Almost optimal upper bound for the ground state energy of a dilute Fermi gas via cluster expansion

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We prove an upper bound on the energy density of the dilute spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Fermi gas capturing the leading correction to the kinetic energy $8πa ρ_\uparrowρ_\downarrow$ with an error of size smaller than $aρ^{2}(a^3ρ)^{1/3-\varepsilon}$ for any $\varepsilon > 0$, where $a$ denotes the scattering length of the interaction. The result is valid for a large class of interactions including interactions with a hard core. A central ingredient in the proof is a rigorous version of a fermionic cluster expansion adapted from the formal expansion of Gaudin, Gillespie and Ripka (Nucl. Phys. A, 176.2 (1971), pp. 237--260).

description: Based on quantitative ``{\sc kam} theory'', we state and prove two theorems about the continuation of maximal and whiskered quasi--periodic motions to slightly perturbed systems exhibiting proper degeneracy. Next, we apply such results to prove that, in the three--body problem, there is a small set in phase space where it is possible to detect both such families of tori. We also estimate the density of such motions in proper ambient spaces.
 Up to our knowledge, this is the first proof of co--existence of stable and whiskered tori in a physical system.

description: We provide a simple algorithm for constructing Hamiltonian graph cycles (visiting every vertex exactly once) on a set of arbitrarily large finite subgraphs of aperiodic two-dimensional Ammann-Beenker (AB) tilings. Using this result, and the discrete scale symmetry of AB tilings, we find exact solutions to a range of other problems which lie in the complexity class NP-complete for general graphs. These include the equal-weight traveling salesperson problem, providing, for example, the most efficient route a scanning tunneling microscope tip could take to image the atoms of physical quasicrystals with AB symmetries; the longest path problem, whose solution demonstrates that collections of flexible molecules of any length can adsorb onto AB quasicrystal surfaces at density one, with possible applications to catalysis; and the three-coloring problem, giving ground states for the $q$-state Potts model ($q \ge 3$) of magnetic interactions defined on the planar dual to AB, which may provide useful models for protein folding.

description: The development of in situ vapour sampling methods to measure δ2H and δ18O in pore water of deep, unsaturated soil profiles, including mine tailings and waste rock, is required to improve our ability to track water migration through these deposits. To develop appropriate field sampling methods, a laboratory study was first undertaken to evaluate potential materials and sampling methods to collect and analyse vapour samples from unsaturated mine waste. Field methods were developed based on these findings and tested at two mine sites using either on-site analyses with a portable isotope laser spectrometer or sample collection and storage prior to laboratory analyses. The field sites included a series of deep (>50 m) multiport profiles within a coal waste rock dump and open wells installed in a sand tailings dyke at an oil sands mine. Laboratory results show that memory effects in sample bags and tubing require 3–5 pore volumes of vapour flushing prior to sample collection and sample storage times are limited to 24 h. Field sampling highlighted a number of challenges including the need to correct for sample humidity and in situ temperature. Best results were obtained when a portable laser spectrometer was used to measure vapour samples in situ.

description: In this paper we pursue the development of a technique to predict which truckloads or pens of calves are at highest risk to FFP by building a series of multivariate models in which we incorporated some of the above mentioned risk factors measured at a feedlot over a period of three years. These predictive models were then used to examine the question of whether FFP acts as a truly contagious disease in the feedlot. If multivariate models containing only non-contagious factors could accurately predict where FFP would cluster, then perhaps only non-contagious factors work on particular feedlot pens or transport trucks to place calves in those groups at increased risk of developing FFP. If, however, models containing exclusively non-contagious factors were not effective at predicting where the disease clusters, this could mean that a "contagious factor"was missing from our models.

