description: Lymphangiomas are mature, benign tumors originating from the lymphatic vessels. Lymphangiomas can be external (cervical, cervical-axillary-thoracic) and internal (mediastinal, internal organs, retroperitoneal, pelvic). The most common are cervical lymphangiomas from 74% to 82%. Due to the genetic relationship of lymphangiomas to blood vessels, in particular, to the venous system, their radical removal is difficult, where they are located close to the main vessels of the neck, axillary region, mediastinum and other localizations. There is no consensus on the question of the stage-by-stage excision of lymphangiomas. If no one has any doubts about the rationality of a single-stage surgical intervention. There are practically no works that raise the question of the cosmetological side of surgical interventions undertaken for the removal of lymphangiomas. Radical treatment of lymphangioma by surgical removal is possible only in 75% of cases.

description: The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory is in the R&D phase, in which the Water Cherenkov Detector Array is an important part. The signals of Photo-Multiplier Tubes would vary from single photo electron to 4000 photo electrons, and both high precision charge and time measurement is required. To simplify the signal processing chain, the charge-to-time conversion method is employed. A prototype of the front-end readout ASIC is designed and fabricated in Chartered 0.35 μm CMOS technology, which integrates time disctrimination and converts the input charge information to pulse widths. With Time-to-Digital Converters, both time and charge can be digitized at the same time. We have conducted initial tests on this chip, and the results indicate that a time resolution better than 0.5 ns is achieved over the full dynamic range (1~ 4000 photo electrons, corresponding to 0.75 ~ 3000 pC with the threshold of 0.188 pC); the charge resolution is better than 1% with large input amplitudes (500 ~ 4000 photo electrons), and remains better than 15% with a 1 photo electron input amplitude, which is beyond the application requirement.
The generally covariant locality principle -- A new paradigm for local quantum physics

description: A new approach to the model-independent description of quantum field theories will be introduced in the present work. The main feature of this new approach is to incorporate in a local sense the principle of general covariance of general relativity, thus giving rise to the concept of a "locally covariant quantum field theory". Such locally covariant quantum field theories will be described mathematically in terms of covariant functors between the categories, on one side, of globally hyperbolic spacetimes with isometric embeddings as morphisms and, on the other side, of *-algebras with unital injective *-endomorphisms as morphisms. Moreover, locally covariant quantum fields can be described in this framework as natural transformations between certain functors. The usual Haag-Kastler framework of nets of operator-algebras over a fixed spacetime background-manifold, together with covariant automorphic actions of the isometry-group of the background spacetime, can be re-gained from this new approach as a special case. Examples of this new approach are also outlined. In case that a locally covariant quantum field theory obeys the time-slice axiom, one can naturally associate to it certain automorphic actions, called ``relative Cauchy-evolutions'', which describe the dynamical reaction of the quantum field theory to a local change of spacetime background metrics. The functional derivative of a relative Cauchy-evolution with respect to the spacetime metric is found to be a divergence-free quantity which has, as will be demonstrated in an example, the significance of an energy-momentum tensor for the locally covariant quantum field theory. Furthermore, we discuss the functorial properties of state spaces of locally covariant quantum field theories that entail the validity of the principle of local definiteness.

description: The properties of the polaron and bipolaron are explored in the 1D Jahn-Teller model with dynamical quantum phonons. The ground-state properties of the polaron and bipolaron are computed using a recently developed variational method. Dynamical properties of the ground state of a polaron are investigated by calculating the optical conductivity $σ(ω)$. Our numerical results suggest that the Jahn-Teller and Holstein polarons are similar. However, in the strong-coupling regime qualitative differences in $σ(ω)$ between the two models are found and discussed. The influence of the electron-phonon coupling and the electrostatic repulsion on the bipolaron binding energy, bipolaron masses, and correlation functions is investigated.

