Measuring and Modelling Sediment Transport on a Macrotidal Ridge and Runnel Beach: An Intercomparison

Observations of hydrodynamics, fluorescent tracer dispersal and beach morphology were acquired in the intertidal zone of a macrotidal ridge and runnel beach. High frequency hydrodynamic data from pressure transducers and electromagnetic current meters were used to describe flow patterns in the intertidal zone while sediment transport rates were estimated using energetics and empirical models. Results from fluorescent tracer experiments provided information on net sediment movement over periods ranging from one to five tidal cycles whereas morphometric analysis was carried out to determine net beach movement during a period of 24 tidal cycles. Comparison of the results showed that sediment transport based on the hydrodynamic measurements did not agree with sediment movement derived using the tracer and morphometric methods. This disagreement is because the latter methods integrate processes occurring throughout the whole tidal cycle including those at very low water depths (swash zone processes). Hydrodynamic data were limited to periods of the tidal cycle when the mean water depth was greater than 0.5 m. Such limitation, imposed by the physical dimensions, principle of operation and installation procedures of the instruments is common in nearshore studies. Sediment transport results obtained by using hydrodynamic data obtained in macrotidal areas would be incomplete if swash-zone processes are not covered by the sampling scheme. However, comparison of results obtained for shorter periods (i.e. excluding shallow water) with those from other methods that integrate over the whole tidal cycle can be used to extract information on sedimentary processes for periods where no direct data are available.
Do Tapping Box Technology Increase Local Taxes And District Own Source Revenue?

Taxes have a very important contribution to the state because they are the main income and a manifestation of community involvement in state spending which is regulated in laws. Local taxes as one of the many sources of District Own Source Revenue have a very important role in regional development. This local taxes collection and revenue must be maximized so that the resulting District Own Source Revenue will be maximized as well. The technological innovation or the use of Tapping Box has become an important part of taxes collection and revenue. The study aims to investigate restaurant taxes, the hotel taxes, and entertainment taxes on District Own OktafiyantiSource Revenue receipts mediated by the use of Tapping Box technology. The research took place in the Regional Finance Agency (BAPENDA) of Semarang Regency. This study uses a sample of 60 with 5 years of observation. The sample is the amount of taxes or income per month received from the Regional Taxes Information System then the acquisition of the collected data was analyzed using WarpPLS. The results show that the use of Tapping Box has proven to be able to strengthen the relationship between restaurant taxes and District Own Source Revenue and also the relationship between hotel taxes and District Own Source Revenue. On the other hand, the use of tapping boxes does not strengthen the relationship between the entertainment taxes and District Own Source Revenue. This indicates that the tapping box is often deactivated so that the entertainment business owner's income is not recorded every day, which causes the entertainment taxes paid to the local government to be not optimal.
Optimization of Dimensional Accuracy and Surface Roughness of SLA Patterns and SLA-Based IC Components

Rapid investment casting is a casting process in which the sacrificial patterns are fabricated using additive manufacturing techniques, making the creation of advanced designs possible. One of the popular 3D printing methods applied in rapid investment casting is stereolithography because of its high dimensional precision and surface quality. Printing parameters of the used additive manufacturing method can influence the surface quality and accuracy of the rapid investment cast geometries. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effect of stereolithography printing parameters on the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of printed patterns and investment cast parts. Castable wax material was used to print the sacrificial patterns for casting. A small-scale prosthetic biomedical implant for total hip replacement was selected to be the benchmark model due to its practical significance. The main results indicate that the most significant stereolithography printing parameter affecting surface roughness is build angle, followed by layer thickness. The optimum parameters that minimize the surface roughness are 0.025 mm layer thickness, 0° build angle, 1.0 support density index, and across the front base orientation. As for the dimensional accuracy, the optimum stereolithography parameters are 0.025 mm layer thickness, 30° build angle, 0.6 support density index, and diagonal to the front base orientation. The optimal printing parameters to obtain superior dimensional accuracy of the cast parts are 0.05 mm layer thickness, 45° build angle, 0.8 support density index, and diagonal to the front model base orientation. With respect to the surface roughness, lower values were obtained at 0.025 mm layer thickness, 0° build angle, 1.0 support density index, and parallel to the front base orientation.
Heavy metals in the Bystrzyca river flood plain

