description: Atomic quantum point contacts accommodate a small number of conduction channels. Their number N and transmission coefficients {T_n} can be determined by analyzing the subgap structure due to multiple Andreev reflections in the current-voltage (IV) characteristics in the superconducting state. With the help of mechanically controllable break-junctions we have produced Al contacts consisting of a small number of atoms. In the smallest stable contacts, usually three channels contribute to the transport. We show here that the channel ensemble {T_n} of few atom contacts remains unchanged up to temperatures and magnetic fields approaching the critical temperature and the critical field, respectively, giving experimental evidence for the prediction that the conduction channels are the same in the normal and in the superconducting state.

description: Refractory substances (humus) and salts (chloride (Cl-) and sulfate (SO42-) ions) remain in the biotreated landfill leachate treatment, and it is necessary to carry out further treatments by a suitable method before discharge. In this study, the effect and operational mechanism of a combination of the coagulation Fe0/H2O2 and ultra-high lime aluminum (UHLA) processes for the treatment of refractory organic substances and salts in the leachate effluent of a semi-aerobic aged refuse biofilter (SAARB) were investigated. The results showed that polyferric sulfate is a relatively efficient coagulant comparing to FeCl3, Al2(SO)4, and polyaluminium chloride. The Fe0/H2O2 process further removed refractory organics from wastewater, achieving 49.8% of total organic carbon removed. Further treatment by the UHLA process was carried. The results demonstrated that the amount of precipitant, reaction duration, and temperature had a significant impact on the Cl- and SO42- removals. After three treatments, the cumulative SO42- and Cl- removal efficiencies were 98% and 80%, respectively. The SO42- and Cl- were removed in the form of precipitates such as UHLA, specific components of which included calcium alumina, Fremy's salt of calcium, aluminum chloride, and calcium hydroxide. Overall, the UV254, CN, Cl-, and SO42- removal efficiencies from the SAARB effluent were 94.08%, 98.73%, 79.96%, and 98.44%, respectively, for the combined coagulation Fe0/H2O2 and UHLA processes. Therefore, the combined processes could effectively remove residual pollutants in the biologically-treated landfill leachate, and the study provides a useful reference for the removal of refractory organic matter and salts in landfill leachate.

description: The relic cosmological abundance of stable or long-lived neutral colored particles gets reduced by about a few orders of magnitude by annihilations that occur after QCD confinement. We compute the abundance and the cosmological bounds on relic gluinos. The same post-confinement effect strongly enhances co-annihilations with a lighter Dark Matter particle, provided that their mass difference is below a few GeV. Charged colored particles (such as stops) can instead form baryons, which can be (quasi)stable in some models.

description: To date, hyperthermia and chemotherapy have been widely investigated in the field of anticancer nanomedicine. However, in many cases, the efficacy of monotherapies have been limited owing to the heterogeneity of cancers and the acquired drug resistance. Noteworthy, hyperthermia has been demonstrated to offer numerous advantages when integrated with chemotherapy in nanoplatforms, namely increased accumulation of drugs in tumor site, enhanced cellular uptake, inhibition of DNA repair, and accelerated drug cytotoxicity against cancer cells. These evidences suggest a promising anticancer synergistic effect of hyperthermia and chemotherapy. This review will discuss the underlying mechanisms of action of chemo-hyperthermia combination therapy, and especially the strategies of design of advanced nanocarriers to effectively co-deliver hyperthermia and chemotherapeutic agents to the tumor based on various types of materials.

description: The fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) states or fractional Chern insulator (FCI) states have been studied on two-dimensional (2D) flat lattices with different boundary conditions. Here, we propose the geometry-dependent FCI/FQAH states that interacting particles are bounded on 2D singular lattices with arbitrary $n$-fold rotational symmetry. Based on the generalized Pauli principle, we construct trial wave functions for the singular-lattice FCI/FQAH states with the aid of an effective projection approach, and compare them with the exact diagonalization results. High wave-function overlaps show that the singular-lattice FCI/FQAH states are certainly related to the geometric factor $β$. More interestingly, we observe some exotic degeneracy sequences of edge excitations in these singular-lattice FCI/FQAH states, and provide an explanation that two branches of edge excitations mix together.

