On rigorous computational and numerical solutions for the voltages of the electrified transmission range with the day yet distance
Authors: Khater Mostafa M. A. , Hamed Y. S. , Lu Dianchen 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis research article aims to get superabundant wave solutions of the fractional nonlinear space–time telegraph via two computational schemes (modified Khater (MK) method and simplest equation (SE) method) through a new fractional operator (Atangana–Baleanu [AB] fractional derivative). These solutions are used to calculate the boundary and initial conditions that allow applying the B‐spline collection schemes for constructing the numerical solutions and absolute value of error between obtained exact and numerical solutions. On the other hand, the second goal of this research is to investigate the accuracy of used computational schemes and their constructed solutions, where the investigated model is one of the most attractive models for studying in the electrified transmission or electromagnetic waves. This model, which is used to illustrate as the electromagnetic waves do keep mirrored about the wire, or that suspense patterns perform exhibit along the line, describes the cutting‐edge or voltage of an electrified transmission range with the day yet distance. Oliver Heaviside formulated this model in 1880.
A formally second‐order backward differentiation formula Sinc‐collocation method for the Volterra integro‐differential equation with a weakly singular kernel based on the double exponential transformation

Published: December 2020

AbstractThis paper presents a formally second‐order backward differentiation formula (BDF2) Sinc‐collocation method for solving the Volterra integro‐differential equation with a weakly singular kernel. In the time direction, the time derivative is discretized via the BDF2 and the second‐order convolution quadrature rule is used to approximate the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral term. Then a fully discrete scheme is established via the Sinc approximation based on the double exponential transformation in space. The convergence and stability analysis are derived by the energy method. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method and it can be found that our scheme is super‐exponentially convergent in space and order 1 + α convergent in time with 0 < α < 1, respectively. Meanwhile, the numerical results based on the single exponential transformation are compared with the proposed method to illustrate the high accuracy of our method.

Abstract

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Over the past 2 decades, enormous advances have been made in the management of CAT. The growing evidence base informing practice has led to the publication of a number of guidelines and guidance documents on the diagnosis and treatment of CAT. The goal of this review is to examine the latest versions of evidence-based guidelines, highlighting the differences and similarities in their methodology, their disease-specific content, and recommendations for management. Our analysis shows that for most clinical topics, the different guidelines provide roughly similar management advice. However, there are a number of important clinical topics in CAT that are not currently covered by the existing guidelines. We think inclusion of these topics in future versions of the guidelines will facilitate ongoing efforts to optimize the care of patients with CAT.

Implications for Practice
Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a common complication in patients with cancer. This review examines the differences and similarities of the current CAT guidelines methods and recommendations. Current guidelines largely agree on many aspects of CAT management. However, there are a number of topics in CAT that are not currently included in guidelines where evidence-based guidance would be very helpful for clinicians. Coverage of these topics in future guidelines is encouraged to optimize clinical practice.

AbstractPhotovoltaic (PV) technology has the potential to be integrated on many surfaces in various environments, even on water. Modeling, design, and realization of a floating PV system have more challenges than conventional rooftop or freestanding PV system. In this work, we introduce two innovative concepts for floating bifacial PV systems, describing their modeling, design, and performance monitoring. The developed concepts are retractable and enable maximum energy production through tracking the Sun. Various floating PV systems (monofacial, bifacial with and without reflectors) with different tilts and tracking capabilities are installed on a Dutch pond and are being monitored. Results of the thermal study showed that partially soaking the frame of PV modules into water does not bring a considerable additional yield (+0.17%) and revealed that floating PV modules experience higher temperature special variance compared with land‐based systems. Observations showed that the birds' presence has a severe effect on floating PV performance in the short term. Electrical yield investigation concluded that due to low albedo of inland water areas (~6.5%), bifacial PV systems must have reflectors. One‐year monitoring showed that a bifacial PV system with reflector and horizontal tracking delivers ~17.3% more specific yield (up to 29% in a clear‐sky month) compared with a monofacial PV system installed on land. Ecological monitoring showed no discernable impacts on the water quality in weekly samplings but did show significant impacts on the aquatic plant biomass and periods of low oxygen concentrations.
Registration of ‘UC Southwest Red’ heirloom‐like red and white mottled bean
Authors: Parker Travis , Palkovic Antonia , Brummer E. Charles , Gepts Paul 
Published: December 2020

