Abstract: We report the chemical analysis of the body odour collected from three tranquilised wild tigers (Panthera tigris tigris), from the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve in India. The electron micrograph of hairs from two tigers has been elucidated. A few saturated, unbranched fatty acid methyl esters like methyl tetradecanoate, methyl pentadecanoate, methyl hexadecanoate, methyl stearate, methyl eicosanoate and methyl eruciate were identified. A few benzenoid compounds were also detected. The possible significance of body odour and hair structure is discussed.

202. Distinction between multifragmentation mechanisms from IMF-IMF correlation functions

Author: Subrata Pal
Subjects: Nuclear physics, Physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Intermediate energy, Fission, Scientific method, Evaporation, Heavy ion, Atomic physics, Nuclear Experiment
Abstract: In intermediate energy heavy ion collisions, hot nuclear systems formed may disassemble by any of the three distinct mechanisms, namely, sequential fission, prompt multifragmentation or sequential evaporation. For identical multifragment channels considered for these three mechanisms, the correlation functions for intermediate mass fragments (IMFs) which are sensitive to the spatial-temporal extent of the emission process are exploited to delineate the different possible break-up scenarios.

Subjects: State model, Physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Fission, Nuclear Theory, Binary number, Observable, Nuclear physics, medicine.anatomical_structure, Fragmentation (mass spectrometry), medicine, Nuclear Experiment, Nucleon, Nucleus, Recombination
Abstract: The effective fission barrier of a hot nucleus in nuclear multifragmentation in the sequential binary decay model depends on the configuration of the neighbouring fragments generated in the previous stages of binary decay. Taking this into consideration, various observables related to multifragmentation in intermediate energy nuclear collisions are evaluated in the transition state model. The effect of recombination of the fragments during dynamical evolution of the system is also taken into account. The results of our calculations are confronted with the experimental data from fragmentation in the reaction Au on Cu at 600 MeV/nucleon bombarding energy.

204. Signature of exotic nuclear shapes from IMF-IMF correlations

Author: S.K. Samaddar, Subrata Pal, and J. N. De
Subjects: Physics, Nuclear physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Toroid, Intermediate energy, Fragmentation (mass spectrometry), Coulomb, Heavy ion, Statistical model, Interaction energy, Nuclear Experiment, Spatial geometry
Abstract: Fragmentation of exotic nuclear shapes like toroids and bubbles predicted to be formed in intermediate energy heavy ion central collisions within the framework of BUU type calculations is studied in a statistical model with microcanonical simulation of prompt multifragmentation. The relatively smaller interfragment Coulomb interaction energy in the exotic shapes results in an enhanced production of intermediate mass fragments (IMFs) compared to that in the compact spherical configuration. The differences in the spatial geometry of the fragmenting shapes manifested in the inclusive charge distributions are further projected sharply in the IMF-IMF correlations. We exploit the correlation function to delineate the different fragmenting configurations.

205. Recombination effect in nuclear multifragmentation

Author: A. C. Das, J. N. De, Subrata Pal, and S.K. Samaddar
Subjects: Nuclear physics, Physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Fragmentation (mass spectrometry), Excited state, Binary number, Observable, Nuclear Experiment, Recombination
Abstract: Hot nuclear systems formed in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions may disassemble into a number of fragments either by sequential binary decay or one-step prompt multifragmentation. Any pair of these fragments during dynamical evolution may come very close to one another and recombine. The fused complex may undergo further fragmentation if sufficiently excited. Using the transition-state model for binary decay and the microcanonical model for prompt multifragmentation, the effect of this recombination is studied for a number of observables.

Abstract: Primary intracranial malignant melanoma is a very rare tumor, and most of the central nervous system melanomas are metastatic diseases. Diagnosis needs extensive dermatological, opthalmological, and radiological workup to exclude metastatic melanoma. Histologically, it should be differentiate from benign melanocytic lesions, pigmented choroid plexus carcinoma, and pigmented papillary medulloblastoma. Here, we are reporting a case of primary malignant melanoma of posterior fossa in an adolescent girl diagnosed in squash cytology as well as in histology and confirmed by immunohistochemistry and by excluding metastatic melanoma.

Abstract: Background: Brain tumors are heterogeneous group of neoplasms, affecting different age groups. Although some studies have been published regarding pathological pattern of brain tumors from different countries of the world and also from India, comprehensive clinicopathological studies from Eastern India is lacking. Aims: The aim of this study was to observe recent incidence of different brain tumors and to study clinical and histopathological spectrum of brain tumors in Eastern India. Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional observational study involving 130 cases of brain tumors which were diagnosed during the 3-year study period (January 2010–December 2012). Data regarding clinical presentation and radiological features of all cases were collected from all patients. Histopathological diagnosis was correlated with clinical and radiological diagnosis. Results: We found 130 cases of brain tumor with a male preponderance. The cases were distributed in a wide age range from 4 years to 78 years with the mean age of 42.38 years. Most common tumor type in our study was neuroepithelial tumor (92 cases, 70.76%). Among the neuroepithelial tumors, most frequent subtype was astrocytic tumor (54 cases, 41.5%). The second most frequent brain tumor was meningioma (20 cases, 15.3%). We found higher incidence of oligodendroglial tumor (8.46%) and medulloblastoma (7.69%) in our series. Conclusion: Males are more predispose to brain tumors in comparison to females. Astrocytic tumors are most common subtype in Eastern India. However, the WHO Grade I neoplasms are more frequent brain tumors.

