hydrolysis probes and SYBR-green. Results: Among the mucosal transcripts examined, 10 genes were regulated in remission versus normal controls, 8 upregulated pro-inflammatory transcripts (IL1B, IL33, TNF, TRAF1, CLDN2, STAT1, STAT3 and IL13Ra2) and 2 downregulated (pro-inflammatory TBX21 and anti-inflammatory TGFB1). In total, 14 transcripts were regulated between the investigated groups. Several master transcription factors for T-cell development were upregulated in patients with Mayo endoscopic score of 1 in comparison to 0. Conclusions: The mucosa of UC in clinical and endoscopic remission differs from normal mucosa, suggesting a remaining dysregulation of inflammatory and wound healing mechanisms.

description: In the framework of a flat FLRW model we derive an inflationary regime in which the scalar field, laying on the plateau of its potential, admits a linear time dependence and remains close to a constant value. The behaviour of inhomogeneous perturbations is determined on the background metric in agreement to the "slow-rolling" approximation. We show that the inhomogeneous scales which before inflation were not much greater then the physical horizon, conserve their spectrum (almost) unaltered after the de Sitter phase.

description: Today, it is well known that light possesses a linear momentum which is along the propagation direction. Besides, scientists also discovered that light can possess an angular momentum (AM), a spin angular momentum (SAM) associated with circular polarization and an orbital angular momentum (OAM) owing to the azimuthally dependent phase. Even though such angular momenta are longitudinal in general, a SAM transverse to the propagation has opened up a variety of key applications [1]. In contrast, investigations of the transverse OAM are quite rare due to its complex nature. Here we demonstrate a simple method to generate a three dimensional (3D) optical wave packet with a controllable purely transverse OAM. Such a wave packet is a spatiotemporal (ST) vortex, which resembles an advancing cyclone, with optical energy flowing in the spatial and temporal dimension. Contrary to the transverse SAM, the magnitude of the transverse OAM carried by the photonic cyclone is scalable to a larger value by simple adjustments. Since the ST vortex carries a controllable OAM in the unique transverse dimension, it has a strong potential for novel applications that may not be possible otherwise. The scheme reported here can be readily adapted for the other spectra regime and different wave fields, opening tremendous opportunities for the study and applications of ST vortex in much broader scopes.

description: Estimation of unknown qubit elementary gates and alignment of reference frames are formally the same problem. Using quantum states made out of $N$ qubits, we show that the theoretical precision limit for both problems, which behaves as $1/N^{2}$, can be asymptotically attained with a covariant protocol that exploits the quantum correlation of internal degrees of freedom instead of the more fragile entanglement between distant parties. This cuts by half the number of qubits needed to achieve the precision of the dense covariant coding protocol.

description: A two-step sample selection model is used to estimate household demand equations for fluid milk and cheese products incorporating national generic advertising. This approach allows us to disentangle the incidence of the advertising effect on the probability of purchase and changes in the level of consumption. Generic advertising for fluid milk had a predominantly intensive effect on athome fluid milk demand, implying that advertising was relatively more effective at increasing the consumption of current consumers. Conversely, the at-home cheese demand response to generic cheese advertising was almost exclusively extensive, with virtually the entire increase in quantity demanded due to an increase in the household’s probability of purchase.

description: We present results from the analysis of WIYN pODI imaging of 23 ultra-compact high-velocity clouds (UCHVCs), which were identified in the ALFALFA HI survey as possible dwarf galaxies in or near the Local Group. To search for a resolved stellar population associated with the HI gas in these objects, we carried out a series of steps designed to identify stellar overdensities in our optical images. We identify five objects that are likely stellar counterparts to the UCHVCs, at distances of $\sim 350$ kpc to $\sim 1.6$ Mpc. Two of the counterparts were already described in Janesh et al. (2015) and Janesh et al. (2017); the estimated distance and detection significance for one of them changed in the final analysis of the full pODI data set. At their estimated distances, the detected objects have HI masses from $2 \times 10^4$ to $3 \times 10^6$ Msun, $M_V$ from -1.4 to -7.1, and stellar masses from $4 \times 10^2$ to $4 \times 10^5$ Msun. None of the objects shows evidence of a young stellar population. Their properties would make the UCHVCs some of the most extreme objects in and around the Local Group, comparable to ultra faint dwarf galaxies in their stellar populations, but with significant gas content. Such objects probe the extreme end of the galaxy mass function, and provide a testbed for theories regarding the baryonic feedback processes that impact star formation and galaxy evolution in this low-mass regime.

description: We consider a quantum deformation of the wave equation on a cosmological background as a toy-model for possible trans-Planckian effects. We compute the power spectrum of scalar and tensor fluctuations for power-law inflation, and find a noticeable deviation from the standard result. We consider de Sitter inflation as a special case, and find that the resulting power spectrum is scale invariant. For both inflationary scenarios the departure from the standard spectrum is sensitive to the size of the deformation parameter. A modulation in the power spectrum appears to be a generic feature of the model.

description: The center of mass and spin for isolated sources of gravitational radiation that move at relativistic speeds are defined. As a first step, we also present these definitions in flat space. This contradicts some general wisdom given in textbooks claiming that such definitions are not covariant and thus, have no physical meaning. We then generalize the definitions to asymptotically flat spacetimes giving their equations of motion when gravitational radiation is emitted by the isolated sources. The resulting construction has some similarities with the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations which describes the motion of the particle in an external field. We analyze the relationship between the center of mass velocity and the Bondi linear momentum and show they are not proportional to each other. A similar situation happens between the total and intrinsic angular momentum when the Bondi momentum vanishes. We claim that extra terms should be added in other approaches to adequately describe the time evolution of isolated sources of gravitational radiation.

description: We study the observational signatures from particle production of a $U(1)$ gauge field kinetically coupled to an inflaton. Regarding the form of gauge kinetic function, we consider the possibility that it becomes stabilized at a certain time, which makes the growing power of the gauge field evolve non-monotonically with a sharp transition. Remarkably, the copious production of the gauge field occurs on super-horizon scales at the late stage of inflation and perturbations are enhanced on the intermediate scales during inflation. We find that it can predict a bumpy shape of the curvature power spectrum which leads to the generation of primordial black holes as a dark matter after inflation. We also estimate two types of tensor modes sourced by the gauge field: the primordial gravitational waves generated during inflation and the induced gravitational waves provided by the enhanced curvature perturbation after inflation. We show that both of them are potentially testable with the future space-based gravitational wave interferometers.

description: We describe a protocol to read out the topological invariant of interacting 1D chiral models, based on measuring the mean chiral displacement of time-evolving bulk excitations. We present analytical calculations and numerical Matrix Product State simulations of interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains, demonstrating how the mean chiral displacement allows to distinguish between topological insulator, trivial insulator and symmetry-broken phases. Finally, we provide an experimental blueprint for realizing a model displaying these three phases and describe how to detect those.

description: Several studies on real complex networks from different fields as biology, economy, or sociology have shown that the degree of nodes (number of edges connected to each node) follows a scale-free power-law distribution like $P(k)\approx k^{-γ}$, where $P(k)$ denotes the frequency of the nodes that are connected to $k$ other nodes. Here we have carried out a study on scale-free networks, where a line graph transformation (i.e., edges in an initial network are transformed into nodes) is applied to a power-law distribution. Our results indicate that a power-law distribution as $P(k)\approx k^{-γ+1}$ is found for the transformed network together with a peak for low-degree nodes. In the present work we show a parametrization of this behaviour and discuss its application to real networks as metabolic networks, protein-protein interaction network and World Wide Web.
