description: We show that there exists a correspondence between four dimensional gauge theories with simple groups and higher dimensional gauge theories at large N. As an example, we show that a four dimensional {N}=2 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory, on the Higgs branch, has the same correlators as a five dimensional SU(N) gauge theory in the limit of large N provided the couplings are appropriately rescaled. We show that our results can be applied to the AdS/CFT correspondence to derive correlators of five or more dimensional gauge theories from solutions of five dimensional supergravity in the large t'Hooft coupling limit.

description: Bosons in the form of ultra cold alkali atoms can be confined to a one dimensional (1d) domain by the use of harmonic traps. This motivates the study of the ground state occupations $λ_i$ of effective single particle states $ϕ_i$, in the theoretical 1d impenetrable Bose gas. Both the system on a circle and the harmonically trapped system are considered. The $λ_i$ and $ϕ_i$ are the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions respectively of the one body density matrix. We present a detailed numerical and analytic study of this problem. Our main results are the explicit scaled forms of the density matrices, from which it is deduced that for fixed $i$ the occupations $λ_i$ are asymptotically proportional to $\sqrt{N}$ in both the circular and harmonically trapped cases.

description: We studied generation and dynamics of solitonic pulses, platicons, at normal group velocity dispersion due to the pump amplitude modulation. We proposed, that if the required frequency of amplitude modulation is too large for available modulators, it is possible to use subharmonic phase modulation for platicon generation. It was also demonstrated that it is possible to control the repetition rate of platicons by tuning modulation frequency. Tuning range for platicons was found to be much wider than for bright solitons. We also studied the influence of the high-order dispersion on platicon properties. It was shown that both third-order dispersion and pump modulation govern platicon dynamics making it quite different from dynamics of dissipative Kerr solitons. Third-order dispersion was also shown to affect significantly the optimal conditions for the platicon generation and repetition rate tuning range.

description: The present study aims to prepare novel quinoa biosorbent (QB), acid activated QB (QB/Acid) and its nanocomposite with magnetic nanoparticles (QB/MNPs) for batch scale Cr removal from contaminated water. The Cr adsorption was systematically studied at different pH (2–9), adsorbent dosage (1–3 g/L), initial concentration (25–200 mg/L), contact time (180 min) and competing ions in water. Maximum Cr adsorption was observed onto QB/MNPs (57.4 mg/L), followed by QB/Acid (46.35 mg/g) and QB (39.9 mg/g). The Cr removal by QB/MNPs was higher than QB/Acid and QB. Results revealed that the highest Cr removal was obtained at optimum pH 4, 25 mg/L, and 2 g/L dosage. The FTIR spectra displayed various functional groups on adsorbents surface serving as a potential scaffold to remove Cr from contaminated water. The equilibrium and kinetic Cr adsorption data best fitted with Freundlich and pseudo-second order models, respectively (R2 ≥ 0.96). The QB/MNPs showed excellent reusability in five adsorption/desorption cycles (4.7% decline) with minor leaching of Fe (below threshold level). The coexisting ions in groundwater showed an inhibitory effect on Cr sequestration (5%) from water. The comparison of Cr adsorption by QB/MNPs and QB/Acid showed better potential for Cr sequestration than various previously explored adsorbents in the literature. Quinoa is a cereal crop and after harvesting quinoa straws are either burnt or thrown away which can cause several environmental problems. It would be beneficial to utilize quinoa straws and its modified forms as adsorbents for the water remediation. Therefore, current study aims to estimate the adsorption capacity of quinoa biomass as biosorbent (QB) and its modifications (QB/Acid and QB/MNPs) to treat Cr (VI) contaminated water. The influence of various parameters governing the Cr removal from water has been evaluated. The reusability of QB/MNPs has also been evaluated for its economical use without losing effectiveness for Cr removal from water. The comparison of Cr adsorption by QB/MNPs and QB/Acid showed better adsorption potential for Cr sequestration than various previously explored adsorbents in the literature.

