description: Nowadays, manned cosmonautics is faced with the task of carrying out a long-term space flight beyond the limits of low Earth orbit. Under the conditions of an orbital space flight, a person is exposed to a number of adverse effects on the body, among which microgravity is especially distinguished. Prolonged exposure to microgravity can lead to severe immune impairment. At present, immunological studies of cosmonauts can be conducted only after they return to Earth at the end of a space flight, as a result of which the use of ground-based models that imitate specific space factors seems to be an advanced direction. A well-studied microgravity model is bed rest, during which volunteers are kept in strict rest in bed. Granulocytes, as representatives of innate immunity, are the first among immune cells to respond to an altered state of the body; therefore, researches of the influence of bed rest on the granulocyte phenotypic characteristics can provide important information for the development of prophylaxis measures to the immune disorders’ development when exposed to microgravity. The work used data obtained from six subjects. The impact of bed rest was determined at the end of the model, after 21 days. The following granulocyte clusters of differentiation (CD) were studied by flow cytometry: CD25, CD64, CD23, CD14, CD16, CD36, CD11b, CD18, CD286. Tendencies to a decrease in the percentage of CD64+ subpopulation and an increase in the percentage of CD23+, as well as CD25+ subpopulation of granulocytes after 21 days of bed rest were revealed.

description: The problem of the influence of inflammation on the processes of higher nervous activity is still relevant. In particular, it implies an analysis of the safety and effectiveness of biological regulators’ effects with neurotropic and immunomodulatory potential. The study examined the effects of Salmonella tiphy LPS on behaviour and cognitive function in adult male Wistar rats with different levels of melatoninergic system activity, using various tests. It was found that daily injection of LPS to rats of the group А (50 μg/kg, i.p.) for 10 days leads to the formation of a special pattern of behavior with a low level of tentative research activity in the presence of increased anxiety. The rats of the group В received combined exposure to LPS (50 μg/kg, i.p.) and melatonin (5 mg/kg, orally) distinguished a higher level of various variants of motor and research activity in conditions of relatively low anxiety in contrast to the rats of the group А. The paper discusses the features and mechanisms of the formation of "painful" behavior in an experimental model of inflammation, depending on the level of activation of the components of the melatoninergic system.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht Mediennutzung türkischer MigrantInnen in Österreich im Zusammenhang mit sozialer Integration. Dazu wird der Zusammenhang zwischen den soziodemografischen Daten, Nutzungsmotiven und dem Integrationsgrad der türkischer MigrantInnen in Österreich sowie der Mediennutzung bzw. deutschsprachigen und/oder der heimatsprachigen Mediennutzung hinterfragt. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Perspektive, die den Zusammenhang und die wechselseitige Wirkung von Mediennutzung und Integration diskutiert. Sie verwendet den Uses-and-Gratifications-Ansatz, um die Mediennutzung von MigrantInnen zu messen. Der Fokus der Stichprobe liegt bei der ersten Generation der türkischen MigrantInnen in Österreich. Als Erhebungsmethode wurde die quantitative Befragung (N=473) durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der erhebliche Anteil der türkischen MigrantInnen sowohl deutsche als auch heimatsprachliche Medienangebote nutzt und es einen signifikanten Zusammenhang zwischen dem Integrationsgrad und der Nutzungssprache der Massenmedien gibt.

description: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been successfully used to treat many types of tumors. However, the widespread use of PDT is limited by a number of factors, including low selectivity of photosensitizer (PS) accumulation in tumor tissue. We have synthesized the novel third-generation photosensitizer, conjugate of zinc complex of chlorine e6 with maltose and biotin (Chl-Mal-B7). The introduction of maltose and biotin is intended to provide high selectivity to tumor cells often characterized by high-level expression of receptors for these molecules. It was shown that Chl-Mal-B7 intensively absorbs light and fluoresces in a far-red spectral region with a quantum yield of about 10%. Chl-Mal-B7 demonstrated photoinduced toxicity in submicromolar concentrations against cancer cells that is several times more effective compared to nonmalignant cells.

