How to Survive Sepsis: Patient Testimonial
Authors: Bracke Krista 
Published: July 2024

AbstractLeaving university I started working for the Belgian National Radio as a journalist. I used to travel a lot and produce radio features about life abroad and how people all over the world dealt with the different challenges in society. A privileged job that I enjoyed doing for many years. In the meantime, I got married and became a mother of two sons. Nothing to worry about, so it seemed, until January 30, 2009. I had been fighting the symptoms of flu for some days. Instead of recovering, I began to feel worse and worse: I had a high fever, was asleep most of the time, could barely eat or drink, and had to cough a lot. The general practitioner sent me to hospital. A few hours later, I had to be reanimated. It was a close call: I was infected by the Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. My blood started thickening, my organs stopped functioning, and I went into a septic shock, followed by a cardiac arrest. I was successfully reanimated, but still not stable. For 10 days, I was fighting to survive at the intensive care unit (ICU), with several cardiac arrests and reanimations, some of which were long-lasting. The Head of the ICU informed my husband that there was less than 5% chance to survive and if so, he could not predict what kind of damage there would be: the amount of drugs that I had been given, including noradrenaline, was so extremely high, that it became very unclear how my body would respond to it. And if, as by miracle, I would survive: what kind of damage would there be? Physical? Mental? Physical and mental? No specialist could answer those questions. But both the health care professionals and my family fought to keep me alive.

Published: July 2024

AbstractExpanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) neochordae are predominantly used for mitral valve repair (MVr), while the frequency of their employment in tricuspid valve surgery is not well assessed. We have performed a review of the available literature to verify incidence, indications, techniques, and outcomes of the use of artificial neochordae in a variety of tricuspid valve pathologies. We found a total of 57 articles reporting the use of ePTFE sutures in patients in whom tricuspid valve repair (TVr) was performed. From such articles, adequate information on the basic disease, surgical techniques, and outcomes could be obtained in 45 patients in whom the indication to the use of neochordae was posttraumatic tricuspid regurgitation (n = 24), infective endocarditis (n = 8), congenital valvular disease (n = 6), valve injury during cardiac neoplasm excision (n = 3) or following repeated endomyocardial biopsies after heart transplantation (n = 3), and tricuspid valve prolapse (n = 1). Implant techniques generally replicated those currently employed for MVr using artificial neochordae. There were no reported hospital deaths with stability of repair in most cases at follow-up controls. TVr using ePTFE neochordae has been reported so far in a limited number of patients. Nevertheless, it appears a feasible and reproducible technique to be added routinely to the surgical armamentarium during TVr.

Published: July 2024

This paper presents a numerical simulation study on the coupling of lasers and waterjets, focusing on the distribution of the spot power density. The analysis utilized a laser wavelength of 532 nm, chosen for its minimal energy attenuation in water. The key conditions for successful coupling were identified, including the necessity for the spot diameter of the laser beam to be smaller than the nozzle diameter of the waterjet fiber, the numerical aperture of the laser beam to be lower than that of the waterjet fiber, and the divergence angle of the laser to be smaller than the critical angle for total internal reflection. Using the ZEMAX simulation software, various coupling cases were explored, revealing that the radial displacement of the waterjet fiber relative to the laser axis has the most significant impact on the output power density, followed by angular deflection, whereas the axial displacement has the minimal effect. This study also investigates the combined effects of different influencing factors on the peak distribution of the output power density, uncovering distinct characteristics resulting from these deviations. Overall, the research findings provide theoretical insights for achieving effective coupling between fine waterjets and lasers as well as for the design of water-guided laser coupling devices.

