Automotive Supply Chain Disruption Risk Management: A Visualization Analysis Based on Bibliometric

The automobile industry is the pillar industry of the national economy. The good operation of the automobile supply chain is conducive to the sustainable development of the economy and social economy. In recent years, the popular research of automotive supply chain disruption risk management has been widely of concern by both business and academic practitioners. It is observed that most of the literature has focused only on a particular journal or field; there is a distinct lack of comprehensive bibliometric review of two decades, of research on automotive supply chain disruption risk management. This paper delivers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis that provides a better understanding not previously fully evaluated by earlier studies in the field of automotive supply chain disruption risk management. We used the 866 journal article during the period between 2000 and 2022 from the WOS database as sample data. Highlights research topics and trends, key features, developments, and potential research areas for future research. The research problems we solved are as follows: (1) Over time, how does the research in the field of automotive supply chain disruption risk management progress? (2) Which research areas and trends are getting the most attention in the field of automotive supply chain disruption risk management? (i) to recognize the scholarly production; (ii) the most productive authors; (iii) the most productive organization; (iv) the most cited articles; and (v) the most productive countries. (3) What is the research direction of automotive supply chain disruption risk management in the future? Also discusses the shortcomings of literature and bibliometric analysis. These findings provide a potential road map for researchers who intend to engage in research in this field.
Instabilities of a liquid film flowing down a slightly inclined plane

Falling films on inclined planes display surface and shear instability modes, the latter being important at small angles β of inclination of the plane. These modes are analyzed with particular attention paid to the effects of surface tension. The results show that the critical Reynolds number of the shear mode is nonmonotonic in either the angle β or the surface‐tension parameter ζ but displays a local minimum at nonzero values of β and ζ. For large Reynolds number, an analysis shows that the shear mode is inviscidly stable, but that the surface mode is unstable.
Comparing electrostatic instabilities driven by mildly and highly relativistic proton beams

An electrostatic instability driven by counter-propagating tenuous proton beams that traverse a bulk plasma consisting of electrons and protons is considered. The system is spatially homogeneous and is evolved in time with a one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation, which allows for a good statistical plasma representation. Mildly and highly relativistic beam speeds are modeled. The proton beams with a speed of 0.9c result in waves that saturate by the trapping of electrons. The collapse of the phase space holes in the electron distribution scatters these to a flat-top momentum distribution. The final electric fields are weak and the proton beams are weakly modulated. No secondary instabilities are likely to form that could thermalize the proton beams. The proton beams moving with 0.99c initially heat the bulk plasma through a three-wave interaction. Coalescing phase space holes in the bulk proton distribution arising from the saturation of ion acoustic waves transport wave energy to low wavenumbers. Highly relativistic phase space holes form in the electron distribution, which are not spatially homogeneous. The spatial envelope of these electron phase space holes interacts with the fluctuations driven by the phase space holes in the bulk protons, triggering a modulational instability. A Langmuir wave condensate forms that gives rise to strong and long electrostatic wave packets, as well as to a substantial modulation of the proton beams. The final state of the system with the highly relativistic proton beams is thus more unstable to further secondary instabilities that may transfer a larger beam energy fraction to the electrons and thermalize the proton beams more rapidly.
Retailer's ordering policy for deteriorating items with inflation-induced demand under trade credit policy

The main objective of this paper is to model the retailer's cost minimisation retail strategy when he confronts with the supplier trade promotion offer of credit policy of the type 'd/D1 Net D' under inflationary conditions and inflation-induced demand. A simple-to-use algorithm has been used to obtain the optimal order quantity and total cost. Results have been validated with the help of numerical example along with the sensitivity analysis.
Polarization Behavior of Bone Macrophage as Well as Associated Osteoimmunity in Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

Abstract Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is a disabling disease with high mortality in China but the detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms remain to be investigated. Macrophages are considered the key cells in osteoimmunology, and the cross-talk between bone macrophages and other cells in the microenvironment is involved in maintaining bone homeostasis. M1 polarized macrophages launch a chronic inflammatory response and secrete a broad spectrum of cytokines (eg, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) and chemokines to initiate a chronic inflammatory state in GIONFH. M2 macrophage is the alternatively activated anti-inflammatory type distributed mainly in the perivascular area of the necrotic femoral head. In the development of GIONFH, injured bone vascular endothelial cells and necrotic bone activate the TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway, promote dimerization of PKM2 and subsequently enhance the production of HIF-1, inducing metabolic transformation of macrophage to the M1 phenotype. Considering these findings, putative interventions by local chemokine regulation to correct the imbalance between M1/M2 polarized macrophages by switching macrophages to an M2 phenotype, or inhibiting the adoption of an M1 phenotype appear to be plausible regimens for preventing or intervening GIONFH in the early stage. However, these results were mainly obtained by in vitro tissue or experimental animal model. Further studies to completely elucidate the alterations of the M1/M2 macrophage polarization and functions of macrophages in glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head are imperative.
A Statistical Rule of the Stokes Parameters of Pol-SAR for Identifying Flat Surface in PSR

