Duplex Stress Regime in the North Fossa Magna, Central Japan

The seismogenic zone along the Japan Sea coast of the Japanese archipelago is a site of active convergences between Amur and Okhotsk plates, as demonstrated by frequent occurrences of historical earthquakes larger than magnitude M . The geologic structure of the zone is commonly characterized by the Neogene thrust/fold belt on the intra-arc continental shelves of both Northeast and Southwest Honshu arcs. A widespread stress field with a northwesterly orientation of maximum principal stress axis is identified throughout the inner side of Honshu by seismotectonics and geodetic monitoring. As for the fault plane solutions of crustal earthquakes, thrust faulting dominates throughout the inner side of the Northeast Honshu arc, while paired fault provinces of thrust and strike-slip faulting are recognized along the inner Southwest Honshu arc. On the basis of a synchronism of seismicity between the Southwest Honshu arc and the Nankai Trough, strain partitioning might account for the strike-slip fault provinces due to oblique subduction of the Philippine Sea plate, as well as the collision of the Izu-Bonin arc with Southwest Honshu. As the easternmost portion of the Southwest Honshu arc is the overriding plate of the Philippine Sea Plate, a duplex stress regime of the northwest-southeast compression intercalated by north-south compression has been associated with the north Fossa Magna region.
Exploring the Mechanism of Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Post-Stroke Dyskinesia in Conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine Auricular Acupuncture Points

: Stroke is an important disease leading to death and disability of our nationals, causing a great economic burden to society and families. Limb motor dysfunction is a common complication after stroke, which seriously affects the recovery process of patients, and more effective treatments are still being searched for in clinical practice. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), as a well-established neuromodulation technique, has been mainly applied to the treatment of refractory epilepsy, refractory depression and other brain diseases. In recent years, it has been found that VNS can be applied to limb movement rehabilitation in stroke patients. Percutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (t-VNS) is more easily accepted by patients because of its non-invasiveness and economy, therefore, clinical trials and basic research on t-VNS for limb movement disorders after stroke have been gradually carried out at home and abroad. Although percutaneous vagus nerve stimulation and traditional Chinese medicine auricular acupoint therapy belong to different systems, they have similarities in the treatment of stroke, and the theory of vagus nerve stimulation may provide a new idea for traditional auricular acupoints. In this study, we will summarise the clinical studies on percutaneous vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of post-stroke limb disorders in the past few years, and combine it with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine auricular acupoints to explore its therapeutic mechanism.

Avaliação de um método de rastreamento de canal baseado em filtros de Kalman para beamtracking

Visando a projecao futura de uma grande demanda por transmissao de dados, provenientes das atuais aplicacoes de sistemas de teleinformatica, estudos recentes apontam para os sistemas MIMO massivo, as tecnologias de formatacao de feixes (do ingles beamforming) e a exploracao do espectro nao licenciado na faixa de ondas milimetricas (mmWaves, do ingles millimeter wave), como alicerces dos sistemas de comunicacao movel de 5a geracao (5G). A comunicacao movel de carateristicas 5G e desafiadora devido ao curto comprimento das mmWaves, que sofrem muito com perdas de percurso, absorcoes atmosfericas e atenuacoes por bloqueios, e aos feixes estreitos gerados por grandes arranjos, que sofre com a iminencia de desalinhamento devido a mobilidade do terminal movel. O beamtracking e um conjunto processos periodicos fundamentais para garantir o alinhamento do feixes ao longo do tempo. Porem, e de grande importância que os algoritmos de beamtracking tenham baixa complexidade de treinamento, para nao afetarem a taxa de transmissao efetiva do sistema, e de processamento, para que possam ser executados nas interfaces sem fios dos equipamentos dos usuarios a fim de reduzir o numero de feedbacks. Os filtros de Kalman (KFs, do ingles Kalman filter) podem proporcionar um poderoso framework de rastreamento de canais de baixa complexidade para aplicacoes em beamtracking. Neste trabalho, e realizado um estudo do uso de filtros de Kalman como algoritmo base de beamtracking para canais massivo-MIMO mmWave utilizando arranjos uniformes lineares e planares de antenas.

