Sex and Race Reporting and Representation in Noncancerous Voice Clinical Trials: A Meta-Analysis of National Institutes of Health–Registered Research Between 1988 and 2021
Authors: Morton Mariah E. , Sandage Mary J. 
Published: July 2022

Purpose:
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the frequency of sex, race, and ethnicity reporting and proportional representation in funded, noncancerous voice clinical trials to determine the state of compliance with National Institutes of Health (NIH) guidelines for inclusivity in clinical research.

Method:

Clinical trials registered with the NIH/U.S. National Library of Medicine between January 1988 and September 2021 were analyzed. Primary reports of the trials were obtained from
clinicaltrials.gov
and PubMed. Outcomes included the proportion of trials reporting sex, race, and ethnicity and the proportion of participants by sex, race, and ethnicity in the trials. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) reported.

Results:

The search yielded 46 research studies. After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and attempts to locate studies were conducted, 11 total articles were ultimately evaluated. Descriptively, there were more female subjects, yet overall, no significant difference in sex distribution (χ
2
= 0.07,
p
= .75, 95% CI [−0.25, −0.19]). Race and ethnicity were only reported in two clinical trials. Black participants were underrepresented in one clinical trial (χ
2
= 4.93,
p
= .02, 95% CI [−0.11, −0.02]), whereas Hispanic participants were underrepresented in a second trial (χ
2
= 11.27,
p
< .00, 95% CI [−0.20, − 0.13]).

Conclusions:
This preliminary analysis highlights the disparities in race and ethnicity recruitment and reporting in noncancerous voice clinical trials. There is a need for strategic recruitment strategies and improved reporting practices to adhere to the NIH inclusivity directives.
Cross backstepping sliding mode control using integral barrier Lyapunov function for cross‐strict feedback systems

Published: July 2022

AbstractCross‐backstepping control for a type of uncertain non‐strict‐feedback non‐linear systems with time‐varying partial state constraints is the main subject of this work. Non‐strict‐feedback non‐linear systems are partitioned into two strict‐feedback non‐linear subsystems: constrained subsystem and unconstrained subsystem. An integral barrier Lyapunov function (IBLF) is used in each step of the backstepping design for the constrained subsystem to guarantee the boundedness of the fictional or actual state tracking errors. The effect of uncertainty is reduced using a hybrid cross‐backstepping sliding mode control (SMC) technique. The algorithm employs a systematic approach to developing control laws for non‐linear systems with matched and unmatched uncertainties. The simulation results of the proposed controller are juxtaposed with those of the cross backstepping with the time‐varying barrier Lyapunov function (TVBLF). The results demonstrate the overall better performance of the proposed method.

Published: July 2022

AbstractA virtual power plant (VPP) is a solution that brings distributed generation (DG) resources together and allows them to be optimally utilized to meet load demands in the presence of technical and pollution constraints. Electricity, heat, and natural gas are interdependent at the levels of generation, transmission, and consumption, and the interactions of these energy sources need to be considered. This paper presents an optimal model for daily operation of a multi‐energy virtual power plant (MEVPP), including electric, thermal, and natural gas sectors. MEVPP includes small‐scale gas‐fired and non‐gas‐fired DGs, combined heat and power (CHP), power to gas (P2G), boilers, electrical storage, electric vehicles (EV), and thermal storage. Renewable energy resources (RES), including wind turbines (WT), photovoltaic (PV), and PV‐thermal (PVT), also supply P2G technology. Smart grid technologies such as price‐based demand response (PBDR) and incentive‐based demand response (IBDR) are employed for electric loads. The proposed MEVPP model is eligible to participate in day‐ahead electricity, natural gas, heat markets, and electrical spinning reserve market. The scheduling model is multi‐objective to maximize MEVPP profit and minimize carbon dioxide emissions. The Epsilon constraint method is utilized to solve the problem, and the best Pareto point is chosen using the fuzzy satisfying approach.
Aripiprazole Once-Monthly Versus Oral Aripiprazole for Schizophrenia
in the Maintenance Phase: A Systematic Review and Network
Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kishi Taro , Sakuma Kenji , Iwata Nakao 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
IntroductionTo examine whether aripiprazole once-monthly (AOM) was more
beneficial than oral aripiprazole (OARI) in the treatment of adults with
schizophrenia during the maintenance phase.
MethodsWe performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis of
double-blind, randomized controlled trials that included two of the following
treatments: AOM, OARI, and placebo.
ResultsWe identified four studies involving 1830 adults. Relapse rates at
26 weeks were lower for both AOM (odds ratio [OR] 0.240, 95% confidence
interval [CI] 0.169–0.341) and OARI (OR=0.306,
95%CI=0.217–0.431) than for placebo, although their
treatment outcomes did not differ significantly (OR=0.786,
95%CI=0.529–1.168). Rates of all-cause discontinuation
were also lower with AOM (OR=0.300, 95%
CI=0.227–0.396) and OARI (OR=0.441,
95%CI=0.333–0.582) than with placebo. The rate of
all-cause discontinuation was lower with AOM than with OARI (OR=0.681,
95% CI=0.529–0.877)]. Other outcomes did not differ
significantly between AOM and OARI.
DiscussionAlthough both AOM and OARI were efficacious in the treatment of
schizophrenia during the maintenance phase, AOM was better accepted than
OARI.

