description: Background: To demonstrate pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity of PF-06438179/GP1111, a potential biosimilar to Remicade®, to Remicade® sourced from European Union (infliximab-EU) and United States (infliximab-US), and of infliximab-EU to infliximab-US. Methods: In this phase I, parallel-group, three-arm trial, healthy adult subjects were randomized to receive a single 10-mg/kg intravenous infusion of PF-06438179/GP1111, infliximab-EU, or infliximab-US. PK, and safety and immunogenicity evaluations were performed over 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. PK similarity was established if the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the test-to-reference ratios for PK parameters, Cmax, AUCT, and AUCinf, were within the 80.00–125.00% pre-specified equivalence window. Results: Of 151 subjects randomized, 146 received study treatment; 130 were eligible for PK similarity assessment. Serum concentration–time profiles were similar across the three treatments. The 90% CIs for test-to-reference ratios for Cmax, AUCT, and AUCinf were within 80.00–125.00% for comparison of PF-06438179/GP1111 to infliximab-EU and infliximab-US, and of infliximab-EU to infliximab-US. Similar numbers of subjects across treatment groups experienced adverse events. Anti-drug and neutralizing antibody profiles were largely similar among groups. Conclusions: This study demonstrated PK similarity of PF-06438179/GP1111 to infliximab-EU and infliximab-US, and of infliximab-EU to infliximab-US. All three products displayed comparable safety and immunogenicity profiles. Trial registration: CT.gov identifier NCT01844804
Automated Algorithm Selection on Continuous Black-Box Problems By Combining Exploratory Landscape Analysis and Machine Learning

description: In this paper, we build upon previous work on designing informative and efficient Exploratory Landscape Analysis features for characterizing problems' landscapes and show their effectiveness in automatically constructing algorithm selection models in continuous black-box optimization problems. Focussing on algorithm performance results of the COCO platform of several years, we construct a representative set of high-performing complementary solvers and present an algorithm selection model that - compared to the portfolio's single best solver - on average requires less than half of the resources for solving a given problem. Therefore, there is a huge gain in efficiency compared to classical ensemble methods combined with an increased insight into problem characteristics and algorithm properties by using informative features. Acting on the assumption that the function set of the Black-Box Optimization Benchmark is representative enough for practical applications the model allows for selecting the best suited optimization algorithm within the considered set for unseen problems prior to the optimization itself based on a small sample of function evaluations. Note that such a sample can even be reused for the initial population of an evolutionary (optimization) algorithm so that even the feature costs become negligible.

description:
Police-initiated diversion programs are an increasingly common intervention to prevent excessive arrests of vulnerable populations. This systematic literature review carefully examined the current state of research to evaluate what is known about these programs and to determine the next steps for the field. Health, human services, legal, and criminal justice databases were searched for empirical research on police-initiated pre-arrest diversion of adults from 2000 to the present, resulting in 47 relevant studies for the review. The study designs, analyses, and findings are described. Overall, police diversion programs were associated with reducing recidivism and lowering costs, although there is little association between program participation and improved behavioral health. More in-depth qualitative and quasi-experimental research is needed. Police diversion programs can be seen as one major social justice strategy to reduce dependence on mass incarceration to resolve social problems.

description: Transverse momentum spectra of direct (prompt) photons from two-body processes in high-energy proton-proton (p+p) collisions are analyzed in this paper. We collected the experimental invariant cross-sections at mid-rapidity in p+p collisions measured by the UA6, CCOR, R806, R110, PHENIX, NA24, CMS, ALICE, and ATLAS Collaborations over a center-of-mass energy range from 24.3 GeV to 13 TeV. In fitting the data, we used different kinds of functions which include the revised Tsallis--Pareto-type function (the TP-like function) at the particle level, the convolution of two TP-like functions at the quark level, and the root-sum-of-squares of two revised Tsallis-like functions in which the quark chemical potentials $μ_i=μ_B/3$ or $μ_i=0$, where $μ_B$ is the baryon chemical potential. We have extracted the values of three main free parameters: the effective temperature $T$, power index $n_0$ (or entropy index $q$), and correction index $a_0$. After analyzing the changing trends of the parameters, we found that $T$, $q$, and $a_0$ increase and $n_0$ decreases with the increase of collision energy. Based on the analyses of transverse momentum spectra, an energy independent scaling, i.e. the $x_T$ scaling, is obtained.

