Multifunctional Silver Nanowire Fabric Reinforced by Hot Pressing for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding, Electric Heating, and Sensing

Durability and multifunctionality are crucial considerations in the realm of electronic textiles. Herein, a hot-pressing process has been developed to enhance the fixation of silver nanowires (AgNWs) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric. The conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, and electric heating properties of the hot-pressed fabric were measured to demonstrate the effectiveness of the hot-pressing process. The conductivity of the hot-pressed fabric (180 °C for 90 s) was found to be 464.2 S/m, while that of the fabric without hot pressing was 94.9 S/m. The washed hot-pressed fabric was able to provide a maximum electromagnetic shielding of 17 dB, a negative strain sensing performance (the ΔR/R0 of the hot-pressed fabric was maintained at −15%), and an outstanding electric heating property (the temperature reached 110 °C at a current of 0.08 A). This AgNW fabric holds great potential for use in multi-functional wearable devices, and the hot-pressing process improved its stability and durability, making it suitable for industrial production.
Anatomy of turbulence in a narrow and strongly stratified estuary

[1] More than 400 profiles of (salinity) density and velocity microstructure with 923 turbulent patches were collected over 4 days from an anchored boat with the Portable Flux Profiler (PFP) in the Swan River estuary during the wet season. By using the PFP the buoyancy flux was measured directly and estimated indirectly for this flow. Overturns were suppressed by the strong stratification, and large-scale anisotropy was correlated with turbulent Froude number. The direct measurements of the buoyancy flux exhibited both positive (downgradient) and negative (upgradient) values within the turbulent patches. The net average mixing efficiency was 0.04, less than the commonly used value of 0.17. Therefore the rate of vertical transport was small even though the dissipation levels within the turbulent patches were relatively high. The magnitude of the above mentioned competing fluxes increased with decreasing turbulent Froude numbers even though the net flux when bin-averaged with respect to turbulent Froude number remained close to zero.
Habitats lacustres du Néolithique et de l'âge du Bronze dans les lacs alpins français: bilan des connaissances et perspectives

After a brief historic review of the archaeological research on the French alpine lakes, the current state of research is outlined. For the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age, recent underwater surveys and evaluations illustrated the good state of preservation of the organic cultural layers found in some of the lakeside settlements. This revealed both the potential and also the fragility of these sites.
Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of travoprost 0.004% BAK-free versus prior treatment with latanoprost 0.005% in Japanese patients

Objective: To examine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of travoprost 0.004% benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-free compared with previous use of latanoprost 0.005% in Japanese patients living in the US who had primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Methods: This was an open-label, multicenter, bilateral, intraindividual, and active-controlled study in which 20 Japanese American patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who had been on latanoprost 0.005% monotherapy were changed to monotherapy with travoprost 0.004% BAK-free daily for 12 weeks. Patients were administered the same series of tests to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of latanoprost at the baseline visit and of travoprost BAK-free at the week 12 visit. Results: No significant difference in mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was observed between latanoprost monotherapy at baseline and travoprost BAK-free monotherapy after 12 weeks ( P = 0.76), nor were significant differences noted in mean ocular hyperemia, visual acuity, corneal fluorescein staining, or overall scores from the Ocular Surface Disease Index. Patients had a significantly shorter mean tear breakup time while on latanoprost compared with travoprost BAK-free ( P = 0.0094). Significantly more patients preferred travoprost BAK-free monotherapy over latanoprost monotherapy (14 versus 6; P = 0.011). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that Japanese American patients transitioned from latanoprost 0.005% monotherapy to travoprost 0.004% BAK-free can expect similar IOP control and some improvement in anterior segment signs. This transition study showed a strong patient preference for travoprost BAK-free over latanoprost, at a ratio of more than 2:1.
Characterizing the Paleocene turbidites of the North Sea: Maureen Formation, UK Central Graben

