Evaluating Retinal Angiomatous Proliferation With Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Authors: Mao Jianbo , Cheng Dan , Lin Jingjing , Chen Yiqi , Lv Zhe , Shen Lijun 
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To report the imaging features of different stages of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Patients diagnosed with RAP were included in this study. All patients underwent fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCTA. The OCTA features were illustrated and compared with FA, ICGA, and OCT. OCTA was performed at baseline and after injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

RESULTS:
A total of 12 eyes of 12 consecutive patients were included. Patients' ages ranged from 57 to 82 years. In all cases, the hot spot lesions found on FA or ICGA were clearly detected on OCTA in the same area (12/12, 100%). Hot spot lesions showed variable patterns. Four patients had multiple hot spot lesions located on the outer retina layer, deep layer, or superior retinal layer. OCTA showed a clearer location and relationship with feeder vessels compared with FA or ICGA. Eight patients had received anti-VEGF therapy 1.75 ± 1.06 times. Follow-up OCTA images demonstrated smaller and fewer hot spot lesions with lesser blood flow signal.

CONCLUSIONS:
OCTA is a noninvasive, fast imaging modality for detecting microvascular changes, and it provides more detail of the RAP lesion and related vessels than ICGA or FA. OCTA would be a valuable tool for follow-up observation. The OCTA patterns of RAP may be helpful in understanding its pathology.

Ophthalmology Consultation to Detect Endogenous Endophthalmitis: Clinical Characteristics in Consulted Versus Diagnosed Cases Among At-Risk Inpatients
Authors: Wang Kaidi , Krishnan Gomathi , Pershing Suzann 
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Predisposing factors for ophthalmology consultations and endogenous endophthalmitis were compared among inpatients with systemic infection.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This was a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary care hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized.

RESULTS:
There were 9,527 encounters identified with systemic infection. The 5-year incidence rate was 8.4% (803/9,527) for consultations and 0.3% (25/9,527) for endophthalmitis. Factors most associated with consultations included positive fungal blood cultures and HIV. Factors most associated with endophthalmitis included positive blood fungal cultures and endocarditis. Four of 25 endophthalmitis patients lacked positive blood cultures; six of 20 endophthalmitis patients with adequate mentation were asymptomatic.

CONCLUSIONS:
Positive blood fungal cultures were strongly associated with both endophthalmitis and consultations. Endocarditis was strongly associated with endophthalmitis but less associated with consultation and may warrant increased attention. Neither presence of symptoms nor positive cultures may be sufficiently accurate to determine need for consultation.

Prevention of Macular Edema in Patients With Diabetic Retinopathy Undergoing Cataract Surgery: The PROMISE Trial
Authors: Song Weilin , Conti Thais F. , Gans Richard , Conti Felipe F. , Silva Fabiana Q. , Saroj Namrata , Singh Rishi P. 
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To determine the safety and efficacy of intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the prevention of macular edema (ME) following cataract surgery.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This phase 2, prospective, interventional, single-masked, randomized trial at a single academic center included 30 patients who were 18 years of age or older with nonproliferative DR and undergoing cataract surgery with phacoemulsification. Patients received 2 mg intravitreal aflibercept (0.05 mL) or sham injection during cataract surgery. Main outcome measures included treatment adverse events (AEs), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and incidence of ME (defined as presence of cystoid abnormalities as detected by optical coherence tomography at any follow-up visit), a 30% or greater increase from preoperative baseline in central subfield macular thickness, or a BCVA decrease of more than 5 ETDRS letters from Day 7 due to retinal thickening.

RESULTS:

There were similar incidences of AEs between the two groups and no clinically serious ocular AEs in either group. The IAI group had fewer ME events at Day 14 (13% vs. 53%;
P
= .022), but there was no significant difference in ME events at Day 30 (27% vs. 60%;
P
= .057), Day 60 (27% vs. 60%;
P
= .057), or Day 90 (40% vs. 67%;
P
= .161). Compared to the study group, the control group had a significantly greater increase in central subfield thickness (CST) at Day 30 (50.05 μm vs. 7.95 μm;
P
= .040) and Day 60 (56.45 μm vs. 3.02 μm;
P
= .010). However, the difference in CST between groups was no longer significant at Day 90 (50.31 μm vs. 18.48 μm;
P
= .12). There were no significant differences in BCVA gains between the IAI and sham group at the end of the follow-up period (Day 90, ETDRS letters: 9.88 vs. 8.52;
P
= .66).

CONCLUSIONS:
Use of IAI in patients with DR for prevention of ME following cataract surgery showed no significant AEs. Although there were significant differences in ME incidence and retinal thickness at periods of time, there was no clinically meaningful benefit in terms of VA. Further larger trials are needed to validate these findings.

