Pyrocarbon Lunate Arthroplasty: An Option for the Young Patient with Advanced Kienbock Disease
Authors: Dwivedi Shashank S. , Chung Kevin C. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractKienbock disease, or avascular necrosis of the lunate, is an uncommon cause of a painful and stiff wrist. Management options range from conservative treatment in the form of immobilization and corticosteroid injections to a wide variety of surgical treatments that depend on the structural integrity of the lunate, intercarpal relationships, and the condition of the articular cartilage of the wrist. A particularly difficult problem lies in the management of young patient in whom vascularized bone grafting of the lunate has failed but in whom arthritis has not yet developed. Pyrocarbon lunate implant arthroplasty is a newer treatment option for such a patient, and allows the preservation of the remainder of the proximal carpal row while directly addressing the degenerative lunate. This article describes the evidence and surgical technique for lunate implant arthroplasty and presents an illustrative case example.

Organizational responses to scandals: how effective is the European Commission?
Authors: Cini Michelle 
Published: January 2024

AbstractHow public organizations respond to scandals is important as it affects their reputation and legitimacy. Yet very little research has been conducted on this topic. Drawing on insights from the literature on corporate reputation management, this article questions how effectively the European Commission has responded to recent scandals. It does this by creating an original analytical framework composed of five indicators: speed of response; openness of response; application of relevant rules; tone of response; and engagement with reform. These indicators are then used to evaluate two cases of Commission scandal: the first, a cash-for-influence case involving a Commissioner from a small Member State; and the second, concerning a former Commission President. While no clear pattern emerges across the two cases, the article provides evidence of a mix of good practice and room for improvement in the Commission’s handling of scandals. The article also argues that even in the most bureaucratic of public organizations the management of scandals involves not only rule-following, but also subjective judgements by organizational leaders.
Haunting Memory of Forgotten History: A Case Study of WWII “Comfort Stations” in the Philippines as a Tourism Resource Featured in Selected Filipino Films
Authors: Ani Aileen C. 
Published: January 2024

Summary

The focus of this case study is the World War II “comfort stations” in the Philippines where the war victims during the Japanese occupation were held. For this case study, the scope is centralized on two main sites in the Philippines. Characters, settings, and the narratives of “comfort women” and “comfort gays” were analyzed from the two full-length Filipino films entitled
“Bahay na Pula”
and
“Markova: Comfort Gay”.
Within this context, the study assesses the potential of the featured “comfort stations” and other war-related sites in the films as a tourism resource that will educate tourists about war.

The concepts of
remembering
and
forgetting
are essential when understanding critical areas of history. Analyzing what specific events, persons, or memories people choose to retain or erase, reveals different factors and motivations that push them to do so. This case study argues that it is necessary to remember important historical sites in the Philippines, particularly the markers that have been commonly taken for granted and are slowly deteriorating. It uncovers forgotten sites, restores the memory, and transforms the historical significance of the “comfort stations” featured in Filipino films by analyzing the story being told, the kind of place being depicted, and the relevance of preserving them.

