description: The richness of the data set, collected by the INDRA collaboration during the last twenty years, enabled us to build a set of caloric curves for nuclei of various sizes, by using, for the first time, a single experimental set-up and a single experimental protocol. We will therefore present the different caloric curves ($E^{\ast}-T$) obtained by a new calorimetry, for Quasi-Projectiles produced by symmetric or quasi symmetric reactions at different incident energies (Au+Au, Xe+Sn, Ni+Ni). For all these systems, a clear change of the de-excitation process of hot nuclei is observed but this one is neither a plateau nor a back-bending, but a sudden change of slope.

description: Based on published data, we have produced a sample of planetary nebulae (PNe) that is complete within 2 kpc of the Sun. We have estimated the total number of PNe in the Galaxy from this sample to be 17000+/-3000 and determined the vertical scale height of the thin disk based on an exponential density distribution to be 197+/-10 pc. The next sample includes PNe from the Stanghellini-Haywood catalog with minor additions. For this purpose, we have used about 200 PNe with Peimbert's types I, II, and III. In this case, we have obtained a considerably higher value of the vertical scale height that increases noticeably with sample radius. We have experimentally found that it is necessary to reduce the distance scale of this catalog approximately by 20%. Then, for example, for PNe with heliocentric distances less than 4 kpc the vertical scale height is 256+/-12 kpc. A kinematic analysis has confirmed the necessity of such a reduction of the distance scale.

description: Elaeocarpus duclouxii, an evergreen tree species, is renowned for its fruits rich in flavonoids exhibiting potent antioxidant properties. Despite its significance, the chloroplast genome of this plant has remained unexplored until now. Our study presents the first comprehensive sequencing and analysis of the E. duclouxii chloroplast genome, revealing a circular DNA molecule of 158,148 base pairs. This genome comprises a large single-copy region of 85,700 base pairs, a small single-copy region of 17,672 base pairs, and a pair of inverted repeat regions totaling 27,388 base pairs. The genome encodes 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses indicate a close evolutionary relationship between E. duclouxii and E. sylvestris. This study not only represents the first phylogenetic investigation of E. duclouxii but also establishes a crucial genomic foundation for future research area such as conservation genetics, evolutionary biology, and potential biotechnological applications.

description: Seasonal influenza may result in severe outcomes, resulting in a significant increase of hospitalizations during the winter. To improve the protection provided by the standard dose influenza quadrivalent vaccine (SDQIV), a high-dose vaccine (HDQIV) has been developed specifically for adults aged 60 and older who are at higher risk of life-threatening complications, The aim of this study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of HD QIV vs. SD-QIV in the recommended population of three European countries: Belgium, Finland and Portugal. A cost-utility analysis comparing HDQIV vs. SDQIV was conducted using a decision tree estimating health outcomes conditional on influenza: cases, general practitioner and emergency department visits, hospitalizations and deaths. To account for the full benefit of the vaccine, an additional outcome—hospitalizations attributable to influenza—was also evaluated. Demographic, epidemiological and economic inputs were based on the respective local data. HDQIV relative vaccine efficacy vs. SDQIV was obtained from a phase IV efficacy randomized clinical trial. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) were computed for each country, and a probabilistic sensitivity analysis (1,000 simulations per country) was performed to assess the robustness of the results. In the base case analysis, HDQIV resulted in improved health outcomes (visits, hospitalizations, and deaths) compared to SDQIV. The ICERs computed were 1,397, 9,581, and 15,267 €/QALY, whereas the PSA yielded 100, 100, and 84% of simulations being cost-effective at their respective willingness-to-pay thresholds, for Belgium, Finland, and Portugal, respectively. In three European countries with different healthcare systems, HD-QIV would contribute to a significant improvement in the prevention of influenza health outcomes while being cost-effective.

