Abstract
Canagliflozin (Invokana®) is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor indicated in various countries worldwide for the once-daily oral treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Canagliflozin lowers blood glucose levels independently of insulin, with the inhibition of SGLT2 reducing renal reabsorption of glucose and increasing excretion of glucose in the urine. In well-designed clinical trials, canagliflozin (as first-line monotherapy or add-on therapy to other antihyperglycaemic agents) improved glycaemic control in adults with T2D, including those of older age and/or at high cardiovascular (CV) risk, and also had beneficial effects on their bodyweight and blood pressure. CV risk reduction, as well as possible renal benefits, were also seen with canagliflozin in T2D patients at high CV risk in the CANVAS Program, an integrated analysis of two large CV outcomes studies. Canagliflozin was generally well tolerated, had a low risk of hypoglycaemia and was most commonly associated with adverse events such as genital and urinary tract infections and increased urination, consistent with its mechanism of action. Although the amputation and fracture risk observed among recipients of the drug require further investigation, canagliflozin is an important option for T2D management in adults.

reSolve - A Transverse Momentum Resummation Tool

description: In this note, we introduce the new tool reSolve, a Monte Carlo differential cross-section and parton-level event generator whose main purpose is to add transverse momentum resummation to a general class of inclusive processes at hadron colliders, namely all those which do not involve hadrons or jets in the measured final state. This documentation refers to the first main version release, which will form the basis for continued developments, consequently it only implements the key features of those we plan to ultimately include. This article acts as a manual for the program; describing in detail its use, structure, validation and results; whilst also highlighting key aspects of the resummation formalism applied. It details the two classes of processes so far included; these are diphoton production and Drell-Yan production. A main concept behind the development of the tool is that it is a hands-on white box for the user: significant effort has been made to give the program a modular structure, making the various parts which comprise it independent of each other as much as possible and ensuring they are transparently documented, customizable and, in principle, replaceable with something that may better serve the users needs. reSolve is a new C++ program, based on an evolution of the private Fortran code 2gres, previously used for the calculations in refs. [1] and [2]; it is also influenced by the DYRes Fortran code of refs. [3] and [4]. This initial version calculates the low transverse momentum contribution to the fully differential cross-section for two main categories of processes; the inclusive production of two photons, and inclusive Drell-Yan production. In all cases resummation up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithm (NNLL) is included. We aim to extend the program to several more processes in the near future. The program is publicly available on Github.

description: Topological models of empirical and formal inquiry are increasingly prevalent. They have emerged in such diverse fields as domain theory [1, 16], formal learning theory [18], epistemology and philosophy of science [10, 15, 8, 9, 2], statistics [6, 7] and modal logic [17, 4]. In those applications, open sets are typically interpreted as hypotheses deductively verifiable by true propositional information that rules out relevant possibilities. However, in statistical data analysis, one routinely receives random samples logically compatible with every statistical hypothesis. We bridge the gap between propositional and statistical data by solving for the unique topology on probability measures in which the open sets are exactly the statistically verifiable hypotheses. Furthermore, we extend that result to a topological characterization of learnability in the limit from statistical data.

description: Davidsen et al. (1991) have argued that the failure to detect uv photons from the dark matter DM) in cluster A665 excludes the decaying neutrino hypothesis. Sciama et al. (1993) argued that because of high central concentration the DM in that cluster must be baryonic. We study the DM profile in clusters of galaxies simulated using the Harrison--Zel'dovich spectrum of density fluctuations, and an amplitude previously derived from numerical simulations (Melott 1984b; Anninos et al. 1991) and in agreement with microwave background fluctuations (Smoot et al. 1992). We find that with this amplitude normalization cluster neutrino DM densities are comparable to observed cluster DM values. We conclude that given this normalization, the cluster DM should be at least largely composed of neutrinos. The constraint of Davidsen et al. can be somewhat weakened by the presence of baryonic DM; but it cannot be eliminated given our assumptions.