Finding a flat area is critical for choosing the landing site, especially in the permanently shadowed region (PSR) without reference of optical images. The digital elevation model (DEM) data are not enough to describe the complex lunar topography in the landing mission. High-resolution polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (pol-SAR) can acquire the polarized scattering map of lunar surface. In this letter, Chandrayaan-2 pol-SAR images of flat and rocky regions at non-PSR are selected with the assistance of optical image. The statistics of the Stokes parameters can tell the difference between flat and rocky surfaces. Enhanced backscattering with a large variance from rough surfaces with rocks can be distinguished from the smooth and flat areas. Large value of the first Stokes parameter $I_{1}$ with extendedly distributed probability distribution function is related with the scatterings from rough surface and rocks. A statistics rule of the Stokes parameters is established and is applied to identify the flat regions in the PSR of the crater Shoemaker.
Effectiveness of Individual Oral Health Care Training in Hospitalized Inpatients in Geriatric Wards

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of individual oral health care training (IndOHCT) on dental plaque removal and denture cleaning in hospitalized geriatric inpatients. Background: The literature reveals neglect of hygiene and oral care in people aged over 65 years, especially in persons in need of care. Hospitalized geriatric inpatients have poorer dental health than those non-hospitalized. Furthermore, the existing literature reporting on oral healthcare training interventions for hospitalized geriatric inpatients is scarce. Materials and Methods: This pre-post-controlled intervention study dichotomized 90 hospitalized geriatric inpatients into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). Inpatients in the IG received IndOHCT. Oral hygiene was assessed using the Turesky modified Quigley–Hein index (TmQHI) and the denture hygiene index (DHI), at baseline (T0), at a second examination (T1a), and after supervised autonomous tooth brushing and denture cleaning (T1b). The influence of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Barthel Index (BI) scores on oral hygiene was examined. Results: There was no significant plaque reduction on teeth or dentures between T0 and T1a in either group. Between T1a and T1b, plaque reduction on the teeth was more effective in the IG than in the CG (p < 0.001). Inpatients with 1–9 remaining teeth removed significantly more dental plaque than inpatients with 10 or more remaining teeth. Inpatients with lower MMSE scores (p = 0.021) and higher age (p = 0.044) reached higher plaque reduction on dentures. Conclusions: IndOHCT improved oral and denture hygiene in geriatric inpatients by enabling them to clean their teeth and dentures more effectively.
Driver Emotion Recognition With a Hybrid Attentional Multimodal Fusion Framework

Negative emotions may induce dangerous driving behaviors leading to extremely serious traffic accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a system that can automatically recognize driver emotions so that some actions can be taken to avoid traffic accidents. Existing studies on driver emotion recognition have mainly used facial data and physiological data. However, there are fewer studies on multimodal data with contextual characteristics of driving. In addition, fully fusing multimodal data in the feature fusion layer to improve the performance of emotion recognition is still a challenge. To this end, we propose to recognize driver emotion using a novel multimodal fusion framework based on convolutional long-short term memory network (ConvLSTM), and hybrid attention mechanism to fuse non-invasive multimodal data of eye, vehicle, and environment. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, extensive experiments have been carried out on a dataset collected using an advanced driving simulator. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, a preliminary exploration on the correlation between driver emotion and stress is performed.
The Relationship between Pinguecula and Diabetes Mellitus: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study

Purpose To assess the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the presence of pinguecula and to identify other risk factors associated with pinguecula in patients attending the eye clinic at two tertiary university hospitals in Jordan. Methods This was a comparative cross-sectional hospital-based study of 241 consecutive patients (122 patients with DM and 119 patients with no diabetes). All patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination, and data were collected regarding age, sex, occupational activity, presence and grade of pinguecula, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and presence of diabetic retinopathy. Results The mean (standard deviation, SD) ages of the DM and non-DM groups were 59.5 (10.8) years and 59.0 (11.6) years (p-value = 0.729), respectively. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of pinguecula between the diabetic and nondiabetic groups (66.4% vs. 66.5%, p = 0.998). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that only outdoor occupational activity (OR = 5.16, 95% CI: 1.98–13.44, p = 0.001) was associated with increased prevalence of pinguecula. DM was not significantly associated with pinguecula (OR = 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.55–1.67, p = 0.873). Neither age nor sex were significantly associated with pinguecula (p-value = 0.808, p-value = 0.390), respectively. Conclusion DM was not significantly associated with the development of pinguecula in this Jordanian population. The prevalence of pinguecula was significantly associated with an outdoor occupational activity.
Remark on the optimal regularity for equations of wave maps type

