Objective:
To determine the proportion of hospitals that implemented 6 leading practices in their antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs). Design: Cross-sectional observational survey.
Setting:Acute-care hospitals.
Participants:ASP leaders.
Methods:Advance letters and electronic questionnaires were initiated February 2020. Primary outcomes were percentage of hospitals that (1) implemented facility-specific treatment guidelines (FSTG); (2) performed interactive prospective audit and feedback (PAF) either face-to-face or by telephone; (3) optimized diagnostic testing; (4) measured antibiotic utilization; (5) measured C. difficile infection (CDI); and (6) measured adherence to FSTGs.
Results:Of 948 hospitals invited, 288 (30.4%) completed the questionnaire. Among them, 82 (28.5%) had <99 beds, 162 (56.3%) had 100–399 beds, and 44 (15.2%) had ≥400+ beds. Also, 230 (79.9%) were healthcare system members. Moreover, 161 hospitals (54.8%) reported implementing FSTGs; 214 (72.4%) performed interactive PAF; 105 (34.9%) implemented procedures to optimize diagnostic testing; 235 (79.8%) measured antibiotic utilization; 258 (88.2%) measured CDI; and 110 (37.1%) measured FSTG adherence. Small hospitals performed less interactive PAF (61.0%; P = .0018). Small and nonsystem hospitals were less likely to optimize diagnostic testing: 25.2% (P = .030) and 21.0% (P = .0077), respectively. Small hospitals were less likely to measure antibiotic utilization (67.8%; P = .0010) and CDI (80.3%; P = .0038). Nonsystem hospitals were less likely to implement FSTGs (34.3%; P < .001).
Conclusions:Significant variation exists in the adoption of ASP leading practices. A minority of hospitals have taken action to optimize diagnostic testing and measure adherence to FSTGs. Additional efforts are needed to expand adoption of leading practices across all acute-care hospitals with the greatest need in smaller hospitals.

Over the last 25 years, radiowave detection of neutrino-generated signals, using cold polar ice as the neutrino target, has emerged as perhaps the most promising technique for detection of extragalactic ultra-high energy neutrinos (corresponding to neutrino energies in excess of 0.01 Joules, or 1017 electron volts). During the summer of 2021 and in tandem with the initial deployment of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G), we conducted radioglaciological measurements at Summit Station, Greenland to refine our understanding of the ice target. We report the result of one such measurement, the radio-frequency electric field attenuation length $L_\alpha$. We find an approximately linear dependence of $L_\alpha$ on frequency with the best fit of the average field attenuation for the upper 1500 m of ice: $\langle L_\alpha \rangle = ( ( 1154 \pm 121) - ( 0.81 \pm 0.14) \, ( \nu /{\rm MHz}) ) \,{\rm m}$ for frequencies ν ∈ [145 − 350] MHz.

To renew their innovation and creativity practices, companies are now equipping themselves with new specific places: innovation laboratories. These laboratories support project teams during creativity sessions to generate ideas. In order to improve these practices, it is necessary to be able to assess and compare the different sessions organised. By joining the Clean Mobility Lab of Faurecia, we were able to analyse, observe and participate in creativity sessions. This immersion allowed us to develop an assessment grid of forty-eight indicators covering the entire creativity process.

Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influenced by the presence of tides, which depend on the neutron star equation of state. Neutron star mergers are expected to often produce rapidly rotating remnant neutron stars that emit gravitational waves. These will provide clues to the extremely hot post-merger environment. This signature of nuclear matter in gravitational waves contains most information in the 2–4 kHz frequency band, which is outside of the most sensitive band of current detectors. We present the design concept and science case for a Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory (NEMO): a gravitational-wave interferometer optimised to study nuclear physics with merging neutron stars. The concept uses high-circulating laser power, quantum squeezing, and a detector topology specifically designed to achieve the high-frequency sensitivity necessary to probe nuclear matter using gravitational waves. Above 1 kHz, the proposed strain sensitivity is comparable to full third-generation detectors at a fraction of the cost. Such sensitivity changes expected event rates for detection of post-merger remnants from approximately one per few decades with two A+ detectors to a few per year and potentially allow for the first gravitational-wave observations of supernovae, isolated neutron stars, and other exotica.

We describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. MeerKAT is a high-gain ( ${\sim}2.8\,\mbox{K Jy}^{-1}$ ) low-system temperature ( ${\sim}18\,\mbox{K at }20\,\mbox{cm}$ ) radio array that currently operates at 580–1 670 MHz and can produce tied-array beams suitable for pulsar observations. This paper presents results from the MeerTime Large Survey Project and commissioning tests with PTUSE. Highlights include observations of the double pulsar $\mbox{J}0737{-}3039\mbox{A}$ , pulse profiles from 34 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from a single 2.5-h observation of the Globular cluster Terzan 5, the rotation measure of Ter5O, a 420-sigma giant pulse from the Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar PSR $\mbox{J}0540{-}6919$ , and nulling identified in the slow pulsar PSR J0633–2015. One of the key design specifications for MeerKAT was absolute timing errors of less than 5 ns using their novel precise time system. Our timing of two bright MSPs confirm that MeerKAT delivers exceptional timing. PSR $\mbox{J}2241{-}5236$ exhibits a jitter limit of $<4\,\mbox{ns h}^{-1}$ whilst timing of PSR $\mbox{J}1909{-}3744$ over almost 11 months yields an rms residual of 66 ns with only 4 min integrations. Our results confirm that the MeerKAT is an exceptional pulsar telescope. The array can be split into four separate sub-arrays to time over 1 000 pulsars per day and the future deployment of S-band (1 750–3 500 MHz) receivers will further enhance its capabilities.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) from uteroplacental dysfunction causes impaired nephrogenesis and ultimately hypertension, but it is unknown whether IUGR caused by insufficient space for placental development seen in uterine anomalies and/or multifetal gestation exerts the same effects. Fetal renal development and metabolism were studied in an ovine space-restriction model by combining unilateral horn surgical ligation and/or multifetal gestation. Reduced placental attachment sites and placental weight per fetus defined space-restricted (USR) v. control nonrestricted (NSR) fetuses. Space-restricted fetuses exhibited evidence for decreased plasma volume, with higher hematocrit and plasma albumin at gestational day (GD) 120, followed by lower blood pO2, and higher osmolarity and creatinine at GD130, P < 0.05 for all. By combining treatments, fetal kidney weight relative to fetal weight was inversely related to both fetal weight and plasma creatinine levels, P < 0.05 for both. At GD130, space-restricted fetal kidney weights, cortical depths and glomerular generations were decreased, P < 0.05 for all. Space-restricted kidneys underwent an adaptive response by prolonging active nephrogenesis and increasing maculae densa number, P < 0.05 for both. The major renal adaptations in space-restricted IUGR fetuses included immaturity in both development and endocrine function, with evidence for impaired renal excretory function.

Summary
ABSTRACT
Small, isolated patches of tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) are found in many remote islands of the Pacific region (Oceania). French Polynesia comprises 37 high volcanic islands and islets, all located at more than 5000 km from the nearest continents. TMCFs are found on 12 of them (Huahine, Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Tahiti in the Society Islands, Fatu Hiva, Hiva Oa, Nuku Hiva, Tahuata, Ua Huka, and Ua Pou in the Marquesas Islands, and Rapa in the Austral Islands), with a total area of up to 8000 ha. Their current individual extent ranges from less than 20 ha (Huahine, Rapa, Tahaa) to c. 1000 ha (Hiva Oa, Nuku Hiva) and more than 5000 ha (Tahiti), the other islands having less than 100–200 ha each. TMCFs are located between 300–400 m.a.s.l. and up to 1600–1800 m.a.s.l. (Tahiti), but are more often found above 800–900 m.a.s.l. They are generally located on the upper slopes of valleys, on high-elevation plateaux, and in gullies and ridges below the summits, with annual rainfall ranging between 3000 and 8500 mm. TMCFs are floristically the most diverse of all plant communities in French Polynesia, with the highest endemism and number of biological types. Between 60% (Moorea, Tahiti, and Rapa) and more than 70% (Raiatea, Hiva Oa, Ua Pou, and Ua Huka) of the endemic vascular plant species are found in the TMCFs, and between 25% (Moorea and Rapa) and 50% (Hiva Oa, Nuku Hiva, and Ua Pou) of these endemics are restricted to these habitats.

