description: Chlorine and chloramine are widely used to maintain the microbial safety after drinking water treatment plants. Particles existing in the treated water may react with these chemical disinfectants, and impact the efficacy of disinfection. However, the protective effects of particles without-disinfectant demand on bacteria in the chlorination/chloramination are not well known. In this study, two laboratory-derived bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and two no-disinfectant demand particles (Fe2O3 and kaolin) in drinking water were selected to build particle-associated bacteria (PAB) systems, and their resistance to chlorine/chloramine were further assessed. Flow cytometry (FCM) was employed to image PAB systems and assess the removal rate of bacteria. The results were that particles showed protective effects on bacteria in half of chlorine experiments and 90% of chloramination. The protection was related to the combination form of particles and bacteria tied to neither particle species nor size, and there was no positive relationship between the protection effect and water turbidity. S. aureus attached to Fe2O3 had stronger resistance than kaolin, and kaolin protected E. coli better than Fe2O3. The same trend was observed in both chemical disinfectants, and more significant resistance had been shown in chloramination than chlorination. FCM images which gave a qualitative description on combination states of different PAB systems may be a clue to explain the strength of the resistance. Environmental bacterial strains and particles are recommended in the future to explore practical applications.

description: We study the basins of attraction of metastable states in the spherical $p$-spin spin glass model, starting the relaxation dynamics at a given distance from a thermalized condition. Weighting the initial condition with the Boltzmann distribution we find a finite size for the basins. On the contrary, a white weighting of the initial condition implies vanishing basins of attraction. We make the corresponding of our results with the ones of a recently constructed effective potential.

Diversity of Galaxy Dust Attenuation Curves Drives the Scatter in the IRX-beta Relation

description: We study the drivers of the scatter in the IRX-beta relation using 23,000 low-redshift galaxies from the GALEX-SDSS-WISE Legacy Catalog 2 (GSWLC-2). For each galaxy we derive, using CIGALE and the SED+LIR fitting technique, the slope of the dust attenuation curve and the strength of the UV bump, plus many other galaxy parameters. We find that the IRX-beta scatter is driven entirely by a wide range of attenuation curves - primarily their slopes. Once the slope and the UV bump are fixed, the scatter in the IRX-beta vanishes. The question of the IRX-beta scatter is the direct manifestation of a more fundamental question of the diversity of dust attenuation curves. The predominant role of the attenuation curve is the consequence of a narrow range of intrinsic UV slopes of star-forming galaxies. Galaxies with different specific SFRs or population ages do not show strong trends in the IRX-beta diagram because their attenuation curves are, on average, similar. Similarly, there is no shift in the IRX-beta locus between starbursts and normal star-forming galaxies, both types having, on average, steep attenuation curves. Optical opacity is identified as the strongest determinant of the attenuation curve slope, and consequently the IRX-beta diversity. Despite the scatter, the use of an average IRX-beta relation is justified to correct SFRs, adding a random error of

description: Recently the series for two RG functions (corresponding to the anomalous dimensions of the fields phi and phi^2) of the 3D phi^4 field theory have been extended to next order (seven loops) by Murray and Nickel. We examine here the influence of these additional terms on the estimates of critical exponents of the N-vector model, using some new ideas in the context of the Borel summation techniques. The estimates have slightly changed, but remain within errors of the previous evaluation. Exponents like eta (related to the field anomalous dimension), which were poorly determined in the previous evaluation of Le Guillou--Zinn-Justin, have seen their apparent errors significantly decrease. More importantly, perhaps, summation errors are better determined. The change in exponents affects the recently determined ratios of amplitudes and we report the corresponding new values. Finally, because an error has been discovered in the last order of the published epsilon=4-d expansions (order epsilon^5), we have also reanalyzed the determination of exponents from the epsilon-expansion. The conclusion is that the general agreement between epsilon-expansion and 3D series has improved with respect to Le Guillou--Zinn-Justin.

description: The extrapolation of the decay amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons into two photons from the soft meson limit where it is obtained from the axial-anomaly to the mass shell involves the contribution of the 0^ - continuum. These chiral symmetry breaking corrections turn out to be large. The effects of these corrections on the calculated pi ^0 decay rate, on the values of the singlet-octet mixing angle and on the ratios f_8 / f_pi and f_0 / f_pi are discussed. The implications for the transition form factors gamma gamma* --> pseudoscalars are also evaluated and confronted with the available experimental data.

