Comparison of Linguistic Error Production in Conversational Language Among Boys With Fragile X Syndrome + Autism Spectrum Disorder and Autistic Boys
Authors: Maltman Nell , Hilvert Elizabeth , Friedman Laura , Sterling Audra 
Published: January 2023

Purpose:
Expressive language impairments are common among school-age boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autistic boys. Given the high co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among individuals with FXS, cross-condition comparisons can elucidate the specificity of such impairments as they relate to ASD. Language samples can provide fruitful information regarding individuals' grammatical skills in less structured formats relative to standardized measures. This study examined grammatical errors produced during a conversational language sample among 20 boys with FXS and co-occurring ASD (FXS + ASD) and 19 autistic boys matched on ASD severity.

Method:
Language samples were coded for omissions and errors at the word and utterance levels. Participants' grammatical errors were also compared to separate mental age–matched and mean length of utterance–matched boys from a reference database.

Results:
Boys with FXS + ASD and autistic boys produced similar rates of errors across all categories. Relative to their matched comparison groups, boys with FXS + ASD and autistic boys produced significantly more omissions during conversation.

Conclusions:
These findings suggest that omissions may be a unique grammatical marker associated with the ASD phenotype. Further examination of omissions across diagnostic groups would aid in clarifying the specificity of omissions in the language phenotype of ASD.

Authors: Long Helen L. , Drown Lee , El Amin Mariam 
Published: January 2023

Purpose:
This study examined the effect of open access (OA) status on scholarly and societal metrics of impact (citation counts and altmetric scores, respectively) across manuscripts published in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Journals.

Method:
Three thousand four hundred nineteen manuscripts published in four active ASHA Journals were grouped across three access statuses based on their availability to the public: Gold OA, Green OA, and Closed Access. Two linear mixed-effects models tested the effects of OA status on citation counts and altmetric scores of the manuscripts.

Results:

Both Green OA and Gold OA significantly predicted a 2.70 and 5.21 respective increase in citation counts compared with Closed Access manuscripts (
p
< .001). Gold OA was estimated to predict a 25.7-point significant increase in altmetric scores (
p
< .001), but Green OA was only marginally significant (
p
= .68) in predicting a 1.44 increase in altmetric scores relative to Closed Access manuscripts.

Discussion:
Communication sciences and disorders (CSD) research that is fully open receives more online attention and, overall, more scientific attention than research that is paywalled or available through Green OA methods. Additional research is needed to understand secondary variables affecting these and other scholarly and societal metrics of impact across studies in CSD. Ongoing support and incentives to reduce the inequities of OA publishing are critical for continued scientific advancement.

Sampling visual SLAM with a wide‐angle camera for legged mobile robots
Authors: Fan Guangyu , Huang Jiaxin , Yang Dingyu , Rao Lei 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPrecise localisation and navigation are the two most important tasks for mobile robots. Visual simultaneous localisation and mapping (VSLAM) is useful in localisation systems of mobile robots. The wide‐angle camera has a broad field of vision and more abundant information on images, so it is widely used in mobile robots, including legged robots. However, wide‐angle cameras are more complicated than ordinary cameras in the design of visual localisation systems, and higher requirements and challenges are put forward for VSLAM technologies based on wide‐angle cameras. In order to resolve the problem of distortion in wide‐angle images and improve the accuracy of localisation, a sampling VSLAM based on a wide‐angle camera model for legged mobile robots is proposed. For the predictability of the periodic motion of a legged robot, in the method, the images are sampled periodically, image blocks with clear texture are selected and the image details are enhanced to extract the feature points on the image. Then, the feature points of the blocks are extracted and by using the feature points of the blocks in the images, the feature points on the images are extracted. Finally, the points on the incident light through the normalised plane are selected as the template points; the relationship between the template points and the images is established through the wide‐angle camera model, and the pixel coordinates of the template points in the images and the descriptors are calculated. Moreover, many experiments are conducted on the TUM datasets with a quadruped robot . The experimental results show that the trajectory error and translation error measured by the proposed method are reduced compared with the VINS‐MONO, ORB‐SLAM3 and Periodic SLAM systems.
A distributed decentralized cooperative control scheme for microgrids
Authors: Li Lang , Luo Zhaoxu , Tian Peng , Zhou Ke , Shen Shixun , Liu Yun , Zhang Chao 
Published: January 2023

