description: Associations between cardiometabolic multimorbidity and response to therapy in psoriasis are unknown. Determine the associations of multimorbidity with response to biologic treatment in psoriasis patients. CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry participants who initiated biologic therapy and had 6-month follow-up were stratified by 0, 1, 2+ comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia). Adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) were calculated overall and separately by biologic class (TNFi, IL-17i, IL-12/23i + IL-23i), to assess the likelihood of achieving response for the 1 and 2+ groups vs. 0. Of 2,923 patients, 49.5%, 24.7% and 25.8% reported 0, 1 and 2+ comorbidities, respectively. Overall, likelihood of PASI75 was 18% (OR = 0.82; 95%CI: 0.67, 1.00) and 23% (OR = 0.77; 95%CI: 0.63, 0.96) lower in those with 1 and 2+ comorbidities, respectively, vs. 0. In those who initiated IL-17i, odds of PASI75 and PAS90 were 34% (OR = 0.66; 95%CI: 0.48-0.91) and 35% (OR = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.47-0.91) lower in the 2+ multimorbidity cohort. No significant associations were found among users of TNFi or IL-12/23i + IL-23i groups in the multimorbidity group. Patients may not be representative of all psoriasis patients. Multimorbidity in psoriasis may decrease the likelihood of achieving treatment response to biologic therapy and should be considered when discussing treatment expectations with patients.

description: Biomolecular condensates consisting of proteins and nucleic acids can serve critical biological functions—so much so that some condensates are referred as membrane‐less organelles. They can also be disease‐causing if their assembly is misregulated. A major physico‐chemical basis of the formation of biomolecular condensates is liquid‐liquid phase separation (LLPS). In general, LLPS depends on environmental variables such as temperature and hydrostatic pressure. We investigated the effects of pressure on the LLPS of a binary SynGAP/PSD‐95 protein system mimicking postsynaptic densities, which are protein assemblies underneath the plasma membrane of excitatory synapses. Quite unexpectedly, the model system’s LLPS is much more sensitive to pressure than the folded states of typical globular proteins. Phase‐separated droplets of SynGAP/PSD‐95 were found to dissolve into a homogeneous solution already at ten‐ to hundred‐bar levels. The pressure sensitivity of SynGAP/PSD‐95 is seen here as a consequence of both pressure‐dependent multivalent interaction strength and void volume effects. Because organisms in the deep sea are under pressures up to ~1 kbar, this implies that deep‐sea organisms have to devise means to counteract this high pressure‐sensitivity of biomolecular condensates to avoid harm. Intriguingly, our findings may shed light on the biophysical underpinning of pressure‐related neurological disorders in terrestrial vertebrates.

description: We present a Resonant Switch (RS) model of twin peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs), assuming switch of twin oscillations at a resonant point, where frequencies of the upper and lower oscillations $ν_U$ and $ν_L$ become to be commensurable and the twin oscillations change from one pair of the oscillating modes (corresponding to a specific model of HF QPOs) to some other pair due to non-linear resonant phenomena. The RS model enables to determine range of allowed values of spin $a$ and mass $M$ of the neutron star located at the atoll source 4U 1636-53 where two resonant points are observed at frequency ratios $ν_U:ν_L$ = 3:2, 5:4.

description: Evidence-based guidance in older adults (≥65 years) with psoriasis is sparse and undertreatment might be present. To assess prescribing patterns, comfort levels, barriers and needs of dermatologists when treating older adults with systemic antipsoriatic therapy. A mixed-methods design was used including a survey among all Dutch dermatologists and residents, followed by semi-structured interviews. Most of the survey respondents applied systemic treatment to the same extent in older versus younger patients (n = 49; 67.1%) and weren’t reluctant prescribing systemic therapy (n = 50; 68.5%) in older adults. However, 26% (n = 19) of the respondents treated older adults less often with systemic therapy compared to younger patients and 68.1% (n = 49) performed additional actions in older adults, e.g. intensified monitoring or dose reduction. Based on the survey and interviews (n = 10), the main reasons for these age-based treatment differences were comorbidity, comedication, and fear of adverse events. More evidence-based guidance, education, and time to assess older adults were identified as most important needs, especially regarding frailty screening. Age-based treatment differences in and reluctance to treating older adults with systemic antipsoriatic therapy were common. There is a need for more evidence-based guidance, education, and consultation time, to improve treatment in this growing population.