Abstract‘UC Southwest Red’ (Reg. no. CV‐334, PI 693472) is a line of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) descended from the cross ‘Zuni Gold’/UCD 9634. UC Southwest Red is intended to address the growing demand for heirloom‐type crop cultivars, which have high market value and a reputation for excellent aesthetic and culinary quality. This demand is strongest among smaller scale farmers seeking unique market opportunities. Many of these growers operate in the organic sector and have a particular interest in high‐yield, high‐market‐value N2–fixing legumes. Despite the demand for heirloom‐type cultivars, production of many of these, including the dry bean ‘Anasazi’, is hindered by poor agronomic qualities such as low yields and disease susceptibility. To this end, UC Southwest Red combines an heirloom‐like seed pattern similar to that of Anasazi with resistance to Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and yields 53% higher than those of the heirloom. Evaluations of flavor and cooked appearance demonstrate that it has comparable culinary quality to Anasazi. All on‐farm evaluations were conducted on certified organic ground. UC Southwest Red will help satisfy a growing consumer interest in heirloom‐like cultivars while maintaining the agronomic qualities demanded for efficient production.
Perception gaps that may explain the status of taro (Colocasia esculenta) as an “orphan crop”
Authors: Matthews Peter Joseph , Ghanem Michel Edmond 
Published: December 2020

Societal Impact StatementUsing Taro (Colocasia esculenta) as a case study, we examine how perception gaps contribute to negative feedback loops that create or maintain the orphan status of certain crops. For students and researchers seeking uncrowded areas for study, orphan crops and crop‐wild‐relatives offer large open spaces, figuratively and literally. Learning how to see what has not been seen may in turn help us to reduce our global dependence on very few crops, and the risks that follow from this. The combination of climate change and variability and increasing population has painted a dark picture of future food security for many regions in the world where resources are scarce. The key to future food and nutrition security may very well lie in unlocking the untapped potential of orphan and overlooked crops.SummaryThe present distribution of taro (Colocasia esculenta), as a cultivated food plant, extends from southern to northern Africa, western Asia to eastern Asia, throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, and through the Americas, from the USA to Brazil. Despite its vast geographical range, high nutritional value, and considerable trade as a fresh and processed crop, there has been relatively little interest in taro and its wild relatives among research funding agencies, and little effective or large‐scale assessment of production, trade and usage. Given the proven ability of this crop to grow under diverse climatic regimes, from the equatorial tropics to northern and southern temperate zones it may be useful to consider perception gaps that contribute to disregard of the crop. Here we suggest and discuss a range of perception gaps that together may explain the status of taro as an orphan crop. Perception gaps exist because of many factors: dogma, linguistic diversity, social biases, under‐research, limited physical visibility of living wild populations, poor archaeological visibility, missing production numbers and inaccurate distribution maps. These contributing factors are shared, to lesser or greater extent, by many other orphan crops, but the disjunction between actual utilization (significant) and research effort (minimal) may be greater for taro than for most other “orphans”.

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe European earwig, Forficula auricularia (L.) (Dermaptera: Forficulidae), is regarded as an important beneficial in many orchard environments but has the potential to be a plant pest in other systems, including to grain crops. Due to its agricultural importance, the lifecycle of F. auricularia has been widely studied in North America and Europe. However, much less is known in the southern hemisphere, including Australia where F. auricularia has been present for over 170 years.RESULTSTo elucidate the lifecycle of F. auricularia, we monitored five sites in grain‐growing areas of southern Australia using two different trap types. Adults were found year‐round, but most prevalent from late‐spring to mid‐winter. First instars were typically found from mid to late winter. Second, third and fourth instars occurred from winter through to late spring. The seasonal development of F. auricularia in Australia may be much earlier than observed in comparable North American studies. Degree day modelling highlights variation in development times across the active season for F. auricularia across our sites.CONCLUSIONForficula auricularia is well adapted to the Australian grain growing environments. The timing of egg hatching aligns closely with crop emergence, juveniles then develop alongside the crop, and adult development occurs by harvest time in late spring. These findings are important given that many of these crops (canola, lucerne, pulses) are vulnerable to attack by F. auricularia during emergence and development. They also suggest a phenotypic capacity of this species to adapt different phenology after introduction into a novel environment. © 2020 The Authors.

Simultaneous exhibition of positive and negative cooperativity by purelyCH⋯OH‐bonded (1,3‐cyclohexanedione)n(n= 2–6) clusters: A density functional theoretical investigation
Authors: Monu  , Oram Binod Kumar , Bandyopadhyay Biman 
Published: December 2020

AbstractInvestigation of cooperative effect exhibited by purely CH⋯O hydrogen bonded (H‐bonded) networks in linear and cyclic clusters of 1,3‐cyclohexanedione (up to hexamer) has been carried out using density functional theoretical calculations. Linear clusters were found to show anti‐cooperative behavior, while the cyclic clusters showed positive cooperativity. In all the studied clusters, the carbonyl groups were found to form bifurcated H‐bonds with two or three CH groups. The extent of cooperativity has been found to show monotonic behavior for both linear and cyclic clusters, both in terms of H‐bond strength and binding energies. Natural bond orbital analysis and atoms in molecule calculations were found to corroborate the obtained results.

