Published: December 2020

Introduction: Preoperative anemia in patients undergoing a two-stage septic revision arthroplasty may be a factor of reinfection, even in the presence of aggressive antimicrobial therapy. Patient Blood Management (PBM) in such patients is challenging. We evaluate the impact of anemia existing before re-implantation on a failure rate after two-stage septic total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), and explore feasibility of a PBM strategy implementation in these patients. Materials and methods: A retrospective study of patients from January 2010 to January 2015 in a French regional referral center was performed. Patients undergoing a two-stage rTKA for infection after successful primary TKA were identified and followed up to 31.12.2018. The primary outcome (failure) was defined as surgical site infection after re-implantation requiring new surgery. The secondary outcomes were time to failure, the time between explantation/reimplantation, transfusion rate during the second stage. Preoperative anemia was defined as Hb level < 12 g/L before the re-implantation. Results: 69 patients were identified; 17 (24%) developed reinfection of rTKA in 105 [11.4–156] days. In these patients pre-implantation anemia was more frequent (n = 13(76.5%) in failed vs. n = 21(40%) in non-failed, p = 0.0110). During the explantation stage, there were no significant group differences in age, sex, comorbidity, type of spacer and antimicrobial therapy, iron supplementation, or transfusion rate. The median time between explantation/reimplantation surgery was 51 [43–71.5] days, indifferent between the two groups. Intraoperative transfusion during reimplantation was required in 12 (17%) patients, more frequent in failed patients. None of the patients had contraindications for the PBM strategy except the cell-saver use. Conclusion: In two-stage septic rTKA preoperative anemia was almost two times more frequent and associated with an elevated rate of septic failure. The time-frame between explantation and-re-implantation is sufficient to implement a PBM strategy for all anemic patients. Before-after studies would be of interest to determine the best PBM strategy to prevent anemia-associated septic failure in such a condition.

AbstractA method for dirhodium-catalyzed C(sp3)–H amidation of N,N-dimethylanilines was developed. Chemoselective C(sp3)–H amidation of N-methyl group proceeded exclusively in the presence of C(sp2)–H bonds of the electron-rich aromatic ring. Site-selective C(sp3)–H amidation proceeded exclusively at the N-methyl group of N-methyl-N-alkylaniline derivatives with secondary, tertiary, and benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds α to a nitrogen atom.

Published: December 2020

AbstractIn the setting of postcoarctation aortic repair, Dacron graft dilatation and late aneurysms are not uncommon. Reintervention usually involves redo open surgery and replacement of the aneurysmal graft or the pseudoaneurysmal suture line. The present case describes the endovascular repair of a Dacron anastomotic false aneurysm in an extra-anatomic ascending-to-descending aortic bypass, 19 years after surgical correction of aortic recoarctation.
Testing the drift-diffusion model
Authors: Fudenberg Drew , Newey Whitney , Strack Philipp , Strzalecki Tomasz 
Published: December 2020

SignificanceThe drift-diffusion model (DDM) has been widely used in psychology and neuroeconomics to explain observed patterns of choices and response times. This paper provides an identification and characterization theorems for this model: We show that the parameters are uniquely pinned down and determine which datasets are consistent with some form of DDM. We then develop a statistical test of the model based on finite datasets using spline estimation. These results establish the empirical content of the model and provide a way for researchers to see when it is applicable.

Abstract

Drosophila suzukii
(Matsumura) is native to East Asia but has widely established in the Americas and Europe, where it is a devastating pest of soft-skinned fruits. It has a wide host range and these non-crop habitats harbor the fly which then repeatedly reinvades crop fields. Biological control in non-crop habitats could be the cornerstone for sustainable management at the landscape level. Toward this goal, researchers have developed or investigated biological control tactics. We review over 100 studies, conducted in the Americas, Asia and Europe on natural enemies of

. Two previous reviews provided an overview of potential natural enemies and detailed accounts on foreign explorations. Here, we provide an up-to-date list of known or evaluated parasitoids, predators and entomopathogens (pathogenic fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses) and summarize research progress to date. We emphasize a systematic approach toward the development of biological control strategies that can stand alone or be combined with more conventional control tools. Finally, we propose a framework for the integrated use of biological control tools, from classical biological control with host-specific Asian parasitoids, to augmentative and conservation biological control with indigenous natural enemies, to the use of entomopathogens. This review provides a roadmap to foster the use of biological control tools in more sustainable

