description: Vestibular function (VF) in patients with cochlear implantation (CI) performed during childhood is underinvestigated To study VF in patients receiving CI during childhood Sixty patients (22 females) from 7–34 years old, unilaterally (n = 21) and bilaterally (n = 39) implanted, were included. Deafness was congenital (n = 45), consequential to meningitis (n = 3), skull fracture (n = 1), perinatal CMV infection (n = 1), ototoxic drugs (n = 1), unknown etiology (n = 9). VF was measured between 1 to 22 years after implantation, including calorics, v-HIT, c-VEMPS. Dizziness handicap inventory (DHI), age at independent walking(IW), sport activities were also investigated. Nine CI-patients (15%) reported dizziness/vertigo either prior or months to years after surgery. Comparison between symptomatic (15%), asymptomatic (85%), uni-bilaterally CI-patients showed no significant difference on VF’s impairment for calorics (p = .603) and v-HIT (p = 1). Symptoms were not related to vestibular impairment. Age at implantation (p = 0.956), uni- bilateral (p = .32), simultaneous versus sequential (p = .134) did not influence IW age. DHI showed a tendency for being symptomatic at higher implantation age. Interval between CI, IWage, current age between surgery and vestibular evaluation did not have a significant effect on symptomatology. This first middle to long-term evaluation of the VF in CI-patients, implanted in childhood, pointed out that 85% of patients were asymptomatic, with a mean time of >10 years after surgery. Vestibular impairment and symptoms seem to be mainly due to the underlying inner ear’s disease rather than surgery.

description: We investigate the properties of cool cores in an optimally selected sample of 37 massive and X-ray-bright galaxy clusters, with regular morphologies, observed with Chandra. We measured the density, temperature, and abundance radial profiles of their intracluster medium (ICM). From these independent quantities, we computed the cooling (tcool) free-fall (tff), and turbulence (teddy) timescales as a function of radius. By requiring the profile-crossing condition, tcool=teddy=1, we measured the cool-core condensation radius Rccc, within which the balancing feeding and feedback processes generate the turbulent condensation rain and related chaotic cold accretion (CCA). We also constrained the complementary (quenched) cooling flow radius Rqcf, obtained via the condition tcool=25Xtff, that encompasses the region of thermally unstable cooling. We find that in our cluster sample and in the limited redshift range considered (1.3E14

description: IGR J17407-2808 is an enigmatic and poorly studied X-ray binary that was recently observed quasi-simultaneously with NuSTAR and XMM-Newton. In this paper we report the results of this observational campaign. During the first 60 ks of observation, the source was caught in a relatively low emission state, characterised by a modest variability and an average flux of ~8.3E-13 erg/cm^2/s (4-60 keV). Afterwards, IGR J17407-2808 entered a significantly more active emission state that persisted for the remaining ~40 ks of the NuSTAR observation. During this state, IGR J17407-2808 displayed several fast X-ray flares, featuring durations of ~1-100 s and profiles with either single or multiple peaks. The source flux in the flaring state reached values as high as 2E-9 erg/cm^2/s (4-60 keV), leading to a measured dynamic range during the NuSTAR and XMM-Newton campaign of >~ 10^3. We also analysed available archival photometric near-infrared data of IGR J17407-2808 to improve the constraints available so far on the the nature of the donor star hosted in this system. Our analysis shows that the donor star can be either a rare K or M-type sub-subgiant or an K type main sequence star, or sub-giant star. Our findings support the classification of IGR J17407-2808 as a low-mass X-ray binary. We discuss the source X-ray behaviour as recorded by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton in view of this revised classification.