Published: July 2022

ZusammenfassungDas SMILE-Verfahren scheint mit einer geschätzten Inzidenz von 0,011% unter allen gängigen keratorefraktiven Verfahren das geringste Risiko für eine postoperative Keratektasie aufzuweisen.
Dennoch kann zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt aufgrund der Neuheit des Verfahrens sowie der mangelnden Datenlage diesbezüglich keine eindeutige Überlegenheit gegenüber der Femto-LASIK oder PRK
ausgesprochen werden. Insofern sind die identischen, strengen Kriterien zur Indikationsstellung analog zu den Excimer-basierten Verfahren von großer Bedeutung, um das Risiko einer
Hornhautektasie zu minimieren. Additiv zur konventionellen Hornhauttomografie sollten neuere bildgebende Modalitäten wie OCT-basiertes Epithel-Mapping standardmäßig zum präoperativen
Screening vor keratorefraktiven Eingriffen eingesetzt werden. Mit dem kornealen Crosslinking steht eine etablierte Behandlungsmethode der Post-SMILE-Keratektasie zur Verfügung, die
insbesondere in frühen Stadien hohe Erfolgschancen verspricht. Der vorgelegte Fallbericht legt diese Sachverhalte genauer dar.
Uncovering Consciousness and Revealing the Preservation of Mental Life in Unresponsive Brain-Injured Patients
Authors: Naci Lorina , Owen Adrian M. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn the last few years, functional neuroimaging and electroencephalography-based techniques have been used to address one of the most complex and challenging questions in clinical medicine, that of detecting covert awareness in behaviorally unresponsive patients who have survived severe brain injuries. This is a very diverse population with a wide range of etiologies and comorbidities, as well as variable cognitive and behavioral abilities, which render accurate diagnosis extremely challenging. These studies have shown that some chronic behaviorally unresponsive patients harbor not only covert consciousness but also highly preserved levels of mental life. Building on this work, although in its infancy, the investigation of covert consciousness in acutely brain-injured patients could have profound implications for patient prognosis, treatment, and decisions regarding withdrawal of care. The body of evidence on covert awareness presents a moral imperative to redouble our efforts for improving the quality of life and standard of care for all brain-injured patients with disorders of consciousness.
The language of happiness in self-reported descriptions of happy moments: Words, concepts, and entities
Authors: Moreno-Ortiz Antonio , Pérez-Hernández Chantal , García-Gámez María 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article attempts to study the language of happiness from a double perspective. First, the impact and relevance of sentiment words and expressions in self-reported descriptions of happiness are examined. Second, the sources of happiness that are mentioned in such descriptions are identified. A large sample of “happy moments” from the HappyDB corpus is processed employing advanced text analytics techniques. The sentiment analysis results reveal that positive lexical items have a limited role in the description of happy moments. For the second objective, unsupervised machine learning algorithms are used to extract and cluster keywords and manually label the resulting semantic classes. Results indicate that these classes, linguistically materialized in compact lexical families, accurately describe the sources of happiness, a result that is reinforced by our named entities analysis, which also reveals the important role that commercial products and services play as a source of happiness. Thus, this study attempts to provide methodological underpinnings for the automatic processing of self-reported happy moments, and contributes to a better understanding of the linguistic expression of happiness, with interdisciplinary implications for fields such as affective content analysis, sentiment analysis, and cultural, social and behavioural studies.

