description: Background: Propensity score matching has become a popular method for estimating causal treatment effects in non-randomized studies. However, for time-to-event outcomes, the estimation of hazard ratios based on propensity scores can be challenging if omitted or unobserved covariates are present. Not accounting for such covariates could lead to treatment estimates, differing from the estimate of interest. However, researchers often do not know whether (and, if so, which) covariates will cause this divergence. Methods: To address this issue, we extended a previously described method, Dynamic Landmarking, which was originally developed for randomized trials. The method is based on successively deletion of sorted observations and gradually fitting univariable Cox models. In addition, the balance of observed, but omitted covariates can be measured by the sum of squared z-differences. Results: By simulation we show, that Dynamic Landmarking provides a good visual tool for detecting and distinguishing treatment effect estimates underlying built-in selection or confounding bias. We illustrate the approach with a data set from cardiac surgery and provide some recommendations on how to use and interpret Dynamic Landmarking in propensity score matched studies. Conclusion: Dynamic Landmarking is a useful post-hoc diagnosis tool for visualizing whether an estimated hazard ratio could be distorted by confounding or built-in selection bias.

description: We study a structure of holomorphic quantum contributions to the effective action for ${\cal N}={1/2}$ noncommutative Wess-Zumino model. Using the symbol operator techniques we present the one-loop chiral effective potential in a form of integral over proper time of the appropriate heat kernel. We prove that this kernel can be exactly found. As a result we obtain the exact integral representation of the one-loop effective potential. Also we study the expansion of the effective potential in a series in powers of the chiral superfield $Φ$ and derivative $D^2Φ$ and construct a procedure for systematic calculation of the coefficients in the series. We show that all terms in the series without derivatives can be summed up in an explicit form.

description: The properties of low-density, low-energy matter wavepackets propagating through waveguide bends are investigated. Time-dependent quantum mechanical calculations using simple harmonic oscillator confining potentials are performed for a range of parameters close to those accessible by recent ``atom chip''-based experiments. We compare classical calculations based on Ehrenfest's theorem to these results to determine whether classical mechanics can predict the amount of transverse excitation as measured by the transverse heating. The present results thus elucidate some of the limits for which matter wave propagation through microstructures can be reliably considered using classical particle motion.

description: One of the main benchmarks in direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional turbulence is the Kolmogorov 1941 prediction for third-order structure functions with homogeneous and isotropic statistics in the infinite-Reynolds number limit. Previous DNS techniques to obtain isotropic statistics have relied on time-averaging structure functions in a few directions over many eddy turnover times, using forcing schemes carefully constructed to generate isotropic data. Motivated by recent theoretical work which removes isotropy requirements by spherically averaging structure functions over all directions, we will present results which supplement long-time averaging by angle-averaging over up to 73 directions from a single flow snapshot. The directions are among those natural to a square computational grid, and are weighted to approximate the spherical average. The averaging process is cheap, and for the Kolmogorov 1941 4/5ths law, reasonable results can be obtained from a single snapshot of data. This procedure may be used to investigate the isotropic statistics of any quantity of interest.

description: Long duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs) may serve as standard candles to constrain cosmological parameters by probing the Hubble diagram well beyond the range of redshift currently accessible using type-Ia supernovae. The standardization of GRBs is based on phenomenological relations between two or more parameters found from spectral modeling, of which one is strongly dependent on the cosmological model. The Amati relation links the source-frame energy ${E_{\mathrm{i,p}}}$ at which the prompt gamma-ray spectral energy distribution $νF_ν$ peaks, and the isotropic-equivalent bolometric energy ${E_{\mathrm{iso}}}$ emitted during the prompt phase. We performed spectral analysis of 26 GRBs with known redshift that have been detected by the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) during its nine years of operations from July 2008 to September 2017, thus extending the computation of ${E_{\mathrm{iso}}}$ to the 100 MeV range. Multiple components are required to fit the spectra of a number of GRBs. We found that the Amati relation is satisfied by the 25 LGRBs, with best fit parameters similar to previous studies that used data from different satellite experiments, while the only short GRB with known redshift is an outlier. Using the Amati relation we extend the Hubble diagram to redshift 4.35 and constrain the Hubble constant and dark-energy density in the $Λ$CDM model, with Fermi-LAT GRBs alone and together with another sample of 94 GRBs and with the latest Supernovae type-Ia data. Our results are consistent with the currently acceptable ranges of those cosmological parameters within errors.

