description: With the introduction of superconducting circuits into the field of quantum optics, many novel experimental demonstrations of the quantum physics of an artificial atom coupled to a single-mode light field have been realized. Engineering such quantum systems offers the opportunity to explore extreme regimes of light-matter interaction that are inaccessible with natural systems. For instance the coupling strength $g$ can be increased until it is comparable with the atomic or mode frequency $ω_{a,m}$ and the atom can be coupled to multiple modes which has always challenged our understanding of light-matter interaction. Here, we experimentally realize the first Transmon qubit in the ultra-strong coupling regime, reaching coupling ratios of $g/ω_{m}=0.19$ and we measure multi-mode interactions through a hybridization of the qubit up to the fifth mode of the resonator. This is enabled by a qubit with 88% of its capacitance formed by a vacuum-gap capacitance with the center conductor of a coplanar waveguide resonator. In addition to potential applications in quantum information technologies due to its small size and localization of electric fields in vacuum, this new architecture offers the potential to further explore the novel regime of multi-mode ultra-strong coupling.

description: There has been increasing interest in the integrated information theory (IIT) ofconsciousness, which hypothesizes that consciousness is integrated information withinneuronal dynamics. However, the current formulation of IIT poses both practical andtheoretical problems when we aim to empirically test the theory by computingintegrated information from neuronal signals. For example, measuring integratedinformation requires observing all the elements in the considered system at the sametime, but this is practically rather difficult. In addition, the interpretation of the spatialpartition needed to compute integrated information becomes vague in continuous time-series variables due to a general property of nonlinear dynamical systems known as"embedding." Here, we propose that some aspects of such problems are resolved byconsidering the topological dimensionality of shared attractor dynamics as an indicatorof integrated information in continuous attractor dynamics. In this formulation, theeffects of unobserved nodes on the attractor dynamics can be reconstructed using atechnique called delay embedding, which allows us to identify the dimensionality of anembedded attractor from partial observations. We propose that the topologicaldimensionality represents a critical property of integrated information, as it is invariantto general coordinate transformations. We illustrate this new framework with simpleexamples and discuss how it fits together with recent findings based on neuralrecordings from awake and anesthetized animals. This topological approach extendsthe existing notions of IIT to continuous dynamical systems and offers a much-neededframework for testing the theory with experimental data by substantially relaxing theconditions required for evaluating integrated information in real neural systems.

description: Climate change impacts are likely to affect the agricultural production leading to further food insecurity. In this context, the trend of cereal production with climate variables was studied in order to understand the linkages between climate change and crop productivity. The study was conducted in three districts of Sagarmatha zone, namely Solukhumbu (mountain region), Okhaldhunga (hill region) and Saptari (Terai region) representing three ecological zones in Nepal. A household survey (295 households), focus group discussions and key informant interviews were used to collect data on the history of the cultivation systems, varieties of crop grown, trends on crop yield, and adaptation to climate change. Results showed farmers’ introduction of high yielding varieties of crops and vegetables due to economic benefit, while traditional varieties are no longer cultivated. The infestation of pest attack is increasingly seen since two decades, while few pests were reported to be disappeared. Although majority of farmers in Saptari and Okhaldhunga districts used pesticides as per the prescribed doses, pesticide use is still random in Solukhumbu district. The multiple comparisons of means showed that there is a significant difference in the average production of rice and maize since 30 years until recently (p<0.05) in these three districts. The average production of rice, maize and wheat increased with decreasing average annual temperature and rainfall in Saptari district since 30 years. In contrast, in Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu districts, the average production of three cereal crops increased with increasing average annual temperature and rainfall. With the late arrival of the monsoon, farmers have adopted coping strategies particularly for rice cultivation through occasional shift in crop planting dates and selection of shorter duration crop varieties that can be harvested early

