Identifying an Appropriate Picture Stimulus for a Bangla Picture Description Task
Authors: Mazumdar Barnali , Donovan Neila J. , Duncan E. Susan 
Published: March 2023

Purpose:The absence of culture- and language-specific aphasia assessment in Bangla underscores a critical problem in communication sciences and disorders. Aphasia occurs in ~41% of Bangla-speaking stroke survivors. In the past 40 years, stroke incidence has doubled in low- and middle-income countries, such as Bangladesh and India, where there are ~250 million native Bangla speakers. This study aims to initiate the first step toward identifying an appropriate picture stimulus for the Bangla picture description task (PDT) intended for inclusion in a Bangla aphasia assessment. Researchers have reported the importance of cultural relevance and three visuographic variables of a picture (high-context, color, and photograph vs. black-and-white line drawing) for faster comprehension and comprehensive language production in people with aphasia and neurologically healthy adults.Method:Ninety-six neurologically healthy native Bangla speakers of three age groups (young 19–30, middle age 40–55, and older 65–89 years) were recruited to compare spontaneous language production for four selected culturally related and nonrelated picture stimuli with and without the three visuographic variables. Five linguistic variables were used to analyze the language samples.Results:The results demonstrated a significant (a) picture type effect for moving-average type–token ratio, words per minute (WPM), and mean length of utterance in morphemes (MLU) and (b) age group effect for WPM, MLU, and complexity index.Conclusions:This study suggests that a culturally related high-context color photograph is the optimal choice for the Bangla PDT. This study also indicates reduced fluency, grammatical complexity, and syntactic complexity in healthy Bangla-speaking adults aged 65 years and above.Supplemental Material:https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.22233664

FallberichtEine 53-jährige Frau stellte sich 2,5 Wochen, nachdem sie sich auf Mauritius
eine Steinfischstichverletzung am rechten Kleinfinger zugezogen hatte, in unserer
Notfallambulanz vor. Sie hatte im Urlaub beim Schwimmen am Meeresufer versehentlich
auf einen im Sand vergrabenen Steinfisch gegriffen (Abb. 1). Sofort war es neben massiven
Schmerzen am gesamten Arm zu einer Rötung am Kleinfinger und einer
Schwellung der Hand gekommen. Nach notfallmäßigem Transport in das
nächste Krankenhaus wurde der Patientin dort aufgrund einer starken
systemischen Reaktion ein Antidot im Rahmen eines kurzzeitigen intensivmedizinischen
Aufenthaltes verabreicht. Bei Blasenbildung wurde eine oberflächliche
Wundrevision und eine Kompartmentspaltung palmar an der rechten Hand am Folgetag
durchgeführt. Die Narben ließen allerdings auf eine nur minimale
Eröffnung der Stichwunde und der Intermetakarpalräume
schließen. Eine Antibiotikatherapie erfolgte während des
4-tägigen Krankenhausaufenthaltes mittels Ampicillin/Sulbactam
intravenös, welche bei Entlassung oralisiert und bis zur Vorstellung in
unserer Klinik fortgesetzt wurde.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background We have developed a novel muscle reinnervation technique called “nerve–muscle–endplate grafting (NMEG) in the native motor zone (NMZ).” This study aimed to augment the outcomes of the NMEG-NMZ (NN) by focal application of exogenous neurotrophic factors (ENFs) for limb reinnervation.
Methods Adult rats were used to conduct NN plus ENF (NN/ENF) and autologous nerve grafting (ANG, technique control). The nerve innervating the left tibialis anterior (TA) muscle was resected and the denervated TA was immediately treated with NN/ENF or ANG. For NN procedure, an NMEG pedicle was taken from the lateral gastrocnemius muscle and transferred to the NMZ of the denervated TA. For ANG, the nerve gap was bridged with sural nerve. Three months after treatment, the extent of functional and neuromuscular recovery was assessed by measuring static toe spread, maximal muscle force, wet muscle weight, regenerated axons, and innervated motor endplates (MEPs).
Results NN/ENF resulted in 90% muscle force recovery of the treated TA, which is far superior to ANG (46%) and NN alone (79%) as reported elsewhere. Toe spread recovered up to 89 and 49% of the control for the NN/ENF and ANG groups, respectively. The average wet muscle weight was 87 and 52% of the control for muscles treated with NN/ENF and ANG, respectively. The mean number of the regenerated axons was 88% of the control for the muscles treated with NN/ENF, which was significantly larger than that for the ANG-repaired muscles (39%). The average percentage of the innervated MEPs in the NN/ENF-treated TA (89%) was higher compared with that in the ANG-repaired TA (48%).
Conclusion ENF enhances nerve regeneration and MEP reinnervation that further augment outcomes of NN. The NN technique could be an alternative option to treat denervated or paralyzed limb muscles caused by traumatic nerve injuries or lesions.