description: Silicon crystal puller (SCP) is a key equipment in silicon wafer manufacture, which is, in turn, the base material for the most currently used integrated circuit (IC) chips. With the development of the techniques, the demand for longer mono-silicon crystal rod with larger diameter is continuously increasing in order to reduce the manufacture time and the price of the wafer. This demand calls for larger SCP with increasing height, however, it causes serious swing phenomenon of the crystal seed. The strong swing of the seed causes difficulty in the solidification and increases the risk of mono-silicon growth failure.The main aim of this paper is to analyze the nonlinear dynamics in the FSRL system of the SCP. A mathematical model for the swing motion of the FSRL system is derived. The influence of relevant parameters, such as system damping, excitation amplitude and rotation speed, on the stability and the responses of the system are analyzed. The stability of the equilibrium, bifurcation and chaotic motion are demonstrated, which are often observed in practical situations. Melnikov method is used to derive the possible parameter region that leads to chaotic motion. Three routes to chaos are identified in the FSRL system, including period doubling, symmetry-breaking bifurcation and interior crisis. The work in this paper explains the complex dynamics in the FSRL system of the SCP, which will be helpful for the SCP designers in order to avoid the swing phenomenon in the SCP.
Sensor-Independent Illumination Estimation for DNN Models

description: While modern deep neural networks (DNNs) achieve state-of-the-art results for illuminant estimation, it is currently necessary to train a separate DNN for each type of camera sensor. This means when a camera manufacturer uses a new sensor, it is necessary to retrain an existing DNN model with training images captured by the new sensor. This paper addresses this problem by introducing a novel sensor-independent illuminant estimation framework. Our method learns a sensor-independent working space that can be used to canonicalize the RGB values of any arbitrary camera sensor. Our learned space retains the linear property of the original sensor raw-RGB space and allows unseen camera sensors to be used on a single DNN model trained on this working space. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on several different camera sensors and show it provides performance on par with state-of-the-art methods that were trained per sensor.

description: Professor Ilkka Hanski made seminal contributions to both empirical and theoretical ecology and evolutionary biology, in particular metapopulation biology, throughout his scientific career. He started his career with dung beetle ecology, earning his doctorate at University of Oxford in 1979. He developed the rest of his career at University of Helsinki, where he was appointed professor in ecology in 1993 and academy professor in 2006. Hanski's most influential research was based on empirical work on the Glanville fritillary metapopulation in the Åland Islands, started in 1991, and continued until his death. His early research focused on ecological aspects of metapopulation biology, such as how the spatial structure of a landscape influences extinction thresholds, whereas his later work focused on genetic and evolutionary processes, such as maintenance of genetic variation by selection pressures varying with landscape structure. During the last years of his career, Hanski was a pioneer in the field of eco-evolutionary dynamics, showing how molecular-level underpinnings of trait variation can explain rapid evolutionary changes in natural populations. Hanski actively applied his research findings to conservation biology, involving himself in debates ranging from forest conservation in Finland to the links between human health and biodiversity. He was an exceptionally devoted group leader and mentor of younger researchers. His Metapopulation Research Centre grew gradually from a group consisting of Hanski and a few PhD students into a centre of 70 researchers.

