Least-squares reverse-time migration in VTI media using a T-distribution-based misfit function
Authors: Guo Xu , Tan Qiang , Li Xinjun , Huang Jianping , Ma Zenghu 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Anisotropy of subsurface media can affect the seismic wave travel time estimates, and then affect the imaging of target regions. To calibrate the effect of anisotropy, a VTI (transverse isotropy media with vertical symmetry axis) least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) algorithm is used. However, if seismic data contains noise especially the outliers, the high-quality images cannot be produced by LSRTM based on an L2 norm. Considering that Student's t-distribution has better robustness than the L2 norm, this study derives a VTI-LSRTM algorithm based on Student's t-distribution (T-VTI-LSRTM) misfit function. The plane-wave encoding is introduced into the T-VTI-LSRTM to improve the computational efficiency. We conduct numerical tests using the complex models to illustrate the effectiveness and adaptability of the method. The sensitivity analysis of velocity and anisotropy parameters demonstrate that anisotropy and velocity parameters have a distinct effect on imaging results, in which velocity sensitivity is the strongest, then the epsilon and parameter delta sensitivity is the weakest.
Seismic geomorphological analysis of channel types: a case study from the Miocene Malay Basin
Authors: Manshor Nurul Adilah , Amir Hassan Meor Hakif 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Imaging the subsurface is a major challenge due to many aspects; the most notable is the resolution of the data, which often leads to misinterpretation of reservoir behaviour and depositional environment. Even with the robust tools available to precisely model the subsurface reservoir and depositional architecture, a precise result is still incorrect if derived from an inaccurate subsurface description. Recent advances in 3D seismic geomorphology analytical methods, particularly the application of root mean square (RMS) and frequency decomposition analysis, have enabled detailed imaging, description and classification of subsurface channel networks. Typically, it is easier to image shallow subsurface channels (&lt;500 m depth), but it gets increasingly challenging to recognize channel features at subsurface depths ≥1.5 km. This paper presents the characterization of channel features imaged from such depths within the Miocene section of the Malay Basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. An integrated dataset from a selected area in the central region of the Malay Basin was used for this study, including a high-quality 3D seismic cube (1563 km2) and data from one well penetrating the Miocene section of the Malay Basin. We have identified five seismic geobody groups and 10 channel types from both planform and cross-section views. The dimensions, shapes, sinuosities and thicknesses of these channel types vary. Additionally, they display various seismic characteristics in cross-section and planform views. Variability in channel geometries is related to the complex interplay between fluvial and marine processes.

