description: The results of heat capacity C_p(T, H) and electrical resistivity ρ(T,H) measurements down to 0.35 K as well as muon spin relaxation and rotation (\muSR) measurements on a noncentrosymmetric superconductor LaIrSi3 are presented. Powder neutron diffraction confirmed the reported noncentrosymmetric body-centered tetragonal BaNiSn3-type structure (space group I4\,mm) of LaIrSi3. The bulk superconductivity is observed below T_c = 0.72(1) K. The intrinsic ΔC_e/γ_n T_c = 1.09(3) is significantly smaller than the BCS value of 1.43, and this reduction is accounted by the α-model of BCS superconductivity. The analysis of the superconducting state C_e(T) data by the single-band α-model indicates a moderately anisotropic order parameter with the s-wave gap Δ(0)/k_B T_c = 1.54(2) which is lower than the BCS value of 1.764. Our estimates of various normal and superconducting state parameters indicate a weakly coupled electron-phonon driven type-I s-wave superconductivity in LaIrSi3. The \muSR results also confirm the conventional type-I superconductivity in LaIrSi3 with a preserved time reversal symmetry and hence a singlet pairing superconducting ground state.

description: Docetaxel-related neutropenia was associated with polymorphisms in the drug transporters ABCC2 and SLCO1B3 in Japanese cancer patients. We hypothesized that this association is because of reduced docetaxel clearance, associated with polymorphisms in those genes. We studied 64 US cancer patients who received a single cycle of 75 mg/m2 of docetaxel monotherapy. We found that the ABCC2 polymorphism at rs-12762549 trended to show a relationship with reduced docetaxel clearance (P = 0.048), but not with neutropenia. There was no significant association of the SLCO1B3 polymorphisms with docetaxel clearance or neutropenia. We conclude that the relationship between docetaxel-associated neutropenia and polymorphisms in drug transporters identified in Japanese patients was not confirmed in this cohort of US cancer patients.

description: We discuss the feasibility of a soft-x-ray distributed feedback laser (DFL) pumped by an x-ray free electron laser (X-FEL). The DFL under consideration is a Mg/SiC bi-layered Bragg reflector pumped by a single X-FEL bunch at 57.4 eV, stimulating the Mg L2,3 emission at 49 eV corresponding to the 3s-3d -> 2p1/2,3/2 transition. Based on a model developed by Yariv and Yeh and an extended coupled-wave theory, we show that it would be possible to obtain a threshold gain compatible with the pumping provided by available X-FEL facilities.

description: Adverse drug reactions are common, serious, difficult to predict, and may be influenced by genetics, prompting the increasing popularity of pharmacogenomic studies. Many pharmacogenomic studies are conducted in non-experimental settings, yet little is known about the influence of confounding by contraindication. We therefore compared the two designs (the overall population (OPD) and the treated-only (TOD) design) by simulating a pharmacogenomic study of the electrocardiographic QT interval (QT).

Carbamazepine, HLA-B*1502 and risk of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis: US FDA recommendations

description: Recently, the USA FDA has made a labeling change to the drug information contained in carbamazepine. Owing to recent data implicating the HLA allele B*1502 as a marker for carbamazepine-induced Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis in Han Chinese, the FDA recommends genotyping all Asians for the allele. This allele is seen in high frequency in many Asian populations other than Han Chinese, but there are few data on whether the allele is a marker for this severe outcome in anyone other than Han Chinese. In fact, the association has not been found in Caucasian patients. We review the data that prompted this recommendation, list data for other ethnic groups, both Asian and non-Asian, and briefly discuss the implication of this recommendation for clinical practice.

description: Magnetic ordering beyond the standard dipolar order has attracted significant attention in recent years, but it remains an open question how to effectively manipulate such nontrivial order parameters using external perturbations. In this context, we present a theory for Cartesian magnetic multipole moments and their currents created by electric currents based on a general gauge-invariant formula for arbitrary-order spin magnetic multipole moments of Bloch wave packets. As a concrete example, we point out that the low-energy quasiparticles in phosphorene subject to a perpendicular electric field have a valley structure that hosts magnetic octupole moments. The quasiparticle magnetic octupole moments can be exhibited by an in-plane electric current and lead to accumulation of staggered spin densities at the corners of a rectangular-shaped sample. A current carrying the octupole moments can further be induced through nonlinear response. Our work paves the way to systematically searching for and utilizing quasiparticles with higher-order magnetic multipole moments in crystal materials.

