description: Objetivo: O objectivo deste trabalho é descrever um caso atípico de neuropatia óptica associada ao uso de amiodarona com rápida evolução e com edema da papila unilateral que desenvolveu, posteriormente, edema da papila contralateral. Caso clínico: Doente de 80 anos, medicado com amiodarona há 2 meses, apresentava diminuição da acuidade visual (AV) bilateral progressiva, mais marcada no olho esquerdo (OE). Apresentava AV do olho direito (OD) de 4/10 e no OE de conta dedos, defeito pupilar aferente relativo e edema da papila do OE. Subsequentemente, verificou-se edema da papila no OD. Associou-se o uso de amiodarona à neuropatia óptica, tendo esta sido suspensa. Actualmente, apresenta quadro estabilizado de perda da AV e dos campos visuais. Discussão: A neuropatia óptica associada a amiodarona é uma situação rara que pode ter implicações graves. Importa excluir a utilização deste fármaco em situações de edema da papila bilateral, mas também em situações unilaterais atípicas.

description: Nonradiative neutrino decay, which is not satisfactorily constrained, possibly and significantly changes the detected neutrino signal from galactic supernova explosions. We focus on the appearance of a sharp peak due to a neutronization burst in the time profile; this phenomenon would occur if the original ν_e, produced at the neutrinosphere and becoming ν_{2,3} at the stellar surface, decays into a lighter antineutrino state such as \barν_{1,2} coupled to \barν_e. This is due to the fact that the signature of the neutronization burst is common to all numerical simulations. Therefore, the appearance of a neutronization peak in the \barν_e signal, if it were detected, would clearly indicate the nonstandard properties of neutrinos. Using a newly developed formulation that includes flavor conversions inside the supernova envelope and neutrino decay during propagation in a vacuum, we calculate the expected neutrino signal at the detectors; the lifetimes of three modes τ_{12}, τ_{13}, and τ_{23} are taken to be free parameters. We further introduce simple quantities, which represent a peak sharpness of time profile and spectral hardness, and investigate the parameter dependence of these quantities. As the result, it is found that they are quite dependent on the relevant parameters, but it would be quite difficult to distinguish models using the signal obtained by the Super-Kamiokande detector; the future megaton-class detectors would have sufficient sensitivity. We also compare the neutrino decay model with another mechanism, i.e., resonant spin-flavor conversion, which also may give the appearance of a neutronization peak, and conclude that these two independent mechanisms give a different signal and one can be distinguished from the other.

description: Abstract Background: Ocriplasmin is a serine protease approved for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular traction (VMT). Post-marketing experience has revealed safety concerns. Materials and Methods: Retrospective case report. Clinical and surgical data were analyzed. Results: We report a case of intraindividual response to bilateral ocriplasmin injection in a 70 year-old female patient with symptomatic vitreomacular traction syndrome. A single surgeon injected the same patient twice, two years appart, following the same protocol. In the first eye we observed the commonest side effects and no VMT release while in the second eye we documented the rarer and severe ocriplasmin’s adverse events nevertheless with successful VMT release. Conclusions: Ocriplasmin’s severe adverse events are unpredictable and underreported. The noticeable difference in adverse events is not accounted by patient, surgeon or tecnique’s variability. This case raises the question of whether the degree of enzymatic cleavage necessary for drug efficacy and VMT release may coexist with more retinal toxicity.

description: Images of static scenes submerged beneath a wavy water surface exhibit severe non-rigid distortions. The physics of water flow suggests that water surfaces possess spatio-temporal smoothness and temporal periodicity. Hence they possess a sparse representation in the 3D discrete Fourier (DFT) basis. Motivated by this, we pose the task of restoration of such video sequences as a compressed sensing (CS) problem. We begin by tracking a few salient feature points across the frames of a video sequence of the submerged scene. Using these point trajectories, we show that the motion fields at all other (non-tracked) points can be effectively estimated using a typical CS solver. This by itself is a novel contribution in the field of non-rigid motion estimation. We show that this method outperforms state of the art algorithms for underwater image restoration. We further consider a simple optical flow algorithm based on local polynomial expansion of the image frames (PEOF). Surprisingly, we demonstrate that PEOF is more efficient and often outperforms all the state of the art methods in terms of numerical measures. Finally, we demonstrate that a two-stage approach consisting of the CS step followed by PEOF much more accurately preserves the image structure and improves the (visual as well as numerical) video quality as compared to just the PEOF stage.

