Published: April 2022

Objectives A statewide Maryland Perinatal Neonatal Quality Collaborative, facilitated by the Maryland Patient Safety Center (MPSC), identified the three specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-limited (SMART) aims to improve outcomes of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) care as follows: (1) to reduce hospital length of stay (LOS), (2) to reduce interhospital transfers, and (3) to reduce 30-day readmission rates of infants with NAS.
Study Design The Maryland collaborative developed a bundle of best practices for care of infants with NAS. MPSC partnered with Vermont Oxford Network (VON) to utilize the VON NAS toolkit and provided its standardized NAS educational curriculum to address the three objectives for participating birthing hospitals. Efforts began in quarter 4 (Q4) of 2016 and continued for 2 years. Thirty-one of Maryland's 32 delivery hospitals (97%) participated in the 2-year collaborative. Additionally, one specialty pediatric hospital with an NAS unit participated in the group learnings. Participating facilities implemented components of the MPSC NAS bundle and provided their staff caring for infants with NAS and their mothers access to the VON standardized educational curriculum. MPSC partnered with VON to conduct two audits of implementation of policies and procedures in Q1 of 2016 and Q3 of 2018. The Maryland Department of Health supplied quarterly aggregate hospital information on LOS, interhospital transfers, and 30-day readmissions of infants with a discharge diagnosis of the International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision (ICD-10), P96.1.
Results Among term infants with NAS with total hospital stay greater than 5 days, we observed a nonsignificant reduction in both mean and median LOS of 1.5 days. In this same group, the rate of interhospital transfers fell significantly from 20.1% in 2016 to 13.8 and 11.0% in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Conclusion The best practice bundle created by the Maryland collaborative was associated with a reduction in the percentage of infants with NAS who required interhospital transfer, thereby reducing family disruption.

AbstractThe present study was designed to determine if speech recognition performance will improve after subjects prepare for an unfamiliar communication situation as opposed to a familiar one. Forty-five normal-hearing subjects were divided into three groups: one trained using a well-known fairytale, one trained using an obscure fable, and one without training. Post-training, all groups performed similarly when tested on the familiar tale. When test material involved the unfamiliar fable, only the group trained on that material obtained significantly better scores than the other groups. Results support teaching clients that increasing their knowledge of upcoming unfamiliar events can improve subsequent speech recognition.

Diversity via datafication? Digital patient records and citizenship for sexuality and gender diverse people
Authors: Davis Mark D. M. , Schermuly Allegra , Smith Anthony K. J. , Newman Christy 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIn 2018, the Australian Government adopted an ‘opt-out’ strategy to increase participation in My Health Record (MHR), the national digital patient record system. Opt out was rationalised through discourse on the universal right to health. Media controversy ensued due to privacy fears, security and commercial exploitation of patient information. LGBT community organisations warned that people with complex health needs should consider their privacy and legal situation when deciding whether or not to opt out of MHR. With reference to the health needs of sexuality and gender diverse people, we examine MHR’s rights universalism, possessive individualism, and state-based rationalisation of health governance. MHR hails all but no-one in particular, erasing diversity and straightwashing data medicine. It is a technological solution to state-based imperatives for health governance, an emphasis that does not serve minority communities or address health needs that attract stigma and prejudice. We counterpose these effects with citizenship framings seated in critical approaches to data assemblages and sexuality and gender diversity. We suggest ways in which data medicine, of which MHR is but one example, can be made more relevant and effective for individuals and communities whose healthcare is poorly served by mainstream health systems.

Published: April 2022

Contactless acoustic manipulation of micro/nanoscale particles has attracted considerable attention owing to its near independence of the physical and chemical properties of the targets, making it universally applicable to almost all biological systems. Thin-film bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators operating at gigahertz (GHz) frequencies have been demonstrated to generate localized high-speed microvortices through acoustic streaming effects. Benefitting from the strong drag forces of the high-speed vortices, BAW-enabled GHz acoustic streaming tweezers (AST) have been applied to the trapping and enrichment of particles ranging in size from micrometers to less than 100 nm. However, the behavior of particles in such 3D microvortex systems is still largely unknown. In this work, the particle behavior (trapping, enrichment, and separation) in GHz AST is studied by theoretical analyses, 3D simulations, and microparticle tracking experiments. It is found that the particle motion in the vortices is determined mainly by the balance between the acoustic streaming drag force and the acoustic radiation force. This work can provide basic design principles for AST-based lab-on-a-chip systems for a variety of applications.
Highly accurate HF dimer ab initio potential energy surface