description: Microbial production of testosterone from phytosterol is a promising alternative to the chemical synthesis from androstenedione, which is currently used. It is possible using wild-type or recombinant strains of Mycolicibacterium neoaurum. One of the key steps of biotechnology development is inoculum preparation which determines the volumetric/mass ratios of the bioreactors and affects the biotransformation rate and duration. In the present work, the conditions for the growth of testosterone-producing strain of Mycolicibacterium neoaurum recombinant strain with enhanced 17β-HSD activity were optimized. The effects of medium composition, temperature, and glucose supplements on biomass size and density were estimated. The results are of importance for the development of microbial technology for testosterone production.

description: A general formalism for calculating the Radiative Heat Transfer in many body systems with anisotropic component is presented. Our scheme extends the theory of radiative heat transfer in isotropic many body systems to anisotropic cases. In addition, the radiative heating of the particles by the thermal bath is taken into account in our formula. It is shown that the radiative heat exchange (HE) between anisotropic particles and their radiative cooling/heating (RCH) could be enhanced several order of magnitude than that of isotropic particles. Furthermore, we demonstrate that both the HE and RCH can be tuned dramatically by particles relative orientation in many body systems.

description: Noroviruses with the GII.P16 polymerase gene have long been considered rare. However, since 2015, there have been reports from different geographical regions about the spread of new recombinant strains of norovirus in which GII.P16 polymerase is associated with a capsid protein of various genotypes. In the autumn of 2016, a sharp increase in the frequency of detection of noroviruses was observed in Nizhny Novgorod, which coincided with the appearance of new recombinants GII.4_Sydney and GII.2 – with GII.P16 polymerase. Based on the sequences of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene present in the GenBank database, a phylogenetic analysis of noroviruses with GII.P16 specificity was performed by constructing Bayesian phylogenetic trees. Analysis of amino acid sequences showed that representatives of the novel variant of the GII.P16 polymerase gene had five substitutions compared to earlier strains. These substitutions are located near sites responsible for the enzyme activity of polymerase and could affect the transmissivity of the virus. Acquisition of a novel variant of the GII.P16 polymerase gene by noroviruses with different capsid protein genotypes probably provides certain advantages for recombinants and creates prerequisites for their wide distribution.

description: Radiofrequency spin flippers (RFSF) are key elements of Neutron Resonance Spin Echo (NRSE) spectrometers, which allow performing controlled manipulations of the beam polarization. We report on the design and test of a new type of RFSF which originality lies in the new manufacturing technique for the static coil. The largely automated procedure ensures reproducible construction as well as an excellent homogeneity of the neutron magnetic resonance condition over the coil volume. Two salient features of this concept are the large neutron window and the closure of the coil by a $μ$-metal yoke which prevents field leakage outside of the coil volume. These properties are essential for working with large beams and enable new applications with coils tilted with respect to the beam axis such as neutron Larmor diffraction or the study of dispersive excitations by inelastic NRSE.

description: Resonant vibrational excitation cross sections and the corresponding rate coefficients for electron-N$_2$ collisions occurring through the N$_2^-(\textrm{X}\ ^2Π_g)$ resonant state are reviewed. New calculations are performed using accurate potential energies curves for the N$_2$ electronic ground state, taken from literature, and for the N$_2^-$ resonant state, obtained from $R$-matrix calculations. The calculations are extended also to the resonant excitation processes involving the N$_2$ ground state vibrational continuum, leading to dissociation. Electron impact dissociation is found to be significant from higher vibrational levels. Accurate analytical fits for the complete set of the rate coefficients are provided. The behavior of the dissociative cross sections is investigated for rotationally excited N$_2$ molecules, with $J=50,100$ and 150 and for different vibrational levels.

description: Radiotherapy is one of the most effective and most commonly used methods of cancer treatment. However, as a result of irradiation, there are side effects that occur as a result of ionizing radiation on healthy tissues. The use of a combined approach with the use of low doses of radiation and antitumor drugs that have a radiosensitizing effect may be one of the ways to reduce side effects and overcome the resistance of malignant cells. This study was undertaken to evaluate the combined effects of radiotherapy and the chemotherapeutic agent Doxorubicin on A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cell line. The cells were incubated with the antitumor antibiotic Doxorubicin and then exposed to high-energy electron ionizing radiation. The cell viability was examined using the MTT assay. The results showed that Doxorubicin acts as a radiosensitizer. Moreover, the combined effect of Doxorubicin and high-energy ionizing radiation of electrons is additive. According to the obtained results, combination therapy used in the treatment of oncological diseases can significantly reduce the radiation dose and minimize the side effects that occur during high doses of irradiation.

