description: In this case, we present a unique case presentation of vaping associated lung injury and treatment approaches. A 17-year-old previously healthy male was admitted to the hospital for intractable & persistent vomiting, fever, cough, abdominal pain, and intermittent diarrhea and dehydration. He presented with severe chest pain and O2 desaturations up to 80% on room air. An infectious (including a Nasopharyngeal swab), GI, and cardiac workup was completed and was negative except for elevated inflammatory markers with a C-reactive protein (CRP) of 261 mg/L, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 53 mm/hr and a d-dimer of 0.93 mcg/ml. Chest X-ray showed diffuse multifocal infiltrates. The patient was treated with ceftriaxone, and azithromycin initially for a suspected pneumonia. He was also started on 4L of nasal cannula O2 supplementation. Due to persistent hypoxic respiratory failure, worsening respiratory distress clinically, with tachypnea and retractions, and lab findings of elevated d-dimer, a chest CT was performed to rule out a pulmonary embolism (PE). Computed Tomography (CT) findings were negative for PE but notable for diffuse airspace opacities, primarily within the lower lobes, with a ground-glass appearance concerning for ARDS. Upon further investigation of the social history, the patient admitted to vaping nicotine products for the past 4 years and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products within the last several months. He was immediately started on Prednisone 30mg BID for a diagnosis of E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) and started showing clinical improvement. The patient was able to be weaned off of supplemental oxygen to room air and clinical symptoms of respiratory distress began to improve over the next 24 hours.
Slave Boson Approach to The Neutron Scattering in YBCO Superconductors

description: The evolution of the so-called `41meV resonance' in the magnetic response of YBCO cuprates is studied with slave-boson theory for the t-t'-J-model. The resonance appears as a collective spin fluctuation in the d-wave superconducting (SC) state. It is undamped at optimal doping due to a threshold in the excitation energies of particle--hole pairs with relative wave vector (pi,pi). When hole filling is reduced, the resonance moves to lower energies and broadens. Below the resonance energy we find a crossover to an incommensurate response in agreement with a recent experiment on YBa_2CU_3O_6.6. We show that dynamic nesting in the d-wave SC state causes this effect.

description: We have performed the first detailed spatially resolved spectroscopy of Cas A in the 1.6-10 keV energy range, using data taken with the MECS spectrometer on board the BeppoSAX Observatory. We performed a spatial deconvolution of the data and eventually generated a set of spectra, covering a region of about 3 arcmin radius around the centre of Cas A. The results obtained by fitting these spectra using a non-equilibrium ionisation plasma model and a power law, are: (i) a single thermal component is sufficient to fit all the spectra; (ii) kT is rather uniformly distributed with a minimum in the east and a maximum in the west, and no evidence is found for high kT expected from the interaction of the main shock with the ISM; (iii) from the distribution of the values of the ionisation parameter n_et we infer the presence of two distinct components: the first (a) in the range 1-10 cm^(-3), the second (b) with values ten times higher; if we associate component a to the CSM and component b to the ejecta, the mass ratio M(a)/M(b)<= 1/10 indicates a progenitor star that lost only a small fraction of the envelope during its pre-SN life. In this hypothesis the distribution of component b across the remnant suggests that the explosion was not spherically symmetric; (iv) the distribution of abundances indicates that we are detecting a CSM component with almost solar composition, and an ejecta component enriched in heavier elements. Abundances found for alpha-elements are consistent with the current view that Cas A was produced by the explosion of a massive star.

description: It was recently shown that Strong Cosmic Censorship might be violated for near-extremally-charged black holes in 4-dimensional de Sitter space under scalar perturbations. Here, we extend the study of neutral massless scalar perturbations in higher dimensions and discuss the dimensional influence on the validity of Strong Cosmic Censorship hypothesis. By giving an elaborate description of neutral massless scalar perturbations of Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black holes in $d=4,5$ and $6$ dimensions we conclude that Strong Cosmic Censorship is violated near extremality.

description: The methods for controlling spin states of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers using a combination of microwave (MW) or radiofrequency (RF) excitation field for electron spin transitions and RF excitation field for nuclear spin transitions are most effective in strong magnetic fields where level anti-crossing (LAC) occurs. However, LAC in zero field can also be used to control spin states, as well as to excite narrow resonances for metrological application. In this paper we present magnetically independent resonances arising in the ODMR spectra of NV centers in bulk diamond under two-frequency (MW+RF) resonant excitation in zero magnetic field, and discuss their specificity.

