Abstract

Objective. Low-coupling seamless integration of multiple systems is the core foundation of smart radiotherapy. Following Service-Oriented Architecture style, a set of named operations (Eclipse Web Service API, EWSAPI) was developed for realizing network call of Eclipse. Approach. Under the guidance of Vertical Slice Architecture, EWSAPI was implemented in the C# language and based on ASP .Net Core 6.0. Each operation consists of three components: Request, Endpoint and Response. Depending on the function, the exchanged data for each operation, as input or output parameters, is the empty or a predefined JSON data. These operations were realized and enriched gradually, layer by layer, with reference to the clinical business classification. The business logic of each operation was developed and maintained independently. In situations where Eclipse Scripting API(ESAPI) was required, constraints of ESAPI were followed. Main results. Selected features of Eclipse TPS were encapsulated as standard web services, which can be invocated by other software through network. Several processes for data quality control and planning were encapsulated into interfaces, thereby extending the functionality of Eclipse. Currently, EWSAPI already covers testing of service interface, quality control of radiotherapy data, automation tasks for plan designing and DICOM RT files’ transmission. All the interfaces support asynchronous invocation. A separate Eclipse context will be created for each invocation, and is released in the end. Significance. EWSAPI which is a set of standard web services for calling Eclipse features through network is flexible and extensible. It is an efficient way to integration of Eclipse and other systems and will be gradually enriched with the deepening of clinical applications.

Abstract
Quantum randomness relies heavily on the accurate characterization of the generator implementation, where the device imperfection or inaccurate characterization can lead to incorrect entropy estimation and practical bias, significantly affecting the reliability of the generated randomness. Measurement-device-independent (MDI) quantum random number generation (QRNG) endeavors to produce certified randomness, utilizing uncharacterized and untrusted measurement devices that are vulnerable to numerous attack schemes targeting measurement loopholes. However, existing implementations have shown insufficient performance thus far. Here, we propose a high-speed MDI-QRNG scheme based on a robust measurement tomography approach against the imperfection of single-photon sources. Compared with the conventional approach, the decoy-state method is introduced to obtain more accurate tomography results and a tighter lower bound of randomness. Finally, by using a high-speed time-bin encoding system, we experimentally demonstrated the scheme and obtained a reliable min-entropy lower bound of

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Secure multi-party computational geometry is a branch of secure multi-party computation, which is applied in many important fields. But up to now, the research on how to solve this problem with quantum methods has just started. Therefore, we study the design of quantum secure multi-party computational geometry (QSMCG) protocols in this paper. As the foundation, we extend the two-party summation and multiplication protocols proposed by Sutradhar and Om to multi-party protocols. Then we propose three new QSMCG protocols. Our proposed quantum secure two-party distance computation protocol has improvement in efficiency and accuracy. And the proposed quantum secure multi-party polytope volume computation protocol as well as the quantum secure circle–circle intersection area computation protocol are designed for the first time. Moreover, these protocols are designed to use multi-third parties, which solves the problem of intermediate value leakage in computation. The correctness, security and performance of all these protocols are analyzed.
Comparative analysis of indices in capturing the onset and withdrawal of the South Asian Summer Monsoon
Authors: Li Xiuping , Wang Lei , Zhong Shiyuan , Liu Liu 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) exerts a profound influence on South Asia and the southern Tibetan Plateau. The timing of its onset and withdrawal significantly impacts regional rainfall, a critical water source for agriculture and the economy. Various SASM indices, employing different variables, have been employed to gauge monsoon onset and withdrawal, each demonstrating distinct characteristics. This study provides a comprehensive comparison of prominent SASM indices related to onset and withdrawal, revealing similar timing but varying magnitudes. Across nearly all indices, a consistent pattern emerges, indicating a trend towards earlier onset and delayed retreat during 1979–2018, marked by pronounced interdecadal variability, with a notable turning point around 1997. The earlier onset and later retreat are likely to enhance rainfall and potential water resources for South Asia and the Tibetan Plateau. Delving into the mechanisms revealed a delayed connection between the SASM onset to the large-scale sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies characterized by the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) in the preceding spring, but a simultaneous connection between SASM withdrawl and ONI in autumn. Current index definitions, relying on single or dual variables, may fall short in accurately depicting monsoon onset and withdrawal. To address this, we introduce a novel monsoon index derived from multiple large-scale circulation variables, offering improved trend capture and enhanced representation of interannual variability in SASM onset and withdrawal. This study advances our understanding of SASM indices and their correlation with monsoon rainfall, providing insights into the dynamics of SASM onset and withdrawal.