description: High-volume feature-rich data sets are becoming the bread-and-butter of 21st century astronomy but present significant challenges to scientific discovery. In particular, identifying scientifically significant relationships between sets of parameters is non-trivial. Similar problems in biological and geosciences have led to the development of systems which can explore large parameter spaces and identify potentially interesting sets of associations. In this paper, we describe the application of automated discovery systems of relationships to astronomical data sets, focussing on an evolutionary programming technique and an information-theory technique. We demonstrate their use with classical astronomical relationships - the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies. We also show how they work with the issue of binary classification which is relevant to the next generation of large synoptic sky surveys, such as LSST. We find that comparable results to more familiar techniques, such as decision trees, are achievable. Finally, we consider the reality of the relationships discovered and how this can be used for feature selection and extraction.

description: Once-daily, fixed-combination calcipotriol 50 μg/g (Cal) plus betamethasone dipropionate 0.5 mg/g (BD) is available in aerosol foam and cream formulations. As no head-to-head data are available, we use a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) approach to compare Cal/BD foam and cream. Anchored and unanchored MAIC analyses were conducted using individual patient data (IPD) from five Cal/BD foam trials and two trials of Cal/BD cream. Outcomes of interest were the proportion of patients with Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) success and the mean reduction in modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (mPASI). In the anchored MAIC, patients were more likely to achieve PGA success after 4 weeks of Cal/BD foam than after 8 weeks of Cal/BD cream and had larger mean improvements in mPASI (p < .01 in EU mPASI analysis). In unanchored analyses, 4 weeks of Cal/BD foam treatment was statistically significantly more efficacious in inducing PGA success than 8 weeks of Cal/BD cream (p < .01 in five of six comparisons). Mean reductions in mPASI were consistently statistically significantly greater with Cal/BD foam than with Cal/BD cream. Use of Cal/BD foam consistently shows significantly greater improvements in PGA and mPASI outcomes, compared with Cal/BD cream.

description: Building on earlier work on electroweak corrections to W-pair production, the first calculation of the full electroweak one-loop corrections to on-shell ZZ, W$^{\pm}$Z and $γγ$ production at hadron colliders is presented, explicitly taking into account the full vector-boson mass dependence. As a consequence, our results are valid in the whole energy range probed by LHC experiments. Until now, the electroweak corrections have only been known in dedicated high-energy approximations limited to a specific kinematic regime, in particular requiring high boson transverse momenta. Therefore, our results comprise an important and so far missing ingredient to improve on the theory predictions for these fundamental Standard-Model benchmark processes also at intermediate energies and small scattering angles, where actually the bulk of events is located. In case of Z-pair production we have also included the leptonic decays and the associated weak corrections in our analysis. For this particular channel, corrections of about -4% are observed even close to the production threshold. For hard scattering processes with momentum transfers of several hundred GeV one finds large negative corrections which may amount to several tens of percent and lead to significant distortions of transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions.

description: Psoriasis is often treated with biologic therapies. While many patients see improvement in their symptoms with treatment, some achieve only partial success. In this post-hoc analysis we assess Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) results from patients who switched to RZB due to suboptimal results that originally received ADA (N = 53, IMMvent NCT02694523) or UST (N = 172, UltIMMa-1 [NCT02684370], UltIMMa-2 [NCT02684357]). For patients originally treated with ADA, after three doses of RZB, 83.3% of PASI 50 to <75 patients improved to PASI ≥75 and for PASI 75 to <90 patients, 77.1% improved to PASI ≥90. For patients originally treated with UST, after 7 doses of RZB, 86.8% of PASI <75 patients improved to PASI ≥75 and 75.5% of PASI 75 to ≤90 patients improved to PASI ≥90. No patients demonstrated worsening from their initial PASI group after switching. There were no significant safety events associated with switching patients to RZB without a washout period. For patients with an inadequate or incomplete response to UST or ADA, switching to RZB improved PASI scores and DLQI for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis with no significant safety risks.

