Interactions of nitric oxide molecules with pure and oxidized silver clusters Agn±/AgnO± (n=11–13): A computational study
Authors: Fernández Eva M. , Balbás Luis C. 
Published: July 2022

In this work, we have studied, within density functional theory, the interaction of NO with pure and oxidized silver clusters, both anionic and cationic, composed from 11 to 13 Ag atoms. In that size interval, shell closing effects are not expected, and structural and electronic odd–even effects will determine the strength of interaction. First, we obtained that species Agn± and AgnO± with odd number of electrons (n = 12) adsorb NO with higher energy than their neighbors (n = 11 and 13). This result is in agreement with the facts observed in recent mass spectroscopy measurements, which were performed, however, at finite temperature. The adsorption energy is about twice for oxidized clusters compared to pure ones and higher for anions than for cations. Second, the adsorption of another NO molecule on AgnNO± forms Agn(NO)2±, with the dimer (NO)2 in cis configuration, and binding the two N atoms with two neighbor Ag atoms. The n = 12 species show the higher adsorption energy again. Third, in the absence of reaction barriers, all complexes Agn(NO)2± dissociate spontaneously into AgnO± and N2O, except the n = 12 anion. The maximum high barrier along the dissociation path of Ag13(NO)2− is about 0.7 eV. Further analysis of projected density of states for Ag11−13(NO)x± (x = 0, 1, 2) molecules shows that bonding between NO and Ag clusters mainly occurs in the energy range between −3.0 and 3.0 eV. The overlap between 4d of Ag and 2p of N and O is larger for Ag12(NO)2± than for neighbor sizes. For n = 12, the d bands are close to the (NO)2 2π orbital, leading to extra back-donation charge from the 4d of Ag to the closer 2π orbital of (NO)2.

Published: July 2022

Background Termination of pregnancy (ToP) was decriminalised in Queensland, Australia, in December 2018. Although approximately 14 000 terminations are performed in Queensland annually, decriminalisation had addressed a known barrier to ToP access by supporting the legal right to access and enabling safe and regulated public pathways to ToP care. The post-decriminalised ToP experience in Queensland is unknown. Therefore, this study explored the reported reasons clients access information and support from an all-options pregnancy counselling service in Queensland with the aim of identifying the facilitators and barriers accessing ToP that remain post-decriminalisation in Queensland. Methods A two-part qualitative conventional and directed content analysis approach guided by the Socioecological Model was used to examine counsellor notes on interactions with clients (n = 1933) between December 2018 and June 2020 at an all-options pregnancy counselling service in Queensland. Findings Key reasons for contacting the service were for financial assistance, ToP information, and support for decision making. Facilitators and barriers affecting ToP access interconnected across the Socioecological Model levels highlighting affordability, violence, stigma, knowledge, and information as key factors influencing ToP access post-decriminalisation in Queensland. Conclusions Inclusive multisectoral action to support reproductive autonomy is needed in Queensland. Following decriminalisation, cost, stigma, and intimate partner violence continue to impede access to safe, compassionate, and timely abortion care. Future models of care must eliminate these barriers by developing public models of service provision, investing in workforce development, fully utilising the capacity of that workforce, and creating stronger connections between sexual and reproductive health and intimate partner violence services.
From remote control to tweets
Authors: Arzık-Erzurumlu Özüm , Yilmaz Gamze 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study examined the role Twitter reactions play in (re)shaping the quality criteria in TV interpreting (TVI)
during the Oscars ceremony in Turkey, extending over a ten-year period. The secondary goal of this study was to shed light on the
extent to which tweets affected the interpreting practice, recruitment of interpreters, and the discourse about TVI in general.
The thematic analysis of the tweets showed that the viewers generally criticized interpreters based on their delivery, use of
voice, and word choices. Complementary interviews conducted with TV interpreters and one executive revealed that tweets were
instrumentalized by executives and recruiters both in real time and during the recruitment process; in this way they became a
quality instrument with which to evaluate TV interpreters’ performance. The findings are discussed in the light of the literature
on TVI and are used to advance both practical and theoretical implications for the practice of TVI.
Gravitational entropy in Szekeres class I models
Authors: Pizaña Fernando A , Sussman Roberto A , Hidalgo Juan Carlos 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Developing a self-consistent notion of gravitational entropy in the context of cosmological structure formation has been so far an elusive task. Various theoretical proposals have been presented, initially based on Penrose’s Weyl curvature hypothesis, and variations of it. A more recent proposal by Clifton, Ellis, and Tavakol (CET) considered a novel approach by defining such entropy from a Gibbs equation constructed from an effective stress–energy tensor that emerges from the ‘square root’ algebraic decomposition of the Bel–Robinson tensor, the simplest divergence-less tensor related to the Weyl tensor. Since, so far all gravitational entropy proposals have been applied to highly restrictive and symmetric spacetimes, we probe in this paper the CET proposal for a class of much less idealized spacetimes (the Szekeres class I models) capable of describing the joint evolution of arrays of arbitrary number of structures: overdensities and voids, all placed on selected spatial locations in an asymptotic ΛCDM background. By using suitable covariant variables and their fluctuations, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive CET entropy production to be a negative sign of the product of the density and Hubble expansion fluctuations. To examine the viability of this theoretical result we examine numerically the CET entropy production for two elongated over dense regions surrounding a central spheroidal void, all evolving jointly from initial linear perturbations at the last scattering era into present day Mpc-size CDM structures. We show that CET entropy production is positive for all times after last scattering at the precise spatial locations where structure growth occurs and where the exact density growing mode is dominant. The present paper provides the least idealized (and most physically robust) probe of a gravitational entropy proposal in the context of structure formation.

