description: The biology of HIV-associated cancers may differ depending on immunologic and virologic context during development. Therefore, an understanding of the burden of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) relative to antiretroviral therapy (ART), virologic suppression, and CD4 count is important.

description: In the present article we propose a mixed-integer approximation of adjustable-robust optimization (ARO) problems, that have both, continuous and discrete variables on the lowest level. As these trilevel problems are notoriously hard to solve, we restrict ourselves to weakly-connected instances. Our approach allows us to approximate, and in some cases exactly represent, the trilevel problem as a single-level mixed-integer problem. This allows us to leverage the computational efficiency of state-of-the-art mixed-integer programming solvers. We demonstrate the value of this approach by applying it to the optimization of power systems, particularly to the control of smart converters.

description: Ultralight bosons are promising dark matter candidates and can trigger superradiant instabilities of spinning black holes (BHs), resulting in long-lived rotating "bosonic clouds" around the BHs and dissipating their energy through the emission of monochromatic gravitational waves (GWs). We focus on the scalar bosons minimally coupled with both isolated stellar-origin BHs (SBH) and their binary merger remnants, and perform Bayesian data analysis to search for the stochastic GW background from all the unstable modes that can trigger the superradiant instabilities using the data of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo's first three observing runs. We find no evidence for such signal, and hence rule out the scalar bosons within the mass range $[1.5, 16]\times10^{-13}$ eV, $[1.9, 8.3]\times10^{-13}$ eV and $[1.3, 17]\times10^{-13}$ eV at $95\%$ confidence level for isolated SBHs having a uniform dimensionless spin distribution in $[0,1]$, $[0,0.5]$ and $[0.5,1]$, respectively.

description: Recent observations of gaps and non-axisymmetric features in the dust distributions of transition disks have been interpreted as evidence of embedded massive protoplanets. However, comparing the predictions of planet-disk interaction models to the observed features has shown far from perfect agreement. This may be due to the strong approximations used for the predictions. For example, spiral arm fitting typically uses results that are based on low-mass planets in an isothermal gas. In this work, we describe two-dimensional, global, hydrodynamical simulations of disks with embedded protoplanets, with and without the assumption of local isothermality, for a range of planet-to-star mass ratios 1-10 M_jup for a 1 M_sun star. We use the Pencil Code in polar coordinates for our models. We find that the inner and outer spiral wakes of massive protoplanets (M>5 M_jup) produce significant shock heating that can trigger buoyant instabilities. These drive sustained turbulence throughout the disk when they occur. The strength of this effect depends strongly on the mass of the planet and the thermal relaxation timescale; for a 10 M_jup planet embedded in a thin, purely adiabatic disk, the spirals, gaps, and vortices typically associated with planet-disk interactions are disrupted. We find that the effect is only weakly dependent on the initial radial temperature profile. The spirals that form in disks heated by the effects we have described may fit the spiral structures observed in transition disks better than the spirals predicted by linear isothermal theory.

description: While silicon photonics has leveraged the nanofabrication tools and techniques from the microelectronics industry, it has also inherited the metrological methods from the same. Photonics fabrication is inherently different from microelectronics in its intrinsic sensitivity to 3D shape and geometry, especially in a high-index contrast platform like silicon-on-insulator. In this work, we show that electrical resistance measurements can in principle be used to infer the geometry of such nanophotonic structures and reconstruct the micro-loading curves of foundry etch processes. We implement our ideas to infer 3D geometries from a standard silicon photonics foundry and discuss some of the potential sources of error that need to be calibrated out to improve the reconstruction accuracy.

description: The propagation of electromagnetic waves in isotropic dielectric media with local dispersion is studied under the assumption of small but nonvanishing $λ/l$, where $λ$ is the wavelength, and $l$ is the characteristic inhomogeneity scale. It is commonly known that, due to nonzero $λ/l$, such waves can experience polarization-driven bending of ray trajectories and polarization dynamics that can be interpreted as the precession of the wave "spin". The present work reports how Lagrangians describing these effects can be deduced, rather than guessed, within a strictly classical theory. In addition to the commonly known ray Lagrangian featuring the Berry connection, a simple alternative Lagrangian is proposed that naturally has a canonical form. The presented theory captures not only eigenray dynamics but also the dynamics of continuous wave fields and rays with mixed polarization, or "entangled" waves. The calculation assumes stationary lossless media with isotropic local dispersion, but generalizations to other media are straightforward to do.

