description: We detected the spin polarization due to charge flow in the spin non-degenerate surface state of a three dimensional topological insulator by means of an all-electrical method. The charge current in the bulk-insulating topological insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3 (BSTS) was injected/extracted through a ferromagnetic electrode made of Ni80Fe20, and an unusual current-direction-dependent magnetoresistance gives evidence for the appearance of spin polarization which leads to a spin-dependent resistance at the BSTS/Ni80Fe20 interface. In contrast, our control experiment on Bi2Se3 gave null result. These observations demonstrate the importance of the Fermi-level control for the electrical detection of the spin polarization in topological insulators.

description: We propose and analyze the terahertz (THz) detectors based on a gated graphene p-i-n (GPIN) field-effect transistor (FET) structure. The reverse-biased i-region between the gates plays the role of the electrons and holes injectors exhibiting nonlinear $I-V$ characteristics due to the Zener-Klein tunneling. This region enables the THz signal rectification, which provides their detection. The gated regions serve as the electron and hole reservoirs and the THz resonant plasma cavities. The resonant excitation of the electron and hole plasmonic oscillations results in a substantial increase in the THz detector responsivity at the signal frequency close to the plasma frequency and its harmonics. Due to the specifics of the i-region AC conductance frequency dependence, associated with the transit-time effects, the GPIN-FET response at the frequency, corresponding to the excitation of a higher plasmonic mode, can be stronger than for the fundamental mode. The GPIN-FETs can exhibit fairly high responsivity at room temperatures. Lowering of the latter can result in its further enhancement due to weakening of the carrier momentum relaxation.

description: As of writing this paper, COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) has spread to more than 220 countries and territories. Following the outbreak, the pandemic's seriousness has made people more active on social media, especially on the microblogging platforms such as Twitter and Weibo. The pandemic-specific discourse has remained on-trend on these platforms for months now. Previous studies have confirmed the contributions of such socially generated conversations towards situational awareness of crisis events. The early forecasts of cases are essential to authorities to estimate the requirements of resources needed to cope with the outgrowths of the virus. Therefore, this study attempts to incorporate the public discourse in the design of forecasting models particularly targeted for the steep-hill region of an ongoing wave. We propose a sentiment-involved topic-based latent variables search methodology for designing forecasting models from publicly available Twitter conversations. As a use case, we implement the proposed methodology on Australian COVID-19 daily cases and Twitter conversations generated within the country. Experimental results: (i) show the presence of latent social media variables that Granger-cause the daily COVID-19 confirmed cases, and (ii) confirm that those variables offer additional prediction capability to forecasting models. Further, the results show that the inclusion of social media variables introduces 48.83--51.38% improvements on RMSE over the baseline models. We also release the large-scale COVID-19 specific geotagged global tweets dataset, MegaGeoCOV, to the public anticipating that the geotagged data of this scale would aid in understanding the conversational dynamics of the pandemic through other spatial and temporal contexts.

description: Objective We examined patient and treating physician (general practitioners, urologists, and [uro]gynecologists) preferences for oral pharmacotherapy (antimuscarinics and beta-3 adrenoceptor agonists) for overactive bladder to gain a deeper understanding of which attributes drive their treatment decision-making and to quantify to what extent. Research design and methods Two separate discrete choice experiments were developed and validated using the input of patients and physicians. The patient experiment contained the following attributes: micturition frequency, incontinence, nocturia, urgency, dry mouth, constipation, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure. The physician experiment contained two additional attributes: coping and atrial fibrillation. Both were fielded in five European countries. To allow for preference heterogeneity, utility functions were estimated using a mixed multinomial logit model. Results A total of 442 patient and 318 physician responses were analyzed. Patients ranked the attributes based on their largest potential impact on treatment value as follows: incontinence, nocturia, risk of an increased heart rate, urgency, frequency, risk of increased blood pressure, risk of constipation, and risk of dry mouth; and physicians as follows: incontinence, urgency, nocturia, frequency, risk of dry mouth, coping, risk of increased heart rate, risk of increased blood pressure, risk of atrial fibrillation, and risk of constipation. Conclusion and limitations In their valuations, physicians put more emphasis on increasing benefits, whereas patients put more emphasis on limiting risks of side effects. Another contrast that emerged was that patients’ valuations of side effects were found to be fairly insensitive to the presented risk levels (with the exception of risk of dry mouth), whereas physicians’ evaluated all side effects in a risk-level dependent manner. The obtained utility functions can be used to predict whether, to what extent, and for which reasons patients and physicians would choose one oral pharmacotherapy over another, as well as to advance shared decision-making.

