Are Late Talkers Just Late? Neighborhood Density and Word Frequency Properties of Late Talkers' Spoken Vocabularies
Authors: Simmons Elizabeth Schoen , Paul Rhea 
Published: September 2024

Purpose:
Typically developing toddlers extract patterns from their input to add words to their spoken lexicons, yet some evidence suggests that late talkers leverage the statistical regularities of the ambient language differently than do peers. Using the extended statistical learning account, we sought to compare lexical-level statistical features of spoken vocabularies between late talkers and two typically developing comparison groups.

Method:

MacArthur–Bates Communicative Developmental Inventories American English Words and Sentences (
N
= 1,636) were extracted from Wordbank, a database of CDIs. Inventories were divided into three groups: (a) a late talker group (
n
= 202); (b) a typically developing age-matched group (
n
= 1,238); and (c) a younger, typically developing group (
n
= 196) matched to the late talkers on expressive language. Neighborhood density and word frequency were calculated for each word produced by each participant and standardized to
z
scores. Mixed-effects models were used to evaluate group differences.

Results:
The late talker and younger, language-matched groups' spoken vocabularies consist, on standardized average, of words from denser phonological neighborhoods and words higher in frequency of occurrence in parent–child speech, compared to older, typically developing toddlers.

Conclusions:
These findings provide support for the extended statistical learning account. Late talkers appear to generally be extracting and using similar patterns from their language input as do younger toddlers with similar levels of expressive vocabulary. This suggests that late talkers may be following a delayed, not deviant, trajectory of expressive language growth.
Misalignment tolerance improvement of loosely coupled transformer with ferromagnetic materials via genetic algorithm
Authors: Wang Hao , Wang Jing , Li Liangchen , Sun Hao , Yang Fuyao , Zhao Haisen 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, misalignment between the primary and secondary coils can decrease the transmission efficiency of the loosely coupled transformer (LCT). Adding ferromagnetic materials or a relay coil is an effective solution for efficiency and misalignment tolerance improvement if extra eddy current loss and hysteresis loss on the ferromagnetic materials or the conduction loss caused by the relay coil is well controlled. The effect of ferrite cores on the transmission efficiency of two‐coil and three‐coil LCTs is analysed from the perspective of loss. By finite element analysis, the dimension of ferrite cores is optimised via the genetic algorithm to improve the efficiency and misalignment tolerance of the LCT. Optimal ferrite core dimension is also verified in a 1‐kW WPT prototype, and experimental results show that, after optimisation, transmission efficiency of the two‐coil LCT can be improved by 2.681% and 8.930% under alignment and the 200‐mm misalignment, and with the proposed control strategy, transmission efficiency of the LCT is always above 94.925% under various misalignment conditions.
Hiding image with inception transformer

