Published: July 2023

AbstractThe need for inexpensive and ecologically sustainable energy storage technologies is rising rapidly along with the severity of the world's environmental challenges as well as with the rising demand for portable electronics and hybrid vehicles. Supercapacitors have drawn a lot of attentions lately in this regard because of their ultrahigh power density, outstanding electrochemical stability, and environmental friendliness. Due to various advantages, carbon materials are the choice of designer for developing commercial electrodes for various applications including devising supercapacitors. Two‐dimensional (2D) carbon nanosheets (CNSs) with a large surface area and excellent electronic transport properties have fired up the interest of researchers due to their unique properties and potential applications in energy storage. Such engineered 2D porous CNS may significantly improve the energy storage performance of supercapacitor by enabling fast ion transport and charge transfer kinetics. This article summarizes the most recent and significant advances in the area of activated, porous, graphene‐based various CNSs and their composites with a special focus on their use as supercapacitor electrodes. A succinct overview about their syntheses and key characterizations regarding their different structural aspects have been discussed. The present challenges and prospects in using CNS in supercapacitor applications are highlighted.

AbstractAlthough the height of the proliferating layer that was suppressed in the growth plate has been recognized as an adverse effect of cisplatin in pediatric cancer survivors, the detailed pathological mechanism has not been elucidated. Sirtuin‐1 (SIRT1) has been reported as an essential modulator of cartilage homeostasis, but its role in cisplatin‐induced damage of chondrocytes remains unclear. In this study, we examined how cisplatin affected the expression of SIRT1 and cell viability. Next, we showed downregulation of SIRT1 after cisplatin treatment resulted in suppression of Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma coactivator (PGC‐1α), leading to inhibition of Nrf2 nuclear translocation and subsequently decreased Heme oxygenase‐1(HO‐1) and NAD(P)H Quinone Dehydrogenase 1(NQO‐1) expression. Blockage of the SIRT1/ PGC‐1α axis not only increased oxidative stress with lower antioxidant SOD and GSH, but also contributed to mitochondrial dysfunction evidenced by the collapse of membrane potential and repression of mitochondrial DNA copy number and ATP. We also found that Cisplatin up‐regulated the p38 phosphorylation, pro‐inflammatory events and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in chondrocytes through the SIRT1‐modulated antioxidant manner. Collectively, our findings suggest that preservation of SIRT1 in chondrocytes may be a potential target to ameliorate growth plate dysfunction for cisplatin‐receiving pediatric cancer survivors.
Meaningful benefit and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in Alzheimer's disease: Open peer commentary
Authors: Cummings Jeffrey 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionApproval of the anti‐amyloid monoclonal antibodies has stimulated an important discussion of the value to be placed on the magnitude of slowing achieved by treatment compared to placebo.MethodsThe minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was reviewed in the context of other measures and analyses that provide perspective on the meaningfulness of treatment responses.ResultsTheMCID is a clinician‐anchored approach to making this determination. The MCID applies best to symptomatic therapies for which the drug–placebo difference remains constant. Disease‐modifying therapies produce a progressive divergence of drug and placebo trajectories; early in the course the MCID would not be achieved, later the MCID will be achieved, and with continuing therapy the MCID will be exceeded. Clinicians are not the only stakeholders involved in determining the value proposition of slowing disease progression. Patient‐reported outcomes and caregiver‐related measures offer important complementary insights. Analytic approaches also widen the perspective on the observed drug–placebo differences. Risk ratios, numbers needed to treat versus number needed to harm, time‐to‐event analyses, and predictive benefits based on biomarkers all add depth to the discussion.DiscussionMultiple stakeholder perspectives are needed to determine the importance to be attributed to the therapeutic changes observed with monoclonal antibody therapies and other emerging treatments.

Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundBiosecurity‐based interventions are important health strategies for the control of infectious disease and improve productivity in broiler. There are various reasons why broilers die at the early stages of production; however, biosecurity measures are crucial in reducing the risk of disease prevalence and can therefore affect the overall deaths in a flock for a specific period (crude mortality rate [CMR]).ObjectivesThis study was designed to determine the current biosecurity situation on small‐scale broiler farms in Bangladesh and its relationship to the CMR during the early stages of production.MethodsA cross‐sectional observational study was conducted on small‐scale broiler farms (N = 57) located in peri‐urban areas of Chattogram and Pabna districts of Bangladesh. Descriptive and predictive statistical analyses were performed to estimate the frequency of categorical variables and their effect on CMR.ResultsThe findings indicated that around 80% of small‐scale broiler farms lacked adequate biosecurity measures. Both on day 1 (p = 0.012) and on days 2–14 (p = 0.003), flocks with inadequate biosecurity had considerably higher median CMRs. Farms that were near the neighbourhood used wood shavings as bedding, offered tube well/shallow well or supply line water, maintained a brief empty period (≤5 days) before introducing new flocks and began using antibiotics on day 1 all had significantly higher CMR at both days 1 and 2–14.ConclusionsThe findings point to the necessity of implementing stringent biosecurity measures in broiler production in locations where there is a shortage, which can lower the burden of arbitrary antibiotic usage and will lower total production costs due to crude mortality and management‐related issues.

Published: July 2023

AbstractTo achieve scientific progress in terms of building a cumulative body of knowledge, careful attention to benchmarking is of the utmost importance, requiring that proposals of new methods are extensively and carefully compared with their best predecessors, and existing methods subjected to neutral comparison studies. Answers to benchmarking questions should be evidence‐based, with the relevant evidence being collected through well‐thought‐out procedures, in reproducible and replicable ways. In the present paper, we review good research practices in benchmarking from the perspective of the area of cluster analysis. Discussion is given to the theoretical, conceptual underpinnings of benchmarking based on simulated and empirical data in this context. Subsequently, the practicalities of how to address benchmarking questions in clustering are dealt with, and foundational recommendations are made based on existing literature.This article is categorized under:

Published: July 2023

AbstractWe study the phase retrieval property for orbits of general irreducible representations of nilpotent groups, for the classes of simply connected Lie groups, and for finite groups. We prove by induction that in the Lie group case, all irreducible representations do phase retrieval. For the finite group case, we mostly focus on p-groups. Here our main result states that every irreducible representation of an arbitrary p-group with exponent p and size $$\le p^{2+p/2}$$

Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungRoboterassistenzsysteme werden in der Viszeralchirurgie seit einigen Jahren zunehmend häufiger eingesetzt. Entsprechend ist auch die Zahl der in Deutschland installierten Systeme rapide gestiegen. Wurden 2018 rund 100 Roboterassistenzsysteme in deutschen Kliniken genutzt, waren es 2022 bereits mehr als 200. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand und Trends der viszeralchirurgischen Roboterchirurgie in Deutschland darzustellen. Hierzu wurden Daten des StuDoQ|Robotik-Registers analysiert. Des Weiteren erfolgte eine deskriptive Analyse konkomitierender DRG-Daten über das Bundesstatistikamt (Destatis), um die Repräsentativität der StuDoQ|Robotik-Registerdaten besser abschätzen zu können. In beiden Datensätzen nahm die jährliche Zahl an roboterassistierten viszeralchirurgischen Eingriffen in Deutschland stetig zu. Im Vergleich zur DRG-Statistik waren im StuDoQ|Robotik-Register je nach Eingriffsart nur 3,7 % bis maximal 36,7 % aller durchgeführten roboterassistierten Eingriffe dokumentiert. Kolorektale Resektionen waren die häufigsten roboterassistierten Eingriffe (StuDoQ: 32,5 % und 36,7 % vs. DRG-Statistik: 24,2 % und 29,7 %) und wiesen beispielsweise niedrige Mortalitätsraten (StuDoQ: 1 % und 1 % vs. DRG-Statistik: 2,3 % und 1,3 %) auf. Aufgrund der niedrigen Erfassungsquoten roboterassistierter Ösophagus‑, Magen‑, Pankreas- und Lebereingriffe konnten für diese Bereiche keine validen Aussagen aus den StuDoQ-Daten abgeleitet werden. Mit den aktuellen Erfassungsquoten ist die Aussagekraft des StuDoQ|Robotik-Registers für einige Eingriffsarten erheblich einschränkt. In Zukunft sollten daher Wege bzw. Maßnahmen eruiert werden, die zu einer deutlichen Erhöhung der Erfassungsquoten führen.
Inferring material properties from FRP processes via sim-to-real learning
Authors: Stieber Simon , Schröter Niklas , Fauster Ewald , Bender Marcel , Schiendorfer Alexander , Reif Wolfgang 
Published: July 2023

