Abstract: Abstract The focal plane camera is the core component of the Wide Field-of-view Cherenkov/fluorescence Telescope Array (WFCTA) of the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Because of the capability of working under moonlight without aging, silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) have been proven to be not only an alternative but also an improvement to conventional photomultiplier tubes (PMT) in this application. Eighteen SiPM-based cameras with square light funnels have been built for WFCTA. The telescopes have collected more than 100 million cosmic ray events and preliminary results indicate that these cameras are capable of working under moonlight. The characteristics of the light funnels and SiPMs pose challenges (e.g. dynamic range, dark count rate, assembly techniques). In this paper, we present the design features, manufacturing techniques and performances of these cameras. Finally, the test facilities, the test methods and results of SiPMs in the cameras are reported here.

Subjects: abscisic acid, enzyme activity, gene transcription, low temperature, salicylic acid, salinity, water stress, Biology (General), QH301-705.5, Plant ecology, QK900-989
Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of different abiotic stresses on the activity of an NADP-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME) and the corresponding gene transcription in the leaves of the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) The activity of the NADP-ME enzyme was increased by water stress (20 % polyethylene glycol 6000), low temperature (4 °C), darkness, salinity (200 mM NaCl), abscisic acid and salicylic acid. The transcription of the TaNADP-ME1 gene decreased in response to all of the stresses except darkness and NaCl. In addition, the transcription of TaNADP-ME2 was down-regulated by all of the tested treatments and could not be detected under dark stress.

Subjects: abscisic acid, cold stress, cuticular wax, drought, salt stress, triticum aestivum, very-long-chain fatty acids, Biology (General), QH301-705.5, Plant ecology, QK900-989
Abstract: TaCer6 was firstly cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and identified as a tissue-specific gene in wheat. To determine if environmental factors such as drought and low temperature induce TaCer6 transcription, we examined the effects of these factors on TaCer6 in two wheat cultivars. Our results demonstrated that light was essential for TaCer6 transcription, salt stress inhibited TaCer6 expression and application of salicylic acid enhanced TaCer6 transcripts accumulation. In addition, polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) and abscisic acid increased the expression of TaCer6 more in the drought- and cold-tolerant cultivar Jinmai47 than in non-tolerant cultivar Shi4185. Low temperature increased TaCer6 transcription in Jinmai47 while decreased it in Shi4185.

Subjects: abscisic acid, aquaporins, cuticular wax, detoxification, osmotic adjustment, reactive oxygen species, signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, Biology (General), QH301-705.5, Plant ecology, QK900-989
Abstract: Unfavourable environment brings many kinds of stresses to plants. To survive such stresses, efficient resistance is required for the plants. Multifunctional genes enable the cross-talk among the various abiotic stress resistance systems. This paper reviews the action mechanisms of multifunctional genes. These genes can be classified into three groups: genes encoding diverse proteins through mRNA splicing (e.g. AOX in rice); genes like BADH, P5CS and HAV that control drought, salinity, osmotic and heat stress resistance; and a gene family, for example AQP, controlling transport of many compounds including water and nutrients. These genes participate in signal sensing and transduction, transcriptional regulation and functional gene activation during stress resistance induction. Furthermore, it should be noted that, under abiotic stresses, the regulation cascades are mutually interdependent and there also exists a close correlation between those cascades and normal plant growth and development.

5. The roles of hydrogen in the diamond/amorphous carbon phase transitions of oxygen ion implanted ultrananocrystalline diamond films at different annealing temperatures

