Due to strong overlap between the triplet emission of DPTA and 1S0 → 3Px absorption of Sb3+, efficient triplet energy transfer occurs between DPTA and Sb and the afterglow persistence time of DIC:x% Sb can be easily tailored through Sb3+ doping.
Fatigue, Executive Functioning, and Quality of Life: Exploring Relationships in Children With Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Riccardi Jessica Salley 
Published: October 2023

Purpose:
The overall purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between fatigue, executive functioning, and quality of life for children with moderate–severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) between 8 and 17 years old.

Method:

Fifteen parents of children with moderate–severe TBI (
M
= 10.06 years old) completed an online survey. Data from the following measures were included in this study's analyses: demographic and injury questions, the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF-2), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Generic Core Scale (PedsQL GCS)–parent report, and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL MFS)–parent report.

Results:
In a multiple regression, fatigue was found to be a significant predictor of quality of life for children with TBI, but executive functioning was not a significant predictor. When examining subdomains of functioning, worse sleep/rest fatigue and emotional executive functioning were most consistently associated with worse physical and psychosocial quality of life.

Conclusions:
The findings of this study suggest that fatigue could be an important contributing factor to reduced quality of life for children with moderate–severe TBI. Medical and educational professionals, including speech-language pathologists, should assess children with TBI for the presence and impact of fatigue. Further research is needed to understand how different subdomains of fatigue might interact with executive functioning to impact quality of life.
Channel estimation with Zadoff–Chu sequences in the presence of phase errors
Authors: Wittig Sven , Peter Michael , Keusgen Wilhelm 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDue to their perfect periodic autocorrelation property, Zadoff–Chu sequences are often used as stimulus signals in the measurement of radio channel responses. In this letter, the cross‐correlation of a linear shift‐invariant system's response to a Zadoff–Chu sequence is derived for the case that a multiplicative perturbation such as phase noise is present at its output. The perturbation signal is shown to incur a spurious discrete Fourier transform, thus degrading the correlation's peak to sidelobe ratio. The implications for the performance limits of channel measurement systems are discussed.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAs satellite imagery technology advances, remote sensing plays an increasingly prominent role in modern society. Nevertheless, the limitations of existing imaging sensors and complex atmospheric conditions constrain the quality of raw remote sensing data, posing challenges for interpretation and noise reduction. Super‐resolution technology focuses on enhancing low‐quality, low‐resolution remote sensing images. In this study, we introduce a method that utilizes a high‐order degradation model to generate low‐resolution remote sensing images. We employ a Generative Adversarial Network with a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM‐GAN) to enhance these images, reducing noise interference and improving texture and feature display. Our approach outperforms other methods on the UCMerced‐LandUse, WHU‐RS19, and AID datasets. Specifically, it raises SSIM index scores to 0.9443, 0.8928, and 0.8633, respectively, exceeding baselines by 1.31%, 0.19%, and 1.30%. The MOS index also improves to 3.98, 3.96, and 3.83, respectively, representing a 2.31%, 8.20%, and 2.96% gain over the baseline. Our reconstruction produces superior results, demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Context.Adaptive optics (AO) is a technique for improving the resolution of ground-based telescopes by correcting optical aberrations due to atmospheric turbulence and the telescope itself in real time. With the rise of giant segmented-mirror telescopes (GSMT), AO is needed more than ever to reach the full potential of these future observatories. One of the main performance drivers of an AO system is the wavefront-sensing operation, consisting of measuring the shape of the optical aberrations described above.Aims.The nonmodulated pyramid wavefront sensor (nPWFS) is a wavefront sensor with high sensitivity, allowing the limits of AO systems to be pushed. The high sensitivity comes at the expense of its dynamic range, which makes it a highly nonlinear sensor. We propose here a novel way to invert nPWFS signals by using the principle of reciprocity of light propagation and the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm.Methods.We tested the performance of this reconstructor in two steps: the technique was first implemented in simulations, where some of its basic properties were studied. Then, the GS reconstructor was tested on the Santa Cruz Extreme Adaptive optics Laboratory (SEAL) testbed, located at the University of California Santa Cruz.Results.This new way to invert the nPWFS measurements allows us to drastically increase the dynamic range of the reconstruction for the nPWFS, pushing the dynamics close to a modulated PWFS. The reconstructor is an iterative algorithm with a high computational burden, which could be an issue for real-time purposes in its current implementation. However, this new reconstructor could still be helpful for various wavefront-control operations. This reconstruction technique has also been successfully tested on the Santa Cruz Extreme AO Laboratory (SEAL) bench, where it is now used as the standard way to invert nPWFS signal.

Authors: Ohmori Ken , Zhang Jian , Betkekar Vipul V. , Suzuki Keisuke 
Published: October 2023

AbstractReported herein is a stereoselective route to anti-β-hydroxy sulfoxides through the reaction of epoxides with sulfenate anions. Extensive experimental/computational studies revealed the dual special roles of MgBr2·OEt2, serving to generate the bromohydrin alkoxide intermediate, which undergoes nucleophilic attack on the prochiral sulfenate in a diastereoselective manner. The present study has opened a general stereoselective synthetic route to anti-β-hydroxy sulfoxides.

