description: Starting from the multi-local Klein-Gordon equations with Lorentz-scalar squared-mass operator we give a covariant quark representation of the general composite mesons and baryons with definite Lorentz transformation property. The mass spectra satisfy the approximate symmetry under the tilde U(4) transformation group, including the chiral transformation as a subgroup, concerning the spinor freedom of light constituent quarks, and this symmetry predicts the existence of new type of chiral mesons and baryons out of the conventional framework in non-relativistic quark model: For example, for light qqbar systems, the scalar sigma- and axial-vector a_1-nonets, and for heavy-light Qqbar and qQbar systems the scalar and axial-vector mesons are predicted to exist as relativistic S-wave states besides the ordinary P-wave state mesons. The existence of two ``exotic'' 1^-+ meson nonets is predicted as the relativistic P-wave states in qqbar systems. For light quark baryons the extra 56 with positive parity and the extra 70 with negative parity of the static SU(6) are predicted to exist as the ground state chiral particles.

description: Tribe Rhinoleptini Hedges, Adalsteinsson, & Branch, New Tribe   Type genus. Rhinoleptus Orejas-Miranda, Roux-Estève, and Guibé, 1970: 4.
 Diagnosis. Members of Rhinoleptini are the only species of the Epictinae that occur in the Old World. They can usually be distinguished from the Tribe Epictini by possession of a small anterior supralabial scale (usually medium or large in Epictini). One species of Rhinoleptini (Guinea sundewalli) has a large anterior supralabial and two species out of 56 in Epictini (Siagonodon cupinensis and Rena unguirostris) have small anterior supralabials (Table 2). The support for this group was 52% BP and 64% PP for the four-gene tree (Fig. 3) and 87% BP and 100% PP for the nine-gene tree (Fig. 4).
 Content. Two genera and six species (Table 1; Fig. 9).
 Distribution. Rhinoleptini is distributed in equatorial Africa, from southern Senegal, Guinea, and Bioko Island in the west to Ethiopia in the east.
 Remarks. Rhinoleptini is a primarily West African clade of leptotyphlopids and comprises the Old World members of the Subfamily Epictinae.

description: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FOXD3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3-AS1) has been reported to participate in multiple processes that contribute toward the development of cancer. The present study aimed to explore the effect of lncRNA FOXD3-AS1 on anti-estrogen resistance in breast cancer (BC) cells. FOXD3-AS1 was found to be highly expressed in BC cell lines. Moreover, FOXD3-AS1 was highly expressed in estrogen receptor-negative (ER−) cells compared to the ER-positive (ER+) cells. FOXD3-AS1 overexpression in T47D and MCF-7 (ER+) cells enhanced the resistance of cells to tamoxifen (TMX), whereas FOX3-AS1 downregulation reduced the TMX resistance in MDA-MB-231 (ER−) cells. Similar results were reproduced in vivo that FOXD3-AS1 inhibition reduced the growth of xenograft tumors formed by MDA-MB-231 cells following TMX treatment whereas FOXD3-AS1 overexpression in T47D cells facilitated tumor growth. The bioinformatic analysis and luciferase assays indicated that FOXD3-AS1 sponged microRNA-363 (miR-363) to restore expression of trefoil factor 1 (TFF1) mRNA. Overexpression of miR-363 reduced T47D cell proliferation induced by FOXD3-AS1, whereas overexpression of TFF1 restored growth of MDA-MB-231 cells reduced after FOXD3-AS1 silencing. The phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) was increased by FOXD3-AS1 but attenuated by miR-363. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt blocked the role of FOXD3-AS1 and reduced the TMX resistance in T47D and MCF-7 cells. Taken together, the present study suggested that FOXD3-AS1 sponges miR-363 to upregulate TFF1 expression, leading to PI3K/Akt signaling activation and anti-estrogen resistance in BC cells.

