Visual management of medical things with an advanced color-change RFID tag
Authors: Sun Ran , Rahmadya Budi , Kong Fangyuan , Takeda Shigeki 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis paper proposes a visual management scheme of medical things with a color-change radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The color-change RFID tag employs a specific RFID tag integrated circuit (IC) and a laminated pH-indicating paper. The IC has energy harvesting and switched ground functions, which enable it to generate electricity to the laminated pH-indicating paper. This phenomenon causes electrolysis of NaCl solution absorbed in the laminated pH-indicating paper. Electrolysis generates alkaline matter to change the color of the pH-indicating paper. This paper gives a new and sensitive structure of the laminated pH-indicating paper. The proposed advanced color-change RFID tag with new laminated pH-indicating paper succeeds in changing its color noticeably at a 1 m distance using an RFID reader radiating 1 W radio waves. The color change was observed 3–5 s after starting radio wave irradiation. The results of this experiment also confirm that the changed color can be held for over 24 h. Furthermore, two demonstrations of the visual management system of medical things (patient clothes and sanitizers) are presented.
Nuclear receptors: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutics
Authors: Frigo Daniel E. , Bondesson Maria , Williams Cecilia 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Nuclear receptors are classically defined as ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate key functions in reproduction, development, and physiology. Humans have 48 nuclear receptors, which when dysregulated are often linked to diseases. Because most nuclear receptors can be selectively activated or inactivated by small molecules, they are prominent therapeutic targets. The basic understanding of this family of transcription factors was accelerated in the 1980s upon the cloning of the first hormone receptors. During the next 20 years, a deep understanding of hormone signaling was achieved that has translated to numerous clinical applications, such as the development of standard-of-care endocrine therapies for hormonally driven breast and prostate cancers. A 2004 issue of this journal reviewed progress on elucidating the structures of nuclear receptors and their mechanisms of action. In the current issue, we focus on the broad application of new knowledge in this field for therapy across diverse disease states including cancer, cardiovascular disease, various inflammatory diseases, the aging brain, and COVID-19.
Intersystem fault between MMC‐HVDC and AC systems and its impact on DC/AC protection
Authors: Wang Wenbo , Li Bin , Li Botong , He Jiawei , Yao Bin , Liu Yimin 
Published: November 2021

AbstractFlexible DC and AC transmission lines can be arranged across vertically or sharing transmission corridor. Under this condition, the possibility of intersystem fault increases significantly, which endangers the safety of both DC and AC systems. Here, the intersystem fault between bipolar half‐bridge MMC‐HVDC system and AC system is analysed. The reliability of DC wavefront protection after intersystem fault is analysed based on initial traveling wave, while the reliability of DC intersystem fault protection and AC protection is analysed based on 50 Hz component characteristics. Since wavefront protection cannot be guaranteed to operate reliably, intersystem fault protection based on 50 Hz components is applied to DC system to reliably detect intersystem faults and isolate the fault by commanding DC circuit breaker to trip. Although current differential relaying and zero‐sequence overcurrent relaying in AC system can reliably detect intersystem faults, a large DC offset prevents effective fault isolation of AC circuit breaker. This highlights the necessity of MMC‐HVDC system to reliably isolate intersystem faults.
Hierarchical broad learning system for hyperspectral image classification
Authors: Xiao Guangrun , Wei Yantao , Yao Huang , Deng Wei , Xu Jiazhen , Pan Donghui 
Published: November 2021

AbstractA new spectral‐spatial hyperspectral image (HSI) classification method called hierarchical broad learning system (HBLS) has been proposed in this paper. Specifically, it combines wavelet, broad learning system (BLS) and Gabor filters into a hierarchical structure. First of all, wavelet is used to reduce the observation noise of HSIs. Then BLS is adopted to acquire a set of pixelwise probability maps from the input data, and Gabor filters are used to explore spatial information by refining these probability maps. These two operations (BLS and Gabor filtering) are alternated to form a hierarchical architecture. And the discriminative spectral‐spatial features can be extracted at each layer of the hierarchical architecture. Finally, the spectral‐spatial features are fed into the standard BLS for classification. Experimental results on three widely used HSIs reveal that HBLS outperforms some state‐of‐the‐art methods in terms of classification accuracy and sample complexity.
OsaMOT: Occlusion and scale‐aware multi‐object tracking algorithm for low viewpoint
Authors: Yue Yingying , Xu Dan , He Kangjian , Shi Hongzhen , Zhang Hao 
Published: November 2021