Downstream of Lublin, the Bystrzyca river represents a very high pollution level. A considerable portion of constituents disposed with effluents to the river accumulates in recent alluvium. River bottom deposits in the downstream stretch from Lublin to this river outlet to the Wieprz river exhibit high concentrations of cadmium, cobalt, nickel, and zinc. Heavy metals of high concentrations have also been detected in soils of the Bystrzyca flood plain. Peak concentrations have been found to occur in soils occurring in the immediate vicinity of the river bed, within a 20 m belt. It has been found that soils subject to cultivation frequently contain very high cadmium content (in excess of permissible concentration).
Broad scale land-cover classification and interannual climatic variability

Abstract Previous attempts to map land cover at broad scales were based on single year time series and usually on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index ( NDVI) Single years of data lack statistical representativity and the NDVI is partially driven by short-term climatic characteristics. We investigate two approaches to produce land-cover classifications that are not excessively influenced by short-term climatic variability: (i) averaging a climate-driven variable over several years, and (ii) measuring a more climate-independent variable. We test, compare and combine these two approaches for the African continent using 8 years of AVHRR Global Area Coverage (GAC) data. Our results demonstrate that times series of the ratio between surface temperature and NDVI are less influenced by interannual variations in climatic conditions than NDVI time series and thus produce more stable land-cover classifications. This finding is consistent with the biophysical interpretations of these two variables. When data a.
Ultrahigh‐pressure garnet lherzolite from Chijiadian, Rongcheng County, in the Su‐Lu region of eastern China

Petrological studies of a serpentinized garnet lherzolite body in Rongcheng of the Su-Lu region of eastern China revealed unusually high pressure. Spinel lherzolite probably in a subducting slab was transformed to garnet lherzolite at mantle depth. During exhumation, they were subsequently subjected to the granulite and then amphibolite overprinting and a phase of serpentinization. The peak P–T conditions of the garnet lherzolite estimated after detailed analysis of the metamorphic texture are 4–5 GPa and 820°C or 5–6 GPa and 780°C, depending on the chosen geothermobarometers. The lower dP/dT of the garnet lherzolite can be interpreted as the results of subduction of an old (say 100 Ma older than the time of collision) and cold, slab underneath the margin of the Sino–Korean craton.
Influence of dynamic factors on nonwetting fluid snap‐off in pores

Snap‐off is an important dynamic multiphase flow phenomenon which occurs in porous media. It plays a dominant role in the residual trapping and mobilization/immobilization of nonwetting fluids such as hydrocarbons or CO2. Current studies, applications, and threshold criteria of snap‐off are mostly based on static or equilibrium conditions. Thus, the dynamics of snap‐off which is relevant for many real world applications has rarely been systematically studied. While a static criterion indicates the snap‐off potential for nonwetting fluids, the competition between the time required for snap‐off and the local pore throat capillary number determines whether snap‐off actually occurs. Using a theoretical model to couple the wetting film thickness to the local capillary number at the pore throat, we analyzed the dynamics of the wetting/nonwetting interface instability in sinusoidally constricted capillary tubes. The influence of dynamic factors as encapsulated by the effect of local capillary number on nonwetting fluid snap‐off time were investigated for varying pore throat to pore body aspect ratio and pore body distances. The analysis showed that snap‐off can be inhibited by a sufficiently large local capillary number even in cases where the static snap‐off criterion has been met.
Kimberlites from the Wawa area, Ontario

