AbstractBackgroundMyofibromas are rare benign neoplasms composed of myoid cells and myofibroblasts. This study aimed to systematically review case reports and a series of myofibromas (MF) and myofibromatosis (MFT) occurring in the oral and maxillofacial regions in order to describe their main clinicopathological features.MethodsThis systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines. Electronic searches were conducted in 2023 in four databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EMBASE. A manual search and a search in the grey literature were also conducted. The lesions were classified as MF or MFT according to their original report.ResultsA total of 169 cases were included in this systematic review. Men were slightly more affected, with a painless nodule. When occurring in soft tissue, MF usually developed in the gingiva (mean age:29.23 ± 21.93 years) and when it was intra‐osseous, it occurred more frequently in the posterior mandible (mean age:14.33 ± 15.62 years). MFT occurred mainly in the mandible and was predominantly described as well‐circumscribed masses of spindle cells organized in fascicles with a prominent vascular activity in a hemangiopericytoma‐like pattern. The lesions were mainly positive for smooth muscle actin and vimentin immunomarkers. Surgical excision was the treatment of choice in the majority of cases and recurrence was observed in only three cases.ConclusionMF and MFT affect more men, with an indolent clinical course. Intra‐osseous tumors and MFT seem to occur more frequently in younger individuals. These lesions seem to have a good prognosis and low recurrence.

SummaryCRISPR‐Cas9 is widely used for genome editing, but its PAM sequence requirements limit its efficiency. In this study, we explore Faecalibaculum rodentium Cas9 (FrCas9) for plant genome editing, especially in rice. FrCas9 recognizes a concise 5′‐NNTA‐3′ PAM, targeting more abundant palindromic TA sites in plant genomes than the 5′‐NGG‐3′ PAM sites of the most popular SpCas9. FrCas9 shows cleavage activities at all tested 5′‐NNTA‐3′ PAM sites with editing outcomes sharing the same characteristics of a typical CRISPR‐Cas9 system. FrCas9 induces high‐efficiency targeted mutagenesis in stable rice lines, readily generating biallelic mutants with expected phenotypes. We augment FrCas9's ability to generate larger deletions through fusion with the exonuclease, TREX2. TREX2‐FrCas9 generates much larger deletions than FrCas9 without compromise in editing efficiency. We demonstrate TREX2‐FrCas9 as an efficient tool for genetic knockout of a microRNA gene. Furthermore, FrCas9‐derived cytosine base editors (CBEs) and adenine base editors (ABE) are developed to produce targeted C‐to‐T and A‐to‐G base edits in rice plants. Whole‐genome sequencing‐based off‐target analysis suggests that FrCas9 is a highly specific nuclease. Expression of TREX2‐FrCas9 in plants, however, causes detectable guide RNA‐independent off‐target mutations, mostly as single nucleotide variants (SNVs). Together, we have established an efficient CRISPR‐FrCas9 system for targeted mutagenesis, large deletions, C‐to‐T base editing, and A‐to‐G base editing in plants. The simple palindromic TA motif in the PAM makes the CRISPR‐FrCas9 system a promising tool for genome editing in plants with an expanded targeting scope.
A review of dynamic optimization in aquaculture production economics
Authors: Domínguez‐May Roger , Hernández Juan M. , Velázquez‐Abunader Iván 
Published: May 2024

AbstractDynamic optimization (DO) has been applied to aquaculture industry to determine optimal management strategies of aquaculture production systems. Optimal control of feeding, optimal stocking successions, and harvesting time among other factors has been studied. This work shows a review of the application of optimal control theory (OCT) and dynamic programming in economics and management of aquaculture. The Pontriagyn's maximum principle and the Bellman's optimality are the most commonly used mechanisms to solve control problems that optimize the producer's benefit or cost. Recently, model‐based predictive control has also been applied. Such tools have been used in aspects involving the design, planning, and monitoring of variables relevant to the optimal management of the culture system. It was found that in aquaculture there is low scientific productivity in the application of DO in bioeconomic models. In this review, an example of OCT applied to the control of feeding of farmed tilapia using a bioeconomic model is shown. DO represents a useful tool for optimal decision‐making and this review discusses the implications of the use of DO in aquaculture and recommendations for its use in the future.
Chief Executive Officer's national culture and bank risk‐taking behavior: International evidence
Authors: Luong Quang Duy , Vo Duc Hong , Ho Chi Minh 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis paper examines the effect of the national culture of the chief executive officers (CEOs) on their risk‐taking behavior in managing the banks, leading to banks' instability using a sample of 805 CEOs for 517 commercial banks in 33 countries from 2011 to 2017. Our empirical results confirm that bank risk‐taking behavior is negatively associated with the national culture of the CEOs who score high on the individualistic culture dimension. We also find that bank risk is likely to increase under the management of CEOs coming from high power distance countries. These results have largely remained unchanged across different settings.

