Type parameter estimation of 2D‐GTD model based on ADMM approach
Authors: Jin Mingming , Wang Jun , Wei Shaoming , Zeng Zhiqiang , Zhang Chi , Qu Fangrui 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe type parameter helps in scattering mechanism analysis and scattering centre identification. However, current approximate solution methods based on spectral estimation are noise‐sensitive and exhibit low accuracy. In this letter, a high‐precision approach for the type parameter based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is proposed. Logarithmic transformation is used to separate the type parameter and the amplitude from the coupling term, and initially obtain the closed‐form solution of the type parameter. Then, the regularization term of l2‐norm is used for denoising. Finally, a joint optimization model based on ADMM is constructed to effectively estimate the type parameter. Simulation results confirm the high accuracy of the proposed approach.
Joint beamforming design for full‐duplex wireless powered over‐the‐air computation systems with self‐energy recycling
Authors: Li Quanzhong , Yang Liang 
Published: May 2024

AbstractFor over‐the‐air computation (AirComp) systems, energy‐constrained sensors become a bottleneck to improve the performances. To address this issue, in this letter, a full‐duplex (FD) wireless powered AirComp system with self‐energy recycling is proposed, where all the nodes operate in the FD mode and the sensors can harvest energy from the hybrid access point (HAP)' signal and it's own transmit signal by self‐energy recycling. A joint beamforming design problem is formulated and an effective iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the non‐convex optimization problem, aiming to minimize the computation mean square error at the HAP under the transmit power constraints of the HAP and sensors. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
Synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition based on cost‐sensitive awareness generative adversarial network for imbalanced data
Authors: Qin Jikai , Liu Zheng , Ran Lei , Xie Rong 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn military contexts, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) models frequently encounter the challenge of imbalanced data, resulting in a noticeable degradation in the recognition performance. Therefore, the authors propose a cost‐sensitive awareness generative adversarial network (CAGAN) model, aiming to improve the robustness of ATR models under imbalanced data. Firstly, the authors introduce a convolutional neural network (DCNN) to extract features. Then, the synthetic minority over‐sampling technique (SMOTE) is applied to achieve feature‐level balancing for the minority category. Finally, a CAGAN model is designed to perform the final classification task. In this process, the GAN‐based adversarial training mechanism enriches the diversity of training samples, making the ATR model more comprehensive in understanding different categories. In addition, the cost matrix increases the penalty for misclassification results and further improves the classification accuracy. Simultaneously, the cost‐sensitive awareness can accurately adjust the cost matrix through training data, thus reducing dependence on expert knowledge and improving the generalisation performance of the ATR model. This model is an end‐to‐end ATR scheme, which has been experimentally validated on the MSTAR and OpenSARship datasets. Compared to other methods, the proposed method exhibits strong robustness in dealing with various imbalanced scenarios and significant generalisation capability across different datasets.

Published: May 2024

AbstractNeoplastic and non-neoplastic soft tissue masses around the knee are often incidental findings. Most of these lesions are benign with typical imaging characteristics that allow a confident diagnosis. However, some of these incidental neoplastic masses are characterized by morbidity and potential mortality. This review highlights the typical aspects of these lesions, facilitating a correct diagnosis.
Posteromedial Corner Injuries of the Knee: Imaging Findings
Authors: Fusco Stefano , Albano Domenico , Gitto Salvatore , Serpi Francesca , Messina Carmelo , Sconfienza Luca Maria 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe posteromedial corner (PMC) of the knee is an anatomical region formed by ligamentous structures (medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament, oblique popliteal ligament), the semimembranosus tendon and its expansions, the posteromedial joint capsule, and the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Injuries to the structures of the PMC frequently occur in acute knee trauma in association with other ligamentous or meniscal tears. The correct assessment of PMC injuries is crucial because the deficiency of these supporting structures can lead to anteromedial rotation instability or the failure of cruciate ligaments grafts. This article reviews the anatomy and biomechanics of the PMC to aid radiologists in identifying injuries potentially involving PMC components.
Demystifying the “Dark Side of the Knee”: An Update on Imaging of the Posterolateral Corner
Authors: Castro Miguel Oliveira , Baptista Diogo Correia , Afonso P. Diana 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is a complex anatomical-functional unit that includes ligamentous and tendinous structures that are crucial for joint stability. This review discusses the intricate anatomy, biomechanics, and imaging modalities, as well as the current challenges in diagnosing PLC injuries, with an emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recognizing the normal MRI anatomy is critical in identifying abnormalities and guiding effective treatment strategies. Identification of the smaller structures of the PLC, traditionally difficult to depict on imaging, may not be necessary to diagnose a clinically significant PLC injury. Injuries to the PLC, often associated with cruciate ligament tears, should be promptly identified because failure to recognize them may result in persistent instability, secondary osteoarthritis, and cruciate graft failure.
Advanced Imaging of Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Goller Sophia Samira , Sutter Reto 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe prevalence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing with the aging population. Although long-term results are satisfactory, suspected postoperative complications often require imaging with the implant in place. Advancements in computed tomography (CT), such as tin prefiltration, metal artifact reduction algorithms, dual-energy CT with virtual monoenergetic imaging postprocessing, and the application of cone-beam CT and photon-counting detector CT, allow a better depiction of the tissues adjacent to the metal. For magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), high bandwidth (BW) optimization, the combination of view angle tilting and high BW, as well as multispectral imaging techniques with multiacquisition variable-resonance image combination or slice encoding metal artifact correction, have significantly improved imaging around metal implants, turning MRI into a useful clinical tool for patients with suspected TKA complications.
Endowment asset allocations: insights and strategies
Authors: Arnold Tom , Earl John H. , Farizo Joseph , North David 
Published: May 2024

