Hemodynamic Analysis Shows High Wall Shear Stress Is Associated with Intraoperatively Observed Thin Wall Regions of Intracranial Aneurysms

Background: Studying the relationship between hemodynamics and local intracranial aneurysm (IA) pathobiology can help us understand the natural history of IA. We characterized the relationship between the IA wall appearance, using intraoperative imaging, and the hemodynamics from CFD simulations. Methods: Three-dimensional geometries of 15 IAs were constructed and used for CFD. Two-dimensional intraoperative images were subjected to wall classification using a machine learning approach, after which the wall type was mapped onto the 3D surface. IA wall regions included thick (white), normal (purple-crimson), and thin/translucent (red) regions. IA-wide and local statistical analyses were performed to assess the relationship between hemodynamics and wall type. Results: Thin regions of the IA sac had significantly higher WSS, Normalized WSS, WSS Divergence and Transverse WSS, compared to both normal and thick regions. Thicker regions tended to co-locate with significantly higher RRT than thin regions. These trends were observed on a local scale as well. Regression analysis showed a significant positive correlation between WSS and thin regions and a significant negative correlation between WSSD and thick regions. Conclusion: Hemodynamic simulation results were associated with the intraoperatively observed IA wall type. We consistently found that elevated WSS and WSSNorm were associated with thin regions of the IA wall rather than thick and normal regions.

Anisotropic bouncing scenario in F (X) − V (φ) model

We investigate the cosmology of a class of model with noncanonical scalar ﬁeld and matter in an anisotropic time dependent background. Writing the Einstein Equations in terms of dimensionless dynamical variables appropriately deﬁned for bouncing solutions, we ﬁnd all the ﬁxed points. While evolving the dynamical variables to their stable ﬁxed points numerically, solutions satisfying non singular bounce are found.
The X-ray source MX 0513-40 and the globular cluster NGC 1851.

A hot low-gravity ''UV-bright'' star is found near the edge of the 1 sigma error box of MX 0513--40 and about 0'. 5 from the nucleus of the globular cluster NGC 1851. Its radial velocity is consistent with cluster membership and may be slightly variable. On some spectra a blueward emission component is found at Hβ.
Identifying academically vulnerable learners in first-year science programmes at a South African higher-education institution

The Admission Point Score (APS) is used by most South African universities to identify a university programme in which a learner is likely to succeed. While the APS appears helpful to gauge the aptitude of a learner and predict their success, the reality is that between 2008 and 2015 almost 50% of learners who made the required APS for a Science programme failed to complete the requirements for that programme. This paper delineates and diagnoses learner vulnerability, using a learner attrition model, for early intervention and as an alternative to using the APS. The analysis shows that various predictive models achieve higher accuracy to predict learner vulnerability, by incorporating factors of the learner attrition model, rather than just using the APS score. This paper argues for a more complex view of predicting learner vulnerability for early interventions by incorporating the learner's background, individual characteristics, and schooling data. It does not agree with the aggregation of National Senior Certificate (NSC) subjects into APS scores since this normalises the complexity of the subtle relations between the schooling system, learner attrition, and pre-schooling pedagogical dynamics. This paper points to a more nuanced view of predicting learner vulnerability.
WILLINGNESS TO PAY ANALYSIS OF EDELWEISS FLOWER FROM EX-SITU CONSERVATION AT WONOKITRI VILLAGE, PASURUAN REGENCY

