AbstractThis study investigated the associations between pre-season and in-season
performance with external workload in professional soccer players. Twenty-one
players completed hamstring strength, countermovement jump (CMJ), 20-m sprint,
and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery tests before (pre-season) and after 8 weeks
(in-season). External workload (total distance, high-intensity running distance,
number of sprints, and power plays) was quantified during this period, and used
to divide the average above and below subgroups outcome by outcome for further
analyses. Significance was accepted when P≤0.05. Hamstring strength declined
from pre- to in-season [− 6%; p=0.014; effect size (ES): − 0.41], while Yo-Yo
performance improved (46%; p=0.001; ES: 1.31). When divided by high-intensity
running distance, only the below-average subgroup improved CMJ performance (5%;
p=0.030). For minutes played, the above-average subgroup improved Yo-Yo
performance (41%; p<0.001), but not the below-average subgroup. Furthermore,
playing time correlated with improved Yo-Yo performance (p=0.040; r=0.534).
Improved 20-m sprint performance associated with more sprints performed
(p=0.045; r=− 0.453). Physical capabilities changed over a competitive season
and were related to, and differentiated by, external workload. Because hamstring
strength decreased and CMJ only improved in players exposed to less
high-intensity external load, practitioners should individualize approaches to
counteract these conditions when high external workload is performed over the
season.

Published: July 2024

AbstractTargeted protein degradation (TPD) has emerged as an important strategy to target disease-relevant proteins that were previously considered difficult to drug or even undruggable. Cereblon (CRBN) plays an outsized role in TPD as a preferred degradation-inducing effector protein for several reasons, including its anticipated broad protein substrate scope and its ligandability with drug-like small molecules. Notably, CRBN-based molecular glue degraders (MGDs) and proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have shown success in clinical trials and, in some cases, as approved drugs. Thus, the interest in CRBN ligands within the pharmaceutical industry and academia has increased dramatically in recent years, highlighting the need for robust synthetic approaches towards them. This short review summarizes tactics and strategies to synthesize CRBN ligands, including the most recent developments in the field. Particular emphasis is put on the construction and direct functionalization of key CRBN binding motifs such as glutarimides and dihydrouracils.1	Introduction2	Cereblon Ligands with Glutarimide Binding Motif3	Cereblon Ligands with Dihydrouracil Binding Motif4	Cereblon Ligands with Other Binding Motifs5	Conclusions and Outlook

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Objective This study examined the effect of the number of phosphate-containing primer applications on the shear bond strength (SBS) of zirconia to resin cement.
Materials and Methods 315 square specimens (10 × 10 × 4 mm3) were manufactured from Cercon ht presintered zirconia blocks. Alumina particles were used to sandblast zirconia specimens. These specimens were randomly divided into six primer-based groups: No primer application (NP), CLEARFIL CERAMIC PRIMER (C), PANAVIA V5 Tooth Primer (T), M&C PRIMER (MC), Monobond N (MN), and Z-PRIME plus (Z), and then separated into application number (1–4) groups (excluding NP). Each specimen was bonded with resin cement. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine. The debonded surface was examined with a stereomicroscope.
Statistical Analysis The SBSs were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance.
Results Applying the primer twice exhibited the highest SBSs in each group, with significant differences in the T, MN, and Z groups. However, the SBS in the MC group was significantly lower on the second application. One-hundred percent adhesive failure was observed in all groups.
Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, prior to cementation, the sandblasted zirconia surface should be applied twice with a phosphate-containing primer other than MC to maximize the SBS at the zirconia-resin cement interface.

AbstractThe aim of this review was to determine the survival rate of implants loaded immediately with a Branemark protocol prosthesis. An electronic search was performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE database from 2006 to February 2024, using a combination of Medical Subject Headings descriptors: “completely edentulous” and “immediate loading.” Human clinical articles in English that evaluated the survival rate of implants loaded immediately with a Branemark protocol prosthesis after placement in the bone were included. A total of 546 articles were identified, of which 15 were included in this study. The 15 articles included in the literature showed a high implant survival rate (more than 93%) after immediate loading.
Dealing with Evidence in Dental Professional Liability Lawsuits—General Recommendations for Dental Expert Witness Work Using the Example of Germany: A Narrative Review
Authors: Brauer Hans Ulrich , Bartols Andreas 
Published: July 2024

AbstractDental treatment can lead to disputes between patients and dentists, which are then brought before the civil courts as medical malpractice cases. The court regularly commissions a dental expert to answer questions of evidence in court. In the majority of cases, the expert is able to answer these questions based on his professional expertise and practical experience. In order to make the assessment comprehensible and credible for the judge and the parties, it can be helpful and reasonable to cite relevant literature references from dental textbooks and specialist journals. In individual cases, it may be necessary to carry out a systematic literature search on specific topics. Based on the situation in Germany, this narrative review makes recommendations of how to perform a literature search and make citations specifically for expert opinions that are generally applicable independent of national jurisdiction.
Strategies for selecting trading partners based on economic complexity of international trade networks: A comparison between Chinese and the US markets
Authors: Ren Zhuoming , Du Wenli , Zhao Ziyi , Zhao Li , Weng Tongfeng 
Published: July 2024