description: Frequency dependent current noise in ferromagnetic double junctions with Coulomb blockade is studied theoretically in the limit of sequential tunneling. Two different relaxation processes are found in the correlations between spin polarized tunneling currents; low frequency spin fluctuations and high frequency charge fluctuations. Spin accumulation in strongly asymmetric junctions is shown to lead to a negative differential resistance. We also show that large spin noise activated in the range of negative differential resistance gives rise to a significant enhancement of the current noise.

description: Background: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a small reducing gas molecule with various biological functions such as anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of exogenous H2S in the experimental models of retinal photodamage in vivo and in vitro. Methods: Rats with open eyelids were pretreated with H2S (80~120 μmol/kg) for 10 days and then continuously exposed to blue light (435~445nm, 11.2W/m2) for 8 h to establish in vivo experimental model. ARPE-19 cells were pretreated with H2S and then exposed to blue light to establish in vitro experimental model. Results: In vivo experiments, H2S significantly ameliorated blue light-induced retinal oxidative stress, apoptosis and degeneration. Moreover, H2S inhibited the activation of blue light-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress CHOP apoptotic signaling. In vitro experiments, H2S improved blue light-induced oxidative stress and oxidative damage. H2S inhibited ROS-mediated activation of ER stress CHOP apoptotic signaling. H2S alleviated blue light-induced apoptosis and increases cell viability. The ER stress inhibitor 4-PBA alleviated blue light-induced apoptosis and increases cell viability. Conclusion: Taken together, these results indicate that H2S can inhibit ROS-mediated ER stress-CHOP apoptosis signal, thereby alleviating blue light-triggered retinal apoptosis and degeneration.

The I-V characteristics exibit new quasiperiodic structures as a function of the current. The current interval, the number of the dI/dV peaks, and the magnetic field dependence of the peaks are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the resonant tunneling of a phase particle ina tilted-cosine potential for asingle Josephson junction with small capacitance.

description: We present high-angular-resolution {\it Hubble Space Telescope (HST)} optical and near-infrared imaging of the compact planetary nebula (PN) IRAS 21282+5050. Optical images of this object reveal several complex morphological structures including three pairs of bipolar lobes and an elliptical shell lying close to the plane of the sky. From near-infrared observations, we found a dust torus oriented nearly perpendicular to the major axis of elliptical shell. The results suggest that IRAS 21282+5050 is a multipolar PN, and these structures developed early during the post asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) evolution. From a three-dimensional (3-D) model, we derived the physical dimensions of these apparent structures. When the 3-D model is viewed from different orientations, IRAS 21282+5050 shows similar apparent structures as other multipolar PNs. Analysis of the spectral energy distribution and optical spectroscopic observations of the nebula suggests the presence of a cool companion to the hot central star responsible for the ionization of the nebula. Whether the binary nature of the central star has any relations with the multipolar structure of the nebula needs to be further investigated.

description: In this paper, we proposed a strategy for the establishment of an aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system for simultaneous nitrogen and Pb(II) removal from inorganic wastewater. AGS was stored in lead nitrate solution to select functional bacteria resistant to lead poison, and then an AGS system for ammonia nitrogen (180-270 mg/L) and Pb(II) (15-30 mg/L) removal was established based on carbon dosing and a two-stage oxic/anoxic operational mode. After storage for 40 days, the stability of AGS decreased because specific oxygen uptake rate, nitrification rate and abundance of Nitrosomonas decreased to different degrees compared with those before storage. During the first 70 days of the recovery process, AGS in R1 (the blank reactor) and R2 (the control reactor) both experienced a first breakage and then regranulation process. The main properties of AGS in reactors R1 and R2 tended to be stable after days 106 and 117, respectively, but the structure of steady-state AGS in R2 was more compact. The total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) in effluent from R1 and R2 basically remained below 25 mg/L after days 98 and 90, respectively. The Pb(II) concentration in effluent from R2 was always below 0.3 mg/L. On day 140, the relative abundance of Nitrosomonas in R2 (6.17%) was significantly lower than that in R1 (12.15%), whereas the relative abundance of denitrifying bacteria was significantly higher than that in R1 (62.44% and 46.79%). The system removed 1 kg of influent TIN only consuming approximately 1.85 kg of carbon source, demonstrating clear advantages in energy savings.