AbstractFiber reinforced polymers (FRP) provide favorable properties such as weight-specific strength and stiffness that are central for certain industries, such as aerospace or automotive manufacturing. Liquid composite molding (LCM) is a family of often employed, inexpensive, out-of-autoclave manufacturing techniques. Among them, resin transfer molding (RTM), offers a high degree of automation. Herein, textile preforms are saturated by a fluid polymer matrix in a closed mold.Both impregnation quality and level of fiber volume content are of crucial importance for the final part quality. We propose to simultaneously learn three major textile properties (fiber volume content and permeability in X and Y direction) presented as a three-dimensional map based on a sequence of camera images acquired in flow experiments and compare CNNs, ConvLSTMs, and Transformers. Moreover, we show how simulation-to-real transfer learning can improve a digital twin in FRP manufacturing, compared to simulation-only models and models based on sparse real data. The overall best metrics are: IOU 0.5031 and Accuracy 95.929 %, obtained by pretrained transformer models.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Purpose
This study was initiated to analyze the outcome after distal femoral replacement (DFR) for periprosthetic distal femoral fractures (PDFF).

Methods
Data from the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD) were analyzed. A total of 626 patients could be identified with a DFR for PDFF. Mean age was 78.8 years, and 84.2% were female. Revisions and mortality were analyzed and compared with patient groups with a similar procedure (revision total knee arthroplasty) or similar general condition (fracture total hip arthroplasty, hip hemiarthroplasty). Matched-pair-analyses were performed.

Results
Within one year after surgery, 13.2% of the patients had died and further 9.4% were revised. Within four years, 32.7% had died and 19.7% were revised. Revisions were nearly twice as high as in the comparison groups. Periprosthetic infection (PJI) was the most frequent cause for revision, resulting in a PJI rate of 12.8%, which was lower in the comparison groups. Mortality after DFR was as similar high as after fracture hip arthroplasty.

Conclusion
PDFF are a serious injury, and the necessary surgical treatment has a high risk of complications. Every third patient after DFR for PDFF had died and every fifth patient needed revision within 4 years after surgery. Efforts should be undertaken to provide optimal treatment to these high-risk patients to reduce unfavorable outcomes.

Level of evidence
III.

Registration of clinical trials
As this is a registry-derived study of data of the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD), no registration was performed.
On Flamant–Boussinesq problem with dynamical flexoelectric effect and micro-inertia effect in dielectrics subjected to dynamical wave loading
Authors: El-Dhaba A. R. , Ghaleb A. F. , Hilal Mohamed I. M. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis work investigates the Flamant–Boussinesq problem for a half-space made of a homogeneous and isotropic dielectric material. The dynamical flexoelectric effect and the dynamical flexocoupling between displacement and polarization, due to mechanical and electrical states, are taken in consideration. The mechanical loading is taken as a wave of a decaying behavior in time at the surface of a half-space, while the electric potential is considered in an open circuit with no charge on the terminals. The first strain gradient theory of elasticity is used as a mathematical frame in the problem formulation. The equation of motion for the representative volume element additionally accounts for the micro-inertia effect because of the intrinsic structure of the dielectrics at the nanoscale. The governing equations and the boundary conditions for homogeneous, isotropic dielectric material are presented with reference to previous work, using a variational technique for internal energies and external forces. An analytical harmonic wave solution is obtained for the problem under consideration, involving different coupling parameters arising from the mechanical and electrical loadings. The results are analyzed and discussed. The solutions for the quantities of practical interest are represented graphically with different choices of material parameters and flexocoupling parameters. The solution is finite everywhere. The existing damping phenomenon arises, not only from the various physical parameters in the governing field equations as shown in the figures, but also through the boundary conditions.
Evaluation and comparison of various methods used for aggregates investigations

