Near-Infrared Absolute Photometric Imaging of the Uranian System

We report the first multifilter set of absolutely calibrated near-infrared images of Uranus, its rings, and three major satellites—Titania, Ariel, and Miranda. Along with imagery utilizing the canonical K filter bandpass (effective wavelength 2.20 μm), absolutely calibrated images of the uranian system are presented for the first time for three additional filter bandpasses: J (1.27 μm), H (1.62 μm), and in a narrow bandpass (0.1 μm full-width-at-half-maximum) centered at 1.73 μm (hereafter designated H′) particularly diagnostic of C–H stretch vibrational absorptions common in hydrocarbons. Multifilter-derived spectra of the southern ring ansa including the bright apoapse of the dominant ϵ ring show no absorptions due to condensable volatiles, including water, ammonia, and light (high H:C) hydrocarbons. Plausible near-infrared spherical geometric and single-scattering particle albedos consistent with Voyager-derived phase functions range from 0.069 to 0.102 and from 0.030 to 0.037, respectively. These are approximately 50% greater than visible values, consistent with the optical properties of charcoal, carbonaceous chondrite material, and the darkside of Iapetus, and consistent with the hypothesis that a primary component of the ring particles is high stoichiometric ratio C:H organics produced by charged-particle and/or photochemical weathering of methane clathrate and/or hydrocarbon ice material originating from nearby moonlets. Additional components consistent with the ring spectrum include silicates such as pyroxene, but not olivine. Analytical modeling of the ring structure indicates ϵ-ring near-infrared opacities of 0.37 ± 0.05 and 1.8 ± 0.3 at apoapsis and periapsis, respectively. Ariel is more than 25% brighter than Miranda and 15% brighter than Titania at all near-infrared wavelengths. Comparisons with UV–visible spectra by Karkoschka (1997,Icarus125, 348–363) show consistency with the hypothesis that the water-ice surfaces of Titania and Ariel are contaminated with low-reflectance, near-IR-reddened substances similar to the weathered high C:H material postulated for the uranian ring system. The relatively blue, near-infrared dark surface of Miranda (full-disk near-infrared albedo of ∼0.22 at 2.4° phase angle) exhibits the greatest water ice absorption band-depth and the largest H- and K-filter brightness surge measured among the uranian satellites, consistent with (1) a markedly heterogeneous surface punctuated with localized outcroppings of relatively pure water ice and (2), as with Titania and Ariel, a surface composition dominated in the near infrared by weathered high C:H material. The uranian disk shows marked latitudinal variability in tropospheric cloud structure, with a “polar cap” of aerosols lying within the planet's southern polar region. This is in sharp contrast with the stratospheric haze structure, which is nearly globally uniform.
A 2941-TOPS/W Charge-Domain 10T SRAM Compute-in-Memory for Ternary Neural Network

In this paper, we present a 10T SRAM compute-in memory (CiM) macro to process the multiplication-accumulation (MAC) operations between ternary-inputs and binary-weights. In the proposed 10T SRAM bitcell, the charge-domain analog computations are employed to improve the noise tolerance of bit-line (BL) signals where the MAC results are represented in CiM. Parallel processing of 3 different analog levels for ternary input activations is also performed in the proposed single 10T bitcell. To reduce the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) bit-resolutions without sacrificing deep neural network (DNN) accuracies, a confined-slope non-uniform integration (CS-NUI) ADC is proposed, which can provide layer-wise adaptive quantization for multiple different layers with different MAC distributions. In addition, by sharing the ADC reference voltage generator in every single column of SRAM array, the ADC area is effectively reduced with improved energy efficiencies of CiM. The $256\times 64.10\text{T}$ SRAM CiM macro with the proposed charge-sharing scheme and CS-NUI ADCs has been implemented using 28nm CMOS process. The silicon measurement results show that the proposed CiM shows the accuracies of 98.66% and 88.48% with MNIST dataset on MLP, and CIFAR-10 dataset on VGGNet-7, respectively, with the energy efficiency of 2941-TOPS/W and the area efficiency of 59.584-TOPS/mm2.
High-resolution second-harmonic optical coherence tomography of collagen in rat-tail tendon

