description: Procedures to recover explicitly discrete and continuous skew-selfadjoint Dirac systems on semi-axis from rational Weyl matrix functions are considered. Their stability is shown. Some new facts on asymptotics of pseudo-exponential potentials (i.e., of explicit solutions of inverse problems) are proved as well. GBDT version of Backlund-Darboux transformation, methods from system theory and results on algebraic Riccati equations are used for this purpose.
description: This paper is related to the paper arXiv:1508.07954 and deals with the case of discrete and continuous skew-selfadjoint Dirac systems (instead of the continuous selfadjoint case in arXiv:1508.07954). The discrete case is added in the current version

description: Burn injury is associated with severe immune dysfunction, including an anti-inflammatory state that occurs late after burn injury. While increased nitric oxide (NO) production is associated with severe infection and sepsis, the effect of burn trauma on these levels during a non-lethal infection remains unknown. We hypothesized that in a mouse model, 1) NO levels would be increased after infection without trauma and 2) burn injury would lead to decreased NO production even during infection.

description: Sodium transition metal oxides are one of the most promising cathode materials for future sodium ion batteries. Chemical flexibility of layered Na-oxides including cobalt enables its partial substitution by other redox-active or non-active metals, often leading to structural stabilization. Sharing the same structural positions with other transition metals in layered oxides, Co can be double- or triple-charged, and as Co3+ can adopt a low-spin (LS), intermediate-spin (IS), high-spin (HS) state, or a combination of them. Using Ti4+ in the structure together with Co2+ results in a reduced number of phase transformations compared to Ti-free compositions. However, a large potential hysteresis of about 1.5-2.5 V between battery charge and discharge is observed, pointing a first-order cooperative phase transition. Based on several examples, we found that Na extraction from NaxCox/2Ti1−x/2O2 materials with high-spin HS-Co2+, crystallizing in the P2 or O3 structure, mostly results in valence and spin-state transition of Co, leading to the formation of a second phase with a low-spin LS-Co3+, and a much smaller unit cell volume. We elucidated a kinetic origin of the potential hysteresis, which can be minimized by increasing temperature or reduction of the current density during battery cycling with P2- and O3-Na0.67Co0.33Ti0.67O2 materials. The slow kinetics of the structural phase transition, especially upon Na-insertion, hampers the application of classical methods of electrochemical thermodynamics, such as determining the entropic potential dE/dT. We showed that the entropic potential depends only on the Na-content in NaxCo0.33Ti0.67O2 during battery charge or discharge, what additionally confirms a kinetic nature of the potential hysteresis.

description: The ability to better prognosticate burn injury outcome is challenging and historically, most center use the Baux or revised Baux score to help prognosticate burn outcome, however, the weighted contribution of comorbidity on burn mortality has traditionally not been accounted for nor adequately studied. We therefore sought to determine the effect of comorbidities, using the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on burn mortality.

description: Numerical solutions of acoustic wave scattering are often used to describe sound propagation through complex geometries. For cases with flow, various forms of the convected equation have been used. A better alternative that includes vortex-sound interaction is instead to use the linearized and harmonic forms of the unsteady fluid flow governing equations. In this paper, a formulation of the linearized equations that include rotational effects, in an acoustic computation using a rotating frame of reference in a stationary geometry, is presented. We demonstrate that rotational effects can be important, e.g., when computing the transmission loss through high-speed compressors. The implementation of the proposed addition to the existing schemes is both simple and numerically inexpensive. The results are expected to have an impact on the research and development related to noise control of high-performance turbo-machinery, e.g., used in automotive or aviation applications at operating conditions that can be represented by steady background flows.

description: Interplay of magnetism and electronic band topology in unconventional magnets enables the creation and fine control of novel electronic phenomena. In this work, we use scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to study thin films of a prototypical kagome magnet Fe3Sn2. Our experiments reveal an unusually large number of densely-spaced spectroscopic features straddling the Fermi level. These are consistent with signatures of low-energy Weyl fermions and associated topological Fermi arc surface states predicted by theory. By measuring their response as a function of magnetic field, we discover a pronounced evolution in energy tied to the magnetization direction. Electron scattering and interference imaging further demonstrates the tunable nature of a subset of related electronic states. Our experiments provide a direct visualization of how in-situ spin reorientation drives changes in the electronic density of states of the Weyl fermion band structure. Combined with previous reports of massive Dirac fermions, flat bands, and electronic nematicity, our work establishes Fe3Sn2 as an interesting platform that harbors an extraordinarily wide array of topological and correlated electron phenomena.

