Evolvable design of network-oriented services based on a core/periphery structure
Authors: Takagi Shiori , Arakawa Shin’ichi , Murata Masayuki 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn recent years, many new network-oriented services have emerged, and such services will need to be virtualized in the multi-access edge computing environment, which is currently being standardized along with fifth-generation network technology. The environment surrounding the service functions network changes over time, such as breaking changes of APIs, and these changes impact the services. The service design should be adaptable to user requirements and environmental changes for accommodating a large number of services at low cost. In addition, it is required not only to assume environmental changes when initially designing the service functions network, but also to enable the network to continue to change its structure to adapt to new environmental changes in the future. In this paper, we propose a method to evolve the entire network of service functions based on a core/periphery structure. The advantage of the core/periphery structure is that it helps reduce the costs for maintaining or changing services by dividing the service functions into core and periphery functions. We propose a method to evolve a service functions network based on this core/periphery structure. Our method evolves the structure of the service functions network at low cost by keeping the core and peripheral functions at the appropriate scale. In addition, our proposed method accommodates almost 100% of randomly generated service chains, and holds their length to less than twice the minimum chain length. Our simulation results reveal that the structure of the service functions networks can continue to evolve at a low cost and maintain a high service accommodation ratio.

AbstractIntraspecific plant chemodiversity shapes plant-environment interactions. Within species, chemotypes can be defined according to variation in dominant specialised metabolites belonging to certain classes. Different ecological functions could be assigned to these distinct chemotypes. However, the roles of other metabolic variation and the parental origin (or genotype) of the chemotypes remain poorly explored. Here, we first compared the capacity of terpenoid profiles and metabolic fingerprints to distinguish five chemotypes of common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) and depict metabolic differences. Metabolic fingerprints captured higher variation in metabolites while preserving the ability to define chemotypes. These differences might influence plant performance and interactions with the environment. Next, to characterise the influence of the maternal origin on chemodiversity, we performed variation partitioning and generalised linear modelling. Our findings revealed that maternal origin was a higher source of chemical variation than chemotype. Predictive metabolomics unveiled 184 markers predicting maternal origin with 89% accuracy. These markers included, among others, phenolics, whose functions in plant-environment interactions are well established. Hence, these findings place parental genotype at the forefront of intraspecific chemodiversity. We recommend considering this factor when comparing the ecology of various chemotypes. Additionally, the combined inclusion of inherited variation in main terpenoids and other metabolites in computational models may help connect chemodiversity and evolutionary principles.

AbstractThe Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) aims to compile a Human Reference Atlas (HRA) for the healthy adult body at the cellular level. Functional tissue units (FTUs), relevant for HRA construction, are of pathobiological significance. Manual segmentation of FTUs does not scale; highly accurate and performant, open-source machine-learning algorithms are needed. We designed and hosted a Kaggle competition that focused on development of such algorithms and 1200 teams from 60 countries participated. We present the competition outcomes and an expanded analysis of the winning algorithms on additional kidney and colon tissue data, and conduct a pilot study to understand spatial location and density of FTUs across the kidney. The top algorithm from the competition, Tom, outperforms other algorithms in the expanded study, while using fewer computational resources. Tom was added to the HuBMAP infrastructure to run kidney FTU segmentation at scale—showcasing the value of Kaggle competitions for advancing research.

Abstract
Purpose As a public health emergency of international concern, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) still lacks specific antiviral drugs, and symptomatic treatment is currently the mainstay. The overactivated inflammatory response in COVID-19 patients is associated with a high risk of critical illness or even death. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can mitigate inflammation and inhibit edema formation. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of LIPUS therapy for COVID-19 pneumonia.
Materials and Methods 62 patients were randomly assigned to a treatment group (LIPUS treatment area – Group 1; self-control area – Group 2) and an external control group (Group 3). The primary outcomes were the volume absorption rate (VAR) and the area absorption rate (AAR) of lung inflammation in CT images.
Results After an average duration of treatment 7.2 days, there were significant differences in AAR and VAR between Group 1 and Group 2 (AAR 0.25 vs 0.12, p=0.013; VAR 0.35 vs 0.11, p=0.005), and between Group 1 and Group 3 (AAR 0.25 vs 0.11, p=0.047; VAR 0.35 vs 0.19, p=0.042). Neither AAR nor VAR was statistically different between Group 2 and Group 3. After treatment, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, leukocyte, and fingertip arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) improved in Group 1, while in Group 3 only fingertip SaO2 increased.
Conclusion LIPUS therapy reduced lung inflammation and serum inflammatory factor levels in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, which might be a major advancement in COVID-19 pneumonia therapy.
Assessment and Techniques for Endoscopic Closure
Authors: Siddharthan Ragavan , Marcello Peter 
Published: July 2023

AbstractEndoscopic closure is an essential technique to perform safe advanced endoscopy. Without appropriate closure of a defect, patients can experience spillage of fecal contents into the peritoneal cavity resulting in abdominal sepsis. The essential components to performing endoscopic closure are assessing the defect appropriately and choosing the correct closure technique. Assessing the defect involves five separate elements: timing, size, depth, shape, blood flow, and location in the colon or rectum. Understanding how each of these elements contributes toward a successful closure allows an endoscopist to choose the proper technique for closure. There have been many types of closure techniques described in the literature but the most common are through the scope clips, over the scope clips, and endoscopic suturing. There are advantages and disadvantages of each of these closure techniques. In this manuscript, we will discuss these common techniques as well as some additional techniques and the situations where they can be employed.