description: The BICEP2 collaboration has recently reported a large tensor fluctuation in the cosmic microwave background, which suggests chaotic inflation models. In this letter, we reconsider the chaotic inflation model in the supergravity. We introduce a non-holomorphic shift-symmetry breaking parameter, which we expect to exist in general, and discuss its effect on the inflaton dynamics. We show that the model predicts a sizable deviation from the original chaotic inflation model and the predicted tensor fluctuation can lie between the BICEP2 result and the upper bound given by the Planck experiment with a small shift-symmetry breaking parameter. The model is characterized by only two parameters, which yields predictability and testability in future experiments.

description: Black phosphorus thin films might offer attractive alternatives to narrow gap compound semiconductors for optoelectronics across mid- to near-infrared frequencies. In this work, we calculate the optical conductivity tensor of multilayer black phosphorus thin films using the Kubo formula within an effective low-energy Hamiltonian. The optical absorption spectra of multilayer black phosphorus are shown to vary sensitively with thickness, doping, and light polarization. In conjunction with experimental spectra obtained from infrared absorption spectroscopy, we also discuss the role of interband coupling and disorder on the observed anisotropic absorption spectra.

description: Next POI recommendation intends to forecast users' immediate future movements given their current status and historical information, yielding great values for both users and service providers. However, this problem is perceptibly complex because various data trends need to be considered together. This includes the spatial locations, temporal contexts, user's preferences, etc. Most existing studies view the next POI recommendation as a sequence prediction problem while omitting the collaborative signals from other users. Instead, we propose a user-agnostic global trajectory flow map and a novel Graph Enhanced Transformer model (GETNext) to better exploit the extensive collaborative signals for a more accurate next POI prediction, and alleviate the cold start problem in the meantime. GETNext incorporates the global transition patterns, user's general preference, spatio-temporal context, and time-aware category embeddings together into a transformer model to make the prediction of user's future moves. With this design, our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with a large margin and also sheds light on the cold start challenges within the spatio-temporal involved recommendation problems.

description: Pressure sores remain an important clinical problem with significant socioeconomic implications. The pressure sores treatment via reparative processes activation in tissues by low-temperature plasma discharges was studied in the present work. Low-temperature plasma discharges were initiated by high-frequency 0.11, 2.64, 6.78, and 13.56 MHz current. It is shown that the optimal current frequency for the generation of the cold plasma is 6.78 MHz. This current frequency was used in clinical studies of pressure sores treatment with cold plasma discharges of the glow type. The efficiency of treatment was evaluated by analysis of histological samples, histochemical and bacteriological methods. Low-temperature plasma discharge treatment improved the dynamic of pressure sore healing, activated reparative processes in injured tissues, and decreased bacteria numbers in a wound. The most pronounced effect was observed after 14-21 days. The low-temperature plasma discharges accelerated pressure sores healing from 14 to 16% compared with non-treated by cold plasma wound. The effect depended on the pressure sores etiology. Low-temperature plasma discharges of glow type may be considered as an effective approach to pressure sores therapy.

description: Using fluorescence microscopy, morphological analysis of cell growth, and PCR analysis, we have shown that deletion of the Satb2 transcription factor in mouse cortical neurons results in impaired neuronal network development in vitro. It was found that primary cell cultures of the cerebral cortex obtained from Satb2-null mice are not able to form a developed network of neurites during 5 days of cultivation, while cells from control mice are characterized at this time by a fully developed network of neuronal processes. Analysis of protein kinases expression involved in the processes of neuron differentiation and neurites growth showed that deletion of Satb2 leads to suppression of the expression of genes encoding protein kinase C (PKC), protein kinase B (Akt/PKB), mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8) and Ca2+/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), while not affecting the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Activation of neurites outgrowth and differentiation of Satb2-null neurons was achieved by the application of exogenous activators of Akt/PKB, CaMKII and PI3K, but not PKC, the expression and activity of which is probably completely suppressed by the deletion of Satb2.

description: In this paper, we consider Universe filled with two-component fluid. We study two different models. In the first model we assume barotropic fluid with the linear equation of state as the first component of total fluid. In the second model we assume Van der Waals gas as the first component of total fluid. In both models, the second component assumed generalized ghost dark energy. We consider also interaction between component and discuss, numerically, cosmological quantities for two different parametrization of EoS which varies with time. We consider this as a toy model of our Universe. We fix parameters of the model by using generalized second law of thermodynamics. Comparing our results with some observational data suggests interacting barotropic fluid with EoS parameter $ω(t)=ω_{0}\cos(tH)+ω_{1}t\frac{\dot{H}}{H}$ and generalized ghost dark energy as an appropriate model to describe our Universe.

