description: The $O(α_{s})$ corrections to the cross section for $b \bar b \to W^{\pm}H^{\mp}$ at the LHC are calculated in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in the $\bar{MS}$ and OS (on-mass-shell) renormalization schemes. The results in two schemes are in good agreement. In the $\bar{MS}$ scheme, the QCD corrections are negative and within $ -14% \sim -20%$ for charged Higgs mass up to 1 TeV and $\tanβ>15$. For $\tanβ=2$, the magnitude of the QCD corrections can be greater than 30%.

description: This paper addresses the subject of the development of typical products of Umbria, a small region in central Italy. While not boasting the production of typical products of great national or international renown, it can count on a wide range of local products of extreme interest. This paper begins with a survey of the products that are typical, or that have qualities which can render them typical, and which were identified in a study carried out in the Umbrian territory. This will be followed by a socio-economic analysis, conducted on a sampling of enterprises which produce typical products, aimed at verifying potential for growth in this sector, the level of training acquired in this sector, as well as the degree of training required. After that, we examine the Regional policy enacted regarding those products, as well as the initiatives of greatest interest undertaken on a sub-territorial level with the Leader II Projects. In the final part of this study, a number of thoughts on the relationship between territory, enterprise and human resources will be formulated, while a number of synthesising considerations will conclude the present study.

description: This thesis explores the preferences of European citizens regarding electric cars, given the current global environmental crisis. More specifically, the primary objective of this study is to support stakeholders in the electric vehicle market, such as car manufacturers, dealers, and government agencies, in adapting their strategies to meet the potential needs of drivers. Within the framework of the study, both quantitative and qualitative data analyses were conducted, including the examination of consumer profiles, public perceptions, and the prospects of electric vehicles in European markets. The analysis is based on market research carried out in five European countries (Germany, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Hungary) during the period from April 28, 2020, to May 8, 2020. Machine learning methods will be used to derive the results.

description: Aims: The objective of this feasibility study was to determine the extent to which data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) may serve as a useful source for collecting health care resource use (HCRU) for the purposes of estimating costs of managing adverse events (AEs), specifically, grade 3–4 nausea and thrombocytopenia, which may be experienced during chemotherapy treatment. Materials and Methods: The feasibility study was conducted in four steps: (1) HCRU data were extracted from patient narratives in four phase 3 RCTs in non–small cell lung cancer; (2) missing HCRU data were imputed; (3) unit costs were applied to the resulting HCRU data set and costs of managing AEs were estimated; and (4) the overall utility of using RCT data as a source for estimating costs of AEs was evaluated. Results: 33 nausea and 68 thrombocytopenia AEs met eligibility criteria and were evaluated in this study. Medication usage was recorded as a treatment in 76% of nausea AEs, although only 14% of the instances of medication usage included the minimum data elements required for costing. Platelet transfusions were provided in 24% of thrombocytopenia AEs; however, in only one instance were the minimum data elements recorded. Of nausea and thrombocytopenia AEs, 18% and 72%, respectively, required no missing data assumptions or imputation. Limitations: Only two AEs were considered, and they may not be representative of all AEs in terms of suitability for use in estimating HCRU and costs of managing AEs. Not all grade 3–4 AEs met the criteria for requiring a patient narrative. HCRU data in the narratives were incomplete. Conclusions: The usefulness of RCTs for estimating the costs of AEs may be improved by using a standardized form to collect HCRU data for key AEs, including an appropriate level of detail required to estimate costs of managing the AEs.

description: One major challenge for the legacy measurements at the LHC is that the likelihood function is not tractable when the collected data is high-dimensional and the detector response has to be modeled. We review how different analysis strategies solve this issue, including the traditional histogram approach used in most particle physics analyses, the Matrix Element Method, Optimal Observables, and modern techniques based on neural density estimation. We then discuss powerful new inference methods that use a combination of matrix element information and machine learning to accurately estimate the likelihood function. The MadMiner package automates all necessary data-processing steps. In first studies we find that these new techniques have the potential to substantially improve the sensitivity of the LHC legacy measurements.

