Topological pumping in Aharonov–Bohm rings
Authors: Haug Tobias , Dumke Rainer , Kwek Leong-Chuan , Amico Luigi 
Published: October 2019

AbstractTopological Thouless pumping and Aharonov–Bohm effect are both fundamental effects enabled by the topological properties of the system. Here, we study both effects together: topological pumping of interacting particles through Aharonov–Bohm rings. This system can prepare highly entangled many-particle states, transport them via topological pumping and interfere with them, revealing a fractional flux quantum. The type of the generated state is revealed by non-trivial Aharonov–Bohm interference patterns that could be used for quantum sensing. The reflections induced by the interference result from transitions between topological bands. Specific bands allow transport with a band gap scaling as the square-root of the particle number. Our system paves a new way for a combined system of state preparation and topological protected transport.
Evidence for an Association Between Hearing Impairment and Disrupted Sleep: Scoping Review
Authors: Clarke Nathan A. , Hoare Derek J. , Killan Edward C. 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
Hearing impairment (HI) is the most common sensory impairment and may negatively impact sleep through reduced auditory input. Factors associated with HI such as anxiety regarding communication in daily life may also adversely impact an individual's sleep. Here, research on the relationship between HI and sleep disruption was catalogued using scoping review methodology.

Method
A systematic strategy was employed to search various electronic databases. This review is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review Extension.

Results
Sixteen records met inclusion criteria. Studies have investigated sleep in HI as a primary aim in noise-exposed workers or large surveys in older participants. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies report alterations to sleep architecture of potential neuroplastic origins. Studies reporting sleep as a secondary aim generally report poorer sleep in HI participants.

Conclusions
This scoping review has catalogued evidence that altered or negatively impacted sleep may be associated with HI. Potential confounding factors, mechanisms, and considerations for future research are discussed.

A 3D short-characteristics method for continuum and line scattering problems in the winds of hot stars
Authors: Hennicker L. , Puls J. , Kee N. D. , Sundqvist J. O. 
Published: October 2019

Context. Knowledge about hot, massive stars is usually inferred from quantitative spectroscopy. To analyse non-spherical phenomena, the existing 1D codes must be extended to higher dimensions, and corresponding tools need to be developed.
Aims. We present a 3D radiative transfer code that is capable of calculating continuum and line scattering problems in the winds of hot stars. By considering spherically symmetric test models, we discuss potential error sources, and indicate advantages and disadvantages by comparing different solution methods. Further, we analyse the ultra-violet (UV) resonance line formation in the winds of rapidly rotating O stars.
Methods. We consider both a (simplified) continuum model including scattering and thermal sources, and a UV resonance line transition approximated by a two-level-atom. We applied the short-characteristics (SC) method, using linear or monotonic Bézier interpolations, for which monotonicity is of prime importance, to solve the equation of radiative transfer on a non-uniform Cartesian grid. To calculate scattering dominated problems, our solution method is supplemented by an accelerated Λ-iteration scheme using newly developed non-local operators.
Results. For the spherical test models, the mean relative error of the source function is on the 5 − 20% level, depending on the applied interpolation technique and the complexity of the considered model. All calculated line profiles are in excellent agreement with corresponding 1D solutions. Close to the stellar surface, the SC methods generally perform better than a 3D finite-volume-method; however, they display specific problems in searchlight-beam tests at larger distances from the star. The predicted line profiles from fast rotating stars show a distinct behaviour as a function of rotational speed and inclination. This behaviour is tightly coupled to the wind structure and the description of gravity darkening and stellar surface distortion.
Conclusions. Our SC methods are ready to be used for quantitative analyses of UV resonance line profiles. When calculating optically thick continua, both SC methods give reliable results, in contrast to the alternative finite-volume method.

The CMD-3 detector is installed at the VEPP-2000 e+e− collider at BINP (Novosibirsk, Russia). It is a general-purpose detector, equipped with a tracking system, two crystal (CSI and BGO) calorimeters, liquid Xe calorimeter, TOF and muon systems. The main goal of experiments at CMD-3 is a study of exclusive modes of e+e−→ hadrons at energies $ \sqrt s \le $ GeV. In particular, these results provide an important input for calculation of the hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
The first round of data taking was performed in 2011–2013, when about 60 1/pb were taken in the center-of-mass (c.m.) energy range from 0.32 to 2.0 GeV. Here we present a survey of results of data analysis.
Between 2013 and 2016 the collider and the detector were upgraded. The data taking resumed by the end of 2016. In the first run after the upgrade about 50 1/pb were collected at the energy range between 1.28 and 2.007 GeV. We discuss the upgrade and the first preliminary results from the new data.