On the Holton-Lindzen-Plumb model for mean flow reversals in stratified fluids

description: The Holton-Lindzen-Plumb model describes the spontaneous emergence of mean flow reversals in stratified fluids. It has played a central role in understanding the quasi-biennial oscillation of equatorial winds in Earth's stratosphere and has arguably become a linchpin of wave-mean flow interaction theory in geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics. The derivation of the model's equation from primitive equations follows from several assumptions, including quasi-linear approximations, WKB expansion of the wavefield, simplifications of boundary layer terms, among others. Starting from the two-dimensional, non-rotating, Boussinesq equations, we present in this paper a self-consistent derivation of the Holton-Lindzen-Plumb model and show the existence of a distinguished limit for which all approximations remains valid. We furthermore discuss the important role of boundary conditions, and the relevance of this model to describe secondary bifurcations associated with a quasi-periodic route to chaos.
Warping of Accretion Disks with Magnetically Driven Outflows: A Possible Origin for Jet Precession

description: Current theoretical models for the outflows/jets from AGN, X-ray binaries and young stellar objects involve large-scale magnetic fields threading an underlying accretion disk. We suggest that such a disk is subjected to warping instability and retrograde precession driven by magnetic torques associated with the outflow. The growth timescale for the disk warp and the precession period are of order the radial infall time of the disk. These effects may be relevant to jet precession and other variabilities observed in many systems.

description: Purpose, To develop a high scanning efficiency, motion corrected imaging strategy for free-breathing pulmonary MRI by combining a motion compensation reconstruction with a UTE acquisition, called iMoCo UTE. Methods, An optimized golden angle ordering radial UTE sequence was used to continuously acquire data for 5 minutes. All readouts were grouped to different respiratory motion states based on self-navigator signals, then motion resolved data was reconstructed by XD Golden angle RAdial Sparse Parallel reconstruction (XD GRASP). One state from the motion resolved images was selected as a reference, and motion fields from the other states to the reference were derived via non-rigid registration. Finally, all motion resolved data and motion fields were reconstructed by using an iterative motion compensation reconstruction with a total generalized variation sparse constraint. Results, The iMoCo UTE strategy was evaluated in volunteers and non-sedated pediatric patient(4-6 y/o) studies. Images reconstructed with iMoCo UTE provided sharper anatomical lung structures, and higher apparent SNR and CNR, compared to using other motion correction strategies, such as soft-gating, motion resolved reconstruction, and non-rigid motion compensation(MoCo). iMoCo UTE also showed promising results in an infant study. Conclusions, The proposed iMoCo UTE combines self-navigation, motion modeling, and a compressed sensing reconstruction to increase scan efficiency, SNR, and reduce respiratory motion in lung MRI. This proposed strategy shows improvements in free breathing lung MRI scans, especially in very challenging application situations, such as pediatric MRI studies.
Shaping the Kuiper belt size spectrum by shattering large but strengthless bodies

description: The observed size distribution of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs)--small icy and rocky solar system bodies orbiting beyond Neptune--is well described by a power law at large KBO sizes. However, recent work by Bernstein et al. (2003) indicates that the size spectrum breaks and becomes shallower for KBOs smaller than about 70 km in size. Here we show that we expect such a break at KBO radius ~40 km since destructive collisions are frequent for smaller KBOs. Specifically, we assume that KBOs are rubble piles with low material strength rather than solid monoliths. This gives a power-law slope q~3 where the number N(r) of KBOs larger than a size r is given by $N(r) \propto r^{1-q}$; the break location follows from this slope through a self-consistent calculation. The existence of this break, the break's location, and the power-law slope we expect below the break are consistent with the findings of Bernstein et al. (2003). The agreement with observations indicates that KBOs are effectively strengthless rubble piles.

Type Ia Supernova Explosion: Gravitationally Confined Detonation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a new mechanism for Type Ia supernova explosions in massive white dwarfs. The proposed scenario follows from relaxing the assumption of symmetry in the model and involves a detonation created in an unconfined environment. The explosion begins with an essentially central ignition of stellar material initiating a deflagration. This deflagration results in the formation of a buoyantly-driven bubble of hot material that reaches the stellar surface at supersonic speeds. The bubble breakout forms a strong pressure wave that laterally accelerates fuel-rich outer stellar layers. This material, confined by gravity to the white dwarf, races along the stellar surface and is focused at the location opposite to the point of the bubble breakout. These streams of nuclear fuel carry enough mass and energy to trigger a detonation just above the stellar surface. The flow conditions at that moment support a detonation that will incinerate the white dwarf and result in an energetic explosion. The stellar expansion following the deflagration redistributes stellar mass in a way that ensures production of intermediate mass and iron group elements consistent with observations. The ejecta will have a strongly layered structure with a mild amount of asymmetry following from the early deflagration phase. This asymmetry, combined with the amount of stellar expansion determined by details of the evolution (principally the energetics of deflagration, timing of detonation, and structure of the progenitor), can be expected to create a family of mildly diverse Type Ia supernova explosions.