Published: July 2022

Context Continental islands are important conservation targets because of their ecological singularities. In the Mexican Pacific, the Chamela Bay Islands Sanctuary in the state of Jalisco is little or not studied at all in terms of biodiversity. Aims The aim of this study is to contribute to the management plan of the sanctuary by presenting a detailed analysis of native vegetation surveys of three islands of the sanctuary. Methods We used quadrats and treks to record and compare plant diversity, species richness, and structure of woody and cacti vegetation of the islands of Cocinas, La Pajarera, and San Agustín. Key results There are 42 woody and seven cacti species on the three islands (Cocinas 28, La Pajarera 17, San Agustín 30), which represent 9% and 42% of the woody and cacti species recorded regionally, respectively. The islands harbour 20 endemic Mexican species (regionally, 8.6% of woody and 30% of cacti species) and four species in some threatened category (regionally, 0.4%). Plant species richness and vegetation structure differ among the three islands, which shared only seven species. Conclusions The richness and abundance of woody and cacti species on the three islands (total area: 55.5 ha) that include Mexican endemic and threatened species emphasise the importance of protecting the whole islands. Implications The islands need a more active vigilance to avoid induced fires and vegetation removal. Our results point out these factors as the major threats for the islands’ conservation.
Range-relaxed strategy applied to the Levenberg–Marquardt method with uniformly convex penalization term in Banach spaces
Authors: Margotti Fábio , Hafemann Eduardo 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this paper we propose the employment of the so-called range-relaxed criteria Boiger et al (2020 IMA J. Numer. Anal.
40 606–627) for choosing the regularization parameters (or equivalently, the Lagrange multipliers) of the Levenberg–Marquardt method for solving nonlinear ill-posed problems in Banach spaces. The proposed algorithm employs the Bregman distance induced by a uniformly convex functional and allows the use of a penalization generated from the total variation semi-norm. We present a geometrical interpretation of the method and deliver a complete convergence analysis, including stability and regularization properties. Further, we show that our new method is competitive by testing it with real data in the complete electrode model of 2D electrical impedance tomography.
Calculations of shake-up satellites intensities in photoelectron spectra by generalized configuration interaction method
Authors: Yarzhemsky V G , Chernysheva L V 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Satellites i.e. two-hole-one-particle states appear due to many-electron correlations in photoelectron spectra in addition to main lines corresponding to one-hole states. The correct assignment of these states is important for understanding the photoionization processes and for materials analysis by photoelectron spectroscopy. In the present work two different existing methods, which use overlap or Coulomb interaction matrix elements are considered and a new method is proposed. In this technique many-electron effects of satellites origin and interactions between satellite states are accounted for simultaneously by solving secular matrix. The method is applied to satellite states 2p

Authors: Xia Xinyi , Li Jian-Sian , Chiang Chao-Ching , Yoo Timothy Jinsoo , Ren Fan , Kim Honggyu , Pearton S J 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The band alignment of sputtered NiO on β-Ga2O3 was measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for post-deposition annealing temperatures up to 600 °C. The band alignment is type II, staggered gap in all cases, with the magnitude of the conduction and valence band offsets increasing monotonically with annealing temperature. For the as-deposited heterojunction, ΔE
V = −0.9 eV and ΔE
C = 0.2 eV, while after 600 °C annealing the corresponding values are ΔE
V = −3.0 eV and ΔE
C = 2.12 eV. The bandgap of the NiO was reduced from 3.90 eV as-deposited to 3.72 eV after 600 °C annealing, which accounts for most of the absolute change in ΔE
V−ΔE
C. Differences in thermal budget may be at least partially responsible for the large spread in band offsets reported in the literature for this heterojunction. Other reasons could include interfacial disorder and contamination. Differential charging, which could shift peaks by different amounts and could potentially be a large source of error, was not observed in our samples.
First-principles calculation of gate-tunable ferromagnetism in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene under pressure
Authors: Chen Xiao , Liu Shuanglong , Fry James N , Cheng Hai-Ping 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) is notable as a highly tunable platform for investigating strongly correlated phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity and quantum spin liquids, due to easy control of doping level through gating and sensitive dependence of the magic angle on hydrostatic pressure. Experimental observations of correlated insulating states, unconventional superconductivity and ferromagnetism in MATBG indicate that this system exhibits rich exotic phases. In this work, using density functional theory calculations in conjunction with the effective screening medium method, we find the MATBG under pressure at a twisting angle of 2.88∘ and simulate how its electronic states evolve when doping level and electric field perpendicular to plane are tuned by gating. Our calculations show that, at doping levels between two electrons and four holes per moiré unit cell, a ferromagnetic (FM) solution with spin density localized at AA stacking sites is lower in energy than the nonmagnetic solution. The magnetic moment of this FM state decreases with both electron and hole doping and vanishes at four electrons/holes doped per moiré unit cell. Hybridization between the flat bands at the Fermi level and the surrounding dispersive bands can take place at finite doping. On increasing the out-of-plane electric field at zero doping, a transition from the FM state to the nonmagnetic one is seen. An investigation of impurity effects shows that both absorption of

