description: Patients from five clinics in North and South Carolina who had lesions suggestive of primary or secondary syphilis were evaluated using molecular techniques that allow the differentiation of Treponema pallidum strains on the basis of two variable genes, tpr and arp. Lesion samples were screened for the presence of T. pallidum DNA using PCR for polA, which represents a segment of the polymerase I gene that is unique to the spirochete. Twenty-seven of 154 lesion samples were found to contain T. pallidum, 23 of which had typeable DNA. Seven molecular subtypes were found (10f, 12f, 13f, 14f, 14g, 15f, and 16f); one to four subtypes were identified at each clinic. Subtype 14f was found in 52% of the typeable specimens and was distributed in four of the five clinics. Subtype 16f was found in 22% of specimens and was concentrated at one clinic. Further data are needed to define the role of this technique in examining the epidemiology of syphilis.

description: We performed a first-principles study of the tunneling anisotropic magneto-resistance (TAMR) in Ag(Ir,Pt)$/$MgO$/$Fe junctions. Enhanced TAMR with ideal and skewed fourfold angular dependence is found in-plane and out-of-plane TAMR of the system, respectively, which shows simple barrier thickness dependency with number around 10\% in some junctions. The complex angular dependency of the interfacial resonant states due to the spin-orbit coupling should be responsible to the complex and enhanced TAMR found in these junctions.

description: Trichomonas vaginalis infection is estimated to be the most widely prevalent nonviral sexually transmitted infection in the world. Wet-mount microscopy is the most common diagnostic method, although it is less sensitive than culture. The OSOM Trichomonas Rapid Test (Genzyme Diagnostics, Cambridge, Mass.) (referred to here as OSOM) is a new point-of-care diagnostic assay for T. vaginalis that uses an immunochromatographic capillary flow (dipstick) assay and provides results in 10 min. The purpose of this study was to determine the test characteristics of OSOM compared to those of a composite reference standard (CRS) comprised of wet-mount microscopy and T. vaginalis culture. This multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled sexually active women ≥18 years of age who presented with symptoms of vaginitis, exposure to T. vaginalis, or multiple sexual partners. Vaginal-swab specimens were obtained for T. vaginalis culture, wet mount, and rapid testing. The prevalence of T. vaginalis in this sample was 23.4% (105 of 449) by the CRS. The sensitivity and specificity of OSOM vaginal-swab specimens were 83.3 and 98.8%, respectively, while wet mount had a sensitivity and specificity of 71.4 and 100%, respectively, compared to the CRS. OSOM performed significantly better than wet mount (P = 0.004) and detected T. vaginalis in samples that required 48 to 72 h of incubation prior to becoming culture positive. The performance of the rapid test was not affected by the presence of coinfections with chlamydia and gonorrhea. The OSOM Trichomonas Rapid Test is a simple, objective test that can be expected to improve the diagnosis of T. vaginalis, especially where microscopy and culture are unavailable.

description: We present ALMA Band-3/7 observations towards "the Heart" of a massive hub-filament system (HFS) SDC335, to investigate its fragmentation and accretion. At a resolution of $\sim0.03$ pc, 3 mm continuum emission resolves two massive dense cores MM1 and MM2, with $383(^{+234}_{-120})$ $M_\odot$ (10-24% mass of "the Heart") and $74(^{+47}_{-24})$ $M_\odot$, respectively. With a resolution down to 0.01 pc, 0.87 mm continuum emission shows MM1 further fragments into six condensations and multi-transition lines of H$_2$CS provide temperature estimation. The relation between separation and mass of condensations at a scale of 0.01 pc favors turbulent Jeans fragmentation where the turbulence seems to be scale-free rather than scale-dependent. We use the H$^{13}$CO$^+$ (1-0) emission line to resolve the complex gas motion inside "the Heart" in position-position-velocity space. We identify four major gas streams connected to large-scale filaments, inheriting the anti-clockwise spiral pattern. Along these streams, gas feeds the central massive core MM1. Assuming an inclination angle of $45(\pm15)^{\circ}$ and a H$^{13}$CO$^+$ abundance of $5(\pm3)\times10^{-11}$, the total mass infall rate is estimated to be $2.40(\pm0.78)\times10^{-3}$ $M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$, numerically consistent with the accretion rates derived from the clump-scale spherical infall model and the core-scale outflows. The consistency suggests a continuous, near steady-state, and efficient accretion from global collapse, therefore ensuring core feeding. Our comprehensive study of SDC335 showcases the detailed gas kinematics in a prototypical massive infalling clump and calls for further systematic and statistical analyses in a large sample.

