description: We present a comparison of Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) parallaxes with photometric parallaxes for a sample of 212 Galactic Cepheids at a median distance of 2~kpc, and explore their implications on the distance scale and the local value of the Hubble constant H_0. The Cepheid distances are estimated from a recent calibration of the near-infrared Period-Luminosity P-L relation. The comparison is carried out in parallax space, where the DR1 parallax errors, with a median value of half the median parallax, are expected to be well-behaved. With the exception of one outlier, the DR1 parallaxes are in remarkably good global agreement with the predictions, and the published errors may be conservatively overestimated by about 20%. The parallaxes of 9 Cepheids brighter than G = 6 may be systematically underestimated, trigonometric parallaxes measured with the HST FGS for three of these objects confirm this trend. If interpreted as an independent calibration of the Cepheid luminosities and assumed to be otherwise free of systematic uncertainties, DR1 parallaxes would imply a decrease of 0.3% in the current estimate of the local Hubble constant, well within their statistical uncertainty, and corresponding to a value 2.5 sigma (3.5 sigma if the errors are scaled) higher than the value inferred from Planck CMB data used in conjunction with Lambda-CDM. We also test for a zeropoint error in Gaia parallaxes and find none to a precision of ~20 muas. We caution however that with this early release, the complete systematic properties of the measurements may not be fully understood at the statistical level of the Cepheid sample mean, a level an order of magnitude below the individual uncertainties. The early results from DR1 demonstrate again the enormous impact that the full mission will likely have on fundamental questions in astrophysics and cosmology.

description: We report the results of a statistical analysis of the space distribution of galaxies within distances about 300 Mpc using the 2MRS catalog, which contains redshifts of 43533 galaxies of the 2MASS all-sky IR survey. Because of the unique features of the 2MRS survey, such as its 90 percent sky coverage, galaxy selection in the IR, the complete incorporation of the old stellar population of galaxies, weakness of the dust extinction effects, and the smallness of the k- and e-corrections allowed us to determine the statistical properties of the global distribution of galaxies in the Local Universe. We took into account the main methodological factors that distort the theoretically expected relations compared to those actually observed. We construct the radial galaxy number counts N(R), SL(R, r) statistics, and the complete correlation function (conditional density) for volume-limited (VL) galaxy samples. The observed conditional density in the redshift space is independent of the luminosity of galaxies and has the form of a power-law function with slope ~ 1.0 over a large range scale-length spanning from 0.1 to 100 Mpc. We compare the statistical properties of the space distribution of galaxies of the 2MRS catalog with the corresponding properties of simulated catalogs: stochastic fractal distributions and galaxies of the Millennium catalog.

description: Purpose: In this paper, we present age-standardized cancer incidence and mortality rates in the Faroe Islands. We also compare with the Nordic rates and show incidence rate ratios (IRR) and mortality rate ratios (MRR). Materials and methods: The Faroese cancer registry (FCR) was established in 1994, with incidence available from 1960 and mortality from 1983. The FCR is a part of the NORDCAN collaboration, where the different Nordic countries all report anonymized cancer data by standardized methods, ensuring comparability. Validation efforts revealed that 13% of cases had not been reported to the FCR from 2006 to 2019, emphasizing the need for continued validation efforts of cancer registries. After validation, we submitted the updated cancer cases to NORDCAN and now present this data, taken directly from the NORDCAN website (2019 data). Results: We found that the incidence of the summary group all cancers in the Faroe Islands increased from 1960 to 2019, while cancer mortality decreased from 1983 to 2019. Comparisons with Nordic rates showed significantly lower IRRs for cancer in all cancers, bladder and urinary tract, and skin cancer for both sexes, while IRR was lower for breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Contrary, IRR was higher for rectum and kidney cancer in women and esophagus and testicular cancer in men. There was an increased MRR for cancer in female organs, bladder and urinary tract, and kidney cancer in women, and esophagus and pancreas cancer in men. In contrast, malignant hematopoietic diseases and melanoma in women had a lower MRR. Conclusions: Cancer incidence in the Faroe Islands was lower than in the other Nordic countries. Of particular interest, the incidence of testicular cancer saw a steep increase during the last 20 years, and an investigation into possible causes for this is needed.

