Published: November 2023

AbstractDevelopments in data mining techniques have significantly influenced the progress of Intelligent Water Systems (IWSs). Learning about the hydraulic conditions enables the development of increasingly reliable predictive models of water consumption. The non-stationary, non-linear, and inherent stochasticity of water consumption data at the level of a single water meter means that the characteristics of its determinism remain impossible to observe and their burden of randomness creates interpretive difficulties. A deterministic model of water consumption was developed based on data from high temporal resolution water meters. Seven machine learning algorithms were used and compared to build predictive models. In addition, an attempt was made to estimate how many water meters data are needed for the model to bear the hallmarks of determinism. The most accurate model was obtained using Support Vector Regression (8.9%) and the determinism of the model was achieved using time series from eleven water meters of multi-family buildings.

Published: November 2023

AbstractIncreased sugar intake and taste dysfunction have been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic disorder characterized by diarrhea, pain, weight loss and fatigue. It was previously unknown whether taste function changes in mouse models of IBD. Mice consumed dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) during three 7-day cycles to induce chronic colitis. DSS-treated mice displayed signs of disease, including significant weight loss, diarrhea, loss of colon architecture, and inflammation of the colon. After the last DSS cycle we assessed taste function by recording electrophysiological responses from the chorda tympani (CT) nerve, which transmits activity from lingual taste buds to the brain. DSS treatment significantly reduced neural taste responses to natural and artificial sweeteners. Responses to carbohydrate, salt, sour or bitter tastants were unaffected in mice with colitis, but umami responses were modestly elevated. DSS treatment modulated the expression of receptor subunits that transduce sweet and umami stimuli in oral taste buds as a substrate for functional changes. Dysregulated systemic cytokine responses or dysbiosis that occurs during chronic colitis may be upstream from changes in oral taste buds. We demonstrate for the first time that colitis alters taste input to the brain, which could exacerbate malnutrition in IBD patients.

Published: November 2023

AbstractMany Chinese wrinkle studies continue to use non-Chinese scales because few Chinese-based wrinkle scales have been developed. The study aims to develop a crow’s feet grading scale for Chinese individuals. We enrolled 608 healthy Chinese subjects and measured data through the DermaTOP system. We chose exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to reduce the dimensions of the data. A three-factor structure was obtained by using EFA, and it explained a cumulative total of 89.551% of the variance. A computational formula was obtained by calculating the total factor tilt scores and taking the variance contribution rate of three factors as the weight. Based on the computational formula, a grading map was designed and tested. The model validation was conducted using both subjective assessments from the expert panel and objective results from the model calculations. The results showed that our grading scale model is stable. This study developed a Chinese crow’s feet (CCF) grading scale, which included a parameter, a grading map, and literal descriptions. The CCF grading scale is a validated tool for evaluating the effects of cosmetics or specific therapies. More importantly, the CCF scale was developed based on objective data, which may inspire new ideas for wrinkle grading scale development in the future.
scDiffCom: a tool for differential analysis of cell–cell interactions provides a mouse atlas of aging changes in intercellular communication

Published: November 2023

AbstractDysregulation of intercellular communication is a hallmark of aging. To better quantify and explore changes in intercellular communication, we present scDiffCom and scAgeCom. scDiffCom is an R package, relying on approximately 5,000 curated ligand–receptor interactions, that performs differential intercellular communication analysis between two conditions from single-cell transcriptomics data. Built upon scDiffCom, scAgeCom is an atlas of age-related cell–cell communication changes covering 23 mouse tissues from 58 single-cell RNA sequencing datasets from Tabula Muris Senis and the Calico murine aging cell atlas. It offers a comprehensive resource of tissue-specific and sex-specific aging dysregulations and highlights age-related intercellular communication changes widespread across the whole body, such as the upregulation of immune system processes and inflammation, the downregulation of developmental processes, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix organization and the deregulation of lipid metabolism. Our analysis emphasizes the relevance of the specific ligands, receptors and cell types regulating these processes. The atlas is available online (https://scagecom.org).

Abstract
Background
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women and early detection is crucial for its successful treatment. We previously showed that cytological examination combined with genetic analysis using liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples improved the diagnostic sensitivity of EC.

Methods
Among 218 individuals who underwent endometrial screening by LBC, 208 samples were analysed by cancer-panel sequencing. Excluding 13 samples with low sequence coverage, we further analysed 195 samples.

