description: Introduction: CeFCiD was a multicenter phase II study comparing the efficacy of cetuximab (C), 5-flourouracil, and cisplatin with the same regimen adding docetaxel (D) in recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. The primary analysis trial did not demonstrate survival benefit from therapy intensification in first-line recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The current analysis of the trial assessed the impact of treatment on quality of life (QoL). Methods: The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of life Questionnaire QLQ-C30 and the tumor-specific module for head and neck cancer (QLQ-H&N35) were used to assess QoL at baseline (visit 1), after 2 (visit 3), 4 (visit 5), and 6 (visit 7) cycles of chemotherapy. Results: Of 180 patients included in this study, 86 patients (47.8%) completed the questionnaires at baseline. Considering selected scores over treatment time, there was no difference in global QoL, dyspnea, swallowing, and speech between the treatment arms in the course. For fatigue, a significant increase from baseline to visit 3 (p = 0.02), visit 5 (p = 0.002), and to visit 7 (p = 0.003) was observed for patients receiving D, cisplatin or carboplatin (P), 5-fluorouracil (F), and C. At the end of chemotherapy, the manifestation of fatigue was similar compared in the 2 treatment arms. Discussion/Conclusion: Therapy intensification not adversely affects selected scores of QoL of patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN. Nevertheless, fatigue seems to be pronounced in patients treated with D.

description: We establish an intriguing correspondence between a special set of classical solutions of the modified sinh-Gordon equation (i.e., Hitchin's "self-duality" equations) on a punctured Riemann sphere and a set of stationary states in the finite-volume Hilbert space of the integrable 2D QFT introduced by V.A. Fateev. Potential applications of this correspondence to the problem of non-perturbative quantization of classically integrable non-linear sigma models are briefly discussed. A detailed account of the results announced in this letter is contained in a separate publication arXiv:1310.4390.

description: It is known that the order $α'$ correction to the tree-level effective action for the bosonic and heterotic string can be described in the framework of Double Field Theory (DFT). Here we determine the DFT action and transformations at order $α'^2$ by a direct calculation. The result is vastly simpler than previous proposals. We show that this correction reproduces the known $α'^2$ correction to the heterotic string effective action. The relation of our action to an (implicit) all order proposal coming from the so-called generalized Bergshoeff-de Roo identification is also discussed.

description: We consider quintessence models within 4D effective descriptions of gravity coupled to two scalar fields. These theories are known to give rise to viable models of late-time cosmic acceleration without any need for flat potentials, and so they are potentially in agreement with the dS Swampland conjecture. In this paper we investigate the possibility of consistently embedding such constructions in string theory. We identify situations where the quintessence fields are either closed string universal moduli or non-universal moduli such as blow-up modes. We generically show that no trajectories compatible with today's cosmological parameters exist, if one starts from matter-dominated initial conditions. It is worth remarking that universal trajectories compatible with observations do appear, provided that the starting point at early times is a phase of kinetic domination. However, justifying this choice of initial conditions on solid grounds is far from easy. We conclude by studying Q-ball formation in this class of models and discuss constraints coming from Q-ball safety in all cases analyzed here.

description: Nonlocal interaction between ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices can give rise to interesting quantum many-body phenomena. However, its realization usually demands unconventional techniques, for example the artificial gauge fields or higher-orbit Feshbach resonances, and is not highly controllable. Here, we propose a valid and feasible scheme for realizing a tunable finite-range interaction for spinless fermions immersed into the bath of bosons. The strength of the effective interaction for the fermionic subsystem is artificially tunable by manipulating bosons, ranging from the repulsive to attractive regime. And the interaction distance is locked to the hopping of bosons, making the finite-range interaction perfectly clean for the fermionic subsystem. Specifically we find that, by introducing an additional staggered hopping of bosons, the proposal is readily applied to search the Majorana corner modes in such a spinless system, without implementation of complex artificial gauge fields, which is totally distinct from existing results reported in spinful systems. Therefore this scheme provides a potential platform for exploring the unconventional topological superfluids and other nontrivial phases induced by long-range interactions in ultracold atoms.