210. Low-mass dilepton production in a relativistic Hagedorn-resonance gas model

Abstract: Dilepton production in the low-invariant-mass region in p+p and Au + Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV and in Pb + Au collisions at 158 AGeV is studied in the relativistic hadron resonance gas model with Hagedorn mass spectrum that grows exponentially. The model provides good agreement with the observed yield and spectra of stable hadrons and resonances produced in both p+p and nucleus-nucleus collisions. While the measured dilepton yields in p+p collisions are well understood in the model with Dalitz and direct decays of conventional neutral meson sources, a sizable amount of the mesons produced from the Hagedorn states still cannot explain the large enhancement observed in the invariant mass region 200–700 MeV/c2 in Pb + Au and especially in Au + Au collisions. In a multiphase transport (AMPT) model, the dilepton produced from the standard hadronic sources in absence of Hagedorn states underpredicts the data to a larger extent. The study suggests that Hagedorn states in conjugation with in-medium modification of the properties of ρ mesons may be essential for the enhanced dilepton production.

211. Medium information from anisotropic flow and jet quenching in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Abstract: Within a multiphase transport (AMPT) model, where the initial conditions are obtained from the recently updated HIJING 2.0 model, the recent anisotropic flow and suppression data for charged hadrons in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV are explored to constrain the properties of the partonic medium formed. In contrast to RHIC, the measured centrality dependence of charged hadron multiplicity dN_ch/deta at LHC provides severe constraint to the largely uncertain gluon shadowing parameter s_g. We find final-state parton scatterings reduce considerably hadron yield at midrapidity and enforces a smaller s_g to be consistent with dN_ch/deta data at LHC. With the parton shadowing so constrained, hadron production and flow over a wide transverse momenta range are investigated in AMPT. The model calculations for the elliptic and triangular flow are found to be in excellent agreement with the RHIC data, and predictions for the flow coefficients v_n(p_T, cent) at LHC are given. The magnitude and pattern of suppression of the hadrons in AMPT are found consistent with the measurements at RHIC. However, the suppression is distinctly overpredicted in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energy. Reduction of the QCD coupling constant alpha_s by ~30% in the higher temperature plasma formed at LHC reproduces the measured hadron suppression., Comment: Talk given by Subrata Pal at the 11th International Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (NN2012), San Antonio, Texas, USA, May 27-June 1, 2012.

Abstract: A bacterial strain, designated as TSB-6, was isolated from the sediments of a Tantloi (India) hot spring at 65 °C. The strain showed 98% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Anoxybacillus kualawohkensis strain KW12 and was found to grow optimally at 37 °C. However, growing cells, cell suspensions, and cell-free extracts from 65 °C cultures showed higher Cr(VI) reduction activities when assayed at either 37 or 65 °C than those obtained from 37 °C cultures. On fractionation of extracts from cells grown at 65 °C, the chromate reductase activity assayed at 65 °C was found mostly in the soluble fraction. When log-phase cells growing at 37 °C were shifted to 65 °C, the stressed cells produced larger quantities of reactive oxygen species. Consequently, growth of the cells was retarded, but specific Cr(VI) reduction activity increased. 2D gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF MS/MS identified the proteins whose expression level changed as a result of heat stress. The upregulated set included proteins involved in cellular metabolism of sugar, nucleotide, amino acids, lipids and vitamins, oxidoreductase activity, and protein folding. The downregulated proteins are also involved in cellular metabolism, DNA binding, and environmental signal processing.

Abstract: The effects of over-expression of NifH (Fe protein) on nitrogenase activity in Azotobacter vinelandii UW cells were studied by expressing an extra nifH gene under the control of the inducible meta-toluic acid pathway promoter Pm. The total amount of protein in UW/pJB654-N reacting to anti-NifH antibody was 2-3 fold of that in control UW when both the strains were grown to exponential phase in the presence of 4 μM m-toluic acid. As a consequence UW/pJB654-N showed two-fold higher acetylene reduction activity and released 70% higher amounts of ammonium into the growth medium than the control. Concomitant changes were observed also in the cellular levels of siderophores and iron superoxide dismutase (FeSOD). Thus, our results indicating that increased level of Fe protein in the cell can enhance nitrogen fixation activity of A. vinelandii may have biotechnological significance.

