The Temperate North Pacific Bryozoan Smittoidea prolifica (Cheilostomatida: Smittinidae) in the Northwest Atlantic
Authors: Trott Thomas J.
Published: September 2024

The Pacific bryozoan, Smittoidea prolifica Osburn, 1952, is reported for the first time from the Northwest Atlantic coast. Colonies were discovered during routine benthic sampling of Casco Bay, Maine, encrusting mussel shells and barnacles. Aiming to compare specimens from native and introduced locations, uncertainties about the Pacific range of S. prolifica were resolved by re-examining specimens from Japan, southern Korea, the United States west coast, and Mexico. The occurrence of this species in Japan was confirmed but southern Korea specimens were found to be Smittoidea spinigera (Liu, 1990). Comparisons of biometrics among specimens from widely dispersed locations where S. prolifica is native and introduced showed significant trends in variation with most characters largest for California and smallest for Germany. Zooid width was largest for Maine specimens. Comparisons between oceans showed that Pacific and Atlantic specimens differed significantly in all measures except zooid length and orifice width. Low substrate specificity and broad range of temperatures and salinities in occupied habitats suggests the potential for successful introduction is high. Smittoidea prolifica was most likely introduced through commercial shipping from the North Sea where it is an established non-native species. This was the third non-indigenous species found in Casco Bay discovered within the same timeframe and which shared the same likely region of origin. This spike matched a rise in commercial shipping from the Northeast Atlantic to Portland, Maine, suggesting this seaport is shifting towards becoming a bioinvasion hotspot.
The diversity, distribution, and taxonomic history of the Brazilian Tanaidacea (Crustacea)
Authors: Segadilha Juliana L. , Araújo-Silva Catarina L.
Published: September 2024

Tanaidaceans have a worldwide distribution, with 36 families, 316 genera, and 1575 extant species described. This study aimed to compile the resulting taxonomic information for Brazilian waters obtained to produce the available online catalogue Taxonomic Catalogue of the Brazilian Fauna. Results show 63 species described for Brazilian waters: 30 Apseudomorpha and 33 Tanaidomorpha, distributed in 46 genera and 18 families. For apseudomorphan, Kalliapseudidae is the most diverse family (12.7%), followed by Apseudidae and Parapseudidae (9.5% each). For tanaidomorphan, Typhlotanaidae is the most diverse (15.9%) followed by Leptocheliidae (9.5%) and Tanaididae (7.9%). In Brazilian waters, more than 60% of Tanaidacea species are distributed in shallow waters (42 species; 63.6%), including continental areas, and about 1/3 are recorded from deep-sea (24 species; 36.4%). Southeast Region of Brazil holds most records with 46 occurrences, followed by the Northeast Region with 19 occurrences. Our results highlight the increasing number of publications and new Brazilian tanaids species in the last 15 years, and this is directly correlated to where specialists in alpha-taxonomy, systematics/phylogeny, and ecology are based in. Our current dataset also indicates an important aspect regarding the lack of taxonomic experts of Tanaidacea worldwide, but especially in Brazil. This study gives an overview of all the information that may help elucidate future research on the taxonomic diversity of tanaidaceans in Brazil, thus it is expected that this may encourage further studies and specialists for the group.
Configuration design of movable heavy-duty reconfigurable posture adjustment platform with dual motion modes
Authors: Wang Rui , Xiong Xiaoyan , Zhang Jinzhu , Yuan Ruilin
Published: September 2024

