Abstract
PURPOSE Prepubescent body fat percentage (BFP) is associated with puberty onset; however, the association between the timing of puberty onset and BFP remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether and how the timing of puberty onset is associated with various anthropometric measures, and to investigate the critical time period of the BFP transition before and after puberty. METHODS The Taiwan Pubertal Longitudinal Study (TPLS) has a multicenter, population-based prospective cohort and was established in July 2018 at 4 pediatric departments. We included girls aged 6-14 years and boys aged 9-17 years evaluated as having puberty onset and excluded those with precocious puberty diagnosis. The anthropometric measures were collected every 3 months. The main outcome was age at puberty onset. Data were analyzed between July 2018 and September 2020. RESULTS For 153 girls and 83 boys, BFP was significantly related to puberty onset for girls. Longitudinal analysis revealed that BFP in the girls was reduced to less than 18% 6 months before puberty and rapidly increased by 2.85% over 3 months, then exceeding 20% before puberty onset. After puberty onset, BFP was no longer lower than 22%. CONCLUSIONS BFP is an essential predictor of age at puberty onset. BFP first decreases and then begins to increase 3-6 months before puberty in girls. Parents and schools could monitor the BFP of prepubescent girls every 6 months to predict puberty onset.

Abstract
We have studied effects of metal–dielectric substrates on photopolymerization of [2,2ʹ-Bi-1H-indene]-1,1ʹ-dione-3,3ʹ-diyl diheptanoate (BITh) monomer. We synthetized BITh and spin-coated it onto a variety of dielectric, metallic, and metal–dielectric substrates. The films were exposed to radiation of a UV–Visible Xe lamp, causing photo-polymerization of monomer molecules. The magnitude and the rate of the photo-polymerization were monitored by measuring the strength of the ~ 480 nm absorption band, which existed in the monomer but not in the polymer. Expectedly, the rate of photo-polymerization changed nearly linearly with the change of the pumping intensity. In contrast with our early study of photo-degradation of semiconducting polymer P3HT, the rate of photo-polymerization of BITh is getting modestly higher if the monomer film is deposited on top of silver separated from the monomer by a thin insulating MgF2 layer preventing a charge transfer. This effect is partly due to a constructive interference of the incident and reflected light waves, as well as known in the literature effects of metal/dielectric substrates on a variety of spectroscopic and energy transfer parameters. At the same time, the rate of photopolymerization is getting threefold larger if monomer is deposited on Ag film directly and charge transfer is allowed. Finally, Au substrates cause modest (~ 50%) enhancement of both monomer film absorption and the rate of photo-polymerization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics models for predicting residual myoma regrowth within 1 year after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine myomas. METHODS A retrospective analysis of residual myoma regrowth within 1 year was performed on 428 myomas in 339 patients who were diagnosed with uterine myoma and treated with HIFU ablation in two hospital centers. In total, 851 radiomics features were extracted from T2-weighted images (T2WI) obtained 1 day after HIFU ablation, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator in the training cohort (n = 243) was employed to select radiomics features. Support vector machines were adopted to develop radiomics, clinicoradiological and combined radiomics-clinical models to predict residual myoma regrowth, defined as an increase in residual myoma volume of > 10% between that at day 1 post HIFU and that at follow-up MRI within 1 year. These models were validated in both internal (n = 81) and external (n = 104) test cohorts. The predictive performance and clinical application of these models were assessed using receiver-operating-characteristics-curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) and decision-curve analysis. RESULTS The AUCs of the T2WI-based radiomics prediction model in the internal and external test cohorts were 0.834 (95% CI, 0.747-0.920) and 0.801 (95% CI, 0.712-0.889), respectively, and those of the clinicoradiological model were 0.888 (95% CI, 0.816-0.960) and 0.912 (95% CI, 0.851-0.973), respectively. The combined model had better predictive performance than either the radiomics or the clinicoradiological model, with AUC values of 0.922 (95% CI, 0.857-0.987) and 0.930 (95% CI, 0.880-0.980) in the internal and external test cohorts, respectively. Decision-curve analysis also indicated that application of the combined model has clinical value, this model achieving more net benefits than the other two models. CONCLUSION T2WI-based radiomics features can predict effectively the occurrence of residual myoma regrowth within 1 year after HIFU ablation of uterine myomas, which serves as an accurate and convenient reference for clinical decision-making. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Disc displacement without reduction is a common disorder of the temporomandibular joint, causing clinical symptoms and sometimes condylar degeneration. In some cases, bone regeneration is detected following disc-repositioning procedures. Until now, however, systems-wide knowledge of the protein levels for condylar outcome with disc position is still lacking. Here, we performed comprehensive expression profiling of synovial fluid from 109 patients with disc displacement without reduction using high-resolution data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry and characterized differences in 1,714 proteins. Based on magnetic resonance imaging, samples were divided into groups with versus without condylar absorption and subgroups with versus without new bone. For the proteomic analysis, 32 proteins in groups presented with statistical significance (>2-fold, P < 0.05). Pathways such as response to inorganic substances, blood coagulation, and estrogen signaling were significantly expressed in the group with bone absorption as compared with pathways such as regulation of body fluid levels, vesicle-mediated transport, and focal adhesion, which were enriched in the group without bone absorption. In subgroup analysis, 45 proteins of significant importance (>2-fold, P < 0.05) were associated with pathways including would healing, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, and amino acid metabolism. Combined with clinical examination, molecules such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta (ACACB) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) were related to features such as visual analog scale and maximum interincisal opening (P < 0.05). In addition, 7 proteins were examined by Western blotting, including progesterone immunomodulatory binding factor 1 (PIBF1), histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), and protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons 2 (PACSIN2). In conclusion, this study provides the first proteome analysis of condylar absorption at disc displacement without reduction and postoperative new bone formation after disc reposition. Integrated with clinical data, this analysis provides an important insight into the proteomics of condylar modification at disc position.

Abstract
In response to the widespread adoption of vehicle-following systems in autonomous applications, the demand for collision warning to enable safer functionalities is increasing. This study provides an approach for automated vehicle guidance to follow the preceding vehicles longitudinally and puts emphasis on the performance of collision avoidance. The safety distance model is established, which contains a distance compensation algorithm to deal with the special case on curved roads. By introducing the algorithm of velocity and distance prediction, the collision risks are detected and measured in real time. The objective function is established based on optimal control theory to solve the desired following acceleration. The control system designed with the method of proportion integration differentiation combines throttle percentage and brake pressure as outputs to compensate acceleration. In the Carsim and Simulink co-simulation platform, the control system for longitudinal collision avoidance is simulated and analysed for four typical working conditions: the preceding vehicle drives at a constant speed on straight and curved roads, while the preceding vehicle drives at various speeds on straight and curved roads. The results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, which can be used for the longitudinal control of vehicle-following active collision avoidance.

Abstract
Arthrinium phaeospermum is the main pathogen that causes Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis blight. It secretes the cutinase transcription factor ApCtf1β, which has been shown to play an important role in B. pervariabilis × D. grandis virulence. However, knowledge about the interaction target genes of ApCtf1β in B. pervariabilis × D. grandis remains limited. A cDNA library for the yeast two-hybrid system was constructed from B. pervariabilis × D. grandis shoots after 168 h treatment with A. phaeospermum. The library was identified as 1.20 × 107 cfu, with an average insert >1,000 bp in size and a 100% positive rate, providing a database for the subsequent molecular study of the interaction between A. phaeospermum and B. pervariabilis × D. grandis. The yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays were used to screen for and identify two ApCtf1β interacting target proteins, BDUbc and BDSKL1, providing a reliable theoretical basis to study the molecular mechanism underlying B. pervariabilis × D. grandis resistance in response to A. phaeospermum, which would, in turn, establish a platform to develop new strategies for the sustainable and effective control of the blight diseases of forest trees.

