MICROFACIES DEVELOPMENT IN THE MAIN DOLOMITE IN NORTHERN PART OF THE FORE-SUDETIC MONOCLINE Summary The paper presents results of studies on the microfacies of the Main Dolomite and the main features of paleogeography and sedimentary environment of northern parts of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline It appeared possible to trace here two main paleogeographic units highly differing from one another in microfacies development, i.e. those of deep and shallow shelf. The former is characterized by the presence of transgressive sedimentary cycle which, under the conditions of repeated lack of compensation of subsidence by sedimentation resulted in a marked increase in depth of reservoir during sedimentation of Main Dolomite deposits. The shallow shelf is characterized by regressive cycle of sedimentation, especially well-developed in the area of the Lubuska barrier which, in turn, resulted in the onset of supralitoral conditions at the end of sedimentation of Main Dolomite deposits. Attention should be paid to the existence of mud banks stabilized by non-stromatolite blue-green algae in shallow shelf plains stretching east of the Lubuska barrier.
Growth and Hepatopancreas Health of Juvenile Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) Fed Different Levels of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae Meal for Fish Meal Replacement

A 56-day feeding trial assessed the effects of black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) on the growth performance and hepatopancreas health of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis. Six isoproteic and isolipidic diets with 0% (FM), 10% (BSFLM10), 20% (BSFLM20), 30% (BSFLM30), 40% (BSFLM40), or 50% (BSFLM50) replacement of fish meal by BSFLM were formulated. Compared to FM, replacing 10%–40% of fish meal with BSFLM did not significantly affect the weight gain rate (WGR) or specific growth rate (SGR), while BSFLM50 significantly decreased the WGR and SGR. Crabs fed BSFLM50 had significantly lower T-AOC activity than those fed other diets, and crabs fed BSFLM30, BSFLM40, or BSFLM50 had significantly lower activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and GSH-Px) in the hepatopancreas than those fed FM or BSFLM10. Compared to FM, BSFLM10, BSFLM20, and BSFLM30 did not affect the relative expression of genes related to the nonspecific immunity, while BSFLM40 and BSFLM50 upregulated the relative expression of these genes. Furthermore, histological analysis showed that the hepatopancreas was deformed in the BSFLM50 group, with widened lumens and loss of basal membrane integrity. In summary, BSFLM replacing 50% of fish meal reduced growth and structural damage to the hepatopancreas. An immune response was activated when the replacement level was over 30%. Therefore, the replacement level of dietary fish meal by BSFLM is recommended to be not more than 30% of the juvenile E. sinensis feed.
Holographic Reconstruction With All-Acoustic Diffractive Network

Acoustic hologram has shown its great potential for controlling complex pressure fields with minimal hardware, making it attractive for various applications in particle manipulation, cellular assembly, and ultrasound therapy, etc. However, conventional inline reconstruction methods suffer from twin-image artifacts. Computer-based iterative retrieval or deep learning methods have been used to eliminate artifacts in acoustic holograms. Nevertheless, once a hologram is calculated by these methods and fabricated, it can only generate a pressure field with a particular pattern at a particular position. Here, we report an all-acoustic diffractive neural network (ADNN-AH) and perform a proof-of-principle numerical demonstration of high-quality pressure field reconstruction from a corresponding inline hologram. The proposed ADNN-AH comprises a series of spatially-engineered physical transmissive diffractive layers/surfaces. When the transmissive layers are designed using a deep learning strategy, they process the diffracted sound wave from an arbitrary input hologram through acoustic-matter interactions to reconstruct a high-resolution pressure field with the suppression of twin-image artifacts. A series of numerical experiments demonstrate that as an all-acoustic hologram reconstruction method, ADNN-AH has great potential in various ultrafast acoustic hologram-based applications that benefit from high-quality reconstruction and application flexibility.
Short- and Long-Term Effects of Maxillary Expander with Tongue Crib in Growing Open-Bite and Skeletal Class II Patients: A Retrospective Study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate short- and long-term changes in growing patients with Class II malocclusion and open bite after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 16 growing patients with open-bite malocclusion enrolled in a group treated with a rapid maxillary expander (RME) with a crib (TG), and 16 untreated patients with similar malocclusion in the control group (CG). Cephalograms were recorded before starting the treatment (T0), at the end of the latency phase (T1), and before the fixed therapy (T2) in order to analyze skeletal and dental changes in vertical, transversal, and sagittal relationships. Statistical analysis was performed with α = 0.05 as level of significance. At the end of the active expansion (T1), all subjects in the TG showed a corrected overbite with a statistically significant difference compared to the CG (p > 0.05). A significant decrease in jaw divergence was found in the TG compared to the CG (p < 0.05). At T2, all treated patients maintained a correct overbite. Statistical analysis revealed a significant decrease in maxillary, mandibular, and intermaxillary divergence in the TG compared to the CG (p < 0.05). This protocol could be effective in growing open-bite patients, showing a long-term decrease in facial divergence. The fixed crib allowed to normalize myofunctional activity.
In Situ Synthesis of Plasmonic Core MIPs on U Bend Optical Fibers for LSPR Sensing of Small Molecule Contaminants in Food and Environment: An Illustration With Bisphenol A

