Analysis of the Influence of Different Drying Methods on the Active Ingredients of Fresh Medicine
Authors: Yang Jianqin , Miao Mingsan 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe heating area of the material is large and the thermal efficiency is high, but it is necessary to control the suitable drying temperature of different medicinal materials to preserve the effective ingredients. Different kinds of Chinese medicine need different drying conditions to fulfill good drying requirements. Natural drying in the shade is one of the traditional drying methods, which takes a long time and is easily affected by the weather. The water volatilizes slowly. It is prone to mildew and discoloration during the drying process. However, it can better preserve the volatile oil components of Chinese medicine. The hot-air drying machine has lower requirements. The medicinal materials have a large heating area and high thermal efficiency, but it is necessary to control the appropriate drying temperature of different medicinal materials in order to preserve the active ingredients of the medicinal materials; it is not suitable for medicinal materials that stick and bind easily. The microwave drying method possesses superiority in drying some valuable medicinal materials such as Renshen (Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng) and Lurong (Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum), and the effective ingredients are preserved at a high degree; it can also achieve the purpose of killing enzymes and protecting glycosides and have a good bactericidal effect, but it is not suitable for Chinese medicines containing heat-sensitive ingredients, because it will destroy most of the proteins, amino acids, and peptides of Chinese medicine and result in the loss of efficacy. The far-infrared drying method is suitable for drying thin-layer medicinal materials and is friendly to the environment. Freeze-drying can preserve the active ingredients very well and greatly retain the efficacy, but it has obvious limitations in preserving some Chinese medicinal materials that need to kill enzymes and protect glycosides; besides, the cost is relatively high and the drying time is long.

AbstractAs an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing technology, moxibustion plays a unique role in improving the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The research on the mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS mainly focuses on anti-inflammatory effects, immune regulation, bone metabolism regulation, intestinal flora regulation, and so on. Molecular medicine is of great significance to further clarify the mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS. However, there are still some problems in the research on the molecular mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS: the existing biomedical research methods only explore from a specific field and lack the exploration of moxibustion-targeted molecules based on biomedical network. In the future, the molecular network effect of moxibustion on AS can be discussed comprehensively and systematically with the help of omics technology and the construction of biological information interaction network between omics. The effect of moxibustion on upstream osteogenic transcription factors and related signaling pathways such as WNT, β-catenin, and BMP/Smads is not yet clear. Future research can focus on the relevant signal targets of bone reconstruction and clarify the mechanism of moxibustion against the new bone formation. In addition, there is a lack of research on the molecular mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of AS from the perspective of metabolites. It is necessary to further explore the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of AS with the help of metabonomics technology.

AbstractChronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative syndrome caused by repetitive and cumulative head trauma. Due to the widespread practice of contact and collision sports, a discussion of the long-term repercussions of repeated head trauma is imperative. The present literature review, performed through the SciELO, PUBMED, and BVS-Bireme databases, includes studies conducted since the year 2000, which established the relationship between CTE and the practice of sports. The diagnosis of CTE was notably present in individuals practicing sports that involve repeated traumatic brain injuries. The noticeable changes triggered by CTE include a series of clinical and neuropathological manifestations that can help in the differentiation from other tauopathies.
Multi-Level Cervical Disc Degeneration and Vertigo
Authors: Ercan Serdar , Baloglu Murat 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Objective While complaints of pain, loss of strength, and numbness radiating to the neck and arm are common in patients due to cervical disc degeneration, vertigo is a rare symptom. The articles previously published on the subject focus on single-level disk degeneration and its correlation with vertigo. However, in the case of multilevel cervical discopathy, its effect on the severity of vertigo and its response to surgical treatment has not been clarified. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to shed light on the topic.
Methods Patients with vertigo complaints in whom all known etiological causes of vertigo had been excluded, but with cervical disc degeneration, were included in the study. The scores on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Cervical Vertigo Evaluation Scale (CVES) were analyzed in terms of numbers of discopathy, spine levels, and differences regarding the preoperative and postoperative status.
Results A total of 24 patients (14 with single-level and 10 with multi-level disc degeneration) underwent anterior cervical discectomy. The preoperative CVES score was significantly decreased after surgery. Multi-level disc degeneration causes fewer vertigo symptoms than the single-level kind. No significant correlation between the severity of pain and vertigo was observed.
Conclusion Multi-level disc degeneration causes fewer vertigo symptoms. These symptoms decreased after anterior cervical discectomy in cases of single-level disk herniation at upper segments. The surgical intervention could be a favorable choice of treatment. However, the mechanism and treatment approach to cervical vertigo is still a controversial issue.

