The Influence of Cough Reflex Testing on Patient Management
Authors: Darrock Keri , Wallace Emma , Hernandez Esther Guiu , Huckabee Maggie-Lee , Mills Madeline , Macrae Phoebe 
Published: August 2024

Purpose:
Cough reflex testing (CRT) is an adjunct to the clinical swallowing evaluation (CSE), providing information on patients' risk of silent aspiration. CRT has been shown to influence diet recommendations, but in previous work, the many varied patient characteristics are not controlled. Therefore, the specific role of CRT results in these decisions remains unclear as this relationship has not been directly assessed.

Method:
An online survey was sent to speech language therapists working in dysphagia. Two patient cases were presented that differed only by the presence of risk factors for the development of aspiration pneumonia. For each patient case, there were three assessment scenarios: CSE information only, CSE information with a “pass” CRT result, and CSE information with a “fail” CRT result. Clinicians outlined their patient management plans for each of the six scenarios.

Results:
Ninety-seven data sets were used in the final analysis. A “fail” result was found to lead to the most restrictive patient management. Decisions made when provided with only CSE information were very similar to decisions made for a CSE with a “pass” result. Aspiration pneumonia risk factors were shown to influence decision making, with the low-risk patient more likely to be recommended a less restrictive diet.

Conclusions:
When information was available regarding silent aspiration risk, clinicians factored the results into their decision making. However, in the absence of a CRT result, airway sensation was assumed to be intact in the absence of information. This finding warrants further investigation given the impact this assumption may have on a patient's pulmonary health.

Published: August 2024

Purpose:
Considering the lack of audiological care in many areas across the United States, it is crucial to develop new models of hearing health care. Described within this document is a procedure used to develop and implement an aural rehabilitation (AR) program and a community health worker (CHW) educational training program in West Central and South Alabama. The AR program and the CHW educational training program were used to assist those with hearing loss in rural Alabama communities who received over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC HAs). The work described was part of a registered clinical trial (NCT04671381) with OTC HAs in rural Alabama communities.

Method:
The development and implementation of the AR program and CHW training program was conducted using foundational work from experiential learning principals and from experts in AR and community outreach and engagement.

Results:
Over the course of 3 years from March 2021 to March 2024, the AR program and CHW training were developed and implemented. Guidance from the study personnel, consultants, and CHWs helped to refine the AR program and CHW training after implementation.

Conclusion:
Future studies will assess the success of the AR program through quantifying outcomes from speech perception testing and survey completion obtained from adults in rural communities who enroll in the OTC HA clinical trial.
Low‐carbon optimal scheduling strategy for multi‐agent integrated energy system of the park based on Stackelberg–Nash game
Authors: Chen Yanbo , Li Jiaqi , Fang Zhe , Zhang Ning , Huang Tao , Chen Zuomao 
Published: August 2024

AbstractUnder the background of achieving the dual‐carbon goal, the park is a natural experimental field for practicing the dual‐carbon goal. A low‐carbon optimal scheduling strategy for a multi‐agent park‐integrated energy system (P‐IES) based on the Stackelberg–Nash game is proposed. Firstly, a low‐carbon P‐IES scheduling model is established, considering the two‐stage operation of power‐to‐gas (P2G) technology and reward–punishment stepwise carbon trading mechanism. Then, a two‐layer game optimisation model is proposed with a park‐integrated energy system operator (P‐IESO) as the leader and multiple low‐carbon P‐IESs as followers. Among them, the parks are connected with each other through the power trading channels. Then, the Nash equilibrium solution is obtained by the iterative search method, and the uniqueness of the equilibrium solution of the game is proven, so as to determine the optimal pricing strategy of the operator. Finally, a typical industrial park is taken as an example for simulation verification. The example analysis verifies that the model can effectively reduce the system's carbon emissions and improve the park's economic benefits and low‐carbon levels, thereby achieving the coordinated development of low‐carbon and economic performance in the park.
Anti‐freezing electrolyte modification strategies toward low‐temperature aqueous zinc‐ion batteries

