Authors: Silverman Alexandra L. , Fua Karl Cheng‐Heng , Teachman Bethany A. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectivesThis study developed and pilot‐tested an adaptation of Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) to target two aspects of relational flexibility in couples: the ability to generate alternative perspectives, and the ability to respond nondefensively when alternative partner perspectives are raised within challenging relationship situations (referred to as flexibility in partner perspectives).MethodsCBM‐FlexC training materials were developed in Phase 1, and expert users (N = 4) and end‐point users (N = 7) provided qualitative feedback. Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of CBM‐FlexC were evaluated in Phase 2, using an online sample of distressed couples (N = 18). Using a multiple baseline design, participants completed three baseline assessments, six CBM‐FlexC sessions over 2 weeks, and a 1‐month follow‐up.ResultsCBM‐FlexC training resulted in greater flexibility in partner perspectives, relationship satisfaction, and general psychological flexibility compared to baseline, and improvements were maintained 1‐month after training when using mixed‐effects models. However, analyses of reliable change (based on graphical inspection and the Reliable Change Index) indicated that most participants did not experience reliable improvement in flexibility in partner perspectives, or relationship satisfaction.ConclusionThis pilot study provides some positive signals regarding the potential efficacy of CBM‐FlexC, while pointing to the need for further development to strengthen its effects.
Witnessing racism against racial minority individuals online and loneliness among White emerging adults: Anti‐racism advocacy as a moderator

Published: September 2022

AbstractExtant literature suggests that racism is associated with difficult emotional reactions and feelings of social disconnect among White individuals. These feelings of social disconnect may be particularly salient in today's digital era in which racism against racial minority individuals is conveniently and frequently witnessed via online platforms. Thus, we examined whether witnessing racism online may be associated with feelings of loneliness among White emerging adults. We also tested whether anti‐racism advocacy buffered loneliness given its potential for relationship building and community organizing to promote racial justice and equity. Using data from 227 White emerging adults (Mage = 20.86, SD = 4.82), we conducted a latent moderated structural equation modeling to test individual and institutional anti‐racism advocacy as moderators in the link between witnessing racism online (racial victimization of racial minority individuals in online interactions and online content on cultural devaluation/systemic racism against racial minority individuals) and loneliness. Greater exposure to online content on systemic racism and cultural devaluation of racial minority groups significantly predicted greater loneliness. Engagement in individual anti‐racism advocacy (mean to high levels) buffered this link. White allies must engage in anti‐racism practice to address racism in our society, and our findings advance our understanding of the associated psychosocial costs. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThyroid nodule is a common and frequently occurring disease in the neck in recent years, and ultrasound has become the preferred imaging diagnosis method for thyroid nodule due to its advantages of noninvasive, nonradiation, real‐time, and repeatable. The thyroid imaging, reporting and data system (TI‐RADS) classification standard scores suspicious nodules that are difficult to determine benign and malignant as grade 4, and further pathological puncture is recommended clinically, which may lead to a large number of unnecessary biopsies and operations. Including conventional ultrasound, ACR TI‐RADS, shear wave elastography, super microvascular imaging, contrast enhanced ultrasound, “firefly,” artificial intelligence, and multimodal ultrasound imaging used in combination. In order to identify the most clinically significant malignant tumors when reducing invasive operations. This article reviews the application and research progress of multimodal ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of TI‐RADS 4 thyroid nodules.
Morphometric analysis of the elasmobranch olfactory rosette
Authors: Clark Aubrey , Porter Marianne , Meredith Tricia 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe olfactory rosettes of elasmobranchs vary in shape and structure among species, but the functional consequences of this diversity are unresolved. Our goal was to quantify rosette morphology on dissected as well as diffusible iodine‐based contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (diceCT)‐imaged specimens to analyze the drivers of observed trends in a phylogenetic context and compare the methodologies. We hypothesized that lamellar count and rosette shape (fineness ratio) would not scale with animal size, but other rosette size variables would scale positively. We dissected rosettes from 14 elasmobranch species and collected morphometric data (fineness ratio, lamellar count, interlamellar distance, lamellar thickness, and raphe width). A subset of rosettes (five species) was used to analyze the effects of body size, while all 14 species were used for a phylogenetic principal component analysis (pPCA). We found that fineness ratio and lamellar counts varied significantly among species, and were positively correlated. The first two principal components of the pPCA explained 82% of the variation, with fineness ratio and lamellar count contributing most to the loadings, respectively. DiceCT was used for in situ imaging of four species of Carcharhiniformes. There were no significant differences between rosette structure or volume when comparing values from dissected specimens to values from in situ specimens obtained using diceCT. We also quantified the volume of the excurrent channel in the olfactory capsule. These data add to our understanding of how olfactory organ shape varies among species and can be used to create three‐dimensional models for future olfactory hydrodynamic studies.
The Vitruvian spider: Segmenting and integrating over different body parts to describe ecophenotypic variation