One of endemic flora that has become an icon in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) area is the Edelweiss Flower. The existence of tourism developments in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) area makes the demand for Edelweiss flowers as souvenirs even greater. It affects the economic value of these commodities. The population decline threatens its availability for the Tengger indigenous people who use Edelweiss Flowers as offerings that other components cannot replace. Until 2017, several Wonokitri Village communities, under the guidance of TNBTS, formed a farmer group called Hulun Hyang to conserve the Edelweiss Flower ex-situ. It was a long journey for the Hulun Hyang farmer group to get a breeding permit from the KLHK regarding wanawiyata widyakarya. This study aims to measure the willingness to pay of Edelweiss Park tourists for edelweiss flowers from the Ex-Situ conservation of the Hulun Hyang Farmer Group and determine what factors influence the willingness to pay. This study uses primary data with the number of respondents as many as 100 respondents who were conducted randomly or random sampling. The contingent valuation method (CVM) approach can estimate willingness to pay. This study's analytical tool uses multiple linear regression on SPSS 22. Based on the analysis, the average willingness to pay per person for a simple series containing 100 stalks of Edelweiss flowers is Rp. 36,307.00, with a total value of willingness to pay Rp. 3,667,000.00. The factors that are thought to significantly influence the value of willingness to pay for Edelweiss Flowers from Ex-situ Conservation of the "Hulun Hyang" Farmer Group in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park are the latest education and monthly income.
DYNAMIC STATE‐SPACE MODELS

Abstract. In many cases, multiple time series can be viewed as realizations of the same underlying process and such data usually accumulate in time. The historic time‐series data provide important information for our current prediction. In this paper, we extend the traditional state‐space model to a general dynamic scheme, in which estimation and prediction across time series and within a time series are handled by a unified O(N) sequential procedure. Under this framework, the information from historic data serves as the prior for the current time series and the estimation and prediction of a time series can incorporate the information from other time series as well as its own history. The solution is to construct sequentially a new state‐space model for the next time series conditional on the past time series. Because we achieve the general dynamic estimation and prediction through constructing new conditional state‐space models, existing estimation procedures for state‐space models can be adapted into this framework with minimal modifications. An application to infant growth curves is used as illustration.
Substantial contribution of effective mass variation to electron- acoustic phonon interaction via deformation potential in semiconductor nanostructures

Using the approach of deformed ions and the tight binding, we have demonstrated that the interaction of electrons confined in a nanostructure with acoustic phonons in a cubic crystal is described by a deformation potential tensor (DPT) whose symmetry is determined by the geometry of the nanostructure. Here in, we present additional contribution to the DPT which is caused by the deformation dependence of the electron effective mass and it increases as L−2 when the characteristic size of a nanostructure, L, decreases. For narrow GaAs-based quantum wells, this contribution is comparable with and can overcome that from the usual deformation potential coupling.
The spin flop of synthetic antiferromagnetic films

The spin flop of synthetic antiferromagnetic pinned layers (SAF), under a magnetic field has been theoretically predicted and recently reported [J. G. Zhu and Y. Zheng, IEEE Trans. Magn. 34, 1063 (1998); J. G. Zhu, IEEE Trans. Magn. 35, 655 (1999)]. However, no experimental data have yet being reported to confirm the theoretical prediction. This article will provide direct experimental evidence to confirm the spin flop phenomenon in SAF layers. A spin valve, [CoFe/NiFe]/Cu/[CoFe(II)/Ru/CoFe(I)]/IrMn, was used to verify the spin flop in SAF layers. The exchange bias direction of CoFe(I)/IrMn was introduced by a magnetic annealing process at 225 °C with a field strength of Han(10 kOe) and the exchange bias direction was found parallel to the magnetic field. These samples serve as the reference for the remaining experiments. By magnetic annealing the reference samples at 225 °C with lower magnetic fields, we found that the magnetic field threshold for SAF spin flop is about 1 kOe. When the field is further i.
Multiquadric Equations and Optimal Areal Rainfall Estimation

Numerical surface-fitting methods such as kriging, reciprocal distance, and multiquadric equations have often been employed for interpolation of discrete spatial data such as rainfall depth observations. Such methods have been used occasionally for estimation of average areal rainfall depth. When these or similar surface-fitting techniques are used for areal rainfall depth estimation, a weighted average of the discrete rainfall depth observations results. The rainfall depth estimates are unbiased if the numerical surface can fit a nonzero uniform depth exactly everywhere in the region. The unbiased conic multiquadric surface yields optimal gauge weighting coefficients for rainfall data correlated by a linear covariance function. The unbiased conic multiquadric method is a robust estimator of average areal rainfall that does not require extensive rainfall data with which to characterize the stochastic nature of the rainfall process. Unbiased multiquadric analysis appears to reduce the problem of negative g.
Coast of departure and coast of arrival: two important concepts for the formation and structure of convective snowbands over seas and lakes