description: Let $p$ be a prime, $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. In this paper, we provide the classification of connected Hopf algebras of dimension $p^3$, except the case when the primitive space of the Hopf algebra is two dimensional and abelian. Each isomorphism class is presented by generators $x, y, z$ with relations and Hopf algebra structures. Let $μ$ be the multiplicative group of $(p^2+p-1)$-th roots of unity. When the primitive space is one-dimensional and $p$ is odd, there is an infinite family of isomorphism classes, which is naturally parameterized by $A_{k}^1/μ$.

description: Background: Endobronchial valve therapy has proven to reduce lung hyperinflation and decrease disease burden in patients with severe lung emphysema. Exclusion of collateral ventilation (CV) of the targeted lobe by using an endobronchial assessment system (Chartis; PulmonX, Drive Redwood City, CA, USA) in combination with software-based fissure integrity analysis (FCS [fissure completeness score]) of computed tomography scans of the lung are established tools to select appropriate patients for endobronchial valve treatment. So far, there is no conclusive evidence if the ventilation mode during bronchoscopy impacts the outcome of Chartis assessments. Methods: Patients with Chartis assessments and software-based quantification of FCS (StratX; PulmonX, Drive Redwood City, CA, USA) were enrolled in this retrospective study. During bronchoscopy, pulmonary fissure integrity was evaluated with the Chartis assessment system in each patient first under spontaneous breathing and subsequently under high-frequency (HF) jet ventilation. Results: In total, 102 patients were analyzed. Four Chartis phenotypes CV positive (CV+), CV negative (CV-), low flow, and low plateau in spontaneous breathing and HF jet ventilation were identified. The frequency of each Chartis phenotype per lobe was similar in both settings. When comparing Chartis assessments in spontaneous breathing and HF jet ventilation, there was an overall good concordance rate for all analyzed fissures. In agreement, receiver operating characteristic analysis of the FCS showed an almost similar prediction for CV+ and CV- status independent of the ventilation modes. Conclusion: Chartis assessment in spontaneous breathing and HF jet ventilation had similar rates in detecting CV in lung emphysema. Our results suggest that both modes are equivalent for the assessment of CV.

description: Industry 4.0 has become a driver for the entire manufacturing industry. Smart systems have enabled 30% productivity increases and predictive maintenance has been demonstrated to provide a 50% reduction in machine downtime. So far, the solution has been based on data analytics which has resulted in a proliferation of sensing technologies and infrastructure for data acquisition, transmission and processing. At the core of factory operation and automation are circuits that control and power factory equipment, innovative circuit design has the potential to address many system integration challenges. We present a new circuit design approach based on circuit level artificial intelligence solutions, integrated within control and calibration functional blocks during circuit design, improving the predictability and adaptability of each component for predictive maintenance. This approach is envisioned to encourage the development of new EDA tools such as automatic digital shadow generation and product lifecycle models, that will help identification of circuit parameters that adequately define the operating conditions for dynamic prediction and fault detection. Integration of a supplementary artificial intelligence block within the control loop is considered for capturing non-linearities and gain/bandwidth constraints of the main controller and identifying changes in the operating conditions beyond the response of the controller. System integration topics are discussed regarding integration within OPC Unified Architecture and predictive maintenance interfaces, providing real-time updates to the digital shadow that help maintain an accurate, virtual replica model of the physical system.