description: We study the behaviour of the dynamical and stellar mass inside the effective radius (re) of early-type galaxies (ETGs). We use several samples of ETGs -ranging from 19 000 to 98 000 objects- from the ninth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We consider Newtonian dynamics, different light profiles and different Initial Mass Functions (IMF) to calculate the dynamical and stellar mass. We assume that any difference between these two masses is due to dark matter and/or a non Universal IMF. The main results for galaxies in the redshift range 0.0024 < z < 0.3500 and in the dynamical mass range 9.5 < log(M) < 12.5 are: i) A significant part of the intrinsic dispersion of the distribution of dynamical vs. stellar mass is due to redshift. ii) The difference between dynamical and stellar mass increases as a function of dynamical mass and decreases as a function of redshift. iii) The difference between dynamical and stellar mass goes from approximately 0% to 70% of the dynamical mass depending on mass and redshift. iv) These differences could be due to dark matter or a non Universal IMF or a combination of both. v) The amount of dark matter inside ETGs would be equal to or less than the difference between dynamical and stellar mass depending on the impact of the IMF on the stellar mass estimation. vi) The previous results go in the same direction of some results of the Fundamental Plane (FP) found in the literature in the sense that they could be interpreted as an increase of dark matter along the FP and a dependence of the FP on redshift.

description: The physical connection among and formation mechanisms of various components of the prominence-horn cavity system remain elusive. Here we present observations of such a system, focusing on a section of the prominence that rises and separates gradually from the main body. This forms a configuration sufficiently simple to yield clues to the above issues. It is characterized by embedding horns, oscillations, and a gradual disappearance of the separated material. The prominence-horn structure exhibits a large amplitude longitudinal oscillation with a period of ~150 minutes and an amplitude of ~30 Mm along the trajectory defined by the concave horn structure. The horns also experience a simultaneous transverse oscillation with a much smaller amplitude (~3 Mm) and shorter period (~10-15 minutes), likely representative of a global mode of the large-scale magnetic structure. The gradual disappearance of the structure indicates that the horn, an observational manifestation of the field-aligned transition region separating the cool and dense prominence from the hot and tenuous corona, is formed due to the heating and diluting process of the central prominence mass, while most previous studies suggest that it is the opposite process, i.e., the cooling and condensation of coronal plasmas, to form the horn. This study also demonstrates how the prominence transports magnetic flux to the upper corona, a process essential for the gradual build-up of pre-eruption magnetic energy.

description: In the present work we use TiO2 nanotube arrays, carrying a Pt coating that is optimally dewetted, as a photocatalyst to generate H2. In order to achieve a maximum H2-generation efficiency, on the one hand an ideal thermal dewetting of the Pt layer into nanoparticles is needed that requires an oxygen free heat treatment, and on the other hand an optimal crystallization of the TiO2 nanotubes into anatase with reduced defect density is achieved only by annealing in O2 containing environment. To overcome this issue, we combine adequate reducing and oxidizing conditions in a multiple annealing treatment, and obtain Pt-decorated anatase TiO2 nanotubes showing significantly enhanced photocatalytic H2 generation ability.

