Published: September 2022

Abstract
Objectives The authors applied surgical techniques acquired during the use of endoscopic combined transseptal/transnasal approach to reduce approach-related morbidity and improve sinonasal outcomes.
Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of a prospectively collected database.
Setting The study setting involves a tertiary referral center.
Participants A total of 86 patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for newly diagnosed pituitary adenomas from April 2018 to March 2021 were included. Patients treated via the combined transseptal/transnasal approach served as the study group (n = 18); those treated via the bilateral transnasal approach comprised the control group (n = 68). From the control group, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was further performed to account for potential confounders and selection bias.
Main Outcome Measures Paired analysis was performed for pre- and 6-month-postoperative time points in study group, control group, and PSM control group. Olfactory function was evaluated by Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center (CCCRC) test, Cross-Cultural Smell Identification Test (CCSIT), and sinonasal outcomes were assessed by Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22).
Results In the study group, CCCRC (p = 0.517) and CCSIT (p = 0.497) did not show any significant difference before and after surgery. There was some improvement in the symptom score of SNOT-22, but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.115). In the control group adjusted with PSM, a significant decrease in olfaction (p = 0.047) was observed using CCCRC. The CCSIT score was also decreased but not significant (p = 0.163). Also, there was no difference in the improvement of SNOT-22 (p = 0.781).
Conclusion Our new surgical method preserves olfactory function without compromising surgical outcomes.

Published: September 2022

Experimental measurements of spatially resolved ultrafast dynamics of the critical surface in ultra-intense laser–solid interactions are essential for a proper understanding of the physical mechanism of the interaction. Resolving ultrafast motion at both the relevant length scales (micrometers) and timescales (femtoseconds) simultaneously has been a challenging task. Here, we demonstrate a novel technique for mapping the spatiotemporal dynamics of hot and solid dense plasma created by high contrast (picosecond contrast ∼10−9) femtosecond relativistic intensity laser pulses. This pump–probe Doppler spectrometry technique offers hundreds of femtosecond temporal resolution, together with a few micrometer spatial resolution across the transverse profile of the plasma. We present the evolution of the plasma surface critical for the probe pulse at the target front as well as the rear. Early time measurements (&lt; 5 ps) using this technique provide very important information about shock wave generation and propagation and the state of the target rear.
A new pulse electromagnet structure to model a transverse magnetic field to pick up the out-of-plane for laser-EMAT integrated system
Authors: Yuan Wei , Liu Ze , Zhao Pengfei , Huo Jiwei 
Published: September 2022

In order for an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) to be able to pick up the out-of-plane vibrations of ultrasonic waves generated by the laser and to facilitate the movement of the system, a new pulse electromagnet EMAT is proposed, which can be combined with a laser to form a new laser–pulse electromagnet EMAT integrated system. Because of the unique structure of the pulse electromagnet EMAT, it can not only generate a uniform transverse magnetic field in the shallow surface of the specimen just below the EMAT receiving coil but also leave enough space above the magnetic field to ensure the smooth radiation of the laser source on the specimen. The optimal parameters of the probe are determined by combining the finite element simulation model and the orthogonal analysis method. The simulation and experimental results show that the pulsed electromagnet can generate at least 0.22 T transverse magnetic field in the specimen when each coil of C-electromagnet, respectively, injects 20 A. The pulsed electromagnet combined with the EMAT coil is used to receive various modes of ultrasonic vibration velocity with the out-of-plane component. It lays a foundation for the research on the simultaneous detection of railhead surface and internal defects by using the new laser–pulse electromagnet EMAT integrated system through one scan.

