The γ-ray emission from the nuclei 62,64Fe following Coulomb excitation at bombarding energy of 400-440 AMeV was measured with special focus on E1 transitions in the energy region 4-8 MeV. The unstable neutron-rich nuclei 62,64Fe were produced at the FAIR-GSI laboratories and selected with the FRS spectrometer. The γ decay was detected with AGATA. From the measured γ-ray spectra the summed E1 strength is extracted and compared to microscopic quasi-particle phonon model calculations. The trend of the E1 strength with increasing neutron number is found to be fairly well reproduced with calculations that assume a rather complex structure of the 1− states (three-phonon states) inducing a strong fragmentation of the E1 nuclear response below the neutron binding energy.

Lifetime ,Nuclear structure ,Multi-nucleon transfer ,Light Sn ,Tracking array ,Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
The lifetimes of the low-lying excited states 2+ and 4+ have been directly measured in the neutron-deficient 106,108Sn isotopes. The nuclei were populated via a deep-inelastic reaction and the lifetime measurement was performed employing a differential plunger device. The emitted γ rays were detected by the AGATA array, while the reaction products were uniquely identified by the VAMOS++ magnetic spectrometer. Large-Scale Shell-Model calculations with realistic forces indicate that, independently of the pairing content of the interaction, the quadrupole force is dominant in the B(E2;21+→0g.s.+) values and it describes well the experimental pattern for 104−114Sn; the B(E2;41+→21+) values, measured here for the first time, depend critically on a delicate pairing-quadrupole balance, disclosed by the very precise results in 108Sn.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
A lifetime measurement of the 19/2− state in 207Pb has been performed using the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift (RDDS) method. The nuclei of interest were produced in multi-nucleon transfer reactions induced by a 208Pb beam impinging on a 100Mo enriched target. The beam-like nuclei were detected and identified in terms of their atomic mass number in the VAMOS++ spectrometer while the prompt γ rays were detected by the AGATA tracking array. The measured large reduced transition probability B(E3,19/2−→13/2+)=40(8) W.u. is the first indication of the octupole phonon at high spin in 207Pb. An analysis in terms of a particle-octupole-vibration coupling model indicates that the measured B(E3) value in 207Pb is compatible with the contributions from single-phonon and single particle E3 as well as E3 strength arising from the double-octupole-phonon 6+ state, all adding coherently. A crucial aspect of the coupling model, namely the strong mixing between single-hole and the phonon-hole states, is confirmed in a realistic shell-model calculation.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
Electric quadrupole matrix elements, Mp, for the Jπ=2+→0+, ΔT=0, T=1 transitions across the A=46 isobaric multiplet 46Cr-46V-46Ti have been measured at GSI with the FRS-LYCCA-AGATA setup. This allows direct insight into the isospin purity of the states of interest by testing the linearity of Mp with respect to Tz. Pairs of nuclei in the T=1 triplet were studied using identical reaction mechanisms in order to control systematic errors. The Mp values were obtained with two different methodologies: (i) a relativistic Coulomb excitation experiment was performed for 46Cr and 46Ti; (ii) a “stretched target” technique was adopted here, for the first time, for lifetime measurements in 46V and 46Ti. A constant value of Mp across the triplet has been observed. Shell-model calculations performed within the fp shell fail to reproduce this unexpected trend, pointing towards the need of a wider valence space. This result is confirmed by the good agreement with experimental data achieved with an interaction which allows excitations from the underlying sd shell. A test of the linearity rule for all published data on complete T=1 isospin triplets is presented.

[PHYS.NEXP]Physics [physics]/Nuclear Experiment [nucl-ex] - Abstract
9 pags., 8 figs., 4 tabs., Background: The Xe isotopic chain with four valence protons above the Z=50 shell closure is an ideal laboratory for the study of the evolution of nuclear deformation. At the N=82 shell closure, Xe136 presents all characteristics of a doubly closed shell nucleus with a spherical shape. In the very neutron-deficient isotopes close to N=50, the α-decay chain of Xe was investigated to probe the radioactive decay properties near the drip-line and the magicity of Sn100. Additionally, the Xe isotopes present higher order symmetries in the nuclear deformation such as the octupole degree of freedom near N=60 and N=90 or O(6) symmetry in stable isotopes. Purpose: The relevance of the O(6) symmetry has been investigated by measuring the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the first excited states in Xe124. In the O(6) symmetry limit, the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of collective states is expected to be null. Method: A stable Xe124 beam with energies of 4.03A MeV and 4.11A MeV was used to bombard a natW target at the GANIL facility. Excited states were populated via the safe Coulomb excitation reaction. The collision of the heavy ions with a large Z at low energy make this reaction sensitive to the diagonal E2 matrix element of the excited states. The recoils were detected in the VAMOS++ magnetic spectrometer and the γ rays in the AGATA tracking array. The least squares fitting code gosia was used for the analysis to extract both E2 and M1 transitional and E2 diagonal matrix elements. Results: The rotational ground state band was populated up to the 81+ state as well as the 22+ and 42+ states. Using high precision spectroscopic data to constrain the gosia fit, the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of the 21+, 41+, and 61+ states were determined for the first time. Conclusions: The spectroscopic quadrupole moments were found to be negative, large, and constant in the ground state band underlining the prolate axially deformed ground state band of Xe124. The present experimental data confirm that the O(6) symmetry is substantially broken in Xe124., This work was supported by STFC(UK).

