description: It has been proposed that partially quenched chiral perturbation theory can be used together with partially quenched lattice QCD to determine the low-energy constants of real QCD. We point out a complication of this approach and show how it can be resolved. Partial quenching changes the chiral symmetry group and introduces a new independent four-derivative operator. We explore the effects of this new operator. We describe tree-level scattering processes to which it contributes, and show how they can be used, in principle, to deterimine its unknown coefficient. We also calculate its lowest-order (one-loop) contribution to charged meson masses and decay constants. In addition, we present the form of the analytic next-to-next-to-leading order meson mass and decay constant corrections, which are needed for lattice fits.

description: We have made a series of snap-shot observations of 37 polars using XMM-Newton. We found that 16 of these systems were in a low, or much reduced, accretion state. Of those, 6 were not detected in X-rays. This suggests that in any survey of polars, around half will be in a low accretion state. We tested if there was a bias towards certain orbital periods: this is not the case. Of the 10 systems which were detected at low, but significant rates in X-rays, 8 showed significant variability in their X-ray light curves. This implies that non-uniform accretion still takes place during low accretion epochs. The bolometric luminosity of these systems is ~10^30 ergs s, two orders of magnitude less than for systems in a high accretion state. The X-ray spectra show no evidence of a distinct soft X-ray component. However, the X-ray and UV data imply that such a low temperature component exists: its temperature is low enough for its flux distribution to move outside the bandpass of the X-ray instruments.

description: Recently, a number of intriguing results have been obtained for strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in vacuum and matter, using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this work, we provide a physical picture supporting and explaining most of these results within the gauge theory. The modified Coulomb's law at strong coupling forces static charges to communicate via the high frequency modes of the gauge/scalar fields. Therefore, the interaction between even relativistically moving charges can be approximated by a potential. At strong coupling, WKB arguments yield a series of deeply bound states, whereby the large Coulomb attraction is balanced by centrifugation. The result is a constant density of light bound states at {\bf any} value of the strong coupling, explaining why the thermodynamics and kinetics are coupling constant independent. In essence, at strong coupling the matter is not made of the original quasiparticles but of much lighter (binary) composites. A transition from weak to strong coupling is reminiscent to a transition from high to low $T$ in QCD. We establish novel results for screening in vacuum and matter through a dominant set of diagrams some of which are in qualitative agreement with known strong coupling results.

description: O gato (Felis catus) vem ganhando destaque do animal de estimação mais escolhido dentro dos lares. Com isso, determinar sua saúde se torna imprescindível no controle das zoonoses, já que a maioria das doenças emergentes nos últimos anos provieram de animais. Além de gatos serem considerados potentes transmissores das zoonoses, existem alguns fatores que podem agravar a susceptibilidade de parasitos, como o livre acesso às ruas. A interação e o contato com outros animais doentes sugerem uma dinâmica no fluxo de patógenos, onde podem ocorrer adaptações dos patógenos à novos hospedeiros. O estudo da epidemiologia das zoonoses é uma ferramenta chave para se ter um melhor conhecimento da localização de seus focos naturais. Para se avaliar o estado de saúde no geral, a patologia clínica conduz e interpreta exames laboratoriais. Apesar da importância desse assunto, estudos referentes a avaliação do estado da saúde em felinos ainda são escassos no Brasil, principalmente na região Norte. Diante disso, este trabalho objetiva pesquisar anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii e avaliar o perfil hematológico e bioquímico em gatos domésticos parasitados por ecto ou endoparasitos no município de Cacoal-RO. A pesquisa e os protocolos serão submetidos à aprovação da Comissão de Ética no Uso de Animais (CEUA) da Universidade Federal de Rondônia, campus Rolim de Moura. Serão examinados 200 animais, sem distinção entre sexo e idade. Após a busca dos ecto e endoparasitos nos felinos, serão realizadas pesquisas de anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii, além dos perfis hematológico e bioquímico.

