Abstract
Objectives The etiologies of nonsyndromic cleft lips with or without palate (NS CL/P) are multifactorial, which include consanguineous marriages. The incidence of NS CL/P is relatively high in Indonesia notably in one of Indonesia's tribes whose members frequently marry close cousins. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analysis consanguinity as risk factor of NS CL/P in Sasak tribe, East Lombok, Indonesia
Materials and Methods An observational analysis was made of a collected database of NS CL/P patients treated in social services in regency hospital of Dr. Soejono Selong, East Lombok, Indonesia. Demographic data such as age, gender, address (urban/rural), parent's education, presence or absence of consanguinity, type of clefts, and a three-generation pedigree were collected by interview and hospital medical record. Before analysis, patient information was anonymized and deidentified. From 2016 to 2018, each of 100 cleft and normal subjects with their Sasak parent were audited. The risk factors were analyzed statistically using odds ratio (OR) and chi-squared test.
Results Consanguineous marriages identified 54 cases (54%), and 10 cases (10%) out of a total each 100 NS CL/P and controls, respectively. The majority of consanguinity (53.7%) was discovered in marriages between first cousins. NS CL/P cases were statistically linked (p = 0.00) with consanguineous marriages (OR: 10; 95% confidence interval: 1.6–3.1); in which the most prevalent case is unilateral cleft lips.
Conclusion Consanguineous marriage increases the risk of NS CL/P in Sasak tribe, East Lombok, Indonesia. The development of strategies to educate communities on the impacts of culture-consanguineous marriage is required. The genetic inheritance from their ancestor may be responsible for the increased incidence of NS CL/P.

Abstract
Background Several research studies have demonstrated the utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in detecting middle ear cholesteatomas, especially with the non-echoplanar imaging (non-EPI) DWI technique. REadout Segmentation Of Long Variable Echo trains (RESOLVE), a multishot-EPI DWI, has better spatial resolution at a thinner section acquisition with reduced image distortion compared to the single-shot-EPI DWI technique.
Purpose In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic ability of RESOLVE -DWI in middle ear cholesteatomas with surgical and histopathological support.
Patients and Methods Fifty patients with clinical suspicion of primary cholesteatoma or postoperative recurrence were subjected to routine sequences and RESOLVE-DWI on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thirty-eight patients had unilateral disease, while 12 patients had bilateral disease. The bilateral temporal bones of 50 patients were evaluated on MRI. The results attained by RESOLVE-DWI were correlated with intraoperative and histopathological findings.
Results RESOLVE-DWI truly detected 55 of the 58 surgically proven cholesteatomas. RESOLVE-DWI could not detect three cholesteatoma lesions due to their small size and falsely diagnosed one case each of impacted wax and non-cholesteatomatous otitis media as cholesteatoma. With a 95% confidence interval, RESOLVE-DWI showed 94.8% sensitivity, 95.2% specificity, 96% positive predictive value, 93% negative predictive value, and 95% diagnostic accuracy in cholesteatoma detection.
Conclusion RESOLVE-DWI is a sensitive and specific DWI technique for detecting middle ear cholesteatoma. However, RESOLVE-DWI has limitations in the diagnosis of small (<3 mm) cholesteatomas.

Popliteal Artery-Related Pathologies in Athletes—A Primer for Musculoskeletal Radiologists
Authors: Thaker Siddharth , Gupta Harun , Beh Joey , Kirwadi Anand , Chari Basavaraj 
Published: November 2023

AbstractVascular complications in athletes are common and mimic musculoskeletal injuries such as muscle sprains, fractures, and cartilage abnormalities. They include traumatic vascular injuries and more subtle pathologies like entrapment syndromes, pseudoaneurysms, arterial occlusions, and venous thrombosis. Such vascular complications may be occult on imaging and can be difficult for a musculoskeletal radiologist to diagnose, resulting in a lack of timely diagnosis and potentially limb-threatening consequences. Although the final diagnosis may require multidisciplinary input from orthopaedic, sports and exercise medicine, and vascular and interventional radiology inputs, a musculoskeletal radiologist with prior knowledge of such conditions can be the first to diagnose such conditions aiding the athlete's performance. A musculoskeletal radiologist should pay due attention to anatomical courses of vascular channels and look for potential causes of vascular compression, aberrant myotendinous bands, accessory muscles, etc., before concluding a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as normal. Doppler ultrasound, CT, or MR angiography are commonly employed techniques for primary evaluation, whereas digital subtraction angiography is generally reserved for troubleshooting as advanced dynamic imaging.
Single-item measures of happiness and life satisfaction: the issue of cross-country invariance of popular general well-being measures
Authors: Raudenská Petra 
Published: November 2023