description: The perihelion advance of the orbit of Mercury has long been one of the observational cornerstones for testing General Relativity (G.R.). The main goal of this paper is to discuss how, presently, observational and theoretical constraints may challenge Einstein's theory of gravitation characterized by beta=gamma=1. To achieve this purpose, we will first recall the experimental constraints upon the Eddington-Robertson parameters gamma, beta and the observational bounds for the perihelion advance of Mercury. A second point will address the values given, up to now, to the solar quadrupole moment by several authors. Then, we will briefly comment why we use a recent theoretical determination of the solar quadrupole moment, J2=(2.0 +/- 0.4) 10^{-7}, which takes into account both surfacic and internal differential rotation, in order to compute the solar contribution to Mercury's perihelion advance. Further on, combining bounds on gamma and J2 contributions, and taking into account the observational data range for the perihelion shift, we will be able to give a range of values for beta. Alternatively, taking into account the observed value of perihelion shift, one can deduce a dynamical estimation of J2 in the setting of G.R. This point is important as it provides a solar model independent estimation that can be confronted with other determinations of J2 based upon solar theory and solar observations (oscillation data, oblateness...). Finally, a glimpse at future satellite experiments will help us to understand how stronger constraints upon the parameter space (gamma, beta, J2) as well as a separation of the two contributions (J2, or purely relativistic) might be expected in the future.

Mallinella bigemina

description: Mallinella bigemina sp. nov.
(Figs 1109, 1165–1167)
 Material examined. Holotype: ♀,  MALAYSIA, Borneo, Sabah State:  Mt. Kinabalu NP, Lumu–Lumu, 6,300 ft, 25 July 1951, leg. R. Traub (AMNH).
 Diagnosis. Mallinella bigemina sp. nov. appears to be closely related to M. fronto in having the narrowed epigyne and the distinctly elevated posterior median margin protruding over an epigastric furrow (less so in M. fronto) (Figs 1109 cf. 1142–1145). The spermathecae of both species are difficult to discriminate from the elongated insemination ducts. However, M. bigemina sp. nov. can be distinguished by the peculiar dorsal modification on the spermathecae (Fig. 1166).
 Etymology. The specific epithet, bigeminus, an adjective, is derived from the Latin (bis = twice and gemino = to double), referring to the pattern on the dorsum of the opisthosoma with the enlarged second pair being distinctly larger than the first.
 Description. Female  (holotype). Total length 7.20; prosoma 3.76 long, 3.04 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.28, ALE 0.22, PME 0.22, PLE 0.22, AME–AME 0.28, AME–ALE 0.54, PME–PME 0.20, PME–PLE 0.58; MOQ: 0.64 long, 0.64 anterior width, 0.60 posterior width. Leg measurements: I 13.86 (3.32, 4.34, 3.48, 2.70), II 11.48 (2.90, 3.60, 2.88, 2.08), III 11.56 (3.02, 3.48, 3.10, 1.92), IV 15.96 (3.86, 4.70, 4.98, 2.48).
 Coloration. Carapace orange-brown, anterolateral margin dark brown. Sternum brown. Legs yellowish. Dorsum of opisthosoma dark sepia. Dorsal pattern: anteriorly with two pairs of round spots, first one distinctly smaller, obliquely arranged, second pair in transverse position; third to fifth pairs represented by a series of broad transverse median bands.
 Genitalia (Figs 1109, 1165–1167). Epigyne with enlarged posterior median hump protruding over epigastric furrow. Spermathecae fused with insemination ducts, provided with distinctive dorsal modification, distal part of spermathecae subspherical in anterior view.
 Male. Unknown.
 Distribution. Known only from the type locality in the Mt. Kinabalu NP, Borneo.

description: We have surveyed Andromeda VI, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy companion to M31, for variable stars using F450W and F555W observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. A total of 118 variables were found, with 111 being RR Lyrae, 6 anomalous Cepheids, and 1 variable we were unable to classify. We find that the Andromeda VI anomalous Cepheids have properties consistent with those of anomalous Cepheids in other dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We revise the existing period-luminosity relations for these variables. Further, using these and other available data, we show that there is no clear difference between fundamental and first-overtone anomalous Cepheids in a period-amplitude diagram at shorter periods, unlike the RR Lyrae. For the Andromeda VI RR Lyrae, we find that they lie close to the Oosterhoff type I Galactic globular clusters in the period-amplitude diagram, although the mean period of the RRab stars, = 0.588 d, is slightly longer than the typical Oosterhoff type I cluster. The mean V magnitude of the RR Lyrae in Andromeda VI is 25.29+/-0.03, resulting in a distance 815+/-25 kpc on the Lee, Demarque, & Zinn distance scale. This is consistent with the distance derived from the I magnitude of the tip of the red giant branch. Similarly, the properties of the RR Lyrae indicate a mean abundance for Andromeda VI which is consistent with that derived from the mean red giant branch color.