Published: April 2022

A highly accurate, (HF)2 potential energy surface (PES) is constructed based on ab initio calculations performed at the coupled-cluster single double triple level of theory with an aug-cc-pVQZ-F12 basis set at about 152 000 points. A higher correlation correction is computed at coupled-cluster single double triple quadruple level for 2000 points and is considered alongside other more minor corrections due to relativity, core-valence correlation, and Born–Oppenheimer failure. The analytical surface constructed uses 500 constants to reproduce the ab initio points with a standard deviation of 0.3 cm−1. Vibration–rotation–inversion energy levels of the HF dimer are computed for this PES by variational solution of the nuclear-motion Schrödinger equation using the program WAVR4. Calculations over an extended range of rotationally excited states show very good agreement with the experimental data. In particular, the known empirical rotational constants B for the ground vibrational states are predicted to better than about 2 MHz. B constants for excited vibrational states are reproduced several times more accurately than by previous calculations. This level of accuracy is shown to extend to higher excited inter-molecular vibrational states v and higher excited rotational quantum numbers (J, Ka).

Significance

This study aims to identify drugs that activate the Mullerian inhibiting substance pathway to be used for contraception or other applications in women’s health. We describe a high-throughput screening pipeline to identify small molecules that activate the Mullerian inhibiting substance type 2 receptor (MISR2) and validate their activity in bioassays. We identify five compounds from a repurposed drug library that specifically induce MISR2 signaling, trigger regression of the Mullerian duct, and inhibit follicle activation. We test these compounds in vivo and show that they can repress folliculogenesis in mice and rats in an
Misr2
-dependent manner. These drugs may represent a class of ovarian regulators that inhibit preantral follicle activation and growth.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Natural enzymes are widely employed as powerful biocatalysts. However, their further application is limited by the intrinsic characteristics of enzymes. To overcome this drawback, nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking performance (defined as nanozymes) have attracted tremendous attention in recent decades. To date, over 50 kinds of nanomaterials have been found to possess inherent enzyme-mimetic properties. Among these, metal–nitrogen–carbon (M-N-C) nanozymes are the most promising nanomaterials due to their satisfactory activity, tunable configuration and chemical stability. Consequently, it is of great research value to focus on progress in this field. In this review, we systematically summarize recent advances in M-N-C nanozymes with various enzyme-like properties, including peroxidase-like, oxidase-like, catalase-like, superoxide dismutase-like and multiple enzyme-like performances. Furthermore, strategies for regulating enzyme-like activity and substrate specificity are comprehensively highlighted at the atomic level. The introduction of heteroatoms, rational design of the coordination environment and engineering of M-N-C nanostructures are discussed by combining experimental investigations with theoretical explorations. These approaches can unveil the origins of and provide insights into the enzyme-like mechanisms. We also review recent progress with M-N-C nanozymes for sensing and biomedical applications. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities for the development of advantageous M-N-C nanozymes are also proposed. This review is expected to provide inspiration and guidelines for further research on the rational design of perfect nanozymes.
Review on magnonics with engineered spin textures
Authors: Petti Daniela , Tacchi Silvia , Albisetti Edoardo 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Spin textures, such as non-uniform domain arrangements, domain walls and skyrmions are naturally occurring structures in magnetic materials. Recently, the unique properties of spin textures such as their reconfigurability, stability and scalability towards nanoscale dimensions, has sparkled the interests towards their use as active elements in spintronic devices. In the framework of magnonics, which aims to use spin waves (SWs) for carrying and processing information, using spin textures allows to harness an extremely rich phenomenology for designing new functionalities. In this review, we focus on the recent developments on the control and stabilization of engineered spin textures, and their applications in the field of magnonics. First, we introduce the main techniques used for stabilizing the spin textures and controlling their properties. Then we review the recent results on the use of engineered spin textures for guiding, emitting and manipulating SWs, and the recent proposals on the realization of complex functionalities using integrated spin-texture-based systems, which hint to possible future directions for technological prospects.
