description: The revival of oscillation and maintaining rhythmicity in a network of coupled oscillators offer an open challenge to researchers as the cessation of oscillation often leads to a fatal system degradation and an irrecoverable malfunctioning in many physical, biological and physiological systems. Recently a general technique of restoration of rhythmicity in diffusively coupled networks of nonlinear oscillators has been proposed in [Zou et al. Nature Commun. 6:7709, 2015], where it is shown that a proper feedback parameter that controls the rate of diffusion can effectively revive oscillation from an oscillation suppressed state. In this paper we show that the mean-field diffusive coupling, which can suppress oscillation even in a network of identical oscillators, can be modified in order to revoke the cessation of oscillation induced by it. Using a rigorous bifurcation analysis we show that, unlike other diffusive coupling schemes, here one has {\it two control parameters}, namely the {\it density of the mean-field} and the {\it feedback parameter} that can be controlled to revive oscillation from a death state. We demonstrate that an appropriate choice of density of the mean-field is capable of inducing rhythmicity even in the presence of complete diffusion, which is an unique feature of this mean-field coupling that is not available in other coupling schemes. Finally, we report the {\it first} experimental observation of revival of oscillation from the mean-field--induced oscillation suppression state that supports our theoretical results.

description: Mechanisms of aerial righting in juvenile chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) were studied from hatching to 14 days-post-hatching (dph). Asymmetric movements of the wings were used from 1 to 8 dph to effect progressively more successful righting behaviour via body roll. Following 8 dph, wing motions transitioned to bilaterally symmetric flapping that yielded aerial righting via nose-down pitch, along with substantial increases in vertical force production during descent. Ontogenetically, the use of such wing motions to effect aerial righting precedes both symmetric flapping and a previously documented behaviour in chukar (i.e. wing-assisted incline running) hypothesized to be relevant to incipient flight evolution in birds. These findings highlight the importance of asymmetric wing activation and controlled aerial manoeuvres during bird development and are potentially relevant to understanding the origins of avian flight.

Semi-quantitative analyses based on a pseudospin-1/2 Hamiltonian for ionic non-Kramers magnetic doublets demonstrate that it is an ordered state of electric quadrupole moments. The elusive spin liquid state of the nominal Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ is most likely a U(1) quantum spin-liquid state.

description: Topological defects play a pivotal role in the physics of liquid crystals and represent one of the most prominent and well studied aspects of mesophases. While in two-dimensional nematics, disclinations are traditionally treated as point-like objects, recent experimental studies on active nematics have suggested that half-strength disclinations might in fact possess a polar structure. In this article, we provide a precise definition of polarity for half-strength nematic disclinations, we introduce a simple and robust method to calculate this quantity from experimental and numerical data and we investigate how the orientational properties of half-strength disclinations affect their relaxational dynamics.

Rapid evolution of mimicry following local model extinction

description: Batesian mimicry evolves when individuals of a palatable species gain the selective advantage of reduced predation because they resemble a toxic species that predators avoid. Here, we evaluated whether—and in which direction—Batesian mimicry has evolved in a natural population of mimics following extirpation of their model. We specifically asked whether the precision of coral snake mimicry has evolved among kingsnakes from a region where coral snakes recently (1960) went locally extinct. We found that these kingsnakes have evolved more precise mimicry; by contrast, no such change occurred in a sympatric non-mimetic species or in conspecifics from a region where coral snakes remain abundant. Presumably, more precise mimicry has continued to evolve after model extirpation, because relatively few predator generations have passed, and the fitness costs incurred by predators that mistook a deadly coral snake for a kingsnake were historically much greater than those incurred by predators that mistook a kingsnake for a coral snake. Indeed, these results are consistent with prior theoretical and empirical studies, which revealed that only the most precise mimics are favoured as their model becomes increasingly rare. Thus, highly noxious models can generate an ‘evolutionary momentum’ that drives the further evolution of more precise mimicry—even after models go extinct.