Stellar Mixing and the Primordial Lithium Abundance

description: We compare the properties of recent samples of the lithium abundances in halo stars to one another and to the predictions of theoretical models including rotational mixing, and we examine the data for trends with metal abundance. We find from a KS test that in the absence of any correction for chemical evolution, the Ryan, Norris, & Beers (1999} sample is fully consistent with mild rotational mixing induced depletion and, therefore, with an initial lithium abundance higher than the observed value. Tests for outliers depend sensitively on the threshold for defining their presence, but we find a 10$--$45% probability that the RNB sample is drawn from the rotationally mixed models with a 0.2 dex median depletion (with lower probabilities corresponding to higher depletion factors). When chemical evolution trends (Li/H versus Fe/H) are treated in the linear plane we find that the dispersion in the RNB sample is not explained by chemical evolution; the inferred bounds on lithium depletion from rotational mixing are similar to those derived from models without chemical evolution. We find that differences in the equivalent width measurements are primarily responsible for different observational conclusions concerning the lithium dispersion in halo stars. The standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis predicted lithium abundance which corresponds to the deuterium abundance inferred from observations of high-redshift, low-metallicity QSO absorbers requires halo star lithium depletion in an amount consistent with that from our models of rotational mixing, but inconsistent with no depletion.

description: The performance of over 500 North Dakota farms, 2006-2015, is summarized using 16 financial measures. Farms are categorized by geographic region, farm type, farm size, gross cash sales, farm tenure, net farm income, debt-to-asset, and age of farmer to analyze relationships between financial performance and farm characteristics. Five-year averages, 2010-2014, are also presented. In 2015, median and average acreage per farm was 1,847 and 2,371, respectively. Median and average cash farm revenue was $499,756 and $687,287, respectively. Over 70% of farms were crop farms and 50 percent of farms had gross sales exceeding $500,000. Median age of farm operators was 48. Median net farm income in 2015 declined to $18,982, the lowest since 1997, from $54,543 in 2014. The 10 year high was $238,054 in 2012. Financial measures for 2012, 2011, 2010, 2008 and 2007 were much superior to those in other years for the 2006-2015 period. The Red River Valley and crop farms typically had stronger profitability, solvency, and repayment capacity than other regions and farm types, respectively, but not in 2013 and 2014. Median net farm income of livestock farms decreased to $18,999 in 2015 from a ten year high of $95,130 in 2014. Median term debt coverage ratio was 0.69 in 2015 compared to a 2010-2014 average of 2.75. Farms with sales less than $500,000 were nearly twice as likely to have debt-to-asset higher than 70 percent as farms with sales greater than $500,000. Farms that own some crop land, but less than 40 percent of the land they operate were more likely to be crop farms, farm more acreage, have larger sales, and be more profitable. As expected, solvency and percent of crop land owned increased with farmer age. Median net farm income as a percent of gross revenue was the lowest in the decade in 2015, at 5.1%, and the highest in 2012, at 36.8%.

description: Testicular melanization in anurans may be absent or present with different degrees of intensity. When present, the color is due to the concentration of melanocytes in external (surface) and interstitial tissue. The function of this coloration is not fully known and we ask if melanization during testicular development, in species with highly pigmented testes in adults, is correlated with germ cells maturation. To do so, we selected four anuran species with highly pigmented testes. Species differed in the amount of interstitial melanin. Pigmentation increased throughout ontogeny, but with interspecific variation in the onset and rate. The rate of melanization progressed with testicular differentiation. A threshold for interstitial pigmentation seems to be reached with the advancement of spermatogenesis. Overall, testicular pigmentation adds a new chapter to the study of sexual maturity in anurans.

