Evidence for a collinear easy-plane magnetic structure of multiferroic EuF e3(B O3)4: Spectroscopic and theoretical studies
© 2016 American Physical Society.We performed high-resolution polarized optical transmission spectroscopy and theoretical studies of multiferroic EuFe3(BO3)4 single crystals in the three phases: paramagnetic R32(T>Ts=84K) and P3121(Ts>T>TN=34K), and antiferromagnetic (T<TN) ones. The analysis of the spectra reveals interesting details of the magnetic structure, namely, a collinear arrangement of the iron magnetic moments along the C2 symmetry axis in the ab crystallographic plane of EuFe3(BO3)4 below TN. Spectral signatures of the phase transitions and the spin-phonon interaction are observed and discussed. Reliable crystal-field and exchange-interaction parameters are obtained and used to model the magnetic susceptibility of the compound. The results of detailed calculations of the electric polarization of EuFe3(BO3)4 in the R32 phase are presented, and mechanisms of the magnetoelectric response are discussed. We detect a strong effect of impurities (that enter the crystal from a flux in the course of the crystal growth) on the structural phase-transition temperature and demonstrate a coexistence of both R32 and P3121 phases down to the lowest temperatures in a EuFe3(BO3)4 crystal grown with the Bi2Mo3O12 based flux, due to inhomogeneous distribution of impurity Bi3+ ions. Our study can be considered as a demonstration of the abilities of optical spectroscopy in delivering new information on a magnetic compound, even in the case when other methods fail

Non-Newtonian Couette-Poiseuille flow of a dilute gas
The steady state of a dilute gas enclosed between two infinite parallel
plates in relative motion and under the action of a uniform body force parallel
to the plates is considered. The Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model kinetic equation
is analytically solved for this Couette-Poiseuille flow to first order in the
force and for arbitrary values of the Knudsen number associated with the shear
rate. This allows us to investigate the influence of the external force on the
non-Newtonian properties of the Couette flow. Moreover, the Couette-Poiseuille
flow is analyzed when the shear-rate Knudsen number and the scaled force are of
the same order and terms up to second order are retained. In this way, the
transition from the bimodal temperature profile characteristic of the pure
force-driven Poiseuille flow to the parabolic profile characteristic of the
pure Couette flow through several intermediate stages in the Couette-Poiseuille
flow are described. A critical comparison with the Navier-Stokes solution of
the problem is carried out.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figures; v2: discussion on boundary conditions added; 10

