description: Background To estimate prevalence and incidence of diseases through self-reports in observational studies, it is important to understand the accuracy of participant reports. We aimed to quantify the agreement of self-reported and general practitioner-reported diseases in an old-aged population and to identify socio-demographic determinants of agreement. Methods This analysis was conducted as part of the AugUR study (n=2449), a prospective population-based cohort study in individuals aged 70–95 years, including 2321 participants with consent to contact physicians. Self-reported chronic diseases of participants were compared with medical data provided by their respective general practitioners (n=589, response rate=25.4%). We derived overall agreement, over-reporting/under-reporting, and Cohen’s kappa and used logistic regression to evaluate the dependency of agreement on participants’ sociodemographic characteristics. Results Among the 589 participants (53.1% women), 96.9% reported at least one of the evaluated chronic diseases. Overall agreement was >80% for hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer, asthma, bronchitis/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and rheumatoid arthritis, but lower for heart failure, kidney disease and arthrosis. Cohen’s kappa was highest for diabetes and cancer and lowest for heart failure, musculoskeletal, kidney and lung diseases. Sex was the primary determinant of agreement on stroke, kidney disease, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. Agreement for myocardial infarction and stroke was most compromised by older age and for cancer by lower educational level. Conclusion Self-reports may be an effective tool to assess diabetes and cancer in observational studies in the old and very old aged. In contrast, self-reports on heart failure, musculoskeletal, kidney or lung diseases may be substantially imprecise.

description: Objective: The interest and application of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in treating lesser toe deformities have increased worldwide. The symptoms are often attributed to callosities and localized pressure. Conservative treatment may improve comfort, but its success largely depends on the level of deformity. When conservative treatment fails, surgery may be indicated. This study explores the available evidence and reviews in the literature seeking to examine the efficacy of MIS in lesser toe pathology. Methods: A systematic review was performed, and the search included the following databases: Cochrane Library, CINAHL, MEDLINE®, PUBMED, Science Direct, and other relevant peer-reviewed sources between September 2019 and June 2022. In addition, a manual search was conducted in Australian, American, British, and European orthopedic and podiatric scientific data for relevant studies. Results: The search for potentially eligible information for this systematic review yielded 92 unique studies. All studies identified were obtained and reviewed. An updated search was performed in July 2022, resulting in no additional studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria. After considering all potentially eligible studies, five (5.4%) met the inclusion criteria. One thousand one hundred eighty-six lesser toe procedures (500 patients) were included. The overwhelming majority of patients were female (80.5%). The patient’s mean age was 56.9 (range 18-91) years, and the mean follow-up was 19.6 (range 6-33) months. All of the studies included early mobilization in the postoperative protocol. Conclusion: There is a need for more research using a combination of validated patient-reported outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of MIS procedures in treating lesser toe deformities alongside the development of validated and tested treatment algorithms to guide surgical decision-making.

description: Many work extraction or information erasure processes in the literature involve the raising and lowering of energy levels via external fields. But even if the actual system is treated quantum mechanically, the field is assumed to be classical and of infinite strength, hence not developing any correlations with the system or experiencing back-actions. We extend these considerations to a fully quantum mechanical treatment, by studying a spin-1/2 particle coupled to a finite-sized directional quantum reference frame, a spin-l system, which models an external field. With this concrete model together with a bosonic thermal bath, we analyse the back-action a finite-size field suffers during a quantum-mechanical work extraction process, the effect this has on the extractable work, and highlight a range of assumptions commonly made when considering such processes. The well-known semi-classical treatment of work extraction from a pure qubit predicts a maximum extractable work W = kT log 2 for a quasi-static process, which holds as a strict upper bound in the fully quantum mechanical case, and is only attained in the classical limit. We also address the problem of emergent local time-dependence in a joint system with globally fixed Hamiltonian.

