Complex regional pain syndrome in a competitive athlete and regional osteoporosis assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: a case report.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is rarely utilized in the clinical care of patients with complex regional pain syndrome, but may be useful for the non-invasive determination of regional bone fragility and fracture risk, as well as muscular atrophy and regional body composition. This is the first report in the literature of complex regional pain syndrome and musculoskeletal co-morbidities in an athlete, and is the first to focus on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for the clinical assessment of complex regional pain syndrome
Numerical evidence of the axial magnetic effect
The axial magnetic field, which couples to left- and right-handed fermions with opposite signs, may generate an equilibrium dissipationless energy flow of fermions in the direction of the field even in the presence of interactions. We report on numerical observation of this axial magnetic effect in quenched SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find that in the deconfinement (plasma) phase the energy flow grows linearly with the increase of the strength of the axial magnetic field. In the confinement (hadron) phase the axial magnetic effect is absent. Our study indirectly confirms the existence of the chiral vortical effect since both these effects have the same physical origin related to the presence of the gravitational anomaly
Channel-Width Dependent Enhancement in Nanoscale Field Effect Transistor
We report the observation of channel-width dependent enhancement in nanoscale
field effect transistors containing lithographically-patterned silicon
nanowires as the conduction channel. These devices behave as conventional
metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors in reverse source drain
bias. Reduction of nanowire width below 200 nm leads to dramatic change in the
threshold voltage. Due to increased surface-to-volume ratio, these devices show
higher transconductance per unit width at smaller width. Our devices with
nanoscale channel width demonstrate extreme sensitivity to surface field
profile, and therefore can be used as logic elements in computation and as
ultrasensitive sensors of surface-charge in chemical and biological species.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, two-column format. Related papers can be found at

Photovoltage Detection of Edge Magnetoplasmon Oscillations and Giant Magnetoplasmon Resonances in A Two-Dimensional Hole System
In our high mobility p-type AlGaAs/GaAs two-dimensional hole samples, we
originally observe the B-periodic oscillation induced by microwave (MW) in
photovoltage (PV) measurements. In the frequency range of our measurements (5 -
40 GHz), the period ({\Delta}B) is inversely proportional to the microwave
frequency (f). The distinct oscillations come from the edge magnetoplasmon
(EMP) in the high quality heavy hole system. In our hole sample with a very
large effective mass, the observation of the EMP oscillations is in neither the
low frequency limit nor the high frequency limit, and the damping of the EMP
oscillations is very weak under high magnetic fields. Simultaneously, we
observe the giant plasmon resonance signals in our measurements on the shallow
two-dimensional hole system (2DHS)
Axial magnetic effect in two-color quenched lattice QCD
The Axial Magnetic Effect manifests itself as an equilibrium energy flow of massless fermions induced by the axial (chiral) magnetic field. Here we study the Axial Magnetic Effect in the quenched SU(2) lattice gauge theory with massless overlap fermions at finite temperature. We numerically observe that in the low-temperature hadron phase the effect is absent due to the quark confinement. In the high-temperature deconfinement phase the energy flow is an increasing function of the temperature which reaches the predicted asymptotic T2 behavior at high temperatures. We find, however, that energy flow is about one order of magnitude lower compared to a theoretical prediction
Temperature dependence of the axial magnetic effect in two-color quenched QCD
The axial magnetic effect is the generation of an equilibrium dissipationless energy flow of chiral fermions in the direction of the axial (chiral) magnetic field. At finite temperature the dissipationless energy transfer may be realized in the absence of any chemical potentials. We numerically study the temperature behavior of the axial magnetic effect in quenched SUd2_ lattice gauge theory. We show that in the confinement (hadron) phase the effect is absent. In the deconfinement transition region the conductivity quickly increases, reaching the asymptotic T2 behavior in a deep deconfinement (plasma) phase. Apart from an overall proportionality factor, our results qualitatively agree with theoretical predictions for the behavior of the energy flow as a function of temperature and strength of the axial magnetic field
