Alkali antimonides are well established as high efficiency, low intrinsic emittance photocathodes for accelerators and photon detectors. However, conventionally grown alkali antimonide films are polycrystalline with surface disorder and roughness that can limit achievable beam brightness. Ordering the crystalline structure of alkali antimonides has the potential to deliver higher brightness electron beams by reducing surface disorder and enabling the engineering of material properties at the level of atomic layers. In this report, we demonstrate the growth of ordered Cs3Sb films on single crystal substrates 3C-SiC and graphene-coated 4H-SiC using pulsed laser deposition and conventional thermal evaporation growth techniques. The crystalline structures of the Cs3Sb films were examined using reflection high energy electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction diagnostics, while film thickness and roughness estimates were made using x-ray reflectivity. With these tools, we observed ordered domains in less than 10 nm thick films with quantum efficiencies greater than 1% at 530 nm. Moreover, we identify structural features such as Laue oscillations indicative of highly ordered films. We found that Cs3Sb films grew with flat, fiber-textured surfaces on 3C-SiC and with multiple ordered domains and sub-nanometer surface roughness on graphene-coated 4H-SiC under our growth conditions. We identify the crystallographic orientations of Cs3Sb grown on graphene-coated 4H-SiC substrates and discuss the significance of examining the crystal structure of these films for growing epitaxial heterostructures in future experiments.

Published: January 2025

Nanosecond pulse power has many driving advantages in the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) application field, including better discharge effect, higher discharge efficiency, and lower electrode temperature. A high-voltage pulse voltage power supply (HV-PVPS) with a multi-turn ratio linear pulse transformer (PT) based on Marx circuit and PT topologies are suitable for most DBD plasma applications with fewer expansion modules, lower cost, smaller volume, and higher reliability comparing with the all-solid-state Marx nanosecond pulse power supply. However, during the process of DBD driven by an HV-PVPS based on Marx and PT topologies, the PT is prone to magnetic core saturation, which limits the application for DBD. This paper proposes a novel MOSFET-resistor-diode (MRD) reset method based on the Marx switching control logic to solve the problem. Not only can this novel method solve the problem of magnetic core saturation but also can improve some critical parameters of the plasma discharge so that it enhances the strength of the discharge and augments the number of charged particles in the discharge space. This paper establishes a multi-module Marx-PT system model with an MRD magnetic reset branch. It proposes a control method for the model to improve the performance and efficiency of the system. Finally, a 15 kV HV-PVPS prototype is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed MRD PT magnetic reset method. The average pulse power output of the whole prototype is greatly improved, and it can achieve an average pulse power output of 400 W. Furthermore, the electrode loads of different DBD reactors can be driven well.

Main text
The comparison CCQM-K170 is a subsequent key comparison of CCQM-K36.2016 and CCQM-K92. It aims to demonstrate the capabilities of the participating NMIs/DIs to measure the electrolytic conductivity of aqueous electrolyte solution in the electrolytic conductivity range around 0.5 S m-1 and 20 S m-1. The coordinating institute (NIM) prepared two potassium chloride solutions with the nominal electrolytic conductivity of 0.5 S m-1 and 20 S m-1, and verified their homogeneity and stability. Seventeen and twelve NMIs/DIs, respectively, reported their measurement results of 0.5 S m-1 and 20 S m-1 samples, respectively. The institutes used primary and secondary methods, and commercial instruments. Institutes using non-NMI CRMs as calibrants or CRMs from a participating NMI were excluded from KCRV calculation. The measurement results traceable to CRMs from the same non-participating NMI were combined into one result to be used for KCRV calculation. The results of institutes which have indicated technical problems were also excluded from KCRV calculation. The medians were agreed upon as the KCRVs for 0.5 S m-1 and 20 S m-1 solutions based on CCQM/2013-22 guidance document. Good agreement of the results was observed for the majority of participants. The results of this key comparison are considered representative for electrolytic conductivity measurement of aqueous electrolyte solution in the electrolytic conductivity range 0.15 S m-1 to 1.5 S m-1 and 5 S m-1 to 25 S m-1, respectively. This KC is intended as an updated support for the corresponding calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) entries in the key comparison data base of the BIPM.

