Phase‐Change Logic via Thermal Cross‐Talk for Computation in Memory

Herein, logic function implementations are computationally demonstrated using lateral and vertical multicontact phase‐change devices integrated with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry, which use thermal cross‐talk as a coupling mechanism to implement logic functions at smaller CMOS footprints. Thermal cross‐talk during the write operations is utilized to recrystallize the previously amorphized regions to achieve toggle operations. Amorphized regions formed between different pairs of write contacts are utilized to isolate read contacts. Typical expected reduction in CMOS footprint is ≈50% using the described approach for toggle‐multiplexing, JK‐multiplexing, and 2 × 2 routing. The switching speeds of the phase‐change devices are in the order of nanoseconds and are inherently nonvolatile. An electrothermal modeling framework with dynamic materials models is used to capture the device dynamics, and current and voltage requirements.
Fascist aspirants: Fascist Forge and ideological learning in the extreme-right online milieu

ABSTRACT Learning in extremist settings is often treated as operational, with little regard to how aspiring participants in extremist settings engage with complex and abstract ideological material. This paper examines learning in the context of the amorphous network of digital channels that compose the extreme-right online milieu. Through an in-depth qualitative analysis, we explore how well the prevailing model of extremist ideological learning (in ‘communities of practice’) accounts for the behaviour of aspiring participants of Fascist Forge, a now-defunct extreme-right web forum. The findings suggest that some of the social aspects of communities of practice have been replicated in the online setting of Fascist Forge. However, for a combination of technical and ideological reasons, the more directed and nurturing aspects of learning have not. Several issues are raised about the role of ideological learning in online communities, notably the open accessibility of extremist material, the lack of ideological control leading to potential mutation and innovation by self-learners, and the role of digital learning in the preparation, shaping and recruitment of individuals for real world organising and activism.
Does the Market for Corporate Control Influence Executive Risk-Taking Incentives? Evidence From Takeover Vulnerability

Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of the market for corporate control as an external governance mechanism and its effect on executive risk-taking incentives. Managers tend to be risk-averse as they are more exposed to idiosyncratic risk, resulting in sub-optimal risk-taking that does not maximize shareholders’ wealth. The takeover market alleviates this problem, inducing managers to take more risk. Therefore, risk-taking incentives inside the firm are less powerful when the outside takeover market is more active. Design/methodology/approach Exploiting a novel measure of takeover vulnerability recently constructed by Cain et al. (2017), the authors explore how takeover vulnerability influences executive risk-taking incentives. Using a large sample of US firms, the authors use fixed-effects regressions, propensity score matching and instrumental variable analysis. Findings Consistent with this study’s hypothesis, a more active takeover market results in less powerful risk-taking incentives. Specifically, a rise in takeover vulnerability by one standard deviation diminishes executive risk-taking incentives by 22.39%, which is an economically meaningful magnitude. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to explore the effect of the takeover market on managerial risk-taking incentives, using a novel measure of takeover susceptibility. The authors’ measure of takeover vulnerability is considerably less susceptible to endogeneity, enabling the authors to draw causal inferences with more confidence.
Anti-Arthritic Effect of Chicken Embryo Tissue Hydrolyzate Against Adjuvant Arthritis in Rats (X-Ray Microtomographic and Histopathological Analysis)

Finding new, safe strategies to prevent and control rheumatoid arthritis is an urgent task. Of particular interest in this regard are bioactive peptides and peptide-rich protein hydrolyzates, which represent a new trend in the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals. The resulting tissue hydrolyzate of the chicken embryo (CETH) has been evaluated for acute toxicity and tested against chronic arthritis induced by Freund's full adjuvant in rats. The anti-arthritic effect of CETH was studied on the 28th day of the experiment after two weeks of oral administration of CETH at doses of 60 and 120 mg/kg body weight. Arthritis was evaluated on the last day of the experiment on the injected animal paw using X-ray computerized microtomography and histopathology analysis methods. The CETH effect was compared with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium (5 mg/kg). Oral administration of CETH was accompanied by effective dose-dependent correction of morphological changes caused by the adjuvant injection. CETH had relatively high recovery effects in terms of parameters for reducing inflammatory edema, inhibition of osteolysis, prevention of osteophitosis, reduction of the inflammatory reaction of periarticular tissues, and cartilage degeneration. This study presents a potential theoretical strategy for the safe correction of this pathological process and, for the first time, shows that CETH may be a powerful potential nutraceutical agent or bioactive component of functional products in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Machine Learning‐Based Analysis of Geological Susceptibility to Induced Seismicity in the Montney Formation, Canada