Author: X. J. Hu, X. H. Chen, and J. S. Ye
Subjects: Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: We report that the diffusion and desorption of hydrogen (H) play a key role in the diamond/amorphous carbon phase transitions of O+-implanted UNCD films at different annealing temperatures (Ta) by using high resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HRTEM), vis-uv Raman, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy measurements. The results of HRTEM and uv Raman spectroscopy measurements show that with Ta increasing from 500 to 900 °C, the amorphous carbon in grain boundaries (GBs) transits to diamond phase. Visible Raman spectroscopy measurements show that the amount of H bonded to trans-polyacetylene (TPA) chains in GBs reduces with Ta increasing to 900 °C, while that of H terminating to the surfaces of diamond grains increases confirmed by FTIR measurements. It reveals that H diffuses from GBs to the surfaces of diamond grains. In this process, the active H extracts H which terminates the diamond surface, leaving a reactive surface site. This gives a chance for the neighbored amorphous carbon clusters to attach to the surface site, so that diamond grains become larger. After 1000 °C annealing, the amount of diamond phase dramatically decreases and diamond transits to amorphous carbon by HRTEM and uv Raman spectroscopy. It is observed that the amount of H bonded to TPA chains in GBs and that of H terminating to the surfaces of diamond grains dramatically decreases from visible Raman spectroscopy and FTIR measurements. It is revealed that H is desorbed from both surfaces of diamond grains and GBs, which forces diamond grains to collapse to amorphous carbon.

Abstract: Observation of high energy and very high emission from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) is crucial to study the gigantic explosion and the underline processes. With a large field-of-view and almost full duty cycle, the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), a sub-array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), is appropriate to monitor the very high energy emission from unpredictable transients such as GRBs. Nevertheless, the main issue for an extensive air shower array is the high energy threshold which limits the horizon of the detector. To address this issue a new trigger method is developed in this article to lower the energy threshold of WCDA for GRB observation. The proposed method significantly improves the detection efficiency of WCDA for gamma-rays around the GRB direction at 10-300 GeV. The sensitivity of the WCDA for GRB detection with the new trigger method is estimated. The achieved sensitivity of the quarter WCDA array above 10 GeV is comparable with that of Fermi-LAT. The data analysis process and corresponding fluence upper limit for GRB 190719C is presented as an example.

Abstract: The main scientific goal of LHAASO-WCDA is to survey gamma-ray sources with energy from 100 GeV to 30 TeV. To observe high-energy shower events, especially to measure the energy spectrum of cosmic rays from 100 TeV to 10 PeV, a dynamic range extension system (WCDA++) is designed to use a 1.5-inch PMT with a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude for each cell in WCDA-1. The dynamic range is extended by using these PMTs to measure the effective charge density in the core region of air shower events, which is an important parameter for identifying the composition of primary particles. The system has been running for more than one year. In this paper, the details of the design and performance of WCDA++ are presented.

Abstract: The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity. γ-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energy γ rays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from 1/2-KM2A and 230 days of data from 3/4-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background after γ/hadron separation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest γ-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass between 105 and 109 GeV. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

Abstract: Androgen receptor (AR) expression is frequently observed in breast cancer, but its association with estrogen receptor (ER) expression in breast cancer remains unclear. This study analyzed the clinicopathological and molecular features associated with AR negativity in both ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancer, trying to elucidate the molecular correlation between AR and ER. Our results showed that AR negativity was associated with different clinicopathological characteristics and molecular features in ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancer. Moreover, AR-positive breast cancer has better clinicopathological features than AR-negative breast cancer, especially in the ER-negative subtype. These results suggest that the role of AR in ER-negative breast cancer is distinctive from that in ER-positive breast cancer.

Abstract: The extension of the cosmic-ray spectrum beyond 1 petaelectronvolt (PeV; 1015 electronvolts) indicates the existence of the so-called PeVatrons—cosmic-ray factories that accelerate particles to PeV energies. We need to locate and identify such objects to find the origin of Galactic cosmic rays1. The principal signature of both electron and proton PeVatrons is ultrahigh-energy (exceeding 100 TeV) γ radiation. Evidence of the presence of a proton PeVatron has been found in the Galactic Centre, according to the detection of a hard-spectrum radiation extending to 0.04 PeV (ref. 2). Although γ-rays with energies slightly higher than 0.1 PeV have been reported from a few objects in the Galactic plane3–6, unbiased identification and in-depth exploration of PeVatrons requires detection of γ-rays with energies well above 0.1 PeV. Here we report the detection of more than 530 photons at energies above 100 teraelectronvolts and up to 1.4 PeV from 12 ultrahigh-energy γ-ray sources with a statistical significance greater than seven standard deviations. Despite having several potential counterparts in their proximity, including pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants and star-forming regions, the PeVatrons responsible for the ultrahigh-energy γ-rays have not yet been firmly localized and identified (except for the Crab Nebula), leaving open the origin of these extreme accelerators. Observations of γ-rays with energies up to 1.4 PeV find that 12 sources in the Galaxy are PeVatrons, one of which is the Crab Nebula.

