description: Background: Two recent evaluations reported that risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) may be higher when pegfilgrastim prophylaxis (PP) is administered on same day as chemotherapy rather than per recommendation (1–3 days following chemotherapy). Such evidence is based largely on the experience of younger privately insured adults and may not be generalizable to older patients in US clinical practice. Methods: A retrospective cohort design and data from Medicare Claims Research Identifiable Files (January 2008–September 2015) were employed. Patients were aged ≥65 years, had breast cancer or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, received chemotherapy with intermediate/high risk for FN, and received PP in ≥1 cycle; cycles with PP were stratified based on administration day (same-day [“Day 0”] vs. 1–3 days following chemotherapy [“Days 1–3”]) and were pooled for analyses. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for FN during the cycle were estimated for patients who received PP on Day 0 versus Days 1–3. Results: Study population included 65,003 patients who received PP in 261,184 cycles; in 5% of cycles, patients received PP on Day 0. Incidence proportion for FN in cycle 1 was 11.4% for Day 0 versus 8.4% for Days 1–3; adjusted OR was 1.4 (p p p p Conclusions: Among Medicare patients receiving chemotherapy and PP in US clinical practice, PP was administered before the recommended timing in 5% of cycles and FN incidence was significantly higher in these cycles. Along with prior research, study findings support recently updated US practice guidelines indicating that PP should be administered the day after chemotherapy.

description: We propose a novel mechanism for the origin of non-Gaussian tails in the probability distribution functions (PDFs) of local variables in nonlinear, diffusive, dynamical systems including passive scalars advected by chaotic velocity fields. Intermittent fluctuations on appropriate time scales in the amplitude of the (chaotic) noise can lead to exponential tails. We provide numerical evidence for such behavior in deterministic, discrete-time passive scalar models. Different possibilities for PDFs are also outlined.

description: Monte Carlo (MC) Simulations, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to study the melting behavior of single lipid components in two-component membranes of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-D54-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine (DMPC-d54) and 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine (DSPC). Microscopic information on the temperature dependent melting of the single lipid species could be investigated using FTIR. The microscopic behavior measured could be well described by the results from the MC simulations. These simulations also allowed to calculate heat capacity profiles as determined with DSC. These ones provide macroscopic information about melting enthalpies and entropy changes which are not accessible with FTIR. Therefore, the MC simulations allowed us to link the two different experimental approaches of FTIR and DSC.

description: In this paper we investigate the properties of series of vacua in the string theory landscape. In particular, we study minima to the flux potential in type IIB compactifications on the mirror quintic. Using geometric transitions, we embed its one dimensional complex structure moduli space in that of another Calabi-Yau with h^{1,1}=86 and h^{2,1}=2. We then show how to construct infinite series of continuously connected minima to the mirror quintic potential by moving into this larger moduli space, applying its monodromies, and moving back. We provide an example of such series, and discuss their implications for the string theory landscape.

description: Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Africa, including Ethiopia, leading to morbidity and death. Clinical profile and tumor characteristics of patients are essential for proper case management and timely referral linkage. This study aimed to describe the clinical profiles, diagnosis and treatments provided to breast cancer patients treated at Hawassa Comprehensive Specialized and Teaching Hospital (HCSTH) from 2013 to 2017 in Southern Ethiopia.
Methods: The medical records of 210 breast cancer patients were reviewed retrospectively in March 2018 in HCSTH. Data on stage at diagnosis, sociodemographic, and tumor characteristics were collected from patient medical charts using a data extraction checklist. Descriptive analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.
Results: One hundred seventy-four (82.9%) patients presented with advanced-stage breast cancer (Stage III n=126 (60%), Stage IV n=48 (22.9%)). Invasive ductal carcinoma was present in 192 (91.4%) patients. Almost all (207; 98.6%) of the patients presented with a breast “lump.” A total of 137 (65.2%) patients had a tumor size greater than 5cm. The number of breast cancer cases increased linearly over the study period from 28 in 2013 to 70 in 2017. Over,94.8% of patients were treated with surgery, only 12.5% of patients received hormonal therapy, and only 0.5% of the patients received radiotherapy service through referral.
Conclusion: The rising incidence of breast cancer cases highlights the growing demand for services at this tertiary healthcare facility. A significant proportion of patients, exceeding 80%, are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease upon presentation, indicating a need to address delays in diagnosis and barriers to timely treatment. It is imperative to focus on downstaging the disease through early detection programs and establishing rapid diagnostic unit as part of interventions aligned with the objectives of the World Health Organization Global Breast Cancer Initiatives.

