description: We give new criteria for the existence of weak solutions to an equation with a super linear source term \begin{align*}-Δu = u^q ~~\text{in}~Ω,~~u=σ~~\text{on }~\partialΩ\end{align*}where $Ω$ is a either a bounded smooth domain or $\mathbb{R}\_+^{N}$, $q\textgreater{}1$ and $σ\in \mathfrak{M}^+(\partialΩ)$ is a nonnegative Radon measure on $\partialΩ$. One of the criteria we obtain is expressed in terms of some Bessel capacities on $\partialΩ$. We also give a sufficient condition for the existence of weak solutions to equation with source mixed terms. \begin{align*} -Δu = |u|^{q\_1-1}u|\nabla u|^{q\_2} ~~\text{in}~Ω,~~u=σ~~\text{on }~\partialΩ\end{align*} where $q\_1,q\_2\geq 0, q\_1+q\_2\textgreater{}1, q\_2\textless{}2$, $σ\in \mathfrak{M}(\partialΩ)$ is a Radon measure on $\partialΩ$.

description: Recent astronomical observations show that the universe may be anisotropic on large scales. The Union2 SnIa data hint that the universe has a preferred direction. If such a cosmological privileged axis indeed exists, one has to consider an anisotropic expanding Universe instead of the isotropic cosmological model. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the dark energy dipole in $f(R,T)=f_{1}(R)+f_{2}(T)$ Cosmological Model using three types of dipole fit (DF) method which are (I)dipole + monopole fitting for distance modulus(DMFDM), (II)dipole + monopole fitting for luminosity distance(DMFLD) and (III) general dipole fitting for luminosity distance(GDFLD). We have found the maximum anisotropic deviation direction for (DMFDM) method as $(l, b)=(315^{+25}_{-25},-23^{+14}_{-15})$, for (DMFLD) as $(l, b)=(l, b)=(315^{+35}_{-37},-23^{+18}_{-18})$, and for (GDFLD) method as $(l, b)=(317^{+32}_{-32},-23^{+18}_{-18})$ which are located very close to each other. We compare our model with the $CPL$, $ΛCDM$ and $ωCDM$ models. Constraints on $(l, b)$ in $f(R, T)$ model are not much different from the cases of the $CPL$, $ΛCDM$ and $ωCDM$ models. Moreover, the results are consistent with other studies.

description: We show that for a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a potential whose first moment is integrable the scattering matrix is in the unital Wiener algebra of functions with integrable Fourier transforms. Then we use this to derive dispersion estimates for solutions of the associated Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon equations. In particular, we remove the additional decay conditions in the case where a resonance is present at the edge of the continuous spectrum.

description: In this paper, we explore whether masked emotional faces can elicit changes in physiology without awareness. We also explore whether emotional miss-discrimination involves the physiological correlates associated with the perception of an emotion. We adjust the discrimination threshold of presentation per participant and stimulus type to chance-level performance using hit rates and receiver-operating characteristics (ROC). We assess subliminality using an adjusted Bayesian criterion for awareness (A = .167). We measure skin-conductance, heart-rate, facial-emotional and engagement-task force-pressure responses to masked fearful, angry, happy, sad and neutral faces. We report that when faces were subjectively adjusted using unbiased ROC criteria for awareness, we found non-significant differences between emotions and Bayesian evidence for null responses. Hit-rate adjustments were associated with physiological changes for hits and misses for fearful, angry and happy faces. For misses for discrimination performance, participants could correctly appraise the valence and arousal of the presented face. Miss-discrimination for seeing a fearful face when presented with innocuous cues was also associated with high arousal responses. These findings suggest that if physiological arousal is elicited during the presentation of masked emotion, conscious assessment is, upon explicit post-trial inquiry, involved in the evaluation of the elicited emotion and the emotional elicitor.

description: Background The efficacy of ceftazidime-Avibactam-a cephalosporin-β-lactamase inhibitor combination with in vitro activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)-compared with colistin remains unknown. Methods Patients initially treated with either ceftazidime-Avibactam or colistin for CRE infections were selected from the Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella and other Enterobacteriaceae (CRACKLE), a prospective, multicenter, observational study. Efficacy, safety, and benefit-risk analyses were performed using intent-To-Treat analyses with partial credit and the desirability of outcome ranking approaches. The ordinal efficacy outcome was based on disposition at day 30 after starting treatment (home vs not home but not observed to die in the hospital vs hospital death). All analyses were adjusted for confounding using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Results Thirty-eight patients were treated first with ceftazidime-Avibactam and 99 with colistin. Most patients received additional anti-CRE agents as part of their treatment. Bloodstream (n = 63; 46%) and respiratory (n = 30; 22%) infections were most common. In patients treated with ceftazidime-Avibactam versus colistin, IPTW-Adjusted all-cause hospital mortality 30 days after starting treatment was 9% versus 32%, respectively (difference, 23%; 95% bootstrap confidence interval, 9%-35%; P =.001). In an analysis of disposition at 30 days, patients treated with ceftazidime-Avibactam, compared with those treated within colistin, had an IPTW-Adjusted probability of a better outcome of 64% (95% confidence interval, 57%-71%). Partial credit analyses indicated uniform superiority of ceftazidime-Avibactam to colistin. Conclusions Ceftazidime-Avibactam may be a reasonable alternative to colistin in the treatment of K. pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing CRE infections. These findings require confirmation in a randomized controlled trial.