description: A recent trend in the context of graph theory is to bring theoretical analyses closer to empirical observations, by focusing the studies on random graph models that are used to represent practical instances. There, it was observed that geometric inhomogeneous random graphs (GIRGs) yield good representations of complex real-world networks, by expressing edge probabilities as a function that depends on (heterogeneous) vertex weights and distances in some underlying geometric space that the vertices are distributed in. While most of the parameters of the model are understood well, it was unclear how the dimensionality of the ground space affects the structure of the graphs.
 In this paper, we complement existing research into the dimension of geometric random graph models and the ongoing study of determining the dimensionality of real-world networks, by studying how the structure of GIRGs changes as the number of dimensions increases. We prove that, in the limit, GIRGs approach non-geometric inhomogeneous random graphs and present insights on how quickly the decay of the geometry impacts important graph structures. In particular, we study the expected number of cliques of a given size as well as the clique number and characterize phase transitions at which their behavior changes fundamentally. Finally, our insights help in better understanding previous results about the impact of the dimensionality on geometric random graphs.

description: Percutaneous fetotomy is the dissection or dismemberment of a fetus with a wire saw by sectioning through the skin, muscle and bone. Subcutaneous fetotomy is performed with chisels and hooks such that the fetal parts are removed while leaving the skin attached to the remainder of the fetus. This paper will review the percutaneous technique using the Utrecht method. To perform a successful fetotomy the obstetrician must have technical knowledge, have adequate training and experience, possess correctly designed instruments, and use copious amounts of lubricant.

Clinical Management of Pregnancy Complications in the Cow

description: Vandeplassche noted that even if uterine instability is accepted as a cause of torsions up to 180°, it does not explain those torsions of 360° or more. I concur with this statement and would argue that although uterine instability and all the other predisposing factors may be involved in the development of uterine torsion, there must be some active force which is present in the first stage of labor. It has been proposed that strong fetal movements during parturition may increase the chances of a uterine torsion occurring. First stage labor is associated with particularly vigorous fetal movements presumably invoked by the myometrial contractions and subsequent changes in intra-uterine pressure and fetal blood flow. I believe that it is not so much the violence of the fetal movements as it is the size of the fetus involved. Our data strongly suggests that fetal size is a major factor in the development of uterine torsion. In the normal parturient process the fetus is able to rotate and flex its limbs within the confines of the uterine walls. It is possible that in cases with oversized fetuses the fetal limbs actually catch on the uterine wall and the continued vigorous movements rotate the entire uterus. Although the incidence ofleft side torsions correlates well with the expected incidence of right horn pregnancies, it is interesting to postulate that the preponderance of left side torsions may actually be due the limbs of a large fetus bracing against the rumen wall and "walking'' the uterus down to the left. Another potential traction point is the strong prepubic tendon directly below the uterus. An alternate explanation is that right side torsions may often self-correct. However, if a left side torsion develops, the uterus may become trapped by the rumen. Uterine torsion is ultimately of fetal origin, and there is no evidence to suggest that an affected animal is predisposed to the condition in subsequent pregnancies.

description: Objective: To analyze medical costs and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) associated with everolimus-based therapy or chemotherapy among post-menopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive, human-epidermal-growth-factor-receptor-2-negative (HR+/HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Methods: Patients with HR+/HER2− mBC who discontinued a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor and began a new line of treatment with everolimus-based therapy or chemotherapy (index therapy/index date) between July 20, 2012 and April 30, 2014 were identified from two large claims databases. All-cause, BC-related, and adverse event (AE)-related medical costs (in 2014 USD) and all-cause HRU per patient per month (PPPM) were analyzed for both treatment groups across patients’ first four lines of therapies for mBC. Adjusted differences in costs and HRU between the everolimus and chemotherapy treatment group were estimated pooling all lines and using multivariable generalized linear models, accounting for difference in patient characteristics. Results: A total of 3298 patients were included: 902 everolimus-treated patients and 2636 chemotherapy-treated patients. Compared to chemotherapy, everolimus was associated with significantly lower all-cause (adjusted mean difference = $3455, p p p p p p Conclusions: This retrospective claims database analysis of commercially-insured patients with HR+/HER2− mBC in the US showed that everolimus was associated with substantial all-cause, BC-related, and AE-related medical cost savings and less utilization of healthcare resources relative to chemotherapy.

