description: We investigate the long-term variability of the K$α$ line of iron in the spectra of two Ultra Compact X-ray Sources (UCXBs) with C/O-rich donors. We revisit archival observations by five different X-ray telescopes, over a ~twenty year period. Adopting physically motivated models for the spectral continuum, we probe the long-term evolution of the source emission in a self-consistent manner enabling physical interpretation of potential variability in the primary X-ray emission continuum and/or any emission lines from reflection off the accretion disk. We find that the spectral shape and flux of the source emission (for both objects) has remained almost constant throughout all the observations, displaying only minor variability in some spectral parameters and the source flux (largest variation is a ~25% drop in the flux of Swift J1756.9-2508). We note a striking variability of the Fe K$α$ line which fluctuates from a notable equivalent width of ~66-100 eV in 4U 1543-624 and ~170 eV in Swift J1756.9-2508, to non-detections with upper limits of 2-8 eV. We argue that the disappearance of the iron line is due to the screening of the Fe K$α$ line by the overabundant oxygen in the C/O-rich UCXBs. This effect is cancelled when oxygen becomes fully ionized in the inner disk region, resulting in the variability of the Fe K$α$ line in an otherwise unaltered spectral shape. This finding supports earlier predictions on the consequences of H-poor, C/O-rich accretion disk on reflection induced fluorescent lines in the spectra of UCXBs.

description: Tumor heterogeneity reflects clonal evolution and is an important driving force for tumor progression, metastases and drug resistance, which becomes a big challenge for the effectiveness of personalized cancer therapy. Recent studies highlighted multiregional sequencing approach, which sequences DNA samples from geographically separated regions of tumors from a single patient, for exploring the nature of intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) and cancer evolution. Some large-scale sequencing studies have systematically revealed that ITH as well as cancer evolution of non-small-cell lung cancer and renal cancer. However, large-scale sequencing studies of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) have been limited. In addition, most of the ITH studies of CRC were performed at relatively shallow depths, which was not possible to assess heterogeneity due to the inability to detect somatic mutations with low frequencies. In this prospective study, we performed multi-region whole-exome sequencing with high depth on early-stage colorectal tumors from 68 CRC patients (18 right-sided colon cancers, 20 left-sided colon cancers, and 30 rectal cancers patients). These early-stage colorectal tumors had been surgically resected before starting any systemic therapy. We sequenced and analyzed 206 tumor regions including multi-regions of primary tumor together with lymph node metastasis and extranodal tumor deposits (ENTDs). Our study pictures the evolution pattern of CRC with ITH.

description: BACKGROUND: The total testing process is made up of the pre-analytical, analytical and post analytical phases. Most of the non-conformities to laid down laboratory procedures are known to be at the pre-analytical phase, amounting to about 70% of errors in the total testing phase. Most laboratories, in instituting total quality assurance, concentrate mainly on the analytical phase and the post analytical phase. The ISO, in a bid to correcting this oversight introduced a modifiable quality indicator system which monitors laid down processes and procedures of the laboratories. AIM- This study was therefore designed to assess the pre-analytical phase of the testing process in a Chemical Pathology laboratory of a teaching hospital in southern Nigeria. METHODS- The ISO quality indicators were modified to suit the standard operations of the Preanalytical phase of the said laboratory. With the help of a questionnaire, non-conformities to these laid- down procedures were assessed. Defects per million (DPM) of each indicator were calculated and a sigma value assigned as the performance level. A sigma value below 3 was seen as unacceptable performance and that between 3 and 4 was seen as acceptable performance. Lastly a sigma value above 4 indicated good performance. RESULT- A total of 17 quality indicators were used to assess the pre-analytical phase and 12 (70.6%) had unacceptable performance levels while 2 (11.8%) had acceptable performance levels. Only 3(17.6%) of these indicators had good performance levels. CONCLUSION- A holistic look at the performance of the quality indicators of the pre-analytical phase in this study showed that about 71% of the pre-analytical quality indicators assessed had unacceptable performance levels; 12% had acceptable performance level and only 18% had good performance level. This grossly indicates very poor quality pre-analytical sample acquisition and processing procedures. Steps therefore need to be taken to rectify these errors.

