Inhomogeneous reduction-annealing effects on the electron-doped cuprate superconductor Pr1.3-x La0.7CexCuO4 (x=0.08) revealed by microfocused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

The development of the protect-annealing method has extended the superconductivity of the electron-doped cuprate Pr1.3-xLa0.7CexCuO4 (PLCCO) into lower Ce concentrations, while the superconducting volume fraction decreases with underdoping. Employing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with a microfocused beam, we investigated the electronic structure of protect-annealed PLCCO (x=0.08) with

Αποτελεί η Κίνα κομμάτι του κόσμου;Αυτή η ερώτηση, παρά τον φαινομενικά ρητορικό της χαρακτήρα, αντικατοπτρίζει μια βαθιά ριζωμένη αντί­ληψη που κυριαρχεί σε μεγάλο μέρος του πολιτικού, δημοσιο­γραφικού και δημόσιου λόγου στη Δύση: ότι η Κίνα αποτελεί το «θεμελιωδώς διαφορετικό Άλλο», αποκομμένο από τον «πραγ­ματικό» κόσμο. Παρά τη σαραντάχρονη ενσωμάτωσή της στο παγκόσμιο κοινωνικοοικονομικό σύστ

Land Use as a Climate Forcing in Europe Over the Last 7,000 Years: A Review

The biogeophysical forcing resulting from the change in land-surface properties (such as albedo) is of particular interest as it can increase, decrease, or offset the biogeochemical forcing resulting from the changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations due to deforestation, forest management, or reforestation/afforestation (i.e., land-use/land-cover change, LULCC). Moreover, the biogeophy

Observational Health Data Analysis of the Cardiovascular Adverse Events of Systemic Treatment in Patients with Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer : Big Data Analytics Using the PIONEER Platform

Background and objective: Although cardiovascular toxicity from modern systemic treatments in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) remains a concern, real-world data are limited. We aimed to characterise patients treated for mHSPC across multiple large cohorts and estimate cardiovascular adverse event (AE) risks. Methods: Leveraging PIONEER's Big Data platform, with databases stand

Boosting aerosol surface effects : strongly enhanced cooperative surface propensity of atmospherically relevant organic molecular ions in aqueous solution

The effects of atmospheric aerosols are key uncertainties in climate models. One reason is the complex aerosol composition which includes a relatively large fraction of organics. Another reason is the small size of aerosols, which makes surface effects and processes important. These two factors make surface-active organics relevant for atmospheric aerosols, as they can affect crucial processes, su

The Accuracy Cost of Weakness : A Theoretical Analysis of Fixed-Segment Weak Labeling for Events in Time

Accurate labels are critical for deriving robust machine learning models. Labels are used to train supervised learning models and to evaluate most machine learning paradigms. In this paper, we model the accuracy and cost of a common weak labeling process where annotators assign presence or absence labels to fixed-length data segments for a given event class. The annotator labels a segment as "pres

Incident benzodiazepine and Z-drug use and subsequent risk of alcohol- and drug-related problems : A nationwide matched cohort study with co-twin comparison

Background: Despite considerable interest in the consequences of benzodiazepine and benzodiazepine-related Z-drug (BZDR) use, little is known about whether and how initiation of BZDR treatment relates to the development of alcohol- and drug-related problems. Aims: This study aimed to examine the association of incident BZDR dispensing with subsequent alcohol- and drug-related problems. Methods: Th

DELTA : Dense Depth from Events and LiDAR Using Transformer's Attention

Event cameras and LiDARs provide complementary yet distinct data: respectively, asynchronous detections of changes in lighting versus sparse but accurate depth information at a fixed rate. To this day, few works have explored the combination of these two modalities. In this article, we propose a novel neural-network-based method for fusing event and LiDAR data in order to estimate dense depth maps

Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)

Many animals undergo irreversible ontogenetic color changes (OCCs), yet these changes are often overlooked despite their potential ethological relevance. The problem is compounded when OCCs involve wavelengths invisible to humans. Wall lizards can perceive ultraviolet (UV) light, and their conspicuous ventral and ventrolateral coloration—including UV-reflecting patched—likely serves social communi

Promoting Prevention and Targeting Remission of Asthma : A EUFOREA Consensus Statement on Raising the Bar in Asthma Care

Asthma is a common, multifaceted respiratory disease with a major impact on quality of life. Despite increased insights into mechanisms underlying various asthma phenotypes and endotypes and the availability of targeted biologic treatment options, the disease remains uncontrolled in a substantial proportion of patients with risk of exacerbations, requiring systemic corticosteroids, and with progre

Variability of Holocene dust dynamics in the Carpathian and Wallachian Basin

Fine-grained windblown deposits (loess) in which fossil soils (palaeosols) are preserved are excellent records of past climate. However, so far paleoclimate reconstruction studies conducted on such loess-palaeosol sequences (LPS) in SE Europe were focused on the climate changes of the last one or two glacial-interglacial cycles, while almost no attention has been directed to the climate of the cur

Dust mass accumulation rates calculated for the Surduk loess profile, Serbia

Normally, the measurement limit for luminescence analysis of quartz is 50-70 ka with the most widely used single aliquot regeneration (SAR) protocol, consequently, the dating of MIS 3 and MIS 4 samples or older is problematic using quartz. However, recent studies propose that the sensitivity-corrected multiple aliquot regenerative dose (SMAR) measurement technique has the potential to extend the d

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Clinical Impact of Prophylactic Quinolones with Adjuvant Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Instillation for Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) reduces disease recurrence and progression in intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). BCG-associated adverse events during instillations are common, leading to treatment cessation. Prophylactic use of quinolones in conjunction with BCG instillations is one approach for reducing BCG-associated adverse events. O

Succession from fluvial to aeolian environment recorded at westernmost part of the Wallachian basin, Serbia

The Danube fluvial terrace in Velika Vrbica is situated at the westernmost edge of the Wallachian basin, Serbia. The profile is positioned in a gully valley with a base consisting of point bar sands interlayered with overbank clay deposits, which are together covered by loess sediments. The investigated loess-paleosol sequence (LPS) has a height of 11.15 m and has been sampled at 5 cm intervals fo

Do quality of life and work productivity change in early axial spondyloarthritis and non-axial spondyloarthritis patients after 2 years?

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity in axial SpA (axSpA) and non-axSpA patients with chronic back pain of <2 years. Methods: Baseline and 2-year data for patients included in the SPondyloArthritis Caught Early cohort were analysed. HRQoL was assessed by the physical (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores of the

On the existence of prewetting in supracritical fluid mixtures

We demonstrate the existence of a first-order prewetting transition of a supracritical model polymer solution adjacent to an attractive surface. The model fluid we use mimics (qualitatively) an aqueous polyethylene oxide solution and, like the actual solution, displays a closed loop 2-phase region with an upper and lower critical solution temperature. The model fluid is shown to undergo a prewetti

Insect Herbivory Releases More Nutrients in Warmer and Drier Forests

Climate, forest successional stage, and soil substrate age can alter herbivore communities and their effects on biogeochemical cycling, but the size and spatial variability of these effects are poorly quantified. To address this knowledge gap, we established a globally distributed network of 50 broadleaved old-growth forests across six continents, encompassing well-constrained local-scale gradient

Mother-infant interactions in the lab setting : Collaborative participation frameworks and task orientation

The study discussed in this article aimed to understanding how pre-activity formulations are designed and accomplished by mothers in play interactions as everyday interactional business. Here, we report specifically on instances during the lab-based interactions where the mother orients to the lab-based task of singing with their infant, and discuss potential implications of such participant orien