A Thermal Bremsstrahlung Model For the Quiescent X-ray Emission from Sagittarius A*
Creators: name: Quataert, Eliot
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I consider the thermal bremsstrahlung emission from hot accretion flows (Bondi/ADAFs), taking into account the finite size of the observing telescope's beam (R_beam) relative to the Bondi accretion radius (R_A). For R_beam >> R_A soft X-ray emission from the hot interstellar medium surrounding the black hole dominates the observed emission while for R_beam << R_A hard X-ray emission from the accretion flow dominates. I apply these models to Chandra observations of the Galactic Center, for which R_beam ~ R_A. I argue that bremsstrahlung emission accounts for most of the ``quiescent'' (non-flaring) flux observed by Chandra from Sgr A*; this emission is spatially extended on scales ~ R_A ~ 1'' and has a relatively soft spectrum, as is observed. If accretion onto the central black hole proceeds via a Bondi or ADAF flow, a hard X-ray power law should be present in deeper observations with a flux ~ 1/3 of the soft X-ray flux; nondetection of this hard X-ray component would argue against ADAF/Bondi models. I briefly discuss the application of these results to other low-luminosity AGN.

description: Mass spectrometry technologies are widely used in the fields of ionomics and metabolomics to simultaneously profile the intracellular concentrations of, e.g., amino acids or elements in genome-wide mutant libraries. These molecular or sub-molecular features are generally non-Gaussian and their covariance reveals patterns of correlations that reflect the system nature of the cell biochemistry and biology. Here, we introduce two similarity measures, the Mahalanobis cosine and the hybrid Mahalanobis cosine, that enforce information from the empirical covariance matrix of omics data from high-throughput screening and that can be used to quantify similarities between the profiled features of different mutants. We evaluate the performance of these similarity measures in the task of inferring and integrating genetic networks from short-profile ionomics/metabolomics data through an analysis of experimental data sets related to the ionome and the metabolome of the model organism S. cerevisiae. The study of the resulting ionome−metabolome Saccharomyces cerevisiae multilayer genetic network, which encodes multiple omic-specific levels of correlations between genes, shows that the proposed measures can provide an alternative description of relations between biological processes when compared to the commonly used Pearson’s correlation coefficient and have the potential to guide the construction of novel hypotheses on the function of uncharacterised genes.

description: We present ALMA rest-frame 230 GHz continuum and CO(2-1) line observations of the nearby Compton-thick Seyfert galaxy ESO428-G14, with angular resolution 0.7 arcsec (78 pc). We detect CO(2-1) emission from spiral arms and a circum-nuclear ring with 200 pc radius, and from a transverse gas lane with size of $\sim100$ pc, which crosses the nucleus and connects the two portions the circumnuclear ring. The molecular gas in the host galaxy is distributed in a rotating disk with intrinsic circular velocity $v_{rot}=135$ km/s, inclination $i=57$ deg, and dynamical mass $M_{dyn }=5\times 10^9~\rm M_{\odot}$ within a radius of $\sim 1$ kpc. In the inner 100 pc region CO is distributed in a equatorial bar, whose kinematics is highly perturbed and consistent with an inflow of gas towards the AGN. This inner CO bar overlaps with the most obscured, Compton-thick region seen in X-rays. We derive a column density of $\rm N(H_2) \approx 2\times10^{23}~ cm^{-2}$ in this region, suggesting that molecular gas may contribute significantly to the AGN obscuration. We detect a molecular outflow with a total outflow rate $\rm \dot M_{of}\approx 0.8~M_{\odot}/yr$, distributed along a bi-conical structure with size of $700$ pc on both sides of the AGN. The bi-conical outflow is also detected in the $\rm H_2$ emission line at 2.12 $μ$m, which traces a warmer nuclear outflow located within 170 pc from the AGN. This suggests that the outflow cools with increasing distance from the AGN. We find that the hard X-ray emitting nuclear region mapped with Chandra is CO-deprived, but filled with warm molecular gas traced by $\rm H_2$ - thus confirming that the hard (3-6 keV) continuum and Fe K$α$ emission are due to scattering from dense neutral clouds in the ISM.

description: The first and second families of D-wave $b \bar b$ quarkonium states are expected to have masses near 10.16 and 10.44 GeV/$c^2$. The accuracy of these predictions is discussed, and the prospects of two methods for producing these states in electron-positron collisions are updated. Direct scans in the $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass can give rise to the $^3D_1$ states. The $1^3D_J$ states have also been searched for in the electromagnetic cascades from $\ups(3S) \to γχ'_b \to γγ^3D_J$. The sample of $\ups(3S)$ decays required to definitively observe the $1^3D_J$ states is found to be only somewhat greater than the present world's total.

