Published: July 2023

One of the most important applications of composites is their use in structures with periodic thermal loading. Sports buildings are one of the most appropriate options for using these composites due to the need for a balanced temperature. In this research, composite samples of polymeric base reinforced with nanoparticles, structure, and effects of thermal cycling and circular holes on it have been investigated. The nanoparticles used were multi-walled carbon nanotubes and the weight percentage was 0.1%. In this research, the behavior of perforated nanocomposite samples with a diameter of 2 and 4 mm holes under thermal cycles was investigated. By performing a tensile test on the samples, the fracture toughness and modulus of elasticity due to the number of different heating cycles and the ratio of the hole diameter to the width for different samples were checked and compared. According to the results, as the ratio of diameter to width increases, the coefficient of stress concentration also increases. Also, the results show that the fracture strength increases during the thermal cycle. Fracture strength increases between 9% and 25% after 360 thermal cycles. It seems that one reason for this increase in tensile strength is the sintering of glass/epoxy nanocomposite during the thermal cycle.

Abstract
Audiovisual translation (AVT) as a tool in the teaching/learning of a foreign language has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers in the latest years. The TRADILEX Project team is currently working on the pedagogic use of AVT in the teaching /learning of English as a Foreign language (EFL) in an online environment, in a good number of Spanish universities. This paper presents the results of the TRADILEX experience, carried out at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). The methodology designed and applied for that end has required the use of technological tools to guide students through different steps, from an Initial Test of Integrated Skills (ITIS) to a Final Test of Integrated Skills (FITIS), both designed by members of the team. On their way from the former to the latter, students were invited to carry out a series of B1-level tasks in five AVT modes. The materials previously designed and tested aimed at a progressive autonomy of the student in their advance in the lesson plans of each mode. The analysis of the results obtained in each of the AVT modes, as well as the comparative results between the ITIS and the FITIS will highlight the virtues of the methodology used.

Abstract
Audio description (AD) is a mode of audiovisual translation (AVT) used for making video content accessible to blind and visually impaired viewers. Didactic AD refers to an active practice where the language learner inserts a narration into the original soundtrack of a clip to describe information transmitted visually, thus converting images into words. AD is often portrayed as an artistic practice due to the creative nature of translating visual elements into a linguistic code whilst the learner becomes a social agent that mediates between the clip and others, using aural discourse to interpret what can be seen including semiotic signs and images. This article will explore key professional guidelines for audio describing, the type of language used, and what areas need to be considered when planning an AD lesson. Taking into consideration the new descriptors of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and how communicative approaches have evolved over the last couple of decades, this article will also discuss methodological approaches for an AD effective usage. A sample AD lesson taken from the TRADILEX project will be commented on whilst providing practical recommendations to new users of this AVT mode.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The strong coupling of excitons to optical cavity modes is of immense importance when understanding the fundamental physics of quantum electrodynamics at the nanoscale as well as for practical applications in quantum information technologies. There have been several attempts at achieving strong coupling between excitons in two-dimensional semiconductors, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and photonic quasi-bound states in the continuum (BICs). We identify two gaps in the platforms for achieving strong coupling between TMDC excitons and photonic quasi-BICs: firstly, in the studies so far, different cavity architectures have been employed for coupling to different TMDCs. This would mean that typically, the fabrication process flow for the cavities will need to be modified as one moves from one TMDC to the other, which can limit the technological progress in the field. Secondly, there has been no discussion of the impact of fabrication imperfections in the studies on the strong coupling of these subsystems so far. In this work, we address these two questions by optimizing a cavity with the same architecture, which can couple to the four typical TMDCs (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2) and perform a detailed investigation on the fabrication tolerance of the associated photonic quasi-BICs and their impact on strong coupling.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The paper presents systematic analyses of a wide maximum induction range (0.001 T–1.4 T) DC magnetic properties of iron-based soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials by applying different methods to understand the specific features of magnetization reversal of this increasingly popular class of soft magnetic materials, including a hitherto less explored area of the Rayleigh region of very low magnetic fields, which has growing application potential in new, low-energy consuming electronic devices or ultra-low magnetic field shielding. The total permeability, coercive field and remanent magnetic induction were analysed in connection with the reciprocity factor and inner demagnetization factor and their relations to interparticle magnetic interaction, domain wall movability and predominance of individual magnetization processes. Their dependence on the magnetic induction and the properties of each sample were revealed and confirmed also by energy loss separation. The Rayleigh region analytical expressions for the coercive field, remanent magnetic induction, the ratio of irreversible to reversible magnetization changes and their percentages within the magnetizing cycle were used for SMCs for the first time.
Entanglement swapping under global noise environment
Authors: Kong Fan-Zhen , Zhao Jun-Long , Ji Jie 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
We investigate the entanglement swapping under phase damping global noise and amplitude damping global noise. The two qubits the intermediate user holds during the entanglement swapping process first suffer from a global noise before the Bell measurement is carried out. Based on this assumption, the influence of global phase damping noise and global amplitude damping noise on the output entanglement of entanglement swapping is investigated, respectively. Our findings imply that the output entanglement is completely independent of the phase damping global noise and determined by the input entanglement when entanglement swapping is performed in a global phase damping noise environment. In addition, when entanglement swapping is executed in an amplitude damping environment, the output entanglement oscillates periodically with time, and the output entanglement may disappear at some points and reappear at others. In this case, we need not only to improve the input entanglement but also to control the evolution time of the amplitude damping global noise to ensure the optimal output entanglement. Our findings may help experimentalists to avoid and utilize environmental noise in entanglement swapping.
Research on corrosion of carbon steel in simulated boiler steam-water system
Authors: Zhao Zhijuan , Cao Bingqing , Jin Dong 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The metal materials corrosion in the boiler steam-water system influences the safe and economic operation of the boiler system. In this work, the corrosion experiment of carbon steel is carried out in the high-temperature autoclave to simulate the boiler steam-water system. The effect of temperature and dissolved oxygen on the corrosion of carbon steel is studied by the corrosion weight loss rate, surface changes and micro-morphology characterization. At 120~150°C, the carbon steel mainly dissolves in pure water and many corrosion spots are formed on the surface of corroded samples. At 200~300°C, the carbon steel is mainly oxidized in pure water and the corrosion spots are less; especially at 350°C, the surface of corroded carbon steel is covered with black ash material and there is almost no corrosion spot. The content of dissolved oxygen in pure water affects carbon steel’s corrosion. The content of dissolved oxygen in pure water should be controlled as low as possible to reduce the corrosion of carbon steel.