description: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are implemented as standard treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in first-line and subsequent-line treatment. However, certain subgroups such as patients with older age, poor performance status (PS), and severe comorbidity are underrepresented in the randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This study aimed to assess overall survival (OS), treatment data, and clinical features affecting second- or subsequent-line ICI efficacy in an unselected, Danish, nationwide NSCLC population. Patients with advanced NSCLC who started nivolumab or pembrolizumab as second-line or subsequent-line treatment between 1 September 2015, and 1 October 2018, were identified from institutional records of all Danish oncology departments. Clinical and treatment data were retrospectively collected. Descriptive statistics and survival analyses were performed. Data were available for 840 patients; 49% females. The median age was 68 years (19% were ≥75 years), 19% had PS ≥2, and 36% had moderate to severe comorbidity. The median OS (mOS) was 12.2 months; 15.1 months and 10.0 months in females and males, respectively. The median time-to-treatment discontinuation (mTTD) and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 3.2 and 5.2 months, respectively. Patients with PS ≥2 had a mOS of 4.5 months, mTTD of 1.1 month, and mPFS of 2.0 months. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, male sex (HR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.11–1.62), PS >0 (PS 1, HR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.52–2.33; PS ≥2, HR = 4.15, 95% CI 3.13–5.5), liver metastases (HR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.34–2.22), and bone metastases (HR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.03–1.58) were significant poor prognostic OS factors. Danish real-world patients with advanced NSCLC treated with second- or subsequent-line ICI had an OS comparable to results from RCTs. Women, frail and older patients constituted a higher proportion than in previous RCTs. Clinical features associated with poor OS were male sex, PS ≥1 (in particular PS ≥2), bone-, and liver metastases.

description: In a two-component jet model, the emissions are the sum of the core and extended emissions: $S^{\rm ob}=S_{\rm core}^{\rm ob}+S_{\rm ext}^{\rm ob}$, with the core emissions, $S_{\rm core}^{\rm ob}= f S_{\rm ext}^{\rm ob}δ^{q}$, being a function of the Doppler factor, $δ$, the extended emission, $S_{\rm ext}^{\rm ob}$, jet type dependent factor, $q$, and the ratio of the core to the extended emissions in the comoving frame, $f$. The $f$ is an unobservable but important parameter. Following our previous work, we collect 65 blazars with available Doppler factor, $δ$, superluminal velocity, $β_{app}$, and core-dominance parameter, $R$, calculate the ratio, $f$, and peform statistical analyses. We find that the ratio, $f$, in BL Lacs is on average larger than that in FSRQs. We suggest that the difference of the ratio $f$ between FSRQs and BL Lacs is one of the possible reasons that cause the difference of other observed properties between them. We also find some significant correlations between $\log f$ and other parameters, including intrinsic (de-beamed) peak frequency, $\log ν_{\rm p}^{\rm in}$, intrinsic polarization, $\log P^{\rm in}$, and core-dominance parameter, $\log R$, for the whole sample. In addition, we show that the ratio, $f$, can be estimated by $R$.

description: Defining prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a population remains a topical issue. We studied the index of infectability based on results of sensitivity to tuberculin PPD-L (it can give positive result in response to the vaccine strain of Mycobacterium bovis BCG and upon infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis) using Mantoux test or Diaskintest® (which gives reaction to Mycobacterium tuberculosis only) in 98 students of the 4th year of medical university (aged 20 -23 years), who had been vaccinated by BCG in the maternity house with no subsequent revaccinations. 64.3% of subjects in studied cohorts gave positive Mantoux test with 2 TU PPD-L whereas all study subjects gave negative results in Diaskintest®. The question remains, whether these students are infected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG or Mycobacterium tuberculosis? Diaskintest®does not solve the issue of tuberculosis infection at the population level. Perhaps, the indications for Diaskintest® application ought to be specified.

description: There is very limited data available on how most breast cancer recurrences, either distant metastases or locoregional recurrences (LRR), are actually discovered in routine clinical practice. From a prospective cohort of 621 women diagnosed and treated for early invasive breast cancer between 2003 and 2013, we analysed the patients who were later diagnosed with distant metastases (n = 61) and the patients who had locoregional recurrences (LRR; n = 34). The patients had routine control visits for up to 10 years from initial diagnosis, with annual clinical visits, mammography, blood count, plasma creatinine and liver function tests. Most distant metastases (n = 38, 62%) were found when a patient contacted health care services because of a symptom; only ten (16%) were detected at pre-planned control visits. The most common first sign or symptom of metastasis was pain (n = 23, 38%). Pain as the first indicator of metastasis indicated a lower survival in metastatic disease (hazard ratio 4.40; 95% confidence interval 1.77–10.94; p = 0.001). How relapse was detected or whether patient was symptomatic did not affect overall survival (OS) of patients with distant metastases. LRRs were mostly found at pre-planned control visits (n = 14, 41%). Abnormalities in routine laboratory tests did not lead to any detection of recurrence. In this prospective, contemporary, real-world study, the vast majority of both distant metastases and LRRs were detected outside the pre-planned control visits. These results highlight the importance of finding ways to lower the threshold for contacting the surveillance unit, rather than frequent routine controls.

