description: Optical lattices have emerged as ideal simulators for Hubbard models of strongly correlated materials, such as the high-temperature superconducting cuprates. In optical lattice experiments, microscopic parameters such as the interaction strength between particles are well known and easily tunable. Unfortunately, this benefit of using optical lattices to study Hubbard models come with one clear disadvantage: the energy scales in atomic systems are typically nanoKelvin compared with Kelvin in solids, with a correspondingly miniscule temperature scale required to observe exotic phases such as d-wave superconductivity. The ultra-low temperatures necessary to reach the regime in which optical lattice simulation can have an impact-the domain in which our theoretical understanding fails-have been a barrier to progress in this field. To move forward, a concerted effort to develop new techniques for cooling and, by extension, techniques to measure even lower temperatures. This article will be devoted to discussing the concepts of cooling and thermometry, fundamental sources of heat in optical lattice experiments, and a review of proposed and implemented thermometry and cooling techniques.

Value of Other Endovascular Techniques Among Patients with MERCI Device Failure during the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke: What to do when MERCI fails?
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background: The MERCI Retrieval system (Concentric Medical, Mountain View, CA) was the first FDA -approved device for mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. It remains one of the most commonly used devices today despite its failure to restore blood flow in approximately 50% of the occlusions after technically successful deployment and retrieval. It remains unclear whether additional endovascular techniques or continued use of MERCI device can achieve recanalization post- MERCI failure. Objective: To analyze the outcome of continued MERCI retriever use compared with other endovascular techniques after initial failure. Methods: Failure of MERCI retriever was defined by successful deployment and retrieval of MERCI across target occlusion without recanalization in a single pass.. Pre- and post- treatment cerebral angiogram was classified using the Qureshi Grading Scale (QGS). Recanalization was defined by a reduction in ≥ 1 QGS grade between pre- and post- treatment cerebral angiogram in the Qureshi Grading Scale (QGS).We ascertained and compared the angiographic and clinical results with continued use of MERCI retriever or other endovascular techniques in patients following MERCI failure. Results: A total of 40 patients (53% men) had MERCI retrieval in this cohort with a mean age (±standard deviation) of 66.8 years ± 16 years and a mean admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 16.8 ± 6.7. Of the 40 patients treated with MERCI retrieval, there were 26 patients with MERCI failure. In group 1, there were 11 patients who underwent continued MERCI use and group 2 consisted of 15 patients who underwent an alternate endovascular technique. There was no significant difference in age, risk factors, or outcomes between the groups. The rate of recanalization (82% versus 80%, p=1.0), asymptomatic intra cerebral hemorrhage (18% versus 13%, p =0.77) and favorable outcome at discharge (27% versus 20%, p =0.66) were similar amongst the two groups. Conclusions: Continued attempts using the MERCI device did not result in higher recanalization rates when compared to alternate endovascular treatment modalities following initial MERCI failure. Both techniques produced comparable rates of recanalization and favorable outcome

description: We study certain phase transitions of branching random walks (BRW) on Cayley graphs of free products. The aim of this paper is to compare the size and structural properties of the trace, i.e., the subgraph that consists of all edges and vertices that were visited by some particle, with those of the original Cayley graph. We investigate the phase when the growth parameter $λ$ is small enough such that the process survives but the trace is not the original graph. A first result is that the box-counting dimension of the boundary of the trace exists, is almost surely constant and equals the Hausdorff dimension which we denote by $Φ(λ)$. The main result states that the function $Φ(λ)$ has only one point of discontinuity which is at $λ_{c}=R$ where $R$ is the radius of convergence of the Green function of the underlying random walk. Furthermore, $Φ(R)$ is bounded by one half the Hausdorff dimension of the boundary of the original Cayley graph and the behaviour of $Φ(R)-Φ(λ)$ as $λ\uparrow R$ is classified. In the case of free products of infinite groups the end-boundary can be decomposed into words of finite and words of infinite length. We prove the existence of a phase transition such that if $λ\leq \tildeλ_{c}$ the end boundary of the trace consists only of infinite words and if $λ>\tildeλ_{c}$ it also contains finite words. In the last case, the Hausdorff dimension of the set of ends (of the trace and the original graph) induced by finite words is strictly smaller than the one of the ends induced by infinite words.

description: We calculate the spectral dimension for nonperturbative quantum gravity defined via Euclidean dynamical triangulations. We find that it runs from a value of ~3/2 at short distance to ~4 at large distance scales, similar to results from causal dynamical triangulations. We argue that the short distance value of 3/2 for the spectral dimension may resolve the tension between asymptotic safety and the holographic principle.

