Introduction: Leg length discrepancy (LLD) and malalignment of long bones are frequent orthopedic problems encountered in Maffucci syndrome and Ollier disease (OD). Orthopedic surgeons used historically external fixators to address the deformities. In this multicentric case series, we propose the use of motorized intramedullary nails. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed for 9 years, in four different centers, patients with OD and Maffucci’s syndrome that had lengthening nails for LLD with or without associated deformities. The minimum follow-up period was 24 months. We reported complications, clinical tolerance of lengthening, lengthening rate and target, bone healing index, and EQ-5D-Y functional and visual analog scores (VAS). We also saw on X-rays the whole lengthened bone and its regenerate zone to assess the evolution of the enchondromas. Results: we used the nailing technique in 8 femurs and 2 tibias in 8 patients (mean age: 13.3 years, range: 11–16, mean follow-up time: 53.8 months, range: 26–108). The mean correction amount was 6.44 cm for the femur over 76.8 days and 3.75 cm over 44 days for the tibia with a mean VAS score of 6.63/15 and mean EQ-5D-Y of 81/100. The lengthening goal was achieved in all patients. No mechanical complications were noted. The medullary canal of the operated bones showed improvement and healing in 8 out of 10 segments. Discussion: Besides achieving the goals of surgery with good functional outcomes, lengthening nails has a therapeutic effect on enchondromas with fewer complications than traditional correction methods.

Abstract
Introduction Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) is a genetic disorder in which individuals may present sensorineural and/or conductive hearing loss, and the results of behavioral auditory assessments are not accurate.
Objective To characterize the audiological profile of individuals with CdLS through behavioral, electroacoustic, and electrophysiological audiological assessments.
Methods The study included 13 individuals of both sexes, aged between 3 and 26 years, with diagnoses confirmed through genetic studies. The following procedures were performed: medical history survey, otoscopy (pure-tone audiometry [PTA], speech audiometry, and acoustic immittance measures), and auditory brainstem response (ABR).
Results In total 62.50% of the participants who underwent PTA had abnormal results (all of which were mild), with a predominance of bilateral conductive hearing loss (60%). Regarding tympanometry, 76.93% had abnormal results, most frequently type B (85.72% on the right and 88.89% on the left ear). Acoustic reflexes showed results compatible with tympanometry changes. Changes in ABR latency values compatible with middle-ear impairment were found in 8 of them (66.66%) – 3 had bilateral (37.50%), and 5 had unilateral impairments (62.50%).
Conclusion Mild hearing loss was identified in 62.5% of the individuals with CdLS who underwent the behavioral audiological assessment. In the acoustic immittance measures, 76.9% of the participants presented a tympanometry curve characteristic of middle-ear changes. Acoustic reflexes were absent in 84.6% of the subjects. In the ABR, no changes were identified in auditory pathway integrity. On the other hand, changes in the absolute latency values were found, which are characteristic of conductive hearing loss.
Rare Combination of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1 with Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and Clinical Value of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in Diagnosing Different Lesions and Exploring Theranostic Strategy

Published: October 2024

AbstractMultiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is characterized by the presence of hyperplastic or neoplastic tumors in the parathyroid, pituitary, and gastroenteropancreatic endocrine tissues. The presence of lesions in at least two out of the three glands (pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas) is indicative of MEN1 syndrome. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a type of tumor that originates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. It is frequently found as part of MEN2 syndrome. MEN1 with MTC is a relatively uncommon occurrence. We report a rare case of MTC that later on developed parathyroid carcinoma, pituitary microadenoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET), and duodenal NET. The case was identified as part of MEN1 syndrome using exome sequencing and somatostatin receptor–based functional imaging 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography was employed for exploring theranostic strategy in the management of the patient.

AbstractRadioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC) have poor prognosis as compared with radioiodine concentrating thyroid carcinoma. We present a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma presenting as a disseminated disease initially, underwent thyroid surgery and radioiodine (RAI) therapy. Following RAI, the patient developed a sudden-onset unilateral proptosis, finally diagnosed as orbital metastasis. [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography-computed tomography identified FDG-avid metastatic lesions more numerous than the RAI-avid lesions. The patient was treated with local and systemic targeted therapy, but despite these treatments, he developed progressive disease indicating aggressive nature of the disease consistent with [18F]FDG-avid RAIR-DTC.