description: Achieving a successful energetic transition through a smarter and greener electricity grid is a major goal for the 21st century. It is assumed that such smart grids will be characterized by bidirectional electricity flows coupled with the use of small renewable generators and a proper efficient information system. All these bricks might enable end users to take part in the grid stability by injecting power, or by shaping their consumption against financial compensation. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that forms coalitions of agents, called prosumers, that both produce and consume. It is designed to be used by aggregators that aim at selling the aggregated surplus of production of the prosumers they control. We rely on real weather data sampled across stations of a given territory in order to simulate realistic production and consumption patterns for each prosumer. This approach enables us to capture geographical correlations among the agents while preserving the diversity due to different behaviors. As aggregators are bound to the grid operator by a contract, they seek to maximize their offer while minimizing their risk. The proposed graph based algorithm takes the underlying correlation structure of the agents into account and outputs coalitions with both high productivity and low variability. We show then that the resulting diversified coalitions are able to generate higher benefits on a constrained energy market, and are more resilient to random failures of the agents.

description: The characteristic time-dependent viscosity of the intergranular pore-fluid in Buckingham's grain-shearing (GS) model [Buckingham, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 108, 2796-2815 (2000)] is identified as the property of rheopecty. The property corresponds to a rare type of a non-Newtonian fluid in rheology which has largely remained unexplored. The material impulse response function from the GS model is found to be similar to the power-law memory kernel which is inherent in the framework of fractional calculus. The compressional wave equation and the shear wave equation derived from the GS model are shown to take the form of the Kelvin-Voigt fractional-derivative wave equation and the fractional diffusion-wave equation respectively. Therefore, an analogy is drawn between the dispersion relations obtained from the fractional framework and those from the GS model to establish the equivalence of the respective wave equations. Further, a physical interpretation of the characteristic fractional order present in the wave equations is inferred from the GS model. The overall goal is to show that fractional calculus is not just a mathematical framework which can be used to curve-fit the complex behavior of materials. Rather, it can also be derived from real physical processes as illustrated in this work by the example of grain-shearing.

description: This paper investigates the wage assimilation of foreign immigrants and internal migrants in Italy, comparing them with stayers. Control for the selection in out-migration is performed using a new duration version of the Heckman correction and by taking into account both return migration and moves to other destinations. Internal migrants experience only minor wage differences when compared with stayers. By contrast, foreign immigrants earn about 8% less than stayers and internal migrants at the beginning of their careers, and the wage gap increases over time. Both language distance and job segmentation contribute to immigrants’ lack of wage assimilation.

Для практического врача сформулирован алгоритм лечения АР. В подавляющем большинстве случаев первая линия терапии – это антигистаминные препараты. В качестве терапии второй линии используют комбинацию антигистаминных и топических глюкокортикостероидов в различных формах. Антилейкотриеновые препараты могут быть рассмотрены как альтернативная терапия в особых случаях. Проведенный обзор существующих метаанализов эффективности терапии при АР позволяет считать цетиризин одним из самых эффективных препаратов с высоким профилем безопасности.

