Tattoo ink exposure is associated with lymphoma and skin cancers – a Danish study of twins - BMC Public Health
Background We aim to study the potential association between tattoo ink exposure and development of certain types of cancers in the recently established Danish Twin Tattoo Cohort. Tattoo ink is known to transfer from skin to blood and accumulate in regional lymph nodes. We are concerned that tattoo ink induces inflammation at the deposit site, leading to chronic inflammation and increasing risk of abnormal cell proliferation, especially skin cancer and lymphoma. Methods We conducted two designs…

Bridging Fitness With Search Spaces By Fitness Supremums: A Theoretical Study on LGP
Genetic programming has undergone rapid development in recent years. However, theoretical studies of genetic programming are far behind. One of the major obstacles to theoretical studies is the challenge of developing a model to describe the relationship between fitness values and program genotypes. In this paper, we take linear genetic programming (LGP) as an example to study the fitness-to-genotype relationship. We find that the fitness expectation increases with fitness supremum over instruc…

Nicolas Jaar's "Piedras" is brilliant. A great start to a nice weather weekend, god morgen!

High-Efficiency Plasma-Based Compressor for Ultrafast Soft X-ray Free-Electron Lasers
The generation of intense, femtosecond-scale X-ray pulses is crucial for probing matter under extreme temporal and field conditions. Current chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) techniques in free-electron lasers (FELs), however, face efficiency limitations in the soft X-ray regime due to the inherent constraints of conventional optical compressors. To address this challenge, we propose a high-efficiency plasma-based compressor utilizing highly ionized noble gas plasma. Exploiting strong refractiv…
