Aim: This research aimed at investigating the applicability of linear measurements of Bicoronoid (BRB) and Bimental Breadth (BMB) of mandible in sex determination in four geo-political zones in Nigerian.
Study Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study was adopted for this research.
Place and Duration of Study: Anthropometric data were obtained from adult mandibles from selected medical schools across four geo-political zones in Nigeria from January to June 2021.
Methodology: 52 males and 30 females mandibles were used for this study. Bicoronoid Breadth (BRB) and Bimental Breadth (BMB) were measured using vernier caliper and data analyzed using SPSS IBM version 23.0.
Results: Descriptive analysis of BRB and BMB showed higher mean values for males 98.25mm and 45.79mm than females 90.99mm and 44.03mm respectively. Independent t-test analysis of the parameters showed significant sexual difference at 95% confident interval. The discriminant function analysis sufficiently discriminated sex and after cross-validation, BRB accurately predicted 82.7% males and 53.3% females while BMB accurately predicted 84.6% males and 26.7% females.
Conclusion: Bicoronoid and Bimental breadth measurements of mandible are recommended for sex determination in forensic investigation due to its role in sexual dimorphism.

ImportanceLittle is known about the potential implications of the rapid transition to telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD).ObjectiveTo examine the association between telemedicine adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic and indicators of OUD treatment quality.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study analyzed deidentified administrative claims data from OptumLabs Data Warehouse. Claims for telemedicine visits were included for both the prepandemic period (March 14, 2019, to March 13, 2020) and pandemic period (March 14, 2020, to March 13, 2021). Patients with OUD and continuous enrollment in either commercial insurance or Medicare Advantage plans were included. Clinicians who provided office-based OUD care were included and categorized into low, medium, or high telemedicine use groups. Patients were attributed to the clinician (and corresponding telemedicine use group) from whom they received a plurality of OUD visits.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe 4 outcomes were all outpatient visits, OUD visits (in person vs telemedicine) within 90 days of an index visit, medications for OUD (MOUD) prescribing, and OUD-related clinical events (including drug overdose, inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation center stay, or injection drug use–related infections).ResultsThe analysis included 11 801 patients (mean [SD] age, 53.9 [15.7] years; 5902 males [50.0%]) who were treated by 1768 clinicians. Clinicians with low vs high telemedicine use conducted a mean (SD) of 2.1% (2.5%) vs 69.5% (18.6%) of their office visits virtually in the pandemic period. While telemedicine use for OUD increased significantly from the prepandemic to pandemic periods, total OUD visit volume (in person plus telemedicine) per patient episode remained stable among both high (2.6 to 2.7 visits per patient episode) and low (3.1 to 3.3 visits per patient episode) telemedicine use groups. In adjusted analyses comparing the prepandemic with pandemic periods, there was no differential change in MOUD initiation (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.00; 95% CI, 0.84-1.19), MOUD days’ supply (differential change in days’ supply, –0.27; 95% CI, –1.84 to 1.30), or OUD-related clinical events (adjusted OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.73-1.24) among patients who were treated by clinicians in low vs high telemedicine use groups.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this study revealed that clinical outcomes were similar among patients who were treated by clinicians with high and low telemedicine use during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that telemedicine is a comparable alternative to in-person OUD care. There was no evidence that telemedicine was associated with increased access to or improved quality of OUD treatment.

AbstractLittle is known about the factors that facilitate the perpetration of sexual violence within the context of same‐sex romantic relationships (sexual intimate partner violence perpetration [S‐IPV]). The present study sought to identify the effects of external and internal minority stress and problematic drinking on perpetration of S‐IPV within a dyadic framework. A community‐based sample of 137 sexual and gender minority (SGM) couples (N = 274; 59 male assigned at birth and 78 female assigned at birth couples) completed self‐report surveys about minority stressors, alcohol use, and S‐IPV perpetration. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted within an actor‐partner interdependence framework. This approach accounted for both actor effects (e.g., how much one's S‐IPV perpetration is predicted by their own risk factors) and partner effects (e.g., how much one's S‐IPV perpetration is influenced by their partner's risk factors). Both Actor external minority stress and internal minority stress were positively associated with Actor S‐IPV perpetration. Actor problematic drinking was not associated with Actor S‐IPV perpetration; however, Partner problematic drinking was positively associated with Actor S‐IPV perpetration. Observed effects were robust above the addition of other risk factors. This research innovatively extricates S‐IPV perpetration from other forms of IPV and indicates that Actor minority stress and Partner problematic drinking increase S‐IPV likelihood. Results serve as a starting point for development of etiological models to inform the design of culturally‐informed interventions to reduce S‐IPV among SGM couples.

