Published: June 2020

The scientific study of epidermal ridges on the palms and toes is termed dermatoglyphics. Multiple births occur when more than one fetus results from a single pregnancy. This study is aimed at determining the relationship if any between multiple births and palmar flexion creases. Two hundred Igbo-Ora and one hundred Ogbomosho healthy and consenting adult female indigenes aged between 25-50 years were recruited and grouped into 4; group I consisted of multiple births women in Igbo-Ora; group II consisted of single births women in Igbo-Ora; group III consisted of multiple births women in Ogbomosho; and group IV consisted of single births women in Ogbomosho. A total of 600 palms (Igbo-Ora n=400; Ogbomosho n=200) comprising of both hands were used in the study. Palm prints samples were obtained by asking the participants to wash their hands, towel dry them, after which they were stained with stamp ink pad and prints made on A4 paper in duplicates. Palm print patterns of 105 (Igbo-Ora) and 50 (Ogbomosho) women with multiple births were compared with 95 (Igbo-Ora) and 50 (Ogbomosho) women with single births. The percentage number of primary, P and intersection, I of palmar creases with complete transverse creases, C (PIC) 300 bilaterally was significantly greater (p < 0.005) in the hands of Igbo-Ora multiple births women (52.4 %) than their single births women (37.4%) while same trend was observed for Ogbomosho women although difference was statistically insignificant,(p > 0.005). In both Igbo-Ora and Ogbomosho women, PIC 310 bilaterally was found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) in both hands of single births women than the multiple births women. Hence, dermatoglyphics can be said to have relationship with a woman’s tendency to giving birth to multiples.

The aortic arch is the segment of the thoracic aorta located between its ascending and descending portions at the level of the 4th thoracic vertebra. Its main collateral branches constitute the supra aortic trunks (SAT). We reported 4 cases of variations of these trunks. The first two cases show 2 supra aortic trunks with a right bicarotido-subclavian trunk; the third, 4 supra aortic trunks with a right vertebral-subclavian trunk and the fourth, an origin’s variant and an aberrant course of the supra aortic trunks. These variants find their explanation in the embryology and are important to be known by the neurologist, the neurosurgeon, the vascular surgeon, the otolaryngologist and the radiologist for an adequate diagnosis and therapy.

Morphometric study of the meningeal sheath of the oculo motor nerve in the latero-sellar lodge: Neuro surgical interest
Authors: Séry Fréjus , Koffi Rodrigue 
Published: June 2020

The meningeal sheath of the oculomotor nerve is also known that the latero-sellar lodge. It has both dural and extra-dural components. This sheath contains vascular elements including the carotid and nervous siphon, the motor nerves of the eye to which are added the division branches V1 and V2 of the trigeminal nerve. The oculomotor nerve runs through this lodge wrapped in its meningeal sheath. The purpose of this study was to document the dimensions of the different segments of the nerve as it crosses the lodge. Eight pairs of lodges were the subject of this study. Dead bodies fixed with 10% formalin for two to three weeks underwent a craniotomy. After removal of the brain, nerve III and its meningeal envelope were dissected and exposed. The different segments of the nerve were measured in both sides. The entrance orifice of the porus of the oculomotor nerve III was located behind the anterior clinoid process to 7.2 mm (extreme from 3 to 13mm) on the right and to 7.40mm (extreme from 4 to 12) on the left. The meningeal cul-de-sac represented the intra-conical segment and was either 5.2mm long (extreme from 4 to 6.5mm) or short 3.25mm (extreme from 2 to 3.5mm). The supra-cavernous segment measured on the right 5.2 mm (extreme from 2 to 8 mm) and on the left 4.6 mm (extreme from 3 to 7 mm). The latero-sellar lodge, a complex and narrowed region is crossed by nervous elements each in its meningeal sheath. This deserves an approach by surgical microdissection.
Key words: Oculomotor nerves - meningeal cone - measurement – cadaver – latero-sellar lodge.