Two newly discovered kimberlites from the Wawa area, Ontario, are Group-1 kimberlites in their petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical, and isotopic features. They contain mantle minerals and xenoliths of the FeTi-association (magnesian ilmenite, iron-rich olivine, orange Ti-pyrope garnet, augite, and ferroan enstatite) and of the Cr-association (chromian spinel, forsteritic olivine, purple Cr-pyrope garnets, chromian diopside, and enstatite); minerals of FeTi-association are much more abundant. Minerals of eclogitic association are absent. Both G-10 pyrope garnets and high Cr spinels typically associated with diamond are represented in the Cr-association. The average age of the kimberlites is 1097 ± 7 Ma; i.e., contemporaneous with other alkaline igneous rocks in the Wawa area. Equilibration pressures and temperatures of mantle xenoliths plot close to a 4045 mW m2 geotherm. On the basis of the Ni-in-garnet geothermometer, garnets from the Wawa kimberlites equilibrated at 8001350°C, and at least in .
Retrospective analysis of traffic accidents related injuries in a tourism region

Abstract Background: The number of applications to the emergency service after a traffic accident is quite high. In this study it is aimed to provide up to date data to the literature by making a detailed analysis of the patients who applied to the emergency department after an accident. Methods: This study was carried out by retrospectively scanning the patients who applied to the emergency department between 01.01. 2022 and 31.12. 2022 after a traffic accident in a secondary level hospital through the hospital electronic data. The patient’s admission date and time, age, gender, accident mechanisms, being a vehicle driver and ethanol positivity above the legal limit in the driver, as well as laboratory and imaging methods performed in the emergency department were examined. The injuries and outcomes seen in the patients were analyzed. Results: 1596 patients were evaluated within the scope of the study. The mean age of the patients was 32.93±19.26 years old and 66.7% were male. Among the accident mechanisms, 71.1% were found to be in vehicle traffic accidents. Head and neck tomography and extremity imaging were performed most frequently in the patients. Soft tissue trauma and extremity fractures were the most common cases. The discharge rate was 89.2%. It was concluded that hospitalized cases were most frequently made in neurosurgery, orthopedics and thoracic surgery clinics. Conclusions: The fact that vehicle drivers are drunk increases the risk of traffic accidents. The most common cause of fatal traffic accidents is cerebral hemorrhage. Increasing the safety measures that can be taken to prevent traffic accidents will reduce morbidity and mortality.
Initial motion of streambeds composed of coarse uniform sediments

Results of an experimental study of the initial motion of coarse uniform sediments are presented in this paper. The experiments were conducted in an 8 m long, 0·3 m wide by 0·3 m deep tilting flume. Natural sediments were used and they ranged in size from 1 mm to 14 mm. The purpose of the experiments was to determine flow conditions associated with the initiation of bed sediment motion. To eliminate the subjectivity in defining the beginning of streambed movement, the concept of critical-bed state is linked to the intensity of sediment motion. The experiments reveal that critical-bed shear-stress for sediment motion depends not only on the grain size, but also on the bed slope. The latter fact is explained by the effect of relative depth (depth to grain-size ratio) on overall flow resistance. It is also shown that the value of critical dimensionless bed shear-stress is not constant for rough turbulent flow, as is usually assumed. The same conclusion follows from the measurements of turbulence characterist.
A simple extension of two‐phase characteristic curves to include the dry region

Two‐phase characteristic curves are necessary for the simulation of water and vapor flow in porous media. Existing functions such as van Genuchten [1980], Brooks and Corey [1966], and Luckner et al. [1989] have significant limitations in the dry region as the liquid saturation goes to zero. This region, which is important in a number of applications, including liquid and vapor flow and vapor‐solid sorption, has been the subject of a number of previous investigations. Most previous studies extended standard capillary pressure curves into the adsorption region to zero water content and required a refitting of the revised curves to the data. In contrast, the present method provides for a simple extension of existing capillary pressure curves without the need to refit the experimental data. Therefore previous curve fits can be used, and the transition between the existing fit and the relationship in the adsorption region is easily calculated. The data‐model comparison shows good agreement. This extension is a simple and convenient way to extend existing curves to the dry region.
Environmental and Substrate Control on Paleozoic Bioerosion in Corals and Stromatoporoids, Anticosti Island, Eastern Canada