description: In this paper we start from the Schrödinger equation to revisit some classical quantum mechanics from the perspective of phase transition process. Here the relativistic effect of particles moving at high speed can be regarded as the phase transition process when the velocity variable increases. Considering that the catastrophe models could describe qualitatively any phase transition process, we adopt the simplest folding catastrophe type as the potential function in the Schrödinger equation to obtain a revised Schrödinger relativistic equation through the dimensionless analysis first, and then further to derive out the steady-state Klein-Gordon equation and Dirac relativistic equation gradually. These results reveal that the quantum relativistic effect could be considered as the phase transition process, which could be described by adopting the catastrophe models as the potential function in the classical Schrödinger equation.

description: We investigate the pair production of right-handed neutrinos from the decay of a light $B-L$ scalar in the $U(1)_{B-L}$ model. The $B-L$ scalar mixes to the SM Higgs, and the physical scalar is required to be lighter than the observed Higgs. The produced right-handed neutrinos are predicted to be long-lived according to the type-I seesaw mechanism, and yield potentially distinct signatures such as displaced vertex and time-delayed leptons at the CMS/ATLAS/LHCb, as well as signatures at the far detectors including the CODEX-b, FACET, FASER, MoEDAL-MAPP and MATHUSLA. We analyze the sensitivity reach at the HL-LHC for the right-handed neutrinos with masses of 2.5 $\sim$ 30 GeV, showing that the active-sterile mixing to muons can be probed to $V_{μN} \sim 10^{-5}$ at the CMS/ATLAS/LHCb using the displaced vertex searches, and one magnitude lower at the MATHUSLA/CMS using time-delayed leptons searches, reaching the parameter space interesting for type-I seesaw mechanisms.

description: Benchmarks for language-guided embodied agents typically assume text-based instructions, but deployed agents will encounter spoken instructions. While Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models can bridge the input gap, erroneous ASR transcripts can hurt the agents' ability to complete tasks. In this work, we propose training a multimodal ASR model to reduce errors in transcribing spoken instructions by considering the accompanying visual context. We train our model on a dataset of spoken instructions, synthesized from the ALFRED task completion dataset, where we simulate acoustic noise by systematically masking spoken words. We find that utilizing visual observations facilitates masked word recovery, with multimodal ASR models recovering up to 30% more masked words than unimodal baselines. We also find that a text-trained embodied agent successfully completes tasks more often by following transcribed instructions from multimodal ASR models. github.com/Cylumn/embodied-multimodal-asr

description: With an increasing number of experiments observing phonon thermal Hall effect in magnets, it is theoretically desired to have a minimal model for the phonon thermal Hall effect. In this work, we study a simple model of acoustic phonons and uncorrelated paramagnetic doublets. When the doublets are non-Kramers, a linear pseudospin-phonon coupling is allowed by time-reversal symmetry and yields resonant phonon-pseudospin scattering. We compute the thermal longitudinal and Hall conductivities of the model and found qualitative agreement with recent experiments in $\rm{Pr}_2\rm{Ir}_2\rm{O}_7$ [Uehara et al.,Nat Commun 13, 4604 (2022)].

description: Physical reservoir computing is a framework for brain-inspired information processing that utilizes nonlinear and high-dimensional dynamics in non-von-Neumann systems. In recent years, spintronic devices have been proposed for use as physical reservoirs, but their practical application remains a major challenge, mainly because thermal noise prevents them from retaining short-term memory, the essence of neuromorphic computing. Here, we propose a framework for spintronic physical reservoirs that exploits frequency domain dynamics in interacting spins. Through the effective use of frequency filters, we demonstrate, for a model of frustrated magnets, both robustness to thermal fluctuations and feasibility of frequency division multiplexing. This scheme can be coupled with parallelization in spatial domain even down to the level of a single spin, yielding a vast number of spatiotemporal computational units. Furthermore, the nonlinearity via the exchange interaction allows information processing among different frequency threads. Our findings establish a design principle for high-performance spintronic reservoirs with the potential for highly integrated devices.

description: Error correction models form an important part of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) post-processing to improve the readability and quality of transcriptions. Most prior works use the 1-best ASR hypothesis as input and therefore can only perform correction by leveraging the context within one sentence. In this work, we propose a novel N-best T5 model for this task, which is fine-tuned from a T5 model and utilizes ASR N-best lists as model input. By transferring knowledge from the pre-trained language model and obtaining richer information from the ASR decoding space, the proposed approach outperforms a strong Conformer-Transducer baseline. Another issue with standard error correction is that the generation process is not well-guided. To address this a constrained decoding process, either based on the N-best list or an ASR lattice, is used which allows additional information to be propagated.