description: We study degenerations of the Belavin R-matrices via the infinite dimensional operators defined by Shibukawa-Ueno. We define a two-parameter family of generalizations of the Shibukawa-Ueno R-operators. These operators have finite dimensional representations which include Belavin's R-matrices in the elliptic case, a two-parameter family of twisted affinized Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices in the trigonometric case, and a two-parameter family of twisted (affinized) generalized Jordanian R-matrices in the rational case. We find finite dimensional representations which are compatible with the elliptic to trigonometric and rational degeneration. We further show that certain members of the elliptic family of operators have no finite dimensional representations. These R-operators unify and generalize earlier constructions of Felder and Pasquier, Ding and Hodges, and the authors, and illuminate the extent to which the Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices (and their rational forms) are degenerations of Belavin's R-matrix.

description: Knowledge networks can be defined as social networks that enable the transfer of the knowledge, which is defined as the intellectual product formed as a result of the work of human intelligence, to be transferred to any other means of communication. A knowledge network represents a large number of people, resources and relationships between them, to create the highest value, primarily to accumulate and use knowledge through the process of generating and transmitting knowledge. General structure of knowledge networks; it consists of three basic stages: gathering, organizing and disseminating knowledge. The first step, knowledge collection, institutions and organizations to enter the network structure of the knowledge that is present. The organizing phase is the structuring of irregular and unstructured knowledge in the network structure according to certain standards and recording them regularly in the structure. Knowledge dissemination can be expressed as the transfer of organized knowledge in accordance with user knowledge and needs. The purpose of the training knowledge network is to ensure communication between the student, the teacher and the guide, and to store the knowledge that is formed in a course, to enable the system to be recorded in a systematic way, to disseminate it according to the needs of the users and to update the knowledge. A dynamic website and content management system have been developed for the training knowledge network. The training knowledge network has a flexible structure to support web technologies. By making production, management and publication of knowledge within the framework of specific needs, it provides knowledge network for different problems, producing different and tailored solutions. With the example of education knowledge network, a knowledge network that can be developed according to the innovative knowledge network structure is designed.

description: We propose increasing the fractional quantum Hall gap of a rapidly rotating Bose gas by increasing the interatomic interactions via a Feshbach resonance. The generation of molecules by the resonance causes pair correlations to grow throughout the system effecting the ground state. By an extension of the usual Chern-Simons theory, built of composite atoms and molecules, we are able to account for these resonance effects. We find that the resulting ground state evolves from a Laughlin wavefunction to a unique paired wavefunction as one approaches the resonance.

First, the bimaximal neutrino mixing together with U_{e3}=0 is guaranteed to appear owing to S_2 and, then, the bilarge neutrino mixing together with |U_{e3}|<<1 arises as a result of tiny violation of S_2.

description: In a local Fermi liquid (LFL), we show that there is a line of weak first order phase transitions between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases due to purely quantum fluctuations. We predict that an instability towards superconductivity is only possible in the ferromagnetic state. At T=0 we find a point on the phase diagram where all three phases meet and we call this a quantum triple point (QTP). A simple application of the Gibbs phase rule shows that only these three phases can meet at the QTP. This provides a natural explanation of the absence of superconductivity at this point coming from the paramagnetic side of the phase diagram, as observed in the recently discovered ferromagnetic superconductor, $UGe_{2}$.

Short gamma-ray bursts as a possible probe of binary neutron star mergers

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the properties of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), based on the assumption that they are all connected to the binary neutron star mergers, whose formation mechanism contains a large amount of uncertainty. In particular, the merger time distribution is focused on, which is essential for short GRB rate estimate; we simply parameterize it as P_m(t)\propto t^αwith lower cutoff time-scale τ. The short GRB rate, calculated using such a parameterization with a specific model of cosmic star formation rate, is found to be quite insensitive to the value of τ, but considerably sensitive to α. With such formation rate models, the peak flux distribution observed by BATSE is fitted. In the fitting process, the local short GRB rate ρ_0 is treated as one of free parameters, giving the best fit when ρ_0 = 0.1--2 yr^{-1} Gpc^{-3}, depending on the other free parameters as well as the formation rate model represented by (τ,α). We also discuss several implications for the intrinsic properties of possible sources of short GRBs, such as jet structure, intrinsic luminosity function, and intrinsic duration distribution.