The science of extra-solar planets is one of the most rapidly changing areas of astrophysics and since 1995 the number of planets known has increased by almost two orders of magnitude. A combination of ground-based surveys and dedicated space missions has resulted in 560-plus planets being detected, and over 1200 that await confirmation. NASA's Kepler mission has opened up the possibility of discovering Earth-like planets in the habitable zone around some of the 100,000 stars it is surveying during its 3 to 4-year lifetime. The new ESA's Gaia mission is expected to discover thousands of new planets around stars within 200 parsecs of the Sun. The key challenge now is moving on from discovery, important though that remains, to characterisation: what are these planets actually like, and why are they as they are?
In the past ten years, we have learned how to obtain the first spectra of exoplanets using transit transmission and emission spectroscopy. With the high stability of Spitzer, Hubble, and large ground-based telescopes the spectra of bright close-in massive planets can be obtained and species like water vapour, methane, carbon monoxide and dioxide have been detected. With transit science came the first tangible remote sensing of these planetary bodies and so one can start to extrapolate from what has been learnt from Solar System probes to what one might plan to learn about their faraway siblings. As we learn more about the atmospheres, surfaces and near-surfaces of these remote bodies, we will begin to build up a clearer picture of their construction, history and suitability for life.
The Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory, EChO, will be the first dedicated mission to investigate the physics and chemistry of Exoplanetary Atmospheres. By characterising spectroscopically more bodies in different environments we will take detailed planetology out of the Solar System and into the Galaxy as a whole.
EChO has now been selected by the European Space Agency to be assessed as one of four M3 mission candidates.

Summary
Historically, the suggestion that dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons are involved in the latent inhibition (LI) phenomenon is linked to psychopharmacological studies carried out by two laboratories reporting an attenuation of LI responses in animals (rats) treated with the indirect DAergic agonist d-amphetamine, after chronic (Solomon, Crider, Winkelman et al.,1981; Weiner, Lubow & Feldon, 1981, 1984) or acute administration (Weiner, Lubow & Feldon, 1988). Involvement of DAergic neurons in LI was further supported by data showing that the LI attenuation induced by d-amphetamine was reversed by the concomitant administration of the neuroleptic chlorpromazine (Solomon et al., 1981), and by subsequent studies showing a facilitation of LI expression after administration of haloperidol (Weiner & Feldon, 1987; Weiner, Feldon & Katz, 1987), a well-known typical neuroleptic with a potent blockade action on DA receptors. Since these first studies, the reversal of the d-amphetamine-induced LI reduction by DAergic antagonists has been found in different LI paradigms after administration of several atypical neuroleptics, including olanzapine (Gosselin, Oberling & Di Scala, 1996) and clozapine (Trimble, Bell & King, 1998; Russig, Murphy & Feldon, 2002). In other respects, enhancement of LI expression has also been reported, with the atypical antipsychotics displaying a selective blockade action on D2 receptors such as sulpiride (Feldon & Weiner, 1991) or remoxipride (Trimble, Bell & King, 1997), whereas selective D1 antagonists were found to have no effect on LI phenomenon (Trimble, Bell & King, 2002).

Characterisation of genetic diversity in a large number of European pig populations has been undertaken with EC support. The populations sampled included local (rare) breeds, national varieties of the major international breeds, commercial lines and the Chinese Meishan breed. A second phase of the project will sample a further 50 Chinese breeds. Neutral genetic markers (AFLP and microsatellites), with individual or bulk typing, were used and compared.
DNA from 59 European pig populations was extracted on samples of about 50 individuals per population. Individuals were typed for 50 microsatellites and for 148 AFLP bands. A subset of 25 populations was typed for 20 microsatellites on pools of DNA. Allele frequencies were estimated by direct allele counting for the co-dominant markers. Frequencies of AFLP negative alleles (absent bands) were obtained by taking the square root of absent band frequencies. Within-breed variability was summarised using standard statistics: expected and observed heterozygosity, mean observed and effective numbers of alleles, and F statistics. Between-breed diversity analysis was based on a bootstrapped Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree derived from Reynolds distances (DR). The standard distance of Nei (DS) was also calculated.

