Joint imaging of streamer and vertical cable data based on plane‐wave encoding reverse‐time migration
Authors: Zhang Jin , Cai Zhengkun , Lin Yuzhao 
Published: May 2023

AbstractOffshore seismic surveys are typically conducted using streamers, which can make it challenging to accurately image deep and steep reflectors due to their horizontal layout and limited offset range. In recent years, vertical cable seismic acquisition has been developed as an alternative approach that utilizes a vertical layout to obtain wave field information not achievable by conventional streamers. However, relying solely on vertical cable seismic data does not produce high‐quality images due to its sparse detector distribution. To address this issue, we propose a joint imaging method based on reverse‐time migration that incorporates both streamer and vertical cable records. Our approach combines the back‐propagated wave fields of the streamer and vertical cable at each step of wave field extrapolation, providing more comprehensive wave field information than either one could provide individually. We then utilize zero‐delay cross‐correlation imaging conditions to generate a migration profile. To improve the efficiency of our reverse‐time migration algorithm, we employ a plane‐wave source encoding strategy for joint imaging. The effectiveness of our proposed method is validated using both the wedge model and the Marmousi model. By utilizing reverse‐time migration in the plane‐wave domain, our joint imaging method overcomes the limitations of poor imaging of steep‐dip formations with conventional streamer data. Additionally, it suppresses migration noise caused by insufficient illumination range from either streamer or vertical cable data alone. Overall, our joint imaging approach offers a promising solution for improving the accuracy and quality of offshore seismic surveys.

AbstractLegumes maintain soil fertility thanks to their associated microbiota but are threatened by climate change that causes soil microbial community structural and functional modifications. The core microbiome associated with different chickpea and lentil genotypes was described after an unexpected climatic event. Results showed that chickpea and lentil bulk soil microbiomes varied significantly between two sampling time points, the first immediately after the rainfall and the second 2 weeks later. Rhizobia were associated with the soil of the more productive chickpea genotypes in terms of flower and fruit number. The root‐associated bacteria and fungi were surveyed in lentil genotypes, considering that several parcels showed disease symptoms. The metabarcoding analysis revealed that reads related to fungal pathogens were significantly associated with one lentil genotype. A lentil core prokaryotic community common to all genotypes was identified as well as a genotype‐specific one. A higher number of specific bacterial taxa and an enhanced tolerance to fungal diseases characterized a lentil landrace compared to the commercial varieties. This outcome supported the hypothesis that locally adapted landraces might have a high recruiting efficiency of beneficial soil microbes.

AbstractBackgroundAdolescence is a particularly vulnerable stage of development in terms of the deleterious effects of alcohol. Both lower gray matter (GM) volume and greater GABAergic activity have been associated with chronic alcohol consumption during adolescence. However, the association between these measures has not been investigated.MethodsIn this exploratory study, we compared 26 young adults with a 10year history of heavy alcohol consumption with 21 controls who used little or no alcohol. Simultaneous transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography were used to assess transcranial magnetic stimulation‐evoked N45 potentials, reflecting a balance between GABAergic inhibition and N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor‐mediated glutaminergic excitation in the brain. GM thickness was measured from magnetic resonance images and GM and N45 potentials were then correlated.ResultsCortical thickness was significantly lower in several brain regions in the heavy‐drinking group than the light‐drinking group. The N45 amplitude was significantly larger frontally in the heavy‐drinking group. Among heavy drinkers, there were several statistically significant correlations between thinner GM and larger frontal N45 amplitudes that were not detectable in the light‐drinking group. The strongest correlations were detected in the frontal and parietal lobes, especially in the left superior frontal gyrus and the left supramarginal gyrus, and in both hemispheres in the superior parietal lobes.ConclusionsThese findings show that a thinner cortex and greater inhibitory neurotransmission are correlated in certain brain regions among young, long‐term heavy alcohol users. Studies are needed to explore the possible causal mechanisms underlying these effects.
Cicadomorpha community (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) in different agroecosystems in the north of Portugal
Authors: Rodrigues Isabel , Baptista Paula , Pereira José Alberto 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The infraorder Cicadomorpha is a diverse group comprising several species considered important pests of economic crops and species that may act as vectors of plant pathogens. In Europe, the gram‐negative bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is one of the most important and severe insect‐borne plant pathogens associated with the infraorder Cicadomorpha.
Therefore, the knowledge of the abundance and diversity of native Cicadomorpha insect vectors related to the different agroecosystems is essential to design and implementing specific measures to control insect‐borne plant pathogens.
In this work, in two consecutive years (2018 and 2019), five almond orchards, five vineyards, five olive orchards, and five scrublands distributed in the North of Portugal were sampled in three different periods (early summer, summer and autumn) to investigate species composition, richness, and diversity of the Cicadomorpha community. Also, in 2019, five lemon orchards were sampled.
A total of 6056 individuals were collected (2322 in 2018 and 3734 in 2019), belonging to 71 species of three families. Observing several considered pests or vectors of vicious pathogens within these species was possible. The confirmed vectors of X. fastidiosa (Philaenus spumarius (Linnaeus, 1758) and Neophilaenus campestris (Fallen, 1805)) were captured in all agroecosystems and, in general, with more abundance in autumn. The highest abundance, richness, and diversity of Cicadomorpha were observed in vineyards. However, these parameters (abundance, richness and diversity) significantly differed between the agroecosystem and sampling period.
Further research on how the composition of the vegetation cover shapes the Cicadomorpha community is essential to implement strategies to reduce the spread of insect‐borne pathogens if they are introduced into agroecosystems.

