Published: December 2024

AbstractDisruptions, such as closures of businesses during pandemics, not only affect businesses and amenities directly but also influence how people move, spreading the impact to other businesses and increasing the overall economic shock. However, it is unclear how much businesses depend on each other during disruptions. Leveraging human mobility data and same-day visits in five US cities, we quantify dependencies between points of interest encompassing businesses, stores and amenities. We find that dependency networks computed from human mobility exhibit significantly higher rates of long-distance connections and biases towards specific pairs of point-of-interest categories. We show that using behaviour-based dependency relationships improves the predictability of business resilience during shocks by around 40% compared with distance-based models, and that neglecting behaviour-based dependencies can lead to underestimation of the spatial cascades of disruptions. Our findings underscore the importance of measuring complex relationships in patterns of human mobility to foster urban economic resilience to shocks.

Abstract
Local magnitude (ML) scales have been developed for Egypt based on 14,453 normalized Wood–Anderson amplitudes from 1670 earthquakes. These events were recorded by at least four seismic stations, with hypocentral depths of less than 40 km and earthquake magnitudes ranging from 0.1 to 6.5 ML. The dataset was processed using recordings from the two horizontal components. Egypt was divided into four sub-tectonic regions: South Egypt, North Egypt, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. The decay of amplitudes with distance was examined across the entire dataset, providing attenuation characteristics segmented into three sections, with transition distances at 90 km and 175 km. Within each sub-tectonic region, the coefficients of the distance correction term (− log A0) and the station correction term (S) were determined using a trilinear geometrical scattering model and singular value decomposition, respectively. The newly derived relationship for Egypt has resulted in unbiased ML magnitude estimates over a substantial distance range (10–1000 km), thus ensuring consistent magnitude estimates from the ENSN network.
Biological relevance and methodological implications of unexpected hearing thresholds in a diving bird

Published: December 2024

AbstractMany animals alternate between different media, such as air and water, thanks to specific adaptations. Among birds, penguins (Sphenisciformes) have the most extreme morphological, physiological, and behavioural adaptations to their amphibious lifestyle. Their auditory perception of sound, potentially matching different impedances in air and under water, is largely unknown particularly in terms of whether their underwater adaptations may have affected their in-air hearing capacity. In this context, we investigated the hearing ability of four captive Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) in air using psychophysical hearing tests. The 50% hit rate was found to be below 76 dB rms re 20 µPa between 0.250 kHz and 10 kHz, with most sensitive hearing at 2 kHz (mean threshold of 15.3 dB rms re 20 µPa). The four penguins showed large inter-individual variation in sensitivity at a given frequency but within a common audiogram shape. Despite the variability, penguins detected 0.250 kHz at comparably low sound levels (mean = 36.8 dB rms re 20 µPa) after a rapid decline of sensitivity at 0.500 kHz (mean = 64.1 dB rms re 20 µPa). This finding was unexpected, and it is therefore difficult to interpret whether it is an artefact of the methods or a biologically relevant finding. An extensive discussion is presented and suggests that this finding may be biologically relevant but would need further investigation to reveal the underlying mechanisms.

Published: December 2024

AbstractHow do group size changes influence cooperation within groups? To examine this question, we performed a dynamic, network-based prisoner’s dilemma experiment with fMRI. Across 83 human participants, we observed increased cooperation as group size increased. However, our computational modeling analysis of behavior and fMRI revealed that groups size itself did not increase cooperation. Rather, interaction between (1) participants’ stable prosocial tendencies, and (2) dynamic reciprocal strategy weighed by memory confidence, underlies the group size-modulated increase in cooperation because the balance between them shifts towards the prosocial tendency with higher memory demands in larger groups. We found that memory confidence was encoded in fusiform gyrus and precuneus, whereas its integration with prosocial tendencies was reflected in the left DLPFC and dACC. Therefore, interaction between recall uncertainty during reciprocal interaction (i.e., forgetting) and one’s individual prosocial preference is a core pillar of emergent cooperation in more naturalistic and dynamic group formation.
Supercharging engineering biology with automation

Published: December 2024

AbstractBreakthroughs in engineering biology will solve the challenges facing humanity, by harnessing life itself. Standing in the way of these breakthroughs are the technical challenges of collecting the requisite data. Data variability and reproducibility problems, mean the odds are stacked against emerging biotechs. Automation has long been known to solve both problems; Let a robot do the pipetting and get reproducible data with less hands‐on time. Although transitioning to automation has clear benefits, it can introduce additional complexity if done incorrectly. Analytik Jena UK has focused on supporting this transition to automation. We have found the combining of industry expertise with the biology know‐how at the bench is paramount. Great automation should empower the scientist. Scientists should be trained on how to harness their automation. Through industry‐customer relationships, we have successfully automated platforms for building DNA to antibody development. Through this partnership, we can enable a smooth translation of engineering biology to scalable industrial solutions. In this communication we have highlighted some successful examples where translating engineering biology workflows onto automation has proven beneficial, paving the way to industry ready solutions.
A lightweight social cognitive risk potential field model for path planning with dedicated dynamic and static traffic factors
Authors: Guo Sijing , Zheng Shengwen , Li Ji , Zhou Quan , Xu Hongming 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDriving risk assessment is crucial for autonomous vehicles to guarantee driving safety and traffic efficiency. Risk field models with insufficient consideration of traffic factors are not reliable enough to provide effective support for automated driving tasks, and those highly complex models with numerous uncertain coefficients also limit the execution of automated driving tasks. Inspired by Coulomb's law, this paper proposes a new lightweight social cognitive driving risk potential field model by leveraging interaction forces between charges to explore the effects of dynamic and static traffic factors on driving risks. Through complexity analysis, the number of coefficients in the proposed model was reduced by 36%–50% compared to other models. With parametric analysis and sensitivity analysis, the model's reliability was demonstrated. A path planner was designed by integrating the proposed driving risk field model into a model predictive controller for validating the efficacy of the proposed risk potential field model. The planned path with the proposed risk field model was also compared with existing risk potential field models. Results indicate that the proposed model can effectively account for both dynamic and static traffic factors, thereby supporting the path planner to generate highly adaptable paths for complex traffic scenarios.

