Abstract
The systematic structure modification of metal oxides is becoming more attractive, and effective strategies for structural tunning are highly desirable for improving their practical color-modulating energy storage performances. Here, the ability of a stoichiometrically tuned oxide-hydroxide complex of porous vanadium oxide, namely [V2 O2+ξ (OH)3-ξ ]ξ = 0:3 for multifunctional electrochromic supercapacitor application is demonstrated. Theoretically, the pre-optimized oxide complex is synthesized using a simple wet chemical etching technique in its optimized stoichiometry [V2 O2+ξ (OH)3-ξ ] with ξ = 0, providing more electroactive surface sites. The multifunctional electrode shows a high charge storage property of 610 Fg-1 at 1A g-1 , as well as good electrochromic properties with high color contrast of 70% and 50% at 428 and 640 nm wavelengths, faster switching, and high coloration efficiency. When assembled in a solid-state symmetric electrochromic supercapacitor device, it exhibits an ultrahigh power density of 1066 mWcm-2 , high energy density of 246 mWhcm-2 , and high specific capacitance of 290 mFcm-2 at 0.2 mAcm-2 . A prepared prototype device displays red when fully charged, green when half charged, and blue when fully discharged. A clear evidence of optimizing the multifunctional performance of electrochromic supercapacitor by stoichiometrical tuning is presented along with demonstrating a device prototype of a 25 cm2 large device for real-life applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Physiological transgender (TJ) is one of the most marginalized and oppressed community in the Indian subcontinent. The observable percentage of physiological transgender (TJ) cancer patients is extremely low. This concise report aims to assess the factors that contribute to the scarcity of transgender cancer patients. MATERIALS/METHODS The hospital database (2012-2021) of 2 centers in New Delhi (population 32 million) & 1 in Kolkata (15 million) were evaluated. In addition, 28 senior oncologists (ONC) and 17 trans women (TWs) completed a six-point questionnaire. ONC was asked how many TJ patients they had seen in their career, as well as histopathology/site. Furthermore, the data was extrapolated to account for all clinicians' cumulative years of experience. The questions for TWs were age and where they go if you have a disease or illness. And, do they know any TJ cancer patients? RESULTS India's last census (2011) revealed a half-million TJ population. TJ density must be at least 1 million to be comparable to the rest of the world. Hospital databases counted 10,486 patients, with no patient identified as TJ. A total of 37 TJ cancer patients were reported by 28 ONC with an average and collective years of their medical service of 23.1±4.1 and 646 years; distributed in 3 metropolis of 67 million (combined) population (Kolkata, New Delhi, and Mumbai). The average lifetime number of TJ cancer patients/oncologist was 1.3±1.1. Total 12 cases were head neck cancers, with 4 caused by human papillomavirus. The remaining 25 patients have 5 lung, 5 gynecological, 4 breast, 3 brain cancers, 2 soft tissue sarcomas, and 6 cases of unknown origin. The density of 5-year prevalent cancer cases in India is 0.2%, with an estimated 0.007% of TJ cancer patients. TW could not identify any cancer patients in their community. CONCLUSION Being transgender is a social taboo in this part of the world. Their legal rights and classification as the third gender are uncommon. TJs are denied access to standard education, mainstream occupations, and social respect. Although the exact number has never been determined, it is estimated that a large proportion (≈90%) of TJ people are forced to choose roadside begging and working as cheap sex workers. There is no clinical reason why TJs should have fewer cancer incidents, they should be more susceptible to cancer due to unhealthy living conditions, unprotected sex, lack of medical care, proper nutrition, and all other factors associated with their very low socioeconomic status. Nonetheless, it's difficult to find single TJ cancer patients in both public and private hospital OPD. They may be unable to access a traditional clinic due to social discrimination, financial constraints, or they may be unwilling to disclose their true sex. Even TJ's do not show up at free public clinics. The disclosure of true sex may be beneficial in obtaining better treatment, but the more prevalent reason is social unacceptability, which can be overcome through proper education and community economic growth.

