3‐D Density Structure of the Lunar Mascon Basins Revealed by a High‐Efficient Gravity Inversion of the GRAIL Data

The lunar mascon basins are characterized by high gravity anomalies and thin crust. Study of the density structure beneath the mascon basins can help to understand the origin of these gravity anomalies and infer their formation and evolution. We propose an efficient forward gravity method based on the 3‐D Gauss‐Legendre quadrature (GLQ) and Fast Fourier Transforms combined with the adaptive discretization strategy to ensure high accuracy. The numerical example demonstrates that computational efficiency is increased by about three orders of magnitude compared to the traditional 3D GLQ method. We employ this forward method in a 3‐D inversion of the gravity data derived from the lunar gravity model GL1500E. The inverted results show prominent high‐density structures (namely, mascons) representing significant mantle uplift and thinned crust beneath most impact basins. Marked low‐density rings surround the mascons. Most of the corresponding low‐density anomalies extend from the near‐surface to the Moho, indicating a thick, low‐density crust. Our density model is consistent with the formation processes of mascons that an impact causes collapse of the transient crater and then the shocked mantle drives mantle flow. The low‐density rings surrounding the mascons may stem from the crust thickening following an impact and extensive fracturing of the crustal column.
Correlation of morphology and photoluminescence properties of gehlenite: Eu glassy phosphors

In this study, gehlenite: Eu glassy powders were synthesized from two common Si sources, silicon tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and silicon acetate (SiA), using spray pyrolysis. Its morphology and chemical composition were studied. The morphological results suggested that the SiA-derived powder contained more porous particles than the TEOS-derived powder. The two gehlenite powders thus formed were found to have similar chemical compositions. Accordingly, porous gehlenite: Eu glassy phosphor seems to exhibit superior PL properties, which have the potential to be exploited in novel phosphor materials.
Frequency of dealing with dreams within a professional context and sizes of dreamer networks: An online survey

Previous research has indicated that dreams are often shared, most frequently within the intimate social networks of the dreamers. The present online survey was completed by 1808 participants (1110 women, 698 men) with a mean age 45.64 ± 15.33 years. About 24% of the participants reported that they had dealt with dreams within professional contexts, and about 50% of the participants reporting that they know at least one person who is regularly engaged in dream topics. Overall, the findings indicate that most dream sharing takes place in private settings, e.g., partnerships, but this study is the first to show that at least some of the dream sharing also occurs within professional contexts. To expand the findings of this exploratory study it would be interesting to investigate the nature and context of dream sharing within professional contexts more deeply.
Chemical Compositions in Modified Salinity Waterflooding of Carbonate Reservoirs -- Experiment

Modified or low-salinity waterflooding of carbonate oil reservoirs is of considerable economic interest because of potentially inexpensive incremental oilproduction. The injected modified brine changes the surface chemistry of the carbonate rock and crude oil interfaces and detaches some adhered crude oil.Composition design of the modified brine to enhance oil recovery is determined by labor-intensive trial-and-error laboratory corefloods. Unfortunately, limestone,which predominantly consists of aqueous-reactive calcium carbonate, alters injected brine composition by mineral dissolution/precipitation. Accordingly, the rock reactivityhinders rational design of the tailored brine to improve oil recovery. Previously, we presented a theoretical analysis of 1D, single-phase brine injection into calcium carbonate-rock that accounts for mineral dissolution, ionexchange, and dispersion (Yutkin et. al 2021). Here we present the results of single-phase waterflood-brine experiments that verify the theoretical framework. We show that concentration histories eluted from Indiana limestone cores possess features characteristic of fast calciumcarbonate dissolution, 2:1 ion exchange, and high dispersion. The injected brine reaches chemical equilibrium inside the porous rock even atinjection rates higher than 1000 ft/day. Ion exchange results in salinity waves observed experimentally, while high dispersion is responsible for longconcentration history tails. Using the verified theoretical framework, we briefly explore how these processes modify aqueous-phase composition during the injection of designer brines into a calcium-carbonate reservoir. Because of high salinity of the initial and injected brines, ion exchange affects injected concentrations only inhigh surface area carbonates/limestones, such as chalks. Calcium-carbonate dissolution only affects aqueous solution pH. The rock surface composition is affected by all processes.
Extraction of a low-amplitude component orthogonal to the recorded cardiac impulse

