Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for depression in persons with Parkinson′s disease (PwPD), but there are significant barriers preventing PwPD from receiving care in person. Telehealth CBT circumvents many of these barriers.ObjectivesWe conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of telehealth transdiagnostic CBT intervention for depression in PwPD.MethodsTwelve PwPD with Major Depressive Disorder were enrolled, half randomly assigned to the treatment‐immediate condition (TI) and half to the waitlist control condition (WLC). TI and WLC participants received 12 CBT sessions and assessments before treatment, immediately after treatment, and at the 6‐week follow‐up.ResultsThe intervention was efficacious for treating depression in PwPD, with secondary benefits to anxiety, apathy, learning, memory, and quality of life. Improvements were largely maintained at follow‐up. The intervention was highly feasible and acceptable.ConclusionsTelehealth transdiagnostic CBT was an effective intervention for PwPD with depression.

Published: October 2022

AbstractWe examine the impact of international students on China's total factor productivity (TFP) from 2000 to 2017 using two‐way fixed effect, IV‐2SLS, and system GMM methods. The results are as follows. (1) International students can promote the growth of China's TFP. (2) Short‐term international students play a more important role than long‐term international students. International students contributed the most to TFP growth in the eastern region, followed by the central and western regions. (3) The main ways that international students facilitate the growth of TFP are through improving technical progress and reducing education costs.
Ultra‐wideband planar patch antenna array using multimode resonant antenna element for millimeter‐wave applications

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis letter proposes an ultra‐wideband planar patch antenna array in a millimeter wave (mmW) band. The radiation element consists of a pair of symmetrical E‐shaped patches and two pairs of grounded metallic vias. A microstrip line is selected to excite the antenna element through an H‐shaped coupling slot. The entire structure is designed on two substrates, which makes it have a relatively low cost. The periodic boundaries are adopted in element simulation to achieve good agreement of performances between the element and the final array. The proposed element exhibits triple‐resonant characteristics and achieves a working bandwidth of 62%. By employing the proposed element, an 8 × 8 array with a 1‐to‐64 full‐corporate feeding network is designed, manufactured, and measured. The measured results demonstrate that the fabricated array prototype realizes an impedance bandwidth of 71% from 22 to 46.3 GHz covering all 5G mmW bands in the K/Ka band, a gain from 18.2 to 23.4 dBi over the whole operating bandwidth, and cross‐polarization levels below –30 dB. With the merits of an ultra‐wideband, stable radiation, and a low cost, the proposed array can be applied to long‐distance mmW communications and related applications.
Bycatch in a Coastal Black Drum Trotline Fishery

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Bycatch remains a challenging issue for many fisheries across the globe. Due to the cost and effort of (bycatch) observer programs, many fisheries—particularly those not in U.S. federal waters—operate with little information about bycatch. The Black Drum Pogonias cromis and Sheepshead Archosargus probatocephalus fishery in Louisiana comprises one of the largest fisheries by volume and in recent years has exceeded US$5 million in annual value. The vast majority of Black Drum and Sheepshead are harvested by the baited trotline fishery that operates in state waters. Very little is known about the bycatch from this fishery; however, because of the magnitude of the fishery quantifying bycatch is needed for the management of this resource. We observed 59 baited trotline sets on 13 different dates spanning 2 years of sampling (2020–2021). The total bycatch (n = 1,392) was similar in number to the harvest of the target species (n = 1,265). However, most bycatch species were nongame fishes and were released alive. Of all the bycatch caught, only 4% was dead and the majority of that 4% (47 out of 57 fish) consisted of Gafftopsail Catfish Bagre marinus and Hardhead Catfish Ariopsis felis, both species for which there is little fishery and no known issues with the populations. We also found that catch rates for bycatch did not vary by season or between the two areas fished. The catch rate of bycatch did not increase as the catch rate of target species increased; although, as expected, bycatch mortality did significantly increase as water temperature increased. Overall, the baited trotline fishery for Black Drum and Sheepshead catches about one individual of bycatch for one target individual; however, the overall extremely low bycatch mortality (of common species) suggests that this fishery operates with few adverse effects on nontarget species.
Sine transform based preconditioning techniques for space fractional diffusion equations
Authors: Qin Hai‐Hua , Pang Hong‐Kui , Sun Hai‐Wei 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWe study the preconditioned iterative methods for the linear systems arising from the numerical solution of the multi‐dimensional space fractional diffusion equations. A sine transform based preconditioning technique is developed according to the symmetric and skew‐symmetric splitting of the Toeplitz factor in the resulting coefficient matrix. Theoretical analyses show that the upper bound of relative residual norm of the GMRES method when applied to the preconditioned linear system is mesh‐independent which implies the linear convergence. Numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the correctness of the theoretical results and the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioning technique.