AbstractQuantitative MRI (qMRI) measures are useful in assessing musculoskeletal tissues, but application to tendon has been limited. The purposes of this study were to optimize, identify sources of variability, and establish reproducibility of qMRI to assess Achilles tendon. Additionally, preliminarily estimates of effect of tendon pathology on qMRI metrics and structure–function relationships between qMRI measures and ankle performance were examined. T1, T1ρ, T2, and T2* maps of the Achilles tendon were obtained using a 3T MRI scanner. In participants with asymptomatic tendons (n = 21), MRI procedures were repeated twice, and region of interest selection was performed by three raters. Variance decomposition and reproducibility statistics were completed. To estimate the effect of pathology, qMRI measures from individuals with asymptomatic tendons were compared to qMRI measures from a pilot group of individuals with Achilles tendinopathy (n = 7). Relationships between qMRI and ankle performance measures were assessed. Between‐participant variation accounted for the majority of variability (46.7%–64.0%) in all qMRI measures except T2*. ICCs met or exceeded 0.7 for all qMRI measures when averaged across raters or scans. Relaxation times were significantly longer in tendinopathic tendons (mean (SD) T1: 977.8 (208.6) ms, T1ρ: 35.4 (7.1) ms, T2: 42.8 (7.9) ms, T2*: 14.1 (7.6) ms, n = 7) compared to asymptomatic control tendons (T1: 691.7 (32.4) ms, T1ρ: 24.0 (3.6) ms, T2: 24.4 (7.5) ms, T2*: 9.5 (3.4) ms, n = 21) (p < 0.011 for all comparisons). T1 related to functional performance measures in symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Study findings suggest that qMRI is reliable to assess the Achilles tendon. qMRI quantitatively assesses the presence of tendon pathology and relates to functional performance outcomes, supporting the utility of incorporating qMRI in research and clinic.

Este trabalho traz o seguinte problema de pesquisa: como os tribunais nacionais, em especial o Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro, têm exercido o controle de convencionalidade em relação à aplicabilidade da Resolução n° 22 de novembro de 2018 da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos? A hipótese defendida é que o Judiciário doméstico, sobretudo o TJRJ, não está realizando o controle de convencionalidade em relação à Resolução, pois não há um consenso acerca da sua aplicação, prevalecendo uma ausência de diálogo entre o Judiciário doméstico e os órgãos internacionais de proteção de direitos humanos, o que pode ensejar uma eventual responsabilização internacional do Brasil. O estudo apresenta os seguintes objetivos: a) analisar o histórico da Corte, seus princípios, funcionamento, competência e jurisdição; b) traçar um panorama da jurisprudência da Corte sobre condições degradantes no cárcere em cotejo com a Resolução n° 22 e o caso que ensejou sua edição; c) debater o controle de convencionalidade a partir da aplicação da Resolução, em especial no TJRJ. Utiliza-se o método indutivo (GUSTIN, DIAS, 2002) em uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e exploratória, realizada por uma abordagem bibliográfica e documental (LAKATOS; MARCONI, 2017) e de levantamento de decisões. Realizou-se consulta à jurisprudência em mecanismo de busca do sítio eletrônico do TJRJ, catalogando processos de 2018 a 2022 com as seguintes palavras-chave: “Resolução da Corte IDH”, “22/11/2018” e “cômputo em dobro”. Apenas a segunda instância faz parte da análise, por ser responsável pela estabilização do entendimento dentro do TJRJ.

