description: Despite the significant progress made in recent years in the management of gout, it remains suboptimal. This could be explained mainly by the presence of significant gaps in knowledge about gout in patients, society and health professionals. Therapeutic education of patients with gout has been shown to improve adherence and self-management of the disease. Thus, ETP is explicitly recommended in gout. In order to be more successful in gout, it is necessary to adopt an interactive and patient-centered approach with simplified and adapted tools. It is very important to develop ETP in gout, a chronic and curable condition, to help patients cope better with their disease and to avoid the complications of poor adherence to their management.
description: Malgré les progrès notables réalisés ces dernières années dans la prise en charge de la goutte, celle-ci reste sous-optimale. Ceci pourrait être expliqué essentiellement par la présence de lacunes importantes dans les connaissances sur la goutte aussi bien chez les patients et la société que les professionnels de la santé. Il a été démontré que l’éducation thérapeutique des patients souffrant de goutte améliorerait l’observance thérapeutique et l’autogestion de la maladie. Ainsi, l’ETP est explicitement recommandée dans la goutte par les sociétés savantes. Pour mieux réussir l’ETP dans la goutte, il est nécessaire d’adopter une approche interactive et centrée sur le patient avec des outils simplifiés et adaptés. Il est très important de développer l’ETP dans la goutte, maladie chronique curable, pour aider le patient à mieux vivre avec sa maladie et éviter les complications liées à une mauvaise adhérence à sa prise en charge.

description: Superconducting quantum information processing machines are predominantly based on microwave circuits with relatively low characteristic impedance, of about 100 Ohm, and small anharmonicity, which can limit their coherence and logic gate fidelity. A promising alternative are circuits based on so-called superinductors, with characteristic impedances exceeding the resistance quantum $R_Q = 6.4$ k$Ω$. However, previous implementations of superinductors, consisting of mesoscopic Josephson junction arrays, can introduce unintended nonlinearity or parasitic resonant modes in the qubit vicinity, degrading its coherence. Here we present a fluxonium qubit design using a granular aluminum (grAl) superinductor strip. Granular aluminum is a particularly attractive material, as it self-assembles into an effective junction array with a remarkably high kinetic inductance, and its fabrication can be in-situ integrated with standard aluminum circuit processing. The measured qubit coherence time $T_2^R$ up to 30 $μ$s illustrates the potential of grAl for applications ranging from protected qubit designs to quantum limited amplifiers and detectors.

description: We calculate the forward spin-dependent photon-nucleon Compton amplitude as a function of photon energy at the next-to-leading (${\cal O}(p^4)$) order in chiral perturbation theory, from which we extract the contribution to nucleon spin polarizability. The result shows a large correction to the leading order contribution.

description: The large N limit of D3-branes is expected to correspond to a superconformal field theory living on the boundary of the anti-de Sitter space appearing in the near-horizon geometry. Dualizing the D3-brane to a D-instanton, we show that this limit is equivalent to a type IIB S-duality. In both cases one effectively reaches the near-horizon geometry. This provides an alternative approach to an earlier derivation of the same result that makes use of the properties of a gravitational wave instead of the D-instanton.

description: This paper presents a motion-coupled mapping algorithm for contour mapping of hybrid rice canopies, specifically designed for Agricultural Unmanned Ground Vehicles (Agri-UGV) navigating complex and unknown rice fields. Precise canopy mapping is essential for Agri-UGVs to plan efficient routes and avoid protected zones. The motion control of Agri-UGVs, tasked with impurity removal and other operations, depends heavily on accurate estimation of rice canopy height and structure. To achieve this, the proposed algorithm integrates real-time RGB-D sensor data with kinematic and inertial measurements, enabling efficient mapping and proprioceptive localization. The algorithm produces grid-based elevation maps that reflect the probabilistic distribution of canopy contours, accounting for motion-induced uncertainties. It is implemented on a high-clearance Agri-UGV platform and tested in various environments, including both controlled and dynamic rice field settings. This approach significantly enhances the mapping accuracy and operational reliability of Agri-UGVs, contributing to more efficient autonomous agricultural operations.

description: The temperature dependence of the local structure of PbSe has been investigated using pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of x-ray and neutron powder diffraction data and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Observation of non-Gaussian PDF peaks at high temperature indicates the presence of significant anharmonicity, which can be modeled as Pb off-centering along [100] directions that grows on warming similar to the behavior seen in PbTe and PbS and sometimes called emphanisis. Interestingly, the emphanitic response is smaller in PbSe than in both PbS and PbTe indicating a non-monotonic response with chalcogen atomic number in the PbQ (Q=S, Se, Te) series. The DFT calculations indicate a correlation between band gap and the amplitude of [100] dipolar distortion, suggesting that emphanisis may be behind the anomalous composition and temperature dependencies of the band gaps in this series.

