description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune rheumatological disease thought to have substantial genetic contributions. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) can activate DNA synthesis and cellular proliferation. Early RA synovial fluid was characterized by significantly elevated levels stromal cell and macrophage-related cytokines including EGF. We therefore hypothesized that EGF polymorphisms may contribute to RA susceptibility in the Chinese population. We studied EGF rs11568835 G/A and EGF rs3756261 T/C polymorphisms in 520 patients with RA and 520 controls in a Chinese population. When the EGF rs11568835 GG homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the AA genotype was associated with an increased risk for RA (AA versus GG, odds ratio [OR] = 3.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.19–11.17, p = 0.024), the GA or GA/AA genotype was not associated with the risk for RA (GA versus GG, OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.75–1.31, p = 0.931; GA + AA versus GG, OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.81–1.40, p = 0.659). EGF rs3756261 T/C was not associated with susceptibility to RA. These results provide the first positive evidence for an association between EGF rs11568835 G/A polymorphism and RA.

Absence of bimodal peak spacing distribution in the Coulomb blockade regime

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using exact diagonalization numerical methods, as well as analytical arguments, we show that for the typical electron densities in chaotic and disordered dots the peak spacing distribution is not bimodal, but rather Gaussian. This is in agreement with the experimental observations. We attribute this behavior to the tendency of an even number of electrons to gain on-site interaction energy by removing the spin degeneracy. Thus, the dot is predicted to show a non trivial electron number dependent spin polarization. Experimental test of this hypothesis based on the spin polarization measurements are proposed.

Correlation induced collapse of many-body systems with zero-range potentials

description: The zero-range potential is customarily employed in various mean-field calculations of many-body systems in atomic and nuclear physics within, correspondingly, Gross-Pitaevskii and Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach. We argue, however, that a many-body system with zero-range potentials is unstable against clusterization into collapsed three-body subsystems. We show that neither the density dependence of the potential nor an additional repulsive three-body potential can prevent this unexpected correlational collapse if the potentials are of zero range. Therefore the zero-range potential can only be used in many-body calculations where all three-body correlations are explicitly excluded.

description: We discuss the effective donor/acceptor coupling for a bridged electron transfer system with a site-diagonal disorder of bridge energies. The average spectral properties of the system are discussed by using the Wegner model (Anderson's type tight-binding Hamiltonian (TBH))for the electronic part of the problem. Spectral properties of the system are discussed using the concept of the functional inverse of the resolvent (``Blue's function'', introduced by Zee) for various limits of noise versus site-site coupling ratio.

description: A length dependence of the effective mobility in the form of a power law, B ~ L^(1-1/alpha) is observed in dispersive transport in amorphous substances, with 0 < α< 1. We deduce this behavior as a simple consequence of the statistical theory of extreme events. We derive various quantities related to the largest value in samples of n trials, for the exponential and power-law probability densities of the individual events.

The Formation of Supermassive Black Holes and the Evolution of Supermassive Stars

description: The existence of supermassive black holes is supported by a growing body of observations. Supermassive black holes and their formation events are likely candidates for detection by proposed long-wavelength, space-based gravitational wave interferometers like LISA. However, the nature of the progenitors of supermassive black holes is rather uncertain. Supermassive black hole formation scenarios that involve either the stellar dynamical evolution of dense clusters or the hydrodynamical evolution of supermassive stars have been proposed. Each of these formation scenarios is reviewed and the evolution of supermassive stars is then examined in some detail. Supermassive stars that rotate uniformly during their secular cooling phase will spin up to the mass-shedding limit and eventually contract to the point of relativistic collapse. Supermassive stars that rotate differentially as they cool will likely encounter the dynamical bar mode instability prior to the onset of relativistic collapse. A supermassive star that undergoes this bar distortion, prior to or during collapse, may be a strong source of quasiperiodic, long-wavelength gravitational radiation.

