A Lattice Boltzmann Scheme for Polarized Radiative Transfer in Planetary Atmospheres
Authors: Liu Xiaochuan , Zhu Keyong , Shao Jiang , Huang Yong 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Quantitative calculation of reflected polarized light from planets is of great significance to interpret the polarimetric observations of planetary atmospheres. In this work, we propose a lattice Boltzmann (LB) scheme for polarized radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres. The LB scheme obtains the Stokes vector through the vector LB equation performing simple collision and streaming processes. The vector radiative transfer equation is rigorously derived from the vector LB equation via the Maxwell iteration technique. Polarized radiative transfer of a single point on the planetary surface with Rayleigh and Mie scattering atmospheres are first accurately solved by our LB scheme. Afterward, we systematically investigate the disk-integrated polarization of finite and semi-infinite, conservative and nonconservative Rayleigh scattering planetary atmospheres. The disk-integrated phase curves of the Stokes parameters and degree of polarization and spherical and geometric albedos are produced, which are in good agreement with the benchmark results for different cases. The numerical results indicate that our LB scheme is efficient and accurate for polarized radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres. Our LB scheme is expected to provide a competitive numerical tool to interpret the polarimetric observations of planetary atmospheres.
A Survey of Pediatric Ophthalmologists to Assess Practice Patterns for Primary Surgical Management of Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Authors: Pogrebniak Elizabeth , Crouch Eric 
Published: August 2021

Purpose:
To survey current practice patterns of pediatric ophthalmologists regarding primary surgical management of infantile dacryostenosis.

Methods:
Responses to a five-question survey were cross-tabulated to compare surgery preferences across patient age ranges and intubation method. Surveys were submitted to members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus following institutional review board approval.

Results:

Results from 142 completed surveys were analyzed. A bimodal distribution of reported propensity to intubate the nasolacrimal duct during primary surgery for dacryostenosis was observed, with one group of ophthalmologists intubating frequently and a second group intubating rarely. For patients younger than 24 months, 33 of 142 surgeons (23%) preferred to intubate 91% or more of the time and 76 of 142 (54%) preferred to intubate 10% or less of the time. For patients older than 24 months, the overall preference for intubation increased compared to the younger patient age group (
P
< .0007). In older patients, 52 of 142 surgeons (37%) preferred to intubate 91% or more of the time and 45 of 142 surgeons (32%) preferred to intubate 10% or less of the time. The most common preferred intubation methods were self-threading monocanalicular stent (42%) and metal-swaged bicanalicular stent (21%). Surgeons who preferred self-threading monocanalicular stents more often also preferred intubation procedures.

Conclusions:
Best practice for infantile dacryostenosis remains a surgeon preference, with some surgeons performing intubation frequently and others performing it rarely. Overall estimated intubation rates for primary surgery increased from 36% in children younger than 24 months to 50% at age 24 months or older.

Published: August 2021

Background: Understanding how drinking water is managed in rural households that lack access to improved water sources is necessary for designing effective strategies that can meet their drinking water requirements. This study aimed to assess the drinking water management practices of rural households in two selected communities of Plateau State.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in Plateau State among 202 female caregivers of under-five children residing in households of two rural communities who were selected using a multistage sampling technique. An interviewer-administered questionnaire and an observational checklist were used to obtain information on water sources, collection, storage and treatment practices. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Bivariate analysis was done to identify factors associated with household water treatment practice followed by logistic regression to determine predictors. Level of significance was set at p<0.05.Results: Mean age of respondents was 32.5±12.3 years. Nearly half (48%) of the households obtained drinking water from unimproved sources and 18.3% treated water at home which were mainly inappropriate methods. About 75% always stored drinking water separately from other uses while 64% stored water for over 3days. Only 51% were observed to store water in clean containers. Independent predictors of household water treatment were perception of drinking water safety (AOR=4.6; 95%CI: 2.1–10.3) and encouragement to treat water within the community (AOR=16.7; 95%CI: 2.1 – 28.5).Conclusion: There is a need to educate and encourage the rural populace on appropriate water management methods while efforts are being made to increase access to improved sources.

ABSTRACT
This research was conducted at Daarul Yaqiin Islamic Junior High School in Serang City, with the aim of 1) To determine the Efforts of PPKn Teachers in Implementing Discipline Attitudes to Improve Student Learning Achievement in Daarul Yaqiin Islamic Junior High School, Serang City. 2) Knowing the factors that inhibit PPKn Teacher Efforts in Implementing Discipline Attitudes to Improve Student Achievement in Daarul Yaqiin Islamic Junior High School, Serang City. The method used is a qualitative method with data collection through observation, interview and documentation techniques. The analysis used is to use triangulation with data reduction techniques, data display and data fermentation. The results obtained in this study are that the teacher has made an effort to apply disciplinary attitudes quite well by providing a positive attitude to students, applying appropriate rules and sanctions for students, implementing interesting and fun learning for students. While the factors that affect the inhibition of the teacher's efforts in implementing disciplinary attitudes to improve student learning achievement are mainly influenced by two factors, namely internal and external, where internal originates from within the student itself, such as will, habits, physical and psychological factors. Meanwhile, external factors come from the learning environment and social environment.
Overview Of The Rights Of Person With Disabilities: A Human Rights Approach
Authors: Dr. Ram Charan Meena,  
Published: August 2021