AbstractSelecting suitable trading partners in the globalized trade landscape remains critical. Traditional selection processes driven by factors like comparative advantage and trade costs are cumbersome and incomplete. Economic complexity offers a more precise measure of a country’s economic development and product capacity, facilitating future-oriented choices. Leveraging international trade data from 2001 to 2015, this paper employs economic complexity theories to analyze Chinese and the US’ trade networks in the global market. It explores multi-level considerations for exporting countries’ partner selection, revealing varying product diversification challenges and market clustering tendencies. China shows increasing overall product proximity relationships, specifically notable in textile-related products, while the US exhibits decreasing product proximities. Additionally, trading positions and product dependencies vary across markets. Some countries, like Japan and Germany, maintain stable positions, while others fluctuate. Notably, countries like Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Cambodia have higher positions in the Chinese market, suggesting promising long-term trade partnerships. Conversely, countries like Yemen, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, and Sudan have higher positions in the US market, indicating significant disparities. Products that are needed in the Chinese market and occupy higher complexity positions are primarily concentrated in the field of non-ferrous metals, while the US market relies more on raw materials. This highlights distinct market dynamics, particularly pronounced in the US market. Hence, there is a greater likelihood of obtaining better economic benefits by trading these products in their respective markets.
Political language gaffes and the importance of Hearer’s meaning
Authors: Tincheva Nelly 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Drawing on Hansen and Terkourafi’s (2023) model of Hearer’s meaning, the paper discusses cognitive mechanisms through which hearers interpret political language gaffes (e.g. former U.S. President Trump’s “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”). The paper approaches political language gaffes as dependent on a high degree of blending between textual-and-discursive frames and social-world frames. The dataset analysis demonstrates how a Hearer’s difficulty in interpreting a gaffe-y utterance can shift Hearer’s focus (a) from one frame element (e.g. speaker, hearer, effect of utterance on hearer) to another, and (b) from a discursive frame to a social-world frame. The paper demonstrates how, while looking to pinpoint the contextual relevance of an utterance, a Hearer can simultaneously shift focus and vary the scope of cognitive structures from which Hearer can derive meaning. The paper also suggests how analyses of political language gaffes can contribute to research on sociopragmatic topics such as Speaker’s accountability, pragmatic competence, pragmatic failure, non-propositional effects, etc.

ANCF-based dynamic modeling of variable curvature soft pneumatic actuators with experimental verifications
Authors: Rong Yu , Gu Guoying 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Accurate and computationally efficient models of soft pneumatic actuators are crucial for utilizing their compliance in various fields. However, existing research primarily relies on the piecewise constant curvature assumption or the quasi-static assumption, only valid in limited situations. In this paper, we present a dynamic model based on absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) that simultaneously accounts for variable curvature deformation and dynamic properties. To this end, deformed configurations of soft pneumatic actuators are firstly discretized into ANCF-based beam elements. Based on this parameterization method, the dynamic model is derived by the principle of virtual work. After identifying model parameters, Newmark algorithm is utilized to solve the dynamic model in real-time, averagely consuming 6.76 s of a 10 s simulation. The derived dynamic model is experimental verified using a soft pneumatic actuator. The experimental results demonstrate that the maximum simulation errors of the tip remain below 2.5% of the actuator’s length when the actuator is subjected to various pressure and tip loads. In addition, the overshoot behavior and period of vibration in the oscillations are also predicted by the dynamic model. Moreover, the dynamic model exhibits an average 46.53% reduction in simulation error compared with the static ANCF-based model. Overall, this work paves the way to a deeper insight to dynamic motion analysis of soft pneumatic actuators.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
We construct a symmetric teleparallel gravity model which is non-minimally coupled with electromagnetic field in four dimensions inspired by its Riemannian equivalent. We derive the field equations by taking the variation of this model, which is written here for the first time. Then, we find some classes of spherically symmetric static solutions by the coincident gauge of symmetric teleparallel spacetime.

