Long-term variations and trends in the simulation of the middle atmosphere 1980–2004 by the chemistry-climate model of the Meteorological Research Institute

A middle-atmosphere simulation of the past 25 years (from 1980 to 2004) has been performed with a chemistry-climate model (CCM) of the Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) under observed forcings of sea-surface temperature, greenhouse gases, halogens, volcanic aerosols, and solar irradiance variations. The dynamics module of MRI-CCM is a spectral global model truncated triangularly at a maximum wavenumber of 42 with 68 layers extending from the surface to 0.01 hPa (about 80 km), wherein the vertical spacing is 500 m from 100 to 10 hPa. The chemistry-transport module treats 51 species with 124 reactions including heterogeneous reactions. Transport of chemical species is based on a hybrid semi-Lagrangian scheme, which is a flux form in the vertical direction and an ordinary semi-Lagrangian form in the horizontal direction. The MRI-CCM used in this study reproduced a quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of about a 20-month period for wind and ozone in the equatorial stratosphere. Multiple linear regression analysis with time lags for volcanic aerosols was performed on the zonal-mean quantities of the simulated result to separate the trend, the QBO, the El Chichon and Mount Pinatubo, the 11-year solar cycle, and the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signals. It is found that MRI-CCM can more or less realistically reproduce observed trends of annual mean temperature and ozone, and those of total ozone in each month. MRI-CCM also reproduced the vertical multi-cell structures of tropical temperature, zonal-wind, and ozone associated with the QBO, and the mid-latitude total ozone QBO in each winter hemisphere. Solar irradiance variations of the 11-year cycle were found to affect radiation alone (not photodissociation) because of an error in making the photolysis lookup table. Nevertheless, though the heights of the maximum temperature (ozone) in the tropics are much higher (lower) than observations, MRI-CCM could reproduce the second maxima of temperature and ozone in the lower stratosphere, demonstrating that the dynamic effect outweighs the photochemical effect there. The ENSO signals of annual mean temperature, zonal wind, and ozone are generally reproduced in the troposphere and below the middle stratosphere. The volcanic signals of temperature increase and ozone decrease are much overestimated for both El Chichon and Mount Pinatubo.
Understanding of the structural chemistry in the uranium oxo-tellurium system under HT/HP conditions

The study of phase formation in the U-Te-O systems with mono and divalent cations under high-temperature high-pressure (HT/HP) conditions has resulted in four new inorganic compounds: K2 [(UO2) (Te2O7)], Mg [(UO2) (TeO3)2], Sr [(UO2) (TeO3)2] and Sr [(UO2) (TeO5)]. Tellurium occurs as TeIV, TeV, and TeVI in these phases which demonstrate the high chemical flexibility of the system. Uranium VI) adopts a variety of coordinations, namely, UO6 in K2 [(UO2) (Te2O7), UO7 in Mg [(UO2) (TeO3)2] and Sr [(UO2) (TeO3)2], and UO8 in Sr [(UO2) (TeO5)]. The structure of K2 [(UO2) (Te2O7)] is featured with one dimensional (1D) [Te2O7]4- chains along the c-axis. The Te2O7 chains are further linked by UO6 polyhedra, forming the 3D [(UO2) (Te2O7)]2- anionic frameworks. In Mg [(UO2) (TeO3)2], TeO4 disphenoids share common corners with each other resulting in infinite 1D chains of [(TeO3)2]4- propagating along the a-axis. These chains link the uranyl bipyramids by edge sharing along two edges of the disphenoids, resulting in the 2D layered structure of [(UO2) (Te2O6)]2-. The structure of Sr [(UO2) (TeO3)2] is based on 1D chains of [(UO2) (TeO3)2]∞ 2− propagating into the c-axis. These chains are formed by edge-sharing uranyl bipyramids which are additionally fused together by two TeO4 disphenoids, which also share two edges. The 3D framework structure of Sr [(UO2) (TeO5)] is composed of 1D [TeO5]4− chains sharing edges with UO7 bipyramids. Three tunnels based on 6-Membered rings (MRs) are propagating along [001] [010] and [100] directions. The HT/HP synthetic conditions for the preparation of single crystalline samples and their structural aspects are discussed in this work.
ℚ‐rational cycles for degree‐2 rational maps having an automorphism

