Unified approach for reinforcement development length using the partly cracked elastic stage for bond strength
Authors: Zaborac Jarrod , Bayrak Oguzhan 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCurrent structural design codes in the United States treat the development of straight bars/lap splices, standard hooks, and deformed headed bars with separate equations. The fib Model Code 2010, on the other hand, uses a more unified approach. Recent changes to the standard hook and headed bar equations in the ACI 318–19 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete have sparked conversation about the discrepancies between ACI 318–19 and the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications within the bridge design community. The objective of this research was to develop and validate a unified approach for the design/evaluation of reinforcement anchorage. A procedure based on the partly cracked elastic stage of bond was proposed. The proposed procedure was validated with 1006 tests from the literature.
Instances of intraspecific nest parasitism in eastern and Rio Grande wild turkeys

Published: May 2022

AbstractNest parasitism can play an important role in processes regulating population dynamics of both hosts and parasites. Inter‐ and intra‐specific nest parasitism are 2 alternative reproductive strategies observed to occur in about 1% of all bird species. Recently, low productivity in wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) populations has resulted in population declines across the southeastern United States. Reproductive output may be influenced by nest parasitism, but the extent of nest parasitism and how it may be related to productivity of wild turkey populations are poorly understood. Herein, we illustrate 6 unreported examples of intraspecific nest parasitism obtained using GPS telemetry data from female wild turkeys in Georgia and Louisiana during 2014−2018. Further, we report 3 occurrences of nest parasitism in Texas using photographic evidence. Our findings suggest that ≥6% of nests are potentially parasitized, and that multiple females may visit and parasitize a single nest. Given recent declines in reproductive output of wild turkeys throughout the southeastern United States, we encourage researchers to continue assessing potential for nest parasitism across wild turkey populations and how this potential may be influenced by predator abundance and activity.

AbstractThere are increasing concerns about the effects of disease on wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Yet, many management agencies lack adequate data on wild turkey diseases and pathogens to address this concern. Toward that end, the Pennsylvania Game Commission increased surveillance efforts on wild turkeys beginning in 2013 (referred to hereafter as the enhanced surveillance period). From 2008–2018, 121 wild turkeys from Pennsylvania were submitted for necropsy, with 102/121 (84.3%) submitted during the enhanced surveillance period (2013–2018). We examined cases to determine causes of morbidity/mortality through gross and microscopic examinations and ancillary tests. The most common causes of morbidity/mortality in the examined wild turkeys were avian pox (66/121; 54.5%), chronic dermatitis (15/121; 12.4%), and trauma (10/121; 8.3%). We diagnosed additional diseases for the first time or more frequently during the enhanced surveillance period, including histomoniasis (7/121; 5.7%) and infectious sinusitis (1/121; 0.8%). Skin lesions were the most common cause of submission (94/121; 77.7%) and were most often attributed to avian pox (66/94, 70.2%), chronic dermatitis (15/94; 16.0%), or lymphoproliferative disease (3/94; 3.2%). During 2013–2018, tissues and sera were collected from any diagnostic cases and hunter‐harvested turkeys to create a tissue repository. We used these samples to test for infection or exposure to specific pathogens. We found that 75.3% (61/81) of wild turkeys were positive for lymphoproliferative disease virus, 61.9% (52/84) for Heterakis gallinarum, 28.6% (10/35) for Toxoplasma gondii, and 15.6% (15/32) for Borrelia burgdorferi. We detected antibodies (indicating exposure) to avian paramyxovirus‐1 in 34.9% (22/63) of the wild turkeys and West Nile virus in 21% (13/62), but none were seropositive to influenza A viruses (0/62; 0%). The presence of diseases and pathogens in wild turkeys in Pennsylvania are being defined through active and passive surveillance approaches. Such data can begin to address the broader questions of disease impacts on wild turkey populations.
Stable bidentate silylene adducts of alkaline‐earth amides

