Authors: Ahmed Sameer , Pandey Bipin 
Published: May 2023

This article presents a study on procedural terrain generation using Perlin noise in the Unity game engine, building upon prior research and established techniques [1,2]. The objective of the this study is to create realistic and visually appealing landscapes by leveraging algorithmic generation [3]. By utilizing a two dimensional monochrome Perlin noise map, the algorithm generates terrains with organic features such as hills, valleys, and mountains [4]. The research employs the Unity game engine, which offers a wide range of tools and technologies for implementing procedural generation algorithms [5].
The performance analysis conducted during this study yielded important insights. The execution time test revealed that the algorithm's execution time increased significantly with larger grid sizes, emphasizing the need to consider the scale and resolution of the terrains [6]. This finding highlights the trade-off between generating detailed terrains and the time required for the algorithm to complete its computations. Additionally, the memory usage test demonstrated a quadratic relationship between memory usage and grid size, indicating the necessity of efficient memory management [7] for generating higher-resolution terrains. Optimizing memory usage is crucial to avoid excessive consumption and ensure efficient resource utilization.
These findings from the performance analysis provide valuable guidance for optimizing and refining the algorithm discussed in this article. Techniques such as algorithmic refinements, parallelization [8,6], and memory optimization strategies can be employed to reduce execution times and minimize memory overhead.
By understanding the algorithm's performance characteristics and leveraging the insights gained from the analysis, developers can make informed decisions to generate visually compelling and diverse landscapes within the Unity game engine.

Aims: To produce a systematic review with meta-analysis on the hematological manifestations of COVID-19, comparing the changes among the clinical severity groups.
Study Design: We conducted a systematic review with meta-analyses.
Methodology: A systematic review was carried out based on the PRISMA 2020 protocol in Medline/Pubmed, Embase, LILACS and SciElo databases. A standardized mean difference was calculated to assess the differences between the groups, with a confidence interval of 95%. Heterogeneity was calculated using the Chi-square test and the I2 test. Significant heterogeneity was defined as p<0.10 or I2>50%.
Results: The systematic review search identified a total of 2682 articles, and at the end of the screening, 55 were selected for review and 16 for meta-analysis. The selected articles enrolled 13,289 participants, 10,312 with a mild to moderate clinical condition and 3977 with a severe to critical clinical condition. When comparing the severe disease group with the mild disease group, it was found that the mean values of leukocytes, neutrophils, C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, fibrinogen, and prothrombin time (PT) were significantly higher, and the lymphocyte count was significantly lower in the severe group.
Conclusions: Individuals with severe COVID-19 had reduced lymphocyte count and elevated leukocytes, neutrophils, CRP, ferritin, fibrinogen, and PT.

Published: May 2023

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of an extemporaneous formulation of losartan potassium oral suspensions from crushed losartan potassium tablets to ensure that the compounded suspension maintained its quality attributes during its storage period.
Methodology: Losartan potassium suspensions were compounded extemporaneously in the same way they are prepared for patients at a hospital pharmacy. The suspensions were kept in the refrigerator at 4°C and evaluated immediately and after 9, 18, and 28 days. Suspension ease of redispersion, color, odor, pH, particle size, zeta potential, viscosity, and sedimentation volume were all evaluated. In addition, microbiological stability, drug content, and drug dissolution were assessed.
Results: During the study period, the extemporaneously compounded suspension retained its color and odor, and the pH profile remained consistent. Moreover, all suspensions were easily resuspended in a homogeneous liquid with gentle shaking, and no caking was detected. Furthermore, the results of the microbiological test revealed no microbial growth. The content uniformity and dissolution test results met the pharmacopeial requirements. The findings revealed that the losartan potassium compounding procedure was reliable and capable of producing 2.5 mg/mL of losartan potassium suspension using commercially available tablets and Ora-Blend as a suspending vehicle. Furthermore, after 28 days in the refrigerator (4°C), the suspension had acceptable quality features.
Conclusion: Extemporaneously compounded suspension allows physicians to prescribe a variable dose that adjusts to each patient’s needs, providing treatment when the liquid dosage form is unavailable.