The experiments were performed for a low rotational velocity of a crankshaft and a relatively large spark advance angle. We show that the combustion process has many chaotic features. Surprisingly, the reconstructed attractor has a characteristic butterfly shape similar to a chaotic attractor of Lorentz type. The suitable recurrence plot shows that the dynamics of the combustion is a nonlinear multidimensional process mediated by stochastic noise.

description: We develop a parameter-free velocity-dependent one-scale model for the evolution of the characteristic length $L$ and root-mean-square velocity $σ_v$ of standard domain wall networks in homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies. We compare the frictionless scaling solutions predicted by our model, in the context of cosmological models having a power law evolution of the scale factor $a$ as a function of the cosmic time $t$ ($a \propto t^λ$, $0< λ< 1$), with the corresponding results obtained using field theory numerical simulations. We show that they agree well (within a few $\%$) for root-mean-square velocities $σ_v$ smaller than $0.2 \, c$ ($λ\ge 0.9$), where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum, but significant discrepancies occur for larger values of $σ_v$ (smaller values of $λ$). We identify problems with the determination of $L$ and $σ_v$ from numerical field theory simulations which might potentially be responsible for these discrepancies.

Effect of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) on the development of fetal growth restriction in pregnancies with impaired uteroplacental perfusion at midgestation : a randomized trial

description: Background: Fetal growth restriction is strongly associated with impaired placentation and abnormal uteroplacental blood flow. Nitric oxide donors such as pentaerythritol tetranitrate are strong vasodilators and protect the endothelium. Recently, we demonstrated in a randomized controlled pilot study a 38% relative risk reduction for the development of fetal growth restriction or perinatal death following administration of pentaerythritol tetranitrate to pregnant women at risk, identified by impaired uterine perfusion at midgestation. Results of this monocenter study prompted the hypothesis that pentaerythritol tetranitrate might have an effect in pregnancies with compromised placental function as a secondary prophylaxis. Objective: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the nitric oxide donor pentaerythritol tetranitrate reduces fetal growth restriction and perinatal death in pregnant women with impaired placental perfusion at midgestation in a multicenter trial. Study design: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 2 parallel groups of pregnant women presenting with a mean uterine artery pulsatility index >95th percentile at 19+0 to 22+6 weeks of gestation were randomized to 50-mg Pentalong or placebo twice daily. Participants were assigned to high- or low-risk groups according to their medical history before randomization was performed block-wise with a fixed block length stratified by center and risk group. The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite outcome of perinatal death or development of fetal growth restriction. Secondary endpoints were neonatal and maternal outcome parameters. Results: Between August 2017 and March 2020, 317 participants were included in the study and 307 were analyzed. The cumulative incidence of the primary outcome was 41.1% in the pentaerythritol tetranitrate group and 45.5% in the placebo group (unadjusted relative risk, 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-1.17; adjusted relative risk, 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-1.17; P=.43). Secondary outcomes such as preterm birth (unadjusted relative risk, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.56-0.94; adjusted relative risk, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.56-0.94; P=.01) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (unadjusted relative risk, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.46-0.93; adjusted relative risk, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.46-0.92; P=0.01) were reduced. Conclusion: Our study failed to show an impact of pentaerythritol tetranitrate on the development of fetal growth restriction and perinatal death in pregnant women with impaired uterine perfusion at midgestation. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate significantly reduced secondary outcome parameters such as the incidence of preterm birth and pregnancy-induced hypertension in these pregnancies.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We implement a capacitorless model of a VO2 oscillator by introducing into the circuit of a field-effect transistor and a VO2 thermal sensor, which provide negative current feedback with a time delay. We compare the dynamics of current and voltage oscillations on a switch in a circuit with a capacitor and without a capacitor. The oscillation period in the capacitorless model is controlled in a narrow range by changing the distance between the switch and the sensor. The capacitorless model provides the possibility of significant miniaturization of the oscillator circuit, and it is important for the implementation of large arrays of oscillators in oscillatory neural networks to solve the problem of classification and pattern recognition.

