description: This study determined the influence of serum neutralizing antibody titers on infection rate, symptom manifestations, and provoked signs and pathophysiologies in adults experimentally exposed to rhinovirus type 39(RV-39). Antibody status was determined for 151 healthy volunteers who were then cloistered in a hotel for 6 days. At the end of the first cloister day, the volunteers were challenged with RV-39 in a median tissue culture infective dose of 100. On each of the 6 days, a nasal examination was performed, symptoms were scored, and objective tests of nasal mucociliary function, nasal airway patency, secretion production, and middle ear pressures were completed. Both subjects and investigators were blinded to the prechallenge serum homotypic antibody titers of the subjects. Four subjects presented with a wild virus and were excluded from the analysis. Of the 147 included subjects, prechallenge serum antibody titers to RV-39 were low (under 2) in 56 subjects, intermediate (2 to 8) in 51 subjects, and high (above 16) in 40 subjects. The high-titer group was significantly different from the low-titer group with respect to viral shedding, symptom load, subjective extent of illness, and secretion production, as well as in the frequency of subjects with abnormal nasal mucociliary clearance and positive middle ear pressures. The study results document that for experimental RV-39 exposure, high levels of homotypic serum neutralizing antibody titers are associated with protection from infection and a lessened degree of disease expression, but not with a reduction of otologic complications.

description: We define twisted Hochschild homology for Green functors. This construction is the algebraic analogue of the relative topological Hochschild homology $THH_{C_n}(-)$, and it describes the $E_2$ term of the Künneth spectral sequence for relative $THH$. Applied to ordinary rings, we obtain new algebraic invariants. Extending Hesselholt's construction of the Witt vectors of noncommutative rings, we interpret our construction as providing Witt vectors for Green functors.

description: This double-blind study determined the influence of serum neutralizing antibody titers on the rate of infection and magnitude of disease expression after experimental exposure of adult volunteers to rhinovirus strain Hanks (RV-H). A total of 133 healthy volunteers were tested for antibody status, cloistered for a 6-day period, and challenged with RV-H at the end of the first cloister day. On these days, response to viral challenge is assessed with symptom diaries and physical examinations. The low-titer infected group was significantly different from the intermediate-titer infected and the uninfected groups in terms of postchallenge nasal and throat symptoms, expelled secretion weights, nasal mucociliary clearance rates, and frequency of negative middle ear pressures. A similar trend held for the infected high-titer vs. low-titer group comparisons. These data show that high homotypic serum neutralizing antibody titers are associated with protection from infection and lessened signs and symptoms following experimental RV-H exposure.
Asymptotic normalization coefficients from ab initio calculations

description: We present calculations of asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANCs) for one-nucleon removals from nuclear states of mass numbers 3 to 9. Our ANCs were computed from variational Monte Carlo solutions to the many-body Schroedinger equation with the combined Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Urbana IX three-nucleon potentials. Instead of computing explicit overlap integrals, we applied a Green's function method that is insensitive to the difficulties of constructing and Monte Carlo sampling the long-range tails of the variational wave functions. This method also allows computation of the ANC at the physical separation energy, even when it differs from the separation energy for the Hamiltonian. We compare our results, which for most nuclei are the first ab initio calculations of ANCs, with existing experimental and theoretical results and discuss further possible applications of the technique.

description: Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that the superconducting MgB$_2$ with a AlB$_2$-type centrosymmetric lattice host the so-called phononic topological Weyl nodal lines (PTWNLs) on its bulk phonon spectrum. These PTWNLs can be viewed as countless Weyl points (WPs) closely aligned along the straight lines in the $-$H-K-H direction within the three-dimensional Brillouin zone (BZ). Their topological non-trivial natures are confirmed by the calculated Berry curvature distributions on the planes perpendicular to these lines. These lines are highly unique, because they exactly locate at the high-symmetry boundary of the BZ protected by the mirror symmetry and, simultaneously, straightly transverse the whole BZ, in different from known classifications including nodal rings, nodal chains or nets, and nodal loops. On the (10$\bar{1}$0) crystal surface, the PTWNLs-induced drumhead-like non-trivial surface states appear within the rectangular area confined by the projected lines of the PTWNLs with opposite chirality. Moreover, when the mirror symmetry is broken, the double-degenerate PTWNLs are further lifted to form a pair WPs with opposite chirality. Our results pave the ways for future experimental study on topological phonons on MgB$_2$ and highlights similar results in a series of isostructural AlB$_2$-type metallic diborides.

description: A discrimination paradigm was used to detect the influence of phonetic context on speech (experiment 1a) and nonspeech (experiment 1b) stimuli. Results of experiment 1a were consistent with the previously observed phonetic context effect of liquid consonants (/l/ and /r/) on subsequent stop consonant (/g/ and /d/) perception. Experiment 1b demonstrated a context effect of liquid consonants on subsequent nonspeech sounds that were spectrally similar to the stop consonants. The results are consistent with findings that implicate spectral contrast in phonetic context effects.

