description: Background: To determine whether botulinum toxin treatment history affected the outcomes of a study comparing the safety and efficacy of incobotulinumtoxinA with placebo in subjects with cervical dystonia (CD). Methods: This was a prospective, double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled, multicenter trial in botulinum toxin‐treated or toxin‐naïve CD subjects. Subjects received a fixed dose of either 120 U or 240 U of incobotulinumtoxinA or placebo. The primary outcome measure was change from baseline to Week 4 in the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) total score. Treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were also evaluated. This report represents a subgroup analysis of botulinum toxin‐treated or toxin‐naïve subjects. Results: Participants (N = 233; 38.6% toxin‐naïve) had a mean age of 52.8 years. IncobotulinumtoxinA significantly improved TWSTRS total scores from baseline to Week 4 in both dose groups versus placebo, and the improvement persisted through the end of the study (≤20 weeks). Both the previously toxin‐treated and toxin‐naïve subjects demonstrated significant improvements in TWSTRS total scores at Week 4 compared to baseline. The most frequent TEAEs in the incobotulinumtoxinA groups were dysphagia, neck pain, and muscular weakness, which were generally mild. TEAEs were more common in the 240 U group and toxin‐naïve subjects. Discussion: Overall, incobotulinumtoxinA was safe and effective in CD, regardless of toxin therapy history. A lower starting dose may be better tolerated among toxin‐naïve subjects without sacrificing efficacy.

description: Background
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) remains an experimental but promising treatment for patients with severe refractory Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (TS). Controversial issues include the selection of patients (age and clinical presentation), the choice of brain targets to obtain optimal patient‐specific outcomes, and the risk of surgery‐ and stimulation‐related serious adverse events.

Methods
This report describes our open‐label experience with eight patients with severe refractory malignant TS treated with DBS. The electrodes were placed in the midline thalamic nuclei or globus pallidus, pars internus, or both. Tics were clinically assessed in all patients pre‐ and postoperatively using the Modified Rush Video Protocol and the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS).

Results
Although three patients had marked postoperative improvement in their tics (>50% improvement on the YGTSS), the majority did not reach this level of clinical improvement. Two patients had to have their DBS leads removed (one because of postoperative infection and another because of lack of benefit).

Discussion
Our clinical experience supports the urgent need for more data and refinements in interventions and outcome measurements for severe, malignant, and medication‐refractory TS. Because TS is not an etiologically homogenous clinical entity, the inclusion criteria for DBS patients and the choice of brain targets will require more refinement.

description: Background: The prevalence of essential tremor (ET) is still not well understood and the various studies performed to date have generated highly variable results. Few epidemiologic studies on the prevalence of ET have been reported from Spain.
Methods: A one‐stage door‐to‐door survey was conducted on Arosa Island, northwestern Spain, to determine the prevalence of ET in the population aged 65 years and older. The diagnostic criteria for ET were the presence of non‐dystonic head tremor or moderate‐ to severe‐amplitude tremor on at least four tests of the revised Washington Heights‐Inwood Genetic Study of Essential Tremor (WHIGET) Scale.
Results: A total of 65 individuals with ET (28 males, 37 females) were identified, resulting in a crude prevalence of 8.63% (adjusted rate 8.42%). Prevalence increased with advancing age. There were no significant differences in prevalence between sexes in any of the age groups. Among the prevalent cases, 12.3% (n = 8) had been previously diagnosed. Only 29.2% (n = 19) reported functional disability caused by tremor. A family history of tremor was reported in 35.4% (n = 23).
Discussion: The prevalence of ET was higher than that seen in similar populations in Spain and other countries. A high proportion of those with ET were previously undiagnosed. Since Arosa Island has been a relatively isolated area, these results might indicate a predominant role, at least in the elderly, for genetic factors in the development of ET.

description: In this work we use momentum-space techniques to evaluate the propagator $G(x,x^{\prime})$ for a spin $1/2$ mass dimension one spinor field on a curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime. As a consequence, we built the one-loop correction to the effective lagrangian in the coincidence limit. Going further we compute the effective lagrangian in the finite temperature regime. We arrive at interesting cosmological consequences, as time-dependent cosmological `constant', fully explaining the functional form of previous cosmological models.

