Published: June 2023

AbstractInkjet printing has emerged as a promising low‐cost and high‐performance method for manufacturing printing‐based devices. However, the development of optimized substrates for inkjet printing using novel materials is limited. In this study, a novel polymeric substrate optimized for flexible electronic devices is fabricated using thin‐film processing and phase inversion of polyethersulfone (PES). The PES film consists of two layers of pores; the upper layer has nano‐sized pores that filter the nanoparticles in the conductive ink and allow for high‐density aggregation on the substrate, while the lower layer contains micro‐scale pores that quickly absorb and drain the ink solvent. The two porous structures lead to higher conductivity and high‐resolution printed patterns by minimizing solvent lateral diffusion. Additionally, the PES printing substrate can undergo high‐temperature curing of metal nanoparticles, enabling high‐resolution pattern printing with low resistance. The PES substrate is highly transparent and flexible, allowing for the fabrication of various printed electronic patterns and the production of high‐performance flexible electronic devices.

AbstractEmbedding multiple pharmaceutical drugs into poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers is known to improve the regeneration of the Achilles tendon upon implantation after injury and rapidly restore post‐surgery activity. In this study, an implantable material comprising celecoxib, collagen, bupivacaine, and PLGA (CCBP) is prepared by electrospinning. Its in vitro/vivo drug discharge behaviors are evaluated, and its efficacy in tendon regeneration is investigated in a rat model. The regeneration capacity of the wounded tendon is also compared with that of a doxycycline‐collagen‐bupivacaine‐PLGA (DCBP) combination. The results show that, relative to the primary PLGA nanofibers, the pharmaceutical‐embedded nanofibers have thinner fiber diameters and higher hydrophilicity. The drug‐eluting nanofibers also offer a sustained release of celecoxib for at least 30 d in vitro and 28 d in vivo. Achilles tendons regenerated using the CCBP combination nanofibers demonstrate a significantly higher maximum load‐to‐failure than normal tendons and those repaired using the DCBP combination. Additionally, the expression of growth factors and composition of collagen I induced by the CCBP combination are superior to those induced by the DCBP combination. The results suggest that the CCBP combination is a promising scaffold for the repair of ruptured Achilles tendons.
Do the same executive compensation strategies and policies fit all the firms in the banking industry? New empirical insights from the CEO pay–firm performance causal nexus
Authors: Olaniyi Clement Olalekan 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study introduces the roles of firms' intertwining and policy variations across firms in the CEO pay–bank performance causal relationships in Nigeria, using the Dumitrescu–Hurlin panel Granger non‐causality test and second‐generation estimators. The findings reveal that banks' interdependence, diverse strategies, and policies vary across banks. In 11 banks, CEO pay is not a reward for bank performance or an incentive to perform. Meanwhile, two banks utilize performance‐based pay for their CEOs, while the remaining two adopt CEO pay as a performance motivator. The study concludes that firms' interdependence and policy variations across firms influence the CEO pay–bank performance nexus.

AbstractIntroductionCREBBP truncating mutations and deletions are responsible for the well‐known Rubinstein‐Taybi syndrome. Recently, a new, distinct CREBBP‐linked syndrome has been described: missense mutations located at the 3′ end of exon 30 and the 5′ portion of exon 31 induce Menke‐Hennekam syndrome. Patients with this syndrome present a recognizable facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability of variable severity, microcephaly, short stature, autism, epilepsy, visual and hearing impairments, feeding problems, upper airway infections, scoliosis, and/or kyphosis. To date, all diagnoses were made postnatally.Method and Case ReportTrio‐whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in a fetus showing increased nuchal translucency persistence and aorta abnormalities at 28 weeks of gestation (WG).ResultsWES revealed a CREBBP de novo missense mutation (c.5602C>T; p.Arg1868Trp) in exon 31, previously reported as the cause of Menke‐Hennekam syndrome. Termination of pregnancy was performed at 32 WG. We further reviewed the prenatal signs of Menke‐Hennekam syndrome already reported. Among the 35 patients reported and diagnosed postnatally up to this day, 15 presented recognizable prenatal signs, the most frequent being intra‐uterine growth retardation, brain, and cardiovascular anomalies.ConclusionMenke‐Hennekam is a rare syndrome with unspecific, heterogeneous, and inconstant prenatal symptoms occurring most frequently with the c.5602C>T, p.(Arg1868Trp) mutation. Therefore, the prenatal diagnosis of Menke‐Hennekam syndrome is only possible by molecular investigation. Moreover, this case report and review reinforce the importance of performing prenatal WES when unspecific signs are present on imaging.
Terahertz wideband wave plates designed by stacking multilayered metasurface with different geometries
Authors: Zhang Zhuo , Gong Yandong , Pang Kai 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe use of metamaterials in terahertz (THz) polarization wave plates is widespread. Metallic metamaterials, however, typically operate within a constrained bandwidth and have a large ohmic loss. All‐dielectric metamaterials could address these issues. To achieve an ultrawide‐band at THz frequencies, a multilayered silicon metasurface with elliptical or rectangular pillars has been employed. According to simulations, the achromatic relative bandwidth of the dielectric metamaterial can remain flat within a broadband with the appropriate structural parameters. Additionally, a scoring system with error analysis is added to help with choosing the geometry of terahertz polarization wave plates with various layers of metasurface. Due to its flexible polarization control capability, the proposed multilayer metasurface may open the door for arbitrary phase delays of incident waves.
Analysis of temporal encoding efficiency of MR fingerprinting sequences
Authors: Guenthner Christian , Stimm Johanna , Kozerke Sebastian 
Published: June 2023