Published: September 2022

Context Despite the absence of light within the body, the application of microscopy during stages of in vitro embryo production has led to the discovery of light irradiation effects on embryo preimplantation development. Aims To determine the optimal light irradiation wavelengths at various embryo stages for improving the preimplantation development of mouse embryos and the quality (total cell number) of blastocysts. Method All in vitro procedures of zygote or 2-cell embryo manipulation, embryo monitoring, and culture medium exchange were conducted under visible (390–750 nm), blue (445–500 nm), green (500–575 nm), yellow (575–585 nm), or red (620–750 nm) light irradiation wavelength. Key results We found that blue, green, and yellow light irradiation during in vitro blastocyst production from zygotes significantly improved blastocyst production and quality, compared to visible and red light irradiation. However, 2-cell embryos exposed to yellow light during in vitro blastocyst production produced significantly more high-quality blastocysts than did 2-cell embryos exposed to visible, blue, green, or red light. After exposure to blue and green – but not yellow – light during in vitro zygote manipulation, yellow light irradiation during embryo monitoring and culture medium exchange triggered significant retardation of preimplantation development. Conclusion These results demonstrate that yellow light irradiation during in vitro blastocyst production, regardless of embryo stage, improves preimplantation development of mouse embryos. Implications The present study will contribute to produce greater high-quality blastocysts and reduce experimental errors generated by light exposure during mouse embryo-related studies.

“Humourizing” the theatre of the absurd through reworking and (self-)translation
Authors: Ergil Başak 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The introduction of written dramatic forms to the oral, performative, and improvisational Turkish theatrical tradition was made through translations, a.k.a. reworkings, of Western canonical works. Reworkings of these works were followed by the production of indigenous texts in the Ottoman, and later Turkish Republican, period(s) and were inherently characterised by “a search of the own voice of the Turkish theatre,” in terms of its dramatic and performative aspects. This search was naturally based on a tension between the very dissimilar Western and Turkish theatrical canons and traditions, a tension which required the possibilities of successfully integrating them. The present research aims at illustrating how the theatre of the absurd was “humourised” by means of the reworkings and recanonisations of actor/director Ferhan Şensoy and the theatre company Tiyatrotem. The research concludes by the discussion of how this act of “humourising” contributed both to the release of this intercanonical tension and to the creation of “the own voice.”
Lost and found in humour self-translation
Authors: Takahashi Tomoko 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Humour translation is extremely difficult, especially between languages as linguistically and culturally distant as Japanese and English. Often, therefore, much is lost in translation, but at the same time, there is much to be gained. In this chapter, I examine humour translation based on my experience translating my own autobiography from Japanese to English. By so doing, I ask: What have I gained from humour self-translation despite what I have lost due to difficulties? Based on this inquiry, I describe two types of experience with humour self-translation: (1) battles against untranslatability, defeats, and possible wins and gains, and (2) creative rewriting or manipulations triggered by the “distance” resulting in gains. Firstly, self-translators’ struggles with humour self-translation may lead to their deeper understanding of the source text – and to their self-realization. Secondly, self-translators may go beyond the losses and (unexpectedly) achieve gains, thanks to the creativity found in the target language or inspired by the target audience. Such gains are possible often due to a higher level of freedom that self-translators enjoy.
How funny am I?