description: We describe and demonstrate a new technique for parallel collection of x-ray reflectivity data, compatible with monochromatic synchrotron radiation and flat substrates, and apply it to the in-situ observation of thin-film growth. The method employs a polycapillary x-ray optic to produce a converging fan of radiation incident onto a sample surface, and an area detector to simultaneously collect the XRR signal over an angular range matching that of the incident fan. Factors determining the range and instrumental resolution of the technique in reciprocal space, in addition to the signal-to-background ratio, are described in detail. Our particular implementation records $\sim$5\degree{} in $2θ$ and resolves Kiessig fringes from samples with layer thicknesses ranging from 3 to 76 nm. Finally, we illustrate the value of this approach by showing in-situ XRR data obtained with 100 ms time resolution during the growth of epitaxial \ce{La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO3} on \ce{SrTiO3} by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). Compared to prior methods for parallel XRR data collection, ours is the first method that is both sample-independent and compatible with highly collimated, monochromatic radiation typical of 3rd generation synchrotron sources. Further, our technique can be readily adapted for use with laboratory-based sources.

description: We apply a method that combines the tight-binding approximation and the Lowdin down-folding procedure to evaluate the electronic band structure of the newly discovered pressure-induced superconductor CrAs. By integrating out all low-lying arsenic degrees of freedom, we derive an effective Hamiltonian model describing the Cr d bands near the Fermi level. We calculate and make predictions for the energy spectra, the Fermi surface, the density of states and transport and magnetic properties of this compound. Our results are consistent with local-density approximation calculations as well as they show good agreement with available experimental data for resistivity and Cr magnetic moment.

description: We present a unified explanation for the observed properties of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 by obtaining, for the first time, a self-consistent model that accounts simultaneously for the observed X-ray spectrum and optical excess, the pulsed fraction, the observed spectral feature around 0.3 keV, and the long--term spectral evolution. By fitting the parameters of our realistic self--consistent models to all archival XMM--Newton observations and available optical data, we show that all observed properties are consistent with a normal neutron star with a proper radius of about 12 km, a temperature at the magnetic pole of about 100 eV and a magnetic field strength of 2-3 x 10^{13} G, with no need to invoke additional emission and absorption components nor exotic internal composition. The observed variability of the effective temperature, strength of the spectral feature, and pulsed fraction are in good agreement with the predictions of our model in which the star is subject to free precession, producing changes in the angle between the magnetic field and the rotation axis of tens of degrees with a periodicity of 7 years, as pointed out by other authors on the basis of phenomenological models. In addition to the evidence of internal toroidal components, we also find strong evidence of non-dipolar magnetic fields, since all spectral properties are better reproduced with models with strong quadrupolar components.

These final states provide sensitivity to the heavy-flavour content of the proton and aspects related to the modelling of heavy-flavour quarks in perturbative QCD. The measurement uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2012 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. The differential cross sections are measured for each jet flavour with respect to the transverse energy of the leading photon in two photon pseudorapidity regions: $|η^γ|<1.37$ and $1.56

description: Infections with the coccidian parasite Neospora caninum affect domestic and wild animals worldwide. In Australia, N. caninum infections cause considerable losses to the cattle industry with seroprevalence of 8.7% in beef and 10.9% in dairy cattle. Conversely, the role of wild animals, in maintaining the parasite cycle is also unclear. It is possible that native or introduced herbivorous species could be reservoir hosts of N. caninum in Australia, but to date, this has not been investigated. We report here the first large-scale screening of N. caninum antibodies in Australian wild deer, spanning three species (fallow, red and sambar deer). Consequently, we also assessed two commercial cELISA tests validated for detecting N. caninum in cattle for their ability to detect N. caninum antibodies in serum samples of wild deer. N. caninum antibodies were detected in 3.7% (7/189, 95% CI 1.8 – 7.45) of the wild deer serum samples collected in south-eastern Australia (n = 189), including 97 fallow deer (Dama dama), 14 red deer (Cervus elaphus), and 78 sambar deer (Rusa unicolor). Overall, our study provides the first detection of N. caninum antibodies in wild deer and quantifies deer's potential role in the sylvatic cycle of N. caninum.

