Abstract
We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8±0.7(stat)±6.7(syst) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from state-of-the-art first-principles calculations shows agreement with our measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of asthma on the quality of life (QoL) of patients hospitalized for an exacerbation of the disease and those with controlled asthma receiving outpatient treatment, and to establish the patients' somatic status and the level of health care utilization. This study involved 239 adults with asthma (123 hospitalized patients and 116 outpatients of family physicians). The authors used: WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and a questionnaire measuring health care utilization. There were no differences in QoL levels between the patients with severe and controlled asthma. The psychological domain was assessed higher by hospitalized patients (p = 0.02). QoL levels correlated negatively with age, place of residence, and marital status, and positively with education. The general QoL level was most strongly influenced by gender, age, education, the number of home visits and interventions of a district nurse, and the somatic index (p < 0.05). Somatic symptoms were more severe in hospitalized patients. The QoL assessment of asthma patients in relation to somatic symptoms, health care services and socio-demographic variables allows better understanding of the complex health situation of patients at various stages of the disease, and tailoring the therapy to individual needs. Patients receiving outpatient treatment require professional psychotherapeutic support.

Abstract
High-level OVOS (optimized virtual orbital space) CCSD(T) interaction energy calculations (up to the aug-cc-pVQZ basis set) and various extrapolations toward the complete basis set (CBS) limit are presented for the most important structures on the benzene dimer potential energy surface. The geometries of these structures were obtained via an all-coordinate gradient geometry optimization using the DFT-D/BLYP method, covering the empirical dispersion correction fitted exclusively for this system. The fit was carried out against two estimated CCSD(T)/CBS potential energy curves corresponding to the distance variation between two benzene rings for the parallel-displaced (PD) and T-shaped (T) structures. The effect of the connected quadruple excitations on the interaction energy was estimated using the CCSD(TQf) method in a 6-31G*(0.25) basis set, destabilizing the T and T-shaped tilted (TT) structures by ≈0.02 kcal/mol and the PD structure by ≈0.04 kcal/mol. Our best CCSD(T)/CBS results show, within the error bars of the applied methodology, that the energetically lowest-lying structure is the TT structure, which is nearly 0.1 kcal/mol more stable than the almost isoenergetic PD and T structures. The specifically parametrized DFT-D/BLYP method leads to a correct energy ordering of the structures, with the errors being smaller by 0.2 kcal/mol with respect to the most accurate CCSD(T) values.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a life-threatening complication among heart transplant recipients and a major cause of early mortality. Although the pathogenesis of PGD is still unclear, ischemia/reperfusion injury has been identified as a predominant factor. Both necrosis and apoptosis contribute to the loss of cardiomyocytes during ischemia/reperfusion injury, and this loss of cells can ultimately lead to PGD. The aim of our prospective study was to find out whether cell death, necrosis and apoptosis markers present in the donor myocardium can predict PGD. The prospective study involved 64 consecutive patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation at our institute between September 2010 and January 2013. High-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) as a marker of minor myocardial necrosis was detected from arterial blood samples before the donor's pericardium was opened. Apoptosis (caspase-3, active + pro-caspase-3, bcl-2, TUNEL) was assessed from bioptic samples taken from the right ventricle prior graft harvesting. In our study, 14 % of transplant recipients developed PGD classified according to the standardized definition proposed by the ISHLT Working Group. We did not find differences between the groups in regard to hs-cTnT serum levels. The mean hs-cTnT value for the PGD group was 57.4+/-22.9 ng/l, compared to 68.4+/-10.8 ng/l in the group without PGD. The presence and severity of apoptosis in grafted hearts did not differ between grafts without PGD and hearts that subsequently developed PGD. In conclusion, our findings did not demonstrate any association between measured myocardial cell death, necrosis or apoptosis markers in donor myocardium and PGD in allograft recipients. More detailed investigations of cell death signaling pathways in transplanted hearts are required.

Abstract
We explore dipole polarizabilities of the singly and doubly charged anions F(-), Cl(-), O(2-), and S(2-) in an external, harmonic oscillator (HO) confining potential ∑(i)½ω(2)r(i)(2). We find that in contrast to F(-) and Cl(-) those for O(2-) and S(2-) are unrealistically high due to the instability of the corresponding restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) solutions. Yet, already a relatively weak HO confining potential stabilizes their RHF solutions and eliminates any possible broken-symmetry solutions. The coupled-cluster theory with single, double and noniterative triple excitations (CCSD(T)) then yields considerably reduced polarizabilities for O(2-) and S(2-) relative to their unconfined values. We showed that polarizabilities of O(2-) and S(2-) are more sensitive to the strength of a confinement potential than are those for F(-) and Cl(-). This enables us to relate the confining parameter ω with the known experimental polarizabilities for selected crystals (our "training set") and to find a specific confining parameter ω for which the CCSD(T) polarizability equals the experimental in-crystal polarizability of an anion in the training set. The latter may then be used as an alternative approach for determining the in-crystal polarizabilities of anions by exploiting the fact that the characteristic ω values depend linearly on the ionic radius of a cation participating in specific crystals containing these anions. Using this method we then calculate the isotropic dipole polarizabilities for F(-), Cl(-), O(2-), and S(2-) embedded in the LiF, LiCl, NaF, NaCl, KF, KCl, ZnO, ZnS, MgO, MgS, CaO, CaS, SrO, SrS, BaO, BaS, and other crystals containing halogen, oxygen, or sulphur anions. We compare our results with those obtained via alternative models of the in-crystal anionic polarizabilities.

Abstract
Energy-dependent patterns in the arrival directions of cosmic rays are searched for using data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We investigate local regions around the highest-energy cosmic rays with [Formula: see text] eV by analyzing cosmic rays with energies above [Formula: see text] eV arriving within an angular separation of approximately 15[Formula: see text]. We characterize the energy distributions inside these regions by two independent methods, one searching for angular dependence of energy-energy correlations and one searching for collimation of energy along the local system of principal axes of the energy distribution. No significant patterns are found with this analysis. The comparison of these measurements with astrophysical scenarios can therefore be used to obtain constraints on related model parameters such as strength of cosmic-ray deflection and density of point sources.

Abstract
New data on the polarization observables T, P, and H for the reaction γp→pπ(0) are reported. The results are extracted from azimuthal asymmetries when a transversely polarized butanol target and a linearly polarized photon beam are used. The data were taken at the Bonn electron stretcher accelerator ELSA using the CBELSA/TAPS detector. These and earlier data are used to perform a truncated energy-independent partial wave analysis in sliced-energy bins. This energy-independent analysis is compared to the results from energy-dependent partial wave analyses.

Abstract
The first measurement of the helicity dependence of the photoproduction cross section of single neutral pions off protons is reported for photon energies from 600 to 2300 MeV, covering nearly the full solid angle. The data are compared to predictions from the SAID, MAID, and BnGa partial wave analyses. Strikingly large differences between data and predictions are observed, which are traced to differences in the helicity amplitudes of well-known and established resonances. Precise values for the helicity amplitudes of several resonances are reported.
