According to the inflationary theory of cosmology, most elementary particles in the current universe were created during a period of reheating after inflation. In this work we self-consistently couple the Einstein-inflaton equations to a strongly coupled quantum field theory (QFT) as described by holography. We show that this leads to an inflating universe, a reheating phase and finally a universe dominated by the QFT in thermal equilibrium.
We use holography to study the dynamics of a strongly-coupled gauge theory in four-dimensional de Sitter space with Hubble rate H. The gauge theory is non-conformal with a characteristic mass scale M. We solve Einstein’s equations numerically and determine the time evolution of homogeneous gauge theory states. If their initial energy density is high compared with H4 then the early-time evolution is well described by viscous hydrodynamics with a non-zero bulk viscosity. At late times the dynamics is always far from equilibrium. The asymptotic late-time state preserves the full de Sitter symmetry group and its dual geometry is a domain-wall in AdS5. The approach to this state is characterised by an emergent relation of the form P = w E that is different from the equilibrium equation of state in flat space. The constant w does not depend on the initial conditions but only on H/M and is negative if the ratio H/M is close to unity. The event and the apparent horizons of the late-time solution do not coincide with one another, reflecting its non-equilibrium nature. In between them lies an “entanglement horizon” that cannot be penetrated by extremal surfaces anchored at the boundary, which we use to compute the entanglement entropy of boundary regions. If the entangling region equals the observable universe then the extremal surface coincides with a bulk cosmological horizon that just touches the event horizon, while for larger regions the extremal surface probes behind the event horizon.
We present the first holographic simulations of non-equilibrium steady state formation in strongly coupled N=4 SYM theory in 3+1 dimensions. We initially join together two thermal baths at different temperatures and chemical potentials and compare the subsequent evolution of the combined system to analytic solutions of the corresponding Riemann problem and to numeric solutions of ideal and viscous hydrodynamics. The time evolution of the energy density that we obtain holographically is consistent with the combination of a shock and a rarefaction wave: A shock wave moves towards the cold bath, and a smooth broadening wave towards the hot bath. Between the two waves emerges a steady state with constant temperature and flow velocity, both of which are accurately described by a shock+rarefaction wave solution of the Riemann problem. In the steady state region, a smooth crossover develops between two regions of different charge density. This is reminiscent of a contact discontinuity in the Riemann problem. We also obtain results for the entanglement entropy of regions crossed by shock and rarefaction waves and find both of them to closely follow the evolution of the energy density.

Background: Despite known clinical benefits, guideline-recommended heart rate (HR) control is not achieved for a significant proportion of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. The wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) provides continuous HR monitoring and alerts that could aid medication titration.
Objective: This study sought to evaluate sex differences in achieving guideline-recommended HR control during a period of WCD use.
Methods: Data from patients fitted with a WCD from 2015 to 2018 were obtained from the manufacturer’s database (ZOLL). The proportion of patients with adequate nighttime resting HR control at the beginning of use (BOU) and at the end of use (EOU) were compared by sex. Adequate HR control was defined as having a nighttime median HR <70 beats/min.
Results: A total of 21,440 women and a comparative sample of 17,328 men (median 90 [IQR 59–116] days of WCD wear) were included in the final dataset. Among patients who did not receive a shock, over half had insufficient HR control at BOU (59% of women, 53% of men). Although the proportion of patients with resting HR ≥70 beats/min improved by EOU, 43% of women and 36% of men did not achieve guideline-recommended HR control.
Conclusion: A significant proportion of women and men did not achieve adequate HR control during a period of medical therapy optimization. Compared with men, a greater proportion of women receiving WCD shocks had insufficiently controlled HR in the week preceding ventricular tachyarrhythmia/ventricular fibrillation and 43% of nonshocked women, compared with 36% of men, did not reach adequate HR control during the study period. The WCD can be utilized as a remote monitoring tool to record HR and inform adequate uptitration of beta-blockers, with particular focus on reducing the treatment gap in women.
Background: Data on the arrhythmic burden of women at risk for sudden cardiac death are limited, especially in patients using the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD).