Abstract
Here, we report the design and synthesis of a redox-active multifunctional ionic porous organic polymer iPOP-Bpy with exchangeable Br- ions, incorporating viologen as a redox-active building block. The material shows not only excellent iodine uptake capacity in the vapor phase (540 wt %) but also in the organic (1009.77 mg g-1) and aqueous phases (3921.47 mg g-1) with very fast adsorption kinetics in all cases. The material also shows its utility in being used as a solid-state NH3 vapor sensor as it shows very fast color switching in the presence of NH3 vapor. Furthermore, the material found application as a p-type complementary electrochromic electrode and was fabricated into a bilayer device. Excellent coloration efficiency, high switching speed, and good color contrast were obtained as investigated using bias-dependent optical and spectroelectrochemical studies, paving the way for fabricating power-efficient solid-state electrochromic devices.

Abstract
It is always interesting to understand how the interplay between two perturbations, affects any physical process and gets manifested in a semiconductor. Temperature- and wavelength-dependent Raman Spectromicroscopy was performed on heavily-doped Si to reveal an unusual anti-anharmonic effect. Additionally, the energy dispersive behaviour of Fano coupling strength was also studied and its possible interrelation with the observed anti-anharmonic effect was explored. A systematic study revealed that at the different excitation wavelengths, the strength of the Fano interaction was different, where the involved electron-phonon (Fano-Fano-interferon) bound states were counted together with different energies. By understanding how the interplay manifests in terms of the Raman line shape, a method to calculate the Fano-interferon dissociation energy was developed. The slope of the Raman linewidth at different excitation wavelengths with temperature showed a negative temperature coefficient and sign reversal on decreasing the doping concentration. A wavelength-dependent empirical relation is proposed to calculate the required thermal energy, required to dissociate the electron-phonon bound state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fetal midgut volvulus is an uncommon yet potentially life-threatening condition. Prenatal diagnosis may pose a challenge, due to the paucity of specific signs and symptoms. Timely prenatal diagnosis of this condition is imperative to prevent fetal mortality and morbidity. CASE PRESENTATION We present a rare case report of fetal midgut volvulus, malrotation, and intestinal obstruction at 32 weeks of gestation in a 31-year-old multigravida Indian patient who presented with decreased fetal movements. Fetal ultrasound revealed midgut volvulus with proximal bowel obstruction and polyhydramnios. The patient underwent emergency surgery, which revealed intestinal malrotation and confirmed the diagnosis of midgut volvulus. Untwisting of the volvulus was done followed by Ladd's procedure. Follow-up postoperative ultrasound was unremarkable. CONCLUSIONS Delay in the diagnosis of fetal midgut volvulus leads to poor fetal and maternal outcomes. Hence, it is vital for radiologists, sonologists, and obstetricians to be aware of this condition while performing fetal sonography. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are vital to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.

Abstract
A nonlinear Fano interaction has been reported here which is manifest in terms of a parabolic temperature-dependent phonon decay process observable in terms of a Raman spectral parameter. Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic studies have been carried out on heavily and moderately doped crystalline silicon to investigate the behavior of anharmonic phonon decay in semiconductor systems where Fano interactions are present inherently. Systematic study reveals that in heavily doped systems an interferon-mediated decay route exists for cold phonons present at lower temperatures (<475 K) where Fano coupling is stronger and dominates over the typical multiple-phonon decay process. On the other hand, the anharmonic phonon decay remains the predominant process at higher temperatures irrespective of the doping level. Temperature-dependent phonon self-energy has been calculated using experimentally observed Raman line-shape parameters to validate the fact that the nonlinear decay of phonons through interferon mediation is a thermodynamically favorable process at low temperatures.

