Published: January 2023

Objective: To evaluate a series of vascular parameters derived from abdominal dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT as predictors of 14-day mortality and AKI within 7 days in septic shock. Methods: 144 patients with septic shock and 60 negative cases were included. The vascular parameters from CT were measured and calculated, including aortic density in arterial (Dena-A) and venous phase (Dena-V), renal vein density in arterial (Denrv-A) and venous phase (Denrv-V), and renal vein-to-aortic density ratio in arterial (DenRrv/a-A) and venous phase (DenRrv/a-V). The parameters were compared between patients and controls, and between patients with different clinical outcomes, and assessed for predictive value of 14-day mortality and AKI within 7 days. Results: Patients with septic shock presented significantly lower Denrv-A (p < 0.001) and DenRrv/a-A (p = 0.002) levels than the controls. In the septic shock group, patients who died had significantly lower Denrv-A (p = 0.001) and lower DenRrv/a-A (p < 0.001) than those who survived. Patients who developed AKI had significantly lower Denrv-A (p < 0.001) and DenRrv/a-A (p = 0.011) than those who did not. Multivariate analysis suggested DenRrv/a-A as an independent predictor of 14-day mortality (OR 0.012; 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.002,0.086; p < 0.001) and Denrv-A as an independent predictor of AKI (OR 0.989;95% CI:0.982,0.997; p = 0.006). Conclusion: In septic shock, significant decreases in Denrv-A and DenRrv/a-A were associated with the onset of AKI and predicted higher 14-day mortality. Advances in knowledge: The renal vein density and renal vein-aortic density ratio in arterial phase of dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT may serve as good predictors of AKI and mortality in septic shock.

Introduction and objective: The iliotibial band (ITB) is a complex structure located in the lateral part of the thigh and consists of longitudinally arranged fascial connective tissue. The aim of this study is to analyze the current literature regarding etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and conservative treatment of iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS).
Materials and methods: PubMed database were searched. The criteria for qualifying the article for the review were the following keywords: running, iliotibial band syndrome, knee injuries, conservative treatment, physical therapy modalities. 11 articles from 2017 to 2022 were analyzed. The searches included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and review articles.
Description of the state of knowledge: Iliotibial band syndrome is the most common cause of lateral knee pain in runners and cyclists. It is presumably caused by excessive tension in the iliotibial band. Excessive tension is the result of overuse disorder of the lateral knee. Key symptom of ITBS is sharp or burning pain in the region of the lateral femoral epicondyle.. Pain typically occurs during physical activity, after a reproducible time or distance of running. The diagnosis is achieved through taking clinical history and physical assessment.
Summary: Treatment of ITBS is based on therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, modalities and anti-inflammatory medications. Eliminating modifiable risk factors helps prevent ITBS from recurring.

Published: January 2023

Circular dichroism has promising applications in biology, molecular chemistry, and other fields. The key to obtaining strong circular dichroism is to introduce symmetry breaking into the structure, which leads to a great difference in the response to different circularly polarized waves. Here, we propose a metasurface structure based on three circular arcs, which produces strong circular dichroism. The metasurface structure combines the split ring with the three circular arcs and increases the structural asymmetry by changing the relative torsional angle. The causes of the strong circular dichroism are analyzed in this paper, and the influence of metasurface parameters on it is discussed. According to the simulation data, the response of the proposed metasurface to different circularly polarized waves varies greatly, with absorption of up to 0.99 at 5.095 THz for a left-handed circularly polarized wave and a maximum circular dichroism of over 0.93. In addition, the incorporation of the phase change material vanadium dioxide on the structure allows flexible modulation of circular dichroism and modulation depths of up to 98.6%. The change of angle within a certain range has little effect on the structural performance. We believe that this flexible and angle robust chiral metasurface structure is suitable for complex reality, and large modulation depth is more practical.

