Patients were classified into three groups according to their treatment: an observation group, a radiation therapy (RT) group, and a rituximab group (rituximab with or without chemotherapy). We analyzed overall survival (OS), overall, local, and systemic relapse-free survival (RFS), and adverse events after treatment.Results: This study included 15 patients (22 eyes). The 10-year OS was 100%. The 2-, 5-, and 10-year overall RFS rates were 80.1%, 41.2%, and 41.2% in all patients, respectively. The 2- and 5-year local RFS rates in the observation group were 100% and 0%, respectively. The 2-, 5-, and 10-year local RFS rates were 87%, 87%, and 87% in the RT group and 83%, 67%, and 67% in the rituximab group, respectively. The 2- and 5-year systemic RFS rates in the observation group were both 100%, and the 2-, 5-, and 10-year systemic RFS rates were 92%, 55%, and 55% in the RT group, and 100%, 60%, and 60% in the rituximab group, respectively. After RT, 53.3% of the eyes developed cataracts and 75% of these were treated with cataract surgery. In addition, 53.3% of the eyes developed dry eyes and were treated with eye drops. Rituximab with or without chemotherapy resulted in some systemic adverse events, but these improved following symptomatic therapies.Conclusion: RT resulted in good local control of conjunctival MALT lymphoma; however, systemic relapse may occur during long-term follow-up. Local and/or systemic relapse may also occur during long-term follow-up in patients treated by observation or rituximab with or without chemotherapy. Patients with conjunctival MALT lymphoma should be followed-up carefully for as long as possible after treatment.Keywords: conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, overall survival, relapse-free survival

Abstract

The momentum correlation functions of S = -2 baryon pairs (p Xi^- and Lambda Lambda) produced in high-energy pp and pA collisions are investigated on the basis of the coupled-channel formalism. The strong interaction is described by the coupled-channel HAL QCD potential obtained by the lattice QCD simulations near physical quark masses, while the hadronic source function is taken to be a static Gaussian form. The coupled-channel effect, the threshold difference, the realistic strong interaction, and the Coulomb interaction are fully taken into account for the first time in the femtoscopic analysis of baryon-baryon correlations. The characteristic features of the experimental data for the p Xi^- and Lambda Lambda pairs at LHC are reproduced quantitatively with a suitable choice of non-femtoscopic parameters and the source size. The agreement between theory and experiment indicates that the N Xi (Lambda Lambda) interaction is moderately (weakly) attractive without having a quasi-bound (bound) state., Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures

Abstract

As a new method to determine the resonance frequency, Rabi-oscillation spectroscopy has been developed. In contrast to the conventional spectroscopy which draws the resonance curve, Rabi-oscillation spectroscopy fits the time evolution of the Rabi oscillation. By selecting the optimized frequency, it is shown that the precision is twice as good as the conventional spectroscopy with a frequency sweep. Furthermore, the data under different conditions can be treated in a unified manner, allowing more efficient measurements for systems consisting of a limited number of short-lived particles produced by accelerators such as muons. We have developed a fitting function that takes into account the spatial distribution of muonium and the spatial distribution of the microwave intensity to apply the new method to ground-state muonium hyperfine structure measurements at zero field. This was applied to the actual measurement data and the resonance frequencies were determined under various conditions. The result of our analysis gives $\nu_{\rm HFS}=4\ 463\ 301.61 \pm 0.71\ {\rm kHz}$, which is the world's highest precision under zero field conditions., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

We investigate a way to suppress high-frequency coupling between a gate and low-dimensional electron systems in the gigahertz range by measuring the velocity of edge magnetoplasmons (EMPs) in InAs quantum Hall systems.We compare the EMPvelocity in three samples with different electromagnetic environments-one has a highly resistive zinc oxide (ZnO) top gate, another has a normal metal (Ti/Au) top gate, and the other does not have a gate. The measured EMP velocity in the ZnO gate sample is one order of magnitude larger than that in the Ti/Au gate sample and almost the same as that in the ungated sample. As is well known, the smaller velocity in the Ti/Au gate sample is due to the screening of the electric field in EMPs. The suppression of the gate screening effect in the ZnO gate sample allows us to measure the velocity of unscreened EMPs while changing the electron density. It also offers a way to avoid unwanted high-frequency coupling between quantum Hall edge channels and gate electrodes.