description: Incorporation of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab into front-line regimens for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has resulted in improved survival. Despite this progress, many patients develop refractory or recurrent DLBCL and then receive autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AuHCT). It is unclear to what extent pre-transplant exposure to rituximab affects outcomes following AuHCT. Outcomes of 994 patients receiving AuHCT for DLBCL between 1996 and 2003 were analyzed according to whether rituximab was (n=176, “+R” group) or was not (n=818, “ −R” group) administered with front-line or salvage therapy prior to AuHCT. The +R group had superior progression-free survival (50% versus 38%, p=0.008) and overall survival (57% versus 45%, p=0.006) at 3 years. Platelet and neutrophil engraftment were not affected by exposure to rituximab. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) did not differ significantly between the +R and −R groups. In multivariate analysis, the +R group had improved progression-free survival (relative risk of relapse/progression or death 0.64, p<0.001) and improved overall survival (relative risk of death of 0.74, p=0.039). We conclude that pre-transplant rituximab is associated with a lower rate of progression and improved survival following AuHCT for DLBCL, with no evidence of impaired engraftment or increased NRM.

description: We study the four-dimensional relationships between magnetic activity, rotation, mass and age for solar-type stars in the age range 5-25Myr. This is the late-pre-main sequence (l-PMS) evolutionary phase when rapid changes in star's interior may lead to the changes in magnetic dynamo mechanisms. We carefully derive rotational periods and spot sizes for 471 members of several l-PMS open clusters using photometric light curves from the Zwicky Transient Facility. Magnetic activity was measured in our previous Chandra-based study, and additional rotational data were obtained from other work. Several results emerge. Mass-dependent evolution of rotation through the l-PMS phase agrees with astrophysical models of stellar angular momentum changes, although the data point to a subpopulation of stars with slower initial rotations than commonly assumed. There is a hint of the onset of unsaturated tachoclinal dependency of X-ray activity on rotation, as reported by Argiroffi et al. (2016), but this result is not confidently confirmed. Both X-ray luminosity and star spot area decrease approximately as t^{-1} for solar mass stars suggesting that spot magnetic fields are roughly constant and l-PMS stars follow the universal solar-scaling law between the X-ray luminosity and surface magnetic flux. Assuming convective dynamos are dominant, theoretical magnetic fluxes fail to reveal the universal law for l-PMS stars that enter late Henyey tracks. Altogether we emerge with a few lines of evidence suggesting that the transition from the turbulent to solar-type dynamo occurs at the later stages of l-PMS evolution as stars approach the Zero-Age Main Sequence.

description: We compared outcomes of 916 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients age ≥ 18 years undergoing first autologous (n=837) or myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) (n=79) between 1995–2003 reported to the CIBMTR. Median follow-up was 81 months for allogeneic HCT vs. 60 months for autologous. Allogeneic HCT recipients were more likely to have high risk disease features including higher stage, more prior chemotherapy regimens and resistant disease. Allogeneic HCT was associated with a higher 1 year treatment-related mortality (TRM) (RR 4.88, 95% CI, 3.21–7.40, p<0.001), treatment failure (RR 2.06, 95% CI, 1.54–2.75, p<0.001) and mortality (RR 2.75, 95% CI, 2.03–3.72, p<0.001). Risk of disease progression was similar in the 2 groups (RR 1.12, 95% CI, 0.73–1.72, p=0.59). In fact, for 1 year survivors, no significant differences were observed for TRM, progression, progression-free or overall survival. Increased risks of TRM and mortality were associated with older age (>50 years), lower performance score, chemoresistance and earlier year of transplant. In a cohort of mainly high risk DLBCL patients, upfront myeloablative allogeneic HCT while associated with increased early mortality was associated with a similar risk of disease progression compared to lower risk patients receiving autologous HCT.
Exotic Hadrons from Scattering in the Diabatic Dynamical Diquark Model

description: The diabatic framework generalizes the adiabatic approximation built into the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) formalism, and is devised to rigorously incorporate the mixing of BO-approximation eigenstates with two-particle thresholds. We recently applied this framework in a bound-state approximation to the mixing of hidden-charm dynamical-diquark tetraquark states with open-charm di-meson thresholds. Since almost all of these states are observed as above-threshold resonances, we here implement the corresponding scattering formalism to allow for a study of exotic tetraquark resonances within the diabatic framework. We calculate elastic open-charm di-meson cross sections (in channels with zero, open, and hidden strangeness) as functions of center-of-mass energy, and observe the development of true resonances, near resonances, and various threshold cusp effects. As an example, $χ_{c1}(3872)$ can originate in the $1^{++}$ channel as a diquark-antidiquark state enhanced by the $D^0 \overline{D}^{*0}$ threshold, with or without an additional contribution from the conventional charmonium $χ_{c1}(2P)$ state.

