Narrowing region for tropical convections in the western North Pacific
Authors: Yun Sanghyeon , Kang Namyoung , Jang Chan Joo 
Published: January 2023

AbstractConsidering that the subtropical highs and tropical convections are observed as negative and positive vorticities respectively, the large-scale features of the atmospheric environment can be effectively represented using streamfunctions as defined by the Laplacian. By investigating the geographical patterns of streamfunctions from different modes of environmental variability, this study conceptualizes how the subtropical high expands and the region for tropical convections migrates in the western North Pacific. It is confirmed that, owing to the expansion of the subtropical high, the limited ocean area for tropical convections even bounded by the equator becomes narrower in the “La Niña mode” than that in the “El Niño mode”. This study finds that a warmer environment is likely to further expand the subtropical high to the west, and then the westernmost shift in the region for tropical convections appears in the “warmer La Niña mode”. A linear perspective suggests that every warmer La Niña environment could be one that people have scarcely experienced before.

AbstractThe zizphus seeds are considered as a biomaterial residues that has been used for removing of organic industrial waste such as 2-((10-octyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene-2-yl) methylene) malononitrile (PTZS-CN) dye from aqueous solutions utilizing graphene oxide-Ziziphus (GO-Ziziphus). A batch study explored the impacts of various experimental circumstances, including solution pH, initial dye concentration, temperature, and contact time. General order, nonlinear pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order, elvoich model and intraparticiple diffusion were utilized to analyze the kinetic data. The adsorption kinetics of dye onto GO-ziziphus adsorption was best mentioned by nonlinear pseudo-first order. Similarly, the intra-particle diffusion plots revealed one exponential line throughout the adsorption process. The Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Langmuir models were employed to examine isothermal data. It provided the best fit of the dye adsorption isothermal data onto GO-ziziphus Freundlich models. Besides, the calculated free energies showed that the adsorption progression was physical adsorption. Thermodynamic calculations revealed that dye adsorption onto GO-ziziphus was exothermic and spontaneous. The combined results indicated that GO-ziziphus powder might be used to treat dye-rich wastewater effectively.

Authors: Wen Yang , Liu Zhen , Xiong Wen 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWith the control parameters of the wall thickness of the ball table and the thickness of the pressure plate of the ball table, four universal wrapped assembled joint models were designed for the research of stress performance via static loading test. The failure mode of the joint, the axial force–displacement curve of the web member, the equivalent stress distribution of the ball table and the pressure plate of the ball table were analyzed, and the ABQAUS finite element software was used for the analysis of parameter expansion of the specimen. The research results show that the failure modes of universally wrapped assembled joints can be divided into the buckling failure of the ball table and the strength failure of the material. The wall thickness of the ball table is the key parameter affecting the failure mode of the joints, and the thickness of the pressure plate of the ball table is the crucial parameter influencing the ultimate bearing capacity of the joints. The maximum equivalent stress of the pressure plate and the ball table at compression zone for all the joints is occurred at the side squeezed by the bolt ball, and the growth rate of the equivalent stress for the ball table at compression zone is more uniform than that at tension zone. According to the finite element analysis results, when the wall thickness of the ball table is greater than 7 mm, the thickness of the pressure plate of the ball table is greater than 16 mm, the growth rate of the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint is significantly decreased, therefore, it is recommended to use the wall thickness of 7 mm and the pressure plate thickness of 16 mm in the actual design of the project.

AbstractCoral reefs offer natural coastal protection by attenuating incoming waves. Here we combine unique coral disturbance-recovery observations with hydrodynamic models to quantify how structural complexity dissipates incoming wave energy. We find that if the structural complexity of healthy coral reefs conditions is halved, extreme wave run-up heights that occur once in a 100-years will become 50 times more frequent, threatening reef-backed coastal communities with increased waves, erosion, and flooding.

