Spatiotemporal evolution of electrical conductivity in current-limiting-fuse arc

To improve the interruption capacity of a current-limiting fuse, a detailed diagnosis of the spatial electrical conductivity distribution inside the fuse arc under the current limiting phase around current zero is required, because this distribution determines the distribution of transient recovery voltage inside the fuse. However, well-established methodologies applicable to fuse arcs are lacking, so the spatial distribution remains unknown. This study presents a borescope-integrated spectroscopic system that simultaneously obtains single-shot recordings of the axial distributions of the electron density and arc temperature in the fuse arc just before extinction. Combining the electron densities and arc temperatures, we can identify the fuse arc composition and hence calculate the axial electrical conductivity distribution under the first Chapman–Enskog approximation. The electrical conductivity provided by this systematic methodology includes no large uncertainties, thus demonstrating its superiority against previous estimation methods of the electrical conductivity.

Diffusion model of the impact of helium and argon impurities on deuterium retention in tungsten

The influence of helium and argon impurities on the deuterium retention in tungsten is investigated by a numerical diffusion model, which treats diffusing depth profiles for deuterium and helium or argon in tungsten, taking into account the suggested effects of helium or argon. With helium, a helium nanobubble layer builds up at the surface of the sample, with depths higher than the penetration depth of the incident helium and deuterium ions. The nanobubbles form a porous network, which allows the release of trapped deuterium by surface recombination and diffusion through the pores to the surface. For argon, only a shallow layer of argon-induced defects exists, which also act as trapping sites for deuterium. A number of experiments with tungsten samples were conducted at the linear plasma device PSI-2 in support of the model. Helium and argon were admixed to deuterium plasma in ratios of up to 8% for otherwise similar exposure conditions. In addition, a variation of ion fluences was performed for investigation of the onset and evolution of the effects of impurities. The model shows that the influence on the deuterium retention both for helium nanobubbles as well as for argon-induced defects depends strongly on the ratio between the thickness of the helium- or argon-affected layer and the penetration depth of deuterium ions.

The relationship between biological factors (vitamin D, prolactin, oxytocin, thyroid hormones) , Pregnancy-Related Anxiety and Maternal-Foetal Attachment

Introduction and Objective . Pregnancy-Related Anxiety (PrA) is a common issue in pregnancy, which is distinctive from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It has numerous negative outcomes for both mother and child. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D, thyroid function, prolactin, oxytocin and Pregnancy-Related Anxiety, and to check for any correlations between anxiety levels and maternal-foetal bonding in pregnancy and postpartum. Materials and method. Seventy pregnant women participated in the study. The relationship was investigated between Pregnancy-Related Anxiety and biological factors and maternal-foetal attachment, using serum levels of vitamin D, TSH, prolactin, oxytocin, and scores of PRAQ-R2, MFAS and MORS questionnaires. Results . No significant association was found between vitamin D, oxytocin, prolactin, TSH and PrA. Weak positive correlations were found between own appearance subscale of PRAQ-R2 and mothers’ perception of giving self subscale in MFAS. A weak positive correlation was also found between PRAQ-R2 and its’ subscale concerning own appearance and MORS invasion subscale.
Fast Parametric Model Checking With Applications to Software Performability Analysis

We present an efficient parametric model checking technique for the analysis of software performability, i.e., of the performance and dependability properties of software systems. The new parametric model checking (pMC) technique works by using a heuristic to automatically decompose a parametric discrete-time Markov chain (pDTMC) model of the software system under verification into fragments that can be analysed independently, yielding results that are then combined to establish the required software performability properties. Our fast parametric model checking (fPMC) technique enables the formal analysis of software systems modelled by pDTMCs that are too complex to be handled by existing pMC methods. Furthermore, for many pDTMCs that state-of-the-art parametric model checkers can analyse, fPMC produces solutions (i.e., algebraic formulae) that are simpler and much faster to evaluate. We show experimentally that adding fPMC to the existing repertoire of pMC methods improves the efficiency of parametric model checking significantly, and extends its applicability to software systems with more complex behaviour than currently possible.
Development of a chronic sediment toxicity test for marine benthic amphipods