description: As one type of efficient unsupervised learning methods, clustering algorithms have been widely used in data mining and knowledge discovery with noticeable advantages. However, clustering algorithms based on density peak have limited clustering effect on data with varying density distribution (VDD), equilibrium distribution (ED), and multiple domain-density maximums (MDDM), leading to the problems of sparse cluster loss and cluster fragmentation. To address these problems, we propose a Domain-Adaptive Density Clustering (DADC) algorithm, which consists of three steps: domain-adaptive density measurement, cluster center self-identification, and cluster self-ensemble. For data with VDD features, clusters in sparse regions are often neglected by using uniform density peak thresholds, which results in the loss of sparse clusters. We define a domain-adaptive density measurement method based on K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) to adaptively detect the density peaks of different density regions. We treat each data point and its KNN neighborhood as a subgroup to better reflect its density distribution in a domain view. In addition, for data with ED or MDDM features, a large number of density peaks with similar values can be identified, which results in cluster fragmentation. We propose a cluster center self-identification and cluster self-ensemble method to automatically extract the initial cluster centers and merge the fragmented clusters. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with other comparative algorithms, the proposed DADC algorithm can obtain more reasonable clustering results on data with VDD, ED and MDDM features. Benefitting from a few parameter requirements and non-iterative nature, DADC achieves low computational complexity and is suitable for large-scale data clustering.

description: We present Chandra X-ray observations of the radio-quiet QSO PG 2302+029. This quasar has a rare system of ultra-high velocity (-56,000 km/s) UV absorption lines that form in an outflow from the active nucleus (Jannuzi et al. 2003). The Chandra data indicate that soft X-ray absorption is also present. We perform a joint UV and X-ray analysis, using photoionization calculations, to detemine the nature of the absorbing gas. The UV and X-ray datasets were not obtained simultaneously. Nonetheless, our analysis suggests that the X-ray absorption occurs at high velocities in the same general region as the UV absorber. There are not enough constraints to rule out multi-zone models. In fact, the distinct broad and narrow UV line profiles clearly indicate that multiple zones are present. Our preferred estimates of the ionization and total column density in the X-ray absorber (log U=1.6, N_H=10^22.4 cm^-2) over predict the O VI 1032, 1038 absorption unless the X-ray absorber is also outflowing at ~56,000 km/s, but they over predict the Ne VIII 770, 780 absorption at all velocities. If we assume that the X-ray absorbing gas is outflowing at the same velocity of the UV-absorbing wind and that the wind is radiatively accelerated, then the outflow must be launched at a radius of < 10^15 cm from the central continuum source. The smallness of this radius casts doubts on the assumption of radiative acceleration.

description: Newer cellular communication generations are planned to allow asynchronous transmission of multiple numerologies (waveforms with different parameters) in adjacent bands, creating unavoidable adjacent channel interference. Most prior work on windowing assume additional extensions reserved for windowing, which does not comply with standards. Whether windowing should be applied at the transmitter or the receiver was not questioned. In this work, we propose two independent algorithms that are implemented at the transmitter and receiver, respectively. These algorithms estimate the transmitter and receiver windowing duration of each resource element (RE) with an aim to improve fair proportional network throughput. While doing so, we solely utilize the available extension that was defined in the standard and present standard-compliant algorithms that also do not require any modifications on the counterparts or control signaling. Furthermore, computationally efficient techniques to apply per-RE transmitter and receiver windowing to signals synthesized and analyzed using conventional cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing are derived and their computational complexities are analyzed. The spectrotemporal relations between optimum window durations at either side, as well as functions of the excess signal to noise ratios, the subcarrier spacings and the throughput gains provided over previous similar techniques are numerically verified.

description: Using a global 3D, fully self-consistent, multi-fluid hydrodynamic model, we simulate the escaping upper atmosphere of the warm Neptune GJ436b, driven by the stellar XUV radiation impact and gravitational forces and interacting with the stellar wind. Under the typical parameters of XUV flux and stellar wind plasma expected for GJ436, we calculate in-transit absorption in Lyα and find that it is produced mostly by Energetic Neutral Atoms outside of the planetary Roche lobe, due to the resonant thermal line broadening. At the same time, the influence of radiation pressure has been shown to be insignificant. The modelled absorption is in good agreement with the observations and reveals such features as strong asymmetry between blue and red wings of the absorbed Lyα line profile, deep transit depth in the high velocity blue part of the line reaching more than 70%, and the timing of early ingress. On the other hand, the model produces significantly deeper and longer egress than in observations, indicating that there might be other processes and factors, still not accounted, that affect the interaction between the planetary escaping material and the stellar wind. At the same time, it is possible that the observational data, collected in different measurement campaigns, are affected by strong variations of the stellar wind parameters between the visits, and therefore, they cannot be reproduced altogether with the single set of model parameters.

