Cat and the Plumber: An American Radio Drama in China
Authors: Xu Ke 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The translation and adaptation of Arthur Miller's 1941 radio drama “The Pussy Cat and the Expert Plumber who was a Man” in 1980s China not only conveys the witty humor and intriguing critique of the original, but also carries unique marks of its receiving culture. A comparative close reading of the original and the translation shows how the original survives in a translation. Instead of antagonizing the east and the west as mutually unintelligible, my analysis of the translated Chinese radio drama “Cat and the Plumber” explores ways in which interlingual, intermedia, and intertextual references and variations help build the “image” of the west in post-Mao China through sound media. The literary event of a 1940s American radio drama traveling to 1980s China not only provides us with a new perspective in looking at the social soundscape as well as popular culture of 1980s China but also contributes to the repertoire of Sino-American cultural exchanges during the last decade of the Cold War. At the dawn of a new era in the history of China, the introduction of this American radio drama shows both achievements as well as limitations of the early post-Mao cultural reforms.
Teresa Teng in Diaspora: Affective Replacement in Chinese World-Making
Authors: Yao Sijia 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This article analyzes the trajectories of Deng Lijun's 鄧麗君 fame as a popular singer, particularly her cultural migration between Japan and China, thereby unveiling a complex intercultural process of (re)production, exchange, and circulation. Her soft but melancholic voice, “traditional Chinese grace,” and cosmopolitan fashion have been shaping cultural landscapes and soundscapes throughout the Chinese diaspora. Her voice and stage image, abundantly charged with a Nietzschean sense of pain and image, create an affective unity in this diaspora. She is widely admired as the “forever Deng Lijun” in Greater China, even Pan-Asia, primarily because of the shared affective base of pain and contradiction that are replaceable and portable transculturally and universally.

Os artigos aqui reunidos apresentam como tema geral a relação entre política e linguagem no mundo ameríndio e abarcam não apenas a função de comunicação ou significação da linguagem, mas suas propriedades pragmáticas, sua eficácia no fazer, agir sobre o mundo. Este dossiê é um desdobramento do Seminário “Lições de Fala”, ocorrido em julho de 2018 na USP, para o qual pesquisadores indígenas e não-indígenas reuniram-se para refletir e conversar sobre o que, segundo diferentes povos indígenas, falar quer dizer.
Nhe’ẽ para os Guarani (Nhandeva e Mbya)
Authors: Benites Sandra 
Published: November 2020

Os termos nhe´ẽ e aywu apresentam semelhanças e contrastes nos usos que deles fazem os Guarani Nhandeva os Guarani Mbya. Dentre os muitos sentidos evocados por ambos, destacam-se espírito, ser, vida, palavras, falas, som. Se para os Guarani Mbya, a fala comum é associada ao termo aywu, entre os Nhandeva este termo é utilizado para se referir às palavras sagradas. Nhe´ẽ, por sua vez, é o termo utilizado pelos Nhandeva na fala comum, enquanto para os Guarani Mbyá é utilizado como palavra sagrada. Sem enrijecer distinções, este texto mostra que, entre os Nhandeva, nhe´ẽ é também utilizado como palavra sagrada quando se refere a um ser espírito ou a um sentimento. Neste texto, busco apontar para a importância da boa fala para a construção da pessoa guarani, um caminho (tape) para o bem viver, teko porã.
Earthquake engineering research and development current needs
Authors: Hutchison D. L. 
Published: November 2020

The time is ripe for a review of directions in which earthquake engineering research is, or should be, heading. Half a century has elapsed since New Zealand suffered a serious earthquake in an urban area - during that time, immense changes have developed in both the form and complexity of structures and services. Researchers are tending to think more and more about less and less in their respective encapsulated environments. Are we getting to the stage where aspects of the problem are being well researched but their interdependence is being lost sight of? Or are we even missing important wider aspects? A need encompassing all topics is the matter of keeping abreast of developments being done elsewhere.
In this issue, we commence a series of general articles. These are intended primarily as a stimulus for comment.
Comparison of the resistance to cyclic fatigue of One Curve, One Shape, 2Shape and EdgeFile X3 files in simulated single and S-shaped (double) curvatures
Authors: Adıgüzel Mehmet , Öztekin Faruk 
Published: November 2020