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe coordination chemistry of silylenes is known for a vast number of elements of all blocks of the periodic table. However, only a handful of examples of silylene complexes have been reported for heavy alkaline‐earth elements, which is mainly attributed to the “hard‐soft” mismatch between the “hard” metal center and the “soft” silicon donor. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of alkaline‐earth silylene complexes comprising a bidentate pyridyl‐amido‐silylene ligand. The isolated Ca, Sr and Ba complexes show considerably increased stability in comparison to other known alkaline‐earth silylene complexes. The molecular structures of all three complexes are essentially similar. Interestingly, depending on the central metal, the 1H NMR chemical shifts of the ortho‐H atom show unexpected large differences. DFT computations were conducted to elucidate this trend in the NMR resonances.

Muon g − 2, B → K(∗)μ+μ− anomalies, and leptophilic dark matter in U(1)μ−τ gauge symmetry
Authors: Ko P. , Nomura Takaaki , Okada Hiroshi 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
We propose a new class of U(1)μ−τ gauged model that can explain recent flavor anomalies such as muon g − 2, b → sμ+μ−, as well as include a scalar dark matter candidate while satisfying all the phenomenological constraints. For this purpose, we add new vectorlike quarks and leptons as well as two inert singlet scalars, one leptophilic and the other leptophobic. In our model b → sμ+μ− anomalies can be explained by loop induced interactions among the SM, exotic quarks, and Z′ gauge boson. In our numerical analysis, we show allowed region of our model to be narrow, and it would be tested soon, for example by searching for 4 muons and dimuon + missing transverse momentum from pp → μ+μ−Z′ and $$ pp\to {\nu}_{\mu, \tau }{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu, \tau }Z^{\prime } $$

Quantum algorithm for Feynman loop integrals
Authors: Ramírez-Uribe Selomit , Rentería-Olivo Andrés E. , Rodrigo Germán , Sborlini German F. R. , Silva Luiz Vale 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
We present a novel benchmark application of a quantum algorithm to Feynman loop integrals. The two on-shell states of a Feynman propagator are identified with the two states of a qubit and a quantum algorithm is used to unfold the causal singular configurations of multiloop Feynman diagrams. To identify such configurations, we exploit Grover’s algorithm for querying multiple solutions over unstructured datasets, which presents a quadratic speed-up over classical algorithms when the number of solutions is much smaller than the number of possible configurations. A suitable modification is introduced to deal with topologies in which the number of causal states to be identified is nearly half of the total number of states. The output of the quantum algorithm in IBM Quantum and QUTE Testbed simulators is used to bootstrap the causal representation in the loop-tree duality of representative multiloop topologies. The algorithm may also find application and interest in graph theory to solve problems involving directed acyclic graphs.
Chitosan–organosilica hybrid decorated with silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial wearable cotton fabrics
Authors: Aboelmagd Lamis Ahmed , Tolba Emad , AbdelAziz Zeinab Ahmed 
Published: May 2022

AbstractFunctional cotton fabrics using silver-based nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted a lot of attention as a new generation of healthcare wearable textile. In this study, cotton fabrics were coated via impregnation with silver nanoparticles using chitosan (Cs) and (or) chitosan–organosilica (Cs-OSH) solutions as adhesives matrices. The physicochemical properties were studied using UV–VIS spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscope coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods (SEM–EDX). The antibacterial activity of the silver-treated fabrics was determined using agar diffusion method. However, nanosize spherical AgNPs were observed in Cs and Cs-OSH solution. The average particle diameter was around 10 nm for Cs/AgNPs sample and close 21 nm for Cs-OSH/AgNPs. Microscopy images showed the deposition of Ag NPs on the surface of cotton fibers. The results indicated that the cotton fibers treated with Cs-OSH/AgNPs solution showed good stability against washing and maintained higher antimicrobial activity even after being exposed to 10 consecutive home laundering conditions. Thus, this work suggests the use of chitosan–organosilicon matrix to improve the bonding between AgNPs and cotton fibers for better and long-term antimicrobial activity.
Fast, accurate and robust registration of multiple depth sensors without need for RGB and IR images
Authors: Mühlenbrock Andre , Fischer Roland , Schröder-Dering Christoph , Weller René , Zachmann Gabriel 
Published: May 2022