- Abstract
7 pags., 3 figs., 1 tab., The reduced transition probabilities for the 4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+} and 2_{1}^{+}→0_{1}^{+} transitions in ^{92}Mo and ^{94}Ru and for the 4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+} and 6_{1}^{+}→4_{1}^{+} transitions in ^{90}Zr have been determined in this experiment making use of a multinucleon transfer reaction. These results have been interpreted on the basis of realistic shell-model calculations in the f_{5/2}, p_{3/2}, p_{1/2}, and g_{9/2} proton valence space. Only the combination of extensive lifetime information and large scale shell-model calculations allowed the extent of the seniority conservation in the N=50 g_{9/2} orbital to be understood. The conclusion is that seniority is largely conserved in the first πg_{9/2} orbital., This work was partially supported by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and Generalitat Valenciana, Spain, under Grants No. FPA2017-84756-C4, No. PID2020–118265GB-C4, and No. PROMETEO 2019/005, by the EU FEDER funds, by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. n654002, by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357, by STFC(UK) and by the Croatian Science Foundation under Projects No. 7194 and No. IP-2018-01-1257.

6 pags., 8 figs., 1 tab., Excited states in the neutron-deficient nucleus Tc87 have been studied via the fusion-evaporation reaction Fe54(Ar36,2n1p)Tc87 at 115 MeV beam energy. The AGATA γ-ray spectrometer coupled to the DIAMANT, NEDA, and Neutron Wall detector arrays for light-particle detection was used to measure the prompt coincidence of γ rays and light particles. Six transitions from the deexcitation of excited states belonging to a new band in Tc87 were identified by comparing γ-ray intensities in the spectra gated under different reaction channel selection conditions. The constructed level structure was compared with the shell model and total Routhian surface calculations. The results indicate that the new band structure in Tc87 is built on a spherical configuration, which is different from that assigned to the previously identified oblate yrast rotational band., This work was supported by the Swedish Research Council under Grants No. 621-2014-5558 and No. 2019-04880; the EU 7th Framework Programme, Integrating Activities Transnational Access, Project No. 262010 ENSAR; the UK STFC under Grants No. ST/L005727/1 and No. ST/P003885/1; the Polish National Science Centre, Grants No. 2016/22/M/ST2/00269 and No. 2017/25/B/ST2/01569; COPIN-INFN, COPIN-IN2P3, and COPIGAL projects; the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund of Hungary (Project No. K128947); the European Regional Development Fund (Contract No. GINOP-2.3.3-15-2016-00034); the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office, NKFIH, Contract No. PD124717; the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and Generalitat Valenciana, Spain, under the Grants No. SEV-2014-0398 and No. FPA2017-84756-C4; PROMETEO/2019/005; and by the EU FEDER funds.

The low-lying excited states in the neutron-deficient $N = Z + 1$ nucleus $^{87}_{43}$Tc$_{44}$ have been studied via the fusion-evaporation reaction $^{54}$Fe $(^{36}Ar, 2n1p)$ $^{87}$Tc at the Grand Accelerateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL), France. The AGATA spectrometer was used in conjunction with the auxiliary NEDA, Neutron Wall, and DIAMANT detector arrays to measure coincident prompt γ rays, neutrons, and charged particles emitted in the reaction. A level scheme of $^{87}$Tc from the $(9/2^+_{g.s})$ state to the $( 33 / 2^+_1$) state was established based on six mutually coincident γ -ray transitions. The constructed level structure exhibits a rotational behavior with a sharp backbending at $ℏω ≈ 0.50$ MeV. A decrease in alignment frequency and increase in alignment sharpness in the odd-mass isotonic chains around $N=44$ is proposed as an effect of the enhanced isoscalar neutron-proton interactions in odd-mass nuclei when approaching the $N=Z$ line.

There is a severe tension between the observed star formation rate (SFR) - stellar mass (${\rm M}_{\star}$) relations reported by different authors at $z = 1-4$. In addition, the observations have not been successfully reproduced by state-of-the-art cosmological simulations which tend to predict a factor of 2-4 smaller SFRs at a fixed ${\rm M}_{\star}$. We examine the evolution of the SFR$-{\rm M}_{\star}$ relation of $z = 1-4 $ galaxies using the SKIRT simulated spectral energy distributions of galaxies sampled from the EAGLE simulations. We derive SFRs and stellar masses by mimicking different observational techniques. We find that the tension between observed and simulated SFR$-{\rm M}_{\star}$ relations is largely alleviated if similar methods are used to infer the galaxy properties. We find that relations relying on infrared wavelengths (e.g. 24 ${\rm \mu m}$, MIPS - 24, 70 and 160 ${\rm \mu m}$ or SPIRE - 250, 350, 500 ${\rm \mu m}$) have SFRs that exceed the intrinsic relation by 0.5 dex. Relations that rely on the spectral energy distribution fitting technique underpredict the SFRs at a fixed stellar mass by -0.5 dex at $z \sim 4$ but overpredict the measurements by 0.3 dex at $z \sim 1$. Relations relying on dust-corrected rest-frame UV luminosities, are flatter since they overpredict/underpredict SFRs for low/high star forming objects and yield deviations from the intrinsic relation from 0.10 dex to -0.13 dex at $z \sim 4$. We suggest that the severe tension between different observational studies can be broadly explained by the fact that different groups employ different techniques to infer their SFRs., Comment: 15 pages, 6 Figures, 4 tables, accepted for publication in MNRAS, Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 summarize results

