Published: October 2023

Challenges associated with transmitter node during the process of intelligent transceiver nodes attempting to be active state after receiving a message outside its time slot schedule which might result in energy depletion through receiver node are the most notable origin of excessive energy consumption in the system. Various methods have been carried out to minimize the overhead cost. In this article, we presented the Dynamic Network using Adaptive Wake-Up Interval Media Access Control (MAC) protocol for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for telemedicine which could lead to the minimization of the energy consumption in the network and maximization of network lifetime. A Receiver Controlled mechanism balances the number of wake-up periods between Receiver node and Transmitter nodes and estimation of traffic load. This article depicts no earlier examination of dynamic network using Flexible Active-Mode period scheme-based media access control protocol for WBAN. Therefore, this review work could lead to the improvement of dynamic network Flexible Active-Mode –media access control protocols and invigorate a clearer way of finding AWI-Media Access Control protocol problems.
Improvement in the Reinforced Concrete Beam with Embedded Polystyrene under Static Load
Authors: Tat Lim Yong , Ling Jen Hua , Sia How Teck , Kam Leong Wen , Sheng Ngu Joseph Toh
Published: October 2023

Reinforced concrete beam is normally used as a skeletal frame to withstand the loads on the building. However, a long-span beam requires a larger beam section due to the concerns of excessive deflection and failure. Under such circumstances, a large portion of beam strength is used to sustain its own weight which is uneconomical. This problem could be overcome by reducing some portions of concrete using lightweight materials like polystyrene. The replacement should technically be applied without affecting the structural performance of the beam. This study aimed to develop an optimum design of lightweight beam by incorporating polystyrene in the conventional reinforced concrete beam. The specimens were tested with a static load using the four-point load test in order to investigate the behaviour of the beam. The effects of the parameters, such as the spacing of the polystyrene, and the amount of reinforcements were observed. The performance of the beams was evaluated in terms of the ultimate load, strength to weight ratio (s-w ratio), ductility, and failure mechanism. The results show that the lightweight beam, with 11.8% concrete replacement, outperformed the conventional beam by 47% to 61%, in terms of the s-w ratio.
Webtoon Pupus Dropout of School as Educational Media of Gender Equality for Young Generation
Authors: Karnita Rosa , Satub Nanda Pitria , Kusuma Fitria Angga
Published: October 2023

Gender is a concept that identifies differences between men and women. Along with social and cultural developments from time to time, gender limitations must not be complicated in carrying out work or activities. Both men and women can have rights and obligations regarding gender equality. However, Indonesia is still the lowest country viewing gender equality because patriarchal culture is still inherent in some circles of society. The role of the young generation is needed to increase awareness of gender equality in the modern era. The proximity of the young age to gadgets and technology makes webtoon a platform that can educate readers because it is easy to access and free of charge. The Pupus Putus Sekolah (Pupus Dropout) webtoon can be a medium for educating messages about gender equality through its characters, so it is hoped that awareness of gender equality will increase.

Published: October 2023

We present the characteristics and mechanical strength of rGO-AgNPs nanocomposites in PLA-based 3D printing. The nanocomposites are characterized using X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD spectrum reveals diffraction peaks at 38.14°, 44.30°, 64.50°, and 77.42°, corresponding to the (111), (200), (220), and (3111) planes of the Ag crystals, respectively. Surface observations under the microscope for pure PLA and PLA rGO-AgNPs showed that the surfaces of the samples were uniformly distributed. The results of 3D printing indicated that the 0.10 g rGO-AgNPs nanocomposite particles were evenly distributed, although digital microscopy confirmed the presence of a few small particles that were not uniformly distributed. Tensile tests demonstrated that rGO-AgNPs exhibited higher tensile strength compared to pure PLA. Tensile strength increased as the quantity of rGO-AgNPs decreased. Young's modulus results, ranging from pure PLA to rGO-AgNPs, consistently showed an increase, with the highest Young's modulus measuring 7624.45 kPa. Therefore, specimens containing rGO-AgNPs displayed a greater modulus than others, indicating that rGO-AgNPs enhanced the mechanical properties of PLA-based 3D printing.
Demonstrating long-term stable optical coupling between single-mode optical fibers and well-defined energy photons emitted from nitrogen impurity centers in GaAs flakes
Authors: Ishida Takayuki , Sakuma Yoshiki , Ikezawa Michio
Published: October 2023

