Effect of Combined Heat‐Moisture/Lactic Acid Treatment on the Physicochemical and In Vitro Digestibility Properties of Corn Starch
Authors: Reyes Isabel , Hernandez‐Jaimes Carmen , Meraz Monica , Vernon‐Carter E. Jaime , Alvarez‐Ramirez Jose 
Published: October 2020

AbstractNative corn starch is subjected to dual heat moisture (30 g per 100 g d.b.)/lactic acid (10 g per 100 g d.b.) treatment (HMLAx) at different temperatures (x = 90, 110, 130, and 150 °C), and is compared with heat moisture (HMx) treatment alone. Neither HMLAx nor HMx change the crystallinity type (A‐type) of the corn starch, but the relative crystallinity is lowered by 60–80%. Both treatments reduce the gelatinization enthalpy, but it is higher for HMLAx (≈70%), and induces reductions in rapidly digestible starch (up to ≈70%) and increases in slowly digestible starch (up to ≈35%) and resistant starch (RS) fractions. The variations are temperature dependent. A principal component analysis is carried out (9 formulations, 17 variables), showing that heat moisture and lactic acid act independently (p < 55%) in the modification of starch, giving rise to different physicochemical (solubility, viscoelasticity, relative crystallinity), thermal, and in vitro digestibility properties.

Published: October 2020

AbstractExperimental research on concrete creep with different strengths under various ambient relative humidity was carried out. Based on certainty creep models provided in CEB‐FIP Model Code 1990 and Model Code 2010, the Latin hypercubic sampling method was used to establish uncertainty models of concrete creep, and the sensitivity of concrete strength and ambient relative humidity to models was analyzed. Experimental results show that the creep coefficient has a negative correlation with concrete strength and ambient relative humidity, and the latter influences creep more than the former. In addition, the sensitivity of ambient relative humidity and concrete strength for CEB‐FIP MC 90 and MC 2010 models changes with the variation of coefficients. Under different environmental conditions, there is deviation between the tested creep coefficients and theoretical values by certainty creep models, while the experimental data are within the 95% confidence interval of CEB‐FIP MC 90 model, indicating that the presented numerical method for calculating the 95% confidence interval of the creep coefficient is reliable.
The Caputo‐Fabrizio heat transport law in vibration analysis of a microscale beam induced by laser
Authors: Sur Abhik , Mondal Sudip 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn the application of pulsed laser heating, such as laser hardening of metallic surfaces, conduction limited process is the dominant mechanism during the laser–workpiece interaction. As a consequence, time unsteady analysis of this problem becomes necessary. The present study examines the effect of ultra‐short‐pulsed laser heating in coupled thermoelastic vibration of a microscale beam resonator. The heat transport equation for the current problem is defined by incorporating the three‐phase‐lag heat transport law in the context of Caputo‐Fabrizio (CF) derivative. Finite sinusoidal Fourier and Laplace transform techniques have been employed to determine the lateral vibration of the beam and the temperature increment within the microscale beam. According to the graphical representations corresponding to the numerical results, conclusions about the new theory is constructed. Excellent predictive capability is demonstrated due to the presence of energy absorption depth and the order of CF derivative also.
Finite-volume and thermal effects in the leading-HVP contribution to muonic (g − 2)
Authors: Hansen M. T. , Patella A. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe leading finite-volume and thermal effects, arising in numerical lattice QCD calculations of$$ {a}_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HVP},\mathrm{LO}}\equiv {\left(g-2\right)}_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HVP},\mathrm{LO}}/2 $$aμHVP,LO≡g−2μHVP,LO/2, are determined to all orders with respect to the interactions of a generic, relativistic effective field theory of pions. In contrast to earlier work [1] based in the finite-volume Hamiltonian, the results presented here are derived by formally summing all Feynman diagrams contributing to the Euclidean electromagnetic-current two-point function, with any number of internal pion loops and interaction vertices. As was already found in ref. [1], the leading finite-volume corrections to$$ {a}_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HVP},\mathrm{LO}} $$aμHVP,LOscale as exp[−mL] wheremis the pion mass andLis the length of the three periodic spatial directions. In this work we additionally control the two sub-leading exponentials, scaling as exp[−$$ \sqrt{2} $$2mL] and exp[−$$ \sqrt{3} $$3mL]. As with the leading term, the coefficient of these is given by the forward Compton amplitude of the pion, meaning that all details of the effective theory drop out of the final result. Thermal effects are additionally considered, and found to be sub-percent-level for typical lattice calculations. All finite-volume corrections are presented both for$$ {a}_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HVP},\mathrm{LO}} $$aμHVP,LOand for each time slice of the two-point function, with the latter expected to be particularly useful in correcting small to intermediate current separations, for which the series of exponentials exhibits good convergence.

