Das Spitzenlastereignis 2015 im Versorgungsgebiet der Hessenwasser GmbH & Co. KG
Authors: Roth Ulrich , Coppola Franco , Wagner Holger
Published: January 2022

Der Sommer 2015 war für die Trinkwasserversorgung in Südhessen das erste ausgeprägte Spitzenlastereignis seit 2003. Die Bedarfszahlen in extremen Trockenjahren und speziell in ausgeprägten Hitzewellen in den Sommermonaten sind maßgeblich für die Planung und Bemessung der Anlagen, die Kapazitäts-Vorhaltung und die Grundwasserbewirtschaftung. Der Wasserbedarf im Versorgungsgebiet der Hessenwasser GmbH & Co. KG erreichte am 3. Juli 2015 praktisch exakt den im Regionalen Wasserbedarfsnachweis hierfür ausgewiesenen Planwert. Die vollständige Abdeckung dieser Bedarfsspitze belegte einerseits die Belastbarkeit des Versorgungskonzepts und des Leitungsverbundsystems, andererseits zeigte das Ereignis aber auch die Kapazitätsgrenzen und Versorgungsrisiken auf und bestätigte damit die Notwendigkeit der in den einschlägigen Studien ausgewiesenen Maßnahmenkataloge.
Genauigkeit von Einstrahl-Flügelradzählern bei Füllung des Rohrnetzes in der intermittierenden Wasserversorgung
Authors: Walter David , Mastaller Miran , Klingel Philipp
Published: January 2022

In intermittierend betriebenen Wasserverteilungssystemen muss die durch die alternierende Befüllung und Entleerung des Rohrnetzes in das System eingetragene Luft zwangsläufig auch aus dem System austreten. Ein Teil dieser Luft wird durch Hausanschlussleitungen ausgetragen und führt somit zu einer Verwendung von Wasserzählern entgegen ihrer eigentlichen Konzeption. In diesem Artikel wird eine Studie präsentiert, in der die Messabweichung von horizontal eingebauten Einstrahl-Flügelrad-Wasserzählern bei intermittierender Versorgung experimentell untersucht wurde. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Messabweichung maßgeblich durch den Luftfluss vor Eintreffen der Wasserfront am Wasserzähler verursacht wird. Der Zusammenhang von Messabweichung und Luftvolumen vor dem Wasserzähler ist näherungsweise linear. Der Einschlag der Wasserfront, das Vorhandensein von Wasser-Luft-Gemischen oder instationäre Fließvorgänge haben dagegen nur einen geringen Einfluss auf das Messergebnis.

Authors: Dettmar Joachim , Tritz Christopher , Hanus Frank
Published: January 2022

Im Jahr 2011 hat der Rotary Club Neunkirchen/Saar ein humanitäres Hilfsprojekt im Südwesten von Kenia initiert. Im Mittelpunkt des Vorhabens stehen die medizinische Versorgung, die Gesundheitsvorsorge und der Aufbau der Eigenversorgung der Familien in der Gemeinde Uyoma im Distrikt Rarieda am Viktoriasee. Uyoma und der Distrikt Rarieda zählen zu den ärmsten Regionen Kenias. Die zuverlässige und ausreichende Versorgung mit hygienisch einwandfreiem und bezahlbarem Trinkwasser wird als ein wesentlicher Schlüsselfaktor für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung der Region angesehen. Im Rahmen einer Master- Thesis [1] wurde projektbegleitend eine Bestandsaufnahme und Zustandsbewertung wesentlicher Elemente des Wasserversorgungssystems in Uyoma durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse der Abschlussarbeit verdeutlichen die elementaren Defizite des Systems, deren unmittelbaren Einfluss auf die Lebensverhältnisse der einheimischen Bevölkerung und die Notwendigkeit einer zeitnahen Verbesserung der heutigen Situation.
Dichtheitsprüfung in der Abwassertechnik nach DIN-Normen und dem Regelwerk der DWA
Authors: Straub Andrea , Bulle Helmut , Fichtner Nicole
Published: January 2022

