description: We conduct a thorough investigation into the possibility that residing in an overdense region of the Universe may induce bias in measurements of the large-scale structure. We compute the conditional correlation function and angular power spectrum of density and lensing fluctuations while holding the local spherically averaged density fixed and show that for Gaussian fields this has no effect on the angular power at $l>0$. We identify a range of scales where a perturbative approach allows analytic progress to be made, and we compute leading-order conditional power spectra using an Edgeworth expansion and second-order perturbation theory. We find no evidence for any significant bias to cosmological power spectra from our local density contrast. We show that when smoothed over a large region around the observer, conditioning on the local density typically affects density power spectra by less than a percent at cosmological distances, below cosmic variance. We find that while typical corrections to the lensing angular power spectrum can be at the 10% level on the largest angular scales and for source redshifts $z_s \lesssim 0.1$, for the typical redshifts targeted by upcoming wide imaging surveys the corrections are sub-percent and negligible, in contrast to previous claims in the literature. Using an estimate of the local spherically averaged density from a composite galaxy redshift catalogue we find that the corrections from conditioning on our own local density are below cosmic variance and subdominant to other non-linear effects. We discuss the potential implications of our results for cosmology and point out that a measurement of the local density contrast may be used as a consistency test of cosmological models.

description: The facility adaptive optics of the Subaru Telescope AO188 is getting some long-awaited upgrades: a new 3224-actuator deformable mirror (DM) from ALPAO (hence the name change to AO3000 or AO3k), an upgraded GPU-based real-time computer, a non-linear curvature wavefront sensor and a near-infrared wavefront sensor (NIR WFS) using First Light Imaging\'s C-RED ONE camera, closing the loop at up to 2~kHz. With these new features, AO3k will provide extreme-AO level of correction to all the instruments on the IR Nasmyth platform: The NIR-MIR camera and spectrograph IRCS, the high-resolution Doppler spectrograph IRD, and the high-contrast instrument SCExAO. AO3k will also support laser tomography (LTAO), delivering high Strehl ratio imaging with large sky coverage.
 The NIR WFS, using part of the light from y- to H-band, will dramatically increase the number of reachable targets for high-contrast imaging, for exoplanets characterization, as well as AGNs or the galactic center. It has two modes that can be used to drive the new DM: A double roof-prism pyramid WFS, and a focal plane WFS.
 The high Strehl will especially benefit SCExAO for high contrast imaging. The second stage ExAO will no longer have to chase large residual atmospheric turbulence, and will focus on truly high contrast techniques to create and stabilize dark holes, as well as coherent differential imaging techniques. We will finally be able to leverage the several high performance coronagraphs tested in SCExAO, even in the visible.
 AO3k will answer crucial questions as a precursor for future adaptive optics systems for ELTs, especially as a technology demonstrator for the HCI Planetary Systems Imager on the Thirty Meter Telescope. A lot of questions are still unanswered on the on-sky behavior of high actuator counts DMs, NIR wavefront sensing, the effect of rolling shutters or persistence.
 We present here the first lab and on-sky results of AO3k, focusing mainly on the commissioning of the NIR WFS due to the delay in the delivery of the DM. These results give us some insight on the great scientific results we hope to achieve in the future.

description: Many-body techniques based on the double unitary coupled cluster ansatz (DUCC) can be used to downfold electronic Hamiltonians into low-dimensional active spaces. It can be shown that the resulting dimensionality reduced Hamiltonians are amenable for quantum computing. Recent studies performed for several benchmark systems using quantum phase estimation (QPE) algorithms demonstrated that these formulations can recover a significant portion of ground-state dynamical correlation effects that stem from the electron excitations outside of the active space. These results have also been confirmed in studies of ground-state potential energy surfaces using quantum simulators. In this letter, we study the effectiveness of the DUCC formalism in describing excited states. We also emphasize the role of the QPE formalism and its stochastic nature in discovering/identifying excited states or excited-state processes in situations when the knowledge about the true configurational structure of a sought after excited state is limited or postulated (due to the specific physics driving excited-state processes of interest). In this context, we can view the QPE algorithm as an engine for verifying various hypotheses for excited-state processes and providing statistically meaningful results that correspond to the electronic state(s) with the largest overlap with a postulated configurational structure. We illustrate these ideas on examples of strongly correlated molecular systems, characterized by small energy gaps and high density of quasi-degenerate states around the Fermi level.