The existing single-mode posture adjustment equipment for solar wing docking is only suitable for a limited number of satellite dimensions; it could not meet the diverse development trends of satellite models. The working range requirements are different when different-sized satellites dock with the solar wing, and the docking process is divided into two stages in this paper. While the DOFs required for the two stages are different, a movable heavy-load reconfigurable redundant posture adjustment platform (RrPAP) with dual motion modes is proposed in this paper. The RrPAP consists of a wheeled mobile platform and a reconfigurable parallel posture adjustment mechanism (PAM). The micro-motion PAM limb types are synthesized, and the comprehensive load-bearing index is proposed to select the mechanism types for heavy-load conditions. A decentralized four-limb six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) parallel micro-motion PAM is designed. In the macro-motion stage, for the PAM to still have a defined motion after being released from ground constraints, a serial coupling sub-chain is designed between adjacent limbs to restrict relative movement between them. A type synthesis method for symmetrically coupled mechanisms based on mechanism decoupling and motion distribution is proposed. Four types of symmetrically coupled mechanisms with multi-loop consisting of serial coupling sub-chains are synthesized by using this method. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated through an example using the constraint synthesis method based on screw theory. This work provides a foundation for subsequent refinement and expansion of type synthesis theories and the selection of new types of mechanisms.
The times, they are a-changing: Australian secondary classroom music teachers reflect on their early career 40 years on
Authors: Carter Jennifer
Published: September 2024

The period 1974–1999 were transition years for government school systems in Australia and New South Wales (NSW), where government agencies issued numerous policies and documents to influence and manage education and resultant classroom pedagogy. During those years, many music syllabi were produced for enactment in NSW, placing multiple demands on teacher accountability. This paper forms part of a larger study involving three generations of music teachers representing different career stages and experiences and presents the voices of the group of experienced music teachers (EMTs), exploring the impact of syllabus change, teacher identity, pedagogical skills, and eventual flourishing as confident teachers.

Published: September 2024

Childhood maltreatment (CM) deeply impacts victims’ social competences. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect that CM duration exerts on victims’ affective and social development testing three different impact trajectories (i.e., linear, logarithmic and quadratic) and its physiological (facial mimicry and autonomic regulation of the heart) and behavioral (percentage of anger recognition false alarm) markers. In a cross-sectional design, 73 Sierra Leonean youths (all males, 5–17 years old) were enrolled in the study. Of those, 36 were homeless all abandoned at the age of 4 and exposed to CM, whereas 37 were controls. Only physiological markers of affective development were influenced by CM duration. A quadratic relation between the autonomic regulation recorded at rest and CM duration was found, indicating initial physiological compensation followed by progressive autonomic withdrawal. Furthermore, CM duration was associated to a specific linear decrease of facial mimicry and vagal regulation in response to angry and sad facial expressions whereas no influences were detected for happy and fearful faces. The results of the present study provide insightful clues on victims’ natural patterns of resilience, deterioration, and chronicity, allowing a deeper comprehension of the developmental pathways through which early life adversities place youths on a track of lifelong health disparities.
From prenatal maternal anxiety and respiratory sinus arrhythmia to toddler internalizing problems: The role of infant negative affectivity

Published: September 2024

Prenatal maternal anxiety is considered a risk factor for the development of child internalizing problems. However, little is known about potential mechanisms that account for these associations. The current study examined whether prenatal maternal anxiety was indirectly associated with toddler internalizing problems via prenatal maternal physiology and infant negative affectivity. We examined these associations in a longitudinal study of 162 expectant mothers from their third trimester until 18 months postpartum. Path analyses showed that higher prenatal anxiety was associated with higher infant negative affectivity at 7 months, which in turn was associated with higher toddler internalizing problems at 18 months. Prenatal anxiety was not indirectly associated with child outcomes via baseline or task-evoked respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) in response to an infant cry while pregnant. However, pregnant women with greater decreases in task-evoked RSA had toddlers with greater internalizing problems, which was mediated by infant negative affectivity at 7 months. Findings suggest that prenatal anxiety and RSA reactivity to an infant cry may be independent risk factors for the development of infant negative affectivity, which in turn increases risk for toddler internalizing problems. These findings contribute to a growing literature on mechanisms that underlie intergenerational transmission of internalizing problems.
Pharmacoeconomic implications of preference toward reference- versus generic-brand antidepressants in primary care
Authors: Gultekin Onur , Aydin Volkan , Bayram Dilara , Atac Omer , Akici Ahmet
Published: September 2024

Background:

The prevalence of depression is gradually increasing worldwide with an increasing utilization of antidepressants. Nevertheless, despite their lower costs, generic-brand antidepressants were reported to be less prescribed. We aimed to examine the costs of reference- versus generic-brand antidepressant prescriptions in primary care practice.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study included electronic prescriptions for adult patients that contained antidepressants (World Health Organization’s Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) code: N06A), which were generated by a systematically selected sample of primary care doctors (n = 1431) in Istanbul in 2016. We examined the drug groups preferred, the reference- versus generic-brand status, and pharmacotherapy costs.

