Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background The distal radius fracture is the most common fracture in the United States. Achieving stable reduction and fixation of complex fracture patterns can be challenging. In order to help maintain reduction of comminuted fracture to simplify plating, the calcium phosphate-based bone putty Montage has been developed.
Questions/Purposes Does Montage assist in achieving stable reduction and fixation of complex distal radius fractures with an acceptable complication profile?
Patient and Methods We retrospectively analyzed all patients who were treated intraoperatively with Montage bone putty along with volar plate fixation at a large-volume urban county hospital. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative measurements of radiographic features were recorded at 2 and 6 months, as were any complications. Statistical analysis was then performed on these values.
Results Preoperative and postoperative radiographs demonstrated significant improvement in standard distal radius fracture measurements, reflecting adequate reduction with the use of Montage intraoperatively. Critically, radiographs demonstrated maintenance of reduction compared to intraoperative fluoroscopy images at 2 months, showing short-term stability of the use of Montage in these fracture patterns as well as long-term stability at 6 months in a subset of patients. There were no major complications in this study.
Conclusion In this study, we demonstrate the utility of Montage bone putty for complex distal radius fractures with short-term follow-up and limited long-term follow-up. This initial study underlines its efficacy in maintaining reduction without major complications.

Chemiluminescence (CL) with the elimination of excitation light and minimal autofluorescence interference has been wieldy applied in biosensing and bioimaging. However, the traditional emission of CL probes was mainly in the range of 400 to 650 nm, leading to undesired resolution and penetration in a biological object. Therefore, it was urgent to develop CL molecules in the near-infrared window [NIR, including NIR-I (650 to 900 nm) and near-infrared-II (900 to 1,700 nm)], coupled with unique advantages of long-time imaging, sensitive response, and high resolution at depths of millimeters. However, no NIR-II CL unimolecular probe has been reported until now. Herein, we developed an H

S-activated NIR-II CL probe [chemiluminiscence donor 950, (CD-950)] by covalently connecting two Schaap’s dioxetane donors with high chemical energy to a NIR-II fluorophore acceptor candidate via intramolecular CL resonance energy transfer strategy, thereby achieving high efficiency of 95%. CD-950 exhibited superior capacity including long-duration imaging (~60 min), deeper tissue penetration (~10 mm), and specific H

S response under physiological conditions. More importantly, CD-950 showed detection capability for metformin-induced hepatotoxicity with 2.5-fold higher signal-to-background ratios than that of NIR-II fluorescence mode. The unimolecular NIR-II CL probe holds great potential for the evaluation of drug-induced side effects by tracking its metabolites in vivo, further facilitating the rational design of novel NIR-II CL-based detection platforms.

Traditional substance use (SU) surveillance methods, such as surveys, incur substantial lags. Due to the continuously evolving trends in SU, insights obtained via such methods are often outdated. Social media-based sources have been proposed for obtaining timely insights, but methods leveraging such data cannot typically provide fine-grained statistics about subpopulations, unlike traditional approaches. We address this gap by developing methods for automatically characterizing a large Twitter nonmedical prescription medication use (NPMU) cohort (n = 288,562) in terms of age-group, race, and gender. Our natural language processing and machine learning methods for automated cohort characterization achieved 0.88 precision (95% CI:0.84 to 0.92) for age-group, 0.90 (95% CI: 0.85 to 0.95) for race, and 94% accuracy (95% CI: 92 to 97) for gender, when evaluated against manually annotated gold-standard data. We compared automatically derived statistics for NPMU of tranquilizers, stimulants, and opioids from Twitter with statistics reported in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) and the National Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). Distributions automatically estimated from Twitter were mostly consistent with the NSDUH [Spearmanr: race: 0.98 (P < 0.005); age-group: 0.67 (P < 0.005); gender: 0.66 (P = 0.27)] and NEDS, with 34/65 (52.3%) of the Twitter-based estimates lying within 95% CIs of estimates from the traditional sources. Explainable differences (e.g., overrepresentation of younger people) were found for age-group-related statistics. Our study demonstrates that accurate subpopulation-specific estimates about SU, particularly NPMU, may be automatically derived from Twitter to obtain earlier insights about targeted subpopulations compared to traditional surveillance approaches.