AbstractSingle-item measures of general well-being are increasingly being analysed cross-culturally but without clear evidence of comparability level attainment. The primary objective of this study is to examine the cross-country measurement invariance of the two most common single-item measures—life satisfaction and happiness—across a large number of countries. For this purpose, 45 data sources from large-scale sample surveys conducted between 1976 and 2018 were used. This study presented a novel technique for examining the measurement invariance of individual items and used Bayesian approximation to evaluate the extent of the non-invariance of certain items across nations. The findings revealed that the happiness item’s factor loadings and intercepts deviated less, indicating comparability across more countries than the life satisfaction item. It is possible that the construct of happiness is more universally applicable across cultures than that of life satisfaction. However, the item parameters of the survey items varied among several countries in each round of the program, indicating that the observed score means could only be compared between a few participating countries.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe advancements in digital technologies, especially for mobile apps, enabled simplified data collection methods. Consequently, through Citizen Science, numerous opportunities arose for citizens to become contributors and not just beneficiaries of scientific research. Furthermore, through such engagement, citizens can participate in decision-making processes at different spatial scales, getting closer to the civic aspiration of a digital agora. This paper offers a systematic review of 303 studies on such initiatives to outline the potential of mobile apps in Citizen Science. Based distinctly on their specificities and the needs they address, three content categories were highlighted: a) monitoring tools, b) validation of techniques and methods to improve mobile technologies for Citizen Science, and c) participatory approaches of citizens employing mobile apps. The review also showed a susceptibility of several domains of activity towards Citizen Science, such as monitoring biodiversity and reconnecting people with nature, environmental risk monitoring or improving well-being. The findings highlight future research potential in addressing topics such as new technologies to increase Citizen Science performance and its contributions to Open Science, as well as diversification and enhancement of citizen scientists’ contributions.

Authors: Hwang Y M , Tsui H S R , Tsai S N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the plane strain compression of multi-layers metal, each layer of metal shows a different degree of deformation due to the differences in material properties. Also, the deformation in different positions of a metal layer is always inhomogeneous. In this study, the effects of material ratios, friction between the metal layers and the amount of compression on the deformation behaviors of a bi-layer metal strip under plane strain compression are investigated. 2D plane strain finite element simulation models of AISI-1008/AL6061-T6 bi-layer metal strips are used. The results indicate that the strips show different deformation behaviors under different conditions, and non-smooth interfaces caused by the inhomogeneous material flow during the deformation process are detected in most cases.

Abstract
This study assuming constant shear friction adopts FEM simulation and the optimization to investigate into extrusion of bi-metal rod which consisted of Aluminum alloy (Core) and Copper alloy (Sleeve) with a rotating die taking tonto account the interface at bi-metal rod under the bonding situation. The forming characteristics, e.g. the effective stress, the effective strain, the velocity field, the extrusion force, the extrusion torque, and die stress can be gained by using FEM commercial software. The FEM optimization for extrusion force combines Taguchi method to establish the L934 orthogonal table that includes four control factors which are rotating angular velocity (ω), frictional factor at the interface of sleeve and die (m1), half die angle (α°), and inner die filet (R). The ranking of influence factors and the optimization combination can be obtained from FEM simulation to provide the reference to the industries.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the marine electric propulsion system, the motor is an important part to ensure safe navigation, which should have the characteristics of low noise, low vibration, high performance protection level, etc. The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has the advantages of rapid dynamic response, stable operation, strong overload capacity, high efficiency and small size, which is especially suitable for electric propulsion systems in marine environments. According to the performance requirements of marine motors and the permanent magnet synchronous motor structural characteristics, an electromagnetic design and simulation of a 120kW marine permanent magnet synchronous motor is completed in this paper. Meanwhile, the stator skewed slot is used to reduce the amplitude of harmonic distortion and the additional torque caused by tooth harmonic. At same time, the rotor structure with U-shaped magnetic steel groove is used to enhance the density of power and overload capacity of the motor, expand the scope of motor constant power operation effectively. A prototype with high efficiency, reliability and a small volume has been developed. According to the simulation results, the marine permanent magnet synchronous motor designed in this paper fully meets the design requirements.
A single-phase full-bridge soft-switching inverter circuit with an auxiliary resonant circuit
Authors: Yang C C , Zeng T H , Huang C W , Hsu W T 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A new topological structure is proposed in this article for the traditional single-phase full-bridge inverter circuit by adding an auxiliary synchronizing resonant circuit. Without extra switching transistors, the complexity of the control circuit is simplified while enabling zero voltage switching (ZVS) functionality. The significance of this proposed topology is that the switching transistors of all bridge arms are sharing one common synchronizing unit which is constructed with an absorbing inductor and capacitor. In this way, the added-on components can be substantially reduced for the main switching transistor circuit. By utilizing a big-volume capacitor as the constant voltage source, the sourceless energy feedback unit can minimize the switching losses. In the meantime, the proportional-resonant feedback circuit can modify the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) duty ratio to stabilize the output current. In the PSIM power electronic simulation software environment, the operation of the soft-switching inverter circuit is analyzed to demonstrate our proposed topology can reduce the on-off switching losses as expected for the switching transistors of the soft-switching inverter circuit.