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate whether bone mineral density (BMD) as measured in planning computed tomographies (CTs) by a new method is a risk factor for pelvic insufficiency fractures (PIF) after radio(chemo)therapy (R(C)T) for cervical cancer.

Methods
62 patients with cervical cancer who received definitive or adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy between 2013 and 2017 were reviewed. The PIF were detected on follow-up magntic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI of the PIF patients was registered to the planning CT and the PIF contoured. On the contralateral side of the fracture, a mirrored structure of the fracture was generated (mPIF). For the whole sacral bone, three lumbar vertebrae, the first and second sacral vertebrae, and the PIF, we analyzed the BMD (mg/cm3), V50Gy, Dmean, and Dmax.

Results
Out of 62 patients, 6 (9.7%) had a fracture. Two out of the 6 patients had a bilateral fracture with only one of them being symptomatic. PIF patients showed a significantly lower BMD in the sacral and the lumbar vertebrae (p < 0.05). The BMD of the contoured PIF, however, when comparing to the mPIF, did not reach significance (p < 0.49). The difference of the V50Gy of the sacrum in the PIF group compared to the other (OTH) patients, i.e. those without PIF, did not reach significance.

Conclusion
The dose does not seem to have a relevant impact on the incidence of PIF in our patients. One of the predisposing factors for developing PIF after radiotherapy seems to be the low BMD. We presented an easy method to assess the BMD in planning CTs.

The leading order singular behavior is described by an explicit collapsing solution of the pressureless Euler–Poisson system.

AbstractObjectiveTo retrospectively evaluate if texture-based radiomics features are able to detect interstitial lung disease (ILD) and to distinguish between the different disease stages in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in comparison with mere visual analysis of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).MethodsSixty patients (46 females, median age 56 years) with SSc who underwent HRCT of the thorax were retrospectively analyzed. Visual analysis was performed by two radiologists for the presence of ILD features. Gender, age, and pulmonary function (GAP) stage was calculated from clinical data (gender, age, pulmonary function test). Data augmentation was performed and the balanced dataset was split into a training (70%) and a testing dataset (30%). For selecting variables that allow classification of the GAP stage, single and multiple logistic regression models were fitted and compared by using the Akaike information criterion (AIC). Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated from the area under the curve (AUC) from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, and diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were calculated.ResultsValues for some radiomics features were significantly lower (p< 0.05) and those of other radiomics features were significantly higher (p= 0.001) in patients with GAP2 compared with those in patients with GAP1. The combination of two specific radiomics features in a multivariable model resulted in the lowest AIC of 10.73 with an AUC of 0.96, 84% sensitivity, and 99% specificity. Visual assessment of fibrosis was inferior in predicting individual GAP stages (AUC 0.86; 83% sensitivity; 74% specificity).ConclusionThe correlation of radiomics with GAP stage, but not with the visually defined features of ILD-HRCT, implies that radiomics might capture features indicating severity of SSc-ILD on HRCT, which are not recognized by visual analysis.Key Points• Radiomics features can predict GAP stage with a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of almost 100%.• Extent of fibrosis on HRCT and a combined model of different visual HRCT-ILD features perform worse in predicting GAP stage.• The correlation of radiomics with GAP stage, but not with the visually defined features of ILD-HRCT, implies that radiomics might capture features on HRCT, which are not recognized by visual analysis.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe multiferroic (ferroelectric–ferromagnetic) composites (PFN–ferrite) based on ferroelectromagnetic PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3 powder and ferrite powder (zinc–nickel ferrite, NiZnFeO4) were obtained in the presented study. The ceramic PFN–ferrite composites consisted of 90% powder PFN material and 10% powder NiZnFeO4 ferrite. The ceramic powders were synthesized by the classical technological method using powder calcination, while densification of the composite powders (sintering) was carried by two different methods: (1) free sintering method (FS) and (2) spark plasma sintering (SPS). The composite PFN–ferrite samples were thermally tested, including DC electrical conductivity and dielectric properties. Besides, XRD, SEM, EDS (energy-dispersive spectrometry) and ferroelectric properties (hysteresis loop) of the composite samples were tested at room temperature. At the work, a comparison was made for the results measured for PFN–ferrite composite samples obtained by two methods. The X-ray examination of multiferroic ceramic composites confirmed the occurrence of the strong diffraction peaks derived from ferroelectric (PFN) matrix of composite as well as weak peaks induced by the ferrite component. At the same time, the studies showed the absence of other undesired phases. The results presented in this work revealed that the ceramic composite obtained by two different technological sintering methods (free sintering method and spark plasma sintering technique) can be the promising materials for functional applications, for example, in sensors for magnetic and electric fields.
Solar Flare Build-Up and Release
Authors: Hudson Hugh S. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractFlares and coronal mass ejections should follow a pattern of build-up and release, with the build-up phase understood as the gradual addition of stress to the coronal magnetic field. Recently Hudson (Mon. Not. Roy. Astron. Soc.491, 4435, 2020) presented observational evidence for this pattern in two isolated active regions from 1997 and 2006, finding a correlation between the waiting time after the event, and the event magnitude. In this article we systematically search for related evidence in the largest 14 active regions of Solar Cycle 24, chosen as those with peak sunspot area exceeding 1000 millionths of the solar hemisphere (MSH). The smallest of these regions, NOAA 12673, produced the exceptional flares SOL2017-09-06 and SOL2017-09-10. None of these regions showed significant correlations of waiting times and flare magnitudes, although two hinted at such an interval-size relationship. Correlations thus appear to be non-existent or intermittent, depending on presently unknown conditions.
Experimental and Data Analysis Considerations for Three-Dimensional Mass Spectrometry Imaging in Biomedical Research