AbstractAutophagy induction by starvation has been shown to enhance lysosomal delivery to mycobacterial phagosomes, resulting in the restriction of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis reference strain H37Rv. In contrast to H37Rv, our previous study showed that strains belonging to the notorious M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype could evade autophagic elimination. Our recent RNA-Seq analysis also discovered that the autophagy-resistant M. tuberculosis Beijing strain (BJN) evaded autophagic control by upregulating the expression of Kxd1, a BORC complex component, and Plekhm2, both of which function in lysosome positioning towards the cell periphery in host macrophages, thereby suppressing enhanced lysosomal delivery to its phagosome and sparing the BJN from elimination as a result. In this work, we further characterised the other specific components of the BORC complex, BORC5-8, and Kinesin proteins in autophagy resistance by the BJN. Depletion of BORCS5-8 and Kinesin-1, but not Kinesin-3, reverted autophagy avoidance by the BJN, resulting in increased lysosomal delivery to the BJN phagosomes. In addition, the augmented lysosome relocation towards the perinuclear region could now be observed in the BJN-infected host cells depleted in BORCS5-8 and Kinesin-1 expressions. Taken together, the data uncovered new roles for BORCS5-8 and Kinesin-1 in autophagy evasion by the BJN.

AbstractEpithelial cells control a variety of immune cells by secreting cytokines to maintain tissue homeostasis on mucosal surfaces. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for immune homeostasis and for preventing tissue inflammation; however, the precise molecular mechanisms by which epithelial cell-derived cytokines function on Treg cells in the epithelial tissues are not well understood. Here, we show that peripheral Treg cells preferentially respond to thymic stromal lymphoprotein (TSLP). Although TSLP does not affect thymic Treg differentiation, TSLP receptor-deficient induced Treg cells derived from naïve CD4+ T cells are less activated in an adoptive transfer model of colitis. Mechanistically, TSLP activates induced Treg cells partially through mTORC1 activation and fatty acid uptake. Thus, TSLP modulates the activation status of induced Treg through the enhanced uptake of fatty acids to maintain homeostasis in the large intestine.

AbstractWhile embryonic mammalian central nervous system (CNS) axons readily grow and differentiate, only a minority of fully differentiated mature CNS neurons are able to regenerate injured axons, leading to stunted functional recovery after injury and disease. To delineate DNA methylation changes specifically associated with axon regeneration, we used a Fluorescent-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS)-based methodology in a rat optic nerve transection model to segregate the injured retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) into regenerating and non-regenerating cell populations. Whole-genome DNA methylation profiling of these purified neurons revealed genes and pathways linked to mammalian RGC regeneration. Moreover, whole-methylome sequencing of purified uninjured adult and embryonic RGCs identified embryonic molecular profiles reactivated after injury in mature neurons, and others that correlate specifically with embryonic or adult axon growth, but not both. The results highlight the contribution to both embryonic growth and adult axon regeneration of subunits encoding the Na+/K+-ATPase. In turn, both biochemical and genetic inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump significantly reduced RGC axon regeneration. These data provide critical molecular insights into mammalian CNS axon regeneration, pinpoint the Na+/K+-ATPase as a key regulator of regeneration of injured mature CNS axons, and suggest that successful regeneration requires, in part, reactivation of embryonic signals.

Published: January 2023

Purpose:
This research note illustrates the effects of video data with nonsquare pixels on the pixel-based measures obtained from videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS).

Method:
Six pixel-based distance and area measures were obtained from two different videoflouroscopic study units; both yielding videos with nonsquare pixels with different pixel aspect ratios (PARs). The swallowing measures were obtained from the original VFSS videos and from the videos after their pixels were squared.

Results:
The results demonstrated significant multivariate effects both in video type (original vs. squared) and in the interaction between video type and sample (two video recordings of different patients, different PARs, and opposing tilt angles of the external reference). A wide range of variabilities was observed on the pixel-based measures between original and squared videos with the percent deviation ranging from 0.1% to 9.1% with the maximum effect size of 7.43.

Conclusions:
This research note demonstrates the effect of disregarding PAR to distance and area pixel-based parameters. In addition, we present a multilevel roadmap to prevent possible measurement errors that could occur. At the planning stage, the PAR of video source should be identified, and, at the analyses stage, video data should be prescaled prior to analysis with PAR-unaware software. No methodology in prior absolute or relative pixel-based studies reports adjustment to the PAR prior to measurements nor identify the PAR as a possible source of variation within the literature. Addressing PAR will improve the precision and stability of pixel-based VFSS findings and improve comparability within and across clinical and research settings.

Analysis of Tongue Muscle Strain During Speech From Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Shao Muhan , Xing Fangxu , Carass Aaron , Liang Xiao , Zhuo Jiachen , Stone Maureen , Woo Jonghye , Prince Jerry L. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose:
Muscle groups within the tongue in healthy and diseased populations show different behaviors during speech. Visualizing and quantifying strain patterns of these muscle groups during tongue motion can provide insights into tongue motor control and adaptive behaviors of a patient.

