description: Recently, from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of one of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) events taken 6.3 years after the original lensing measurement, Alcock et al. were able to directly image the lens. Although the first resolved lens was identified for an LMC event, much more numerous lenses are expected to be resolved for Galactic bulge events. In this paper, we estimate the fraction of Galactic bulge events whose lenses can be directly imaged under the assumption that all bulge events are caused by normal stars. For this determination, we compute the distribution of lens proper motions of the currently detected Galactic bulge events based on standard models of the geometrical and kinematical distributions of lenses and their mass function. We then apply realistic criteria for lens resolution, and the result is presented as a function of the time elapsed after an original lensing measurement, $Δt$. If followup observations are performed by using an instrument with a resolving power of θ_{PSF}=0.1'', which corresponds to that of HST equipped with the new Advanced Camera for Surveys, we estimate that lenses can be resolved for ~ 3% and 22% of disk-bulge events and for ~0.3% and 6% of bulge self-lensing events after $Δt=10$ and 20 years, respectively. The fraction increases substantially with the increase of the resolving power. If the instrument has a resolution of θ_{PSF}=0.05'', which can be achieved by the {\it Next Generation Space Telescope}, we estimate that lenses can be resolved for $\sim 22%$ and 45% of disk-bulge events and for ~6% and 23% of bulge self-lensing events after Δt=10 and 20 years, respectively.

description: We present two approaches for coarse-graining interplanar potentials and determining the corresponding macroscopic cohesive laws based on energy relaxation and the renormalization group. We analyze the cohesive behavior of a large---but finite---number of interatomic planes and find that the macroscopic cohesive law adopts a universal asymptotic form. The universal form of the macroscopic cohesive law is an attractive fixed point of a suitably-defined renormalization-group transformation.

description: We examine the influence of exact Lorentz-violating symmetry mechanism on the radiative quantum corrections to the critical exponents for massless $q$-deformed O($N$) $λϕ^{4}$ scalar field theories. For that, we employ three different and independent field-theoretic renormalization group methods for computing analytically the $q$-deformed critical exponents up to next-to-leading order. Then we generalize the former finite loop level results for any loop order. We show that the Lorentz-violating $q$-deformed critical exponents, obtained through the three methods, turn out to be identical and furthermore the same as their Lorentz-invariant $q$-deformed ones. We argue that this result is in accordance with the universality hypothesis.

Healthcare
COVID-19

description: Funder: University of Cambridge
description: Abstract: The COVID-19 global pandemic is a threat not only to the health of millions of individuals, but also to the stability of infrastructure and economies around the world. The disease will inevitably place an overwhelming burden on healthcare systems that cannot be effectively dealt with by existing facilities or responses based on conventional approaches. We believe that a rigorous clinical and societal response can only be mounted by using intelligence derived from a variety of data sources to better utilize scarce healthcare resources, provide personalized patient management plans, inform policy, and expedite clinical trials. In this paper, we introduce five of the most important challenges in responding to COVID-19 and show how each of them can be addressed by recent developments in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). We argue that the integration of these techniques into local, national, and international healthcare systems will save lives, and propose specific methods by which implementation can happen swiftly and efficiently. We offer to extend these resources and knowledge to assist policymakers seeking to implement these techniques.

description: Background: Understanding the T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 is critical to vaccine development, epidemiological surveillance and disease control strategies. This systematic review critically evaluates and synthesises the relevant peer-reviewed and pre-print literature published from 01/01/2020-26/06/2020. Methods: For this systematic review, keyword-structured literature searches were carried out in MEDLINE, Embase and COVID-19 Primer. Papers were independently screened by two researchers, with arbitration of disagreements by a third researcher. Data were independently extracted into a pre-designed Excel template and studies critically appraised using a modified version of the MetaQAT tool, with resolution of disagreements by consensus. Findings were narratively synthesised. Results: 61 articles were included. 55 (90%) studies used observational designs, 50 (82%) involved hospitalised patients with higher acuity illness, and the majority had important limitations. Symptomatic adult COVID-19 cases consistently show peripheral T cell lymphopenia, which positively correlates with increased disease severity, duration of RNA positivity, and non-survival; while asymptomatic and paediatric cases display preserved counts. People with severe or critical disease generally develop more robust, virus-specific T cell responses. T cell memory and effector function has been demonstrated against multiple viral epitopes, and, cross-reactive T cell responses have been demonstrated in unexposed and uninfected adults, but the significance for protection and susceptibility, respectively, remains unclear. Conclusion: A complex pattern of T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 infection has been demonstrated, but inferences regarding population level immunity are hampered by significant methodological limitations and heterogeneity between studies, as well as a striking lack of research in asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic individuals. In contrast to antibody responses, population-level surveillance of the T cell response is unlikely to be feasible in the near term. Focused evaluation in specific sub-groups, including vaccine recipients, should be prioritised.

