A 576 m long creep and shrinkage specimen – Long‐term deformation of a semi‐integral concrete bridge with a massive solid cross‐section
Authors: Herbers Max , Wenner Marc , Marx Steffen 
Published: October 2022

AbstractFor creep and shrinkage investigations, relatively small cylindrical specimens are generally exposed to constant climatic conditions. The derived mainly empirical prediction models are used for the calculation of large engineering structures with massive cross‐sections. In this paper, the expected values of the material models according to fib Model Code 2010 and Eurocode 2 are compared with monitoring data, which were acquired over a period of more than 12 years during a structural health monitoring of a large viaduct. It was found that in addition to the measured continuous increase in the viscous deformations, seasonal fluctuations due to climatic influences could also be detected. The numerical calculations show that the material models differ significantly in their magnitude and time course of the predicted viscous concrete deformations. In comparison with the monitoring data, a good agreement was achieved when using the material models according to Eurocode 2. The models of the fib Model Code 2010, on the other hand, underestimated the deformations of the massive bridge girder.

Published: October 2022

AbstractPhosphate‐loaded industrial wastewaters have resulted in numerous environmental issues that have hard hit the Gulf of Gabes‐Tunisia, making the environmental protection one of the most compelling priorities. Consequently, this study aimed first to compare the amounts of phosphate adsorbed by two types of Tunisian activated clays. The second goal was to assess and optimize the phosphate removal efficiency of these clays, using Box–Behnken design (BBD) under response surface methodology. Results showed that the highest adsorption amounts of 130.16 mg g−1, 125.42 mg g−1 were yielded for Jebel Haidoudi clay and Douiret clay, respectively. These values demanded an initial phosphate concentration of 300 mg L−1, a contact time of 5 h, and a pH of 2). Thus, kinetic and isotherm studies of phosphate elimination from synthetic solutions demonstrated that for both activated clays, the pseudo‐second‐order and Langmuir equation fitted very well the experimental data, respectively. These results indicate that phosphate adsorption might be mainly a chimisorption phenomenon and a monolayer process. All these findings confirmed that both activated clays could be considered as a competent, cost‐effective, efficient and ecological alternative for the elimination of phosphate from industrial wastewaters.Practitioner Points
Activated clay could be adopted as an efficient and cost‐effective adsorbent.
The optimum conditions were nominated as 300 mg L−1 of initial phosphate concentration, 5 h contact times and pH = 2.
The probable uptake mechanism of phosphate followed predominantly the acid‐base interaction and hydrogen bond.
Medical Additive Manufacturing in Surgery: Translating Innovation to the Point of Care
Authors: Thieringer Florian M. , Honigmann Philipp , Sharma Neha 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAlongside computed tomography, additive manufacturing (also known as three-dimensional or 3D printing) is a significant MedTech innovation that allows the fabrication of anatomical biomodels, surgical guides, medical/dental devices, and customized implants. Available since the mid-1980s, 3D printing is growing increasingly important in medicine by significantly transforming today’s personalized medicine era. 3D printing of biological tissues will provide a future for many patients, eventually leading to the printing of human organs. Unlike subtractive manufacturing (where the material is removed and 3D objects are formed by cutting, drilling, computer numerical control milling, and machining), the critical driver for the exponential growth of 3D printing in medicine has been the ability to create complex geometric shapes with a high degree of functionality. 3D printing also offers the advantage of developing highly customized solutions for patients that cannot be achieved by any other manufacturing technology.
On the polarization of the non-prompt contribution to inclusive J/ψ production in pp collisions
Authors: Faccioli Pietro , Lourenço Carlos 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Of the J/ψ mesons (inclusively) produced in pp collisions, a big fraction results from B decays, increasing with transverse momentum and exceeding 50% for pT> 20 GeV. These events must be subtracted in measurements of the polarization of prompt J/ψ mesons. While several studies have addressed the ψ(2S) and χc impact on the determination of the polarization of the directly-produced J/ψ mesons, the theoretical and experimental knowledge of the non-prompt polarization is very poor. Furthermore, non-prompt J/ψ polarization measurements can provide interesting information on quarkonium hadroproduction, complementing the studies of prompt production. We review the method of measuring the polarization of non-prompt J/ψ mesons (produced in decays of unreconstructed B mesons and detected in the dilepton channel), in conditions typical of LHC experiments studying J/ψ production. Realistic model-independent scenarios are validated with data from experiments studying e+e− → Υ(4S) interactions, converted to the high-momentum regime using B differential cross sections measured at the LHC. The non-prompt J/ψ polarization measurements are seen to remain dependent on the event selection criteria, even after correcting for the dilepton acceptance and efficiencies. This implies that reproducible definitions of all relevant analysis choices must be reported with the polarization result, for rigorous comparisons with other measurements and/or theoretical calculations. We also discuss how the non-prompt J/ψ polarization significantly depends on the relative importance of two complementary B → J/ψ decay topologies, two-body (reasonably dominated by singlet production) and multi-body (including octet contributions), providing, hence, valuable information for studies of the charmonium formation mechanisms.
Massless fermions on a half-space: the curious case of 2+1-dimensions
Authors: Biswas Shovon , Semenoff Gordon W. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Boundary conditions for a massless Dirac fermion in 2+1 dimensions where the space is a half-plane are discussed in detail. It is argued that linear boundary conditions that leave the Hamiltonian Hermitian generically break C P and T symmetries as well as Lorentz and conformal symmetry. We show that there is essentially one special case where a single species of fermion has C PT and the full Poincare and conformal symmetry of the boundary. We show that, with doubled fermions, there is a second special case which respects C PT but still violates Lorentz and conformal symmetry. This second special case is essentially the unique boundary condition where the Dirac operator has fermion zero mode edge states. We discuss how the edge states lead to exotic representations of scale, phase and translation symmetries and how imposing a symmetry requirement leads to edge ferromagnetism of the system. We prove that the exotic ferromagnetic representations are indeed carried by the ground states of the system perturbed by a class of interaction Hamiltonians which includes the non-relativistic Coulomb interaction.
Quasinormal modes and stability of accelerating Reissner-Norsdtröm AdS black holes
Authors: Fontana Rodrigo D.B. , Mena Filipe C. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We investigate the numerical stability of accelerating AdS black holes against linear scalar perturbations. In particular, we study the evolution of a probe non-minimally coupled scalar field on Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström AdS black holes with small accelerations by computing the quasinormal modes of the perturbation spectrum. We decompose the scalar field Klein-Gordon equation and study the eigenvalue problem for its angular and radial-temporal parts using different numerical methods. The angular part is written in terms of the Heun solution and expanded through the Frobenius method which turns out to give eigenvalues qualitatively similar to the ones obtained through the spherical harmonics representation. The radial-temporal evolution renders a stable field profile which is decomposed in terms of damped and purely imaginary oscillations of the quasinormal modes. We calculate the respective frequencies for different spacetime parameters showing the existence of a fine-structure in the modes, for both real and imaginary parts, which is not present in the non-accelerating AdS black holes. Our results indicate that the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström AdS black holes with small accelerations are stable against linear scalar perturbations.
Brane dynamics of holographic BCFTs