description: Dose escalation for skull-based malignancies often presents risks to critical adjacent neural structures, including the brainstem. We report the incidence of brainstem toxicity following fractionated high-dose conformal proton therapy and associated dosimetric parameters. We performed a single-institution review of patients with skull-base chordoma or chondrosarcoma who were treated with proton therapy between February 2007 and January 2020 on a prospective outcomes-tracking protocol. The primary endpoint was grade ≥2 brainstem toxicity. No patients received concurrent chemotherapy, and brainstem toxicity was censored for analysis if it coincided with local disease progression. We analyzed 163 patients who received a minimum of 45 GyRBE to 0.03 cm3 of the brainstem. Patients were treated to a median total dose of 73.8 (range 64.5–74.4) GyRBE at 1.8 GyRBE per fraction with 17 patients undergoing twice-daily treatment at 1.2 GyRBE per fraction. With a median follow-up of 4 years, the 5-year cumulative incidence of grade ≥2 brainstem injury was 1.3% (95% CI 0.25–4.3%). There was one grade 2, one grade 3, and no grade 4 or 5 events, with all patients recovering function with medical management. In delivering curative-intent radiotherapy for skull-base chordoma and chondrosarcoma in adults, small volumes of the brainstem can safely receive at least 64 GyRBE with minimal risk of serious brainstem injury.

description: The origin of spin of low-mass supermassive black hole (SMBH) is still a puzzle at present. We here report a study on the host galaxies of a sample of radio-selected nearby ($z<0.05$) Seyfert 2 galaxies with a BH mass of $10^{6-7} M_\odot$. By modeling the SDSS $r$-band images of these galaxies through a 2-dimensional bulge+disk decomposition, we identify a new dependence of SMBH's radio power on host bulge surface brightness profile, in which more powerful radio emission comes from a SMBH associated with a more disk-like bulge. This result means low-mass and high-mass SMBHs are spun up by two entirely different modes that correspond to two different evolutionary paths. A low-mass SMBH is spun up by a gas accretion with significant disk-like rotational dynamics of the host galaxy in the secular evolution, while a high-mass one by a BH-BH merger in the merger evolution.

description: Respiratory-induced lung tumor motion may affect the delivered dose in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Previous studies are often based on phantom studies for one specific treatment technique. In this study, the dosimetric effect of tumor motion was quantified in real patient geometries for different modulated treatments and tumor motion amplitudes for lung-SBRT. A simulation method using deformable image registrations and 4-dimensional computed tomographies (4DCT) was developed to assess the dosimetric effects of tumor motion. The method was evaluated with ionization chamber and Gafchromic film measurements in a thorax phantom and used to simulate the effect for 15 patients with lung tumors moving 7.3–27.4 mm. Four treatment plans with different complexities were created for each patient and the motion-induced dosimetric effect to the gross tumor volume (GTV) was simulated. The difference between the planned dose to the static tumor and the simulated delivered dose to the moving tumor was quantified for the near minimum (D98%), near maximum (D2%) and mean dose (Dmean) to the GTV as well as the largest observed local difference within the GTV (Maxdiff). No correlation was found between the dose differences and the tumor motion amplitude or plan complexity. However, the largest deviations were observed for tumors moving >15.0 mm. The simulated delivered dose was within 2.5% from the planned dose for D98% (tumors moving <15 mm) and within 3.3% (tumors moving >15 mm). The corresponding values were 1.7% vs. 6.4% (D2%); 1.7% vs. 2.4% (Dmean) and 8.9% vs. 35.2% (Maxdiff). Using less complex treatment techniques minimized Maxdiff for tumors moving >15.0 mm. The dosimetric effects of respiratory-induced motion during lung SBRT are patient and plan specific. The magnitude of the dosimetric effect cannot be assessed solely based upon tumor motion amplitude or plan complexity.

description: Precision cancer medicine (PCM), frequently used for the expensive and often modestly efficacious off-label treatment with medications matched to the tumour genome of end-stage cancer, challenges healthcare resources. We compared the health effects, costs and cost-effectiveness of our MetAction PCM study with corresponding data from comparator populations given best supportive care (BSC) in two external randomised controlled trials. We designed three partitioned survival models to evaluate the healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as the main outcomes. Cost-effectiveness was calculated as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of PCM relative to BSC with an annual willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of EUR 56,384 (NOK 605,000). One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses addressed uncertainty. We estimated total healthcare costs (relating to next-generation sequencing (NGS) equipment and personnel wages, molecularly matched medications to the patients with an actionable tumour target and follow-up of the responding patients) and the health outcomes for the MetAction patients versus costs (relating to estimated hospital admission) and outcomes for the BSC cases. The ICERs for incremental QALYs were twice or more as high as the WTP threshold and relatively insensitive to cost decrease of the NGS procedures, while reduction of medication prices would contribute significantly towards a cost-effective PCM strategy. The models suggested that the high ICERs of PCM were driven by costs of the NGS diagnostics and molecularly matched medications, with a likelihood for the strategy to be cost-effective defying WTP constraints. Reducing drug expenses to half the list price would likely result in an ICER at the WTP threshold. This can be an incentive for a public-private partnership for sharing drug costs in PCM, exemplified by ongoing European initiatives. NCT02142036