Persons with disabilities have the right to enjoy the human rights to life, liberty, equality, security and dignity as human beings. However, due to social apathy, psychological barriers, a limited definition of “disability” entitled to the protection of the law and lack of proper data, persons with disabilities in India remain an invisible category. Although many laws set out to ensure their full and effective participation in society, they remain inadequate as they are based primarily on the discretion of the government. Also, the judiciary acts as the real protector of persons with disabilities whenever an opportunity arises, but it is not possible to approach the judiciary for every request. Unless the foundation of the law is strengthened, persons with disabilities cannot fully exercise their rights.
The present research paper mentions the contemporary situation of people with disabilities with the current laws and concepts, and also the researcher believes that it is not only the law that will provide a solution to this problem, it is the change in the outlook of the society which may provide a solution to this problem. Thus, the horizons of the law should be expanded to provide a “human friendly environment” for all persons with disabilities to remove the barriers that impede their development. With timely implementation the time has come for effective legislation to protect their interests and empower their capabilities which are based on “rights–based approach” rather than charity, medical or social approach.
Measuring walking impairment in patients with intermittent claudication: psychometric properties of the Walking Estimated-Limitation Calculated by History (WELCH) questionnaire
Authors: Rezvani Farhad , Härter Martin , Dirmaier Jörg 
Published: August 2021

Objectives
Patient-reported outcome measures can facilitate the assessment of walking impairment in peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication in clinical trials and practice. The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the German version of the ‘Walking Estimated-Limitation Calculated by History’ (WELCH) questionnaire.

Methods
The assessed properties included feasibility, test-retest reliability, construct validity (i.e., convergent, divergent and known-groups validity) and responsiveness using classic psychometric methods. Psychometric properties were tested as part of a randomized controlled home-based exercise trial for patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease at Fontaine stage IIA/B.

Results
Analyses were conducted in subgroups of 1,696 patients at baseline and 1,233 patients at 12-month follow-up (i.e., post-intervention) who completed the WELCH along with a battery of other self-report measures. The WELCH did not exhibit relevant floor or ceiling effects < 15% achieved lowest or highest possible scores), showed evidence for good test-retest reliability (ICC = .81, 95% CI [.71–.88]) and was found to be well suited for self-completion by patients (< 5% missing data per item). WELCH scores showed moderate to strong correlations with related measures of walking impairment at both time points (Walking Impairment Questionnaire: r = .56 − .74; VascuQoL-25 activity subscale: r = .61 − .66) and distinguished well among patients with poor and high quality of life when adjusting for confounders (t = 13.67, p < .001, d = .96). Adequate divergent validity was indicated by a weaker correlation between the WELCH and general anxiety at both time points (GAD-7: r = − .14 to − .22). The WELCH improved by 6.61 points (SD = 17.04, 95% CI [5.13–8.10], d = 0.39) in response to exercise treatment and was able to identify large clinically important improvements observed on the walking distance (AUC = .78, 95% CI [.71–.84]) and speed subscales (AUC = .77, 95% CI [.68–.86]) of the Walking Impairment Questionnaire.

Conclusions
The WELCH is considered a feasible, reliable and valid patient-reported outcome measure for the measurement of walking impairment in patients with peripheral artery disease. The WELCH showed evidence for responsiveness to changes in walking impairment, yet further studies are warranted to conclusively determine the WELCH’s ability to detect intervention effects.

AbstractEnvironmental heat influx often limits the effectiveness of radiative cooling materials, particularly in wearable applications where thermal comfort is paramount. This study introduces an innovative solution for personal thermal management through radiative cooling phase change (RC‐PC) fiber membranes. Fabricated by coaxial electrospinning, these membranes combine a poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) composite shell, encapsulating n‐octadecane as the core phase change material. The membranes demonstrate exceptional optical performance, with a solar reflectivity of 95.0% and an emissivity of 88.6% within the atmospheric window, effectively minimizing ambient heat absorption. The n‐octadecane‐infused fibers (0.3 mL h−1 C18@TEOS/PHBV) exhibit a phase change enthalpy of 88.3 J g−1, reducing heating rates and improving cooling by ≈1 °C at dawn. Under typical solar radiation (939.5 W m−2), the membranes provide an average cooling power of 89.0 W m−2, peaking at 95.3 W m−2. Notably, they achieve a cooling reduction of 5.1 °C under 550.2 W m−2, maintaining temperatures significantly lower than conventional fabrics, with a differential of 4.4 °C compared to medical protective clothing. These findings underscore the potential of RC‐PC fiber membranes for sustainable, efficient personal thermal management.

