Published: February 2023

AbstractMoisture removal and water recovery from the air are vital for regulating indoor humidity and mitigating water scarcity. Most atmospheric water harvesters (AWH) focus primarily on increasing the moisture capture rate, but for it to be economical and sustainable, it is essential to consider the energy required to recover and harvest the captured water. Here, a mechanically flexible, biphilic sorption‐based AWH made of green, environmentally friendly material is presented. It consists of a hygroscopic chitosan polymer embedded within a flexible, hydrophobic silica xerogel that can harvest 86.3 g water/g chitosan at 97% relative humidity and 25°C reaching saturation after 30 days (i.e. 2.88 g water/g chitosan/day). Roughly 88% of the sorbed moisture was recovered by mechanical squeezing (ca. 0.020 MPa) within 150 s. Repeated water harvesting experiments and uniaxial compression tests demonstrate that chitosan‐silica xerogel is durable for long‐term operations, providing a fast, reliable, and sustainable moisture removal and water harvesting tool.

AbstractOsteoporosis is a major cause of bone fracture and can be characterised by both mass loss and microstructure deterioration of the bone. The modern way of osteoporosis assessment is through the measurement of bone mineral density, which is not able to unveil the pathological condition from the mesoscale aspect. To obtain mesoscale information from computed tomography (CT), the super‐resolution (SR) approach for volumetric imaging data is required. A deep learning model AESR3D is proposed to recover high‐resolution (HR) Micro‐CT from low‐resolution Micro‐CT and implement an unsupervised segmentation for better trabecular observation and measurement. A new regularisation overcomplete autoencoder framework for the SR task is proposed and theoretically analysed. The best performance is achieved on structural similarity measure of trabecular CT SR task compared with the state‐of‐the‐art models in both natural and medical image SR tasks. The HR and SR images show a high correlation (r = 0.996, intraclass correlation coefficients = 0.917) on trabecular bone morphological indicators. The results also prove the effectiveness of our regularisation framework when training a large capacity model.

Published: February 2023

AbstractIn recent years, convolutional‐neural‐network based stereo matching methods have achieved significant gains compared to conventional methods in terms of both speed and accuracy. Current state‐of‐the‐art disparity estimation algorithms require many parameters and large amounts of computational resources and are not suited for applications on edge devices. In this paper, an end‐to‐end light‐weight network (LWNet) for fast stereo matching is proposed, which consists of an efficient backbone with multi‐scale feature fusion for feature extraction, a 3D U‐Net aggregation architecture for disparity computation, and color guidance in a 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) for disparity refinement. MobileNetV2 is adopted as an efficient backbone in feature extraction. The channel attention module is applied to improve the representational capacity of features and multi‐resolution information is adaptively incorporated into the cost volume via cross‐scale connections. Further, a left‐right consistency check and color guidance refinement are introduced and a robust disparity refinement network is designed with skip connections and dilated convolutions to capture global context information and improve disparity estimation accuracy with little computational cost and memory space. Extensive experiments on Scene Flow, KITTI 2015, and KITTI 2012 demonstrate that the proposed LWNet achieves competitive accuracy and speed when compared with state‐of‐the‐art stereo matching methods.
Multi‐parameter optimization of performance and economic viability of Ferris wheel wind turbine for low wind speed regions in Africa
Authors: Adeyeye Kehinde A. , Ijumba Nelson , Colton Jonathan S. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractPrevious studies on wind turbine and wind farm optimization for Levellized cost of energy (LCOE) and annual energy production (AEP) have focused on horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Regions with lower wind speed resources tend to have a higher levellized cost of energy and lower annual energy production. In this paper, the authors investigate the optimization of a novel, Ferris wheel wind turbine (FWT) for low wind speed regions of Africa. The research used an Excel‐based Multi‐Objective Optimization (EMOO) model. The EMOO program has both binary‐coded and real‐coded Elitist Non‐Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA‐II). The optimization is conducted by studying the effect of varying the rim diameter, number of blades, and the rated wind speeds for an 800‐kW generator on the performance and economics in 21 African cities. The results show that, on average, the return‐on‐investment increases over the base design by up to 182%, and both the simple payback period (SPP) and the levellized cost of electricity decreased by 39% as the rim diameter increases combined with a 50% reduction in blade numbers. In addition, a 75% reduction in blade numbers caused a further 32% decrease on average for both the simple payback period and the levellized cost of electricity.
Bayesian Network analysis of software logs for data‐driven software maintenance

Published: February 2023

AbstractSoftware organisations aim to develop and maintain high‐quality software systems. Due to large amounts of behaviour data available, software organisations can conduct data‐driven software maintenance. Indeed, software quality assurance and improvement programs have attracted many researchers' attention. Bayesian Networks (BNs) are proposed as a log analysis technique to discover poor performance indicators in a system and to explore usage patterns that usually require temporal analysis. For this, an action research study is designed and conducted to improve the software quality and the user experience of a web application using BNs as a technique to analyse software logs. To this aim, three models with BNs are created. As a result, multiple enhancement points have been identified within the application ranging from performance issues and errors to recurring user usage patterns. These enhancement points enable the creation of cards in the Scrum process of the web application, contributing to its data‐driven software maintenance. Finally, the authors consider that BNs within quality‐aware and data‐driven software maintenance have great potential as a software log analysis technique and encourage the community to deepen its possible applications. For this, the applied methodology and a replication package are shared.
Effects of the Parker spiral angle of the interplanetary magnetic field on the dawn-dusk asymmetry of the Martian magnetotail
Authors: Li Guokan , Lu Haoyu , Cao Jinbin , Li Yun , Li Shibang 
Published: February 2023

