TAVI Using a Self-Expandable Device for Aortic Regurgitation Following LVAD Implantation
Authors: Sarwari Harun , Schaefer Andreas , Barten Markus J. , Conradi Lenard 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background In patients treated by left ventricular assist device (LVAD), aortic regurgitation (AR) may occur. Secondary surgery to correct AR is considered high risk.
Case Description We report a case of severe AR following LVAD implantation in a patient who was subsequently treated by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the latest generation self-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) (Boston Scientific Acurate neo, size M [Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States]). TAVI followed modified procedural protocol and sizing algorithm. THV implantation without prior balloon aortic valvuloplasty resulted in an adequate valve function without leakage.
Conclusion This THV may be particularly well suited for TAVI subsequent to LVAD implantation if modified sizing and deployment considerations are appreciated.

AbstractThe main purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis comparing functional outcomes of total knee arthroplasty using either computer navigation (NAV-TKA) or conventional methods (CON-TKA) from the latest assemblage of evidence. This study was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. All Level I and II randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane that compared functional outcomes after NAV- and CON-TKA were included in the review. Selected end points for random effects, pairwise meta-analysis included Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), KS Function Score (KSFS), KS Total Score (KSTS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and range of motion at three arbitrary follow-up times. A total of 24 prospective RCTs comprising 3,778 knees were included from the initial search. At long-term follow-up (>5 years), NAV-TKA exhibited significantly better raw KSKS (p = 0.001) (low-quality evidence), contrary to CON-TKA, which reflected significantly better raw KSTS (p = 0.004) (high-quality evidence). While change scores (KSKS, WOMAC) from preoperative values favor CON-TKA at short-term (<6 months) and medium-term follow-up (6–60 months), long-term follow-up change scores in KSKS suggest the superiority of NAV-TKA over CON-TKA (p = 0.02) (very low-quality evidence). Overall, sizeable dispersion of nonstatistically significant functional outcomes in the medium term was observed to eventually converge in the long term, with less differences in functional outcome scores between the two treatment methods in short- and long-term follow-up. While raw functional outcome scores reflect no differences between NAV and CON-TKA, long-term follow-up change scores in KSKS suggest superiority of NAV-TKA over its conventional counterpart. Prospective studies with larger power are required to support the pattern of diminishing differences in functional outcome scores from medium- to long-term follow-up between the two modalities.

AbstractPeripheral nerve blocks such as a femoral + sciatic block have demonstrated significant pain relief following TKA. However, these nerve blocks have residual motor deficits which prevent immediate postoperative ambulation. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes in patients undergoing primary TKA with femoral and sciatic (Fem + Sci) motor nerve blocks versus an adductor canal and the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee and adductor canal block (IPACK + ACB) sensory nerve blocks. A total of 100 consecutive patients were reviewed, 50 received Fem + Sci nerve blocks and 50 received IPACK + ACB blocks preoperatively. There were no differences in the two groups with respect to surgical technique, implant type, postoperative pain, and physical therapy protocols. Differences in opioid requirements, length of stay (LOS), distance walked, and common knee scoring systems were analyzed. Among them, 62% IPACK + ACB patients were discharged on postoperative day 1 compared with 14% in the Fem + Sci group (p < 0.0001). The IPACK + ACB patients had a shorter LOS (mean 1.48 days vs. 2.02 days, p < 0.001), ambulated further on postoperative day 0 (mean 21.4 feet vs. 5.3 feet, p < 0.001), and required less narcotics the day after surgery (mean, 15.7 vs. 24.0 morphine equivalents p < 0.0001) and at 2 weeks (mean, 6.2 vs. 9.3 morphine equivalents, p = 0.025). The use of this combination IPACK and ACB demonstrated improved early ambulation with a decrease in opioid use and length of stay compared with a femoral and sciatic motor nerve block in patients undergoing primary TKA.

