AbstractTo evaluate the visual performance of a diffractive bifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with + 4.0 D near addition (ZMB00) and a diffractive trifocal IOL with + 2.17 D and + 3.25 D near addition (AcrySof IQ PanOptix TFNT00), we investigated the 10-week postoperative parameters after cataract surgery in which ZMB00 or TFNT00 lenses were implanted bilaterally from 2011 to 2020 (with a 3-month interval between implantation of the right and left lenses). The study included 1448 eyes of 724 patients. The diffractive bifocal group comprised 1326 eyes of 663 patients (aged 67.0 ± 7.8 years; females/males, 518/145), and the diffractive trifocal group comprised 122 eyes of 61 patients (aged 66.6 ± 7.3 years; females/males, 35/26). A linear mixed-effects model using data for both eyes, with strict adjustments for sex, age, subjective refraction spherical equivalent, subjective refraction cylinder, corneal astigmatism, axial length, corneal higher-order aberrations, and pupil diameter, ensured statistical validity. Uncorrected near visual acuity and higher-order aberrations (ocular/internal, scaled to a pupil size of 4 mm) (Wavefront_4mm_postoperative_Ocular/Internal_Spherical) were significantly better in the bifocal group (p < 0.00068, Wald test). Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity, contrast sensitivity (6.3/4.0/2.5/1.6/1.0/0.7 degrees), and contrast sensitivity with glare (4.0/1.6/1.0/0.7 degrees) were significantly better in the trifocal group (p < 0.00068, Wald test).

Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to develop a predictive nomogram model to estimate the odds of osteoporosis (OP) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and validate its prediction efficiency. The hospitalized elderly patients with T2DM from the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical University between July 2022 and March 2023 were included in this study. We sorted them into the model group and the validation group with a ratio of 7:3 randomly. The selection operator regression (LASSO) algorithm was utilized to select the optimal matching factors, which were then included in a multifactorial forward stepwise logistic regression to determine independent influencing factors and develop a nomogram. The discrimination, accuracy, and clinical efficacy of the nomogram model were analyzed utilizing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and clinical decision curve analysis (DCA). A total of 379 study participants were included in this study. Gender (OR = 8.801, 95% CI 4.695–16.499), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) < 98 (OR = 4.698, 95% CI 2.416–9.135), serum calcium (Ca) (OR = 0.023, 95% CI 0.003–0.154), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (OR = 1.181, 95% CI 1.055–1.322), duration of diabetes (OR = 1.076, 95% CI 1.034–1.119), and serum creatinine (SCr) (OR = 0.984, 95% CI 0.975–0.993) were identified as independent influencing factors for DOP occurrence in the elderly. The area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram model was 0.844 (95% CI 0.797–0.89) in the modeling group and 0.878 (95% CI 0.814–0.942) in the validation group. The nomogram clinical prediction model was well generalized and had moderate predictive value (AUC > 0.7), better calibration, and better clinical benefit. The nomogram model established in this study has good discrimination and accuracy, allowing for intuitive and individualized analysis of the risk of DOP occurrence in elderly individuals. It can identify high-risk populations and facilitate the development of effective preventive measures.