Abstract
Excitation wavelength-dependent Raman spectroscopy has been carried out to study electron-phonon interaction (Fano resonance) in multi-layered bulk 2H-MoS2 nano-flakes. The electron-phonon coupling is proposed to be caused due to interaction between energy of an excitonic quasi-electronic continuum and the discrete one phonon, first-order Raman modes of MoS2. It is proposed that an asymmetrically broadened Raman line shape obtained by 633 nm laser excitation is due to electron-phonon interaction whose electronic continuum is provided by the well-known A and B excitons. Typical wavelength-dependent Raman line shape has been observed, which validates and quantifies the Fano interaction present in the samples. The experimentally obtained Raman scattering data show very good agreement with the theoretical Fano-Raman line-shape functions and help in estimating the coupling strength. Values of the electron-phonon interaction parameter obtained, through line-shape fitting, for the two excitation wavelengths have been compared and shown to have generic Fano-type dependence on the excitation wavelength.

Abstract
Used cigarette filters, a waste material and a major source of land pollution, has been used as a raw material to study the nature of condensed tobacco smoke (tar) using microscopy, optical, IR, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction and electron & fluorescence microscopy. The tar present in the cigarette filter bud has been used to synthesize luminescent low dimensional carbon using a simple methanol extraction technique. The collected material shows light blue emission under UV excitation with emission peak energy depending strongly on the excitation wavelength. Such excitation energy dependent emission is observed from the extract solution as well as dried film. Careful analysis has been carried out to understand its origin which reveals the presence of giant red-edge effect in the samples. A correlation between room temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy has also been carried out. Presence of amorphous phase carbon has been established using Raman spectroscopy and a quantum yield of more than 9% has been estimated which is moderately high in comparison with the one shown by carbon dots prepared by using other sources and can be used for bioimaging applications.

Abstract
A dual purpose solid state electrochromic diode has been fabricated using polythiophene (P3HT) and ethyl Viologen (EV), predoped with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and MoS2. The device has been designed by considering two important aspects, first, the complementary redox activity of P3HT and EV and second, the electron holding properties of MoS2 and MWCNTs. The latter is found to enhance the electrochromic performance of the solid state device. On the other hand, the complementary redox nature gives the asymmetric diodic I-V characteristic to the device which has been exploited to use the electrochromic device for rectification application. The MoS2 nanoflower and MWCNTs are synthesized by one-step hydrothermal and pyrolysis techniques and well characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray analysis (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. Electrochromic properties of the device have been studied in detail to reveal an improvement in device performance in terms of faster speed and high coloration efficiency and color contrast. In situ bias-dependent Raman spectroscopy has been performed to understand the operation mechanism of the electrochromic diode which reveals (bi-)polaron formation as a result of dynamic doping eventually leading to color change. A half-wave rectifier has been realized from the electrochromic diode which rectifies an AC voltage of frequency 1 Hz or less making it suitable for low frequency operation. The study opens a new possibility to design and fabricate multipurpose frequency selective electrochromic rectifiers.

Abstract
The effect of the oxidizer present in the etching solution on the surface morphology and microstructure obtained after porosifying a p-type silicon wafer using metal-assisted chemical etching was studied. The morphologies of Si wafers porosified using two different solutions, HF/H2O2 and HF/KMnO4, were compared to establish how either of the oxidizers (H2O2 or KMnO4) should be chosen depending on the desired application. A comparative study revealed that parallel pores with wire-like structures or interconnected pores with cheese-like structures can be obtained when H2O2 or KMnO4 are chosen, respectively. Careful analysis of the SEM images was carried out using ImageJ to establish that the samples prepared using KMnO4 are more porous due to aggressive etching. Additionally, experimental and theoretical Raman spectroscopic studies have been utilized to study the presence of low-dimensional Si nanostructures, which are a few nanometers in size, at the microscopic level in porosified silicon.

