Abstract
Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models without relying on the absolute energy calibration, and apply it to events with primary energy 6-16 EeV (E_{CM}=110-170 TeV), whose longitudinal development and lateral distribution were simultaneously measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The average hadronic shower is 1.33±0.16 (1.61±0.21) times larger than predicted using the leading LHC-tuned models EPOS-LHC (QGSJetII-04), with a corresponding excess of muons.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The German medical licensing regulations, as amended by the government in 2002, now require the assessment of clinical skills in undergraduate medical education. As a result, the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was introduced as an assessment tool in many medical schools. This article provides a detailed inventory of the current application of the OSCE assessment in Germany. METHODS From June to September 2015, the implementation of the OSCE in all 36 German medical schools was investigated using semi-structured telephone interviews and email correspondence. The areas of focus comprised implementation of the OSCE, and number and type of performance records according to the medical licensing regulations or involved disciplines. Following collection, data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. RESULTS All medical schools (100%) participated in the survey. Nearly every school (94%) has introduced the OSCE into its assessment portfolio, however, to varying extents. For each location, the numbers range between 0 and 18 (M=4.7) performance records of the clinical science section assessed by OSCEs. The implementation of this assessment format includes most of the clinical performance records, but more than half (51.4%) of these cover surgery, internal medicine, emergency medicine, anaesthesiology, and orthopaedics. CONCLUSION The results reported in this paper confirm the widespread introduction of the OSCE assessment in German medical schools. However, the implementation remains heterogeneous with respect to the scope, schools and individual disciplines involved in the process. In order to ensure extensive clinical competence of prospective physicians the application of the OSCE should be broadened. For this purpose, further information to convince medical school staff is still required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) assessed using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H MRS) has a high pathological specificity for axonal density. Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) measured by using optical coherence tomography is increasingly used as a surrogate marker of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). Our aim was to investigate the relation between RNFLT and NAA/creatine in brain normal-appearing white matter (NAWM), their dynamics over time and the association with clinical outcome measures in relapsing MS. T2 WM lesions served as control tissue. METHODS Forty-three MS patients underwent standardized neurological examination including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) score, optical coherence tomography and magnetic resonance imaging including 1 H MRS at baseline and after 1 year. RESULTS At baseline, NAA/creatine level was lower in T2 WM lesions than in NAWM (1.64 ± 0.16 vs. 1.88 ± 0.24, P < 0.001). Lowest levels were found in secondary progressive MS (SPMS). Mean RNFLT was higher in clinically isolated syndrome than in the combined group of relapsing-remitting MS and SPMS (99.8 ± 12.3 μm vs. 92.4 ± 12.8 μm, P = 0.038). In all patients, mean RNFLT decreased by 1.4% during follow-up. At baseline, MSFC z-scores correlated with NAA/creatine levels both in NAWM (r = 0.42; P = 0.008) and T2 WM lesions (r = 0.52, P = 0.004). NAWM NAA/creatine variation correlated with the RNFLT change over 1 year (ρ = 0.43, P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS N-acetyl aspartate/creatine level reduction correlated with RNFLT thinning over 1 year in an EDSS stable MS cohort suggesting that these techniques might be sensitive to detect subclinical disease progression.

Abstract
Following an idea by Joyner et al. [Europhys. Lett. 107, 50004 (2014)], a microwave graph with an antiunitary symmetry T obeying T^{2}=-1 is realized. The Kramers doublets expected for such systems are clearly identified and can be lifted by a perturbation which breaks the antiunitary symmetry. The observed spectral level spacings distribution of the Kramers doublets is in agreement with the predictions from the Gaussian symplectic ensemble expected for chaotic systems with such a symmetry.

