    Abstract The PUREX solvent extraction process, widely used for recovering uranium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel, utilizes an organic solvent composed of tributyl phosphate (TBP). The emission of ionizing particles such as alpha particles, resulting from the decay of plutonium, makes the organic solvent vulnerable to degradation. Here, we study the ultrashort time alpha irradiation of tributylphosphate (TBP) and Pu(NO

    Abstract Ludwig's angina is a condition that could be fatal, causing severe diffuse cellulitis bilaterally that affects the submandibular, sublingual, and submental areas. It has an acute onset and progresses rapidly. A common and potentially deadly complication is airway impairment. Prompt diagnosis and treatment planning have the opportunity to save lives. An elective tracheostomy is recommended for the patient to maintain an open airway, followed by addressing potential affected spaces due to a widespread odontogenic infection. This infection has extended to the neck, causing elevation of the ventral surface of the tongue and floor of the mouth, leading to airway obstruction and the manifestation of stridor. In the latter stages of the illness, additional attention should be paid to maintaining the airway before surgical decompression and antibiotic treatment. In advanced cases, the usual protocol of care still includes surgical drainage of the infection, judicious administration of parenteral antibiotics, and airway management. A case report's objectives are to improve clinical knowledge, facilitate better diagnosis and treatment, and add to the body of medical research by offering a thorough and educational description of a particular patient's experience with this illness.

    Abstract Topic modelling with innovative deep learning methods has gained interest for a wide range of applications that includes COVID-19. It can provide, psychological, social and cultural insights for understanding human behaviour in extreme events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we use prominent deep learning-based language models for COVID-19 topic modelling taking into account data from the emergence (Alpha) to the Omicron variant in India. Our results show that the topics extracted for the subsequent waves had certain overlapping themes such as governance, vaccination, and pandemic management while novel issues aroused in political, social and economic situations during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also find a strong correlation between the major topics with news media prevalent during the respective time period. Hence, our framework has the potential to capture major issues arising during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic which can be extended to other countries and regions.

    Abstract Charge transfer is one of the mechanisms involved in non-covalent interactions. In molecular dimers, its contribution to pairwise interaction energies has been studied extensively using a variety of interaction energy decomposition schemes. In polar interactions such as hydrogen bonds, it can contribute ten or several tens of percent of the interaction energy. Less is known about its importance in higher-order interactions in many-body systems, mainly because of the lack of methods applicable to this problem. In this work, we extend our method for the quantification of the charge-transfer energy based on constrained DFT to many-body cases and apply it to model trimers extracted from molecular crystals. Our calculations show that charge transfer can account for a large fraction of the total three-body interaction energy. This also has implications for DFT calculations of many-body interactions in general as it is known that many DFT functionals struggle to describe charge-transfer effects correctly.

    Title translation A woman in her thirties with frequent mucosal ulcers.
    Abstract Background: Haploinsuffiency A20 (HA20) was first described in 2016 and is caused by a mutation in TNFAIP3/A20. Non-related families living on different continents were examined with whole exome sequencing (WES). All had symptoms of Behçet's disease. An autosomal dominant mutation was found.
    Case presentation: When in her early teens, the patient had presented with a painful labial ulcer. She also had recurrent mouth ulcers, sometimes accompanied by fever and elevated CRP, and on occasion by abdominal pain. The ulcers were biopsied, and she was diagnosed with likely Behçet's disease. Some family members were later admitted with similar symptoms, and a genetic cause was suspected. Twenty years later a new genetic test was performed, and a revised diagnosis of HA20 was correctly made.
    Interpretation: HA20 is a newly identified autoinflammatory disease due to an inherited mutation. This leads to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF α. The disease-causing process in this monogenic, inherited disease is very similar to the immune process in the acquired, multifactorial Behçet's disease. Fever, young age, abdominal involvement and global occurrence are factors that could lead to suspicion of HA20.

    Abstract Though there is evidence autism identification has been inequitable for populations who are culturally and linguistically minoritized, there is limited research that explains the issue of disproportionality and factors contributing to its occurrence, especially within an educational setting. To explore contributors to racial/ethnic disparities in autism special education eligibility, the current investigation evaluated child and evaluation characteristics as they relate to the absence of autism eligibility. Data were obtained from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network Study and included children with behavioral characteristics consistent with autism and educational evaluation records. Despite documented characteristics consistent with autism, only 72% of the sample received educational services under autism eligibility. To characterize children without autism eligibility, hierarchical logistic regression was used to evaluate factors documented in evaluation records predicting the absence of autism eligibility. Factors influencing autism eligibility included behavioral characteristics documented, evaluation components completed, intellectual ability, and clinical diagnoses present. There was no unique contribution of race/ethnicity in predicting the absence of autism eligibility when accounting for these previous predictors, but many of these predictors differed by racial/ethnic group. Disproportionality in autism may be the manifestation of inequitable evaluation experiences, including experiencing less comprehensive evaluations, and not receiving an autism specific assessment. Though race/ethnicity did not uniquely contribute to the absence of autism eligibility above and beyond those combined factors, it is important to evaluate and reduce inequities experienced within the autism identification process for populations who are culturally and linguistically minoritized.

    Abstract Topic modelling with innovative deep learning methods has gained interest for a wide range of applications that includes COVID-19. Topic modelling can provide, psychological, social and cultural insights for understanding human behaviour in extreme events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we use prominent deep learning-based language models for COVID-19 topic modelling taking into account data from emergence (Alpha) to the Omicron variant. We apply topic modeling to review the public behaviour across the first, second and third waves based on Twitter dataset from India. Our results show that the topics extracted for the subsequent waves had certain overlapping themes such as covers governance, vaccination, and pandemic management while novel issues aroused in political, social and economic situation during COVID-19 pandemic. We also found a strong correlation of the major topics qualitatively to news media prevalent at the respective time period. Hence, our framework has the potential to capture major issues arising during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic which can be extended to other countries and regions.

    Abstract The dentistry specialty known as periodontology focuses on problems with the tissues that support and surround teeth. A thorough understanding of basic sciences and health care is necessary for periodontology. To ensure that the dentition has adequate form, function, esthetics, and comfort, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the relationship between periodontal tissues and how it relates to other branches of dentistry, such as restorative dentistry, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and implants. The periodontal ligament is a soft tissue between the alveolar bone and teeth. Since the alveolar bone is the foundation for successful dental treatment, proceeding with subsequent dental procedures, including restorative dentistry, implants, and prosthetic uses, is only possible with sufficient bone support. The current review article aims to assess the perception of undergraduate students regarding periodontics and its range of practice. It also gives a general overview of the field of periodontology by outlining current practices, exploring how students perceive this branch's range of courses, and emphasizing more recent and sophisticated developments.
