description: The discovery of OI atoms and CII ions in the upper atmosphere of HD 209458b, made with the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) using the G140L grating, showed that these heavy species fill an area comparable to the planet's Roche lobe. The derived ~10% transit absorption depths require super-thermal processes and/or supersolar abundances. From subsequent Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) observations, CII absorption was reported with tentative velocity signatures, and absorption by SiIII ions was also claimed in disagreement with a negative STIS G140L detection. Here, we revisit the COS dataset showing a severe limitation in the published results from having contrasted the in-transit spectrum against a stellar spectrum averaged from separate observations, at planetary phases 0.27, 0.72, and 0.49. We find variable stellar SiIII and CII emissions that were significantly depressed not only during transit but also at phase 0.27 compared to phases 0.72 and 0.49. Their respective off-transit 7.5 and 3.1% flux variations are large compared to their reported 8.2+/-1.4% and 7.8+/-1.3% transit absorptions. Significant variations also appear in the stellar line shapes, questioning reported velocity signatures. We furthermore present archive STIS G140M transit data consistent with no SiIII absorption, with a negative result of 1.7+/-18.7 including ~15% variability. Silicon may still be present at lower ionization states, in parallel with the recent detection of extended magnesium, as MgI atoms. In this frame, the firm detection of OI and CII implying solar or supersolar abundances contradicts the recent inference of potential x20-125 subsolar metallicity for HD 209458b.

description: We construct periodic approximations to the free energies of Ising models on fractal lattices of dimension smaller than two, in the case of zero external magnetic field, using a generalization of the combinatorial method of Feynman and Vodvickenko. Our procedure is applicable to any fractal obtained by the removal of sites of a periodic two dimensional lattice. As a first application, we compute estimates for the critical temperatures of many different Sierpinski carpets and we compare them to known Monte Carlo estimates. The results show that our method is capable of determining the critical temperature with, possibly, arbitrary accuracy and paves the way to determine $T_c$ for any fractal of dimension below two. Critical exponents are more difficult to determine since the free energy of any periodic approximation still has a logarithmic singularity at the critical point implying $α= 0$. We also compute the correlation length as a function of the temperature and extract the relative critical exponent. We find $ν=1$ for all periodic approximation, as expected from universality.

description: Cystoseira sedoides (Desfontaines) Agardh is a Mediterranean brown alga of the Sargassaceae family (Phaeophyceae, Fucales), narrow endemic of Algerian, Tunisian, and Sicilian coasts. It appears to be one of the most notable founding elements of upper infralittoral photophilic ecosystems in Eastern and center Algerian waters. The study of historical data indicates that the species was very common in the Algiers region from Ain Benian to Surcouf. However, we did not observe Cystoseira sedoides in the mentioned locations, referred to nowadays as highly disturbed areas, suggesting a rarefaction trend that could lead to extinction. Statistical analyses revealed significant thallus length differences, with long algae of 45.4 ± 1.8 cm in stations with moderate hydrodynamics, whereas shorter ones (18.6 ± 1.3 cm) were observed in the most exposed ones. Algal dry weights (max = 1019 ± 111 g.m-2, min = 574 ± 68 g.m-2) and densities (max = 80 ± 18.37 ind.m-2, min = 35 ± 10 ind.m-2) did not show any significant differences across the stations, and were comparable to those of subtidal and infralittoral canopies dominated by other Cystoseira species. In addition, a total of 115 macroinvertebrate species were identified and enumerated at the different stations. Although the observed assemblages were not specific to Cystoseira sedoides systems, the biodiversity and eveness indices however indicated high richness and balanced to moderately balanced communities. These assemblages were dominated by the cosmopolitan and common amphipods Ampithoe ramondi (Audouin, 1826) and Elasmopus pocillimanus (Spence Bate, 1862), and the variability appeared to be strongly related to the hydrodynamics gradient.