PurposeMR Fingerprinting (MRF) relies on highly‐undersampled images to simultaneously estimate multiple tissue parameters of interest. While a good understanding of the encoding principle behind MRF exists, we want to shed light on the question of when parameters are encoded during an MRF acquisition.Theory and MethodsWe analyze the importance of each time point by leaving it out during matching (leave‐one‐out, LOO) assuming linear reconstruction is applied and study its influence on the reconstructed parameter map. To accelerate the analysis, we treat LOO as a small perturbation (LOOP) to the full matching problem and derive an analytical formula by leveraging Stolk and Sbrizzi's analysis on the interplay of k‐space sampling and transient state dynamics. To study the influence of geometry and parameter distribution, we deploy LOOP on randomly sliced 3D brain geometries with randomized T1/T2 values to identify primary encoding regions independent of geometry.ResultsLOOP can be evaluated orders of magnitude faster than conventional matching and visualizes temporal encoding efficiency. We use the findings to accelerate an MRF sequence by truncation as well as to remove undersampling artifacts through an iterative omission scheme in an ill‐working MRF sequence in both in‐silico and in‐vivo experiments.ConclusionLOOP is an analytical approach to quantify and visualize parameter encoding in MRF.

Published: June 2023

PurposeTo improve intraoral transverse loop coil design for high‐resolution dental MRI.MethodsThe transverse intraoral loop coil (tLoop) was modified (mtLoop) by overlapping the feed port conductors, bending the posterior section, introducing a parallel plate capacitor, optimizing the insulation thickness, and using it in receive‐only mode. In addition, an MR‐silent insulation was introduced. The performances of the mtLoop and tLoop coils were compared in terms of sensitivity, image SNR, and eddy currents using electromagnetic simulations and MRI measurements at 3T.ResultsThe receive‐only mode of the mtLoop increases the sensitivity at the apices of the roots, and the overlapped feed port design eliminated signal voids along the incisors. The bent posterior section with the parallel plate capacitor reduced the unwanted signal of the tongue by a factor of 2.3 in the selected region off interest and lowered the eddy currents by 10%. The proposed new coil provided higher SNR by elevenfold and 2.5‐fold at the incisors and apices of the molar roots within the selected regions of interest, respectively, in the experiments, as well as improved comfort. Optimal insulation thickness was determined as 1 mm. With the mtLoop, a (250 μm)3 isotropic resolution of the dental arch could be realized using a UTE sequence within 2 min total acquisition time. A T2‐SPACE protocol with (350 μm)2 in‐plane resolution was also demonstrated.ConclusionThe proposed new coil offers higher SNR at the incisors and apices of the molar roots, less unwanted signals from tongue, lower eddy currents, and improved patient comfort.