description: Οι περισσότερες εγκληματικές συμπεριφορές, κρύβονται κάτω από μια ομπρέλα, μία από αυτές είναι και η σεξουαλική κακοποίηση ανηλίκων, ένα φαινόμενο που διαρκώς αυξάνεται και εμφανίζεται με ποικίλους τρόπους. Θίγοντας το έννομο αγαθό της γενετήσιας ελευθερίας ή στοχεύοντας σε μια άνευ όρων εκμετάλλευση της γενετήσιας ζωής του ανήλικου, σε κάθε περίπτωση όμως κανείς δεν μπορεί να παραβλέψει το γεγονός ότι προσβάλλεται η αξιοπρέπεια του παιδιού, δεχόμενο τις συνέπειες που συνεπάγεται αυτή η πράξη, επηρεάζοντας την ψυχική και τ\συναισθηματική του υγεία. Το 2006, στη χώρα μας αλλά και διεθνώς, αναγνωρίστηκε η προσέλκυση ανηλίκων μέσω διαδικτύου, με σκοπό την σεξουαλική μεταχείριση τους. Η περίπτωση αυτή είναι γνωστή στη ξένη βιβλιογραφία ως on line grooming, αναπτύσσεται με γρήγορους ρυθμούς και προστάζει την δημιουργία μηχανισμών πρόληψης και καταστολής του αδικήματος. Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία προσπαθεί να προσεγγίσει το έγκλημα του on line grooming, σε Ελλάδα και Κύπρο, καθώς και το νομοθετικό πλαίσιο που έχουν οι δύο χώρες για την νομική υπεράσπιση του θύματος. Η ανάγκη να προστατευτεί το έννομο αγαθό της ανηλικότητας, γίνεται έντονη στην εποχή μας, που η παιδική κακοποίηση έχει πάρει μεγάλες διαστάσεις.
description: Most criminal behaviors are hidden under an umbrella, one of them is the sexual abuse of minors, a phenomenon that is constantly increasing and appears in a variety of ways. Infringing on the legal good of sexual freedom or aiming at an unconditional exploitation of the sexual life of the minor, in any case no one can overlook the fact that the dignity of the child is violated, accepting the consequences of this act, affecting the mental and his emotional health. In 2006, in our country but also internationally, the attraction of minors via the internet, with the aim of their sexual treatment, was recognized. This case is known in the foreign literature as online grooming, it is developing at a fast pace and requires the creation of mechanisms to prevent and suppress the crime. This specific work tries to approach the crime of online grooming, in Greece and Cyprus, as well as the legislative framework that the two countries have for the legal defense of the victim. The need to protect the legal good of minors becomes intense in our time, when child abuse has reached great proportions.
A non-local magneto-curvature instability in a differentially rotating disk

description: A global mode is shown to be unstable to non-axisymmetric perturbations in a differentially rotating Keplerian disk containing either vertical or azimuthal magnetic fields. In an unstratified cylindrical disk model, using both global eigenvalue stability analysis and linear global initial-value simulations, it is demonstrated that this instability dominates at strong magnetic field where local standard MRI becomes stable. Unlike the standard MRI mode, which is concentrated in the high flow shear region, these distinct global modes (with low azimuthal mode numbers) are extended in the global domain and are Alfvén continuum driven unstable modes. As its mode structure and relative dominance over MRI is inherently determined by the global spatial curvature as well as the flow shear in the presence of magnetic field, we call it the magneto-curvature (magneto-spatial-curvature) instability. Consistent with the linear analysis, as the field strength is increased in the nonlinear simulations, a transition from a MRI-driven turbulence to a state dominated by global non-axisymmetric modes is obtained. This global instability could therefore be a source of nonlinear transport in accretion disks at higher magnetic field than predicted by local models.

