The influence of higher in- and out-of-plane natural modes on dynamic pull-in instability of electrically actuated micro-plates

ABSTRACT Generating reduced-order models (ROMs) is one of the most efficient procedures for predicting pull-in instability threshold in electrically actuated rectangular micro-plates. To date, there exist some different approaches for this procedure in the literature with different numbers of employed natural modes which yield different results. The main objective of the present paper is to answer the basilar question of how many natural modes for discretising the in- and out-of-plane displacements should be included to ensure an efficient ROM. To this end, a full geometric non-linear Kirchhoff’s plate model with fully clamped boundary conditions, which accounts for both in-plane and transverse displacements is considered. A multi-mode ROM is also developed and both static and dynamic instability thresholds of the system are extracted. Convergence studies on both static and dynamic findings are also performed to illustrate the importance of each in- or out-of-plane mode on the accuracy of the results. Utilising the present convergence studies, the minimum number of in- and out-of-plane modes, which should be employed to achieve precise predictions, is determined. At the rest of the paper, effect of micro-plate inertia on reducing the instability threshold of systems with different initial gaps and aspects ratios is also studied in details.

Radar and satellite characterization of the ionosphere under strong electric field conditions

It is now well established that strong electric fields can distort high-latitude ion velocity distributions to the point that this affects Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) observations, and therefore the ion and electron temperatures inferred through those observations. Until now, studies of this topic have focused on first order, semi-empirical ion velocity distribution descriptions. However, a precise description has been lacking, notably along directions parallel or near-parallel to the magnetic field. To remedy these shortcomings and provide the best possible tools to analyze ISR observations, this thesis uses a state-of-the-art MonteCarlo (MC) simulation to retrieve accurate ion velocity distributions for any electric field, ion-neutral particle interaction, and direction relative to the magnetic field. Through these improvements, a number of important points have been made, such as: 1) for the most part simulated NO ISR observations can be modeled using Maxwellian velocity distributions having the same line-of-sight ion temperature as the simulated MC distribution, 2) although simulated O ISR observations parallel to the magnetic field are similar to those produced from Maxwellian velocity distributions they reflect an erroneous increase in electron temperature due to a wide O velocity distribution, and 3) signatures of toroidal ion velocity distributions in IS spectra are possibly the easiest to identify near 20◦ with respect to the magnetic field. Based on these results, accurate distorted ion velocity distributions are currently being incorporated into IS spectral fitting routines. In the logical next step, this thesis turns to radar observations to characterize the ion temperature anisotropy, which is particularly important for Joule heating studies. Using ISR observations from a particularly strong heating event reported by Clauer et al. (2016), it is found that the O-O collision cross-section from Knof et al. (1964) represents the anisotropy of the ionosphere fairly accurately, but still suggests the ionosphere to be slightly more anisotropic than expected. Knowing this allows for the preliminary determination of the effective electric field (the electric field in the neutral frame of reference). To obtain the electric field vector at a given latitude and longitude this thesis has explored a novel technique that employs multi-altitude measurements. This method combined with a knowledge of the effective electric field from the ion temperature studies opens up the possibility of a
Transverse-momentum-dependent quark distribution functions of spin-one targets: Formalism and covariant calculations

We present a covariant formulation and model calculations of the leading-twist time-reversal even transverse-momentum-dependent quark distribution functions (TMDs) for a spin-one target. Emphasis is placed on a description of these three-dimensional distribution functions which is independent of any constraints on the spin quantization axis. We apply our covariant spin description to all nine leading-twist time-reversal even $\ensuremath{\rho}$ meson TMDs in the framework provided by the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, incorporating important aspects of quark confinement via the infrared cutoff in the proper-time regularization scheme. In particular, the behaviors of the three-dimensional TMDs in a tensor polarized spin-one hadron are illustrated. Sum rules and positivity constraints are discussed in detail. Our results do not exhibit the familiar Gaussian behavior in the transverse momentum, and other results of interest include the finding that the tensor polarized TMDs---associated with spin-one hadrons---are very sensitive to quark orbital angular momentum, and that the TMDs associated with the quark operator ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{+}{\mathbf{\ensuremath{\gamma}}}_{T}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{5}$ would vanish were it not for dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. In addition, we find that 44% of the $\ensuremath{\rho}$ meson's spin is carried by the orbital angular momentum of the quarks, and that the magnitude of the tensor polarized quark distribution function is about 30% of the unpolarized quark distribution. A qualitative comparison between our results for the tensor structure of a quark-antiquark bound state is made to existing experimental and theoretical results for the two-nucleon (deuteron) bound state.
Determine phenotypical patterns of resistance to antibiotics in COVID-19 patients with associated bacterial infection: largest medical center in Iran

