“The Raven” and Melville’s Pierre
Authors: Kopley Richard 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Close reading reveals that Herman Melville alluded to Poe’s “The Raven,” often through verbal correspondences, throughout his novel Pierre. Furthermore, there are significant similarities between Melville’s use of “The Raven” in Pierre and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s use of that poem in The Blithedale Romance. Yet important differences also exist, especially in regard to Melville’s not only remembering, but also renouncing—of societal norms and literary expectations, and perhaps, as well, of efforts to overcome the reserve of Hawthorne and efforts to know the secret of the universe. The varied kinds of renouncing are linked by way of the multiple allusions to Poe’s most celebrated poem. In addition, Melville’s interest in “The Raven” continued in subsequent years.
“Thou Art the Man” as a Clue to “The Mystery of Marie Rogêt”
Authors: Shan Xueqi 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
“Thou Art the Man” has long been regarded by critics as Poe’s burlesque and repudiation of the detective genre after his failure to solve the Mary Rogers case. This article intends to demonstrate that Poe has planted several clues in “Thou Art the Man” to imply its connection to “The Mystery of Marie Rogêt,” and that Poe’s reason for doing so is to reinforce that he has succeeded in solving the Mary Rogers mystery. In “Thou Art the Man,” the narrator notices that the evidence is artificial and, by creating a scene in which the dead man speaks, successfully extorts the confession from the murderer. By creating the connections of “Thou Art the Man” and “Marie Rogêt,” Poe indicates that he has also noticed the artificial evidence in Mary Rogers’s case, and, more importantly, he implies that the publication of his story has actually extorted Mrs. Loss’s confession, which leads to the solution of the case. For Poe, “Marie Rogêt” is a success not only as a fiction, but also because of its role in solving the real-world crime.
Retracing Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales in Stephen King’s Short Fiction
Authors: Miquel-Baldellou Marta 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In his study “Stephen King’s Fiction and the Heritage of Poe,” Burton R. Pollin argues that, despite the fact that the American best-selling writer Stephen King has often acknowledged the important influence that Edgar Allan Poe has exerted on his fiction, the analysis of King’s use of Poe’s writings in his own work has often been overlooked by Poe scholars. King’s references to Poe are so pervasive, especially in interviews, critical essays, and even books on creative writing, that Pollin claims, in his study, that no writer “enters into the substratum of a whole long work” as Poe does in King’s writings. Drawing on Pollin’s statement about the need to approach King’s fiction with respect to Poe’s tales, this article aims to analyze some of King’s stories included in his collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes in order to attest Poe’s legacy through displays of Gérard Genette’s concept of transtextuality. The imagery, motifs, characters, and plots of some of King’s stories in this collection, particularly those of narratives like “It Grows on You,” “Chattery Teeth,” “Dedication,” and “You Know They Got a Hell of Band,” will be analyzed through a comparative approach with regard to some of Poe’s texts, such as “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “Berenice,” “Morella,” and “The Masque of the Red Death,” with the aim to identify King’s contribution to transforming and updating different features in Poe’s classic tales.

Background. Modeling architectural aspects of the system is an essential activity in software development. Inthis context, developers work in parallel, and collaborate to define application software models, such as classdiagrams. Problem. Although many software modeling tools have been proposed, there is a lack of distributed collaboration features. Solution. This study proposes C-SAMT, a web tool for collaborative modeling of UML class diagrams. Developers can benefit from using C-SAMT when performing modeling tasks, such as creating domain models in parallel, and collaboratively. Evaluation. We recruited 20 industry professionals to perform a qualitative evaluation of the tool through a questionnaire. Results. Majority of Industry professionals (85%, 17/20) reported that totally agree that the communication channel of the tool worked properly, they also (80%, 16/20) totally agreed the models generated collaboratively with C-SAMT had small numbers of conflicts, and they also (90%, 18/20) perceived improved productivity gains using the proposed tool. Conclusion. C-SAMT provided a collaborative environment, which were positively evaluated by developers, who reported that C-SAMT had a good communication channel between team members.