Neutrinoless double beta decay in four-neutrino models

description: The most stringent constraint on the so-called effective electron neutrino mass from the present neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is |M_{ee}| < 0.2 eV, while the planned next generation experiment GENIUS is anticipated to reach a considerably more stringent limit |M_{ee}|< 0.001 eV. We investigate the constraints these bounds set on the neutrino masses and mixings of neutrinos in four-neutrino models where there exists a sterile neutrino along with the three ordinary neutrinos. We find that the GENIUS experiment would be sensitive to the electron neutrino masses down to the limit m_{ν_e}\lsim 0.024 eV in such a scenario.

description: The origin of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) is not yet clear. One possible formation path of UCDs is the threshing of a nucleated elliptical dwarf galaxy (dE, N), however, it remains unclear how such massive nuclear stellar systems were formed in dwarf galaxies. To better establish the early history of UCDs, we investigate the formation of UCD progenitor clusters from super giant molecular clouds (SGMCs), using hydrodynamical simulations. In this study we focus on SGMCs with masses $10^{7} - 10^{8} \rm M_{\odot}$ that can form massive star clusters that display physical properties similar to UCDs. We find that the clusters have extended star formation histories with two phases, producing multiple distinct stellar populations, and that the star formation rate is dependent on the feedback effects of SNe and AGB stars. The later generations of stars formed in these clusters are more compact, leading to a clearly nested structure, and these stars will be more He-rich than those of the first generation, leading to a slight colour gradient. The simulated clusters demonstrate scaling relations between $R_{\rm eff}$ and $M$ and $σ_{v}$ and $M$ consistent with those observed in UCDs and strongly consistent with those of the original SGMC. We discuss whether SGMCs such as these can be formed through merging of self-gravitating molecular clouds in galaxies at high-z.

description: Poor medication adherence may increase rates of loss to follow-up, disease relapse and drug resistance for individuals with active tuberculosis (TB). While TB programmes have historically used directly observed therapy (DOT) to address adherence, concerns have been raised about the patient burden, ethical limitations, effectiveness in improving treatment outcomes and long-term feasibility of DOT for health systems. Digital adherence technologies (DATs)-which include feature phone-based and smartphone-based technologies, digital pillboxes and ingestible sensors-may facilitate more patient-centric approaches for monitoring adherence, though available data are limited. Depending on the specific technology, DATs may help to remind patients to take their medications, facilitate digital observation of pill-taking, compile dosing histories and triage patients based on their level of adherence, which can facilitate provision of individualised care by TB programmes to patients with varied levels of risk. Research is needed to understand whether DATs are acceptable to patients and healthcare providers, accurate for measuring adherence, effective in improving treatment outcomes and impactful in improving health system efficiency. In this article, we describe the landscape of DATs that are being used in research or clinical practice by TB programmes and highlight priorities for research

description: We use a high-accuracy computational code to investigate the precision with which cosmological parameters could be reconstructed by future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, in particular the two satellite missions MAP and Planck Surveyor (COBRAS/SAMBA). We identify several parameter combinations that could be determined with a few percent accuracy with MAP and the Planck Surveyor, as well as some degeneracies among the parameters that cannot be accurately resolved with the temperature data alone. These degeneracies can be broken by other astronomical measurements. Polarization measurments can significantly enhance the science return of both missions by allowing accurate determination of cosmological parameters, by enabling the detection of gravity waves and by probing the ionization history of the universe. We also address the question of how gaussian the likelihood function is around the maximum and whether gravitational lensing changes the constraints.