description: In this paper, we study congruences on sums of products of binomial coefficients that can be proved by using properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We give special attention to polynomial congruences containing Catalan numbers, second-order Catalan numbers, the sequence (\seqnum{A176898}) $S_n=\frac{{6n\choose 3n}{3n\choose 2n}}{2{2n\choose n}(2n+1)},$ and the binomial coefficients ${3n\choose n}$ and ${4n\choose 2n}$. As an application, we address several conjectures of Z.\ W.\ Sun on congruences of sums involving $S_n$ and we prove a cubic residuacity criterion in terms of sums of the binomial coefficients ${3n\choose n}$ conjectured by Z.\ H.\ Sun.
Modular spectral triples and deformed Fredholm modules

description: In the setting of non-type $\ty{II_1}$ representations, we propose a definition of {\it deformed Fredholm module} $\big[D_\ct|D_\ct|^{-1}\,,\,{\bf\cdot}\,\big]_\ct$ for a modular spectral triple $\ct$, where $D_\ct$ is the deformed Dirac operator. $D_\ct$ is assumed to be invertible for the sake of simplicity, and its domain is an "essential" operator system $\ce_\ct$. According to such a definition, we obtain $\big[D_\ct|D_\ct|^{-1}\,,\,{\bf\cdot}\,\big]_\ct=|D_\ct|^{-1}d_\ct(\,{\bf\cdot}\,)+d_\ct(\,{\bf\cdot}\,)|D_\ct|^{-1}$, where $d_\ct$ is the deformed derivation associated to $D_\ct$. Since the "quantum differential" $1/|D_\ct|$ appears in a symmetric position, such a definition of Fredholm module differs from the usual one even in the undeformed case, that is in the tracial case. Therefore, it seems to be more suitable for the investigation of noncommutative manifolds in which the nontrivial modular structure might play a crucial role. We show that all models in \cite{FS} of non-type $\ty{II_1}$ representations of noncommutative 2-tori indeed provide modular spectral triples, and in addition deformed Fredholm modules according to the definition proposed in the present paper. Since the detailed knowledge of the spectrum of the Dirac operator plays a fundamental role in spectral geometry, we provide a characterisation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the deformed Dirac operator $D_\ct$ in terms of the periodic solutions of a particular class of eigenvalue Hill equations.

description: We discuss a detailed study of the variation of shear viscosity, $η$, with temperature and baryon chemical potential within the framework of Polyakov$-$Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model. $η$ is found to depend strongly on the spectral width of the quasi-particles present in the model. The variation of $η$ across the phase diagram has distinctive features for different kinds of transitions. These variations have been used to study the possible location of the Critical End Point (CEP), and cross-checked with similar studies of variation of specific heat. Finally using a parameterization of freeze-out surface in heavy-ion collision experiments, the variation of shear viscosity to entropy ratio has also been discussed as a function of the center of mass energy of collisions.

description: We present a time change construction of affine processes with state-space $\mathbb{R}_+^m\times \mathbb{R}^n$. These processes were systematically studied in (Duffie, Filipović and Schachermayer, 2003) since they contain interesting classes of processes such as Lévy processes, continuous branching processes with immigration, and of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type. The construction is based on a (basically) continuous functional of a multidimensional Lévy process which implies that limit theorems for Lévy processes (both almost sure and in distribution) can be inherited to affine processes. The construction can be interpreted as a multiparameter time change scheme or as a (random) ordinary differential equation driven by discontinuous functions. In particular, we propose approximation schemes for affine processes based on the Euler method for solving the associated discontinuous ODEs, which are shown to converge.

