SELF‐TUNING CONTROL OF AN INDUSTRIAL PHOSPHATE DRY PROCESS
Authors: Najim K. , Najim M. , Youlal H. 
Published: November 2022

SUMMARYThis paper presents experimental results of an application of self‐tuning control to an industrial process. The process involved is an industrial phosphate dryer. The main control objective is to keep the moisture content of the dried phosphate close to a constant desired value (1‐5 per cent) and at the same time to minimize the energy consumption, despite feed flow rate variations (100~240t/h) and variable moisture content of the damp phosphate (7 ~ 20 per cent).A simplified model of the complex dynamics of the physical plant was assumed. The controller uses a recursive factorization parameters estimator (either square root or upper diagonal factorization form) based on the method of least squares, to estimate an implicit plant‐controller model for the control design. The algorithm employed is based on a generalized minimum variance strategy. Both set point following and feedforward control actions are included in the tuning strategy.The results of the self‐tuning control experiment reported in this paper are compared with the controlled performances achieved when using conventional multi‐loop PID regulators, operating on steady state. The results obtained over several weeks of continuous experimentation illustrate the key features of self‐adaptive control, especially its inherent capability to adapt to the change of the operating point, where conventional control fails.A 4‐3 per cent saving was gained by the use of the presented algorithm compared to the best controlled performances that were achieved when using conventional PID regulators. Thus this provides a heavy motive to introduce advanced computer control to the Moroccan phosphate industry in an economic way.

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectiveAlthough nonsuicidal self‐injury is a public health concern, there is little information on how it changes across adolescence or what contributes to stability or change. We aimed to identify trajectories of stability and change in self‐injury from ages 13 to 17 years, and to identify interpersonal and intrapersonal correlates that differentiate between trajectories of stability and change.MethodWe used five annual waves of cohort‐sequential data, targeting 7th and 8th graders attending all public schools in three municipalities in central Sweden. The data were gathered via questionnaires, using a multi‐item measure of non‐suicidal self‐injury and assessing negative experiences at home, in school, with peers, and in romantic settings, as well as intrapersonal issues (internalizing symptoms and difficulties with emotional, and behavioral regulation). The analytic sample was 3195 adolescents (51.7% boys, 48.3% girls; ages 12–16 years at T1, M = 13.61; SD = 0.66), most of whom were born in Sweden (88.6%) to at least one parent of Swedish origin (77.4%).ResultsLatent growth curve modeling revealed three self‐injury trajectories: a stable‐low, a low‐increasing, and an increasing‐decreasing trajectory. Adolescents in the stable‐low class reported the best overall adjustment at ages 13 and 16. Comparatively, adolescents in the other two classes reported similar levels of difficulty interpersonally and intrapersonally. Where they differed, the increase‐decrease class fared worse than the low‐increasing class.ConclusionsThis study suggests the need to frame self‐injury as having multiple directions of development during adolescence and develop theory that aligns with differential patterns of self‐injury development.

Published: November 2022

AbstractFanpy is a free and open‐source Python library for developing and testing multideterminant wavefunctions and related ab initio methods in electronic structure theory. The main use of Fanpy is to quickly prototype new methods by making it easier to convert the mathematical formulation of a new wavefunction ansätze to a working implementation. Fanpy is designed based on our recently introduced Flexible Ansatz for N‐electron Configuration Interaction (FANCI) framework, where multideterminant wavefunctions are represented by their overlaps with Slater determinants of orthonormal spin‐orbitals. In the simplest case, a new wavefunction ansatz can be implemented by simply writing a function for evaluating its overlap with an arbitrary Slater determinant. Fanpy is modular in both implementation and theory: the wavefunction model, the system's Hamiltonian, and the choice of objective function are all independent modules. This modular structure makes it easy for users to mix and match different methods and for developers to quickly explore new ideas. Fanpy is written purely in Python with standard dependencies, making it accessible for various operating systems. In addition, it adheres to principles of modern software development, including comprehensive documentation, extensive testing, quality assurance, and continuous integration and delivery protocols. This article is considered to be the official release notes for the Fanpy library.

