description: We examine the results of the paper "Precision metrology using weak measurements", [Zhang, Datta, and Walmsley, arXiv:1310.5302] from a quantum state discrimination point of view. The Heisenberg scaling of the photon number for the precision of the interaction parameter between coherent light and a spin one-half particle (or pseudo-spin) has a simple interpretation in terms of the interaction rotating the quantum state to an orthogonal one. In order to achieve this scaling, the information must be extracted from the spin rather than from the coherent state of light, limiting the applications of the method to phenomena such as cross-phase modulation. We next investigate the effect of dephasing noise, and show a rapid degradation of precision, in agreement with general results in the literature concerning Heisenberg scaling metrology. We also demonstrate that a von Neumann-type measurement interaction can display a similar effect.

description: The use of real-time genomic epidemiology has enabled the tracking of the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), informing evidence-based public health decision making. Ukraine has experienced four waves of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) between spring 2020 and spring 2022. However, insufficient capacity for local genetic sequencing limited the potential application of SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance for public health response in the country. Herein, we report local sequencing of 103 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from patient samples collected in Kyiv in July-December 2021 using Oxford Nanopore technology. Together with other published Ukrainian SARS-CoV-2 genomes, our data suggest that the third wave of the epidemic in Ukraine (June-December 2021) was dominated by the Delta Variant of Concern (VOC). Our phylogeographic analysis revealed that in summer 2021 Delta VOC was introduced into Ukraine from multiple locations worldwide, with most introductions coming from Central and Eastern European countries. The wide geographic range of Delta introductions coincides with increased volume of travel to Ukraine particularly from locations outside of Europe in summer 2021. This study highlights the need to urgently integrate affordable and easily scaled pathogen sequencing technologies in locations with less developed genomic infrastructure, in order to support local public health decision making.

description: We propose a repeat-until-success protocol to improve the performance of probabilistic quantum repeaters. Quantum repeaters rely on passive static linear optics elements and photodetectors to perform Bell-state measurements (BSMs). Conventionally, the success rate of these BSMs cannot exceed 50%, which is an impediment for entanglement swapping between distant quantum memories. Every time that a BSM fails, entanglement needs to be re-distributed between the corresponding memories in the repeater link. The key ingredient in our scheme is a repeatable BSM. Although it too relies only on linear optics and photo-detection, it ideally allows us to repeat every BSM until it succeeds. This, in principle, can turn a probabilistic quantum repeater into a deterministic one. Under realistic conditions, where our measurement devices are lossy, our repeatable BSMs may also fail. However, we show that by using additional threshold detectors, we can improve the entanglement generation rate between one and two orders of magnitude as compared to the probabilistic repeater systems that rely on conventional BSMs. This improvement is sufficient to make the performance of probabilistic quantum repeaters comparable with some of existing proposals for deterministic quantum repeaters.

description: We present observations of N2H+(1-0), HCO+(1-0), and HCN(1-0) toward the Serpens Main molecular cloud from the CARMA Large Area Star Formation Survey (CLASSy). We mapped 150 square arcminutes of Serpens Main with an angular resolution of 7 arcsecs. The gas emission is concentrated in two subclusters (the NW and SE subclusters). The SE subcluster has more prominent filamentary structures and more complicated kinematics compared to the NW subcluster. The majority of gas in the two subclusters has subsonic to sonic velocity dispersions. We applied a dendrogram technique with N2H+(1-0) to study the gas structures; the SE subcluster has a higher degree of hierarchy than the NW subcluster. Combining the dendrogram and line fitting analyses reveals two distinct relations: a flat relation between nonthermal velocity dispersion and size, and a positive correlation between variation in velocity centroids and size. The two relations imply a characteristic depth of 0.15 pc for the cloud. Furthermore, we have identified six filaments in the SE subcluster. These filaments have lengths of 0.2 pc and widths of 0.03 pc, which is smaller than a characteristic width of 0.1 pc suggested by Herschel observations. The filaments can be classified into two types based on their properties. The first type, located in the northeast of the SE subcluster, has larger velocity gradients, smaller masses, and nearly critical mass-per-unit-length ratios. The other type, located in the southwest of the SE subcluster, has the opposite properties. Several YSOs are formed along two filaments which have supercritical mass per unit length ratios, while filaments with nearly critical mass-per-unit-length ratios are not associated with YSOs, suggesting that stars are formed on gravitationally unstable filaments.