description: We show that the presence and the location of first order phase transitions in a thermodynamic system can be deduced by the study of the topology of the potential energy function, V(q), without introducing any thermodynamic measure. In particular, we present the thermodynamics of an analytically solvable mean-field model with a k-body interaction which -depending on the value of k- displays no transition (k=1), second order (k=2) or first order (k>2) phase transition. This rich behavior is quantitatively retrieved by the investigation of a topological invariant, the Euler characteristic, of some submanifolds of the configuration space. Finally, we conjecture a direct link between the Euler characteristic and the thermodynamic entropy.

Kramers, J.C. Slater and W. Heisenberg are recollected; Bohr's changing point of view is traced back to some philosophical antecedents and to his endeavour to deduce quantum results from the Correspondence Principle. Some consequences for the future interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, specially to the Complementarity Principle, are considered.

description: Motion stages are widely used for precision positioning in manufacturing and metrology applications. However, they suffer from nonlinear premotion (i.e. "static") friction, which adversely affects their speed and motion precision. In this article, a friction isolator is used as a simple and robust solution to mitigate the undesirable effects of premotion friction in precision motion stages. For the first time, a theoretical study is carried out to understand the dynamic phenomena associated with using a friction isolator on a motion stage. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are conducted to examine the dynamical effects of friction isolator on a proportional-integral-derivative-controlled motion stage under LuGre friction dynamics. The influence of friction isolator on the response and stability of the system is examined through theoretical and numerical analyses. Parametric analysis is also carried out to study the effects of friction isolator and friction parameters on the eigenvalue and stability characteristics. The numerical results validate the theoretical findings and demonstrate several other interesting nonlinear phenomena associated with the introduction of friction isolator. This motivates deeper nonlinear dynamical analyses of friction isolator for precision motion control.

On the thermodynamic stability conditions of Tsallis' entropy

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The thermodynamic stability condition (TSC) of Tsallis' entropy is revisited. As Ramshaw [Phys. Lett. A {\bf 198} (1995) 119] has already pointed out, the concavity of Tsallis' entropy with respect to the internal energy is not sufficient to guarantee thermodynamic stability for all values of $q$ due to the non-additivity of Tsallis' entropy. Taking account of the non-additivity the differential form of the TSC for Tsallis entropy is explicitly derived. It is shown that the resultant TSC for Tsallis' entropy is equivalent to the positivity of the standard specific heat. These results are consistent with the relation between Tsallis and Rényi entropies.

description: A variant of the ADT method for the determination of gravitational charges as integrals at infinity is applied to "Chern-Simons-like" theories of 3D gravity, and the result is used to find the mass and angular momentum of the BTZ black hole considered as a solution of a variety of massive 3D gravity field equations. The results agree with many obtained previously by other methods, including our own results for "Minimal Massive Gravity", but they disagree with others, including recently reported results for "Exotic Massive Gravity". We also find the central charges of the asymptotic conformal symmetry algebra for the generic 3D gravity model with AdS vacuum and discuss implications for black hole thermodynamics.

description: Hollands and Wald's technique based on *-algebras of Wick products of field operators is strightforwardly generalized to define the stress-energy tensor operator in curved globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In particular, the locality and covariance requirement is generalized to Wick products of differentiated quantum fields. The proposed stress-energy tensor operator is conserved and reduces to the classical form if field operators are replaced by classical fields satisfying the equation of motion. The definition is based on the existence of convenient counterterms given by certain local Wick products of differentiated fields. They are independent from the arbitrary length scale (and any quantum state) and they classically vanish on solutions of field equation. The averaged stress-energy tensor with respect to Hadamard quantum states can be obtained by an improved point-splitting renormalization procedure which makes use of the nonambiguous part of the Hadamard parametrix only that is completely determined by the local geometry and the parameters which appear in the Klein-Gordon operator. The averaged stress-energy tensor also coincides with that found by employing the local $ζ$-function approach.