description: We report programmable receptors for the imaging‐based analysis of 5‐methylcytosine (5mC) in user‐defined DNA sequences of single cells. Using fluorescent transcription‐activator‐like effectors (TALEs) that can recognize sequences of canonical and epigenetic nucleobases through selective repeats, we imaged cellular SATIII DNA, the origin of nuclear stress bodies (nSB). We achieve high nucleobase selectivity of natural repeats in imaging and demonstrate universal nucleobase binding by an engineered repeat. We use TALE pairs differing in only one such repeat in co‐stains to detect 5mC in SATIII sequences with nucleotide resolution independently of differences in target accessibility. Further, we directly correlate the presence of heat shock factor 1 with 5mC at its recognition sequence, revealing a potential function of 5mC in its recruitment as initial step of nSB formation. This opens a new avenue for studying 5mC functions in chromatin regulation in situ with nucleotide, locus, and cell resolution.

description: The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world and is one of our greatest tools for discovering and studying radio pulsars. Over the last decade, the GBT has successfully found over 100 new pulsars through large-area surveys. Here I discuss the two most recent---the GBT 350 MHz Drift-scan survey and the Green Bank North Celestial Cap survey. The primary science goal of both surveys is to find interesting individual pulsars, including young pulsars, rotating radio transients, exotic binary systems, and especially bright millisecond pulsars (MSPs) suitable for inclusion in Pulsar Timing Arrays, which are trying to directly detect gravitational waves. These two surveys have combined to discover 85 pulsars to date, among which are 14 MSPs and many unique and fascinating systems. I present highlights from these surveys and discuss future plans. I also discuss recent results from targeted GBT pulsar searches of globular clusters and Fermi sources.

description: We construct a two-dimensional crystal melting model which reproduces the BPS index of D2-D0 states bound to a non-compact D4-brane on an arbitrary toric Calabi-Yau singularity. The crystalline structure depends on the toric divisor wrapped by the D4-brane. The molten crystals are in one-to-one correspondence with the torus fixed points of the moduli space of the quiver gauge theory on D-branes. The F- and D-term constraints of the gauge theory are regarded as a generalization of the ADHM constraints on instantons. We also show in several examples that our model is consistent with the wall-crossing formula for the BPS index.

description: We take advantage of the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem to analytically study the holographic insulator/superconductor phase transition in the probe limit. The interesting point is that this analytical method can not only estimate the most stable mode of the phase transition, but also the second stable mode. We find that this analytical method perfectly matches with other numerical methods, such as the shooting method. Besides, we argue that only Dirichlet boundary condition of the trial function is enough under certain circumstances, which will lead to a more precise estimation. This relaxation for the boundary condition of the trial function is first observed in this paper as far as we know.

description: We consider twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillations observed in the accreting low-mass neutron star binaries and explore restrictions to central compact object properties that are implied by various QPO models. For each model and each source, the consideration results in a specific relation between the compact object mass $M$ and the angular-momentum $j$ rather than in their single preferred combination. Moreover, restrictions on the models resulting from observations of the low-frequency sources are weaker than those in the case of the high-frequency sources.

The zero-energy peak of the local density of states is investigated for vortex cores with the winding numbers 2 and 4 within the framework of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity. We find that the zero-energy peaks, which appear away from the vortex center in the clean limit, move towards the vortex center with increasing the impurity scattering rate, resolving a contradiction between an experimental result and previous theoretical predictions.

