AbstractBackground and aimsThrombotic events (TEs) have been extensively studied in adult cancer patients, but data in children are limited. We prospectively analyzed pediatric cancer‐associated thrombosis (PCAT) in children with malignancies.MethodsChildren below 15 years of age with confirmed malignancies, treated at a large tertiary cancer center in India from July 2015 to March 2020 developing any TE were eligible. A standardized approach for detection and management was followed. Data were collected after informed consent.ResultsOf 6132 eligible children, 150 (2.44%) had 152 TEs, with median age 8.5 years and male:female of 1.83:1. Most TEs occurred on chemotherapy: 111 (74.0%). The most common site was central nervous system (CNS) 59 (39.3%), followed by upper‐limb venous system 37 (24.7%). Hemato‐lymphoid (HL) malignancies were more prone to PCAT than solid tumors (ST) (incidence 3.23% vs. 1.58%; odds ratio [OR] = 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.36–2.88];p < .001). Malignancies associated with PCAT were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) 2.94%, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) 6.66%, and non‐Hodgkin lymphomas 5.35%. Response imaging done in 106 (70.7%) children showed complete to partial resolution in almost 90% children. Death was attributable to TE in seven (4.66%) children. Age above 10 years (OR 2.33, 95% CI [1.59–3.41];p < .001), AML (OR 4.62, 95% CI [1.98–10.74];p = .0062), and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (OR 4.01, 95% CI [1.15–14.04];p = .029) were significantly associated with TEs. In ALL, age more than 10 years (OR 1.86, 95% CI [1.06–3.24];p < .03), T‐ALL (OR 3.32, 95% CI [1.69–6.54];p = .001), and intermediate‐risk group (OR 4.97, 95% CI [1.12–22.02];p = .035) were significantly associated with thrombosis. The 2‐year event‐free survival (EFS) for HL malignancies with PCAT was 55.3% versus 72.1% in those without PCAT (p = .05), overall survival (OS) being 84.6% versus 80.0% (p = .32).ConclusionIncidence of PCAT was 2.4%, and occurred predominantly in older children with hematolymphoid malignancies early in treatment. Most resolved completely with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and mortality was low. In hematolymphoid malignancies, PCAT reduce EFS, highlighting the need for prevention.

Published: November 2022

AbstractPlastic gears are widely used for various applications; however high environmental problems, low working life, and weak wear performance caused by high contact friction and running temperatures limited their use, particularly in medium‐to‐high power transmission. This study is an initial approach to develop and investigate hybrid woven‐natural fiber reinforced polymer composites for medium‐to‐high power transmission gears. Also, no research has been proposed to investigate the thermal stability and degradation, and wear performance of hybrid flax(F)/bamboo(B) woven composites. The current work seeks to regulate the wear, friction, and thermal stability of flax/bamboo hybrid epoxy composites by carefully selecting the stacking sequence. The composites were stacked in following sequence: F/B/B/F, B/F/F/B, F/F/B/B, and F/B/F/B. The tribological and thermal performance of the composites were investigated using a pin on a rotating disc test (ASTM G99) and thermogravimetric analysis (ASTM E 1131‐03) under ambient conditions. Results revealed that the stacking sequence significantly influenced the thermal stability and degradation, and wear properties. The thermal stability of B/F/F/B was found to be higher, demonstrating the increase in the amount of char residue in placing bamboo lamina as the skin. Tribological results indicate that the hybridization of flax/bamboo fibers into an epoxy matrix enhanced the wear performance. Also, B/F/F/B exhibited the maximum reduction in coefficient of friction and specific wear compared with pure epoxy (26%–50% and 65%–94%) and F/F/B/B (16%–49% and 21%–40%). The morphology of worn surfaces was studied in detail to correlate the specific wear rate with wear mechanisms. Based on the improved thermal and wear resistance, bio‐composite with B/F/F/B stacking can be used for gear applications.

AbstractEosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; formerly known as Churg‐Strauss syndrome) is classified as an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‐associated small vessel vasculitis. It is a multisystem disorder and can affect every organ system. EGPA is a rare disease, with an estimated prevalence of 1/70,000–100,000 in Europe. As its onset usually occurs in adulthood, data from pediatric patients are limited. We present here a very rare practical EGPA clinical case involving a pediatric patient. Presently, data on mepolizumab usage in pediatric patients are limited, with only a few case reports published.