Context Distribution and abundance of the three northern Australian tree-rat species, Conilurus penicillatus, Mesembriomys macrurus and M. gouldii, have contracted significantly since European settlement. All three species were recorded from the Mitchell Plateau, Western Australia, in the 1980s, enabling their niche separation to be assessed. Despite this study being conducted in 1987, the results remain relevant for conservation strategies for these species. Aims To determine the ecological separation among three tropical tree-rat species by documenting habitat preferences, habitat use and diet. Methods Live-trapping, radiotracking and spotlighting were used to assess relative abundance, habitat preference and movements of each species at nine sites on the Mitchell Plateau. Diet was determined using scat analysis; vegetation communities were described and characterised by pattern analysis. Key results C. penicillatus (number of individuals trapped (n) = 24) was most abundant, followed by M. macrurus (n = 8) and M. gouldii (n = 2). Mature open forest with a well-developed understorey was preferred by the predominantly arboreal M. gouldii (1 site), M. macrurus occupied more varied habitats (four sites), especially ecotones between vine thicket and open eucalypt forest and the boulder edges of the plateau, and C. penicillatus occupied the greatest variety of habitats (four sites) in open eucalypt woodland with a diverse shrub layer and ground cover almost absent to very dense, tall grass. Diet analysis identified M. gouldii as a frugivore (fruits, some flowers), M. macrurus as an omnivore (seeds, fruits, flowers, termites, other invertebrates), and C. penicillatus as a generalist (monocot and dicot leaves, seeds, flowers, fruits, some arthropods). Conclusions The largest of the species, M. gouldii, appeared to have the narrowest ecological niche, preferring more stable, structurally diverse, mature open forest that is infrequently burnt. The mid-sized M. macrurus occupies a broader range of habitats, particularly ecotones between vine thickets and eucalypt forest/woodland and woodland. C. penicillatus preferred open eucalypt woodland with a variable understorey. Implications With a changing climate, increased fire frequency, habitat degradation by introduced herbivores and predation by cats across the tropical savanna distribution of these threatened tree-rats, this study provides data to underpin actions that may ensure their survival.
Linguistic fieldwork as team science
Authors: Defina Rebecca , Dingemanse Mark , van Putten Saskia 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Linguistic fieldwork is increasingly moving forward from the traditional model of lone fieldworker
with a notebook to collaborative projects with key roles for native speakers and other experts and involving the use
of different kinds of stimulus-based elicitation methods as well as extensive video documentation. Several cohorts of
colleagues and students have been influenced by this inclusive and interdisciplinary view of linguistic fieldwork. We
describe the challenges and benefits of doing multi-methods collaborative fieldwork. As linguistics inevitably moves
into the direction of multiple methods, interdisciplinarity and team science, now is the time to reflect critically on
how best to contribute to a cumulative science of language.
Locative expressions and their semantic extensions in Tima
Authors: Dimmendaal Gerrit J. , Schneider-Blum Gertrud 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Tima (Niger-Congo, Sudan), has three copulae playing a central role in locative expressions. The
number-sensitive copulae, ŋ̀kɔ́ ‘cop:sg’ and ɲ̀cɛ́ ‘cop:pl’,
primarily link two non-verbal phrases. The third copula, ŋ̀kwíyʌ̀ ‘cop’, indicates
existence or availability. We discuss the distribution of these copulae in their core functions, in their extended
uses as tense-aspect markers and consecutive marker, thereby illustrating instances of heterosemy, as well as their
relation to focus marking.
Furthermore, five positional verbs play a role in locative expressions: hɘ́làk
‘stay, remain, reside’, hʊ̀ndɔ́nɔ́/hɘ̀ndáná ‘sit (down)’, dʊ́wà
‘stand (up)’, (k)ʌ́t̪ù ‘lie (down)’, and túùh ‘hang (up) (plur)’. The
broad use of these verbs is also investigated, particularly in combination with specifying adverbs in order to
describe collocational probabilities and restrictions.
Adposition classes in Tafi and Sɛlɛɛ
Authors: Bobuafor Mercy , Agbetsoamedo Yvonne 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to describe and compare the adposition classes of two Ghana-Togo
Mountain (GTM) languages: Tafi (KA-GTM) and Sɛlɛɛ (NA-GTM). The core of the preposition classes in the two languages
consists of a (general) locative and comitative prepositions, with Tafi showing the grammaticalization of a number of
verb forms into prepositions. Both languages exhibit the postpositional use of body part nouns and locatives. There
are debates as to whether Kwa languages have two classes of adpositions. The paper argues that both languages indeed
have two adposition classes – prepositions and postpositions and shows the asymmetry in the distribution of the
members of each class in both languages.
Lost siblings
Authors: Yakpo Kofi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The two related English-lexifier creole languages Krio (Sierra Leone) and Pichi (Equatorial Guinea)
have diverged due to differing contact ecologies since their split in the 19th century. Krio is spoken alongside its
lexifier English as well as Atlantic and Mande adstrates. Pichi is spoken alongside Bantu adstrates and has been in
contact with its superstrate Spanish, but not with English. I analyse and compare tense, aspect, and mood categories
as well as participant marking and serial verb constructions to show that (a) Krio has become more similar to English
than Pichi to Spanish because existing overlaps between creole and lexifier forms have facilitated transfer; (b) both
Krio and Pichi have, respectively, aligned themselves with the Macro-Sudan and Bantu spread zone typological profiles
of their ecologies. I interpret the findings via the stratal-areal contact model (Yakpo 2017a) to explain the divergence of Krio and Pichi as part of the differentiation of the whole
African Caribbean English Creole cluster.
Caused accompanied motion in a direction
Authors: Hellwig Birgit 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The concepts bring and take belong to a semantic domain that can be characterized
as events of caused accompanied motion in a direction. This contribution investigates the expression of this domain in
Katla (Niger-Congo; Sudan) within a corpus of naturalistic data, shows that Katla employs complex expressions (where
motion, caused motion and possession verbs combine with venitive and comitative derivational extensions), and relates
these findings to recent typological research in this domain. The contribution is set within a research tradition that
investigates cross-linguistic lexicalization patterns.
Constructions with verbal nouns in Iraqw
Authors: Mous Maarten , Alphonce Chrispina 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Iraqw has a number of morphological means to derive nouns from verbs. All of these can develop
specific meanings but it is the nominalisation that expresses the action of the verb that allows for the expression of
arguments, irrespective of the actual nominalisation morpheme. These arguments (patient or agent) can be expressed as
possessive elements in noun phrases. Despite the fact that the deverbal noun is fully nominal in morphological
characteristics, the deverbal noun can occur in constructions in which its semantic argument (patient or agent) is
expressed as an object to the main verb. There are four constructions to integrate a deverbal noun in a clause. We
provide an overview of the formal characteristics of these constructions.