Switchable quantum anomalous Hall effect in a ferromagnetic topological crystalline insulating NpSb monolayer
Authors: Sun Wenli , Li Xinying , Li Bingyang , Zou Xiaorong , Huang Baibiao , Dai Ying , Niu Chengwang 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The combination of band topology and magnetic order provides an exciting platform for exploring prominent topological quantum effects, such as the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, which is well known to emerge when the ferromagnetic (FM) order is introduced in two-dimensional (2D) topological (crystalline) insulators. However, a topological phase transition between QAH insulators and magnetic topological (crystalline) insulators in 2D intrinsic magnets is seldom reported. Here, in contrast to previous magnetic doping, we predict that a switchable topological phase transition between a QAH insulator and a 2D topological crystalline insulator can emerge in an intrinsic FM NpSb monolayer via strain engineering. With the spin-up and spin-down manifolds being oppositely tunable, the calculated mirror Chern number, Chern number, and nontrivial edge states clearly confirm the topological phase transition as well as the QAH effect. Moreover, we reveal the feasibility of attaining the QAH effect while strain is introduced by an appropriate substrate. These results are of great scientific interest for exploring and understanding nontrivial topology in 2D magnets.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
The dual band filtering characteristics of a spoof surface plasmonic waveguide (WG) loaded with a composite slot structure are studied in the present paper. The proposed composite slot structure enables the plasmonic WG to work at dual bands in the microwave region, where the working bandwidth can be flexibly adjusted with a broad isolation band between them. In particular, the second bandwidth can be adjusted independently without affecting the first passband by controlling the special parameter of the composite slot. As a demonstration, the measurement results of the proposed prototype filter illustrate that the plasmonic filtering WG has a dual bandpass performance with excellent frequency selectivity, where the insertion loss of the dual-band filter is less than −3 dB in the frequency from 2.7 GHz to 6.7 GHz and 7.7 GHz to 9.1 GHz, and the stopband rejection level is lower than −10 dB from 6.9 GHz to 7.5 GHz. Compared with the traditional dual band plasmonic filtering WG, the proposed filter has compact physical size, lower insertion loss in the passband and stronger isolation ability between the two passbands.
Two-parameter landscape of transport efficiency in mesoscopic networks: transitions from the Braess to normal regimes without a congestion relaxation
Authors: Lobanov A D , Lobanova A D , Pupasov-Maksimov A M 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
This paper deals with the Braess paradox in quantum transport. The scattering matrix formalism is used to consider a two-parameter family of mesoscopic conductors with the topology of the classical Braess transport network. The study investigates the mutual influence of the congestion and smoothness of the system on the Braess behavior. Both the Braess paradox and normal transport regimes coexist within the two-parametric landscape under the same congestion.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) chalcogenides have attracted great interest from the scientific community due to their intrinsic physical–chemical properties, which are suitable for several technological applications. However, most of the reported studies focused on particular compounds and composition, e.g., MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2. Thus, there is an increased interest to extend our knowledge on 2D chalcogenides. Here, we report a density functional theory (DFT) screening of 2D coinage-metal chalcogenides (MQ

