Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectivesEnd‐stage lung disease from primary pulmonary hypertension (PPHTN) and pulmonary venous‐occlusive disease (PVOD) may require lung transplantation (LT). While medical therapies exist for the palliation of PPHTN, no therapies exist for PVOD. The study's objective is to compare outcomes of LT in these patients.MethodsPatients with PPHTN and PVOD who had undergone LT were identified in the UNOS database (2005–2022). Univariable analyses compared differences between groups in demographic, clinical, and post‐transplant outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression examined the association between the diagnosis group and survival. Overall survival time between groups was compared using the Kaplan–Meier method.ResultsSix hundred and ninety‐six PPHTN and 78 PVOD patients underwent LT during the study period. Patients with PVOD had lower pulmonary artery mean pressure (47 vs. 53 mmHg, p < .001), but higher cardiac output (4.51 vs. 4.31 L/min, p = .04). PVOD patients were more likely to receive lungs from donation after cardiac death donors (7.7 vs. 2.9%, p = .04). There were no differences in postoperative complications or length of stay. PVOD was associated with superior survival at 30‐day (100 vs. 93%, p = .02) and 90‐day post‐transplant (93 vs. 83%, p = .03), but not at later time points. In multivariable analyses, PVOD and brain death donor use were associated with better survival up to 90‐day mark.ConclusionsPatients undergoing LT for PVOD had better initial survival, which disappeared after 1 year of transplantation. Donation after circulatory death donor use had a short‐term survival disadvantage.
Experiential Marketing: A New Framework for Design and Communications By Bernd Schmitt
Authors: Rhea Darrel 
Published: October 2023

A tectonic shift in design practice was underway in 1999. Both traditional features and benefits marketing and brand communications were giving way to customer experience design. Our community saw that this was a more powerful platform for integrating design and communications activities, and a whole new set of approaches, methods, and tools were beginning to be developed. While several authors, such as Pine and Gilmore, had successfully advocated for this new perspective, Bernd Schmitt from Columbia Business School was creating a systematized, practical framework for managing experience design.The core ideas presented are still relevant today. In fact, designers are still having to make the same arguments to business 15 years later. Schmitt's article (in addition to his many other books and articles) reveals emerging distinctions that many of us in the design industry have built upon in our writings. While the concept of experience design has matured to include more robust models and more comprehensive frameworks for guiding design development, practitioners will find this piece both useful for what they do today and a good reminder of how we got here.
Walking the Walk: Putting Design at the Heart of Business By Paul Gardien and Ferdy Gilsing
Authors: Gillespie Brian 
Published: October 2023

No matter how great your global reputation for design, no matter how comfortable you are in the ways and means you employ to create great design for your company, if you wish to maintain your success and relevance as a design professional and a design organization, you must continually be open to change and able to respond to it. This article, by Philips design managers Paul Gardien and Ferdy Gilsing, will inspire anyone who believes the business of design is not a static thing but rather dynamic and in constant evolution. What is clear is that this evolution is not so much a movement from one stage to another as it is an accumulation of roles and responsibilities. The authors clearly describe the evolution of the role of design in business over the past several decades and outline how Philips Design is tackling this challenge and succeeding.Philips Design established a model that can be usefully employed to benchmark your own company's maturity and also to tackle the opportunities your self‐reflections reveal. However, some may gaze enviously at a company with a 500‐plus‐person design organization operating from 18 or locations and wonder, “Can this be relevant for my much smaller organization?” It would be interesting to hear whether the model and its approach are adaptable for organizations of all size and industry. Also, since our “connected” world invites greater integration across people, places, and things, new ways must be found to integrate multi‐disciplinary design teams. It would be interesting to learn how companies that are working with external preferred and integrated design entities are managing these relationships to advance the role of the internal design organization as it matures to become a strategic partner to the business.Finally, let's realize that the highest level of maturity, in which design is fully integrated as a strategy throughout the organization, is not just a pinnacle of design thinking but also a pinnacle of strategic design management. Let it be about design thinking, design managing, and design doing! Gardien and Gilsing hope the publication of this work is “to kick‐start a discussion within the wider design management community and find new ways to benchmark our work together.” Let's not fail them on this!
Ordinary Objects and Their New Design Overlords

