description: Due to its construction, the nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) evolution of the constant, field-independent term (which is constant with respect to field variations but depends on the RG scale $k$) requires special care within the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) approach. In several instances, the constant term of the potential has no physical meaning. However, there are special cases where it receives important applications. In low dimensions ($d=1$), in a quantum mechanical model, this term is associated with the ground-state energy of the anharmonic oscillator. In higher dimensions ($d=4$), it is identical to the $Λ$ term of the Einstein equations and it plays a role in cosmic inflation. Thus, in statistical field theory, in flat space, the constant term could be associated with the free energy, while in curved space, it could be naturally associated with the cosmological constant. It is known that one has to use a subtraction method for the quantum anharmonic oscillator in $d=1$ to remove the $k^2$ term that appears in the RG flow in its high-energy (UV) limit in order to recover the correct results for the ground-state energy. The subtraction is needed because the Gaussian fixed point is missing in the RG flow once the constant term is included. However, if the Gaussian fixed point is there, no further subtraction is required. Here, we propose a subtraction method for $k^4$ and $k^2$ terms of the UV scaling of the RG equations for $d=4$ dimensions if the Gaussian fixed point is missing in the RG flow with the constant term. Finally, comments on the application of our results to cosmological models are provided.

description: Most of the previous studies on the well-known Gray-Scott model view it as an irreversible chemical reaction system. In this paper, we derive a four-species reaction-diffusion system using the energetic variational approach based on the law of mass action. This is a reversible Gray-Scott type model, which has a natural entropy structure. We establish the local well-posedness of this system, and justify the limit to the corresponding irreversible Gray-Scott type system as some backward coefficients tend to zero. Furthermore, under some smallness assumption on the initial data, we obtain the global-in-time existence of classical solutions of the reversible system.

description: The kinetics of carbon condensation, or carbon clustering, in detonation of carbon-rich high explosives is modeled by solving a system of rate equations for concentrations of carbon particles. Unlike previous efforts, the rate equations account not only for the aggregation of particles, but also for their fragmentation in a thermodynamically consistent manner. Numerical simulations are performed, yielding the distribution of particle concentrations as a function of time. In addition to that, analytical expressions are obtained for all the distinct steps and regimes of the condensation kinetics, which facilitates the analysis of the numerical results and allows one to study the sensitivity of the kinetic behavior to the variation of system parameters. The latter is important because the numerical values of many parameters are not reliably known at present. The theory of the kinetics of first-order phase transitions is found adequate to describe the general kinetic trends of carbon condensation, as described by the rate equations. Such physical phenomena and processes as the coagulation, nucleation, growth, and Ostwald ripening are observed and their dependence on various system parameters is studied and reported. It is believed that the present work will become useful when analyzing the present and future results for the kinetics of carbon condensation, obtained from experiments or atomistic simulations.

description: The superconducting fluxonium circuit is an RF-SQUID-type flux qubit that uses a large inductance built from an array of Josephson junctions or a high kinetic inductance material. This inductance suppresses charge sensitivity exponentially and flux sensitivity quadratically. In contrast to the transmon qubit, the anharmonicity of fluxonium can be large and positive, allowing for better separation between the low energy qubit manifold of the circuit and higher-lying excited states. Here, we propose a tunable coupling scheme for implementing two-qubit gates on fixed-frequency fluxonium qubits, biased at half flux quantum. In this system, both qubits and coupler are coupled capacitively and implemented as fluxonium circuits with an additional harmonic mode. We investigate the performance of the scheme by simulating a universal two-qubit fSim gate. In the proposed approach, we rely on a planar on-chip architecture for the whole device. Our design is compatible with existing hardware for transmon-based devices, with the additional advantage of lower qubit frequency facilitating high-precision gating.

description: The authors asked how sport expertise modulates visual field dependence and sensory reweighting for controlling posture. Experienced soccer athletes, ballet dancers, and nonathletes performed (a) a Rod and Frame test and (b) a 100-s bipedal stance task during which vision and proprioception were successively or concurrently disrupted in 20-s blocks. Postural adaptation was assessed in the mean center of pressure displacement, root mean square of center of pressure velocity and ankle muscles integrated electromyography activity. Soccer athletes were more field dependent than were nonathletes. During standing, dancers were more destabilized by vibration and required more time to reweigh sensory information compared with the other 2 groups. These findings reveal a sport skill–specific bias in the reweighing of sensory inputs for spatial orientation and postural control.

