Multiple scattering from icequakes at Erebus volcano, Antarctica: Implications for imaging at glaciated volcanoes

We examine seismic coda from an unusually dense deployment of over 100 short‐period and broadband seismographs in the summit region of Mount Erebus volcano on a network with an aperture of approximately 5 km. We investigate the energy‐partitioning properties of the seismic wavefield generated by thousands of small icequake sources originating on the upper volcano and use them to estimate Green's functions via coda cross correlation. Emergent coda seismograms suggest that this locale should be particularly amenable to such methods. Using a small aperture subarray, we find that modal energy partition between S and P wave energy between ∼1 and 4 Hz occurs in just a few seconds after event onset and persists for tens of seconds. Spatially averaged correlograms display clear body and surface waves that span the full aperture of the array. We test for stable bidirectional Green's function recovery and note that good symmetry can be achieved at this site even with a geographically skewed distribution of sources. We estimate scattering and absorption mean free path lengths and find a power law decrease in mean free path between 1.5 and 3.3 Hz that suggests a quasi‐Rayleigh or Rayleigh‐Gans scattering situation. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of coherent backscattering (weak localization) for this coda wavefield. The remarkable properties of scattered seismic wavefields in the vicinity of active volcanoes suggests that the abundant small icequake sources may be used for illumination where temporal monitoring of such dynamic structures is concerned.
Workers with Lived and Living Experience: Characteristics and Wellbeing in the Australian AOD Sector

Introduction: Little data exists examining workers with lived/living experience of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use who are not in designated peer roles. The prevalence of these workers within the national workforce, and their levels of wellbeing, are currently unknown. The current study therefore explored the prevalence, characteristics, and predictors of wellbeing among workers with different types of lived experience (personal vs family/other) compared to those without any reported lived experience. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of the Australian AOD workforce. Group differences were explored on variables of interest via frequency statistics, χ2 tests of independence, multivariate analysis of variance, and linear regression. Results: Of the 986 AOD workers in direct client service roles, 2.4% were in a designated peer role, but 67.2% reported lived experience (34.5% personal lived experience and 32.8% family/other lived experience). Substantial proportions had not disclosed their lived experience to their workplace (27.4% with personal lived experience and 43.3% with other lived experience). Wellbeing (i.e., levels of burnout and engagement) did not differ significantly between groups. Predictors of wellbeing across all three groups included age, work intensity (e.g., heavy workloads), and finding work to be personally meaningful; additional differences between groups were also identified. Discussion: More than two-thirds of AOD workers in Australia have some form of lived experience, however this is not reflected in the number of peer roles. Initiatives that reach all workers with lived experience are required to safeguard their wellbeing, enhance recruitment and retention, and support best practice.
SEN1990 is a predicted winged helix-turn-helix protein involved in the pathogenicity of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and the expression of the gene oafB in the SPI-17

Excisable genomic islands (EGIs) are horizontally acquired genetic elements that harbor an array of genes with diverse functions. ROD21 is an EGI found integrated in the chromosome of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella ser. Enteritidis). While this island is known to be involved in the capacity of Salmonella ser. Enteritidis to cross the epithelial barrier and colonize sterile organs, the role of most ROD21 genes remains unknown, and thus, the identification of their function is fundamental to understanding the impact of this EGI on bacterium pathogenicity. Therefore, in this study, we used a bioinformatical approach to evaluate the function of ROD21-encoded genes and delve into the characterization of SEN1990, a gene encoding a putative DNA-binding protein. We characterized the predicted structure of SEN1990, finding that this protein contains a three-stranded winged helix-turn-helix (wHTH) DNA-binding domain. Additionally, we identified homologs of SEN1990 among other members of the EARL EGIs. Furthermore, we deleted SEN1990 in Salmonella ser. Enteritidis, finding no differences in the replication or maintenance of the excised ROD21, contrary to what the previous Refseq annotation of the protein suggests. High-throughput RNA sequencing was carried out to evaluate the effect of the absence of SEN1990 on the bacterium’s global transcription. We found a downregulated expression of oafB, an SPI-17-encoded acetyltransferase involved in O-antigen modification, which was restored when the deletion mutant was complemented ectopically. Additionally, we found that strains lacking SEN1990 had a reduced capacity to colonize sterile organs in mice. Our findings suggest that SEN1990 encodes a wHTH domain-containing protein that modulates the transcription of oafB from the SPI-17, implying a crosstalk between these pathogenicity islands and a possible new role of ROD21 in the pathogenesis of Salmonella ser. Enteritidis.
Active Rehabilitation Gloves Based on Brain-Computer Interfaces and Deep Learning