Computer-aided diagnosis of skin cancer with deep learning : addressing the challenges of practical applications
Creators: name: Wang, Yuheng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Skin disorders are among the most prevalent human diseases, affecting a vast population and posing a significant financial burden on the global healthcare system. Although early treatment may considerably improve the cure rate of skin disorders, limited access to dermatologists and a lack of training among other healthcare workers make early detection difficult. In recent years, deep learning has produced exceptional success in the computer-aided detection of skin disorders. However, some high-performance methods are challenging to practice in complex clinical scenarios because of uneven distribution of data categories, multiple data types with dimensional differences, and a lack of support from clinical experience. Therefore, people have begun to combine efficient algorithms with clinical knowledge to better utilize skin lesion information from multiple modalities in various application scenarios rather than chasing prediction accuracy. Herein, we investigate how to combine clinical expertise with sophisticated algorithms and integrate several common imaging modalities and demographic data to make deep learning more persuasive and acceptable in clinical applications. First, we used deep learning to incorporate clinical domain knowledge. By combining a deep feature extractor with a clinically restricted classifier chain, we offered a unique multi-modal framework for skin cancer diagnosis that mimicked one of the most widely used dermoscopy algorithms, the 7-point checklist. Then, using colour photos, symptom characteristics, and demographic data, we created a multi-modal content-based image retrieval system from an existing skin image database using similarity network fusion and deep community analysis. This research addressed the dimensional discrepancies when several data sources were fused. Then, we investigated the viability of utilizing deep learning in the clinic with limited resources. We proposed a new method for skin disease classification that unified diverse knowledge into a generic knowledge distillation framework. This method significantly improved the performance of lightweight models for portable embedded devices. Finally, considering the small sample size resulting from the high collection cost, we offered a framework based on the patching technique and decision level fusion that completely exploits the features of the polarisation speckle data set with a small number of samples, completing the application of deep learning on small-scale data sets.

description: We investigate quantum properties of pulsed light fields point by point in phase space. We probe the negative region of the Wigner function of a single photon generated by the means of waveguided parametric down-conversion. This capability is achieved by employing loss-tolerant photon-number resolving detection, allowing us to directly observe the oscillations of the photon statistics in dependence of applied displacements in phase space. Our scheme is highly mode sensitive and can reveal the single-mode character of the signal state.

description: We continue the investigation of two-loop string corrections to the energy of a folded string with a spin S in AdS_5 and an angular momentum J in S^5, in the scaling limit of large J and S with ell=pi J/(lambda^(1/2) ln S)=fixed. We compute the generalized scaling function at two-loop order f_2(ell) both for small and large values of ell matching the predictions based on the asymptotic Bethe ansatz. In particular, in the small ell expansion, we derive an exact integral form for the ell-dependent coefficient of the Catalan's constant term in f_2(ell). Also, by resumming a certain subclass of multi-loop Feynman diagrams we obtain an exact expression for the leading (ln ell) part of f(lambda^(1/2), ell) which is valid to any order in the alpha'~1/lambda^(1/2) expansion. At large ell the string energy has a BMN-like expansion and the first few leading coefficients are expected to be the same at weak and at strong coupling. We provide a new example of this non-renormalization for the term which is generated at two loops in string theory and at one-loop in gauge theory (sub-sub-leading in 1/J). We also derive a simple algebraic formula for the term of maximal transcendentality in f_2(ell) expanded at large ell. In the second part of the paper we initiate the study of 2-loop finite size corrections to the string energy by formally compactifying the spatial world-sheet direction in the string action expanded near long fast-spinning string. We observe that the leading finite-size corrections are of "Casimir" type coming from terms containing at least one massless propagator. We consider in detail the one-loop order (reproducing the leading Landau-Lifshitz model prediction) and then focus on the two-loop contributions to the (1/ln S) term (for J=0). We find that in a certain regularization scheme used to discard power divergences the two-loop coefficient of the (1/ln S) term appears to vanish.