Two major flaws were found in the original derivation. We derive a discrete black-body radiation spectrum, deriving a different formulation for $F(a)$ than the one presented in the original theory. We present a numerical result of the new solution which is compared against the original prediction.

description: Prenatal diagnosis is routinely performed by karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Recently, emerging studies have suggested that low-pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) approaches are able to detect clinically significant copy number variants with increased diagnostic yield compared with CMA. We aim to demonstrate the performance and feasibility of applying Low-Pass whole genome sequencing for prenatal diagnosis in a prospective back-to-back comparison in cases tested on both the CMA and low-pass WGS platforms.

description: The epidemiology of respiratory viruses and vaccine effectiveness (VE) in the community are not well described. This study assessed VE against a positive test of influenza (VEf) and SARS-CoV-2 (VECov). Data from networks of community-based laboratories in France were collected during standard of care in the 2023-2024 epidemic season (n = 511,083 multiplex RT-PCR tests). Patients' demographics and symptoms were reported in addition to viral sequencing results. The test-negative design was used to estimate VEf and VECov by time since vaccination and calendar week. Adjusted VEf by age, sex, presence of symptoms, PCR technique, and week of testing, was 47.6% (95% CI: 44.3-50.7%). VEf was lower in patients ≥65 years (42.0%; 95% CI: 36.6-46.9%) than in 18-64 years (52.9%; 95% CI: 48.6-56.8%). The adjusted VEf against type A influenza, which represented 98% of typed viruses, was 51% (45%-56.6%) for patients vaccinated 15 days to 3 months before testing, and 35.5% (24.2%-45.3%) for those vaccinated 3-6 months before testing. For VECov, the adjusted estimate in patients vaccinated 15 days to 3 months prior to testing was 40.6% (7.2%-58.6%) at week 39, 24.8% (4.0%-38.8%) at week 45, and dropped systematically through the epidemic season as the JN.1 variant became dominant. This study showed moderate VEf and VECov against infection in the community and highlighted the impact of time since vaccination and age for both estimates, and the new variant emergence on VECov. These findings should be considered in future vaccination campaigns.

description: The first complete estimation of the compressible energy cascade rate $|\varepsilon_\text{C}|$ at magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and sub-ion scales is obtained in the Earth's magnetosheath using Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) spacecraft data and an exact law derived recently for {\it compressible} Hall MHD turbulence. A multi-spacecraft technique is used to compute the velocity and magnetic gradients, and then all the correlation functions involved in the exact relation. It is shown that when the density fluctuations are relatively small, $|\varepsilon_\text{C}|$ identifies well with its incompressible analogue $|\varepsilon_\text{I}|$ at MHD scales but becomes much larger than $|\varepsilon_\text{I}|$ at sub-ion scales. For larger density fluctuations, $|\varepsilon_\text{C}|$ is larger than $|\varepsilon_\text{I}|$ at every scale with a value significantly higher than for smaller density fluctuations. Our study reveals also that for both small and large density fluctuations, the non-flux terms remain always negligible with respect to the flux terms and that the major contribution to $|\varepsilon_\text{C}|$ at sub-ion scales comes from the compressible Hall flux.

description: Recently, ghost imaging has been attracting attentions because its mechanism would lead to many applications inaccessible to conventional imaging methods. However, it is challenging for high contrast and high resolution imaging, due to its low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the demand of high sampling rate in detection. To circumvent these challenges, we here propose a ghost imaging scheme that exploits Haar wavelets as illuminating patterns with a bi-frequency light projecting system and frequency-selecting single-pixel detectors. This method provides a theoretically 100% image contrast and high detection SNR, which reduces the requirement of high dynamic range of detectors, enabling high resolution ghost imaging. Moreover, it can highly reduce the sampling rate (far below Nyquist limit) for a sparse object by adaptively abandoning unnecessary patterns during the measurement. These characteristics are experimentally verified with a resolution of 512 times 512 and a sampling rate lower than 5%. A high-resolution (1000 times 1000 times 1000) 3D reconstruction of an object is also achieved from multi-angle images.