Results
Among the 195 women analysed, 39 and 15 were eventually shown to suffer from malignant endometrial and non-endometrial neoplasms, respectively. Driver mutation(s) were found in nine of the 15 cytology-negative patients with endometrial malignancy, corroborating that combination of cytological and genetic analyses should increase the sensitivity of the diagnosis of malignant endometrial neoplasms. Importantly, driver alterations were found in 32 of 125 women without malignant or premalignant diseases, which raises caution for the interpretation of genetic alterations detected in the endometrial samples. Comparison between the driver mutations in the 32 subjects and those in the 29 endometrial malignancies unveiled that the number of mutations and mutations in PTEN, CTNNB1, and TP53 may be applied for the assessment and prediction of development of EC.

Conclusions
The genetic analysis combined with liquid-based cytology is useful to improve the diagnostic sensitivity of endometrial neoplasms. However, caution must be taken when cancer-associated mutation(s) are detected in the genetic analysis. Further investigation may clarify the risk of malignant endometrial neoplasms in women with driver mutation(s).
Fuel calorific value control process analysis and research based on IGCC power plant
Authors: Ding Jianbo , Chen Zhi , Tao Jiye 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe stability of the equipment has been more and more important with the continuous development of IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) technology. The control of the calorific value of the fuel gas of the gas turbine is one of the most important factors for the stable operation of the gas turbine. There are many variables in the calorific value of IGCC fuels that will cause unstable fuel combustion conditions and low thermal efficiency. In terms of process equipment, process conditions, instrument control calculation, and logic adjustment, this paper studies the automatic adjustment system of the calorific value of syngas for IGCC gas turbine fuel. The calorific value of the syngas can be automatically adjusted under different working conditions of the gas turbine. It helps the stable combustion of the gas turbine to form a perfect, efficient, reliable calorific value control system.
Elastografie von Schilddrüsenknoten
Authors: Petersen Manuela , Klemenz Burkhard , Schenke Simone A. 
Published: November 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die Elastografie ist eine bildgebende Methode, um die Elastizität von Gewebe zu untersuchen. Inzwischen wurden verschiedene Elastografie-Verfahren entwickelt, die nach der Art des angewandten Stimulus unterteilt werden. Prinzipiell ist zwischen der Strain-Elastografie (SE) und Scherwellen-Elastografie (SWE) zu unterscheiden. Beide Methoden bieten neben der konventionellen B-Mode-Sonografie eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Beurteilung von Schilddrüsenerkrankungen.
Ziel der Arbeit Es soll ein Überblick über die Elastografie-Verfahren einschließlich der physikalischen Grundlagen vermittelt werden sowie ihre Bedeutung im Abklärungsalgorithmus von Schilddrüsenknoten.
Material und Methoden Internationale Leitlinien sowie aktuelle Arbeiten zur Elastografie wurden selektiv recherchiert.
Ergebnisse Die Elastografie liefert zusätzliche Informationen gegenüber der konventionellen B-Mode-Sonografie. Der wesentliche physikalische Mechanismus, dem der Gewebekontrast in allen Elastogrammen zugrunde liegt, ist die Änderung der Schersteifigkeit. Neben der qualitativen Erfassung der Elastizität in der SE ist mit der SWE eine Quantifizierung möglich. In der internationalen Literatur wurde die Elastografie als einzelne Methode oder im Vergleich bzw. in Kombination zur konventionellen B-Mode-Sonografie und insbesondere mit der Standardisierung mittels eines Risikostratifizierungssystems (RSS, TIRADS) analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigten sich durchaus kontrovers. Bei Knoten mit unklaren Befunden der Feinnadelbiopsie (Bethesda III/IV) führte die Kombination aus morphologischen Kriterien und Elastografie zu einer Verbesserung der diagnostischen Genauigkeit. Insbesondere der hohe negative prädiktive Wert weicher Knoten stellt einen relevanten Mehrwert dar. Diese Stärke der Methode kann bei der Abklärung von Knoten mit mittlerem Malignomrisiko oder von unklaren FNB-Ergebnissen eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Die Elastografie wurde bisher nur in das (überwiegend durch das EU-TIRADS abgelöste) French-TIRADS integriert. Obwohl das Verfahren im EU-TIRADS als Komplementärmethode Erwähnung findet, wurde eine Integration nicht beschrieben. Limitationen des Verfahrens sind idealisierte Grundannahmen, Hersteller- und Untersucherabhängigkeit sowie Artefakte.
