AbstractThis study aimed to elucidate the utility of a novel ultrasound-based technique, shear wave dispersion slope (SWDS) analysis, which estimates tissue viscosity, for evaluating the severity of myocardial inflammation. Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) at different disease phases [3-week (acute phase): n = 10, 5-week (subacute phase): n = 9, and 7-week (late phase): n = 11] were developed in male Lewis rats. SWDS was measured in the right and the left ventricular free walls (RVFW and LVFW) under a retrograde perfusion condition. Histological myocardial inflammation was evaluated by CD68 staining. The accumulation of CD68-positive cells was severe in the myocardium of the EAM 3-week group. The median (interquartile range) SWDS of RVFW was significantly higher in the EAM 3-week group [9.9 (6.5–11.0) m/s/kHz] than in the control group [5.4 (4.5–6.8) m/s/kHz] (P = 0.034). The median SWDS of LVFW was also significantly higher in the EAM 3-week group [8.1 (6.4–11.0) m/s/kHz] than in the control group [4.4 (4.2–4.8) m/s/kHz] (P = 0.003). SWDS and the percentage of CD68-positive area showed a significant correlation in RVFW (R2 = 0.64, P < 0.001) and LVFW (R2 = 0.73, P < 0.001). This study showed that SWDS was elevated in ventricular walls with acute inflammation and also significantly correlated with the degree of myocardial inflammation. These results suggest the potential of SWDS in estimating the histological severity of acute myocarditis.

AbstractMoiré heterostructures produced by twisted heterojunction of transition-metal dichalcogenides are recognized as novel platforms for unique and tunable means of controlling the optical phenomena including photoluminescence (PL). Despite some interesting results on the PL peak shifts by the heterojunction at twist angles (θ) far from 0 or 60°, all of them are redshifts. Here, we first report blue shift of energy and strong enhancement of intensity in the PL by twisted heterojunction of MoS2 and WS2 monolayers (MLs) in a particular range of θ. The PL peak energy of the heterobilayer steeply increases (about 120 meV) as θ gets closer to 15 or 52° from 3 or 57°, respectively and reaches a plateau at around 2.01 eV in the θ range from 15 to 52°, higher than that of the separate MoS2 or WS2 ML. The PL intensity shows a similar θ-dependent behavior with its magnitude in the plateau being ∼4 or 80 times larger than that of the WS2 or MoS2 ML, respectively. These novel light-emission behaviors are well explained with reference to theoretical predictions on the avoided crossing between the intralayer and interlayer excitons. Our findings highlight extendable tuning and remarkable enhancement of light emission from two-dimensional semiconductors by a simple approach of twisted heterojunction in a proper θ range, very useful for their optoelectronic device applications.
Structure and morphology of 2H-MoTe2 monolayer on GaAs(111)B grown by molecular-beam epitaxy

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe structure and morphology of monolayer 2H-MoTe2 on GaAs(111)B grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy, electron diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The MoTe2 film grown and annealed under the Te-rich condition is mainly composed of a pure 2H phase, while, under the Te-deficient conditions, the 2H-MoTe2 phase begins to evolve into nanowire-like structures owing to the desorption of Te. The 2H-MoTe2(0001) film on GaAs(111)B exhibits two types of energetically favorable epitaxial orientations; one is a perfect alignment of [11$$\overline{2}$$

AbstractThe airborne nature of coronavirus transmission makes it critical to develop new barrier technologies that can simultaneously reduce aerosol and viral spread. Here, we report nanostructured membranes with tunable thickness and porosity for filtering coronavirus-sized aerosols, combined with antiviral enzyme functionalization that can denature spike glycoproteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in low-hydration environments. Thin, asymmetric membranes with subtilisin enzyme and methacrylic functionalization show more than 98.90% filtration efficiency for 100-nm unfunctionalized and protein-functionalized polystyrene latex aerosol particles. Unfunctionalized membranes provided a protection factor of 540 ± 380 for coronavirus-sized particle, above the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s standard of 10 for N95 masks. SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein on the surface of coronavirus-sized particles was denatured in 30 s by subtilisin enzyme-functionalized membranes with 0.02-0.2% water content on the membrane surface.
Nonlocal interaction engineering of 2D roton-like dispersion relations in acoustic and mechanical metamaterials