Authors: Schmidt Jennifer I. , Berman Matthew , Waigl Christine F. 
Published: October 2024

Background Climate change and continued development in the wildland–urban interface (WUI) have increased risks to property and infrastructure from destructive wildfires. Aims A better understanding of the factors associated with building survival will promote resilience of WUI communities. Methods We studied factors associated with the likelihood that a building burned during the 2019 McKinley fire in the Alaska boreal forest, USA. We examined the potential influence of both ecological or socio-economic factors on building loss. Key results The probability of a building burning was significantly associated (P < 0.001) with a building burning nearby (within 30 m). Having less flammable deciduous cover nearby (within 100 m) improved survival. Buildings with lower value on larger parcels were more likely to burn, as were buildings with larger perimeters. Other important factors associated with burning included the number of buildings both nearby (within 30 m) and within the property parcel boundary. Conclusions Our results suggest that social and ecological factors contribute to building survival, indicating that a comprehensive social-ecological approach would provide the most effective support to WUI communities with wildfire risks. Implications A comprehensive approach that integrates social, economic, and ecological factors is important in understanding building loss in WUI wildfires.
Suggestions for a new model of functional phraseme categorization for applied purposes
Authors: Fankhauser Anna 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Although the significance of phraseology in various fields of applied linguistics such as
translation, language teaching, and (bilingual) learner lexicography is generally agreed upon, existing models of
phraseme categorization largely fail to account for the needs of language practitioners and learners. Yet, a
classification model for applied purposes is required, for example, to provide language practitioners and learners
with a systematic list of useful phraseological items that can be applied to individual situations of language
production and reception. The model suggested in the present paper consistently applies functional classification
criteria and is derived from an extensive corpus study of spoken British and American English. It is hoped that the
empirical approach and the focus on functional properties of phrasemes will ensure that the model is of maximum
relevance for applied purposes.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
JMWEL (Japanese MWE Lexicon) is a comprehensive lexicon of Japanese Multiword Expressions (MWEs)
with a rich set of grammatical attributes fine-tuned for phrase-based processing of a wide range of Japanese
documents. It has about 160,000 MWE lemmas covering almost every kind of linguistically idiosyncratic but commonly
used Japanese phrases, e.g., idioms, quasi-idioms, collocations, quasi-collocations, clichés, quasi-clichés,
institutionalized phrases, proverbs, and old sayings, excepting technical terms in specialized fields or named
entities. JMWEL consists of sixteen sub-lexicons reflecting their distinctive features. The comprehensiveness of the
collected MWEs and the detailed morpho-syntactic information given to each MWE, which may include internal modifiers,
are notable features of JMWEL. In this paper, we introduce the newest version of JMWEL.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this paper we present the development of an ontology-based bilingual (IT-EN) lexicographic
resource of Italian clitic Verbal MultiWord Expressions (VMWEs) to support machine translation. Starting from an
analysis of these units and their linguistic features, we examine how Neural Machine Translation (NMT) handles complex
VMWEs and the related translations issues. Finally, we propose a bilingual resource, formalised by means of the
OntoLex-Lemon model, which accounts for morphological, syntactic, and semantic features of Italian clitic verbs, in
order to enhance automatic translation of VMWEs.

Rh50 alloys are important due to their notable phase transition behavior. In this study, a series of highly ordered epitaxial films with varying Fe concentrations are grown on MgO (001) substrate. At low Fe concentrations (x = 0, 2, 6), a separation between the structural phase transition and the magnetic phase transition is observed. Unlike structural phase transitions, temperature-dependent magnetization exhibits fairly large temperature hysteresis. In addition, the structural transition induces further tetragonal distortion, resulting in an intermediate phase between the B2 and L10 structures. This separated magnetic and structural phase transitions have been further validated through x-ray diffraction, anisotropic magnetoresistance and spin-pumping measurements. Moreover, as the Fe concentration is increased, the Mn50−x
Fe