description: In the search for realizations of Quantum Spin Liquids (QSL), it is essential to understand the interplay between inherent disorder and the correlated fluctuating spin ground state. H$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_6$ is regarded as a spin liquid proximate to the Kitaev-limit (KQSL) in which H zero-point motion and stacking faults are known to be present. Bond disorder has been invoked to account for the existence of unexpected low-energy spin excitations. Controversy remains about the nature of the underlying correlated state and if any KQSL physics survives. Here, we use resonant X-ray spectroscopies to map the collective excitations in H$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_6$ and characterize its magnetic state. We uncover a broad bandwidth and momentum-independent continuum of magnetic excitations at low temperatures that are distinct from the paramagnetic state. The center energy and high-energy tail of the continuum are consistent with expectations for dominant ferromagnetic Kitaev interactions between dynamically fluctuating spins. The absence of a momentum dependence to these excitations indicates a broken translational invariance. Our data support an interpretation of H$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_6$ as a disordered topological spin liquid in close proximity to bond-disordered versions of the KQSL. Our results shed light on how random disorder affects topological magnetic states and have implications for future experimental and theoretical works toward realizing the Kitaev model in condensed matter systems

description: Proactive cyber-risk assessment is gaining momentum due to the wide range of sectors that can benefit from the prevention of cyber-incidents by preserving integrity, confidentiality, and the availability of data. The rising attention to cybersecurity also results from the increasing connectivity of cyber-physical systems, which generates multiple sources of uncertainty about emerging cyber-vulnerabilities. This work introduces a robust statistical framework for quantitative and qualitative reasoning under uncertainty about cyber-vulnerabilities and their prioritisation. Specifically, we take advantage of mid-quantile regression to deal with ordinal risk assessments, and we compare it to current alternatives for cyber-risk ranking and graded responses. For this purpose, we identify a novel accuracy measure suited for rank invariance under partial knowledge of the whole set of existing vulnerabilities. The model is tested on both simulated and real data from selected databases that support the evaluation, exploitation, or response to cyber-vulnerabilities in realistic contexts. Such datasets allow us to compare multiple models and accuracy measures, discussing the implications of partial knowledge about cyber-vulnerabilities on threat intelligence and decision-making in operational scenarios.

description: We present elliptic flow ($v_2$) of identified hadrons at mid-rapidity ($|y| < 1.0$) in Au+Au collisions at $E_{lab} = 35\mathrm{~A~GeV}$ using the Parton Hadron String Dynamics (PHSD) model. Transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{T}$) dependence of identified hadron $v_2$ in minimum bias (0-80%) and three different centrality intervals (0-10%, 10-40%, and 40-80%) are presented. A clear centrality dependence of $v_2(p_\mathrm{T})$ is observed for particles and anti-particles in Au+Au collisions at $E_{lab} = 35\mathrm{~A~GeV}$. We also present $p_\mathrm{T}$ dependence of $v_2$ difference ($\mathrmΔ v_2$) between particles and corresponding antiparticles. A significant difference in $v_2$ values for baryons and anti-baryons is observed. The number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling of $v_2$ is discussed in Au+Au collisions at $E_{lab} = 35\mathrm{~A~GeV}$. We also present ratio of $v_2(p_\mathrm{T})$ between the HSD and PHSD modes to explore the effect of hadronic and partonic interactions in the medium. We observe higher $v_2$ in PHSD mode than the HSD mode, which suggests the formation of partonic medium in Au+Au collisions at $E_{lab} = 35\mathrm{~A~GeV}$. These predictions are useful for the interpretation of data measured in Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at RHIC and will be useful for the future Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).

