description: Prior results on the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels in the early trimester and the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) remain unclear. This study evaluated the association of maternal first-, second-, and third-trimester UA levels with the risk of SGA infants. A total of 23, 194 singleton mothers from the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital between January 2014 and January 2017 were included. Maternal UA levels were measured at 12.1 ± 1.08th (UA1) and 32.2 ± 1.03th (UA2) gestational weeks. △UA was calculated as the difference between UA2 and UA1. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were performed to evaluate the association between maternal UA and △UA during pregnancy and SGA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was employed to assess the serum uric acid prediction value. Women in the higher quartiles of UA1 had a significantly higher risk of SGA. A clear increased risk for SGA was observed with higher quartiles for UA2 (p for trend <0.05). An approximately “J-shaped” relationship was observed between UA2 and △UA, and the risk of SGA was observed. When compared with those with a lower level of UA in the first trimester, those with a higher level of UA1, the more increase in the later UA levels were associated with a higher risk of SGA [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.67, 95% CI:1.37–2.05]. The ROC curve areas were 0.525 for UA1, 0.582 for UA2 and 0.576 for △UA. The findings suggested that non-preeclamptic and non-hypertensive women who experienced early pregnancy with high UA levels had an elevated risk of SGA. Moreover, a high maternal UA level in the earlier trimester may be an early predictor of SGA.

description: Long-lived isotopes of plutonium were studied using two complementary techniques, high-resolution resonance ionisation spectroscopy (HR-RIS) and collinear laser spectroscopy (CLS). Isotope shifts have been measured on the $5f^67s^2\ ^7F_0 \rightarrow 5f^56d^27s\ (J=1)$ and $5f^67s^2\ ^7F_1 \rightarrow 5f^67s7p\ (J=2)$ atomic transitions using the HR-RIS method and the hyperfine factors have been extracted for the odd mass nuclei $^{239,241}$Pu. Collinear laser spectroscopy was performed on the $5f^67s\ ^8F_{1/2} \rightarrow J=1/2\; (27523.61\text{cm}^{-1})$ ionic transition with the hyperfine $A$ factors measured for $^{239}$Pu. Changes in mean-squared charge radii have been extracted and show a good agreement with previous non-optical methods, with an uncertainty improvement by approximately one order of magnitude. Plutonium represents the heaviest element studied to date using collinear laser spectroscopy.

description: Quantum key distribution provides secure keys with information-theoretic security ensured by the principle of quantum mechanics. The continuous-variable version of quantum key distribution using coherent states offers the advantages of its compatibility with telecom industry, e.g., using commercial laser and homodyne detector, is now going through a booming period. In this review article, we describe the principle of continuous-variable quantum key distribution system, focus on protocols based on coherent states, whose systems are gradually moving from proof-of-principle lab demonstrations to in-field implementations and technological prototypes. We start by reviewing the theoretical protocols and the current security status of these protocols. Then, we discuss the system structure, the key module, and the mainstream system implementations. The advanced progress for future applications are discussed, including the digital techniques, system on chip and point-to-multipoint system. Finally, we discuss the practical security of the system and conclude with promising perspectives in this research field.

description: To explore whether pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) mediates the association between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and adverse neonatal outcomes in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) for singleton pregnancies. This cohort study collected 79437 maternal data from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) between 2020 and 2021. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were applied to estimate the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and PIH in women receiving ART as well as the associations between pre-pregnancy BMI and PIH and adverse neonatal outcomes. The mediation effect of PIH on the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and adverse neonatal outcomes was estimated according to the total effect, natural direct effect, natural indirect effect, and percentage of mediation. There were 25769 participants had adverse neonatal outcomes at the end of the follow-up. After adjusting for confounding factors, an increased risk of PIH in women receiving ART was identified in those with pre-pregnancy BMI ≥25 kg/m2 [odds ratio (OR)=1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.84–2.01]. Pre-pregnancy BMI ≥25 kg/m2 was associated with an increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes (OR = 1.26, 95%CI:1.22–1.30). Women with PIH had an increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes (OR = 1.79, 95%CI:1.71–1.87). The percentage mediated by PIH in the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and adverse neonatal outcomes was 21.30%. PIH partially mediated the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and adverse neonatal outcomes in women receiving ART, which recommends that women control weight before receiving ART.