Let ϕ:ℙ1 → ℙ1 be a rational map of degree d = 2 defined over ℚ and assume that f−1°ϕ° f = ϕ for exactly one nontrivial f ε PGL2 (ℚ−). We describe families of such maps that have ℚ‐rational periodic points of period 1, 2, and 4, and we prove that no such map has a ℚ‐rational periodic point of exact period 3. We give a complete description of the ℚ‐rational preperiodic points with period at most 4 and show in particular that there are at most 12 such points.
You`ve Over the Line! Muslim Consumers are Resistant to Opposite Brand Values

To cite in APA style: Faza, F. T. , Timur, Y. P., Mutmainah, L. , & Rusgiyanto, S. (2022). You`ve Over the Line! Muslim Consumers are Resistant to Opposite Brand Values. Shirkah: Journal of Economics and Business, 7(3), 219-238. The consumer's antagonistic behavior towards brands is hotly discussed because of the political issues it carries. However, factors affecting Muslim consumers to reject a product still requires more paucity of empirical evidence. The current study casts the light on antecedent factors that influence Muslim consumers to reject a product, and on a pattern between the reasons for refusal and the intention to boycott a brand. The online survey was able to reach 450 respondents from the Muslim community. This paper uses scenarios from confirmed cases of Muslim consumer boycotts against Unilever brands in Indonesia. Using the snowball-sampling technique, many of the respondents were from the educated young urban Muslim community. The model was tested using partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Moreover, the interaction moderation technique was applied to examine the effect of moderators on the structural model. The results showed that brand hate fully mediates all variables except symbolic incongruity. The results further revealed that brand hate is a construct with three first-order formative triggers (religious animosity, ideological incompatibility, and subjective norms). In addition, this study theoretically contributes to providing clear delineation that brand hate is a dichotomous concept consisting of the dimensions of intention to boycott (intention to incite, intention to avoid, and intention to punish).
ON ORTHOGONAL PROBABILITY MEASURES

Definitions. Let X be an arbitrary set, f( a Borel-field of some subsets B of X, and W(t) the family of all probability measures defined on C, i.e. the totality of all countably additive, non-negative set functions m(B), B Ez, for which m(X) = 1. Henceforth the word "measure" denotes an element of 2W(1) and the expression "set of measures" a subset of 9)(4). Two measures m and m' have been called equivalent (notation: m-m', as for example in [1]), if m'(B) =0 for every set B in o/ for which m(B) = 0 and mr(B) = 0 for every set B in C for which m'(B) = 0. A corresponding notion for sets of measures has been defined in [3] by Halmos and Savage in the following way: Two sets of measures M = { m I and Al' = { m' } are called equivalent (notation: M.-'M'), if whenever m(B) =0 for all m in M, B in /,, then m'(B) =0 for all m' in M' and, conversely, whenever m'(B) = 0 for all m' in M', B in 1, then m(B) = 0 for all m in M. Further, Halmos and Savage call a set of measures M = { m } dominated (notation: M <jtu), if there exists a measure ,u such that m(B) =0 for every m in M, whenever ,u(B) = 0, B Ez? ,. Having established this terminology, HalmosSavage prove the following lemma, which will be used later:
The Shape Parameter of a Two-Variable Graph

Abstract The shape parameter of a two-variable graph is the ratio of the horizontal and vertical distances spanned by the data. For at least 70 years this parameter has received much attention in writings on data display, because it is a critical factor on two-variable graphs that show how one variable depends on the other. But despite the attention, there has been little systematic study. In this article the shape parameter and its effect on the visual decoding of slope information are studied through historical, empirical, theoretical, and experimental investigations. These investigations lead to a method for choosing the shape that maximizes the accuracy of slope judgments.
Does Anxiety Affect Survival in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease?