description: Periodontal disease has been shown to be associated with incident stroke. We investigated whether periodontal disease is independently associated with recurrent vascular events and certain inflammatory markers in stroke/TIA patients. In this prospective longitudinal hospital-based cohort study, periodontal disease was assessed in stroke/TIA patients. High periodontal disease was defined as the highest tertile of extent (% of sites) with attachment loss ≥ 5 mm. Serum interleukin-6, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 were measured. The patients were followed for recurrent vascular events-stroke, TIA, myocardial infarction and vascular death. In the 106 patients that were evaluated, 40 (38%) showed high periodontal disease and 27 (26%) had recurrent vascular events over a median of 24 months (range 12–24 months). High periodontal disease patients had higher levels of interleukin-6 (p=0.01) and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (p=0.03). High periodontal disease was associated with recurrent vascular events before (Log rank p=0.01, hazard ratio 2.6, 95% CI, 1.2–5.7) and after adjustment for significant confounders -age and stroke status (Hazard Ratio 2.5, 95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 5.5, p=0.03); adjustment for possible confounders age, males, years of education and cardioembolic strokes (hazard ratio 2.8, 95% confidence interval, 1.2–6.5, p=0.02); and adjustment for propensity score that accounted for all potential measured confounders (hazard ratio 2.8, 95% confidence interval,1.2–6.5, p=0.02). There is an independent association between high periodontal disease and recurrent vascular events in stroke/TIA patients. High periodontal disease is also associated with higher serum levels of interleukin-6 and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1.

description: Existing systems dealing with the increasing volume of data series cannot guarantee interactive response times, even for fundamental tasks such as similarity search. Therefore, it is necessary to develop analytic approaches that support exploration and decision making by providing progressive results, before the final and exact ones have been computed. Prior works lack both efficiency and accuracy when applied to large-scale data series collections. We present and experimentally evaluate ProS, a new probabilistic learning-based method that provides quality guarantees for progressive Nearest Neighbor (NN) query answering. We develop our method for k-NN queries and demonstrate how it can be applied with the two most popular distance measures, namely, Euclidean and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). We provide both initial and progressive estimates of the final answer that are getting better during the similarity search, as well suitable stopping criteria for the progressive queries. Moreover, we describe how this method can be used in order to develop a progressive algorithm for data series classification (based on a k-NN classifier), and we additionally propose a method designed specifically for the classification task. Experiments with several and diverse synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that our prediction methods constitute the first practical solutions to the problem, significantly outperforming competing approaches.

description: We have carried out the first very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) imaging of 44 GHz class I methanol maser (7_{0}-6_{1}A^{+}) associated with a millimeter core MM2 in a massive star-forming region IRAS 18151-1208 with KaVA (KVN and VERA Array), which is a newly combined array of KVN (Korean VLBI Network) and VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry). We have succeeded in imaging compact maser features with a synthesized beam size of 2.7 milliarcseconds x 1.5 milliarcseconds (mas). These features are detected at a limited number of baselines within the length of shorter than approximately 650 km corresponding to 100 Mlambda in the uv-coverage. The central velocity and the velocity width of the 44 GHz methanol maser are consistent with those of the quiescent gas rather than the outflow traced by the SiO thermal line. The minimum component size among the maser features is ~ 5 mas x 2 mas, which corresponds to the linear size of ~ 15 AU x 6 AU assuming a distance of 3 kpc. The brightness temperatures of these features range from ~ 3.5 x 10^{8} to 1.0 x 10^{10} K, which are higher than estimated lower limit from a previous Very Large Array observation with the highest spatial resolution of ~ 50 mas. The 44 GHz class I methanol maser in IRAS 18151-1208 is found to be associated with the MM2 core, which is thought to be less evolved than another millimeter core MM1 associated with the 6.7 GHz class II methanol maser.