Objective: We aimed to characterize WCD compliance, atrial and ventricular arrhythmic burden, and WCD outcomes by sex in patients enrolled in the Prospective Registry of Patients Using the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WEARIT-II U.S. Registry).
Methods: In the WEARIT-II Registry, we stratified 2000 patients by sex into women (n = 598) and men (n = 1402). WCD wear time, ventricular and atrial arrhythmic events during WCD use, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation rates at the end of WCD use were evaluated.
Results: The mean WCD wear time was similar in women and men (94 days vs 90 days; P = .145), with longer daily use in women (21.4 h/d vs 20.7 h/d; P = .001). Burden of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation was higher in women, with 30 events per 100 patient-years compared with 18 events per 100 patient-years in men (P = .017), with similar findings for treated and non-treated ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation. Recurrent atrial arrhythmias/sustained ventricular tachycardia was also more frequent in women than in men (167 events per 100 patient-years vs 73 events per 100 patient-years; P = .042). However, ICD implantation rate at the end of WCD use was similar in both women and men (41% vs 39%; P = .448).
Conclusion: In the WEARIT-II Registry, we have shown a higher burden of ventricular and atrial arrhythmic events in women than in men. ICD implantation rates at the end of WCD use were similar. Our findings warrant monitoring women at risk for sudden cardiac death who have a high burden of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias while using the WCD.
The epitranscriptome embodies many new and largely unexplored functions of RNA. A major roadblock in the epitranscriptomics field is the lack of transcriptome-wide methods to detect more than a single RNA modification type at a time, identify RNA modifications in individual molecules, and estimate modification stoichiometry accurately. We address these issues with CHEUI (CH3 (methylation) Estimation Using Ionic current), a new method that concurrently detects N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytidine (m5C) in individual RNA molecules from the same sample, as well as differential methylation between any two conditions. CHEUI processes observed and expected nanopore direct RNA sequencing signals with convolutional neural networks to achieve high single-molecule accuracy and outperforms other methods in detecting m6A and m5C sites and quantifying their stoichiometry. CHEUI’s unique capability to identify two modification types in the same sample reveals a non-random co-occurrence of m6A and m5C in mRNA transcripts in cell lines and tissues. CHEUI unlocks an unprecedented potential to study RNA modification configurations and discover new epitranscriptome functions.

Kurzvorstellung der folgenden Publikation:
Mann, William Benson: Das Leben und das Bekenntniß sowie die schauderhaften Verbrechen des Anton Probst, des Mörders der Familie Deering : nebst einer wahrheitsgetreuen Geschichte vieler der scheußlichsten und geheimnißvollsten Morde, die hier und in anderen Ländern begangen wurden. - 12 Illustrationen. - Philadelphia : Verlag von Barclay & Co., 1866. - Seiten 39 - 109.
Der Beitrag sucht Georg Christoph Lichtenbergs Position im Sprachdenken der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts zu bestimmen. Diese ist durch eine Kombination von anthropologischen und technisch-pragmatischen, sprachhandwerklichen Überlegungen zur "Wörterfertigung" geprägt, bei der Fragen von Lexik und Nomenklatur im Vordergrund stehen. Zu den Leitkriterien des guten Stils gehören Lichtenberg zufolge Wahrheit und Genauigkeit sowie Natürlichkeit und Individualisierung.
Der Beitrag untersucht den Gebrauch des Tonbegriffs im ästhetischen und poetologischen Diskurs des mittleren und späten 18. Jahrhunderts. Ausgangspunkt dafür ist eine Verhältnisbestimmung der Termini Schreibart, Stil und Ton, aus der die gattungspoetologische Bedeutung des Tons hervorgeht. Entgegen dem seit der romantischen Ästhetik dominanten Verständnis verbindet die Dichtungstheorie des 18. Jahrhunderts (Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, Johann Joachim Eschenburg, Johann Jakob Engel, Johann Christoph Adelung) mit dem Begriff nicht nur die klangliche Dimension von Literatur, sondern auch eine affektive Grundierung von Gattungsformen und ein Konzept für die Beschreibung von gattungshybriden Texten.
