description: What is this summary about?This is a summary of an article about the LAVENDER study, which was published in Nature Medicine in June 2023. The study involved girls and young women with a rare genetic condition called Rett syndrome, which affects the way the brain develops. Researchers wanted to find out if a drug called trofinetide could improve the symptoms of Rett syndrome.
What happened during the LAVENDER study?A total of 187 girls and young women took trofinetide (brand name DAYBUE™) liquid or a placebo (something that looks the same as the trofinetide liquid but does not contain medicine) 2 times a day either by drinking it or through a tube into the stomach called a gastrostomy tube (g-tube). Changes in Rett syndrome symptoms were looked for by study doctors for 12 weeks by using a rating scale called the Clinical Global Impression–Improvement (CGI–I) and by caregivers (usually a parent) who completed a questionnaire called the Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ). Caregivers were also asked to rate communication and social interaction skills, which resulted in the ‘Social Composite’ score on a questionnaire called the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile™ Infant–Toddler (CSBS-DP-IT) checklist.
What were the results?After 12 weeks of treatment, girls and young women who received trofinetide had greater improvements in their symptoms than those who took the placebo, as rated by the RSBQ and CGI–I. Participants who took trofinetide could communicate better than participants who took the placebo as rated on the CSBS–DP–IT Social Composite scale. The differences between trofinetide and the placebo were statistically significant, which means that it was unlikely that the benefit seen with trofinetide was caused by chance. The most common side effects in the trofinetide group were diarrhea (frequent watery bowel movements) and vomiting, and in almost all cases these were mild or moderate.
What do the results of the study mean?In the LAVENDER study, trofinetide helped girls and young women with Rett syndrome by improving several important symptoms. This is the first study to show that a medicine, trofinetide, improves the symptoms of Rett syndrome.

description: New results for the double beta decay of 76Ge are presented. They are extracted from Data obtained with the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW, which operates five enriched 76Ge detectors in an extreme low-level environment in the GRAN SASSO. The two neutrino accompanied double beta decay is evaluated for the first time for all five detectors with a statistical significance of 47.7 kg y resulting in a half life of (T_(1/2))^(2nu) = [1.55 +- 0.01 (stat) (+0.19) (-0.15) (syst)] x 10^(21) years. The lower limit on the half-life of the 0nu beta-beta decay obtained with pulse shape analysis is (T_(1/2))^(0_nu) > 1.9 x 10^(25) [3.1 x 10^(25)] years with 90% C.L. (68% C.L.) (with 35.5 kg y). This results in an upper limit of the effective Majorana neutrino mass of 0.35 eV (0.27 eV). No evidence for a Majoron emitting decay mode or for the neutrinoless mode is observed.

description: We present a hydro-dynamical simulation at sub-parsec and few solar mass resolution of a merger between two gas-rich dwarf galaxies. Our simulation includes a detailed model for the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) and is able to follow the entire formation history of spatially resolved star clusters, including feedback from individual massive stars. Shortly after the merger we find a population of $\sim 900$ stellar clusters with masses above $10^{2.5}\; \rm{M_\odot}$ and a cluster mass function (CMF), which is well fitted with a power-law with a slope of $α=-1.70\pm0.08$. We describe here in detail the formation of the three most massive clusters (M$_{*} \gtrsim 10^5$ M$_\odot$), which populate the high-mass end of the CMF. The simulated clusters form rapidly on a timescale of $6$-$8$ Myr in converging flows of dense gas. The embedded merger phase has extremely high star formation rate surface densities of $Σ_\mathrm{SFR}>10\; \mathrm{M}_\odot\; \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\; \mathrm{kpc}^{-2}$ and thermal gas pressures in excess of $P_{\rm th}\sim10^7 \; \mathrm{k}_{\rm B}\;(\rm K\;\mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1}$. The formation process is terminated by rapid gas expulsion driven by the first generation of supernovae, after which the cluster centers relax and both their structure and kinematics become indistinguishable from observed local globular clusters. The simulation presented here provides a general model for the formation of metal-poor globular clusters in chemically unevolved starbursting environments of low-mass dwarf galaxies, which are common at high redshifts.

