Published: October 2023

AbstractWith the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the number of sensors in IoT and the data collected from them are increasing. If these data are not managed and stored directly, it will occupy a large amount of storage space. Therefore, studying the data management mechanism of multi‐sensor fusion in IoT is of great significance. Multi‐sensor fusion has achieved a series of successes in the field of data management. Based on this, this article proposes a secure and controllable data management mechanism for multi‐sensor fusion in IoT, including a multi‐sensor fusion model, compression of data using linear regression algorithm, and data storage based on sorted string table algorithm. Then this article analyzes the effectiveness of the model proposed for multi‐sensor fusion data management. Through comparative experiments under different data sets, it is verified that the management mechanism has higher data fusion rate, lower data lossy compression rate and higher data lossless compression rate under different data sets. And it has high data storage security, large reconstruction probability, strong management controllability, and can significantly save storage space. It is a superior secure and controllable data management mechanism for multi‐sensor fusion in IoT.
Close to complete conservation of the brachyceran opsin repertoire in the stalk‐eyed fly Teleopsis dalmanni
Authors: Friedrich Markus 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDue to the unique morphology of their adult visual system, stalk‐eyed flies represent an important model of exaggerated trait evolution through sexual selection. Early physiological measurements indicated wavelength sensitivity peaks in the ultraviolet (360 nm), blue (450), blue‐green (490 nm), and red (>550 nm) ranges in the compound eye retina of the stalk‐eyed fly Teleopsis dalmanni, consistent with the trichromatic color and broad range motion detection vision system of brachyceran Diptera. A previous study of dipteran opsin gene diversification, however, detected only homologs of members of the long wavelength range sensitive opsin subfamilies Rh2 and Rh6 in T. dalmanni. Here, I report findings from analyzing the most recent T. dalmanni genome assembly, which revealed the conservation of most brachyceran opsin homologs except for the UV wavelength range‐sensitive homolog Rh4. These results and other examples highlight the caution that needs to be applied to gene loss conclusions.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to describe, in detail, the ultrastructure of the infundibulum of the sexually mature and active female green iguana, Iguana iguana. The infundibulum of five iguanas was remarkably distinct from the uterus, and was also clearly demarcated into cranial (expanded v‐shaped) and caudal (tubular) divisions. Tissue samples obtained from five portions (three from the cranial division and two from the caudal division) of the infundibulum were processed conventionally for light and electron microscopy. The epithelial lining of the most anterior, middle, and posterior, parts of the cranial division displayed nonciliated cells predominantly, and occasionally ciliated cells. The numerous secretory granules in nonciliated type 1 cell found in the fimbrial aspect of the infundibulum were homogenous and deeply electron‐dense, but those in the other two regions were variants of this cell type because they contained variably electron‐dense secretory granules. Two main types of nonciliated cells (type 2 and its variant, type 3, as well as type 4) occurred in the epithelial lining of the caudal division of the infundibulum, but they, clearly, showed no dense secretory granules. Whereas the nonciliated type 2 cell and its variant (type 3 cell) contained large glycogen deposits, the type 4 cell lacked these deposits but its apical part contained large lipid‐like droplets and, remarkably, blebbed into the duct lumen. The nonciliated cells lining the mucosal tubular glands contained highly electron‐dense secretory granules, which were similar to those found in the nonciliated type 1 cell in the epithelial lining of the fimbrial part of the cranial division of the infundibulum.

AbstractIn 2022 the World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency for an outbreak of mpox, the zoonotic Orthopoxvirus (OPV) affecting at least 104 nonendemic locations worldwide. Serologic detection of mpox infection is problematic, however, due to considerable antigenic and serologic cross‐reactivity among OPVs and smallpox‐vaccinated individuals. In this report, we developed a high‐throughput multiplex microsphere immunoassay using a combination of mpox‐specific peptides and cross‐reactive OPV proteins that results in the specific serologic detection of mpox infection with 93% sensitivity and 98% specificity. The New York State Non‐Vaccinia Orthopoxvirus Microsphere Immunoassay is an important tool to detect subclinical mpox infection and understand the extent of mpox spread in the community through retrospective analysis.