description: Introduction: To report a case of FEVR Case Presentation: 1-month old boy who was delivered term via spontaneous vertex delivery with a birth weight of 2.6kg. He has a strong family history of blindness. Therefore; he was scheduled for a formal eye assessment. Upon review; both eye blinks to light. Bilateral eye anterior segment unremarkable. The fundus examination of right eye showed fibro vascular proliferation at 8 to 10’ clock, retinal vascularization till zone 2 beyond which is an avascular zone 360 degrees with pre retinal haemorrhage at the superior arcade and straightening of the vessels at superior and inferior temporal arcade with dragging of fovea. Otherwise; retina is flat. The fundus examination of left eye showed retina vascularization till zone 2, beyond which is an avascular zone 360 degrees. There is no any fibro vascular proliferation and retina is flat. He was diagnosed as both eye FEVR with, Left eye is Stage 1 and Right eye Stage 3B. He was treated with laser pan retinal photocoagulation using laser indirect ophthalmoscopy. He was also given orbital floor dexamethasone and triamcinolone injection. Upon subsequent reviews; both eye vision is 6/600. Bilateral eye fundus showed only localised tractions and retina is flat with adequate laser of peripheral retina. Conclusion : FEVR is a rare inherited disorder with abnormal retinal angiogenesis and resultant incomplete vascularization of peripheral retina and ischemia which is vision threatening. It is important to identify and treat promptly as early treatment may render chance of vision preservation.

description: The quantum vortices formed as a result of barrier-suppression ionization of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom by an ultrashort laser pulse are theoretically investigated. Using an analytical expression for the wave function of a photoelectron in the momentum representation, the probability flux density is investigated. In this case, both the standard definition of a flux and an alternative one are used. The latter, due to the sensitivity to the phase of the wave function, makes it possible to identify quantum vortices in the momentum space.

description: Introduction: CLIPPERS syndrome was first described by in the year 2010 by Pittock et al when they studied 8 patients with a clinically distinct pontine-predominant encephalomyelitis which was given the name ‘chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids’ (CLIPPERS). It is defined by the combination of clinical, radiological, pathological criteria and response to steroids. Case Report/Description: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation of the pons with perivascular enhancement responsive to steroid (CLIPPERS) is a rare and increasingly identifiable disease. Although the pathogenesis is still unknown, majority of patients were treated based on clinical features, radiological findings and after exclusion of other differential diagnosis. We present an 8 years old patient who presented with diplopia, blurred vision and ataxia for 1 week. He was initially treated as meningitis in which antiviral and antibiotics were endorsed resulting in no response to treatment. MRI showed typical punctuate and linear gadolinium enhancement mainly involving the pons on MRI which resorted to the diagnosis of CLIPPERS syndrome. Steroid treatment was initiated and symptoms rapidly improved with the patient being able to carry out normal daily activity upon day 5 of steroid treatment. Discussion/Conclusion: MRI should be considered when the diagnosis of CLIPPERS syndrome is taken into consideration as imaging findings are typical. Diagnosis is crucial as prompt treatment with steroids has good clinical outcome, whereas delay in treatment may cause further irreversible neurological deterioration. To the best of our knowledge this is the youngest patient yet to be diagnosed with CLIPPERS syndrome.

description: Evidence suggests that research benefits from diversity, yet science is concentrated to a small group of countries. Diversity in physical therapy research has so far not been studied thoroughly, and this is the first study to map physical therapy research geographically. The objective was to study the frequency and methodological quality of physical therapy-related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across the world. PEDro was searched for RCTs in physical therapy published between January 1 2015 and December 5 2016. For each trial, the first and last authors’ affiliations and the PEDro scale were extracted. Using the first and last authors’ affiliations, each article was geocoded using the Data Science Toolkit API. The search located 2,959 RCTs, which were affiliated primarily with a small cluster of countries. The median PEDro score for all trials was 5 (IQR 4:7). The geographical spread of the RCTs was focused around Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Oceania, the United States, and parts of South America. The lack of diversity might be problematic for the research field, even though the average clinical trial in physical therapy is of fair quality.