description: We consider the problem of estimating the direction of arrival of a signal embedded in $K$-distributed noise, when secondary data which contains noise only are assumed to be available. Based upon a recent formula of the Fisher information matrix (FIM) for complex elliptically distributed data, we provide a simple expression of the FIM with the two data sets framework. In the specific case of $K$-distributed noise, we show that, under certain conditions, the FIM for the deterministic part of the model can be unbounded, while the FIM for the covariance part of the model is always bounded. In the general case of elliptical distributions, we provide a sufficient condition for unboundedness of the FIM. Accurate approximations of the FIM for $K$-distributed noise are also derived when it is bounded. Additionally, the maximum likelihood estimator of the signal DoA and an approximated version are derived, assuming known covariance matrix: the latter is then estimated from secondary data using a conventional regularization technique. When the FIM is unbounded, an analysis of the estimators reveals a rate of convergence much faster than the usual $T^{-1}$. Simulations illustrate the different behaviors of the estimators, depending on the FIM being bounded or not.

description: In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate how discrete resonances can be used to image acoustic sources and mechanical changes in thin plates with different boundary shapes. The proposed method uses coupled numerical and experimental data processing, and it only requires the knowledge of the sample geometry (and not its elastic properties). If a limited number of measurement points is available in experiments, the free modes of the plates are not orthogonal from the receivers' point of view, and this induces an artificial coupling in the post-processing of the experimental signals. However, we show that this effect can be corrected using numerical simulations and a mathematical transformation of the antenna geometry. After this correction, imaging of active sources is performed using coherent summation of the elastic field over the natural frequencies of the plates, leading to an unique localization of the sources. Imaging mechanical changes in the two plates, instead, is addressed using incoherent summation over the modes, leading to symmetry problems for the plates. This work experimentally illustrates the spatial resolution, perspectives and limitations in the use of eigenmodes to produce images in complex elastic systems of arbitrary shape and materials.

description: CALGB conducted a Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen with allogeneic transplantation to treat patients with recurrent low grade B cell malignancies. Patients over age 18 with a diagnosis of relapsed, chemotherapy-sensitive disease underwent transplantation with a matched sibling donor and conditioning with cyclophosphamide (1 g/m2/d × 3) and fludarabine phosphate (25 mg/m2/d × 5). GVH prophylaxis included cyclosporine or tacrolimus plus low-dose methotrexate. Forty-four evaluable patients with a median age of 53 and median of two prior regimens were accrued. Sixteen patients had follicular NHL and 28 had histologies including 7 indolent B cell lymphomas, 4 mantle cell, 15 chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and 2 prolymphocytic leukemia pts. The six-month treatment-related mortality (TRM) was 2.4% and three-year TRM was 9%. Three-year event-free and overall survival were.75 and .81 for the follicular patients, .59 and .71 for the CLL/PLL patients, and .55 and .64 for the other histologies. The incidence of grade 2–4 acute graft vs host disease (GVHD) was 29% and extensive chronic GVHD was 18%. This report demonstrates that allogeneic sibling transplantation with a reduced intensity conditioning regimen is safe and efficacious for patients with advanced indolent B cell malignancies enrolled on a Cooperative Group study.
Sprog og disembodiment. Simultantolkning af humor i Europaparlamentet.

