GLOBAL PROPERTIES OF ROTATING NEUTRON STARS WITH QCD EQUATIONS OF STATE
Authors: Gorda Tyler 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
We numerically investigate global properties of rotating neutron stars (NSs) using the allowed band of QCD equations of state derived by Kurkela et al. This band is constrained by chiral effective theory at low densities and perturbative QCD at high densities, and is thus, in essence, a controlled constraint from first-principles physics. Previously, this band of equations of state was used to investigate non-rotating NSs only; in this work, we extend these results to any rotation frequency below the mass-shedding limit. We investigate mass–radius curves, allowed mass–frequency regions, radius–frequency curves for a typical

star, and the values of the moment of inertia of the double pulsar PSR J0737-3039A, a pulsar for which the moment of inertia may be constrained observationally in a few years. We present limits on observational data coming from these constraints, and identify values of observationally relevant parameters that would further constrain the allowed region for the QCD equation of state. We also discuss how much this region would be constrained by a measurement of the moment of inertia of the double pulsar PSR J0737-3039A.
PROTON HEATING BY PICK-UP ION DRIVEN CYCLOTRON WAVES IN THE OUTER HELIOSPHERE: HYBRID EXPANDING BOX SIMULATIONS
Authors: Hellinger Petr , Trávníček Pavel M. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Using a one-dimensional hybrid expanding box model, we investigate properties of the solar wind in the outer heliosphere. We assume a proton–electron plasma with a strictly transverse ambient magnetic field and, aside from the expansion, we take into account the influence of a continuous injection of cold pick-up protons through the charge-exchange process between the solar wind protons and hydrogen of interstellar origin. The injected cold pick-up protons form a ring distribution function, which rapidly becomes unstable, and generate Alfvén cyclotron waves. The Alfvén cyclotron waves scatter pick-up protons to a spherical shell distribution function that thickens over that time owing to the expansion-driven cooling. The Alfvén cyclotron waves heat solar wind protons in the perpendicular direction (with respect to the ambient magnetic field) through cyclotron resonance. At later times, the Alfvén cyclotron waves become parametrically unstable and the generated ion-acoustic waves heat protons in the parallel direction through Landau resonance. The resulting heating of the solar wind protons is efficient on the expansion timescale.

ABSTRACT
AE Aquarii (AE Aqr) is a cataclysmic binary hosting one of the fastest rotating (

= 33.08 s) white dwarfs (WDs) known. Based on seven years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Pass 8 data, we report on a deep search for gamma-ray emission from AE Aqr. Using X-ray observations from ASCA, XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift, Suzaku, and NuSTAR, spanning 20 years, we substantially extend and improve the spin ephemeris of AE Aqr. Using this ephemeris, we searched for gamma-ray pulsations at the spin period of the WD. No gamma-ray pulsations were detected above 3σ significance. Neither phase-averaged gamma-ray emission nor gamma-ray variability of AE Aqr is detected by Fermi LAT. We impose the most restrictive upper limit to the gamma-ray flux from AE Aqr to date:

erg cm−2 s−1 in the 100 MeV–300 GeV energy range, providing constraints on models.

ABSTRACT
We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) 850 μm continuum observations of the original Lyα Blob (LAB) in the SSA22 field at z = 3.1 (SSA22-LAB01). The ALMA map resolves the previously identified submillimeter source into three components with a total flux density of S
850 = 1.68 ± 0.06 mJy, corresponding to a star-formation rate of ∼150 M
⊙ yr−1. The submillimeter sources are associated with several faint (m ≈ 27 mag) rest-frame ultraviolet sources identified in Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) clear filter imaging (λ ≈ 5850 Å). One of these companions is spectroscopically confirmed with the Keck Multi-Object Spectrometer For Infra-Red Exploration to lie within 20 projected kpc and 250 km s−1 of one of the ALMA components. We postulate that some of these STIS sources represent a population of low-mass star-forming satellites surrounding the central submillimeter sources, potentially contributing to their growth and activity through accretion. Using a high-resolution cosmological zoom simulation of a 1013
M
⊙ halo at z = 3, including stellar, dust, and Lyα radiative transfer, we can model the ALMA+STIS observations and demonstrate that Lyα photons escaping from the central submillimeter sources are expected to resonantly scatter in neutral hydrogen, the majority of which is predicted to be associated with halo substructure. We show how this process gives rise to extended Lyα emission with similar surface brightness and morphology to observed giant LABs.
A LARGE-SCALE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF METHANOL AND OH LINE EMISSION FROM THE GALACTIC CENTER: OBSERVATIONS AND DATA
Authors: Cotton W. D. , Yusef-Zadeh F. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Class I methanol masers are collisionally pumped and are generally correlated with outflows in star-forming sites in the Galaxy. Using the Very Large Array in its A-array configuration, we present a spectral line survey to identify methanol

emission at 36.169 GHz. Over 900 pointings were used to cover a region 66′ × 13′ along the inner Galactic plane. A shallow survey of OH at 1612, 1665, 1667, and 1720 MHz was also carried out over the area covered by our methanol survey. We provide a catalog of 2240 methanol masers with narrow line-widths of ∼1 km s−1, spatial resolutions of

, and rms noises ∼20 mJy beam−1 per channel. Lower limits on the brightness temperature range from 27,000 to 10,000,000 K, showing that the emission is of non-thermal origin. We also provide a list of 23 OH (1612), 14 OH (1665), 5 OH (1667), and 5 OH (1720 MHz) masers. The origin of such a large number of methanol masers is not clear. Many methanol masers appear to be associated with infrared dark clouds, though it appears unlikely that the entire population of these masers trace the early phase of star formation in the Galactic center.