description: Studies based on Hubble Space Telescope ($HST$) photometry in F275W, F336W, and F438W have shown that the incidence and complexity of multiple populations (MPs) in Globular Clusters (GCs) depend on cluster mass. This result, however, is based on nearby, low-reddening Galactic GCs, for which we can obtain accurate F275W photometry. In this work we exploit $HST$ photometry in F336W, F438W, and F814W to characterize MPs in 68 Galactic and extragalactic GCs by using the pseudo-color $C_{F336W,F438W,F814W}$, which is more efficient in terms of observation time than the pseudo-color $C_{F275W,F336W,F438W}$ adopted in previous works. We first analyzed the Galactic GCs alone and find that the RGB color width strongly correlates with [Fe/H]. After removing the dependence from metallicity, we obtain a strong correlation with cluster mass, thus confirming previous findings. We then exploited the RGB width to compare MPs in Galactic and extragalactic GCs. Similarly to Galactic GCs, the RGB width of Magellanic Cloud GCs correlates with clusters mass, after removing the dependence from metallicity. This fact demonstrates that cluster mass is the main factor affecting the properties of MPs. Magellanic Cloud clusters exhibit, on average, narrower RGBs than Galactic GCs with similar mass and metallicity. We suggest that this difference is a signature of stellar mass loss in Galactic GCs. As an alternative, the mass-RGB-width relation would depend on the host galaxy. Finally, we used ground-based photometry to investigate Terzan\,7 through the $C_{U,B,I}$ pseudo-color, ground-based analogous of $C_{F336W,F438W,F814W}$, and find that this cluster is consistent with a simple population.

description: Highly ordered nanotubes titanium dioxide (NTs-TiO2) array was fabricated and used as the support of Pt nanoparticles for the selective aqueous phase of glycerol (GLY) electrooxidation. The structure and morphology of the NTs-TiO2/Pt were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, etc. The electrooxidation GLY properties of NTs-TiO2/Pt were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and accelerated service life test. The results show that, compared with bulk Pt and nano-TiO2/Pt, the NTs-TiO2/Pt have the highest service life and electrooxidation activity and selection for GLY. At the reaction condition of 1.2 V potential, the NTs-TiO2/Pt catalyst afforded 67.1% selectivity for the glyceric acid.

description: BACKGROUND: Serum antibodies against myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein (MOG-IgG) are detectable in a proportion of patients with acute or relapsing neuroinflammation. It is unclear, if neuro-axonal damage occurs only in an attack-dependent manner or also progressively. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate longitudinally intra-retinal layer changes in eyes without new optic neuritis (ON) in MOG-IgG-seropositive patients. METHODS: We included 38 eyes of 24 patients without ON during follow-up (F/U) [median years (IQR)] 1.9 (1.0-2.2) and 56 eyes of 28 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). The patient group's eyes included 18 eyes without (EyeON-) and 20 eyes with history of ON (EyeON+). Using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), we acquired peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (pRNFL) and volumes of combined ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCIP), inner nuclear layer (INL), and macular volume (MV). High-contrast visual acuity (VA) was assessed at baseline. RESULTS: At baseline in EyeON-, pRNFL (94.3 ± 15.9 μm, p = 0.36), INL (0.26 ± 0.03 mm3, p = 0.11), and MV (2.34 ± 0.11 mm3, p = 0.29) were not reduced compared to HC; GCIP showed thinning (0.57 ± 0.07 mm3; p = 0.008), and VA was reduced (logMAR 0.05 ± 0.15 vs. - 0.09 ± 0.14, p = 0.008) in comparison to HC. Longitudinally, we observed pRNFL thinning in models including all patient eyes (annual reduction - 2.20 ± 4.29 μm vs. - 0.35 ± 1.17 μm, p = 0.009) in comparison to HC. Twelve EyeON- with other than ipsilateral ON attacks ≤ 6 months before baseline showed thicker pRNFL at baseline and more severe pRNFL thinning in comparison to 6 EyeON- without other clinical relapses. CONCLUSIONS: We observed pRNFL thinning in patients with MOG-IgG during F/U, which was not accompanied by progressive GCIP reduction. This effect could be caused by a small number of EyeON- with other than ipsilateral ON attacks within 6 months before baseline. One possible interpretation could be a reduction of the swelling, which could mean that MOG-IgG patients show immune-related swelling in the CNS also outside of an attack's target area.