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe interior of the synthetic unit cells and their interactions determine the wave properties of metamaterials composed of periodic lattices of these cells. While local interactions with the nearest neighbors are well appreciated, nonlocal beyond-nearest-neighbor interactions are often considered as a nuisance. Here, by introducing a versatile effectively two-dimensional metamaterial platform for airborne sound and elastic waves, we exploit nonlocal effects as a powerful design tool. Within a simplified discrete model, we analytically show that the lowest band can be engineered by Fourier synthesis, where the $$N$$
N
-th order Fourier coefficient is determined by the $$N$$
N
-th nearest-neighbor interaction strength. Roton-like dispersion relations are an example. The results of the discrete model agree well with a refined model and with numerical calculations. In addition, we engineer the passage of waves from a local metamaterial into a nonlocal metamaterial by carefully tailoring the transition region between the two.
Insights into the molecular triggers of parosmia based on gas chromatography olfactometry
Authors: Parker Jane K. , Kelly Christine E. , Gane Simon B. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background
Parosmia is a debilitating condition in which familiar smells become distorted and disgusting, with consequences for diet and mental health. It is a feature of post-infectious olfactory loss, particularly resulting from COVID-19. There is currently little understanding of its pathophysiology, and the prevailing hypothesis for the underlying mechanism is aberrant growth of regenerating olfactory sensory neurons after damage.

Methods
We use gas-chromatograph olfactometry to individually present components of a complex olfactory mixture as a rapid screening tool for assessment of both quantitative and qualitative olfactory dysfunction in those with and without parosmia. This allows them to report the associated sensory effects and to identify those molecules which are altered or parosmic in nature.

Results
Here we show 15 different molecular triggers of this symptom. These trigger molecules are common to many in the parosmic volunteer group and share certain characteristics such as extremely low olfactory threshold and common molecular structure

Conclusions
We posit that specific highly odour-active molecules are the cause of the parosmic symptom in most cases and initiate the sense of disgust, suggesting that parosmia is, at least in part, a receptor-level phenomenon.

Published: May 2022

This paper presents a new miniature Microstrip Bandpass Filter optimized and validated for DCS (Digital Cellular System) Band. The proposed filter is based on a Microstrip resonator. Each port has a step impedance feed line that can be used to adapt the filter's input impedance to the characteristic impedance Z0. The suggested filter is installed on a low-cost FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4, a thickness of 1.6 mm, a loss tangent tan (δ) = 0.025, and a metal thickness of t = 0.035 mm. It has a bandwidth of 1.68GHz to 2.05GHz. Two electromagnetic solvers are used to optimize and validate this filter. The whole dimensions of the final circuit are 33.6x40 mm2.
This filter is suitable for mobile communication.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Nerve Tumors
Authors: Behzad Barzin , Dianat Saeed 
Published: May 2022

AbstractNerve tumors are uncommon soft tissue neoplasms predominantly arising from peripheral nerve sheath and Schwann cells. We review the manifestations of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, concentrating on distinguishing imaging features of schwannomas versus neurofibromas with an emphasis on treatment implications. Nevertheless, there is often an overlap between the imaging presentation of these two conditions, making the accurate radiologic diagnosis challenging. Therefore, tissue sampling is often needed for a definitive histologic diagnosis. Treatment planning largely depends on symptoms, location of the lesion, and underlying risk factors. Three major syndromes, neurofibromatosis type 1, type 2, and schwannomatosis, predispose patients to peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs), with particular concern about the malignant subtype expression. In patients with suspected PNSTs, correlation of imaging findings with clinical findings and genetic tests is helpful for a more accurate diagnosis and disease management. Some imaging features on magnetic resonance imaging and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography can be helpful to differentiate malignant from benign subtypes.

