Abstract
Purpose:
Three-dimensional surgical planning (3-DSP) is becoming common-place in the management of benign and malignant disease for oral and maxillofacial surgery practice within the last decade.1 Surgeons utilize a virtual “wrap” to preoperatively delineate and define maxillofacial tumor resection margins. The investigators hypothesized that the use of a wrap is a predictable method to obtain negative bony margins.
Methods:
The investigators implemented a retrospective chart review. The sample was composed of patients over the age of 18 treated at John Peter Smith Health Network and Parkland/UT Southwestern Medical Center who obtained 3-DSP for pathology of the head and neck, involving bone, with a virtual wrap utilized for bony margins. The proportion of cases was calculated, descriptive statistics reported, and binomial exact calculation was performed for confidence intervals. The primary variable analyzed was bony margin status on final histopathology, involved or uninvolved, based on the pathology report.
Results:
The sample was composed of 39 cases, one of which was excluded due to aborting the preplanned 3-DSP. Of the 38 included cases, one had involved bony margin on final histopathology (2.6%; 95% confidence limits: 0.1%, 13.8%). There were 16 malignant cases (42%) and 22 benign cases (58%). When stratified by pathology, 1 out of the 16 malignant cases (6.3% ; 95% confidence interval: 0.2%, 30%) and 0 out of the 22 benign cases (95% confidence interval: 0%, 15.4%) had an involved bony margin on final histopathology.
Conclusion:
The results of this preliminary study suggest three-dimensional surgical planning with wrap margins is a predictable method to obtain negative bony margins in benign and malignant disease of the maxillofacial complex. Further studies will focus on compiling prospective data to solidify the accuracy and predictability of using a wrap to obtain negative bony margins.

Abstract
The Antarctic environment has been used as a natural field laboratory to investigate the impacts of enhanced UV-B radiation over the polar terrestrial biota, marine life, and the cryosphere. UV-B increased levels occur due to the stratospheric ozone depletion detected since the early 80s’ decade. The real dimension of the ozone depletion threat to the Antarctic environments and the atmospheric chemistry remains uncertain. This work presents new pieces of evidence of this impact on individual aerosol particles sampled in West Antarctica, using a synchrotron-based multi-element microscopic/molecular speciation method. We used the Scanning Transmission X-ray microscopy with Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy combined with Computer-Controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy to identify the molecular changes in sea salt particles due to photolytic processes involving chlorine-enriched particles during the ozone depletion period since the 80´s decade. Combining our data with ice core records, we deduce that the modern effects of UV-B on the tropospheric chlorine geochemistry have no precedent for the Holocene.

Abstract
As per the data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), falls are one of the major reasons for unintentional deaths or injuries in elderly people. Even though there are a lot of fall detection methods and algorithms exist, there is no efficient artificial intelligence strategy for detecting falls. Various literature states that Fall Detection among Elderly Person (FDEP) provides the possibility of bringing up an efficient and cost-effective way to tackle this problem. This paper generated a signal-based image dataset, SimgFall from the existing accelerometer or gyroscope-based sensor data of the SiSFall dataset for early detection of fall to fasten the medical assistance process. This SimgFall data is proposed by the proposed FallCNN model, a novel deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based architecture that includes multiple folds of CNN network. These models utilize depth-wise convolution with varying dilation rates for efficiently extracting diversified features from the SimgFall dataset. 1992 signal-based images of which 498 are the samples collected for fall, jump, stumble and walk of four classes respectively. Further, performance evaluation on the generated dataset using different pre-trained and custom models has been analysed based on the loss and accuracy curve. The experimental results show that the highest classification accuracy (98%) is achieved using the proposed customized FallCNN model.