description: Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy following curative resection is the standard treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC). Randomized clinical trials using gemcitabine have shown a median overall survival (mOS) of 2 years and a 5-year survival rate of 15-20%. However, the effect of gemcitabine outside these trials is less clear. We examined the effect of postoperative gemcitabine on survival in an unselected cohort of patients receiving curative resection for PC in Denmark during a five-year period. Material and methods: From 1 May 2011 to 30 April 2016, 731 patients treated with curative resection were identified in the Danish Pancreatic Cancer Database (DPCD). Thirty patients died within 10 weeks postoperatively; 78 received other regimens or preoperative chemotherapy and were excluded. Of the remaining 623 patients, the chemotherapy (CT) group (n = 409, 66%) received gemcitabine within 10 weeks after resection, whereas the non-chemotherapy (NCT) group (n = 214, 34%) did not receive CT within 10 weeks. Results: CT patients were slightly younger than NCT patients but did not otherwise differ in baseline characteristics. The CT group showed a mOS of 24 months (95% CI; 21–27) and a 5-year survival rate of 22% (95% CI; 17–27); the NCT group had a mOS of 22 months (95% CI; 16–26, p = .27) and a 5-year survival rate of 26% (95% CI; 19–34, p = .66). Most patients (415/623) had lymph node metastases. Of these patients, those in the CT group (n = 280) had significantly longer mOS [20 months (95% CI; 18–24)] than those in the NCT group (n = 135) [14 months (95% CI; 11–17)]. Conclusions: In this national Danish cohort of PC patients undergoing resection between 2011 and 2016, the survival after postoperative gemcitabine was similar to that reported in previous clinical trials. However, the survival advantage of postoperative gemcitabine was limited to patients with lymph node metastases.
Two-Step Production of Resonant Bose-Einstein Condensates

description: Producing a substantial and stable resonant Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has proven to be a challenging experimental task due to heating and three-body losses that may occur even before the gas comes to thermal equilibrium. In this paper, by considering only two-body correlations, we note that a sudden quench from small to large scattering lengths may not be the best way to prepare a resonant BEC. As an alternative, we propose a two-step scheme that involves an intermediate scattering length, between $0$ and $\infty$, which serves to maximize the transfer probability of $N$ bosons of mass $m$ in a harmonic trap with frequency $ω$. We find that the intermediate scattering length should be $a\approx3.16N^{-2/3}\sqrt{\hbar/(mω)}$ to produce an optimum transition probability of $1.03N^{-1/6}$.

description: Wilson's Numerical Renormalization Group method is used to study the paramagnetic ground state of the periodic Anderson model within the dynamical mean-field approach. For the particle-hole symmetric model, which is a Kondo insulator, we find that the lattice Kondo scale T_0 is strongly enhanced over the impurity scale T_K; T_0/T_K ~ exp(1/3I), where I is the Schrieffer-Wolff exchange coupling. In the metallic regime, where the conduction band filling is reduced from one, we find characteristic signatures of Nozières exhaustion scenario, including a strongly reduced lattice Kondo scale, a significant suppression of the states available to screen the f-electron moment, and a Kondo resonance with a strongly enhanced height. However, in contrast to the quantitative predictions of Nozières, we find that the T_0 ~ T_K with a coefficient which depends strongly on conduction band filling.

description: We are reminded constantly — by funders, by policy makers, and by our own researchers — of the need to incentivise a positive research culture. There is no question that we all want this, but how do we make it happen in practice? Changing culture requires a range of aligned approaches, a lot of patience, as well as creative ways of measuring whether we are moving in the right direction.