AbstractThe management of unreduced knee dislocations who present late is challenging. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes following open reduction and reconstructive surgery for chronic irreducible knee dislocations. This retrospective study analyzed prospectively collected data of patients with an unreduced fixed anterior or posterior knee dislocation of 1 to 6 months' duration, treated with open reduction, hinged external fixator application, and ligament reconstruction who had a minimum 2-year follow-up. Patients were classified based on presence of prior periarticular surgery and direction of dislocation. Data on pre- and posttreatment clinical, radiological, and functional scores were analyzed. A total of 21 patients (age range: 19–43 years) fulfilled all inclusion criteria. These included 13 missed dislocations and 8 neglected postoperative dislocations. There were 18 posterior and 3 anterior dislocations. The mean follow-up was 6.9 years (range: 2.7–16.2 years). On final follow-up, all 21 patients were independently ambulatory with mean knee range of motion 127 degrees. No patient had symptomatic knee instability at final follow-up, despite four having isolated grade-III posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) laxity. Anatomical reduction was achieved in 19 patients, whereas 2 patients had incomplete joint reduction with a persistent grade-II fixed posterior subluxation. Scanograms revealed coronal alignment within 5 degrees of the opposite unaffected limb in 17 patients. Mean functional scores improved from preoperative 9.4 ± 4.7 (range: 2–19) to postoperative 75.9 ± 8.0 (range: 64–95) for Lysholm's and preoperative 10.7 ± 1.8 (range: 8.3–13.7) to postoperative 73.5 ± 6.7 (range: 66.7–88.7) for knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) scores. Prior periarticular surgery was associated with significantly inferior Lysholm's scores (p < 0.04). Although 23.8% knees developed posttraumatic knee arthritis, no patient had undergone conversion to knee arthroplasty or arthrodesis. The study concludes that open reduction and reconstructive surgery is an effective surgical treatment for chronic irreducible knee dislocations of up to 6 months duration. An individualized, often staged approach that prioritizes joint reduction, early knee mobilization, and knee stability, ensures satisfactory clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes in the medium term. This is a clinical case series and reflects level of evidence IV.
Increase of the photoconductivity quantum yield in silicon irradiated by neutrons to extremely high fluences

Published: July 2022

Abstract
An enhanced quantum yield observed in silicon ionizing radiation detectors, neutron-irradiated to extremely high fluences, could be attributed to impact ionization via deep levels. The quantum yield was investigated by the intrinsic photoconductivity optical spectroscopy in silicon irradiated by neutrons to a wide range of fluences up to 1 × 1017 neutron cm−2. An increase of quantum yield was observed in highly irradiated samples. We have demonstrated that the quantum yield enhancement could be attributed to the impact ionization via deep levels, this process being presumably related to disordered defect clusters regions in Si. The proposed mechanism explains the observed decrease of the impact ionization energy by at least an order of magnitude at low temperature. The impact ionization energy values of up to 0.30–0.36 eV and less, and 0.38–0.40 eV were determined at T ∼ 21–33 K and at T = 195 K, respectively.