description: In this work, we use pQCD approach to calculate 20 $B_{(s)}\to D^*_{s0}(2317)P(V)$ two body decays by assuming $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ as a $\bar cs$ scalar meson, where $P(V)$ denotes a pseudoscalar (vector) meson. These $B_{(s)}$ decays can serve as an ideal platform to probe the valuable information on the inner structure of the charmed-strange meson $D^*_{s0}(2317)$, and to explore the dynamics of strong interactions and signals of new physics. These considered decays can be divided into two types: the CKM favored decays and the CKM suppressed decays. The former are induced by $b\to c$ transition, whose branching ratios are larger than $10^{-5}$. The branching fraction of the decay $\bar B^0_s\to D^{*+}_{s0}(2317)ρ^{-}$ is the largest and reaches about $1.8\times 10^{-3}$, while the branching ratios for the decay $\bar B^0_s\to D^{*+}_{s0}(2317)K^{*-}$ and other two pure annihilation decays $\bar B^0\to D^{*+}_{s0}(2317)K^-, D^{*+}_{s0}(2317)K^{*-}$ are only at $10^{-5}$ order. Our predictions are consistent well with the results given by the light cone sum rules approach. These decays are most likely to be measured at the running LHCb and the forthcoming SuperKEKB. The latter are induced by $b\to u$ transition, among of which the channel $\bar B^0\to D^{*-}(2317)ρ^+$ has the largest branching fraction, reaching up to $10^{-5}$ order. Again the pure annihilation decays $B^-\to D^{*-}_{s0}(2317)ϕ, \bar B^0\to D^{*-}_{s0}(2317)K^+(K^{*+}), B^-\to D^{*-}_{s0}(2317)K^0(K^{*0})$, have the smallest branching ratios, which drop to as low as $10^{-10}\sim10^{-8}$.

We use spectral function sum rules to derive bounds on total cross sections where the sum can be expresed in terms of a quantity which can be measured by Monte Carlo simulation in Euclidean space. We find that high multiplicity cross sections remain small for energies and multiplicities for which large effects had been suggested.

description: Aims: To describe the opinions of respondents to an online survey on desexing, microchipping and pet registration, and the management of cats, and aggressive dogs in New Zealand. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted online from 18–22 June 2015 using a permission-based panel of New Zealand residents aged ≥18 years. Questions included demographics of respondents, number of dogs and cats owned, and opinions on desexing, microchipping, pet registration, management of cats and aggressive dogs. Results: Of the 1,572 survey respondents, 216 (13.7%) owned ≥1 dog and ≥1 cat, 227 (14.4%) owned ≥1 dog and no cats, 480 (30.5%) owned ≥1 cat and no dogs, and 559 (35.6%) did not own any pets. The majority of dogs (456/613; 74.8%) and cats (974/1,045; 93.2%) were desexed. The most common reasons for not desexing pets were cost, feeling that it was not needed, or keeping the dog for breeding. Of the 613 dogs, 557 (90.9%) were registered with the local council, and 434 (71.0%) were microchipped, but only 290 (47.3%) were registered in the national database. Of the 1,045 cats, 326 (31.2%) were microchipped and 279/486 (57.4%) owners felt that it was unnecessary. Of the 1,572 respondents, 947 (60.2%) were unaware of stray cats in their local community, and 479 (30.5%) stated that local councils, or animal welfare organisations (546/1,572; 34.7%) should be responsible for managing strays. Among all 1,572 respondents, 787 (50.1%) thought stray cats should be assessed and subjected to euthanasia. Compared with non-pet owners, a lower percentage of cat owners agreed that cats should be confined (p Conclusions: The results highlight opportunities to improve owner compliance with desexing, microchipping and registration of dogs and cats. Opinions towards management of stray cat and aggressive dogs varied between pet owners and non-owners. Further research is needed to better understand how to engage the public in important dog and cat management policy issues.

Quantifying the Unitary Generation of Coherence From Thermal Quantum Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The unitary generation of coherence from an incoherent thermal state is investigated. We consider a completely controllable Hamiltonian allowing to generate all possible unitary transformations. Optimizing the unitary control to achieve maximum coherence leads to a micro-canonical energy distribution on the diagonal energy representation. We demonstrate such a control scenario starting from a Hamiltonian utilizing optimal control theory for unitary targets. Generating coherence from an incoherent initial state always costs external work. By constraining the amount of work invested by the control, maximum coherence leads to a canonical energy population distribution. When the optimization procedure constrains the final energy too tightly local suboptimal traps are found. The global optimum is obtained when a small Lagrange multiplier is employed to constrain the final energy. Finally, we explore constraining the generated coherence to be close to the diagonal in the energy representation.