AbstractRegistration is an essential prerequisite for many applications when a multiple-camera setup is used. Due to the noise in depth images, registration procedures for depth sensors frequently rely on the detection of a target object in color or infrared images. However, this prohibits use cases where color and infrared images are not available or where there is no mapping between the pixels of different image types, e.g., due to separate sensors or different projections. We present our novel registration method that requires only the point cloud resulting from the depth image of each camera. For feature detection, we propose a combination of a custom-designed 3D registration target and an algorithm that is able to reliably detect that target and its features in noisy point clouds. Our evaluation indicates that our lattice detection is very robust (with a precision of more than 0.99) and very fast (on average about 20 ms with a single core). We have also compared our registration method with known methods: Our registration method achieves an accuracy of 1.6 mm at a distance of 2 m using only the noisy depth image, while the most accurate registration method achieves an accuracy of 0.7 mm requiring both the infrared and depth image.

Abstract
Introduction
Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a prevalent and life-threatening complication after esophagectomy. Gastric tube perfusion assessment using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) has been published in several studies and appears to be a promising tool to reduce AL rates by changing the surgical approach, namely by an intraoperative evaluation of the anastomosis localization.

Methods
In this study, gastric tube perfusion was quantified by using ICG-FI in 20 high-risk patients undergoing esophagectomy. From a time-dependent fluorescence intensity curve, the following three parameters were evaluated: slope of fluorescence intensity (SFI), background subtracted peak fluorescence intensity (BSFI), and time to slope (TTS).

Results
The values between pyloric region and tip showed a similar downward trend and SFI and BSFI significantly correlated with the distance to the pyloric region. SFI and BSFI were significantly decreased at the tip of the gastric tube. The placement of anastomosis in an area with homogenous fluorescence pattern was correlated with no AL in 92.9% of cases. An inhomogeneous fluorescence pattern at anastomotic site was a risk factor for the occurrence of an AL (p < 0.05). Reduction of perfusion up to 32% using SFI and up to 23% using BSFI was not associated with AL.

Conclusion
ICG-FI can be used to quantify the gastric tube perfusion by calculating SFI, BSFI, and TTS. The anastomosis should be created in areas with homogeneous fluorescence pattern. A reduction in blood flow of up to 32% can be accepted without causing an increased rate of insufficiency.

AbstractRandomised trials in emergency settings must quickly confirm eligibility and allocate participants to an intervention group without delaying treatment. We report rapid randomisation during two neonatal resuscitation trials using the non-commercial REDCap platform accessed via smartphone. This simple, reliable method has wide applicability for trials in emergency settings.

What is Known:• Randomised trials in emergency settings need to rapidly allocate participants to an intervention group.• This process should not delay treatment.

What is New:• This non-commercial, smartphone-accessible application enabled rapid, accurate randomisation at the bedside.• This has broad applicability for emergency setting trials.
The role of big data in network public opinion within the colleges and universities
Authors: Xu Bin , Liu Ying 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe online public opinion of colleges and universities, which utilizes social opinion, is a type of college student’s individualism that exists on campus and is a societal hot concern. With the advancement of Internet skills and uses, public perception of the network has changed significantly in terms of data quantity, sophistication, and production speed. The current public opinion assessment and monitoring system is hard to adapt to the variations occurring in this situation. It must be created under the guise of big data investigation. Furthermore, with the use of social opinion by colleges and universities, the problem of online public opinion is becoming more serious. The academic community has also been very interested in the college's early warning research on online public opinion. This manuscript examines the role of big data in guiding network public opinion in colleges as well as in universities. It is based on the analysis of the current state of college online public opinion. Our proposed model builds multi-level and comprehensive guidance metrics for new media through dynamic monitoring. It will help colleges and universities prevent early warning, processing, and analysis of online public opinion. Besides, it will promote the professionalism of online public opinion management in colleges and universities accurately and effectively.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to understand the association between positive personal resources (i.e., optimism, hope, courage, trait mindfulness, and self-efficacy), resilience, and psychological distress (i.e., anxiety, depression, stress) in women with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that personal positive resources can directly influence resilience, which in turn prevented psychological distress.