description: RÉSUMÉ La littérature a documenté une relation positive entre la mobilité à l’extérieur chez les personnes âgées et les environnements bâtisables et marchables. Cependant, étonnamment, toute considération de la façon dont le temps modifie l’accessibilité piétonnière à travers les quartiers est absente. À Vancouver, au Canada, on a utilisé des données météorologiques archivées liées à des données recueillies auprès d’un échantillon d’aînés. On a constaté que, lorsqu’il neige, les quartiers où l’on dépend d’automobiles (comportant des blocs plus longs, moins d’intersections et une plus grande distance aux commodités) sont devenus inaccessibles. Même les adultes plus âgés qui vivaient dans les quartiers qui étaient très bien adaptés au traffic pietonnier marchait à 25 pour cent moins de destinations pendant la neige. Il est essentiel de tenir compte de l’impact des conditions météorologiques dans la relation entre la marchabilité des quartiers et la mobilité des personnes âgées.
Structured populations with distributed recruitment: from PDE to delay formulation

description: In this work first we consider a physiologically structured population model with a distributed recruitment process. That is, our model allows newly recruited individuals to enter the population at all possible individual states, in principle. The model can be naturally formulated as a first order partial integro-differential equation, and it has been studied extensively. In particular, it is well-posed on the biologically relevant state space of Lebesgue integrable functions. We also formulate a delayed integral equation (renewal equation) for the distributed birth rate of the population. We aim to illustrate the connection between the partial integro-differential and the delayed integral equation formulation of the model utilising a recent spectral theoretic result. In particular, we consider the equivalence of the steady state problems in the two different formulations, which then leads us to characterise irreducibility of the semigroup governing the linear partial integro-differential equation. Furthermore, using the method of characteristics, we investigate the connection between the time dependent problems. In particular, we prove that any (non-negative) solution of the delayed integral equation determines a (non-negative) solution of the partial differential equation and vice versa. The results obtained for the particular distributed states at birth model then lead us to present some very general results, which establish the equivalence between a general class of partial differential and delay equation, modelling physiologically structured populations.

description: BACKGROUND: Patients with FMS like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have a poor prognosis and are referred for early allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).

METHODS: Data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) were used to evaluate 511 adult patients with de novo AML who underwent HCT during 2008 through 2011 to determine whether FLT3 mutations had an impact on HCT outcomes.

RESULTS: In total, 158 patients (31%) had FLT3 mutations. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed an increased risk of relapse at 3 years in the FLT3 mutated group compared with the wild-type (WT) group (38% [95% confidence interval (CI), 30%-45%] vs 28% [95% CI, 24%-33%]; P = .04; relative risk, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.15-2.22]; P = .0048). However, FLT3 mutation status was not significantly associated with nonrelapse mortality, leukemia-free survival, or overall survival. Although more patients in the FLT3 mutated group died from relapsed primary disease compared with those in the WT group (60% vs 46%), the 3-year overall survival rate was comparable for the 2 groups (mutated group: 49%; 95% CI, 40%-57%; WT group: 55%, 95% CI, 50%-60%; P = .20).

CONCLUSIONS: The current data indicate that FLT3 mutation status did not adversely impact overall survival after HCT, and about 50% of patients with this mutation who underwent HCT were long-term survivors. Cancer 2016;122:3005-3014. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Are There Meaningful Clinical Benefits and Drawbacks to Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEEK Versus Traditional Metallic Implants in Orthopedic Trauma Surgery? A Systematic Review and Limited Meta-analyses A PEEK into CFR Constructs for Fracture Fixation
Creators: name: Foote, Clary
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Over the past ten years, various studies have investigated the biomechanical properties of CFR PEEK and its use in dental implants7, spinal cages8 and for bearing surfaces in hip and knee replacement surgery.9 A previous systematic review by Li and Bhandari et al. in 2015 (ref) covers other indications for CRF implants nicely. It also provides a thorough and thoughtful review of the biomechanical and laboratory research that is not the focus of this review. Our focus is on comparative research of CFR PEEK versus traditional implants for clinically-important outcomes in the milieu of fracture fixation. We believed due to the recent emergence of many fracture studies reporting on the comparative efficacy of CFR PEEK, an updated systematic review, and plausibly a meta-analysis was warranted. This systematic review aims to compare the clinical outcomes of CFR PEEK implants, including plates and intramedullary nails, to conventional metallic implants for fracture fixation in extremity orthopedic trauma surgery.

description: BACKGROUND: Individual environmental exposures are associated with cancer development; however, environmental exposures occur simultaneously. The Environmental Quality Index (EQI) is a county-level measure of cumulative environmental exposures that occur in 5 domains.

METHODS: The EQI was linked to county-level annual age-adjusted cancer incidence rates from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program state cancer profiles. All-site cancer and the top 3 site-specific cancers for male and female subjects were considered. Incident rate differences (IRDs; annual rate difference per 100,000 persons) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using fixed-slope, random intercept multilevel linear regression models. Associations were assessed with domain-specific indices and analyses were stratified by rural/urban status.