description: When a particle diffuses in a medium with spatially dependent friction coefficient $α(r)$ at constant temperature $T$, it drifts toward the low friction end of the system even in the absence of any real physical force $f$. This phenomenon, which has been previously studied in the context of non-inertial Brownian dynamics, is termed "spurious drift", although the drift is real and stems from an inertial effect taking place at the short temporal scales. Here, we study the diffusion of particles in inhomogeneous media within the framework of the inertial Langevin equation. We demonstrate that the quantity which characterizes the dynamics with non-uniform $α(r)$ is not the displacement of the particle $Δr=r-r^0$ (where $r^0$ is the initial position), but rather $ΔA(r)=A(r)-A(r^0)$, where $A(r)$ is the primitive function of $α(r)$. We derive expressions relating the mean and variance of $ΔA$ to $f$, $T$, and the duration of the dynamics $Δt$. For a constant friction coefficient $α(r)=α$, these expressions reduce to the well known forms of the force-drift and fluctuation-dissipation relations. We introduce a very accurate method for Langevin dynamics simulations in systems with spatially varying $α(r)$, and use the method to validate the newly derived expressions.

In Iran Civil society organizations play a significant role, despite operating under restrictions imposed by the government. In terms of forest governance, CSOs contribute to various aspects of forest management, conservation, and sustainable development through their activities, advocacy, and participation. However, they face several challenges that hinder them to develop their activities properly, such as restrictive legal frameworks, inadequate funding and resources, limited collaboration and coordination among CSOs, government agencies, and other stakeholders, political pressure or resistance from powerful interest groups, and a lack of awareness about the importance of forests in the society.

description: Poor communication and lack of standardized handover practices contribute to adverse events. Intensive care organizations recommend standardized, structured written and verbal handover. Investigate the effectiveness of, and barriers to, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patient handover at ward transfer. Screen for patient safety incidents related to poor handover and improve practice where deficiencies are identified. A survey of ward doctors about specific ICU to ward transfers and online surveys ascertaining opinions of handover processes were sent to ward-based and ICU doctors at a large, adult, university affiliated, Australian quaternary hospital. We delivered departmental education and created then publicized a new electronic ICU transfer summary. The summary included a mandatory tick-box to confirm verbal handover completion. Surveys re-assessing practice were then performed. Forty ward-based doctors were surveyed about specific transfers, with 7 (18%) instances of issues related to handover identified. Eighty-seven ward doctors completed the pre-interventions survey; 48 (55%) were aware of the existing written transfer summary. Post-interventions, 47 (75%) of 63 ward doctor responders were aware of it (p < 0.05). Pre-interventions, 14 (16%) ward doctors rated ICU handovers as excellent or good, rising to 21 (34%) post-interventions (p < 0.05). Thirty-nine ICU doctors completed the pre-interventions survey; 5 (13%) rated ICU to ward handover as excellent or good, rising to 9 (35%) when re-surveyed (p = 0.097). The perceived quality of ICU to ward handover improved after our interventions. However, ICU doctors continue to transfer patients without verbally handing over, with contacting the ward team representing a significant handover barrier.

description: We study the properties of self-bound liquid droplets of three-dimensional Bose mixtures in a weak random potential with Gaussian correlation function at both zero and finite temperatures. Using the Bogoliubov theory, we derive useful formulas for the ground-state energy, the equilibrium density, the depletion, and the anomalous density of the droplet. The quantum fluctuation induced by the disorder known as the glassy fraction is also systematically computed. At finite temperature, we calculate the free energy, the thermal equilibrium density, and the critical temperature in terms of the disorder parameters. We show that when the strength and the correlation length of the disorder potential exceed a certain critical value, the droplet evaporates and is eventually entirely destroyed. We calculate the density profiles of this exotic state by means of numerical simulations of the corresponding generalized disorder Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our predictions reveal that as the strength of the disorder gets larger, the atomic density varies rapidly in the plateau region. We point out in addition that the peculiar interplay of the disorder and the repulsive Lee-Huang-Yang corrections play a pivotal role in the collective modes of the self-bound droplet.

