Aspects of irregular punctures via holography
We present new families of AdS 5 solutions in M-theory preserving 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetry. We perform a systematic analysis of holographic observables for these solutions, providing evidence for an interpretation in terms of 4d ...

Charting Class ${\cal S}_k$ Territory [PDF]
We extend the investigation of the recently introduced class ${\cal S}_k$ of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs, by considering a large family of quiver gauge theories within it, which we denote $\mathcal{S}^1_k$.

Local Anesthesia in Neonatal Lumbar Puncture
The success rate of lumbar punctures was compared in neonates allocated prospectively to 0.2 to 0.5 mL of 1% lidocaine anesthesia (n=48) or a control group (n=52) in a study at the Albany Medical College of Union University, Albany, New York.

Analytic Continuation of Black Hole Entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
We define the analytic continuation of the number of black hole microstates in Loop Quantum Gravity to complex values of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter $\gamma$.

Farrell cohomology of low genus pure mapping class groups with punctures
In this paper, we calculate the p-torsion of the Farrell cohomology for low genus pure mapping class groups with punctures, where p is an odd prime. Here, `low genus' means g=1,2,3; and `pure mapping class groups with punctures' means the mapping class ...

Mirrors of 3d Sicilian theories [PDF]
We consider the compactification of the 6d N=(2,0) theories, or equivalently of M-theory 5-branes, on a punctured Riemann surface times a circle. This gives rise to what we call 3d N=4 Sicilian theories, and we find that their mirror theories are star ...

Background Independent Algebraic Structures in Closed String Field Theory [PDF]
We construct a Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra on moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. This algebra is background independent in that it makes no reference to a state space of a conformal field theory.

Robot-Assisted 2D Fluoroscopic Needle Placement—A Phantom Study
Rationale and Objectives: To evaluate the targeting accuracy of a novel robot-assisted guidance technique relying on one pair of 2D C-arm images. Material and Methods: In total, 160 punctures were carried out semi-automatically by using a novel robotic ...

Quantum Liouville Theory On The Riemann Sphere With $n>3$ Punctures
We have studied the quantum Liouville theory on the Riemann sphere with n>3 punctures. While considering the theory on the Riemann surfaces with n=4 punctures, the quantum theory near an arbitrary but fixed puncture can be obtained via canonical ...

Revision of the South African endemic bee genus Redivivoides Michener, 1981 (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Melittidae) [PDF]
The South African endemic bee genus Redivivoides Michener, 1981 is revised and redefined. The genus comprises seven species, six of which are described here as new: Redivivoides capensis sp. nov. ♀♂, R. eardleyi sp. nov. ♀, R. kamieskroonensis sp. nov. ♀,