description: We have investigated morphology of the lateral surfaces of PbTe crystal samples grown from melt by the Bridgman method sputtered by Ar+ plasma with ion energy of 50-550 eV for 5-50 minutes under Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometry (SNMS) conditions. The sputtered PbTe crystal surface was found to be simultaneously both the source of sputtered material and the efficient substrate for re-deposition of the sputtered material during the depth profiling. During sputtering PbTe crystal surface is forming the dimple relief. To be redeposited the sputtered Pb and Te form arrays of the microscopic surface structures in the shapes of hillocks, pyramids, cones and others on the PbTe crystal sputtered surface. Correlation between the density of re-deposited microscopic surface structures, their shape, and average size, on the one hand, and the energy and duration of sputtering, on the other, is revealed.

description: For patients with cartilage defects of the knee, a new biocompatible and in situ cross-linkable albumin-hyaluronan-based hydrogel has been developed for matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI) – NOVOCART® Inject plus (NInject)1. We aimed to estimate the potential cost-effectiveness of NInject, that is not available on the market, yet compared to spheroids of human autologous matrix-associated chondrocytes (Spherox®)2 and microfracture. An early Markov model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness in the United Kingdom (UK) from the payer perspective. Transition probabilities, response rates, utility values and costs were derived from literature. Since NInject has not yet been launched and no prices are available, its costs were assumed equal to those of Spherox®. Cycle length was set at one year and the time horizon chosen was notional patients’ remaining lifetime. Model robustness was evaluated with deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (DSA; PSA) and value of information (VOI) analysis. The Markov model was built using TreeAge Pro Healthcare. NInject was cost-effective compared to microfracture (ICER: ₤5,147) while Spherox® was extendedly dominated. In sensitivity analyses, the ICER exceeded conventional WTP threshold of ₤20,000 only when the utility value after successful first treatment with NInject was decreased by 20% (ICER: ₤69,620). PSA corroborated the cost-effectiveness findings of NInject, compared to both alternatives, with probabilities of 60% of NInject undercutting the aforementioned WTP threshold and being the most cost-effective alternative. The VOIA revealed that obtaining additional evidence on the new technology will likely not be cost-effective for the UK National Health Service. This early Markov model showed that NInject is cost-effective for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee, compared to Spherox and microfracture. However, as the final price of NInject has yet to be determined, the cost-effectiveness analysis performed in this study is provisional, assuming equal prices for NInject and Spherox.

description: Recently, an open geometry Fourier modal method based on a new combination of an open boundary condition and a non-uniform $k$-space discretization was introduced for rotationally symmetric structures providing a more efficient approach for modeling nanowires and micropillar cavities [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 33, 1298 (2016)]. Here, we generalize the approach to three-dimensional (3D) Cartesian coordinates allowing for the modeling of rectangular geometries in open space. The open boundary condition is a consequence of having an infinite computational domain described using basis functions that expand the whole space. The strength of the method lies in discretizing the Fourier integrals using a non-uniform circular "dartboard" sampling of the Fourier $k$ space. We show that our sampling technique leads to a more accurate description of the continuum of the radiation modes that leak out from the structure. We also compare our approach to conventional discretization with direct and inverse factorization rules commonly used in established Fourier modal methods. We apply our method to a variety of optical waveguide structures and demonstrate that the method leads to a significantly improved convergence enabling more accurate and efficient modeling of open 3D nanophotonic structures.

description: Scientific curiosity, exploration of georesources and environmental concerns are pushing the geoscientific research community toward subsurface investigations of ever-increasing complexity. This review explores various approaches to formulate and solve inverse problems in ways that effectively integrate geological concepts with geophysical and hydrogeological data. Modern geostatistical simulation algorithms can produce multiple subsurface realizations that are in agreement with conceptual geological models and statistical rock physics can be used to map these realizations into physical properties that are sensed by the geophysical or hydrogeological data. The inverse problem consists of finding one or an ensemble of such subsurface realizations that are in agreement with the data. The most general inversion frameworks are presently often computationally intractable when applied to large-scale problems and it is necessary to better understand the implications of simplifying (1) the conceptual geological model (e.g., using model compression); (2) the physical forward problem (e.g., using proxy models); and (3) the algorithm used to solve the inverse problem (e.g., Markov chain Monte Carlo or local optimization methods) to reach practical and robust solutions given today's computer resources and knowledge. We also highlight the need to not only use geophysical and hydrogeological data for parameter estimation purposes, but also to use them to falsify or corroborate alternative geological scenarios.