Abstract
We have successfully fabricated electrically conductive cotton fabrics with a low sheet resistance. The electrically conductive fabrics have attracted much attention as materials for flexible devices. We used N, N-dimethyl-formamide (DMF) as a solvent, in which single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were dispersed without any dispersants. The electrically conductive cotton fabrics were fabricated using a simple polydopamine (PDA)-assisted dip-and-dry method. The electrically conductive fabrics were characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The low sheet resistance of 9 ± 2 Ω/sq was achieved for electrically conductive cotton fabrics using DMF-SWCNT inks. Moreover, we demonstrated the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) using the fabricated electrically conductive cotton fabrics. The EMI SE and return loss were measured in the two frequency ranges (4–6 and 8–12 GHz) using waveguides and a vector network analyzer (VNA). The measured SE was about − 30 dB. The fabricated electrically conductive DMF-SWCNT-PDA cotton fabrics fulfilled the requirement for the practical EMI shielding.

Abstract
Fusion genes are recurrent molecular aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia, with significant diagnostic and therapeutic value. The identification of novel fusion genes provides advanced biomarkers for diagnosis and facilitates the discovery of drug targets. Here we report a male AML patient with presence of PIEZO1::CBFA2T3 and INO80C::SETBP1 fusion genes detected by RNA sequencing. As far as we know, it is the first time PIEZO1::CBFA2T3 and INO80C::SETBP1 are identified in AML patients.
Intrasexual Competition may be Greater between Unrelated Women than Men
Authors: Benenson Joyce F. , Markovits Henry 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Human males are considered to be more competitive than females. However, females must also compete for resources necessary for their own and their offsprings’ survival. Since females use more indirect forms of competition than males, comparing observable forms of competition may be misleading. One critical driver of competition is resource asymmetry. Since competition occurs primarily within sex, reactions to resource asymmetry with same-sex peers should provide an important measure of competitiveness. We asked 596 participants, 25 to 45 years of age with at least one child from three different countries to evaluate how most same-sex individuals would react to a target individual who had a valuable resource that the same-sex individuals did not have. Half the participants evaluated reactions to same-sex targets, while the other half evaluated reactions to other-sex targets. Participants reported that women would react more negatively than men to resource asymmetry with same-sex targets, but not other-sex targets. These results suggest that women can be even more competitive than men.
Carbon dioxide reduction by photosynthesis undetectable even during phytoplankton blooms in two lakes

Abstract
Lakes located in the boreal region are generally supersaturated with carbon dioxide (CO2), which emerges from inflowing inorganic carbon from the surrounding watershed and from mineralization of allochthonous organic carbon. While these CO2 sources gained a lot of attention, processes that reduce the amount of CO2 have been less studied. We therefore examined the CO2 reduction capacity during times of phytoplankton blooms. We investigated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) at times of blooms dominated by cyanobacteria (lake Erken, Sweden) or dominated by the nuisance alga Gonyostomum semen (lake Erssjön, Sweden) during two years. Our results showed that pCO2 and phytoplankton densities remained unrelated in the two lakes even during blooms. We suggest that physical factors, such as wind-induced water column mixing and import of inorganic carbon via inflowing waters suppressed the phytoplankton signal on pCO2. These results advance our understanding of carbon cycling in lakes and highlight the importance of detailed lake studies for more precise estimates of local, regional and global carbon budgets.