description: We present ISO-PHOT spectra of the regions 2.5-4.9um and 5.8-11.6um for a sample of 45 disk galaxies from the U.S. ISO Key Project on Normal Galaxies. The spectra can be decomposed into three spectral components: (1) continuum emission from stellar photospheres, which dominates the near-infrared (2.5- 4.9um; NIR) spectral region; (2) a weak NIR excess continuum, which has a color temperature of ~ 1000K, carries a luminosity of a few percent of the total far-infrared luminosity L(FIR), and most likely arises from the ISM; and (3) the well-known broad emission features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.3 um, which are generally attributed to aromatic carbon particles. These aromatic features in emission (AFEs) dominate the mid-infrared (5.8-11.6 um; MIR) part of the spectrum, and resemble the so-called Type-A spectra observed in many non-stellar sources and the diffuse ISM in our own Galaxy. The relative strengths of the AFEs vary by 15-25% among the galaxies. However, little correlation is seen between these variations and either IRAS 60um-to-100um flux density ratio R(60/100) or the FIR-to-blue luminosity ratio L(FIR)/L(B), suggesting that the observed variations are not a direct consequence of the radiation field differences among the galaxies. We demonstrate that the NIR excess continuum and AFE emission are correlated, suggesting that they are produced by similar mechanisms and similar (or the same) material. On the other hand, as the current star-formation activity increases, the overall strengths of the AFEs and the NIR excess continuum drop significantly with respect to that of the far-infrared emission from large dust grains. This is likely a consequence of the preferential destruction in intense radiation fields of the small carriers responsible for the NIR/AFE emission.

description: Introduction: Approximately 21% of Germany's inhabitants or their parents have been born abroad. There is evidence that immigrant women are starting antenatal care later than nonimmigrants. In Berlin, equality in health care access had improved until 2011-2012, leaving only women with Low German language proficiency and an insecure residence status particularly at risk. With the recent influx of refugees, we analyzed whether access to antenatal and postpartum care differs depending on immigration, residence status, income, and education. Methods: At our Berlin tertiary care center, a modified version of the Migrant Friendly Maternity Care Questionnaire was administered to women who delivered in the first half of 2017. Multivariate modeling compared nonimmigrant women, immigrants, and women who are direct descendants of immigrants. Results: The study included 184 nonimmigrant women, 214 immigrant women, and 62 direct descendants of immigrants. Germany is relatively good in prenatal care for immigrant women, as most are getting adequate prenatal care. However, 21% of immigrants compared with 11% of nonimmigrant women started pregnancy care after the first trimester (P = .03). Low income was a more powerful predictor than immigration status for starting prenatal care after the first trimester. Immigrant women (23%) were less informed on postpartum care availability than nonimmigrants (3%) and used less postpartum midwifery care. Conclusions: When designing health care interventions for immigrant women, not only migration-specific factors should be considered but also low income as a barrier to access to maternity care.

description: Children suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) have the apparent highest risk for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at a young age. While symptoms of CVD are characteristically absent in childhood and adolescence, remodelling of the myocardium, medium and large-sized arteries and of the microcirculation is clinically significant and can be assessed with non-invasive technology. Kidney disease and its progression are the driver of CVD, mediated by an unparalleled accumulation of risk factors converging on several comorbid conditions including hypertension, anaemia, dyslipidaemia, disturbed mineral metabolism and chronic persistent inflammation. Large prospective paediatric cohorts studies have provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis and the progression of CKD-induced cardiovascular comorbidity and have characterised the cardiovascular phenotype in young patients. They have also provided the rationale for close monitoring of risk factors and have defined therapeutic targets. Recently discovered new biomarkers could help identify the individual risk for CVD. Prevention of CVD by aggressive therapy of modifiable risk factors is essential to enable long-term survival of young patients with CKD.