description: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is one of the most common complications following cardiac surgery. POAF is associated with increased hospitalization costs, but its long-term economic burden is not well defined. To assess 30-day and 1-year incremental healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs associated with POAF in the United States (US). This retrospective cohort study used claims data from the IBM Watson MarketScan database. A cohort of US adults aged 55--90 years who underwent open-heart surgery between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018 was used to compare patients who experienced POAF versus patients who did not (controls). The outcomes of interest were incremental HRU and costs, which were assessed during the index hospitalization and 30-day and 1-year postdischarge time periods. Inverse probability weighting was used to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics. A total of 8,020 patients met the study inclusion criteria with 5,765 patients in the control cohort (mean age, 63.4 years) and 2,255 patients in the POAF cohort (mean age, 65.8 years). After adjustment, patients with POAF had an index hospitalization that was 1.9 days longer (99% CI, 1.3-2.4 days; p < 0.001) and cost $13,919 more (99% CI, $2,828-$25,011; p < 0.001) than for patients without POAF. POAF patients also had significantly higher HRU at 30 days and 1-year postdischarge with incremental costs of $4,649 (99% CI, $1,479-$7,819; p < 0.001) and $10,671 (99% CI, $2,407-$18,935; p < 0.001), respectively. POAF following open-heart surgery poses a significant economic burden up to 1 year postdischarge.

description: Liparis gigantea is a Chinese traditional medicinal herb in the Orchidaceae family. It is a rare and special Liparis species that exhibits relatively large flowers. To illuminate its phylogenetic status and augment genomic resources, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. gigantea was first sequenced and assembled using whole genome next-generation sequencing in this study. The cp genome size is 158,462 bp with a total GC content of 36.9%. Characterized by a quadripartite structure, the genome consists of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,032 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,322 bp, which is separated by a pair of 27,054 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). A total of 133 genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported L. gigantea as the sister to two closely related terrestrial species, Liparis nervosa and L. vivipara. The results of this study provide genomic information for future research and application of this medicinal herb.

description: To generate utility decrements for three attributes associated with catheterization for individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI): the process of catheterization, the physical impact of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and worry associated with hospitalization. Health state vignettes comprising various levels of the three attributes were developed. Two cohorts of respondents, corresponding to people with SCIs and a sample broadly representative of the UK population, were presented with nine vignettes (three vignettes for the mild, moderate and severe health states in addition to a random set of six vignettes). It was assumed no or a nominal decrement was associated with the mild health state. Utility decrements were derived from analysing the data obtained from the online time trade-off (TTO). A proportion of the SCI cohort (n = 57) also completed the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Utility decrements were generated using statistical models for the general population (n = 358), the SCI population (n = 48) and the two populations combined (merged model, n = 406). Results from the two cohorts showed minimal differences. For the merged model, SCI status was not statistically significant. All interaction terms, excluding SCI and the severe level of the physical attribute, were not statistically significant. Compared to the mild level, the greatest utility decrement calculated was the severe level of the emotional (worry) attribute (0.09, p < .001) for the SCI population. A significant decrement of 0.02 (p < .001) was calculated for the moderate level of the emotional attribute for all models. The mean utility score for those with SCI having completed the EQ-5D-5L was 0.371. Modest sample size of respondents from the SCI population (n = 48). Worry associated with hospitalization had the greatest impact on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The catheterization process, such as the lubrication and repositioning of the catheter, also impacted on patients’ HRQoL.

description: We theoretically analyze antibunching of the phonon field in an optomechanical oscillator employ- ing the membrane-in-the-middle geometry. More specifically, a single-mode mechanical oscillator is quadratically coupled to a single-mode cavity field in the regime in which the cavity dissipation is a dominant source of damping, and adiabatic elimination of the cavity field leads to an effective cubic nonlinearity for the mechanics. We show analytically in the weak coupling regime that the mechan- ics displays a chaotic phonon field for small optomechanical cooperativity, whereas an antibunched single-phonon field appears for large optomechanical cooperativity. This opens the door to control of the second-order correlation function of a mechanical oscillator in the weak coupling regime.