Of particular interest are a study of the temperature of the crossover a determination of the induced baryon charge and baryon susceptibility, the scalar susceptibility, and the chiral order parameter, used to test models of critical behavior associated with chiral symmetry restoration. From our new data and published results for N_t = 4, 6, and 8, we determine the QCD magnetic equation of state from the chiral order parameter using O(4) and mean field critical exponents and compare it with the corresponding equation of state obtained from an O(4) spin model and mean field theory. We also present a scaling analysis of the Polyakov loop, suggesting a temperature dependent ``constituent quark free energy.''

description: Nanostructured rare-earth-ion doped materials are increasingly being investigated for on-chip implementations of quantum information processing protocols as well as commercial applications such as fluorescent lighting. However, achieving high-quality and optimized materials at the nanoscale is still challenging. Here we present a detailed study of the restriction of phonon processes in the transition from bulk crystals to small ($\le$ 40 nm) nanocrystals by observing the relaxation dynamics between crystal-field levels of Tb$^{3+}$:Y$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$. We find that population relaxation dynamics are modified as the particle size is reduced, consistent with our simulations of inhibited relaxation through a modified vibrational density of states and hence modified phonon emission. However, our experiments also indicate that non-radiative processes not driven by phonons are also present in the smaller particles, causing transitions and rapid thermalization between the levels on a timescale of $

Fast Computation Algorithm for Discrete Resonances among Gravity Waves

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: Traditionally resonant interactions among short waves, with large real wave-numbers, were described statistically and only a small domain in spectral space with integer wave-numbers, discrete resonances, had to be studied separately in resonators. Numerical simulations of the last few years showed unambiguously the existence of some discrete effects in the short-waves part of the wave spectrum. Newly presented model of laminated turbulence explains theoretically appearance of these effects thus putting a novel problem - construction of fast algorithms for computation of solutions of resonance conditions with integer wave-numbers of order $10^3$ and more. Example of such an algorithm for 4-waves interactions of gravity waves is given. Its generalization on the different types of waves is briefly discussed.

description: A new method is described for determining the quantum state of correlated multimode radiation by interfering the modes and measuring the statistics of the superimposed fields in four-port balanced homodyne detection. The full information on the $N$-mode quantum state is obtained by controlling both the relative amplitudes and the phases of the modes, which simplifies the reconstruction of density matrices to only $N+1$ Fourier transforms. In particular, this method yields time-correlated multimode density matrices of optical pulses by superimposing the signal by a sequence of short local-oscillator pulses.

description: This paper proposes an end-to-end learning framework for multiview stereopsis. We term the network SurfaceNet. It takes a set of images and their corresponding camera parameters as input and directly infers the 3D model. The key advantage of the framework is that both photo-consistency as well geometric relations of the surface structure can be directly learned for the purpose of multiview stereopsis in an end-to-end fashion. SurfaceNet is a fully 3D convolutional network which is achieved by encoding the camera parameters together with the images in a 3D voxel representation. We evaluate SurfaceNet on the large-scale DTU benchmark.

description: Background
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus is a safe and efficient method for treatment of disabling tremor in patient with essential tremor (ET). However, successful tremor suppression after surgery requires careful selection of stimulus parameters. Our aim was to examine the possible use of certain quantitative methods for evaluating the efficacy of thalamic DBS in ET patients in clinical practice, and to compare these methods with traditional clinical tests.

Methods
We examined 22 patients using the Essential Tremor Rating Scale (ETRS) and quantitative assessment of tremor with the stimulator both activated and deactivated. We used an accelerometer (CATSYS tremor Pen) for quantitative measurement of postural tremor, and a eurythmokinesimeter (EKM) to evaluate kinetic tremor in a rapid pointing task.

