An Effective Congestion and Interference Secure Routing Protocol for Internet of Things Applications in Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Vankdothu Ramdas , Hameed Mohd Abdul 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis paper provides an effective Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) routing solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications cognizant of congestion, security, and interference. Because several sources try to deliver their packets to a destination simultaneously, which is a common case in IoT applications. The proposed congestion and interference aware safe routing protocol is claimed to work in networks with high traffic. The signal to interference ratio (SINR), congestion level, and survival factor is used in our suggested procedure to estimate the cluster head selection factor first. The adaptive fuzzy c-means clustering method clusters the network nodes based on the cluster head selection factor. After that, data packets are encrypted using Adaptive Quantum Logic-based packet coding. Finally, the Adaptive Krill Herd (AKH) optimization method identifies the least congested corridor, resulting in optimal data transmission routing. The exploratory findings show that the provided strategy outperforms previous methodologies in network performance, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, and node remaining energy level.

Abstract
The Institute of Medicine (2001) describes quality health care as safe, effective, patient-centered, efficient, equitable, and timely. Although this definition highlights the necessity of continuous program evaluation to ensure that these goals are being addressed, there is a notable lack of industry-wide standards and benchmarks, and many clinical programs lack the ability to continually and rigorously evaluate their own performance with data. This might be particularly true in the case of ensuring service members and veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) obtain treatment, as several systemic barriers exist, such as long wait times and lack of equitable treatment for individuals with minoritized identities. The current study examines the impact of a clinic-wide intake redesign for a massed PTSD treatment program to shift the intake process to a small, dedicated team rather than a responsibility shared across all clinicians. The redesign led to significantly shorter wait times for treatment and reduced some types of pre-treatment dropout. On average, patients received an acceptance/rejection decision 1 week sooner, attended the program almost 2 months sooner, and saw a roughly 60% reduction in the odds of dropout at the point of receiving an acceptance/rejection decision. Some disparities in wait times for those who were not partnered, women, and individuals who financially supported more family members remained after the redesign. Results are discussed in light of the importance of continuous program evaluation to address IOM’s holistic definition of quality health care.

Published: December 2024

AbstractA tri-leaflet mitral valve (MV) is an extremely rare phenomenon, often associated with significant mitral regurgitation (MR). It may represent a phenotypic expression of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with HOCM, a tri-leaflet MV, and systolic anterior motion (SAM)–induced severe MR. Despite receiving optimal medical therapy, her refractory symptoms and significant MR prompted surgical consideration. The patient underwent surgical myectomy, resulting in improvement of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, SAM-induced MR, and symptomatic relief. This case illustrates a unique presentation of HOCM with a tri-leaflet MV and significant MR, successfully managed with a tailored surgical myectomy.
High-dimensional experiments for the downward continuation using the LRFMP algorithm
Authors: Schneider N. , Michel V. , Sneeuw N. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractTime-dependent gravity data from satellite missions like GRACE-FO reveal mass redistribution in the system Earth at various time scales: long-term climate change signals, inter-annual phenomena like El Niño, seasonal mass transports and transients, e. g. due to earthquakes. For this contemporary issue, a classical inverse problem has to be considered: the gravitational potential has to be modelled on the Earth’s surface from measurements in space. This is also known as the downward continuation problem. Thus, it is important to further develop current mathematical methods for such inverse problems. For this, the (Learning) Inverse Problem Matching Pursuits ((L)IPMPs) have been developed within the last decade. Their unique feature is the combination of local as well as global trial functions in the approximative solution of an inverse problem such as the downward continuation of the gravitational potential. In this way, they harmonize the ideas of a traditional spherical harmonic ansatz and the radial basis function approach. Previous publications on these methods showed proofs of concept. In this paper, we report on the progress of our developments towards more realistic scenarios. In particular, we consider the methods for high-dimensional experiment settings with more than 500 000 grid points which yields a resolution of 20 km at best on a realistic satellite geometry. We also explain the changes in the methods that had to be done to work with such a large amount of data.

