Efficacy and Safety of Valproic Acid in Myelodysplastic Syndrome and
Acute Myeloid Leukemia; a Narrative Review
Authors: Omidkhoda Navid , Mahdiani Sina , Samadi Sara , Rahimi Hossein , Mohammadpour Amir Hooshang 
Published: May 2023

AbstractLoads of new therapeutic regimes have been turned up to manage Myelodysplastic
syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), particularly in elderly
patients who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy. Despite accumulating
research, the best MDS and AML management approach is indeterminate.
Myelodysplastic syndrome implies a group of various hematopoietic stem cell
disorders that may progress to acute myeloid leukemia. These disorders are more
frequent in older adults. To the high rate of morbidity and abundant toxicities
related to the therapeutic approaches, also, the treatment would be challenging.
The clinical effectiveness of valproic acid, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in
MDS and AML patients is unknown, even though it has demonstrated positive
activities to promote differentiation and apoptosis in cancer cells. We
investigated the clinical research on the effects of valproic acid in
conjunction with various drugs, including low-dose cytarabine, all-trans
retinoic acid, DNA-hypomethylating agents, hydrazine, and theophylline. We
conclude that VPA is a safe and effective treatment option for MDS and AML
patients, particularly when used in conjunction with all-trans retinoic acid,
DNA-hypomethylating drugs, and hydralazine. However, more randomized clinical
studies are required to identify an ideal regimen.

Authors: Sharma Saryu , Wright Heather Harris 
Published: May 2023

AbstractCognitive changes following adjuvant treatment for breast cancer (BC) are well documented following chemotherapy. However, limited studies have examined cognitive and/or language functions in chemotherapy-naive women with BC taking tamoxifen (TAM). Using ambulatory cognitive assessment, we investigated the trajectory of cognitive and language changes during early period of adjuvant endocrine treatment (TAM) in women with BC at two time periods (pretreatment and 2 months after treatment began). Four women with BC and 18 cognitively healthy age-matched controls completed three cognitive tasks using smartphones, during a short time period (5 days) and repeated them at two time periods. To determine language ability, language samples were collected at two time periods, where the participants described two stories from two wordless picture books and samples were assessed using core lexicon analyses. Wilcoxon-signed rank tests were computed to identify differences in linguistic and cognitive performances of both the groups at two time periods. No significant within-group or between-group differences were seen on the cognitive and language tasks at the two time periods; however, women with BC performed more poorly compared to the control group. We did see decline in some women with BC and not in others, in cognition and language during initial course of TAM treatment. However, the approach we used to assess these changes is valuable and innovative. This approach will help refine current research paradigms for determining cognitive and linguistic changes and will help determine if women with BC might require language intervention in the future.

Resonance absorption (RA) occurs when a p-polarized electromagnetic wave, obliquely incident on an inhomogeneous plasma, tunnels past its turning point and resonantly excites an electron plasma wave (EPW) at the critical density. This phenomenon is important, for instance, in the direct drive approach to inertial fusion energy and is a particular example of a wider phenomenon in plasma physics known as mode conversion, which is crucial for heating magnetic fusion devices, such as tokamaks, via RF heating. Direct measurement of these RA-generated EPW accelerated hot electrons, with energy in the range of a few tens to a few hundreds of keV, is a challenging task due to the relatively low deflecting magnetic fields needed. The solution described here is a magnetic electron spectrometer (MES) with a continually changing magnetic field, lower at the entrance of the MES and gradually increasing toward the end, that enables the measurement of a wide spectral range of electrons with energies between 50 and 460 keV. Electron spectra taken in a LaserNetUS RA experiment were acquired from plasmas generated by irradiating polymer targets with the combination of an ∼300 ps pulse followed by a series of ten high intensity 50–200 fs duration laser pulses from the ALEPH laser at Colorado State University. The high intensity beam is designed as spike trains of uneven duration and delay pulses in order to modify the RA phenomenon.
The role of spoken vocabulary knowledge in language minority students’ incidental vocabulary learning from captioned television
Authors: Teng Mark Feng , Mizumoto Atsushi 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This study was to assess the spoken vocabulary knowledge and its role in incidental vocabulary learning from captioned television. The participants were a total of 87 minority students learning English as a foreign language in Australia. The breadth of their vocabulary knowledge was measured with a vocabulary size test, while the depth of their vocabulary knowledge was through an assessment of collocational and semantic relationships. The results indicated that (1) captioned videos are helpful for incidental vocabulary learning; (2) scores on the breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge and incidental vocabulary learning from viewing captioned television are highly and positively correlated; and (3) scores on the depth of vocabulary knowledge can make a unique contribution to the prediction of incidental vocabulary learning at the form and meaning recognition level, in addition to the prediction afforded by scores on the breadth of vocabulary knowledge. The findings highlight a need to improve the depth of vocabulary knowledge for incidental vocabulary learning from captioned viewing.
Translation policies in times of a pandemic