description: Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are still suffering from unfavorable survival. BTB and CNC homology1 (Bach1) is a regulator of oxidative stress and participates in the pathogenesis of multiple lung diseases. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effect of Bach1 knockdown on fibrosis and inflammation in pulmonary fibrosis (PF) mice and cell models. Bleomycin induced PF mice were constructed and treated with Bach1 siRNA adenovirus (BLM + Bach1 siRNA group), control siRNA adenovirus (BLM + Control siRNA group) or normal saline (BLM group), then lung tissues were collected for Bach1 expression detection, H&E staining and Masson’s trichrome staining. Afterwards, collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expressions in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were examined. Subsequently, mouse lung fibroblasts (MLFs) were collected from PF mice and treated with TGF-β1 to construct PF cell model, which was treated with Bach1 siRNA adenovirus (TGF-β1 + Bach1 siRNA group) and MAP kinase (ERK) inhibitor U0126 alone (TGF-β1 + U0126 group) or in combination (TGF-β1 + U0126 + Bach1 siRNA group), then alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibronectin 1 (Fn1), COL1A1, IL-6 expressions and cell viability were detected. Lung tissue Bach1 mRNA and protein expressions were upregulated in PF mice compared to control mice. Bach1 knockdown reduced lung fibrosis (displayed by Masson’s trichrome staining) and inflammation (displayed by H&E staining), then downregulated serum and BALF expressions of COL1A1 and IL-6 in PF mice. Subsequently, in PF cell model, Bach1 knockdown blocked ERK pathway, but did not affect Smads, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) or thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 (Akt) pathways. Further experiments revealed that Bach1 knockdown repressed cell viability, α-SMA, Fn1, IL-6 and COL1A1 expressions in PF cell model, then ERK inhibition by U0126 enhanced these effects. Bach1 is involved in the PF pathogenesis via modulating ERK signaling pathway.

description: Oral bisphosphonates (BPs) are a first-line treatment for osteoporosis. It is becoming a hot topic to identify new indicators for the early prediction of therapeutic effects and adverse reactions during the long-term use of BPs. To determine whether microRNA (miRNA) expression is modulated by long-term BPs treatment, we performed miRNA expression profiling analysis in patients receiving long-term BP treatment for postmenopausal OP. To assess the effect of BPs on miRNA expression, we used an Affymetrix Genechip miRNA array to analyze serum samples obtained from postmenopausal OP patients on long-term BP treatment and healthy controls. MiRNAs affected by BPs and their predicted targets were examined. We also investigated the effects of miRNA on osteoblast differentiation in vitro and on ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. We observed that the level of miR-30a-5p was significantly increased in patients receiving long-term BP treatment for postmenopausal OP. Furthermore, miR-30a-5p was negatively correlated with bone formation. Consistent with this, in vitro osteoblast activity and matrix mineralization were increased by an antagomir of miR-30a-5p and decreased by an agomir of miR-30a-5p. We also found that miR-30a-5p directly targeted RUNX1 to inhibit osteoblastic differentiation. Consistent with the in vitro results, miR-30a-5p antagomir administration promoted bone formation in ovariectomized mice. Our findings identified miR-30a-5p as a novel mediator of long-term BP treatment that regulates bone formation in postmenopausal OP patients.

description: Unitary Evolution Recurrent Neural Networks (uRNNs) have three attractive properties: (a) the unitary property, (b) the complex-valued nature, and (c) their efficient linear operators. The literature so far does not address -- how critical is the unitary property of the model? Furthermore, uRNNs have not been evaluated on large tasks. To study these shortcomings, we propose the complex evolution Recurrent Neural Networks (ceRNNs), which is similar to uRNNs but drops the unitary property selectively. On a simple multivariate linear regression task, we illustrate that dropping the constraints improves the learning trajectory. In copy memory task, ceRNNs and uRNNs perform identically, demonstrating that their superior performance over LSTMs is due to complex-valued nature and their linear operators. In a large scale real-world speech recognition, we find that pre-pending a uRNN degrades the performance of our baseline LSTM acoustic models, while pre-pending a ceRNN improves the performance over the baseline by 0.8% absolute WER.

description: We prove that the Fermi surface of a connected doubly periodic self-adjoint discrete graph operator is irreducible at all but finitely many energies provided that the graph (1) can be drawn in the plane without crossing edges (2) has positive coupling coefficients (3) has two vertices per period. If "positive" is relaxed to "complex", the only cases of reducible Fermi surface occur for the graph of the tetrakis square tiling, and these can be explicitly parameterized when the coupling coefficients are real. The irreducibility result applies to weighted graph Laplacians with positive weights.

description: This paper focuses on a design-consistent regression estimator in which the “auxiliaries” are estimated from a stratified cluster sample and the regression coefficients from an arbitrary subsample of the original sample. The reweighted expansion estimator described in Stukel and Kott (1997) is an example of such an estimator. Assuming that the target variable is a linear function of the auxiliaries plus an error term, asymptotic properties for both this estimator and the jackknife estimator of its mean squared error are developed. These theoretical results are used to explain some of Stukel and Kott’s empirical findings, which in turn shed light on the asymptotic underpinnings of the theoretical results.