AbstractMulti‐object tracking (MOT), which uses the context information of image sequences to locate, maintain identities and generate trajectories of multiple targets in each frame, is key technology in the field of computer vision. To address the problems of occlusion and scale variation in low‐viewpoint MOT, OsaMOT is proposed here. First, according to the global occlusion state of each frame, OsaMOT proposes the adaptive anti‐occlusion feature to enhance the awareness and adaptability for occlusion. At the same time, OsaMOT uses the cascade screening mechanism to reduce the “virtual new target” phenomenon due to the dramatic change in target features caused by scale variation and occlusion. Finally, considering that the occluded templates will affect the tracking performance, OsaMOT proposes an adaptive anti‐noise template update mechanism according to the partial occlusion state of the target, which improves the purity of the template library and further enhances the applicability to occlusion. The experimental results show that OsaMOT can weaken the influence of scale variation, partial occlusion, short‐term full occlusion and long‐term full occlusion in the low‐viewpoint tracking scenes. Most evaluation indexes of OsaMOT under low‐viewpoint tracking scenario are superior to those of some typical algorithms proposed in recent years, and the tracking robustness is improved.
High‐gain combined buck‐boost‐Cuk converter with coupled inductance
Authors: Rong Desheng , Wang Ning , Sun Xuanjin , Dong Haoran 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis article proposes a current step‐up converter for high‐gain applications by combining a buck‐boost converter and a Cuk converter to form a buck‐boost‐Cuk converter with a shared input terminal. In order to further improve the performance of the converter and reduce the number of components, the primary side and secondary side of the coupled inductor are respectively connected to different branches, so that the diode‐capacitor branch in this structure could be used as a voltage doubler branch, and performed as a passive clamp circuit to absorb leakage inductance energy, which suppressed the voltage spike generated by the parasitic capacitance and the leakage inductance of the resonance; to some extent, it reduced the voltage stress of the power switch. This paper analyzed the operating principle and performance of the converter, then made the parameter design for the proposed converter, and compared the performance of different converter systems. At last, this paper built a 150 W experimental prototype to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.
Effective demand response and GANs for optimal constraint unit commitment in solar‐tidal based microgrids

Published: November 2021

AbstractA new approach for optimal demand response program (DRP) in the microgrid considering the high penetration of the solar energy and tidal units as significant and popular renewable sources in the system is proposed here. The proposed method makes use of a multi‐objective problem (MOP) to not only minimize the total operation cost of the scheduling problem but also mitigate the high risk of the interruption in power delivery due to the components failure rate and long repairing rates. Considering the high complexity and nonlinearity of the formulation, a novel heuristic method based on the firefly algorithm is introduced to solve the problem without any assumption or killing the accuracy. In addition, a dynamic three‐phase correction (DPC) formulation is proposed which can help to increase the global search characteristics of the method when boosting the convergence capability of the model. Due to the hard predictability nature of the solar irradiance, a deep learning model based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) is presented to predict the output power of the solar and tidal units properly. The high performance and feasibility of the proposed multi‐layer problem are assessed on an IEEE test system.
Three dimensional motion camouflage guidance utilizing multiple leaders and one interceptor
Authors: Kim Jonghoek 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis study presents a three dimensional guidance control to intercept a manoeuvring evader. In this study, the authors introduce passive sensing systems, which can move to track the evader, so that the evader cannot escape from the mobile sensing systems. Passive sensing systems composed of multiple aerial vehicles, called leaders, are considered. This study utilizes multiple leaders and one interceptor, which can localize themselves. The interceptor is guided to chase the evader, so that the line connecting the interceptor and the evader does not rotate. The leaders acquire 3‐D angle‐of‐arrival (AOA) measurements of the evader to estimate the evader's 3‐D global coordinate in real time. The leaders are controlled, so that they maximize the information gain from AOA measurements of the evader. The leaders approach the estimated evader, while decreasing the estimate error by changing the formation adaptively. Based on the estimated evader, the interceptor's guidance law is calculated utilizing a leader's on‐board computer and is transmitted to the interceptor in almost real time. To the best of our knowledge, this study is novel in developing multi‐agent control to chase a manoeuvring evader based on leaders' AOA measurements. The effectiveness of the multi‐agent control is shown under computer simulations.