Results
The efficacy of DBS on tremor suppression was prominent irrespective of the method used. The agreement between clinical rating of postural tremor and tremor intensity as measured by the CATSYS tremor pen was relatively high (rs = 0.74). The agreement between kinetic tremor as assessed by the ETRS and the main outcome variable from the EKM test was low (rs = 0.34). The lack of agreement indicates that the EKM test is not comparable with the clinical test.

Discussion
Quantitative methods, such as the CATSYS tremor pen, could be a useful complement to clinical tremor assessment in evaluating the efficacy of DBS in clinical practice. Future studies should evaluate the precision of these methods and long‐term impact on tremor suppression, activities of daily living (ADL) function and quality of life.

description: A new ultrasensitive copper ion fluorescent probe based on cadmium selenide/cadmium sulfide quantum dots capped with dimercaprol is described. Dimercaprol was bonded to the quantum dots through a surface ligand exchange to form dimercaprol-capped quantum dots whose fluorescence could be quenched by the coordination of dimercaprol on quantum dots’ surface with copper ion. The fluorescent probe based on dimercaprol-capped quantum dots showed a very good linear response range to copper ion from 0.1 to 50 µg L−1 with the detection limit of 0.087 µg L−1. The proposed method exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity due to the specific and strong affinity of dimercaprol with copper ion and the unique photoluminescence properties of quantum dots. The possible quenching mechanism was discussed and the probe was successfully applied to the determination of ultratrace copper in real samples.

description: Background
A body of literature is emerging regarding gait/balance impairments observed in essential tremor (ET) patients. Although impairment is generally mild, the full extent of the spectrum remains undefined. We present four ET cases with more severe gait/balance impairment.

Methods
A battery of subjective and objective gait/balance assessments was performed: the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, the Berg Balance Scale, and the Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA). Tandem missteps during 10 steps were counted. Quantitative gait testing was performed (GAITRite) to quantify gait speed, dynamic balance, gait symmetry, and gait variability.

Results
Two patients were middle‐aged (38 and 52 years) and two were older (70 and 79 years). All had longstanding classic ET (duration 22-60 years). The mean POMA score was 21.5, which is indicative of moderate fall risk. On average, there were five missteps during tandem gait, which was higher than observed in substantially older ET cases (age 86.0 plus or minus 4.6 years), and four times higher than seen in ET patients of comparable age. On quantitative gait analysis, patients demonstrated significant balance impairment.

Discussion
We present a sample of ET patients with a level of gait difficulty that would not be characterized as mild. The existence of such cases raises a number of questions, one of which is how impaired can gait be in ET?

description: We report a novel spin injection and detection mechanism via the anomalous Hall effect in a ferromagnetic metal. The anomalous spin Hall effect (ASHE) refers to the transverse spin current generated within the ferromagnet. We utilize the ASHE and its reciprocal effect to electrically inject and detect magnons in a magnetic insulator in a non-local geometry. Our experiments reveal that permalloy can have a higher spin injection and detection efficiency to that of platinum, owing to the ASHE. We also demonstrate the tunability of the ASHE via the orientation of the permalloy magnetization, thus creating new possibilities for spintronic applications.

description: We performed a systemic investigation of the substitution and cooperative effects on the O–H···O and N–H···O H-bonds in the complexes of 2-pyridone and its derivatives with oxalic acid. Generally, the electron-withdrawing substituent in 2-pyridone weakens the O–H···O H-bond but strengthens the N–H···O H-bond, while the opposite effect is for the electron-donating group. In addition, the substitution effect is associated with its substitution position in 2-pyridone. The total interaction energy of a chainlike trimer with oxalic acid as a middle molecule exhibits some additivity. When oxalic acid combines with two 2-pyridone/2-pyridinethione molecules, the O–H···O/S H-bond is weakened but the N–H···O H-bond is enhanced. When three oxalic acid molecules are linked by the double O–H···O H-bonds, one H-bond with the middle oxalic acid as the proton donor is weakened and the other H-bond with the middle oxalic acid as the proton acceptor is strengthened.