description: Neonatal leukemoid reaction is associated with higher risk of mortality, chronic lung disease and has been associated with chorioamnionitis. Literature on extremely low birth weight infants with leukemoid reaction is limited. The aim of our study was to characterize the maternal and placental factors associated with neonatal leukemoid reaction and to describe outcomes of these ELBW infants. Our objective was to assess if there were maternal factors that would assist the decision-making process regarding the delivery of preterm infants at risk of chorioamnionitis and the sequelae of this inflammatory process. This was a retrospective case-control study performed in a single, tertiary Maternity Hospital in Dublin. Two matched controls were identified for each case based on gestation and year of birth and data was collected on both the infants and their mothers. 7 extremely preterm neonates were identified as having a leukemoid reaction, defined as a total white cell count of >50,000 or in the first seven days of life. Baseline characteristics between the groups were similar. The median gestational age in the cases group was 24 + 4 weeks and in the control group was 24 + 1. The mean birthweight was 650 g in the cases group vs. 655 g in the control group. There was a higher percentage of males in the control group, 42.9% vs 28.6% in the cases. The preterm infants with leukemoid reaction had a longer duration of ventilation with a median of 18 days (7.5–23.5 days) compared to 6.5 days (2.8–24.5 days) in the control group. More infants in the leukemoid reaction group required inotropes for hypotension in the first 72 h after delivery (42.9% vs 7.1% in the controls, p value .169). Death or Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) occurred in 85.7% of the cases identified with a leukemoid reaction vs 71.4% of the controls matched. Median maternal CRP was higher in cases prior to delivery vs the controls (66 vs 18.1 mg/L, p-value = .2151). There was histological evidence of maternal inflammatory response in all cases with fetal inflammatory response in 71% of cases. Leukemoid reaction in ELBW infants with evidence of maternal and fetal inflammatory response syndrome on placental histology is associated with a longer duration of initial ventilation, increased need for inotropes in the first 72 h after birth, higher rates of death, and BPD. Prospective studies are required to identify potential biomarkers such as proinflammatory cytokines, IL-6, which might aid the decision-making process in delivery.
A distinct magnetic property of the inner penumbral boundary. II. Formation of a penumbra at the expense of a pore

description: We recently presented evidence that stable umbra-penumbra boundaries are characterised by a distinct canonical value of the vertical component of the magnetic field, $B^{\rm stable}_{\rm ver}$. In order to trigger the formation of a penumbra, large inclinations in the magnetic field are necessary. In sunspots, the penumbra develops and establishes by colonising both umbral areas and granulation, that is, penumbral magneto-convection takes over in umbral regions with $B_{\rm ver} < B^{\rm stable}_{\rm ver}$, as well as in granular convective areas. Eventually, a stable umbra-penumbra boundary settles at $B^{\rm stable}_{\rm ver}$. Here, we aim to study the development of a penumbra initiated at the boundary of a pore, where the penumbra colonises the entire pore ultimately. We have used Hinode/SOT G-band images to study the evolution of the penumbra. Hinode/SOT spectropolarimetric data were used to infer the magnetic field properties in the studied region. The penumbra forms at the boundary of a pore located close to the polarity inversion line of NOAA\,10960. As the penumbral bright grains protrude into the pore, the magnetic flux in the forming penumbra increases at the expense of the pore magnetic flux. Consequently, the pore disappears completely giving rise to an orphan penumbra. At all times, the vertical component of the magnetic field in the pore is smaller than $B^{\rm stable}_{\rm ver} \approx 1.8$~kG. Our findings are in an agreement with the need of $B^{\rm stable}_{\rm ver}$ for establishing a stable umbra-penumbra boundary: while $B_{\rm ver}$ in the pore is smaller than $B^{\rm stable}_{\rm ver}$, the protrusion of penumbral grains into the pore area is not blocked, a stable pore-penumbra boundary does not establish, and the pore is fully overtaken by the penumbral magneto-convective mode. This scenario could also be one of the mechanisms giving rise to orphan penumbrae.

description: Maternal glycemia is associated with the risk of cesarean delivery (CD); therefore, our study aims to developed a prediction model based on glucose indicators in the second trimester to earlier identify the risk of CD. This was a nested case-control study, and data were collected from the 5th Central Hospital of Tianjin (training set) and Changzhou Second People’s Hospital (testing set) from 2020 to 2021. Variables with significant difference in training set were incorporated to develop the random forest model. Model performance was assessed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) and Komogorov-Smirnoff (KS), as well as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). A total of 504 eligible women were enrolled; of these, 169 underwent CD. Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), first pregnancy, history of full-term birth, history of livebirth, 1 h plasma glucose (1hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and 2 h plasma glucose (2hPG) were used to develop the model. The model showed a good performance, with an AUC of 0.852 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.809–0.895]. The pre-pregnancy BMI, 1hPG, 2hPG, HbA1c, and FPG were identifies as the more significant predictors. External validation confirmed the good performance of our model, with an AUC of 0.734 (95%CI: 0.664–0.804). Our model based on glucose indicators in the second trimester performed well to predict the risk of CD, which may reach the earlier identification of CD risk and may be beneficial to make interventions in time to decrease the risk of CD.