description: Automatic anomaly localization is a crucial task in industries. Previous studies focused on approximating the distribution of normal features without adaptation to a target dataset. However, since anomaly localization should precisely discriminate normal and abnormal features, the absence of adaptation may make the normality of abnormal features overestimated. Thus, we propose Connected-Clusterer-based Feature Adaptation (CCFA) which accomplishes sophisticated anomaly localization using features adapted to the target dataset. CCFA consists of (1) a learnable patch descriptor that learns and embeds clusterer-target-oriented features and (2) scalable memory bank independent of the size of the target dataset. And, CCFA adopts transfer learning to increase the normal feature density so that abnormal features can be clearly distinguished by applying patch descriptor and memory bank to a pretrained CNN. The proposed method outperforms the previous methods quantitatively and qualitatively. For example, it provides an AUROC score of 99.7% in anomaly detection and 98.7% in anomaly location of MVTec AD benchmark. In addition, this paper points out the negative effects of baised features of pre-trained CNNs and emphasizes the importance of the adaptation to the target dataset.

description: To the Editor—We thank Elamin and colleagues for their interest and comments on our review. Elamin et al make several excellent points. They note that in their experience in the United Kingdom, the most significant risk for acquisition of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in their burn unit is the transfer of patients with healthcare exposure in other countries. International travel to or recent hospitalization in a region with high rates of multidrug resistance have been described as a risk factor for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae.
Stretch formulations and the Poynting effect in nonlinear elasticity

description: The second invariant of the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor $\mathbf{B}$ (or right $\mathbf{C}$) has been argued to play a fundamental role in nonlinear elasticity. Generalized neo-Hookean materials, which depend only on the first invariant, lead to universal relations that conflict with experimental data, fail to display important mechanical behaviors (such as the Poynting effect in simple shear), and may not provide a satisfactory link with the mesoscale. However, the second invariant term is not a higher order strain contribution to the energy, which lead us to reflect on what is incomplete about neo-Hookean materials. Instead of the usual Cauchy-Green elastic formulation, we investigate this matter from the perspective of left stretch $\mathbf{V}= \sqrt{\mathbf{B}}$ and Bell strain $\mathbf{E}_{\text{Bell}} = \mathbf{V}-\mathbf{I}$ formulations. Invariants of these tensors offer a different interpretation than those of $\mathbf{B}$ and are linked to different classes of materials. The main example we adopt is a general isotropic energy quadratic in Bell strains, the quadratic-Biot material. Despite being quadratic in stretch like neo-Hookean, this material presents both the classic and reverse Poynting effect in simple shear, whose direction switches as a function of the constant conjugate to the second invariant of $\mathbf{E}_{\text{Bell}}$. Its second normal stress also presents a local maximum as a function of the amount of shear, a transition that is not observed in a Mooney-Rivlin solid. Moreover, even the Varga model, linear in Bell strains, presents Poynting in simple shear, which poses the question of why this is not true for a model linear in Green-Lagrange strains. Pure torsion of a solid cylinder is also discussed, particularly how the behavior of the resultant axial force contrasts between the different formulations.

description: Entanglement distribution is key to the success of secure communication schemes based on quantum mechanics, and there is a strong need for an ultimate architecture able to overcome the limitations of recent proposals such as those based on entanglement percolation or quantum repeaters. In this work we provide broad theoretical background for the development of such technologies. In particular, we investigate the question of whether entanglement distribution is more efficient if some amount of entanglement -- or some amount of correlations in general -- is available prior to the transmission stage of the protocol. We show that in the presence of noise the answer to this question strongly depends on the type of noise and on the way how entanglement is quantified. On the one hand, subadditive entanglement measures do not show advantage of preshared correlations if entanglement is established via combinations of single-qubit Pauli channels. On the other hand, based on the superadditivity conjecture of distillable entanglement, we provide evidence that this phenomenon occurs for this measure. These results strongly suggest that sending one half of some pure entangled state down a noisy channel is the best strategy for any subadditive entanglement quantifier, thus paving the way to a unified approach for entanglement distribution which does not depend on the nature of noise. We also provide general bounds for entanglement distribution involving quantum discord, and present a counter-intuitive phenomenon of the advantage of arbitrarily little entangled states over maximally entangled ones, which may also occur for quantum channels relevant in experiments.