Monotonicity Principle in tomography of nonlinear conducting materials

Published: December 2020

Abstract
We treat an inverse electrical conductivity problem which deals with the reconstruction of nonlinear electrical conductivity starting from boundary measurements in steady currents operations. In this framework, a key role is played by the Monotonicity Principle, which establishes a monotonic relation connecting the unknown material property to the (measured) Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (DtN). Monotonicity Principles are the foundation for a class of non-iterative and real-time imaging methods and algorithms. In this article, we prove that the monotonicity principle for the Dirichlet Energy in nonlinear problems holds under mild assumptions. Then, we show that apart from linear and p-Laplacian cases, it is impossible to transfer this monotonicity result from the Dirichlet Energy to the DtN operator. To overcome this issue, we introduce a new boundary operator, identified as an average DtN operator.
Adaptive regularisation for ensemble Kalman inversion
Authors: Iglesias Marco , Yang Yuchen 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We propose a new regularisation strategy for the classical ensemble Kalman inversion (EKI) framework. The strategy consists of: (i) an adaptive choice for the regularisation parameter in the update formula in EKI, and (ii) criteria for the early stopping of the scheme. In contrast to existing approaches, our parameter choice does not rely on additional tuning parameters which often have severe effects on the efficiency of EKI. We motivate our approach using the interpretation of EKI as a Gaussian approximation in the Bayesian tempering setting for inverse problems. We show that our parameter choice controls the symmetrised Kullback–Leibler divergence between consecutive tempering measures. We further motivate our choice using a heuristic statistical discrepancy principle. We test our framework using electrical impedance tomography with the complete electrode model. Parameterisations of the unknown conductivity are employed which enable us to characterise both smooth or a discontinuous (piecewise-constant) fields. We show numerically that the proposed regularisation of EKI can produce efficient, robust and accurate estimates, even for the discontinuous case which tends to require larger ensembles and more iterations to converge. We compare the proposed technique with a standard method of choice and demonstrate that the proposed method is a viable choice to address computational efficiency of EKI in practical/operational settings.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
In the past decades, metamaterial light absorbers have attracted tremendous attention due to their impressive absorption efficiency and significant potential for multiple kinds of applications. However, the conventional noble metals based metamaterial and nanomaterial absorbers always suffer from the structural damage by the local high temperature resulting from the strong plasmonic photo-thermal effects. To address this challenge, intensive research has been conducted to develop the absorbers which can realize efficient light absorption and simultaneously keep the structural stability under high temperatures. In this review, we present detail discussion on the refractory materials which can provide robust thermal stability and high performance for light absorption. Moreover, promising theoretical designs and experimental demonstrations that possess excellent features are also reviewed, including broadband strong light absorption, high temperature durability, and even the easy-to-fabricate configuration. Some applications challenges and prospects of refractory materials based plasmonic perfect absorbers are also introduced and discussed.

Published: December 2020

AbstractWe assessed the effects of ultra dry-air plasma surface treatments on the properties of Al2O3-GPTMS-PMMA hybrid dielectric layers for applications to high-performance amorphous Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs). The hybrid layers were deposited by an easy dip coating sol-gel process at low temperature and then treated with dry-air plasma at 1, 2 and 3 consecutive cycles. Their properties were analyzed as a function of the number of plasma cycles and contrasted with those of the untreated ones. The dielectric characteristics of the hybrid layers were determined fromI–VandC–fmeasurements performed on metal–insulator–metal and metal–insulator–semiconductor devices. The results show that the plasma treatments increase the surface energy and wettability of the hybrid films. There is also a reduction of the OH groups and oxygen vacancies in the hybrid network improving the dielectric properties. The incorporation of nitrogen into the hybrid films surface is also observed. The plasma-treated hybrid dielectric layers were applied as dielectric gate in the fabrication of a-IGZO TFTs. The best electrical performance of the fabricated TFTs was achieved with the 3 cycles plasma-treated hybrid dielectric gate, showing high mobility, 29.3 cm2V−1s−1, low threshold voltage, 2.9 V, highION/OFFcurrent ratio, 106, and low subthreshold swing of 0.42 V dec−1.