Authors: Venzo Paul , Petkovic David 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This paper explores and responds to the question: how funny am I in self-translation? Taking up Eco’s notion that translative processes involve negotiation (2004), the authors explore the way in which the self is negotiated in the process of moving across and between texts-in-translation. They examine and discuss examples of their own self-translation of short comedic forms of writing across English, Italian and Serbian. The similarities and differences in their approaches are used as a springboard for analysing how subjectivity informs and infuses the translation process. Following the work of Bhaba (1994), Braidotti (2011), Chiaro (2010), Palmieri (2018) and others, the author-translators uncover the importance of humour to multicultural, multi-lingual, hybrid and in-between identities. Through the collaborative practice of their writing and self-translation, they discover that humour functions as a drawbridge between languages, cultures and national identities: sometimes meeting, and sometimes not.
Second thoughts about second versions
Authors: Grutman Rainier 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This rejoinder proceeds in a dialectical fashion. For the sake of argument, the first part takes the opposite view of the thesis according to which the translator’s identity must modify the parameters of translating different forms of humour (comedy, satire, irony, wordplay). Upon reflection, it appears that self-translators also face the constraints inherent in this exercise, whether broader cultural transfers need to be re-contextualized or specific aspects raise questions of a linguistic or rhetorical nature. This observation allows for a clearer appreciation of the specificity of self-translation in a second part of the demonstration, where received notions such as agency or intention are examined anew. Agency is not unlimited, nor is access unmediated, but both are part of the cocktail of self-translation, whose main originality resides elsewhere, however: in the possibility of embarking on a translation before completing the first text, that is, self-translating “simultaneously.” The demonstration is illustrated with many examples, and due notice is taken of articles in this volume that deal with self-translated texts and their (re)writers.
A deep learning approach to real-time volumetric measurements without image reconstruction for cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Authors: Qi Yifan , Wang Fusheng , Cao Jane J , Li Yu Yulee 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Objective. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can measure ventricular volumes for the quantitative assessment of cardiac function in clinical cardiology. Conventionally, CMR volumetric measurements require image reconstruction and segmentation. There are limited clinical applications of real-time CMR for volumetric measurements because real-time images cannot provide sufficient quality for accurate segmentation. The presented work aims to develop a new deep learning approach to measuring ventricular volumes without image reconstruction and demonstrate that this ‘imageless’ approach would improve volumetric measurements with real-time CMR. Approach. We have developed a deep learning model for measuring ventricular volumes directly from real-time CMR raw data without image reconstruction. This novel ‘imageless’ deep learning model, not being as sensitive to image quality, provided reliable volumetric measurements for real-time CMR. To demonstrate ‘imageless’ volumetric measurements, we conducted a real-time CMR study with healthy volunteers. Several performance metrics, including mean absolute error (MAE), the Pearson correlation coefficient, and Bland–Altman analysis, were used to evaluate the proposed ‘imageless’ deep learning model in reference to U-net and fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) models based on conventional image reconstruction and segmentation. Main results. With the same raw data, the ‘imageless’ deep learning model gave a lower MAE (‘imageless’ ≤9.6 ml; ‘image-based’ ≥12.1 ml), a higher correlation coefficient (‘imageless’ ≥0.75; ‘image-based’ ≤0.51) and smaller measurement difference ranges in Bland–Altman analysis (‘imageless’ ≤23.1 ml; ‘image-based’ ≥33.8 ml). To achieve comparable performance, the ‘imageless’ deep learning model needed 2/3 of the raw data used in image reconstruction for U-net and FCNN models, indicating there was a gain in imaging acceleration for real-time CMR. Significance. We have demonstrated a novel deep learning framework that can provide reliable volumetric measurements from real-time CMR raw data without image reconstruction. This ‘imageless’ approach to real-time volumetric measurements will improve the quantitative assessment of cardiac function in clinical cardiology.
Spectral approaches in momentum space for dynamics of atoms in strong laser fields: application to long pulses and low-frequency regime

Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this work, we present in detail a novel approach to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in the momentum space (TDSE-



). It is based on the expansion of the electron wavepacket and the nonlocal interacting Coulomb potential in a Coulomb Sturmian basis. It allows a spectral treatment of the TDSE-



from which another formulation of our previous model potential is proposed. This latter enables us to go easily beyond the 1s + 2sp states, and accordingly, may help to have more insight on the role of the Coulomb potential or the atomic structure in the ionization process. In order to bring out the improvement of this approximation and as an illustration, the case of 3spd states supported by the Coulomb potential is derived analytically, leaving the other cases for later investigations. Physical observables such as oscillator strengths, bound states populations, ionization probabilities, energy spectra, momentum and energy-angle distributions, are described in detail and their formulas employed in our ab initio computations are given in compact matrix forms The calculations can be done either by using the ionized wave function or by projecting the wavepacket onto the incoming Coulomb wave function. For illustrative purpose, we apply these theories in the dipole approximation to two one-electron atomic targets initially prepared in the ground and excited electronic states, and driven by intense low-frequency electromagnetic fields. We consider several laser parameters for long pulses recently reported in the literature. Our results compare remarkably well with reference data of atomic structure, and their agreement with the atomic dynamics outcome of previous treatments is quite satisfactory.

AbstractIn this paper, we introducing fuzzy neutrosophic supra first countable (FNS - FCS), fuzzy neutrosophic supra second countable (FNS- SCS) and fuzzy neutrosophic supra compactness (FNS- compactness), fuzzy neutrosophic supraQμ- compactness (FNS -Qμ- compactness) in fuzzy neutrosophic supra topological space (FNSTS). we derive the union of two FNS – compact spaces is also FNS – compact space and similarly the union of two FNS -Qμ- compact spaces is also FNSQμ- compact space. Also we define some theorems using finite intersection property and productive property. Finally we observe that our notions preserve under one – one, onto and continuous mapping.

Identification of Cospectral Simple Jointed Kinematic Chains using Characteristic Polynomial of Degree Matrix and Structural Matrix
Authors: H Manikandan , Kaup Vijayananda , Babu Harish 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Different methods to address the isomorphism in kinematic chains existed earlier and is well reported. In all the methods, link-adjacency matrix (LAM) represents the structural information of a given kinematic chain. Having gathered a large collection of co-spectral chains belonging to a large number of chain categories possessing (containing up to 20 links and up to 13 degrees of freedom), the present work aims at addressing the isomorphism by developing and implementing a methodology for isomorphism based on characteristic coefficients of the degree matrix and structural matrix representations of a specified Simple Jointed Kinematic Chain (SJKC) being computed and comparing. While the above two tests proved to be successful in most cases, two instances of cospectral cases were discovered wherein the above polynomial-based tests failed to detect dissimilarity in the chain structures. These cases are reported in the paper.

Authors: Nithyalakshmi B. , Soundarya N , Praveen S 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The experimental work on characterization of biochar bricks as a construction material is summarized in this manuscript. This is an important topic to research due to the dearth of knowledge about biochar construction materials and their potential to reduce global warming. Biochar is a charcoal-like substance formed from organic matter decomposition in the absence of oxygen at high temperatures. The use of bio char in a range of applications will help in cutting down CO2 emissions, recycling of organic and plastic waste, and in creation of more jobs. Current applications of bio-char is limited to being used as Soil additives to promote water absorption, plaster to absorb humidity, and energy alternatives to replace fossil fuels. The present study attempts to characterize bio-char bricks for usage in construction. Two types of bio-char bricks were cast and compared to normal concrete bricks. The first set of bricks had 70% biochar and 30% cement, whereas the second set contained 45 percent biochar, 45 percent plastic, and 10% cement. The bricks were characterized using five tests: compressive strength, water absorption, hardness, flammability, and insulation value.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Few work concerned on the flexural strength of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)-aluminum fuselage frames with bolted splice joints used in aeronautical industry. To provide help for the design of CFRP aircraft strcutures, this paper investigated the flexural behavior of CFRP-aluminum fuselage frames with bolted splice joints experimentally. Firstly, CFRP-aluminum fuselage frames were fabricated with mid-span bolted splice joints. The joints comprised: reinforced or unreinforced aluminum splice plates bolted to the fuselage frames. The bolt diameters were 4.76mm and 6.35mm. Then, the effects of splice plate and bolt dimeter on flexural behavior of CFRP-aluminum fuselage frames with bolted splice joints were investigated through four-point bending test. It has been shown that the introduction of reinforced splice plate improves the structural load capacity. However, increasing bolt diameter lowers the flexural strength of CFRP-aluminum fuselage frames with bolted splice joints. This splice jointed structure is a representative part of the rear fuselage, and the experimental results will be commonly instructive for the the aeronautical CFRP joining applications.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Stretchable electronics have a wide range of potential applications in healthcare monitoring and human–machine interactions due to their softness, stretchability, and conformability. Serpentine interconnects integrating with inorganic functional materials play an important role in high-performance stretchable electronics. A lot of research has focused on how to improve the stretchability of flexible electronic devices, while ignoring the intrinsic electrical properties of serpentine wires. In this manuscript, the electrical performance of serpentine interconnects is investigated experimentally. Various structural forms of serpentine interconnects are prepared by photolithography and transfer printing techniques. The electrical properties of serpentine interconnects during stretching are systematically studied and summarized. Besides, a breathable substrate with good biocompatibility and stretchability is used. Based on these studies and the optimization of the design layout, we can guide the selection of wire structures or sensor structures in flexible electronics.