description: Despite tropical species comprising nearly 60% of Psocidae species, previous studies examining the Psocidae phylogeny have undersampled tropical diversity (<40% species in trees). Here we discuss the systematics of the Psocidae based on the most comprehensive species-level sampling of the Psocidae. We infer the phylogenetic position of 43 previously unsampled Neotropical species in the Psocidae phylogeny. We find that Neotropical psocids are generally not closely related to morphologically similar taxa in the Holarctic region. Consequently, the monophyletic status for the major groups within Psocidae (subfami?lies and tribes) is recovered only when Holarctic groups are sampled (7–10 of 11 higher-level groups are monophyletic) but violated when Neotropical species are also sampled in the tree (1 of 11 higher-level groups are monophyletic). Our study pinpoints at the downfalls of simply extending taxonomic knowl?edge from lineages of a certain area (i.e. Holarctic) to inform diversity and evolution of lineages in other regions (i.e. Neotropics).

description: Charm production as related to the determination of the strange sea density in deep inelastic charged current processes is studied predominantly in the framework of the $\overline{\rm{MS}}$ fixed flavor factorization scheme. Perturbative stability within this formalism is demonstrated. The compatibility of recent next-to-leading order strange quark distributions with the available dimuon and $F^{νN}_2$ data is investigated. It is shown that final conclusions concerning these distributions afford further analyses of presently available and/or forthcoming neutrino data.

description: The interaction of a two-level system (TLS) with a single bosonic mode is one of the most fundamental processes in quantum optics. Microscopically, it is described by the quantum Rabi model (QRM). Here, we propose an implementation of this model based on single trapped cold atoms. The TLS is implemented using atomic Zeeman states, while the atom's vibrational states in the trap represent the bosonic mode. The coupling is mediated by a suitable fictitious magnetic field pattern. We show that all important system parameters, i.e., the emitter-field detuning and the coupling strength of the emitter to the mode, can be tuned over a wide range. Remarkably, assuming realistic experimental conditions, our approach allows one to explore the regimes of ultra-strong coupling, deep strong coupling, and dispersive deep strong coupling. The states of the bosonic mode and the TLS can be prepared and read out using standard cold-atom techniques. Moreover, we show that our scheme enables the implementation of important generalizations, namely, the driven QRM, the QRM with quadratic coupling as well as the case of many TLSs coupled to one mode (Dicke model). The proposed cold-atom based implementation will facilitate experimental studies of a series of phenomena predicted for the QRM in extreme, so far unexplored physical regimes.
Using FU Orionis Outbursts to Constrain Self-Regulated Protostellar Disk Models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: One dimensional, convective, vertical structure models and one dimensional, time dependent, radial diffusion models are combined to create a self-consistent picture in which FU~Orionis outbursts occur in young stellar objects (YSOs) as the result of a large scale, self-regulated, thermal ionization instability in the surrounding protostellar accretion disk. By fitting the results of time dependent disk models to observed time scales of FU~Orionis events, we estimate the magnitude of the effeciency of the effective viscous stress in the inner disk (r < 1 AU) to be, in accordance with the ad hoc ``alpha'' prescription, 10^{-4} where hydrogen is neutral and 10^{-3} where hydrogen is ionized. We hypothesize that all YSOs receive infall onto their outer disks which is steady (or slowly declining with time) and that FU~Orionis outbursts are self-regulated, disk outbursts which occur only in systems which transport matter inward at a rate sufficiently high to cause hydrogen to be ionized in the inner disk. We estimate a critical mass flux of 5x10^{-7} solar masses / year {\it independent of the magnitude of alpha} for systems with one solar mass, three solar radius central objects. Infall accretion rates in the range of (1-10)x10^{-6} solar masses per year produce observed FU~Orionis time scales consistent with estimates of spherical molecular cloud core collapse rates.

description: A Webview embeds a full-fledged browser in a mobile application and allows the application to expose a custom interface to JavaScript code. This is a popular technique to build so-called hybrid applications, but it circumvents the usual security model of the browser: any malicious JavaScript code injected into the Webview gains access to the interface and can use it to manipulate the device or exfiltrate sensitive data. In this paper, we present an approach to systematically evaluate the possible impact of code injection attacks against Webviews using static information flow analysis. Our key idea is that we can make reasoning about JavaScript semantics unnecessary by instrumenting the application with a model of possible attacker behavior -- the BabelView. We evaluate our approach on 11,648 apps from various Android marketplaces, finding 2,677 vulnerabilities in 1,663 apps. Taken together, the apps reported as vulnerable have over 835 million installations worldwide. We manually validated a random sample of 66 apps and estimate that our fully automated analysis achieves a precision of 90% at a recall of 66%.

description: We examine examples of weakly nonlinear systems whose steady states undergo a bifurcation with increasing forcing, such that a forced subsystem abruptly ceases to absorb additional energy, instead diverting it into an initially quiescent, unforced subsystem. We derive and numerically verify analytical predictions for the existence and behavior of such saturated states for a class of oscillator pairs. We also examine related phenomena, including zero-frequency response to periodic forcing, Hopf bifurcations to quasiperiodicity, and bifurcations to periodic behavior with multiple frequencies.

