High Heritability Is Compatible with the Broad Distribution of Set Point Viral Load in HIV Carriers.
Set point viral load in HIV patients ranges over several orders of magnitude and is a key determinant of disease progression in HIV. A number of recent studies have reported high heritability of set point viral load implying that viral genetic factors contribute substantially to the overall variation in viral load. The high heritability is surprising given the diversity of host factors associated with controlling viral infection. Here we develop an analytical model that describes the temporal changes of the distribution of set point viral load as a function of heritability. This model shows that high heritability is the most parsimonious explanation for the observed variance of set point viral load. Our results thus not only reinforce the credibility of previous estimates of heritability but also shed new light onto mechanisms of viral pathogenesis
[Colored solutions of Yang-Baxter equation from representations of U_{q}gl(2)]
We study the Hopf algebra structure and the highest weight representation of
a multiparameter version of . The commutation relations as well as
other Hopf algebra maps are explicitly given. We show that the multiparameter
universal matrix can be constructed directly as a quantum double
intertwiner, without using Reshetikhin's transformation. An interesting feature
automatically appears in the representation theory: it can be divided into two
types, one for generic , the other for being a root of unity. When
applying the representation theory to the multiparameter universal
matrix, the so called standard and nonstandard colored solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation is obtained.Comment: [14]pages, latex, no figure
Floquet Topological Polaritons in Semiconductor Microcavities
We propose and model Floquet topological polaritons in semiconductor
microcavities, using the interference of frequency detuned coherent fields to
provide a time periodic potential. For arbitrarily weak field strength, where
the Floquet frequency is larger than the relevant bandwidth of the system, a
Chern insulator is obtained. As the field strength is increased, a topological
phase transition is observed with an unpaired Dirac cone proclaiming the
anomalous Floquet topological insulator. As the relevant bandwidth increases
even further, an exotic Chern insulator with flat band is observed with
unpaired Dirac cone at the second critical point. Considering the polariton
spin degree of freedom, we find that the choice of field polarization allows
oppositely polarized polaritons to either co-propagate or counter-propagate in
chiral edge states.Comment: Accepted by PR
Anti-chiral edge states in an exciton polariton strip
We present a scheme to obtain anti-chiral edge states in an exciton-polariton
honeycomb lattice with strip geometry, where the modes corresponding to both
edges propagate in the same direction. Under resonant pumping the effect of a
polariton condensate with nonzero velocity in one linear polarization is
predicted to tilt the dispersion of polaritons in the other, which results in
an energy shift between two Dirac cones and the otherwise flat edge states
become tilted. Our simulations show that due to the spatial separation from the
bulk modes the edge modes are robust against disorder.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

Tuning magnetic anisotropy of epitaxial Ag/Fe/Fe0.5Co0.5/MgO(001) films
Single crystalline Ag/Fe/Fe0.5Co0.5/MgO(001) films were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy and investigated by Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE). We find that even though the 4-fold magnetic anisotropies of Ag/Fe/MgO(001) and Ag/Fe0.5Co0.5/MgO(001) films are different from the corresponding bulk values, their opposite signs allow a fine tuning of the 4-fold magnetic anisotropy in Ag/Fe/Fe0.5Co0.5/MgO(001) films by varying the Fe and Fe0.5Co0.5 film thicknesses. In particular, the critical point of zero anisotropy can be achieved in a wide range of film thicknesses. Using Rotational MOKE, we determined and constructed the anisotropy phase diagram in the Fe and Fe0.5Co0.5 thickness plane from which the zero anisotropy exhibits a linear relation between the Fe and Fe0.5Co0.5 thickness
Group Divisible Codes and Their Application in the Construction of Optimal Constant-Composition Codes of Weight Three
The concept of group divisible codes, a generalization of group divisible
designs with constant block size, is introduced in this paper. This new class
of codes is shown to be useful in recursive constructions for constant-weight
and constant-composition codes. Large classes of group divisible codes are
constructed which enabled the determination of the sizes of optimal
constant-composition codes of weight three (and specified distance), leaving
only four cases undetermined. Previously, the sizes of constant-composition
codes of weight three were known only for those of sufficiently large length.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, 4 table
Determination of the Sign of g factors for Conduction Electrons Using Time-resolved Kerr Rotation
The knowledge of electron g factor is essential for spin manipulation in the
field of spintronics and quantum computing. While there exist technical
difficulties in determining the sign of g factor in semiconductors by the
established magneto-optical spectroscopic methods. We develop a time resolved
Kerr rotation technique to precisely measure the sign and the amplitude of
electron g factor in semiconductors