Introduction: Behavioral and physiological risk factors worsen the prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Anxiety is known to be a psychological predictor of CHD. In this study, we investigated whether this factor is associated with all-cause mortality in CHD patients in the long term. Methods: We studied 180 patients (mean age 60.6 SD 9.2 years, 26% women) with CHD from the Berlin Anxiety Trial (BAT) and the Stepwise Psychotherapy Intervention for Reducing Risk in Coronary Artery Disease (SPIRR-CAD) study. Their cardiac and psychological risk profile was represented by standardized procedures, including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. Mortality outcomes were assessed using a community-based registry. Results: Of 180 patients, we obtained information on all-cause mortality in 175 (96.7%) after a mean follow-up of 12.2 years (range 10.4–16.6 years). Of all participants, 54.4% had prior myocardial infarction, 95.3% had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and 22.2% had prior coronary artery bypass graft. Most of the patients (98.4%) had New York Heart Association class I and II, 25.6% had diabetes and 38.2% were smokers. Patients had a mean HADS anxiety score of 9.7 SD 4.1 at study entrance. We found the highest HADS anxiety quartile all-cause mortality in 14%, 30.2% in the middle quartiles and 58.7% in the lowest quartile (chi2 20.8, p = 0.001). Related to psychological mechanisms, a low level of anxiety, seemed to be a significant predictor of all-cause mortality. We found no advantage for patients who had received psychosocial therapy in terms of survival. Conclusion: These first data confirmed our hypothesis about the association of psychological risk factors with the long-term outcome of CAD patients. Future studies will clarify whether the severity of disease, age or a particular type of coping or denial mechanism are associated with the presented outcome in low-anxious patients.
Potential biomarkers for late-onset and term preeclampsia: A scoping review

Preeclampsia is a progressive, multisystem pregnancy disorder. According to the time of onset or delivery, preeclampsia has been subclassified into early-onset (<34 weeks) and late-onset (≥34 weeks), or preterm (<37 weeks) and term (≥37 weeks). Preterm preeclampsia can be effectively predicted at 11–13 weeks well before onset, and its incidence can be reduced by preventively using low-dose aspirin. However, late-onset and term preeclampsia are more prevalent than early forms and still lack effective predictive and preventive measures. This scoping review aims to systematically identify the evidence of predictive biomarkers reported in late-onset and term preeclampsia. This study was conducted based on the guidance of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was used to guide the study. The following databases were searched for related studies: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest. Search terms contain “preeclampsia,” “late-onset,” “term,” “biomarker,” or “marker,” and other synonyms combined as appropriate using the Boolean operators “AND” and “OR. ” The search was restricted to articles published in English from 2012 to August 2022. Publications were selected if study participants were pregnant women and biomarkers were detected in maternal blood or urine samples before late-onset or term preeclampsia diagnosis. The search retrieved 4,257 records, of which 125 studies were included in the final assessment. The results demonstrate that no single molecular biomarker presents sufficient clinical sensitivity and specificity for screening late-onset and term preeclampsia. Multivariable models combining maternal risk factors with biochemical and/or biophysical markers generate higher detection rates, but they need more effective biomarkers and validation data for clinical utility. This review proposes that further research into novel biomarkers for late-onset and term preeclampsia is warranted and important to find strategies to predict this complication. Other critical factors to help identify candidate markers should be considered, such as a consensus on defining preeclampsia subtypes, optimal testing time, and sample types.
Altruistic responses to the most vulnerable involve sensorimotor processes