description: Three thermoset resin systems—bio-epoxy, epoxy, and polyester-with 30 v% flax fiber reinforcement have been studied to identify the optimal fiber−resin combination in a typical composite structure. Tensile, interface and interlaminar shear strength together with flexural and impact damage tolerance were compared in this study. The results revealed that mechanical and interfacial properties were not significantly affected by the different resin systems. Microscopy studies reveal that epoxy laminates predominantly fail by fibre linear breakage, polyester laminates by fiber pull-out, and bio-epoxy laminates by a combination of the two. The higher failure strains and pull-out mechanism may explain the better impact damage tolerance of polyester composites. Flow experiments were also conducted, revealing faster impregnation and lower void content with polyester resin, followed by bio-epoxy, due to their lower viscosities. Overall, bio-epoxy resin demonstrates comparable performance to epoxy and polyester resins for use in (semi-)structural bio-composites.

SLC25 mitochondrial carrier family

description: Cryptosporidiumparvum is a clinically important eukaryotic parasite that causes the disease cryptosporidiosis, which manifests with gastroenteritis-like symptoms. The protist has mitosomes, which are organelles of mitochondrial origin that have only been partially characterized. The genome encodes a highly reduced set of transport proteins of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier family of unknown function. Here, we have studied the transport properties of one member of the C. parvum carrier family, demonstrating that it resembles the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier of eukaryotes. However, this carrier has a broader substrate specificity for nucleotides, transporting adenosine, thymidine, and uridine di- and triphosphates in contrast to its mitochondrial orthologues, which have a strict substrate specificity for ADP and ATP. Inspection of the putative translocation pathway highlights a cysteine residue, which is a serine in mitochondrial ADP/ATP carriers. When the serine residue is replaced by cysteine or larger hydrophobic residues in the yeast mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier, the substrate specificity becomes broad, showing that this residue is important for nucleotide base selectivity in ADP/ATP carriers.

description: Deformed wing virus (DWV) is one of the most common viruses in apiaries worldwide, and its presence in Chilean apiaries is no exception. There are three well-defined master variants described as DWV-A, DWV-B (or VDV-1) and DWV-C. We studied the prevalence, load and recombinant genotypes among DWV variants in honey bees from Chilean apiaries. We also compared the viral load in each region in colonies that were treated or untreated against Varroa destructor. Using real-time PCR with specific primers enabled us to determine that DWV-A was the most prevalent (71%) throughout Chile, with a higher level than DWV-B (circa 3% prevalence), and almost 60-times more load, especially in northern Chile. The viral load was lower only in treated colonies located in the Metropolitana, Biobío/Ñuble and Los Ríos regions. The DWV-C genotype and recombinants were not detected. This suggests that viral recombinant events are limited since DWV-B is still uncommon in honey bee hives at present. This is the first study involving DWV-B in Chile.
Givental formula in terms of Virasoro operators

description: We present a conjecture that the universal enveloping algebra of differential operators $\frac{\p}{\p t_k}$ over $\mathbb{C}$ coincides in the origin with the universal enveloping algebra of the (Borel subalgebra of) Virasoro generators from the Kontsevich model. Thus, we can decompose any (pseudo)differential operator to a combination of the Virasoro operators. Using this decomposition we present the r.h.s. of the Givental formula math.AG/0008067 as a constant part of the differential operator we introduce. In the case of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ studied in hep-th/0103254, the l.h.s. of the Givental formula is a unit, which imposes certain constraints on this differential operator. We explicitly check that these constraints are correct up to $O(q^4)$. We also propose a conjecture of factorization modulo Hirota equation of the differential operator introduced and check this conjecture with the same accuracy.

description: We closely study the local amplifications of visible light on a thin dielectric slab presenting a sub-wavelength array of small, rectangular, bottom-closed holes. The high-quality Fabry-Perot resonances of eigen modes which vertically oscillate, and their corresponding near-field maps, especially inside the voids, are numerically quantified with RCWA and analytically interpreted through a quasi-exact modal expansion. This last method gives explicit opto-geometrical rules allowing to finely understand the general trends in 1D and 2D. In more advanced examples, we show that multi-cavity and/or slightly thicker two-dimensional gratings may generate anomalously frequency-susceptible surfaces over a broad spectral range. Also, dielectric membranes a few nanometers thick only, can catch light, with tremendous enhancements of the electric field intensity ($>10^6$) that largely extends in the surrounding space.