Open quantum dynamics for plant motions

description: Stochastic Schrödinger equations that govern the dynamics of open quantum systems are given by the equations for signal processing. In particular, the Brownian motion that drives the wave function of the system does not represent noise, but provides purely the arrival of new information. Thus the wave function is guided by the optimal signal detection about the conditions of the environments under noisy observations. This behaviour is similar to biological systems that detect environmental cues, process this information, and adapt to them optimally by minimising uncertainties about the conditions of their environments. It is postulated that information-processing capability is a fundamental law of nature, and hence that models describing open quantum systems can equally be applied to biological systems to model their dynamics. For illustration, simple stochastic models are considered to capture heliotropic and gravitropic motions of plants. The advantage of such dynamical models is that it allows for the quantification of information processed by the plants. By considering the consequence of information erasure, it is argued that biological systems can process environmental signals relatively close to the Landauer limit of computation, and that loss of information must lie at the heart of ageing in biological systems.

description: Developers often perform repetitive code editing activities for various reasons (e.g., code refactoring) during software development. Pre-trained code editing models have achieved the state-of-the-art (SOTA) results. Pre-trained models are first pre-trained with pre-training tasks and fine-tuned with the code editing task. Existing pre-training tasks mainly are code infilling tasks (e.g., masked language modeling), which are derived from the natural language processing field and are not designed for automatic code editing. This paper proposes a novel pre-training task specialized in code editing and presents an effective pre-trained code editing model named CodeEditor. Our pre-training task further improves the performance and generalization ability of code editing models. Specifically, we collect lots of real-world code snippets as the ground truth and use a powerful generator to rewrite them into mutated versions. Then, we pre-train our CodeEditor to edit mutated versions into the corresponding ground truth, to learn edit patterns. We conduct experiments on four code editing datasets and evaluate the pre-trained CodeEditor in three settings. (1) In the fine-tuning setting, we train the pre-trained CodeEditor with four datasets and evaluate it on the test data. CodeEditor outperforms the SOTA baselines by 15%, 25.5%, and 9.4% and 26.6% on four datasets. (2) In the few-shot setting, we train the pre-trained CodeEditor with limited data and evaluate it on the test data. CodeEditor substantially performs better than all baselines. (3) In the zero-shot setting, CodeEditor correctly edits 1,113 programs while the SOTA baselines can not work.

description: We apply signal processing analysis to the information spreading in scale-free network. To reproduce typical behaviors obtained from the analysis of information spreading in the world wide web we use a modified SIS model where synergy effects and influential nodes are taken into account. This model depends on a single free parameter that characterize the memory-time of the spreading process. We show that by means of fractal analysis it is possible -from aggregated easily accessible data- to gain information on the memory time of the underlying mechanism driving the information spreading process.

description: The accurate and personalized estimation of task difficulty provides many opportunities for optimizing user experience. However, user diversity makes such difficulty estimation hard, in that empirical measurements from some user sample do not necessarily generalize to others. In this paper, we contribute a new approach for personalized difficulty estimation of game levels, borrowing methods from content recommendation. Using factorization machines (FM) on a large dataset from a commercial puzzle game, we are able to predict difficulty as the number of attempts a player requires to pass future game levels, based on observed attempt counts from earlier levels and levels played by others. In addition to performance and scalability, FMs offer the benefit that the learned latent variable model can be used to study the characteristics of both players and game levels that contribute to difficulty. We compare the approach to a simple non-personalized baseline and a personalized prediction using Random Forests. Our results suggest that FMs are a promising tool enabling game designers to both optimize player experience and learn more about their players and the game.