Abstract
Optoelectronic devices are becoming increasingly important due to their compatibility with CMOS fabrication technology and their superior performance in all dimensions compared to currently available devices. Numerous modern applications are formulated based on various aspects of optoelectronic materials and devices, such as artificial intelligence, optical memory, optoelectronic synapses, humanoid-photodetectors, holography, solar cells, charge storage devices, bio-electronic devices, and so on. Persistent photoconductivity (PPC), an optoelectronic phenomenon that has piqued the scientific community’s interest, is a novel approach to these modern applications. In this article, we highlighted the use of PPC in a variety of emerging optoelectronic applications. PPC is a light-induced mechanism that persists after light excitation is terminated, i.e. the response does not stop immediately but remains available for a period of time. In recent years, the time duration over which the response after turning off the illumination is available has been proposed for a variety of applications. PPC has primarily been explored from a theoretical point of view, with the application component being largely ignored. Very recently, the scientific community has started exploring the possible applications pertaining to PPC such as optoelectronic synapses, holography, optical memory, bioelectronics, and artificial intelligence. Depending on the nature of the material and the type of model used in the application, a variety of mechanisms can be used to modulate the charge trapping and de-trapping methodologies for a specific application. This topical review summarizes the origins of PPC, its control mechanism, and recent advances in a variety of materials such as metal oxides, superconductors, nanofibers, 2D-semiconductors, alloys, nitrides, organic materials, topological insulators, and so on. In addition, the paper has carefully explored the development of next-generation optoelectronic applications designed for industry 4.0 leveraging the PPC phenomenon.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
We have studied the effect of deposition pressure on the magnetization reversal, domains, anisotropy and Gilbert damping constant in the ferromagnetic (CoFeB and Co) single and bilayer samples. Hysteresis measured by magneto-optic Kerr microscopy for the single layer films prepared at higher deposition pressure indicate no change of loop shape i.e. isotropic behaviour. An enhancement of anisotropy has been observed in the bilayer samples than the single layer samples prepared at a particular deposition condition. However, increasing the deposition pressure to 50 sccm for the bilayer samples, anisotropy gets reduced. For single layer Co film deposited at 10 sccm exhibits branch and patch like domains for different angle between the easy axis and the external magnetic field. However, the Co film deposited at 50 sccm exhibits ripple like domains. In the case of single layer CoFeB, branch and patch like domains are observed deposited at 10 sccm. Patch like domains are found for the CoFeB films deposited at 50 sccm. Pinned labyrinth and ripple kind of magnetic domains along with the big branch domains are found in the bilayer samples. The pinned domains may be due to the interfacial exchange coupling. Similar values of damping constants have been observed for different thin films prepared at different deposition pressure.
Benchmarking structural evolution methods for training of machine learned interatomic potentials
Authors: Waters Michael J , Rondinelli James M 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
When creating training data for machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs), it is common to create initial structures and evolve them using molecular dynamics (MD) to sample a larger configuration space. We benchmark two other modalities of evolving structures, contour exploration (CE) and dimer-method (DM) searches against MD for their ability to produce diverse and robust density functional theory training data sets for MLIPs. We also discuss the generation of initial structures which are either from known structures or from random structures in detail to further formalize the structure-sourcing processes in the future. The polymorph-rich zirconium-oxygen composition space is used as a rigorous benchmark system for comparing the performance of MLIPs trained on structures generated from these structural evolution methods. Using Behler–Parrinello neural networks as our MLIP models, we find that CE and the DM searches are generally superior to MD in terms of spatial descriptor diversity and statistical accuracy.