Abstract: Lymphatic filariasis is endemic in India and South-East Asia. Detection of microfilaria is infrequently reported during cytological evaluation of various lesions or body cavity fluids. Microfilariae in cytological smears of few benign and malignant neoplasms have also been reported. Here we present a very rare case of presence of microfilariae in a smear from ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration of gallbladder adenocarcinoma. The present patient is probably the second reported case in the literature harboring occult filariasis in association with gallbladder carcinoma. Though it is a chance finding, cytology can be an effective tool for detection of asymptomatic filariasis helping to pave the way of disease eradication.

Abstract: We investigate the liquid-gas phase transition of hot protoneutron stars shortly after their birth following supernova explosion and the composition and structure of hyperon-rich (proto)neutron stars within a relativistic mean-field model where the nuclear symmetry energy has been constrained from the measured neutron skin thickness of finite nuclei. Light clusters are abundantly formed with increasing temperature well inside the neutrino-sphere for an uniform supernova matter. Liquid-gas phase transition is found to suppress the cluster yield within the coexistence phase as well as decrease considerably the neutron-proton asymmetry over a wide density range. We find symmetry energy has a modest effect on the boundaries and the critical temperature for the liquid-gas phase transition, and the composition depends more sensitively on the number of trapped neutrinos and temperature of the protoneutron star. The influence of hyperons in the dense interior of stars makes the overall equation of state soft. However, neutrino trapping distinctly delays the appearance of hyperons due to abundance of electrons. We also find that a softer symmetry energy further makes the onset of hyperon less favorable. The resulting structures of the (proto)neutron stars with hyperons and with liquid-gas phase transition are discussed., Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, RevTex

Abstract: We report on the measurement of two-pion correlation functions from pp collisions at root s = 900 GeV performed by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Our analysis shows an increase of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss radius with increasing event multiplicity, in line with other measurements done in particle- and nuclear collisions. Conversely, the strong decrease of the radius with increasing transverse momentum, as observed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and at Tevatron, is not manifest in our data.

Abstract: The liquid-gas phase transition in hot asymmetric nuclear matter is investigated within relativistic mean-field model using the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy constrained from the measured neutron skin thickness of finite nuclei. We find symmetry energy has a significant influence on several features of liquid-gas phase transition. The boundary and area of the liquid-gas coexistence region, the maximal isospin asymmetry and the critical values of pressure and isospin asymmetry all of which systematically increase with increasing softness in the density dependence of symmetry energy. The critical temperature below which the liquid-gas mixed phase exists is found higher for a softer symmetry energy., 5 pages, RevTex, 5 figures

Abstract: Parity-odd domains, corresponding to non-trivial topological solutions of the QCD vacuum, might be created during relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These domains are predicted to lead to charge separation of quarks along the orbital momentum of the system created in non-central collisions. To study this effect, we investigate a three particle mixed harmonics azimuthal correlator which is a \P-even observable, but directly sensitive to the charge separation effect. We report measurements of this observable using the STAR detector in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 and 62~GeV. The results are presented as a function of collision centrality, particle separation in rapidity, and particle transverse momentum. A signal consistent with several of the theoretical expectations is detected in all four data sets. We compare our results to the predictions of existing event generators, and discuss in detail possible contributions from other effects that are not related to parity violation., Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, as accepted for publication in Physical Review C.

Abstract: Nuclear multifragmentation in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions has long been associated with liquid-gas phase transition. We calculate the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio eta/s for an equilibrated system of nucleons and fragments produced in multifragmentation within an extended statistical multifragmentation model. The temperature dependence of eta/s exhibits surprisingly similar behavior as that for water. In the coexistence phase of fragments and light particles, the ratio eta/s reaches a minimum of comparable depth as that for water in the vicinity of the critical temperature for liquid-gas phase transition. The effects of freeze-out volume and surface symmetry energy on eta/s in multifragmentation are studied., 5 pages, 5 figures, to appear in PRC

Abstract: We present the first measurements of identified hadron production, azimuthal anisotropy, and pion interferometry from Au + Au collisions below the nominal injection energy at the BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. The data were collected using the large acceptance solenoidal tracker at RHIC (STAR) detector at root s(NN) = 9.2 GeV from a test run of the collider in the year 2008. Midrapidity results on multiplicity density dN/dy in rapidity y, average transverse momentum , particle ratios, elliptic flow, and Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii are consistent with the corresponding results at similar root s(NN) from fixed-target experiments. Directed flow measurements are presented for both midrapidity and forward-rapidity regions. Furthermore the collision centrality dependence of identified particle dN/dy, , and particle ratios are discussed. These results also demonstrate that the capabilities of the STAR detector, although optimized for root s(NN) = 200 GeV, are suitable for the proposed QCD critical-point search and exploration of the QCD phase diagram at RHIC.