description: This paper assesses the ability of rural electric cooperatives to retire member equity under three strategies: (1) replacing equity with term debt to provide for an immediate one-time retirement of capital credits, (2) reducing the rate at which equity is accumulated and relying more on term debt to finance asset growth so margins can be used to accelerate the retirement of capital credits, and (3) adjusting the electric rate to generate additional mar-gins for retiring capital credits. Analyses suggest that the average distribution cooperative could employ these strategies to expand capital credits retirement substantially without weakening its financial condition.

description: Public sentiment is a direct public-centric indicator for the success of effective action planning. Despite its importance, systematic modeling of public sentiment remains untapped in previous studies. This research aims to develop a Bayesian-based approach for quantitative public sentiment modeling, which is capable of incorporating uncertainty and guiding the selection of public sentiment measures. This study comprises three steps: (1) quantifying prior sentiment information and new sentiment observations with Dirichlet distribution and multinomial distribution respectively; (2) deriving the posterior distribution of sentiment probabilities through incorporating the Dirichlet distribution and multinomial distribution via Bayesian inference; and (3) measuring public sentiment through aggregating sampled sets of sentiment probabilities with an application-based measure. A case study on Hurricane Harvey is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed approach. The developed approach also has the potential to be generalized to model various types of probability-based measures.

description: Here we report the results of thermogravimetric (TG) analysis on the oxygen non-stoichiometry of RuSr2GdCu2O8 (Ru-1212) and RuSr2(Gd0.75Ce0.25)2Cu2O10(Ru-1222) samples. With TG annealings carried out in O2 and Ar atmospheres it was found that the oxygen content in Ru-1212 remains less affected upon various annealings, while for Ru-1222 wider-range oxygen-content tuning is possible. When heated in H2/Ar atmosphere the both phases release oxygen upon breaking down to mixtures of metals (Ru and Cu) and binary oxides (CeO2, Gd2O3, and SrO) in two distinct steps around 300 and 450 oC. This reductive decomposition reaction carried out in a thermobalance was utilized in precise oxygen content determination for these phases. It was found that the 100-atm O2-annealed Ru-1212 sample was nearly stoichiometric, while the similarly treated Ru-1222 sample was clearly oxygen deficient. X-ray absorption near-edge (XANES) spectroscopy was applied to estimate the valence of Ru in the samples. In spite of the fact that the Ru-1212 phase was shown to possess less oxygen-deficient RuO2 layer, the valence of Ru as probed with XANES was found to be lower in Ru-1212 than that in Ru-1222.

description: Inspired by natural cellular materials such as trabecular bone, lattice structures have been developed as a new type of lightweight material. In this paper we present a novel method to design lattice structures that conform with both the principal stress directions and the boundary of the optimized shape. Our method consists of two major steps: the first optimizes concurrently the shape (including its topology) and the distribution of orthotropic lattice materials inside the shape to maximize stiffness under application-specific external loads; the second takes the optimized configuration (i.e. locally-defined orientation, porosity, and anisotropy) of lattice materials from the previous step, and extracts a globally consistent lattice structure by field-aligned parameterization. Our approach is robust and works for both 2D planar and 3D volumetric domains. Numerical results and physical verifications demonstrate remarkable structural properties of conforming lattice structures generated by our method.

description: The study is trying to identify the reasons why people turn to vegetarian diet. In order to research this topic, it is done an international literature review on the topic of vegetarianism, considering both pros and cons attitudes and beliefs. Even there are lot of pro vegetarian diet, however, there are studies showing that strict vegetarianism implies health risks and economical inefficiency. The research indicates that vegetarians have varied motivations including health, ethical, economic, environmental, religious, cultural and social concerns. This conclusion has implication for educating consumers to eat healthier, and for food producers and sellers to adapt their strategies to the new tendencies in food consumption.