ImportanceAppreciation for the effects of neighborhood conditions and community factors on perinatal health is increasing. However, community-level indices specific to maternal health and associations with preterm birth (PTB) have not been assessed.ObjectiveTo examine the association of the Maternal Vulnerability Index (MVI), a novel county-level index designed to quantify maternal vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, with PTB.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort study used US Vital Statistics data from January 1 to December 31, 2018. Participants included 3 659 099 singleton births at 22 plus 0/7 to 44 plus 6/7 weeks of gestation born in the US. Analyses were conducted from December 1, 2021, through March 31, 2023.ExposureThe MVI, a composite measure of 43 area-level indicators, categorized into 6 themes reflecting physical, social, and health care landscapes. Overall MVI and theme were stratified by quintile (very low to very high) by maternal county of residence.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was PTB (gestational age &amp;lt;37 weeks). Secondary outcomes were PTB categories: extreme (gestational age ≤28 weeks), very (gestational age 29-31 weeks), moderate (gestational age 32-33 weeks), and late (gestational age 34-36 weeks). Multivariable logistic regression quantified associations of MVI, overall and by theme, with PTB, overall and by PTB category.ResultsAmong 3 659 099 births, 298 847 (8.2%) were preterm (male, 51.1%; female, 48.9%). Maternal race and ethnicity included 0.8% American Indian or Alaska Native, 6.8% Asian or Pacific Islander, 23.6% Hispanic, 14.5% non-Hispanic Black, 52.1% non-Hispanic White, and 2.2% with more than 1 race. Compared with full-term births, MVI was higher for PTBs across all themes. Very high MVI was associated with increased PTB in unadjusted (odds ratio [OR], 1.50 [95% CI, 1.45-1.56]) and adjusted (OR, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.01-1.13]) analyses. In adjusted analyses of PTB categories, MVI had the largest association with extreme PTB (adjusted OR, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.07-1.29]). Higher MVI in the themes of physical health, mental health and substance abuse, and general health care remained associated with PTB overall in adjusted models. While the physical health and socioeconomic determinant themes were associated with extreme PTB, physical health, mental health and substance abuse, and general health care themes were associated with late PTB.Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this cohort study suggest that MVI was associated with PTB even after adjustment for individual-level confounders. The MVI is a useful measure for county-level PTB risk that may have policy implications for counties working to lower preterm rates and improve perinatal outcomes.

Abstract

Objective
Sharks face a high risk of injuries throughout all life stages and are therefore expected to show a good wound closure capacity.

Methods
Here, the wound closure of one major injury and one minor injury to the first dorsal fins of two free-ranging, mature female Great Hammerheads Sphyrna mokarran is described macroscopically.

Result
The sharks showed complete wound closure of single, clean-cut lacerations measuring 24.2 and 11.6 cm in length after an estimated 323 and 138 days. These estimates were based on the observed closure rate and visual confirmation of a complete wound closure upon multiple resightings of the same individuals. Additionally, the posterior lateral displacement of fin-mounted geolocators within the fin and outside of the fin without causing external damage was documented in three additional Great Hammerheads.

Conclusion
These observations supplement findings about wound closure capabilities in elasmobranchs. The documented geolocator displacement furthers the discussion about the safe use of these geolocators to track shark movements but also has implications for future tagging studies.