The goal of this paper is to review the estimates proved in [3] and extend them to all dimensions, in particular to the harder case of space dimension 2. As in [3], the main application we have in view is to equations of Wave Maps type, namely systems of equations of the form φ + ΓIJK(φ)Q0(φ J , φ) = 0. (1) Here, = −∂ t +∆ denotes the standard D’Alembertian in R , and Q0 is the null form Q0(φ, ψ) = ∂αφ · ∂ ψ = −∂tφ∂tψ + n ∑
FLUCTUATING LIFT AND DRAG FORCES ON FINITE LENGTHS OF A CIRCULAR CYLINDER IN THE SUBCRITICAL REYNOLDS NUMBER RANGE

Spanwise cross-correlations of fluctuating pressures and of elemental fluctuating forces have been measured on long smooth circular cylinders with end plates in the central part of the span where "long" cylinder conditions exist. The data have been obtained at subcritical Reynolds numbers over the range 104 to 2·1 × 105 for blockage ratios 0·0425, 0·06 and 0·095 and at turbulence levels of 0·002, 0·0125, 0·03, 0·055 and 0·075. By use of the cross-correlation curves, factors have been calculated which allow the r.m.s. force coefficients for finite lengths of "long" cylinders to be derived from elemental force coefficients. These conversion factors have been applied to previously measured elemental force coefficients to produce coefficients of r.m.s. forces for finite lengths of cylinder up to 50 diameters for the ranges of conditions detailed above.
Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Women with a History of Embryo Transfer Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used to enhance pregnancy in infertile women. In this technique, the eggs are removed from the ovary and fertilized and injected with sperm to make embryos. Unfortunately, embryo implantation failures still occur in many of these women. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies use a patient’s own platelets to promote tissue healing and growth, including endometrium. The growth factors provided by the platelets play a criterial role on the regenerative ability of PRP. In the last years, PRP treatments have been gaining a lot of popularity to treat women with repeated ART failures. In this study, we collected and summarized all information published in the scientific literature to assess the evidence of the PRP effect on pregnancy. We only considered randomized controlled trials (RCT), a type of study designed to be unbiased and considered at the highest level of evidence. Our analysis indicates that PRP therapies might be an effective treatment in cases of poor responsiveness to conventional ART. However, additional studies (well-designed) are necessary to confirm this beneficial effect of PRP.
Propagating aberrated light

We outline a theory for the calculation of the laser beam quality factor of an aberrated laser beam. We provide closed form equations which show that the beam quality factor of an aberrated Gaussian beam depends on all primary aberrations except tilt, defocus and x-astigmatism. The model is verified experimentally by implementing aberrations as digital holograms in the laboratory. We extend this concept to defining the mean focal length of an aberrated lens, and show how this definition may be of use in controlling thermal aberrations in laser resonators. Finally, we look at aberration correction and control using a combination of spatial light modulators and adaptive mirrors.
Laser induced lifetime degradation in p-type crystalline silicon

Pulsed, green laser irradiation of uncoated p-type silicon leads to a significant reduction of the effective minority carrier lifetime. The reason for the lifetime drop lies in the introduction of recombination centres into the laser melted and recrystallized surface layer, leading to a low local minority carrier lifetime τ ≈ 10 ns inside this surface layer. The laser treatment introduces the impurities oxygen, carbon and nitrogen into the silicon and further leads to an n-type doping of the surface layer. There are strong indications that these impurities are responsible for the observed n-type doping, as well as the lifetime reduction after irradiation. Both effects are removed by thermal annealing. An estimate shows that the low local lifetime does nevertheless not affect the performance of industrial or contacted selective solar cell emitter structures.
Subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups which are irreducible on an adjoint or minimal module

Let G be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p. The purpose of this paper is to determine all maximal closed subgroups of G which act irreducibly on either the adjoint G-module or one of the well-known “minimal” modules of dimension 56, 27, 26− δp,3 or 7− δp,2 for G of type E7, E6, F4 or G2 respectively. (The adjective “minimal” here refers to the minimality of the dimension.) This greatly extends [21, Theorem 4] for exceptional groups.
Muscle and Muscle-like Autoantigen Expression in Myasthenia Gravis Thymus: Possible Molecular Hint for Autosensitization