Abstract
In this paper, AlN films grown by magnetron sputtering method have been proposed as the gate insulator layer of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) to decrease gate leakage current and suppress the interface trap. The effect of the temperature of substrate on the quality of AlN films have been investigated. By inserting the thin AlN film (35 nm) as a gate insulator layer, the on-state resistance of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs decrease from 11.1 Ω mm to 10.3 Ω mm @V
g = 0 V, the current collapse decreases from 16.6% to 3.2%, the gate leakage can be reduced from 1.2 × 10−1A mm−1 to 4.4 × 10−6A mm−1 @V
g = 2 V by five orders of magnitude, and the fast interface states disappear and the normal trap density decreases from 0.96–1.3 × 1013 cm−2eV−1 to 1.3–3.4 × 1012 cm−2 eV−1, proving that magnetron-sputtered AlN is an effective way to improve the performance of GaN HEMTs.
Logical OR operation and magnetic field sensing based on layered topology
Authors: Sui Junyang , Zhang Dan , Zhang Haifeng 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
A one-dimensional magnetized InSb photonic crystals layered topology (PCLT) proposed in this paper can realize the functions of logic OR operation and magnetic field sensing. In the proposed PCLT, under the transverse magnetic polarization, the value and frequency of the absorption peak (AP) can be controlled by the external magnetic fields and has a high-quality factor (Q), thus OR logical operation can be achieved. Additionally, since InSb has a magneto-optical effect under magnetic fields, the parity of the structure of the PCLT which adds InSb as defect layers can be broken. Electromagnetic waves obtain nonreciprocity when propagating in opposite directions within the PCLT, which means that logical operation and magnetic field sensing based on AP can be obtained on the forward and backward scales. For the detection, on the forward scale, optimum performances of Q, sensitivity (S), the figure of merit, and detection limit are 62 372.09, 0.0169 (2πc/d)/T, 4225 T−1, 1.2 × 10−5 T, and for the backward detection, the corresponding values are 63 626.25, 0.0225 (2πc/d)/T, 5200 T−1, 1 × 10−5 T. The designed PCLT is innovative in multi-functional and multi-scale, having certain research value and prospects.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Management of left-sided accessory pathways (APs) is based on catheter ablation through an antegrade or retrograde approach. Both are safe and effective but are associated with exposure to x-rays; however, recipients of ablation are generally young. We sought to evaluate the impact of the approach chosen on dose–area product (DAP). A total of 95 patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation of a left-sided AP between January 2011 and January 2020 were included. The primary endpoint was the radiation dose received by the patient. Secondary endpoints were procedural success and complication and recurrence rates. The mean age of the study population was 34.3 ± 16.6 years. The antegrade transseptal approach was used in 63.5% of cases. By multivariate analysis, the antegrade transseptal approach was associated with a 53% reduction in DAP (p < 0.001). The radiation dose received was also significantly associated with body mass index and total fluoroscopy time (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in other secondary endpoints between approaches. The use of an antegrade transseptal approach is associated with a significant reduction in DAP compared with the retrograde approach, and procedural success and complication and recurrence rates are similar.