AbstractPandemic of COVID‐19 hit China at the end of 2022. According to China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Omicron BA.5.2 and BF.7 were the main circulating variants. Chinese people had a high COVID‐19 vaccination rate, and the most widely used vaccines were CoronaVac (Sinovac) and BBIBP‐CorV (Sinopharm). An online questionnaire was distributed to survey the vaccination history and infection information of China mainland residents during this pandemic. A total of 4250 subjects were included for propensity score matching, 566 unvaccinated subjects and 1072 vaccinated subjects were finally included to analyze the effects of the two vaccines on BA.5.2 and BF.7. The SARS‐CoV‐2 infection rate was 84.5% in the vaccinated group and 82.3% in the unvaccinated group (p = 0.255). Vaccinated subjects had significantly higher rates of COVID‐19‐related symptoms, including fever, cough, nasal obstruction, runny nose, and sore throat. However, vaccinated people had lower risk of pneumonia (odds ratio [OR]: 0.467, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.286–0.762) and hospitalization (OR: 0.290, 95% CI: 0.097–0.870) due to COVID‐19. In general, the current study did not observe the protective effect of CoronaVac and BBIBP CorV against BA.5.2 and BF.7 infection. However, these vaccines can still reduce the risk of adverse outcomes such as pneumonia and hospitalization.

AbstractThe constant emergence of breakthrough infections with Omicron variants poses an escalating challenge to the current vaccination strategy. In this study, we investigated the distinct neutralization activities and clinical characteristics of the booster vaccinees with Omicron reinfection compared with single breakthrough infection and homologous booster vaccination. Our results demonstrate that neutralizing antibody GMTs for WT and other four subvariants (BA.2.2, BA.5.2, BF.7, and XBB.1) differ greatly between breakthrough infection and homologous booster cohorts. Sequential reinfection with Omicron variants elicits broader and high‐titer variant‐specific neutralizing antibody profiles against Omicron variants. It could also dampen the hyperactivation of WT‐specific neutralization induced by previous WT‐based vaccination. Moreover, the clinical characteristics from reinfection demonstrated that repeated stimulation by Omicron variants could reduce the duration of viral shedding. By considering reinfection with the Omicron variant as a representative model of repeated immunogen exposures, our results thus illustrate the potential superiority of repeated Omicron stimuli and provide additional evidence supporting the Omicron immunogen as a more effective vaccine candidate to mitigate the transmission of emerging variants.

AbstractSaffold virus (SAFV) and human cosavirus (HCoSV) are emerging viruses of the Picornaviridae family. They have been shown to associate with gastrointestinal infection and more recently these viruses have also been demonstrated to associate with other clinical infections such as the respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, and the cerebral ventricular system. In this study, 2459 stool specimens collected from pediatric patients admitted to hospitals with acute gastroenteritis from January 2017 to December 2022, were screened for SAFV and HCoSV utilizing reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction. Positive samples were then characterized into genotypes via nucleotide sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Of the 2459 samples, 21 and 39 were positive for SAFV (0.9%) and HCoSV (1.6%), respectively. Three genotypes of SAFV were identified—SAFV‐1 (38%), SAFV‐2 (24%), and SAFV‐3 (38%). Two genetic groups of HCoSV were identified—HCoSV‐C (97%) and HCoSV‐A (3%), demonstrating a large increase of HCoSV‐C as compared to those reported previously from the same geographical region in Thailand. This study provides the prevalence of SAFV and HCoSV genotypes in Chiang Mai, Thailand during a period of 6 years from 2017 to 2022.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to develop a multivariable model to determine the extent to which a combination of etiological factors is associated with supraspinatus tendon tears. Fifty‐four asymptomatic individuals (55 ± 4 years) underwent testing of their dominant shoulder. Diagnostic ultrasound was used to assess for a supraspinatus tendon tear. The etiological factors investigated included demographics (age and sex), tendon impingement during shoulder motion (via biplane videoradiography), glenohumeral morphology (via computed tomography imaging), family history of a tear (via self‐report), occupational shoulder exposure (via shoulder job exposure matrix), and athletic exposure (via self‐report). Univariate relationships between etiological predictors and supraspinatus tears were assessed using logistic regression and odds ratios (ORs), while multivariable relationships were assessed using classification and regression tree analysis. Thirteen participants (24.1%) had evidence of a supraspinatus tear. Individuals with a tear had a higher critical shoulder angle (OR 1.2, p = 0.028) and acromial index (OR 1.2, p = 0.016) than individuals without a tear. The multivariable model suggested that a tear in this cohort can be explained with acceptable accuracy (AUROC = 0.731) by the interaction between acromial index and shoulder occupational exposure: a tear is more likely in individuals with a high acromial index (p < 0.001), and in individuals with a low acromial index and high occupational exposure (p < 0.001). The combination of an individual's glenohumeral morphology (acromial index) and occupational shoulder exposure may be important in the development of supraspinatus tears.

