Authors: Dumitru Cristina , Zamfirache Florin , Trimbitas Adina , Radu Beatrice Mihaela
Published: December 2024

Sleep deprivation has shown promise in rapidly alleviating depression symptoms without adverse effects, its impact on memory remains unclear, especially in depressed individuals. The study investigates the effects of total sleep deprivation on depression symptomatology and memory in aged rats with induced depression. The experiments were carried out on 8 adult male Sprague Dawley rats. A depression model was induced using the chronic retention stress paradigm. Total Sleep Deprivation was achieved using the “gentle handling” procedure. Behavioral tests, including the open field test, Y-maze, and novel object recognition test, were conducted to assess locomotor activity, spatial working memory, object recognition memory and depressive symptomatology. Sleep deprivation resulted in an initial increase in locomotor activity and exploration behaviors across different experimental setups. This heightened activity tended to normalize over time, suggesting a transient response to the lack of sleep. However, the total time spent in these zones was not significantly different from controls, suggesting that the fundamental engagement with the environment might remain intact despite altered entry behaviors. This suggests that the cognitive components of these behaviors may be resilient to short-term sleep loss. Overall, these findings suggest that the role of sleep is facilitating rather than essential in memory.

Authors: Xie Xuhui , Xu Xiwen , Jin Guogang
Published: December 2024

With the development of teaching models in the engineering field, traditional teaching methods are increasingly inadequate to meet the practical needs of engineering courses, especially in the "Engineering Deformation Monitoring" course. This paper explores the "Project-Driven + Immersive" deep integration teaching model, which combines project-based learning (PBL) and immersive technologies to enhance students’ practical skills and innovative thinking. The project-driven approach emphasizes task orientation and practicality, helping students address real monitoring problems; immersive technology, using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), offers an immersive learning experience that enhances students’ understanding of the monitoring process. Through the deep integration of these two models, students not only improve their ability to combine theory with practice, but also enhance their innovative problem-solving skills in engineering. This paper provides a new teaching model and implementation pathway for engineering discipline education reform.

Published: December 2024

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the combination of Astragalus and Angelica on cognitive and memory functions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model mice. Male ICR mice were divided into six groups: normal control, positive control (donepezil hydrochloride), model, and treatment groups (high, medium, and low doses of Astragalus-Angelica decoction), with six mice in each group. The AD model was established by administering D-galactose and sodium nitrite. Starting from the third week of modeling, the treatment groups received intragastric administration of 80, 40, and 20 mg/kg Astragalus-Angelica decoction, respectively, while the positive control group received 0.65 mg/kg donepezil hydrochloride via intragastric administration. On day 46 of the experiment, spontaneous alternation rate, novel object preference index, organ indices (brain, thymus, and spleen), malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in the hippocampus were measured. Results showed that, compared to the model group, the spontaneous alternation rates and novel object preference indices in all treatment groups were significantly increased (P<0.05), hippocampal MDA levels were significantly reduced (P<0.01), and SOD and GSH-Px activities were elevated (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in organ indices (P>0.05). These findings indicate that the Astragalus-Angelica decoction significantly improves impaired cognitive and memory functions in AD model mice, potentially through mechanisms involving enhanced antioxidant capacity in the hippocampus and mitigation of cellular aging.

TeraHertz Vibrations and Phono-Fission Reactions from Crushing of Iron-rich Natural Rocks
Authors: Carpinteri Alberto , Borla Oscar , Lucia Umberto , Zucchetti Massimo
Published: December 2024

Brittle crushing of iron-rich natural rocks was demonstrated to produce neutron emission, sometimes orders of magnitude larger than the environmental background. Chemical composition changes and a global ponderal equivalence, respecting atomic weight and atomic number balances, were observed. Phonons and plasmons induced by brittle crushing, if sufficiently energetic and resonant with the atomic lattice, may split the nucleus into different fragments and neutrons. It is relevant to emphasize how the earth’s crust evolution from basaltic to sialic can be consistently explained by these experimental data and theoretical assumptions when applied to tectonics.
Synthesis of Silicon in the Interaction of Aluminum With a Quasi-Neutron and Estimation of the Contribution of the Aluminum Hydride Complex