Picard sheaves, local Brauer groups, and topological modular forms
Authors: Antieau Benjamin , Meier Lennart , Stojanoska Vesna 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWe develop tools to analyze and compare the Brauer groups of spectra such as periodic complex and real ‐theory and topological modular forms, as well as the derived moduli stack of elliptic curves. In particular, we prove that the Brauer group of is isomorphic to the Brauer group of the derived moduli stack of elliptic curves. Our main computational focus is on the subgroup of the Brauer group consisting of elements trivialized by some étale extension, which we call the local Brauer group. Essential information about this group can be accessed by a thorough understanding of the Picard sheaf and its cohomology. We deduce enough information about the Picard sheaf of and the (derived) moduli stack of elliptic curves to determine the structure of their local Brauer groups away from the prime 2. At 2, we show that they are both infinitely generated and agree up to a potential error term that is a finite 2‐torsion group.
On Distinguishability of Anomalies as Physical Faults or Actuation Cyberattacks
Authors: Roy Tanushree , Dey Satadru 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Increased automation has created an impetus to integrate infrastructure with wide-spread connectivity in order to improve e ciency, sustainability, autonomy, and security. Nonetheless, this reliance on connectivity and the inevitability of complexity in this system increase the vulnerabilities to physical faults or degradation and external cyber-threats. However, strategies to counteract faults and cyberattacks would be widely di erent and thus it is vital to not only detect but also to identify the nature of the anomaly that is present in these systems. In this work, we propose a mathematical framework to distinguish between physical faults and cyberattack using a sliding mode based unknown input observer. Finally, we present simulation case studies to distinguish between physical faults and cyberattacks using the proposed distinguishability metric and criterion. The simulation results show that the proposed framework successfully distinguishes between faults and cyberattacks.

Published: May 2024

Combined use of action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) is an increasingly popular motor-simulation intervention, which involves observing movements on video while simultaneously imagining the feeling of movement execution. Measuring and reporting participant imagery-ability characteristics are essential in motor-simulation research, but no measure of AOMI ability currently exists. Accordingly, the AOMI Ability Questionnaire (AOMI-AQ) was developed to address this gap in the literature. In Study 1, two hundred eleven participants completed the AOMI-AQ and the kinesthetic imagery subscales of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 and Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire-2. Following exploratory factor analysis, an 8-item AOMI-AQ was found to correlate positively with existing motor-imagery measures. In Study 2, one hundred seventy-four participants completed the AOMI-AQ for a second time after a period of 7–10 days. Results indicate a good test–retest reliability for the AOMI-AQ. The new AOMI-AQ measure provides a valid and reliable tool for researchers and practitioners wishing to assess AOMI ability.

Abstract
The viscoelastic properties and structure of solutions of mixed wormlike micelles based on a zwitterionic surfactant, oleylamidopropyldimethylcarboxybetaine (OAPB), and positively charged oleylamidopropyldimethylamine (OAPA) have been studied at different ratios between the components. At a small fraction of the cationic surfactant, OAPA, the solution exhibits viscoelastic properties characteristic of semidiluted solutions of entangled wormlike micelles, the presence of which has been confirmed by cryogenic electron microscopy data. It has been found that, as the molar fraction of the charged surfactant increases to 0.1, the viscosity and relaxation time of the solutions decrease by a factor of three, and the values of the storage modulus remain unchanged at short stress action times. The studied surfactants have a similar structure; therefore, when replacing zwitterionic OAPB molecules by positively charged OAPA molecules, the main factor of variations in the properties and structure is the enhancement of the electrostatic repulsion on the micelle surface. It has been shown that this factor leads to a decrease in the average length of micelles and an increase in their number, which have a weak effect on the rheological properties of the system as long as the length of the micelles is larger than the length of the subchains in the network. With an increase in the molar fraction of OAPA from 0.1 to 0.5, the viscosity and relaxation time drop drastically by several orders of magnitude and the viscoelastic response of the solution is lost; i.e., the network is destroyed. This transition from a semidilute solution to a dilute one is explained by a decrease in the length of the wormlike micelles and the formation of spherical ones. Cryogenic electron microscopy images have confirmed the formation of a mixture of long and short wormlike micelles with spherical micelles at an OAPA molar fraction of 0.5.

Abstract
The acoustic holography method was used to characterize a therapeutic focused fully populated 256-element ultrasonic transducer array. Elements of the array with the shape of equal area polygons are densely arranged in an irregular pattern on a spherically concave surface with a radius of curvature of 150 mm and a diameter of 200 mm. The array has a central frequency of 1.2 MHz and is designed to operate in water. The performance of individual array elements was studied based on the holographically reconstructed normal velocity distribution over the array surface. It was shown that with the same electrical signals applied to the elements, their acoustic responses had a phase deviation relative to the nominal values, which can be caused either by the asphericity of the array surface, or by the introduction of additional phase delays by the electrical matching network. To compensate for the detected parasitic phase shifts of the elements and restore the effective sphericity of the radiating surface, the Verasonics V-1 control system was used. The hologram measured after making the correction, as well as the shape of the focal region and acoustic pressure magnitude at the focus, separately measured by a hydrophone, showed that the proposed method reconstructed the nominal operating parameters of the array with high accuracy.