Main text
Section III (neutron measurements) of the Comité Consultatif des Rayonnements Ionisants, CCRI, conducted a comparison of primary measurements of the neutron emission rate of a 252Cf radionuclide source. A single 252Cf source was circulated to all participants between 2016 and 2020. Ten laboratories participated -CMI (Czech Republic), KRISS (Republic of Korea), IRD/LNMRI (Brazil), LNE-LNHB (France), NIM (China), NIST (USA), NMIJ (Japan), NPL (UK), NRC (Canada) and VNIIM (Russia) - with NPL making their measurements at the start and repeating them at the end of the exercise to verify the 250Cf content of the source. Each laboratory reported the emission rate into 4π sr together with a detailed uncertainty budget. All participants used the manganese bath technique except NMIJ who used a relative method based on measurements with a 3He detector in a graphite pile. VNIIM also made measurements using an associated particle technique. CMI, KRISS, LNE-LNHB, NIM, NPL and VNIIM also measured the anisotropy of the source although this did not formally form part of the comparison.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Integrated-mode proton radiography leading to water equivalent thickness (WET) maps is an avenue of interest for motion management, patient positioning, and in vivo range verification. Radiographs can be obtained using a pencil beam scanning setup with a large 3D monolithic scintillator coupled with optical cameras. Established reconstruction methods either (1) involve a camera at the distal end of the scintillator, or (2) use a lateral view camera as a range telescope. Both approaches lead to limited image quality. The purpose of this work is to propose a third, novel reconstruction framework that exploits the 2D information provided by two lateral view cameras, to improve image quality achievable using lateral views. The three methods are first compared in a simulated Geant4 Monte Carlo framework using an extended cardiac torso (XCAT) phantom and a slanted edge. The proposed method with 2D lateral views is also compared with the range telescope approach using experimental data acquired with a plastic volumetric scintillator. Scanned phantoms include a Las Vegas (contrast), 9 tissue-substitute inserts (WET accuracy), and a paediatric head phantom. Resolution increases from 0.24 (distal) to 0.33 lp mm−1 (proposed method) on the simulated slanted edge phantom, and the mean absolute error on WET maps of the XCAT phantom is reduced from 3.4 to 2.7 mm with the same methods. Experimental data from the proposed 2D lateral views indicate a 36% increase in contrast relative to the range telescope method. High WET accuracy is obtained, with a mean absolute error of 0.4 mm over 9 inserts. Results are presented for various pencil beam spacing ranging from 2 to 6 mm. This work illustrates that high quality proton radiographs can be obtained with clinical beam settings and the proposed reconstruction framework with 2D lateral views, with potential applications in adaptive proton therapy.
Numerical investigation on the discharge formation in micrometer pores in structured catalyst irradiated by a helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Non-thermal plasma catalysis is a promising way to achieve high efficiency in applications such as energy conversion and chemical engineering. Although synergistic effects between plasmas and catalysts have been preliminarily considered as an underlying mechanism of this type of catalysis, the formation of discharges in small-size catalyst pores, which is possibly a crucial factor in plasma-activated catalysis, is still not well understood. In this paper, investigations on the interactions between a helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) and catalysts with micrometer-sized pores of different shapes and sizes are conducted with a 2D fluid model. Simulation results show that the existence of pores makes a subtle difference to the APPJ by changing the equivalent capacitance, indicating the potential to achieve moderate and stable APPJ-catalyst interactions. Traces of air impurities in helium can promote discharges in catalyst pores, and thus allow discharges to form in smaller pores. In the case when the catalyst channel is too small for direct APPJ penetration, we propose a method by producing a prior discharge in a relatively large cavity to supply seed electrons to ignite discharges inside the channel. The effects of channel and cavity sizes are discussed from the perspectives of discharge behavior and plasma-surface interactions. This work will contribute to the preparation of structured catalysts to potentially achieve higher efficient plasma catalysis, and better understanding of the physical processes in plasma-surface interactions inside micrometer pores.
Health monitoring of an assembly-type structure using raw time-domain EMI signals and a novel hybrid deep learning algorithm
Authors: Alazzawi Osama , Wang Dansheng 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Deep learning models are widely used to extract features from data through supervised or unsupervised methods. However, when these two methods are used separately, their generalization ability is insufficient. In this study, a structural health monitoring technology based on a novel hybrid deep learning (HDL) model and time-domain electromechanical impedance (TEMI) has been proposed. The HDL is a highly efficient combination of deep auto-encoder (DAE) and two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D CNN). The DAE is used for unsupervised reconstruction of the high-level features of 1D TEMI signals, and then, the features extracted by DAE are arranged and fed into a supervised 2D CNN that is designed to learn the optimal feature representations of the multi-label signals. This increases effectively the model’s learnability and generalizability. The robustness of the developed approach has been tested using TEMI signals that are collected from a scaled model of a rectangular pipe gallery subjected to transversal joint damage. Results indicate that the maximal identification errors of joint damage severity are 2.4% and 9.33% when the corresponding structural conditions are used and unused by the training process of HDL, respectively.
Study on the dissociation properties and spectra of iodobenzene under external electric field
Authors: Tang Jing , Aizezi Nuerbiye , Yu Cong , Liu Yuzhu 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In accordance with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method, the characteristics of iodobenzene (C6H5I) under the impact of various external electric field (EEF) (0 V · nm−1∼10.28 V · nm−1) are calculated, using B3LYP/LanL2DZ group. As evident from the computational results, an escalation in EEF corresponds to a decrease in total energy, an increase in dipole moment, elongation of the 6C-12I bond, contraction of the 2C-7H bond, and a reduction in the energy gap. With an increase in EEF, there is an observed enhancement in the intensity of infrared spectral characteristic peaks associated with the stretching and bending vibrations of the 6C-12I bond; The Raman spectral characteristic peak corresponding to the 6C-12I bond experiences a redshift. When EEF increases, the single point energy decreases first and then increases. The barrier almost disappears when EEF reaches 16.46 V · nm−1. Furthermore, as EEF attains higher magnitudes, the excitation energy of the first nine excited states experiences a reduction and the oscillator strength changes. Examining the impact of EEF on the characteristics and spectra not only offers a theoretical foundation for understanding the dissociation of iodobenzene but also provides valuable insights for the development of detection methods for other organic pollutants.

