description: A critical step in the fight against COVID-19, which continues to have a catastrophic impact on peoples lives, is the effective screening of patients presented in the clinics with severe COVID-19 symptoms. Chest radiography is one of the promising screening approaches. Many studies reported detecting COVID-19 in chest X-rays accurately using deep learning. A serious limitation of many published approaches is insufficient attention paid to explaining decisions made by deep learning models. Using explainable artificial intelligence methods, we demonstrate that model decisions may rely on confounding factors rather than medical pathology. After an analysis of potential confounding factors found on chest X-ray images, we propose a novel method to minimise their negative impact. We show that our proposed method is more robust than previous attempts to counter confounding factors such as ECG leads in chest X-rays that often influence model classification decisions. In addition to being robust, our method achieves results comparable to the state-of-the-art. The source code and pre-trained weights are publicly available at (https://github.com/tomek1911/POTHER).

description: Since frequent severe droughts are lengthening the dry season in the Amazon Rainforest, it is important to detect wildfires promptly and forecast possible spread for effective suppression response. Current wildfire detection models are not versatile enough for the low-technology conditions of South American hot spots. This deep learning study first trains a Fully Convolutional Neural Network on Landsat 8 images of Ecuador and the Galapagos, using Green and Short-wave Infrared bands to predict pixel-level binary fire masks. This model achieves a 0.962 validation F2 score and a 0.932 F2 score on test data from Guyana and Suriname. Afterward, image segmentation is conducted on the Cirrus band using K-Means Clustering to simplify continuous pixel values into three discrete classes representing differing degrees of cirrus cloud contamination. Three additional Convolutional Neural Networks are trained to conduct a sensitivity analysis measuring the effect of simplified features on model accuracy and train time. The Experimental model trained on the segmented cirrus images provides a statistically significant decrease in train time compared to the Control model trained on raw cirrus images, without compromising binary accuracy. This proof of concept reveals that feature engineering can improve the performance of wildfire detection models by lowering computational expense.

description: We prove that the existence of a $1$-Lipschitz retraction (a contraction) from a space $X$ onto its subspace $A$ implies the persistence diagram of $A$ embeds into the persistence diagram of $X$. As a tool we introduce tight injections of persistence modules as maps inducing the said embeddings. We show contractions always exist onto shortest loops in metric graphs and conjecture on existence of contractions in planar metric graphs onto all loops of a shortest homology basis. Of primary interest are contractions onto loops in geodesic spaces. These act as ideal circular coordinates. Furthermore, as the Theorem of Adamaszek and Adams describes the pattern of persistence diagram of $S^1$, a contraction $X \to S^1$ implies the same pattern appears in persistence diagram of $X$.

description: High time resolution radio surveys over the last few years have discovered a population of millisecond-duration transient bursts called fast radio bursts (FRBs), which remain of unknown origin. FRBs exhibit dispersion consistent with propagation through a cold plasma and dispersion measures indicative of an origin at cosmological distances. In this paper, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of a cosmological population of FRBs, based on assumptions consistent with observations of their energy distribution, their spatial density as a function of redshift and the properties of the interstellar and intergalactic media. We examine whether the dispersion measures, fluences, derived redshifts, signal-to-noise ratios and effective widths of known FRBs are consistent with a cosmological population. Statistical analyses indicate that at least 50 events at Parkes are required to distinguish between a constant comoving FRB density, and an FRB density that evolves with redshift like the cosmological star formation rate density.

description: Flat bands and dispersive Dirac bands are known to coexist in the electronic bands in a two-dimensional kagome lattice. Including the relativistic spin-orbit coupling, such systems often exhibit nontrivial band topology, allowing for gapless edge modes between flat bands at several locations in the band structure, and dispersive bands or at the Dirac band crossing. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that a multiorbital system on a kagome lattice is a versatile platform to explore the interplay between nontrivial band topology and electronic interaction. Specifically, here we report that the multiorbital kagome model with the atomic spin-orbit coupling naturally supports topological bands characterized by nonzero Chern numbers $\cal C$, including a flat band with $|{\cal C}| =1$. When such a flat band is $1/3$ filled, the non-local repulsive interactions induce a fractional Chern insulating state. We also discuss the possible realization of our findings in real kagome materials.