Dans ce papier est présentée la conception de coupleurs directifs microondes basés sur des guides d’ondes volumiques facilement imprimables en plastique par technologie FDM ou Polyjet©. La conception d’un coupleur en guides d’ondes croisés est abordée à la manière d’un projet sub-divisible en plusieurs phases, de la bibliographie à la mesure du dispositif une fois celui-ci imprimé. L’ensemble de ces phases étant relativement interdépendantes, il est possible de se concentrer uniquement sur l’une d’elles dans le cadre d’une séance de travaux pratiques, ou d’en sélectionner plusieurs dans le cadre d’un projet par exemple.
Dans une seconde partie, deux topologies de coupleurs hybrides se prêtant également bien à ce type de projets sont présentées, à savoir des coupleurs Short-Slot et Ladder-Type.

Published: October 2019

La communauté scientifique, dans son ensemble, se préoccupe de plus en plus des questions de déontologie et d’intégrité de la recherche. Au cours de notre travail de thèse portant sur les intérêts et les limites de l’étude des œuvres d’art premier, nous avons été amenés à réfléchir sur la place de l’intégrité scientifique dans nos recherches. Nous avons observé que celle-ci ainsi que ses manquements pouvaient impliquer différents acteurs : la communauté scientifique, mais également les communautés autochtones desquelles provenaient les œuvres que nous étudions, et la communauté du marché de l’art. Nous avons donc voulu comprendre comment un manquement à l’intégrité de la recherche pouvait être préjudiciable pour la science, mais également en affecter les différents acteurs. Pour cela, nous nous sommes intéressés à la circulation des œuvres d’art premier, et plus particulièrement à leur restitution, cette dernière faisant intervenir les différents acteurs que nous avons évoqués. Nous présentons ici une courte analyse de nos observations et quelques visées prospectives.
Dermoid sinus in the perirectal fossa of a Siamese cat with involvement of the vaginal wall
Authors: Habenbacher Bettina , Adrian Anna M. , Nelissen Pieter 
Published: October 2019

AbstractA 2.5-year-old spayed female Siamese cat was presented with a recurrent exudative wound in the right perirectal fossa. Clinical examination at presentation revealed a 1 cm long open wound with purulent discharge in the right perirectal fossa but was otherwise unremarkable. A computed tomography contrast-enhanced study showed a tracking sinus which could be traced from the right dorsolateral perianal region right up to the level of the vagina. Surgical exploration was performed from the perirectal region. The intermuscular sinus tract, which formed a cystic structure and connected to the vaginal wall, was en bloc excised. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a dermoid sinus in the perirectal fossa with vaginal infiltration. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report in the veterinary literature of the successful surgical management of a dermoid sinus in the perianal region connected to the vaginal wall in a cat.

Zusammenfassung
Gegenstand und Ziel Gewebeveränderungen lassen sich bei Überlagerungen durch Gas im Magen-Darm-Trakt oder die Rippenbegrenzung sonografisch nicht darstellen, sind dagegen in der CT gut darstellbar. Die Verknüpfung von Sonografie und CT kann eine verbesserte Aussagekraft im Vergleich zur alleinigen Sonografie schaffen und als Volumennavigation im registrierten Datensatz als Hilfsmittel eingesetzt werden. Zur Diagnosesicherung eines verdächtigen Herdes ist eine Gewebeprobe nötig, die unter sonografischer Kontrolle entnommen werden kann. Auch hier lässt sich die ortskorrekte Fusion CT/Sonografie nutzen, um durch Ausschaltung von Überlagerungen im sonografischen Bild – eine Limitation der Sonografie – Herde besser darzustellen. Ob die Fusion CT/Sonografie exakt ist und welches Registrierungsprotokoll die höchste Genauigkeit aufweist, wurde in der vorliegenden Studie untersucht.
Material und Methoden Von 16 hergestellten Modellen (10 Modelle mit Erbsen [Low-Contrast-Modell], 6 Modelle mit Holzkugeln [High-Contrast-Modell] als Rundstrukturen) wurden CT-Datensätze erstellt, anhand von 3 Protokollen der Volumennavigation fusioniert und sonografisch untersucht. Die Abweichung der Probekörper wurde gemessen.
Ergebnisse Es erfolgten 1026 Messungen der Modelle mit Erbsen und 648 Messungen der Modelle mit Holzkugeln. Bei 9,9 % (102/1026) bzw. 9,9 % (64/648) der Modelle konnte eine 100 %ige Registrierungsgenauigkeit bestimmt werden. Bei 85,4 % (876/1026) bzw. 94,1 % (610/648) lag die Abweichung der Strukturen < 5 mm und bei 98,1 % (1006/1026) bzw. 99,4 % (644/648) < 10 mm. Das Registrierungsprotokoll, bei dem alle gesetzten Referenzpunkte für die Erstellung der ortskorrekten Fusion zwischen Ultraschall- und CT-Datensatz genutzt wurden, zeigte die genauesten Fusionsergebnisse.
Schlussfolgerung Die Registrierungsprotokolle der volumennavigierten Sonografie weisen eine für Biopsien ausreichend hohe Genauigkeit bei der Fusion identischer Lokalisationen auf und stellen die Grundlage für eine verbesserte volumennavigierte Biopsie dar.