title: Behaviour pattern recognition based context-aware access control in smart home environments
Creators: name: Vidovic, Ivo
Year: 2021

description: Jede Person hat alltägliche Angewohnheiten und Terminpläne, die in einer Sequenz von erkennbaren Aktionen resultieren, was auch als deren Verhalten betrachtet werden kann. In einer heimautomatisierten Umgebung wird eine ausführliche Kontextanalyse durchgeführt um Muster in dem Verhalten der Benutzer und des Systems zu erkennen. Diese Muster werden dem Zugriffskontrollmechanismus der Umgebung zur Verfügung gestellt, wodurch dieser in der Lage ist auf das Wissen über das übliche Verhalten im System zuzugreifen. Die zentralen Fragen dieser wissenschaftlichen Arbeit sind wie Verhalten als Verhaltensmuster in einer heimautomatisierten Umgebung modelliert werden kann, wie das modellierte Verhalten in der Zugriffskontrolle eingebunden werden kann und wie lang die Anlernzeit der Verhaltensmuster ist. Die behaviour engine wird als heimautomatisierte Komponente zum Erkennen von Verhaltensmustern eingeführt und eine ausführliche Evaluation wird durchgeführt um die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zu verifizieren. Die Evaluationen basieren teilweise auf dem CosyHome Datensatz, welcher im Rahmen dieser Arbeit in einer Fallstudie erzeugt worden ist.
description: The everyday schedule and habits of each person result in a sequence of actions that can be observed, which can also be referred to as their behaviour. An in-depth context analysis is performed on a smart home environment to create a context-aware solution for recognizing patterns in the behaviour of the users and the system. These patterns are made available for access control, which makes it possible for the access control mechanism (ACM) to include the knowledge of the usual behaviour found in the system during the access control decision. The central questions of this thesis are how behaviour can be modeled as behaviour patterns in a smart home environment, how the modeled behaviour can be used in access control, and how long the learning time of these behaviour patterns is. The behaviour engine is introduced as a smart home component responsible for determining behaviour and an extensive evaluation is performed against it to confirm the results of this thesis. The evaluations are partly based on CosyHome, which is a big dataset created in a case study as part of this work.

description: Despite its popularity, it is widely recognized that the investigation of some theoretical aspects of clustering has been relatively sparse. One of the main reasons for this lack of theoretical results is surely the fact that, whereas for other statistical problems the theoretical population goal is clearly defined (as in regression or classification), for some of the clustering methodologies it is difficult to specify the population goal to which the data-based clustering algorithms should try to get close. This paper aims to provide some insight into the theoretical foundations of clustering by focusing on two main objectives: to provide an explicit formulation for the ideal population goal of the modal clustering methodology, which understands clusters as regions of high density; and to present two new loss functions, applicable in fact to any clustering methodology, to evaluate the performance of a data-based clustering algorithm with respect to the ideal population goal. In particular, it is shown that only mild conditions on a sequence of density estimators are needed to ensure that the sequence of modal clusterings that they induce is consistent.

Hanany-Witten effect and SL(2,Z) dualities in matrix models

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We provide tests of dualities for three-dimensional N=4 quiver SCFTs with brane realizations in IIB string theory, by matching their exact partition functions on $S^3$. The dualities are generated by SL(2,Z) transformations and Hanany-Witten 5-brane moves. These contain mirror symmetry as well as dualities identifiying fixed points of Yang-Mills quivers and Chern-Simons theories. The partition function is given by a matrix model, that can be nicely rearranged into a sequence of factors mimicking the brane realization. Identities obeyed by these elementary factors can be used to match the partition functions of dual theories, providing tests for the full web of dualities. In particular we are able to check mirror symmetry for linear and circular quivers with gauge nodes of arbitrary ranks. Our analysis also leads to a proof of a conjectured formula evaluating the matrix models of linear quiver theories.

description: The call auction is a widely used trading mechanism, especially during the opening and closing periods of financial markets. In this paper, we study a standard call auction problem where orders are submitted according to Poisson processes, with random prices distributed according to a general distribution, and may be cancelled at any time. We compute the analytical expressions of the distributions of the traded volume, of the lower and upper bounds of the clearing prices, and of the price range of these possible clearing prices of the call auction. Using results from the theory of order statistics and a theorem on the limit of sequences of random variables with independent random indices, we derive the weak limits of all these distributions. In this setting, traded volume and bounds of the clearing prices are found to be asymptotically normal, while the clearing price range is asymptotically exponential. All the parameters of these distributions are explicitly derived as functions of the parameters of the incoming orders' flows.

