AbstractObjectiveTo analyze the use of salivary biomarkers to identify psychological disorders (anxiety, depression, and stress) in individuals with oral lichen planus (OLP).Materials and MethodsThe search was made in Medline/Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, ProQuest, and by cross‐reference. Original case–control, cross‐sectional, and cohort studies, in human subjects (age ≥18 years) with clinical and histopathological diagnosis, with or without the use of psychometric scales, published until June 2021, were included. Random‐effects meta‐analyses, subgroup analyses, and sensitivity were performed. Publication bias was measured using the Egger test and visual inspection of the funnel plot.ResultsA total of 67 articles were found, of which 12 were included in the meta‐analysis. Among the different biomarkers identified, it was only possible to perform a meta‐analysis for cortisol. The mean difference between salivary cortisol levels in patients with OLP compared to controls was 3.43 ng/ml (95% CI: 1.20–5.65) with I2 = 98.9%. Studies considered outliers were removed and based on sensitivity analyses, results did not change, therefore, being stable.ConclusionThe studies analyzed demonstrated that cortisol was the most quantified biomarker to identify psychological disorders; however, DHEA, IgA, adiponectin, and α‐amylase were also evaluated.

AbstractA 63‐year‐old man was admitted to the hospital due to ventricular tachycardia (VT) undersensing, caused by decreased R‐wave amplitude in a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator. The R‐wave amplitude of VT sensed by the left ventricular (LV) lead was markedly higher than that by the right ventricular (RV) lead; therefore, we reconnected the IS‐1 RV lead to the LV IS‐1 port and the IS‐1 LV lead to the RV IS‐1 port to resolve this issue. After discharge, it was confirmed that VT was successfully terminated by the second sequence of intrinsic ATP (iATP, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) from the LV lead.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe presence of aggregates of various sizes in the soil is an important condition for soil carbon sequestration. In this system, microbial biomass is a key link. This work was devoted to the study of the influence of land use systems on the distribution of SOС, MB‐SIR, microbial activity and eco‐physiological indices (qCO2, QR, MB‐SIR/SOС and qCO2/SOС) in relation to the size of soil aggregates. The distribution of SOС, MB‐SIR and mineralization activity among the aggregates was heterogeneous. In the soil of crop rotation, high mineralization activity and MB‐SIR were found in the aggregates 0.5–0.1 mm, in the monoculture soil in aggregates <0.1 mm and in the control soil in the aggregates 1–0.25 mm. There was a general trend towards a decrease in microbial activity, MB‐SIR and SOС availability with an increase in aggregate size. In agricultural soils, microbial activity was determined by large aggregates (>5 mm), while in the control soil, by the aggregates 5–1 mm. Depending on the type of site and the size of aggregates, the differences in microbial metabolism were revealed. The qCO2 and QR values decreased, and the MB‐SIR/SOС and qCO2/SOС increased in the series: control soil > crop rotation > monoculture. In the control soil, the values of the eco‐physiological indices decreased with decreasing aggregate size. And vice versa, in agricultural soils, these parameters were the highest in the microaggregates (<0.25 mm). The monoculture soil, in contrast to the control soil and crop rotation soil, turned out to be more energy efficient.

Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo report the outcomes of dogs undergoing shoulder arthrodesis with the application of 2 locking compression plates (LCPs).Study designRetrospective case series.AnimalsTwelve client owned dogs undergoing shoulder arthrodesis using 2 LCPs as the principal method of fixation.MethodsMedical records were searched for dogs who had undergone shoulder arthrodesis at a hospital between 2014‐2021. Inclusion criteria required at least 6 months postoperative follow up and the use of 2 LCPs as the principal method of arthrodesis. Outcomes recorded include clinical assessment, Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs (LOAD) scoring, force plate analysis, and a client visual‐analogue scale with at least 6 months follow up.ResultsAll shoulders were immobilized with 2 LCPs and no postoperative external coaptation. The duration of follow up was 855.9 days (174‐2135). Minor complications were recorded in 2/12 dogs, neither requiring surgical revision. Preoperative to postoperative mean lameness scores reduced from 2.9 to 0.8 (0‐5), with 11/12 dogs making a full functional recovery, with a mean long‐term LOAD score of 12.9 (4‐23). Gait analysis was available in 5/12 dogs, placing a mean of 31.9% of their bodyweight on the operated limb, with a mean symmetry index of 8.7%. Owners scores (n = 11/12) were consistent with a high level of satisfaction (9.6/10).ConclusionShoulder arthrodesis with 2 LCPs was associated with low morbidity and good outcomes in our clinical setting.Clinical significanceCanine shoulder arthrodesis performed with 2 LCPs should be considered as a suitable alternative in dogs with severe shoulder joint pathology.

