description: A host of spatially extended systems, both in physics and in other disciplines, are well described at a coarse-grained scale by a Langevin equation with multiplicative-noise. Such systems may exhibit non-equilibrium phase transitions, which can be classified into universality classes. Here we study in detail one of such classes that can be mapped into a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interface equation with a positive (negative) non-linearity in the presence of a bounding lower (upper) wall. The wall limits the possible values taken by the height variable, introducing a lower (upper) cut-off, and induce a phase transition between a pinned (active) and a depinned (absorbing) phase. This transition is studied here using mean field and field theoretical arguments, as well as from a numerical point of view. Its main properties and critical features, as well as some challenging theoretical difficulties, are reported. The differences with other multiplicative noise and bounded-KPZ universality classes are stressed, and the effects caused by the introduction of ``attractive'' walls, relevant in some physical contexts, are also analyzed.

description: The article reevaluates the prevailing historiographical narrative about a crisis of Czech theatre after 1989 and argues that the situation in Czech theatre did not change as dramatically in the early 1990s as commonly assumed. Drawing on analysis of the theatre press of the time, the author discusses the 1990s debates on redefining (social) function of theatre. Using writings of the critic Václav Königsmark as a case study, the author reveals a so-far hidden continuity between the post-1989 Czech thinking on theatre and the Prague School structuralist theory, Jan Mukařovský's concept of the aesthetic function in particular.
Effects of a parallel electromagnetic field in three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model

description: In this work, we explore the ground state of QCD system and the relevant collective modes in a parallel electromagnetic (EM) field within the effective three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. From the features of neutral chiral condensates, three critical EM fields are identified in our study: $e\bar{I}_2^{c_i}~(i=1,2,3)$. Moreover, competition between QCD and QED anomalies is found: the negativeness of $π_{\rm d}^*$ and $π_{\rm s}^*$ is a signal of QCD anomaly dominance for all the flavors, and the positiveness of $π_{\rm s}^*$ beyond $e\bar{I}_2^{c_1}$ indicates QED anomaly dominance for strange quark. For the lowest-lying neutral collective modes, the masses of $Π$ and $H$ modes reduce to zero around the critical EM fields and the scalar-pseudoscalar components are exchanged between $Σ$ and $H$ modes, as can be seen in the crossing structure.

description: The Higgs boson pair production process at hadron collider provides an opportunity for performing a study of the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling. In this paper, we analyze the pair production of a neutral Higgs boson via both gluon-gluon and $b$-$\bar{b}$ fusions in the littlest Higgs (LH) model at the CERN LHC. We find that in some parameter space the relative corrections of the total cross section to the SM prediction may reach a value of 24% when $x ~ (=4 f v'/v^2)=0.95$ at the LHC. We conclude that if the parameter $x$ has a value above 0.8, the relative corrections contributed by the LH model reach values beyond 8% and can be observed at the LHC.

description: A generic form of the supersymmetric SM naturally gives rise to the lepton number violating neutrino masses and mixings, without the need for extra superfields beyond the minimal spectrum. Hence, SUSY can be consider the origin of beyond SM properties of neutrinos. We have developed a formulation under which one can efficiently analyze the model. Various sources of neutrino masses are discussed in details. Such mass contributions come from lepton number and flavor violating couplings that also give rise to a rich phenomenology of the neutrinos and other leptons, to be discussed.

description: The detection of gravitational wave signals by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo enables us to probe the polarization content of gravitational waves. In general relativity, only tensor modes are present, while in a variety of alternative theories one can also have vector or scalar modes. Recently test were performed which compared Bayesian evidences for the hypotheses that either purely tensor, purely vector, or purely scalar polarizations were present. Indeed, with only three detectors in a network and allowing for mixtures of tensor polarizations and alternative polarization states, it is not possible to identify precisely which non-standard polarizations might be in the signal and by what amounts. However, we demonstrate that one can still infer whether, in addition to tensor polarizations, alternative polarizations are present in the first place, irrespective of the detailed polarization content. We develop two methods to do this for sources with electromagnetic counterparts, both based on the so-called null stream. Apart from being able to detect mixtures of tensor and alternative polarizations, these have the added advantage that no waveform models are needed, and signals from any kind of transient source with known sky position can be used. Both formalisms allow us to combine information from multiple sources so as to arrive at increasingly more stringent bounds. For now we apply these on the binary neutron star signal GW170817, showing consistency with the tensor-only hypothesis with p-values of 0.315 and 0.790 for the two methods.

