Incorporating high-frequency information into edge convolution for link prediction in complex networks
Authors: Zhang Zhiwei , Xu Haifeng , Zhu Guangliang 
Published: March 2024

AbstractLink prediction in complex networks aims to mine hidden or to-be-generated links between network nodes, which plays a significant role in fields such as the cold start of recommendation systems, knowledge graph completion and biomedical experiments. The existing link prediction models based on graph neural networks, such as graph convolution neural networks, often only learn the low-frequency information reflecting the common characteristics of nodes while ignoring the high-frequency information reflecting the differences between nodes when learning node representation, which makes the corresponding link prediction models show over smoothness and poor performance. Focusing on links in complex networks, this paper proposes an edge convolutional graph neural network EdgeConvHiF that fuses high-frequency node information to achieve the representation learning of links so that link prediction can be realized by implementing the classification of links. EdgeConvHiF can also be employed as a baseline, and extensive experiments on real-world benchmarks validate that EdgeConvHiF not only has high stability but also has more advantages than the existing representative baselines.
A new R package to parse plant species occurrence records into unique collection events efficiently reduces data redundancy

Published: March 2024

AbstractBiodiversity data aggregators, such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) suffer from inflation of the number of occurrence records when data from different databases are merged but not fully reconciled. The ParseGBIF workflow is designed to parse duplicate GBIF species occurrence records into unique collection events (gatherings) and to optimise the quality of the spatial data associated with them. ParseGBIF provides tools to verify and standardize species scientific names according to the World Checklist of Vascular Plants taxonomic backbone, and to parse duplicate records into unique ‘collection events’, in the process compiling the most informative spatial data, where more than one duplicate is available, and providing crude estimates of taxonomic and spatial data quality. When GBIF occurrence records for a medium-sized vascular plant family, the Myrtaceae, were processed by ParseGBIF, the average number of records useful for spatial analysis increased by 180%. ParseGBIF could therefore be valuable in the evaluation of species’ occurrences at the national scale in support for national biodiversity plans, identification of plant areas important for biodiversity, sample bias estimation to inform future sampling efforts, and to forecast species range shifts in response to global climate change.

AbstractThe seasonal predictability of tropical cyclones (TC) in the western North Pacific (WNP) reported in previous studies are mainly based under the general consideration that the WNP is homogeneous in terms of its spatial and temporal characteristics. Here we present evidence that the western (Domain 1) and eastern (Domain 2) parts of the WNP exhibit spatial and seasonal asymmetric response to large-scale environments (e.g., asymmetrical sea surface temperature anomalies distribution) leading to distinct spatial and seasonal TC variability in the said domains. Exploring such asymmetries, we propose an alternative approach on the long-range predictability of TC genesis frequency in the WNP during its active TC season (i.e., June-November, JJASON) by separately predicting the TC genesis frequency in two domains (i.e., Domains 1 and 2) in two distinct seasons (i.e., June-August and September-October), respectively. Using a number of climate indices as predictors in different lead times, our regression-based models present its best significant seasonal predictability of TC genesis frequency during JJASON (i.e., r = 0.80, p < 0.01) that essentially captures the spatial and seasonal asymmetry in the WNP. It is expected that this study provides valuable insights on the long-range and more localized TC prediction in support of disaster risk reduction in the WNP region.

Published: March 2024

AbstractEmbryonic diapause in mammals is a temporary developmental delay occurring at the blastocyst stage. In contrast to other diapausing species displaying a full arrest, the blastocyst of the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) proliferates continuously and displays considerable morphological changes in the inner cell mass. We hypothesised that developmental progression also continues during this period. Here we evaluate the mRNA abundance of developmental marker genes in embryos during diapause and elongation. Our results show that morphological rearrangements of the epiblast during diapause correlate with gene expression patterns and changes in cell polarity. Immunohistochemical staining further supports these findings. Primitive endoderm formation occurs during diapause in embryos composed of around 3,000 cells. Gastrulation coincides with elongation and thus takes place after embryo reactivation. The slow developmental progression makes the roe deer an interesting model for unravelling the link between proliferation and differentiation and requirements for embryo survival.