Aim: To evaluate the fracture resistance to cyclic fatigue of One Curve (Micro-Mega, Besancon, Cedex, France), One Shape (Micro-Mega), 2Shape (Micro-Mega) and EdgeFile X3 (EdgeEndo, Albuquerque, NM) files in simulated root canals.
Methodology: One hundred and sixty nickel-titanium endodontic files were tested in simulated canals with single and s-shaped (double) curvatures. The One Curve (25/.06), One Shape (25/.06), 2Shape (25/.06) and EdgeFile X3 (25/.06) files were assessed (n=20 for each test). All the files were rotated up to fracture occurred. The number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was determined and also, the length of the fractured file part was measured. For statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests were used (p < 0.05).
Results: NCF for all instrument groups were significantly higher in the single curvature canal compared to the s-shaped curvature canal (p < 0.05). The EdgeFile X3 had the highest fatigue resistance in both curvature groups. The NCF of the One Curve were higher than that of the One Shape and 2Shape files (p < 0.05). In the s-shaped curvature canal, the files inclined to fracture more often in the apical curvature compared to the coronal curvature. There was no statistically considerable difference in the length of the fractured parts among the four experiment groups in either the single or s-shaped canal curvatures (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, fracture resistance to cyclic fatigue was the highest for the EdgeFile X3 group followed by the One Curve group and lowest for the 2Shape and One Shape group.

Authors: Lamoneda Prieto J. 
Published: November 2020

El propósito del presente estudio es analizar los niveles de participación y satisfacción en un programa de Educación Física siguiendo un modelo bioecológico en función del sexo, la edad y la necesidad educativa. Participaron 136 estudiantes con una edad media de 14.25 años (DT = 1.66), todos pertenecientes a un centro público ubicado en una zona en riesgo de exclusión. Los resultados revelaron que los niveles de participación no dependían del sexo, edad o necesidad educativa. Los valores de participación atenta y falta de asistencia no fueron positivos (participó un 55.3% y faltó el 45.6%); sin embargo, la participación relativa sí fue satisfactoria (entre un 68 y 90%), así como el disfrute (89.8%) y valor del programa para la vida personal (93.2%). Se sugiere replantear los programas de compensación educativa dando protagonismo a la Educación Física desde una orientación bioecológica.

Published: November 2020

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most common human malignancies worldwide and remains a major clinical challenge. Here, we found that benproperine phosphate (BPP), a cough suppressant, showed a significant anticancer effect on PC both in vitro and in vivo via the induction of autophagy‐mediated cell death. Mechanistic studies revealed that BPP triggered AMPK/mTOR‐mediated autophagy initiation and disturbed Ras‐related protein Rab‐11A (RAB11A)‐mediated autophagosome–lysosome fusion, resulting in excessive accumulation of autophagosomes. Inhibition of autophagy or overexpression of RAB11A partially reversed BPP‐induced growth inhibition in PC cells, suggesting that BPP might induce lethal autophagy arrest in PC cells. In conclusion, our results identify BPP as a potent antitumor agent for PC via the induction of autophagy arrest, therefore providing a new potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of PC.

Published: November 2020

AbstractHighly anisotropic resistivity surfaces are produced in indium tin oxide (ITO) films by nanoscale self‐organization upon irradiation with a fs‐laser beam operating at 1030 nm. Anisotropy is caused by the formation of laser‐induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) extended over cm‐sized regions. Two types of optimized structures are observed. At high fluence, nearly complete ablation at the valleys of the LIPSS and strong ablation at their ridges lead to an insulating structure in the direction transverse to the LIPSS and conductive in the longitudinal one. A strong diminution of In content in the remaining material is then observed, leading to a longitudinal resistivity ρL ≈ 1.0 Ω·cm. At a lower fluence, the material at the LIPSS ridges remains essentially unmodified while partial ablation is observed at the valleys. The structures show a longitudinal conductivity two times higher than the transverse one, and a resistivity similar to that of the pristine ITO film (ρ ≈ 5 × 10−4 Ω·cm). A thorough characterization of these transparent structures is presented and discussed. The compositional changes induced as laser pulses accumulate, condition the LIPSS evolution and thus the result of the structuring process. Strategies to further improve the achieved anisotropic resistivity results are also provided.
Hydrogen Evolution Reaction for Vacancy‐Ordered i‐MXenes and the Impact of Proton Absorption into the Vacancies