Method:
We present a pipeline to estimate the strain along the muscle fiber directions in the deforming tongue during speech production. A deep convolutional network estimates the crossing muscle fiber directions in the tongue using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data acquired at rest. A phase-based registration algorithm is used to estimate motion of the tongue muscles from tagged MRI acquired during speech. After transforming both muscle fiber directions and motion fields into a common atlas space, strain tensors are computed and projected onto the muscle fiber directions, forming so-called strains in the line of actions (SLAs) throughout the tongue. SLAs are then averaged over individual muscles that have been manually labeled in the atlas space using high-resolution T2-weighted MRI. Data were acquired, and this pipeline was run on a cohort of eight healthy controls and two glossectomy patients.

Results:
The crossing muscle fibers reconstructed by the deep network show orthogonal patterns. The strain analysis results demonstrate consistency of muscle behaviors among some healthy controls during speech production. The patients show irregular muscle patterns, and their tongue muscles tend to show more extension than the healthy controls.

Conclusions:
The study showed visual evidence of correlation between two muscle groups during speech production. Patients tend to have different strain patterns compared to the controls. Analysis of variations in muscle strains can potentially help develop treatment strategies in oral diseases.

Geometry estimation for multiple autonomous underwater vehicles using active sound source
Authors: Ji Ziliang , Song Sanming , Liu Kaizhou , Li Liming , Liu Jing , Feng Xisheng 
Published: January 2023

AbstractUnderwater acoustic target detection with multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has the advantage of scalable aperture, however, it depends on the accurate estimation of the shape and structure of the swarm. In this study, a method based on an active sound source is proposed for geometry estimation of distributed nodes. Pulses or chirp signals, transmitted by the source, arrive AUV nodes with different time delays and are collected by the hydrophones, from which the formation geometry could be estimated. Firstly, the frequency‐sliding generalised cross‐correlation (FS‐GCC) feature matrix between the signals received by each node and the reference node is extracted. Secondly, an autoencoder network is employed to enhance the time delay line implied in the FS‐GCC matrix, from which a time delay between two nodes is obtained. A time delay vector could be constructed by concatenating the delays between the reference node and all other nodes when the source lies at different orientations. Lastly, the time delay matrix, which is composed of time delay vectors in a time window when AUV circularly moves around the detection nodes, is further decomposed by singular value decomposition to obtain the formation geometry. The feasibility and effectiveness are verified by the simulation dataset, anechoic pool experiment, and lake trial. The root mean square error of the proposed geometry estimation method drops by 9% and 54% for two typical geometries when compared with ref. [1] for the simulation dataset, which becomes 45% and 37% for the anechoic pool experiment. Though the estimation error increases in lake trials, the proposed method achieved a relatively better precision. It is found that the proposed method has better performance when the formation geometry of AUVs approaches a regular polygon and when the source works in a stop‐and‐go mode. Furthermore, when the source distance meets the far‐field assumption, the azimuthal span of source movement relative to AUVs should be larger than 30°.
A plausible molecular mechanism to explain near-infrared continuum emission: Recurrent fluorescence
Authors: Lacinbala O. , Calvo F. , Dartois E. , Falvo C. , Parneix P. , Simon A. , Pino T. 
Published: January 2023

Context. Very small grains and large hydrocarbon molecules are known to convert a fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) and visible stellar radiation to near- and mid-infrared (IR) photons via stochastic heating and subsequent radiative de-excitation. However, no convincing explanation for the near-IR continuum emission observed in some reflection nebulae and planetary nebulae has been provided so far.
Aims. We aim to investigate the extent that recurrent fluorescence originating from stellar photon absorption by Cn (n = 24, 42, 60) carbon clusters can account for the IR emission detected in various interstellar environments. To this aim, we modelled the collective emission signature of a carbon cluster sample induced by irradiation from a 20 000 K blackbody source. From the obtained results, we set out to determine the fraction of interstellar carbon locked up in the emitting objects.
Methods. The collective emission signature was computationally determined for different structural families encompassing cages, flakes, pretzels, and branched isomers by means of a kinetic Monte Carlo stochastic approach based on harmonic vibrational densities of states. The collective emission spectra result from the overall radiative cooling of a large population of neutral carbon clusters, during which recurrent fluorescence and vibrational emission compete with each other.
Results. Our modelling shows that recurrent fluorescence from C60 cages and flakes (with little or no sp1 carbon atoms) and C42 cages are able to explain the near-IR continuum emission observed in several reflection nebulae and planetary nebulae. Assuming that the continuum emission observed towards NGC 7023 is due to recurrent fluorescence induced by UV or visible photon absorption in neutral cage carbon clusters containing about 30–60 atoms, the carriers contain about 0.1–1.5% of the interstellar carbon abundance.