Abstract

Experimental evidence exists that the $\Xi$-nucleus interaction is attractive. We search for $NN\Xi$ and $NNN\Xi$ bound systems on the basis of the AV8 $NN$ potential combined with either a phenomenological Nijmegen $\Xi N$ potential or a first principles HAL QCD $\Xi N$ potential. The binding energies of the three-body and four-body systems (below the $d+\Xi$ and $^3{\rm H}$/$^3{\rm He}+\Xi$ thresholds, respectively) are calculated by a high precision variational approach, the Gaussian Expansion Method. Although the two $\Xi N$ potentials have significantly different isospin ($T$) and spin ($S$) dependence, the $NNN\Xi$ system with quantum numbers $(T=0, J^{\pi}=1^+$) appears to be bound (one deep for Nijmegen and one shallow for HAL QCD) below the $^3{\rm H}$/$^3{\rm He}+\Xi$ threshold. Experimental implications for such a state are discussed., Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, preprint

Abstract

This paper introduces a new approach to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly $a_{\mu} = (g-2)/2$, and the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) $d_{\mu}$ at the J-PARC muon facility. The goal of our experiment is to measure $a_{\mu}$ and $d_{\mu}$ using an independent method with a factor of 10 lower muon momentum, and a factor of 20 smaller diameter storage-ring solenoid compared with previous and ongoing muon $g-2$ experiments with unprecedented quality of the storage magnetic field. Additional significant differences from the present experimental method include a factor of 1,000 smaller transverse emittance of the muon beam (reaccelerated thermal muon beam), its efficient vertical injection into the solenoid, and tracking each decay positron from muon decay to obtain its momentum vector. The precision goal for $a_{\mu}$ is statistical uncertainty of 450 part per billion (ppb), similar to the present experimental uncertainty, and a systematic uncertainty less than 70 ppb. The goal for EDM is a sensitivity of $1.5\times 10^{-21}~e\cdot\mbox{cm}$., Comment: 24 pages, 14 figures

Abstract

The Technical Design for the COMET Phase-I experiment is presented in this paper. COMET is an experiment at J-PARC, Japan, which will search for neutrinoless conversion of muons into electrons in the field of an aluminium nucleus ($\mu-e$ conversion, $\mu^- N \to e^- N$); a lepton flavor violating process. The experimental sensitivity goal for this process in the Phase-I experiment is $3.1\times10^{-15}$, or 90 % upper limit of branching ratio of $7\times 10^{-15}$, which is a factor of 100 improvement over the existing limit. The expected number of background events is 0.032. To achieve the target sensitivity and background level, the 3.2 kW 8 GeV proton beam from J-PARC will be used. Two types of detectors, CyDet and StrECAL, will be used for detecting the \mue conversion events, and for measuring the beam-related background events in view of the Phase-II experiment, respectively. Results from simulation on signal and background estimations are also described., Comment: A minor correction applied in Eq. 3

Abstract

We report on precise localization spectroscopy experiments of individual 13C nuclear spins near a central electronic sensor spin in a diamond chip. By detecting the nuclear free precession signals in rapidly switchable external magnetic fields, we retrieve the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the nuclear spins with sub-Angstrom resolution and for distances beyond 10 Angstroms. We further show that the Fermi contact contribution can be constrained by measuring the nuclear g-factor enhancement. The presented method will be useful for mapping the atomic-scale structure of single molecules, an ambitious yet important goal of nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Abstract

A comprehensive current-voltage (I-V) characterization is performed for three different Schottky contacts; Pt, Ni and Ti, to unintentionally doped (UID) \{beta}-(Al0.19Ga0.81)2O3 grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on \{beta}-Ga2O3 for temperatures ranging between 25C -300C. Reciprocal space mapping shows the (Al0.19Ga0.81)2O3 films are strained and lattice matched to the substrate. Schottky Barrier Height (SBH), ideality factor (n), and series resistance (Rs) are extracted from the I-V characteristics for the three types of metals and temperatures. Room temperature capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements revealed fully depleted \{beta}-(Al0.19Ga0.81)2O3 layer. Extracted room temperature SBHs after zero field correction for Pt, Ni and Ti were 2.39 eV, 2.21 eV, and 1.22 eV respectively. Variation of SBHs with metal clearly indicates the dependence on work function.

Abstract

Chapter 3 in High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) : Preliminary Design Report. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the largest scientific instruments ever built.