As tecnologias utilizadas pelas criptomoedas, como o blockchain, tornaram possível a realização de transações entre os usuários sem a necessidade de uma entidade intermediária (exemplo: um banco). As criptomoedas (como Bitcoin e Monero) podem ser denidas como sistemas descentralizados que operam sem a necessidade de intermediários, tornando possível a realização de pagamentos descentralizados e sem fronteiras, onde usuários podem participar de transações sem a necessidade de estabelecer confiança. Devido a essas características e possibilidades, o uso de blockchain difundiu-se rapidamente pelos sistemas financeiros tradicionais. Grandes bancos e instituições financeiras passaram a investir significativamente na tecnologia como forma de melhorar a eficiência e reduzir custos em transações financeiras entre bancos e/ou inter-países. Uma das primeiras criptomoedas voltadas para instituições financeiras foi a Ripple. Rapidamente, a aplicação teórica e prática das tecnologias utilizadas pelas criptomoedas difundiu-se também para os mais diversos domínios, com o objetivo de solucionar diferentes tipos de problemas. Este tutorial apresenta uma introdução às tecnologias utilizadas pelas criptomoedas. O principal objetivo é difundir conhecimento sobre o assunto e estimular o desenvolvimento de pesquisas relacionadas à essas tecnologias. No decorrer do tutorial, são discutidos os fundamentos de um blockchain e das criptomoedas Bitcoin e Monero, com especial atenção na segurança e privacidade dos dados.
Inlay graft of acellular dermal matrix to prevent incisional dehiscence after radiotherapy in prosthetic breast reconstruction

Published: November 2019

Background As the indications for postmastectomy radiotherapy expand, innovative solutions are required to reduce operative complications and reconstructive failure after prosthetic breast reconstruction. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) inlay grafts in preventing postoperative wound dehiscence of irradiated breasts in the context of prosthetic breast reconstruction.
Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of 45 patients who received two-stage prosthetic reconstruction and radiotherapy following mastectomy. An ADM graft was placed beneath the incisional site during the second-stage operation in 19 patients using marionette sutures, whereas the control group did not receive the ADM reinforcement. Patient demographics and complications such as wound dehiscence, capsular contracture, peri-prosthetic infection, cellulitis, and seroma were compared between the two groups.
Results During an average follow-up period of 37.1 months, wound dehiscence occurred significantly less often in the ADM-reinforced closure group (0%) than in the non-ADM group (23.1%) (P=0.032). There was no significant difference between the two groups in relation to other complications, such as capsular contracture, postoperative infection, or seroma.
Conclusions The ADM inlay graft is a simple and easily reproducible technique for preventing incisional dehiscence in the setting of radiotherapy after prosthetic breast reconstruction. The ADM graft serves as a buttress to offload tension during healing and provides a mechanical barrier against pathogens. Application of this technique may serve to reduce complications in prosthetic breast reconstruction after radiotherapy.
Earwax of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: A retrospective study

Published: November 2019

Background In Western nations, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) typically affects the apocrine gland-bearing skin of people of African origin, women, smokers, and individuals with obesity. The clinical characteristics of HS in Korea and Japan, however, are reportedly different from those in the West. We therefore hypothesized that wet earwax is associated with HS because most East Asian people are genetically predisposed to produce dry earwax.
Methods The medical charts of 53 Japanese patients with HS were reviewed retrospectively.
Results Unlike the results of surveys conducted in Western nations, most of our patients were men (72%), whose buttocks were the most commonly affected site. Apocrine gland-bearing areas, such as the axilla, were affected less often. The proportion of HS patients with wet earwax was 51%, which was substantially higher than that found in the general Japanese population. Moreover, when patients with gluteal HS were excluded, the proportion of patients with wet earwax became even higher (68%).
Conclusions Although the etiology of HS is unknown, our survey indicated that HS in apocrine gland-bearing skin, such as the axillary and anogenital areas, may be associated with wet earwax. As this study was conducted in a limited clinical setting, a nationwide, multicenter survey is warranted to clarify the clinical characteristics of HS in Japan.

Published: November 2019

Background In microtia patients with bilateral hearing impairment, hearing improvement is crucial for language development and performance. External auditory canal reconstruction (EACR) has been performed to improve hearing, but often results in complications. We performed transcutaneous bone conduction implant (TBCI) surgery in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TBCI surgery.
Methods A retrospective review was performed of five patients who underwent auricular reconstruction and TBCI surgery and 12 patients who underwent EACR between March 2007 and August 2018. Hearing improvement was measured based on the air-bone gap values using pure-tone audiometry over a 6-week postoperative period. We reviewed other studies on hearing improvement using EACR and compared the findings with our results. The surgical techniques for TBCI were reviewed through case analyses.
Results Postoperative hearing outcomes showed a significant improvement, with a mean gain of 34.1 dB in the TBCI cohort and 14.1 dB in the EACR cohort. Both gains were statistically significant; however, the TBCI cohort showed much larger gains. Only three of the 12 patients who underwent EACR achieved hearing gains of more than 20 dB, which is consistent with previous studies. All patients who underwent TBCI surgery demonstrated hearing gains of more than 20 dB and experienced no device-related complications.
Conclusions TBCI is a safe and effective method of promoting hearing gains in microtia patients with bilateral hearing impairment. TBCI surgery provided better hearing outcomes than EACR and could be performed along with various auricular reconstruction techniques using virgin mastoid skin.
Entre la traduction interlinguale et intersémiotique. L’innovation dans les services de traduction vue par les responsables des entreprises de traduction françaises
Authors: Kuznik Anna 
Published: November 2019