Published: June 2023

AbstractAimsDespite recommendations in international clinical guidelines, lifestyle‐related treatment modalities (LRTMs) are currently underutilised in the conservative treatment of patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. This study aimed to identify implementation strategies in order to address barriers to implementing LRTMs from the perspective of healthcare professionals (HCPs).MethodsThe Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)‐Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) Implementation Strategy Matching Tool was applied. First, previously identified influencing factors among primary and secondary HCPs were mapped onto the corresponding CFIR constructs/subconstructs by two researchers. Second, the CFIR‐based barriers relevant for all HCPs were entered into the tool. Third, the CFIR‐based barriers specific to one or more subgroups of HCPs served as additional input for the tool. Finally, a selection of ERIC implementation strategies was made based on the tool's output.ResultsFourteen implementation strategies were selected. The strategy most endorsed by the tool was ‘build a coalition’. Eight of the selected strategies belonged to the ERIC cluster ‘develop stakeholder interrelationships’. Other strategies were part of the clusters ‘use evaluative and iterative strategies’ (n = 3), ‘utilise financial strategies’ (n = 2), and ‘engage consumers’ (n = 1).ConclusionsThe findings emphasise the importance of an interdisciplinary approach when addressing the implementation of LRTMs in osteoarthritis care. The final selection of implementation strategies forms the basis for a tailored implementation plan. Future work should focus on further operationalising the implementation strategies and evaluating the effectiveness of the resulting implementation plan.
Isogeometric gradient‐free proportional topology optimization (IGA‐PTO) for compliance problem
Authors: Vo Duy , Nguyen Minh Ngoc , Bui Tinh Quoc , Suttakul Pana , Rungamornrat Jaroon 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study presents the incorporation of the effective gradient‐free proportional topology optimization algorithm into the framework of isogeometric analysis. The minimization of the compliance is considered, and the solid isotropic material with penalization method is used. The geometry, displacements, and density are all described by non‐uniform rational B‐spline (NURBS) basis functions. The density at an integration point is determined proportionally to its compliance. Then, the NURBS description of the density is constructed elementwise by deriving a relation between densities assigned to integration points and control points. The global NURBS description of the density for the whole domain is a blend of those from elements. Furthermore, a multiresolution scheme is presented by means of ‐refinement technique to enable the efficient performance for large‐scale problems. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach are assessed through six numerical examples, including two‐ and three‐dimensional structures, with several rigorous tests and comparisons with the gradient‐based optimality criteria algorithm.

Published: June 2023

AbstractStable isotope‐based dietary reconstructions of late Holocene agriculturalists from Sabana de Bogotá (Colombia) are limited to the late Muisca period. Accordingly, the dietary patterns and feeding behaviors of people living during the Herrera and Early Muisca periods remain largely unknown. This study aims to present new stable isotope data to discuss the dietary patterns of agriculturalists inhabiting Nueva Esperanza (Sabana de Bogota) during the last 2300 years B.P. In addition, we present the radiocarbon chronology of the site to assess dietary change during the site occupation phases. Data for δ13Ccol and δ15Ncol were obtained from bone/dentine collagen and dental calculus from humans (n = 71) and faunal (n = 20) skeletal remains. The local isotopic ecology was investigated, and the human data were assessed by age, sex, and time period. Humans presented mostly mixed diets with a predominance of maize, supplemented by C3 resources (plants and animals), although some individuals exhibited distinct trends across the C3–C4 range. According to isotopic ecology and other lines of archaeological evidence, maize and C3 resources (plants and animals) mostly contributed to the human diets, whereas C4‐feeding animals were less important resources. Bone/dentine collagen and calculus isotope data revealed only minor differences among age groups, sexes, and periods suggesting relatively homogeneous diets at the NE society throughout the late Holocene. Likewise, both kinds of isotopic data display distinct dietary trends suggesting the effect of postmortem processes in the isotopic composition of dental calculus. The isotopic evidence for the NE site suggests similar diachronic trajectories of dietary specializations at the regional level and minor differences regarding maize incorporation into the diet and its standardized use and consumption. These results suggest at the regional level similar patterns of dietary change at the Sabana de Bogotá during the late Holocene.

AbstractObjectiveTo localize structural laryngeal lesions within digital flexible laryngoscopic images and to classify them as benign or suspicious for malignancy using state‐of‐the‐art computer vision detection models.Study DesignCross‐sectional diagnostic studySettingTertiary care voice clinicMethodsDigital stroboscopic videos, demographic and clinical data were collected from patients evaluated for a structural laryngeal lesion. Laryngoscopic images were extracted from videos and manually labeled with bounding boxes encompassing the lesion. Four detection models were employed to simultaneously localize and classify structural laryngeal lesions in laryngoscopic images. Classification accuracy, intersection over union (IoU) and mean average precision (mAP) were evaluated as measures of classification, localization, and overall performance, respectively.ResultsIn total, 8,172 images from 147 patients were included in the laryngeal image dataset. Classification accuracy was 88.5 for individual laryngeal images and increased to 92.0 when all images belonging to the same sequence (video) were considered. Mean average precision across all four detection models was 50.1 using an IoU threshold of 0.5 to determine successful localization.ConclusionResults of this study showed that deep neural network‐based detection models trained using a labeled dataset of digital laryngeal images have the potential to classify structural laryngeal lesions as benign or suspicious for malignancy and to localize them within an image. This approach provides valuable insight into which part of the image was used by the model to determine a diagnosis, allowing clinicians to independently evaluate models' predictions.
How can we tackle interruptions to human–wildlife feeding management? Adding media campaigns to the wildlife manager's toolbox