description: Studying coupling between different galactic components is a challenging problem in galactic dynamics. Using basis function expansions (BFEs) and multichannel singular spectrum analysis (mSSA) as a means of dynamical data mining, we discover evidence for two multi-component disc-halo dipole modes in a Milky-Way-like simulated galaxy. One of the modes grows throughout the simulation, while the other decays throughout the simulation. The multi-component disc-halo modes are driven primarily by the halo, and have implications for the structural evolution of galaxies, including observations of lopsidedness and other non-axisymmetric structure. In our simulation, the modes create surface density features up to 10 per cent relative to the equilibrium model stellar disc. While the simulated galaxy was constructed to be in equilibrium, BFE+mSSA also uncovered evidence of persistent periodic signals incited by aphysical initial conditions disequilibrium, including rings and weak two-armed spirals, both at the 1 per cent level. The method is sensitive to distinct evolutionary features at and even below the 1 per cent level of surface density variation. The use of mSSA produced clean signals for both modes and disequilibrium, efficiently removing variance owing to estimator noise from the input BFE time series. The discovery of multi-component halo-disc modes is strong motivation for application of BFE+mSSA to the rich zoo of dynamics of multi-component interacting galaxies.

description: The Any Light Particle Search (ALPS~II) is a light shining through a wall (LSW) experiment searching for axion-like elementary particles in the sub-eV mass range, which are motivated by astrophysics and cosmology and fulfill the requirements for being dark matter. ALPS~II aims to measure an axion-to-photon coupling of $2\times 10^{-11}\,\mathrm{GeV^{-1}}$, which is several orders of magnitude better than that of previous LSW experiments and will thus investigate a new parameter range. The increased performance is achieved by enhancing the magnetic field interaction length to 2 $\times$ 106\,m and by amplifying the signal in an optical cavity on each side of a light-tight barrier. The expected signal is in the order of 1 photon per day, which will be measured by photon detectors with very low dark count rates of $\mathcal O(10^{-6}\,\mathrm{Hz})$. This article gives a technical overview on the experiment design, previous and ongoing investigations and the current status with focus on the single photon detection.

description: The world is full of networks. Wherever there is a set of entities interacting in a well-defined way, it can be represented as a network. Some examples are social networks, telecommunication networks and the world wide web. In this thesis we study how things spread on networks, and in particular how the network structure impacts the network dynamics. We model social spreading processes which can have different dynamics to other settings and interact differently with the network structure.It has been empirically shown in some settings that the adoption of behaviour is more likely after multiple exposures to the behaviour, given that the individual has not already adopted [15]. This type of adoption mechanism is known as a complex contagion. While cluster?ing in networks has been shown to inhibit simple contagions — where there is no social-reinforcement mechanism — for complex contagions, clustering can lead to faster spread [64]. Mathematical models for dy?namics on clustered networks are lacking in comparison to those for locally tree-like networks.In this thesis, we introduce a framework for modelling complex contagion on networks with different clustering levels. We show how, using this framework we can derive analytical results for some very simple toy networks. These results include the cascade condition and the expected cascade size and find that depending on the level of social reinforcement, we get the largest outbreaks for networks with different levels of clustering. We then go on to produce results for a more general family of clustered networks, deriving full distributions of cascade properties.While much of this thesis is concerned with developing model theory, we feel that it is important to keep in mind the real-world processes that we model. In the final part of this thesis, we explore the spread of a hashtag relating to an Irish cultural event on Twitter. The dynamics of this are interesting because there are two languages at play; Irish and English. In this piece of research we begin to explore how the Irish language is used online.

