Transvaginal Ultrasound in the Diagnosis and Assessment of Endometriosis—An Overview: How, Why, and When

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease, causing symptoms such as pelvic pain and infertility. Accurate diagnosis and assessment are often challenging. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), along with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are the most common imaging modalities. In this narrative review, we present the evidence behind the role of TVS in the diagnosis and assessment of endometriosis. We recognize three forms of endometriosis: Ovarian endometriomas (OMAs) can be adequately assessed by transvaginal ultrasound. Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP) is challenging to diagnose by either imaging modality. TVS, in the hands of appropriately trained clinicians, appears to be non-inferior to MRI in the diagnosis and assessment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The IDEA consensus standardized the terminology and offered a structured approach in the assessment of endometriosis by ultrasound. TVS can be used in the non-invasive staging of endometriosis using the available classification systems (rASRM, #ENZIAN). Given its satisfactory overall diagnostic accuracy, wide availability, and low cost, it should be considered as the first-line imaging modality in the diagnosis and assessment of endometriosis. Modifications to the original ultrasound technique can be employed on a case-by-case basis. Improved training and future advances in ultrasound technology are likely to further increase its diagnostic performance.
Forcing with copies of countable ordinals

Let \alpha be a countable ordinal and \P(\alpha) the collection of its subsets isomorphic to \alpha. We show that the separative quotient of the set \P (\alpha) ordered by the inclusion is isomorphic to a forcing product of iterated reduced products of Boolean algebras of the form P(\omega ^\gamma)/I(\omega ^\gamma), where \gamma is a limit ordinal or 1 and I(\omega ^\gamma) the corresponding ordinal ideal. Moreover, the poset \P(\alpha) is forcing equivalent to a two-step iteration P(\omega)/Fin * \pi, where \pi is an \omega_1-closed separative pre-order in each extension by P(\omega)/Fin and, if the distributivity number is equal to\omega_1, to P(\omega)/Fin. Also we analyze the quotients over ordinal ideals P(\omega ^\delta)/I(\omega ^\delta) and their distributivity and tower numbers.
Asymptotic Approximations to the Nodes and Weights of Gauss–Hermite and Gauss–Laguerre Quadratures

Asymptotic approximations to the zeros of Hermite and Laguerre polynomials are given, together with methods for obtaining the coefficients in the expansions. These approximations can be used as a stand‐alone method of computation of Gaussian quadratures for high enough degrees, with Gaussian weights computed from asymptotic approximations for the orthogonal polynomials. We provide numerical evidence showing that for degrees greater than 100, the asymptotic methods are enough for a double precision accuracy computation (15–16 digits) of the nodes and weights of the Gauss–Hermite and Gauss–Laguerre quadratures.
Automorphisms of hyperk\"ahler manifolds and groups acting on CAT(0) spaces.

We study groups of bimeromorphic and biholomorphic automorphisms of projective hyperk\"ahler manifolds. Using an action of these groups on some non-positively curved space, we deduce many of their properties, including finite presentation, strong form of Tits' alternative and some structural results about groups consisting of transformations with infinite order.
Excitation of the n=2 states of helium by positron impact

A high-resolution (DELTAEapprox55 meV) trap-based positron beam has been used to measure absolute scattering cross sections for the excitation of the resolved 2 {sup 1}S,P states of helium at energies between threshold and 38 eV. The experimental integral cross sections, which have typical uncertainties of 10% or less, are compared with several theoretical calculations, and the agreement is generally very favorable. In particular, a new convergent close-coupling approach shows excellent agreement with the experimental data.
Remarks on torus principal bundles

In this paper w e study principal bundles X 1 4 M over a com pact complex manifold M whose structure group is a com pact complex torus T = V IA . The to ta l space X o f such a principal bundle is usually not a Kdhler space even if the base manifold M is. Typical examples a r e Hopf m anifo lds, o r the Calabi-Eckmann manifolds diffeomorphic to a product of spheres. These are principal bundles over a product of projective spaces, the fibre is a n elliptic curve. Those and other special examples have been studied in detail, see [Cal-Eck], [M aeda], [Nakam ura], [Akao]. We develop the theory starting from the base manifold M , often assuming that it (i.e. H2 (M)) has a Hodge decomposition. For a T-principal bundle XI> M we define a characteristic class cz e 112 (M, A) (1.3) and invariants e: H°42,
Spatial Dynamic Panel Data Models with Random Effects

We develop a general space–time filter applied to panel data models in order to control for heterogeneity as well as both time and spatial dependence. Treatment of initial period observations is analyzed when the number of time periods is small. A second issue relates to a restriction implied by the filter specification on the space–time cross-product term that can greatly simplify interpretation of model estimates as well as the estimation procedure. An applied illustration of the method is provided using a Solow growth model. The application shows that the theoretical restriction implied for the cross-product term in our space–time filter specification is consistent with this particular dynamic space–time panel data set.
On spacetime foliations and electromagnetic knots