description: Structural adhesives are an important component of strengthening and repair techniques for structures. Adequate and proper curing of such materials is essential to achieve its desired strength and durability. In this study, the curing process of epoxy type Sikadur 330 is monitored using the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique employing smart piezoelectric material, namely Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT). Experimental results show that the PZT transducer embedded into the epoxy in liquid state is effective in monitoring the initial setting and the subsequent hardening process of a lab scale epoxy coupon. Rightward movement of both the PZT resonance peaks and the structural resonance peaks indirectly reflects the curing process. This study shows that the EMI technique is capable of monitoring the curing process of the structural adhesive. Future study shall focus on developing theoretical model capable of parametrically relate the electrical signatures to the mechanical stiffness and strength

description: We investigate the electronic properties of the parabolic Dirac system. In the pres- ence of magnetic field, we discuss the thermodynamical potential and the anomalous diamagnetism due to the presence of Dirac cone. The integer Hall conductivity and the intrinsic Hall conductivity induced by the Berry curvature are also investigated. Considering the disorder-induced self-energy in self-consistent Born approximation, the RKKY interaction, long-range scattering rate and the spectral function are also calculated, which are distinct to that of the clean system (without impurity).

We show that a systematic perturbative approach, called the expansion in width and developed for curved domain walls, can be generalized to the interfaces. Procedure for calculating curvature corrections is described. We also derive formulas for local velocity and local surface tension of the interface. As an example, evolution of spherical interfaces is discussed, including an estimate of critical size of small droplets.

thermal stabilization

description: The heat stress tolerance of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) was markedly enhanced by the addition of water-miscible aprotic ionic liquids consisting of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation and several kinds of anions to the aqueous solution of HEWL. Inorganic salts and glycerol inhibited the formation of enzyme aggregation to some extent, and enhanced the thermal stability of HEWL, while β-cyclodextrin, Triton-X, and pectin had no effect on the thermal stability of HEWL. On the other hand, ionic liquids could more effectively increase the thermal stability of HEWL, compared to conventional stabilizing agents. Addition of ionic liquids to the aqueous solution of HEWL prevented partially unfolded enzymes from aggregating irreversibly at high temperatures. The thermal denaturation curve of HEWL with ionic liquids was remarkably shifted to higher temperature, compared with that without ionic liquids. Moreover, the remaining activity of HEWL after the heat treatment was strongly dependent upon the kind and concentration of ionic liquids. The remaining activities of HEWL with 1.5 M 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([emim][BF4]) and 0.1 M 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][Tf]) exhibited 88 and 68% after the heat treatment at 90°C for 30 min, respectively, although that without ionic liquids was perfectly lost.

Our data, including NMR spectra and the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate $T_{1}^{-1}$, indicate a first order phase transition to occur at $T_{c}\simeq 23$ K. The NMR response of LiVGe$_{2}$O$_{6}$ below $T_{c}$ suggests that the ordered phase is antiferromagnetic and has unusual features. Possible reasons for this unexpected behavior are discussed.

description: The use of structural adhesives, such as epoxy, for the strengthening and repair of civil infrastructure is gaining popularity in the engineering community. Of particular concern to the viability of intervention measure is the degradation of strength and durability of the epoxy over time, especially when exposed to aggressive environments. Monitoring the corrosion process of epoxy is thus essential to ensure safety of the host structure. In this paper, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique that employs a smart piezoelectric transducer is used to monitor the degradation process of commercially available epoxy when exposed to corrosive environments. Standard epoxy coupons with surface bonded piezoelectric transducer are prepared and then immersed in either acidic or saline conditions in the laboratory. Experimental results show that the change in frequency of resonance peaks in the admittance signatures versus the frequency spectrum is a good indicator of the corrosion process. This study proves that the EMI technique is effective in characterising the severity of corrosion inflicted on the epoxy. The capability of the EMI technique in providing autonomous, real-time, remote monitoring with quick response using non-intrusive active sensors could potentially replace its conventional counterparts
Mechanisms and sites of ultra high energy cosmic ray origin

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We shortly discuss several astrophysical scenarios leading to cosmic ray acceleration up to extremely high energies reaching the scale of 10^{20} eV. The processes suggested in the literature include acceleration at relativistic jet terminal shocks and shear boundary layers, shocks in large scale accretion flows onto supergalactic cosmic structures, particle reflections from ultra-relativistic shocks postulated to exist in sources of gamma ray bursts, the processes involving the neutron star rotating magnetospheres and dormant quasars. Some of these objects can explain cosmic rays with highest energies if one tunes the model parameters to limits enabling the highest acceleration efficiency. We also note that some of the considered processes allow for acceleration efficiency in the Hillas diagram, beta, to be much larger than unity. The present paper is based on a review talk presented during the European Cosmic Ray Symposium in Lodz (2000).