Abstract Bioerosion was a common process affecting corals and stromatoporoids in reef and off-reef facies on the carbonate ramp that spanned the Ordovician–Silurian boundary on Anticosti Island. The probable worm boring Trypanites was the dominant macroboring, penetrating more than 40% of 2,500 massive tabulate corals and stromatoporoids examined, occasionally in dense concentrations. The frequency of macroboring was influenced by conditions at the facies level reflected by changes in grain size, water depth, storm reworking of sediments, and the nature of the skeletal mass bored. These factors regulated exposure time of the host-substrate surface to the watermass and thus influenced bioerosion. Bored specimens are most common in muddy off-reef facies, moderate in sandy off-reef facies, and less common in reefs. In off-reef facies, storm-enhanced deposition and reworking of sediments were most important in the burial of eligible host substrates. In reefs, the high competition for space by encrusting epizoans, combined with sedimentation, limited macroborers that preferred to excavate dead skeletal substrates. Skeletal density was the most important property of the host substrate in controlling boring frequency. Macroborers favored a dense host skeleton likely for its enhanced mechanical strength and adaptability for unlined borings, despite requiring greater energy for excavation. High-relief host skeletons were bored more frequently than tabular forms, since their greater capacity to shed sediment would have resulted in more prolonged exposure above the seafloor. The probable bivalve boring Petroxestes pera is rare. Temporal changes in boring frequency appear to reflect local shifts in facies and relative sea level. Mass-extinction events near the O/S boundary, which eliminated some host corals and stromatoporoids, had no apparent effect on boring frequency.
Effects of exercise on circadian rhythms in humans

The biological clock system is an intrinsic timekeeping device that integrates internal physiology and external cues. Maintaining a healthy biological clock system is crucial for life. Disruptions to the body’s internal clock can lead to disturbances in the sleep-wake cycle and abnormalities in hormone regulation, blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital processes. Long-term disturbances have been linked to the development of various common major diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, tumors, neuropsychiatric conditions, and so on. External factors, such as the diurnal rhythm of light, have a significant impact on the body’s internal clock. Additionally, as an important non-photic zeitgeber, exercise can regulate the body’s internal rhythms to a certain extent, making it possible to become a non-drug intervention for preventing and treating circadian rhythm disorders. This comprehensive review encompasses behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives to provide a deeper understanding of how exercise influences circadian rhythms and its association with related diseases.
Development and testing of a new phosphorus index for Kentucky

The phosphorus index (PI) is a field-scale assessment tool developed to identify fields most vulnerable to phosphorus (P) loss. The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) recently revised its 590 Nutrient Management Standard and Title 190 National Instruction requiring that all NRCS-approved PI tools meet certain criteria. A recent study evaluating the Kentucky PI showed that it did not meet several of the criteria established by NRCS. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a revised PI for Kentucky in response to the revised 590 Standard. Important revisions to the Kentucky PI include (1) use of a component formulation, (2) incorporation of erosion and P application rates, (3) use of continuous variables, and (4) use of empirically based weighting factors. The revised Kentucky PI was evaluated against measured P loss data reported in the literature. Output from the revised PI was well correlated (Spearman's ρ = 0.86; p < 0.001) with the measured P loss data. Results also indicated that the revised Kentucky PI correctly assigned the appropriate risk category to the majority of fields with P loss values below or above our predefined cutoff values for low and high risk fields. On the other hand, the revised PI only correctly categorized 43% of the fields deemed to be at moderate risk. To assess whether the revised PI provided improved estimates of P loss risk, output from both the original and revised Kentucky PIs was compared against a P loss data set collected in the southern United States. Both the original (after modifications to soil test P [STP] and runoff ratings) and revised Kentucky PIs were significantly correlated with the measured P loss data, though the revised PI (Spearman's ρ = 0.92; p < 0.001) was more strongly correlated than the original Kentucky PI (Spearman's ρ = 0.42; p = 0.03). The original and revised Kentucky PIs were also compared by calculating P loss risk for 46 fields in Kentucky using data recently collected for developing comprehensive nutrient management plans. The approach adopted in this study to revise the Kentucky PI should offer guidance to other states currently in the process of revising their PI.
Correlation of a Resin Membrane Soil Phosphorus Test with Corn Yield and Routine Soil Tests