Determinants of Banks Interest rate spread: An Empirical Evidence from Ethiopian Commercial Banks
Creators: name: Aregu Asmare
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: The banking sector plays a fundamental role in economic growth, as it is the basic element in the channeling of funds from lenders to borrowers. Efficient financial intermediation is an important factor in economic development process as it has implication for effective mobilization of investible resources. A major indicator of banking sector efficiency is interest rate spreads. Thus, this study examines the bank, industry and macro-economic specific factors affecting banks interest rate spread for a total of eight commercial banks in Ethiopia, covering the period of 2004-2013. To this end, the study adopts a mixed research approach by combining document analysis and in-depth interviews. The findings of the study show that credit risk, liquidity risk, , operating cost, concentration, reserve requirement, gross domestic product , interest rate volatility and exchange rate volatility have statistically significant and positive relationship with banks interest rate spread

description: We present the validation and characterization of Kepler-61b: a 2.15 R_Earth planet orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of a low-mass star. Our characterization of the host star Kepler-61 is based upon a comparison with the set of spectroscopically similar stars with directly-measured radii and temperatures. We apply a stellar prior drawn from the weighted mean of these properties, in tandem with the Kepler photometry, to infer a planetary radius for Kepler-61b of 2.15+/-0.13 R_Earth and an equilibrium temperature of 273+/-13 K (given its period of 59.87756+/-0.00020 days and assuming a planetary albedo of 0.3). The technique of leveraging the physical properties of nearby "proxy" stars allows for an independent check on stellar characterization via the traditional measurements with stellar spectra and evolutionary models. In this case, such a check had implications for the putative habitability of Kepler-61b: the planet is 10% warmer and larger than inferred from K-band spectral characterization. From the Kepler photometry, we estimate a stellar rotation period of 36 days, which implies a stellar age of >1 Gyr. We summarize the evidence for the planetary nature of the Kepler-61 transit signal, which we conclude is 30,000 times more likely to be due to a planet than a blend scenario. Finally, we discuss possible compositions for Kepler-61b with a comparison to theoretical models as well as to known exoplanets with similar radii and dynamically measured masses.

description: Re-aeration serves as an integral part of water quality modelling, being utilized as an imperative constraint for estimating dissolved oxygen in rivers. The methods available to estimate oxygen regeneration at the air–water interface are broadly applicable and scalable. The study introduced various artificial neural network (ANN) models designed to estimate the re-aeration coefficient under varying hydrodynamic conditions. Five-year datasets of Yamuna River exemplified reduced flow and heavy organic loadings were used for performance assessment of the models. The ANN models were developed using different combinations of input parameters. The available predictive re-aeration models are compared with the developed ANN models to identify the best-performing model. The ANN models containing water quality and hydraulic parameters outperformed the predictive re-aeration models. The study reveals that both hydraulic and water quality parameters are required to analyse the re-aeration coefficient of degraded rivers.

description: We have developed an application called Wikipedia Live Monitor that monitors article edits on different language versions of Wikipedia, as they happen in realtime. Wikipedia articles in different languages are highly interlinked. For example, the English article en:2013_Russian_meteor_event on the topic of the February 15 meteoroid that exploded over the region of Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, is interlinked with the Russian article on the same topic. As we monitor multiple language versions of Wikipedia in parallel, we can exploit this fact to detect concurrent edit spikes of Wikipedia articles covering the same topics, both in only one, and in different languages. We treat such concurrent edit spikes as signals for potential breaking news events, whose plausibility we then check with full-text cross-language searches on multiple social networks. Unlike the reverse approach of monitoring social networks first, and potentially checking plausibility on Wikipedia second, the approach proposed in this paper has the advantage of being less prone to false-positive alerts, while being equally sensitive to true-positive events, however, at only a fraction of the processing cost.

description: By assuming that Y(4260) either is a $D_1\bar{D}$ molecular state, or has sizeable couplings with $D_0 \bar{D}^*$ and $D_1^\prime \bar{D}$, we investigate several decay modes of Y(4260). Under the special kinematic configurations, triangle singularity (TS) may occur in the rescattering amplitude, which will significantly change the threshold behavior. Obvious threshold enhancements or narrow cusp structures appear quite naturally without introducing a genuine resonance. We emphasize that the radiative decay modes may be useful for studying $D^{(*)}\bar{D}$ $S$-wave scattering.