description: Background: Although voice tremor is one of the most commonly noted clinical features of essential tremor (ET), there are nearly no published data on the handicap associated with it. Methods: The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) was self-administered by participants enrolled in a research study at Columbia University Medical Center. The VHI quantifies patients’ perceptions of handicap due to voice difficulties. Data from 98 ET cases were compared with data from 100 controls and 85 patients with another movement disorder (Parkinson’s disease, PD). Results: Voice tremor was present on examination in 25 (25.5%) ET cases; 12 had mild voice tremor (ETMild VT) and 13 had marked voice tremor (ETMarked VT). VHI scores were higher in ET cases than controls (p = 0.02). VHI scores among ETMarked VT were similar to those of PD cases; both were significantly higher than controls (p<0.001). The three VHI subscale scores (physical, functional, emotional) were highest in ETMarked VT, with values that were similar to those observed in PD. Discussion: The voice handicap associated with ET had multiple (i.e., physical, functional, and emotional) dimensions. Moreover, ET cases with marked voice tremor on examination had a level of self-reported voice handicap that was similar to that observed in patients with PD.
Towards the Stabilisation of Subvalent Heavy Alkaline Earth Metal Complexes

description: In 2007, the fundamental understanding of the chemistry of the Alkaline Earth elements (AE = Mg-Ba) was challenged with the inaugural isolation of a low-oxidation state magnesium(I) complex. The number of isolable magnesium(I) complexes has since flourished, and the chemistry of such molecular compounds has been developed to include industrially relevant transformations. Despite significant efforts, the low-oxidation state chemistry of the heavy AE elements (Ca-Ba) is far less developed, though has shown hugely promising indications of the synthetic power of these molecular species. The work here discussed focuses on further developing the low-oxidation state chemistry of the AE elements, with a particular focus on the heavier congeners (Ca-Ba). To achieve this, a molecular design comprising a highly equatorial AE(II) precursor is proposed. In this work, both monoanionic and neutral AE(II) complexes that satisfy this molecular design are reported.Chapter 2 describes the synthesis, characterisation, and reduction chemistry of a series of monoanionic AE(II) tris(amide) ‘ate’ complexes. This work is supported by a computational study that verifies the proposed molecular design.Chapter 3 expands the molecular design to include neutral AE(II) complexes featuring bulky cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligands. The synthesis, characterisation and preliminary reduction chemistry of these complexes is reported. The organometallic complexes reported herein include isolated examples structurally authenticated Sr–CAAC and Ba–CAAC complexes. A further computational study is provided.Chapter 4 describes the use of mechanochemistry – an emerging, solid-state technique – for the reductions of the monoanionic AE(II) complexes previously discussed in Chapter 2. Mechanochemistry has been proven to allow access to highly reactive molecular species that are otherwise inaccessible when using conventional solution-based techniques. Attempts to prepare a low-oxidation state Ca(I) complex led to the synthesis of a heterobimetallic Ca/K electride. The synthesis, characterisation and reactivity of this material is reported.

description: DYT‐5 dystonia usually presents as a dopa‐responsive dystonia (DRD) with early or late parkinsonian manifestations and/or dystonic features. Genetically, these patients have been described as having a wide array of independent mutations in the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 gene (GCH1), and these patients may also have a wide array of clinical manifestations. Methods A Colombian family with six affected female members was characterized. Results Three members, including the index case, revealed mild parkinsonism, whereas three granddaughters of the index case showed severe generalized dystonia. No men were affected. There was anticipation, and a female predominance was uncovered. Treatment with levodopa was generally effective except in a case with severe skeletal deformities and contractions. Detailed genetic analysis in the index case revealed a new mutation in exon 1 of GCH1 (c.159delG). Discussion This study revealed a new mutation of GCH1 that resulted in heterogeneous clinical presentations of DRD within a large family.