description: Bistable mechanical vibration is observed in a cavity magnomechanical system, which consists of a microwave cavity mode, a magnon mode, and a mechanical vibration mode of a ferrimagnetic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) sphere. The bistability manifests itself in both the mechanical frequency and linewidth under a strong microwave drive field, which simultaneously activates three different kinds of nonlinearities, namely, magnetostriction, magnon self-Kerr, and magnon-phonon cross-Kerr nonlinearities. The magnon-phonon cross-Kerr nonlinearity is first predicted and measured in magnomechanics. The system enters a regime where Kerr-type nonlinearities strongly modify the conventional cavity magnomechanics that possesses only a radiation-pressure-like magnomechanical coupling. Three different kinds of nonlinearities are identified and distinguished in the experiment. Our work demonstrates a new mechanism for achieving mechanical bistability by combining magnetostriction and Kerr-type nonlinearities, and indicates that such Kerr-modified cavity magnomechanics provides a unique platform for studying many distinct nonlinearities in a single experiment.

description: Background: Developing and evaluating interventions for patients with age-associated disorders is a rising field in psychotherapy research. Its methodological challenges include the high between-subject variability and the wealth of influencing factors associated with longer lifetime. Latent change score modeling (LCSM), a technique based on structural equation modeling, may be well suited to analyzing longitudinal data sets obtained in clinical trials. Here, we used LCSM to evaluate the antidepressant effect of a combined cognitive behavioral/cognitive rehabilitation (CB/CR) intervention in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: LCSM was applied to predict the change in depressive symptoms from baseline as an outcome of the CORDIAL study, a randomized controlled trial involving 201 patients with mild AD. The participants underwent either the CORDIAL CB/CR program or standard treatment. Using LCSM, the model best predicting changes in Geriatric Depression Scale scores was determined based on this data set. Results: The best fit was achieved by a model predicting a decline in depressive symptoms between before and after testing. Assignment to the intervention group as well as female gender revealed significant effects in model fit indices, which remained stable at 6- and 12-month follow-up examinations. The pre-post effect was pronounced for patients with clinically relevant depressive symptoms at baseline. Conclusions: LCSM confirmed the antidepressant effect of the CORDIAL therapy program, which was limited to women. The effect was pronounced in patients with clinically relevant depressive symptoms at baseline. Methodologically, LCSM appears well suited to analyzing longitudinal data from clinical trials in aged populations, by accounting for the high between-subject variability and providing information on the differential indication of the probed intervention.

description: O hipertiroidismo é agora a doença endócrina mais comum no gato. O motivo pelo aumento anual do número de casos desta doença deverá prender-se com um Maior disponibilidade e utilização correcta dos meios complementares que permitem emitir um diagnóstico definitivo, mas também com o aumento de exposição da população de gatos aos factores predisponentes. Assim, este trabalho, utilizando uma base de dados proveniente de um CAMV na região da Grande Lisboa e um inquérito realizado a 31 Médicos Veterinários (MVs) que exercem a sua prática clínica nesta região do país, visou compreender melhor a abordagem global ao problema. Concluiu-se que, nesta região, a sintomatologia e a idade dos gatos são os principais motivos que levam à suspeita de hipertiroidismo felino e que levam à realização frequente de medições da concentração sérica de T4. No entanto, após um diagnóstico definitivo de hipertiroidismo, a maioria dos MVs não recomenda um tratamento curativo, como por exemplo o iodo radioactivo, o qual é desconhecido da maioria dos profissionais inquiridos, ou a tiroidectomia, mas sim uma abordagem terapêutica visando controlar a doença sem no entanto impedir a sua progressão como sendo o metimazol ou as dietas de prescrição.