Distortions produced in optical homodyne tomography

description: An analysis of the homodyne tomography process that is often used to determine the Wigner functions of quantum optical states is performed to consider the effects of the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom. The homodyne tomography process removes those parts of the input state that are not associated with the mode of the local oscillator by tracing out those degrees of freedom. Using a functional approach to incorporate all the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom, we find that this reduction in the degrees of freedom introduces distortions in the observed Wigner function. The analysis also shows how the homodyne tomography process introduces a resolution that depends on the strength of the local oscillator. As examples, we consider coherent states, Fock states and squeezed vacuum states.

description: We analyze the angular momenta of massive star forming galaxies (SFGs) at the peak of the cosmic star formation epoch (z~0.8-2.6). Our sample of ~360 log(M*/Msun) ~ 9.3-11.8 SFGs is mainly based on the KMOS3D and SINS/zC-SINF surveys of H$α$ kinematics, and collectively provides a representative subset of the massive star forming population. The inferred halo scale angular momentum distribution is broadly consistent with that theoretically predicted for their dark matter halos, in terms of mean spin parameter ~ 0.037 and its dispersion ($σ_{log(λ)}$~0.2). Spin parameters correlate with the disk radial scale, and with their stellar surface density, but do not depend significantly on halo mass, stellar mass, or redshift. Our data thus support the long-standing assumption that on average, even at high redshifts, the specific angular momentum of disk galaxies reflects that of their dark matter halos (j_d = j_DM). The lack of correlation between $λ$ x (j_d/j_DM) and the nuclear stellar density $Σ_{*}$(1kpc) favors a scenario where disk-internal angular momentum redistribution leads to "compaction" inside massive high-redshift disks. For our sample, the inferred average stellar-to-dark matter mass ratio is ~2%, consistent with abundance matching results. Including the molecular gas, the total baryonic disk-to-dark matter mass ratio is ~5% for halos near $10^{12}$ Msun, which corresponds to 31% of the cosmologically available baryons, implying that high-redshift disks are strongly baryon dominated.

description: We present first-principles results on the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of a new family of two-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) manganese chalcogenides, namely monolayer MnX and Janus XMnY (X, Y= S, Se, Te), among which monolayer MnSe was recently synthesized in experiments [\href{https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsnano.1c05532}{ACS Nano 15 (8),13794 (2021)}]. By carrying out calculations of the phonon dispersion and \textit{ab-initio} molecular dynamics simulations, we first confirmed that these systems, characterized by an unconventional strongly coupled bilayer atomic structure (consisting of Mn atoms buckled to chalcogens forming top and bottom ferromagnetic (FM) planes with antiparallel spin orientation) are dynamically and thermally stable. The analysis of the the magnetic properties shows that these materials have robust AFM order, retaining a much lower energy than the FM state even for under strain. Our electronic structure calculations reveal that pristine MnX and their Janus counterparts are indirect-gap semiconductors, covering a wide energy range and displaying tunable band gaps by the application of biaxial tensile and compressive strain. Interestingly, owing to the absence of inversion and time-reversal symmetry, and the presence of an asymmetrical potential in the out-of-plane direction, Janus XMnY become spin-split gapped systems, presenting a rich physics yet to be explored. Our findings provide novel insights in this physics, and highlight the potential for these two-dimensional manganese chalcogenides in AFM spintronics.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) represent an exciting frontier in the study of gravitational lensing, due to their brightness, extragalactic nature, and the compact, coherent characteristics of their emission. In a companion work [Kader, Leung+2022], we use a novel interferometric method to search for gravitationally lensed FRBs in the time domain using bursts detected by CHIME/FRB. There, we dechannelize and autocorrelate electric field data at a time resolution of 1.25 ns. This enables a search for FRBs whose emission is coherently deflected by gravitational lensing around a foreground compact object such as a primordial black hole (PBH). Here, we use our non-detection of lensed FRBs to place novel constraints on the PBH abundance outside the Local Group. We use a novel two-screen model to take into account decoherence from scattering screens in our constraints. Our constraints are subject to a single astrophysical model parameter -- the effective distance between an FRB source and the scattering screen, for which we adopt a fiducial distance of 1 parsec. We find that coherent FRB lensing is a sensitive probe of sub-solar mass compact objects. Having observed no lenses in $172$ bursts from $114$ independent sightlines through the cosmic web, we constrain the fraction of dark matter made of compact objects, such as PBHs, to be $f \lesssim 0.8$, if their masses are $\sim 10^{-3} M_{\odot}$.

