Authors: Sharma Meenu , Gaur Anurag 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThis study reports a unique graphitic-C3N4 supported ZnCo2O4 composite, synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method to enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrode. The g-C3N4@ZnCo2O4 hybrid composite based electrode exhibits a significant increase in specific surface area and maximum specific capacity of 157 mAhg−1 at 4 Ag−1. Moreover, g-C3N4@ZnCo2O4 electrode maintained significant capacity retention of 90% up to 2500 cycles. Utilizing this composite in the development of the symmetric device, g-C3N4@ZnCo2O4//g-C3N4@ZnCo2O4 displays a specific capacity of 121 mAhg−1. The device exhibits an energy density of 39 Whkg−1 with an equivalent power density of 1478 Wkg−1. A good cycling stability performance with an energy efficiency of 75% and capacity retention of 71% was observed up to 10,000 cycles. The superior performance of g-C3N4@ZnCo2O4 is attributed to the support of the g-C3N4 which increases the surface area, electroactive sites and provides chemical stability for electrochemical performance. The outstanding performance of this exclusive device symbolizes remarkable progress in the direction of high-performance energy storage applications.

AbstractOur transparent cellulose nanofibrils composites (TCNC) directly from rotary-cutting poplar veneer (RPV) whose lignin can be easily stripped by our treatment. This TCNC is prepared by stripping lignin of original RPV and infiltrating epoxy resin (ER) into delignified RPV. This TCNC with two-layer delignified RPVs whose grains perpendicular (0/90°) to each other, which were solidified on solar cell while infiltrating ER. This TCNC with high transmittance (~90%), high haze (~90%), and equal refractive index fluctuation. Comparing with epoxy resin (ER), this TCNC can enhance open circuit voltage (VOC) from 1.16 to ~1.36 and short circuit density (JSC) from 30 to ~34 for the solar cell, and can enhance test fore from 0.155 kN to ~0.185 kN and displacement from 43.6 mm to ~52.5 mm.

AbstractIn this article a new spent catalyst sample preparation method was implemented for the purpose of molybdenum leaching in a single step. Further molybdenum and vanadium in the leach liquor were separated and their concentrations were enriched using the solvent extraction and stripping techniques. The impervious sulfur (S0) layer of the spent catalyst sample was removed using carbon disulfide (CS2). The advantages of S0removal were evaluated by conducting different sets of the Mo leaching experiments and they were further examined by varying different conditions such as three lixiviants, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) addition, and three leaching parameters. The leaching rate increased in an order, e.g. acetone washed < acetone-CS2 washed < acetone washed-H2O2 < acetone-CS2 washed-H2O2, for the experimental concentration range of different lixiviants with the maximum of 94.8%(w/w) Mo dissolution in a single step. Optimization of the pulp density was important as the interaction of lixiviant molecules with multiple reacting solid particles decreased the driving force of the chemical reactions. The solvent extraction followed by the stripping technique was found to be excellent as the concentration of vanadium and molybdenum enriched from 0.55 to 1.9 M and 0.0448 to 1.08 M, respectively.

AbstractThe prognostic factors of patients who undergo radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate the role of liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) measured by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in determining the prognoses of patients with HCC after RFA. We prospectively enrolled 173 patients with HCC who underwent ARFI elastography for measurement of LS and SS on the same day of RFA. Overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) after adjusting for competing mortality, and presence of hepatic decompensation were investigated. Patients with LS > 1.5 m/s had significantly shorter OS and RFS than their counterparts. Anti-viral treatment (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.396, p = 0.015) and LS > 1.5 m/s (HR 4.105, p = 0.028) correlated with OS by a multivariate analysis. Besides, serum alpha fetoprotein >10 ng/mL and LS > 1.5 m/s independently predicted poorer RFS. On the other hand, anti-viral treatment (HR: 0.315, p = 0.010), creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL (HR: 9.447, p = 0.006), and SS > 2.7 m/s (HR: 2.869, p = 0.044) predicted a higher risk of hepatic decompensation. In conclusion, LS but not SS measured by ARFI elastography predicted tumor recurrence and OS in RFA-treated HCC; whereas, SS predicted development of hepatic decompensation in these patients.