description: It has been suggested that the recent acceleration of the expansion of the Universe is due a modified gravitational action consisting of the Einstein-Hilbert term plus a term proportional to the reciprocal of the Ricci scalar. Although the original version of this theory has been shown to be in conflict with solar system observations, a modified Palatini version of the theory, in which the metric and connection are treated as independent variables in the variational principle, has been suggested as a viable model of the cosmic acceleration. We show that this theory is equivalent to a type of scalar-tensor theory in which the scalar field kinetic energy term in absent from the action, and in which the scalar field is therefore not an independent dynamical degree of freedom. Integrating out the scalar field gives rise to additional interactions among the matter fields of the standard model of particle physics at a energy scale of order 10^(-3) eV (the geometric mean of the Hubble scale and the Planck scale), and so the theory is excluded by, for example, electron-electron scattering experiments.

description: Many agricultural policy discussions in Zambia revolve around the cost of producing maize. Despite the importance of having accurate estimates of production costs, smallholders’ cost of maize production in Zambia remain poorly understood. Various estimates are provided by interested parties, but these are rarely based on representative farm surveys that take into account the variations in agro-ecological conditions, input intensities, and rainfall, which can profoundly affect maize production costs.

description: We present JHK photometry and spectroscopy for a sample of newly identified L and T dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and known dwarfs from the SDSS and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Spectral classification has been carried out using four infrared indices; we identify 9 new L8-9.5 dwarfs and 14 new T dwarfs from SDSS, including the latest SDSS dwarf yet found, the T7 SDSS J1758+4633. We classify 2MASS J0415-0935 as T9, the latest and coolest dwarf found to date. We combine these results with previously published data to produce a sample of 59 L dwarfs and 42 T dwarfs. We compare the near-IR colors and absolute magnitudes of dwarfs near the L-T transition with predictions made by models of the distribution and evolution of photospheric condensates. There is scatter in the spectral indices for L dwarfs, suggesting that these indices are probing different levels of the atmosphere. The near-IR colors of the L dwarfs also scatter, likely due to variations in the altitudes, spatial distributions and thicknesses of the condensate clouds. We identify a group of late L dwarfs that are blue for their spectral type and that have enhanced FeH, H2O and KI absorption, possibly due to an unusually small amount of condensates. The scatter seen in the H-K color for late T dwarfs can be reproduced by models with a range in surface gravity. The variation is probably due to the effect on the K-band flux of pressure-induced H2 opacity. The correlation of H-K color with gravity is supported by the strengths of the J-band KI doublet. Gravity is closely related to mass for field T dwarfs and the gravities implied by the H-K colors indicate that the T dwarfs in our sample have masses in the range 15-75 M_Jupiter, except for SDSS J1110+0116 which possibly has a mass of 10-15 M_Jupiter.

description: There is mounting evidence that long duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and X-ray flashes (XRFs) are produced by highly relativistic and narrowly collimated jets ejected in core collapse supernova (SN) explosions akin to SN 1998bw. We review the history of the GRB-SN association idea and its observational verification. We summarize the present evidence for a GRB/XRF-SN association. We comment on the possibility that most, perhaps all, SN explosions produce GRBs, including SNe of Type Ia which may produce short GRBs/XRFs. We list the major open questions that follow from a GRB/XRF-SN association. Possible uses of the GRB-SN association in cosmology are pointed out.

description: We present a microscopic Fermi-liquid view on the low-energy transport through an Anderson impurity with $N$ discrete levels, at arbitrary electron filling $N_d$. It is applied to nonequilibrium current fluctuations, for which the two-quasiparticle collision integral and the three-body correlations that determine the quasiparticle energy shift play important roles. Using the numerical renormalization group up to $N=6$, we find that for strong interactions the three-body fluctuations are determined by a single parameter other than the Kondo energy scale in a wide filling range $1 \lesssim N_d \lesssim N-1$. It significantly affects the current noise for $N>2$ and the behavior of noise in magnetic fields.