description: Cryogenic microsystems that utilize different 3D integration techniques are being actively developed, e.g., for the needs of quantum technologies. 3D integration can introduce opportunities and challenges to the thermal management of low temperature devices. In this work, we investigate sub-1 K inter-chip thermal resistance of a flip-chip bonded assembly, where two silicon chips are interconnected by compression bonding via indium bumps. The total thermal contact area between the chips is 0.306 mm$^2$ and we find that the temperature dependence of the inter-chip thermal resistance follows the power law of $αT^{-3}$, with $α= 7.7-15.4$ K$^4$$μ$m$^2$/nW. The $T^{-3}$ relation indicates phononic interfacial thermal resistance, which is supported by the vanishing contribution of the electrons to the thermal conduction, due to the superconducting interconnections. Such a thermal resistance value can introduce a thermalization bottleneck in particular at cryogenic temperatures. This can be detrimental for some applications, yet it can also be harnessed. We provide an example of both cases by estimating the parasitic overheating of a cryogenic flip-chip assembly operated under various heat loads as well as simulate the performance of solid-state junction microrefrigerators utilizing the observed thermal isolation.

description: The gravitational field of compact objects, such as primordial black holes, can create multiple images of background sources. For transients such as fast radio bursts (FRBs), these multiple images can be resolved in the time domain. Under certain circumstances, these images not only have similar burst morphologies but are also phase-coherent at the electric field level. With a novel dechannelization algorithm and a matched filtering technique, we search for repeated copies of the same electric field waveform in observations of FRBs detected by the FRB backend of the Canadian Hydrogen Mapping Intensity Experiment (CHIME). An interference fringe from a coherent gravitational lensing signal will appear in the time-lag domain as a statistically-significant peak in the time-lag autocorrelation function. We calibrate our statistical significance using telescope data containing no FRB signal. Our dataset consists of $\sim$100-ms long recordings of voltage data from 172 FRB events, dechannelized to 1.25-ns time resolution. This coherent search algorithm allows us to search for gravitational lensing signatures from compact objects in the mass range of $10^{-4}-10^{4} ~\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$. After ruling out an anomalous candidate due to diffractive scintillation, we find no significant detections of gravitational lensing in the 172 FRB events that have been analyzed. In a companion work [Leung, Kader+2022], we interpret the constraints on dark matter from this search.

description: In recent years, methods for Bayesian inference have been widely used in many different problems in physics where detection and characterization are necessary. Data analysis in gravitational-wave astronomy is a prime example of such a case. Bayesian inference has been very successful because this technique provides a representation of the parameters as a posterior probability distribution, with uncertainties informed by the precision of the experimental measurements. During the last couple of decades, many specific advances have been proposed and employed in order to solve a large variety of different problems. In this work, we present a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that integrates many of those concepts into a single MCMC package. For this purpose, we have built {\tt Eryn}, a user-friendly and multipurpose toolbox for Bayesian inference, which can be utilized for solving parameter estimation and model selection problems, ranging from simple inference questions, to those with large-scale model variation requiring trans-dimensional MCMC methods, like the LISA global fit problem. In this paper, we describe this sampler package and illustrate its capabilities on a variety of use cases.

description: CALGB 49907 showed the superiority of standard therapy, which included either cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin (AC) or cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil over single-agent capecitabine in the treatment of patients age ≥ 65 with early-stage breast cancer. The treatment allowed dosing adjustments of methotrexate and capecitabine for pretreatment renal function. The purpose of the current analysis was to assess the relationship between pretreatment renal function and five end points: toxicity, dose modification, therapy completion, relapse-free survival, and overall survival.

description: The past ten years have seen the advent of silicon-based precise timing detectors for charged particle tracking. The underlying reason for this evolution is a design innovation: the Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD). In its simplicity, the LGAD design is an obvious step with momentous consequences: low gain leads to large signals maintaining sensors stability and low noise, allowing sensor segmentation. Albeit introduced for a different reason, to compensate for charge trapping in irradiated silicon sensors, LGAD found fertile ground in the design of silicon-based timing detectors. Spurred by this design innovation, solid-state-based timing detectors for charged particles are going through an intense phase of R&D, and hybrid and monolithic sensors, with or without internal gain, are being explored. This contribution offers a review of this booming field.

description: The increasing interest in understanding stellar magnetic activity cycles is a strong motivation for the development of parameterized starspot models which can be constrained observationally. In this work we develop an empirical tool for the stochastic reconstruction of sunspot cycles, using the average solar properties as a reference. The synthetic sunspot cycle is compared with the sunspot data extracted from the National Geophysical Data Center, in particular using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. This tool yields synthetic spot group records, including date, area, latitude, longitude, rotation rate of the solar surface at the group's latitude, and an identification number. Comparison of the stochastic reconstructions with the daily sunspot records confirms that our empirical model is able to successfully reproduce the main properties of the solar sunspot cycle. As a by-product of this work, we show that the Gnevyshev-Waldmeier rule, which describes the spots' area-lifetime relation, is not adequate for small groups and we propose an effective correction to that relation which leads to a closer agreement between the synthetic sunspot cycle and the observations.

Defect absorption and emission for $p$-atic liquid crystals on cones

description: We investigate the ground state configurations of $p$-atic liquid crystals on fixed curved surfaces. We focus on the intrinsic geometry and show that isothermal coordinates are particularly convenient as they explicitly encode a geometric contribution to the elastic potential. In the special case of a cone with half-angle $β$, the apex develops an effective topological charge of $-χ$, where $2πχ= 2π(1-\sinβ)$ is the deficit angle of the cone, and a topological defect of charge $σ$ behaves as if it had an effective topological charge $Q_\mathrm{eff} = (σ- σ^2/2)$ when interacting with the apex. The effective charge of the apex leads to defect absorption and emission at the cone apex as the deficit angle of the cone is varied. For total topological defect charge 1, e.g. imposed by tangential boundary conditions at the edge, we find that for a disk the ground state configuration consists of $p$ defects each of charge $+1/p$ lying equally spaced on a concentric ring of radius $d = (\frac{p-1}{3p-1})^{\frac{1}{2p}} R$, where $R$ is the radius of the disk. In the case of a cone with tangential boundary conditions at the base, we find three types of ground state configurations as a function of cone angle: (1) for sharp cones, all of the $+1/p$ defects are absorbed by the apex; (2) at intermediate cone angles, some of the $+1/p$ defects are absorbed by the apex and the rest lie equally spaced along a concentric ring on the flank; and (3) for nearly flat cones, all of the $+1/p$ defects lie equally spaced along a concentric ring on the flank. Here the defect positions and the absorption transitions depend intricately on $p$ and the deficit angle which we analytically compute. We check these results with numerical simulations for a set of commensurate cone angles and find excellent agreement.

Supersoft Supersymmetry, Conformal Sequestering, and Single Scale Supersymmetry Breaking

description: Supersymmetric Standard Models (SSMs) with Dirac gauginos have the appealing supersoft property that they only cause finite contributions to scalar masses. Considering gauge mediated SUSY breaking with conformal sequestering and assuming there is one and only one fundamental parameter with dimension mass arising from supersymmetry breaking, we find a cancellation between the dominant terms that contribute to the EWFT. The resulting EWFT measure can be of order one even for supersymmetric particle masses and $μ$-terms in the TeV range.

We study the properties of the topologically protected edge states, and develop an effective two-state analytical description of the system that accurately predicts the PT-symmetry breaking point for the edge states. We verify our analytical results by exact numerical calculations.

description: Root-mean-square charge radii are discussed in terms of spherical Energy Density Functional (EDF) models corrected for quadrupole deformations. Comparisons between experiment and theory are made for the absolute radii of all even-even nuclei, for the isotonic shift between cadmium and tin isotopes, the isotopic shifts of the calcium isotopes and the isotonic shift for nuclei with $ N=28 $. We conclude that the data are well described in this approach, except for the sharp rise just after the neutron magic numbers.

description: There is substantial concern surrounding affordability of orally administered anticancer therapies, particularly for Medicare beneficiaries. We examined rates of initiation and adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) among Medicare beneficiaries with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with and without cost-sharing subsidies. We selected TKIs given their effectiveness and strong indication for use among patients diagnosed with CML.
