Gifts from orthodontists to general dentists
Authors: Al-Mahdi Ammar , Firestone Allen R , Beck Frank , Fischbach Henry 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine how often general dentists receive gifts from orthodontists, the value and number of the gifts they receive, and how they perceive the motivation behind the gift.
Materials and Methods: This was a questionnaire-based study. A questionnaire was constructed and tested for validity and reliability. An electronic version of survey was sent via email to 1300 general dentists.
Results: The validity and reliability of the survey was confirmed. Two hundred fifty-four valid responses were received (20%). Eighty-five percent of responding general practitioners reported that they received gifts from an orthodontist. Almost 100% reported that they referred patients to orthodontists. About one-third of the responding general practitioners reported that their office provided orthodontic care. There were statistically significant correlations between the number of annual patient referrals the general practitioners reported making and the number and value of the gifts they received from the orthodontists. Female general practitioners reported receiving a higher number of gifts of greater total value than male practitioners. General practitioners who reported providing orthodontic treatment did not differ from those who did not in the number of referrals they made annually and the number and value of the gifts they received. Quality of care was the most common reason general practitioners reported for their referral to an orthodontist. Forty-four percent of the responders reported that they received discounted orthodontic treatment.
Conclusions: General practitioners refer patients to orthodontists and receive gifts from them. The number and value of the gifts reflects the number of referrals they make.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate perioperative morbidity and outcome in dogs and cats undergoing esophageal surgery.
DESIGN Retrospective case series.
ANIMALS 63 client-owned dogs and 9 client-owned cats.
PROCEDURES Medical records of dogs and cats that underwent esophageal surgery were reviewed for information on signalment, history, results of preoperative diagnostic testing, condition treated, details of surgery, intraoperative complications, and postoperative complications. Long-term follow-up data were obtained via veterinarian and client telephone conversations. The relationship between complications and survival to hospital discharge was evaluated by means of regression analysis.
RESULTS The most common indication for surgical intervention was an esophageal foreign body in dogs (50/63 [79%]) and esophageal stricture in cats (3/9). Complications were documented in 54% (34/63) of dogs and 3 of 9 cats. The most common immediate postoperative complications were respiratory in nature (9 dogs, 1 cat). Partial esophagectomy and resection with anastomosis were significantly associated with the development of immediate postoperative complications in dogs. The most common delayed postoperative complications were persistent regurgitation (7 dogs) and esophageal stricture formation (3 dogs, 1 cat). For dogs, a mass lesion and increasing lesion size were significantly associated with the development of delayed postoperative complications. Six dogs (10%) and 1 cat died or were euthanized prior to discharge, and pneumomediastinum and leukopenia were negative prognostic factors for dogs being discharged from the hospital.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results of this study suggested that the short-term prognosis for dogs and cats that survive surgery for treatment of esophageal lesions is favorable, with 90% of patients discharged from the hospital (57/63 dogs; 8/9 cats). However, dogs treated for more extensive esophageal lesions as well as those undergoing esophagectomy or resection and anastomosis were more likely to develop postoperative complications.
Randomized clinical trial of trapezius squeezing test and jaw thrust as optimal indicators for Laryngeal mask airway insertion in adults under propofol anesthesia
Authors: Khanal Sushil , Shrestha Bibhush , Amatya Roshana , Marhatta Moda Nath 
Published: September 2016

Background: Laryngeal mask airway insertion requires a certain depth of anesthesia that blunts the airway reflexes. We compared the effectiveness of the trapezius squeezing test with that of the jaw thrust test as clinical indicators of adequate condition for laryngeal mask airway insertion in adults under propofol anesthesia.Methods: In this randomized study, seventy adult patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia maintained with laryngeal mask airway were randomly allocated to the group T (trapezius squeezing, n = 35) or the group J (jaw thrust, n = 35). The laryngeal mask airway was inserted immediately after the loss of response to trapezius squeezing or jaw thrust. We recorded successful and unsuccessful attempts. An unsuccessful attempt was defined as development of coughing, SPO2 < 90%, body movements during or within one minute of laryngeal mask airway insertion and failed insertion of laryngeal mask airway. Preparation time for laryngeal mask airway insertion, blood pressure, and heart rate were recorded.Results: The incidence of successful attempts was significantly higher in the group T than in the group J (p-value = 0.002). The time taken for preparation and insertion of laryngeal mask airway, arterial blood pressure and heart rate were comparable in both the groups.Conclusion: This study has demonstrated that the trapezius squeezing test is a superior indicator of an adequate condition for laryngeal mask airway insertion compared to the jaw thrust test in adults.

