Laboratory evidence for Krauklis-wave resonance in fractures and implications for seismic coda wave analysis

ABSTRACTKrauklis waves are of major interest because they can lead to resonance effects in fluid-filled fractures. This resonance is marked by seismic signals with a dominant signature frequency, which may reveal fracture-related rock properties. In our laboratory study, we used homogeneous Plexiglas samples containing a single well-defined (i.e., manufactured) fracture. We recorded the signals obtained from propagating ultrasonic P- and S-waves (source frequency: 0.6, 1, and 2.25 MHz) along a sample without a fracture and samples with a fracture with different inclination angles of 30°, 45°, and 60° with respect to the short axis. The experimental results obtained from an incident S-wave confirmed that the presence of the fracture led to resonance effects at frequencies lower than the dominant source frequency, which slowly decayed over time in the recorded seismic coda after the first arrival. The resonance frequency was independent of the fracture orientation and the source frequency. We have interpret.
Runoff and sediment response to tree control and seeding on a high soil erosion potential site in Utah: evidence for reversal of an abiotic threshold

Expansion of piñon (Pinus spp.) and juniper (Juniperus spp.) trees into semi‐arid sagebrush steppe may cause these systems to pass a biotic threshold into weed dominance and recurrent fire, as well as pass an abiotic threshold of accelerated soil erosion. To determine effects of chaining to reduce trees and seeding to increase vegetation cover, we measured runoff and sediment after natural precipitation on 10 m2 intercanopy runoff plots on untreated and treated areas over a 5‐year period. The former sagebrush steppe study site was in an advanced phase of tree infilling before treatment and is underlain by lacustrine sediments with clay loam soils on moderate steep slopes. These characteristics, and the potential for high‐intensity thundershowers, make this site one of high soil erosion potential. Chaining‐seeding greatly increased vegetation cover from 4.5% on untreated plots to 23.5% on chained‐seeded plots by the first year after treatment. These cover increases were associated with runoff that was reduced from 44.2 to 9.4 L and sediment from 557.9 to 53.9 g from runoff plots, averaged over the 5 years. Piecewise regression indicated significant threshold decreases in runoff and sediment when vegetation cover exceeded 12 and 11%. High annual precipitation (53 cm) supported successful revegetation on this site in association with chaining and produced sufficient intercanopy cover to reverse an abiotic threshold of soil loss that is associated with advanced tree infilling. Tree reduction and restoration of intercanopy vegetation may have significant hydrologic benefits on sites with high erosion potential where piñon–juniper has expanded into sagebrush steppe.
Oil retention and porosity evolution in organic rich shales

Petroleum is retained in shales either in a sorbed state or in a free form within pores and fractures. In shales with oil resource potential, organic matter properties (i.e., richness, quality, and thermal maturity) control oil retention in general. In gas shales, organic pores govern gas occurrence. Although some pores may originate via secondary cracking reactions, it is still largely unclear as to how these pores originate. Here we present case histories mainly for two classic shales, the Mississippian Barnett Shale (Texas) and the Toarcian Posidonia Shale (Lower Saxony, Germany). In both cases, shale intervals enriched in free oil or bitumen are not necessarily associated with the layers richest in organic matter but are instead associated with porous biogenic matrices. However, for the vast bulk of the shale, hydrocarbon retention and porosity evolution are strongly related to changes in kerogen density brought about by swelling and shrinkage as a function of thermal maturation. Secondary organic pores can form only after the maximum kerogen retention (swelling) ability is exceeded at Tmax (the temperature at maximum rate of petroleum generation by Rock-Eval pyrolysis) around 445°C (833°F), approximately 0.8% vitrinite reflectance. Shrinkage of kerogen itself leads to the formation of organic nanopores, and associated porosity increase, in the gas window.
Altered O-linked glycosylation in benign and malignant meningiomas