ObjectiveTo estimate direct and indirect costs associated with neuropsychiatric (NP) events in the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics inception cohort.MethodsNP events were documented annually using American College of Rheumatology definitions for NP events and attributed to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or non‐SLE causes. Patients were stratified into 1 of 3 NP states (no, resolved, or new/ongoing NP event). Change in NP status was characterized by interstate transition rates using multistate modeling. Annual direct costs and indirect costs were based on health care use and impaired productivity over the preceding year. Annual costs associated with NP states and NP events were calculated by averaging all observations in each state and adjusted through random‐effects regressions. Five‐ and 10‐year costs for NP states were predicted by multiplying adjusted annual costs per state by expected state duration, forecasted using multistate modeling.ResultsA total of 1,697 patients (49% White race/ethnicity) were followed for a mean of 9.6 years. NP events (n = 1,971) occurred in 956 patients, 32% attributed to SLE. For SLE and non‐SLE NP events, predicted annual, 5‐, and 10‐year direct costs and indirect costs were higher in new/ongoing versus no events. Direct costs were 1.5‐fold higher and indirect costs 1.3‐fold higher in new/ongoing versus no events. Indirect costs exceeded direct costs 3.0 to 5.2 fold. Among frequent SLE NP events, new/ongoing seizure disorder and cerebrovascular disease accounted for the largest increases in annual direct costs. For non‐SLE NP events, new/ongoing polyneuropathy accounted for the largest increase in annual direct costs, and new/ongoing headache and mood disorder for the largest increases in indirect costs.ConclusionPatients with new/ongoing SLE or non‐SLE NP events incurred higher direct and indirect costs.

Authors: Yu Zhengyan , Liu Chun , Wang Xiaofan , Ren Xiaoqiang 
Published: January 2023

SummaryThe purpose of this study is to discuss the fully distributed design of output estimation error observer and fault‐tolerant consensus tracking control for a class of multi‐agent systems with Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics and actuator faults. Firstly, based on the relative output measurements of neighboring agents, the distributed output estimation error observer is developed to adaptively estimate the state and fault information of each agent, and further overcome the difficulties of online updating the adaptive estimations of unknown hyper‐parameters. Secondly, to achieve the state consensus tracking goal and compensate for the negative effects of actuator faults, the distributed fault‐tolerant consensus tracking control scheme is proposed on the basis of the state estimation and adaptive fault estimation information, and has excellent robustness and consensus tracking control performance. Moreover, sufficient criteria can ensure that consensus tracking error of each agent converges to a small set near the origin. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed fully distributed algorithm.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe exploitation of natural materials has received growing attention because of the needs of environmental sustainability. In contrast to petroleum‐based synthetic materials, natural materials possess significant advantages of abundant, low‐cost, degradable, and renewable. Here, the recent research status of natural materials as flexible substrate, cathode interfacial material, and anode interfacial material for organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are first presented. Then, the confronted key challenges that limit the widespread application of natural materials for OPVs is summarized, including complex multilength scaled aggregation morphology, non‐conjugated structure, and unclear working mechanism. Finally, their potential solutions from the perspective of chemical structure are proposed for constructing efficient OPVs. It is believed that natural materials have a broad landscape in low‐cost and green manufacturing technology for OPVs in the future.

AbstractPsoriasis is an immune‐mediated chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by epidermal hyperplasia and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Even though the pathogenesis remains unclear, T helper 17 (Th17) cells‐mediated inflammation and keratinocyte‐involved proliferation are considered to play key roles during the occurrence and the development of psoriasis. Therefore, suppressing the infiltration/function of Th17 and the abnormal hyperplasia of keratinocytes can be a rational strategy for ameliorating and treating psoriasis. In this study, a self‐assembly nanoparticle (BVn) is developed with bilirubin (an endogenous antioxidant) and V9302 (a blocker of ASCT2, an amino acid transporter mediating glutamine influx for providing energy and activating mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR] pathway) to intervene the local metabolism and alleviate oxidative stress for psoriasis treatment. BVn effectively suppresses inflammatory keratinocyte proliferation and scavenges excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the in vivo psoriasis mouse model, BVn shows increased permeation and delayed retention in the psoriatic lesion and reverses the psoriasis‐related symptoms, evidenced by the normalized keratinocyte condition and decreased Th17 infiltration/activation. Mechanism study indicates that BVn not only cut off the energy supply but also suppressed cell proliferation or lymph cell expansion by deactivating mTOR pathway, besides alleviated oxidative stress. BVn‐based glutamine metabolism modulation strategy offers a promising strategy for psoriasis therapy.

Published: January 2023

AbstractIn order to improve the high‐temperature friction and wear properties of polyimide (PI), Mo2CTx/PI nanocomposite materials are prepared by using 2D Mo2CTx MXene as reinforcement. Compared with the properties of pure PI, Mo2CTx/PI nanocomposites exhibit significant improvement on thermal stability, hardness, and tribological performance. Especially, the addition of Mo2CTx can reduce friction coefficient and wear rate of PI significantly at different temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to 200 °C. The hardness and the thermo‐degradation temperature of composites increase due to the formation of an organic inorganic structure. In addition, this structure helps to form a protective film containing Mo2CTx nanoflakes, iron oxide, molybdenum oxide, and organic compounds during friction, and improve the tribological properties of PI composite.

