Strange particle production at RHIC in a single-freeze-out model
Strange particle ratios and pT-spectra are calculated in a thermal model with
single freeze-out, previously used successfully to describe non-strange
particle production at RHIC. The model and the recently released data for phi,
Lambda, anti-Lambda, and K*(892) are in very satisfactory agreement, showing
that the thermal approach can be used to describe the strangeness production at
RHIC.Comment: We have added the comparison of the model predictions to the newly
released Lambda and K*(892) pT-spectra from STA
Sequential, successive, and simultaneous decoders for entanglement-assisted classical communication
Bennett et al. showed that allowing shared entanglement between a sender and
receiver before communication begins dramatically simplifies the theory of
quantum channels, and these results suggest that it would be worthwhile to
study other scenarios for entanglement-assisted classical communication. In
this vein, the present paper makes several contributions to the theory of
entanglement-assisted classical communication. First, we rephrase the
Giovannetti-Lloyd-Maccone sequential decoding argument as a more general
"packing lemma" and show that it gives an alternate way of achieving the
entanglement-assisted classical capacity. Next, we show that a similar
sequential decoder can achieve the Hsieh-Devetak-Winter region for
entanglement-assisted classical communication over a multiple access channel.
Third, we prove the existence of a quantum simultaneous decoder for
entanglement-assisted classical communication over a multiple access channel
with two senders. This result implies a solution of the quantum simultaneous
decoding conjecture for unassisted classical communication over quantum
multiple access channels with two senders, but the three-sender case still
remains open (Sen recently and independently solved this unassisted two-sender
case with a different technique). We then leverage this result to recover the
known regions for unassisted and assisted quantum communication over a quantum
multiple access channel, though our proof exploits a coherent quantum
simultaneous decoder. Finally, we determine an achievable rate region for
communication over an entanglement-assisted bosonic multiple access channel and
compare it with the Yen-Shapiro outer bound for unassisted communication over
the same channel.Comment: 33 pages, 2 figures; v2 contains a proof of the quantum simultaneous
decoding conjecture for two-sender quantum multiple access channels; v3 shows
how to recover the known unassisted and assisted quantum communication
regions with a coherent quantum simultaneous decode

The design, construction, and commissioning of the KATRIN experiment
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment, which aims to make a direct and model-independent determination of the absolute neutrino mass scale, is a complex experiment with many components. More than 15 years ago, we published a technical design report (TDR) [1] to describe the hardware design and requirements to achieve our sensitivity goal of 0.2 eV at 90% C.L. on the neutrino mass. Since then there has been considerable progress, culminating in the publication of first neutrino mass results with the entire beamline operating [2]. In this paper, we document the current state of all completed beamline components (as of the first neutrino mass measurement campaign), demonstrate our ability to reliably and stably control them over long times, and present details on their respective commissioning campaigns
Factors Associated with Revision Surgery after Internal Fixation of Hip Fractures
Background: Femoral neck fractures are associated with high rates of revision surgery after management with internal fixation. Using data from the Fixation using Alternative Implants for the Treatment of Hip fractures (FAITH) trial evaluating methods of internal fixation in patients with femoral neck fractures, we investigated associations between baseline and surgical factors and the need for revision surgery to promote healing, relieve pain, treat infection or improve function over 24 months postsurgery. Additionally, we investigated factors associated with (1) hardware removal and (2) implant exchange from cancellous screws (CS) or sliding hip screw (SHS) to total hip arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty, or another internal fixation device. Methods: We identified 15 potential factors a priori that may be associated with revision surgery, 7 with hardware removal, and 14 with implant exchange. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses in our investigation. Results: Factors associated with increased risk of revision surgery included: female sex, [hazard ratio (HR) 1.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25-2.50; P = 0.001], higher body mass index (fo