Findings:

The majority of the prescriptions were prescribed for women (71.8%), and the average age of the patients was 53.6 ± 16.2 years. In prescriptions with a depression-related indication (n = 40 497), the mean number and cost of drugs were 1.5 ± 1.0 and 22.7 ± 26.4 United States Dollar ($) per prescription, respectively. In these prescriptions, the mean number and cost of antidepressants per encounter were 1.1 ± 0.2 and $17.0 ± 13.2, respectively. Reference-brand antidepressants were preferred in 58.2% of depression-related prescriptions, where the mean cost per prescription was $18.3 ± 12.4. The mean cost per prescription of the generics, which constituted 41.8% of the antidepressants in prescriptions, was $15.1 ± 11.4. We found that if the generic version with the lowest cost was prescribed instead of the reference-brand, the mean cost per prescription would be $12.9 ± 11.2.

Conclusions:

Our study highlighted the substantial pharmacoeconomic impact of generic-brand antidepressant prescribing, whose preference over reference-brands could reduce the cost of antidepressant medication treatment by 17.5% in primary care, which could be approximately doubled if the cheapest generic antidepressant had been prescribed.
Overall review of distributed photovoltaic development in China: process, dynamic, and theories
Authors: Hongliang Zhang Alex , Sirin Selahattin Murat
Published: September 2024

Non-technical summary

DPV systems, typically small to medium-sized solar power installations on buildings, which primarily and directly supply electricity to industrial, commercial, or residential consumers in proximity. DPV is an advocated renewable substation for climate change and energy saving for merits of low installation costs, high energy efficiency, and the ability to provide decentralized power supply. Our research has theoretical significance in explaining and understanding the development and policy evolution of DPV in China and provide valuable suggestions for future industry policies during grid parity.

Technical summary

Since 2021, China has been phasing out its decade-long feed-in tariff policies, reducing the photovoltaic industry's dependency on subsidies. Despite the challenges posed by declining electricity prices and slowdown in economic growth, the authorities continue to prioritize the development of DPV due to its low investment costs, high energy efficiency, and decentralized power supply, and these technologies have already achieved demand-side parity. Driven by this phenomenon, this study examines the trajectory of DPV diffusion and the evolution of related policies over the last decade. It unravels the dynamic mechanism of DPV investment through theoretical analysis and develops a macro model to identify optimal installation strategies and renewable energy proportions. Our findings highlight the increasing role of green energy and suggest that green finance is crucial for stimulating DPV investment in the era of grid parity. The study concludes with practical recommendations for overcoming DPV challenges in China.

Social media summary

DPV has become a prominent renewable energy solution in other countries but not in China. We probe the system dynamics modeling to give explanation and solution during grid parity.
It’s All About That Case
Authors: Hourihan Kathleen L. , Fawcett Jonathan M.
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Prior evidence has indicated that the act of producing a word aloud is more effortful than reading a word silently, and this effort is related to the subsequent memory advantage for produced words. In the current study, we further examined the contributions of reading effort to the overall production effect by making silent reading more effortful. To do this, participants studied words that were presented in standard lowercase font format and words that were presented in an aLtErNaTiNg CaSe font format (which should be more effortful to read). Half of the words in each font condition were read aloud, and half were read silently. Participants completed an old/new recognition test. Experiment 1 was conducted online; Experiment 2 was conducted in-lab and recorded reading times at study to confirm that alternating case font slows reading. In both experiments, we found a production effect in recognition that was uninfluenced by font type. We also found that alternating case font selectively increased recollection (but not familiarity) relative to lowercase font. Thus, the additional time to read words in a disfluent font does not appear to interact with memory benefit of producing words aloud.