Published: November 2020

AbstractA study of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for Mo‐, W‐, and Nb‐based MXenes is presented, where W1.33C MXene with ordered vacancies is chosen for further investigation. The electrochemical measurements show that if the W1.33C MXene is subjected to high cathodic potentials, it greatly improves the activity and onset potential for the HER. The enhancement continues to improve independent of whether the potential is kept fixed at a certain cathodic potential or if the potential is scanned repeatedly. Interestingly, the improvement disappears if the material is subjected to anodic potential. Based on these observations, the hydrogen interaction with the MXene surface as well as in the vacancies is investigated by means of first‐principles calculations. These show that the adsorption energy of hydrogen is sensitive to both surface coverage and vacancy occupancy, and that, for certain structures with hydrogen in the vacancies, thermoneutral values of hydrogen adsorption can be obtained. Based on the calculations it is argued that under high cathodic potentials, protons can transfer to the vacancies and stay there in a metastable state as hydrogen atoms, while at anodic potential the process is reversed. The first‐principles results provide a rationale for the strongly enhanced HER activity observed experimentally on W1.33C MXene.
Nanoscale Patterning of Carbon Nanotubes: Techniques, Applications, and Future
Authors: Corletto Alexander , Shapter Joseph G. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractCarbon nanotube (CNT) devices and electronics are achieving maturity and directly competing or surpassing devices that use conventional materials. CNTs have demonstrated ballistic conduction, minimal scaling effects, high current capacity, low power requirements, and excellent optical/photonic properties; making them the ideal candidate for a new material to replace conventional materials in next‐generation electronic and photonic systems. CNTs also demonstrate high stability and flexibility, allowing them to be used in flexible, printable, and/or biocompatible electronics. However, a major challenge to fully commercialize these devices is the scalable placement of CNTs into desired micro/nanopatterns and architectures to translate the superior properties of CNTs into macroscale devices. Precise and high throughput patterning becomes increasingly difficult at nanoscale resolution, but it is essential to fully realize the benefits of CNTs. The relatively long, high aspect ratio structures of CNTs must be preserved to maintain their functionalities, consequently making them more difficult to pattern than conventional materials like metals and polymers. This review comprehensively explores the recent development of innovative CNT patterning techniques with nanoscale lateral resolution. Each technique is critically analyzed and applications for the nanoscale‐resolution approaches are demonstrated. Promising techniques and the challenges ahead for future devices and applications are discussed.

Published: November 2020

AbstractAn efficient method was developed for the alkylation of 2‐arylquinazolin‐4(3H)‐ones with cyclopropanols. The desired products β‐aryl ketones bearing the quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one scaffold were synthesized by Rh(III)‐catalyzed C−H activation of arenes and C−C cleavage of cyclopropanols. This method has a wide range of benzyl/phenyl substrate applicability and provides a theoretical guidance for our research to study quinazoline compounds.
Synthesis of Phosphinopeptides and Phosphinodepsipeptides
Authors: Xu Jiaxi 
Published: November 2020

AbstractBoth phosphinopeptides and phosphinodepsipeptides are important phosphorus analogues of naturally occurring peptides. They have been widely applied as biological active peptides, such as enzyme inhibitors, haptens for production of catalytic antibodies, and antibiotics. Synthetic methods of phosphinopeptides and phosphinodepsipeptides are reviewed and classified on the basis of the structural characteristics of aminoalkylphosphinic acids. This review focuses on the synthetic methods to phosphinopeptides and phosphinodepsipeptides, including α‐, β‐, and γ‐phosphinopeptides and α‐phosphinodepsipeptides.

AbstractIntroductionThe ATN framework provides an in vivo diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of pathologic amyloid plaques (A), tangles (T), and neurodegeneration (N). ATN is rarely evaluated in pathologically confirmed patients and its poor sensitivity to suspected non‐Alzheimer's pathophysiologies (SNAP), including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), leads to misdiagnoses. We compared accuracy of ATN (ATNTAU) using CSF total tau (t‐tau) to a modified strategy (ATNNfL) using CSF neurofilament light chain (NfL) in an autopsy cohort.MethodsATNTAU and ATNNfL were trained in an independent sample and validated in autopsy‐confirmed AD (n = 67) and FTLD (n = 27).ResultsATNNfL more accurately identified FTLD as SNAP (sensitivity = 0.93, specificity = 0.94) than ATNTAU (sensitivity = 0.44, specificity = 0.97), even in cases with co‐occurring AD and FTLD. ATNNfL misclassified fewer AD and FTLD as “Normal” (2%) than ATNTAU (14%).DiscussionATNNfL is a promising diagnostic strategy that may accurately identify both AD and FTLD, even when pathologies co‐occur.
Supramolecular Engineering Strategy to Construct BODIPY‐Based White Light Emission Materials
Authors: Li Fang‐Zhou , Zhou Liang‐Liang , Kuang Gui‐Chao 
Published: November 2020

AbstractTwo kinds of 4,4‐difluoro‐4‐bora‐3a,4a‐diaza‐s‐indacene (BODIPY) dyads BDP‐OH containing 4‐hydroxystyrene groups and BDP‐PY bearing pyridinyl units were prepared. In addition, a naphthalene derivative NAP‐PY modified by pyridinyl moieties substituent was made. The above three dyads could be used to construct white‐light emission (WLE) material by a supramolecular engineering strategy due to their three primary colors of blue, green and red. The supramolecular correlations between the hydroxyl group of BDP‐OH and the pyridinyl groups of NAP‐PY and BDP‐PY were confirmed by 1H NMR titration, 2D NOESY and FTIR. A fluorescence monitor application was carried out based on the realization of WLE. This work might be useful for designing other WLE supramolecular systems and image display.