AbstractIn this work, electrostatic spraying was used to prepare TNBA/DNTF eutectic mixtures with different mass ratios. The T−X phase diagram and the H−X phase diagram were drawn from the DSC curves of the eutectic mixtures. The morphology, composition, structure, thermal decomposition properties, mechanical sensitivity, thermal sensitivity, and detonation properties of the lowest eutectic were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (IR), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis‐mass spectrometry (TG‐MS), thermal sensitivity tests, mechanical sensitivity tests, and detonation performance calculations. The results showed that the best molar ratio of TNBA to DNTF was 59.41 : 40.59, whereas the best mass ratio was 60.17 : 39.83. The microscopic morphology was free of sharp edges and corners, the component proportions were the same as before electrostatic spraying, the surface elements were evenly distributed, and the crystal structure was essentially the same as those of the raw materials. The melting temperature was 352.0 K, which was 21.0 K and 33.1 K lower than those of the TNBA and DNTF raw materials, respectively. The thermal decomposition reaction rate constant (k), activation energy (EK), and preexponential factor (AK) of the lowest eutectic were 0.398 s−1, 81.34 kJ ⋅ mol−1, and 4.86×107 s−1, respectively. In the lowest eutectic, the component TNBA began to thermally decompose first, followed by DNTF. The main decomposition products of the lowest eutectic were CH4, H2O, H2, CO, N2, NH3, CO2, and N2O, with a small amount of C. The impact sensitivity (H50), friction sensitivity (P), and 5 s explosion temperature (T5s) of the lowest eutectic mixture were 39.7 cm, 28 %, and 563 K, respectively. Its detonation performance (OB=−36.52 %, QD=−4658 kJ ⋅ kg−1, vD=7598.37 m ⋅ s−1) was intermediate between those of TNBA and DNTF. The main detonation products were CO2, N2, CO, C(d), H2O, Br, and CH2O2.

Published: November 2022

AbstractEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), is an invasive procedure with a high complication rate used in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary system diseases. A system that grading the difficulty and complexity of the ERCP procedure has been developed by the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). The aim of the study is to evaluate the degree of difficulty of ERCP procedures according to the ASGE grading system and its effectiveness in predicting the success and complications of the procedure. A total of 600 patients who underwent ERCP were evaluated retrospectively. Of all ERCP procedures, 5.5% were classified as ASGE 1, 46.8% as ASGE 2, 39% as ASGE 3, and 8.6% as ASGE 4. In all procedures, the successful cannulation rate was 96.3%, the technical success rate was 96%, and the clinical success rate was 94.8%. The procedure's success decreased linearly and the need for repetition increased linearly as the ASGE grade increased (p > .05). In terms of complications, there was no statistical difference between ASGE 1–3 and 4. We believe that the ASGE grading system will be useful in clinical practice, particularly for less experienced endoscopists in ERCP procedures.

AbstractThe restricted charge transfer and slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) dynamics tremendously hamper the realistic implementation of SnS2 photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Here, a novel strategy is developed to construct interfacial NCuS bonds between NC skeletons and SnS2 (CuNC@SnS2) for efficient PEC water splitting. Compared with SnS2, the PEC activity of CuNC@SnS2 photoelectrode is tremendously heightened, obtaining a current density of 3.40 mA cm2 at 1.23 VRHE with a negatively shifted onset potential of 0.04 VRHE, which is 6.54 times higher than that of SnS2. The detailed experimental characterizations and theoretical calculation demonstrate that the interfacial NCuS bonds enhance the OER kinetic, reduce the surface overpotential, facilitate the separation of photon‐generated carriers, and provide a fast transmission channel for electrons. This work presents a new approach for modulating charge transfer by interfacial bond design in heterojunction photoelectrodes toward promoting PEC performance and solar energy application.