Background and Objectives: Antibacterial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat and major concern, especially in developing countries. Therefore, we aimed to determine phenotypical patterns of resistance to antibiotics in COVID-19 patients with associated bacterial infection in intensive care units. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 6524 COVID-19 patients admitted for more than 48 h in the ICUs of Imam Khomeini Complex Hospital (IKCH) in Tehran from March 2020 to January 2022 were included in the study with initial diagnosis of COVID-19 (PCR test and chest imaging). Data were collected regarding severity of the illness, primary reason for ICU admission, presence of risk factors, presence of infection, length of ICU and hospital stay, microbial type, and antibiotic resistance. In this study, the pattern of antibiotic resistance was determined using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method. Results: In this study, 439 (37.5%) were ventilator-related events (VAEs), and 46% of all hospitalized patients had an underlying disease. The most common microorganisms in COVID-19 patients were carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPCs) (31.6%), Escherichia coli (E. coli) (15.8%), and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) (15.7%), respectively. Prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and KPCs were 88% and 82%, respectively. Conclusion: A study on AMR surveillance is the need of the hour as it will help centers to generate local antibiograms that will further help formulate national data. It will guide doctors to choose the appropriate empiric treatment, and these studies will be the basis for establishing antimicrobial surveillance and monitoring and regulating of the use of antimicrobials.
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ENTERAL NUTRITION AVAILABILITY WITH NUTRITIONAL FULFILLMENT AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER PATIENTS

Background: The availability of enteral nutrition is one of nutritional intervention that can be given to prevent a decrease in nutritional intake and nutritional status in HNC patient. Research objective: This study aims to see the correlation between the availability of enteral nutrition with nutritional fulfillment and nutritional status. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted on adult subjects with HNC after radiation therapy at the RSCM radiotherapy outpatient clinic. Nutritional fulfillment was assessed by semi-quantitative FFQ while nutritional status was measured by calculating body mass index (BMI). Research results: Forty-one subjects mean age of 51 years participated in the study. The mean BMI of subjects with enteral nutrition was lower than those on oral nutrition, 18,2±2,6 kg/m2 compared to 21,2±3,5 kg/m2 respectively. The mean total energy intake of subjects with enteral nutrition route was higher, which was 1498,1±430,6 Kcal/day compared to 1291,4±393,3 Kcal/day. There was a moderate negative correlation between the availability of enteral nutrition and nutritional status (r=-0,346, p=0,027), meanwhile there was a weak positive correlation with nutritional fulfillment (r=0,216, p=0,174). However, in this study we found that the proportion of subjects with enteral nutrition who experienced a decrease in BMI was less than the proportion of subjects on the oral route, which was 22,2% compared to 43,8% respectively. Conclusion: There is a moderate negative correlation between the availability of enteral nutrition with nutritional status and a weak positive correlation with nutritional fulfillment which is still influenced by confounding factors.
Exploring the role of pharmacology in surgical anatomy and patient outcomes

Introduction: This study looked at how pharmacology affected surgical anatomy and patient outcomes. Methods: The research included a total of 162 participants who were having elective surgery. Propofol or sevoflurane was randomly allocated to patients for the initiation and maintenance of anesthesia. Acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), and opioids were used in combination to alleviate pain. Results: When compared to patients receiving sevoflurane, those receiving propofol had substantially reduced rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (p 0.05). Additionally, the propofol group saw quicker healing and shorter hospital stays (p 0.05). Multimodal analgesia was linked to better pain management and reduced opioid use. Conclusion: The use of propofol for anesthesia induction and maintenance, as well as multimodal analgesia, may provide superior outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. These findings highlight the importance of pharmacology in surgical anatomy and patient outcomes and emphasize the need for further research to optimize the use of these interventions in the perioperative period.
The Impact of Subjectivity on Financial Accounting

In this paper it is attempted to explore current trends in Financial Accounting, that connect research endeavors in the relatively new branch of Behavioral Finance, with the impact of subjectivity on the accounting cycle of each fiscal year, as well as on the preparation of financial statements. The investigation of subjective factors in Financial Accounting expands its scope, while the systematic utilization of its two-way relationship with the field of Neurofinance (unbiased data) may create a broader framework of knowledge for the further improvement of the investment process, through an understanding of the methodology required by accounting operations and rules up until the preparation of financial statements. By extension, a better understanding of how financial markets operate will be beneficial not only for governments wishing to promote savings incentives and responsible management, but also for supervisory authorities seeking to ensure that the market for personal financial services operates rationally and without bias.

