Machine-guided discovery of a real-world rogue wave model.

Big data and large-scale machine learning have had a profound impact on science and engineering, particularly in fields focused on forecasting and prediction. Yet, it is still not clear how we can use the superior pattern-matching abilities of machine learning models for scientific discovery. This is because the goals of machine learning and science are generally not aligned.

Photobiomodulation for Chemotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis in Pediatric Patients.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect in patients undergoing chemotherapy (CT), especially in children due to their rapid epithelial mitotic rate. It has been associated with a significant reduction in life quality since it leads to pain, an inadequate intake of nutrients, an increased risk of opportunistic infections, and interruptions of CT. Photobiomodulation (PMB) with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has shown faster healing, reduction in pain, and the reduced use of analgesic compared to placebo groups.

The evolution of carbapenem resistance determinants and major epidemiological lineages among carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Germany, 2010-2019.

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the molecular epidemiology and carbapenem resistance determinants in clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected during four multicentre surveillance studies conducted by the Paul-Ehrlich-Society for Infection Therapy. Isolates were collected prospectively from hospital in-patients at 17 medical centres in Germany over four periods of three- to six-months starting in October of each of 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF, gyrB multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and detection of the intrinsic bla gene.

Field-induced transition within the superconducting state of CeRhAs.

Materials with multiple superconducting phases are rare. Here, we report the discovery of two-phase unconventional superconductivity in CeRhAs Using thermodynamic probes, we establish that the superconducting critical field of its high-field phase is as high as 14 tesla, even though the transition temperature is only 0.26 kelvin.

The h-index is no longer an effective correlate of scientific reputation.

The impact of individual scientists is commonly quantified using citation-based measures. The most common such measure is the h-index. A scientist's h-index affects hiring, promotion, and funding decisions, and thus shapes the progress of science.
