description: To date, there is very little information regarding the pathomechanism of IgAanaphylactoid reactions and the management of affected patients. Five adultpatients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and a history ofanaphylactic reactions due to the administration of immunoglobulin prepa-rations were studied. The activity of anti-IgA was determined by the gelagglutination technique using IgA-coated beads. Antibodies to IgA weredetected in the serum of all five patients. Initially, IgA ‘depleted’ intravenous(i.v.) IgG preparations were infused carefully into the patients until the activ-ity of anti-IgA was decreased significantly or became undetectable. Subse-quently, unselected i.v. IgG preparations were infused, and the activity ofanti-IgA was abolished in all cases. Intravenous IgG long-term administrationresults in tolerance induction in patients with IgA anaphylactoid reactions.This tolerance appears to be related to antibody blockage in the circulationand an inhibition of antibody production. Most importantly, IgA appears toplay an important role in the treatment of CVID. Patients with IgA anaphy-lactoid reactions can be treated safely with IgA containing i.v. IgG prepara-tions following tolerance induction.

description: B meson rare decays ($B\to K(K^{*})l\bar l$ and $B\to K^*γ$) are analyzed in the framework of effective field theory of heavy quarks. The semileptonic and penguin type form factors for these decays are calculated by using the light cone sum rules method at the leading order of $1/m_Q$ expansion. Four exact relations between the two types of form factors are obtained at the leading order of $1/m_Q$ expansion. Of particular, the relations are found to hold for whole momentum transfer region. We also investigate the validity of the relations resulted from the large energy effective theory based on the general relations obtained in the present approach. The branching ratios of the rare decays are presented and their potential importance for extracting the CKM matrix elements and probing new physics is emphasized.

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a leading-edge experiment designed to perform neutrino science and proton decay searches. In particular, the far detector will consist of four 10-kton Liquid Argon (LAr) Time Projection Chambers using both single and dual-phase technologies. The latter provides charge amplification in the gaseous phase. In order to optimize these designs, two large prototypes are taking data at CERN since 2018. Previously, a dual-phase 4-tonne demonstrator was constructed and exposed to cosmic muons in 2017 and exhibited good performance in terms of charge and light collection. The light detection system is important to provide a trigger to the charge acquisition system and to obtain additional information from the scintillation light produced in the particle interaction. In the demonstrator, five cryogenic photo-multipliers were installed with different base polarity configurations and wavelength shifting methods. During the detector operation, scintillation light data were collected in different drift and amplification field conditions. An overview of the light detection system performance and results on the light production and propagation are presented. Our studies allowed to improve the understanding of some LAr properties.

description: Diclofenac has been implicated in many cases of life-threatening immune hemolytic anemia (IHA). Nevertheless, confusion still occurs at the bedside and in the laboratory. Herein we report nine new patients and summarize all published cases (total, n = 61). Direct and indirect antiglobulin tests were performed according to standard procedures. Tests for drug-dependent antibodies were performed in the presence and absence of the target drugs and their ex vivo antigens (in the urine of patients treated with the drug). Diclofenac- and/or ex-vivo-antigen-dependent red cell antibodies were detected in all new cases. We identified nine new cases with diclofenac-dependent IHA. All cases were initially suspected to have an abdominal illness and/or autoimmune hemolytic anemia of warm type. Acute renal failure was present in three of the 9 new patients and in 20 of 37 published patients. Seven of the 46 patients died (15%), and clinical information is lacking in 15 other published cases. Diclofenac-dependent and/or ex-vivo-antigen-dependent IHA should always be considered when a patient on diclofenac develops acute renal failure and/or IHA. Am. J.

