description: We connect between the problem of thermodynamics of localized magnetic moments in a Dirac semimetal, the interaction with relativistic electrons leading to the effective ferromagnetic exchange between the moments, and the existing theories dealing with long--range exchange interaction. We point out that the results of high--temperature expansion for the free energy of a dilute ensemble of magnetic impurities in the semimetal performed by V. Cheianov et al. (Phys. Rev. B {\bf 86}, 054424 (2012)) give an indication to the existence of a new disordered fixed point in such model.

description: Antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic gram-negative bacteria is one of the most pressing challenges in the field of infectious diseases and is one of 4 key areas of unmet medical need identified by the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group (ARLG). The mission of the Gram-Negative Committee is to advance our knowledge of these challenging infections and implement studies to improve patient outcomes. Studies have fallen primarily into 2 broad categories: prospective cohort studies and interventional trials. Among the observational studies, CRACKLE (Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Other Enterobacteriaceae) has contributed seminal multicenter data describing risk factors and clinical outcomes of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in sentinel US hospitals. Building on this success, CRACKLE II will expand the network to hospitals across the United States and Colombia. Similar protocols have been proposed to include Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (SNAP and POP studies). In addition, the CREST study (Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Solid Organ Transplant Patients) has provided pivotal data on extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and CRE carriage among solid organ transplant recipients to inform management of this vulnerable patient population. Two clinical trials to define novel ways of using an existing antibiotic, fosfomycin, to treat ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (one that has completed enrollment and the other in late protocol development) will determine the clinical efficacy of fosfomycin as step-down oral therapy to treat complicated urinary tract infections. Additional clinical studies and trials using immunotherapeutic or newly approved agents are also in the planning stage, with the main goals of generating actionable data that will inform clinical decision making and facilitate development of new treatment options for highly resistant gram-negative bacterial infections.

description: The flux of geoneutrinos at any point on the Earth is a function of the abundance and distribution of radioactive elements within our planet. This flux has been successfully detected by the 1-kt KamLAND and 0.3-kt Borexino detectors with these measurements being limited by their low statistics. The planned 20-kt JUNO detector will provide an exciting opportunity to obtain a high statistics measurement, which will provide data to address several questions of geological importance. This paper presents the JUNO detector design concept, the expected geo-neutrino signal and corresponding backgrounds. The precision level of geo-neutrino measurements at JUNO is obtained with the standard least-squares method. The potential of the Th/U ratio and mantle measurements is also discussed.

Muon g-2 and galactic centre $γ$-ray excess in a scalar extension of the 2HDM type-X

description: We consider an extension of the lepto-specific 2HDM with an extra singlet $S$ as a dark matter candidate. Taking into account theoretical and experimental constraints, we investigate the possibility to address both the $γ$-ray excess detected at the Galactic centre and the discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and experimental results of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Our analyses reveal that the $SS \to τ^+ τ^-$ and $SS \to b \bar b$ channels reproduce the Galactic centre excess, with an emerging dark matter candidate which complies with the bounds from direct detection experiments, measurements of the Higgs boson invisible decay width and observations of the dark matter relic abundance. Addressing the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon imposes further strong constraints on the model. Remarkably, under these conditions, the $SS \to b \bar b$ channel still allows for the fitting of the Galactic centre. We also comment on a scenario allowed by the model where the $SS \to τ^+ τ^-$ and $SS \to b \bar b$ channels have comparable branching ratios, which possibly yield an improved fitting of the Galactic centre excess.

description: Background: We investigated changes in hepatic fibrosis, based on transient elastography (TE), among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with and without hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Zambia.

Methods: Patients' liver stiffness measurements (LSM; kiloPascals [kPa]) at ART initiation were categorized as no or minimal fibrosis (equivalent to Metavir F0-F1), significant fibrosis (F2-F3), and cirrhosis (F4). TE was repeated following 1 year of ART. Stratified by HBV coinfection status (hepatitis B surface antigen positive at baseline), we described LSM change and the proportion with an increase/decrease in fibrosis category. Using multivariable logistic regression, we assessed correlates of significant fibrosis/cirrhosis at 1 year on ART.