Publisher: name: Springer International Publishing
Year: 2017

description: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are amongst the most feared pathogens due to severely limited treatment options. In response to this threat, three novel β-lactamase inhibitors have been developed in an attempt to reinvigorate and sustain our current antimicrobial therapies. Avibactam, vaborbactam, and relebactam are inhibitor agents with high affinity to Ambler class A and C β-lactamases and favorable outcomes in current clinical trials. However, although they do possess key similarities, these agents have unique differences which may have important clinical implications. The microbiologic spectrum, pharmacokinetics, and key clinical trials for each of these novel agents are reviewed. A proposed role in therapy and potential novel combinations are examined.

description: For international adaptation finance to reduce vulnerability to climate change, global funds must be technically adequate, where available finance responds to the adaptation needs of developing countries. The purpose of this article is to analyse if the United Nations Framework and Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the financial entities that fall under it are designed in such a way that allows them to respond to the adaptation needs of developing countries. The results presented here are based on an examination of all projects (n = 114) accepted and rejected for financing by the Adaptation Fund (AF), and indicate that the AF is technically inadequate when it comes to responding to the needs of developing countries in regard to adaptation priorities, due primarily to the nature of the design of the guidance. We supplement our analysis with interviews with the AF Secretariat and AF Implementing Agencies that are responsible for AF project applications. The results indicate that non-adherence to guidance is perceived by the AF Secretariat as the Fund adapting to adaptation needs that have arisen outside of the COP and CMP context, while applicants have felt that non-adherence can present an obstacle to accessing funding.

description: Motivated by recent experimental observations of correlated metallic phases and superconductivity in rhombohedral trilayer graphene (RTG), we perform an unbiased study of electronic ordering instabilities in hole-doped RTG. Specifically, we focus on electronic states energetically proximate to Van Hove singularities (VHSs), where a large density of states promotes different interaction-induced symmetry-breaking electronic orders. To resolve the Fermi surface near VHSs, we construct a fermionic hot-spot model and demonstrate that a perpendicular electric field can tune different nesting structures of the Fermi surface. Subsequently, we apply a renormalization group analysis to describe the low-energy phase diagrams of our model under both short-range repulsive interactions as well as realistic (long-range) Coulomb interactions. Our analysis shows instabilities towards either intervalley coherent metallic phases or superconducting phases. The dominant pairing channel depends crucially on the nature of Fermi surface nesting -- repulsive Coulomb interaction favors spin-singlet $d$-wave pairing for relatively small displacement field and spin-singlet $i$-wave pairing for larger displacement field. We argue that the phase diagram of RTG can be well-understood by modeling the realistic Coulomb interaction as the sum of repulsive density-density interaction and ferromagnetic spin-triplet intervalley coherence (IVC) Hund's coupling, while phonon-mediated electronic interactions have a negligible effect on this system, in sharp contrast to twisted graphene multilayers.

description: Based upon knowledge of the hydrolytic profile of major β-lactamases found in Gram-negative bacteria, we tested the efficacy of the combination of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) with aztreonam (ATM) against carbapenem-resistant enteric bacteria possessing metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). Disk diffusion and agarbased antimicrobial susceptibility testing were initially performed to determine the in vitro efficacy of a unique combination of CAZ-AVI and ATM against 21 representative Enterobacteriaceae isolates with a complex molecular background that included blaIMP, blaNDM, blaOXA-48, blaCTX-M, blaAmpC, and combinations thereof. Time-kill assays were conducted, and the in vivo efficacy of this combination was assessed in a murine neutropenic thigh infection model. By disk diffusion assay, all 21 isolates were resistant to CAZ-AVI alone, and 19/21 were resistant to ATM. The in vitro activity of CAZ-AVI in combination with ATM against diverse Enterobacteriaceae possessing MBLs was demonstrated in 17/21 isolates, where the zone of inhibition was ≥21 mm. All isolates demonstrated a reduction in CAZ-AVI agar dilution MICs with the addition of ATM. At 2 h, time-kill assays demonstrated a ≥4-log10-CFU decrease for all groups that had CAZ-AVI with ATM (8 μg/ml) added, compared to the group treated with CAZ-AVI alone. In the murine neutropenic thigh infection model, an almost 4-log10-CFU reduction was noted at 24 h for CAZ-AVI (32 mg/kg every 8 h [q8h]) plus ATM (32 mg/kg q8h) versus CAZ-AVI (32 mg/kg q8h) alone. The data presented herein require us to carefully consider this new therapeutic combination to treat infections caused by MBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

