Abstract
Introduction Despite the evidence against drain placement after thyroidectomy, there is a lack of consensus on drain use in patients with substernal goiter.
Objective To assess the factors that increase the likelihood of drain placement and its impact on postoperative hematoma and other 30-day complications among adult patients undergoing thyroidectomy for substernal goiter.
Methods A retrospective cohort study that used data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). Adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) who underwent elective thyroidectomy for substernal goiter from 2016 to 2020 were included. Cases with closed suction neck drains placed upon completion of surgery were included in the drain group, and the remaining cases formed the nondrain group.
Results A total of 1,229 patients were included (46.5% with drain placement). The factors that increased the likelihood of drain placement included body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, score between 3 and 5 on the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification, sternal split/transthoracic surgical approach, operative time ≥ 90 minutes, and surgery conducted by otolaryngologists. Patients with clean-contaminated or contaminated wound classifications were less likely to be submitted to drain placement. In addition, drain use had no impact on postoperative hematoma formation but was found to independently increase the risk of prolonged length of hospital stay.
Conclusion Thyroidectomy without drain placement might be safe for substernal goiter. However, this decision should be individualized for each patient.Level Of Evidence: 3

Abstract
Introduction Long coronavirus disease (COVID) refers to the persistence of symptoms long after the recovery from the acute phase of the illness, and it is due to the interplay of various inflammatory mechanisms. This has led to emergence of new deficits, including otorhinolaryngological symptoms, in patients wo have recovered from COVID. The plethora of otorhinolaryngological symptoms associated with long COVID are tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), vertigo, nasal congestion, sinonasal discomfort, hyposmia/anosmia, dysgeusia, sore throat, dry cough, dyspnea, dysphagia, and hoarseness of voice.
Objective To evaluate the possible ENT symptoms in patients wo have recovered from COVID and to combine those findings with our experience.
Data Synthesis We conducted a search on the PubMed, ENT Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases, and a total of 44 studies were selected for the present review.
Conclusion Otorhinolaryngological complications such as tinnitus, SNHL, vertigo, nasal congestion, sinonasal discomfort, hyposmia/anosmia, dysgeusia, sore throat, dry cough, dyspnea, dysphagia, and hoarseness of voice have been widely reported among in long-COVID patients.
Lobbying venue selection under separation of powers and resource constraints
Authors: Gause LaGina , Lorenz Geoffrey M. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractPrior work examines how organization resources and types shape venue selection strategies. Both Congress and executive branch agencies can change policy, so interest groups must consider which of these venues to lobby on a given issue. We argue that factors in the political environment—venues’ issue priorities and the power of groups’ allies in a venue—influence how groups with different resource constraints select lobbying venues. Examining over one million issue-level lobbying disclosures filed between 2008 and 2016, we find that low-resource groups strategically lobby the venue(s) controlled by partisan allies and respond to the government’s and public’s issue priorities. Meanwhile, high-resource groups more often lobby all venues relevant to their issues regardless of the political environment, especially on issues gaining significant attention within government but not in the public. Our findings suggest that separation of powers provides high-resource groups more venues to lobby for favored policies. Conversely, low-resource groups strategically only lobby venues they have the potential to influence.
Evolving linguistic divergence on polarizing social media
Authors: Karjus Andres , Cuskley Christine 
Published: March 2024