description: We present Herschel observations of six fine-structure lines in 25 Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at z<0.27. The lines, [O III]52, [N III]57, [O I]63, [N II]122, [O I]145, and [C II]158, are mostly single gaussians with widths <600 km s-1 and luminosities of 10^7 - 10^9 Solar. There are deficits in the [O I]63/L_IR, [N II]/L_IR, [O I]145/L_IR, and [C II]/L_IR ratios compared to lower luminosity systems. The majority of the line deficits are consistent with dustier H II regions, but part of the [C II] deficit may arise from an additional mechanism, plausibly charged dust grains. This is consistent with some of the [C II] originating from PDRs or the ISM. We derive relations between far-IR line luminosities and both IR luminosity and star formation rate. We find that [N II] and both [O I] lines are good tracers of IR luminosity and star formation rate. In contrast, [C II] is a poor tracer of IR luminosity and star formation rate, and does not improve as a tracer of either quantity if the [C II] deficit is accounted for. The continuum luminosity densities also correlate with IR luminosity and star formation rate. We derive ranges for the gas density and ultraviolet radiation intensity of 10^1 < n < 10^2.5 and 10^2.2 < G_0 < 10^3.6, respectively. These ranges depend on optical type, the importance of star formation, and merger stage. We do not find relationships between far-IR line properties and several other parameters; AGN activity, merger stage, mid-IR excitation, and SMBH mass. We conclude that these far-IR lines arise from gas heated by starlight, and that they are not strongly influenced by AGN activity.

description: The major marker utilized to monitor COPD patients is forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). However, a single measurement of FEV1 cannot reliably predict subsequent decline. Recent studies indicate that T lymphocytes and eosinophils are important determinants of disease stability in COPD. We therefore measured cytokine levels in the lung lavage fluid and plasma of COPD patients in order to determine if the levels of T cell or eosinophil related cytokines were predictive of the future course of the disease. Baseline lung lavage and plasma samples were collected from COPD subjects with moderately severe airway obstruction and emphysematous changes on chest CT. The study participants were former smokers who had not had a disease exacerbation within the past six months or used steroids within the past two months. Those subjects who demonstrated stable disease over the following six months (ΔFEV1 % predicted = 4.7 ± 7.2; N = 34) were retrospectively compared with study participants who experienced a rapid decline in lung function (ΔFEV1 % predicted = -16.0 ± 6.0; N = 16) during the same time period and with normal controls (N = 11). Plasma and lung lavage cytokines were measured from clinical samples using the Luminex multiplex kit which enabled the simultaneous measurement of several T cell and eosinophil related cytokines. Stable COPD participants had significantly higher plasma IL-2 levels compared to participants with rapidly progressive COPD (p = 0.04). In contrast, plasma eotaxin-1 levels were significantly lower in stable COPD subjects compared to normal controls (p < 0.03). In addition, lung lavage eotaxin-1 levels were significantly higher in rapidly progressive COPD participants compared to both normal controls (p < 0.02) and stable COPD participants (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that IL-2 and eotaxin-1 levels may be important markers of disease stability in advanced emphysema patients. Prospective studies will need to confirm whether measuring IL-2 or eotaxin-1 can identify patients at risk for rapid disease progression.

description: We study the influence of Coulomb correlations on spectral and magnetic properties of fcc cobalt using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory. The computed uniform and local magnetic susceptibilities obey the Curie-Weiss law, which, as we demonstrate, occurs due to the partial formation of local magnetic moments. We find that the lifetime of these moments in cobalt is significantly less than in bcc iron, suggesting a more itinerant magnetism in cobalt. In contrast to the bcc iron, the obtained electronic self-energies exhibit a quasiparticle shape with the quasiparticle mass enhancement factor ${m^*/m}\sim$1.8, corresponding to moderately correlated metal. Finally, our calculations reveal that the static magnetic susceptibility of cobalt is dominated by ferromagnetic correlations, as evidenced by its momentum dependence.

description: The use of plane wave approximation in molecular orbital tomography via high-order harmonic generation has been questioned since it was proposed, owing to the fact that it ignores the essential property of the continuum wave function. To address this problem, we develop a theory to retrieve the valence molecular orbital directly utilizing molecular continuum wave function which takes into account the influence of the parent ion field on the continuum electrons. By transforming this wave function into momentum space, we show that the mapping from the relevant molecular orbital to the high-order harmonic spectra is still invertible. As an example, the highest orbital of $\mathrm{N_2}$ is successfully reconstructed and it shows good agreement with the \emph{ab initio} orbital. Our work clarifies the long-standing controversy and strengthens the theoretical basis of molecular orbital tomography.

