description: Identify patient experience and preference towards thrombopoietin-receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) in treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in the Netherlands. The Thrombopoietin-Receptor Agonist Patient experience (TRAPeze) survey used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to elicit patient preferences and a patient burden survey (PBS) to evaluate the clinical and social impact of ITP. TRAPeze collected responses from 6th October to 19th November 2021. Seventy-six respondents completed the DCE: treatment preference appeared to be driven by method of administration (odds ratio [OR] 4.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.88–6.52), frequency of dosing (OR 2.33; 95% CI 1.86–2.92) and drug–food interactions (OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.54–2.37). Respondents preferred therapies delivered orally over subcutaneous injection (OR 4.22; 95% CI 2.76–6.46), dosed once weekly over once daily (OR 2.37; 95% CI 1.58–3.54) and without food restrictions over with restrictions (OR 1.90; 95% CI 1.52–2.38). Sixty-nine respondents completed the DCE and PBS (mean [range] age 53 [19–83] years, 65% female). Seven incomplete PBS responses were excluded from analysis. Respondents were currently, or most recently, receiving eltrombopag (n = 43) or romiplostim (n = 26), of which 30% (n = 21/69) had previously received another TPO-RA. Loss (29%, n = 6/21) and lack (29%, n = 6/21) of response were the most common reasons for switching TPO-RA. Only 28% (n = 18/65) of respondents felt their TPO-RA increased energy levels. Patients preferred therapies delivered orally, dosed less frequently and without food restrictions. QoL of ITP patients on TPO-RAs can be improved; the burden analyses presented can inform future efforts towards this.

description: The advent of next-generation survey instruments, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), is opening a window for new research in time-domain astronomy. The Extended LSST Astronomical Time-Series Classification Challenge (ELAsTiCC) was created to test the capacity of brokers to deal with a simulated LSST stream. We describe ATAT, the Astronomical Transformer for time series And Tabular data, a classification model conceived by the ALeRCE alert broker to classify light-curves from next-generation alert streams. ATAT was tested in production during the first round of the ELAsTiCC campaigns. ATAT consists of two Transformer models that encode light curves and features using novel time modulation and quantile feature tokenizer mechanisms, respectively. ATAT was trained on different combinations of light curves, metadata, and features calculated over the light curves. We compare ATAT against the current ALeRCE classifier, a Balanced Hierarchical Random Forest (BHRF) trained on human-engineered features derived from light curves and metadata. When trained on light curves and metadata, ATAT achieves a macro F1-score of 82.9 +- 0.4 in 20 classes, outperforming the BHRF model trained on 429 features, which achieves a macro F1-score of 79.4 +- 0.1. The use of Transformer multimodal architectures, combining light curves and tabular data, opens new possibilities for classifying alerts from a new generation of large etendue telescopes, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, in real-world brokering scenarios.

description: We prove a rigidity theorem for the geometry of the unit ball in random subspaces of the scl norm in B_1^H of a free group. In a free group F of rank k, a random word w of length n (conditioned to lie in [F,F]) has scl(w)=log(2k-1)n/6log(n) + o(n/log(n)) with high probability, and the unit ball in a subspace spanned by d random words of length O(n) is C^0 close to a (suitably affinely scaled) octahedron. A conjectural generalization to hyperbolic groups and manifolds (discussed in the appendix) would show that the length of a random geodesic in a hyperbolic manifold can be recovered from the bounded cohomology of the fundamental group.

Generalization of Einstein's gravitational field equations

Year: 2024

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Riemann tensor is the cornerstone of general relativity, but as everyone knows it does not appear explicitly in Einstein's equation of gravitation. This suggests that the latter may not be the most general equation. We propose here for the first time, following a rigorous mathematical treatment based on the variational principle, that there exists a generalized 4-index gravitational field equation containing the Riemann curvature tensor linearly, and thus the Weyl tensor as well. We show that this equation, written in $n$ dimensions, contains the energy-momentum tensor for matter and also that of the gravitational field itself. This new 4-index equation remains completely within the framework of general relativity and emerges as a natural generalization of the familiar 2-index Einstein equation. Due to the presence of the Weyl tensor, we show that this equation contains much more information, which fully justifies the use of a fourth-order theory.