Significance
Semiconducting polymers and small molecules have promising applications in organic optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, which typically consist of a disordered mixture of donor and acceptor materials. The performance of these devices is determined by the properties of the donor/acceptor interface. While the donor/acceptor interface is often studied by operating the solar cell device as a light-emitting diode, resulting in charge-transfer electroluminescence, the currently prevailing description of electroluminescence is not quantitative and is often inconsistent with experiments. We present an experimentally verified and quantitative model of charge-transfer electroluminescence at donor/acceptor interfaces that reconciles the inconsistencies present in the literature. Our model simultaneously and quantitatively accounts for energetic disorder and molecular vibrations governing charge transport and luminescence in organic semiconductors.
Posture verbs combined with past participles in Dutch
Authors: Bogaards Maarten 
Published: November 2019

AbstractDutch uses cardinal posture verbs (zitten‘to sit’,staan‘to stand’, andliggen‘to lie’) for all sorts of purposes, many of which have received considerable research attention – like the posture progressive, e.g.zitten te lezen‘lit. sit to read: to be reading’. This paper investigates a posture verb pattern in which a posture verb is combined with a past participle, e.g.zitten verstopt‘lit. sit hidden: to be hidden’. Previous analyses disagree on whether these patterns correspond to a fixed set of combinations, or to a productive schema with semantic restrictions. By examining over 6,000 attestations of the pattern, this paper evaluates these competing accounts, concluding that the data point strongly at productivity.
On the idiomatic nature of unproductive morphology
Authors: Clercq Karen De , Wyngaerd Guido Vanden 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
We present a case study in the marking of the negative prefix in
French gradable adjectives, where the productive marker iN-
alternates with a number of unproductive prefixes, like dé(s)-, dis-,
mal-, mé(s)-. We treat this as a classical case of allomorphy, and
present an account of the distribution of these allomorphs in terms of the nanosyntactic mechanism
of pointers, by which lexical items may point to other, existing, lexical items
in the postsyntactic lexicon. We claim that unproductive lexical items are not
directly accessible for the spellout mechanism, but only indirectly, via
pointers. We show how the analysis accounts for lexicalised semantics in
derivations, as well as cases where the formal relationship between derivational
pairs is not concatenative, but substitutive.
The Perfect in dialogue
Authors: Bruyn Bert Le , van der Klis Martijn , de Swart Henriëtte 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
We investigate the use of the perfect in dialogue in Dutch and – for comparison – report on data from
Dutch narrative discourse as well as on data from both registers in English. Our approach is corpus-based with data drawn from
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and its translation to Dutch. Our data reveal that the Dutch
perfect is sensitive to the dialogue/narrative discourse distinction and competes with the past in dialogue
along the event/state distinction. This is in line with earlier findings by Boogaart
(1999) and de Swart (2007) and lays the foundation for an analysis of the
perfect in which we bridge the gap between the English/dialogue oriented literature (Portner 2003; Nishiyama & Koenig 2010) and the
variationist/narrative discourse oriented literature (de Swart 2007; Schaden 2009).

Authors: Zhang Leticia Tian , Cassany Daniel 
Published: November 2019

Resumen
Documentamos y analizamos una comunidad china de fansub, que traduce y subtitula series y
películas hispanas, explorando los recursos y estrategias que se utilizan para comprender y transcribir del español y traducir al
chino. Con etnografía virtual (Hine, 2000), combinando observación participante,
entrevistas en profundidad y análisis de contenido, los resultados describen una comunidad jerárquica, con normas que regulan los
procesos colaborativos de escritura y traducción, que incluyen el uso de estrategias multimodales sofisticadas (empleo creativo de
recursos técnicos, lingüísticos y webs, prácticas de translanguaging). La comunidad también desarrolla sus
propios criterios sobre lo que es una buena traducción, con roles y actitudes de aprendices serios ante los errores cometidos.
Dichas prácticas ejemplifican otras características relevantes de las comunidades digitales (productividad fan, mediación
cultural, traducción audiovisual y amateur) y ofrecen recursos interesantes para aplicar a la enseñanza formal de
L2.
Translation, culture and politics

Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article analyzes the election slogans of Hong Kong chief executives and the titles of their policy addresses
since Hong Kong’s handover to mainland China in 1997, from the point of view of translation methods, cultural implications and
reader responses. It finds that literal translation dominates in the translation of election slogans and policy address titles,
that translated slogans and titles portray Hong Kong as a collectivist society with low power distance, and that choices between
domestication and foreignization are dependent upon individual chief executives (or nominees). The article discusses the growing
importance of the role of readers and proposes an inductive framework of interactive responses to represent the reality of
political translation in the new era brought about by digitalization.
Committed emissions and the risk of stranded assets from power plants in Latin America and the Caribbean
Authors: González-Mahecha Esperanza , Lecuyer Oskar , Hallack Michelle , Bazilian Morgan , Vogt-Schilb Adrien 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has the least carbon-intensive electricity sector of any region in the world, as hydropower remains the largest source of electricity. But are current plans consistent with the international climate change goals laid out in the Paris Agreement? In this paper, we assess committed CO2 emissions from existing and planned power plants in LAC. Those are the carbon emissions that would result from the operation of fossil-fueled power plants during their typical lifetime. Committed emissions from existing power plants are close to 6.9 Gt of CO2. Building and operating all power plants that are announced, authorized, being procured, or under construction would result in 6.7 Gt of CO2 of additional commitments (for a total of 13.6 Gt of CO2). Committed emissions are above average IPCC assessments of cumulative emissions from power generation in LAC consistent with international temperature targets. To meet average carbon budgets from IPCC, 10%–16% of existing fossil-fueled power plants would need to be closed before the end of their technical lifespan. Our results suggest that building more fossil-fueled power plants in the region could jeopardize the achievement of the Paris Agreement temperature targets.
Leading source and constraint on the systematic spread of the changes in East Asian and western North Pacific summer monsoon
Authors: Zhou Shijie , Huang Ping , Huang Gang , Hu Kaiming 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
With ongoing global warming, the changes in EA-WNPSM rainfall—feeding over two billion people in East Asia and the Indochina Peninsula—projected by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models show remarkable and unidentified inter-model spread. Here, we reveal the leading inter-model spread of EA-WNPSM changes in 28 CMIP5 models is related to a ‘dry north–wet south’ dipole in East Asia and a wet Indochina and WNP. This spread pattern of EA-WNPSM changes is induced by the spread of sea surface temperature changes in the equatorial western Pacific, and can be further traced back to an apparent discrepancy among the state-of-the-art models in simulating the tropical Pacific rainfall. An air-sea coupling processes involved with summer background circulation contribute to this robust spread pattern of EA-WNPSM changes. We can constrain the EA-WNPSM rainfall changes based on the current-future relationship and observation that there should be more rainfall increase in North China and the Korean Peninsula and less increase in South China, the Indochina Peninsula and WNP, relative to previous multi-model ensemble projections.

