description: We report on infrared studies of the c-axis electrodynamics of Tl-Ba-Cu-O (Tl-2201) crystals. A sum rule analysis reveals spectral weight shifts that can be interpreted as a kinetic energy change at the superconducting transistion. In optimally doped crystals, showing an incoherent normal state response, the kinetic energy is lowered at T < Tc, but no significant change is found in the over-doped samples, which have more coherent conductivity at T > Tc.

description: Using numerical simulations, we observe phase locking, Arnold tongues, and Devil's staircases for vortex lattices driven at varying angles with respect to an underlying superconducting periodic pinning array. This rich structure should be observalble in transport measurments. The transverse $V(I)$ curves have a Devil's staircase structure, with plateaus occurring near the driving angles along symmetry directions of the pinning array. Each of the plateaus corresponds to a different dyanmical phase with a distinctive vortex structure and flow pattern.

description: Temperature vs. chemical-potential phase diagrams of an SO(5) model for high-(T_c) cuprates are calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. There is a bicritical point where the second-order antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity transition lines merge tangentially into a first-order line, and the SO(5) symmetry is achieved. In an external magnetic field, the AF ordering is first order in the region where the first-order melting line of flux lattice joins in. There is a tricritical point on the AF transition line from which the AF ordering becomes second order.

Stripes, Carriers, and High Tc in the Cuprates
Creators: name: Ashkenazi, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Considering both "large-U" and "small-U" orbitals it is found that the high-Tc cuprates are characterized by a striped structure, and three types of carriers: polaron-like "stripons" carrying charge, "quasielectrons" carrying charge and spin, and "svivons" carrying spin and lattice distortion. It is shown that this electronic structure leads to the anomalous physical properties of the cuprates, and specifically the systematic behavior of the resistivity, Hall constant, and thermoelectric power. High-Tc pairing results from transitions between pair states of quasielectrons and stripons through the exchange of svivons. A pseudogap phase occurs when pairing takes place above the temperature where stripons become coherent, and this temperature determines the Uemura limit.

description: The next generation of gravitational wave detectors will improve the detection prospects for gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae. The complex astrophysics involved in core-collapse supernovae pose a significant challenge to modeling such phenomena. The Supernova Model Evidence Extractor (SMEE) attempts to capture the main features of gravitational wave signals from core-collapse supernovae by using numerical relativity waveforms to create approximate models. These models can then be used to perform Bayesian model selection to determine if the targeted astrophysical feature is present in the gravitational wave signal. In this paper, we extend SMEE's model selection capabilities to include features in the gravitational wave signal that are associated with g-modes and the standing accretion shock instability. For the first time, we test SMEE's performance using simulated data for planned future detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and LIGO Voyager. Further to this, we show how the performance of SMEE is improved by creating models from the spectrograms of supernova waveforms instead of their timeseries waveforms that contain stochastic features. In third generation detector configurations, we find that about 50% of neutrino-driven simulations were detectable at 100 kpc, and 10% at 275 kpc. The explosion mechanism was correctly determined for all detected signals.

description: ABSTRACT This article deals with the incorporation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into clinical trials and focuses on issues associated with the interpretation and reporting of PRO data. The primary focus and context of this information relates to the evidentiary support and reporting for a labeling or advertising claim of a PRO benefit for a new or approved pharmaceutical product. This manuscript focuses on issues associated with assessing clinical significance and common pitfalls to avoid in presenting results related to PROs. Specifically, the questions addressed by this manuscript involve: What are the best methods to assess clinical significance for PROs? How should investigators present PRO data most effectively in a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) application? In labeling or in a scientific publication? Guidelinesfor interpreting clinical significance of PROs and for comprehensively reporting on the methods, measures and results of clinical trials that incorporate PROs are important for clinicians, regulatory agencies, and most of all to patients. Clear specifications for considering a finding on a PRO measure, as clinically meaningful, need to be determined by instrument developers and psychometricians; they need to be reported for all clinical trials involving PRO end points. Clinical trial reports need to be comprehensive, clear, and sufficient to enable any reader to understand the methods, PRO measures, statistical analysis, and results.

description: Velocity distributions in a vibrated granular monolayer are investigated experimentally. Non-Gaussian velocity distributions are observed at low vibration amplitudes but cross over smoothly to Gaussian distributions as the amplitude is increased. Cross-correlations between fluctuations in density and temperature are present only when the velocity distributions are strongly non-Gaussian. Confining the expansion of the granular layer results in non-Gaussian velocity distributions that persist to high vibration amplitudes.

A phase diagram in the coupling constant - inverse system size plane is obtained. Comparison of the phase diagram with a Woomany-Wyld finite-size scaling leads to an identification of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in the quantum sine-Gordon model as the spontaneous symmetry breaking.

An Implementation of the Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mixture Trajectory Filter via Dual Decomposition

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018

description: This paper proposes an efficient implementation of the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) trajectory filter. The proposed implementation performs track-oriented N-scan pruning to limit complexity, and uses dual decomposition to solve the involved multi-frame assignment problem. In contrast to the existing PMBM filter for sets of targets, the PMBM trajectory filter is based on sets of trajectories which ensures that track continuity is formally maintained. The resulting filter is an efficient and scalable approximation to a Bayes optimal multi-target tracking algorithm, and its performance is compared, in a simulation study, to the PMBM target filter, and the delta generalized labelled multi-Bernoulli filter, in terms of state/trajectory estimation error and computational time.

description: We analyze electron-phonon correlation functions measured in 1D polaron ground states of the Holstein Hamiltonian using the Global-Local variational method. The spatial collapse of electron-phonon correlations is found to occur in concert with transition behavior in other polaron properties, providing mutually confirming evidence for a self-trapping line in 1D. The spatial extent of electron-phonon correlations is used to quantify polaron size, and is analyzed over a wide range of parameters. Distinct scaling behaviors are found to be characteristic of the region below the self-trapping transition and above it, contrary to some widely-held expectations and leading naturally to the notion of the polaron size as an order parameter for a self-trapping transition that becomes critical in the adiabatic limit.

description: AbstractObjectivesThe aims of this study were to estimate household demand in the general population of Thailand for a (hypothetical) preventive HIV vaccine; to determine whether spouses in the same household would purchase the same number of vaccines for household members and have the same demand function; to determine whether spouses would allocate vaccines to the same household members; and to estimate household and per capita average willingness to pay (WTP) for an HIV vaccine price.MethodsThe data come from a national contingent valuation survey of 2524 residents (aged 18–20 years) of 1235 households in Thailand during the period 2000 to 2001. In a subsample of 561 households, both head of household and spouse completed independent (separate) interviews. Respondents were asked whether they would purchase an HIV vaccine for themselves and for other household members if one were available at a specified price.ResultsFor the full sample, average household WTP for the vaccine was substantial (US$610 at 50% vaccine effectiveness, US$671 at 95% effectiveness); the average per capita WTP for household members was US$220 at 50% effectiveness and US$242 at 95% effectiveness. Although spouses reported that they would purchase the same total number of vaccines, and had essentially the same demand functions, at lower vaccine prices wives were significantly more likely than husbands to allocate vaccines to their daughters than to sons.ConclusionsBecause wives are more likely to allocate vaccines to daughters, vaccination programs aimed at women and girls might have different outcomes than programs directed at males or at all potential adults without regard to sex.

description: X-ray magnetic critical scattering measurements and specific heat measurements were performed on the perovskite iridate Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$. We find that the magnetic interactions close to the Néel temperature $T_N$ = 283.4(2) K are three-dimensional. This contrasts with previous studies which suggest two-dimensional behaviour like Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. Violation of the Harris criterion ($dν>2$) means that weak disorder becomes relevant. This leads a rounding of the antiferromagnetic phase transition at $T_N$, and modifies the critical exponents relative to the clean system. Specifically, we determine that the critical behaviour of Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$ is representative of the diluted 3D Ising universality class.

description: In the vicinity of hole density, 1/8, La-based high-$T_{c}$ superconductors exhibit long-range order of incommensurate antiferromagnetism (IC-AF). Motivated by this observation, we explore the possible stabilization of IC-AF ordering due to the existence of static charge density modulation (CDM). We use Ginzburg-Landau free energy based on the mean field theory of the t-J model. It is shown numerically that three kinds of CDM including a stripe pattern can stabilize static IC-AF ordering. We also argue that such CDMs can cause the saturation of the degree of incommensurability ($η$) as a function of hole density for IC-AF fluctuation. In our framework a principal effect of low-temperature tetragonal (LTT) structure is just to increase $η$ of IC-AF slightly larger only for the stripe pattern.

description: A procedure is developed and tested to recover the distribution of connectivity of an a priori unknown network, by sampling the dynamics of an ensemble made of reactive walkers. The relative weight between reaction and relocation is gauged by a scalar control parameter, which can be adjusted at will. Different equilibria are attained by the system, following the externally imposed modulation, and reflecting the interplay between reaction and diffusion terms. The information gathered on the observation node is used to predict the stationary density as displayed by the system, via a direct implementation of the celebrated Heterogeneous Mean Field (HMF) approximation. This knowledge translates into a linear problem which can be solved to return the entries of the sought distribution. A variant of the model is then considered which consists in assuming a localized source where the reactive constituents are injected, at a rate that can be adjusted as a stepwise function of time. The linear problem obtained when operating in this setting allows one to recover a fair estimate of the underlying system size. Numerical experiments are carried so as to challenge the predictive ability of the theory.
Detection of Characteristic Points and T-Wave Alternans in ECG
Creators: name: Sieed, Jubair
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2009

description: Electrocardiogram (ECG) has been treated as one of the simplest non-invasive techniques for primary detection of cardiac abnormalities over hundred years. Its characteristic points and waves contain important information about the electrical activities of the heart. So, proper detection of the ECG characteristic points,waves and their corresponding duration is of vast importance. We present an algorithm based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) for automatically locatingthe waveform boundaries (the onsets and o®sets of P, QRS and T waves) in generalized single lead ECG signals. Examples of detection of ¯ducial points and acomparison with the threshold-based detector are presented for the assessment of the performance of our algorithm.An important application of detecting the ECG fiducial points can be found in microvolt T-Wave Alternans (TWA). It is considered as an indicator of suddencardiac death (SCD) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). A fully automated algorithm has been advised for detecting and quantifying TWA from multilead ECGsignals. The algorithm is tested on a wide variety of test signals and it outperforms all other currently available techniques.
Scaling and infrared divergences in the replica field theory of the Ising spin glass

description: Replica field theory for the Ising spin glass in zero magnetic field is studied around the upper critical dimension d=6. A scaling theory of the spin glass phase, based on Parisi's ultrametrically organised order parameter, is proposed. We argue that this infinite step replica symmetry broken (RSB) phase is nonperturbative in the sense that amplitudes of scaling forms cannot be expanded in term of the coupling constant w^2. Infrared divergent integrals inevitably appear when we try to compute amplitudes perturbatively, nevertheless the ε-expansion of critical exponents seems to be well-behaved. The origin of these problems can be traced back to the unusual behaviour of the free propagator having two mass scales, the smaller one being proportional to the perturbation parameter w^2 and providing a natural infrared cutoff. Keeping the free propagator unexpanded makes it possible to avoid producing infrared divergent integrals. The role of Ward-identities and the problem of the lower critical dimension are also discussed.

description: Abstract Objectives To describe the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) implications of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in a national sample of postmenopausal women ages 30–70. Methods The Nationwide Survey of Female Sexual Health, a random-digit telephone survey of US households, collected information on female sexual function, demographic characteristics, HRQOL, and the presence of specific medical disorders from 1189 naturally or surgically postmenopausal women in stable relationships of ≥3 months duration. HSDD was defined as Results HSDD was associated with significant HRQOL decrements, with the largest SF-12 score differences in mental health (HSDD: 45.4 [standard error 1.9] vs. no HSDD: 51.0 [0.6], P < 0.01), vitality (HSDD: 47.7 [1.3] vs. no HSDD: 52.0 [0.7], P < 0.01), social function (HSDD: 47.3 [1.4] vs. no HSDD: 50.9 [0.7], P < 0.05), and bodily pain (HSDD: 41.4 [2.2] vs. no HSDD: 46.7 [0.9], P < 0.05). EQ-5D index was 0.08 points lower (HSDD: 0.76 [0.03] vs. no HSDD: 0.84 [0.02], P < 0.05) for those with HSDD compared with those without. HSDD was associated with a 0.1-point decrement in naturally menopausal women (HSDD: 0.78 [0.03] vs. no HSDD 0.88 [0.01], P < 0.01). Women with HSDD showed more HRQOL impairment than healthy population norms but were similar to adults with other chronic conditions such as diabetes and back pain. Conclusions Women with HSDD showed substantial impairment in HRQOL. Given a prevalence of 6.6% to 12.5% among US women, HSDD represents an important burden on quality of life.

