Authors: Abboud Jaber , Boehmer Andreas A. , Georgopoulos Stamatis , Ehrlich Joachim R. 
Published: December 2020

ZusammenfassungDerzeit wird über den Stellenwert primärprophylaktisch implantierter Kardioverter-Defibrillatoren (ICD) bei Patienten mit nicht ischämischer dilatativer Kardiomyopathie (NIDCM) diskutiert. Frühere Studien (DEFINITE, SCD-HeFT) schlossen Patienten ein, die nach heutigem Standard nicht optimal medikamentös und ohne kardiale Resynchronisation (CRT) therapiert wurden. Diese Studien bilden die Grundlage für die Empfehlung der ICD zur Primärprophylaxe des plötzlichen Herztods. Die DANISH-Studie (an der Patienten mit kontemporärer optimaler medikamentöser Therapie sowie hohem Prozentsatz von CRT teilnahmen) zeigte einen Effekt des ICD auf die kardiovaskuläre Sterblichkeit, jedoch ohne Nutzen in Bezug auf Gesamtletalität. Einige Faktoren wie Alter, Komorbiditäten oder Rechtsventrikeldysfunktion fordern Aufmerksamkeit. Insgesamt besteht die Leitlinienempfehlung fort, primärprophylaktische ICD bei NIDCM zu implantieren, wenn eine optimale medikamentöse Therapie und eine
Lebenserwartung > 5 Jahren bestehen.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for achalasia cardia; however, post-POEM gastroesophageal reflux (GER) remains a significant problem. Concomitant endoscopic fundoplication following POEM (POEM + F) was recently described to reduce post-POEM GER. This single-center study reports short-term outcomes of POEM + F.
Methods This was a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing POEM + F. Abstracted data included demographics, achalasia type, pre-POEM Eckardt score, prior therapy, follow-up. Follow-up assessment was 3-monthly for 1 year and included post-POEM Eckardt score, GerdQ score, wrap integrity and esophagitis on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and pH studies. GER was defined according to Lyon Consensus.
Results 25 patients underwent POEM + F (mean age 40.1 years [standard deviation (SD) 13.7]; 12 females). POEM + F was technically successful in 23/25 (92.0 %). Significant dysphagia improvement was seen in all 25 patients (mean pre- and post-POEM Eckardt scores 8.21 [SD 1.08] and 0.1 [SD 0.3], respectively; P = 0.001). Mean total procedure and fundoplication times were 115.6 (SD 27.2) minutes and 46.7 (SD 12.4) minutes, respectively; times reduced significantly after the initial five cases. Median follow-up was 12 months (interquartile range [IQR] 9–13). Intact wrap was seen in 19/23 (82.6 %). GER (abnormal esophageal acid exposure time [EAET]) was seen in 2/18 (11.1 %) and there was one reported GerdQ > 8. Borderline GER (asymptomatic grade A esophagitis, normal EAET) was identified in 4/22 (18.2 %). Three (12.0 %) minor delayed adverse events occurred but required no intervention.
Conclusions POEM + F was safe and reproducible. At 12 months’ follow-up, incidence of post-POEM + F GER was low and acceptable.
Regioselective Functionalization of N-Fused Heteroaromatics via FeCl3-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Addition to Activated N-Heterocycles
Authors: Kim Ikyon , Kim Sung June , Lee Sunhee 
Published: December 2020

AbstractBroadening of nitrogen-fused heteroaromatic chemical space such as indolizine and pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine was achieved via FeCl­3-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of these N-fused aromatic compounds to a wide range of azolinium systems generated in situ, leading to novel N-fused heteroaromatic scaffolds with dearomatized N-heterocyclic substituents regioselectively. Nucleophilic addition of indolizines and pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines mainly occurred at the C1 position of the isoquinoliniums and at the C4 site of the quinoliniums.