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper we study various dynamical aspects of the AdS/BCFT correspondence in higher dimensions. We study properties of holographic stress energy tensor by analyzing the metric perturbation in the gravity dual. We also calculate the stress energy tensor for a locally excited state on a half plane in a free scalar CFT. Both of them satisfy a reflective boundary condition that is expected for any BCFTs. We also study the behavior of the scalar field perturbation in the AdS/BCFT setup and show that they also show complete reflections. Moreover, we find that the entanglement entropy of a BCFT computed from the AdS/BCFT matched with that calculated from the Island formula, which supports the Island/BCFT correspondence in higher dimensions. Finally we show how we can calculate one point functions in a BCFT in our gravity dual.
Good clinical and radiological results following remnant-preserving posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review
Authors: D’Ambrosi Riccardo , Hallé Aurélien , Hardy Alexandre 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The objective of this systematic literature review was to report the results and complications of recent remnant preservation techniques in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction.

Methods
A systematic review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Two independent reviewers searched the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases using the terms “posterior cruciate ligament” or “PCL” and “remnant preserving.” The outcome measures extracted from the studies were the Lysholm score, the International Knee Documentation Committee’s (IKDC) subjective and objective scores, Tegner scores, Orthopädische Arbeitsgruppe Knie (OAK) rate of return to sports, and rate of complications. Data were also extracted from studies that used stress radiographs to perform a quantitative assessment of the preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior stability.

Results
The systematic review included 13 studies. The patient cohort of consisted of 643 participants (544 [84.6%] men and 99 [15.4%] women) with a mean age of 32.9 ± 4.0 years. The mean postoperative follow-up was 34.5 ± 10.9 months (range: 24–96 months), while the mean time from injury to surgery was 14.4 ± 9.9 months (range: 0–240 months). All studies reported clinically significant improvement at final follow-up, as evident from the measured subjective and objective IKDC scores, Lysholm score, Tegner score, and OAK rate. Only three studies reported return to sports activity, with a mean percentage of 90.8% (99/109). All studies showed a significant improvement in posterior translation, from 11.5 ± 1.2 mm to 3.3 ± 1.1 mm, using radiography (side-to-side difference). This systematic review revealed 13 (2.0%) failures and 33 (5.1%) minor complications: 10 (1.6%) cases of stiffness, 21 (4.9%) screws removal, 1 (0.2%) injury of the peroneal nerve, and 1 (0.2%) fibular fracture.

