AbstractWe assessed the potential retinal microcirculation alterations for postoperative visual recovery in sellar/paraseller tumor patients with Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A). Two hundred ten eyes with sellar/parasellar tumor for which preoperative and postoperative (3 months) MRI Scans, Visual Acuity Test, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), OCT-A and, Visual Field Test data were available, besides 92 healthy eyes were evaluated. In the preoperative phase, significant reductions were observed in retinal vascular densities in various regions, including the Superficial Retinal Capillary Plexus (SRCP) (whole: p < 0.001, fovea: p = 0.025, parafovea: p < 0.001), Deep Retinal Capillary Plexus (DRCP) (whole: p < 0.001, fovea: p = 0.003, parafovea: p < 0.001), Peripapillary Vascular Density (PVD) (whole: p = 0.045, peripapillary: p < 0.001, nasal: p < 0.001, inferior: p < 0.001, temporal: p < 0.001), and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) (nasal: p = 0.024, inferior: p < 0.001, temporal: p < 0.001, superior: p < 0.001) compared to the healthy control group. After surgery, the postoperative data of patients without chiasmal distortion were compared to their preoperative data. In the postoperative evaluation, significant increases were observed in vascular densities in patients without chiasmal distortion in the SRCP (whole: p < 0.001, parafovea: p = 0.045), DRCP (whole: p = 0.007, fovea: p = 0.006, parafovea: p = 0.040), PVD (peripapillary: p = 0.010, inferior: p < 0.001, temporal: p < 0.001, superior: p < 0.001), and RNFL (nasal: p = 0.011, inferior: p = 0.034, temporal: p = 0.046, superior: p = 0.011). Furthermore, significant associations were observed in the ROC analysis between the postoperative Visual Field Mean Deviation (VFMD) and SRCP (whole AUC = 0.793, p < 0.001, cut-off = 51.45, parafovea AUC = 0.820, p < 0.001, cut-off = 53.95), DRCP (whole AUC = 0.818, p < 0.001, cut-off = 55.95, parafovea AUC = 0.820, p < 0.001, cut-off = 59.05), PVD (temporal AUC = 0.692, p < 0.001, cut-off = 55.10), and RNFL (whole AUC = 0.690, p = 0.001, cut-off = 119.5, inferior AUC = 0.712, p < 0.001, cut-off = 144.75). These findings indicate a potential role of pre and post-operative OCT-A measurements in the assessment of surgical timing and postoperative visual recovery in patients with or without optic chiasm distortion.

AbstractSingle-cell technologies have revolutionised biological research and applications. As they continue to evolve with multi-omics and spatial resolution, analysing single-cell datasets is becoming increasingly complex. For biologists lacking expert data analysis resources, the problem is even more crucial, even for the simplest single-cell transcriptomics datasets. We propose ShIVA, an interface for the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq and CITE-seq data specifically dedicated to biologists. Intuitive, iterative and documented by video tutorials, ShIVA allows biologists to follow a robust and reproducible analysis process, mostly based on the Seurat v4 R package, to fully explore and quantify their dataset, to produce useful figures and tables and to export their work to allow more complex analyses performed by experts.

AbstractThe present study successfully combined a stoichiometric bioenergetic approach with an endpoint stochastic model to simultaneously determine specific dynamic action, metabolic substrate use and whole-body protein synthesis in juvenile slipper lobster Thenus australiensis. Juvenile lobsters were fasted for 48 h to investigate routine metabolism before receiving a single meal of formulated feed containing 1% 15N-labeled Spirulina. Postprandial oxygen consumption rate, dissolved inorganic carbon, and total nitrogen excretion returned to the pre-feeding level within 24 h. The rate of whole-body protein synthesis was 0.76 ± 0.15 mg CP g−1 day−1, with a significant reduction from 24 to 48 h post-feeding. The postprandial increase in whole-body protein synthesis accounted for 13–19% of total oxygen uptake. Protein was the primary energy substrate for 48 h fasted (45% oxygen consumption) and post-feeding lobster (44%), suggesting that dietary protein was not efficiently used for growth. The secondary energy substrate differed between carbohydrates in 48 h fasted and lipids in post-feeding lobsters. The present study recommends integrating protein synthesis into protein requirement experiments of marine ectotherms to acquire a more comprehensive picture of protein and energy metabolism and nutritional physiology crucial for formulating cost-effective aquafeeds.