Authors: Rajeg Gede Primahadi Wijaya , Rajeg I Made 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper analyzes metaphorical conceptualizations ofhappinessin the historical corpus of Classical Malay and in the corpus of present-day Indonesian, the national variety of Malay used in Indonesia. The aim is to explore the idea of diachronic salience and universal/variation in metaphorical conceptualizations between diachronic varieties of the same language. Token and type frequencies are used as measures of salience of the metaphors. Seven of the top-10 metaphors in Classical Malay with high token and type frequencies also make into the top-10 metaphors ranked by these measures in Indonesian, suggesting a relatively stable diachronic salience of the metaphoric cognitive models ofhappinessin these two Malay varieties. The shared metaphors are parts of larger networks of semantic domains, namelypossession,location,motion,containment, andquantity. The metaphors are discussed in relation to themes reported in earlier cross-cultural psychological studies of the cultural folk models ofhappiness.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Single crystalline AlN material is very attractive for the development of high temperature electronic devices owing to its high temperature resistance. However, at ultrahigh temperatures, AlN film still will be oxidized and metal electrodes used for the devices will aggregate and vaporize. The deterioration of the material and metal electrodes eventually fails the AlN-based devices. Here, we report a single crystalline AlN film-based ultrahigh temperature surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. By using a thin alumina (Al2O3) protection layer on surface, oxidation of the AlN piezoelectric film was effectively inhibited at high temperatures. A composite electrode based on multilayer structure of Pt-Rh and Al2O3 was designed and fabricated, with the Al2O3 layer as the diffusion barrier layers to suppressed inter-diffusion, agglomeration and vaporization of the metals. The results showed that the developed AlN SAW devices can withstand high temperatures, and work well at temperatures up to 1400 °C.

Abstract

Objective. The objective of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of using heart rate characteristics to estimate atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) in a cohort of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients continuously monitored with an implantable cardiac monitor. We will use a mixed model approach to investigate population effect and patient specific effects of heart rate characteristics on AFR, and will correct for the effect of previous ablations, episode duration, and onset date and time. Approach. The f-wave signals, from which AFR is estimated, were extracted using a QRST cancellation process of the AF episodes in a cohort of 99 patients (67% male; 57 ± 12 years) monitored for 9.2(0.2–24.3) months as median(min-max). The AFR from 2453 f-wave signals included in the analysis was estimated using a model-based approach. The association between AFR and heart rate characteristics, prior ablations, and episode-related features were modelled using fixed-effect and mixed-effect modelling approaches. Main results. The mixed-effect models had a better fit to the data than fixed-effect models showing h.c. of determination (R2 = 0.49 versus R2 = 0.04) when relating the variations of AFR to the heart rate features. However, when correcting for the other factors, the mixed-effect model showed the best fit (R2 = 0.04). AFR was found to be significantly affected by previous catheter ablations (p < 0.05), episode duration (p < 0.05), and irregularity of the RR interval series (p < 0.05). Significance. Mixed-effect models are more suitable for AFR modelling. AFR was shown to be faster in episodes with longer duration, less organized RR intervals and after several ablation procedures.