Abstract

We investigate the application of amplitude-shaped control pulses for enhancing the time and frequency resolution of multipulse quantum sensing sequences. Using the electronic spin of a single nitrogen vacancy center in diamond and up to 10,000 coherent microwave pulses with a cosine square envelope, we demonstrate 0.6 ps timing resolution for the interpulse delay. This represents a refinement by over 3 orders of magnitude compared to the 2 ns hardware sampling. We apply the method for the detection of external AC magnetic fields and nuclear magnetic resonance signals of carbon-13 spins with high spectral resolution. Our method is simple to implement and especially useful for quantum applications that require fast phase gates, many control pulses, and high fidelity., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, plus supplemental material

32. Time and Space Dependent Stochastic Acceleration Model for the Fermi Bubbles

Abstract

Fermi-LAT reveals two huge gamma-ray bubbles existing in the Galactic Center, called 'Fermi Bubbles'. The existence of two microwave bubbles at the same region are also reported by the observation by WMAP, dubbed 'WMAP haze'. In order to explain these components, It has been argued that the gamma-rays arise from Inverse-Compton scattering of relativistic electrons accelerated by plasma turbulence, and the microwaves are radiated by synchrotron radiation. But no previous research reproduces both the Fermi Bubbles and WMAP haze under typical magnetic fields in the galaxy. We assume that shocks present in the bubbles and the efficiency of the acceleration by plasma turbulence, 'stochastic acceleration', changes with the distance from the shock front. The distance from the shock front increases with time, accordingly the efficiency of the acceleration changes with time. We also consider the time development of the electrons escape from the turbulence by diffusive loss. Our model succeed to reproduce both the observed characteristics of the Fermi Bubbles and WMAP haze under typical magnetic fields., Comment: 2014 Fermi Symposium proceedings - eConf C14102.1

This study reviewed the clinical features and visual outcomes of these patients and investigated the background of the prescription of topical corticosteroids.Patients and Methods: The medical records of patients who visited the Cornea Service at Fujita Health University Bantane Hospital and were treated for infectious keratitis from April 2016 to March 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients treated with topical corticosteroids before a culture-proven diagnosis were studied in terms of demographics, best-corrected visual acuity at arrival and at last visit, the clinical course after visit, ocular history, and combination therapy by the previous ophthalmologist.Results: Out of the 200 eyes of 197 patients with infectious keratitis, 14 eyes of 14 patients were treated with topical corticosteroids before a culture-proven diagnosis. All 14 patients were referred, as they had severe keratitis that could not be cured with topical antibiotics and corticosteroids. Based on the culture results, we diagnosed Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) in six patients, fungal keratitis (FK) in two patients, bacterial keratitis (including a suspected case) in two patients, and unknown cause in four patients. Two patients with AK, FK, and unknown keratitis had unfortunate clinical courses and poor visual outcomes. From the information in the referral letters, at least six of the 14 patients were treated with either acyclovir ocular ointment or valaciclovir tablets, along with topical corticosteroids.Conclusion: Application of topical corticosteroids for keratitis that does not respond to empirical antibiotic therapy is harmful since AK or FK is likely involved in these topical antibiotic-resistant cases. Microbiological evidence, as well as a differential diagnosis of herpetic stromal keratitis, is needed when prescribing topical corticosteroid for the treatment of suspected infectious keratitis.Keywords: culture-proven diagnosis, empiric antibiotic therapy, herpetic keratitis, infectious keratitis, topical corticosteroids

However, until now, we know little about the mechanism of osseointegration on zirconia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Syndecan (Sdc) on osteoblastic cell (MC3T3-E1) adhesion and proliferation onto zirconia materials.Materials and Methods: The mirror-polished disks 15 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in thick of commercial pure titanium (CpTi), 3mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (3Y-TZP) and nano-zirconia (NanoZr) are used in this study. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded onto specimen surfaces and subjected to RNA interference (RNAi) for Syndecan-1, Syndecan-2, Syndecan-3, and Syndecan-4. At 48h post-transfection, the cell morphology, actin cytoskeleton, and focal adhesion were observed using scanning electron microscopy or laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. At 24h and 48h post-transfection, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to investigate cell proliferation.Results: The cell morphology of MC3T3-E1 cells on CpTi, 3Y-TZP, and NanoZr changed into abnormal shape after gene silencing of Syndecan. Among the Syndecan family, Sdc-2 is responsible for NanoZr-specific morphology regulation, via maintenance of cytoskeletal conformation without affecting cellular attachment. According to CCK-8 assay, Sdc-2 affects the osteoblastic cell proliferation onto NanoZr.Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, we suggest that Syndecan affects osteoblastic cell adhesion on CpTi, 3Y-TZP, and NanoZr. Sdc-2 might be an important heparin-sensitive cell membrane regulator in osteoblastic cell adhesion, specifically on NanoZr, through the organization of actin cytoskeleton and affects osteoblastic cell proliferation.Keywords: Syndecan, zirconia, cell adhesion, osteoblastic cell