description: Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus is increasing in incidence but remains a rare disease with good 3- and 5-year recurrence free and overall survival rates of 63%–86%. The treatment includes chemoradiotherapy, mainly with 5-fluoruracil (5FU) and mitomycin. The aim of this study was to describe long-term (up to 9 years after treatment) oncological outcome and the types of treatments given, in a Swedish national cohort of patients diagnosed with anal cancer between 2011 and 2013. Patients were identified in the Swedish Cancer Registry. Patients still alive were contacted and asked for consent. Clinical data were retrieved from National Patient Register at the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare and from medical records. Unadjusted and adjusted analyses were performed for overall survival. Three hundred and eighty-eight patients were included in the study of which 338 patients (87%) received treatment with a curative intent. Follow up was 85 months (0–113 months) for patients treated with curative intent (information missing in one patient) 7.5 months (0–55) for patients with treated with a palliative intent. Curative treatment varied and consisted of both chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy (46–64 Gy) alone. 5-FU, mitomycin and cisplatin were the most used chemotherapy agents. Five-year overall survival for patients treated with curative intent was 73%. In an adjusted analysis 5-FU and mitomycin is associated with a lower mortality than 5-FU and cisplatin but the association was weaker (HR 1.61 (95% CI: 0.904; 2.85) than in the unadjusted analysis In this national cohort overall five-year survival was 73% for patients treated with curative intent. As reported by others our results indicate that 5-FU and mitomycin C should be the preferred chemotherapy in treatment for cure.

description: We present an infinite class of one-parameter scalar field extensions to the BTZ black hole in 2+1-dimensions. By virtue of the scalar charge the thin-shell wormhole supported by a linear fluid at the throat becomes stable against linear perturbations. More interestingly, we provide an example of thin-shell wormhole which is strictly stable in the sense that it is confined in between two classically intransmissible potential barriers.

From recent results it is known that for suitable regular initial data, the corresponding initial-boundary value problem possesses a global generalized solution. We will show that for small initial mass $\int_Ω\!n_0$ these generalized solutions will eventually become classical solutions of the system and obey certain asymptotic properties. Moreover, from the analysis of certain energy-type inequalities arising during the investigation of the eventual regularity, we will also derive a result on global existence of classical solutions under assumption of certain smallness conditions on the size of $n_0$ in $L^1\!\left(Ω\right)$ and in $L\log L\!\left(Ω\right)$, $u_0$ in $L^4\!\left(Ω\right)$, and of $\nabla c_0$ in $L^2\!\left(Ω\right)$.

description: Visual tracking addresses the problem of identifying and localizing an unknown target in a video given the target specified by a bounding box in the first frame. In this paper, we propose a dual network to better utilize features among layers for visual tracking. It is observed that features in higher layers encode semantic context while its counterparts in lower layers are sensitive to discriminative appearance. Thus we exploit the hierarchical features in different layers of a deep model and design a dual structure to obtain better feature representation from various streams, which is rarely investigated in previous work. To highlight geometric contours of the target, we integrate the hierarchical feature maps with an edge detector as the coarse prior maps to further embed local details around the target. To leverage the robustness of our dual network, we train it with random patches measuring the similarities between the network activation and target appearance, which serves as a regularization to enforce the dual network to focus on target object. The proposed dual network is updated online in a unique manner based on the observation that the target being tracked in consecutive frames should share more similar feature representations than those in the surrounding background. It is also found that for a target object, the prior maps can help further enhance performance by passing message into the output maps of the dual network. Therefore, an independent component analysis with reference algorithm (ICA-R) is employed to extract target context using prior maps as guidance. Online tracking is conducted by maximizing the posterior estimate on the final maps with stochastic and periodic update. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on two large-scale benchmark data sets show that the proposed algorithm performs favourably against the state-of-the-arts.

description: We consider quantum lifetime derived from low-field Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations as a metric of quality of the two-dimensional electron gas in GaAs quantum wells that expresses large excitation gaps in the fractional quantum Hall states of the N=1 Landau level. Analysis indicates two salient features: 1) small density inhomogeneities dramatically impact the amplitude of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations such that the canonical method (cf. Coleridge, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{44}, 3793) for determination of quantum lifetime substantially underestimates $τ_q$ unless density inhomogeneity is explicitly considered; 2) $τ_q$ does not correlate well with quality as measured by $Δ_{5/2}$, the excitation gap of the fractional quantum Hall state at 5/2 filling.