Abstract: The problems of standard hip prosthesis are wide difference in Mechanical properties with bone, mismatch in geometry of marrow cavity& prosthesis and secondary proximal bone loss during surgical preparation. Followed by femoral osteolysis and thigh pain. Mismatch in geometry is eliminated in custom made prosthesis, as it is designed following the medullary cavity of femur of a particular patient and eventually it provides the angle of anteversion which helps Asians to squat, sit cross leged and will have better service life. It is a patient Specific Design and it is a full contact design.

Abstract: ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiment devoted to investigating the strongly interacting matter created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC energies. The ALICE ITS, Inner Tracking System, consists of six cylindrical layers of silicon detectors with three different technologies; in the outward direction: two layers of pixel detectors, two layers each of drift, and strip detectors. The number of parameters to be determined in the spatial alignment of the 2198 sensor modules of the ITS is about 13,000. The target alignment precision is well below 10 micron in some cases (pixels). The sources of alignment information include survey measurements, and the reconstructed tracks from cosmic rays and from proton-proton collisions. The main track-based alignment method uses the Millepede global approach. An iterative local method was developed and used as well. We present the results obtained for the ITS alignment using about 10^5 charged tracks from cosmic rays that have been collected during summer 2008, with the ALICE solenoidal magnet switched off., 37 pages, 15 captioned figures, 1 table, published version, figures at http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/ArtSubmission/node/3907

Abstract: Charged-particle spectra associated with direct photon ($\gamma_{dir} $) and $\pi^0$ are measured in $p$+$p$ and Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV with the STAR detector at RHIC. A hower-shape analysis is used to partially discriminate between $\gamma_{dir}$ and $\pi^0$. Assuming no associated charged particles in the $\gamma_{dir}$ direction (near side) and small contribution from fragmentation photons ($\gamma_{frag}$), the associated charged-particle yields opposite to $\gamma_{dir}$ (away side) are extracted.

Abstract: The STAR Collaboration at RHIC presents a systematic study of high transverse momentum charged di-hadron correlations at small azimuthal pair separation \dphino, in d+Au and central Au+Au collisions at $\rts = 200$ GeV. Significant correlated yield for pairs with large longitudinal separation \deta is observed in central Au+Au, in contrast to d+Au collisions. The associated yield distribution in \detano$\times$\dphi can be decomposed into a narrow jet-like peak at small angular separation which has a similar shape to that found in d+Au collisions, and a component which is narrow in \dphi and \textcolor{black}{depends only weakly on} $\deta$, the "ridge". Using two systematically independent analyses, \textcolor{black}{finite ridge yield} is found to persist for trigger $\pt > 6$ \GeVc, indicating that it is correlated with jet production. The transverse momentum spectrum of hadrons comprising the ridge is found to be similar to that of bulk particle production in the measured range ($2 < \pt < 4 \GeVc$)., Submitted to Phys. Rev.

Abstract: An inoculum containing two amylolytic and three cellulolytic thermophilic bacteria, isolated from a preceding compost pile and identified as Geobacillus species by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, was applied to a mixture of market waste, rice straw and cow dung (5:1:0.2) so that the initial cell density was 2 x 10(8) colony forming unit (CFU) per gram dry weight at 55 degrees Celsius. The inoculation increased the total cell count particularly in the thermophilic stage as determined by flow cytometry. Concomitantly, there was a significant rise in microbial metabolism in the compost pile as reflected by the dehydrogenase activity. As a result, the C/N ratio dropped more rapidly in the inoculated mixture than that in the control without inoculum. The study, therefore, suggested that inoculation by thermophilic bacteria would be effective in the composting process at least in the thermophilic stage.

Abstract: Parity-odd domains, corresponding to non-trivial topological solutions of the QCD vacuum, might be created during relativistic heavy ion collisions. These domains are predicted to lead to charge separation of quarks along the system's orbital momentum axis. We investigate a three particle azimuthal correlator which is a \P even observable, but directly sensitive to the charge separation effect. We report measurements of charged hadrons near center-of-mass rapidity with this observable in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV using the STAR detector. A signal consistent with several expectations from the theory is detected. We discuss possible contributions from other effects that are not related to parity violation., Comment: version as published in Physical Review Letters.