Two ensembles of climate simulations are considered, a large ensemble of 22 global climate model simulations and a smaller ensemble of three high-resolution regional climate model simulations. The other components are two post-processing techniques, three lumped hydrological models and six probability distributions. These four sources are assessed through a method of variance decomposition applied to six flood indicators over a reference period and two future periods: 1976–2005, 2041–2070 and 2070–2099. Systematic differences are observed between basins with contrasting flood-generating processes. Snow-dominated basins consistently show larger variance contributions from hydrological models, while rain-dominated basins show climate simulations as their dominant source. These results underline the need to consider the variability of each component’s uncertainty contribution and its link to hydroclimatic conditions and dominant processes.

description: Soil hydraulic parameters (SHPs) required as inputs for numerical models are scarce in Sahelian regions. Instead, they are estimated using pedotransfer functions (PTFs), but their ability to simulate soil water dynamics has not been evaluated. This study aims to parameterize SHPs with seven different PTFs and inverse modelling to examine their ability to simulate water fluxes in Senegal’s Groundnut basin. We used four years of field measurements of soil water content (SWC) and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) under pearl millet and groundnut crop rotation for model evaluation. Inverse modelling for SWC (root mean square error [RMSE] ≤ 0.015 cm3 cm−3) and ETa (RMSE ≤ 0.62 mm d−1) yielded the best model performance compared to PTFs (0.024–0.175 cm3 cm−3 and 0.68–0.96 mm d−1, respectively). Where field measurements are lacking for inverse estimation, three of the seven tested PTFs yielded good modelling results and could be used as a parsimonious approach for cultivated Sahelian soils.

description: We discuss the detailed structure of the spectrum of the Hamiltonian for the polymerized harmonic oscillator and compare it with the spectrum in the standard quantization. As we will see the non-separability of the Hilbert space implies that the point spectrum consists of bands similar to the ones appearing in the treatment of periodic potentials. This feature of the spectrum of the polymeric harmonic oscillator may be relevant for the discussion of the polymer quantization of the scalar field and may have interesting consequences for the statistical mechanics of these models.

description: The Ito and Stratonovich approaches are carried over to quantum stochastic systems. Here the white noise representation is shown to be the most appropriate as here the two approaches appear as Wick and Weyl orderings, respectively. This introduces for the first time the Stratonovich form for SDEs driven by Poisson processes or quantum SDEs including the conservation process. The relation of the nonlinear Heisenberg ODES to asymptotic quantum SDEs is established extending previous work on linear (Schrodinger) equations. This is shown to generalize the classical integral transformations between the various forms of stochastic calculi and to extend the Khasminskii theorem to the quantum setting.

description: Due to degeneracies arising from crystal symmetries, it is possible for electron states at band edges ("valleys") to have additional spin-like quantum numbers. An important question is whether coherent manipulation can be performed on such valley pseudospins, analogous to that routinely implemented using true spin, in the quest for quantum technologies. Here we show for the first time that SU(2) valley coherence can indeed be generated and detected. Using monolayer semiconductor WSe2 devices, we first establish the circularly polarized optical selection rules for addressing individual valley excitons and trions. We then reveal coherence between valley excitons through the observation of linearly polarized luminescence, whose orientation always coincides with that of any linearly polarized excitation. Since excitons in a single valley emit circularly polarized photons, linear polarization can only be generated through recombination of an exciton in a coherent superposition of the two valleys. In contrast, the corresponding photoluminescence from trions is not linearly polarized, consistent with the expectation that the emitted photon polarization is entangled with valley pseudospin. The ability to address coherence, in addition to valley polarization, adds a critical dimension to the quantum manipulation of valley index necessary for coherent valleytronics.