AbstractUsing monthly data from 1997 to 2023, we construct mean-variance optimized portfolios of common university endowment asset classes, including domestic equity, international equity, global bonds, hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and natural resources. We find substantial variation in optimal allocations to these asset classes across subperiods. Some asset classes are substantially more persistent in receiving allocations than others, while some asset classes rarely receive sizable allocations at all. Our results highlight the relevance of asset allocation in portfolio performance and may inform future decisions by institutional investors and endowment portfolio managers.
Gospel or curse: the impact of religious beliefs on energy poverty in rural China
Authors: Dong Jie , Ren Yanjun , Glauben Thomas 
Published: May 2024

AbstractEnergy poverty, especially in rural areas, has become a central focus of scholarly and policy discussions. However, there is a significant gap in understanding the impact of religious beliefs on this phenomenon. This paper aims to fill this gap by utilizing household survey data from the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) spanning three waves (2012, 2014, and 2016) to examine the causal link between religious beliefs and energy poverty, covering clean energy accessibility and affordability among rural residents. Our analysis unveils a substantial positive influence of religious beliefs on the likelihood of experiencing energy poverty, especially concerning accessibility and affordability. This effect is notably pronounced among males, ethnic minorities, and low-income groups. Low income and education are recognized as pivotal mediating factors through which religious beliefs contribute to energy poverty. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for formulating strategies to mitigate energy poverty in rural China, with a particular emphasis on the role of religious beliefs.

Published: May 2024

Context Knowledge of species’ distribution and habitat associations is fundamental for conservation planning and management, especially in the context of range-restricted taxa. The Critically Endangered Kaputar rock skink (Egernia roomi) is a high elevation species that is restricted to the Nandewar Ranges (New South Wales, Australia). The species was not formally recognised until 2019, with its distribution, ecology, and threats poorly known. Aims To determine the geographical distribution of the Kaputar rock skink and explore its ecology and threats. Methods We performed surveys throughout high elevation regions of Mount Kaputar National Park, targeting suitable habitat for the Kaputar rock skink (rock outcrops and plateaux). Species distributional modelling (SDM) was used to identify potentially suitable habitat outside of our search areas. Key results We detected the species at all historical record sites and at 15 new sites, increasing the species’ known area of occupancy (AOO) four-fold (from 8 km2 to 40 km2), and elevational range three-fold (from 1360–1480 m to 1147–1509 m). Conclusion The AOO for the species now exceeds the IUCN Red List threshold for Critically Endangered, but falls within the range for Endangered under Criterion B. Our SDMs indicated that all predicted suitable habitat for the species falls within the region that we surveyed in this study. Implications Our study provides valuable information on the geographic range of a threatened lizard species and evaluates the potential impact of large-scale fires on the persistence of the species.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of an investigation of the electrical, dielectric,
ferroelectric, and second-order nonlinear optical properties of
SrB4O7 synthesized by methods of both solid-state reaction (SSR)
and crystallization of a glass tape (GT). To obtain GTs of SrB4O7,
the melt consisting of appropriate precursors was rapidly cooled using a twin-roller. The prepared
GTs were crystallized at 730°C for different durations and analyzed by X-ray
diffraction. The formation of “extended” crystals in the central part of GTs due to the
application of the GT technology is discussed. The investigation of the current-voltage
characteristic of the sample prepared by SSR showed that its breakdown voltage is higher than 1000 V. The measurements of the dielectric parameters in the frequency range of 1 KHz–1 MHz showed that
the dielectric constant is about 7.5, and the dielectric loss varies from 0.002 to 0.0008. These
parameters are sufficiently stable in the temperature range from room temperature to
150°C. The ferroelectric properties of the GT crystallized at 730°C for 3 h were also investigated. At 20 kV/cm, a remnant polarization of 0.18 μC/cm2 was measured. Optical measurements showed that the intensity of
second-harmonic generation in the GT crystallized at 730°C for 3 h is 5.4 times
higher than that of KH2PO4 (KDP).

