description: In recent years it became possible to align molecules in free space using ultrashort laser pulses. Here we explore two schemes for controlling molecule-surface scattering process, which are based on the laser-induced molecular alignment. In the first scheme, a single ultrashort non-resonant laser pulse is applied to a molecular beam hitting the surface. This pulse modifies the angular distribution of the incident molecules, and causes the scattered molecules to rotate with a preferred sense of rotation (clockwise or counter-clockwise). In the second scheme, two properly delayed laser pulses are applied to a molecular beam composed of two chemically close molecular species (isotopes, or nuclear spin isomers). As the result of the double pulse excitation, these species are selectively scattered to different angles after the collision with the surface. These effects may provide new means for the analysis and separation of molecular mixtures.

description: Context Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been established for detection and characterisation of liver tumours and differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions. The role of transabdominal CEUS in cystic pancreatic disease is less obvious. Objective We prospectively evaluated CEUS for characterization of undetermined cystic pancreatic lesions with respect to the differential diagnosis of pseudocysts and cystic neoplasia and differentiation between benign and malignant disease (gold standard: histology or cytology). Patients One-hundred and fourteen patients (63 males, 51 females; median age: 62 years, range: 33-87 years) were prospectively examined. Investigations Conventional B-mode and transabdominal CEUS. Main outcome measures Conventional B-mode (criteria: solid nodules, septae), and contrast enhancing features of cystic pancreatic lesions (microperfusion of solid nodules) were analysed. Final diagnoses were made by surgery (47 patients) or histology/cytology and follow-up of at least one year (67 patients). Results Fifty patients proved to have neoplastic lesions (37 malignant, 13 of benign origin). Sixty-four patients had pseudocysts caused by acute (27 patients) or chronic pancreatitis (37 patients). Conventional B-mode had a sensitivity of 94% and a low specificity of 44% in the differentiation of pseudocysts versus neoplasia. CEUS had a higher specificity of 77% with the same sensitivity of conventional B-mode ultrasound. The combination of conventional ultrasound and CEUS improved the specificity even more to 97% with an unchanged sensitivity. CEUS was not reliable in the differentiation of benign and malignant neoplasia. Conclusion CEUS improves the differentiation between pseudocysts and pancreatic neoplasia in comparison to the conventional B-mode imaging. The microvascularisation visualised using CEUS even in small nodules (with or without septae) associated with cystic lesions is an indicator for cystic pancreatic neoplasia.

description: The electronic structure of the conjugated polymer, polyaniline, has been studied by resonant and nonresonant X-ray emission spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation for the excitation. The measurements were made on polyaniline and a few doped (protonated) phases for both the carbon and nitrogen contents. The resonant X-ray emission spectra show depletion of the π electron bands due to the selective excitation which enhances the effect of symmetry selection rules. The valence band structures in the X-ray emission spectra attributed to the π bands show unambiguous changes of the electronic structure upon protonation. By comparing to X-ray absorption measurements, the chemical bonding and electronic configuration is characterized.

description: The amount of available data about complex systems is increasing every year, measurements of larger and larger systems are collected and recorded. A natural representation of such data is given by networks, whose size is following the size of the original system. The current trend of multiple cores in computing infrastructures call for a parallel reimplementation of earlier methods. Here we present the grid version of CFinder, which can locate overlapping communities in directed, weighted or undirected networks based on the clique percolation method (CPM). We show that the computation of the communities can be distributed among several CPU-s or computers. Although switching to the parallel version not necessarily leads to gain in computing time, it definitely makes the community structure of extremely large networks accessible.

description: We study the localization of a cigar-shaped super-fluid Bose-Fermi mixture in a quasi-periodic bichromatic optical lattice (OL) for inter-species attraction and intra-species repulsion. The mixture is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the bosons, coupled to a hydrodynamic mean-field equation for fermions at unitarity. We confirm the existence of the symbiotic localized states in the Bose-Fermi mixture and Anderson localization of the Bose component in the interacting Bose-Fermi mixture on a bichromatic OL. The phase diagram in boson and fermion numbers showing the regions of the symbiotic and Anderson localization of the Bose component is presented. Finally, the stability of symbiotic and Anderson localized states is established under small perturbations.

