Exact simulation of normal tempered stable processes of OU type with applications
Authors: Sabino Piergiacomo 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe study the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process having a symmetric normal tempered stable stationary law and represent its transition distribution in terms of the sum of independent laws. In addition, we write the background driving Lévy process as the sum of two independent Lévy components. Accordingly, we can design two alternate algorithms for the simulation of the skeleton of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The solution based on the transition law turns out to be faster since it is based on a lower number of computational steps, as confirmed by extensive numerical experiments. We also calculate the characteristic function of the transition density which is instrumental for the application of the FFT-based method of Carr and Madan (J Comput Finance 2:61–73, 1999) to the pricing of a strip of call options written on markets whose price evolution is modeled by such an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck dynamics. This setting is indeed common for spot prices in the energy field. Finally, we show how to extend the range of applications to future markets.
Gilbertaria, a first crustose genus in the Sphaerophoraceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota) for Catillaria contristans, Toninia squalescens and related species
Authors: Svensson Måns , Fryday Alan M. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractLecideoid lichen-forming fungi are a large, heterogeneous group that includes many species described during the nineteenth century that are of unclear taxonomic status. We revise such a group, the species of which have previously been treated under the much-misunderstood names Catillaria contristans or Toninia squalescens, and use a seven-locus phylogeny to determine its phylogenetic position. We found strong support for a previously unrecognized monophyletic lineage within the Sphaerophoraceae, comprising five phylogenetic species, and describe the new genus Gilbertaria to accommodate them. The new genus is characterized by a crustose growth form, 1-septate ascospores, thick ((1.5–)2–3(–4) μm wide) paraphyses and asci of the Biatora-type. We revise the nomenclature and give new delimitations and descriptions of the Northern Hemisphere species Gilbertaria contristans comb. nov., G. holomeloides comb. nov., G. squalescens comb. nov. and describe the new species G. astrapeana from the Falkland Islands.
The role of humility in Chief Executive Officers: a review
Authors: Brunzel Johannes , Ebsen Daniel 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHumility, defined as a multidimensional construct comprising an accurate assessment of one’s characteristics, an ability to acknowledge limitations and strengths, and a low self-focus, is a complex trait to potentially counterbalance detrimental effects of “negative” personal traits (e.g., narcissism), thereby making it relevant to researchers and practitioners in Management and Psychology. Whereas the study of the humility construct has become ubiquitous in Social Psychology, to our best knowledge, a review of the effects of humility in the contexts of company leaders (i.e., Chief Executive Officers) is lacking. Our systematic review suggests that CEO humility, directly and indirectly, affects a variety of individual, team, and organizational level constructs. Implications for research and practice are discussed, providing a future agenda for the construct to reach its full potential despite its relative novelty.
Right Heart Function in Cardiorenal Syndrome
Authors: Kramer Tilmann , Brinkkoetter Paul , Rosenkranz Stephan 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Since CRS is critically dependent on right heart function and involved in interorgan crosstalk, assessment and monitoring of both right heart and kidney function are of utmost importance for clinical outcomes. This systematic review aims to comprehensively report on novel diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms that are gaining importance for the clinical management of the growing heart failure population suffering from CRS.

Recent Findings
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) in patients with heart failure is associated with poor outcome. Although systemic venous congestion and elevated central venous pressure have been recognized as main contributors to CRS, they are often neglected in clinical practice. The delicate hemodynamic balance in CRS is particularly determined by the respective status of the right heart.

Summary
The consideration of hemodynamic and CRS profiles is advantageous in tailoring treatment for better preservation of renal function. Assessment and monitoring of right heart and renal function by known and emerging tools like renal Doppler ultrasonography or new biomarkers may have direct clinical implications.