Most tests for plant-available soil P are based on extraction with a chemical solution. Extraction of P through ion exchange could provide better estimates of plant-available P. The objective of this study was to field calibrate a test based on a commercially available ion-exchange resin membrane (RMP) and compare it with Bray-P 1 (BP), Mehlich-3 (M3P), and Olsen (OP) tests. Replicated P response trials with corn (Zea mays L.) were established at 59 Iowa locations (78 site-years). The soils represented 17 series of the suborders Argiudolls, Endoaqualfs, Endoaquolls, Hapludalfs, and Hapludolls. Initial BP, M3P, RMP, and OP values ranged from 2 to 63, 7 to 79, 6 to 63, and 3 to 31 mg P kg -1 , respectively. The r 2 values of relationships between soil P extracted across sites ranged from 0.84 to 0.91, and the lowest values were for BP relationships. The BP test measured less P in a CaCO 3 -affected soil with pH 8.1 but not when pH was ≤7.7. Excluding the calcareous site improved correlations only for BP. Critical concentration ranges defined by Cate-Nelson (CN) and linear-plateau (LP) models and relative yield responses for various soil-test ranges indicated that 13 to 20 mg kg -1 for BP, 16 to 21 mg kg for M3P, 13 to 19 mg kg -1 for RMP, and 8 to 11 mg kg -1 for OP corresponded to a 94 to 96% mean relative yield response. The sink-based RMP test was as effective as routine P tests at predicting corn response to P fertilization and could be adopted for production agriculture.
Modeling and Compensation for Repositioning Error in Discontinuous GBSAR Monitoring

To compensate for the repositioning error (RE) introduced by the radar position offset in discontinuous ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GBSAR) monitoring, a new mathematical framework for modeling the baseline error based on the Taylor expansion is developed in this letter. And then, a novel 3-D model called multiparameter nonlinear trigonometric model (MNTM) is proposed to accurately compensate for the RE. Furthermore, to improve the compensating efficiency, we further develop an efficient 2-D model called linear trigonometric model (LTM). Both simulation and field experiments verify the superiority and feasibility of the proposed methods, which measure the displacement with sub-millimeter accuracy.
A Review of FLT3 Kinase Inhibitors in AML

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly aggressive illness distinguished by the accumulation of abnormal hematopoietic precursors in both the bone marrow and peripheral blood. The prevalence of FLT3 gene mutations is high and escalates the probability of relapse and mortality. The survival rates for AML patients, particularly those over 65, are low. FLT3 mutation screening at diagnosis is mandatory, and FLT3 inhibitors are crucial in treating AML patients with mutations. There are two categories of FLT3 mutations: FLT3-ITD located in the juxtamembrane domain and FLT3-TKD in the tyrosine kinase domain. FLT3-ITD is the most common type, affecting nearly a quarter of patients, whereas FLT3-TKD only affects 6–8% of patients. FLT3 inhibitors are now crucial in treating AML patients with FLT3 mutations. When dealing with FLT3-mutated AML, the recommended course of treatment typically involves chemotherapy and midostaurin, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to maximize the likelihood of success. Maintenance therapy can lower the risk of relapse, and gilteritinib is a better option than salvage chemotherapy for relapsed or refractory cases. Clinical trials for new or combined therapies are the most effective approach. This review discusses treatment options for patients with FLT3-mutated AML, including induction chemotherapy and options for relapsed or refractory disease. Additional treatment options may become available as more studies are conducted based on the patient’s condition and susceptibility.