Abstract: The powder of hematite sample was isothermally reduced with hydrogen-water vapor gas mixture at 1023K-1273K. The results indicated that the overall reduction process of hematite could be separated into three stages (Fe2O3-Fe3O4-FeO-Fe) to respectively study. At 1023K, the average reaction rate dropped by 53.6% in the stage 1 when the water vapor content of gas reactant rose from 0% to 50%, and it decreased by about 77.2% in the stage 2. However, in the stage 3, when the water vapor content only increased from 0% to 20%, it decreased by about 78.1%. Besides, the average reaction rate had a roughly negative linear relationship with the water vapor content, and the results further shown that the effect of water vapor on the reduction reaction increased with increasing reaction temperature at all stages of the reduction reaction. The microstructure of reduction products showed that it still had some holes, which the channel for hydrogen diffusion was not seriously blocked. In order to further clarify the influence of water vapor in the reduction stage, different models were considered, and the range of apparent activation energy of different stages obtained by model fitting was about 20-70 kJ/mol, which also confirmed the absence of solid-state diffusion phenomenon.

Abstract: In estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, changes in biomarker expression after neoadjuvant therapy indicate the therapeutic response and are prognostic. However, there is limited information about the biomarker alteration caused by neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in ER-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. We recruited ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT), neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET), or sequential neoadjuvant endocrine-chemotherapy (NECT) at Peking University Cancer Hospital from 2015 to 2021. A total of 579 patients had paired immunohistochemistry information in both diagnostic biopsy samples and post-neoadjuvant therapy surgical samples. Through a paired comparison of the immunohistochemical information in pre-treatment and post-treatment samples, we found that progesterone receptor (PR) expression reductions were more frequent than ER expression reductions (70.8% vs. 35.2%) after neoadjuvant therapy. The percentage of patients who had a decreased Ki-67 index in the post-operative samples was similar in the three groups (79.8% vs. 79.7% vs. 78.4%). Moreover, PR losses caused by NET were related to low baseline PR expression (p = 0.001), while we did not find a significant association between PR losses and Ki-67 reductions (p = 0.428) or ER losses (p = 0.274). All three types of neoadjuvant therapies caused a reduction in ER, PR, and Ki-67 expression. In conclusion, we found that PR loss after NET was only significantly related to low baseline PR expression, and there is no significant difference in the extent of prognostic factor change including Ki-67 and ER between the PR loss and non-loss groups.

Abstract: We report the discovery of a new unidentified extended $\gamma$-ray source in the Galactic plane named LHAASO J0341+5258 with a pre-trial significance of 8.2 standard deviations above 25 TeV. The best fit position is R.A.$=55.34^{\circ}\pm0.11^{\circ}$ and Dec$=52.97^{\circ}\pm0.07^{\circ}$. The angular size of LHAASO J0341+5258 is $0.29^\circ \pm 0.06^\circ_{stat} \pm0.02^\circ_{sys}$. The flux above 25 TeV is about $20\%$ of the flux of Crab Nebula. Although a power-law fit of the spectrum from 10 TeV to 200 TeV with the photon index $\alpha=2.98 \pm 0.19_{stat} \pm 0.02_{sys}$ is not excluded, the LHAASO data together with the flux upper limit at 10 GeV set by the Fermi LAT observation, indicate a noticeable steepening of an initially hard power-law spectrum %($\alpha \leq 1.75$) spectrum with a cutoff at $\approx 50$ TeV. We briefly discuss the origin of UHE gamma-rays. The lack of an energetic pulsar and a young SNR inside or in the vicinity of LHAASO J0341+5258 challenge, but do not exclude both the leptonic and hadronic scenarios of gamma-ray production., Comment: Accepted by APJL

The first detection of PeV γ rays from astrophysical sources may provide a very sensitive probe of the effect of the Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), which results in decay of high-energy γ rays in the superluminal scenario and hence a sharp cutoff of the energy spectrum. Two highest energy sources are studied in this work. No signature of the existence of the LIV is found in their energy spectra, and the lower limits on the LIV energy scale are derived. Our results show that the first-order LIV energy scale should be higher than about 10^{5} times the Planck scale M_{Pl} and that the second-order LIV scale is10^{-3}M_{Pl}. Both limits improve by at least one order of magnitude the previous results.