description: In the absence of head-to-head comparisons across relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) treatments following the approval of the oral proteasome inhibitor ixazomib, in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRd), we conducted an indirect comparison of the efficacy of IRd relative to several RRMM therapies using Bayesian fixed-effects network meta-analysis (NMA) models. Data for the NMA were obtained through a systematic literature review (conducted in June 2020), which identified randomized controlled trials (base case) and observational studies (extended network analysis) reporting overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate (ORR). In the base case, IRd was associated with a significantly longer PFS than lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd), bortezomib monotherapy (V), dexamethasone (Dex), and pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Pom-dex), a significantly shorter PFS than daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DRd), and a PFS comparable to elotuzumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (ERd) and carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd). IRd was associated with a significantly longer OS than V, Dex, and Pom-dex, and an OS comparable to Rd, ERd, KRd, and DRd. The ORR of IRd was significantly higher than Rd, V, and Dex, significantly lower than KRd and DRd, and comparable to Pom-dex and ERd. The extended network analyses and sensitivity analyses were consistent with the base case. This NMA shows that IRd is relatively efficacious among RRMM treatments. Being an oral regimen, IRd is also convenient to manage. IRd could be a preferable treatment option for many patients with RRMM, particularly those seeking an efficacious and convenient therapeutic option.

description: Pascual Jordan's path-breaking role as the protagonist of quantum field theory (QFT) is recalled and his friendly dispute with Dirac's particle-based relativistic quantum theory is presented as the start of the field-particle conundrum which, though in modified form, persists up to this date. Jordan had an intuitive understanding that the existence of a causal propagation with finite propagation speed in a quantum theory led to radically different physical phenomena than those of QM. The conceptional-mathematical understanding for such an approach began to emerge only 30 years later. The strongest link between Jordan's view of QFT and modern "local quantum physics" is the central role of causal locality as the defining principle of QFT as opposed to the Born localization in QM. The issue of causal localization is also the arena where misunderstandings led to a serious derailment of large part of particle theory e.g. the misinterpretation of an infinite component pointlike field resulting from the quantization of the Nambu-Goto Lagrangian as a spacetime quantum string. The new concept of modular localization, which replaces Jordan's causal locality, is especially important to overcome the imperfections of gauge theories for which Jordan was the first to note nonlocal aspects of physical (not Lagrangian) charged fields. Two interesting subjects in which Jordan was far ahead of his contemporaries will be presented in two separate sections.

description: In this paper, we extend past work done on the application of the mathematics of category theory to quantum information science. Specifically, we present a realization of a dagger-compact category that can model finite-dimensional quantum systems and explicitly allows for the interaction of systems of arbitrary, possibly unequal, dimensions. Hence our framework can handle generic tensor network states, including matrix product states. Our categorical model subsumes the traditional quantum circuit model while remaining directly and easily applicable to problems stated in the language of quantum information science. The circuit diagrams themselves now become morphisms in a category, making quantum circuits a special case of a much more general mathematical framework. We introduce the key algebraic properties of our tensor calculus diagrammatically and show how they can be applied to solve problems in the field of quantum information.

Lubrication performance of the cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC) aqueous suspensions as potential green lubricants
Creators: name: Zakani, Behzad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Industrial lubricants are widely introduced into mechanical systems to reduce wear and energy losses. With the increasing demand for environmental protection, developing eco-friendly lubricants becomes more crucial. Due to their abundance, biodegradability, non-toxicity, high thermal stability and low cost, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) may be an appropriate choice for formulating green lubricants. The wear and friction coefficient are the tribological properties that assess the effectiveness of a lubricant. Minimizing the friction coefficient and wear, using a proper lubricant, would improve lifespan of the mechanical systems in different lubrication applications. In this study, using different chemical, microstructural, rheological and tribological characterization methods, we systematically investigated the effect of particle concentration and ultrasonic treatment on the lubrication performance of CNC suspensions as potential green lubricants. It was found that the lubrication performance of liquid CNC suspensions is optimal within sonication energy of 4-50 kJ/gCNC, and the concentration regime of 1-2 wt%. The yield stress is an important rheological property for evaluating the lubrication performance of the lubricating greases. This property determines the pumpability and leakage of grease in bearing applications. In this study, we examined the effect of ultrasonic treatment and particle concentration on yield stress of highly concentrated CNC gels to evaluate their performance as potential green lubricating greases. It was found that yield stress scales linearly with CNC concentration, whereas it decreases with sonication energy through a four-step mechanism governed by microstructural transformation of the CNC agglomerates. The results confirmed that CNC aqueous suspensions may be potentially used as green lubricants. The results also suggested that by tuning ultrasonication processing and particle concentration, one may be able to optimize lubrication performance of CNC aqueous suspensions. Under the optimum CNC concentration regime (1-2 wt%), COF decreased by 50% compared to DI water. Whereas, under the optimum sonication energy regime (4-50 kJ/gCNC), COF and wear decreased by 25 and 30% compared to unsonicated CNC suspension.