Abstract
This study investigated the direct synthesis of submillimeter-sized few-layer tungsten disulfide (WS2) and tungsten sulfoselenide (WS0.3Se1.7) using the mist chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method as a channel layer for metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs).

were deposited on thermally grown SiO2 and mist-CVD-grown high-κ amorphous aluminum titanium oxide coated on p+-Si substrates by an intermittent mist supply in a closed quartz tube from (NH4)2WS4 dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Further, the furnace temperatures, supply/storage times of the precursor mist per cycle, and precursor concentration were considered variables. Consequently, few-layer WS2 and WS0.3Se1.7 with grain sizes of 700–800 μm were obtained on the high-κ a-Al0.74Ti0.26O

dielectric layers through adjustments to the deposition conditions. Subsequently, this few-layer WS2 and WS0.3Se1.7 were applied as channel layers in MOSFETs, which showed n- and p-channel behaviors using gold and platinum source/drain electrodes, respectively. Further, average mobilities of ∼52 and ∼41 cm2 V−1 s−1 were obtained with a threshold voltage of −0.2 (0.3) V and on-off ratios of ∼1 × 106 and ∼6 × 105 in n-WS2 and p-WS0.3Se1.7 channel FETs, respectively. Moreover, this n- and p-channel FETs were used to design an electrically isolated complementary inverter circuit, and a gain of 4–5 was obtained. The findings of this study suggest that mist CVD can be a consistent manufacturing technique for both the channel and gate insulating layers applied in FETs.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed investigation of trapping effect in AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors based on the pulsed current–voltage characterization, drain voltage transient (DVT) measurement, and capacitance deep-level transient spectroscopy (C-DLTS). By monitoring the DVTs at various filling voltages and temperatures, the properties of three electron traps were obtained with the DVT measurements. Specifically, the energy levels of the former two traps were determined to be 0.28 and 0.48 eV, which was confirmed by the C-DLTS measurement performed on the same device. In addition, a third temperature-independent trap located in the GaN buffer was observed only with the DVT measurement, indicating the advantage of transient curves measurement in characterizing the traps insensitive to temperature. The combined measurements demonstrate the correlation of different techniques, which allows identifying the same trap levels to investigate the physical origin of traps.
A nonlinear time delay control influence in simulation aircraft tail contain a vertical cantilever beam
Authors: Bauomy H S , EL-Sayed A T 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Nonlinear time delay saturation controller (NTDSC) is used to minimize the vibrations of a vertical cantilever beam simulated as an airplane tail within harmonic excitation force. In the case of primary and 1:2 internal resonance as a simultaneous resonance case, an analytic solution is obtained by employing the multiple time scale perturbation technique to solve the nonlinear differential equations and modeling the system with NTDSC. Time histories and Poincare portraits were created to demonstrate the system without and with controller. The time-history response, as well as the impacts of the parameters on the system and controller, were simulated numerically using the MATLAB program. A good match is found when the approximate solutions are compared to the numerical simulations via the Runge–Kutta method fourth-order (RK4). The stability investigation of the steady state solution in the studied simultaneous resonance case is reviewed and analyzed via the Routh-Huriwitz approach. The impact of controller parameters and time delays on system response curves are examined. Also, the operation’s safe zone is established from the outcomes of the effect via various values of time delays on the system after adding the control scheme. The numerical and analytical solutions at time-history were compared using the MATLAB program to confirm their comparability. The outcomes of this study were used to develop a theoretical foundation for the system’s design and construction. A comparison is made with recently released papers to appear the difference between this study and the others.

Abstract

Objective. Exercise-induced muscle fatigue is a complex physiological phenomenon involving the central and peripheral nervous systems, and fatigue tolerance varies across individuals. Various studies have emphasized the close relationships between muscle fatigue and the brain. However, the relationships between the resting-state electroencephalogram (rsEEG) brain network and individual muscle fatigue tolerance remain unexplored. Approach. Eighteen elite water polo athletes took part in our experiment. Five-minute before- and after-fatigue-exercise rsEEG and fatiguing task (i.e. elbow flexion and extension) electromyography (EMG) data were recorded. Based on the graph theory, we constructed the before- and after-task rsEEG coherence network and compared the network differences between them. Then, the correlation between the before-fatigue rsEEG network properties and the EMG fatigue indexes when a subject cannot keep on exercising anymore was profiled. Finally, a prediction model based on the before-fatigue rsEEG network properties was established to predict fatigue tolerance. Main results. Results of this study revealed the significant differences between the before- and after-exercise rsEEG brain network and found significant high correlations between before-exercise rsEEG network properties in the beta band and individual muscle fatigue tolerance. Finally, an efficient support vector regression (SVR) model based on the before-exercise rsEEG network properties in the beta band was constructed and achieved the accurate prediction of individual fatigue tolerance. Similar results were also revealed on another 30 subject swimmer data set further demonstrating the reliability of predicting fatigue tolerance based on the rsEEG network. Significance. Our study investigates the relationship between the rsEEG brain network and individual muscle fatigue tolerance and provides a potential objective physiological biomarker for tolerance prediction and the regulation of muscle fatigue.