SummaryNPM1‐mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (NPM1mut AML) represents a mostly favourable/intermediate risk disease that benefits from allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in case of measurable residual disease (MRD) relapse or persistence after induction chemotherapy. Although the negative prognostic role of pre‐HSCT MRD is established, no recommendations are available for the management of peri‐transplant molecular failure (MF). Based on the efficacy data of venetoclax (VEN)‐based treatment in NPM1mut AML older patients, we retrospectively analysed the off‐label combination of VEN plus azacitidine (AZA) as bridge‐to‐transplant strategy in 11 NPM1mut MRD‐positive fit AML patients. Patients were in MRD‐positive complete remission (CRMRDpos) at the time of treatment: nine in molecular relapse and two in molecular persistence. After a median number of two cycles (range 1–4) of VEN–AZA, 9/11 (81.8%) achieved CRMRD‐negative (CRMRDneg). All 11 patients proceeded to HSCT. With a median follow‐up from treatment start of 26 months, and a median post‐HSCT follow‐up of 19 months, 10/11 patients are alive (1 died from non‐relapse mortality), and 9/10 patients are in MRDneg status. This patient series highlights the efficacy and safety of VEN–AZA to prevent overt relapse, achieve deep responses and preserve patient fitness before HSCT, in patients with NPM1mut AML in MF.

AbstractObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of the cushioned grind‐out technique transcrestal sinus floor elevation for simultaneous implant placement with ≤4 mm of residual bone height (RBH).Materials and MethodsThis was a retrospective propensity score matching (PSM) study. Five PSM analyses included the confounding variables of Schneiderian membrane perforation, early and late implant failure, and peri‐implant apical and marginal bone resorption. After PSM, we compared the difference in five aspects between the RBH ≤ 4 and >4 mm groups.ResultsA total of 214 patients with 306 implants were included in this study. After PSM, the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) indicated that RBH ≤ 4 mm had no significantly higher risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation and early and late implant failure (p = .897, p = .140, p = .991, respectively). The implant cumulative 7‐year survival rate of the RBH ≤ 4 and >4 mm groups was 95.5% and 93.9%, respectively (log‐rank test: p = .900). Within at least 40 cases per group after PSM, two multivariate GLMMs indicated that RBH ≤ 4 mm could not be identified as the promotive factor of bone resorption of either endo‐sinus bone gain or crest bone level (RBH × time interaction p = .850, p = .698, respectively).ConclusionsWithin the limitations, 3 months to 7 years of post‐prosthetic restoration review data indicated an acceptable mid‐term survival and success rate of applying the cushioned grind‐out technique in RBH ≤ 4 mm cases.