Abstract: Identified charged-particle spectra of pi(+/-), K(+/-), p, and (p) over bar at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.1) measured by the dE/dx method in the STAR (solenoidal tracker at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) time projection chamber are reported for pp and d + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV and for Au + Au collisions at 62.4, 130, and 200 GeV. Average transverse momenta, total particle production, particle yield ratios, strangeness, and baryon production rates are investigated as a function of the collision system and centrality. The transverse momentum spectra are found to be flatter for heavy particles than for light particles in all collision systems; the effect is more prominent for more central collisions. The extracted average transverse momentum of each particle species follows a trend determined by the total charged-particle multiplicity density. The Bjorken energy density estimate is at least several GeV/fm(3) for a formation time less than 1 fm/c. A significantly larger net-baryon density and a stronger increase of the net-baryon density with centrality are found in Au + Au collisions at 62.4 GeV than at the two higher energies. Antibaryon production relative to total particle multiplicity is found to be constant over centrality, but increases with the collision energy. Strangeness production relative to total particle multiplicity is similar at the three measured RHIC energies. Relative strangeness production increases quickly with centrality in peripheral Au + Au collisions, to a value about 50% above the pp value, and remains rather constant in more central collisions. Bulk freeze-out properties are extracted from thermal equilibrium model and hydrodynamics-motivated blast-wave model fits to the data. Resonance decays are found to have little effect on the extracted kinetic freeze-out parameters because of the transverse momentum range of our measurements. The extracted chemical freeze-out temperature is constant, independent of collision system or centrality; its value is close to the predicted phase-transition temperature, suggesting that chemical freeze-out happens in the vicinity of hadronization and the chemical freeze-out temperature is universal despite the vastly different initial conditions in the collision systems. The extracted kinetic freeze-out temperature, while similar to the chemical freeze-out temperature in pp, d + Au, and peripheral Au + Au collisions, drops significantly with centrality in Au + Au collisions, whereas the extracted transverse radial flow velocity increases rapidly with centrality. There appears to be a prolonged period of particle elastic scatterings from chemical to kinetic freeze-out in central Au + Au collisions. The bulk properties extracted at chemical and kinetic freeze-out are observed to evolve smoothly over the measured energy range, collision systems, and collision centralities.

Abstract: Shoulder joints were replaced due to trauma or chronic arthritis and other disease processes, osteoarthritis and or other disease processes. Usually the available prostheses generally use some standard ball diameters and stem length of the humeral component. Many varieties are available including modular type with replaceable ball diameter Therefore there is a mismatch in the ball size and actual bony cavity and the prosthesis that will be inserted leading to excess bone loss during insertion in the bone which sometimes calls for an early revision surgery.

Abstract: Resonance particle ratios and spectra are calculated in the sequential binary emission model for hadrons produced from the decay of a single massive resonance formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The sequential model which is quite successful in reproducing the yield ratios for stable hadrons at energies currently available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is found to describe remarkably well the yield ratios for the resonances K*(892){sup 0} and {phi} mesons. The model indicates a short expansion time between the average chemical and thermal freeze-out with negligible regeneration of the resonances via the inverse two-body elastic collision process. Model estimates of the yield ratios for the strange baryons {lambda}(1520) and {sigma}(1385) are presented.

Abstract: The mechanism and the rate of hydrogen bond-breaking in the hydration layer surrounding an aqueous protein are important ingredients required to understand the various aspects of protein dynamics, its function, and stability. Here, we use computer simulation and a time correlation function technique to understand these aspects in the hydration layer of lysozyme. Water molecules in the layer are found to exhibit three distinct bond-breaking mechanisms. A large angle orientational jump of the donor water molecule is common among all of them. In the most common $(\approx80\%)$ bond-breaking event in the layer, the new acceptor water molecule comes from the first coordination shell (initially within $3.5 \AA$ of the donor), and the old acceptor water molecule remains within the first coordination shell, even after the bond-breaking. This is in contrast to that in bulk water, in which both of the acceptor molecules involve the second coordination shell. Additionally, the motion of the incoming and the outgoing acceptor molecules involved is not diffusive in the hydration layer, in contrast to their observed diffusive motion in the bulk. The difference in rotational dynamics between the bulk and the hydration layer water molecules is clearly manifested in the calculated time-dependent angular van Hove self-correlation function $(G(\theta, t))$ which has a pronounced two-peak structure in the layer, and this can be traced to the constrained translational motion in the layer. The longevity of the surrounding hydrogen bond network is found to be significantly enhanced near a hydrophilic residue.

Abstract: We present the first spin alignment measurements for the K*{sup 0}(892) and (1020) vector mesons produced at midrapidity with transverse momenta up to 5 GeV/c at {radical}s{sub NN} = 200 GeV at RHIC. The diagonal spin-density matrix elements with respect to the reaction plane in Au+Au collisions are {rho}{sub 00} = 0.32 {+-} 0.04 (stat) {+-} 0.09 (syst) for the K*{sup 0} (0.8 < p{sub T} < 5.0 GeV/c) and {rho}{sub 00} = 0.34 {+-} 0.02 (stat) {+-} 0.03 (syst) for the {phi} (0.4 < p{sub T} < 5.0 GeV/c) and are constant with transverse momentum and collision centrality. The data are consistent with the unpolarized expectation of 1/3 and thus no evidence is found for the transfer of the orbital angular momentum of the colliding system to the vector-meson spins. Spin alignments for K*{sup 0} and {phi} in Au+Au collisions were also measured with respect to the particle's production plane. The {phi} result, {rho}{sub 00} = 0.41 {+-} 0.02 (stat) {+-} 0.04 (syst), is consistent with that in p+p collisions, {rho}{sub 00} = 0.39 {+-} 0.03 (stat) {+-} 0.06 (syst), also measured in this work. The measurements thus constrain the possible size of polarization phenomena in the production dynamicsmore » of vector mesons.« less