The role of niche overlap, environmental heterogeneity, landscape roughness and productivity in shaping species abundance distributions along the Amazon–Andes gradient

Published: October 2023

AbstractAimStatistical and ecological mechanisms shape species abundance distributions (SADs). A lack of correlation between ecological gradients and SAD shape would suggest that SADs are caused by purely statistical reasons. We evaluated the variation in the shape of SADs for communities in landscapes of differing variable connectivity, environmental heterogeneity, species niches overlap and productivity.LocationRainforests in the Madidi region (Bolivia).MethodsWe compiled biological and environmental information on 65 sites (a site being a group of two to six 0.1‐ha plots where woody plants of a diameter at breast height ≥ 2.5 cm were inventoried). We built unveiled (complete) SADs for each site and fitted Gambin models to those SADs. The Gambin α parameter served as a metric of SAD shape. Low α values characterize logseries‐like SADs, while high α values characterize lognormal‐like SADs. For each site, we estimated landscape roughness, environmental heterogeneity, species niche overlap and productivity. These variables were related to SAD shape by means of variation partitioning.ResultsSADs changed from logseries‐like to lognormal‐like along the elevational gradient. Many of our predictor variables were correlated: 40.4% of the variation in SAD shape could not be attributed to specific factors. However, 50.62% of the variation in the SAD shape could be assigned to individual predictor matrices: 28.4% was explained exclusively by niche overlap, 15.41% exclusively by environmental heterogeneity, 5.20% exclusively by landscape roughness and 1.6% exclusively by productivity.Main conclusionsEcological processes related to the topographical/environmental complexities that vary across the elevational gradient are correlated with the SAD shape. Purely statistical mechanisms are apparently not sufficient to explain the changes in SAD shape. The most important factor is the mean overlap of the niches of the species of an assemblage: avoiding competition with co‐occurring species could be the most important mechanism driving species relative success at the ≤100 km2 scale.

AbstractIntroductionAssociations between structural inequalities and health are well established. However, there is limited work examining this link in relation to mental health, or that centres public perspectives. This study explores people's experience and sense‐making of inequality in their daily lives, with particular consideration of impacts on mental health.MethodsWe conducted a peer research study. Participants had to live in one of two London Boroughs and have an interest in inequalities and mental health. Using social media, newsletters, local organisations and our peer researchers' contacts, we recruited 30 participants who took photos representing their experience of inequality and discussed them during semi‐structured interviews. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsThree themes were identified in this study: (1) inequalities are unjust, multilayered and intertwined with mental health. Accounts demonstrated a deep understanding of inequalities and their link to mental health outcomes, describing inequalities as ‘suffering’ and ‘not good for anyone’. Financial, housing, immigration and healthcare problems exacerbated poor mental health, with racism, gender‐based violence and job loss also contributing factors for both poor mental health and experiences of inequality; (2) inequalities exclude and have far‐reaching mental health consequences, impacting personal sense of belonging and perceived societal value and (3) moving forwards—addressing long‐standing inequality and poor public mental health necessitated coping and resilience strategies that are often unacknowledged and undervalued by support systems.ConclusionLived experience expertise was central in this study, creating an innovative methodological approach. To improve public mental health, we must address the everyday, painful structural inequalities experienced by many as commonplace and unfair. New policies and strategies must be found that involve communities, redistributing resources and power, building on a collective knowledge base, to coproduce actions combatting inequalities and improving population mental health.Patient or Public ContributionThis study was peer‐led, designed and carried out by researchers who had experiences of poor mental health. Six authors of the paper worked as peer researchers on this study.