Das Wasserhaushaltsgesetz (WHG) fordert, dass technische Vorrichtungen zum Transport, zur Behandlung und zur zeitweiligen Aufbewahrung (Sammelgruben) von Abwasser dicht sein müssen. Grundlage für die Dichtheitsprüfung von drucklosen Abwasserleitungen und -kanälen ist die DIN EN 1610. Die Dichtheitsprüfung kann mit Wasser oder dem Vergleichsmedium Luft erfolgen. Nach dem Prinzip der Gleichwertigkeit muss eine Dichtheitsprüfung unabhängig vom verwendeten Prüfverfahren zum gleichen Messergebnis führen. Dieses Kriterium erfüllen nur die Prüfverfahren des DWA-Arbeitsblattes A 139 und des DWA-Merkblattes M 149. Die Dichtheitsprüfung mit Wasser nach DIN EN 12566 führt für Behälter zu einem ungerechtfertigt hohen technischen Aufwand, hohen Kosten und einem großen relativen Messfehler. Bei den Prüfverfahren mit Luft nach DIN EN 12566 wird das Prinzip der Gleichwertigkeit in extremer Weise verletzt. Zudem werden im Unterschied zur Dichtheitsprüfung mit Wasser Leckagen zugelassen.
The Engagement Imperative: Experiences of Communication Practitioners’ Brand Work in the Music Industry
Authors: Edlom Jessica
Published: January 2022

Due to societal trends, such as digitalisation, platformisation, and active and co-creative audiences, new organisational practices have surfaced. This study examines how communication practitioners experience their changing work in a new communication environment in which participatory cultural norms are becoming standard in strategic communication. I argue that the requirements to produce audience engagement affect the communication work and the communication workers. This study uses the popular music industry as a case, and is based on interviews with communication practitioners as well as on the qualitative text analysis of reports and newsletters from the music marketing firm Music Ally to the music industry. The study shows that communication practitioners within the industry experience a duty to create audience engagement—an engagement imperative. Although the practitioners are highly skilled in digital communication and social media, they often see the development of digital promotional culture as a challenge and express a lack of a deeper understanding of engagement. This study highlights implications for their professional roles, competences, and identities as well as ethical implications regarding the exploitation of audiences in communication work.
EFEITO DA ESTRUTURA DE CAPITAL SOBRE DIFERENTES PERFIS DE RENTABILIDADE DAS EMPRESAS LISTADAS NA B3
Authors: Santos da Silva Marcos  Andrez , Ferreira Santos Gabriela , Pereira Antonio Gualberto , de Souza Bispo Jorge
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é investigar as relações entre a estrutura de capital e a rentabilidade das empresas listadas na B3 nos anos de 2011 a 2019. A partir de 1.940 observações, foram estimados três modelos econométricos por meio de regressões quantílicas e dados agrupados (POLS). Os resultados evidenciaram que o endividamento de curto prazo afeta positivamente a rentabilidade das empresas, com destaque para aquelas situadas no 1º quantil (menor rentabilidade) e 9º quantil (maior rentabilidade). Não foi identificado efeito estatisticamente significante dos endividamentos de longo prazo e total sobre a rentabilidade das empresas. Estes resultados contrariam a teoria da irrelevância da fonte de financiamento proposta por Modigliani e Miller (1958), entretanto, não é possível concluir que contrariam a proposição da teoria de Pecking Order, pois, não se examinou a existência de benefícios fiscais associados às escolhas de endividamento das empresas que compuseram a amostra. Ainda que inconclusiva para os efeitos do endividamento de longo prazo e total, esta pesquisa avança em relação aos estudos anteriores sobre esta temática ao aplicar um método de estimação ainda pouco explorado na literatura em Contabilidade e Finanças e que se mostrou aderente às características dos dados.