title: Das Erkennen der menschlichen Würde
Creators: name: Schweigkofler, Florian
Year: 2021

description: Warum Menschenwürde? Der Grund für die Arbeit war wohl der Anlass, dass die Soziologie häufig mit schwer greifbaren, aber dennoch in aller Munde seienden Wörtern wie Würde, Ethnie etc. geradezu zu kämpfen hat. Deshalb setzt sich die Arbeit zum Ziel, eine Heuristik und somit ein Werkzeug zum grundlegenden Fassen und Verstehen solcher Begriffe zu erstellen. Dieses Unterfangen soll mittels der Anerkennungstheorie gelöst werden. Als Ergebnis kann ein Prozess genannt werden, der sich folgendermaßen aufbaut: Er setzt sich aus einem grundlegenden Verständnis philosophischer, historischer, soziologischer Art über die Menschenwürde, sprich, wie es überhaupt gedacht werden kann, zusammen. Diese fundamentalen Stränge wurden im ersten Teil der Arbeit geklärt und können auf Arbeitsteilung, Individualisierung, soziale Differenzierung etc. zurückgeführt werden. Im zweiten Schritt wurde anhand der Anerkennungstheorie gezeigt, dass es zudem ein Subjekt und eine Abstraktionsfläche braucht. Dabei wurde im Detail erörtert, wie Anerkennung grundlegend in unserer alltäglichen Kommunikation und unserem sozialen Sein, sei es z.B. intersubjektiv oder institutionell von Bedeutung ist. Im anschließenden Schritt wurden diese Erkenntnisse in ein Ebenenmodell transferiert, um es bezogen auf ein konkretes Beispiel bzw. eine Situation greifbar zu machen. Dabei wurde die Rekategorisierung des Verständnisses der Anerkennung bzw. Verkennung für das Modell herangezogen, um zu zeigen, ob es eine Grenze zwischen den beiden Modi im Prozess der Konstruktion der Menschenwürde gibt und ob es sich demnach um eine entwürdigende oder würdigende Konstruktion handelt. Auf dieser Basis schlussendlich kann das mehrdimensionale Begriffskonstrukt als ein Prozess verstanden werden, der sich auf den sechs Ebenen physisch, psychisch, intersubjektiv, institutionell, kulturell und religiös/spirituell konstruiert, sich in Abstraktionen zeigt und Anerkennung das Medium ist. Das Konstrukt der Würde kann somit wissenschaftlich annähernd als Heuristik verstanden werden. Es gibt nicht die Würde, die Ethnie, die Identität, das Subjekt etc., vielmehr ist es ein lebendiger, sich stetig transformierender Prozess, der sich auf den mannigfaltigen beschriebenen Ebenen mosaikartig entwickelt und zu erkennen ist. Exemplarisch wurde dies anhand eines Negativbeispiels, nämlich der Arbeitslosigkeit, veranschaulicht, welches sich zusätzlich auf den Exkurs „Die Krux mit der Arbeitsgesellschaft“ stützt.

description: The infectiousness of infected individuals is known to depend on the time since the individual was infected, that is called the age of infection. Here, we study the parameter identifiability of the Kermack–McKendrick model with age of infection which takes into account this dependency. By considering a single cohort of individuals, we show that the daily reproduction number can be obtained by solving a Volterra integral equation that depends on the flow of new infected individuals. We test the consistency of the method by generating data from deterministic and stochastic numerical simulations. Finally, we apply our method to a dataset from SARS-CoV-1 with detailed information on a single cluster of patients. We stress the necessity of taking into account the initial data in the analysis to ensure the identifiability of the problem.

description: We analyze the dynamical evolution of a perturbed force-free magnetosphere of a rotating black hole, which is described by the Blandford-Znajek solution in the stationary limit. We find that the electromagnetic field perturbations can be classified into two categories: "trapped modes" and "traveling waves". The trapped modes are analogous to the vacuum (without plasma) electromagnetic quasinormal modes in rotating black hole spacetimes, but with different eigenfrequencies and wave functions, due to their coupling with the background electromagnetic field and current. The traveling waves propagate freely to infinity or the black hole horizon along specific null directions, and they are closely related to the no-scattering Poynting flux solutions discovered by Brennan, Gralla and Jacobson. Our results suggest that the Blandford-Znajek solution is mode stable, and more importantly we expect this study to illuminate the dynamical behavior of force-free magnetospheres as well as to shed light on the path to new exact solutions.