description: We establish the most general parametrization of the new physics tested by present precision measurements and possibly responsible for any deviation of the $Z\to b \bar b $ amplitude from its Standard Model result, under the assumption that it is CP symmetric and is induced by degrees of freedom which are too heavy to be ~directly produced at the future Colliders. This is achieved by writing the complete list of the $SU(3)_c\times SU(2) \times U(1) $ gauge invariant and CP symmetric $dim=6$ operators, involving only quarks of the third family and/or bosons. The quark ~containing operators are divided into two classes, according to whether they involve the $t_R$ field or not. Each class contains 14 quark operators. We then proceed to derive the constraints from present precision measurements, on the first class of the 14 $t_R$ involving operators. We show that the $Zb \bar b$ vertex plays a fundamental role to discriminate not only between these operators, but also between this whole scheme and an alternative one like \eg\@ an MSSM description with light chargino and neutral Higgs.

description: Several arguments are given for the summability of the superstring perturbation series. Whereas the Schottky group coordinatization of moduli space may be used to provide refined estimates of large-order bosonic string amplitudes, the super-Schottky group variables define a measure for the supermoduli space integral which leads to upper bounds on superstring scattering amplitudes.

The AGL Equation from the Dipole Picture

description: The AGL equation includes all multiple pomeron exchanges in the double logarithmic approximation (DLA) limit, leading to an unitarized gluon distribution in the small x regime. This equation was originally obtained using the Glauber-Mueller approach. We demonstrate in this paper that the AGL equation and, consequently, the GLR equation, can also be obtained from the dipole picture in the double logarithmic limit, using an evolution equation, recently proposed, which includes all multiple pomeron exchanges in the leading logarithmic approximation. Our conclusion is that the AGL equation is a good candidate for an unitarized evolution equation at small x in the DLA limit.

description: This study considers the task of machine reading at scale (MRS) wherein, given a question, a system first performs the information retrieval (IR) task of finding relevant passages in a knowledge source and then carries out the reading comprehension (RC) task of extracting an answer span from the passages. Previous MRS studies, in which the IR component was trained without considering answer spans, struggled to accurately find a small number of relevant passages from a large set of passages. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective approach that incorporates the IR and RC tasks by using supervised multi-task learning in order that the IR component can be trained by considering answer spans. Experimental results on the standard benchmark, answering SQuAD questions using the full Wikipedia as the knowledge source, showed that our model achieved state-of-the-art performance. Moreover, we thoroughly evaluated the individual contributions of our model components with our new Japanese dataset and SQuAD. The results showed significant improvements in the IR task and provided a new perspective on IR for RC: it is effective to teach which part of the passage answers the question rather than to give only a relevance score to the whole passage.

To this end, we modify the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura scheme for the resummation of soft photon corrections and its systematic improvement with fixed-order calculations, to also include the effect of virtual corrections due to the ex- change of weak gauge bosons. We detail relevant technical aspects of our implementation and present numerical results for observables relevant for high-precision Drell-Yan and Higgs boson production and decay simula- tions at the LHC.

Constraints on the Redshift and Luminosity Distributions of Gamma Ray Bursts in an Einstein-de Sitter Universe
Creators: name: Reichart, Daniel E.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Two models of the gamma ray burst population, one with a standard candle luminosity and one with a power law luminosity distribution, are chi^2-fitted to the union of two data sets: the differential number versus peak flux distribution of BATSE's long duration bursts, and the time dilation and energy shifting versus peak flux information of pulse duration time dilation factors, interpulse duration time dilation factors, and peak energy shifting factors. The differential peak flux distribution is corrected for threshold effects at low peak fluxes and at short burst durations, and the pulse duration time dilation factors are also corrected for energy stretching and similar effects. Within an Einstein-de Sitter cosmology, we place strong bounds on the evolution of the bursts, and these bounds are incompatible with a homogeneous population, assuming a power law spectrum and no luminosity evolution. Additionally, under the implied conditions of moderate evolution, the 90% width of the observed luminosity distribution is shown to be < 10^2, which is less constrained than others have demonstrated it to be assuming no evolution. Finally, redshift considerations indicate that if the redshifts of BATSE's faintest bursts are to be compatible with that which is currently known for galaxies, a standard candle luminosity is unacceptable, and in the case of the power law luminosity distribution, a mean luminosity < 10^57 ph s^-1 is favored.

description: We analyze the phase diagram in effective chiral quark models (the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, the sigma-model with quarks) and show that at the mean-field level a phase with a periodically-modulated chiral fields separates the usual phases with broken and restored chiral symmetry. A possible signal of such a phase is the production of multipion jets travelling in opposite directions, with individual pions having momenta of the order of several hundred MeV. This signal can be interpreted in terms of disoriented chiral condensates.