Detection and remediation of emerging water contaminants such as active pharmaceutical ingredients, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), and polyaromatic hydrocarbons is a global challenge. The current study reports a label-free and biorecognition element-free detection strategy for the detection of such organic compounds in aqueous specimens with Bisphenol A (BPA) as a model analyte. A novel in situ molecular imprinting technique on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), immobilized on U-bend optical fibers is demonstrated for localized surface plasmon sensing. The molecularly imprinted polymer film was directly formed on allyl mercaptan-modified gold nanoparticles. With an optimized ratio of 1:12:20 of the template: monomer: crosslinker, the sensor could detect BPA in the linear range from 30 ng/mL to <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10 ~\mu \text{g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>/mL (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> = 0.95) in deionized water and from 50 ng/mL to <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$50 ~\mu \text{g}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>/mL (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> = 0.96) in bottled and canned soft, alcoholic and aerated beverages, fruit juices and ice tea with negligible cross sensitivity from possible interferents. This technology is thus of utility to analyze BPA, and similar organic molecules in wastewater, food, and beverages and indicate the fitness of food and water for human consumption.
Left Atrial Low Voltage Areas Predicts Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation after Catheter Ablation: A Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND Low voltage areas (LVAs) on left atrial (LA) voltage mapping correlate with atrial fibrosis. However, there is no uniform standard for the definition of LVAs, or mapping techniques and mapping rhythms, so that the predictive value of left atrial LVAs for recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is uncertain. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the presence of pre-ablation left atrial LVAs and the risk of recurrent AF after catheter ablation. METHODS The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of science, Cochrane library, Scopus, Wanfang Datebase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine and China Scientific Journal Datebase were searched from inception to 31 July 2023. Relevant studies regarding left atrial LVAs prior to ablation to predict postoperative recurrence of AF were identified and analyzed. The efficacy endpoints were defined as the recurrence of atrial arrhythmia lasting over 30 s. RESULTS A total of 12 studies with 1070 patients were included. We found the presence of pre-ablation left atrial LVAs correlated with the risk of recurrent AF after ablation (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.33-3.52). The presence of pre-ablation left atrial LVAs can predict the risk of recurrent AF after ablation both in the follow-up duration ≤12 months group and follow-up duration >12 months group (follow-up duration ≤12 months: HR = 2.93, 95% CI: 2.20-3.90; follow-up duration >12 months: HR = 2.80, 95% CI: 2.09-3.77). The presence of pre-ablation left atrial LVAs correlated with the risk of recurrent AF after ablation in paroxysmal AF (HR = 2.89, 95% CI: 1.97-4.24). CONCLUSIONS The presence of pre-ablation left atrial LVAs correlate with the risk of recurrent AF after catheter ablation.
The Zugspitze Raman Lidar: System Testing

A high-power Raman lidar system has been installed at the high-altitude research station Schneefernerhaus (Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany) at 2675 m a.s. l. , at the side of the existing wide-range differrential-absorption lidar. An industrial XeCl laser was modified for polarized single-line operation at an average power of about 175 W. This high power and a 1.5-m-diameter receiver are expected to allow us to extend the operating range for water-vapour sounding to more than 25 km, at an accuracy level of the order of 10 %. In addition, temperature measurements in the free troposphere and to altitudes beyond 80 km are planned. The system is currently thoroughly tested and exhibits an excellent performance up to the lowermost stratosphere. We expect that results for higher altitudes can be presented at the meeting.
Balinese Shadow Puppet Characters Detection In The Wayang Peteng Performance Using The Yolov5 Algorithm