We find that star formation (SF) in the WDM model is reduced and delayed by 1-2 Gyr relative to the CDM model, independently of the details of SF and feedback. Independent of the DM model, but proportionally to the SF efficiency, gas outflows lower the central mass density through `dynamical heating', such that all realizations have circular velocities $

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Einblick in die Verwendung von Mehrsprachigkeit als ästhetisches Mittel im Film. Dabei wurde der Film Babel (2006, González Iñárritu) als Untersuchungsgegenstand herangezogen, um anhand dessen die unterschiedlichen Übersetzungsstrategien zu beobachten. Mittels einer Sequenzanalyse konnte genauer auf einzelne Szenen eingegangen werden und außerdem herausgefunden werden, welche Probleme oder Schwierigkeiten es im Umgang mit Mehrsprachigkeit in Filmen gibt. Die Wahl der richtigen Übersetzungsmethode ist entscheidend, wenn es darum geht, Filme als Gesamtkonzept von einer Sprache in die andere möglichst verlustfrei zu übertragen. Das Bewusstsein darüber, dass Sprache in Filmen mehr macht als nur Inhalte zu übertragen, soll in dieser Masterarbeit vermittelt werden und in der Folge zu einem interdisziplinären Erkenntnisgewinn führen.
description: The master's thesis provides an insight into the usage of multilingualism as an aesthetic element in film. The film Babel (2006, González Iñárritu) was chosen as the object of study in order to analyze the different translation strategies. By means of a sequence analysis, it was possible to examine individual scenes more closely and determine what problems or difficulties are encountered in dealing with multilingualism in films. It is crucial to select the right translation method when it comes to transferring films as an integral concept from one language to the other with as little loss of the original message as possible. The awareness that language in films means more than just translating content should be conveyed in this master’s thesis and subsequently lead to an interdisciplinary gain in knowledge.

description: Let \gh = \gh_{-k}\oplus \cdots \oplus \gh_{l} (k >0, l \geq 0) be a finite dimensional real graded Lie algebra, with a Euclidian metric \langle \cdot , \cdot \rangle adapted to the gradation. The metric \langle\cdot , \cdot \rangle is called admissible if the codifferentials \partial^{*} : C^{k+1}(\gh_{-}, \gh ) \ra C^{k} (\gh_{-}, \gh) (k\geq 0) are Ad_{Q}-invariant (Lie(Q) = \gh_{0}\oplus \gh_{+}). We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Euclidian metric, adapted to the gradation, to be admissible, and we develop a theory of normal Cartan connections, when these conditions are satisfied. We show how the treatment by A. Cap and J. Slovak (Parabolic Geometry I, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs, vol. 154, 2009), about normal Cartan connections of semisimple type, fits into our theory. We also consider in some detail the case when \gh = t^{*} (\gg ) is the cotangent Lie algebra of a non-positively graded Lie algebra \gg.

description: We conduct numerical simulations of the interacting ejecta from an exploding CO white dwarf (WD) with a He WD donor in the double-detonation scenario for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and study the possibility of exploding the companion WD. We also study the long time imprint of the collision on the supernova remnant. When the donor He WD has a low mass, M_WD = 0.2Msun, it is at a distance of ~ 0.08Rsun from the explosion, and helium is not ignited. The low mass He WD casts an 'ejecta shadow' behind it. By evolving the ejecta for longer times, we find that the outer parts of the shadowed side are fainter and its boundary with the ambient gas is somewhat flat. More massive He WD donors, M_WD ~ 0.4Msun, must be closer to the CO WD to transfer mass. At a distance of a < 0.045Rsun helium is detonated and the He WD explodes, leading to a triple detonation scenario. In the explosion of the donor WD approximately 0.15Msun of unburned helium is ejected. This might be observed as a peculiar type Ib supernova.