description: We consider a class of random, weighted networks, obtained through a redefinition of patterns in an Hopfield-like model and, by performing percolation processes, we get information about topology and resilience properties of the networks themselves. Given the weighted nature of the graphs, different kinds of bond percolation can be studied: stochastic (deleting links randomly) and deterministic (deleting links based on rank weights), each mimicking a different physical process. The evolution of the network is accordingly different, as evidenced by the behavior of the largest component size and of the distribution of cluster sizes. In particular, we can derive that weak ties are crucial in order to maintain the graph connected and that, when they are the most prone to failure, the giant component typically shrinks without abruptly breaking apart; these results have been recently evidenced in several kinds of social networks.

description: Abstract Objectives: To explore whether quadratic model will better estimate the relationship between aging and thigh tissue composition in a cohort that range in age from young to older adults. Methods: 51 healthy subjects participated in this investigation. All subjects underwent CT imaging for the thigh. Cross-sectional area of the fat and muscular tissues in the thigh were quantified. Hierarchical regression models were created. Age was entered first into the models to estimate its linear relationship with the thigh tissues. Then the squared value of the age variable was entered second to identify whether a quadratic model would better estimate the relationship between the variables. Results: The linear model was significant for thigh muscular tissue. Quadratic models were able to account for additional significant prediction of the cross-sectional area of thigh tissues. Muscular area decreased with aging until 60 years after that it didn’t change. Fat areas increased with aging until 45-50 years and then it decreased. Conclusions: The cross-sectional area of different thigh tissues exhibit a curvilinear pattern with aging. Muscular tissue area may not change after 60 years; this could be explained by the reduction in fat that may infiltrate inside the muscles and offset the muscular reduction.

description: Context There is limited information available about the feasibility and benefits of synchronous resection of liver metastases in patients with pancreatic and periampullary cancer undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Objective We report on our experience with 7 such patients. Design Analysis of the prospective database was carried out to identify patients who underwent synchronous resection of liver metastases with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients Two-hundred and thirty patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic and periampullary cancer in our unit between September 2003 and September 2009. Main outcome measures The primary aim of our study was to determine the survival benefits and the secondary aim was to evaluate their safety and influence on the results of a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results Seven patients (3%) underwent synchronous resection of a solitary liver metastasis. In these patients, the operative time and intra-operative blood loss was marginally high as compared to the overall cohort of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy; however, the complication rates and the duration of the hospital stay were not affected. In patients undergoing resection of liver metastasis, there were 4 recurrences over a mean follow-up of 21 months. Conclusions In patients with resectable pancreatic and periampullary cancer, the resection of a solitary liver metastasis can safely be performed together with a pancreaticoduodenectomy; however, its impact on improving survival has yet to be proven.

description: Context Resection of the body and tail of the pancreas (distal pancreatectomy) is associated with high postoperative morbidity, most of which is due to leakage from the pancreatic transection surface. Objective The aim of the current study was to analyze factors which may affect the risk of pancreatic fistula formation. Patients All consecutive distal pancreatectomies prospectively registered in our hospital database from 1999 to 2007 were included. Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula grades B and C, defined according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) definition were assessed. Main outcome measures The impact of patient, tumor, surgery, and radiology-related factors on the risk of pancreatic fistula formation were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results A distal pancreatectomy was performed in 51 patients (median age: 59 years; range: 26-76 years), 22 of whom had malignant and 29 benign or premalignant disease. Pancreatic fistulas were diagnosed in 17 (33.3%) of the patients. An additional three patients had a local abscess without apparent but assumed pancreatic leakage. Multivariate analysis showed that pancreatic fistulas occurred more frequently after hand suturing of the transection area versus the use of a stapler (69.2% vs. 21.1%; OR: 40.4, 95% CI: 3.36-486; P=0.004) and a large volume of the pancreatic remnant (greater, or equal to, 34 cm3) increased the subsequent risk of pancreatic fistula (57.1% vs. 20.8%; OR: 6.14, 95% CI: 1.14-39.0; P=0.035). Conclusions Development of pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy remains a challenge. The volume of the remaining pancreas and the technique of closure of the transected pancreas were found to affect this risk, thus allowing future preventive measures to be explored and evaluated in clinical trials.