Abstract This study presents an integrated seismic, well and core-based analysis of the Maureen Formation in the Central Graben of the North Sea. Facies analysis reveals that it is possible to divide the Maureen sandstones into amalgamated, sand- and mud-prone divisions, but that the related chalk facies are complex and imply a range of depositional processes including pelagic fallout, debris flows and turbidity currents. These chalk deposits have an impact on the interpretation of amplitude-based seismic attribute volumes. Detailed petrophysical mapping, supported by seismic analysis, reveals that the Maureen sandstones were deposited in distinct western and eastern fairways controlled by the relict Mesozoic rift topography (although offset stacking is an important intragraben process). The spatial extent of the Maureen sandstones is similar to the overlying Sele and Lista formations and suggests that the broad controls on sediment routing were the same throughout the Lower Palaeogene. Other similarities between these systems include the role of sandstone texture in controlling reservoir quality (although the heterolithic nature of the Maureen sandstones means that porosities and permeabilities are lower). A pattern of intraformational progradation and late-stage backstepping of the sandstone units is likely related to sea-level variability.
EFFECT OF VENEERING LAYER THICKNESS ON CUSPAL DEFLECTION OF BI LAYERED FIBER REINFORCED RESIN COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of veneering layer thickness on cuspal deflection of bi-layered fiber-reinforced resin composite restorations. Materials and methods: Two different resin composite restoration systems Short flowable bulk-fill fiber reinforced resin composite (SFRC) (Ever x flow and Essentia universal) and Flowable bulk fill resin composite (FBF) (SDR Flow+ and Neo Spectra ST) were used in this study. 60 premolars were classified into two groups A and B (n= 30) according to the restorative system used. Each group was classified into three subgroups one, two, and three according to the veneering layer thickness (n=10) (0.5 / 1 / 1.5 mm). The specimens were fixed under ZEISS, Stereo zoom Microscope (50 x) was attached to the camera. Three measurements were taken for each specimen, before restoration/ within 5 and 15 minutes. All collected data were tabulated, and subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: A three-way ANOVA test was used to determine the effect of study variables (composite type, thickness, and time point) and their interaction on the cuspal deflection values (at p < 0.05), which revealed that none of the study variables had a significant effect on the cuspal deflection results (p > 0.05). Additionally, the interactions of all variables were not significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it is possible to conclude that neither the type of resin composite nor the veneering layer thickness affected the cuspal deflection result.
The first independent chronology for Middle and Late Weichselian sediments from southern Sweden and the Island of Bornholm

Abstract Conventional Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating using the equivalent dose distributions of 8 mm aliquots have been extended to key stratigraphical sites in southernmost Sweden and the island of Bornholm. The objective has been to bridge the lack of an independent chronology, which might catalyze a new understanding of the ice flow patterns related to the initiation of the Last Glacial Maximum, and the stratigraphical development during the deglaciation sequence. Sediments from proximal environments are usually 10-15 kyr older than expected from regional stratigraphical correlations and radiocarbon dates of mammoth tusks. We propose that OSL signals are inherited from reworked sediments that were sufficiently bleached prior to glacial or glaciofluvial transportation and deposition. Sediments from distal and beach environments seem to indicate proper depositional ages. Thus, the main Weichselian stadial was preceded by almost 20 kyr of ice free conditions, succeeded by an ice advance from south-southeast before northeasterly ice flow predominated. Major inconsistencies still exists for the final deglaciation. Two distinct environmental reconstructions of the uppermost diamict at two separate sites, both superimposed on a periglacial surface, predict either deposition during subaquatic conditions associated with drifting icebergs after 16 kyr or subglacial sedimentation associated with an ice advance in Öresund. It remains unsolved whether the periglacial surface at the two sites can be correlated or if they represent two different stratigraphical levels. In perspective, the introduction of OSL dates in Skåne has identified the periglacial marker horizon or horizons as targets for future intensive dating.
Ergonomic Perspective: Mismatch between Seat Drivers and Anthropometric Measures of Elderly Taxi Drivers in Malaysia