description: The concept of a common modulated oscillation spanning multiple time series is formalized, a method for the recovery of such a signal from potentially noisy observations is proposed, and the time-varying bias properties of the recovery method are derived. The method, an extension of wavelet ridge analysis to the multivariate case, identifies the common oscillation by seeking, at each point in time, a frequency for which a bandpassed version of the signal obtains a local maximum in power. The lowest-order bias is shown to involve a quantity, termed the instantaneous curvature, which measures the strength of local quadratic modulation of the signal after demodulation by the common oscillation frequency. The bias can be made to be small if the analysis filter, or wavelet, can be chosen such that the signal's instantaneous curvature changes little over the filter time scale. An application is presented to the detection of vortex motions in a set of freely-drifting oceanographic instruments tracking the ocean currents.

description: We study the effects of electron screening on nuclear reaction rates occurring during the Big Bang nucleosynthesis epoch. The sensitivity of the predicted elemental abundances on electron screening is studied in details. It is shown that electron screening does not produce noticeable results in the abundances unless the traditional Debye-Hückel model for the treatment of electron screening in stellar environments is enhanced by several orders of magnitude. The present work rules out electron screening as a relevant ingredient to Big Bang nucleosynthesis and ruling out exotic possibilities for the treatment of screening, beyond the mean-field theoretical approach.

description: We develop a theory of the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetism (AFM) in CeCoIn5. We show that in Pauli-limited nodal superconductors the nesting of the quasi-particle pockets induced by Zeeman pair-breaking leads to incommensurate AFM with the moment normal to the field. We compute the phase diagram and find a first order transition to the normal state at low temperatures, absence of normal state AFM, and coexistence of SC and AFM at high fields, in agreement with experiments. We also predict the existence of a new double-Q magnetic phase.

description: We demonstrate that the tree-level amplitudes of maximal super-Yang-Mills theory in six dimensions, when stripped of their overall momentum and supermomentum delta functions, are covariant with respect to the six-dimensional dual conformal group. Using the generalized unitarity method, we demonstrate that this property is also present for loop amplitudes. Since the six-dimensional amplitudes can be interpreted as massive four-dimensional ones, this implies that the six-dimensional symmetry is also present in the massively regulated four-dimensional maximal super-Yang-Mills amplitudes.

description: Statins are highly used in cardiovascular prevention. Statin intolerance is the most significant cause of decreased adherence, translating into a higher cardiovascular risk. This systematic review aims to estimate the incidence of muscle adverse events in patients with a history of statin intolerance receiving placebo. Database search was performed in CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE until March 2023. This systematic review included blinded randomized control trials enrolling patients with a history of statin intolerance who received a placebo. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed. Results were presented in percentages, with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Overall, eight studies with 8095 patients with a history of statin intolerance receiving placebo were included. The muscle adverse events incidence rate was 21.34% (95% CI 13.26–30.63%, 8 studies), and discontinuation due to adverse muscle events was 6.12% (95% CI 1.22–13.70%, 3 studies). The incidence was higher in subcutaneous placebo/sham (41.67%, 1 study) compared to oral placebo studies (22.95%, 6 studies). In patients previously labeled as statin-intolerant, about a fifth of the patients exhibited muscle symptoms when receiving a placebo. This highlights the importance of ruling out non-statin-related symptoms to further optimize statin therapy for cardiovascular risk improvement.