Introduction Why do people help strangers? Prior research suggests that empathy motivates bystanders to respond to victims in distress. However, this work has revealed relatively little about the role of the motor system in human altruism, even though altruism is thought to have originated as an active, physical response to close others in immediate need. We therefore investigated whether a motor preparatory response contributes to costly helping. Methods To accomplish this objective, we contrasted three charity conditions that were more versus less likely to elicit an active motor response, based on the Altruistic Response Model. These conditions described charities that (1) aided neonates versus adults, (2) aided victims requiring immediate versus preparatory support, and (3) provided heroic versus nurturant aid. We hypothesized that observing neonates in immediate need would elicit stronger brain activation in motor-preparatory regions. Results Consistent with an evolutionary, caregiving-based theory of altruism, participants donated the most to charities that provided neonates with immediate, nurturant aid. Critically, this three-way donation interaction was associated with increased BOLD signal and gray matter volume in motor-preparatory regions, which we identified in an independent motor retrieval task. Discussion These findings advance the field of altruism by shifting the spotlight from passive emotional states toward action processes that evolved to protect the most vulnerable members of our group.
Release and MMP-9 Inhibition Assessment of Dental Adhesive Modified with EGCG-Encapsulated Halloysite Nanotubes

Degradation of the collagen fibrils at the dentin–resin interface by the enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been known to permit some dental restoration complications, such as microleakage, secondary caries, and, ultimately, restoration failures. This study aimed to evaluate a modified adhesive by adding an MMP inhibitor from green tea extract with and without nanotube encapsulation to sustain the drug release. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were prepared to produce three variant combinations of modified adhesive (EGCG, EGCG-encapsulated HNT, and EGCG-free HNT). The drug loading efficiency and EGCG release over time were evaluated using UV-vis spectrometry. MMP-mediated β-casein (BCN) cleavage rate assays were used to determine the ability of the EGCG in eluates of the adhesive to inhibit MMP-9 activities. For up to 8 weeks, HNT encapsulation reduced release to a statistically significant level. MMP-mediated β-casein cleavage rate assays showed a significant decrease for the EGCG groups compared to the non-EGCG adhesive groups. Furthermore, the use of HNT for EGCG encapsulation to modify a dental adhesive helped slow down the rate of EGCG release without impacting its MMP inhibitory capabilities, which may help to maintain the dentin–resin interface’s integrity over the long term after dental restoration placement.
Should the Treatment of Patients with Repeated Embryo Implantation Failure Be Adapted as a Function of the Endometrial Cytokine Profile? A Single-Center Experience

Repeated embryo implantation failures (RIF) is a source of distress and frustration for patients and clinicians alike. Today’s approaches for treating RIF are largely empirical and have limited effectiveness. The main causes of RIF are poor endometrial receptivity and poor-quality embryos. Recent studies have suggested the involvement of immune dysregulation due to an imbalance between T-helper (Th) 1 and Th2 cytokines; this opens up perspectives for treating women with RIF and increasing the implantation rate. We conducted an interventional, longitudinal, prospective cohort study of the impact of correcting the cytokine imbalance on the clinical pregnancy rate in women with RIF. Seventy-seven women with RIF underwent an endometrial biopsy during the implantation window. The cytokine profile was evaluated by studying the activation and maturation of uterine natural killer (uNK) cells, the IL-15/Fn-14 mRNA ratio (a biomarker of uNK activation/maturation), and the IL-18/TWEAK mRNA ratio (a marker of angiogenesis and the Th1/Th2 balance). Personalized treatment was initiated for women with an abnormal endometrial cytokine profile (hyper-activation or hypo-activation). We documented the clinical pregnancy rate after subsequent embryo transfers. In total, 72.7% (56/77) of patients had an abnormal endometrial cytokine profile (hyper-activation in 68.8% (n = 53) and hypo-activation in 3.9% (n = 3). After treatment (or not) as a function of the endometrial profile, the overall clinical pregnancy rate was 30.2%. Our results indicated a potential positive effect of appropriate treatment on the ongoing pregnancy rate in women with RIF, despite the small number of cases analyzed. The results must now be validated in randomized studies with larger numbers of well-characterized patients. By applying a previously published decision tree, this treatment approach could be implemented in clinics worldwide.
Underwater Image Enhancement via Piecewise Color Correction and Dual Prior Optimized Contrast Enhancement