description: We introduce the Rydberg Composite, a new class of Rydberg matter where a single Rydberg atom is interfaced with a dense environment of neutral ground state atoms. The properties of the Composite depend on both the Rydberg excitation, which provides the gross energetic and spatial scales, and on the distribution of ground state atoms within the volume of the Rydberg wave function, which sculpt the electronic states. The latter range from the "trilobites", for small numbers of scatterers, to delocalized and chaotic eigenstates for disordered scatterer arrays, culminating in the dense scatterer limit in symmetry-dominated wave functions which promise good control in future experiments. We characterize these scenarios with different theoretical methods, enabling us to obtain scaling behavior for the regular spectrum and measures of chaos and delocalization in the disordered regime. Thus, we obtain a systematic description of the Composite states. The 2D monolayer Composite possesses the richest spectrum with an intricate band structure in the limit of homogeneous scatterers.

description: High-latency anonymous communication systems prevent passive eavesdroppers from inferring communicating partners with certainty. However, disclosure attacks allow an adversary to recover users' behavioral profiles when communications are persistent. Understanding how the system parameters affect the privacy of the users against such attacks is crucial. Earlier work in the area analyzes the performance of disclosure attacks in controlled scenarios, where a certain model about the users' behavior is assumed. In this paper, we analyze the profiling accuracy of one of the most efficient disclosure attack, the least squares disclosure attack, in realistic scenarios. We generate real traffic observations from datasets of different nature and find that the models considered in previous work do not fit this realistic behavior. We relax previous hypotheses on the behavior of the users and extend previous performance analyses, validating our results with real data and providing new insights into the parameters that affect the protection of the users in the real world.

description: The World Economic Forum (WEF) publishes annual reports on global risks which have the high impact on the world's economy. Currently, many researchers analyze the modeling and evolution of risks. However, few studies focus on validation of the global risk networks published by the WEF. In this paper, we first create a risk knowledge graph from the annotated risk events crawled from the Wikipedia. Then, we compare the relational dependencies of risks in the WEF and Wikipedia networks, and find that they share over 50% of their edges. Moreover, the edges unique to each network signify the different perspectives of the experts and the public on global risks. To reduce the cost of manual annotation of events triggering risk activation, we build an auto-detection tool which filters out over 80% media reported events unrelated to the global risks. In the process of filtering, our tool also continuously learns keywords relevant to global risks from the event sentences. Using locations of events extracted from the risk knowledge graph, we find characteristics of geographical distributions of the categories of global risks.

To take account of dissipation and fluctuations consistently, the magnetization is coupled to a bosonic heat bath. The correlation functions show strong dependence on the nature of the coupling between the bath and the system. Depending on what coupling we choose, we show how the recent results $(\text{J. Appl. Phys. 90, 5768 (2001); Phys. Rev. B 65, 172417 (2002)}) $ obtained by macroscopic methods can be related to the microscopic treatment adopted here.

description: Introdução: O buraco macular idiopático (BMi) é uma patologia da interface vitreorretiniana cujo tratamento é cirúrgico através de vitrectomia via pars plana (VPP). As técnicas mais conhecidas incluem a pelagem da membrana limitante interna (pMLI), o flap invertido (FI) e o transplante de membrana limitante interna (txMLI). Ainda não existem evidências suficientes sobre o efeito destas técnicas na recuperação das camadas externas da retina. Objetivos: Comparar os resultados das diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas e avaliar a taxa de recuperação das camadas externas da retina no pós-operatório. Métodos: Estudo coorte retrospetivo em doentes com BMi submetidos a VPP entre janeiro de 2017 e dezembro de 2018, no Hospital de Braga. Os parâmetros avaliados incluíram a melhor acuidade visual corrigida (MAVC), tamanho do BM (TBM), presença de membrana epirretiniana (MER), tempo de espera cirúrgico (TeC) e o sucesso cirúrgico anatómico (SC). Foram analisadas as taxas de recuperação das bandas externas da retina: camada nuclear externa, membrana limitante externa, zona elipsóide e de interdigitação. Resultados: Foram analisados 59 olhos, 42 (79,2%) do sexo feminino e idade média de 67,3±10,9 anos. O maior SC verificou-se no FI (93,5%). O ganho de MAVC foi superior na pMLI (p<0.001). A presença de MER, o TBM e o TeC não foram determinantes na escolha da técnica cirúrgica e no SC. Observaram-se ganhos progressivos das camadas externas da retina, sem diferenças significativas entre os períodos de seguimento. Conclusão: A VPP é anatómica e funcionalmente benéfica no BMi. O FI obteve maior taxa de SC, no entanto a pMLI permitiu maior ganho funcional.

