Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter II.2: Quantum Strings in AdS5xS5

We review the semiclassical analysis of strings in AdS5xS5 with a focus on the relationship to the underlying integrable structures. We discuss the perturbative calculation of energies for strings with large charges, using the folded string spinning in an AdS3 subset of AdS5 as our main example. Furthermore, we review the perturbative light-cone quantization of the string theory and the calculation of the worldsheet S-matrix.Comment: 20 pages, see also overview article arXiv:1012.3982, v2: references to other chapters update

Integrative epigenomic mapping defines four main chromatin states in Arabidopsis

This first comprehensive view of the Arabidopsis epigenome reveals that it is organized into four main chromatin types based on the integrative mapping of a broad set of 11 histone marks and DNA methylation in seedlings

Interacting finite-size magnons

We explicitly construct a large class of finite-volume two-magnon string solutions moving on R x S^2. In particular, by making use of the relationship between the O(3) sigma model and sine-Gordon theory we are able to find solutions corresponding to the periodic analogues of magnon scattering and breather-like solutions. After semi-classically quantizing these solutions we invert the implicit expressions for the excitation energies in certain limits and find the corrections for the multi-magnon states. For the breather-like solutions we express the energies directly in terms of the action variable whereas for the scattering solution we express the result as a combination of corrections to the dispersion relation and to the scattering phase.Comment: 45pages, 7figures, v2: simplified expressions for periods and angular momenta when elliptic modulus is greater than one, references added, typos correcte

Strategies to facilitate shared decision-making about pediatric oncology clinical trial enrollment:: a systematic review

Objective: we conducted a systematic review to identify the strategies that have been recommended in the literature to facilitate shared decision-making regarding enrolment in pediatric oncology clinical trials.Methods: we searched seven databases for peer-reviewed literature, published 1990–2017. Of 924 articles identified, 17 studies were eligible for the review. We assessed study quality using the ‘Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool’. We coded the results and discussions of papers line-by-line using nVivo software. We categorized strategies thematically.Results: five main themes emerged: 1) decision-making as a process, 2) individuality of the process; 3) information provision, 4) the role of communication, or 5) decision and psychosocial support. Families should have adequate time to make a decision. HCPs should elicit parents’ and patients’ preferences for level of information and decision involvement. Information should be clear and provided in multiple modalities. Articles also recommended providing training for healthcare professionals and access to psychosocial support for families.Conclusion: high quality, individually-tailored information, open communication and psychosocial support appear vital in supporting decision-making regarding enrollment in clinical trials. These data will usefully inform future decision-making interventions/tools to support families making clinical trial decisions.Practice implications: a solid evidence-base for effective strategies which facilitate shared decision-making is needed

Dataset for "Multi-objective optimisation of urban courtyard blocks in hot arid zones"

This dataset supports the study on the relationship between the design parameters, namely, individual building heights, interspaces, and orientation, and both outdoor thermal comfort and cooling loads of urban courtyard blocks in Cairo, Egypt. The study uses Grasshopper for Rhino3D and its environmental plugins, Ladybug-tools, as well as the multi-objective optimisation plugin, Octopus, to analyse thermal comfort represented by the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) along with cooling loads in MWh of thousands of courtyard block configurations. The data files include the raw data as produced by the search algorithm, and recorded in Grasshopper, the refined data excluding duplicates, data for the Pareto optimal sets, as well as the processed data

Dataset for "On the optimisation of urban form design, energy consumption and outdoor thermal comfort using a parametric workflow in a hot arid zone"

This dataset supports the study on the investigation of urban form design parameters and their relationship to outdoor thermal comfort and energy consumption in Cairo, Egypt. The study utilises Grasshopper for Rhino3D to manage parametric combinations of the urban geometry (Documentation video "Typologies") as such it uses the Ladybug-tools plugins which link Grasshopper with EnergyPlus for energy simulations (Documentation video "Simulation"). The CSV data file includes the input geometrical parameters (prefixed "IN:") and the corresponding output thermal comfort and energy use (prefixed "OUT:")