Published: June 2023

AbstractIn recent years, wildlife managers have been seeking ways to reduce the occurrence of independent, recreational human–wildlife feeding interactions, which continue to gain global popularity and may have negative effects for the humans and wildlife involved. Current popular methods, such as signage and posters, have yielded mixed results and their application is often interrupted, although the effects of these interruptions on feeding levels are currently unknown. This has led to calls to both identify a management option that can be applied successfully from a distance and to determine whether this action may assist in recovering long‐term programmes from the potential effects of interruptions. Marketing and media tools have been shown to successfully change human behaviours in conservation campaigns, flagging them as a potential tool that could be applied to human–wildlife feeding management.Here, we performed a 4‐year study using a wild fallow deer population in a popular urban green space as our model system. We tracked changes in human feeding behaviours across four different management stages. These included premanagement (stage 1), during traditional management (i.e. ‘don't feed the deer’ signage, stage 2), mid‐interruption (i.e. COVID‐19 pandemic, stage 3) and during the application of a structured media campaign (stage 4).We found that feeding by visitors decreased during traditional management (stage 2), but rapidly returned to premanagement levels during the interruption (stage 3) despite traditional controls still being in place. However, we discovered that feeding dropped significantly after the release of a media campaign (stage 4), despite the audience and conditions being unchanged. We also identified which imagery and educational messages resonated with viewers; information that can be applied to future campaigns in other locations.We, therefore, recommend that wildlife managers both investigate and be prepared for the negative effects that interruptions of any type (e.g. the recent COVID‐19 pandemic, other interruptions to funding) may have on ongoing management campaigns of this ilk. We recommend that media campaigns be explored as a potential tool to reduce the occurrence of the unregulated feeding of wildlife by humans in these sites, thereby promoting better human–wildlife coexistence.Read the freePlain Language Summaryfor this article on the Journal blog.
Investigations of aryl substituents electronic effects in the catalytic behavior of thermostable α‐diimine nickel (II) catalyst on ethylene polymerization
Authors: Issaabadi Zahra , Arabi Hassan , Karimi Majid 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn α‐diimine‐based catalytic systems, it is highly challenging to increase the thermal stability of the α‐diimine Ni(II) catalyst. In this work, we are focused on examining the polymerization of ethylene by a number of α‐diimine Ni(II) complexes with camphyl backbone and various electron‐donating and withdrawing substituents as catalysts. The synthesized camphyl‐based ligands were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, HH correlation spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR), and elemental analysis. The formation of the Ni(II) complexes was approved by the far infrared (Far‐IR) and energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). The Box–Behnken method was used to select the optimal polymerization conditions. The ligand electronic effect on the catalytic activity of Ni(II) complexes in ethylene polymerization was systematically investigated. All of the synthesized complexes were active in ethylene polymerization with activities at 105 g of polyethylenes (PE) (mol of Ni h)−1. The electron‐withdrawing substituent catalyst exhibited high activity in ethylene polymerization.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe inferior delamination resistance and out‐of‐plane performance of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are of serious concerns. This work employs two modification methods, namely metal surface's chemical pre‐treatment and nano Al2O3 embedded interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) formation for improving the delamination resistance of aluminum and glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite‐based FMLs. The synergetic effect of the two modification techniques resulted in high degrees of improvement in delamination resistance that were ~28% for critical strain energy release rate during mode‐I interlaminar fracture toughness (ILFT), that is (GIC) and ~37% for GIIC. Simultaneously, the flexural strength, tensile strength, and interlaminar shear strength improved by ~23%, ~17%, and ~24%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and surface energy measurement studies showed that the chemical pre‐treatment significantly influenced the surface morphology, surface roughness, and surface energy responses of aluminum, respectively. Fractographic study validated the effect of modification methods on the failure behavior under various testing modes.
