description: An 85-year-old female patient was transferred to our clinic for surgical treatment of a complex FFP IIc. She had suffered a ground level fall 10 days ago and was still living independently. The patient was initially treated conservatively with pain medication and immobilization in an outward hospital. Due to the clinical symptoms and complex fracture pattern a physiotherapeutic assisted mobilization was not possible. The clinical examination revealed severe bilateral pain at the anterior and posterior pelvic ring. We performed a minimally invasive and an image-guided surgical stabilization. After surgical treatment the patient was mobilized with crutches for short distances. On the third day after surgical intervention the patient was discharged from our hospital into rehabilitation. This case shows the successful use of minimally invasive and modern navigation technique for treatment of a complex FFP.

description: We present OGLE-III Photometric Maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud. They contain precise, calibrated VI photometry of about 6.2 million stars from 41 OGLE-III fields in the SMC observed regularly in the years 2001-2008 and covering about 14 square degrees in the sky. Also precise astrometry of these objects is provided. One of the fields, SMC140, is centered on the 47 Tucanae Galactic globular cluster providing unique data on this object. We discuss quality of the data and present a few color-magnitude diagrams of the observed fields. All photometric data are available to the astronomical community from the OGLE Internet archive.

description: The biosemiotic hypothesis of neuromodulation is proven in recent interpretations of fungal languages of spike trains (Adamatzky, A. 2022). In this paper, we use an example of mycozooheral networks interfaced to spintronic IoT, with spintronic IPFS nodes to host an ecological metaverse of digital twins in the IPFS blockchain, incorporating classical and quantum Filecoin versions. Synchronization of growing ecological metaverses with reality using fungal languages remains a leading research protocol in the wood-wide web model, inspired by the network models of Pandora in the Avatar franchise.

description: 1. We find that any two distance moduli measurements for the same galaxy differ from each other by 2.07 times the reported one sigma uncertainty on average. 2. This average difference between distance moduli measurements of the same galaxy as a multiple of reported uncertainty is growing with time of publication, rising to 3.00 times the reported one sigma uncertainty for all distances reported from 2014 to 2018. 3. This average difference between distance moduli measurements of the same galaxy as a multiple of reported one sigma uncertainty is highest for the standard candles (3.01) including Cepheids (4.26), Type Ia Supernovae (2.85), and Tip of the Red Giant Branch (2.82). 4. This data points to a possible systematic underestimation of uncertainties in extragalactic distances. 5. The results also give a possible way out of the Hubble-Lemaitre tension by advocating for increasing the error bars on Hubble-Lemaitre constant measured via distance ladders of standard candles and rulers.

description: The recently discovered eclipsing binary system TYC 2675-663-1 is a X-ray source, and shows properties in the optical that are similar to the W UMa systems, but are somewhat unusual compared to what is seen in other contact binary systems. The goal of this work is to characterize its properties and investigate its nature by means of detailed photometric and spectroscopic observations. We have performed extensive V-band photometric measurements with the INTEGRAL satellite along with ground-based multi-band photometric observations, as well as high-resolution spectroscopic monitoring from which we have measured the radial velocities of the components. These data have been analysed to determine the stellar properties, including the absolute masses and radii. Additional low-resolution spectroscopy was obtained to investigate spectral features. From the measured eclipse timings we determine an orbital period for the binary of P=0.4223576+-0.0000009 days. The light-curve and spectroscopic analyses reveal the observations to be well represented by a model of an overcontact system composed of main-sequence F5 and G7 stars (temperature difference of nearly 1000 K), with the possible presence of a third star. Low-resolution optical spectroscopy reveals a complex H alpha emission, and other features that are not yet understood. The unusually large mass ratio of q=0.81+-0.05 places it in the rare "H" (high mass ratio) subclass of the W UMa systems, which are presumably on their way to coalescence.

