    The Comment [J. T. Firouzjaee, preceding Comment, Phys. Rev. D 89, 068301 (2014)] raises two points in regard to our paper [S. K. Modak and D. Singleton, Phys. Rev. D 86, 123515 (2012)]. The first is that one cannot use the tunneling picture to obtain the temperature and particle production rate in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker space-time. The second comment raised by Firouzjaee is that the Hawking-like radiation model for inflation presented in [Modak and Singleton; S. K. Modak and D. Singleton, Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 21, 1242020 (2012)] is inconsistent with the observed scalar and tensor perturbation spectrum. We show that the first comment is beside the point-we do not use the tunneling method in our papers [Modak and Singleton; Modak and Singleton]. The second criticism by Firouzjaee comes from the author evaluating quantities at different times-he evaluates the parameters of our model at the beginning of inflation and then compares this with the scalar and tensor perturbations evaluated at the horizon exit point.From Physical Review D, Vol.89(6), 68302, available online: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.89.068302.

    Breath biomarkers for personalized medicine

    No full text
    Personalized medicine, in the near future, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by allowing physicians to individualize therapy for patients through the early diagnosis of disease and risk assessment to optimize clinical response with minimal toxicity. The identification of biomarkers could detect, diagnose and help guide therapy to improve survival and quality of life by the early identification of responders to the drugs. Volatile organic compounds and stable isotope-labeled13CO2in breath can be uniquely utilized as in vivo diagnostic biomarkers of disease and/or lack of enzyme activity to aid physicians to personalize medication. Noninvasive detection of ailments and monitoring therapy by human breath analysis is an emerging field of medical diagnostics representing a rapid, economic and simple alternative to standard invasive blood analysis, endoscopy or harmful imaging techniques such as x-ray and CT scans.</jats:p

Funded by SCOAP3.We consider a scenario in which an extra bottom Yukawa coupling can drive electroweak baryogenesis in the general two-Higgs doublet model. It is found that the new bottom Yukawa coupling with O(0.1) in magnitude can generate the sufficient baryon asymmetry without conflicting existing data. We point out that future measurements of the bottom Yukawa coupling at High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider and International Linear Collider, together with the CP asymmetry of B→Xsγ at SuperKEKB provide exquisite probes for this scenario11Nsciescopu
