description: To the extent that pharmacokinetics influence the effectiveness of nonliving therapeutics, so too do cellular kinetics influence the efficacy of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) -T cell therapy. Like conventional therapeutics, CAR-T cell therapies undergo a distribution phase upon administration. Unlike other therapeutics, however, this distribution phase is followed by subsequent phases of expansion, contraction, and persistence. The magnitude and duration of these phases unequivocally influence clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the “pharmacodynamics” of CAR-T cells is truly dynamic, as cells can rapidly become exhausted and lose their therapeutic efficacy. Mathematical models are among the translational tools commonly applied to assess, characterize, and predict the complex cellular kinetics and dynamics of CAR-T cells. Here, we provide a focused review of the cellular kinetics of CAR-T cells, the mechanisms underpinning their complexity, and the mathematical modeling approaches used to interrogate them.

description: We discuss three possible scenarios for the interpretation of mesons containing a heavy quark and its antiquark near and above the first threshold for a decay into a pair of heavy mesons in a relative $S$--wave. View I assumes that these thresholds force the quark potential to flatten which implies that while in these energy ranges molecular states may be formed there should not be any quark--anti-quark states above these thresholds. View II assumes that the main part of the interaction between two mesons is due to the poles which originate from the $Q\bar Q$ interaction. The properties of the $Q\bar Q$ mesons are strongly influenced by opening thresholds but the number of states is given by the quark model. In View III, both types of mesons are admitted also near and above the open flavor thresholds: $Q\bar Q$ mesons and dynamically generated mesons. Experimental consequences of these different views are discussed.

description: Computational Group Theory is applied to indexed objects (tensors, spinors, and so on) with dummy indices. There are two groups to consider: one describes the intrinsic symmetries of the object and the other describes the interchange of names of dummy indices. The problem of finding canonical forms for indexed objects with dummy indices reduces to finding double coset canonical representatives. Well known computational group algorithms are applied to index manipulation, which allow to address the simplification of expressions with hundreds of indices going further to what is needed in practical applications.

Then corresponding to the strong notion of BΓ-differentiability in Yamamuro ' s theory [82] we obtain the subclass of BΓ-manifolds . We show how to extend to these BΓ-manifolds the standard properties of Banach manifolds : The Smale Density Theorem [4] as well as the Transversality Theory [4]; [ 31] .

description: We study the effect of retardation of gravity in binary pulsars. It appears in pulsar timing formula as a periodic excess time delay to the Shapiro effect. The retardation of gravity effect can be large enough for observation in binary pulsars with the nearly edgewise orbits and relatively large ratio of the projected semimajor axis to the orbital period of the pulsar. If one succeeds in measuring the retardation of gravity it will give further experimental evidence in favor of General Relativity.

description: Background: Metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) and metformin-induced lactic acidosis (MILA) remain controversial entities. Metformin toxic effect depends on accumulation to lead to lactic acidosis (LA), particularly during an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI). In MILA, no other condition contributing to LA is found. The aims of this study were to describe the characteristics and prognosis of AKI associated with LA in metformin users and to clarify the role of this drug in the different types of LA. Methods: We performed a French multicenter retrospective study in diabetic patients treated by metformin presenting with LA in a context of AKI in 2015. 126 nephrology units (NU) and 23 intensive care units (ICU) were contacted. We individualized MILA and MALA patients in order to illustrate the role of metformin. Results: We included 173 patients (109 MILA, 64 MALA). 103 patients presented without hemodynamic instability (82 MILA and 21 MALA) whereas 70 patients were shocked including 27 MILA. The shock was associated with death with an odds ratio (OR) of 12.92 (p p = .0001). MALA was significantly associated with shock (p Conclusions: MILA is associated with DD and death is due to severe refractory acidosis leading to cardiovascular collapse attributed to metformin accumulation mainly via AKI. MALA patients are more frequently shocked and death is related to their underlying condition, metformin accumulation increasing LA.
Point Processes with Gaussian Boson Sampling

description: Random point patterns are ubiquitous in nature, and statistical models such as point processes, i.e., algorithms that generate stochastic collections of points, are commonly used to simulate and interpret them. We propose an application of quantum computing to statistical modeling by establishing a connection between point processes and Gaussian Boson Sampling, an algorithm for special-purpose photonic quantum computers. We show that Gaussian Boson Sampling can be used to implement a class of point processes based on hard-to-compute matrix functions which, in general, are intractable to simulate classically. We also discuss situations where polynomial-time classical methods exist. This leads to a family of efficient quantum-inspired point processes, including a new fast classical algorithm for permanental point processes. We investigate the statistical properties of point processes based on Gaussian Boson Sampling and reveal their defining property: like bosons that bunch together, they generate collections of points that form clusters. Finally, we discuss several additional properties of these point processes which we illustrate with example applications.
Topics in the theory and applications of Markov chains
Creators: name: Seneta, Eugene
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1968
Subjects: subject: Markov processes