Third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics induce phage bursts in the human gut microbiome

More information available: https://github.com/EpfeiferNutri/PrediRes

Summary:

Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiota, potentially causing long-term health problems and spreading resistance. We studied the impact of a 3-day cephalosporin course on gut phages in 22 healthy individuals, tracking them for six months. Phages, mostly temperate and rarely carrying resistance genes, remained individual-specific despite antibiotic-induced microbiome changes. While phage diversity and abundance decreased by 20% (recovering in 30 to 180 days), a few (mostly virulent) phages bloomed immediately post-treatment, potentially aiding bacterial diversity recovery. Notably, these phages targeted Parabacteroides distasonis, which proliferated only when these phages were absent. Our results highlight phages' crucial role in gut microbiota recovery after antibiotic use.

In addition, since each phonon probes the gap on only a small part of the Fermi surface, the gap anisotropy can be studied in detail. Our neutron scattering investigation of the anisotropic conventional superconductor YNi$_2$B$_2$C demonstrates this new application of phonon spectroscopy.

MOVIES AS A TOOL OF MODERN TOURIST MARKETING

Year: 2011

description: The contemporary tourist market hosts intense competition amongst countries and particularly amongst those that their economy is supported, to a rather critical extent, by tourism business. All countries try to promote their tourist products using various marketing techniques. International experience reveals that movies constitute an important marketing tool which can effectively serve the strategy for promotion of tourism destinations. Landscapes, significant heritage sites, festivals, attractions and historical monuments have quite often been selected as film shooting locations. Evidence shows that such films may, under certain circumstances, induce “film tourism”, a phenomenon where local economies eventually enjoy an increase in visitor numbers and related benefits after the circulation of the relevant movie.

description: In ultracold-atom and ion experiments, flexible control of the direction and amplitude of a uniform magnetic field is necessary. It is achieved almost exclusively by controlling the current flowing through coils surrounding the experimental chamber. Here, we present the design and characterization of a modular, analog electronic circuit that enables three-dimensional control of a magnetic field via the amplitude and direction of a current flowing through three perpendicular pairs of coils. Each pair is controlled by one module, and we are able to continuously change the current flowing thorough the coils in the $\pm$4 A range using analog waveforms such that smooth crossing through zero as the current's direction changes is possible. With the electrical current stability at the 10$^{-5}$ level, the designed circuit enables state-of-the-art ultracold experiments. As a benchmark, we use the circuit to compensate stray magnetic fields that hinder efficient sub-Doppler cooling of alkali atoms in gray molasses. We demonstrate how such compensation can be achieved without actually measuring the stray fields present, thus speeding up the process of optimization of various laser cooling stages.

Counting statistics of tunneling through a single molecule: effect of distortion and displacement of vibrational potential surface

description: We analyze the effects of a distortion of the nuclear potential of a molecular quantum dot (QD), as well as a shift of its equilibrium position, on nonequilibrium-vibration-assisted tunneling through the QD with a single level ($ε_d$) coupled to the vibrational mode. For this purpose, we derive an explicit analytical expression for the Franck-Condon (FC) factor for a displaced-distorted oscillator surface of the molecule and establish rate equations in the joint electron-phonon representation to examine the current-voltage characteristics and zero-frequency shot noise, and skewness as well. Our numerical analyses shows that the distortion has two important effects. The first one is that it breaks the symmetry between the excitation spectra of the charge states, leading to asymmetric tunneling properties with respect to $ε_d>0$ and $ε_d<0$. Secondly, distortion (frequency change of the oscillator) significantly changes the voltage-activated cascaded transition mechanism, and consequently gives rise to a different nonequilibrium vibrational distribution from that of the case without distortion. Taken in conjunction with strongly modified FC factors due to distortion, this results in some new transport features: the appearance of strong NDC even for a single-level QD with symmetric tunnel couplings; a giant Fano factor even for a molecule with an extremely weak electron-phonon interaction; and enhanced skewness that can have a large negative value under certain conditions.

description: We study two and three meson decays of the tau lepton within the framework of the Resonance Chiral Theory, that is based on the following properties of QCD: its chiral symmetry in the massless case, its large-N_C limit, and the asymptotic behaviour it demands to the relevant form factors. Most of the couplings in the Lagrangian are determined this way rendering the theory predictive. Our outcomes can be tested thanks to the combination of a very good experimental effort (current and forthcoming, at B- and tau-charm-factories) and the very accurate devoted Monte Carlo generators.