The needle penetration, softening point, and ductility of modified asphalt with different proportions of graphene incorporation were measured by the national standard test method. As affected by adding different proportions of graphene on the three indexes of SBS modified asphalt was studied. Through the analysis and comparison of the experimental results, when the graphene parameter is 0.5%, the performance of graphene-SBS double-modified asphalt reaches the optimum, which provides technical reference for the diversification of modified asphalt materials in the alpine region of Inner Mongolia.
Study on the influences of different process temperatures on microstructural evolution of Mg-11%Al-2%Zn-1%Si alloy through isothermal semi-solid treatment

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Due to the eutectic reaction, the Mg2Si phase is inclined to creating an unfavorable fishbone shape at low solidification rates. This can significantly degrade the mechanical characteristics and become the main barrier to the practical application of Mg-Si based alloy. It is regarded that isothermal semi-solid treatment is an efficient technique to modulate the fishbone-shape eutectic Mg2Si phases in Mg-Si based alloys. In this work, a new type of Mg-11%Al-2%Zn-1%Si alloy is successfully fabricated through isothermal semi-solid treatment, and the influences of different process temperatures on microstructural evolution of Mg-11%Al-2%Zn-1%Si alloy are studied. The findings illustrate that the mean size of the α-Mg grains increases and their trendency of spheroidization becomes more evidently after held for 30 min at different process temperatures from 550 °C to 580 °C. Additionally, through isothermal semi-solid treatment, the eutectic Mg2Si phases in experimental alloy are totally changed from their original fishbone shape into polygon or granule shapes. With increasing the process temperatures, the mean size and morphologies of eutectic Mg2Si phases have no significantly changes. The morphological change theory of eutectic Mg2Si phases through isothermal semi-solid treatment is also studied.

Abstract
High-order harmonics q(ψ
s) = 1 energetic particle modes (EPMs) have been observed in toroidal plasmas experiments with neutral beam injection. To investigate these phenomena, linear properties and nonlinear dynamics of these EPMs driven by passing energetic particles (EPs) are studied via the global hybrid kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic code M3D-K. Simulation results demonstrate that passing EPs’ effects on high mode-number harmonics (q(ψ
s) = m/n = 2/2, 3/3, 4/4) instability are more obvious than the q(ψ
s) = 1/1 mode, especially when q-profile is sufficiently flat in the core region. Furthermore, the effects of the pitch angle Λ0 and beam ion pressure P
hot/P
total on the features of high n components are also analyzed specifically. It is found that there exists only one resonant condition for these EPMs. In the nonlinear phase, these high mode-number harmonics can induce significant energetic ions redistribution and chirping up phenomena, which differs from the classical fishbone excited by passing EPs. These discoveries are conducive to better apprehend the underlying physical mechanisms of the high-order harmonics driven by passing EPs.
SBOannotator: a Python tool for the automated assignment of systems biology ontology terms
Authors: Leonidou Nantia , Fritze Elisabeth , Renz Alina , Dräger Andreas 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Motivation
The number and size of computational models in biology have drastically increased over the past years and continue to grow. Modeled networks are becoming more complex, and reconstructing them from the beginning in an exchangeable and reproducible manner is challenging. Using precisely defined ontologies enables the encoding of field-specific knowledge and the association of disparate data types. In computational modeling, the medium for representing domain knowledge is the set of orthogonal structured controlled vocabularies named Systems Biology Ontology (SBO). The SBO terms enable modelers to explicitly define and describe model entities, including their roles and characteristics.