AbstractAramid fibers and ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers lack active surface functional groups, and the surface is smooth, limiting their practical application in textile composite materials. In this study, zinc oxide nanorods were used to grow on aramid fibers surfaces, and oxygen plasma followed by treatment with a silane coupling agent was used to modify UHMWPE fibers. The effects of surface modification on the surface morphology and composition, and mechanical properties of fibers and composites were investigated. The mechanical response of interlayer hybrid textile composite materials based on modified aramid and UHMWPE fabrics was examined. The results reveal that surface roughness, active surface functional groups, and wettability that can be controlled by treatment conditions and parameters are important for improving interface adhesion. In addition, the interlayer hybridization pattern as a result of using dissimilar layer materials and altering stacking sequence has a great impact on the mechanical behavior of hybrid textile composite materials.

AbstractHydrophobic polyurethane (PU) films are widely used for various commercial and industrial applications due to their excellent water repelling and self‐cleaning property. Nevertheless, achieving appreciable hydrophobicity in PU film is quite a challenge. Herein, we report on the development of a novel hydrophobic PU (fluorinated polyurethane [FCO‐PU]) film and comprehensively evaluate its anticorrosive property. The FCO‐PU was prepared by structural modification of castor oil (CO) through attachment of long fluorocarbon chains as pendant groups onto the backbone of CO. A model PU film (CO‐PU) was also prepared from unmodified CO to compare the properties of FCO‐PU film. All intermediate compounds, FCO‐PU and CO‐PU films were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. Morphological, thermal and mechanical properties of the PU films were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) studies. Successful introduction of long fluorocarbon chains into the FCO‐PU film is reflected by its high hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 119.1°, compared to the model CO‐PU film with a water contact angle of 84.4°. Anticorrosive properties of the PU films were evaluated by polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy under corrosive environment and the obtained results reveal a significant corrosion resistance (corrosion rate: 6.72 × 10−6 mm/year) behavior by the FCO‐PU film. This work represents an effective strategy for the backbone modification of CO to develop novel functional PU materials.

AbstractGold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in biomedical diagnostics due to their unique plasmonic properties, with larger AuNPs showing higher extinction coefficients for the plasmon band and, consequently, more intense colors than the more commonly used spherical 20 nm AuNPs. Other factors can be important in the performance of different‐sized AuNPs, including surface area, colloidal stability, and curvature effects. Here, the properties of spherical 20 nm AuNPs and 35 nm AuNPs functionalized with a specific thiol‐modified oligonucleotide–Au nanoprobes are compared when used on a colorimetric assay for the detection of a single nucleotide polymorphism related to lactose intolerance in humans. Successful functionalization of AuNPs is assessed by UV–vis spectroscopy, agarose gel electrophoresis, dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Statistical differences between Au‐nanoprobe DNA target groups are calculated using analysis of variance and a post hoc Tukey's test. These results show that both 35 and 20 nm Au nanoprobes have similar detection limits using a 0.15 nmol dm−3 nanoprobe concentration compared to 2.5 nmol dm−3. Interestingly, the use of 35 nm Au nanoprobes allows a reduction of 80% and 48% in the amount of gold and oligonucleotide used in the assay, respectively.