Das Nervenwurzelsyndrom beim Kleintier
Authors: Eberhardt Louise , Guevar Julien , Forterre Franck 
Published: October 2019

ZusammenfassungEine große Vielfalt an Ätiologien gilt als ursächlich für das Nervenwurzelsyndrom beim Hund. Dabei zählen der lateralisierte Bandscheibenvorfall, die Foraminalstenose sowie maligne und benigne Nervenscheidentumoren zu den wichtigsten beschriebenen Auslösern. Das klinische Bild des Nervenwurzelsyndroms zeichnet sich aus durch eine Monoparese in Verbindung mit einer fortschreitenden Lahmheit, die mit einer Schonhaltung der betroffenen Gliedmaße im Stand einhergehen kann. Obwohl die Problematik bei Klinikern gut bekannt ist, gibt es in der tiermedizinischen Literatur keinen Übersichtsartikel, der das Thema „Nervenwurzelsyndrom beim Kleintier“ spezifisch behandelt. Meist wird es lediglich als Symptom seiner potenziellen Ätiologien erwähnt, dem sog. Nervenwurzelzeichen (nerve root sign). Bei der Pathophysiologie der Nervenwurzelkompression oder -irritation spielen eine Reihe biomechanischer und biochemischer Faktoren eine Rolle, die einzeln oder im Zusammenspiel auftreten und dieselben Veränderungen hervorrufen können. Im Zentrum der Pathophysiologie des Syndroms scheinen Änderungen der Mikrozirkulation zu stehen. Diese Mikrozirkulationsstörungen ziehen nicht nur pathomorphologische Veränderungen, wie Ödembildung, Demyelinisation und Axonuntergang, nach sich, sondern leiten auch am Ort der Schädigung sowie im zentralen Nervengewebe eine Kaskade an Reaktionen ein. So kommt es zur Ausschüttung verschiedener Neuropeptide, zur Modulation der Nervenexzitabilität und zur Impulsweiterleitung. Unterschiedliche Pathomechanismen führen somit vielfach zu einem einheitlichen Schädigungsbild, was eine nachträgliche Aufschlüsselung in die ursprünglich auslösenden Faktoren erheblich erschwert. Die Antwort des Körpers auf diese einwirkenden Faktoren gibt den Ausschlag dafür, ob tatsächlich ein Nervenwurzelsyndrom entsteht. Eine Behebung der Grundursache, falls sie gefunden wird, sowie eine individuelle und multimodale Schmerztherapie scheinen beim Nervenwurzelsyndrom die erfolgreichsten therapeutischen Maßnahmen zu sein.

Abstract
Introduction Medulloblastoma is a common embryonal childhood tumor predominantly seen in children (1-3). Medulloblastoma can be classified in different histological and molecular subgroups, each of them characterized by discrete clinical presentation, demographic features, prognosis, and outcome. This may help in patient stratification, treatment strategy, design, and implementation of the targeted therapy.
Aims and Objectives We aimed to study the patients included in the study with regard to variables such as age, sex, clinical features, and various modes of management in our hospital. We also studied histological and molecular variations in the group.
Materials and Methods A prospective study was carried out in the Department of Neurosurgery, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, from January 2016 to August 2017. Sixty-five patients diagnosed as medulloblastoma were included in the study. We studied the spectrum of clinical findings, radiological and pathologic characteristics, modes of surgical management, and postoperative complications. Study of molecular biology was done in the Department of Bioengineering, Gauhati University.
Results and Observation Results and observations were obtained based on the age and radiological, pathological, histological, and molecular variants.
Conclusion Medulloblastoma is seen more in pediatric age group and males. Classical variant was the most common type with mostly vermian location followed by desmoplastic variant which was paravermian to lateral in location. Postoperatively, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have proved very useful. Statistical analysis suggested a significant correlation between age groups and complications and also between histological types and associated complications. P53 mutation was noted in a section of the study population but majority cases did not show mutations in selected genes.