AbstractBiomaterials such as nanohydroxyapatite and gelatin are widely explored to improve damaged joint architecture associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Besides joint damage, RA is associated with inflammation of joints and cartilage, which potentiates the need for both bone nucleation and therapeutic intervention. For such purpose, a modified nanoprecipitation method is used herein to fabricate tofacitinib (Tofa)‐loaded nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) embedded gelatin (GLT) nanoparticles (NPs) (Tofa‐nHA‐GLT NPs). The quality by design (QbD) approach is chosen to assess the key parameters that determine the efficiency of the NPs, and are further optimized via Box–Behnken design of experiment. The particle size, polydispersity, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) of the prepared NPs are found to be 269 nm, 0.18, −20.5 mV, and 90.7%, respectively. Furthermore, the NPs have improved stability, skin permeability, and a sustained drug release pattern at pH 6.5 (arthritic joint pH). Moreover, rhodamine‐B loaded nHA‐GLT NPs demonstrates considerably higher cellular uptake by the murine‐derived macrophages than free rhodamine‐B solution. In vitro, cell‐based experiments confirm the good cell biocompatibility with insignificant toxicity. Thus, QbD‐based approach has successfully led to the development of Tofa‐nHA‐GLT NPs with the potential to target inflamed arthritic joint.
Conformal eight‐port dual band antenna with switchable radiation pattern for 5G enabled on‐body wireless communications
Authors: Satpathy Rudra Bhanu , G. P. Ramesh 
Published: October 2023

AbstractA novel conformal quasi‐yagi antenna and its Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) implementations for wireless body area networks (WBAN) application is reported in this letter. The antenna is developed on a 0.05 mm thin polyimide substrate making the antenna more flexible and conformal. The footprint of the proposed antenna is 35 × 35 mm with a dual dipole arm‐like structure making it resonant at 2.45 and 3.5 GHz covering the industrial scientific and medical and 5G bands for WBAN communications. The antenna is excited using a microstrip‐to‐slotline termination suitably terminated by a circular patch to realize the impedance matching. The ground plane is shaped to maintain good isolation between neighboring antennas during the eight‐element MIMO antenna development. The MIMO antennas are arranged circularly to achieve good antenna coverage along the azimuth directions. The antenna generates a tangential radiation pattern to the plane of the human body making it suitable for on‐body wireless communications. The proposed antenna offers a rotatable radiation pattern by appropriately choosing the antenna port of excitation. The proposed MIMO antenna offers an average gain of 4.5 and 5.2 dBi at 2.45 and 3.5 GHz, respectively. The MIMO antenna parameters are evaluated and presented. The calculated MIMO parameters are within the acceptable limits. Thus, the flexible nature with rotatable directional radiation patterns has made this antenna an attractive choice for on‐body communications in WBAN.

Published: October 2023

AbstractIndirect far field (IFF) over‐the‐air (OTA) test could be one of the most applicable test methods for 5G mmWave devices. The compact antenna test range (CATR) method has been introduced to the OTA test by 3GPP. Conventional metallic parabolic reflectors without edge treatment can lead to serious edge diffraction which results in high noise and low accuracy. The serrated reflector improves edge diffraction but performs poorly at low frequencies. Reflector antenna with a resistance frequency selection surface (RFSS) frame is proposed for 5G OTA CATR measurement at millimeter frequency, which collimates spherical incident waves into quasi‐plane waves in a relatively short distance, thus forming a quiet zone (QZ) in which large devices under test can be measured in small chamber. In this paper, the reflector with RFSS is investigated through the numerical and experimental methods, it is found that serrated RFSS frame with low edge diffraction could achieve the excellent QZ, which could be helpful in miniaturing CATR chambers for 5G OTA measurement.
Characteristics of compressive failure behavior of polyacrylonitrile‐based carbon fiber multifilament