Published: September 2022

AbstractUnderstanding what drives the existing phenotypic variability has been a major topic of interest for biologists for generations. However, the study of the phenotype may not be straightforward. Indeed, organisms may be interpreted as composite objects, comprising different ecophenotypic traits, which are neither necessarily independent from each other nor do they respond to the same evolutionary pressures. For this reason, a deep biological understanding of the focal organism is essential for any morphological analysis. The spider genus Dysdera provides a particularly well‐suited system for setting up protocols for morphological analyses that encompass a suit of morphological structures in any nonmodel system. This genus has undergone a remarkable diversification in the Canary Islands, where different species perform different ecological roles, exhibiting different levels of trophic specialization or troglomorphic adaptations, which translate into a remarkable interspecific morphological variability. Here, we seek to develop a broad guide, of which morphological characters must be considered, to study the effect of different ecological pressures in spiders and propose a general workflow that will be useful whenever researchers set out to investigate variation in the body plans of different organisms, with data sets comprising a set of morphological traits. We use geometric morphometric methods to quantify variation in different body structures, all of them with diverse phenotypic modifications in their chelicera, prosoma, and legs. We explore the effect of analyzing different combined landmark (LM) configurations of these characters and the degree of morphological integration that they exhibit. Our results suggest that different LM configurations of each of these body parts exhibit a higher degree of integration compared to LM configurations from different structures and that the analysis of each of these body parts captures different aspects of morphological variation, potentially related to different ecological factors.

BackgroundMetastatic lymph nodal number (LNN) is associated with the survival of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC); however, counting multiple nodes is cumbersome.PurposeTo explore LNN threshold and evaluate its use in risk stratification and induction chemotherapy (IC) indication.Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationA total of 792 radiotherapy‐treated NPC patients (N classification: N0 182, N1 438, N2 113, N3 59; training group: 396, validation group: 396; receiving IC: 390).Field Strength/SequenceT1‐, T2‐ and postcontrast T1‐weighted fast spin echo MRI at 1.5 or 3.0 T.AssessmentNomogram with (model B) or without (model A) LNN was constructed to evaluate the 5‐year overall (OS), distant metastasis‐free (DMFS), and progression‐free survival (PFS) for the group as a whole and N1 stage subgroup. High‐ and low‐risk groups were divided (above vs below LNN‐ or model B‐threshold); their response to IC was evaluated among advanced patients in stage III/IV.Statistical TestsMaximally selected rank, univariate and multivariable Cox analysis identified the optimal LNN threshold and other variables. Harrell's concordance index (C‐index) and 2‐fold cross‐validation evaluated discriminative ability of models. Matched‐pair analysis compared survival outcomes of adding IC or not. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsMedian follow‐up duration was 62.1 months. LNN ≥ 4 was independently associated with decreased 5‐year DMFS, OS, and PFS in entire patients or N1 subgroup. Compared to model A, model B (adding LNN, LNN ≥ 4 vs <4) presented superior C‐indexes in the training (0.755 vs 0.727) and validation groups (0.676 vs 0.642) for discriminating DMFS. High‐risk patients benefited from IC with improved post‐IC response and OS, but low‐risk patients did not (P = 0.785 and 0.690, respectively).ConclusionsLNN ≥ 4 is an independent risk stratification factor of worse survival in entire or N1 staging NPC patients. LNN ≥ 4 or the associated nomogram has potential to identify high‐risk patients requiring IC.Evidence Level4Technical Efficacy4

AbstractBackgroundUnder‐sensing (US) in implantable loop recorders (ILRs) interferes with the accurate diagnosis of arrhythmia, but there is little information available on the details of US of ILRs. The aim of this study was to clarify the frequency of US in patients with ILRs and to investigate the predictors of US in ILRs prior to implantation.Methods and ResultsWe studied 46 consecutive patients implanted ILR. During the mean follow‐up period of 499 ± 363 days, 15 events of US were observed in five patients. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between patients with and without US. In standard 12‐lead electrocardiogram (ECG), QRS complex amplitude in anterolateral chest leads (V2 to V5) were significantly lower in patients with than without US (V2: 0.88 [0.66, 1.22] mV vs. 1.67 [1.23, 2.29] mV, p = .010 V3: 1.25 [1.00, 1.26] mV vs. 1.90 [1.41, 2.29] mV, p = .013; V4: 1.14 [0.96, 1.38] mV vs. 1.93 [1.65, 2.64] mV, p = .023; V5: 0.57 [0.50, 0.75] mV vs. 1.60 [1.20, 1.98] mV, p = .011, respectively). ROC curve analysis showed that cut‐off values of 1.30 mV of QRS complex amplitude in V2, 1.26 mV of that in V3, and 0.75 mV of that in V5 had moderate accuracy for predicting US (V2: sensitivity 68%, specificity 100%, area under the curve [AUC] 0.86; V3: sensitivity 85%, specificity 80%, AUC 0.85; V5: sensitivity 98%, specificity 80%, AUC 0.85, respectively).ConclusionsUS was observed in 10.9% patients with an ILR. QRS complex amplitude in anterolateral chest leads (V2 to V5) on ECG might be useful for predicting US in patients with ILRs.