A high-resolution second-harmonic optical coherence tomography (SH-OCT) system is demonstrated using a spectrum broadened femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. An axial resolution of 4. 2μm at the second-harmonic wave center wavelength of 400 nm has been achieved. Because the SH-OCT system uses the second-harmonic generation signals that strongly depend on the orientation, polarization, and local symmetry properties of chiral molecules, this technique provides unique contrast enhancement to conventional optical coherence tomography. The system is applied to image biological tissues of the rat-tail tendon. Highly organized collagen fibrils in the rat-tail tendon can be visualized in recorded images.
The Piezoresponse in WO3 Thin Films Due to N2-Filled Nanovoids Enrichment by Atom Probe Tomography

Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a versatile n-type semiconductor with outstanding chromogenic properties highly used to fabricate sensors and electrochromic devices. We present a comprehensive experimental study related to piezoresponse with piezoelectric coefficient d33 = 35 pmV−1 on WO3 thin films ~200 nm deposited using RF-sputtering onto alumina (Al2O3) substrate with post-deposit annealing treatment of 400 °C in a 3% H2/N2-forming gas environment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms a mixture of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases of WO3 with domains with different polarization orientations and hysteresis behavior as observed by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Furthermore, using atom probe tomography (APT), the microstructure reveals the formation of N2-filled nanovoids that acts as strain centers producing a local deformation of the WO3 lattice into a non-centrosymmetric structure, which is related to piezoresponse observations.
Chromatic dispersion induced distortion of modulated monochromatic light employing direct detection

The spectrum of an intensity modulated (IM) and a combined intensity-frequency modulated (IM-FM) monochromatic light source has been generated. The amplitudes of the modulated carrier and the first three pairs of sidebands are plotted showing the influence of IM on an FM signal. The effects of first order chromatic dispersion on the baseband amplitude response and harmonic distortion are determined. The manner in which modulation type and depth, modulating frequency, wavelength, and fiber length alter harmonic distortion is presented. Numerical examples giving the amplitude response of a single-mode fiber system as well as the magnitude of the second- and third-harmonic distortion caused by chromatic dispersion are presented. Based on this material, the limits placed on analog transmission due to chromatic dispersion may be assessed.
Patient-Specific 3D-Printed Models in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has become increasingly used in the medical field, with reports demonstrating its superior advantages in both educational and clinical value when compared with standard image visualizations or current diagnostic approaches. Patient-specific or personalized 3D printed models serve as a valuable tool in cardiovascular disease because of the difficulty associated with comprehending cardiovascular anatomy and pathology on 2D flat screens. Additionally, the added value of using 3D-printed models is especially apparent in congenital heart disease (CHD), due to its wide spectrum of anomalies and its complexity. This review provides an overview of 3D-printed models in pediatric CHD, with a focus on educational value for medical students or graduates, clinical applications such as pre-operative planning and simulation of congenital heart surgical procedures, and communication between physicians and patients/parents of patients and between colleagues in the diagnosis and treatment of CHD. Limitations and perspectives on future research directions for the application of 3D printing technology into pediatric cardiology practice are highlighted.
Olea europaea Leaf Phenolics Oleuropein, Hydroxytyrosol, Tyrosol, and Rutin Induce Apoptosis and Additionally Affect Temozolomide against Glioblastoma: In Particular, Oleuropein Inhibits Spheroid Growth by Attenuating Stem-like Cell Phenotype