Amplifying Access: Progress After 1 Year of Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
Authors: Coco Laura 
Published: March 2024

Purpose:
A number of barriers exist that limit access to hearing aids and services, including high cost, limited number of providers, and patients' perceived lack of need. The traditional model of hearing aid service delivery requires patients to undergo a hearing test, receive a medical evaluation or waiver, and receive a hearing aid fitting from qualified providers, such as a licensed audiologist. In an effort to improve access and affordability, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently established a new category of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids for adults with perceived mild–moderate hearing loss that can be purchased without the involvement of a professional. The purpose of this Viewpoint article is to reflect on the progress that has been accomplished in the inaugural year of OTC hearing aids.

Conclusions:
In the last year, hearing aids have become more readily available to consumers online and in stores. A number of companies have entered the OTC hearing aid market, leading to innovative designs and a variety of options for consumers. The regulations governing OTC hearing aids have also spurred increased attention on hearing care and created new opportunities for interprofessional collaboration. In addition, research has illustrated the real-world effectiveness of OTC hearing aids. Still, in some respects, the first year of OTC hearing aids has not met expectations. Evidence points to low adoption as well as misconceptions, including regarding the distinction between OTC and prescription hearing aids. Audiologists can play an important role in addressing misconceptions by increasing their own knowledge of the devices and talking about them with patients and in outreach activities. There are a number of outstanding needs, including to investigate U.S. consumers' satisfaction when using these devices long term and to evaluate the impact of OTC hearing aids in countries outside of the United States.

Published: March 2024

AbstractTo achieve high data rate transmission of virtual reality (VR) applications globally, a resource allocation algorithm based on Rate‐Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) in an integrated satellite‐terrestrial network (ISTN) is proposed. In this network, a user selection strategy is proposed. The maximum transmission power budgets of the base station and satellite, as well as the service quality constraints for all users, are considered. Then, a joint resource allocation problem is formulated. To tackle the non‐convex problem, auxiliary variables are introduced and the first‐order Taylor expansion method is used to convert it into a convex one. An iterative algorithm is proposed based on the successive convex approximation (SCA) to allocate rate and power resources. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly enhances the transmission rate and effectively satisfies the VR transmission rate requirements, when compared to benchmark algorithms.
Distribution system resilience improvement against hurricanes: optimal line hardening according to reconfiguration potentials

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn recent years, there has been a notable increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters related to global warming. Large‐scale blackouts caused by natural disasters demonstrate the extreme vulnerability of power systems to these devastations. Resilience planning is the key to preparing power systems for natural disasters by enhancing the vital infrastructure's robustness. This paper proposes a new resilience improvement framework based on resiliency assessment and optimal hardening to improve the distribution system's resiliency against hurricanes. The main goal is to find the optimal distribution system line hardening solution according to reconfiguration potentials after the hurricane to minimize the distribution system cost of energy not supplied. Fragility curves and Monte Carlo simulations are used for the distribution system resilience assessment. Poles and conductors are vulnerable components of distribution system lines; therefore, two hardening strategies have been outlined using measures like replacing old poles with new poles, upgrading pole classes, and vegetation management. This method is modelled as an optimization program considering budget limitations and load priorities and implemented by a genetic algorithm on the IEEE 33‐bus standard network. The results show that optimal line hardening according to network reconfiguration potentials significantly increased the distribution system's resilience.