Dans leur appel à contributions, Anne-Françoise Lefevre, Danielle Mizrahi et Françoise Temmerman abordaient la question de violences physiques envers des personnes qui avaient demandé à d’autres de porter un masque. Elles écrivaient : « Dans ce contexte où liberté individuelle et sécurité de tous s’entrechoquent, une question importante se pose : jusqu’où est-il possible de trouver un équilibre entre le respect des droits de chacun et la protection de tous ? ». Nous avons proposé le texte suivant, qui a été refusé par le comité éditorial, ce dernier considérant que notre article « ne manifestait pas assez d'OKness pour figurer dans les pages des AAT ». Nous avons donc choisi d’auto-publier cet article afin de nourrir un dialogue sur le sujet, et d’inviter à une réflexion sur ce que signifie l’Okness, et comment cela peut s’appliquer à différents niveaux.

PURPOSE: Examine the association between neighborhood segregation and 6-year incident metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. METHODS: Prospective cohort of adults residing in Miami, Chicago, the Bronx, and San Diego. The analytic sample included 6,710 participants who did not have MetSyn at baseline. The evenness and exposure dimensions of neighborhood segregation, based on the Gini and Isolation indices, respectively, were categorized into quintiles (Q). Racialized economic concentration was measured with the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (continuously and Q). RESULTS: Exposure, but not evenness, was associated with higher disease odds (Q1 (lower segregation) vs. Q4, OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.082.17; Q5, OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.493.52).

CONCLUSION: Hispanics/Latino adults residing in neighborhoods with high segregation had higher risk of incident MetSyn compared to those residing in neighborhoods with low segregation. Research is needed to identify the mechanisms that link segregation to poor metabolic health.
The Faintest Dwarf Galaxies

description: The lowest luminosity (L < 10^5 L_sun) Milky Way satellite galaxies represent the extreme lower limit of the galaxy luminosity function. These ultra-faint dwarfs are the oldest, most dark matter-dominated, most metal-poor, and least chemically evolved stellar systems known. They therefore provide unique windows into the formation of the first galaxies and the behavior of dark matter on small scales. In this review, we summarize the discovery of ultra-faint dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in 2005, and the subsequent observational and theoretical progress in understanding their nature and origin. We describe their stellar kinematics, chemical abundance patterns, structural properties, stellar populations, orbits, and luminosity function, and what can be learned from each type of measurement. We conclude that: (1) in most cases, the stellar velocity dispersions of ultra-faint dwarfs are robust against systematic uncertainties such as binary stars and foreground contamination; (2) the chemical abundance patterns of stars in ultra-faint dwarfs require two sources of r-process elements, one of which can likely be attributed to neutron star mergers; (3) even under conservative assumptions, only a small fraction of ultra-faint dwarfs may have suffered significant tidal stripping of their stellar components; (4) determining the properties of the faintest dwarfs out to the virial radius of the Milky Way will require very large investments of observing time with future telescopes. Finally, we offer a look forward at the observations that will be possible with future facilities as the push toward a complete census of the Local Group dwarf galaxy population continues.

description: We propose a scenario for inflation based upon the braneworld picture, in which high-energy corrections to the Friedmann equation permit inflation to take place with potentials ordinarily too steep to sustain it. Inflation ends when the braneworld corrections begin to lose their dominance. Reheating may naturally be brought about via gravitational particle production, rather than the usual inflaton decay mechanism; the reheat temperature may be low enough to satisfy the gravitino bound and the Universe becomes radiation dominated early enough for nucleosynthesis. We illustrate the idea by considering steep exponential potentials, and show they can give satisfactory density perturbations (both amplitude and slope) and reheat successfully. The scalar field may survive to the present epoch without violating observational bounds, and could be invoked in the quintessential inflation scenario of Peebles and Vilenkin.