description: Several biological problems require the identification of regions in a sequence where some feature occurs within a target density range: examples including the location of GC-rich regions, identification of CpG islands, and sequence matching. Mathematically, this corresponds to searching a string of 0s and 1s for a substring whose relative proportion of 1s lies between given lower and upper bounds. We consider the algorithmic problem of locating the longest such substring, as well as other related problems (such as finding the shortest substring or a maximal set of disjoint substrings). For locating the longest such substring, we develop an algorithm that runs in O(n) time, improving upon the previous best-known O(n log n) result. For the related problems we develop O(n log log n) algorithms, again improving upon the best-known O(n log n) results. Practical testing verifies that our new algorithms enjoy significantly smaller time and memory footprints, and can process sequences that are orders of magnitude longer as a result.

description: We compute all N-point primordial curvature correlation functions from inflation at tree-level up to N of order ten or more depending on the choice of parameters. This is achieved for resonant inflationary models in which the inflaton potential has a periodic modulation on top of a slow-roll flat term. These models find a natural UV completion in string theory implementation of axion monodromy. Key to the success of our computation is the observation that gravitational interactions among the perturbations can be neglected, which we argue is justified for any model of inflation with parametrically large non-Gaussianity. We provide a comprehensive review and detailed derivations of known consistency relations for squeezed and collinear limits, and generalize them to any N-point function.

description: We show that the Satisfiability (SAT) problem for CNF formulas with β-acyclic hypergraphs can be solved in polynomial time by using a special type of Davis-Putnam resolution in which each resolvent is a subset of a parent clause. We extend this class to CNF formulas for which this type of Davis-Putnam resolution still applies and show that testing membership in this class is NP-complete. We compare the class of β-acyclic formulas and this superclass with a number of known polynomial formula classes. We then study the parameterized complexity of SAT for "almost" β-acyclic instances, using as parameter the formula's distance from being β-acyclic. As distance we use the size of a smallest strong backdoor set and the β-hypertree width. As a by-product we obtain the W[1]-hardness of SAT parameterized by the (undirected) clique-width of the incidence graph, which disproves a conjecture by Fischer, Makowsky, and Ravve.

description: With social and environmental challenges facing the earth, can there be an approach to show how to re-calibrate our relationships to things and places? In my artistic research, I have been utilizing various methods of looking at domestic objects through drawing, video, and 3D scanning to question how we relate to them and the wider world. The resulting works are installations comprised of a few real things presented alongside their, and many other, digital counterparts. The installations are composed of objects that should be relatable and recognizable through their ubiquity. I hope that the re-presenting of these familiar objects allows us to experience defamiliarization. Therefore, generating the ability to re-consider their relationships to the objects within our existing realities. Oranges, squash, apples, computer cables, hard drives, books, vases, flowers, etc. highlight the aggregate elements that compose our families. Taking notice of a kabocha squash, clay vase, or the cast of the sun resting on a cluttered dining room table becomes subscendent (moving towards relations) sites of connection. Working in ways to reveal the existing unseen and seen objects leads to potential moments of intimacy and relationships.

description: We show that the symmetry operators for the quantum superintegrable system on the 3-sphere with generic 4-parameter potential form a closed quadratic algebra with 6 linearly independent generators that closes at order 6 (as differential operators). Further there is an algebraic relation at order 8 expressing the fact that there are only 5 algebraically independent generators. We work out the details of modeling physically relevant irreducible representations of the quadratic algebra in terms of divided difference operators in two variables. We determine several ON bases for this model including spherical and cylindrical bases. These bases are expressed in terms of two variable Wilson and Racah polynomials with arbitrary parameters, as defined by Tratnik. The generators for the quadratic algebra are expressed in terms of recurrence operators for the one-variable Wilson polynomials. The quadratic algebra structure breaks the degeneracy of the space of these polynomials. In an earlier paper the authors found a similar characterization of one variable Wilson and Racah polynomials in terms of irreducible representations of the quadratic algebra for the quantum superintegrable system on the 2-sphere with generic 3-parameter potential. This indicates a general relationship between 2nd order superintegrable systems and discrete orthogonal polynomials.

description: The 4D eigenvector 1 (E1) sequence has emerged as a powerful tool for organizing the observational and physical characteristics of type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the metallicity of the broad line region gas, incorporating both new data and previously published findings, to assess the presence of any trend along the sequence. We perform a multi-component analysis on the strongest UV and optical emission lines, compute $\sim 10$ diagnostic ratios, and compare them with the prediction of CLOUDY photoionization simulations, identifying a photoionization solution closest to the data. Our investigation reveals a consistent pattern along the optical plane of the E1. We observe a systematic progression in metallicity, ranging from sub-solar values to metallicity levels several times higher than solar values. These findings underscore the role of metallicity as a fundamental correlate of the 4DE1/main sequence. Extreme values of metallicity, at least several tens solar, are confirmed in low-$z$ AGNs radiating at a high Eddington ratio, although the origin of the extreme enrichment remains open to debate.