Soil culturable microbial diversity in an undisturbed montane cloud forest of Oaxaca, Mexico

Montane cloud forests are among the most threatened ecosystems globally. These forests face several stressors, such as deforestation and climate change, jeopardizing their functional sustainability. Although microbial communities act as key regulators of the soil nutrient cycles, microfungal and bacterial diversity remains largely unknown in this ecosystem. We evaluated cultivable soil microbial diversity associated with the soil below iconic plant taxa (Cyatheaceae and Juglandaceae) in a pristine montane cloud forest of Mexico, and explored small-scale ecological patterns linked to edaphic biogeochemical variables. Our findings revealed the copious occurrence of entomopathogenic fungi such as Tolypocladium geodes and potentially phosphate solubilizer bacteria such as Pseudomonas and Bacillus spp. We observed a strong association between edaphic microbial assemblages and environmental variables such as soil C:N:P availability. This close relationship with the physical setting should be considered for the development of management and in situ conservation strategies aiming to preserve microbial functions.

Online Supplement for “Poiseuille ﬂow of a Bingham ﬂuid in a channel with a superhydrophobic groovy wall”

Certain flow assumptions may allow us to develop an approximate solution for creeping flow of the thick channel limit, which we develop for the sake of completeness of the current study. In solving equation (3.5) of the manuscript, the term dU0/dy = C1+2C2y, which is generally a function of y, can be approximated with a constant value for the range of thick channels. In this range, the wall-induced perturbations occur in a near wall region and they decay in the normal direction to the wall (i.e. the y direction). To be clear, if we consider that the height of the near wall region containing the perturbation field is yp, therefore, for thick channels where yp 1, the no-slip flow gradient (dU0/dy = C1+2C2y) reduces to dU0/dy ≈ C1, since the term 2C2y (for y 6 yp) becomes small compared to C1. Therefore, we use the approximation of dU0/dy ≈ C1, where C1 is the no-slip velocity gradient at the lower wall and it always has a positive real value. Consequently, equation (3.5) of the manuscript is reduced to an ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients. For a Bingham fluid (Bi 6= 0), when n 6= 0, the following exponential solution is expected:
On IDDT Testing of CMOS Circuits for Stuck-Open Faults

In this paper we propose a method for testing CMOS circuits for stuck-open faults using IDDT information. We establish that for IDDT measurement based method to be eeective it is important to derive tests such that the Iddt values for the faulty and fault free circuits be altered maximally. In the paper we explain the conditions required to maximally alter (increase or decrease) this current and present an algorithm to identify the conditions that achieve this. Case studies are also included to demonstrate the eeectiveness of the algorithm and the method.
A Miniaturized 2*2 Antenna Array

Based on the research of the transmission line model of microstrip power splitter, based on the traditional T-type microstrip power splitter, a new symmetric T-type four-way microstrip power splitter is proposed, in which the front-end power split port. The phase difference is 180 degree, and the power distribution characteristics are good. By loading a rectangular patch microstrip antenna at each port of the power splitter and etching the metamaterial structure on the floor. A miniaturized 2*2 antenna array operating at 2.45 GHz was designed. The antenna size is 40*40mm, placed on a metal reflector, and its forward gain is about 8dB in the wide range of 2.1-2.7GHz.
Multi-scale Wasserstein Shortest-path Filtration Kernels on Graphs

—The traditional shortest-path graph kernel (SP) is one of the most popular graph kernels, which decomposes graphs into shortest paths and counts their frequencies in each graph. However, SP has two main challenges: Firstly, the triplet representation of the shortest path loses information. Secondly, SP compares graphs without considering the multiple different scales of the graph structure which is common in real-world graphs, e.g., the chain, ring, and star-structures in social networks. To mitigate these two challenges, we develop a novel shortest-path graph kernel called the Multi-scale Wasserstein Shortest-Path Filtration graph kernel (MWSPF). It uses a BFS tree of a certain depth rooted at each vertex to restrict the maximum length of the shortest path considering the small world property. It considers the labels of all the vertices in the shortest path. In order to compare graphs at multiple different scales, it augments graphs from both the aspects of the vertex and the graph structure. The distribution (frequency) of the shortest path changes across augmented graphs and the Wasserstein distance is employed to track the changes. We conduct experiments on various benchmark graph datasets to evaluate MWSPF’s performance. MWSPF is superior to the state-of-the-art on most datasets.
Proposal of the Second Cutoff of Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen Levels to Stratify Patients into Low, Intermediate, and High Risks at Recurrences after Curative Resection of Gastric Cancer

