description: We study the polygons governing the convex hull of a point set created by the steps of $n$ independent two-dimensional random walkers. Each such walk consists of $T$ discrete time steps, where $x$ and $y$ increments are i.i.d. Gaussian. We analyze area $A$ and perimeter $L$ of the convex hulls. We obtain probability densities for these two quantities over a large range of the support by using a large-deviation approach allowing us to study densities below $10^{-900}$. We find that the densities exhibit a universal scaling behavior as a function of $A/T$ and $L/\sqrt{T}$, respectively. As in the case of one walker ($n=1$), the densities follow Gaussian distributions for $L$ and $\sqrt{A}$, respectively. We also obtained the rate functions for the area and perimeter, rescaled with the scaling behavior of their maximum possible values, and found limiting functions for $T \rightarrow \infty$, revealing that the densities follow the large-deviation principle. These rate functions can be described by a power law for $n \rightarrow \infty$ as found in the $n=1$ case. We also investigated the behavior of the averages as a function of the number of walks $n$ and found good agreement with the predicted behavior.

description: Despite the tremendous progresses in wavefront control through or inside complex scattering media, several limitations prevent reaching practical feasibility for nonlinear imaging in biological tissues. While the optimization of nonlinear signals might suffer from low signal to noise conditions and from possible artifacts at large penetration depths, it has nevertheless been largely used in the multiple scattering regime since it provides a guide star mechanism as well as an intrinsic compensation for spatiotemporal distortions. Here, we demonstrate the benefit of Transmission Matrix (TM) based approaches under broadband illumination conditions, to perform nonlinear imaging. Using ultrashort pulse illumination with spectral bandwidth comparable but still lower than the spectral width of the scattering medium, we show strong nonlinear enhancements of several orders of magnitude, through thicknesses of a few transport mean free paths, which corresponds to millimeters in biological tissues. Linear TM refocusing is moreover compatible with fast scanning nonlinear imaging and potentially with acoustic based methods, which paves the way for nonlinear microscopy deep inside scattering media.
The z Distribution of Hydrogen Clouds and Masers with Kinematic Distances

description: Data on HII regions, molecular clouds, and methanol masers have been used to estimate the Sun's distance from the symmetry plane zo and the vertical disk scale height h. Kinematic distance estimates are available for all objects in these samples. The Local-arm (Orion-arm) objects are shown to affect noticeably the pattern of the z distribution. The deviations from the distribution symmetry are particularly pronounced for the sample of masers with measured trigonometric parallaxes, where the fraction of Local-arm masers is large. The situation with the sample of HII regions in the solar neighborhood is similar. We have concluded that it is better to exclude the Local arm from consideration. Based on the model of a self-gravitating isothermal disk, we have obtained the following estimates from objects located in the inner region of the Galaxy (R<= Ro): zo= -5.7+/-0.5 pc and h2=24.1+/-0.9 pc from the sample of 639 methanol masers, zo=-7.6+/-0.4 pc and h2=28.6+/-0.5 pc from 878 HII regions, zo=-10.1+/-0.5 pc and h2=28.2+/-0.6 pc from 538 giant molecular clouds.

description: Context. Tangential YORP is a thermophysical effect that can alter the rotation rate of asteroids and is distinct from the "normal" YORP effect, but to date has only been studied for asteroids with zero obliquity. Aims. The tangential YORP force produced by spherical boulders on the surface of an asteroid with an arbitrary obliquity is studied. Methods. A finite element method is used to simulate heat conductivity inside a boulder, to find the recoil force experienced by it. Then an ellipsoidal asteroid uniformly covered by such boulders is considered and the torque is numerically integrated over its surface. Results. Tangential YORP is found to operate on non-zero obliquities and decreases by a factor of 2 for increasing obliquity.

description: Encephalitis is the inflammation of brain parenchyma, which can be divided into infectious encephalitis (IE) and autoimmune encephalitis (AE) according to the different etiologies. Since the treatments for the two types of encephalitis are different, it is crucial to differentiate them at early stage to give specific treatment for good outcomes. This study aims to discover some specific and sensitive biomarkers to distinguish IE from AE. We compared the host gene expression profiles and microbial diversities of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 41 IE patients and 18 AE patients through meta-transcriptomic sequencing.