Abstract: To document clinical, serum and urinary parameters in patients with features of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus and to correlate light microscopical findings of the renal biopsy specimen with the clinical, serum and urinary parameters, a study was conducted among 30 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with features of nephropathy attended Medical College, Kolkata with special emphasis given on neurological and fundoscopic examination. The patients were investigated with fasting and postprandial venous plasma glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), serum urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, 24-hour urinary protein/micro-albumin and lipid profile. Percutaneous renal biopsy was performed after taking informed consent from the patients and sent for histopathological examination. Obtained data were tabulated and analysed. Among 30 patients (male-16; female-14; proteinuric-23, micro-albuminuric-6) diabetic nephropathy was detected in 28 patients (diffuse-15, nodular-9, 4 had focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) and 2 had normal renal biopsy. Retinopathy was detected in 16 patients; 12 had autonomic neuropathy and 3 had peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract: We present measurements of net charge fluctuations in $Au + Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 19.6, 62.4, 130, and 200 GeV, $Cu + Cu$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 62.4, 200 GeV, and $p + p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 200 GeV using the dynamical net charge fluctuations measure $\nu_{+-{\rm,dyn}}$. We observe that the dynamical fluctuations are non-zero at all energies and exhibit a modest dependence on beam energy. A weak system size dependence is also observed. We examine the collision centrality dependence of the net charge fluctuations and find that dynamical net charge fluctuations violate $1/N_{ch}$ scaling, but display approximate $1/N_{part}$ scaling. We also study the azimuthal and rapidity dependence of the net charge correlation strength and observe strong dependence on the azimuthal angular range and pseudorapidity widths integrated to measure the correlation., Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, STAR Collaboration

Abstract: We report the measurement of {lambda} and {lambda} yields and inverse slope parameters in d+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV at forward and backward rapidities (y={+-}2.75), using data from the STAR forward time projection chambers. The contributions of different processes to baryon transport and particle production are probed exploiting the inherent asymmetry of the d+Au system. Comparisons to model calculations show that baryon transport on the deuteron side is consistent with multiple collisions of the deuteron nucleons with gold participants. On the gold side, HIJING-based models without a hadronic rescattering phase do not describe the measured particle yields, while models that include target remnants or hadronic rescattering do. The multichain model can provide a good description of the net baryon density in d+Au collisions at energies currently available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the derived parameters of the model agree with those from nuclear collisions at lower energies.

Abstract: A major worldwide health problem is hip fracture due to sideways fall among the elderly population. The effects of sideways fall on the hip are required to be investigated thoroughly. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the responses to trochanteric soft tissue thickness (T) variations and hip impact velocity (V) variations during sideways fall based on a previously developed CT scan derived 3D non-linear and non-homogeneous finite element model of pelvis-femur-soft tissue complex with simplified biomechanical representation of the whole body. This study is also aimed at quantifying the effects [peak impact force (F(max)), time to F(max), acceleration and peak principal compressive strain (epsilon(max))] of these variations (T,V) on hip fracture. It was found that under constant impact energy, for 81% decrease in T (26-5mm), F(max) and epsilon(max) increased by 38% and 97%, respectively. Hence, decrease in T (as in slimmer persons) strongly correlated to risk for hip fracture (phi) and strain ratio (SR) by 0.972 and 0.988, respectively. Also under same T and body weight, for 75% decrease in V (4.79-1.2m/s), F(max) and epsilon(max) decreased by 70% and 86%, respectively. Hence, increase in V (as in taller persons) strongly correlated to phi and SR by 0.995 and 0.984, respectively. For both variations in T and V, inter-trochanteric fracture situations were well demonstrated by phi as well as by SR and strain contours, similar to clinically observed fractures. These quantifications would be helpful for effective design of person-specific hip protective devices.

Abstract: Clear cell carcinoma of cervix is a very rare neoplasm accounting only 4% of all cervical adenocarcinomas. Intrauterine exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) is supposed to be causative factor for clear cell adenocarcinoma in childhood and young-age patients. We are reporting a case of clear cell carcinoma of cervix in a 49-years-old multiparous post-menopausal woman, who had no exposure to DES (in-utero) or synthetic non-steroidal estrogen.