AbstractThe cylindrical drift chamber is the most innovative part of the MEG II detector, the upgraded version of the MEG experiment. The MEG II chamber differs from the MEG one because it is a single volume cylindrical structure, instead of a segmented one, chosen to improve its resolutions and efficiency in detecting low energy positrons from muon decays at rest. In this paper, we show the characteristics and performances of this fundamental part of the MEG II apparatus and we discuss the impact of its higher resolution and efficiency on the sensitivity of the MEG II experiment. Because of its innovative structure and high quality resolution and efficiency the MEG II cylindrical drift chamber will be a cornerstone in the development of an ideal tracking detector for future positron-electron collider machines.

Investigating the role of surface-modified 3D printed titanium implants in modulating oral soft tissue closure and antimicrobial properties. Eighteen 6-month-old healthy adult New Zealand White rabbits were selected as experimental animals, the left and right mandibular teeth of each experimental animal were randomly divided into two groups, and the bilateral first premolar teeth were extracted after general anesthesia, and one implant was implanted into each of the magnesium/zinc ionized surface-treated group (experimental group) and the surface-untreated group (control group), with a total of 36 implants, i.e., 18 implants for the experimental group and 18 implants for the control group. Bilateral mandibular samples from both groups were removed after 2 and 4 weeks of implantation to investigate the attachment and spreading of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) on the surface of the samples, their proliferative and migratory behaviors as well as the expression levels of related gene proteins (CoL-1 and TGF-β), and HE staining of the soft tissues of the samples and inflammatory cell counts. After 2 and 4 weeks of implantation, the experimental group’s HGFs adhesion and spreading were significantly better than that of the control group, the migration and proliferation of HGFs were significantly greater than that of the control group ( p < .05), and the expression of CoL-1 and TGF-β genes was significantly higher than that of the control group ( p < .05), and the inflammatory cell count was significantly smaller than that of the control group ( p < .05). Surface modification by magnesium and zinc ions enhances the sealing performance and antimicrobial performance of 3D printed titanium implants in oral soft tissues, with significant effects.

Published: May 2024

Background: The posterior tibial slope (PTS) is an important feature in knee joint biomechanics and indicates anterior-posterior knee stability. Increased PTS is a known risk factor for both primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and postreconstruction rerupture. Purpose: To investigate the effect of long-term exposure to ACL deficiency on the PTS and the sagittal anatomy of the proximal tibia. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 44 patients (38 men, 6 women) with a history of knee injury and ACL rupture confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and physical examination were included in this study. Patients were divided into those with chronic ACL deficiency (group 1: injured ≥5 years prior; n = 22) and acute ACL deficiency (group 2: injured <1 year prior; n = 22). The medial and lateral tibial plateau PTS and anterior tibial translation were measured on monopodal weightbearing knee radiographs at 20° of flexion. The mechanical tibiofemoral angle (MTFA) and the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) were measured using an orthoroentgenogram. The side-to-side difference between the affected and unaffected knees was also calculated for all measurements. Results: The mean duration of exposure to ACL deficiency was 7.6 years (range, 5-15 years) in group 1 and 4.4 months (range, 1-11 months) in group 2. Regarding the side-to-side differences in angular measurements, a higher medial PTS (affected vs unaffected: 12.4° vs 10.1°; P = .007), higher lateral PTS (11° vs 8.9°; P = .011), and increased varus alignment on both the MTFA (4.3° vs 2.4°; P = .036) and the MPTA (84.9° vs 86.3°; P = .033) were found in group 1, while no significant differences in angular measurements were found in group 2. Compared with group 2, patients in group 1 had a significantly higher side-to-side difference in the medial PTS (2.3° vs 0.1°; P = .0001), lateral PTS (2.1° vs 0.4°; P = .0001), and MPTA (1.4° vs 0.1°; P = .002). Conclusion: This study showed that the affected knees of patients with chronic ACL deficiency (≥5 years) had higher medial and lateral PTS compared with the unaffected contralateral knees. Therefore, when planning ACL reconstruction for patients with a history of long-term ACL deficiency, it is crucial to measure the preoperative PTS accurately.