description: Behavioural interventions that address cardiovascular risk factors such as physical inactivity and hypertension help reduce recurrence risk following a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or “minor” stroke, but an optimal approach for providing secondary prevention is unclear. After developing an initial draft of an innovative manual for patients, aiming to promote secondary prevention following TIA or minor stroke, we aimed to explore views about its usability and acceptability amongst relevant stakeholders. We held three focus group discussions with 18 participants (people who had experienced a TIA or minor stroke (4), carers (1), health professionals (9), and researchers (4). Reflexive thematic analysis identified the following three inter-related themes: (1) relevant information and content, (2) accessibility of format and helpful structure, and (3) strategies to optimise use and implementation in practice. Information about stroke, medication, diet, physical activity, and fatigue symptoms was valued. Easily accessed advice and practical tips were considered to provide support and reassurance and promote self-evaluation of lifestyle behaviours. Suggested refinements of the manual’s design highlighted the importance of simplifying information and providing reassurance for patients early after a TIA or minor stroke. Information about fatigue, physical activity, and supporting goal setting was viewed as a key component of this novel secondary prevention initiative.

description: The QCD improved parton model is a very successful concept to treat processes in hadronic interactions, whenever large partonic transverse momenta are involved. However, cross sections diverge in the limit p_T -> 0, and the usual treatment is the definition of a lower cutoff p_T_min, such that processes with a smaller p_T -- so-called soft processes -- are simply ignored, which is certainly not correct for example at RHIC energies. A more consistent procedure amounts to introduce a technical parameter Q_0^2, referred to as soft virtuality scale, which is nothing but an artificial borderline between soft and hard physics. We will discuss such a formalism, which coincides with the improved parton model for high p_T processes and with the phenomenological treatment of soft scattering, when only small virtualities are involved. The most important aspect of our approach is that it allows to obtain a smooth transition between soft and hard scattering, and therefore no artificial dependence on a cutoff parameter should appear.

description: A low-power wearable wireless sensor measuring both molecular biomarkers and physiological signals is proposed, where the former are measured by a microfluidic biosensing system while the latter are measured electrically. The low-power consumption of the sensor is achieved by an all-analog circuit implementing Analog Joint Source-Channel Coding (AJSCC) compression. The sensor is applicable to a wide range of biomedical applications that require real-time concurrent molecular biomarker and physiological signal monitoring.

description: Although the invention of right heart catheterisation in the 1950s enabled accurate clinical diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), it was not until 2000 when the landmark discovery of the causative role of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II (BMPR2) mutations shed new light on the pathogenesis of PAH. Since then several genes have been discovered, which now account for around 25% of cases with the clinical diagnosis of idiopathic PAH. Despite the ongoing efforts, in the majority of patients the cause of the disease remains elusive, a phenomenon often referred to as “missing heritability”. In this review, we discuss research approaches to uncover the genetic architecture of PAH starting with forward phenotyping, which in a research setting should focus on stable intermediate phenotypes, forward and reverse genetics, and finally reverse phenotyping. We then discuss potential sources of “missing heritability” and how functional genomics and multi-omics methods are employed to tackle this problem.

description: Past few years have witnessed the prevalence of deep learning in many application scenarios, among which is medical image processing. Diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors requires an accurate and reliable segmentation of brain tumors as a prerequisite. However, such work conventionally requires brain surgeons significant amount of time. Computer vision techniques could provide surgeons a relief from the tedious marking procedure. In this paper, a 3D U-net based deep learning model has been trained with the help of brain-wise normalization and patching strategies for the brain tumor segmentation task in the BraTS 2019 competition. Dice coefficients for enhancing tumor, tumor core, and the whole tumor are 0.737, 0.807 and 0.894 respectively on the validation dataset. These three values on the test dataset are 0.778, 0.798 and 0.852. Furthermore, numerical features including ratio of tumor size to brain size and the area of tumor surface as well as age of subjects are extracted from predicted tumor labels and have been used for the overall survival days prediction task. The accuracy could be 0.448 on the validation dataset, and 0.551 on the final test dataset.