Anomalous bulk behaviour in the free parafermion $Z(N)$ spin chain

description: We demonstrate using direct numerical diagonalization and extrapolation methods that boundary conditions have a profound effect on the bulk properties of a simple $Z(N)$ model for $N \ge 3$ for which the model hamiltonian is non-hermitian. For $N=2$ the model reduces to the well known quantum Ising model in a transverse field. For open boundary conditions the $Z(N)$ model is known to be solved exactly in terms of free parafermions. Once the ends of the open chain are connected by considering the model on a ring, the bulk properties, including the ground-state energy per site, are seen to differ dramatically with increasing $N$. Other properties, such as the leading finite-size corrections to the ground-state energy, the mass gap exponent and the specific heat exponent, are also seen to be dependent on the boundary conditions. We speculate that this anomalous bulk behaviour is a topological effect.

description: We bosonize a Fermi liquid in any number of dimensions in the limit of long wavelengths. From the bosons we construct a set of coherent states which are related with the displacement of the Fermi surface due to particle-hole excitations. We show that an interacting hamiltonian in terms of the original fermions is quadratic in the bosons. We obtain a path integral representation for the generating functional which in real time, in the semiclassical limit, gives the Landau equation for sound waves and in the imaginary time gives us the correct form of the specific heat for a Fermi liquid even with the corrections due to the interactions between the fermions. We also discuss the similarities between our results and the physics of quantum crystals.

description: We consider (3+1)-dimensional second-order evolutionary PDEs where the unknown $u$ enters only in the form of the 2nd-order partial derivatives. For such equations which possess a Lagrangian, we show that all of them have a symplectic Monge--Ampère form and determine their Lagrangians. We develop a calculus for transforming the symmetry condition to a "skew-factorized" form from which we immediately extract Lax pairs and recursion relations for symmetries, thus showing that all such equations are integrable in the traditional sense. We convert these equations together with their Lagrangians to a two-component form and obtain recursion operators in a $2\times 2$ matrix form. We transform our equations from Lagrangian to Hamiltonian form by using the Dirac's theory of constraints. Composing recursion operators with the Hamiltonian operators we obtain the second Hamiltonian form of our systems, thus showing that they are bi-Hamiltonian systems integrable in the sense of Magri. By this approach, we obtain five new bi-Hamiltonian multi-parameter systems in (3+1) dimensions.

description: We determine the exact short-time distribution $-\ln \mathcal{P}_{\text{f}}\left(H,t\right)= S_{\text{f}} \left(H\right)/\sqrt{t}$ of the one-point height $H=h(x=0,t)$ of an evolving 1+1 Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interface for flat initial condition. This is achieved by combining (i) the optimal fluctuation method, (ii) a time-reversal symmetry of the KPZ equation in 1+1 dimension, and (iii) the recently determined exact short-time height distribution $-\ln \mathcal{P}_{\text{st}}\left(H,t\right)= S_{\text{st}} \left(H\right)/\sqrt{t}$ for \emph{stationary} initial condition. In studying the large-deviation function $S_{\text{st}} \left(H\right)$ of the latter, one encounters two branches: an analytic and a non-analytic. The analytic branch is non-physical beyond a critical value of $H$ where a second-order dynamical phase transition occurs. Here we show that, remarkably, it is the analytic branch of $S_{\text{st}} \left(H\right)$ which determines the large-deviation function $S_{\text{f}} \left(H\right)$ of the flat interface via a simple mapping $S_{\text{f}}\left(H\right)=2^{-3/2}S_{\text{st}}\left(2H\right)$.