To generate greater public interest in Balinese shadow puppet performances, it is crucial to explore novel ways of educating viewers about the characters showcased in the plays, as many individuals may need to become more familiar with them. In Object Detection, an algorithm is called You Only Look Once (YOLO). This research utilizes the YOLOv5 algorithm to detect Balinese shadow puppet characters in the "wayang peteng" performances. The dataset consists of 5040 images, divided into training, validation, and test data, with a ratio of 7:2:1 (This ratio helps in effectively training and evaluating the YOLOv5 model on a diverse set of data). Four YOLO models are trained, each with a different number of epochs (a single iteration of training when the entire dataset has been passed forward and backward through the neural network), resulting in 12 models. All models are tested using the test data images to obtain precision, recall, and mean Average Precision (mAP) metrics. Additionally, three videos measure the average frames processed per second. The research findings reveal that the YOLOv5n model with 200 epochs achieves the best results, with a precision value of 1, recall of 1, mAP@0.5 of 0.995, mAP@0.5-0.95 of 0.985, and 128.20 frames per second.

An Energy-Efficient SAR ADC With Event-Triggered Error Correction

This brief presents an energy-efficient fully differential 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a resolution of 10 bits and a sampling rate of 320 kS/s. The optimal capacitor split and bypass number is analyzed to achieve the highest switching energy efficiency. The common-mode voltage level remains constant during the MSB-capacitor switching cycles. To minimize nonlinearity due to charge averaging voltage offset or DAC array mismatch, an event-triggered error correction method is employed as a redundant cycle for detecting digital code errors within 1 least significant bit (LSB). A test chip was fabricated using the 180-nm CMOS process and occupied a 0.0564-mm2 core area. Under a regular 0.65-V supply voltage, the ADC achieved an effective number of bits of 9.61 bits and a figure of merit (FOM) of 6.38 fJ/conversion step, with 1.6- ${ \mu }\text{W}$ power dissipation for a low-frequency input. The measured differential and integral nonlinearity results are within 0.30 LSB and 0.43 LSB, respectively.
JASPER: Journal Article Selection Program for Non-native English Readers

—Typically, reading a journal article can be time-consuming, mainly for non-native English readers, because academic writing usually uses complicated vocabulary and sentences. Therefore, this paper proposes a Journal Article Selection Program for Non-native English Readers (JASPER) for selecting journal articles from abstracts using scanning and skimming techniques. JASPER employs linear searching as a scanning technique and a novel multi-layer Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) as a skimming technique. It automatically classifies journal articles into multi-layer topics and selects only articles with related topics to reduce the number of articles readers must read. JASPER is evaluated in terms of accuracy and efficiency using journal articles on Computer Science topics. It achieved an average of 82.62% of the F-measure. It can also reduce the number of journal articles by an average of 98.68%. Therefore, JASPER can practically reduce the number of journal articles for non-native English readers.
Loss Minimization Control of Aircraft Wound-Rotor Synchronous Starter–Generator in the Starting Mode

The wound-rotor synchronous machine has become a competitive candidate for the integrated starter–generator of more electric aircraft. Due to the large inertia of aircraft engine, the armature currents of the main machine (MM) are large and the windings heat up severely. In order to reduce the heat generation during the starting process, it is necessary to research a loss minimization control method of the wound-rotor synchronous machine in the starting mode. Based on the equivalent circuits considering the equivalent iron loss resistance, this article derives the controllable electrical loss function of the MM. Since its field current changes with speed, the derivative term of the field current with respect to time is considered. By solving for the extremum, the reference value for the d-axis current of the minimum loss point is derived and a loss minimization control method for the MM in the starting mode is proposed. Besides, based on the model reference adaptive system, an adaptive law is designed to identify the stator resistance, thereby improving the accuracy of the loss minimization control method. Experiment results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the controllable electric loss and thus suppress the heat generation during the starting process.
Spatial Survival Model for COVID-19 in México

A spatial survival analysis was performed to identify some of the factors that influence the survival of patients with COVID-19 in the states of Guerrero, México, and Chihuahua. The data that we analyzed correspond to the period from 28 February 2020 to 24 November 2021. A Cox proportional hazards frailty model and a Cox proportional hazards model were fitted. For both models, the estimation of the parameters was carried out using the Bayesian approach. According to the DIC, WAIC, and LPML criteria, the spatial model was better. The analysis showed that the spatial effect influences the survival times of patients with COVID-19. The spatial survival analysis also revealed that age, gender, and the presence of comorbidities, which vary between states, and the development of pneumonia increase the risk of death from COVID-19.
Compact Dual-Band Shared-Aperture Base-Station Antenna Array Using Transparent Wideband Absorbing Metasurface and Radiator-Reused Scheme