description: Lung cancer is a severe menace to human health, due to which millions of people die because of late diagnoses of cancer; thus, it is vital to detect the disease as early as possible. The Computerized chest analysis Tomography of scan is assumed to be one of the efficient solutions for detecting and classifying lung nodules. The necessity of high accuracy of analyzing C.T. scan images of the lung is considered as one of the crucial challenges in detecting and classifying lung cancer. A new long-short-term-memory (LSTM) based deep fusion structure, is introduced, where, the texture features computed from lung nodules through new volumetric grey-level-co-occurrence-matrices (GLCM) computations are applied to classify the nodules into: benign, malignant and ambiguous. An improved Otsu segmentation method combined with the water strider optimization algorithm (WSA) is proposed to detect the lung nodules. Otsu-WSA thresholding can overcome the restrictions present in previous thresholding methods. Extended experiments are run to assess this fusion structure by considering 2D-GLCM computations based 2D-slices fusion, and an approximation of this 3D-GLCM with volumetric 2.5D-GLCM computations-based LSTM fusion structure. The proposed methods are trained and assessed through the LIDC-IDRI dataset, where 94.4%, 91.6%, and 95.8% Accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are obtained, respectively for 2D-GLCM fusion and 97.33%, 96%, and 98%, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, respectively, for 2.5D-GLCM fusion. The yield of the same are 98.7%, 98%, and 99%, for the 3D-GLCM fusion. The obtained results and analysis indicate that the WSA-Otsu method requires less execution time and yields a more accurate thresholding process. It is found that 3D-GLCM based LSTM outperforms its counterparts.

description: Health care–associated infections in burn patients, from ventilator-associated pneumonia to skin and soft tissue infections, can substantially compromise outcomes, because these complications are associated with longer lengths of stay, increased morbidity and mortality, and greater direct medical costs. Health care–associated infections are largely preventable, through surveillance, education, appropriate hand hygiene, and culture change, especially for device-related infections. Systems-based practice, which allows individuals and clinical microsystems to navigate and improve the macro health care system, may be one of the most powerful skill sets to effect change, permitting a shift in culture toward patient safety and quality improvement.

The distribution of the quasispecies for a Galton--Watson process on the sharp peak landscape

description: We study a classical multitype Galton--Watson process with mutation and selection. The individuals are sequences of fixed length over a finite alphabet. On the sharp peak fitness landscape together with independent mutations per locus, we show that, as the length of the sequences goes to $\infty$ and the mutation probability goes to 0, the asymptotic relative frequency of the sequences differing on $k$ digits from the master sequence approaches $$(σe^{-a}-1)\frac{a^k}{k!}\sum_{i\geq1}\frac{i^k}{σ^i}\,,$$ where $σ$ is the selective advantage of the master sequence and $a$ is the product of the length of the chains with the mutation probability. The probability distribution $\mathcal{Q}(σ,a)$ on the non negative integers given by the above formula is the quasispecies distribution with parameters $σ$ and $a$.

description: Building upon our previous work, on graphical representation of a quantum state by signless Laplacian matrix, we pose the following question. If a local unitary operation is applied to a quantum state, represented by a signless Laplacian matrix, what would be the corresponding graph and how does one implement local unitary transformations graphically? We answer this question by developing the notion of local unitary equivalent graphs. We illustrate our method by a few, well known, local unitary transformations implemented by single-qubit Pauli and Hadamard gates. We also show how graph switching can be used to implement the action of the CNOT gate, resulting in a graphical description of Bell state generation.

Nonequilibrium dynamical structure of a dilute suspension of active particles in a viscoelastic fluid

description: In this work, we investigate the dynamics of the number density fluctuations of a dilute suspension of active particles in a linear viscoelastic fluid. We propose a model for the frequency-dependent diffusion coefficient of the active particles, which captures the effect of rotational diffusion on the persistence of their self-propelled motion and the viscoelasticity of the medium. Using fluctuating hydrodynamics, the linearized equations for the active suspension are derived, from which we calculate its dynamic structure factor and the corresponding intermediate scattering function. For a Maxwell-type rheological model, we find an intricate dependence of these functions on the parameters that characterize the viscoelasticity of the solvent and the activity of the particles, which can significantly deviate from those of an inert suspension of passive particles and of an active suspension in a Newtonian solvent. In particular, in some regions of the parameter space we uncover the emergence of oscillations in the intermediate scattering function at certain wave numbers, which represent the hallmark of the non-equilibrium particle activity in the dynamical structure of the suspension and also encode the viscoelastic properties of the medium.