Image plates (IPs) are a popular detector in the field of laser driven ion acceleration, owing to their high dynamic range and reusability. An absolute calibration of these detectors to laser-driven protons in the routinely produced tens of MeV energy range is, therefore, essential. In this paper, the response of Fujifilm BAS-TR IPs to 1–40 MeV protons is calibrated by employing the detectors in high resolution Thomson parabola spectrometers in conjunction with a CR-39 nuclear track detector to determine absolute proton numbers. While CR-39 was placed in front of the image plate for lower energy protons, it was placed behind the image plate for energies above 10 MeV using suitable metal filters sandwiched between the image plate and CR-39 to select specific energies. The measured response agrees well with previously reported calibrations as well as standard models of IP response, providing, for the first time, an absolute calibration over a large range of proton energies of relevance to current experiments.
Vertical structure of conventionally neutral atmospheric boundary layers
Authors: Liu Luoqin , Stevens Richard J. A. M. 
Published: May 2022

Significance
The presented model describes the vertical structure of conventionally neutral atmospheric boundary layers. Due to the complicated interplay between buoyancy, shear, and Coriolis effects, analytical descriptions have been limited to the mean wind speed. We introduce an analytical approach based on the Ekman equations and the basis function of the universal potential temperature flux profile that allows one to describe the wind and turbulent shear stress profiles and hence capture features like the wind veer profile. The analytical profiles are validated against high-fidelity large-eddy simulations and atmospheric measurements. Our findings contribute to the scientific community’s fundamental understanding of atmospheric turbulence with direct relevance for weather forecasting, climate modeling, and wind energy applications.
The right to a fair trial and the right to interpreting
Authors: Ng Eva 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The right to a fair trial for defendants in the criminal process is internationally recognised as a fundamental
human right that, among others, includes the right of defendants to have the free assistance of an interpreter if they cannot
understand or speak the language used in court. The failure to provide the required interpreting service or a deficiency in the
service provided can be raised as grounds of appeal for potentially denying or compromising defendants’ right to a fair trial.
This article discusses the limitations of chuchotage, a mode of interpreting commonly used in domestic courts.
These limitations potentially compromise interpreting accuracy, and, specifically, the absence of a record of the interpretation
can spell problems for appellate courts dealing with appeals advanced on the ground of the deficient interpreting provided in this
mode. This study reviews four such appeals in Hong Kong and reveals inconsistencies in the appellate courts’ rulings and the
reasoning behind their decisions. This study argues that these inconsistencies can lead to problems with implementing the
principle of stare decisis, while at the same time sending confusing messages about the standard of interpreting
required to safeguard a defendant’s right to a fair trial and about the future use of chuchotage in court.
On the creative use of metonymy
Authors: Littlemore Jeannette 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Antonio Barcelona’s work has advanced our understanding of the role played by pragmatics in the production and
comprehension of metonymy. Much of his work has focused on playful uses of metonymy, which involve creative extensions of attested
metonymic relationships, particularly in the pursuit of adversarial humour. Whilst there has been extensive work on the creative
use of metaphor, very few studies have explored the range of ways in which metonymy is used creatively. In this article, I analyse
creative uses of metonymy from a range of sources including film reviews, text messaging, art, advertising, cinema and literature
in order to identify the different forms that creative uses of metonymy can take. In the process of analysing these different
creative uses of metonymy, I address the following questions: What is the difference between ‘novelty’ and ‘creativity’ and what
is the relationship between them, in the context of metaphor and metonymy? To what extent and in what ways are the principles
underpinning the identification of creative metonymy, analogous to those used in the identification of creative metaphor? At what
level of abstraction should the creativity be identified in each case? Can and should we distinguish between ‘creative metonymy
per se, and creative uses of metonymy? At what point can we say that a new metonymic mapping has been created as
opposed to a creative use of an existing mapping? What affordances does metonymy offer for creative use and how do these compare
with the affordances that are offered by metaphor?
Metonymichitting
Authors: Radden Günter 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe chapter is concerned with the metonymic use ofhitin expressions such ashit the road. The metonymic nature underlying these expressions has already been noticed byRuhl (1989)andHirtle (2013). The present study focuses on the mapping of the literal use ofhitas the metonymic source to its target. The metonymic source is characterized by the use ofhitas an Achievement verb in sentences such asThe ball hit the window. The metonymic target inhit the roadcomprises two events, motion to a goal and a subsequent action. The relevant part of meaning resides in the unexpressed action. The action is inferred from the close relationship between a type of thing and potential actions afforded by the thing. InLet’s hit the road, the type nounroadaffords metonymic “routes” to three motivated kinds of actions: ‘travelling’, ‘beginning a journey’ and ‘leaving’.
Forty years of metonymy
Authors: Muñoz Carmen Portero 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis study contributes to the existing body of research that aims at showing the impact of metonymy in grammar. In this case, new evidence will be provided by exploring the English pseudo-partitive construction of time measurement, illustrated byten years of marriage. By using corpus data, it will be shown that metonymy is at work in many instantiations of this construction. The second noun in these expressions shouldprima faciebe semantically eligible for time measurement, that is, a temporal entity or a second-order entity. However, this is not the only type of noun that appears in the second noun slot, which can also be occupied by first and third-order entities as well as places. The presence of an expression of time-measurement in the first part of the construction coerces different ontological categories into a second-order reading and can be regarded as a guide for the correct interpretation when the second noun includes several facets, illustrating the cognitive process of cueing.
Onomatopoeia and metonymy
Authors: Benczes Réka , Szabó Lilla Petronella 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
When it comes to onomatopoeia, it is often claimed that such words are the epitome of sound symbolism, as the link between form and meaning is felt to be “natural”. Yet, this is quite far from the case: onomatopoeic words do need to conform to the phonological and morphological restrictions of a respective language. Due to these restrictions, onomatopoeic forms can vary greatly with regard to the degree to which they are felt to be imitative of a particular sound, making it quite a challenge to succinctly delimit or define this category of words. Accordingly, the paper investigates the role of onomatopoeic formations in English and provides a novel definition of onomatopoeia that is able to encompass both novel and lexicalised examples. In order to do so, the paper advocates a metonymy-based approach to onomatopoeic forms.
While it is often stated within cognitive linguistics that metonymy is fundamental in language and cognition (see Barcelona, 2019 for a recent overview), few researchers have done so much to justify this claim as Antonio Barcelona. The present paper is in honour of this lifelong achievement.
Metonymy and the polysemy ofCovidin Italian
Authors: Pannain Rossella , Pace Lucia di 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAmong the linguistic consequences of the current pandemic, we focus on the usage of the lexemeCovid(-19)in Italian, both in the language of the daily press and in institutional/technical language. More specifically, we analyze the range of its polysemy and the role of metonymy in the semantic shifts that have produced it. The salience of the highly infectious pathogen, which also prompted its metaphorical reconceptualization, triggered the first extension of the term, originally denoting the disease, to predominantly denote the virus that causes it. This has also resulted in an almost complete shift of grammatical gender from feminine to masculine. Beside the primary metonymic shift,Covid(-19)developed a variety of further meanings which highlight different components of the emergingcovid frame. The linguistic data are drawn fromLa Repubblica, a daily general-interest newspaper, and from a selection of texts by major governmental and health institutions.