Abstract
Introduction An attractive or pleasing smile enhances the acceptance of an individual in the society by improving interpersonal relationships. In this new era of social media, people are more concerned about their smile; hence, smile esthetics has become the primary objective of orthodontic treatment. It is seen that various smile parameters change with age and gender.
Aim The aim of the study was to evaluate various smile parameters in nongrowing patients using photographic analysis.
Materials and Methods The sample comprised photographs of 50 subjects (8 males, 42 females) taken in natural head position and then divided into two age groups: Group I (25 subjects, aged 18–20 years) and Group II (25 subjects, aged 23–29 years). The various parameters were analyzed using Adobe Photoshop software (version CS 6; Adobe System Inc., California, United States): upper lip and lower lip lengths during rest and smiling, smile index, buccal corridor, upper and lower lip thickness, interlabial gap, incisal display, widest visible maxillary display, and intercommissural width.
Results The results showed that lower lip length at rest and smiling, interlabial gap, incisal display, inner commissure width, and widest visible maxillary display were increased, whereas upper lip length both at rest and smiling, upper and lower lip thickness, outer commissure width, smile index, and buccal corridor were decreased with age. Statistically significant sex-related differences were found in upper lip length at rest and lower lip length both at rest and smiling.
Conclusion Orthodontic treatment must incorporate various esthetic elements of smile to achieve desirable results.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Introduction The position of the incisors is considered as a key landmark in treatment planning to provide the patient with the most attractive and well-balanced smile. It is important to quantify the relationship between anteroposterior position of incisors to overlying soft tissue structures.
Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate cephalometric changes on the soft tissue profile of the adult patients after first premolar extraction.
Materials and Methods The study included pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalograms of 24 adult patients (Class II div 1 malocclusion and Class I bimaxillary protrusion) treated with preadjusted edgewise appliance following first premolar extractions. Seven angular and twelve linear soft tissue parameters were evaluated. Six hard tissue parameters were evaluated.
Results All the linear and angular measurements pertaining to soft tissue and hard tissue showed significant changes. When posttreatment values were compared with pretreatment values, certain parameters (nasolabial angle, Z angle, UL and LL length, and UL strain) were found to be increased, whereas other parameters showed decrease in their posttreatment values. The tissue alteration showed statistically significant increase in nasolabial angle, Z angle, and decrease in soft tissue profile and interlabial gap.
Conclusion Facial profile improvement can be enhanced by dentoalveolar and soft tissue retraction following premolar extraction.

Published: October 2019

AbstractWe present a case of transverse myelitis caused by Mycoplasma pneumonia. Clinical findings were muscle weakness and decreased deep tendon reflexes of the lower extremities, total sensory loss below T8 level, including loss of superficial cutaneous abdominal reflexes bilaterally, and urinary and stool incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed segmental edema extending from the cervical to the lumbar cord. Serological criteria were used for the diagnosis of acute infection caused by M. pneumonia. The patient recovered completely after a 15-day treatment of intravenous clarithromycin accompanied by pulsed methylprednisolone. This report emphasizes that myelitis is one of the most severe central nervous system complications related to M. pneumonia infections, and early treatment helps to avoid complications.
How do technological properties influence user affordance of wearable technologies?
Authors: Shin Donghee 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The Internet of things (IoT) affords people plenty of opportunities and a higher quality of life as well as drives
a huge amount of data. By drawing on the concept of affordances, this study examines the user experience of personal informatics
focusing on the technological and affective nature of affordance. A multi-mixed approach is used by combining qualitative methods
and a quantitative survey. Results of the qualitative methods revealed a series of factors that related to the affordance of
personal informatics, whereas results of the user model confirmed a significant role for connectivity, control, and synchronicity
affordance regarding their underlying link to other variables, namely, expectation, confirmation, and satisfaction. The
experiments showed that users’ affordances are greatly influenced by personal traits with interactivity tendency. The findings
imply the embodied cognition process of personal informatics in which technological qualities are shaped by users’ perception,
traits, and context. The results establish a foundation for wearable technologies through a heuristic quality assessment tool from
a user embodied cognitive process. They confirm the validity and utility of applying affordances to the design of IoT as a useful
concept, as well as prove that the optimum mix of affordances is crucial to the success or failure of IoT design.