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this study was to analyse the psychometric performance (reliability and validity) of the TAPQOL questionnaire in measuring the global quality of life in children with central airway obstruction (CAO), which encompasses pathologies with a low prevalence that have a common anatomical or functional affectation.MethodThe study population consisted of 109 patients with CAO attended in a national reference airway unitafter signing informed consent. The TAPQOL questionnaire was used to measure the global quality of life and its psychometric characteristics were analysed. The reliability was determined using Cronbach's α statistic and the validity was determined by means of a principal component analysis.ResultsThe mean age was 4.8 years and there was no predominant sex. The most frequent diagnosis was laryngomalacia (24.5%), followed bysubglotticstenosis (20.2%). The lowest score in the TAPQOL questionnaire was obtained for the scales of anxiety (66.2 ± 23.7), respiratory (67.9 ± 29.6), and conduct 68.2 ± 21.4). The Cronbach's α was above 0.7 in the majority of the scales and the validity study by principal component analysis with a total variance of 76.7% fits the original 12‐component model.ConclusionsTAPQOL is a valid tool to measure the health‐related quality of life in patients with CAO. Measuring it in these patients indicates which fields are most affected, highlighting therapeutic needs that have not been resolved but which can be approached in normal clinical practice.
Recruitment of chalcone's potential in drug discovery of anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 agents
Authors: Valipour Mehdi 
Published: October 2022

AbstractChalcone is an interesting scaffold found in the structure of many naturally occurring molecules. Medicinal chemists are commonly interested in designing new chalcone‐based structures because of having the α, β‐unsaturated ketone functional group, which allows these compounds to participate in Michael's reaction and create strong covalent bonds at the active sites of the targets. Some studies have identified several natural chalcone‐based compounds with the ability to inhibit the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus proteases. A few years after the advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and the publication of many findings in this regard, there is some evidence that suggests chalcone scaffolding has great potential for use in the design and development of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) inhibitors. Artificial placement of this scaffold in the structure of optimized anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 compounds can potentially provide irreversible inhibition of the viral cysteine proteases 3‐chymotrypsin‐like protease and papain‐like protease by creating Michael interaction. Despite having remarkable capabilities, the use of chalcone scaffold in drug design and discovery of SARS‐CoV‐2 inhibitors seems to have been largely neglected. This review addresses issues that could lead to further consideration of chalcone scaffolding in the structure of SARS‐CoV‐2 protease inhibitors in the future.

AbstractA major obstacle in glioma research is the lack of in vitro models that can retain cellular features of glioma cells in vivo. To overcome this limitation, a 3D‐engineered scaffold, fabricated by two‐photon polymerization, is developed as a cell culture model system to study patient‐derived glioma cells. Scanning electron microscopy, (live cell) confocal microscopy, and immunohistochemistry are employed to assess the 3D model with respect to scaffold colonization, cellular morphology, and epidermal growth factor receptor localization. Both glioma patient‐derived cells and established cell lines successfully colonize the scaffolds. Compared to conventional 2D cell cultures, the 3D‐engineered scaffolds more closely resemble in vivo glioma cellular features and allow better monitoring of individual cells, cellular protrusions, and intracellular trafficking. Furthermore, less random cell motility and increased stability of cellular networks is observed for cells cultured on the scaffolds. The 3D‐engineered glioma scaffolds therefore represent a promising tool for studying brain cancer mechanobiology as well as for drug screening studies.

AbstractIntroducing nitrogen vacancies is an effective method to improve the catalytic performance of g‐C3N4‐based photocatalysts, whereas understanding how nitrogen vacancies types affect the catalytic performance remains unclear. Herein, two different types of nitrogen vacancies were successfully introduced into g‐C3N4 by pyrolysis of melamine under argon and ammonia atmosphere with subsequent HNO3 oxidation. The pyrolysis atmosphere is found to have a significant influence on the introduced nitrogen vacancies type, where tertiary nitrogen groups (N3C) and sp2‐hybridized nitrogen atoms (N2C) were the preferred sites for the formation of nitrogen vacancies under ammonia and argon pyrolysis, respectively. Moreover, nitrogen vacancies from N3C are experimentally and theoretically demonstrated to facilitate the narrowed band gap and the improved oxygen absorption capability. As expected, the optimal catalyst exhibits high H2O2 yield of 451.8 µM, which is 3.8 times higher than the pristine g‐C3N4 (119.0 µM) after 4 h and good stability after10 photocatalytic runs.