Causally Enhanced Initial Conditions: a novel soft constraints strategy for Physics Informed neural networks

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) is a deep learning 1/22/2025method designed for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Learning the initial conditions accurately is crucial when employing PINNs for PDEs solve. However, simply adjusting weights and imposing hard constraints may not always lead to better learning of the initial conditions, sometimes it even makes it difficult for neural networks to converge. To enhance the accuracy of PINNs in learning initial conditions, this paper proposes a novel strategy that is named Causally Enhanced Initial Conditions (CEIC). This strategy works by embedding a new loss in the loss function: the loss is constructed by the derivative of the initial condition and the derivative of the neural network at the initial condition. Furthermore, to respect the causality in learning the derivative, a novel causality coefficient be introduced for the training when selecting multiple derivatives. Additionally, because CEIC can provide more accurate pseudo-labels in the first subdomain, it is compatible with the temporal marching strategy. Experiment results demonstrate that CEIC outperforms hard constraints and improves the overall accuracy of PT-PINNs. For the 1d-KdV equation, reaction equation, convection equation, the CEIC method proposed in this paper has reduced the relative error by at least 60% compared to previous methods.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The interplay among electronic topological phase transitions and superconductivity in the field of condensed matter physics has consistently captivated researchers. Here we have succeeded in modulating the Lifshitz transition by pressure and realized superconductivity. At 25.7 GPa, superconductivity with a transition temperature of 1.9 K has been observed in 3R-NbS2. The Hall coefficient changes from negative to positive at 14 GPa indicating a Lifshitz transition in 3R-NbS2, and the carrier concentration continues to increase with pressure. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the appearance of superconductivity is not attributable to structural transitions. Based on theoretical calculations, the emergence of new band is attributed to a Lifshitz transition and the new band coincide with the Fermi surface at a pressure of 30 GPa. These findings provide new insights into the relationship between the Lifshitz transition and superconductivity.

Abstract
In fundus images, precisely segmenting retinal blood vessels is important for diagnosing eye-related conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy and hypertensive retinopathy or other eye-related disorders. In this work, we propose an enhanced U-shaped network with dual-attention, named DAU-Net, divided into encoder and decoder parts. Wherein, we replace the traditional convolutional layers with ConvNeXt Block and SnakeConv Block to strengthen its recognition ability for different forms of blood vessels while lightweight the model. Additionally, we designed two efficient attention modules, namely Local-Global Attention (LGA) and Cross-Fusion Attention (CFA). Specifically, LGA conducts attention calculations on the features extracted by the encoder to accentuate vessel-related characteristics while suppressing irrelevant background information; CFA addresses potential information loss during feature extraction by globally modeling pixel interactions between encoder and decoder features. Comprehensive experiments in terms of public datasets DRIVE, CHASE_DB1, and STARE demonstrate that DAU-Net obtains excellent segmentation results on all three datasets. The results show an AUC of 0.9818, ACC of 0.8299, and F1 score of 0.9585 on DRIVE; 0.9894, 0.8499, and 0.9700 on CHASE_DB1; and 0.9908, 0.8620, and 0.9712 on STARE, respectively. These results strongly demonstrate the effectiveness of DAU-Net in retinal vessel segmentation, highlighting its potential for practical clinical use.
Marriage and Work

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses how marital status and gender affected women’s and men’s working lives in the period 1720 to 1880. It shows that because married people tended to have access to more resources than did the unmarried, marital status/household position remained very important for what women and men did to support themselves. Married women were active as producers in primary and secondary sectors and as providers of services and suppliers to markets. When they had the means and opportunities, they delegated childcare to others and their work was consequently, not strongly restricted by such responsibilities. Most marital partnerships can be described with the term two-supporter model. Nevertheless, despite these long-term continuities, there was also change. The chapter goes on to discuss trade activities and shifts in how the word hustru (ever-married woman) was used, and argues that the comparative advantage of being married declined towards the end of the period (1840–80). In tandem with growing social differentiation, there were small but significant shifts that favoured unmarried women and men and disfavoured married women and some married men.