Introduction/Background The ovarian cancer is one of the most common ginaecological tumor after breast and uterus tumor, and the most common are benign (80%) and 20% of malign ovarian tumor. The diagnosis was performed with physical exam. and Abdominal Ultrasound and to complete the study was requested the abdominal. CT Scan and blood tests, It was an Open Surgery with resection of the left ovarian TERATOMA (8 cm) with PERITONITIS management during the surgery, drenages was needed. Methodology A single woman of 33 y,o, with no historical diseases, no medication, no deliveries, IMC 25%, came to the E.R. with lower abdominal pain, and went to Surgery after Ecography and abdominal CT Scan done,blood test: leucocitosis,with Neutrophylia, fever, and high PCR, HB.: 12.We decided open surgery because of the big size of the tumor (8 cm) and we managed the complication of the teratoma (peritonitis). Results The Ovarian Teratoma (size 8 cm) and a left plastrom was removed by open surgery, and abdominal drenages needed. After surgery, the patient had SEPSIS (hypotension, tachycardia, hb: 9, PCR: 500, and Saturation of Oxygen low: 89%), she went to ICU and required Ventilation, central i.v line,antibiotics, fluids, She was at the intensive Unit for 4 days. The serum CA 19,9 was 9,000 U/lt, CA 125; 365 and the histopathology study was BENIGN TERATOMA. Conclusion The ovarian germinal cells Teratoma (benign) is the most common type of teratoma, and peritonitis isnt a common presentation, (0,2%), but our patient did. The Laparotomy is the first choice but in our patient the key for Pritonitis complication management was the Open Surgery. Disclosure Nothing to disclose.

Lifetime measurements of excited states of the light N = 52 isotones 88 Kr , 86 Se , and 84 Ge have been performed, using the recoil distance Doppler shift method and VAMOS and AGATA spectrometers for particle identification and gamma spectroscopy, respectively. The reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities B ( E 2 ; 2 + → 0 + ) and B ( E 2 ; 4 + → 2 + ) were obtained for the first time for the hard-to-reach 84 Ge . While the B ( E 2 ; 2 + → 0 + ) values of 88 Kr , 86 Se saturate the maximum quadrupole collectivity offered by the natural valence ( 3 s , 2 d , 1 g 7 / 2 , 1 h 11 / 2 ) space of an inert 78 Ni core, the value obtained for 84 Ge largely exceeds it, suggesting that shape coexistence phenomena, previously reported at N ≲ 49 , extend beyond N = 50 . The onset of collectivity at Z = 32 is understood as due to a pseudo-SU(3) organization of the proton single-particle sequence reflecting a clear manifestation of pseudospin symmetry. It is realized that the latter provides actually reliable guidance for understanding the observed proton and neutron single particle structure in the whole medium-mass region, from Ni to Sn, pointing towards the important role of the isovector-vector ρ field in shell-structure evolution.

The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) has been installed at the GANIL facility, Caen-France. This setup exploits the stable and radioactive heavy-ions beams delivered by the cyclotron accelerator complex of GANIL. Additionally, it benefits from a large palette of ancillary detectors and spectrometers to address in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of exotic nuclei. The set-up has been designed to couple AGATA with a magnetic spectrometer, charged-particle and neutron detectors, scintillators for the detection of high-energy γ rays and other devices such as a plunger to measure nuclear lifetimes. In this paper, the design and the mechanical characteristics of the set-up are described. Based on simulations, expected performances of the AGATA l π array are presented.

Prompt γ-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-rich $^{96}$Kr, produced in transfer- and fusion-induced fission reactions, has been performed using the combination of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array and the VAMOS++ spectrometer. A second excited state, assigned to $J^π$ = $4^+$, is observed for the first time, and a previously reported level energy of the first 2+ excited state is confirmed. The measured energy ratio R4/2 = E($4^+$)/E($2^+$) = 2.12(1) indicates that this nucleus does not show a well-developed collectivity contrary to that seen in heavier N = 60 isotones. This new measurement highlights an abrupt transition of the degree of collectivity as a function of the proton number at Z = 36, of similar amplitude to that observed at N = 60 at higher Z values. A possible reason for this abrupt transition could be related to the insufficient proton excitations in the g9/2, d5/2, and s1/2 orbitals to generate strong quadrupole correlations or to the coexistence of competing different shapes. An unexpected continuous decrease of R4/2 as a function of the neutron number up to N = 60 is also evidenced. This measurement establishes the Kr isotopic chain as the low-Z boundary of the island of deformation for N = 60 isotones. A comparison with available theoretical predictions using different beyond mean-field approaches shows that these models fail to reproduce the abrupt transitions at N = 60 and Z = 36.

Prompt γ-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-rich ^{96}Kr, produced in transfer- and fusion-induced fission reactions, has been performed using the combination of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array and the VAMOS++ spectrometer. A second excited state, assigned to J^{π}=4^{+}, is observed for the first time, and a previously reported level energy of the first 2^{+} excited state is confirmed. The measured energy ratio R_{4/2}=E(4^{+})/E(2^{+})=2.12(1) indicates that this nucleus does not show a well-developed collectivity contrary to that seen in heavier N=60 isotones. This new measurement highlights an abrupt transition of the degree of collectivity as a function of the proton number at Z=36, of similar amplitude to that observed at N=60 at higher Z values. A possible reason for this abrupt transition could be related to the insufficient proton excitations in the g_{9/2}, d_{5/2}, and s_{1/2} orbitals to generate strong quadrupole correlations or to the coexistence of competing different shapes. An unexpected continuous decrease of R_{4/2} as a function of the neutron number up to N=60 is also evidenced. This measurement establishes the Kr isotopic chain as the low-Z boundary of the island of deformation for N=60 isotones. A comparison with available theoretical predictions using different beyond mean-field approaches shows that these models fail to reproduce the abrupt transitions at N=60 and Z=36.