description: A study was conducted to compare two methods for analysis of functional groups in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) generated in the laboratory and organic aerosol collected in the Southeastern Oxidants and Aerosol Study (SOAS). Although not as widely used as molecular and elemental analysis, functional group analysis of filter samples provides chemically specific information that can be used to characterize organic aerosol sources, mechanisms of formation, and physical-chemical properties. Here, we compared measurements made using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the most widely used method of functional group analysis, with those made using derivatization-spectrophotometric methods. When used to analyze SOA generated from a series of environmental chamber reactions, the methods agreed quite well when results were assigned to four groups: (1) functional groups that contain an O–H bond; (2) non-acid functional groups containing a C = O moiety; (3) organonitrate groups; and (4) alkane groups. Overall, the agreement between the two methods indicates that either is adequate for measuring the functional group composition of SOA. While the derivitization-spectrophotometric methods offer more specificity, they also require more time and aerosol mass for sample analysis than the FTIR methods. It was also shown that functional group signatures obtained from SOA generated in environmental chambers can potentially be used to gain insight into oxidation and particle-phase reactions responsible for SOA formation in field samples.

description: This paper highlights the analytical modeling made to show the viability of applying capillary biphasic devices inside an aircraft powerplant, focused on using this technology as an anti-icing system for an engine intake, with cooling oil as heat source. The model was developed replicating the intended thermal environment to explore the possibility of using them in aeronautical applications with variable operating conditions. First conclusion is that applying this technology in powerplant environment is viable. Also, a comparison between device architectures is made, concluding that CPL\'s architecture is more appropriate than LHP\'s due to possibility of independent regulation.

description: In the framework of spin-0 $s$-channel dark matter (DM) simplified models, we reassess the sensitivity of future LHC runs to the production of DM in association with top quarks. We consider two different missing transverse energy ($E_T^{\mathrm{miss}}$) signatures, namely production of DM in association with either a $t \bar t$ pair or a top quark and a $W$ boson, where the latter channel has not been the focus of a dedicated analysis prior to this work. Final states with two leptons are studied and a realistic analysis strategy is developed that simultaneously takes into account both channels. Compared to other existing search strategies the proposed combination of $t \bar t + E_T^{\mathrm{miss}}$ and $t W + E_T^{\mathrm{miss}}$ production provides a significantly improved coverage of the parameter space of spin-0 $s$-channel DM simplified models.

description: Clopidogrel’s effectiveness is likely reduced significantly for prevention of thrombotic events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients exhibiting a decreased ability to metabolize clopidogrel into its active form. A genetic mutation responsible for this reduced effectiveness is detectable by genotyping. Ticagrelor is not dependent on gene-based metabolic activation and demonstrated greater clinical efficacy than clopidogrel in a recent secondary prevention trial. In 2011, clopidogrel will lose its patent protection and likely will be substantially less expensive than ticagrelor.

description: AbstractBackgroundPersonalized medicine technologies can improve individual health by delivering the right dose of the right drug to the right patient at the right time but create challenges in deciding which technologies offer sufficient value to justify widespread diffusion. Personalized medicine technologies, however, do not neatly fit into existing health technology assessment and reimbursement processes.ObjectivesIn this article, the Personalized Medicine Special Interest Group of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research evaluated key development and reimbursement considerations from the payer and manufacturer perspectives.MethodsFive key areas in which health economics and outcomes research best practices could be developed to improve value assessment, reimbursement, and patient access decisions for personalized medicine have been identified.ResultsThese areas are as follows: 1 research prioritization and early value assessment, 2 best practices for clinical evidence development, 3 best practices for health economic assessment, 4 addressing health technology assessment challenges, and 5 new incentive and reimbursement approaches for personalized medicine.ConclusionsKey gaps in health economics and outcomes research best practices, decision standards, and value assessment processes are also discussed, along with next steps for evolving health economics and outcomes research practices in personalized medicine.