The effects of Olea europaea leaf extract (OLE) phenolics, including oleuropein (OL), hydroxytyrosol (HT), tyrosol (TYR), and rutin against glioblastoma (GB), independently and in combination with temozolomide (TMZ), were investigated in T98G and A172 cells. Cell growth was assessed by WST-1, real-time cell analysis, colony formation, and cell cycle distribution assays. A dual acridine orange propidium iodide (AO/PI) staining and annexin V assay determined cell viability. A sphere-forming assay, an intracellular oxidative stress assay, and the RNA expression of CD133 and OCT4 investigated the GB stem-like cell (GSC) phenotype. A scratch wound-healing assay evaluated migration capacity. OL was as effective as OLE in terms of apoptosis promotion (p < 0.001) and GSC inhibition (p < 0.001). HT inhibited cell viability, GSC phenotype, and migration rate (p < 0.001), but its anti-GB effect was less than the total effect of OLE alone. Rutin decreased reactive oxygen species production and inhibited colony formation and cell migration (p < 0.001). TYR demonstrated the least effect. The additive effects of OL, HT, TYR and rutin with TMZ were significant (p < 0.001). Our data suggest that OL may represent a novel therapeutic approach against GB cells, while HT and rutin show promise in increasing the efficacy of TMZ therapy.
Organizational Commitment Mediating the Influence of Training and Work Motivation on Employee Performance

ackground: Along with the development of technology and information and the need for education in Indonesia which continues to increase, it has resulted in competition among existing universities. Based on data from the Secretariat of the Directorate General of Higher Education, the number of universities in Indonesia reached 4,593, of which 74.09% of the number followed the education reference provided by the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research and Technology (DIKTI). This results in every existing college must be able to improve quality in order to compete with other universities. Aim: This study discusses the effect of training and work motivation on employee performance with organizational commitment as a mediation variable. Method: This research is explanatory research with a quantitative type of research. The sampling technique used in this study was non-probability sampling using saturated samples. Statistical analysis in this study was processed using the SEM-PLS analyzer. Findings: Organizational commitment mediated the role of the influence of work motivation on the performance of educational personnel at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Brawijaya. It is because when employees have very high motivation and the motivation has been fulfilled by the organization, they will be more loyal to the organization and will indirectly improve employee performance.
Quality of Honey Imported into the United Arab Emirates

This study was performed to assess the physicochemical quality characteristics of honey imported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) via Dubai ports between 2017 and 2021. There were 1330 samples analyzed for sugar components, moisture, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, free acidity, and diastase number. Of the honey tested, 1054 samples complied with the Emirates honey standard, but 276 (20.8%) did not; this was due to non-compliance with one or more quality parameters, thus suggesting some level of adulteration, improper storage or inappropriate heat treatment. For the non-compliant samples, the average values of sucrose content ranged from 5.1 to 33.4%; the sum of glucose and fructose ranged from 19.6 to 88.1%; the moisture content varied from 17.2 to 24.6%; the HMF occurred in a range from 83.2 to 663.0 mg/kg, and the acidity varied from 52 to 85 meq/kg. The non-compliant honey samples were grouped according to their country of origin. India was shown to be the country having the highest percentage of non-compliant samples at 32.5% and Germany had the lowest at 4.5%. This study emphasized that the inspection of honey samples traded internationally should involve physicochemical analysis. A comprehensive inspection of honey at the Dubai ports should reduce incidents of adulterated products being imported.
IEF-CSNET: Information Enhancement and Fusion Network for Compressed Sensing Reconstruction