Abstract
The development of a cost-efficient, highly effective, and granular shape adsorbent is highly desired for nitrate removal. In this study, two different Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles with amorphous and crystalline structures, and nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using the ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation. Both nanoparticles were scrutinized using FTIR, SEM, and XRD. Crystallized Fe(OH)3/zeolite nanocomposites were not efficient for nitrate removal;hence, the rest of the study was carried out with amorphous Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles (Am-Fe(OH)3). Clinoptilolite and analcime were acid-washed and used as a support for synthesized Am-Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles. Nanocomposites of clinoptilolite and analcime were abbreviated as Fe(OH)3/Clin and Fe(OH)3/Anc, respectively. The nanocomposites were characterized by BET, FTIR, SEM, EDS, and XRD techniques. Subsequently, granules of the above-mentioned nanocomposites were prepared using the wet gelation method and alginate. Two crucial features of pH and adsorbent:alginate ratio, were assessed and optimized as 11–12 and 1:3, respectively. The performance of granules were investigated regarding pH, time, and adsorbent dosage. Fe(OH)3/Clin and Fe(OH)3/Anc granules removed 96.82% and 34.02% of nitrate from a contaminated solution with initial concertation of 50 mg l−1. Overall, Fe(OH)3/Clin granule was an effective adsorbent for nitrate removal. The maximum adsorption capacity of Fe(OH)3/Anc and Fe(OH)3/Clin were 0.4443 mg g−1 and 5.6211 mg g−1 for 0.2 g of each adsorbent, respectively. Both adsorbents displayed good compatibility with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
Effect of acetic acid on NMC811 electrode made by freeze casting
Authors: Wang Yan , Jiang Yilan , Huang Chun 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
To obtain higher capacity and meet the requirements of rapid charging and discharging, reasonable design of electrode structure is required. At the same time, although water-based binders are attempted to use in anode preparation, the pH rise and aluminium foil corrosion caused by the reaction of high nickel cathode materials and water cannot be avoided. In this paper, we used directional freeze casting technology to make porous electrodes, and we added acetic acid and used carbon-coated aluminium foil to try to improve it. After the performance of the electrode decreased in the first few cycles, the electrode obtained long-term excellent performance. The addition of acetic acid significantly improved the performance of NMC811 electrode, and the electrode capacity was further improved after adjusting the positive electrode structure in the freezing casting process. The discharge specific capacitance of the electrode is 189 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C and 94 mAh g−1 at 10 C. It is superior to the electrode manufactured by traditional PVDF-based binder.
Higher multipoles of highly symmetric charge distributions over Platonic solids
Authors: Hryhorchak Orest , Rovenchak Andrij 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
We analyze higher multipole moments (beyond dipole and quadrupole) in the expansion of the electrostatic potential produced by discrete as well as volume, surface, and linear continuous distributions of charges over five Platonic solids. In the case of tetrahedron, the lowest non-zero multipole moment is octupole. As the number of polyhedron vertices grows, the first non-zero elements arise at higher multipoles. Namely, for octahedron and cube, the lowest non-zero multipole moment is hexadecapole (24-pole). For icosahedron and dodecahedron, non-zero elements appear first in the 26-pole moment tensors.

. In the first part of the work, we concentrate our attention on the similarities between dynamic critical behavior and thermodynamic phase transition properties of the model. Finite-size scaling analyses suggest that the proposed binary alloy model exhibits 2D Ising universality class. In the second part, we examine the dynamic critical behavior in the presence of a magnetic bias field for which a metamagnetic sideband behavior originates in dynamic susceptibility curves. Our results yield that these metamagnetic anomalies survive for a wide range of magnetic atom concentration p

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Ruby grains are synthesized by laser heating of the dry mixture of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 in air. Quasi-continuous radiation of a Nd:YAG laser was used for this purpose with an average power of 15 W. The synthesized ruby was characterized by x-ray diffractometry. Ruby grains demonstrate strong photo-luminescence in the vicinity of 700 nm. Ruby particles were further fragmented to smaller particles using the technique of laser fragmentation in liquids and integrated into a polymer matrix. A luminescence map acquired with the help of a photo-fluorimeter confirms efficient photo-conversion of green-blue radiation of the synthesized ruby into the red region.