description: The natural habitats of microorganisms in the human microbiome and ocean and soil ecosystems are full of colloids and macromolecules, which impart non-Newtonian flow properties drastically affecting the locomotion of swimming microorganisms. Although the low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics of the swimming of flagellated bacteria in simple Newtonian fluids has been well developed, our understanding of bacterial motility in complex non-Newtonian fluids is still primitive. Even after six decades of research, fundamental questions about the nature and origin of bacterial motility enhancement in polymer solutions are still under debate. Here, we study the motility of flagellated bacteria in colloidal suspensions of varying sizes and volume fractions. We find that bacteria in dilute colloidal suspensions display quantitatively the same motile behaviors as those in dilute polymer solutions, where a universal particle-size-dependent motility enhancement up to 80% is uncovered, accompanied by strong suppression of bacterial wobbling. By virtue of the well-controlled size and the hard-sphere nature of colloids, the finding not only resolves the long-standing controversy over bacterial motility enhancement in complex fluids but also challenges all the existing theories using polymer dynamics to address the swimming of flagellated bacteria in dilute polymer solutions. We further develop a simple physical model incorporating the colloidal nature of complex fluids, which quantitatively explains bacterial wobbling dynamics and mobility enhancement in both colloidal and polymeric fluids. Our study sheds light on the puzzling motile behaviors of bacteria in complex fluids relevant to a wide range of microbiological processes and provides a cornerstone in engineering bacterial swimming in complex environments.

description: The cost of the power distribution infrastructures is driven by the peak power encountered in the system. Therefore, the distribution network operators consider billing consumers behind a common transformer in the function of their peak demand and leave it to the consumers to manage their collective costs. This management problem is, however, not trivial. In this paper, we consider a multi-agent residential smart grid system, where each agent has local renewable energy production and energy storage, and all agents are connected to a local transformer. The objective is to develop an optimal policy that minimizes the economic cost consisting of both the spot-market cost for each consumer and their collective peak-power cost. We propose to use a parametric Model Predictive Control (MPC)-scheme to approximate the optimal policy. The optimality of this policy is limited by its finite horizon and inaccurate forecasts of the local power production-consumption. A Deterministic Policy Gradient (DPG) method is deployed to adjust the MPC parameters and improve the policy. Our simulations show that the proposed MPC-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) method can effectively decrease the long-term economic cost for this smart grid problem.

description: Galaxy redshift surveys are designed to map cosmic structures in three dimensions for large-scale structure studies. Nevertheless, limitations due to sampling and the survey window are unavoidable and degrade the cosmological constraints. We present an analysis of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) over the redshift range $0.6 < z < 1$ that is optimised to extract the cosmological parameters while fully accounting for the complex survey geometry. We employ the Gibbs sampling algorithm to iteratively draw samples of the galaxy density field in redshift space, the galaxy bias, the matter density, baryon fraction and growth-rate parameter $fσ_8$ based on a multivariate Gaussian likelihood and prior on the density field. Despite the high number of degrees of freedom, the samples converge to the joint posterior distribution and give self-consistent constraints on the model parameters. We validate the approach using VIPERS mock galaxy catalogues. Although the uncertainty is underestimated by the Gaussian likelihood on the scales that we consider by 50 %, the dispersion of the results from the mock catalogues gives a robust error estimate. We find that the precision of the results matches those of the traditional analyses applied to the VIPERS data that use more constrained models. By relaxing the model assumptions, we confirm that the data deliver consistent constraints on the $Λ$CDM model. This work provides a case-study for the application of maximum-likelihood analyses for the next generation of galaxy redshift surveys.