description: Fan violence is a modern scourge of sports with historical origins. Crowd psychology and mass media impact on fan violence is a complex field of study, which highlights the multiple aspects of the relationship between media and fan behavior. Media often play an important role in shaping fan identities and promoting fan violence through various mechanisms. Fan violence can be interpreted through socio-psychological processes, such as social identification and the formation of collective identities by the media. This paper analyzes the psychology of the mass and the effect of Mass Media on fan violence. Main theories of mass psychology are examined, as well as the effect of Mass Media on the formation of collective behavior. Fan violence is explored through the lens of social psychology, as well as the impact of Mass Media on the development of fan groups and the promotion of fan violence.

description: In Implantology and surgeries involving the mental and interforaminal region, attention must be paid to the various anatomical accidents of the mental foramen, as well as the structures that transfer this communication. In this sense, one of the most important structures present in this region is the Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN), which divides and emerges in the mental foramen, receiving the name of mental nerve. One of the causes of trans and postoperative complications related to the mental nerve is the paresthesia that can be caused when some nervous structure was damaged during the procedures, which can lead to pain and partial or complete loss of sensory function (FONTOURA, 2013). In the case of damage to the mental nerve, this lack of sensitivity affects the region of the lower lip, mento, gingiva inserted in the region of premolars and bottom of the anterior vestibule. It is important to note that one of the recurrent anatomical variations of the IAN is the anterior loop, which is a loop-shaped anteriorization performed by the IAN before emerging into the foramen (KASTALA; DAVID; JAYAPAL, 2019). Due to this anteriorization and that the mental foramen is an important anatomical landmark for surgeries in the intraforaminal region, this scope review tries to map the safety zone in relation to the loop present in the literature, with the intention of alerting and assisting surgical planning that, consequently, avoid complications such as paresthesias. Inclusion criteria: PCCS (Population: humans regardless of age; Concept: anterior loop safety zone of NAI; Context: surgeries in the interforaminal region; Studies: cross-sectional, case-control, cohort and case series studies). Methods: Scope review carried out in order to use appropriate combinations and truncations of words selected and adapted specifically for each electronic database: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and Latin American, Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS). Additional bibliographic research will include Google Scholar web search, ProQuest, expert queries, and hand searches of bibliographies of included studies.

description: We explore the astrobiological significance of F-type stars of spectral type between F5 V and F9.5 V, which possess Jupiter-type planets within or close to their climatological habitable zones. These planets, or at least a subset of those, may also possess rocky exomoons, which potentially offer habitable environments. Our work considers eight selected systems. The Jupiter-type planets in these systems are in notably differing orbits with eccentricities between 0.08 (about Mars) and 0.72. We consider the stellar UV environments provided by the photospheric stellar radiation, which allows us to compute the UV habitable zones for the systems. Following previous studies, DNA is taken as a proxy for carbon-based macromolecules following the paradigm that extraterrestrial biology might be based on hydrocarbons. We found that the damage inflicted on DNA is notably different for the range of systems studied, and also varies according to the orbit of the Jupiter-type planet, especially for systems of high ellipticity, as expected. For some systems excessive values of damage are attained compared to today's Earth or during the Archean eon. Considering that the detection of exomoons around different types of stars will remain challenging in the foreseeable future, we view our work also as an example and template for investigating the combined requirements of climatological and UV-based habitability for exosolar objects.

description: We study control of synchronization in weakly coupled oscillator networks by using a phase reduction approach. Starting from a general class of limit cycle oscillators we derive a phase model, which shows that delayed feedback control changes effective coupling strengths and effective frequencies. We derive the analytical condition for critical control gain, where the phase dynamics of the oscillator becomes extremely sensitive to any perturbations. As a result the network can attain phase synchronization even if the natural interoscillatory couplings are small. In addition, we demonstrate that delayed feedback control can disrupt the coherent phase dynamic in synchronized networks. The validity of our results is illustrated on networks of diffusively coupled Stuart--Landau and FitzHugh--Nagumo models.