description: We analyze the evolution of Fe XII coronal plasma upflows from the edges of ten active regions (ARs) as they cross the solar disk using the Hinode Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). Confirming the results of Demoulin et al. (2013, Sol. Phys. 283, 341), we find that for each AR there is an observed long term evolution of the upflows which is largely due to the solar rotation progressively changing the viewpoint of dominantly stationary upflows. From this projection effect, we estimate the unprojected upflow velocity and its inclination to the local vertical. AR upflows typically fan away from the AR core by 40 deg. to near vertical for the following polarity. The span of inclination angles is more spread for the leading polarity with flows angled from -29 deg. (inclined towards the AR center) to 28 deg. (directed away from the AR). In addition to the limb-to-limb apparent evolution, we identify an intrinsic evolution of the upflows due to coronal activity which is AR dependent. Further, line widths are correlated with Doppler velocities only for the few ARs having the largest velocities. We conclude that for the line widths to be affected by the solar rotation, the spatial gradient of the upflow velocities must be large enough such that the line broadening exceeds the thermal line width of Fe XII. Finally, we find that upflows occurring in pairs or multiple pairs is a common feature of ARs observed by Hinode/EIS, with up to four pairs present in AR 11575. This is important for constraining the upflow driving mechanism as it implies that the mechanism is not a local one occurring over a single polarity. AR upflows originating from reconnection along quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs) between over-pressure AR loops and neighboring under-pressure loops is consistent with upflows occurring in pairs, unlike other proposed mechanisms acting locally in one polarity.

description: Abstract

DSM, or demand side management, is vital for the efficiency of smart grids. Since it reduces Electricity Costs (EC), and Home energy management systems, or HEMSs, are quickly emerging as essential instruments for maximizing family energy use. In this research, we propose a unique technique for appliance scheduling in residential settings that minimizes costs and ensures optimal delay: The Genetic Flower Pollination Algorithm (GFPA). The GFPA algorithm presented here is a hybrid method that integrates Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) components. By use of optimum scheduling patterns, our GFPA technique aims to simultaneously maximize User Comfort (UC) and minimize EC and PAR, having undergone rigorous testing at multiple sizes ranging from individual homes to bigger communities. Assuming stability in the types of appliances and patterns of power usage Simulation findings indicate that the GFPA technique improves the existing methods across households. To achieve optimal power scheduling, this research integrates demand response mechanisms and renewable energy sources into a new hybrid technique for smart grid management. It highlights how careful research and testing may improve grid dependability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Through resolving current energy system issues and developing smart grid technologies, this research offers significant perspectives for developing a more dependable and effective energy future.

description: Astrobiology is usually defined as the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. As such it is inherently interdisciplinary and cannot help but engender a worldview infused by cosmic and evolutionary perspectives. Both these attributes of the study of astrobiology are, and will increasingly prove to be, beneficial to society regardless of whether extraterrestrial life is discovered or not.

description: Wireless access points on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being considered for mobile service provisioning in commercial networks. To be able to efficiently use these devices in cellular networks it is necessary to first have a qualitative and quantitative understanding of how their design parameters reflect on the service quality experienced by the end user. In this paper we set up a scenario where a network of UAVs operating at a certain height above ground provide wireless service within coverage areas shaped by their directional antennas. We provide an analytical expression for the coverage probability experienced by a typical user as a function of the UAV parameters.

description: As integration of nanoparticles (NPs) into products becomes more common, the need to address the paucity of chronic hazard information for aquatic environments required to determine risk potential increases. This study generated acute and chronic toxicity reference values for Ceriodaphnia dubia exposed to 20 and 100 nm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to generate and evaluate potential differences in acute-to-chronic ratios (ACR) using two different feeding methods. A modified feeding procedure was employed alongside the standard procedures to investigate the influence of food on organism exposure. An 8-h period before food was added allowed direct organism exposure to NP dispersions (and associated ions) without food-to-NP interactions. The AgNPs [chronic lethal median concentrations (LC50) between 18.7 and 31.9 µg/L] were substantially more toxic than AuNPs (LC50 = 21 507 to >26 384 µg/L). The modified chronic testing method resulted in greater sensitivity in AgNPs exposures. However, the modified feeding ration had less of an effect in exposures to the larger (100 nm) AgNPs compared to smaller particles (20 nm). The ACRs for AgNPs using the standard feeding ration were 1.6 and 3.5 for 20 nm and 100 nm, respectively. The ACRs for AgNPs using the modified feeding ration were 3.4 and 7.6 for 20 nm and 100 nm NPs, respectively. This supports that the addition of the standard feeding ration decreases C. dubia chronic sensitivity to AgNPs, although it must also be recognized organisms may be sensitized due to less access to food. The ACRs for 20 nm and 100 nm AuNPs (standard ration only) were 4.0 and 3.0, respectively. It is important to also consider that dissolved Ag+ ions are more toxic than AgNPs, based on both acute toxicity values in the cited literature and chronic toxicity thresholds generated in this study that support existing thresholds that Ag+ are likely protective of AgNPs effects.