Abstract
Alocasia macrorrhizos (Giant elephant's ear), a perennial herb in the Araceae family, is native to South Asia and the Asia-Pacific (Takano, et al. 2012). It is cultivated as a medicinal and ornamental plant, and has a considerable economic importance in China. In September 2020, a severe infection of unknown leaf spot disease was observed on these plants at the Sichuan Agricultural University, Sichuan, China. The leaf spots first appeared as yellow dots. As these lesions expanded, they became circular to oval and light brown with darker brown edges. Around the lesions, the leaf tissue was chlorotic, thereby creating a yellow halo. When the infection became severe, spots merged into larger irregular lesions. Eventually, the diseased leaves senesced and dried. To identify the pathogen, five leaf samples of diseased plants were collected, and symptomatic tissues were surface-disinfected with 75% ethanol for 30 s followed by 3% NaCl solution for 30 s. Samples were rinsed three times in sterilized water, placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA), and incubated at 25°C ± 1°C in the dark. The colony grown on PDA was white (3 days), the center was brown (5 days), turned pink to dark red (8 days) with fluffy aerial mycelium and pigmentation with age. Ten pure cultures were inoculated into carnation leaf agar (CLA) medium and incubated at 25°C in an incubator (12 h for one light-dark cycle). In CLA medium, pathogen produced hyaline, sickle-shaped, macroconidia with 3 to 5 septa, and an average size of 30 to 50 × 4 to 5 µm (n = 30) macroconidia but no microconidia in 10 days. Chlamydospores were spherical to subspherical (5.4 to 13.8 µm). Morphological characteristics of the all isolates were consistent with the description of the Fusarium asiaticum (Leslie and Summerell 2006). To validate this identification, RNA polymerase II (RPB2) (Liu et al. 1999), translation elongation factor (EF-1) (Geiser et al. 2004), and β-tubulin (TUB2) gene region of five isolates were amplified and sequenced (O' Donnell et al. 2015; White et al. 1990). The sequence of one representative isolate (ZL10) sequence was submitted to GenBank (ON215729, ON215730, and ON215731). The NCBI BLAST identified the top hits, 100%, 100%, and 99.87% for RPB2, EF, and TUB gene sequences, respectively, all indicating to Fusarium asiaticum. Pairwise matched of RPB2 and EF genes by MycoBank Fusarium MSIL showed the top hit rate of 100% for F. asiaticum (MH582120 and MH582249). For Koch's postulate and pathogenicity test, spore suspensions (1 × 10^7 conidia/ml) collected from PDA and CLA cultures with 0.05% Tween 80 buffer were used to inoculate with a spray bottle on leaves of a one year old A. macrorrhizos plants. Two leaves of each plant (20 pots in total) were inoculated with the spore suspension (approximately 2000 µl per leaf). An equal number of control leaves were applied with water and 0.05% Tween 80 buffer. Twenty days later, the inoculated plants showed similar symptoms to those of the original diseased plants while the controls remained asymptomatic. Fusarium asiaticum was reisolated from the infected leaves and confirmed using morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analysis. The pathogenicity test was repeated three times with similar results. This first report raises awareness of a new leaf spot disease infecting a commercial A. macrorrhizos in China. It provides an insight for a need of systematic survey identifying current spread, disease origin, and ultimately developing disease management strategies.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a key role in the progress of acute lung injury (ALI), which is an acute, progressive respiratory failure characterized by alveolar capillary injury caused by various external and internal factors other than cardiogenic factors. Pulmonary vascular endothelial cells are the main target cells during ALI, and therefore the mitochondrial targeting antioxidant derivative triphenylphosphine-melatonin (TPP-MLT) was encapsulated in VCAM-1 antibodies-conjugated nanostructured lipid carriers (VCAM@TPP-MLT NLCs) for lung targeting delivery. VCAM@TPP-MLT NLCs could be preferentially internalized by inflammatory endothelial cells in lung tissues, and then the released TPP-MLT from NLCs effectively eliminated the excessive reactive oxide species (ROS) and ameliorated cell apoptosis. Overall, the results suggested that VCAM@TPP-MLT NLCs exhibited remarkable in vitro and in vivo therapeutic effect on ALI, and could be a promising and efficient strategy for the treatment of ALI.