Abstract: We report the discovery of an extended very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray source around the location of the middle-aged (207.8 kyr) pulsar PSR J0622+3749 with the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). The source is detected with a significance of 8.2σ for E25 TeV assuming a Gaussian template. The best-fit location is (right ascension, declination) =(95.47°±0.11°,37.92°±0.09°), and the extension is 0.40°±0.07°. The energy spectrum can be described by a power-law spectrum with an index of -2.92±0.17_{stat}±0.02_{sys}. No clear extended multiwavelength counterpart of the LHAASO source has been found from the radio to sub-TeV bands. The LHAASO observations are consistent with the scenario that VHE electrons escaped from the pulsar, diffused in the interstellar medium, and scattered the interstellar radiation field. If interpreted as the pulsar halo scenario, the diffusion coefficient, inferred for electrons with median energies of ∼160 TeV, is consistent with those obtained from the extended halos around Geminga and Monogem and much smaller than that derived from cosmic ray secondaries. The LHAASO discovery of this source thus likely enriches the class of so-called pulsar halos and confirms that high-energy particles generally diffuse very slowly in the disturbed medium around pulsars.

Abstract: We report the discovery of a UHE gamma-ray source, LHAASO J2108+5157, by analyzing the LHAASO-KM2A data of 308.33 live days. Significant excess of gamma-ray induced showers is observed in both energy bands of 25-100 TeV and $\gt$100 TeV with 9.5 sigma and 8.5 sigma, respectively. This source is not significantly favored as an extensive source with the angular extension smaller than the point-spread function of KM2A. The measured energy spectrum from 20 to 200 TeV can be approximately described by a power-law function with an index of -2.83$\pm$ 0.18stat. A harder spectrum is demanded at lower energies considering the flux upper limit set by Fermi-LAT observations. The position of the gamma-ray emission is correlated with a giant molecular cloud, which favors a hadronic origin. No obvious counterparts have been found, deeper multiwavelength observations will help to shed new light on this intriguing UHE source., Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, accepted by ApJL

Abstract: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) in treating relapse/refractory DLBCL (R/R DLBCL) and associated complete-remission rate (CR).PubMed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBM, and Wanfang databases were searched, and literature was collected up to January 2019. According to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently reviewed and screened literature, extracted required data and crossly checked them. This meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software.This study finally included 13 English literatures and 263 cases. There was no heterogeneity among all these studies, therefore, fixed effect model was used. Meta-analysis findings showed that total CR rate of R/R DLBCL treated with CAR-T was 46.8% (95% CI: 0.408-0.533). Subgroup analysis showed that CR rate of CD28 group was slightly higher [52.5%, with 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.441-0.602] compared to that of 4-1BB group (41.5%, with 95% CI: 0.324-0.510). CR rate of CD19 group was slightly higher (49.2%, with 95% CI: 0.429-0.556) compared to that of CD20 group (42.2%, with 95% CI: 0.231-0.639). Funnel chart of total CR rate, co-stimulatory factor, and target antigen demonstrated fundamental symmetry. Moreover, age, HSCT administration, CAR-T cell counts, and drug pre-treatment also affected immunotherapy on CAR-T on R/R DLBCL.CAR-T treatment for R/R DLBCL demonstrated evident curative effect and high complete remission rate. CAR-T cell immunotherapy would be expected to become mainstream therapy for hematolymph system tumors.