AbstractIn order to find fraudulent species substitution in meat products, a highly sensitive and rapid assay for meat species identification and quantification is urgently needed. In this study, species-specific primers and probes were designed from the mitochondrial cytb (cytochrome b) fragment for identification and quantification of bovine ingredient in commercial meat products. Bovine samples and non-bovine ones were used to identify the specificity, sensitivity, and applicability of established assay. Results showed that the primers and probes were highly specific for bovine ingredient in meat products. The absolute detection limit of the real-time PCR method was 0.025 ng DNA, and the relative detection limit was 0.002% (w/w) of positive samples. The quantitative real-time PCR assay was validated on simulated meat samples and high in the precision and accuracy. In order to demonstrate the applicability and reliability of the proposed assay in practical products, the 22 commercial meat products including salted, jerkies, and meatball were used. The results indicated the established method has a good stability in detection of bovine ingredient in real food. The established method in this study showed specificity and sensitivity in identification and quantification of beef meat in processed meat products.

AbstractReconstruction of bone defects represents a serious issue for orthopaedic and maxillofacial surgeons, especially in extensive bone loss. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) with tri-calcium phosphates (TCP) are widely used for bone regeneration facilitating the formation of bone extracellular matrix to promote reparative osteogenesis. The present study assessed the potential of cell-scaffold constructs for the regeneration of extensive mandibular bone defects in a minipig model. Sixteen skeletally mature miniature pigs were divided into two groups: Control group and scaffolds seeded with osteogenic differentiated pADSCs (n = 8/group). TCP-PLGA scaffolds with or without cells were integrated in the mandibular critical size defects and fixed by titanium osteosynthesis plates. After 12 weeks, ADSCs seeded scaffolds (n = 7) demonstrated significantly higher bone volume (34.8% ± 4.80%) than scaffolds implanted without cells (n = 6, 22.4% ± 9.85%) in the micro-CT (p < 0.05). Moreover, an increased amount of osteocalcin deposition was found in the test group in comparison to the control group (27.98 ± 2.81% vs 17.10 ± 3.57%, p < 0.001). In conclusion, ADSCs seeding on ceramic/polymer scaffolds improves bone regeneration in large mandibular defects. However, further improvement with regard to the osteogenic capacity is necessary to transfer this concept into clinical use.

Published: February 2020

During operation of high voltage (HV) motors, different types of discharges, e.g. surface discharge, corona discharge and bar‐to‐bar discharge can occur at the same time, increasing the difficulty of partial discharge (PD) sources determination and PDs pattern identification. In this study, the end‐winding of a 10 kV motor coil was artificially aged and the related PD was measured. The initiation and variation of different PDs under multi‐factor stresses were studied. The localised fingerprints coexisting with multiple PDs were identified and analysed. The results confirm that the end‐winding discharge process was significantly influenced by the experiment relative humidity (RH) and temperature. The bar‐to‐bar discharge was easily recognised at a lower voltage since the identification of bar‐to‐bar discharge pattern would be affected by the corona discharge pattern at a higher voltage. It is shown that it is more difficult for the corona discharge to be detected when RH exceeded 80%, while the surface discharge dominated at the higher RH. In addition, the PDs were more easily identified with the rise of the temperature. This study can provide a reference in PD identification test and be useful for the PD online monitoring of HV motors.
A Short Review on the Safety of Bromphenol Blue for Dye-Assisted Vitreoretinal Interventions
Authors: Gerding Heinrich 
Published: February 2020

AbstractBromphenol blue was approved for the intraoperative staining of the vitreous, epiretinal membranes, and internal limiting membrane of the retina several years ago. It has been marketed as a combined dye formulation of bromphenol blue (1.3 mg/mL) and brilliant blue G (0.25 mg/mL). So far, comprehensive information on preclinical and clinical safety data of bromphenol blue is lacking. A PubMed analysis of available literature was performed. Ten relevant publications on preclinical and clinical evaluations of bromphenol blue were found. It is striking that almost no safety data is available on the presently used clinical product. Current clinical use seems not completely be justified by scientific safety data.