description: Objective: The HepatAssist liver support system is an extracorporeal porcine hepatocyte-based bioartificial liver (BAL). The safety and efficacy of the BAL were evaluated in a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial in patients with severe acute liver failure. Summary Background Data: In experimental animals with acute liver failure, we demonstrated beneficial effects of the BAL. Similarly, Phase I trials of the BAL in acute liver failure patients yielded promising results. Methods: A total of 171 patients (86 control and 85 BAL) were enrolled. Patients with fulminant/subfulminant hepatic failure and primary nonfunction following liver transplantation were included. Data were analyzed with and without accounting for the following confounding factors: liver transplantation, time to transplant, disease etiology, disease severity, and treatment site. Results: For the entire patient population, survival at 30 days was 71% for BAL versus 62% for control (P = 0.26). After exclusion of primary nonfunction patients, survival was 73% for BAL versus 59% for control (n = 147; P = 0.12). When survival was analyzed accounting for confounding factors, in the entire patient population, there was no difference between the 2 groups (risk ratio = 0.67; P = 0.13). However, survival in fulminant/subfulminant hepatic failure patients was significantly higher in the BAL compared with the control group (risk ratio = 0.56; P = 0.048). Conclusions: This is the first prospective, randomized, controlled trial of an extracorporeal liver support system, demonstrating safety and improved survival in patients with fulminant/subfulminant hepatic failure.

description: Alternde Gesellschaft und Langlebigkeit – auf den ersten Blick sind dies Begriffe, die gleichzusetzen sind. Jedoch wird bei genauerer Betrachtung des aktuellen Wissensstandes klar, dass eine differenzierte Sichtweise durchaus angebracht ist. Fakt ist: Die alternde Gesellschaft ist der Treiber des demographischen Wandels und wird uns alle bezüglich Ausbildung, Erwerbsleben, Ruhestand und ganzheitliche Lebensplanung beschäftigen. Weltweit, mit unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen, steigt die Lebenserwartung bei gleichzeitig fallender oder stagnierender Geburtenrate, die schliesslich zur Alterung der Gesellschaft führt. Langlebigkeit beschreibt jedoch auch die Tatsache, dass Menschen nicht nur länger leben, sondern auch noch aktiver, vitaler und produktiver sind, als es in der Vergangenheit möglich war. Der vorliegende Text unternimmt den Versuch, mittels einer ausführlichen Literaturrecherche unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf das Alter zu veranschaulichen. Es wird deutlich, dass das Alter ein mehrdimensionales Konzept ist mit weitgreifenden Auswirkungen auf eine Gesellschaft. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt jedoch ausschliesslich auf den Auswirkungen auf das Arbeitsleben. Neue Verhaltensweisen, Erwartungen und Bedürfnisse der Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitnehmerinnen stehen gesellschaftlichen Strukturen gegenüber, die diese demographische Entwicklung noch nicht widerspiegeln. Dies betrifft nicht nur die Gestaltung des beruflichen Werdegangs, sondern auch Bildung, Arbeitsformen und Altersvorsorge. In der heutigen Diskussion wird sehr oft auf die Eigenverantwortung hingewiesen, die im vorherrschenden Wandel der Arbeitswelt eingefordert wird. Was jedoch zu kurz kommt, ist der Punkt, welche Rahmenbedingungen gegeben sein müssen, um diese Eigenverantwortung effektiv wahrnehmen zu können. Eine der Schlussfolgerung dieser Arbeit ist, dass es hier eine enge Abstimmung zwischen der öffentlichen Hand, dem privaten Sektor sowie den Bildungsinstitutionen bedarf, um auf diesen Wandel nicht nur zu reagieren, sondern und auch mitzugestalten. Der Staat muss als Wegbereiter für strukturelle Anpassungen agieren und dies in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Arbeitgeberinnen und Arbeitgebern und dessen Vertretungen sowie durch die enge Einbindung des Bildungssektor. Nur durch eine ganzheitliche Vorgehensweise können die aufkommenden Herausforderungen einer alternden Arbeitnehmerschaft als Chancen genutzt werden.