The thymus is widely recognized as an immunological niche where autoimmunity against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) develops in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, who mostly present thymic hyperplasia and thymoma. Thymoma-associated MG is frequently characterized by autoantibodies to the muscular ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) and titin (TTN), along with anti-AChR antibodies. By real-time PCR, we analyzed muscle—CHRNA1, RYR1, and TTN—and muscle-like—NEFM, RYR3 and HSP60—autoantigen gene expression in MG thymuses with hyperplasia and thymoma, normal thymuses and non-MG thymomas, to check for molecular changes potentially leading to an altered antigen presentation and autoreactivity. We found that CHRNA1 (AChR-α subunit) and AIRE (autoimmune regulator) genes were expressed at lower levels in hyperplastic and thymoma MG compared to the control thymuses, and that the RYR1 and TTN levels were decreased in MG versus the non-MG thymomas. Genes encoding autoantigens that share epitopes with AChR-α (NEFM and HSP60), RYR1 (neuronal RYR3), and TTN (NEFM) were up-regulated in thymomas versus hyperplastic and control thymuses, with distinct molecular patterns across the thymoma histotypes that could be relevant for autoimmunity development. Our findings support the idea that altered muscle autoantigen expression, related with hyperplastic and neoplastic changes, may favor autosensitization in the MG thymus, and that molecular mimicry involving tumor-related muscle-like proteins may be a mechanism that makes thymoma prone to developing MG.

Aerosols as Vectors for Contaminants: A Perspective Based on Outdoor Aerosol Data from Kuwait

The Middle East is a hot spot of dust, and there are reports of as much as 1400 µg m−3 of dust in aerosols from Kuwait, which is among some of the highest dust loadings globally. A significant volume of literature has emerged on dust–air-quality–human-health, and the World Health Organization in its recent air quality guidelines has lowered the limit of annual PM2.5 exposure to 5 μg m−3 from the previous limit of 10 μg m−3. We present a mini-review based on a screening and search of the published data generated in Kuwait on contaminants associated with dust in different size fractions. We also include an unpublished study on organic contaminants in size-fractionated aerosols. The ΣPAHs concentrations in all the six size fractions range between 570 and 3350 pg m−3. The ∑PBDE concentration ranges from ~2 to 1307 pg m−3. The average 210Po activity in aerosol size classes varies between 2289 and 2581 Bq kg−1. The average 210Pb concentration varies between 352 and 412 Bq kg−1. The MP inventory in Kuwait’s outdoor aerosol is between 5 and 35 MP in 815 ± 5 m3 of air. The bacterial load in outdoor aerosols is between 6.05 × 103 cells m−3 and 1.24 × 108 cells m−3. The fungal load ranges between 2.11 × 102 cells m−3 and 2.66 × 106 cells m−3. The data suggest that the inhalable fraction of <2.5 µm size contains high concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 210Po, 210Pb, microplastics, and microbes. These enriched ultrafine aerosols pose a significant risk to human health. The review also highlights the scarcity of contaminant data in respirable and inhalable size fractions that are critical for a comprehensive inhalation risk assessment.
Exposure of the Gestating Mother to Sympathetic Stress Modifies the Cardiovascular Function of the Progeny in Male Rats

Background: Sympathetic stress stimulates norepinephrine (NE) release from sympathetic nerves. During pregnancy, it modifies the fetal environment, increases NE to the fetus through the placental NE transporter, and affects adult physiological functions. Gestating rats were exposed to stress, and then the heart function and sensitivity to in vivo adrenergic stimulation were studied in male progeny. Methods: Pregnant Sprague–Dawley rats were exposed to cold stress (4 °C/3 h/day); rats’ male progeny were euthanized at 20 and 60 days old, and their hearts were used to determine the β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) (radioligand binding) and NE concentration. The in vivo arterial pressure response to isoproterenol (ISO, 1 mg/kg weight/day/10 days) was monitored in real time (microchip in the descending aorta). Results: Stressed male progeny presented no differences in ventricular weight, the cardiac NE was lower, and high corticosterone plasma levels were recorded at 20 and 60 days old. The relative abundance of β1 adrenergic receptors decreased by 36% and 45%, respectively (p < 0.01), determined by Western blot analysis without changes in β2 adrenergic receptors. A decrease in the ratio between β1/β2 receptors was found. Displacement of 3H-dihydroalprenolol (DHA) from a membrane fraction with propranolol (β antagonist), atenolol (β1 antagonist), or zinterol (β2 agonist) shows decreased affinity but no changes in the β-adrenergic receptor number. In vivo exposure to ISO to induce a β-adrenergic overload provoked death in 50% of stressed males by day 3 of ISO treatment. Conclusion: These data suggest permanent changes to the heart’s adrenergic response after rat progeny were stressed in the uterus.