To unveil presently inscrutable details of the origins of our universe
imprinted in the cosmic microwave background, future experiments in
the millimeter and submillimeter range are focusing
on the detection of fine
features, which necessitate large and sensitive detector arrays to
enable multichroic mapping of
the sky. Currently, various approaches for coupling light to such
detectors are under investigation, namely, coherently summed
hierarchical arrays, platelet horns, and antenna-coupled planar
lenslets. The last option offers increased bandwidth and a simpler
fabrication while maintaining the desired optical performance. In this
work, the design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of a
prototype planar metamaterial phase-engineered lenslet operating in
W-band [75 GHz; 110 GHz] is presented. Its radiated
field, initially modeled and measured on a systematics-limited optical
bench, is compared against a simulated hyperhemispherical lenslet, a
more established technology. It is reported here that our device
reaches the cosmic microwave background (CMB) specification for the
next stages of experiments, demonstrating power coupling above 95% and
beam Gaussicity above 97% while maintaining ellipticity below 10% and
a cross-polarization level below −21dB through its operating bandwidth. Such
results underline the potential advantages our lenslet can offer as
focal optics for future CMB experiments.
Inverse design of photonic crystal filters with arbitrary correlation and size for accurate spectrum reconstruction
Authors: Wang Wenqi , Dong Qiao , Zhang Zhixiao , Cao Hao , Xiang Jin , Gao Li 
Published: January 2023

Spectroscopic technique based on nanophotonic filters can recover spectral information through compressive sensing theory. The spectral information is encoded by nanophotonic response functions and decoded by computational algorithms. They are generally ultracompact, low in cost, and offer single-shot operation with spectral resolution better than 1 nm. Thus, they could be ideally suited for emerging wearable and portable sensing and imaging applications. Previous work has revealed that successful spectral reconstruction relies on well-designed filter response functions with sufficient randomness and low mutual correlation, but no thorough discussion has been performed on the filter array design. Here, instead of blind selection of filter structures, inverse design algorithms are proposed to obtain a photonic crystal filter array with predefined correlation coefficients and array size. Such rational spectrometer design can perform accurate reconstruction for a complex spectrum and maintain the performance under noise perturbation. We also discuss the impact of correlation coefficient and array size on the spectrum reconstruction accuracy. Our filter design method can be extended to different filter structures and suggests a better encoding component for reconstructive spectrometer applications.

Published: January 2023

Background
Few data exist on the distinct cytokine profiles of individuals with malaria coinfections and other diseases. This study focuses on data collation of distinct cytokine profiles between individuals with malaria coinfections and monoinfections to provide evidence for further diagnostic or prognostic studies.

Methods
We searched five medical databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Ovid, and Scopus, for articles on cytokines in malaria coinfections published from January 1, 1983 to May 3, 2022, after which the distinct cytokine patterns between malaria coinfection and monoinfection were illustrated in heat maps.

Results
Preliminary searches identified 2127 articles, of which 34 were included in the systematic review. Distinct cytokine profiles in malaria coinfections with bacteremia; HIV; HBV; dengue; filariasis; intestinal parasites; and schistosomiasis were tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon (IFN)-γ, IFN-α, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-1 receptor antagonist (Ra), IL-4, IL-7, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17; TNF, IL-1Ra, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, IL-18, CCL3, CCL5, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL11, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF); TNF, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, CCL2; IFN-γ, IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-17, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, G-CSF; IL-1Ra, IL-10, CXCL5, CXCL8, CXCL10; TNF, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10; and TNF, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, transforming growth factor-β, CXCL8, respectively.