Published: September 2023

AbstractAs the in-depth expansion and integrated application of information technology, smart city is one of the important directions for nurturing breakthroughs in the new generation of information technology, and an important part of the development of global strategic emerging industries. In the context of world peace, the world economy is developing rapidly and the process of urbanization is accelerating. The construction of a city not only reflects the economic strength of the city, but also is closely related to the life of the citizens. Therefore, this paper aimed to explore a new way of urban cultural creative design. This paper focused on the application of human–computer interaction virtual reality (VR) technology in urban cultural creative design. For this reason, this paper designed an interactive and immersive urban design simulation platform based on VR technology. In order to choose the viewing angle freely and control the design module freely, this paper proposed improved gesture recognition algorithm and anti-collision algorithm. The algorithm designed in this paper can enable designers to have better presentation effects when working on the platform, making architectural design more intuitive. Experiments show that the average accuracy rate of the gesture recognition algorithm designed in this paper reaches 97.3%, which is 4.1% higher than that of the traditional algorithm; and when the anti-collision algorithm in this paper is set to the optimal parameters, the accuracy rate is as high as 95%. These results fully demonstrate that the human–computer interaction VR technology design platform proposed in this paper has good design performance and can be applied to urban cultural creative design.

Computerized Data Acquisition and Data Management for the Open Heart Patient
Authors: Hayes Richard S. 
Published: September 2023

(J. Extra-Corpor. Technol. 19[3] p. 287-289 Fall 1987) We have developed a complete system for acquiring data directly from electronic monitoring devices in the OR and ICU. In addition, this system maintains a database used for documentation of clinical management, report generation, and archival analysis of general patient information and clinical treatment.
This system is microcomputer based and file driven. Monitoring of patients occurs in the operating room, ICU, office, and at home via modem.
Since the system is file driven, it can be configured for any operation. It can be reconfigured at any time, including during an operation as clinical situations dictate.
Data is entered simultaneously from direct interface with monitoring devices and also manually. And as data is entered, new calculations are performed (i.e., SVR, LVSWI) to provide current clinical data so decisions in clinical management can be made.

Published: September 2023

Introduction : L’intégration multisensorielle est un mécanisme fondamental permettant d’intégrer et synchroniser les différentes entrées sensorielles. Nous avons évalué l’impact de la variation sensorielle plantaire sur la fusion binoculaire. Méthode : La contribution de la modalité podale a été étudiée en faisant varier l’afférence plantaire par réduction (mousse) et augmentation (texture) objectivée au Maddox Perceptif en évaluant les Hétérophories Verticales (HV) et leur Labilité (L). 40 participants (28 adultes, 12 adolescents) présentant une HV ont été inclus. Les HV ont été évaluées de façon aléatoire sur différents sols en mousse (Crispon Diabète® (CD) et Airgom® (AG)) et sur sol texturé (Black Pyramides®, BP), en comparaison à un sol contrôle (dur). Résultat : CD et BP induisent une réduction significative des hétérophories verticales et une augmentation de leur labilité. Ces effets ne varient pas avec l’âge. Discussion : Les résultats suggèrent que la modalité sensorielle plantaire permet d’avoir une incidence immédiate sur les phories verticales s’exprimant par la réduction de ces dernières ainsi qu’une variation de leur index de labilité. Nous confirmons qu’il est possible de modifier la perception visuelle en réduisant ou en augmentant les informations sensorielles plantaires et suggérons que le système plantaire peut influencer la proprioception visuelle en impactant la fusion binoculaire.
Choosing a better communication style: revealing the relationship between communication style and knowledge hiding behaviour
Authors: Jiang Zhenyu , Wang Zongjun , Feng Chengxiao 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn the era of the knowledge economy, knowledge hiding behaviour and its antecedents and consequences have been of great interest to the academic community. Through a survey of 350 employees of Chinese manufacturing enterprises, this paper explores the mechanism of organizational communication on employees’ knowledge hiding behaviour. The results of the regression analysis show that (1) cooperative communication will reduce employees’ knowledge hiding behaviour; in contrast, competitive communication will increase employees’ knowledge hiding behaviour. (2) There is no significant relationship between online communication and employees’ knowledge hiding behaviour. (3) Although online communication weakens the inhibitory effect of cooperative communication on employee knowledge hiding behaviour, it can alleviate employee knowledge hiding behaviour caused by competitive communication. This study reveals the association between communication styles and employees’ knowledge hiding behaviour, which not only deepens the understanding of the antecedents of knowledge hiding in the academic community but also provides guidance for corporate internal communication and knowledge management practises.