Issues such as ``locality,'' ``non-locality'' and superluminal signaling are addressed in the context of the model which has the virtue of extreme simplicity. The formalism of the model is related to that of the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics.

description: We investigate CP violation asymmetry in the decay of tau slepton into a tau neutrino and a chargino in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The new source of CP violation is the complex mixing in the tau slepton sector. The rate asymmetry between the decays of tau slepton and its CP conjugate process can be of order of $10^{-3}$ in some region of the parameter space of the mSUGRA scenario, which will possibly be detectable in the near-future collider experiments.

description: We show that the divergence of extreme ultraviolet pulses from high harmonic generation, which is directly linked to the shape and size of the refocused beam, can be controlled by the relative delay between the fundamental and its intense orthogonally polarized second harmonic in two-color high-harmonic generation. We find that the divergence is minimized close to the delays were the number of emitted photons is maximized. These findings are rationalized as suppression and enhancement of long and short electron trajectories as function of the phase of the two-color laser field, respectively. The orthogonally polarized second harmonic introduces a lateral momentum component that can select one trajectory whereas it deflects the other. At the same time, the second harmonic profoundly influences the tunnel ionization process that initiates high-harmonic generation, which provides another trajectory gate. Our scheme for controlling the divergence facilitates larger numerical apertures for extreme ultraviolet microscopy. In addition, the associated reduction of the size of the focus is beneficial for extreme ultraviolet nonlinear optics and spectroscopy, as well as imaging and metrology of embedded structures.

description: The Cromer blood group system consists of eight high incidence and three low incidence antigens carried on decay-accelerating factor (DAF). This report describes the identification and characterization of a new Cromer high incidence antigen, named SERF. Sequence analyses of DNA from a Thai female whose serum contained the alloantibody to a high incidence antigen in the Cromer blood group system (anti-SERF) and from her two children were performed. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequence analysis on cDNA from the proband and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis on DNA from Thais were also performed. To map the epitope, DAF deletion mutants were tested by immunoblotting with anti-SERF. Sequence analysis revealed a substitution of 647C>T in exon 5 DAF in the proband. The proband's two children and two of 100 Thais were heterozygotes 647C/T. Analysis using DAF deletion mutants revealed the antigenic determinant to be within short consensus repeat 3 (SCR3), which is encoded by exon 5. This study describes a novel high incidence antigen (SERF) in the Cromer blood group system characterized by the amino acid proline at position 182 in SCR3 of DAF. The SERF-negative proband has a substitution mutation that predicts for leucine at this position. SERF has been provisionally assigned the International Society of Blood Transfusion number 021·012 (CROM 12).

description: We develop a Bayesian framework for estimating non-stationary Markov models in situations where macro population data is available only on the proportion of individuals residing in each state, but micro-level sample data is available on observed transitions between states. Posterior distributions on non-stationary transition probabilities are derived from a micro-based prior and a macro-based likelihood using potentially asynchronous data observations, providing a new method for inferring transition probabilities that merges previously disparate approaches. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate how observed micro transitions can improve the precision of posterior information. We provide an empirical application in the context of farm structural change.

description: Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems in car-to-cyclist frontal collisions by simulating their effects, in terms of crash avoidance and injury mitigation, on a representative target population of real-world accidents. Identifying effectiveness-critical AEB–cyclist design parameters through a sensitivity analysis was also targeted. Methods: The analysis is based on a representative set of real-world car-to-cyclist frontal collisions gathered from French police reports. AEB–cyclist-relevant accident cases were first selected and used to build injury risk curves for fatal, severe, and slight cyclist injuries. The effect of AEB–cyclist on these cases was then simulated by means of a car kinematic model involving sensor detection strategies and actuator actions. Combining the resulting simulated impact speed distributions with the injury risk curves allowed to assess AEB–cyclist’s effectiveness in terms of lives saved and mitigated injuries. Using design of experiments methods, the sensitivity of this effectiveness with regards to AEB–cyclist design parameters could be assessed. Results: Cyclist injury risks curves were built, along with their confidence intervals, for fatal, severe, and slight injuries using a polytomous complementary log–log regression model, with squared impact speed as an independent variable. A sensitivity analysis on an ideal bisensor AEB–cyclist setting highlighted influential design parameters such as maximal braking intensity or crucial decision algorithm parameters such as maximal time and distance to collision thresholds. AEB–cyclist effectiveness was nevertheless shown to range from 35% to 59% in fatalities, 14% to 54% in severe injuries, and 11% to 42% in slight injuries, depending on field of view parameters alone, once reference values of decision algorithm parameters had been set. Conclusions: This study illustrates the potential benefits and limits of AEB–cyclist systems. High-end systems show acceptable effectiveness rates, but road safety performance strongly depends on external factors such as road surface conditions or has to be tuned in order to avoid unnecessary activations and driver discomfort. Limits of the system’s everyday use (lack of maintenance, driver reaction time to collision warnings, etc.) were not taken into account, thus resulting in optimistic evaluations of AEB–cyclist effectiveness.
Full consideration of acoustic phonon scatterings in two-dimensional Dirac materials