A working-condition-robust method for two-stage health measurement of rolling bearings based on energy entropy distribution and dynamic adversarial transfer network
Authors: Jiang Wei , Xue Xiaoming , Zhang Nan , Xu Yanhe , Liu Jie , Shan Yahui 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Accurate and robust health measurement for rolling bearings under variable working conditions has great significance in guaranteeing the safe and stable operation of rotating machinery. In this paper, a two-stage and working-condition-robust health measurement method is proposed, systematically blending energy entropy theory, a deep-learning approach and transfer-learning technology. In the first stage, a state boundary of energy entropy is systematically deduced based on an adaptive variational mode decomposition (VMD) improved fruit fly optimization algorithm (IFOA) and the principle of statistical analysis to detect abnormal states in bearings, where the IFOA is developed to search for the optimal parameters of the VMD with high efficiency. In the second stage, if a fault exists, a hybrid robust auto-encoder adopting a multi-layer and deep structure is constructed to strengthen the feature extraction capacity and automatically capture valuable and robust fault features from original samples. Considering the insufficiently labeled samples and significant data distribution discrepancy, a novel dynamic adversarial transfer network (DATN) is designed to extract the transferable and domain-invariant features between source and target datasets and achieve accurate fault identification. Specifically, a dynamic adversarial coefficient based on Wasserstein distance is provided in the DATN to quantitatively evaluate the relative importance of marginal and conditional distributions. Extensive experiments on two rolling bearing datasets validate the superior performance of the proposed method compared with other state-of-the-art identification models and transfer-learning approaches.
Nanopatterned rGO/ZnO:Al seed layer for vertical growth of single ZnO nanorods

Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate a novel low-cost template-assisted route to synthesize vertical ZnO nanorod arrays on Si (100). The nanorods were grown on a patterned double seed layer comprised of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The seed layer was fabricated by spray-coating the substrate with graphene and then dip-coating it into a Al-doped ZnO sol–gel solution. The growth template was fabricated from a double-layer resist, spin-coated on top of the rGO/ZnO:Al seed layer, and patterned by colloidal lithography. The results show a successful chemical bath deposition of vertically aligned ZnO nanorods with controllable diameter and density in the nanoholes in the patterned resist mask. Our novel method can presumably be used to fabricate electronic devices on virtually any smooth substrate with a thermal budget of 1 min at 300 °C with the seed layer acting as a conductive strain-relieving back contact. The top contact can simply be made by depositing a suitable transparent conductive oxide or metal, depending on the specific application.
Low temperature nucleation of thermochromic VO2 crystal domains in nanocolumnar porous thin films

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The low temperature formation of monoclinic VO2 crystal domains in nanocolumnar vanadium/oxygen thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering at oblique angles is analyzed. The synthesis procedure involved the deposition of amorphous nanocolumnar VO1.9 thin films at room temperature and its subsequent annealing at temperatures between 250 °C and 330 °C in an oxygen atmosphere. The thermochromic transition of these films was found at a temperature of 47 °C when the annealing temperature was 270 °C and 58 °C when the annealing temperature was 280 °C and 290 °C, presenting a clear drop of the optical transmittance in the infrared region of the spectrum. The significant downshift in the temperature window to obtain VO2 in comparison with compact films and other strategies in literature is explained by the particular morphology of the nanocolumnar structures, which contains numerous defects along with open and embedded porosity.