description: We study the direct-detection rate for axial-vectorial dark matter scattering off nuclei in an $\mathrm{SU}(2)\times \mathrm{U}(1)$ invariant effective theory and compare it against the LHC reach. Current constraints from direct detection experiments are already bounding the mediator mass to be well into the TeV range for WIMP-like scenarios. This motivates a consistent and systematic exploration of the parameter space to map out possible regions where the rates could be suppressed. We do indeed find such regions and proceed to construct consistent UV models that generate the relevant effective theory. We then discuss the corresponding constraints from both collider and direct-detection experiments on the same parameter space. We find a benchmark scenario, where even for future XENONnT experiment, LHC constraints will have a greater sensitivity to the mediator mass.

description: Early-type (E and S0) galaxies may have assembled via a variety of different evolutionary pathways. Here, we investigate these pathways by comparing the stellar kinematic properties of 24 early-type galaxies from the SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS (SLUGGS) survey with the hydrodynamical simulations of Naab et al. In particular, we use the kinematics of starlight up to 4 effective radii (Re) as diagnostics of galaxy inner and outer regions, and assign each galaxy to one of six Naab et al. assembly classes. The majority of our galaxies (14/24) have kinematic characteristics that indicate an assembly history dominated by gradual gas dissipation and accretion of many gas-rich minor mergers. Three galaxies, all S0s, indicate that they have experienced gas-rich major mergers in their more recent past. One additional elliptical galaxy is tentatively associated with a gas-rich merger which results in a remnant galaxy with low angular momentum. Pathways dominated by gas-poor (major or minor) mergers dominate the mass growth of six galaxies. Most SLUGGS galaxies appear to have grown in mass (and size) via the accretion of stars and gas from minor mergers, with late major mergers playing a much smaller role. We find that the fraction of accreted stars correlates with the stellar mean age and metallicity gradient, but not with the slope of the total mass density profile. We briefly mention future observational and modelling approaches that will enhance our ability to accurately reconstruct the assembly histories of individual present-day galaxies.

description: We develop techniques to probe the dynamics of quantum information, and implement them experimentally on an IBM superconducting quantum processor. Our protocols adapt shadow tomography for the study of time evolution channels rather than of quantum states, and rely only on single-qubit operations and measurements. We identify two unambiguous signatures of quantum information scrambling, neither of which can be mimicked by dissipative processes, and relate these to many-body teleportation. By realizing quantum chaotic dynamics in experiment, we measure both signatures, and support our results with numerical simulations of the quantum system. We additionally investigate operator growth under this dynamics, and observe behaviour characteristic of quantum chaos. As our methods require only a single quantum state at a time, they can be readily applied on a wide variety of quantum simulators.

Field-theoretical approach to open quantum systems and the Lindblad equation

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We develop a systematic field-theoretical approach to open quantum systems based on condensed-matter many-body methods. The time evolution of the reduced density matrix for the open quantum system is determined by a transmission matrix. Developing diagrammatic perturbation theory, invoking Wick's theorem in connection with a Caldeira-Leggett quantum oscillator environment in thermal equilibrium, the transmission matrix satisfies a Dyson equation characterized by an irreducible kernel. Unlike the Nakajima-Zwanzig and standard approaches, the Dyson equation is equivalent to a general non-Markovian master equation for the reduced density matrix, incorporating secular effects and independent of the initial preparation. The kernel is determined by a systematic diagrammatic expansion in powers of the interaction. We consider the Born approximation for the kernel. Applying a condensed-matter pole or, equivalently, a quasiparticle-type approximation, equivalent to the usual assumption of a timescale separation, we derive a master equation of the Markov type. Furthermore, imposing the rotating-wave approximation,we obtain a Markov master equation of the Lindblad form. To illustrate the method, we consider the standard example of a single qubit coupled to a thermal heat bath.

description: Topological quantum codes are favored because they allow qubit layouts that are suitable for practical implementation. An $N$-qubit topological code can be decoded by minimum-weight perfect matching (MWPM) with complexity $O(\text{poly}(N))$ if it is of CSS-type. Recently it is shown that various quantum codes, including non-CSS codes, can be decoded by an adapted belief propagation with memory effects (denoted MBP) with complexity almost linear in $N$. In this paper, we show that various two-dimensional topological codes, CSS or non-CSS, regardless of the layout, can be decoded by MBP, including color codes and twisted XZZX codes. We will comprehensively compare these codes in terms of code efficiency and decoding performance, assuming perfect error syndromes.