description: This study devised a physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework to solve the wave equation for acoustic resonance analysis. The proposed analytical model, ResoNet, minimizes the loss function for periodic solutions and conventional PINN loss functions, thereby effectively using the function approximation capability of neural networks while performing resonance analysis. Additionally, it can be easily applied to inverse problems. The resonance in a one-dimensional acoustic tube, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through the forward and inverse analyses of the wave equation with energy-loss terms. In the forward analysis, the applicability of PINN to the resonance problem was evaluated via comparison with the finite-difference method. The inverse analysis, which included identifying the energy loss term in the wave equation and design optimization of the acoustic tube, was performed with good accuracy.

description: Tests capable of accurate prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) are crucial to inform clinical decisions to prevent neonatal deaths and reduce the risk of morbidity in surviving infants. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were performed to assess the utility of the quantitative fetal fibronectin (fFN) test to predict sPTB at different test concentration thresholds. Literature searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library in May 2022. Observational studies and clinical trials investigating the clinical utility of the quantitative fFN test in asymptomatic pregnancies prior to 37 weeks of gestation were eligible for inclusion. Meta-analysis quantified the risk of sPTB prior to four gestational age milestones (<28, <30, <34 and <37 weeks) based on quantitative fFN levels. No risk of bias assessment was performed however, clinical and methodological heterogeneity was explored to determine the feasibility of performing analyses. 11 studies showed a quantitative assessment of fFN can differentiate between very high and very low risks of sPTB in asymptomatic pregnancies with <10% of women with very low fFN (<10 ng/mL) versus 37–67% of women with very high fFN (>200 ng/mL) delivering before 34 weeks. A meta-analysis of two studies showed, albeit with a low number of events, the odds of sPTB prior to 28 weeks was nine times higher in women testing positive at ≥50 ng/mL, whereas the odds of sPTB was 25 times higher in women with fFN concentrations >200 ng/mL (versus <50 ng/mL reference). Similarly, pooling three studies showed the odds of sPTB prior to 37 weeks was four times higher in women who tested positive at ≥50 ng/ml whereas the odds of delivery before 37 weeks was seven times higher for women with fFN concentrations ≥200 ng/ml (versus <50 ng/mL reference). Quantitative fFN testing demonstrates increased predictive capabilities and utility of fFN testing in clinical practice, potentially preventing unnecessary intervention for women at very low risk and allowing an opportunity to optimize the management of asymptomatic patients at high risk of preterm delivery.

description: Explainable AI (XAI) is concerned with how to make AI models more understandable to people. To date these explanations have predominantly been technocentric - mechanistic or productivity oriented. This paper introduces the Explainable AI for the Arts (XAIxArts) manifesto to provoke new ways of thinking about explainability and AI beyond technocentric discourses. Manifestos offer a means to communicate ideas, amplify unheard voices, and foster reflection on practice. To supports the co-creation and revision of the XAIxArts manifesto we combine a World Café style discussion format with a living manifesto to question four core themes: 1) Empowerment, Inclusion, and Fairness; 2) Valuing Artistic Practice; 3) Hacking and Glitches; and 4) Openness. Through our interactive living manifesto experience we invite participants to actively engage in shaping this XIAxArts vision within the CHI community and beyond.

description: The square Bi layers in $A$MnBi$_2$ ($A =$ Sr, Ca) host Dirac fermions which coexist with antiferromagnetic order on the Mn sublattice below $T_\mathrm{N} = 290\,$K (Sr) and $270\,$K (Ca). We have measured the spin-wave dispersion in these materials by triple-axis neutron spectroscopy. The spectra show pronounced spin gaps of 10.2(2)$\,$meV (Sr) and 8.3(8)$\,$meV (Ca) and extend to a maximum energy transfer of 61 - 63$\,$meV. The observed spectra can be accurately reproduced by linear spin-wave theory from an Heisenberg effective spin Hamiltonian. Detailed global fits of the full magnon dispersion are used to determine the in-plane and inter-layer exchange parameters as well as on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant. To within experimental error we find no evidence that the magnetic dynamics are influenced by the Dirac fermions.