Conclusions
With the currently available data, all studies included in the review on posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with remnant preservation demonstrated satisfactory outcomes at mid-term follow-up (> 24 months), despite varying surgical techniques and graft types, and intervals from injury to surgery. For clinical relevance, standard PCL reconstruction is a highly effective operation in terms of improvement in functional status, knee stability, quality of life, and cost effectiveness. The remnant preservation technique requires more comprehensive diagnostic assessments of the PCL remnant patterns and more complicated surgical procedures. Given the absence so far of high quality studies with long-term follow-up, the remnant-preserving techniques should be recommended only by experienced knee arthroscopic surgeons.

Neuroimaging features of genetic syndromes associated with CNS overgrowth
Authors: Zamary Anthony R. , Mamlouk Mark D. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractOvergrowth syndromes can manifest with enlargement of the brain and other body parts and are associated with malignancy. Much of the current literature focuses on the imaging findings of the somatic overgrowth, while there is relatively little describing the overgrowth of the central nervous system. In this pictorial essay, we discuss common syndromes with central nervous system overgrowth, highlight key imaging features, and review the underlying genetics, including the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway as well as other syndromes from various genes.
Using Structured Decision Making to Evaluate Wetland Restoration Opportunities in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Authors: Martin David M. , Jacobs Amy D. , McLean Chase , Canick Michelle R. , Boomer Kathleen 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWetland restoration is an important water quality and climate resilience strategy. Wetland restoration rarely considers tradeoffs at large spatial and temporal scales, which limits capacity to aid decision makers. High resolution data can reveal hundreds to thousands of possible restoration options across a landscape, but guidance for setting restoration targets at these scales is limited. This study uses structured decision making (SDM) as a process for evaluating the desirability of numerous restoration options, with a case study on the Outer Coastal Plain of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, USA. The Nature Conservancy, in partnership with federal, state, and nonprofit organizations, evaluated a decision to target large-scale wetland restoration based on two fundamental objectives: improve water quality and enhance climate resilience. A total of 964 potentially restorable alternatives were delineated across the study area. The alternatives were evaluated on seven water quality and climate resilience criteria. High-priority alternatives were mapped based on multi-criteria ranking methods and principal component analysis. Sensitivity analysis included varying nutrient load data, implementing multiple ranking methods with different assumptions, and varying criteria weights. The maps revealed seven distinct regions of restoration opportunities. Tradeoffs were evaluated to distinguish between desirable and less desirable regions. Results indicated that three regions were promising choices to initiate landowner engagement and outreach. This study highlights the advantages of SDM to structure large-scale restoration decisions. In doing so, our work offers a roadmap toward further developing SDM in future applied restoration contexts.
Finally Throwing Those Wellies Away? Collaborating in Search of a Solution for Venice Flooding

Published: October 2022

AbstractCollaborative governance is often advocated as a way to address ‘messy’ problems that individual stakeholders cannot solve alone. However, whereas stakeholders’ participation brings a broad range of response options to public decision-making, the complexities of the perspectives at stake may also lead to conflicts and stalemates. This is especially true in collaborative environmental governance, where conflict is common and stakeholders’ interdependence in more than one arena tends to be frequent. Based on a longitudinal field study, we explore how to break stalemates in collaborative environmental governance when they occur, and move the collaboration towards a shared decision. The successful collaborative decision-making for the defence of Venice against floods represents our empirical setting. Our findings show that, in this context, the combined effect of three factors seems to be important to break stalemates and lead stakeholders towards a shared decision in collaborative environmental governance: stakeholders’ reactivation, fear of marginalization and leaders acting as orchestrators.
Subtotal Cholecystectomy Results in High Peri‐operative Morbidity and Its Risk‐Profile Should be Emphasised During Consent
Authors: Lucocq James , Hamilton David , Scollay John , Patil Pradeep 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundSubtotal cholecystectomy aims to reduce the likelihood of bile duct injury but risks a multitude of less severe, yet significant complications. The primary aim of the present study was to report peri‐operative outcomes of subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) relative to total laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TLC) to inform the consent process.MethodAll laparoscopic cholecystectomies between 2015 and 2020 in one health board were included. The peri‐operative outcomes of SLC (n = 87) and TLC (n = 2650) were reported. Pre‐operative variables were compared between the two groups to identify risk factors for SLC. The outcomes between the SLC and TLC were compared using univariate, multivariate and propensity analysis.ResultsRisk factors for SLC included higher age, male gender, cholecystitis, increased biliary admissions, ERCP, cholecystostomy and emergency cholecystectomy. Following SLC, rates of post‐operative complication (45.9%), imaging (37.9%) intervention (28.7%) and readmission (29.9%) were significant. The risk profile was vastly heightened compared to that of TLC: intra‐operative complications (RR 9.0; p < 0.001), post‐operative complications [bile leak (RR 58.9; p < 0.001), collection (RR 12.2; p < 0.001), retained stones (RR 7.2; p < 0.001) and pneumonia (RR 5.4; p < 0.001)], post‐operative imaging (RR 4.4; p < 0.001), post‐operative intervention (RR 12.3; p < 0.001), prolonged PLOS (RR 11.3; p < 0.001) and readmission (RR 4.5; p < 0.001). The findings were consistent using multivariate logistic regression and propensity analysis.ConclusionThe relative morbidity associated with SLC is significant and high‐risk patients should be counselled for the peri‐operative morbidity of subtotal cholecystectomy.