This article presents a novel dual-band shared-aperture antenna array with ±45° dual polarization for 4G/5G base stations. The proposed array is composed of a lower-band (LB) magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna, four higher-band (HB) dipole antennas, and a transparent absorbing metasurface. Each radiator of the proposed LB ME dipole antenna is designed into a square cavity, and HB antennas are embedded into the cavities. Based on the radiator-reused scheme, the total size of the array is reduced by about 26%. A novel wideband absorbing metasurface made of transparent material of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is completed. The proposed metasurface can absorb the HB electromagnetic wave radiated by HB-induced current on the LB antenna, reflect the LB electromagnetic wave, and reduce the out-of-band gain of the LB antenna by about 3 dB. By fully using the proposed metasurface, the cross-band isolation between LB and HB elements is easily increased by over 10 dB. Distortion of the HB antenna radiation pattern is also mitigated. The simulated and measured results demonstrate that the proposed array can cover wider bandwidths of 0.67–0.98 GHz (37.6%) and 3.17–5.2 GHz (48.5%), and has higher cross-band isolation of over 30 dB than previous works.
Experiences of Adolescents on Antiretroviral Therapy at Rustenburg Sub-District, Northwest Province, South Africa

Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the treatment of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) using anti-HIV drugs. The standard treatment consists of a combination of drugs (often called highly active antiretroviral therapy or HAART) that suppress HIV replication. As a result, people who have been infected live longer while on ART, which was initiated in South Africa in 2004. Aim: The study aimed to explore the experiences of adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in two primary health care clinics in Rustenburg sub-district Northwest Province. Methods: Qualitative, explorative, descriptive, and contextual approaches were adopted. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to select the healthcare facilities, and adolescents were chosen using convenience sampling. In-depth individual interviews were used to collect data from the participants. Only 13 adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19 years were interviewed. Collected data were analyzed using Tesch’s eight steps. Results: Qualitative themes identified included a description of the experiences of adolescents living HIV to adulthood and challenges experienced from childhood to adolescence period. Each theme had different sub-themes which included the paradoxical experiences of being diagnosed with HIV and being on antiretroviral treatment. Adolescents experienced poor adherence to ART due to treatment side effects such as drowsiness, change in body image, and headaches. Self-stigma resulted in adolescents not disclosing their status to their peers, closest and sexual partners which also made them not to adhere well in treatment. Conclusions: The study findings revealed that HIV-positive adolescents encounter various experiences while on ART, which causes them not to adhere to treatment. In the study, adolescents also experienced self-stigma which also affected their treatment adherence and brought fear of losing their loved ones.
Análise e geração de caminho mínimo aplicado à navegação de veículos terrestres

O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um conjunto de rotinas de otimizacao capazes de gerar um caminho sub-otimo para um conjunto de plataformas moveis, levando em consideracao a menor distância entre dois pontos previamente estabelecidos, e respeitando um conjunto de restricoes impostas ao longo do ambiente, bem como as restricoes cinematicas de cada plataforma. Aplico-se um conjunto de algoritmos de otimizacao que recebeu o mapa de um ambiente estatico de maneira off-line e, a partir do tratamento desta imagem, retornou o menor caminho existente entre dois pontos. A trajetoria entao percorrida pelo robo movel foi aquela que apresentou a menor distância e que satisfez todas as restricoes impostas ao longo do ambiente. Em conjunto com as tecnicas de otimizacao, foi utilizado um estimador de estados, caracterizado como o Filtro de Kalman, para analise e controle da trajetoria ao longo de um conjunto de rotas previamente estabelecidas pelo planejador. Para o controle do sistema, foi implementado um controlador do tipo Proporcional, Integral e Derivativo, de forma a minimizar o erro gerado quando a plataforma movel se afastava do caminho otimo. Tratando-se de um pacote computacional formado por um conjunto de algoritmos de otimizacao, foi desenvolvido um modulo didatico, onde o usuario pode ter acesso a todas as funcionalidades deste trabalho por meio de uma interface grafica de facil manipulacao. Tal interface atuou como agente facilitador de ensino e aprendizagem na area da robotica movel. A tecnica explorada neste estudo fez uso de um amplo conjunto de algoritmos de otimizacao para maior probabilidade de se encontrar um caminho executavel como tambem desenvolveu um conjunto de robos moveis com diferentes arquiteturas, para validar a metodologia proposta, a qual deve ser aplicavel a uma ampla variedade de problemas de controle nao linear na agricultura.
