Discordance Between Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index Domain Weights and Their Association With Organ Damage Accrual

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Studies of damage accrual in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) show associations with disease activity measured by the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI‐2K), but these associations are imperfect. SLEDAI scores are powerfully influenced by weightings (1–8) assigned to each domain.

Dynamics of the Bloch point in an asymmetric permalloy disk

Nature Communications, 2019
The intrinsic nature and dynamics of a Bloch point has not been verified so far. Here, Im et al. report the realization and dynamical character of steady-state Bloch points in the magnetic vortex cores in asymmetrically shaped Ni80Fe20 nanodisks.

X-Ray Optics for X-Ray Laser Research Applications

Short Wavelength Coherent Radiation: Generation and Applications, 1988
State of the art capabilities in soft x-ray lenses, multilayer mirrors, beamsplitters, and synthetically generated holograms are reviewed. Application of these capabilities in recent x-ray laser cavity experiments, and to the development of a soft x-ray interferometer and a high intensity (≳1013 watt/cm2) soft x-ray laser are discussed.

Thermodynamic Pathways of Nonequilibrium Solidification in Wire‐Arc Additive Manufacturing Fe‐Based Multicomponent Alloy Structures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Geometry‐driven thermal behavior in wire‐arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) influences microstructural evolution during nonequilibrium solidification of a chemically complex Fe–Cr–Nb–W–Mo–C nanocomposite system. By comparing different deposits configurations, distinct entropy–cooling rate correlations, segregation, and carbide evolution are revealed ...