description: When people speak their mother tongue, they do it from a fundamental experience of embodiment. This article treats the topic of disembodiment of language, i.e., the experience of body and language being separated in communication, what necessarily occurs when the communication partners speak different and foreign languages. For the study of linguistic disembodiment I shall use the case of simultaneous interpretation of humour in the European Parliament (EP), which poses problems of disembodiment on several levels; verbal humour in itself being an embodied type of linguistic expression will supposedly be threatened not only by the transfer between languages, but also by the very technicalities of the simultaneous interpretation process. The study is based on empirical data, comprising interviews with Danish interpreters and with their “customers”, Danish members of the EP (MEPs), as well as about ten hours of observations from the interpreters’ booth. The findings show a disagreement between interpreters and MEPs as to the perceived successfulness of interpreting humour and having it interpreted; a discrepancy, which can be led back to the experience of disembodiment, and which I shall explain within a sociological framework, the so-called Associative-Network Theory (ANT). In fact, I shall consider the interpreters’ booth, used here as a metonym for all the technical devices involved in the interpretation process, as a negative social mediator in social interaction, putting obstacles in the way of a successful translation of humour; humour which, in contrast, I consider a positive social mediator because of its potential for furthering cooperation between communication partners across languages, cultures and political observation.

description: We prospectively treated 80 patients with relapse of malignancy or secondary myelodysplasia after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) using a reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen of fludarabine 150 mg/m2 plus intravenous busulfan 6.4 mg/kg. Both sibling (MSD) and unrelated donors (MUD) were allowed. Patients transplanted from MUD donors received more intensive graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, including rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin 10 mg/kg, mycophenolate mofetil, and an extended schedule of tacrolimus. With a median follow-up of 3.1 years (0.9 to 5.8), TRM at 6 months and 2 years was 8% and 23% respectively. Neither TRM nor the rates of acute GVHD were different in those with sibling or MUD donors. Donor CD3 cell chimerism > 90% at day +30 was achieved more often in patients with MUD than with MSD donors, 70% versus 23% (p<0.0001). Median EFS was higher in patients who achieved early full donor chimerism (14.2 versus 8 mo, p = 0.0395). Allo-HCT using this RIC regimen can be performed with low TRM in patients who have received a prior AHCT. Efforts to improve early donor CD3 chimerism may improve EFS.

description: The article compares directive utterances from Danish film-dialogues with their translations into Russian. The attention is focused on some typical deviations between the two languages in pragmatic meanings communicated by their imperative structures and other volitive utterances. Those deviations stem from basic differences between Danish and Russian which belong to different communicative supertypes as described in Per Durst-Andersen’s cognitive-semiotic theory of human communication. Danish as a hearer-oriented language is developing a special paradigm of analytic imperative structures aimed at denoting different levels of communicative contract between the speaker and the hearer. Unlike Danish, forms of imperative in Russian, a typical reality-oriented language, denote different levels of the speaker’s volitive impact on the hearer.

description: This dissertation investigates the effects of different dietary phosphorus (P) intake on the endogenous mechanism of P homeostasis in a wide range of organs and tissues of pigs. The results suggests that the gene expression of transcellular P transporters is tissue-specific and that dietary interventions changes the gene expression levels of P transporters in relevant tissues to maintain P homeostasis in the animal. The results of this study also suggest that the variable P-containing diet may influence vitamin D metabolism in animals to maintain bone and mineral homeostasis.

description: Both direct and indirect methods of exoplanet detection rely upon detailed knowledge of the potential host stars. Such stellar characterization allows for accurate extraction of planetary properties, as well as contributing to our overall understanding of exoplanetary system architecture. In this analysis, we examine the photometry of 264 known exoplanet host stars (harboring 337 planetary companions) that were observed during the TESS Prime Mission. We identify periodic signatures in the light curves of these stars and make possible connections to stellar pulsations and their rotation periods, and compare the stellar variability to the published planetary orbital periods. From these comparisons, we quantify the effects of stellar variability on exoplanet detection, confirming that exoplanets detection is biased toward lower variability stars, but larger exoplanets dominate the population of exoplanets around variable stars. Exoplanet detection methods represented among these systems are distinct between stellar spectral types across the main sequence, though notable outliers exist. In addition, biases present in both the sourced data from TESS and the host star selection process, which strongly influences the representation of both stellar and planetary characteristics in the final populations. We also determine whether the host star's photometric variability affects or mimics the behavior or properties of the system's planets. These results are discussed in the context of how the behavior of the host star is responsible for how we observe exoplanet characteristics, most notably their radii and atmospheric properties, and how the activity may alter our measurements or impact the evolution of planetary properties.