Abstract
Fully suppressing edge-localized modes (ELMs), e.g., with resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs), is essential to reach and sustain high-performance steady-state H-mode plasmas because large ELMs can significantly reduce the lifetime of divertor components in future tokamak reactors. RMP-driven ELM suppression in KSTAR has been modeled by coupling the neoclassical transport code PENTRC to the nonlinear 3D MHD code JOREK. We have found that the radial transport from the combined effects of the kink-peeling, tearing response, and neoclassical toroidal viscosity can explain the pedestal degradation observed in experiments. In addition, it has been found that the RMP response can increase the inter-ELM heat flux on the lower outer divertor by redistributing the heat transport between the divertor plates. In addition to the degraded pedestal, ELM suppression is also attributable to the RMP-induced mode interactions. While the linear stability of peeling-ballooning mode (PBMs) improves owing to the degraded pedestal, the PBM and RMP interaction increases the spectral transfer between edge harmonics, preventing catastrophic growth and the crash of unstable modes. Here, it turns out that the magnetic islands near the pedestal top can play a vital role in mediating the mode interactions.

Published: July 2022

AbstractPurposeFactors associated with burnout in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) pharmacy leadership positions were examined during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.MethodsA questionnaire was distributed to all pharmacy executives of the VHA healthcare system. It collected demographic and employment characteristics, career satisfaction and work-related variables, indicators of burnout using validated single-item measures adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychosocial and work-related variables. A χ2 test with Bonferroni correction was used to evaluate the data. Burnout was defined as a score of 4 or greater on either of the 2 single-item validated statements adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.ResultsIn total, 407 (of 1,027; 39.6%) VHA pharmacy leaders representing Veterans Integrated Service Network pharmacy executives, chiefs of pharmacy, associate chiefs of pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient supervisors completed the survey. The overall prevalence of burnout was 68.6% using the aggregate measure of emotional exhaustion or depersonalization. Pharmacy leaders who worked more than 60 hours a week reported significantly greater rates of burnout than those who worked 40 to 60 hours a week (86.7% vs 66.9%, χ2 = 7.34, degrees of freedom = 1, P &lt; 0.05). Those experiencing increased workload related to COVID-19 also reported high burnout rates (72.1%, χ2 = 16.40, degrees of freedom = 1, P &lt; 0.001). Burnout scores were similar across groups when respondents were stratified by leadership position, gender, age, or years in position.ConclusionAs of March 2021, two-thirds of pharmacy leaders were experiencing burnout. It is important for healthcare system leadership to identify patterns of burnout among their pharmacy leaders to ensure a productive and sustainable workforce.
GLOBE: a contrastive learning-based framework for integrating single-cell transcriptome datasets
Authors: Yan Xuhua , Zheng Ruiqing , Li Min 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIntegration of single-cell transcriptome datasets from multiple sources plays an important role in investigating complex biological systems. The key to integration of transcriptome datasets is batch effect removal. Recent methods attempt to apply a contrastive learning strategy to correct batch effects. Despite their encouraging performance, the optimal contrastive learning framework for batch effect removal is still under exploration. We develop an improved contrastive learning-based batch correction framework, GLOBE. GLOBE defines adaptive translation transformations for each cell to guarantee the stability of approximating batch effects. To enhance the consistency of representations alignment, GLOBE utilizes a loss function that is both hardness-aware and consistency-aware to learn batch effect-invariant representations. Moreover, GLOBE computes batch-corrected gene matrix in a transparent approach to support diverse downstream analysis. Benchmarking results on a wide spectrum of datasets show that GLOBE outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in terms of robust batch mixing and superior conservation of biological signals. We further apply GLOBE to integrate two developing mouse neocortex datasets and show GLOBE succeeds in removing batch effects while preserving the contiguous structure of cells in raw data. Finally, a comprehensive study is conducted to validate the effectiveness of GLOBE.