AbstractMorphology has been a leading taxonomic guiding light to systematists for the last couple of hundred years. However, the genetic and – more recently – genomic revolution have produced numerous demonstrations of erroneous classifications that were based on labile morphological traits. We used thousands of genome‐wide markers to shed light on evolutionary dynamics in a confusing and taxonomically obscure group of Asian Cyornis flycatchers. Using genomic data, we corroborated recent findings based on three mitochrondrial and five nuclear genes that the two taxa hainanus and klossi which were previously treated as separate species (Cyornis hainanus and Cyornis rubeculoides klossi, respectively) are genomically homogeneous and form a single species, C. hainanus. We also uncovered a novel case of interbreeding between C. hainanus and a non‐sister species, C. glaucicomans, illustrating these flycatchers' ability to hybridise in marginal situations even after substantial times of divergence. Our study illustrates how genome‐wide loci can shed light on complicated taxonomic problems, resulting in a better integration of phenotypic and genotypic data.
An Equation for the Bulk Modulus of Composites Derived From the Effective Medium Theory

Published: September 2022

AbstractBulk modulus has wide applications in well engineering, seismic exploration, waste reinjection, and predicting pore pressure in carbonate reservoirs. However, there is no easy way to obtain accurate values for the effective bulk modulus of rocks. Practically, researchers use rigorous, costly, and time-consuming experiments on core samples. But, stress release and changing rock’s environment have affected the accuracy of results. Also, it is impossible to get accurate values of the effective bulk modulus from theory without accounting for the deformation of microcracks in the rock. Existing models do not consider the presence of microcracks because of the inability to define the positions of cracks relative to one another. Thus, earlier studies introduced approximations to define the upper and lower bounds of values. This study aims to overcome this limitation by accounting for the fluids in the microcracks, apart from those in stiff pores. From the product of the surface area and thickness of the fluid in the microcracks, the authors generated proportionality between the volume of fluid and that of the grain and obtained expression for the crack porosity. Then analytical and numerical techniques were applied to obtain models for the effective bulk modulus. The results show that the presence and magnitude of inclusions reduce the effective bulk modulus significantly. This was validated by a finite element analysis (FEA) using the FEATool run in matlab. In addition, higher volume of fluids in the microcracks makes the rate of change of the bulk modulus with the porosity to be higher.
Sound Generation in Multicomponent Nozzle Flows With Dissipation
Authors: Jain Animesh , Magri Luca 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Low emission aircraft engines burn in a lean regime, which makes the combustor susceptible to unsteady combustion. Along with improper mixing and air cooling, the unsteady combustion process gives rise to flow inhomogeneities. The acceleration of these inhomogeneities in the nozzle downstream of the combustor generates indirect combustion noise. If the acoustic waves that are reflected off the nozzle are sufficiently in phase with the heat released by the flame, thermoacoustic instabilities can occur. The generation and transmission of sound through the nozzle guide vane are typically modeled with a compact and isentropic nozzle model. Because the flow is non-isentropic due to losses from wall friction and recirculation zones, in the literature, a mismatch is observed between experimental and theoretical predictions in subsonic-choked regimes. In this work, we propose a low-order physical model to predict indirect noise in a multicomponent nozzle flow with dissipation using conservation laws whilst modeling non-isentropicity using a friction factor. The model is generalized for finite-length (non-compact) arbitrary geometry nozzles. We show that the friction factor can account for wall friction and two (or three) dimensional effects, such as flow recirculation in a cross-averaged sense. We analyze the model numerically for both subsonic and supersonic nozzles, emphasizing the importance of non-isentropic and non-compact assumptions with compositional inhomogeneities. Further, we show the effect of the nozzle geometry. The results are validated with existing experimental data from the literature.
Efficient and Consistent Two Key-Frame Visual-Inertial Navigation Using Matrix Lie Groups
Authors: Thalagala Ravindu G. , De Silva Oscar , Mann George K. I. , Gosine Raymond G. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This paper presents the design of a two key-frame visual-inertial navigation system (2KF-VINS) using a combined Lie group SE2(3) extended Kalman filter (EKF) design framework. The conventional 2KF-VINS filter is unobservable for translations along all three axes and rotation about the gravity direction. As a result, the filter suffers from estimation inconsistencies related to unobservable transformations of the estimation problem. The proposed combined Lie group SE2(3) framework remedies this issue by implicitly preserving the observability consistency property of the filter. Monte Carlo numerical simulations are used to validate the theoretical performance of the right−SE2(3) 2KF-VINS, along with experimental validation using the EuRoC micro aerial vehicle (MAV) dataset to evaluate the performance in real-world scenarios. Additionally, the proposed algorithm is compared with state-of-the-art MSCKF, RI-MSCKF, left−SO(3), and right−SO(3) 2KF-VINS versions with identical and realistic tuning parameters to validate the performance related to the accuracy, consistency, and computational speed of the method.
The Mechanism of Slip System Activation With Grain Rotation During Superplastic Forming