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron variant has a low rate of serious illness, is highly contagious, and has spread rapidly since January 2022. The number of severe cases and deaths remains problematic. Here, we aimed to elucidate the coagulation pathology of Omicron‐infected patients using rotational thromboelastometry.MethodsPatients with coronavirus disease 2019, hospitalized and treated from January 2021 to April 2022, were included. The Alpha–Delta and Omicron groups were defined during admission. Blood tests, clinical course, and rotational thromboelastometry measurements were compared using a propensity score‐matched cohort.ResultsBoth groups had 21 patients each. Lactate dehydrogenase (Alpha–Delta group [interquartile range] vs. Omicron group [interquartile range]; 449 [368–518] U/L vs. 241 [196–398] U/L, p = 0.01) and ferritin (1428 [1145–3061] ng/dl vs. 481 [188–881] ng/dl, p = 0.0002) levels were significantly lower in the Omicron group. In rotational thromboelastometry, the thrombus hardness indexes FIBTEM A5 (29 [23–34] mm vs. 23 [18–28] mm, p = 0.034) and maximum clot firmness (34 [27–40] mm vs. 26 [21–33] mm, p = 0.021) were significantly lower in the Omicron group, whereas the fibrinolysis index FIBTEM LI60 (98 [92–100] % vs. 100 [100–100] %, p = 0.0082) was higher.ConclusionSevere coagulation abnormalities may be less likely in Omicron‐infected patients than in those infected with the previous Alpha and Delta variants.
Exploring the processes of connection and disconnection in imagery work in a patient with depression and dependent personality disorder
Authors: Leboeuf Isabelle , Antoine Pascal 
Published: November 2022

AbstractImagery work is a useful therapeutic tool in the treatment of depression. It is central in different therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and compassion‐focused therapy. The clinical case of Cynthia is presented. Cynthia started therapy for severe depression associated with social anxiety and dependent personality disorder. At different key moments in the therapy, the proposed change strategies led to ruptures in the therapeutic alliance. For example, difficulties in accepting depression, fears of being judged by the therapist, guided imagery of compassion and work on the termination of therapy were both triggers of ruptures and spaces for working on the issues linked to the therapeutic relationship. The interactions between different factors of the therapeutic relationship from the perspectives of both the patient and therapist and the implementation of imagery practices in session are presented.

BackgroundWhile the Oncotype DX 21‐gene recurrence score (RS) has been recommended for guiding ER+/HER2− breast cancer treatment decisions, it is limited by cost and availability.PurposeTo develop a multiparametric MRI‐based radiomics model for assessing ER+/HER2− breast cancer patients' 21‐gene RS.Study TypeRetrospective.SubjectsA total of 151 patients with pathologically confirmed ER+/HER2− breast cancers, who underwent preoperative breast MR examinations and 21‐gene expression assays, divided into training (n = 106) and validation (n = 45) cohorts.Field Strength/SequenceT2‐weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic contrast‐enhancement (DCE) sequence at 1.5 T or 3 T.AssessmentA total of 1046 radiomics features were extracted from each MRI sequence with a manual lesion segmentation method. After feature dimension reduction by the recursive feature elimination method and dataset balance by the synthetic minority oversampling technique, linear support vector machine classifier models were built to distinguish high RS (RS ≥ 26) from low RS (RS < 26) from T2WI, DWI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, DCE and their combination (multiparametric). A model based on clinical characteristics and a fusion model combining clinical characteristics and multiparametric MRI were also built.Statistical TestsReceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and De Long's test with Bonferroni correction were used. A P value <0.01 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of multiparametric radiomics model was 0.92, significantly higher than DCE (0.83), T2WI (0.78), and ADC (0.77) models in the training cohort. The radiomics model also achieved good performance in the validation cohort (AUC = 0.77). The fusion model had significantly higher performance than the clinical model in both the training (AUC = 0.92 and 0.64, respectively) and validation cohorts (AUC = 0.78 and 0.62, respectively).Data ConclusionThe proposed multiparametric MRI‐based radiomics models may have potential to help distinguish ER+/HER2− breast cancer patients' recurrence risk.Evidence Level3.Technical EfficacyStage 2.
Impact of social media usage on job performance and employee retention: Role of knowledge sharing and organizational commitment
Authors: Chauhan Rishab 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe business world is changing at an accelerated rate, and the key driver of this change is technology. Technologies largely dominate social networking and knowledge sharing activities in organizations through social media (SM). As SM is used in organizations for both work‐related and social‐related purposes, understanding its impact on job performance and employee retention is important. Hence, through the lens of organizational commitment theory and by analyzing a sample of 426 IT employees, this study attempted to explore the influence of SM usage on job performance and employee retention through knowledge sharing and organizational commitment. The significant outcomes of this study are as follows: (1) both work‐related and social‐related SM usage positively influence organizational commitment through knowledge sharing; (2) social media usage positively impacts job performance and employee retention by enhancing employee knowledge sharing capability and organizational commitment. Implications of this study provide meaningful insights for both academics and practitioners.