A key challenge in realizing scalable optical quantum information technology is not only to obtain stable single photons coupled to single-mode fibers but also to match the emission energy between remote emitters. We have fabricated an energy-matching favorable and long-term stable structure by coupling a nitrogen impurity center with a well-defined emission energy to a single-mode optical fiber core. The nitrogen-doped GaAs microflakes sandwiched between the two FC (acronym for "ferrule connector" or "fiber channel") connectors yielded sharp emission peaks due to nitrogen isoelectronic traps. Although some emitters showed spectral diffusion, the unaffected emitters showed stable emission and were able to generate photons stably for over 20 h continuously without photodegradation. In addition, the photoluminescence spectrum does not change in shape and intensity after more than 3 years, indicating that the photon source with this structure is resistant to thermal cycling and positional drift and has excellent long-term stability.

Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos das práticas meditativas que envolvem posturas físicas, respiração, uso de som, visualização, e práticas de relaxamento como parte da terapêutica para controle e melhora das dores crônicas . Método: Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura nas bases de dados Medline, Science Direct, Pubmed e Scielo, tendo como período de referência os últimos 15 anos. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram “ioga” e “dores crônicas” e suas correspondentes em inglês, “Yoga” e “chronic pain”, isolados ou de forma combinada, sem delimitar um intervalo temporal. Resultados: Um número crescente de estudos científicos tem demonstrado a melhora de questões físicas, mentais, emocionais, espirituais e relacionais da prática de ioga e suas técnicas isoladas RM indivíduos com diferentes condições de saúde. Houve redução de ansiedade e de estresse, bem como melhora da atenção plena, da função executiva, humor, estado emocional, autocompaixão e saúde mental geral. Considerações Finais: As evidências em literatura vêm demonstrando que a dor crônica não é unifatorial, mas associada a comorbidades que acabam levando a inúmeras patologias e interferência na qualidade de vida. A ioga oferece vários benefícios para controle da dor, remodelação e fortalecimento do corpo e da psique. Portanto, a ioga pode ser uma terapia complementar benéfica para o manejo de dores crônicas, embora sejam necessários mais estudos e mais evidências na prática clínica.

Published: October 2023

A intubação orotraqueal e a traqueostomia são procedimentos recorrentes em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI) sendo assim, é importante conhecer o desfecho da evolução da dieta oral após esses procedimentos. Foi realizado um estudo de coorte quantitativo e qualitativo com dados retrospectivos com informações coletadas por conveniência nas fichas do setor de Nutrição e de Fonoaudiologia do Hospital Regional de Cacoal – RO. O projeto recebeu aprovação do CEP sob o parecer nº6.038.523. Dos 464 pacientes admitidos em um período de 150 dias, 28 foram incluídos no estudo final, sendo 14 homens e 14 mulheres com idades entre 16 e 83 anos, dos quais 22 passaram pela intubação orotraqueal e 6 pela traqueostomia. Ao serem avaliados pela equipe de fonoaudiologia e classificados pela escala de PARD, observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes com algum grau de disfagia tinham idade igual ou superior a 55 anos ou ficaram intubados por pelo menos 7 dias ou realizaram traqueostomia. Quanto a evolução satisfatória da dieta oral, observou-se que aqueles que precisaram de regressão na sua maioria, apresentaram uma perda de massa muscular medida pela circunferência de panturrilha maior que 5%. Conclui-se que a idade, o tempo de intubação e o uso de traqueostomia podem estar associados a incidência de disfagia, também vale ressaltar que a perda de massa muscular apresentou impacto na evolução da dieta oral dos pacientes.