The following steps describe the general acquisition and processing of raw data, and operation of this script. Even if you’re a grizzled, accomplished user of DAM hardware and software, please follow the instructions carefully. There are some idiosyncrasies that may differ from the way you normally handle your data. When trying out this program for the first time, start with raw TriKinetics data, not previously processed files.

description: In this manuscript we analyze a data set containing information on children with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) enrolled on a clinical trial. Treatments received and survival status were collected together with other covariates such as demographics and clinical measurements. Our main task is to explore the potential of machine learning (ML) algorithms in a survival analysis context in order to improve over the Cox Proportional Hazard (CoxPH) model. We discuss the weaknesses of the CoxPH model we would like to improve upon and then we introduce multiple algorithms, from well-established ones to state-of-the-art models, that solve these issues. We then compare every model according to the concordance index and the brier score. Finally, we produce a series of recommendations, based on our experience, for practitioners that would like to benefit from the recent advances in artificial intelligence.

description: One of the most fundamental aspects of quantum circuit design is the concept of families of circuits parametrized by an instance size. As in classical programming, metaprogramming allows the programmer to write entire families of circuits simultaneously, an ability which is of particular importance in the context of quantum computing as algorithms frequently use arithmetic over non-standard word lengths. In this work, we introduce metaQASM, a typed extension of the openQASM language supporting the metaprogramming of circuit families. Our language and type system, built around a lightweight implementation of sized types, supports subtyping over register sizes and is moreover type-safe. In particular, we prove that our system is strongly normalizing, and as such any well-typed metaQASM program can be statically unrolled into a finite circuit.

description: Objective: Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a severe, life-threatening disease found in immune-mediated diseases such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and in rare cases of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease. It can result in persistent airway compromise due to the fibrotic response following inflammation. Standard management involves repeated endoscopic interventions to dilate the airway, and tracheostomy is occasionally required. In addition, immunosuppression remains a cornerstone of therapy aimed at controlling the underlying inflammatory disease; however, cumulative dosing leads to significant adverse effects. We present five cases of predominantly anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-negative GPA and a case of IgG4-related disease with SGS, in whom we evaluated the long-term utility of sirolimus, which has beneficial anti-proliferative and fibrotic effects, in the management of their disease. Method: We conducted a retrospective review of a cohort of patients with SGS at a tertiary vasculitis unit. These patients were treated with sirolimus, in addition to conventional medical and endoscopic treatment. Clinical symptoms, frequency and time to endoscopic intervention pre- and post-treatment, additional rescue therapy, and any adverse effects were recorded and analysed. Results: Six patients were treated with sirolimus and followed for up to 9 years; two discontinued the drug owing to adverse effects, early on. In the remaining four patients, glucocorticoids were withdrawn, and the frequency of endoscopic intervention was reduced. One patient on sirolimus required rituximab therapy for disease flare. Conclusion: Sirolimus may be a therapeutic option for some patients with severe SGS, allowing steroid withdrawal and resulting in a positive adverse effect profile.
The effects of low temporal frequency modes on minimum variance maps from PLANCK

description: We estimate the effects of low temporal frequency modes in the time stream on sky maps such as expected from the PLANCK experiment -- a satellite mission designed to image the sky in the microwave band. We perform the computations in a semi-analytic way based on a simple model of PLANCK observations, which permits an insight into the structure of noise correlations of PLANCK-like maps, without doing exact, computationally intensive numerical calculations. We show that, for a set of plausible scanning strategies, marginalization over temporal frequency modes with frequencies lower than the spin frequency of the satellite (= 1/60 Hz) causes a nearly negligible deterioration of a quality of the resulting sky maps. We point out that this observation implies that it should be possible to successfully remove effects of long-term time domain parasitic signals from the PLANCK maps during the data analysis stage.