Published: January 2022

The gap between rich and poor has a great influence on the exploitation of “human capital”, in order to ensure livelihoods, improve living standards, and moreover towards equity in enjoying needs in everyday life. By analyzing, comparing and using mathematical statistics, the article assessing the gap between rich and poor the community population in the mountainous of Binh Dinh province based on the average income per capita\ month and is detailed into the criteria are the GINI coefficient, the standard “40%” and the gap 20% of the richest household quintile and 20% the poorest income. The assessment results show that the gap between rich and poor in the period 2010 - 2018 reaches a relatively fair level (according to World Bank - WB standards) and tends to increase. Moreover, through the method of uneven statistical grouping and scoring assessment, the local rich and poor differentiation is divided into 3 distinct groups. This is an important basis for the locality to implement action programs and policies to reduce poverty and stabilize livelihoods, contributing to improving living standards and limiting the the gap between rich and poor in the future.
Prevalence of mental health problems among adolescents in Vietnam: A systematic review from English publications
Authors: Nguyen Ngoc Quynh Anh
Published: January 2022

Mental disorders are prevalence among adolescents all over the world. However, very few information related to this area in Vietnam, where up to 20% of the total national population, have been published internationally. Therefore, this study sought for evidence of the incidence of mental disorders among Vietnamese adolescents from publications in English. The study searched for studies matching the selection criteria on online database systems and manually reviewed studies from bibliographies. A total of 2,643 studies were found. After eliminating ineligible studies, nine studies were used for analysis and evaluation. The results show that the prevalence of mental disorders among Vietnamese adolescents was quite high compared to the world. However, this number may be underestimated. Research provides evidence that there is an urgent need to develop programs and services to support mental health for this age group in Vietnam.

Authors: Tkhorzhevska Tetiana , Yakymynska Liubov , Salamatina Olga
Published: January 2022

An anthropological study of the state requires an understanding of everyday practices in human-state interaction. This study, which came about when state-imposed pandemic restrictions required that citizens go into quarantine, draws primarily from auto-ethnography. The conditions under a quarantine brought an end to well-established social practices, presenting a unique opportunity to study them. We explore the ways in which citizens construct the state, looking at citizens working in different institutions and attempting to access various services. This is done by evaluating the quarantine measures implemented by the state in an attempt to understand them.
Meteorological Drought Analysis for Helmand River Basin, Afghanistan
Authors: TAYFUR Gökmen , ALAMI Mohammad Musa
Published: January 2022

This study evaluates drought at Lashkargah, Farah, Adraskan, and Gardandiwal stations in Helmand River Basin (HRB) in Afghanistan to determine appropriate drought indices for the basin. Thirty seven years of monthly recorded precipitation data from 1979 to 2015 are employed with different drought index (DI) methods which include the Standardized Precipitation Index (Normal-SPI, Log-SPI, and Gamma-SPI), the Percent of Normal (PN), and the Deciles. All the methods are applied to the annual long term precipitation data. The log-SPI and the gamma-SPI predict extreme drought conditions, whereas, the normal-SPI determines wet and less dry conditions. The results emphasize that the PN and the Deciles methods predict more drought years in comparison to the SPI methods. The Deciles method shows longer period of extreme and severe drought than other methods. The five methods indicate various drought intensities in 1985, 1987, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 at all the stations. The extreme drought condition in 2001 at all the stations confirms to the recorded drought reports for the same region. It is noted that since the log-SPI and the gamma-SPI capture the historical extreme and severe drought periods successfully, these are recommended as the drought monitoring indices for Helmand River Basin.
An Analysis of the First Pillar of the CAP by Evaluating its Selected Indicators and Measuring its Impact on the Performance of Slovenian Agriculture over the Period 2014-2020
Authors: Golc Jernej , Turk Jernej , Prišenk Jernej
Published: January 2022

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has existed at the European Union level since 1962. Over the years, it has undergone various transformations, reforms and adjustments. By measuring the performance of the CAP implementation, the European Union has introduced a model for evaluating individual CAP measures by promoting a system of different
indicators which are, through various methods of data and information collection, mostly published annually, while their achieved values are reported to the public. Based on the evaluation of these data, it can be assessed how successfully the CAP influences individual agricultural industries within each country or region. Through its Resolution on the Strategic Guidelines for the Development of Slovenian Agriculture and Food Industry until 2020, Slovenia set its strategic objectives and its own tailored system of indicators for evaluation. Through the analysis of the First Pillar of the CAP, we want to assess the impact of the CAP on Slovenian agriculture in the 2014–2020 period based on the selected indicators, namely organic farming, indicators for the wine sector and two indicators of self-sufficiency assessment for the selected agricultural product – meat. The analysis of the results achieved may be used by decision makers as a basis for assessing the performance CAP measures and input information in the further development of appropriate CAP measures in the future. Obviously, the results are also accessible to the general public, with the possibility to assess the performance of CAP financial assets invested in individual targeted CAP measures and their achievements.
REALITAS JIWA SEBAGAI BASIS ONTO-EPISTEMOLOGI PENGALAMAN RELIGIUS
Authors: Muhammad Imandega
Published: January 2022