Published: December 2024

Among the nuclear fusion reactions of new elements, the simplest reaction refers to the capture of a proton p by the nucleus of the original element ZXA with the formation of the Z + 1YA+1 nucleus (Z and A are the charge and mass number of the element X). In the case of cold fusion, the occurrence of such a reaction is associated with the existence of quasi-neutron (p + e) states in which the proton is “escorted” by the electron e: ZXA + (p + e) ! Z + 1YA+1 + e. For example the synthesis of zinc from copper was established. It is important to note that the ratios of the proportions of synthesized isotopes in most cases should differ significantly from natural ratios, which would certainly confirm their artificial origin. The data of preliminary mass spectrometric measurements for the synthesis of zinc from copper, gallium from zinc, and rhenium from tungsten are consistent with this conclusion. However, for relatively heavy elements, the masses of daughter atoms with Z + 1YA+1 nuclei are difficult to distinguish from the masses of hydride complexes of parent atoms with ZXA nuclei and hydrogen atoms H formed in the course of mass spectrometric measurements. In this regard, the problem of estimating the contributions of daughter atoms and hydride complexes is topical. The solution of this problem was carried out for the case of silicon synthesis from aluminum. In an air environment with water vapor, an electric arc was ignited between an aluminum anode and a tungsten cathode. Aluminum has one stable isotope 13Al27; therefore, the synthesis of only one of the three stable silicon isotopes 14Si28 was expected, which was observed in the mass spectrum of the powder formed on the anode surface (peak at ⇡ 27.977 a.m.u.). The AlH complex corresponds to a peak at ⇡ 27.989 a.m.u. This peak has a height approximately 2.5 times less than the height of the peak for the mass distribution of silicon atoms. Thus, the relatively low intensity for the mass distribution of the AlH complex suggests that it is the isotope ratios of the synthesized daughter nuclei that make the main contributions to the observed isotope mass ratios in the cases of parent atoms having several stable isotopes.
Scaling up the Lattice Energy Converter
Authors: Gordon F. E. , Whitehouse H. J.
Published: December 2024

Multiple Lattice Energy Conversion (LEC) devices and configurations have experimentally demonstrated the ability to self- initiate and self-sustain the production of a voltage and current through an external load impedance without the use of naturally radioactive materials. These results have been reported by the authors [1], [2], [3], [4] and replicated by independent researchers [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. A video, [10] shows that a voltmeter and a resistance substitution box are all that is required to observe and measure LEC output which for this test produced several hundred nanowatts of power per square centimeter of working electrode surface area. Given the extraordinary nature of the LEC results, the importance of independent replications by multiple credible and respected scientists cannot be overstated. While the ability to self-initiate and self-sustain the production of a voltage and current through a load is a significant innovation, present experimental power densities are typically in the range of a few microwatts per square centimeter, output must be scaled up by 6 orders of magnitude to produce a few watts, and by 9 orders of magnitude to produce a few kilowatts. Based on a review of the literature and an analysis of experimental results, five focus areas have been identified to scale up the LEC. This paper examines each focus area and identifies possible actions to increase LEC power output.
Possibility of Coherent LENR Dynamics with Nuclear Molecules
Authors: Hagelstein Peter L.
Published: December 2024

xcess heat in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment is generated without commensurate energetic nuclear particle emission, which has often been used to argue that the effect is not nuclear. Instead, we have argued that a better interpretation is that excess heat is not a result of quantum mechanically incoherent processes. For many years we have pursued quantum mechanically coherent models in which excess heat production is a byproduct of an underlying coherent nuclear process, of which fusion is a part of. A major difficulty with this approach has always been an inability to identify reasonably stable excited nuclear states that might support the required coherent nuclear dynamics, since only a modest number of metastable nuclei are known among all the stable isotopes. Here is proposed that nuclear molecules may provide a set of reasonably stable nuclear excited states. We use a simple cluster model based on the finite range liquid drop model to estimate excited state energies for nuclear molecules from the stable Pd isotopes. The highest density of states occurs near 50 MeV. A model is proposed in which generalized excitation transfer moves population to the high density of state region where efficient energy exchange with the lattice can occur. Excess heat is proposed to occur through a cycle in which excitation is promoted, where energy exchange occurs, followed by a multi-step return to the ground state. If this process is frustrated, then tunneling decay of highly-excited nuclear molecules results in transmutation.

