Published: April 2020

AbstractDaytime radiative cooling offers efficient passive cooling of objects by tailoring their spectral responses, holding great promise for green photonics applications. A specular reflector has been utilized in cooling devices to minimize sunlight absorption, but such a glaring surface is visually less appealing, thus undesirable for public use. Here, by exploiting strong diffuse reflection of silica nanoshells in a polymer matrix, daytime radiative cooling below the ambient temperature is experimentally demonstrated, while showing whitish color under sunlight. The cooling device consists of a poly(methyl methacrylate) layer with randomly distributed silica nanoshells and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer on an Ag mirror. The non-resonant nanoshells exhibit uniform diffuse reflection over the solar spectrum, while fully transparent for a selective thermal radiation from the underneath PDMS layer. In the temperature measurement under the sunlight irradiation, the device shows 2.3 °C cooler than the ambient, which is comparable to or even better than the conventional device without the nanoshells. Our approach provides a simple yet powerful nanophotonic structure for realizing a scalable and practical daytime radiative cooling device without a glaring reflective surface.

AbstractNeuroblastoma (NB) is a paediatric cancer that arises in the sympathetic nervous system. Patients with stage 4 tumours have poor outcomes and 20% of high-risk cases have MYCN amplification. The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play roles in sympathetic neuritogenesis, by signalling through bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR)2 and either BMPR1A or BMPR1B. Alterations in BMPR2 expression have been reported in NB; it is unknown if the expression of BMPR1A or BMPR1B is altered. We report lower BMPR2 and BMPR1B, and higher BMPR1A, expression in stage 4 and in MYCN-amplified NB. Kaplan–Meier plots showed that high BMPR2 or BMPR1B expression was linked to better survival, while high BMPR1A was linked to worse survival. Gene ontology enrichment and pathway analyses revealed that BMPR2 and BMPR1B co-expressed genes were enriched in those associated with NB differentiation. BMPR1A co-expressed genes were enriched in those associated with cell proliferation. Moreover, the correlation between BMPR2 and BMPR1A was strengthened, while the correlation between BMPR2 and BMPR1B was lost, in MYCN-amplified NB. This suggested that differentiation should decrease BMPR1A and increase BMPR1B expression. In agreement, nerve growth factor treatment of cultured sympathetic neurons decreased Bmpr1a expression and increased Bmpr1b expression. Overexpression of dominant negative BMPR1B, treatment with a BMPR1B inhibitor and treatment with GDF5, which signals via BMPR1B, showed that BMPR1B signalling is required for optimal neuritogenesis in NB cells, suggesting that loss of BMPR1B may alter neuritogenesis. The present study shows that expression of distinct BMPRs is associated with different survival outcomes in NB.
Update on the Treatment of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma in Patients
with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2
Authors: Ilanchezhian Maran , Khan Sophia , Okafor Christian , Glod John , Del Rivero Jaydira 
Published: April 2020

AbstractMedullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine cancer that accounts
for 1–2% of thyroid cancers in the United States (U.S.). While
most cases are sporadic, 25% of MTC cases are hereditary. These
hereditary cases occur in the setting of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A
(MEN2A) or 2B (MEN2B) driven by mutations in the Rearranged during
Transfection RET proto-oncogene. This article discusses hereditary MTC
in the setting of MEN2 and the treatment options available for it. The first
line treatment for this disease is typically a total thyroidectomy and tyrosine
kinase inhibitors. Two tyrosine kinase inhibitors, vandetanib and cabozantinib,
have been approved for treatment of advanced MTC, but options beyond those are
limited. However, several promising treatments are being studied, which are
discussed in this review.
(Re)shaping the constructional network
Authors: Gyselinck Emmeline 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This paper takes a dynamic perspective on
constructional networks by investigating which factors play a role
in the architecture of the network and how its internal structure
may be reorganized over time. It starts from the idea that the
network hierarchy is constantly being reconfigured: new
generalizations may give rise to new subschemas, and existing
subschemas can move up to a higher level or, conversely, subschemas
may marginalize and eventually disappear completely. Such network
shifts typically involve changes in schematicity (viz. the level of
abstractness) and/or productivity (viz. the extensibility of the
(sub)schema). An ideal candidate to investigate these productivity
shifts and internal reorganizations is the Dutch intensifying fake
reflexive resultative construction. In present-day Dutch, the
network of this construction displays an intriguing combination of
subschemas at different levels of abstraction, displaying varying
degrees of productivity, as well as conventionalized or even
fossilized micro-constructions. Tracing back the recent history of
this construction, the paper aims to show how mechanisms like
schematization and conventionalization work together in creating the
constructicon’s network structure, and how certain constructional
changes can be (re)interpreted as shifts within the constructional
network. It will be discussed what new insights can be gained from
such a network approach and which further steps may be taken to
further flesh out the theory on constructional networks.
L2 learning and the frequency and quality of written
languaging
Authors: Ishikawa Masako , Révész Andrea 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The study investigated the effects of
written languaging (WL) on second language (L2) learning and
the extent to which the frequency and quality of WL are
related to L2 development. It employed a
pretest-posttest-delayed posttest design, with participants
assigned to a +WL, −WL and control group. The treatment
involved the completion of an individual written dictogloss
task, after which the +WL had the opportunity to engage in
WL. The −WL only did the task. We found a beneficial impact
of WL on L2 development overall, and positive links between
L2 learning and the frequency and quality of WL.
Effects of written languaging in response to direct and
indirect corrective feedback on developing writing
accuracy
Authors: Moradian Mahmood Reza , Hossein-Nasab Mojgan , Miri Mowla 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This study examined effects of written
corrective feedback (WCF) followed by languaging on
grammatical accuracy in new writing tasks. Two homogeneous
EFL (English as a foreign language) classes were randomly
assigned to direct (n = 15) and indirect
(n = 15) feedback groups. After
receiving feedback, participants languaged about the reasons
for the errors in their writing. Their written explanations
were coded as written languaging episodes (WLEs). Results
revealed that the indirect group generated more unexplained
WLEs than the direct group. However, both groups made
significant gains in accuracy from the pre-test to the
post-test with no significant differences observed between
the two groups.
Exploring the mediating role of emotions expressed in L2
written languaging in ESL learner text revisions
Authors: Simard Daphnée , Zuniga Michael 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Little is known about the relationship
between second language use and written languaging (e.g.,
Ishikawa &
Suzuki, 2016; Suzuki, 2012). The few studies that have
investigated the question highlight difficulties in
understanding how to correct errors following written
corrective feedback (e.g., Simard, Guénette, & Bergeron,
2015; Suzuki,
2012). Following the broaden-and-build theory,
(Fredrickson,
2001), we hypothesized that emotions expressed in
the written languaging of high school ESL learners
(n = 42) produced immediately after
receiving their corrected text would be related to text
revision successfulness (i.e., correct revision of an
incorrect form). Our results show that emotions expressed in
the written languaging are not only associated with error
rates but also positive emotions predict higher rates of
successful revision.
Blunders and (un)intentional offence in Shakespeare
Authors: Kizelbach Urszula 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Neither literary nor linguistic investigations seem
to offer a clear pragmatic description of blunder. Blunders in social
communication are popularly associated with gaffes, which are incidental
offences that could have been avoided if the speaker had foreseen their
offensive or perplexing consequences. It has been claimed (Wierzbicka 2003) that errors and
blunders are mostly committed when speakers venture into “unsafe territory”
(2003: 283), which makes it
easier to make a serious mistake or to embarrass the interlocutor by not
taking enough care or not thinking enough. Blunders in Early Modern
literature, however, have never been pragmatically analysed even though they
form a distinctive linguistic feature of some Shakespearean characters’
speech. This chapter analyses the linguistic behaviour of two comedy
characters from Shakespeare’s plays, Mistress Quickly and Falstaff, with
special emphasis on the effects of their blunders and how blunders affect
both the speaker and the hearer. The aim of the chapter is twofold. First, I
try to provide a pragmatic definition of blunder in relation to speech act
theory and intentionality and explain how blunders are pragmatically
different from gaffes. Next, I describe the perlocutionary effects of
blunders based on the examples of Shakespeare characters’ speech and
demonstrate how blunders can be employed as a means of literary
characterisation.
“This Demon Anger”
Authors: Kukorelly Erzsi 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This chapter examines the representation and
correction of anger in conduct books written for young women in
eighteenth-century Britain. An introductory section places the admonition
against anger in the context of John Locke’s and Lord Shaftesbury’s
discussions of, respectively, rational conduct and polite sociability. Then,
I succinctly identify ideal womanly conduct as emanating from three main
sources: self-control in body and mind, obedience coupled with rationality,
and a consciousness of the world that produces self-consciousness and an
attendant desire to conform to social rules. Anger is then shown to break
with all three of these: an angry woman no longer controls her body and her
mind; she is both disobedient and irrational; and she disregards the
constant and critical gaze of society, thus risking loss of reputation.
Ultimately, anger hinders young women in what was their main objective,
attracting the best possible husband.
Synthesis of solvent-free conductive and flexible cellulose–carbon nanohorn sheets and their application as a water vapor sensor
Authors: Paneer Selvam Karthik , Nakagawa Tomohiro , Marui Tatsuki , Inoue Hirotaka , Nishikawa Takeshi , Hayashi Yasuhiko 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Carbon nanohorns (CNHs) are mixed with cellulose to make freestanding thin-film conductive sheets. CNHs, at different ratios (5, 10, 25, 50 wt%), form composites with cellulose (hydroxyethylcellulose). Freestanding cellulose–carbon nanohorn (CCN) sheets were fabricated using a 100 μm-thick metal bar coater. Surfactants or any other chemical treatments to tailor the surface properties of CNHs were avoided to obtain composite sheets from pristine CNHs and cellulose. Utilizing the hygroscopic property of hydroxyethylcellulose and the electrical conductivity of CNHs paved a path to perform this experiment. The synthesis technique is simple, and the fabrication and drying of the sheets were effortless. As the loading concentration of CNH increased, the resistance, flexibility, and strength of the CCN composite sheets decreased. The maximum loading concentration possible to obtain a freestanding CCN sheet is 50 wt%. The resistance of the maximum loading concentration of CNH was 53 kΩ. The response of the CCN sheets to water vapor was 4 s and recover time was 13 s, and it is feasible to obtain a response for different concentrations of water vapor. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, resistance measurement, tensile strength measurement, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to investigate the mechanical, morphological, electrical, and chemical properties of the CCN sheets.
Synthesis and characterization of novel transition metal complexes with L-Proline and their catalytic activity evaluation towards cyclohexane oxidation
Authors: Alrufaydi Zahrah A , Ahmed S Merajuddin , Mubarak Ahmed T 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Some of first row transition metals [M = Mn (II), Fe (II) and Co (II)] complexed with L-proline amino acid were synthesized by thermal heating and characterized by FT-IR, UV–visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM and TEM. The characterization data showed that the metal ions were bonded through N- and O-donor atoms of the amino acid. The metals-L-proline complexes exist in mixed particle sizes of amorphous and agglomerated nature. The prepared complexes were investigated to catalyze the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexane in the presence of TBHP as an oxidant. Iron-proline complex was found to be an excellent catalyst with high selectivity towards K/A oil under the optimized reaction conditions.
Tunable circular dichroism of chiral metamaterial based on phase transition of vanadium dioxide (VO2)
Authors: Gao Fan , Zhu Junwen , Ma Hongfeng , Li Kexue , Yuan Peicheng , Yan Bo 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The circular dichroism effect characterized by different optical responses between left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized lights is widely applied for biological monitoring, analytical chemistry, and plasmonic sensing. Despite the fact that circular dichroisms are achieved by many conventional chiral and anisotropic metamaterials, dynamic and efficient modulation of circular dichroisms is still challenging. In this paper, we demonstrate a VO2 embedded metamaterial enabling tunable chirality by taking advantages of the VO2 phase transitions between insulators and metals. Specifically, by changing the laser power and the irradiated position on the metamaterial, the VO2 phase transition takes place at the irradiated region and induces a tunable circular dichroism effect. This work provides a strategy for the active control and modulation of circular polarizations, which pays the way for applications in terahertz and microwave regions.
Dinitrogen fixation rates in the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation exerts an important control on oceanic primary production by providing bioavailable form of nitrogen (such as ammonium) to photosynthetic microorganisms. N2 fixation is dominant in nutrient poor and warm surface waters. The Bay of Bengal is one such region where no measurements of phototrophic N2 fixation rates exist. The surface water of the Bay of Bengal is generally nitrate-poor and warm due to prevailing stratification and thus, could favour N2 fixation. We commenced the first N2 fixation study in the photic zone of the Bay of Bengal using 15N2 gas tracer incubation experiment during summer monsoon 2018. We collected seawater samples from four depths (covering the mixed layer depth of up to 75 m) at eight stations. N2 fixation rates varied from 4 to 75 μmol N m−2 d−1. The contribution of N2 fixation to primary production was negligible (<1%). However, the upper bound of observed N2 fixation rates is higher than the rates measured in other oceanic regimes, such as the Eastern Tropical South Pacific, the Tropical Northwest Atlantic, and the Equatorial and Southern Indian Ocean.
Shear-induced crystallisation in binary colloidal suspensions investigated using confocal microscopy