Abstract
The high-luminosity upgrade to the LHC requires a new silicon-strip charged-particle tracking detector for ATLAS. The HCC (Hybrid Controller Chip) is one of three new radiation-tolerant ASICs for this silicon-strip detector. As the interface to multiple binary readout ASICs, the HCC is responsible for buffering and forwarding control signals and readout requests to them as well as serializing their readout data into a 640 Mbps output. All HCCs undergo a suite of tests to verify their analog and digital functionality. The yield for the HCC exceeds the 90% target for production.

Abstract
Precise physical models of sensors are essential for developing high precision pixelated detectors. Advanced technologies allowed pixel electronics to be integrated in tens of micrometers pixel pitch. Such fine pixelated detectors suffer from charge sharing effect and, in high-Z materials, also from fluorescent photons traversing one or more pixels. This work presents a Monte-Carlo model of a 2 mm thick 70 μm pitch pixelated CdTe sensor designed for simulation of the absorption of X-ray photons from monochromatic X-ray photon beams. Charge diffusion across a pixel matrix was computed using a drift-diffusion model for each photon generating free electron-hole pairs. Based on the simulation outcome, we estimated the dependence of cluster size on photon energy and total charge distribution between neighboring pixels.

Abstract
For the Phase II upgrade at HL-LHC, CMS needs a new Outer Tracker detector able to cope with reduced material budget, increased radiation tolerance and higher pile-up conditions with respect to LHC. The main feature of the Outer Tracker will be its inclusion at the first level of the CMS trigger system with data readout at 40 MHz. Two types of modules, Pixel-Strip and Strip-Strip will equip the Outer Tracker. Each module consists of a superposition of two silicon layers, able to detect charged particles, and an innovative readout electronics, allowing a significant data rate reduction. The Concentrator Integrated Circuit (CIC) is a 65 nm CMOS radiation tolerant front-end ASIC for both modules. It is considered a fundamental element of the future detector front-end chain due to its role in aggregating and compressing data from 8 front-end ASICs on each module. It reduces the data throughput by an order of magnitude. Two first version of the CIC were previously developed and tested. This paper will present the pre-production version, called CIC2.1, together with the functional and wafer test results.

Abstract
The CERN EP R&D WP 1.2 aims to develop state-of-art monolithic pixel detectors using modern CMOS processes. The TPSCo 65 nm process is a suitable candidate and its radiation tolerance and sensor performance are therefore being studied. The impact of the back bias on the transistor behavior has also been measured to provide the designers with accurate models. This process shows sensitivity to radiation and degradation mechanisms similar to previously studied 65 nm CMOS technologies, strongly dependent on the geometry of the transistors. This paper presents preliminary characterization results of this technology that can serve as a guideline for designers.
Electronics for the far-forward CMS muon detector upgrade, ME0
Authors: Carlson Joseph 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
With the High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) we expect increased instantaneous luminosities up to 7.5 × 1034 cm−2 s−1, or five times more than the original values. In order to maintain performance of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment under these conditions, ME0 is one of three new muon sub-detectors being added, along with GE1/1 and GE2/1, which use the triple Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology. ME0 is designed to cover the forward region of 2.0 < |η| < 2.8, thus improving muon reconstruction at high background rates by supplementing other overlapping muon subsystems up to |η| = 2.4, while also extending the acceptance for the first time to |η| = 2.8. The readout electronics for ME0 must be designed to accommodate high data rates and be sufficiently radiation hard to operate close to the beamline. The Optohybrid (OH) board for ME0, which reads out data from the front-end VFAT3b ASICs, has therefore been designed to operate without an FPGA (unlike GE1/1 and GE2/1) to ensure radiation hardness. The ME0 OH uses the radiation-hard CERN-designed lpGBT ASIC and VTRx+ optical transceiver module for high bandwidth optical links up to 10.24 Gb/s. The backend system is based on the ATCA standard. The design and development status of the readout electronics for ME0 is presented, along with recent results from integration tests performed using the first prototypes.
