We establish the topological s-cobordism surgery sequence for any closed oriented 4-manifold X homotopy equivalent to a connected sum X1# · · ·#Xn such that each topological 4-manifold Xi has fundamental group Γi of class SA. As a corollary, given Γi in a subclass ECS, if Γi is torsionfree and π2(Xi)⊗ Z2 = 0 (e.g. Xi aspherical), then X is topologically s-rigid. An application is an s-fibering ...

Methods A total of 123 patients who had baseline whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scans and underwent NACT followed by surgery for oesophageal cancer were included. Morphometric parameters including skeletal muscle density (SMD), skeletal muscle index, FM, FFM, FMR, VA/SA were measured and were correlated to clinical parameters, surgical findings and pathological chemotherapy response. The factors con...

Cascade transitions of rare earth ions involved in infrared host fiber provide the potential to generate dual or multiple wavelength lasing at mid-infrared region. In addition, the fast development of saturable absorber (SA) towards the long wavelengths motivates the realization of passively switched mid-infrared pulsed lasers. In this work, by combing the above two techniques, a new phenomenon...