description: We study 1-D diffusion of $N$ hard-core interacting Brownian particles driven by the space- and time-dependent external force. We give the exact solution of the $N$-particle Smoluchowski diffusion equation. In particular, we investigate the nonequilibrium energetics of two interacting particles under the time-periodic driving. The hard-core interaction induces entropic repulsion which differentiates the energetics of the two particles. We present exact time-asymptotic results which describe the mean energy, the accepted work and heat, and the entropy production of interacting particles and we contrast these quantities against the corresponding ones for the non-interacting particles.

description: Context Splenic involvement in neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors is well known but rarely presents as a primary splenic mass. Case report A rare case of a neuroendocrine tumor involving the tail of the pancreas, splenic hilum and splenic flexure of the colon, forming a conglomerate mass and presenting as isolated gastric varices is described. A 75-year-old male presented with hematemesis and melena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed isolated gastric varices. A CT scan revealed a mass predominantly involving the spleen and a small part of the pancreas. Conclusion A splenic mass with isolated gastric varices should be kept in mind as one of the presentations of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.

The proposed formalism, characterized by a four- component spinorial wavefunction of the Bogoliubov de Gennes theory, allows to describe the spin flipping phenomena induced by noncollinear magnetizations in the scattering region. As a specific application of the theory, we analyze the conductance, the magnetoresistance and the generation of spin-torque produced by an applied voltage in a spin-valve system. Quantum size effects and quantum beating patterns both in the conductance and in the spin-torque are carefully described.

description: Context Duodenal dystrophy is a rare disease, characterized by the chronic inflammation of the aberrant pancreatic tissue in the duodenal wall. Case reports Two middle-aged men were admitted with upper abdominal pain of several months duration, periodic nausea and vomiting after meals, intermittent jaundice and weight loss. A diagnosis of cystic dystrophy of the vertical part of the duodenum without chronic inflammation of the orthotopic pancreas was established in both cases by multi-detector computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and endosonography. Both patients were successfully treated by two modifications of pancreas-preserving duodenal resections with reimplantation of the bile and pancreatic ducts into the neoduodenum. Conclusion These cases are a good example of a pancreas-preserving approach to duodenal dystrophy treatment and can be an alternative to the Whipple procedure in cases of mild changes of the orthotopic gland.

description: The literature on reconstruction formulas for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is vast. The various reconstruction formulas differ by used measurement devices and geometry on which the data are sampled.

Recently, sectional photoacoustic imaging techniques, using focusing techniques for initializing and measuring the pressure along a plane, appeared in the literature. This paper surveys existing and provides novel exact reconstruction formulas for sectional photoacoustic imaging.

description: Abstract
This paper explores the application of Microsoft PowerPoint and the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming language in the development of interactive educational software. As a widely used presentation tool with its user-friendly interface and multimedia support, PowerPoint has gradually been adopted in the education sector for creating creative teaching materials. By combining it with the VBA programming language, users can further customize and enhance PowerPoint's functionalities to meet the unique needs of educational software. This paper proposes designing and developing interactive presentations based on the VBA programming language. By invoking PowerPoint 2007 operation, a macro can be enabled when opening the courseware to ensure that the VBA code can run properly to achieve the interactive questions and answer functions. Presentations made by this method are highly interactive, which can stimulate students' motivation, enrich classroom teaching tools and improve teaching effectiveness. Finally, this paper discusses creating an interactive presentation that can include dynamic selection, control, and playback of audio files, the future potential of PowerPoint and VBA in the education field, and possible challenges and avenues for development. The findings of this paper suggest that the combination of PowerPoint and the VBA programming language can effectively create interactive educational software, enhance teaching effectiveness, and provide students with more engaging and enjoyable learning experiences. However, this also requires educators and developers to have a deep understanding of the potential of these tools to leverage their advantages and address potential technical challenges fully. Teachers use various methods wisely, master the teaching process flexibly and creatively, stimulate students' interest, and cultivate their creative thinking and comprehensive application of VB development skills, contributing to China's education development.