Abstract: The main scientific goal of the LHAASO WFCTA experiment is to measure the cosmic ray energy spectra and composition from 10 TeV to 1 EeV. Cherenkov photons in the extensive air shower measured by the SiPM camera of Cherenkov telescopes can be used to reconstruct the cosmic ray energy. The absolute calibration of the camera is a crucial step to achieve the accurate measurement of the cosmic ray energy spectrum. A multi-wavelength cylindrical illuminator based on LEDs is developed and mounted inside the telescope to calibrate and monitor the camera, and the illuminator’s stability is better than 0.5% under the temperature variation from -26 to 26 ° C. A portable probe with a single photoelectron resolution of 21.6% is developed. After calibration by National Institute of Metrology, China (NIM), the probe is taken to the LHAASO site to measure the absolute photon density of the cylindrical illuminator inside the telescope. Based on the illuminator with known photon density, the photon conversion factor of the camera can be calibrated, and the overall calibration uncertainty is less than 2.6%.

Abstract: We have studied the magnetic and electrical transport properties of epitaxial NiAs-type CrTe thin films grown on SrTiO3(111) substrates. Unlike rectangle hysteresis loops obtained from magnetic measurements, we have identified intriguing extra bump/dip features from anomalous Hall experiments on the films with thicknesses less than 12 nm. This observed Hall anomaly is phenomenologically consistent with the occurrence of a topological Hall effect(THE) in chiral magnets with a skyrmion phase. Furthermore, the THE contribution can be tuned by the film thickness, showing the key contribution of asymmetric interfaces in stabilizing Neel-type skyrmions. Our work demonstrates that a CrTe thin film on SrTiO3(111) substrates is a good material candidate for studying real-space topological transport.

Abstract: Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a powerful technique to grow high quality thin films with atomic precision, and multiprobe scanning tunneling potentiometry (STP) is an ideal tool to probe electronic transportation in nanometer scale. We combine the two advanced techniques together and successfully construct a unique system of MBE, STP, and four-probe in situ transport measurement. Excellent functions of this system have been demonstrated by experiments on several materials under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The system provides an ideal platform for in situ study of electronic transport properties of various thin films, such as two-dimensional superconductors and topological insulators.

Abstract: The LHAASO-WFCTA experiment, which aims to observe cosmic rays in the sub-EeV range using the fluorescence technique, uses a new generation of high-performance telescopes. To ensure that the experiment has excellent detection capability associated with the measurement of the energy spectrum, the primary composition of cosmic rays, and so on, an accurate geometrical reconstruction of air-shower events is fundamental. This paper describes the development and testing of geometrical reconstruction for stereo viewed events using the WFCTA (Wide Field of view Cherenkov/Fluorescence Telescope Array) detectors. Two approaches, which take full advantage of the WFCTA detectors, are investigated. One is the stereo-angular method, which uses the pointing of triggered SiPMs in the shower trajectory, and the other is the stereo-timing method, which uses the triggering time of the fired SiPMs. The results show that both methods have good geometrical resolution; the resolution of the stereo-timing method is slightly better than the stereo-angular method because the resolution of the latter is slightly limited by the shower track length.

Abstract: A sub-array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), KM2A is mainly designed to observe a large fraction of the northern sky to hunt for γ-ray sources at energies above 10 TeV. Even though the detector construction is still underway, half of the KM2A array has been operating stably since the end of 2019. In this paper, we present the KM2A data analysis pipeline and the first observation of the Crab Nebula, a standard candle in very high energy γ-ray astronomy. We detect γ-ray signals from the Crab Nebula in both energy ranges of 10 100 TeV and 100 TeV with high significance, by analyzing the KM2A data of 136 live days between December 2019 and May 2020. With the observations, we test the detector performance, including angular resolution, pointing accuracy and cosmic-ray background rejection power. The energy spectrum of the Crab Nebula in the energy range 10-250 TeV fits well with a single power-law function dN/dE = (1.13 0.05 0.08 ) 10 (E/20 TeV) cm s TeV . It is consistent with previous measurements by other experiments. This opens a new window of γ-ray astronomy above 0.1 PeV through which new ultrahigh-energy γ-ray phenomena, such as cosmic PeVatrons, might be discovered.

Abstract: Stable ferroelectricity with high transition temperature in nanostructures is needed for miniaturizing ferroelectric devices. Here, we report the discovery of the stable in-plane spontaneous polarization in atomic-thick tin telluride (SnTe), down to a 1-unit cell (UC) limit. The ferroelectric transition temperature Tcof 1-UC SnTe film is greatly enhanced from the bulk value of 98 kelvin and reaches as high as 270 kelvin. Moreover, 2- to 4-UC SnTe films show robust ferroelectricity at room temperature.The interplay between semiconducting properties and ferroelectricity in this two-dimensional material may enable a wide range of applications in nonvolatile high-density memories, nanosensors, and electronics., United States.