Abstract
The sexual reproduction of triploids induces chromosomal karyotype variations, which are significant for germplasm resource innovation. Most triploid plants are with low fertility. Therefore, triploid offspring karyotypes’ variation pattern and phenotypic response remain poorly understood. Here, we employed three diploids with diverse genetic distances as male parents to cross-pollinate the female fertile triploid loquat Q24 to construct three experimental populations. The chromosome numbers of 93.82% of hybrid plants were 34~46 in three hybrid populations. All 168 aneuploids with 160 karyotypes and a small percentage of euploids were detected among 178 hybrids by the improved molecular karyotype analysis method. Further analysis revealed that when being transmitted to offspring, chromosome 5 of Q24 as disomy was with the highest frequency (&gt; 50%), while chromosome 12 was with the lowest frequency (≤ 30%). The frequency of Q24’s chromosomes being transmitted to offspring as disomy was influenced by the gene function on the chromosomes and the number of inter-chromosome collinear gene links. Whole genome resequencing showed that the Q24 alleles exhibited segregation distortions in the offspring aneuploid population. Transgenic experiments demonstrated that the EjRUN1 gene, which was on one segregation distortion region of Q24, promoted the seed viability of triploid Arabidopsis. Furthermore, chromosome number, dosage, and male parent genotype affected the aneuploid phenotype. These findings advance the understanding of genome genetic characteristics of triploid loquat, and provide a reference for germplasm innovation of loquat rapidly through triploid sexual reproduction.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The uterine endometrium consists of luminal epithelium, glandular epithelium, and stromal cells, with uterine glands playing a pivotal role in pregnancy success among mammals. Uterine glands secrete essential factors that regulate embryo development and implantation; however, their cellular biology remains poorly understood. This study presents a refined method for isolating three distinct endometrial cell types with high purity, with a specific emphasis on glandular epithelial cells. The method combines mechanical dissociation, enzymatic digestion, and immunomagnetic separation. The isolated glandular epithelial cells were maintained in culture and exhibited proliferation in response to steroid hormones. Furthermore, estrogen responsiveness was abrogated by Estrogen Receptor 1 (Esr1) knockdown mediated by siRNA. Here, we present an efficient and reproducible method for isolating uterine glandular epithelial cells with high purity, enabling their in vitro maintenance, hormone responsiveness assessment, and functional gene knockdown. These findings establish a robust platform for advancing our understanding of uterine gland biology, facilitating detailed investigations into molecular mechanisms underlying glandular function and their critical roles in establishing pregnancy success. Future research could explore the contribution of these isolated cells to endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation.
Portrayal of Deaf characters in Korean movies
Authors: Chang Andrew , Golos Debbie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Characters in movies have the potential to influence perceptions of how people see themselves. Deaf adolescents who have little opportunity to interact with Deaf peers or family members may be particularly drawn to Deaf people they see in the media. How the media portrays Deaf people may impact Deaf adolescents’ self-perceptions of and language preferences. Yet little is known about the ways Deaf people are portrayed in movies, particularly films developed outside of the United States and not in English. In this study, we utilized content analysis to explore the portrayal of Deaf characters in Korean movies and Deaf involvement in the production of films. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the extent to which characters were portrayed by medical or cultural perspectives of Deaf people. Findings indicate that 68.5% of scenes in the sampled Korean films include medical rather than cultural messages about Deaf people. Additionally, none of the movies had Deaf people directly involved in the production of the films. Implications for future directions regarding identity and portrayal of Deaf people in media are discussed.
Understanding the Psychology of Practical Wisdom
Authors: Nusbaum Howard 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The longstanding view of doctors as scientists has been an emphasis in the MCAT and medical school training. However, the AAMC recommended recognizing the importance of social and behavioral science for medicine. There is also a growing realization that being a smart problem solver and the physician as scientist model emphasizes a cold cognitive problem-solving paradigm that overlooks other human capacities that may be critical to medical reasoning and decision-making. Considering a smart physician versus a wise physician, intelligence and problem-solving are important, but a wise physician can use other important capacities beyond intelligence and rationality. This could benefit patients by introducing patient and family perspective taking, as well as compassion in doctor-patient interaction. By reconceptualizing professions from the perspective of practical wisdom, this may increase resilience to problems such as burnout. I outline some psychological capacities viewed as important in wise reasoning that are not about traditional views of intelligence. I argue that wise reasoning is not a native talent but a skill that can be developed. I argue that different kinds of experiences can increase aspects of empathy, epistemic humility, perspective taking, and wise reasoning and I examine evidence that wise reasoning may increase resilience.
Atypical femoral fracture in a patient with nutritional osteomalacia: a case report and literature review