description: The in-plane acoustic phonon scattering in graphene is solved by considering fully inelastic acoustic phonon scatterings in two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials for large range of temperature ($T$) and chemical potential ($μ$). Rigorous analytical solutions and symmetry properties of Fermionic and Bosonic functions are obtained. We illustrate how doping alters the temperature dependence of acoustic phonon scattering rates. It is shown that the quasi-elastic and ansatz equations previously derived for acoustic phonon scatterings in graphene are limiting cases of the inelastic-scattering equations derived here. For heavily-doped graphene, we found that the high-$T$ behavior of resistivity is better described by $ρ(T, μ) \propto T(1 - ζ_aμ^2/3(k_BT)^2)$ rather than a linear $T$ behavior, and in the low $T$ regime we found $τ^{-1} \propto (k_BT)^4$ but with a different prefactor (i.e. $\sim$ 3 times smaller) in comparison with the existing quasi-elastic expressions. Furthermore, we found a simple analytic "semi-inelastic" expression of the form $τ^{-1} \propto (k_BT)^4/(1+ c T^3)$ which matches nearly perfectly with the full inelastic results for any temperature up to 500 K and $μ$ up to 1 eV. Our simple analytic results agree well with previous first-principles studies and available experimental data. Moreover, we obtain an analytical form for the acoustic gauge field $β_A = 3βγ_0/4\sqrt{2}$. Our analyses pave a way for investigating scatterings between electrons and other fundamental excitations with linear dispersion relation in 2D Dirac material-based heterostructures such as bogolon-mediated electron scattering in graphene-based hybrid Bose-Fermi systems.

Evidence of Intermittent Cascades from Discrete Hierarchical Dissipation in Turbulence

description: We present the results of a search of log-periodic corrections to scaling in the moments of the energy dissipation rate in experiments at high Reynolds number (2500) of three-dimensional fully developed turbulence. A simple dynamical representation of the Richardson-Kolmogorov cartoon of a cascade shows that standard averaging techniques erase by their very construction the possible existence of log-periodic corrections to scaling associated with a discrete hierarchy. To remedy this drawback, we introduce a novel ``canonical'' averaging that we test extensively on synthetic examples constructed to mimick the interplay between a weak log-periodic component and rather strong multiplicative and phase noises. Our extensive tests confirm the remarkable observation of statistically significant log-periodic corrections to scaling, with a prefered scaling ratio for length scales compatible with the value gamma = 2. A strong confirmation of this result is provided by the identification of up to 5 harmonics of the fundamental log-periodic undulations, associated with up to 5 levels of the underlying hierarchical dynamical structure. A natural interpretation of our results is that the Richardson-Kolmogorov mental picture of a cascade becomes a realistic description if one allows for intermittent births and deaths of discrete cascades at varying scales.

description: CD47 deficiency results in lethal autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) and mild spontaneous thrombocytopenia in non-obese diabetic mice. It is unknown whether CD47 has an impact on AIHA of the warm type or autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in humans. Healthy blood donors (n= 11), patients with AIHA (n= 13), patients with ITP (n= 18) and one patient with Rhnull phenotype were investigated. CD47 expression on red blood cells (RBC), platelets, granulocytes and lymphocytes and in plasma was determined by quantitative flow cytometry. All types of blood cells studied were found to carry CD47. Although CD47 expression on Rhnull RBCs was decreased, there was no significant difference between CD47 expression on RBCs of healthy blood donors and on those of patients with AIHA or ITP. Similarly, CD47 was detectable in the plasma of the studied subjects. No evidence for a pathogenetic role of CD47 in autoimmune haemolysis or thrombocytopenia in humans could be demonstrated.

