description: El objeto de este texto es analizar el tratamiento dado en los juzgados de España a la víctima de violencia de género cuando ésta tiene la condición de mujer con discapacidad/dependencia abordando las limitaciones con las que se encuentra cuando debe hacer frente al procedimiento judicial. Existen multitud de barreras en los juzgados que van a separar de la igualdad a las mujeres víctimas de violencia durante la sustanciación del procedimiento judicial y, si además unimos la especificidad de ser mujer con discapacidad/dependencia, esas barreras son todavía mayores. Este texto resume el estudio de distintos asuntos gestionados por la que suscribe en relación a procedimientos penales de violencia de género cuya defensa se encomendó entre los años 2017 y 2018 en juzgados de Galicia (Pontevedra y Coruña). Se incluyen asimismo procedimientos civiles relacionados con violencia de género como divorcio, medidas paterno-filiales, etc. Se proponen algunas medidas/soluciones para paliar las deficiencias del sistema en los juzgados a partir de la experiencia con el grupo de participantes.

description: Autosomal dominant loss-of-function (LoF) variants in cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4) cause immune dysregulation with autoimmunity, immunodeficiency and lymphoproliferation (IDAIL). Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are characteristic of IDAIL caused by CTLA-4 haploinsufficiency (CTLA-4h), pointing to a role for genetic modifiers. Here, we describe an IDAIL proband carrying a maternally inherited pathogenic CTLA4 variant and a paternally inherited rare LoF missense variant in CLEC7A, which encodes for the β-glucan pattern recognition receptor DECTIN-1. The CLEC7A variant led to a loss of DECTIN-1 dimerization and surface expression. Notably, DECTIN-1 stimulation promoted human and mouse regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation from naïve αβ and γδ T cells, even in the absence of transforming growth factor-β. Consistent with DECTIN-1's Treg-boosting ability, partial DECTIN-1 deficiency exacerbated the Treg defect conferred by CTL4-4h. DECTIN-1/CLEC7A emerges as a modifier gene in CTLA-4h, increasing expressivity of CTLA4 variants and acting in functional epistasis with CTLA-4 to maintain immune homeostasis and tolerance.

description: We examine the prospects for supersymmetry discovery in the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model via indirect detection of neutralino dark matter. We investigate rates for muon detection in neutrino telescopes, and detection of photons, positrons and anti-protons by balloon and space based experiments. We compare the discovery reach in these channels with the reach for direct detection of dark matter, and also with the reach of collider experiments such as Fermilab Tevatron, CERN LHC and a $\sqrt{s}=0.5-1$ TeV linear $e^+e^-$ collider. We pay particular attention to regions of model parameter space in accord with recent WMAP results on the dark matter density of the universe. We find that the IceCube neutrino telescope as well as 3rd generation direct dark matter detection experiments should be able to cover the {\it entire} WMAP allowed portion of the hyperbolic branch/focus point (HB/FP) region of parameter space. This is in contrast to the case of the CERN LHC or a linear $e^+e^-$ collider, where only a fraction of the HB/FP region can be accessed. In addition, we show that detection of $γ$s, $e^+$s and $\bar{p}$s should occur in much of the HB/FP region, as well as in the low $m_{1/2}$ portion of the $A$ annihilation funnel, and will be complementary to searches via colliders in these regions.

description: Recent experiments support the idea that upper thermal limits of aquatic insects arise, at least in part, from a lack of sufficient oxygen: rising temperatures typically stimulate metabolic demand for oxygen more than they increase rates of oxygen supply from the environment. Consequently, factors influencing oxygen supply, like water flow, should also affect thermal and hypoxia tolerance. We tested this hypothesis by measuring the effects of experimentally manipulated flows on the heat and hypoxia tolerance of aquatic nymphs of the giant salmonfly (Plecoptera: Pteronarcys californica), a common stonefly in western North America. As predicted, stoneflies in flowing water (10 cm s−1) tolerated water that was approximately 4°C warmer and that contained approximately 15% less oxygen than did those in standing water. Our results imply that the impacts of climate change on streamflow, such as changes in patterns of precipitation, and decreased snowpack, will magnify the threats to aquatic insects from warmer water temperatures and lower oxygen levels.