A religious experience in the neuroscience view is interpreted as a symptom of neurological disorders of the brain. The neuroscience view is one of the various views that deny the reality of religious experience. Through empirical research instruments, neuroscientists have found that the soul is identical to the brain, which means that every activity can be measured through the brain. This has implications for the experiences of the Prophets in receiving revelations as the result of brain disorders. This paper seeks to explain religious experience through its ontological basis, namely the existence of immaterial existence and the existence of the soul, as well as its epistemological basis, namely the performance of the faculty of knowledge, both of which cannot be separated. The research method used is descriptive-analytic with the philosophical approach of the soul of Al-Ḥikmah Muta’āliyah. The results of this study indicate that the Al-Ḥikmah Muta’āliyah which was founded by Mulla Ṣadrā proves the existence of the wujūd levels, including the soul, explaining the various levels of perception carried out by the soul corresponding to the various levels of existence. Ṣadrā thought can explain the concept of the soul as an immaterial substance that can perceive metaphysical objects as the emanation of God

Ao longo de décadas a pecuária brasileira experimentou um grande desenvolvimento nas áreas de nutrição, genética, manejo e em especial no que tange o bem-estar animal (BEA). Um fator que está inversamente relacionada ao BEA é a dor, no entanto a mensuração da dor ainda é um desafio para os produtores e pesquisadores, visto que os bovinos são estoicos e não demonstram sentimentos. Apesar disso, tem-se que a dor promove na saúde do animal diversos transtornos e como consequência pode ocasionar em uma experiência sensorial e emocional desagradável associada a injúria atual ou potencial. Dessa forma, o objetivo dessa revisão é apresentar os avanços e a importância de avaliar animais acometidos por algum tipo de injuria através de métodos e técnicas de identificação e mensuração da dor, além de sua possível influência no comportamento e bem-estar dos bovinos. Estudos nesse âmbito utilizam análises fisiológicas, hormonais e metabólicas, bem como marcadores específicos para dor, aliados a técnica de observação comportamental. Todavia não existe um método que leve em consideração a união de todos esses fatores para bovinos, indicando assim o quão importante é a busca por novos meios de diagnóstico que possam ser aplicados no campo. Um desses avanços se dá através de novas tecnologias para avaliar o comportamento animal, o qual prediz algum tipo de desconforto. Conclui-se que os avanços nesse quesito são constantes e têm sido realizadas através da avaliação comportamental, afim de promover qualidade e segurança dos produtos e consequentemente melhorar a produtividade, sustentabilidade e lucratividade do sistema produtivo.

Fundamentadas por princípios da Análise do discurso e da História Cultural da leitura, e interessadas nos discursos sobre a leitura, no que em geral se diz sobre essa prática, neste artigo, apresentamos um breve panorama histórico de uma técnica de leitura e de escrita de longa-duração, que consiste na leitura, seleção, destacamento, coleção e emprego dessas frases em outros textos. Na atualidade, multiplicam-se gêneros próprios da cultura digital que se valem dessa técnica e que se apresentam como o resultado da articulação de fragmentos de textos verbais, de imagens, de sons. Das “mensagens em powerpoint”, passando pelas “mensagens compartilhadas” aos “memes”, somos testemunhas dessa cultura do fragmento que tem uma história, que se inscreve em uma memória e que tem impacto sobre o modo como hoje lemos e escrevemos nossos textos. É esse breve panorama que aqui apresentamos.