description: The dissertation which follows is concerned with various aspects of behaviour within a set of states, J, of a discrete-time Markov chain, {Xn }, on a denumerable state space, S. A basic assumption with regard to J is that escape from any state of J into S-J may occur in a finite number of steps with positive probability. Since we are concerned only with behaviour within J, we may in general take J = {1,2,3,...} and represent S-J as a single absorbing state {0}. Thus without loss of generality S = {0,1,2,,..} with the states 1,2,3,... being transient. In addition, we frequently assume in the sequel that J is a single irreducible (i.e. intercommunicating) class, and sometimes that this class is aperiodic, these assumptions corresponding to the situations of greatest theoretical and practical importance. The subject matter which we treat falls naturally into two parts, according to which the thesis is divided. The aim of Part One is to develop results and techniques applicable to a wide class of problems, under general assumptions. This is done in the first three chapters, in which specific chains enter only as examples. On the other hand, specialized techniques are often applicable to specific chains of wide interest, such as certain models in genetics. This is particularly true of the Galton-Watson process, which is the subject of the following three chapters (Part Two) of the thesis. Three distinct but related aspects of transient behaviour within J are studied in the first part, each corresponding to a chapter.

description: We perform high-resolution simulations of a MW-like galaxy in a self-interacting cold dark matter model with elastic cross section over mass of $1~\rm cm^2/g$ (SIDM) and compare to a model without self-interactions (CDM). We run our simulations with and without a time-dependent embedded potential to capture effects of the baryonic disk and bulge contributions. The CDM and SIDM simulations with the embedded baryonic potential exhibit remarkably similar host halo profiles, subhalo abundances and radial distributions within the virial radius. The SIDM host halo is denser in the center than the CDM host and has no discernible core, in sharp contrast to the case without the baryonic potential (core size $\sim 7 \, \rm kpc$). The most massive subhalos (with $V_{\mathrm{peak}}> 20 \, \rm km/s$) in our SIDM simulations, expected to host the classical satellite galaxies, have density profiles that are less dense than their CDM analogs at radii less than 500 pc but the deviation diminishes for less massive subhalos. With the baryonic potential included in the CDM and SIDM simulations, the most massive subhalos do not display the too-big-to-fail problem. However, the least dense among the massive subhalos in both these simulations tend to have the smallest pericenter values, a trend that is not apparent among the bright MW satellite galaxies.

description: Background: In 2016, South Africa announced an intention to levy a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). In 2018, the country implemented an SSB tax of approximately 10%, known as the Health Promotion Levy (HPL). We aimed to assess changes in the purchases of beverages before and after the HPL announcement and implementation. Methods: We used Kantar Europanel data on monthly household purchases between January, 2014, and March, 2019, among a sample of South African households (n=113 653 household-month observations) from all nine provinces to obtain per-capita sugar, calories, and volume from taxable and non-taxable beverages purchased before and after the HPL announcement and implementation. We describe survey-weighted means for each period, and regression-controlled predictions of outcomes and counterfactuals based on pre-HPL announcement trends, with bootstrapped 95% CIs, and stratify results by socioeconomic status. Findings: Mean sugar from taxable beverage purchases fell from 16·25 g/capita per day (95% CI 15·80–16·70) to 14·26 (13·85–14·67) from the pre-HPL announcement to post-announcement period, and then to 10·63 g/capita per day (10·22–11·04) in the year after implementation. Mean volumes of taxable beverage purchases fell from 518·99 mL/capita per day (506·90–531·08) to 492·16 (481·28–503·04) from pre-announcement to post announcement, and then to 443·39 mL/capita per day (430·10–456·56) after implementation. Across these time periods, there was a small increase in the purchases of non-taxable beverages, from 283·45 mL/capita per day (273·34–293·56) pre-announcement to 312·94 (296·29–329·29) post implementation. When compared with pre-announcement counterfactual trends, reductions in taxable beverage purchase outcomes were significantly larger than the unadjusted survey-weighted observed reductions. Households with lower socioeconomic status purchased larger amounts of taxable beverages in the pre-announcement period than did households with higher socioeconomic status, but demonstrated bigger reductions after the tax was implemented. Interpretation: The announcement and introduction of South Africa's HPL were followed by reductions in the sugar, calories, and volume of beverage purchases.

