AbstractThe inferior vena cava (IVC) and superior vena cava are the main conduits of the systemic venous circulation into the right atrium. Developmental or procedural interruptions of vena cava might predispose to stasis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) distal to the anomaly and may impact the subsequent rate of pulmonary embolism (PE). This study aimed to review the various etiologies of developmental or procedural vena cava interruption and their impact on venous thromboembolism. A systematic search was performed in PubMed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines per each clinical question. For management questions with no high-quality evidence and no mutual agreements between authors, Delphi methods were used. IVC agenesis is the most common form of congenital vena cava interruption, is associated with an increased risk of DVT, and should be suspected in young patients with unexpected extensive bilateral DVT. Surgical techniques for vena cava interruption (ligation, clipping, and plication) to prevent PE have been largely abandoned due to short-term procedural risks and long-term complications, although survivors of prior procedures are occasionally encountered. Vena cava filters are now the most commonly used method of procedural interruption, frequently placed in the infrarenal IVC. The most agreed-upon indication for vena cava filters is for patients with acute venous thromboembolism and coexisting contraindications to anticoagulation. Familiarity with different forms of vena cava interruption and their local and systemic adverse effects is important to minimize complications and thrombotic events.
An alumina ceramic inspired high temperature wireless chipless sensor for harsh environment
Authors: Wang Bo , Gao Fei , Song Yalun , Sun Zewen , Wang Ke , Cao Shengli 
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes a wireless passive temperature sensor. The sensitive material as the substrate of the sensor employs an alumina ceramic. The resonator of the sensor is a split ring, which is printed with copper on the substrate. The dimensions of the split ring resonator are optimized to improve the temperature sensitivity of the sensor. A change in environment temperature will lead to a change in the dielectric constant of the sensitive material, thus resulting in the shift of the resonant frequency of the sensor. The variation range of the dielectric constant of the sensitive material is 10.17–11.2 corresponding to 500–1000 °C. The resonant frequency of the signal backscattered from the sensor is obtained through the simulation software with HFSS. The simulation results show that the resonant frequency of the sensor decreases from 5.84 to 5.56 GHz with temperature increasing from 500 to 1000 °C and the temperature sensitivity is 0.56 MHz/°C. The high temperature sensor has the characteristics of wireless and passive operation, low profile, and high sensitivity. It can be widely adapted to a variety of high temperature and harsh environments.
DECVAE: Data augmentation via conditional variational auto-encoder with distribution enhancement for few-shot fault diagnosis of mechanical system