Abstract: Layered material indium selenide (In x Se y ) is a promising candidate for building next-generation electronic and photonic devices. We report a zirconium aided MBE growth of this van der Waals material. When co-depositing zirconium and selenium onto an indium phosphide substrate with a substrate temperature of 400°C at a constant zirconium flux rate of 0.01 ML/min, the polymorphic In x Se y layer emerges on top of the insulating ZrSe2 layer. Different archetypes, such as InSe, α-In2Se3 and β-In2Se3, are found in the In x Se y layers. A negative magnetoresistance of 40% at 2K under 9T magnetic field is observed. Such an In x Se y /ZrSe2 heterostructure with good lattice-matching may serve as a candidate for device applications.

Abstract: Low-dimensional materials exhibit exotic properties and have attracted widespread attention. However, many low-dimensional materials are highly sensitive to air, making it challenging to investigate their intrinsic properties with ex situ measurements. To overcome such challenges, here, we developed a system combined with sample growth, electrode deposition, and in situ electrical transport measurement under ultra-high vacuum condition. The in situ deposition of electrodes enables desired ohmic electrical contacts between the probes and samples, which allows continuous temperature dependent resistance (R-T) measurements. Combined with a scanning tunneling microscope, surface morphology, electronic structure, and electrical transport properties of the same sample can be systematically investigated. We demonstrate the performance of this in situ electrical transport measurement system with three-unit-cell thick FeSe films grown on Nb-doped SrTiO3(001) substrates, where a low-noise R-T curve with a zero-resistance superconducting transition temperature of ∼30 K is observed.

Abstract: 2D SnTe films with a thickness of as little as 2 atomic layers (ALs) have recently been shown to be ferroelectric with in-plane polarization. Remarkably, they exhibit transition temperatures (Tc ) much higher than that of bulk SnTe. Here, combining molecular beam epitaxy, variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, and ab initio calculations, the underlying mechanism of the Tc enhancement is unveiled, which relies on the formation of γ-SnTe, a van der Waals orthorhombic phase with antipolar inter-layer coupling in few-AL thick SnTe films. In this phase, 4n - 2 AL (n = 1, 2, 3…) thick films are found to possess finite in-plane polarization (space group Pmn21), while 4n AL thick films have zero total polarization (space group Pnma). Above 8 AL, the γ-SnTe phase becomes metastable, and can convert irreversibly to the bulk rock salt phase as the temperature is increased. This finding unambiguously bridges experiments on ultrathin SnTe films with predictions of robust ferroelectricity in GeS-type monochalcogenide monolayers. The observed high transition temperature, together with the strong spin-orbit coupling and van der Waals structure, underlines the potential of atomically thin γ-SnTe films for the development of novel spontaneous polarization-based devices.

Abstract: The genus Paedocypris is a newly described taxon of minifish species that are characterized by extensive chromosome evolution and one of the smallest known vertebrate nuclear genomes. Paedocypris features a tiny adult size, a short generation time, low fecundity and fragmented tropical habitats, which are factors that favor rapid speciation. Most recently, we have revealed that P. progenetica (Pp), the type species of the genus Paedocypris, has an unusual mtDNA bearing - within its D-loop - a tandem array of a 34-bp repeat sequence called the minifish repeat, which shows compromised replication efficiency in vitro. Here we report that Pp exhibits high genetic variation in mtDNA size. The efficiency of D-loop amplification was found to depend upon primers. Interestingly, Pp individuals of one and the same population differed drastically in mtDNA size resulting from varying copy numbers of the minifish repeat. We conclude that minifish has a high mutation rate and perhaps represents a rapidly evolving taxon of vertebrates.