Abstract
With the booming development of modern industrial technology, rotating machinery fault diagnosis is of great significance to improve the safety, efficiency and sustainable development of industrial production. Machine learning as an effective solution for fault identification, has advantages over traditional fault diagnosis solutions in processing complex data, achieving automation and intelligence, adapting to different fault types, and continuously optimizing. It has high application value and broad development prospects in the field of fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. Therefore, this article reviews machine learning and its applications in intelligent fault diagnosis technology and covers advanced topics in emerging deep learning techniques and optimization methods. Firstly, this article briefly introduces the theories of several main machine learning methods, including Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) and related emerging deep learning technologies such as Transformer, adversarial neural network (GAN) and graph neural network (GNN) in recent years. The optimization techniques for diagnosing faults in rotating machinery are subsequently investigated. Then, a brief introduction is given to the papers on the application of these machine learning methods in the field of rotating machinery fault diagnosis, and the application characteristics of various methods are summarized. Finally, this survey discusses the problems to be solved by machine learning in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery and proposes an outlook.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
One of the key critical technologies in the digital revolution of measurement technology is digital twin. The literature now in publication indicates that the advancement and use of digital twin technology will raise the bar for improvement in the measuring sector. The current literature on the creation and use of digital twin technology is reviewed first, followed by a list of recognized definitions and a summary of the three main categories of digital twin models for easy reference. The main drawbacks of conventional measurement technology in the application process are enumerated here: direct measurement is challenging, measuring multiple parameters at once is challenging, sensors’ influence cannot be disregarded, and the accuracy of measurement results is not satisfactory. To address these issues, this review outlines the benefits and potential uses of digital twin technology in measurement, as well as a summary of six significant contributions. Strong application and robustness, the ability to visualize the process of changing a measurement parameter, simultaneous measurement of many parameters, cheap measurement costs, data security, integrity, high availability, and intelligent measurement are only a few of these features. It is explored where digital twin research in measurement technology is headed in the future. A new digital solution and path for measuring technology development are offered by the digital twin and virtual sensor simulation methods.
Near-infrared detection based on the excitation of hot electrons in Au/Si microcone array
Authors: Zhang Zhifang , Yan Jia , You Jie , Zhu Yanyan , Wang Liming , Zhong Zhenyang , Jiang Zuimin 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Although the photoresponse cut-off wavelength of Si is about 1100 nm due to the Si bandgap energy, the internal photoemission effect (IPE) of the Au/Si junction in Schottky detector can extend the absorption wavelength, which makes it a promising candidate for the Si-based infrared detector. However, due to low light absorption, low photon–electron interaction, and poor electron injection efficiency, the near-infrared light detection efficiency of the Schottky detector is still insufficient. The synergistic effect of Si nano/microstructures with a strong light trapping effect and nanoscale Au films with surface plasmon enhanced absorption may provide an effective solution for improving the detection efficiency. In this paper, a large-area periodic Si microcone array covered by an Au film has successfully been fabricated by one-time dry etching based on the mature polystyrene microspheres lithography technique and vacuum thermal deposition, and its properties for hot electron-based near infrared photodetection are investigated. Optical measurements show that the 20 nm-thick Au covered Si microcone array exhibits a low reflectance and a strong absorption (about 85%) in wide wavelength range (900–2500 nm), and the detection responsivity can reach a value as high as 17.1 and 7.0 mA W−1 at 1200 and 1310 nm under the front illumination, and 35.9 mA W−1 at 1310 nm under the back illumination respectively. Three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D-FDTD) simulation results show that the enhanced local electric field in the Au layer distributes near the air/Au interface under the front illumination and close to the Au/Si interface under the back illumination. The back illumination favors the injection of photo-generated hot electrons in Au layer into Si, which can explain the higher responsivity under the back illumination. Our research is expected to promote the practical application of Schottky photodetectors to Si-compatible near infrared photodetectors.
Helical close-packing of anisotropic tubes
Authors: Greenvall Benjamin R , Grason Gregory M 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Helically close-packed states of filaments are common in natural and engineered material systems, ranging from nanoscopic biomolecules to macroscopic structural components. While the simplest models of helical close-packing, described by the ideal rope model, neglect anisotropy perpendicular to the backbone, physical filaments are often quite far from circular in their cross-section. Here, we consider an anisotropic generalization of the ideal rope model and show that cross-section anisotropy has a strongly non-linear impact on the helical close-packing configurations of helical filaments. We show that the topology and composition of the close-packing landscape depends on the cross-sectional aspect ratio and is characterized by several distinct states of self-contact. We characterize the local density of these distinct states based on the notion of confinement within a ‘virtual’ cylindrical capillary, and show that states of optimal density vary strongly with the degree of anisotropy. While isotropic filaments are densest in a straight configuration, any measure of anisotropy leads to helicity of the maximal density state. We show the maximally dense states exhibit a sequence of transitions in helical geometry and cross-sectional tilt with increasing anisotropy, from spiral tape to spiral screw packings. Furthermore, we show that maximal capillary density saturates in a lower bound for volume fraction of