AbstractRecently, the growing demand for a renewable and sustainable fuel alternative is contingent on fuel cell technologies. Even though it is regarded as an environmentally sustainable method of generating fuel for immediate concerns, it must be enhanced to make it extraordinarily affordable, and environmentally sustainable. Hydrogen (H2) synthesis by electrochemical water splitting (ECWS) is considered one of the foremost potential prospective methods for renewable energy output and H2society implementation. Existing massive H2output is mostly reliant on the steaming reformation of carbon fuels that yield CO2together with H2and is a finite resource. ECWS is a viable, efficient, and contamination‐free method for H2evolution. Consequently, developing reliable and cost‐effective technology for ECWS was a top priority for scientists around the globe. Utilizing renewable technologies to decrease total fuel utilization is crucial for H2evolution. Capturing and transforming the fuel from the ambient through various renewable solutions for water splitting (WS) could effectively reduce the need for additional electricity. ECWS is among the foremost potential prospective methods for renewable energy output and the achievement of a H2‐based economy. For the overall water splitting (OWS), several transition‐metal‐based polyfunctional metal catalysts for both cathode and anode have been synthesized. Furthermore, the essential to the widespread adoption of such technology is the development of reduced‐price, super functional electrocatalysts to substitute those, depending on metals. Many metal‐premised electrocatalysts for both the anode and cathode have been designed for the WS process. The attributes of H2and oxygen (O2) dynamics interactions on the electrodes of water electrolysis cells and the fundamental techniques for evaluating the achievement of electrocatalysts are outlined in this paper. Special emphasis is paid to their fabrication, electrocatalytic performance, durability, and measures for enhancing their efficiency. In addition, prospective ideas on metal‐based WS electrocatalysts based on existing problems are presented. It is anticipated that this review will offer a straight direction toward the engineering and construction of novel polyfunctional electrocatalysts encompassing superior efficiency in a suitable WS technique.

AbstractBackgroundLymphoma with Mott cell change, or Mott cell lymphoma (MCL), is an uncommon variant of canine lymphoma. Because of its rare occurrence, there has been no comprehensive study describing the disease so far. Miniature dachshunds, a popular breed in Japan, sometimes experience MCL.ObjectivesTo investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of MCL in miniature dachshunds.MethodsMedical records were retrospectively reviewed to identify miniature dachshunds diagnosed with MCL and other types of lymphoma. Data on clinical and laboratory findings, treatments and outcomes were collected. Survival times were compared between miniature dachshunds with MCL and other types of lymphoma.ResultsOf the 87 miniature dachshunds diagnosed with lymphoma, 9 (10%) had cytological characteristics of MCL. All 9 miniature dachshunds with MCL were categorised as having alimentary lymphoma (small and/or large intestine, 6 dogs; mesenteric lymph node, 3 dogs). The median age was 3.1 years (range, 2.0–9.4 years). All nine dogs were treated with chemotherapeutic protocols used for large cell lymphoma or alkylating agents such as melphalan or chlorambucil. The overall response rate to initial chemotherapy was 78%, and the median progression‐free survival was 105 days. Overall survival in these nine dogs ranged from 6 to >1513 days (median, 240 days), which was significantly longer than in 29 miniature dachshunds with alimentary large cell lymphoma other than MCL (median, 57 days;p = 0.0491).ConclusionsMCL in miniature dachshunds can be recognised as a peculiar type of B‐cell lymphoma occurring in relatively young dogs as an alimentary form and has a longer survival compared with typical alimentary large cell lymphoma.

Published: November 2022

AbstractLesser (Chen caerulescens caerulescens, LSGO) and greater snow goose (Chen caerulescens atlantica, GSGO) populations have increased substantially in the past 50 years. The light goose conservation order established in 1998 (Canada) and 1999 (U.S.) aimed to increase snow goose harvest and stabilize populations because breeding ground abundance was thought to negatively impact arctic ecosystems. In the Atlantic flyway, where LSGO and GSGO are both available for harvest, techniques to differentiate sub‐species in the field using morphology may be helpful for harvest management because mid‐continent LSGO are ~16 times more abundant than GSGO (n < 1,000,000). We investigated percentages and spatial distribution of LSGO and GSGO in the spring harvest in NY as this information could be useful for snow goose population and harvest management decisions. We developed a discriminant function analysis (DFA) using heads from snow geese harvested during spring 2016 to 2018 and were able to differentiate between LSGO and GSGO with 95.5% accuracy. Based on the DFA results, we estimated that spring harvest in New York state was 80% GSGO and 20% LSGO. Using band recoveries from autumn and spring harvests, we also identified that GSGO harvest occurred farther west during spring than autumn and in the 2010s than prior two decades. Our results indicate that GSGO comprise most snow goose harvest in New York state and provide evidence for a shift in spring migration patterns of GSGO since the 1990s.