Electrochemical Nanoprobes for Single-Cell Analysis
The measurement of key molecules in individual cells with minimal disruption to the biological milieu is the next frontier in single-cell analyses. Nanoscale devices are ideal analytical tools because of their small size and their potential for high spatial and temporal resolution recordings. Here, we report the fabrication of disk-shaped carbon nanoelectrodes whose radius can be precisely tuned within the range 5–200 nm. The functionalization of the nanoelectrode with platinum allowed the monitoring of oxygen consumption outside and inside a brain slice. Furthermore, we show that nanoelectrodes of this type can be used to impale individual cells to perform electrochemical measurements within the cell with minimal disruption to cell function. These nanoelectrodes can be fabricated combined with scanning ion conductance microscopy probes, which should allow high resolution electrochemical mapping of species on or in living cells
Ten-year long-term outcomes of conventional and eversion carotid endarterectomy. Multicenter study
Aim. To analyze the immediate and long-term outcomes of eversion and conventional carotid endarterectomy (CE) with patch angioplasty.Material and methods. For the period from February 1, 2006 to September 1, 2021, the present retrospective multicenter open comparative study included 25106 patients who underwent CE. Depending on the technique of operation, the following groups were formed: group 1 (n=18362) — eversion CE; group 2 (n=6744) — conventional CE with patch angioplasty. The long-term follow-up period was 124,7±53,8 months.Results. In the hospital postoperative period, the groups were comparable in incidence of all complications: lethal outcome (group 1: 0,19%, n=36; group 2: 0,17%, n=12; p=0,89; odds ratio (OR) =1,1; 95% confidence interval (CI) =0,57- 2,11); myocardial infarction (MI) (group 1: 0,15%, n=28; group 2: 0,13%, n=9; p=0,87; OR=1,14; 95% CI=0,53-2,42); stroke (group 1: 0,33%, n=62; group 2: 0,4%, n=27; p=0,53; OR=0,84; 95% CI=0,53-1,32); bleeding with hematoma formation (group 1: 0,39%, n=73; group 2: 0,41%, n=28; p=0,93; OR=0,95; 95% CI=0,61-1,48); internal carotid artery (ICA) thrombosis (group 1: 0,05%, n=11; group 2: 0,07%, n=5, p=0,9; OR=0,8; 95% CI=0,28-2,32). In the long-term follow-up, the groups were comparable only in MI incidence: group 1: 0,56%, n=103; group 2: 0,66%, n=45; p=0,37; OR=0,84; 95% CI=0,59-1,19. All other complications were more frequent after conventional CE with patch angioplasty: all-cause death (group 1: 2,7%, n=492; group 2: 9,1%, n=616; p<0,0001; OR=0,27; 95% CI=0,24-0,3); lethal ischemic stroke (group 1: 1,0%, n=180; group 2: 5,5%, n=371; p<0,0001; OR=0,17; 95% CI=0,14-0,21); non-lethal ischemic stroke (group 1: 0,62%, n=114; group 2: 7,0%, n=472; p<0,0001; OR=0,08; 95% CI=0,06-0,1); ICA restenosis >60%, requiring re-revascularization (group 1: 1,6%, n=296; group 2: 12,6%, n=851; p<0,0001; OR=0,11; 95% CI=0,09-0,12). Thus, the composite endpoint (lethal ischemic stroke + non-lethal ischemic stroke + MI) after conventional CE with patch angioplasty was more than 6 times higher than this parameter of eversion CE: group 1: 2,2%, n=397; group 2: 13,2%, n=888; p<0,0001; OR=0,14; 95% CI=0,12-1,16.Conclusion. Conventional CE with patch angioplasty is not prefer for cerebral revascularization in the presence of hemodynamically significant ICA stenosis due to the high prevalence of deaths, stroke, and ICA restenosis in the long-term follow-up

Progress from ASDEX Upgrade experiments in preparing the physics basis of ITER operation and DEMO scenario development
An overview of recent results obtained at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) is given. A work flow for predictive profile modelling of AUG discharges was established which is able to reproduce experimental H-mode plasma profiles based on engineering parameters only. In the plasma center, theoretical predictions on plasma current redistribution by a dynamo effect were confirmed experimentally. For core transport, the stabilizing effect of fast ion distributions on turbulent transport is shown to be important to explain the core isotope effect and improves the description of hollow low-Z impurity profiles. The L-H power threshold of hydrogen plasmas is not affected by small helium admixtures and it increases continuously from the deuterium to the hydrogen level when the hydrogen concentration is raised from 0 to 100%. One focus of recent campaigns was the search for a fusion relevant integrated plasma scenario without large edge localised modes (ELMs). Results from six different ELM-free confinement regimes are compared with respect to reactor relevance: ELM suppression by magnetic perturbation coils could be attributed to toroidally asymmetric turbulent fluctuations in the vicinity of the separatrix. Stable improved confinement mode plasma phases with a detached inner divertor were obtained using a feedback control of the plasma β. The enhanced D α H-mode regime was extended to higher heating power by feedback controlled radiative cooling with argon. The quasi-coherent exhaust regime was developed into an integrated scenario at high heating power and energy confinement, with a detached divertor and without large ELMs. Small ELMs close to the separatrix lead to peeling-ballooning stability and quasi continuous power exhaust. Helium beam density fluctuation measurements confirm that transport close to the separatrix is important to achieve the different ELM-free regimes. Based on separatrix plasma parameters and interchange-drift-Alfvén turbulence, an analytic model was derived that reproduces the experimentally found important operational boundaries of the density limit and between L- and H-mode confinement. Feedback control for the X-point radiator (XPR) position was established as an important element for divertor detachment control. Stable and detached ELM-free phases with H-mode confinement quality were obtained when the XPR was moved 10 cm above the X-point. Investigations of the plasma in the future flexible snow-flake divertor of AUG by means of first SOLPS-ITER simulations with drifts activated predict beneficial detachment properties and the activation of an additional strike point by the drifts
