A joint triple extraction method by entity role attribute recognition
Authors: Jing Xin , Han Xi , Li Bobo , Guo Junjun , Li Kun 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn recent years, joint triple extraction methods have received extensive attention because they have significantly promoted the progress of information extraction and many related downstream tasks in the field of natural language processing. However, due to the inherent complexity of language such as relation overlap, joint extraction model still faces great challenges. Most of the existing models to solve the overlapping problem adopt the strategy of constructing complex semantic shared encoding features with all types of relations, which makes the model suffer from redundancy and poor inference interpretability in the prediction process. Therefore, we propose a new model for entity role attribute recognition based on triple holistic fusion features, which can extract triples (including overlapping triples) under a limited number of relationships, and its prediction process is simple and easy explain. We adopt the strategy of low-level feature separation and high-level concept fusion. First, we use the low-level token features to perform entity and relationship prediction in parallel, then use the residual connection with attention calculation to perform feature fusion on the candidate triples in the entity-relation matrix, and finally determine the existence of triple by identifying the entity role attributes. Experimental results show that the proposed model is very effective and achieves state-of-the-art performance on the public datasets.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe human skin barrier, a biological imperative, is impaired in inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Staphylococcus aureus is associated with AD lesions and contributes to pathological inflammation and further barrier impairment. S. aureus secretes extracellular proteases, such as V8 (or ‘SspA’), which cleave extracellular proteins to reduce skin barrier. Previous studies demonstrated that the host defence peptide human beta-defensin 2 (HBD2) prevented V8-mediated damage. Here, the mechanism of HBD2-mediated barrier protection in vitro is examined. Application of exogenous HBD2 provided protection against V8, irrespective of timeline of application or native peptide folding, raising the prospect of simple peptide analogues as therapeutics. HBD2 treatment, in context of V8-mediated damage, modulated the proteomic/secretomic profiles of HaCaT cells, altering levels of specific extracellular matrix proteins, potentially recovering V8 damage. However, HBD2 alone did not substantially modulate cellular proteomic/secretomics profiles in the absence of damage, suggesting possible therapeutic targeting of lesion damage sites only. HBD2 did not show any direct protease inhibition or induce expression of known antiproteases, did not alter keratinocyte migration or proliferation, or form protective nanonet structures. These data validate the barrier-protective properties of HBD2 in vitro and establish key protein datasets for further targeted mechanistic analyses.
Auditory and Nonauditory Risks Related to Roadway Traffic Noise: An Overview for Audiologists
Authors: Warren Sarah E. , Bell Karen L. 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
Roadway traffic noise is recognized as a public health concern as it is associated with negative auditory and nonauditory health outcomes. This article provides an overview of roadway noise exposure and the related negative health consequences. The overview specifically includes information on the sources of roadway traffic noise, noise exposure measurement techniques, historic and current U.S. policy regarding roadway noise exposure, and practical suggestions for audiologists for mitigating the negative consequences of excessive roadway noise exposure. The purpose of this overview is to educate audiologists of these effects.

Conclusions:
Roadway traffic noise exposure is a public health concern both nationally and globally. Nonauditory effects of excessive roadway noise exposure are better understood than auditory effects; however, more evidence is needed to thoroughly to assess the risks to the public. Opportunities in the United States exist at the federal and local level to better understand the effects of roadway traffic noise and mitigate undesirable auditory and nonauditory health consequences. To address noise exposure as a growing public health concern, audiologists should be aware of the effects that roadway noise exposure has on the general population as well as provide education and preventative health care services.
Magnetic equivalent circuit and finite element modelling of anisotropic rotor axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motors with fractional slot distributed winding
Authors: Nyitrai Attila , Kuczmann Miklós 
Published: February 2023

AbstractAxial flux motors have been in the focus of many research work due to their promising properties when compared to conventional radial flux machines. Axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motors (AFPMSM) studied in the literature were mostly limited to surface‐mounted permanent magnet machines (SPMSM), excluding only a few studies about axial flux internal permanent magnet (AFIPM) or permanent magnet‐assisted synchronous reluctance (AFPMaSynRM) machines. Since numerous rotor topologies have been proposed and investigated in case of radial flux motors, analogous design methodologies can be developed in case of axial flux motors with rotor saliency. The parametrisation and modelling of a magnetically anisotropic rotor axial flux motor are presented. This approach is described generally and the method is applied to an example motor geometry. The results were validated by FEA (Finite Element Analysis), using the 2D multi‐slice and 3D modelling approaches. The modelling error was calculated and the analytical and numerical methods were compared. It was found that the proposed model was suitable for calculating important parameters of the anisotropic rotor axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (AnR‐AFPMSM) during the design process.