Optomechanical strong coupling between a single cavity photon and a single atom

description: Single atoms coupled to a cavity offer unique opportunities as quantum optomechanical devices because of their small mass and strong interaction with light. A particular regime of interest in optomechanics is that of "single-photon strong coupling," where motional displacements on the order of the zero-point uncertainty are sufficient to shift the cavity resonance frequency by more than its linewidth. In many cavity QED platforms, however, this is unfeasible due to the large cavity linewidth. Here, we propose an alternative route in such systems, which instead relies on the coupling of atomic motion to the much narrower cavity-dressed atomic resonance frequency. We discuss and optimize the conditions in which the scattering properties of single photons from the atom-cavity system become highly entangled with the atomic motional wave function. We also analyze the prominent observable features of this optomechanical strong coupling, which include a per-photon motional heating that is significantly larger than the single-photon recoil energy, as well as mechanically-induced oscillations in time of the second-order correlation function of the emitted light. This physics should be realizable in current experimental setups, such as trapped atoms coupled to photonic crystal cavities, and more broadly opens the door to realizing qualitatively different phenomena beyond what has been observed in optomechanical systems thus far.

title: Molecular diversity in the Leishmania subgenus Viannia
Creators: name: Nolder, D
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2000

description: The aim of this work was to provide further insight into the relationships between species of the Leishmania subgenus Viannia by examining inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity. Diversity among Viannia strains and stocks was investigated using biochemical and molecular techniques. Isoenzyme and microsatellite analyses were found to be the most discriminatory and generated results which could be interpreted genotypically. These techniques were used to study diversity in Viannia populations consisting of i) Brazilian L V. braziliensis stocks, ii) Nicaraguan stocks belonging to different Viannia species complexes, including putative species-complex hybrids, and iii) uncharacterized stocks from a new epidemic focus in Huanuco, Peru. LEA identified all stocks to at least the species level. Microsatellite analyses using Genescan® / Genotyper® and direct sequencing were found to be more discriminatory than EEA for all populations. The application of Genescan® / Genotyper® to the identification of alleles at these microsatellite loci has not been described previously. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out for each population using enzyme and microsatellite sequence data: phylogenies constructed from multilocus enzyme data were most accurate. Putative species heterozygotes between/,. V. braziliensis/L. V. panamensis and/,. V. braziliensis / L. V. peruviana were identified in the Nicaraguan and Huanuco populations, respectively, using IEA. Microsatellite analysis identified heterozygous stocks in all 3 populations. This approach also supported the hybrid status of the Nicaraguan and Huanuco stocks. Population genetic analysis of stocks from Huanuco provided statistical evidence for a limited degree of genetic recombination between stocks in this population. Results indicated, however, that clonal expansion was the predominant mode of replication. To explore the possibility of the occurrence of genetic recombination between species, genetic transformation experiments were initiated using putative parental stocks from the Nicaraguan population

description: We show experimentally that the fundamental ingredient of wave-based signal differentiation, namely zeros of the scattering matrix that lie exactly on the real axis, can be imposed at will and in situ by purposefully perturbing an overmoded random scattering system. The resulting unprecedented flexibility overcomes current limitations of wave-based differentiators, both regarding their extreme vulnerability due to fabrication inaccuracies or environmental perturbations as well as their lack of in situ adaptability. Moreover, in addition to current miniaturization efforts, we suggest that integrability of wave processors can also be achieved by endowing existing bulky everyday-life systems that naturally scatter waves with a second signal-processing functionality. We demonstrate our technique by placing a programmable metasurface inside a 3D disordered metallic box: the hundreds of available degrees of freedom allow us to impose at will reflection zeros on a connected port, such that the reflected signal envelope is the temporal derivative of the incident one. We demonstrate our ability to toggle between differentiation of envelopes modulated onto distinct carriers. We also parallelize multiple differentiation operations on the same device and implement higher-order differentiators. Our "over-the-air" temporal differentiator for microwave carriers may find civilian and military applications in processing wireless communication or radar signals, for data segmentation and compression, as well as machine vision and hearing. Our generic concept is also applicable to optical, acoustic, and elastic scattering.

description: BACKGROUND: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy, with an annual incidence of 1 or 2 cases per million. Biochemical diagnosis is challenging because up to two-thirds of the carcinomas are biochemically silent, resulting from de facto enzyme deficiencies in steroid hormone biosynthesis. Urine steroid profiling by GC-MS is an effective diagnostic test for ACC because of its capacity to detect and quantify the increased metabolites of steroid pathway synthetic intermediates. Corresponding serum assays for most steroid pathway intermediates are usually unavailable because of low demand or lack of immunoassay specificity. Serum steroid analysis by LC-MS/MS is increasingly replacing immunoassay, in particular for steroids most subject to cross-reaction.METHODS: We developed an LC-MS/MS method for the measurement of serum androstenedione, corticosterone, cortisol, cortisone, 11-deoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, 21-deoxycortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, pregnenolone, 17-hydroxypregnenolone, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and testosterone. Assay value in discriminating ACC from other adrenal lesions (phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma, cortisol-producing adenoma, and lesions demonstrating no hormonal excess) was then investigated.RESULTS: In ACC cases, between 4 and 7 steroids were increased (median = 6), and in the non-ACC groups, up to 2 steroids were increased. 11-Deoxycortisol was markedly increased in all cases of ACC. All steroids except testosterone in males and corticosterone and cortisone in both sexes were of use in discriminating ACC from non-ACC adrenal lesions.CONCLUSIONS: Serum steroid paneling by LC-MS/MS is useful for diagnosing ACC by combining the measurement of steroid hormones and their precursors in a single analysis.