description: Near-Earth space continues to be the focus of critical services and capabilities provided to the society. With the steady increase of space traffic, the number of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) has recently boomed in the context of growing concern due to space debris. The need of a holistic and unified approach for addressing orbital collisions, assess the global in-orbit risk, and define sustainable practices for space traffic management has emerged as a major societal challenge. Here, we introduce and discuss a versatile framework rooted on the use of the complex network paradigm to introduce a novel risk index for space sustainability criteria. With an entirely data-driven, but flexible, formulation, we introduce the Resident Space Object Network (RSONet) by connecting RSOs that experience near-collisions events over a finite-time window. The structural collisional properties of RSOs are thus encoded into the RSONet and analysed with the tools of network science. We formulate a geometrical index highlighting the key role of specific RSOs in building up the risk of collisions with respect to the rest of the population. Practical applications based on Two-Line Elements and Conjunction Data Message databases are presented.

description: In this paper we endeavour to determine the energy levels of an atom by virtue of the modified Dirac equation. It has been found that the energy levels contain an extra term in the expression which accounts for the {\it zitterbewegung} effects in the Compton scale. Applying our perspective to the hydrogen atom we have been able to find the {\it Lamb shift} for the $2S_{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $2P_{\frac{1}{2}}$ states. This result substantiates that a slight modification of the Dirac equation suffices to explain the phenomenon, where the modification of the Dirac equation arises due to the non-commutative nature of space-time. Besides, several other unexplained phenomena can emerge as a natural consequence of this modification

description: Increases in the deployment of machine learning algorithms for applications that deal with sensitive data have brought attention to the issue of fairness in machine learning. Many works have been devoted to applications that require different demographic groups to be treated fairly. However, algorithms that aim to satisfy inter-group fairness (also called group fairness) may inadvertently treat individuals within the same demographic group unfairly. To address this issue, we introduce a formal definition of within-group fairness that maintains fairness among individuals from within the same group. We propose a pre-processing framework to meet both inter- and within-group fairness criteria with little compromise in accuracy. The framework maps the feature vectors of members from different groups to an inter-group-fair canonical domain before feeding them into a scoring function. The mapping is constructed to preserve the relative relationship between the scores obtained from the unprocessed feature vectors of individuals from the same demographic group, guaranteeing within-group fairness. We apply this framework to the COMPAS risk assessment and Law School datasets and compare its performance in achieving inter-group and within-group fairness to two regularization-based methods.

description: As location-based services (LBS) have grown in popularity, more human mobility data has been collected. The collected data can be used to build machine learning (ML) models for LBS to enhance their performance and improve overall experience for users. However, the convenience comes with the risk of privacy leakage since this type of data might contain sensitive information related to user identities, such as home/work locations. Prior work focuses on protecting mobility data privacy during transmission or prior to release, lacking the privacy risk evaluation of mobility data-based ML models. To better understand and quantify the privacy leakage in mobility data-based ML models, we design a privacy attack suite containing data extraction and membership inference attacks tailored for point-of-interest (POI) recommendation models, one of the most widely used mobility data-based ML models. These attacks in our attack suite assume different adversary knowledge and aim to extract different types of sensitive information from mobility data, providing a holistic privacy risk assessment for POI recommendation models. Our experimental evaluation using two real-world mobility datasets demonstrates that current POI recommendation models are vulnerable to our attacks. We also present unique findings to understand what types of mobility data are more susceptible to privacy attacks. Finally, we evaluate defenses against these attacks and highlight future directions and challenges. Our attack suite is released at https://github.com/KunlinChoi/POIPrivacy.