description: We probe the systematic uncertainties from 113 Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) sample along with 197 SN Ia from a combination of low-redshift surveys. The companion paper by Rest et al. (2013) describes the photometric measurements and cosmological inferences from the PS1 sample. The largest systematic uncertainty stems from the photometric calibration of the PS1 and low-z samples. We increase the sample of observed Calspec standards from 7 to 10 used to define the PS1 calibration system. The PS1 and SDSS-II calibration systems are compared and discrepancies up to ~0.02 mag are recovered. We find uncertainties in the proper way to treat intrinsic colors and reddening produce differences in the recovered value of w up to 3%. We estimate masses of host galaxies of PS1 supernovae and detect an insignificant difference in distance residuals of the full sample of 0.037\pm0.031 mag for host galaxies with high and low masses. Assuming flatness in our analysis of only SNe measurements, we find $w = {-1.120^{+0.360}_{-0.206}\textrm{(Stat)} ^{+0.269}_{-0.291}\textrm{(Sys)}}$. With additional constraints from BAO, CMB(Planck) and H0 measurements, we find $w = -1.166^{+0.072}_{-0.069}$ and $Ω_M=0.280^{+0.013}_{-0.012}$ (statistical and systematic errors added in quadrature). Significance of the inconsistency with $w=-1$ depends on whether we use Planck or WMAP measurements of the CMB: $w_{\textrm{BAO+H0+SN+WMAP}}=-1.124^{+0.083}_{-0.065}$.

description: We revisit minimal non-supersymmetric models of SU(5) Grand Unification with the type II seesaw mechanism as the origin of neutrino masses. Imposing the requirement of gauge coupling unification and the proton lifetime bounds, we perform a Bayesian fit and obtain robust quantitative information on the mass scales of the beyond the Standard Model particles. We then study lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) processes induced by the type II scalar triplet and its SU(5) partners, showing that the interplay of upcoming searches for different LFV observables can provide additional information on the masses of the new particles, as well as non-trivial constraints on neutrino parameters.

On hyperbolic points and periodic orbits of symplectomorphisms

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Symplectic Geometry (math.SG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits of symplectomorphisms isotopic to the identity if they admit at least one hyperbolic periodic orbit and satisfy some condition on the flux. Our result is proved for a certain class of closed symplectic manifolds and the main tool we use is a variation of Floer theory for symplectomorphisms, the Floer-Novikov theory. The proof relies on an important result on hyperbolic orbits, namely, that a \emph{Floer-Novikov} trajectory which converges to an iteration $k$ of the hyperbolic orbit and crosses its fixed neighborhood has energy bounded bellow by a strictly positive constant independent of $k$. The main theorem follows from this feature of hyperbolic orbits and certain properties of quantum homology on the class of symplectic manifolds we work with.

The string is modelled by a wave equation in a time-dependent interval with two endpoints moving at a constant speed $v$. For the undamped case, we obtain a conserved functional equivalent to the energy of the solution. We derive precise upper and lower estimates for the exponential decay of the energy with explicit constants. These estimates do not seem to be reported in the literature even for the non-travelling case $v=0$.

description: The Parker Solar Probe mission provides a unique opportunity to characterize several features of the solar wind at different heliocentric distances. Recent findings have shown a transition in the inertial range spectral and scaling properties around 0.4-0.5 au when moving away from the Sun. Here we provide, for the first time, how to reconcile these observational results on the radial evolution of the magnetic and velocity field fluctuations with two scenarios drawn from the magnetohydrodynamic theory. The observed breakdown is the result of the radial evolution of magnetic field fluctuations and plasma thermal expansion affecting the distribution between magnetic and velocity fluctuations. The two scenarios point towards an evolving nature of the coupling between fields that can be also reconciled with Kraichnan and Kolmogorov pictures of turbulence. Our findings have important implications for turbulence studies and modeling approaches.

Smaller avalanche charge due to the reduced gap size raises concerns for signal integrity. This work focuses on the RPC signal propagation process in lossless conditions, and an analytical study is implemented for the ATLAS RPC. Detector modeling is presented, and the simulation of the RPC signal is discussed in detail. Simulated characteristic impedance and crosstalk have been compared with the measured value to validate this model. This method is applied to different RPC design geometries, including the newly proposed $η-η$ readout scheme.