description: Objective: Design of Experiment (DoE), that is a tool of Quality by Design (QbD) paradigm, with which experiments can be planned more effectively and provide more information, while after Design Space (DS) can be set up, which assure the quality of the desired product. The aim of this study was to find the optimal drug-excipient ratio and the optimal process parameters (milling time, milling speed) of our previously used dry co-milling method and validate the DS. Materials and methods: Lamotrigine (LAM), an antiepileptic drug was used as a model API. Poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) was chosen according to our previous study as a hydrophylic matrix polymer. Milling time, speed, and the API:additive ratio was varied to find out their effect on the product. The optimization was performed on particle size of LAM, its standard deviation and the in vitro dissolution of the samples. Response surface modeling completed the statistical analysis that assessed the effects of independent variables on the responses. Results: Due to the DS estimation, a more economical sample preparation method was set up. Finally, the sample that was prepared according to the optimized parameters (1.5 h, 400 rpm, 0.8 PVA:LAM ratio) showed around 100 nm drug particles and 97% drug release in five minutes. Conclusion: From the DS generated by the software, an optimal formulation was obtained and the results validated the experimental design. The QbD approach was a useful and effective tool of understanding the parameters that affect the quality of the desired product.

description: Background: Pulses are cultivated across a range of soil and climatic conditions that often have many abiotic constraints to production. Whilst water stress has been identified as the greatest constraint in Australian pulse cultivation, other limitations include heat, frost, nutrient deficiency, and a variety of soil physiochemical constraints. Several studies on various pulses have examined shoot and root architecture and their ability to mitigate specific abiotic constraints. However, these studies have been conducted independently of each other, and there is a lack of amalgamated information combining both shoot and root responses that can address production constraints. Scope: This review examines the shoot and root system architecture of key pulses used for human consumption grown in Australia including chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea and lupin; and where possible it provides a comparison with relevant research from other crops, especially cereals. It examines research conducted on adaptations to drought, waterlogging, temperature extremes, soil chemical toxicities and high soil strength. Conclusion: The review utilises a physiological framework to identify trait combinations that define theoretical ideotypes of pulse crops that would be better able to mitigate abiotic constraints currently limiting Australian pulse productivity. This framework can be extended directly to other similar environments globally or be used to develop new ideotypes that are better adapted to a wider range of regions within Australia.

description: Postoperative pain after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is important. It appears essential to reduce postoperative pain and morphine consumption. Retrospective study in a university hospital comparing patient benefiting from CRS-HIPEC under opioid-free anesthesia (OFA; dexmedetomidine) to those anesthetized with opioid anesthesia (OA; remifentanil) using a propensity score matching method. The main objective was the impact of OFA on postoperative morphine consumption in the first 24 h after surgery. 102 patients were included, matching on the propensity score allowed selecting 34 unique pairs analyzed. Morphine consumption was lower in the OFA group than in the OA group (3.0 [0.00–11.0] mg/24 h vs. 13.0 [2.5–25.0] mg/24 h; p = 0.02). In multivariable analysis, OFA was associated with a reduction of 7.2 [0.5–13.9] mg of postoperative morphine (p = 0.04). The rate of renal failure with a KDIGO-score > 1 was lower in the OFA group than in the OA group (12% vs. 38%; p = 0.01). There was no difference between groups concerning length of surgery/anesthesia, norepinephrine infusion, volume of fluid therapy, post-operative complications, rehospitalization or ICU readmission within 90 days, mortality, and postoperative rehabilitation. Our results suggest that OFA for CRS-HIPEC patients appears safe and is associated with less postoperative morphine use and acute kidney injury.

description: We report on the fabrication and characterization of an optimized comb-drive actuator design for strain-dependent transport measurements on suspended graphene. We fabricate devices from highly p-doped silicon using deep reactive ion etching with a chromium mask. Crucially, we implement a gold layer to reduce the device resistance from $\approx51.6$ k$\mathrmΩ$ to $\approx236$ $\mathrmΩ$ at room temperature in order to allow for strain-dependent transport measurements. The graphene is integrated by mechanically transferring it directly onto the actuator using a polymethylmethacrylate membrane. Importantly, the integrated graphene can be nanostructured afterwards to optimize device functionality. The minimum feature size of the structured suspended graphene is 30 nm, which allows for interesting device concepts such as mechanically-tunable nanoconstrictions. Finally, we characterize the fabricated devices by measuring the Raman spectrum as well as the a mechanical resonance frequency of an integrated graphene sheet for different strain values.

