The dimension of a quantum state is traditionally seen as the number of superposed distinguishable states in a given basis. We propose an absolute, i.e.

Background: Knee arthroplasty procedures improve pain, function, stability, and appearance of the limb. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in severe, long-standing osteoarthritis (OA) with large medial tibial defects could be a challenge. This paper looks at TKA outcomes when large tibial defects are managed without metal wedges or stems.

: The current study explored the relationships of religiosity and coping behaviors on the perceived mental health of undergraduate African American (AA) college students enrolled at a large public university in the Southern United States. We used a cross-sectional survey design. AA and/or African descent adult college participants ( = 131) were recruited from an online chat group (ie, GroupMe) and completed the Brief-COPE, a demographic questionnaire, and a single-item mental health tool.

Article Synopsis
  • Identifying the handedness of chiral materials is a challenging task in biochemistry, but nanophotonic structures can enhance weak chiroptical responses to aid this detection.
  • This study looks into how silicon nanoparticles interact with a dielectric waveguide to sense the handedness of chiral substances by inducing polarization rotation in the wavefields.
  • The research provides theoretical and numerical evidence for different configurations that enable detecting left- or right-handed particles based on noticeable transmission differences.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research involved a meta-analysis of 87 studies, finding that 17.59% of BC patients had viral infections and identified significant associations with specific viruses like HPV and EBV.
  • * Though the exact mechanisms are not yet clear, the study suggests that certain viral infections could be risk factors for BC due to their impact on cellular processes in bladder tissue.