Published: October 2023

Objective To examine whether a correlation exists between electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) in the final 120 minute prior to delivery and neonatal cord blood pH among parturients with preeclampsia.
Study Design A retrospective cohort study of parturients with term and near-term preeclampsia who delivered at Soroka University Medical Center between 2013 and 2020 was conducted. EFM tracings, demographical data, and obstetrical outcomes were retrieved from the patients' electronic medical records. Using MATLAB program, area under the curve (AUC) measurements were applied. Correlation was calculated using the Spearman's correlation coefficient.
Results EFM of 88 parturients with preeclampsia were assessed. A significant negative correlation was demonstrated between cord blood pH and the decelerations AUC, total decelerations duration, and deceleration depth. No correlation was demonstrated between area over the curve (acceleration) and cord blood pH. In a multivariate linear regression, total deceleration AUC was found independently negatively associated with cord blood pH (beta = −0.264, p = 0.011) controlling for second stage of labor duration and induction of labor.
Conclusion Among parturients with preeclampsia, EFM indices may assist in the diagnosis of fetal acidemia. Further studies are needed to strengthen and establish the use of electronic EFM in the management of labor and delivery.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) present with a multitude of symptoms that can range from headaches to shoulder pain. Patients frequently present with pain in the ear, dizziness, and vertigo. It is noted that some patients who report TMDs also have a history of sleep disturbances, which is noted in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a reduction in the oropharyngeal airway volume.
Objective To evaluate the airway volume in pre- and posttreatment of TMD with the use of neuromuscular orthotics made with ultra-low frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (ULF-TENS).
Methods A total of 15 patients were evaluated for TMDs using the related criteria. Those included were treated with ULF-TENS with evaluation of the airway volume both pre- and posttreatment using CBCT and the Dolphin 3D volume analysis software.
Results While the symptoms were shown to be significantly reduced in patients who were treated with this particular modality, the airway volume varied in those who reported a reduction after a period of 3 months and those that reported after a period of 6 months.
Conclusion Posttreatment evaluation of the airway should be done after a period of 6 months for a more objective evaluation. A multidisciplinary evaluation of the patient is required in such cases.