Results: Among 463 patients analyzed (61 with HBV coinfection), median age was 35 years, 53.7% were women, and median baseline CD4+ count was 240 cells/mm3. Nearly all (97.6%) patients received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing ART, in line with nationally recommended first-line treatment. The median LSM change was -0.70 kPa (95% confidence interval, -3.0 to +1.7) and was similar with and without HBV coinfection. Significant fibrosis/cirrhosis decreased in frequency from 14.0% to 6.7% (P < .001). Increased age, male sex, and HBV coinfection predicted significant fibrosis/cirrhosis at 1 year (all P < .05).

Conclusion: The percentage of HIV-infected Zambian adults with elevated liver stiffness suggestive of significant fibrosis/cirrhosis decreased following ART initiation-regardless of HBV status. This suggests that HIV infection plays a role in liver inflammation. HBV-coinfected patients were more likely to have significant fibrosis/cirrhosis at 1 year on ART.

description: In this thesis, different immunotherapy strategies we employed to combat mismatch-repair-deficient (dMMR) cancer. We used two preclinical mouse models, either having constitutional (Mlh1) or conditional (Msh2) knock out. To prevent resistance development and improve outcome, we focused on combination strategies including whole tumor vaccines, immune checkpoint-inhibitors (α-PD-L1), classical chemotherapy or the Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor abemaciclib. By applying different combination strategies, a significant survival benefit was reached in all investigated treatments.

description: We report on the formation of critical states in disordered graphene, at the origin of variable and unconventional transport properties in the quantum Hall regime, such as a zero-energy Hall conductance plateau in the absence of an energy bandgap and Landau level degeneracy breaking. By using efficient real-space transport methodologies, we compute both the dissipative and Hall conductivities of large size graphene sheets with random distribution of model single and double vacancies. By analyzing the scaling of transport coefficients with defect density, system size and magnetic length, we elucidate the origin of anomalous quantum Hall features as magnetic-field dependent impurity states, which percolate at some critical energies. These findings shed light on unidentified states and quantum transport anomalies reported experimentally.

description: Background: Studies have shown a recent upsurge in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) burden among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China, especially in urban areas. For intervention planning and resource allocation, spatial analyses of HIV/AIDS case-clusters were required to identify epidemic foci and trends among MSM in China.

Methods: Information regarding MSM recorded as HIV/AIDS cases during 2006-2015 were extracted from the National Case Reporting System. Demographic trends were determined through Cochran-Armitage trend tests. Distribution of case-clusters was examined using spatial autocorrelation. Spatial-temporal scan was used to detect disease clustering. Spatial correlations between cases and socioenvironmental factors were determined by spatial regression.

Results: Between 2006 and 2015, in China, 120 371 HIV/AIDS cases were identified among MSM. Newly identified HIV/AIDS cases among self-reported MSM increased from 487 cases in 2006 to >30 000 cases in 2015. Among those HIV/AIDS cases recorded during 2006-2015, 47.0% were 20-29 years old and 24.9% were aged 30-39 years. Based on clusters of HIV/AIDS cases identified through spatial analysis, the epidemic was concentrated among MSM in large cities. Spatial-temporal clusters contained municipalities, provincial capitals, and main cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Guangzhou. Spatial regression analysis showed that sociodemographic indicators such as population density, per capita gross domestic product, and number of county-level medical institutions had statistically significant positive correlations with HIV/AIDS among MSM.

Conclusions: Assorted spatial analyses revealed an increasingly concentrated HIV epidemic among young MSM in Chinese cities, calling for targeted health education and intensive interventions at an early age.