Background Changes in protein glycosylation have been reported in various diseases, including cancer; however, the consequences of altered glycosylation in meningiomas remains undefined. We established two benign meningioma cell lines—SUT-MG12 and SUT-MG14, WHO grade I—and demonstrated the glycan and glycosyltransferase profiles of the mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the primary benign meningioma cells compared with two malignant meningioma cell lines—HKBMM and IOMM-Lee, WHO grade III. Changes in O-linked glycosylation profiles in malignant meningiomas were proposed. Methods Primary culture technique, morphological analysis, and immunocytochemistry were used to establish and characterize two benign meningioma cell lines. The glycan profiles of the primary benign and malignant meningiomas cell lines were then analyzed using lectin cytochemistry. The gene expression of O-linked glycosyltransferases, mucins, sialyltransferases, and fucosyltransferases were analyzed in benign and malignant meningioma using the GEO database (GEO series GSE16581) and quantitative-PCR (qPCR). Results Lectin cytochemistry revealed that the terminal galactose (Gal) and N-acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc) were highly expressed in primary benign meningioma cells (WHO grade I) compared to malignant meningioma cell lines (WHO grade III). The expression profile of mucin types O-glycosyltransferases in meningiomas were observed through the GEO database and gene expression experiment in meningioma cell lines. In the GEO database, C1GALT1-specific chaperone (COSMC) and mucin 1 (MUC1) were significantly increased in malignant meningiomas (Grade II and III) compared with benign meningiomas (Grade I). Meanwhile, in the cell lines, Core 2 β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-2 (C2GNT2) was highly expressed in malignant meningiomas. We then investigated the complex mucin-type O-glycans structures by determination of sialyltransferases and fucosyltransferases. We found ST3 β-galactoside α-2,3-sialyltransferase 4 (ST3GAL4) was significantly decreased in the GEO database, while ST3GAL1, ST3GAL3, α1,3 fucosyltransferases 1 and 8 (FUT1 and FUT8) were highly expressed in malignant meningioma cell lines—(HKBMM)—compared to primary benign meningioma cells—(SUT-MG12 and SUT-MG14). Conclusion Our findings are the first to demonstrate the potential glycosylation changes in the O-linked glycans of malignant meningiomas compared with benign meningiomas, which may play an essential role in the progression, tumorigenesis, and malignancy of meningiomas.
Lying about money and game points by men and women and its relation to the Self-Reported Lying Scale

Introduction The present study was designed to examine the effect of monetary and non-monetary endowment on lying by men and women in the Ultimatum Game. Another goal was to examine to what extent the Self-Reported Lying Scale (SRLS), described here for the first time, predicts lying in the Ultimatum Game. Methods Examinees (162, 82 women) were allocated to four experimental conditions in a 2 × 2 factorial design. Two endowment conditions (money and game points) were crossed with two sex conditions (men and women). Participants underwent an Ultimatum Game in which they were permitted to conceal part of the endowment from an unidentified partner. Finally, participants completed the SRLS. Results The results indicated that more cash than points were concealed from the partner, and men concealed more of their endowment than women. We further defined fake fairness in sharing that combined hiding a more significant portion of the endowment from the partner while presenting fair sharing of the remaining award. We found more fake fairness when money was shared than when points were concealed. Fake fairness is more significant for men than for women. For money and points alike, concealment was predicted by the global score of the SRLS and its five subscales (self-assessed lying ability, lie detection ability, the use of reason in lying, lie acceptability, and lie frequency). Discussion It was suggested that a monetary endowment is more sensitive to lying than game points and involves more fake fairness. Nevertheless, the differences are quantitative, and the same response pattern exists in the two endowment conditions. Replacing money with points is a proper solution whenever a monetary endowment presents difficulties. It was further suggested that sex differences exist in lying using an asymmetric information UG, where proposers were permitted to mislead responders about their endowment. Finally, the SRLS may contribute to a better understanding of the question of who lies.
MORAL DISENGAGEMENT AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

The purpose of this study is to map research topics, research methods, and research subjects from journals determined by researchers, namely moral disengagement and unethical behavior. The journals collected from Google Scholar are 20 from 2008 - 2022. The most widely used method is the questionnaire, while the subjects are students and employees. This research uses the systematic literature review method. Many cases of violation of the code of ethics still occur frequently in Indonesia and various countries, and one of the factors causing it is unethical behavior and Moral disengagement. Moral disengagement and unethical behavior are important concepts in the field of ethics and organizational behavior. Moral disengagement refers to the psychological process by which an individual justifies or removes their guilt for unethical actions. In the context of organizational behavior, it refers to the tendency of individuals to ignore ethical principles when making decisions or performing actions that harm others or the organization
Design of Data Security Transmission Scheme Based on Sharding Technology