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The activated slip system of Ti-6Al-4V alloy during the superplastic forming (SPF) was investigated by the in-grain misorientation axes analysis (IGMA), and the mechanisms of slip system activation have been discussed. Depending on the distribution of IGMA, one significant discovery from this study is that all the basal, prismatic, and pyramidal slip systems would be activated. Considering the effective slip systems, Schmid factors, and the Euler angles together, it is suggested that the dominant slip systems not only desired the largest Schmid factors but strongly demand continuous Schmid factors among the adjacent grains. Meanwhile, the estimated critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) on basal &lt;a&gt; and prismatic &lt;a&gt; at the temperature of 920 °C with the strain rate of 10−3 s is given. An original method of roughly estimating dominant slip systems with Euler angles has been introduced, which predicts that grain rotation may change the slip system. Furthermore, the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) is employed to simulate the evolution of Euler angles, and the grain orientation presents the largest set of significant clusters around the (1¯100) after deformation. Besides, the continuity of the Schmid factor assumption for the activated slip system has also been verified by CPFEM. In addition, the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue λ1 = 1 of Euler angle rotation matrix is calculated to be aligned with the grain rotation axis, which can be applied to describe the grain rotation.

Abstract
This paper describes a modified F-factor approach for real-time performance monitoring of heat rate and CO2 emissions for fossil fuel power plants. The calculation protocol introduced in the present investigation is a modification of the F-factor method mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It utilizes Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) data to evaluate an F-factor based on actual conditions prevailing in the combustion process, and therefore is less reliant on the use of empirical correction factors. The proposed method is intended to be used in combination with a real-time output-loss performance monitoring approach described herein. It was shown that when modified F-factors were corrected back to standard conditions of stack pressure and temperature, and stoichiometric combustion was assumed, standard EPA F-factors were comparable in magnitude to the values generated by the real-time algorithm. The modified F-factor method was used to evaluate the gross heat rate. The resulting heat rate values were identical to those obtained by a real-time performance monitoring algorithm for the same input data. The modified F-factor method was likewise used to calculate the mass flow rate of CO2 as a function of gross plant generation. Those resulting values were compared to similar data reported to EPA. The real-time CO2 mass flow rate data obtained using the modified F-factor method agreed more closely with the EPA F-factor values as the plant load increased.
Using Temperature Variations to Demonstrate Analogous Carnot Heat Engines for Salinity Gradient Energy via Capacitive Mixing
Authors: Moreno Daniel A. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
A proof-of-concept electrochemical analog for a Carnot cycle is developed using a capacitive mixing (CapMix) engine to extract electrical energy from a salinity gradient. Here, temperature is allowed to vary to assist in the development of such a cycle. The Gouy-Chapman-Stern model for the electrochemical double layer (EDL) reveals theoretically that approximately a 50 mM concentration difference can be used if the initial concentration is 100 mM. Under transient conditions, this range was further limited to lower than 10 mM, but revealed some interesting trends in the current, flow rate, and heat input control: Flow should nearly be stopped when the cell is not charged or discharged, heat transfer should account for variations in the surrounding air temperature, and additional discharging is necessary to return to the initial concentration. Approximately 0.25 kJ of electrical work was extracted from the cycle, accounting for approximately 10% of the available energy from the mixing process. However, while the cycle operates as a Carnot analog electrochemically, thermodynamically over 800 kJ of heat is required to drive the temperature differences, so this heat needs to be managed carefully when realistic time and geometric parameters are introduced.
Effect of Fin Shape on Constrained Melting Heat Transfer of Phase Change Material in a Spherical Capsule: A Numerical Study
Authors: Sharma Akhalesh , Saxena Vivek , Sahu Santosh K. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The present work is focussed on numerical investigation of the constrained melting of phase change material (n-octadecane) in a circumferentially finned spherical capsule keeping the base and volume of the fins equal in all cases. Four different fin shapes, namely straight, trapezoidal converging, stepped, stepped inverse, located at the center of the spherical capsule are considered for the study A series of two-dimensional transient numerical simulations are carried out. Present numerical results are validated with the existing experimental results of Fan et al. [5]. Various thermal performance parameters is used for comparative analysis. Baseline comparison of fin and no fin case have also been discussed. The least melting time of PCM is 114 min for the stepped fin, while the maximum melting time is 120 min and is reported for the straight fin. The surface area to volume ratio (S/V) of fins has been calculated for every case. Irrespective of the lower S/V ratio, the melting time of inverse stepped fin is lower than straight fin because of the excellent melting performance of inverse stepped fin in weak convection region. From the results, it has been concluded that changing the shape of fin from the base case of straight fin does not change the melting time significantly for fin volume considered in the present study. This research could be used as a reference for LHTES unit fin design optimization in the industrial setting.