Published: September 2016

Background: I-gel, the novel Supraglottic airway device, is easier to insert, has improved stability after insertion with reduced tissue compression.The study aims to compare the efficacy of I-gel with classic Laryngeal Mask Airway in the paediatric population.Methods: A randomised parallel group study was done in Department of Anesthesiology, Kanti Children Hospital, Kathmandu for a period of three months. I gel and classic LMA was compared based on leak airway pressure, time of insertion and ease of insertion.Results: Age and weight are comparable among groups. Compared to cLMA, I-gel provides a better leak pressure seal (16.40+-3.42 vs. 23.11+- 6.17 cm of H2O, p 0.027), faster time of insertion (19.42+-4.40 vs. 29.84+-7.70 seconds, p-0.02) and similar ease of insertion (p-0.571).Conclusions: I-gel compared to classic Laryngeal Mask Airway provides better resistance to leak airway pressure, faster time of insertion with comparable ease of insertion.
Russia, State Capitalism and Arctic Degradation
Authors: Josephson Paul R. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The leaders of the USSR actively pursued Arctic exploration, settlement and resource exploitation. Working with scientists, engineers, settlers and local people, and using gulag labourers, they created the most urban Arctic environment in the world that focused on extractive industries – oil, gas, nickel, platinum, coal and others. Owing to a centrally-planned economy, forced settlement and unwavering determination to harness resources, they faced the constant threat of industrial accidents and pollution-borne illnesses; epidemiological surveys reveal significant life expectancy and infant mortality impacts. The break-up of the USSR left Arctic regions without the extensive subsidies of the Soviet era. But under Vladimir Putin, Russia has again determined to force Arctic development in support of state power. This essay will examine continuity and change in the efforts of Russian leaders from Stalin to Putin to develop rich Arctic resources and establish urban settlements and military bases across the Arctic Circle. It will consider the human and environmental costs of the state-sponsored effort, as well as fledgling efforts at remediation of persistent pollution and social problems.
CHANDRA OBSERVES THE END OF AN ERA IN SN 1987A

Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Updated imaging and photometric results from Chandra observations of SN 1987A, covering the last 16 years, are presented. We find that the 0.5–2 keV light curve has remained constant at ∼8 × 10−12 erg s−1 cm−2 since 9500 days, with the 3–8 keV light curve continuing to increase until at least 10,000 days. The expansion rate of the ring is found to be energy dependent, such that after day 6000 the ring expands faster in the 2–10 keV band than it does at energies <2 keV. Images show a reversal of the east–west asymmetry between 7000 and 8000 days after the explosion. The latest images suggest the southeastern side of the equatorial ring (ER) is beginning to fade. Consistent with the latest optical and infrared results, our Chandra analysis indicates the blast wave is now leaving the dense ER, which marks the beginning of a major change in the evolutionary phase of the supernova remnant 1987A.

ABSTRACT
We build a background cluster candidate catalog from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) using our detection algorithm RedGOLD. The NGVS covers 104 deg2 of the Virgo cluster in the

-bandpasses to a depth of g ∼ 25.7 mag (5σ). Part of the survey was not covered or has shallow observations in the r band. We build two cluster catalogs: one using all bandpasses, for the fields with deep r-band observations (∼20 deg2), and the other using four bandpasses (

) for the entire NGVS area. Based on our previous Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey W1 studies, we estimate that both of our catalogs are ∼100% (∼70%) complete and ∼80% pure, at z ≤ 0.6 (z ≲ 1), for galaxy clusters with masses of M ≳ 1014
M
⊙. We show that when using four bandpasses, though the photometric redshift accuracy is lower, RedGOLD detects massive galaxy clusters up to z ∼ 1 with completeness and purity similar to the five-band case. This is achieved when taking into account the bias in the richness estimation, which is ∼40% lower at 0.5 ≤ z < 0.6 and ∼20% higher at 0.6 < z < 0.8, with respect to the five-band case. RedGOLD recovers all the X-ray clusters in the area with mass M
500 > 1.4 × 1014
M
⊙ and 0.08 < z < 0.5. Because of our different cluster richness limits and the NGVS depth, our catalogs reach lower masses than the published redMaPPer cluster catalog over the area, and we recover ∼90%–100% of its detections.
EQUILIBRIUM SEQUENCES AND GRAVITATIONAL INSTABILITY OF ROTATING ISOTHERMAL RINGS
Authors: Kim Woong-Tae , Moon Sanghyuk 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Nuclear rings at the centers of barred galaxies exhibit strong star formation activities. They are thought to undergo gravitational instability when they are sufficiently massive. We approximate them as rigidly rotating isothermal objects and investigate their gravitational instability. Using a self-consistent field method, we first construct their equilibrium sequences specified by two parameters: α corresponding to the thermal energy relative to gravitational potential energy, and