Context. The draping of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) around unmagnetized planets induces a magnetotail with a two-lobe plasma structure. On Mars, due to the impact of the IMF Parker spiral angle, the structure of its induced magnetotail is dawn-dusk asymmetric. Observational and numerical studies have shown the dawn-dusk asymmetric size of magnetic lobes and the shift of the polarity reversal layer and the inverse polarity reversal layer under different Parker spiral angles. Variation in the tail-region induced magnetic field with the Parker spiral angle is important in the evolution of the magnetotail. Further studies should investigate the influence of the magnetic pressure and field direction on the magnetic lobe structure and plasma boundary locations, as well as the relationship between the polarity reverse of the IMF and the Parker spiral angle.
Aims. This study aims to investigate the dawn-dusk asymmetric structure of the Martian magnetotail under different Parker-spiral IMF orientations. In this study, we used a multispecies magnetohydro-dynamic (MHD) model, which has been shown to self-consistently calculate the Mars-solar wind interaction, to investigate the effects of the Parker spiral angle on the structure of the Martian magnetotail. By comparing the magnetic field, large-scale configurations, and plasma boundary locations across various cases, we aim to clarify how variations in the IMF Parker spiral angle affect the magnetic pressure and field direction in the magnetotail and the locations and shapes of the magnetic lobes, polarity reversal layer, and inverse polarity reversal layer.
Methods. A three-dimensional and parallelized multispecies MHD model was constructed to simulate the global solar wind interaction with Mars. Four ion species, H+, O2+, O+, and CO2+, as well as the chemical reactions between them, such as photoionization, charge exchange, and recombination, were considered in the model to accurately calculate the ion distributions in the magnetosphere and ionosphere of Mars. Three cases with Parker spiral angles of 90, 56, and 30 degrees were examined, representing the perpendicular, standard, and quasi-parallel IMF relative to the solar wind flow, respectively.
Results. A symmetric magnetotail was reproduced in the case with a Parker spiral angle of 90° degrees. When the Parker spiral angle decreases, the magnetic pressure in the magnetic lobes reduces, and the flaring angle of the magnetic field becomes larger on the dawn side than on the dusk side. These two factors result in the shrinkage and extension of the magnetic lobes. Furthermore, the variation in magnetic pressure results in a polarity reversal layer bent toward the dawn side. Finally, we found that the inverse polarity reversal layer shrinks toward Mars with a decrease in the Parker spiral angle.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis collaborative European Academy of Plastic Surgery (EAFPS) study aimed to provide an overview of rhinoplasty practices, informing clinician and patient decision making. It is a multicenter cross-sectional study, reported as per Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. All EAFPS members were contacted via email, inviting them to participate. Members expressing an interest to participate were asked to anonymously complete a questionnaire, related to rhinoplasties that they performed as first/supervising surgeon over a period from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2022. A descriptive analysis was performed. One hundred and fifteen surgeons submitted data on 41,259 rhinoplasties from 33 countries. Eighty percent of rhinoplasties were primary, and 20% were secondary. Thirty five percent of primary rhinoplasties were closed and 65% were open. Thirty one percent of primary rhinoplasties were for cosmetic indications, 11% functional and 58% were for both. Of the 8147 secondary rhinoplasties, 44% were closed and 56% were open. Thirty percent were for cosmetic indications, 11% functional, and 59% for both cosmetic and functional. Ninety-one percent of rhinoplasties were performed by ENT surgeons, 3% by plastic surgeons, 5% by maxillofacial surgeons, and 1% were dual (maxillofacial and ENT) trained. One-thousand seven-hundred thirty primary rhinoplasties underwent revision surgery (5%) and 102 secondary rhinoplasties underwent revision surgery (1%). The most commonly reported indications for revision surgery were dorsal asymmetry, nasal blockage, and dissatisfaction with nasal tip. Three percent of rhinoplasties underwent preoperative psychological assessment. To the authors knowledge, this is the largest published rhinoplasty dataset. This study provides an overview of rhinoplasty practices that can be used for benchmarking and to guide clinician and patient decision making. Psychological assessment of prerhinoplasty appears insufficient with higher levels recommended to minimize unsuccessful outcomes. This study showcases the power of collaborative research and may serve as a catalyst for future collaborative facial plastic surgery research.

