Pressure-Induced Magnetic Quantum Phase Transition in Gapped Spin System KCuCl3
Magnetization and neutron elastic scattering measurements under a hydrostatic
pressure were performed on KCuCl3, which is a three-dimensionally coupled spin
dimer system with a gapped ground state. It was found that an intradimer
interaction decreases with increasing pressure, while the sum of interdimer
interactions increases. This leads to the shrinkage of spin gap. A quantum
phase transition from a gapped state to an antiferromagnetic state occurs at Pc
? 8.2 kbar. For P > P c, magnetic Bragg reflections were observed at reciprocal
lattice points equivalent to those for the lowest magnetic excitation at zero
pressure. This confirms that the spin gap decreases and closes under applied
pressure.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Association of Nutrition Education and Its Interaction with Lifestyle Factors on Kidney Function Parameters and Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in Taiwan
We evaluated the interactive effects of nutrition education (NE) and lifestyle factors on kidney function parameters and cardiovascular risk factors among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This cross-sectional cohort study recruited 2176 CKD stages 3–5 patients aged > 20 years from Integrated Chronic Kidney Disease Care Network, Shuang Ho Hospital, Taiwan between December 2008 and April 2019. The multivariable regression analysis was performed to investigate the interactive effects of NE with lifestyle factors on kidney function parameters and cardiovascular risk factors. Relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion (AP) were applied to assess additive interaction. Patients who were smoking or physically inactive but received NE had better estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (β: 3.83, 95% CI: 1.17–6.49 or β: 3.67, 95% CI: 2.04–5.29) compared to those without NE. Patients with smoking and NE significantly reduced risks for having high glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by 47%, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by 38%, and high corrected calcium (C-Ca) by 50% compared to those without NE. Moreover, NE and smoking or inactive physical activity exhibited an excess risk of high C-Ca (RERI: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.09–0.85 for smoking or RERI: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.01–0.90 and AP: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.03–0.99 for physical activity). Our study suggests that CKD patients who were enrolled in the NE program had better kidney function. Thus, NE could be associated with slowing kidney function decline and improving cardiovascular risk factors

Association between metabolic parameters and risks of anemia and electrolyte disturbances among stages 3-5 chronic kidney disease patients in Taiwan
[[abstract]]Background: Anemia and electrolyte disturbances are adverse outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study explored the association between metabolic parameters with anemia and electrolyte and mineral disorders among CKD patients in Taiwan.
Methods: This cross-sectional study with a total of 2176 CKD stages 3-5 patients were collected from the Department of Nephrology at Shuang Ho Hospital, Taipei Medical University through the "Chronic Kidney Disease Common Care Network" database from December 2008 to April 2019. A multivariable-adjusted logistic regression expressed as odd ratios (OR) was performed to assess the association of metabolic parameters with anemia and electrolyte and mineral disorders.
Results: Elevated diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were associated with presence of anemia. Similarly, elevated fasting blood glucose and HbA1c were associated with hyponatremia (OR = 1.59 and 1.58, P for both < 0.01) and hypercalcemia (OR = 1.38 and 1.33, P for both < 0.05). There was no significant association in serum lipid levels with presence of anemia. However, total triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were only associated with presence of hypercalcemia (OR = 1.43, 1.95 and 3.08, respectively, P for all < 0.05).
Conclusions: Elevated diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and blood lipids are associated with anemia or electrolyte and mineral disorders in CKD patients
The maiden flight of Hinotori-C: The first C band full polarimetric circularly polarized synthetic aperture radar in the world
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a very powerful tool in microwave remote sensing due to its capability of all-weather and day-to-night time operation [1]. Carl Wiley invented SAR in 1951 to overcome the poor azimuth resolution in conventional Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR), followed by a patent filed in 1954 [2]. Unlike SLAR, using the forward motion of the platform and the principle of Doppler beam sharpening, the azimuth resolution of a SAR is equal to half the antenna length and is independent of the range distance [3]. Since the invention of SAR, steered by the breakthrough in science and technology, many advanced SAR techniques have been proposed and realized. These techniques include, but are not limited to, spotlight SAR for a finer image resolution [4], scan SAR for a wider swath coverage [5], and the remarkable polarimetric [6] and interferometric [7] SAR techniques using multichannel SAR system [8], [9], [10] for advanced remote sensing applications. Over the years, SAR has been widely used in different types of application, particularly in Earth observation such as disaster damage assessment [11], land deformation observation [12], oceanography [13], terrain classification [14], target detection [15], and so on. The diversified applications of SAR have encouraged the rapid development of airborne and spaceborne SAR sensors