The problem of establishing coastal protection strips within settlements
Authors: Rіasnіanska Alona , Ludannyi Anatoly , Opara Olena , Sterndock Anna
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the main problems related to establishing coastal protection strips within the boundaries of settlements. Groups of problems were identified based on standard features and reasons for their occurrence: problems caused by the obsolescence or lack of urban planning and land management documentation; problems related to land plots adjacent to coastal protective strips; problems associated with obstructing citizens' access to water bodies and those associated with insufficient control over the condition of riverbeds. It has been established that the most common problem is the lack of up-to-date urban planning and land management documentation, such as a master plan and a land management project for establishing (changing) boundaries, including settlements, a land management project that defines the territories of the nature reserve fund, other areas of nature protection, health, recreation, historical and cultural, forestry purposes, as well as water fund lands and water protection zones (most of these documents are from the 80-90s of the last century). Insufficient documentation also leads to the loss of natural channels of water bodies in some places, such as on the territory of territorial communities, making it challenging to establish coastal protection strips. According to the current legislation, the owners of land plots do not have the right to own these land plots. In addition, a significant problem is restricting citizens' access to water bodies in settlements. The article also analyzes essential documents and regulatory and methodological materials regarding establishing coastal protection strips. It was emphasized that measures such as the updating of urban planning documentation, in particular the development of comprehensive plans for the spatial development of the territories of territorial communities, conducting an inventory of land within the boundaries of water bodies, and the development of projects for the establishment of water protection zones and coastal protection strips will contribute to the solution of these problems and ensure the proper order of using water objects.
Keywords: coastal protection strips, water protection zones, urban planning documentation, regulatory and legal support, territorial communities.
Enhanced osteogenesis and bactericidal performance of additively manufactured MgO-and Cu-added CpTi for load-bearing implants
Authors: Ciliveri Sushant , Bandyopadhyay Amit
Published: October 2023

The bio-inertness of titanium, which is the ultimate choice of metallic material for implant applications, causes delayed bone–tissue integration at the implant site and prevents expedited healing for the patient. This can result in a severe issue for patients with immunocompromised bone health as titanium does not offer inherent antimicrobial properties, and thus, infections at the implant site are another concern. Current strategies addressing the issues above include using cemented implants as a coating on Ti6Al4V bulk material for orthopedic applications. Roadblock arises with coating failure due to weak interfacial bond at the Ti–cement interface, which necessitates revision surgeries. In this study, we added osteogenic MgO and antibacterial Cu to commercially pure titanium (CpTi) and processed them using metal additive manufacturing. Mg, an essential trace element in the body, has been proven to enhance osseointegration in vivo. Cu has been popular for its bactericidal capabilities. With the addition of 1 wt.% of MgO to the CpTi matrix, we observed a four-fold increase in the mineralized bone formation at the bone–implant interface in vivo. The addition of 3 wt.% of Cu did not result in cytotoxicity, and adding Cu to CpTi-MgO chemical makeup yielded in vivo performance similar to that in CpTi-MgO. In in vitro bacterial studies with gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, CpTi-MgO-Cu displayed an antibacterial efficacy of 81% at the end of 72 h of culture. Our findings highlight the synergistic benefits of CpTi-MgO-Cu, which exhibit superior early-stage osseointegration and antimicrobial capabilities.
Uma análise da influência kantiana na aceitação das geometrias não-euclidianas
Authors: Ferreira Luciano , Secorun dos Santos Talita
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo, de cunho bibliográfico, procura analisar as influências da filosofia Kantiana na aceitação das Geometrias não-euclidianas. Registros históricos indicam que até meados do século XIX, a Geometria Euclidiana era considerada a única geometria possível. Foi então que apareceram as Geometrias não-euclidianas. Tais geometrias não foram aceitas com facilidade pela comunidade matemática e ficaram no campo obscuro da matemática por algum tempo. Nessa mesma época, a filosofia dominante, tanto para a igreja como para a comunidade acadêmica, era a filosofia kantiana. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é discutir qual a influência da filosofia kantiana na aceitação das Geometrias não-euclidianas. As conclusões indicam que houve influência da filosofia kantiana na aceitação das Geometrias não-euclidianas, no entanto, foi o ideal da Geometria Euclidiana que fez com que a comunidade matemática não aceitasse a existência das novas geometrias. As Geometrias não-euclidianas foram consideradas aberrações do conhecimento humano e permaneceram no obscuro da matemática até o momento que elas foram ao encontro dos novos discursos produzidos pela sociedade capitalista e foram utilizadas para refutar o apriorismo kantiano.
Philosophy in the West Indian Novel
Authors: McKenzie Earl
Published: October 2023