description: The Landauer principle asserts that the energy cost of erasure of one bit of information by the action of a thermal reservoir in equilibrium at temperature T is never less than $kTlog 2$. We discuss Landauer's principle for quantum statistical models describing a finite level quantum system S coupled to an infinitely extended thermal reservoir R. Using Araki's perturbation theory of KMS states and the Avron-Elgart adiabatic theorem we prove, under a natural ergodicity assumption on the joint system S+R, that Landauer's bound saturates for adiabatically switched interactions. The recent work of Reeb and Wolf on the subject is discussed and compared.

description: Veiling is ubiquitous at different wavelength ranges in accreting stars. However, the origin of the veiling in the IR domain is not well understood. The accretion spot alone is not enough to explain the shallow photospheric IR lines in accreting systems, suggesting that another source is contributing to the veiling in the NIR. The inner disk is often quoted as the additional emitting source meant to explain the IR veiling. In this work, we aim to measure and discuss the NIR veiling to understand its origins and variability timescale, using a sample of 14 accreting stars observed with the CFHT/SPIRou spectrograph, within the framework of the SPIRou Legacy Survey. We compared the veiling measurements with accretion and inner disk diagnostics. The measured veiling grows from the Y to the K band for most of the targets in our sample. The IR veiling agrees with NIR emission excess obtained using photometric data. However, we also find a linear correlation between the veiling and the accretion properties of the system, showing that accretion contributes to the inner disk heating and, consequently, to the inner disk emission excess. We also show a connection between the NIR veiling and the system's inclination with respect to our line of sight. This is probably due to the reduction of the visible part of the inner disk edge, where the NIR emission excess is expected to arise, as the inclination of the system increases. The NIR veiling appears variable on a timescale of a day, showing the night-by-night dynamics of the optical veiling variability. In the long term, the mean NIR veiling seems to be stable for most of the targets on timescales of a month to a few years. However, during occasional episodes of high accretion, which affect the system's dynamic, the veiling also seems to be much more prominent at such times, as we found in the case of the target RU Lup.

description: Optomechanical systems are rapidly becoming one of the most promising platforms for observing quantum behaviour, especially at the macroscopic level. Moreover, thanks to their state-of-the-art methods of fabrication, they may now enter regimes of non-linear interactions between their constituent mechanical and optical degrees of freedom. In this work, we show how this novel opportunity may serve to construct a new generation of optomechanical sensors. We consider the canonical optomechanical setup with the detection scheme being based on time-resolved counting of photons leaking from the cavity. By performing simulations and resorting to Bayesian inference, we demonstrate that the non-classical correlations of the detected photons may crucially enhance the sensor performance in real time. We believe that our work may stimulate a new direction in the design of such devices, while our methods apply also to other platforms exploiting non-linear light-matter interactions and photon detection.

description: Norovirus (NoV) is one of the most common causes of acute gastroenteritis in children and adults. To study the prevalence and genetic variability of NoV in children with acute gastroenteritis in São Paulo State, Brazil, we examined 234 stool samples from children with or without gastroenteritis during a 5-year period (1995 to 1999). NoV RNA was detected by reverse transcription-PCR and confirmed by DNA sequence analysis. We used two different oligonucleotide primer sets targeting the 3′ end of the RNA polymerase gene (region B), as well a partial capsid region at the 3′ end of the VP1 gene (region D). A total of 78 (33.3%) of the samples tested positive for NoV, and in region B, of the 66 strains sequenced, 4 (6.1%) belonged to GI, 52 (78.7%) belonged to GII, and five samples (7.6%) contained a mixture of the GI and GII genotypes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the majority (40 of 66 [60.6%]) of the strains belonged to genotype GII.4. The nucleotide sequence identity of three strains was lower than 77.9% compared to a region B reference sequence database but showed 85.3 to 88.8% identity with GII.2 Melksham strain in region D, indicating the circulation of a possible recombinant NoV strain. One sample (GII.3) was sequenced only in region D. In conclusion, we have a total of 67 sequenced strains. This is the first report that describes the predominance of GII.4 NoV strains in children visiting the ambulatory of different hospitals in São Paulo State, Brazil, and we show that mixtures of different strains can be found in individual samples, including some possible new recombinant strains.