description: Objective: Timely administration of epinephrine is critical in the treatment of anaphylaxis. This study sought to determine the frequency of administration of epinephrine by EMS providers caring for pediatric patients in the prehospital setting. Methods: We examined data from the NC EMS database (PreMIS) from 2010–3 to determine frequency of epinephrine administration in pediatric patients with anaphylaxis. We studied patients <18 years of age with an EMS provider impression of “allergic reaction.” Anaphylaxis was present if there was hypotension (defined as SBP < 90 or DBP < 45 for patients age 11 and older, and SBP < 70 + (2 × age) for patients ages 0–10), or impaired respirations (defined as description of labored or absent respirations, or RR < 12 or > 30). We determined the overall frequency of epinephrine administration. A multivariate logistic regression was then constructed to examine the impact of the following variables on appropriate epinephrine administration: age < 10, non-white race, rural county of case origin, duration of transportation from scene, and presence of a paramedic. Results: A total of 504 patients met inclusion criteria, of which 471 demonstrated anaphylaxis as previously defined. A total of 153 patients with anaphylaxis received epinephrine (32.4%, 95% CI 28.3–36.9%). Age < 10 was associated with increased odds of not receiving epinephrine appropriately (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.85–4.54, p < 0.001). Other variables did not have statistically significant impact on epinephrine administration. Conclusion: There are missed opportunities for prehospital administration of epinephrine in pediatric patients with anaphylaxis. Very young children (age < 10) had increased odds for not receiving epinephrine.

description: One of the ambitious goals of artificial intelligence is to build a machine that outperforms human intelligence, even if limited knowledge and data are provided. Reinforcement Learning (RL) provides one such possibility to reach this goal. In this work, we consider a specific task from quantum physics, i.e. quantum state transfer in a one-dimensional spin chain. The mission for the machine is to find transfer schemes with fastest speeds while maintaining high transfer fidelities. The first scenario we consider is when the Hamiltonian is time-independent. We update the coupling strength by minimizing a loss function dependent on both the fidelity and the speed. Compared with a scheme proven to be at the quantum speed limit for the perfect state transfer, the scheme provided by RL is faster while maintaining the infidelity below $5\times 10^{-4}$. In the second scenario where a time-dependent external field is introduced, we convert the state transfer process into a Markov decision process that can be understood by the machine. We solve it with the deep Q-learning algorithm. After training, the machine successfully finds transfer schemes with high fidelities and speeds, which are faster than previously known ones. These results show that Reinforcement Learning can be a powerful tool for quantum control problems.

description: Spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of coordination compounds of CoII, NiII, ZnII, and PdII with phenylsulfonyl imidazole and benzimidazole derivatives (2-mfsiz, 2-mfsbz) were performed. The relevance of non-covalent interactions on the stabilization of intra and intermolecular arrangements in the ligands and their coordination compounds was investigated. The imidazole 2-mfsiz ligand presents two enantiomeric conformers, where the ethylphenylsulfone moiety stabilizes intermolecular lone pair···π (S–O···π(phe)) and H···π contacts, while its tetrahedral coordination compounds, [M(2-mfsiz)2X2] (M2+ = Co, Ni, Zn; X = Cl, Br) showed intramolecular lone pair···π interactions (S–O···π(iz)). On the other hand, compounds [Cu2(2-mfsiz)2(µ2-AcO)4] and trans-[Pd(2-mfsiz)2Cl2] do not present lone pair···π interactions due to the metal ion geometry (square base pyramidal or square planar), which leads to formation of π(iz)···π(phe) interactions. For the benzimidazole ligand 2-mfsbz, an intramolecular, H(phe)···π(bz) contact was observed, remaining in its tetrahedral and octahedral coordination compounds, [M(2-mfsbz)2X2] (M2+ = Co, Zn; X = Cl, Br, NO3). This interaction limits the free rotation of the ethylphenylsulfone moiety for stabilization of an intermolecular lone pair···π interaction (S–O···π(iz)). The dimeric [Zn2(2-mfsiz)2(µ2-AcO)4] compound has a π(bz)···π(phe) contact. Theoretical calculations confirmed the non-covalent interactions in the ligands and their coordination compounds.