Published: September 2024

AbstractImage steganography aims to hide secret data in the cover media for covert communication. Though many deep‐learning‐based image steganography methods have been presented, these approaches suffer from the inefficiency of building long‐distance connections between the cover and secret images, leading to noticeable modification traces and poor steganalysis resistance. To improve the visual imperceptibility of generated stego images, it is essential to establish a global correlation between the cover and secret images. In this way, the secret image can be dispersed throughout the cover image globally. To bridge this gap, a novel image steganography framework called HiiT is proposed, which takes advantage of CNN and Transformer to learn both the local and global pixel correlation in image hiding. Specifically, a new Transformer structure called Inception Transformer is proposed, which incorporates the Inception Net in the attention‐based Transformer architecture. The Inception Net can learn different scaled image features using multiple convolution kernels, while the attention mechanism can learn the global pixel correlation. By this, the proposed Inception Transformer learns the long‐distance pixel dependency between the cover and secret images. Furthermore, we propose a ‘Skip Connection’ mechanism in the proposed Inception Transformer, which merges the low‐level visual features and high‐level semantic features and achieves better model performance. In detail, The HiiT generates higher‐quality stego images with 45.46 PSNR and 0.9915 SSIM. Besides, accurately restored secret images achieve 47.27 PSNR and 0.9952 SSIM. Extensive experimental results show the proposed HiiT significantly improves the image‐hiding performance compared with state‐of‐the‐art methods.
Adipositasleitlinie 2024 – was ist neu?
Authors: Hauner Hans 
Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungNach Aktualisierung und Erweiterung steht seit kurzem die neue S3-Leitlinie zur
„Prävention und Therapie der Adipositas“ zur Verfügung. Sie enthält erstmalig
ein Kapitel zur weit verbreiteten Stigmatisierung von Menschen mit Adipositas,
die sich durch alle Lebens-bereiche zieht, sowie ein Kapitel zu den digitalen
Behandlungsmöglichkeiten, die zunehmend genutzt werden. Die neuen
gewichtssenkenden Medikamente stellen eine effektive Bereicherung der
Therapieoptionen dar und können vor allem die Lücke zwischen der multimodalen
Basistherapie und der bariatrischen Chirurgie füllen. Damit wird sich die
Adipositastherapie in den nächsten Jahren deutlich verändern und die
aktualisierte Leitlinie soll einen Beitrag leisten, um moderne Adipositasmedizin
besser ins deutsche Gesundheits-system zu integrieren.
Interdisziplinäre Adipositastherapie
Authors: Blank Susanne , Otto Mirko 
Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungAdipositas ist eine globale Epidemie mit zunehmender Prävalenz, die einen
interdisziplinären Ansatz für eine effektive Langzeitbehandlung erfordert. Trotz
der Verfügbarkeit neuer medikamentöser Therapien bleibt die Anzahl der
Patient*innen, die in Deutschland eine angemessene Behandlung erhalten,
unzureichend. Das Disease Management Programm (DMP) für Adipositas, das im
November 2023 eingeführt wurde, zielt darauf ab, die medizinische Versorgung zu
verbessern, derzeit gibt es jedoch keine Kostendeckung für medikamentöse
Therapie, postoperative Betreuung und umfassende Ernährungs- und
Bewegungstherapien. Die Behandlung von Adipositas erfordert einen
vielschichtigen Ansatz. Lebensstilinterventionen wie Ernährungsumstellungen und
Bewegung sind wesentlich, aber oft nicht ausreichend für einen signifikanten
Gewichtsverlust. Pharmakologische Behandlungen, insbesondere GLP-1-Agonisten,
haben vielversprechende Ergebnisse gezeigt. Diese können jedoch aufgrund der
fehlenden Kostenübernahme nur eingeschränkt eingesetzt werden. Die bariatrische
Chirurgie bleibt die effektivste Langzeitbehandlung mit einem durchschnittlichen
Gewichtsverlust von 30–40%. Sie wird für Patient*innen mit einem BMI über 40
kg/m² oder über 35 kg/m² mit Begleiterkrankungen empfohlen. Die Integration von
chirurgischen und konservativen Therapien ist entscheidend für optimale
Ergebnisse.

Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungDie Studie untersucht die Inanspruchnahme von psychosozialen Diensten bei jungen
Menschen, die unter suizidalem Erleben und Verhalten leiden. Dadurch werden
Versorgungslücken deutlich gemacht und besondere Zielgruppen herausgearbeitet.
Die Daten stammen aus der Baselinebefragung des Forschungsprojekts „Outcome
Evaluation [U25]“. Die Stichprobe umfasst n=888 Personen im jungen
Erwachsenenalter, die unter suizidalem Erleben und Verhalten leiden. Unter den
Teilnehmenden griffen 55% auf mindestens ein psychosoziales Hilfsangebot zu.
Heilkundliche Angebote wurden am häufigsten genutzt (54%), gefolgt von weiteren
professionellen Beratungsangeboten (34%) und nichtprofessionellen
Selbsthilfeangeboten (22%). Männer nahmen seltener Hilfe in Anspruch als Frauen
und Personen diversen Geschlechts. Teilnehmende in Beziehungen suchten seltener
Hilfe als Singles. Der Migrationshintergrund zeigte keinen konsistenten
Zusammenhang mit der Inanspruchnahme von psychosozialen Diensten. Psychische
Belastungen und „suicide literacy“ hingen mit einer erhöhten Inanspruchnahme
zusammen. Geschlecht und Beziehungsstatus waren auch dann signifikante
Prädiktoren für die Inanspruchnahme von psychosozialen Angeboten, wenn
psychische Belastungen, suizidales Erleben und Verhalten sowie „suicide
literacy“ berücksichtigt wurden.