description: Mean-field models of glasses that present a random first order transition exhibit highly non-trivial fluctuations. Building on previous studies that focused on the critical scaling regime, we here obtain a fully quantitative framework for all equilibrium conditions. By means of the replica method we evaluate Gaussian fluctuations of the overlaps around the thermodynamic limit, decomposing them in thermal fluctuations inside each state and heterogeneous fluctuations between different states. We first test and compare our analytical results with numerical simulation results for the p-spin spherical model and the random orthogonal model, and then analyze the random Lorentz gas. In all cases, a strong quantitative agreement is obtained. Our analysis thus provides a robust scheme for identifying the key finite-size (or finite-dimensional) corrections to the mean-field treatment of these paradigmatic glass models.

description: We calculate the decay branching fractions of the Higgs boson to $J/ψ$ and $η_c$ via the charm-quark fragmentation mechanism for the color-singlet and color-octet states in the framework of non-relativistic QCD. The decay rates are governed by the charm-quark Yukawa coupling, unlike the decay $H\to J/ψ+ γ$, which is dominated by the $γ^*$-$J/ψ$ mixing. We find that the decay branching fractions can be about $2 \times 10^{-5}$ for $H\to c{\bar c}+J/ψ$, and $6 \times 10^{-5}$ for $H\to c{\bar c}+η_c$. We comment on the perspective of searching for the Higgs boson to $J/ψ$ transition at the High-Luminosity LHC for testing the charm-quark Yukawa coupling.

description: Cosmologies with Light Massive Relics (LiMRs) as a subdominant component of the dark sector are well-motivated from a particle physics perspective, and can also have implications for the $σ_8$ tension between early and late time probes of matter clustering. The effects of LiMRs on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and structure formation on large (linear) scales have been investigated extensively. In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of the effects of LiMRs on smaller, nonlinear scales using cosmological $N$-body simulations; focusing on quantities relevant for photometric galaxy surveys. For most of our study, we use a particular model of nonthermal LiMRs but the methods developed easily generalize to a large class of models of LiMRs -- we explicitly demonstrate this by considering the Dodelson-Widrow form of the velocity distribution. We find that, in general, the effects of LiMR on small scales are distinct from those of a $Λ$CDM universe, even when the value of $σ_8$ is matched between the models. We show that weak lensing measurements around massive clusters, between $\sim 0.1 h^{-1}$Mpc and $\sim 10 h^{-1}$Mpc, should have sufficient signal-to-noise in future surveys to distinguish between $Λ$CDM and LiMR models that are tuned to fit both CMB data and large (linear) scale structure data at late times. Furthermore, we find that different LiMR cosmologies which are indistinguishable by conventional linear probes can be distinguished by these probes if their velocity distributions are sufficiently different. LiMR models can, therefore, be best tested and constrained by jointly analyzing data from CMB and late-time structure formation on both large \textit{and} small scales.

description: Linear algebra operations, which are ubiquitous in machine learning, form major performance bottlenecks. The High-Performance Computing community invests significant effort in the development of architecture-specific optimized kernels, such as those provided by the BLAS and LAPACK libraries, to speed up linear algebra operations. However, end users are progressively less likely to go through the error prone and time-consuming process of directly using said kernels; instead, frameworks such as TensorFlow (TF) and PyTorch (PyT), which facilitate the development of machine learning applications, are becoming more and more popular. Although such frameworks link to BLAS and LAPACK, it is not clear whether or not they make use of linear algebra knowledge to speed up computations. For this reason, in this paper we develop benchmarks to investigate the linear algebra optimization capabilities of TF and PyT. Our analyses reveal that a number of linear algebra optimizations are still missing; for instance, reducing the number of scalar operations by applying the distributive law, and automatically identifying the optimal parenthesization of a matrix chain. In this work, we focus on linear algebra computations in TF and PyT; we both expose opportunities for performance enhancement to the benefit of the developers of the frameworks and provide end users with guidelines on how to achieve performance gains.

description: This paper presents the results of the evaluation of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Fly Ash (FA) blend as a sustainable pavement material. The strength characteristic of RAP-FA blend was determined by Unconfined Compression Strength (UCS) test. The effect of wetting-drying (w-d) cycles on the strength and microstructural changes of this material was also investigated. The micro-structure of the compound pavement material was analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The leachability of the heavy metals is measured by Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and compared with international standards. Test results show that the compacted RAP-FA blend can be used as a base course material as its UCS values meet the minimum strength requirement specified by national road authorities of Thailand. The durability test results show that the UCS of RAP-FA blend increases with increasing the number of w-d cycles (C), reaching its peak at 6 w-d cycles. The XRD and SEM analyses indicate that the increased UCS of RAP-FA blend is due to stimulation of the chemical reaction between the high amount of Calcium in RAP and the high amount of Silica and Alumina in FA during w-d cycles leading to production of more Calcium (Aluminate) Silicate Hydrate [C-(A)-S -H]. For C > 6, the significant macro- and micro-cracks developed during w-d cycles cause strength reduction. The TCLP results demonstrate that there is no environmental risk for RAP-FA blend in road construction. The outcome from this research confirms the viability of using RAP-FA blend as alternative sustainable pavement materials.