Published: July 2023

AbstractNatural aggregates from sedimentary rock, like limestone and dolomite, are of a great use in various practical applications. To evaluate their quality, among others, the test of methylene blue adsorption (MB value) using a filter paper is recommended. However, one can consider it as a rough test. In this paper we wished to evaluate its quality by comparison with a more precise spectrophotometric method, i.e., to perform adsorption isotherms of methylene blue from aqueous solutions, as well as determine other parameters characterizing the aggregates. For this purpose, methylene blue adsorption on samples of limestone and dolomite natural aggregates having various grain sizes were studied to assess quality (fine particles content) of the manufactured aggregates. To determine the amount of adsorbed dye two methods were used: the methylene blue stain test and the dye adsorption from its solutions at various concentrations under static conditions. From the linear form of Langmuir adsorption isotherms of methylene blue, the monolayer capacity was determined, and then the specific surface areas of all fractions of aggregates. The structural (N2adsorption/desorption), textural (SEM/EDS) and crystallographic structure of the aggregates were studied. It was determined that the MB values for 0–2 andMBFfor 0–0.125 mm aggregates fractions fulfill the criteria set out in the specifications required for pavement construction. A very good repeatability of the adsorbed amount of methylene blue on the dolomite and limestone aggregates were obtained by these two different methods. These results confirm the reliability of the method blue test used typically in industrial conditions. The measured specific surface areas of limestone and dolomite using N2adsorption (SBET) are smaller than SMBdetermined by methylene blue adsorption from aqueous solutions. This is because in aggregates, apart from calcite and dolomite, there is a small admixture of quartz and clay minerals. During N2adsorption in dry condition, the external surface of the grains is determined, while in the aqueous solution of methylene blue, both the external and inner surfaces of clay minerals are determined.

Abstract
Purpose
Obesity and health behaviors are the major modifiable contributors to cancer and health disparities. We examined the differences in obesity-related health behaviors, and health outcomes by rural and Appalachian residency in Ohio.

Methods
Cross-sectional survey data from the 2011–2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were obtained from the Ohio Department of Health. County-level identifiers were used to classify urban non-Appalachian, urban Appalachian, rural non-Appalachian, and rural Appalachian residency. Self-reported weight, height, health behaviors, and health conditions were used. Logistic regression was used to assess the difference in health behaviors and health outcomes by rural and Appalachian residency. All analyses incorporated with sample weights.

Results
Among Ohio residents, compared to urban non-Appalachian residents, urban Appalachian and rural Appalachian residents had a higher prevalence of obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as lower rates of healthy diet and physical activity. No difference was found in trends of obesity and obesity-related health outcomes in 2011–2019 by rural and Appalachian residency. However, rural Appalachian residents had a greater increase in obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, whereas rural non-Appalachian had favorable changes in obesity-related health behaviors. Additionally, associations between health behaviors and obesity-related health outcomes differed by rural and Appalachian residency.

Conclusions
Findings underscore the importance of distinguishing between urban non-Appalachian, urban Appalachian, rural non-Appalachian, and rural Appalachian populations when assessing health disparities. While the trends of obesity and obesity-related health outcomes did not differ, the association between health behaviors and obesity-related outcomes differed by rural and Appalachian residency.