Redefining Construction "As-Built" Plans to Meet Current Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Needs
Creators: name: Lasley, Victoria Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
As-built drawings are the traditional method used by the construction industry to record changes made during construction. As-builts provide valuable information for new design projects as well as rehabilitation and remediation projects. The completeness and accuracy of these plans are essential for transportation industries and their success. While the importance of as-builts is widely recognized, the process of creating them has proven to be difficult. It is a time consuming process and entities often lack the resources necessary to complete accurate and detailed as-builts. After an investigation of current as-built operations within State Transportation Agencies, recommendations have been made to redefine construction "as-built" plans to meet current state transportation needs. First, the importance of a central storage location accessible to all stakeholders cannot be overemphasized. Along with a central storage location, standard guidelines should be developed regarding what information is required to be included within as-built plans. This study's approach to developing such guidelines included meeting with as-built end users and formulating a list of requested information. To ensure as-builts are being completed on time and accurately, it is recommended that as-built plans be developed throughout the project using simple to use editing software on iPads. A PDF editor is ideal for as-built development as PDF is the requested format by most end users. Finally, to ensure this process is being followed by construction, a liaison between as-built developers and users is recommended.

We also consider restriction algebras obtained from $A(G)$, equipped with the natural operator space structure, and ask whether such algebras can be completely isomorphic to operator algebras; partial results are obtained, using a modified notion of Helson set which takes account of operator space structure. In particular, we show that if $G$ is virtually abelian, then the restriction algebra $A_G(E)$ is completely isomorphic to an operator algebra if and only if $E$ is finite.

description: Necroptosis has been reported to play an important role in different cancers, including leukemia. However, biomarkers of necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) that help predict the prognosis of AML are still lacking. Our research aims to build a novel signature of NRGs that could enhance our understanding of the molecular heterogeneity in leukemia. Gene expression profiles as well as clinical features were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases. Data analysis were executed using R software version 4.2.1 and GraphPad Prism version 9.0.0. Univariate cox regression and lasso regression were applied to identify survival-specific genes. Four genes including FADD, PLA2G4A, PYCARD and ZBP1 were considered as independent risk factors that affect the prognosis of patients. Risk scores were calculated according to the coefficient of four genes. Then clinical characteristics and risk scores were enrolled to construct a nomogram. CellMiner was also used to screen potential drugs and analyze the correlations between genes and drug sensitivity. In general, we established a signature of four genes related to necroptosis that could be helpful for future risk stratification in patients with AML.

A dynamical fingerprint of the chiral ground state is obtained, singularized by (i) spectral weight asymmetries answerable to the structural chirality and (ii) a full chirality of the spin correlations observed over the whole energy spectrum. The intrinsic chiral nature of the spin waves elementary excitations is shown in absence of macroscopic time reversal symmetry breaking.

description: Let f be a real entire function whose set S(f) of singular values is real and bounded. We show that, if f satisfies a certain function-theoretic condition (the "sector condition"), then $f$ has no wandering domains. Our result includes all maps of the form f(z)=λsinh(z)/z + a, where a is a real constant and λ is positive. We also show the absence of wandering domains for certain non-real entire functions for which S(f) is bounded and the iterates of f tend to infinity uniformly on S(f). As a special case of our theorem, we give a short, elementary and non-technical proof that the Julia set of the complex exponential map f(z)=e^z is the entire complex plane. Furthermore, we apply similar methods to extend a result of Bergweiler, concerning Baker domains of entire functions and their relation to the postsingular set, to the case of meromorphic functions.

description: To describe the incorporation of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in real-world (RW) practice for the treatment of patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in a setting with other treatment alternatives. This was an observational, multicenter, ambispective study of RRMM treated with or without a mAb. A total of 171 patients were included. For the group treated without mAb, the median (95% CI) progression-free survival (PFS) to relapse was 22.4 (17.8-27.0) months; partial response or better (≥PR) and complete response or better (≥CR) was observed in 74.1% and 24.1% of patients, respectively; and median time to first response in first relapse was 2.0 months and in second relapse was 2.5 months. For the group of patients treated with mAb in first or second relapse, the median PFS was 20.9 (95% CI, could not be evaluated) months; the ≥ PR and ≥ CR rates were 76,2% and 28.6%, respectively; and the median time to first response in first relapse was 1.2 month and in second relapse was 1.0 months. The safety profiles for the combinations were consistent with those expected. The incorporation of mAb in RW practice for the treatment of RRMM has shown good quality and speed of response with a similar safety profile shown in randomized clinical trials.