RESULTS: Comparing the highest quintile/poorest environmental quality with the lowest quintile/best environmental quality for overall EQI, all-site county-level cancer incidence rate was positively associated with poor environmental quality overall (IRD, 38.55; 95% CI, 29.57-47.53) and for male (IRD, 32.60; 95% CI, 16.28-48.91) and female (IRD, 30.34; 95% CI, 20.47-40.21) subjects, indicating a potential increase in cancer incidence with decreasing environmental quality. Rural/urban stratified models demonstrated positive associations comparing the highest with the lowest quintiles for all strata, except the thinly populated/rural stratum and in the metropolitan/urbanized stratum. Prostate and breast cancer demonstrated the strongest positive associations with poor environmental quality.

CONCLUSION: We observed strong positive associations between the EQI and all-site cancer incidence rates, and associations differed by rural/urban status and environmental domain. Research focusing on single environmental exposures in cancer development may not address the broader environmental context in which cancers develop, and future research should address cumulative environmental exposures.

description: This article presents a case study of an urban academic library's attempt to identify factors that influence the perceptions of students of color concerning the library as a welcoming space. The goal of this study is to determine if there are qualitative divergent factors along racial lines concerning how students use this library. The research is grounded in the theory of symbolic interactionism and Critical Race Theory. The authors then used these theories to focus on three themes that emerged reflecting racial differences among library users. This project adds to the limited scholarly research concerning the influence of the library on the experiences and the retention and success rates of students of color. (Contains 30 notes.)

description: Partially depleted cores, as measured by core-Sersic model "break radii", are typically tens to a few hundred parsecs in size. Here we investigate the unusually large (cusp radius of 4.57 kpc) depleted core recently reported for Holm 15A, the brightest cluster galaxy of Abell 85. We model the 1D light profile, and also the 2D image (using GALFIT-CORSAIR, a tool for fitting the core-Sersic model in 2D). We find good agreement between the 1D and 2D analyses, with minor discrepancies attributable to intrinsic ellipticity gradients. We show that a simple Sersic profile (with a low index n and no depleted core) plus the known outer exponential "halo" provide a good description of the stellar distribution. We caution that while almost every galaxy light profile will have a radius where the negative logarithmic slope of the intensity profile equals 0.5, this alone does not imply the presence of a partially depleted core within this radius.

description: Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of the sympathetic nervous system with embryonic origins. Previous epidemiologic studies suggest maternal vitamin supplementation during pregnancy reduces the risk of neuroblastoma. We hypothesized offspring and maternal genetic variants in folate-related and choline-related genes are associated with neuroblastoma and modify the effects of maternal intake of folate, choline and folic acid.

description: The definitive version of record is available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s12208-018-0197-3
description: The purpose of this paper is to test an expanded model of charitable giving and the intention to donate based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The novelty of this research resides in disaggregating the overall attitude a donor may hold into three different attitude constructs: attitude toward a charity, attitude toward helping, and attitude toward donation. An online survey was conducted of 202 potential Canadian charitable donors. By using a hierarchical multiple regression, results show that overall, the extended TPB model proposed in this study is significantly better than those found in the extant research in predicting the intention to donate. The strongest influences on the intention to donate were past behaviour, moral norms, and perceived behavioural control. Subjective norms and attitude toward charitable organisation were found to be non-significant predictors. Managerial implications are also presented at the end of the paper.
A generalization of Onsager's reciprocity relations to gradient flows with nonlinear mobility

description: Onsager's 1931 `reciprocity relations' result connects microscopic time-reversibility with a symmetry property of corresponding macroscopic evolution equations. Among the many consequences is a variational characterization of the macroscopic evolution equation as a gradient-flow, steepest-ascent, or maximal-entropy-production equation. Onsager's original theorem is limited to close-to-equilibrium situations, with a Gaussian invariant measure and a linear macroscopic evolution. In this paper we generalize this result beyond these limitations, and show how the microscopic time-reversibility leads to natural generalized symmetry conditions, which take the form of generalized gradient flows.

description: Following colonoscopic polypectomy, US Multisociety Task Force (USMSTF) guidelines stratify patients based on risk of subsequent advanced neoplasia (AN) using number, size, and histology of resected polyps, but have only moderate sensitivity and specificity. We hypothesized that a state-of-the-art statistical prediction model might improve identification of patients at high risk of future AN and address these challenges.

description: Pharmacopuncture is a traditional medicine treatment combining acupuncture and herbal medicines that originated in China and has been actively studied since the 1960s. Recently, various herbal extracts for use in it have been developed and used eﬀectively for various diseases. Currently, it is widely used as one of the major treatment techniques in Korea. However, compared to its effectiveness, studies on its safety are poor. Therefore, we review all kinds of clinical studies to investigate the incidence and characteristics of AEs associated with Pharmacopuncture treatment in Korea and assess the safety of Pharmacopuncture. This pre-registration is for its protocol.