This paper summarises the outcome of an event that brought together around 60 researchers, funders, policy makers, research managers and representatives from the publishing industry to identify the practical actions that promote a positive research culture; that is, one in which good practice and collegiality are the norm.

This briefing is based on the experience of the University of Glasgow of assessing and furthering research culture, but our observations are relevant to all institutions. The question set for our first survey on research culture is also open for others to use or adapt.

description: We investigate the performance of parity check codes using the mapping onto Ising spin systems proposed by Sourlas. We study codes where each parity check comprises products of K bits selected from the original digital message with exactly C checks per message bit. We show, using the replica method, that these codes saturate Shannon's coding bound for $K\to\infty$ when the code rate K/C is finite. We then examine the finite temperature case to asses the use of simulated annealing methods for decoding, study the performance of the finite K case and extend the analysis to accommodate different types of noisy channels. The connection between statistical physics and belief propagation decoders is discussed and the dynamics of the decoding itself is analyzed. Further insight into new approaches for improving the code performance is given.

description: We show that the one-dimensional (1D) electron systems can also be described by Landau's phenomenological Fermi-liquid theory. Most of the known results derived from the Luttinger-liquid theory can be retrieved from the 1D Fermi-liquid theory. Exact correspondence between the Landau parameters and Haldane parameters is established. The exponents of the dynamical correlation functions and the impurity problem are also discussed based on the finite size corrections of elementary excitations with the predictions of the conformal field theory, which provides a bridge between the 1D Fermi-liquid and the Luttinger liquid.

description: Graphene is an atomically thin plasmonic medium that supports highly confined plasmon polaritons, or nano-light, with very low loss. Electronic properties of graphene can be drastically altered when it is laid upon another graphene layer, resulting in a moiré superlattice. The relative twist angle between the two layers is a key tuning parameter of the interlayer coupling in thus obtained twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). We studied propagation of plasmon polaritons in TBG by infrared nano-imaging. We discovered that the atomic reconstruction occurring at small twist angles transforms the TBG into a natural plasmon photonic crystal for propagating nano-light. This discovery points to a pathway towards controlling nano-light by exploiting quantum properties of graphene and other atomically layered van der Waals materials eliminating need for arduous top-down nanofabrication.

description: At hadron colliders, the leading production mechanism for a pair of photons is from quark-anti-quark annihilation at the tree level. However, due to large gluon-gluon luminosity, the loop-induced process $gg\to γγ$ provides a substantial contribution. In particular, the amplitudes mediated by the top quark become important at the $t \bar t$ threshold and above. In this letter we present the first complete computation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections (up to $α_S^3$) to this process, including contributions from the top quark. These entail two-loop diagrams with massive propagators whose analytic expressions are unknown and have been evaluated numerically. We find that the NLO corrections to the top-quark induced terms are very large at low diphoton invariant mass $m(γγ)$ and close to the $t \bar t$ threshold. The full result including five massless quarks and top quark contributions at NLO displays a much more pronounced change of slope in the $m(γγ)$ distribution at $t \bar t$ threshold than at LO and an enhancement at high invariant mass with respect to the massless calculation.
Anomalous structure factor of dense star polymer solutions

description: The core-core structure factor of dense star polymer solutions in a good solvent is shown theoretically to exhibit an unusual behaviour above the overlap concentration. Unlike usual liquids, these solutions display a structure factor whose first peak decreases by increasing density while the second peak grows. The scenario repeats itself with the subsequent peaks as the density is further enhanced. For low enough arm numbers $f$ ($f \leq 32$), various different considerations lead to the conclusion that the system remains fluid at all concentrations.