description: While city migrants see their welfare increase much more than those moving to towns, many more rural-urban migrants end up in towns. This phenomenon, documented in detail in Kagera, Tanzania, begs the question why migrants move to seemingly suboptimal destinations. Using an 18-year panel of individuals from this region and information on the possible destinations from the census, this study documents, through dyadic regressions and controlling for individual heterogeneity, how the deterrence of further distance to cities (compared to towns) largely trumps the attraction from their promise of greater wealth, making towns more appealing destinations. Education mitigates these effects (lesser deterrence from distance; greater attraction from wealth), while poverty reduces the attraction of wealth, consistent with the notion of urban sorting. With about two thirds of the rural population in low-income countries living within two hours from a town, these findings underscore the importance of vibrant towns for inclusive development.

description: Molecular dynamics results for the dynamic structure of a He0.77Ne0.23 gas mixture at two densities (15.8 nm-3 and 36.1 nm-3) are presented. A clear description of the crossover from hydrodynamic modes to distinct excitations for the two species is obtained. The higher density data neatly show high- and low-frequency branches setting on in the dispersion curve, with a rather localized transition. The lower density results remarkably agree with existing neutron scattering data and, differently from previous simulation studies, display hydrodynamic behavior up to k = 2 nm-1. A smooth transition to fast sound is shown to take place for 2 < k / nm-1 < 5, where the present MD data fill the existing gap in the experimental results.

description: In the 1960's, the first method used by the SRON Laboratory for Space Research at Utrecht to spectroscopically image the solar corona in X-rays employed Fresnel zone plates. Four Fresnel plates, covering four specific wavelengths, were flown on Aerobee rockets in 1967 and gave a first useful Xray image of the Sun in the Si-X line at 5.1 nanometer. The techniques developed for the solar X-ray images enabled SRON to become the Principal Investigator for the grating spectrographs on several major X-ray satellites, i.e. on the Einstein and EXOSAT satellites, launched in November 1978 and May 1983 respectively, and on the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories both launched in 1999. Since then a considerable effort was put into the development of, cryogenically cooled, non-dispersive X-ray spectrometers as potential payload elements for future X-ray missions. In that context SRON took an active part in initiatives and studies for next generation X-ray observatories like XEUS, IXO and Athena. Over the past decade this has resulted in hardware contributions to the Japanese-led Hitomi and XRISM satellites and to a determining role in the hardware development of the TES-microcalorimeter spectrograph on the ESA Athena observatory. This paper briefly reviews these historical developments and highlights some recent results regarding the anticipated spectral performance of the Athena microcalorimeter instrument.

description: Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT-) cells represent a semi-invariant T cell population responsive to microbial vitamin B metabolite and innate cytokine stimulation, executing border tissue protection and particularly contributing to human liver immunity. The impact of immunosuppressants on MAIT cell biology alone and in context with solid organ transplantation has not been thoroughly examined. Here, we demonstrate that in vitro cytokine activation of peripheral MAIT cells from healthy individuals was impaired by glucocorticoids, whereas antigen-specific stimulation was additionally sensitive to calcineurin inhibitors. In liver transplant (LTx) recipients, significant depletion of peripheral MAIT cells was observed that was largely independent of the type and dosage of immunosuppression, equally applied to tolerant patients, and was reproducible in kidney transplant recipients. However, MAIT cells from tolerant LTx patients exhibited a markedly diminished ex vivo activation signature, associated with individual regain of functional competence toward antigenic and cytokine stimulation. Still, MAIT cells from tolerant and treated liver recipients exhibited high levels of PD1, accompanied by functional impairment particularly toward bacterial stimulation that also affected polyfunctionality. Our data suggest interlinked effects of primary liver pathology and immunosuppressive treatment on overall MAIT cell fitness after transplantation and propose their monitoring in context with tolerance induction protocols.