: The ageing community may keep resuming their service even after the pension, which was influenced by their previous work environment. One of the occupations that elderly individuals could engage in is taxi drivers. Feelings of discomfort are generated among drivers when there is a mismatch between the product/device and the user. This study's principal objective is to assess the mismatch between seat drivers and anthropometric measurements among elderly taxi drivers to improve their work environment in term of safety and health. A cross-sectional study was led utilizing a self-administered survey instrument that involved four taxi cars from Proton products on seat measurement. Secondary data applied to obtain anthropometric measurements of elderly taxi drivers, which involved 56 elderly (male) drivers. The anthropometric parameters and seat parameters measured. The mismatch can be determined at any value over 95% or less than 80% of the respondents' total number. The measurements between 80% to 99% are classified as matched to the reference value of the respondents. The cushion width based on the proposed size at 95th percentiles show as much as 91.8% is matched to the width of the hip of the elderly taxi drivers. The backrest width which refers to the proposed measurement at 95th percentiles matched 94.0% the length of elderly taxi drivers' shoulder. The proposed cushion length measurement with knee-length to the buttock of elderly taxi drivers at a 5th percentile is 92.8% matched. The study provides a concrete foundation to identify a mismatch between current seat size with anthropometric of elderly taxi drivers that cause injury or pain due to discomfort while driving in Malaysia. It also helps us initiate the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in health and safety. The baseline data is believed to benefit the automotive industry before the designing process.
THE SUMATRAN FAULT ZONE — FROM SOURCE TO HAZARD

The substantial portion of the dextral component of the Sumatran oblique convergence is accommodated by the Sumatran fault. This 1900 km-long active strike-slip fault zone runs along the backbone of Sumatra pose seismic and fault hazards to dense population on and around the fault zones. The Sumatran fault is highly segmented, and consists of 20 major geometrically defined segments, which range in length from about 60 to 200 km. These segment lengths influenced seismic source dimensions and have limited the magnitudes of large historical fault ruptures to between Mw 6.5 and about 7.7. Slip rates along the fault increase northwestward, from about 5 mm/yr around the Sunda Strait to 27 mm/yr around Toba Lake. These sliprate values provide a quantitative basis for calculation of average expected recurrence periods for large earthquakes on each segment. Deterministic and probabilistic hazard assessments are constructed based on these active fault data.
Development of Eco-Mortars with the Incorporation of Municipal Solid Wastes Incineration Ash

The cement sector is the second largest contributor to anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and several efforts have been made to reduce its environmental impact. One alternative that has gained interest in recent years involves the use of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) as clinker/cement replacement. This paper studies the application of MSWI BA in three different ways: (i) aggregate (0 to 100 v/v %), (ii) partial binder substitute (0 to 30 v/v %), and (iii) filler (5 v/v %). It stands out for its approach in characterizing seven distinct BA particle sizes and for the development and analysis of eco-cement mortars with only mechanically pre-treated BA. Hardened state properties showed that the use of BA as aggregate leads to deterioration and efflorescence formation on the surface of the mortars, making this application unfeasible. The replacement of 15 v/v % of OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) by BA and the use of finer (<63 μm) BA as filler caused a decrease in the compressive strength of the mortar, from 15.8 to 9.3 and 11.0, respectively. However, these materials are suitable for use in walls where the minimum required mechanical resistance is 5 MPa. Furthermore, these mortars demonstrated resilience against freeze–thaw cycles and even exhibited increased compressive strength after 25 cycles. Thus, this work showed that MSWI BA can be used as an OPC substitute (up to 15 v/v %) and as a filler, promoting circular economy principles and reducing CO2 emissions related to the construction industry.

Impact of Changjiang River Discharge on Sea Surface Temperature in the East China Sea

AbstractThis study investigated how the Changjiang River discharge (CRD) emptying into the East China Sea (ECS) affects the upper-ocean stratification [hence, sea surface temperature (SST) changes], based on ocean general circulation modeling with and without CRD. A new finding in this study is that CRD contributes significantly to a reduction in summer SST in the ECS. Comparison between the two model runs revealed that vertical one-dimensional processes contribute considerably to SST warming in the ECS, while horizontal advection plays an important role in lowering SST in summer. The results of a particle-tracking experiment suggested that the cold water mass formed along the Chinese coast during the previous winter contributes to the SST reduction in the following summer. From the end of the summer monsoon season, the less saline CRD advected toward the Chinese coast generates a shallow mixed layer (ML), which inhibits heat exchange between the ML and thermocline. In winter, heat loss of the ML through .
THE LOCAL LANGLANDS CORRESPONDENCE FOR GLn IN FAMILIES