Abstract
Vesical calculus is a common condition with familiar aetiology in our environment as it is obtained in other parts of the world. Notwithstanding, uncommon aetiology of this pathology still exists though rarely encountered especially where out-of-pocket payment is the norm for accessing health care services. This is a report of three patients with varying indications for indwelling vesical catheter insertion via urethral or suprapubic route and who developed vesical calculus from prolonged and neglected indwelling vesical catheter. These cases are indeed an enigma in contemporary surgical patient care. We share our experience in the care of these patients and to underscore the extra role expected of health care providers in adequate patient education, close attention to guidance and counseling during patients’ visits to health facilities.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Depending on the size and location, defects resulting from the surgical procedure due to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) may be challenging to reconstruct. A combination of more than one flap type might be necessary for moderate to large-sized defects, especially in face lesions. We present a patient with a large BCC in the nasal region, successfully closed using a combination of rotation and advancement flaps. The patient showed excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Authors: Menon Sowmya Prasanna Kumar , Wachira Lianne , Srinivasan Lakshmi 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Malformations of the bronchopulmonary foregut can lead to the formation of bronchogenic mediastinal cysts (BMC). BMC are rare congenital malformations usually found in the middle or posterior mediastinum. Only one-third of patients with BMC are symptomatic. We report a case of BMC in a 48-year-old female who was referred to the cardiothoracic surgeons due to an incidental finding of an anterior mediastinal mass on investigation for intermittent chest pain. The mass was treated surgically with a partial median sternotomy and mass excision. The patient’s symptomology and mass histology were atypical for BMC. At follow-up, the patient reported no residual symptoms. This case demonstrates the significance of considering BMC, especially the anterior subtype, as a differential diagnosis in the findings of patients with intermittent chest pain and computerized tomography findings of a mediastinal mass.
Maturation of pathogenic biofilms induces enhanced resistance against gaseous chlorine dioxide
Authors: Kim Se-Yeon , Park SangHyun 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBiofilms are surface-associated microbial clusters embedded in extracellular polymeric substances. Biofilms formed on food-contact surfaces create challenges for the food industry due to their increased tolerance to antimicrobial agents and disinfectants. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the biofilm maturation period on their resistance to gaseous ClO2. Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonellaserotype Typhimurium, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilms formed on stainless steel (SS) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) surfaces were investigated. The total cell mass and protein content significantly increased (P &lt; .05) between the second and the fifth day of maturation, and the biofilms’ resistance to gaseous ClO2 increased as they matured. Generally, the cell counts of 0-day-old L. monocytogenes, Salm. Typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 biofilms on SS and HDPE reduced below the detection limit (0.48 log CFU/cm2) within 5 min. The cell counts of 2-day-old biofilms of the three pathogens were reduced by 6.22 to over 7.52 log, while those of 5-day-old biofilms were reduced by 3.64 to over 6.34 log after 20 min of treatment with 30 ppmv of gaseous ClO2. Therefore, as resistance increases with biofilm maturation, daily gaseous ClO2 treatment would maximize the antimicrobial efficacy of the cleaning strategy against biofilms.
Case Report: Eustachian Tube Dysfunction after Penetrating Facial Trauma
Authors: LaBanc Austin J , Schlocker Caroline 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT
Traumatic conductive hearing loss (TCHL) is most commonly attributed to tympanic membrane perforations, hemotympanum, or ossicular chain disruption. These complications are generally managed conservatively for up to 6 months with good hearing outcomes. We encountered a case of penetrating facial trauma leading to TCHL because of obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (OETD), which is not a previously described etiology for OETD and TCHL. A lysis of scar tissue surrounding the Eustachian tube with balloon dilation was performed in our patient, resulting in resolution of conductive hearing loss. In the absence of traditional signs of TCHL, providers should consider OETD as a potential cause of TCHL. We recommend visualization of the Eustachian tube orifice and balloon dilation if clinically indicated.
Relativistic force-free models of the thermal X-ray emission in millisecond pulsars observed by NICER

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTJPSeveral important properties of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (MSPs), such as their mass-radius ratio, equation of state and magnetic field topology, can be inferred from precise observations and modelling of their X-ray light curves. In the present study, we model the thermal X-ray signals originated in MSPs, all the way from numerically solving the surrounding magnetospheres up to the ray tracing of the emitted photons and the final computation of their light curves and spectra. The magnetosphere is solved by performing general relativistic force-free simulations of a rotating neutron star (NS) endowed with a simple centred dipolar magnetic field, for many different stellar compactness and pulsar misalignments. From these solutions, we derive an emissivity map over the surface of the star, based on the electric currents in the magnetosphere. In particular, the emission regions (ERs) are determined in this model by spacelike four-currents that reach the NS. We show that this assumption, together with the inclusion of the gravitational curvature on the force-free simulations, lead to non-standard ERs facing the closed-zone of the pulsar, in addition to other ERs within the polar caps. The combined X-ray signals from these two kinds of ERs (both antipodal) allow to approximate the non-trivial interpulses found in several MSPs light curves. Our modelled X-ray signals are compared against very accurate NICER observations of four target pulsars: PSR J043-4715, PSR J1231-1411, PSR J2124-3358, and PSR J0030 + 0451; achieving very good simultaneous fits for their light curves and spectral distributions.
3D MHD models of the centrifugal magnetosphere from a massive star with an oblique dipole field