description: The most important criteria for a successful inflation are to explain the observed temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation, and exiting inflation in a vacuum where it can excite the Standard Model quarks and leptons required for the success of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. In this paper we provide the first ever closed string model of inflation where the inflaton couplings to hidden sector, moduli sector, and visible sector fields can be computed, showing that inflation can lead to reheating the Standard Model degrees of freedom before the electro-weak scale.

description: We consider pure-jump transaction-level models for asset prices in continuous time, driven by point processes. In a bivariate model that admits cointegration, we allow for time deformations to account for such effects as intraday seasonal patterns in volatility, and non-trading periods that may be different for the two assets. We also allow for asymmetries (leverage effects). We obtain the asymptotic distribution of the log-price process. We also obtain the asymptotic distribution of the ordinary least-squares estimator of the cointegrating parameter based on data sampled from an equally-spaced discretization of calendar time, in the case of weak fractional cointegration. For this same case, we obtain the asymptotic distribution for a tapered estimator under more

description: We report the first detection of the Higgs-type amplitude mode using Bragg spectroscopy in a strongly interacting condensate of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. By the comparison of our experimental data with a spatially resolved, time-dependent dynamic Gutzwiller calculation, we obtain good quantitative agreement. This allows for a clear identification of the amplitude mode, showing that it can be detected with full momentum resolution by going beyond the linear response regime. A systematic shift of the sound and amplitude modes' resonance frequencies due to the finite Bragg beam intensity is observed.

description: Let $(Ω,\mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$ be a probability space and $E$ be a finite set. Assume that $X=(X_n)$ is an irreducible and aperiodic Markov chain, defined on $(Ω,\mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$, with values in $E$ and with transition probability $P=\Big(p_{i,j}\Big)_{i,j}$. Let $(F(i,j,\d x))_{i,j\in E}$ be a family of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$. Consider a semi-markovian chain $(Y_n,X_n)$ on $\mathbb{R}\times E$ with transition probability $\widetilde{P}$, defined by $\widetilde{P}\Big((u,i),A\times\{j\}\Big)=\mathbb{P}(Y_{n+1}\in A,X_{n+1}=j|Y_n= u,X_n=i)=p_{i,j}F(i,j,A)$, for any $(u,i)\in\mathbb{R}\times E$, any Borel set $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ and any $j\in E$. We study the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of Laplace transforms of $(X_n,m_n)$, where $m_n=\min(S_0,S_1,...,S_n)$ and $S_n=Y_0+...+Y_{n-1}$. Under quite general assumptions on $F(i,j,dx)$, we prove that for all $(i,j)\in E\times E$, $\sqrt{n}\E_i[\exp(λm_n), X_n=j]$ converges to a positive function $H_{i,j}(λ)$ and we obtain further informations on this limit function as $λ\to 0^+$.

description: Identify patient preference towards thrombopoietin-receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) and determine the clinical and social impact of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in Italy. The Thrombopoietin-Receptor Agonist Patient experience (TRAPeze) survey collected responses from Italian residents from 17th January to 28th February 2022. TRAPeze utilized a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to elicit patient preferences towards TPO-RA attributes and a patient burden survey (PBS) to determine ITP disease characteristics and social impact. Seventy-six respondents completed the DCE, of which 69 completed both the DCE and PBS (mean [range] age 45 [18.0–73.0] years, 80% female). TPO-RA attributes with the greatest influence over respondent choice were method of administration (odds ratio [OR] 2.96; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.16–4.06), drug-food interactions (OR 1.48; 95% CI 1.17–1.86) and frequency of dosing (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.15–1.52). Respondents were more likely to prefer therapies administered orally over subcutaneous injection (OR 3.76; 95% CI 2.51–5.63), once weekly over once daily (OR 1.83; 95% CI 1.26–2.65), and therapies without food restrictions over with restrictions (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.17–2.14). The most frequently reported symptoms were bruising (82%), petechiae (65%) and fatigue (64%). Most respondents (84%) felt ITP impacted familial relationships and 71% of employed respondents reported fatigue influencing their ability to work, with 31% reducing working hours. Although responses indicated a moderate perception of general health, ITP clearly impacted respondent work and social life. Our findings demonstrate respondents preferred TPO-RAs delivered orally, with less frequent dosing and without food restrictions.