Abstract
Introduction Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) highly affect quality of life. The course of disease and success of treatment are variable. These factors result in a high number of psychiatric comorbidities with patients requiring extensive medical consultation or additional psychotherapy. Unfortunately, time is often limited in daily clinical care, which leaves patients not feeling sufficiently informed about their disease. Patients often compensate by searching the internet, with possibly harmful information. We aim to identify information gaps to allow a more complete education of patients.
Methods We analyzed the internet search behavior using the key words [Morbus Crohn] (CD) and [Colitis ulcerosa] (UC) using Google Trends. In addition, we investigated which websites are the first hits on Google, as those are most likely visited by patients.
Results Symptoms, nutrition and therapy are central topics for persons interested in IBD. The searches concerning symptoms or therapies do not match the actual incidence or prevalence of comorbidities as well as the more commonly used therapies or established nutritional recommendations. We found a distinct impact of well-known personalities on disease related searches. The first suggested websites on google showed great heterogeneity of responsible publishers, often with possible conflict of interests. In line with those observations, quality of website content is highly heterogeneous.
Conclusion This study showed a need of information concerning symptoms, nutrition and therapy that should be considered during patient education. Since time in physician patient dialogue is short it may be helpful to further evaluate websites independently in order to give recommendations of websites offering reliable information.

A Preliminary Investigation for Standardization of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Mucuna pruriens (Kapikaccu): An Important Drug Used to Treat Parkinson’s Disease in Ayurveda
Authors: Swamy Gangadhara , Holla Rajendra , Rao Suresh R. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractEstablishment of standardization for the Ayurvedic formulations is most important for its chemical compounds, biological action, and its quality reassurance in production and manufacturing of traditional herbal medicines. As most of the drugs are standardized, drug companies are using substitute drugs instead of true drugs. So, to make finest superiority drugs it is necessary to validate raw drugs. Observing the existing trend in mind, hydroalcoholic extract of Mucuna pruriens seeds (HAMP) was subjected to standardize the procedures for phytochemical tests. The separation of bioactive substances from HAMP was performed using both manual methods and high-profile thin layer chromatography. From the current study, it is revealed that the seed contains alkaloids, steroids, carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, and coumarins, which gave the medicine numerous therapeutic properties.
Neurosurgery in a Case of Suspected Prion Disease: Challenges Faced
Authors: Abdul Salam Anooja , Dubey Arvind 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThis report refers to a rare case of a patient with suspected prion disease and the steps taken for the infection control measures in postsurgical management of a large sphenoid wing meningioma. Stringent measures are needed to prevent the transmission of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) to other patients or healthcare workers. The main concern, especially in a neurosurgical case, is the handling of highly infective tissue and hence the higher risk of disease transmission. This report provides guidance based on the experience in this case, as an aid to similar surgeries.
Recycling through perspective persistence in Monsang (Trans-Himalayan)
Authors: Konnerth Linda 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
In a reported intentionality construction, intentionality is expressed as reported speech/thought (‘s/he
says/thinks, <I will go>’). The quoted clause must contain a first person form and refer to the future. Reported
intentionality displays perspective persistence and an accompanying apparent form-meaning mismatch, as it structurally marks the
speech-act participant perspective of the volitional agent despite idiomatically translating only from the perspective of the
current speaker. While this construction has been examined in languages around the world, this is the first treatment for the
Trans-Himalayan (or Sino-Tibetan/Tibeto-Burman) language family. Monsang (South-Central; Northeast India) is shown to have a
reported intentionality construction of the cross-linguistic type. In addition, there is a desiderative construction in the
language that does not display perspective persistence but is argued to reconstruct back to a reported intentionality
construction. Further evidence from synchronic and diachronic quotative constructions in Monsang is presented that illustrates the
prominence of quotative-derived expressions of intentionality in Monsang verbal morphology.
Non-propositional meanings and commitment attribution
Authors: Müller Misha-Laura 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
In this paper, I elaborate on the cognitive pragmatic approaches of commitment attribution. I argue that
non-propositional meanings (Sperber and Wilson 2015) play a role in the reconstruction
of arguments (see Oswald 2016) and I underline that this constitutes a further argument
in favor of a cognitive approach to the study of commitment attribution. I focus on an authentic example of a straw man fallacy
consisting in (a) an implicit misattribution of commitments to the speaker with the form “Excuse me for having done p” and (b) a
refutation of the attributed position by means of non-propositional effects (in this case, the refutation is implicitly conveyed
through an ironical utterance). I conclude that non-propositional effects can serve as a criterion to distinguish a mere false
attribution of commitments from a full-fledged straw man fallacy.
African languages and Spanish among Equatoguineans in Madrid
Authors: Schlumpf Sandra 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Equatoguinean immigrants in Madrid constitute an often-overlooked group in Spanish society and in the
Spanish-speaking world in general, despite the facts that Equatorial Guinea was a Spanish colony until 1968 and the Equatoguinean
community in Spain is the largest outside Guinea. This paper analyzes the use of African languages and Spanish among
Equatoguineans in Madrid: Do they maintain their African languages in Spain? When do they use them, and what is their
significance? What connection do the interviewees observe between the use of African languages and the proficiency of Spanish
spoken by different Equatoguinean ethnic groups? The results are based on ten semi-directed, sociolinguistic interviews, which
occurred in Madrid in 2017 with Equatoguineans of two ethnic groups: Bubi and Fang. They show the importance of relating data to
the contemporary as well as historical sociopolitical and cultural circumstances of Equatorial Guinea.
Teaching interpreting online for the Translation and Interpreting Degree at the University of Vic
Authors: Perramon María , Ugarte Xus 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
At a time when the advances in information and communication technologies meant that new approaches to virtual teaching and learning could be proposed, the teaching staff on the degree in Translation and Interpreting at UVic decided to offer part of the degree in distance learning mode. This learning mode was launched in the 2001–2002 academic year, with optional face-to-face teaching sessions some Saturdays and coexisted with the traditional face-to-face courses.
During the first years, the fourth-year interpreting specialisation subjects were not taught online for technical and pedagogical reasons. Since the 2014-2015 academic year, we also teach these subjects online.
The challenge that we face starting the 2017-2018 academic year is twofold:
1. To adapt the online teaching of interpreting subjects to groups with a high number of students in the new Inter-university Degree in Translation, Interpreting and Applied Languages jointly offered by the University of Vic and the Open University of Catalonia (UOC).
2. To adapt the contents and methodology of interpreting subjects to changes in professional practice: telephone and videoconference interpreting, especially in liaison interpreting.
In our paper, we will show some online teaching resources, as well as several online tools which we use in our courses.
Photon correlation transients in a weakly blockaded Rydberg ensemble