measuring the ellipticity or ring thickness. Unlike in the incompressible case, not all values of

yield an isothermal equilibrium, and the range of

for such equilibria shrinks with decreasing α. The density distributions in the meridional plane are steeper for smaller α, and well approximated by those of infinite cylinders for slender rings. We also calculate the dispersion relations of non-axisymmetric modes in rigidly rotating slender rings with angular frequency Ω0 and central density

. Rings with smaller α are found more unstable with a larger unstable range of the azimuthal mode number. The instability is completely suppressed by rotation when Ω0 exceeds the critical value. The critical angular frequency is found to be almost constant at

for α ≳ 0.01 and increases rapidly for smaller α. We apply our results to a sample of observed star-forming rings and confirm that rings without a noticeable azimuthal age gradient of young star clusters are indeed gravitationally unstable.
SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS OF NEUTRON STAR MASSES AND RADII FROM THERMONUCLEAR X-RAY BURSTS. III. ABSOLUTE FLUX CALIBRATION
Authors: Güver Tolga , Özel Feryal , Marshall Herman , Psaltis Dimitrios , Guainazzi Matteo , Díaz-Trigo Maria 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Many techniques for measuring neutron star radii rely on absolute flux measurements in the X-rays. As a result, one of the fundamental uncertainties in these spectroscopic measurements arises from the absolute flux calibrations of the detectors being used. Using the stable X-ray burster, GS 1826–238, and its simultaneous observations by Chandra HETG/ACIS-S and RXTE/PCA as well as by XMM-Newton EPIC-pn and RXTE/PCA, we quantify the degree of uncertainty in the flux calibration by assessing the differences between the measured fluxes during bursts. We find that the RXTE/PCA and the Chandra gratings measurements agree with each other within their formal uncertainties, increasing our confidence in these flux measurements. In contrast, XMM-Newton EPIC-pn measures 14.0 ± 0.3% less flux than the RXTE/PCA. This is consistent with the previously reported discrepancy with the flux measurements of EPIC-pn, compared with EPIC MOS1, MOS2, and ACIS-S detectors. We also show that any intrinsic time-dependent systematic uncertainty that may exist in the calibration of the satellites has already been implicity taken into account in the neutron star radius measurements.

ABSTRACT
The determination of atmospheric structure and molecular abundances of planetary atmospheres via spectroscopy involves direct comparisons between models and data. While varying in sophistication, most model spectra comparisons fundamentally assume one-dimensional (1D) model physics. However, knowledge from general circulation models and of solar system planets suggests that planetary atmospheres are inherently three-dimensional in their structure and composition. We explore the potential biases resulting from standard “1D” assumptions within a Bayesian atmospheric retrieval framework. Specifically, we show how the assumption of a single 1D thermal profile can bias our interpretation of the thermal emission spectrum of a hot Jupiter atmosphere that is composed of two thermal profiles. We retrieve spectra of unresolved model planets as observed with a combination of the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3)+Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) as well as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) under varying differences in the two thermal profiles. For WFC3+IRAC, there is a significantly biased estimate of CH4 abundance using a 1D model when the contrast is 80%. For JWST, two thermal profiles are required to adequately interpret the data and estimate the abundances when contrast is greater than 40%. We also apply this preliminary concept to the recent WFC3+IRAC phase curve data of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b. We see similar behavior as present in our simulated data: while the

abundance determination is robust, CH4 is artificially well-constrained to incorrect values under the 1D assumption. Our work demonstrates the need to evaluate model assumptions in order to extract meaningful constraints from atmospheric spectra and motivates exploration of optimal observational setups.
A GIANT LYα NEBULA IN THE CORE OF AN X-RAY CLUSTER AT Z = 1.99: IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY ENERGY INJECTION

ABSTRACT
We present the discovery of a giant ≳100 kpc Lyα nebula detected in the core of the X-ray emitting cluster CL J1449+0856 at z = 1.99 through Keck/LRIS narrow-band imaging. This detection extends the known relation between Lyα nebulae and overdense regions of the universe to the dense core of a 5–7 × 1013 M
⊙ cluster. The most plausible candidates to power the nebula are two Chandra-detected AGN host cluster members, while cooling from the X-ray phase and cosmological cold flows are disfavored primarily because of the high Lyα to X-ray luminosity ratio (