Earl McKenzie's pioneering philosophical study of the West Indian novel is based on three main assumptions: first, that philosophy is a reflection on the fundamental questions we can ask about ourselves and our world; second, that literature, particularly the novel, is the best method yet devised to provide a "human face" to these reflections; and third, Caribbean philosophy is at present embedded in other forms of cultural expression, like literature, and these forms need to be excavated to reveal what lies within. McKenzie examines ten novels by George Lamming, Roger Mais, Wilson Harris, V.S. Naipaul, Orlando Patterson, Jean Rhys, Erna Brodber, Lakshmi Persaud, Earl Lovelace and Jamaica Kincaid, each selected to represent differences in geography, chronology, ethnicity and gender. In this cross-section of novels, McKenzie identifies ancestral influences from the philosophies of Europe, Africa and India, and show how West Indian fiction embodies ideas from several areas of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of education, social and political philosophy, ethics, feminist philosophy, and philosophy of literature. Philosophy in the West Indian Novel uncovers sections of the mostly unknown Caribbean philosophical mosaic, and McKenzie's work will encourage further study and refection on philosophical ideas in a Caribbean context. It will be of interest to philosophers, literary critics, educators, social scientists, and anyone interested in Caribbean studies.

Teaching and Learning Computational Mathematics with Intensive Application of the Virtual Campus
Authors: Gago Eduardo
Published: October 2023

Nowadays, the field of professional development in engineering requires appropriate and relevant training for a satisfactory insertion in the labor market. This requires that educational institutions provide not only the specific knowledge of the career being studied but also must complement it with other skills necessary for adequate performance in the work environment. Based on these premises, this paper describes the design of a classroom experience to be implemented in the subject of Advanced Calculus (AC), a third-level subject of the Mechanical Engineering course. The proposed activities are developed in the Computer and Multidisciplinary Laboratory of Basic Sciences available at the faculty and seek to encourage the use of the virtual campus, where the mediation between the content of the subject and the concrete applications of simple engineering models are the axis to develop the topic: Analytical Functions of Complex Variables (AFCV).

In this paper we investigate the criterion validity of forced-choice comparisons of the quality of written arguments with normative solutions. Across two studies, novices and experts assessing quality of reasoning through a forced-choice design were both able to choose arguments supporting more accurate solutions—62.2% (SE = 1%) of the time for novices and 74.4% (SE = 1%) for experts—and arguments produced by larger teams—up to 82% of the time for novices and 85% for experts—with high inter-rater reliability, namely 70.58% (95% CI = 1.18) agreement for novices and 80.98% (95% CI = 2.26) for experts. We also explored two methods for increasing efficiency. We found that the number of comparative judgments needed could be substantially reduced with little accuracy loss by leveraging transitivity and producing quality-of-reasoning assessments using an AVL tree method. Moreover, a regression model trained to predict scores based on automatically derived linguistic features of participants’ judgments achieved a high correlation with the objective accuracy scores of the arguments in our dataset. Despite the inherent subjectivity involved in evaluating differing quality of reasoning, the forced-choice paradigm allows even novice raters to perform beyond chance and can provide a valid, reliable, and efficient method for producing quality-of-reasoning assessments at scale.