description: The S=1/2 spin chain material SrCuO2 doped with 1% S=1 Ni-impurities is studied by inelastic neutron scattering. At low temperatures, the spectrum shows a pseudogap Δ~ 8 meV, absent in the parent compound, and not related to any structural phase transition. The pseudogap is shown to be a generic feature of quantum spin chains with dilute defects. A simple model based on this idea quantitatively accounts for the exprimental data measured in the temperature range 2-300 K, and allows to represent the momentum-integrated dynamic structure factor in a universal scaling form.

description: We outline an elementary method for proving numerical hypergeometric identities, in particular, Ramanujan-type identities for $1/π$. The principal idea is using algebraic transformations of arithmetic hypergeometric series to translate non-singular points into singular ones, where the required constants can be computed using asymptotic analysis.

description: The time variation of entropy, as an alternative to the variance, is proposed as a measure of the diffusion rate. It is shown that for linear and time-translationally invariant systems having a large-time limit for the density, at large times the entropy tends exponentially to a constant. For systems with no stationary density, at large times the entropy is logarithmic with a coefficient specifying the speed of the diffusion. As an example, the large time behaviors of the entropy and the variance are compared for various types of fractional-derivative diffusions.

description: We discuss the state of the assembly of the Hubble Sequence in the mix of bright galaxies at redshift 1.4< z \le 2.5 with a large sample of 1,671 galaxies down to H_{AB}~26, selected from the HST/ACS and WFC3 images of the GOODS--South field obtained as part of the GOODS and CANDELS observations. We investigate the relationship between the star formation properties and morphology using various parametric diagnostics, such as the Sersic light profile, Gini (G), M_{20}, Concentration (C), Asymmetry (A) and multiplicity parameters. Our sample clearly separates into massive, red and passive galaxies versus less massive, blue and star forming ones, and this dichotomy correlates very well with the galaxies' morphological properties. Star--forming galaxies show a broad variety of morphological features, including clumpy structures and bulges mixed with faint low surface brightness features, generally characterized by disky-type light profiles. Passively evolving galaxies, on the other hand, very often have compact light distribution and morphology typical of today's spheroidal systems. We also find that artificially redshifted local galaxies have a similar distribution with z~2galaxies in a G-M_{20} plane. Visual inspection between the rest-frame optical and UV images show that there is a generally weak morphological k-correction for galaxies at z~2, but the comparison with non-parametric measures show that galaxies in the rest-frame UV are somewhat clumpier than rest-frame optical. Similar general trends are observed in the local universe among massive galaxies, suggesting that the backbone of the Hubble sequence was already in place at z~2.

description: We present high resolution 2.5-dimensional MHD simulation results of magnetic breakout-initiated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) originating from a coronal pseudostreamer configuration. The coronal null point in the magnetic topology of pseudostreamers means the initiation of consecutive sympathetic eruptions is a natural consequence of the system's evolution. A generic source region energization process -- ideal footpoint shearing parallel to the pseudostreamer arcade polarity inversion lines -- is all that is necessary to store sufficient magnetic energy to power consecutive CME eruptions given that the pseudostreamer topology enables the breakout initiation mechanism. The second CME occurs because the eruptive flare reconnection of the first CME simultaneously acts as the overlying pre-eruption breakout reconnection for the sympathetic eruption. We examine the details of the magnetic and kinetic energy evolution and the signatures of the overlying null point distortion, current sheet formation, and magnetic breakout reconnection giving rise to the runaway expansion that drives the flare reconnection below the erupting sheared field core. The numerical simulation's spatial resolution and output cadence are sufficient to resolve the formation of magnetic islands during the reconnection process in both the breakout and eruptive flare current sheets. We quantify the flux transfer between the pseudostreamer arcades and show the eruptive flare reconnection processes flux ~10 times faster than the pre-eruption breakout reconnection. We show that the breakout reconnection jets cause bursty, intermittent upflows along the pseudostreamer stalk as well as downflows in the adjacent pseudostreamer arcade, both of which may be observable as pre-eruption signatures. Finally, we examine the flux rope CME trajectories and show that the breakout current sheet provides a path of least resistance as an...