Published: November 2021

AbstractThe lack of labelled data presents a common challenge in many fault diagnosis and machine learning tasks. It requires the model to be able to efficiently capture useful fault features from a smaller amount of labelled data. In this paper, a method to train multiple convolutional auto‐encoders by self‐learning method and integrate them using ensemble learning, called ensemble self‐taught learning convolutional auto‐encoders (STL‐CAEs), is proposed, which can effectively extract features of bearing vibration signals. First, an ensemble learning strategy is proposed to obtain two auto‐encoders that satisfy the strategy by optimizing the model parameters and structure. Then, a self‐taught learning training method is proposed to solve the problem of little label data. Finally, ensemble learning and fault diagnosis is achieved by the SoftMax classifier. Applying the proposed method to the bearing data from Case Western Reserve University, the STL‐CAEs have higher accuracy and generalization than common fault diagnosis methods such as CAE, CNN, SAE and EMD, and also have significant advantages in terms of diagnostic time and training time.
A testing method with steep impact voltage inspecting the internal defects in EMU roof cable termination

Published: November 2021

AbstractA high‐voltage cable terminal on the roof of a high‐speed electric multiple unit operates in an intermittent impact load environment. The internal defects of the cable terminal are accelerated and are likely to cause insulation failure. Therefore, in this study, a steep impact voltage method is proposed to identify defective cable termination and establish a thermal and electric field model of the cable termination to analyse the defect development process. The results demonstrated that the interface performance of the cable terminal decreased after operation, and the internal insulation broke down under a steep‐wave impulse voltage. Under the operating voltage, there was an electric field concentration at the interface between the stress layer and the insulation layer of the cable terminal that can cause partial discharge within the defect located in this part. The thermal field distortion at the cable terminal joint was obvious, and the resulting air gap reduced the interface performance. Field distortion aggravates the insulation damage under frequent thermal shock and causes insulation accidents. This study provides an experimental reference and theoretical basis for the design and operation of cable terminations.

Diabetes, Durchblutung und Diabetischer Fuß
Authors: Sigl Martin , Amendt Klaus 
Published: November 2021

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDiabetes mellitus (DM) gehört neben Rauchen, arteriellem Hypertonus und Hyperlipoproteinämie zu den Hauptrisikofaktoren der peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit (pAVK). Mit zunehmender Diabetesdauer nehmen mikro- und makrovaskuläre Veränderungen zu. Die finale Komplikation am Bein, sowohl der pAVK als auch des diabetischen Fußsyndroms (DFS) ist die Ober- oder Unterschenkelamputation (Majoramputation). Eine pAVK erhöht das Risiko einer Wundheilungsstörung, Infektion und Amputation. Bei Patienten mit DM wird daher die regelmäßige Erhebung des Gefäßstatus empfohlen. Absolut notwendig ist sie bei allen Patienten mit DFS. Die wichtigste Untersuchung ist die farbkodierte Duplexsonografie (FKDS) der Beinarterien. Zu den klinischen Zeichen der Polyneuropathie (PNP) gehören Muskelatrophien und Hyperkeratosen. Häufig liegt bei DFS-Patienten mit Fußulzera eine reduzierte oder fehlende Schmerzempfindung (Nozizeption) vor. Bei Patienten mit DM und pAVK steht neben der Therapie vaskulärer Risikofaktoren und Begleiterkrankungen die Verbesserung des peripheren Blutflusses bei symptomatischen Patienten im Vordergrund. Bei Vorliegen eines DFS sind die Infektbekämpfung, Druckentlastung und Revaskularisation Hauptsäulen der Therapie. Die Nachsorge umfasst die Stoffwechselkontrolle, die regelmäßige Durchblutungskontrolle sowie die protektive podologische Behandlung und stadiengerechte Schuhversorgung. Entscheidend ist die interdisziplinäre Betreuung von DFS-Patienten mit spezialisierter Versorgung in geteilter Verantwortung („shared care“).

Approach to Headache
Authors: Bobker Sarah M. , Safdieh Joseph E. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThere is a very high prevalence of headache in both outpatient and inpatient settings, in the United States and worldwide, due to an abundance of possible causes. Having a practical and systematic approach to evaluating and treating headache is, therefore, key to making the correct diagnosis, or possibly overlapping diagnoses. Taking a thorough and methodical headache history is the mainstay for diagnosis of both primary and secondary headache disorders. Evaluation and workup should include a complete neurological examination, consideration of neuroimaging in specific limited situations, and serum or spinal fluid analysis if indicated. Adopting a diagnostic approach to headache ensures that cannot-miss, or potentially fatal, headache syndromes are not overlooked, while resource-intensive tests are performed only on an as-needed basis.