description: Aims: To describe the demographics of and predictors for pet ownership, reasons for visiting a veterinarian, and pet-related expenditure in pet owners in New Zealand. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from 18–22 June 2015 using a permission-based panel of New Zealand residents aged ≥18 years. Questions included demographics of respondents, number of pets and reasons for owning or not owning pets, number of visits and reasons for visiting a veterinarian, and pet-related expenditure. Results: Of the 1,572 respondents who completed the survey, 1,013 (64.4%) owned ≥1 pet. Of these, 443 owned dogs, 696 cats, 32 horses, 103 birds, 55 rabbits, and 159 owned fish. Companionship was the most common reason for getting dogs, cats, and birds; horses were mostly owned as a hobby, rabbits to provide fun for children, and fish as a source of relaxation. The majority of dog, cat, and rabbit owners considered their pets to be family members; horse owners almost equally considered their horses a hobby or a family member. The odds of pet ownership increased for respondents from a rural region, having a higher household income, having children and being female. Overall, 711/1,013 (70.2%) pet-owning respondents had taken ≥1 animal to the veterinarian in the previous year, with the most common reasons being for vaccination or annual check-ups or health issues. Respondents who considered their pets trusted companions, had a higher income, and owned dogs or cats compared with other species, were most likely to have taken their pet to a veterinarian. The greatest pet-related expenditure for all species was food. The median yearly veterinary expenditure was $200–499 by dog owners, $100–199 by cat owners, and Conclusions: Among survey respondents, pet ownership was common and pets filled a variety of roles in the household. Pet owners reported spending considerable amounts of money on their pets each year, but some of them may be underutilising veterinary services despite veterinarians being considered as valuable sources of information about pet-related issues.

description: In 2014 the UK became one of the first countries to formally include computing in its National Curriculum Framework. The new Computing Curriculum had a broader focus, including fundamentals of computer science, computer programming and digital literacy in order to prepare young people for the digital economy and future digital world. This doctoral research focuses on the impact of the new computing curriculum on young people at Key Stage 3, particularly using three core themes of the computing curriculum: digital economy, digital literacy, computational thinking. The analysis used these core themes with thematic coding to answer the research question: To what extent do the young people subject to the English computing curriculum (as delivered at Key Stage 3) and their teachers, feel it prepares young people for a digital economy and the future digital world, specifically in terms of being digital literate and being able to think computationally? The research fieldwork was conducted across 3 secondary schools in the northwest of England and comprised of qualitative group interviews with 54 young people and extended individual interviews with 9 teachers. This research found that young people did not feel the computing curriculums was adequately preparing them for the digital economy – specifically they did not feel they were learning to be digitally literate and considered that computational thinking was something that people were either naturally good at or not. This thesis contributes to the field of Computing Education by being one of the few studies to use qualitative methods to understand young people’s experience of computing education.

Distances to Galactic OB-stars: Photometry vs. Parallax

description: For application to surveys of interstellar matter and Galactic structure, we compute new spectrophotometric distances to 139 OB stars frequently used as background targets for UV spectroscopy. Many of these stars have updated spectral types and digital photometry with reddening corrections from the Galactic O-Star (GOS) spectroscopic survey. We compare our new photometric distances to values used in previous IUE and FUSE surveys and to parallax distances derived from Gaia-DR2, after applying a standard (0.03 mas) offset from the quasar celestial reference frame. We find substantial differences between photometric and parallax distances (at d > 1.5 kpc) with increasing dispersion when parallax errors exceed 8%. Differences from previous surveys arise from new GOS stellar classifications, especially luminosity classes, and from reddening corrections. We apply our methods to two OB associations. For Perseus OB1 (nine O-stars) we find mean distances of $2.47\pm0.57$ kpc (Gaia parallax) and $2.99\pm0.14$ kpc (photometric) using a standard grid of absolute magnitudes (Bowen et al. 2008). For 29 O-stars in Car OB1 associated with Trumpler-16, Trumpler-14, Trumpler-15, and Collinder-228 star clusters, we find $2.87\pm0.73$ kpc (Gaia parallax) and $2.60\pm0.28$ kpc (photometric). Using an alternative grid of O-star absolute magnitudes (Martins et al. 2005) shifts these photometric distances 7% closer. Improving the distances to OB-stars will require attention to spectral types, photometry, reddening, binarity, and the grid of absolute magnitudes. We anticipate that future measurements in Gaia-DR3 will improve the precision of distances to massive star-forming regions in the Milky Way.