Taxonomic surrogates for long-term macrobenthic community monitoring: an application with Community Trajectory Analysis

: Biodiversity monitoring, essential to detect impacts of natural and anthropogenic changes on marine ecosystems, is costly, time-consuming and requires high taxonomic expertise. Taxonomic surrogacy might be a solution to overcome these problems and accurately reflect species-level community patterns, but its efficiency has mainly been assessed as taxonomic sufficiency and rarely from long-term monitoring data. Here, the efficiency of subset taxa (i.e. Poly-chaeta, Crustacea and Mollusca) for summarizing long-term community dynamics was tested in different coastal habitats. The data set came from a yearly long-term macrobenthic monitoring programme (2007−2019) in western France, in 2 biogenic and 2 bare habitats. Community trajectory analysis (CTA), a statistical approach allowing for quantitative measures and comparisons of temporal trajectories, was used to test for similitudes between overall community, subset-taxa and non-subset-taxa dynamics. Polychaeta best reflected the spatial diversity of the different sites as well as the temporal dynamics of the non-Polychaeta species, with more efficiency in biogenic compared to bare habitats. Our study confirmed that the subset-taxon method may reflect long-term benthic habitat dynamics and that CTA is an effective tool to test their efficiency.
The Impact of the Source Language in Spanish Translations: A Survey on English Counterfactuals ‘Should have’

The present article shows that the most frequent way of translating Should have + Past participle in Spanish is the word-by-word translation Debería haber. This preference is not coherent with the language use of natives at three levels: (i) the marginal role of modal verbs to express the speaker’s subjectivity in Spanish; (ii) the preferred use of modal verbs in the past participle position (e.g., No hubiese debido tener libros); and (iii) the predominant use of the pluperfect subjunctive as a prompting tense for counterfactual readings. Our survey is based on 1.7 million-word Social Sciences corpus covering 8 essays, 4 political biographies and 2 dystopian novels. In all, 9 sentences containing should have + past participle were analyzed. The translations were crossed with a reference corpus in Spanish containing 154 million words (CREA). The translators’ preference by Debería haber has an effect in the output texts’ readability since it implies a reversal in the frequencies of the Spanish constructions pertaining to the irrealis semantic domain. Our results provide empirical cues to prevent the word-by-word translation Debería haber, such as avoiding infinitive periphrastic constructions or favoring subjunctive mood’s tenses.
Bursting toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes in KSTAR plasmas

We report on observations of bursty mode activity during early neutral beam heating in KSTAR plasmas, before current flat top while the q profile is still evolving. The magnitude of the activity increases with early beam heating, and reduces with the addition of resonant magnetic perturbation magnetic field coils. A mode analysis yields a toroidal mode number of n = 2. The mode is observed to be downward chirping in frequency, and exists for the duration of the slowing-down of the beam. Motional Stark effect constrained equilibrium reconstructions are available at adjacent time slices: we have rescaled the total current to the measured value to obtain the q profile during the mode activity. From this we have computed the mode spectrum and identified a number of candidate gap modes. Wave-particle simulations with plausible distribution functions are computed, which demonstrate that the lowest frequency mode satisfies the condition for wave drive ω * / ω > 1 , where ω * is the fast ion diamagnetic drift frequency. An interesting finding is the change from exponential growth of the mode above n f / n i 0 ≈ 0.6 , whereby the mode continues to nonlinearly grow at a reduced rate over a period of 100 wave periods up to final saturated amplitude. We believe that this may be because the two spatial resonances at s = 0.4 and s = 0.8 overlap for sufficiently high fast ion density, and so the phase-space volume and fast ion density available to drive the mode increases.
Experimental Research on Fluid-Elastic Instability in Tube Bundles Subjected to Air-Water Cross Flow