description: We find the coexistence of two kinds of non-abelian anyons, Majorana fermion at the geometric ends and Jackiw-Rebbi-type bound state (JRBS)at a domain-wall, in a topological superconducting phase in one-dimensional (1D) systems. Each localized JRBS carries a new fractional quantity, half of the parity of fermion number. This induces a topological protected crossing at the zero energy for its eigen-energy. For a chain embedded with a JRBS, one is possible to switch between the occupied and empty states of Majorana zero energy state (MZES) by varying the strength of external magnetic field across that crossing point. This enable a way to encode a quantum qubit into one MZES without breaking parity conservation. We propose that such JRBS and Majorana fermion can appear in two 1D models, one can be accomplished in an artificial lattice with staggered hopping, staggered spin-orbital interaction and staggered superconducting pairing for cold fermion atoms, the other is describing a 1D semiconductor chain sandwiched between s-wave superconductor and antiferromagnet.

description: Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an essential first-line tuberculosis drug for its unique mechanism of action active against multidrug-resistant-TB (MDR-TB). Thus, the aim of updated meta-analysis was to estimate the PZA weighted pooled resistance (WPR) rate in M. tuberculosis isolates based on publication date and WHO regions. We systematically searched the related reports in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase (from January 2015 to July 2022). Statistical analyses were performed using STATA software. The 115 final reports in the analysis investigated phenotypic PZA resistance data. The WPR of PZA was 57% (95% CI 48–65%) in MDR-TB cases. According to the WHO regions, the higher WPRs of PZA were reported in the Western Pacific (32%; 95% CI 18–46%), South East Asian region (37%; 95% CI 31–43%), and the Eastern Mediterranean (78%; 95% CI 54–95%) among any-TB patients, high risk of MDR-TB patients, and MDR-TB patients, respectively. A negligible increase in the rate of PZA resistance were showed in MDR-TB cases (55% to 58%). The rate of PZA resistance has been rising in recent years among MDR-TB cases, underlines the essential for both standard and novel drug regimens development.

description: We study the proximity-induced superconducting state in a general bilayer -- conventional $s$-wave superconductor hybrid structure. For the bilayer we include a general parabolic dispersion, Rashba spin-orbit coupling, and finite layer tunneling as well as the possibility to apply a bias potential and a magnetic Zeeman field, in order to address experimentally relevant bilayer systems, ranging from topological insulator thin films to generic double quantum well systems. By extracting the proximity-induced anomalous Green's function in the bilayer we show on a very rich structure for the superconducting pairing, including different spin states and odd-frequency pairing. Equal-spin spin-triplet $p_x\pm ip_y$-wave pairing is induced in both layers in the presence of a finite spin-orbit coupling and opposite-spin spin-triplet $s$-wave pairing with odd-frequency dependence appears for an applied magnetic Zeeman field. Finite interlayer pairing is also generally present in the bilayer. The interlayer pairing can be either even or odd in the layer index, with a complete reciprocity between parity in frequency and in layer index. We also find that a bilayer offers the possibility of sign reversal of the superconducting order parameters, both between the two layers and between multiple Fermi surfaces.

description: QCD finite energy sum rules, together with the latest updated ALEPH data on hadronic decays of the tau-lepton are used in order to determine the vacuum condensates of dimension $d=2$ and $d=4$. These data are also used to check the validity of the Weinberg sum rules, and to determine the chiral condensates of dimension $d=6$ and $d=8$, as well as the chiral correlator at zero momentum, proportional to the counter term of the ${\cal{O}}(p^4)$ Lagrangian of chiral perturbation theory, $\bar{L}_{10}$. Suitable (pinched) integration kernels are introduced in the sum rules in order to suppress potential quark-hadron duality violations. We find no compelling indications of duality violations in the kinematic region above $s \simeq 2.2$ GeV$^2$ after using pinched integration kernels.