), where M = Cu, Ag, Q = S, Se, Te, x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, with the aim to improve our atomistic understanding of the physical–chemical properties as a function of cation (M), anion (Q), and composition (x). Based on 258 DFT calculations, we selected a set of 22 stable MQ

monolayers based on phonons analyses, where we identified 9 semiconductors (7 AgQ

Using all 258 systems, we found a logarithmic correlation between the average weighted bond lengths and effective coordination number of cations and anions. As expected, the monolayer cohesive energies increase with the radius of the Q species (i.e., from S to Te). Furthermore, an increase in the anion size diminishes the work function for nearly all MQ

Electrokinetic separation of cfDNA in insulator-based dielectrophoresis systems: a linear model of cfDNA and investigation of effective parameters
Authors: Abdollahi Azita , Shokouhmand Hossein 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In this study, a comprehensive numerical simulation was done to investigate the electrokinetic translocation of cfDNA molecule as well as the possibility of its detection and separation in insulator based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) systems. Modeling was done for the first time by solving the Poisson equation for the electrical potential, Naiver–Stokes (NS) equation for the fluid flow and energy equation for the heat transfer in the system and considering a coarse-grained bead-spring model to describe the conformational and geometrical changes of cfDNA molecule. The effect of the geometrical parameters of the system, the initial orientation of the molecule, electrical conductivity of the solution and zeta potential of the wall was investigated on the translocation and the minimum voltage required for cfDNA trapping. When the ratio of the inlet height to the constriction zone height is large enough, cfDNA molecules cannot pass through the nanopore and trap in the constriction zone. Also, it was found that the electrical conductivity of the solution is a limiting parameter to directly isolate cfDNA from pure plasma without dilution due to significant increase in the temperature of the system. Our results demonstrate the enormous potential of iDEP systems for rapid detection of cfDNA from diluted plasma under special electrical potential and geometrical parameters of the iDEP systems.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
The polar microstructure is a 10 μm aperiodic surface pattern, which is designed to achieve nanoscale resolution and applied in the precision measurement area. In this paper, an investigation of the major factors of a novel template-matching-based precision measurement method that integrates with the polar microstructure and computer vision (IPMCV) is proposed. In order to optimize the measurement performance of the IPMCV method, three crucial factors are determined according to the template-matching method: the size of the global image, the size of the template image and the number of interpolated sub-pixels. According to the measurement accuracy, the size of the global image has little influence on the position error, but significantly influences the standard deviation value of the error gradually. In addition, the size of the template image helps to significantly improve the measurement accuracy, and the increase in the number of interpolated sub-pixels increases the measurement accuracy within a certain range but has no effect afterward. The experimental results have great significance on the determination and optimization of parameters for the IPMCV method to achieve a better measurement performance.
Pulsed eddy current testing for gap measurement of metal casing
Authors: Chen Xingle , Niu Hang 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
A pulsed eddy current testing (PECT) method is proposed to measure the gap of non-ferromagnetic metal casing. Firstly, the detection sensitivity to the casing gap of the voltage signal induced respectively by time-harmonic excitation current and by pulsed excitation current are calculated theoretically and compared. Then the advantages of PECT method for gap measurement are discussed. Secondly, the difference curve of the time-domain induced voltage signal between two gaps near the nominal value is presented. And the value of the induced voltage signal corresponding to the peak time of the difference curve is extracted to serve as the signal characteristic. Furthermore, using a calibrated casing, the function relationship between the signal characteristic and the casing gap is derived by curve fitting. Finally, the casing gap can be determined rapidly through the induced voltage at the peak time. This paper provides a reliable non-destructive testing method for the casing gap measurement, and compared with the existing sinusoidal ECT method, the PECT method can significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the detection sensitivity to the casing gap.
Constructing MXene-PANI@MWCNTs heterojunction with high specific capacitance towards flexible micro-supercapacitor
Authors: Wang Qiangqiang , Fang Yongsheng , Cao Maosheng 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) are considered as the promising energy supply of miniaturized electronic devices. The electrode material, as one integral part, play a crucial role on the energy storage performance of MSCs. In our work, we constructed a heterojunction in MXene-PANI@MWCNTs (MPM) ternary composite, benefitting for the synergistic enhancement effect among MXene, polyaniline (PANI) and multiwall carbon nanotubes, an outstanding specific capacitance of 414 F g−1 (at 1 A g−1) has been achieved. MPM shows high capacitance retention at large current density (86.7%, at 10 A g−1) and long-term cycling stability of 90.4% for 10 000 cycles. Furthermore, we obtained MPM self-standing films, and constructed a flexible all-solid-state MSC based on the film electrode. A competitive charge storage capability of 30.2 mF cm−2 and long-term stability of 70.2% retention for 10 000 cycles was obtained in the MSC. Meanwhile, the MSC shows excellent flexibility, maintaining most capacitance under bending conditions. Moreover, using an integrated strategy, MSCs can obtain tunable voltages and currents that meet various practical requirements. All these results indicate that the MPM is an excellent charge storage material and will become a potential candidate for flexible energy-storage devices.
Experimental investigation of the electron sheath resonance (ESR) effect in parallel plate radio-frequency capacitively coupled plasmas
Authors: Ding Ling-ling , Lu Wen-qi , Zhang Quan-zhi , Xu Jun , Ding Zhen-feng , Wang You-nian 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
We have conducted a systematic experimental investigation on the electron heating mechanism named as electron sheath resonance (ESR) effect, with a parallel plate discharge configuration under various experimental conditions. In all conditions, a clear plasma density peak was observed at the magnetic field for ESR, providing a direct evidence for the effect. Further analysis suggests that the more significant ESR effect should appear at higher frequency, lower pressure discharges with larger electrodes. The results form a basis for further studies of the ESR effect, which is also meaningful to practical applications such as etching and thin film deposition processes.