description: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the closest star forming galaxy with low metallicity, provides an ideal laboratory to study star formation in such an environment. The classical dense molecular gas thermometer NH3 is rarely available in a low metallicity environment because of photoionization and a lack of nitrogen atoms. Our goal is to directly measure the gas kinetic temperature with formaldehyde toward six star-forming regions in the LMC. Three rotational transitions of para-H2CO near 218 GHz were observed with the APEX 12m telescope toward six star forming regions in the LMC. Those data are complemented by C18O 2-1 spectra. Using non-LTE modeling with RADEX, we derive the gas kinetic temperature and spatial density, using as constraints the measured para-H2CO 321-220/303-202 and para-H2CO 303-202/C18O 2-1 ratios. Excluding the quiescent cloud N159S, where only one para-H2CO line could be detected, the gas kinetic temperatures derived from the preferred para-H2CO 321-220/303-202 line ratios range from 35 to 63 K with an average of 47 K. Spatial densities of the gas derived from the paraH2CO 303-202/C18O 2-1 line ratios yield 0.4-2.9x10^5 cm^-3 with an average of 1.5x10^5 cm^-3. Temperatures derived from the para-H2CO line ratio are similar to those obtained with the same method from Galactic star forming regions and agree with results derived from CO in the dense regions of the LMC. A comparison of kinetic temperatures derived from para-H2CO with those from the dust also shows good agreement. This suggests that the dust and para-H2CO are well mixed in the studied star forming regions. A correlation between the gas kinetic temperatures derived from para-H2CO and infrared luminosity, represented by the 250um flux, suggests that the kinetic temperatures traced by para-H2CO are correlated with the ongoing massive star formation in the LMC.

description: In this paper we deal with the following question: is it true that any bounded smooth pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ whose boundary contains a $q$-dimensional complex manifold $M$ necessarily has a noncompact $\overline\partial$-Neumann operator $N_q$ ($1\leq q\leq n-1$)? We prove that a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain $Ω\subseteq\mathbb{C}^3$ with a one-dimensional complex manifold $M$ in its boundary has a noncompact Neumann operator on $(0,1)$-forms, under the additional assumption that $bΩ$ has finite regular D'Angelo $2$-type at a point of $M$, improving previous results of Fu, Şahutoğlu, and Straube.

description: Abstract

Higher education institutions (HEIs) now implement Lean management through the adoption of the Toyota Production System methods to enhance operational efficiency and eliminate waste, and create better value for stakeholders. Academic institutions face many complicated barriers during their transition to lean implementation, which obstruct the complete deployment of lean practices. The research evaluates different barriers preventing the adoption of lean management in higher education through examination of structural and cultural, and strategic challenges. The main obstacle stems from academic employees expressing cultural resistance to lean methods because they interpret these approaches as conflicting with academic freedom and teaching principles (Balzer, 2010). Administrative personnel, along with faculty members, usually consider lean tools as managerial commands input by upper management, which elicits limited cooperation. Many universities with decentralized governance face obstacles to unified lean principle implementation because their departmental variations create disconnected or limited deployments (Emiliani, 2004). The main barrier exists due to the mismatch between lean strategies and institutional organizational objectives. Higher education institutions prioritize innovation and critical inquiry, and student development over organizational efficiency despite the fact that lean management systems push for standard processes and measurement control (Radnor & Bucci, 2011). HEIs commonly struggle to maintain lean initiatives since they underestimate the importance of necessary training and long-term strategy development, and leadership support for lean transformations (Antony, 2014). Educational outcome assessment becomes complex because there are no valid metrics established specifically for measuring lean intervention effectiveness. Achieving benefits from lean management in higher education institutions requires contextual adaptation together with whole-systems change management to address sector-specific challenges.