Charities and politics: where did we go wrong?
Authors: Norton Jane Calderwood , Harding Matthew 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis paper examines a long-standing doctrine in charities law – that if an organisation's main purpose is political then it cannot be charitable. This doctrine is not without controversy because it has the potential to exclude many worthwhile organisations from charitable status, and fetter worthwhile advocacy by those that do have status. While no jurisdiction remains unwaveringly committed to the orthodox political purpose doctrine, we argue that none so far have confronted the public benefit – and detriment – of political advocacy adequately. This paper proposes a way of assessing the public benefit of political advocacy in liberal democratic societies. It argues that political advocacy can give rise to clear public benefit: this is an indirect or process benefit associated with advocacy itself regardless of the end advocated for. However, recognising political advocacy purposes as charitable should still be subject to two constraints: the altruism requirement (reflected in the ‘public’ aspect of public benefit); and consistency with liberal democratic values (as part of the ‘benefit’ aspect). These constraints are needed because, while political advocacy can generate benefit, detriments may also be associated with political advocacy.
ORDER-PRESERVING EXTENSIONS OF LIPSCHITZ MAPS
Authors: OK EFE A. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWe study the problem of extending an order-preserving real-valued Lipschitz map defined on a subset of a partially ordered metric space without increasing its Lipschitz constant and preserving its monotonicity. We show that a certain type of relation between the metric and order of the space, which we call radiality, is necessary and sufficient for such an extension to exist. Radiality is automatically satisfied by the equality relation, so the classical McShane–Whitney extension theorem is a special case of our main characterization result. As applications, we obtain a similar generalization of McShane’s uniformly continuous extension theorem, along with some functional representation results for radial partial orders.
Considering the management of diversity on livestock farms from the perspective of work

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Diversified farming systems appear to be one means of meeting the sustainability challenges facing livestock farming systems and of facilitating the renewal of future generations of farmers in a context of climatic, economic and social change. However, although work seems to be an essential issue for livestock farms, few studies have explored the impact of on-farm diversity on work. This study aims to fill the gap in our understanding of the various ways in which on-farm diversity affects work. We applied a framework combining six dimensions of work with three forms of on-farm diversity (diversity of management entities, diversity of farming activities, diversity of workers) to six studies that had been conducted previously on livestock farms. Our results highlight a wide range of links between on-farm diversity and work. We show that on-farm diversity affects various dimensions of work in multiple ways, which can be both positive and negative. For example, while there may not be a strict and clear relation between on-farm diversity and workloads, diversity provides flexibility for organizing the distribution of working time. Moreover, on-farm diversity seems to more frequently reinforce the meaning of work for farmers. Our results also show that there are multiple interactions between the six dimensions of work studied. Our study points to the need for a comprehensive approach to understanding the multifaceted and interconnected nature of work dimensions in diversified farming systems. Further research is recommended to explore these relationships more deeply to support sustainable and attractive diversified farming systems.

AbstractThe cold plasma density can significantly alter the rate of diffusion of radiation belt electrons by chorus waves within the magnetosphere, and the range of energies at which diffusion is effective.

We demonstrate that this approach of including the variance in recreates the acceleration of electrons up to MeV energies better than other previous approaches to including .
Six years of high-resolution monitoring data of 40 borehole heat exchangers
Authors: Heim Elisa , Stoffel Phillip , Müller Dirk , Klitzsch Norbert 
Published: December 2024

AbstractGround-source heat pumps (GSHPs) coupled with borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) are energy-efficient technologies for heating and cooling buildings. However, these systems often fail to operate at their full potential due to discrepancies between the assumptions made during the design phase and the actual conditions during operation. To enhance overall GSHP performance, it is crucial to collect and analyze long-term monitoring data from operating BHE fields. To our knowledge, no long-term, high-resolution dataset of double U-tube BHEs is currently publicly available. Additionally, most studies typically monitor only the inlet and outlet of the entire ground heat exchanger rather than individual BHEs, hindering detailed performance analysis. With this data descriptor, we present a 6-year dataset from a BHE field comprising 40 BHEs, each with sensors for volume flow and inlet/outlet temperatures, recorded every 30 seconds. We believe this dataset will enhance understanding of individual BHE performance, provide validation for BHE models, and thus support better GSHP design and operation.
It's About Time: Parent–Child Turn-Taking in Early Stuttering
Authors: Godsey Allison , Ratner Nan Bernstein 
Published: December 2024

Purpose:
Most common treatments for stuttering offer advice that parents modify temporal features of conversational interaction to assist children who stutter (CWS). Advice includes but is not limited to slowing of adult speech, increasing turn-taking/response-time latencies (RTLs), and reducing interruptions. We looked specifically at RTL and parental speech rate in a longitudinal data set that included baseline behaviors.