Investigating the determinants of Enterococcus faecalis virulence in Drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: Wadhawan, Ashima Deepak
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium found in the normal gut microbiota of diverse species, including vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as being common in the environment. It is also an opportunistic pathogen with a broad host range. One of the hosts E. faecalis can infect is the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The Drosophila immune response is distinct from that of humans and interacts with E. faecalis differently. To study this interaction we carried out experimental evolution via serial passage of E. faecalis in Drosophila. We generated E. faecalis strains with much-enhanced ability to survive and proliferate within this host. Strains selected in this way are specifically resistant to the Toll-induced Bomanin family of effector peptides, resulting not only in higher E. faecalis numbers but also in a significant increase in pathogenicity. Many of these Drosophila-selected strains also exhibit marked increases or decreases in antimicrobial resistance. Whole genome sequencing showed that most selected strains carried single mutations and that many of these mutations were in genes encoding proteins known to be involved in bacterial surface characteristics and antimicrobial resistance (mprF_2, liaF, yxdM, croS, bgsA). To test if Drosophila antimicrobial peptides kill E. faecalis using mechanisms similar to antibiotics we generated E. faecalis strains that were resistant to daptomycin. Some of these daptomycin-adapted strains also acquired resistance to the Drosophila immune response. Daptomycin-adapted E. faecalis strains have mutations in the same genes or the same regulatory systems as were observed in Drosophila-adapted strains. As common genetic mechanisms underlie the resistance of E. faecalis to daptomycin and the Drosophila immune response, these results indicate these two systems target the same conserved bacterial properties in E. faecalis. They also demonstrate that the selection and emergence of antibiotic resistance in vivo does not require antibiotic exposure.

description: Magnetorotational supernovae are a rare type of core-collapse supernovae where the magnetic field and rotation play a central role in the dynamics of the explosion. We present the post-processed nucleosynthesis of state-of-the-art neutrino-MHD supernova models that follow the post explosion evolution for few seconds. We find three different dynamical mechanisms to produce heavy r-process elements: i) a prompt ejection of matter right after core bounce, ii) neutron-rich matter that is ejected at late times due to a reconfiguration of the protoneutronstar shape, iii) small amount of mass ejected with high entropies in the center of the jet. We investigate total ejecta yields, including the ones of unstable nuclei such as $^{26}$Al, $^{44}$Ti, $^{56}$Ni, and $^{60}$Fe. The obtained $^{56}$Ni masses vary between $0.01 - 1\,\mathrm{M_\odot}$. The latter maximum is compatible with hypernova observations. Furthermore, all of our models synthesize Zn masses in agreement with observations of old metal-poor stars. We calculate simplified light curves to investigate whether our models can be candidates for superluminous supernovae. The peak luminosities obtained from taking into account only nuclear heating reach up to a few $\sim 10^{43} \,\mathrm{erg\,s^{-1}}$. Under certain conditions, we find a significant impact of the $^{66}$Ni decay chain that can raise the peak luminosity up to $\sim 38\%$ compared to models including only the $^{56}$Ni decay chain. This work reinforces the theoretical evidence on the critical role of magnetorotational supernovae to understand the occurrence of hypernovae, superluminous supernovae, and the synthesis of heavy elements.

description: Two doubly indexed families of homogeneous and isobaric polynomials in several indeterminates are considered: the (partial) exponential Bell polynomials $B_{n,k}$ and a new family $S_{n,k}$ such that $X_1^{-(2n-1)}S_{n,k}$ and $B_{n,k}$ obey an inversion law which generalizes that of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind. Both polynomial families appear as Lie coefficients in expansions of certain derivatives of higher order. Substituting $D^j(φ)$ (the $j$-th derivative of a fixed function $φ$) in place of the indeterminates $X_j$ shows that both $S_{n,k}$ and $B_{n,k}$ are differential polynomials depending on $φ$ and on its inverse $\overlineφ$, respectively. Some new light is shed thereby on Comtet's solution of the Lagrange inversion problem in terms of the Bell polynomials. According to Haiman and Schmitt that solution is essentially the antipode on the Faà di Bruno Hopf algebra. It can be represented by $X_1^{-(2n-1)}S_{n,1}$. Moreover, a general expansion formula that holds for the whole family $S_{n,k}$ ($1\leq k\leq n$) is established together with a closed expression for the coefficients of $S_{n,k}$. Several important properties of the Stirling numbers are demonstrated to be special cases of relations between the corresponding polynomials. As a non-trivial example, a Schlömilch-type formula is derived expressing $S_{n,k}$ in terms of the Bell polynomials $B_{n,k}$, and vice versa.

