Laser-induced rotation of iodine molecules in He-nanodroplets: revivals and breaking-free
Rotation of molecules embedded in He nanodroplets is explored by a
combination of fs laser-induced alignment experiments and angulon quasiparticle
theory. We demonstrate that at low fluence of the fs alignment pulse, the
molecule and its solvation shell can be set into coherent collective rotation
lasting long enough to form revivals. With increasing fluence, however, the
revivals disappear -- instead, rotational dynamics as rapid as for an isolated
molecule is observed during the first few picoseconds. Classical calculations
trace this phenomenon to transient decoupling of the molecule from its He
shell. Our results open novel opportunities for studying non-equilibrium
solute-solvent dynamics and quantum thermalization.Comment: 6+7 pages; 4+1 figures; 1 tabl
Strongly aligned molecules inside helium droplets in the near-adiabatic regime
Iodine (I) molecules embedded in He nanodroplets are aligned by a 160 ps
long laser pulse. The highest degree of alignment, occurring at the peak of the
pulse and quantified by , is measured as a
function of the laser intensity. The results are well described by calculated for a gas of isolated molecules each
with an effective rotational constant of 0.6 times the gas-phase value, and at
a temperature of 0.4 K. Theoretical analysis using the angulon quasiparticle to
describe rotating molecules in superfluid helium rationalizes why the alignment
mechanism is similar to that of isolated molecules with an effective rotational
constant. A major advantage of molecules in He droplets is that their 0.4 K
temperature leads to stronger alignment than what can generally be achieved for
gas phase molecules -- here demonstrated by a direct comparison of the droplet
results to measurements on a 1 K supersonic beam of isolated molecules.
This point is further illustrated for more complex system by measurements on
1,4-diiodobenzene and 1,4-dibromobenzene. For all three molecular species
studied the highest values of achieved in
He droplets exceed 0.96.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure

Socioeconomic patient characteristics predict delay in cancer diagnosis: a Danish cohort study
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Delay in cancer diagnosis may be important for cancer prognosis. Large individual variations in the duration of delay have been observed. This study examines whether patients' socioeconomic characteristics are predictors of long patient-, doctor- and system-related delay in cancer diagnosis.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Danish population-based cohort study. From September 2004 to September 2005, newly diagnosed cancer patients were enrolled from administrative registries. A total of 467 general practitioners in the County of Aarhus, Denmark, completed questionnaires on 2,212 cancer patients' diagnostic pathways. A total of 1,252 cancer patients filled in questionnaires on their socioeconomic characteristics (e.g. marital status, education, occupation, household income and fortune). Delay was categorised as short or long based on quartiles. Predictors of long delay were assessed in a logistic regression model using odds ratios (ORs) as a proxy of relative risks.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In regard to <it>patient delay</it>, retired female patients experienced shorter delays (OR 0.35, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 0.13 to 0.98) than employed female patients, while female smokers experienced longer delays (OR 2.42, 95%CI 1.21 to 4.85) than female non-smokers.</p> <p>In regard to <it>doctor delay</it>, female patients with a large household fortune experienced shorter delays (OR 0.07, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.45) than economically less privileged female patients. Well-educated men experienced shorter delays (OR 0.40, 95%CI 0.16 to 1.00) than men with short education. Male patients experienced longer doctor delays (OR 2.11, 95%CI 1.11 to 4.02) than women when gender-specific cancers were excluded.</p> <p>In regard to <it>system delay</it>, female patients with a large household fortune experienced shorter delays (OR 0.46, 95%CI 0.21 to 0.99) than economically less privileged women, while female patients with a high alcohol intake experienced longer delays (OR 2.82, 95%CI 1.18 to 6.72) than women with an average intake.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>We found socioeconomic predictors of delay that allow us to hypothesize social inequalities in the distribution of delay, but, in general, only a few socioeconomic variables predicted delay in cancer diagnosis. Future research should examine a broader array of patients' personal characteristics.</p
Kronik: Datafangst fra nyt system kan anvendes både administrativt og sundhedspolitisk:Et nyt datasystem - ACG - er ved at blive pilottestet. Det vil give et ændret grundlag for Datafangst. Der er både fordele og ulemper ved systemet, blandt ulemperne er, at praktiserende læger kan føle sig overvåget.
Hyperfine-Structure-Induced Depolarization of Impulsively Aligned Molecules
A moderately intense fs laser pulse is used to create rotational wave
packets in gas phase molecules. The ensuing time-dependent
alignment, measured by Coulomb explosion imaging with a delayed probe pulse,
exhibits the characteristic revival structures expected for rotational wave
packets but also a complex non-periodic substructure and decreasing mean
alignment not observed before. A quantum mechanical model attributes the
phenomena to coupling between the rotational angular momenta and the nuclear
spins through the electric quadrupole interaction. The calculated alignment
trace agrees very well with the experimental results.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, and Supplementary Information. This article has

Digital fabrikation for unge i specialtilbud
Fælles for børn og unge med kognitive handicap er, at de typisk kommunikerer bedst ved brug af visuel kommunikation, simple sætninger, langsomt tempo, kendt struktur, gentagelser og individuelt målrettet kommunikation. Det kan derfor som udgangspunkt være vanskeligt for denne målgruppe at deltage i digital fabrikation, som er kendetegnet ved teambaserede aktiviteter, samfundsrelevante problemstillinger og en høj grad af ansvar for egen læring. I denne artikel præsenterer vi to eksempler på, hvordan digital fabrikation kan praktiseres på en specialskole for børn og unge med autismespektrum forstyrrelser. Vores analyser viser, at arbejdet med digital fabrikation inden for specialområdet især kræver læringsforløb, der tager udgangspunkt i den enkelte elev (dvs. individbaseret frem for teambaseret), interesser (dvs. særinteresser frem for samfundsmæssige problemstillinger) og lærerstøtte (dvs. styrede forløb frem for egen initieret aktivitet). En anden vigtig pointe fra studiet er, at digital fabrikation kan påvirke de unges sociale liv, hvilket er en positiv udvikling for målgruppen.