Abstract
In this research communication, we report the results of a field survey conducted in a part of the plume of the Amazon River between 0° and 5°N and offshore of the 28 m isobaths in November of 2022, during the low river discharge season. By comparing the observed vertical salinity profiles ‘disturbed’ by continental discharges within the plume with the virtually ‘undisturbed’ ones outside the plume, we estimated the total content of fresh water in the area covered by the measurements as 203 ± 22 km3, which equals to less than 3% of the average annual Amazon River discharge. Furthermore, we argue that the river-borne continental water was not confined to the upper mixed layer and show that about 37%, or 76 km3, of its volume was entrained into the plume-underlying layer between the mixed layer and the salinity maximum. This point is additionally supported by analysis of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) fluorescence in water samples, demonstrating significant concentrations of terrigenous CDOM to depths up to 140 m. We also observed that there was a significant direct correlation between the volume of freshwater accumulated in the affected layer and background stratification (expressed as buoyancy frequency) in the unaffected layer below it.

Abstract
Battery technologies based in multivalent charge carriers with ideally two or three electrons transferred per ion exchanged between the electrodes have large promises in raw performance numbers, most often expressed as high energy density, and are also ideally based on raw materials that are widely abundant and less expensive. Yet, these are still globally in their infancy, with some concepts (e.g. Mg metal) being more technologically mature. The challenges to address are derived on one side from the highly polarizing nature of multivalent ions when compared to single valent concepts such as Li+ or Na+ present in Li-ion or Na-ion batteries, and on the other, from the difficulties in achieving efficient metal plating/stripping (which remains the holy grail for lithium). Nonetheless, research performed to date has given some fruits and a clearer view of the challenges ahead. These include technological topics (production of thin and ductile metal foil anodes) but also chemical aspects (electrolytes with high conductivity enabling efficient plating/stripping) or high-capacity cathodes with suitable kinetics (better inorganic hosts for intercalation of such highly polarizable multivalent ions). This roadmap provides an extensive review by experts in the different technologies, which exhibit similarities but also striking differences, of the current state of the art in 2023 and the research directions and strategies currently underway to develop multivalent batteries. The aim is to provide an opinion with respect to the current challenges, potential bottlenecks, and also emerging opportunities for their practical deployment.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The new energy vehicle industry has an increasing demand for safety, stability, and efficiency in the operation of essential equipment, particularly in the intelligent means of fault diagnosis of motor equipment, which is rising annually. For the past several years, there has been an increasing demand for accuracy and precision in troubleshooting fault diagnosis of permanent magnet synchronous motors. This paper presents a variable-scale Inception (VS-Inception) permanent magnet motor malfunction diagnostic method on the basis of R parameters. Firstly, the Time Series Generative Adversarial Network is utilized to expand the dataset samples of the collected vibration signals, resulting in many virtual signals with motor fault characteristics. Then, the variable parameter variable scale structure of the VS-Inception model is employed to carry out the fault diagnosis of permanent magnet synchronous motors on the expanded dataset. Finally, comparison experiments of VS-Inception with the existing state-of-the-art methods and with the original method are conducted to confirm the superiority even further and stability of the VS-Inception method in the field of permanent magnet synchronous motor malfunction diagnostic.
Finite element analysis and optimization design of large vibrating screen based on equivalent static load method