Optoelectronic devices have various applications in medical equipment, sensors, and communication systems. Photodetectors, which convert light into electrical signals, have gained much attention from many research teams. This study describes a low-cost photodetector based on CuO nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods operating in a wide range of light wavelengths (395, 464, 532, and 640 nm). Particularly, under 395 nm excitation, the heterostructure device exhibits high responsivity, photoconductive gain, detectivity, and sensitivity with maximum values of 1.38 A·W−1, 4.33, 2.58 × 1011 Jones, and 1934.5% at a bias of 2 V, respectively. The sensing mechanism of the p–n heterojunction of CuO/ZnO is also explored. Overall, this study indicates that the heterostructure of CuO nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods obtained via a simple and cost-effective synthesis process has great potential for optoelectronic applications.
The Mixed of Hybrid Nanofluid GO-MoS2/Engine Oil Over a Shrinking Sheet with Mass Flux Effect: Reiner-Philippoff Model
Authors: Nur Syahidah Nordin  , Abdul Rahman Mohd Kasim  , Masyfu’ah Mokhtar  , Iskandar Waini
Published: October 2023

The mixed convection flow and heat transfer of the hybrid nanofluid over a shrinking sheet are investigated. Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) and graphene oxide (GO) are employed as two hybrid nanoparticles while engine oil (EO) as the base fluid is considered. In this study, the Reiner-Philippoff model as one of non-Newtonian types is deliberated since it has the ability to function on three distinct types of fluids: viscous, shear thickening and shear thinning. The Reiner-Philippoff relation, the momentum and energy equations under Tiwari and Das model are all employed in the study. Influences from mass flux are also considered in the flow. Before computation using the bvp4c function in MATLAB, the respected equations are first converted into ordinary differential equation form using the similarity transformation. When the established and current models are discovered to be identical in a specific case, a direct comparative investigation is conducted to confirm the correctness of the current model. In addition, the present results are shown graphically and in tabular form. It is hypothesized that the presence of a hybrid nanofluid significantly affects the fluid characteristic and gives more satisfactory results than a single nanofluid. The skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate of hybrid nanofluids are greater than the nanofluids. In terms of velocity and temperature profile, the reduction in velocity and the enhancement in temperature profile are caused by a rise in the Reiner-Philippoff parameter. The same outcome is also seen when the volume fraction of hybrid nanofluids increases.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common, yet underdiagnosed cause of secondary hypertension. It is characterized by an overproduction of aldosterone, leading to hypertension and/or hypokalemia. Despite affecting between 5.9% and 34% of patients with hypertension, PA is frequently missed due to a lack of clinical awareness and systematic screening, which can result in significant cardiovascular complications. To address this, medical societies have developed clinical practice guidelines to improve the management of hypertension and PA. The Korean Endocrine Society, drawing on a wealth of research, has formulated new guidelines for PA. A task force has been established to prepare PA guidelines, which encompass epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care. The Korean clinical guidelines for PA aim to deliver an evidence-based protocol for PA diagnosis, treatment, and patient monitoring. These guidelines are anticipated to ease the burden of this potentially curable condition.
Multiomics Approach to Acromegaly: Unveiling Translational Insights for Precision Medicine
Authors: Kim Kyungwon , Ku Cheol Ryong , Lee Eun Jig
Published: October 2023