description: Mobile devices with rich features can record videos, traffic parameters or air quality readings along user trajectories. Although such data may be valuable, users are seldom rewarded for collecting them. Emerging digital marketplaces allow owners to advertise their data to interested buyers. We focus on geo-marketplaces, where buyers search data based on geo-tags. Such marketplaces present significant challenges. First, if owners upload data with revealed geo-tags, they expose themselves to serious privacy risks. Second, owners must be accountable for advertised data, and must not be allowed to subsequently alter geo-tags. Third, such a system may be vulnerable to intensive spam activities, where dishonest owners flood the system with fake advertisements. We propose a geo-marketplace that addresses all these concerns. We employ searchable encryption, digital commitments, and blockchain to protect the location privacy of owners while at the same time incorporating accountability and spam-resilience mechanisms. We implement a prototype with two alternative designs that obtain distinct trade-offs between trust assumptions and performance. Our experiments on real location data show that one can achieve the above design goals with practical performance and reasonable financial overhead.

description: Abstract: Background: Offspring of women with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of fetal growth patterns which are associated with perinatal morbidity. Our aim was to compare rates of large- and small-for-gestational age (LGA; SGA) defined according to different criteria, using data from the Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Type 1 Diabetes Pregnancy Trial (CONCEPTT). Methods: This was a pre-specified analysis of CONCEPTT involving 225 pregnant women and liveborn infants from 31 international centres (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01788527; registered 11/2/2013). Infants were weighed immediately at birth and GROW, INTERGROWTH and WHO centiles were calculated. Relative risk ratios, sensitivity and specificity were used to assess the different growth standards with respect to perinatal outcomes, including neonatal hypoglycaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia, respiratory distress, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission and a composite neonatal outcome. Results: Accelerated fetal growth was common, with mean birthweight percentiles of 82.1, 85.7 and 63.9 and LGA rates of 62, 67 and 30% using GROW, INTERGROWTH and WHO standards respectively. Corresponding rates of SGA were 2.2, 1.3 and 8.9% respectively. LGA defined according to GROW centiles showed stronger associations with preterm delivery, neonatal hypoglycaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia and NICU admission. Infants born > 97.7th centile were at highest risk of complications. SGA defined according to INTERGROWTH centiles showed slightly stronger associations with perinatal outcomes. Conclusions: GROW and INTERGROWTH standards performed similarly and identified similar numbers of neonates with LGA and SGA. GROW-defined LGA and INTERGROWTH-defined SGA had slightly stronger associations with neonatal complications. WHO standards underestimated size in preterm infants and are less applicable for use in type 1 diabetes. Trial registration: This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov. number NCT01788527. Trial registered 11/2/2013.

description: The scaling behavior of cyclical growth (e.g. cycles of alternating deposition and desorption primary processes) is investigated theoretically and probed experimentally. The scaling approach to kinetic roughening is generalized to cyclical processes by substituting the time by the number of cycles $n$. The roughness is predicted to grow as $n^β$ where $β$ is the cyclical growth exponent. The roughness saturates to a value which scales with the system size $L$ as $L^α$, where $α$ is the cyclical roughness exponent. The relations between the cyclical exponents and the corresponding exponents of the primary processes are studied. Exact relations are found for cycles composed of primary linear processes. An approximate renormalization group approach is introduced to analyze non-linear effects in the primary processes. The analytical results are backed by extensive numerical simulations of different pairs of primary processes, both linear and non-linear. Experimentally, silver surfaces are grown by a cyclical process composed of electrodeposition followed by 50% electrodissolution. The roughness is found to increase as a power-law of $n$, consistent with the scaling behavior anticipated theoretically. Potential applications of cyclical scaling include accelerated testing of rechargeable batteries, and improved chemotherapeutic treatment of cancerous tumors.

description: Abstract: Mitochondrial complex I is central to the pathological reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that underlies cardiac ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury. ND6-P25L mice are homoplasmic for a disease-causing mtDNA point mutation encoding the P25L substitution in the ND6 subunit of complex I. The cryo-EM structure of ND6-P25L complex I revealed subtle structural changes that facilitate rapid conversion to the “deactive” state, usually formed only after prolonged inactivity. Despite its tendency to adopt the “deactive” state, the mutant complex is fully active for NADH oxidation, but cannot generate ROS by reverse electron transfer (RET). ND6-P25L mitochondria function normally, except for their lack of RET ROS production, and ND6-P25L mice are protected against cardiac IR injury in vivo. Thus, this single point mutation in complex I, which does not affect oxidative phosphorylation but renders the complex unable to catalyse RET, demonstrates the pathological role of ROS production by RET during IR injury.