Published: December 2020

ResumoA desnutrição em portadores de câncer (PCs) é frequente, particularmente, em PCs de cabeça e pescoço, e do trato digestivo, dada a localização dos tumores, que podem impedir a ingestão e a absorção dos nutrientes. Dada a gravidade da desnutrição associada ao câncer, exigem-se medidas de adequação da ingestão alimentar, principalmente em relação ao consumo de energia por esses pacientes. As intervenções nutricionais (INs) devem ser iniciadas sempre que for diagnosticado risco nutricional atual ou esperado, quando os pacientes devem ser encaminhados a nutrólogos/nutricionistas especializados em PCs. As principais abordagens da IN são o aconselhamento nutricional, a prescrição de suplementos nutricionais orais, e a nutrição enteral, a serem determinados e selecionados por meio de triagem e avaliação nutricional. Diferentes diretrizes nutricionais orientam os profissionais na condução do apoio nutricional. O objetivo do presente estudo foi a realização de uma revisão narrativa da literatura referente ao papel da nutrição e os principais meios de intervenção nutricional, que contribuem para a prevenção e o tratamento de PCs em âmbito ambulatorial, por meio de pesquisa literária nos idiomas português e inglês usando recursos eletrônicos. Concluiu-se que as intervenções nutricionais são imperativas em casos de desnutrição associada ao câncer, mas que ainda são necessárias novas pesquisas para determinar o papel real dos alimentos na prevenção do câncer.
Importantes aspectos da Nutrologia e suas aplicações nos pacientes oncológicos
Authors: Zylberberg Ricardo 
Published: December 2020

ResumoEstimativas globais demonstram que a incidência de casos de câncer na população mundial vem aumentando e, consequentemente, a mortalidade relacionada a esse diagnóstico. Diversos fatores de risco relacionados ao câncer foram identificados, tais como: o tabagismo, o excesso de peso, dietas de padrão ocidental e o sedentarismo. Evidências científicas robustas demonstram que a maioria dos casos de câncer pode ser prevenida com medidas comportamentais. Apesar de um vasto conhecimento sobre os fatores de risco modificáveis relacionados ao câncer, a implementação de medidas de prevenção ainda é incipiente. Intervenções almejando o controle de peso, a personalização da dieta e o estímulo à prática de atividade física podem melhorar a qualidade de vida e alguns desfechos relacionados ao câncer e ao seu tratamento. O presente artigo tem o intuito de revisar os impactos dessas variáveis no diagnóstico, tratamento e mortalidade dos pacientes oncológicos, além de discorrer sobre as principais recomendações dos aspectos nutrológicos específicos dessa população.

Abstract
Introduction Minor structural alterations of the vocal fold cover are important causes of dysphonia. The variability in the type of alteration and the grade of vocal deviation affects the definition of the conduit and the results of treatment.
Objective To characterize the occurrence, the selected treatments adopted and vocal quality before and after treatment in patients with minor structural alterations of the vocal folds cover.
Methods This was a cross-sectional study based on the records of patients treated by an interdisciplinary team at the laryngology outpatient clinic of a public university hospital from 2010 to 2018. Data collection consisted of access to a database of information on otorhinolaryngological diagnostic hypotheses, intervention and perceptual-auditory vocal assessments before and after the treatment. Data from 102 subjects were analyzed. Association tests were applied between the perceptual-auditory vocal results and the different alterations found and between these and the adopted treatments. The results of the degrees of vocal deviation before and after treatment were also compared.
Results The degree of roughness was associated with the sulcus vocalis, and in this alteration the highest occurrence was mild degree of roughness. There was an improvement in the breathiness and general grade of vocal deviation after treatment.
Conclusion Cysts were the most frequent structural alteration in the population studied. There was an association between the degree of general deviation and that of roughness in sulcus vocalis cases. The breathiness and the general grade of vocal deviation improved after treatment regardless of the type of treatment and alteration.
Corpus driven identification of lexical bundle obsolescence in Late Modern English
Authors: Tichý Ondřej 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This chapter explores a new methodology for extracting multi-word units that were once common but have since become obsolete from large corpora (esp. from the Google ngrams dataset of the Google Books project). It complements a modified frequency-based methodology previously used for detecting lexical obsolescence (Tichý 2018) with a bottom up approach to calculating association measures in multi-word sequences inspired by Wahl & Gries (2019). The analytical part examines expressions identified as potentially obsolete on their way from Late Modern to Present-day English. Conditions, circumstances and consequences of the loss of such expressions are considered with a focus on the competing forms expressing similar functions that may be recognized as supplanting the old forms.
Decline and loss in the modal domain in recent English
Authors: Kranich Svenja 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Numerous corpus studies have firmly established that in recent English, most core modals (e.g. must) have been declining in frequency, while the semi-modals (e.g. have to) have been on the rise (cf. e.g. Krug 2000; Mair & Leech 2006; Leech & Smith 2006). The present paper follows the constructional approach to modal meaning taken by Cappelle and Depraetere (2016), who show that modals tend to occur in certain contexts with particular meaning. An investigation of a sample of may and must in COHA (1960s & 2000s) shows that the decline of the modals (and the foreshadowed loss of some) may be witnessed particularly in the demise of certain constructions. A close-up investigation shows the construction we + may + verb of speaking/reasoning is on its way to be lost. Relevant factors (genre, function, culture) are discussed and suggestions about the general implications of the loss of this particular construction will be presented.
Surface plasmon resonances between silver nanoribbons and anisotropic black phosphorus to light confinement