description: The UK Parliament’s 2014 Care Act instituted a two-tier system to provide Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) Environmental Control (EC) systems for a diverse population of people recruited from patients with Cerebral Palsy, Stroke, Motor Neuron Disease (ALS) and other conditions. Provision became a statutory duty for local authorities, and regional Assistive Technology Hubs were established to meet the needs of clients with the most complex needs and to offer professional support for local services. This thesis is based on ethnographic fieldwork into the practices of assistive technology professionals at one of the newly established Regional Service Centres. It provides insight into the ways in which distributed assistive technology systems are commissioned, evaluated, designed, customised and delivered to meet the needs of a highly diverse and low-prevalence population of clients within one of England’s nine administrative regions. Assistive devices and systems are often seen as a distinct class of technologies, which specifically serve dis/abled people. Nevertheless, this thesis argues that to accommodate clients with complex needs, healthcare professionals had to problematise and rework some dominant assumptions about design, devices and users. Their efforts went into devising novel ways to circulate technologies, different from that of mainstream, commercial provision. This was all the more necessary because studying the clinicians’ work made evident implicit assumptions about the figures of design, device and use in relation to non-disabled individual and groups of users. The work of the Centre further revealed market relations entangled in technological figures of design, user and device, and the ways that those relations required reconfiguration throughout the process of assistive technology provision. By tracing these transformations, the thesis offers a study of the workings and limits of pervasive technological imaginaries and rationalities. The thesis contributes to Social Studies of Science and Technology and Disability Studies, by presenting a detailed case study of technological products and systems designed to promote the social participation and well-being of dis/abled people. Further, by linking and comparing mainstream and assistive technology practices, the thesis situates design and use in the wider relations of dis/ability and the market. This widens the theoretical and practical toolkit to comprehensively evaluate technological products and services and to better appreciate processes and effects of sociotechnical change, and opens the space to reimagine and transform practices of design to accommodate dis/abled and non-disabled people.

description: Transdiaphragmatic intrapericardial herniation (DIPH) of intra-abdominal organs is a rare but potentially life-threatening phenomenon often requiring urgent repair. There are currently no guidelines on the preferred repair technique in this situation. Retrospective case report with long-term follow-up. We describe a case in which the left liver herniated into the pericardium after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA). Urgent laparoscopic reduction of the liver herniation and repair of the large diaphragmatic defect was performed using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh in a 50 year old male patient. Hemodynamic instability normalized after the hernia reduction. The postoperative course was uneventful. CT-scan evaluation after 9 and 20 years of follow-up showed perfect integrity of the mesh. A laparoscopic approach for DIPH is feasible in emergency situations provided sufficient hemodynamic stability of the patient. On-lay ePTFE mesh repair is a valid option for such repairs. We illustrate the long-term durability and safety of ePTFE for DIPH repair in what seems to be by far the longest documented follow-up after laparoscopic ePTFE mesh repair for DIPH.

description: In this paper we carry out anisotropic "separate universe" simulations by including a large-scale tidal field in the N-body code \textsc{gadget}4 using an anisotropic expansion factor $A_{ij}$. We use the code in a pure \textit{particle-mesh} (PM) mode to simulate the evolution of 16 realizations of an initial density field with and without a large-scale tidal field, which are then used to measure the \textit{response function} describing how the tidal field influences structure formation in the linear and non-linear regimes. Together with the previously measured response to a large scale overdensity, this completely describes the nonlinear matter bispectrum in the squeezed limit. We find that, contrary to the density response, the tidal response never significantly exceeds the large-scale perturbation-theory prediction even on nonlinear scales for the redshift range we discuss. We develop a simple halo model that takes into account the effect of the tidal field and compare it with our direct measurement from the anisotropic N-body simulations.