19th Real Time Conference (RT) -- MAY 26-30, 2014 -- Nara, JAPAN, WOS: 000356458000029, This paper presents the design of the NEDA (Neutron Detector Array) electronics, a first attempt to involve the use of digital electronics in large neutron detector arrays. Starting from the front-end modules attached to the PMTs (PhotoMultiplier Tubes) and ending up with the data processing workstations, a comprehensive electronic system capable of dealing with the acquisition and pre-processing of the neutron array is detailed. Among the electronic modules required, we emphasize the front-end analog processing, the digitalization, digital pre-processing and communications firmware, as well as the integration of the GTS (Global Trigger and Synchronization) system, already used successfully in AGATA (Advanced Gamma Tracking Array). The NEDA array will be available for measurements in 2016., Osaka Univ, Res Nucl Phys, Generalitat Valenciana, Spain [PROMETEO/2010/101]; INFN, Italy; Spanish MINECO [AIC-D-2011-0746, FPA2011-29854, FPA2012-33650]; Swedish Research Council; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK); UK STFC; Science and Technology Facilities Council [ST/J000124/1, ST/L005735/1, ST/L005727/1], This work was supported by the Generalitat Valenciana, Spain, under grant PROMETEO/2010/101.

International audience; This board will be part of the upgrade for the new electronics for the EXOGAM2 (HP-Ge detector array) and NEDA (BC501A-based neutron detector array), therefore it was necessary to deal with the problem of providing a sampling card with high resolution for new gamma spectroscopy experiments while sampling at very high rates, with a broad bandwidth in order to preserve the shape for further analysis. Pulse shape analysis is of paramount importance in neutron detectors, such as NEDA, based on scintillators that are sensitive to γ-rays as well. High resolution and high speed are often two parameters which conform a trade-off and it is hard to achieve both simultaneously. The aforementioned constraints and the urge of building new sampling electronics to improve the signal analysis in nuclear physics experiments, led to the development of this FADC mezzanine This involves sampling rates up to 250 Msps preserving a high resolution of 11.3 effective bits in order to satisfy the experiment demands. In this work is described the design and the test bench proposed for a proper high speed ADC characterization system and the results obtained up to now.

Engraftment of marrow following autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) may be influenced by quantity and function of stem cells. T lymphocytes, supporting microenvironmental cells, and hematopoietic growth factors (HGF). To elucidate the physiologic role of interleukin-3 (IL-3) in the engraftment process, serum IL-3 levels were measured in over 400 samples from 77 transplant recipients before and for up to 3 weeks following transplantation using a novel enzyme- linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) with a sensitivity of > or = 78 pg/mL. Thirty-seven patients received two to three log T-cell-depleted allografts. In the remaining 40 patients (18 autologous marrow, 12 allogeneic marrow, and 10 autologous peripheral blood [PB] stem cell), T cells were not depleted (non-TCD) from the grafts. A burst of IL-3 (peak levels, 1,500 to 6,000 pg/mL) was detected in the immediate posttransplant period between day 0 and day 14 in all non-TCD recipients and in 21 of 37 (57%) of TCD recipients. A strong inverse relationship between IL-3 levels and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was observed in both non-TCD recipients (r = -.796) and in TCD recipients (r = -.897). However, both peak IL-3 levels and mean IL-3 levels from day 0 through 14 were significantly lower in TCD recipients compared with either autologous or unmodified allogeneic marrow recipients (P < .01). The lowest peak or mean day 0 through 14 IL-3 levels were observed in matched related recipients undergoing the most aggressive (2.5 to 3.0 log) T-cell-depleted BMT. Autografted patients receiving blood stem cell transplants alone or posttransplant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) also had significantly lower peak IL- 3 levels (P < .01). In patients receiving TCD grafts, administration of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) posttransplant significantly increased peak IL-3 levels compared with patients not treated with ATG (P < .04). This study shows that endogenous release of IL-3 is strongly associated with myeloid engraftment and inversely related to ANC. Removal of T lymphocytes from donor marrow or acceleration of engraftment by use of stem cells or growth factors appears to blunt the endogenous release of IL-3 whereas use of ATG posttransplant increases IL-3 release.

Accurate timing in cosmic ray detection is critical for reconstruction of events from multiple scattered detectors. Since most of the detectors dedicated to study cosmic rays generate continuous analog signals, a precise timing depends on the sampling rate and the subsequent triggering system operating on the generated digital data stream. In this paper, a data acquisition platform based on a fully programmable System-On-Chip (SoC) and a high-speed analog to digital converter, able to manage 8-bit data resolution, 500MHz sampling rate and GPS connection for data synchronization is presented. The SoC is a ZYNQ 7000 device with a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and a dual core ARM processor embedded on a single chip. The system achieves 2 ns time resolution and is also able to increase data amplitude resolution through oversampling and can simultaneously generate a real time histogram of the incoming data. The platform has an embedded high voltage power supply control with temperature and pressure compensation for optimal and stable operation of different detectors. While the time critical activities are handled and carried out by the FPGA, software running on the dual core ARM processor with a real time operating system (FreeRTOS) provides Ethernet connection for remote control of the platform.