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Two-dimensional plasmonic materials generally use patterned structural design to enhance the intensity of interaction with light near the resonance wavelength. We propose a non-patterned monolayer black phosphorus (BP) and patterned silver periodic nanostructures. The surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) between the upper metal silver nanoribbons or silver nano-square matrix and the BP sheet are used to achieve effective light confinement. Since the BP sheet is continuous in the structural design, the absorption response of the system can be dynamically adjusted by voltage-controlled Fermi level of BP. We also discussed two structural parameters closely related to the local size of SPR, the width of silver nanoribbons w
1, and the distance d
1 between silver and BP. The crystal structure of the BP puckered shows a strong in-plane anisotropy. When the silver in the system is a nanoribbon and a nano-square matrix, we research the anisotropy of the system by placing the BP in different directions relative to the structure and change the polarization angle of the incident light. The proposed anisotropic structure has the ability to achieve light confinement, which provides the basis for the construction of plasmonic sensors and polarization switches.
Occluded target detection of streak tube imaging lidar using image inpainting
Authors: Li Wenhao , Guo Shangwei , Zhai Yu , Han Shaokun , Liu Fei , Lai Zhengchao 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We improve the system of multi-slit streak tube imaging lidar (MS-STIL) for occluded target detection. To solve the contradiction between high range resolution and deep depth of field, a fiber-optic beam, called ‘beam shunting’, is designed. In addition, we combine the deep-learning-based image inpainting algorithm with the MS-STIL to solve the problem of ineffective imaging when the target is obscured by a large area. Finally, the results of the simulated contrast experiments show that the range resolution is increased from 0.4 m to 0.1 m, and the new system is effective in detecting occluded targets.
Radical anion functionalization of two-dimensional materials as a means of engineering simultaneously high electronic and ionic conductivity solids
Authors: Németh Károly 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
A radical anion based functionalization of the basal plane of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and other two-dimensional materials is proposed in the present study. The resulting materials can reversibly be oxidized without the detachment of the functional groups from the basal plane and can thus serve as surface-intercalation type cathode electroactive species and fast solid ion conductors at the same time. The functionalization of h-BN with [·OBX3]− radical anions (X=F, Cl) in the presence of Li, Na or Mg cations provides one example of such systems. This material can be realized in a proposed simple, two step synthesis. In the first step, a symmetric Lewis adduct of the corresponding Li, Na or Mg peroxides is formed with BX3. In the second step, the anion of the Lewis adduct is thermally split into two identical [·OBX3]− radical anions that covalently functionalize the B atoms of h-BN. In the maximum density surface packing functionalization, the product of the synthesis is A
n
[(BN)2OBX3] (A = Li, Na with n = 1 or A = Mg with n = 0.5). Its ionic conductivity is predicted to be in the order of 0.01-0.1 S cm-1 at room temperature, on the basis of Grotthus-like (or paddle-wheel) ion transport. In the highly oxidized states (0 ≤ n ≤ 1 for Li and Na and 0 ≤ n ≤ 0.5 for Mg), the electronic conductivity of this material is in the order of 1 S cm−1, similar to carbon black. In the fully reduced states (n = 2 for Li and Na and n = 1 for Mg), the material becomes an insulator, like h-BN. The tunability of the electronic properties of A
n
[(BN)2OBX3] via the cation concentration (n) allows for its application as multifunctional material in energy storage devices, simultaneously serving as cathode active species, solid electrolyte, electroconductive additive, separator, heat conductor and coating for metal anodes that enables dendrite-free plating. This multifunctionality reduces the number of phases needed in an all-solid-state battery or supercapacitor and thus reduces the interfacial impedance making energy storage devices more efficient. For example, Li[(BN)2OBF3] is predicted to have 5.6 V open circuit voltage versus Li metal anode, capacity of 191 mAh g−