description: Objective: To compare safety, effectiveness, and healthcare costs of major bleeding (MB), clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding, recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), and all-cause hospitalization among elderly Medicare VTE patients prescribed warfarin vs apixaban. Methods: Using 100% Medicare data, elderly patients prescribed apixaban or warfarin within 30 days after a VTE encounter were identified. Patients had continuous health plan enrollment and no parenteral or oral anticoagulant use ≤6 months preceding the VTE encounter. Cohorts were balanced using 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM). Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, recurrent VTE, and all-cause hospitalization. Generalized linear and two-part models were used to estimate MB-, recurrent VTE-, and all-cause related costs (per patient per month [PPPM]). Results: In the pre-matched cohort, 25,284 (66.9%) patients were prescribed warfarin and 12,515 (33.1%) apixaban. After 1:1 PSM, 11,363 matched pairs of apixaban-warfarin patients were included for a mean follow-up of 4.0 and 4.4 months, respectively. Matched cohorts had a mean age of 78 years and mean Charlson Comorbidity Index score of 2.9. Warfarin was associated with a higher risk of MB (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10–1.57) and CRNM bleeding (HR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.19–1.43) vs apixaban. The risks of recurrent VTE (HR = 0.96; 95% CI = 0.70–1.33) and all-cause hospitalization (HR = 1.05; 95% CI = 0.99–1.12) were similar among warfarin and apixaban patients. Warfarin patients had higher MB-related ($147 vs $75; p = .003) and all-cause costs PPPM ($3,267 vs $3,033; p p = .516) vs apixaban patients. Conclusions: Warfarin was associated with significantly higher risk of MB and CRNM bleeding as well as higher MB-related and all-cause costs vs apixaban patients. Recurrent VTE risk and costs were similar among warfarin and apixaban patients.
Spectropolarimetry of the superwind filaments of the starburst galaxy M82 II: kinematics of the dust surrounding the nuclear starburst

description: We performed deep spectropolarimetric observations of a prototypical starburst galaxy M82 with the Subaru Telescope in order to study the kinematics of the dust outflow. We obtained optical polarized emission-line spectra up to $\sim$4~kpc away from the nucleus of the galaxy along three position angles within the conical outflowing wind (superwind). The H$α$ emission line in the superwind is strongly polarized and the polarization pattern shows dust scattering of central light sources, being consistent with the previous works. The intensity weighted polarization degree of the H$α$ line reaches $\sim$30\%\ at maximum. There are at least two light sources at the central region of the galaxy; one of which is located at the near-infrared nucleus and the other resides at one of the peaks of the 3 mm radio and molecular gas emission. The outer (> 1 kpc) dust is illuminated by the former, whereas the inner dust is scattering the light from the latter. We investigated as well the dust motion from the velocity field of the polarized H$α$ emission line. The dust is accelerated outward on the northwest side of the nucleus. A simple bi-conical dust outflow model shows that the outflow velocity of the dust reaches $\gtrsim 300-450$ km/s at $\sim 4$ kpc from the nucleus, suggesting that some portion of the dust escapes from the gravitational potential of M82 into the intergalactic space. At some regions on the southeast side, in particular along the position angle of 138$^\circ$, the dust has radial velocity slower than the systemic velocity of the galaxy, apparently suggesting inflowing motion toward the nucleus. These components are spatially consistent with a part of the molecular gas stream, which is kinematically independent of the outflow gas, thus the apparent inflow motion of the dust reflects the streaming motion associated with the molecular gas stream.

Title:The Architecture of Human Memory: Identity, Intelligence, Entropy, and the SelfAuthor:Lucian Veda (Pseudonym of Vimal Kumar)Abstract:This paper explores the dynamic structure of human memory and consciousness through the lens of identity, entropy, environment, and intelligent data processing. Drawing on philosophical reasoning, metaphors, and scientific analogies, it argues that human personality and identity are not static traits but emergent algorithms formed by experiential data, context, and intelligent association. The study investigates memory as a constantly evolving internal reference system, shaped by environmental input and entropy, and discusses the subconscious mechanisms behind data retrieval in the brain akin to a search engine. It further examines the role of awareness without memory and whether the “self” can exist in such a condition.
Sums of independent random variables and regular variation