description: Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of subcutaneous tocilizumab (TCZ-SC) in a real-world clinical setting in Japan. Methods: This single arm, 26-week prospective observational study enrolled patients with RA who were either TCZ naïve or switched from TCZ-IV to TCZ-SC (TCZ-IV-SC group) (UMIN Clinical Trials Registry UMIN000011102). All patients received TCZ-SC 162 mg every 2 weeks and data were collected until week 26 or discontinuation. Results: Overall 784 (78.1%) were TCZ naïve and 219 (21.8%) were in the TCZ-IV-SC group. 70.9% received disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs at baseline. Adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs occurred in 28.2% and 4.9% of patients, respectively (TCZ-naïve: 29.5% and 5.2%; TCZ-IV-SC: 23.2% and 4.1%). Infections and infestations were the most common AEs (7.4%) and serious AEs (1.7%). Two TCZ-naïve patients died. TCZ-naïve patients had an improvement in median Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score and mean Disease Activity Score in 28 joints as measured by erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) from baseline to week 26. The TCZ-IV-SC group had similar median CDAI scores and mean DAS28-ESR over 26 weeks. Conclusions: There were no unexpected safety signals with TCZ-SC. TCZ-SC was effective in reducing disease activity in TCZ-naïve patients and maintaining remission in TCZ-IV-SC patients.

description: Toxic potencies of xenobiotics such as halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons inducing 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin/2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDD/TCDF)-like effects were investigated by quantitative structure–toxicity relationships (QSTR) using their aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) binding affinity data. A descriptor pool was created using the SPARTAN 10, DRAGON 6.0 and ADMET 8.0 software packages, and the descriptors were selected using QSARINS (v.2.2.1) software. The QSTR models generated for AhR binding affinities of chemicals with TCDD/TCDF-like effects were internally and externally validated in line with the Organization of Economic Co–operation and Development (OECD) principles. The TCDD-based model had six descriptors from DRAGON 6.0 and ADMET 8.0, whereas the TCDF-based model had seven descriptors from DRAGON 6.0. The predictive ability of the generated models was tested on a diverse group of chemicals including polychlorinated/brominated biphenyls, dioxins/furans, ethers, polyaromatic hydrocarbons with fused heterocyclic rings (i.e. phenoxathiins, thianthrenes and dibenzothiophenes) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (i.e. halogenated naphthalenes and phenanthrenes) with no AhR binding data. For the external set chemicals, the structural coverage of the generated models was 90% and 89% for TCDD and TCDF-like effects, respectively.
Schwinger mechanism of magnon-antimagnon pair production on magnetic field inhomogeneities and the bosonic Klein effect

description: Effective field theory of low-energy exitations-magnons that describes antiferromagnets is mapped into scalar electrodynamics of a charged scalar field interacting with an external electromagnetic potential. In the presence of a constant inhomogeneous external magnetic field the latter problem is technically reduced to the problem of charged-particle creation from the vacuum by an electric potential step (x step). Magnetic moment plays here the role of the electric charge, and magnons and antimagnons differ from each other in the sign of the magnetic moment. In the framework of such a consideration, it is important to take into account the vacuum instability (the Schwinger effect) under the magnon-antimagnon production on magnetic field inhomogeneities (an analog of pair creation from the vacuum by electric-like fields). We demonstrate how to use the strong field QED with x steps developed by the authors (SPG and DMG) to study the magnon-antimagnon pair production on magnetic field inhomogeneities. Characteristics of the vacuum instability obtained for some magnetic steps that allows exact solving the Klein-Gordon equation are presented. In particular, we consider examples of magnetic steps with very sharp field derivatives that correspond to a regularization of the Klein step. In the case of smooth-gradient steps, we describe an universal behavior of the flux density of created magnon pairs. We also note that since the low-energy magnons are bosons with small effective mass, then for the first time maybe the opportunity will arise to observe the Schwinger effect in the case of the Bose statistics, in particular, the bosonic Klein effect in laboratory conditions. Moreover, it turns out that in the case of the Bose statistics appears a new mechanism for amplifying the effect of the pair creation, which we call statistically assisted Schwinger effect.

description: The present work was designed to compare the vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AsA) content of pulp, peel, and juice of 64 apple cultivars. These cultivars were carefully identified as ‘true to type’ by molecular genetic tools, grown in the same site under identical conditions and processed by a standardized protocol. Twenty-one of them, accounting for more than 95% of the apple production of South Tyrol, were chosen to represent the current market, 16 were old or local cultivars formerly grown in the area, and 27 were new cultivars, including 15 with scab resistance and 12 with red flesh fruit. For the determination of the AsA content, a new High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode-Array Detection method was developed and validated. While old cultivars stood out for their high AsA content in pulp and peel, the red-fleshed cultivars are the ones maintaining most of their AsA content during processing. Our data thus suggest a potential for old and red-fleshed cultivars for healthy juices or further processed food components.