description: Context Portal annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from fusion of the pancreatic parenchyma around the portal vein/superior mesenteric vein. It is asymptomatic, but could have serious consequences during pancreatic surgery, if unrecognized. We describe a variant of this anomaly encountered during pancreaticoduodenectomy and propose a new classification. Case report We report a 51-year-old male who underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary carcinoma. After division of the pancreatic neck, a sheath of tissue was found posterior and extending to the left of the portal vein. When we divided this tissue, a large duct was encountered; this duct communicated with the main pancreatic duct. On review of the CT images, the main pancreatic duct was seen to be passing posterior to the portal vein and a smaller accessory pancreatic duct was present anterior to the portal vein. We describe the surgical implications. Conclusion This variant of portal annular pancreas has not yet been reported during pancreaticoduodenectomy and we propose a new classification for this fusion anomaly.

description: We propose a general method for optical control of magnetic Feshbach resonances in ultracold atomic gases with more than one molecular state in an energetically closed channel. Using two optical frequencies to couple two states in the closed channel, inelastic loss arising from spontaneous emission is greatly suppressed by destructive quantum interference at the two-photon resonance, i.e., dark-state formation, while the scattering length is widely tunable by varying the frequencies and/or intensities of the optical fields. This technique is of particular interest for a two-component atomic Fermi gas, which is stable near a Feshbach resonance.

description: Context Ischemia is an established cause of acute pancreatitis; however, acute pancreatitis has never been reported after cardiac arrest. Case report We report a case of acute pancreatitis following cardiac arrest with prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a 58-year-old man, the mechanism of which is likely to be ischemic. The patient developed severe ischemic encephalopathy, leading to death. Possible causes of acute pancreatitis in a context of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are discussed. Conclusion In case of abdominal distension following cardiac arrest, diagnoses of mesenteric ischemia and acute ischemic pancreatitis should be considered. Such digestive complications occurring after cardiac arrest probably reflect the severity of the ischemia.

description: In the 25 years since the discovery of the first exoplanet and brown dwarf, our atmospheric models have developed considerably. We are in the era where developments in atmospheric models are data driven. Here I will give an overview of the intricacies of modeling brown dwarf and exoplanet spectra and how observations have informed our models. I will discuss why these updates in our models are crucial for our understanding of these atmospheres, and how processes like disequilibrium chemistry leave observable changes on spectra. Finally, I will discuss how high-resolution model spectra will help us constrain the 3D structure of brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres.

The goals of testing this part of the Standard Model were achieved, and have been surpassed beyond all expectation. As a result the B factories have revolutionised our understanding of many areas of the Standard Model of particle physics, and also provide a number of stringent limits on possible scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model. In some cases these limits on new physics effects equal or surpass those achievable at the CERN based Large Hadron Collider.

description: Context Caroli’s disease is a rare congenital disorder first described by Caroli in 1958. This abnormality consists of non-obstructive, saccular or fusiform dilation of the intrahepatic bile ducts resulting in cystic lesions; similar abnormalities may also occur in the kidneys and pancreas. Case report We illustrate the role of enhanced mangafodipir trisodium magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with sporadic non-hereditary Caroli’s disease associated with pancreatic involvement in which mangafodipir trisodium magnetic resonance imaging characterized part of the cystic liver lesions as saccular dilations of the intrahepatic bile ducts of the left lobe, allowing diagnosis of the disease. Conclusion We strongly recommend hepatobiliary magnetic resonance imaging with mangafodipir trisodium in such patients.

description: Context Pancreatic heterotopia is a rare pathologic entity, previously reported in the stomach, duodenum and jejunum. It is mostly asymptomatic and rarely gives rise to complications. Localization of pancreatic heterotopia in the gallbladder is extremely rare and can be associated with cholecystitis or cholecystolithiasis. Case report We herein describe a case of a 39-year-old man who presented with biliary type pain with ultrasonographic evidence of a gallbladder polyp. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed with uneventful recovery. Pathologic examination of the gallbladder detected a heterotopic focus of pancreatic tissue in its wall, associated with chronic cholecystitis with no gallstones. Conclusion Pancreatic heterotopia of the gallbladder is a very rare entity with unknown clinical significance. Awareness of this condition may facilitate its recognition which may shed more light on its clinical significance.