description: Stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs are possible progenitors of black-hole mergers detected in gravitational waves by LIGO/VIRGO. To better understand the hydrodynamical evolution of BBHs interacting with the disc gas, we perform a suite of high-resolution 2D simulations of binaries in local disc (shearing-box) models, considering various binary mass ratios, eccentricities and background disc properties. We use the $γ$-law equation of state and adopt a robust post-processing treatment to evaluate the mass accretion rate, torque and energy transfer rate on the binary to determine its long-term orbital evolution. We find that circular comparable-mass binaries contract, with an orbital decay rate of a few times the mass doubling rate. Eccentric binaries always experience eccentricity damping. Prograde binaries with higher eccentricities or smaller mass ratios generally have slower orbital decay rates, with some extreme cases exhibiting orbital expansion. The averaged binary mass accretion rate depends on the physical size of the accretor. The accretion flows are highly variable, and the dominant variability frequency is the apparent binary orbital frequency (in the rotating frame around the central massive BH) for circular binaries but gradually shifts to the radial epicyclic frequency as the binary eccentricity increases. Our findings demonstrate that the dynamics of BBHs embedded in AGN discs is quite different from that of isolated binaries in their own circumbinary discs. Furthermore, our results suggest that the hardening timescales of the binaries are much shorter than their migration timescales in the disc, for all reasonable binary and disc parameters.

description: In merger-driven models of massive galaxy evolution, the luminous quasar phase is expected to be accompanied by vigorous star formation in quasar host galaxies. In this paper, we use high column density Damped Lyman Alpha (DLA) systems along quasar sight lines as natural coronagraphs to directly study the far-UV (FUV) radiation from the host galaxies of luminous background quasars. We have stacked the spectra of $\sim$2,000 DLA systems (N_HI>10^{20.6} cm^{-2}) with a median absorption redshift < z > = 2.6 selected from quasars observed in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. We detect residual flux in the dark troughs of the composite DLA spectra. The level of this residual flux significantly exceeds systematic errors in the SDSS fiber sky subtraction; furthermore, the residual flux is strongly correlated with the continuum luminosity of the background quasar, while uncorrelated with DLA column density or metallicity. We conclude that the flux could be associated with the average FUV radiation from the background quasar host galaxies (with medium redshift < z > = 3.1) that is not blocked by the intervening DLA. Assuming all of the detected flux originates from quasar hosts, for the highest quasar luminosity bin (< L >= 2.5x 10^{13} L_sun), the host galaxy has a FUV intensity of 1.5 +/- 0.2 x 10^{40} erg s^{-1} A^{-1}; this corresponds to an unobscured UV star formation rate of 9 M_sun/yr.

description: Терминологический анализ средневековых источников является важным средством интерпретации текста, однако в научной и научно-популярной литературе многие термины «копируются» без должного осмысления. В данной работе, посвященной термину «Латиняне» (Lativnoi), показана как вариативность его значений, так и эмоциональная нейтральность. Затронутая проблематика занимает важное место среди вопросов, связанных с представлениями средневекового человека о «Другом».Terminological analysis of medieval sources is an important mean of interpreting the text, but in the scientific and popular literature many of the terms are copied without sufficient understanding. In this paper, devoted to the term «Latins», the variability of its values and emotional neutrality were shown. Problems, touched upon here, occupy an important place among questions, concerned with ideas of the medieval man of «The Other».

description: Trichomonas vaginalis infection in men is an important cause of nongonococcal urethritis. Effective detection of the parasite in men using culture requires examination of multiple specimens. We compared culture and PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in urethral swabs, urine, and semen for T. vaginalis detection in male sexual partners of women with trichomoniasis identified by wet mount and culture. Trichomonads were detected by at least one positive test in 205/280 men (73.2%) who submitted at least one specimen for culture and PCR. Whereas InPouch TV culture detected only 46/205 cases (22.5%), PCR detected 201/205 (98.0%). Urethral swab cultures from men with urethritis were more likely to be positive with shorter incubation than specimens from men without urethritis. T. vaginalis was detected more often in men with wet-mount-positive partners. Even with a sensitive PCR assay, reliable detection of T. vaginalis in male partners required multiple specimens. The majority of male sexual partners in this study were infected, emphasizing the importance of partner evaluation and treatment.