The results of the research effort culminated in the development of a research method for assessing the chronic toxicity of contaminated marine and estuarine sediments using the benthic amphipod, Leptocheirus plumulosus. The first chapter describes the efforts at collecting, handling, and culturing four estuarine amphipods from Chesapeake Bay, including L. plumulosus. This chapter includes maps of the distribution and abundance of these amphipods within Chesapeake Bay and methodologies for establishing cultures of amphipods which could be readily adopted by other laboratories. The second chapter reports the development of acute and chronic sediment toxicity test methods for L. plumulosus, its sensitivity to non-contaminant environmental variables, cadmium, two polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and contaminated sediment from Baltimore Harbor, MD. The third chapter reports the authors attempts to develop a chronic sediment toxicity test with Ampelisca abdita.
Surface lagoonal sediments on Lord Howe Island, Tasman Sea

The lagoon on Lord Howe Island is enclosed by the southernmost coral reef in the world. The lagoon is on average 1.5 m deep and 2 km wide. Five distinct biogeological zones occur being; bare sand (65% of the lagoon area), lagoonal coral zone, gravel sheet, algal flats and patch reefs. Sedimentological studies of the surficial sediments on the lagoon floor indicate a high-energy environment where the sand and gravel is continually reworked by waves and tides. Medium-coarse sand dominates being comprised of coralline algae and micritized grains. Coral, formaminifera and molluscs are minor constituents with Halimeda being virtually absent. There is very little relation between the distribution of grain types and biogeological zonation.
Effects of food on growth and gonadal development of seahorse Hippocampus sp.

Hippocampus sp. has received attention as a source of aquarium and ornamental trade. Seahorses have been threatened from non-target fisheries, habitat loss and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In response to concern about a decrease of population in the wild, an aquaculture of this species may provide the seahorse numbers for the commercial demands. However, one of the critical problems in aquaculture is the proper dietary for growth and their development. Therefore, this study was conducted on different types of preys on survival rates, growth rates and gonadal development in Hippocampus sp. during the day of birth until the 31day after birth (DAB). The newborn Hippocampus sp. was reared under the optimal environmental conditions at the hatchery of Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC). The feeding treatments provided to newborns Hippocampus sp. were Artemia, wild Mysis spp. , shrimp larvae and enriched copepod. The study conducted into 2 aspects: growth rates and survival rate, and gonadal development. In the case of Hippocampus sp. growth, none of the Artemia-fed group survived. The Mysis-fed group has the highest in growth rates and survival rates followed by the shrimp larvae-fed group and enriched copepod-fed group. For gonadal development, only ovaries of Hippocampus sp. were observed under histological level. The duration of oocyte growth in Mysis-fed group was shorter than the shrimp larvae? fed group and the enriched copepod-fed group, respectively. The result of growth rates and gonadal development are also related to highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) contents in preys, which was observed high contents HUFA in Mysis spp. , shrimp larvae and enriched copepod, respectively. The results of this study demonstrated that the Mysis spp. and shrimp larvae could be provided as an optimal prey for Hippocampus sp. growth and gonadal development. Therefore, this feed could be applied to improve the seahorse aquaculture in the future.
What's the Point: The Transition from Dart to Bow in the Eastern Plains

Despite many years of research by professional and avocational archaeologists, many questions still surround the transition from the atlatl and dart to the bow and arrow in North America. This is an important transition, as it has many implications for how the acquisition of food changed in the past. This study documents the cadence and nature of this change, specifically focusing on 10 sites in northeastern Kansas and western Missouri. These sites are grouped into three general time periods: Early (prior to the transition), Middle/Transitional, and Late (post transition). Using David Hurst Thomas (1978) and Michael Shott’s (1997) formulas , each point is classified as dart, arrow, indeterminate dart, or indeterminate arrow. The results are then compared within and across the three temporal periods, characterizing the transition. Hypotheses about any divergence from expected patterns will be examined. Also, hypotheses previously put forward to explain the transition from atlatl and dart to bow and arrow in regions of North America will be examined in light of these results.
Public opinion about self-driving vehicles in China, India, Japan, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia

This report documents a new study of public opinion about self-driving vehicles in China, India, and Japan. The survey yielded completed responses from 610 respondents in China, 527 respondents in India, and 585 respondents in Japan. For comparison, the report also includes recently released findings from the same survey in the U.S., the U.K., and Australia. The main findings (applicable to each of the six countries) are as follows: (1) The majority of respondents had previously heard of autonomous or self-driving vehicles, had a positive initial opinion of the technology (or neutral in the case of Japan), and had high expectations about the benefits of the technology. (2) However, the majority of respondents expressed high levels of concern about riding in self-driving vehicles, safety issues related to equipment or system failure, and self-driving vehicles not performing as well as human drivers. (3) Respondents also expressed high levels of concern about vehicles without driver controls; self-driving vehicles moving while unoccupied; and self-driving commercial vehicles, buses, and taxis. (4) The majority of respondents expressed a desire to have this technology in their vehicles. However, a majority was also unwilling to pay extra for the technology (except for respondents in China and India). In comparison to the respondents in the U.S., the U.K., and Australia, respondents in China and India had more positive initial opinions of self-driving vehicles, expressed greater interest in having such technology on their personal vehicles, and were willing to pay the most for it. Japanese respondents, on the other hand, generally had more neutral initial opinions about self-driving technology and were willing to pay the least for it. The main implications of these results are that the respondents in the six countries surveyed, while expressing high levels of concern about riding in vehicles equipped with this technology, mostly feel positive about self-driving vehicles, have optimistic expectations of the benefits, and generally desire self-driving-vehicle technology (though a majority in four out of the six countries surveyed are not willing to pay extra for such technology at this time).

A Rare Case of Myxedema Coma Precipitated by a Single Dose of Haloperidol in a Patient With Paranoid Schizophrenia

Myxedema coma is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when severe hypothyroidism is untreated or inadequately managed. It is characterized by a rapid drop in mental status, hypothermia, respiratory failure, hypotension, and other symptoms of severe metabolic dysfunction. The condition primarily affects older women with a history of thyroid dysfunction but can occur in any age or gender group. A common trigger for this condition is seen with a drop in atmospheric temperatures or during the cold winter months. However, a rare, poorly documented trigger is recent antipsychotic use in severe hypothyroid states. The diagnosis of myxedema coma requires prompt recognition and treatment, as delays can result in significant morbidity and mortality which is the objective of this case report.
Analysis of Willingness to Pay for Toll Users in Central Java Province

Transportation infrastructure is a crucial component of national development. Road infrastructure development could lead to increased productivity, global competitiveness, employment opportunities, real sector growth, and reduced poverty. Therefore, this case study aimed to assess the willingness of toll road users in Central Java Province to pay for toll roads and the extent to which the parameters of gender, education, type of vehicle, and occupation affect the willingness to pay. The study also analyzed the variables influencing the toll user’s willingness to pay (WTP). These variables include road conditions, income, age, type of vehicle, frequency of toll users, and travel destinations. Eviews software was used to analyze the economic impact of toll users through logistics regression. Furthermore, Stata software was used to conduct a descriptive analysis of the questionnaire data. The results showed that the frequency of toll users has the greatest impact on willingness to pay, surpassing traffic conditions, type of vehicle, purpose of travel, and travel time. The odds ratio value for the toll user’s frequency was 66.85 [95% CI (13.02-343.07)]. It means that people using toll access more than 15 times are 66.85 times more willing to pay than those using the roads less frequently.
On photokinetics under monochromatic light