Functional and Morphologic Findings at Four Years After Intravitreal Bevacizumab or Laser for Type 1 ROP
Authors: Lepore Domenico , Ji Marco H. , Quinn Graham E. , Amorelli Giulia M. , Orazi Lorenzo , Ricci Daniela , Mercuri Eugenio 
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To compare morphologic and functional status at age 4 years for patients treated in one eye with laser photocoagulation and the other eye with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection for Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
In this single-center, randomized, controlled trial, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in logMAR was obtained along with spherical equivalent refraction (SER), fluorescein angiography (FA), optical coherent tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA).

RESULTS:
Eighteen babies (36 eyes) were selected for this study. BCVA and SER were similar in the two groups, but six patients had anisometropia of 4 diopters or more. IVB-treated eyes tended to have thinner foveal thickness than laser-treated eyes (mean difference: −5.33 pixels; 95% confidence interval, −9.62 to −1.05).

CONCLUSION:
Although the differences found here are minimal between the IVB-treated and laser-treated groups, further long-term evaluation of not only FA, but also OCT and OCTA, are needed in larger studies.

ENHANCING PERFORMANCE OF SILICA-REINFORCED NATURAL RUBBER TIRE TREAD COMPOUNDS BY APPLYING ORGANOCLAY AS SECONDARY FILLER

ABSTRACT
Silica-reinforced natural rubber (NR) tire tread compounds are investigated using organoclay (OC) as secondary filler. By varying mixer temperature settings at a silica/OC ratio of 45/10 phr, dump temperatures are reached of approximately 120, 140, 150, and 160 °C. The increased dump temperature leads to a better silanization reaction resulting in lower mixing torque, Mooney viscosity, and Payne effect. The optimum mixing dump temperature was found to be around 150 °C. By varying the loadings of OC in the silica-filled NR compounds from 0 to 36 wt% relative to total filler amount, the increased OC loadings decreased the Payne effect and compound viscosities, significantly shortened scorch and cure times, and raised the tan delta at −20 and 0 °C as indications for ice traction and wet skid resistance of tire treads made therefrom. The optimum loading of OC of 9 wt% relative to total filler content shows better Payne effect, cure rate index, tan delta at −20 and 60 °C indicative for rolling resistance, and DIN (German Institute of Standardization) abrasion resistance index. The results indicate that the use of this hybrid filler may provide tires with better wet traction and lower rolling resistance and wear resistance compared with the pure silica-filled system.

“Dreams so rich in color. How else would death call you?”: An Exploration of the Ending in Cormac McCarthy's The Road
Authors: Powning Jacob M. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel The Road chronicles the journey of a father and son through a world almost entirely denuded of life, in which the remaining humans are dying or eating each other, and in which there is no hope for long-term survival of any life on earth. After the father dies, a stranger miraculously appears to take the son away from the road to a family that meets every hallmark of the son's desire. The unsettling anachronism of this deus-ex-machina man is so discordant with the apparent nihilism of the rest of the book and McCarthy's previous works that it demands a careful reading to understand its meaning. Since McCarthy has never written a happy ending before, and has written vivid descriptions of dreams and laid hints throughout the book about their significance, it is at least possible that this happy ending is the boy's wishful dream.
Domain Independent Automatic Labeling system for Large-scale Social Data using Lexicon and Web-based Augmentation
Authors: Khatoon Shaheen , Lamis Abu Romman  
Published: March 2020

Recently, with the large-scale adoption of social media, people have begun to express their opinion on these sites in the form of reviews. Potential consumers often forced to wade through huge amount of reviews to make informed decision. Sentiment analysis has become rapid and effective way to automatically gauge consumers’ opinion. However, such analysis often requires tedious process of manual tagging of large training examples or manually building a lexicon for the purpose of classifying reviews as positive or negative. In this paper, we present a method to automate the tedious process of labeling large textual data in an unsupervised, domain independent and scalable manner. The proposed method combines the lexicon-based and Web-based Point Wise Mutual Information (PMI) statistics to find the Semantic Orientation (SO) of opinion expressed in a review. Based on proposed methods a system called Domain Independent Automatic Labeling System (DIALS) has been implemented, which takes collection of text from any domain as input and generates fully labeled dataset in an unsupervised and scalable manner. The result generated can be used to track and summarize online discussion and/or use to train any classifier in the next stage of development. The effectiveness of system is tested by comparing it with baseline machine learning and lexicon-based methods. Experiments on multi-domains dataset has shown that proposed method consistently shown improved recall and accuracy as compared to baseline machine learning and lexicon-based methods.