AbstractAn efficient construction of the central 1,2,4‐trisubstituted pyrrole core via one‐pot [3+2] cycloaddition/elimination/aromatization sequence‐based domino process and subsequent Pd‐mediated cross dehydrogenative coupling between the C−H bonds of pyrrole and the peripheral aryl rings enables rapid access to the pentacyclic coumarin‐pyrrole‐isoquinoline scaffolds which were smoothly elaborated to the targeted lamellarins alkaloids. The total synthesis of lamellarins Z and S with the highest overall yield reported till date, besides the synthesis of several other natural lamellarins have been realized in 5–6 steps with overall yields ranging from 20–27 %.
Field programmable gate array‐based all‐layer accelerator with quantization neural networks for sustainable cyber‐physical systems

Published: December 2020

SummaryLow‐Bit Neural Network (LBNN) is a promising technique to enrich intelligent applications running on sustainable Cyber‐Physical Systems (CPS). Although LBNN has the advantages of low memory usage, fast inference and low power consumption, Low‐bit design requires additional computation units and may cause large accuracy drop. In this paper, we approach to design Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)‐based LBNN accelerator to support sustainable CPS. First, we propose a method to quantize the neural networks into 2‐bit weights, 8‐bit activations and 8‐bit biases with few accuracy loss. The mapping function is presented to approximate discrete space of weights gradually and quantize the activations and biases through the improved straight‐through estimator. Second, we design the bitwise FPGA‐based accelerator to speed up the LBNN. Different from traditional accelerating techniques (mainly focused on convolution layer), the dataflows of fully connected layer, pooling layer and convolution layer are considered to accelerate all layers of neural networks. The 2×8 bitwise multiplier implemented by AND/XOR operation is devised to replace 32×32‐bit multiplication unit, which can bring faster inference and lower power consumption. We conduct extensive experiments on benchmarks of MNIST, CIFAR‐10, CIFAR‐100 and ImageNet to evaluate the efficiency of our approach. The LBNN obtained by our quantization method can save 93.75% memory with 2.26% accuracy loss on average compared with original networks. The FPGA‐based accelerator achieves a peak performance of 427.71 GOPS under 100 MHz working frequency, which outperforms previous approaches significantly.
Quantitative analysis of energy conservation, economic benefits, and environmental safety of base transceiver station co‐location: Osogbo, Osun state, Nigeria as case study
Authors: Lasisi Hammed Oyebamiji , Aderinkola Bolatito Fatimah 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe ever‐increasing demand for mobile services puts mobile operators under pressure to invest heavily in infrastructure to expand coverage and capacity so as to serve customers. A smart way to ensuring effective signal transmission at optimized unit cost per infrastructure is the co‐location scheme. However, effective signal transmission requires an integrated network of base transceiver station (BTS) to provide adequate radio coverage to mobile stations. However, telecommunication operators share infrastructure by mounting base station antennas on selective common sites, a scheme called sites co‐location. This paper quantitatively examined the economic advantage of the BTS co‐location scheme over the standalone system in terms of energy conservation, environmental preservation, and cost per BTS reduction via facility optimization. A survey study, measurement, and evaluation were conducted around the study area to measure and evaluate the benefits of BTS co‐location over the standalone system in terms of energy conservation, environmental safety, and economic benefits. Results revealed that about 50% of power was conserved through co‐location; the average emission per BTS in the co‐located scheme is far below than is obtainable in the standalone system, and the average cost per BTS is significantly optimized as unnecessary duplication of some site facilities is eliminated. It is thus concluded that co‐location scheme conserves energy, saves costs, and serves as a means of avoiding unnecessary duplication of infrastructure and proliferation of BTS. This work, therefore, recommends implementation of BTS co‐location anywhere it is feasible.
Verhaltensbedingte dentale und orale Befunde bei Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störung – eine ausgewählte Übersicht
Authors: Schmidt P. , Schulte A. G. , Fricke O. 
Published: December 2020

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Charakteristisch für Menschen mit einer Störung aus dem Autismusspektrum (ASS) sind qualitative und quantitative Störungen der Kommunikation und sozialen Interaktion, stereotypes Verhalten und ggf. auch Sonderinteressen.

Ziel der Arbeit
Der vorliegende Artikel blickt auf unterschiedliche ASS-assoziierte Verhaltensmuster und deren Auswirkungen, die sich im Mundraum oder an den Zähnen darstellen.