description: The low temperature longitudinal resistance-per-square Rxx(T) in ungated GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells of high peak hole mobility 1.7x10^6 cm^2/Vs is metallic for 2D hole density p as low as 3.8x10^9 cm-2. The electronic contribution to the resistance, R_{el}(T), is a nonmonotonic function of T, exhibiting thermal activation, R_{el}(T) ~ exp{-E_a/kT}, for kT<EF. The form of R_{el}(T) is independent of density, indicating a fundamental relationship between the low and high T scattering mechanisms in the metallic state.

description: We improve the bound state approach of the Skyrme model applied to the heavy baryons by adopting a static heavy meson picture where the soliton moves around the fixed heavy meson. This allows to take into account the center of mass corrections in a more consistent way. The bound state masses so obtained are comparable to the experimentally observed $Λ_c$ and $Λ_c^*$ masses. A loosely bound state of a soliton with an antiflavored heavy meson is found, which leaves a possibility of the nonstrange pentaquark baryon(s).

description: AbstractThe objective of this report was to address the use and mixing of data collection modes within and between trials in which patient-reported outcome (PRO) end points are intended to be used to support medical product labeling. The report first addresses the factors that should be considered when selecting a mode or modes of PRO data collection in a clinical trial, which is often when mixing is first considered. Next, a summary of how to "faithfully" migrate instruments is presented followed by a section on qualitative and quantitative study designs used to evaluate measurement equivalence of the new and original modes of data collection. Finally, the report discusses a number of issues that must be taken into account when mixing modes is deemed necessary or unavoidable within or between trials, including considerations of the risk of mixing at different levels within a clinical trial program and mixing between different types of platforms. In the absence of documented evidence of measurement equivalence, it is strongly recommended that a quantitative equivalence study be conducted before mixing modes in a trial to ensure that sufficient equivalence can be demonstrated to have confidence in pooling PRO data collected by the different modes. However, we also strongly discourage the mixing of paper and electronic field-based instruments and suggest that mixing of electronic modes be considered for clinical trials and only after equivalence has been established. If proceeding with mixing modes, it is important to implement data collection carefully in the trial itself in a planned manner at the country level or higher and minimize ad hoc mixing by sites or individual subjects. Finally, when mixing occurs, it must be addressed in the statistical analysis plan for the trial and the ability to pool the data must be evaluated to then evaluate treatment effects with mixed modes data. A successful mixed modes trial requires a "faithful migration," measurement equivalence established between modes, and carefully planned implementation to minimize the risk of increased measurement error impacting the power of the trial to detect a treatment effect.
Wave Scattering through Classically Chaotic Cavities in the Presence of Absorption: An Information-Theoretic Model

description: We propose an information-theoretic model for the transport of waves through a chaotic cavity in the presence of absorption. The entropy of the S-matrix statistical distribution is maximized, with the constraint $ =αn$: n is the dimensionality of S, and $0\leq α\leq 1, α=0(1)$ meaning complete (no) absorption. For strong absorption our result agrees with a number of analytical calculations already given in the literature. In that limit, the distribution of the individual (angular) transmission and reflection coefficients becomes exponential -Rayleigh statistics- even for n=1. For $n\gg 1$ Rayleigh statistics is attained even with no absorption; here we extend the study to $α<1$. The model is compared with random-matrix-theory numerical simulations: it describes the problem very well for strong absorption, but fails for moderate and weak absorptions. Thus, in the latter regime, some important physical constraint is missing in the construction of the model.

description: We have reevaluated the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2) and to the running of the QED fine structure constant alpha(s) at s=M_Z**2. We incorporated new data from hadronic tau decays, recently published by the ALEPH Collaboration. In addition, compared to previous analyses, we use more extensive e+e- annihilation data sets. The integration over the total hadronic cross section is performed using experimental data up to 40 GeV and results from perturbative QCD above 40 GeV. The improvement from tau data concerns mainly the pion form factor, where the uncertainty in the corresponding integral could be reduced by more than a factor of two. We obtain for the lowest order hadronic vacuum polarization graph a_mu(had) = (695.0 +/- 15.0) x 10^{-10} and delta(alpha(M_Z**2))(had) = (280.9 +/- 6.3) x 10^{-4} using e+e- data only. The corresponding results for combined e+e- and tau data are a_mu(had) = (701.1 +/- 9.4) x 10^{-10} and delta(alpha(M_Z**2))(had) = (281.7 +/- 6.2) x 10^{-4}, where the latter is calculated using the contribution from the five lightest quarks.