description: Первые проявления пищевой аллергии в раннем возрасте чаще всего связаны с реакцией на белковые продукты, такие как коровье молоко, соя, арахис, рыба и др. Достоверных эпидемиологических данных нет. Клинические проявления гастроинтестинальной пищевой аллергии часто протекают под маской функциональных нарушений в виде колик, срыгиваний, метеоризма, диареи, колитического синдрома.С современных позиций пищевая аллергия рассматривается как патологическая реакция на компоненты пищи, в основе которой лежат иммунные механизмы, включая выработку специфических иммуноглобулинов E (формируя IgE-опосредованные) и клеточный иммунный ответ (формируя не-IgE-опосредованные аллергические реакции). Аллергическое воспаление различных отделов желудочно-кишечного тракта характеризуется эозинофильной инфильтрацией, например, стенок пищевода (эозинофильный эзофагит), желудка (эозинофильный гастрит), тонкой кишки (эозинофильный энтерит), толстой кишки (эозинофильный колит). В статье рассматриваются аллергические поражения ЖКТ, наиболее часто встречающиеся у детей, с акцентом на эозинофильное поражение кишечника, возможности диагностики и терапии у детей.

description: Эозинофильный эзофагит (ЭоЭ) относится к группе гастроинтестинальных эозинофильных заболеваний, которую крайне редко диагностируют в реальной клинической практике российские врачи, особенно у детей. Изначально ЭоЭ считали преимущественно детским заболеванием. ЭоЭ следует заподозрить у пациентов с аллергическими заболеваниями (чаще всего мужского пола) и в сочетании с дисфагией и/или другими жалобами со стороны желудочно-кишечного тракта. Со временем и, особенно при неадекватной терапии, ЭоЭ сопровождается формированием стриктур и фиброзными изменениями ткани пищевода. ЭоЭ – клинико-морфологический диагноз, требующий проведения биопсии слизистой оболочки пищевода. Эта процедура позволяет выявить повышение уровня эозинофилов (≥15 в поле зрения, х400) в пищеводной ткани (без других альтернативных причин эозинофилии). Здесь мы представляем возможный случай ЭоЭ у мальчика 10 лет, страдающего персистирующим аллергическим ринитом, поллинозом, пищевой аллергией и периодически – обострением атопического дерматита.

description: $\textbf{Background:}$ High mutability of HIV is the driving force of antiretroviral drug resistance, which represents a medical care challenge. $\textbf{Method and Model Equation:}$ To detect the mutability of each gene in the HIV-1 genome; a mathematical analysis of HIV-1 genome is performed, depending on a linear relation wherein the probability of spontaneous mutations emergence is directly proportional to the ratio of the gene length to the whole genome length. \begin{equation*} {P_g}{S_i} =\frac{g}{G} \end{equation*} $\textbf{Results:}$ $\textbf{tat}$, $\textbf{vpr}$ and $\textbf{vpu}$ are the least mutant genes in HIV-1 genome. Protease $\textbf{PROT}$ gene is the least mutant gene component of the polymerases $\textbf{pol}$. $\textbf{Conclusion:}$ $\textbf{tat}$, $\textbf{vpr}$ and $\textbf{vpu}$ are the best candidates for HIV-1 recombinant subunit vaccines or as a part of $\textit{prime and boost}$ vaccine combinations. Also; the protease inhibitor-based regime represents a high genetic barrier for HIV to overcome.