description: Un ensemble complexe de prélèvements et de transferts sociaux s’interpose entre la rémunération versée aux ménages et le revenu dont ils disposeront effectivement. D’un côté, cotisations sociales, impôts et taxes viennent grever ce revenu ; de l’autre, prestations sociales et allocations l’augmentent. Mais le fonctionnement de ce système a des conséquences variables sur le niveau du revenu disponible d’un ménage en fonction des caractéristiques de ce ménage (situation du conjoint, nombre d’enfants) et du niveau de ses revenus (RMI, bas salaires). Jusqu’à présent, ce fonctionnement n’était décrit qu’à travers l’analyse de cas-types. L’application de ce système à un échantillon représentatif d’une partie de la population française (près de 20 millions d’individus) permet, en plus, d’étudier la répartition des taux nets de prélèvement dans cette sous-population.

Des exercices de simulation réalisés, il ressort que ce sont les ménages ayant les revenus les plus bas qui ont les taux marginaux de prélèvement les plus hauts, ce qui peut avoir pour effet de limiter les effets des incitations financières à la reprise d’un emploi. En particulier, l’incitation financière à reprendre un emploi payé au Smic paraît faible pour nombre des chômeurs et des inactifs.

description: A high number of patients seek health information online, and large language models (LLMs) may produce a rising amount of it. This study evaluates the performance regarding health information provided by ChatGPT, a LLM developed by OpenAI, focusing on its utility as a source for otolaryngology-related patient information. A variety of doctors from a tertiary otorhinolaryngology department used a Likert scale to assess the chatbot’s responses in terms of accuracy, relevance, and depth. The responses were also evaluated by ChatGPT. The composite mean of the three categories was 3.41, with the highest performance noted in the relevance category (mean = 3.71) when evaluated by the respondents. The accuracy and depth categories yielded mean scores of 3.51 and 3.00, respectively. All the categories were rated as 5 when evaluated by ChatGPT. Despite its potential in providing relevant and accurate medical information, the chatbot’s responses lacked depth and were found to potentially perpetuate biases due to its training on publicly available text. In conclusion, while LLMs show promise in healthcare, further refinement is necessary to enhance response depth and mitigate potential biases.

description: We present an analysis of the formation of atmospheric flux ropes in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) solar flux emergence simulation. The simulation domain ranges from the top of the solar interior to the low corona. A twisted magnetic flux tube emerges from the solar interior and into the atmosphere where it interacts with the ambient magnetic field. By studying the connectivity of the evolving magnetic field, we are able to better understand the process of flux rope formation in the solar atmosphere. In the simulation, two flux ropes are produced as a result of flux emergence. Each has a different evolution resulting in different topological structures. These are determined by plasma flows and magnetic reconnection. As the flux rope is the basic structure of the coronal mass ejection (CME), we discuss the implications of our findings for solar eruptions.

description: We modify the NonLinear Guiding Center (NLGC) theory (Matthaeus et al. 2003) for perpendicular diffusion by replacing the spectral amplitude of the two-component model magnetic turbulence with the 2D component one (following Shalchi 2006), and replacing the constant $a^2$, indicating the degree particles following magnetic field line, with a variable $a^{\prime 2}$ as a function of the magnetic turbulence. We combine the modified model with the NonLinear PArallel (NLPA) diffusion theory (Qin 2007) to solve perpendicular and parallel diffusion coefficients simultaneously. It is shown that the new model agrees better with simulations. Furthermore, we fit the numerical results of the new model with polynomials, so that parallel and perpendicular diffusion coefficients can be calculated directly without iteration of integrations, and many numerical calculations can be reduced.