Published: August 2024

AbstractDue to the availability of zinc resources, and reduced security risks, aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are potential contenders for next‐generation energy storage systems. With the multi‐scene application of AZIBs, the temperature adaptation of electrolytes poses a great challenge. However, the aqueous electrolyte is prone to freezing in sub‐zero environments, which leads to undesirable problems such as undesirable ion transfer and poor electrode/electrolyte interface, resulting in a sharp deterioration of the electrochemical properties of AZIBs in cold conditions and limited practical use of AZIBs. Antifreeze electrolyte modification strategies have gained popularity as effective ways to optimise the low‐temperature behaviour of AZIB. The results of recent studies of electrolyte modification strategies are systematically summarised for low‐temperature AZIBs, focusing on the modification methods, principles, and effects achieved. Firstly, the authors describe the mechanism of failure of AZIBs at low temperatures. Subsequently, the modification strategies of antifreeze electrolytes are summarised, including the utilisation of high salt content, the design of organic electrolytes, the adoption of antifreeze electrolyte additives, and the building of hydrogel electrolytes. Finally, the issues faced by electrolytes at low temperatures are further indicated and suggestions are provided for their future development.
Active reconfigurable intelligent surface‐aided multiple‐input‐multiple‐output radar detection in the presence of clutter
Authors: Zhang Yu , Li Da , Tang Bo , Zhang Haichuan , Zuo Lei 
Published: August 2024

AbstractReconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) refers to a two‐dimensional smart surface consisting of massive number of reflecting elements. Both active RIS (ARIS) and passive RIS (PRIS) are promising technologies that can adapt and reconfigure the wireless environment, enhancing the reliability and capacity of wireless networks. The authors focus on enhancing the detection ability of ARIS/PRIS‐aided multiple‐input‐multiple‐output radar system in the presence of signal‐dependent clutter. Constant‐envelope constraint is imposed on the sought radar waveforms to improve the practicability of the radar system. To tackle the resultant non‐convex problem, a cyclic method based on minorisation–maximisation and alternating direction method of multipliers is derived to iteratively optimise the receive filters, the transmit waveforms, and the RIS coefficients. The major finding is that the distance between the radar and the ARIS has little to no impact on the radar signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR). For the PRIS‐aided radar system, a simplified model can significantly improve the operational efficiency and has little impact on the radar SINR. Numerous results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Irradiation-driven mass transfer for massive companion stars in supersoft X-rays sources
Authors: Zhao Weitao , Meng Xiangcun , Cui Yingzhen 
Published: August 2024

Context. Supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) have been proposed as one of the progenitors for Type Ia supernovae. However, the exact origin of the quasi-periodic variability in the optical light curve remains a mystery.
Aims. In this work, our goal is to investigate the effect of the feedback of an evolved main-sequence companion star on X-ray irradiation and find whether periodic X-ray irradiation of the companion star could reproduce periodic mass transfer.
Methods. Using the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) code, we modeled the evolutionary track of the companion star under the influence of supersoft X-ray irradiation, and we calculated the resulting mass transfer rate.
Results. We find that the supersoft X-ray heating of the companion star can result in the expansion of the companion, causing it to greatly overflow its Roche lobe and thereby increasing the mass transfer rate. The periodic X-ray irradiation on the companion stars leads to periodic changes in the mass transfer rate. For a given companion star, higher irradiation efficiencies result in a higher mass transfer rate. Additionally, the mass transfer rate increases as the mass of the companion star decreases for a given irradiation efficiency.
Conclusions. The companion star undergoing thermal timescale mass transfer is periodically irradiated by the X-rays from the WD, which can lead to periodic enhancement of the mass transfer rate. The mechanism could be the origin of the quasi-periodic optical light curve in supersoft X-ray sources.
Discs are born eccentric
Authors: Commerçon Benoît , Lovascio Francesco , Lynch Elliot , Ragusa Enrico 
Published: August 2024