Antiapoptotic protein, including Mcl-1, expression is frequently observed in pancreatic cancer. Gemcitabine plus nabpaclitaxel (GnP) is the standard chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC); however, predictive markers for its efficacy remain unestablished. This study evaluated the association between GnP’s therapeutic effects and Mcl-1 expression in tissue samples obtained using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic tumor or percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy for metastatic liver tumor. We retrospectively reviewed 38 patients with histologically diagnosed MPC who received GnP as the first-line chemotherapy at our institute between December 2014 and July 2018. Post-immunohistochemistry analysis for Mcl-1 expression detection, patients were divided to into two groups based on the cell proportion showing Mcl-1 immunoreactivity: positive (> 20%; 23 [60.5%] patients) and negative (≤ 20%; 15 [39.5%] patients) groups. Clinical characteristics did not differ between the two groups. The Mcl-1 positive group showed a significantly higher disease control rate (95.7% vs. 73.3%; P = 0.046), longer progressionfree survival (PFS) (7.2 months vs. 4.9 months; P = 0.018) and longer overall survival (OS) (14.9 months vs. 9.2 months; P = 0.008) than the Mcl-1 negative group. Multivariate analysis showed that Mcl-1 expression was an independent predictive marker for PFS and OS. Mcl-1 expression could be a predictive marker for favorable response to GnP.
In vitro comparison of human and murine trabecular meshwork cells: implications for glaucoma research

Published: September 2024

The trabecular meshwork (TM) is crucial for regulating intraocular pressure (IOP), and its dysfunction significantly contributes to glaucoma, a leading cause of vision loss and blindness worldwide. Although rodents are commonly used as animal models in glaucoma research, the applicability of these findings to humans is limited due to the insufficient understanding of murine TM. This study aimed to compare primary human TM (hTM) and murine TM (mTM) cells in vitro to enhance the robustness and translatability of murine glaucoma models. In this in vitro study, we compared primary hTM and mTM cells under simulated physiological and pathological conditions by exposing both cell types to the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) and Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFB2), both of which are critical in the pathogenesis of several ophthalmological diseases, including glaucoma. Phagocytic properties were assessed using microbeads. Cells were analyzed through immunocytochemistry (ICC) and Western blot (WB) to evaluate the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such as Fibronectin 1 (FN1) and Collagen IV (COL IV). Filamentous-Actin (F-Act) staining was used to analyze cross-linked actin network (CLAN) formation. Additionally, we evaluated cytoskeletal components, including Vimentin (VIM), Myocilin (MYOC), and Actin-alpha-2 (ACTA2). Our results demonstrated significant similarities between human and murine TM cells in basic morphology, phagocytic properties, and ECM and cytoskeletal component expression under both homeostatic and pathological conditions in vitro. Both human and murine TM cells exhibited epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) after exposure to DEX or TGFB2, with comparable CLAN formation observed in both species. However, there were significant differences in FN1 and MYOC induction between human and murine TM cells. Additionally, MYOC expression in hTM cells depended on fibronectin coating. Our study suggests that murine glaucoma models are potentially translatable to human TM. The observed similarities in ECM and cytoskeletal component expression and the comparable EMT response and CLAN formation support the utility of murine models in glaucoma research. The differences in FN1 and MYOC expression between hTM and mTM warrant further investigation due to their potential impact on TM properties. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the species-specific characteristics of TM and highlights opportunities to refine murine models for better relevance to human glaucoma.

Published: September 2024

Tiger sharks are apex predators with a circumglobal tropical and warm-temperate distribution, with a general lack of population data for the central Indian Ocean. In Fuvahmulah, Maldives, tiger sharks display frequent use of the harbour area, attracted by discarded fish waste. Here, we document the population structure, residency, and reproductive characteristics of the world’s largest known tiger shark aggregation in a geographically-restricted area. Using non-invasive methods, photo identification and laser photogrammetry, we identified 239 individual tiger sharks over a 7-year study period. The aggregation was female-dominated (84.5%), with both large juveniles and adults present. Adult females were resighted over the entire study period displaying strong inter- and intra-annual site fidelity. Modelled residency using maximum likelihood methods suggests they spent 60.7 ± S.E. 7.5 days in Fuvahmulah, with a larger aggregation size, shorter residence periods and longer absence periods compared to juvenile females. Prolonged abdominal distensions of adult females indicate they likely stay near Fuvahmulah during gestation and reproduce biennially. Fuvahmulah seems to provide suitable conditions for gestation given the year-round provision of food and warm waters, exhibited by strong site fidelity and temporal residency. Our results show indications of a thriving population within the confines of protected waters.
In-plane structural and electronic anisotropy of nanoporous Pt films formed by oblique angle deposition
Authors: Kim Daeju , Kim Dong Yeong , Kwon Hyunah , Cho Jaehee
Published: September 2024