description: Poly[Ɛ-CL-b-(MMA-comb-EMA)]comb-type polymers were synthesized by ATRP and Ɛ-caprolactone macroinitiator and macromonomer. Methyl methacrylate macromonomer was synthesized from acylation reaction of methacryloyl chloride with PMMA ended 7-hydroxy coumarin. The macroinitiator was prepared from the reaction of chlorine acetyl chloride P(Ɛ-CL). The synthesized polymers were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR techniques. The average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of polymers were measured by GPC method. Thermal properties of samples were studied by DSC/TGA techniques. Dielectric and Ac conductivity measurements were performed. Dielectric constant (ɛˈ), dielectric loss factor (ɛˈˈ) and conductivity behaviors of comb-type polymer were measured at room temperature between the frequency of 100–2000 Hz and over the temperature range 303–413 K at 1 kHz reported as compared with each other. Besides, their effects on the electrical properties by doping with EuCl3 for some of the comb copolymers were and were investigated. The activation energy (Ea) was calculated from conductivity. We reported it was determined that the (ɛˈ) and (ɛˈˈ) values decreased with increasing frequency. There are also many application areas for comb polymers for example; nanotechnology, medicine. The aim of this study is to synthesize comb-type copolymers in different compositions and to investigate their electrical properties.

description: Introdução: A presença de fibras nervosas mielinizadas na retina está descrita em cerca de 1% da população. Os doentes são habitualmente assintomáticos, embora possam coexistir outras alterações oculares como miopia e ambliopia. Material e Métodos: Descrevem-se 3 casos de crianças com fibras nervosas retinianas mielinizadas unilaterais, associadas a miopia e ambliopia. Resultados: A idade das crianças variou entre 1 e 7 anos. O olho afectado foi o olho direito. A melhor acuidade visual corrigida do olho afectado variou entre 1/10 e 8/10; uma das crianças apresentava uma ambliopia ligeira e duas crianças apresentavam ambiopia grave. Os erros refractivos variaram entre -9,00D e -3,00D. A anisometropia variou entre 10D e 3D.Foi realizado o tratamento da ambliopia com oclusão. No caso 1 a acuidade visual do olho direito melhorou para 10/10. No caso 2 não foi efectuado follow up por abandono da consulta. No caso 3 a acuidade visual do olho direito melhorou para 2/10 após 12 meses de oclusão. As lesões descritas na retina não progrediram. Discussão: A miopia ocorre em olhos com mielinização extensa das fibras nervosas. Permanece a dúvida se esta mielinização é causa ou resultado da miopia. A causa de ambliopia nestes doentes gera controvérsia, podendo ser anisomiópica ou secundária a alterações estruturais da retina e/ou nervo óptico pelas fibras mielinizadas. A gravidade da ambliopia e da anisometropia poderá correlacionar-se com o sucesso terapêutico, o que está de acordo com os nossos resultados. Conclusão: Apesar do prognóstico reservado salienta-se a importância do exame oftalmológico completo, correcção óptica adequada e tratamento da ambliopia nestes doentes.

description: A two-stage sample of airphoto prints and point sampling was used to examine changes in land use patterns in 53 selected counties that had grown rapidly and substantially in population between 1960 and 1970. Point sampling, 20 points per square mile, was used on a sample of airphoto prints approximating 15 percent of the land area to study 12 categories of rural and urban land use. This approach evolved from experience with different scales of photos, areal samples of photos, random traverses, and point sampling in varying combination. This technique, an inexpensive one, resulted in data that satisfactorily correlated with comparable data from other sources and provided detail on the dynamics of land use change.

description: We use a distorted wave approximation approach which includes $^3P_0$ and $^3S_1$ quark-antiquark annihilation mechanisms to reproduce the data set from LEAR on $\bar p p\to π^+π^-$ in the range from 360 to 1550 MeV/c. Improvements of the model are sought by implementing final-state interactions of the pions and by observing that the annihilation is too short-ranged in earlier attempts to describe the data. While the former improvement is due to to the final-state $ππ$ wave functions solely, the latter one originates from quark wave functions for proton, antiproton, and pions with radii slightly larger than the respective measured charge radii. This increase in hadron radius, as compared with typically much smaller radii used before in the quark model, increases the annihilation range and thereby the amplitudes for $J\ge2$ are much higher. Finally, given the very high kinetic energy of the final pions, we investigate the role of relativistic corrections in the pion wave functions when boosted into the center-of-mass frame.