Published: November 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To compare the visualization of microaneurysms (MA) and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) versus fluorescein angiography (FA) in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Patients were prospectively recruited for same-day imaging on spectral-domain OCTA and FA. OCTA images were automatically segmented into superficial (sOCTA) and deep (dOCTA) capillary plexuses. The number of visible MAs and the FAZ area were compared between the two imaging modalities.

RESULTS:

Nineteen eyes of 10 patients were included. There was a statistically significant difference between MA counts for FA, sOCTA, and dOCTA (
P
= .002), and median MA counts were 14.5 (range: 2–43), 9.75 (range: 0–37.5), and 22.5 (range: 5.5–46.5), respectively. dOCTA showed significantly more MAs than sOCTA (
P
< .001). Although not significant statistically, dOCTA revealed more MAs than FA (
P
= .06). There was a statistically significant difference between FAZ area for FA, sOCTA, and dOCTA (
P
= .046), and median FAZ areas were 0.444 (range: 0.1–0.689), 0.224 (range: 0.335–0.806), and 0.345 (range: 0.106–0.881), respectively. FA showed a significantly larger FAZ area than sOCTA (
P
= .04).

CONCLUSIONS:
Deep plexus OCTA can better identify microaneurysms compared to either sOCTA or FA. The FAZ area appears larger on FA in contrast to OCTA of both plexuses.

De Verdun à la Kaaba ! Les pèlerinages à La Mecque des empires alliés pendant la Première Guerre mondiale
Authors: Chantre Luc 
Published: November 2016

La Révolte arabe menée en octobre 2016 depuis le Hedjaz par le chérif Ḥusayn contre l’Empire ottoman n’a pas seulement été militairement décisive dans l’évolution de la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle marque également une reprise inattendue des circulations de civils sur la mer Rouge. En effet, après deux années d’interruption pour cause de guerre, les pèlerins musulmans d’Inde et d’Afrique reprennent la route de La Mecque. Contrairement à leurs pratiques restrictives d’avant-guerre, les Français décident les premiers d’organiser un pèlerinage officiel à destination des lieux saints, tandis que les Britanniques, bientôt suivis par les Italiens, abandonnent leur ancienne politique de neutralité religieuse pour mieux chercher à imiter et concurrencer cette initiative. Il s’agit, pour les empires alliés, de manifester leur soutien à la Révolte arabe, et à ce titre le pèlerinage de 1916 assume une fonction de propagande en même temps qu’il revêt une valeur militaire et diplomatique sans précédent. Ces trois pèlerinages de guerre, en même temps qu’ils consacrent l’hégémonie britannique sur le Hedjaz, confirment aussi l’emprise croissante des empires coloniaux dans la régulation des flux du pèlerinage.
Cost effectiveness of clinical associates: A case study for the Mpumalanga province in South Africa
Authors: Hamm Joris , Bodegraven Petra Van , Bac Martin , Louw Jakobus M. 
Published: November 2016

Background: The National Department of Health of South Africa decided to start a programme to train mid-level healthcare workers, called clinical associates, as one of the measures to increase healthcare workers at district level in rural areas. Unfortunately, very little is known about the cost effectiveness of clinical associates.Aims: To determine, on a provincial level, the cost effectiveness of training and employing clinical associates and medical practitioners compared to the standard strategy of training and employing only more medical practitioners.Methods: A literature study was performed to answer several sub questions regarding the costs and effectiveness of clinical associates. The results were used to present a case study.Results: The total cost for a province to pay for the full training of a clinical associate is R 300 850. The average employment cost per year is R196 329 and for medical practitioners these costs are R 730 985 and R 559 397, respectively.Effectiveness: Clinical associates are likely to free up the time of a medical practitioner by 50–76%. They can provide the same quality of care as higher level workers, provided that they receive adequate training, support and supervision. Furthermore, they seem more willing to work in rural areas compared to medical practitioners.Conclusions: The case study showed that training and employing clinical associates is potentially a cost-effective strategy for a province to meet the increasing demand for rural healthcare workers. This strategy will only succeed when clinical associates receive adequate training, support and supervision and if the province keeps investing in them.
Diabetes and quality of life: A theoretical perspective
Authors: Verma Komal , Dadarwal Meenal 
Published: November 2016