Mallinella microtheca

description: Mallinella microtheca sp. nov.
(Figs 1112, 1168–1170)
 Material examined. Holotype: ♀,  MALAYSIA, Pahang State:  Genting (Highland?), 27 November 1990, leg. F. & J. Murphy (FJMC, coll. 18988).
 Diagnosis. The female is somewhat similar to those of M. glomerata sp. nov. and M. stenotheca sp. nov. (Fig. 1114), it can be separated by the shape of the diverging spermathecae (Fig. 1169).
 Etymology. The specific epithet, anoun in apposition, is latinized combination of Greek words (μlĸpOς = small; Ɵηκη= container) and refers to the small spermathecae.
 Description. Female  (holotype). Total length 7.35; prosoma 3.70 long, 3.06 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.28, ALE 0.20, PME 0.20, PLE 0.20, AME–AME 0.22, AME–ALE 0.54, PME–PME 0.20, PME–PLE 0.62; MOQ: 0.60 long, 0.64 anterior width, 0.62 posterior width. Leg measurements: I 14.10 (3.38, 4.42, 3.54, 2.74), II 11.69 (2.94, 3.68, 2.92, 2.14), III 11.76 (3.08, 3.54, 3.16, 1.98), IV 16.24 (3.92, 4.78, 5.06, 2.44).
 Coloration. Carapace and sternum brown. Coxae and trochanters pale yellowish, other leg segments brown. Dorsum of opisthosoma dark sepia. Pattern indistinct (specimen not in a good condition): anteriorly with two pairs of faint, round spots; third pair represented by triangular transverse band; fourth and fifth pairs represented each by short transverse band.
 Genitalia (Figs 1112, 1186–1170). Epigyne with strongly rebordered lateral margins, its, posterior margin protruding over epigastric furrow. Spermathecae diverging, constricted subapically.
 Male. Unknown.
 Distribution. Known only from the type locality.
 Sub-group 3 accommodates species sharing a similar pattern on the dorsum of the opisthosoma as found in sub-group 2 but can be distinguished by the following diagnostic characters: the TA carries a pronounced baso-prolateral tooth, a bifid apico-prolateral process and a well-developed apico-retrolateral ridge; separation between truncated spermathecae and much more slender insemination ducts well marked.
The African–Indian–Northern Thai–Chinese–Vietnamese–Japanese species belong to this group. In the species collected in northern Thailand and China (Figs 1244–1246, 1248–1256) there is a significant modification on the lateral ramus of the embolus, whereas this part is gradually tapering in the Japanese species (Figs 1248–1256).

description: We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on ${\mathbb R}^N $, $N\ge 1$, \begin{equation*} \partial _t u = i Δu + λ| u |^αu \quad \mbox{on ${\mathbb R}^N $, $α>0$,} \end{equation*} with $λ\in {\mathbb C}$ and $\Re λ>0$, for $H^1$-subcritical nonlinearities, i.e. $α>0$ and $(N-2) α< 4$. Given a compact set $K \subset {\mathbb R}^N $, we construct $H^1$ solutions that are defined on $(-T,0)$ for some $T>0$, and blow up on $K $ at $t=0$. The construction is based on an appropriate ansatz. The initial ansatz is simply $U_0(t,x) = ( \Re λ)^{- \frac {1} {α}} (-αt + A(x) )^{ -\frac {1} {α} - i \frac {\Im λ} {α\Re λ} }$, where $A\ge 0$ vanishes exactly on $ K $, which is a solution of the ODE $u'= λ| u |^αu$. We refine this ansatz inductively, using ODE techniques. We complete the proof by energy estimates and a compactness argument. This strategy is reminiscent of~[3, 4].

description: We examine the Legendrian analogue of the topological satellite construction for knots, and deduce some results for specific Legendrian knots and links in standard contact three-space and the solid torus. In particular, we show that the Chekanov-Eliashberg contact homology invariants of Legendrian Whitehead doubles of stabilized knots contain no nonclassical information.