description: Hypertension is ranked as the third cause of disability-adjusted life-years. The percentage of the population suffering from hypertension will continue to increase over the next years. Renovascular disease is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. Vascular changes seen in hypertension are partially based on dysfunctional calcium signaling. This signaling can be studied using calcium indicators (loading dyes and genetically encoded calcium indicators; GECIs). Most progress in development has been seen in GECIs, which are used in an increasing number of publications concerning calcium signaling in vasculature and the kidney. The use of transgenic mouse models expressing GECIs will facilitate new possibilities to study dysfunctional calcium signaling in a cell type-specific manner, thus helping to identify more specific targets for treatment of (renal) hypertension.

description: The evolutionary history of organisms with poor dispersal abilities usually parallels geological events. Collisions of the Indian and Arabian plates with Eurasia greatly changed Asian topography and affected regional and global climate as well as biotic evolution. However, the geological evolution of Asia related to these two collisions remains debated. Here, we used Eranthis, an angiosperm genus with poor seed dispersal ability and a discontinuous distribution across Eurasia, to shed light on the orogenesis of the Qinghai–Tibetan, Iranian and Mongolian Plateaus. Our phylogenetic analyses show that Eranthis comprises four major geographical clades: east Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau clade (I-1), North Asian clade (I-2), west Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau clade (II-1) and Mediterranean clade (II-2). Our molecular dating and biogeographic analyses indicate that within Eranthis, four vicariance events well correlate with the two early uplifts of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau during the Late Eocene and the Oligocene–Miocene boundary and the two uplifts of the Iranian Plateau during the Middle and Late Miocene. The origin and divergence of the Mongolian Plateau taxa are related to the two uplifts of the Mongolian Plateau during the Middle and Late Miocene. Additionally, our results are in agreement with the hypothesis that the central part of Tibet only reached an altitude of less than 2.3 km at approximately 40 Ma. This study highlights that organismal evolution could be related to the formation of the three great Asian plateaus, hence contributing to the knowledge on the timing of the key tectonic events in Asia.

description: Background: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of periprosthetic tissue culture in blood culture bottles (BCB) for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were systematically searched for eligible studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of periprosthetic tissue culture in BCB for the diagnosis of PJI. The pooled data were analysed by Meta-Disc software. Results: Four studies with a total of 1071 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The summarized estimates showed that periprosthetic tissue culture in BCB may be of great value in PJI diagnosis with a pooled sensitivity of 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.66–0.75), specificity of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95–0.98); positive likelihood ratio (PLR) of 20.98 (95% CI: 11.52–38.2); negative likelihood ratio (NLR) of 0.28 (95% CI: 0.20–0.40); and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of 92.26 (95% CI: 43.93–193.78). Conclusions: The present meta-analysis showed that periprosthetic tissue in BCB improves the results of microorganism cultures, with a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 97%. However, more large-scale, well-performed studies are needed to verify our findings.

description: Many of the agricultural input subsidy programs (ISPs) currently being implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa include among their objectives raising farm incomes and reducing rural poverty. However, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the extent to which ISPs are achieving these objectives. Moreover, results from previous studies on ISPs in Zambia and Malawi, and stubbornly high rural poverty rates in both countries despite many years of large-scale ISPs, have raised doubts that ISPs are effectively reducing poverty.

description: We present an event generator that describes the Higgs boson decay into $b$-quarks at next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) in QCD and allows for a consistent matching to parton shower. For this purpose, we work within the POWHEG framework and employ the MINLO method to produce an NNLO-accurate H$\to\! b\bar{b}$ event sample which can further be interfaced with a generic Higgs boson production mode. The resulting events, that combine Higgs production and decay, can be matched to parton shower by means of a vetoed shower. As an example, we present a short phenomenological study for associated Higgs production (HZ) and vector boson fusion (VBF) processes. We release the source code that was used to obtain these results as an $\text{h_bbg}$ user process in POWHEG-BOX-V2. We also provide tools that enable interfacing the decay events with events for an arbitrary Higgs production mode and subsequent matching of the combined Les Houches (LH) events with a parton shower.