The Large Number Limit of Multifield Inflation

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We compute the tensor and scalar spectral index $n_t$, $n_s$, the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$, the consistency relation $n_t/r$ in the general monomial multifield slow-roll inflation models with potentials $V \sim\sum_iλ_i \left|ϕ_i\right|^{p_i}$. The general models give a novel relation that $n_t$, $n_s$ and $n_t/r$ are all proportional to the logarithm of the number of fields $N_f$ when $N_f$ is getting extremely large with the order of magnitude around $\mathcal{O}(10^{40})$. An upper bound $N_f\lesssim N_*e^{ZN_*}$ is given by requiring the slow variation parameter small enough where $N_*$ is the e-folding number and $Z$ is a function of distributions of $λ_i$ and $p_i$. Besides, $n_t/r$ differs from the single-field result $-1/8$ with substantial probability except for a few very special cases. Finally, we derive theoretical bounds $r>2/N_*$ ($r\gtrsim0.03$) and for $n_t$ which can be tested by observation in the near future.

description: This story is about my uncle, Bernard Gibbons Clarke, who was a radio officer in the Merchant Navy. I have written his history. He served on a number of ships, including Blair Devon, Empire Mariner, Benmohr, Christine Marie, Fort Meductic, Ocean Gypsy, and Fort Missanabie. I believe the first few ships were part of the Atlantic Convoy. The first ship he served on was the Denbydale, a tanker that sank in Gibraltar harbour by Italian mini-submarines. The Ocean Gypsy was in the Arctic Convoy (JW55B), in December 1943. This was the convoy involved in the Battle of the North Cape, which destroyed the German battleship Scharnhorst. He came home on leave after the Arctic Convoy and joined the Fort Missanabie. We have the last letter he wrote to his sister - my mum - which he wrote in Liverpool. It describes his last day on shore, he went to the cinema, then set off to Liverpool. The letter also mentions his experiences on the Russian Convoys, and I have his Artic Star medal.SS. Fort Missanabie was built in Canada. So he went to the Mediterranean and was in convoy HA43 - Taranto to Augusta. The ship was torpedoed on 19th May 1944 by the U-boat U453 off Sicily. Bernand and 11 other crew members were lost, and 48 crew survived. Bernard is commemorated on the Merchant Navy War Memorial in Tower Hill, London. It says: 1939-1945. The twenty-four thousand of the Merchant Navy and fishing fleets whose names are honoured on the walls of this garden gave their lives for their country and have no grave but the sea.He is also commemorated on the war memorial in the churchyard at Aylsham. After the war, I asked an artist to paint a picture of all the ships Uncle Bernard served on. It includes the correct signal flags. I call it 'The Ghost Fleet', although it doesn't include the Denbydale as there is no image of that - I believe it was sunk in Gibraltar harbour on its maiden voyage.

description: The Householder transformation, allowing a rewrite of probabilities into expectations of dichotomic observables, is generalized in terms of its spectral decomposition. The dichotomy is modulated by allowing more than one negative eigenvalue or by abandoning binaries altogether, yielding generalized operator-valued arguments for contextuality. We also discuss a form of contextuality by the variation of the functional relations of the operators, in particular by additivity.

description: Vesicomyid clams in the subfamily Pliocardiinae are chemosymbiotic and specific to deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems with wide geographic and bathymetric ranges, making them a good model to study molecular adaptation and biogeography. The phylogeny of Pliocardiinae, however, still remains highly contentious due to limited molecular markers. Here, we elucidate the evolutionary relationships among pliocardiine species through a combination of mitogenome-based and genomics-based reconstructions. By testing a wide range of methods including maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, Bayesian interference, and coalescent approach, we present a robust phylogenetic tree supported by the AU-test and GLS analyses. We revise the genus-level taxonomy of pliocardiines based on this tree, merging a number of genera in the ‘gigas-group’ into Archivesica. Our fossil-calibrated tree reveals that Pliocardiinae originated around 42.33 Ma in the Middle Eocene, similar to other chemosynthetic bivalves such as bathymodioline mussels. Diversifications of this subfamily appears to be concurrent with global climatic cooling events, though the reason remains unclear. Ancestral state reconstruction analyses found two independent invasions into the abyssal zone, a shift from lineages harboring the Ca. Ruthia symbionts to Ca. Vesicomyosocius symbionts, and a likely Western Pacific Ocean origin. Our results present a solid backbone for the future investigations into molecular adaptation, biogeography, and symbiosis in this fascinating group of molluscs.