Context. Recent observations have begun probing the early phases of disc formation, but little data yet exists on disc structure and morphology of Class 0 objects. Using simulations, we are able to lay out predictions of disc morphologies expected in future surveys of young discs. Based on detailed simulations of ab initio star formation by core collapse, we predict that early discs must be eccentric.
Aims. In this Letter, we study the morphology and, in particular, the eccentricity of discs formed in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) collapse simulations. We attempt to show that discs formed by cloud collapse are likely to be eccentric.
Methods. We ran non-ideal MHD collapse simulations in the adaptive mesh refinement code RAMSES with radiative transfer. We used state-of-the-art analysis methods to measure the disc eccentricity.
Results. We find that despite no asymmetry in the initial conditions, the discs formed are eccentric, with eccentricities on the order of 0.1.
Conclusions. These results may have important implications for protoplanetary disc dynamics and planet formation. The presence of eccentricity in young discs that is not seen at later stages of disc evolution is in tension with current viscous eccentricity damping models. This implies that there may be an as-yet undiscovered circularisation mechanism in circumstellar discs.
Efficacy of Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone 1–34 and Vitamin K2
Combination Therapy in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Authors: Zhang Zhuo , Xia Kun , Gong Wentao , Mai Ruopeng , Liu Peng , Lu Zhaogang 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a combined recombinant
human parathyroid hormone 1–34 [rhPTH (1–34)] and vitamin K2 therapy versus
vitamin K2 alone in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. A total of 77
postmenopausal osteoporosis patients were randomly divided into two groups.
Patients in one group received vitamin K2 alone, while patients in the other
group received a combination of rhPTH (1–34) and vitamin K2. Bone mineral
density (BMD), electrolyte levels, pain scores, bone metabolism levels, and
adverse drug reactions were compared pre- and post-treatment. Both two
treatments improved BMD, blood calcium concentrations, pain scores, and
increased osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin levels. Notably, the combined rhPTH
(1–34) and vitamin K2 treatment demonstrated superior efficacy in improving BMD
and bone metabolism markers. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in
the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups, indicating the safety
of the combined treatment. In summary, the combined therapy of rhPTH (1–34) and
vitamin K2 exhibited more potent efficacy in the treatment of postmenopausal
osteoporosis, more effectively enhancing BMD and bone metabolism markers than
vitamin K2 alone, without a significant increase in adverse reactions.
Asymmetric Alkyl-Alkyl Cross-Coupling Enabled by Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Hydrodimerization of Enamides with Unactivated Alkenes
Authors: Shu Wei , Yang Peng-Fei , Zhao Han-Tong 
Published: August 2024

AbstractSaturated stereogenic centers containing C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds comprise a major portion of organic molecules. Over the past decades, transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling has evolved into an efficient strategy for constructing such stereogenic centers. However, reaction modes to build asymmetric C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds remain limited. Herein, a nickel-catalyzed enantioselective cross-hydrodimerization between distinct alkenes to enable the enantioselective construction of alkyl–alkyl bonds has been developed. In this reaction mode, N-acyl enamines (enamides) and unactivated alkenes undergo oxidative enantioselective cross-hydrodimerization with excellent levels of chemo- and head-to-tail regioselectivity to give enantioenriched N-acyl α-branched amines by forging the C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond with control of the enantioselectivity. The presence of both reducing and oxidizing reagents in the reaction allows the use of alkenes as sole precursors to forge enantioselective C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds, representing a new reaction mode for asymmetric alkyl–alkyl cross-coupling. The asymmetric cross-hydrodimerization between distinct alkenes provides a new strategy for constructing saturated stereogenic centers containing C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds.
Syntax and semantics of Role Shift in Japanese Sign Language
Authors: Kawasaki Noriko 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This article argues that Role Shift in Japanese Sign Language involves a mechanism that is different in two respects from indexical shift observed in some spoken languages. First, its domain is not a clausal domain (CP or IP), but the thematic (propositional) domain, in which thematic roles are assigned. Second, what is shifted by this mechanism is not indexicals, but the objective Point-of-View from which the reported event is perceived. These characteristics apply to both Action Role Shift and Quotational Role Shift. It is claimed that Quotational Role Shift is a subcase of Action Role Shift where the thematic domain contains a predicate of propositional attitude. The attitude predicate takes a CP complement which in turn contains another operator. This second operator is the same as that found in some spoken languages, and it shifts the context for the interpretation of indexicals. The proposed analysis thus employs two types of operators, one taking the thematic domain as its scope and the other operating on the clausal domain. The analysis can be extended to account for crosslinguistic variation reported on the shifted interpretation of locative/temporal expressions in sign languages.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The investigation of atom number fluctuations in quantum gases at finite temperatures showcases the ongoing challenges in understanding complex quantum systems. Recently, the microcanonical nature of atom number fluctuations in weakly interacting Bose–Einstein condensates was observed. This motivates an investigation of the thermal component of partially condensed Bose gases, due to the conservation of the total atom number. Here, we present a combined analysis of both components, including a comprehensive analysis of the uncertainties in the preparation and parameter extraction of partially condensed quantum gases. This enables a complementary observation of the thermal atom number fluctuations and yields and improved value of the peak BEC atom number fluctuations