AbstractLanguage change is influenced by many factors, but often starts from synchronic variation, where multiple linguistic patterns or forms coexist, or where different speech communities use language in increasingly different ways. Besides regional or economic reasons, communities may form and segregate based on political alignment. The latter, referred to as political polarization, is of growing societal concern across the world. Here we map and quantify linguistic divergence across the partisan left-right divide in the United States, using social media data. We develop a general methodology to delineate (social) media users by their political preference, based on which (potentially biased) news media accounts they do and do not follow on a given platform. Our data consists of 1.5M short posts by 10k users (about 20M words) from the social media platform Twitter (now “X”). Delineating this sample involved mining the platform for the lists of followers (n = 422M) of 72 large news media accounts. We quantify divergence in topics of conversation and word frequencies, messaging sentiment, and lexical semantics of words and emoji. We find signs of linguistic divergence across all these aspects, especially in topics and themes of conversation, in line with previous research. While US American English remains largely intelligible within its large speech community, our findings point at areas where miscommunication may eventually arise given ongoing polarization and therefore potential linguistic divergence. Our flexible methodology — combining data mining, lexicostatistics, machine learning, large language models and a systematic human annotation approach — is largely language and platform agnostic. In other words, while we focus here on US political divides and US English, the same approach is applicable to other countries, languages, and social media platforms.
Effect of emitter tip spacing on Si vacuum field emitter arrays
Authors: Ghotbi S. , Mohammadi S. 
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a qualitative and quantitative analysis of close-packed vacuum field emitter arrays. Through a combination of computational simulations and experimental verifications, the relationship between emitter spacing and electric field screening is studied. In order to obtain a uniform electron emission and large current densities from a field emitter array, it is essential to minimize the screening effect between the adjacent field emitters. As previously demonstrated, sharpening the emitter tips, reducing the background doping concentration of the emitters, and reducing the anode–cathode distance can suppress the screening effect. Field emitter arrays with different sizes and emitter spacings are fabricated and characterized. Decreasing the array size and increasing emitter spacing lead to a larger average current per emitter (19 nA/tip at an anode voltage of 250 V). However, larger current densities (up to 3.3 A/cm2) are observed in close-packed arrays. In very large arrays with a small emitter spacing, the current is scaled with the emitter area (∼4.2 nA/emitter at an anode voltage of 250 V), indicating a small current contribution from the sides of the array.

Published: March 2024

We report laser-assisted photochemical graphitization of polyimides (PIs) into functional magnetic nanocomposites using laser irradiation of PI in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). PI Kapton sheets covered with MNP were photochemically treated under ambient conditions using a picosecond pulsed laser (1064 nm) to obtain an electrically conductive material. Scanning electron microscopy of the treated material revealed a layered magnetic nanoparticle/graphite (MNP/graphite) nanocomposite structure. Four probe conductivity measurements indicated that the nanocomposite has an electrical conductivity of 1550 ± 60 S/m. Superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer-based magnetic characterization of the treated material revealed an anisotropic ferromagnetic response in the MNP/graphite nanocomposite compared to the isotropic response of MNP. Raman spectroscopy of the MNP/graphite nanocomposite revealed a fourfold improvement in graphitization, suppression in disorder, and decreased nitrogenous impurities compared to the graphitic material obtained from laser treatment of just PI sheets. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy were used to delineate the phase transformations of MNP during the formation of MNP/graphite nanocomposite. Post-mortem characterization indicates a possible photocatalytic effect of MNP during MNP/graphite nanocomposite formation. Under laser irradiation, MNP transformed from the initial Fe3O4 phase to γ-Fe2O3 and Fe5C2 phases and acted as nucleation spots to catalyze the graphitization process of PI.
Protracted development in the heritage lexicon