description: This thesis is concerned with further investigating, following the work of W. Feller, the application of the theory of regular variation, or generalisations of it, to various aspects of the classical theory of the convergence of normed sums of independent and identically distributed random variables. We are concerned, not only with the convergence of (or the convergence of subsequences of) the normed sums in distribution to non-degenerate random variables (this being the situation in the theory of domains of attraction, stochastic compactness and partial attraction treated in Chapters 2 and 3 of this thesis) but we hope to show also (in Chapters 4 and 5) that the theory of regular variation, and some generalisations of it, can prove useful in describing particular kinds of degenerate convergence and almost sure behaviour of such sums. Thus, we look at problems related to relative stability, the strong law of large numbers, and the law of the iterated logarithm. Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 contain our main results, but as well as these we give some related investigations : we consider compactness criteria for triangular arrays, and some local limit, large deviations and rate of convergence problems for sums of independent random variables, these last three applications being closely connected with properties related to the concept of regular variation. In an Appendix to Chapter 5 we give a strong law for stationary Markovian processes satisfying a uniform mixing condition; the proof of this follows easily from the methods we develop for independent random variables.

description: Background: In 2016, Chile implemented a unique law mandating front-of-package warning labels, restricting marketing, and banning school sales for products high in calories, sodium, sugar, or saturated fat. We aimed to examine changes in the calorie, sugar, sodium, and saturated fat content of food and beverage purchases after the first phase of implementation of this law. Methods: This before and after study used longitudinal data on food and beverage purchases from 2381 Chilean households from Jan 1, 2015, to Dec 31, 2017. Nutrition facts panel data from food and beverage packages were linked to household purchases at the product level using barcode, brand name, and product description. Nutritionists reviewed each product for nutritional accuracy and categorised it as high-in if it contained added sugar, sodium, or saturated fat and exceeded phase 1 nutrient or calorie thresholds, and thus was subject to the labelling, marketing, and school regulations. Using fixed-effects models, we examined the mean nutrient content (overall calories, sugar, saturated fat, and sodium) of purchases in the post-policy period compared to a counterfactual scenario based on pre-policy trends. Findings: Compared with the counterfactual scenario, overall calories purchased declined by 16·4 kcal/capita/day (95% CI –27·3 to –5·6; p=0·0031) or 3·5%. Overall sugar declined by 11·5 kcal/capita/day (–14·6 to –8·4; p<0·0001) or 10·2%, and saturated fat declined by 2·2 kcal/capita/day (–3·8 to –0·5; p=0·0097) or 3·9%. The sodium content of overall purchases declined by 27·7 mg/capita/day (–46·3 to –9·1; p=0·0035) or 4·7%. Declines from high-in purchases drove these results with some offset by increases in not-high-in purchases. Among high-in purchases, relative to the counterfactual scenario, there were notable declines of 23·8% in calories purchased (–49·4 kcal/capita/day, 95% CI –55·1 to –43·7; p<0·0001), 36·7% in sodium purchased (–96·6 mg/capita/day,–105·3 to –87·8; p<0·0001), and 26·7% in sugar purchased (–20·7 kcal/capita/day, –23·4 to –18·1; p<0·0001). Interpretation: The Chilean phase 1 law of food labelling and advertising policies were associated with reduced high-in purchases, leading to declines in purchased nutrients of concern. Greater changes might reasonably be anticipated after the implementation of phases 2 and 3.

description: Chalcogenide superlattices (SL), formed by the alternate stacking of GeTe and Sb$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ layers, also referred to as interfacial phase change memory (iPCM), are a leading candidate for spin based memory device applications. Theoretically, the iPCM structure it has been predicted to form a 3D topological insulator or Dirac semimetal depending on the constituent layer thicknesses. Here, we experimentally investigate the topological insulating nature of chalcogenide SLs using a helicity dependent time-resolved Kerr measurement. The helicity dependent Kerr signal is observed to exhibit a four cycle oscillation with $π$/2 periodicity suggesting the existence of a Dirac-like cone in some chalcogenide SLs. Furthermore, we found that increasing the thickness of the GeTe layer dramatically changes the periodicity, indicating a phase transition from a Dirac semimetal into a trivial insulator. Our results demonstrate that thickness-tuned chalcogenide SLs can play an important role in the manipulation of topological states, which may open up new possibilities for spintronic devices based on chalcogenide SLs.

description: We show that the Ocneanu algebra of quantum symmetries, for an ADE diagram (or for higher Coxeter-Dynkin systems, like the Di Francesco - Zuber system) is, in most cases, deduced from the structure of the modular T matrix in the A series. We recover in this way the (known) quantum symmetries of su(2) diagrams and illustrate our method by studying those associated with the three genuine exceptional diagrams of type su(3), namely E5, E9 and E21. This also provides the shortest way to the determination of twisted partition functions in boundary conformal field theory with defect lines.