Few changes: improved few sentences throughout the paper, added references, added 1 plot in section 2.1, added 2 plots (1 figure) in section 4.2, removed fixed-order results from HZ plots, added one appendix.

description: The development of improved agricultural technologies has tremendous potential for improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Conservation agriculture (CA) has been widely promoted to improve farmers’ productivity and decrease their vulnerability to climate change. However, the benefits and challenges associated with reducing tillage vary by soil type and rainfall regime and the different minimum tillage technologies (basins, jab-planters, ox-drawn rippers, and tractor rippers) have unique labor, knowledge and financial requirements for effective use. Due to the complexity of both the livelihood strategies of resource-poor farmers and of their agro-ecological conditions, widespread adoption of any one form of CA is unlikely.

For donor PBMCs, the equivalent of 10 cells (RNA) was added to each reaction as a negative control. Two standards were used to assess the sensitivity of each HIV assay: a synthetic multiply-spliced HIV RNA standard (which contains TAR, LongLTR, Nef, PolyA, and Tat-Rev but not Gag or Pol) and an HIV virion RNA standard (which contains TAR, LongLTR, Gag, Pol, Nef, and PolyA, but much lower levels of Tat-Rev). Both standards were added to each independent Biomark assay at 5, 10, 50 and 500 copies. All assays except PolyA could be detected down to 5 copies, but PolyA was less efficient than the other HIV assays in this platform.

description: Realization of the conformal higher spin symmetry on the 4d massless field supermultiplets is given. The self-conjugated supermultiplets, including the linearized ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory, are considered in some detail. Duality between non-unitary field-theoretical representations and the unitary doubleton--type representations of the 4d conformal algebra $su(2,2)$ is formulated in terms of a Bogolyubov transform. The set of 4d massless fields of all spins is shown to form a representation of $sp(8)$. The obtained results are extended to the generalized superspace invariant under $osp(L, 2M)$ supersymmetries. World line particle interpretation of the free higher spin theories in the $osp(2\N, 2M)$ invariant (super)space is given. Compatible with unitarity free equations of motion in the $osp(L,2M)$ invariant (super)space are formulated. A conjecture on the chain of $AdS_{d+1}/CFT_d \to AdS_{d}/CFT_{d-1} \to ...$ dualities in the higher spin gauge theories is proposed.

The first two coefficients of the asymptotic expansion are computed explicitly.

description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) greatly increases the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, molecular mechanisms underlying CKD-induced arterial remodeling are largely unknown. We performed a systematic analysis of arterial biopsies from children with stage 5 predialysis CKD participating in the Cardiovascular Comorbidity in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease (4 C) study. For comparison, we studied biopsies from children without CKD, coronary bypass vessels from adults with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease without CKD and aortic sections of subtotally nephrectomized rats. In pediatric CKD patients, gene expression was correlated to the cardiovascular phenotype assessed by surrogate end-points. The arterial calcium content correlated with the intima-media thickness (IMT) of biopsied vessels from pediatric CKD patients, was markedly increased compared to biopsies from children without CKD and comparable to adult coronary bypass patients. Significant transcriptional changes included ECM components, pro-calcifying factors, and physiological calcification inhibitors; most were highly accordant with changes observed in adults with atherosclerosis and in uremic rats. Individual gene expression levels were significantly associated with the left ventricular mass index and carotid intima media thickness. Thus, inflammatory processes (TNF, IL-10), calcification inhibitors (CA2), the Wnt-pathway (FGF-2) and foremost, ECM components (HMGA1, VNN1, VCAN), impact pathobiological responses in arteries from children with CKD.

description: Two-mode cavities can be prepared in quantum states which represent symmetric multi-qubit states. However, the qubits are impossible to address individually and as such cannot be independently measured or otherwise manipulated. We propose two related schemes to coherently transfer the qubits which the cavity state represents onto individual atoms, so that the qubits can then be processed individually. In particular, our scheme can be combined with the quantum cloning scheme of Simon and coworkers [C. Simon et al, PRL 84, 2993 (2000)] to allow the optimal clones which their scheme produces to be spatially separated and individually utilized.