AbstractWe present the first assessment of the diet of the blackchin guitarfish Glaucostegus cemiculus (Geoffroy Saint‐Hilaire, 1817) for West Africa using DNA metabarcoding on stomach contents of individuals captured in the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea‐Bissau. The diet was dominated by crustaceans, particularly caramote prawn Penaeus kerathurus (frequency of occurrence [FO] = 74%, numerical frequency [NF] = 54%) and fiddler crab Afruca tangeri (FO = 74%, NF = 12%). Bony fishes were present in 30% of the stomachs. We highlight the importance of conservation action for intertidal habitats and their associated benthic invertebrates for the survival of the critically endangered blackchin guitarfish.
Selective photothermolysis in acne treatment: The impact of laser power

Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundSelective photothermolysis (SPT) using a 1726 nm laser has emerged as a safe and effective treatment option for acne vulgaris by targeting sebaceous glands (SG). Power output plays a crucial role in determining treatment selectivity and efficacy.AimsThis work highlights the advantages of a higher‐power laser source and outlines the limitations of lower‐power laser sources and the subsequent impact on treatment.MethodsLight transport and bioheat transfer simulations were performed to demonstrate photothermal impact on the SG and the surrounding dermis when irradiated by a high‐ or lower‐power laser source.ResultsThe simulations showed that a single higher‐power‐shorter‐pulse (HPSP) selectively increases SG temperature well beyond bulk temperatures, which is desirable for SPT. Selectivity decreases linearly with power for the single lower‐power‐longer‐pulses (LPLP) exposure. A multiple‐LPLP approach elevates bulk temperatures significantly more than a single‐pulse strategy, compromising selectivity.ConclusionThe goal of SPT is to damage SG safely and effectively by creating an intense temperature rise localized to the SG while moderately increasing the dermis temperature. This goal is mostly achieved with higher‐power lasers that deliver a single HPSP. Lower‐power lasers, longer pulse widths, and multi‐pulse strategies result in higher bulk temperatures and lower SG selectivity, making such treatment challenging to execute while adding a higher risk of discomfort and downtime.
Understanding the Interplay Between Executive Functions and Reading Development: A Challenge for Researchers and Practitioners Alike
Authors: Yeatman Jason D. 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTIn June of 2022, The Dyslexia Foundation (TDF) organized a convening of dyslexia researchers and practitioners around the topic of executive functions. There was consensus on the importance of executive functions for reading development. However, the difficulty of defining, measuring, and training executive functions emerged as a challenge for researchers and practitioners alike. This special issue presents a collection of articles that survey different perspectives, define the current knowledge base, highlight challenges and inconsistencies in research, and chart a path towards a more nuanced understanding of the role of executive functions in reading and dyslexia.

AbstractThe optimization of urban traffic efficiency and reduction of pollution through minimizing the number of taxis has become a topic of increasing interest. However, the problem of determining the minimum fleet that considers both time and distance efficiency has received limited attention. Furthermore, little research has been done on how this problem is influenced by factors such as city size and travel demand (i.e., the number of trips). This study extends the minimum fleet problem to the min‐cost minimum fleet problem, and proposes a method to address the problem by constructing a “dispatch network” and finding the minimum weight and minimum path cover of it. A comparative analysis of the method is conducted with the taxi trajectory data of three cities, New York, Chengdu, and Chicago, and the results show a reduction in the off‐load travel time of vehicles compared to the previous method, while maintaining the same fleet size. With the introduction of an emissions model and its combination with our methodology, emissions can also be minimized. Moreover, the relationship between min‐cost minimum fleet and city size and travel demand (number of trips) is studied. Experimental results indicate that fleet size and idle time (distance) vary linearly with the number of trips. Meanwhile, city size also has an essential impact on the algorithm's performance. Furthermore, these results indicate that the min‐cost minimum fleet will help small cities to achieve higher efficiency (smaller fleet and less connection time) than large cities. The acceleration of urbanization is driving changes in the transportation system. Our findings are expected to have significant implications for transport planning, resource conservation, and reducing pollution.