The rapidly growing requirement for data has put forward Compressed Sensing (CS) to realize low-ratio sampling and to reconstruct complete signals. With the intensive development of Deep Neural Network (DNN) methods, performance in image reconstruction from CS measurements is constantly increasing. Currently, many network structures pay less attention to the relevance of before- and after-stage results and fail to make full use of relevant information in the compressed domain to achieve interblock information fusion and a great receptive field. Additionally, due to multiple resamplings and several forced compressions of information flow, information loss and network structure redundancy inevitably result. Therefore, an Information Enhancement and Fusion Network for CS reconstruction (IEF-CSNET) is proposed in this work, and a Compressed Information Extension (CIE) module is designed to fuse the compressed information in the compressed domain and greatly expand the receptive field. The Error Comprehensive Consideration Enhancement (ECCE) module enhances the error image by incorporating the previous recovered error so that the interlink among the iterations can be utilized for better recovery. In addition, an Iterative Information Flow Enhancement (IIFE) module is further proposed to complete the progressive recovery with loss-less information transmission during the iteration. In summary, the proposed method achieves the best effect, exhibits high robustness at this stage, with the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) improved by 0.59 dB on average under all test sets and sampling rates, and presents a greatly improved speed compared with the best algorithm.
Oral Administration of Lotus-Seed Resistant Starch Protects against Food Allergy

Food allergy is a serious food safety and public health issue. However, the medical interventions for allergy treatment are still suboptimal. Recently, the gut microbiome–immune axis has been considered as a promising target to reduce the symptoms of food allergy. In this study, we explore the oral administration of lotus-seed resistant starch as a means to protect against food allergy using an ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and challenge rodent model. The results obtained showed that lotus-seed resistant starch intervention alleviated the food allergy symptoms (such as reductions in body temperature and allergic diarrhea). Furthermore, lotus-seed resistant starch also attenuated the increase in OVA-specific immunoglobulins and improved Th1/Th2 imbalance in OVA-sensitized mice. These anti-allergic effects might be associated with the actions of lotus-seed resistant starch on intestinal microbiota. Taken together, our findings suggest that daily ingestion of lotus-seed resistant starch might be effective for the alleviation of food allergy.
Switching from Rasagiline to Safinamide as an Add-On Therapy Regimen in Patients with Levodopa: A Literature Review

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex disease, and the treatment is focused on the patient’s clinical symptoms. Levodopa continues to be the most effective drug for symptomatic PD treatment. However, chronic levodopa treatment is associated with the development of motor complications in most patients. Add-on therapeutic drugs, such as dopamine agonists and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors, for example, safinamide and rasagiline, may be a desirable addition to continuously increase the levodopa dose for the optimization of motor control in PD. The scientific literature shows that safinamide significantly alleviated motor fluctuations with no increase in troublesome dyskinesia, thanks to its unique double mechanism, providing further benefits to fluctuating PD patients when compared to a placebo or other drugs. Switching from rasagiline to safinamide has been shown to improve the wearing-off phenomena, which is defined as the recurrent, predictable worsening of symptoms of parkinsonism at the end of the levodopa dose until the next dose reaches a clinical effect. In this situation, safinamide may be helpful for reducing the total daily dose of levodopa, improving the OFF time and ON time without troublesome dyskinesias, and being more effective than other MAO-B inhibitors. In this narrative review, we explore the switch from rasagiline to safinamide in patients with motor complications as a feasible and effective alternative to optimize antiparkinsonian treatment.
Effects of High-protein, Leucine-enriched Oral Nutritional Supplement and Resistance Exercise on Physical Performance among Malnourished Older Adults with Sarcopenia

Background: Malnutrition combined with sarcopenia among older adults has resulted in poor outcomes, diminished quality of life (QoL), and increased mortality rates. Inadequate calorie and protein intake are factors contributing to sarcopenia. Specific nutritional interventions and exercise regimens may improve muscle strength and health outcomes. Aim: To determine the effects of a high-protein, leucine-enriched oral nutritional supplement (ONS) and resistance training (RT) on physical performance, muscle strength, QoL
Unsteady fluid mechanics of annular swirling shear layers