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Hard sphere colloids crystallise at large volume fractions. However, crystallisation is suppressed in the presence of large polydispersities. We investigate the effect of polydispersity on shear-induced crystallisation using binary suspensions of hard spheres. Depending on the size ratio, the samples fully crystallise, partially crystallise or remain amorphous. Using confocal microscopy, the structural changes are characterised on a single particle level. This allows us to determine the local bond order parameter, the number of nearest neighbours, the Voronoi volume, the local volume fraction and other quantities. Upon the application of shear, only minor changes of these quantities are detected in regions that remain amorphous whereas noticeable changes are observed in regions where shear-induced crystallisation occurs. These changes mainly reduce the effects of the different particle sizes on the particle arrangement. This allows substitutionally disordered crystals to form. However, with increasing size disparity the volume fraction in substitutionally disordered crystals decreases while the volume fraction in amorphous regions slightly increases. Beyond a size ratio of 1.18, the volume fraction of the crystals is smaller than the volume fraction of the amorphous regions. At the same size ratio shear-induced crystallisation ceases. The terminal size ratio of 1.18 is close to the value given by the empirical Hume-Rothery rule for metallic alloys and the corresponding polydispersity (about 0.1) is consistent with the polydispersity beyond which crystallisation is found to be suppressed.
Debunking Eurocentrism in Organizational Communication Theory: Marginality and Liquidities in Postcolonial Contexts
Authors: Cruz Joëlle M , Sodeke Chigozirim Utah 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This article centers marginal organizational actors—the disenfranchised of the Global South—to remedy their theoretical erasure and disrupt the Anglo-American grand narrative of organizational communication. This task is urgent amidst discussions of decolonization and whiteness in the discipline. We reengage Western theory on liquidity, hereby conceptualized as shape-shifting and adaptive organizing, moving like a liquid at the margins. We draw on fieldworks in Nigeria and Liberia to unearth three properties of liquidity in postcolonial contexts: motion, solvency, and permeability. Motion refers to movement, solvency refers to the ability to dissolve into one's surroundings, and permeability refers to organizing that infiltrates life and vice versa. This article bears three theoretical contributions. First, it provides a blueprint to dislodge Eurocentric biases (Anglo-American) in organizational communication theory. Second, it models what decolonizing theory may look like. Finally, it provides more complex, nuanced, and inclusive theoretical accounts of liquidities in global landscapes.