description: This paper presents, via an explicit example with a real-world dataset, a hands-on introduction to the field of quantum machine learning (QML). We focus on the case of learning with a single qubit, using data re-uploading techniques. After a discussion of the relevant background in quantum computing and machine learning we provide a thorough explanation of the data re-uploading models that we consider, and implement the different proposed formulations in toy and real-world datasets using the qiskit quantum computing SDK. We find that, as in the case of classical neural networks, the number of layers is a determining factor in the final accuracy of the models. Moreover, and interestingly, the results show that single-qubit classifiers can achieve a performance that is on-par with classical counterparts under the same set of training conditions. While this cannot be understood as a proof of the advantage of quantum machine learning, it points to a promising research direction, and raises a series of questions that we outline.

description: We explore the multi-black hole spacetimes from the perspective of the ultra-high energy particle collisions. Such a discussion is limited to the spacetimes containing a single black hole so far. We deal with the Majumdar-Papapetrou solution representing a system consisting of two identical black holes in the equilibrium. In order to identify the conditions suitable for the process of high energy collisions, we consider particles confined to move on the equatorial plane towards the axis of symmetry with the zero angular momentum. We consider collision between the particles moving in opposite directions at the location midway between the black holes on the axis. We show that the center of mass energy of collision between the particles increases with the decrease in the separation between the black holes and shows divergence in the limit where the separation goes to zero. We estimate the size of the region close to the central point on the equatorial plane where it would be possible to have high energy collisions and show that this region has a reasonably large spatial extent. We further explore the process of high energy collisions with the general geodesics with arbitrary angular momentum on the equatorial plane away from the central point. Although in this paper we deal with theMajumdar-Papapetrou spacetime which serves as a toy example representing multiple black holes, we speculate on the possibility that the ultra-high energy collisions would also occur in the more general setting like colliding black holes, when distance between the black holes is extremely small, which can in principle be verified in the numerical relativity simulations.

The Properties of Fast Yellow Pulsating Supergiants: FYPS Point the Way to Missing Red Supergiants

description: Fast yellow pulsating supergiants (FYPS) are a recently-discovered class of evolved massive pulsator. As candidate post-red supergiant objects, and one of the few classes of pulsating evolved massive stars, these objects have incredible potential to change our understanding of the structure and evolution of massive stars. Here we examine the lightcurves of a sample of 126 cool supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\tess~) in order to identify pulsating stars. After making quality cuts and filtering out contaminant objects, we examine the distribution of pulsating stars in the Hertzprung-Russel (HR) diagram, and find that FYPS occupy a region above $\log L/L_\odot \gtrsim 5.0$. This luminosity boundary corresponds to stars with initial masses of $\sim$18-20 $M_\odot$, consistent with the most massive red supergiant progenitors of supernovae (SNe) II-P, as well as the observed properties of SNe IIb progenitors. This threshold is in agreement with the picture that FYPS are post-RSG stars. Finally, we characterize the behavior of FYPS pulsations as a function of their location in the HR diagram. We find low frequency pulsations at higher effective temperatures, higher frequency pulsations at lower temperatures, with a transition between the two behaviors at intermediate temperatures. The observed properties of FYPS make them fascinating objects for future theoretical study.