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT
We present results from new self-consistent 3D magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of the magnetospheres from massive stars with a dipole magnetic axis that has a non-zero obliquity angle (β) to the star’s rotation axis. As an initial direct application, we compare the global structure of co-rotating discs for nearly aligned (β = 5°) versus half-oblique (β = 45°) models, both with moderately rapid rotation (∼0.5 critical). We find that accumulation surfaces broadly resemble the forms predicted by the analytical rigidly rotating magnetosphere model, but the mass buildup to near the critical level for centrifugal breakout against magnetic confinement distorts the field from the imposed initial dipole. This leads to an associated warping of the accumulation surface towards the rotational equator, with the highest density concentrated in wings centred on the intersection between the magnetic and rotational equators. These MHD models can be used to synthesize rotational modulation of photometric absorption and H α emission for a direct comparison with observations.
The role of radial migration on tracing lithium evolution in the Galactic disc

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTWith the calculated guiding centre radius Rguiding and birth radius Rbirth, we investigate the role of radial migration on the description of lithium evolution in the Galactic disc based on the upper envelope of the A(Li) versus [Fe/H] diagram. Using migration distances, we find that stars in the solar neighbourhood are born at different locations in the Galactic disc, and cannot all be explained by models of chemical evolution in the solar neighbourhood. It is found that the upper envelope of the A(Li) versus [Fe/H] diagram varies significantly with Rbirth, which explains the decrease of Li for super-metal-rich (SMR) stars because they are non-young stars born in the inner disc. The upper envelope of Li-Rbirth plane fits very well with chemical evolution models by Grisoni et al. for Rbirth = 7–12 kpc, outside which young stars generally lack sufficient time to migrate to the solar neighbourhood. For stars born in the solar neighbourhood, the young open clusters and the upper envelope of field stars with age &lt;3 Gyr fit well with theoretical prediction. We find that calculations using stars with ages less than 3 Gyr are necessary to obtain an undepleted Li upper envelope, and that stars with solar age (around 4.5 Gyr) have depleted around 0.3 dex from the original value based on the chemical evolution model of Grisoni et al.
The orbital solution and dynamical masses of the binary system V* PX Virginis
Authors: Wang Xiaoli , Xia Fang , Fu Yanning 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
V* PX Vir is a nearby single-lined spectroscopic binary with the primary being a variable of a BY Dra-type star. It has a period of ∼216 d and the components of the system are two low-mass pre-main-sequence stars. By a simultaneous least-squares fit to the radial velocities, the relative positions, and the revised Hipparcos intermediate astrometric data, the complete orbital solution is derived and the precision is improved significantly. In addition, the Hipparcos parallax is revised as 46.06±0.69 mas. Taking advantage of the resulting orbital elements and parallax, the component masses are calculated to be 0.74±0.06 M⊙ and 0.47±0.02 M⊙, respectively. The absolute magnitudes in the K and H bands are determined as 4.32±0.14, 4.42±0.03 for the primary and 5.63±0.46, 6.08±0.03 for the secondary, respectively. According to the derived physical parameters, the two components of the system lie very close to the same isochrone age 0.1–0.14 Gyr by comparison with pre-main-sequence evolution tracks.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Symbiotic microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) produce both conserved microbial molecules that activate plant defense and lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) that modulate plant defense. Beside a well-established role of LCOs in the activation of a signaling pathway required for AMF penetration in roots, LCO perception and defense modulation during arbuscular mycorrhiza is not well understood. Here we show that members of the LYRIIIA phylogenetic group from the multigenic Lysin Motif Receptor-Like Kinase family have a conserved role in dicotyledons as modulators of plant defense and regulate AMF colonization in the Solanaceae species Nicotiana benthamiana. Interestingly, these proteins have a high-affinity for LCOs in plant species able to form a symbiosis with AMF but have lost this property in species that have lost this ability. Our data support the hypothesis that LYRIIIA proteins modulate plant defense upon LCO perception to facilitate AMF colonization in mycotrophic plant species and that only their role in plant defense, but not their ability to be regulated by LCOs, has been conserved in non-mycotrophic plants.
Building a resilient coexistence with wildlife in a more crowded world
Authors: Carter Neil H , Linnell John D C 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
There is an urgent need to sustainably coexist with wildlife. However, realizing this goal is hampered by scant understanding of the processes that facilitate and maintain coexistence. Here, we synthesize human–wildlife interactions into eight archetypal outcomes, from eradication to sustained co-benefits, which collectively serve as a heuristic for forms of coexistence across a wide range of species and systems worldwide. We utilize resilience theory to elucidate how and why human–wildlife systems shift between these archetypes, yielding insights on research and policy priorities. We underscore the importance of governance structures that actively enhance the resilience of coexistence.