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundRetinoic acid is an active derivative of vitamin A and regulates the differentiation, proliferation, and antimicrobial peptide expression profiles of human cells. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of systemic retinoic acid use on serum, saliva, and gingival tissue levels of human β‐defensin (hBD)‐1, hBD‐2, and hBD‐3.MethodsA total of 69 participants (34 systemic retinoic acid users and 35 healthy controls) were enrolled in this study. Plaque index, probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment loss were measured. Saliva and serum hBD‐1, hBD‐2, and hBD‐3 levels were quantified by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Gingival tissue hBD‐1, hBD‐2, and hBD‐3 levels were determined by immunohistochemistry. A univariate general linear model was used in adjusted comparisons of hBD1, hBD‐2, and hBD‐3. P values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultsReduced salivary levels of hBD‐2 (P = 0.042), but not hBD‐1 or hBD‐3, were detected in systemic retinoic acid users compared to non‐user controls. There was a significant difference in the adjusted (for BOP%) salivary hBD‐2 concentrations between retinoic acid and control groups (P = 0.031). No difference was observed in serum or tissue levels of hBD‐1, hBD‐2, or hBD‐3 between the two study groups.ConclusionSystemic retinoic acid use was associated with suppressed salivary hBD‐2 level, which was independent of gingival inflammation.
Upcycling soy processing waste (okara) into structured emulsions for fat replacement in sweet bread
Authors: Plazzotta Stella , Nicoli Maria Cristina , Manzocco Lara 
Published: November 2022

AbstractBACKGROUNDOkara is the main waste of soy processing and represents a large economic and environmental burden. Nevertheless, the fibre and protein content of okara supports the upcycling of this critical waste. This study aimed at assessing the potentialities of okara as an innovative oil‐structuring ingredient.RESULTSStructured emulsions containing up to 520 g oil kg−1 and having oil holding capacity higher than 75% were prepared by high‐shear mixing of okara with liquid oil. Microstructural analysis showed that the oil phase was evenly distributed in the okara matrix, probably due to the emulsification ability of the okara fibre–protein network. The performance of okara structured emulsions as palm margarine replacer were tested in the preparation of sweet bread. Okara emulsions (500 g oil kg−1) resulted not only in a significant reduction of saturated fatty acids (>50%), but also in an increased protein and fibre content. Compared to the use of liquid oil solely, okara emulsions allowed reducing the oil released from bread loaf. Bread containing okara emulsion also presented physical and sensory properties similar to those of palm margarine bread, the only exception being a more perceivable oiliness and rancid defect, which are, however, easily preventable by applying appropriate formulation strategies.CONCLUSIONThe use of okara as innovative ingredient for oil structuring would answer the current demand for sustainable heathy diets, based on clean‐label foods with low‐saturated fat content, and increased protein and fibre supply. This approach would also allow the complete upcycling of this critical waste. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

AbstractCalanus finmarchicus were reared from eggs to adults at 12°C and 16°C with non‐limiting food in combination with ambient (600 μatm) and high (1100 μatm) pCO2. These conditions are likely to be encountered by the species at the southern margins of its biogeographical range by the end of the century. Dry weight (DW), carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) mass, oil‐sac volume (OSV), fatty acid composition (FA), and oxygen consumption rates (OCR) were measured on newly molted stage CV copepodites and recently molted adult females. By focusing our measurements on these precise events in the life cycle, we were able to obtain a more accurate comparison of growth and respiration across treatments. Copepods raised at 12°C had a significantly greater DW, OSV, and C and N mass than those raised at 16°C High pCO2, independent of temperature, was associated with a further increase in the DW and C content of the copepods. Interactive effects of temperature and pCO2 resulted in a larger OSV at low temperature and high pCO2. Mass‐specific respiration rates were significantly lower at lower temperatures and elevated pCO2 suggesting that the increase in mass (DW, C, and OSV) resulted from reduced metabolic cost. The composition of fatty acids in the copepods varied mainly with temperature. Two fatty acids varied with pCO2: 16:0 tended to decrease with higher pCO2 and 18:3n−3 tended to increase with higher pCO2. These observations suggest that elevated pCO2/lower pH in future oceans may have a beneficial effect on C. finmarchicus.