Data sharding technology is a method of dividing complete data into several slices to protect its security during transmission and reorganization. In order to further ensure the security of data and improve the robustness of transmission, a data security transmission scheme based on sharding technology is proposed by combining error correction code technology. This scheme first segments the complete data and encodes it using Reed Solomon code. Then, the sliced data is encrypted using RSA public key cryptography algorithm. The target node decrypts the data using a private key and performs aggregation and summation. After decoding, the original data is restored. The experimental results show that this scheme can solve the problem of data transmission in which a small portion of data shards are lost or damaged due to poor network environment or attacks, fully restoring the original data, ensuring data security and transmission robustness, and reducing the impact of attacks or damages on data transmission.
BIOLOGICAL DEGRADATION OF LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LDPE)

Polythene is a serious problem which causes pollution to the environment and pollutes the land and marine ecosystem. However, the biological degradation could be a solution of polythene pollution. According to the previous studies microbes have ability to degrade polythene. Microbes use polythene as their carbon source and energy. In this present research, we found fungal strain which degrade polythene in 45 days. The isolated fungi have shown great ability to degrade and they grow rapidly and can be isolated from the soil. We isolate Aspergillus fumigatus and it has have ability to degrade the LDPE. Some enzymes such as Polyesterases, esterases, Lipases and hydrolases involved in degradation of polythene and produced by the Aspergillus fumigatus. The isolated fungi secrete Lipases enzyme showed activity on agar plate assay and halo area was measured as 4.67mm. So our study suggest that polythene can be degrade by microorganism and we can overcome from the white pollution from the natural process
Strategies for School Counselors-in-Training to Maximize Their Supervision Experience

All counseling graduate students participate in fieldwork experiences and engage in supervision to promote their professional development. School counseling trainees complete these experiences in the unique context of elementary and secondary school settings. As such, school counselors-in-training (SCITs) may seek to approach supervision with specific strategies tailored for the roles, responsibilities, and dispositions required of competent future school counselors. This article suggests practical strategies for SCITs, including engaging in reflection; navigating feelings of vulnerability in supervision; developing appropriate professional dispositions for school counseling practice; and practicing self-advocacy, broaching, and self-care. Counselor educators can share these strategies to help students identify their needs for their field experiences and prepare for their professional careers as school counselors.
Complex Background Palm Segmentation using SVM

An efficient method is proposed to enhance complex background segmentation for preprocessing in palmprint recognition. In this paper, we integrate texture and haze features by applying Laws masks to the image represented in YCbCr color space, and use these features of a patch with its neighborhood information to determine hand and non-hand regions by support vector machine (SVM). Compared with other methods, our algorithm demonstrated robustness to changing illumination and a complex environment and we obtain a relatively clear hand shape with an average accuracy of 94.96%. The images in our experiments are taken with popular mobile phones in our laboratory.
Diagnosis of Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis: A Literature Review

stenosis. Subsequently, selective nerve root injection and CT have become popular, with MRI being the main diagnostic modality. The development of sequences such as 3-dimensional MRI, oblique coronal MRI, and diffusion tensor tractography has improved the diagnostic performance of imaging examinations. Thus, a better understanding of lumbar stenotic lesions among spine surgeons, in combination with more accurate imaging examinations, is expected to improve the accuracy of diagnoses, which in turn will help enhance the quality of treatment.
Towards Automated Readable Proofs of Ruler and Compass Constructions

Although there are several systems that successfully generate construction steps for ruler and compass construction problems, none of them provides readable synthetic correctness proofs for generated constructions. In the present work, we demonstrate how our triangle construction solver ArgoTriCS can cooperate with automated theorem provers for first order logic and coherent logic so that it generates construction correctness proofs, that are both human-readable and formal (can be checked by interactive theorem provers such as Coq or Isabelle/HOL). These proofs currently rely on many high-level lemmas and our goal is to have them all formally shown from the basic axioms of geometry.
‘My Plate’ For Coastal Region of Karnataka – A Healthy Eating Concept