Published: October 2020

AbstractMass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables the visualization of molecular distributions on complex surfaces. It has been extensively used in the field of biomedical research to investigate healthy and diseased tissues. Most of the MSI studies are conducted in a 2D fashion where only a single slice of the full sample volume is investigated. However, biological processes occur within a tissue volume and would ideally be investigated as a whole to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the spatial and molecular complexity of biological samples such as tissues and cells. Mass spectrometry imaging has therefore been expanded to the 3D realm whereby molecular distributions within a 3D sample can be visualized. The benefit of investigating volumetric data has led to a quick rise in the application of single-sample 3D-MSI investigations. Several experimental and data analysis aspects need to be considered to perform successful 3D-MSI studies. In this review, we discuss these aspects as well as ongoing developments that enable 3D-MSI to be routinely applied to multi-sample studies.

Published: October 2020

AbstractMyocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle, diagnosed by histological, immunological, and immunohistochemical criteria. Endomyocardial biopsy represents the diagnostic gold standard for its diagnosis but is infrequently used. Due to its noninvasive ability to detect the presence of myocardial edema, hyperemia and necrosis/fibrosis, Cardiac MR imaging is routinely used in the clinical practice for the diagnosis of acute myocarditis. Recently pixel-wise mapping of T1 and T2 relaxation time have been introduced into the clinical Cardiac MR protocol increasing its accuracy. Our paper will review the role of MR imaging in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis.

Published: October 2020

AbstractPurposeThe JIGSAWS dataset is a fixed dataset of robot-assisted surgery kinematic data used to develop predictive models of skill. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships of self-defined skill level with global rating scale scores and kinematic data (time, path length and movements) from three exercises (suturing, knot-tying and needle passing) (right and left hands) in the JIGSAWS dataset.MethodsGlobal rating scale scores are reported in the JIGSAWS dataset and kinematic data were calculated using ROVIMAS software. Self-defined skill levels are in the dataset (novice, intermediate, expert). Correlation coefficients (global rating scale-skill level and global rating scale-kinematic parameters) were calculated. Kinematic parameters were compared among skill levels.ResultsGlobal rating scale scores correlated with skill in the knot-tying exercise (r = 0.55,p = 0.0005). In the suturing exercise, time, path length (left) and movements (left) were significantly different (p < 0.05) for novices and experts. For knot-tying, time, path length (right and left) and movements (right) differed significantly for novices and experts. For needle passing, no kinematic parameter was significantly different comparing novices and experts. The only kinematic parameter that correlated with global rating scale scores is time in the knot-tying exercise.ConclusionGlobal rating scale scores weakly correlate with skill level and kinematic parameters. The ability of kinematic parameters to differentiate among self-defined skill levels is inconsistent. Additional data are needed to enhance the dataset and facilitate subset analyses and future model development.
Die akademische Institutionalisierung der soziologischen Lehre in Köln
Authors: Wagner Michael , Wittmaack Moritz 
Published: October 2020