Published: December 2024

A highly efficient Water P lasma Vortex R eactor ( PVR-W) w as d esigned, m anufactured a nd t ested f or t he fi rst ti me [1 ]. The groundwork obtained in plasma aerodynamics, plasma-assisted combustion and LENR physics in our Centre was used in the design of this reactor. This work is a continuation of the previous research [2]–[5]. Pulsed repetitive electric discharge was created inside an argon cavity in swirl water flow in the PVR-W. Electrodes made of clean nickel, copper (99,99% and other metals) were used in this reactor. Double-distilled water was used in our experiment. It was revealed that there is an optimal operating regime of this PVR-W reactor with a high value COP ⇠ 2 - 10. Extra heat power in this operating regime was about 2-10 kW. Self-sustained relaxation oscillations of current and voltage were obtained in this stable operation regime. It was revealed that there are many new transmuted chemical elements in the water sediment after plasma experiments. Both light chemical transmuted elements (such as carbon, aluminium, silicon, sulphur and others) and heavy elements (such as copper, zinc, iron and others) were found in the sediment sample. Chemical analysis of these sediment dust particles was carried out by the EDS method and the optical spectroscopy method. In this paper, experimental results on the direct extraction of electrical power from a heterogeneous plasmoid created by a pulsed repetitive electric discharge in the PVR are also discussed.

A LENR Solution for Fundamental Mysteries of the Solar Corona (Anomalously High Temperature and Anomalous He3 Concentration)
Authors: Vysotskii V. I. , Vysotskyy M. V. , Bartalucci Sergio
Published: December 2024

The features and the method for solving of two fundamental problems of astrophysics are considered: the anomalously high temperature of the solar corona above the surface of the Sun, which is 200 times higher than the temperature of the surface itself, as well as the anomalously high concentration of the He3 isotope (compared to He4) in this region. It is shown that both of these effects are associated with the implementation of LENR in a low-temperature magnetized plasma in the solar atmosphere due to the self-similar formation of coherent correlated states and the generation of giant particle energy fluctuations in this region.
Thoughts on a Model of Vysotskii and Vysotskyy
Authors: Hagelstein Peter L.
Published: December 2024

Motivated by the recent proposal of Vysotstkii and Vysotskyy of the possibility of correlated coherent state evolution of an ion wave function in a low density magnetized plasma leading to low energy nuclear reactions, we have considered the construction of a dynamical squeezed state wave packet solution for a particle with a dynamic charge in a constant magnetic field. For a z- directed magnetic field, the dynamics simplify if the wave packet is constructed to have the same dynamics in x and y. From the solution developed, evolution equations are obtained for the first and second moments. In the case of the first moments, the dynamics that result are Newton’s laws for a particle in a magnetic field. The second moments evolve according to what would be expected for a squeezed state solution, except that the breathing frequency is reduced by a factor of two. The uncertainty product for the squeezed state is a Schrodinger-Robertson relation. The amount of squeezing required for the fluctuation energy to be sufficient to result in nuclear reactions is extremely large, and such a wave packet would be quite fragile in the sense that collisions with other particles would prevent organized “breathing” mode evolution except at very low plasma density. Following the proposal of Vysotskii and Vysotskyy, we constructed generalization of the squeezed state wave packet in which an excited state SHO eigenfunction is squeezed, and find that the evolution of the squeezing parameters is similar as for a squeezed state solution. The uncertainty principle is of the form of the Schrodinger-Robertson relation, but with a prefactor that substantially increases the uncertainty. An issue that was identified in the proposed scheme is localization associated with electron ionization and recombination that has the potential to spoil the delocalization and phase of the wave packet. It is noted that in a minor modification of the scheme non-classical energy exchange may be possible for charged particles traveling through a dynamic and spatially inhomogeneous magnetic field, as long as the changes in the field as seen by the particle are non-adiabatic relative to the squeezing dynamics.
Deuteron Cluster Fusion and ASH
Authors: Takahashi Akito
Published: December 2024

This is a review of our studies on theoretical model of deuteron cluster fusion in condensed matter. Considering a transient condensation process of deuteron-cluster in focal points of metal–deuteride lattice, electron screening effect was theorized by the Electronic Quasi-Particle Screening Theory (EQPET) model for a transient deuteron cluster associating attracted electrons. Multi- body resonance fusion of deuterons was proposed by modeling charged-pion exchange for strong interaction in very condensed deuteron cluster to lead to select the tetrahedral resonance fusion (TRF) of 4D and octahedral resonance fusion (ORF) of 8D as possible major reaction channels in extreme case. 4He is the final product of TRF and ORF. Tritium and 3He was suggested as minor products from 3D multi-body fusion. Visible but very small level production of neutron by D + D (2D) fusion was also concluded. Further extension of EQPET model is given to propose a dynamic Bose-type condensation process by orthogonally coupled two D2 molecules, which play a role of super screening of Coulomb barrier with quadruplet electronic quasi-particle to generate clean fusion product of 4He.
Secondary Neutron Yield in the Presence of Energetic Alpha Particles in PdD
Authors: Hagelstein Peter L.
Published: December 2024