description: The usefulness of spectral linewidth measurements as a diagnostic tool has been recognised since it was first suggested that line broadening could result from atomic collisions. Various theories have been developed and modified as further experimental evidence is published. Within this broad field, one important area has been the subject of recent calculations (Roueff, 1974), that is, the broadening of the sodium D lines by atomic hydrogen.

description: Background: The first phase of Chile's Law of Food Labelling and Advertising showed important declines in the sugar content of packaged foods, but it is unknown whether the law led to an increase in nonnutritive sweetener (NNS) intake, particularly among preschool children. Objectives: Estimate the changes in preschoolers' NNS intake after the first phase of the Chilean law. Methods: We used 24-h dietary recalls collected in 2016 (pre-law) and 2017 (post-law) from a cohort of preschoolers (n = 875). The primary caretaker was the respondent of the recalls. Information on NNS was obtained from nutrition facts panels collected annually and linked to dietary data. We used logistic regression to estimate the changes in the proportion of preschoolers who consume NNS and two-part models to estimate the changes in mean intake. We determined the percentage of children that surpassed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of each NNS using the National Cancer Institute method. Results: The proportion of consumers of at least one NNS increased from 77.9% to 92.0% (p-value < 0.01). The mean intake increased for sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame-K and steviol glycosides (+20.3, +15.1, +6.1 and +3.3 mg/day, respectively). In addition, NNS dietary sources changed for sucralose and steviol glycosides, becoming industrialized juices and dairy beverages more relevant while tabletop NNS became less relevant. None of the children surpassed the ADI. Conclusions: NNS intake increased in preschoolers after the first phase of a national policy that promoted sugar reformulation.
Structural analysis of the Lao ch'i-ta

Subjects: subject: Lao ch'i-ta Commentaries

description: This thesis contains fourteen chapters and two indexes. The fourteen chapters are divided into three parts: structura l analysis of the Lao Ch'i-ta , idiomatic expressions, and cultural content. When I began my research it was my intention to concentrate only on the structural analysis of the text. Soon, however, I realized that the interesting idiomatic expressions used. as well as the rich and historically valuable cultural content of the Lao Ch'i-ta, were as important as the structural analysis and hence I have included them in my work. I have not dealt with the pronunciation of the characters, as the structural and the phonetic analysis of a work can be treated separately; nor have I touched upon the Korean transcription of the Lao Ch'i-ta as it has no direct connection with my research.
Alternatively spliced variants of the 5’-UTR of the ARPC2 mRNA regulate translation by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) harboring a guanine-quadruplex motif

description: The 5ʹ-UTR of the actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2 (ARPC2) mRNA exists in two variants. Using a bicistronic reporter construct, the present study demonstrates that the longer variant of the 5ʹ-UTR harbors an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) which is lacking in the shorter one. Multiple control assays confirmed that only this variant promotes cap-independent translation. Furthermore, it includes a guanine-rich region that is capable of forming a guanine-quadruplex (G-quadruplex) structure which was found to contribute to the IRES activity. To investigate the cellular function of the IRES element, we determined the expression level of ARPC2 at various cell densities. At high cell density, the relative ARPC2 protein level increases, supporting the presumed function of IRES elements in driving the expression of certain genes under stressful conditions that compromise cap-dependent translation. Based on chemical probing experiments and computer-based predictions, we propose a structural model of the IRES element, which includes the G-quadruplex motif exposed from the central stem-loop element. Taken together, our study describes the functional relevance of two alternative 5ʹ-UTR splice variants of the ARPC2 mRNA, one of which contains an IRES element with a G-quadruplex as a central motif, promoting translation under stressful cellular conditions.
Perturbations of Spatially Closed Bianchi III Spacetimes

description: Motivated by the recent interest in dynamical properties of topologically nontrivial spacetimes, we study linear perturbations of spatially closed Bianchi III vacuum spacetimes, whose spatial topology is the direct product of a higher genus surface and the circle. We first develop necessary mode functions, vectors, and tensors, and then perform separations of (perturbation) variables. The perturbation equations decouple in a way that is similar to but a generalization of those of the Regge--Wheeler spherically symmetric case. We further achieve a decoupling of each set of perturbation equations into gauge-dependent and independent parts, by which we obtain wave equations for the gauge-invariant variables. We then discuss choices of gauge and stability properties. Details of the compactification of Bianchi III manifolds and spacetimes are presented in an appendix. In the other appendices we study scalar field and electromagnetic equations on the same background to compare asymptotic properties.