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) has the potential for few-sample fault diagnosis of mechanical systems. Nevertheless, the scarcity of faulty samples leads the augmented samples generated using CVAE suffer from limited diversity. To address the issue, a novel CVAE variant namely CVAE with distribution augmentation (DECVAE) is developed, to generate a set of high-quality augmented samples that are different but share very similar characteristics and categories with the corresponding real samples. First, DECVAE add a new sample distribution distance loss into the optimization objective of traditional CVAE. Amplifying this loss in training process can make the augmented samples cover a larger space, thereby improving diversity. Second, DECVAE introduces an auxiliary classifier into traditional CVAE to enhance the sensitivity to category information, keeping the augmented samples class invariance. Furthermore, to ensure that the information of edge-distributed samples can be fully learned and make augmented samples representative and authentic, a novel multi-model independent fine-tuning strategy is designed to train the DECVAE, which utilizes multiple independent models to fairly focus on all samples of the minority class during DECVAE training. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed DECVAE in few-shot fault diagnosis of mechanical systems is verified on a series of comparative experiments.
Propagation properties of partially coherent radially polarized rotationally-symmetric power-exponent-phase vortex beams in turbulent atmosphere
Authors: Yang Yongqi , Dou Jiantai , Xu Jiaqing , Li Bo , Hu Youyou 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this paper, the propagation properties of partially coherent radially polarized rotationally-symmetric power-exponent-phase vortex beams (RP-RSPEPVBs) in turbulent atmosphere were investigated. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and unified theory of coherence and polarization, the theoretical propagation model was established. Then, the numerical simulations were carried out to reveal the evolution of intensity distribution, spectral degree of coherence (DOC) and spectral degree of polarization (DOP) in turbulent atmosphere. The results showed that although the partially coherent RP-RSPEPVBs diverged during the propagation, the spatial structure remains analogous, and the relatively larger waist widths gain smaller divergence. Moreover, the optical pattern can be evidently modulated by optical parameters, as the number of sidelobes can be changed with topological charge l, and the continuity of the light spot as well as the rotating speed around the optical axis can be influenced by power exponent n. Besides, the spectral DOC and DOP would decrease with larger propagation distance and refractive-index structure constant, but decrease less with a shorter coherence width. This work may be helpful in fields such as remote sensing and optical communication.
Ultra-broadband high-efficiency solar absorber based on Ti-GaAs-Au structure for UV to near-infrared spectral range
Authors: Wang Jincheng , Feng Hengli , Gao Yang 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this study, we propose an ultra-broadband solar absorber composed of a trapezoidal base, an outer circular ring, and four nano-cylinders. The absorber has a covered bandwidth range of 300–4000 nm and a temperature range of 373–973 K. The average absorptance within the mentioned wavelength range is over 96.52%, and the efficiency of solar energy thermal conversion is above 0.9 at 373–973 K under a solar concentration factor of 1000, with a maximum efficiency of 0.9644. Analysis of its absorption mechanism using the finite-difference time-domain method indicates that the proposed solar absorber’s outstanding absorption performance is due to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons, localized surface plasmon resonances, and cavity resonances enhanced electromagnetic fields. This result has also been validated by the impedance matching theory. Moreover, the proposed solar absorber exhibits insensitivity to different polarization angles and maintains a high absorption effect in the range of 0°–70° incidence angle. The designed solar absorber has potential applications in areas such as seawater purification, wastewater treatment, and steam power generation systems.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
A new empirical formula for the astrophysical S-factor has been suggested as a function of the Coulomb interaction parameter, center of mass energy, and barrier height. About 22 fusion reactions with 40,48Ca as projectiles were considered for different targets, leading to compound nuclei with atomic and mass numbers varying between 40

112 and

, respectively. The fusion cross-sections have been estimated using the geometric factor, the Gamow-Sommerfield factor, and the empirical formula for the S-factor. This study's findings showed better agreement with those of available experiments when compared to Wong's formula. The present work leads to a smaller standard deviation value than Wong's formula when used to correlate the experimental data of calcium-induced fusion reactions. Wong's formula provides a good approximation of fusion cross-sections when the center of mass energy is below the fusion barrier when compared to above the fusion barrier.

Design of quantum backflow in the complex plane
Authors: Chremmos Ioannis 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
A way is presented to design quantum wave functions that exhibit backflow, namely negative probability current despite having a strictly positive spectrum of momentum. These wave functions are derived from rational complex functions which are analytic in the upper half-plane and have zeros in the lower half-plane through which the backflowing behavior is controlled. In analogy, backflowing periodic wave functions are derived from rational complex functions which are analytic in the interior and have appropriately placed zeros or poles in the exterior of the unit circle. The concept is combined with a Padé-type procedure to design wave functions of this type that approximate a desired profile along the interval of backflow. It is finally shown that the time evolution of these wave packets is elegantly expressed in terms of the well-known Fresnel integrals.