description: We discuss several scenarios for the creation of nonlocal spin-entangled electrons which provide a source of electronic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs. The central idea is to exploit the spin correlations naturally present in superconductors in form of Cooper pairs. We show that nonlocal spin-entanglement in form of an effective Heisenberg spin interaction is induced between electron spins residing on two quantum dots with no direct coupling between them but each of them being tunnel-coupled to the same superconductor. We then discuss a nonequilibrium setup where mobile and nonlocal spin-entanglement can be created by coherent injection of two electrons in an Andreev tunneling process into two spatially separated quantum dots and subsequently into two Fermi-liquid leads. The current for injecting two spin-entangled electrons into different leads shows a resonance whereas tunneling via the same dot into the same lead is suppressed by the Coulomb blockade effect of the quantum dots. The Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the current are shown to contain h/e and h/2e periods. Finally we discuss a structure consisting of a superconductor weakly coupled to two separate Luttinger liquid leads. We show that strong correlations again suppress the coherent subsequent tunneling of two electrons into the same lead, thus generating again nonlocal spin-entangled electrons.

description: We construct a deformed adS-Einstein-Born-Infeld black hole from noncommutative gauge theory of gravity and determine the metric coefficients up to second order on the noncommutative parameter. We analyse the modifications on the thermodynamical properties of the black hole due to the noncommutative contributions, and we show that noncommutativity has as a direct consequence, the removal of critical points.

description: It is shown that metric representation of DNA sequences is one-to-one. By using the metric representation method, suppression of nucleotide strings in the DNA sequences is determined. For a DNA sequence, an optimal string length to display genomic signature in chaos game representation is obtained by eliminating effects of the finite sequence. The optical string length is further shown as a self- similarity limit in computing information dimension. By using the method, self-similarity limits of bacteria complete genomic signatures are further determined.

description: We consider the problem of segmenting an image into superpixels in the context of $k$-means clustering, in which we wish to decompose an image into local, homogeneous regions corresponding to the underlying objects. Our novel approach builds upon the widely used Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC), and incorporate a measure of objects' structure based on the spectral residual of an image. Based on this combination, we propose a modified initialisation scheme and search metric, which helps keeps fine-details. This combination leads to better adherence to object boundaries, while preventing unnecessary segmentation of large, uniform areas, while remaining computationally tractable in comparison to other methods. We demonstrate through numerical and visual experiments that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques.

description: Abstract: Significant efforts have been devoted in the last twenty years to developing compounds that can interfere with the aggregation pathways of proteins related to misfolding disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, no disease-modifying drug has become available for clinical use to date for these conditions. One of the main reasons for this failure is the incomplete knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying the process by which small molecules interact with protein aggregates and interfere with their aggregation pathways. Here, we leverage the single molecule morphological and chemical sensitivity of infrared nanospectroscopy to provide the first direct measurement of the structure and interaction between single Aβ42 oligomeric and fibrillar species and an aggregation inhibitor, bexarotene, which is able to prevent Aβ42 aggregation in vitro and reverses its neurotoxicity in cell and animal models of Alzheimer’s disease. Our results demonstrate that the carboxyl group of this compound interacts with Aβ42 aggregates through a single hydrogen bond. These results establish infrared nanospectroscopy as a powerful tool in structure-based drug discovery for protein misfolding diseases.

description: The linear response description for impurity diffusion in a granular fluid undergoing homogeneous cooling is developed in the preceeding paper. The formally exact Einstein and Green-Kubo expressions for the self-diffusion coefficient are evaluated there from an approximation to the velocity autocorrelation function. These results are compared here to those from molecular dynamics simulations over a wide range of density and inelasticity, for the particular case of self-diffusion. It is found that the approximate theory is in good agreement with simulation data up to moderate densities and degrees of inelasticity. At higher density, the effects of inelasticity are stronger, leading to a significant enhancement of the diffusion coefficient over its value for elastic collisions. Possible explanations associated with an unstable long wavelength shear mode are explored, including the effects of strong fluctuations and mode coupling.

