Predictive Use of Grammatical Gender During Noun Phrase Decoding: An Eye-Tracking Study With German Children With Developmental Language Disorder
Authors: Cholewa Jürgen , Kirschenkern Annika , Steinke Frederike , Günther Thomas 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
Predictive language comprehension has become a major topic in psycholinguistic research. The study described in this article aims to investigate if German children with developmental language disorder (DLD) use grammatical gender agreement to predict the continuation of noun phrases in the same way as it has been observed for typically developing (TD) children. The study also seeks to differentiate between specific and general deficits in predictive processing by exploring the anticipatory use of semantic information. Additionally, the research examines whether the processing of gender and semantic information varies with the speed of stimulus presentation.

Method:
The study included 30 children with DLD (average age = 8.7 years) and 26 TD children (average age = 8.4 years) who participated in a visual-world eye-tracking study. Noun phrases, consisting of an article, an adjective, and a noun, were presented that matched with only one of two target pictures. The phrases contained a gender cue, a semantic cue, a combination of both, or none of these cues. The cues were provided by the article and/or adjective and could be used to identify the target picture before the noun itself was presented.

Results:
Both groups, TD children and those with DLD, utilized predictive processing strategies in response to gender agreement and semantic information when decoding noun phrases. However, children with DLD were only able to consider gender cues when noun phrases were presented at a slower speech rate, and even then, their predictive certainty remained below the typical level for their age.

Conclusion:
Based on these findings, the article discusses the potential relevance of the prediction framework for explaining comprehension deficits in children with DLD, as well as the clinical implications of the results.

Published: February 2025

AbstractIn response to the issue of wireless spectrum scarcity and secure transmission caused by frequent requests for short videos from a large number of devices within the network, this article proposes a social relationship‐aware collaborative Device‐to‐Device (D2D) secure caching strategy. By thoroughly analyzing the physical and social characteristics of devices, a collaborative secure caching policy based on user social relationships is designed, aiming to enhance the willingness of end users to share, reduce network traffic loads, and decrease transmission latency. To maximize traffic offloading, users are divided into communities based on their physical‐social attributes, grouping users with strong physical‐social attributes in the same community to increase their sharing willingness. For users within the community, relay nodes are chosen for users according to the contribution of the cached content to the community, and personalized video content caching placement is further realized based on the video content popularity predicted by the collaborative filtering algorithm to meet user demands. Simulation results suggest that the proposed algorithm can improve traffic offloading and reduce transmission latency.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe use of the sub‐terahertz (THz) band is a promising candidate to cope with the ever‐increasing traffic in wireless access. Since the transmission range in the sub‐THz band is reduced due to its large propagation loss, received power needs to be enhanced using beamforming technologies. The authors focused on Bessel beams (BBs), which show high received power performance up to a certain distance, and evaluated their performance experimentally. The experiments were carried out at 140 GHz using small (15 cm diameter) dielectric and metasurface lenses. When using these small lenses, received power was increased by up to 15 and 11 dB, respectively, and the received power for distances up to 70 cm was greater than that of a conventional collimated beam.
Swin2‐MoSE: A new single image supersolution model for remote sensing

Published: February 2025

AbstractDue to the limitations of current optical and sensor technologies and the high cost of updating them, the spectral and spatial resolution of satellites may not always meet desired requirements. For these reasons, Remote‐Sensing Single‐Image Super‐Resolution (RS‐SISR) techniques have gained significant interest. In this paper, Swin2‐MoSE model is proposed, an enhanced version of Swin2SR. The model introduces MoE‐SM, an enhanced Mixture‐of‐Experts (MoE) to replace the Feed‐Forward inside all Transformer block. MoE‐SM is designed with Smart‐Merger, and new layer for merging the output of individual experts, and with a new way to split the work between experts, defining a new per‐example strategy instead of the commonly used per‐token one. Furthermore, it is analyzed how positional encodings interact with each other, demonstrating that per‐channel bias and per‐head bias can positively cooperate. Finally, the authors propose to use a combination of Normalized‐Cross‐Correlation (NCC) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) losses, to avoid typical MSE loss limitations. Experimental results demonstrate that Swin2‐MoSE outperforms any Swin derived models by up to 0.377–0.958 dB (PSNR) on task of , and resolution‐upscaling ( and OLI2MSI datasets). It also outperforms SOTA models by a good margin, proving to be competitive and with excellent potential, especially for complex tasks. Additionally, an analysis of computational costs is also performed. Finally, the efficacy of Swin2‐MoSE is shown, applying it to a semantic segmentation task (SeasoNet dataset).