description: We report the observation of two dielectric transitions at 110K and 60K in the microwave response of non-superconducting YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.0} crystals. The transitions are characterized by a change in polarizability and presence of loss peaks, associated with overdamped dielectric modes. An explanation is presented in terms of changes in polarizability of the apical O atoms in the Ba-O layer, affected by lattice softening at 110K, due to change in buckling of the Cu-O layer. The onset of another mode at 60K strongly suggests an additional local lattice change at this temperature. Thus microwave dielectric measurements are sensitive indicators of lattice softening which may be relevant to superconductivity.

description: Background-—Lymphatic vessels interconnect with blood vessels to form an elaborate system that aids in the control of tissue pressure and edema formation. Although the lymphatic system has been known to exist in a heart, little is known about the role the cardiac lymphatic system plays in the development of heart failure. Methods and Results-—Mice (C57BL/6J, male, 8 to 12 weeks of age) were subjected to either myocardial ischemia or myocardial ischemia and reperfusion for up to 28 days. Analysis revealed that both models increased the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C and VEGF receptor 3 starting at 1 day after the onset of injury, whereas a significant increase in lymphatic vessel density was observed starting at 3 days. Further studies aimed to determine the consequences of inhibiting the endogenous lymphangiogenesis response on the development of heart failure. Using 2 different pharmacological approaches, we found that inhibiting VEGF receptor 3 with MAZ-51 and blocking endogenous vascular endothelial growth factor C with a neutralizing antibody blunted the increase in lymphatic vessel density, blunted lymphatic transport, increased inflammation, increased edema, and increased cardiac dysfunction. Subsequent studies revealed that augmentation of the endogenous lymphangiogenesis response with vascular endothelial growth factor C treatment reduced inflammation, reduced edema, and improved cardiac dysfunction. Conclusions-—These results suggest that the endogenous lymphangiogenesis response plays an adaptive role in the development of ischemic-induced heart failure and supports the emerging concept that therapeutic lymphangiogenesis is a promising new approach for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

description: We extend the work of Ryan on mapping the spacetime of the central object of an extreme mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI) by using gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by the system, which may be observed in future missions such as LISA. Whether the central object is a black hole or not can be probed by observing the phasing of these waves, which carry information about its mass and spin multipole moments. We go beyond the phase terms found by Ryan, which were obtained in the quadrupolar approximation of the point-particle limit, and derive terms up to the fifth post-Newtonian (PN) order. Since corrections due to horizon absorption (i.e., if the central object is a black hole) and tidal heating appear by that order, at 2.5PN and 5PN, respectively, we include them here. Corrections due to the motion of the central object, which was addressed only partially by Ryan, are included as well. Additionally, we obtain the contribution of the higher order radiative multipole moments. For the tidal interaction, our results have been derived in the approximation of the Newtonian tidal field. Therefore, in the potential for tidal field only the contribution due to the mass of the central object has been included as well. Using these results we argue that it might be possible for LISA to probe if the central object in an EMRI has a horizon or not. We also discuss how our results can be used to test the No-hair theorem from the inspiral phase of such systems.

description: Fully Differential Cross Sections (FDCS) for single electron capture from helium by heavy ion impact are calculated using a frozen core 3-Body model and an active electron 4-Body model within the first Born approximation. FDCS are presented for H+, He2+, Li3+, and C6+ projectiles with velocities of 100 keV/amu, 1 MeV/amu, and 10 MeV/amu. In general, the FDCS from the two models are found to differ by about one order of magnitude with the active electron 4-Body model showing better agreement with experiment. Comparison of the models reveals two possible sources of the magnitude difference: the inactive electron's change of state and the projectile-target Coulomb interaction used in the different models. Detailed analysis indicates that the uncaptured electron's change of state can safely be neglected in the frozen core approximation, but that care must be used in modeling the projectile-target interaction.