description: We report mid-infrared observations of SGR 1806-20 and its environment - with the highest spatial resolution in this domain to date - using ESO/VISIR in 2005 and 2006, and we retrieved Spitzer/IRAC-MIPS archival data of the same field. We aimed at studying the mid-infrared emission of the stars associated with the same cluster as SGR 1806-20, to detect variations that could be due to the high-energy activity of the magnetar through interaction with the dust. We also aimed at studying the morphology of the cloud close to the centre of the cluster. We performed broadband photometry of three stars - LBV 1806-20, a WC9 and an O/B supergiant - on our VISIR images, as well as on the IRAC data. We then built and fitted their broadband spectral energy distributions with a combination of two absorbed black bodies, representing their stellar components, as well as a possible mid-infrared excess, in order to derive their physical parameters. We show that LBV 1806-20 and the WC9 star exhibit a mid-infrared excess, likely because of the presence of circumstellar dust related to their winds. We also show that only LBV 1806-20 had a variable flux over a period of two years, variability which is due to its LBV nature rather than to a heating of the gas and dust cloud by the high-energy emission of SGR 1806-20. Finally, differences in the intrinsic absorptions of the three stars show an inhomogeneous structure of the density of the gas and dust cloud in the massive star cluster.

The Development of Cultural Tourism: A Review of UK Experience
Creators: name: Liu, Yi-De
name: Lin, Chi-Fan
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2011

description: This paper aims to identify commonalities in the successful development of cultural tourism in the UK that may be applied to other cities with similar contextual characteristics for cultural tourism development. It is also presented as a baseline for further comparative analysis. By examining and comparing the strategies of four major cities (i.e. London, Edinburg, Glasgow and Liverpool) with abundant experience in developing cultural tourism, it is found that London and Edinburgh, with an established cultural base and a large amount of ‘real cultural capital’, have managed to derive considerable economic benefit from its existing cultural facilities through developing cultural tourism. On the contrary, in Glasgow and Liverpool, the lack of an existing cultural base necessitated a strategy of investing continuously in new cultural attractions and events, and need to pay proportionately far more efforts than London and Edinburgh.Some implications are drawn for those cities tend to use cultural tourism for economic and tourism development. First, heritage resources are usually place-dependent, whereas art production and consumption is relatively place-independent. For those new destinations trying to overcome the dominance of the existing cultural capitals, they may focus on drama, musical performances or art displays those have higher mobility. Second, having culture is not enough. It is important to understand the needs of the cultural tourist, particularly in terms of the growing need to mix different cultural forms, such as ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture, and ‘learning’ and ‘fun’. Third, the event of the European Capitals of Culture is probably a good example of the new trends of cultural tourism. For instance, the brand created for Glasgow and Liverpool as European Capital of Culture status are set to last over and beyond the year of the event itself. However, care should be taken in the development of such event-based strategies.

Heuristics for k-domination models of facility location problems in street networks

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Discrete Mathematics (cs.DM)

description: We present new greedy and beam search heuristic methods to find small-size $k$-dominating sets in graphs. The methods are inspired by a new problem formulation which explicitly highlights a certain structure of the problem. An empirical evaluation of the new methods is done with respect to two existing methods, using instances of graphs corresponding to street networks. The k-domination problem with respect to this class of graphs can be used to model real-world facility location problem scenarios. For the classic minimum dominating set ($1$-domination) problem, all except one methods perform similarly, which is due to their equivalence in this particular case. However, for the k-domination problem with k>1, the new methods outperform the benchmark methods, and the performance gain is more significant for larger values of k.

description: Since the early days of search for a quantum theory of gravity the attempts have been mostly concentrated on the quantization of an otherwise classical system. The two most contentious candidate theories of gravity, sting theory and quantum loop gravity are based on a quantum field theory - the latter is a quantum field theory of connections on a SU(2) group manifold and former a quantum field theory in two dimensional spaces. Here we argue that there is a very close relation between quantum mechanics and gravity. Without gravity quantum mechanics becomes ambiguous. We consider this observation as the evidence for an intrinsic relation between these fundamental laws of nature. We suggest a quantum role and definition for gravity in the context of a quantum universe, and present a preliminary formulation for gravity in a system with a finite number of particles.