Biomechanics of the insect bite apparatus
Creators: name: Puffel, Frederik
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, I investigate the morphology and biomechanics of the insect bite apparatus using polymorphous leaf-cutter ants as study organism. I first quantify the key morphological determinants of bite force and discuss the spatial constraints of muscle geometry imposed by the insect exoskeleton. Across the substantial size-range of leaf-cutter ant workers, the bite force capacity increases with a strong positive allometry, driven by a disproportional increase in the volume of the mandible closer muscle combined with a muscle fibre arrangement that enables high volume-specific muscle forces. Second, I derive and validate a biomechanical model that links the geometry of the musculoskeletal bite apparatus to changes of the mandibular opening angle. I then deploy this model to extract the force-length properties of the mandible closer muscle via in-vivo bite force measurements. Third, based on these results and the previously extracted morphological parameters, I predict the scaling relationship between maximum bite force and body mass, and compare this prediction to direct force measurements. Leaf-cutter ants generate among the highest weight-specific bite forces ever reported for any animal, displaying an exceptional level of morphological and physiological adaptation to the high mechanical demands of herbivory. Fourth, I turn my attention to ontogenetic changes of the bite apparatus, from freshly-eclosed adults to fully-matured foragers. In the week following eclosion, the bite apparatus undergoes a considerable biomechanical development, driven by substantial muscle growth and increasing head capsule rigidity. As a result, young leaf-cutter ants are likely incapable of engaging in any colony tasks involving leaf-cutting. Fifth, although fully-matured foragers can generate much larger bite forces than callows, their mandibles require significantly higher forces to cut the same material. These mandibular cutting forces are largely size-independent, and for callows, they approach a theoretical minimum for the tested material, suggesting geometric adaptations for high mandible ‘sharpness’. The results of this work add important aspects to the discussion on age- and size-related foraging behaviour in social insects, and more generally, underline the importance of biomechanics in insect herbivory.
The Circular Velocity Function of Group Galaxies

description: A robust prediction of $Λ{\rm CDM}$ cosmology is the halo circular velocity function (CVF), a dynamical cousin of the halo mass function. The correspondence between theoretical and observed CVFs is uncertain, however: cluster galaxies are reported to exhibit a power-law CVF consistent with $N$-body simulations, but that of the field is distinctly Schechter-like, flattened relative to $Λ{\rm CDM}$ expectations at circular velocities $v_c \lesssim 200\, {\rm km\, s^{-1}}$. Groups offer a powerful probe of the role environment plays in this discrepancy as they bridge the field and clusters. Here, we construct the CVF for a large, mass- and multiplicity-complete sample of group galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using independent photometric $v_c$ estimators, we find no transition from a field- to $Λ{\rm CDM}$-shaped CVF above $v_c = 50\, {\rm km\, s^{-1}}$ as a function of group halo mass. All groups with $12.4 \lesssim \log M_{\rm halo} / M_{\odot} \lesssim 15.1$ (Local Group analogs to rich clusters) display similar Schechter-like CVFs marginally suppressed at low-$v_c$ compared to that of the field. Conversely, some agreement with $N$-body results emerges for samples saturated with late-type galaxies, with isolated late-types displaying a CVF similar in shape to $Λ{\rm CDM}$ predictions. We conclude that the flattening of the low-$v_c$ slope in groups is due to their depressed late-type fractions -- environment affecting the CVF only to the extent that it correlates with this quantity -- and that previous cluster analyses may suffer from interloper contamination. These results serve as useful benchmarks for cosmological simulations of galaxy formation.

Resolving Galactic binaries using a network of space-borne gravitational wave detectors

description: Extracting gravitational wave (GW) signals from individual Galactic binaries (GBs) against their self-generated confusion noise is a key data analysis challenge for space-borne detectors operating in the $\approx 0.1$ mHz to $\approx 10$ mHz range. Given the likely prospect that there will be multiple such detectors, namely LISA, Taiji, and Tianqin, with overlapping operational periods in the next decade, it is important to examine the extent to which the joint analysis of their data can benefit GB resolution and parameter estimation. To investigate this, we use realistic simulated LISA and Taiji data containing the set of $30\times 10^6$ GBs used in the first LISA data challenge (Radler), and an iterative source extraction method called GBSIEVER introduced in an earlier work. We find that a coherent network analysis of LISA-Taiji data boosts the number of confirmed sources by $\approx 75\%$ over that from a single detector. The residual after subtracting out the reported sources from the data of any one of the detectors is much closer to the confusion noise expected from an ideal, but infeasible, multisource resolution method that perfectly removes all sources above a given signal-to-noise ratio threshold. While parameter estimation for sources common to both the single detector and network improves broadly in line with the enhanced signal to noise ratio of GW sources in the latter, deviation from the scaling of error variance predicted by Fisher information analysis is observed for a subset of the parameters.