description: We study the Kähler-Ricci flow on a class of projective bundles $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_Σ\oplus L)$ over compact Kähler-Einstein manifold $Σ^n$. Assuming the initial Kähler metric $ω_0$ admits a U(1)-invariant momentum profile, we give a criterion, characterized by the triple $(Σ, L, [ω_0])$, under which the $\mathbb{P}^1$-fiber collapses along the Kähler-Ricci flow and the projective bundle converges to $Σ$ in Gromov-Hausdorff sense. Furthermore, the Kähler-Ricci flow must have Type I singularity and is of $(\C^n \times \mathbb{P}^1)$-type. This generalizes and extends part of Song-Weinkove's work \cite{SgWk09} on Hirzebruch surfaces.

description: We introduce an optimum principle for a vehicular traffic network with road bottlenecks. This network breakdown minimization (BM) principle states that the network optimum is reached, when link flow rates are assigned in the network in such a way that the probability for spontaneous occurrence of traffic breakdown at one of the network bottlenecks during a given observation time reaches the minimum possible value. Based on numerical simulations with a stochastic three-phase traffic flow model, we show that in comparison to the well-known Wardrop's principles the application of the BM principle permits considerably greater network inflow rates at which no traffic breakdown occurs and, therefore, free flow remains in the whole network.

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) cannot be considered an isolated disease. Patients with AF should be managed using a comprehensive approach that is not limited to stroke prevention. In this manuscript, the potential role of AF as a vascular disease that is managed as part of a holistic approach was reviewed. The residual risk of stroke in patients with AF reaches 1–2% annually, despite appropriate anticoagulation therapy. Additionally, patients with AF may develop cognitive impairment through stroke-independent pathways. Furthermore, patients with AF may have a higher risk of developing atherosclerotic vascular disease in various vascular beds and chronic kidney disease; conversely, patients with atherosclerotic disease may have an increased risk of developing AF. AF should be considered a truly systemic vascular disease, since it brings together several hemodynamic and systemic changes, including inflammation, oxidative stress, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and sympathetic systems, as well as a prothrombotic state and endothelial dysfunction. In this regard, patients with AF should be treated based on a holistic approach that is not limited to oral anticoagulation but includes complete vascular protection.

description: We examine the temperature dependence of thermopower in the single band Hubbard model using dynamical mean-field theory. The strong Coulomb interaction brings about the coherent-to-incoherent crossover as temperature increases. As a result, the thermopower exhibits non-monotonic temperature dependence and asymptotically approaches values given by the Mott-Heikes formula. In the light of our theoretical result, we discuss the thermopower in some transition metal oxides. The magnetic field dependence of the thermopower is also discussed.

description: We apply novel jet techniques to investigate the spin and CP quantum numbers of a heavy resonance X, singly produced in pp -> X -> ZZ -> l(+)l(-)jj at the LHC. We take into account all dominant background processes to show that this channel, which has been considered unobservable until now, can qualify under realistic conditions to supplement measurements of the purely leptonic decay channels X -> ZZ -> 4l. We perform a detailed investigation of spin- and CP-sensitive angular observables on the fully-simulated final state for various spin and CP quantum numbers of the state X, tracing how potential sensitivity communicates through all the steps of a subjet analysis. This allows us to elaborate on the prospects and limitations of performing such measurements with the semihadronic final state. We find our analysis particularly sensitive to a CP-even or CP-odd scalar resonance, while, for tensorial and vectorial resonances, discriminative features are diminished in the boosted kinematical regime.

description: Cryogenic cluster beam experiments have provided crucial insights into the evolution of the metallic state from the atom to the bulk. Surprisingly, one of the most fundamental metallic properties, the ability of a metal to efficiently screen electric fields, is still poorly understood in small clusters. Theory has predicted that many small Na clusters are unable to screen charge inhomogeneities and thus have permanent dipole moments. High precision electric deflection experiments on cryogenically cooled Na$_N$ ($N<200$) clusters show that the electric dipole moments are at least an order of magnitude smaller than predicted, and are consistent with zero, as expected for a metal. The polarizabilities of Na clusters also show metal spheroid behavior, with fine size oscillations caused by the shell structure.