Methods
The research sample consisted of 409 Italian women (49% patients, 51% survivors) who were administered a questionnaire to assess positive resources, resiliency, and distress. structural equation model (SEM) analysis was carried out to confirm the hypothetical-theoretical model.

Results
Personal positive resources had a direct positive effect on resilience, which prevented from distress. These results were observed across cancer patients and survivors, and regardless the level of direct exposure to COVID-19.

Conclusions
In both patients and survivors, the relationships between positive personal resources, resilience, and psychological distress is strong enough to be not influenced by the level of exposure to COVID-19 and despite COVID-19 pandemic caused the disruption of active treatment plans and delays in routine check-ups.

Implications for cancer survivors
Implications of this study suggest the urgency to screen positive resources and to identify women with lower resilience and a potentially higher susceptibility to develop psychological distress. For these women, our findings suggest the implementation of psychological interventions that build resilience.
Use of mycophenolate mofetil in patients with pediatric and adult primary nephrotic syndrome: information from a Japanese hospital claims database
Authors: Funatogawa Takashi , Narita Yusuke , Tamura Aya , Mii Kazuma , Sugitani Yasuo , Uchida Tomoaki 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background
Current treatment for frequently relapsing, steroid-dependent, or steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome focuses on immunosuppressive therapies. Although the clinical guideline suggests the use of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), limited information is available on patients with primary nephrotic syndrome who receive off-label treatment with MMF in Japan.

Method
The dose, treatment duration, previous treatment, and characteristics of primary nephrotic syndrome patients receiving MMF were investigated using data from a Japanese hospital claims database (April 2008–September 2021).

Results
Data on 424 primary nephrotic syndrome patients receiving MMF (146 patients < 18 years old; 278 patients ≥ 18 years old) were captured. The most common initial daily doses of MMF capsules (% of patients < 18 and ≥ 18 years old) were 1000 mg (31.9%, 36.8%), 1500 mg (16.0%, 23.8%), and 500 mg (23.6%, 17.3%), and the most common maximum daily doses were 1000 mg (43.8%, 32.9%), 1500 mg (23.6%, 28.9%), and 2000 mg (6.3%, 16.2%). Most patients (97.9%, 99.3%) were treated with a daily dose of 2000 mg or less. Among patients < 18 years old, the younger the patient, the lower the dose. MMF was used for more than 1 year in 30.8% of patients < 18 years old and in 28.8% of patients ≥ 18 years old.

Conclusions
Our study suggested that off-label use of MMF for primary nephrotic syndrome has increased since 2012 in Japan. The dose of MMF used in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome was generally within the approved dose range for lupus nephritis and transplant-related diseases in Japan.
Alarm Technologies to Wake Sleeping People Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Authors: Smedberg Erik , Ronchi Enrico , Hutchison Victoria 
Published: May 2022

AbstractTraditional fire alarms emit a high-frequency sound to alert the occupants of an imminent threat, which may be less appropriate for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. To address this issue, the scientific literature concerning alternative alarm technologies has been reviewed to evaluate their effectiveness in awakening people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The results show that low-frequency alarms, bed shakers and/or pillow shakers seem to be the most reliable existing technologies for this group of people. The main codes and standards relevant to these technologies have also been screened. This highlighted that a new standard for alarm technologies incorporating tactile signals might be needed. In addition, this paper presents the responses of 36 people who were deaf or hard of hearing participating to a survey in which their experiences and preferences in relation to fire alarm technologies were investigated. While some technologies have been identified in the literature as potentially effective, the survey responses indicate that people who are deaf or hard of hearing do not necessarily use them.