in the large-anisotropy, spiral-screw limit. While cross-sectional anisotropy is well-known to impact the mechanical properties of filaments, our study shows its strong effects to shape the configuration space and packing efficiency of this elementary material motif.
Photometric and Spectroscopic Study of Ten Low Mass Ratio Contact Binary Systems: Orbital Stability, O’Connell Effect and Infrared Calcium Line Filling

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Low mass ratio contact binary systems are more likely to have unstable orbits and potentially merge. In addition, such systems exhibit characteristics such as starspots and high energy emissions (UV) suggestive of chromospheric and magnetic activity. Light curve modeling of ten contact binary systems is reported. All were found to be of extreme low mass ratio ranging from 0.122 to 0.24 and three were found to be potentially unstable and possible merger candidates. Filling of the infrared calcium absorption lines is a marker of increased chromospheric activity. We use the available Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope spectra along with matched standard spectra (broadened for rotation) to measure the excess filling of the central core depression flux of the two main infrared calcium absorption lines λ8542 and λ8662. We find that all reported contact binaries have excess filling of the core flux in the infrared calcium lines. Three of the systems reported were also observed by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer mission and we find that all three have features of excess ultraviolet emissions further adding evidence for increased chromospheric activity in low mass ratio contact binaries. Analysis of both orbital stability and absorption line filling is dependent on the determination of geometric and absolute parameters from light curve modeling. Not an insignificant number of contact binary light curves exhibit the O’Connell effect, usually attributed to starspots. We discuss the inclusion of starspots in light curve solutions and how they influence the geometric and absolute parameters.
How general is the Jensen–Varadhan large deviation functional for 1D conservation laws?
Authors: Barré Julien , Feliachi Ouassim 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Starting from a microscopic particle model whose hydrodynamic limit under hyperbolic space-time scaling is a 1D conservation law, we derive the large deviation rate function encoding the probability to observe a density profile which is a non entropic shock, and compare this large deviation rate function with the classical Jensen-Varadhan functional, valid for the totally asymmetric exclusion process and the weakly asymmetric exclusion process in the strong asymmetry limit. We find that these two functionals have no reason to coincide, and in this sense Jensen-Varadhan functional is not universal. However, they do coincide in a small Mach number limit, suggesting that universality is restored in this regime. We then compute the leading order correction to the Jensen-Varadhan functional.