Cerebral stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of death and disability in the world, and more than half of these patients have hand dysfunction, making hand rehabilitation an urgent challenge. In this study, a system for hand rehabilitation therapy for stroke patients was designed using novel human-computer interaction technology. The system combines a brain-computer interface, a deep learning algorithm and a rehabilitation glove, and designs an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal acquisition card and a rehabilitation glove to realise the application of motor imagery therapy to the active rehabilitation of patients' hands. On the brain-computer interface-based motor imagery experiments, the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network algorithm designed in this study achieves an average accuracy of 95.78% for the classification accuracy of mental tasks in seven motor imagery modes, which is important for the active rehabilitation of patients with hand function based on motor imagery-driven rehabilitation.
Socioeconomic Factors and Navigational Safety among Marine Pilots in Lagos Ports

: Marine transportation is a critical component of global trade and commerce, with ports serving as key nodes for the movement of goods and people. However, navigating these ports can be hazardous, with the potential for accidents and incidents that can lead to loss of life, environmental damage, and economic disruption. This study investigates the impact of socioeconomic factors on the operational risk assessments and adoption of innovative navigational aids for better safety among marine pilots in Lagos ports. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining surveys and in terviews to collect data from a sample of marine pilots operating in Lagos ports. The study focuses on the decision-making process of marine pilots in high-risk environments, exploring how factors such as education level, incom e, and experience might influence their risk assessments and willingness to adopt new technologies. The study's findings have important implications for policies and programs aimed at promoting safer navigation practices in Lagos ports and improving the overall safety of marine operations. The results can also inform the design of training and education programs for marine pilots, as well as the development of new technologies and tools to support safe navigation.
Geochemical signature and seismic stratigraphic setting of Coppermine basalts drilled beneath the Anderson Plains in northwest Canada

Basalts drilled in the Petro-Canada – Canterra Tweed Lake M-47 well in the Anderson Plains of northwestern Canada have geochemical characteristics, including of major, trace, and rare earth elements, that are similar to those of the most enriched Coppermine lavas but significantly different from those of the younger Proterozoic volcanics, such as the Natkusiak basalts. This result provides a geological tie and timing constraint for structures observed on seismic reflection data in this area. Correlation of stratigraphic data from the well to seismic data shows that the lavas are within a sequence of layered reflections that onlap, and are thus younger than, easterly verging structures, and that were themselves probably uplifted prior to deposition of the Mackenzie Mountains Supergroup. These relationships thus show that at least two stages of Proterozoic compressional deformation, one that predated and one that postdated the basalts, produced structures beneath the Anderson Plains.
Earthquake Sequence (ML = 5.8)

The Sierra Madre earthquake (MI = 5.8) of 28 June 1991 occurred at a depth of about 12 km, on the Clamshell-Sawpit fault in the San Gabriel Mountains. High-quality seismograms were recorded with TERRAscope not only for the mainshock but also for the aftershocks at epicentral distances of about 16 km. We determined the focal mechanisms and seismic moments of the main- shock and 21 aftershocks by combining the waveform and first-motion data. We classified the events into five groups according to the location and wave- forms recorded at PAS. Most events located within 5 km west of the mainshock are similar to the mainshock in waveform. The mechanisms thus determined are thrust mechanisms. A few events located east of the mainshock have wave- forms different from the mainshock and have strike-slip mechanisms. The av- erage Q~ values along the paths from the hypocenters of the Sierra Madre and the 3 December 1988 Pasadena earthquake (ML = 4.9) to PAS are about 130 and 80, respectively. The stress drop of the mainshock is about 500 bars. Most of the aftershocks have stress drops between 10 and 100 bars.
Characteristics of Sensory Neuron Dysfunction in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Potential for ALS Therapy

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness, paralysis, and, ultimately, death. Presently, no effective treatment for ALS has been established. Although motor neuron dysfunction is a hallmark of ALS, emerging evidence suggests that sensory neurons are also involved in the disease. In clinical research, 30% of patients with ALS had sensory symptoms and abnormal sensory nerve conduction studies in the lower extremities. Peroneal nerve biopsies show histological abnormalities in 90% of the patients. Preclinical research has reported several genetic abnormalities in the sensory neurons of animal models of ALS, as well as in motor neurons. Furthermore, the aggregation of misfolded proteins like TAR DNA-binding protein 43 has been reported in sensory neurons. This review aims to provide a comprehensive description of ALS-related sensory neuron dysfunction, focusing on its clinical changes and underlying mechanisms. Sensory neuron abnormalities in ALS are not limited to somatosensory issues; proprioceptive sensory neurons, such as MesV and DRG neurons, have been reported to form networks with motor neurons and may be involved in motor control. Despite receiving limited attention, sensory neuron abnormalities in ALS hold potential for new therapies targeting proprioceptive sensory neurons.
Advertising from the perspective of festivals: the present and future of commercial communication in the categories of awards (2013-2014)