The problem of the cardiac signal extraction from a low-amplitude high-frequency component invisible on conventional electrocardiography (ECG) is considered. For this purpose, the original ECG model, which includes a highamplitude component, a low-amplitude component, and random noise, is used. We have proposed the method to extract the orthogonal high-amplitude and low-amplitude components from the recorded cardiac pulse sequence in the form of the first two components of the matrix singular decomposition composed of a set of cardiac pulses. In contrast to Simson’s method, the proposed method does not assume cardiac signal averaging over a large (about several hundred cardiac pulses) sequence as well as the averaged signal filtering. The low-amplitude component is extracted from a short (about 10 s) ECG recording. We have used a mathematical model to examine the stability of the proposed method to the correlation of the high-amplitude and low-amplitude components of the cardiac signal as well as to the influence of random noise. It is shown that the high-amplitude component is steadily extracted in the entire range of the change in noise level and correlation of the regular components of the cardiac signal. At the same time, the low-amplitude component is significantly distorted when the pair correlation coefficient with the high-amplitude component is greater than 0.2 or noise level is greater than 0.4.
TOWARDS INPOP07, ADJUSTMENTS TO LLR DATA

INPOP06 is the latest numerical planetary ephemeris developed at IMCCE (ParisObservatory). In this version, the motion of planets has been fitted to observations (Fienga et al. 2008). In INPOP07, currently in development, the motion of the Moon will be moreover fitted to Lunar Laser Ranging observations (about 17000 data over 36 years, from 3 different sites). We present here our fitting process, the physical effects taken into account in the computation of the residuals and our latest results. 1. REDUCTION OF OBSERVATIONS A LLR data is the measurement of the round-trip travel time for laser pulses between a station on the Earth and a lunar reflector. The expression of the outward journey (a similar computation can be made for the downward one) is: ∆T = ‖ −−→ BL2 + −−→ LR2 − ( −−→ BE1 + −−→ ES1)‖ c +∆TGR +∆Tatm (1) where • c is the speed of the light • −−→ BL2 is the solar system barycentric position of the center of mass of the Moon at time of reflection • −−→ LR2 is the selenocentric position of the reflector at time of reflection • −−→ BE1 is the solar system barycentric position of the center of mass of the Earth at time of emission • −−→ ES1 is the geocentric position of the station at time of emission • ∆TGR is the time delay due to the light deviation due to the curvature of space • ∆Tatm is a time delay due to the atmosphere All these vectors are expressed in the ICRF. The coordinates of −−→ BL2 and −−→ BE1 are directly provided by the INPOP ephemeris. From the fixed positions of the reflectors in the selenocentric reference frame, some small displacements are added, due to the solid tides raised by the Earth and the Sun, and due to the variation of the spin of the Moon. The transformation to the ICRF to obtain −−→ LR2 is then obtained using the libration angles that are integrated in INPOP at the same time as the orbits of the planets. Finally, −−→ ES1 is computed according to the IERS Conventions 2003 (McCarthy and Petit, 2004). From the position of the station in ITRF2000, some small displacements due to the following physical effects are taken into account: • tectonic plate motion • solid tides raised by the Sun and the Moon
Event-Triggered Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Control for Unknown Nonlinear Systems With Applications to Linear Motor

This article presents an event-triggered adaptive asymptotic tracking control method based on the low-complexity design architecture to reduce the communication and computational resources of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown control directions and actuator faults. By utilizing a systematic codesign of backstepping and an event-triggered mechanism, the proposed adaptive fault-tolerant control method exploits only error transformation variables associated with prescribed performance specifications, without the use of any compensators or approximation structures to handle unknown nonlinearities and actuator and component faults. This design provides a robust method, through which the controller can effectively address external disturbances, unknown system uncertainties, and actuator and component faults, while eliminating the explosion of complexity problem in backstepping. Asymptotic stability analysis of the closed-loop system is conducted, and the Zeno behavior is avoided. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated through applications to linear motor systems.
Efficacy of Virtual Reality Based Worry Exposure Therapy on the Anxiety Severity and Worry in Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Background: Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders observed in clinical centers and the general population. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality-based worry exposure therapy on the Anxiety Severity and worry in patients with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the framework of a single-subject experimental design using Multiple baselines with a 6-week follow-up. Three women with GAD were selected through a structured clinical interview based on the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 by Convenience Sampling among those who referred to the Counseling centers in Tabriz. The protocol of this study followed the manual by Becker and Margraf which describes imaginal exposure for GAD applied in 15 sessions. The only difference was that in this research exposure to virtual reality replaced with imagination. In this study, three 360-degree films were made by the researcher used for exposure. The content made in the form of 360-degree videos and displayed to patients through virtual reality tools. The scales to assess changes in Anxiety Severity and worry include The Penn State Worry Questionnaire and The Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale. Data analyzed with visuals inspection, improvement percentage, and reliable change index strategies. Results: Results showed that virtual reality-based worry exposure therapy has significant efficiency on the reduction of Anxiety Severity and worry clinically and statistically (p<0.05). Conclusion: Virtual reality-based worry exposure therapy has appropriate efficacy in reducing GAD symptom severity.
Moroccan Teachers of English Acceptance and Readiness to Use MOOCs for Continuing Professional Development