Abstract: We report the successful growth of tetragonal FeS film with one or two unit-cell (UC) thickness on SrTiO3(001) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. Large lattice constant mismatch with the substrate leads to high density of defects in single UC FeS, while it has been significantly reduced in double UC thick film due to the lattice relaxation. The scanning tunneling spectra on the surface of FeS thin film reveal the electronic doping effect of single UC FeS from the substrate. In addition, at the Fermi level, the energy gaps of approximate 1.5 meV are observed in films of both thicknesses at 4.6 K and below. The absence of coherence peaks of gap spectra may be related to the preformed Cooper-pairs without phase coherence., 11 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: A single atomic slice of {\alpha}-tin-stanene-has been predicted to host quantum spin Hall effect at room temperature, offering an ideal platform to study low-dimensional and topological physics. While recent research has intensively focused on monolayer stanene, the quantum size effect in few-layer stanene could profoundly change material properties, but remains unexplored. By exploring the layer degree of freedom, we unexpectedly discover superconductivity in few-layer stanene down to a bilayer grown on PbTe, while bulk {\alpha}-tin is not superconductive. Through substrate engineering, we further realize a transition from a single-band to a two-band superconductor with a doubling of the transition temperature. In-situ angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) together with first-principles calculations elucidate the corresponding band structure. Interestingly, the theory also indicates the existence of a topologically nontrivial band. Our experimental findings open up novel strategies for constructing two-dimensional topological superconductors., Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate postprandial effects of two Chinese liquors on s elected cardiovascular disease risk factors in humans. Sixteen healthy men were randomized into three groups in a three-way crossover study: tea-flavor liquor (TFL), traditional Chinese liquor (TCL) and water control (WC). Every subject consumed 60 mL of either liquor (45% (v/v) ethanol) or water together with a high-fat meal, respectively. Compared with baseline, serum uric acid was significantly increased in TFL group (0.5-hour: P = 0.012; 1-hour: P = 0.001; 2-hour: P = 0.008) and it was significantly decreased in WC group (1-hour: P = 0.001; 2-hour: P = 0.001; 4-hour: P < 0.001), while uric acid was non-significantly increased in the TCL group. High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was significantly increased in the TCL (P = 0.014) and WC (P = 0.008) groups at postprandial 4 hours compared with baseline. There was no significant difference between groups during the postprandial period for these two parameters or other biochemical parameters. In conclusion, both liquors increased postprandial uric acid, and no significant difference was observed for the effects of TFL and TCL on the measured biochemical parameters.

Abstract: Based on the 2009 Thematic Household Survey in Hong Kong, this study compared health status and utilization of health care services in Hong Kong between migrants from Mainland China and natives. Overall, Mainland migrants reported lower socioeconomic conditions, worse health status, and less health care services utilization than the natives. After controlling for socio-demographic factors, we found that the migrants were 1.2 times more likely to report fair or poor health and 0.78 times less likely to report having a usual source of care, compared with the natives. Mainland migrants also had fewer physician visits and relied more on the public sector. Within the migrant group, those who had language advantage had more visits, and the recent arrivals who stayed in Hong Kong for three years or less had fewer visits and were far less likely to have a usual source of care. The findings underscore migration as an important social determinant of health in Hong Kong. A combination of targeted social and health policies is needed to help Mainland migrants better integrate into society and to improve their access to care. Programs should be tailored to address varying needs from different subgroups among migrants.

Abstract: Two Potato virus Y (PVY) isolates collected in Brazil, PVY-AGA and PVY-MON, were identified as recombinants between two parent genomes, PVYNTN and PVY-NE-11, with a novel type of genomic pattern. The new recombinants had an ordinary PVYNTN genome structure for approximately 6·7-kb from the 5′-end of the genome whereas the 3′-terminal 3·0-kb segment had two fragments of NE-11-like sequence separated by another small PVYNTN-like fragment. PVY strains are defined based on the hypersensitive resistance (HR) response in potato indicators. Both PVY-AGA and PVY-MON isolates did not induce the HR in potato cultivars carrying Ny, Nc, or (putative) Nz genes and thus were able to overcome all known resistance genes to PVY. Only one of the two isolates, PVY-AGA, induced a vein necrosis reaction in tobacco. The biological responses of the potato indicators and tobacco defined PVY-MON as an isolate of the PVYE strain. To distinguish PVY-AGA and PVY-MON from other PVYNTN isolates, an RT-PCR test was developed utilizing new specific primers from the capsid protein gene area and producing a characteristic 955-bp band. Serological profiling of these PVY isolates with three monoclonal antibodies revealed an unusual reactivity, where one of the two commercial PVYN-specific monoclonal antibodies did not recognize PVY-AGA. The ability of these new PVY recombinants to overcome resistance genes in potato producing mild or no symptoms, combined with the lack of serological reactivity towards at least one PVYN-specific antibody may present a significant threat posed by these isolates to seed potato production areas.