Since the very beginning of research on the structure of the advertising system, advertising awards and acknowledgements have been referred to as one of its essential elements. In the specialised sector, a particular interest in advertising festivals has been acknowledged which tends to mirror the continuous evolution of the commercial communication system. With a clear interaction, festivals are forums in which professionals find suitable inspiration which has an impact on what is suggested by each festival each year for future ones. Hence, they become benchmarks for the present and future. Specifically, in order to show the latter aspect, this paper focuses on the organization of festivals and shows the major present and future advertising trends. In advertising, five major macro trends are addressed (Digitisation, New Alternatives, Innovation, Integration and Results) and following the results of our research, they are all covered in the festival awards. Specifically, according to the way the categories of advertising awards are presented, we have concluded that the digitisation of communications has come to an end; the "new ways" of communication in advertising are very present in all contests as the result of the current marketing communication campaigns in which new ways of communication are gradually gaining a more relevant role; innovation is essentially an advertising value; the context of integrated marketing communications is inherent to current advertising; and the effectiveness and results in festivals are significant.
Mathematics Teachers' Perception Towards Educational Technology Integration: Mahendra Ratna Campus Tahachal

Integrating educational technology in mathematics education has emerged as a transformative force revolutionizing traditional teaching/ learning(T/L) practices. Understanding mathematics teachers' perceptions regarding technology integration is vital in fostering successful adoption and implementation in their T/L practice. Utilizing a structured questionnaire with Likert-scale items, the study gathered data on teachers' perceptions of technology's effectiveness and its impact on student learning outcomes. The findings revealed highly positive perceptions among mathematics teachers, with mean scores ranging from 3.73 to 4.33 and statistically significant p-values (p < 0.05). Moreover, the study found no significant differences in various perceptions based on gender, academic level, teaching experience, or level of teaching. The results emphasize the potential benefits of incorporating educational technology in mathematics education and provide valuable insights for stakeholders seeking to enhance mathematics learning experiences at Mahendra Ratna Campus and beyond.
Revision of the Indo-Pacific Genus Centrogenys Richardson, 1842 (Centrogenyidae) with Descriptions of Two New Species from Australia

A taxonomic revision of the genus Centrogenys (family: Centrogenyidae), having previously been regarded as monotypic (also monotypic family) represented by Centrogenys vaigiensis, resulted in the recognition of three species, including two new species from Australia, Centrogenys algrahami, new species, and Centrogenys pogonoskii, new species. The two other nominal species of the genus, Centropristes scorpenoides and Sebastes stoliczkae, were regarded as junior synonyms of C. vaigiensis. Centrogenys vaigiensis is readily distinguished from the two new species by lacking scale patches on the membranes between dorsal-fin spines (a small patch of scales present on each interspinous membrane of the third to last dorsal-fin spines in the two new species). Centrogenys algrahami, new species, is characterized by having fewer body scales, including 31–36 pored lateral-line scales (vs. 37–44 in C. vaigiensis and 39–46 in C. pogonoskii, new species) and 31–36 scale rows in longitudinal series (vs. 36–43 and 39–47), and a slightly greater number of pectoral-fin rays 14–16 (modally 15; vs. 12–15 [modally 14] in C. vaigiensis and C. pogonoskii, new species). Moreover, C. pogonoskii, new species, is distinguished from the two congeners by the presence of squamation on the lateral side of the snout (in specimens >34 mm SL), whereas it is naked in the congeners. The status of the three species resulting from the morphological analysis was also strongly supported by molecular evidence of a partial sequence of the COI gene. Centrogenys vaigiensis is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific, ranging from Mauritius east to Indonesia and north to southern Japan. In contrast, Centrogenys algrahami, new species, and Centrogenys pogonoskii, new species, are restricted to Australia.
Machine learning approaches to identify the data types in big data environment: An overview

The digital world has access to a multitude of data in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR, also known as Industry 4.0) era, including Internet of Things (IoT) data, cybersecurity data, mobile data, business data, social media data, health data, etc. These data are produced from various sources. Knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically machine learning (ML), is essential to intelligently analyse these data and create the associated smart and automated applications. Many different kinds of machine learning algorithms exist in the field, including supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning. Additionally, deep learning, which belongs to a larger family of machine learning techniques, has the ability to effectively examine a lot of data. In this article, we provide a thorough overview of these machine learning techniques that may be used to improve the functionality and intelligence of an application. Determining the fundamentals of various machine learning approaches and how they can be used in identifying the data types and classify them to be placed in bigdata nodes for the effective storage and retrieval, is thus the core contribution of this work. Based on our findings, we also discuss the difficulties and potential possibilities for future research.
Reactome pathway analysis from whole-blood transcriptome reveals unique characteristics of systemic sclerosis patients at the preclinical stage