Results
Here, we present the first standalone tool that automatically assigns SBO terms to multiple entities of a given SBML model, named the SBOannotator. The main focus lies on the reactions, as the correct assignment of precise SBO annotations requires their extensive classification. Our implementation does not consider only top-level terms but examines the functionality of the underlying enzymes to allocate precise and highly specific ontology terms to biochemical reactions. Transport reactions are examined separately and are classified based on the mechanism of molecule transport. Pseudo-reactions that serve modeling purposes are given reasonable terms to distinguish between biomass production and the import or export of metabolites. Finally, other model entities, such as metabolites and genes, are annotated with appropriate terms. Including SBO annotations in the models will enhance the reproducibility, usability, and analysis of biochemical networks.

Abstract

Background
Contemporary management of patients with synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases is complex. The aim of this project was to provide a practical framework for care of patients with synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases, with a focus on terminology, diagnosis, and management.

Methods
This project was a multiorganizational, multidisciplinary consensus. The consensus group produced statements which focused on terminology, diagnosis, and management. Statements were refined during an online Delphi process, and those with 70 per cent agreement or above were reviewed at a final meeting. Iterations of the report were shared by electronic mail to arrive at a final agreed document comprising 12 key statements.

Results
Synchronous liver metastases are those detected at the time of presentation of the primary tumour. The term ‘early metachronous metastases' applies to those absent at presentation but detected within 12 months of diagnosis of the primary tumour, the term ‘late metachronous metastases’ applies to those detected after 12 months. ‘Disappearing metastases’ applies to lesions that are no longer detectable on MRI after systemic chemotherapy. Guidance was provided on the recommended composition of tumour boards, and clinical assessment in emergency and elective settings. The consensus focused on treatment pathways, including systemic chemotherapy, synchronous surgery, and the staged approach with either colorectal or liver-directed surgery as first step. Management of pulmonary metastases and the role of minimally invasive surgery was discussed.

Conclusion
The recommendations of this contemporary consensus provide information of practical value to clinicians managing patients with synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases.
From electronic health records to clinical management systems: how the digital transformation can support healthcare services
Authors: Barbieri Carlo , Neri Luca , Stuard Stefano , Mari Flavio , Martín-Guerrero José D 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTHealthcare systems worldwide are currently undergoing significant transformations in response to increasing costs, a shortage of healthcare professionals and the growing complexity of medical needs among the population. Value-based healthcare reimbursement systems are emerging as an attempt to incentivize patient-centricity and cost containment. From a technological perspective, the transition to digitalized services is intended to support these transformations. A Health Information System (HIS) is a technological solution designed to govern the data flow generated and consumed by healthcare professionals and administrative staff during the delivery of healthcare services. However, the exponential growth of digital capabilities and applied advanced analytics has expanded their traditional functionalities and brought the promise of automating administrative procedures and simple repetitive tasks, while enhancing the efficiency and outcomes of healthcare services by incorporating decision support tools for clinical management. The future of HIS is headed towards modular architectures that can facilitate implementation and adaptation to different environments and systems, as well as the integration of various tools, such as artificial intelligence (AI) models, in a seamless way. As an example, we present the experience and future developments of the European Clinical Database (EuCliD®). EuCliD is a multilingual HIS used by 20 000 nurses and physicians on a daily basis to manage 105 000 patients treated in 1100 clinics in 43 different countries. EuCliD encompasses patients’ follow-up, automatic reporting and mobile applications while enabling efficient management of clinical processes. It is also designed to incorporate multiagent systems to automate repetitive tasks, AI modules and advanced dynamic dashboards.

ABSTRACT

Background
Cardiorenal programs have emerged to improve the management of cardiorenal disease (CRD). Evidence about the benefits of these programs is still scarce. This work aims to evaluate the performance of a novel cardiorenal program and describe the clinical profile and outcomes of patients with CRD.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with CRD attended in a cardiorenal unit (CRU) from February 2021 to February 2022. Demographics and laboratory tests were collected and events (all-cause death and cardiovascular hospitalizations) were evaluated. Optimization of comorbidities and protective therapies was also assessed.

Results
Eighty-two patients were included, with a mean age of 76.8 years [standard deviation (SD) 8.5] and 72% were men. A total of 58.5% (n = 47) had left ventricular ejection fraction &lt;50%. The mean follow-up was 11 months (SD 4.0). Almost 54% of the patients (n = 44) required hospitalization, 30.5% for heart failure (HF) decompensation. Total hospitalizations significantly decreased after CRU inclusion: 0.70 versus 0.45 admissions/year (P &lt; .02). Global mortality was 17.1% (n = 14). The percentage of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction on quadruple therapy increased by 20%, and up to 60% of the patients were on three drugs. A total of 39% of the patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction started treatment with sodium–glucose co-transporter inhibitors. Hyperkalaemia required the use of potassium binders in 12.2% of the patients and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism was started in 42.7% and renal anaemia in 23.2%. Renal replacement therapy was initiated in 10% of the patients (n = 8).

Conclusion
CRD confers a considerable risk of adverse outcomes. Cardiorenal programs may improve cardiorenal syndrome management by optimizing therapies, treating comorbidities and reducing hospitalizations.
