The group delay time was theoretically studied in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) in the presence of strain. The Hartman effect, where the delay time for tunneling through a barrier tends to a constant for large barrier thickness, can be observed in WSMs when the incident angles [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and the unidirectional strain tensor u and shear strain tensor u , are larger than some critical values. We show that the Hartman effect is strongly dependent on the strength of the unidirectional strain tensor u and the ratio of the shear strain tensor [Formula: see text]. We also found that tensile and compressive strains have different effects on the group delay time and the transmission probability T in WSMs. Our study shows the possibility of modulating the group delay time and the Hartman effect in strained WSMs.

Circadian Misalignment Impacts Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in Adolescence.

Sleep

January 2025

Sleep Research & Treatment Center, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health, Penn State University, College of Medicine, Hershey PA, USA.

Study Objectives: Although heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM), is known to predict cardiovascular morbidity, the circadian timing of sleep (CTS) is also involved in autonomic modulation. We examined whether circadian misalignment is associated with blunted HRV in adolescents as a function of entrainment to school or on-breaks.

Methods: We evaluated 360 subjects from the Penn State Child Cohort (median 16y) who had at least 3-night at-home actigraphy (ACT), in-lab 9-h polysomnography (PSG) and 24-h Holter-monitoring heart rate variability (HRV) data.

Venetoclax plus azacitidine represents a key advance for older, unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The chemotherapy and venetoclax in elderly AML trial (CAVEAT) was first to combine venetoclax with intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed patients ≥65 years. In this final analysis, 85 patients (median age 71 years) were followed for a median of 41.

Average Time-Delays for the Scattering of O Atoms from O Molecules.

We report full quantum-computed average microcanonical, initial state-specific, and canonical cumulative time-delays associated with the O + O scattering, presented as a function of total energy (in relation to an idealized molecular beam experiment) or temperature (for the properties of the gas phase in bulk conditions). We show that these quantities are well-defined and computable, with a temperature-dependent (canonical) time-delay presenting a smooth, monotonic decreasing behavior with temperature, despite an energy-dependent (microcanonical) time-delay of apparent chaotic character. We discuss differences in behavior when considering isotopic variations, O + OO and O + OO, with respect to the reference process O + OO and reveal a greater magnitude of the cumulative time-delay when genuinely reactive events can take place, in the presence of O.