Ray Effect in Rarefied Flow Simulation

description: Ray effect usually appears in the radiative transfer when using discrete ordinates method (DOM) in the simulations. The cause and remedy for the ray effect have been intensively investigated in the radiation community. For rarefied gas flow, the ray effect is also associated with the discrete velocity method (DVM). However, few studies have been carried out in the rarefied community. In this paper, we take a detailed investigation of the ray effect in the rarefied flow simulations. Starting from a few commonly used benchmark tests, the root of the ray effect has been analyzed theoretically and validated numerically. At the same time, the influence of the ray effect on the quality of the numerical results of rarefied flow is estimated quantitatively. After understanding the nature of the ray effect, the strategy to minimize the ray effect through the discretization of the particle velocity space is presented and applied in the numerical simulations. An optimal velocity discretization for DVM is problem dependent and can be hardly obtained in the complex flow simulations. Due to the intrinsic self-adaptation of particle velocity, the stochastic particle methods are free from the ray effect. In rarefied regimes, the particle method seems more appropriate in the capturing of highly non-equilibrium flow behavior.

description: We present results of a complete radio follow-up obtained with the VLA and ATCA radio telescopes down to a 6 cm flux limit of about 0.3 mJy of all the 147 X-ray sources detected in the BeppoSAX HELLAS survey. We found 53 X-ray/radio likely associations, corresponding to about one third of the X-ray sample. Using the two point spectral index alpha_ro=0.35 we divided all the HELLAS X-ray sources in radio quiet and radio loud. We have 26 sources classified as radio-loud objects, corresponding to about 18% of the HELLAS sample. In agreement with previous results, the identified radio-loud sources are associated mainly with Type 1 AGNs with L(5-10 keV) > 10^44 erg/s, while all the identified Type 2 AGNs and Emission Line Galaxies are radio quiet objects with L(5-10 keV) < 10^44 erg/s. The analysis of the radio spectral index suggests that Type 1 AGNs have a mean radio spectral index flatter than Type 2 AGNs and Emission Line Galaxies.

description: VLT images in BVI are used to identify the ionizing source centered on Sersic 13, the largest HII region of the giant nearby galaxy NGC 5128 with log L_Halpha=39.6 erg/s. This ionizing source turns out to be a close pair of bright and blue star cluster candidates. Spectroscopy obtained with the Magellan I telescope confirms that these are massive young clusters physically associated with the giant HII region Sersic 13. The spectra of both clusters show prominent Wolf-Rayet type emission features, and prominent lines of HI and HeI, indicative of a very young age (t ~ few x 10^6 yr). Their luminosities make each of them at least as luminous as the massive young cluster R136 in 30 Doradus in the LMC, and their individual masses are estimated to be 1-7.5x10^5 M_sun. In addition, the projected separation of the cluster pair is 42 pc. The measured velocity difference between the clusters is small, ΔV=49+/-21 km/s, and within 2 sigma of the expected orbital velocity V_orb=5-12 km/s if they are bound. Dynamical models predict that binary clusters with these properties would merge in a short timescale of a few orbital periods (P=20-50x10^6 yr). The discovery of this binary cluster suggests that mergers of young massive clusters could lead to the formation of the most massive globular clusters such as omega Cen in our Galaxy and G1 in M31. Alternatively, if they are not gravitationally bound, these objects would individually evolve into two normal globular clusters.