The correspondence between unitary irreducible representations of the de Sitter group and the field theory on de Sitter space-time is essential in our approach. We introduce the Wightman-Gärding axiomatic for vector field on dS space. The Hilbert space structure and the unsmeared field operators $K_α(x)$ are also defined. This work is in the direct continuation of previous one concerning the scalar and the spinor cases.

description: The crossing properties of the matrix elements of non-local operators, parameterized by Generalized Parton Distribution, are considered. They are especially simple in terms of the Double Distributions which are common for the various kinematical regions. As a result, Double Distributions may be in principle extracted from the combined data in these regions by making use of the inverse Radon transform, known as a standard method in tomography. The ambiguities analogous to the ones for the vetor potential in the two-dimensional magneto-statics are outlined. The possible generalizations are discussed.

description: Introduction: Clinician-educators are responsible for providing education to trainees in medical centers. There is no clear overview of what opportunities exist for training clinician-educators in medical education related skills and techniques. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of multiple websites and a medical educator listserve to identify medical education training opportunities for clinician-educators. We included certificate level programs or programs with comparable recognition and excluded masters programs, programs specific to one medical specialty or institution, and brief modules/sessions. We categorized results by training/focus area(s) and program details relevant for faculty. Results: We identified 53 programs. Most focus on general medical education skills (N = 19, 36%), leadership (N = 18, 34%), or learner assessment (N = 16, 30%). Fourteen programs (26%) were exclusively online, 27 (56%) exclusively in-person, and 12 (23%) require in-person and distance components. Time requirements for completion vary greatly, ranging from 1 day to 3 years, as did program costs, ranging from $327 to $15,000. Conclusions: Although training programs in medical education for clinical faculty exist, most focus on general medical education, leadership, and assessment. More programs focused on other topics, such as simulation or educational research, may be needed. Future investigations to understand the needs of this population would be valuable.

description: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine with important functions in cell proliferation and differentiation. TGF-β is highly expressed in several types of cancers and promotes tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the role of TGF-β in osteosarcoma progression is poorly understood. In the present study, we found that TGF-β is highly expressed in osteosarcoma cells and tissues, and is associated with high Ennecking stage (P = 0.033), metastasis, and recurrence. TGF-β-knockdown osteosarcoma cell lines were established using siRNA (si-TGF-β). Cells transfected with si-TGF-β exhibited significantly reduced proliferation, migration/invasion, and colony formation abilities, and increased levels of cell apoptosis. In addition, si-TGF-β treatment reduced spheroid size, the ratio of CD133-positive cells, and expression of SOX-2, Nanog, and Oct-3/4 in osteosarcoma cells. Mechanistically, PI3K/mTOR phosphorylation is inhibited by TGF-β knockdown. Pretreatment with 25 µM LY294002, a PI3K-specific inhibitor, further enhanced the si-TGF-β-induced suppression of osteosarcoma progression. Taken together, these results reveal a novel role for TGF-β in osteosarcoma progression and modulation of stemness-related traits and indicate that TGF-β may be of value as a therapeutic target for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

description: Calmodulin-like interacting protein kinases play an important role in plant response to abiotic stresses and development. But the role of the CIPK gene in grapevine is unknown. In this study, VyCIPK1, isolated from the Chinese wild grape V. Yanshanesis, was strongly induced by salt stress. Overexpressing VyCIPK1 could induce AOC and AOS, and result in notably increased jamonate levels in tobacco. Under salt stress, transgenic plants showed higher germination rate, leaf number, and fresh weight than wild-type plants. Moreover, transgenic plants displayed higher chlorophyll content, catalase activity, peroxidase activity, superoxide dismutase activity, and lower malondialdehyde content, H2O2, and O2- content than that of wild type under salt stress conditions. And the stress-related genes, including ERD10C, ERD10D, LEA5, POD, SOD, and CAT, were up-regulated in transgenic plants. Our founding demonstrated that the VyCIPK1 has the potential for grape molecular breeding of salt tolerance as a candidate gene.

description: The suppression of order parameter fluctuations at the boundaries causes the ultrasonic attenuation near the superfluid transition to be lowered below the bulk value. We calculate explicitly the first deviation from the bulk value for temperatures above the lambda point. This deviation is significantly larger than for static quantities like the thermodynamic specific heat or other transport properties like the thermal conductivity. This makes ultrasonics a very effective probe for finite size effects.

