The original version of this Article contained errors in Fig. 2, Fig. 3a-c and Supplementary Fig. 2. In Fig. 2g and Supplementary Fig. 2, the band structure plot calculated from density function theory (DFT) had a missing band of mainly z2 character that starts at about -â0.25âeV at the Y point and disperses downwards towards the Î point. This band was inadvertently neglected when transferring the lines from the original band plot to the enhanced version for publication. Also in Fig. 2g, the points labelled M and Y were not exactly at (1/2 1/2 0) and (0 1/2 0), but rather (0.52 0.48 0) and (0 0.48 0) due to a bug in XCrysDen for low-symmetry structures that the authors failed to identify before publication. Thus, the bands presented were slightly off the true M-Y direction and additional splitting incorrectly appeared (in particular for the highly dispersive bands of x2-y2 character). The correct versions of Fig. 2g (cited as Fig. 1) and Supplementary Fig. 2 (cited as Fig. 2) are:which replaces the previous incorrect version, cited here as Fig. 3 and Fig. 4:Neither of these errors in Fig. 2g or Supplementary Fig. 2 affects either the discussion or any of the interpretations of the ARPES data provided in the paper. The authors discussed the multilayer band splitting along the Î-M direction (ÎŽ band and α band as assigned in the paper), and ARPES did not see any split band. The authors did not discuss the further splitting that arises due to back folding along the M-Y direction.In Fig. 3a-c, the errors in the M and Y points in Fig. 2g cause subtle changes to the DFT dispersions. The correct version of Fig. 3a-c is cited here as Fig 5:which replaces the previous incorrect version (Fig. 6):However, the influence on the effective mass results of Fig. 3d is negligible.These errors have now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article. The authors acknowledge James Rondinelli and Danilo Puggioni from Northwestern University for calling our attention to these issues
Itinerant ferromagnetism and intrinsic anomalous Hall effect in amorphous iron-germanium
The amorphous iron-germanium system (a-FexGe1-x) lacks long-range structural order and hence lacks a meaningful Brillouin zone. The magnetization of a-FexGe1-x is well explained by the Stoner model for Fe concentrations x above the onset of magnetic order around x=0.4, indicating that the local order of the amorphous structure preserves the spin-split density of states of the Fe-3d states sufficiently to polarize the electronic structure despite k being a bad quantum number. Measurements reveal an enhanced anomalous Hall resistivity ÏxyAH relative to crystalline FeGe; this ÏxyAH is compared to density-functional theory calculations of the anomalous Hall conductivity to resolve its underlying mechanisms. The intrinsic mechanism, typically understood as the Berry curvature integrated over occupied k states but shown here to be equivalent to the density of curvature integrated over occupied energies in aperiodic materials, dominates the anomalous Hall conductivity of a-FexGe1-x (0.38â€xâ€0.61). The density of curvature is the sum of spin-orbit correlations of local orbital states and can hence be calculated with no reference to k space. This result and the accompanying Stoner-like model for the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity establish a unified understanding of the underlying physics of the anomalous Hall effect in both crystalline and disordered systems

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 11487. Springer, ChamNowadays, obtaining high-quality magnetic resonance (MR) images is a complex problem due to several acquisition factors, but is crucial in order to perform good diagnostics. The enhancement of the resolution is a typical procedure applied after the image generation. State-of-the-art works gather a large variety of methods for super-resolution (SR), among which deep learning has become very popular during the last years. Most of the SR deep-learning methods are based on the min-
imization of the residuals by the use of Euclidean loss layers. In this paper, we propose an SR model based on the use of a p-norm loss layer to improve the learning process and obtain a better high-resolution (HR) image. This method was implemented using a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN), and tested for several norms in order to determine the most robust t. The proposed methodology was trained and tested with sets of MR structural T1-weighted images and showed
better outcomes quantitatively, in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), and the restored and the calculated residual images showed better CNN outputs.Universidad de MĂĄlaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech
Imaging high-dimensional spatial entanglement with a camera
The light produced by parametric down-conversion shows strong spatial
entanglement that leads to violations of EPR criteria for separability.