Abstract
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is arguably the most effective intervention for treatment-resistant depression. While large interindividual variability exists, a theory capable of explaining individual response to ECT remains elusive. To address this, we posit a quantitative, mechanistic framework of ECT response based on Network Control Theory (NCT). Then, we empirically test our approach and employ it to predict ECT treatment response. To this end, we derive a formal association between Postictal Suppression Index (PSI)—an ECT seizure quality index—and whole-brain modal and average controllability, NCT metrics based on white-matter brain network architecture, respectively. Exploiting the known association of ECT response and PSI, we then hypothesized an association between our controllability metrics and ECT response mediated by PSI. We formally tested this conjecture in N = 50 depressive patients undergoing ECT. We show that whole-brain controllability metrics based on pre-ECT structural connectome data predict ECT response in accordance with our hypotheses. In addition, we show the expected mediation effects via PSI. Importantly, our theoretically motivated metrics are at least on par with extensive machine learning models based on pre-ECT connectome data. In summary, we derived and tested a control-theoretic framework capable of predicting ECT response based on individual brain network architecture. It makes testable, quantitative predictions regarding individual therapeutic response, which are corroborated by strong empirical evidence. Our work might constitute a starting point for a comprehensive, quantitative theory of personalized ECT interventions rooted in control theory.

Since its emergence in the 1990s, the invasive pathogen Phytophthora ramorum has spread in Europe and the west coast of North America, causing sudden oak death in the United States and sudden larch death in the United Kingdom, resulting in the mortality or destruction of millions of trees. Due to its invasive nature, its damage potential, its wide host range, and its ability to disseminate via the plant trade, P. ramorum has been placed on quarantine lists worldwide. Rapid and reliable detection of the pathogen and identification of its lineages are crucial to limit spread and inform mitigation and eradication efforts. SODplex, a suite of new multiplex real-time PCR tools, was developed to streamline the detection and identification of P. ramorum. It offers four multiplexed assays covering different use cases. SODplex-base combines primers and probes for the sensitive and accurate detection of Phytophthora spp. and P. ramorum. SODplex-ITS and SODplex-mito offer a single-step identification of P. ramorum and the EU1, NA1, and NA2 lineages present in the United States and Canada. SODplex-lin targets each of the four P. ramorum lineages present in Europe and North America in a single reaction. The assays have high levels of accuracy and are robust to the use of different instruments, different operators, and different temperatures. The redundancy within the assays reduces the likelihood of false negatives and false positives. The SODplex assays presented here improve the toolbox available for the detection of P. ramorum and its lineages. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).

AbstractOxidative stress increases the production of the predominant mucin MUC5AC in airway epithelial cells and is implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Oxidative stress impairs mitochondria, releasing mitochondrial DNA into the cytoplasm and inducing inflammation through the intracytoplasmic DNA sensor STING (stimulator of interferon genes). However, the role of innate immunity in mucin production remains unknown. We aimed to elucidate the role of innate immunity in mucin production in airway epithelial cells under oxidative stress. Human airway epithelial cell line (NCI‐H292) and normal human bronchial epithelial cells were used to confirm MUC5AC expression levels by real‐time PCR when stimulated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). MUC5AC transcriptional activity was increased and mitochondrial DNA was released into the cytosol by H2O2. Mitochondrial antioxidants were used to confirm the effects of mitochondrial oxidative stress where antioxidants inhibited the increase in MUC5AC transcriptional activity. Cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS) or STING knockout (KO) cells were generated to investigate their involvement. H2O2‐induced MUC5AC expression was suppressed in STING KO cells, but not in cGAS KO cells. The epidermal growth factor receptor was comparably expressed in STING KO and wild‐type cells. Thus, mitochondria and STING play important roles in mucin production in response to oxidative stress in airway epithelial cells.