Este artigo tem como objetivo o estudo da predicação nominal e locativa nos crioulos portugueses da Alta Guiné e nas línguas da África ocidental que têm sido referidas na literatura como línguas de substrato - Mandinka, Wolof e Temne - e/ou de adstrato - várias línguas atlânticas. Focar-nos-emos no estudo de três aspetos que caraterizam o sistema das cópulas dos crioulos da Alta Guiné: (i) a divisão entre predicação nominal e locativa, (ii) a predicação não-verbal e (iii) a predicação sem cópula. A comparação dos resultados nos crioulos da Alta Guiné e nas línguas que contribuíram para a sua formação e/ou para o seu subsequente desenvolvimento permitirá avaliar possíveis influências destas últimas na emergência do sistema predicativo destes crioulos. Resultados adicionais serão mostrar o nível de proximidade dos crioulos da Alta Guiné em relação ao seu sistema predicativo, e revelar possíveis semelhanças e diferenças entre as línguas atlânticas.
Highly aligned bacterial nanocellulose films obtained during natural biosynthesis
Authors: Murugarren Nerea , Roig-Sanchez Soledad , Anton-Sales Irene , Malandain Nanthilde , Xu Kai , Solano Eduardo , Reparaz Juan , Laromaine Anna
Published: January 2022

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is usually produced as films of randomly-organized highly pure cellulose nanofibers and its properties such as high water-holding capacity and porosity, tunable morphology, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility make it a unique material. As a result, BNC has attracted interest in the paper and food industry, biotechnology, photonics and optoelectronics. Ordered structures found in nature, as the reed leaf, and the potential properties appearing upon aligning polymers fibers (piezoelectricity, conductivity, optoelectronics, to name a few) inspired us to develop a straightforward method to achieve highly aligned BNC films (Herman’s order S-parameter of 0.85) benefiting from the natural bacteria biosynthesis and extrusion of the cellulosic fibers. We locally confined the bacteria at the bottom of a tube containing liquid culture media and statically incubated them for a few days. Due to the oxygen requirements of the bacteria and the water insolubility of BNC, cellulose nanofibers were synthesized in a single direction without entanglement, which allowed obtaining band-chain aligned BNC in the liquid phase. The obtained film is highly oriented within the total volume of the film, as shown by polarization-resolved second-harmonic generation signal (P-SHG) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). Additionally, we proved an increase of hydrophilicity, suitable to tissue engineering scaffolds as human fibroblasts successfully adhered and grew on it. Finally, we evaluate the thermal conductivity by two independent approaches, i.e. using the well-known 3ω-method, as well as through a recently developed contactless thermoreflectance approach, confirming a thermal conductivity of 1.63 W/mK in the direction of the aligned fibers in contrast with 0.3 W/mK in the perpendicular direction. The 5-fold increase in thermal conductivity of BNC in the parallel direction forecasts the potential of BNC-based devices outperforming some other natural polymer and synthetic materials.

Published: January 2022

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) contributes significantly to female infertility. Embryo quality affects pregnancy outcome. However, the factors that influence pregnancy outcomes in DOR patients are not well established. In this study, we analyzed the medical records of infertile women with DOR who underwent ART to reveal the possible correlation between clinical characteristics and embryo quality. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using 3390 medical record data on IVF cycles from Dalian Municipal Women and Children’s Medical Center (Group) from January 2015 to December 2020. The data was divided into poor-quality embryos group and high-quality embryos group according to the embryo status. We summarized the demographic and clinical characteristics (age, infertility years, infertility type, AFC, and BMI), medical history, reproductive hormone parameters (AMH, FSH, LH, PRL, and E2), and carbohydrate and lipid metabolic indexes (CHO, TG, LP, LDL, HDL, FINS, Glucose, and Hcy). To further evaluate the Hcy levels in patients with different embryo quality, we performe subgroup analysis. In order to further evaluate the Hcy levels of patients with different embryo quality, we conducted a subgroup analysis, which was divided into three subgroups: Hcy ≥15, 15> Hcy >8 and Hcy ≤8. A total of 1023patients with DOR were included in this study.Results: Of these, 483 cases were with high-quality embryos (the number of high quality embryo, number≥1), and 540 cases with poor-quality embryos (no high quality embryo, number=0). Demographic characteristics of the two groups were similar. However, the level of serum Hcy was significantly higher in the poor-quality embryo group compared with the high-quality embryo group (P < 0.05). In addition, the levels of serum AMH and PRL were statistically different between the two groups. Patients with serum Hcy ≥ 15 μmol/L were at higher risk of having poor-quality embryos (82.1%) compared to patients with serum Hcy less than 8 μmol/L (43.9%) and at 8~15 μmol/L (48.1%) (c2 =15.859, P < 0.001).Conclusion: The presented study demonstrated that high serum Hcy level is linked to poor-quality embryos. Moreover, Hcy coupled with age might be a sensitive marker for embryo quality after IVF.

