While the microbiome is considered to play a significant role on the disease course, the impact of antibiotics is poorly understood. This study investigated the potential impact of different classes of antibiotics on the course of disease in IBD using the Danish National Patient Registry.

The central quantities, the longitudinal (T) and transverse (T) relaxation times were postulated to be equal, mirroring standard metals, but T has never been measured for graphite. Here, based on a detailed band structure calculation including spin-orbit coupling, we predict an unexpected behavior of the relaxation times.

Here we study its variant from ramping the environment temperature to a critical point. We find that the defect density scales as [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] for thermal or quantum critical points, respectively, in terms of the usual critical exponents and [Formula: see text] the speed of the drive.