ZusammenfassungWir berichten über einen 24-jährigen Patienten, der sich mit anhaltenden Oberbauchschmerzen, Übelkeit und Völlegefühl ohne Erbrechen seit 5 Monaten zur ambulanten endoskopischen Diagnostik vorstellte. Bei der körperlichen Untersuchung fiel eine Verhärtung im Epigastrium ohne Druckschmerzhaftigkeit auf. Endoskopisch zeigte sich lediglich eine Impression des Bulbus duodeni bei intakter Duodenalschleimhaut. Darüber hinaus lagen unauffällige Befunde in Gastroskopie und Ileokoloskopie vor. Abdomensonografisch zeigte sich im linken Leberlappen eine große inhomogene Raumforderung mit scharfer, unregelmäßiger Begrenzung. Der rechte Leberlappen wies eine komplett unauffällige Sonomorphologie auf, insbesondere keine Zeichen des Parenchymschadens oder einer Leberzirrhose. Entlang der oberen mesenterialen Gefäße stellten sich mehrere vergrößerte Lymphknoten mit Kontakt zum Bulbus duodeni dar. In der Kontrastmittelsonografie (CE-US) zeigte die Leberläsion das typische Perfusionsmuster eines hepatozellulären Karzinoms. Zur Klärung des malignitätsverdächtigen Befunds wurde eine sonografisch gesteuerte Stanzbiopsie durchgeführt. Die histopathologische Aufarbeitung ergab den Befund eines hepatozellulären Karzinoms vom fibrolamellären Subtyp.Mit diesem Fallbericht möchten wir zeigen, dass das HCC vom fibrolamellären Subtyp, trotz einer starken kollagenreichen bindegewebigen Stromakomponente in der Histopathologie, ein HCC-typisches Perfusionsmuster in der KM-Sonografie aufweist.

Photosensitization of semiconductors by excitation of chiral plasmonic metallic nanostructures has attracted much attention, not only for the analysis and detection of circularly polarized light but also for its potential applications in chiral photosynthesis. Although there have been reports on the detection of semiconductor-sensitized current in chiral nanostructures precisely fabricated by physical vapor deposition and/or lithography techniques, there have been no studies using plasmonic metal nanocolloids synthesized by chemical processes. In this study, we report the establishment of a fabrication method for large-area chiral photoelectrodes and the semiconductor photosensitization phenomenon realized using chiral plasmonic nanoparticles. Chiral plasmonic Au nanoparticles prepared by previously reported colloidal methods were immobilized onto a TiO2 thin film electrode by electrophoresis. When TiO2 electrodes loaded with chiral Au nanoparticles synthesized using L-cysteine were irradiated with circularly polarized light, left circularly polarized light irradiation at a wavelength of 500–600 nm generated a larger anodic photocurrent than right circularly polarized light irradiation at the same wavelength. This trend was reversed for TiO2 electrodes immobilized with colloidal Au nanoparticles synthesized with D-cysteine. From these results, we conclude that the efficiency of photocurrent generation by chiral plasmon excitation can be controlled by the polarization direction of the incident light.

Abstract
The remarkable capabilities of 2D plasmonic surfaces in controlling optical waves have garnered significant attention. However, the challenge of large-scale manufacturing of uniform, well-aligned, and tunable plasmonic surfaces has hindered their industrialization. To address this, we present a groundbreaking tunable plasmonic platform design achieved through magnetic field (MF) assisted ultrafast laser direct deposition in air. Through precise control of metal nanoparticles (NPs), with cobalt (Co) serving as the model material, employing an MF, and fine-tuning ultrafast laser parameters, we have effectively converted coarse and non-uniform NPs into densely packed, uniform, and ultrafine NPs (∼3 nm). This revolutionary advancement results in the creation of customizable plasmonic ‘hot spots,’ which play a pivotal role in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors. The profound impact of this designable plasmonic platform lies in its close association with plasmonic resonance and energy enhancement. When the plasmonic nanostructures resonate with incident light, they generate intense local electromagnetic fields, thus vastly increasing the Raman scattering signal. This enhancement leads to an outstanding 2–18 fold boost in SERS performance and unparalleled sensing sensitivity down to 10−10 M. Notably, the plasmonic platform also demonstrates robustness, retaining its sensing capability even after undergoing 50 cycles of rinsing and re-loading of chemicals. Moreover, this work adheres to green manufacturing standards, making it an efficient and environmentally friendly method for customizing plasmonic ‘hot spots’ in SERS devices. Our study not only achieves the formation of high-density, uniform, and ultrafine NP arrays on a tunable plasmonic platform but also showcases the profound relation between plasmonic resonance and energy enhancement. The outstanding results observed in SERS sensors further emphasize the immense potential of this technology for energy-related applications, including photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and clean water, propelling us closer to a sustainable and cleaner future.
Heteroclinic dynamics in network dynamical systems with higher-order interactions
Authors: Bick Christian , von der Gracht Sören 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Heteroclinic structures organize global features of dynamical systems. We analyse whether heteroclinic structures can arise in network dynamics with higher-order interactions which describe the nonlinear interactions between three or more units. We find that while commonly analysed model equations such as network dynamics on undirected hypergraphs may be useful to describe local dynamics such as cluster synchronization, they give rise to obstructions that allow to design of heteroclinic structures in phase space. By contrast, directed hypergraphs break the homogeneity and lead to vector fields that support heteroclinic structures.
Surgical ventricular reconstruction and intraoperative cryoablation in a patient with drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia and left ventricular thrombus: a case report
Authors: Lopez Maryuri Delgado , Vogler Julia , Aboud Anas , Heeger Christian-Hendrik , Tilz Roland Richard 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Despite modern techniques for ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT), the procedure faces challenges such as deep intramural substrates or inaccessibility of the pericardial space. We aim to present a case of successful surgical treatment of a patient with drug-refractory VT, an apical aneurysm, large left ventricular (LV) thrombus, and recurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks following failed epicardial catheter ablation.