molecules and occurrence of Stone–Wales impurities suppress the FM state, and the mechanisms are understood from our calculations. We also analyze the interlayer bonding character due to flat bands via Wannier functions. Finally, we report trivial band topology of the flat bands in the FM state at a certain doping level.
First-principle study of the effect of point defects on the activity, carrier lifetime, and photocatalytic performance of ZnO:(S/Se/Te) system
Authors: Gu Yulan , Hou Qingyu , Zhao Chunwang 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The effect of S/Se/Te-doped ZnO system on photocatalytic performance has been extensively studied. However, theoretical computational studies on S/Se/Te-doped ZnO systems containing O or Zn vacancies are lacking. Previous theoretical computational studies have also ignored the problem of unintentional introduction of H-interstitial impurities in the semiconductor fabrication process in a vacuum environment. In this paper, first-principle study is used to investigate S/Se/Te-doping and the vacancy (VO or VZn) and H gap coexistence on the photocatalytic properties of ZnO. The results showed that the Zn35SHiO35 system has the best hole life, strong activity, obvious red shift of absorption spectrum, and strong oxidation reaction. This has good theoretical reference value to be used as a photocatalyst for oxidative reaction to decompose water to produce H2.
Lower bounds for the number of limit cycles in a generalised Rayleigh–Liénard oscillator
Authors: Euzébio Rodrigo D , Llibre Jaume , Tonon Durval J 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this paper a generalised Rayleigh–Liénard oscillator is consider and lower bounds for the number of limit cycles bifurcating from weak focus equilibria and saddle connections are provided. By assuming some open conditions on the parameters of the considered system the existence of up to twelve limit cycles is provided. More precisely, the approach consists in perform suitable changes in the sign of some specific parameters and apply Poincaré–Bendixson theorem for assure the existence of limit cycles. In particular, the algorithm for obtaining the limit cycles through the referred approach is explicitly exhibited. The main techniques applied in this study are the Lyapunov constants and the Melnikov method. The obtained results contemplate the simultaneity of limit cycles of small amplitude and medium amplitude, the former emerging from a weak focus equilibrium and the latter from homoclinic or heteroclinic saddle connections.
Evolution of surface states of antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 with tuning the surface magnetization
Authors: Yang Zhilong , Zhang Haijun 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The interplay between magnetism and topologically non-trivial electronic states is an important subject in condensed matter physics. Recently, the stoichiometric intrinsic magnetic material MnBi2Te4 provides an ideal platform to study the magnetic topological phenomena, such as quantum anomalous Hall effect, axion insulator state, topological magnetoelectric effect. However, it is still controversial whether the topological surface state in the (111) plane is gapped or not. Here, we develop an effective method to study different surface magnetizations based on first-principles calculations. Then we investigate the band dispersions, the Fermi surfaces (FSs), the quasiparticle interferences (QPIs) and the spin texture of topological surface states of MnBi2Te4 with tuning the surface magnetization. We find that the surface magnetization has significant effects on the surface states. Our results also indicate that the symmetry breaking of FSs and QPIs may be a useful way to determine the possible surface magnetization of MnBi2Te4.
Gravity-induced geometric spin Hall effect of freely falling quantum particle
Authors: Wang Zhen-Lai , Chen Xiang-Song 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
We discuss a new gravitational effect that the wave packet of a free-fall quantum particle undergoes a spin-dependent transverse shift in Earth’s gravitational field. This effect is similar to the geometric spin Hall effect (GSHE) (Aiello 2009 et al
Phys. Rev. Lett.
103 100401 ), and can be called gravity-induced GSHE. This effect suggests that the free-fall wave packets of opposite spin-polarized quantum particles can be split in the direction perpendicular to spin and gravity.
Research on the On-orbit Background of the Hard X-Ray Imager Onboard ASO-S
Authors: Liu Wei , Chen Deng-Yi , Jiang Xian-Kai , Wu Jian , Zhang Zhe , Hu Yi-Ming , Su Yang , Chen Wei , Ma Tao 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The space environment background of various particle fluxes of the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI), one of the payloads of the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) spacecraft, is investigated and presented. Different approaches are used to obtain the input information on various space environment particles (protons, alpha particles, electrons, positrons, neutrons, and photons). Some special regions (SAA and radiation belt) are also taken into account. The findings indicate that electrons are the primary background source in the radiation belt. Due to the large background flux generated by electrons, HXI cannot effectively observe solar flares in the radiation belt. Outside the radiation belt, primary protons and albedo photons are the main sources of background at low and high magnetic latitudes respectively. The statistical analysis of the flare and background spectra shows that the errors of the flare energy spectrum observation are mainly concentrated in the high energy band, and the detector still has a certain spectrum observation capability for flares of C-class and below in the low energy band of the non-radiation belt. The imaging observation of flares of C-class and below is significantly affected by the accuracy of background subtraction. The energy band with the best signal-to-noise ratio is from 10 to 50 keV, which can be used to monitor the formation and class of flares.