The goal of this paper is to extend, for any non-archimedean local field E of residue characteristic `, the local Langlands correspondence between n-dimensional Weil-Deligne representations of the Weil groupWE and admissible smooth representations of GLn(E) to a correspondence defined on p-adic families of representations of the absolute Galois group GE of E (for primes p distinct from `). Fix an algebraically closed field K containing Qp. Then on one side of the local Langlands correspondence are the n-dimensional, Frobenius-semisimple WeilDeligne representations of WE ; that is, pairs (ρ,N), where ρ is an n-dimensional, semisimple representation of WE over K, and N is a nilpotent endomorphism of the representation space of ρ such that ρ(w)Nρ(w)−1 = q|w|N for all w ∈WE . On the other side are the admissible smooth K-representations of GLn(E); that is, representations π of GLn(E) such that every element of π is fixed by some compact open subset U of GLn(E), and such that, for all such U , the space π U of U -invariant vectors in π is finite-dimensional. The most naive thing one could hope for would be the following: given a family of representations of GE over a complete, Noetherian, local, p-torsion free ring A of characteristic zero and residue characteristic p (that is, a representation ρ : GE → GLn(A) for such an A), one could hope to find an admissible smooth A[GLn(E)]module π such that, for every characteristic zero prime ideal p of A, with residue field κ(p), the representation π⊗Aκ(p) of GLn(E) corresponds, via local Langlands, with the Frobenius-semisimple Weil-Deligne representation attached to ρ⊗A κ(p). A moment’s consideration will show that this is far too much to hope for. Indeed, if ρ is a direct sum of two unramified characters that specializes at a single
Utilization of hydrochemical data for characterization of the karst system: example of Iskrets karst spring, Bulgaria

The paper describes the hydrochemistry of Iskrets Spring, which is one of the largest karst springs of Bul- garia. The spring's water has a composition expressed in equivalent units for cations: Ca2+ > Mg2+ > (Na++K+) and for anions: HCO 3 — > SO 4 2— > NO 3 — > Cl—. Calcium and bicarbonate account present approximately 75% of the ions. The correlations between the concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ to HCO 3 — are strong. The rCa2+/rMg2+ ratio for Iskrets Spring is 3.3, which suggests that the water moves in limestone and dolomite. The main ions Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO 3 — and the tem- perature have strong correlation to spring discharge. The water is undersaturated with respect to calcite and dolomite and the correlation of SI c and SI d to discharge are strong, also. The chemistry of Iskrets Spring is controlled chiefly by discharge and it is independent of the season of year. Comparing the coefficients of variations of Iskrets spring with similar literature data, this spring could be classified as conduit spring.

THE EFFECTS OF FORMAL EDUCATION AND COOPERATIVE MEMBERSHIP ON THE FARM SIZE CULTIVATED BY FAMERS IN ABUJA, NIGERIA

The study examined the effects of formal education and cooperative membership on the farm size cultivated by farmers in Abuja, Nigeria. The study population comprised cooperative and non-cooperative farmers who had no formal school education and those who had primary school education, secondary school education and post secondary school education. To reach these 8 farmer-categories (FAG), a purposive technique was adopted for sample selection while semi-structured questionnaires were used for data collection. A sample of 240 respondents made up of 30 farmers from each of the categories was used for the study. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for data analysis. Results indicated that irrespective of farmers’ educational status, there was significant difference (p 0.05) effect of farmers’ educational status on the farm size but the mean farm size for farmers who had post secondary school education (2.41ha) was relatively higher compared with others. Furthermore, there was no significant (p > 0.05) interaction effect of cooperative membership and education on the size of land cultivated. Based on the result of the interaction of cooperative membership and farmers’ educational status, the paper concluded that the educational status of a cooperative or non-cooperative farmer was not a major determinant of the farm size cultivated in the study area.