AbstractThe demand for systemic treatment of osteoporotic fractures to reduce recurrence is increasing, but current anti‐osteoporosis medications exhibit unsatisfactory efficacy due to adverse events and limited effects on fracture healing. Herein, a bone‐targeting zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF)‐based hydrogen sulfide (H2S) delivery system (ZIF‐H2S‐SDSSD) is designed to simultaneously promote fracture healing and alleviate osteoporosis. With bone‐targeting peptide SDSSD grafted on the surface, ZIF‐H2S‐SDSSD nanoparticles release H2S in bone tissues without affecting the serum H2S level, thereby mitigating potential risks of systematic H2S delivery. Upon cellular uptake, the acidic environment in lysosomes drives the release of H2S from the encapsulated zinc sulfide in conjunction with the degradation of ZIF. The synergistic effects of released Zn2+ and H2S promote macrophage metabolic reprogramming by suppressing succinate accumulation and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production, and further regulate osteoblast‐osteoclast coupling. Overall, this strategy holds great promise in the clinical treatment of osteoporotic fractures and broadens the application of nanomedicine therapy for orthopedic diseases.

Published: December 2024

AbstractFlexible sensing technology offers significant advantages in gesture recognition and human–machine interactions. However, existent smart gloves based on flexible sensors still have limitations in their security mechanisms; thus, they are unsuitable for high‐risk environments where identity verification and system protection are critical. This study proposes an innovative smart glove system in which person recognition and gesture control functionalities are integrated. The glove utilizes a triboelectric nanogenerator based on a polyvinyl‐alcohol–sodium‐alginate–conductive‐polyaniline (PSP) hydrogel electrode as the sensor and exhibits high sensitivity, fast response/recovery, and fatigue resistance. These properties are primarily attributed to the excellent stretchability, conductivity, and self‐healing ability of the PSP hydrogel. Because of the coordinated design of the hardware–software architecture, the smart glove enables precise control of drone flight postures via contact sensing. The glove also leverages non‐contact sensing to recognize personalized fingertip trajectories, enabling user recognition and unlocking the aforementioned drone control interface. This design improves not only the flexibility and portability of drone operation but also safety of weapon systems in future battlefield environments.

AbstractAchieving long‐term cycling stability of Zn metal anodes at high rates is crucial for the practical applications of aqueous Zn ion batteries. However, the sluggish kinetics of Zn deposition and uncontrollable dendrite growth at the electrolyte/electrode interface will inevitably lead to inferior energy efficiency and limited cycling lifespan. To address these challenges, a consecutive kinetics‐mediating mechanism is proposed through the development of an in situ crafted amorphous zinc pyrophosphate (ZPPO) artificial interphase on the Zn anode (ZPPO@Zn). Experimental and theoretical analyses indicate that the designed interphase can not only drive homogeneous ion diffusion and high Zn2+ enrichment at the reaction interface, but also simultaneously lower the Gibbs free energy of Zn2+ deposition, thus enabling dendrites‐free and kinetics‐boosted Zn electrodeposition under high current densities. Notably, the ZPPO@Zn electrode demonstrates exceptional long‐term lifespans, e.g., over 2800 and 750 h of stable cycling in symmetrical cells at high current densities of 20 and 40 mA cm−2, respectively, with low overpotential. Even under the challenging cycling condition of ultra‐high depth of discharge (DOD) of 80%, a steady cycling over 130 h is maintained. This study provides new insights into the design and optimization of interfacial engineering for fabricating high‐performance Zn metal anodes.

AbstractMagnetic liquid metal droplets, featured by unique fluidity, metallic conductivity, and magnetic reactivity, are of growing significance for next‐generation flexible electronics. Conventional fabrication routes, which typically incorporate magnetic nanoparticles into liquid metals, otherwise encounter the pitfall pertaining to surface adhesivity and corrosivity over device modules. Here, an innovative approach of synergizing liquid metals with 2D magnetic materials is presented, accordingly creating chromium(III)‐telluride‐coated liquid metal (CT–LM) droplets via a simple self‐assembly process. The CT–LM droplets exhibit controllable deformation and locomotion under magnetic fields, demonstrate nonadherence to various surfaces, and enable cost‐effective recycling of components. The functionality of CT–LM droplets is validated through their use in magnetointeractive memory devices to enable sensing/storing 64 magnetic paths and in wearable sensors as the flexible vibrator for dynamic gesture recognition with machine learning assistance. This work opens new avenues for the functional droplet design and broadens the horizons of flexible electronics.