description: Introdução: Uma complicação das doenças oculares inflamatórias é a neovascularização coroideia (NVC). Apesar de ser rara, é uma causa importante de perda de visão nestes doentes. As opções terapêuticas incluem, além do tratamento dirigido à doença inflamatória, a fotocoagulação a LASER, terapia fotodinâmina com verteporfina (TFD) e, mais recentemente, agentes farmacológicos anti-VEGF. Objectivo: Analisar uma série de 10 casos de NVC de etiologia inflamatória. Métodos: Os autores descrevem uma série de 10 casos (10 olhos) de NVC de causa inflamatória. Os parâmetros analisados incluem: etiologia da uveíte, localização da NVC, evolução das acuidades visuais e da espessura macular central (EMC) após TFD ou injecção intravítrea (IV) de fármacos anti-VEGF (bevacizumab ou ranibizumab). Resultados: Na série apresentada, a coroidite multifocal surge como a etiologia mais frequente. Apenas um doente apresentava NVC extrafoveal (justapapilar), sendo que 5 apresentavam NVC justafoveal e 4 NVC subfoveal. Seis doentes foram tratados com IV anti-VEGF, com uma média de 3 IV e quatro doentes foram submetidos a TFD, com uma média de 2 sessões. No grupo tratado com IV, assistiu-se a melhoria das acuidades visuais em 5 casos. No grupo tratado com TFD verificou-se melhoria da AV em 2 doentes e a manutenção da mesma acuidade visual em 2 doentes. Observou-se uma diminuição da EMC em todos os doentes, sendo esta mais marcada no grupo tratado com IV anti-VEGF. Discussão / Conclusão: A NVC é uma complicação grave das doenças inflamatórias, para a qual não existem guidelines de tratamento. Apesar de a nossa amostra ser pequena, os resultados parecem mostrar um bom outcome nos doentes tratados com IV anti-VEGF, sugerindo assim que esta é uma opção terapêutica importante para estes doentes. Enfatizamos a importância da realização de estudos multicêntricos, randomizados e controlados para validar esta opção terapêutica.

description: We show that, under weak assumptions, the automorphism group of a ${\rm CAT(0)}$ cube complex $X$ coincides with the automorphism group of Hagen's contact graph $\mathcal{C}(X)$. The result holds, in particular, for universal covers of Salvetti complexes, where it provides an analogue of Ivanov's theorem on curve graphs of non-sporadic surfaces. This highlights a contrast between contact graphs and Kim-Koberda extension graphs, which have much larger automorphism group. We also study contact graphs associated to Davis complexes of right-angled Coxeter groups. We show that these contact graphs are less well-behaved and describe exactly when they have more automorphisms than the universal cover of the Davis complex.

description: Recent studies have indicated that the coarse grained dynamics of a large class of traffic models and driven-diffusive systems may be described by urn models. We consider a class of one-dimensional urn models whereby particles hop from an urn to its nearest neighbor by a rate which decays with the occupation number k of the departure site as (1+b/k). In addition a diffusion process takes place, whereby all particles in an urn may hop to an adjacent one with some rate alpha$. Condensation transition which may take place in this model is studied and the (b,alpha) phase diagram is calculated within the mean field approximation and by numerical simulations. A driven-diffusive model whose coarse grained dynamics corresponds to this urn model is considered.

description: The zinc oxide nanomaterials (ZnO-NMs), owing to their broad biomedical applications have lately attracted the incredible interest in the development of therapeutic agents against microbial infections. In this contribution, we have biosynthesized ZnO-NMs with a size of ˜ 40 nm from the Bougainvillea flower extracts. The FTIR and SEM-EDX mapping analysis confirmed the size, shape and biogenic origin of ZnO-NPs. Furthermore, the purified ZnO-NMs were applied for antibacterial studies against susceptible and resistant bacterial strains and to elucidate the possible mechanism of their activity. The XTT assay and confocal imaging confirmed the ZnO-NMs materials anti-biofilm activities against medically important pathogens, i.e., S. aureus and E. coli. Moreover, the absence of cytotoxicity against healthy kidney cells (HEK-293) and erythrocytes confirmed their biocompatible nature. Furthermore, the biosynthesized ZnO-NMs showed potent anticancer activity against the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). These biosynthesized ZnO-NMs are having excellent antimicrobial and anticancer activities and are highly biocompatible due to biogenic nature. During antimicrobial study, Zno-NMs showed excellent minimum inhibitory concentration 16 μg concentration againt E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. While in anticancer activity, of ZnO-NMs with 15 μg/ml dose showed good response against MCF-7 cell line. Further, this killing was mechanically confirmed by ROS generation by the ZnO-NMs, which cause cell lysis by the peroxidation of membrane lipid. So, this biogenic ZnO-NMs can be used in the future for nanomaterial-based drug development.