A variety of distributions are presented and discussed. Several of the distributions show marked differences between the resolved and direct cases due primarily to the presense of the gluon distribution in the former and lack thereof in the later.

The Baryonic Fraction in Groups of Galaxies from X-Ray Measurements

description: The recent {\sl ROSAT \/} X-ray detections of hot intergalactic gas in three groups of galaxies are reviewed and the resulting baryonic fraction in these groups is reevaluated. We show that the baryonic fraction obtained, assuming hydrostatic equilibrium, should depend, perhaps sensitively, on the radius out to which the X-rays are detected, and the temperature profile of the gas. We find that the NGC 2300 group has a baryonic fraction out to $25'$ of at least 20\%, thus over five times higher than in the original analysis of Mulchaey \etal\ (1993), and also much higher than one would obtain from big-bang nucleosynthesis, but similar to the other two groups as well as rich clusters. With this baryonic fraction, groups would be fair tracers of the distribution of baryons in the Universe if $Ωh_{50}^2 = 0.3$. A baryonic fraction that increases with radius is consistent with the X-ray data from all three groups. However, a detailed analysis of the NGC 2300 group shows that the dependence of baryonic fraction on radius is not well constrained by the data, in part because of uncertainties in the estimated background.

Abstract
Pomalidomide (Imnovid®; Pomalyst®), an analogue of thalidomide, is an immunomodulatory agent, with several mechanisms of action (both direct and indirect) thought to be involved in its anti-myeloma activity. Oral pomalidomide is available in several countries for use in combination with low-dose dexamethasone in adults with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. In multinational, phase II or III studies in patients with refractory, or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who had received ≥ 2 prior treatment regimens (including ≥ 2 cycles of both lenalidomide and bortezomib), pomalidomide plus low-dose dexamethasone was associated with prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival and an improved overall response rate. Pomalidomide plus low-dose dexamethasone had a manageable tolerability profile, with neutropenia, infections, anaemia and thrombocytopenia being the most frequently reported grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent adverse events. In conclusion, pomalidomide plus low-dose dexamethasone extends the treatment options available for the management of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma in a patient population that has very limited treatment options.

description: In a survey of the human mutation database, we have identified a mechanism, which we term ‘structural capacitance’ that results in the de novo generation of microstructure in previously disordered regions. These elements of protein microstructure are implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases, including cancer, and can generate neoantigens – epitopes that break immune tolerance. The aim of this project is to use machine learning to identify novel neoantigens from known somatic mutations, characterise their biochemical, biophysical and structural properties, paving the way for development of neoantigen-focused immunotherapies, including targeted antibodies, and cellular therapies.

Integration of ground-penetrating radar and gamma-ray detectors for non-intrusive localisation of buried radioactive sources
Creators: name: Ukaegbu, Ikechukwu
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis reports on the integration of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and gamma ray detectors to improve the non-intrusive localisation of radioactive wastes buried in porous materials such as soil and concrete. The research was undertaken in two phases. In the first phase, a new non-intrusive technique for retrieving the depth of a buried radioactive source from two-dimensional raster radiation images was developed. The images were obtained by moving a gamma-ray detector in discrete steps on the surface of the material volume in which the source is buried and measuring the gamma spectrum at each step. The depth of the source was then estimated by fitting the intensity values from the measured spectra to an approximate three-dimensional gamma-ray attenuation model. This procedure was first optimised using Monte Carlo simulations and then validated using experiments. The results showed that this method is able to estimate the depth of a 658 kBq caesium-137 point source buried up to 18 cm in each of sand, soil and gravel. However, the use of only gamma-ray data to estimate the depth of the sources requires foreknowledge of the density of the embedding material. This is usually III IV difficult without having recourse to intrusive density estimation methods or historical density values. Therefore, the second phase of the research employed integrated GPR and gamma ray detection to solve this density requirement problem. Firstly, four density models were investigated using a suite of materials and the best model was then used to develop the integration method. Results from numerical simulations showed that the developed integration method can simultaneously retrieve the soil density and the depth and radius of disk-shaped radioactive objects buried up to 20 cm in soil of varying conditions with a elative error of less than 10%. Therefore, the integration method eliminates the need for prior knowledge of the density of the embedding material. This work represents the first time data from these two systems i.e., GPR and gamma-ray detector, will be integrated for the detection and localisation of radioactive sources. Furthermore, the results from the developed methods confirm that an integrated GPR and gamma-ray detector system is a viable tool for non-intrusive localisation of buried radioactive sources. This will enable improved characterisation of buried radioactive wastes encountered during the decommissioning of nuclear sites and facilities.