description: Die Brachytherapie mit Ruthenium-Applikatoren gilt als effektive Methode zur Behandlung von intraokularen Tumoren. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, inwiefern die chemische Zusammensetzung der Bestandteile des Auges einen Einfluss auf die Dosisdeposition bei der Bestrahlung mit einem Ruthenium-106 Augenapplikator hat. Dafür wird ein generisches Augenmodell konstruiert, das anatomisch an das menschliche Auge approximiert ist. Des Weiteren werden den jeweiligen Strukturen ihre chemischen Zusammensetzungen zugeordnet und Simulationen mit einem Augenmodell aus Wasser und einem Modell, welches aus den organischen Materialien besteht, durchgeführt. Der Vergleich der Tiefendosiskurven bestätigt den Einfluss der chemischen Zusammensetzung auf die Dosisdeposition. Simulationen, in denen die jeweiligen Strukturen der Dosisaufnahme dienen, zeigen, in welchen Augenbestandteilen dieser Einfluss für die Brachytherapie innerhalb eines klinischen Annahmebereiches liegt.
description: Brachytherapy with ruthenium plaques is considered as an effective method of treatment of intraocular tumors. This thesis examines the influence of the chemical composition of the eye tissues on the dose deposition by irradiation with a Ruthenium- 106 eye plaque. Therefore a generic eye model is constructed, which is anatomically approximated to the human eye. Furthermore, the chemical compositions of the eye tissues are assigned to the respective structures and simulations are executed with an eye model made of water and a model made of the organic materials. The comparison of the depth dose curves confirms the influence of the chemical composition on the dose deposition. Simulations in which the respective structures are used for dose detection show in which eye components this influence for brachytherapy lies within a clinical acceptance range.

description: Continuous-time quantum error correction (CTQEC) is a technique for protecting quantum information against decoherence, where both the decoherence and error correction processes are considered continuous in time. Given any [[n,k,d]] quantum stabilizer code, we formulate a class of protocols to implement CTQEC, involving weak coherent measurements and weak unitary corrections. Under this formalism, we show that the minimal required size of the ancillary system is n-k+1 qubits, and we propose one scheme that meets this minimal requirement. Furthermore, we compare our method with other known schemes, and show that a particular measure of performance described in this paper is better when using our method.

description: Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths among older women, aged 65 years or older. Screening mammography has been shown to be effective in reducing breast cancer mortality in women aged 50–74 years but not among those aged 75 years or older. Given the large heterogeneity in comorbidity status and life expectancy among older women, controversy remains over screening mammography in this population. Diminished life expectancy with aging may decrease the potential screening benefit and increase the risk of harms. In this review, we summarize the evidence on screening mammography utilization, performance, and outcomes and highlight evidence gaps. Optimizing the screening strategy will involve separating older women who will benefit from screening from those who will not benefit by using information on comorbidity status and life expectancy. This review has identified areas related to screening mammography in older women that warrant additional research, including the need to evaluate emerging screening technologies, such as tomosynthesis among older women and precision cancer screening. In the absence of randomized controlled trials, the benefits and harms of continued screening mammography in older women need to be estimated using both population-based cohort data and simulation models.
The role of binarity in Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae

description: Over a hundred planetary nebulae (PNe) are known to have H-deficient central stars that mimic the spectroscopic appearance of massive Wolf-Rayet stars. The formation of these low-mass Wolf-Rayet stars, denoted [WR] stars, remains poorly understood. While several binary formation scenarios have been proposed, there are too few [WR] binaries known to determine their feasibility. Out of nearly 50 post-common-envelope (post-CE) binary central stars known, only PN G222.8$-$04.2 ([WC7], $P=1.26$ d) and NGC 5189 ([WO1], $P=4.05$ d) have a [WR] component. The available data suggests that post-CE central stars with [WR] components lack main sequence companions and have a wider orbital separation than typical post-CE binaries. There is also some indirect evidence for wide binaries that could potentially lead to the discovery of more [WR] binaries.

description: We describe a new approach to precision NMR with hyperpolarized gases designed to mitigate NMR frequency shifts due to the alkali spin exchange field. The electronic spin polarization of optically pumped alkali atoms is square-wave modulated at the noble-gas NMR frequency and oriented transverse to the DC Fourier component of the NMR bias field. Noble gas NMR is driven by spin-exchange collisions with the oscillating electron spins. On resonance, the time-average torque from the oscillating spin-exchange field produced by the alkali spins is zero. Implementing the NMR bias field as a sequence of alkali 2$ π$-pulses enables synchronization of the alkali and noble gas spins despite a 1000-fold discrepancy in gyromagnetic ratio. We demonstrate this method with Rb and Xe, and observe novel NMR broadening effects due to the transverse oscillating spin exchange field. When uncompensated, the spin-exchange field at high density broadens the NMR linewidth by an order of magnitude, with an even more dramatic suppression (up to 70x) of the phase shift between the precessing alkali and Xe polarizations. When we introduce a transverse compensation field, we are able to eliminate the spin-exchange broadening and restore the usual NMR phase sensitivity. The projected quantum-limited sensitivity is better than 1 nHz/$\sqrt{\rm Hz}$.