description: Hand hyperphalangism leading to shortened index fingers with ulnar deviation, hallux valgus, mild facial dysmorphism and respiratory compromise requiring assisted ventilation are the key features of Chitayat syndrome. This condition results from the recurrent heterozygous missense variant NM_006494.2:c.266A>G; p.(Tyr89Cys) inERFon chromosome 19q13.2, encoding the ETS2 repressor factor (ERF) protein. The pathomechanism of Chitayat syndrome is unknown. To date, seven individuals with Chitayat syndrome and the recurrent pathogenicERFvariant have been reported in the literature. Here, we describe six additional individuals, among them only one presenting with a history of assisted ventilation, and the remaining presenting with variable pulmonary phenotypes, including one individual without any obvious pulmonary manifestations. Our findings widen the phenotype spectrum caused by the recurrent pathogenic variant inERF, underline Chitayat syndrome as a cause of isolated skeletal malformations and therefore contribute to the improvement of diagnostic strategies in individuals with hand hyperphalangism.

The approach is based on the distributional transform, yielding dependence measures which always feature a natural invariance with respect to scalings and translations. Moreover, it requires no distributional assumptions, i.e., the distributions can be of pure type or any mixture of discrete and continuous distributions and (in our setting) no existence of moments is required. Empirical estimators and tests, which are consistent against all alternatives, are provided based on a Monte Carlo distributional transform. In particular, it is shown that the new estimators inherit the exact limiting distributional properties of the original estimators. Examples illustrate that tests based on the new measures can be more powerful than tests based on other copula dependence measures.

description: The higher derivative gravitational theories exhibit new phenomena absent in General Relativity. One of them is the possible formation of the so called double layer which is the pure gravitational phenomenon and can be interpreted, in a sense, as the gravitational shock wave. In this paper we show how some very important features of the double layer equations of motion can be extracted straight from the least action principle.

XMM-Newton observations of the Perseus Cluster I: The temperature and surface brightness structure

description: We present preliminary results of the XMM-Newton 50 ksec observation of the Perseus cluster. The global east/west asymmetry of the gas temperature and surface brightness distributions, approximately aligned with the chain of bright galaxies, suggests an ongoing merger, although the modest degree of the observed asymmetry certainly excludes a major merger interpretation. The chain of galaxies probably traces the filament along which accretion has started some time ago and is continuing at the present time. A cold and dense (low entropy) cluster core like Perseus is probably well "protected" against the penetration of the gas of infalling groups and poor clusters whereas in non-cooling core clusters like Coma and A1367, infalling subclusters can penetrate deeply into the core region. In Perseus, gas associated with infalling groups may be stripped completely at the outskirts of the main cluster and only compression waves (shocks) may reach the central regions. We argue that the passage of such a wave(s) can qualitatively explain the overall horseshoe shaped appearance of the gas temperature map (the hot horseshoe surrounds the colder, low entropy core) as well as other features of the Perseus cluster core. As compression waves traverse the cluster core, they can induce oscillatory motion of the cluster gas which can generate multiple sharp "edges", on opposite sides or the central galaxy. Gas motions induced by mergers may be a natural way to explain the high frequency of "edges" seen in clusters with cooling cores.

A cross-sectional study of social inequities in medical crowdfunding campaigns in the United States