description: Part of the JSM 2020 session "Private Data for the Public Good: Formal Privacy in Survey Organizations" sponsored by the Privacy and Confidentiality Committee on August 4, 2020. Description: Differential Privacy will be applied to various 2020 Census Data Products to help protect the privacy of individuals. Where does formal privacy go from there? Survey organizations provide many types of data products, including survey sample data, administrative data, census data, business data, data from partial frames. Research continues, for example, as to applying formal privacy methods to survey data from complex samples, such as handling survey weights, accounting for the additional noise in variance estimation. The impact of the formal privacy movement on various data products such as both large-scale surveys and the numerous smaller-scale surveys remains unclear. Applying formal privacy methods to the survey organization environment brings forth challenges under tight budgets and limiting its impact on the utility of existing data products. This session will begin with discussion on Census Bureau’s formal privacy research agenda for complex survey statistics and then discuss the current state of formal privacy methods in relation to survey organizations.

Subjects: Blood Component Removal; Cytokines; Hypertriglyceridemia; Inflammation; Pancreatitis

description: Context Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a known cause of acute pancreatitis, and apheresis treatment, most commonly plasmapheresis, has been used to treat patients with drug refractory hypetriglyceridemia for more than 30 years. Case report We report a case in which a woman with Crohn’s disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus developed recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis due to extreme hypertriglyceridemia. After the initiation of lipoprotein apheresis from whole blood, a marked reduction of triglyceride and lipoprotein levels was observed. Some inflammatory parameters were increased even if most of the cytokines were not detectable, indicating good biocompatibility of the filter. Conclusions Triglyceride levels were lowered after initiating selective lipoprotein apheresis. More importantly, the patient did not experience any relapses of pancreatitis after the treatment was started. Hence this treatment is feasible in drug refractory hypertiglyceridemia, but the treatment concept needs to be tested in additional studies.

Subjects: Talent Management, Training, Entrepreneurs, Human Resource Accounting.

description: Abstract
Talent Capital is an active and dynamic resource needed for any organization to grow consistently. Talent Capital Management is the process of assessing the needed number of employees needed for completing the tasks and the skills needed for each task. Talent gap may be taken as the difference in number of employees needed over available number. Human resource accounting enables the company to develop internal talent pool. Internal Talent Management strategies include automation, training, assigning extra jobs, and restructuring the jobs based on employee involvement needed in quantitative measures (hours or units, or both units and time). This helps to increase employee engagement effectively and can identify the areas where the level of automation can be increased or outsource talent in the tasks having lower employee engagement rates. The respondents of this survey are the managers or entrepreneurs and tool used is an employee utilization chart in which the effective rate of engagement is used to distribute the tasks and identify the talent gap. It is a case panel study in which 89 firms participated from four sectors, retail, Manufacturing with assembly line, Engineering, food processing, and continuous process firms. The survey was conducted from April 2022 to October 2022. The results show that there is a shortage of talent in engineering, continuous process industry as task-based skills is important. In the assembly line, the work rate is adjusted with the available talents or preferred to outsource.

description: Context Intestinal flora and anaerobes are frequently implicated in causing infectious necrotizing pancreatitis however Bifidobacterium and Veillonella have rarely been isolated as the causative agents. Bifidobacterium and Veillonella are commensal anaerobes which reside in gastrointestinal tract and help deconjugate bile acids. Bifidobacterium is also frequently used in probiotics. Case report We present a 68-year-old man who initially presented with gallstone pancreatitis but eventually developed Bifidobacterium and Veillonella species induced necrotizing pancreatitis and pseudocyst formation. Conclusion Under rare circumstances commensal gut flora can turn pathogenic which can lead to life-threatening morbidity and may even result in mortality.

description: We derive a lower bound for the subword complexity of the base-$b$ expansion ($b\geq 2$) of all real numbers whose irrationality exponent is equal to 2. This provides a generalization of a theorem due to Ferenczi and Mauduit. As a consequence, we obtain the first lower bound for the subword complexity of the number $e$ and of some other transcendental exponential periods.