description: Mit der Gesetzesrevision vom 01. Januar 2013 wurden die professionellen Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzbehörden (KESB) eingeführt, welche das kommunale Laiensystem der Vormundschaftsbehörden (VB) abgelöst haben. Seither sind die neu geschaffenen Behörden, insbesondere in den Medien, wiederholt und stark in Kritik geraten. Primäres Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, einen Forschungsbeitrag zur Darstellung der KESB in der Öffentlichkeit zu leisten und diese mit der Darstellung der einstigen Vormundschaftsbehörden zu vergleichen. Dazu werden in einer Vorerhebung durch qualitative Inhaltsanalyse Kriterien entwickelt, welche spezifisch auf die Berichterstattung von entscheidungsbefugten Behörden im zivilrechtlichen Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutz abgestimmt sind. Auf dieser Grundlage folgt eine quantitative Inhaltsanalyse, welche eine Vollerhebung von zwei deutschschweizerischen Tageszeitungen und eine Teilerhebung einer Gratiszeitung umfasst. Eine Frequenzanalyse zeigt auf, dass die Berichterstattung zu KESB ab dem Jahr 2015 in der Deutschschweiz massiv angestiegen ist. Die Kindstötung von Flaach Anfang Jahr 2015 allein vermag diese Entwicklung nicht zu erklären, in der Untersuchung konnten weitere Einflussfaktoren identifiziert werden. Über den Untersuchungszeitraum von 10 Jahren hinweg ist am häufigsten über Themen des zivilrechtlichen Kindesschutzes berichtet worden. Themen des Erwachsenenschutzes sowie rechtliche Bezüge haben in der Berichterstattung eine untergeordnete Rolle gespielt. In der Berichterstattung zu entscheidungsbefugten Behörden des zivilrechtlichen Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzes werden häufig die Emotionen Ärger, Machtlosigkeit und Empörung vermittelt. Medienmitteilungen durch Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzbehörden sind am Vorbild anderer staatlichen Organisationen zu gestalten und dienen der öffentlichen Vertrauensbildung.

description: We report on measurements of the oxygen isotope ($^{16}$O/$^{18}$O) effect (OIE) on the transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ and the zero-temperature in-plane magnetic penetration depth $λ_{\rm ab}(0)$ in the stoichiometric cuprate superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ by means of muon-spin rotation/relaxation. An analysis of the temperature evolution of $λ^{-2}_{\rm ab}$ in terms of coexisting $s+d-$wave order parameters reveals that the OIE on the superfluid density $ρ_{\rm s}(0)\proptoλ^{-2}_{\rm ab}(0)$ stems predominantly from the $d-$wave component while the contribution of the $s-$wave one is almost zero. The OIE on the transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ is found to be rather small: $δT_{\rm c}/T_{\rm c}= -0.32(7)$%, compared to the total OIE on the superfluid density $ρ_{\rm s}(0)$: $δρ_{\rm s}(0)/ρ_{\rm s}(0)= -2.8(1.0)$%. The partial OIE's on the corresponding $d-$wave and $s-$wave components of $ρ_{\rm s}(0)$ are $δρ_{\rm s,d}(0)/ρ_{\rm s}(0)= -3.0(1.2)$%, and $δρ_{\rm s,s}(0)/ρ_{\rm s}(0)= 0.2(1.2)$%, respectively. Our results demonstrate that polaron formation in the CuO$_2$ planes is the origin of the observed OIE in the $d-$wave channel. In the much weaker $s-$wave channel, fermionic quasiparticles are present, which do not contribute to the OIE on $ρ_{\rm s}(0)$. Our results support the original idea of K. Alex Müller on the polaronic nature of the supercarries in high-temperature cuprate superconductors.