L’innovation, comprise dans le sens large comme l’introduction de changements significatifs ayant pour but l’amélioration de la performance d’une organisation, a toujours été un défi méthodologique et social pour ceux qui voulaient la mesurer. Dans la discipline traductologique, un manque d’études panoramiques et exhaustives sur l’innovation dans les entreprises de traduction se laisse observer, malgré l’intérêt croissant des traductologues pour ces entités. Dans cet article, nous exposons les résultats d’une étude exploratoire (inductive, qualitative, descriptive) réalisée sur le territoire français en 2015. Dans notre approche, ce sont les personnes – les responsables des PME de traduction – qui constituent la source des données. Dans le cadre d’entretiens, elles ont partagé leurs opinions sur des éléments qui renforcent la possibilité d’émergence des innovations, sur les innovations proprement dites, et sur les formes créatives des services et de l’organisation du travail implantées dans leurs entreprises. Il ressort de ces milieux une conception traditionnelle de l’innovation, conçue presque uniquement comme un phénomène technologique, d’autres formes d’innovation n’étant pratiquement pas prises en compte. Le manque de formation initiale en entrepreneuriat, en gestion d’entreprise et en innovation est probablement l’une des causes.

Authors: Nandi Rajasree , Dey Soma , Hossain M. K. 
Published: November 2019

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different pre-sowing treatments of seeds on germination and growth performance of native threatened tree species Lithocarpus elegans at the nursery of Chittagong University, Bangladesh. Seeds were placed to eight pre-sowing treatments e.g. control (PT0), treated with sand paper rubbing (PT1), nicking (PT2), seeds immersed in cold water for 24 hours (PT3), seeds immersed in cold water for 48 hours (PT4) and seeds immersed in cold water for 7 days (PT5), seeds sown at propagator house (PT6), seeds immersed in cold water for 7 days and then sown at propagator house (PT7). Germination percentage was found highest (100%) in seeds sown at propagator house (PT6) followed by seeds immersion in cold water for 24 hours (PT3) (91.11%). For fertilizer dose experiment to seedlings at the nursery level, treatment FT1: 100 kg/ha (0.33679 g urea/pot/seedling) comparing with other treatments FT0: 0 kg/ha (Control), FT2: 200 kg/ha (0.67358 g urea/pot/seedling) showed better performance in case of shoot length, collar diameter, number of leaves, shoot fresh weight, total fresh weight, total dry weight, volume index. Finally, it can be concluded that Lithocarpus elegans seedlings revealed better performances under the seed pre-treatment PT6 (seeds sown at propagator house) and fertilizer dose FT1 (100 kg N ha-1) in growth and biomass production.
Regulation of Plant Morphogenesis: Generation of Anisotropy at Cellular and Tissue Levels
Authors: Baillie Alice L. , Fleming Andrew J. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Plant morphogenesis fundamentally relies on unequal or ‘anisotropic’ growth to generate variation in form. The mechanisms that regulate the production of specific organ shapes are many and varied, and interact with one another, resulting in a complex regulatory network. This complexity of regulation may contribute to the robustness of plant morphogenesis, and also allows the integration of environmental inputs with endogenous signals. Here we examine a range of mechanisms that regulate plant development, focussing first on processes that occur at the level of the cell, then considering how the activities of many cells are coordinated across tissues to produce organs and organisms.
Planar Growth, Integration, and Applications of Semiconducting Nanowires

Published: November 2019

AbstractSilicon and other inorganic semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have been extensively investigated in the last two decades for constructing high‐performance nanoelectronics, sensors, and optoelectronics. For many of these applications, these tiny building blocks have to be integrated into the existing planar electronic platform, where precise location, orientation, and layout controls are indispensable. In the advent of More‐than‐Moore's era, there are also emerging demands for a programmable growth engineering of the geometry, composition, and line‐shape of NWs on planar or out‐of‐plane 3D sidewall surfaces. Here, the critical technologies established for synthesis, transferring, and assembly of NWs upon planar surface are examined; then, the recent progress of in‐plane growth of horizontal NWs directly upon crystalline or patterned substrates, constrained by using nanochannels, an epitaxial interface, or amorphous thin film precursors is discussed. Finally, the unique capabilities of planar growth of NWs in achieving precise guided growth control, programmable geometry, composition, and line‐shape engineering are reviewed, followed by their latest device applications in building high‐performance field‐effect transistors, photodetectors, stretchable electronics, and 3D stacked‐channel integration.
A Contact‐Sliding‐Triboelectrification‐Driven Dynamic Optical Transmittance Modulator for Self‐Powered Information Covering and Selective Visualization