After showing that all axioms of affine geometry are verified, we define a projective plane over Okubo algebra as completion of the affine plane and directly through the use of Veronese coordinates. We then present a bijection between the two constructions. Finally we show a geometric interpretation of Spin(O) as the group of collineations that preserve the axis of the plane.

description: It has become common knowledge that phonons can generate thermal Hall effect in a wide variety of materials, although the underlying mechanism is still controversial. We study longitudinal $κ_{xx}$ and transverse $κ_{xy}$ thermal conductivity in Pr$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, which is a metallic analogue of spin ice. Despite the presence of mobile charge carriers, we find that both $κ_{xx}$ and $κ_{xy}$ are dominated by phonons. A $T/H$ scaling of $κ_{xx}$ unambiguously reveals that longitudinal heat current is substantially impeded by resonant scattering of phonons on paramagnetic spins. Upon cooling, the resonant scattering is strongly affected by a development of spin ice correlation and $κ_{xx}$ deviates from the scaling in an anisotropic way with respect to field directions. Strikingly, a set of the $κ_{xx}$ and $κ_{xy}$ data clearly shows that $κ_{xy}$ correlates with $κ_{xx}$ in its response to magnetic field including a success of the $T/H$ scaling and its failure at low temperature. This remarkable correlation provides solid evidence that an indispensable role is played by spin-phonon scattering not only for hindering the longitudinal heat conduction, but also for generating the transverse response.

description: It has been demonstrated in recent years that pulsed, infrared laser light can be used to elicit electrical responses in neural tissue, independent of any further modification of the target tissue. Infrared neural stimulation has been reported in a variety of peripheral and sensory neural tissue in vivo, with particular interest shown in stimulation of neurons in the auditory nerve. However, while INS has been shown to work in these settings, the mechanism (or mechanisms) by which infrared light causes neural excitation is currently not well understood. The protocol presented here describes a whole cell patch clamp method designed to facilitate the investigation of infrared neural stimulation in cultured primary auditory neurons. By thoroughly characterizing the response of these cells to infrared laser illumination in vitro under controlled conditions, it may be possible to gain an improved understanding of the fundamental physical and biochemical processes underlying infrared neural stimulation.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN CHILDREN
Creators: name: Usmonova, Feruza
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Knowledge of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of an antibacterial drug is critical for optimizing the dosage regimen. The strategy of individual selection of the dosage regimen taking into account the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics can be especially effective in patients with expectedly altered pharmacokinetic parameters and in infections caused by bacterial strains with low sensitivity to antibiotics. The review presents current concepts of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of antibacterial drugs most frequently used in pediatrics and their relationship with the clinical efficacy of the therapy.

description: Incorporating solid-state quantum emitters into optical fiber networks enables the long-distance transmission of quantum information and the remote connection of distributed quantum nodes. However, interfacing quantum emitters with fiber optics encounters several challenges, including low coupling efficiency and stability. Here, we demonstrate a highly efficient fiber-interfacing photonic device that directly launches single photons from quantum dots into a standard FC/PC-connectorized single-mode fiber (SMF28). Optimally designed photonic structures based on hole gratings produce an ultra-narrow directional beam that matches the small numerical aperture of a single-mode fiber. A pick-and-place technique selectively integrates a single miniaturized device into the core of the fiber. Our approach realizes a plug-and-play single-photon device that does not require any optical alignment and thus guarantees long-term stability. The results thus represent a major step toward practical and reliable quantum lights across a fiber network.