Published: March 2024

AbstractResearch on heritage language acquisition at the school age has shown protracted development and early stabilisation in morphosyntax and the lexicon. Our study examined the properties of resultative verb compound (RVC), a structure at the crossroads of the lexicon and morphosyntax, in second-generation child heritage speakers in the UK who had continuous input in Mandarin Chinese since birth. We analysed three subclasses of RVCs produced by the heritage children (n = 27, age 4–14) and their parents (n = 18) in an oral narration task and compared them with those by children in Beijing (n = 48, age 4–9) from existing databases. Our results show that the heritage children produced RVCs quite frequently and felicitously yet highly repetitively and conservatively, with a remarkably large proportion of their RVCs consisting of a strongly lexicalised subclass with direct lexical equivalents in English. Correlational analyses show that the heritage children’s RVCs improve with age, rather than provision of RVC in the parental input, indicating the role of cumulative input in RVC acquisition. Overall, the development of RVC in heritage Mandarin is delayed rather than stabilised or attrited, supporting the lexical account for grammatical vulnerabilities in proficient heritage speakers.
Intuitive control of additional prosthetic joints via electro-neuromuscular constructs improves functional and disability outcomes during home use—a case study
Authors: Zbinden Jan , Earley Eric J , Ortiz-Catalan Max 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objective. The advent of surgical reconstruction techniques has enabled the recreation of myoelectric controls sites that were previously lost due to amputation. This advancement is particularly beneficial for individuals with higher-level arm amputations, who were previously constrained to using a single degree of freedom (DoF) myoelectric prostheses due to the limited number of available muscles from which control signals could be extracted. In this study, we explore the use of surgically created electro-neuromuscular constructs to intuitively control multiple bionic joints during daily life with a participant who was implanted with a neuromusculoskeletal prosthetic interface. Approach. We sequentially increased the number of controlled joints, starting at a single DoF allowing to open and close the hand, subsequently adding control of the wrist (2 DoF) and elbow (3 DoF). Main results. We found that the surgically created electro-neuromuscular constructs allow for intuitive simultaneous and proportional control of up to three degrees of freedom using direct control. Extended home-use and the additional bionic joints resulted in improved prosthesis functionality and disability outcomes. Significance. Our findings indicate that electro-neuromuscular constructs can aid in restoring lost functionality and thereby support a person who lost their arm in daily-life tasks.
Numerical Simulation Analysis of Typhoon Moving Track on Sea Surface Cooling
Authors: Li Jiagen , Wang Hanshi , Wang Huizan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractTyphoons are mainly generated in the tropical ocean where the temperature is higher than 26°C. When typhoons move on the ocean, they will cause obvious sea surface cooling (SSC) along their track. The translation speed and moving direction of typhoons are two important components of the typhoons track, and they are also important factors affecting SSC. SSC reduces the heat flux from ocean to typhoons, and thus weakens the intensity of typhoons. Because the air-sea heat exchange mainly occurs in the inner-core region of typhoons, the SSC in the inner-core plays a crucial role in weakening the intensity of typhoons. Based on the numerical experiments, this study analysed the distribution of SSC caused by typhoons under different moving tracks. The results show that under the same ocean environment, typhoon intensity and translation speed, the inner-core SSC caused by sharp-right-turning typhoons is significantly stronger than that caused by the straight-moving typhoons (about 1.34 times) and sharp-left-turning typhoons (about 1.45 times). Without considering the air-sea heat flux, the contribution of vertical mixing to inner-core SSC is about 93.1% and that of advection is about 6.9% when typhoon is moving straight, and the contribution of advection is increasing with the increase of typhoon right turning angle.

Authors: Jiang Bing , Cao Liwei , Qin Shufang , Wang Yi 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Using the buoy dataset from 2011 to 2022, the trend of wave climate change was analyzed at DaChen station located in the Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. The results show a decreasing trend of the maximum significant wave height (Hs). Whereas the wave height is higher than 4 m, the corresponding wave period is in the range of 8-14s. Disastrous waves mainly occur between July and October. The relevant analysis presents the wave characteristics at the DaChen station, which is helpful for protecting the life safety along the coast and providing references for offshore engineering design.
A variational optimization algorithm for Secchi disk depth based on Multi-satellite data