Gatekeeping Pharmaceuticals: The Consumer Welfare Consequences of “Pay-for-Delay” Settlements
Creators: name: Blankenship, Caitlin
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Following the passage of the 1984 Hatch-Waxman Act, a pharmaceutical manufacturer must file an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) when seeking FDA approval for a generic drug. Within the ANDA, the filer must demonstrate that the generic drug is equivalent to its branded counterpart and certify that the generic will not infringe on any current patents. Noninfringement can be attested to through several patent certifications, including the Paragraph-IV certification. A Paragraph-IV certification asserts that the patent on the branded drug is invalid and is usually contested by the brand name manufacturer in the form of patent litigation. Through assessing the patent’s validity, patent litigation determines whether the branded drug’s patent exclusivity continues or generic entry occurs. However, many of these lawsuits are settled before a decision is made. These settlements (“reverse settlements”) involve a payment from the patent-holding brand manufacturer to the would-be generic entrant on the condition that the generic manufacturer forestalls entry. In recent years, reverse settlements have faced regulatory scrutiny, with critics arguing that the resulting delays in generic entry and higher drug prices lower consumer welfare. By examining a class of drugs within the high-cholesterol pharmaceutical market, I estimate the welfare effects of the settlement of Paragraph-IV patent litigation. Using data from 1996-2020, I estimate a demand model and assess the welfare effects of reverse settlements. I find that Para-IV facilitated expedited generic entry increased consumer welfare by $392 million. From these results, I conclude that reverse settlements in Paragraph-IV pharmaceutical litigation reduce consumer welfare.

description: The emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major global public health concern that threatens the ability to control the disease. Whole-genome sequencing as a tool to rapidly diagnose resistant infections can transform patient treatment and clinical practice. While resistance mechanisms are well understood for some drugs, there are likely many mechanisms yet to be uncovered, particularly for new and repurposed drugs. We sequenced 10,228 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates worldwide and determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on a grid of 2-fold concentration dilutions for 13 antimicrobials using quantitative microtiter plate assays. We performed oligopeptide- and oligonucleotide-based genome-wide association studies using linear mixed models to discover resistance-conferring mechanisms not currently catalogued. Use of MIC over binary resistance phenotypes increased sample heritability for the new and repurposed drugs by 26% to 37%, increasing our ability to detect novel associations. For all drugs, we discovered uncatalogued variants associated with MIC, including in the Rv1218c promoter binding site of the transcriptional repressor Rv1219c (isoniazid), upstream of the vapBC20 operon that cleaves 23S rRNA (linezolid) and in the region encoding an α-helix lining the active site of Cyp142 (clofazimine, all p < 10−7.7). We observed that artefactual signals of cross-resistance could be unravelled based on the relative effect size on MIC. Our study demonstrates the ability of very large-scale studies to substantially improve our knowledge of genetic variants associated with antimicrobial resistance in M. tuberculosis.

In 2018, we are authorized by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) as a Core Institution for Constructing Data Infrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Now, users can access more than 1,500 datasets and metadata. Our preexisting metadata is not based on the DDI format. We are making them into DDI 2.5 format. We plan to make metadata in the DDI format (DDI 2.5) and to integrate metadata in the DDI format into our existing metadata browsing and data download system and improve the process of data archiving work. But we have some problems with DDI implementation projects. For example, we can't make DDI format metadata as routine work because our systems are in the development stage.

description: Deterministically integrating semiconductor quantum emitters with plasmonic nano-devices paves the way towards chip-scale integrable, true nanoscale quantum photonics technologies. For this purpose, stable and bright semiconductor emitters are needed, which moreover allow for CMOS-compatibility and optical activity in the telecommunication band. Here, we demonstrate strongly enhanced light-matter coupling of single near-surface ($<10\,nm$) InAs quantum dots monolithically integrated into electromagnetic hot-spots of sub-wavelength sized metal nanoantennas. The antenna strongly enhances the emission intensity of single quantum dots by up to $\sim16\times$, an effect accompanied by an up to $3.4\times$ Purcell-enhanced spontaneous emission rate. Moreover, the emission is strongly polarised along the antenna axis with degrees of linear polarisation up to $\sim85\,\%$. The results unambiguously demonstrate the efficient coupling of individual quantum dots to state-of-the-art nanoantennas. Our work provides new perspectives for the realisation of quantum plasmonic sensors, step-changing photovoltaic devices, bright and ultrafast quantum light sources and efficent nano-lasers.