AbstractA hybrid series‐parallel microgrid structure and its distributed decentralized cooperative control strategy are introduced in this paper. In the hybrid series‐parallel microgrids, the distributed generators (DGs) are concatenated in parallel to form a paralleled‐connected generation (PCG) module. Further, the hybrid series‐parallel microgrids consist of multiple PCG modules in series. For the considered microgrids, a distributed decentralized cooperative control strategy is proposed. For DGs in the same PCG module, low‐bandwidth communications are applied to obtain convergence control of the system. Meanwhile, different PCG modules realize autonomous synchronization in a communication‐free manner. Thus, the proposed distributed decentralized cooperative control method is a low‐bandwidth communication approach. Moreover, it is immune to single‐point fault and communication failure. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed controller for the considered microgrids is verified by stability and simulations.
Small insulator target detection based on multi‐feature fusion
Authors: Tang Minan , Liang Kai , Qiu Jiandong 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe proportion of insulators in aerial power patrol images is small and the background of overhead lines is complex, often leading to incomplete and inaccurate detection of insulators. Therefore, an algorithm for detecting insulator targets based on multi‐feature fusion is developed in this study. Firstly, a dynamic threshold oriented fast and rotated brief algorithm is proposed, which uses the bag‐of‐words dictionary model to determine local shape features of the image, applies gradient weighting to the global texture feature vector extracted by the histogram of oriented gradients algorithm and performs radial gradient transformations to get the improved HOG of features. Secondly, the feature vectors are fused serially, the learning machine is trained and the parameters of the support vector machine are optimized using the quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the target area is pre‐divided by the selective search algorithm, and the area is classified by the learning machine. The experimental results show that the proposed feature extraction method can describe the image details more accurately than the existing methods, and the average accuracy of the feature extraction classifier can reach 93.7%, which helps to overcome the incomplete detection problem of insulator detection at the aerial work site.

AbstractCardiometabolic disorders (CMD) is a constellation of metabolic predisposing
factors for atherosclerosis such as insulin resistance (IR) or diabetes mellitus
(DM), systemic hypertension, central obesity, and dyslipidemia. Cardiometabolic
diseases (CMDs) continue to be the leading cause of mortality in both developed
and developing nations, accounting for over 32% of all fatalities
globally each year. Furthermore, dyslipidemia, angina, arrhythmia, heart
failure, myocardial infarction (MI), and diabetes mellitus are the major causes
of death, accounting for an estimated 19 million deaths in 2012. CVDs will kill
more than 23 million individuals each year by 2030. Nonetheless, new drug
development (NDD) in CMDs has been increasingly difficult in recent decades due
to increased costs and a lower success rate. Drug repositioning in CMDs looks
promising in this scenario for launching current medicines for new therapeutic
indications. Repositioning is an ancient method that dates back to the 1960s and
is mostly based on coincidental findings during medication trials. One
significant advantage of repositioning is that the drug’s safety profile
is well known, lowering the odds of failure owing to undesirable toxic effects.
Furthermore, repositioning takes less time and money than NDD. Given these
facts, pharmaceutical corporations are becoming more interested in medication
repositioning. In this follow-up, we discussed the notion of repositioning and
provided some examples of repositioned medications in cardiometabolic
disorders.

Abstract
Background and study aims Concomitant hiatal hernia (HH) repair with transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) is a therapeutic option for patients with HH > 2 cm and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Data comparing this approach with laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) are lacking. We performed an exploratory analysis to compare these two approaches' adverse events (AEs) and clinical outcomes.
Patients and methods This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of HH repair followed by LNF versus HH repair followed by TIF in patients with GERD and moderate HH (2–5 cm). AEs were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo classification. Symptoms (heartburn/regurgitation, bloating, and dysphagia) were compared at 6 and 12 months.
Results A total of 125 patients with HH repair with TIF and 70 with HH repair with LNF were compared. There was no difference in rates of discontinuing or decreasing proton pump inhibitor use, dysphagia, esophagitis, disrupted wrap, and HH recurrence between the two groups (P > 0.05). The length of hospital stay (1 day vs. 2 days), 30-day readmission rate (0 vs. 4.3 %), early AE rate (0 vs. 18.6 %), and early serious AE rate (0 vs. 4.3 %) favored TIF (all P < 0.05). The rate of new or worse than baseline bloating was lower in the TIF group at 6 months (13.8 % vs. 30.0 %, P = 0.009).
Conclusions Concomitant HH repair with TIF is feasible and associated with lower early and serious AEs compared to LNF. Further comparative efficacy studies are warranted.
The multi-bandgap of local effect phononic crystal
Authors: Dong Yake , Ye Xiusong , Chen Guangyu , Nan Min 
Published: January 2023