The present paper has a number of distinct purposes. First is to give a description of a class of electromagnetic knots from the perspective of foliation theory. Knotted solutions are then interpreted in terms of two codimension-2 foliations whose knotted leaves intersect orthogonally everywhere in spacetime. Secondly, we show how the foliations give rise to field lines and how the topological invariants emerge. The machinery used here emphasizes intrinsic properties of the leaves instead of observer dependent quantities—such as a time function, a local rest frame or a Cauchy hypersurface. Finally, we discuss the celebrated Hopf–Rañada solution in details and stress how the foliation approach may help in future developments of the theory of electromagnetic knots. We conclude with several possible applications, extensions and generalizations.
Exponent preserving subgroups of the finite simple groups

ABSTRACT Given a group G denote with exp(G) its exponent, which is the least common multiple of the order of its elements. In this paper, we solve the problem of finding the finite simple groups having a proper subgroup with the same exponent. For each G with this property we will provide an explicit example of H
Ρ PUPPIS: A NEW SHORT-PERIOD VARIABLE STAR

Photoelectric observations by the writer in 1951-52 with the 9-inch Oddie refractor of the Commonwealth Observatory, Mount Stromlo, Australia, indicated that the light of p Puppis varied approximately 0.15 mag. The light variation was also independently discovered at the Cape Observatory. On four nights in March 1956, the light of this star was compared with that of § Puppis, with the 12-inch Lick refractor, with the results as shown in Figure 1. Data on these two stars follow : Spectral Star a (1900) 5 VE (P-V)E Type p Puppis (Max.) 8 3TM3 -24°01' 2^68 +(T30 F6II | Puppis 7 45.1 —24 37 3.31 +1.18 G3 Ii>
The distribution of the interstellar medium in the Scd galaxy NGC 6946. II: The CO data

A fully sampled (C-12)O map of the inner 6.75 arcmin of the Scd galaxy NGC 6946 made with the 14-m antenna of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory is presented. H I and B- and I-band fluxes measured in the same apertures as the CO emission are also given for comparison purposes. The CO emission is centrally peaked with a fairly smooth radial falloff. Smaller peaks in the CO-integrated intensity are found in the northeast and southwest, toward two bright optical spiral arms. 16 refs.
In vitro cytotoxic potential of Gymnema sylvestre fractions on HT-29 cell line

The HT-29 colon cancer cell line was used in the current work to investigate the anti-cancer efficacy of Gymnema sylvestre extracts. The viability, apoptosis, flow cytometry, and mode of action of the active fraction were also evaluated. The active fractions of G. sylvestre caused cell cycle arrest at the S phase and G2/M phase, and also caused programmed cell death. The alcoholic fractions showed anti-cancer effect in HT-29 cancer cells. By applying methanolic fraction of Gymnema sylvestre to the HT-29 cells, IC50 was observed at 140.39 μg/mL, whereas for chloroform fraction of Gymnema sylvestre showed IC50 at 154.44 μg/mL. The herbal extract for colon cancer treatment may be developed with the help of researchers due to G. sylvestre’s anti-cancer properties.
A new class of entanglement measures

We introduce new entanglement measures on the set of density operators on tensor product Hilbert spaces. These measures are based on the greatest cross norm on the tensor product of the sets of trace class operators on Hilbert space. We show that they satisfy the basic requirements on entanglement measures discussed in the literature, including convexity, invariance under local unitary operations and nonincrease under local quantum operations and classical communication.
ONE-DIMENSIONAL VOTER MODEL INTERFACE REVISITED

We consider the voter model on $\mathbb{Z}$, starting with all 1's to the left of the origin and all $0$'s to the right of the origin. It is known that if the associated random walk kernel $p$ has zero mean and a finite r-th moment for any $r>3$, then the evolution of the boundaries of the interface region between 1's and 0's converge in distribution to a standard Brownian motion $(B_t)_{t>0}$ under diffusive scaling of space and time. This convergence fails when $p$ has an infinite $r$-th moment for any $r 0$.
Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Suicidal Ideation among Schizophrenic patients