description: Objective: To determine whether the positivity of baseline anti-Ro/Sjögren’s syndrome antigen A (SSA) antibodies influences the response to abatacept, we compared therapeutic responses between anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative and -positive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using a multicentre RA ultrasonography prospective cohort. Method: We reviewed Japanese patients with RA who started abatacept as the first biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug between June 2013 and April 2018. We assessed 28-joint Disease Activity Score–erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) change between baseline and 6 or 12 months after treatment in RA patients treated with abatacept, and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response at 6 and 12 months. The Global OMERACT-EULAR Synovitis Score (GLOESS) was calculated at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. Results: Overall, 51 patients were enrolled and divided into anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative and -positive groups of 35 and 16, respectively. Median age at baseline was significantly higher in the anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative group (p = 0.04). The retention rate and percentage of EULAR good responders at 12 months were significantly higher in the anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative group (both p = 0.02). Anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative patients exhibited larger decreases in both DAS28-ESR and DAS28-C-reactive protein at 12 months than anti-Ro/SSA antibody-positive patients (p = 0.02 and 0.04, respectively). GLOESS decreased significantly at 6 months in anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative patients (p = 0.03). Multivariate analyses showed that anti-Ro/SSA antibody positivity was an independent factor associated with change in the DAS28-ESR at 6 months (p Conclusion: Anti-Ro/SSA antibody positivity predicts a poor response to abatacept and low retention rate.

description: Objective: To investigate the relationship between self-reported osteoarthritis (OA) and reproductive factors in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). Method: We used multivariable logistic regression to study the association of self-reported OA and reproductive factors in the WHI Observational Study and Clinical Trial cohorts of 145 965 postmenopausal women, in a retrospective cross-sectional format. Results: In our cohort, we observed no clinically significant associations between reproductive factors and OA given small effect sizes. The following factors were associated with statistically significant increased likelihood of developing OA: younger age at menarche (p Conclusion: Our study showed that reproductive factors did not have significant clinical associations with OA after controlling for confounders. This may be due to complex hormonal effects. Additional investigation is warranted in prospective cohort studies. The Women’s Health Initiative is registered under ClinicalTrials.gov. Trial registration ID: NCT00000611.

description: Objective: Predicting treatment response and disease progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains an elusive endeavour. Identifying subgroups of patients with similar progression is essential for understanding what hinders improvement. However, this cannot be achieved with response criteria based on current versus previous Disease Activity Scores, as they lack the time component. We propose a longitudinal approach that identifies subgroups of patients while capturing their evolution across several clinical outcomes simultaneously (multi-trajectories). Method: For exploration, the RA cohort BARFOT (n = 2829) was used to identify 24 month post-diagnosis simultaneous trajectories of 28-joint Disease Activity Score and its components. Measurements were available at inclusion (0), 3, 6, 12, 24, and 60 months. Multi-trajectories were found with latent class growth modelling. For validation, the TIRA-2 cohort (n = 504) was used. Radiographic changes, assessed by the modified Sharp van der Heijde score, were correlated with trajectory membership. Results: Three multi-trajectories were identified, with 39.6% of the patients in the lowest and 18.9% in the highest (worst) trajectory. Patients in the worst trajectory had on average eight tender and six swollen joints after 24 months. Radiographic changes at 24 and 60 months were significantly increased from the lowest to the highest trajectory. Conclusion: Multi-trajectories constitute a powerful tool for identifying subgroups of RA patients and could be used in future studies searching for predictive biomarkers for disease progression. The evolution and shape of the trajectories in TIRA-2 were very similar to those in BARFOT, even though TIRA-2 is a newer cohort.

description: A one-way coupled spatiotemporally chaotic map lattice is used to contruct cryptosystem. With the combinatorial applications of both chaotic computations and conventional algebraic operations, our system has optimal cryptographic properties much better than the separative applications of known chaotic and conventional methods. We have realized experiments to pratice duplex voice secure communications in realistic Wired Public Switched Telephone Network by applying our chaotic system and the system of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), respectively, for cryptography. Our system can work stably against strong channel noise when AES fails to work.

description: Strategic communication is one of the expressions of state power and represents an instrument in the political and security achievement of national interests. Contemporary conflicts have a form of hybrid acts in the area of usage of information based on the media and Internet. The main goal of strategic communication is to influence the public opinion changing cultural values and adjustment of the political system through the “reprogramming” of the political culture. Listed offensive activities could strongly effect on national defence and security capabilities, influencing on mind of population. Paper describes conceptual correlation among the strategic concept of communication sensationalized in project management with psychological behavior influence in cyberspace. Paper offers modeling of the project approach to designing of strategic communication in the scope of the contemporary digital era. The paper analyses Internet contents on social networks through aspects of possible influence on behavior and attitudes of the target public, as an object of strategic communication project management.