The properties of photokinetics under monochromatic light have not yet been fully described in the literature. In addition, for the last 120 years or so, explicit, handy model equations that can map out the kinetic behaviour of photoreactions have been lacking. These gaps in the knowledge are addressed in the present paper. Several general features of such photokinetics were investigated, including the effects of initial reactant concentration, the presence of spectator molecules, and radiation intensity. A unique equation, standing for a pseudo-integrated rate law, capable of outlining the kinetic behaviour of any photoreaction is proposed. In addition, a method that solves for quantum yields and absorption coefficients of all species of a given photoreaction is detailed. A metric (the initial velocity) has been adopted, and its reliability for the quantification of several effects was proven by theoretical derivation, Runge–Kutta numerical integration calculations and through the model equation proposed. Overall, this study shows that, under monochromatic light, photoreaction kinetics is well described by Φ -order kinetics, which is embodied by a unifying model equation. This paper is aimed at contributing to rationalising photokinetics via reliable, easy-to-use mathematical tools.
Automated Detection of Geomorphic Features in LiDAR Point Clouds of Various Spatial Density

LiDAR, also referred to as laser scanning, has proved to be an important tool for topographic data acquisition. Terrestrial laser scanning allows for accurate (several millimeter) and high resolution (several centimeter) data acquisition at distances of up to some hundred meters. By contrast, airborne laser scanning allows for acquiring homogeneous data for large areas, albeit with lower accuracy (decimeter) and resolution (some ten points per square meter) compared to terrestrial laser scanning. Hence, terrestrial laser scanning is preferably used for precise data acquisition of limited areas such as landslides or steep structures, while airborne laser scanning is well suited for the acquisition of topographic data of huge areas or even country wide.
Seasonal Prevalence of Respiratory Pathogens Among Children in the United Arab Emirates: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study in the Pre-COVID-19 Era

Background Viral respiratory infections in children pose a significant burden on healthcare facilities globally. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE) these account for 15% of all healthcare encounters among children. However, the seasonal prevalence and molecular epidemiology of respiratory viral infections in the UAE remains unknown. We sought to determine trends in seasonal viral prevalence in order to monitor disease activity and optimize the timing of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) prophylaxis among high-risk infants in the UAE. Methods This cross-sectional multicenter study included children 0-18 years of age who presented to a large private healthcare group in Dubai, UAE, and had upper respiratory samples collected for multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) testing between January 1st and December 31st, 2019. Sociodemographic, clinical, and molecular data were examined for children who tested positive for any pathogen on the mPCR panel. Results A total of three thousand and ninety-eight infants and children had mPCR assays performed during the study period, of which 2427 (78.3%) were positive for any respiratory pathogen. The median age of our sample population was 39 months and 56.8% were male. Emergency room was the most common site (34.7%) of sample collection and the vast majority of children presented with fever (85.3%). Rhinovirus/enterovirus was the most prevalent viral infection (45%) throughout the year and peaked in September, followed by Influenza (20.2%), and RSV (17.1%). RSV season, defined as an infection prevalence of >10%, occurred from August to December with a peak in October. Adenovirus (15.6%) infections peaked in June and accounted for 43% of hospitalizations in our study (p<0.05). Viral co-infections with RSV and rhinovirus/enterovirus were most common and observed in 19.9 % of children. Conclusion Rhinovirus/enterovirus is the most prevalent viral pathogen throughout the calendar year among the pediatric population in the UAE. RSV season begins earlier than reported in other countries regionally, hence RSV prophylaxis should be initiated in August to optimize protection among high-risk infants.
Volume components and return predictability in abnormal trading events

This paper examines return predictability of three types of trading volumes include total volumes, buy volumes and sell volumes in Thailand's stock market between 2012 to 2018. To measure predictability ability, we sort securities into group base on the level of trading volumes and type of volumes. We test and confirm that buy volumes and sell volumes can predict return one day after the abnormal trading event. Abnormal high buy volumes can predict positive next day return of that security while abnormal high sell volumes can predict negative next day return. In addition, we test and found that positive return from abnormally high buy volumes is the result of good news signaling. However, we cannot find significant evidence that abnormal high trading volumes from each type can catch investor attention.