Published: May 2024

Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of diabetes, the healing of diabetic wounds has become a significant challenge for both healthcare professionals and patients. Recognizing the urgent need for effective solutions, it is crucial to develop suitable scaffolds specifically tailored for diabetic wound healing. In line with this objective, we have developed novel hybrid nanofibrous scaffolds by combining polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) and gelatin/poly(ε-caprolactone) (Gel/PCL) polymers through a double-nozzle electrospinning technique. In this study, we investigated the influence of the Gel/PCL blend ratio on the properties of the resulting nanofibers. Three different hybrid scaffold structures were examined: Gel/PCL (80:20)-PVA/CS (80:20), Gel/PCL (50:50)-PVA/CS (80:20), and Gel/PVA (20:80)-PVA/CS (80:20). Our findings demonstrate that the electrospun nanofibers of PVA/CS (80:20)-Gel/PCL (80:20) exhibited optimal mechanical performance, with a contact angle of approximately 54° and a diameter of 183 nm. Considering the crucial role of inhibiting bacterial adhesion in the success of implanted materials, we evaluated the cytocompatibility of the hybrid electrospun nanofibers using mouse fibroblast cells (L-929 cells). The in vitro cytotoxicity results obtained from L-929 fibroblast cell culture on the hybrid scaffolds revealed enhanced cell proliferation and appropriate cell morphology on the PVA/CS (80:20)-Gel/PCL (80:20) sample, indicating its capability to support tissue cell integration. Based on the information obtained from this study, the fabricated hybrid scaffold holds great promise for diabetic ulcer healing. Its optimal mechanical properties, suitable contact angle, and favorable cytocompatibility highlight its potential as a valuable tool in the field of diabetic wound healing. The development of such hybrid scaffolds represents a significant step forward in addressing the challenges associated with diabetic wound care.

