Hydrodynamics with Triangle Anomalies
We consider the hydrodynamic regime of theories with quantum anomalies for
global currents. We show that a hitherto discarded term in the conserve current
is not only allowed by symmetries, but is in fact required by triangle
anomalies and the second law of thermodynamics. This term leads to a number of
new effects, one of which is chiral separation in a rotating fluid at nonzero
chemical potential. The new kinetic coefficients can be expressed, in a unique
fashion, through the anomalies coefficients and the equation of state. We
briefly discuss the relevance of this new hydrodynamic term for physical
situations, including heavy ion collisions.Comment: 4 pages; v2: error in Eq.(4) correcte

Perspective review of what is needed for molecular-specific fluorescence-guided surgery
Molecular image-guided surgery has the potential for translating the tools of molecular pathology to real-time guidance in surgery. As a whole, there are incredibly positive indicators of growth, including the first United States Food and Drug Administration clearance of an enzyme-biosynthetic-activated probe for surgery guidance, and a growing number of companies producing agents and imaging systems. The strengths and opportunities must be continued but are hampered by important weaknesses and threats within the field. A key issue to solve is the inability of macroscopic imaging tools to resolve microscopic biological disease heterogeneity and the limitations in microscopic systems matching surgery workflow. A related issue is that parsing out true molecular-specific uptake from simple-enhanced permeability and retention is hard and requires extensive pathologic analysis or multiple in vivo tests, comparing fluorescence accumulation with standard histopathology and immunohistochemistry. A related concern in the field is the over-reliance on a finite number of chosen preclinical models, leading to early clinical translation when the probe might not be optimized for high intertumor variation or intratumor heterogeneity. The ultimate potential may require multiple probes, as are used in molecular pathology, and a combination with ultrahigh-resolution imaging and image recognition systems, which capture the data at a finer granularity than is possible by the surgeon. Alternatively, one might choose a more generalized approach by developing the tracer based on generic hallmarks of cancer to create a more "one-size-fits-all" concept, similar to metabolic aberrations as exploited in fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) (i.e., Warburg effect) or tumor acidity. Finally, methods to approach the problem of production cost minimization and regulatory approvals in a manner consistent with the potential revenue of the field will be important. In this area, some solid steps have been demonstrated in the use of fluorescent labeling commercial antibodies and separately in microdosing studies with small molecules. (C) The Authors
Berry Curvature, Triangle Anomalies, and the Chiral Magnetic Effect in Fermi Liquids
In a three-dimensional Fermi liquid, quasiparticles near the Fermi surface
may possess a Berry curvature. We show that if the Berry curvature has a
nonvanishing flux through the Fermi surface, the particle number associated
with this Fermi surface has a triangle anomaly in external electromagnetic
fields. We show how Landau's Fermi liquid theory should be modified to take
into account the Berry curvature. We show that the "chiral magnetic effect"
also emerges from the Berry curvature flux.Comment: 5 pages, published versio
Quasi-static aberrations induced by laser guide stars in adaptive optics
Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS AO) systems use the return from an artificial guide star to measure the wavefront aberrations in the direction of the science object. We observe quasi-static differences between the measured wavefront and the wavefront aberration of the science object. This paper quantifies and explains the source of the difference between the wavefronts measured using an LGS and a natural guide star at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which can be as high as 1000 nm RMS
Colorectal cancer screening: From test performance to participant experience
__Abstract__
Influenza A virus is a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family. The influenza A viruses are classified on the basis of antigenic properties of the glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) into 17 HA subtypes (H1-H17) and 10 NA subtypes (N1-N10) . These different subtypes of HA and NA are used in influenza A virus nomenclature, to discriminate viruses based on the surface glycoproteins (e.g. H5N1, H3N2). All subtypes with the exception of H17N10 circulate in wild birds, which are considered their natural reservoir. The H17N10 subtype has recently been isolated from bats, raising the possibility that birds are not the exclusive influenza virus reservoir. Influenza A virus is a single-stranded negative-sense segmented RNA virus, with a genome consisting of eight gene segments, that can encode up to 16 proteins (Fig 1a)

The International Mass Loading Service
The International Mass Loading Service computes four loadings: a) atmospheric
pressure loading; b) land water storage loading; c) oceanic tidal loading; and
d) non-tidal oceanic loading. The service provides to users the mass loading
time series in three forms: 1) pre-computed time series for a list of 849 space
geodesy stations; 2) pre-computed time series on the global 1deg x 1deg grid;
and 3) on-demand Internet service for a list of stations and a time range
specified by the user. The loading displacements are provided for the time
period from 1979.01.01 through present, updated on an hourly basis, and have
latencies 8-20 hours.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the Reference