Convergence of Imprecise Continuous-Time Markov Chains

description: We study the limit behaviour of a generally non-linear ordinary differential equation whose solution is a superadditive generalisation of a stochastic matrix, and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for this solution to be ergodic, in the sense that it converges to an operator that, essentially, maps functions to constants. In the linear case, the solution of our differential equation is equal to the matrix exponential of an intensity matrix and can then be interpreted as the transition operator of a homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain. Similarly, in the generalised non-linear case that we consider, the solution can be interpreted as the lower transition operator of a specific set of non-homogeneous continuous-time Markov chains, called an imprecise continuous-time Markov chain. In this context, our main result provides a necessary and sufficient condition for such an imprecise continuous-time Markov chain to converge to a unique limiting distribution.

description: In this paper, we numerically study the magnetic transport properties of disordered Weyl semimetals (WSM) in the ultra-quantum limit. We find a positive magnetic conductivity for the long-range disorder, although the system tends to have negative magnetic conductivity for the weak short-range disorder. Remarkably, for long-range disorder, such a positive magnetic conductivity cannot be described by the semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory even in the weak disorder limit, and the back-scattering assisted by the high Landau levels is always important. Our results have significant implications for the positive magnetic conductivity recently discovered in the WSM systems, and point out two physical mechanisms: (i) the long-range correlated disorder suppresses the back-scattering among the zeroth Landau level modes; (ii) with increasing the magnetic field, the back-scattering assisted by the high Landau levels will also be suppressed.

description: Introduction: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) usually occurs in the second and third trimesters. The disease's etiology and diagnostic criteria are currently unknown. Based on a sequence window to obtain all theoretical fragment ions (SWATH) proteomic approach, this study sought to identify potential proteins in placental tissue that may be involved in the pathogenesis of ICP and adverse fetal pregnancy outcomes. Methods: The postpartum placental tissue of pregnant women with ICP were chosen as the case group (ICP group) (subdivided into mild ICP group (MICP group) and severe ICP group (SICP group)), and healthy pregnant women were chosen as the control group (CTR). The SWATH analysis combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to screen the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in ICP and CTR groups, and bioinformatics analysis was used to find out the biological process of these differential proteins. Results: Proteomic studies showed there were 126 DEPs from pregnant women with ICP and healthy pregnant women. Most of the identified proteins were functionally related to humoral immune response, cell response to lipopolysaccharide, antioxidant activity and heme metabolism. A subsequent examination of placentas from patients with mild and severe ICP revealed 48 proteins that were differentially expressed. Through death domain receptors and fibrinogen complexes, these DEPs primarily regulate extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways, blood coagulation, and fibrin clot formation. Discussion: This preliminary study helps us to understand the changes in the placental proteome of ICP patients, and provides new insights into the pathophysiology of ICP.

description: The melting condition for two-dimensional Wigner solid ( P.M. Platzman, H.Fukuyama, 1974) is shown to contain an error of a factor of $π$. The analysis of experimental data for apparent 2D metal-to-insulator transition shows that the Wigner solidification (B.Tanatar, D.M.Ceperley, 1989) has been never achieved. Within routine Fermi gas model both the metallic and insulating behavior of different 2D system for actual range of carrier densities and temperatures is explained.

description: We consider cosmological models driven by several canonical or noncanonical scalar fields. We show how the superpotential method enables one to construct twinlike models for a particular canonical model from some noncanonical ones. We conclude that it is possible to construct twinlike models for multi-field cosmological models, even when the spatial curvature is nonzero. This work extends the discussions of [D. Bazeia and J. D. Dantas, Phys. Rev. D, 85 (2012) 067303] to cases with multi scalar fields and with non-vanished spatial curvature, by using a different superpotential method.