Am Nachdruck, wie er bei Johann Christoph Gottsched, Johann Jacob Bodmer, Johann Jacob Breitinger, Johann Georg Sulzer und Johann Gottfried Herder diskutiert wird, lässt sich exemplarisch beobachten, wie eine Gruppe von rhetorischen Verfahren zur Kennzeichnung von nationalen Kollektivstilen ausgebaut wird. Eine wichtige Voraussetzung für die Ausweitung des Nachdrucks von einer Stilfigur zu einem 'nachdrücklichen Stil', so die hier verfolgte These, ist der über physikalische Leitvorstellungen von Druck, Stoß und Wurf geleistete metaphorische Anschluss an ästhetische Kraftvorstellungen.
Der Begriff des 'körnigen Stils' steht in der Sprach- und Literaturkritik des 18. Jahrhunderts für eine kurze und gehaltvolle, oft auch als 'nachdrücklich' beschriebene Schreibart. Im Literaturstreit zwischen Johann Christoph Gottsched und den 'Schweizern' erlangte er zugleich programmatische und polemische Bedeutung. Im Zentrum des Aufsatzes steht die für das 'Körnige' konstitutive Konstellation von Kürze, Kraft und Konkretion. Ausgehend von Theodor W. Adornos stilsoziologischer Beobachtung, dass der lakonische Stil in Briefen des 18. Jahrhunderts Ausdruck bürgerlicher Notdurft sei, zeige ich an Texten von Johann Christoph Adelung, Johann Jacob Breitinger, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz und Johann Gottfried Herder, dass das Stilideal des Körnigen im 18. Jahrhundert mit dem Streben nach einer Erneuerung und Bereicherung der deutschen Schriftsprache einherging. Zum Kapital, aus dem diese neue Sprache sich speisen sollte, gehörte das ausdifferenzierte Vokabular des Handwerks und des Handels. Der zeitgenössischen Theorie zufolge stellte der körnige Stil also weniger die Notdurft als den Reichtum und die Sprachmächtigkeit des Bürgertums zur Schau.
In seinem Frühwerk "Über die neuere deutsche Literatur" arbeitet der junge Johann Gottfried Herder an der Herausbildung einer neuen Prosa. Durch kommentiertes Zitieren aus den "Briefen, die neueste Literatur betreffend" entwirft er das Ideal einer 'biegsamen' und 'behaglichen' ungebundenen Schreibweise, die sich ganz wesentlich in Stilversuchen manifestiert - in beschriebenen, kritisierten und zitierten sowie denjenigen des Verfassers selbst.
Beispiel und Regel im 18. Jahrhundert : ein Blick in Christian Ludwigs zweisprachige Wörterbücher
(2024)
Zweisprachige Wörterbücher des 18. Jahrhunderts sind eine wichtige Quelle für die Analyse impliziter stilistischer Urteile. Sie wurden einerseits, insbesondere in der zweiten Jahrhunderthälfte, von den präskriptiven Regeln der großen monolingualen Wörterbücher und Grammatiken beeinflusst, andererseits hatten sie die Aufgabe, Fremdsprachenlernern deskriptiv Gebrauchsmuster an Beispielen vorzuführen. Der Beitrag zeichnet nach, wie sich die Autoren dieser doppelten Herausforderung stellten und wie das entstehende präskriptive Regelsystem vor dem Hintergrund der Stilpluralisierung im 18. Jahrhundert zu interpretieren ist.
In seiner "Poétique française" (1763) und seinen "Eléments de littérature" (1787) entwickelt der französische Dichter und Theoretiker Jean-François Marmontel Ansichten zum Stil, die von der traditionellen Regelpoetik geprägt sind, allmählich aber einen Übergang zur Individualstilpoetik andeuten. Während er diese verschiedenen Paradigmen durch den Geschmacksbegriff noch zu vereinen sucht, zeigt die deutsche Rezeption seiner Theorie, insbesondere Gottlob Benedikt von Schirachs Übertragung, wie sich der Kompromiss aufzulösen beginnt und wie sich neben der Durchsetzung der Individualstilpoetik auch eine Trennung zwischen Wissenschaft und Kunst anbahnt.