AbstractBackgroundThe feasibility of remote perioperative telemonitoring of patient‐generated physiologic health data and patient‐reported outcomes in a high risk complex general and urologic oncology surgery population is evaluated.MethodsComplex general surgical/urologic oncology patients wore a pedometer, completed ePROs (electronic patient‐reported outcome surveys) and record their vitals (weight, pulse, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and temperature) via a telehealth app platform. Feasibility (% adherence) was assessed as the primary outcome measure.ResultsTwenty‐one patients with a median age 58 (32−82) years were included. The readmission rate was 33% and the incidence of ≥Grade 3a morbidity was 24%. Adherence to vital sign and ePRO measurements was 95% before surgery, 91% at discharge, and 82%, 68%, and 64% at postdischarge d2, 7, 14, and 30, respectively. There was significant worsening of mobility, self‐care and usual daily activity at postdischarge d2 compared to preoperative baseline (p < 0.05). Median daily preoperative steps taken by patients with <Grade 3a versus ≥Grade 3a postoperative morbidity was 6062 versus 4166 (p < 0.05). Of those interviewed, 87% (13/15) viewed vital sign devices as helpful in recovery.ConclusionsTelemonitoring is feasible in a general surgical and urologic oncology setting. Future studies will ascertain optimal patient selection, duration, and extent of perioperative monitoring.

AbstractAs a successor to the light‐emitting‐diode (LED), the laser diode (LD) forecasts a brighter future for energy‐saving solid‐state lighting (SSL). Aiming for high‐performance white LD, herein, a brand‐new material form for Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) garnet, that is, the integrated composite of YAG:Ce phosphor‐in‐silica glass ceramic/phosphor‐in‐silica ceramic (PiSGC/PiSC) film‐on‐sapphire plate (SP), following an “amorphous → polycrystalline” phase transformation mechanism, is developed. Remarkably, nearly full crystallization from glass in a controllable manner can be achieved. The in situ precipitated SiO2 microcrystals with high thermal conductivity (TC) favor to build efficient local heat dissipation network inside this opto‐functional composite, and therefore, substantially increase luminescence saturation threshold and luminous brightness under blue LD irradiation. Upon material optimization, bright and directional white light is generated with luminous flux (LF) of 1350 lm@10.5 W mm−2, correlated color temperature (CCT) of 7916 K, and color rendering index (CRI) of 69.3, enabling the application in high‐brightness long‐distance illumination scenarios. This smart material design highlights the combined merits of admirable luminescent properties from YAG:Ce@SiO2 ceramic, ultrahigh TC from sapphire single crystal, as well as, low cost, facile preparation, scalable manufacturing inherited from glass.

Published: September 2022

AbstractData mining was introduced and 178 sets of alternating current (AC) corrosion data were collected from published data and our research group. The AC current density (JAC), direct current (DC), current density (JDC), the ratio of AC/DC current density (JAC/JDC), and cathodic protection potential (IR‐free potential, EIR‐free) were defined as the input feature and the priority of feature subset was ranked as (JAC, JDC) > (JDC, JAC/JDC) > (JAC, EIR‐free) >JAC > (JAC/JDC, EIR‐free) > JAC/JDC. Then, based on the different feature subsets, the AC corrosion rate model was established by the random forest algorithm, and the generalization ability of the model was verified on the test data respectively. Finally, the mapping relationship between AC, DC parameters, and corrosion rates was presented and the limiting values of (JAC, JDC) and (JDC, JAC/JDC) were given.
How companies use typeface design to engage consumers in charitable activities
Authors: Chu Xing‐Yu (Marcos) , Tok Dickson , Zhou Xiaoyu , Chen Xi 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis research examines how the typeface design in a charitable appeal affects consumers' evaluations of the ad and, in turn, their willingness to engage in the advertised charitable activities. We propose that the typeface's simulation of a handwritten note creates a sense of connectedness to the information sender (e.g., organization, brand), which subsequently increases consumers' willingness to engage in the advertised charitable activities. Six experiments, including laboratory and field studies, provide support for the typeface effect and further support the underlying process by (1) directly examining connectedness, and (2) manipulating brand attachment, showing that a handwritten typeface creates a more positive effect when the viewer is not strongly connected to the brand (vs. having a strong brand attachment). Our findings provide useful guidelines for brand managers, social marketers and charity fundraisers regarding how and when to use a handwritten typeface design.
Machine Learning to Predict Homolytic Dissociation Energies of C−H Bonds: Calibration of DFT‐based Models with Experimental Data
Authors: Li Wanli , Luan Yue , Zhang Qingyou , Aires‐de‐Sousa Joao 
Published: September 2022