We analyze data from 6,466 multistage horizontal hydraulic fracturing wells drilled into the Montney Formation over a large region in western Canada to evaluate the impact of geological, geomechanical, and tectonic characteristics on the distribution of hydraulic fracturing‐induced seismicity. Logistic regression was used to obtain a machine learning estimate of the seismogenic activation potential of each well. Our results fit the observed spatial variability, including an enigmatic change in seismicity at 120°W that does not correlate with any change in industrial activity. Feature importance analysis provides insight into data types that have the greatest impact on the results. Based on current data, seismogenic activation potential is most strongly influenced by depth of injection and distance of the well to the Cordilleran thrust belt.
Tensile Properties of Utgulisanji Connection

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate tensile properties of utgulisanji connection. The utgulisanji connection is a traditional wood-to-wood connection used in wood-frame buildings in Korea. Different sizes (120 × 120, 180 × 180, 180 × 240, 240 × 240 mm2) of glulam beam at 2.4 m length made from Larix kaempferi and Pinus koraiensis were used to determine the tensile properties of utgulisanji connection. Most failure occurred at the re-entrant corner of utgulisanji connections. Different elasto-plastic behaviors of utgulisanji connection made from different species under tension indicated that tensile properties of utgulisanji connection could not be determined by specific gravity, but by a combination of manufacturing parameters with properties of materials. Initial stiffness, yield load, and maximum load of utgulisanji connections determined using three different methods increased with the size of member, whereas the yield displacement showed an inconsistent trend with the size of member.
The Inhibition Potentials of Different Honey against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus species Isolated from Clinical Source

As a result of the increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance among different bacteria, different plants and other natural products have been studied and found to be highly effective against pathogenic bacteria. Honey, over the years has been used as an antibacterial agent to treat certain infections caused by bacteria and is believed to be effective especially in rural areas. This study was thus aimed at comparing the effect of different honey samples against some pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) isolated from clinical source. This study was carried out in the microbiology laboratory, department of microbiology Rivers State University Nigeria from January 2018 to August 2019. The antibacterial sensitivity test was carried out using agar well diffusion method while the Minimum inhibitory concentration and Minimum bactericidal concentration were determined using broth tube micro dilution technique in two fold dilution. The inhibition efficiency of the honey samples on the test organisms increased with increasing concentration from 20 to 100% as 100% concentration had the highest zone of Original Research Article Patience et al.; IJPR, 5(2): 46-55, 2020; Article no.IJPR. 61426 47 inhibition. Staphylococcus aureus (6.33 mm – 26.33 mm) was the most sensitive to the honey samples while Bacillus cereus (0.00 – 19.67 mm) was less sensitive. At concentrations of 20 – 80%, raw and Rowse honey were more effective on E. coli compared to Princenic Global honey, while at 100%, Princenic Global honey was more effective on Staphylococcus aureus. Raw and Rowse honey were more effective at 20 -60% concentrations followed by Princenic Global honey; whereas at 80 -100% concentrations, Raw and Princenic Global honey were more effective. Bacillus cereus was resistancet to the honey samples at 20 – 60% but sensitive at 80 – 100% concentrations to Rowse, Raw and Princenic Global honey. The inhibition efficiency of the honey samples on the growth of the tested organisms was found to be dependent on the concentration and type of honey used, as well as they type of organism tested. The result of the minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentration showed that Staphylococcus aureus was inhibited most at a lower concentration of 25% compared to other bacteria isolates. All honey samples tested did not show any bactericidal effect but was bacteriostatic to some of the tested organisms. Pharmacological standardization and clinical evaluation on the effect of honey is essential before honey can be used as a preventive and curative measure to common diseases related to the tested bacterial species.
Coping Behavior among Mothers Age 35 Years and Over with Unwanted Pregnancy in the Working Area of Kassi-Kassi Health Center Makassar City, Indonesia