description: We study classically scale invariant models in which the Standard Model Higgs mass term is replaced in the Lagrangian by a Higgs portal coupling to a complex scalar field of a dark sector. We focus on models that are weakly coupled with the quartic scalar couplings nearly vanishing at the Planck scale. The dark sector contains fermions and scalars charged under dark SU(2) x U(1) gauge interactions. Radiative breaking of the dark gauge group triggers electroweak symmetry breaking through the Higgs portal coupling. Requiring both a Higgs boson mass of 125.5 GeV and stability of the Higgs potential up to the Planck scale implies that the radiative breaking of the dark gauge group occurs at the TeV scale. We present a particular model which features a long-range abelian dark force. The dominant dark matter component is neutral dark fermions, with the correct thermal relic abundance, and in reach of future direct detection experiments. The model also has lighter stable dark fermions charged under the dark force, with observable effects on galactic-scale structure. Collider signatures include a dark sector scalar boson with mass < 250 GeV that decays through mixing with the Higgs boson, and can be detected at the LHC. The Higgs boson, as well as the new scalar, may have significant invisible decays into dark sector particles.

Large low-energy $M1$ strength for $^{56,57}$Fe within the nuclear shell model

description: A strong enhancement at low $γ$-ray energies has recently been discovered in the $γ$-ray strength function of $^{56,57}$Fe. In this work, we have for the first time obtained theoretical $γ$ decay spectra for states up to $\approx 8$ MeV in excitation for $^{56,57}$Fe. We find large $B(M1)$ values for low $γ$-ray energies that provide an explanation for the experimental observations. The role of mixed $E2$ transitions for the low-energy enhancement is addressed theoretically for the first time, and it is found that they contribute a rather small fraction. Our calculations clearly show that the high-$\ell$ ($=f$) diagonal terms are most important for the strong low-energy $M1$ transitions. As such types of $0\hbarω$ transitions are expected for all nuclei, our results indicate that a low-energy $M1$ enhancement should be present throughout the nuclear chart. This could have far-reaching consequences for our understanding of the $M1$ strength function at high excitation energies, with profound implications for astrophysical reaction rates.

The Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus ORF6 DNA binding protein forms long DNA-free helical protein filaments

description: The Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus ORF6 has a 41% sequence identity with Balf2 protein of Epstein-Barr virus and 23% with ICP8 protein of Herpes Simplex type I. Balf2 and ICP8 are multi-functional DNA binding proteins with roles central to viral DNA replication and recombination. In this study we cloned the KSHV ORF6 gene, expressed the full length ORF6 protein in insect cells and purified it to homogeneity. Gel filtration revealed the protein to be present in a broad spectrum of sizes ranging from monomers to high molecular weight oligomers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using negative staining under conditions favoring monomers and small oligomers revealed fields of globular particles measuring 11 nm in diameter consistent with the size of a protein monomer. Incubation of ORF6 protein at room temperature for extended periods of time resulted in the bulk of the protein forming very long helical filaments. Measurements from negative staining revealed that the filaments were up to 2600 nm in length, with a width of 13.7 nm and a long gentle helical periodicity of 42.9 nm along the filament axis. Using rapid freezing and freeze-drying, it was possible to show that the filaments consist of two protein chains wrapped around each other. The possibility that these protein filaments generate a scaffold upon which viral DNA replication, recombination, and encapsidation occur in the infected cell nucleus is discussed.

description: Precise fiber positioning is crucial to a wide field, multi-fiber spectroscopic survey like LAMOST. Nowadays, most position error measurements are based on CCD photographic and imaging processing techniques. Those methods only work for measuring errors orthogonal to the telescope optical axis, while there also lies errors parallel to the telescope optical axis, like defocusing, and error caused by the existing deviation angle between optical axes of a fiber and the telescope. Directly measuring two latter types of position errors is difficult for individual fiber, especially during observation. Possible sources of fiber position errors are discussed in brief for LAMOST. By constructing a model of magnitude loss due to the fiber position error for a point source, we propose an indirect method to calculate the total and systematic position errors for each individual fiber from spectra data. Restrictions and applications of this method are also discussed.

description: By connecting two antennas, Kashima 34~m and Nobeyama 45~m, an east-west baseline of 200~km is formed. At that time, because Nobeyama 45~m had the world's number one sensitivity in the 43~GHz band, and also Kashima 34~m was the world's third-largest one, the Kashima-Nobeyama baseline provided the highest sensitivity at 43~GHz VLBI (Figure 1). The construction of the Kashima 34~m antenna began in 1988, also almost at the same time, a domestic project of mm-VLBI (KNIFE, Kashima Nobeyama INterFrermeter) started. Nobeyama Radio Observatory provided the first cooled-HEMT 43~GHz receiver in the world to the Kashima 34~m. In October 1989, the first fringe at 43~GHz was detected. We here review the achievements of the KNIFE at that time.