Due to the absorption and scattering of light, underwater captured images often face serious quality degradation issues. In this letter, we propose to cope with the aforementioned issues via piecewise color correction and dual prior optimized contrast enhancement. Specifically, we first present the piecewise color correction method using the maximum mean and two gain factors to correct the color cast of each color channel. Then, we propose a dual prior optimized contrast enhancement method, which relies on the spatial and texture priors to decompose the base layer and detail layer of the V channel in HSV color space. Meanwhile, we employ different enhancement strategies in different layers to enhance the contrast and texture detail of underwater images. Our extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets show that our method outperforms eleven compared state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, our method has good generalization capability for fog and low-light images.
Impact of COVID-19 Vaccination on Pregnant Women

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers across the world hastened to develop vaccines that would aid in bolstering herd immunity. Utilizing mRNA coding and viral vector technology, the currently approved vaccines were required to undergo extensive testing to confirm their safety for mass usage in the general population. However, clinical trials failed to test the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines in groups with weakened immune systems, especially pregnant women. Lack of information on the effects of vaccinations in pregnancy and the safety of fetuses are among the topmost reasons preventing pregnant women from receiving immunization. Thus, the lack of data examining the effects of COVID-19 vaccinations on pregnant women must be addressed. This review focused on the safety and efficacy of the approved COVID-19 vaccinations in pregnancy and their impact on both maternal and fetal immune responses. For that, we took the approach of combined systematic review/meta-analysis and compiled the available data from the original literature from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and Medline databases. All articles analyzed presented no adverse effects of vaccination in pregnancy, with varying conclusions on the degree of effectiveness. The majority of the findings described robust immune responses in vaccinated pregnant women, successful transplacental antibody transfer, and implications for neonatal immunity. Hence, findings from the cumulative data available can be helpful in achieving COVID-19 herd immunization, including pregnant women.
Crystalfield symmetries of luminescent Eu3+ centers in GaN : the importance of the 5D0 to 7F1 transition

Eu-doped GaN is a promising material with potential application not only in optoelectronics but also in magneto-optical and quantum optical devices “beyond the light emitting diode. ” Its interesting spectroscopy is unfortunately complicated by spectral overlaps due to “site multiplicity,” the existence in a given sample of multiple composite centers in which Eu ions associate with intrinsic or extrinsic defects. We show here that elementary crystalfield analysis of the 5D0 to 7F1 transition can critically distinguish such sites. Hence, we find that the center involved in the hysteretic photochromic switching observed in GaN(Mg):Eu, proposed as the basis of a solid state qubit material, is not in fact Eu1, as previously reported, but a related defect, Eu1(Mg). Furthermore, the decomposition of the crystalfield distortions of Eu0, Eu1(Mg), and Eu1 into axial and non-axial components strongly suggests reasonable microscopic models for the defects themselves.
Wet Microburst Activity over the Southeastern United States: Implications for Forecasting

Abstract The thermodynamic properties of wet-microburst-producing days, as observed during the 1986 MIST (MIcroburst and Severe Thunderstorm) field project, conducted in northern Alabama, have been examined and are shown to exhibit common characteristics. The parent storms and environment for this microburst type are substantially different than those documented over the High Plains in that the cloud bases are warmer, the subcloud layer is shallower, the radar reflectivities are greater, and the thermal environment is more moist and stable. Analyses of the rawinsonde data, launched in the morning and afternoon, show that low-level moisture is present and is capped by a midlevel dry layer. This midlevel dry air is generally advected from the northwest, where a large area of dry air exists over the central United States. In addition, it appears to be possible to differentiate between microburst days and thunderstorm days producing no wet microbursts by plotting the vertical profile of the equivalent potenti.