We report artificially atomic-scale ordered superlattice alloy systems, new scheme to pursue high-ZT materials. We have fabricated Bi/Sb superlattice alloys that are artificially ordered on the atomic scale using MBE, confirmed by the presence of XRD superlattice satellites. We have observed that the electronic structure can be modified from semimetal, through zero-gap, to semiconductor by changing the superlattice period and sublayer thicknesses using electrical resistivity, thermopower, and magneto-transport measurements. InSb/Bi superlattice alloys have also been prepared and studied using XRD and thermopower measurements, which shows that their thermoelectric transport properties can be modified in accordance with structural modification. This superlattice alloy scheme gives us one more tool to control and tune the electronic structure and consequently the thermoelectric properties.

Aluminum acetylacetonate and water vapor were used to deposit an amorphous A1203 seal coating on Si and CeO2-stabilized ZrO2 (CSZ) produced by air plasma spray. The A1203 coating prepared at ∼500°C was ∼2.5μm thick, uniform, and non-porous. The crystallization and adhesion characteristics of the A1203 coating were examined by thermally annealing the A12 03- coated Si and CSZ substrates in air. The amorphous coating crystallized to metastable A1203 phases within 20 hours at temperatures as low as 700°C. The coating on Si spalled upon annealing whereas the coating on CSZ did not spall, but microcracked extensively due to the significant volume shrinkage associated with crystallization.

We have grown Bi1-xSbx alloy thin films on CdTe(111)B over a wide range of Sb concentrations (0≤x≤0.183) using MBE. We have observed several differences with the bulk system. The 3.5 and 5.1% Sb alloys show semiconducting behavior, and the Sb concentration with the maximum bandgap is shifted to a lower Sb concentration, from 15% in bulk to 9%. The power factor S2/ρ (where S is thermoelectric power(TEP) and ρ electrical resistivity) peaks at a significantly higher temperature (250K) than previously reported for the bulk alloy (80K). The magnetotransport properties of Bi1-x,Sbx thin films (x = 0, 0.09, and 0.16) and Bi/CdTe superlattices have been determined by applying the Quantitative Mobility Spectrum Analysis (QMSA) and multicarrier fitting to the magneticfield- dependent resistivities and Hall coefficients, using algorithms which account for the strong anisotropy of the mobilities. The calculated S values are in good agreement with experimental results. The structural stability of bulk Bi is studied using the local density linear muffin-tin orbital method. It is shown that the internal displacement changes the Bi electronic structure from a metal to a semimetal, in qualitative agreement with a Jones-Peierls-type transition. The total energy is calculated to have a double well dependence on the internal displacement, and to provide a stabilization of the trigonal phase. We show that an increase of the trigonal shear angle leads to a semimetal-semiconductor transition in Bi.

All the lenses, deflectors and stigmators of contemporary electron microscopes are controlled digitally by an internal computer. Control through RS232 serial interface by an external computer has also become a standard feature. This external control has made so-called computer assisted electron microscopy (CAEM) possible and practical. We are developing a CAEM system with two objectives: (1) to free inexperienced microscopists from technical details of operating an electron microscope, especially transmission electron microscopes (TEM); (2) to assist experienced microscopists to operate their microscopes with higher accuracy and efficiency. The features include automated and/or assisted standard operations in focusing, stigmating, and aligning the microscope, and also sophisticated tuning that requires the evaluation of subtle changes in image features such as aligning the incident electron beam direction in the presence of 3-fold astigmatism in objective lens. CAEM can further assist operators in selecting areas or objects and taking images/diffraction/energy spectrum with all the parameters well controlled and catalogued together, thus not only enabling ease-of-use and high accuracy in operation but also yielding more information on the specimen.