Published: September 2022

AbstractPurposeThis Delphi panel study assessed the level of consensus between medical oncologists on the clinical management of patients with early-stageEGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsA modified two-round Delphi approach was used. A scientific committee comprised of medical oncologists developed an online questionnaire. Delphi panel experts rated their level of agreement with each questionnaire statement on a 9-point Likert scale. The questionnaire included 36 statements from 3 domains (clinical management of early-stage NSCLC: 15 statements; role of adjuvant therapy in early-stage NSCLC: 9 statements; and role of adjuvant therapy in early-stage NSCLC with sensitizingEGFRmutation: 12 statements).ResultsIn round 1, consensus was reached for 24/36 statements (66.7%). Nine statements that did not achieve consensus after the first round were evaluated in round 2, and none of them reached consensus. Overall, 84.4% of the panelists agreed thatEGFRmutation testing should be done after surgery. Consensus was not achieved on whether the implementation ofEGFRmutation testing in resected early-stage NSCLC could limit the use of adjuvant osimertinib. The panelists recognized the rationale for the use of osimertinib in the adjuvant scenario (88%) and 72% agreed that it may change the treatment paradigm in stage IB–IIIAEGFR-mutated NSCLC. Consensus was not reached on the inconvenience of prolonged duration of osimertinib.ConclusionsThis Delphi study provides valuable insights into relevant questions in the management of early-stageEGFR-mutated NSCLC. However, specific issues remain unresolved. The expert consensus emphasizes the role of adjuvant treatment with osimertinib in this scenario.

Published: September 2022

AbstractTo reduce the number of sedentary people, an improved understanding of effects of exercise in this specific group is needed. The present project investigates the impact of regular aerobic exercise uptake on body image, and how this effect is associated with differences in interoceptive abilities and affective response to exercise. Participants were 29 sedentary adults who underwent a 12-week aerobic physical activity intervention comprised of 30–36 sessions. Body image was improved with large effect sizes. Correlations were observed between affective response to physical activity and body image improvement, but not with interoceptive abilities. Explorative mediation models suggest a neglectable role of a priori interoceptive abilities. Instead, body image improvement was achieved when positive valence was assigned to interoceptive cues experienced during exercise.

Biliatresone: progress in biliary atresia study
Authors: Zhu Jia-Jie , Yang Yi-Fan , Dong Rui , Zheng Shan 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Biliary atresia (BA) is one of the main causes of neonatal end-stage liver disease. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, most children with BA will develop irreversible liver fibrosis within the first two months. While current theorized causes of BA include viral infection, immune disorders, and genetic defects, the comprehensive etiology is still largely unknown. Recently, biliatresone attracted much interest for its ability to induce BA in both zebrafish and mice, so we summarized the latest progress of biliatresone research in BA and tried to answer the question of whether it could provide further clues to the etiology of human BA.

Data sources
We conducted a PubMed search for any published articles related to the topic using search terms including “biliary atresia”, “biliatresone”, “GSH”, and “HSP90”. Relevant data were extracted from the original text or supplementary materials of the corresponding articles.

Results
Biliatresone had shown its unique toxicity in multiple species such as zebrafish and mice, and pathogenic factors involved included glutathione (GSH), heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and the related pathways. In combination with epidemiological evidence and recent studies on the intestinal flora in biliary atresia, a new pathogenic hypothesis that the occurrence of biliary atresia is partly due to biliatresone or its structure-like compounds depositing in human body via vegetables or/and the altered intestinal flora structure can be tentatively established.

Conclusions
Based on the existing evidence, we emphasized that GSH and HSP90 are involved in the development of BA, and the maternal diet, especially higher vegetable intake of Asian women of childbearing age, accompanied by the altered intestinal flora structure, may contribute to the occurrence of biliary atresia and the higher incidence in the Asia group. However, the evidence from large sample epidemiological research is necessary.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe digitization of some of the processes carried out in an archaeological excavation is changing the way of working at the site. Today, new technologies coexist with traditional methodologies. The study of stratigraphy can combine drawings of profiles and plans, the Harris Matrix diagram, as well as digitized files that perform a complete record of the stratigraphic sequence. However, this information is usually unaggregated from the rest of the information system that makes up the archaeological record. In this paper, we present an integrated software tool and the associated methodology to record, store, visualize and analyze the 3D stratigraphy of a site. The implementation uses spatial databases to store information of a heterogeneous nature and game engines for the visualization and interaction with this information. During the excavation process, the strata are scanned using the Tof technology, which is available in many smartphones. The resulting 3D model of the stratum, once uploaded to the software system, allows us to visualize the sequence of strata incorporating the findings into their original arrangement. Some additional tools, such as the scrollbar, help to perform a temporal analysis of the site. The result is a 4D interactive stratigraphy tool, which together with the Harris Matrix, complements the archaeological record and facilitates the work to archaeologists. This methodology also allows to speed up the on-site work and the subsequent analysis, while improving the user experience with the 3D archaeological site replica.
Investigation of Strain-Temperature Cross-Sensitivity of FBG Strain Sensors Embedded Onto Different Substrates

