TL;DR: In this article, the authors set out to better understand the current burden of AIP at several academic institutions diagnosed using the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria, and to describe long-term outcomes, including organs involved, treatments, relapse frequency and longterm sequelae.
Abstract: Objective Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a treatable form of chronic pancreatitis that has been increasingly recognised over the last decade. We set out to better understand the current burden of AIP at several academic institutions diagnosed using the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria, and to describe long-term outcomes, including organs involved, treatments, relapse frequency and long-term sequelae. Design 23 institutions from 10 different countries participated in this multinational analysis. A total of 1064 patients meeting the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria for type 1 (n=978) or type 2 (n=86) AIP were included. Data regarding treatments, relapses and sequelae were obtained. Results The majority of patients with type 1 (99%) and type 2 (92%) AIP who were treated with steroids went into clinical remission. Most patients with jaundice required biliary stent placement (71% of type 1 and 77% of type 2 AIP). Relapses were more common in patients with type 1 (31%) versus type 2 AIP (9%, p Conclusions AIP is a global disease which uniformly displays a high response to steroid treatment and tendency to relapse in the pancreas and biliary tree. Potential long-term sequelae include pancreatic duct stones and malignancy, however they were uncommon during the study period and require additional follow-up. Additional studies investigating prevention and treatment of disease relapses are needed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new idea for the origin of bulges in spiral galaxies, which is based on a simple analytical model in which the clumpy evolution of a disk galaxy is controlled by two parameters: the timescale with which the primordial gas in the halo accretes onto the disk plane (i.e., the collapse timescale) and the initial mass fraction of the gas relative to the galaxy total mass.
Abstract: A new idea is proposed for the origin of bulges in spiral galaxies. Numerical simulations of protogalactic collapse suggest strongly that galactic bulges have been assembled from massive clumps formed in galactic disks in their early evolutionary phase. These clumps result from the gravitational instability of the gas-rich disks of young galaxies. Owing to dynamical frictions, those massive clumps, individual masses of which can be as large as ~109 M?, are able to spiral toward the galactic center within a few Gyr. Inward transport of disk matter by this process leads to the formation of a galactic bulge. A simple analytical model has been constructed in which the clumpy evolution of a disk galaxy is controlled by two parameters: the timescale with which the primordial gas in the halo accretes onto the disk plane (i.e., the collapse timescale) and the initial mass fraction of the gas relative to the galaxy total mass. Under plausible assumptions for the variation of these parameters among spiral galaxies, the clumpy evolution model can explain an observed trend in which the bulge-to-disk ratio increases as the total mass or the internal density of the galaxy increases. This success suggests that the clumpy evolution of the galactic disk constitutes an important ingredient of disk galaxy evolution. Star formation in primeval disk galaxies takes place mostly in the clumps. The resulting knotty appearance of these systems may explain the peculiar morphology observed in a number of high-redshift galaxies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an analytical formula for the harmonic Hall voltages to evaluate the effective field for both out-of-plane and in-plane magnetized systems, and the results illustrate the versatility of harmonic Hall voltage measurement for studying current induced torques in magnetic heterostructures.
Abstract: Solid understanding of current induced torques is a key to the development of current and voltage controlled magnetization dynamics in ultrathin magnetic heterostructures. To evaluate the size and direction of such torques, or effective fields, a number of methods have been employed. Here, we examine the adiabatic (low-frequency) harmonic Hall voltage measurement that has been used to study the effective field. We derive an analytical formula for the harmonic Hall voltages to evaluate the effective field for both out of plane and in-plane magnetized systems. The formula agrees with numerical calculations based on a macrospin model. Two different in-plane magnetized films, Pt|CoFeB|MgO and CuIr|CoFeB|MgO are studied using the formula developed. The effective field obtained for the latter system shows relatively good agreement with that estimated using spin torque switching phase diagram measurements reported previously. Our results illustrate the versatile applicability of harmonic Hall voltage measurement for studying current induced torques in magnetic heterostructures.

TL;DR: An overpotential of 540 mV at 10 mA cm-2 is attained in an acidic electrolyte and stable for over 30 h, which is the best OER performance in both alkaline and acidic media.
Abstract: The intrinsic catalytic activity at 10 mA cm-2 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is currently working out at overpotentials higher than 320 mV. A highly efficient electrocatalyst should possess both active sites and high conductivity; however, the loading of powder catalysts on electrodes may often suffer from the large resistance between catalysts and current collectors. This work reports a class of bulk amorphous NiFeP materials with metallic bonds from the viewpoint of electrode design. The materials reported here perfectly combine high macroscopic conductivity with surface active sites, and can be directly used as the electrodes with active sites toward high OER activity in both alkaline and acidic electrolytes. Specifically, a low overpotential of 219 mV is achieved at the geometric current density 10 mA cm-2 in an alkaline electrolyte, with the Tafel slope of 32 mV dec-1 and intrinsic overpotential of 280 mV. Meanwhile, an overpotential of 540 mV at 10 mA cm-2 is attained in an acidic electrolyte and stable for over 30 h, which is the best OER performance in both alkaline and acidic media. This work provides a different angle for the design of high-performance OER electrocatalysts and facilitates the device applications of electrocatalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, a transect of seven sites across the Tyrrhenian Sea, the youngest of the sub-basins of the Mediterranean Sea, was used to study the rifting and subsidence of the Sardinia passive continental margin.
Abstract: Leg 107 of the Ocean Drilling Program drilled a west-northwest-east-southeast transect of seven sites across the Tyrrhenian Sea, the youngest of the sub-basins of the Mediterranean Sea. Sites 654, 653, 652, and 656 document the rifting and subsidence of the Sardinia passive continental margin. On the upper margin (Site 654), we cored a classic transgressive sequence: subaerial conglomerates, overlain by oyster-bearing sands, overlain by marine marl. Comparison between the recovered lithologies and seismic reflection profiles suggests that the synrift sediments on the upper margin are Tortonian (late Miocene) to Messinian (latest Miocene) in age, whereas synrift sediments on the lower margin are Messinian to Pliocene in age. During the Messinian desiccation of the Mediterranean, Sites 654 and 653, now on the upper Sardinian margin, apparently occupied a basinal setting, where they received nannoplankton-bearing clays interbedded with laminated gypsum. Sites 656 and 652, now on the lower Sardinia margin, were apparently higher standing during the desiccation event; their Messinian facies are subaerial and lacustrine, respectively. We infer from these lines of evidence that tilting and subsidence occurred more than a million years earlier on the upper margin than on the lower margin. Such diachroneity can be interpreted in terms of migration of the zone of maximum extension above a "rolling-back" subduction zone, or in terms of extension of continental crust, by shear along a deep "detachment fault."
Sites 655, 651, and 650 were drilled into two small basalt-floored basins of the central and eastern Tyrrhenian. Emplacement of basaltic crust in the central Tyrrhenian (Vavilov Basin) apparently began more than a million years before, emplacement of basaltic crust in the eastern Tyrrhenian (Marsili Basin). This observation is compatible with previous suggestions that the Tyrrhenian has grown southeastward in response to "rollback" of the down-going slab that currently dips northwestward under the toe of Italy. At the easternmost site, high vesicularity of the basalt and benthic foram assemblages in the oldest sediments imply that the basalt erupted in water shallower than 2,500 m. It has apparently subsequently subsided to its present depth of >4,100 m below sea level nearly three times as fast as normal subsidence of crust formed at a mid-ocean ridge.