Rh50 films exhibit ferromagnetic behavior due to competitive magnetic exchange interactions, while the structural phase transition is suppressed.
Role of mechanical stress localizations on the radiation hardness of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Multi-material, multi-layered systems such as AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) contain residual mechanical stresses that arise from sharp contrasts in device geometry and materials parameters. These stresses, which can be either tensile or compressive, are difficult to detect and eliminate because of their highly localized nature. We propose that their high-stored internal energy makes potential sites for defect nucleation sites under radiation, particularly if their locations coincide with the electrically sensitive regions of a transistor. In this study, we validate this hypothesis with molecular dynamic simulation and experiments exposing both pristine and annealed HEMTS to 2.8 MeV Au+3 irradiation. Our unique annealing process uses mechanical momentum of electrons, also known as the electron wind force (EWF) to mitigate the residual stress at room temperature. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and cathodoluminescence spectra reveal the reduction of point defects and dislocations near the two-dimensional electron gas region of EWF-treated devices compared to pristine devices. The EWF-treated HEMTs showed relatively higher resilience with approximately 10% less degradation of drain saturation current and ON-resistance and 5% less degradation of peak transconductance. Both mobility and carrier concentration of the EWF-treated devices were less impacted compared to the pristine devices. Our results suggest that the lower density of nanoscale stress localization contributed to the improved radiation tolerance of the EWF-treated devices. Intriguingly, the EWF is found to modulate the defect distribution by moving the defects to electrically less sensitive regions in the form of dislocation networks, which act as sinks for the radiation induced defects and this assisted faster dynamic annealing.
Cantilever configurations in vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesting: a comprehensive review on beam shapes and multi-beam formations
Authors: Sadaf Asef Ishraq , Ahmed Riaz , Ahmed Hossain 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Vibration-based energy harvesting technology is a well-established research area that has attracted tremendous interest over the last decade. This interest is primarily owing to its extension into a wide range of engineering domains, particularly in microelectromechanical systems. The cantilever beam is the most common and widely used model for vibration-based energy harvester, driven by two key factors: (a) simplicity in design, and (b) high output power density. Numerous studies over the years have focused on optimizing the cantilever beam design to increase output power capacity and/or widen the frequency bandwidth of the harvester. While researchers have proposed a plethora of cantilever beam configurations for specific purposes (e.g. low-frequency harvesting, multi-directional frequency harvesting, etc), there is a notable lack of detailed literature on the types and configurations of cantilever beams. This gap hinders researchers from gaining a comprehensive understanding of the cantilever beams already introduced. Following the need, in this article a comprehensive review is made to list the types of cantilever beams proposed by the researchers over the years. This review covers the working principles of piezoelectric energy harvesting, analyses existing solutions geared towards increasing power output and widening working frequency, and discusses diverse configurations including single and multiple beam setups. The listed beams are categorized based on their structural shape and organization such that it can be helpful for a reader to anticipate which cantilever beam design can be suitable for a specific need. Power output capacity and operating frequency for every beam design are also presented in a tabular form, under each beam category. This would enable the researchers to tailor their designs for specific applications, enhance material efficiency, drive innovation, and open new application possibilities.
Enhancement of transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect using transition metals in a grating-based gyro-electric structure
Authors: Amanollahi Mansoureh , Zamani Mehdi 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study proposes a new magneto-plasmonic structure based on a grating which is made of Co6Ag94 (a gyro-electric medium) and a layer of transition metals (platinum, silver, copper, gold, and palladium) is placed on it. First, the impact of surface plasmon polaritons on enhancing the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect when exposed to TM- and TE-polarized waves has been investigated. The results indicate that the gyro-electric magneto-optics material effectively responds to TM-polarized waves, and the transverse Kerr effect is significantly amplified. Such reinforcement has made this structure suitable for use in the sensing field, which has shown a sensitivity of 100 deg RIU−1 and a figure of merit of about 1000 RIU−1. These results clearly show the effect of using different metals in magneto-plasmonic structures for sensing applications. Also, by comparing the metals used and examining the characteristics and weaknesses of each, it is concluded that gold and silver are the best choices for this structure. Compared to other works that have been done, this work has shown that by using available and affordable materials, it is possible to design grating-based magneto-plasmonic structures that enhance magneto-optical effects and use them in various applications.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Measurements of the luminosity distance of propagating gravitational waves can provide invaluable information on the geometry and content of our Universe. Due to the clustering of cosmic structures, in realistic situations we need to average the luminosity distance of events coming from patches inside a volume. In this work we evaluate, in a gauge-invariant and fully-relativistic treatment, the impact of cosmological perturbations on such averaging process. We find that clustering, lensing and peculiar velocity effects impact estimates for future detectors such as Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, the Big Bang Observer and DECIGO. The signal-to-noise ratio of the angular power spectrum of the average luminosity distance over all the redshift bins is 17 in the case of binary black holes detected by Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer. We also provide fitting formulas for the corrections to the average luminosity distance due to general relativistic effects.
Effective quantum gravitational collapse in a polymer framework
Authors: Boldorini Lorenzo , Montani Giovanni 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We study how the presence of an area gap, different than zero, affects the gravitational collapse of a dust ball. The implementation of such discreteness is achieved through the framework of polymer quantization, a scheme inspired by loop quantum gravity (LQG). We study the collapse using variables which represent the area, in order to impose the non-zero area gap condition. The collapse is analyzed for both the flat and spherical Oppenheimer-Snyder models. In both scenarios the formation of the singularity is avoided, due to the inversion of the velocity at finite values of the sphere surface. This happens due to the presence of a negative pressure, with origins at a quantum level. When the inversion happens inside the black hole event horizon, we achieve a geometry transition to a white hole. When the inversion happens outside the event horizon, we find a new possible astrophysical object. A characterization of such hypothetical object is done. Some constraints on the value for the area gap are also imposed in order to maintain the link with our already established physical theories.