AbstractConcurrent training has been postulated as an appropriate time‐efficient strategy to improve physical fitness, yet whether the exercise‐induced adaptations are similar in men and women is unknown. An unblinded randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate sex‐specific dose–response effects of a 24‐week supervised concurrent exercise training program on cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength in young adults. One hundred and forty‐four sedentary adults aged 18–25 years were assigned to either (i) a control group (n = 54), (ii) a moderate intensity exercise group (MOD‐EX, n = 46), or (iii) a vigorous intensity exercise group (VIG‐EX, n = 44) by unrestricted randomization. Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), hand grip strength, and one‐repetition maximum of leg press and bench press were evaluated at baseline and after the intervention. A total of 102 participants finished the intervention (Control, n = 36; 52% women, MOD‐EX, n = 37; 70% women, and VIG‐EX, n = 36; 72% women). In men, VO2max significantly increased in the MOD‐EX (~8%) compared with the control group and in the VIG‐EX group after the intervention (~6.5%). In women, VO2max increased in the MOD‐EX and VIG‐EX groups (~5.5%) compared with the control group after the intervention. There was a significant increment of leg press in the MOD‐EX (~15.5%) and VIG‐EX (~18%) groups compared with the control group (~1%) in women. A 24‐week supervised concurrent exercise was effective at improving cardiorespiratory fitness and lower body limbs muscular strength in young women—independently of the predetermined intensity—while only at moderate intensity improved cardiorespiratory fitness in men.

AbstractThis longitudinal study of low‐income families tested neighborhood‐, family‐, and child‐centered promotive factors in early childhood, responses to an early family intervention, and their interactions as predictors of school‐entry levels of and early school‐age gains in academic skills. Using a racially‐diverse, low‐income sample (n = 527) from a randomized controlled trial of the Family Check‐Up (FCU) intervention and Bayesian multilevel regression modeling, we tested whether neighborhood cohesion, positive mother–child engagement, and child self‐regulation in early childhood (ages 2–5 years) and their interactions with FCU group assignment predicted the intercept and slope of academic skills across child age 5, 7.5, and 8.5 years. Higher positive mother–child engagement and child self‐regulation predicted higher academic skills at school entry. An interaction between the FCU intervention and positive mother–child engagement predicted gains in academic skills compared to national norms. The findings suggest the FCU intervention leveraged positive mother–child engagement in early childhood to promote academic skills, offering a potential avenue from which to prevent income achievement gaps before school entry.
Wafer Temperature Control Using Helium Pressure and Observer-Based Model Predictive Control

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Stabilizing a wafer’s temperature during plasma etching is a critical issue in semiconductor manufacturing. In this study, we propose feedback control of the wafer temperature using the pressure of helium gas (He) that is fed into the gap between the wafer and an electrostatic chuck (ESC) and an algorithm of the model predictive control (MPC) combined with an observer. The temperatures are measured only at the wafer edge zone and the ESC ceramic plate that are accessible during the process. The observer estimates wafer temperatures of center and edge zones and the injected heat power with the help of the measured edge zone temperature. The MPC determines the optimal He pressures based on the estimated temperatures to control both zone temperatures. The algorithm of the feedback control was formulated, and its validity was experimentally confirmed. Results showed that the observer worked well to estimate both zone wafer temperatures and the injected heat power. Results also showed that the temperatures were successfully controlled.
An Analysis of Factors Influencing Ice Management Performance in an Experimental Marine Simulator and Their Application to Decision Support System Design

Abstract
Ice management is essential for maintaining the safety of offshore operations in Arctic regions. We present the combined results of three experiments conducted in a full-mission bridge simulator specially designed for ice management. From a quantitative analysis of the results, we infer the effect of three variables on performance: (1) experience, (2) training, and (3) Decision Support System (DSS). The results confirm that experience and training improve performance for untrained and inexperienced simulator participants. The DSS also improves performance, but with a smaller effect. Qualitative observations using vessel position heat-map diagrams and exit interviews suggested that novice participants using the DSS adopted expert strategies but carried out their tasks more slowly and with less precision. This has important consequences for the design of a future DSS used in training simulators or onboard ships. Potential improvements to the DSS design might include real-time feedback to the user, a redesign of the human–machine interface (HMI), and increasing user input and customization with a human factors focus.