Self-Organized Criticality as Witten-type Topological Field Theory with Spontaneously Broken Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin Symmetry

description: Here, a scenario is proposed, according to which a generic self-organized critical (SOC) system can be looked upon as a Witten-type topological field theory (W-TFT) with spontaneously broken Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) symmetry. One of the conditions for the SOC is the slow driving noise, which unambiguously suggests Stratonovich interpretation of the corresponding stochastic differential equation (SDE). This, in turn, necessitates the use of Parisi-Sourlas-Wu stochastic quantization procedure, which straightforwardly leads to a model with BRST-exact action, i.e., to a W-TFT. In the parameter space of the SDE, there must exist full-dimensional regions where the BRST-symmetry is spontaneously broken by instantons, which in the context of SOC are essentially avalanches. In these regions, the avalanche-type SOC dynamics is liberated from overwise a rightful dynamics-less W-TFT, and a Goldstone mode of Fadeev-Popov ghosts exists. Goldstinos represent modulii of instantons (avalanches) and being gapless are responsible for the critical avalanche distribution in the low-energy, long-wavelength limit. The above arguments are robust against moderate variations of the SDE's parameters and the criticality is "self-tuned". The proposition of this paper suggests that the machinery of W-TFTs may find its applications in many different areas of modern science studying various physical realizations of SOC. It also suggests that there may in principle exist a connection between some of SOC's and the concept of topological quantum computing.

description: This paper will begin with an examination of the role of pragmatic patterns in the syntax of two Hungarian children, Moni and Zoli, and will conclude with a comparison of these data with results form other languages. It will be necessary to consider both wordbased and pragmatic patterns, since some word combinations what appear to be pragmatic may actually be word-based. Despite various methodological difficulties involved in the study of the learning of pragmatic patterns based on expressive focusing and logical focusing (MacWhinney, 1975), these patterns are central to Hungarian syntax (Dezs¨ø, 1972) and must somehow be learned by the child

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The three fundamental geometric components of Yang-Mills theory -gauge field, gauge fixing and ghost field- are unified in a new object: an extended connection in a properly chosen principal fiber bundle. To do this, it is necessary to generalize the notion of gauge fixing by using a gauge fixing connection instead of a section. From the equations for the extended connection's curvature, we derive the relevant BRST transformations without imposing the usual horizontality conditions. We show that the gauge field's standard BRST transformation is only valid in a local trivialization and we obtain the corresponding global generalization. By using the Faddeev-Popov method, we apply the generalized gauge fixing to the path integral quantization of Yang-Mills theory. We show that the proposed gauge fixing can be used even in the presence of a Gribov's obstruction.

description: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit superior performance in visual search compared to others. However, most studies demonstrating this advantage have employed simple, uncluttered images with fully visible targets. We compare the performance of high-functioning adults with ASD and matched controls on a naturalistic luggage screening task. Although the two groups were equally accurate in detecting targets, the ASD adults improve in their correct elimination of target-absent bags faster than controls. This feature of their behavior is extremely important for many real-world monitoring tasks that require sustained attention for long time periods. Further analyses suggest that this improvement is attributable neither to the motor speed nor to the level of intelligence of the adults with ASD. These findings may have possible implications for employment opportunities of adult individuals with ASD.