description: Die Doktorarbeit untersuchte periodische Beinbewegungen im Schlaf (PLMS). PLMS finden sich unter anderem bei Patienten mit einem idiopathischen Parkinson-Syndrom (IPS). Da sowohl die PLMS als auch die motorischen Symptome der IPS-Patienten auf eine dopaminerge Therapie ansprechen, lässt eine gemeinsame Pathophysiologie vermuten. Im Rahmen der Dissertation wurde untersucht, ob PLMS beim idiopathischen Parkinson-Syndrom die gleiche Asymmetrie aufweisen wie die motorische Symptomatik. Die Arbeit soll somit dazu beitragen, die Relevanz und Pathophysiologie unilateraler PLMS besser zu verstehen.

description: Employees work in increasingly digital environments that enable advanced analytics. Yet, they lack oversight over the systems that process their data. That means that potential analysis errors or hidden biases are hard to uncover. Recent data protection legislation tries to tackle these issues, but it is inadequate. It does not prevent data misusage while at the same time stifling sensible use cases for data. We think the conflict between data protection and increasingly data-driven systems should be solved differently. When access to an employees' data is given, all usages should be made transparent to them, according to the concept of inverse transparency. This allows individuals to benefit from sensible data usage while addressing the potentially harmful consequences of data misusage. To accomplish this, we propose a new design approach for workforce analytics we refer to as inverse transparency by design. To understand the developer and user perspectives on the proposal, we conduct two exploratory studies with students. First, we let small teams of developers implement analytics tools with inverse transparency by design to uncover how they judge the approach and how it materializes in their developed tools. We find that architectural changes are made without inhibiting core functionality. The developers consider our approach valuable and technically feasible. Second, we conduct a user study over three months to let participants experience the provided inverse transparency and reflect on their experience. The study models a software development workplace where most work processes are already digital. Participants perceive the transparency as beneficial and feel empowered by it. They unanimously agree that it would be an improvement for the workplace. We conclude that inverse transparency by design is a promising approach to realize accepted and responsible people analytics.

description: Websites are used regularly in our day-today lives, yet research has shown that it is challenging for many users to use them securely, e.g., most prominently due to weak passwords through which they access their accounts. At the same time, many services employ low-security measures, making their users even more prone to account compromises with little to no means of remediating compromised accounts. Additionally, remediating compromised accounts requires users to complete a series of steps, ideally all provided and explained by the service. However, for U.S.-based websites, prior research has shown that the advice provided by many services is often incomplete. To further understand the underlying issue and its implications, this paper reports on a study that analyzes the account remediation procedure covering the 50 most popular websites in 30 countries, 6 each in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. We conducted the first transcontinental analysis on the account remediation protocols of popular websites. The analysis is based on 5 steps websites need to provide advice for: compromise discovery, account recovery, access limitation, service restoration, and prevention. We find that the lack of advice prior work identified for websites from the U.S. also holds across continents, with the presence ranging from 37% to 77% on average. Additionally, we identified considerable differences when comparing countries and continents, with countries in Africa and Oceania significantly more affected by the lack of advice. To address this, we suggest providing publicly available and easy-to-follow remediation advice for users and guidance for website providers so they can provide all the necessary information.

description: Patients without chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) have robust B cell reconstitution and are able to maintain B cell homeostasis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To determine whether B lymphopoiesis differs before cGVHD develops, we examined bone marrow (BM) biopsies for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and PAX5 immunostaining early post-HSCTat day 30 when all patients have been shown to have high B cell activating factor (BAFF) levels. We found significantly greater numbers of BM B cell precursors in patients who did not develop cGVHD compared with those who developed cGVHD (median = 44 vs 2 cells/high powered field [hpf]; respectively; P < .001). Importantly, a significant increase in precursor B cells was maintained when patients receiving high-dose steroid therapy were excluded (median = 49 vs 20 cells/hpf; P =.017). Thus, we demonstrate the association of BM B cell production capacity in human GVHD development. Increased BM precursor B cell number may serve to predict good clinical outcome after HSCT.