description: The purpose of Environmental Security Technology Certification Program(ESTCP) project RC-200720 was to (1) demonstrate that predictive models of archaeological site location are sufficiently accurate to serve as the foundation for programmatic approaches to compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and (2) develop protocols for validating/refining predictive models and integrating them into the compliance process. The project involved two demonstration sites: Fort Drum, New York, and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Additional work was conducted at Saylor Creek Range, Idaho, and the Utah Test and Training Range, Utah. The technology needed to predict archaeological site location was demonstrated via the development and refinement of surface, subsurface, “red flag,” and zonal management models. The result shows that considerable savings in time and money can be achieved by focusing inventory and evaluation efforts on areas likely to contain sites and on significant sites and by integrating models into NHPA Section 106 Programmatic Agreements.

description: Polymorphic alleles in the human genome have been identified as affecting numerous drug responses. Currently, genotyping of all patients before starting a drug regimen is impractical. Since many polymorphisms occur at varying rates in different racial groups, we investigated whether a patient's race could predict presence of drug-relevant genetic variants well enough to be used as a substitute for individual genotyping.

description: The recent BICEP2 detection of, what is claimed to be primordial $B$-modes, opens up the possibility of constraining not only the energy scale of inflation but also the detailed acceleration history that occurred during inflation. In turn this can be used to determine the shape of the inflaton potential $V(ϕ)$ for the first time - if a single, scalar inflaton is assumed to be driving the acceleration. We carry out a Monte Carlo exploration of inflationary trajectories given the current data. Using this method we obtain a posterior distribution of possible acceleration profiles $ε(N)$ as a function of $e$-fold $N$ and derived posterior distributions of the primordial power spectrum $P(k)$ and potential $V(ϕ)$. We find that the BICEP2 result, in combination with Planck measurements of total intensity Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, induces a significant feature in the scalar primordial spectrum at scales $k\sim 10^{-3}$ Mpc$^{-1}$. This is in agreement with a previous detection of a suppression in the scalar power.

description: Non-Gaussian states (NGSs) with higher-order correlation properties have wide-range applications in quantum information processing. However, the generation of such states with high quality still faces practical challenges. Here, we propose a protocol to faithfully generate two types of mechanical NGSs, i.e., Schrödinger cat states and Fock states, in open optomechanical systems, even when the cooperativity is smaller than one ($g^2/κγ<1$). In contrast to the usual scheme, a short squeezed field is pumped to rapidly entangle with a mechanical resonator via a beam-splitter-like optomechanical interaction, effectively reducing the mechanical decoherence. Furthermore, by performing an additional amplifier and a following multi photon subtraction on the entangled optical field, one can selectively obtain the high-fidelity mechanical cat and Fock states. This protocol is robust to various imperfections, allowing it to be implemented with state-of-the-art experimental systems with close to unit fidelity. Moreover, it can be extended to generate a four-component cat state and provide possibilities for future quantum applications of NGSs.

description: Purpose: Object detection is rapidly evolving through machine learning technology in automation systems. Well prepared data is necessary to train the algorithms. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to describe a re-evaluation of the so-called Logistics Objects in Context (LOCO) dataset, which is the first dataset for object detection in the field of intralogistics. Methodology: We use an experimental research approach with three steps to evaluate the LOCO dataset. Firstly, the images on GitHub were analyzed to understand the dataset better. Secondly, Google Drive Cloud was used for training purposes to revisit the algorithmic implementation and training. Lastly, the LOCO dataset was examined, if it is possible to achieve the same training results in comparison to the original publications. Findings: The mean average precision, a common benchmark in object detection, achieved in our study was 64.54%, and shows a significant increase from the initial study of the LOCO authors, achieving 41%. However, improvement potential is seen specifically within object types of forklifts and pallet truck. Originality: This paper presents the first critical replication study of the LOCO dataset for object detection in intralogistics. It shows that the training with better hyperparameters based on LOCO can even achieve a higher accuracy than presented in the original publication. However, there is also further room for improving the LOCO dataset.