AbstractThe deformation characteristics exhibited by the hierarchical structure in composites and their influence on compressive properties are investigated by controlling the deformation of carbon fiber multifilament under axial compressive loading. Our findings reveal that the deformation curve of carbon fiber composite materials under axial compression loads is nonlinear. Specifically, for 12 K high‐strength and medium‐modulus carbon fiber multifilament, when the compression load exceeds approximately 600 N, the buckling of individual fibers leads to shear deformation that damages the interface between the fiber and resin. Consequently, the compressive deformation of the multifilament composites transitions from elastic to plastic deformation. By enhancing the support force exerted by the resin on the multifilament composite and reducing the load span within the range of 2–4 mm, it is possible to effectively minimize or eliminate the overall buckling that may occur during the compression process of the multifilament composite. This results in a higher secant modulus under the same level of deformation. Additionally, it reduces the step difference between the compression and tension regions in the cross‐section of carbon fiber formed by the buckling, while the compression strength of the carbon fiber multifilament increases from 2.32 to 4.78 GPa.Highlights
Characteristics of compression deformation of carbon fiber multifilament.

AbstractBackgroundThe adverse effects of chemotherapy‐induced diabetic peripheral neuropathy (CIDPN) are rather prevalent. There is no known pharmaceutical treatment that can stop CIDPN.ObjectiveThis study compared the effects of cold application and transcutaneous nerve stimulation (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)) on individuals who had undergone mastectomy following CIDPN.Subjects and methodsBetween Mars 2021 and September 2021, a randomised controlled experiment was carried out at physical therapy clinics at the Modern University for Technology and Information. 30 patients were randomly split into two equal groups (A and B). Both lower limbs received cold application (Group A) three times per week for 12 weeks and TENS application (Group B) three times each week for 12 weeks. The Visual Analogue Scale and nerve conduction velocity for the sural nerve were used to assess patients before and after 12 weeks of therapy.ResultsThe results showed that Group A significantly (p < 0.05) decreased pain intensity after treatment by 70.83% compared with Group B by 55.17%. Moreover, Group A improved significantly (p < 0.05) the sural nerve amplitude by 44.12% compared with group B which recorded 26.87%. After treatment, both pain intensity and sural nerve amplitude significantly (p < 0.05) changed between Group A versus Group B.ConclusionCold application has a better effect on pain in CIDPN post mastectomy.

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe green peach aphid,Myzus persicae(Sulzer), is one of the most economically important crop pests worldwide. Insecticide resistance in this pest was first detected over 60 years ago, with resistance inM. persicaenow spanning over 80 active ingredients. Sulfoxaflor is a relatively new insecticide that is primarily used to control sap‐feeding insects. In 2018 resistance to sulfoxaflor was discovered in field populations ofM. persicaein Australia. This study aimed to determine the current distribution and phenotypic levels of sulfoxaflor resistance in Australian clones ofM. persicaeand to investigate how these patterns relate to clonal type.RESULTSFor the first time, we show there is low‐level resistance (8–26‐fold) distributed across Australia, with resistance being detected in aphids collected from approximately 20% of allM. persicaecollected and screened. Furthermore, this study shows sulfoxaflor resistance is found in two M. persicaehaplotypes, providing evidence that there have been multiple independent evolutionary events which have given rise to sulfoxaflor resistance in this species.CONCLUSIONThese findings have important implications for the chemical control ofM. persicaein Australia, especially when considering the broader genetic background of these aphids which are known to harbour a number of other insecticide resistance mechanisms. We recommend continuous monitoring of sulfoxaflor resistance in field populations ofM. persicae(in Australia and elsewhere) and further research into the underlying genetic mechanisms conferring resistance to sulfoxaflor in both clonal haplotypes. © 2023 The Authors.Pest Management Sciencepublished by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.