Authors: Qayyum Muhammad Umar , Keerio Ahmed Ali , Faisal Muhammad , Rashid Asma , Hussain Raza , Jamshed Arif 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the maxillary alveolus is a relatively rare disease. There is lack of data on this subsite as compared with other sites. The factors that affect survival in cases of maxillary alveolar SCC are tumor stage, local and cervical metastases, histological grading, and the margin status.
Objectives To evaluate the overall survival (OS), the disease free survival (DFS), and the complex interaction and effects of margin status, histological differentiation, habits (such as smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco products), and cervical and distant metastases based on clinicopathological data.
Methods We examined the electronic database at our hospital from 2003 to 2017. We included all cases with a histopathological diagnosis of SCC of the maxillary alveolus. Tumors originating primarily from the maxillary alveolus were included, while those originating from adjacent subsites, like the hard palate, the buccal mucosa or the maxillary sinus were excluded. We also excluded all the patients who were not operated on with a curative intent.
Results More than half of the patients had stage-IV tumors at the time of presentation, while only one fourth of them had nodal metastasis. The rate of recurrence increased in cases of primary tumors in advanced stages and the degree of histological differentiation. The 2-year and 5-year OS rates were of 54.5% (18 patients) and 30.3% (10 patients) respectively.
Conclusion Primary tumors in advanced stages, histological grade, and presence of nodal metastasis are poor prognostic markers in terms of long-term survival.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction Sensory deficits of the upper airways are common in people with Parkinson disease. Compounded by considerable deterioration of the swallowing function, these deficits may contribute to the elevated rates of morbidity and mortality among this population.
Objective To examine the sensitivity of the vocal tracts of people with Parkinson disease using nasal videoendoscopy and to compare the results with paired controls.
Methods The present was a prospective, observational, case-control study. Sensitivity assessments were conducted in a sample of 24 people divided into 2 groups: one group of 12 patients with Parkinson's disease, and a control group with 12 healthy subjects. The study group also underwent a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and answered the Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SQD) to detect dysphagia.
Results There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the region of the arytenoid cartilages, showing that sensitivity was better preserved among the control group, and that sensitivity deficits were present in the study group. The qualitative results showed sensorial impairment in the study group than in the control group regarding the base of the tongue, the vestibular folds, and the vocal folds. The study group showed self-awareness regarding the deficits in the swallowing function, but there was no statistically significant association between swallowing function deficits and deterioration of sensorial function among them.
Conclusions Sensorial deficits were present in the study group when compared to the healthy subjects, mainly in the qualitative evaluation.
Long-term Recovery Patterns of Olfactory Function after Trans-sphenoidal Approach with Nasoseptal Flap Elevation
Authors: Koo Bon Min , Jeong Jong In 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction Nasoseptal flap is widely used in reconstruction of the skull base to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage after surgery for skull base lesions. There has been a debate on whether more severe olfactory dysfunction occurs after nasoseptal flap elevation than the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach.
Objective To compare the long-term recovery patterns associated with nasoseptal flap and the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach.
Methods The subjects were divided into the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach group and the nasoseptal flap elevation group. We followed up self-reported olfactory score using the visual analogue scale and threshold discrimination identification (TDI) score of the Korean Version of the Sniffin Stick test II for 12 months, with olfactory training.
Results The study included 31 patients who underwent the trans-sphenoidal approach. Compared with preoperative status, the mean visual analogue scale and TDI scores in the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach group recovered 2 months postoperatively, while in the nasoseptal flap elevation group the visual analogue scale and TDI scores recovered 6 months and 3 months after surgery, respectively. Twelve months after surgery, the visual analogue scale and TDI scores in the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach group were 9.3 ± 0.5 and 28.5 ± 4.3, while those from the nasoseptal flap elevation group were 8.9 ± 1.5 and 27.2 ± 4.7 (p = 0.326; 0.473). Only one of the patients in the nasoseptal flap elevation group had permanent olfactory dysfunction.
Conclusion The olfactory function recovered more gradually in the nasoseptal flap elevation group than in the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach group, but there was no difference between the two groups after 6 months.
Effects of Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Injury on Brain Sterol Synthesis and Metabolism
Authors: Dave Amanda M. , Porter Ned A. , Korade Zeljka , Peeples Eric S. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) results from disruptions to blood supply and oxygen in the perinatal brain. The goal of this study was to measure brain sterol metabolites and plasma oxysterols after injury in a neonatal HIBI mouse model to assess for potential therapeutic targets in the brain biochemistry as well as potential circulating diagnostic biomarkers.
Methods Postnatal day 9 CD1-IGS mouse pups were randomized to HIBI induced by carotid artery ligation followed by 30 minutes at 8% oxygen or to sham surgery and normoxia. Brain tissue was collected for sterol analysis by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Plasma was collected for oxysterol analysis by LC–MS/MS.
Results There were minimal changes in brain sterol concentrations in the first 72 hours after HIBI. In severely injured brains, there was a significant increase in desmosterol, 7-DHC, 8-DHC, and cholesterol 24 hours after injury in the ipsilateral tissue. Lanosterol, 24-dehydrolathosterol, and 14-dehydrozymostenol decreased in plasma 24 hours after injury. Severe neonatal HIBI was associated with increased cholesterol and sterol precursors in the cortex at 24 hours after injury.
Conclusions Differences in plasma oxysterols were seen at 24 hours but were not present at 30 minutes after injury, suggesting that these sterol intermediates would be of little value as early diagnostic biomarkers.
Evaluating stakeholders in information for parents of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing
Authors: Kecman Emily , Knox John S. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Parents of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HH) need clear and complete information about early
intervention options. There is a body of research on parents’ reactions to, and perceptions of, information they encountered
following their child’s diagnosis, but little research examining the information itself. This paper reports on a research project
examining the evaluative meanings of information on the websites of the two early intervention providers in NSW, Australia. Both
providers describe their services as “family-centered” on their websites. The appraisal framework from systemic functional
linguistics was used to analyze each website. Specifically, evaluations regarding the ‘capacity’ of providers and D/HH children
are reported here. Providers are consistently evaluated as altruistic and expert, while D/HH children are consistently evaluated
as requiring the specific kind of intervention program offered by these organizations in order to live a “normal” or “successful”
life. Coupled with the lack of information about alternative approaches to early intervention, the information provided appears to
be inconsistent with principles of family-centered intervention.
The use and perception of question tags in Trinidadian English
Authors: Westphal Michael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This study presents an analysis of the use and perception of variant question tags and the seven invariant forms eh, ent, nah, OK, not so, right, and you know in Trinidadian English. The analysis of use is based on four dialogue text types from the Trinidad and Tobago component of the International Corpus of English and takes a variationist approach. The analysis of the perception is based on a survey that combines a multiple-choice test, where participants were presented with different dialogue scenarios and had to select the form they found most appropriate, and an indirect language attitude test, in which participants rated the use of the eight question tags on attitudinal scales and added open comments. The usage and perception profiles of the eight forms largely overlap but there are marked differences for individual forms.
Speech in the British Hansard
Authors: Alexander Marc 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides a detailed textual and linguistic
history of Hansard, the records of debates of the British parliament from
1803 to the present, on which the Hansard Corpus is based. It analyses how
parliamentary speech is recorded and presented across that period, examining
the changes in direct and indirect speech types arising from commercial
factors, pressure from parliament, editorial practice, and the availability
and quality of source material. The chapter concludes with a breakdown, for
each period of Hansard’s history, of what the data for that period does and
does not represent.