AbstractRandom Forest (RF) QSPR models were developed with a data set of homolytic bond dissociation energies (BDE) previously calculated by B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p)//DFTB for 2263 sp3C−H covalent bonds. The best set of attributes consisted in 114 descriptors of the carbon atom (counts of atom types in 5 spheres around the kernel atom and ring descriptors). The optimized model predicted the DFT‐calculated BDE of an independent test set of 224 bonds with MAE=2.86 kcal/mol. A new data set of 409 bonds from the iBonD database (http://ibond.nankai.edu.cn) was predicted by the RF with a modest MAE (5.36 kcal/mol) but a relatively high R2 (0.75) against experimental energies. A prediction scheme was explored that corrects the RF prediction with the average deviation observed for the k nearest neighbours (KNN) in an additional memory of experimental data. The corrected predictions achieved MAE=2.22 kcal/mol for an independent test set of 145 bonds and the corresponding experimental bond energies.
Formation of diffraction gratings in optically patternable hydrogel films

Published: September 2022

AbstractLocal light‐induced material response forms the basis for volume holographic patterning of light‐responsive materials. This enables applications as multifunctional biomedical materials capable of integrating optical functions, such as for advanced intraocular lens (IOL) implants. Therefore, hydrogel films based on 8‐arm PEG and azobenzene‐functionalized acrylates are prepared. A local change in optical properties is induced by UV exposure: a decrease in refractive index is detected by ellipsometric examination. One‐dimensional diffractive surface gratings, generated using a photomask, show optical functionality and are visualized in the atomic force microscope. The results show that a local change in optical properties can be induced in functionalized hydrogel films by photochemical crosslinking, making them suitable for volume holographic patterning.
pH‐responsive amine‐based fluorescent polymers with on–off switchable and concentration‐dependent fluorescence behaviors

Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this paper, pH‐responsive fluorescent poly(amino ether ester)s with reversible “on–off” switching fluorescence and concentration‐dependent emission behavior were reported. A remarkable difference fluorescence behavior was observed at diverse polymer concentrations with pH values. Moreover, at all investigated concentrations, poly(amino ether ester)s can respond to acid pH and exhibit extreme acid‐induced fluorescence quenching phenomenon. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy analyses confirmed that the fluorescence quenching phenomenon is due to the aggregation, which was caused by the protonation of tertiary amine groups in poly(amino ether ester)s under extreme acidic conditions. Interestingly, the quenched fluorescence can be completely recovered by adding an alkaline solution, thereby enabling an “on–off” switch function by adjusting the pH value. Most importantly, the pH‐responsive fluorescent poly(amino ether ester)s exhibit good biocompatibility and cellular imaging, and its cellular imaging function is highly sensitive to acid pH. Thus, this study opens a new idea for the preparation of amine‐based fluorescent polymers as stimuli‐responsive fluorescent probe for cellular imaging, drug delivery, and disease diagnostics.
Sound anomalies of Cornell Swift recorders affect ecoacoustic studies, and a workaround solution
Authors: Marcot Bruce G. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Swift Terrestrial Passive Acoustic Recording Unit from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, running firmware v. STM32 0.18.6.3, produced an initial 4‐sec sound anomaly in each sound (wave file) recording, created by the power‐saving features of the unit as it switches from standby to record mode. The sound anomaly had a statistically significant impact on several soundscape indices calculated from the recordings. Here, as a case study of identifying and solving this problem, I dissected the nature of the anomaly and analyzed the variable effects it has on calculated ecoacoustic soundscape indices. I used a sample of 150, 10‐min sound files, recorded during my ecoacoustics study in central boreal Alaska during 2019 (June‐August) and 2020 (April‐September), stratified by several landscape conditions and by types of sounds representing anthrophony, biophony, and geophony conditions. The sound anomaly statistically significantly biased the calculations of 7 of 13 ecoacoustic indices analyzed from all of these landscape and soundscape conditions. There is no simple correction factor that can be applied to the calculated index values to account for the effects of the anomaly. I suggest several workarounds, notably to automate a procedure to delete a specified segment of each sound file to eliminate the anomaly prior to soundscape analysis, and in general to watch and correct for such anomalies when using Autonomous Recording Units recordings in ecoacoustic analyses.