description: The neutron spin resonance is a collective magnetic excitation that appears in copper oxide, iron pnictide, and heavy fermion unconventional superconductors. Although the resonance is commonly associated with a spin-exciton due to the $d$($s^{\pm}$)-wave symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, it has also been proposed to be a magnon-like excitation appearing in the superconducting state. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to demonstrate that the resonance in the heavy fermion superconductor Ce$_{1-x}$Yb$_{x}$CoIn$_5$ with $x=0,0.05,0.3$ has a ring-like upward dispersion that is robust against Yb-doping. By comparing our experimental data with random phase approximation calculation using the electronic structure and the momentum dependence of the $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconducting gap determined from scanning tunneling microscopy for CeCoIn$_5$, we conclude the robust upward dispersing resonance mode in Ce$_{1-x}$Yb$_{x}$CoIn$_5$ is inconsistent with the downward dispersion predicted within the spin-exciton scenario.

description: We discuss the phenomenon of (inverse) magnetic catalysis for both the deconfinement and chiral transition. We discriminate between the hard and soft wall model, which we suitably generalize to include a magnetic field. Our findings show a critical deconfinement temperature going down, in contrast with the chiral restoration temperature growing with increasing magnetic field. This is at odds with contemporary lattice data, so the quest for a holographic QCD model capable of capturing inverse magnetic catalysis in the chiral sector remains open.

description: We revisit the properties and astrophysical implications of the field white dwarf mass distribution in preparation of Gaia applications. Our study is based on the two samples with the best established completeness and most precise atmospheric parameters, the volume-complete survey within 20 pc and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) magnitude-limited sample. We explore the modelling of the observed mass distributions with Monte Carlo simulations, but find that it is difficult to constrain independently the initial mass function (IMF), the initial-to-final-mass relation (IFMR), the stellar formation history (SFH), the variation of the Galactic disk vertical scale height as a function of stellar age, and binary evolution. Each of these input ingredients has a moderate effect on the predicted mass distributions, and we must also take into account biases owing to unidentified faint objects (20 pc sample), as well as unknown masses for magnetic white dwarfs and spectroscopic calibration issues (SDSS sample). Nevertheless, we find that fixed standard assumptions for the above parameters result in predicted mean masses that are in good qualitative agreement with the observed values. It suggests that derived masses for both studied samples are consistent with our current knowledge of stellar and Galactic evolution. Our simulations overpredict by 40-50% the number of massive white dwarfs (M > 0.75 Msun) for both surveys, although we can not exclude a Salpeter IMF when we account for all biases. Furthermore, we find no evidence of a population of double white dwarf mergers in the observed mass distributions.