Abstract
The structural and magnetic properties of hole doped double perovskite La1.5Ca0.5CoFeO6 have been investigated by measuring x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, neutron powder diffraction and magnetization. A ferrimagnetic transition is observed at T
C∼ 167 K. The presence of anti-site disorder (ASD) in La1.5Ca0.5CoFeO6 has also been demonstrated. Double re-entrant cluster glass transitions (T
1∼ 11 K and TS
∼ 35 K) were observed which has been attributed to the ASD effect. The presence of both large spontaneous exchange bias H
SEB ∼ 2.106 kOe and giant conventional exchange bias H
CEB ∼ 1.56 T at 5 K has also been observed which can be attributed to the coexistence of long range magnetic ordering and glassy state. The experimental observations were explained with the results obtained by the density functional theory calculation. The presence of double glassy states, large exchange-bias effect and different magnetic phases make this system a potential candidate for spintronic applications.
On the determination of the vibrational temperature by optical emission spectroscopy
Authors: Dilecce G , Ambrico P F , Martini L M , Tosi P 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Over the years, until the present days, a persistent mistake has been found in the literature: the use of the ‘vibrational temperature’ of an emitting electronic state as somewhat representative of the vibrational temperature of the gas in the discharge. Such a temperature is determined by fitting the spectra measured by optical emission spectroscopy. Besides the misuse of the word temperature, the results of such fittings are ambiguously named ‘vibrational temperature’ and sometimes used to argue about the vibrational non-equilibrium and its variation with discharge conditions. What has this temperature to do with the vibrational excitation of the molecules’ ground state, i.e. of the large majority of gas components? It is well established that the connection between the vibrational population of the excited and the ground state exists through the excitation process, the collisional quenching, and the vibrational relaxation in the manifold of the excited state. Nevertheless, this is very often ignored in the literature. In this note, we discuss this subject with the example of the ‘vibrational temperature’ of the N2(C, v) manifold, showing how much all the mentioned parameters can drive to incorrect deductions from an anyway conceptually wrong measurement.
Aspects of long range spin–triplet correlations in superconductor/ferromagnet hetero-structures
Authors: Bhatia Ekta , Senapati Kartik 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The notion of competing ferromagnetic (F) and superconducting (S) orders in F/S hybrid structures was transformed by the first realization of ferromagnetic Josephson π-junctions and the almost simultaneous prediction of a possibility of spin–triplet correlations in such structures, almost two decades back. Such hybrid structures in various configurations are now studied as rich sources of emergent states and new effects. Unlike the spin singlet Cooper pairs, the spin triplet Cooper pairs are much less affected by the exchange field of a ferromagnet and, therefore, immediately finds interest in the field of spintronics. Theoretically, it has been shown that the basic protocol for spin–singlet to spin–triplet supercurrent conversion is the presence of magnetic non-collinearity at the superconductor–ferromagnet interface. Therefore, almost all experiments in this direction have utilized transport measurements on F/S systems with artificial magnetic non-collinearity formed by combination of several ferromagnetic layers next to the superconducting layer. Here we highlight two aspects of studying these heterostructures. Firstly we show that natural magnetic inhomogeneities, found in domain walls of ferromagnets, can also be used to achieve singlet–triplet conversion, instead of artificial magnetic inhomoheneities. This possibility was explored via transport measurements in nano-scale planar Nb–Ni–Nb junctions and nano-SQUIDs, where a domain wall was pinned at the Josephson junction barrier. By this method we were able to show Josephson coupling across about 70 nm of strong ferromagnetic planar barrier. Secondly we show that spin–triplet correlations at the F/S interface are robust enough to be probed by the diamagnetic screening currents at the interface. This was probed by studying the change in sperconducting transition temperature of Nb/Co/Py/Nb multilayers in presence of small in-plane magnetic field. The Co/Py combination, which is a soft-hard type magnetic exchange spring, worked as magnetic inhomogeneity for triplet generation at the interface of the superconducting Nb. These observations may promote new experiments in the field of superconducting-spintronics.
Quantum readout error mitigation via deep learning

Abstract
Quantum computing devices are inevitably subject to errors. To leverage quantum technologies for computational benefits in practical applications, quantum algorithms and protocols must be implemented reliably under noise and imperfections. Since noise and imperfections limit the size of quantum circuits that can be realized on a quantum device, developing quantum error mitigation techniques that do not require extra qubits and gates is of critical importance. In this work, we present a deep learning-based protocol for reducing readout errors on quantum hardware. Our technique is based on training an artificial neural network (NN) with the measurement results obtained from experiments with simple quantum circuits consisting of singe-qubit gates only. With the NN and deep learning, non-linear noise can be corrected, which is not possible with the existing linear inversion methods. The advantage of our method against the existing methods is demonstrated through quantum readout error mitigation experiments performed on IBM five-qubit quantum devices.