Creators: name: No Name Supplied

Year: 1959

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: Recent studies have revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in the tumorigenesis and proliferation of human cancer. Several polymorphisms of lncRNAs have been found to be involved in the risk of neuroblastoma (NB). However, studies on the relationship between polymorphisms in lncRNA exons and NB are infrequent. We evaluated the association between rs11752942 A > G polymorphism in lnc-RNA-uc003opf.1 exon and neuroblastoma susceptibility by performing a hospital-based study with 275 patients and 531 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) assessed by using logistic regression models were used to determine the strength of the association. We found that the rs11752942 G allele is significantly associated with decreased neuroblastoma risk (AG vs. AA: adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.53–0.98, P = 0.038; and AG/GG vs. AA: adjusted OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.55–0.99, P = 0.045) after adjusting for age and gender. This association was more prominent in females, subjects with tumor in the mediastinum or early-stage. Furthermore, the expression quantitative trait locus analysis indicated that rs11752942 G was associated with decreased expression of its neighboring gene LRFN2 mRNA. These results indicate that lncRNA-uc003opf.1 may be a novel potentially functional lncRNA that may be used as a predictive marker, for it might contribute to decreased neuroblastoma risk.

description: We show that the gradient of the $m$-power of a solution to a singular parabolic equation of porous medium-type (also known as fast diffusion equation), satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality in suitable intrinsic cylinders. Relying on an intrinsic Calderón-Zygmund covering argument, we are able to prove the local higher integrability of such a gradient for $m\in\left(\frac{(n-2)_+}{n+2},1\right)$. Our estimates are satisfied for a general class of growth assumptions on the non linearity. In this way, we extend the theory for $m\geq 1$ (see [GS16] in the list of references) to the singular case. In particular, an intrinsic metric that depends on the solution itself is introduced for the singular regime.

Nearly Bi-Maximal Neutrino Mixing, Muon g-2 Anomaly and Lepton-Flavor-Violating Processes

description: We interpret the newly observed muon g-2 anomaly in the framework of a leptonic Higgs doublet model with nearly degenerate neutrino masses and nearly bi-maximal neutrino mixing. Useful constraints are obtained on the rates of lepton-flavor-violating rare decays $τ\to μγ$, $μ\to e γ$ and $τ\to e γ$ as well as the $μ$-$e$ conversion ratio $R_{μe}$. We find that $Γ(μ\to e γ)$, $Γ(τ\to e γ)$ and $R_{μe}$ depend crucially on possible non-zero but samll values of the neutrino mixing matrix element $V_{e3}$, and they are also sensitive to the Dirac-type CP-violating phase. In particular, we show that $Γ(τ\to μγ)/m^5_τ$, $Γ(μ\to e γ)/m^5_μ$ and $Γ(τ\to e γ)/m^5_τ$ are approximately in the ratio $1: 2|V_{e3}|^2: 2|V_{e3}|^2$ if $|V_{e3}|$ is much larger than ${\cal O}(10^{-2})$, and in the ratio $2 (Δm^2_{\rm atm})^2: (Δm^2_{\rm sun})^2:(Δm^2_{\rm sun})^2$ if $|V_{e3}|$ is much lower than ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$, where $Δm^2_{\rm atm}$ and $Δm^2_{\rm sun}$ are the corresponding mass-squared differences of atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations.