The topics include a basic discussion of the theory of neutrino mass and the corresponding extensions of the Standard Model that incorporate massive neutrinos; an overview of the present observational status of neutrino mass searches, with emphasis on solar neutrinos, as well the as cosmological data on the amplitude of primordial density fluctuations; the implications of neutrino mass in cosmological nucleosynthesis, non-accelerator, as well as in high energy particle collider experiments. Turning to the electroweak breaking sector, we discuss the physics potential for Higgs boson searches at LEP200, including Majoron extensions of the Standard Model, and the physics of invisibly decaying Higgs bosons. We discuss the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model phenomenology, as well as some of the laboratory signatures that would be associated to models with R parity violation, especially in Z and scalar boson decays.

Despite this growth, the impact of surgical computer vision remains limited compared to other medical fields like pathology and radiology, primarily due to the scarcity of representative annotated data. Whereas transfer learning from large annotated datasets such as ImageNet has been conventionally the norm to achieve high-performing models, recent advancements in self-supervised learning (SSL) have demonstrated superior performance. In medical image analysis, in-domain SSL pretraining has already been shown to outperform ImageNet-based initialization. Although unlabeled data in the field of surgical computer vision is abundant, the diversity within this data is limited. This study investigates the role of dataset diversity in SSL for surgical computer vision, comparing procedure-specific datasets against a more heterogeneous general surgical dataset across three different downstream surgical applications. The obtained results show that using solely procedure-specific data can lead to substantial improvements of 13.8%, 9.5%, and 36.8% compared to ImageNet pretraining. However, extending this data with more heterogeneous surgical data further increases performance by an additional 5.0%, 5.2%, and 2.5%, suggesting that increasing diversity within SSL data is beneficial for model performance. The code and pretrained model weights are made publicly available at https://github.com/TimJaspers0801/SurgeNet.

A Possible Local Counterpart to the Excess Population of Faint Blue Galaxies

description: OBSERVATIONS of galaxies to very faint magnitudes have revealed a population of blue galaxies at intermediate redshift$^{1-5}$. These galaxies represent a significant excess over the expectation of standard cosmological models for reasonable amounts of evolution of the locally observed galaxy population. However, the surveys which define the local galaxy population are strongly biased against objects of low surface brightness$^{6-9}$. Low surface brightness galaxies have properties very similar to those of the excess blue population$^{10,11}$, and recent work suggests that they are comparable in abundance to the more readily detected normal galaxies$^{9,12}$. I show that the very deep surveys which reveal the excess population can easily detect low surface brightness galaxies to large redshifts, but that local surveys will miss them because they are not comparably sensitive. This suggests that the excess faint galaxies {\it are\/} low surface brightness galaxies. No alteration of standard cosmology is required, but it is necessary to reconsider the way in which the galaxy distribution function is specified.

description: This paper establishes a fundamental theory of secure clock synchronization. Accurate clock synchronization is the backbone of systems managing power distribution, financial transactions, telecommunication operations, database services, etc. Some clock synchronization (time transfer) systems, such as the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), are based on one-way communication from a master to a slave clock. Others, such as the Network Transport Protocol (NTP), and the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), involve two-way communication between the master and slave. This paper shows that all one-way time transfer protocols are vulnerable to replay attacks that can potentially compromise timing information. A set of conditions for secure two-way clock synchronization is proposed and proved to be necessary and sufficient. It is shown that IEEE 1588 PTP, although a two-way synchronization protocol, is not compliant with these conditions, and is therefore insecure. Requirements for secure IEEE 1588 PTP are proposed, and a second example protocol is offered to illustrate the range of compliant systems.