ZusammenfassungEs gibt zahlreiche Arbeiten, die sich der Institutionalisierung der Soziologie an deutschen Universitäten widmen. Allerdings zeichnen nur wenige Beiträge die frühe Entwicklung der soziologischen Lehre nach und fragen, wer die Studierenden waren, die Soziologie studierten, als sie sich zu etablieren begann. Wir konzentrieren uns hierzu auf die Kölner Soziologie, wo Leopold von Wiese schon vor der Neugründung der Kölner Universität im Jahr 1919 in der Städtischen Handelshochschule Lehrveranstaltungen mit soziologischen Themen anbot. Eine Besonderheit ist, dass in den 1920er-Jahren soziologische Lehrstühle an zwei Fakultäten eingerichtet wurden: der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftlichen und der Philosophischen Fakultät. Die soziologischen Lehrveranstaltungen nahmen bis zum Sommersemester 1924 zu und verblieben dann auf einem Niveau von fünf bis sieben Veranstaltungen pro Semester. Die Studierenden kamen größtenteils aus dem bürgerlichen Milieu. Das noch wenig institutionalisierte Studium bot den Studierenden große Freiräume; wer mit einem soziologischen Thema sein Studium abschließen wollte, konnte mit im Vergleich zu heute wenig Aufwand promovieren.
Handeln, Kritik, Verständigung
Authors: Pöttker Horst 
Published: October 2020

ZusammenfassungAuch hundert Jahre nach Max Webers Tod können Kommunikationswissenschaft und Journalismus noch von ihm lernen: Sein grundlegender Begriff des sozialen Handelns stützt Legitimität und Chancen realistischer Medienkritik; sein Konzept einer großen Presse-Erhebung blickt umfassender auf öffentliche Kommunikationsprozesse als spätere Formeln und Modelle; seine Ethik-Vorstellungen fördern eine zivilisierte Grundhaltung des Abwägens in Politik, Wissenschaft und Journalismus; seine auf Rationalitätsbegriffe fixierte Typologie von Handlungsweisen regt zu einer Erweiterung an, die Grundprobleme sozialer Selbstregulierung besser erkennbar werden und u. a. auch durch nachhaltige Medienkommunikation lösbar erscheinen lässt; und sein Konzept einer verstehenden Soziologie weist ein halbes Jahrhundert vor Habermas auf die praktische Bedeutung des Erkenntnisinteresses an Verständigung hin, dem historisch-hermeneutische Disziplinen zu dienen haben. Die Argumentation verfolgt die These, dass der Wert eines Klassikers wie Max Weber vor allem darin liegt, bei fortschreitender Ausdifferenzierung und Parzellierung auch der (Kommunikations‑)Wissenschaft selbst den Blick für gesellschaftliche Zusammenhänge von Medienphänomenen nicht zu verlieren.
Female-Oriented Male-Male Erotica: Comparison of the Engaged Anglophone Demographic and That of the Greater China Area
Authors: Madill Anna , Zhao Yao 
Published: October 2020

AbstractOur aim is to compare comprehensive data on the engaged demographics of female-oriented male-male erotica in Anglophone regions and that of the greater China area. Our study constitutes the largest such data set in each region (Anglophone N = 1707; Chinese N = 1498). Data were analysed from our online Boys’ Love (BL) fandom survey: one version in English and an almost identical version in Chinese. We confirm that the engaged Anglophone demographic includes more men, people with a wider range of sexual orientations, lower proportion of heterosexual identification, and a wider and older age range. We provide greater detail than ever before and demonstrate engagement with BL by young straight men and questioning of sexual identity by female fans, at least in the Anglophone West. Finally, we provide novel evidence that a broad demographic of young people in the greater China area is familiar with BL as a casual interest in contrast to Anglophone regions where it is more of an intense and niche pass-time. We offer important insights into a global erotic entertainment by-and-for women which is influencing the mainstream but under increasing legislative scrutiny.
Local explanation in historiography of science
Authors: Virmajoki Veli 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn this paper, I offer an explication of the notion of local explanation. In the literature, local explanations are considered as metaphysically and methodologically satisfactory: local explanations reveal the contingency of science and provide a methodologically sound historiography of science. However, the lack of explication of the notion of local explanation makes these claims difficult to assess. The explication provided in this paper connects the degree of locality of an explanans to the degree of contingency of the explanandum. Moreover, the explication is shown to be compatible with the methodological need for a general consideration in the historiography of science. In this way, the explication (i) satisfies the need to explicate an important notion, (ii) connects local explanations and contingency, and (iii) enables us to see how local explanations and general considerations can be connected. However, the explication also sheds critical light on many claims and expectations that are associated with local explanations and their satisfactoriness.