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
BACKGROUND Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has seen considerable new developments in its evolution to a platform for rectal and sigmoid resection, but to date no true single NOTES procedure has been convincing. This study investigates the safety and feasibility of a further developed transanal NOTES platform for single-access NOTES rectosigmoid resection. METHODS Ten large female pigs, mean weight 99.3 kg [standard deviation (SD) 7 kg, range 85.1-112.6 kg], underwent transanal rectosigmoid resection. Five animals were included in an acute study group with immediate postoperative euthanization. A second group included five animals in a survival study. Transanal rectosigmoid resections were performed with an elongated and curved transanal endoscopic operation (TEO) device. Coloanal anastomosis was performed using the transanal circular stapler technique. Survival follow-up was at 7 and 28 days via colonoscopy under sedation. RESULTS Single-access NOTES transanal rectosigmoid resection with coloanal anastomosis was performed in nine out of ten female pigs. Mean length of rectosigmoid specimens exteriorized was 18.7 cm (SD 2.9 cm, range 14-23 cm). Mean operating time was 124 min (SD 35.7 min, range 70-166 min). Within the survival group, no complications occurred during the monitoring phase. In one case, there was ascites and colitis at necropsy as well as fibrosis at the anastomosis site. CONCLUSIONS Pure transanal rectosigmoid resection is a feasible procedure. The approach via a single transanal access is demanding but viable with the elongated and curved TEO device. The newly developed scope offers an excellent view of the area cephalad to the promontory.

Abstract
Chimerism associated with placental sharing in marmosets has been traditionally analysed using conventional chromosome staining on metaphase spreads or polymerase chain reaction. However, the former technique requires the presence of proliferating cells, whereas the latter may be associated with possible blood cell contamination. Therefore, we aimed to develop a single-cell analysis technique for sexing marmoset cells. We applied fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) to cell nuclei using differentially labelled X and Y chromosome-specific probes. Herein we present the validation of this method in metaphase cells from a marmoset lymphoblastoid cell line, as well as application of the method for evaluation of cross-sex chimerism in interphase blood lymphocytes and haematopoietic bone marrow cells from marmosets of same- and mixed-sex litters. The results show conclusively that haematopoietic cells of bone marrow and leucocytes from blood are cross-sex chimeric when the litter is mixed sex. In addition, single samples of liver and spleen cell suspensions from one individual were tested. Cross-sex chimerism was observed in the spleen but not in liver cells. We conclude that FISH is the method of choice to identify cross-sex chimerism, especially when combined with morphological identification of nuclei of different cell types, which will allow a targeted tissue-specific analysis.

Abstract
We investigated properties of an (In(x)Ga(1-x))2O3 thin film with laterally varying cation composition that was realized by a large-area offset pulsed laser deposition approach. Within a two inch diameter thin film, the composition varies between 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.85, and three crystallographic phases (cubic, hexagonal, and monoclinic) were identified. We observed a correlation between characteristic parameters of Schottky barrier diodes fabricated on the thin film and its chemical and structural material properties. The highest Schottky barriers and rectification of the diodes were found for low indium contents. The thermal stability of the diodes is also best for Ga-rich parts of the sample. Conversely, the series resistance is lowest for large In content. Overall, the (In(x)Ga(1-x))2O3 alloy is well-suited for potential applications such as solar-blind photodetectors with a tunable absorption edge.

Abstract
To compare clock test deficits in elderly patients with early onset depression (EOD) and late onset depression (LOD), we assessed 32 elderly healthy controls (HCs), 26 patients with EOD, and 27 patients with LOD with the clock drawing test (CDT), clock setting test, clock reading test, and the Tübingen Clock Questionnaire testing semantic memory about clock times. There was no significant difference in depression severity between patients with EOD and LOD. Patients with LOD had significantly lower scores on the CDT than patients with EOD and HCs. Semantic memory impairment concerning minute hand functionality was highly correlated with CDT performance and was significantly different between the EOD and the LOD groups. It can be suggested that significant differences in cognitive impairment severity between patients with EOD and LOD can be detected with CDT. Semantic memory impairment concerning minute hand functionality might affect CDT test results in elderly patients with depression.