description: Com o aumento da esperança média de vida dos gatos a percentagem de animais seniores/geriátricos tem vindo a aumentar. Este fator vem trazer a necessidade de uma adaptação dos cuidados médicos associados à fase de vida do animal, com o consequente conhecimento de quais as principais doenças e principais causas de morte nos gatos desta faixa etária. Os objetivos deste estudo passam por tentar determinar as causas de morte mais frequentes em cem gatos com mais de nove anos, associando-as com características intrínsecas e com a prática de eutanásia. Concluiu-se que a doença mais associada à causa de morte nos animais estudados foi a doença renal crónica, seguindo-se os tumores e as doenças infeciosas. A média de idade à morte foi de 12,69 para a totalidade dos animais. Género, estado fértil e raça do animal em estudo foram independentes de todas as doenças. A média de peso foi superior para gatos machos, Europeus Comum e com diabetes mellitus e inferior para gatos com doença renal crónica. 56% dos gatos foram eutanasiados.

description: Space-bounded computation has been a central topic in classical and quantum complexity theory. In the quantum case, every elementary gate must be unitary. This restriction makes it unclear whether the power of space-bounded computation changes by allowing intermediate measurement. In the bounded error case, Fefferman and Remscrim [STOC 2021, pp.1343--1356] and Girish, Raz and Zhan~[ICALP 2021, pp.73:1--73:20] recently provided the break-through results that the power does not change. This paper shows that a similar result holds for space-bounded quantum computation with postselection. Namely, it is proved possible to eliminate intermediate postselections and measurements in the space-bounded quantum computation in the bounded-error setting. Our result strengthens the recent result by Le Gall, Nishimura and Yakaryilmaz~[TQC 2021, pp.10:1--10:17] that logarithmic-space bounded-error quantum computation with intermediate postselections and measurements is equivalent in computational power to logarithmic-space unbounded-error probabilistic computation. As an application, it is shown that bounded-error space-bounded one-clean qubit computation (DQC1) with postselection is equivalent in computational power to unbounded-error space-bounded probabilistic computation, and the computational supremacy of the bounded-error space-bounded DQC1 is interpreted in complexity-theoretic terms.

description: Using holography, we study the low-lying mesonic spectrum of a range of asymptotically free gauge theories. First we revisit a simple top-down holographic model of QCD-like dynamics with predictions in the M_rho-M_pi plane. The meson masses in this model are in very good agreement with lattice gauge theory calculations in the quenched approximation. We show that the key ingredient for the meson mass predictions is the running of the anomalous dimension of the quark condensate, gamma. This provides an explanation for the agreement of holographic and quenched lattice gauge theory calculations. We then study the `Dynamic AdS/QCD model' in which the gauge theory dynamics is included by a choice for the running of gamma. We use the naive two-loop perturbative running of the gauge coupling extrapolated to the non-perturbative regime to estimate the running of gamma across a number of theories. We consider models with quarks in the fundamental, adjoint, two-index symmetric and two-index anti-symmetric representations. We display predictions for M_rho, M_pi, M_sigma and the lightest glueball mass. Many of these theories, where the contribution to the running of gamma is dominated by the gluons, give very similar spectra, which also match with lattice expectations for QCD. On the other hand, a significant difference between spectra in different holographic models is seen for theories where the quark content changes the gradient of the running of gamma around the scale at which chiral symmetry breaking is triggered at gamma approximately 1. For these walking theories we see an enhancement of the rho-mass and a suppression of the sigma-mass. Both phenomena are characteristic for walking behaviour in the physical meson masses.