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe strain-temperature cross-sensitivity problem easily occurs in the engineering strain monitoring of the self-sensing embedded with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. In this work, a theoretical investigation of the strain-temperature cross-sensitivity has been performed using the temperature reference grating method. To experimentally observe and theoretically verify the problem, the substrate materials, the preloading technique, and the FBG initial central wavelength were taken as main parameters. And a series of sensitivity coefficients calibration tests and temperature compensation tests have been designed and carried out. It was found that when the FBG sensors were embedded on different substrates, their coefficients of the temperature sensitivity were significantly changed. Besides, the larger the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of substrates were, the higher the temperature sensitivity coefficients would be. On the other hand, the effect of the preloading technique and FBG initial wavelength was negligible on both the strain monitoring and temperature compensation. In the case of similar substrates, we did not observe any difference between temperature sensitivity coefficients of the temperature compensation FBG with one free end or two free ends. The curves of the force along with temperature were almost overlapped with minor differences (less than 1%) gained by FBG sensors and pressure sensors, which verified the accuracy of the temperature compensation method. We suggest that this work can provide efficient solutions to the strain-temperature cross-sensitivity for engineering strain monitoring with the self-sensing element embedded with FBG sensors.
Electronic structure, bonding characteristics, and mechanical behaviors of a new family of Si-containing damage-tolerant MAB phases M5SiB2 (M = IVB—VIB transition metals)
Authors: Ni Na , Zhang Hanchao , Zhou Yanchun 
Published: September 2022

AbstractMAB phases are layered ternary compounds with alternative stacking of transition metal boride layers and group A element layers. Until now, most of the investigated MAB phases are concentrated on compounds with Al as the A element layers. In this work, the family of M5SiB2 (M = IVB—VIB transition metals) compounds with silicon as interlayers were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) methods as potential MAB phases for high-temperature applications. Starting from the known Mo5SiB2, the electronic structure, bonding characteristics, and mechanical behaviors were systematically investigated and discussed. Although the composition of M5SiB2 does not follow the general formula of experimentally reported (MB)2zAx(MB2)y (z = 1, 2; x = 1, 2; y = 0, 1, 2), their layered structure and anisotropic bonding characteristics are similar to other known MAB phases, which justifies their classification as new members of this material class. As a result of the higher bulk modulus and lower shear modulus, Mo5SiB2 has a Pugh’s ratio of 0.53, which is much lower than the common MAB phases. It was found that the stability and mechanical properties of M5SiB2 compounds depend on their valence electron concentrations (VECs), and an optimum VEC exists as the criteria for stability. The hypothesized Zr and Hf containing compounds, i.e., Zr5SiB2 and Hf5SiB2, which are more interesting in terms of high-temperature oxidation/ablation resistance, were found to be unfortunately unstable. To cope with this problem, a new stable solid solution (Zr0.6Mo0.4)5SiB2 was designed based on VEC tuning to demonstrate a promising approach for developing new MAB phases with desirable compositions.

Published: September 2022

AbstractMajor sporting events were suspended during the most acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Competitions are resuming with enhanced hygiene protocols and altered mechanics. While risks for players and staff have been studied, the impact of large-scale tournaments on the communities that host them remains largely unstudied. CONMEBOL Copa América is one of the first wide-scale international tournaments to be conducted in its original format since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament saw 10 national teams compete in four Brazilian cities during a period of heightened viral transmission. The analysis of over 28,000 compulsory PCR tests showed that positive cases did not lead to the uncontrolled spread of the disease among staff and players. More importantly, the data indicate that locally hired staff were not exposed to increased risk while working. The Copa América experience shows that international sporting competitions can be conducted safely even under unfavourable epidemiological situations.

Authors: Khamisi S. , Lundqvist M. , Rasmusson A. J. , Engström B. E. , Karlsson F. A. , Ljunggren Ö. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose
Vitamin D and osteoporosis in Graves’ disease (GD) have been examined in cross-sectional studies with divergent results. Here, we prospectively studied vitamin D metabolism and bone health in patients with newly diagnosed GD.