description: Purpose/Aim: Despite their importance in accurate mechanical modeling of the cornea, the depth-dependent material properties of the cornea have only been partially elucidated. In this work, we characterized the depth-dependent out-of-plane Young’s modulus of the central and peripheral human cornea with high spatial resolution. Materials and Methods: Central and peripheral corneal buttons from human donors were subjected to unconfined axial compression followed by stress relaxation for 30 min. Sequences of fluorescent micrographs of full-thickness corneal buttons were acquired throughout the experiment to enable tracking of fluorescently labeled stromal keratocyte nuclei and measurements of depth-dependent infinitesimal strains. The nominal (gross) out-of-plane Young’s modulus and drained Poisson’s ratio for each whole specimen was computed from the equilibrium stress and overall tissue deformation. The depth-dependent (local) out-of-plane Young’s modulus was computed from the equilibrium stress and local tissue strain based on an anisotropic model (transverse isotropy). Results: The out-of-plane Young’s modulus of the cornea exhibited a strong dependence on in-plane location (peripheral versus central cornea), but not depth. The depth-dependent out-of-plane Young’s modulus of central and peripheral specimens ranged between 72.4–102.4 kPa and 38.3–58.9 kPa. The nominal out-of-plane Young’s modulus was 87 ± 41.51 kPa and 39.9 ± 15.28 kPa in the central and peripheral cornea, while the drained Poisson’s ratio was 0.05 ± 0.02 and 0.07 ± 0.04. Conclusions: The out-of-plane Young’s modulus of the cornea is mostly independent of depth, but not in-plane location (i.e. central vs. peripheral). These results may help inform more accurate finite element computer models of the cornea.
"Physics of Data", an innovative master programme in Physics

description: Most of the challenges set by modern physics endeavours are related to the management, processing and analysis of massive amount of data. As stated in a recent Nature editorial (*The thing about data*, Nature Physics volume 13, page 717, 2017), "the rise of big data represents an opportunity for physicists. To take full advantage, however, they need a subtle but important shift in mindset". All this calls for a substantial change in the way future physicists are taught: statistics and probability, information theory, machine learning as well as scientific computing and hardware setups should be the pillars of the education of a new physics students generation. This is what an innovative master programme launched in fall 2018 by the University of Padua, "**Physics of Data**", aims at. This contribution summarises its actual implementation, describing the educational methods (all focused on "hands-on" activities and research projects) and reporting on the brilliant results obtained by the first enrolled students.

description: In the first two papers of this series, we characterized the structure of maximally random jammed (MRJ) sphere packings across length scales by computing a variety of different correlation functions, spectral functions, hole probabilities, and local density fluctuations. From the remarkable structural features of the MRJ packings, especially its disordered hyperuniformity, exceptional physical properties can be expected. Here, we employ these structural descriptors to estimate effective transport and electromagnetic properties via rigorous bounds, exact expansions, and accurate analytical approximation formulas. These property formulas include interfacial bounds as well as universal scaling laws for the mean survival time and the fluid permeability. We also estimate the principal relaxation time associated with Brownian motion among perfectly absorbing traps. For the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the long-wavelength limit, we show that a dispersion of dielectric MRJ spheres within a matrix of another dielectric material forms, to a very good approximation, a dissipationless disordered and isotropic two-phase medium for any phase dielectric contrast ratio. We compare the effective properties of the MRJ sphere packings to those of overlapping spheres, equilibrium hard-sphere packings, and lattices of hard spheres. Moreover, we generalize results to micro- and macroscopically anisotropic packings of spheroids with tensorial effective properties. The analytic bounds predict the qualitative trend in the physical properties associated with these structures, which provides guidance to more time-consuming simulations and experiments. They especially provide impetus for experiments to design materials with unique bulk properties resulting from hyperuniformity, including structural-color and color-sensing applications.

description: Quantum correlations between two particles show non-classical properties which can be used for providing secure transmission of information. We present a quantum cryptographic system, in which users store particles in quantum memories kept in a transmission center. Correlations between the particles stored by two users are created upon request by projecting their product state onto a fully entangled state. Our system allows for secure communication between any pair of users who have particles in the same center. Unlike other quantum cryptographic systems, it can work without quantum channels and is suitable for building a quantum cryptographic network. We also present a modified system with many centers.