Historically, such studies have been performed by scanning a single-element,
single-photon detector across a detection plane. Here we show that modern
electron-multiplying charge-coupled device cameras can measure correlations in
both position and momentum across a multi-pixel field of view. This capability
allows us to observe entanglement of around 2,500 spatial states and
demonstrate Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen type correlations by more than two orders
of magnitude. More generally, our work shows that cameras can lead to important
new capabilities in quantum optics and quantum information science.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Provenance-Centered Dataset of Drug-Drug Interactions
Over the years several studies have demonstrated the ability to identify
potential drug-drug interactions via data mining from the literature (MEDLINE),
electronic health records, public databases (Drugbank), etc. While each one of
these approaches is properly statistically validated, they do not take into
consideration the overlap between them as one of their decision making
variables. In this paper we present LInked Drug-Drug Interactions (LIDDI), a
public nanopublication-based RDF dataset with trusty URIs that encompasses some
of the most cited prediction methods and sources to provide researchers a
resource for leveraging the work of others into their prediction methods. As
one of the main issues to overcome the usage of external resources is their
mappings between drug names and identifiers used, we also provide the set of
mappings we curated to be able to compare the multiple sources we aggregate in
our dataset.Comment: In Proceedings of the 14th International Semantic Web Conference

Beta-glucan reflects liver injury after preservation and transplantation in dogs.
Graft failure and extrahepatic organ complications, which frequently develop after transplantation, may be related to inflammatory mediators stimulated by endotoxin (ET). The role of endotoxemia after liver transplantation is controversial and may depend upon differences in the ET assay method used in the various contradicting studies. While the standard Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) is reactive for ET and beta-glucan, a novel turbidimetric assay method enables separate determinations of ET and beta-glucan. Beagle dogs undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were divided into two groups. In Group I (n = 6) the grafts were transplanted immediately and in Group II (n = 6) grafts were preserved for 48 h in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution. Animals received cyclosporine immunosuppression and were followed for 14 days. Daily measurements of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were performed. Samples for ET and beta-glucan measurement were collected serially and processed using the turbidimetric assay method. While no graft failure was seen in Group I, three of six Group II animals died from graft failure within 1 day after transplantation. Preservation and reperfusion injury was much more severe in the Group II grafts than in Group I grafts. While endotoxemia could not be detected, postoperative beta-glucan levels (undetectable pretransplant) were seen in both groups. Beta-glucan levels were much higher in Group II grafts than in Group I grafts, and correlated with the severity of liver damage. In conclusion, this study shows that beta-glucan, instead of ET, appears during the early posttransplant period. We believe that posttransplant elevation of beta-glucan is related to liver damage, especially endothelial damage by preservation and reperfusion
Increased expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in first-degree relatives of gastric cancer patients
Aim: To study the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in human gastric cancer tissues and their paired adjacent mucosa, as well as mucosa from gastric antrum and corpus of the first-degree relatives of the recruited cancer patients. Methods: The expression of COX-2 mRNA in 38 patients with gastric cancer and their 29 first-degree relatives and 18 healthy controls was assessed by the real time RT-PCR. The expression of COX-2 protein was determined by Western blot. Results: A marked increase in COX-2 mRNA expression was found in 20 of 37 (54%) cancerous tissues compared to their respective paired normal mucosa (P<0.001). Interestingly, increased COX-2 mRNA expression was also found in mucosa of the corpus (6/29) and antrum (13/29) of their first-degree relatives. Increased COX-2 mRNA expression was more frequently observed in the antrum biopsies from cancer patients than in the antrum biopsies from healthy controls (P<0.05). In addition, 3 of 23 (13%) patients with atrophic mucosa and 6 of 35 (17%) patients with intestinal metaplasia showed increased COX-2 mRNA expression. Furthermore, COX-2 expression increased in H pylori-positive tissues, especially in antrum mucosa. Conclusion: Increased COX-2 expression is involved in gastric carcinogenesis, and may be necessary for maintenance of the malignant phenotype and contribute to Helicobacter pylori-associated malignant transformation. © 2005 The WJG Press and Elsevier Inc.