description: We show that double inflation is naturally realized in Kähler moduli inflation, which is caused by moduli associated with string compactification. We find that there is a small coupling between the two inflatons which leads to amplification of perturbations through parametric resonance in the intermediate stage of double inflation. This results in the appearance of a peak in the power spectrum of the primordial curvature perturbation. We numerically calculate the power spectrum and show that the power spectrum can have a peak on observationally interesing scales. We also compute the TT-spectrum of CMB based on the power spectrum with a peak and see that it better fits WMAP 7-years data.

description: Having pure samples of quark and gluon jets would greatly facilitate the study of jet properties and substructure, with many potential standard model and new physics applications. To this end, we consider multijet and jets+X samples, to determine the purity that can be achieved by simple kinematic cuts leaving reasonable production cross sections. We find, for example, that at the 7 TeV LHC, the pp {\to} γ+2jets sample can provide 98% pure quark jets with 200 GeV of transverse momentum and a cross section of 5 pb. To get 10 pb of 200 GeV jets with 90% gluon purity, the pp {\to} 3jets sample can be used. b+2jets is also useful for gluons, but only if the b-tagging is very efficient.

Cicero’s De officiis in Humanist School Instruction – The Philologus Incomparabilis Hieronymus Wolf and His Great Commentary (1563)
Creators: name: Ludwig, Walther
Publisher: name: Ciceroniana on line
Year: 2021

description: Hieronymus Wolf (1516-1580), Rector of the Gymnasium at Augsburg, was one of the most prominent Classicists of the 16th century. Cicero’s De officiis was regarded at Wolf’s time as the best Latin book on moral philosophy. Wolf read that text with his students, commented on it, and published an edition with commentary at Basel 1563. The great commentary differs essentially from the usual philological commentaries: not only does it offer literary and structural explanations, but it also analyzes the morality of Cicero’s statements, and instructs its readers to act accordingly. Thus, it is a revealing document of humanist school instruction. The paper shows this commentary’s context and peculiarities in general, and also by a catalogue of specific examples.

Cicero in the Encyclopaedia of Giorgio Valla
Creators: name: Raschieri, Amedeo
Publisher: name: Ciceroniana on line
Year: 2021

description: Cicero has been a fundamental reference point for school education and the system of artes liberales, especially for rhetoric and philosophy, from ancient times to the Renaissance. I intend to focus my attention on the Venetian environment in the second half of the 15th century and, in particular, on Giorgio Valla. This humanist was trained in the Milanese area but carried out his teaching activity in Venice for an extended period. He distinguished himself through his literary and scientific interests, but, above all, through his encyclopaedic conception of knowledge. First, I provide some details about Giorgio Valla’s life, his activity as a translator and publisher of Greek scientific works, and his library. Second, I analyse his interest in Cicero and Greek rhetoric, and his commentaries on Cicero’s works: De fato, Topica, Timaeus, Rhetorica ad Herennium (which, according to Valla, was a work of Cicero), Partitiones oratoriae, and Tusculanae disputationes. Finally, I present Valla’s posthumous encyclopaedia, the De expetendis ac fugiendis rebus, and, in particular, Cicero’s presence in its books on rhetoric.

Microparticles of dietary fiber for its use as a fat replacer
Creators: name: Silva Zamora, Rocio
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The overconsumption of dietary fat contributes to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes 2, and cancer, (WHO, 2016). Thus, fat reduction has become one of the major concerns in the food industry and research communities. However, the fat content has a clear impact on food texture, hence fat reduction highly impacts acceptance by the consumer. Such impact can be bypassed by processing carbohydrates into microparticles for their use as a fat replacer. Whenever the particle size is maintained under the threshold of perception, important properties derived from the presence of fat are maintained. The present work demonstrates the application of the spray drying technique to produce microparticulates of dietary fibers, with particle sizes less than 10 µm and examines their role as fat replacers for hazelnut spread. Microparticles of inulin, konjac glucomannan, chia mucilage and psyllium husk were generated for their use as a fat replacer. The use of spray drying leads to high yields (83 %) and microparticles with a projected area equivalent diameter between 5 to 11 μm, a size range representing fat globules. Results demonstrated that spray-dried microparticles composed of dietary fibers were an optimal fat replacer for hazelnut spread creams. Optimization of a dietary fiber formulation containing these fibers, to obtain high viscosity, water holding capacity, and oil holding capacity was conducted. Microparticles containing 46.1, 46.2, and 7.6 weight percentage of chia mucilage, konjac glucomannan, and psyllium husk showed a spraying yield of 83.45%, solubility of 84.63%, and viscosity of 40.49 Pas. When applied to hazelnut spread creams, microparticles substituted palm oil by 100% and produced a product with total and saturated fat reduction of 41 and 77 %, respectively. An increase in dietary fibers of 4 % and a decrease in total calories of 80 % were also induced when compared with the original formulation. Hazelnut spread with dietary fiber microparticles was preferred by 73.13% of participants in the sensory study due to an enhancement in brightness. The demonstrated technique could be used to increase the fiber content while decreasing the fat content in some commercial products, such as peanut butter or chocolate spread.