The power of individual treatment-control comparisons in such trials can be improved by utilizing non-concurrent controls (NCC) in the analysis. We present the R-package NCC for the design and analysis of platform trials using non-concurrent controls. NCC allows for simulating platform trials and evaluating the properties of analysis methods that make use of non-concurrent controls in a variety of settings. We describe the main NCC functions and show how to use the package to simulate and analyse platform trials by means of specific examples.

description: Objectives: Atazanavir (ATV) and darunavir (DRV) are protease inhibitors approved for HIV treatment in combination with ritonavir (/r). The objectives of this study were to compare persistence (time to treatment discontinuation/modification), adherence, and healthcare costs among patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) initiating ATV/r or DRV/r. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used commercial and Medicaid administrative insurance claims data. Patients initiating ATV/r or DRV/r from 2006–2013 with continuous enrollment for ≥6 months before and ≥3 months after initiation were included. Patients were followed from initiation until discontinuation/modification (≥30 day gap in ATV or DRV or initiation of a new antiretroviral medication), during which time adherence (proportion of days covered [PDC], with PDC ≥80% or 95% considered adherent) and per-patient per-month (PPPM) total healthcare costs were measured. DRV/r patients were propensity score matched to ATV/r patients at a 1:1 ratio to achieve balance on potentially confounding demographic and clinical factors. Commercial and Medicaid samples were analyzed separately, as were antiretroviral (ART)-naïve and experienced patients. Results: The final samples comprised 2988 commercially-insured and 1158 Medicaid-insured patients. There were no significant differences in hazards of discontinuation/modification between the ATV/r or DRV/r cohorts. With respect to odds of being adherent, the only marginally significant result was comparing odds of achieving PDC ≥80% among ART-naïve Medicaid patients, which favored ATV/r. All other adherence comparisons were not significant. Although ATV/r cohorts tended to have lower PPPM costs, the majority of these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Patients with HIV treated with either ATV/r or DRV/r had similar time to treatment discontinuation/modification, adherence, and monthly healthcare costs. Results were similar across the pre-specified sub-groups. These findings are useful not only as an insight into clinical practice, but also as a resource for healthcare providers and payers evaluating treatment options for HIV+ individuals.

description: Femtocells are small, inexpensive, low power cell sites, which are used to improve indoor capaity and coverage. They are generally consumer deployed and are connected to their own wired broadband backhaul connections. A large number of femtocell deployments in long term evolution (LTE) networks are highly anticipated. One of the main technical challenges of LTE-femtocell networks is the handover between a femtocell and the macrocell due to non availability of direct communication links between femto eNBs and macro eNBs. Due to small femtocell coverage areas, frequent handovers between femtocells and macrocells take place. Therefore, a fast handover scheme using small signaling overhead is required for LTE-femtocell networks to support fast and seamless handovers. The S1-based handover scheme specified in the LTE standards for handover between eNBs, which are not directly connected through X2 interface, can also be used for handover between a femtocell and a macrocell. However, the latency of a S1-based handover increases significantly with the Internet delay as HeNBs are connected to eNBs through public Internet. In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient handover scheme to facilitate handovers between femtocells and macrocells. We also introduce a novel concept of the Temporary Area Partners (TAP) network, which consists of the mobile user equipment connected through device-to-device communication. Due to aforesaid TAP network, the proposed handover scheme will be more robust than the forward and S1-based handover schemes. Our delay performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme has much lower latency than the existing S1-based and forward handover schemes.

description: Despite the impressive performance of vision-based pose estimators, they generally fail to perform well under adverse vision conditions and often don't satisfy the privacy demands of customers. As a result, researchers have begun to study tactile sensing systems as an alternative. However, these systems suffer from noisy and ambiguous recordings. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel solution for pose estimation from ambiguous pressure data. Our method comprises a spatio-temporal vision transformer with an encoder-decoder architecture. Detailed experiments on two popular public datasets reveal that our model outperforms existing solutions in the area. Moreover, we observe that increasing the number of temporal crops in the early stages of the network positively impacts the performance while pre-training the network in a self-supervised setting using a masked auto-encoder approach also further improves the results.