description: Objective: To determine the natural history of pancreatitis-induced splenic vein thrombosis with particular attention to the risk of gastric variceal hemorrhage. Summary Background Data: Previous studies have suggested that splenic vein thrombosis results in a high likelihood of gastric variceal bleeding and that splenectomy should be performed to prevent hemorrhage. Recent improvements in cross-sectional imaging have led to the identification of splenic vein thrombosis in patients with minimal symptoms. Our clinical experience suggested that gastric variceal bleeding in these patients was uncommon. Methods: A computerized index search from 1993 to 2002 for the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of pancreatitis was performed. Fifty-three patients with a diagnosis of pancreatitis and splenic vein thrombosis were identified. The medical records of these patients were reviewed, and follow-up was completed, including the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ). Results: Gastrosplenic varices were identified in 41 patients (77%) with varices evident on computed tomography (CT) in 40 of 53 patients, on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in 11 of 36 patients, and on both CT and EGD in 10 of 36 patients. This risk of variceal bleeding was 5% for patients with CT-identified varices and 18% for EGD-identified varices. Overall, only 2 patients (4%) had gastric variceal bleeding and required splenectomy. Functional quality of life was better than historical controls surgically treated for chronic pancreatitis. Conclusion: Gastric variceal bleeding from pancreatitis-induced splenic vein thrombosis occurs in only 4% of patients

description: Objective: To determine the risk of small bowel obstruction (SBO) after irradiation (RT) for rectal cancer. Background: SBO is a frequent complication after standard resection of rectal cancer. Although the use of RT is increasing, the effect of RT on risk of SBO is unknown. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry data linked to Medicare claims data to determine the effect of RT on risk of SBO. Patients 65 years of age and older diagnosed with nonmetastatic invasive rectal cancer treated with standard resection from 1986 through 1999 were included. We determined whether patients had undergone RT and evaluated the effect of RT and timing of RT on the incidence of admission to hospital for SBO, adjusting for potential confounders using a proportional hazards model. Results: We identified a total of 5606 patients who met our selection criteria: 1994 (36%) underwent RT, 74% postoperatively. Patients were followed for a mean of 3.8 years. A total of 614 patients were admitted for SBO over the study period; 15% of patients in the RT group and 9% of patients in the nonirradiated group (P < 0.001). After controlling for age, sex, race, diagnosis year, type of surgery, and stage, we found that patients who underwent postoperative RT were at higher risk of SBO, hazard ratio 1.69 (95% CI, 1.3–2.1). However, the long-term risk associated with preoperative irradiation was not statistically significant (hazard ratio, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.55–1.46). Conclusions: Postoperative but not preoperative RT after standard resection of rectal cancer results in an increased risk of SBO over time.

description: A large inventory of tanaidaceans is reported from an upstream-downstream transect in tidal channels of the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia), collected during a 2016–2017 seasonal sampling campaign. Eight species were identified from a collection of 2,896 individuals, including four species of the genus Apseudopsis. One species belonging to Apseudopsis has recently been described from this material, while four other species are newly recorded from Tunisian waters. Most of the individuals were sampled in Winter and from a single channel polluted by the release of phosphogypsum waste. This unusually high diversity in shallow waters is discussed from a taxonomic point of view, taking into account the misidentification of the species Apseudopsis latreillii, which is the only species of the genus mentioned in the most widely used identification keys. Most of the reports on the geographical distribution of this species need to be re-assessed taking into account the species described recently in the North Atlantic Ocean including the Mediterranean Sea.