A design method of a phononic crystal structure with a local effect is introduced, and the mechanism and influencing factors (elastic modulus, density, local layer thickness) of the bandgap are analyzed. The finite element method is used to calculate the eigenfrequency. The first bandgap width accounts for more than 98% of the frequency below 20 000 Hz. Two kinds of materials with different wave velocities are arranged periodically to form a two-dimensional local effect structure. Due to the influence of the local effect, when the elastic wave propagates in the local layer, the wave propagation will be restrained, and the eigenfrequency spectrum presents a series of discrete energy levels. The material parameters and structural parameters of the transmission layer have a great influence on the bandgap. The first bandgap is an ultra-wide low frequency bandgap, and the bandgap frequency ranges from 238 to 18857 Hz. This periodic structure with the local effect has great potential application value in noise and vibration suppression.
Diffusion and dynamics of noble gases in hydroquinone clathrate channels
Authors: Rodríguez-García Brais , Piñeiro Manuel M. , Pérez-Rodríguez Martín 
Published: January 2023

In the present work, we study the behavior of the noble gases He, Ne, Ar, and Kr inside a hydroquinone clathrate (HQC) by using all-atom molecular dynamics. Larger elements of the same group were not considered due to their inability to fit inside the HQC cavities. By using the umbrella sampling technique, we have obtained the following inter-cage transition barriers—which are arguably the main factor determining the type of diffusion of the gases—at 310 K and 0.1 MPa: 1192; 2204; 6450; 10 730 kJ mol−1 for the guests He, Ne, Ar, and Kr, respectively. These energy barriers were found to have a linear relation with atomic radii (σ). We have tested this tendency with CH4, due to its intermediate size between Ar and Kr, obtaining a barrier of 8926 kJ mol−1, in excellent agreement with the results for noble gases.

Published: January 2023

Context The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) methods have great potential to identify the species origin of the tissue in meat and meat products at isothermal temperature and are also suitable for field conditions. Aim The present study aimed to develop a rapid, specific, and sensitive assay based on the LAMP technique for identification of tissue of pig origin. Methods The pig-specific primers were designed by targeting the mitochondrial COI gene. The amplification temperature and time for the LAMP reaction were optimised as 64°C and 45 min. The analysis of the amplified product was performed on the basis of the development of colour after the addition of intercalating SYBR Green I dye, and also by the ladder-like pattern on agarose-gel electrophoresis. Key results The assay was found to be highly specific for DNA templates of pig origin and showed no cross-reactivity with other food animals, viz. cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats. The analytical sensitivities of the LAMP and PCR assays were recorded as up to 0.00001 ng and 0.1 ng respectively, of the absolute DNA content. The laboratory validation of the developed method was performed on blind samples and an admixture of meat from different food animals, viz. cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat and pig. The analysis could be performed in an hour by using supernatant from Phire Animal Tissue Direct PCR kit-treated tissue, excluding the complex process of nucleic acid extraction. Conclusion The LAMP assay was found to be cost-effective, easy to perform, and highly species-specific for pig tissue in meat and meat admixture. The result of the assay can be analysed with the naked eye without the need for sophisticated equipment. Compared with pre-standardised PCR assay, the developed LAMP method was quite sensitive and could be performed within 1 h, from sampling to analysis results. Implications The developed LAMP assay is low resource-based single-tube approach that could be exploited significantly in the fields of diagnostics, agriculture, and aquaculture.
Phoxonic bandgap modulation in optomechanical crystals with shifting hole
Authors: Ao Lihong , Ramiere Aymeric 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Optomechanical crystals (OMCs) control light and mechanical vibrations by simultaneously presenting photonic and phononic bandgaps. Tuning the position of these bandgaps is essential to address different technological applications. In this study, we present a one-dimensional OMC with wings and a hole whose position is shifting sideways. Simulations of the photonic and phononic band diagrams show that the hole shift effectively controls the width and position of the band gaps. Furthermore, the hole shift also opens new photonic bandgaps that extend the frequency range with full photonic bandgaps. The width of the phononic bandgap is maximum for a hole shift