description: We quantify the evolution of matter and galaxy clustering in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations via correlation and bias functions of matter and galaxies. We use simulations TNG100 and TNG300 with epochs from $z=5$ to $z=0$. We calculate spatial correlation functions of galaxies, $ξ(r)$, for simulated galaxies and dark matter (DM) particles to characterise the evolving cosmic web. We find that bias parameters decrease during the evolution, confirming earlier results. At low and medium luminosities, bias parameters of galaxies, $b_0$, are equal, suggesting that dwarf galaxies reside in the same filamentary web as brighter galaxies. Bias parameters of the lowest luminosity galaxies estimated from CFs are lower relative to CFs of particle density-limited clustered samples of DM. We find that bias parameters $b_0$, estimated from CFs of clustered DM, agree with the expected values from the fraction of particles in the clustered population, $b=1/F_c$. The cosmic web contains filamentary structures of various densities, and fractions of matter in the clustered and the unclustered populations are both less than unity. Thus the CF amplitude of the clustered matter is always higher than for all matter, i.e. bias parameter must be $b>1$. Differences between CFs of galaxies and clustered DM suggest that these functions describe different properties of the cosmic web.

description: The Sicilian Opera dei pupi is a form of prose theater that dramatizes primarily chivalric narratives using large wooden puppets with full armor, swords, and shields. Puppet theater can be found throughout the world from Northern Europe to Indonesia and is attested to in Sicily since the fourth century B.C.E. (Xenophon, Symposium). The concrete origins of the Opera dei pupi tradition,however, are a matter of speculation due to scanty documentation prior to the early nineteenth century. Whether or not the Italian Opera dei pupi came from Spain (or from Naples, as some sources indicate), it is documented on the island in the early 1800s. Although it was also successful elsewhere, in particular Rome, Naples, and Modena, the Opera dei pupi achieved its greatest popularity in Sicily during the course of the nineteenth century. The eminent Sicilian folklorist Giuseppe Pitré (1841-1916) counted twenty-five puppet theaters in Sicily in 1884, with nine in Palermo, three in Catania, and the rest spread out throughout the island.

description: We consider a stack of parallel sheets composed of conducting planes with tensorial conductivities. Using the scattering matrix approach, we derive explicit formulas for the Casimir energy of two, three, and four planes, as well as a recurrence relation for arbitrary planes. Specifically, for a stack of graphene, we solve the recurrence relations and obtain formulas for the Casimir energy and force acting on the planes within the stack. Moreover, we calculate the binding energy in the graphene stack with graphite interplane separation, which amounts to $E_{ib} = 9.9$ meV/atom. Notably, the Casimir force on graphene sheets decreases rapidly for planes beyond the first one. In particular, for the second graphene layer in the stack, the force is $35$ times smaller than that experienced by the first layer.

description: Some patients will experience more or less benefit from treatment than the averages reported from clinical trials; such variation in therapeutic outcome is termed heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTE). Identifying HTE is necessary to individualize treatment. The degree to which heterogeneity is sought and analyzed correctly in the general medical literature is unknown. We undertook this literature sample to track the use of HTE analyses over time, examine the appropriateness of the statistical methods used, and explore the predictors of such analyses. Articles were selected through a probability sample of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in Annals of Internal Medicine, BMJ, JAMA, The Lancet, and NEJM during odd numbered months of 1994, 1999, and 2004. RCTs were independently reviewed and coded by two abstractors, with adjudication by a third. Studies were classified as reporting: (1) HTE analysis, utilizing a formal test for heterogeneity or treatment-by-covariate interaction, (2) subgroup analysis only, involving no formal test for heterogeneity or interaction; or (3) neither. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression were used to identify variables associated with HTE reporting. 319 studies were included. Ninety-two (29%) reported HTE analysis; another 88 (28%) reported subgroup analysis only, without examining HTE formally. Major covariates examined included individual risk factors associated with prognosis, responsiveness to treatment, or vulnerability to adverse effects of treatment (56%); gender (30%); age (29%); study site or center (29%); and race/ethnicity (7%). Journal of publication and sample size were significant independent predictors of HTE analysis (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). HTE is frequently ignored or incorrectly analyzed. An iterative process of exploratory analysis followed by confirmatory HTE analysis will generate the data needed to facilitate an individualized approach to evidence-based medicine.

