description: The one-dimensional Holstein model and its generalizations have been studied extensively to understand the effects of electron-phonon interaction. The half-filled case is of particular interest, as it describes a transition from a metallic phase with a spin gap due to attractive backscattering to a Peierls insulator with charge-density-wave (CDW) order. Our quantum Monte Carlo results support the existence of a metallic phase with dominant power-law charge correlations, as described by the Luther-Emery fixed point. We demonstrate that for Holstein and also for purely fermionic models the spin gap significantly complicates finite-size numerical studies, and explains inconsistent previous results for Luttinger parameters and phase boundaries. On the other hand, no such complications arise in spinless models. The correct low-energy theory of the spinful Holstein model is argued to be that of singlet bipolarons with a repulsive, mutual interaction. This picture naturally explains the existence of a metallic phase, but also implies that gapless Luttinger liquid theory is not applicable.

description: Tissue factor (TF) is best known as a cellular initiator of coagulation, but it is also a multifunctional protein that has been implicated in multiple pathophysiologic conditions, including asthma. In the lung, airway epithelial cells express TF, but it is unknown how TF expression is regulated by asthma-associated mediators. We investigated the role of IL-13, a type 2 cytokine, alone and in combination with compressive stress, which mimics asthmatic bronchoconstriction, on TF expression and release of TF-positive extracellular vesicles from primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells. Well-differentiated normal human bronchial epithelial cells were treated with IL-13 and compressive stress, alone and in combination. TF mRNA, protein and activity were measured in the cells and conditioned media. TF was also measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of allergen-challenged mice and patients with asthma. IL-13 and compressive stress increased TF expression, but only compressive stress induced TF-positive extracellular vesicle release. Pretreatment with IL-13 augmented compressive stress–induced TF expression and release. TF protein and activity in BAL fluid were increased in allergen-sensitized and -challenged mice. TF was elevated in the BAL fluid of patients with mild asthma after an allergen challenge. Our in vitro and in vivo data indicate close cooperation between mechanical and inflammatory stimuli on TF expression and release of TF-positive extracellular vesicles in the lungs, which may contribute to pathophysiology of asthma.

description: Pain is common in childhood and may present subsequent to an injury or procedure, as a consequence of disease, or without any identifiable cause. Many interventions for children have been shown to be effective in reducing pain and pain-related outcomes (Birnie et al. 2018; Fisher et al. 2018; Hechler et al. 2015). However, demonstrating an effect alone does not explain how the intervention works. We need to define not only that these intervention work for children, but also how and why they work. We can do so by identifying mechanisms of therapeutic interventions (Kazdin & Nock 2003; Weersing & Weisz 2002), often referred to as ‘mediators’. Testing mediators can contribute to our knowledge about how treatments work (e.g. if a mediator is significant), how treatments do not work (e.g., if a mediator is not significant) and which mechanisms are most important (e.g. comparing mediators). This knowledge can help determine key targets for future interventions. Extant systematic reviews have synthesised mediators of paediatric interventions aimed at changing physical activity levels (Brown et al. 2013; Lubans, Foster & Biddle 2008), dietary behaviour (Cerin, Barnett & Baranowski 2009) and anxiety, depression and disruptive behaviour (Weersing & Weisz 2002). For adult pain, systematic reviews have explored mediators of interventions for musculoskeletal pain (Mansell, Kamper & Kent 2013) and back pain (Lee et al. 2016). However, there is no systematic review considering potential mediators of interventions for children with pain. Therefore, evidence on mediators that may explain how interventions lead to changes in pain-related outcomes in children is not available.

description: In this review, we discuss recent experiments that investigate how the quantum sate of a superconducting qubit evolves during measurement. We provide a pedagogical overview of the measurement process, when the qubit is dispersively coupled to a microwave frequency cavity, and the qubit state is encoded in the phase of a microwave tone that probes the cavity. A continuous measurement record is used to reconstruct the individual quantum trajectories of the qubit state, and quantum state tomography is performed to verify that the state has been tracked accurately. Furthermore, we discuss ensembles of trajectories, time-symmetric evolution, two-qubit trajectories, and potential applications in measurement-based quantum error correction.