description: Soil organic matter (SOM) transformation processes are regulated by the activities of plants, microbes, and fauna. Compared with plants and microbes, effects of soil fauna are less understood because of their high taxonomic and functional diversity, and mix of direct and indirect effect mechanisms. Trait-based approaches offer a generic perspective to quantify mechanistic relationships between soil fauna and SOM transformations, including decomposition, translocation, and stabilisation of organic carbon. Yet, at present, we lack a consensus concerning relevant key effect traits of soil fauna (i.e. those affecting ecosystem functioning). Here, we address this knowledge gap by focusing on relationships between soil fauna effect traits and SOM transformations. Based on existing literature, we identify key processes linked to SOM transformations, and fauna effect traits universally applicable across taxa and soil types, and discuss the process-trait links. We define eight SOM transformation processes that are directly affected by soil fauna: (i) litter mass loss, (ii) litter fragmentation, (iii) SOM aggregation in faeces, (iv) SOM aggregation in soil mineral particles, (v) decomposition of faeces, (vi) SOM and mineral translocation, (vii) pore space creation and maintenance and (viii) SOM stabilisation. We link these processes to general effect traits classified into four categories: (a) food selection and ingestion, (b), digestion and excretion, (c) mobility, and (d) body mass and metabolic rate. We also propose proxies when effect trait measurements are laborious. The proposed links between effect traits and SOM transformation processes need to be validated in targeted experiments. We urge researchers to obtain quantitative experimental data, together with metabolic approaches, to integratively quantify soil fauna contributions to soil functioning.

description: We analyze the collective behavior of neutrinos and antineutrinos in a dense background. Using the Wigner transform technique, it is shown that the interaction can be modelled by a coupled system of nonlinear Vlasov-like equations. From these equations, we derive a dispersion relation for neutrino-antineutrino interactions on a general background. The dispersion relation admits a novel modulational instability. The results are examined, together with a numerical example, and we discuss the induced density inhomogeneities using parameters relevant to the early Universe.

description: Patrick Mollison was a pioneer in blood transfusion, playing a major role in changing it from a risky procedure to one which is now extremely safe. The urgent need for blood during World War II provided a stimulus for the development of this important lifesaving measure. His first major contribution was to devise a mechanism whereby blood could be stored for more than just short periods. Mixing donated blood with acid–citrate–dextrose (ACD) became a standard procedure for almost 30 years and was used worldwide. He later took a special interest in haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), which was largely due to Rhesus incompatibility between mother and baby. He was also involved with work which eventually led to HDN becoming preventable with the use of anti-D treatment of mothers. He wrote the first standard textbook on blood transfusion; almost 70 years later it is in its eleventh edition and still bears his name in the title. He spent his working life in blood transfusion and the study of the scientific aspects of this subject, developing a university department at Hammersmith Hospital and publishing almost 200 scientific papers as well as the textbook. He was very much a clinical scientist rather than a front-line clinician, although he was physician to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and was present at the birth of all four of her children.

Efficient Langevin dynamics for "noisy" forces

description: Efficient Boltzmann-sampling using first-principles methods is challenging for extended systems due to the steep scaling of electronic structure methods with the system size. Stochastic approaches provide a gentler system-size dependency at the cost of introducing "noisy" forces, which serve to limit the efficiency of the sampling. In the first-order Langevin dynamics (FOLD), efficient sampling is achievable by combining a well-chosen preconditioning matrix S with a time-step-bias-mitigating propagator (Mazzola et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 118, 015703 (2017)). However, when forces are noisy, S is set equal to the force-covariance matrix, a procedure which severely limits the efficiency and the stability of the sampling. Here, we develop a new, general, optimal, and stable sampling approach for FOLD under noisy forces. We apply it for silicon nanocrystals treated with stochastic density functional theory and show efficiency improvements by an order-of-magnitude.