Subjects: Jews; Mario Levi; Turkish language; Turkish literature; Turkish nationalism

description: This article focuses on the problematic silence which characterizes the existence of the Jews in the Turkish public sphere. This silence permeates the period of the transition from the Empire to the Republic: under the latter, it becomes instrumental in the construction of a narrative of a long and unproblematic coexistence with the Turkish nation, producing an image of the Jews as the only non-Muslim population to have serenely traversed the transition and settled into the nation. This article starts from a reflection on the few literary traces, such as the works of Sevim Burak and Mario Levi, which emerged during the last decades of the 20th century. Consequently, through a re-reading of the historical formation of Turkish nationalism, the silence of the Jews is understood as the effect of the traumatic exclusion inflicted by the assimilatory character of this nationalism.

description: Nano-scaled Zinc oxide and Copper oxide semiconductors have been widely used as antibacterial agents because of low cost and non-toxicity, but high agglomeration and high electron-holes recombination rates hinder their performances. In this work, we synthesized silica-supported CuO/ZnO and CuO/ZnO bare nanocomposites by the sol-gel technique. The antibacterial activities of both nanocomposites have compared on Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aura) bacteria. The average crystal sizes of CuO/ZnO bare is 16.3 nm, and silica-supported CuO/ZnO is 29.1 nm as calculated from XRD data. Moreover, SEM results showed that there was no agglomeration in silica-supported CuO/ZnO due to the presence of silica. When antibacterial activities of both nanocomposites were tested by using the agar diffusion method, silica-supported CuO/ZnO showed an inhibition zone of 51% for Staphylococcus aureus and 53% for Escherichia coli compared with that of CuO/ZnO bare. Therefore, silica-supported CuO/ZnO nanocomposite is a promising antibacterial agent because of its low cost, non-toxicity, and good antibacterial properties..

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2011

description: This paper discusses the role of the Environmental Management Systems (EMS) applied to the tourism sector. Among contemporary instruments, being used to encourage the movements of tourist companies towards sustainability, an important role have voluntary/market instruments. That is why this paper analyses the principles, tasks, good practice experiences advantages, disadvantages and perspectives of EMS. Special attention is devoted to the ISO 14000 standards, representing the most important international regulations for environmental management. The above standards are the base for implementation of EMS within tourism, and make it possible for companies to direct the course of their actions towards a full agreement with the international criteria. Although application of environmental management in tourism is a relatively recent phenomenon, the potentialities of the EMS are huge and they can significantly contribute to putting tourism on a sustainable path.

Comet dust as a mixture of aggregates and solid particles: model consistent with ground-based and space-mission results

description: The most successful model of comet dust presents comet particles as aggregates of submicron grains. It qualitatively explains the spectral and angular change in the comet brightness and polarization and is consistent with the thermal infrared data and composition of the comet dust obtained {\it in situ} for comet 1P/Halley. However, it experiences some difficulties in providing a quantitative fit to the observational data. Here we present a model that considers comet dust as a mixture of aggregates and compact particles. The model is based on the Giotto and Stardust mission findings that both aggregates (made mainly of organics, silicates, and carbon) and solid silicate particles are present in the comet dust. We simulate aggregates as {\bf Ballistic Cluster-Cluster Aggregates (BCCA)} and compact particles as polydisperse spheroids with some distribution of the aspect ratio. The particles follow a power-law size distribution with the power -3 that is close to the one obtained for comet dust {\it in situ}, at studies of the Stardust returned samples, and the results of ground-based observations of comets. The model provides a good fit to the angular polarization curve. It also reproduces the positive spectral gradient of polarization, red color of the dust, and {\bf low albedo. It also has the ratio of compact to fluffy particles close to the one found {\it in situ} for comet 1P/Halley} and the mass ratio of silicate to carbonaceous materials equal to unity that is in accordance with the elemental abundances of Halley's dust found by Giotto mission.