description: Americans are increasingly relying on crowdfunding to pay for the costs of healthcare. In medical crowdfunding, online platforms allow individuals to appeal to social networks to request donations for health and medical needs. Users are often told that success depends on how they organize and share their campaigns to increase social network engagement. However, experts have cautioned that MCF could exacerbate health and social disparities by amplifying the choices and biases of the crowd and leveraging these to determine who has access to financial support for healthcare. To date, research on potential axes of disparity in MCF, and their impacts on fundraising outcomes, has been limited. This paper presents an exploratory cross-sectional study of a randomized sample of 637 MCF campaigns on the popular platform Gofundme, for which the race, gender, age, and relationships of campaigners and campaign recipients were categorized alongside campaign characteristics and outcomes. Our analyses examine race, gender, and age disparities in MCF use, and tests how these are associated with differential campaign outcomes. The results show systemic disparities in MCF use and outcomes: non-white users are under-represented. There is significant evidence of an additional digital care labor burden on women organizers of campaigns, and marginalized race and gender groups are associated with poorer fundraising outcomes. Outcomes are only minimally associated with campaign characteristics under users' control, such as photos, videos, and updates. These results corroborate widespread concerns how technology fuels health inequities, and about how crowdfunding may be creating an unequal and biased marketplace for those seeking financial support to access healthcare. Further research and better data access are needed to explore these dynamics more deeply and inform policy for this largely unregulated industry.

description: Background The function of non-coding RNA sequences is largely determined by their spatial conformation, namely the secondary structure of the molecule, formed by Watson–Crick interactions between nucleotides. Hence, modern RNA alignment algorithms routinely take structural information into account. In order to discover yet unknown RNA families and infer their possible functions, the structural alignment of RNAs is an essential task. This task demands a lot of computational resources, especially for aligning many long sequences, and it therefore requires efficient algorithms that utilize modern hardware when available. A subset of the secondary structures contains overlapping interactions (called pseudoknots), which add additional complexity to the problem and are often ignored in available software. Results We present the SeqAn-based software LaRA 2 that is significantly faster than comparable software for accurate pairwise and multiple alignments of structured RNA sequences. In contrast to other programs our approach can handle arbitrary pseudoknots. As an improved re-implementation of the LaRA tool for structural alignments, LaRA 2 uses multi-threading and vectorization for parallel execution and a new heuristic for computing a lower boundary of the solution. Our algorithmic improvements yield a program that is up to 130 times faster than the previous version. Conclusions With LaRA 2 we provide a tool to analyse large sets of RNA secondary structures in relatively short time, based on structural alignment. The produced alignments can be used to derive structural motifs for the search in genomic databases.
Stretching of a polymer below the Theta point

description: The unfolding of a polymer below the $θ$ point when pulled by an external force is studied both in d=2 on the lattice and in $d=3$ off lattice. A ground state analysis of finite length chains shows that the globule unfolds via multiple steps, corresponding to transitions between different minima, in both cases. In the infinite length limit, these intermediate minima have a qualitative effect only in $d=2$. The phase diagram in d=2 is determined using transfer matrix techniques. Energy-entropy and renormalization group arguments are given which predict a qualitatively correct phase diagram and a change of the order of the transition from d=2 to d=3.

Floquet boundary states in AB-stacked graphite

description: We report on the effect of laser illumination with circularly polarized light on the electronic structure of AB-stacked graphite samples. By using Floquet theory in combination with Green's function techniques, we find that the polarized light induces band-gap openings at the Floquet zone edge $\hbarΩ/2$, bridged by chiral boundary states. These states propagate mainly along the borders of the constituting layers as evidenced by the time-averaged local density of states and the probability current density in several geometries. Semianalytic calculations of the Chern number suggest that these states are of topological nature, similar to those found in illuminated 2D samples like monolayer and bilayer graphene. These states are promising candidates for the realization of a three-dimensional version of the quantum Hall effect for Floquet systems.

Justice in Contract, no Justice in the Background

description: In the first part of his book, Peter Benson elaborates for the common law that fairness in exchange is not only a fundamental principle of contract law, but that it is, moreover, conceptually rooted in the idea of private autonomy. For the common law presumes that a party to a contract intends, in principle, to exchange performance at its value and on fair terms. The following comment shows that this presumption also animates German contract law, including the rules on the review of standard terms. In the second part, Benson develops the image of a harmonious complementarity of private law, which is characterised by transactional justice, and public law, which instantiates distributive justice. The following comment disputes the claimed harmony by demonstrating the fundamental asymmetry in the institutionalisation of both forms of justice in civil society.