description: The availability of a universal quantum computer will have fundamental impact on a vast number of research fields and society as a whole. An increasingly large scientific and industrial community is working towards the realization of such a device. An arbitrarily large quantum computer is best constructed using a modular approach. We present a blueprint for a trapped-ion based scalable quantum computer module which makes it possible to create a scalable quantum computer architecture based on long-wavelength radiation quantum gates. The modules control all operations as stand-alone units, are constructed using silicon microfabrication techniques and they are within reach of current technology. To perform the required quantum computations, the modules make use of long-wavelength-radiation based quantum gate technology. To scale this microwave quantum computer architecture to an arbitrary size we present a fully scalable design that makes use of ion transport between different modules, thereby allowing arbitrarily many modules to be connected to construct a large-scale device. A high-error-threshold surface error correction code can be implemented in the proposed architecture to execute fault-tolerant operations. With only minor adjustments the proposed modules are also suitable for alternative trapped-ion quantum computer architectures, such as schemes using photonic interconnects.

description: Güllük Bay is one of the most important common sole fishery areas in Turkey. In this study, it was aimed to determine the total (Z), natural (M) and fishing (Fcurr) mortalities and current exploitation rate (E). We obtained samples from small-scale commercial fishermen between October 2013 and November 2015. Z, M, Fcurr and E were estimated as 0.97.yr-1, 0.31.yr-1, 0.66.yr-1 and 0.68.yr-1, respectively. According to reference points, we found Fcurr and E to be high and these values are thought to be associated with high fishing pressure on common sole stocks. Limiting of the panel numbers, additional closure seasons, scientific monitoring, considering other commercial species, and education of fishermen should be implemented in order to decrease fishing pressure for the sustainable common sole fishery.

description: In this study, the main population parameters (age, length, sex composition, length-weight relationship, age- length relationship, growth parameters, condition factor, gonad somatic index, mortality, and reproduction properties) of the black scorpion fish Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758 in the Black Sea were investigated. Scorpaena porcus was collected by monthly sampling and a total of 2442 black scorpion fish were sampled by the use of regular and trammel nets. The average length of the specimens was 15.78 ± 3.19 cm and the average weight was 87.08 ± 66.96 g. The length-weight relationship equation for all the individuals was W = 0.0165 L3.0559 (R2 = 0.96). In the study, 1562 females and 876 males were examined, and the females/males ratio was found to be 1:0.56. Age determinations were conducted on 594 individuals, and the age distribution was found to be 0-9 years. Growth constants obtained were L∞ = 35 cm, K = 0.1359 year-1, t0 = -2.5404 years. Mortality rates calculated were instantaneous mortality rate (Z) = 0.5399, natural mortality rate (M) = 0.3467, and fishing mortality rate (F) = 0.193. It was found that reproduction took place between May and October, intensively during June and July.

description: The temperature dependence of DNA flexibility is studied in the presence of stretching and unzipping forces. Two classes of models are considered. In one case the origin of elasticity is entropic due to the polymeric correlations, and in the other the double-stranded DNA is taken to have an intrinsic rigidity for bending. In both cases single strands are completely flexible. The change in the elastic constant for the flexible case due to thermally generated bubbles is obtained exactly. For the case of intrinsic rigidity, the elastic constant is found to be proportional to the square root of the bubble number fluctuation.

description: The fall of prices of the high-throughput genome sequencing changes the landscape of modern genomics. A number of large scale projects aimed at sequencing many human genomes are in progress. Genome sequencing also becomes an important aid in the personalized medicine. One of the significant side effects of this change is a necessity of storage and transfer of huge amounts of genomic data. In this paper we deal with the problem of compression of large collections of complete genomic sequences. We propose an algorithm that is able to compress the collection of 1092 human diploid genomes about 9,500 times. This result is about 4 times better than what is offered by the other existing compressors. Moreover, our algorithm is very fast as it processes the data with speed 200MB/s on a modern workstation. In a consequence the proposed algorithm allows storing the complete genomic collections at low cost, e.g., the examined collection of 1092 human genomes needs only about 700MB when compressed, what can be compared to about 6.7 TB of uncompressed FASTA files.