Distributionally robust optimization of voltage fluctuations and imbalance in islanded bipolar DC microgrids
Authors: Majd Zahra , Kalantar Mohsen , Aghaei Jamshid 
Published: February 2025

AbstractDC microgrids (DCMGs) are gaining popularity due to the rise of DC devices, increased use of solar power, and the absence of frequency and reactive power concerns. Key challenges in DCMGs include voltage fluctuations due to unpredictable changes in renewable energy resources (RERs), power flow management, and power distribution among distributed generations (DGs). To ensure the stability and reliability of DCMGs, it is crucial to maintain proper DC bus voltage levels and effectively manage power flow between different components. This paper presents a new scheduling framework for bipolar DCMGs (BPDCMGs) that simultaneously considers voltage variations and imbalances. A novel objective function focused on voltage variations is developed based on advanced load flow equations for BPDCMGs. Also, distributionally robust optimization (DRO) is utilized for RERs and load consumption uncertainties based on the Kullback–Leibler divergence metric. Following the reformulation of the multiobjective DRO problem, an optimal compromise solution is found using min–max fuzzy criteria. The proposed model has been tested on the IEEE 33 bus system, simulating an islanded BPDCMG. Detailed analysis demonstrates the model's effectiveness in managing voltage fluctuations and imbalances, with numerical results indicating over a 90% reduction in voltage fluctuations and over 40% decrease in unbalancing.

Abstract
Background Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) in New York City, in collaboration with the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Dental School, is addressing a critical gap in HIV testing to support the strategy to End the HIV Epidemic (EHE). This strategy emphasizes increasing testing rates and providing patients with information about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
Objectives This study aimed to achieve two key objectives: (1) develop a robust clinical decision support system (CDSS) capable of identifying patients who stand to benefit from HIV testing and (2) implement a seamlessly integrated, user-friendly workflow, enabling health care providers to effortlessly order and conduct HIV point-of-care (POC) screening.
Methods A targeted CDSS was developed by identifying a patient population, determining qualifying laboratory tests, interpreting HIV and sexually transmitted infections results, and programming based on conditional statements. A workflow was implemented after careful consideration and collaboration with faculty and residents. POC testing was conducted using the OraQuick Rapid Antibody Test Advanced HIV-1/2.
Results The implementation of this targeted CDSS and associated new protocols demonstrated a promising 11.5% testing rate, normalizing HIV POC testing within the dental ambulatory care setting, and representing a key pillar of EHE.
Conclusion CUIMC's approach presents a promising strategy for bridging gaps in HIV testing disparities and enhancing public health outcomes. By leveraging CDSS and innovative health care delivery methods, CUIMC's desire is to expand the scope and effectiveness of HIV testing to other practices and sites.
Exit Strategy for Treatment of Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration in a Real-World Setting: Wishful Thinking?