Published: February 2023

AbstractA low‐profile planar end‐fire broadband antenna with wide beamwidth is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW), an antipodal dipole, and a pair of directors. A transition from the GCPW to the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) with tapered coupling slots is designed to achieve a wide impedance bandwidth. Wide beamwidths of the proposed antenna are realised through the antipodal dipole with bilaterally symmetrical sector arms. A pair of directors are symmetrically located on both sides of the sector arms to further widen the beamwidth. An antenna prototype operating at Ka band with a size of 2.18 λ0 × 0.77 λ0 × 0.06 λ0 (λ0 is the wavelength of the centre frequency) is fabricated based on the conventional printed circuit board process. The measurement results show that the reflection coefficient is lower than −12.5 dB in the frequency range of 32.2–37.0 GHz. At 35.5 GHz, the peak gain is 3.8 dBi, and the half‐power beamwidths (HPBWs) in E‐plane and H‐plane are 116° and 215°, respectively.
A whole control strategy for cascaded H‐bridge rectifiers under distorted grid voltage and unbalanced load
Authors: Liu Haoran , Ma Lei , Song Wensheng , Zhu Junjie , Peng Lin 
Published: February 2023

AbstractControl for single‐phase cascaded H‐bridge rectifier (CHBR) under distorted grid voltage is seldom discussed in the existing control methods; a modified direct power control (DPC) scheme is therefore proposed in this paper. A simple power control structure with proportional‐integral control method is first presented, which can discard phase‐locked loop (PLL) and coordinate transformation. Then, an improved fictitious orthogonal algorithm is proposed to provide a better anti‐disturbance ability compared with the traditional second‐order generalized integrator (SOGI). Since the orthogonal component of the grid current runs concurrently with the power reference, it offers an excellent dynamic performance in inner loop. On the other hand, a voltage balancing control (VBC) model by the relationship between the difference of dc‐side voltage square and that of power is established. On this basis, an internal model VBC (IM‐VBC) method is provided to reduce the parameter tuning complexity. With this method, the dynamic performance of voltage balancing on the dc side is improved. Finally, several test results on hardware‐in‐the‐loop (HIL) and scale‐down platform are demonstrated, which validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.
Multiscale and multidirectional very long baseline interferometry imaging with CLEAN
Authors: Müller H. , Lobanov A. P. 
Published: February 2023

Context. Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is a radio-astronomical technique whereby the correlated signal from various baselines is combined into an image of the highest possible angular resolution. Due to the sparsity of the measurements, this imaging procedure constitutes an ill-posed inverse problem. For decades, the CLEAN algorithm has been the standard choice in VLBI studies, despite it bringing on some serious disadvantages and pathologies that are brought on by the requirements of modern frontline VLBI applications.
Aims. We developed a novel multiscale CLEAN deconvolution method (DoB-CLEAN) based on continuous wavelet transforms that address several pathologies in CLEAN imaging. We benchmarked this novel algorithm against CLEAN reconstructions on synthetic data and reanalyzed BL Lac observations of RadioAstron with DoB-CLEAN.
Methods. The DoB-CLEAN method approaches the image via multiscalar and multidirectional wavelet dictionaries. Two different dictionaries were used: 1) a difference of elliptical spherical Bessel functions dictionary fitted to the uv-coverage of the observation that is used to sparsely represent the features in the dirty image; 2) a difference of elliptical Gaussian wavelet dictionary that is well suited to represent relevant image features cleanly. The deconvolution was performed by switching between the dictionaries.
Results. DoB-CLEAN achieves a super-resolution compared to CLEAN and remedies the spurious regularization properties of CLEAN. In contrast to CLEAN, the representation via basis functions has a physical meaning. Hence, the computed deconvolved image still fits the observed visibilities, in contrast to CLEAN.
Conclusions. State-of-the-art multiscalar imaging approaches seem to outperform single-scalar standard approaches in VLBI and are well suited to maximize the extraction of information in ongoing frontline VLBI applications.
Erratum: Wie beeinflussen Platin-Nanopartikel die Zellviabilität der