Abstract
The potential and research surrounding metal hydride (MH) based thermal energy storage is discussed, focusing on next generation thermo-chemical energy storage (TCES) for concentrated solar power. The site availability model to represent the reaction mechanisms of both the forward and backward MH reaction is presented, where this model is extrapolated to a small pilot scale reactor, detailing how a TCES could function/operate in a real-world setting using a conventional shell & tube reactor approach. Further, the important parameter of effective thermal conductivity is explored using an innovative multi-scale model, to providing extensive and relevant experimental data useful for reactor and system design. Promising high temperature MH material configurations may be tuned by either destabilisation, such as using additions to Ca and Sr based hydrides, or by stabilisation, such as fluorine addition to NaH, MgH2, or NaMgH3. This versatile thermodynamic tuning is discussed, including the challenges in accurately measuring the material characteristics at elevated temperatures (500 –700 °C). Attention to scale up is explored, including generic design and prototype considerations, and an example of a novel pilot-scale pillow-plate reactor currently in development; where materials used are discussed, overall tank design scope and system integration.
Discrete curvature on graphs from the effective resistance*
Authors: Devriendt Karel , Lambiotte Renaud 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis article introduces a new approach to discrete curvature based on the concept of effective resistances. We propose a curvature on the nodes and links of a graph and present the evidence for their interpretation as a curvature. Notably, we find a relation to a number of well-established discrete curvatures (Ollivier, Forman, combinatorial curvature) and show evidence for convergence to continuous curvature in the case of Euclidean random graphs. Being both efficient to approximate and highly amenable to theoretical analysis, these resistance curvatures have the potential to shed new light on the theory of discrete curvature and its many applications in mathematics, network science, data science and physics.