description: Sepsis is the leading cause of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for cancer patients and survival rates have historically been low. The aims of this nationwide cohort study were to describe the characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients admitted to the ICU with sepsis compared with other sepsis patients requiring ICU admission. This was a retrospective, observational study. All adult admissions to Icelandic ICUs during years 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 were screened for severe sepsis or septic shock by ACCP/SCCM criteria. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of sepsis patients with cancer were compared to those without cancer. In the study period, 235 of 971 (24%) patients admitted to Icelandic ICUs because of sepsis had cancer, most often a solid tumour (100), followed by metastatic tumours (69) and haematological malignancies (66). Infections were more often hospital-acquired in cancer patients (52%) than other sepsis patients (18%, p < 0.001) and sites of infections differed, with abdominal infections being most common in patients with solid and metastatic tumours but lungs and bloodstream infections in haematological malignancies. The length of stay in the ICU was shorter for sepsis patients with metastatic disease than other sepsis patients (2 vs. 4 days, p < 0.001) and they were more likely to have treatment limitations (52 vs. 19%, p < 0.05). Median survival of patients with metastatic disease was 19 days from ICU admission. The 28-day mortality (25%) of solid tumour patients was comparable to that of sepsis patients without cancer (20%, p < 0.001). Cancer is a common comorbidity in patients admitted to the ICU with sepsis. The clinical presentation and outcome differs between cancer types. Individuals with metastatic cancer were unlikely to receive prolonged invasive ICU care treatment. Comparable short-term outcome was found for patients with solid tumours and no cancer.

description: We report ultra-strong high-order nonlinear multiphoton processes in monolayer MoS$_2$ (1L-MoS$_2$): the third harmonic is thirty times stronger than the second harmonic, and the fourth harmonic is comparable to the second harmonic. We find that second and third harmonic processes are strongly dependent on elliptical polarization, which can be used to selectively tune harmonic generation with different orders. We explain this by calculating the nonlinear response functions of 1L-MoS$_2$ with a continuum-model Hamiltonian and quantum-mechanical diagrammatic perturbation theory, highlighting the crucial role of trigonal warping. A similar effect is expected for all other transition-metal dichalcogenides. Our results pave the way for efficient and tunable harmonic generation based on layered materials for various applications, including microscopy and imaging

description: In organic bulk heterojunction solar cells, the open circuit voltage ($V_\mathrm{oc}$) suffers from an ultra-high loss at low temperatures. In this work we investigate the origin of the loss through calculating the $V_\mathrm{oc}-T$ plots with the device model method systematically and comparing it with experimentally observed ones. When the energetic disorder is incorporated into the model by considering the disorder-suppressed and temperature-dependent charge carrier mobilities, it is found that for nonselective contacts the $V_\mathrm{oc}$ reduces drastically under the low temperature regime, while for selective contacts the $V_\mathrm{oc}$ keeps increasing with the decreasing temperature. The main reason is revealed that as the temperature decreases, the reduced mobilities give rise to low charge extraction efficiency and small bimolecular recombination rate for the photogenerated charge carriers, so that in the former case they can be extracted from the wrong electrode to form a leakage current which counteracts the photocurrent and increases quickly with voltage, leading to the anomalous reduction of $V_\mathrm{oc}$. In addition, it is revealed that the charge generation rate is slow-varying with temperature and does not induce significant $V_\mathrm{oc}$ loss. This work also provides a comprehensive picture for the $V_\mathrm{oc}$ behavior under varying device working conditions.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of patient positioning based on either bone or soft-tissue matching for PT in oesophageal cancer and its impact on plan adaptation. Two retrospective patient cohorts treated with radiotherapy were included in the study. Cohort A consisted of 26 consecutive patients with a planning 4DCT scan (CT1) and a surveillance 4DCT scan (CT2) at fraction ten. Cohort B consisted of 17 patients selected based on large anatomical changes identified during treatment resulting in a rescan (CT2). Mean dose to the iCTV (sum of the CTVs in all respiratory phases) was 50.4 Gy (RBE) in 28 fractions or 41.4 Gy (RBE) in 23 fractions. A nominal pencil beam scanning plan was created using two posterior beams and robust optimization (5 mm setup, 3.5% range). For each patient, two rigid registrations were made between average (avg) CT1 and CT2: a match on the vertebral column (bone match) and a match on the iCTV (soft-tissue match). Robustness towards setup (5 mm) and range (3.5%) errors was evaluated at CT2. Robustness towards respiration was evaluated by recalculation of the plan on all phases of the CT2 scan. Dose coverage <96% would trigger adaptation. The statistical significance (p-value <0.05) between dose coverage for the two registration methods was assessed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. All plans fulfilled V95%iCTV>99% for the nominal plan and V95%iCTV>97% for all respiratory phases and robustness scenarios at CT1. In two (8%) and three (18%) patients, V95%iCTV<96% on CT2 for Cohort A and B, respectively when bone match was used. For soft-tissue match, V95%iCTV >96% for all patients. V95%iCTV was significantly higher (p-value = 0.0001) for soft-tissue match than bone match. Anatomical changes during the treatment course led to target dose deterioration and a need for plan adaptation when using a bone match.