Abstract Fluid-elastic instability is the major factor in causing the vibration of tube bundles. Design guidelines on fluid-elastic instability in tube bundles is necessary to avoid damage due to excessive tube vibration. However, the design guidelines on fluid-elastic instability in tube bundles subjected to two-phase cross flow have no consistent conclusions. Accordingly, this technical note researches the vibration characteristics of three tube bundle distributions, namely, normal square tube bundles with pitch-to-diameter ratios of 1.28 and 1.32 and a normal triangular tube bundle with a pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.32. Comparison of the present fluid-elastic threshold results with previously published data shows good agreement in single-phase flow. The effects of pitch-to-diameter ratio and tube bundle configurations on fluid-elastic instability induced by air-water cross flow were also compared and analyzed by measuring unstable behavior of tube bundles. It was found that fluid-elastic instability is more prone to occur with a decrease of pitch-to-diameter ratio and that the normal square tube bundle is more stable than the normal triangular tube bundle. From the perspective of the tube bundle configurations, it was recommended that the instability constant K in normal triangular and normal square tube bundles be 3.4 and 4.0, respectively.
Anthroposocial-Medical-Educational Approach and Educational Diagnosis of People Living with Type 2 Diabetes: Case of the National Obesity Centre in Cameroon

: Therapeutic patient education is an approach that is increasingly used in the management of chronic diseases. It has a structure, the first essential component of which is the educational diagnosis. However, empirical findings show that this first link is often forgotten or poorly negotiated in the implementation of therapeutic patient education. This situation reveals a difficulty in contextualising the proposed models. Hence our objective, which was to describe the process of integrating the anthroposocial-medical approach into the construction of an educational diagnosis for people living with type 2 diabetes. We conducted a descriptive qualitative study in the National Obesity Centre of the Yaoundé Central Hospital. People living with type 2 diabetes and health professionals constituted our target population and our sample size reached saturation with 16 participants (10 patients and 6 professionals). Semi-structured interviews using interview guides were conducted with the participants. The results revealed that in order to integrate the anthropological dimension in the construction of the educational diagnosis, firstly, the health professional must become acquainted with the patient's culture, his or her eating habits, find out about his or her dietary difficulties and investigate his or her behaviour in the usual environment. Secondly, the health professional must get the patient to verbalise his or her representation of the disease, his or her practices and therapeutic remedies. Thirdly, the health professional must get the patient to narrate his or her therapeutic itinerary. In order to integrate the social dimension into the construction of the educational diagnosis, the professional must firstly find out about the patient's economic situation. Secondly, he/she must find out about the patient's profession, his/her plans, find out about his/her professional interactions and assess his/her physical activity. Thirdly, he/she has to find out about his/her interactions with his/her family. Finally, in order to integrate the medical dimension into the construction of the educational diagnosis, the health professional must collect the patient's biomedical data and assess the patient's knowledge of his or her illness. In conclusion, the anthroposocialmedical approach can be considered as a contextual guide in the process of constructing an educational diagnosis which constitutes the foundation for the development of a therapeutic education programme.
Utilization of Family Planning Methods and associated factors among women of reproductive age group in Sunsari, Nepal

Background and objectives: Family planning not only improves women’shealth but also promotes gender equality, better child health, and education, including poverty reduction. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the utilization of family planning methods and associated factors in Sunsari, Nepal. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among women of the reproductive age group (15-49 years) in Sunsari in 2020. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to collect information from 212 respondents through face-to-face interviews using a Semi-structured interview schedule from ward no 1 of Barju rural municipality. Descriptive and inferential analysis (binary logistic regression)were used to find the association of utilization of family planning methods with selected demographic variables. All the variables with a p-value <0.1 in bivariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis. A p-value of <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance at a level of significance of 5%. Results: This study showed that the mean age and standard deviation of the respondents was 26±7.03 and 91.5 % of respondents’ age at marriage was less than 20 years.Likewise,67.5% of respondents use any methods of family planning and 55.2% of respondents use family planning services from the government health facility. Furthermore, education ((AOR 1.579, CI 1.013-2.462), husband’s occupation (AOR1.095,CI 0.744-1.610), type of family ((AOR 2.741, CI 1.210-6.210), and no of the living son ((AOR 0.259, CI 0.077-0.872) are the factors associated with the utilization of family planning methods. Conclusion: This study concludes that two-thirds of the reproductive age women utilize family planning methods. Furthermore, education, husband’s occupation, type of family, and no of living son are the factors associated with the utilization of family planning methods. This reflects that awareness through mass media including behavioral communication is needed to increase the utilization of family planning methods.