The clinical characteristics and prognoses of acromegaly vary among patients. Assessment of current and novel predictors can lead to multilevel categorization of patients, allowing integration into new clinical guidelines and a reduction in the increased morbidity and mortality associated with acromegaly. Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acromegaly, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Recent advancements in multiomics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and radiomics, have offered new opportunities to unravel the complex pathophysiology of acromegaly. This review comprehensively explores the emerging role of multiomics approaches in elucidating the molecular landscape of acromegaly. We discuss the potential implications of multiomics data integration in the development of novel diagnostic tools, identification of therapeutic targets, and the prospects of precision medicine in acromegaly management. By integrating diverse omics datasets, these approaches can provide valuable insights into disease mechanisms, facilitate the identification of diagnostic biomarkers, and identify potential therapeutic targets for precision medicine in the management of acromegaly.
Physical Properties of the Young Asteroid Pair 2010 UM26 and 2010 RN221

Published: October 2023

The main belt asteroids 458271 (2010 UM26) and 2010 RN221 share almost identical orbital elements, and currently appear as comoving objects ∼30″ apart in the plane of the sky. They are products of the breakup of a parent object, or the splitting of a binary, with a separation age measured in decades rather than thousands or millions of years as for most other asteroid pairs. The nature of the precursor body and the details of the breakup and separation of the components are unknown. We obtained deep, high-resolution imaging using the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize the pair and to search for material in addition to the main components that might have been released upon breakup. The primary and secondary have absolute magnitudes H = 17.98 and 19.69, respectively, and effective diameters 760 and 350 m (assuming geometric albedo 0.20). The secondary/primary mass ratio is 0.1, assuming equal densities. Time-series photometry shows that the primary rotates with period ∼5.9 hr and has a small photometric range (0.15 mag), while the period of the secondary is undetermined (but ≳20 hr) and its lightcurve range is at least 1 mag. The primary rotation period and component mass ratio are consistent with a simple model for the breakup of a rotationally unstable precursor. However, unlike other observationally supported instances of asteroid breakup, neither macroscopic fragments nor unresolved material are found remaining in the vicinity of this asteroid pair. We suggest that the pair is a recently dissociated binary, itself formed earlier by rotational instability of 2010 UM26.
R-process Nucleosynthesis of Subminimal Neutron Star Explosions

Published: October 2023

We show that a minimum-mass neutron star undergoes delayed explosion after mass removal from its surface. We couple the Newtonian hydrodynamics to a nuclear reaction network of ∼4500 isotopes to study the nucleosynthesis and neutrino emission during the explosion. An electron antineutrino burst with a peak luminosity of ∼3 × 1050 erg s−1 is emitted while the ejecta is heated to ∼109 K. A robust r-process nucleosynthesis is realized in the ejecta. Lanthanides and heavy elements near the second and third r-process peaks are synthesized as end products of nucleosynthesis, suggesting that subminimal neutron star explosions could be an important source of solar chemical elements.

Kilonova spectra provide us with information of r-process nucleosynthesis in neutron star mergers. However, it is still challenging to identify individual elements in the spectra mainly due to the lack of experimentally accurate atomic data for heavy elements at near-infrared wavelengths. Recently, Domoto et al. proposed that the absorption features around 14500 Å in the observed spectra of GW170817/AT2017gfo are Ce iii lines. But they used theoretical transition probabilities (gf-values) whose accuracy is uncertain. In this paper, we derive the astrophysical gf-values of three Ce iii lines, aiming at verifying this identification. We model high-resolution H-band spectra of four F-type supergiants showing clear Ce iii absorption features by assuming stellar parameters derived from optical spectra in the literature. We also test the validity of the derived astrophysical gf-values by estimating the Ce iii abundances of Ap stars. We find that the derived astrophysical gf-values of the Ce iii lines are systematically lower by about 0.25 dex than those used in previous work of kilonovae, while they are still compatible within the uncertainty ranges. By performing radiative transfer simulations of kilonovae with the derived gf-values, we find that the identification of Ce iii as a source of absorption features in the observed kilonova spectra still stands, even considering the uncertainties in the astrophysical gf-values. This supports the identification of Ce in the spectra of GW170817/AT2017gfo.