description: We have proposed a fully quantum approach to non-perturbatively calculate the spin-split Landau levels and g-factor of various spin-orbit coupled solids, based on the k.p theory in the matrix mechanics representation. The new method considers the detailed band structure and the multiband effect of spin-orbit coupling irrespective of the magnetic field strength. An application of this method to PbTe, a typical Dirac electron system, is shown. Contrary to popular belief, it is shown that the spin-splitting parameter M, which is the ratio of the Zeeman to cyclotron energy, exhibits a remarkable magnetic-field-dependence. This field-dependence can rectify the existing discrepancy between experimental and theoretical results. We have also shown that M evaluated from the fan diagram plot is different from that determined as the ratio of the Zeeman to cyclotron energy, which also overturns common belief.

description: The highly mutated BA.2.86, with over 30 spike protein mutations in comparison to Omicron BA.2 and XBB.1.5 variants, has raised concerns about its potential to evade COVID-19 vaccination or prior SARS-CoV-2 infection-elicited immunity. In this study, we employ a live SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assay to compare the neutralization evasion ability of BA.2.86 with other emerged SARS-CoV-2 subvariants, including BA.2-derived CH.1.1, Delta-Omicron recombinant XBC.1.6, and XBB descendants XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, XBB.2.3, EG.5.1 and FL.1.5.1. Our results show that BA.2.86 is less neutralization evasive than XBB sublineages. XBB descendants XBB.1.16, EG.5.1, and FL.1.5.1 continue to significantly evade neutralization induced by the parental COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and a BA.5 Bivalent booster. Notably, when compared to XBB.1.5, the more recent XBB descendants, particularly EG.5.1, display increased resistance to neutralization. Among all the tested variants, CH.1.1 exhibits the greatest neutralization evasion. In contrast, XBC.1.6 shows a slight reduction but remains comparably sensitive to neutralization when compared to BA.5. Furthermore, a recent XBB.1.5-breakthrough infection significantly enhances the breadth and potency of cross-neutralization. These findings reinforce the expectation that the upcoming XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccine would likely boost the neutralization of currently circulating variants, while also underscoring the critical importance of ongoing surveillance to monitor the evolution and immune evasion potential of SARS-CoV-2 variants.

AbstractUpadacitinib (Rinvoq™), an orally-administered Janus kinase 1 (JAK-1) inhibitor, is being developed by AbbVie for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In August 2019, based on positive results from multinational phase III trials conducted in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, upadacitinib received marketing approval in the USA for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of upadacitinib leading to this first approval for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

description: Fast covariance calculation is required both for SLAM (e.g.~in order to solve data association) and for evaluating the information-theoretic term for different candidate actions in belief space planning (BSP). In this paper we make two primary contributions. First, we develop a novel general-purpose incremental covariance update technique, which efficiently recovers specific covariance entries after any change in the inference problem, such as introduction of new observations/variables or re-linearization of the state vector. Our approach is shown to recover them faster than other state-of-the-art methods. Second, we present a computationally efficient approach for BSP in high-dimensional state spaces, leveraging our incremental covariance update method. State of the art BSP approaches perform belief propagation for each candidate action and then evaluate an objective function that typically includes an information-theoretic term, such as entropy or information gain. Yet, candidate actions often have similar parts (e.g. common trajectory parts), which are however evaluated separately for each candidate. Moreover, calculating the information-theoretic term involves a costly determinant computation of the entire information (covariance) matrix which is O(n^3) with n being dimension of the state or costly Schur complement operations if only marginal posterior covariance of certain variables is of interest. Our approach, rAMDL-Tree, extends our previous BSP method rAMDL, by exploiting incremental covariance calculation and performing calculation re-use between common parts of non-myopic candidate actions, such that these parts are evaluated only once, in contrast to existing approaches.

description: The electronic transitions of 4-(decyloxy) benzoic acid (4DOBA), 4-undecyloxybenzoic acid (4UDOBA) and 4-(dodecyloxy) benzoic acid (4DDOBA) liquid crystals (LCs) have been investigated by using optical absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectra of in a series of different polarity organic solvents. Two electronic transition bands have been observed in steady-state fluorescence spectra. The solvatochromic properties, electronic transitions and electronic structure of LC compounds have been interpreted to relation with molecular structure. Solvatochromism determining as quantitative to solvent-solute interactions (linear solvent energy relationships) have done by using Kamlet-Taft and Catalan solvatochromism. The electrical dipole moments and electronic absorbance of the LCs molecules states were calculated by using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method and basis set. The ground state experimental electrical dipole moments were determined by Bilot-Kawski method, when the excited state electric dipole moments were determined by Lippert-Mataga, Bakshiev, Kawski-Chamma-Viallet and Reichardt method, respectively. HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital), LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital), MEP (Molecular Electrostatic Potential) and SAS (Solvent Accessibility Surface) shapes of molecules in both monomer and dimer structure have been drawn and they are proved to be dimers.