description: Nanoparticle (NP)-protein complexes exhibit the correct identity of NP in biological media. Therefore, protein-NP interactions should be closely explored to understand and to modulate the nature of NPs in medical implementations. This review focuses mainly on the physicochemical parameters such as dimension, surface chemistry, the morphology of NPs and influence of medium pH on the formation of protein corona and conformational changes of adsorbed proteins by different kinds of methods. Also, the impact of protein corona on the colloidal stability of NPs is discussed. Uncontrolled protein attachment on NPs may bring unwanted impacts such as protein denaturation and aggregation. In contrast, controlled protein adsorption by optimal concentration, size, pH and surface modification of NPs may result in potential implementation of NPs as therapeutic agents especially for disaggregation of amyloid fibrils. Also, the effect of NPs-protein corona on reducing the cytotoxicity and clinical implications such as drug delivery, cancer therapy, imaging and diagnosis will be discussed. Validated correlative physicochemical parameters for NP-protein corona formation frequently derived from protein corona fingerprints of NPs which are more valid than the parameters obtained only on the base of NP features. This review may provide useful information regarding the potency as well as the adverse effects of NPs to predict their behavior in the in vivo experiments.

description: This paper focuses on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design and implementation of intelligent control system applications on a chip, specifically fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm processing units. Initially, an overview of the FPGA technology is presented, followed by design methodologies, development tools and the use of hardware description languages (HDL). Two FPGA design examples with the use of Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) of parameterized fuzzy logic controller cores are discussed. Thereinafter, a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designed by the authors in previous work and realized on FPGA featuring a Digital Fuzzy Logic Controller (DFLC) and a soft processor core for the path tracking problem of mobile robots is discussed. Finally a Genetic Algorithm implementation (previously published by the authors) in FPGA chip for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is also discussed.

description: The patients with chronic pain in osteoarthritis often have insufficient pain relief from non-opioids analgesics. Buprenorphine is a promising molecule for symptomatic relief of chronic pain. The marketed parenteral injections and sublingual tablets have short duration of action (half-life = 2.7 h), which is not suitable to manage chronic pain. The purpose of this research was to design buprenorphine-loaded Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide transdermal (noninvasive) hydrogel to achieve sustained release of buprenorphine to manage chronic pain in osteoarthritis. Pluronic F127 was used to stabilize the reduced graphene oxide in hydrogel system. The characterization studies including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide from graphite. The transmission electron microscopy image showed flat nanosheets of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The developed hydrogel showed desirable pH, viscosity, adhesiveness, hardness, and cohesiveness for transdermal application. The ex vivo release study demonstrated the ability of the Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide (P-rGO) hydrogel to prolong release up to 14 days, owing to the strong π–π interactions between the graphene oxide (GO) and the buprenorphine. In cold ethanol tail flick model, the GO hydrogel showed sustained analgesic effect in comparison with hydrogel without rGO. Thus, this study demonstrated the potential of using Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide nanocarriers to prolong local analgesia for effective management for chronic pain.

description: We present a numerical scheme for solving the time-independent nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equation in two dimensions describing the Bose-Einstein condensate of trapped interacting neutral atoms at zero temperature. The trap potential is taken to be of the harmonic-oscillator type and the interaction both attractive and repulsive. The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is numerically integrated consistent with the correct boundary conditions at the origin and in the asymptotic region. Rapid convergence is obtained in all cases studied. In the attractive case there is a limit to the maximum number of atoms in the condensate.

description: The Millipede site is a Nebraska variant (Central Plains tradition) lodge dating to ca. AD 1300. The structure had burned, preserving a rich array of plant remains and insects. Elm was the principal wood used in lodge construction and hophornbeam (ironwood) was also heavily employed. Maize (mostly 10-row) was plentiful, and common beans also were present. Over 3,600 goosefoot (Chenopodium cf. berlandieri) seeds were recovered, most of which derive from a domesticated variety. Other abundant native domesticated plants included sumpweed and tobacco. Charred insect larvae, mostly darkling beetles (false wireworms), were associated with food remains in the bottom of an open storage pit and on the lodge floor. We conclude that the lodge’s residents vacated and intentionally burned the structure. Insect infestation may have contributed to the residents’ decision to burn the lodge, but burning also might have formed part of a closing ritual associated with decommissioning the dwelling.