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Vibrating screens have wide applications in various industries, ranging from agriculture to coal mining. In recent years, improvement in production have put forward higher requirements on the efficiency of vibrating screens. However, these large screens are prone to fatigue damage, particularly crack formation, over time. The emergence of substantial dynamic inertial forces can be attributed to the considerable body mass of a large vibrating screen. This study analyzed the structural strength of the HZXZ200x300 large vibrating screen, employing finite element simulation to identify the maximum equivalent stress and primary stress distribution. The main frame model of the vibrating screen box was constructed by integrating the equivalent static load and submodule methods. The model transitioned from dynamic response to static optimization under equivalent static and dynamic loads, significantly reducing calculation scale and enhancing optimization efficiency. Equivalent static sub-models were employed for topology optimization, determining the optimal structure for material performance distribution. This process yielded an optimal conceptual model for reconstructing the actual model. The structural strength was further improved by comparing three-dimensional and dynamic local stress relationships post-topological optimization, followed by reinforcing the vibrating screen structure and introducing reinforced bars for increased stability. The study showed that lightweight topology optimization significantly decreased the stress levels and improved the fatigue durability of beams. Local strengthening, accomplished via topology optimization, effectively reduced the maximum equivalent stress to 76.487 MPa, a decrease of 46.8%. The vibrating screen mass also decreased by 225 kg, a reduction of 14.9%. In summary, this study employed structural analysis, topology optimization, and local reinforcement to mitigate stress levels, enhance the fatigue life of a vibrating screen, and reduce its weight. This study offers an effective solution to the dynamic optimization challenges of complex structures.
Heart, the Very Idea
Authors: Darwall Stephen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The chapter introduces the topic of heartfelt connection and discusses both why it has been ignored by philosophers and its importance in life and its philosophical relevance. It introduces the Strawsonian structure of “reactive attitudes,” which mediate human relationship from a “participant” (second-person) perspective. It also discusses reactive attitudes’ central features. It argues that the metaphorical character of “heart” is no bar to philosophical investigation, since it can easily be interpreted as a syndrome of emotional vulnerabilities and susceptibilities and, is any case, something everyone recognizes in their own experience. It then introduces each of the chapters to follow along with short summaries.
Respect and Love in Douglass and Baldwin
Authors: Darwall Stephen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The contrast between second-personal attitudes of the will through which we respect one another as equal mutually accountable persons, on the one hand, and second-personal attitudes through which we connect with one another in a heartfelt, loving way, is reflected in a difference between Frederick Douglass’s famous speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” and James Baldwin’s writings and, most vividly, his participation in the 1965 Cambridge Union Debate with William F. Buckley on the proposition, “The American Dream Has Been at the Expense of the American Negro.” Douglass’s speech respectfully puts forward a demand for respect that gives his audience an experience of his (and their) dignity as persons. Baldwin’s intervention is profoundly different. What is most remarkable is Baldwin’s emotional presence, the way he makes himself vulnerable, opens himself to his audience, and speaks honestly from the heart without expectation or demand, although sometimes with real anger.
Non-transitive counterparts of every Tarskian logic
Authors: Szmuc Damian E 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The aim of this article is to show that, just as in recent years Cobreros, Egré, Ripley and van Rooij have provided a non-transitive counterpart of classical logic (i.e. one in which all classically acceptable inferences are valid but Cut and other metainferences are not), the same can be done for every Tarskian logic, with full generality. To establish this fact, a semantic approach is taken by showing that appropriate structures can be devised to characterize a non-transitive counterpart of every Tarskian logic, starting from the logical matrices that are usually taken to render them.
O53: Robotic Benign Upper GI Surgery: A Systematic Review
Authors: Harris Matthew , Watton Leo , Peters Christopher 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Robotic surgery has gained popularity in General Surgical units for resectional procedures, however its use in 'benign' operations is limited in the UK. We aim to review the current literature for common benign UGI operations.

Methods
Using PRISMA guidelines, we completed a literature search of MEDLINE and EMBASE including all evidence for Robotic Cholecystectomy (RC), Robotic Heller Cardiomyotomy (RH), Robotic Fundoplication (RF), Robotic Hiatus Hernia Repair (RHHR). Data was extracted and synthesised by independent reviewers.103 studies were included. 55 for RC, 12 for RH, 20 for RF and 14 for RHHR. The majority of these studies were cohort and case-control studies (53%). There were only 9 RCTs.