If confirmed, the planet candidate would have a minimum mass of 7.2 M$_{J}$ and a period of 747 days. However, we also find that the FWHM of the CCF varies with a period close to the RV, casting doubts on the planetary nature of the signal. We also provide refined parameters for the previously discovered planet around NGC2423 No. 3 but show evidence that the BIS of the CCF is correlated with the RV during some of the observing periods. This fact advises us that this might not be a real planet and that the RV variations could be caused by stellar activity and/or pulsations. Finally, we show that the previously reported signal by a brown dwarf around NGC4349 No. 127 is presumably produced by stellar activity modulation. The long-term monitoring of several red giants in open clusters has allowed us to find periodic RV variations in several stars. However, we also show that the follow-up of this kind of stars should last more than one orbital period to detect long-term signals of stellar origin. This work warns that although it is possible to detect planets around red giants, large-amplitude, long-period RV modulations do exist in such stars that can mimic the presence of an orbiting planetary body. Therefore, we need to better understand how such RV modulations behave as stars evolve along the RGB and perform a detailed study of all the possible stellar-induced signals (e.g. spots, pulsations, granulation) to comprehend the origin of RV variations.

description: Considering the mass, parity and $D^0 p$ decay mode, we tentatively assign the $Λ_c(2940)$ as the $P-$wave states with one radial excitation. Then, via studying the strong decay behavior of the $Λ_c(2940)$ within the $^3P_0$ model, we obtain that the total decay widths of the $Λ_{c1}(\frac{1}{2}^-,2P)$ and $Λ_{c1}(\frac{3}{2}^-,2P)$ states are 16.27 MeV and 25.39 MeV, respectively. Compared with the experimental total width $27.7^{+8.2}_{-6.0}\pm0.9^{+5.2}_{-10.4}~\rm{MeV}$ measured by LHCb Collaboration, both assignments are allowed, and the $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ assignment is more favorable. Other $λ-$mode $Σ_c(2P)$ states are also investigated, which are most likely to be narrow states and have good potential to be observed in future experiments.

description: We present an alternative but intuitive method of obtaining the true or intrinsic quasar luminosity function through the observed one in the framework of gravitational lensing. Such a so-called inversion of the magnification bias can be straightforwardly performed by means of the Mellin transformation instead of other complex methods. Application of our approach to the well-known form of the observed quasar luminosity function identifies the previous results in literature.

description: We demonstrate backward-directed continuous-wave (cw) emission at 2.21 μm generated on the 4P3/2-4S1/2 population-inverted transition in Na vapors two-photon excited with resonant laser light at 589 and 569 nm. Our study of power and atom-number-density threshold characteristics shows that lasing occurs at sub-10 mW total power of the applied laser light. The observed 6 mrad divergence is defined mainly by the aspect ratio of the gain region. We find that mirrorless lasing at 2.21 μm is magnetic field and polarization dependent that may be useful for remote magnetometry. The presented results could help determine the requirements for obtaining directional return from sodium atoms in the mesosphere

Self-energy of Heavy Quark

description: We demonstrate that to calculate the self-energy of a heavy quark in the heavy quark limit (or the heavy fermion limit in what is called the Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory), the use of standard dimensional regularization provides only the quantum limit: opposite to the heavy quark (or classical) limit that one wishes to obtain. We thus devised a standard ultraviolet/infrared regularization procedure in calculating the one- and two-loop contributions to the heavy quark self-energy in this limit. Then the one-loop result is shown to provide the standard classical Coulomb self-energy of a static colour source that is linearly proportional to the untraviolet cutoff $Λ$. All the two-loop contributions are found to be proportional to $Λ\ln(Λ/λ)$ where $λ$ is the infrared cutoff. Often only the contribution from the bubble (light quarks, gluon and ghost) insertion to the gluon propagator has been considered as the $O(α_s)$ correction to the Coulomb energy to this order. Our result shows that other contributions are of the same magnitude, thus have to be taken into account.

description: Just like the well-established Euler angles representation, fused angles are a convenient parameterisation for rotations in three-dimensional Euclidean space. They were developed in the context of balancing bodies, most specifically walking bipedal robots, but have since found wider application due to their useful properties. A comparative analysis between fused angles and Euler angles is presented in this paper, delineating the specific differences between the two representations that make fused angles more suitable for representing orientations in balance-related scenarios. Aspects of comparison include the locations of the singularities, the associated parameter sensitivities, the level of mutual independence of the parameters, and the axisymmetry of the parameters.