description: In this paper we present a comprehensive analysis of the exclusive heavy quark photoproduction in $pp$, $pPb$ and $PbPb$ collisions at LHC and FCC energies using the color dipole formalism and taking into account of nonlinear corrections to the QCD dynamics. We estimate the rapidity distributions and cross sections for the charm and bottom production considering three phenomenological models for the dipole-proton scattering amplitude that are able to describe the $ep$ HERA data. Our results indicate that a future experimental analysis of this process is feasible, which will allow us to improve our understanding of the QCD dynamics.

description: Rural land titling has stronger impacts on farm investments for female title-holders than for male title-holders. This effect is particularly pronounced for investments which are less capital-intensive. The gendered impacts of smallholder ownership of land titles may have to do with systematic differences in tenure security under traditional systems. Policies and programmes aimed at encouraging female access to land titles can improve the economic impact of agricultural land titling through increases in productivity and land productivity enhancing investments.

description: Subfamily Leptotyphlopinae   Type genus. Leptotyphlops Fitzinger, 1843: 24.
 Diagnosis. Members of Leptotyphlopinae usually have long, thin tails, with high subcaudal counts: relative tail length is 4.1–18.9 % total length versus 2.1–11.5% in the Epictinae, tail shape is 3.2–11.7 versus 1.3–6.1, and subcaudals number 12–58 versus 6–30 in the Epictinae (Table 2; Fig. 5). All leptotyphlopids possessing more than two supralabials, more than 14 midbody scale rows, stripes, and bold colors (e.g., reds and yellows) are in the Epictinae rather than this subfamily. The support for this group was 100% BP and 100% PP for the four-gene tree (Fig. 3) and 100% BP and 100% PP for the nine-gene tree (Fig. 4).
 Content. Three tribes, four genera, and 54 species (Table 1; Figs. 9–10).
 Distribution. Leptotyphlopinae is distributed throughout Africa (north and south of the Sahara Desert) as well as on nearby islands (Bazaruto archipelago, Pemba, Manda, Lamu, and Socotra), the Arabian Peninsula, and in southwest Asia (Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and northwest India).
 Remarks. We divide this subfamily into three tribes. Two are well-defined, include 51 of the 54 species, and correspond to the former longicaudus Group of " Leptotyphlops " on one hand (a primarily northeast Africa-Arabia clade) and the former nigricans, rostratus, and scutifrons groups of " Leptotyphlops " on the other hand (a primarily southern African clade). The remaining three species, corresponding to the former reticulatus Group of " Leptotyphlops," are placed here in a third tribe (A primarily East African clade); no molecular data were available for this tribe. A few characters previously used to define species groups, such as the fusion of skull bones and of the frontal and rostral scales (Broadley & Wallach 2007), show homoplasy among the genera of Leptotyphlopinae recognized here and therefore are excluded from diagnoses of taxa. Nonetheless combinations of those characters may still prove to be diagnostic for restricted clades of species. Hedges (2008) noted that Old World species of Leptotyphlops have a more pronounced sexual dimorphism in body size, averaging ~1.3 (total length of average adult female/total length of average adult male), compared with New World species (~1.1). However, data are available for only nine species of New World Epictinae and three species of Leptotyphlopinae (Bailey 1946; Zug 1977; Thomas et al. 1985; Broadley 1996; Webb et al. 2000; Passos et al. 2005, 2006), and therefore more sampling is needed before this trend can be considered diagnostic of the two subfamilies.