Introduction: Wolman Disease (WD) is a rare disease caused by the absence of functional liposomal acid lipase (LAL) due to mutations in LIPA gene. It presents with organomegaly, malabsorption and adrenal calcifications. The presentations can resemble Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), the life threatening hyper-inflammatory disorder.Method: We present a 4.5-month-old boy with fever, icterus and hepatosplenomegaly who was treated according to presumed HLH disease. There are some case reports in the literature presenting patients with WD primarily diagnosed as HLH, which we discussed in this review.Results: The genetic analysis revealed after his demise was compatible with WD, introducing a novel mutation in LIPA gene: exon 4: NM_001127605: c. G353A (p.G118D), which converts the Glycine amino acid to Aspartic acid.Conclusions: Considering the similarities in presentation of WD and HLH, the patient’s life can be saved if special attention is paid to presenting features of a patient with suspected HLH, i.e., symptoms, finding on physical exams, laboratory values and radiologic findings, and the proper treatment is urgently initiated. Reporting the novel mutations of WD can help geneticists interpret the results of their patients’ genetic studies appropriately, leading to correct diagnosis and treatment.

Published: January 2022

Surface Plasmon resonance-based sensors are one of the most accurate detectors of chemical and biochemical components in microfluidic structures performed based on changes in the refractive index of the medium adjacent to the sensor surface. Precise adjustment of the excitation angle and occupation volume of one kinds of such sensors are among their highlighted challenges that come from conventional light coupling technique. In this paper, a novel idea for designing this type of sensor in microsystem technology is devised, which is capable of adjusting the angle of optical excitation using the thermal-optical effect while it has the minimum occupied volume. This design is optimized and validated using finite element method, so that the sensor performance in exchange for changes in parameters such as Refractive Index, metal Thickness, etc. is examined and displayed in the form of tables and graphs. Simulation results reveal that the proposed model is able to tune optical excitation angle such accurate that the SPR phenomenon occurs at an angle of 21.21˚at the outer boundary of 42 nm thick of gold layer at its best.

Objectives: The treatment for superior mesenteric artery (SMA) embolism is controversial because of the low prevalence of this disease. This study aimed to examine the treatment options for SMA embolism.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of twenty patients with SMA embolisms at the Toyohashi Municipal Hospital from April 2010 to March 2020. Clinical characteristics, findings, treatment and outcomes were evaluated.Results: The overall median age of the patients was 80 years old. In 16 cases, the obstructed regions of the SMA were proximal to the ileocecal artery (ICA) bifurcation. Nine cases had pneumatosis intestinalis (PI). Two patients underwent surgery, twelve patients received endovascular intervention (EI) and four patients received heparin treatment. Five patients died in the hospital. A comparative study of the outcomes after EI showed that the nonsurvivor group had a significantly higher rate of PI than the survivor group (P = 0.046). The patients that had obstructions proximal to the ICA bifurcation and the presence of PI had a high mortality rate of 60% after EI.Conclusions: Determining if there is the presence of PI and finding the obstructed region of the SMA are useful for evaluating the appropriate treatment for SMA embolisms.

The influence of the plasmonic of three spherical metal nanoparticles (MNPs) on the semiconductor quantum dot (SQD) having three external fields, is analyzed. The density matrix equations are modified for the description of the optical properties of the SQD-MNPs nanosystem. We study theoretically the role of the plasmon-exciton dipole coupling in the SQD-MNPs nanosystem. We investigate the dependence of the plasmon-exciton dipole coupling of the SQD-MNPs nanosystem on the position of three spherical MNPs with respect to SQD as well as on the material parameters of the hybrid nanosystem. The direction and detunings of the three external fields play an important role on the characterization of the SQD-MNPs nanosystem.