Published: January 2023

Syrdarya region of the Republic of Uzbekistan mainly grows cotton, winter wheat, rice, corn, oats, and barley. Each type of plant requires a certain amount of moisture, nutrients, temperature, solar energy, and other factors.
Although the plants listed above are resistant to a certain level of mineralized water resources, improper use of ditch water will worsen the reclamation condition of the soil.
Therefore, the study and modeling of the impact of irrigated water quality on productivity are one of the pressing issues.
To parameterize the CropSyst model, the plant under study is grown under stressless conditions, and all the observed parameters are included in this model. For example, it requires regular and timely irrigation, proper care, adequate fertilizer application, soil reclamation management, and phenological observations during each growing season.
In the next validation phase, the selected replanting mung bean is grown under altered conditions, such as changing the irrigation regime or applying different amounts of fertilizer. These modified parameters are entered into the model and constructed by comparing the results shown in the model with the results obtained in practice. If the results shown in the model are the same as the results obtained from the field experiment, then this model is considered to be correctly parameterized. In the application section, we will again test the model and recommend it to farmers for use.
Technique, Indications and Limitations of a Minimally Invasive
Approach to Treat Distal Radius Fractures and Malunions
Authors: Liverneaux Philippe , Amiri Laela El , Facca Sybille , Sapa Marie-Cécile 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe minimally invasive flexor carpi radialis approach can be used for
volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures. It offers the advantage
of preserving ligamentotaxis, which facilitates the reduction and the small size
of the scar improves the esthetic result of the procedure. It is indicated for
extra-articular fractures of the distal radius. In the case of an
intra-articular fracture, an arthroscopy may be associated. In the case of a
proximal diaphyseal extension of the fracture, a second proximal approach can be
added in order to use a longer plate. Relative contraindications are comminuted
articular fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients. Functional and
radiological results are comparable to those obtained with the extented
flexor carpi radialis approach. A conversion of the procedure for a
larger incision is always possible in the case of a difficult reduction.
Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban and Enoxaparin for Thromboprophylaxis Among Total Hip Arthroplasty Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the major and potentially life-threatening complications following major orthopedic surgeries. Research evidence comparing the effectiveness of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis specific to total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been limited. Hence, this review was done to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban against enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis after THA.
Materials and Methods We conducted a search in databases including Medline, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library from inception until May 2021. Randomized controlled trials directly comparing the effectiveness of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis among patients undergoing THA were eligible for inclusion. Outcome parameters assessed were efficacy in terms of total VTE and all-cause mortality, major VTE, deep vein thrombosis, symptomatic VTE, and safety in terms of major bleeding events, clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding events, minor bleeding events, total bleeding events, drug-related adverse events, and wound infection. We performed a meta-analysis with a random effects model and reported a pooled risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results Eleven studies, including 9057 participants, were analyzed. Amongst efficacy outcomes, VTE and all-cause mortality pooled an RR of 0.58 (95% CI: 0.34–0.99), major VTE pooled an RR of 0.37 (95% CI: 0.15–0.90), deep vein thrombosis pooled an RR of 0.57 (95% CI: 0.32–1.02), and symptomatic VTE pooled an RR of 0.51 (95% CI: 0.30–0.87). Amongst safety outcomes, major bleeding events pooled an RR of 1.18 (95% CI: 0.77–1.80), total bleeding events pooled an RR of 1.12 (95% CI: 0.93–1.34), drug-related adverse event pooled an RR of 0.99 (95% CI: 0.87–1.12), and wound infection pooled an RR of 1.11 (95% CI: 0.58–2.14).
Conclusion Rivaroxaban is a more efficacious drug in terms of VTE and all-cause mortality compared to enoxaparin following THA, and rivaroxaban was non-inferior in terms of safety profiles such as wound infection, bleeding, and drug-related adverse events.