description: Context: Anti-HER2 immunoliposomes are promising nanotechnology based systems for active targeting of breast tumors, which depends on the amount of incorporated antibody. Objective/Aim: In this work, we investigated the possible effect of lipid composition on the incorporation of trastuzumab-PEG-PE micelles into nanoliposomes and on their subsequent specific cellular targeting. Materials and methods: Trastuzumab (anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody) was monothiolated and conjugated to maleimide-PEG-PE micelles. Liposomes of different lipid compositions were prepared by the thin layer hydration. Trastuzumab-PEG-PE micelles were incorporated into the liposomes by the post-insertion method. The percentage of lipid mixing was determined based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Cellular binding and uptake of rhodamine-labeled immunoliposomes were studied in SKBR-3 (HER2+++) and MCF-7 (HER2+) cells. Also, antitumor cell activity of the immunoliposomes was compared to free trastuzumab and the liposomes. Results: The lipid mixing of trastuzumab-PEG-PE micelles depended on the liposome composition. The immunoliposomes containing DPPC, cholesterol and PEG-PE showed prominent lipid mixing. The lipid mixing was consistent with the cell binding results which showed an efficient and specific binding of the immunoliposomes to SKBR-3 cells. Antitumor cell activity of the immunoliposomes in SKBR-3, unlike MCF-7 cells, depended on the content of trastuzumab. Discussion: Cholesterol and PEG-PE in the liposome composition are prerequisites for a successful lipid mixing due to their ability to facilitate fusion. The higher lipid mixing results in higher antibody incorporation and consequently higher targeted cell binding. Conclusions: The lipid mixing depends on the liposome composition, which reflects targeted cell binding of the immunoliposomes.

description: Our group already demonstrated that europium hydroxide nanorods (EHNs) show none or mild toxicity in C57BL/6 mice even at high dose and exhibited excellent pro-angiogenic activity towards in vitro and in vivo models. In the present study, we evaluated the in vivo cytogenetic toxicity of intraperitoneally administered EHNs (12.5–250 mg/kg/b.w.) in male and female Swiss albino mice by analyzing chromosomal aberrations (CAs), mitotic index (MI), micronucleus (MN) from bone marrow and peripheral blood. Furthermore, we performed the cytogenetic toxicity study of EHNs towards Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, in order to compare with the in vivo results. The results of CA assay of mice treated with EHNs (12.5–125 mg/kg/b.w.) showed no significant change in the formation of aberrant metaphases compared to the control group. Also, there was no significant difference in the number of dividing cells between the control group and EHNs-treated groups observed by MI study, suggesting the non-cytotoxicity of EHNs. Additionally, FACS study revealed that EHNs do not arrest cells at any phase of cell cycle in the mouse model. Furthermore, MN test of both bone marrow and peripheral blood showed no significant differences in the induction of MNs when compared with the control group. In vitro results from CHO cells also support our in vivo observations. Considering the role of angiogenesis by EHNs and the absence of its genotoxicity in mouse model, we strongly believe the future application of EHNs in treating various diseases, where angiogenesis plays an important role such as cardiovascular diseases, ischemic diseases and wound healing.

description: We show that extremal Kerr black holes are sensitive probes of new physics. Stringy or quantum corrections to general relativity are expected to generate higher-curvature terms in the gravitational action. We show that in the presence of these terms, asymptotically flat extremal rotating black holes have curvature singularities on their horizon. Furthermore, near-extremal black holes can have large yet finite tidal forces for infalling observers. In addition, we consider five-dimensional extremal charged black holes and show that higher-curvature terms can have a large effect on the horizon geometry.