term. The parameter m is the inflaton mass, which is determined in the same way as in the Starobinsky model, and β is a dimensionless constant. Using the Einstein frame and the scalar field potential, we get the inflationary parameters of the model proposed. The value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio r can be significantly larger than in the Starobinsky model. The considered inflationary model is in a good agreement with the current observational data. The corresponding scalar field potential is a polynomial of the exponential function.
Non-unitary three-neutrino mixing in the early Universe
Authors: Gariazzo Stefano , Martínez-Miravé Pablo , Mena Olga , Pastor Sergio , Tórtola Mariam 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Deviations from unitarity in the three-neutrino mixing canonical picture are expected in
many physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model. The mixing of new heavy neutral leptons with the
three light neutrinos would in principle modify the strength and flavour structure of
charged-current and neutral-current interactions with matter. Non-unitarity effects would
therefore have an impact on the neutrino decoupling processes in the early Universe and on the
value of the effective number of neutrinos, N
eff. We calculate the cosmological energy
density in the form of radiation with a non-unitary neutrino mixing matrix, addressing the
possible interplay between parameters. Highly accurate measurements of N
eff from
forthcoming cosmological observations can provide independent and complementary limits on the
departures from unitarity. For completeness, we relate the scenario of small deviations from
unitarity to non-standard neutrino interactions and compare the forecasted constraints to other
existing limits in the literature.
Primordial black holes and third order scalar induced gravitational waves*

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The process of primordial black hole (PBH) formation is inevitably accompanied by scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs). The strong correlation between PBH and SIGW signals may offer a promising approach to detecting PBHs in upcoming gravitational wave experiments, such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We investigate third order SIGWs during a radiation-dominated era in the case of the monochromatic primordial power spectrum

. For LISA observations, the relationships between the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and monochromatic primordial power spectrum are studied systematically, revealing that the effects of third order SIGWs extend the cutoff frequency from

Hz to

Hz, corresponding to PBHs with masses in the range

Development of novel hierarchical designs for skin graft simulants with high expansion potential
Authors: Gupta Vivek , Singh Gurpreet , Chanda Arnab 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Skin graft designs play an essential role in healing severe burn injuries. Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is one of the commonly used techniques for treating large burn injuries. In STSG, parallel cuts are projected onto a small portion of excised healthy skin for expansion and covering a larger burn area. To date, expansions reported for STSG are very low and insufficient to cover large burn areas. In this work, novel traditional and auxetic hierarchical cuts were designed on skin graft simulants, which were mechanically tested to study their expansion potential. Additive manufacturing and a two-part polymeric material were employed to fabricate the skin graft simulants. The nonlinear mechanical behavior of the hierarchical skin graft simulants was characterized using hyperelastic models. The effective Poisson’s ratio, meshing ratios, and induced stresses in first and second-order hierarchical cut patterns were estimated across all skin graft simulants for up to 300% strain. Also, Statistical analysis was performed to calculate the significance among the groups. From the analysis, the skin graft simulants with second-order auxetic incision patterns were found to exhibit the lowest induced stresses and maximum expansion of approximately four times, at 300% strain. To date, traditional skin grafts have only been able to achieve up to three times expansion. Therefore, the expansions realized with the novel hierarchical skin graft simulants is unprecedented, with the potential to generate ground-breaking advances in burn injury treatment.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Recently, there has been growing demand for wearable electronic devices/strain sensors in soft robotics, body-health monitoring, human–machine interfaces, and human motion detection. Wearable strain sensors feature fast and multistimuli sensitivity, high flexibility, ultrastretchability, and biocompatibility. Although progress in flexible strain sensors is exponential, the production of wearable sensors faces several challenges, such as reliability and reproducibility. An in-depth understanding of the sensing mechanisms of flexible strain sensors based on’ polymeric nanocomposites is needed to fabricate reliable and reproducible sensors and move from the prototype phase into the industry phase. In this review, types of strain sensors and key parameters such as linearity, gauge factor (sensitivity), hysteresis, and durability are explained in the context of recently published work. In addition, current challenges and perspectives in relation to wearable strain sensors are delineated.
Principal strategies for designing graphdiyne-based catalyst toward green hydrogen production from water electrolysis
Authors: Yu Huidi , Jin Xu , Li Yiheng , Zhang Lin , Yang Meng , Li Jianming 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Water electrolysis has attracted significant attention for large-scale production of green hydrogen as next-generation clean fuels. Recently, the development of graphdiyne (GDY), a new member of carbon allotropes, has been promisingly offering novel alternatives for acquisition of inexpensive and efficient catalysts in the water electrolyzer. The unique atomic arrangement in GDY architecture leads to coexistence of sp– and sp2–C, correspondingly brings numerous intriguing features such as heterogeneous electron distribution, wide tailorable natural bandgap, rapid electron/mass transport and rich chemical bonds. These unique intrinsic natures of GDY provide brilliant inspirations for scientists to design new-concept electrocatalyst toward cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction, anodic oxygen evolution reaction and the overall water-splitting. Based on the immense progress, in this short perspective, current principal design strategies of GDY-based catalysts are systematically summarized, including interface engineering, individual atom fixation, induced constrained growth and bottom-up fabrication. With abundant implementation examples for achieving highly efficient water electrolysis, in particular we focus on clarifying the decisive role of GDY on these design strategies with comprehensive theoretical and experimental evidences. The future direction in developing GDY-based electrocatalysts in hydrogen energy field is also depicted with the urgent anticipation of deeper understanding of structure-performance relationship and catalytic mechanism, especially those in real industry water electrolyzers.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The traditional von Neumann structure computers cannot meet the demands of high-speed big data processing; therefore, neuromorphic computing has received a lot of interest in recent years. Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing has the advantages of low power consumption, high speed and high accuracy. In human brains, the data transmission and processing are realized through synapses. Artificial synaptic devices can be adopted to mimic the biological synaptic functionalities. Nanowire (NW) is an important building block for nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, and many efforts have been made to promote the application of NW-based synaptic devices for neuromorphic computing. Here, we will introduce the current progress of NW-based synaptic memristors and synaptic transistors. The applications of NW-based synaptic devices for neuromorphic computing will be discussed. The challenges faced by NW-based synaptic devices will be proposed. We hope this perspective will be beneficial for the application of NW-based synaptic devices in neuromorphic systems.