Conclusion
This systematic review provides information on distinct cytokine profiles of malaria coinfections and malaria monoinfections. Further studies should investigate whether specific cytokines for each coinfection type could serve as essential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers for malaria coinfections.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch is widely used to stabilize emulsions. Nevertheless, the poor compatibility of starch with hydrophobic groups has restricted the performance of OSA modification. In this work, potato starch was pre-treated once or twice (dry heating, acetylation, and acid modification) prior to OSA modification. Pre-treatments increased the degree of substitution (DS), hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and decreased amylose content of OSA starches, with dual pre-treatments having greater effects. Among all pre-treatments, acid modification followed by dry heating resulted in the greatest OSA modification (DS: 0.015) and water-binding capacity (155%). Meanwhile, acid modification followed by acetylation produced OSA starch with the highest oil-binding capacity (290%). Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the granular deformation of dual pre-treated OSA starches was greater compared to single pre-treated and non-pre-treated OSA starches (O). Dual pre-treated OSA starches (ADO, 7%; ACO, 8%) had lower amylose contents than those of single pre-treated (AO: 12%, CO: 17%, DO: 21%) and O (36%). All the pre-treatments reduced the setback viscosity of OSA starch to a lower range (70–394 cP), simultaneously decreasing their retrograde tendency. This study suggested that dual pre-treatments could improve the efficiency of OSA modification and produce OSA starch with greater emulsifying potential.
Comparison of data-driven prediction methods for comprehensive coke ratio of blast furnace
Authors: Zhai Xiuyun , Chen Mingtong 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The emission of blast furnace (BF) exhaust gas has been criticized by society. It is momentous to quickly predict the comprehensive coke ratio (CCR) of BF, because CCR is one of the important indicators for evaluating gas emissions, energy consumption, and production stability, and also affects composite economic benefits. In this article, 13 data-driven prediction techniques, including six conventional and seven ensemble methods, are applied to predict CCR. The result of ten-fold cross-validation indicates that multiple linear regression (MLR) and support vector regression (SVR) based on radial basis function are superior to the other methods. The mean absolute error, the root mean square error, and the coefficient of determination (R
2) of the MLR model are 1.079 kg·t−1, 1.668, and 0.973, respectively. The three indicators of the SVR model are 1.158 kg·t−1, 1.878, and 0.975, respectively. Furthermore, AdaBoost based on linear regression has also strong prediction ability and generalization performance. The three methods have important significances both in theory and in practice for predicting CCR. Moreover, the models constructed here can provide valuable hints into realizing data-driven control of the BF process.
Satire without borders: the age-moderated effect of one-sided versus two-sided satire on hedonic experiences and patriotism
Authors: Boukes Mark , LaMarre Heather L. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The differential satire effects across domestic and foreign audiences are largely unknown; yet, this is of growing relevance as political satire increasingly reaches international audiences. A two-country experiment was conducted in which satirical stimuli from the Netherlands with either a one-sided (only targeting the United States) or two-sided humorous message (targeting both the U.S. and the Netherlands) was presented to a domestic (in-group) or foreign (out-group) audience. Specifically, this study examines political satire’s differential emotional and attitudinal impact on audiences located in the country-of-production (Netherlands) or abroad (U.S.). Results show that satire sidedness uniformly influenced hedonic enjoyment: compared to two-sided satire, one-sided satire elicited negative emotions and decreased positive emotions for both the in-group (Dutch) and the out-group (U.S.) audience. Yet, satire differentially affected patriotic attitudes. This effect was moderated by country and age: younger U.S. citizens became less patriotic after exposure to the one-sided satire that targeted their country and decreased their positive emotions; older U.S. citizens, in contrast, became more patriotic after exposure to this one-sided satire that particularly increased their negative emotions. The Dutch audience’s level of patriotism remained stable irrespective of satire sidedness. Altogether, this study demonstrates how humor type, country-of-reception, and age matter for satire effects.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Microalgae are used to produce renewable biofuels and high-value components and in bioremediation and CO2 sequestration tasks. These increasing applications, in conjunction with a desirable constant large-scale productivity, motivate the development and application of practical controllers. This paper addresses the application of robust control schemes for microalgae cultivation in continuous photobioreactors. Due to the model uncertainties and external perturbations, robust control designs are required to guarantee the desired microalgae productivity. Furthermore, simple controller designs are desirable for practical implementation purposes. Therefore, two robust control designs are applied and evaluated in this paper for two relevant case studies of microalgae cultivation in photobioreactors. The first control design is based on an enhanced simple-input output model with uncertain estimation. The second control design is the robust nonlinear model predictive control considering different uncertain scenarios. Numerical simulations of two case studies aimed at lipid production and CO2 capture under different conditions are presented to evaluate the robust closed-loop performance.