“A brief history of the nymphet's tribulations”: The Interpretation of Obscenity in the Early Reception of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita
Authors: Sayers Luke 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
The publication of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita was scandalous, but few seem to know why. One explanation is that Lolita's sexual content offended readers, and while this is in part true, a thorough analysis of the early reviews and criticism of Lolita between 1955 and 1960 reveals that there were many other reasons for the scandal, including the book's humor, its message, and its style. Despite some objections to the book, many commentators came to its defense, but in their attempts to defend the book from accusations of obscenity or immorality, they consistently adopted a negative view of the character Lolita. This article examines these early interpretive trends and their ethical implications.
Attending to the Nightingale: On a Multispecies Ethnomusicology
Authors: Silvers Michael 
Published: June 2020

AbstractPosthumanism, now in the mainstream of the humanities and humanistic social sciences, poses a challenge to ethnomusicology, a discipline inherently focused on the human and social aspects of music. Drawing from a survey of birds in the ethnomusicological scholarship and the author’s research on music and birds in Brazil, this article proposes an approach to ethnomusicology that emphasizes nonhuman factors and their own properties and effects as a method for better understanding music as a meaningful human phenomenon.O pós-humanismo, hoje no centro das correntes das ciências humanas e sociais, coloca um desafio à etnomusicologia, área intrinsecamente focada nos aspectos humanos e sociais da música. Partindo de uma visão geral das aves no campo etnomusicológico e da pesquisa do autor sobre música e aves no Brasil, o presente artigo propõe uma abordagem etnomusicológica que dá ênfase a fatores não humanos e suas propriedades e efeitos característicos como um método para entender melhor a música como um fenômeno humano significativo.

Published: June 2020

Experimental design DoE (box behnken design BBD) and statistical analysis approaches were employed to determine the effect of Congo red dye (C.R) concentration, photo catalyst dose (Fe+2) and follow of oxygen gas as an oxidant on the degradation of C.R. The results show that the concentration oppositely affects the degradation yield whereas the remaining two factors show positive effect, throughout all experiments oxygen molecule shows crucial role in their positive effect with p-value about 0.01 which is very significant value. The accepted regression model was linear with significance p-value 0.032 that mean all factors show good agreement in linear relationship and the interactions was not important. Degradation kinetics was also applied to investigate the effect of increasing dye concentration on degradation rate constant with and without photo catalyst dose and oxidant (O2). It appears that the degradation of peak at 498nm is second order The result was in good agreement with that of statistical analysis that are 0.0435, 0.0545 and 5.4 M- min- with photo catalysis 12, 8 and 4 PPM dye, 4O2 mL/min,20PPM Fe+2 respectively, in case without photocatalyst the results were 0.0025 and 0.0207 M- min-with 12 and 4 PPM in turn.

Published: June 2020

AbstractFlexible, material‐based, artificial muscles enable compliant and safe technologies for human–machine interaction devices and adaptive soft robots, yet there remain long‐term challenges in the development of artificial muscles capable of mimicking flexible, controllable, and multifunctional human activity. Inspired by human limb's activity strategy, combining muscles' adjustable stiffness and joints' origami folding, controllable stiffness origami “skeletons,” which are created by laminar jamming and origami folding of multiple layers of flexible sandpaper, are embedded into a common monofunctional vacuumed‐powered cube‐shaped (CUBE) artificial muscle, thereby enabling the monofunctional CUBE artificial muscle to achieve lightweight and multifunctionality as well as controllable force/motion output without sacrificing its volume and shape. Successful demonstrations of arms self‐assembly and cooperatively gripping different objects and a “caterpillar” robot climbing different pipes illustrate high operational redundancy and high‐force output through “building blocks” assembly of multifunctional CUBE artificial muscles. Controllable stiffness origami “skeletons” offer a facile and low‐cost strategy to fabricate lightweight and multifunctional artificial muscles for numerous potential applications such as wearable assistant devices, miniature surgical instruments, and soft robots.