Unusual thermoelectric transport anisotropy in quasi-2D, rhombohedral GeTe

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: In this study, we calculate the $T$=300 K scattering and thermoelectric transport properties of rhombohedral GeTe using first-principles modeling. The room-temperature phase of GeTe has a layered structure, with cross-plane and in-plane directions oriented parallel and perpendicular to [111], respectively. Based on rigorous electron-phonon scattering, our transport calculations reveal unusual anisotropic properties; n-type GeTe has a cross-plane electrical conductivity that is roughly 3$\times$ larger than in-plane. p-type GeTe, however, displays opposite anisotropy with in-plane conducting roughly 2$\times$ more than cross-plane, as is expected in quasi-2D materials. The power factor shows the same anisotropy as the electrical conductivity, since the Seebeck coefficient is relatively isotropic. Interestingly, cross-plane n-GeTe shows the largest mobility and power factor approaching 500 cm$^2$/V-s and 32 $μ$W/cm-K$^2$, respectively. The thermoelectric figure-of-merit, $zT$, is enhanced as a result of this unusual anisotropy in n-GeTe since the lattice thermal conductivity is minimized along cross-plane. This decouples the preferred transport directions of electrons and phonons, leading to a threefold increase in $zT$ along cross-plane compared to in-plane. The n-type anisotropy results from high-velocity electron states formed by Ge p-orbitals that span across the interstitial region. This surprising behavior, that would allow the preferential conduction direction to be controlled by doping, could be observed in other quasi-2D materials and exploited to achieve higher-performance thermoelectrics.

description: In the light of the recent measurement of the muon anmalous magnetic moment $a_μ$ by the Muon $(g-2)$ Collaboration, we examine the contribution to $a_μ$ from the exchange of flavor changing scalars. Assuming that the heavier generations have larger flavor changing couplings, we obtain a bound on $μ- τ$ Yukawa coupling for a given scalar mass. Constraints on other flavor changing/conserving couplings are also obtained from the lepton flavor violating decays of muon and tau lepton, and bounds on the branching ratio of $τ\to 3 e$, $μ\to 3 e$ and $τ\to e μe$ processes are predicted.

description: The number and properties of observed gravitational microlensing events depend on the distribution and kinematics of stars and other compact objects along the line of sight. In particular, precise measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Galactic bulge enable strict tests of competing models of the Milky Way. Previous estimates, based on samples of up to a few hundred events, gave larger values than expected from the Galactic models and were difficult to reconcile with other constraints on the Galactic structure. Here we used long-term photometric observations of the Galactic bulge by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) to select a homogeneous sample of 8000 gravitational microlensing events. We created the largest and most accurate microlensing optical depth and event rate maps of the Galactic bulge. The new maps ease the tension between the previous measurements and Galactic models. They are consistent with some earlier calculations based on bright stars and are systematically ~30% smaller than the other estimates based on "all-source" samples of microlensing events. The difference is caused by the careful estimation of the source star population. The new maps agree well with predictions based on the Besancon model of the Galaxy. Apart from testing the Milky Way models, our maps may have numerous other applications, such as the measurement of the initial mass function or constraining the dark matter content in the Milky Way center. The new maps will also inform the planning of future space-based microlensing experiments by revising the expected number of events.

Invisible charginos and neutralinos from gauge boson fusion : a way to explore anomaly mediation ?

description: We point out that vector boson fusion (VBF) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can lead to useful signals for charginos and neutralinos in supersymmetric scenarios where these particles are almost invisible. The proposed signals are just two forward jets with missing transverse energy. It is shown that in this way one can put by far the strongest constraint on the parameter space of a theory with anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) at the LHC. In addition, scenarios where the lightest neutralinos and charginos are Higgsino-like can give signals of the above type.