Abstract
With the onset of the fossil energy crisis, demand for oil has skyrocketed, and the spiral axial flow gas-liquid mixing pump has emerged as the primary piece of equipment for deep-sea oil extraction. However, at high gas content, the problems of separation of mixed media from hydraulic components, gas-liquid separation and gas phase aggregation are faced. The difficulties of gas-phase aggregation and bubble trajectory in the impeller channel have received much attention, while the problem of increased medium flow resistance induced by flow separation has received less attention. The spiral axial gas-liquid mixing pump is numerically calculated using the Eulerian multiphase flow model and the SST k- turbulence model in this work. The pump is designed with the design flow rate Q = 100 m3/h, rotational speed n = 4500 rmin, and head H = 30m by arranging guide slots with different relative depths and different number of slots to reduce the dissipative vortices, thus reducing the flow resistance in the 1/5 region behind the suction surface. The findings reveal that when the relative depth of the slots is 1/7 and the number of guide slots arranged is 5, the highest drag reduction rate in this location is 69.6% under the design flow condition. When the relative depth of the guide channel is1/7 and the number of guide channels is 3, the performance of the mixing pump is improved most, with an efficiency increment of 1.9% and a head increment of 4.2%, which can provide technical support for the flow resistance reduction of gas-liquid mixing pumps.

Abstract
Baoying Pumping Station as the first station built in the East Route of the S-to-N Water Diversion Project in China, due to the importance of water source project and its 5000 hours yearly operating time, a serial of model tests and other measures were taken to secure its safety and high efficiency operation. Through the comparative model tests in the preliminary design stage, it was made clear that mixed-flow pump was the right direction of pump selection. The acceptance model test indicated that all performance requirements were satisfied and the head-weighted efficiency of the pumping system reached 80.5%, which was about 7 percentages higher than that obtained in the preliminary research and a good foundation for its efficient and economical operation was laid. The optimization design of inlet and outlet flow passages was not significant for improve the efficiency of pumping system. The verification test results were very close to the acceptance test results, and have been confirmed each other. The international bidding and mechanism of joint venture in purchasing main equipment for Baoying pumping station proved to be a success in introducing advanced foreign technology, and its construction experience can provide a useful reference for similar pumping stations.