description: Objective: We hypothesized that human pancreatic cancer resists TGF-β signaling and cell death through increased Ski expression. Summary Background Data: Ski is an oncogenic protein that acts as a TGF-β repressor and prevents related gene transcription. Previous work suggests that Ski acts as an oncoprotein in melanoma and esophageal cancer. Ski expression and function have not been determined in human pancreatic cancer. Methods: Immunohistochemistry and immunoblots assessed Ski expression in human pancreatic cancer. Panc-1 cells were treated with or without Ski siRNA, and Ski and Smad protein expression, transcriptional reporter activation, and growth assays were determined. Panc-1 cells were inoculated in the flank of nude mice and tumor volume and histology assessed after administration of Ski siRNA or control vector. Results: Ski was abundantly expressed in human pancreatic cancer specimens assessed by immunohistochemistry (91%) and immunoblot analysis (67%). Panc-1 cells exhibited nascent Ski expression that was maximally inhibited 48 hours after transfection with Ski siRNA. TGF-β transcriptional activity was increased 2.5-fold in Ski siRNA-treated cells compared with control (P < 0.05). Ski siRNA increased TGF-β-induced Smad2 phosphorylation and p21 expression. Panc-1 growth in culture was decreased 2-fold at 72 hours. A Ski siRNA expression vector injected into nude mice resulted in a 5-fold decrease in growth. Conclusion: Inhibition of Ski through RNA interference restored TGF-β signaling and growth inhibition in vitro, and decreased tumor growth in vivo.

description: Two specimens of rare Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) were found entering the lower River Neretva in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in mid 2017. One was an adult female with ripe eggs, being the first mature female individual caught in the Eastern Adriatic Sea. This finding could indicate potential spawning activity and is remarkable especially in comparison with other records of this species from the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea.

description: The solar disk is a bright gamma-ray source. Surprisingly, its flux is about one order of magnitude higher than predicted. As a first step toward understanding the physical origin of this discrepancy, we perform a new analysis in 1-100 GeV using 6 years of public Fermi-LAT data. Compared to the previous analysis by the Fermi Collaboration, who analyzed 1.5 years of data and detected the solar disk in 0.1-10 GeV, we find two new and significant results: 1. In the 1-10 GeV flux (detected at $>5σ$), we discover a significant time variation that anticorrelates with solar activity. 2. We detect gamma rays in 10-30 GeV at $>5σ$, and in 30-100 GeV at $> 2σ$. The time variation strongly indicates that solar-disk gamma rays are induced by cosmic rays and that solar atmospheric magnetic fields play an important role. Our results provide essential clues for understanding the underlying gamma-ray production processes, which may allow new probes of solar atmospheric magnetic fields, cosmic rays in the solar system, and possible new physics. Finally, we show that the Sun is a promising new target for ground-based TeV gamma-ray telescopes such as HAWC and LHAASO.

description: Background: We explored the relationship between virological response in the first year of treatment and long-term outcomes in the BENCHMRK studies. Methods: Patients failing antiretroviral treatment with 3-class resistant HIV-1 received double-blinded raltegravir (or placebo) with optimized background therapy (OBT) until week 156, followed by open-label raltegravir with OBT up to week 240. In this exploratory analysis of patients randomized to raltegravir, virological response over weeks 16-48 was categorized as continuous suppression (CS; viral RNA [vRNA] always <50 copies/ml), low-level viraemia (LLV; vRNA always <400 copies/ml, >50 copies/ml at least once), or not suppressed (NS; vRNA >400 copies/ml at least once). The association between these first-year vRNA response categories and baseline factors was analysed with univariate and multivariate models. Virological and immunological outcomes for years 2-5 were assessed by first-year vRNA response category (observed failure approach). Results: Baseline vRNA, baseline CD4(+) T-cell count and rapid viral decay (vRNA <50 copies/ml between weeks 2-12) correlated with first-year vRNA response (P<0.001); only rapid viral decay remained significant by multiple regression. Virological response rates were similar in the LLV and CS groups and lowest in the NS group. CD4(+) T-cell count increased through week 240 in the CS and LLV groups. Time to loss of virological response (confirmed vRNA ≥400 copies/ml) through week 240 did not support as strong a difference between the LLV and CS groups (log-rank P=0.11) as previously reported through weeks 156 and 192 (P<0.05). Conclusions: Treatment-experienced patients on a raltegravir-based regimen with early LLV may have long-term virological and immunological benefit when their therapy is maintained.