Authors: Zhuang Wenxian , Zhu Lixiang 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Although rainwater collection can alleviate water shortages in seasonally water-deficient area, the water’s sanitary condition is usually very poor. By 4 factors 3 levels orthogonal experiment, this paper studied the coupling effects of temperature, nutrient, suspended solids and total phosphorus on the bacteria content of storage water, and analyzed their variance and regression. The mechanism of how environmental factors affected storage water’s quality were explored, and a binary first-order linear correlation equation of bacterial content with temperature and nutrients was established. The research results can provide reference for the safe utilization of storage water in water-deficient area.
Analysis of Test Method for Oil and Water Relative Permeability Curve in Tight Reservoirs
Authors: Liwen Bo , Fuquan Song , Shiming Zhang 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
With the development of the international economy, the global demand for oil and gas resources has continued to increase in recent years. The development of high-permeability reservoirs has reached the middle and late stages, and resources are depleting. With the large-scale successful exploitation of tight oils in North America, low-permeability tight reservoirs have gradually become the main object of development. Compared with conventional reservoirs, tight reservoirs mainly develop nano- scale pore systems. It causes poor reservoir properties, high interlayer heterogeneity, low porosity and permeability, and generally no natural productivity in reservoirs. In tight reservoirs, the flow of oil-water phases is not affected by the scale, but also the wettability, they make the oil and water phases seepage more complicated. In this paper, the natural core of a tight reservoir in Daqing was selected. Experiments were carried out using two experimental methods: steady-state method and non-steady-state method. The characteristics of oil and water phases percolation in tight reservoirs were analyzed. The results by comparing the two experimental methods showed the steady state method is suitable for measuring the oil and water relative permeability curve of tight reservoirs.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Traffic noise pollution is a widespread public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Quickly and effectively evaluating the quality of an urban acoustic environment is an important challenge for urban planning and management. Noise map is an important tool for traffic noise management. For large area, the design of measuring point distribution is the key to improve the accuracy of regional noise map drawing. In this study, the roads in the study area are classified firstly, and the research area is divided into 11 small areas according to the division method of acoustic environment functional area, then the mathematical model of the sound pressure attenuation of the point acoustic source is established according to the propagation rule of the point acoustic source. The measured point data of traffic noise are taken as point acoustic source, the distribution rule of traffic noise acoustic source field in 2-D space is inverted by using Kriging interpolation method. After repeated verification, the interpolation accuracy of prediction whose 5-6 measuring points are set in each area to be measured can meet the requirements. The purpose of reducing the observation point and improving the accuracy of prediction is achieved.
Validation of the Hypothesis on Water Environmental Capacity of Yinghe River under Different Design Hydrological Conditions
Authors: Xiang Long , Jiao Lihong , Xiaoling MU , Fangqin YU 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The water environmental capacity (WEC) in northern rivers has obvious temporal dynamic characteristics because of the seasonal change, so the calculated WEC under a single hydrological designed condition cannot reflect these changes. In this paper, one-dimensional WEC model is used to calculate the pollutant carrying capacity under three different design hydrological conditions of the Yinghe River, which belongs to Yellow River Basin. The results show that: The COD and NH3-N capacity under the staging design condition are increased 7.15% and 9.75% compared with the conventional method; the COD and NH3-N capacity of average monthly flow condition are increased 4.89% and 6.35% compared with the conventional methods; the calculation of the stage design condition is closed to the average monthly flow condition, the COD and NH3-N capacity are increased only 2.14% and 3.20% respectively. Comparing the calculation results under different design hydrological conditions, it is found that the results under the conditions of considering the dynamic characteristics can reflect the actual change law of WEC more accurately and effectively. This research has a guiding significance for realizing the total distribution and seasonal utilization of WEC in the Yinghe River.
Numerical study of the effect of inner guide vanes on performance of multi-blade centrifugal fan of range hood
Authors: Zhao Dongfang , Chen Ruoning , You Xue-yi 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper focus on the effect of inner guide vanes on the aerodynamic performance of multi-blade centrifugal fan (MCF) used to range hood. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the RNG k-ε turbulence model are discretized and solved by Fluent. A detailed comparison of dimensionless characteristic coefficients of flow, pressure and power, between the origin MCF and the MCF with inner guide vanes is conducted for a full exhaust condition. The results suggest that the MCF with inner guide vanes perform better in terms of both flow and pressure coefficient. The exhaust airflow rate increases by 6.4% at working condition of No. 6, and there is a best efficiency point for the MCF with inner guide vanes at flow and pressure coefficient of 0.25 and 1.05, respectively. By comparing the flow field between the origin MCF and the MCF with inner guide vanes, it is found that the inner guide vanes effectively reduce flow loss near volute tongue areas.