description: We establish the convergence of pseudospectra in Hausdorff distance for closed operators acting in different Hilbert spaces and converging in the generalised norm resolvent sense. As an assumption, we exclude the case that the limiting operator has constant resolvent norm on an open set. We extend the class of operators for which it is known that the latter cannot happen by showing that if the resolvent norm is constant on an open set, then this constant is the global minimum. We present a number of examples exhibiting various resolvent norm behaviours and illustrating the applicability of this characterisation compared to known results.

description: We hypothesized that individuals who are unable to effectively regulate emotional reactivity, which we operationalized as variability in self-reported affect throughout the day, would use alcohol more frequently and would report higher levels of drinking to cope. Further, we hypothesized that affect variation would be a stronger predictor of alcohol use or drinking to cope than level of negative affect.

Temperature Dependence of the Spin Susceptibility in Noncentrosymmetric Superconductors with Line Nodes
Creators: name: Shimahara, Hiroshi

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The spin susceptibility of noncentrosymmetric superconductors is studied when the gap function has line nodes. As examples, d-wave states, where the gap function has an additional odd-parity phase factor, are examined. The curve of the spin susceptibility $χ(T)$ is upward convex when all line nodes are parallel to the magnetic field, while it is downward convex in the other d-wave states and an s-wave state. For polycrystalline powder samples, the temperature dependences of $χ(T)$ are predicted by assuming three explicit conditions of the powder particles. The results are compared with the experimental data of the Knight shift observed in Li_2Pt_3B and Li_2Pd_3B.

description: Entropic property of the Ellipsoidal Statistical model with the Prandtl number Pr below 2/3 is discussed. Although 2/3 is the lower bound of Pr for the H theorem to hold unconditionally, it is shown that the theorem still holds even for $\mathrm{Pr}<2/3$, provided that anisotropy of stress tensor satisfies a certain criterion. The practical tolerance of that criterion is assessed numerically by the strong normal shock wave and the Couette flow problems. A couple of moving plate tests are also conducted.

description: Research indicates that low parental monitoring increases the risk for early substance use. Because low parental monitoring tends to co-occur with other familial and neighborhood factors, the specificity of the association is challenging to establish. Using logistic regression and propensity score analyses, we examined associations between low parental monitoring and early substance use in European American (EA) and African American (AA) girls, controlling for risk factors associated with low parental monitoring.

description: We study a model of a quantum spin register interacting with an environment of spin particles in quantum-measurement limit. In the limit of collective decoherence we obtain the form of state vectors that constitute high-dimensional decoherence-free subspaces (DFS). In a more general setting we present sufficient and necessary conditions for existence of low-dimensional DFSs that can be used to construct subspaces of higher dimension.

description: Pregnant substance users can benefit significantly from substance abuse treatment but treatment retention can be challenging. Two hundred pregnant substance users entering outpatient substance abuse treatment at 1 of 4 treatment programs were randomized to receive either 3 individual sessions of Motivational Enhancement Therapy for pregnant substance users (MET-PS) or the first 3 individual sessions normally provided by the program. All participants were encouraged to participate in all other treatment offered by the program. Outcome measures included treatment utilization according to clinic records, qualitative urine toxicology measures, and self-report of substance use. One hundred and sixty two participants (i.e., 81%) completed the 1 month active phase. Participants attended 62% of scheduled treatment on average and reported decreased substance use during the first month of treatment, with no differences between MET-PS and treatment as usual participants. There was some evidence that the efficacy of MET-PS varied between sites and that MET-PS might be more beneficial than TAU in decreasing substance use in minority participants. These results suggest that MET-PS is not more effective than treatment as usual for pregnant substance users in general but that there might be particular subgroups or treatment programs for which MET-PS might be more or less effective than treatment as usual.