AbstractBackground Although the underlying genetic causes of intellectual disability (ID) continue to be rapidly identified, the biological pathways and processes that could be targets for a potential molecular therapy are not yet known. This study aimed to identify ID-related shared pathways and processes utilizing enrichment analyses.Methods In this multicenter study, causative genes of patients with ID were used as input for Disease Ontology (DO), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis.Results Genetic test results of 720 patients from 27 centers were obtained. Patients with chromosomal deletion/duplication, non-ID genes, novel genes, and results with changes in more than one gene were excluded. A total of 558 patients with 341 different causative genes were included in the study. Pathway-based enrichment analysis of the ID-related genes via ClusterProfiler revealed 18 shared pathways, with lysine degradation and nicotine addiction being the most common. The most common of the 25 overrepresented DO terms was ID. The most frequently overrepresented GO biological process, cellular component, and molecular function terms were regulation of membrane potential, ion channel complex, and voltage-gated ion channel activity/voltage-gated channel activity, respectively.Conclusion Lysine degradation, nicotine addiction, and thyroid hormone signaling pathways are well-suited to be research areas for the discovery of new targeted therapies in ID patients.

AbstractAn electrochemical cross-coupling reaction between arylboronic esters and aryllithiums was developed. The presence of Br– in the electrolyte was found to be essential for the reaction. NaBr was chosen as the electrolyte for its inexpensiveness and abundance, and also acted as a halogen mediator. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions to afford biaryls.
A New Method for the Synthesis of 1-Methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate Derivatives, Employing Copper(II)
Authors: Akbari Ali , Faryabi Muhammad Saleh 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe report an efficient method for synthesizing 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylates by cross-dehydrogenative coupling. However, the coupling reactions are a way to functionalize the α-carbon of iminiums from tertiary amines. The synthesis of 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylates from N,N-dimethylaniline with bromoacetates has not been reported. In the present work, we describe a novel route for synthesizing 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylates with N,N-dimethylaniline and a wide range of phenyl bromoacetate derivatives. Features such as a simple procedure and good to excellent yields (69–90%) make this method a highly efficient procedure for the preparation of indole derivatives using Cu(OAc)2·H2O as a catalyst in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide.

Abstract
Introduction Aldosterone excess is linked to cardiovascular events and
mortality as well as to low-grade inflammation in the context of metabolic
diseases. Whether mildly elevated aldosterone levels in the general population
promote cardiovascular risk is still under debate. We analyzed the association
of plasma aldosterone concentrations with incident cardiovascular events,
cardiovascular and all-cause mortality as well as with biomarkers of subclinical
inflammation in the population-based KORA F4 study.
Methods Plasma aldosterone concentrations were measured with an in-house
immunoflurometric assay. The analyses included 2935 participants (n=1076
for selected biomarkers of subclinical inflammation) with a median follow-up of
8.7 (8.2; 9.1) years. The associations were estimated using Cox proportional
hazard and linear regression models adjusted for renin, sex, age, body mass
index, arterial hypertension, diabetes, estimated glomerular filtration rate,
low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, physical activity, smoking, use
of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers,
beta-blockers, diuretics and calcium channel blockers.
Results Aldosterone was significantly associated with all-cause mortality
(hazard ratio per standard deviation increase: 1.20; 95% confidence
interval 1.04–1.37), but not with cardiovascular mortality, incident
cardiovascular events, or with biomarkers of subclinical inflammation.
Conclusions Aldosterone was associated with all-cause mortality in the
population-based KORA F4 study, but the previously described associations of
excess aldosterone with cardiovascular complications and biomarkers of
subclinical inflammation could not be shown.

Published: February 2023

AbstractA bimetallic synthesis of 2-arylindoles from alcohols and anilines is described. The dehydrogenation or oxidation of a secondary alcohol was performed by Ni- or Mn-catalyzed reactions, respectively. The formed ketone was converted into an imine intermediate that was later cyclized to the corresponding 2-arylindole by a Pd-catalyzed oxidative cyclization. A series of 2-arylindoles were prepared without isolation of the intermediates generated. The compatibility of the catalysts was investigated, and the optimized protocol opens room for the integration of Earth-abundant metals and palladium complexes to improve the sustainability of the synthesis of N-heterocycles.
The Association between ACTN3 R577X Polymorphism and Range of
Motion: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe R577X polymorphism in the α-actinin-3 gene (ACTN3) is
associated with muscle strength and power; there is an association between
ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and range of motion (ROM). We examined the
effect of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism on ROM through meta-analysis and
systematic review. Relevant studies published before April 14, 2022 were
identified from the PubMed database using the following keywords and Boolean
operators: (“flexibility” or “Joint Range of
Motion” or “Joint Flexibility” or “Range of
motion”) and (“ACTN3” or “alpha-actinin
3”). Studies that met the following criteria were included: (1)
published in English, (2) included human subjects, (3) provided ROM
measurements, and (4) analyzed the ACTN3 R577X genotype. A total of 2908
participants from seven studies were included in the meta-analysis. The additive
genetic model was assessed using a meta-regression model, and dominant and
recessive models were analyzed using a random effects model. The ROM in the
XX+RX genotype was significantly higher than that in the RR genotype
(recessive model: p<0.001), and it increased additively in the order
XX>RX>RR (additive model: p=0.029). However, no
significant association was observed in the dominant model. These findings
further elucidate the association between flexibility and the ACTN3 R577X
genotype.