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) involves artificial activation of skeletal muscles to reinstate motor function in paralyzed individuals. While FES applied to the upper limb has improved the ability of tetraplegics to perform activities of daily living, there are key shortcomings impeding its widespread use. One major limitation is that the range of motor behaviors that can be generated is restricted to a small set of simple, preprogrammed movements. This limitation stems from the substantial difficulty in determining the patterns of stimulation across many muscles required to produce more complex movements. Here we show that machine learning can be used to flexibly identify patterns of muscle stimulation needed to evoke a wide array of multi-joint arm movements. Those patterns were delivered concurrently to 29 upper limb muscles in temporarily paralyzed monkeys. In some cases, the evoked responses matched the desired movements with good fidelity. Because the range of movements that can be produced is virtually unlimited, this approach could greatly expand the repertoire of movements available to individuals with high level paralysis.

Metal bending tube is widely used in industry while its forming defects extremely affect the bending quality. Among all defects, the bending-inside wrinkling caused by the non-uniform compressive stress is a zero-tolerated defect, particularly when the tube is for transportation. However, the current wrinkling detection approach, suffering from the lack of insight into wrinkling mechanism, is normally posteriori. To obtain the priori wrinkling condition for a certain go-to-bend tube, we put forward a metal tube bending wrinkling hierarchical prediction method based on hybrid-kernel Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) Support Vector Machine (SVM). Three typical kernel combinations are utilized for the GWO-SVM prediction model. To verify the proposed wrinkling prediction method, aluminum alloy series tubes are tested. By constructing the 12 typical designations aluminum alloy tubes’ finite element bending simulation case base, the prediction model is trained through three hybrid-kernel GWO-SVMs, respectively. The results are compared with the traditional SVM and GWO-SVM, which show that the proposed hybrid-kernel GWO SVM model has the best performance for hierarchically predicting bending wrinkling. This proposed prediction method lays the foundation for metal tube bending wrinkling detection.
Earth Without Life 2: A Global Network Model of Abiotic Phosphorus Cycling on Earth Through Time

Phosphorus (P) is a crucial structural and bioenergetic component of living systems. P cycles through terrestrial geochemical reservoirs via complex physical and chemical processes. Terrestrial life has altered the fluxes between these reservoirs as it evolved, thus it is of interest to explore planetary P flux evolution in the absence of biology. This is especially true since environmental P availability may have influenced the emergence of life on Earth, and affected life’s ability to alter other geochemical cycles, and these processes may be common to other planets. Geochemical P fluxes likely change as planets evolve, and element cycling models that take those changes into account can provide insights on how P fluxes evolve abiotically. There is considerable uncertainty in many aspects of modern and historical global P cycling, including Earth’s initial P endowment and distribution after differentiation and how P interactions between reservoirs and fluxes have evolved over time. We present here a user-configurable dynamical box model for Earth’s abiological P evolution. This model suggests that in the absence of biology, long term planetary geochemical cycling on planets similar to Earth tend to bring P to surface reservoirs, while biology tends to move P to subductable marine reservoirs.

As the severity of extreme precipitation events increases with global climate change, so will episodic pulses of contamination into lotic systems. Periphytic algae represent bioindicator species in most freshwater systems due to their rapid accumulation of toxicants, therefore, it is vital to understand how accumulation differs across temporally variable exposure regimes. This ability to rapidly accrue contaminants additionally has implications for the trophic transfer of metals to primary consumers. While dietary toxicity has been studied in algivorous consumers, techniques used to prepare contaminated periphytic algae for consumption have not been compared. This study used a modified subcellular fractionation method to compare the partitioning of Zinc (Zn) in periphyton cultures exposed for variable durations (cultured in the presence of Zn and 15 min, 24 hr, and 48 hr exposures). Three exposure groups were additionally depurated over a period of 24 hr in order to compare retention of Zn; an important aspect of preparing diets used in dietary toxicity studies. Results not only provide evidence for increased retention by periphytic algae cultured in the presence of Zn but reveal relationships among treatments and subcellular partitioning that suggest time-dependent accumulation and detoxification. These relationships ultimately suggest that episodic exposure of periphytic algae to contaminants may pose a greater risk than that of chronic regimes. Based on these results, we additionally advocate for the culturing of periphytic algae in the presence of contamination in order to produce a more reliable diet for dietary exposure testing in algivorous organisms.