Published: April 2020

AbstractBackgroundCisplatin-based chemotherapy may induce nephrotoxicity. This study presents a random forest predictive model that identifies testicular cancer patients at risk of nephrotoxicity before treatment.MethodsClinical data and DNA from saliva samples were collected for 433 patients. These were genotyped on Illumina HumanOmniExpressExome-8 v1.2 (964 193 markers). Clinical and genomics-based random forest models generated a risk score for each individual to develop nephrotoxicity defined as a 20% drop in isotopic glomerular filtration rate during chemotherapy. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was the primary measure to evaluate models. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were used to discuss model clinical utility.ResultsOf 433 patients assessed in this study, 26.8% developed nephrotoxicity after bleomycin-etoposide-cisplatin treatment. Genomic markers found to be associated with nephrotoxicity were located at NAT1, NAT2, and the intergenic region of CNTN6 and CNTN4. These, in addition to previously associated markers located at ERCC1, ERCC2, and SLC22A2, were found to improve predictions in a clinical feature–trained random forest model. Using only clinical data for training the model, an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.635 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.629 to 0.640) was obtained. Retraining the classifier by adding genomics markers increased performance to 0.731 (95% CI = 0.726 to 0.736) and 0.692 (95% CI = 0.688 to 0.696) on the holdout set.ConclusionsA clinical and genomics-based machine learning algorithm improved the ability to identify patients at risk of nephrotoxicity compared with using clinical variables alone. Novel genetics associations with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity were found for NAT1, NAT2, CNTN6, and CNTN4 that require replication in larger studies before application to clinical practice.
SMARCB1 Gene Mutation Predisposes to Earlier Development of Glioblastoma: A Case Report of Familial GBM

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive adult brain tumor. While GBM typically occurs sporadically, familial GBM can be associated with certain hereditary disorders and isolated familial GBMs in the absence of syndrome are rare. Relevant hereditary factors have remained elusive in these cases. Understanding specific genetic abnormality may potentially lead to better treatment strategies in these patients. Here, we analyzed GBM tissue from our patient and 2 afflicted family members, with next generation sequencing to better understand the genetic alterations associated with this disease development. DNA was extracted and sequenced and the data were then analyzed. Results revealed 2 common mutations in afflicted family members; PDGFRA and HRAS. In addition, both siblings showed a mutation of the SMARCB1 gene. The sister of our patient exhibited a homozygous mutation, while our patient had heterozygous mutation of this gene in the tumor tissue. This result suggests that mutation of SMARCB1, either alone or in the presence of PDGFRA and HRAS mutations, is associated with earlier onset GBM.