Published: January 2023

AbstractPlasmonic absorbers, featured by unique capability of broadband light absorption and nanoscale optical concentration, have long been regarded as ideal candidates for self‐floating interfacial solar evaporation yet suffering from low energy transfer efficiency because of poor thermal localization. In this work, by implanting an ion beam exfoliation of the continuous metallic film from the gold/nanoporous alumina template (Au/NPT), the all‐dielectric insulated plasmonic absorbers are demonstrated as efficient self‐floating interfacial solar evaporators with measured efficiency of ≈80% under one sun, which shows a ≈20% increment to conventional Au/NPT and is comparable to mainstream complicated carbon‐based evaporators with external thermal insulators. The enhanced energy transfer process can be ascribed to synergistic effect of plasmon‐enhanced solar absorption, broadband light induced thermal localization and/or insulation, as well as efficient mass transport channels. The results here would provide a new insight in underlying understanding and inspire further development of plasmonic solar thermal conversion.
High‐Performance Black Phosphorus Field‐Effect Transistors with Controllable Channel Orientation
Authors: Wang Junqi , Liu Wei , Wang Chunqing 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBlack phosphorus (BP) receives extensive attention in many fields such as energy storage, microelectronics, and optoelectronics due to its layer‐controlled direct bandgap, excellent carrier mobility, and unique anisotropy. However, in practical applications, atmospheric degradation and the random channel orientation make the actual performance of BP much lower than the theoretical value. Here, clean and complete BP nanosheets with large size and high crystal quality are obtained by poly(dimethylsiloxane)‐assisted mechanical exfoliation. Then, angle‐resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy is used to distinguish the armchair (AC) orientation of BP and a field‐effect transistor (FET) with controllable channel direction can improve the carrier mobility of the device (up to 826.2 cm2 V−1 s−1) because of higher mobility along the AC orientation. Due to the tunneling of electrons through the electron barrier into the conduction band of BP under a positive gate voltage, the transistor possesses a bipolar transport property. In addition, with the change of channel thickness, both the impurity scattering of the substrate and the interlayer resistance will affect the movement of carriers, so the carrier mobility of the device increases first and then decreases with the increase of the channel thickness.

Published: January 2023

AbstractMonitoring net ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange (NEE) using eddy covariance (EC) flux towers is quite common, but the measurements are valid at the scale of tower footprints. Alternative ways to quantify and extrapolate EC‐measured NEE across potential production areas have not been explored in detail. To address this need, we used NEE measurements from a switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) ecosystem and detailed meteorological measurements from the Oklahoma Mesonet and developed empirical relationships for quantifying seasonal (April to October) sums of NEE across potential switchgrass establishment landscapes in Oklahoma, USA. We identified ensemble areas for potential switchgrass expansion regions and created thematic maps of switchgrass productivity using geostatistics and geographic information systems (GIS) routines. The purpose of this study was to explore if model parametrizations based on high temporal frequency meteorological forcing can be used for reliable estimates of NEE for evaluating the source–sink status of carbon. Rectangular hyperbolic light‐response curve and temperature response functions were fitted using EC measurements to estimate gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER), respectively, on a seasonal scale. Model performance validated by comparing EC‐measured seasonal NEE for 3 yr showed good‐to‐strong agreement (.29 < R2 < .91; p < .05). Additionally, total seasonal NEE estimates were validated with measured biomass data in three additional locations. The estimated seasonal average net ecosystem production (NEP = −NEE) was 3.97 ± 1.92 (SD) Mg C ha−1. However, results based on a simple linear model suggested significant differences in NEP between contrasting climatic years. Overall, the results from this study indicate that this new scaling‐up approach involving high temporal resolution meteorological data may be a helpful tool for assessing spatiotemporal heterogeneity of switchgrass production and the potential of switchgrass fields to sequester carbon in the Southern Great Plains of the United States.
The effect of product quantity on willingness to pay: A meta‐regression analysis of beef valuation studies
Authors: Lin Wen 
Published: January 2023

AbstractStated preference methods in food economics typically focus on willingness to pay for high food quality of a fixed product quantity, ignoring the role of product quantity on welfare estimates. This study demonstrates that product quantity matters in beef valuation studies both theoretically and empirically. We find that when product quantity can be chosen freely by individuals, the price premium for improved quality per beef product decreases with beef product quantity. A meta‐regression analysis conducted on beef valuation studies shows the extent of the impact of product quantity. When beef product quantity increases by 100 g, the percentage price premium declines by 2−4 percentage points, which differs across model specifications and samples. The implications for willingness to pay estimates and the design of stated preference methods are discussed in line with the results. [EconLit Citations: D10, D60, Q18].