We begin by summarizing what is known about vorton solutions and, in particular, their analytic stability with respect to a range of radial and nonradial perturbations. We then discuss numerical results of vorton simulations in a full 3D field theory, that is, Witten's original bosonic superconducting string model with a modified potential term. For specific parameter values, these simulations demonstrate the long-term stability of sufficiently large vorton solutions created with an elliptical initial ansatz.

description: Over a field of characteristic 0, the algebra of invariants of several $n\times n$ matrices under simultameous conjugation by $GL_n$ is generated by traces of products of generic matrices. Teranishi, 1986, found a minimal system of eleven generators of the algebra of invariants of two $3\times 3$ matrices. Nakamoto, 2002, obtained an explicit, but very complicated, defining relation for a similar system of generators over $\mathbb Z$. In this paper we have found another natural set of eleven generators of this algebra of invariants over a field of characteristic 0 and have given the defining relation with respect to this set. Our defining relation is much simpler than that of Nakamoto. The proof is based on easy computer calculations with standard functions of Maple but the explicit form of the relation has been found with methods of representation theory of general linear groups.

Implications of Lorentz covariance for the guidance equation in two-slit quantum interference

Year: 2003

description: It is known that Lorentz covariance fixes uniquely the current and the associated guidance law in the trajectory interpretation of quantum mechanics for spin particles. In the non-relativistic domain this implies a guidance law for the electron which differs by an additional spin-dependent term from that originally proposed by de Broglie and Bohm. In this paper we explore some of the implications of the modified guidance law. We bring out a property of mutual dependence in the particle coordinates that arises in product states, and show that the quantum potential has scalar and vector components which implies the particle is subject to a Lorentz-like force. The conditions for the classical limit and the limit of negligible spin are given, and the empirical sufficiency of the model is demonstrated. We then present a series of calculations of the trajectories based on two-dimensional Gaussian wave packets which illustrate how the additional spin-dependent term plays a significant role in structuring both the individual trajectories and the ensemble. The single packet corresponds to quantum inertial motion. The distinct features encountered when the wavefunction is a product or a superposition are explored, and the trajectories that model the two-slit experiment are given. The latter paths exhibit several new characteristics compared with the original de Broglie-Bohm ones, such as crossing of the axis of symmetry.

description: Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), accounting for 10–40% of cases in children. In China, the high prevalence of macrolide-resistant MP (MRMP) and recurrent MP epidemics place a significant burden on the healthcare system. Leveraging data from over 1.6 million cases, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of MP across China. Seasonal patterns analysis revealed three distinct transmission zones in China. Transmission Zone 1 exhibited two annual epidemic peaks, while Zones 2 and 3 showed a single annual peak of distinct timings. Notably, winter travel to popular tourist destinations appears to influence MP infection patterns in China. Age- and sex- specific analysis indicated male newborns aged [0-1) years face a 1.67 times higher risk of MP infection compared to females. Conversely, females aged [23-38) years have a higher infection risk, likely due to their caregiving roles. The proportion of MRMP surged from 80.00% to 93.02% between July 2023 and May 2024, with a median growth rate of 10.21%. This rapid increase contrasts sharply with the modest 5.3% rise observed from 2011 to 2019, and we attribute this escalation in part to the growing prevalence of the T1-3R clade strain in China. These findings have important implications for the identification of high-risk population, place, and time for more targeted efforts of prevention and treatment. Furthermore, the rapidly increased proportion of MRMP in the 2023-24 season raises a concerning signal regarding antibiotic use.