Nanoporous Pt films fabricated by oblique angle deposition hold potential as electrocatalysts in various energy-related fields owing to their high surface area, structural stability, and adequate conductivity. In this study, we investigated the morphology, porosity, and electrical conductivity of nanoporous Pt thin films and systematically studied their interrelationships. Specifically, we revealed an in-plane anisotropy in the electrical conductivity that correlates with the surface morphology of the film. This anisotropy was evident in the resistance measurements along the in-plane lateral and vertical directions, which aligned well with our simple model. The results emphasize the significance of film morphology in determining the film’s electrical properties. This study contributes to the understanding of the physical properties of Pt films fabricated via oblique angle deposition and offers valuable insights for designing nanoporous films for various applications.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to determine the contribution of green banking to integrated Sharia Maqasid- based performance and to reveal whether social performance with Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) disclosure strengthens the relation between green banking and integrated Sharia Maqasid-based performance. We evaluated the research model using the PLS algorithm and then carried out hypothesis testing. Then, using the purposive sampling method, 130 data were collected from 26 Sharia Banks, 9 Sharia Banks in Indonesia and 16 Sharia Banks in Malaysia, from 2018 to 2022. We find that Green Banking positively affects Integrated Maqasid Al-Shariah Performance Measures, and ISR hurts Integrated Maqasid Al-Shariah Performance Measures. Furthermore, the disclosure of ISR strengthens the effect of Green Banking on performance based on integrated Sharia Maqasid. However, no bank has a high score and fully meets the requirements for green banking, Islamic Social Reporting, and performance based on integrated Maqasid Sharia. Therefore, Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia need to maximize the expansion of green banking, Islamic Social Reporting, and performance based on integrated Sharia Maqasid

Authors: Kusuma Dimas Bagus Wiranata , Adam Wanda Nursuci , Aprizal Anggi
Published: September 2024

The swift advancement of digital technology is evident in multiple domains, including the business realm. This is evident from the ease with which customers can make payments using fintech services in physical stores, such as mobile payments. Thus, by using the Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM), this study attempts to analyze consumer switching behavior in offline stores from cash payment methods to mobile payments. The analysis was conducted by students in Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (FEB UMY). A structured questionnaire was utilized to gather data from 98 participants who satisfied the research criteria. Switching behavior was the dependent variable, and the push, pull, and mooring effects were the independent variables that were measured. Then, by utilizing Smart PLS 4 software, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The research findings demonstrated that the consumers remained stuck with the cash payment method because the push effect, measured by satisfaction and perceived risk, had a negative and negligible impact on switching behavior. Customers tended to move to mobile payment methods due to the pull effect, which included agreement tendencies, ease of use, and convenience. Statistically, pull effect had a positive and significant impact on switching behavior. In addition, mooring variable positively and significantly impacted switching behavior, which was due to encompassing peer groups, subjective standards, and consumer innovation. These findings suggest that consumer behavior regarding fintech, particularly for students, is complementary rather than substitution in nature. For that reason, transactions among students of FEB UMY combine cash and mobile payments all together.
Legal Aspects of Digital Bank Risk Management

Published: September 2024

Access to the 2022 National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) shows that the Financial Literacy index of Indonesian society is 49.68%, and financial inclusion is 85.10%. It shows that the Indonesian public's understanding of banks, especially digital banks, is still 49.68% compared to the number of banking transactions carried out at 85.10%. It causes potential banking legal risks. This research analyses digital bank risk management and the potential for digital bank crime. This research uses research methods, namely normative literature study, which involves reviewing statutory provisions and reading journals related to the research. The approaches used are statutory and concept approaches. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has issued regulations providing a legal umbrella for digital banking to protect customers from these risks, namely Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 18/POJK.03/2016 concerning implementing Risk Management for Commercial Banks. However, overcoming risks is not only a countermeasure carried out by banks but also by customers to maintain the security of their data and be careful when carrying out online transactions. Apart from that, the countermeasures carried out by law enforcement officials are taking repressive action in dealing with cases of digital bank crime. All elements of society should work together to overcome the risk of digital banking crime.