Oscillating neutrinos and mu --> e, gamma

description: If neutrino masses and mixings are suitable to explain the atmospheric and solar neutrino fluxes, this amounts to contributions to FCNC processes, in particular mu --> e, gamma. If the theory is supersymmetric and the origin of the masses is a see-saw mechanism, we show that the prediction for BR(mu --> e, gamma) is in general larger than the experimental upper bound, especially if the largest Yukawa coupling is O(1) and the solar data are explained by a large angle MSW effect, which recent analyses suggest as the preferred scenario. Our analysis is bottom-up and completely general, i.e. it is based just on observable low-energy data. The work generalizes previous results of the literature, identifying the dominant contributions. Application of the results to scenarios with approximate top-neutrino unification, like SO(10) models, rules out most of them unless the leptonic Yukawa matrices satisfy very precise requirements. Other possible ways-out, like gauge mediated SUSY breaking, are also discussed.

description: We study mass ejection from accretion disks formed in the merger of a white dwarf with a neutron star or black hole. These disks are mostly radiatively-inefficient and support nuclear fusion reactions, with ensuing outflows and electromagnetic transients. Here we perform time-dependent, axisymmetric hydrodynamic simulations of these disks including a physical equation of state, viscous angular momentum transport, a coupled $19$-isotope nuclear network, and self-gravity. We find no detonations in any of the configurations studied. Our global models extend from the central object to radii much larger than the disk. We evolve these global models for several orbits, as well as alternate versions with an excised inner boundary to much longer times. We obtain robust outflows, with a broad velocity distribution in the range $10^2-10^4$ km s$^{-1}$. The outflow composition is mostly that of the initial white dwarf, with burning products mixed in at the $\lesssim 10-30\%$ level by mass, including up to $\sim 10^{-2}M_\odot$ of ${}^{56}$Ni. These heavier elements (plus ${}^{4}$He) are ejected within $\lesssim 40^\circ$ of the rotation axis, and should have higher average velocities than the lighter elements that make up the white dwarf. These results are in broad agreement with previous one- and two-dimensional studies, and point to these systems as progenitors of rapidly-rising ($\sim $ few day) transients. If accretion onto the central BH/NS powers a relativistic jet, these events could be accompanied by high energy transients with peak luminosities $\sim 10^{47}-10^{50}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and peak durations of up to several minutes, possibly accounting for events like CDF-S XT2.

What are the advantages of ghost imaging? Multiplexing for x-ray and electron imaging

description: Ghost imaging, Fourier transform spectroscopy, and the newly developed Hadamard transform crystallography are all examples of multiplexing measurement strategies. Multiplexed experiments are performed by measuring multiple points in space, time, or energy simultaneously. This contrasts to the usual method of systematically scanning single points. How do multiplexed measurements work and when they are advantageous? Here we address these questions with a focus on applications involving x-rays or electrons. We present a quantitative framework for analyzing the expected error and radiation dose of different measurement scheme that enables comparison. We conclude that in very specific situations, multiplexing can offer improvements in resolution and signal-to-noise. If the signal has a sparse representation, these advantages become more general and dramatic, and further less radiation can be used to complete a measurement.

description: At high energy, the photoproduction or electroproduction of Vector Mesons allow to prepare a beam of quark-antiquark pairs of a given flavor. At high momentum transfer, the study of the scattering of these pairs on a nucleon opens up an original window on the quark-gluon structure of hadronic matter, which may eventually shed light on its gluonic content, on correlations between quarks and on the van der Walls part of the interaction between hadrons.

description: This paper tests how certainty conveyed through language can be harnessed to enhance the effectiveness of health risk messages. We conducted experiments with low-income, adult smokers (n = 317) and middle schoolers (n = 321) on pictorial cigarette warning labels. We manipulated hypotheticality of risk through verb modality: present tense, may, can, and will. For adult smokers, present tense led to greater health risk beliefs, compared to hypothetical, among adult males but not females. For youth, contrary to what might seem intuitive, the hypothetical may verb was more effective than the present tense language in promoting health risk beliefs, which was associated with reduced susceptibility to use cigarettes. We discuss the findings in relation applications of construal level theory to health communication.

description: Incorporating three generations of right-handed Majorana neutrinos to quintessential inflation, we construct a model which simultaneously explains inflation, dark energy, dark matter and baryogenesis. These neutrinos have hierarchical masses $M_3 \sim 10^{13}$GeV, $M_2 \sim 10^{11}$GeV, $M_1 \sim 10$keV and are produced by gravitational particle production in the kination regime after inflation. The heaviest, the intermediate, and the lightest account for reheating, CP violation of leptogenesis, and dark matter, respectively. This model can be tested in various ways with forthcoming observations.