Published: February 2020

Abstract
The nonlinear and non-local effects in atomic Rydberg media under electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) make it a versatile platform for fundamental studies and applications in quantum information. In this paper, we study the dynamics of a Rydberg-EIT system in an ensemble that allows for more than one Rydberg excitation in the propagation direction. The density of two-level atoms is such that transient superradiant effects occur. We experimentally observe a cross-over between coherent collective emission (‘flash’) of two-level atoms to a Rydberg dressed regime (‘dressed flash’) under EIT condition. The complex dynamics are characterised using both intensity and time correlation measurements. We show that while steady-state EIT gives a second order correlation g
(2) = 0.79 ± 0.04, the Rydberg-dressed flash exhibits anti-bunching down to 0.2 ± 0.04.

Abstract
As a correction of the Lorentz transformation, the Magic transformation eliminates a hidden logical danger of the Lorentz transformation. With the second order square matrix, a new derivation of the Magic transformation is given. The Magic transformation may be a reasonable modification of the Lorentz transformation in theory, and it is hoped that it will arouse the attention of physicists.
Comprehensively modeling and parametric identification for speed prediction of L1B2 ultrasonic motor
Authors: Deng Yang , Zhao Gang , Yi Xingyu , Xiao Wenlei 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Ultrasonic motor is a kind of newly developed motor different from the traditional electromagnetic one, with its output is obtained by inverse piezoelectric effect and ultrasonic oscillation. As it is a complex coupling system, speed control of the motor is a quite difficult task. A comprehensive parametric model for prediction of the steady-state speed of a linear ultrasonic motor is developed in this paper. The model is derived from synthesizing coupled subsystem models, and retains physical insight into some important nonlinearities. The driving circuit employing H-bridge inverter and LC resonance is described. The vibration equations of the stator are deduced by using Hamilton’s principle. An interface friction model involving asperity based stick behavior is introduced to characterize the stick-slip-separation dynamics at the interface. Further, an effective real-time and synchronous data acquisition and transmission experimental setup based on a L1B2 ultrasonic motor actuated motion platform is established to collect data for the parametric identification, and the results validate reliability of the model.