description: We use the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue to identify six new pieces of halo substructure. SDSS-Gaia is an astrometric catalogue that exploits SDSS data release 9 to provide first epoch photometry for objects in the Gaia source catalogue. We use a version of the catalogue containing $245\,316$ stars with all phase space coordinates within a heliocentric distance of $\sim 10$ kpc. We devise a method to assess the significance of halo substructures based on their clustering in velocity space. The two most substantial structures are multiple wraps of a stream which has undergone considerable phase mixing (S1, with 94 members) and a kinematically cold stream (S2, with 61 members). The member stars of S1 have a median position of ($X,Y,Z$) = ($8.12, -0.22, 2.75$) kpc and a median metallicity of [Fe/H] $= -1.78$. The stars of S2 have median coordinates ($X,Y,Z$) = ($8.66, 0.30, 0.77$) kpc and a median metallicity of [Fe/H] $= -1.91$. They lie in velocity space close to some of the stars in the stream reported by Helmi et al. (1999). By modelling, we estimate that both structures had progenitors with virial masses $\approx 10^{10} M_\odot$ and infall times $\gtrsim 9$ Gyr ago. Using abundance matching, these correspond to stellar masses between $10^6$ and $10^7 M_\odot$. These are somewhat larger than the masses inferred through the mass-metallicity relation by factors of 5 to 15. Additionally, we identify two further substructures (S3 and S4 with 55 and 40 members) and two clusters or moving groups (C1 and C2 with 24 and 12) members. In all 6 cases, clustering in kinematics is found to correspond to clustering in both configuration space and metallicity, adding credence to the reliability of our detections.

Practice and Forgetting Effects on Vocabulary Memory: An Activation-Based Model of the Spacing Effect

description: An experiment was performed to investigate the effects of practice and spacing on retention of Japanese–English vocabulary paired associates. The relative benefit of spacing increased with increased practice and with longer retention intervals. Data were fitted with an activation-based memory model, which proposes that each time an item is practiced it receives an increment of strength but that these increments decay as a power function of time. The rate of decay for each presentation depended on the activation at the time of the presentation. This mechanism limits long-term benefits from further practice at higher levels of activation and produces the spacing effect and its observed interactions with practice and retention interval. The model was compared with another model of the spacing effect (Raaijmakers, 2003) and was fit to some results from the literature on spacing and memory.

Our work is based on the numerical solution of the time dependent crossover Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to the heat diffusion equation. We quantify the evolution of condensate density and vortex length as a function of a crossover phase parameter from BCS to BEC. The more interesting phenomena occur somewhat nearer to the BEC regime and should be experimentally observable; during the propagation of the cold front, the increase in condensate density leads to the formation of supercurrents towards the center of the condensate as well as possible condensate volume oscillations.

description: The occurrence of drug-drug-interactions (DDI) from multiple drug dispensations is a serious problem, both for individuals and health-care systems, since patients with complications due to DDI are likely to reenter the system at a costlier level. We present a large-scale longitudinal study (18 months) of the DDI phenomenon at the primary- and secondary-care level using electronic health records (EHR) from the city of Blumenau in Southern Brazil (pop. $\approx 340,000$). We found that 181 distinct drug pairs known to interact were dispensed concomitantly to 12\% of the patients in the city's public health-care system. Further, 4\% of the patients were dispensed drug pairs that are likely to result in major adverse drug reactions (ADR)---with costs estimated to be much larger than previously reported in smaller studies. The large-scale analysis reveals that women have a 60\% increased risk of DDI as compared to men; the increase becomes 90\% when considering only DDI known to lead to major ADR. Furthermore, DDI risk increases substantially with age; patients aged 70-79 years have a 34\% risk of DDI when they are dispensed two or more drugs concomitantly. Interestingly, a statistical null model demonstrates that age- and female-specific risks from increased polypharmacy fail by far to explain the observed DDI risks in those populations, suggesting unknown social or biological causes. We also provide a network visualization of drugs and demographic factors that characterize the DDI phenomenon and demonstrate that accurate DDI prediction can be included in healthcare and public-health management, to reduce DDI-related ADR and costs.

description: Leptoquark-Higgs interactions induce mixing between leptoquark states with different chiralities once the electro-weak symmetry is broken. In such LQ models Majorana neutrino masses are generated at 1-loop order. Here we calculate the neutrino mass matrix and explore the constraints on the parameter space enforced by the assumption that LQ-loops explain current neutrino oscillation data. LQs will be produced at the LHC, if their masses are at or below the TeV scale. Since the fermionic decays of LQs are governed by the same Yukawa couplings, which are responsible for the non-trivial neutrino mass matrix, several decay branching ratios of LQ states can be predicted from measured neutrino data. Especially interesting is that large lepton flavour violating rates in muon and tau final states are expected. In addition, the model predicts that, if kinematically possible, heavier LQs decay into lighter ones plus either a standard model Higgs boson or a $Z^0/W^{\pm}$ gauge boson. Thus, experiments at the LHC might be able to exclude the LQ mechanism as explanation of neutrino data.

