Here, we present a frequency tuning mechanism for microwave cavities designed for axion dark matter searches and show that it provides a range of at least 200 MHz for the fundamental mode TM010 resonant at ∼10 GHz. The apparatus is based on a clamshell cavity, with the two semi-cells held together at a fixed joint while the other side opens to tune the frequency of the resonant modes. Measurements of the cavity frequencies and quality factor were taken at liquid helium temperature as the aperture was increased incrementally to ∼2°.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to translate the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool into German (CPAx-GE) and assess its validity and reliability for critically ill patients.
  • A thorough translation process and expert consultations were conducted, and the CPAx-GE showed excellent validity and high interrater reliability across various assessment points.
  • The results suggest that the CPAx-GE is a reliable tool for measuring physical function in critically ill, mechanically ventilated adults in German-speaking regions, making it suitable for use in early rehabilitation efforts.

Background: Primary care physicians (PCPs) play a key role regarding vaccination in France. The aims of the present study were to define the scoring rules and to assess the measurement properties of the 'Determinants of Intentions to Vaccinate' (DIVA) questionnaire that aims to assess PCPs' attitudes and beliefs toward vaccination.

Methods: The DIVA questionnaire was derived from a literature review and PCPs focus groups.

Objectives: Vaccination is an effective way to reduce morbidity and mortality related to infectious diseases. In France, primary care physicians are the main administrators of vaccines. Our objective was to conduct an exploratory qualitative study with primary care physicians to identify determinants of their commitment to vaccination.