Abstract
This paper addresses the development of predictive models for distinguishing pre-symptomatic infections from uninfected individuals. Our machine learning experiments are conducted on publicly available challenge studies that collected whole-blood transcriptomics data from individuals infected with HRV, RSV, H1N1, and H3N2. We address the problem of identifying discriminatory biomarkers between controls and eventual shedders in the first 32 h post-infection. Our exploratory analysis shows that the most discriminatory biomarkers exhibit a strong dependence on time over the course of the human response to infection. We visualize the feature sets to provide evidence of the rapid evolution of the gene expression profiles. To quantify this observation, we partition the data in the first 32 h into four equal time windows of 8 h each and identify all discriminatory biomarkers using sparsity-promoting classifiers and Iterated Feature Removal. We then perform a comparative machine learning classification analysis using linear support vector machines, artificial neural networks and Centroid-Encoder. We present a range of experiments on different groupings of the diseases to demonstrate the robustness of the resulting models.

Abstract
Introduction: Epistaxis whether spontaneous or acquired is one of the most common ENT emergencies. Its management can be challenging depending on the origin of bleeding and presence of precipitating factors. Aim: To find out the seasonal variation in epistaxis according to age, gender, region and aetiological factor. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2019 to June 2020 in a tertiary care centre in Upper Assam. In this study, the seasons were divided according to weather atlas as follows: Winter- December, January, and February; Spring- March and April; Summer- May and June; Rainy season- July, August and September; and Autumn- October and November. Outcome was to find the seasonal variation in epistaxis according to age, gender, region and aetiological factor. The data collected was tabulated in Microsoft Excel Worksheet and the categorical variables were summarised as proportions and percentages. Results: Out of 313 patients, 221 (70.6%) were males and 92 (29.4%) were females. High male preponderance with male to female ratio of 2.4:1 was noticed. Maximum number of patients were seen in month of October 66 cases (21%). Minimum male patients were seen in month of June 2020 (0.6%) 2 cases and minimum number of female patients were seen in the month of February and April (0.3%). Conclusion: The major cause of epistaxis in this region is hypertension, therefore peripheral health facility should be ready for giving treatment.

Abstract
Background Recently there has been an increased preference for intranasal delivery of drugs due to highly vascular nasal mucosa, bypassing first pass metabolism and the blood brain barrier (BBB) lead in quick drug absorption to the systemic circulation and direct access to brain from olfactory region. For pediatric patients this route offers significant benefits over injections or oral routes, like increased compliance, easy administration, and minimal side effects. Objective Assessment of prescription pattern of drugs and safety profile of drugs used by intranasal route in paediatric age group. Method Our study was a prospective observational study paediatric age group of patients conducted in the departments of Pharmacology, Paediatrics and Otorhinolaryngology of Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, Burdwan. Data were collected in CRF and frequency distribution of collected data done. Microsoft Excel 2010 was used for analysis. Result Common age group was infants. Males were more in number. Most common indication was epistaxis. Intranasal drugs per prescription were 1.05. Most commonly prescribed intranasal drug was nasal saline. Nasal decongestant was the most common prescribed medication. Nasal drops were the most common dose formulation. Conclusion Intranasal drug prescribing in our study was mainly aimed for treating local problems, very few being for systemic action. Some prescribing indicators like prescribing by generic name and prescribing from national essential drug lists were acceptable with scope for improvement. Average number of drugs per prescription and antibiotic use was high. Adverse events after intranasal drug use were primarily local and nose related.

Abstract
Psychiatric diseases have a strong heritable component known to not be restricted to DNA sequence-based genetic inheritance alone but to also involve epigenetic factors in germ cells. Initial evidence suggested that sperm RNA is causally linked to the transmission of symptoms induced by traumatic experiences. Here, we show that alterations in long RNA in sperm contribute to the inheritance of specific trauma symptoms. Injection of long RNA fraction from sperm of males exposed to postnatal trauma recapitulates the effects on food intake, glucose response to insulin and risk-taking in adulthood whereas the small RNA fraction alters body weight and behavioural despair. Alterations in long RNA are maintained after fertilization, suggesting a direct link between sperm and embryo RNA.