Unhealthy food trends in fast-food consumption have been associated with increasing rates of various diseases among children and adolescents, and greater total energy intake and poorer nutrient intakes. In worldwide different plates (My plate) have been introduced like in U.S.A. “My plate”, in U.K. “Eatwell plate” and in Australia a plate guided by “Australian dietary guideline” has been introduced to help people to have a balanced diet. MyPlate helps in identifying the routine proportions for the fruits, vegetables, cereals, protein and dairy food groups. The Food Guide Pyramid became one of the most recognized, useful, and influential food guides in history, which is universally adopted as an icon and used by nutrition educators, in food industry and various nutrition programs in schools. The launch of MyPlate concept kicked off an innovative idea to help people to have healthy food. In India there are different regions, religions and beliefs so a universal My Plate concept is not feasible concept, hereby we attempt a MyPlate concept in coastal region of Karnataka after considering nutritional knowledge, food habits and economical reach.
From Cities of Things to Cities of Signs: Urban Spaces and Urban Subjects

arguably become the dominant constituents of phenomenal urban space, filling our perceptual fields, obscuring the streets and buildings that once comprised the city.2 The emergence of this textualized city of signs marks a historical break from the previous formation, which might be called the city of things, and it is this transformation and its effects on the inhabitants of the city that this essay will explore. One can, I will argue, see this shift from the city of things to the city of signs represented in Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie (1900) andJohn Dos Passos's Manhattan Transfer (1925), novels that depict, respectively, these two formations of the phenomenality of the city and the different types of urban subjectivities they produce.3 These two formations of the city and of their corresponding sub jectivities correlate with two different stages of American capitalism: the
Implantation of a capsular tension ring during cataract surgery attenuates predicted remodeling of the post-surgical lens capsule along the visual axis

Introduction: Cataract surgery permanently alters the mechanical environment of the lens capsule by placing a hole in the anterior portion and implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) that has a very different geometry from the native lens. We hypothesized that implant configuration and mechanical interactions with the post-surgical lens capsule play a key role in determining long-term fibrotic remodeling. Methods: We developed the first finite element-growth and remodeling (FE-G&R) model of the post-surgical lens capsule to evaluate how implantation of an IOL with and without a capsular tension ring (CTR) impacted evolving lens capsule mechanics and associated fibrosis over time after cataract surgery. Results: Our models predicted that implantation of a CTR with the IOL into the post-surgical lens capsule reduced the mechanical perturbation, thickening, and stiffening along the visual axis in both the remnant anterior and posterior portions compared to implantation of the IOL alone. Discussion: These findings align with patient studies and suggest that implantation of a CTR with the IOL during routine cataract surgery would attenuate the incidence of visually-debilitating capsule fibrosis. Our work demonstrates that use of such modeling techniques has substantial potential to aid in the design of better surgical strategies and implants.
Time-varying QoS Estimation via Non-negative Latent Factorization of Tensors with Extended Linear Biases

Time-varying quality-of-service (QoS) data is often used to measure the performance of Web services. It is vital to capture the temporal pattern hidden in such time-varying QoS data for estimating unknown ones. A Nonnegative Latent Factorization of Tensors (NLFT) model is highly effective and efficient in describing temporal patterns. However, an NLFT model assigns a single bias into each order of the target QoS data tensor, making it unable to accurately describe the fluctuations of time-varying QoS data, thus impairing its estimation performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes an Extended linear Biases Nonnegative Latent factorization of tensor (EBNL) model with two-fold ideas: a) incorporating multiple linear biases into the model for describing QoS fluctuations precisely, and b) adopting a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to make the scale of linear biases self-adaptive. Experiments on two time-varying QoS data generated by real applications indicate that compared with several state-of-the-art QoS estimators, the proposed EBNL model achieves higher estimation accuracy for unknown QoS data.
Tests Available for Measuring Forage Quality

Tables Can Give Average Lab Measurements – Variation Does Exist Average nutrient content of feeds is just that, average. It does not reflect the range in results that are commonly encountered. In some cases labs publish standard deviations that indicate a range for which a certain proportion of the samples fall. The table on the following page presents results from a fairly typical year in Virginia. Included are dry matter (DM), crude protein, fiber, Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN), and net energy. It shows the standard deviation (SD) for each nutrient. If you take the average, plus and minus the standard deviation, you get the range for which two-thirds of the samples fall. For instance, corn silage has an average dry matter of 38.3% plus or minus 6.1. Therefore, two out of three samples fall between 32.2 and 44.4% dry matter. Samples outside of this would be considered atypical and in most cases undesirable.