Hall drift and the braking indices of young pulsars

description: Braking index measurements of young radio pulsars are all smaller than the value expected for spin down by magnetic dipole braking. We investigate magnetic field evolution in the neutron star crust due to Hall drift as an explanation for observed braking indices. Using numerical simulations and a semi-analytic model, we show that a $\approx 10^{14}\ {\rm G}$ quadrupolar toroidal field in the neutron star crust at birth leads to growth of the dipole moment at a rate large enough to agree with measured braking indices. A key factor is the density at which the crust yields to magnetic stresses that build up during the evolution, which sets a characteristic minimum Hall timescale. The observed braking indices of pulsars with inferred dipole fields of $\lesssim 10^{13}\ {\rm G}$ can be explained in this picture, although with a significant octupole component needed in some cases. For the stronger field pulsars, those with $B_d\gtrsim 10^{13}\ {\rm G}$, we find that the magnetic stresses in the crust exceed the maximum shear stress before the pulsar reaches its current age, likely quenching the Hall effect. This may have implications for the magnetar activity seen in the high magnetic field radio pulsar PSR~J1846-0258. Observations of braking indices may therefore be a new piece of evidence that neutron stars contain subsurface toroidal fields that are significantly stronger than the dipole field, and may indicate that the Hall effect is important in a wider range of neutron stars than previously thought.

Deformed quantum double realization of the toric code and beyond

description: Quantum double models, such as the toric code, can be constructed from transfer matrices of lattice gauge theories with discrete gauge groups and parametrized by the center of the gauge group algebra and its dual. For general choices of these parameters the transfer matrix contains operators acting on links which can also be thought of as perturbations to the quantum double model driving it out of its topological phase and destroying the exact solvability of the quantum double model. We modify these transfer matrices with perturbations and extract exactly solvable models which remain in a quantum phase, thus nullifying the effect of the perturbation. The algebra of the modified vertex and plaquette operators now obey a deformed version of the quantum double algebra. The Abelian cases are shown to be in the quantum double phase whereas the non-Abelian phases are shown to be in a modified phase of the corresponding quantum double phase. These are illustrated with the groups $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and $S_3$. The quantum phases are determined by studying the excitations of these systems namely their fusion rules and the statistics. We then go further to construct a transfer matrix which contains the other $\mathbb{Z}_2$ phase namely the double semion phase. More generally for other discrete groups these transfer matrices contain the twisted quantum double models. These transfer matrices can be thought of as being obtained by introducing extra parameters into the transfer matrix of lattice gauge theories. These parameters are central elements belonging to the tensor products of the algebra and its dual and are associated to vertices and volumes of the three dimensional lattice. As in the case of the lattice gauge theories we construct the operators creating the excitations in this case and study their braiding and fusion properties.
description: 21 pages, 5 figures, A new section has been added which shows how the double semion model can be obtained from the transfer matrix formalism. This section also shows how the twisted quantum double model of arXiv:1211.3695 [cond-mat.str-el] can be obtained from the transfer matrix formalism.

Spatial Diffuseness Features for DNN-Based Speech Recognition in Noisy and Reverberant Environments

description: We propose a spatial diffuseness feature for deep neural network (DNN)-based automatic speech recognition to improve recognition accuracy in reverberant and noisy environments. The feature is computed in real-time from multiple microphone signals without requiring knowledge or estimation of the direction of arrival, and represents the relative amount of diffuse noise in each time and frequency bin. It is shown that using the diffuseness feature as an additional input to a DNN-based acoustic model leads to a reduced word error rate for the REVERB challenge corpus, both compared to logmelspec features extracted from noisy signals, and features enhanced by spectral subtraction.

Quantum critical metals in $4-ε$ dimensions

description: We study the quantum theory of a Fermi surface coupled to a gapless boson scalar in $D=4-ε$ spacetime dimensions as a simple model for non-Fermi liquids (NFL) near a quantum phase transition. Our analysis takes into account the full backreaction from Landau damping of the boson, and obtains an RG flow that proceeds through three distinct stages. Above the scale of Landau damping the Fermi velocity flows to zero, while the coupling evolves according to its classical dimension. Once damping becomes important, its backreaction leads to a crossover regime where dynamic and static damping effects compete and the fermion self-energy does not respect scaling. Below this crossover and having tuned the boson to criticality, the theory flows to a $z=3$ scalar interacting with a NFL. By increasing the number of bosonic flavors, the phase diagram near the quantum critical point interpolates between a superconducting dome fully covering the NFL behavior, and a phase where NFL effects become important first, before the onset of superconductivity. A generic prediction of the theory is that the Fermi velocity and quasiparticle residue vanish with a power-law $ω^ε$ as the fixed point is approached. These features may be useful for understanding some of the phenomenology of high $T_c$ materials in a systematic $ε$--expansion.