description: Placing a nanomechanical object in the evanescent near-field of a high-$Q$ optical microcavity gives access to strong gradient forces and quantum-noise-limited displacement readout, offering an attractive platform for precision sensing technology and basic quantum optics research. Robustly implementing this platform is challenging, however, as it requires separating optically smooth surfaces by $\lesssimλ/10$. Here we describe a fully-integrated evanescent opto-nanomechanical transducer based on a high-stress Si$_3$N$_4$ nanobeam monolithically suspended above a SiO$_2$ microdisk cavity. Employing a novel vertical integration technique based on planarized sacrificial layers, we achieve beam-disk gaps as little as 25 nm while maintaining mechanical $Q\times f>10^{12}$ Hz and intrinsic optical $Q\sim10^7$. The combined low loss, small gap, and parallel-plane geometry result in exceptionally efficient transduction, characterizing by radio-frequency flexural modes with vacuum optomechanical coupling rates of 100 kHz, single-photon cooperativities in excess of unity, and zero-point frequency (displacement) noise amplitudes of 10 kHz (fm)/$\surd$Hz. In conjunction with the high power handling capacity of SiO$_2$ and low extraneous substrate noise, the transducer operates particularly well as a sensor. Deploying it in a 4 K cryostat, we recently demonstrated a displacement imprecision 40 dB below that at the standard quantum limit (SQL) with an imprecision-back-action product $<5\cdot\hbar$. In this report we provide a comprehensive description of device design, fabrication, and characterization, with an emphasis on extending Heisenberg-limited readout to room temperature. Towards this end, we describe a room temperature experiment in which a displacement imprecision 30 dB below that at the SQL and an imprecision-back-action product $<75\cdot\hbar$ is achieved.

description: Entanglement of charge orderings and other electronic orders such as superconductivity is in the core of challenging physics issues of complex materials including high temperature superconductivity. Here, we report on the observation of a unique nanometer scale honeycomb charge ordering of the cleaved IrTe2 surface, which hosts a superconducting state. IrTe2 was recently established to exhibit an intriguing cascade of stripe charge orders. The stripe phases coexist with a hexagonal phase, which is formed locally and falls into a superconducting state below 3 K. The atomic and electronic structures of the honeycomb and hexagon pattern of this phase are consistent with the charge order nature but the superconductivity does not survive on neighboring stripe charge order domains. The present work provides an intriguing physics issue and a new direction of functionalization for two dimensional materials.

description: The main motivation to study models in the presence of a minimal length is to obtain a quantum field theory free of the divergences. In this way, in this paper, we have constructed a new framework for quantum electrodynamics embedded in a minimal length scale background. New operators are introduced and the Green function method was used for the solution of the field equations, i.e., the Maxwell, Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. We have analyzed specifically the scalar field and its one loop propagator. The mass of the scalar field regularized by the minimal length was obtained. The QED Lagrangian containing a minimal length was also constructed and the divergences were analyzed. The electron and photon propagators, and the electron self-energy at one loop as a function of the minimal length was also obtained.

description: The discovery of topological semimetal phase in three-dimensional (3D) systems is a new breakthrough in topological material research. Dirac nodal-line semimetal is one of the three topological semimetal phases discovered so far; it is characterized by linear band crossing along a line/loop, contrasted with the linear band crossing at discrete momentum points in 3D Dirac and Weyl semimetals. The study of nodal-line semimetal is still at initial stage; only three material systems have been verified to host nodal line fermions until now, including PbTaSe2, PtSn 4and ZrSiS. In this letter, we report evidence of nodal line fermions in ZrSiSe and ZrSiTe probed in de Haas - van Alphen (dHvA) quantum oscillations. Although ZrSiSe and ZrSiTe share similar layered structure with ZrSiS, our measurements of angular dependences of dHvA oscillations indicate the Fermi surface (FS) enclosing Dirac nodal line is of 2D character in ZiSiTe, in contrast with 3D-like FS in ZrSiSe and ZrSiS. Another important property revealed in our experiment is that the nodal line fermion density in ZrSi(S/Se) (~ 10^20-10^21 cm^-3) is much higher than the Dirac/Weyl fermion density of any known topological materials. In addition, we have demonstrated ZrSiSe and ZrSiTe single crystals can be thinned down to 2D atomic thin layers through microexfoliation, which offers a promising platform to verify the predicted 2D topological insulator in the monolayer materials with ZrSiS-type structure