description: We identify cosmic voids from galaxy density fields under the theory of void-cluster correspondence. We extend the previous novel void-identification method developed for the matter density field to the galaxy density field for practical applications. From cosmological N-body simulations, we construct galaxy number- and mass-weighted density fields to identify cosmic voids that are counterparts of galaxy clusters of specific mass. The parameters for the cluster-counterpart void identification such as Gaussian smoothing scale, density threshold, and core volume fraction are found for galaxy density fields. We achieve about $60$--$67\%$ of completeness and reliability for identifying the voids of corresponding cluster mass above $3\times10^{14}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$ from a galaxy sample with the mean number density, $\bar{n}=4.4\times10^{-3} (h^{-1}{\rm Mpc})^{-3}$. When the mean density is increased to $\bar{n}=10^{-2} (h^{-1}{\rm Mpc})^{-3}$, the detection rate is enhanced by $\sim2$--$7\%$ depending on the `mass scale' of voids. We find that the detectability is insensitive to the density weighting scheme applied to generate the density field. Our result demonstrates that we can apply this method to the galaxy redshift survey data to identify cosmic voids corresponding statistically to the galaxy clusters in a given mass range.

description: Making data FAIR requires not only trusted repositories but also trusted workflows between data providers and infrastructure providers. Limited data access, unintentional and unnoticed data changes or even (overlooked) data loss pose great challenges to those involved. This incubator project aims to mitigate these challenges by exploring an easy-to-use data management service for researchers based on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), an emerging distributed web technology, which ensures data authenticity and fault-tolerant remote access. Based on a transferable prototypical implementation to be built within the DKRZ infrastructure, the suitability of the IPFS for a distributed and secure "web" for research data is being examined.

description: We report the formation and observation of an electron liquid in Sr$_{2-x}$La$_{x}$TiO$_4$, the quasi-two-dimensional counterpart of SrTiO$_3$, through reactive molecular-beam epitaxy and {\it in situ} angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The lowest lying states are found to be comprised of Ti 3$d_{xy}$ orbitals, analogous to the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface and exhibit unusually broad features characterized by quantized energy levels and a reduced Luttinger volume. Using model calculations, we explain these characteristics through an interplay of disorder and electron-phonon coupling acting co-operatively at similar energy scales, which provides a possible mechanism for explaining the low free carrier concentrations observed at various oxide heterostructures such as the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface.

description: Consider the Weierstrass family of elliptic curves $E_λ:y^2=x^3+λ$ parametrized by nonzero $λ\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}_2}$, and let $P_λ(x)=(x,\sqrt{x^3+λ})\in E_λ$. In this article, given $α,β\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}_2}$ such that $\fracαβ\in\mathbb{Q}$, we provide an explicit description for the set of parameters $λ$ such that $P_λ(α)$ and $P_λ(β)$ are simultaneously torsion for $E_λ$. In particular we prove that the aforementioned set is empty unless $\fracαβ\in\{-2,-\frac{1}{2}\}$. Furthermore, we show that this set is empty even when $\fracαβ\notin\mathbb{Q}$ provided that $α$ and $β$ have distinct $2-$adic absolute values and the ramification index $e(\mathbb{Q}_2(\fracαβ)~\vert~\mathbb{Q}_2)$ is coprime with $6$. We also improve upon a recent result of Stoll concerning the Legendre family of elliptic curves $E_λ:y^2=x(x-1)(x-λ)$, which itself strengthened earlier work of Masser and Zannier by establishing that provided $a,b$ have distinct reduction modulo $2$, the set $\{λ\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0,1\}~:~(a,\sqrt{a(a-1)(a-λ)}),(b,\sqrt{b(b-1)(b-λ)})\in (E_λ)_{tors}\}$ is empty.