AbstractAimsChanges in maternal serum C‐peptide have been described during pregnancy in women with Type 1 diabetes. We aimed to determine whether in these women, C‐peptide, as measured by the urinary C‐peptide creatinine ratio (UCPCR), display changes during the course of pregnancy and in the postpartum period.MethodsIn this longitudinal study including 26 women, UCPCR was measured in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy, and postpartum, using a high sensitivity two‐step chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.ResultsUCPCR was detectable in 7/26 (26.9%) participants in the first trimester, 10/26 (38.4%) in the second trimester, and 18/26 (69.2%) in the third trimester. Changes in UCPCR concentrations were observed throughout pregnancy, significantly increasing from first to third trimester. UCPCR concentration in the three trimesters was associated with a shorter duration of diabetes and in the third trimester also with first trimester UCPCR.ConclusionUCPCR detects longitudinal changes during pregnancy in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus, more marked in those with shorter diabetes duration.

AbstractThe fatigue behavior of woven ply (0/90°) glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) laminates filled with 2 wt.% of tungsten carbide nano‐powder at different stress ratios, 0.1 and 0.3, was investigated. Specimens were subjected to constant amplitude fatigue loading for three stress levels, 80%, 70%, and 60%, of ultimate tensile strength at each stress ratio for both neat GFRP and tungsten carbide modified GFRP (GFRP‐WC). The fatigue life was enhanced at all stress levels in neat GFRP composites with an increase in stress ratio from 0.1 to 0.3. In addition, incorporation of nanoparticles also increases fatigue life at all stress levels for both stress ratios. The addition of nanoparticles acts as a barrier to crack propagation, which leads to a significant effect on the evolution of fatigue stiffness, cyclic creep strain, and dissipated energy during cyclic loading at both stress ratios.
The contentious Ghanaian: An historical appraisal of social movements in Ghana
Authors: Sapong Nana Yaw Boampong 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIdeas of freedom, liberty, and social justice are germane to most societies, including African societies. The quest for these values also often involves contentions, dialog, and compromise. Sadly, the often‐told stories of political and social change in Africa are brush‐stroked with bloodshed, tears, and anguish. This Africa of pessimism, unfulfilled dreams, state‐sponsored violence, and civil wars is a familiar headline in the global North. This work, however, proposes that African countries such as Ghana have been resolving their disagreements and contentions through other means. These range from subtle, subversive, noncompliant and complex responses to the less preferred direct and open confrontation with authority. Secondly, the historiography of protest movements in Ghana reveals a lingering preference for twentieth century social movements, neglecting nineteenth century forms of protest and social movement bases, which employed subtlety, noncompliance, and sometimes, direct confrontation. Lastly, initial social movement literature showed a preponderance of male‐dominated narratives, which eventually led to the creation of female‐inspired alternate narratives. Using selected works in social movement theory, general surveys on the history of Ghana, monographs, journal articles, book chapters and unpublished theses, this article seeks to offer a panoramic view of the history‐writing of social movements and its prospects in Ghana.

AbstractAimTo develop and validate a culturally appropriate patient‐reported outcome measure for measuring dignity for older adults during acute hospitalization.DesignA three‐phased exploratory sequential mixed‐method design was used.MethodsDomains were identified and items were generated from findings of a recent qualitative study, two systematic reviews and grey literature. Content validity evaluation and pre‐testing were undertaken using standard instrument development techniques. Two‐hundred and seventy hospitalized older adults were surveyed to test construct and convergent validity, internal consistency reliability and test–retest reliability of the measure. Analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 25. The STROBE checklist was used to document reporting of the study.ResultsWe established the 15‐item Hospitalized Older Adults' Dignity Scale (HOADS) that has a 5‐factor structure: shared decision‐making (3 items); healthcare professional‐patient communication (3 items); patient autonomy (4 items); patient privacy (2 items); respectful care (3 items). Excellent content validity, adequate construct and convergent validity, acceptable internal consistency reliability and good test–retest reliability were demonstrated.ConclusionWe established the HOADS is a valid and reliable scale to measure dignity for older adults during acute hospitalization. Future studies using confirmatory factor analysis are needed to corroborate the dimensionality of the factor structure and external validity of the scale. Routine use of the scale may inform the development of strategies to improve dignity‐related care in the future.ImpactThe development and validation of the HOADS will provide nurses and other healthcare professionals with a feasible and reliable scale for measuring older adults' dignity during acute hospitalization. The HOADS advances the conceptual understanding of dignity in hospitalized older adults by including additional constructs that have not been captured in previous dignity‐related measures for older adults (i.e. shared decision‐making and respectful care). The factor structure of the HOADS, therefore, includes five domains of dignity and offers a new opportunity for nurses and other healthcare professionals to better understand the nuances of dignity for older adults during acute hospitalization. For example, the HOADS enables nurses to identify differences in levels of dignity based on contextual factors and to use this information to guide the implementation of strategies that promote dignified care.Patient or Public ContributionPatients were involved in the generation of items for the scale. Their perspectives and the perspectives of experts were sought in determining the relevance of each item of the scale to patients' dignity.