New data proves that university students in Indonesia, especially this Gen Z, are increasingly turning to BNPL services. Employment in the BNPL model results from unsupervised spending that significantly affects Generation Z, no previous studies on the motivation and challenges of BNPL could be identified. Thus, this research aims at ascertaining. The data was gathered from 373 participants and the data analysis technique employed in this study was Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The data suggest that 59 percent of initiates, new members or olde for entertainment alone, it accounts for 3% consumption and most of the users are women. The last factor is perceived benefits where users believe that BNPL has certain benefits that are perceived by society. From the assessment of the sample using the financial literacy, capacity, and attitude dealing with the assessment of financial awareness among the Indonesian university students indicate that they are highly deficient in financial awareness. As confirmed by most of the university students most BNPL services are commonly employed for leisure. It is crucial that factors that led to the release of these BNPL apps should be rectified in future for them to serve their intended purpose.

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound global impact, raising concerns about its long-term effects, particularly neurological complications. While studies have highlighted such complications in adults, there is a paucity of research focusing on children.

Objective To examine the medium- to long-term neurological and cognitive symptoms in 18 year old children and below with positive versus negative COVID-19 antigens and to identify the probable risk factors to promote specific health actions.

Methods An observational study was carried out to determine neurological symptoms in the medium and long terms after COVID 19. A random sample of 124 children, both symptomatic or asymptomatic, tested positive or negative for COVID-19 through swab tests.

Results Neurological symptoms were assessed between 6 to 12 months and 2 years after the infection. Acute symptoms, including headache, anosmia, ageusia, and myalgia, were observed in more than 20% of the children, but they generally resolved within 6 to 12 months. Persistent functional difficulties, such as in studying, paying attention, and socializing, were reported in 3% of the cases. Behavioral symptoms at baseline were noted in 7.8% of children, but they were remitted in most cases, except for those with prior involvement.

Conclusion These findings underscore the need for continued monitoring of children following COVID-19 infection and the importance of tailored health interventions.

High-temperature thin-film strain sensors are advanced technological devices for monitoring stress and strain in extreme environments, but the coupling of temperature and strain at high temperature is a challenge for their use. Here, this issue is addressed by creating a composite ink that combines Pb2Ru2O6 and TiB2 using polysilazane (PSZ) as a binder. After direct writing and annealing the PSZ/Pb2Ru2O6/TiB2 film at 800 °C in air, the resulting thin film exhibits a low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of only 281 ppm/°C over a wide temperature range from 100 °C to 700 °C, while also demonstrating high sensitivity with a gauge factor approaching 19.8. This exceptional performance is attributed to the intrinsic properties of Pb2Ru2O6, which has positive TCR at high temperature, and TiB2, which has negative TCR at high temperature. Combining these materials reduces the overall TCR of the film. Tests showed that the PSZ/Pb2Ru2O6/TiB2 film maintains stable strain responses and significant signal output even under varying temperature. These findings provide valuable insights for developing high-temperature strain sensors with low TCR and high sensitivity, highlighting their potential for applications in high-temperature strain measurements.
Diffusiophoresis of ionic catalytic particles

A migration of charged particles relative to a solvent, caused by a gradient of salt concentration and termed a diffusiophoresis, is of much interest being exploited in many fields. Existing theories deal with diffusiophoresis of passive inert particles. In this paper, we extend prior models by focusing on a particle, which is both passive and catalytic, by postulating an uniform ion release over its surface. We derive an expression for a particle velocity depending on a dimensionless ion flux (Damköhler number Da) and show that a charged region is formed at distances of the order of the particle size, provided the diffusion coefficients of anions and cations are unequal. When Da becomes large enough, the contribution of this (outer) region to the particle velocity dominates. In this case, the speed of catalytic passive particles augments linearly with Da and is inversely proportional to the square of electrolyte concentration. As a result, they always migrate toward a high concentration region and, in dilute solutions, become much faster than inert (non-catalytic) ones.