Background: Negative suicidal thoughts occur often in schizophrenic patients throughout the course of their illness, especially during the initial psychotic episode, and many of these individuals have poor emotional IQ. Aim : The purpose of the current research was to examine the association between emotional intelligence and schizophrenic patients' suicidal ideation. Research Design: The current study's aim was accomplished using a descriptive correlational research design . Study subjects and setting : 90 schizophrenic inpatients at Minia Hospital for Mental Health and Addiction Treatment in New Minia City were included in the study. Tools: Socio-demographic and clinical data questionnaire, Emotional Intelligence Scale and Suicidal Ideation Scale were used. Results: 78.9% of the studied patients were males, 68.9% of them had low emotional intelligence. While, 81.1% of them had low suicidal ideation. Conclusion: According to the study's findings, the majority of the sample exhibited low emotional intelligence and few suicide thoughts. Additionally, there was a bad link between suicidal ideation and emotional intelligence among them. Recommendations: All psychiatric patients should participate in psycho educational programs to increase their emotional intelligence and decrease suicidal ideation.
The Effect of HRM Pratices on Employee Engagement with Clan Culture as Moderating Variables

To maintain and improve competitiveness, exploring potentials and innovations to survive in the competition aimed at attracting student interest and gaining public recognition at the national and global levels (World Class University), universities must improve employee engagement. Because high employee engagement is a source of organizational competitive advantage in achieving its vision, mission, main goals and implementing organizational strategies at the global level. To improve employee engagement with improving HRM Practices. In this study, testing the effect of HRM practices on employee engagement with clan culture as a moderating variable. The results of these tests are expected to be a reference for organizations to improve employee engagement. Questionnaires were distributedto 154 employees of universities in Surabaya with varying criteria. After the questionnaires were collected, statistical tests were performed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The results of statistical testing found that employee engagement are influenced by training & development, performance appraisal and compensation. Meanwhile, clan culture only moderates the relation between compensation for employee engagement, and does not moderate the relations between training & development and performance appraisal on employee engagement. Results of this study may be employed as a policy consideration and further contribute to the literature of management studies.
Nonlinear travelling waves on non-Euclidean spaces

We study travelling wave solutions, that is, solutions of the form $v(t, x) = e^{i\lambda t}u(g(t)x)$, to nonlinear Schr\"odinger and Klein-Gordon equations on Riemannian manifolds, both compact and non-compact ones, with emphasis on the NLKG. Here $g(t)$ represents a one-parameter family of isometries generated by a Killing field $X$ and a case of particular interest is when $X$ has length $\leq 1$, which leads in certain settings to hypoelliptic operators with loss of at least one derivative. In the compact case, we establish existence of travelling wave solutions via "energy" minimization methods and prove that at least compact isotropic manifolds have \emph{genuinely} travelling waves. We establish certain sharp regularity estimates on low dimensional spheres that improve results in ~\cite{T1} and carry out the subelliptic analysis for NLKG on spheres of higher dimensions utilizing their homogeneous coset space properties. Such subelliptic phenomenon have no parallel in the setting of flat spaces. We will also study related phenomenon on complete noncompact manifolds with certain symmetry assumptions using concentration-compactness type arguments.
Sensitivity of Electroplating Conditions on Young's Modulus of Thin Film

We address a relatively simple method to investigate the sensitivity of Young's modulus to the plating conditions such as the plating temperature and applied current density. This method uses the resonance method of atomic force microscope, which does not require specially microfabricated cantilevers and additional experimental set-up. The measured Young's modulus is as high as that of bulk nickel at low plating temperature between 40–60 °C and at low applied current density (J=8.6 mA/cm2), but drastically drops at high temperature or current density. The dependence of Young's modulus on the plating thickness is negligible in thin film less than few microns.
Long-period variables in the galactic bulge : evidence for a young super-metal-rich population.

JHKL observations have been made of a sample of 51 long-period variables (LPVs) in three relatively unobscured fields toward the galactic center. The ( J-K)/sub 0/ colors of galactic center, Magellanic Cloud, and local LPVs are similar for P< or approx. =250 days, but for longer periods the galactic center LPVs are significantly redder than the local or Cloud Mira variables. Spectra of a small sample of the galactic center LPVs show that they are all M, no C, stars. We interpret the excessive redness of the longer period galactic center LPVs as resulting from their lying on an unusually cool giant branch; the coolness of this giant branch we in turn interpret as being due to a metal abundance approx.2. 5 times the solar value. Pulsation masses M/sub p/ of up to 3.5 M/sub sun/ (age of a few times 10/sup 8/ years) are derived for the red, longer period LPVs, whereas M/sub p/ < or approx. =M/sub sun/ for the shorter period LPVs. Although we suggest caution in immediate acceptance of these masses due to present uncertainties in the interpretation of the theory and observation of pulsating red giants, the above results suggest that the galactic bulge contains starsmore » with a range in mass and age, with the young stars having significantly enhanced metal abundances and the older stars having metal abundances similar to those of LPVs in the solar vicinity. A possible origin for the young, metal-rich stars is suggested, and the significance of the existence of cool, luminous M stars in the bulge is discussed in relation to stellar synthesis models of galaxies. « less
Asymptotic of the Solutions of Hyperbolic Equations with a Skew-Symmetric Perturbation