, ≳10–1000 times higher than in local cool-core clusters) and by current modeling. Given the physical conditions of the Lyα-emitting gas and the possible interplay with the X-ray phase, we argue that the Lyα nebula would be short-lived (≲10 Myr) if not continuously replenished with cold gas at a rate of ≳1000 M
⊙ yr−1. We investigate the possibility that cluster galaxies supply the required gas through outflows and we show that their total mass outflow rate matches the replenishment necessary to sustain the nebula. This scenario directly implies the extraction of energy from galaxies and its deposition in the surrounding intracluster medium (ICM), as required to explain the thermodynamic properties of local clusters. We estimate an energy injection of the order of

per particle in the ICM over a 2 Gyr interval. In our baseline calculation, AGNs provide up to 85% of the injected energy and two-thirds of the mass, while the rest is supplied by supernovae-driven winds.
A NUMERICAL MODEL OF PARSEC-SCALE SSC MORPHOLOGIES AND THEIR RADIO EMISSION
Authors: Richter S. , Spanier F. 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
In current models for jets of active galactic nuclei and their emission a shortcoming in the description and understanding of the connection between the largest and smallest scales exists. In this work we present a spatially resolved synchrotron self-Compton model extended to parsec scales, which opens the possibility of probing the connections between the radio and high-energy properties. We simulate an environment that leads to Fermi-I acceleration of leptonic particles and includes the full time dependence of this process. Omitting the restriction of a finite downstream region, we find that the spectral energy distribution produced by the accelerated particles strongly depends on their radial confinement behind the shock. The requirement, for both the restriction of high-energy emission to a small region around the shock and the production of a flat radio spectrum, is an initial linear increase of the radius immediately behind the shock, which then slows down with increasing distance from the shock. A good representation of the data for the blazar Mrk 501 is achieved by a parameterized log function. The prediction for the shape of the radio blob is given by the flux distribution with respect to shock distance.
Formes et enjeux de l’hybridité dans deux réécritures contemporaines du mythe de Don Juan : Dom Juan ou le Festin de Pierre de M. Bluwal et L’Ambigu de R. Topor
Authors: Gournay Aurélia 
Published: September 2016

Les réécritures du mythe de Don Juan illustrent parfaitement, grâce à l’intertextualité, la notion d’hybridité dialogique. La transposition du canevas mythique au cinéma ajoute, quant à elle, une hybridité générique puisque les films multiplient les références à la littérature et à la critique donjuanesques et relèvent parfois de genres hybrides comme le film-opéra ou le théâtre cinématographié. Appartenant à ce second genre, le Dom Juan de Marcel Bluwal illustre ces deux formes d’hybridité : totalement fidèle à la pièce de Molière, le téléfilm parvient cependant à en infléchir le sens, par l’utilisation des ressources cinématographiques. La pièce de Roland Topor prend plus de libertés par rapport au scénario mythique mais s’enferme dans un genre rigide : le théâtre monologal, dont l’auteur se plaît à repousser toutes les limites. L’originalité de la pièce réside également dans l’ajout d’un questionnement identitaire et de genre : Don Juan devient un personnage hybride, qui découvre sa moitié féminine et se laisse envahir par elle.
Performer Proust : Locke’s Way de Donigan Cumming et La dernière bande de Samuel Beckett
Authors: Blanc Florence Le 
Published: September 2016

Donigan Cumming est un artiste dont le travail s’inscrit dans différents champs disciplinaires. En 2003, il réalise le film Locke’s Way avec l’intention de produire sa propre Recherche du temps perdu, ralliant simultanément la performance, la vidéo et la photographie. Or, quarante-cinq ans avant Cumming, Samuel Beckett est également inspiré par À la recherche du temps perdu lorsqu’il écrit la pièce La dernière bande. Puisque Donigan Cumming revendique depuis ses débuts l’influence de Samuel Beckett dans son approche performative de la vidéo, il s’avère peu étonnant de constater que les deux œuvres comportent plusieurs parallèles permettant ainsi de révéler d’autres parcelles de la portée interdisciplinaire qu’aura eue Marcel Proust sur l’interprétation autofictionnelle de la matière personnelle. Si, d’une part, l’étude de Locke’s Way permet d’examiner comment la démarche de Cumming, conjuguée entre différentes formes de langages, donne lieu à une œuvre dont l’hybridité s’avère plurielle, sa mise en parallèle avec La dernière bande permet également de rendre compte des différents croisements qu’occasionne ce passage de l’influence proustienne par-delà le théâtre, la vidéo, la photographie et la performance.