description: Organ-sparing treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer by maximal transurethral removal of the tumor (TURB) followed by chemoradiation (CRT) has shown promising results in recent studies, and is therefore considered to be an acceptable alternative for the standard of radical cystectomy (RC) in selected patients. We report on outcomes in a single-center, retrospective CRT cohort in comparison to a RC and radiotherapy only (RT) cohort. The patient population included n = 84 CRT patients, n = 93 RC patients, and n = 95 RT patients. Primary endpoints were local control (LC) up to 2 years and overall survival (OS) up to 5 years. Cox regression was performed to determine risk factors for LC and OS in the CRT group. Acute genito-urinary (GU) and gastro-intestinal (GI) toxicity were scored with CTCAE version 4 for the RT and CRT cohort. Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors for toxicity. We followed the EQUATOR guidelines for reporting, using the STROBE checklist for observational research. Baseline characteristics were different between the treatment groups with in particular worse comorbidity scores and higher age in the RT cohort. The CRT schedule was completed by 96% of the patients. LC at 2 years was 83.4% (90% CI 76.0–90.8) for CRT vs. 70.9% (62.2–79.6) for RC and 67.0% (56.8–77.2) for RT. OS at 5 years was 48.9% (38.4–59.4) for CRT vs. 46.6% (36.4–56.8) for RC, and 27.6% (19.4–35.8) for RT. High T stage was significantly associated with worse LC and OS in the CRT group. GU/GI toxicity grade ≥2 occurred in 43 (48.3%) RT patients and 38 (45.2%) CRT patients. The organ-preserving strategy with CRT was feasible and tolerable in this patient population, and the achieved LC and OS were satisfactory in comparison to the RC cohort and literature.

description: The number of nonrelativistic axions can be changed by inelastic reactions that produce photons or relativistic axions. Any odd number of axions can annihilate into two photons. Any even number of nonrelativistic axions can scatter into two relativistic axions. We calculate the rate at which axions are lost from axion stars from these inelastic reactions. In dilute systems of axions, the dominant inelastic reaction is axion decay into two photons. In sufficiently dense systems of axions, the dominant inelastic reaction is the scattering of four nonrelativistic axions into two relativistic axions. The scattering of odd numbers of axions into two photons produces monochromatic radio-frequency signals at odd-integer harmonics of the fundamental frequency set by the axion mass. This provides a unique signature for dense systems of axions, such as a dense axion star or a collapsing dilute axion star.

description: We present solutions of the BCS gap equation in the channels ${}^1S_0$ and ${}^3P_2-{}^3F_2$ in neutron matter based on nuclear interactions derived within chiral effective field theory (EFT). Our studies are based on a representative set of nonlocal nucleon-nucleon (NN) plus three-nucleon (3N) interactions up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) as well as local and semilocal chiral NN interactions up to N$^2$LO and N$^4$LO, respectively. In particular, we investigate for the first time the impact of subleading 3N forces at N$^3$LO on pairing gaps and also derive uncertainty estimates by taking into account results for pairing gaps at different orders in the chiral expansion. Finally, we discuss different methods for obtaining self-consistent solutions of the gap equation. Besides the widely-used quasi-linear method by Khodel et al. we demonstrate that the modified Broyden method is well applicable and exhibits a robust convergence behavior. In contrast to Khodel's method it is based on a direct iteration of the gap equation without imposing an auxiliary potential and is straightforward to implement.