Using methods introduced by S. Schochet inJ. Differential Equations114(1994), 476–512, we compute the first term of an asymptotic expansion of the solutions of hyperbolic equations perturbated by a skew-symmetric linear operator. That result is first applied to two systems describing the motion of geophysic fluids: the rotating Euler equations and the primitive system of the quasigeostrophic equations. Finally in the last part, we study the slightly compressible Euler equations by application of that same result.
Taguchi's parameter design: a panel discussion

It is more than a decade since Genichi Taguchi's ideas on quality improvement were inrroduced in the United States. His parameter-design approach for reducing variation in products and processes has generated a great deal of interest among both quality practitioners and statisticians. The statistical techniques used by Taguchi to implement parameter design have been the subject of much debate, however, and there has been considerable research aimed at integrating the parameter-design principles with well-established statistical techniques. On the other hand, Taguchi and his colleagues feel that these research efforts by statisticians are misguided and reflect a lack of understanding of the engineering principles underlying Taguchi's methodology. This panel discussion provides a forum for a technical discussion of these diverse views. A group of practitioners and researchers discuss the role of parameter design and Taguchi's methodology for implementing it. The topics covered include the importance of vari.
Valuations, Deformations, and Toric Geometry

A study of the relation between a noetherian local domain with a given valuation and its associated graded ring with respect to the valuation, which in some cases is an esentially toric variety, possibly of infinite embedding dimension, but of finite Krull dimension. After extension of the valuation to a suitable completion (whose existence is not established in the paper) the relation becomes much more precise, and suggests a possible way to establish local uniformization for an excellent equicharacteristic local domain with an algebraically closed residue field, by deforming a partial toric embedded resolution of the essentially toric spectrum of the associated graded ring.
Generalized Energetics for Linear and Nonlinear Symmetric Instabilities

Abstract By use of an energy integral based on generalized energy conservation, previous analytical results for linear CSI (Conditional Symmetric Instability) with a uniform basic state are extended to linear CSI with a nonuniform basic state in which the stratification and shear of the basic flow are functions of space. The generalized energy conservation is similarly found for nonlinear inviscid SI (Symmetric Instability). As this energy conservation is used to study SI, it is proved that a) the linear theory fails to predict the stability in certain cases where the basic state is transitional between stability and instability; b) the initial growth of the SI perturbations can be fairly well approximated by linear theory, but the longtime nonlinear evolutions will be bounded energetically. The upper bound of available SI energy is estimated with considerations more rigorous than that of the Lagrangian parcel dynamics A further extension of the energetics to CSI shows that the nonlinear evolution of a CS.
Asymptotics of solutions for nonlocal elliptic problems in plane bounded domains

The paper is devoted to the study of asymptotic behavior of solutions for nonlocal elliptic problems in weighted spaces. We deal with the most difficult case where the support of nonlocal terms intersects with the boundary of a plane bounded domain. In this situation, a general form of the asymptotics is investigated and coefficients in the asymptotics are calculated.
Dynamics and Patterning of 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2 Subtype Receptors in JC Polyomavirus Entry

The organization and dynamics of plasma membrane receptors are a critical link in virus-receptor interactions, which finetune signaling efficiency and determine cellular responses during infection. Characterizing the mechanisms responsible for the active rearrangement and clustering of receptors may aid in developing novel strategies for the therapeutic treatment of viruses. Virus-receptor interactions are poorly understood at the nanoscale, yet they present an attractive target for the design of drugs and for the illumination of viral infection and pathogenesis. This study utilizes super-resolution microscopy and related techniques, which surpass traditional microscopy resolution limitations, to provide both a spatial and temporal assessment of the interactions of human JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) with 5-hydroxytrypamine 2 receptors (5-HT2Rs) subtypes during viral entry. JCPyV causes asymptomatic kidney infection in the majority of the population and can cause fatal brain disease, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), in immunocompromised individuals. Using Fluorescence Photoactivation Localization Microscopy (FPALM), the colocalization of JCPyV with 5-HT2 receptor subtypes (5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C) during viral attachment and viral entry was analyzed. JCPyV was found to significantly enhance the clustering of 5-HT2 receptors during entry. Cluster analysis of infected cells reveals changes in 5-HT2 receptor cluster attributes, and radial distribution function (RDF) analyses suggest a significant increase in the aggregation of JCPyV particles colocalized with 5-HT2 receptor clusters in JCPyV-infected samples. These findings provide novel insights into receptor patterning during viral entry and highlight improved technologies for the future development of therapies for JCPyV infection as well as therapies for diseases involving 5-HT2 receptors.