Higher-Order Evidence in Aesthetics
Authors: Whiting Daniel 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this introduction, I explain the notion of higher-order evidence and explore its bearing on aesthetic judgement. I start by illustrating how reflection on cases involving higher-order evidence engages with well-established concerns in aesthetics—specifically, how it might reveal tensions within and between widely recognized aesthetic ideals governing aesthetic judgement. Next, I show how attention to higher-order evidence in relation to aesthetic judgement might expose limitations or assumptions of theories in epistemology, where the nature and significance of higher-order evidence with respect to belief is the focus of much recent attention. The aim is not to resolve the issues but to demonstrate the significance of higher-order evidence in aesthetics and, in doing so, encourage work on the topic in and across aesthetics and epistemology.
Correcting Coal Miner Respirator Total Inward Leakage Values for Respiratory Tract Deposition
Authors: Nicas Mark 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The great majority of workplace respirator efficacy studies have measured total inward leakage (TIL) for particulate contaminants. One of the first such studies, designated the Harris study, was conducted in the early 1970s in US underground coal mines. As in other particle-based studies, inside-the-facepiece dust sampling was continuously conducted across the inhalation and exhalation phases of the breathing cycle, although unlike in other studies, respirable dust cyclones were used in air sampling. Because exhaled air was partially depleted of dust particles due to deposition in the respiratory tract, the measured time-averaged dust concentration inside the facepiece underestimated the time-averaged dust concentration inspired into the facepiece. In turn, the reported TIL values underestimated the true TIL values experienced, which is to say, overestimated respirator efficacy. This paper describes a method to correct the Harris study’s reported TIL values for respiratory tract deposition while accounting for particle size-selective sampling by the cyclone devices. Given the estimated coal mine particle size distribution outside the respirator, it is shown that the reported TIL values should be increased by the multiplicative factor 1.69. This paper also discusses the assigned protection factor (APF) of five for the quartermask respirator class and shows that 4/5 quartermasks in the Harris study did not meet the criterion for complying with this APF value when using the corrected TIL values.