Published: July 2023

This research utilizes waste heat energy as a sustainable energy source to enhance pyroelectric power output by combining pyroelectric nanogenerators with an external pulsed electric field. When the surface temperature of the pyroelectric body varies, applying different pulses of the external electric field results in maximum power accumulation. A novel power-generating experimental setup was developed to measure and compute pyroelectric power generation. A standard Fuji ceramic C-9 sample was used to generate pyroelectric energy in a 20 °C temperature range from 120 to 140 °C. The continuous temperature variation frequency was 0.05 Hz, and the pulsed electric field was applied when the temperature rose. Pulses of the electric field with widths of 10, 50, 100, and 200 ms were applied to the sample under different pulse amplitudes, and the amplitude of each pulse was 250, 500, 1000, or 1500 V/mm. The maximum power generated through the application of an external pulsed electric field under the above-mentioned conditions was evaluated. This system had the highest power density of 0.204 mJ cm−2 °C−1 kV−1. In addition, for the lowest input power, the maximum power generation condition was a 10 ms pulse width and an amplitude of 250 V mm−1 in the applied electric field. This state might power smart sensor modules, IoT devices, automobiles, and other waste heat energy applications. Nano-pulse electric field applications may reduce input power to its lowest level, dependent on net-producing power. Therefore, new researchers can use net-generation power efficiency to create a large-scale power source using multiple pyroelectric arrays.
Collection nouns as a derivational category in Spanish1
Authors: Kleineberg Désirée 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The paper examines the productivity of a
constructional schema of collectivity in Spanish. We
analyse nonce-formations derived from typical collective suffixes
and classify their meanings. The analysis reveals that the
derivation of collection nouns in Spanish is productive, mostly
represented by the suffixes ‑
erío
and ‑amen. A
comparison to French and Italian data further reveals a continuum of
productivity of this schema in Romance languages. In Italian, it has
various subordinated constructions instantiated by the suffixes
‑ame, ‑
ume
and ‑
aglia
, with French only being
represented by the suffix ‑
aille
. The study reveals a
detailed picture not only of the functional distribution of each
suffix and language, but also the functional links between different
forms, i.e. suffixes, and functions. The analysis implies that an
onomasiological examination of collective nouns in Romance is not
only fruitful, but indispensable.
From idioms to semi-schematic constructions and vice
versa
Authors: Mellado Blanco Carmen 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Taking as a starting point the spatial
construction [SUB V

estar

a
un
X{unit_of_measurement}

de-
PP{place_a}]:
‘the distance to PLACE A is exactly
X{unit_of_measurement}’ and its metaphorical
extensions within the so-called family of proximity constructions,
the present corpus-based study aims to demonstrate the continuum
between partially lexically fixed and fully lexically specified
constructions (idioms) by highlighting the interaction between units
of both kinds on the basis of horizontal and vertical links. Another
important aim of this research is to explain the relationship
between the spatial, temporal, modal-conditional and epistemic
modality meanings observed in the proximity constructions.
In contrast to the traditional phraseological theory, Construction
Grammar represents an ideal framework for explaining the creative
potential of idioms and for describing the different degrees of
schematicity and entrenchment of constructions along the
lexicon-grammar continuum.
Quotative que constructions in
Spanish
Authors: Gras Pedro , Pérez Fernández Sofía , Brisard Frank 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Construction Grammar is a theoretical approach
amenable to accommodating any conventional feature of the meaning or
form of a construction as part of its description, including lectal
information. This paper provides a constructional analysis of the
quotative
que
construction in
Spanish, focusing on discourse and geographical variation. It
demonstrates that a model based on different levels of
generalization (parent schemas vs. subschemas) allows us not only to
describe the specific contexts in which constructions are used
(subschemas), but also to incorporate geographical and discourse
variation that could not be captured at a higher level of
abstraction (parent schema).
Que conste/sepas and
como si
constructions in Spanish
Authors: Fuentes Rodríguez Catalina , Pérez Béjar Víctor 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is twofold. First, it
explores the discursive functioning of two constructions in Spanish:
[
que conste/sepas