The longitudinal mode, polarized along the direction of ordered moments, is observed for the first time. The model of isolated Haldane chains in a static staggered exchange field, that is known to work very well for static properties and transverse spin excitations in R2BaNiO5 compounds, fails to explain new results for the longitudinal spin gap.

description: Asteroseismology is a unique tool that can be used to study the interior of stars and hence deliver unique information for the studiy of stellar physics, stellar evolution, and Galactic archaeology. We aim to develop a simple model of the information content of asteroseismology and to characterize the ability and precision with which fundamental properties of stars can be estimated for different space missions. We defined and calibrated metrics of the seismic performance. The metrics, expressed by a seismic index ${\mathcal{E}$ defined by simple scaling relations, are calculated for an ensemble of stars. We studied the relations between the properties of mission observations, fundamental stellar properties, and the performance index. We also defined thresholds for asteroseismic detection and measurement of different stellar properties We find two regimes of asteroseismic performance: the first where the signal strength is dominated by stellar properties and not by observational noise; and the second where observational properties dominate. Typically, for evolved stars, stellar properties provide the dominant terms in estimating the information content, while main sequence stars fall in the regime where the observational properties, especially stellar magnitude, dominate. We estimate scaling relations to predict ${\mathcal{E}$ with an intrinsic scatter of around 21%. Incidentally, the metrics allow us to distinguish stars burning either hydrogen or helium. Our predictions will help identify the nature of the cohort of existing and future asteroseismic observations. In addition, the predicted performance for PLATO will help define optimal observing strategies for defined scientific goals.

description: We study the complete probability distribution $\mathcal{P}\left(\bar{H},t\right)$ of the time-averaged height $\bar{H}=(1/t)\int_0^t h(x=0,t')\,dt'$ at point $x=0$ of an evolving 1+1 dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interface $h\left(x,t\right)$. We focus on short times and flat initial condition and employ the optimal fluctuation method to determine the variance and the third cumulant of the distribution, as well as the asymmetric stretched-exponential tails. The tails scale as $-\ln\mathcal{P}\sim\left|\bar{H}\right|^{3/2} \! /\sqrt{t}$ and $-\ln\mathcal{P}\sim\left|\bar{H}\right|^{5/2} \! /\sqrt{t}$, similarly to the previously determined tails of the one-point KPZ height statistics at specified time $t'=t$. The optimal interface histories, dominating these tails, are markedly different. Remarkably, the optimal history, $h\left(x=0,t\right)$, of the interface height at $x=0$ is a non-monotonic function of time: the maximum (or minimum) interface height is achieved at an intermediate time. We also address a more general problem of determining the probability density of observing a given height history of the KPZ interface at point $x=0$.

description: The dielectric function of alpha'-Na(1-x)Ca(x)V2O5 (0 < x < 20%) was measured for the a and b axes in the photon energy range 0.8-4.5 eV at room temperature. By varying the Ca-concentration we control the relative abundancy of V4+ and V5+. We observe that the intensity of the main optical absorption peak at 1 eV is proportional to the number of V5+ ions. This rules out the interpretation as a V4+ d-d excitation, and it establishes that this is the on-rung bonding-antibonding transition.

description: We prove that the mutual information for vacuum state as defined by Araki is finite for quantum field theory of free fermions on a Minkowski spacetime of any dimension. In the case of two dimensional chiral conformal field theory (CFT) we use our previous results for the free fermions to show that for a large class of chiral CFT the mutual information is finite. We also provide a direct relation between relative entropy and the index of a representation of conformal net.

description: We present here the microwave surface impedance of a high purity crystal of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.99}$ measured at 5 frequencies between 1 and 75 GHz. This data set reveals the main features of the conductivity spectrum of the thermally excited quasiparticles in the superconducting state. Below 20 K there is a regime of extremely long quasiparticle lifetimes, due to both the collapse of inelastic scattering below $T_c$ and the very weak impurity scattering in the high purity $BaZrO_3$-grown crystal used in this study. Above 20 K, the scattering increases dramatically, initially at least as fast as $T^4$.

description: In literature, there are papers on scoliosis reporting improvements of spinal curvatures under brace treatment, but this predominately relates to results revealed on x-ray, not clinically. Therefore, it is worthwhile (1) to review the literature showing improvements after brace treatment and (2) to show what can be done conservatively via bracing in curvatures exceeding 45° Cobb. Materials and Methods: (1) A Pub Med review of the literature with a keyword search for (a) ‘scoliosis’, ’brace treatment’ and ‘improvement’ and alternatively for (b) ‘scoliosis’, ‘orthosis’ and ‘improvement’. (2) Additionally, a case series of patients is demonstrated with curvatures exceeding 45° clinically and radiologically. Results: 92 papers displayed in the keyword search for (a) ‘scoliosis’, ’brace treatment’ and ‘improvement’ and 79 papers displayed with the keyword search for (b) ‘scoliosis’, ‘orthosis’ and ‘improvement’. A case series of three patients with curvatures exceeding 45° is demonstrated within this paper revealing radiological and clinical improvement when using the recent Chêneau standard of bracing with a reliable CAD library of braces and an experienced team. Discussion: The solution for the high variability of bracing outcomes is standardization. Braces can be standardized when applying well-tested, standardized brace models from CAD libraries. In comparison, braces made manually cannot be standardized, resulting in unpredictable outcomes. In addition, there is future advancement potential of baseline quality in braces produced using CAD/CAM technologies. Conclusions: Trunk and backshape can be improved conservatively even in patients with curvatures exceeding 45°. Modern concepts of bracing may improve even scoliotic deformities exceeding 45° Cobb, radiologically. Clinical improvements, with modern bracing concepts, are comparable to clinical improvements via surgery. For the majority of scoliosis patients with curvatures exceeding 45°, surgery is not indicated considering the long-term detrimental effects as shown in literature.
Entropic-acoustic instability of shocked Bondi accretion I. What does perturbed Bondi accretion sound like ?