ObjectiveTo characterize health care resource utilization (HCRU), health care costs, and adverse events (AEs) among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) initiating oral corticosteroids (OCS) versus patients without OCS use.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study (GSK Study 213061), eligible patients (aged ≥5 years at first OCS claim) with SLE from the IQVIA Real‐World Data Adjudicated Claims‐US database (January 2006 to July 2019) had continuous enrollment during the 6‐month preindex (baseline) and 12‐month postindex (observation) periods and one or more inpatient or emergency department SLE diagnosis codes or two or more outpatient SLE diagnosis codes during baseline. The “OCS‐initiator cohort” comprised patients with one or more OCS pharmacy claims during the study period and no evidence of preindex OCS use and was classified into three exposure categories based on the number of 6‐month periods of more than 5 mg/day of OCS use (0, 1, 2). The “no‐OCS‐use cohort” comprised patients without OCS claims, although patients may have received OCS prior to the study period. Clinical and economic outcomes were reported over the observation period.ResultsAdjusted health care costs differed significantly ($6542 [95% confidence interval (CI): $5761‐$7368], $19,149 [95% CI: $16,954‐$21,471], $28,985 [95% CI: $25,546‐$32,885]). HCRU incidence rates were significantly greater for all OCS‐initiator exposure categories (n = 16,216) versus the no‐OCS‐use cohort (n = 11,137; adjusted incidence rate ratios [95% CI]: 1.22 [1.19‐1.24], 1.39 [1.34‐1.43], 1.66 [1.60‐1.73]). OCS‐related AEs were experienced by 67.1% to 74.1% of patients with OCS initiation, most commonly affecting the immune system.ConclusionWithin 12 months of OCS initiation, patients with SLE experienced substantial clinical and economic burden, which may imply a need to minimize OCS use.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSoft robots typically exhibit limited agility due to inherent properties of soft materials. The structural design of soft robots is one of the key elements to improve their mobility. Inspired by the Archimedean spiral geometry in nature, here, a fast‐moving spiral‐shaped soft robot made of a piezoelectric composite with an amorphous piezoelectric vinylidene fluoride film and a layer of copper tape is presented. The soft robot demonstrates a forward locomotion speed of 76 body length per second under the first‐order resonance frequency and a backward locomotion speed of 11.26 body length per second at the third‐order resonance frequency. Moreover, the multitasking capabilities of the soft robot in slope climbing, step jumping, load carrying, and steering are demonstrated. The soft robot can escape from a relatively confined space without external control and human intervention. An untethered robot with a battery and a flexible circuit (a payload of 1.665 g and a total weight of 1.815 g) can move at an absolute speed of 20 mm s−1 (1 body length per second). This study opens a new generic design paradigm for next‐generation fast‐moving soft robots that are applicable for multifunctionality at small scales.

AbstractThe side reactions related to water are the major issue hindering practical application of Zn metal batteries. To exclude the trouble from interfacial water, a covalent organic polymer (COP) layer with N, N′‐Bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine structure is designed, whose strong coordination ability with Zn2+ enhances the de‐solvation kinetics of solvated Zn2+ which is conducive to interfacial water removal thus alleviating the side reactions related to water. This function has been certified by density functional theory along with molecular dynamics analysis. Moreover, measurements including in situ electrochemical gas chromatography, in situ optical microscopy, in situ X‐ray diffraction and in situ Raman spectroscopy verify the weakened side reactions (including hydrogen evolution and corrosion) along with homogenous Zn deposition contributed from the covalent organic polymer layer. Benefiting from these merits, when assemble into cells based on common ZnSO4‐based aqueous electrolyte, the COP layer‐decorated anode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance of a high average Coulombic efficiency value 99.5% at a high capacity of 5.0 mA h cm−2. What's more, the symmetric cells can operate at −20 °C and the full cell with N/P ratio as low as 1.2 can cycle stably for 100 cycles, which would carry forward the promising practical application of Zn metal batteries.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSnO2 as an electron transport layer (ETL) has been widely used in regular planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) owing to its high optical transmittance, less photocatalytic activity, and low‐temperature processing. However, SnO2‐based PSCs still face many challenges which greatly impair their efficiency and stability of PSCs. Herein, a novel and effective multifunctional modification strategy is proposed by incorporating streptomycin sulfate (STRS) molecules with multiple functional groups into SnO2 ETL. STRS can significantly suppress SnO2 nanoparticle agglomeration, improve the electronic property of SnO2, as well as reduce nonradiative recombination. At the same time, interfacial residual tensile stress is released and the interfacial energy level alignment becomes more matched. As a result, the STRS‐modified PSCs achieve a higher efficiency of 22.89% compared to 20.61% of the control device and exhibit a hysteresis‐free feature. The humidity and thermal stability of PSCs based on STRS‐SnO2 are significantly improved. Furthermore, the efficiency of flexible devices increased from 19.74% to 20.79%, and the devices still maintain >80% of initial PCE after 4500 bending cycles with a bend radius of 5 mm. This study provides a low‐cost, facile, and efficient strategy for achieving high efficiency and stability in PSCs.