Published: March 2024

Abstract
A Secchi depth is a basic parameter to describe the optical properties of water, which is related to the composition and content of chlorophyll, suspended solids and yellow substances in water, and is also closely related to solar radiation on the surface of water, physical and chemical properties of water and meteorological conditions. The most direct way to obtain the spatiotemporal distribution of water Secchi depth is to use ships to regularly measure the Secchi depth of the base-stations, but this method can only obtain the Secchi depth of the measurement station state, and it is impossible to obtain the Secchi depth characteristics of seawater with large spatiotemporal distribution. As a brand-new observation method, remote sensing technology can obtain the distribution characteristics of ocean parameters in large time and space. In recent years, with the rapid development of remote sensing technology, especially the development of water-colored remote sensors and the improvement of the accuracy of inversion algorithms, many remote sensing products for water Secchi depth have been provided. However, due to the difference in orbit operation and observation parameters of different remote sensing loads, water Secchi depth products are affected by clouds and meteorological climate environment, and there is no same standard for verification and evaluation, which limit the promotion and application of water Secchi depth products. At the same time, data integrated technology has been widely recognized by many disciplines and has been greatly developed in recent years, and pixel-level, feature-level, decision-level integrated technology and development are also popular research directions in the world. Therefore, based on an improved variational optimization algorithm, this article integrates SDD retrieval products on multiple satellite data t such as SNPP, MODIS, and MERIS, and verifies them with ship survey data. The correlation is better than 0.9, proving that this method can improve the accuracy of SDD inversion products.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Sea surface salinity (SSS) is one of the most important variables in ocean dynamics and atmospheric climate. The launch of three salinity satellites, Aquarius, SMAP and SMOS, has greatly expanded the global sea surface salinity data field. The latest ocean surface salinity (CCI+SSS) fusion project fully utilizes the satellite data from SMOS, supplemented by SMAP and Aquarius satellite data, to merge into the CCI fusion product. In this paper, the data accuracy of the four SSS products, Aquarius, SMAP, SMOS and CCI, is evaluated in terms of both average deviation and root mean square error (RMSE) by comparing with the in situ SSS monthly gridded EN4.2.2 dataset in the Pacific Ocean. The results show that compared with the in situ EN4.2.2 data, the average deviation and root mean square error of the four SSS products are relatively small in the Pacific subtropical region, while the errors are generally higher in the cold water and offshore regions. Overall, the CCI product has the smallest average deviation and RMSE in the Pacific Ocean, which is the best performance among the four products.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The seasonal variability of the intraseasonal SST perturbations is analysed based on the high spatial-temporal resolution and long-time series (1982-2021) OISST data. There are two bands of high intraseasonal variability (ISV, 20-90 days), one band is along the equatorial eastern Indian and western Pacific Oceans, the other is along the axis of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). For large-scale perturbations, during boreal winter, the ISV of SST is large south of the equator, especially south of 30°S. During boreal summer, the situation is opposite and the ISV is more concentrated north of 30°N. During boreal spring, the ISV is increasing north of equator. During boreal autumn, the ISV is increasing south of equator while decreasing north of equator. For small-scale perturbations, the ISV of SST is large all the time over the Southern Ocean and western boundary currents. In the tropical ocean, the small-scale ISV in the eastern Pacific Ocean is apparent in summer and autumn. Compared to large-scale ISV, the distribution areas of the small-scale ISV are apparently narrower.

Authors: Chen Wei , Shi Jian , Chen Jie , Zhang Wenjing , Zhang Shaoze 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this paper, the simulation performance of two source terms, ST4 and ST6, of the wave model WAVEWATCH III on significant wave heights is investigated in the North Pacific Ocean, and the root mean square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (R) and mean absolute error (E
MAE) were compared between them, and all indices showed that the waves was better modelled by using ST4 in the North Pacific region. Based on the ST4 source term scheme, the Stokes drift is calculated from the wave elements simulated by WAVEWATCH III, and is added to the momentum equation of the SBPOM circulation model with the Stokes drift calculated by spectral integration, and it is found that the sea surface temperature (SST) simulated by the former scheme is better than that by the latter scheme by comparing with that of the Argo buoys, in which the RMSE is reduced by 0.018°C, E
MAE is reduced by 0.025°C, and R is improved by 0.007. Finally, by comparing the simulated Langmuir numbers of the two schemes, it is found that in most of the sea area (especially in the deep sea), the simulated Langmuir number of the former scheme is smaller than that of the latter scheme by about 0.1, which indicates the former scheme can be used to enhance seawater mixing, thus improving the accuracy of the coupled WAVEWATCH III-SBPOM model.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In recent years, the evaluation of the impact of meteorological marine environment on the combat effectiveness of surface ships has been an important content and hot topic in military oceanography research and naval battlefield support. In this paper, the analytic hierarchy process is adopted to establish the hierarchical structure of the evaluation model, determine the weights of each index, and quantitatively evaluate the proportion of the influence of wind, sea wave, rain, visibility, atmospheric waveguide, and other factors on the combat effectiveness of surface ships. Combined with marine hydrometeorological data examples, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to evaluate the index system, which can provide scientific and reasonable decision-making reference for ship commanders.