Abstract
Through time-dependent defect spectroscopy and low-frequency noise measurements, we investigate and characterize the differences of carrier trapping processes occurred by different interfaces (top/sidewall) of the gate-all-around silicon nanosheet field-effect transistor (GAA SiNS FET). In a GAA SiNS FET fabricated by the top-down process, the traps at the sidewall interface significantly affect the device performance as the width decreases. Compare to expectations, as the width of the device decreases, the subthreshold swing (SS) increases from 120 to 230 mV/dec, resulting in less gate controllability. In narrow-width devices, the effect of traps located at the sidewall interface is significantly dominant, and the 1/f
2 noise, also known as generation–recombination (G–R) noise, is clearly appeared with an increased time constant (τ

i
). In addition, the probability density distributions for the normalized current fluctuations (ΔI
D) show only one Gaussian in wide-width devices, whereas they are separated into four Gaussians with increased in narrow-width devices. Therefore, fitting is performed through the carrier number fluctuation-correlated with mobility fluctuations model that separately considered the effects of sidewall. In narrow-width GAA SiNS FETs, consequently, the extracted interface trap densities (N

T
) distribution becomes more dominant, and the scattering parameter (

) distribution increases by more than double.
Second harmonic generation from metal nanoparticle dimer: an analytical approach in dipole approximation
Authors: Kheirandish Asef , Javan Nasser Sepehri , Mohammadzadeh Hosein 
Published: December 2020

AbstractIn this theoretical study, the problem of Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) in the interaction of laser beam with a Metallic Nanoparticle (MNP) dimer is considered. Using a classical electrodynamics approach, the nonlinear interaction of laser beam fields with Nanoparticles (NPs) is considered taking into account the dipole-dipole interparticle interactions. Analytical formulae are derived for the effect of dipole-dipole interaction on the Second Harmonic (SH) radiation power for two different polarizations of laser beam. It is found that the interaction causes the substantial enhancement of the SH radiation power while for the case when the laser beam field is parallel to the dimer axis, this enhancement is larger. Additionally, the dipole-dipole interaction of NPs leads to the redshift of the peak value with respect to the individual NP radiation. The resonance frequency displacement of the parallel case is more than that of the perpendicular one. The effect of particles size and interparticle separation on the SHG is studied.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The relevance of this work is supported by the need to ensure the professional training compliance with both formal and informal requirements of the education system and the labour market. A lack of methods and technologies being able to harmonize the outcome of the information technologies curriculum and the labour market demands is the reason why the university graduates find it difficult to compete on the labour market. The paper describes the method for an ontological model development that would be able to form the content of the IT-competencies and to assess them in the university students. It is based on two thesis: the first, the boundaries of the subject area of competencies should be defined and, the second, a method of taking into account individual characteristics and needs for creation of an individual professional training and self-study plan should be preliminary considered and developed. The article presents the ontological model developed by the stated method to form the content of the IT-competencies and to assess them for the case of the subject area of 1C: Enterprise platform business solutions. The knowledge base created by the ontological model can be integrated into the decision-making intelligence information systems intended for the sphere of education, corporate training and HR management. This article is aimed at the professionals developing new tools and methods for management of distance education and distance learning.

Abstract
Ornithological research on natural science education develops creative activity, independence, logical thinking, responsibility and initiative of students, the ability to correctly use biological methods, contribute to self-education and self-education, form an active life position. The study of the clutch size and morphometric features of great tit eggs showed their dependence on many factors that regulate the number of individuals and affect the formation of the population as a whole. The impact of exogenous factors on birds is perceived differently due to their heterogeneity, which was later expressed in the ratio of large and small clutches, a decrease in their number. The dependence of the formation of biological heterogeneity of great tit eggs in each clutch under the influence of environmental factors is established. The conducted research stimulates cognitive interest, activates mental activity, memory, attention, using a variety of form and content of ornithological methods that contribute to the formation of the foundations of worldview and moral experience of relationships with the environment.