AbstractVertebral artery dissection (VAD) is often associated with medullary infarction; however, an underlying cause may be underestimated. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic potential of hypointense signal lesions along the arterial pathways using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) as a feasible indicator of VAD in medullary infarction. A retrospective analysis was conducted using clinical data, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography records of 79 patients diagnosed with medullary infarction between January 2014 and December 2021. Patients were categorized into an angiography-confirmed dissection group and a non-dissection group based on imaging findings. A new possible dissection group was identified using SWI, including cases with hypointense signals along the arteries without calcification or cardioembolism. We compared the clinical characteristics of the two groups before and after the addition of the hypointense signal as a marker of VAD. The angiography-confirmed dissection group included 12 patients (15%). Among patients lacking angiographic VAD evidence, 14 subjects displayed hypointense signals on SWI: nine patients along the vertebral artery and five subjects at the posterior inferior cerebellar artery without calcification or cardioembolism. The newly classified dissection group was younger, had a lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus and stroke history, and revealed increased headaches compared to the non-dissection group. Hypointense signal detection on SWI in medullary infarctions shows promise as a diagnostic indicator for VAD. Suspicion of VAD is needed when the hypointense signal on SWI is noted, and considering different treatment strategies with angiographic follow-up will be helpful.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe study of sharp-wave ripples has advanced our understanding of memory function, and their alteration in neurological conditions such as epilepsy is considered a biomarker of dysfunction. Sharp-wave ripples exhibit diverse waveforms and properties that cannot be fully characterized by spectral methods alone. Here, we describe a toolbox of machine-learning models for automatic detection and analysis of these events. The machine-learning architectures, which resulted from a crowdsourced hackathon, are able to capture a wealth of ripple features recorded in the dorsal hippocampus of mice across awake and sleep conditions. When applied to data from the macaque hippocampus, these models are able to generalize detection and reveal shared properties across species. We hereby provide a user-friendly open-source toolbox for model use and extension, which can help to accelerate and standardize analysis of sharp-wave ripples, lowering the threshold for its adoption in biomedical applications.

Published: March 2024

AbstractCalcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a multifunctional neuropeptide abundantly expressed by corneal nerves. Using a murine model of corneal mechanical injury, we found CGRP levels in the cornea significantly reduced after injury. Topical application of CGRP as an eye drop accelerates corneal epithelial wound closure, reduces corneal opacification, and prevents corneal edema after injury in vivo. CGRP promotes corneal epithelial cell migration, proliferation, and the secretion of laminin. It reduces TGF-β1 signaling and prevents TGF-β1-mediated stromal fibroblast activation and tissue fibrosis. CGRP preserves corneal endothelial cell density, morphology, and pump function, thus reducing corneal edema. Lastly, CGRP reduces neutrophil infiltration, macrophage maturation, and the production of inflammatory cytokines in the cornea. Taken together, our results show that corneal nerve-derived CGRP plays a cytoprotective, pro-regenerative, anti-fibrotic, and anti-inflammatory role in corneal wound healing. In addition, our results highlight the critical role of sensory nerves in ocular surface homeostasis and injury repair.
Countering exclusionary infrastructure in apartment waste management: Towards a relational place-based governance in Victoria
Authors: Middha Bhavna , Horne Ralph 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper we illustrate how normalised practices and strategies of waste management pay insufficient attention to social life and distributional impacts by excluding apartments and placing them at the margins of domestic waste management. In considering shifts towards more circular post-consumption systems, this paper describes the problematic policy and regulatory imaginary of apartment waste management within the Circular Economy narratives of sustainable domestic waste management. We present an argument for a relational approach to domestic waste as a counterpoint to technocentric and market-based approaches, with implications for governance and infrastructures of apartment waste management. We illustrate how spatio-temporal and socio-material bundles of practices could chart new directions for reduction and collection. We seek to demonstrate how relational place-based measures and shifts in practices in Victoria and elsewhere could counter exclusionary infrastructure by more purposefully including the marginal spaces that apartments inhabit.