Ergebnis
Im klinischen Alltag wird vermehrt ein Zusammenhang zum Mundraum festgestellt. Konkret sind Aspekte der einseitigen Ernährungsgewohnheiten, der Selbststimulation oder Selbstverletzung zu nennen, die einen Einfluss auf die Entstehung oraler und dentaler Erkrankungen wie Karies, Gingivitis haben können.

Diskussion
Mittel- und langfristig können sich abnorme, repetitive Verhaltensweisen in dentalen oder oralen Erkrankungen manifestieren. Der dadurch verursachte Krankheitswert kann letztlich die Lebensqualität der Person und des sozialen Umfelds negativ beeinflussen.

Schlussfolgerung
Folglich ist es wichtig zu wissen, dass eine orale Beteiligung einer individuellen Verhaltensauffälligkeit bei einem Menschen mit einer ASS häufig gegeben ist. Im klinischen Alltag der Kinder- und Jugendmedizin ist dieses Wissen für Diagnose und Therapie, aber auch für die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit dem (Kinder‑)Zahnarzt hilfreich.

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis
To assess changes in quality of life (QoL) and sexual function outcomes at 1 year after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) versus polyacrylamide hydrogel injection (PAHG).

Methods
In a randomized trial comparing TVT (n = 111) and PAHG (n = 113) treatments of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), we compared urinary incontinence and health-related QoL using the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7), Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) and RAND-36 Item Health Survey (RAND-36) at baseline and 1 year.

Results
UDI-6 and IIQ-7 showed improved incontinence-related QoL (p = 0.001) from baseline in both groups except for difficulty emptying the bladder and pain/discomfort. At 1 year, TVT patients experienced less urinary symptom-related distress compared to PAHG (p < 0.001). Sexual function improved in both groups (p < 0.001 for TVT and p = 0.01 for PAHG) with higher scores for the physical section subscale (p < 0.001) for TVT. Health-related QoL (RAND-36) improved from baseline in both groups in physical and social functioning (p < 0.001) with better outcome in the TVT group for physical functioning (p < 0.001). Increase in pain from baseline (p = 0.02) was detected for TVT, but not for PAHG. However, there was no difference between the groups (p = 0.78).

Conclusions
In primary SUI, TVT and PAHG treatments both improved QoL and sexual function at 1 year. However, incontinence and health-related QoL scores were better in the TVT group. More pain compared to the baseline was reported after TVT, although there was no difference between groups. Clinical significance needs to be evaluated in long-term follow-up.

AbstractThis study presents a novel approach resulting in the first cold-water coral reef biomass maps, used to assess associated ecosystem functions, such as carbon (C) stock and turnover. We focussed on two dominant ecosystem engineers at the Mingulay Reef Complex, the coral Lophelia pertusa (rubble, live and dead framework) and the sponge Spongosorites coralliophaga. Firstly, from combining biological (high-definition video, collected specimens), environmental (extracted from multibeam bathymetry) and ecosystem function (oxygen consumption rate values) data, we calculated biomass, C stock and turnover which can feed into assessments of C budgets. Secondly, using those values, we employed random forest modelling to predictively map whole-reef live coral and sponge biomass. The whole-reef mean biomass of S. coralliophaga was estimated to be 304 T (range 168–440 T biomass), containing 10 T C (range 5–18 T C) stock. The mean skeletal mass of the coral colonies (live and dead framework) was estimated to be 3874 T (range 507–9352 T skeletal mass), containing a mean of 209 T of biomass (range 26–515 T biomass) and a mean of 465 T C (range 60–1122 T C) stock. These estimates were used to calculate the C turnover rates, using respiration data available in the literature. These calculations revealed that the epi- and microbial fauna associated with coral rubble were the largest contributor towards C turnover in the area with a mean of 163 T C year−1 (range 149–176 T C year−1). The live and dead framework of L. pertusa were estimated to overturn a mean of 32 T C year−1 (range 4–93 T C year−1) and 44 T C year−1 (range 6–139 T C year−1), respectively. Our calculations showed that the Mingulay Reef overturned three to seven (with a mean of four) times more C than a soft-sediment area at a similar depth. As proof of concept, the supply of C needed from surface water primary productivity to the reef was inferred. Since 65–124 T C year−1 is supplied by natural deposition and our study suggested that a mean of 241 T C year−1 (range 160–400 T C year−1), was turned over by the reef, a mean of 117–176 T C year−1 (range 36–335 T C year−1) of the reef would therefore be supplied by tidal downwelling and/or deep-water advection. Our results indicate that monitoring and/or managing surface primary productivity would be a key consideration for any efforts towards the conservation of cold-water coral reef ecosystems.