description: Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the differences in clinic-pathological features of secondary IgA nephropathy (SIgAN) between patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Forty-six patients with SIgAN related to AS (SIgAN-AS) and 26 patients with SIgAN related to RA (SIgAN-RA) were enrolled in this retrospective study. The two groups were compared for their clinic-pathological characteristics. Results: The 10-year prevalence of SIgAN-AS and SIgAN-RA were 167 per 1000 and 51.3 per 1000, respectively. Compared with SIgAN-RA patients, SIgAN-AS patients had lower incidences of edema and nephrotic syndrome, but higher levels of eGFR, serum C3, and CD3- and CD8-positive T-cell counts, but less incidences of acute tubulointerstitial lesions and interlobular arterial lesions. IgM was the most familiar co-depositing immune complex on tissue with significantly different frequencies. In SIgAN-AS patients, those with positive HLA-B27 presented with lower levels of proteinuria, higher levels of serum IgG and C3, and less incidence of renal insufficiency, crescents >14.5%, glomerular sclerosis >32.6% and segmental sclerosis >5.2%. Conclusion: SIgAN was more prevalent in AS than in RA. SIgAN-AS patients differed from SIgAN-RA patients in certain clinic-pathological characteristics. HLA-B27 likely protected SIgAN-AS patients from renal insufficiency.

description: Surrogate modeling and uncertainty quantification tasks for PDE systems are most often considered as supervised learning problems where input and output data pairs are used for training. The construction of such emulators is by definition a small data problem which poses challenges to deep learning approaches that have been developed to operate in the big data regime. Even in cases where such models have been shown to have good predictive capability in high dimensions, they fail to address constraints in the data implied by the PDE model. This paper provides a methodology that incorporates the governing equations of the physical model in the loss/likelihood functions. The resulting physics-constrained, deep learning models are trained without any labeled data (e.g. employing only input data) and provide comparable predictive responses with data-driven models while obeying the constraints of the problem at hand. This work employs a convolutional encoder-decoder neural network approach as well as a conditional flow-based generative model for the solution of PDEs, surrogate model construction, and uncertainty quantification tasks. The methodology is posed as a minimization problem of the reverse Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the model predictive density and the reference conditional density, where the later is defined as the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution at a given inverse temperature with the underlying potential relating to the PDE system of interest. The generalization capability of these models to out-of-distribution input is considered. Quantification and interpretation of the predictive uncertainty is provided for a number of problems.

description: ^{139}La NMR measurements of La_{2/3}Ca_{1/3}MnO_3 performed in the paramagnetic state and high magnetic fields are reported. Analysis of the high temperature spectrum measured establishes that the spectrum it is a standard powder pattern broadened by a variation in lattice distortions. At lower temperatures, the spectrum shifts and broadens. Both the shift and broadening exhibit Curie-Weiss behavior, indicating that the shift measures the polarization of the electron spin system, and the broadening reflects a distribution of magnetic susceptibilities. This distribution may result from variations of local susceptibility in the bulk of the sample or from differences in demagnetizing factors among powder grains. The spectrum also indicates that the lattice distortions do not change as the temperature lowers. Spectral diffusion measurements suggest that the temperature dependence of the spectrum shape does not result from freezing out of motion of magnetic polarons. Variation of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation across the spectrum indicate that magnetic fluctuations, not lattice vibrations, dominate nuclear relaxation. Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation therefore measures electron spin dynamics in this system. The magnetic field dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation indicates that the electron spin-spin correlation function adopts simple single exponential behavior with a slow field-independent correlation time of 10^{-8} seconds near Tc. The spin-spin correlation function changes form at higher temperatures, but remains slow. The spin-lattice relaxation therefore indicates the presence of extremely slow dynamics above Tc.

description: The interplay between the electron repulsion $U$ and the Jahn-Teller electron-phonon interation $E_{LR}$ is studied with a large $d$ model for the ferromagnetic state of the manganese oxides. These two interactions collaborate to induce the local isospin (orbital) moments and reduce the bandwidth $B$. Especially the retardation effect of the Jahn-Teller phonon with the frequency $Ω$ is effective to reduce $B$, but the strong $Ω$-dependence occurs even when the Coulombic interaction is dominating ($ U >> E_{LR}$) as long as $E_{LR} > Ω$. The phonon spectrum consists of two components, i.e., the temperature independent sharp peak at $ω= {\tilde Ω} = Ω[(U +4 E_{LR})/U]^{1/2}$ and that corresponding to the Kondo peak. These results compared with the experiments suggest that $Ω

description: There are 880 magic squares of size 4 by 4, and 275,305,224 of size 5 by 5. It seems very difficult if not impossible to count exactly the number of higher order magic squares. We propose a method to estimate these numbers by Monte Carlo simulating magic squares at finite temperature. One is led to perform low temperature simulations of a system with many ground states that are separated by energy barriers. The Parallel Tempering Monte Carlo method turns out to be of great help here. Our estimate for the number of 6 by 6 magic squares is 0.17745(16) times 10**20.