Published: September 2024

Background Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) using the ChemoRadiotherapy for Oesophageal cancer followed by Surgery Study (CROSS) protocol has improved esophageal cancer outcomes. This study reports the real-world experience of the CROSS regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) regarding its feasibility, safety, and predictors of treatment completion from an Indian tertiary center.
Methodology A retrospective review was conducted for patients with ESCC receiving CROSS (radiation dose: 41.4 Gy) or a modified CROSS (mCROSS; radiation dose: 45 Gy) protocol NACRT between 2015 and 2022. We studied the treatment tolerability, factors predicting NACRT completion, and the effect of completion of its chemotherapy component on the pathological outcomes.
Results Of the109 patients (68.8% males; mean age, 56 ± 9 years; Charlson's comorbidity index [CCI] >2, 19.3%; stage III–IVA, 58%; mean tumor length, 5.5 ± 2.1cm; CROSS, 70.6%; mCROSS, 29.4%), all except 4 completed radiotherapy but only 58 (53.2%) patients completed ≥4 cycles of chemotherapy. Forty-nine patients belonged to the “extended” CROSS trial inclusion criteria. Among the 60 patients who fulfilled the CROSS inclusion criteria, only 51.7% were able to complete ≥4 chemotherapy cycles. The commonest reason for noncompletion of chemotherapy was the occurrence of neutropenia (60.8%). Pretreatment hemoglobin (≥12 vs. <12 g%; odds ratio [OR]: 2.76; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10–6.96; p = 0.031), a low CCI (≤2 vs. >2; OR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.02–8.73; p = 0.047), and radiation therapy techniques (conformal vs. conventional; OR: 3.29; 95% CI: 1.14–9.50; p = 0.028) were associated with completion of chemotherapy (≥4 cycles). Although there was a trend toward improved R0 resection (95.7 vs. 91.4%), reduced node positivity (17.0 vs. 31.4%), and a high pCR (57.4 vs. 48.6%) in patients completing chemotherapy (≥4 cycles) compared with those not completing chemotherapy (<4 cycles), these differences were statistically nonsignificant.
Conclusion In this study, ESCC patients receiving the CROSS protocol NACRT could complete their radiotherapy component, but a significant proportion exhibited poor chemotherapy tolerance. Neutropenia was a major factor limiting chemotherapy delivery, but anemia, high CCI, and conventional radiation techniques were also associated with noncompletion of chemotherapy. The omission of a few chemotherapy cycles had no significant effect on the pathological response; however, its impact on cancer survival requires further evaluation.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the bending properties of String of Pearls plate-bone substitute constructs with and without bending tees in the nodes over a simulated fracture gap. It is hypothesized that the constructs with tees will have higher bending stiffness.
Study Design Acetal polymer tubes and 12-hole, 3.5-mm String of Pearls plates were used to create plate-bone substitute constructs simulating stabilization in a bridging fashion over a 45-mm gap. Twenty-four constructs were made with 12 containing tees in the nodes over the fracture gap. Single-cycle load-to-failure 4-point bending was performed in mediolateral and craniocaudal planes. Bending stiffness was compared with a t-test (p < 0.05).
Results All plate-bone substitute constructs had a permanent loss of structural integrity via plastic deformation of the plate. The bending stiffness (mean ± standard deviation) of the craniocaudal group was 59.11 ± 1.98 N/mm with tees and 59.25 ± 1.69 N/mm without tees (p = 0.88). In the mediolateral group, the bending stiffness was 43.17 ± 0.75 N/mm with tees and 41.09 ± 0.91 N/mm without tees (p = 0.0042).
Conclusion In 4-point bending, the plate-bone substitute constructs with tees had equivalent bending stiffness in the craniocaudal plane and increased bending stiffness in the mediolateral plane. However, with a small absolute difference in values, the clinical significance is unclear. Future studies for cyclic bending, torsional, and axial compression tests should be performed to further investigate the value of tees in the nodes over a comminuted or gap fracture repaired in a bridging fashion.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article aims to assist radiologists in navigating the vascular and biliary anatomy of post-transplant patients, thereby enhancing their diagnostic accuracy and determining the need for potential interventions. We have detailed established methods for anastomosis between the donor and recipient arterial, hepatic venous, portal venous, and biliary systems, while omitting surgical techniques, vascular shunting, and operative procedures, as our primary audience is radiologists. The focus of this review is on inflow and outflow of both blood and bile. Given the numerous possible anastomosis points in hepatic transplantation, familiarizing radiologists with these variations will support their efforts in identifying crucial structures in post-transplant patients.
Friend or phisher: how known senders and fear of missing out affect young adults' phishing susceptibility on social media

Published: September 2024

AbstractPhishers exploit the social nature of social media, thereby targeting young adults, who are highly susceptible to phishing. This study focuses on two under-researched factors influencing young adults’ susceptibility to social media phishing: the user’s relation to the message sender and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). In an online vignette study, 193 young adults were presented with Instagram chat messages from either known or unknown senders, accompanied by varying consequences for not clicking. These ranged from missing an event with no other user (no consequences) to missing an event with one (low) or several other users (high consequences). The analysis focused on intended behaviour and suspicion, while also capturing young adults’ situational fear of missing out on the scenario-based event with the message sender (State FoMO) and their individual Trait FoMO. The results highlight that the user-sender relation is a strong predictor of phishing susceptibility and a crucial contributor to State FoMO. Furthermore, young adults who are high in Trait FoMO exhibited lower suspicion towards phishing attempts. These findings are discussed along with methodological considerations. In addition, strategies to mitigate the identified vulnerabilities are suggested, focusing on areas where social media phishing is most likely to affect young adults.