The vast majority of gas turbine combustor systems employ swirl injectors to produce a central toroidal recirculation zone (CTRZ) which entrains and recirculates a portion of the hot combustion gases to provide continuous ignition to the incoming air-fuel mix. In addition to these primary functions, swirl injectors often generate multiple aerodynamic instability modes which are helical in nature with characteristic frequencies that can differ by many orders of magnitude. If any of these frequencies are consistent with prevalent acoustic modes within the combustor there is a potential for flow-acoustic coupling which may reinforce acoustic oscillations and drive combustion instabilities via the Rayleigh criterion. The aerodynamic performance of the swirl injector is thus of great practical importance to the design and development of combustion systems and there is a strong desire within industry for reliable computational methods that can predict this highly unsteady behaviour. This assessment can be made under isothermal conditions which avoids the complex interactions that occur in reacting flow. The goal of the present work was to compare and contrast the performance of Unsteady Reynolds- Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) CFD methodologies for a combustion system equipped with a derivative of an industrial Turbomeca swirl injector as this exhibits similar unsteady aerodynamic behaviour under reacting and isothermal conditions.

Late Cretaceous‐Early Paleogene Extensional Ancestry of the Harcuvar and Buckskin‐Rawhide Metamorphic Core Complexes, Western Arizona

Metamorphic core complexes in the western North American Cordillera are commonly interpreted as the result of a single phase of large‐magnitude extension during the middle to late Cenozoic. We present evidence that mylonitic shear zones in the Harcuvar and Buckskin‐Rawhide core complexes in west‐central Arizona also accommodated an earlier phase of extension during the Late Cretaceous to early Paleocene. Microstructural data indicate substantial top‐NE mylonitization occurred at amphibolite‐facies, and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology documents post‐tectonic footwall cooling to <500°C by the Paleocene to mid‐Eocene. Amphibolite‐facies mylonites are spatially associated with voluminous and variably deformed footwall leucogranites that were emplaced from ca. 74–64 Ma, and a late kinematic ca. 63 Ma dike indicates this phase of mylonitization had waned by the early Paleocene. Reconstruction of the footwall architecture indicates that this latest Cretaceous—early Paleocene deformation occurred within a NE‐dipping extensional shear zone. The leucogranites were likely the result of crustal melting due to orogenic thickening, consistent with a model whereby crustal heating triggered gravitational collapse of overthickened crust. Other tectonic processes, such as the Laramide underplating of Orocopia Schist or mantle delamination, may have also contributed to this episode of orogenic extension. Miocene large‐magnitude extension was superimposed on this older shear zone and had similar kinematics, suggesting that the location and geometry of Miocene extension was strongly influenced by tectonic inheritance. We speculate that other Cordilleran core complexes also experienced a more complex and polyphase extensional history than previously recognized, but in many cases the evidence may be obscured by later Miocene overprinting.

In Vitro Hemocompatibility and Genotoxicity Evaluation of Dual-Labeled [99mTc]Tc-FITC-Silk Fibroin Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Nuclear imaging is a highly sensitive and noninvasive imaging technique that has become essential for medical diagnosis. The use of radiolabeled nanomaterials capable of acting as imaging probes has shown rapid development in recent years as a powerful, highly sensitive, and noninvasive tool. In addition, quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images performed by incorporating radioisotopes into nanoparticles (NPs) might improve the evaluation and the validation of potential clinical treatments. In this work, we present a direct method for [99mTc]Tc-radiolabeling of FITC-tagged silk fibroin nanoparticles (SFN). NPs were characterized by means of dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. In vitro studies were carried out, including the evaluation of stability in biological media and the evaluation of hemocompatibility and genotoxicity using the cytokinesis block micronucleus (CBMN) assay. The radiolabeling method was reproducible and robust with high radiolabeling efficiency (∼95%) and high stability in biological media. Hydrodynamic properties of the radiolabeled NPs remain stable after dual labeling. The interaction of SFN with blood elicits a mild host response, as expected. Furthermore, CBMN assay did not show genotoxicity induced by [99mTc]Tc-FITC-SFN under the described conditions. In conclusion, a feasible and robust dual-labeling method has been developed whose applicability has been demonstrated in vitro, showing its value for further investigations of silk fibroin NPs biodistribution in vivo.