description: It remains an open problem to find the optimal configuration of phase shifts under the discrete constraint for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) in polynomial time. The above problem is widely believed to be difficult because it is not linked to any known combinatorial problems that can be solved efficiently. The branch-and-bound algorithms and the approximation algorithms constitute the best results in this area. Nevertheless, this work shows that the global optimum can actually be reached in linear time on average in terms of the number of reflective elements (REs) of IRS. The main idea is to geometrically interpret the discrete beamforming problem as choosing the optimal point on the unit circle. Although the number of possible combinations of phase shifts grows exponentially with the number of REs, it turns out that there are only a linear number of circular arcs that possibly contain the optimal point. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can be viewed as a novel approach to a special case of the discrete quadratic program (QP).

description: We study radiative properties of hot accretion flows in a general relativistic model with an exact treatment of global Comptonization, developed in our recent works. We note a strong dependence of electron temperature on the strength of magnetic field and we clarify that the underlying mechanism involves the change of the flow structure, with more strongly magnetised flows approaching the slab geometry more closely. We find that the model with thermal synchrotron radiation being the main source of seed photons agrees with the spectral index vs Eddington ratio relation observed in black hole transients below 1 per cent of the Eddington luminosity, LEdd, and models with a weak direct heating of electrons (small delta) are more consistent with observations. Models with large delta predict slightly too soft spectra, furthermore, they strongly overpredict electron temperatures at ~0.01 LEdd. The low-luminosity spectra, at <0.001 LEdd, deviate from a power-law shape in the soft X-ray range and we note that the first-scattering bump often resembles a thermal like component, with the temperature of a few hundred eV, superimposed on a power-law spectrum. The model with thermal Comptonization of thermal synchrotron radiation does not agree with well studied AGNs observed below ~0.01 LEdd, for which there is a substantial evidence for the lack of an inner cold disc. This indicates that the model of hot flows powering AGNs should be revised, possibly by taking into account an additional (but internal to the flow) source of seed photons.

description: A recent study found that variation in camptothecin pharmacodynamic genes (TOP1, PARP1, TDP1 and XRCC1) correlated with efficacy and risk of neutropenia in irinotecan-treated cancer patients (median dose: 180 mg/m2), which suggests that these genes might predict outcomes to irinotecan-based therapies. The present study was conducted to evaluate previous gene associations using an independent sample of patients receiving irinotecan.

Using germline genotype in cancer pharmacogenetic studies

description: Pharmacogenetics provides great opportunity for improving both the chance of therapeutic benefit and the ability to avoid adverse drug events. To date, the majority of pharmacogenetic studies have been performed using germline DNA. DNA collection in most clinical trials provides a wealth of samples from which pharmacogenetic studies can be launched. However, there is concern that the data from germline DNA pharmacogenetics might be of limited value for diseases, such as cancer, where germline variants may not adequately represent the genetic data obtained from the somatic DNA. In this perspective, we evaluate the literature that compares pharmacogenetic variants between germline DNA and matched somatic DNA. The analysis of these studies indicates that there is almost complete concordance between germline and somatic DNA in variants of pharmacogenetic genes. Although somatic variants are clinically significant and independently provide genetic information that cannot be gained from the germline, the use of germline DNA for pharmacogenetic studies is achievable and valuable. This use of germline DNA offers great opportunities for the implementation of individualized therapy.

description: Quantum simulation of different exotic topological phases of quantum matter on a noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processor is attracting growing interest. Here, we develop a one-dimensional 43-qubit superconducting quantum processor, named as Chuang-tzu, to simulate and characterize emergent topological states. By engineering diagonal Aubry-Andr$\acute{\mathrm{e}}$-Harper (AAH) models, we experimentally demonstrate the Hofstadter butterfly energy spectrum. Using Floquet engineering, we verify the existence of the topological zero modes in the commensurate off-diagonal AAH models, which have never been experimentally realized before. Remarkably, the qubit number over 40 in our quantum processor is large enough to capture the substantial topological features of a quantum system from its complex band structure, including Dirac points, the energy gap's closing, the difference between even and odd number of sites, and the distinction between edge and bulk states. Our results establish a versatile hybrid quantum simulation approach to exploring quantum topological systems in the NISQ era.