An unwanted pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy that has psychological stress and impacts on nursing behavior during pregnancy. This requires coping efforts in order to handle stress. This study aims to analyze the coping behavior of mothers aged 35 years and over who experience unwanted pregnancies. This research is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained by means of in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and participatory observation on 21 informants consisting of pregnant women, families, health workers, and Posbunda cadres. Content analysis is used to identify topics or categories in data. The results showed that to overcome the problem two coping behaviors were carried out, namely coping focusing on emotions and coping focusing on problems. Coping behavior focuses on emotions, including praying, sleeping, sitting quietly outside the house, drinking coffee excessively, and getting fresh air. The coping behavior that focuses on the problem is telling the problem to find a solution and the consumption of herbs, soda, and drugs to abort the pregnancy. To support coping efforts, pregnant women get support from family, neighbors, friends, health workers, and Posbunda cadres. It is suggested to the Kassi-Kassi Health Center Makassar City to hold an intensive counseling program and health education regarding the correct use of contraceptive tools and methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Early-onset colorectal cancer research: gaps and opportunities

The incidence rates of sporadic early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) are increasing rapidly in the USA and globally. Birth cohort analyses strongly suggest that changes in early life exposures to known or unknown risk factors for CRC may be driving EO disease, but the etiology of EO-CRC remains poorly understood. To address the alarming rise in sporadic EO-CRC, the National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences convened a virtual meeting that featured presentations and critical discussions from EO-CRC experts that examined emerging evidence on potential EO-CRC risk factors, mechanisms and translational opportunities in screening and treatment.
A comparison of animal-related figures in milk and meat production and economic revenues from milk and animal sales of five dairy cattle breeds reared in Alps region

Abstract The objective of this study was to compare animal-related figures in milk and meat production and economic revenues from milk and animal sales over the last decade of the five most-common dairy cattle breeds in South Tyrol. Auction prices and milk performance control data were considered to calculate milk sales, animal sales and total revenue per cow of the respective breed between January 2009 and December 2019. Results highlight a stepwise substitution of Brown Swiss breed by Simmental breed over the last decade. This is probably related to the greater animal sales and greater total revenue per cow thanks to the dual-purpose characteristics in latter. No significant trend towards the breed Holstein-Friesian was observed although cows of this breed were shown to produce the highest milk yield (MY) per lactation and generated the highest total revenue per cow. Moreover, the local breeds Pinzgauer and Alpine Grey were able to compete in sense of importance as the number of cows remained mainly unaltered over the last decade. Thus, results indicate that although less productive, in sense of MY, local dual-purpose breeds seem to be of high interest for dairy farming systems in an alpine area as the decision for breeds is obviously not only driven by farm income. Highlights Holstein-Friesian is the most productive cattle breed considering milk production per lactation Simmental breed has a similar milk yield as Brown Swiss breed but received higher auction prices for calves and cull cows than latter Pinzgauer and Alpine Grey cows can compete with other breeds thanks to their dual-purpose characteristics, adaptability to alpine farming systems and additional subsidies
The determination of an accurate isotope dependent potential energy surface for water from extensive ab initio calculations and experimental data

We report on the determination of a high quality ab initio potential energy surface (PES) and dipole moment function for water. This PES is empirically adjusted to improve the agreement between the computed line positions and those from the HITRAN 92 data base with J⩽5 for H216O. The changes in the PES are small, nonetheless including an estimate of core (oxygen 1s) electron correlation greatly improves the agreement with the experiment. Using this adjusted PES, we can match 30 092 of the 30 117 transitions in the HITRAN 96 data base for H216O with theoretical lines. The 10, 25, 50, 75, and 90 percentiles of the difference between the calculated and tabulated line positions are −0.11, −0.04, −0.01, 0.02, and 0.07 cm−1. Nonadiabatic effects are not explicitly included. About 3% of the tabulated line positions appear to be incorrect. Similar agreement using this adjusted PES is obtained for the 17O and 18O isotopes. For HD16O, the agreement is not as good, with a root-mean-square error of 0.25 cm−1 for line.
Examining the link between social capital, knowledge quality, SMEs innovativeness and performance

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between some elements of social capital, knowledge quality, and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)’ innovativeness and export performance. Data were collected from owners/managers of SME exporters in Ghana. Structural Equation Modeling was used for the data analysis. The results indicate that the elements of social capital facilitate access to quality knowledge which consequently improves SMEs’ innovativeness. The study also shows that SMEs’ innovativeness affects their export performance.
Factors affecting e‐government adoption in Liberia: A practitioner perspective