Eight patients have diplopia in primary gaze. All patients underwent pterygium excision, application of mitomycin C (MMC), double amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT), cryopreserved limbal allograft (CLA) transplantation, and placement of a conjunctival flap. Outcome measures were visual acuity, astigmatism, and recurrence. Recurrence was defined as the presence of fibrovascular proliferative tissue crossing the limbus.Results: The patients’ mean age was 73.8 years. The mean follow-up period was 3.0 years. The mean preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities (logMAR conversion) were 0.43 and 0.30, respectively. The mean preoperative and postoperative astigmatism were – 3.89 diopters and – 1.54 diopters, respectively, and there was a significant difference. No recurrence occurred in any of the eyes. Symblepharon was released in all eyes. Diplopia in primary gaze was resolved in all eyes.Conclusion: Management of recurrent pterygium with severe symblepharon using MMC, double AMT, CLA, and a conjunctival flap was an effective treatment.Keywords: pterygium, symblepharon, limbal allograft, amnion, mitomycin C

Abstract

We present a first attempt to determine nucleon-nucleon potentials in the parity-odd sector, which appear in 1P1, 3P0, 3P1, 3P2-3F2 channels, in Nf=2 lattice QCD simulations. These potentials are constructed from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave functions for J^P=0^-, 1^- and 2^-, which correspond to A1^-, T1^- and T2^- + E^- representation of the cubic group, respectively. We have found a large and attractive spin-orbit potential VLS(r) in the isospin-triplet channel, which is qualitatively consistent with the phenomenological determination from the experimental scattering phase shifts. The potentials obtained from lattice QCD are used to calculate the scattering phase shifts in 1P1, 3P0, 3P1 and 3P2-3F2 channels. The strong attractive spin-orbit force and a weak repulsive central force in spin-triplet P-wave channels lead to an attraction in the 3P2 channel, which is related to the P-wave neutron paring in neutron stars., Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, Physics Letters B published version

Abstract

By considering analytical expressions for the self-energies of intervalley and intravalley phonons in graphene, we describe the behavior of D, 2D, and D$'$ Raman bands with changes in doping ($\mu$) and light excitation energy ($E_L$). Comparing the self-energy with the observed $\mu$ dependence of the 2D bandwidth, we estimate the wavevector $q$ of the constituent intervalley phonon at $\hbar vq\simeq E_L/1.6$ ($v$ is electron's Fermi velocity) and conclude that the self-energy makes a major contribution (60%) to the dispersive behavior of the D and 2D bands. The estimation of $q$ is based on an image of shifted Dirac cones in which the resonance decay of a phonon satisfying $q > \omega/v$ ($\omega$ is the phonon frequency) into an electron-hole pair is suppressed when $\mu < (vq-\omega)/2$. We highlight the fact that the decay of an intervalley (and intravalley longitudinal optical) phonon with $q=\omega/v$ is strongly suppressed by electron-phonon coupling at an arbitrary $\mu$. This feature is in contrast to the divergent behavior of an intravalley transverse optical phonon, which bears a close similarity to the polarization function relevant to plasmons., Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

We report a measurement of muon-neutrino disappearance in the T2K experiment. The 295-km muon-neutrino beam from Tokai to Kamioka is the first implementation of the off-axis technique in a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. With data corresponding to 1.43 10**20 protons on target, we observe 31 fully-contained single muon-like ring events in Super-Kamiokande, compared with an expectation of 104 +- 14 (syst) events without neutrino oscillations. The best-fit point for two-flavor nu_mu -> nu_tau oscillations is sin**2(2 theta_23) = 0.98 and |\Delta m**2_32| = 2.65 10**-3 eV**2. The boundary of the 90 % confidence region includes the points (sin**2(2 theta_23),|\Delta m**2_32|) = (1.0, 3.1 10**-3 eV**2), (0.84, 2.65 10**-3 eV**2) and (1.0, 2.2 10**-3 eV**2)., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures
