New Methodology in Interpretation of Aeromagnetic Anomalies over Pipe-Like Sources using Analytic Signal Ratio Approach

Concepts of signal processing like Fourier transform, filtering, power spectrum, derivatives etc., are widely used in geophysical models in exploring the Earth structures. For example, quantitative interpretation of aeromagnetic maps is based mainly on choosing an appropriate model for evaluating parameters of the causative source. For circular or elliptical anomalies caused by plug-like intrusive sources, the vertical pipe of infinite depth extent (also known as single or mono pole) is most suited. It is also more common to use analytic signal maps in interpretation. For a vertical pipe, the total magnetic intensity (TMI) anomaly is anti-symmetric at the magnetic equator and progressively becomes symmetric at the pole. Based on this property, a new methodology is developed for identifying location and depth of magnetic structures beneath. It is concluded that the analytic signal is almost symmetric for any magnetic latitude and by using both the properties of the anomaly and its analytic signal the location and depth can be evaluated. This new approach is validated by field examples. HIGHLIGHTS The theory and application of using analytic signal to determine the location and depth to the point pole is described The method is useful in locating pipe-like (vertical cylinder, kimberlite pipes) structures The shape of the magnetic anomaly changes with magnetic inclination whereas the analytic signal map is symmetric and almost circular, with its maximum centred over the top of the pipe The analytic signal is almost symmetric for any magnetic latitude and by using both the properties of the anomaly and its analytic signal, the location and depth to the top can be evaluated GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Long-term declines in atmospheric nitrogen and sulfur deposition reduce critical loads exceedances at multiple Canadian rural sites, 2000–2018

Abstract. Daily air concentrations of inorganic nitrogen (N) species, including gaseous HNO3 and particulate-bound (p)NH4+ and pNO3-, and sulfur (S) species, including SO2 and pSO42-, and precipitation concentrations of NO3-, NH4+, and SO42-, have been routinely monitored by the Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN) since 1983. Data at 15 rural sites from 2000–2018 were used to estimate dry and wet N and S deposition fluxes, which were then used to explore their spatiotemporal trends and assess ecosystem damage through a retrospective analysis of critical loads (CLs) exceedances. Total (dry + wet) N deposition ranged from 1.7–9.5 kgNha-1yr-1 among the 15 sites, though dry deposition of NH3 and some oxidized N species were not included due to lack of monitoring data. Based on additional N measurements in 2010 at one of the sites, annual total N deposition may be underestimated by up to 32 %. Total N deposition was dominated by wet NO3- and wet NH4+ deposition, which together comprised 71 %–95 %. Contributions to dry N deposition were 40 %–74 % by HNO3, 11 %–40 % by pNH4+, and 5 %–25 % by pNO3-. Total S deposition ranged from 1.3–8.5 kgSha-1yr-1 and was dominated by wet deposition of SO42- and dry deposition of SO2. Relative percentages of wet and dry S deposition were 45 %–89 % and 11 %–55 %, respectively. Acidic ion fluxes were greatest in southeastern Canada and were comparable among the west coast, prairie, remote, and eastern Canadian sites. Oxidized N (dry HNO3, dry pNO3-, wet NO3-) deposition was greater than that of reduced N (dry pNH4+, wet NH4+) in the early 2000s. In 2014–2018, reduced N deposition surpassed that of oxidized N in southeastern Canada. Total N and S deposition decreased significantly at a rate of −0.03 to −0.25 kgNha-1yr-1 (−1.1 % yr−1 to −3.3 % yr−1) and −0.08 to −0.66 kgSha-1yr-1 (−3.5 % yr−1 to −6.6 % yr−1), respectively, among the sites. The weak declining trend in total N deposition at the west coast site was consistent with the slower decline in NOx emissions in western Canada. Reductions in total N deposition were driven by its oxidized form as trends in reduced N were non-significant. As a result, reduced N contributions to total N deposition increased on average from 42 % in 2000–2004 to 53 % in 2014–2018. Anthropogenic NOx and SO2 emissions reductions in both eastern Canada and eastern US were highly effective in reducing total oxidized N and total S deposition, respectively, in eastern Canada. Acidic deposition exceeded terrestrial CL at 5 of the 14 sites and aquatic CL at 2 of the 5 sites in the early 2000s. However, exceedances have been trending downwards and acidic deposition fluxes were mostly near or below CL after 2012 for the subset of sites assessed, which support recovery from historical acidification. Further assessments of CL exceedances are required in other Canadian regions susceptible to acidification and affected by elevated or increasing N and S emissions.
Regular spectra in the vibron model with random interactions

The phenomenom of emerging regular spectral features from random interactions is addressed in the context of the vibron model. A mean-field analysis links different regions of the parameter space with definite geometric shapes. The results that are, to a large extent, obtained in closed analytic form provide a clear and transparent interpretation of the high degree of order that has been observed in numerical studies.
Identification of Potential Artefacts in In Vitro Measurement of Vanadium-Induced Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Production

We investigated vanadium, i.e., a redox-active heavy metal widely known for the generation of oxidative stress in cultured mammalian cells, to determine its ability to interfere with common oxidative stress-related bioassays in cell-free conditions. We first assessed the prooxidant abilities (H2O2 level, oxidation of DHR 123, and DCFH-DA dyes) and antioxidant capacity (ABTS, RP, OH, and DPPH methods) of popular mammalian cell culture media, i.e., Minimal Essential Medium (MEM), Dulbecco’s Minimal Essential Medium (DMEM), Dulbecco’s Minimal Essential Medium-F12 (DMEM/F12), and RPMI 1640. Out of the four media studied, DMEM has the highest prooxidant and antioxidant properties, which is associated with the highest concentration of prooxidant and antioxidant nutrients in its formulation. The studied vanadium compounds, vanadyl sulphate (VOSO4), or sodium metavanadate (NaVO3) (100, 500, and 1000 µM), either slightly increased or decreased the level of H2O2 in the studied culture media. However, these changes were in the range of a few micromoles, and they should rather not interfere with the cytotoxic effect of vanadium on cells. However, the tested vanadium compounds significantly stimulated the oxidation of DCFH-DA and DHR123 in a cell-independent manner. The type of the culture media and their pro-oxidant and antioxidant abilities did not affect the intensity of oxidation of these dyes by vanadium, whereas the vanadium compound type was important, as VOSO4 stimulated DCFH-DA and DHR oxidation much more potently than NaVO3. Such interactions of vanadium with these probes may artefactually contribute to the oxidation of these dyes by reactive oxygen species induced by vanadium in cells.
Three-lobed near-infrared Stokes V profiles in the quiet Sun

Context. The 1.5-m GREGOR solar telescope can resolve structures as small as 0.4′′ at near-infrared wavelengths on the Sun. At this spatial resolution the polarized solar spectrum shows complex patterns, such as large horizontal and/or vertical variations of the physical parameters in the solar photosphere. Aims. We investigate a region of the quiet solar photosphere exhibiting three-lobed Stokes V profiles in the Fe I spectral line at 15 648 Å. The data were acquired with the GRIS spectropolarimeter attached to the GREGOR telescope. We aim at investigating the thermal, kinematic and magnetic properties of the atmosphere responsible for these measured complex signals. Methods. The SIR inversion code is employed to retrieve the physical parameters of the lower solar photosphere from the observed polarization signals. We follow two different approaches. On the one hand, we consider that the multi-lobe circular polarization signals are only produced by the line-of-sight variation of the physical parameters. We therefore invert the data assuming a single atmospheric component that occupies the entire resolution element in the horizontal plane and where the physical parameters vary with optical depth τ (i.e., line-of-sight). On the other hand, we consider that the multi-lobe circular polarization signals are produced not by the optical depth variations of the physical parameters but instead by their horizontal variations. Here we invert the data assuming that the resolution element is occupied by two different atmospheric components where the kinematic and magnetic properties are constant along the line-of-sight. Results. Both approaches reveal some common features about the topology responsible for the observed three-lobed Stokes V signals: both a strong (>1000 Gauss) and a very weak (<10 Gauss) magnetic field with opposite polarities and harboring flows directed in opposite directions must co-exist (either vertically or horizontally interlaced) within the resolution element. Conclusions.

Factors Affecting Cultural Competence in a Sample of Nursing Students during the Prolonged COVID-19 Pandemic in Republic of Korea: A Cross-Sectional Study

Globally, foreign citizens, particularly ethnic and racial minorities, experienced discrimination and received imbalanced medical services and insufficient economic resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to examine the factors that affect the cultural competence of nursing students. This is descriptive cross-sectional study adheres to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. A convenience sample of 235 nursing students from two nursing colleges in D city completed an online Google Forms questionnaire from 9 August to 12 August 2022. The self-report questionnaire included a sociodemographic data form, a cultural intelligence scale, an ethnocentrism scale, a global competence scale, and a cultural competence scale. The mean score of cultural competence was 95.39 ± 15.64 (out of 135 points); cultural competence was significantly positively correlated with cultural intelligence and global competence (p < 0.001), and significantly negatively correlated with ethnocentrism (p < 0.001). The factors that significantly affected cultural competence were cultural intelligence (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) and global competence (β = 0.37, p < 0.001). The explanatory power of these effects was 47.3%. To improve the cultural competence of nursing students, it is necessary to develop, apply, and evaluate the results of curriculum and programs that can enhance the cultural intelligence and global competence of nursing students.
A Satisficing Theory of Epistemic Justification

Abstract There is now a significant body of literature on consequentialist ethics that propose satisficing instead of maximizing accounts. Even though epistemology recently witnessed a widespread discussion of teleological and consequentialist theories, a satisficing account is surprisingly not developed yet. The aim of this paper is to do just that. The rough idea is that epistemic rules are justified if and only if they satisfice the epistemic good, i.e., reach some threshold of epistemic value (which varies with practical context), and believing is justified if and only if it follows said rules. I argue that this alternative to the implicitly established way of thinking in maximizing terms has significant advantages. First, maximizing epistemic value can be unreasonably demanding; second, a satisficing theory can make finding reasonable rules for belief formation and sustenance much more accessible; and third, a satisficing approach is a better alternative to both general subjectivist and maximizing objectivist attempts to spell out epistemic blame.
Entrepreneurial commitment, entrepreneurial competence, towards business performance through business competitiveness development

Wajo Regency is the best silk weaving industrial area in South Sulawesi, but the emergence of several competitors for silk fabrics from abroad, and various modern-style fabric products that are variously supplied by wholesalers from outside the South Sulawesi area indirectly affect the movement of market. This study aims to determine the effect of entrepreneurial commitment, entrepreneurial competence and competitiveness of the silk industry on the business performance of silk entrepreneurs. The type of research is a quantitative research methodology. The research was conducted on a silk business located in Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi Province. A total of 357 samples were obtained using the cluster random sampling technique based on the Krejcie and Morgan tables. Data collection method employing a scale that uses the Likert scale. Data analysis techniques using the SmartPLS 3.0 software's path analysis, it was found that commitment, entrepreneurial competence has a significant effect on business performance, commitment has a significant effect on the development of competitiveness, and entrepreneurial competence has not significant effect on the development of competitiveness. The results found that the entrepreneurial competence of silk entrepreneurs was still lacking in developing the competitiveness of the silk business.
Observational evidence for mass ejection accompanying short gamma ray bursts

The plateau in the duration distribution of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs) provides a direct observational evidence for the Collapsar model. The plateau reflects the fact that the observed duration satisfies: $T_{90} = t_{e}-t_{b}$ where $t_{e}$ is the time that the central engine operates and $t_{b}$ is a threshold time, interpreted within the Collapsar model as the time it takes for the relativistic jet to penetrate the stellar envelope. Numerical simulation and macronova observations suggest that compact binary mergers involve mass ejection. If short-Gamma Ray Bursts (sGRBs) arise from such mergers, their jets should cross this surrounding ejecta before producing the prompt emission. Like in LGRBs, this should result in a distinct short plateau in the GRBs' duration distribution. We present a new analysis of the duration distribution for the three GRB satellites: BATSE, {\it Swift} and Fermi. We find a clear evidence for a short ($\sim 0.4$ sec) plateau in the duration distribution. This plateau is consistent with the expected jet crossing time, provided that the ejecta is of order of a few percent of solar masses.

Received 30 July 2007; revised manuscript received 19 November 2007; published 17 March 2008Rubrene single crystals with well-developed 100 faces extending along the 010 direction were equippedwith two planar gold electrodes deposited under low thermal load on the same crystal surface. The current-voltage curves measured on crystals with various thicknesses were analyzed by means of the space-charge-limited current model. In all cases, the curves present a clear trap-ﬁlled transition that allows extracting thetrap-free mobility along the
The Mixmaster universe is chaotic

For the past decade there has been a considerable debate about the existence of chaos in the mixmaster cosmological model. The debate has been hampered by the coordinate, or observer dependence of standard chaotic indicators such as Lyapanov exponents. Here we use coordinate independent, fractal methods to show the mixmaster universe is indeed chaotic.
Attentional Strategies in Place-Value Integration

To process a multi-digit number its constituting digits need to be integrated into the place-value structure of the Arabic number system. For two-digit numbers, processes of unit-decade integration are reflected by the compatibility effect in magnitude comparison. Recent research in adults indicated that the size of the compatibility effect increases when stimuli prevent to focus on the decade digits as achieved by the inclusion of within-decade items (43_47). In the present study within- and between-decade items (47_62) were used to assess the compatibility effect in children. We observed reliable compatibility effects that increased with grade level and that were larger than in a previous study without within-decade stimuli. Furthermore, evaluation of the developmental trajectories showed that two-digit number processing develops to more automatic parallel processing of the constituent digits of tens and units. From these results we conclude that (i) even for children attentional processes can strongly .
The Response of Weeds and Apple Trees to Beneficial Soil Microorganisms and Mineral Fertilizers Applied in Orchards

The effect of beneficial soil fungi, bacteria and mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the level and species composition of weed infestation, uptake of macronutrients by weeds and the nutritional status of ‘Sampion’ apple trees with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) was assessed in three-year studies. In the field experiment, the effect of thirteen treatments was investigated, where fungal or bacterial inocula and mineral fertilizers at a standard dose and a dose reduced by 40% were applied individually or together. The fungal inoculum contained two species: Aspergillus niger and Purpureocillium lilacinum. The bacterial consortium consisted of three Bacillus strains: Bacillus sp. , Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Paenibacillus polymyxa. The weight of weeds and the uptake of macronutrients by weeds in the apple orchard increased significantly more after the application of mineral fertilization than after the application of beneficial organisms. The increased uptake of macronutrients by weeds did not significantly change the mineral nutritional status of apple trees expressed as the content of N, P, K Mg and Ca in apple leaves. After the use of NPK mineral fertilization, also with the addition of beneficial organisms, the uptake of N by both weeds and apple trees increased. P and K were more efficiently absorbed by weeds and they achieved greater benefits from fertilization with these two macroelements than trees.
Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment in Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Simple Summary The bone marrow (BM) microenvironment regulates normal hematopoiesis and exerts variable activity in various inflammatory, toxic, autoimmune, or neoplastic diseases and conditions. Most importantly, it has a major role in the pathogenesis of BM failure syndromes and particularly of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), in which it is dynamically implicated in the early phase of their pathogenesis, as well as in their course and evolution. This review presents a concise overview of the literature, highlighting the impact of the immune component of the BM microenvironment during normal hematopoiesis, in chronic inflammatory states, and in low- and high-risk MDS, laying the ground for further research on the cellular and biochemical immune parameters that participate in early stages of MDS pathogenesis and in disease evolution. Abstract The BM, the major hematopoietic organ in humans, consists of a pleiomorphic environment of cellular, extracellular, and bioactive compounds with continuous and complex interactions between them, leading to the formation of mature blood cells found in the peripheral circulation. Systemic and local inflammation in the BM elicit stress hematopoiesis and drive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) out of their quiescent state, as part of a protective pathophysiologic process. However, sustained chronic inflammation impairs HSC function, favors mutagenesis, and predisposes the development of hematologic malignancies, such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Apart from intrinsic cellular mechanisms, various extrinsic factors of the BM immune microenvironment (IME) emerge as potential determinants of disease initiation and evolution. In MDS, the IME is reprogrammed, initially to prevent the development, but ultimately to support and provide a survival advantage to the dysplastic clone. Specific cellular elements, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are recruited to support and enhance clonal expansion. The immune-mediated inhibition of normal hematopoiesis contributes to peripheral cytopenias of MDS patients, while immunosuppression in late-stage MDS enables immune evasion and disease progression towards acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this review, we aim to elucidate the role of the mediators of immune response in the initial pathogenesis of MDS and the evolution of the disease.
APPLICATION OF THE EDDY DAMPED QUASI-NORMAL MARKOVIAN SPECTRAL TRANSPORT THEORY TO PREMIXED TURBULENT FLAME PROPAGATION

The eddy damped quasi-normal Markovian (EDQNM) turbulence theory was applied to a modified Kuramoto–Sivashinsky field equation to develop a spectral model for investigating the single and two-point scalar statistics associated with a flame front (treated as a passive scalar interface) propagating through isotropic turbulence. As a result of the presence of a uniform mean gradient in the scalar field, all correlations involving the scalar were found to be functions of both the wave number, k, and μ, the cosine of the angle between the k vector and the mean gradient vector. An infinite Legendre expansion separated out the wave number and angle dependencies, where the first term in each series accounted for the isotropic contribution to the correlations and the higher order terms accounted for the anisotropy introduced as a result of the mean gradient. It was found that while strong anisotropy existed in the scalar field at short times, at steady state the scalar field became nearly isotropic. A parameter st.