description: Subjects assessed their visual impressions about scene brightness, visual clarity, colour preference and scene preference in a real room in which the horizontal illuminance, the correlated colour temperature and the level of chroma enhancement of the light source were changed systematically. The aim of the experiment is to contribute to the development of a user preference model. The concept of this model and the experimental method were described in Part 1 of this work. In Part 2, modelling equations of these four visual attributes and their validation are shown. Criterion illuminance levels for ‘good’ levels of the visual attributes were determined depending on correlated colour temperature.

description: Η λειτουργία μιας κτηνοτροφικής μονάδας υψηλής δυναμικότητας έχει ως αποτέλεσμα την παραγωγή μεγάλης ποσότητας ζωικών, υγρών και στερεών αποβλήτων καθώς επίσης και την εκπομπή πολλών αέριων ρύπων τα οποία μπορούν να προκαλέσουν σοβαρά προβλήματα ρυπάνσεως, μόλυνσης και υποβάθμισης του περιβάλλοντος. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία μελετήθηκε η υποβάθμιση του εδάφους προερχόμενη από τις μονάδες παραγωγής κρέατος και πάχυνσης της βιομηχανικής σταβλικής εγκατάστασης. Η εξεταζόμενη χοιροτροφική μονάδα βρίσκεται σε ασβεστολιθικά εδάφη, δίπλα σε ακτογραμμή, με θάλασσα στα βόρεια και λόφους στα νότια. Το γεγονός αυτό επηρεάζει την εξάπλωση της εκπεμπόμενης αμμωνίας. Εξαιτίας των υψηλών θερμοκρασιών των μεσογειακών οικοσυστημάτων, έχει εκτιμηθεί ότι η εξάπλωση των εκπεμπόμενων ρύπων είναι εντονότερη και κατά συνέπεια η υποβάθμιση του γειτνιάζοντος εδάφους μεγαλύτερη σε σχέση με άλλες βορειότερες ευρωπαικές χώρες. Για τις ανάγκες της παρούσης εργασίας, εδαφικά επιφανειακά δείγματα (0-30 cm) ελήφθησαν σε διάφορες περιόδους και αποστάσεις από τα όρια χοιροτροφικής μονάδας (10-1500 m) σε διαφορετικούς προσανατολισμούς (Νότια, ανατολικά και δυτικά). Στα εδαφικά δείγματα μετρήθηκαν οι περιεκτικότητες των υδατοδιαλυτών ΝΗ4+, Κ+, Ca2+ και Mg2+. Τα εξεταζόμενα δείγματα ελήφθησαν από την περιοχή Λατζιμά του Νομού Ρεθύμνης (στη Βόρεια Κρήτη), όπου βρίσκεται βιομηχανική χοιροτροφική μονάδα δυναμικότητας 1.800 χοιρομητέρων.
description: Animal production has changed from subsistence to an industrial model, lowering production costs but giving rise to higher potential environmental impact. One of the main environmental impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is the soil degradation in vicinity with the livestock breeding facilities due to substances, such as ammonia, emitted from the various stages of the process. In this research, the soil degradation effects of a large meat producing (pigs rearing), processing and packaging unit have been investigated. The investigated hog industry is located at a limestone soil coastal area with sea to the north and hills to the south. This fact has an important influence to the dispersion of ammonia emitted from the various compartments of the facility. Owing to the high temperatures of the Mediterranean ecosystems, it has been estimated that the dispersion of the emitted gases is more extensive and the soil degradation is consequently more severe than those obtained in northern European countries. For the needs of the present study soil samples of the upper mineral soil (0-30 cm) were taken in various distances and directions (10-1500 m) from the CAFO boundaries. The soil samples were analysed on ΝΗ4+, Κ+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations by applying standard methods.

description: Moving grids are of interest in the numerical solution of hydrodynamical problems and in numerical relativity. We show that conventional integration methods for the simple wave equation in one and more than one dimension exhibit a number of instabilities on moving grids. We introduce two techniques, which we call causal reconnection and time-symmetric ADI, which together allow integration of the wave equation with absolute local stability in any number of dimensions on grids that may move very much faster than the wave speed and that can even accelerate. These methods allow very long time-steps, are fully second-order accurate, and offer the computational efficiency of operator-splitting.