Abstract
The change in the global energy production mix towards variable renewable energy sources requires efficient utilization of regulated rivers to optimise hydropower operations meet the needs of a changing energy market. However, the flexible operation of hydropower plants causes non-natural, sub-daily fluctuating flows in the receiving water bodies, often referred to as ‘hydropeaking’. Drastic changes in sub-daily flow regimes undermine attempts to improve river system health. Environmental decision makers, including permitting authorities and river basin managers facing the intense and increasing pressure on river environments, should consider ecosystem services and biodiversity issues more thoroughly. The need for research innovations in hydropeaking operation design to fulfil both the water and energy security responsibilities of hydropower is highlighted. Our paper outlines optimized hydropeaking design as a future research direction to help researchers, managers, and decision-makers prioritize actions that could enable better integration of river science and energy system planning. The goal of this is to find a balanced hydropower operation strategy.
Understanding the influence of soil moisture on heatwave characteristics in the contiguous United States
Authors: Gurung Tika Ram , Chen Liang 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In the context of global climate change, heatwaves are becoming increasingly significant because of the adverse impacts on human health and ecosystems. However, the quantification of heatwaves relies on different temperature metrics, and little is known about how the different types of heatwaves are affected by soil moisture. Using a set of observational datasets during the period 1981–2020, this study investigates the characteristics of warm-season heatwaves over the contiguous United States (CONUS) derived from three different temperature metrics (temperature, wet-bulb temperature, and equivalent temperature), and examines how different types of heatwaves are associated with soil moisture. Increasing trends of all types of heatwaves are observed in most parts of CONUS except for the central US, posing potential risks to human health. Due to limited evaporative cooling over dry soil, there is a substantial negative relationship between soil moisture and temperature-only heatwaves across the CONUS. Meanwhile, in some regions of the western and central CONUS, there is an evident positive relationship between soil moisture and humidity-included heatwaves, which represent the combined effects of temperature and humidity. The event-based analysis in Nebraska emphasizes that temperature-only heatwaves occur over relatively dry soil conditions, while humid heatwaves tend to occur over somewhat wet soil. Our results highlight the importance of considering different types of heatwaves and their relationship with soil moisture from the land-atmosphere coupling perspective, offering valuable insights for local and regional climate planning and mitigation.
Complicity as a Literary Concept
Authors: Craske Helen 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter associates literary complicity with shared criminal responsibility and guilt, as well as notions of cooperation, solidarity, and sociability. The term functions on a thematic and meta-literary level, since the presentation of illicit themes within literature intersect with, or enable, solidarity created through literature. This was particularly evident in late nineteenth-century France, due to ongoing debates about literary morality, post-1870 political upheaval, legal changes, education reforms, new scientific disciplines, and controversial literary genres. Yet ‘complicity’ emerges as a conceptual tool for literary study across different linguistic, geographical, and temporal contexts, due to its broad methodological and theoretical applicability. After exploring critical approaches associated with close reading, literary history, sociology of literature, and cultural studies, the introduction examines how theories of reader response, Bourdieu’s literary ‘field’, and homosociality contribute to the overarching theme. The book’s varied corpus, outlined in the chapter summaries, suggests how literary complicity cuts across cultural brows.
Framing Literature
Authors: Craske Helen 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter analyses fin-de-siècle visions of the formative and potentially corrupting influence of literary production, through the works of Paul Bourget (1852–1935). It considers how literature was perceived to ‘frame’ (shape or influence) a reader’s moral viewpoint, how bad influence was itself ‘framed’ (conceived of and depicted) by author-critics of the period, and how literature might be ‘framed’ (falsely accused of, or made to look responsible) for ‘crimes’ it did not actually commit. Examples of Bourget’s literary criticism, psychological novels, and thesis novels are analysed in dialogue with the author’s reception by fellow writer-critics, who accused him of being morally complicit with illicit behaviour and of pandering to denigrated aesthetic tastes. The chapter demonstrates how questions of reading and bad influence shaped Bourget’s literary trajectory, while implicating his critics as much as himself.
Writing Murder
Authors: Craske Helen 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers how fin-de-siècle writers appropriated the burgeoning genre of crime fiction to critique the judicial status quo and to valorise an alternative literary aesthetic. The first part compares three novels about complicity in murder, by Rachilde (1860–1953), Émile Zola (1840–1902), and Hector Malot (1830–1907). It examines how description and structural parallelism creates a haunting sense of guilt in the novels’ crime scenes, how confession scenes establish bonds of complicity between characters and incite further crimes, and how trial scenes displace blame and undermine received ideas about criminality. The second part demonstrates how avant-garde writers transformed criminal complicity into a source of literary solidarity. Analysing spoof journal articles and fictional works by Rachilde, Octave Mirbeau (1848–1917), Maurice Beaubourg (1859–1943), and Romain Coolus (1868–1953), it examines the meta-literary implications of aligning criminal association with literary endeavour.
Scandal and Collusion in Avant-Garde Media
Authors: Craske Helen 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines how two Decadent writers, Rachilde (1860–1953) and Jean Lorrain (1855–1906), manipulated scandal for the purposes of self-promotion, creating alternative forms of solidarity based on the mutual construction of illicit media personae. It analyses a series of intertextual and journalistic exchanges from the mid-1880s, including a debate about women writers (or ‘bluestockings’) in a little magazine (petite revue) called Le Zig-Zag, and two quasi-biographical novellas (romans à clef) by their mutual friend, Oscar Méténier (1859–1913). Playing up to the ambiguities of their gender identity and sexuality, the pair adopted revealing promotional strategies associated with the bluestocking figure, which earned them criticism in turn. By analysing the authors’ textual performances alongside their correspondence, the chapter suggests that such tactics involved an element of risk, because the public revelation of private information, however playful or theatrical, exposes the vulnerability of those involved.
Epilogue
Authors: Craske Helen 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The epilogue explains the impact of viewing literature as a complicit activity, on four interconnecting levels: the moral, thematic, social, and cultural. It synthesises the analysis of previous chapters, highlighting points of comparison between different themes and techniques in fin-de-siècle literary culture. Reflecting on how writers of the period positioned themselves in relation to predominant moral and legal norms, across a range of different genres, the chapter foregrounds how literature can establish connections between real-life individuals. It concludes by reflecting on scholars’ inevitable complicity with the texts, authors, and ideas they study, and by offering a broad view of literature and its relation to other cultural artefacts.