description: Objetivos: Avaliar as características clínicas de um grupo de doentes com paralisia do VI par craniano submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico e respetivos resultados. Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo de 12 doentes do IOGP com o diagnóstico de paralisia do VI par craniano, tratados cirurgicamente. Avaliaram-se: idade de diagnóstico; etiologia; dominância ou não dominância do olho afetado; tratamento anterior com toxina botulínica tipo A (TBA); desvio pl e pp, diplopia, torcicolo e grau de limitação da abdução antes e após cirurgia; tipo de cirurgia realizado; necessidade de reintervenção ou de prismas. Resultados: A idade média de diagnóstico foi: 57,33 anos. Todos os doentes foram submetidos a tratamento prévio com TBA. A média dos desvios pl e pp antes da cirurgia foi: 42,17 DP BE e 35,33 DP BE, respetivamente. 6 doentes foram submetidos a cirurgia de transposição muscular, 4 doentes a cirurgia de recessão-resseção e num doente foi efetuada cirurgia de recessão-plissamento. Um dos doentes teve como complicação cirúrgica a rotura do músculo reto interno, não tendo sido cumprida a cirurgia de suplência muscular proposta. Em 8 doentes (66,67%) verificou-se sucesso terapêutico. Em 10 casos (83,33%) houve melhoria da abdução. Houve necessidade de reintervenção em 4 doentes (33,33%), num dos quais por recidiva. Conclusões: A TBA tem um papel importante no diagnóstico de paralisia versus paresia do VI par craniano. Quando se verifica paralisia completa do músculo reto externo, a cirurgia de suplência muscular é eficaz em aumentar o campo de visão binocular sem diplopia, não restituindo a abdução completa.

description: Experimental observations suggest that proteins follow different pathways under different environmental conditions. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of a model of the SH3 domain over a broad range of temperatures, and identify distinct pathways in the folding transition. We determine the kinetic partition temperature --the temperature for which the SH3 domain undergoes a rapid folding transition with minimal kinetic barriers-- and observe that below this temperature the model protein may undergo a folding transition via multiple folding pathways. The folding kinetics is characterized by slow and fast pathways and the presence of only one or two intermediates. Our findings suggest the hypothesis that the SH3 domain, a protein for which only two-state folding kinetics was observed in previous experiments, may exhibit intermediates states under extreme experimental conditions, such as very low temperatures. A very recent report (Viguera et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 100:5730--5735, 2003) of an intermediate in the folding transition of the Bergerac mutant of the alpha-spectrin SH3 domain protein supports this hypothesis.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Context: The Crab pulsar underwent its largest timing glitch on 2017 Nov 8. The event was discovered at radio wavelengths, and was followed at soft X-ray energies by observatories, such as XPNAV and NICER. aims: This work aims to compare the glitch behavior at the two wavelengths mentioned above. Preliminary work in this regard has been done by the X-ray satellite XPNAV. NICER with its far superior sensitivity is expected to reveal much more detailed behavior. methods: NICER has accumulated more than $301$ kilo seconds of data on the Crab pulsar, equivalent to more than $3.3$ billion soft X-ray photons. These data were first processed using the standard NICER analysis pipeline. Then the arrival times of the X-ray photons were referred to the solar system's barycenter. Then specific analysis was done to study the specific behavior outlined in the following sections, while taking dead time into account. results: The variation of the rotation frequency of the Crab pulsar and its time derivative during the glitch is almost exactly similar at the radio and X-ray energies. The following properties of the Crab pulsar remain essentially constant before and after the glitch: the total X-ray flux; the flux, widths, and peaks of the two components of its integrated profile; and the soft X-ray spectrum. There is no evidence for giant pulses at X-ray energies. However, the timing noise of the Crab pulsar shows quasi sinusoidal variation before the glitch, with increasing amplitude, which is absent after the glitch. conclusions: Even the strongest glitch in the Crab pulsar appears not to affect all but one of the properties mentioned above, at either frequency. The fact that the timing noise appears to change due to the glitch is an important clue to unravel as this is still an unexplained phenomenon.