description: Limited research has been completed on the relationship between ethnicity and views within a country on the environment, pressures on the environment and its management. Some recent New Zealand research has found no significant difference in environmental world views between different ethnic groupings. We report selected results from a decade of biennial, nationwide surveys of adults in New Zealand. By socio-demographic measures, respondents are broadly representative of New Zealand adults. In each biennial survey we have found significant differences between ethnicities in views on water quality, causes of damage to water, and water management. There are also significant differences between ethnicities in participation in environmental activities. Our survey has an advantage over other work in that it is able to distinguish between indigenous New Zealanders and native-born New Zealanders, a distinction that proved helpful in identifying these significant differences.

description: Determination of fetomaternal haemorrhage (FMH) remains an area of difficulty. In most cases, prophylactic Rh immunoglobulin is usually administered to affected women without testing for foetal red blood cells (RBC). Here, we describe a new particle gel immunoassay (PaGIA) for the determination FMH (FMH-PaGIA). Superparamagnetic particles were coated with monoclonal anti-D and mixed with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-anticoagulated blood samples from D-negative pregnant women. The particles were isolated using a magnetic particle concentrator and then placed into the reaction chamber of a gel card. Agglutinated particles on top or dispersed through the gel matrix indicated the presence of D-positive cells. After the test was adapted to detect ≥0·3% D-positive RBC, randomly selected postpartum samples from 208 women were analysed in parallel with the Kleihauer–Betke test (KBT). In addition, all discrepancies were further analysed by flow cytometry. A total of 203 of the 208 postpartum samples were negative in both tests. One sample reacted positive with both assays. Two samples were strongly positive in the new FMH-PaGIA, but negative in the KBT. A serological re-examination revealed that both women were D positive. The KBT gave a false-positive result in two cases because of hereditary persistence of haemoglobin F. The new test is specific, easy to perform and can be done at any time in all laboratories.

description: We construct explicit models of multi-field inflation in which the primordial metric fluctuations do not necessarily obey Gaussian statistics. These models are realizations of mechanisms in which non-Gaussianity is first generated by a light scalar field and then transferred into curvature fluctuations. The probability distribution functions of the metric perturbation at the end of inflation are computed. This provides a guideline for designing strategies to search for non-Gaussian signals in future CMB and large scale structure surveys.

description: Heavy sterile neutrinos with masses ${\mathcal O}(100)$ MeV mixing with active neutrinos can be produced in the core of a collapsing supernova (SN). In order to avoid an excessive energy loss, shortening the observed duration of the SN 1987A neutrino burst, we show that the active-sterile neutrino mixing angle should satisfy $\sin^2 θ\lesssim 5 \times 10^{-7}$. For a mixing with tau flavour, this bound is much stronger than the ones from laboratory searches. Moreover, we show that in the viable parameter space the decay of such "heavy" sterile neutrinos in the SN envelope would lead to a very energetic flux of daughter active neutrinos; if not too far below current limits, this would be detectable in large underground neutrino observatories, like Super-Kamiokande, as a (slightly time-delayed) high-energy bump in the spectrum of a forthcoming Galactic SN event.

description: This is the first paper which empirically estimates the capitalization of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) into land values. Although, the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) is the largest expenditure category in the EU budget, the distributional impacts between land users and land owners have not been assessed empirically yet. We employ a unique farm-level panel data set, and apply the generalized propensity score matching approach to estimate the capitalization of the SPS in EU. Our results suggest that around 6-10 percent of the total SPS are capitalized into land rents. On average in the EU, the non-farming landowners' gains from the SPS are only 4 percent. However, there is a large variation in the capitalization rate for different SPS levels, and between different Member States (3 to 94 percent).