description: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) usually occurs in a dense star-forming region with massive circum-burst medium. The small-angle scattering of intense prompt X-ray emission off the surrounding dust grains will have observable consequences, and sometimes can dominate the X-ray afterglow. In most of the previous studies, only Rayleigh-Gans (RG) approximation is employed for describing the scattering process, which works accurately for the typical size of grains (with radius $a\leq 0.1\,{\rm μm}$) in the diffuse interstellar medium. When the size of the grains may significantly increase as in a more dense region where GRBs would occur, the RG approximation may not be valid enough for modeling detailed observational data. In order to study the temporal and spectral properties of the scattered X-ray emission more accurately with potentially larger dust grains, we provide a practical approach using the series expansions of anomalous diffraction (AD) approximation based on the complicated Mie theory. We apply our calculations to understanding the puzzling X-ray afterglow of recently observed GRB~130925A which showed a significant spectral softening. We find that the X-ray scattering scenarios with either AD or RG approximation adopted could both well reproduce the temporal and spectral profile simultaneously. Given the plateau present in early X-ray light curve, a typical distribution of smaller grains as in the interstellar medium would be suggested for GRB 130925A.

description: To study how the environment can influence the relation between stellar mass and effective radius of nearby galaxies (z < 0.12), we use a mass-complete sample extracted from the NYU-Value Added Catalogue. This sample contains almost 232000 objects with masses up to $3\times10^{11}M_{\odot}$. For every galaxy in our sample, we explore the surrounding density within 2 Mpc using two different estimators of the environment. We find that galaxies tend to be larger in the field than in high density regions. This effect is more pronounced for late-type morphologies (~7.5% larger) and especially at low masses ($M < 2\times10^{10}M_{\odot}$), although early-type galaxies also show differences (~3.5%). The environment also leaves a subtle imprint in the scatter of the stellar mass-size relation. This scatter is larger in low density regions than in high density regions for both morphologies, on average ~3.5% larger for early-type and ~0.8% for late-type galaxies. Late-type galaxies with low masses ($M<2\times10^{10}M_{\odot}$) show the largest differences in the scatter among environments. The scatter is ~20% larger in the field than in clusters for these objects. Our analysis suggest that galaxies in clusters form earlier than those in the field. In addition, cluster galaxies seem to be originated from a more homogeneous family of progenitors.

description: Non-geometric string backgrounds were proposed to be related to a non-associative deformation of the space-time geometry. In the flux formulation of double field theory (DFT), the structure of mathematically possible non-associative deformations is analyzed in detail. It is argued that on-shell there should not be any violation of associativity in the effective DFT action. For imposing either the strong or the weaker closure constraint we discuss two possible non-associative deformations of DFT featuring two different ways how on-shell associativity can still be kept.

Searching data using the ODISSEI Portal

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Datasets are often scattered across different institutional, national, and international repositories. In the case of CBS microdata, the only public information about available datasets used to be in pdf files, organised thematically, accessible only via the CBS website. This fragmented landscape limits the findability of new data sources a researcher might not be accustomed to, and makes the process of selecting an appropriate data source time-consuming and inefficient. The goal of the ODISSEI Portal is to enable and facilitate the discovery of social sciences datasets across various data providers in the Netherlands within a single interface. The Portal currently collects metadata from social science datasets available at DANS (the Dutch national centre of expertise and repository for research data), DataverseNL and the International Institute for Social History (IISH), from the LISS archive, and from the microdata catalogue available at Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Metadata of these collections is harmonised and enriched using a thesaurus which enables multilingual search, while the user interface allows users to search across all datasets available in these collections to find data relevant for their research. The prototype ODISSEI Portal is publicly available (https://portal.odissei.nl/) in order to be able to get feedback from the community on the design features and functionalities. During the demo presentation, after a brief introduction we will show the latest version of the Portal to the ODISSEI community. A virtual "suggestion box" will be made available to all participants in the session.