- Abstract
The excited states of unstable ^{20}O were investigated via γ-ray spectroscopy following the ^{19}O(d,p)^{20}O reaction at 8 AMeV. By exploiting the Doppler shift attenuation method, the lifetimes of the 2_{2}^{+} and 3_{1}^{+} states were firmly established. From the γ-ray branching and E2/M1 mixing ratios for transitions deexciting the 2_{2}^{+} and 3_{1}^{+} states, the B(E2) and B(M1) were determined. Various chiral effective field theory Hamiltonians, describing the nuclear properties beyond ground states, along with a standard USDB interaction, were compared with the experimentally obtained data. Such a comparison for a large set of γ-ray transition probabilities with the valence space in medium similarity renormalization group ab initio calculations was performed for the first time in a nucleus far from stability. It was shown that the ab initio approaches using chiral effective field theory forces are challenged by detailed high-precision spectroscopic properties of nuclei. The reduced transition probabilities were found to be a very constraining test of the performance of the ab initio models.

- Abstract
Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions in stellar binary systems, and important sources of
26 Al and22 Na. While γ rays from the decay of the former radioisotope have been observed throughout the Galaxy,22 Na remains untraceable. Its half-life (2.6 yr) would allow the observation of its 1.275 MeV γ-ray line from a cosmic source. However, the prediction of such an observation requires good knowledge of its nucleosynthesis. The22 Na(p, γ)23 Mg reaction remains the only source of large uncertainty about the amount of22 Na ejected. Its rate is dominated by a single resonance on the short-lived state at 7785.0(7) keV in23 Mg. Here, we propose a combined analysis of particle-particle correlations and velocity-difference profiles to measure femtosecond nuclear lifetimes. The application of this method to the study of the23 Mg states, places strong limits on the amount of22 Na produced in novae and constrains its detectability with future space-borne observatories., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Introduction: A precise fecal microbiome analysis requires normalized methods for microbiome sampling, transport and manipulation in order to obtain a representative snapshot of the microbial community. GutAlive
® is the unique stool collection kit that generates an anaerobic atmosphere enabling oxygen sensitive bacteria to survive, maintaining the original microbiome composition and diversity., Methods: Five stool samples from different donors were collected using two different sampling devices, GutAlive® and Zymo DNA/RNA Shield® , and processed at four different time points. Shotgun metagenomics was used to evaluate the influence of the device and the processing timing on the microbial populations to unravel the potential fluctuations on the composition and diversity of the fecal microbiome and the metabolic pathways profiling. Additionally, RT-qPCR was used to quantify bacterial cell viability for downstream applications of microbiota samples beyond metagenomics., Results: Our results show that GutAlive® enables bacterial cell viability overtime preserving DNA integrity, obtaining high-quantity and high-quality DNA to perform microbiome analysis using shotgun metagenomics. Based on the taxonomic profiling, metabolic pathways analysis, phylogeny and metagenome-assembled genomes, GutAlive® displayed greater performance without significant variability over time, showcasing the stabilization of the microbiome preserving the original composition and diversity. Indeed, this DNA stabilization is enabled with the preservation of bacterial viability on an anaerobic environment inside of the sampling device, without the addition of any reagents that interact directly with sample., Conclusion: All the above makes GutAlive® an user-friendly kit for self-collection of biological samples, suitable for microbiome analysis, diagnostics, fecal microbiota transplant and bacterial isolation, maintaining the stability and bacterial viability over time, preserving the original composition and diversity of the microbiome., Competing Interests: IM, DB, CH-C, and NM-Á are full-time employees of Microviable Therapeutics SL. NM-Á and CH-C are co-founders and shareholders of Microviable Therapeutics SL. The design of GutAlive® has been patent-protected (ES201630176) and the commercial rights have been exclusively licensed to Microviable Therapeutics SL.

- Abstract
Carotid web (CW) is considered a variant of intimal fibromuscular dysplasia. CW represents between 9.4% and 37% of ischemic strokes that were initially misclassified as "cryptogenic." However, in Latin America, there is a lack of detection. We present 5 cases of ischemic stroke due to CW and discuss the usefulness of multiplanar reformatting (MPR) imaging in computed tomography angiography. The identification of CW with the use of tridimensional (3D) reconstructions and maximum intensity projection was 20%, the rest was misdiagnosed as atherosclerotic plaque. With the MPR, the identification of typical CW findings was improved, such as a thin septum, a shelf-like image, and a mountain shadow-like image. However, one must be alert to changes in the 3D disposition of the carotid bifurcation, as they may mask the typical CW findings. A good practice is to align the internal carotid artery exactly posterior to the external carotid artery in the sagittal plane., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2023 Brain Circulation.)

- Abstract
The reduced transition probabilities for the 4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+} and 2_{1}^{+}→0_{1}^{+} transitions in ^{92}Mo and ^{94}Ru and for the 4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+} and 6_{1}^{+}→4_{1}^{+} transitions in ^{90}Zr have been determined in this experiment making use of a multinucleon transfer reaction. These results have been interpreted on the basis of realistic shell-model calculations in the f_{5/2}, p_{3/2}, p_{1/2}, and g_{9/2} proton valence space. Only the combination of extensive lifetime information and large scale shell-model calculations allowed the extent of the seniority conservation in the N=50 g_{9/2} orbital to be understood. The conclusion is that seniority is largely conserved in the first πg_{9/2} orbital.