AbstractUnderwater solar cells (UWSCs) provide an ideal alternative to the energy supply for long‐endurance autonomous underwater vehicles. However, different from conventional solar cells situated on land or above water, UWSCs give preference to use wide bandgap semiconductors (≥1.8 eV) as light absorber to match underwater solar spectra. Among wide bandgap semiconductors, FAPbBr3 perovskite is under prime consideration owing to its matching optical bandgap (≈2.3 eV), outstanding photoelectric properties, easier processability, etc. Unfortunately, for FAPbBr3 solar cells, substantial interface defects greatly limit the charge carrier extraction efficiency, thus limiting the device performance, especially in underwater low‐light environments. This study employs a molecular self‐assembly strategy to effectively eliminate the interfacial defects. As a result, a great improvement in power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 6.44% to 7.49% is obtained, which is among the best efficiency reported for inverted FAPbBr3 solar cells up to date. Besides, a champion PCE of 30% is obtained under 520 nm monochromatic light irradiation (4.8 mW cm−2). These results demonstrate that FAPbBr3 solar cells present a tremendously promising application in UWSCs.

AbstractPolycrystalline perovskite films fabricated on flexible and textured substrates often are highly defective, leading to poor performance of perovskite devices. Finding substrate‐tolerant perovskite fabrication strategies is therefore paramount. Herein, this study shows that adding a small amount of Cadmium Acetate (CdAc2) in the PbI2 precursor solution results in nano‐hole array films and improves the diffusion of organic salts in PbI2 and promotes favorable crystal orientation and suppresses non‐radiative recombination. Polycrystalline perovskite films on the flexible substrate with ultra‐long carrier lifetimes exceeding 6 µs are achieved. Eventually, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.78% is obtained for single‐junction flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs). Furthermore, it is found that the strategy is also applicable for textured tandem solar cells. A champion PCE of 29.25% (0.5003 cm2) is demonstrated for perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs) with CdAc2. Moreover, the un‐encapsulated TSCs maintains 109.78% of its initial efficiency after 300 h operational at 45 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere. This study provides a facile strategy for achieving high‐efficiency perovskite‐based solar cells.
Flexible Transparent Electrodes Formed from Template‐Patterned Thin‐Film Silver

Published: May 2023

AbstractTemplate‐patterned, flexible transparent electrodes (TEs) formed from an ultrathin silver film on top of a commercial optical adhesive – Norland Optical Adhesive 63 (NOA63) – are reported. NOA63 is shown to be an effective base‐layer for ultrathin silver films that advantageously prevents coalescence of vapor‐deposited silver atoms into large, isolated islands (Volmer‐Weber growth), and so aids the formation of ultrasmooth continuous films. 12 nm silver films on top of free‐standing NOA63 combine high, haze‐free visible‐light transparency (T ≈ 60% at 550 nm) with low sheet‐resistance ( ≈ 16 Ω sq−1), and exhibit excellent resilience to bending, making them attractive candidates for flexible TEs. Etching the NOA63 base‐layer with an oxygen plasma before silver deposition causes the silver to laterally segregate into isolated pillars, resulting in a much higher sheet resistance ( > 8 × 106 Ω sq-1) than silver grown on pristine NOA63 . Hence, by selectively etching NOA63 before metal deposition, insulating regions may be defined within an otherwise conducting silver film, resulting in a differentially conductive film that can serve as a patterned TE for flexible devices. Transmittance may be increased (to 79% at 550 nm) by depositing an antireflective layer of Al2O3 on the Ag layer at the cost of reduced flexibility.