AbstractDue to subgrade-related concerns, the performance of Indonesia’s ballasted track continues to be significant impediments for the Indonesian railway stakeholders’ intention to increase the speed of passenger train operations. This study aims to examine the vertical compressive stress in the subgrade of Indonesia’s ballasted track and two asphaltic rail track designs, asphaltic overlayment and asphaltic underlayment, under various cyclic loading conditions based on three different train speeds, 120 (low speed), 240 (medium speed), and 360 kph (high speed). The AC layer thicknesses for each asphaltic rail track design are as follows: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 m for asphaltic underlayment, and 0.075, 0.15, 0.225, and 0.3 m for asphaltic overlayment. 2D finite element models and simulations were used to capture and predict the subgrade’s vertical compressive stress performance. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study is that the asphaltic overlayment track has a greater capacity for transmitting and decreasing stresses from the top structure to subgrade layer than the asphaltic underlayment track and the Indonesia’ ballasted track, respectively. This research can shed light on the prospective application of asphaltic rail track to the Indonesian rail network for the faster passenger trains operation.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The study of nanofluid flow over a rotating disk has significant importance because of its enormous range of implementations, including cancer treatments, chemotherapy, nanomedicines, fermentation sciences, selective drug delivery, food sciences, biosensors, biomedicines, and electronics. Due to these applications of nanofluid, the present problem investigates the magnetohydrodynamic flow of nanofluid with nonlinear thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. In this analysis, the aluminum oxide nanoparticles are mixed with water. Furthermore, the mechanism for inter-particle spacing and radius of aluminum oxide nanoparticles on the dynamics of the two-dimensional flow of nanofluid are investigated. The present problem is modeled in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs), and these PDEs are converted into ordinary differential equations with the help of suitable similarity transformations. The analytical solution to the current modeled problem has been obtained by using the homotopy analysis technique. The main purpose of the present research work is to analyze the behavior of the velocity and temperature of the nanofluid for small and large radius of the aluminum oxide nanoparticles and inter-particle spacing. Also, the role of heat transport is computed for linear and nonlinear thermal radiation cases. The major findings and principal results of this investigation are concluded that the primary velocity of nanoliquid is augmented due to the intensification in suction parameter for both the small and larger radius of aluminum oxide nanoparticles. Furthermore, it is perceived that the heat rate transfer is larger when the Eckert number and nanoparticle volume fraction are higher for both nonlinear and linear thermal radiation cases.
Beliefs on translation speed among students. A case study
Authors: Jamoussi Rafik , Al Zahran Aladdin , Kadhim Kais A. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractNovice translation graduates are often found to be slow translators. The fact that this deficiency is usually rectified through professional experience implies that initial performance issues are the outcome of a complex interplay of factors, which do not involve intrinsic abilities. Based on insights from cognitively oriented research on students’ beliefs about language learning and the impact these beliefs have on students’ performance, the present study posits that the beliefs students have towards the question of translation speed represent one of the factors that fashion their productivity. Targeting graduates from the English Language and Translation programme at a private university in an Arab Gulf State, a mixed method approach, including a survey and a semi-structured interview, was adopted to explore the beliefs students have towards the question of speed and to identify the sources of these beliefs in their training programme. Analysis reveals that productivity awareness among the investigated population is almost non-existent and points at the predominantly product-oriented approach that characterises their learning experience as the main source of this condition. This article argues that improving students’ awareness of productivity requirements is not just a case of integrating timed activities, but calls for the adoption of multi-layered process-oriented training principles and practices at the level of delivery, feedback, and assessment criteria.