Objective This study aims to characterize differential expressed pathways (DEP) in subjects with preclinical systemic sclerosis (PreSSc) characterized uniquely by Raynaud phenomenon, specific autoantibodies, and/or capillaroscopy positive for scleroderma pattern. Methods Whole-blood samples from 33 PreSSc with clinical prospective data (baseline and after 4 years of follow-up) and 16 matched healthy controls (HC) were analyzed for global gene expression transcriptome analysis via RNA sequencing. Functional Analysis of Individual Microarray Expression method annotated Reactome individualized pathways. ANOVA analysis identified DEP whose predictive capability were tested in logistic regression models after extensive internal validation. Results At 4 years, 42.4% subjects progressed (evolving PreSSc), while the others kept stable PreSSc clinical features (stable PreSSc). At baseline, out of 831 pathways, 541 DEP were significant at a false discovery rate <0.05, differentiating PreSSc versus HC with an AUROC = 0.792 ± 0.242 in regression models. Four clinical groups were identified via unsupervised clustering (HC, HC and PreSSc with HC-like features, PreSSc and HC with PreSSc-like features, and PreSSc). Biological signatures changed with disease progression while remaining unchanged in stable subjects. The magnitude of change was related to the baseline cluster, yet no DEP at baseline was predictive of progression. Disease progression was mostly related to changes in signal transduction pathways especially linked to calcium-related events and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate metabolism. Conclusion PreSSc had distinguished Reactome pathway signatures compared to HC. Progression to definite SSc was characterized by a shift in biological fingertips. Calcium-related events promoting endothelial damage and vasculopathy may be relevant to disease progression.
Mineralogy and phase relations in the blueschist facies of the Black Butte and Ball Rock areas, Northern California Coast Ranges

Microprobe study of minerals in rocks of the blueschist facies from the Black Butte and Ball Rock areas of the South Fork Mountain Schist, Northern California Coast Ranges, is the basis in this report for analysis of reactions and phase relations among lawsonite, pumpellyite, epidote and associated minerals. Observed assemblages are intermediate in a progression from those observed elsewhere in high P-low T schists of the Franciscan (e.9., Panoche Pass) where lawsonite is present in nearly all lithologies, to the relatively low Phigh T assemblages of the Shuksan blueschist (Washington) where epidote is ubiquitous. Two successive reactions in this sequence, in order of increasing temperature, are: (l) lawsonite + Na-amphibole : epidote + quartz + albite + chlorite + HzO; (2) Na-amphibole + pumpellyite + quartz : epidote + Ca-amphibole + albite + chlorite + H2O. The pressure of metamorphism for the Black Butte and Ball Rock areas is estimated from the jadeite content of pyroxene and from the stability of aragonite to have been approximately 7 kbar; temperature estimates are not tightly constrained by mineral equilibria but are suggested to be in the range of 250 to 300"C.
HOW LANDFORMS AND GEOLOGY AFFECT THE STRUCTURE OF RIPARIAN AREAS

Riparian zone assessments have traditionally rested on the perception that vegetation assemblages and channel morphological features reflect local hydrologic processes. Recent efforts to improve assessments have suggested the addition of landform parameter to the evaluation criteria. Valley form has been suggested however, we hypothesized that groundwater surface-water exchange is the more determinate process that dictates riparian water availability and that the underlying geology and landscape position can serve as a tool for understanding this exchange. This understanding will facilitate an informed assessment of properly functioning riparian ecosystems. To test this concept we tracked groundwater surface-water exchange using wells, piezometers, conservative tracers and solute conductivity on an alluvial fan in Montana’s Gallatin valley. Late growing season stream discharge (~300 l/s), valley form and standard riparian monitoring assessments suggest a larger scale riparian vegetation community than what is present at the site. Conservative tracer injection indicated 3% tracer losses over the 1.5km reach. Through spring and summer 2011 groundwater wells and piezometers indicated in-channel discharge losses with limited local groundwatersurface water connectivity. Based on this evidence we determined that the South Fork of Ross Creek is a losing, disconnected stream. The lack of surface water groundwater 15 connectivity has set the bounds of the floristic structure and character of the study riparian zone. Ultimately, a riparian area that might have been rated functioning – at risk with a conventional riparian assessment was found to be properly functioning as a function of the physical processes; groundwatersurface water connectivity.