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn 2020–22, multilingual vaccination communication became an urgent priority around the world, requiring trusted communication in non-official languages. In Brussels, Melbourne and Shanghai, quite different legal frameworks and language policies were challenged by the need for behavior-change communication in a wide range of culturally and linguistically diverse communities. In all three cases, practices were developed that showed the limitations of existing translation policies. Here we use policy analysis to explore the nature of those challenges, to compare the different solutions found in the three cities, and to propose how policies might be developed and adjusted to enhance time-pressured trust-building communication.
A case for metonymic synesthesia
Authors: Tóth Máté 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Verbal synesthesia is generally considered to be a special type of metaphor involving concepts stemming from distinct sensory domains. However, with the upsurge of metonymy research some authors have proposed a metonymic motivation for synesthetic expressions. In line with these proposals, I argue in my paper that (i) a considerable portion of synesthetic expressions are in fact metonymic and (ii) they are based either on co-occurrence or on an intra-modal resemblance of sensory stimuli. Since olfaction offers itself as an ideal terrain to study synaesthetic expressions due to its relatively poor lexicalization in most languages, in order to test my hypotheses, I present the results of a corpus study on German synesthetic attribute-noun constructions combining gustatory adjectives with olfactory nouns. My results suggest that the heterogeneity of verbal synesthesia regarding its conceptual background cannot be grasped simply by proposing that it is a metaphorical phenomenon.

ABSTRACTThis study aims to explore the variation of lower extremity kinematic characteristics when elite taekwondo athletes perform the side‐kick on protective gear placed at various heights. Twenty distinguished male national athletes were recruited and were asked to kick targets at three different heights adjusted according to their body height. A three‐dimensional (3D) motion capture system was used to collect kinematic data. Kinematic parameters differences in the side‐kick at three different heights were analyzed by using a one‐way ANOVA (p < .05). The results revealed significant differences in the peak linear velocities of the pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, and centre of gravity of the foot during the leg‐lifting phase (p < .05). Significant differences between heights were noted in the maximum angle of pelvis left tilting and hip abduction in both phases. In addition, the maximum angular velocities of pelvis left tilting and hip internal rotation were only different in the leg‐lifting phase. This study found that, to kick at a higher target, athletes increase the linear velocities of their pelvis and all lower extremity joints of attacking leg in the leg‐lifting phase; however, they only increase rotational variables on the proximal segment at the peak angle of the pelvis (left tilting) and hip (abduction and internal rotation) in the same phase. As an application in actual competitions, according to the opponent's body height, athletes can adjust both linear and rotational velocities of their proximal segements (pelvis and hip) and deliver into distal segements (knee, ankle, foot) linear velocity to perform accurate and rapid kicks.
How bending deformation affects the performance of polarization converters based on slot waveguides
Authors: Wang Y , Wang K F , Wang B L 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Polarization is an important characteristic of light and plays a critical role in many natural and industrial processes. In this paper, we present an optical gradient force actuated polarization converter based on a slot waveguide, which can convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light. The working principle of the presented polarization converter is that optical gradient forces deform the slot waveguide to adjust its birefringence, thus yielding a desired phase shift between two orthogonal components of light. An optomechanical model with all possible mechanical boundaries is developed to solve the bending deformation of polarization converters. The effective index method and dispersion relation method are used for the calculation of birefringence and optical gradient forces, respectively. The influences of the width of waveguides and the initial width of the slot on the working performance of polarization converters are discussed. It is found that these influences are independent of the mechanical boundaries. An empirical formula for describing the relation between the working power and length of polarization converters is given. This empirical formula may be helpful when designing such polarization converters.
Scenarios for the creation of hyperchaotic attractors in 3D maps