Work as a Memory Record

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

description: The possibility of a controlled manipulation with molecules at the nanoscale allows us to gain net work from thermal energy, although this seems to be in contradiction to the Second Law of thermodynamics. Any manipulation, however, causes some memory records somewhere in the system's surroundings. To complete the thermodynamic cycle, these records must be reset, which costs energy that cancels the previous gain. The question is, what happens when this memory (information) is recorded only in the work reservoir? Then it cannot be reset because the record means nothing but the work gain itself (e.g., the result position of a weight in the gravity field). Is this a violation of the Second Law? To answer the question, we study in this theoretical work an exchange of energy between a physical (possibly microscopic) system that is thermalized at the beginning and another (possibly microscopic) system -- the work reservoir -- during a deterministic process in an autonomous arrangement, including also an auxiliary device controlling the process. This arrangement is suitable for deriving some equalities which express the Second Law in a form incorporating explicitly relevant memory records (and related information). We use these equalities in studying a hypothetical process including many cycles in which the only non-reset memory record is that in the work reservoir during each cycle. The results show that either the work gain is canceled in following cycles (and the work reservoir fluctuates and cannot accumulate energy), or there exists an information flow from the system (an information engine), or the system cannot work in an expected way for a purely dynamic reason (this reveals a deeper connection of the studied questions with the concept of adiabatic accessibility).

Landscape of key stakeholders for the development of soil information systems

description: The success of a soil information system (SIS) not only relies on technological infrastructure and data quality, but also on effective stakeholder engagement and collaboration. Understanding the diverse range of stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of a SIS is crucial. Defining stakeholder categories based on their nature and how they interact with a SIS can unlock opportunities for inclusive participation, foster collaboration and ensure that the SIS meets the needs and priorities of all stakeholders involved. Developing a comprehensive map of stakeholders would be undoubtedly valuable for understanding the landscape of actors involved in SIS development at the national, regional and global levels. However, the time consuming and static nature of such a map can make it less useful over time. Stakeholder dynamics, interests, and engagements evolve continuously, influenced by changing policies, technologies, and socio-economic contexts. Therefore, this report concentrates on providing the parameters for categorizing different types of stakeholders, which should in turn inform the development of stakeholder maps relevant to a specific geographic context during the development of a SIS.

description: A quantum cloning machine is introduced that yields $M$ identical optimal clones from $N$ replicas of a coherent state and $N'$ replicas of its phase conjugate. It also optimally produces $M'=M+N'-N$ phase-conjugated clones at no cost. For well chosen input asymmetries $N'/(N+N')$, this machine is shown to provide better cloning fidelities than the standard $(N+N') \to M$ cloner. The special cases of the optimal balanced cloner ($N=N'$) and the optimal measurement ($M=\infty$) are investigated.

description: We perform lengthy molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC/E model of water to investigate the dynamics under pressure at many temperatures and compare with experimental measurements. We calculate the isochrones of the diffusion constant $D$ and observe power-law behavior of $D$ on lowering temperature with an apparent singularity at a temperature $T_c(P)$, as observed for water. Additional calculations show that the dynamics of the SPC/E model are consistent with slowing down due to the transient caging of molecules, as described by the mode-coupling theory (MCT). This supports the hypothesis that the apparent divergences of dynamic quantities along $T_c(P)$ in water may be associated with ``slowing down'' as described by MCT.

description: We present a phase field model (PFM) for simulating complex crack patterns including crack propagation, branching and coalescence in rock. The phase field model is implemented in COMSOL and is based on the strain decomposition for the elastic energy, which drives the evolution of the phase field. Then, numerical simulations of notched semi-circular bend (NSCB) tests and Brazil splitting tests are performed. Subsequently, crack propagation and coalescence in rock plates with multiple echelon flaws and twenty parallel flaws are studied. Finally, complex crack patterns are presented for a plate subjected to increasing internal pressure, the (3D) Pertersson beam and a 3D NSCB test. All results are in good agreement with previous experimental and numerical results.

description: Nowadays, consumers can easily compare the prices of the online and offline channels before making purchase decisions, which might arouse the reference price effect among consumers. Considering the reference price effect, how should online and offline retailers set prices? To answer it, we incorporate the reference price effect into a Hotelling model to formulate the online-offline price competition. We find that, when the reference price effect is low (high), the offline (online) retailer monopolizes the market; when the reference price effect is moderate, the retailers co-exist. Interestingly, a first mover disadvantage and a second mover advantage exist in terms of market share, but they do not necessarily exist in terms of profit. However, both the online and offline retailers can be better off by negotiating on the game sequence. Furthermore, we find that each retailer prefers its own price to be regarded as the reference price. A lower reference price, although benefiting the e-retailing in the short run, might compromise the product image and hurt both retailers in the long run.