description: Excerpt from the report: Agricultural workers have been at a severe disadvantage in dealing with the agricultural outlook for the Southern States and many of the problems of cotton economics because of inadequate statistical information. Cotton statistics are published in apparent abundance, but for the most part they fail to meet analytical requirements, or are so widely scattered as to be actually unavailable for most workers. For several years this Division has been assembling, evaluating, and organizing these statistics. This publication presents many of the major statistical series on cotton and the related problems of demand, price level, and alternative crops, found necessary for understanding world cotton economics and appraising cotton situations.
Self-energy effects in functional renormalization group flows of the two-dimensional $t$-$t'$ Hubbard model away from van Hove filling
Creators: name: Eberlein, Andreas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We study the impact of the fermionic self-energy on one-loop functional renormalization group flows of the two-dimensional $t$-$t'$ Hubbard model, with emphasis on electronic densities away from van Hove filling. In the presence of antiferromagnetic hot spots, antiferromagnetic fluctuations lead to a flattening of the Fermi surface, shift magnetic phase boundaries and significantly enhance critical scales. We trace back this effect to the presence of a magnetic first order transition. For some parameters, the first order character of the latter is reduced by self-energy effects. For reliably determining phase diagrams, the fermionic self-energy should thus be taken into account in functional renormalization group studies if scattering between hot spots is important.

description: Resident immune cells (e.g., macrophages [MΦs]) and airway mucus clearance both contribute to a healthy lung environment. To investigate interactions between pulmonary MΦ function and defective mucus clearance, a genetic model of lysozyme M (LysM) promoter–mediated MΦ depletion was generated, characterized, and crossed with the sodium channel β subunit transgenic (Scnn1b-Tg) mouse model of defective mucus clearance. Diphtheria toxin A–mediated depletion of LysM+ pulmonary MΦs in wild-type mice with normal mucus clearance resulted in lethal pneumonia in 24% of neonates. The pneumonias were dominated by Pasteurella pneumotropica and accompanied by emaciation, neutrophilic inflammation, and elevated Th1 cytokines. The incidence of emaciation and pneumonia reached 51% when LysM+ MΦ depletion was superimposed on the airway mucus clearance defect of Scnn1b-Tg mice. In LysM+ MΦ-depleted Scnn1b-Tg mice, pneumonias were associated with a broader spectrum of bacterial species and a significant reduction in airway mucus plugging. Bacterial burden (CFUs) was comparable between Scnn1b-Tg and nonpneumonic LysM+ MΦ-depleted Scnn1b-Tg mice. However, the nonpneumonic LysM+ MΦ-depleted Scnn1b-Tg mice exhibited increased airway inflammation, the presence of neutrophilic infiltration, and increased levels of inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared with Scnn1b-Tg mice. Collectively, these data identify key MΦ–mucus clearance interactions with respect to both infectious and inflammatory components of muco-obstructive lung disease.

description: We suggest a new mechanism for the energy loss of fast heavy quarks in quark-gluon plasma. This mechanism is based on pion production caused by the anomalous chromomagnetic quark-gluon-pion interaction induced by strong topological fluctuations of the gluon fields represented by instantons. We found that this mechanism gives a considerable contribution to the collisional energy loss of a heavy quark in quark-gluon plasma, which shows a nontrivial role of nonperturbative phenomena in strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma.

description: Adherence to a drug regimen can be a strong predictor of health outcomes, and validated measures of adherence are necessary at all stages of therapy from drug development to prescription. Many of the existing metrics of drug adherence (e.g., self-report, pill counts, blood monitoring) have limitations, and analysis of hair strands has recently emerged as an objective alternative. Traditional methods of hair analysis based on LC-MS/MS (segmenting strands at ≥1 cm length) are not capable of preserving a temporal record of drug intake at higher resolution than approximately 1 month. Here, we evaluated the detectability of HIV antiretrovirals (ARVs) in hair from a range of drug classes using infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) with 100 μm resolution. Infrared laser desorption of hair strands was shown to penetrate into the strand cortex, allowing direct measurement by MSI without analyte extraction. Using optimized desorption conditions, a linear correlation between IR-MALDESI ion abundance and LC-MS/MS response was observed for six common ARVs with estimated limits of detection less than or equal to 1.6 ng/mg hair. The distribution of efavirenz (EFV) was then monitored in a series of hair strands collected from HIV infected, virologically suppressed patients. Because of the role hair melanin plays in accumulation of basic drugs (like most ARVs), an MSI method to quantify the melanin biomarker pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (PTCA) was evaluated as a means of normalizing drug response between patients to develop broadly applicable adherence criteria.