description: Summary Retinitis can be caused by a number of reasons, namely infectious or autoimmune, and the correct diagnosis is fundamental in order to provide the best treatment and to prevent irreversible visual loss. We report a case of a young healthy man who presented with bilateral multifocal retinitis with perilesional vascular involvement following a febrile period and a cutaneous rash. Despite some initial pitfalls, a diagnosis of Rickettsia conorii was finally made and appropriate treatment was provided. To our knowledge, this is one of the few reported cases of posterior uveitis due to rickettsiosis in which rare ocular complications are seen, including bilateral macular edema with foveal detachment and macular star development, and in which treatment with systemic corticosteroids was provided due to sight-threatening lesions. Key-words: Rickettsia, conorii, uveitis, retinitis, rash Resumo Um quadro de retinite pode ter diversas causas, nomeadamente infecciosas ou auto-imunes, sendo o diagnóstico correcto fundamental para o melhor tratamento e prevenção de perda visual irreversível. Comunicamos o caso de um homem saudável que se apresentou com um quadro de retinite bilateral multifocal com envolvimento vascular perilesional após um período febril e exantema cutâneo. Após algumas dificuldades iniciais, o diagnóstico de infecção por Rickettsia conorii foi estabelecido e administrado o devido tratamento. Para o nosso conhecimento, este é um dos poucos casos publicados de uveíte posterior secundária a rickettsiose no qual se verificaram complicações oculares raras, incluindo edema macular bilateral com descolamento neurossensorial da fóvea e desenvolvimento de estrela macular, e para as quais se recorreu também a corticoterapia sistémica devido ao risco elevado de perda visual.

The X-ray jet bends sharply--by ~90 deg., presumably amplified by projection effects--5'' from the core. Only extremely weak radio emission is detected between the nuclear region and the bend. The X-ray continuum spectrum of the combined emission of the knots is rather flat, with a slope of $-0.4\pm 0.2$, while the 5-15 GHz spectra are steeper for knots detected in the radio. These characteristics, as well as non-detection of the jet in the optical band by the Hubble Space Telescope, pose challenges to models for the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the jet features. The SEDs could arise from pure synchrotron emission from either a single or dual population of relativistic electrons only if the minimum electron energy per unit mass $γ_{\min} \gtrsim 1000$. Alternatively, the X-ray emission could result from inverse Compton scattering of the Cosmic Microwave Background photons by electrons with Lorentz factors as low as $γ\sim 15$. In all models, the bulk Lorentz factor of the jet flow $Γ\gtrsim 20$ found on parsec scales must continue without substantial deceleration out to 800 kpc (deprojected) from the nucleus. Deceleration does appear to occur at and beyond the sharp bend, such that the flow could be only mildly relativistic at the end of the jet.

description: The continuously increasing incidence rates of cancer and infectious diseases are open threats to the sustainable survival of animals and humans. In the last two decades, the demands of nanomaterials as modern therapeutic agents have increased. In this study, biogenic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were developed from aqueous Pandanus odorifer leaf extract (POLE) and characterized using modern methods and tools, such as electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy, which indicated the formation of very pure, spherical NPs approximately 90 nm in size. The anticancer activity of the ZnO NPs was evaluated by MTT and neutral red uptake (NRU) assays in MCF-7, HepG2 and A-549 cells at different doses (1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 μg ml−1). Moreover, the morphology of the treated cancer cells was examined by phase contrast microscopy. The results suggest that the synthesized ZnO NPs inhibited the growth of the cells when applied a concentration from 50–100 μg ml−1. Moreover, the biogenic ZnO NPs were analysed as an antimicrobial agent against pathogenic bacteria. The highest antibacterial activity was observed against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis (26 nm) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (24 mm) at 50 μg per well. Complete bacterial growth (100%) vanished 100% upon treatment with ZnO NPs at 85 μg ml−1. Overall, POLE mediated derived biogenic ZnO NPs could serve as a significant anticancer and antimicrobial agent and be used in the development of novel drugs and skin care products

description: Assessing the user experience (UX) while being immersed in a virtual environment (VE) is crucial to obtain insights about the quality and vividness of the experience created by virtual reality (VR) systems. These valuable insights are necessary to understand a user's response to VEs and, therefore, to advance in VR research. However, a standardized and effective measure for assessing UX is still missing. Consequently, this lack of suitable measures hinders researchers to gain knowledge and understanding about the effects of VEs on users and in turn slows down the progress in VR technology. To tackle this problem, we propose a behavioral measure for assessing UX based on a phenomenon known as the Proteus effect, which describes changes in behavior and attitude due to the embodiment of avatars with stereotypical characteristics. As avatars are a crucial part of an immersive experience, the extent of behavioral changes caused by the embodiment of avatars may pose an opportunity to implicitly quantify the UX of a VE. This paper discusses an alternative behavioral measure and contributes to the debate about suitable methods for assessing UX in VR systems.