AbstractWith unique valley‐dependent optical and optoelectronic properties, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) are promising materials for valleytronics. Second‐harmonic generation (SHG) in 2D TMDCs monolayers has shown valley‐dependent optical selection rules. However, SHG in monolayer TMDCs is generally weak; it is important to obtain materials with both strong SHG signals and a large degree of polarization. In the work, a variety of inversion‐symmetry‐breaking (3R‐like phase) TMDCs (WSe2, WS2, MoS2) atomic layers, spiral structures, and heterostructures are prepared, and their SHG polarization is studied. Through circular‐polarization‐resolved SHG experiments, it is demonstrated that the SHG intensity is enhanced in thicker samples by breaking inversion symmetry while maintaining the degree of polarization close to unity at room temperature. By studying TMDCs with different twist angles and the spiral structures, it is found that there is no significant effect of multilayer interlayer interaction on valley‐dependent SHG. The realization of strong SHG with high degree of polarization may pave the way toward a new platform for nonlinear optical valleytronics devices based on 2D semiconductors.

Published: June 2020

AbstractPoly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) can be roll‐to‐roll deposited on the substrate facilely in the electronics, but its acidity and mismatched energy level limit the performance and stability. Herein, different metal salts are incorporated into PEDOT:PSS solution to prepare PEDOT:PSS‐AxOy (metal oxide) composite hole transport layer and it is found that the performance of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be greatly enhanced. PSC using PEDOT:PSS‐MoOx has achieved much higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) (19.64%) than that of pristine PEDOT:PSS (12.19%). Two key factors are important for the performance enhancement. First, the increased surface free energy of PEDOT:PSS‐AxOy is beneficial for the formation of large crystal size and pinhole‐free film, leading to reduced nonradiative recombination. Second, the work function of PEDOT:PSS can be tuned to match the energy level of photoactive layer with small amount incorporation, which greatly enhances the photovoltage by a factor of 1.1. Besides, the devices based on PEDOT:PSS‐AxOy exhibit improved long‐term stability. Unencapsulated PSCs with PEDOT:PSS‐MoOx retain over 90% and 80% of their initial PCEs in N2 for 45 d and in ambient air for 20 d, respectively. The modified PEDOT:PSS solutions overcome the intrinsic imperfection and can be potentially employed for large‐scale production in the electronic devices.

Published: June 2020

AbstractSurface materials with specific wettability play significant roles in existing fields from environmental protection to biomedicine. Here, a 3D droplet transport microfiber textile with slippery liquid‐infused porous surface is presented for medical drainage around wounds. The textile is fabricated by using a simple capillary microfluidic printing method to continuously spin polyurethane microfibers with liquid paraffin‐infused porous surface and print them into a 3D‐structure. Benefiting from the specific surface porous structure and oil encapsulation of the microfibers, aqueous droplets could be nondestructively and rapidly transported not only in simple single, double or multiple microfiber systems, but also in the microfibers composed stereoscopic textile through the microfluidic 3D printing. Based on this feature, it is demonstrated that the 3D slippery microfiber textile coupled with a vacuum sealing drainage therapy could significantly enhance the wound exudation drainage efficiency, reduce tissue injury, and prolong the effective service life in versatile wounds management. Thus, it is believed that the slippery microfiber textiles have potential for clinical applications.

Published: June 2020

AbstractMaterials for electronics that function as electrical and/or thermal conductors are often rigid, expensive, difficult to source, and sometimes toxic. An electrically and thermally conductive nanocomposite that is lightweight, flexible, and ecofriendly could improve the environmental friendliness of the electronics sector and enable new applications. Considering this, flexible and electrically and thermally conductive materials are fabricated by functionalizing paper with nanocarbon conductive inks. Carnauba wax is emulsified in isopropyl alcohol and mixed with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) or with hybrids of GNPs and carbon nanofibers (CNFs). The percolation threshold of the hybrid samples is lowered compared with the pure GNP composites, due to their increased filler aspect ratio. The hybrid samples also exhibit superior bending and folding stability. Densification of the coating to decrease their sheet resistance enables them to achieve as low as ≈50 Ω sq−1 for the GNP‐based paper. The densification procedure improves the bending stability, the abrasion resistance, and the electromagnetic interference shielding of the paper‐based conductors. Finally, the compressed samples show an impressive enhancement of their thermal diffusivity. The flexible and multifunctional nanocarbon coated paper is a promising electrical conductor and thermally dissipative material and, at the same time, can increase the environmental sustainability of the electronics sector.