It has been proposed that energy can be released in the Fleischmann–Pons experiment as energetic alpha particles in aneutronic fusion reactions. In this scenario, the energetic alpha particles could be “hidden” since they have a relatively short range in PdD. We evaluate the yield of secondary neutrons which result from deuteron–deuteron fusion reactions from energetic deuterons produced in collisions with energetic alpha particles.

Hundeassisteret psykoterapi

Published: December 2024

Nogle psykologer inddrager dyr i deres terapeutiske praksis. Idéen er ikke knyttet til en bestemt terapiform, men anvendes som en udvidelse af repertoiret i den tilgang, terapeuten i øvrigt benytter. Litteratur fra andre lande beskriver inddragelse af dyr i klassiske tilgange såsom psykodynamisk, klientcentreret og kognitivt-adfærdsterapeutisk terapi, og der findes studier af, hvad erfarne praktikere anbefaler og efterlyser. Derimod er det ikke tidligere undersøgt, hvordan danske psykologer oplever inddragelse af dyr i deres terapi. For at belyse dette foretog vi et interviewstudie med fire danske psykologer, der har erfaring med hunde i terapirummet. Vi spurgte, hvordan og på hvilket grundlag de inddrager hunden i terapien, hvad de oplever, at hunden bidrager med, og hvilke udfordringer de ser. De interviewede fortalte fortrinsvis om terapi med børn og unge, og de gav eksempler på direkte og indirekte måder, hvorpå hunden kunne inddrages. På tværs af terapeutiske tilgange (kognitive, socialpsykologiske og narrative) sås temaer som beroligelse, motivation og styrkelse af den terapeutiske alliance som mulige effekter af hundens tilstedeværelse. Artiklen diskuterer studiets hovedresultater i forhold til den internationale litteratur på området og kommer også ind på forbehold og forhold, der bør tages højde for, hvis man vil inddrage en hund sit psykoterapeutiske arbejde.

Hesteassisterede interventioner anvendes i stigende grad med formålet at fremme menneskers fysiske, psykiske og sociale trivsel, udvikling, recovery og rehabilitering. I denne artikel beskrives og argumenteres for en ræsonneringsmodel som analytisk redskab til anvendelse i praksis i forbindelse med hesteassisterede interventioner, hvor det kan være vanskeligt at overskue kompleksiteten i den interaktion og kommunikation, der foregår i samspillet mellem deltager, hest og fagprofessionelle i en given kontekst. Modellen bygger på praksiserfaringer gennem en årrække primært i socialpsykiatrisk regi, hvor vi har udviklet modellen for at fremme målrettet og fagligt kvalificeret indsats, samt i forbindelse med dokumentation og kvalitetssikring. Forfatternes systemteoretiske afsæt kombineret med psykodynamisk og socialpædagogisk forståelsesramme gør modellen anvendelig i en lang række sammenhænge, hvor der arbejdes med hesteassisteret intervention. Artiklen afsluttes med en case, der illustrerer, hvorledes modellen kan anvendes i praksis.
Når rener er selve livet
Authors: Anderson Sally Dean
Published: December 2024

Denne artikel undersøger relationer mellem rensdyr og de mennesker, der lever med og af dem, med fokus på ren-pastoralismei Sápmi. På samisk kaldes en renflok for eallu. Betegnelsen udledes af samme rod som eallin (liv) og eallit (at leve). Artiklen udforsker ren-samernes liv (eallin) med renerne (eallu) og de mange indbyrdes afhængige relationer, dette liv fordrer mellem familier, generationer, landskaber, dyr, vejr, årstider, naboflokke, forfædre og en åndelig verden. Der argumenteres for, at renhyrdernes kontinuerlige forhandlinger med semidomesticerede rener med deres egen vilje kan forstås som en form for udvidet socialitet (Remme & Sillander, 2017), der er konstituerende for mennesker, dyr og landskaber. Der argumenteres også for, at det symbiotiske partnerskab, som udvikledes mellem mennesker og rener gennem flere århundreder, kan begribes med Sahlins (2011) forståelse af forbundethed som en gensidig væren mellem dem – her mennesker og dyr – der deltager i hinandens eksistens. Artiklen kommer også ind på de etiske og æstetiske dimensioner of denne gensidige væren.