Method:

We used data from baseline recordings (
CWNS
= 13 CWS-persistent, 28 CWS-recovered, 21 children who did not stutter) of the Illinois International Stuttering Research Project at FluencyBank, using CLAN software with audio linkage to Praat.

Results:
Group differences in speech rate and RTL at baseline were nonsignificant; parents of CWS-persistent spoke most slowly pre-advisement. No relationships between speech rate or RTL and child fluency were detected.

Conclusions:
This is a retrospective, observational study, and caution must be used in interpreting our findings. However, current results do not add evidentiary support for common advice to adjust temporal parameters of their interactions made to parents of CWS, in terms of therapeutic outcome or concurrent fluency. We are analyzing subsequent samples, after advisement, to determine potential benefits of such guidance not evident in this analysis. Suggestions for future research and implications for clinical focus and practice are offered.
The Active Ingredients of Semantic Naming Treatment: Evidence From Mandarin–English Bilingual Adults With Aphasia
Authors: Li Ran , Chen ShiMin , Kiran Swathi 
Published: December 2024

Purpose:
Following the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) framework, the current study investigated the active ingredients in the modified semantic feature analysis (mSFA) targeting either noun or verb retrieval in Mandarin–English bilingual adults with aphasia (BWA).

Method:
Twelve Mandarin–English BWA completed mSFA treatment for nouns and verbs. Eight of them completed both noun and verb treatment, while four completed either type of treatment. Performance in each step was scored and analyzed using mixed-effects modeling. Then, regression was performed to estimate the effect of treatment performance on the accuracy of naming probes for trained and semantically related items in both treated and untreated languages.

Results:
Participants demonstrated significant improvements in all treatment steps during both noun and verb treatment, yet the effect varied depending on the trained word category and treatment language. Moreover, all treatment components contributed significantly to the treatment outcomes. Better treatment performance in spontaneous naming was significantly associated with improved naming accuracy of the trained items in noun mSFA, while better treatment performance in spontaneous naming, feature analysis, and sentence production was significantly associated with enhanced naming of the semantically related untrained items in noun mSFA. Importantly, performance in all treatment steps of both noun and verb mSFA significantly predicted naming accuracy in the untreated language.

Conclusion:
Findings provided strong evidence of the potential active ingredients of semantic-based naming therapy in Mandarin–English BWA and highlighted the importance of examining treatment ingredients within the RTSS framework.

Published: December 2024

In this work, the molecular enhancement factors of the P,T-odd interactions involving the electron electric dipole moment (Wd) and the scalar–pseudoscalar nucleon–electron couplings (Ws) are computed for the ground state of the bimetallic molecules YbCu, YbAg, and YbAu. These systems offer a promising avenue for creating cold molecules by associating laser-cooled atoms. The relativistic coupled-cluster approach is used in the calculations, and a thorough uncertainty analysis is performed to give accurate and reliable uncertainties to the obtained values. Furthermore, an in-depth investigation of the different electronic structure effects that determine the magnitude of the calculated enhancement factors is carried out, and two different schemes for computing Wd are compared. The final values for the enhancement factors are (13.32±0.13)×1024hHzecm, (12.19±0.12)×1024hHzecm, and (2.36±0.48)×1024hHzecm for Wd and (−48.63 ± 0.53) h kHz, (−45.68 ± 0.60) h kHz, and (3.81 ± 2.58) h kHz for Ws, for YbCu, YbAg, and YbAu, respectively.