description: This research project aims to study the significance of the historical tourism destinations databank of Route No.9 (East West Economic Corridor), located in Savannakhet, Savannakhet Province, Lao P.D.R. The historical destinations were assessed by adapting the Thailand Tourism Standard for measuring values. The author found that the measuring system should be adapted to the context of significance and values, as the numeric scheme was not the last result. The Lao Government has been trying to develop an ecotourism and cultural tourism policy.

description: Soil erosion is one of the most critical environmental problems in the sustainable development of agriculture and natural resources. Ethiopia is facing severe soil erosion problems. The present study was carried out in the Megech River catchment, Lake Tana Basin, North Western Ethiopia. The present study aims to identify the sensitive soil erosion-prone sub-watersheds in the Megech River catchment. ASTER-DEM (Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection), a 30 m spatial resolution digital elevation model (DEM), was used to delineate the sub-watersheds and drainage networks through spatial Analyst and ArcHydro extension of ESRI ArcGIS v10.6.1 software. The cloud-free optical satellite data got from Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) has been used to update the drainage network of the present study area. The study area was divided into four sub-watersheds: WS-1, WS-2, WS-3, and WS-4. The primary, linear, and areal drainage morphometric parameters were calculated by applying the standard formula. Furthermore, the ranks were allocated to each drainage morphometric parameter of the four sub-watersheds based on their soil erosion proneness. The compound factor value was calculated for the sub-watersheds. The lower value of the compound factor has a high possibility of soil erosion and vice versa. The compound factor of the present study area's sub-watersheds is 2.33 (WS-1), 2.88 (WS-2), 2.11(WS-3), and 2.67 (WS-4). Based on the compound factor value, the present study area's sub-watersheds 3,1,4 and 4 were classified into very high, high, medium, and low priority sub-watersheds, respectively. Through morphometric drainage analysis, the sub-watershed-3 has been identified as a very high-priority ranked watershed in the present study. It needs immediate soil conservation measures for efficient watershed planning and management. Further, the present study shows the effectiveness of the drainage morphometric analysis using the satellite image and GIS techniques in prioritizing the sub-watersheds for soil resource conservation and management in the Megech River catchment, Lake Tana Basin, North Western Ethiopia.

description: X-ray reflection off dense molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre region has established itself as a powerful probe for the past activity record of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* on a timescale of a few hundred years. Detailed studies of the reflection signal from individual clouds allow us to estimate parameters of the brightest flare(s) and explore properties of the dense gas distribution inside and around them. On the other hand, wide area surveys covering the full Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) are crucial to spot brightening of the new clouds and long-term decay of the flux from the once bright ones. Here we present and discuss the data obtained by the SRG/eROSITA telescope in the course of its commissioning observations in late 2019 in regard to the X-ray reflection off CMZ clouds located to the East of Sgr A*. We measure the hard X-ray (4-8 keV) flux from the currently brightest (in reflected emission) molecular complex Sgr A and derive upper limits for other molecular complexes. We confirm that the Sgr A complex keeps being bright at the level of $4\times10^{-13}\, {\rm erg\,s^{-1}\,cm^{-2}\,arcmin^{-2}}$, making it an excellent candidate for the deep forthcoming high resolution imaging and polarimetric observations. We also discuss distinct features of the reflected emission from the clouds for which the primary illumination front has already passed away and the signal is dominated by multiply scattered radiation.