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have become a modern concept in education and new meaningful learning environment for technology-enhanced learning, where huge numbers of users worldwide access free, online-based, open content generated by world-renowned institutions. To provide successful MOOC environments requires recognizing the learners' motivations to utilize MOOCs programs. Because of the scarcity of research on MOOCs' use for teacher's professional development, it makes use of information technologies to enhance the learning experience for teachers and students. The present study seeks to investigate acceptance and readiness towards MOOCs' use for continuing professional development besides the degree to which teachers benefit from MOOCs. A survey questionnaire based on TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) [8] is employed as a data collection instrument regarding Usefulness(U), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), User Satisfaction and Attribute of Usability (USAU) of MOOCs in professional development. The population is senior high secondary school teachers of English from different regions of Morocco. The analysis of the results obtained from various statistical tests revealed that teachers accepted MOOCs programs for continuing professional development with an objective of developing, acquiring and consolidating the necessary insight, skills and competencies required in modern teaching for 21-century education. Most teachers attending MOOCs' programs for continuing professional development were satisfied with the results they obtained from their participation. They also reported that MOOCs programs had an unequivocal and effective impact on their professional and career development.
Differential role of cAMP, cGMP and Ca2+ and involvement of kinases and CBP-CREB-CRE pathway in regulation of arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 gene in the pineal organ of air-breathing catfish, Clarias gariepinus

Transcription of arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (aanat2) gene leads to formation of AANAT2 - the rate-limiting enzyme in melatonin synthesis pathway in photosensitive fish pineal organ. However, unlike in avian and mammalian pineal gland, there is practically no information on signal transduction pathway(s) involved in regulation of aanat2 gene transcription in the fish pineal organ. Therefore, we investigated the role of important molecular components of signalling via cAMP, cGMP, Ca2+ involving PKA, PKG, PKC, MeK and p38 MAP kinase as well as possible role of serine/threonine phosphatases, CREB and CBP using their specific inhibitors and/or activators in aanat2 gene transcription in the fish pineal organ maintained under in vitro culture-conditions. db-cAMP and db-cGMP stimulated the expression of aanat2 gene. db-cAMP- and cGMP-induced aanat2 gene expression was significantly reduced in the presence of H-89 (specific inhibitor of PKA), KT5823 (specific inhibitor of PKG), chelerythrine chloride (specific inhibitor of PKC), U0126 ethanolate (specific inhibitor of MeK) and SB 202190 monohydrochloride hydrate (specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase). Inhibitors of PP1 and PP2A significantly increased aanat2 gene expression as well as significantly reduced cAMP- and cGMP-induced gene transcription, while inhibitor of PP2B had no effect on aanat2 gene expression. Inhibitors of both CREB and CBP-CREB interaction completely blocked cAMP-induced aanat2 gene transcription. Based on these findings, we suggest that cAMP, cGMP and Ca2+ stimulate aanat2 gene transcription via PKA, PKG and PKC, respectively. Further, protein phosphatases and CBP-CREB-CRE pathway are actively involved in regulation of on aanat2 gene expression in the fish pineal organ.
How the Initial Level of Trust in Automated Driving Impacts Drivers’ Behaviour and Early Trust Construction

Trust in Automation is known to influence human-automation interaction and user behaviour. In the Automated Driving (AD) context, studies showed the impact of drivers’ Trust in Automated Driving (TiAD), and linked it with, e.g., difference in environment monitoring or driver’s behaviour. This study investigated the influence of driver’s initial level of TiAD on driver’s behaviour and early trust construction during Highly Automated Driving (HAD). Forty drivers participated in a driving simulator study. Based on a trust questionnaire, participants were divided in two groups according to their initial level of TiAD: high (Trustful) vs. low (Distrustful). Declared level of trust, gaze behaviour and Non-Driving-Related Activities (NDRA) engagement were compared between the two groups over time. Results showed that Trustful drivers engaged more in NDRA and spent less time monitoring the road compared to Distrustful drivers. However, an increase in trust was observed in both groups. These results suggest that initial level of TiAD impact drivers’ behaviour and further trust evolution.
Paraganglioma of the Carotid Glomus

Paragangliomas are very rare tumors. Carotid paragangliomas are the dominant localization. Diagnosis is relatively simple both clinically and paraclinically. The main problem is to systematically diagnose an isolated cervical tumefaction in a middle-aged subject. Anatomo-pathology is the only test of certainty, without being able to affirm the malignant character of the primary lesions. Various medical imaging techniques are used to diagnose and pre-treat paragangliomas. This assessment aims to propose an adapted and standardized management of the patient, as well as to the members of his family in the hereditary forms. The treatment of carotid paragangliomas is above all surgical. The removal of these tumors presents a variable difficulty,
Biologics That Increase Chondrocyte Number And/Or Matrix