AbstractSharks are an important attraction for aquaria; however, larger species can rarely be kept indefinitely. To date, there has been little work tracking shark movements post‐release to the wild. The authors used high‐resolution biologgers to monitor a sub‐adult tiger shark's pre‐ and post‐release fine‐scale movements following 2 years of captivity in an aquarium. They also compared its movement with that of a wild shark tagged nearby. Despite the differences in movement between the two sharks, with vertical oscillations notably absent and greater levels of turning seen from the released shark, the captive shark survived the release. These biologgers improve insight into post‐release movements of captive sharks.

AbstractTwo‐dimensional dopant profiling is vital for the modelling, design, diagnosis and performance improvement of semiconductor devices and related research and development. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has shown great potential for dopant profiling. In this study, the effects of secondary electron (SE) detectors and imaging parameters on the contrast imaging of multilayered p‐n and p‐i junction GaN specimens via SEM were studied to enable dopant profiling. The doping contrast of the image captured by the in‐lens detector was superior to that of the image captured by the side‐attached Everhart–Thornley detector at lower acceleration voltages (Vacc) and small working distances (WD). Furthermore, the doping contrast levels of the in‐lens detector‐obtained image under different combinations of Vacc and WD were studied, and the underlying mechanism was explored according to local external fields and the refraction effect. The difference in the angular distributions of SEs emitted from different regions, the response of the three types of SEs to detectors, and the solid angles of detectors toward the specimen surface considerably influenced the results. This systematic study will enable the full exploitation of SEM for accurate dopant profiling, improve the analysis of the doping contrast mechanism, and further improve doping contrast for semiconductors.

AbstractChemical peeling treats facial cutaneous aging and may avoid risks in patients with sensitive skin, darker skin types, limited finances, or concern for side effects of other resurfacing techniques. Tolerability and improvement of photoaging using a combination peel containing 6% trichloroacetic acid and 12% lactic acid for treatment of mild‐to‐moderate signs of facial photoaging were assessed. This is a prospective, single‐center, single‐arm, study of 32 female subjects with mild‐to‐moderate signs of facial aging and Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–V treated with three monthly treatments of a combination peel containing 6% trichloroacetic acid and 12% lactic acid. After 3 treatments, there were statistically significant improvements in clarity, brightness, redness, pigmentation, fine lines, tactile and visual roughness, and overall appearance scores. Subjective improvements in photoaging parameters varied from 53% (fine lines) to 91% (clarity/brightness). Three treatments with a combination peel containing 6% trichloroacetic acid and 12% lactic acid achieved improvements in signs of facial photoaging. This procedure is safe and effective at treating cutaneous aging for all skin types and a viable option for patients who wish to avoid other resurfacing techniques such as laser resurfacing, microneedling among others.
Collective turnover and firm innovation: Knowledge‐sharing system as a contingency
Authors: Ko Young Jin , Choi Jin Nam 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIs high employee turnover harmful to innovation? To answer this question, we draw on the knowledge‐based view of innovation. Specifically, we theorize that the collective turnover of a firm engenders complex changes in knowledge insourcing needed for generating innovation, which may lead to the attenuating negative effect of turnover on innovation. This study also aims to investigate a contingency that modifies the detrimental effect of collective turnover on innovation. Specifically, we identify knowledge‐sharing system (KSS) as a positive knowledge‐related contingency that engenders a U‐shaped curvilinear relationship between collective turnover and firm innovation. In addition, replenishing human capital by hiring new employees improves knowledge insourcing quality and diversity, thereby constituting the mechanism through which collective turnover affects firm innovation. An analysis of large‐scale firm‐level data collected from 2259 Korean firms over a 6‐year period supports most hypotheses and confirms the positive effect of high turnover on firm innovation through replacement hiring and under favorable firm contingencies, such as a high KSS. This study provides a balanced perspective by revealing the costs and benefits of collective turnover and explains when and how turnover can facilitate firm innovation.