description: We study the Hubbard model on a hypercubic lattice with regard to the possibility of itinerant ferromagnetism. The Dynamical Mean Field theory is used to map the lattice model on an effective local problem, which is treated with help of the Non Crossing Approximation. By investigating spin dependent one-particle Green's functions and the magnetic susceptibility, a region with nonvanishing ferromagnetic polarization is found in the limit $U\to\infty$. The $δ$-T-phase diagram as well as thermodynamic quantities are discussed. The dependence of the Curie temperature on the Coulomb interaction and the competition between ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism are studied in the large $U$ limit of the Hubbard model.

description: We exploit EAGLE, a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, to reproduce the selection of the observed sub-millimeter (submm) galaxy population by selecting the model galaxies at $z \geq 1$ with mock submm fluxes $S_{850} \geq 1$ mJy. There is a reasonable agreement between the galaxies within this sample and the properties of the observed submm population, such as their star formation rates (SFRs) at $z<3$, redshift distribution and many integrated galaxy properties. We find that the bulk of the $S_{850} \geq 1$ mJy model population is at $z = 2.5$, and that they are massive galaxies ($M_* \sim 10^{11}$ Msol) with high dust masses ($M_{\mathrm{dust}} \sim 10^{8}$ Msol), gas fractions ($f_{\mathrm{gas}} \approx 50$%) and SFRs ($\dot M_* \approx 100$ Msol/yr). They have major and minor merger fractions similar to the general population, suggesting that mergers are not the primary driver of the model submm galaxies. Instead, the $S_{850} \geq 1$ mJy model galaxies yield high SFRs primarily because they maintain a significant gas reservoir as a result of hosting an undermassive black hole. In addition, we find that not all highly star-forming EAGLE galaxies have submm fluxes $S_{850} > 1$ mJy. Thus, we investigate the nature of $z \geq 1$ highly star-forming Submm-Faint galaxies (i.e., $\dot M_* \geq 80$ Msol/yr but $S_{850}< 1$ mJy). We find they are similar to the model submm galaxies; being gas rich and hosting undermassive black holes, however they are typically lower mass ($M_* \sim 10^{10}$ Msol) and are at higher redshifts ($z>4$). These typically higher-$z$ galaxies show stronger evidence for having been triggered by major mergers, and critically, they are likely missed by current submm surveys due to their higher dust temperatures. This suggests a potentially even larger contribution to the SFR density at $z > 3$ from dust-obscured systems than implied by current observations.

description: Spherical dust collapse generally forms a shell focusing naked singularity at the symmetric center. This naked singularity is massless. Further the Newtonian gravitational potential and speed of the dust fluid elements are everywhere much smaller than unity until the central shell focusing naked singularity formation if an appropriate initial condition is set up. Although such a situation is highly relativistic, the analysis by the Newtonian approximation scheme is available even in the vicinity of the space-time singularity. This remarkable feature makes the analysis of such singularity formation very easy. We investigate non-spherical even-parity matter perturbations in this scheme by complementary using numerical and semi-analytical approaches, and estimate linear gravitational waves generated in the neighborhood of the naked singularity by the quadrupole formula. The result shows good agreement with the relativistic perturbation analysis recently performed by Iguchi et al. The energy flux of the gravitational waves is finite but the space-time curvature carried by them diverges.

description: We present an archival Chandra study of the O-rich supernova remnant (SNR) 1E 0102.2-7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Based on the deep $\sim$ 265 ks archival Chandra data we performed a detailed spatially resolved spectral analysis of 1E 0102.2-7219. Our aim is to reveal the spatial and chemical structures of this remnant in unprecedented details. Radial profiles of O, Ne and Mg abundances based on our analysis of regional spectra extracted along nine different azimuthal directions of 1E 0102.2-7219 suggest the contact discontinuity at $\sim$ 5-5.5 pc from the geometric center of the X-ray emission of the SNR. We find that the metal-rich ejecta gas extends further outward in west and southwest than in other directions of the SNR. The average O/Ne, O/Mg and Ne/Mg abundance ratios of the ejecta are in plausible agreement with the nucleosynthesis products from the explosion of a $\sim 40 M_\odot$ progenitor. We estimate an upper limit on the Sedov age of $\sim 3500$ yr and explosion energy of $\sim 1.8\times10^{51}$ erg for 1E 0102.2-7219. We discuss the implications of our results on the geometrical structure of the remnant, its circumstellar medium and the nature of the progenitor star. Our results do not fit with a simple picture of the reverse-shocked emission from a spherical shell-like ejecta gas with a uniformly-distributed metal abundance and a power-law density along the radius of the SNR.