description: Despite the simplicity of theoretical models of supersonically turbulent, isothermal media, their predictions successfully match the observed gas structure and star formation activity within low-pressure (P/k < 10^5 K cm^-3) molecular clouds in the solar neighbourhood. However, it is unknown if these theories extend to clouds in high-pressure (P/k > 10^7 K cm^-3) environments, like those in the Galaxy's inner 200 pc Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) and in the early Universe. Here we present ALMA 3mm dust continuum emission within a cloud, G0.253+0.016, which is immersed in the high-pressure environment of the CMZ. While the log-normal shape and dispersion of its column density PDF is strikingly similar to those of solar neighbourhood clouds, there is one important quantitative difference: its mean column density is 1--2 orders of magnitude higher. Both the similarity and difference in the PDF compared to those derived from solar neighbourhood clouds match predictions of turbulent cloud models given the high-pressure environment of the CMZ. The PDF shows a small deviation from log-normal at high column densities confirming the youth of G0.253+0.016. Its lack of star formation is consistent with the theoretically predicted, environmentally dependent volume density threshold for star formation which is orders of magnitude higher than that derived for solar neighbourhood clouds. Our results provide the first empirical evidence that the current theoretical understanding of molecular cloud structure derived from the solar neighbourhood also holds in high-pressure environments. We therefore suggest that these theories may be applicable to understand star formation in the early Universe.

description: In this article we develop an effective medium model to characterize the electron wave propagation in graphene based nanostructures with an electrostatic and magnetic vector potentials imposed on their surface. We use a numerical algorithm to determine the effective medium parameters of the heterostructure and calculate the electronic band structure of the system. We apply our formalism to analyze superlattices with solely a magnetic potential and reveal that the response of the structure remains reciprocal and is characterized by a decrease in charge carrier's velocity. We also study the response of superlattices with both potentials superimposed on graphene and show that the response of the system becomes nonreciprocal with a dispersion characterized by a tilted Dirac cone. We demonstrate that it is possible to alternate between a type-I, type-II or type-III Dirac cones by properly tuning the amplitude of the potentials.

description: В статье-рассуждении сделана попытка объемно осмыслить исторический путь России, который она проделала при Романовых. Эпоха династии Романовых является новым этапом реализации замыслов, заложенных еще при Рюриковичах в идею «Москва Третий Рим». И сама идея, и история России, вдохновленная ею, похожа на музыку. Поэтому в прошлом Российского царства и империи можно увидеть свои crescendo, allegro, andante. Статья посвящена 400-летнему юбилею династии Романовых, праздновавшемуся в 2013 году. Abstract: In the article-reasoning it attempts to comprehend the historical path of Russia, which it has done under the Romanovs. Era of Romanov dynasty is a new step in the implementation of plans, laid back in time of Rurikovich in the idea of «Moscow the Third Rome». This idea and the history of Russia, inspired by it, look like the music. So in the last Russian kingdom and empire can be seen its crescendo, allegro, andante. The article is devoted to the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, that was celebrated in 2013.
A Quantum Theory of Angle and Relative Phase Measurement

description: The complementarity between time and energy, as well as between an angle and a component of angular momentum, is described at three different layers of understanding. The phenomena of super-resolution are readily apparent in the quantum phase representation which also reveals that entanglement is not required. We modify Schwinger's harmonic oscillator model of angular momentum to include the case of photons. Therein the quantum angle measurement is shown to be equivalent to the measurement of the relative phase between the two oscillators. Two reasonable ways of dealing with degeneracy are shown to correspond to: a conditional measurement which takes a snapshot in absolute time (corresponding to adding probability amplitudes); and a marginal measurement which takes an average in absolute time (corresponding to adding probabilities). The sense in which distinguishability is a "matter of how long we look" is discussed and the meaning of the general theory is illustrated by taking the two oscillators to be circularly polarized photons. It is shown that an odd number of x-polarized photons will never have an angle in correspondence with the y-axis; but an even number of x-polarized photons always can! The behavior of an x-polarized coherent state is examined and the snapshot angular distributions are seen to evolve into two counter-rotating peaks resulting in considerable correspondence with the y-axis at the time for which a classical linear polarization vector would shrink to zero length. We also demonstrate how the probability distribution of absolute time (herein a measurable quantity, rather than just a parameter) has an influence on how these snapshot angular distributions evolve into a quantum version of the polarization ellipse.