AbstractBackgroundCorsica is a large French island in the Mediterranean Sea with high human and animal migration rates, especially near wetlands where these migrations are particularly frequent. Among the livestock populations, cattle and sheep are widely present all across the entire Mediterranean region. Trade can be responsible for the circulation of numerous pathogens and their vectors, thereby representing a health and economic threat for the livestock industry.ObjectivesThe objective of our study was to investigate the presence of pathogens in cattle and sheep farms in the wetlands of Corsica using a high‐throughput screening technique.MethodsIn our study, blood samples and ticks were collected from cattle and sheep in 20 municipalities near Corsican wetlands to screen for the presence of various types of pathogens. The samples were processed using a high‐throughput screening technique based on real‐time microfluidic PCR: 45 pathogens were screened in 47 samples simultaneously.ResultsA total of 372 cattle and 74 sheep were sampled, and 444 ticks were collected from cattle. Out of the eight tick species detected, the main one was Rhipicephalus bursa (38.7% of the ticks collected). From cattle blood samples, one species and two genera were found: Anaplasma marginale, Trypanosoma sp. and Babesia sp. in respectively 61.5%, 58.3% and 12.2% of the cattle blood samples. From sheep blood samples, 74.3% were positive for Anaplasma sp, 2.7% for Anaplasma ovis and 1.4% for Anaplasma capra. This is the first report of A. ovis DNA in blood samples from sheep in Corsica. Out of 444 the tick samples, 114 were positive: 77.2% for Rickettsia aeschlimannii, 20.2% for Rickettsia sp., 3.5% for Babesia sp. and 1.8% for Anaplasma sp. Among them, 2.7% were co‐infected with R. aeschlimannii and Babesia sp.ConclusionsOur results confirm the extent of possible circulation of different pathogens near Corsican wetlands, not only in ticks collected from livestock but also directly in cattle and sheep, with two (Trypanosoma sp. and Babesia sp.) being detected for the first time in cattle, one for the first time in sheep (A. ovis) and one for the first time in Corsica (A. capra)
Digital and Computational Pathology: A Specialty Reimagined
Authors: Kiehl Tim-Rasmus 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe field of pathology, which provides tissue diagnoses for clinical and research purposes, is at the heart of medical decision-making. The current move to digital pathology (DP) is a fundamental change in how primary diagnostic work, consultations, education, and multidisciplinary conferences are performed. DP is the prerequisite for computational pathology (CPATH), the big-data approach to pathology that extracts information from images, typically using artificial intelligence (AI) methods. While CPATH offers significant new capabilities and workflows, it also brings new challenges. There will be knock-on effects on other specialties and in teaching and research. The emerging next-generation pathology will be more quantitative, will have more diagnostic consistency, and will be more connected to its medical peers.
First law for Kerr Taub-NUT AdS black holes
Authors: Rodríguez Nelson Hernández , Rodriguez Maria J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The first law of black hole mechanics, which relates the change of energy to the change of entropy and other conserved charges, has been the main motivation for probing the thermodynamic properties of black holes. In this work, we investigate the thermodynamics of Kerr Taub-NUT AdS black holes. We present geometric Komar definitions for the black hole charges, that by construction satisfy the Smarr formula. Further, by a scaling argument based on Euler’s theorem, we establish the first law for the Kerr Taub-NUT AdS black holes. The corresponding first law includes variations in the cosmological constant, NUT charges and angular momenta. The key new ingredient in the construction are the independent variations of both angular momenta, the black hole and Misner string angular momenta. Employing the Brown-York quasi-local charge definitions we show that our expression for the mass and spin coincide with our generalized Komar expressions. We indicate the relevance of these results to the thermodynamics of rotating AdS black holes, including the proper choice of time-like Killing vector to produce the correct thermodynamic mass.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe tile-spectral direction of the discrete Fuglede-conjecture is well-known for cyclic groups of square-free order, initiated by Łaba and Meyerowitz, but the spectral-tile direction is far from being well-understood. The product of at most three primes as the order of the cyclic group was studied intensely in the last couple of years. In this paper we study the case when the order of the cyclic group is the product of four different primes and prove that Fuglede’s conjecture holds in this case.