Abstract
This article presents an 8-element dual-polarized phased-array transceiver (TRX) front-end IC for millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) 5G new radio (NR). Power enhancement technologies for power amplifiers (PA) in mm-Wave 5G phased-array TRX are discussed. A four-stage wideband high-power class-AB PA with distributed-active-transformer (DAT) power combining and multi-stage second-harmonic traps is proposed, ensuring the mitigated amplitude-to-phase (AM-PM) distortions across wide carrier frequencies without degrading transmitting (TX) power, gain and efficiency. TX and receiving (RX) switching is achieved by a matching network co-designed on-chip T/R switch. In each TRX element, 6-bit 360° phase shifting and 6-bit 31.5-dB gain tuning are respectively achieved by the digital-controlled vector-modulated phase shifter (VMPS) and differential attenuator (ATT). Fabricated in 65-nm bulk complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), the proposed TRX demonstrates the measured peak TX/RX gains of 25.5/21.3 dB, covering the 24−29.5 GHz band. The measured peak TX OP1dB and power-added efficiency (PAE) are 20.8 dBm and 21.1%, respectively. The measured minimum RX NF is 4.1 dB. The TRX achieves an output power of 11.0−12.4 dBm and error vector magnitude (EVM) of 5% with 400-MHz 5G NR FR2 OFDM 64-QAM signals across 24−29.5 GHz, covering 3GPP 5G NR FR2 operating bands of n257, n258, and n261.
Anisotropic etching mechanisms of 4H-SiC: Experimental and first-principles insights

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Molten-alkali etching has been widely used to reveal dislocations in 4H silicon carbide (4H-SiC), which has promoted the identification and statistics of dislocation density in 4H-SiC single crystals. However, the etching mechanism of 4H-SiC is limited misunderstood. In this letter, we reveal the anisotropic etching mechanism of the Si face and C face of 4H-SiC by combining molten-KOH etching, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and first-principles investigations. The activation energies for the molten-KOH etching of the C face and Si face of 4H-SiC are calculated to be 25.09 and 35.75 kcal/mol, respectively. The molten-KOH etching rate of the C face is higher than the Si face. Combining XPS analysis and first-principles calculations, we find that the molten-KOH etching of 4H-SiC is proceeded by the cycling of the oxidation of 4H-SiC by the dissolved oxygen and the removal of oxides by molten KOH. The faster etching rate of the C face is caused by the fact that the oxides on the C face are unstable, and easier to be removed with molten alkali, rather than the C face being easier to be oxidized.
Large deviations for trajectory observables of diffusion processes in dimension d > 1 in the double limit of large time and small diffusion coefficient
Authors: Monthus Cécile 
Published: January 2024

AbstractFor diffusion processes in dimensiond > 1, the statistics of trajectory observables over the time-window[0,T]can be studied via the Feynman–Kac deformations of the Fokker–Planck generator, which can be interpreted as Euclidean non-Hermitian electromagnetic quantum Hamiltonians. It is interesting to compare the four regimes corresponding to the timeT, either finite or large, and to the diffusion coefficientD, either finite or small. (1) For finiteTand finiteD, one needs to consider the full time-dependent quantum problem that involves the full spectrum of the Hamiltonian. (2) For large timeT→+∞and finiteD, one only needs to consider the ground-state properties of the quantum Hamiltonian to obtain the generating function of rescaled cumulants and to construct the corresponding canonical conditioned processes. (3) For finiteTandD → 0, one only needs to consider the dominant classical trajectory and its action satisfying the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, as in the semi-classical Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation of quantum mechanics. (4) In the double limitT→+∞andD → 0, the simplifications in the large deviations inTDof trajectory observables can be analyzed via the two orders of limits, i.e. either from the limitD → 0 of the ground-state properties of the quantum Hamiltonians of (2), or from the limit of long classical trajectoriesT→+∞in the semi-classical WKB approximation of (3). This general framework is illustrated in dimensiond = 2 with rotational invariance.
Entanglement asymmetry and quantum Mpemba effect in the XY spin chain
Authors: Murciano Sara , Ares Filiberto , Klich Israel , Calabrese Pasquale 
Published: January 2024

AbstractEntanglement asymmetry is a quantity recently introduced to measure how much a symmetry is broken in a part of an extended quantum system. It has been employed to analyze the non-equilibrium dynamics of a broken symmetry after a global quantum quench with a Hamiltonian that preserves it. In this work, we carry out a comprehensive analysis of the entanglement asymmetry at equilibrium taking the ground state of the XY spin chain, which breaks theU(1) particle number symmetry, and provide a physical interpretation of it in terms of superconducting Cooper pairs. We also consider quenches from this ground state to the XX spin chain, which preserves theU(1) symmetry. In this case, the entanglement asymmetry reveals that the more the symmetry is initially broken, the faster it may be restored in a subsystem, a surprising and counter-intuitive phenomenon that is a type of a quantum Mpemba effect. We obtain a quasi-particle picture for the entanglement asymmetry in terms of Cooper pairs, from which we derive the microscopic conditions to observe the quantum Mpemba effect in this system, giving further support to the criteria recently proposed for arbitrary integrable quantum systems. In addition, we find that the power law governing symmetry restoration depends discontinuously on whether the initial state is critical or not, leading to new forms of strong and weak Mpemba effects.