Capillary instability on a hydrophilic stripe

description: A recent experiment showed that cylindrical segments of water filling a hydrophilic stripe on an otherwise hydrophobic surface display a capillary instability when their volume is increased beyond the critical volume at which their apparent contact angle on the surface reaches ninety degrees (Gau et al., Science, 283, 1999). Surprisingly, the fluid segments did not break up into droplets -- as would be expected for a classical Rayleigh-Plateau instability -- but instead displayed a long-wavelength instability where all excess fluid gathered in a single bulge along each stripe. We consider here the dynamics of the flow instability associated with this setup. We perform a linear stability analysis of the capillary flow problem in the inviscid limit. We first confirm previous work showing that that all cylindrical segments are linearly unstable if (and only if) their apparent contact angle is larger than ninety degrees. We then demonstrate that the most unstable wavenumber for the surface perturbation decreases to zero as the apparent contact angle of the fluid on the surface approaches ninety degrees, allowing us to re-interpret the creation of bulges in the experiment as a zero-wavenumber capillary instability. A variation of the stability calculation is also considered for the case of a hydrophilic stripe located on a wedge-like geometry.
An episodic approach to the demand for medical care
Creators: name: Stoddart, Gregory Lloyd
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The thesis is an analytic and empirical investigation of factors Influencing the demand for medical care. It proceeds from the premise that the utilization process is best conceptualized as consisting of two stages, a patient-initiated stage and a physician-generated stage. Furthermore, due to the nature of medical care itself, the economic concept of "demand" can only meaningfully be applied to the former stage while the term "utilization" encompasses both stages. It is then demonstrated that previous demand models, which postulated autonomous consumer decision-making and were tested upon utilization data rather than indices of demand, have been both analytic and empirical misspecifications. Consequently a measure of patient-initiated utilization (i.e. demand), labelled "the episode of medical service", is defined, developed and employed in regression analysis of demand for and utilization of medical care by a sample of Vancouver families. The major thrusts of the empirical portion of the thesis, both of which are supported by the results, are first that an episodic approach should prove more appropriate for explanation of demand differentials than utilization differentials, and second that the conventional micro-economic model of demand must be re-interpreted with respect to a medical marketplace characterized by public medical insurance. The main empirical findings are the existence of a consistent, inverse, and approximately linear income-demand relationship, the existence of a non-linear education-demand relationship (positive at lower education levels but levelling off after high school), and the insignificance of indirect price effects.

description: Purpose: To develop a cardiac T1 mapping method for free-breathing 3D T1 mapping of the whole heart at 3T with transmit B1 (B1+) correction Methods: A free-breathing, ECG-gated inversion recovery sequence with spoiled gradient-echo readout was developed and optimized for cardiac T1 mapping at 3T. High-frame rate dynamic images were reconstructed from sparse (k,t)-space data acquired along a stack-of-stars trajectory using a subspace-based method for accelerated imaging. Joint T1 and flip-angle (FA) estimation was performed in T1 mapping to improve its robustness to B1+ inhomogeneity. Subject-specific timing of data acquisition was utilized in the estimation to account for natural heart-rate variations during the imaging experiment. Results: Simulations showed that accuracy and precision of T1 mapping can be improved with joint T1 and FA estimation and optimized ECG-gated SPGR-based IR acquisition scheme. The phantom study showed good agreement between the T1 maps from the proposed method and the reference method. 3D cardiac T1 maps (40 slices) were obtained at a 1.9 mm in-plane and 4.5 mm through-plane spatial resolution from healthy subjects (n=6) with an average imaging time of 14.2 +- 1.6 min (heartbeat rate: 64.2 +- 7.1 bpm), showing myocardial T1 values comparable to those obtained from MOLLI. The proposed method generated B1+ maps with spatially smooth variation showing 21-32% and 11-15% variations across the septal-lateral and inferior-anterior regions of the myocardium in the left ventricle. Conclusion: The proposed method allows free-breathing 3D T1 mapping of the whole-heart with transmit B1 correction in a practical imaging time.

description: In this work we will be dealing with the figure of the D.I.Y. Tourist originated from the local development processes based on the “cottage tourist industry” concept. We will be doing this by using part of the results obtained through a research started more than three years ago, by which we are studying what happens in the territorial contexts where tourism develops mostly on a spontaneous basis, that is in the presence of a widespread and pervasive undetected tourism practiced through private accommodation and mostly selfmanaged.

Sub-wavelength position measurements with running wave driving fields

description: A scheme for sub-wavelength position measurements of quantum particles is discussed, which operates with running-wave laser fields as opposed to standing wave fields proposed in previous setups. The position is encoded in the phase of the applied fields rather than in the spatially modulated intensity of a standing wave. Therefore, disadvantages of standing wave schemes such as cases where the atom remains undetected since it is at a node of the standing wave field are avoided. Reversing the directions of parts of the driving laser fields allows to switch between different magnification levels, and thus to optimize the localization.