The spinor field in Rindler spacetime: an analysis of the Unruh effect

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We analyse the quantization procedure of the spinor field in the Rindler spacetime, showing the boundary conditions that should be imposed to the field, in order to have a well posed theory. We then investigate the relationship between this construction and the usual one in Minkowski spacetime. This leads to the concept of "Unruh effect", that is the thermal nature of the Minkowski vacuum state from the point of view of an accelerated observer. It is demostrated that the two constructions are qualitatively different and can not be compared and consequently the conventional interpretation of the Unruh effect is questionable.

description: Myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1) is exerted an anti-arrhythmic effect in obese mice. Therefore, we sought to clarify whether MD1 can alter the electrophysiological remodeling of cardiac myocytes from obese mice by regulating voltage-gated potassium current and calcium current. MD1 knock-out (KO) and wild type (WT) mice were given a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks, starting at the age of 6 weeks. The potential electrophysiological mechanisms were estimated by whole-cell patch-clamp and molecular analysis. After 20-week HFD feeding, action potential duration (APD) from left ventricular myocytes of MD1-KO mice revealed APD20, APD50, and APD90 were profoundly enlarged. Furthermore, HFD mice showed a decrease in the fast transient outward potassium currents (Ito,f), slowly inactivating potassium current (IK, slow), and inward rectifier potassium current (IK1). Besides, HFD-fed mice showed that the current density of ICaL was significantly lower, and the haft inactivation voltage was markedly shifted right. These HFD induced above adverse effects were further exacerbated in KO mice. The mRNA expression of potassium ion channels (Kv4.2, Kv4.3, Kv2.1, Kv1.5, and Kir2.1) and calcium ion channel (Cav1.2) was markedly decreased in MD1-KO HFD-fed mice. MD1 deletion led to down-regulated potassium currents and slowed inactivation of L-type calcium channel in an obese mice model.

description: Passive sentences are considered more difficult to comprehend than active sentences. Previous online-only studies cast doubt on this generalisation. The current paper directly compares online and offline processing of passivization and manipulates verb type: state vs. event. Stative passives are temporarily ambiguous (adjectival vs. verbal), eventive passives are not (always verbal). Across 4 experiments (self-paced reading with comprehension questions), passives were consistently read faster than actives. This contradicts the claim that passives are difficult to parse and/or interpret, as argued by main perspectives of passive processing (heuristic, syntactic, frequentist). The reading time facilitation is compatible with broader expectation/surprisal theories. When comprehension targeted theta-role assignment, passives were more errorful, regardless of verb type. Verbal WM measures correlated with the difference in accuracy, but not online measures. The accuracy effect is argued to reflect a post-interpretive difficulty associated with maintaining/manipulating the passive representation as required by specific tasks.

description: Gallagher's theorem is a sharpening and extension of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all tuples of real numbers. We provide a fibre refinement, solving a problem posed by Beresnevich, Haynes and Velani in 2015. Hitherto, this was only known on the plane, as previous approaches relied heavily on the theory of continued fractions. Using reduced successive minima in lieu of continued fractions, we develop the structural theory of Bohr sets of arbitrary rank, in the context of diophantine approximation. In addition, we generalise the theory and result to the inhomogeneous setting. To deal with this inhomogeneity, we employ diophantine transference inequalities in lieu of the three distance theorem.

description: The mesonic quantum fluctuations and their corrections on the chiral condensate and pion polarization function are investigated in the self-consistent scheme of SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model by exactly calculating the next-to-leading order (NLO) Feynman diagrams in $1/N_c$ expansion. While the fluctuations and corrections depend strongly on the meson's three-momentum cut-off $Λ_M$, no chiral symmetry restoration is found since the cancellation between the NLO and the one-quark-loop diagram with quark mass deviated from the mean-field value.