Introduction: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 are widely used for treating various cancers, with cutoff values of 5.0 ng/mL and 37.0 IU/mL, respectively. However, these cutoff values are not for specific diseases or purposes but are uniformly used for any disease and any purpose. It is also unclear as to whether patients are at equal risk of recurrence if they are below the cutoff values. This study aimed to investigate the optimal cutoff of serum tumor markers in the stratification of recurrence risk after curative resection of gastric cancer. Methods: We constructed a nine-center integrated database of patients who received gastrectomy between January 2010 and December 2014 with a 5-year follow-up period. We determined the cutoff value of preoperative serum tumor marker levels correlated with postoperative recurrences and evaluated its performance in risk stratification for recurrences in 948 patients with stage II/III gastric cancer who underwent radical resection. Results: The hazard ratio for postoperative recurrences increased at two points of preoperative CEA levels, 3.6 ng/mL and 5.0 ng/mL, which were set as cutoffs. These two cutoffs stratified relapse-free survival into three levels. Conclusions: By adding a second cutoff value for preoperative serum CEA, which was proposed specifically for the prediction of recurrences, patients can be stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk recurrences after curative resection of gastric cancer.
Remote sensing of crop type and maturity

A red-shift in the chlorophyll absorption edge of heading wheat and grain sorghum is clearly visible in high-spectral-resolution measurements made from a low-flying aircraft over Imperial Valley, California. The position of the absorption edge shifts progressively toward the longer wavelengths during the crop growth cycle. The red-shift of 7 to 10 nm can be measured by using 10 nm-wide spectral bands, centered at 745 nm and 785 nm. These two bands, plus a band in the pigment absorption region at 670 nm, contain enough information to identify wheat and grain sorghum in the heading stage, to indicate the degree of heading, and to indicate canopy density during the heading stage
Caractérisation et quantification des transferts dus aux petites rivières côtières Méditerranéennes

Le but de ce travail est l'etude des apports (nutriments, metaux, matiere organique) d'une petite riviere cotiere a la Mediterranee. Dans ce contexte, cette etude vise a determiner les apports durant le fonctionnement de base de la riviere et lors des crues. Dans un second temps, la repartition des polluants metalliques entre la phase dissoute et particulaire a ete abordee. Enfin, la caracterisation de la matiere organique et de son role sur leur biodisponibilite a ete evaluee. Cette etude a montre que les parametres physico-chimiques presentent une variation journaliere, perturbee lors des pluies, qui provoquent une chute des valeurs mesurees - pH, conductivite, potentiel redox, temperature, taux de O2 -. En ce qui concerne les ions majeurs, les pluies provoquent une baisse des concentrations sauf pour le potassium qui voit ses concentrations augmenter lors des crues. Au printemps et surtout en ete, les flux de nutriments couples au faible debit, causent une eutrophisation des eaux. Concernant les metaux, leur principale source est situee en zone urbaine ou commerciale et ils presentent une forte affinite pour la fraction particulaire. Lors des pluies, les concentrations metalliques mesurees presentent de fortes augmentations dues notamment au lessivage de surface. Globalement, pour les polluants metalliques, les concentrations en regime de base sont faibles et traduisent une eau de bonne qualite, alors que leurs augmentations pendant les crues deviennent problematiques pour l'environnement. L'etude de l'influence de l'Eygoutier a ete etendue a la rade de Toulon dans le cadre d'un programme national de recherche ECOTDYN. En regime de crue l'impact de l'Eygoutier s'est fait ressentir sur 85 metres de l'embouchure et durant 8 d'heures. Sachant que la rade de Toulon est un milieu semi-ferme et donc fragile, ces apports peuvent constituer un risque pour l'environnement.
Translational control of murine adiponectin expression by an upstream open reading frame element