This study experimentally optimizes the mixing of a turbulent jet at Reynolds number 10 000 with the surrounding air by targeted shear layer actuation. The forcing is composed of superposed harmonic signals of different azimuthal wavenumber m generated by eight loudspeakers circumferentially distributed around the nozzle lip. Amplitudes and frequencies of the individual harmonic contributions serve as optimization parameters, and the time-averaged centerline velocity downstream of the potential core is used as a metric for mixing optimization. The actuation is optimized through Bayesian optimization. Three search spaces are explored—axisymmetric forcing, m = 0, superposed axisymmetric and helical forcing, m∈{0,1}, and axisymmetric actuation combined with two counter-rotating helical modes, m∈{−1,0,1}. High-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV) is employed to analyze the jet response to the optimized forcing. The optimization processes are analyzed by persistent data topology. In the search space of axisymmetric excitation, the routine identifies an actuation at the natural frequency of the flow to be most efficient, with the centerline velocity being decreased by 15%. The optimal solutions in both the two-mode and three-mode search space converge to a similar forcing with one axial and one helical mode combined at a frequency ratio of around 2.3. Spectral analysis of the PIV images reveals that for the identified optimal forcing frequencies, a non-linear interaction between forced and natural structures in the jet flow is triggered, leading to a reduction in centerline velocity of around 35%. The topology of the most complex search space from the discrete data reveals four basins of attractions, classified into three forcing patterns including axisymmetric, axisymmetric-helical, and axisymmetric-flapping. Two deep basins are related to the optimal pattern found as axisymmetric-helical, and the others are shallower.

In this paper, we report the excitation of coherent density and potential fluctuations induced by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity in the edge plasma region of ADITYA-U tokamak. When the amplitude of the MHD mode, mainly the m/n = 2/1, increases beyond a threshold value, |B̃θ|/Bθ ∼ 0.3%–0.4%, coherent oscillations in the density and potential fluctuations are observed having the same frequency as that of the MHD mode. The mode numbers of these MHD induced density and potential fluctuations are obtained by Langmuir probes placed at different radial, poloidal, and toroidal locations in the edge plasma region. Detailed analyses of these Langmuir probe measurements reveal that the coherent mode in edge potential fluctuation has a mode structure of m/n = 2/1, whereas the edge density fluctuation has an m/n = 1/1 structure. It is further observed that beyond the threshold, the coupled power fraction scales almost linearly with the magnitude of B̃θ/Bθ fluctuations. Furthermore, the rise rates of the coupled power fraction for coherent modes in density and potential fluctuations are also found to be dependent on the growth rate of magnetic fluctuations. The disparate mode structures of the excited modes in density and plasma potential fluctuations suggest that the underlying mechanism for their existence is the coupling of even harmonics of potential to the odd harmonics of pressure due to 1/R dependence of the toroidal magnetic field.

The optical excitation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamonds mostly results in fluorescence emission. During this process, a portion of the incident energy is transferred to phonon vibration, which heats the diamond crystal. For single NV color centers, the heat generated by the optical cycle is negligible, while for an ensemble of NV defects, the generated heat accumulates rapidly and heats the diamond. The temperature rise is rapid due to the high thermal conductivity of the diamond. In addition to the ability to be heated by light, the NV defect's unique properties also allow for the precise measurement of temperature using optically detected magnetic resonance. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that microcrystalline diamond containing NV center ensembles can be used as a self-gauged microheater. We attached a microcrystal diamond to an optical fiber in an endoscope configuration, evaluated its performance as a self-gauged heater under varied biologically relevant environments, and discussed its potential applications. In addition to the aforementioned capabilities, the NV defect enables the precise measurement of local magnetic fields. This provides a unique multimodal sensor to probe temperature-controlled magnetic phenomena at microscopic scales.