description: The flux, polarimetric and spectral response of phased array radio telescopes with no moving parts such as LOFAR is known to vary considerably with orientation of the source to the receivers. Calibration models exist for this dependency such as those that are used in the LOFAR pipeline. Presented here is a system for comparing the predicted outputs from any given model with the results of an observation. In this paper, a sample observation of a bright source, Cassiopeia A, is used to demonstrate the software in operation, by providing an observation and a model of that observation which can be compared with one another. The package presented here is flexible to allow it to be used with other models and sources. The system operates by first calculating the predictions of the model and the results of an observation of linear fluxes and Stokes parameters separately. The model and observed values are then joined using the variables common to both, time and frequency. Normalisation and RFI excision are carried out and the differences between the prediction and the observation are calculated. A wide selection of 2-, 3- and 4-dimensional plots are generated to illustrate the dependence of the model and the observation as well as the difference between them on independent parameters time, frequency, altitude and azimuth. Thus, beamModelTester provides a framework by which it is possible to calibrate and propose refinements to models and to compare models with one another.

description: A new method of pseudo-state discretization is proposed for the method of continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) to deal with three-body breakup processes. We propose real- and complex-range Gaussian bases for the pseudo-state wave functions, and show that they form in good approximation a complete set in the configuration space which is important for breakup processes. Continuous S-matrix elements are derived with the approximate completeness from discrete ones calculated by CDCC. Accuracy of the method is tested quantitatively for two realistic examples, d+$^{58}$Ni scattering at 80 MeV and $^{6}$Li+$^{40}$Ca scattering at 156 MeV with the satisfactory results. Possibility of application of the method to four-body breakup processes is also discussed.

description: RESUMO A doença de Buerger é uma vasculopatia inflamatória oclusiva que afecta os vasos de pequeno e médio calibre, sobretudo arteriais, das extremidades e que está associada ao tabagismo. O envolvimento visceral é pouco frequente e as complicações oculares são ainda mais raras, eventualmente caracterizadas por oclusões vasculares retinianas. Reportamos o caso de um doente com doença de Buerger com diversas complicações sistémicas associadas que se apresentou com diminuição progressiva e bilateral da acuidade visual. À observação oftalmológica, registou-se uma atrofia coriorretiniana difusa em ambos os olhos com marcado prolongamento do tempo braço-retina na angiografia fluoresceínica. O doente negou quaisquer antecedentes familiares compatíveis com distrofias coriorretinianas. Para o nosso conhecimento, este é o primeiro caso publicado de doença de Buerger com complicações oculares graves associadas. Palavras chave: Buerger, coriorretiniana, atrofia, vasculopatia, oclusão ABSTRACT Buerger's disease is an occlusive inflammatory vasculopathy of the small and medium-sized vessels, predominantly arterial, of the extremities largely associated with smoking. Visceral involvement is uncommon and ocular complications are even rarer, possibly characterized by retinal vascular occlusions. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with Buerger's disease with important systemic vascular involvement who presented with progressive bilateral visual acuity decrease. Careful ophthalmological examination revealed a diffuse chorioretinal atrophy in both eyes and markedly delayed arm-to-retina time in fluorescein angiography. There was no family history of retinal dystrophies. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Buerger's disease with such dramatic ocular manifestations.

description: We argue that Poisson statistics in logarithmic time provides an idealized description of non-equilibrium configurational rearrangements in aging glassy systems. The description puts stringent requirements on the geometry of the metastable attractors visited at age $t_w$. Analytical implications for the residence time distributions as a function of $t_w$ and the correlation functions are derived. These are verified by extensive numerical studies of short range Ising spin glasses.

description: Machine-learning driven models have proven to be powerful tools for the identification of phases of matter. In particular, unsupervised methods hold the promise to help discover new phases of matter without the need for any prior theoretical knowledge. While for phases characterized by a broken symmetry, the use of unsupervised methods has proven to be successful, topological phases without a local order parameter seem to be much harder to identify without supervision. Here, we use an unsupervised approach to identify topological phases and transitions out of them. We train artificial neural nets to relate configurational data or measurement outcomes to quantities like temperature or tuning parameters in the Hamiltonian. The accuracy of these predictive models can then serve as an indicator for phase transitions. We successfully illustrate this approach on both the classical Ising gauge theory as well as on the quantum ground state of a generalized toric code.