Abstract
We synthesized a new nanocomposite bearing nitrogen-doped graphene as a carbon additive to the nickel oxide nanoparticles-titanium dioxide nanotubes heterojunction. The main purpose was the comparison of its structural and electronic properties, hence potential applications, with its undoped, reduced graphene oxide (GO) homolog. The beneficial effect of graphene on TiO2 heterojunctions is an accepted fact in the materials science field, mainly in favor of the nitrogen-doped one. Our data show that both graphenes have little influence on the band offset values of the NiO–TiO2 heterojunction. Still, the presence of reduced, undoped GO allows an improved electron transfer process from titania, causing a better charge carriers’ separation. This correlates well with their observed photocatalytic activity under visible light exposure, for the degradation of four emerging contaminant pollutants (amoxicillin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and β-estradiol). In addition, the band alignment of the NiO–TiO2 heterojunction with graphenes, and the corrected thermodynamic potentials of the organic pollutants explain well the observed photocatalytic behavior.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this work a complete atmospheric electro–hydro-dynamic (EHD) thruster is tested in a subsonic wind tunnel, with the purpose of evaluating changes in performance due to simulated flight conditions and, for the first time, comparing them with a physical model of the drift region. An aerodynamic frame was designed to accommodate the electrodes inside the wind tunnel. Propulsive force and electrical measurements were conducted to assess performance exploiting dimensionless coefficients derived from one-dimensional theory. The results, on top of validating the theory, show how EHD thrusters can operate with a non-zero bulk velocity and highlight the importance of optimized frames and electrodes to enhance the capabilities of flying demonstrators. The test campaign revealed that the operating voltage envelope extends with increasing bulk velocity, leading to an increase in maximum thrust.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
In response to the issues of inaccurate tracking precision caused by continuous turning and variable road adhesion coefficients on complex roads in mining areas for unmanned mining trucks, this paper adopts unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to estimate the road adhesion coefficient. Based on this, an adaptive preview feedforward linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control algorithm is designed using genetic algorithm, feedforward control, and linear quadratic optimal path tracking control methods. Firstly, a nine degree of freedom vehicle dynamics model and a two degree of freedom vehicle lateral dynamics model are established, and the Dugoff model to calculate tire forces is introduced; secondly, utilizing UKF to estimate the road adhesion coefficient, and leveraging active disturbance rejection control for rapid tracking of road curvature, an optimized design of the LQR controller is carried out. Then, the effectiveness of the designed controller was verified through Trucksim/Simulink joint simulation testing. Finally, the hardware in the loop test results showed that the designed controller had good tracking accuracy and strong adaptability in complex road and special working conditions in mining areas.
A line scanning monitoring method for conveyor belt deviation using point cloud

Published: September 2024

Abstract
A precise conveyor belt deviation monitoring method using line array point cloud data is proposed and demonstrated, which can ensure the healthy running of the conveyor system. The point cloud data characterizing the surface of the conveyor belt is collected in a line scanning way. Then, using a unique soft extraction method that weighted fusing three key features (cross-sectional variation, belt’s horizontal width, and previous frame) to process this data, the edge information of the conveyor belt can be accurately and robustly identified in real-time. Furthermore, the point cloud processing mode enables a belt-segmented deviation analysis method based on a standard sequence query. This can accurately determine the offset value and deviation trend of the conveyor belt, thereby achieving early warning of deviation faults. Experimental results show that the belt edge identification precision can reach 0.3 mm, and an early warning can be provided at least 57 m before the occurrence of a belt deviation fault. This belt deviation monitoring method can be widely applied in various working environments, especially in harsh conditions like mines and ports. It also has potential applications in automated production lines within Industry 4.0.
Color-flavor locked strange stars admixed with mirror dark matter and the observations of compact stars
Authors: Yang S.-H. , Pi C.-M. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWe investigate the structure and the tidal deformability of the color-flavor locked strange stars admixed with mirror dark matter. Assuming the stars in the GW170817 event have a mirror-dark-matter core or a mirror-dark-matter halo, the observations of the central compact object within the supernova remnant HESS J1731-347 and the compact objects in the GW190814 and GW170817 events could be explained simultaneously with a pairing gap much smaller than 200 MeV. In contrast, a pairing gap larger than about 200 MeV must be employed without the consideration of a mirror-dark-matter core (halo). More importantly, we find that for the case of the quartic coefficienta4< 0.589, if the mass fraction of the mirror dark matter (fD) of the compact stars in GW170817 is in a certain range (eg., 22.8% <fD< 77.2% fora4= 0.55), the minimum allowed value of the pairing gap could be less than 46.5 MeV (i.e., one half of the value of the strange quark mass which is taken as 93 MeV in this paper), which leads to the result that all astrophysical observations mentioned above could be satisfied without violating the conformal bound or the recently proposed positive trace anomally bound.

We find that both models describe these systems with an RMS error smaller than 10%. We also perform a configurational entropy calculation in both models to discuss hadronic stability.