Its integration with P2P network streaming media live broadcast can bring users a stronger sense of experience, interaction and substitution, and provide high‐quality streaming media live broadcast service. On account of this, the authors first analyse the principle and utilisation of peer‐to‐peer network tech, then study the streaming media live broadcast algorithm considering peer‐to‐peer network and the design of P2P‐based streaming media live broadcast algorithm, and finally give the immersive virtual reality simulation of P2P‐based streaming media live broadcast scheduling algorithm.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Jedes Jahr wird in Deutschland bei durchschnittlich ca. 2200
Kinder und Jugendliche eine onkologische Erkrankung diagnostiziert. Bislang gibt
es kaum Angebote einer ambulant-aufsuchenden Versorgung für diese
Patientengruppe. Im Rahmen eines Pilotprojektes werden an Krebs erkrankte Kinder
und Jugendliche von einem interdisziplinären Team im häuslichen Umfeld versorgt.
Die Erfahrungen der Erziehungsberechtigten mit dem neuen Versorgungskonzept
werden in einer qualitativ-explorativen Studie untersucht.Patienten In der
Interviewstudie werden Erziehungsberechtigte von an Krebs erkrankten Kindern
befragt.
Methode Qualitativ-explorative Interviewstudie zur Erfassung der
subjektiven Erfahrungen der Erziehungsberechtigten. Die Stichprobenziehung
erfolgte Kriterien geleitet. Die Analyse erfolgte qualitativ-inhaltsanalytisch.
Zur Erfassung soziodemografischer Merkmale erhielten die Befragten einen
Online-Fragebogen.
Ergebnisse Es nahmen elf Frauen und drei Männer im Alter zwischen 30 und
60 Jahren an der Studie teil. Das durchschnittliche Alter der erkrankten Kinder
betrug 8,43 Jahre. Fünf Erziehungsberechtigte geben an, dass die Erkrankung des
Kindes weder zu einer Reduktion der Arbeitszeit noch zur Beendigung des
Arbeitsverhältnisses geführt hat. Durch die ambulant-aufsuchende Versorgung
ergeben sich subjektiv wahrgenommene Entlastungen im Familienalltag, die
insbesondere durch eine zeitliche Entlastung entstehen. Weiterhin wird eine
Reduktion des psychischen Stressempfindens beschrieben.
Diskussion/Schlussfolgerung Die Ergebnisse sind aufgrund des
Studiendesigns als richtungsweisend zu betrachten und sollten um
quantitativ-repräsentative Studien ergänzt werden.
A fragment-based approach for computing the long-term visual evolution of historical maps
Authors: Petitpierre Remi , Uhl Johannes H. , di Lenardo Isabella , Kaplan Frédéric 
Published: March 2024

AbstractCartography, as a strategic technology, is a historical marker. Maps are tightly connected to the cultural construction of the environment. The increasing availability of digital collections of historical map images provides an unprecedented opportunity to study large map corpora. Corpus linguistics has led to significant advances in understanding how languages change. Research on large map corpora could in turn significantly contribute to understanding cultural and historical changes. We develop a methodology for cartographic stylometry, with an approach inspired by structuralist linguistics, considering maps as visual language systems. As a case study, we focus on a corpus of 10,000 French and Swiss maps, published between 1600 and 1950. Our method is based on the fragmentation of the map image into elementary map units. A fully interpretable feature representation of these units is computed by contrasting maps from different, coherent cartographic series, based on a set of candidate visual features (texture, morphology, graphical load). The resulting representation effectively distinguishes between map series, enabling the elementary units to be grouped into types, whose distribution can be examined over 350 years. The results show that the analyzed maps underwent a steady abstraction process during the 17th and 18th centuries. The 19th century brought a lasting scission between small- and large-scale maps. Macroscopic trends are also highlighted, such as a surge in the production of fine lines, and an increase in map load, that reveal cultural fashion processes and shifts in mapping practices. This initial research demonstrates how cartographic stylometry can be used for exploratory research on visual languages and cultural evolution in large map corpora, opening an effective dialogue with the history of cartography. It also deepens the understanding of cartography by revealing macroscopic phenomena over the long term.

Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion experiments have been performed at the Z facility at Sandia National Laboratories. These experiments use deuterium fuel, which produces 2.45 MeV neutrons on reaching thermonuclear conditions. To study the spatial structure of neutron production, the one-dimensional imager of neutrons diagnostic was fielded to record axial resolved neutron images. In this diagnostic, neutrons passing through a rolled edge aperture form an image on a CR-39-based solid state nuclear track detector. Here, we present a modified generalized expectation–maximization algorithm to reconstruct an axial neutron emission profile of the stagnated fusion plasma. We validate the approach by comparing the reconstructed neutron emission profile to an x-ray emission profile provided by a time-integrated pinhole camera.
Low barriers to internal rotation in the microwave spectrum of 2,5-dimethylfluorobenzene
Authors: Sun Haoyue , Khemissi Safa , Kleiner Isabelle , Nguyen Ha Vinh Lam 
Published: March 2024