AbstractEstimates of sex‐ and age‐specific survival are important for guiding population management decisions for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). However, differences in deer survival between public and private lands can exist and, if unaccounted for, may affect wildlife agencies' ability to effectively manage statewide and local deer populations. From 2014 to 2016, we radiocollared and monitored survival of 79 adult white‐tailed deer (141 deer‐years; 62 male, 79 female) on 2 public and 2 private properties in Alabama, USA. We assessed the effects of sex, age, and landownership type (i.e., public or private) on adult white‐tailed deer harvest and survival patterns using an information‐theoretic approach. Hunter harvest accounted for 77% of observed mortalities (n = 23/30), but harvest and survival rates varied by sex and age. Harvest and survival were similar between public and private property despite more restrictive hunting regulations for antlered deer on public areas. Similar harvest rates were likely due to self‐imposed, quality deer management (QDM) harvest strategies on private land that emulated the effects of a state‐mandated antler point restriction (APR) on public land. Our findings indicate survival rates of adult white‐tailed deer may be applicable across landownership types where state‐mandated harvest regulations with respect to males are more restrictive on public than private property, due to the popularity of QDM by private‐land deer hunters. However, where regulations are similar across landownership types (e.g., no state‐mandated APR), differences in harvest and survival rates may exist.

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe Web3 vision takes blockchain disintermediation to a next level by making it ubiquitous, encompassing not only payments and financial services but also digital identities, data and business models. Recently, Web3 has gained massive attention by major analysts such as Gartner, Forrester, Forbes Technology Council and the Harvard Business Review. Albeit the current enthusiasm about Web3, we are lost in a state of confusion about what Web3 actually is – or could be. In this paper, we take an engineering approach. We discuss a potential foundation of Web3 in terms of fundamental components, architectural principles and a Web3 design space. We conclude that, from an engineering viewpoint, the Web3 can be characterized as the integration of digital rights exchange into the (application layer) internet protocols. Finally, on the basis of these findings, we discuss the Alphabill platform as a Web3 enabling technology.
On Drell-Yan production of scalar leptoquarks coupling to heavy-quark flavours
Authors: Haisch Ulrich , Schnell Luc , Schulte Stefan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Given the hints of lepton-flavour non-universality in semi-leptonic B decays, leptoquark (LQ) models with sizeable couplings to heavy-quark flavours are enjoying a renaissance. While such models are subject to stringent constraints from low-energy experiments also bounds from non-resonant dilepton searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) turn out to be phenomenologically relevant. Based on the latest LHC dilepton analyses corresponding to an integrated luminosity of around 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} $$

s

= 13 TeV, we present improved limits on the scalar LQ couplings that involve heavy-quark flavours and light or heavy dileptons. In particular, we show that effects beyond the leading order that are related to real QCD emissions are relevant in this context, since the inclusion of additional heavy-flavoured jets notably improves the exclusion limits that derive from the high-mass dilepton tails. The impact of electroweak corrections and interference effects between signal and background is also analysed. Within the POWHEG-BOX framework we provide a dedicated Monte Carlo code that allows for an on-the-fly signal event generation including all the LQ corrections considered in this article.
Tricritical phenomena in holographic chiral phase transitions
Authors: Matsumoto Masataka 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We study critical phenomena at a tricritical point associated with a chiral phase transition which emerges in the D3/D7 model in the presence of a finite baryon number density and an external magnetic field. We numerically determine critical exponents related to the thermodynamic quantities and correlation functions. We find that the values of the critical exponents agree with the mean-field values. The scaling relations between the critical exponents are satisfied, implying that the scaling hypothesis for the free energy and the correlation functions hold. Our results indicate that the critical phenomena at the tricritical point in the D3/D7 model are well described by the conventional Landau theory.
Quest for realistic non-singular black-hole geometries: regular-center type
Authors: Maeda Hideki 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe propose seven criteria to single out physically reasonable non-singular black-hole models and adopt them to four different spherically symmetric models with a regular center and their rotating counterparts. In general relativity, all such non-singular black holes are non-generic with a certain matter field including a class of nonlinear electromagnetic fields. According to a criterion that the effective energy-momentum tensor should satisfy all the standard energy conditions in asymptotically flat regions, the well- known Bardeen and Hayward black holes are discarded. In contrast, the Dymnikova and Fan-Wang black holes respect the dominant energy condition everywhere. Although the rotating Fan-Wang black hole contains a curvature singularity, the rotating Dymnikova black hole is free from scalar polynomial curvature singularities and closed timelike curves. In addition, the dominant energy condition is respected on and outside the event horizons in the latter case. The absence of parallelly propagated curvature singularities remains an open question.