AbstractBackgroundPost‐hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is associated with high mortality following liver resection. There have been limited studies evaluating predictors of PHLF and clinically significant PHLF in non‐cirrhotic patients.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (NSQIP) to evaluate 8,093 non‐cirrhotic patients undergoing hepatectomy from 2014 to 2018. Primary endpoints were PHLF and clinically significant PHLF (PHLF grade B or C).ResultsAmong all patients, 4.74% (n = 383) developed PHLF and 2.5% clinically significant PHLF (n = 203). The overall 30‐day mortality was 1.35% (n = 109), 11.5% (n = 44) in patients with PHLF, and 19.2% in those with clinically significant PHLF. Factors associated with PHLF were: metastatic liver disease (OR = 1.84, CI = 1.14–2.98), trisectionectomy (OR = 3.71, CI = 2.59–5.32), right total lobectomy (OR = 4.17, CI = 3.06–5.68), transfusions (OR = 1.99, CI = 1.52–2.62), organ/space SSI (OR = 2.84, CI = 2.02–3.98), post‐operative pneumonia (OR = 2.43, CI = 1.57–3.76), sepsis (OR = 2.27, CI = 1.47–3.51), and septic shock (OR = 5.67, CI = 3.43–9.36). Patients who developed PHLF or clinically significant PHLF had 2–threefold increased risk of perioperative mortality. Post‐hepatectomy renal failure (OR = 8.47, CI = 3.96–18.1), older age (OR = 1.04, CI = 1.014–1.063), male sex (OR = 1.83, CI = 1.07–3.14), sepsis (OR = 2.96, CI = 1.22–7.2), and septic shock (OR = 3.92, CI = 1.61–9.58) were independently associated with 30‐mortality in patients with clinically significant PHLF.ConclusionPHLF in non‐cirrhotic patients increased the risk of perioperative mortality and is associated with the extent of hepatectomy and infectious complications. Careful evaluation of the liver remnant, antibiotic prophylaxis, nutritional assessment, and timely management of post‐operative infections could decrease major morbidity and mortality following hepatectomy.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMagnetooptical properties of one-dimensional aperiodic structures formed by stacking together magnetic and nonmagnetic layers according to the Kolakoski self-generation scheme are studied theoretically using the 4$$\times$$×4 transfer matrix method. The effect of the generation stage of the sequence, and the helicity and direction of light propagation through the magneto-photonic crystals on the transmission/reflection spectra as well as Faraday and ellipticity rotations, have been investigated. Our results reveal that this kind of aperiodic magneto-photonic crystals can be used for the fabrication of multifrequency laser cavities, and optical filters/sensors.
An auditory-responsive interneuron descending from the cricket brain: a new element in the auditory pathway
Authors: Rogers Stephen M. , Kostarakos Konstantinos , Hedwig Berthold 
Published: October 2022

AbstractCrickets receive auditory information from their environment via ears located on the front legs. Ascending interneurons forward auditory activity to the brain, which houses a pattern recognition network for phonotaxis to conspecific calling songs and which controls negative phonotaxis to high-frequency sound pulses. Descending brain neurons, however, which are clearly involved in controlling these behaviors, have not yet been identified. We describe a descending auditory-responsive brain neuron with an arborization pattern that coincides with the ring-like auditory neuropil in the brain formed by the axonal arborizations of ascending and local interneurons, indicating its close link to auditory processing. Spiking activity of this interneuron occurs with a short latency to calling song patterns and the neuron copies the sound pulse pattern. The neuron preferentially responds to short sound pulses, but its activity appears to be independent of the calling song pattern recognition process. It also receives a weaker synaptic input in response to high-frequency pulses, which may contribute to its short latency spiking responses. This interneuron could be a crucial part in the auditory-to-motor transformation of the nervous system and contribute to the motor control of cricket auditory behavior.