Abstract
When attempts to lose body fat mass frequently fail, breath acetone (BA) monitoring may assist fat mass loss during a low-carbohydrate diet as it can provide real-time body fat oxidation levels. This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of monitoring BA levels and providing feedback on fat oxidation during a three-week low-carbohydrate diet intervention. Forty-seven participants (mean age = 27.8 ± 4.4 years, 53.3% females, body mass index = 24.1 ± 3.4 kg m−2) were randomly assigned to three groups (1:1:1 ratio): daily BA assessment with a low-carbohydrate diet, body weight assessment (body scale (BS)) with a low-carbohydrate diet, and low-carbohydrate diet only. Primary outcome was the change in fat mass and secondary outcomes were the changes in body weight and body composition. Forty-five participants completed the study (compliance rate: 95.7%). Fat mass was significantly reduced in all three groups (all P < 0.05); however, the greatest reduction in fat mass was observed in the BA group compared to the BS (differences in changes in fat mass, −1.1 kg; 95% confidence interval: −2.3, −0.2; P = 0.040) and control (differences in changes in fat mass, −1.3 kg; 95% confidence interval: −2.1, −0.4; P = 0.013) groups. The BA group showed significantly greater reductions in body weight and visceral fat mass than the BS and control groups (all P < 0.05). In addition, the percent body fat and skeletal muscle mass were significantly reduced in both BA and BS groups (all P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in changes in body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass between the study groups. Monitoring BA levels, which could have motivated participants to adhere more closely to the low-carbohydrate diet, to assess body fat oxidation rates may be an effective intervention for reducing body fat mass (compared to body weight assessment or control conditions). This approach could be beneficial for individuals seeking to manage body fat and prevent obesity.
Fabrication of hydrophobic optical diffuser film for LED lights through induction-aided hot embossing using micro-textured mold fabricated by μ-WEDM: parametric analysis, wettability study and optical characterization
Authors: Deshmukh Swarup S , Goswami Arjyajyoti 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study used an in-house designed induction-aided hot embossing (IHE) setup to make polymer-based hydrophobic optical diffuser film for LED lights. Negative-featured micron sized V-shaped grooves (Width and depth −300 μm, angle −60°, adjacent distance-500 μm) were fabricated on the mold to develop the micro-textured mold required for the hot embossing via μ-WEDM. In this study, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and polycarbonate (PC) were used as working substrates. Initially, the parametric investigation was carried out by considering the four main parameters of IHE, i.e., embossing temperature-(Te), pressure-(Pe), duration-(te), and deembossing temperature-(Tde). Parametric analysis shows that the height of the embossed micron-sized V-shaped-grooves on the polymer substrate significantly affects the embossed diffuser film’s wettability and lighting efficiency. Embossed PC diffuser film showed the highest height, WCA, and illumination in all parametric investigations. Finally, PC diffuser film was made with the optimal IHE parameters: Te−225 °C, Pe−40 Kg cm−2, te−600 s, Tde−30 °C. This set of settings resulted in a maximum V-groove height of 273.35 ± 4.71 μm and a 94.52% replication rate. Illumination analysis of embossed PC diffuser film (171×102 (lux)) compared to traditional/bare film (71×102 (lux)) revealed a 137.5% percentile gain in illumination. A laser-based optical system was employed for optical characterization, and the X-direction diffused light length on the white screen was measured. The best diffused light length was 109.35 mm for embossed PC diffuser film. To compare plain and embossed diffuser film lighting effectiveness, RGB photos captured by CCD-RGB camera were converted to HSI images to determine hue, saturation, and intensity. The intensity dropped most with embossed PC diffuser film. It shows that embossed PC diffuser sheet diffuses light better. Finally, wettability study showed that all embossed diffuser film surfaces are hydrophobic. Embossed PC diffuser film had the highest WCA (95.3°) and 27.71% higher wettability than bare film.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Complex impedance spectra at room temperature in the frequency range of 8 Hz—5 MHz were measured on freshly cut leaf sections of the Aloe vera plant by AC impedance spectroscopy. They were analyzed using a classical ‘brickwork’ equivalent circuit composed of grain and grain boundary contributions commonly applied to solid-state materials. The obtained grain resistance/capacitance was 0.4 MΩ/72 pF and grain boundary resistance/ capacitance was 66.4 MΩ/50 nF. The determined conductivity changed according to the Jonscher power law with σ
DC of 4.02 · 10–5 (Ωm)−1 and frequency constant of 0.92 characteristic for hopping as the conduction mechanism. Analysis of dielectric permittivity and electric modulus confirmed the non-Debye relaxation behavior. Nyquist plots for electric modulus revealed conductivity relaxation in the low frequency attributed to grain boundaries and impedance modulus displayed dielectric relaxation in the high frequency region associated with grains. A correlation has been established among the investigated parameters, morphology, and EIS-derived simulated parameters.
The impact of silver incorporation on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of spray-pyrolyzed cubic SnS thin films