Authors: Liu Xuehui , Sui Yongqiang , Zhang Huixia , Tong Hongtao , Song Hongqing 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this work, the corrosion behavior of high‐strength low alloy (HSLA) steel welded joints in natural seawater solution was investigated by electrochemical and immersion tests. The experimental results prove that the corrosion resistance of the weld metal (WM) was higher than that of the base metal (BM). The scanning Kelvin probe results show that the potential distribution of the BM zone is lower than the heat‐affected zone (HAZ) and WM zone. The scanning vibrating electrode technique results demonstrate that the initial attack for the HSLA welded joint majorly took place in the BM zone after immersion in natural seawater. The corrosion morphology of the HSLA welded joint after immersion was observed by scanning electron microscope. The corrosion morphology of BM and HAZ regions tends to be uniform corrosion, whereas it is mainly pitting corrosion for the WM zone.
Pitting corrosion behavior and mechanism of 5083 aluminum alloy based on dry‐wet cycle exposure

Published: November 2022

AbstractElectrochemical and surface analysis methods were used to investigate the pitting susceptibility and propagation of as‐received and dry‐wet cycle exposed 5083 aluminum alloy (AA5083) specimens. We find that dry‐wet cycle exposure can reduce the corrosion potential, while increasing the corrosion current density, pitting potential (Ep), and passivation range. The pitting corrosion behavior during the dry‐wet cycle process depends on the exposure temperature and time. Increased exposure temperature and time result in reduced pitting percentage and corrosion altitude and decreased microhardness of the corrosion products, which promotes the pitting sensitivity of AA5083. The underlying pitting mechanism is proposed by employing the morphology and microstructures of the corrosion products.
Newton's method for stochastic semilinear wave equations driven by multiplicative time‐space noise
Authors: Leszczyński Henryk , Wrzosek Monika 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSemilinear wave equations with additive or one‐dimensional noise are treatable by various iterative and numerical methods. We study more difficult models of semilinear wave equations with infinite dimensional multiplicative spatially correlated noise. Our proof of probabilistic second‐order convergence of some iterative methods is based on Da Prato and Zabczyk's maximal inequalities.

PurposeIntroduce Shimming Toolbox (
https://shimming‐toolbox.org), an open‐source software package for prototyping new methods and performing static, dynamic, and real‐time B0 shimming as well as B1 shimming experiments.Methods
Shimming Toolbox features various field mapping techniques, manual and automatic masking for the brain and spinal cord, B0 and B1 shimming capabilities accessible through a user‐friendly graphical user interface. Validation of Shimming Toolbox was demonstrated in three scenarios: (i) B0 dynamic shimming in the brain at 7T using custom AC/DC coils, (ii) B0 real‐time shimming in the spinal cord at 3T, and (iii) B1 static shimming in the spinal cord at 7T.ResultsThe B0 dynamic shimming of the brain at 7T took about 10 min to perform. It showed a 47% reduction in the standard deviation of the B0 field, associated with noticeable improvements in geometric distortions in EPI images. Real‐time dynamic xyz‐shimming in the spinal cord took about 5 min and showed a 30% reduction in the standard deviation of the signal distribution. B1 static shimming experiments in the spinal cord took about 10 min to perform and showed a 40% reduction in the coefficient of variation of the B1 field.Conclusion
Shimming Toolbox provides an open‐source platform where researchers can collaborate, prototype and conveniently test B0 and B1 shimming experiments. Future versions will include additional field map preprocessing techniques, optimization algorithms, and compatibility across multiple MRI manufacturers.
Efficacy and safety of intravenous iron sucrose in children younger than 2 years with intestinal failure
Authors: Lepus Chelsea A. , Samela Kate , Mokha Jasmeet S. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIron‐deficiency anemia (IDA) is highly prevalent in children with intestinal failure (IF) and oral iron supplementation is often ineffective in this patient population. Even though various intravenous (IV) iron formulations are available, there is a dearth of data on the use of newer parenteral iron products such as IV iron sucrose, especially in infants and young children (<2 years of age) with IF. To determine safety and efficacy, we performed a retrospective chart review on infants and children younger than 2 years with IF who received IV iron sucrose for IDA between October 2019 and August 2021. The review revealed that 10 events of IV iron sucrose replacement were administered to five children aged 4–22 months with IF and IDA. We observed a mean increase in hemoglobin of 1.9 ± 0.6 g/dl, and peak hemoglobin levels were seen at 4.3 ± 0.8 weeks after the IV iron sucrose dose. The infusions were well tolerated, and no short‐term adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities were observed. Based on these observations, the use of IV iron sucrose appears to be safe and effective in infants and young children with IF and could be considered in the management of IDA in this patient population.