(Con)Tradi(c)tion and (R)Evolution Popular Heritage in Contemporary Architecture
Creators: name: Jorge, Pedro Fonseca
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This paper approaches vernacular and popular architectural definitions, to determine if they carry the same meaning, or if there is a formal and theoretical differentiation between their models and typology. The state of the art is based upon previous literature, in which “Arquitectura Popular em Portugal” stands out, but also in fieldwork done by the author, where vernacular and popular architectural models were surveyed in the Alcobaça city’s surroundings, mainly through the 1961 council’s building applications archive files. Further research was done over the vernacular and popular terms in linguistics, which gave the needed input to, according to the architectural model’s recollection, define the former as a spatially and culturally circumscribed and closed architecture, while the latter, while still having vernacular roots, opens to formal and theoretical external influences.

description: Within the heavy quark expansion techniques for the heavy hadron weak decays we analytically compute the coefficient of the power suppressed dimension five chromo-magnetic operator at next-to-leading order of QCD perturbation theory with the full dependence on the final state quark mass. We present explicit expressions for the total width of inclusive semileptonic decays including the power suppressed terms and for a few moments of decay differential distributions. One of the important phenomenological applications of our results is precision analysis of the decays of bottom mesons to charmed final states and extraction of the numerical value for the CKM matrix entry |V_{cb}|.

Fragile surface zero-energy flat bands in three-dimensional chiral superconductors

description: We study surface zero-energy flat bands in three-dimensional chiral superconductors with $p_z (p_x +ip_y)^ν$-wave pairing symmetry ($ν$ is a nonzero integer), based on topological numbers and tunneling conductance. It is shown that the surface flat bands are fragile against (i) the misorientation angle and (ii) surface Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The fragility of (i) is specific to chiral SCs, whereas that of (ii) happens for general odd-parity SCs. We demonstrate that these flat band instabilities vanish or suppress a zero-bias conductance peak in a normal/insulator/superconductor junction, which behavior is clearly different from high-$T_c$ cuprates and noncentrosymmetric superconductors. By calculating the angle resolved conductance, we also discuss a topological surface state associated with the coexistence of line and point nodes.

description: Corrections to general relativity that introduce long-ranged scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled to curvature typically predict that neutron stars possess a non-trivial scalar field profile. An observer far from a star is most sensitive to the spherically-symmetric piece of this profile that decays linearly with the inverse of the distance, the so-called scalar charge, which is related to the emission of dipolar radiation from compact binaries. The presence of dipolar radiation has the potential to very strongly constrain extended theories of gravity. These facts may lead people to believe that gravitational theories with long-ranged scalar fields have already been constrained strongly from binary pulsar observations. Here we challenge this "lore" by investigating the decoupling limit of Gauss-Bonnet gravity as an example, in which the scalar field couples linearly to the Gauss-Bonnet density in the action. We prove a theorem that neutron stars in this theory cannot possess a scalar charge. Thus Gauss-Bonnet gravity evades the strong binary pulsar constraints on dipole radiation. We discuss the astrophysical systems yielding the best constraints on Gauss-Bonnet gravity and related quadratic gravity theories. To achieve this we explicitly compute the scalar charge for slowly-rotating neutron stars in quadratic gravity theories. In generic case, either neutron star-binary or neutron star-black hole systems can be used to constrain the theory, but Gauss-Bonnet gravity evades the neutron star-binary constraints. However, black holes in Gauss-Bonnet gravity do anchor scalar charge. The best constraints on Gauss-Bonnet gravity will thus come from black hole observations, for example via pulsar-black hole binaries. We estimate these constraints to be ten times better than the current estimated bound, and also include estimated constraints on generic quadratic gravity theories.

description: Phenomena associated with microscale electrophoresis separations cannot, in many cases, be applied to the nanoscale. Thus, understanding the electrophoretic characteristics associated with the nanoscale will help formulate relevant strategies that can optimize the performance of separations carried out on columns with at least one dimension below 150 nm. Electric double layer (EDL) overlap, diffusion, and adsorption/desorption properties and/or dielectrophoretic effects giving rise to stick/slip motion are some of the processes that can play a role in determining the efficiency of nanoscale electrophoretic separations. We investigated the performance characteristics of electrophoretic separations carried out in nanoslits fabricated in poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, devices. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as the model system with tracking of their transport via dark field microscopy and localized surface plasmon resonance. AgNPs capped with citrate groups and the negatively charged PMMA walls (in...

description: Quantization becomes a new way to study classical game theory since quantum strategies and quantum games have been proposed. In previous studies, many typical game models, such as prisoner's dilemma, battle of the sexes, Hawk-Dove game, have been investigated by using quantization approaches. In this paper, several game models of opinion formations have been quantized based on the Marinatto-Weber quantum game scheme, a frequently used scheme to convert classical games to quantum versions. Our results show that the quantization can change fascinatingly the properties of some classical opinion formation game models so as to generate win-win outcomes.