description: Originated from the superposition principle in quantum mechanics, coherence has been extensively studied as a kind important resource in quantum information processing. We investigate the distinguishability of coherence-breaking channels with the help of quantum entanglement. By explicitly computing the minimal error probability of channel discrimination, it is shown that entanglement can enhance the capacity of coherence-breaking channel distinguishability with same types for some cases while cannot enhanced for some other cases. For coherence-breaking channels with different types, the channel distinguishability cannot be enhanced via entanglement.

description: The Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 increased the influence of target prices on acreage allocation decisions Differences between target and market prices were highly correlated with rates of participation in recent grain set-aside programs But, target prices also encourage set-aside participants to increase acreage of the set-aside crop The net effect of a set-aside on acreage of a specific crop may, thus, be positive or negative. Deficiencies in the target price formula magnify the potential for target prices to disrupt the allocative function of market prices.

Resonant inclination excitation of migrating giant planets

Year: 2003

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The observed orbits of extrasolar planets suggest that many giant planets migrate a considerable distance towards their parent star as a result of interactions with the protoplanetary disk, and that some of these planets become trapped in eccentricity-exciting mean motion resonances with one another during this migration. Using three-dimensional numerical simulations, we find that as long as the timescale for damping of the planets' eccentricities by the disk is close to or longer than the disk-induced migration timescale, and the outer planet is more than half the mass of the inner, resonant inclination excitation will also occur. Neither the addition of a (simple, fixed) disk potential, nor the introduction of a massive inner planetary system, inhibit entry into the inclination resonance. Therefore, such a mechanism may not be uncommon in the early evolution of a planetary system, and a significant fraction of exoplanetary systems may turn out to be non-coplanar.

Environmental Effects on the Charge Transfer Properties of Graphene Quantum Dot Based Interfaces

description: Graphene quantum dots (GQD) are interesting materials due to the confined sizes which allow to exploit their optoelectronic properties, especially when they interface with organic molecules through physisorption. In particular, when interfaces are formed, charge transfer (CT) processes can occur, in which electrons can flow either from the GQD to the absorbed molecule, or vice versa. These processes are accessible by modelling and computational analysis. Yet, the presence of different environments can strongly affect the outcome of such simulations which, in turn, can lead to wrong results if not taken into account. In the present multiscale study, we assess the sensibility of the computational approach and compute the CT, calculated at interfaces composed by GQD and amino-acene derivatives. The hole transfer is strongly affected by dynamic disorder and the nature of the environment, and imposes stringent descriptions of the modelled systems to ensure enhanced accuracy of the transfer of charges.

Tkachenko modes of vortex lattices in rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We calculate the in-plane modes of the vortex lattice in a rotating Bose condensate from the Thomas-Fermi to the mean-field quantum Hall regimes. The Tkachenko mode frequency goes from linear in the wavevector, $k$, for lattice rotational velocities, $Ω$, much smaller than the lowest sound wave frequency in a finite system, to quadratic in $k$ in the opposite limit. The system also supports an inertial mode of frequency $\ge 2Ω$. The calculated frequencies are in good agreement with recent observations of Tkachenko modes at JILA, and provide evidence for the decrease in the shear modulus of the vortex lattice at rapid rotation.

description: We elaborate on results obtained in \cite{christen2018} for controlling the numerical posterior error for Bayesian UQ problems, now considering forward maps arising from the solution of a semilinear evolution partial differential equation. Results in \cite{christen2018} demand an estimate for the absolute global error (AGE) of the numeric forward map. Our contribution is a numerical method for computing the AGE for semilinear evolution PDEs and shows the potential applicability of \cite{christen2018} in this important wide range family of PDEs. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method, obtaining numerical posterior distributions for unknown parameters that are nearly identical to the corresponding theoretical posterior, by keeping their Bayes factor close to 1.

description: Feedback control of quantum mechanical systems must take into account the probabilistic nature of quantum measurement. We formulate quantum feedback control as a problem of stochastic nonlinear control by considering separately a quantum filtering problem and a state feedback control problem for the filter. We explore the use of stochastic Lyapunov techniques for the design of feedback controllers for quantum spin systems and demonstrate the possibility of stabilizing one outcome of a quantum measurement with unit probability.