Solar radio bursts are strongly affected by radio-wave scattering on density inhomogeneities, changing their observed time characteristics, sizes, and positions. The same turbulence causes angular broadening and scintillation of galactic and extragalactic compact radio sources observed through the solar atmosphere. Using large-scale simulations of radio-wave transport, the characteristics of anisotropic density turbulence from 0.1 R
⊙ to 1 au are explored. For the first time, a profile of heliospheric density fluctuations is deduced that accounts for the properties of extrasolar radio sources, solar radio bursts, and in situ density fluctuation measurements in the solar wind at 1 au. The radial profile of the spectrum-weighted mean wavenumber of density fluctuations (a quantity proportional to the scattering rate of radio waves) is found to have a broad maximum at around (4–7) R
⊙, where the slow solar wind becomes supersonic. The level of density fluctuations at the inner scale (which is consistent with the proton resonance scale) decreases with heliocentric distance as

cm−6. Due to scattering, the apparent positions of solar burst sources observed at frequencies between 0.1 and 300 MHz are computed to be essentially cospatial and to have comparable sizes, for both fundamental and harmonic emission. Anisotropic scattering is found to account for the shortest solar radio burst decay times observed, and the required wavenumber anisotropy is q

⊥ = 0.25–0.4, depending on whether fundamental or harmonic emission is involved. The deduced radio-wave scattering rate paves the way to quantify intrinsic solar radio burst characteristics.
Hot Jupiters Have Giant Companions: Evidence for Coplanar High-eccentricity Migration
Authors: Zink Jon K. , Howard Andrew W.
Published: October 2023

This study considers the characteristics of planetary systems with giant planets based on a population-level analysis of the California Legacy Survey planet catalog. We identified three characteristics common to hot Jupiters (HJs). First, while not all HJs have a detected outer giant planet companion (

), such companions are ubiquitous when survey completeness corrections are applied for orbital periods out to 40,000 days. Giant-harboring systems without an HJ also host at least one outer giant planet companion per system. Second, the mass distributions of HJs and other giant planets are indistinguishable. However, within a planetary system that includes an HJ, the outer giant planet companions are at least 3× more massive than the inner HJs. Third, the eccentricity distribution of the outer companions in HJ systems (with an average model eccentricity of 〈e〉 = 0.34 ± 0.05) is different from the corresponding outer planets in planetary systems without HJs (〈e〉 = 0.19 ± 0.02). We conclude that the existence of two gas giants, where the outermost planet has an eccentricity ≥0.2 and is 3× more massive, are key factors in the production of an HJ. Our simple model based on these factors predicts that ∼10% of warm and cold Jupiter systems will by chance meet these assembly criteria, which is consistent with our measurement of a 16% ± 6% relative occurrence of HJ systems to all giant-harboring systems. We find that these three features favor coplanar high-eccentricity migration as the dominant mechanism for HJ formation.
La toux pour le tout, entre Œdipe et Chaos
Authors: Papazian Berdj
Published: October 2023

L’auteur décrit une séquence clinique dont la toux constitue une manifestation inattendue mais pas moins principale. La patiente sortait d’une grave dépression, un état qui reflétait l’ensemble du cours de sa vie. La toux apparaît comme un symptôme crucial du site analytique, d’une part sur le versant hystérique lié à un traumatisme sexuel et, d’autre part, elle porte l’expression de parties du self non-nées. C’est le contre-transfert en régrédience qui permet d’accueillir ces dernières en quête de trouver une forme à travers un cadre malléable et un objet suffisamment bon. La toux sépare objet et sujet en réédition d’un objet obstructif et les relie à la fois au travers de la frustration contenue. Une fantasmatique sado-masochique semble faire office de pont entre le bipôle somato-psychique. L’auteur fait la double hypothèse que ces aspects incréés du self passe logiquement par le corps et qu’ils tiennent d’une énergie inqualifiée. Les pulsions d’autoconservation pourraient servir le Moi inconscient générateur de croissance en puisant dans l’informe.