Evaluation of Drug Concentrations Delivered by Microiontophoresis

description: Microiontophoresis uses an electric current to eject a drug solution from a glass capillary and is often utilized for targeted delivery in neurochemical investigations. The amount of drug ejected, and its effective concentration at the tip, has historically been difficult to determine, which has precluded its use in quantitative studies. To address this, a method called controlled iontophoresis was developed which employs a carbon-fiber microelectrode incorporated into a multibarreled iontophoretic probe to detect the ejection of electroactive species. Here, we evaluate the accuracy of this method. To do this, we eject different concentrations of quinpirole, a D2 receptor agonist, into a brain slice containing the dorsal striatum, a brain region with a high density of dopamine terminals. Local electrical stimulation was used to evoke dopamine release, and inhibitory actions of quinpirole on this release were examined. The amount of drug ejected was estimated by detection of a coejected electrochemical mar...

Interrogating Surface Functional Group Heterogeneity of Activated Thermoplastics Using Super-Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

description: We present a novel approach for characterizing surfaces utilizing super-resolution fluorescence microscopy with subdiffraction limit spatial resolution. Thermoplastic surfaces were activated by UV/O3 or O2 plasma treatment under various conditions to generate pendant surface-confined carboxylic acids (-COOH). These surface functional groups were then labeled with a photoswitchable dye and interrogated using single-molecule, localization-based, super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to elucidate the surface heterogeneity of these functional groups across the activated surface. Data indicated nonuniform distributions of these functional groups for both COC and PMMA thermoplastics with the degree of heterogeneity being dose dependent. In addition, COC demonstrated relative higher surface density of functional groups compared to PMMA for both UV/O3 and O2 plasma treatment. The spatial distribution of -COOH groups secured from super-resolution imaging were used to simulate nonuniform patterns of electroosmotic flow in thermoplastic nanochannels. Simulations were compared to single-particle tracking of fluorescent nanoparticles within thermoplastic nanoslits to demonstrate the effects of surface functional group heterogeneity on the electrokinetic transport process.
A semi-discrete Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and its coupled integrable system

description: We establish connections between two cascades of integrable systems generated from the continuum limits of the Hirota-Miwa equation and its remarkable nonlinear counterpart under the Miwa transformation respectively. Among these equations, we are mainly concerned with the semi-discrete bilinear Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation which is seldomly studied in literature. We present both of its Casorati and Grammian determinant solutions. Through the Pfaffianization procedure proposed by Hirota and Ohta, we are able to derive the coupled integrable system for the semi-discrete KP equation.

description: The aim of this study is to analyze the association between stress and the concepts of resilience, creativity, and a new concept named intellectual self-beliefs, i.e. to get a general idea of how much these concepts could possibly explain the stress level a person would feel. We have decided to provide an exploratory research basis for further confirmatory research designs by proposing these three questions: To what extent is resilience correlated with stress levels? To what extent is creativity correlated with stress levels? Is there any existing correlation between the new concept of intellectual self-beliefs and the stress a person experiences?
A hot Jupiter for breakfast? --- Early stellar ingestion of planets may be common

description: Models of planet formation and evolution predict that giant planets form efficiently in protoplanetary disks, that most of these migrate rapidly to the disk's inner edge, and that, if the arriving planet's mass is $\lesssim$ Jupiter's mass, it could remain stranded near that radius. We argue that such planets would be ingested by tidal interaction with the host star on a timescale $\lesssim1\,$Gyr, and that, in the case of a solar-type host, this would cause the stellar spin to approach the direction of the ingested planet's orbital axis even if the two were initially highly misaligned. Primordially misaligned stars whose effective temperatures are $\gtrsim6250\,$K cannot be realigned in this way because, in contrast with solar-type hosts, their angular momenta are typically higher than the orbital angular momentum of the ingested planet as a result of inefficient magnetic braking and of a comparatively large moment of inertia. Hot Jupiters located farther out from the star can contribute to this process, but their effect is weaker because the tidal interaction strength decreases rapidly with increasing semimajor axis. We demonstrate that, if $\sim50\%$ of planetary systems harbored a stranded hot Jupiter, this scenario can in principle account for (1) the good alignment exhibited by planets around cool stars irrespective of the planet's mass or orbital period, (2) the prevalence of misaligned planets around hot stars, (3) the apparent upper bound on the mass of hot Jupiters on retrograde orbits, and (4) the inverse correlation between stellar spin periods and hot-Jupiter masses.