Abstract
Production of carbon fibers (CF) using renewable precursors has gained importance particularly in the last decade to reduce the dependency on conventional petroleum-based precursors. However, pre-treatment of these renewable precursors is still similar to that of conventional ones. Little work is put into greener pre-treatments and their effects on the end products. This work focuses on the use of bio-cleaned lignin as a green precursor to produce CF by electrospinning. Bio-cleaned kraft lignin A (Bio-KLA) and uncleaned kraft lignin A (KLA) were used to explore the effect of bio-cleaning on the diameter and mechanical properties of lignin fibers and CF. The effect of electric field, lignin-to-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) ratio and PEO molecular weight (MW) were evaluated by 33 factorial design using Design of Experiment (DOE). The electrospinning process parameters were optimized to obtain a balance between high elastic modulus and small fiber diameter. The model predicted optimized conditions were 50 kV m−1 electric field, 95/5 lignin-to-PEO ratio and 1000 kDa MW of PEO. When compared to KLA, Bio-KLA CFs showed a 2.7-fold increase in elastic modulus, 2-fold increase in tensile strength and 30% decrease in fiber diameter under the same optimum conditions. The results clearly show that bio-cleaning improved the mechanical properties of lignin derived CF. Waste lignin (KLA) and bio-cleaned lignin (Bio-KLA) precursors, used to produce parameter-optimized-electrospun carbon fibers showed improved mechanical properties for Bio-KLA.![]()

Abstract
Two colonies of Bacillus subtilis of identical strains growing adjacent to each other on an agar plate exhibit two distinct types of interactions: they either merge as they grow or demarcation occurs leading to formation of a line of demarcation at the colony fronts. The nature of this interaction depends on the agar concentration in the growth medium and the initial separation between the colonies. When the agar concentration was 0.67% or lower, the two sibling colonies were found to always merge. At 1% or higher concentrations, the colonies formed a demarcation line only when their initial separation was 20 mm or higher. Interactions of a colony with solid structures and liquid drops have indicated that biochemical factors rather than the presence of physical obstacles are responsible for the demarcation line formation. A reaction diffusion model has been formulated to predict if two sibling colonies will form a demarcation line under given agar concentration and initial separation. The model prediction agrees well with experimental findings and generates a dimensionless phase diagram containing merging and demarcation regimes. The phase diagram is in terms of a dimensionless initial separation, d[combining macron], and a dimensionless diffusion coefficient, D[combining macron], of the colonies. The phase boundary between the two interaction regimes can be described by a power law relation between d[combining macron] and D[combining macron].

Abstract
For tumors to progress efficiently, cancer cells must overcome barriers of oxidative stress. Although dietary antioxidant supplementation or activation of endogenous antioxidants by NRF2 reduces oxidative stress and promotes early lung tumor progression, little is known about its effect on lung cancer metastasis. Here, we show that long-term supplementation with the antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and vitamin E promotes KRAS-driven lung cancer metastasis. The antioxidants stimulate metastasis by reducing levels of free heme and stabilizing the transcription factor BACH1. BACH1 activates transcription of Hexokinase 2 and Gapdh and increases glucose uptake, glycolysis rates, and lactate secretion, thereby stimulating glycolysis-dependent metastasis of mouse and human lung cancer cells. Targeting BACH1 normalized glycolysis and prevented antioxidant-induced metastasis, while increasing endogenous BACH1 expression stimulated glycolysis and promoted metastasis, also in the absence of antioxidants. We conclude that BACH1 stimulates glycolysis-dependent lung cancer metastasis and that BACH1 is activated under conditions of reduced oxidative stress.