description: The layered transition metal chalcogenides have been a fertile land in solid state physics for many decades. Various MX2-type transition metal dichalcogenides, such as WTe2, IrTe2, and MoS2, have triggered great attention recently, either for the discovery of novel phenomena or some extreme or exotic physical properties, or for their potential applications. PdTe2 is a superconductor in the class of transition metal dichalcogenides, and superconductivity is enhanced in its Cu-intercalated form, Cu0.05PdTe2. It is important to study the electronic structures of PdTe2 and its intercalated form in order to explore for new phenomena and physical properties and understand the related superconductivity enhancement mechanism. Here we report systematic high resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) studies on PdTe2 and Cu0.05$PdTe2 single crystals, combined with the band structure calculations. We present for the first time in detail the complex multi-band Fermi surface topology and densely-arranged band structure of these compounds. By carefully examining the electronic structures of the two systems, we find that Cu-intercalation in PdTe2 results in electron-doping, which causes the band structure to shift downwards by nearly 16 meV in Cu0.05PdTe2. Our results lay a foundation for further exploration and investigation on PdTe2 and related superconductors.

description: We examined recalled narratives of boys with fragile X syndrome with autism spectrum disorder (FXS-ASD; N=28) and without ASD (FXS-O; N=29), and compared them to those of boys with Down syndrome (DS; N=33) and typically developing boys (TD; N=39). Narratives were scored for mentions of macrostructural Story Grammar elements (Introduction, Relationship, Initiating Events, Internal Response, Attempts/Actions, and Ending). We found that narrative recall is predicted by short-term memory and nonverbal mental age levels in almost all groups (except TD), but not by expressive syntax or caregiver education. After adjusting for these covariates, there were no differences between the three groups with intellectual disability (ID). The FXS-ASD group, however, had significantly poorer performance than the TD group on the overall Story Grammar score, and both the FXS-O and FXS-ASD groups had lower Attempts/Actions scores than the TD group. We conclude that some form of narrative impairment may be associated with FXS, that this impairment may be shared by other forms of ID, and that the presence of ASD has a significantly detrimental effect on narrative recall.

description: One new species of the family Comesomatidae Filiepjev, 1918 was collected from marine sediments in the South China Sea, and it is described here as Setosabatieria minor sp. nov. Setosabatieria minor sp. nov. is characterized by its relatively small body size in the genus, mutispiral amphideal fovea with 3 turns, four longitudinal rows of 2-4 cervical setae, 8 minute pre-cloacal supplements, short and blunt spicule with a central cuticularized strip and gubernaculum with a small dorso-caudal apophysis. The new species is similar to S. australis Leduc & Gwyther, 2008 in having relatively small body size, few cervical setae (2-5) per file and few precloacal supplements (7-9). However, the new species differs from S. australis by shorter spicule slightly arcuated with a short central cuticularized strip (spicules 30-31 µm vs 45-51 µm, L- shaped with a median hollow region) and shorter gubernacular apophysis (10 µm vs 20 µm). Dichotomous key and pictorial identification keys to all known species of Setosabatieria are provided.

description: Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R)-induced liver injury occurs in several pathophysiological disorders including hemorrhagic shock and burn as well as resectional and transplantation surgery. One of the earliest events associated with reperfusion of ischemic liver is endothelial dysfunction characterized by the decreased production of endothelial cell-derived nitric oxide (NO). This rapid post-ischemic decrease in NO bioavailability appears to be due to decreased synthesis of NO, enhanced inactivation of NO by the overproduction of superoxide or both. This review presents the most current evidence supporting the concept that decreased bioavailability of NO concomitant with enhanced production of reactive oxygen species initiates hepatocellular injury and that endogenous NO or exogenous NO produced from nitrite play important roles in limiting post-ischemic tissue injury.