σ

0.28

to be 42% wider than without a hole shift. Despite large band movements induced by the hole shift, the average displacement is null, which means that the hole shift does not impact the photon and phonon density of states (DOS). These results can be used to optimize the design of optomechanical cavities for specific frequency range applications.
Rapid assessment of slope deformation in 3D point cloud considering feature-based simplification and deformed area extraction

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Calculating deformation values and determining deformation areas are essential for slope monitoring and safety management. Recently, terrestrial laser scanning has been widely used for deformation monitoring due to to its speed and efficiency. However, handling a large amount of point cloud data to obtain the deformed area is still challenging. To rapidly evaluate slope deformation information, this study proposes a simplification algorithm for point cloud data based on multi-parameter feature preservation. The proposed method retains feature points (i.e. inflection points and edge points) and simplifies data with the octree structure. In addition, a method based on cloud-to-mesh for displacement is used where the winding number is introduced for the signed function. Next, the deformed area over the level of detection is extracted using density-based spatial clustering for applications with a noise clustering algorithm. To verify the reduction method, two types of slope field data are used for experiments. The results reveal that the proposed point cloud approach is superior to the conventional algorithms. Furthermore, the highway slope in Mianyang is selected as a case study to validate the performance of the proposed method. The entire monitoring area is stable with a deformation of approximately 0.43 mm, and only four regions are deformed over the study period. When the mean displacement value is considered in different deformation regions, the minimum deformation is −82.02 mm and the maximum deformation is 85.31 mm. Moreover, comparative experiments on deformation calculation are conducted and reveal the superior performance of the proposed method.

Abstract

Objective. To examine the influence of the endotracheal tube (ETT) on respiratory reactance (Xrs) measured with the forced oscillation technique (FOT) and develop a correction method for it. Approach. In a bench study, the reactance of ETTs (Xtube) with different dimensions was measured on a breathing test lung in various respiratory settings. Main results. Xtube can be accurately predicted by a fitted formula, with an R2 of 0.97, with negligible effects due to changes in respiratory pattern and lung volume. Significance. The developed formula offers the ability to measure ETT-independent Xrs values of patients, improving the potential of FOT for lung function testing in mechanically ventilated newborns.
Monopolar and bipolar electrooculography signal characteristics due to target displacements—have we seen the whole picture?
Authors: Barbara Nathaniel , Camilleri Tracey A , Camilleri Kenneth P 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The development of electrooculography (EOG)-based human-computer interface systems is generally based on the processing of the commonly referred to horizontal and vertical bipolar EOG channels, which are computed from a horizontally-aligned and another vertically-aligned pair of electrodes, respectively. Horizontal (vertical) target displacements are assumed to result in changes in the horizontal (vertical) EOG channel only, and any cross-talk between the bipolar channels is often neglected or incorrectly attributed solely to electrode misalignment with respect to the ocular rotation axes. Objective. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that such cross-talk is intrinsic to the geometric relationship between the orientation of the verging ocular globes and the planar displacement of the gaze target with respect to the primary gaze position. Approach. Since it is difficult to record actual EOG data with electrodes which are perfectly-aligned with the ocular rotation axes, this is studied by simulating the EOG potential values for various horizontally- and vertically-displacing targets using a dipole model of the eye. Main results. We show that cross-talk between the horizontal and vertical bipolar EOG channels is manifested even if the electrodes are aligned with the ocular rotation axes. Specifically, for a horizontally- (vertically-)displaced target, while the monopolar EOG signals obtained from the horizontally- (vertically-)aligned electrodes exhibit an expected predominant potential displacement, a smaller displacement is also exhibited in the monopolar EOG signals obtained from the vertically- (horizontally-)aligned electrodes. These unexpected displacements in the vertically- (horizontally-)aligned monopolar channels may have different magnitudes, resulting in an effective potential displacement in the vertical (horizontal) bipolar EOG channel. Significance. This is significant as it shows that, unlike in many works published so far for EOG-based ocular pose estimation, it is not sufficient to only use the horizontal (vertical) bipolar EOG channel to estimate the horizontal (vertical) displacement of the ocular pose.