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Introduction To analyze our outcome for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with aflibercept in a treat-and-extend regimen pursuing an exit strategy (with best possible adherence to the “Bern” exit criteria) over 6 years in a real-world setting. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the proportion of patients who were able to achieve and maintain treatment exit.
Methods This is a retrospective chart review study of treatment-naïve patients diagnosed with nAMD receiving intravitreal aflibercept injections performed at our department with at least 2 years of follow-up visits. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients able to achieve and maintain the treatment exit regarding intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Further outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), incidence of recurrence after treatment cessation, duration of therapy, and number and intervals of injections.
Results There were 31 eyes of 25 patients included in this retrospective study. The observation period was from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2023. Of all included patient eyes, 22.6% (n = 7) reached exit criteria. Of all the “exit” patients, 28.6% (n = 2) suffered from disease relapse and therapy was restarted at a mean (± SD) of 41.5 ± 12.5 weeks (range: 29 to 54 weeks). Regarding the eyes that met treatment exit, 5 of 31 (16.1%) had no disease recurrence in the observed study period. The median BCVA (Snellen decimal; ± interquartile range: IQR) changed from 0.63 (0.27) at baseline to 0.63 (0.4) in the first year, 0.63 (0.3) in the second year, 0.63 (0.46) in the third year, 0.63 (0.3) in the fourth year, 0.63 (0.4) in the fifth year, and 0.4 (0.04) in the sixth year. The median number of injections (± IQR) per eye in the first year of treatment was 8 (2), in the second year 5 (2), in the third year 5 (2.5), in the fourth year 5 (1), in the fifth year 3 (0.8), and
in the sixth year 3 (0). Extension of the treatment interval after the loading phase in weeks was achieved up to a median (± IQR) of 5.8 (4) in the first year, 8.4 (6) in the second year, 8 (5.7) in the third year, 9.4 (5.6) in the fourth year, 7 (6.9) in the fifth year, and 8.4 (3.1) in the sixth year of observation.
Discussion Our study indicates a lower rate of patients reaching exit criteria with a treat-and-extend regimen compared to clinical study settings, and a similar recurrence rate of nAMD after treatment cessation. Nonadherence to a strict treat-and-extend protocol might influence the result.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Objective Dentomaxillary abnormalities manifest clinically as malocclusion. Any deviation from normal occlusion is malocclusion. It presents as a malrelationship between the dental arches in one or more planes or deviation in normal individual tooth positions. The present study was done to assess the association between severity of malocclusion and case complexity using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and American Board of Orthodontics Discrepancy Index (ABO-DI).
Material and Methodology The study was conducted on pretreatment orthodontic records of 120 patients who attended the outpatient department of the orthodontics department to assess the association between severity of malocclusion and case complexity using the DAI and the ABO-DI. Pretreatment orthodontic records used for the study were study casts, lateral cephalogram in occlusion, and orthopantomogram. ABO gauge was used for measuring various parameters on study casts.
Result In all, 3.3% patients had minor or no anomaly (DAI score of ≤25), 4.2% patients had definite malocclusion (DAI score of 26–30), 10% patients had severe malocclusion (DAI score of 31–35), 82.5% patients had handicapping malocclusion (DAI score of ≥36). In total, 6.7% patients had mild malocclusion (ABO-DI score of ≤10), 30% patients had moderate malocclusion (ABO-DI score of 11–20), and 63.3% patients had complex malocclusion (ABO-DI score of ≥30).
Conclusion There was a moderate positive correlation between DAI and ABO-DI scores (p = 0.000).
Creole Languages and American Englishes: Multilingualism and Pediatric Speech-Language Pathology
Authors: Washington Karla N. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractMultilingualism is the norm, not the exception, with most children speaking more than one language daily. These factors have motivated an increased need to better understand language use in the growing population of children whose cultural and linguistic background evidence language variation by way of Creole languages and dialects of American Englishes. Within speech-language pathology in the United States, however, a cultural and linguistic mismatch exists with only 8% of speech-language pathologists self-identifying as multilingual service providers. A variety of publications have documented speech-language development and disorders in speakers of majority language pairings (such as Spanish-English) to address this mismatch and the potential for misdiagnosis of speech-language function. However, there is a shortage of information on speakers of minority language pairings (such as a Creole language and its lexifier) for supporting culturally responsive practices in speech-language pathology. This clinical seminar considers multilingualism for speech-language pathology with the goal of offering a historical context. In so doing, this clinical seminar aims to address the need for distinguishing between dialect and disorder, and offer practical considerations that reduce the risk of misdiagnosis in children who speak minority languages such as Creoles (e.g., Gullah/Geechee, Jamaican Creole) and dialects of American Englishes (e.g., African American English), as examples in the context of the United States.
Posterior Palatine Line: A Marker for Cleft Secondary Hard Palate
Authors: Shah Deval Harsukh , Shah Nilpa , Trivedi Mayur 
Published: February 2025

AbstractA cleft of the secondary palate (SP) can be isolated or associated with a cleft lip (CL). Although CL is relatively easy to detect by both 2D and 3D ultrasound, the detection of SP defects is still challenging. The posterior edge of the palatine bone forms the posterior border of the secondary hard palate (SHP). We evaluated the integrity of this posterior palatine bone by 2D ultrasound in an axial view. This posterior horizontal echogenic line of the hard palate (HP) is named the posterior palatine line. A defect in the middle of this line is considered a cleft of the SHP. We evaluated 1,450 midtrimester fetuses between December 2023 and June 2024 for the integrity of the posterior palatine line. Of these 1,450 fetuses, we found 12 fetuses with CL, CL and primary palate, CL with cleft SHP, and isolated cleft SHP. We detected a cleft in the posterior palatine line in 9 of 12 fetuses. The integrity of the palate was evaluated in 1,123 normal and 9 abnormal cases postnatally. This 2D view is easy to obtain and very useful for the detection of a cleft of the SHP. Visualization of the posterior palatine line in the routine midtrimester anomaly scan might enhance the detection rate of isolated cleft of the SHP.
Environmental Exposures and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Review
Authors: Peebles Elizabeth , Mahalingaiah Shruthi 
Published: February 2025

AbstractPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common heterogeneous endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, affecting around 5 to 10% of women and up to 21% depending on the applied diagnostic criteria and study population. People with PCOS may experience oligomenorrhea, androgen excess, and polycystic ovary morphology. The etiology of the disease is not completely understood, with genetics, epigenetics, endocrine, metabolic, lifestyle, and environmental factors contributing to its development and severity. Environmental exposures are an important, burgeoning field in menstrual research, as they potentially link to menstrual cycle disruption and the risk of reproductive disorders such as PCOS. This review examines the recent research investigating environmental exposures—air pollution, micro- and nanoplastics, heavy metals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals—and PCOS in human and animal models, concluding with potential mechanisms, limitations, and considerations for future work. Overall, research on environmental exposures and PCOS is limited and yields heterogeneous results across studies. Specifically, exposures such as air pollutants, micro- and nanoplastics, persistent organic pollutants, and parabens have noticeably limited research. Future research can help fill the gap in understanding how environmental exposures, particularly across gestational, childhood, and reproductive adult life stages, may impact PCOS.
Flexor Tendon Tenosynovitis in a Child Following Missed Thorn Prick Injury: A Case Report
Authors: Ghanghurde Bipin A. , Habbu Rohan , Avasthi Bhupendra S. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractPlant thorn synovitis is a frequently missed and neglected injury. We report a delayed case of suspected thorn injury to the left middle finger in a 5-year-old child, which was treated with thorn removal and complete flexor synovectomy to achieve good results. Proper history, clinical examination, and correlated radiological findings can help in the diagnosis. Patients may seek late treatment due to persistent swelling and pain. Antibiotic may be given; however, in a delayed case, its role is debatable. Thorn removal and complete tenosynovectomy offers complete recovery.
1.1 Sulfonyl Fluorides and Acyl Fluorides
Authors: Lai J. , Thomson B. J. , Sammis G. M. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractSulfonyl fluorides have numerous applications in both synthetic organic chemistry as fluorinating agents and as precursors to sulfur(VI) moieties, and in chemical biology as covalent inhibitors and chemical probes. The utility of sulfonyl fluorides arises from the properties of the S—F bond, as the high bond strength and polarization imparts stability and chemoselectivity that differentiates this group from other sulfur(VI) halides. Likewise, acyl fluorides have found widespread use in organic synthesis as reactive intermediates. The increased stability toward hydrolysis and aminolysis in comparison to acyl chlorides and bromides are a result of the relative strength and electrostatic stability of the C—F bond. In this review, we provide an overview of synthetic approaches to these valuable motifs, with a focus on versatile and easy-to-handle protocols.

Published: February 2025

The InGaAs well-cluster composite (WCC) structure is a special kind of quantum confinement structure formed by indium atom self-fit migration, which has excellent spectral properties. In this paper, an experimental technique for measuring the temperature-dependent emission scaling factor (ESF) is proposed to reveal the luminescence mechanism of the InGaAs WCC structure in more detail. The ESF is derived by collecting the photoluminescence (PL) spectra from the pump regions with different lengths. The ESF has an almost uniform distribution at different temperatures, of which the fluctuation range is ∼7.16 × 1010–3.36 × 1011 W−1 eV−1 s−1. In addition, the ESF with multi-peak characteristics is shown and analyzed according to indium-rich cluster and carrier-injected band-filling rules. It is generated by the multi-component active regions and the special asymmetric band structure caused by indium atom migration. Not only is a new experimental method for measuring ESF proposed in this paper, but also the band-filling rules of InGaAs WCC structures at different temperatures are revealed. This work is significant to promote and develop the new generation of semiconductor lasers with a WCC structure.
Short-term sustainable collection of eggs and nestlings of the endangered Carnaby’s cockatoo (Zanda latirostris)
Authors: Meagher Karen , Bencini Roberta , Mawson Peter R. 
Published: February 2025

Context Extinction rates for Australian species are a major concern that requires new approaches to conserving species. Sustainable collecting, which is taking individuals of a species from the wild without affecting overall population numbers, has emerged as one method of placing a value on endangered species, that can help protect them from extinction. Aims We evaluated a case study to sustainably collect an endangered cockatoo species, Carnaby’s cockatoo (Zanda latirostris). Methods A 3-year program was conducted where Carnaby’s cockatoo eggs or nestlings were collected from the wild, hand reared and a sub-set sold on the domestic aviculture market to drive down prices and reduce incentives for poaching. Key results Fledging success of the source population was not significantly different from unharvested populations (χ2 = 3.02, d.f. = 2, P = 0.221). The unit market price of Carnaby’s cockatoos decreased from AUD4500 in 1996 to AUD2800 in 2018 (AUD1658 in 1996 dollar terms adjusted for inflation) following the program (P < 0.001). There were other possible explanations for the fall in market price, which occurred concomitant with this study, and limited data available on poaching showed no difference in the number of poaching cases before and after the program. Conclusions We demonstrated that Carnaby’s cockatoos can be sustainably harvested from the wild in the short-term, but only with the benefit of sound knowledge of the species’ ecology. Implications This program is the first study to show that an endangered cockatoo species can be successfully collected from the wild.