description: Education is considered as potential element for development of society. It is perhaps fourth need of human being. But it is observed that the present education system is examination based, job oriented and market regulated. It deals with external life only. There is no relation with inner being. It does not satisfy the true needs of the individual. It creates more gaps in individual and society also. In consequence, day to day human being is becoming more unstable. Anxiety, tension, worry, conflict, sufferings, unfairness and hindrances are felt acutely. There is more compartmentalization of subjects but no synchronization. How to cope with these challenges? This is a great question. Hence, conscious citizens turn their faces towards ‘ethical’ and ‘holistic’ approach of learning and management. These terms are based on spirituality. Spiritual management needs spiritual leaders. A Spiritual educational leader can create an environment by his actions and behaviors to inspire his colleagues, students and parents (stake holders). He must have faith, dedication, introspection, and aspiration for a harmonious life and living. He should have a good character, integrity and intellectual honesty, selfless and objectivity. First he must form a positive attitude to develop his consciousness. He must aspire to invoke Divine grace towards progress & welfare of his institution or profession. The secret of effective functioning of schools depends on leadership of school heads to identify best in others and enabling them to constitute to carryout tasks facilitating achievement of goals. Leadership is good, Transformational leadership is very good and Spiritual leadership is excellent. It gives excellent result. From ancient time to modern time it has been observed that, Spiritual leadership provides wellbeing of individuals, societies and nations of the world. It is certain that spiritual leadership improves any organization. It is experimental fact. All educational institutions can avail this opportunity for their wholesome development.

description: Motivated by recent experimental progress in high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques, we propose to investigate the local quasiparticle density of states around a unitary impurity in the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_{5}$. Based on the T-matrix approach we obtain a sharp nearly zero-energy resonance state (ZERS) in the strong impurity potential scattering localized around the impurity, and find qualitative differences in the spatial pattern of the tunneling conductance modulated by the nodal structure of the superconducting gap. These unique features may be used as a probe of the superconducting gap symmetry and in combination with the further STM measurements, may help to confirm the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ pairing in CeCoIn$_{5}$ at ambient pressure.

description: Advances in biomedical research allow for the capture of an unprecedented level of genetic, molecular, and clinical information from large patient cohorts, where the quest for precision medicine can be pursued. An overarching goal of precision medicine is to integrate the large–scale genetic and molecular data with deep phenotypic information to identify a new mechanistic disease classification. This classification can ideally be used to meet the clinical goal of the right medication for the right patient at the right time. Glomerular disease presents a formidable challenge for precision medicine. Patients present with similar signs and symptoms, which cross the current disease categories. The diseases are grouped by shared histopathologic features, but individual patients have dramatic variability in presentation, progression, and response to therapy, reflecting the underlying biologic heterogeneity within each glomerular disease category. Despite the clinical challenge, glomerular disease has several unique advantages to building multilayered datasets connecting genetic, molecular, and structural information needed to address the goals of precision medicine in this population. Kidney biopsy tissue, obtained during routine clinical care, provides a direct window into the molecular mechanisms active in the affected organ. In addition, urine is a biofluid ideally suited for repeated measurement from the diseased organ as a liquid biopsy with potential to reflect the dynamic state of renal tissue. In our review, current approaches for large–scale data generation and integration along the genotype-phenotype continuum in glomerular disease will be summarized. Several successful examples of this integrative biology approach within glomerular disease will be highlighted along with an outlook on how achieving a mechanistic disease classification could help to shape glomerular disease research and care in the future.

description: The Rashba effect is one of the most striking manifestations of spin-orbit coupling in solids, and provides a cornerstone for the burgeoning field of semiconductor spintronics. It is typically assumed to manifest as a momentum-dependent splitting of a single initially spin-degenerate band into two branches with opposite spin polarisation. Here, combining polarisation-dependent and resonant angle-resolved photoemission measurements with density-functional theory calculations, we show that the two "spin-split" branches of the model giant Rashba system BiTeI additionally develop disparate orbital textures, each of which is coupled to a distinct spin configuration. This necessitates a re-interpretation of spin splitting in Rashba-like systems, and opens new possibilities for controlling spin polarisation through the orbital sector.