description: Chronic non-medically indicated PPIs are highly prescribed worldwide. The long-term side effects of PPI must be wisely considered during an extended prescription duration. Our study purpose is to assess the impact of providing patients and physicians with educational guides on the rates of reducing or eliminating PPIs. A controlled study targeting adult patients with chronic PPI use was conducted in a family medicine center in Beirut. Block randomization was employed. Patients (n = 140) were equally divided into an intervention group consisting of a patient-oriented informative and motivational leaflet and a control group having the same follow-up without having the leaflet. All participants filled a questionnaire. All participants received a short phone call in 2 and 6 months. An e-mail clarifying the objective of this study was sent to all physicians and supplemented with a PPI deprescribing algorithm. At the 6-month follow-up, the rate of participants who talked to treating physicians about their PPI therapy was higher in the intervention group (p-value<0.0001), and the rate of participants who stepped down or off PPI was higher in the intervention group (p-value<0.0001). In participants who stepped down or off PPI, the reported breakthrough symptoms decreased over time (moderate: 24.2%, mild: 35.5%, and nil: 40.3% at 2-month follow-up; and moderate: 0%, mild: 55.4% and nil: 44.6% at 6-month follow-up; p-value<0.0001). A low‐intensity, low‐cost, and easily replicable intervention encouraged a significant number of long‐term users of PPIs to reduce or stop these medications without causing significant breakthrough symptoms.
Enhanced Thermoelectric Performance and Anomalous Seebeck Effects in Topological Insulators

description: Improving the thermoelectric figure of merit zT is one of the greatest challenges in material science. Recent discovery of topological insulators (TIs) offers new promise in this prospect. In this work, we demonstrate theoretically that zT is strongly size dependent in TI, and the size parameter can be tuned to enhance zT to be significantly greater than 1. Furthermore, we show that the life time of the edge states in TI is strongly energy dependent, leading to large and anomalous Seebeck effects with an opposite sign to the Hall effect. These striking properties make TIs the promising material for thermoelectrics science and technology.

A survey of FAIR implementation practices in the Dutch SSH communities
Creators: name: Maineri, Angelica Maria

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The FAIR Expertise Hub for the Social Sciences has been established to support data communities in the social sciences with improving their compliance with the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability). Despite a wide endorsement of the principles, FAIR implementation has been heterogeneous across research communities. The SSH communities, in particular, encounter challenges related to a) findability and accessibility with highly sensitive data; b) lack of semantic resources to make data interoperable; c) lack of machine actionable resources supporting reusability. Over the past months, the FAIR Expertise Hub has supported some SSH data communities at defining their FAIR Implementation Profile (FIP), or a collection of choices regarding the application of the FAIR principles. In the presentation, we will review the outcomes of the work done on the FIPs by presenting the preliminary results on the state of FAIR in the Dutch SSH communities, and discuss the challenges and bottlenecks experienced in the process as well as the plans ahead.
The targum (1932:June 11)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1932

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: While no hospitalization is inexpensive, some are extremely costly. Learning from these exceptions is critical. The patients and conditions that ultimately translate into the most exorbitant adult hospitalizations have not been characterized. To analyze and detail characteristics of extreme high-cost adult hospitalizations in the United States using the most recently available Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) data. The NIS 2018 database was queried for all adult hospitalizations with hospital charges greater than $333,000. Multivariable linear regression was used in the analyses. The main outcome measures were total charges, mortality, length of stay, admitting diagnosis, and procedures. There were 538,121 adults age ≥18 years with total hospital charges ≥$333,333. Among these patients 481,856 (89.5%) survived their hospitalization and 56,265 (10.4%) died. Males, older patients, being insured by Medicare, having more comorbid illness, and those who were transferred from another hospital were significantly more likely to die during the incident hospitalization (all p < 0.01). Patients who died had even more costly hospitalizations with more procedures (mean [SD]: 10.7 [±6.4] versus 7.0 [± 5.9], p < 0.01), and longer lengths of stay after adjustment for confounders (p = 0.01). Hundreds of thousands of adult patients are hospitalized in the US each year at extremely high costs. For both those who survive and the 10% who die, there may be opportunities for reducing the expense. Interventions, such as predictive modeling and systematic goals of care discussions with all patients, deserve further study.

description: We propose a scenario for realizing super-Planckian axion decay constants in Calabi-Yau orientifolds of type IIB string theory, leading to large-field inflation. Our construction is a simple embedding in string theory of the mechanism of Kim, Nilles, and Peloso, in which a large effective decay constant arises from alignment of two smaller decay constants. The key ingredient is gaugino condensation on magnetized or multiply-wound D7-branes. We argue that, under very mild assumptions about the topology of the Calabi-Yau, there are controllable points in moduli space with large effective decay constants.