Globally, e‐government implementation is growing, including in sub‐Saharan Africa, evidenced by the frequently reported benefits of e‐government programs in developed countries. The government of Liberia is pursuing an e‐government agenda to improve governance through the effective and efficient use of technology in the public sector. Liberia, one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world is bedeviled by over 10 years of civil war and most recently an Ebola virus outbreak which created severe human capacity gaps. The government has realized that in order to accelerate development and enhance its peoples' livelihood, it must integrate technology into its public administration procedures. However, the implementation of e‐government in Liberia has had mixed success. The objective of this research is to identify critical factors affecting the implementation of e‐government in Liberia. To achieve this aim, a reflective practitioner approach is employed as a lens to collect and guide the analysis of qualitative data. The data are collected through focus group discussion with senior IT practitioners (CIOs) of Liberia who are leading the delivery of e‐initiatives in Liberia. The factors identified are intended to guide how e‐government initiatives are implemented in Liberia. This research contributes to raising awareness about Liberia's e‐government program.
Tunnel Construction Workers’ Cognitive Biases and Unsafe Behaviors: The Mediating Effects of Risk Perceptions

The poor safety performance of the construction industry is a global concern. Workers’ unsafe behaviors (WUBs) are viewed as critical causes of construction accidents. Thus, it has been a leading research topic to identify antecedents of WUBs and establish reliable models to explain WUBs. Cognitive biases (CBs) are salient antecedents of WUBs. However, the relationships between CBs and WUBs are not further explored in construction safety management. As such, this study selected three prevalent CBs, i.e., availability bias (AB), confirmation bias (FB), and overconfidence, and investigated the relationships between the three CBs and WUBs and the functions of RPs in these relationships among tunnel construction workers. We established six multiple regression models. Research results show that CBs can directly influence RPs and WUBs, RPs are antecedents of WUBs, and the mediating effect of RPs on the relationships between CBs and WUBs is salient. In detail, AB and FB explain more ERP and overconfidence explains more BRP. AB and FB indirectly influence more WUBs through ERP, while overconfidence indirectly affects more WUBs through BRP. The study provides a novel theoretical paradigm for conceptualizing CBs and their relationships with RPs and WUBs. The research results can also guide managers to take debiasing measures to decrease workers’ unsafe behaviors on the construction site.

Causes of the Widespread 2019–2020 Australian Bushfire Season

The recent bushfires (2019–2020) in New South Wales (NSW) Australia were catastrophic by claiming human and animal lives, affecting ecosystems, destroying infrastructure, and more. Recent studies have investigated relationships between hydroclimatic signals and past bushfires, and very recently, a few commentary papers claimed drought and fuel moisture content as the probable causes for the widespread 2019–2020 bushfires. Therefore, in this study, a novel work of encompassing a wide range of factors attributing to the recent bushfires is presented. Empirical evidence‐based statistical methods are used to identify the hydroclimatic variables and geomorphic characteristics contributing to the 2019–2020 bushfires. The results highlight that ongoing drought, surface soil moisture (SSM), wind speed (WS10), relative humidity (RH), heat waves (HW), dead and live fuel moisture, and certain land cover types create favorable conditions for fire ignition and aid in fire propagation in different regions of the NSW state. The findings suggest that accounting for the above‐identified variables in bushfire prediction and monitoring system are crucial in avoiding such catastrophes in the future. The overarching application of this study is developing robust and more versatile fire protection planning and management.
Sedimentation of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the Cleveland Basin (Yorkshire, UK)

Fine-grained sedimentary successions contain the most detailed record of past environmental conditions. High-resolution analyses of these successions yield important insights into sedimentary composition and depositional processes and are, therefore, required to contextualise and interpret geochemical data which are commonly used as palaeoclimate proxies. The Kimmeridge Clay Formation (KCF) is a 500 m-thick mudstone succession deposited throughout the North Sea in the Late Jurassic and records environmental conditions through this time. Here, we present petrographic analyses (on 36 thin sections) on a 50 m section of a KCF core from the Cleveland Basin (Yorkshire, UK) to investigate controls on sedimentation in this region during the Tithonian, Late Jurassic. Facies descriptions demonstrate that deposition took place in a hydrodynamically variable environment in which the sediment origins, sediment dispersal mechanisms, and redox conditions fluctuated on the scale of thousands of years. Petrographic analyses show that the sediment comprises marine (algal macerals, calcareous fossils), detrital (quartz, clay, feldspar), and diagenetic (dolomite and authigenic kaolinite) components and that several sediment dispersal mechanisms influenced deposition and facilitated both the supply and preservation of terrestrial and marine organic material. This work provides a framework for the interpretation of geochemical palaeoclimate proxies and reinforces the importance of looking at the rock when interpreting whole-rock geochemical data.