Published: September 2023

This paper presents a piezoelectric energy harvesting device applicable to wireless mouse (WM-PEH). Adding magnetic force to the excitation piezoelectric generating unit makes the impact better and more pronounced. The polygonal roller can increase the excitation frequency of the piezoelectric generating unit and broaden the energy collection range and capability of the WM-PEH. The theoretical and simulation analysis of WM-PEH was carried out in this paper. The effects of the length ratio of the exciter rod to the support frame and the circular impact area on the output characteristics of the prototype were discussed in the experiment. When the length ratio of the exciter rod and the support rod is 3:1, the activity increment of the exciter rod is the largest, and the maximum output voltage can reach 42 V and the maximum output power is 22.43 mW when it acts on a circular generator set with a radius of 1.5 mm. The design of the device is highly integrated with the wireless mouse that is widely used, and the piezoelectric energy harvesting mechanism and the wireless mouse are perfectly combined, which provides a scientific basis for the subsequent development of a self-powered wireless mouse.
Molecular insights into fluid-solid interfacial tensions in water + gas + solid systems at various temperatures and pressures

Published: September 2023

The fluid–solid interfacial tension is of great importance to many applications including the geological storage of greenhouse gases and enhancing the recovery of geo-resources, but it is rarely studied. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to calculate fluid–solid interfacial properties in H2O + gas (H2, N2, CH4, and CO2) + rigid solid three-phase systems at various temperatures (298–403 K), pressures (0–100 MPa), and wettabilities (hydrophilic, neutral, and hydrophobic). Our results on the H2O + solid system show that vapor–solid interfacial tension should not be ignored in cases where the fluid–solid interaction energy is strong or the contact angle is close to 90°. As the temperature rises, the magnitude of H2O’s liquid–solid interfacial tension declines because the oscillation of the interfacial density/pressure profile weakens at high temperatures. However, the magnitude of H2O vapor–solid interfacial tension is enhanced with temperature due to the stronger adsorption of H2O. Moreover, the H2O–solid interfacial tension in H2O + gas (H2 or N2) + solid systems is weakly dependent on pressure, while the pressure effects on H2O–solid interfacial tensions in systems with CH4 or CO2 are significant. We show that the assumption of pressure independent H2O–solid interfacial tensions should be cautiously applied to Neumann’s method for systems containing non-hydrophilic surfaces with strong gas–solid interaction. Meanwhile, the magnitude of gas–solid interfacial tension increases with pressure and gas–solid interaction. High temperatures generally decrease the magnitude of gas–solid interfacial tensions. Further, we found that the increment of contact angle due to the presence of gases follows this order: H2 &lt; N2 &lt; CH4 &lt; CO2.

Published: September 2023

A high brightness and low energy spread (∆E) ion source is essential to the production of a high-quality primary ion beam applied in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). A compact 13.56 MHz radio-frequency (RF) ion source with an external planar spiral antenna has been developed as a candidate ion source for the production of negative oxygen ion beams for SIMS application. This ion source is designed with a three-and-a-half-turn water-cooled planar antenna for RF power coupling, a multi-cusp magnetic field for effective plasma confinement, and a three-electrode extraction system. The experimental results show that more than 50 µA negative oxygen ion beams have been extracted, which consist of 56% O−, 25% O2−, and 19% O3−. The ion energy distribution of the negative oxygen ion beam exhibits a Gaussian distribution with a minimum ∆E of 6.3 eV. The brightness of the O− beam is estimated to be 82.4 A m−2 Sr−1 V−1. The simulation, design, and experimental study results of this RF ion source will be presented in this paper.
Proximity effects in graphene-supported single-atom catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction
Authors: Lin Weijie , Yin Wen-Jin , Wen Bo 
Published: September 2023