The analysis of noise contributions due to the preparation and evaluation of partially condensed Bose gases is based on Monte Carlo simulations of optical density profiles. Importantly, this allows for an estimation of the technical noise contributions to the atom number and temperature, which is generally applicable in the field of ultracold atoms.
Challenges of high-yield manufacture in micro-light-emitting diodes displays: chip fabrication, mass transfer, and detection
Authors: Yu Binhai , Li Yong , Li Jiasheng , Ding Xinrui , Li Zongtao 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) is a promising display technology that offers significant advantages, including superior brightness, resolution, contrast, energy consumption, and response speed. It is widely recognized as the next generation of display technology with broad application prospects. However, in the manufacturing process of micro-LED displays, producing high-quality and defect-free micro-LED chips and achieving non-destructive processing throughout the long manufacturing chain pose significant difficulties, causing the low production yield of micro-LED displays and extremely limiting their commercialization. This paper provides an overview of high-yield manufacture of micro-LED displays, targeted to improve the production yield during three key manufacturing processes: chip fabrication, mass transfer, and detection. The factors causing chip defects and key technologies for reducing chip defects in these three manufacturing processes, which are closely related to the production yield of micro-LED displays manufacturing, are discussed. Lastly, the future prospects of micro-LED display technology are highlighted.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The scattering of plasmons at a junction within a double-layer two-dimensional electron gas plasmonic waveguide is studied via a full electromagnetic method. The dispersion relation is derived by utilizing the transfer matrix method and can be extended to the situation of an arbitrary number of layers. By numerically solving the dispersion equations, both the acoustic and optical plasmon modes are identified in this double layer system, and the unstable plasmon modes arising from plasmon coupling in different layers are discussed elaborately. Subsequently, the total fields are expanded with eigenmodes and matched at the interface to analyze the scattering characteristics at the junction. The results indicate that the total power of the plasmon mode is amplified when the electron fluid flows from a high concentration region to a low concentration region, and the amplification is more evident at a higher drift velocity. Additionally, we address the scattering of unstable plasmons caused by the two-stream instability and find that the transmitted plasmons are excited intensively at the incidence of the growing plasmon, leading to the plasmon amplification. The detailed examination of plasmon scattering at junction is the prerequisite for studying more complex structures of terahertz plasmonic devices and comprehending the corresponding amplification mechanism.

AEEFCSR: an adaptive ensemble empirical feed-forward cascade stochastic resonance system for weak signal detection
Authors: Che Li , Ao Kun , Jiang Liubing 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
A novel adaptive ensemble empirical feed-forward cascade stochastic resonance (AEEFCSR) method is proposed in this study for the challenges of detecting target signals from intense background noise. At first, we create an unsaturated piecewise self-adaptive variable-stable potential function to overcome the limitations of traditional potential functions. Subsequently, based on the foundation of a feed-forward cascaded stochastic resonance method, a novel weighted function and system architecture is created, which effectively addresses the issue of low-frequency noise enrichment through ensemble empirical mode decomposition. Lastly, inspired by the spider wasp algorithm and nutcracker optimization algorithm, the spider wasp nutcracker optimization algorithm is proposed to optimize the system parameters and overcome the problem of relying on manual experience. In this paper, to evaluate its performance, the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), spectral sub-peak difference, and time-domain recovery capability are used as evaluation metrics. The AEEFCSR method is demonstrated through theoretical analysis. To further illustrate the performance of the AEEFCSR method, Validate the adoption of multiple engineering datasets. The results show that compared with the compared algorithms, the output SNR of the AEEFCSR method is at least 6.2801 dB higher, the spectral subpeak difference is more than 0.25 higher, and the time-domain recovery effect is more excellent. In summary, the AEEFCSR method has great potential for weak signal detection in complex environments.