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Cubic/π-SnS phase has a strong optical absorption onset and larger dielectric constant, which is favorable for solar energy conversion. Hence, these cubic SnS phase films are gaining intense interest in the research community. However, the physical properties and thus its practical application heavily depends on the synthesis condition. We present here the effects of incorporation of silver (Ag) on the physical characteristics of cubic-SnS thin films synthesized by spray pyrolysis. Ag was incorporated at different atomic concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20% on cubic SnS thin films. A variety of methods were used to characterize and analyze Ag-incorporated thin films. Structural and vibrational properties were analyzed using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy, which shows that 5 at% Ag incorporated cubic-SnS have most desirable properties. However, on higher incorporation of Ag, the deterioration of cubic SnS and formation of secondary phases (SnS2 and Sn2S3) is evident. The existence of Sn, S, and Ag ions in the necessary oxidation state has been confirmed by XPS analysis. A direct bandgap was observed in the region of 1.79 and 1.59 eV for the SnS and Ag: SnS thin films, respectively with the aid of Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV–vis Spectroscopy). The Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (PL) showed the near-band edge emission peak for all the samples. The needle shape morphology was observed in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images and roughness variation is estimated using optical profilometer.

Abstract
In the present day, inorganic scintillators have been developed to detect high-energy photons such as x-rays and γ-rays. They have been applied in many works, such as astronomy, materials inspection, high energy physics, industrial application, and natural resources exploration. Especially in the medical field, they are used as radiation detectors in diagnostic equipment such as PET scanner, x-ray CT scanner, SPECT scanner, etc. This research studied the scintillation characteristics of Ce:GSO and Ce:LGSO single crystals. We found that at 662 keV gamma-ray energy, Ce:LGSO crystal has about 2.3 times more light yield than Ce:GSO crystal, but the energy resolution of both crystals is not different. For the degree of non-proportionality of both crystals, Ce:LGSO scintillator shows 0.08, which is better than the 0.19 obtained from Ce:GSO scintillator. This work also discusses the two scintillators’ peak-to-total ratio, loss parameter, and intrinsic light yield.
Development of an Al-Zn-Bi alloy sacrificial anode for the protection of steel in artificial seawater: an electrochemical analysis
Authors: Qureshi M H , Farooq A , Wasim M , Deen K M 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Al-Zn sacrificial anodes are widely used for cathodic protection in marine steel structures. This study evaluates the impact of bismuth addition on the electrochemical properties of the Al-Zn sacrificial anode in artificial seawater. The microstructure analysis confirms the presence of uniformly distributed intermetallic β-AlFeSi and spherical Bi within the α-Al matrix. The open circuit potential (OCP) comparison between Al-Zn-Bi and carbon steel reveals a potential difference of approximately 400 mV, indicating sufficient cathodic protection for the steel. Electrochemical impedance measurements indicate the initial hindered dissolution of the anode due to surface film formation, which later dissociates due to the aggressive attack of Cl− species in the electrolyte. The sufficiently negative surface potential (−0.875 Vvs. Ag/AgCl) observed at 10 mA cm−2 demonstrates the suitability of anode for fulfilling the cathodic protection criteria of steel structures.
A study of polylactic Acid/K2SiF6:Mn4+ composite luminescent materials: design, preparation, and properties
Authors: Huang Xin , Zhang Lei 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
K2SiF6:Mn4+ (KSF) has been the most representative red emitting fluoride phosphors thanks to its cheap production cost and excellent luminescence properties. Nevertheless, the photoluminescent properties of this phosphor are limited due to intrinsically poor water resistance. In this work, constructing composite luminescent materials by blending KSF with polylactic acid (PLA) polymer was developed using the melt mixing process. The tactic not only makes full use of the photoluminescent properties of KSF, but also enhances the moisture resistance ability by alleviating or suppressing hydrolysis. The photoluminescent spectra, temperature-dependence emitting spectra, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and wide-angle x-ray scattering were conducted to study the morphology, thermal stability and photoluminescent properties of the KSF@PLA composite luminescent materials. KSF was evenly distributed in PLA. Furthermore, the influence of the doping amount of KSF on the structure and properties of PLA was systematically studied and the optimal doping amount of KSF in PLA was determined to be 10%, marked as KSF@PLA 3. Finally, KSF@PLA 3 exhibited excellent moisture resistance ability and thermal stability. After soaking in deionized water for 7 days, the emission intensity of KSF@PLA 3 is almost consistent with the original emission intensity.