description: Wiatrochrony i ochronne pasy zadrzewień są podstawą w minimalizowaniu szkodliwego wpływu wiatru na uprawy, zwierzęta gospodarskie i mienie. Pełniona przez nie funkcja zależy od wielu czynników, takich jak wysokość, długość, gęstość, grubość pni czy gęstość zasadzenia. W celu zmaksymalizowania funkcji ochronnej należy dobrać odpowiednie gatunki, odpowiednio je rozmieścić i prowadzić prace pielęgnacyjne. Wiatrochrony i pasy zadrzewień mają wiele zalet, ich słabe strony mogą być zminimalizowane poprzez odpowiedni dobór upraw na przylegającym obszarze. - Windbreaks and shelterbelts are fundamental in minimizing the unpleasant effects of wind upon crops, livestock and property. Their function depends on factors including height, length, thickness and density. In order to maximize their wind protection function, it is essential to ensure suitable species selection, good installation and management. Shelterbelts and windbreaks have a multitude of advantages and their disadvantages can be overcome by clever choice of crops for their adjacent areas.

description: In reservoir simulation, solution of the coupled systems of nonlinear algebraic equations that are associated with fully-implicit (backward Euler) discretization is challenging. Having a robust and efficient nonlinear solver is necessary in order for reservoir simulation to serve as the primary tool for managing the recovery processes of large-scale reservoirs. Here, we develop a continuation method based on the use of a dissipation operator. We focus on nonlinear two-phase flow and transport in heterogeneous formations in the presence of viscous, gravitational, and capillary forces. The homotopy is constructed by adding numerical dissipation to the coupled discrete conservation equations. A continuation parameter is introduced to control the amount of dissipation. Numerical evidence of multi-dimensional models and detailed analysis of single-cell problems are used to explain how the dissipation operator improves the nonlinear convergence of the coupled system of equations. An adaptive strategy to determine the dissipation coefficient is proposed. The dissipation level is computed locally for each cell interface. We demonstrate the efficiency of the dissipation-based continuation (DBC) nonlinear solver using several examples, including 1D scalar transport and 2D heterogeneous problems with fully-coupled flow and transport. The DBC solver has better convergence properties compared with the standard damped-Newton solvers used in reservoir simulation.

description: In this paper, we introduce a class of indicators that enable to compute efficiently optimal transport plans associated to arbitrary distributions of N demands and M supplies in R in the case where the cost function is concave. The computational cost of these indicators is small and independent of N. A hierarchical use of them enables to obtain an efficient algorithm.

description: Socioeconomic disadvantage during childhood and adolescence predicts poor mental and physical health and premature death by major medical diseases in adulthood. However, the neural pathways through which socioeconomic factors may exert a developmental influence on health and longevity remain largely unknown. This fMRI study provides novel evidence of a unique relationship between the perception that one's parents had a relatively low social standing—a putative indicator of early socioeconomic disadvantage—and greater amygdala reactivity to threatening facial expressions. This relationship was not explained by several possible confounders, including sex, ethnicity, dispositional emotionality, symptoms of depression and anxiety, parental education and participants’ perceptions of their own social standing. The amygdala expresses marked developmental plasticity and plays instrumental roles in processing emotional information, regulating emotion-related behaviors and orchestrating biobehavioral stress responses throughout life. Thus, these findings may provide insight into the neurodevelopmental pathways impacting socioeconomic disparities in health.
Photon polarization as a probe for quark-gluon plasma dynamics

description: Prospects of measuring polarized photons emitted from a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) are discussed. In particular, the detection of a possible quark spin polarization in a QGP using circularly polarized photons emitted from the plasma is studied. Photons leave the QGP without further interaction and thus provide a primary probe for quark polarization within the QGP. We find that photon polarization cannot solely arise due to a possible QGP momentum space anisotropy, but may be enhanced due to it. In particular, for oblate momentum distributions and high photon energies, quark polarization is efficiently transfered to photon polarization. The role of competing sources of polarized photons in heavy-ion collisions is discussed.

description: The complex interactions of localized vortices with waves is investigated using a model of point vortices in the presence of a transverse or longitudinal wave. This simple model shows a rich dynamical behavior including oscillations of a dipole, splitting and merging of two like-circulation vortices, and chaos. The analytical and numerical results of this model have been found to predict under certain conditions, the behavior of more complex systems, such as the vortices of the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation, where the presence of waves strongly affects the evolution of large coherent structures.