The interaction between adjacent active sites is crucial to balance the efficiency and utilization of functional atoms in single-atom catalysts. Herein, the catalytic activity of hydrogen evolution reaction at different site (nitrogen coordinated transition metal centers embedded in graphene) distances was comprehensively investigated by density functional theory calculations. The results show that a proximity effect of reactivity and site spacing can be identified in the Co-series single-atom catalysts. Although the proximity effect is more linearly responded with the site spacing along x direction, an optimal distance of ∼0.8 and ∼2.8 nm are found for Co and Rh, Ir atoms, respectively. An in-depth analysis of the electronic property reveals that the proximity effect is caused by the distinct net charge of the active site, which is affected by the dz2 position relative to EF. Subsequently, an excess electron nodal channel in x direction was found to serve as a communication pathway between the active sites. Through the finding in this work, an optimal Fe-N2C2 structure was deliberately designed and has shown prominent proximity effect as Co-series do. The results reported in this work provide a simple and effective tuning method for the reactivity of a single-atom catalyst.
Comparing zero and referential choice in eight languages with a focus on Mandarin Chinese
Authors: Vollmer Maria 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Mandarin has a low rate of overtly expressed arguments in all syntactic functions without agreement marking on the verb. It has been claimed that Mandarin exhibits higher rates of zero arguments than other languages. Most previous work has compared Mandarin with English, while comparison with other languages remains a desideratum. This study compares Mandarin with seven languages (Cypriot Greek, English, Northern Kurdish, Sanzhi, Teop, Tondano, Vera’a) taken from Multi-CAST (Haig & Schnell 2019). Results suggest that while Mandarin exhibits more zero arguments than pronouns, this is not unique, with e.g. Cypriot Greek having a higher rate of zero arguments. In addition, a relatively stable rate of lexical expressions can be found across languages, relativising Mandarin’s unique position with regard to referential choice even further.
Failure of scattering for the NLSE with a point interaction in dimension two and three
Authors: Cacciapuoti Claudio , Finco Domenico , Noja Diego 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this paper we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with power nonlinearity and a point interaction (a ‘δ-potential’ in the physical literature) in dimension two and three. We will show that for low power nonlinearities there is failure of scattering to the free dynamics or to standing waves. In the recent paper, Murphy and Nakanishi (2021 Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst.
41 1507–17) consider the NLS equation with potentials and measures, singular enough to include the δ-potential in dimension one and they show analogous properties. We extend the result to higher dimensions and this needs a different treatment of the linear part of the interaction, due the qualitatively different and stronger character of the singularity involved.
Anosov endomorphisms on the two-torus: regularity of foliations and rigidity
Authors: Cantarino Marisa , Varão Régis 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We provide sufficient conditions for smooth conjugacy between two Anosov endomorphisms on the two-torus. From that, we also explore how the regularity of the stable and unstable foliations implies smooth conjugacy inside a class of endomorphisms including, for instance, the ones with constant Jacobian. As a consequence, we have in this class a characterisation of smooth conjugacy between special Anosov endomorphisms (defined as those having only one unstable direction for each point) and their linearisations.
Investigation of a minority carrier trap in a NiO/β-Ga2O3

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The properties of a minority carrier (hole) trap in β-Ga2O3 have been explicitly investigated using a NiO/β-Ga2O3
p–n heterojunction. Via deep-level transient spectroscopy, the activation energy for emission (E
emi) and the hole capture cross section (σp
) were derived to be 0.10 eV and 2.48 × 10−15 cm2, respectively. Temperature-enhanced capture and emission kinetics were revealed by the decrease in the capture time constant (τc
) and emission time constant (τe
). Moreover, it was determined that the emission process of the minority carrier trap is independent of the electric field. Taking carrier recombination into account, a corrected trap concentration (N
Ta) of 2.73 × 1015 cm−3 was extracted, together with an electron capture cross section (σn
) of 1.42 × 10−18 cm2. This study provides a foundation for the comprehension of trap properties in β-Ga2O3, which is crucial for overcoming self-trapped hole effects when obtaining p-type β-Ga2O3 materials and performance enhancement of β-Ga2O3-based power devices.

When an intense light beam is absorbed by a medium, the phase of the beam undergoes a modulation, which in turn produces an interference pattern. Herein, we report the thermo-optic coefficient