Methods
Thirty consecutive patients with de novo overt thyrotoxicosis diagnosed with GD were included. At diagnosis, none of the patients were treated with vitamin D or anti-osteoporotic drugs. All patients were initially treated with antithyroid drugs. Blood samplings were taken at baseline and at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment start. Serum levels of 25OHD3, 1,25OH2D3, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and C-terminal telopeptides of Type I collagen (CTX-I) were analysed. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline, and 1 and 2 years after treatment initiation.

Results
At diagnosis, patients with GD did not have vitamin D deficiency. There were no significant correlations between levels of 25OHD3 and thyrotoxicosis. Upon treatment of the thyrotoxicosis, serum calcium fell transiently, and PTH and 1,25OH2D3 increased. 25OHD3 fell within the normal range and stabilised at 6 months. CTX-I fell over 12 months, BMD increased significantly up to 2 years, p = 0.002, < 0.001 and 0.005 in the spine, left total hip and left femoral neck, respectively.

Conclusions
The present data underline that thyrotoxicosis has a negative impact on bone health and demonstrate fine-tuned dynamics in bone and vitamin D metabolism. Upon treatment, bone health improved over a follow-up period of 24 months despite rising PTH. Increased conversion of 25OHD3 to 1,25OH2D3 occurs during treatment of GD.
Effect mechanism of nitrogen injection into fire-sealed-zone on residual-coal re-ignition under stress in goaf

Published: September 2022

AbstractCoal is the one of foundations of energy and economic structure in China, while the unsealing of coal mine fires would cause a great risk of coal re-ignition. In order to explore the influence of pressure-bearing state on the re-ignition characteristics for residual coal, the uniaxial compression equipped with a temperature-programmed device was built. The scanning electron microscope, synchronous thermal analyzer and Fourier transform infrared absorption spectrometer was applied to investigate the microscopic structure and thermal effect of the coal samples. Moreover, the microscopic effect of uniaxial stress on coal re-ignition is revealed, and the re-ignition mechanism is also obtained. As the uniaxial stress increasing, the number, depth and length of the fractures of the pre-treated coal increases. The application of uniaxial stress causes the thermal conductivity to change periodically, enhances the inhibition of injecting nitrogen on heat transfer and prolonges the duration of oxidation exothermic. The content of oxygen-containing functional groups has a high correlation with apparent activation energy, and coal samples at 6 MPa is more probability to re-ignite while the fire zone is unsealed. Uniaxial stress could control the re-ignition mechanism by changing the structure of fractures and pores. The side chains and functional groups of coal structure are easier to be broken by thermal-stress coupling. The higher the ·OH content, the more difficult coal samples would be re-ignited. The research results would lay a solid theoretical foundation for the safe unsealing of closed fire-areas underground, tighten the common bond between the actual industry and the experimental theory in closed fire-areas underground, and provide the theoretical guidance for coal re-ignition preventing.
Energy-Shaping Controllers for Soft Robot Manipulators Through Port-Hamiltonian Cosserat Models
Authors: Caasenbrood Brandon , Pogromsky Alexander , Nijmeijer Henk 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this work, we discuss the application of energy-based controller design for under-actuated soft robot manipulators. The continuous dynamics of the soft robot are modeled through the differential geometry of Cosserat beams. Using a finite-dimensional truncation, the system can be written as a reduced port-Hamiltonian model that preserves the passivity condition. Then, a model-based controller is introduced that produces a local minimizer of closed-loop potential energy for the desired end-effector configuration. The stabilizing control utilizes an energy-based approach and exploits the passivity of the soft robotic system. The effectiveness of the energy-based controller is demonstrated through extensive simulations of various soft robotic systems that share a resemblance with biology. All software and numerical studies are provided in an open-access SOROTOKI toolkit written in Matlab.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe management and analytics of big data generated from IoT sensors deployed in smart buildings pose a real challenge in today’s world. Hence, there is a clear need for an IoT focused Integrated Big Data Management and Analytics framework to enable the near real-time autonomous control and management of smart buildings. The focus of this paper is on the development and evaluation of the reference architecture required to support such a framework. The applicability of the reference architecture is evaluated by taking into account various example scenarios for a smart building involving the management and analysis of near real-time IoT data from 1000 sensors. The results demonstrate that the reference architecture can guide the complex integration and orchestration of real-time IoT data management, analytics, and autonomous control of smart buildings, and that the architecture can be scaled up to address challenges for other smart environments.