description: He-accreting white dwarfs with sub-Chandrasekhar mass are revisited. The impact of the use of an extended reaction network on the predicted energy production and characteristics of the detonating layers is studied. It is shown that the considered scenario can be the site of an $α$p-process combined with a p-process and with a variant of the rp-process we refer to as the pn-process. We define the conditions under which the derived distribution of the abundances of the p-nuclides in the ejecta, including the puzzling light Mo and Ru isotopes, mimics the solar-system one.

description: We have synthesised a series of lactic acid derivatives and studied their mesomorphic properties. Studied compounds consist of a molecular core laterally substituted by a chlorine atom, and we modified both terminal chains. We concentrated on the effect of the terminal alkyl chain length in the chiral part. For selected homologues, both enantiomers were prepared and mixed in racemic mixtures. We studied the mesomorphic behaviour and for one homologue a reentrancy of the SmA phase below the tilted SmC phase was detected, for both chiral enantiomers and for the racemic mixture. For chiral compounds with the SmC* phase, ferroelectric properties were studied by dielectric spectroscopy and switching properties were described. Reentrancy of the SmA phase was experimentally proved by several experimental techniques including x-ray measurements. For racemic mixtures and non-chiral analogues, we reached a good alignment, which allowed us to measure the birefringence and analyse the behaviour at the phase transitions.

description: We report the possibility of achieving an order of magnitude reduction in the energy dissipation needed to write bits in perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (p-MTJs) by simulating the magnetization dynamics under a combination of resonant surface acoustic waves (r-SAW) and spin-transfer-torque (STT). The magnetization dynamics were simulated using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation under macrospin assumption with the inclusion of thermal noise. The resonant magnetization dynamics in the magnetostrictive nanomagnet build over few 10s of cycles of SAW application that drives the magnetization to precess in a cone with a deflection of ~45 degrees from the perpendicular direction. This reduces the STT current density required to switch the magnetization direction without increasing the STT application time or degrading the switching probability in the presence of room temperature thermal noise. This could lead to a pathway to achieve energy efficient switching of spin transfer torque random access memory (STTRAM) whose lateral dimensions can be scaled aggressively despite using materials with low magnetostriction by employing resonant excitation.

description: Purpose: The storage-only deficit and joint mechanism deficit hypotheses are 2 possible explanations of the verbal working memory (vWM) storage capacity limitation of school-age children with developmental language disorder (DLD). We assessed the merits of each hypothesis in a large group of children with DLD and a group of same-age typically developing (TD) children.Method: Participants were 117 children with DLD and 117 propensity-matched TD children 7–11 years of age. Children completed tasks indexing vWM capacity, verbal short-term storage, sustained attention, attention switching, and lexical long-term memory (LTM).Results: For the DLD group, all of the mechanisms jointly explained 26.5% of total variance. Storage accounted for the greatest portion (13.7%), followed by controlled attention (primarily sustained attention; 6.5%) and then lexical LTM (5.6%). For the TD group, all 3 mechanisms together explained 43.9% of total variance. Storage accounted for the most variance (19.6%), followed by lexical LTM (16.0%), sustained attention (5.4%), and attention switching (3.0%). There was a significant LTM × Group interaction, in which stronger LTM scores were associated with significantly higher vWM capacity scores for the TD group as compared to the DLD group.Conclusions: Results support a joint mechanism deficit account of the vWM capacity limitation of children with DLD. Results provide substantively new insights into the underlying factors of the vWM capacity limitation in DLD.

description: Survey response rates have been declining over the last several decades. In terms of telephone surveys, this decline is often attributed to the wide availability of call screening technologies and respondents’ reluctance to answer calls from unknown numbers. This has led some to posit that calling respondents from local area codes (or familiar area codes) and using identifiers that are both recognizable and trustworthy may improve survey response rates. In fact, anecdotal evidence within our own agency has suggested that this may be the case; however, research outside of our agency has produced mixed findings in regards to these claims. At the National Agricultural Statistics Service, we conducted a series of experiments to determine if the information presented on caller ID would influence response rates. Specifically, we examined whether calling respondents using in-state area codes rather than out-of-state area codes and different identifiers (i.e., USDA versus Ag Counts) improved response rates. In addition, we surveyed respondents regarding their use of caller ID and its influence on their decision to answer our call. In this report, we discuss the findings from this study and their implications.