- Abstract
Air is one of the target matrices of the Global Monitoring Plan (GMP) of the Stockholm Convention to determine concentrations and transport of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Mexico participates in the GMP for POPs in ambient air through the AIR-Global Environment Facility (GEF) program. The objective of this study was to analyze the results of POPs monitoring of air samples collected in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, between 2017 and 2018. Passive samplers were used for the determination of chlorinated basic POPs, indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (Ind. PCBs), polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs). A principal component analysis was applied to determine relationships between pollutants and groups present in the ambient air of the rural study area. Of the total POPs analyzed, 85.56% were detected in ambient air samples from Mexico. Organochlorine compounds, as DDT derivatives, were identified mainly, as well as PBDEs, PCDDs, and PCDFs. The prevalence of compounds differed according to the seasonality of sampling, with no change in average concentration between monitoring years., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)

A long, narrow, relativistic charged particle bunch propagating in plasma is subject to the self-modulation (SM) instability. We show that SM of a proton bunch can be seeded by the wakefields driven by a preceding electron bunch. SM timing reproducibility and control are at the level of a small fraction of the modulation period. With this seeding method, we independently control the amplitude of the seed wakefields with the charge of the electron bunch and the growth rate of SM with the charge of the proton bunch. Seeding leads to larger growth of the wakefields than in the instability case.

- Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by progressive stenosis of the distal portion of the internal carotid artery and its two main branches, the middle cerebral artery, and the anterior cerebral artery. Clinically, MMD can present with ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular events. The term Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is used when the characteristic Moyamoya vasculopathy presents in association with other conditions such as Graves' disease (GD). We report a case of a 34-year-old, right-handed male patient of Amerindian descent. He presented to the emergency room with a two-month history of palpitation, fatigue, and weight loss associated with sudden-onset left hemiparesis, facial asymmetry, and dysarthria. His workup was remarkable for elevated levels of thyroid hormones with the presence of autoantibodies and radiological findings typical of MMS. Moyamoya syndrome in association with Graves' disease has increasingly been noted in Latin American patients and should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the appropriate clinical context., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2022, Ramírez-Quiñones et al.)

- Abstract
Background: Atmospheric pollution is a problem that causes great concern and health risks for the population and the earth, as it affects developed countries and third world countries. Locally, there are no studies that prove the fulfillment level of the restriction about the usage of residential firewood, considering that since 2014 there is a procedure called "The Environmental Decontamination Plan" in Valdivia (PDAV)., Aim: To determine the fulfillment level of the restriction about residential firewood and its related factors., Material and Methods: The population study were 594 homes that were assigned randomly and proportionally according to 2 territorial areas (A and B) established in the PDAV. The sample's characteristics were described, comparison techniques were applied by subgroups (sociodemographic, home's structures and humidity's perception and percentage of the firewood) to identify factors related mainly with the fulfillment of measurements about firewood usage., Results: 52% of households do not comply with the residential firewood use restriction measure, having sociodemographic factors related with this failure, such as schooling, health insurance and home structure. Besides, it is noted that the knowledge level of PDAV is associated with the accomplish level of restriction measures. When people know more about PDAV, there is a higher proportion of accomplishment., Conclusion: In more than half of the households, the restriction on the use of woodstove is not complied. The lack of knowledge of the population about the PDAV directly influences its compliance, which requires strategies to promote adherence to this program.

- Abstract
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is characterized by an abnormal connection between a radicular artery and the venous plexus producing spinal cord venous congestion. It manifests with nonspecific sensory and motor symptoms. We present three cases of SDAVF with different forms of presentation; in two cases, an autoimmune etiology was considered, and in the third case, the initial diagnosis was chronic radiculopathy. In all three cases, a serpentine enhancement was observed after the gadolinium in the dorsal region of the spinal cord corresponded to flow voids in T2-weighted images, which guided the diagnosis. SDAVF should be considered in atypical clinical presentations of radiculopathies or spinal cord syndromes, especially spinal conus or epicone syndrome. Likewise, it should be part of the differential diagnosis of spinal cord presentations of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2022, Alfaro-Olivera et al.)

- Abstract
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is an underdiagnosed cause of convexal subarachnoid hemorrhage, characterized by thunderclap headache associated with focal and segmental intracranial vasoconstriction. It can appear complications such as intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy, or ischemic stroke. Our objective is to present the case of a 51-year-old woman with an RCVS diagnosis, who had a normal digital subtraction angiography at the illness onset. We highlight the high diagnostic value of thunderclap headache and convexal subarachnoid hemorrhage. We also highlight the importance of repeating the angiographic studies in the second week when there is strong diagnostic suspicion., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2021, Otiniano-Sifuentes et al.)