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To explore the association of air pollution and hip fracture and related mortality in the UK. The average levels of PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 exhibited a positive association with hip fracture and short-term mortality while O3 did not. Our study highlights the association of air pollution and hip fracture. INTRODUCTION Until now, the influence of air pollution on bone mineral density and associated fractures has drawn little attention, and the consequences are controversial. To investigate the association between air pollution and hip fracture incidence and related short-term mortality. METHODS We constructed a cohort of all the National Hip Fracture Database beneficiaries (513,540 patients) in the UK from 2013 to 2018. Per year averages of PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, and SO2 were estimated according to the person's residence. The incidence rate ratio with 95% confidence interval and all-cause mortality within 30-day post-fracture (ACM30D) rate ratios were estimated using generalized additive models. RESULTS The average levels of PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 exhibited a positive association with the incidence rate of hip fracture (IHF) and ACM30D. Whereas, this association was negative for O3 levels. Each increase of 5 μg per cubic meter in PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 leads to 9.5%, 9.2%, and 4.1% higher hip fracture rate, respectively, and also 9.3%, 8.3%, and 2.9% higher ACM30D, respectively. When we restricted the analysis to low-level exposure of air pollutants, similar results were obtained. CONCLUSION Our study found a moderate, positive association between IHF, ACM30D, and the levels of specific air pollutants in the entire National Hip Fracture Database population. A reduction in the levels of PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 may decrease the hip fracture incidence rate and associated short-term mortality in older adults. Our study highlights the influence of air pollution on hip fracture.

Abstract
Dependence can highly increase the vulnerability of interdependent networks under cascading failure. Recent studies have shown that a constant density of reinforced nodes can prevent catastrophic network collapses. However, the effect of reinforcing dependency links in interdependent networks has rarely been addressed. Here, we develop a percolation model for studying interdependent networks by introducing a fraction of reinforced dependency links. We find that there is a minimum fraction of dependency links that need to be reinforced to prevent the network from abrupt transition, and it can serve as the boundary value to distinguish between the first- and second-order phase transitions of the network. We give both analytical and numerical solutions to the minimum fraction of reinforced dependency links for random and scale-free networks. Interestingly, it is found that the upper bound of this fraction is a constant 0.088 01 for two interdependent random networks regardless of the average degree. In particular, we find that the proposed method has higher reinforcement efficiency compared to the node-reinforced method, and its superiority in scale-free networks becomes more obvious as the coupling strength increases. Moreover, the heterogeneity of the network structure profoundly affects the reinforcement efficiency. These findings may provide several useful suggestions for designing more resilient interdependent networks.

Abstract
Phyllostachys aureosulcata McClure 'Spectabilis' C.D. Chu. et C.S. Chao is predominantly native to subtropical to warm temperate areas and is widely cultivated for landscaping in China (Neményi et al. 2015). In November 2020 (10 - 16 ℃), culm blight symptoms were observed on P. aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' in Wangjiang Tower Park (all kinds of plant areas are about 9.8 ha), Chengdu City (104°09'30.42″ E, 30°63'18.89″ N). Fifty plants were surveyed, and disease incidence was recorded as approximately 30%. Initially, chlorotic necrotic patches appeared on the culms, and gradually the patches became white, expanded to both ends, and encircled the whole culm with black edge and conidiomata, which eventually led to wilt and death. Five samples from different bamboos were collected and one of them were used for morphological observation. Five single conidia isolates were carried out on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25±1℃ (Chomnunti et al. 2014). Colonies were initially white and then yellowish in the center with abundant aerial mycelia. On the culm, conidiomata were dry, black, and filamentous. Conidiophores were reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells were smooth, hyaline, ampulliform to doliiform. Conidia were ellipsoid to globose, dark brown, smooth and aseptate, measuring 5.2 to 9.4 × 4.4 to 7.3 μm, (=8.2 × 6.5μm, n=50). On the PDA medium, conidia were globose to subglobose, olive green to pale brown, and smooth, larger than those from the host in size, measuring 9.0 to 18 × 7.5 to 9.5 μm ( =36.6 × 18.8 μm, n=50). These asexual structures were extremely similar to Apiospora locuta-pollinis (F. Liu & L. Cai) X.G. Tian & Tibpromma (Zhao et al. 2018). DNA was extracted from the representative strain (SICAUCC 22-0036), and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), beta-tubulin (tub2), 28S large subunit rDNA (LSU) were amplified and sequenced with primers ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), EF1-728F (Carbone & Kohn 1999)/EF2 (O'Donnell et al. 1998), T1 (O'Donnell & Cigelnik 1997)/Bt2b (Glass & Donaldson 1995) and LR0R/LR5 (Rehner & Samuels 1994). The newly generated sequences were deposited in GenBank with accession nos. ON228609 (ITS), ON324018 (tef1-α), ON237657 (tub2), and ON228665 (LSU). Nucleotide blast showed 98.97%, 100% and 99.46% identities with A. locuta-pollinis (LC11683, ex-holotype) (accession nos. MF939595, MF939622, MF939616), and LSU data missing. Phylogenetic analyses using maximum likelihood showed a 92% bootstrap support value in a clade with A. locuta-pollinis (Fig 2). Eight healthy plants (2-year-old) were used for the pathogenicity test. Culms of four healthy bamboos were wounded via sterile double-edged blade and sprayed with conidial suspension (105 conidia/ml) prepared from 4-week-old cultures that were incubated on PDA at 25℃. The other four bamboos were sprayed with sterile distilled water as controls. Inoculated plants were placed in a growth chamber (25℃, 90% relative humidity, 12-h photoperiod). About 60 days later, necrotic patches similar to those observed in the field were found on the inoculated culms, and no symptoms were observed on the controls. The pathogen was reisolated from the diseased culms with identical morphology as previously described. To our knowledge, this is the first report of culm blight on P. aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' caused by A. locuta-pollinis. The risk of this pathogen needs further evaluation, and effective control measures should be taken.

Abstract
Iron walnut (Juglans sigillata Dode) is a temperate deciduous tree indigenous to China. It is mainly distributed in southwestern China, and valued for its wood and nuts (Feng et al. 2018). In September 2020, symptoms of canker on J. sigillata were observed in an orchard measuring 2 hectares located in Chongzhou City, Sichuan Province (31°5' 25″N, 105°27'36″E, 365 m altitude). Twenty percent of plants showed canker symptoms during the 50 surveyed plants. The infected trunk showed necrotic lesions with black pycnidia, that led to necrosis of branches and death of the whole plant in severe cases (Fig. 1). Six specimens from different diseased plants were collected for pathogen isolation and morphological observation. Pure cultures were obtained from single conidium on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) media according to the method described by Chomnunti (Chomnunti et al. 2014). Colonies grew fast and reached 3 cm after 5 days. The aerial mycelium was abundant, which was initially white and then grayish. Conidiomata on the host were measured 160-280 µm × 140-190 µm (average: 220 × 165 µm, n = 20), stromatic, uniloculate, dark brown to black, immersed, and erumpent when mature. Pycnidial walls 32-58 µm wide, were composed of 5-7 layers of brown to dark brown cells. Conidia were hyaline, and ellipsoidal with rounded apex and base, widest at the middle, thick-walled, and unicellular, with a size 21.5-31 µm × 11.5-15.7 µm (average: 27 × 13.5 µm, n = 50). Morphological characteristics fit the description of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae A.J.L. Phillips, A. Alves & Crous (Aives et al. 2008). The internal transcribed spacers (ITS), 18S small subunit rRNA (SSU), 28S large subunit rDNA (LSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), and beta-tubulin (tub2) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced with primers ITS1/ITS4, NS1/NS4, LR0R/LR5, EF1-728F/EF1-986R and Bt2a/Bt2b, respectively (Li et al. 2018). The sequences of the representative isolate (SICAUCC 22-0079) were deposited in NCBI with accession numbers ON090365 (ITS), ON090406 (SSU), ON090418 (LSU), ON112377 (tef1-α), and ON112378 (tub2), respectively. Nucleotide blast showed 100% similarity of all the analyzed and NCBI submitted isolates with L. pseudotheobromae (CBS116459; holotype) (accession numbers EF622077, EU673199, EU673256, EF622057, EU673111). Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined dataset showed 100% bootstrap support values in a clade with L. pseudotheobromae complexes (Fig. 2). Based on morphological and molecular analyses, the fungal pathogen was identified as L. pseudotheobromae. To conduct Koch's postulates, four 2-year-old healthy plants of J. sigillata were inoculated with 10 μL spore suspension (105 conidia/mL) onto the wounded sites via sterile pin. As control, four healthy plants were treated with sterile distilled water. The inoculated and untreated plants were placed in a growth chamber at 25°C with relative humidity >90% and 12-h photoperiod. Trunk canker symptoms appeared on inoculated plants after 15-20 days, and the pathogen was re-isolated and the controls were symptomless, confirming Koch's postulates. L. pseudotheobromae is widely distributed in various plants all over the world, usually as a pathogen associated with damping-off, wilt, die-back, root rot, collar rot, witches' brooms, or fruit rots (Zhao et al. 2010). To our knowledge, this is the first report of trunk canker on J. sigillata caused by L. pseudotheobromae in China. Trunk canker caused by L. pseudotheobromae is becoming a potential threat to walnut production, and some necessary measures for integrated management should be made.

Abstract
The STAR Collaboration reports measurements of back-to-back azimuthal correlations of di-π^{0}s produced at forward pseudorapidities (2.6<η<4.0) in p+p, p+Al, and p+Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. We observe a clear suppression of the correlated yields of back-to-back π^{0} pairs in p+Al and p+Au collisions compared to the p+p data. The observed suppression of back-to-back pairs as a function of transverse momentum suggests nonlinear gluon dynamics arising at high parton densities. The larger suppression found in p+Au relative to p+Al collisions exhibits a dependence of the saturation scale Q_{s}^{2} on the mass number A. A linear scaling of the suppression with A^{1/3} is observed with a slope of -0.09±0.01.

Abstract
The administration of probiotics may help to improve dysbiosis and related health problems in children delivered by caesarean section. However, the effects are strain specific, and safety combined tolerance are considered a priority. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei N1115 in caesarean-born children aged 6-24 months via a randomised, placebo-controlled intervention study. In total, 101 children were included and randomised to receive either a sachet of L. paracasei N1115 (2×1010 cfu/g, 2 g/day) or placebo (maltodextrin, 2 g/day) per day for 12 weeks. Anthropometric parameters were measured by trained nurses, and defecation characteristics, gastrointestinal symptoms, (serious) adverse events ((s)AEs), crying patterns and lifestyle behaviours were recorded by parents or guardians. Neurocognitive development was assessed by the Ages and Stages Questionnaires-3 (ASQ-3) before and after the intervention. The only difference between groups regarding defecation characteristics was a significant treatment × time effect on stool frequency (P=0.007), as the number of defecations was significantly higher in the probiotic group (around 1.2-1.3 times/day) than in the placebo group (around 1.0 times/day) in the later intervention period (P=0.035 at week 9; P=0.048 at week 10; P=0.026 at week 12). The use of L. paracasei N1115 also reduced the incidence rate of constipation (Incidence rate ratio (IRR): 0.120; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.015, 0.967; P=0.046) and abdominal pain (IRR: 0.562; 95% CI: 0.358, 0.882; P=0.012). Changes in anthropometric parameters, including weight, height and head circumference, did not differ significantly between groups, nor did measures of crying, sleep, outdoor activity, temper, appetite or the ASQ-3 scores. No adverse events associated with consumption of the probiotic were reported. Thus, the administration of L. paracasei N1115 is safe and well-tolerated in caesarean-born children aged 6-24 months. Furthermore, it may ameliorate gastrointestinal function to some extent.