Abstract
Purpose
Through the comparative study of femoral neck system (FNS) and 3 cannulated screws (3CS) treatment of femoral neck fracture to analyze the actual clinical efficacy of FNS.
Methods
A total of 432 patients with femoral neck fractures treated between September 2019 and September 2021 were selected for the study. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into FNS group and 3CS group. The clinical data of the study included intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, duration of surgery, perioperative blood transfusion, postoperative hemoglobin drop, postoperative decreased albumin, and early postoperative complications (lower limb thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection), length of stay, Harris score, and mortality. The above data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 26.0.
Results
A total of 96 patients were included, followed for 5–10 months, with a mean follow-up of 6.1 months, including 67 in the FNS group and 29 in the 3CS group. The mean age of the FNS group and 3CS group was 58.54 ± 13.85 years and 50.62 ± 18.59 years, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in gender, laterality, low-energy injury, fracture type, number of underlying diseases, and injury time between FNS and 3CS groups. The duration of surgery the FNS group and the 3CS group were 85.0(50.0) and 72.5(55.5)(min), respectively, the postoperative hemoglobin drop were 15.35 ± 9.60 and 12.05 ± 9.38 (g/L), and the postoperative decreased albumin were 5.97 ± 3.76, 4.81 ± 2.53 (g/L), and the length of stay was 6.0 (3.0), 6.5 (9.0) (d), and there was no significant difference in the above four indicators (P > 0.05). intraoperative blood loss in FNS group and 3CS group were 100(100) and 35(81)(ml) (P < 0.05), respectively, and the intraoperative fluoroscopy times was 8.34 ± 2.87 and 18.66 ± 2.72 (P < 0.001). statistical difference. The average Harris scores of patients in the FNS group at 1, 3, and 6 months after operation were: 47.49 ± 12.18, 67.68 ± 14.51, 84.81 ± 16.72, and the mean Harris scores of patients in the 3CS group at 1, 3, and 6 months after operation were: 55.82 ± 8.86, 69.45 ± 6.92, 86.00 ± 10.78, Harris score was statistically significant at 1 month after operation, and the score in 3CS group was higher (P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups at 3 months and 6 months after operation (P > 0.05).
Conclusion
Both FNS and 3CS have the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, short hospital stay, and FNS and 3CS have similar curative effects at the 6-month follow-up. In addition, FNS can significantly reduce the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy, which is a feasible method for the treatment of femoral neck fractures.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Purpose:Flower strips have been shown to increase insect biodiversity and improve agricultural yields through increased pollination and pest predation. Less is known about their potential to increase soil organic carbon (SOC). We aimed to investigate the biomass production and SOC sequestration potential of flower strips as a sustainable management option of temperate agricultural soils.Methods:23 flower strips across varying soil types and climatic regions in Germany were sampled for aboveground and belowground peak biomass in order to estimate the annual carbon input to the soil. Those were used as 23 scenarios to model the potential SOC sequestration of the flower strips compared to a business-as-usual scenario for 1533 sites of the German Agricultural Soil Inventory using the RothC model.Results:On average, flower strips sequestered 0.48 +/- 0.36 Mg C ha-1 year-1 in the initial 20-year period after establishment. Converting 1 % of the total German cropland area into flower strips would thus lead to a mitigation of 0.24 Tg CO2 year-1, which equals 0.4 % of current agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. We found a negative correlation between C sequestration rate and the number of plant species in the flower strips, mainly related to grasses outcompeting herbaceous species.Conclusion:Flower strips are one overlooked option for increasing SOC stocks of croplands that has multiple benefits for agro-ecosystems. However, within a flower strip it might not be possible to maximise both plant biodiversity and SOC sequestration.

Abstract
Hyperhydricity can affect the development of plant morphology. A better understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes of hyperhydric plants is needed to predict and control the occurrence of hyperhydryc conditions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the role of oxidative stress in hyperhydricity. To this end, the anatomical, physiological and biochemical responses to oxidative stress in shoots of Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl were compared during the in vitro-ex vitro transition. For this propose, we used shoots grown in two different culture systems: liquid static culture medium and temporary immersion system. Our results showed that hyperhydricity was associated with oxidative stress in the shoots. In hyperhydric shoots chlorophyll content decreased when cultured in liquid static culture medium. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide content and malondialdehyde, as well as the activities of catalase and enzymes of ascorbate-glutathione cycle (ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate reductase) were increased in these shoots. On the other hand, scanning electron microscopy showed that the leaves of hyperhydric shoots exhibited anatomical changes in the stomata of the plants, whereas the leaves of normal shoots showed normal structural development. Finally, normal shoots showed high survival rate and allowed better adaptation of the plantlets in the greenhouse.
Determining Motor Failure Using Power Output and Wavelength

