CISCA has a new publication, Acoustical Terms & Definitions, to add to your technical and training library.

This paper was motivated by the articles `Same or different – that is the question' in CrystEngComm (July 2020) and `Change to the definition of a crystal' in the IUCr Newsletter (June 2021). Experimental approaches to crystal comparisons require rigorously defined classifications in crystallography and beyond. Since crystal structures are determined in a rigid form, their strongest equivalence in practice is rigid motion, which is a composition of translations and rotations in 3D space. Conventional representations based on reduced cells and standardizations theoretically distinguish all periodic crystals. However, all cell-based representations are inherently discontinuous under almost any atomic displacement that can arbitrarily scale up a reduced cell. Hence, comparison of millions of known structures in materials databases requires continuous distance metrics.

The two macros below introduce new syntax for adding definitions to more than one 'when' determinant value at the same time. The first macro overloads 'extend' keyword and the second is the equivalent for 'when' keyword.

A use example:

extend [HUGE, BIG] packet {
    // definitions that pertain to these subtypes
};

The above code would be expanded in the following (naive) way:

extend HUGE packet {
    // definitions that pertain to these subtypes
};
extend BIG packet {
    // definitions that pertain to these subtypes
};


The macros code:

define 'statement>
       "extend ['name>,...] 'name> ({;...})" as computed {
    for each in 'names> do {
        result = appendf("%sextend %s %s %s;",result,it,'name>,);
    };
    result = appendf("{%s}",result); // required only for versions 6.1.1 or earlier
};

define 'struct_member>
       "when ['name>,...] 'name> ({;...})" as computed {
    for each in 'names> do {
        result = appendf("%swhen %s %s %s;",result,it,'name>,);
    };
    result = appendf("{%s}",result); // required only for versions 6.1.1 or earlier
};

Techniques for reducing the number of shots required by a radiation beam writing tool to write a pattern, such as fractured layout design, onto a substrate. One or more apertures are employed by a radiation beam writing tool to write a desired pattern onto a substrate using L-shaped images, T-shaped images, or some combination of both. By reducing the number of shots required to write a pattern onto a substrate, various implementations of the invention may reduce the write time and/or write complexity of the write process.

To determine if the International Hypoglycaemia Study Group (IHSG) level 2 low glucose definition can identify clinically relevant hypoglycemia in clinical trials and offer value as an end point for future trials.

States publish a wealth of data about their English Learner students’ academic achievement and other outcomes such as graduation rates. But the answer to the question “Who is an EL?” is not always the same. This brief explains how the EL subgroup varies across states and types of data, and why it is important to understand these differences when making decisions about how ELs and schools are faring.

Elevated blood pressure (BP) has long-term influence on the atherosclerotic process. The relative predictive ability of the standard BP definition endorsed by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program and the recently proposed 2 simplified definitions has not been studied.

Simplified pediatric BP tables predict risk of high adult arterial stiffness as well as the complex table does. These simple screening tools could be used for identifying pediatric subjects at risk and for intervening to improve adult cardiovascular outcomes. (Read the full article)

The use of electronic health record systems to measure adolescent health care quality requires an operational definition of sexual activity for measuring recommended health promotion activities such as Chlamydia screening and others related to reproductive health.

This study is the first to compare operational definitions of sexual activity by using information electronically abstracted from electronic health records of adolescent females. Our research supports the use of broader operational definitions of sexual activity for health quality measurement. (Read the full article)

Several countries have been setting up strategic roadmaps to support marine biotechnologies that could drive innovation and help address the global sustainability goals of food, energy, and health. This report identifies and begins to address challenges facing cooperation on marine biotechnology across countries.

This document revises the OECD's statistical definition of biotechnology, which had last been reviewed in 2008, and proposes the adoption of a statistical definition of nanotechnology in the same format.

This paper takes stock of informal employment in Russia analysing its incidence and determinants. Using the regular 2003-11 waves and an informality supplement of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) it develops several measures of informal employment and demonstrates that the incidence varies widely across the different definitions.