Abstract
MicroRNAs of the miR-16 and miR-34 families have been reported to inhibit cell cycle progression, and their loss has been linked to oncogenic transformation. Utilizing a high-throughput, genome-wide screen for miRNAs and mRNAs that are differentially regulated in osteosarcoma (OS) cell lines, we report that miR-449a and miR-424, belonging to the miR-34 and miR-16 families, respectively, target the major S/G2 phase cyclin, cyclin A2 (CCNA2), in a bipartite manner. We found that the 3'-UTR of CCNA2 is recognized by miR-449a, whereas the CCNA2 coding region is targeted by miR-424. Of note, we observed loss of both miR-449a and miR-424 in OS, resulting in derepression of CCNA2 and appearance of aggressive cancer phenotypes. Ectopic expression of miR-449a and miR-424 significantly decreased cyclin A2 levels and inhibited proliferation rate, migratory potential, and colony-forming ability of OS cells. To further probe the roles of miR-449a and miR-424 in OS, we developed an OS mouse model by intraosseous injection of U2OS cells into the tibia bone of NOD-scid mice, which indicated that miR-449a and miR-424 co-expression suppresses tumor growth. On the basis of this discovery, we analyzed the gene expression of human OS biopsy samples, revealing that miR-449a and miR-424 are both down-regulated, whereas cyclin A2 is significantly up-regulated in these OS samples. In summary, the findings in our study highlight that cyclin A2 repression by miRNAs of the miR-16 and miR-34 families is lost in aggressive OS.

Abstract
Quantitative and qualitative analysis were used to ascertain practices, perceptions and barriers about antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) in an oncology hospital in eastern India. In 2014 and 2017, 62% and 69.1% of the patients audited were found to be on anti infective medications respectively. Nearly 47% of patients in the study group (2014) who were on therapeutic antibiotics had an average cost of $46.48 per patient per day (inter-quartile range: $17.23-$94.76). Antibiotic related consultations from clinical microbiologists, was found to be in demand, and education of prescribers and policymakers was identified as critical to the success of ASP.

Abstract
More than 100 million people in the United States of America alone suffer from age-related presbyopia caused by a loss of focal accommodation of the eye crystalline lens as the lens stiffens with age. The resulting accommodative error or lag produces blurred images of objects placed at different distances. Conventional fixed uniform or graded power eyeglasses cannot provide accommodation thus resulting in significant visual impairment. In this paper we will discuss the implementation of lightweight auto-focusing eyeglasses that augment the accommodative range thus partially or fully restoring normal vision function. The paper discusses some aspects of the construction of tunable power eyepieces and the implementation of accommodation correction algorithms.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is characterized by nutrient-deprived conditions in which the cancer cells have to adapt for survival. Serum starvation resembles the growth factor deprivation characteristic of the poorly vascularized tumor microenvironment and has aided in the discovery of key growth regulatory genes and microRNAs (miRNAs) that have a role in the oncogenic transformation. We report here that miR-874 down-regulates the major G1/S phase cyclin, cyclin E1 (CCNE1), during serum starvation. Because the adaptation of cancer cells to the tumor microenvironment is vital for subsequent oncogenesis, we tested for miR-874 and CCNE1 interdependence in osteosarcoma cells. We observed that miR-874 inhibits CCNE1 expression in primary osteoblasts, but in aggressive osteosarcomas, miR-874 is down-regulated, leading to elevated CCNE1 expression and appearance of cancer-associated phenotypes. We established that loss of miR-874-mediated control of cyclin E1 is a general feature of osteosarcomas. The down-regulation of CCNE1 by miR-874 is independent of E2F transcription factors. Restoration of miR-874 expression impeded S phase progression, suppressing aggressive growth phenotypes, such as cell invasion, migration, and xenograft tumors, in nude mice. In summary, we report that miR-874 inhibits CCNE1 expression during growth factor deprivation and that miR-874 down-regulation in osteosarcomas leads to CCNE1 up-regulation and more aggressive growth phenotypes.