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Industrial motors are commonly used in significant industrial buildings. When a motor fails during operation, it could cause a big loss for companies. Different methods are being used to determine motor failure before it occurs. For example, companies use temperature stickers to read the motor's temperature, which would determine the end of motor’s life. A method that we will use to predict motor failure is using Frequency Wave to Predict Motor Failure. We employ approximately 400 motors with different Horsepower (2–5 HP). A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is used to control the speed of each motor in the facility. The main idea for this research is to predict motor failure before it occurs by using an oscilloscope to determine abnormal frequency waves. The wave tests conducted are Voltage Frequency Waves, Resistance Frequency Waves, and Current Frequency Waves. Although other factors could affect the data, multiple motors will be used, and the average will be taken for the final data results. Examples of factors that could affect the data are the drive pulleys, conveyor belts (type of belt), bearings, and the amount of load (packages) applied on the conveyor belts.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
IntroductionTriple negative breast cancer is characterized by rapid growth and dissemination. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition facilitates tumor progression and cellular stemness status. Statins are affordable medicines with traditional action as inhibitors of the cholesterol synthesis pathway, as well as of protein prenylation, attributing a pleiotropic role in cellular behavior and in anti-tumor treatment. Methods & ResultsThe effect of simvastatin on the aggressive characteristics of the Hs578T TNBC cell line was examined, in doses corresponding to 85%, 70% and 50% of cellular viability. Our results indicate that the treatment near to the IC50 of simvastatin could attenuate the aggressive features of Hs578T cells. On the other hand, at concentrations below IC50 simvastatin exerted a totally different effect since it enhanced cellular migration and increased the expression of stem cell and EMT markers. Simvastatin also seems to exert a suppressive effect on TNBC-specific miRNA expression in a dose-independent manner.ConclusionsSimvastatin at high dose (IC50) exhibits anti-cancer effect, but at low dose (IC15) exerts a tumor-promoting role on Hs578T cells. Concerns may arise for the tumor drug effect in patients and especially for tumor cells where drug bioavailability could be low, as the pharmacological response may be different from the expected.

Abstract
The genus Helicoverpa (Hardwick) includes several species of agricultural pests around the world. The polyphagous pest Helicoverpa armigera reported in several countries in South America in 2013, was reported in Puerto Rico in 2014. However, information about the impact of this invasive species on field crops is still needed. The objective of this study was to document the occurrence of H. armigera and H. zea in corn, soybean, and sunflower in the southern municipalities of Puerto Rico. Year-round pheromone trapping of adult males combined with larval sampling was conducted from 2018-2021. The abundance of moths detected in the trapping indicated an increase in the population from October to March, and Juana Diaz had a high occurrence of Helicoverpa spp. than Salinas. The proportion of H. armigera/H. zea and detection of congeneric hybrids were assessed based on genital morphology and DNA analysis. Neither H. armigera nor expected hybrids between H. zea and H. armigera were detected in the present study. The susceptibility of H. zea populations to the insecticides Spinetoram, Emamectin benzoate, Chlorantraniliprole, and Esfenvalerate was assessed, and an overall significant effect of insecticide susceptibility was detected. Chlorantraniliprole and Emamectin benzoate had the highest performance. These results of this study, performed in one of the largest winter nursery breeding operations in the United States, contribute to the IPM/IPM programs to Helicoverpa spp. located in the southern municipalities of Puerto Rico. In addition, and validate information to be considered in mitigation plans, in the scenario of an invasion of H. armigera in the continental U.S.

Abstract
A procedure for defining virtual spaces, and the periodic one-electron and two-electron integrals, for plane-wave second quantized Hamiltonians has been developed and demonstrated using full configuration interaction (FCI) simulations and variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) circuits on Quantinuum's ion trap quantum computers accessed through Microsoft's Azure Quantum service. This work is an extension to periodic systems of a new class of algorithms in which the virtual spaces were generated by optimizing orbitals from small pairwise CI Hamiltonians, which we term as correlation optimized virtual orbitals with the abbreviation COVOs. In this extension, the integration of the first Brillouin zone is automatically incorporated into the two-electron integrals. With these procedures we have been able to derive virtual spaces, containing only a few orbitals, that were able to capture a significant amount of correlation. The focus in this manuscript is on comparing the simulations of small molecules calculated with plane-wave basis sets with large periodic unit cells at the Γ-point, including images, to results for plane-wave basis sets with aperiodic unit cells. The results for this approach were promising as we were able to obtain good agreement between periodic and aperiodic results for an LiH molecule. Simulations performed on the Quantinuum H1-1 quantum computer were able to produce surprisingly good energies, reproducing the FCI values for the 1 COVO Hamiltonian to within 11 milliHartree (6.9 kcal/mol), when corrected for noise.