description: In the radial flow of gas into a black hole (i.e. Bondi accretion), the infall of any entropy or vorticity perturbation produces acoustic waves propagating outward. The dependence of this acoustic flux on the shape of the perturbation is investigated in detail. This is the key process in the mechanism of the entropic-acoustic instability proposed by Foglizzo & Tagger (2000) to explain the instability of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion. These acoustic waves create new entropy and vorticity perturbations when they reach the shock, thus closing the entropic-acoustic cycle. With an adiabatic index 1

description: The use of structural adhesives, such as epoxy, for the strengthening and repair of civil infrastructure is gaining popularity in the engineering community. Of particular concern to the viability of intervention measure is the degradation of strength and durability of the epoxy over time, especially when exposed to aggressive environments. Monitoring the corrosion process of epoxy is thus essential to ensure safety of the host structure. In this paper, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique that employs a smart piezoelectric transducer is used to monitor the degradation process of commercially available epoxy when exposed to corrosive environments. Standard epoxy coupons with surface bonded piezoelectric transducer are prepared and then immersed in either acidic or saline conditions in the laboratory. Experimental results show that the change in frequency of resonance peaks in the admittance signatures versus the frequency spectrum is a good indicator of the corrosion process. This study proves that the EMI technique is effective in characterising the severity of corrosion inflicted on the epoxy. The capability of the EMI technique in providing autonomous, real-time, remote monitoring with quick response using non-intrusive active sensors could potentially replace its conventional counterparts

description: Quantum correlations between parts of a composite system most clearly reveal themselves through entanglement. Designing, maintaining, and controlling entangled systems is very demanding, which raises the stakes for understanding the efficacy of entanglement-free, yet quantum, correlations, exemplified by quantum discord. Discord is defined via conditional mutual entropies of parts of a composite system, and its direct measurement is hardly possible even via full tomographic characterization of the system state. Here we design a simple protocol to detect quantum discord and characterize a discorded state in an unentangled bipartite system. Our protocol is based on an electronic setup and relies on a characteristic of discord that can be extracted from repeated direct measurements of current correlations between subsystems. The proposed protocol opens a way of extending experimental studies of discord to many-body condensed matter systems.

description: The presence of refractive index fluctuations in an optical medium can result in the generation of optical rogue waves. Using numerical simulations and statistical analysis, we have shown that the probability of optical rogue waves increases in the presence of spatial correlations in the fluctuations of the refractive index. We have analyzed the impact of the magnitude and the spatial correlation length of these fluctuations on the probability of optical rogue wave generation.

description: Located at Dome A, the highest point of the Antarctic plateau, the Chinese Kunlun station is considered to be one of the best ground-based photometric sites because of its extremely cold, dry, and stable atmosphere(Saunders et al. 2009). A target can be monitored from there for over 40 days without diurnal interruption during a polar winter. This makes Kunlun station a perfect site to search for short-period transiting exoplanets. Since 2008, an observatory has been built at Kunlun station and three telescopes are working there. Using these telescopes, the AST3 project has been carried out over the last six years with a search for transiting exoplanets as one of its key programs (CHESPA). In the austral winters of 2016 and 2017, a set of target fields in the Southern CVZ of TESS (Ricker et al. 2009) were monitored by the AST3-II telescope. In this paper, we introduce the CHESPA and present the first data release containing photometry of 26,578 bright stars (m_i < 15). The best photometric precision at the optimum magnitude for the survey is around 2 mmag. To demonstrate the data quality, we also present a catalog of 221 variables with a brightness variation greater than 5 mmag from the 2016 data. Among these variables, 179 are newly identified periodic variables not listed in the AAVSO databasea), and 67 are listed in the Candidate Target List(Stassun et al. 2017). These variables will require careful attention to avoid false-positive signals when searching for transiting exoplanets. Dozens of new transiting exoplanet candidates will be also released in a subsequent paper(Zhang et al. 2018b).