Case summary
A 67-year-old male with a history of ischaemic cardiomyopathy was brought to the emergency room after a syncope because of VT. The VT was terminated by an external cardioversion prior to admission. The ICD interrogation showed an episode of sustained monomorphic VT with eight appropriate but mostly ineffective ICD shocks. An echocardiogram revealed an apical aneurysm with a thrombus. Anticoagulation and antiarrhythmic drug therapy were initiated. Days later, the patient suffered recurrent episodes of sustained VTs, refractory to pharmacological therapy, and epicardial ablation; therefore, following aneurysmectomy and thrombus removal, a reconstruction of the LV and surgical endocardial cryoablation were performed. In addition, ICD extraction was done due to recurrent bacteraemia with Staphylococcus aureus. A subcutaneous ICD was later implanted. After surgery, the patient remained free of any VT episodes during 44 months of follow-up.

Conclusion
Combined surgical ventricular reconstruction and intraoperative cryoablation may be considered as an alternative, highly effective therapy in patients with drug-refractory VTs in the setting of a LV thrombus.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) patients have a significantly higher risk of new-onset cancer and cancer-associated mortality, compared to subjects free of HF. While both the prevention and treatment of new-onset HF in patients with cancer have been investigated extensively, less is known about the prevention and treatment of new-onset cancer in patients with HF, and whether and how guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HF should be modified when cancer is diagnosed in HF patients. The purpose of this review is to elaborate and discuss the effects of pillar HF pharmacotherapies, as well as digoxin and diuretics on cancer, and to identify areas for further research and novel therapeutic strategies. To this end, in this review, (i) proposed effects and mechanisms of action of guideline-directed HF drugs on cancer derived from pre-clinical data will be described, (ii) the evidence from both observational studies and randomized controlled trials on the effects of guideline-directed medical therapy on cancer incidence and cancer-related outcomes, as synthetized by meta-analyses will be reviewed, and (iii) considerations for future pre-clinical and clinical investigations will be provided.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Great diversity of shape, size, and skin color is observed among the fruits of different apple genotypes. These traits are critical for consumers and therefore interesting targets for breeding new apple varieties. However, they are difficult to phenotype and their genetic basis, especially for fruit shape and ground color, is largely unknown. We used the FruitPhenoBox to digitally phenotype 525 genotypes of the apple reference population (apple REFPOP) genotyped for 303,148 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. From the apple images, 573 highly heritable features describing fruit shape and size as well as 17 highly heritable features for fruit skin color were extracted to explore genotype–phenotype relationships. Out of these features, seven principal components (PCs) and 16 features with the Pearson’s correlation r &lt; 0.75 (selected features) were chosen to carry out genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for fruit shape and size. Four PCs and eight selected features were used in GWAS for fruit skin color. In total, 69 SNPs scattered over all 17 apple chromosomes were significantly associated with round, conical, cylindrical, or symmetric fruit shapes and fruit size. Novel associations with major effect on round or conical fruit shapes and fruit size were identified on chromosomes 1 and 2. Additionally, 16 SNPs associated with PCs and selected features related to red overcolor as well as green and yellow ground color were found on eight chromosomes. The identified associations can be used to advance marker-assisted selection in apple fruit breeding to systematically select for desired fruit appearance.