description: In the time- and frequency-limited model order reduction, a reduced-order approximation of the original high-order model is sought to ensure superior accuracy in some desired time and frequency intervals. We first consider the time-limited H2-optimal model order reduction problem for bilinear control systems and derive first-order optimality conditions that a local optimum reduced-order model should satisfy. We then propose a heuristic algorithm that generates a reduced-order model, which tends to achieve these optimality conditions. The frequency-limited and the time-limited H2-pseudo-optimal model reduction problems are also considered wherein we restrict our focus on constructing a reduced-order model that satisfies a subset of the respective optimality conditions for the local optimum. Two new algorithms have been proposed that enforce two out of four optimality conditions on the reduced-order model upon convergence. The algorithms are tested on three numerical examples to validate the theoretical results presented in the paper. The numerical results confirm the efficacy of the proposed algorithms.

description: We consider the nonlinear ion-acoustic wave induced by the orbiting charged space debris in the plasma environment generated at Low Earth Orbital (LEO) region. The generated nonlinear ion-acoustic wave is shown to be governed by the forced Korteweg-de Vries equation with the forcing function dependent on the charged space debris function. For a specific relationship between the forcing debris function and the nonlinear ion-acoustic wave, the forced KdV equation turns to be a completely integrable system where the debris function obeys a definite non-holonomic constraint. A special exact accelerated soliton solution (velocity of the soliton changes over time whereas its amplitude remains constant) has been derived for the ion-acoustic wave for the first time. On the other hand, the amplitude of the solitonic debris function varies with time, and its shape changes during propagation. Approximate ion-acoustic solitary wave solutions with time-varying amplitude and velocity, have been derived for different weak localized charged debris functions. Possible applications of the obtained results in space plasma physics are stated along with future the direction of research.

Reconstruction of quantum theory on the basis of the formula of total probability
Creators: name: Khrennikov, Andrei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The notion of context (complex of physical conditions) is basic in this paper. We show that the main structures of quantum theory (interference of probabilities, Born's rule, complex probabilistic amplitudes, Hilbert state space, representation of observables by operators) are present in a latent form in the classical Kolmogorov probability model. However, this model should be considered as a calculus of contextual probabilities. In our approach it is forbidden to consider abstract context independent probabilities: ``first context and then probability.'' We start with the conventional formula of total probability for contextual (conditional) probabilities and then we rewrite it by eliminating combinations of incompatible contexts from consideration. In this way we obtain interference of probabilities without to appeal to the Hilbert space formalism or wave mechanics. However, we did not just reconstruct the probabilistic formalism of conventional quantum mechanics. Our contextual probabilistic model is essentially more general and, besides the projection to the complex Hilbert space, it has other projections. The most important new prediction is the possibility (at least theoretical) of appearance of hyperbolic interference.

description: Nontrivial low-energy excitations of crystalline solids have insightfully strengthened understanding of elementary particles in quantum field theory. Usually, topological quasiparticles are mainly focused on fermions in topological semimetals. In this work, we alternatively show by first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis that ideal type-II Weyl phonons are present in zinc-blende cadmium telluride (CdTe), a well-known II-VI semiconductor. Importantly, these type-II Weyl phonons originate from the inversion between the longitudinal acoustic and transverse optical branches. Symmetry guarantees the type-II Weyl points to lie along the high-symmetry lines at the boundaries of Brillouin zone even with breaking the inversion symmetry, exhibiting the robustness of protected phonon features. The nontrivial phonon surface states and surface arcs projected on the semi-finite (001) and (111) surfaces are investigated. The phonon surface arcs connecting the Weyl points with opposite chirality, guaranteed to be very long, are clearly visible. This work not only offers a promising candidate for studying type-II Weyl phonons, but also provides a route to realize symmetry-protected nontrivial phonons and related applications in realistic materials.

description: Higher weather volatility may be reflected in higher incidences of weather shocks. Weather shocks could potentially affect the supply of agricultural commodities and their prices. In this study, the effects of weather shocks on agricultural commodity prices in Central Asia are investigated at the provincial scale using monthly data for the period of 2000-2010. The study uses an innovative estimation method, where the idiosyncratic components of the variables are analyzed using Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) panel regression in the presence of cross-sectional dependence and serial autocorrelation. The analysis indicates that weather volatility and, especially, the fluctuations in the availability of irrigation water have statistically significant effects on wheat and potato prices in Central Asia. Negative shocks, involving lower than usual temperatures and precipitation amounts, could create favorable conditions for higher wheat prices in the region. Lower availability of irrigation water may encourage irrigation-dependent countries of the region to aggressively raise wheat stocks to face expected supply shortfalls, thus leading to higher regional wheat prices. This effect could be further aggravated by negative impacts of lower irrigation water availability on wheat yields. In order to counteract such developments, it is necessary to devise effective grain storage policies. Regional free trade arrangements in agricultural commodities will also be important to minimize price volatility resulting from weather shocks. For protecting agricultural producers, weather insurance schemes could be introduced. It would be also necessary to make investments into crop breeding and agronomic research for developing new crop cultivars resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses, and on promoting water-efficient crop production technologies.