Einleitung Systemische Kortison- und Antibiotikagabe können bei
einem geringen Prozentsatz der CI-Träger die erhöhten Impedanzen
nicht normalisieren. In Studien werden erodierte Platinelektrodenkontakte als
mögliche Ursache genannt. Ziel dieser Studie ist die Charakterisierung
der Effekte von Platin-Nanopartikeln (Pt-NP, 3 nm) auf die
HEI-OC1-Zellen und Spiralganglionneuronen (SGN) in der Zellkultur.
Methoden Die metabolische Aktivität mittels Resazurin wurde in den
HEI-OC1-Zellen mit 50–150 µg/ml Pt-NP ermittelt.
Die Überlebensrate und das Neuritenwachstum der SGN, dissoziiert aus den
postnatalen Ratten (P5) und kultiviert für 48 h, wurde nach Gabe
der Pt-NP (20–100 µg/ml) mittels Färbung
der Neurofilament-Antigene quantitativ bestimmt. Mittels Raster- (REM) und
Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie (TEM) wurden Veränderungen der
Morphologie und der Ultrastrukturen der Zellen analysiert.
Ergebnisse Pt-NP zwischen 75 und 150 µg/ml
reduzierten die metabolische Aktivität der HEI-OC1-Zellen, ohne jedoch
zytotoxisch zu wirken. REM und TEM zeigten, dass
100 µg/ml Pt-NP nicht nur die Apoptose, sondern auch
Reparaturvorgänge mitels des autophagosomal-lysosomalen Systems
induzierten. Bei keiner Pt-NP-Konzentration wurde ein SGN-Verlust oder eine
Reduktion des Neuritenwachstums gefunden.
Schlußfolgerungen Pt-NP reduzierten in Konzentrationen ab
75 µg/ml die mitochondriale Aktivität in den
HEI-OC1-Zellen, induzierten jedoch nicht den Zelltod. TEM weist dagegen auf
effektive Reparaturmechanismen hin. Im Vergleich dazu führten Pt-NP zu
keiner direkten Beeinträchtigung des SGN-Stoffwechsels. Es ist zu
untersuchen, ob eine Exposition der SGN und Gliazellen mit PT-NP über
eine längere Kultivierungsdauer zur Schädigung des Stoffwechsels
der Neuronen führt.

Published: February 2023

AbstractMigrative thioamination of aryne intermediates takes place using various o-iodoaryl triflates and sulfilimines. The selective migration realizes the facile synthesis of a broad range of highly functionalized o-thioaminated diaryl sulfides. We succeeded in the ring expansion of cyclic sulfilimines enabling us to prepare eight- and nine-membered organosulfurs from dibenzothiophene- and thianthrene-type sulfilimines, respectively.

Published: February 2023

AbstractLeft ventricular thrombus is a complication of myocardial infarction, ventricular aneurysm, myocarditis, and cardiomyopathies, such as Takotsubo syndrome. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who was diagnosed as left ventricular thrombus resulting from transient Takotsubo syndrome. The thrombus was completely removed using video-assisted thoracoscopy through right minithoracotomy. This approach is less invasive and can provide better visualization, thereby avoiding left ventriculotomy.

Abstract
Background Complexities in TNM staging in epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) may lead to errors in treatment selection, leading to major surgical interventions in patients with low survival expectations.
Methods Sixty-nine stage I epithelioid MPM patients, including 27 patients treated with pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) and multimodal therapy (MMT) (the P/D [MMT] group), and 42 patients treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (the CRT group), were included in the study. After an initial evaluation of overall survival, all patients were grouped in terms of histopathological parameters and treatment types, and then, a secondary survival evaluation was performed for the groups.
Results Forty-one patients were male, the mean age was 61.8 years. The median survival time was 26 months in the P/D (MMT) group, and 19.6 months in the CRT group, but the difference was not statistically significant. After grouping according to pathological criteria, a median survival time of 32.4 ± 2.9 months in the P/D (MMT) group and 21.9 ± 3.2 months in the CRT group was obtained among patients with histopathological low-grade tumors. Among patients with high-grade tumors, the median survival time was 18.3 ± 2.6 months in the P/D (MMT) group and 17 ± 4.4 months in the CRT group. Among patients with low-grade tumors, the P/D (MMT) group had longer survival. Median survival times were similar among patients with high-grade tumors.
Conclusion In epithelioid MPM, histopathological grading by video-assisted thoracic surgery pleural biopsy can prove accurate in selecting patients for P/D and MMT.

AbstractExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was first started for humans in early 1970s by Robert Bartlett. Since its inception, there have been numerous challenges with extracorporeal circulation, such as coagulation and platelet activation, followed by consumption of coagulation factors and platelets, and biocompatibility of tubing, pump, and oxygenator. Unfractionated heparin (heparin hereafter) has historically been the defacto anticoagulant until recently. Also, coagulation monitoring was mainly based on bedside activated clotting time and activated partial thromboplastin time. In the past 50 years, the technology of ECMO has advanced tremendously, and thus, the survival rate has improved significantly. The indication for ECMO has also expanded. Among these are clinical conditions such as postcardiopulmonary bypass, sepsis, ECMO cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and even severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Not surprisingly, the number of ECMO cases has increased according to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry and prolonged ECMO support has become more prevalent. It is not uncommon for patients with COVID-19 to be on ECMO support for more than 1 year until recovery or lung transplant. With that being said, complications of bleeding, thrombosis, clot formation in the circuit, and intravascular hemolysis still remain and continue to be major challenges. Here, several clinical ECMO experts, including the “Father of ECMO”—Dr. Robert Bartlett, describe the history and advances of ECMO.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background Orbital blowout fractures are peculiar injuries causing disruption of both ocular function and symmetry. We present our experience with the use of a precontoured titanium mesh in orbital blowout fractures.
Methods A retrospective study of patients undergoing correction of orbital blowout fractures with a precontoured titanium mesh was done at a tertiary care center in Mumbai. Data regarding demographics and pre- and postoperative clinical and radiological attributes were retrieved and compared.
Results A total of 21 patients (19 males and 2 females) underwent correction of blowout fractures with a precontoured titanium mesh. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 10 months. Road traffic accident (76%) was the most common etiology. Twenty (95%) patients had impure blowout fractures and 1 (5%) patient had a pure blowout. The orbital floor was most commonly fractured (16 [76%]). Associated fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex were found in 71% of patients. All patients were operated on within 3 weeks of trauma. A comparison of the operated and uninjured sides on coronal views of computed tomography (CT) scan in nine patients by Photopea application revealed a correction of the increased cross-sectional area in all cases. Enophthalmos was completely corrected in 94% patients, while 92% patients had complete correction of diplopia. One patient with a comminuted zygomatic fracture had persistent diplopia and mild enophthalmos. Infraorbital paresthesia persisted in 58% patients at 6 months of follow-up. No significant postoperative complications were noted.
Conclusion The precontoured titanium mesh restores orbital wall anatomy and is safe, quick, fairly easy, and reproducible with a shorter learning curve. With proper patient selection and execution, prefabricated titanium mesh can serve as an excellent reconstructive option in blowout fractures of the orbit.

Published: February 2023

In this study, NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared as a thermophilic agent for magnetic thermotherapy. To improve biocompatibility, the particles were coated with polyethylene glycol, which is hydrophilic and nontoxic; X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed that the particle size could be controlled to 3, 6, 9, and 17 nm. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed PEG modification to the particles. Biocompatibility with cells were improved by coating with PEG of high molecular weight. The heat-generating effect of the particles was investigated by measuring the magnetic susceptibility and temperature rise in an AC magnetic field. Furthermore, a device using a zero-voltage switching circuit was developed to generate heat. Finally, in vitro experiments using human breast cancer cells were successfully performed to confirm the onset of the hyperthermia effect.
Magnetostructural transition and magnetocaloric effect in Mn0.5Fe0.5NiSi1−xAlx melt-spun ribbons (x = 0.055 and 0.060)

Published: February 2023

Melt-spun ribbons samples of the multicomponent alloy Mn0.5Fe0.5NiSi0.940Al0.060 were prepared and the magnetostructural transition (MST) and related magnetocaloric properties studied for as-solidified ribbons and ribbon samples annealed between 800 and 950 °C for 4 h. The results are compared with those reported in the literature for melt-spun ribbons with an Al content x = 0.055 and bulk alloys. It is shown that all samples undergo a first-order MST from a paramagnetic Ni2In-type hexagonal structure to a ferromagnetic TiNiSi-type orthorhombic one. Ribbons show broader isothermal entropy change ΔST(T) curves with moderate maximum values of |ΔST|max at 2 T (7.2–7.3 J kg−1 K−1) in comparison with the reported for bulk alloys. However, the average value of the magnetic hysteresis loss linked to the hexagonal-to-orthorhombic transition is low in comparison with the one reported for most magnetocaloric materials with first-order magnetostructural transitions. This work underlines the effectiveness of this rapid solidification technique to produce highly homogeneous ribbon samples of multicomponent alloys.