Nova V5116 Sgr and searching for superhumps in nova remnants

description: We present the period analysis of unfiltered photometric observations of V5116 Sgr (Nova Sgr 2005 #2) and we search for superhump candidates in novae remnants. The PDM method for period analysis is used. The masses of the novae componets are estimated from the secondary mass -- orbital period and primary mass -- decline time relations. We found that 13 nights of V5116 Sgr observations in the year 2006 are modulated with a period of $0.1238 \pm 0.0001$ d ($2.9712 \pm 0.0024$ h). Following the shape of the phased light curves and no apparent change in the value of the periodicity in different subsamples of the data, we interpret the period as orbital in nature. The binary system then falls within the period gap of the orbital period distribution of cataclysmic variables. From the maximum magnitude -- rate of decline relation, we estimate the maximum absolute visual magnitude of $M_{\rm Vmax} = -8.85 \pm 0.04$ mag using the measured value of decline $t_{\rm 2} = 6.5 \pm 1.0$ d. The mass-period relation for cataclysmic variables yields a secondary mass estimate of about $0.26 \pm 0.05 {\rm M}_{\rm \odot}$. We propose that V5116 Sgr is a high inclination system showing an irradiation effect of the secondary star. No fully developed accretion disc up to the tidal radius with the value lower than $3.5 10^{10}$ cm is probable. The mass ratio was estimated in a few novae and the presence or absence of superhumps in these systems was compared with the mass ratio limit for superhumps of about 0.35. We found that in the majority of novae with expected superhumps, this variability has not been found yet. Therefore, more observations of these systems is encouraged.

description: We consider a scenario where a scalar field has dynamics ruled by an exponential potential, such as those arising from some quintessence type models, and aim at obtaining phenomenological manifestations of this entity within our Solar System. To do so, we assume a perturbative regime, derive the perturbed Schwarzschild metric, and extract the relevant post-Newtonian parameters.

description: Using the multiple scales method, the interaction between two bright and one dark solitons is studied. Provided that a long wave-short wave resonance condition is satisfied, the two-component Zakharov-Yajima-Oikawa (ZYO) completely integrable system is obtained. By using a Madelung fluid description, the one-soliton solutions of the corresponding ZYO system are determined. Furthermore, a discussion on the interaction between one bright and two dark solitons is presented. In particular, this problem is reduced to solve a one-component ZYO system in the resonance conditions.

description: The Holstein Model (HM) describes the interaction between fermions and a collection of local (dispersionless) phonon modes. In the dilute limit, the phonon degrees of freedom dress the fermions, giving rise to polaron and bipolaron formation. At higher densities, the phonons mediate collective superconducting (SC) and charge density wave (CDW) phases. Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations have considered both these limits, but have not yet focused on the physics of more general phonon spectra. Here we report QMC studies of the role of phonon dispersion on SC and CDW order in such models. We quantify the effect of finite phonon bandwidth and curvature on the critical temperature $T_{\rm cdw}$ for CDW order, and also uncover several novel features of diagonal long range order in the phase diagram, including a competition between charge patterns at momenta ${\bf q}=(π,π)$ and ${\bf q}=(0,π)$ which lends insight into the relationship between Fermi surface nesting and the wavevector at which charge order occurs. We also demonstrate SC order at half-filling in situations where nonzero bandwidth sufficiently suppresses $T_{\rm cdw}$.

description: Permutation codes have recently garnered substantial research interest due to their potential in various applications including cloud storage systems, genome resequencing and flash memories. In this paper, we study the theoretical bounds and constructions of permutation codes in the generalized Cayley metric. The generalized Cayley metric captures the number of generalized transposition errors in a permutation, and subsumes previously studied error types, including transpositions and translocations, without imposing restrictions on the lengths and positions of the translocated segments. Relying on the breakpoint analysis proposed by Chee and Vu, we first propose a coding scheme that is order-optimal albeit not constructive based on this method. We then develop another construction of permutation codes in the generalized Cayley distance. This scheme is both explicit and systematic. We also prove the existence of order-optimal systematic codes and offer a concrete construction based on this method. For the generalized Cayley metric, we prove that our coding schemes have less redundancy than the existing codes based on interleaving when the codelength is sufficiently large and the number of errors is relatively small.

description: The Sznajd model is investigated in the directed Erdos--Renyi network with the clusterization coefficient enhanced to 0.3 by the method of Holme and Kim (Phys. Rev. E65 (2002) 026107). Within additional triangles, all six links are present. In this network, some nodes preserve the minority opinion. The time tau of getting equilibrium is found to follow the log-normal distribution and it increases linearly with the system size. Its dependence on the initial opinion distribution is different from the analytical results for fully connected networks.