description: Collective variable-based enhanced sampling methods are routinely used on systems with metastable states, where high free energy barriers impede proper sampling of the free energy landscapes when using conventional molecular dynamics simulations. One such method is variationally enhanced sampling (VES), which is based on a variational principle where a bias potential in the space of some chosen slow degrees of freedom, or collective variables, is constructed by minimizing a convex functional. In practice, the bias potential is taken as a linear expansion in some basis function set. So far, primarily basis functions delocalized in the collective variable space, like plane waves, Chebyshev, or Legendre polynomials, have been used. However, there has not been an extensive study of how the convergence behavior is affected by the choice of the basis functions. In particular, it remains an open question if localized basis functions might perform better. In this work, we implement, tune, and validate Daubechies wavelets as basis functions for VES\@. The wavelets construct orthogonal and localized bases that exhibit an attractive multiresolution property. We evaluate the performance of wavelet and other basis functions on various systems, going from model potentials to the calcium carbonate association process in water. We observe that wavelets exhibit excellent performance and much more robust convergence behavior than all other basis functions, as well as better performance than metadynamics. In particular, using wavelet bases yields far smaller fluctuations of the bias potential within individual runs and smaller differences between independent runs. Based on our overall results, we can recommend wavelets as basis functions for VES.

description: BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability in developed nations. In Australia it afflicts 16.5% of the adult population. Total joint arthroplasty is considered the treatment of choice for end stage osteoarthritis. The number of total joint arthroplasties undertaken in Australia has doubled over the last decade (more than 80,000 procedures in 2011). The incidence of pre-operative psychological distress in this group of patients is reported between 30% and 60% and pre-operative psychological distress is associated with poorer pain and functional outcomes after surgery. This study will use a mindfulness-based psychological intervention to enhance outcomes in people undergoing total joint arthroplasty and, in addition, will test hypotheses about coping with chronic illness in an aged population. This study is the first of its kind and will provide a greater understanding of the role of a mental health enhancement program on the physical recovery of total joint arthroplasty patients. METHODS/DESIGN: One hundred and fifty people with end-stage arthritis on the waiting list for total hip or knee arthroplasty will be recruited and randomly allocated to one of two groups using computer-generated block randomisation. A randomised controlled trial adhering to CONSORT guidelines will evaluate the efficacy of a mindfulness training program (weekly group-based classes in mindfulness practice, 2 ½ hours, for 8 weeks plus a 7-hour Saturday session in Week 6) prior to total joint arthroplasty, compared to a 'standard care' group who will undergo routine total joint arthroplasty. Primary outcomes will be evaluated by a blinded examiner at baseline, 3 and 12 months post-surgery, using a validated self-reported pain and physical function scale. Secondary outcomes will include i) a range of validated measures of psychological wellbeing and ii) health economic analysis. All analyses will be conducted on an intention to treat basis using linear regression models. Health economic modelling will be applied to estimate the potential cost-effectiveness of mindfulness training and total joint arthroplasty.

Osmia (Nothosomia) michiganensis Mitchell, 1962: 92 (New synonymy; Michigan holotype; Fig. 20)
Holotype. ♂ USA: Michigan: Grand Traverse Co.: 27 May 1950, R.R. Dreisbach (USNM ENT 00536966) (on indefinite loan from NCSU).
County records: Dickinson, Grand Traverse.
Notes. Osmia subarctica is poorly known due to its northern range and past taxonomic confusion. Osmia subarctica was treated as a synonym of O. tersula Cockerell by Sandhouse (Sandhouse 1939) based on the identical locality information (“Hudson’s Bay, 44-17”, types deposited at the Natural History Museum, London) and apparent large impunctate margins of the metasomal terga shared by both species and this synonymy was followed by Hurd (1979). However, upon closer inspection of the holotype of O. subarctica by MGR, there are actually fine punctures that narrow the true impunctate margin of the terga. More importantly, the punctures of the clypeus and the curvature of the hind tibial spur are both different from what is found in females of O. tersula. In O. subarctica, the interspaces between the punctures of the clypeus are raised and the punctures themselves are elongated, giving the entire clypeus a wrinkled look, while in O. tersula the interspaces are flat and the punctures are round. In O. subarctica, the hind tibial spur is moderately thick, but strongly curved on its apical fifth, while in O. tersula the hind tibial spur is slightly thinner and the much less strongly curved apically. Mitchell (1962) described O. michiganensis based on a single male specimen and there are few subsequent records. Earlier specimens recognized by Mike Arduser as O. michiganensis are not O. subarctica (M. Arduser, in litt.), but rather belong to O. aff. trevoris, which follows below. A published record of O. michiganensis from Jackson Co., Michigan (Fiedler et al. 2012) was a misidentified O. atriventris. The first report of this species outside of Michigan is from the Apostle Islands in far northern Wisconsin, by S. Droege (in litt. 2010).