description: We use a computational fluid dynamics model coupled with a particle dynamics model to simulate how catalyst nanoparticles nucleate, grow and evaporate over the length of a floating catalyst reactor. We focus on the influence of the flowrate in the reactor and the ferrocene mass fraction on the production of the catalyst nanoparticles. In the downstream region of the reactor, where the majority of CNT growth occurs, we find that, as either the flowrate or the ferrocene mass fraction increases, the particle mass fraction profile changes, with the mass fraction peak shifting away from the centreline. This displacement away from the centreline of the mass fraction peak may explain why the CNTs form a hollow, sock-like, aerogel at the downstream end of the reactor.

description: Communication networks have multiple users, each sending and receiving messages. A multiple access channel (MAC) models multiple senders transmitting to a single receiver, such as the uplink from many mobile phones to a single base station. The optimal performance of a MAC is quantified by a capacity region of simultaneously achievable communication rates. We study the two-sender classical MAC, the simplest and best-understood network, and find a surprising richness in both a classical and quantum context. First, we find that quantum entanglement shared between senders can substantially boost the capacity of a classical MAC. Second, we find that optimal performance of a MAC with bounded-size inputs may require unbounded amounts of entanglement. Third, determining whether a perfect communication rate is achievable using finite-dimensional entanglement is undecidable. Finally, we show that evaluating the capacity region of a two-sender classical MAC is in fact NP-hard.

description: The slaughterhouse is very useful in monitoring the health status of livestock, the profitability of their breeding and the effectiveness of therapeutic and/or prophylactic strategies. Over the years, a number of methods have been developed to quantify lesions - especially those effecting the respiratory tract, observed in slaughtered animals. Among these is the "Slaughterhouse Pleurisy Evaluation System" (SPES), which is widely used to score pleural lesions caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. The aim of the present study is to develop and assess an alternative method to score pleurisy in slaughtered pigs, based on the inspection of the parietal pleura. This method has been compared with the SPES grid, which is considered as the "gold standard" in this field of study. Preliminary data indicate that the two methods provide almost overlapping results, showing very high correlation coefficients. Scoring pleurisy on the parietal pleura proved to be fast and easy, it could represent a valuable alternative to the SPES method.

description: The study of the feeding of bees is important because periods of flowering shortages reduce the availability of food, jeopardising their survival and limiting the production of their colonies. Previous studies on artificial protein feeding have not reported the chemical composition of the artificial feed, its effect on the colony nor the characterisation of the food. Thus, the present research aimed to study an artificial proteic feed for Melipona flavolineata. We investigated its chemical composition and the effect of natural fermentation on its quality. We also investigated its effects on colony and individual health. The artificial food presented a chemical composition different from natural pollen. It was richer in carbohydrates and lipids than natural pollen, but it was poorer in protein than natural pollen. Nevertheless, the difference between the artificial food and natural pollen did not affect the survival or size of immature individuals, with only adult longevity being affected, albeit not drastically. Decreased amounts of sugar and the addition of ingredients with higher protein content are recommended for future formulations. A diet based on soy extract showed satisfactory results as a food substitute for pollen. Based on these results, diet ingredients can be adjusted to obtain a better-quality food. Artificial diets can be used during scarcity periods or in areas with low availability of natural food sources. However, it is important to emphasize that artificial diets will never fully replace natural food sources. Beekeepers should also improve the environment with plants that provide pollen continuously.

description: Measuring food security in an accurate and cost effective way is important for targeted food relief and for designing anti-poverty programs. A number of studies have established different food security indicators as alternatives to calorie intake but none has conducted a comparative study of multiple indicators. We present a comparative analysis of 3 alternative indicators, (a) dietary diversity score (DDS) (b) self-reported food security and (c) land holding, as alternatives to calorie intake for prediction of household food security. We assess the reliability of the 3 indicators through their relation with household calorie intake, food and non-food expenditure, and nutritional status. We use a nationally representative cross sectional data consisting of 4,423 households from Bangladesh. We find no systematic difference in association with access to food (as measured by household food and non-food expenditure) among the alternative indicators. We also find that the land indicator predicts nutritional status better than DDS and self-reported indicator. We compare the ability of different indicators to predict calorie intake using a Vuong closeness test and find that DDS or any indexes of multiple indicators consisting of DDS can predict calorie intake better than others and more closely resemble the true model of calorie intake. We find the similar conclusion from out-of-sample prediction ability, lowest mean square error and mean absolute error, of alternative indicator. Finally, we try to find a discontinuous break point in DDS at different calorie intake threshold points which we can use as a cut-off points to identify food insecure household. We find no such structural points in DDS distribution.