X-ray Fluorescent Fe Kalpha Lines from Stellar Photospheres

description: X-ray spectra from stellar coronae are reprocessed by the underlying photosphere through scattering and photoionization events. While reprocessed X-ray spectra reaching a distant observer are at a flux level of only a few percent of that of the corona itself, characteristic lines formed by inner shell photoionization of some abundant elements can be significantly stronger. The emergent photospheric spectra are sensitive to the distance and location of the fluorescing radiation and can provide diagnostics of coronal geometry and abundance. Here we present Monte Carlo simulations of the photospheric Kalpha doublet arising from quasi-neutral Fe irradiated by a coronal X-ray source. Fluorescent line strengths have been computed as a function of the height of the radiation source, the temperature of the ionising X-ray spectrum, and the viewing angle. We also illustrate how the fluorescence efficiencies scale with the photospheric metallicity and the Fe abundance. Based on the results we make three comments: (1) fluorescent Fe lines seen from pre-main sequence stars mostly suggest flared disk geometries and/or super-solar disk Fe abundances; (2) the extreme ~1400 mA line observed from a flare on V1486 Ori can be explained entirely by X-ray fluorescence if the flare itself were partially eclipsed by the limb of the star; and (3) the fluorescent Fe line detected by Swift during a large flare on II Peg is consistent with X-ray excitation and does not require a collisional ionisation contribution. There is no convincing evidence supporting the energetically challenging explanation of electron impact excitation for observed stellar Fe Kalpha lines.

Linear arrays of non homogeneous Cu sites in the CuO2 plane, a new scenario for pairing mechanisms in a currugated-iron-like plane

description: Experimental results obtained by using x-ray absorption spectroscopy show that the configurations of Cu sites in the CuO2 plane of Bi 2:2:1:2 high Tc superconductors are not homogeneous. Different Cu sites are characterized by short 0.23 nm and long 0.245 nm Cu-O(apical) distances. The linear arrays of different Cu sites forming domains with a corrugated-iron like shape is proposed to be a key characteristic of superconducting domains in the CuO2 plane. The wavelength of the modulation is close to the superconducting coherence length. The ordering of the distorted Cu sites is suggested to be evidence for ordering of polarons driven by the pseudo Jahn Teller electron lattice interaction. The Cu L3 XAS experiments on Bi 2:2:1:2 system indicate that the electronic states added by doping, 4% have the a1 symmetry (i.e. with Cu 3d(3z2-r2), the combination of O (planar) 2px,y orbital with a1 symmetry L(a1), and O(apical) 2pz orbital character) and 15% have the b1 symmetry (3d(x2-y2) and the combination of O (planar) 2p(x,y) orbital with b1 symmetry L(b1)). This new scenario supports the pairing mechanisms for high Tc superconductivity in the presence of two components: 1) the more delocalized component with b1 symmetry and 2) the more localized component, with partially a1 symmetry associated with different parts of the Fermi surface.

Star-forming galaxies are predicted to lie on a fundamental plane of mass, star formation rate and α-enhancement

description: Observations show that star-forming galaxies reside on a tight three-dimensional plane between mass, gas-phase metallicity and star formation rate (SFR), which can be explained by the interplay between metal-poor gas inflows, SFR and outflows. However, different metals are released on different time-scales, which may affect the slope of this relation. Here, we use central, star-forming galaxies with M$_{\rm star}=10^{9.0-10.5}$ M$_{\odot}$ from the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation to examine three-dimensional relations between mass, SFR and chemical enrichment using absolute and relative C, N, O and Fe abundances. We show that the scatter is smaller when gas-phase $α$-enhancement is used rather than metallicity. A similar plane also exists for stellar $α$-enhancement, implying that present-day specific SFRs are correlated with long time-scale star formation histories. Between $z=0$ and 1, the $α$-enhancement plane is even more insensitive to redshift than the plane using metallicity. However, it evolves at $z>1$ due to lagging iron yields. At fixed mass, galaxies with higher SFRs have star formation histories shifted toward late times, are more $α$-enhanced and this $α$-enhancement increases with redshift as observed. These findings suggest that relations between physical properties inferred from observations may be affected by systematic variations in $α$-enhancements.