ABSTRACT Adiponectin, an adipocyte-specific secretory protein encoded by the ADIPOQ gene has a causal role in insulin resistance. Anti-diabetic drugs increase plasma adiponectin by a poorly understood, post-transcriptional mechanism enhancing insulin sensitivity. Deletion analysis of a reporter bearing the mouse Adipoq mRNA 5’-leader identified an inhibitory cis-regulatory sequence. The 5’-leader harbours two potential upstream open reading frames (uORFs) overlapping the principal downstream ORF. Mutation of the uORF ATGs increased reporter translation ~3-fold, indicative of a functional uORF. uORFs are common in mammalian mRNAs; however, only a select group resist translational repression by the integrated stress response (ISR). Thapsigargin (TG), which induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the ISR, enhanced expression of a reporter bearing the Adipoq 5’-leader; polysome profiling verified translation-stimulation. TG-stimulated translation was absent in cells defective in Ser51 phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), required for the ISR. To determine its role in expression and function of endogenous adiponectin, the upstream uORF was disrupted by CRISPR-Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of differentiated mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. uORF disruption in adipocytes increased adiponectin expression, triacylglycerol accumulation, and glucose uptake, and inhibited paracrine muscle and liver cell expression of gluconeogenic enzymes, establishing an important role of the uORF in adiponectin-mediated responses to stress.
The Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Craniomaxillofacial Surgery: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

This study aimed to evaluate the use of tranexamic acid in craniomaxillofacial surgery by meta-analysis. A comprehensive search was performed for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) mainly in 3 electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) before August 2022. We collected and managed data for weighted mean difference of intraoperative blood loss, transfusion requirement, and operation time for the study. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials were included in the analysis. Compared with the control group, the tranexamic acid group showed a reduction in intraoperative blood loss of 198.67 ml (95% CI: −258.84 to −138.50 ml, P<0.00001), with blood transfusion requirement decreased by 7.77 ml/kg (95% CI: −10.80 to −4.73, P<0.0001) and less operation time (weighted mean difference= −10.39 min; 95% CI: −16.49 to −4.30 min, P=0.0008).
Dual Tracer Test to Measure Tissue-Specific Insulin Action in Individual Mice Identifies In Vivo Insulin Resistance Without Fasting Hyperinsulinemia

The ability of metabolically active tissues to increase glucose uptake in response to insulin is critical to whole-body glucose homeostasis. This report describes the Dual Tracer Test, a robust method involving sequential retro-orbital injection of [14C]2-deoxyglucose ([14C]2DG) alone, followed 40 min later by injection of [3H]2DG with a maximal dose of insulin to quantify both basal and insulin-stimulated 2DG uptake in the same mouse. The collection of both basal and insulin-stimulated measures from a single animal is imperative for generating high-quality data since differences in insulin action may be misinterpreted mechanistically if basal glucose uptake is not accounted for. The approach was validated in a classic diet-induced model of insulin resistance and a novel transgenic mouse with reduced GLUT4 expression that, despite ubiquitous peripheral insulin resistance, did not exhibit fasting hyperinsulinemia. This suggests that reduced insulin-stimulated glucose disposal is not a primary contributor to chronic hyperinsulinemia. The Dual Tracer Test offers a technically simple assay that enables the study of insulin action in many tissues simultaneously. By administering two tracers and accounting for both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose transport, this assay halves the required sample size for studies in inbred mice and demonstrates increased statistical power to detect insulin resistance, relative to other established approaches, using a single tracer. The Dual Tracer Test is a valuable addition to the metabolic phenotyping toolbox. Article Highlights A need exists for technically simple and reproducible assays for measuring insulin action in vivo across many tissues simultaneously. The Dual Tracer Test is a robust in vivo technique to obtain basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake measures from the same mouse and halves the number of mice required for studies in inbred mice. Minimum data reporting standards are provided to assist future users of the Dual Tracer Test to critically interpret experiments and results and to reduce the potential for technical drift. Partial knockdown of GLUT4-generated ubiquitous peripheral insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in the absence of hyperinsulinemia suggests that fasting hyperinsulinemia is not a primary consequence of reduced insulin-stimulated glucose disposal.