Abstract: Recent time domain experiments have explored solvation dynamics of a probe located inside a DNA duplex, in an effort to gain information, e.g., on the dynamics of water molecules in the DNA major and minor grooves and their environment. Multiple time constants in the range of a few picoseconds to several nanoseconds were obtained. We have carried out 15 ns long atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study the solvation dynamics of bases of a 38 base-pair long DNA duplex in an aqueous solution containing counterions. We have computed the energy-energy time correlation function (TCF) of the four individual bases (A, T, G, and C) to characterize the solvation dynamics. All the TCFs display highly nonexponential decay with time. When the trajectories are analyzed with 100 fs time resolution, the TCF of each base shows initial ultrafast decay (with tau1 approximately equal 60-80 fs) followed by two intermediate components (tau2 approximately equal 1 ps, tau3 approximately equal 20-30 ps), in near complete agreement with a recent time domain experiment on DNA solvation. Interestingly, the solvation dynamics of each of the four different nucleotide bases exhibit rather similar time scales. To explore the existence of slow relaxation at longer times reported recently in a series of experiments, we also analyzed the solvation TCFs calculated with longer time trajectories and with a larger time resolution of 1 ps. In this case, an additional slow component with a time constant of the order of 250 ps is observed. Through an analysis of partial solvation TCFs, we find that the slow decay originates mainly from the interaction of the nucleotides with the dipolar water molecules and the counterions. An interesting negative cross-correlation between water and counterions is observed, which makes an important contribution to relaxation at intermediate to longer times.

Abstract: Dynamics of water molecules in the grooves of DNA are of great interest both for practical (functionality of DNA) and fundamental (as examples of confined systems) interest. Here the authors employ atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to understand varying water dynamics at the minor and the major grooves of a 38 base-pair long DNA duplex in water. In order to understand and quantify the diversity in the nature of hydrogen bond due to many hydrogen bond donors and acceptors present in the four bases, they have undertaken study of hydrogen bond lifetime (HBLT) correlation functions of all the specific hydrogen bonds between the base atoms and water molecules. They find that the HBLT correlation functions are in general multiexponential, with the average lifetime depending significantly on the specificity and may thus be biologically relevant. The average hydrogen bond lifetime is longer in the minor groove than that in the major groove by almost a factor of 2. Analysis further shows that water hydrogen bonds with phosphate oxygen have substantially shorter lifetimes than those with the groove atoms. They also compute two different orientational time correlation functions (OTCFs) of the water molecules present at the major and the minor grooves and attempt to correlate OTCF with HBLT correlation function. The OTCFs in the minor groove exhibit three time scales, with the time constant of the slowest component one to two orders of magnitude longer than what is observed for bulk water. A slow component is also present for the major groove water but with shorter time constant. Interestingly, correlation between reformations allowed HBLT correlation function [C(HB)(t)] and the OTCF markedly deviates from each other in the grooves, indicating enhanced rigidity of water molecules in the grooves.

Abstract: Transport properties (translational and rotational) of water in the two grooves of the B-DNA duplex are known to be different from those in the bulk. Here, we use a recently developed theoretical scheme to compute the entropies of water molecules in both of the grooves of DNA and compare them with that in the bulk. The scheme requires as input both translational and rotational velocity autocorrelation function (C(V)(t) and C(omega)(t), respectively) data. These velocity autocorrelation functions were computed from an atomistic MD simulation of a B-DNA duplex (36 base pairs long) in explicit water (TIP3P). The average values of the entropy of water at 300 K in both of the grooves of DNA (the TS value in the major groove is 6.71 kcal/mol and that in the minor groove is 6.41 kcal/mol) are found to be significantly lower than that in bulk water (the TS value is 7.27 kcal/mol). Thus, the entropic contribution to the free energy change (TDeltaS) of transferring a minor groove water molecule to the bulk is 0.86 kcal/mol and of transferring a major groove water to the bulk is 0.56 kcal/mol at 300 K, which is to be compared with 1.44 kcal/mol for melting of ice at 273 K. We also calculate the energy of interaction of each water molecule with the rest of the atoms in the system and hence calculate the chemical potential (Helmholtz free energy per water molecule, A = E - TS) in the different domains. The identical free energy value of water molecules in the different domains proves the robustness of the scheme. We propose that the configurational entropy of water in the grooves can be used as a measure of the mobility (or microviscosity) of water molecules in a given domain.

Abstract: Measurements of two-particle correlations on angular difference variables η1 − η2 (pseudorapidity) and φ1 − φ2 (azimuth) are presented for all primary charged hadrons with transverse momentum 0.15 ≤ p_t ≤ 2 GeV/c and |η| ≤ 1.3 from Au-Au collisions at √s_(NN) = 130 GeV. Large-amplitude correlations are observed over a broad range in relative angles where distinct structures appear on the same-side and away-side (i.e., relative azimuth less than π/2 or greater than π/2). The principal correlation structures include that associated with elliptic flow plus a strong, same-side peak. It is hypothesized that the latter results from correlated hadrons associated with semi-hard parton scattering in the early stage of the heavy-ion collision which produces a jet-like correlation peak at small relative angles. The width of the jet-like peak on η1 − η2 increases by a factor 2.3 from peripheral to central collisions, suggesting strong coupling of semi-hard scattered partons to a longitudinally-expanding medium. The new methods of jet analysis introduced here provide access to scattered partons at low transverse momentum well below the kinematic range where perturbative quantum chromodynamics and standard fragmentation models are applicable.