description: BACKGROUND: Core outcome sets (COS) are being developed in many clinical areas to increase the quality and comparability of clinical trial results as well as to ensure their relevance for patients. A COS represents an agreed standardized set of outcomes that describes the minimum that should be consistently reported in all clinical trials of a defined area. It comprises a core domain set (defining what core outcomes should be measured) and a core measurement set (defining measurement/assessment instruments for each core domain). For pressure ulcer prevention trials a COS is lacking. The great heterogeneity of reported outcomes in this field indicates the need for a COS. METHODS/DESIGN: The first part of this project aims to develop a core domain set by following established methods, which incorporates four steps: (1) definition of the scope, (2) conducting a scoping review, (3) organizing facilitated workshops with service users, (4) performing Delphi surveys and establishing consensus in a face-to-face meeting with different stakeholders. DISCUSSION: After achieving consensus on the core domain set, further work will be undertaken to determine a corresponding core measurement set. This will lead to better pressure ulcer prevention research in the future. There are a number of methodological challenges in the field of COS development. To meet these challenges and to ensure a high-quality COS, the OUTPUTS project affiliates to current standards and works in close collaboration with international experts and with existing international service user groups. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The OUTPUTs project is registered in the COMET database: ( http://www.comet-initiative.org/studies/details/283 ). Registered on 2015.
Dynamics of incoherent exciton formation in Cu$_2$O: Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

description: We study dynamics of incoherent exciton formation under interband photoexcitation in Cu$_2$O using time-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy at 90 K. Hot electrons injected by allowed optical transitions with 3.40-eV photons show ultrafast relaxation to the conduction-band minimum (CBM), surviving up to 500 fs after excitation. While hot-electron states with high excess energy show a rapid population decay of ~25 fs, an abrupt increase to 130 fs is observed for states with excess energies of 0.15 eV. This latter is interpreted in terms of phonon bottleneck dynamics characteristic of LO-phonon mediated energy relaxation. Excitons, having a small binding energy of 60 meV, are formed below the CBM quasi-instantaneously and subsequently relax to the 1S-exciton state of the yellow series within 1.5 ps. We find that, together with possible plasma screening for electron-hole interaction, the cooling of exciton center-of-mass motion plays an important role in the exciton relaxation dynamics. The characteristic features of exciton photoionization process are critically discussed based on the detailed analysis of angle-resolved photoemission results for the 1S excitons formed 1.5 ps after excitation.

description: Several states have a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and allow for biomass co-firing to meet the RPS requirements. In addition, a federal renewable fuel standard (RFS) mandates an increase in cellulosic ethanol production over the next decade. This paper quantifies the effects on local biomass supply and demand of different co-firing policies imposed on 398 existing coal-fired power plants. Our model indicates which counties are most likely to be able to sustain cellulosic ethanol plants in addition to co-firing electric utilities. The simulation incorporates the county-level biomass market of corn stover, wheat straw, switchgrass, and forest residues as well as endogenous crop prices. Our scenarios indicate that there is sufficient feedstock availability in Southern Minnesota, Iowa, and Central Illinois. Significant supply shortages are observed in Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and the tri-state area of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky which are characterized by a high density of coal-fired power plants with high energy output.

description: Recently we have proposed a new level-classification scheme of hadrons with a manifestly covariant framework. In this scheme the requirement of chiral symmetry on the light quark leads to a prediction of existence of new type of scalars X_B, X_D and axial-vectors X_B^*,X_D^* as the chiral partners of ground state pseudoscalar B,D and vector B^*,D^* mesons, respectively. They belong to ``relativistic S-wave states,'' and are discriminated from the conventional P-wave mesons with j_q=1/2 appearing in the heavy quark effective theory. In this talk we examine the properties of these chiral mesons: The mass-splittings between the respective chiral partners are predicted to be equal, and the decay widths of one pion emission of X_B, X_D, X_B^* and X_D^* are to take the same value due to both chiral and heavy quark symmetries. Some experimental indications for existence of X_B and X_D^* are also given, which are consistent with the above prediction.

description: We analyze neutral atom Rydberg $C_Z$ gates based on adiabatic pulses applied symmetrically to both atoms. Analysis with smooth pulse shapes and Cs atom parameters predicts the gates can create Bell states with fidelity ${\mathcal F}>0.999$ using adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) pulses. With globally optimized adiabatic pulse shapes, in a two-photon excitation process, we generate Bell states with fidelity ${\mathcal F}=0.997$. The analysis fully accounts for spontaneous emission from intermediate and Rydberg states, including the Rydberg lifetime in a room temperature environment, but does not include errors arising from laser noise. The gate protocols do not require individual addressing and are shown to be robust against Doppler shifts due to atomic motion.