description: Using new XMM and Chandra observations we present an analysis of the temperature structure of the hot gas within a radius of 100 kpc of the bright nearby galaxy group NGC 5044. A spectral deprojection analysis of data extracted from circular annuli reveals that a two-temperature model (2T) of the hot gas is favored over single-phase or cooling flow (M_dot = 4.5 +/- 0.2 M_{sun}/yr) models within the central ~30 kpc. Alternatively, the data can be fit equally well if the temperature within each spherical shell varies continuously from ~T_h to T_c ~ T_h/2, but no lower. The high spatial resolution of the Chandra data allows us to determine that the temperature excursion T_h --> T_c required in each shell exceeds the temperature range between the boundaries of the same shell in the best-fitting single-phase model. This is strong evidence for a multi-phase gas having a limited temperature range. The cooler component of the 2T model has a temperature (T_c \~ 0.7 keV) similar to the kinetic temperature of the stars. The hot phase has a temperature (T_h ~ 1.4 keV) characteristic of the virial temperature of the \~10^{13} M_{sun} halo expected in the NGC 5044 group. However, in view of the morphological disturbances and X-ray holes visible in the Chandra image within R ~10 kpc, bubbles of gas heated to ~T_h in this region may be formed by intermittent AGN feedback. Some additional heating at larger radii may be associated with the evolution of the cold front near R ~50 kpc, as suggested by the sharp edge in the EPIC images.

description: In the readout electronics of the Water Cerenkov Detector Array (WCDA) in the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), both high-resolution charge and time measurement are required over a dynamic range from 1 photoelectron (P.E.) to 4000 P.E. for the PMT signal readout. In this paper, we present our work on the design of time discrimination circuits in LHAASO WCDA, especially on improvement to reduce the circuit dead time. Several approaches were studied through analysis and simulations, and actual circuits were designed and tested in the laboratory to evaluate the performance. Test results indicate that a time resolution better than 500 ps RMS is achieved in the whole large dynamic range, and the circuit dead time is successfully reduced to less than 200 ns.

description: The article analyzes and summarizes the available in foreign and domestic literature data on the features of the immune system and immunological reactions of fish conditions of increased anthropogenic load. It is noted that often the cause Immunological disorders in fish are immunotoxicity of heavy metals. Reasoned the need for further research on the immune parameters of fish as bioindicators pollution of the environment with heavy metals. The results of our studies showed that feeding carp fish for a month fat-soluble vitamins and trace elements Selenium, Zinc and Iodine in the dietary supplement causes a tendency to decrease lymphocyte activity and immunoregulatory index in carp and carp. The use of vitamins A, D3, E and trace elements Selenium, Zinc and Iodine in the supplement Enervik to the diet of carp did not significantly affect the number and functional activity of antigen-independent blood B-lymphocytes. The immune system of fish is a set of cellular and humoral immune factors and consists of cells of the lymphoid-macrophage complex (lymphocytes, granulocytes, Kupffer cells, Langerhans, etc.) and humoral components (immunoglobulins, system of components, complement) lysine, hemolysins, hemagglutinins, etc.). Cellular elements of the immune system are organized in tissue and organ structures. These include: thymus, spleen, liver, lymphoid tissue of the head and trunk of the kidneys, accumulation of lymphoid cranial tissue box, intestine, pericardium. Much of the immunocompetent cells are a component part of the blood and lymph.

subject: late-stage presentation

description: Cancer poses a significant global burden with many lives lost due to delayed presentation of symptoms and late diagnosis. Early detection and seeking timely medical advice and treatment is essential to educating individuals about health-seeking behaviours and recognising cancer symptoms. In low-socioeconomic countries, cancer mortality rates are exceptionally high, and multiple barriers hinder access to healthcare. For instance, in Fiji, the death rate for breast cancer in females is nearly 50%, indicating an urgent need for novel interventions that facilitate timely access to healthcare for women who experience breast cancer symptoms. The rising burden of cancer in the Pacific Islands and associated mortality has prompted the need to uncover the reasons contributing to these alarming statistics. By gaining insight into why women delay seeking healthcare for breast cancer symptoms, we can identify and implement interventions that address the barriers that hinder early detection. This research aims to understand the barriers that are present at the individual and community level that hinder women from accessing cancer care services in Fiji. Currently, there is a lack of research in the Fiji Islands that provides information on these barriers, making it challenging to implement appropriate interventions that support the early detection of breast cancer. Ultimately, the aim is to gather substantial evidence that can inform policymakers and organisations dedicated to combating cancer in Fiji. [...]