Schlussfolgerung Die Elastografie kann bei der Beurteilung von Schilddrüsenknoten die standardisierten Diagnostikverfahren sinnvoll ergänzen, insbesondere bei Knoten mit mittlerem Malignomrisiko und unklaren Ergebnissen in der Feinnadelpunktion.
Private Equity and Radiology: Productive Partnership or Inherently Misaligned?
Authors: Balesh Elie , Hund Hannah , Keller Eric J. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPrivate equity acquisition of medical groups and health care organizations is becoming increasingly important in medicine and is a trend that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Some question the ethical implications of private equity acquisitions, since the clear goal of such organizations is maximizing profitability, which may or may not be in the best interests of either the patient population or the provider group. This article will describe the role of private equity in the medical marketplace, with a focus on the role of private equity in radiology and interventional radiology specifically. Additionally, this article will explore this growing trend in the radiology marketplace and its anticipated effects upon patient care and professional satisfaction for radiologists.
Health Services Research: A Review for the Interventional Radiologist
Authors: Marchak Katherine , Malavia Mira , Trivedi Premal S. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractHealth services research (HSR) is a multidisciplinary field which studies access to drivers of health care service utilization, the quality and cost of services, and their outcomes on groups of patients. Since its foundations in the 1960s, there has been a large focus on HSR and using large data sets to study real-world care. Because interventional radiology (IR) is a dynamic field with foundations in innovation, research often focuses on small-scale projects. This review will discuss HSR including data sources, focus areas, methodologies, limitations, and opportunities for future directions in IR.
An evolution of the Global Container Shipping Network: port connectivity and trading community structure (2011–2017)
Authors: Jarumaneeroj Pisit , Barnett Lawton Jorge , Svindland Morten 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPort connectivity and trading community structure are two fundamental network characteristics that complement one another in explaining the evolution of maritime transport networks. Although port connectivity has been widely studied in the literature, the investigations on trading community structures are rather limited. To better fill this gap, this paper aims to provide a more complete picture of the Global Container Shipping Network (GCSN)’s evolution, based on our earlier works in MEL. In doing so, the GCSN, representing a snapshot of trade at the end of each quarter, from Q3/2011 to Q3/2017, is first constructed. The connectivity of ports and their respective trading communities are then extracted by the Container Port Connectivity Index and the Louvain algorithm, respectively. With our proposed framework, related players would be able to understand the growth of GCSN, as well as the impacts of maritime occurrences on the network of container shipping. Our computational results indicate that port connectivity and trading community structure gradually evolve according to the economic conditions that change over time and the evolution of GCSN could be well explained by these two explanatory variables. In this regard, ports in East Asia consistently dominate others in terms of both inbound and outbound connectivity, led by Shanghai and other major ports of mainland China. Furthermore, the formation of trading communities largely depends on trading patterns—rather than geographical locations—which is evident from the insolvency and mergers of communities in the North American region right after the expansion of the Panama Canal in 2016.
Fantastical excited state optimized structures and where to find them
Authors: Talbot Justin J. , Arias-Martinez Juan E. , Cotton Stephen J. , Head-Gordon Martin 
Published: November 2023