description: The rapidly developing quantum technologies and thermodynamics have put forward a requirement to precisely control and measure the temperature of microscopic matter at the quantum level. Many quantum thermometry schemes have been proposed. However, precisely measuring low temperature is still challenging because the obtained sensing errors generally tend to diverge with decreasing temperature. Using a continuous-variable system as a thermometer, we propose non-Markovian quantum thermometry to measure the temperature of a quantum reservoir. A mechanism to make the sensing error $δT$ scale with the temperature $T$ as the Landau bound $δT\simeq T$ in the full-temperature regime is discovered. Our analysis reveals that it is the quantum criticality of the total thermometer-reservoir system that causes this enhanced sensitivity. Efficiently avoiding the error-divergence problem, our result gives an efficient way to precisely measure the low temperature of quantum systems.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: Optically addressable spin defects in silicon carbide (SiC) are an emerging platform for quantum information processing. Lending themselves to modern semiconductor nanofabrication, they promise scalable high-efficiency spin-photon interfaces. We demonstrate here nanoscale fabrication of silicon vacancy centres (VSi) in 4H-SiC without deterioration of their intrinsic spin-optical properties. In particular, we show nearly transform limited photon emission and record spin coherence times for single defects generated via ion implantation and in triangular cross section waveguides. For the latter, we show further controlled operations on nearby nuclear spin qubits, which is crucial for fault-tolerant quantum information distribution based on cavity quantum electrodynamics.

description: For dose calculations in ion beam therapy, it is vital to accurately determine the relative stopping power (RSP) distribution within the treated volume. Currently, RSP values are extrapolated from Hounsfield units (HU), measured with x-ray computed tomography (CT), which entails RSP inaccuracies due to conversion errors. A suitable method to improve the treatment plan accuracy is proton computed tomography (pCT). A typical pCT system consists of a tracking system and a separate residual energy (or range) detector to measure the RSP distribution directly. This paper introduces a novel pCT system based on a single detector technology, namely low gain avalanche detectors (LGADs). LGADs are fast 4D-tracking detectors, which can be used to simultaneously measure the particle position and time with precise timing and spatial resolution. In contrast to standard pCT systems, the residual energy is determined via a time-of-flight (TOF) measurement between different 4D-tracking stations. The design parameters for a realistic proton computed tomography system based on 4D-tracking detectors were studied and optimized using Monte Carlo simulations. The RSP accuracy and RSP resolution were measured inside the inserts of the CTP404 phantom to estimate the performance of the pCT system. After introducing a dedicated calibration procedure for the TOF calorimeter, RSP accuracies < 0.6 % could be achieved. Furthermore, the design parameters with the strongest impact on the RSP resolution were identified and a strategy to improve RSP resolution is proposed.

description: The study of entanglement properties of multi-qubit states that are invariant under permutations of qubits is motivated by potential applications in quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum metrology. In this work, we generalize the notions of symmetrization, Dicke states, and the Majorana representation to the alternating, cyclic, and dihedral subgroups of the full group of permutations. We use these tools to characterize states that are invariant under these subgroups and analyze their entanglement properties.

description: Cancer develops through a process of somatic evolution1,2. Sequencing data from a single biopsy represent a snapshot of this process that can reveal the timing of specific genomic aberrations and the changing influence of mutational processes3. Here, by whole-genome sequencing analysis of 2,658 cancers as part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)4, we reconstruct the life history and evolution of mutational processes and driver mutation sequences of 38 types of cancer. Early oncogenesis is characterized by mutations in a constrained set of driver genes, and specific copy number gains, such as trisomy 7 in glioblastoma and isochromosome 17q in medulloblastoma. The mutational spectrum changes significantly throughout tumour evolution in 40% of samples. A nearly fourfold diversification of driver genes and increased genomic instability are features of later stages. Copy number alterations often occur in mitotic crises, and lead to simultaneous gains of chromosomal segments. Timing analyses suggest that driver mutations often precede diagnosis by many years, if not decades. Together, these results determine the evolutionary trajectories of cancer, and highlight opportunities for early cancer detection.