Representation and Reception : Women in the Copenhagen Bohun Hours Ms. Thott 547 4º
Authors: Vidas Marina 
Published: March 2020

Marina Vidas: Representation and reception. Women in the Copenhagen Bohun Hours. Ms. Thott 547 4º This article presents and analyzes depictions of women in the Copenhagen Bohun Hours (Copenhagen, Royal Library, Ms. Thott 547 4º), an exquisitely illuminated fourteenth-century English manuscript, made for a young female member of the Bohun family, and focuses on meanings images could have had for their primary viewer. The representations which are examined are of: the book owner, the Virgin Mary, shown on nine of the fully illuminated folia, St. Elizabeth, Mary Magdalene, Job’s wife, a group of nuns as well as of three mothers who appear in the bas-de-pages. Firstly, it is argued that the painted portrait of the book owner is flattering in its presentation of the subject’s beauty, status and character. Attention is drawn to the fact that in her portrait, the book owner resembles the Virgin shown on the same folio. Secondly, it is suggested that the representations of the armorials of the heiress’s natal family, dominant in the manuscript, are evidence of pride in her noble lineage and her succession to the family titles as countess in her own right while the arms of the crown, depicted on her surcoat in her portrait and on one of the fully-illuminated folios, proclaim her royal connections. Thirdly, representations of holy women are discussed and it is suggested that they offered the viewer a variety of relevant role models and experiences to admire, inspire, and imitate. It is also proposed that some of the tales and scenes in the bas-de-pages could have had a cautionary purpose. Finally, it is observed that there is a substantial interest not only in individual women but a more general preoccupation with women’s relationships with the divine, with children and with other women.
Ejermærker i Danmarks Kunstbiblioteks ældre samling 1754 til 1810
Authors: Kragelund Patrick 
Published: March 2020

Patrick Kragelund: Owners Marks in Early Aquisitions of the Danish National Art Library The article provides a historical survey of owners’ marks, of exlibrises and superexlibrises in the early section (acquisitions 1754–1810) of the holdings of the Danish National Art Library. From the early part of this period a few royal gifts have been preserved, but the largest part of the material of relevance entered the library with the acquisition of the painter Nicolai Abildgaard’s books in 1810. It includes items with the superexlibris of King Charles XI of Sweden and Duke Friedrich III of Slesvig-Holstein-Gottorp (the latter a gift from Athanasius Kircher) and books from Danish 17th century private libraries, among which the author and translator Birgitta Thott. In the Royal Academy context, books once belonging to three of the early Dutch and German immigrant artists active in early 18th century Denmark such as Johann Coning, Otto de Willarts and Marcus Tuscher are of particular interest.
Johann Adolph Scheibe (1708–76) and Copenhagen
Authors: Hauge Peter 
Published: March 2020

Peter Hauge: J.A. Scheibe and Copenhagen Johann Adolph Scheibe (1708−1776), a German composer and theorist, settled in Denmark in 1740 employed as Christian VI’s new chapel master. He is, in particular, known for his periodical Critischer Musikus published during the years 1737−40 in which he includes a famous critique of J.S. Bach’s musical style. Though Scheibe was indeed a highly productive and popular composer in his day his works are rather unknown and the majority of them are only available in manuscript in the collections of The Royal Library, among other places. The first part of the article deals with Scheibe’s connections with members of the the circle of intellectual immigrants that settled in Copenhagen during the eighteenth century, which included J.E. Schlegel, F.G. Klopstock, H.W. Gerstenberg, J.A. Cramer and J.B. Basedow. The subjects in which they showed a great interest were for instance the relationship between text and music, but also subjects such as education, history (Scandinavian), language, religion and philology were given due attention. The second part of the article discusses the problems involved in establishing a complete list of Scheibe’s works, in particular his compositions. For instance, should the list only include works that have survived or should it also include those which are referred to in contemporary sources such as newspapers, journals and published booklets but have since been lost? And how may such a list reflect Scheibe’s importance for the musical environment in Copenhagen during the second half of the eighteenth century?
Carl Nielsens ‘Maskarade’ og Det Kongelige Teaters scenemusik til Holbergs komedier
Authors: Foltmann Niels Bo 
Published: March 2020

Niels Bo Foltmann: Carl Nielsen’s ‘Masquerade’ and the Royal Theatre’s stage music for Holberg’s comedies. The article examines the relationship between Carl Nielsen’s opera Masquerade (1906) and the opera’s literary precedent – Ludvig Holberg’s comedy Masquerade (1724), and the stage music for the comedy, which had been used at the Royal Theatre before the opera’s creation and for some 10 years after its first performance. Not surprisingly, Carl Nielsen made use of the references to music that appear in Holberg’s comedies, particularly references to various pieces of dance music, such as Magdelone’s dance scene in the first act and the Dance of the Cockerel in the third act. The author also illustrates how it is highly likely that Carl Nielsen was aware of the traditional stage music for Holberg’s comedies and, on this background, makes a comparison of various compositions from the stage music and the corresponding section in the opera. It thus appears that, in several passages, the composer worked within a musical tradition – this applies especially to the overture, to the Dance of the Cockerel and to various dance-like passages in the third act. In several instances, Carl Nielsen adopted a musical idea or motif and transformed it into his own personal style. The extent to which the composer consciously adopted the Holberg music is not clear. He apparently wanted to create a Holberg tone or, perhaps, this style simply “flowed from his pen” since he must have been very familiar with this repertoire. The former was most likely the case, and we can imagine that the references to the stage music perhaps were thought of as a teasing, humorous salute to musical colleagues in the orchestra and to an audience that was already familiar with traditional Holberg stage music.