- Abstract
Objectives: About 65%-87% of substance use disorder patients smoke cigarettes, compared to 14% of the general adult population. Few substance use treatment centers (SUTCs) have comprehensive tobacco-free workplace (TFW) policies or offer tobacco interventions. Taking Texas Tobacco Free (TTTF) implements an evidence-based TFW program in SUTCs, including at the Billy T. Cattan Recovery Outreach Center (BTC). We present a mixed methods case study of BTC's TTTF implementation, success factors, and challenges. Methods: TTTF provided policy development assistance, training, treatment resources, and technical assistance over ∼9 months. Implementation was tailored using mixed methods. Quantitative data included surveys to stakeholders (N
max = 7), a pre- and post-training questionnaire assessing knowledge gain, and reported quantities of tobacco use assessments (TUAs) administered and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) provided. Qualitative data included stakeholder focus groups and interviews (18 participants). Results: All employees reported TFW policy compliance. Employees exhibited a 20% knowledge gain. Clinicians increased self-report of NRT provision and tobacco cessation counseling. During implementation, BTC administered TUAs to 171 patients and dispensed NRT to 70 of 110 tobacco-using patients. Conclusion: Qualitative findings contextualized quantitative outcomes. TTTF implementation changed clinician attitudes, knowledge, and practices regarding tobacco treatment, facilitating patient quit attempts.- Published

- Abstract
Background: The availability of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) remains limited worldwide, especially in low-income countries, where the burden of disability due to ischemic stroke is the highest., Aims: To evaluate outcomes and safety of IV-tPA at the only Peruvian reference institute for neurologic diseases., Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study of stroke patients who received IV-tPA between 2009 and 2016. We assessed characteristics associated with good outcome (modified Rankine scale 0-2) at 3 months using a multivariate regression model; and factors correlated with clinical improvement (delta National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)) using linear regression., Results: Only 1.98% (39/1,1962) of patients presenting with ischemic stroke received IV-tPA. Nearly half (41%) were younger than 60 years, 56.4 % were men, and most strokes were cardioembolic (46.2%). The majority (64.1%) were treated within 3-4.5 hours. The median NIHSS on admission and discharge was 9 and 4, respectively; 42.1% of patients had an mRS of 0-1 at 3 months. Three patients (7.7%) developed hemorrhagic conversion, and 1 patient died (2.6%). Patients with good outcomes had lower pretreatment systolic blood pressure (138.9 versus 158.1 mm Hg, P < .007), fewer complications during hospitalization (5 versus 9 events, P < .001), shorter hospital stay (14 versus 21 days, P < .03) and, paradoxically, longer last known well -to-door times (148.3 versus 105 minutes, P < .0022). Clinical improvement was associated with shorter door-to-tPA times and obesity., Conclusions: Our findings indicate that IV-tPA has similar safety and outcomes compared to developed countries. All internal metrics (door-to-tPA, door-to-CT, and CT-to-tPA time) improved over time, highlighting areas for future implementation science studies to further expedite the administration of IV-tPA., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
The low-lying energy spectrum of the extremely neutron-deficient self-conjugate (N=Z) nuclide _{44}^{88}Ru_{44} has been measured using the combination of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) spectrometer, the NEDA and Neutron Wall neutron detector arrays, and the DIAMANT charged particle detector array. Excited states in ^{88}Ru were populated via the ^{54}Fe(^{36}Ar,2nγ)^{88}Ru^{*} fusion-evaporation reaction at the Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) accelerator complex. The observed γ-ray cascade is assigned to ^{88}Ru using clean prompt γ-γ-2-neutron coincidences in anticoincidence with the detection of charged particles, confirming and extending the previously assigned sequence of low-lying excited states. It is consistent with a moderately deformed rotating system exhibiting a band crossing at a rotational frequency that is significantly higher than standard theoretical predictions with isovector pairing, as well as observations in neighboring N>Z nuclides. The direct observation of such a "delayed" rotational alignment in a deformed N=Z nucleus is in agreement with theoretical predictions related to the presence of strong isoscalar neutron-proton pair correlations.

Background: Menopause exposes women to an increased cardiovascular risk., Aim: To determine the association between menopause and cardiovascular risk factors in Chilean adult women using data from the National Health Survey (NHS) 2016-2017., Material and Methods: Data from 2,139 women over 40 years of age participating in the NHS 2016-2017, with information about menopause and cardiovascular risk factors was used. Expansion factors were applied to this sample, obtaining an expanded sample of 3,733,191 participants. Laboratory values (blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL and total cholesterol) and anthropometric measurements (body weight, height and waist circumference) were analyzed. The presence of hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) were also recorded., Results: Sixty seven percent of surveyed women were menopausal and had higher systolic blood pressure than non-menopausal participants. Menopause was significantly associated with hypertension (Odds ratio (OR): 2.43 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.71; 3.45], p < 0.01) and diabetes (OR: 2.05 [95% CI: 1.32; 3.19], p < 0.01). However, no association was observed with obesity, abdominal obesity or MetS., Conclusions: In these women, a positive association was identified between menopause and hypertension as well as diabetes.

- Abstract
We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a long, relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The bunch exits the plasma with a periodic density modulation resulting from radial wakefield effects. We show that the modulation is seeded by a relativistic ionization front created using an intense laser pulse copropagating with the proton bunch. The modulation extends over the length of the proton bunch following the seed point. By varying the plasma density over one order of magnitude, we show that the modulation frequency scales with the expected dependence on the plasma density, i.e., it is equal to the plasma frequency, as expected from theory.

- Abstract
We measure the effects of transverse wakefields driven by a relativistic proton bunch in plasma with densities of 2.1×10^{14} and 7.7×10^{14} electrons/cm^{3}. We show that these wakefields periodically defocus the proton bunch itself, consistently with the development of the seeded self-modulation process. We show that the defocusing increases both along the bunch and along the plasma by using time resolved and time-integrated measurements of the proton bunch transverse distribution. We evaluate the transverse wakefield amplitudes and show that they exceed their seed value (<15 MV/m) and reach over 300 MV/m. All these results confirm the development of the seeded self-modulation process, a necessary condition for external injection of low energy and acceleration of electrons to multi-GeV energy levels.