description: We investigate a "hypernova" model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), i.e., massive C+O star model with relativistic jets. In this model, non-thermal precursors can be produced by the "first" relativistic shell ejected from the star. Main GRBs are produced behind the "first"-shell by the collisions of several relativistic shells. They become visible to distant observers after the colliding region becomes optically thin. We examine six selected conditions using relativistic hydrodynamical simulations and simple analyses. Interestingly, our simulations show that sub-relativistic $(v \sim 0.8c)$ jets from the central engine is sufficient to produce highly-relativistic $(Γ> 100)$ shells. We find that the relativistic shells from such a star can reproduce observed GRBs with certain conditions. Two conditions are especially important. One is the sufficiently long duration of the central engine $ \gsim 100$ sec. The other is the existence of a dense-shell somewhere behind the "first"-shell. Under these conditions, both the existence and non-existence of precursors, and long delay between precursors and main GRBs can be explained.

description: Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation is one of the most important location-based services helping people discover interesting venues or services. However, the extreme user-POI matrix sparsity and the varying spatio-temporal context pose challenges for POI systems, which affects the quality of POI recommendations. To this end, we propose a translation-based relation embedding for POI recommendation. Our approach encodes the temporal and geographic information, as well as semantic contents effectively in a low-dimensional relation space by using Knowledge Graph Embedding techniques. To further alleviate the issue of user-POI matrix sparsity, a combined matrix factorization framework is built on a user-POI graph to enhance the inference of dynamic personal interests by exploiting the side-information. Experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.

Extending an argument of Macpherson and Neumann, it is shown that if U is a generating set for S as a group, respectively as a monoid, then there exists a positive integer n such that every element of S may be written as a group word, respectively a monoid word, of length \leq n in the elements of U. Several related questions are noted, and a brief proof is given of a result of Ore's on commutators that is used in the proof of the above result.

description: We present a numerical method to simulate the time evolution, according to a Hamiltonian made of local interactions, of quantum spin chains and systems alike. The efficiency of the scheme depends on the amount of the entanglement involved in the simulated evolution. Numerical analysis indicate that this method can be used, for instance, to efficiently compute time-dependent properties of low-energy dynamics of sufficiently regular but otherwise arbitrary one-dimensional quantum many-body systems.

description: With one exception, all known non-supersymmetric AdS$_4$ and AdS$_5$ vacua of gauged maximal supergravities that descend from string and M theory have been shown to have modes with mass below the BF bound. The remaining non-supersymmetric AdS solution is perturbatively stable within gauged maximal supergravity, and hence appears to contradict recent conjectures about the AdS stability based on the weak gravity conjecture. We show that this solution is actually unstable by exhibiting a new decay channel, which is only visible when the solution is uplifted to eleven dimensions. In particular, M2 brane probes at generic locations inside the internal manifold are attracted to the Poincaré horizon, only to be expelled as "brane jets" along certain directions of the internal manifold. Such instabilities can arise in any non-supersymmetric AdS vacuum in any dimension. When a brane-jet instability is present, the force that expels the branes is the same as the force felt by a probe brane whose mass is less than its charge.

Robustness of exceptional-point-based sensors against parametric noise: The role of Hamiltonian and Liouvillian degeneracies

description: Recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of exploiting spectral singularities in open quantum and wave systems, so-called exceptional points, for sensors with strongly enhanced sensitivity. Here, we study theoretically the influence of classical parametric noise on the performance of such sensors. Within a Lindblad-type formalism for stochastic Hamiltonians we discuss the resolvability of frequency splittings and the dynamical stability of the sensor, and show that these properties are interrelated. Of central importance are the different features of exceptional points in the spectra of the Hamiltonian and the corresponding Liouvillian. Two realistic examples, a parity-time-symmetric dimer and a whispering-gallery microcavity with asymmetric backscattering, illustrate the findings.

description: An increasing number of studies is proving the efficacy of Internet-based interventions (IBI) for treating depression. While the focus of most studies is thereby lying on the potential of IBI to alleviate emotional distress and enhance well-being, few studies are investigating possible negative effects that might be encountered by participants. The current study was therefore exploring self-reported negative effects of participants undergoing a cognitive-behavioral IBI targeting mild to moderate depression over 6 weeks. Data from the client pool of a German insurance company (n = 814, 68% female) revealed that 8.6% of the participants reported the experience of negative effects. Qualitative content analysis yielded two broad categories and five subcategories for the nature of participants' experiences of negative effects: participant-related negative effects (insight and symptom) and program-related negative effects (online format, contact, and implementation). By using both, qualitative and quantitative methods, results did not only shed light on the characteristics of negative effects but analyses also found that working alliance was a predictor for the experience of negative effects. Monitoring the occurrences of negative effects as well as working alliance throughout treatment was considered essential to help prevent negative effects and attrition among participants undergoing IBI for depression.

AbstractClascoterone 1% cream (Winlevi®) is an androgen receptor inhibitor approved for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients aged ≥12 years in the USA. It is believed to compete with androgens (specifically Dihydrotestosterone) in binding to androgen receptors, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling of acnegenic pathways. In clinical trials, application of clascoterone 1% cream twice daily for 12 weeks was effective and generally well tolerated in acne vulgaris patients, with a tolerability profile similar to that of the vehicle.

description: A network growth mechanism based on a two-step preferential rule is investigated as a model of network growth in which no global knowledge of the network is required. In the first filtering step a subset of fixed size $m$ of existing nodes is randomly chosen. In the second step the preferential rule of attachment is applied to the chosen subset. The characteristics of thus formed networks are explored using two approaches: computer simulations of network growth and a theoretical description based on a master equation. The results of the two approaches are in excellent agreement. Special emphasis is put on the investigation of the node degree probability distribution. It is found that the tail of the distribution has the exponential form given by $exp(-k/m)$. Implications of the node degree distribution with such tail characteristics are briefly discussed.

description: The problem of the thermal and magnetic destruction of the critical state in composite superconductors is investigated. The initial distributions of temperature and electromagnetic field are assumed to be essentially inhomogeneous. The limit of the thermomagnetic instability in quasi-stationary approximation is determined. The obtained integral criterion, unlike the analogous criterion for a homogeneous temperature profile, is shown to take into account the influence of any part of the superconductor on the threshold for critical-state instability.

description: I propose a xed eects expectation-maximization (EM) estimator that can be applied to a class of nonlinear panel data models with unobserved heterogeneity, which is modeled as individual eects and/or time eects. Of particular interest is the case of interactive eects, i.e. when the unobserved heterogeneity is modeled as a factor analytical structure. The estimator is obtained through a computationally simple, iterative two-step procedure, where the two steps have closed form solutions. I show that estimator is consistent in large panels and derive the asymptotic distribution for the case of the probit with interactive eects. I develop analytical bias corrections to deal with the incidental parameter problem. Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate that the proposed estimator has good nite-sample properties.

description: Using a perturbative argument, we show that in any finite region containing the lowest transverse eigenmode, the spectrum of a periodically curved smooth Dirichlet tube in two or three dimensions is absolutely continuous provided the tube is sufficiently thin. In a similar way we demonstrate absolute continuity at the bottom of the spectrum for generalized Schrödinger operators with a sufficiently strongly attractive $δ$ interaction supported by a periodic curve in $\mathbb{R}^d, d=2,3$.

description: We use top-down holography to study the thermodynamics of a one-parameter family of three-dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with M-theory duals. For generic values of the parameter, the theories exhibit a mass gap but no confinement, meaning no linear quark-antiquark potential. For two specific values of the parameter they flow to an infrared fixed point or to a confining vacuum, respectively. As in the Klebanov-Strassler solution, on the gravity side the mass gap is generated by the smooth collapse to zero size of a cycle in the internal geometry. We uncover a rich phase diagram with thermal phase transitions of first and second order, a triple point and a critical point.

title: Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Technology For Investigating Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy Due To Lamin A/C Mutations
Creators: name: Crasto, Silvia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: Mutations of LMNA gene, encoding the proteins Lamin A and C, are common causes of familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), typically manifesting in association with cardiac conduction defects. LaminA/C regulate various nuclear functions, including gene transcription and chromatin organization. Most of human studies on LaminA/C so far were conducted on fibroblasts, while those focusing on cardiomyocytes (CMs) are scarce. Thus, we generated a human cardiac model of LMNA-dependent cardiomyopathy (LMNA-CMP) by differentiating CMs from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) carrying the K219T and R190W LMNA mutations (LMNA-CMs). In vitro, these cells recapitulate morphological features of DCM. RNA-sequencing experiments revealed profound differences between control and LMNA-CMs transcriptomes. Remarkably, the main cardiac sodium channel gene (SCN5A), was one of the most downregulated gene. Accordingly, electrophysiological studies in LMNA-CMs showed a significant reduction of the maximal upstroke velocity and the related properties of the action potential, accompanied by a reduction of the peak sodium currents and diminished conduction velocity. Functional experiments also revealed diminished contractile force in LMNA mutated cells. Biochemical studies confirmed the reduction of SCN5A gene, and its encoded protein Nav1.5, and showed an increased binding of LaminA/C to its promoter. A higher deposition of H3K27me3 marker, together with an increased binding of its catalysing complex PRC2, was also found at that genomic locus. Furthermore, 3D-FISH studies indicated a preferential localization of SCN5A gene at the nuclear periphery. Similar findings were obtained in relation to genes of the contractile pathways. Altogether, these data support a mechanism by which LaminA/C influence cardiac function by directly acting on transcriptional regulation of genes that control CMs functionality. Studies conducted on CMs from CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited iPSCs proved the causality between the LMNA mutation and the observed phenotypes.

Finally, experiments for evaluating the efficacy of Remodelin molecule also demonstrated that the generated models are suitable for drug testing.

Solitary Waves in Discrete Media with Four Wave Mixing

Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)

description: In this paper, we examine in detail the principal branches of solutions that arise in vector discrete models with nonlinear inter-component coupling and four wave mixing. The relevant four branches of solutions consist of two single mode branches (transverse electric and transverse magnetic) and two mixed mode branches, involving both components (linearly polarized and elliptically polarized). These solutions are obtained explicitly and their stability is analyzed completely in the anti-continuum limit (where the nodes of the lattice are uncoupled), illustrating the supercritical pitchfork nature of the bifurcations that give rise to the latter two, respectively, from the former two. Then the branches are continued for finite coupling constructing a full two-parameter numerical bifurcation diagram of their existence. Relevant stability ranges and instability regimes are highlighted and, whenever unstable, the solutions are dynamically evolved through direct computations to monitor the development of the corresponding instabilities. Direct connections to the earlier experimental work of Meier et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91}, 143907 (2003)] that motivated the present work are given.

description: We study the output costs of a reduction in monetary growth in a dynamic general equilibrium model with staggered wages. The money wage is fixed for two periods, and is chosen according to intertemporal optimisation. Agents have labour market monopoly power. We show that the introduction of microfoundations helps to resolve the puzzle raised by directly postulated models, namely that disinflation in staggered pricing models causes a boom. In our model disinflation, whether unanticipated or anticipated, unambiguously causes a slump.

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects children and their learning in a variety of ways. ASD is a developmental disorder that is marked by profound deficits in social, language, and cognitive abilities. The core features of ASD are areas in which difficulties can lead to feelings of frustration, confusion, anxiety or lack of control, resulting in behavioural responses. This article offers an overview of the literature, focusing on the effectiveness of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) which used to improve the relationship between parent-children and to reduce noncompliance behaviour in children with ASD. The PCIT is an empirically-supported treatment for conduct-disordered for young children aged two to seven that highlights on improving the quality of the relationship between parents and child and changing inappropriate pattern of parent-child interaction. Early relationships between parents and children have powerful impacts on children's behaviour and emotional development. When parents are responsive and sensitive to child's cues, they contribute to the coordinated back and forth of interaction with the child. This kind of interaction helps children develop self-sense and emotional regulation skills such as self-control and self-calming. Furthermore, in order to help young children to develop lifelong motivation in their self, parents are encouraged to participate in everyday learning and playing activities. Therefore, identifying the most effective intervention parenting programmes for enhancing and rebuilding parent-child relationships through teaching parent the skills necessary for coping with noncompliance behaviour in young children with ASD is crucially important. Overall, the findings of this study demonstrate the potential of PCIT as an early intervention to improve the behavioural functional outcomes of preschool children with ASD.
How does connectivity between cortical areas depend on brain size? Implications for efficient computation

description: A formula for an average connectivity between cortical areas in mammals is derived. Based on comparative neuroanatomical data, it is found, surprisingly, that this connectivity is either only weakly dependent or independent of brain size. It is discussed how this formula can be used to estimate the average length of axons in white matter. Other allometric relations, such as cortical patches and area sizes vs. brain size, are also provided. Finally, some functional implications, with an emphasis on efficient cortical computation, are discussed as well.