description: An effective evasion strategy allows prey to survive encounters with predators. Prey are generally thought to escape in a direction that is either random or serves to maximize the minimum distance from the predator. Here we introduce a comprehensive approach to determine the most likely evasion strategy among multiple hypotheses and the role of biomechanical constraints on the escape response of prey fish. Through a consideration of six strategies with sensorimotor noise and previous kinematic measurements, our analysis shows that zebrafish larvae generally escape in a direction orthogonal to the predator's heading. By sensing only the predator's heading, this orthogonal strategy maximizes the distance from fast-moving predators, and, when operating within the biomechanical constraints of the escape response, it provides the best predictions of prey behavior among all alternatives. This work demonstrates a framework for resolving the strategic basis of evastion in predator-prey interactions, which could be applied to a broad diversity of animals.

description: Transformation optics aims to identify artificial materials and structures with desired electromagnetic properties by means of pertinent coordinate transformations. In general, such schemes are meant to appropriately tailor the constitutive parameters of metamaterials in order to control the trajectory of light in two and three dimensions. Here we introduce a new class of one-dimensional optical transformations that exploits the mathematical framework of supersymmetry (SUSY). This systematic approach can be utilized to synthesize photonic configurations with identical reflection and transmission characteristics, down to the phase, for all incident angles, thus rendering them perfectly indistinguishable to an external observer. Along these lines, low-contrast dielectric arrangements can be designed to fully mimic the behavior of a given high-contrast structure that would have been otherwise beyond the reach of available materials and existing fabrication techniques. Similar strategies can also be adopted to replace negative-permittivity domains, thus averting unwanted optical losses.

description: В статье на основе комплекса исторических источников и историографии предпринимается попытка реконструкции времени, обстоятельств и условий возникновения епископских центров на Руси в период княжения Владимира Святославича. Изучение данных аспектов осложнено тем, что в распоряжении исследователей имеются крайне скудные, противоречивые, спорадические известия источников, нередко легендарного характера. Однако их анализ позволяет сделать вывод, что инициатива организации епископских центров, поставление архиереев и материальное содержание церкви на начальном этапе ее существования осуществлялось политической властью Киева в лице Владимира СвятославичаThe reconstruction of time, circumstances and conditions of the Origins of Episcopal centers in Russia during the reign of Vladimir Svyatoslavich is attempted in the article on the basis of historical sources and historiography. The study of this prob-lem is complicated by the fact that at the disposal of researchers are extremely scanty, contradictory information in the sources, having often legendary character. However, their analysis allows us to conclude that the initiative of the foundation of Episcopal cen-tres, election of bishops and the content material of the Church at the initial stage of its existence was realized by political power of Kiev in the person of Vladimir Svyatoslavich.

description: The concept of the nuclear enhancement factor has been used since the beginning of gamma-ray astronomy. It provides a simple and convenient way to account for the contribution of nuclei (A>1) in cosmic rays (CRs) and in the interstellar medium (ISM) to the diffuse gamma-ray emission. An accurate treatment of the dominant emission process, such as hadronic interactions of CRs with the ISM, enables one to study CR acceleration processes, CR propagation in the ISM, and provides a reliable background model for searches of new phenomena. The Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) launched in 2008 provides excellent quality data in a wide energy range 30 MeV - 1 TeV where the diffuse emission accounts for the majority of photons. Exploiting its data to the fullest requires a new study of the processes of gamma-ray production in hadronic interactions. In this paper we point out that several commonly used studies of the nuclear enhancement factor miss to account for the spectrally averaged energy loss fraction which ensures that the energy fraction transferred to photons is averaged properly with the spectra of CR species. We present a new calculation of the spectrally averaged energy loss fraction and the nuclear enhancement factor using the QGSJET-II-04 and EPOS-LHC interaction models.