(
que
) + clause] and
[
como si
+ subjunctive
clause]. Second, it proposes, to this end, to extend the concept of
“construction”, originating in Construction Grammar, towards a
theoretical-methodological instrument necessary to explain discourse
syntax, focusing on the description of the phenomena and their
evolution. So far, the existing theoretical models on the
architecture of discourse have determined and described categories
(discourse markers) and functions (connection or modalization, among
others). In macro-syntax or thetical grammar, even peripheral
functions related to a proposition have been mentioned. But the
existence of sentence patterns that acquire a discursive function in
terms of a “construction”, and develop procedural meaning as a
whole, has not been considered. Their analysis must take into
account various factors, since the procedural meaning carried by the
construction arises from the combination of open and fixed slots.
These constructions are usually inserted into the syntactic scheme
of the sentence or represent suspended statements that operate in
reactive interventions. They represent a type of syntax different
from the one traditionally considered, which confirms the need to
use this extended concept of “construction” in the syntax of
discourse as a methodological tool with great potential to explain
all the diversity it contains.
A constructional analysis of digo
yo in peninsular Spanish
Authors: Martínez Vázquez Montserrat 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper examines the variable functions of
the clausal construction
digo
yo
(DY) ‘I say’ in contemporary
Peninsular Spanish. A corpus-based analysis shows pendulation
between a communicative DY, which introduces past quotes, and a
metacommunicative DY, which functions as a comment clause. In
initial position, DY resembles a matrix clause, however, its
subject-verb inversion produces a backgrounding effect which renders
the conjunction
que
(‘that’)
unnecessary and favours a parenthetical analysis of DY. In medial
and final positions DY is an evidential/epistemic comment clause
which overlaps with other epistemic comment clauses (e.g.

creo yo
‘I believe’,

pienso yo
‘I think’).
In order to provide a unified account of the different uses of DY, a
constructional approach is taken. In line with Van Bogaert (2010) and Kaltenböck (2010, 2013), the formal and functional features of
DY are explained through a constructional network. A hierarchical
network captures its links to the communicative construction, while
its analogical connections to other epistemic constructions are
captured in a horizontal network (Traugott, 2018).
What can collaboratively produced lists tell us about
constructions?1
Authors: Dressel Dennis , Dankel Philipp , Teixeira Kalkhoff Alexander M. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Based on the investigation of the joint
production of lists in spoken Spanish, this contribution advocates
for a stronger theoretical consideration of sequential and embodied
aspects as part of constructional knowledge in CxG. By analyzing
video recorded conversations, we examine how interlocutors
co-construct lists in real-time. Lists conventionally consist of a
three-component sequence – onset, enumeration (body), and coda. Our
data shows that interactants orient to these components beyond
morphosyntactic features and deploy shared knowledge of
semanto-syntactic, sequential, turn-constructional, prosodic, and
bodily features. By closely monitoring and coordination each other’s
situated multimodal resources, interactants recognize emergent
action spaces that allow them to co-construct lists smoothly at
different sequential positions and thereby accomplish a variety of
social actions. We conclude that the highly emergent yet robust
character of co-constructed lists provides a powerful example for
how interactional creativity leads to constructional flexibility,
yet warrants pattern stability at the same time.
Construction grammar and foreign language learning (L3)

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper focuses on predicative constructions
with
ser
and
have-constructions with
tener
in written language
production of native German students studying Spanish as a third
language (L3). First, I establish a common ground between a
usage-based approach and construction grammar and then define
so-called ‘construction learning’ in the teaching of a foreign
language. Subsequently, the study investigates the use of

tener
(‘to have’) and

ser
(‘to be’), both
irregular high-frequency verbs, in the third person singular and the
constructional embedding of these two verbal forms in patterns like
[N
es
ADJ]
(
Mi amigo es alto
‘my
friend is tall’) and [ART N
tiene
ART N ADJ]
(
La chica tiene los ojos
azules
‘the girl has blue eyes’) by 12-
and 13-year-old and 15- and 16-year-old native German students. As a
text type, the ‘description of the person’ was chosen – a text type
which is already practiced in the first year of language learning
and is therefore suitable for comparative corpus-based studies of
different learner levels.

Analysis of Tapioca Industrial Solid Waste as Coal Substitution
Authors: Jerry  , Febriyanto Pramahadi , Satria Arysca Wisnu 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Tapioca industrial solid waste is a very abundant and high cellulose content that makes solid waste from tapioca industrial an alternative material substituted to coal. The low-calorie value of solid waste is around 2783 Kcal/kg, which requires an effort to increase calorie value—increasing the calorie value of solid waste by carbonization in the pyrolysis furnace. The study of solid waste with pyrolysis to replace coal and improve the calorie value similar to commercial coal needs to be done. In this study, the influence of time and temperature on the carbonization of solid waste was examined. The carbonization temperature was 300, 350, and 400°C, and the carbonization time was 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Solid waste was pyrolysis and analyzed for calorie value and proximate test (moisture content and ash content). The results showed that solid waste from tapioca industrial could be substituted for coal because it has a low ash content and moisture content, with a maximum ash content of 5.9% and a maximum moisture content of 1.6%. The optimal temperature and carbonization time are 350oC and 90 minutes, with the calorific value of the material produced at 6047 Kcal/kg.