description: Mira and semi-regular variable stars have been studied for centuries but continue to be enigmatic. One unsolved mystery is the presence of polarization from these stars. In particular, we present 40 years of polarization measurements for the prototype o Ceti and V CVn and find very different phenomena for each star. The polarization fraction and position angle for Mira is found to be small and highly variable. On the other hand, the polarization fraction for V CVn is large and variable, from 2 - 7 %, and its position angle is approximately constant, suggesting a long-term asymmetric structure. We suggest a number of potential scenarios to explain these observations.

description: In the stress-strength reliability literature, although identical components assumption may not be realistic due to the structure of a system, independent and identically distributed components have been commonly used. In this study, we aim to contribute to the literature by studying of non-identical distributed components in a consecutive k-out of-n system when both stress and strength components follow the proportional hazard rate models. Estimation methods for the stress-strength reliability of this system are investigated from frequentist and Bayesian perspectives. Maximum likelihood and uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimations are obtained in the frequentist approach. Based on the suitability of the structure, approximate Bayes estimates methods: Lindley’s approximation, Markov Chain Monte Carlo through Metropolis-Hastings or Gibbs sampling algorithms and exact Bayes estimates are derived. Asymptotic confidence and highest posterior density credible intervals are also constructed for all cases. We provide comprehensive simulation experiments for investigating the performances of the considered estimates. Wind speed data from NASA’s satellite data source project are used in the application of the considered model and methods. We present the comparison of wind energy potentials of two districts on the Aegean coast of Turkey using our model structure after determining their wind speed distributions.

description: It is believed that almost all common diseases are the consequence of complex interactions between genetic markers and environmental factors. However, few such interactions have been documented to date. Conventional statistical methods for detecting gene and environmental interactions are often based on the linear regression model, which assumes a linear interaction effect. In this study, we propose a nonparametric partition-based approach that is able to capture complex interaction patterns. We apply this method to the real data set of hypertension provided by Genetic Analysis Workshop 18. Compared with the linear regression model, the proposed approach is able to identify many additional variants with significant gene-environmental interaction effects. We further investigate one single-nucleotide polymorphism identified by our method and show that its gene-environmental interaction effect is, indeed, nonlinear. To adjust for the family dependence of phenotypes, we apply different permutation strategies and investigate their effects on the outcomes.

description: In this contribution, we employ a density matrix based optimization procedure to obtain customized basis functions to describe chains of rotating water molecules in interaction regimes associated with different intermolecular distances. This procedure is shown to yield a very compact basis with a clear truncation criterion based on the population of the single particle basis functions. For the water trimer, we discuss the convergence behavior of several properties and show it to be superior when compared to an energy-based truncated basis. It is demonstrated that the optimized basis reduces the necessary number of basis functions by at least an order of magnitude. Finally, the optimization procedure is employed to study larger chains of up to ten water molecules. The formation of hydrogen bonds as well as its impact on the net polarization of the chain is discussed.

description: Dietary factors probably play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is a paucity of specific dietary guidelines for RA patients and little information on their implementation in daily life. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the nutritional status and provision of nutritional education among outpatients with RA. Here, 61 patients were included with a sex ratio of 2.03 (f/m). Based on BMI, 22% of women were overweight and 32% obese, whereas 50% of men were overweight and 30% obese. Fasting blood and a 3-day estimated dietary record were collected. Additionally, patients were asked whether they had already received information about a specific diet as part of their disease treatment plan. Elevated total cholesterol levels were found in 76% of women and in 60% of men caused by increased non-HDL-C levels. The dietary intake assessment showed a lower self-reported intake of energy, polyunsaturated fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and several micronutrients than recommended. Regarding healthy eating, all patients reported familiarity with dietary recommendations, but found it difficult to implement the recommendations into their diets. These findings suggested that RA patients need more specific recommendations and education in clinical practice to improve the quality of their diet.