description: We use a chiral random matrix model to investigate the effects of massive quarks on the distribution of eigenvalues of QCD inspired Dirac operators. Kalkreuter's lattice analysis of the spectrum of the massive (hermitean) Dirac operator for two colors and Wilson fermions is shown to follow from a cubic equation in the quenched approximation. The quenched spectrum shows a Mott-transition from a (delocalized) Goldstone phase softly broken by the current mass, to a (localized) heavy quark phase, with quarks localized over their Compton wavelength. Both phases are distinguishable by the quark density of states at zero virtuality, with a critical quark mass of the order of 100-200 MeV. At the critical point, the quark density of states is given by $ν_Q (λ) \sim |λ|^{1/3}$. Using Grassmannian techniques, we derive an integral representation for the resolvent of the massive Dirac operator with one-flavor in the unquenched approximation, and show that near zero virtuality, the distribution of eigenvalues is quantitatively changed by a non-zero quark mass. The generalization of our construction to arbitrary flavors is also discussed. Some recommendations for lattice simulations are suggested.

On the Nature of Nonthermal Radiation from Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursters

description: Relativistic electron-positron winds with strong magnetic fields are considered as a source of radiation for cosmological $γ$-ray bursters. Such a wind is generated by a millisecond pulsar with a very strong magnetic field. An electron-positron plasma near the pulsar is optically thick and in quasi-thermodynamic equilibrium. It is shown that the main part of radiation from the pulsar wind is nonthermal and generates in the following way. Kinetic energy which is released in the process of deceleration of the neutron star rotation transforms mainly to the magnetic field energy. The magnetic field is frozen in the outflowing plasma if the distance to the pulsar is smaller than $\sim 10^{13}$ cm. This field transfers the energy from the pulsar environment to the region outside the $γ$-ray photosphere of the electron-positron wind. At a distance of more than $\sim 10^{13}$ cm the magnetohydrodynamic approximation for the pulsar wind is broken, and intense electromagnetic waves are generated. The frequency of these waves is equal to the frequency of the pulsar rotation. Outflowing particles are accelerated in the field of intense electromagnetic waves to Lorentz factors of the order of $10^6$ and generate nonthermal synchro-Compton radiation. The typical energy of nonthermal photons is $\sim 1$ MeV. A high-energy tail of the $γ$-ray spectrum may be up to $\sim 10^4$ MeV. Baryonic matter is ejected occasionally from the pulsar magnetosphere. The baryonic matter ejection and subsequent suppression of the $γ$-ray emission may be responsible for the time structure of $γ$-ray bursts.

description: Generative AI has shown potential in solving physics problems and providing feedback on assessments. However, results are sometimes still inaccurate, at the wrong level, or using notations and definitions not appropriate for a particular course. A possible solution is augmenting the prompts with course-specific reference materials. Also, for feedback on homework solutions and grading exams, the problem text and the sample solution or grading rubric can be injected into the prompts. Project Ethel at ETH Zurich aims to construct a virtual teaching assistant using these practices.

description: We investigate an alternative seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation. Neutrino mass is generated at loop level but the basic concept of usual seesaw mechanism is kept. One simple model is constructed to show how this mechanism is realized. The applications of this seesaw mechanism at weak scale to cosmology and neutrino physics are discussed.

description: Fix a finite group $G$ and a conjugacy invariant subset $C\subseteq G$. Let $Σ$ be an oriented surface, possibly with punctures. We consider the question of when two homomorphisms $π_1(Σ) \to G$ taking punctures into $C$ are equivalent up to an orientation preserving diffeomorphism of $Σ$. We provide an answer to this question in a stable range, meaning that $Σ$ has enough genus and enough punctures of every conjugacy type in $C$. If $C$ generates $G$, then we can assume $Σ$ has genus 0 (or any other constant). The main tool is a classifying space for (framed) $C$-branched $G$-covers, and related homology classes we call branched Schur invariants, since they take values in a torsor over a quotient of the Schur multiplier $H_2(G)$. We conclude with a brief discussion of applications to $(2+1)$-dimensional $G$-equivariant TQFT and symmetry-enriched topological phases.