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Atypical femoral fractures (AFF) are rare stress fractures with specific diagnostic criteria, as outlined in a report published by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. These criteria are categorized into major and minor features, and AFF can be classified as either complete or incomplete. Bisphosphonates have been shown to increase the risk of AFF, and most cases of AFF are associated with bisphosphonate use. We present a unique case of AFF in a young woman with no history of bisphosphonate use. She was taking oral contraceptive pills and inhaled corticosteroids for asthma. Later, she was diagnosed with nutritional osteomalacia. The patient was managed surgically with bilateral intramedullary nailing, resulting in a favorable outcome.
Laparoscopic and endoscopic co-operative surgery for a non-ampullary duodenal tumor after living-donor liver transplantation: a case report

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Superficial duodenal epithelial tumors were previously considered rare. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors (D-LECS) has been developed to achieve successful endoscopic treatment. Patients who have undergone living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may have severe abdominal adhesions, and immunosuppressive agents (IAs) may affect the degree of postoperative abdominal adhesions and wound healing, but their effects remain unclear. Herein, we present the first case of D-LECS for duodenal adenoma after LDLT. A 66-year-old man underwent D-LECS for a non-ampullary duodenal high-grade adenoma after LDLT with an IA. The patient’s condition was uneventful 36 months after the surgery. In gastrointestinal surgery, IAs may affect the resected duodenal repair process. For duodenal neoplasms in high-risk patients, D-LECS may be better than endoscopic submucosal dissection alone. D-LECS after LDLT is a feasible and less invasive procedure.
Appetite Self-Regulation in Childhood: A Narrative Review and Conceptual Model of Processes and Mechanisms With Implications for Research and Practice
Authors: Russell Catherine G , Russell Alan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The purpose of the present narrative review was to propose a unifying generalized conceptual model of mechanisms and processes in appetite self-regulation (ASR) in childhood. Appetite self-regulation, along with other domains of self-regulation, develops across childhood and contributes to energy intake and balance, diet quality, weight, and therefore long-term health outcomes. There have been efforts to conceptualize and measure components of ASR and associated processes/mechanisms, but, at present, there is no unifying conceptualization of ASR in childhood. A search of key databases supplemented by snowballing was undertaken for definitions/conceptions and theoretical models of ASR with a focus on children. An interpretive synthesis approach was used to identify themes from the definitions and models. The themes formed the basis of the proposed unifying generalized model of ASR in childhood, which is the main contribution of the article. At the center of the model is bottom-up reactivity to food, food cues and hunger, satiation and satiety signals, together with top-down regulatory control. An additional contribution is the proposed 5 interacting and overlapping domains (biological, hedonics, cognitive, behavioral, and traits) that function in and influence both bottom-up reactivity and top-down regulation. The domains also contribute to ASR outcomes of enactment and competence. External contextual and intrapersonal factors are conceived as impacting the domains and the bottom-up, top-down processes. The relevance of the model for explanations of ASR phenomena in childhood and children’s food choice and diet quality, as well as its implications for research directions and approaches to preventive intervention, including food parenting practices, are discussed. The model provides a framework for researchers and practitioners to support and interpret children’s problems and competence in self-directing food choices, energy intake, and nutrition.
