Chemical Interactions at the Interface of Au on BiSe Topological Insulator.

This study explores the intricate chemical processes at the interface between the topological insulator BiSe and deposited Au. The study mainly focused on room-temperature interactions that can cause the aging of, e.g.

Implementation of the WHO standards to assess the quality of care for children with acute diarrhoea: findings of a multicentre study (CHOICE) in Italy.

Background: There is no documented experience in the use of the WHO standards for improving the quality of care (QOC) for children at the facility level. We describe the use of 10 prioritised WHO-Standard-based Quality Measures to assess QOC for children with acute diarrhoea (AD) in Italy.

Methods: In a multicentre observational study in 11 paediatric emergency departments with different characteristics and geographical location, we collected data on 3061 children aged 6 months to 15 years with AD and no complications.

Giant Rashba-splitting of one-dimensional metallic states in Bi dimer lines on InAs(100).

Bismuth produces different types of ordered superstructures on the InAs(100) surface, depending on the growth procedure and coverage. The (2 × 1) phase forms at completion of one Bi monolayer and consists of a uniformly oriented array of parallel lines of Bi dimers. Scanning tunneling and core level spectroscopies demonstrate its metallic character, in contrast with the semiconducting properties expected on the basis of the electron counting principle.

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA): Echocardiographic diagnosis in a critically ill newborn.

ARCAPA echocardiographic diagnosis. A network of small multiple coronary vessels, a systo-diastolic jet of flow into the pulmonary artery and a retrograde inverted «blue» flow into the RCA are the key signs. CT-scan confirms the diagnosis .

Spin-Dependent ππ^{*} Gap in Graphene on a Magnetic Substrate.

We present a detailed analysis of the electronic properties of graphene/Eu/Ni(111). By using angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we show that the intercalation of Eu in the graphene/Ni(111) interface gives rise to a gapped freestanding dispersion of the ππ^{*} Dirac cones at the K[over ¯] point with an additional lifting of the spin degeneracy due to the mixing of graphene and Eu states. The interaction with the magnetic substrate results in a large spin-dependent gap in the Dirac cones with a topological nature characterized by a large Berry curvature and a spin-polarized Van Hove singularity, whose closeness to the Fermi level gives rise to a polaronic band.