description: The essential oils from leaves, twigs and trunk bark of Onychopetalum amazonicum R.E. Fr. (Annonaceae), obtained by hydrodistillation, were analysed by GC and GC–MS, and also were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity. Forty-one compounds, which correspond to 75.0–92.2% of the oil components, were identified. Major compounds were sesquiterpenes, including (E)-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, spathulenol, α-gurjunene, allo-aromadendrene and α-epi-cadinol. The oils were evaluated for antimicrobial activities against four bacteria strains and five pathogenic fungi. The oil of the trunk bark exhibited good activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, Escherichia coli ATCC 10538 and Kocuria rhizophila ATCC 9341, with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 62.5 μg/mL. The essential oil composition and the antimicrobial evaluation are reported for the first time for the genus Onychopetalum.

description: Twenty distinct endophytic fungi were isolated from the surface-sterilized plant parts of Nymphaea nouchali and were identified using morphological and molecular techniques. At 300 µg/disc concentration, eight of the 20 fungal extracts exhibited antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Bacillus cereus (ATCC 11778) while two within the eight showed activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 35218). Furthermore, investigation of the crude extract of Chaetomium globosum resulted in the isolation of two known cytochalasans, chaetoglobosin A and C, and their structures were elucidated and confirmed by mass and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC and tROESY) spectral data. Chaetoglobosin A showed antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis (MIC 16 µg mL−1), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 32 µg mL−1) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, MIC 32 µg mL−1). This is the first study to report the isolation, identification and antimicrobial properties of endophytic fungi of N. nouchali in Sri Lanka.

description: Noisy hardware forms one of the main hurdles to the realization of a near-term quantum internet. Distillation protocols allows one to overcome this noise at the cost of an increased overhead. We consider here an experimentally relevant class of distillation protocols, which distill $n$ to $k$ end-to-end entangled pairs using bilocal Clifford operations, a single round of communication and a possible final local operation depending on the observed measurement outcomes. In the case of permutationally invariant depolarizing noise on the input states, we find a correspondence between these distillation protocols and graph codes. We leverage this correspondence to find provably optimal distillation protocols in this class for several tasks important for the quantum internet. This correspondence allows us to investigate use cases for so-called non-trivial measurement syndromes. Furthermore, we detail a recipe to construct the circuit used for the distillation protocol given a graph code. We use this to find circuits of short depth and small number of two-qubit gates. Additionally, we develop a black-box circuit optimization algorithm, and find that both approaches yield comparable circuits. Finally, we investigate the teleportation of encoded states and find protocols which jointly improve the rate and fidelities with respect to prior art.

description: We consider the problem of the development of steady states in one-dimensional Bose gas tubes that are weakly coupled to one another through a density-density interaction. We analyze this development through a Boltzmann collision integral approach. We argue that when the leading order of the collision integral, where single particle-hole excitations are created in individual gases, is dominant, the state of the gas evolves first to a non-thermal fixed point, i.e. a prethermalization plateau. This order is dominant when a pair of tubes are inequivalent with, say, different temperatures or different effective interaction parameters, $γ$. We characterize this non-thermal prethermalization plateau, constructing both the quasi-conserved quantities that control the existence of this plateau as well as the associated generalized Gibbs ensemble.

description: Background: Education level may vary in older cancer patients. This study aims to compare the measurement properties of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) when self-administered by breast cancer patients with various education levels. Methods: An observational study of 244 Singaporean breast cancer patients who self-administered the instrument. FACT-General and FACT-B scores were assessed for the discriminatory ability, responsiveness to change and test–retest reliability. We hypothesized that patients with better performance status would result in higher FACT-General and FACT-B scores. Regression models were constructed, and relative precisions were also examined. Results: The mean baseline FACT-General and FACT-B scores monotonically decreased with performance status in the higher but not lower educated group (relative precision = 1.13 and 1.08, respectively). Stronger responsiveness to deterioration in quality of life were found in the higher (each p p = 0.146 and 0.245). Larger intra-class correlation coefficient of the FACT scores (each p Conclusion: Measurement properties may be reduced when the instrument is self-administered by lower educated cancer patients.