description: Background: Recognizing patients with psychological problems can be difficult for general practitioners (GPs). Use of information collected in electronic medical records (EMR) could facilitate recognition. Objectives: To assess relevant EMR parameters in the decade before patients present with psychological problems. Methods: Exploratory case-control study assessing EMR parameters of 58 228 patients recorded between 2013 and 2015 by 54 GPs. We compared EMR parameters recorded before 2014 of patients who presented with psychological problems in 2014 with those who did not. Results: In 2014, 2406 patients presented with psychological problems. Logistic regression analyses indicated that having registrations of the following statistically significant parameters increased the chances of presenting with psychological problems in 2014: prior administration of a depression severity questionnaire (odds ratio (OR): 3.3); fatigue/sleeping (OR: 1.6), neurological (OR: 1.5), rheumatic (OR: 1.5) and substance abuse problems (OR: 1.5); prescriptions of opioids (OR: 1.3), antimigraine preparations (OR: 1.5), antipsychotics (OR: 1.7), anxiolytics (OR: 1.4), hypnotics and sedatives (OR: 1.4), antidepressants (OR: 1.7), and antidementia drugs (OR: 2.1); treatment with minimal interventions (OR: 2.2) and physical exercise (OR: 3.3), referrals to psychology (OR: 1.5), psychiatry (OR: 1.6), and psychosocial care (OR: 2.1); double consultations (OR: 1.2), telephone consultations (OR: 1.1), and home visits (OR: 1.1). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that possible indications of psychological problems can be identified in EMR. Many EMR parameters of patients presenting with psychological problems were different compared with patients who did not.

description: Viele Eigenschaften des SARS-CoV-2019 sind momentan noch nicht bekannt, zum Beispiel der Zeitraum der höchsten Ansteckungsfähigkeit (Infektiosität), die genaue Zeitdauer, bis nach Ansteckung bei einem Infizierten Symptome erkennbar sind (Inkubationszeit), wie schwer die Krankheit verläuft oder über welchen Zeitraum Erkrankte Viren ausscheiden bzw. noch infektiös sind. Die Situation entwickelt sich sehr dynamisch und muss ernst genommen werden. Das RKI beobachtet und analysiert die Lage sehr genau und leitet daraus Empfehlungen für Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen ab, die an die jeweilige Situation angepasst sind.

description: Practical and economical synthesis of synthetically valuable 3,3,3-triethoxypropyne, ketal protected phenyl and methyl substituents prop-2-ynones is described. Bromination and subsequent 18-crown-6 catalyzed elimination of triethylorthoacrylate and ketal protected terminal alkenes with methyl and phenyl substituent which are inturn readily available from triethylorthopropionate, 3-chlorobutan-2-one and propiophenone afforded multigram quantities (>10 g) of corresponding functionalized terminal alkynes. Exploration of the synthetic utility of these alkynes is also demonstrated by the acetylenic substitution of the phenylalaninol derived 1,2-cyclic sulfamidate to deliver chiral alkynylated amines.

description: Resonance coupling in non-Hermitian systems can lead to exotic features, such as bound states in the continuum (BICs) and exceptional points (EPs), which have been widely employed to control the propagation and scattering of light. Yet, similar tools to control diffraction and engineering spatial wavefronts have remained elusive. Here, we show that, by operating a suitably tailored metagrating around a BIC and EPs, it is possible to achieve an extreme degree of control over coupling to different diffraction orders in metasurfaces. We stack subwavelength metallic slit arrays on a metal-insulator-metal waveguide, enabling a careful control of the coupling between localized and guided modes. By periodically tuning the coupling strength from weak to strong, we largely tailor the overall spectrum and enable the emergence of singular features, like BICs and EPs. Perfect unitary diffraction efficiency with large spectrum selectivity is achieved around these singular features, with promising applications for arbitrary wavefront shaping combined with filtering and sensing.