Abstract A case with intense convective snowbands over the Baltic Sea is examined using the High-Resolution Limited Area Model. The intention is to gain a better insight into the importance of the shape of the coasts, the orography, and the surface roughness on the formation and evolution of the snowbands. Among the factors studied are the shape of the coast from which the air departs and that to which it arrives. These factors are so important that two new concepts—coast of departure and coast of arrival—are introduced.
Distribution and Radiative Forcing of Tropical Thin Cirrus Clouds

Abstract To understand the radiative impact of tropical thin cirrus clouds, the frequency of occurrence and optical depths of these clouds have been derived. “Thin” cirrus clouds are defined here as being those that are not detected by the operational Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud mask, corresponding to an optical depth value of approximately 0.3 or smaller, but that are detectable in terms of the cirrus reflectance product based on the MODIS 1.375-μm channel. With such a definition, thin cirrus clouds were present in more than 40% of the pixels flagged as “clear sky” by the operational MODIS cloud mask algorithm. It is shown that these thin cirrus clouds are frequently observed in deep convective regions in the western Pacific. Thin cirrus optical depths were derived from the cirrus reflectance product. Regions of significant cloud fraction and large optical depths were observed in the Northern Hemisphere during the boreal spring and summer and moved southward during the bor.
Temperature dependence of the minority carrier lifetime in GaAs/AlGaAs double heterostructures

We have studied the photoluminescence decay time in a series of high quality GaAs/AlGaAs double heterostructure samples, grown by liquid phase epitaxy, with different p‐type doping. We have compared the experimentally observed decay time as a function of temperature from 100 to 700 K, with a complete calculation of the radiative recombination rate, including the temperature dependence of the reabsorption factor. We conclude that the observed decay time is well explained by a dominating radiative recombination up to temperatures of about 500 K. The internal quantum efficiency is hence close to unity. At higher temperatures we observe a deviation from the expected values for the radiative recombination, attributed to a nonradiative recombination channel.
Double Chooz and the search for short range anti-neutrino oscillations

The Double Chooz Experiment seeks to search for short range antineutrino oscillations from the nuclear reactors at the Chooz Nuclear Power Station operated by Electricite de France in Northeastern France. The measurements are of interest to constraining the value for θ13 in current neutrino oscillation models. New scintillator types based on beta-diketone and pH stabilized carboxylic acid chemistry are described. New results from the study of these scintillators in the context of the detector design are reported.

Apparent Tilt Angle and Structural Investigations of the Fluorinated Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystal Material for Display Application

Recently the investigation in the field of display technology has been boosted by the availability of new materials. The mostly promised solution for that looks to be based on an antiferroelectric liquid crystalline materials (AFLC). The new group of materials consisting of a fluorinated terminal chain has been recently synthesized in Poland [1]. Such key factors as the optical indices, apparent tilt angle, and structural properties and electrooptical performance of these materials have been studied. The effect of the bend (hockey stick like) molecular shape has been assumed as a factor leading to an high apparent optical tilt angle. The relation between the apparent optical tilt angle and the tilt measured using XRD method and its change with the temperature has been explained.
Influence of the velocity ratio on the spatial instability of mixing layers

The linear spatial instability of the tanh and Blasius mixing layers is studied for different values of the ratio between the difference and the sum of the velocities of the two co‐flowing streams. The growth rate, phase velocity, and perturbation velocity distributions are determined numerically and the results are compared with expansions for small shear or low frequency. It is found that the maximum growth rate is approximately proportional to the velocity ratio. This is shown to be consistent with the observed variation of shear layer spreading rate with velocity ratio and with a recent model of flight effects on jet mixing noise.
Astrophysics in 2001