description: Polymorphisms in the 5′ regulatory region of the thymidylate synthase gene (TYMS) have been shown to modulate thymidylate synthase expression and are associated with resistance to fluoropyrimidine-based therapies. These polymorphisms include a two repeat (2R) or three repeat (3R) of a 28-bp sequence and a G>C SNP in the second repeat of the 3R allele (TSER*3 G>C). Genotyping methods for the TYMS 5′-UTR polymorphisms have typically involved visualizing PCR and RFLP products on agarose gels. This article describes the use of a robust capillary electrophoresis assay for TYMS 5′-UTR genotyping.
Ginzburg-Landau theory of the bcc-liquid interface kinetic coefficient

description: We extend the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory of atomically rough bcc-liquid interfaces [Wu {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{73}, 094101 (2006)] outside of equilibrium. We use this extension to derive an analytical expression for the kinetic coefficient, which is the proportionality constant $μ(\hat n)$ between the interface velocity along a direction $\hat n$ normal to the interface and the interface undercooling. The kinetic coefficient is expressed as a spatial integral along the normal direction of a sum of gradient square terms corresponding to different nonlinear density wave profiles. Anisotropy arises naturally from the dependence of those profiles on the angles between the principal reciprocal lattice vectors $\vec K_i$ and $\hat n$. Values of the kinetic coefficient for the$(100)$, $(110)$ and $(111)$ interfaces are compared quantitatively to the prediction of linear Mikheev-Chernov (MC) theory [J. Cryst. Growth \textbf{112}, 591 (1991)] and previous molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of crystallization kinetics for a classical model of Fe. Additional MD simulations are carried out here to compute the relaxation time of density waves in the liquid in order to make this comparison free of fit parameter. The GL theory predicts a similar expression for $μ$ as the MC theory but yields a better agreement with MD simulations for both its magnitude and anisotropy due to a fully nonlinear description of density wave profiles across the solid-liquid interface. GL theory is also used to derive an inverse relation between $μ$ and the solid-liquid interfacial free-energy. The general methodology used here to derive an expression for $μ(\hat n)$ also applies to amplitude equations derived from the phase-field-crystal model, which only differ from GL theory by the choice of cubic and higher order nonlinearities in the free-energy density.

description: The Galactic Center of the Milky Way, thanks to its proximity, allows to perform astronomical observations that investigate physical phenomena at the edge of astrophysics and fundamental physics. As such, it offers a unique laboratory to probe gravity, where one can not only test the basic predictions of General Relativity, but is also able to falsify theories that, over time, have been proposed to modify or extend General Relativity; to test different paradigms of dark matter; and to place constraints on putative models that have been formulated as alternatives to the standard black hole paradigm in General Relativity. In this review we provide a general overview of the history of observations of the Galactic Center, emphasizing the importance, in particular on the smallest-observable scales, that they had in opening a new avenue to improve our understanding of the underlying theory of gravity in the surrounding of a supermassive compact object.

Irinotecan pharmacogenomics
Creators: name: Marsh, Sharon

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Irinotecan is a camptothecin analog used as an anticancer drug. Severe, potentially life-threatening toxicities can occur from irinotecan treatment. Although multiple genes may play a role in irinotecan activity, the majority of evidence to date suggests that variation in expression of UGT1A1 caused by a common promoter polymorphism (UGT1A1*28) is strongly associated with toxicity; however, this link is dose dependent. Variations in other pharmacokinetic genes, particularly the transporter ABCC2, also contribute to irinotecan toxicity. In addition, recent studies have shown that pharmacodynamic genes such as TDP1 and XRCC1 can also play a role in both toxicity and response.

description: Kommunalka: A Thin-Walled Memory Palace in Sound is an anthology concept album of soundscapes, sound art, and documentary vignettes which explores the Soviet communal apartment as a sonic memory palace. As an audio-only narrative, it presents collective and personal memories in a format which engages the listener’s active imagination. The kommunalka, a type of Soviet residential building with famously thin walls, serves as both content and form, as it provides a setting for disparate stories, ideas, and motives.