description: Economists studying the operation of individual firms have relied in large part on the general theory of production economics as presented in standard references (3) (6).1 Usually some changes are required to increase the usefulness of the theory in formulating realistic and testable hypotheses. Generally it is assumed that the goal of the firm is one of maximizing profits. The objective of this paper is to develop a general model especially helpful for analyzing the operation of firms that produce livestock products. This is based on certain modifications and elaborations of the conventional theory of production. For the purpose of illustrating the use of the general model, a California feeder-steer operation is used. The general model should be helpful in evaluating many other types of livestock operations. The major modification is the separation of the livestock operation into production stages. "The technical definition of a stage is a matter of both convenience and logic, depending on the importance of the elemental operations and the way in which they fit in with the flow of products and materials. . . . Thus, a stage consists of all productive services—durable or nondurable—that cooperate in performing a single operation or a group of minor but closely related operations" (4, p. 545).

description: In many important economic problems, a variable is maximized subject to constraints. In a subset of such problems, a linear combination of decision variables is maximized subject to linear constraints. The latter subset is amenable to linear programming analysis. Efforts to expand the usefulness of linear programming methods usually involve incorporating nonlinear elements either in the criterion function or in the constraints. Such efforts frequently result in discovering ways to incorporate the nonlinear element in some acceptable linear form, thus retaining the usual linear programming procedure but broadening the researcher's capacity to apply the method to important economic problems (9).1 Discrete programming is a case in point. Discrete programming problems and ordinary linear programming problems are about the same, except that a side condition is imposed that some of the decision variables must take on discrete values, usually nonnegative integers. The resultant, noncontinuous nature of the criterion function or of the constraints places discrete programming in the class of nonlinear programming (10). Sufficient conditions for a solution to discrete programming problems have been known for several years (15). Recently, systematic procedures for solving discrete programming problems have been put forward (14, 16). This paper discusses one of them. Decks and tapes for solving such problems on high-speed computers are not yet abundant, but it would be easy to supply them should the demand arise.

Pyrochlore Photons: The U(1) Spin Liquid in a S=1/2 Three-Dimensional Frustrated Magnet

description: We study the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice in the limit of strong easy-axis exchange anisotropy. We find, using only standard techniques of degenerate perturbation theory, that the model has a U(1) gauge symmetry generated by certain local rotations about the z-axis in spin space. Upon addition of an extra local interaction in this and a related model with spins on a three-dimensional network of corner-sharing octahedra, we can write down the exact ground state wavefunction with no further approximations. Using the properties of the soluble point we show that these models enter the U(1) spin liquid phase, a novel fractionalized spin liquid with an emergent U(1) gauge structure. This phase supports gapped S^z = 1/2 spinons carrying the U(1) ``electric'' gauge charge, a gapped topological point defect or ``magnetic'' monopole, and a gapless ``photon,'' which in spin language is a gapless, linearly dispersing S^z = 0 collective mode. There are power-law spin correlations with a nontrivial angular dependence, as well as novel U(1) topological order. This state is stable to ALL zero-temperature perturbations and exists over a finite extent of the phase diagram. Using a convenient lattice version of electric-magnetic duality, we develop the effective description of the U(1) spin liquid and the adjacent soluble point in terms of Gaussian quantum electrodynamics and calculate a few of the universal properties. The resulting picture is confirmed by our numerical analysis of the soluble point wavefunction. Finally, we briefly discuss the prospects for understanding this physics in a wider range of models and for making contact with experiments.

description: One-photon and Raman type interactions between two-level atoms and narrow-band light are considered. We give some exactly solvable models of these processes when only one-photon Fock states are involved in the evolution. Possible application of these models for generation and transformation of entangled states of the W-class, some of which demonstrate hierarchy structure, are discussed. Finally, we consider preparation of entangled chains of atomic ensembles.

description: Beam and trap methods find incompatible results for the lifetime of the neutron: the former delivers a value which is about $8.7\pm2.1$ s longer than the latter. Very recently (1906.10024) it has been proposed that the inverse Zeno effect (IZE) could be responsible for the shorter lifetime in trap experiments. Here, we compare two different models of measurement, one obtained by bang-bang measurements and by a continuous measurement: the IZE turns out to be in both cases very similar, showing that the results do not depend on the details of the measurement process.