AbstractWith changing time and lifestyle, general health of population has been drastically affected, and deteriorating quality of life. The transition from a traditional to modern lifestyle and consumption of diets rich in fat and calories combined with a high level of mental stress has compounded the problem further. Diabetes is one of the consequences of such a lifestyle change. Over the past 30 years, the status of diabetes has changed from being considered a mild disorder of the elderly to one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality affecting the youth and middle-aged people. This paper aims to present review of association between diabetes and quality of life as quality of life is considered to be one of the major factors affecting diabetes.
Clinical Response and Adverse Event Profile of Bleomycin Chemotherapy for Canine Multicentric Lymphoma

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACTAlthough canine multicentric lymphoma is initially responsive to multidrug chemotherapy, resistance and relapse create a need for novel chemotherapeutics. Bleomycin is an antitumor antibiotic with a minimal adverse event profile; though commonly used for human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, its use is poorly characterized in dogs. The purpose of this retrospective case series was to describe the clinical response and adverse event profile of systemic bleomycin for canine multicentric lymphoma (n = 10). A partial response was noted in one dog that died 24 days later due to unrelated disease. Adverse events were infrequent and limited to grade 1 gastrointestinal and grade 1 constitutional toxicity. Although clinical response was minimal, systemic bleomycin was well tolerated when administered at 0.5 U/kg. Additional studies are warranted to determine the influence of administration schedule and dose on the efficacy of bleomycin for veterinary neoplasia.

40 jaar Europa en mediation

Published: November 2016

40 years Europe and mediation
Taking the recent European Commission’s Report on the application of Mediation Directive 2008/52/EC as a starting point, the authors set out to reconstruct the pattern of ADR/mediation activities undertaken by the EU and the Council of Europe over the past 40 years. The authors conclude that the European initiatives have been conducive to a broadening and deepening of the ADR debate. Remarkable shifts can be observed in the emphasis placed by the European agencies during this period, notably a shift from emancipatory to efficiency-based arguments. The inherent coupling of private mediation and public adjudication entails risks however for each of these distinct conflict resolution strategies. The authors call for advanced research designs to generate the data needed for a genuine evidence-based policy in this domain.
Improvement of thermoelectric performance of single-wall carbon nanotubes by heavy doping: Effect of one-dimensional band multiplicity
Authors: Hayashi Daisuke , Nakai Yusuke , Kyakuno Haruka , Yamamoto Takahiro , Miyata Yasumitsu , Yanagi Kazuhiro , Maniwa Yutaka 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Doped single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films were prepared and their Seebeck coefficient (S) and electrical resistivity (ρ) were investigated as functions of carrier density. For heavy doping, a second maximum of S (S = 35 µV/K) was discovered, with its corresponding power factor, P = 85 µW/(m·K2), 6 times that of the first maximum for lightly doped films. Calculations for zigzag SWCNTs suggest that the thermoelectric performance can be effectively improved by controlling the multiplicity of the one-dimensional band and tuning the carrier density. This provides a new strategy for achieving higher performance at a lower cost than using high-purity semiconducting SWCNTs.
Full-range ultrahigh-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in 1.7 µm wavelength region for deep-penetration and high-resolution imaging of turbid tissues

Published: November 2016

Abstract
For the first time, we developed a full-range ultrahigh-resolution (UHR) spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) technique working in the 1.7 µm wavelength region. This technique allowed high-resolution, deep-tissue imaging. By using a supercontinuum source operating at a wavelength of 1.7 µm, an axial resolution of 3.6 µm in a tissue specimen was achieved. To enhance the imaging depth of UHR-SD-OCT, we performed full-range OCT imaging based on a phase modulation method. We demonstrated the three-dimensional (3D) imaging of a mouse brain with the developed system, and specific structures in the mouse brain were clearly visualized at depths up to 1.7 mm.

Published: November 2016

BackgroundLarge scale metagenomic projects aim to extract biodiversity knowledge between different environmental conditions. Current methods for comparing microbial communities face important limitations. Those based on taxonomical or functional assignation rely on a small subset of the sequences that can be associated to known organisms. On the other hand,de novomethods, that compare the whole sets of sequences, either do not scale up on ambitious metagenomic projects or do not provide precise and exhaustive results.MethodsThese limitations motivated the development of a newde novometagenomic comparative method, called Simka. This method computes a large collection of standard ecological distances by replacing species counts byk-mer counts. Simka scales-up today’s metagenomic projects thanks to a new parallelk-mer counting strategy on multiple datasets.ResultsExperiments on public Human Microbiome Project datasets demonstrate that Simka captures the essential underlying biological structure. Simka was able to compute in a few hours both qualitative and quantitative ecological distances on hundreds of metagenomic samples (690 samples, 32 billions of reads). We also demonstrate that analyzing metagenomes at thek-mer level is highly correlated with extremely precisede novocomparison techniques which rely on all-versus-all sequences alignment strategy or which are based on taxonomic profiling.