Abstract: We conducted a hospital-based case-control investigation (150 cases and 176 controls) to examine the putative role of conventional risk factors in subjects with and without coronary heart disease from Eastern India. Multivariate binary logistic regression revealed the following as significant risk factors for coronary heart disease: male sex (OR = 4.6, p = 0.001), elevated total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein ratio (OR = 4.0, p = 0.001), systolic blood pressure (OR = 3.0, p = 0.004), diastolic blood pressure (OR = 3.6, p = 0.002), fasting plasma glucose (OR = 3.0, p = 0.05), post-pondrial plasma glucose (OR = 3.2, p = 0.005), Impaired fasting glucose (OR = 3.7, p = 0.002), elevated triglyceride (OR = 3.1, p = 0.018), increased total cholesterol (OR = 3.0, p = 0.029), low-density lipoprotein (OR = 3.1, p = 0.001), low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio (OR = 3.4, p = 0.004), central obesity (OR = 3.0, p = 0.006), smoking (OR = 3.7, p = 0.001) and urban residence (OR = 3.1, p = 0.003). In this study, the discriminant analysis showed that 77.2% of all entry for cases and 72.6% of all entry for controls were correctly classified using conventional risk factors and warrant early intervention for conventional risk factors.

Abstract: We investigate various properties of neutron star matter within an effective chiral $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ model. The predictions of this model are compared with a Walecka-type model. It is demonstrated that the importance of hyperon degrees are strongly depending on the interaction used, even if the equation of state near saturation density is nearly the same in both models. While the Walecka-type model predicts a strange star core with strangeness fraction $f_S \approx 4/3$, the chiral model allows only for $f_S \approx 1/3$ and predicts that $\Sigma^0$, $\Sigma^+$ and $\Xi^0$ will not exist in star, in contrast to the Walecka-type model., Comment: 13 pages, Revtex, 5 figs included

Abstract: High spin levels in $^{108}\mathrm{Cd}$ have been populated through $^{100}\mathrm{Mo}(^{13}\mathrm{C},5n\ensuremath{\gamma})^{108}\mathrm{Cd}$ reaction using a 65 MeV $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ beam. The lifetime of the ${14}^{+},{16}^{+},{18}^{+}$, and ${20}^{+}$ levels of the positive parity yrast band of $^{108}\mathrm{Cd}$ have been measured using the Doppler shift attenuation method. The evaluated B(E2) values from the measured lifetimes have been compared with the B(E2) values calculated using the semiclassical model, which assume shears mechanism, and the values obtained from total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations. Both calculations show good agreement with the measured values. In addition, the large ${\mathcal{J}}^{(2)}/B(E2)$ ratio may indicate that a large contribution to the angular momentum of this band is generated by shears mechanism. Thus, the present work indicates that the states of the positive parity yrast band from ${16}^{+}$ onwards in $^{108}\mathrm{Cd}$, originate due to antimagnetic rotation.

Abstract: Elliptic flow systematics for different hadron species have been explained by quark coalescence models. It has been argued that the elliptic asymmetry v_2 should scale with the number of quarks that comprise the hadron. We show how these arguments are sensitive to the relative role of asymmetries in the phase space density vs. asymmetries in the effective volume of emission. We also discuss the degree to which coalescence arguments differ from thermal models. Illustrative calculations based on solving the Boltzmann equation are presented along with the results of blast-wave models. Although the issue is complicated, ambiguities might be clarified by measurements of source-size parameters for nucleons at higher transverse momenta., Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures

Abstract: A statistical model for decay and formation of heavy hadronic resonances is formulated. The resonance properties become increasingly uncertain with increasing resonance mass. Drawing on analogy with the situation in low-energy nuclear physics, we employ the Weisskopf approach to the resonance processes. In the large-mass limit, the density of resonance states in mass is governed by a universal Hagedorn-like temperature T_H. As resonances decay, progressively more and more numerous lighter states get populated.

Abstract: Objective: Tuberculosis of thyroid gland is encountered in only 0.1% - 0.4% thyroid biopsies. We are presenting a case to emphasize inclusion of this rare disorder as a potential differential diagnosis during the assessment of thyroid lesions. Case report: 38-year female presented with a cystic nodule of left lobe of thyroid. Guided aspiration yielded only necrosed material. Biopsy revealed caseating granuloma with giant cells. Tuberculosis etiology was confirmed by PCR examination. Conclusion: Thyroid tuberculosis should always be considered as a probability during assessment of any midline cervical mass. Pre-operative diagnosis can avoid unnecessary surgery.