description: 本研究では、サッカーの状況理解を促すことを目的とした、サッカーの試合における選手の位置関係や動きの情報を可聴化するシステムを試作する。選手の位置関係を把握することは、サッカーの戦況分析に重要なことである。本稿では、初心者にも直感的にサッカーの理解を促すことを目標とし、ボール保持者に対するパスコースの数と向きを音として表現するシステムを試作した。本システムを用いることで、可視化のみの場合よりも対戦状況を効果的に理解できるようになることが期待される。

サッカーの対戦状況を可視化する研究はすでに存在した.一方,サッカー以外の活動の可聴化の研究もすでに数多く存在する.しかし,サッカーの対戦状況を音や音楽で表現する試みは,これまで存在しなかった.アートの世界では,音を可視化したりダンスなどの身体動作を可聴化する試みは広く行われているが,スポーツにおける状況分析を目的としたものではない.

本論文では,ボールを起点として,複数の深さに注目し,パスを受けた選手から広がるパスコースにも着目する.加えて,単なるパスコースだけではなく,選手の瞬間的なスピードや動きに着目して可聴化を行う.実験として,同じシーンの動画を可視化のみの場合と可視化に可聴化を加えた場合で,サッカーに関する質問の正答率にどれほどの差が生まれるのかを比較した.

チーム全体の動きを可聴化したものでは,パスコースの形成のされ方が,フィールドに広く広がっているものと,近い距離に密集しているもので可聴化による理解の度合いに差が生まれた.正しい意図で可聴化結果が伝わった場面では,可聴化により質問の正答率が数10ポイント上がったが,一方で10ポイント以上下がった場面もあった.スピードの速い選手一人の動きのみを可聴化した質問では,可聴化を加えたことによる正答率はすべての問題で上昇した.本論文では選手の位置座標のみを用いており,選手の体の向きやボールの接地状況などは加味されていないため,可聴化を行う上での着目点を増やすことでより詳細にチームや選手の状況を音に変えることが次なる目標である.

description: Abstract: BK virus associated nephropathy (BKN) is an important cause of kidney allograft failure. In a cohort of paediatric kidney transplant recipients, we aimed to understand the incidence and clinical outcome associated with BKN, as well as identify risk factors for BKN and BK viraemia development. We retrospectively analysed all patients who received a kidney transplant and received follow up care in our centre between 2009–2019. Among 106 patients included in the study (mean follow up 4.5 years), 32/106 (30.2%) patients experienced BK viraemia. The incidence of BKN was 7/106 (6.6%). The median time of BK viraemia development post-transplant was 279.5 days compared to 90.0 days for BKN. Development of BKN was associated with younger age at transplantation (p = 0.013). Development of BK viraemia was associated with negative recipient serology for cytomegalovirus (CMV) at time of transplantation (p = 0.012) and a higher net level of immunosuppression (p = 0.039). There was no difference in graft function at latest follow up between those who experienced BKN and those without BKN. This study demonstrates that BK virus infection is associated with younger age at transplantation, CMV negative recipient serostatus and higher levels of immunosuppression. Judicious monitoring of BK viraemia in paediatric transplant recipients, coupled with timely clinical intervention can result in similar long-term outcomes for BKN patients compared to controls.

description: Globalization results when markets become more integrated because of reduced transaction and transport costs. These costs have fallen because of sustained advances in transport technology and, more dramatically, in digital information and communication technology (ICT). Although communication costs tend to be a minor component of total trading costs, reductions in these costs may strongly stimulate international trade. The empirical evidence in support of this effect is, however, scant and its strength may depend on the composition of ICT and the nature of the product being traded. We test the hypothesis of an ICT effect on trade in bananas, oranges, tomatoes, and vegetables and fruit in general. We employ a gravity model of international trade between major exporting and importing countries for the period 1995 to 2009. The model explains the value of trade in terms of export and import countries’ levels of internet and mobile phone penetration, and of a broad range of factors that might also affect bilateral trade. We test whether a fixed effects model or random effects model best suits the data; results suggest a fixed effects model is appropriate. Model results suggest that mobile phone penetration significantly stimulates trade in vegetables and fruit and oranges by exporting countries. , but its impact is less than that of fixed telephone usage which has an unexpected negative influence on banana imports. Internet usage has only a positive effect on trade in imports of tomatoes. Internet usage in exporting countries for fruit and vegetables are negatively associated.