Published: November 2019

AbstractTriboelectrification‐enabled self‐powered flexible electronic/optical systems have aroused a new surge of interest in recent years. All‐in‐one integration of such a system, which could significantly improve its adaptability, operability, and portability, still remains a challenge due to the absence of suitable architectures and integration schemes. Herein, a previously reported self‐powered optical switch (OS) is thoroughly remolded and upgraded to a fully integrated contact‐sliding‐triboelectrification‐driven dynamic optical transmittance modulator (OTM). The OTM is constructed with a multilayered structure, comprising a transparent triboelectrification top layer, a SiO2‐spaced polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) intermediate layer, and a flexible transparent conductive substrate. The working mechanism is that an alternating electric field can be induced once contact‐sliding occurs upon the OTM, rendering the PDLC layer immediately switching its initial translucent state to an instantaneous transparent state. As such, a decent dimming range with the relative transmitted light intensity from 0.17 to 0.72 can be achieved at low mechanical thresholds of contact pressure (≈20 kPa) and sliding velocity (≈0.3 m s−1). Moreover, for practical applications, demonstrations of information covering and selective visualization are successfully implemented without any extra optical elements nor external power supplies, explicitly showing great potential for the OTM in various self‐powered optical interactive applications.
Palladium Catalysed Acid‐Free Carboxytelomerisation of 1,3‐Butadiene with Alcohols Accessing Pelargonic Acid Derivatives Including Triglycerides under Selectivity Control

Published: November 2019

AbstractPalladium catalysed carboxytelomerisation of 1,3‐butadiene with alcohols yields unsaturated C9‐pelargonic esters in an atom‐economic and straightforward way. Although carboxytelomerisation is of current interest, limitations of applicable alcohol substrates have not been fully investigated. In here, we present the transfer of the catalytic system comprising palladium acetate and tri‐n‐butyl phosphine in pyridine to a broad variety of 20 alcohols with vast difference in nucleophilicity and sterical demands yielding the corresponding esters in a 100% atom economic manner. Effects of nucleophilicity and sterical demands were revealed for monoalcohols, di‐ and polyols. Whilst yields, chemoselectivity and E/Z‐selectivity of the pelargonic acid derivatives were excellent with up to 99%, selectivity towards mono‐, di‐ and triesters could be controlled successfully. Finally, the reaction profile of the carboxytelomerisation glycerol was uncovered, yielding up to 97% of industrially relevant unsaturated C9‐short chain fats.magnified image
An object‐based approach to support the automatic delineation of magnetic anomalies

Published: November 2019

AbstractThe intensive use of geophysics in archaeological investigations demands new ways of fast and meaningful data interpretation. With the increasing size and complexity of magnetometer data, manual identification and delineation of magnetic anomalies becomes a time‐consuming activity. In this respect, our study introduces a new approach to automate this laborious procedure, implemented as a ready‐to‐use tool within the eCognition® software. The approach relies on a multiresolution segmentation (MRS) algorithm, which is applied on a single layer containing magnetic values. Magnetic anomalies are automatically identified and delineated at three levels of scale. Magnetic anomalies are thus classified as potential archaeological features. The degree of departure from a normal distribution is adjustable at 0.5 and 1 standard deviation (SD), respectively. The approach was tested on magnetometer images of a buried medieval village in the west of Romania. The data were acquired along parallel profiles covering six squares of 100 m × 100 m each. We have deliberately selected this magnetic map because it is not the top in terms of magnetic results and it provides staggers (due to data acquisition in 100 m grids) to show that if this algorithm works on this magnetic map, it will work defiantly on those where archaeological structures/anomalies are even more regulated. The tested scenes indicated accurate results, displaying positive‐ and negative‐valued magnetic anomalies with levels of detail almost similar to manually delineated anomalies. Our approach is simple to apply. Being implemented as a customized process for the eCognition® software, the tool attached to the article repository has a significant potential to support interpretation of any type of image obtained through geophysical measurements and we consider it an aid for large‐scale surveys.