description: To generate utility decrements for three attributes associated with catheterisation for individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI): the process of catheterisation, the physical impact of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and worry associated with hospitalisation. Health state vignettes comprising various levels of the three attributes were developed. Two cohorts of respondents, corresponding to people with SCIs and a sample broadly representative of the UK population, were presented with nine vignettes (three vignettes for the mild, moderate and severe health states in addition to a random set of six vignettes). It was assumed no or a nominal decrement was associated with the mild health state. Utility decrements were derived from analysing the data obtained from the online time trade-off (TTO). A proportion of the SCI cohort (n = 57) also completed the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Utility decrements were generated using statistical models for the general population (n = 358), the SCI population (n = 48) and the two populations combined (merged model, n = 406). Results from the two cohorts showed minimal differences. For the merged model, SCI status was not statistically significant. All interaction terms, excluding SCI and the severe level of the physical attribute, were not statistically significant. Compared to the mild level, the greatest utility decrement calculated was the severe level of the emotional (worry) attribute (0.09, p < 0.001) for the SCI population. A significant decrement of 0.02 (p <0.001) was calculated for the moderate level of the emotional attribute for all models. The mean utility score for those with SCI having completed the EQ-5D-5L was 0.371. Modest sample size of respondents from the SCI population (n = 48). Worry associated with hospitalisation had the greatest impact on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The catheterisation process, such as the lubrication and repositioning of the catheter, also impacted on patients’ HRQoL.

description: In this paper, the production decisions across multiple energy suppliers in smart grid, powering cellular networks are investigated. The suppliers are characterized by different offered prices and pollutant emissions levels. The challenge is to decide the amount of energy provided by each supplier to each of the operators such that their profitability is maximized while respecting the maximum tolerated level of CO2 emissions. The cellular operators are characterized by their offered quality of service (QoS) to the subscribers and the number of users that determines their energy requirements. Stochastic geometry is used to determine the average power needed to achieve the target probability of coverage for each operator. The total average power requirements of all networks are fed to an optimization framework to find the optimal amount of energy to be provided from each supplier to the operators. The generalized $α$-fair utility function is used to avoid production bias among the suppliers based on profitability of generation. Results illustrate the production behavior of the energy suppliers versus QoS level, cost of energy, capacity of generation, and level of fairness.

description: Rare-earth-doped optical materials are important for light sources in optoelectronics, as well as for efficient optical amplification elements and other elements of photonics. On the basis of the previously developed method of anhydrous, low-temperature synthesis of Er/Yb oxides from their chlorides we fabricated proper nanoparticles with defined parameters and used them for the development of optically transparent, luminescent polymer nanocomposite with low optical scattering, suitable for direct, light-induced formation of photonic elements. Introduction of preformed gold nanoparticles in such a nanocomposite was also performed and an enhancement of luminescence due to the influence of plasmon effects was detected.

description: The oxidation state of titanium in titanium dioxide is commonly assumed to be +4. This assumption is used ubiquitously to rationalize phenomena observed with TiO2. We present a comprehensive electronic structure investigation of Ti ions, TiO2 molecules and TiO2 bulk crystals, using different density functional theory and wave function-based approaches, which suggests a lower oxidation state (+3). Specifically, there is evidence of a significant remaining contribution from valence s and d electrons of Ti, including the presence of a nuclear cusp around the Ti core. The charge corresponding to valence s and d states of Ti amounts to 1 e. The commonly assumed picture may therefore have to be revised.

description: Quantum spin liquids have fascinated condensed matter physicists for decades because of their unusual properties such as spin fractionalization and long-range entanglement. Unlike conventional symmetry breaking the topological order underlying quantum spin liquids is hard to detect experimentally. Even theoretical models are scarce for which the ground state is established to be a quantum spin liquid. The Kitaev honeycomb model and its generalizations to other tri-coordinated lattices are chief counterexamples --- they are exactly solvable, harbor a variety of quantum spin liquid phases, and are also relevant for certain transition metal compounds including the polymorphs of (Na,Li)$_2$IrO$_3$ Iridates and RuCl$_3$. In this review, we give an overview of the rich physics of the Kitaev model, including 2D and 3D fractionalization as well as dynamical correlations and behavior at finite temperatures. We discuss the different materials, and argue how the Kitaev model physics can be relevant even though most materials show magnetic ordering at low temperatures.