Abstract
Conventional ion-selective electrodes with a liquid junction have the disadvantage of potential drift. All-solid-state ion-selective electrodes with solid contact in between the metal electrode and the ion-selective membrane offer high capacitance or conductance to enhance potential stability. Solution-casted chitosan/Prussian blue nanocomposite (ChPBN) was employed as the solid contact layer for an all-solid-state sodium ion-selective electrode in a potentiometric sodium ion sensor. Morphological and chemical analyses confirmed that the ChPBN is a macroporous network of chitosan that contains abundant Prussian blue nanoparticles. Situated between a screen-printed carbon electrode and a sodium-ionophore-filled polyvinylchloride ion-selective membrane, the ChPBN layer exhibited high redox capacitance and fast charge transfer capability, which significantly enhanced the performance of the sodium ion-selective electrode. A good Nernstian response with a slope of 52.4 mV/decade in the linear range from 10-4-1 M of NaCl was observed. The stability of the electrical potential of the new solid contact was tested by chronopotentiometry, and the capacitance of the electrode was 154 ± 4 µF. The response stability in terms of potential drift was excellent (1.3 µV/h) for 20 h of continuous measurement. The ChPBN proved to be an efficient solid contact to enhance the potential stability of the all-solid-state ion-selective electrode.

Abstract
This paper investigates a novel multimodal sensing method by forming seam-lines of conductive textile fibers into commercially available fabrics. The proposed ultra-low cost micro-electro-mechanical sensor would provide, wearable, flexible, textile based biopotential signal recording, wetness detection and tactile sensing simultaneously. Three types of fibers are evaluated for their array-based sensing capability, including a 3D printed conductive fiber, a multiwall carbon nanotube based fiber, and a commercially available stainless steel conductive thread. The sensors were shown to have a correlation between capacitance and pressure; impedance and wetness; and recorded potential and ECG waveforms.

Abstract
This Letter reports new results on muon neutrino disappearance from NOvA, using a 14 kton detector equivalent exposure of 6.05×10^{20} protons on target from the NuMI beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The measurement probes the muon-tau symmetry hypothesis that requires maximal θ_{23} mixing (θ_{23}=π/4). Assuming the normal mass hierarchy, we find Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.67±0.11)×10^{-3} eV^{2} and sin^{2}θ_{23} at the two statistically degenerate values 0.404_{-0.022}^{+0.030} and 0.624_{-0.030}^{+0.022}, both at the 68% confidence level. Our data disfavor the maximal mixing scenario with 2.6σ significance.

Abstract
We report results from the first search for ν_{μ}→ν_{e} transitions by the NOvA experiment. In an exposure equivalent to 2.74×10^{20} protons on target in the upgraded NuMI beam at Fermilab, we observe 6 events in the Far Detector, compared to a background expectation of 0.99±0.11(syst) events based on the Near Detector measurement. A secondary analysis observes 11 events with a background of 1.07±0.14(syst). The 3.3σ excess of events observed in the primary analysis disfavors 0.1π<δ_{CP}<0.5π in the inverted mass hierarchy at the 90% C.L.

Abstract
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is one of the most effective technologies to diagnose gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as bleeding in GI tract. Because of long duration of WCE video containing large number images, it is a burden for clinician to detect diseases in real time. In this paper, an automatic bleeding image detection method is proposed utilizing construction of an index image incorporating certain level of information from each plane of RGB color space. Distinguishable color texture feature is developed from index image by histogram. Support vector machine (SVM) classifier is employed to detect bleeding and non-bleeding images from WCE videos. From extensive experimentation on real time WCE video recordings, it is found that the proposed method can accurately detect bleeding images with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Flavin derivatives with an extended π-conjugation were synthesized in moderate to good yields from aryl bromides via a Buchwald-Hartwig palladium catalyzed amination protocol, followed by condensation of the corresponding aromatic amines with violuric acid. The electronic properties of the new compounds were investigated by absorption and emission spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The compounds absorb up to 550 nm and show strong luminescence. The photoluminescence quantum yields ϕPL measured in dichloromethane reach 80% and in PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)) 77%, respectively, at ambient temperature. The electrochemical redox behaviour of π-extended flavins follows the mechanism previously described for the parent flavin.