AbstractChronic inflammation leading to musculoskeletal pain has garnered interest in the past decade with the success of genicular artery embolization for knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis. Outside the knee joint, musculoskeletal embolization has been applied to other anatomical locations, mainly shoulder pain secondary to adhesive capsulitis and elbow pain secondary to lateral epicondylitis. The success of these early trials and other case reports highlights the efficacy of musculoskeletal embolization and its future potential.
The other-granted self of Korean “comfort women”
Authors: Choe Hanwool 
Published: November 2021

AbstractBringing together “identity as agency” (Schiffrin, 1996;De Fina, 2003),Bamberg’s (1997)three-level positioning, andTannen’s (2008)narrative types, I analyze three interview narratives of Korean women coerced into the Japanese military’s sexual slavery during World War II, commonly known as “comfort women”. Through an eye toward “others” – e.g., Japanese soldiers, “comfort station” managers, interviewers, and sociocultural and sociopolitical forces – I investigate the manipulation of the women’s agency with their identities positioned as victims, rather than survivors. Meaning-making strategies, such as “constructed dialogue” (Tannen, 2007[1989]), repetition, deixis, and third turns, present the ways in which various others objectify and marginalize the women as well as control their stories. These illuminate how the women’s identities are granted and defined by others. This other-granted identity work reinforces aspects of language ideologies and ideologies of being silenced.
Idioms of polymediated practices and the techno-social accomplishment of co-presence in transnational families
Authors: Greschke Heike Monika 
Published: November 2021

AbstractDrawing on data from a comparative ethnographic study on media usage in transnational families, this paper contributes to a reappraisal of polymedia theory. Two main theoretical assumptions are reconsidered. First, it is demonstrated why the equal availability assumption has to be revised in light of the complex interactions between the corporeal, communicative and social mobilities which together constitute transnational migration. Second, it is argued that the techno-socially accomplished co-presence in transnational families depends more on the creative appropriation and combination of different media channels and communication forms than on the choice between them. In order to empirically investigate the specific needs for, and forms of co-presence in families, the concept of ‘registers of presence’ is proposed. It allows us to understand in detail in what ways and in which constellations transnational families create togetherness with the help of communication technologies.

ABSTRACTPrevious small‐scale studies have shown an association between the COL5A1 gene and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. In this larger study, the genotype and allele frequency distributions of the COL5A1 rs12722 C/T and rs10628678 AGGG/deletion (AGGG/‐) indel variants were compared between participants: (i) with ACL injury in independent and combined cohorts from South‐Africa (SA) and Australia (AUS) vs controls (CON), and (ii) with any ligament (ALL) or only ACL injury in a Japanese (JPN) cohort vs CON. Samples were collected from SA (235 cases; 232 controls), AUS (362 cases; 80 controls) and JPN (500 cases; 1,403 controls). Genomic DNA was extracted and genotyped. Distributions were compared, and inferred haplotype analyses performed. No independent associations were noted for rs12722 or rs10628678 when the combined SA + AUS cohort was analysed. However, the C‐deletion (rs12722‐rs10628678) inferred haplotype was under‐represented (p = 0.040, OR = 0.15, CI = 0.04‐0.56), while the T‐deletion inferred haplotype was over‐represented in the female SA + AUS ACL participants versus controls (p < 0.001, OR = 4.74, CI = 1.66‐13.55). Additionally, the rs12722 C/C genotype was under‐represented in JPN CON vs ACL (p = 0.039, OR = 0.52, 0.27‐1.00), while the rs10628678 −/− genotype was associated with increased risk of any ligament injuries (p = 0.035, OR = 1.31, CI = 1.02‐1.68) in the JPN cohort. Collectively, these results highlight that a region within the COL5A1 3’‐UTR is associated with ligament injury risk. This must be evaluated in larger cohorts and its functional relevance to the structure and capacity of ligaments and joint biomechanics be explored.Highlights
The COL5A1 T‐deletion inferred haplotype (rs12722‐rs10628678) was associated with an increased risk of ACL rupture in the combined SA and AUS female participants.
The COL5A1 C‐deletion inferred haplotype (rs12722‐rs10628678) was associated with a decreased risk of ACL rupture in the combined SA and AUS female participants.
The COL5A1 rs12722 C/C and rs10628678 −/− genotypes were associated with increased risk of ACL rupture and of ligament injuries in JPN, respectively.
A region within the COL5A1 3’‐UTR is associated with risk of ligament injury, including ACL rupture, and therefore the functional significance of this region on ligament capacity and joint biomechanics requires further exploration.