Published: May 2023

Abstract
We study bifurcation mechanisms for the appearance of hyperchaotic attractors in three-dimensional diffeomorphisms, i.e. such attractors whose orbits have two positive Lyapunov exponents in numerical experiments. In particular, periodic orbits belonging to the attractor should have two-dimensional unstable invariant manifolds. We discuss several bifurcation scenarios which create such periodic orbits inside the attractor. This includes cascades of supercritical period-doubling bifurcations of saddle periodic orbits and supercritical Neimark–Sacker bifurcations of stable periodic orbits, as well as various combinations of these cascades. These scenarios are illustrated by an example of the three-dimensional Mirá map.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this paper we report a novel method for determining the Planck’s constant experimentally. We have determined the Planck’s constant using light emitting diodes (LEDs) of four different colours (Red, Green, Yellow and Blue) with the aid of a python programming. The LEDs were not provided with a specific wavelength value, and they could have any arbitrary wavelength in their respective colour bands. We determined the wavelengths of the LED lights using a Python program and calculated the value of the Planck’s constant using them. The value obtained was compared with the Planck’s constant value determined using a traditional method being followed in undergraduate labs and its actual value. The relative error while reporting the value of Planck’s constant using traditional method was around 18% which was reduced to 6% by using the method reported in the present study.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this study, the sloshing behaviors and dynamic characteristics of liquid sloshing in a horizontal Cassini tank were studied. The forces and torques generated by the liquid sloshing in non-equilibrium states were experimentally measured with force transducers which have been mounted on the experiment platform. The experiments mainly focus on the sloshing forces and torques generated by liquid sloshing in the tank. And the effects of the magnitude and frequency of the external excitations and the liquid-filling ratios on the sloshing characteristics were also studied. The experiments results show that the liquid sloshing in the Cassini tank is highly correlated with the excitation frequency where small variation in the frequency leads to complex changes in the liquid sloshing characteristics. In the cases with low liquid-filling ratio, in resonance state, the rotational sloshing is easier to be excited, however, in the stable-state the amplitudes of longitudinal sloshing force and torque are more significant than those of other sloshing conditions. The transversal sloshing force and torque are very small in both, rotational and translational nonlinear sloshing of small amplitude. In small-amplitude rotational and translational nonlinear sloshing cases, the CFD simulations were in good agreement with the experimental data. However, as the transitional compound state between different modes of vibration at various orders, the dynamic ratio of longitudinal and transversal sloshing force became large and errors occurred and became obvious in CFD simulations.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Superconducting charge qubits represent a cutting-edge technology in the field of quantum computing, offering a promising platform for quantum processing. This study delves into the behaviors of thermal coherence and quantum correlations within a two-superconducting charge qubit system coupled by a fixed capacitance. Specifically, we investigate the effects of thermal noise on entanglement (measured by concurrence), nonclassical correlations (quantified by local quantum uncertainty), and quantum coherence (measured by correlated coherence) within the two-superconducting charge qubit capacitively coupled. Our analysis takes into account the interplay between the equilibrium temperature of the reservoir and various system parameters. Our findings demonstrate that an increase in temperature leads to a decrease in coherence and quantum correlations within the considered system. However, the behavior of these quantum resources is heavily dependent on the system parameters, and a careful selection of these parameters can help mitigate the negative effects of absolute temperature. Additionally, we observe that local quantum uncertainty and correlated coherence are more resilient than thermal entanglement to rising temperatures. These results provide insight into how a two-superconducting charge qubit system can be optimized for achieving quantum advantages.

Authors: Feng Yunwen , Tang Jiaqiang , He Zhiyu , Xue Xiaofeng , Dong Meng 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
With the gradual development of the lift device to a simple and efficient direction, the drooped spoiler has become an emerging lift device. The drooped spoiler can improve the aerodynamic performance of the wing by reducing the air flow separation and increase the lift coefficient, which requires the spoiler to deflect a certain angle following the downward deflection of the flap. Aiming at this requirement, this paper proposes a design method of spoiler follower mechanism based on the relative pole method. The applicability and correctness of the method are verified by kinematics simulation. Moreover, the kinematic characteristics of the simple four-bar linkage and the complex four-bar linkage are compared, and the results show that the complex four-bar linkage is more stable in the motion process.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The triaxial attitude control of the tailless aircraft depends heavily on the effectiveness of the actuators. Still, the actuators have redundancy characteristics, cross-coupling of rudder effect, and so on. Therefore, the reconfigurable control allocation of the tailless aircraft under typical actuator faults is deeply studied in this paper. The effectiveness and rationality of the incremental control allocation method based on quadratic programming are thoroughly verified for application to maximize the residual control ability of the aircraft, ensure that the aircraft can still complete the flight mission typically, and guarantee flight safety. According to the research principle of surface failures from slight to severe, three typical rudder surface faults are designed successively: Efficiency loss of single actuator, single actuator stuckness, and double actuators combined stuckness. On this basis, the mechanism of reconfiguration allocation after actuator failures is studied, and the residual control ability of the actuator after loss is fully explored. What’s more, the range of allowable reduction of efficiency of each actuator and the acceptable stuck angle range of each actuator are explored, and the most severe failure in the combination of double actuators stuck is obtained. The attitude controller is designed with incremental backstepping (IBKS). The reconstruction allocation adopts a quadratic programming allocation method based on an effective set solver, which can be seamlessly connected with the IBKS method to improve the control accuracy and disturbance immunity effectively.