During the year, astronomers provided explanations for solar topics ranging from the multiple personality disorder of neutrinos to cannibalism of CMEs (coronal mass ejections) and extra‐solar topics including quivering stars, out‐of‐phase gaseous media, black holes of all sizes (too large, too small, and too medium), and the existence of the universe. Some of these explanations are probably possibly true, though the authors are not betting large sums on any one. The data ought to remain true forever, though this requires a careful definition of “data” (think of the Martian canals).
Effectiveness of exercise intervention on improving fundamental motor skills in children with autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe public health concern, and most of the children with ASD experience a substantial delay in FMS. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of exercise interventions in improving FMS in children with ASD, and provide evidence to support the scientific use of exercise interventions in practice. Methods We searched seven online databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO, Clinical Trials, and The Cochrane Library) from inception to May 20, 2022. We included randomized control trials of exercise interventions for FMS in children with ASD. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. Stata 14.0 software was used for meta-analysis, forest plotting, subgroup analysis, heterogeneity analysis, and meta-regression. Results Thirteen studies underwent systematic review (541 participants), of which 10 underwent meta-analysis (297 participants). Overall, exercise interventions significantly improved overall FMS in children with ASD. Regarding the three categories of FMS, exercise interventions significantly improved LMS (SMD = 1.07; 95% CI 0.73 to 1.41, p < 0.001), OCS (SMD = 0.79; 95% CI 0.32 to 1.26, p = 0.001), and SS (SMD = 0.72; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.98, p < 0.0001). Conclusion exercise interventions can effectively improve the FMS of children with ASD. The effects on LMS are considered as large effect sizes, while the effects on OCS and SS are considered as moderate effect sizes. These findings can inform clinical practice.

Given the growing popularity of LCA, we aim to equip readers with theoretical fundamentals as well as computational tools. We outline some potential pitfalls of LCA and suggest related solutions. Moreover, we demonstrate how to conduct frequentist and Bayesian LCA in R with real and simulated data. To ease learning, the analysis is broken down into a series of simple steps. Beyond the simple LCA, two extensions including mixed-model LCA and growth curve LCA are provided to aid readers’ transition to more advanced models. The complete R code and data set are provided.
Contextual Factors That Impact the Implementation of Patient Portals With a Focus on Older People in Acute Care Hospitals: Scoping Review

Background Older people are the highest users of health services but are less likely to use a patient portal than younger people. Objective This scoping review aimed to identify and synthesize the literature on contextual factors that impact the implementation of patient portals in acute care hospitals and among older people. Methods A scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. The following databases were searched from 2010 to June 2020: MEDLINE and Embase via the Ovid platform, CINAHL and PsycINFO via the EBSCO platform, and the Cochrane Library. Eligible reviews were published in English; focused on the implementation of tethered patient portals; included patients, health care professionals, managers, and budget holders; and aimed at identifying the contextual factors (ie, barriers and facilitators) that impact the implementation of patient portals. Review titles and abstracts and full-text publications were screened in duplicate. The study characteristics were charted by one author and checked for accuracy by a second author. The NASSS (Non-adoption, Abandonment, Scale-up, Spread, and Sustainability) framework was used to synthesize the findings. Results In total, 10 systematic reviews published between 2015 and 2020 were included in the study. Of these, 3 (30%) reviews addressed patient portals in acute care hospitals, and 2 (20%) reviews addressed the implementation of patient portals among older people in multiple settings (including acute care hospitals). To maximize the inclusion of the literature on patient portal implementation, we also included 5 reviews of systematic reviews that examined patient portals in multiple care settings (including acute care hospitals). Contextual factors influencing patient portal implementation tended to cluster in specific NASSS domains, namely the condition, technology, and value proposition. Certain aspects within these domains received more coverage than others, such as sociocultural factors and comorbidities, the usability and functionality aspects of the technology, and the demand-side value. There are gaps in the literature pertinent to the consideration of the provision of patient portals for older people in acute care hospitals, including the lack of consideration of the diversity of older adults and their needs, the question of interoperability between systems (likely to be important where care involves multiple services), the involvement of lay caregivers, and looking beyond short-term implementation to ways in which portal use can be sustained. Conclusions We identified important contextual factors that impact patient portal implementation and key gaps in the literature. Future research should focus on evaluating strategies that address disparities in use and promote engagement with patient portals among older people in acute care settings.