"It is really excellent, tried and tested a million times": efficacy in the medical and magical texts of ancient Egypt

description: In modern medicine, clinical trials are conducted to ascertain the efficacy of drugs that have been created for the treatment of specific ailments. The resultant reports and scientific papers provide a commentary on their effectiveness. In an ancient Egyptian context, textual markers are used to annotate various remedies for effectiveness. These statements of efficacy occur either in introductory rubrics, colophons, or margins of the healing texts from pharaonic Egypt. However, only four percent of remedies bear these markers. It is perhaps due to their limited number that there is negligible scholarship devoted to the study of these endorsements; the small quantity gives the impression that they are insignificant. Indeed, less than half a page has been devoted to the topic of efficacy in landmark works on Egyptian medicine by Hermann Grapow and Wolfhart Westendorf, which supports this viewpoint. Yet, there must be some significance attached to these markers, at least for the scribes who composed or copied them. As such, this thesis will investigate what these markers were, how they were used, and why only a tiny proportion of the surviving healing texts received such attention.
In identifying those remedies that have annotations of efficacy, patterns of use emerged from the dataset for each location. It was also noted that very similar remedies do not bear the markings. Therefore, since a purely pharmaceutical approach will not account for the markers’ sporadic use, the study interrogates the connection between the choice and the location of the marker from a cognitive perspective, drawing on the theory that words frame concepts and vice versa. Were these markers the result of lived experience or part of a copying tradition, or both? The study also examines how these concepts were communicated to the practitioner and patient. Did these markers contribute to a placebo effect? Finally, a comparison of remedies with and without markers is undertaken to ascertain a possible distinction between them. Insights gained from such an analysis may contribute to the broader study of efficacy as a human judgement in the wider history of healing practices.

description: AIM: The principle aim of this study was to examine the association between infection with Theileria orientalis Ikeda type and growth rates of suckled beef calves on four beef farms. In addition, associations between calf sex, sampling time, and individual farm and T. orientalis Ikeda type infection intensity and haematocrit (HCT) were investigated. METHODS: The study was a prospective longitudinal study in which 240 calves from four purposively selected beef farms in the North Island of New Zealand were blood sampled and weighed in late spring, mid-summer and early autumn. Two farms were from high-risk (A and B) and two from low-risk (C and D) tick areas. Blood samples were analysed to determine HCT, and the number of T. orientalis Ikeda type organisms/µL of blood (infection intensity) using a quantitative PCR assay. A calf was defined as infected if >415 organisms/µL were detected in a blood sample. Linear mixed models were used to examine associations between infection intensity, mean daily live weight gain (MDG), HCT, calf sex and time of sampling on the four farms. RESULTS: On Farms A and B nearly all calves were infected at each sampling time, on Farm C <30% were infected at any sampling and on Farm D infection prevalence increased from 32 to 79% between late spring and early autumn. On Farms C and D, from mid-summer to early autumn, mean MDG was 0.127 (95% CI = 0.072–0.183) kg/day less for infected than uninfected calves (p CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study has shown that beef farmers in the North Island of New Zealand should be concerned about the welfare effects and economic impacts of T. orientalis Ikeda type infection in suckled beef calves.

description: The emergence of chiral anomaly entails various fascinating phenomena such as anomalous quantum Hall effect and chiral magnetic effect in different branches of (non-)Hermitian physics. While in the single-particle picture, anomalous currents merely appear due to the coupling of massless particles with background fields, many-body interactions can also be responsible for anomalous transport in interacting systems. In this Letter, we study anomalous chiral currents in systems where interacting massless fermions with complex Fermi velocities are coupled to complex gauge fields. Our results reveal that incorporating non-Hermiticity and many-body interactions gives rise to additional terms in anomalous relations beyond their Hermitian counterparts. We further present that many-body corrections in the subsequent non-Hermitian chiral magnetic field or anomalous Hall effect are nonvanishing in nonequilibrium or inhomogeneous systems. Our results advance efforts in understanding the anomalous transport in interacting non-Hermitian systems.

description: Large-Area Picosecond Photo-Detectors (LAPPDs) show great potential for expanding the performance envelope of Micro-Channel Plates (MCPs) to areas of up to 20 x 20 cm and larger. Such scaling introduces new challenges, including how to meet the electronics readout burden of ever larger area MCPs. One solution is to replace the traditional grid anode used for readout with a microwave stripline anode, thus allowing the channel count to scale with MCP width rather than area. However, stripline anodes introduce new issues not commonly dealt with in grid-anodes, especially as their length increases. One of these issues is the near simultaneous arrival of multiple photons on the detector, creating possible confusion about how to reconstruct their arrival times and positions. We propose a maximum a posteriori solution to the problem and verify its performance in simulated scintillator and water-Cherenkov detectors.