The quantum chemistry community has developed analytic forces for approximate electronic excited states to enable walking on excited state potential energy surfaces (PES). One can thereby computationally characterize excited state minima and saddle points. Always implicit in using this machinery is the fact that an excited state PES only exists within the realm of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, where the nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom separate. This work demonstrates through ab initio calculations and simple nonadiabatic dynamics that some excited state minimum structures are fantastical: they appear to exist as stable configurations only as a consequence of the PES construct, rather than being physically observable. Each fantastical structure exhibits an unphysically high predicted harmonic frequency and associated force constant. This fact can serve as a valuable diagnostic of when an optimized excited state structure is non-observable. The origin of this phenomenon can be attributed to the coupling between different electronic states. As PESs approach one another, the upper surface can form a minimum that is very close to a near-touching point. The force constant, evaluated at this minimum, relates to the strength of the electronic coupling rather than to any characteristic excited state vibration. Nonadiabatic dynamics results using a Landau-Zener model illustrate that fantastical excited state structures have extremely short lifetimes on the order of a few femtoseconds. Their appearance in a calculation signals the presence of a nearby conical intersection through which the system will rapidly cross to a lower surface.
From classical to cosmopolitan
Authors: George Anna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper addresses the unique challenges a translator would have when translating a text from a postcolonial
country, especially one that has significance amongst the language speakers, such as Cilapattikaram. This paper compares three
English translations of Cilapattikaram, a centuries-old Tamil poem that has an undeniable significance among the Tamil-speaking
population. By analyzing three English translations of Cilapattikaram, done in the 1930s, 1960s, and 1990s, respectively, the
paper examines how translation situated in the political space of decolonization and regional identity affects the text for a
better understanding of the dilemmas of the translator and the effect of translation has on the meanings of the text.
Geist – Gehirn – Mythos
Authors: Jeck Udo Reinhold 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Greek mythology developed ideas about the mythical birth of Athena from the head of Zeus in enigmatic allusions.
Hephaestus performed the obstetrics. This cryptic mythologem, an imaginative structure of strange shape, contains a message from
archaic Greece of unfathomable depth and furthermore has an extensive history of influence. After introductory remarks, the first
part (A) of this paper contains a collection of the most important written sources that convey basic elements of the birth myth of
Athena. Its allegorical interpretation was initially undertaken by Stoic philosophers. Therefore, the second part (B) first
reconstructs the integration and transformation of traditional myths into Stoic philosophy. Because the Stoics used basic aspects
of their psychology for this purpose, investigations into Stoic psychology and localisation theory follow in the third part (C).
Chrysippus used these constructions for an allegorical interpretation of the birth myth of Athena. Therefore, the fourth part (D)
analyses his exegesis of this mythologem, about which extensive information is available, and subsequently Galen’s criticism of
it. The famous philosophising physician moreover developed his own allegorical interpretation of the birth myth of Athena, drawing
on his wealth of knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the brain. The analysis of some significant statements on the
‘cerebral birth of Athena’ then follows in the fifth and last part (E). Documents from late antique literature, from Byzantine
exegetes of Homer, comments from early medieval writers, the reflection of a modern brain anatomist and interpretations of this
myth from the 19th century are discussed. An outlook with information on interdisciplinary brain research concludes the study.
On Thomas de Clivis Sen. and some other late medieval arts masters in
Paris, Prague, and Vienna
Authors: Berger Harald 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper presents new results regarding six Arts Masters of
the Late Middle Ages. First of all, a new search target for the lost work
Logica of Thomas of Cleves is suggested: a question
commentary on Peter of Spain should be searched for. Second, recent research has
shown that John of Hokelem is a prolific author: further findings are added
here. A third notable magister artium Parisiensis of the late
14th century is Christian of Ackoy: in addition to his known works, some new
findings are discussed as possible or even probable works by him. Finally, the
bibliography of an important magister artium Pragensis, Helmold
of Salzwedel, as well as that of two Viennese Arts Masters, Conrad Seglauer and
John Gossolt, is improved. In this way, the paper offers new insights into the
manuscript tradition of late medieval philosophy and provides some corrections
to the standard literature (C. H. Lohr, M. Markowski, and others).
The role of multimodality and intertextuality in accentuating humor in Algerian Hirak’s
posters
Authors: Al-Ali Mohammed Nahar , Djelloul Badra Hadj 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study investigates how the interaction between multimodal modes and intertextual resources accentuates humor
functions. Kress and van Leeuwen’s Visual Grammar (2006) was adopted to analyze a set
of sixty humorous online posters of Hirak’s movements. The results revealed that humor was generated from the
purposeful interplay of various semiotic modes and the reproduction and recontextualization of shared socio-cultural and political
resources. The protesters utilized cartoon characters, religious discourse, folk traditions, and cultural mundane to represent the
authority’s members humorously as lawbreakers, prisoners, robbers, and gangsters. This humorous exposition has placed the
authority members outside the Algerian societal in-group boundaries. In contrast, such a device has enhanced conformity among the
protesters and exhibited their superiority over the ruling outer group. We hope such an investigation will pave the grounds for
further studies and provide insights into multimodal discourse analysis.
The case for broader copulas
Authors: Wilson Daniel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Discovering, comparing, and contrasting natural kinds is critical for scientific progress. It should be the goal
of linguistic inquiry to seek out natural kinds within and between languages. Unfortunately, the most common definition of a
copula is consistently inadequate for categorizing and comparing the data in cross-linguistic research on this topic. The
categories of pseudo-copula and semi-copula have been offered to account for constructions which resemble the copular relationship
between subject and complement, though with added meaning in that relationship. I will argue that copulas, defined more broadly,
function in diverse ways cross-linguistically to instantiate the alterable feature-driven relationship between subject and
complement. This article presents a gradient view of copulas based on a set of binary featural parameters with which a language
may represent with one or more copulas. A formal description of this phenomena is also offered within in the framework of
Distributed Morphology, building on Wilson (2020).