Detecting entanglement of unknown continuous variable states with random measurements
Authors: Mihaescu Tatiana , Kampermann Hermann , Gianfelici Giulio , Isar Aurelian , Bruß Dagmar 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We develop a scheme for the detection of entanglement in any continuous variable system, by constructing an optimal entanglement witness from random homodyne measurements. To this end, we introduce a set of linear constraints that guarantee the necessary properties of a witness and allow for its optimisation via a semidefinite program. We test our method on the class of squeezed vacuum states and study the efficiency of entanglement detection in general unknown covariance matrices. The results show that we can detect entanglement, including bound entanglement, in arbitrary continuous variable states with fewer measurements than in full tomography. The statistical analysis of our method shows a good robustness to statistical errors in experiments.
A theoretical study of de-charging excitations of the NV-center in diamond involving a nitrogen donor

Authors: Löfgren R , Öberg S , Larsson J A 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centre in diamond is a promising candidate for future nanoscale quantum applications. For its operation it is important to have control of the centres charge state, and to avoid temporary disappearance of the NV-center’s functionality, termed photo-blinking. In this work, we use density functional theory simulations to investigate excitations that result in loss of an electron from NV− to a nearby nitrogen donor (donor-N+), leading to NV0 and donor-N0 charge state, and the corresponding deexcitation. Since these processes involve two different localized defect centres in the diamond lattice (the NV-center and the donor-N) they are non-local excitations. We have studied the de-charging both as a one-photon process and through a sequential two-photon process via the NV-center excited state. We propose de-charging directly from the NV-center to the donor-N as a possible mechanism for photo-blinking of the NV-center that involve an additional electron spin resonance active defect, the donor-N0. We have found that the excitation energies are converged when the distance between the two is larger than 10.4 Å. We also compute excitations to the conduction band edge from NV− (to NV0) and from donor-N0 (to donor-N+) using G0W0 + BSE.
Retracted: Functional shape effects of nanoparticles on nanofluid suspended in ethylene glycol through Mittage-Leffler approach

Published: December 2020

Abstract
It is fundamental fact that nanoparticles are strong function of their shapes and sizes; this is because nanoparticles certainly play an adhesive and a significant role in fluid phenomenon. This manuscript investigates the functionality and thermodynamics of different nanoparticles namely gold, alumina, silver and copper suspended in ethylene glycol considered as a base fluid. The problem of mixed convection is modeled by modern fractional derivative by invoking initial and boundary conditions. The analytic calculation of velocity field and temperature distribution is obtained by employing Laplace transforms then transformed into Fox-H function. The effects of critical physical characteristics (sizes and shapes) have been analyzed through velocity field and temperature distribution using different nanoparticles. Obviously, all nanoparticles are not made equal in terms of sizes and shapes; hence a remarkable comparison of different nanoparticles is analyzed for the interactions with their sizes and shapes on the velocity field and temperature distribution. Importantly, we seek to illustrate the shape and size impacts of nanoparticles namely platelet, blade, cylinder and brick on velocity field and temperature distribution. In short, our results suggest that

Abstract
The transit method of exoplanet discovery and characterization has enabled numerous breakthroughs in exoplanetary science. These include measurements of planetary radii, mass–radius relationships, stellar obliquities, bulk density constraints on interior models, and transmission spectroscopy as a means to study planetary atmospheres. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has added to the exoplanet inventory by observing a significant fraction of the celestial sphere, including many stars already known to host exoplanets. Here we describe the science extraction from TESS observations of known exoplanet hosts during the primary mission. These include transit detection of known exoplanets, discovery of additional exoplanets, detection of phase signatures and secondary eclipses, transit ephemeris refinement, and asteroseismology as a means to improve stellar and planetary parameters. We provide the statistics of TESS known host observations during Cycle 1 and 2, and present several examples of TESS photometry for known host stars observed with a long baseline. We outline the major discoveries from observations of known hosts during the primary mission. Finally, we describe the case for further observations of known exoplanet hosts during the TESS extended mission and the expected science yield.