Introduction Cartilage is essential for healthy function of the human skeleton. In the skeletal system, cartilage provides a means for bones to grow in the young, for the articulation of joints, shock absorption and maintenance the structure of the skeleton [1]. Despite its important role in the skeleton, cartilage has a limited ability to heal and regenerate [2,1]. Damaged/lost cartilage can be caused by trauma [3] and Abstract Cartilage injuries and disease are observed in a varied range of people; for instance, cartilage defects in juveniles, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in the aged population. Cartilage injuries frequently result in disability and a probable demand for invasive surgery in future. Chondrocytes proliferate and synthesize extracellular matrix in order to maintain the cartilage. These cells are separated from each other by cartilage matrix. The aim of the present study was to understand the roles of the biologics in in cartilage repair, cartilage regrowth and regeneration, chondrocytes proliferation plus differentiation, and matrix production. It is also highlighted the necessity of further investigations into the biologics to regrow cartilage by in vitro studies and animal models.
Development of stability indicating, validated HPLC method forquantitative determination of Aripiprazole and its impurities

The present paper describes the development of a simple, rapid and stability indicating reversed phase column liquid chromatographic method for 7-[4-{4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl) piperazine-1- yl}butoxy]-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-one, a leading antipsychotic drug known by the generic name Aripiprazole in the presence of its impurities and degradation products generated from forced decomposition studies. Successful separation of the drug from the synthetic impurities and degradation products formed under stress conditions is achieved on Zorbax C18 ( 150 x 4.6x 5 micron) using a gradient elution of 0.2% trifluoroacetic acid in water and 0.2% trifluoroacetic acid in Methanol. The developed LC method is validated as per ICH guideline for validation parameters like specificity, precision, linearity, accuracy, limit of detection and limit of quantitation. Linearity of the impurities is established and correlation coefficient is found to be above 0.995 for every impurities. Recoveries of impurities are found between 100.87% and 103.68%. The proposed validated, stability indicating liquid chromatographic method for the related substances determination can be used to evaluate quality of Aripiprazole drug samples from regular production batches. It can also be utilized for testing the stability samples of Aripiprazole drug which will be of great help to quality control chemist and thus have robust industrial application.
Ecology and Genetics of Cyperus fuscus in Central Europe—A Model for Ephemeral Wetland Plant Research and Conservation

The ecology and species diversity of ephemeral wetland vegetation have been fairly well studied, but the biology of its characteristic species has rarely been investigated holistically. Here we combine previous results on the genetic diversity of a suitable model species (the diploid Cyperus fuscus) with new data on its historical and recent occurrence, its ecological and climatic niche, and the associated vegetation. Analysis of phytosociological relevés from Central Europe revealed a broad ecological niche of C. fuscus with an optimum in the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea class, extending to several other vegetation types. Overall species composition in the relevés highlight C. fuscus as a potential indicator of habitat conditions suitable for a range of other threatened taxa. Analysis of historical records of C. fuscus from the Czech Republic showed an increasing trend in the number of localities since the 1990s. It seems that recent climate warming allows the thermophilous C. fuscus to expand its range into colder regions. Isoëto-Nanojuncetea and Bidentetea species are well represented in the soil seed bank in both riverine and anthropogenic habitats of C. fuscus. Vegetation diversity has a weak negative effect and anthropogenic (compared to riverine) habitats have a strong negative effect on genetic diversity in this species.
Impacts of Land Use/Land Cover Distributions and Vegetation Amount on Land Surface Temperature Simulation in East China

Land surface temperature (LST) plays a crucial role in the earth system because its heterogeneous spatial distributions can trigger local circulations through land surface‐atmosphere interactions. An accurate simulation of the LST spatial distribution heavily rely on the accuracy of the land surface characteristics, such as LULC (land use/land cover). To investigate the impact of uncertainty in LULC maps on LST simulation, the Community Land Model, version 4.5 (CLM4.5), was used in this study with four LULC products as overlying vegetation characteristics. East China, with its complex land surface characteristics, was employed as the study area. The simulation results were compared to the observations at nine China Meteorological Administration (CMA) stations and to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data (MOIDIS_LST) over the whole study region. Based on the comparison at CMA stations, CLM4.5 can properly simulate ground temperature. However, large differences are found between MODIS_LST and the simulated LST, particularly over crop areas. Comparison of simulated results using different LULC products showed a large dissimilarity over forest areas, mainly due to the different identification methods for forest types. Large biases in the prescribed leaf area index (LAI) of the model are also found compared with MODIS_LAI. Then, the LAI in the model default data was replaced by the MODIS_LAI product, which greatly reduces the LST simulation biases. These findings provide insights into improving the simulation of LST and land‐atmosphere interactions in regional weather models or global climate models.