description: We propose a natural Higgs sector in E_6 grand unified theory (GUT) with anomalous U(1)_A gauge symmetry. In the scenario, the doublet-triplet splitting can be realized while the proton decay via dimension 5 operator is suppressed. The gauge coupling unification is also realized without finetuning. The GUT scale is generally lower than the usual GUT scale 2\times 10^{16} GeV, the proton decay via dimension 6 operator can be seen in near future experiment. The lifetime of nucleon in the model is roughly estimated as τ_p(p\to e^+π^0)\sim 3\times 10^{33} years. It is shown that the Higgs sector is compatible with the matter sector proposed by one of the authors, which reproduces the realistic quark and lepton mass matrices including bi-large neutrino mixing angle. Combining the Higgs sector and the matter sector, we can obtain the totally consistent E_6 GUT. The input parameters are only 8 integer anomalous U(1)_A charges (+3 for singlet Higgs) for the Higgs sector and 3 (half) integer charges for the matter sector.

description: The latest reform of the CAP, CAP towards 2020, opens up the possibility to arrange agri-environmental service provision via contracting groups of farmers, rather than contracting individual farmers. The Dutch government decided to fully switch to a farmer group service provision system in 2016. The paper analyses the new organisational framework that now is derived and links it to the Dutch tradition of environmental cooperatives. Issues of collective action, transaction costs, information problems, effectiveness, accountability, and procurement efficiency are analysed in a qualitative way. It is concluded that the Dutch model is promising, although not without risks. Its implementation path seems properly chosen. However, in order to fully reap the benefits possible under the new system one need to reduce restrictions and increase incentives.

description: Background and objectives. ABO-incompatible red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are a major risk in transfusion medicine. Identification of factors leading to this hazard is important to improve transfusion safety. Material and methods. All consecutive erroneous ABO-incompatible transfusions occurring from January 1997 to December 2004 at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany were analysed. Results. A total of 343,432 RBC units were transfused, and eight patients erroneously received 13 ABO-incompatible RBC concentrates. The most frequent error was incorrect bedside testing (n = 7). Intensive care treatment was required in two cases, but there were no fatal mistransfusions. Four patients had no or only mild reactions. Conclusion. Mistransfusions are still a considerable risk in transfusion medicine despite quality control systems and electronic data processing. An increase in transfusion safety may require the introduction of further systems, e.g. radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags.
Higher-order perturbative coefficients in QCD from series acceleration by conformal mappings

description: The present calculations in perturbative QCD reach the order $α_s^4$ for several correlators calculated to five loops, and the huge computational difficulties make unlikely the full six-loop calculation in the near future. This situation has practical consequences, in particular the treatment of the higher orders of the perturbation series for the current-current correlator of light quarks is one of the main sources of errors in the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic $τ$ decays. Several approximate estimates of the next coefficients of the corresponding Adler function have been proposed, using various arguments. In the present paper we exploit the analytic structure of the Adler function in the Borel plane, which allows the definition of an improved perturbative expansion in powers of a conformal variable which maps the cut Borel plane onto the unit disk. The new expansions converge in a larger domain of the Borel plane and, when reexpanded in powers of the strong coupling, yield definite values for the higher perturbative coefficients. We apply the method to the Adler function in the $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme and to a suitable weighted integral of this function in the complex $s$ plane, chosen such as to avoid model-dependent assumptions on analyticity. Our results $c_{5,1}=287 \pm 40$, $c_{6,1}=2948 \pm 208$ and $c_{7,1}=(1.89 \pm 0.75)\times 10^4$, for the six, seven and eigth-loop coefficients, respectively, agree with a recent determination from Padé approximants applied to the perturbative expansion of the hadronic $τ$ decay rate.

description: Purpose: To determine the incidence of contralateral eye involvement and retinal detachment in HIV-infected patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis treated with repeated intravitreous ganciclovir. Methods: In a prospective cohort study in Northern Thailand, HIV-infected patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis were treated with antiretroviral therapy and intravitreous ganciclovir injections and followed for 3 months for contralateral cytomegalovirus retinitis and retinal detachment. Results: Of 49 participants with unilateral cytomegalovirus retinitis at enrollment, 7 developed contralateral eye involvement (4.8/100 person-months, 95% CI 1.9–9.8). Of 105 eyes without a retinal detachment at enrollment, 6 developed a retinal detachment (2.0/100 eye-months, 95% CI 0.7–4.3). Baseline clinical factors were not associated with the development of either outcome. Conclusion: Eyes treated with intravitreous ganciclovir experienced retinal detachment at a rate similar to other populations treated with systemic antivirals. The risk of contralateral eye involvement was relatively high during the first 3 months after initial diagnosis despite the institution of antiretroviral therapy.