Abstract
The primary eukaryotic single-stranded DNA-binding protein, Replication protein A (RPA), binds to single-stranded DNA at the sites of DNA damage and recruits the apical checkpoint kinase, ATR via its partner protein, ATRIP. It has been demonstrated that absence of RPA incapacitates the ATR-mediated checkpoint response. We report that in the absence of RPA, human single-stranded DNA-binding protein 1 (hSSB1) and its partner protein INTS3 form sub-nuclear foci, associate with the ATR-ATRIP complex and recruit it to the sites of genomic stress. The ATRIP foci formed after RPA depletion are abrogated in the absence of INTS3, establishing that hSSB-INTS3 complex recruits the ATR-ATRIP checkpoint complex to the sites of genomic stress. Depletion of homologs hSSB1/2 and INTS3 in RPA-deficient cells attenuates Chk1 phosphorylation, indicating that the cells are debilitated in responding to stress. We have identified that TopBP1 and the Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 complex are essential for the alternate mode of ATR activation. In summation, we report that the single-stranded DNA-binding protein complex, hSSB1/2-INTS3 can recruit the checkpoint complex to initiate ATR signaling.

Abstract
We report the results of a joint analysis of data from BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck. BICEP2 and Keck Array have observed the same approximately 400 deg^{2} patch of sky centered on RA 0 h, Dec. -57.5°. The combined maps reach a depth of 57 nK deg in Stokes Q and U in a band centered at 150 GHz. Planck has observed the full sky in polarization at seven frequencies from 30 to 353 GHz, but much less deeply in any given region (1.2 μK deg in Q and U at 143 GHz). We detect 150×353 cross-correlation in B modes at high significance. We fit the single- and cross-frequency power spectra at frequencies ≥150 GHz to a lensed-ΛCDM model that includes dust and a possible contribution from inflationary gravitational waves (as parametrized by the tensor-to-scalar ratio r), using a prior on the frequency spectral behavior of polarized dust emission from previous Planck analysis of other regions of the sky. We find strong evidence for dust and no statistically significant evidence for tensor modes. We probe various model variations and extensions, including adding a synchrotron component in combination with lower frequency data, and find that these make little difference to the r constraint. Finally, we present an alternative analysis which is similar to a map-based cleaning of the dust contribution, and show that this gives similar constraints. The final result is expressed as a likelihood curve for r, and yields an upper limit r_{0.05}<0.12 at 95% confidence. Marginalizing over dust and r, lensing B modes are detected at 7.0σ significance.

Abstract
Benzoyl azides were used for the direct and atom economic C-H amidation of electron rich heteroarenes in the presence of phosphoric acid, a photocatalyst and visible light. Hetero-aromatic amides are obtained in good yields at very mild reaction conditions with dinitrogen as the only by-product. The reaction allows the use of aryl-, heteroaryl- or alkenyl acyl azides and has a wide scope for heteroarenes, including pyrroles, indole, furan, benzofuran and thiophene giving good regio-selectivities and yields.

Abstract
The slow visible light mediated generation of a rhodium hydride allows the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes in the presence of ketones. Electron transfer from the chromophore to the metal complex proceeds via a radical anion intermediate or a solvated electron as two competing reaction pathways.
The chemoselective photoreduction of aldehydes in the presence of ketones was achieved using triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial electron donor, proflavine (PF) as photocatalyst and [Cp*Rh(iii)(bpy)Cl]Cl (Rhcat) as mediator. The reducing agent, which reacts with the carbonyl group was found to be [Cp*Rh(iii)(bpy)H]Cl (Rh(iii)–H). Contrary to formate-based reduction, its slow photochemical in situ generation enables to kinetically distinguish aldehydes from ketones. The inherent reactivity difference of the carbonyl compounds is transferred by the method into synthetically useful reaction selectivities. The substrate scope is broad with excellent yields. A detailed study of the reaction mechanism reveals that the photoreduction of the PF triplet and the subsequent reduction of the Rhcat leading to Rh(iii)–H represents the major reaction pathway, which is highly oxygen sensitive. The oxidative quenching of the PF singlet state by Rhcat is a competing mechanism, which prevails in non-degassed systems.