Results
Due to significant heterogeneity in patient population, study design and outcome reporting, meta analyses were not appropriate. Trends observed for RC suggested that the robotic method can lead to improved post-operative pain and cosmesis, especially in single-incision robotic cholecystectomy (SIRC). However 2 cohort studies stated a small increased risk of CBD injury. Evidence for RH show shorter operative time and reduced risk of oesophageal perforation, with other outcomes equivalent. Studies for RF showed equivalence between laparoscopic and robotic methods. In more complex hiatus hernia repair or re-operative operations (RHHR), studies showed shorter operative time, reduced complication rate and equivalent recurrence.

Conclusion
This systematic review has highlighted the paucity of high quality evidence for robotic Upper GI procedures. Studies show at least equivalence between robotic and laparoscopy for less complex procedures, with strong trends towards superiority for more complex procedures such as RH and RHHR.
O164: Assessment of standard FLOT chemotherapy drugs and pan-HER family TKIs in models of HER2-low gastric and oesophageal cancer
Authors: Al Azzawi Mohammed , Castel Myra , Crown John , Collins Denis , Robb William 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Upper GI cancers have a significant rate of mortality despite advances in treatment. HER2 overexpression is found in 22.3% of gastric and 21% in oesophageal adenocarcinomas (14-32%) with 30% of UGI cancers classed as HER2-low. To examine the potential of pan-HER family inhibition in HER2-low cancers, the effects of pan-HER TKIs neratinib (N) and poziotinib (P) and FLOT chemotherapy ((docetaxel (D), oxaliplatin (O) and 5-Flurouracil (5FU)) were investigated in HER2-low cancer cell lines.

Methods
HER2-low AGS (gastric) and FLO-1 (oesophageal) cancer cell lines were utilised and acid phosphatase-based proliferation assays were used to examine the effect of both single agents and combinations. Assays were carried out in biological triplicate. IC50 and Combination Index (CI) values were calculated using Calcusyn software.

Results
Both AGS and FLO-1 cells displayed high sensitivity to neratinib and poziotinib. FLO-1 cells were significantly more sensitive to docetaxel than AGS cells (p = 0.0461), while AGS cells were significantly more sensitive to oxaliplatin (p = 0.0166). PD, NOX, POX and P5FU combinations were synergistic in AGS cells (CI values between 0.24 and 0.64), while ND and N5FU were antagonistic (CI values ≥ 1.47). In FLO-1 cells, POX was synergistic (CI = 0.59), ND and N5FU were additive (CI = 1.07 and 1.09 respectively) and PD, NOX and P5FU were antagonistic (CI values ≥ 1.67).

Conclusion
Despite the low HER2 expression in AGS and FLO-1, neratinib and poziotinib still show anti-tumour activity. Several combinations of chemotherapy, especially oxaliplatin, with the pan-HER TKIs demonstrated synergy in AGS and FLO-1 cells.
O17: ‘I had to do something’: A qualitative study of patients and healthcare professionals engagement in an interventional diabetic foot ulcer trial
Authors: Hitchman Louise , Twiddy Maureen , Chetter Ian 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Development of interventions to improve diabetic foot ulcer(DFU) healing is vital, however trials typically under-recruit and translation of effective interventions is limited. This study explores patient and clinician perceptions of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy(ESWT) and the SOLEFUL Trial(randomised control trial of ESWT for DFU).

Methods
Maximum variable sampling technique was used to recruit participants from one tertiary centre and clinicians nationally. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim in four participant groups (participants, dropouts, decliners, and clinicians). Data were analysed with an inductive exploratory approach using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results
18 participants, 1 dropout, 3 decliners and 10 clinicians took part. Drivers for participation included desperation for healing and curiosity in a new intervention. Participants perceived the trial offered holistic healthcare, referencing quality-of-life questionnaires and telephone follow-ups. ESWT was viewed as hassle-free and painless, compared to alternatives. Barriers to participation included impact of competing comorbidities and belief care cannot be improved. In contrast, clinicians discussed mechanisms of action, effectiveness, and implementation of new technologies.

Conclusion
This study highlighted key drivers for trial engagement/disengagement in patients with DFUs and their clinicians. These factors must be respected in trial design and delivery to aid successful development of new DFU interventions.