We investigated the rotational spectrum of 2,5-dimethylfluorobenzene containing coupled large amplitude motions of two methyl groups in the frequency range from 2 to 26.5 GHz using a pulsed molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The internal rotation of two inequivalent methyl groups with low torsional barriers (around 16 and 226 cm−1) causes splittings of all rotational transitions into quintets with separations of up to hundreds of MHz between the torsional components. Spectral analysis and modeling of the observed splittings were performed using the programs XIAM and BELGI-Cs-2Tops, whereby the latter achieved measurement accuracy. The methyl internal rotation can be used to examine the electronic and steric environments around the methyl group because they affect the methyl torsional barrier. Electronic properties play a particularly important role in aromatic molecules in the presence of a π-conjugated double bond system. The experimental results were compared with those of quantum chemistry. Benchmark calculations resulted in the conclusion that the B3LYP-D3BJ/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory can be recommended for predicting rotational constants to guide the microwave spectral assignment of dimethylfluorobenzenes in particular and toluene derivatives in general.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The recent proposition to eliminate eponyms from physical publications is discussed. The role of eponyms in research and education is analyzed. We show that eponyms constitute an integral part of physical texts and ensure the continuity of scientific research. Their proposed elimination is dangerous for science and the entire human culture and must be rejected.

6 octahedron rotations that generate a rich variety of symmetries depending on the rotation axis and stacking schemes. In order to search for local distortions in the high-symmetry phase we perform refinements of anharmonic atomic displacement parameters with comprehensive data sets. Even at temperatures close to the onset of structural distortions, these refinements only yield a small improvement indicating only small anharmonic effects. The phase transitions in these antifluorites are essentially of displacive character. However, some harmonic displacement parameters are very large reflecting soft phonon modes with the softening covering large parts of the Brillouin zone. The occurrence of the rotational transitions in the antifluorite-type family can be remarkably well analyzed in terms of a tolerance factor of ionic radii.
Experimental determination of the hafnium L-subshell fundamental parameters using the holistic approach
Authors: Wauschkuhn Nils , Gundlach Heiko , Hönicke Philipp 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
By employing the recently demonstrated new holistic approach, the atomic fundamental parameters (FPs) of the three Hf-L subshells were experimentally determined using the radiometrically calibrated instrumentation of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt. The Coster–Kronig factors, the L-subshell fluorescence yields, the L-subshell Auger yields, the subshell-photoionization cross sections, and the subshell fluorescence production cross sections were determined by means of photon energy dependent x-ray fluorescence and transmission measurements. The recently demonstrated new holistic evaluation approach allows to determine the FPs with significantly lower uncertainties as compared to the former data evaluation scheme, where only a limited regime of incident photon energies is being probed and the data evaluation scheme is performed in a sequential manner.

Numerical study of nonlinear interaction of the guided wave due to breathing type debonding in stiffened panel
Authors: Kumar Abhijeet , Banerjee Sauvik , Guha Anirban 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The common tool for assessment of breathing-type debonding in metallic or composite structures is nonlinear guided wave-based technique. The past studies show that with debonding size, the strength of the nonlinearity does not exhibit strictly increasing or decreasing trends, or that the monocity is valid up to a certain size limit of debonding. This paper presents the study of non-linear interaction of guided waves in the debonding interface of a metallic stiffened panel. The study attempts to establish a relationship between the contact energy generated by the contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN) at the debonding interface and the associated nonlinearity strength for various debonding sizes at various excitation frequencies. A numerical model of the stiffened panels is developed in three-dimensional finite element (FE) and validated with experiments for the study of interaction of nonlinear guided waves. The validated FE model is used to conduct studies on nonlinear interactions in debonding. The outcome of this study contributes to a better understanding of how guided waves can be used to effectively assess the debonding in metallic stiffened panels by considering non-linear interactions at the debonding interface. The study also provides insights into a more accurate and consistent quantification of the debonding using higher harmonic signals and contact energy produced by non-linear interactions.