Metasurfaces have the characteristics of simple structure, easy fabrication, easy integration, etc., and can flexibly control electromagnetic waves. They are widely used in terahertz filters, lenses, polarization converters, wavefront adjustment and terahertz imaging and so on. By encoding and arranging unit cells with different amplitudes and phases according to a certain rule, the metasurfaces can achieve various functions such as imaging, focusing, beam splitting, and vortex beam. The reported coding metasurfaces are phase-modulated according to geometric phase or transmission phase theory. However, geometric phase has spin-locking property and transmission phase has single-frequency property, which hinder the applications of a unified metasurface in simultaneously regulating geometric phase and transmission phase.

To address the above issues, in this work, we propose an radian and rotation co-induced phase modulation metasurface, whose unit cell independently modulates the cross-polarized reflection phases of LCP wave and RCP wave and has a certain bandwidth, which meets therequirement in a frequency region of 1–1.2 THz. Through the principle of phase convolution and shared aperture, the metasurface realizes the vortex beams with a topological charge of ±1, focusing with a focal length of 1500 μm, the deflected vortex beams with a topological charge of ±2, the quasi-perfect vortex beams, and the multichannel vortex beams. The structure has the advantages of simple structure, flexible and convenient regulation, and compact size, which improves the utilization of the electromagnetic space and has a broad application prospect in the future terahertz communication systems.

Feral pigs are threaten biodiversity in 54 countries worldwide, and cause an estimated $120 billion of damage annually in the US. Feral pigs imperil over 600 native species, and have directly driven 14 species to extinction. Moreover, feral pig populations pose a significant zoonotic disease threat to humans such as Japanese encephalitis, and act as reservoir for endemic pathogens such as
Brucella
and leptospirosis. Efforts to understand and control disease spread by feral pigs rely on models of social dynamics - how the animals interact with one another. Yet social dynamics are known to vary enormously from place to place, so knowledge generated in one location might not easily transfer.Here we fill a continental gap in our understanding of feral pig social dynamics by developing a proximity-based social network analysis approach to rapidly assess social interactions using animal tracking data. This method, applied to the continent of Australia, included 146 GPS-monitored feral pigs and revealed distinct patterns influenced by sex and season, with females demonstrating higher group cohesion and males acting as crucial connectors between independent groups. Contact rates are very high within groups, indicating rapid intra-group disease spread that contrasts with much slower potential for inter-group disease spread. Seasonal variations further complicate this dynamic, with contact rates being much higher in summer. The results show that, in Australia, targeting adult males in feral pig control programs could enhance efforts to contain disease outbreaks.Concern over the economic and human health impacts of animal diseases is higher than ever before. We urge a rapid global effort to use models of feral pig social interactions to develop efficient control strategies tailored to local conditions.

Background: Research has examined a range of impacts of women’s drinking on children. However, fewer studies have addressed the consequences of men’s heavy drinking on children. This review aims to identify and describe the types of behaviours and actions that arise from men's drinking and are likely to cause harm to children and to identify and describe the types of harms that children experience that stem from men's drinking.
Methods: Review articles from 1990 to September 2023 were included. Four health and social databases were searched for reviews that included terms relating to men, alcohol consumption, and child harms. From 1,873 identified articles, 19 articles met the criteria for inclusion.  
Results: Four broad topics were identified: relationships and families; violence and maltreatment; and health, social and education outcomes for children. Children may experience both direct and indirect harms associated with men’s drinking. The former includes examples where men’s drinking was linked to disinhibition, aggression, and physical assault. In the latter, men were absent resulting in being unavailable emotionally due to drinking. Internalising and externalising behaviours were common outcomes for children exposed to men’s drinking. Contextual factors such as poverty, cultural norms and patriarchal influences were interrelated and sometimes exacerbated harm to children from men’s drinking.
Conclusions: This review highlights the immediate and longer-lasting consequences of men’s drinking for children, including family conflict, maltreatment, and emotional distress. Future studies should address gender disparities and consider the social factors present in cases where children are exposed to men’s drinking.