Abstract

Objective. Position-sensitive silicon photomultipliers (PS-SiPMs) are promising photodetectors for ultra-high spatial resolution small-animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. This paper evaluated the performance of the latest generation of linearly-graded SiPMs (LG-SiPMs), a type of PS-SiPM, for ultra-high spatial resolution PET applications using LYSO arrays from two vendors. Approach. Two dual-ended readout detectors were developed by coupling LG-SiPMs to both ends of the two LYSO arrays. Each LG-SiPM has an active area of 9.8 × 9.8 mm2. Both LYSO arrays consist of 20 × 20 arrays of 0.44 × 0.44 × 20 mm3 polished LYSOs with a pitch of 0.5 mm. The performance of the two detectors was compared in terms of flood histogram, energy resolution, timing resolution, and depth-of-interaction (DOI) resolutions. Main results. Flood histograms showed clear identification of all LYSO elements except for some edge crystals due to the larger size of the LYSO arrays compared to the active area of the LG-SiPMs and the misalignment between LG-SiPMs and LYSO arrays in the assembled detectors. At a bias voltage of 37.0 V, the detectors utilizing the Tianle LYSO array and EBO LYSO array provided energy resolutions of 17.5 ± 2.2 and 18.6 ± 2.0%, timing resolutions of 0.75 ± 0.03 and 0.78 ± 0.03 ns, and DOI resolutions of 2.16 ± 0.15 and 2.31 ± 0.12 mm, respectively. Significance. The results presented in this paper demonstrate that the new generation LG-SiPMs are promising photodetectors for ultra-high spatial resolution small-animal PET scanner applications.
Modulation instability induced by quadratic nonlinearity in optically anisotropic medium
Authors: Shafeeque Ali A K , Anas E , Maniparambath Mohamed Nishad , Basim M B 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In anisotropic crystals, the inherent breakdown of circular symmetry due to anisotropy significantly impacts optical phenomena. This study theoretically investigates the effects of anisotropic diffraction on modulation instability (MI) spectra and subsequent optical filament formation. We model an anisotropic medium with quadratic nonlinearity, exhibiting noncritical phase-matched second-harmonic generation, using coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Through linear stability analysis and numerical simulations, we examine MI in quasi-isotropic and anisotropic quadratic nonlinear media. Our results reveal that anisotropic diffraction induces asymmetry in the MI gain spectrum, leading to the formation of elliptical optical filaments for both fundamental and second harmonics. Notably, this asymmetry in the MI gain spectrum facilitates the generation of multiple filaments in high-gain MI region.

Abstract
First-principles calculations were conducted to explore the influence of Ta incorporation on the stability, mechanical properties, and electronic structure of Ti50Nb(50−x)Ta
x
(0 ≤ x ≤ 50, x at.%) alloys. The results indicate that Ta addition increases lattice parameters and formation energy while maintaining structural stability across all compositions. Elastic constants confirm mechanical stability and reveal increasing stiffness with higher Ta content. Projected density of states (PDOS) analysis reveals that Ta enhances metallic bonding and alters the electronic environment near the Fermi level, which aligns with the observed mechanical improvements, including higher stiffness, rigidity, and hardness. The calculated Young’s modulus of 39–72 GPa offers better compatibility with bone than conventional implants, with Poisson’s ratio confirming sufficient ductility. These findings suggest that these alloys hold potential for biomedical applications, offering a balance between mechanical performance and structural stability.

Authors: A K Sijo , P Sapna 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This pioneering study elucidates, for the first time, the profound impact of copper precursors (copper acetate, copper sulfate, and copper chloride) on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of Copper Tin Sulfide (CTS) thin films synthesized via successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) deposition. Comprehensive characterization using x-ray diffraction (XRD), cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and electrical and optical measurements revealed significant variations in crystallite size (74.9–84.4 nm), film thickness (1.235–4.75 μm), and conductance (3.2–4.7 × 10−11 S). Notably, copper acetate-derived films exhibited enhanced surface morphology, whereas copper chloride-derived films demonstrated exceptional optoelectronic properties, including a maximum bandgap energy of 3.7 eV, highest conductance of 4.7 × 10−11 S, and unique optical characteristics, such as zero transmittance below 300 nm, low absorption above 300 nm, and a balanced absorption profile, rendering them suitable for photovoltaic cells, optical sensors, and UV-blocking applications. These results demonstrate the critical influence of copper precursors on CTS thin film properties, paving the way for tailored material design and enhanced device performance, with significant implications for the development of efficient and sustainable photovoltaic technologies.