Authors: Chen D C , You C S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The study uses rigid-plastic finite element (FE) DEFORM TM 3D software to investigate the plastic deformation behaviour of spiral flat bottom engraving. The finite element analysis assumes that the spiral flat bottom is a rigid body. During the engraving process, the deformation causes an increase in temperature and wear inside the blank. The FE analyses investigate the effects of cutting speed, depth of cut, and the feed of the workpiece on the damage, effective strain, stress, temperature, and wear induced within the workpiece. The simulation results confirm the suitability of the DEFORM TM 3D software for modelling the spiral flat bottom engraving. Comparisons of engraving of spiral flat bottom with clockwise and counter-clockwise have been performed. The analysis of following stress-strain simulation has been predicted by machine learning in this study. Eventually, the experiment of spiral flat bottom engraving is used.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
This research describes developing a Fuzzy Logic based weight prediction system (FL-eWPS) during the process of injection molding. The main purpose is to apply Fuzzy Logic to predict defects during injection molding operations while processing parameters, such as shot size, barrel temperature, cooling time, and holding pressure. The parameters are varied within a shorter range when using Delrin 511 DP plastic from DuPont Engineering Polymers. eDART data logging system was used for real-time data collection for the different parameters by using the sensors during the injection filling stages. A Fuzzy Logic reasoning algorithm was applied to gain the threshold values of weight prediction with various processing parameter settings. During the injection molding process, the FL-eWPS system was shown to predict weight with 99% accuracy.

Abstract
Endothelial cells of the aorta are an excellent model system for studying inflammatory responses, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, blood clotting, vascular contraction, and vasodilation. Cell counting is necessary when culturing human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) in order to determine cell concentration and quantity, as well as to assess cell viability and proliferation. Here, a machine learning-based image recognition system was developed to create a cell counter. The system’s hardware includes a digital microscope, Raspberry Pi, and operating screen. Image capture, image processing, machine learning, and computer recognition are utilized in the processing techniques. The processing steps consist of training and testing stages. In the training stage, five HAECs images were selected as training samples while the remaining HAECs images were used as testing samples. Positive and negative samples were labeled using LabelImg and used to generate training images for the classifier program. The classifier program was trained using the built-in Adaboost and LBP models in Opencv to create a HAECs classifier. The system achieved a recognition rate of 95% for HAECs and 98% for colon cells in practical tests, demonstrating that this technology can be used as a tool for cell counting and can replace expensive and potentially inaccurate commercial cell counting software, making cell counting a more practical technique.

Authors: Huang X , Liu C C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The traditional screw production equipment is very large, and many procedures need manual operation, which has a certain influence on the production of screws. In order to improvement the production efficiency, a new type of “Intelligent Thread Rolling System” is to be designed for the requirement. In this system, it is necessary to provide and transmit the relevant data for screw manufacturing, especially in the process of thread rolling. The thread plate design changes the traditional flat shape to become the curved shape. This paper has used the numerical model of the finite element method to calculate and simulate thread rolling process of thread plate of curved shape to understand the applicability. The results of relevant parameters on the thread rolling are obtained to compare with experimental data of Intelligent Thread Rolling System. Under certain test condition, the screw embryonal material can produce threads and cut off tails, but the created thread shape and depth are non-standard. The results are consistent with experimental data. The main reason is that the thread surface of thread plates of curved shape has not been redesigned. Due to the comparison and verification, the numerical parameters can be provided for the actual thread rolling operation of the ITRS. This is very helpful for the completion of the ITRS development.

Abstract
Hydrogen energy as an excellent substitute for traditional fossil fuels, has received widespread attention. There is an urgent need to find an efficient and environmentally friendly electrocatalyst to increase hydrogen production. In this study, the Ga2XY (X, Y=O, S, Se, Te, X≠Y) system of group III-VI compounds was constructed, and the HER catalytic properties of its vacancy structure were investigated based on first principles. The research results show that all the structures are stable, and the introduction of O vacancy and Ga vacancy can significantly improve the structure’s Gibbs free energy (ΔGH). When the H atom is adsorbed on the bottom Ga atom, the HER with Ga2OSe structure containing outer Ga vacancy is very excellent, and its ΔGH can reach 0.07 eV, which is significantly superior to the currently recognized best HER catalyst Pt. Our research provides a new strategy for the design of HER electrocatalysts and a new method for the regulation of Ga2XY monolayers.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Alumina-forming Austenitic (AFA) steel is one of the candidate corrosion-resistant structural materials for lead-cooled fast reactors, exhibiting excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance. However, its corrosion mechanisms in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) environment at the design operating temperature of lead-cooled fast reactors have not been fully elucidated. In this study, AFA steel was immersed in static LBE with saturated oxygen at 500 °C for 3000 hours. The corrosion behavior of AFA samples was obtained by analyzing the morphology of corrosion cross section and the distribution of elements. The results showed that the AFA steel did not form an oxide film that could effectively resist LBE. Dissolution corrosion of the matrix becomes more severe the longer the exposure time. When the NiAl phase in the matrix is located at the surface, oxide nodules are generated. It has a double-layer oxide structure, which has better resistance to LBE corrosion. Nb undergoes oxidative rupture and has a tendency to detach from the surface of the substrate when it is located on the surface. Cracks occur on the surface of the matrix after 3000 hours of corrosion, and LBE penetrates into the matrix along the cracks.