description: ABSTRACT Background: Olfactory dysfunction is a common but under-diagnosed complaint, and there is a lack of studies evaluatingthe direct correlation between asthma and olfactory disorders. Objectives: To evaluate the presence of olfactory disorders in patients with asthma. Methods: Ninety three patients with asthma aged ≥ 18 years were selected at the ProAR Clinic in Salvador, Brazil, between March 2019 and February 2020. All the patients underwent the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) and otorhinolaryngological/clinical evaluation. We analyzed the correlation between the classification of olfactory disorders and clinical variables of asthma. Results: Among the 93 enrolled asthmatic patients (63 had moderate to severe asthma and 30 had mild asthma), 89 (95.7%) were diagnosed with olfactory disorders, and four (4.3 %) had normosmia. Individuals with moderate to severe hyposmia or anosmia were older (56.5 years), while individuals with normosmia or mild hyposmia were younger (49.4 years) (p=0.029). Sixty seven patients (72%) were diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but only 5.9% had nasal polyps. No statistically significant differences were found in the analysis of association between CRS and olfactory disorders. None of the patients with anosmia met the criteria for allergic rhinitis; however, all individuals with normosmia met the criteria for allergic rhinitis (p=0.035). We found that 86.9% of asthmatic patients with moderate to severe hyposmia or anosmia had used oral steroids in the previous year or injectable steroids in the last 6 months. Among individuals with normosmia or mild hyposmia, 64.5% had used oral or injectable corticosteroids during the same period (p=0.012). Fourteen patients in this study were not diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or CRS. The UPSIT demonstrated that all patients with no apparent nasal diseases had olfactory disorders. Conclusion: Olfactory disorders are common in asthmatic patients.
Extended Red Objects and Stellar Wind Bow Shocks in the Carina Nebula

description: We report the results of infrared photometry on 39 extended red objects (EROs) in the Carina Nebula, observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Most EROs are identified by bright, extended 8.0 um emission, which ranges from 10'' to 40'' in size, but our sample also includes 4 EROs identified by extended 24 um emission. Of particular interest are nine EROs associated with late O or early B-type stars and characterized by arc-shaped morphology, suggesting dusty, stellar-wind bow shocks. These objects are preferentially oriented towards the central regions of the Carina Nebula, suggesting that these bow shocks are generally produced by the interactions of OB winds with the bulk expansion of the H II region rather than high proper motion. We identify preferred regions of mid-infrared color space occupied by our bow shock candidates, which also contain bow shock candidates in M17 and RCW 49 but are well-separated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission or circumstellar discs. Color cuts identify an additional 12 marginally-resolved bow shock candidates, 10 of which are also associated with known late O or early B stars. H II region expansion velocities derived from bow shock candidate standoff distances are ~10 km/s, assuming typical H II region gas densities, comparable to expansion velocities derived from bow shocks in M17 and RCW 49. One candidate bow shock provides direct evidence of physical interaction between the massive stellar winds originating in the Trumpler 15 and Trumpler 14 clusters, supporting the conclusion that both clusters are at similar heliocentric distances.

description: Policy makers and advocates are increasingly encouraging child-serving organizations to work together. The current study examined how child welfare agency ties with substance abuse treatment providers and schools correlated with substance abuse treatment for adolescents receiving child protective services. A sample of adolescents with substance use risk was extracted from a national survey of families engaged with child welfare. Logistic regressions with adjustments for complex survey design used child welfare agency ties to substance abuse treatment providers and schools to predict treatment. As expected, adolescents were more likely to report treatment when child protective services and substance abuse treatment were in the same agency and when child welfare agency directors reported joint planning with schools. However, child welfare agency agreements with substance abuse treatment providers were negatively associated with treatment. This unexpected finding implies that agencies may sometimes cooperate to address problems as well as to improve service utilization.

description: Modeling turnover in group membership has been identified as a key barrier contributing to a disconnect between the manner in which behavioral treatment is conducted (open enrollment groups) and the designs of substance abuse treatment trials (closed enrollment groups, individual therapy). Latent class pattern mixture models (LCPMM) are an emerging tool for modeling data from open enrollment groups with membership turnover in recently proposed treatment trials. The current article illustrates an approach to conducting power analyses for open enrollment designs based on Monte Carlo simulation of LCPMM models using parameters derived from published data from an RCT comparing Seeking Safety to a Community Care condition for women presenting with comorbid PTSD and substance use disorders. The example addresses discrepancies between the analysis framework assumed in power analyses of many recently-proposed open enrollment trials and the proposed use of LCPMM for data analysis.