Abstract
In this paper, a two-layer seven-core structural fiber (TLSCSF) is proposed to support and improve the propagation of more orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode beams, thus increasing the transmission capacity and spectrum efficiency (SE) of an optical communication system. The TLSCSF is composed of seven sub-cores, each containing two inner and outer layers of core rings and a central air hole. The two core rings are prepared using two materials with different doping concentrations. The supported OAM modes can be propagated in the fiber core ring. A finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the designed fiber, and the calculated results show that the TLSCSF can stably transmit 322 OAM modes without higher order radial modes in the wavelength range of 1.5∼1.6 um. The corresponding effective refractive index difference between two adjacent vector modes (HE/EH) is more than 10−4. The measured effective mode areas (Aeff) and the confinement losses (CL) of HE or EH modes are larger than 54 um2 and smaller than 10−10 dB m−1, respectively. Moreover, the calculated dispersion variations and the mode qualities are lower than 230 ps nm−1 km−1 and more than 90%, respectively. Finally, the 10ps walk-off lengths of all vector modes supported by TLSCSF at a wavelength of 1.55 um are also evaluated, where the measured results show that except for HE2,1 and EH1,1, all other modes achieve a 10ps walk-off length of the order of 103 to 105. Consequently, the TLSCSF can contributes to improving the channel capacity and SE by supporting 322 fundamental radial OAM modes with robust performances in an optical communication system.
Nanoscale pattern formation on surfaces by cluster ion beam irradiation
Authors: Jiménez-Sáez J C , Muñoz S , Palacios P 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Ion beam sputtering is a solid-surface nanostructuring procedure applicable to any type of material. In this study, we are interested in the bombardment of a metallic surface, specifically, of a Co(110) surface bombarded with Ar clusters at oblique incidence. The bombardment with clusters accentuates the effect of surface ripple formation. Sputter erosion and surface atomic redistribution are the processes that determine the morphological evolution of the surface from the collisional point of view. The importance of these processes was analyzed for different angles of incidence in the bombardment with very small clusters and atoms while always maintaining the same fluence. The sputter yield increases with the number of atoms in the cluster for angles greater than 50°; while for the rest, it barely experiences any increase. Unlike sputtering, displacements increase as the cluster size increases above the critical angle. Moreover, horizontal displacement only shows some sign of saturation for angles close to the normal. An analysis of redistributed volumes and previous data suggest that sputtering drives the ripple effect for grazing angles and ones close to these. It is also responsible for the enhancement effect in the cluster bombardment. For the rest of the angles, the weight of the redistribution is decisive. There is a proportional relationship between the emptied volume and the horizontal displacement.

Abstract
This paper reports the study of the high-energy radiation shielding characteristics of the STS glassy system. Further, the work investigates the effect of indium concentration on the high energy radiation shielding characteristics of the STS glassy system. For this purpose, a glassy Se78-xTe20Sn2Inx (x = 0, 2, 4, and 6) system was synthesized using a renowned melt quench technique whose density was measured through the Archimedes method. We have utilized an online platform, i.e., Phy-X/PSD software, to measure the different radiation shielding parameters of the SeTeSnIn glassy system. Several shielding parameters such as linear and mass attenuation coefficient, half value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Z

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Research into multi-frequency and multi-functional optical switches for complex applications is pioneering territory. By employing a single-layer structure comprising three distinct graphene strips, we successfully created a dual-PIT effect through the destructive interference among two bright modes and a dark mode. The numerical simulations were corroborated by coupled mode theory, reflecting a high degree of consistency between the theory and the simulations. Remarkably, the modulation of the Fermi level in graphene metamaterials through gate voltage enabled the realization of asynchronous optical switches capable of operating at six, five, four, and three frequencies. Notably, the six-frequency switch exhibited an impressive modulation depth of 88.54% and an insertion loss of just 0.15 dB, highlighting its superior performance. This study lays a solid foundation for future multi-frequency and multi-functional optical switch designs, offering significant implications and practical applications.
An energy concisions analytical modelling approach with experimental verification for cutting performance assessment in EDM of Ti-based superalloy

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a stochastic process which is commonly engaged for cutting of Ti-based difficult-to-cut alloys. Experimental investigation in EDM is costly and requires significant amount of time due to the complex nature of the process. Moreover, the energy intensive nature is another criticism associated to this technique. Therefore, this research is focused on developing an energy conscious mathematical model of the process while considering the categorical parameters like type of dielectric, electrode and nano-powder along with pulse time ratio. Taguchi design of experiment (DOE) has been executed for the experimentation. The comprehensive analysis of the findings depicts transformer oil (TO) delivers a remarkable improvement in MRR and SEC in comparison to other dielectric choices. Furthermore, brass electrode stands out for achieving the best surface finish. When it comes to micro-additives, SiC exhibits substantial potential in increasing MRR, and graphite gives a better surface finish. The process has also been effectively modeled which helps to predict material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (SR) and specific energy consumption with decent precision which is the key contribution of this study. 3D simulation for EDM illustrates that the features of the crater are defined by the liquefied region, whilst the dynamics of the mushy zone play a crucial role in controlling and characterizing the microstructure size progression. The confirmatory experimental results revealed that the use of optimized parametric combinations demonstrate 90.87% improvement in MRR, 52.07% reduction in SR and 96.19% decrease in SEC in contest to the responses’ values obtained at non-optimal settings.