The temperature dependence of viscosity was described by the general Arrhenius equation, and the contributions of bridging oxygen (O0), non-bridging oxygen (O–) and free oxygen (O2–) to viscous activation energy in this equation were taken into account. Compositions of three types of oxygen were calculated from optical basicity using the Toop–Samis model combined with the method proposed by Ottonello and Moretti. The present method has been applied to estimate the viscosity of silicate slag in CaO–FeO–MgO–MnO–SiO2 system. The comparison between estimated and experimental values shows good agreements, with a mean deviation of ∼20%.

Abstract: Electron sources driven by femtosecond laser have important applications in many aspects, and the research about the intrinsic emittance is becoming more and more crucial. The intrinsic emittance of polycrystalline copper cathode, which was illuminated by femtosecond pulses (FWHM of the pulse duration was about 100 fs) with photon energies above and below the work function, was measured with an extremely low bunch charge (single-electron pulses) based on free expansion method. A minimum emittance was obtained at the photon energy very close to the effective work function of the cathode. When the photon energy decreased below the effective work function, emittance increased rather than decreased or flattened out to a constant. By investigating the dependence of photocurrent density on the incident laser intensity, we found the emission excited by pulsed photons with sub-work-function energies contained two-photon photoemission. In addition, the portion of two-photon photoemission current increased with the reduction of photon energy. We attributed the increase of emittance to the effect of two-photon photoemission. This work shows that conventional method of reducing the photon energy of excited light source to approach the room temperature limit of the intrinsic emittance may be infeasible for femtosecond laser. There would be an optimized photon energy value near the work function to obtain the lowest emittance for pulsed laser pumped photocathode.Electron sources driven by femtosecond laser have important applications in many aspects, and the research about the intrinsic emittance is becoming more and more crucial.

Abstract: Rotigotine, a non-ergolinic dopamine receptor agonist for treatment of Parkinson's disease was continuously administered over 48 h (0.5 mg/kg s.c., slow release formulation) to conscious rats striatally implanted with a microdialysis probe. Subsequently, the levels of rotigotine increased to a maximum of 3.42 + 2.1 nmol/l and remained at a level of 2.81 +/- 0.82 nmol/l for 48 h. Concomitantly, the dopamine levels consistently decreased to 20% of the control level. This suggests that the sustained administration of rotigotine provides stable extracellular drug levels in the striatum resulting in continuous stimulation of dopamine receptors.

Abstract: International audience; A Monte-Carlo simulation code, named as SimCSR, has been developed for the isochronous mass spectrometry experiments in the experimental storage ring (CSRe). The revolution times of the fragments ions stored in the CSRe, which were produced in the fragmentation of Ni-58 primary beam are reproduced very well by the SimCSR, although only linear components are considered. The standard deviation of the revolution time is found to be strongly affected by the phase slip factor, the width of the relative momentum difference and the instability of magnetic field. Based on the simulations, we outline and discuss the methods to reduce the standard deviation of the revolution time.

Abstract: We report the superconductivity evolution of one unit cell (1-UC) and 2-UC FeSe films on $\mathrm{SrTi}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$(001) substrates with potassium (K) adsorption. By in situ scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurement, we find that the superconductivity in 1-UC FeSe films is continuously suppressed with increasing K coverage, whereas nonsuperconducting 2-UC FeSe films become superconducting with a gap of $\ensuremath{\sim}17\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{meV}$ or $\ensuremath{\sim}11\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{meV}$ depending on whether the underlying 1-UC films are superconducting or not. This work explicitly reveals that the FeSe/STO interface plays a vital role in enhancing Cooper pairing in both 1-UC and 2-UC FeSe films.