- Abstract
Lifetime measurements of excited states of the light N=52 isotones ^{88}Kr, ^{86}Se, and ^{84}Ge have been performed, using the recoil distance Doppler shift method and VAMOS and AGATA spectrometers for particle identification and gamma spectroscopy, respectively. The reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities B(E2;2^{+}→0^{+}) and B(E2;4^{+}→2^{+}) were obtained for the first time for the hard-to-reach ^{84}Ge. While the B(E2;2^{+}→0^{+}) values of ^{88}Kr, ^{86}Se saturate the maximum quadrupole collectivity offered by the natural valence (3s, 2d, 1g_{7/2}, 1h_{11/2}) space of an inert ^{78}Ni core, the value obtained for ^{84}Ge largely exceeds it, suggesting that shape coexistence phenomena, previously reported at N≲49, extend beyond N=50. The onset of collectivity at Z=32 is understood as due to a pseudo-SU(3) organization of the proton single-particle sequence reflecting a clear manifestation of pseudospin symmetry. It is realized that the latter provides actually reliable guidance for understanding the observed proton and neutron single particle structure in the whole medium-mass region, from Ni to Sn, pointing towards the important role of the isovector-vector ρ field in shell-structure evolution.

- Abstract
High-energy particle accelerators have been crucial in providing a deeper understanding of fundamental particles and the forces that govern their interactions. To increase the energy of the particles or to reduce the size of the accelerator, new acceleration schemes need to be developed. Plasma wakefield acceleration
1-5 , in which the electrons in a plasma are excited, leading to strong electric fields (so called 'wakefields'), is one such promising acceleration technique. Experiments have shown that an intense laser pulse6-9 or electron bunch10,11 traversing a plasma can drive electric fields of tens of gigavolts per metre and above-well beyond those achieved in conventional radio-frequency accelerators (about 0.1 gigavolt per metre). However, the low stored energy of laser pulses and electron bunches means that multiple acceleration stages are needed to reach very high particle energies5,12 . The use of proton bunches is compelling because they have the potential to drive wakefields and to accelerate electrons to high energy in a single acceleration stage13 . Long, thin proton bunches can be used because they undergo a process called self-modulation14-16 , a particle-plasma interaction that splits the bunch longitudinally into a series of high-density microbunches, which then act resonantly to create large wakefields. The Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) experiment at CERN17-19 uses high-intensity proton bunches-in which each proton has an energy of 400 gigaelectronvolts, resulting in a total bunch energy of 19 kilojoules-to drive a wakefield in a ten-metre-long plasma. Electron bunches are then injected into this wakefield. Here we present measurements of electrons accelerated up to two gigaelectronvolts at the AWAKE experiment, in a demonstration of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. Measurements were conducted under various plasma conditions and the acceleration was found to be consistent and reliable. The potential for this scheme to produce very high-energy electron bunches in a single accelerating stage20 means that our results are an important step towards the development of future high-energy particle accelerators21,22 .- Published

- Abstract
Prompt γ-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-rich ^{96}Kr, produced in transfer- and fusion-induced fission reactions, has been performed using the combination of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array and the VAMOS++ spectrometer. A second excited state, assigned to J^{π}=4^{+}, is observed for the first time, and a previously reported level energy of the first 2^{+} excited state is confirmed. The measured energy ratio R_{4/2}=E(4^{+})/E(2^{+})=2.12(1) indicates that this nucleus does not show a well-developed collectivity contrary to that seen in heavier N=60 isotones. This new measurement highlights an abrupt transition of the degree of collectivity as a function of the proton number at Z=36, of similar amplitude to that observed at N=60 at higher Z values. A possible reason for this abrupt transition could be related to the insufficient proton excitations in the g_{9/2}, d_{5/2}, and s_{1/2} orbitals to generate strong quadrupole correlations or to the coexistence of competing different shapes. An unexpected continuous decrease of R_{4/2} as a function of the neutron number up to N=60 is also evidenced. This measurement establishes the Kr isotopic chain as the low-Z boundary of the island of deformation for N=60 isotones. A comparison with available theoretical predictions using different beyond mean-field approaches shows that these models fail to reproduce the abrupt transitions at N=60 and Z=36.

- Abstract
We have investigated the relationship between the status of red blood cells (RBCs) and their susceptibility to toxin sticholysin II (StII) hemolytic activity; we have evaluated this effect in different RBC ensembles, comprising young and old cells, and in cells partially damaged by their pre-exposition to a free radical source. Upon action of StII, young cell populations are less prone to hemolysis than the whole population, while old cell populations and peroxyl-oxidized red cells are lysed faster than the whole population. Cell K(+) content was higher in young cells and lower in both senescent cells and in peroxyl-damaged cells relative to whole cell population. The relevance of cell K(+) content in St II-induced lysis was shown when external Na(+) was partially replaced by K(+); under this condition, RBC lysed faster in the presence of St II but no difference was observed among young cells, whole cells population and peroxyl-damaged cells; only old cells lysed faster that the whole population, response that can be due to an enhanced St II-induced pore formation as supported by evaluation of St II irreversible binding to RBC. It is concluded that this factor and the amount of intracellular K(+) are the dominant parameters that modulate the resistance of RBC to St II-induced lysis.