description: Deep neural network (DNN) based approaches have been intensively studied to improve video quality thanks to their fast advancement in recent years. These approaches are designed mainly for desktop devices due to their high computational cost. However, with the increasing performance of mobile devices in recent years, it became possible to execute DNN based approaches in mobile devices. Despite having the required computational power, utilizing DNNs to improve the video quality for mobile devices is still an active research area. In this paper, we propose an open-source mobile platform, namely MoViDNN, to evaluate DNN based video quality enhancement methods, such as super-resolution, denoising, and deblocking. Our proposed platform can be used to evaluate the DNN based approaches both objectively and subjectively. For objective evaluation, we report common metrics such as execution time, PSNR, and SSIM. For subjective evaluation, Mean Score Opinion (MOS) is reported. The proposed platform is available publicly at https://github.com/cd-athena/MoViDNN

description: The Nakamura number is an appropriate invariant of a simple game to study the existence of social equilibria and the possibility of cycles. For symmetric quota games its number can be obtained by an easy formula. For some subclasses of simple games the corresponding Nakamura number has also been characterized. However, in general, not much is known about lower and upper bounds depending of invariants on simple, complete or weighted games. Here, we survey such results and highlight connections with other game theoretic concepts.

description: As the video streaming traffic in mobile networks is increasing, improving the content delivery process becomes crucial, e.g., by utilizing edge computing support. At an edge node, we can deploy adaptive bitrate (ABR) algorithms with a better understanding of network behavior and access to radio and player metrics. In this work, we present ECAS-ML, Edge Assisted Adaptation Scheme for HTTP Adaptive Streaming with Machine Learning. ECAS-ML focuses on managing the tradeoff among bitrate, segment switches, and stalls to achieve a higher quality of experience (QoE). For that purpose, we use machine learning techniques to analyze radio throughput traces and predict the best parameters of our algorithm to achieve better performance. The results show that ECAS-ML outperforms other client-based and edge-based ABR algorithms.

All the synthesized novel compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS spectroscopic data and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. The antibacterial activity screened against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and used standard reference drug ciprofloxacin. The antifungal activity screened against two pathogenic fungal strains Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans used a reference standard drug Voriconazole. All these compounds (6a–j) demonstrate good antibacterial and antifungal activity. Among them, compounds 6h and 6c show highest antibacterial and antifungal activity.

description: The mass distribution of stellar mass black holes can provide important clues to supernova modeling, but observationally it is still ill constrained. Therefore it is of importance to make black hole mass measurements as accurate as possible. The X-ray transient 1A 0620-00 is well studied, with a published black hole mass of $6.61\pm0.25\,$M$_{\odot}$, based on an orbital inclination $i$ of $51.0\pm0.9$ degrees. This was obtained by Cantrell et al. (2010), as an average of independent fits to $V$-, $I$- and $H$-band light curves. In this work we perform an independent check on the value of $i$ by re-analyzing existing YALO/SMARTS $V$-, $I$- and $H$-band photometry, using different modeling software and fitting strategy. Performing a fit to the three light curves simultaneously, we obtain a value for $i$ of $54.1\pm1.1$ degrees, resulting in a black hole mass of $5.86\pm0.24\,$M$_{\odot}$. Applying the same model to the light curves individually, we obtain $58.2\pm1.9$, $53.6\pm1.6$ and $50.5\pm2.2$ degrees for $V$-, $I$- and $H$-band, respectively, where the differences in best-fitting $i$ are caused by the contribution of the residual accretion disc light in the three different bands. We conclude that the mass determination of this black hole may still be subject to systematic effects exceeding the statistical uncertainty. Obtaining more accurate masses would be greatly helped by continuous phase-resolved spectroscopic observations simultaneous with photometry.

description: Open classical and quantum systems have attracted great interest in the past two decades. These include systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with parity-time $(\mathcal{PT})$ symmetry that are best understood as systems with balanced, separated gain and loss. Here, we present an alternative way to characterize and derive conserved quantities, or intertwining operators, in such open systems. As a consequence, we also obtain non-Hermitian or Hermitian operators whose expectations values show single exponential time dependence. By using a simple example of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dimer that arises in two distinct physical realizations, we demonstrate our procedure for static Hamiltonians and generalize it to time-periodic (Floquet) cases where intertwining operators are stroboscopically conserved. Inspired by the Lindblad density matrix equation, our approach provides a useful addition to the well-established methods for characterizing time-invariants in non-Hermitian systems.

We consider compact and non-compact gauge groups, $SO(4-p,p)$, for $p=0,1,2$, and find a number of $AdS_5\times Σ$ solutions with $SO(2)\times SO(2)$ and $SO(2)_{\text{diag}}$ residual symmetry from $SO(4)$ and $SO(2,2)$ gauge groups. We also find an $SO(2)_R\subset SO(3)_R\sim SU(2)_R$ symmetric solution which can be regarded as a solution of pure $N=2$ gauged supergravity with $SO(3)_R$ gauge group and all the fields from vector multiplets vanishing. The solutions preserve $\frac{1}{2}$ of the original $N=2$ supersymmetry and could be interpreted as supergravity duals of $N=1$ superconformal field theories in four dimensions. In particular, some of these solutions can be embedded in ten or eleven dimensions in which a description in terms of five-branes wrapped on a topological disk can be given.

In addition, sterically encumbered sulfoxides have been studied and found that the present protocol is the worthy choice. This facile method does not require either inert atmosphere or anhydrous solvents.

description: We study the electronic state of an inverse spinel compound MnMg$_{2}$O$_{4}$ based on first-principles calculations. The high-spin state is realized in Mn ions on the diamond lattice, resulting in that this material is found to be a half-metallic semimetal with the minority spin-gap about 3eV, and also with line nodes in the Brillouin zone. The intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) is also computed as a function of the chemical potential of the system assuming the rigid band structure, and is found to exhibit a peak structure with a maximum value of 200 S/cm at only 15 meV above the Fermi level. The relation between the large AHC and Berry curvature in the Brillouin zone is also discussed.

We propose an original presentation of the results which facilitates the comparison of the various models with the spectrum obtained by lattice QCD. This comparison allows to draw some phenomenological conclusions.

description: After observing WASP-12 in the second year of the primary mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) revisited the system in late 2021 during its extended mission. In this paper, we incorporate the new TESS photometry into a reanalysis of the transits, secondary eclipses, and phase curve. We also present a new $K_s$-band occultation observation of WASP-12b obtained with the Palomar/Wide-field Infrared Camera instrument. The latest TESS photometry spans three consecutive months, quadrupling the total length of the TESS WASP-12 light curve and extending the overall time baseline by almost two years. Based on the full set of available transit and occultation timings, we find that the orbital period is shrinking at a rate of $-29.81 \pm 0.94$ ms yr$^{-1}$. The additional data also increase the measurement precision of the transit depth, orbital parameters, and phase-curve amplitudes. We obtain a secondary eclipse depth of $466 \pm 35$ ppm, a $2σ$ upper limit on the nightside brightness of 70 ppm, and a marginal $6\overset{\circ}{.}2 \pm 2\overset{\circ}{.}8$ eastward offset between the dayside hotspot and the substellar point. The voluminous TESS dataset allows us to assess the level of atmospheric variability on timescales of days, months, and years. We do not detect any statistically significant modulations in the secondary eclipse depth or day-night brightness contrast. Likewise, our measured $K_s$-band occultation depth of $2810 \pm 390$ ppm is consistent with most $\sim$2.2 $μ$m observations in the literature.

We find that the critical adiabatic dimension $μ=2$ and the critical exponent of the correlation length $ν=1$ for arbitrary $α>0$, indicating all quantum phase transitions are second-order Ising transitions. In addition, we numerically determine the complete phase diagram for $0 < α\le 3$ from the data collapse of the fidelity susceptibility and show that the critical point $h_c$ changes monotonously with respect to $α$. This work will shed light on the nature of phase transitions in the quantum long-range antiferromagnetic Ising chain from a quantum information perspective.

description: Emergent symmetry is one of the characteristic phenomena in deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP). As its nonequilibrium generalization, the dual dynamic scaling was recently discovered in the nonequilibrium imaginary-time relaxation dynamics in the DQCP of the $J$-$Q_3$ model. In this work, we study the nonequilibrium imaginary-time relaxation dynamics in the $J$-$Q_2$ model, which also hosts a DQCP belonging to the same equilibrium universality class. We not only verify the universality of the dual dynamic scaling at the critical point, but also investigate the breakdown and the vestige of the dual dynamic scaling when the tuning parameter is away from the critical point. We also discuss its possible experimental realizations in devices of quantum computers.

description: We investigate the effect of a constant magnetic field background on the scalar QED pair production in a four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime ($\dsf$). We have obtained the pair production rate which agrees with the known Schwinger result in the limit of Minkowski spacetime and with the Hawking radiation in de Sitter spacetime (dS) in the zero electric field limit. Our results describe how the cosmic magnetic field affects the pair production rate in cosmological setups. In addition, using the zeta function regularization scheme we have calculated the induced current and examined the effect of a magnetic field on the vacuum expectation value of the current operator. We find that, in the case of a strong electromagnetic background the current responds as $E\cdot B$, while in the infrared regime, it responds as $B/E$, which leads to a phenomenon of infrared hyperconductivity. These results of the induced current have important applications for the cosmic magnetic field evolution.

description: Platelets and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling play a role in the immune response during sepsis. Although preclinical knowledge about the role of platelet TLR signalling is increasing, data during human sepsis are less abundant. Moreover, controversy remains about the effect of the TLR4 agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on platelet activation. We therefore assessed platelet TLR expression during human and murine sepsis. Moreover, we investigated the effect of TLR4 signalling on platelet activation and TLR expression. Platelets from healthy controls stimulated with LPS did not show classical platelet activation (P-selectin, CD63 and phosphatidylserine expression), potentiation of subthreshold agonist stimulation nor platelet-leukocyte complex formation. LPS stimulation however did increase maximal mitochondrial respiration in a TLR4-dependent manner. Platelet stimulation with LPS did not alter TLR expression. Platelet stimulation with thrombin receptor activating peptide increased TLR5 and TLR9, but not TLR2 or TLR4 expression. Platelets from patients with sepsis and mice with experimental sepsis showed platelet activation, but unaltered TLR expression. These results indicate that sepsis-induced platelet activation is not associated with altered platelet TLR expression and, although platelets are responsive to LPS, stimulation of platelet TLR4 does not result in classical platelet activation.

description: Efficient discretisations of gauge groups are crucial with the long term perspective of using tensor networks or quantum computers for lattice gauge theory simulations. For any Lie group other than U$(1)$, however, there is no class of asymptotically dense discrete subgroups. Therefore, discretisations limited to subgroups are bound to lead to a freezing of Monte Carlo simulations at weak couplings, necessitating alternative partitionings without a group structure. In this work we provide a comprehensive analysis of this freezing for all discrete subgroups of SU$(2)$ and different classes of asymptotically dense subsets. We find that an appropriate choice of the subset allows unfrozen simulations for arbitrary couplings, though one has to be careful with varying weights of unevenly distributed points. A generalised version of the Fibonacci spiral appears to be particularly efficient and close to optimal.
Gene flow across geographical barriers - scaling limits of random walks with obstacles

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: In this paper, we study the scaling limit of a class of random walks which behave like simple random walks outside of a bounded region around the origin and which are subject to a partial reflection near the origin. If the probability of crossing the barrier scales as $ 1/\sqrt{n} $ as we rescale space by $ \sqrt{n} $ and time by $ n $, we obtain a non trivial scaling limit which behaves like reflected Brownian motion until its local time at the origin reaches an independent exponential variable. It then follows reflected Brownian motion on the other side of the origin until its local time at the origin reaches another exponential level, and so on. We give a martingale problem characterisation of this process as well as another construction and an explicit formula for its transition density. This result has applications in the field of population genetics where such a random walk is used to trace the position of one's ancestor in the past in the presence of a barrier to gene flow.

Investigating the psychosocial issues impacting older people in the out-of-hospital environment, and building the awareness and capacity of paramedic graduates to recognise and address these issues.
Creators: name: LINDA JANE ROSS

description: The aging Australian population is prone to declining health and an increased likelihood of chronic disease and psychosocial issues such as depression and loneliness. This is contributing to growing utilisation rates of emergency ambulance resources. Paramedics are responsible for providing out-of-hospital care to this growing cohort of complex patients and must therefore be adequately educated and equipped to meet their needs. A combined effort and undertaking by educators, paramedics and ambulance services, including experiential learning with real older patients and resource related to care alternatives, is required to ensure older people are provided with quality holistic out-of-hospital care.

description: We use information geometry, in which the local distance between models measures their distinguishability from data, to quantify the flow of information under the renormalization group. We show that information about relevant parameters is preserved, with distances along relevant directions maintained under flow. By contrast, irrelevant parameters become less distinguishable under the flow, with distances along irrelevant directions contracting according to renormalization group exponents. We develop a covariant formalism to understand the contraction of the model manifold. We then apply our tools to understand the emergence of the diffusion equation and more general statistical systems described by a free energy. Our results give an information-theoretic justification of universality in terms of the flow of the model manifold under coarse-graining.

A roadmap toward equitable, coordinated, quality reproductive care for women with chronic conditions

description:
All people deserve the opportunity to live into the fullness of their bodies and gifts. While some people in the US have this opportunity, many struggle against structural racism to access needed medical care and resources. This is particularly true for people with chronic health conditions. Rising maternal mortality and morbidity, stagnant infant mortality, and rising death rates for US women ages 25–34, along with disparities in outcomes for Black and Native American women, birthing people, and infants, point to an urgent need for change. One foundational and potentially lifesaving yet underfunded strategy for change is the provision of equity-centered, holistic, and respectful health care that includes the full suite of reproductive wellness services.
Nonequilibrium Andreev bound states population in short superconducting junctions coupled to a resonator

description: Inspired by recent experiments, we study a short superconducting junction of length $L\ll ξ$ (coherence length) inserted in a dc-SQUID containing an ancillary Josephson tunnel junction. We evaluate the nonequilibrium occupation of the Andreev bound states (ABS) for the case of a conventional junction and a topological junction, with the latter case of ABS corresponding to a Majorana mode. We take into account small phase fluctuations of the Josephson tunnel junction, acting as a damped LC resonator, and analyze the role of the distribution of the quasiparticles of the continuum assuming that these quasiparticles are in thermal distribution with an effective temperature different from the environmental temperature. We also discuss the effect of strong photon irradiation in the junction leading to a nonequilibrium occupation of the ABS. We systematically compare the occupations of the bound states and the supercurrents carried by these states for conventional and topological junctions.

description: Designing functional materials requires a deep search through multidimensional spaces for system parameters that yield desirable material properties. For cases where conventional parameter sweeps or trial-and-error sampling are impractical, inverse methods that frame design as a constrained optimization problem present an attractive alternative. However, even efficient algorithms require time- and resource-intensive characterization of material properties many times during optimization, imposing a design bottleneck. Approaches that incorporate machine learning can help address this limitation and accelerate the discovery of materials with targeted properties. In this article, we review how to leverage machine learning to reduce dimensionality in order to effectively explore design space, accelerate property evaluation, and generate unconventional material structures with optimal properties. We also discuss promising future directions, including integration of machine learning into multiple stages of a design algorithm and interpretation of machine learning models to understand how design parameters relate to material properties.