description: The current $3.5\sigma$ discrepancy between experimental and Standard Model determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_\mu=(g-2)/2$ can only be extended to the discovery $5\sigma$ regime through a reduction of both experimental and theoretical uncertainties. On the theory side, this means a determination of the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) contribution to better than 0.5%, a level of precision that demands the inclusion of QCD + QED effects to properly understand how the behaviour of quarks are modified when their electric charges are turned on. The QCDSF collaboration has generated an ensemble of configurations with dynamical QCD and QED fields with the specific aim of studying flavour breaking effects arising from differences in the quark masses and charges in physical quantities. Here we study these effects in a calculation of HVP around the SU(3) symmetric point. Furthermore, by performing partially-quenched simulations we are able to cover a larger range of quark masses and charges on these configurations and then fit the results to an SU(3) flavour breaking expansion. Subsequently, this allows for an extrapolation to the physical point.

description: A non-perturbative method which can go beyond the weak coupling perturbation theory is introduced. Essential idea is to formulate a set of exact differential equations as a function of the coupling strength $g$. Unlike other resummation in which information of the higher order terms is necessary, we only need a leading order perturbative formula in every step to reach the large value of $g$. The method is applied to the quantum anharmonic oscillator and quantum double well potential in one dimension. Both are known to have divergent series in the weak coupling perturbation and the latter is not Borel summable. Our method is shown to work well from the weak coupling to the strong coupling for the energy eigenvalues and the wave functions. The method is also applied successfully to the system with time-dependent external field.

description: Viene proposta una rilettura della “cornice” del De legibus, nella campagna vicino alla casa natale di Cicerone. In particolare, ci si sofferma sull’inizio del II libro (§§ 1-7) e si intende riesaminare l’elogio del luogo natale e il problema di avere “due patrie”, unam naturae, alteram civitatis, o anche alteram loci patriam, alteram iuris (leg. 2, 5). La riflessione ciceroniana in leg. 2, 1-7 può tornare ad essere di attualità nel mondo contemporaneo globalizzato, nel quale si devono affrontare imponenti fenomeni migratori, si ripropongono problemi di cittadinanza, si fronteggiano in modo ricorrente idee sovranazionali e istinti provinciali.

description: The Gilbert damping parameter, which describes magnetization dynamics, is crucial for the performance of modern spintronic devices, affecting factors such as the switching speed and critical current density of magnetoresistive random access memory. Thus, the ability to engineer it on demand is pivotal for developing novel spintronic applications. In this work, we systematically examine the Gilbert damping parameter of Fe films in contact with a black phosphorus-like bismuth monolayer using first-principles calculations. In these Bi/Fe heterostructures, we obtain a significantly enhanced Gilbert damping owing to strong interfacial spin-orbit couplings (SOCs). Interestingly, we find non-monotonic thickness-dependent Gilbert damping anisotropy and attribute that to the competition between the interfacial SOC and the intrinsically anisotropic SOC of Fe films. We further demonstrate that these SOC effects lead to anisotropic band structures, which are responsible for the anisotropic Gilbert damping. Our work provides a deep understanding of the anisotropic Gilbert damping and opens avenues for exploring it in ferromagnetic heterostructures.