Primordial Black Holes from a tiny bump/dip in the Inflaton potential

description: Scalar perturbations during inflation can be substantially amplified by tiny features in the inflaton potential. A bump-like feature behaves like a local speed-breaker and lowers the speed of the scalar field, thereby locally enhancing the scalar power spectrum. A bump-like feature emerges naturally if the base inflaton potential $V_b(ϕ)$ contains a local correction term such as $V_b(ϕ)\left[1+\varepsilon(ϕ)\right]$ at $ϕ=ϕ_0$. The presence of such a localised correction term at $ϕ_0$ leads to a large peak in the curvature power spectrum and to an enhanced probability of black hole formation. Remarkably this does not significantly affect the scalar spectral index $n_{_S}$ and tensor to scalar ratio $r$ on CMB scales. Consequently such models can produce higher mass primordial black holes ($M_{\rm PBH}\geq 1 M_{\odot}$) in contrast to models with `near inflection-point potentials' in which generating higher mass black holes severely affects $n_{_S}$ and $r$. With a suitable choice of the base potential - such as the string theory based (KKLT) inflation or the $α$-attractor models - the amplification of primordial scalar power spectrum can be as large as $10^7$ which leads to a significant contribution of primordial black holes (PBHs) to the dark matter density today, $f_{\rm PBH} = Ω_{0,\rm PBH}/Ω_{0,\rm DM} \sim O(1)$. Interestingly, our results remain valid if the bump is replaced by a dip. In this case the base inflaton potential $V_b(ϕ)$ contains a negative local correction term such as $V_b(ϕ)\left[1-\varepsilon(ϕ)\right]$ at $ϕ=ϕ_0$ which leads to an enhanced probability of PBH formation. We conclude that primordial black holes in the mass range $10^{-17} M_{\odot} \leq M_{\rm PBH} \leq 100\, M_{\odot}$ can easily form in single field inflation in the presence of small bump-like and dip-like features in the inflaton potential.

Debris Rings From Extrasolar Irregular Satellites
Creators: name: Hayakawa, Kevin
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Irregular satellites are the minor bodies found orbiting all four Solar System giant planets with large semimajor axes, eccentricities, and inclinations. Previous studies have determined that the Solar System's irregular satellites are extremely collisionally evolved populations today, having lost ~99% of their initial mass over the course of hundreds of Myr. In this paper, we show that circumstellar disks can result from the dust generated by these collisions. Radiation pressure, quantified by the parameter $\beta$, is the driving force behind the liberation of dust grains from the planetary Hill sphere. Our simulated disks reproduce many of the same features seen in observed debris disks, such as thin ring morphology, a large blowout size, and azimuthal symmetry. By comparing the dust grain collisional timescale with the residence timescale as a function of size, we identify a critical intersection of (\(\beta \approx 0.1, t \approx 10\ years\)) that tells us the minimum size at which dust grains can exit the Hill sphere and how long it will take. Since a relation exists between \(\beta\), dust grain size, and observing wavelength, this also provides a future road map for observers. Due to how short the intersection timescale is, we do not expect to observe any long-lived circumplanetary ``irregular satellite disks,'' since large dust grains will grind down to smaller dust grains, and small dust grains will quickly escape the Hill sphere. We compare our simulated disks' radial profiles to those of Fomalhaut and HR 4796A. We find that all three systems satisfy the definition of a narrow ring put forth by Hughes et al. (2018), \(\dfrac{\Delta R}{R} < 0.5\).