description: The excitation of density and bending waves in Saturn's C ring by planetary oscillation modes presents a unique opportunity to learn about gas giant interiors and rotation. However, theoretical complications related to Saturn's rapid and differential rotation pose a barrier to the full utilization of ring wave detections. We calculate oscillation modes using a complete, non-perturbative treatment of differential rotation modelled after Saturn's zonal winds in self-consistently computed, polytropic equilibria. We find that previous, approximate treatments of the effects of differential rotation in Saturn overestimate shifts in the frequencies of fundamental modes (f-modes) thought to be responsible for the majority of the waves detected in the C ring, due to an omitted modification of the equilibrium shape and structure of the planet by differential rotation. The bias introduced by these frequency overestimates is small, but significant relative to the uncertainties afforded by Cassini data. We additionally consider the non-perturbative effects of Saturn-like differential rotation on the rotational mixing of f-modes and internal gravity modes (g-modes), which is relevant to detections of multiple density waves with very closely split pattern speeds. We find that higher order rotational effects can produce orders-of-magnitude enhancements in the surface gravitational perturbations of g-modes dominated by large spherical harmonic degrees $\ell$, regardless of frequency separation from the sectoral f-mode. Despite this enhancement, we find that the observed fine-splitting of density waves is unlikely to involve g-modes dominated by $\ell\gtrsim 10$. This restriction may aid in the inference of possible internal structures for Saturn.

description: Os tumores odontogénicos são neoplasias derivadas da ectoderme ou dos componentes mesenquimais do periodonto. As lesões possuem características clínicas similares aos tumores odontogénicos, sendo a diferenciação histopatológica essencial para o diagnóstico. Existe controvérsia em relação aos nomes, as características clínicas e histopatológicas dos mesmos. Por outro lado, a maioria dos cirurgiões removem-nos sem exame histopatológico pré-cirúrgico. O objetivo do trabalho foi relatar um caso de fibroma periférico odontogénico (FPO) em um cão castrado, sem raça definida, 11 anos de idade. O paciente apresentava uma massa ao redor do segundo, terceiro e quarto dente pré-molar da maxila direita. Foi realizado o hemograma, bioquímica sérica, exame de urina e a biópsia da massa enviada para a histopatologia, sendo o diagnóstico pré-cirúrgico de fibroma periférico odontogénico. O tratamento foi cirúrgico, utilizando o bisturi elétrico. O presente relato de caso permitiu concluir que o exame histopatológico pré-cirúrgico é importante para o diagnóstico do tumor e a exérese total da massa tumoral é o tratamento de eleição.

description: Van der Waals heterostructures constitute a platform for investigating intriguing many-body quantum phenomena. In particular, transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) hetero-bilayers host long-lived interlayer excitons which exhibit permanent out-of-plane dipole moments. Here, we develop a microscopic theory for interlayer exciton-exciton interactions including both the dipolar nature of interlayer excitons as well as their fermionic substructure, which gives rise to an attractive fermionic exchange. We find that these interactions contribute to a drift force resulting in highly non-linear exciton propagation at elevated densities in the MoSe$_2$-WSe$_2$ heterostructure. We show that the propagation can be tuned by changing the number of hBN spacers between the TMD layers or by adjusting the dielectric environment. In particular, although counter-intuitive, we reveal that interlayer excitons in free-standing samples propagate slower than excitons in hBN-encapsulated TMDs - due to an enhancement of the net Coulomb-drift with stronger environmental screening. Overall, our work contributes to a better microscopic understanding of the interlayer exciton transport in technologically promising atomically thin semiconductors.

description: A cavidade oral é o quarto local mais afetado por neoplasias em cães e gatos, representando 3% em gatos e 6% em cães, podendo ser benignas ou malignas e de origem dental ou extradental. O objetivo do trabalho foi relatar o tratamento cirúrgico por hemi-maxilectomia parcial num cão de 10 anos de idade, da raça pastor alemão, atendido no Hospital Veterinário diagnosticado histopatologicamente por fibroma oral. Durante o exame físico foi observado um aumento de volume do tipo tumoral, no palato duro, estendendo-se desde o canino esquerdo até o primeiro molar, com tecido necrosado. Foram realizados hemograma, bioquímica sérica, urinálise, radiografia do tórax e biopsia. O tratamento cirúrgico instituído foi eficaz, pois após um ano não se observou qualquer sinal de recidiva tumoral.