Published: December 2024

Les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans le compactage des sols fins sont complexes : ils trouvent leurs explications dans la mécanique des sols non saturés ou quasi-saturés. Une planche de compactage composée de deux plots d’essai (un en aller simple, et un autre en aller-retour) a été réalisée sur un limon A2 selon le GTR (SETRA-LCPC, 1992). Une caractérisation complète avec des essais in situ (essais Panda, mesures au gammadensimètre), des essais de laboratoire (essais triaxiaux, compression simple, Proctor, mesures de succion, essais d’identification, …) et une instrumentation (contraintes totales et déformations dans les sens horizontaux et verticaux) permet de comparer les deux protocoles de compactage. Ces résultats suggèrent une meilleure efficacité du compactage par aller simple comparé au compactage classique par aller et retour.

Objetivo evaluar los efectos de la simpaticectomía Peri-Arterial periférica extendida en pacientes con isquemia distal crónica, refractaria al tratamiento médico; y comparar estos resultados con los diferentes reportes de la literatura.
Materiales y Métodos Estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y analítico, de una serie de 14 pacientes tratados entre los años 2005 y 2021; a los que se le realizó simpaticectomía peri arterial periférica extendida.
Resultados 11 mujeres y 3 varones con una edad promedio de 48 años (28-63). En 11 de los 14 casos se observó una mejoría y/o disminución en el número de lesiones ulceradas, y en todos los casos se constató una disminución franca del dolor, desde el primer día post operatorio.
Conclusiones La simpaticectomía peri arterial periférica extendida mejora y/o detiene las lesiones de la isquemia digital crónica.
Bulto dorsoradial de la muñeca: Desaparición de la tabaquera anatómica como un signo de “SLAC”

Published: December 2024

ResumenLa tabaquera anatómica, una región triangular en la porción dorso-radial de la muñeca, es un punto de referencia anatómico clave. Está delimitada por los tendones del extensor largo del pulgar, extensor corto del pulgar y abductor largo del pulgar, y alberga la arteria radial y ramas nerviosas. Patologías como quistes sinoviales, fracturas y osteofitos pueden alterar su apariencia. Estudios sobre lesiones del ligamento escafolunar (SLL) muestran que el daño crónico provoca el desplazamiento dorso-radial del escafoides, iniciando un proceso degenerativo conocido como colapso avanzado escafolunar (SLAC). Esto a menudo resulta en la "desaparición" de la tabaquera anatómica, lo que facilita la identificación de pacientes con muñeca SLAC junto con síntomas como dolor y rigidez. La afección es impulsada por la formación de osteofitos, subluxación del escafoides y sinovitis, lo que conduce a inestabilidad articular y deformidad. Los tratamientos tradicionales, como la estiloidectomía, pueden no resolver completamente la inestabilidad. Nuevos enfoques que consideran la dinámica tridimensional de la muñeca podrían ser más efectivos para manejar el SLAC. Estudios biomecánicos sugieren que las lesiones del SLL, junto con la pérdida de estabilizadores secundarios, provocan que el escafoides se pronuncie y flexione, resultando en una proyección dorso-radial dentro de la fosa del escafoides. Sin tratamiento, esto puede progresar a SLAC, frecuentemente caracterizado por el "bulto dorso-radial de la muñeca".

Published: December 2024

ResumenEl síndrome del lacertus fibroso (LF) es la causa más frecuente de compresión proximal del nervio mediano alrededor del codo. Se caracteriza por dolor en el antebrazo y debilidad en ciertos movimientos de la mano y muñeca.Es una patología habitualmente subdiagnosticada, que requiere de una alta sospecha clínica y una minuciosa exploración en el examen físico, dado que los exámenes complementarios de imágenes y electrodiagnóstico suelen no ser de utilidad.Inicialmente, es de tratamiento conservador, pero frente a la falla de este, la liberación quirúrgica puede estar indicada.La técnica de liberación del LF puede realizarse bajo una técnica de anestesia local sin sedación ni torniquete de isquemia (WALANT) lo que permite al cirujano evaluar en el intraoperatorio la recuperación inmediata de la fuerza de los grupos musculares comprometidos en esta condición. Los resultados funcionales postoperatorios han demostrado ser excelentes en cuanto a la resolución del dolor y la recuperación de la fuerzaEl síndrome de LF es frecuente, debe ser diagnosticado y tratado de manera correcta para lograr una resolución satisfactoria de la sintomatología.

Published: December 2024

ResumenA pesar de que entre el 30% y el 60% de los pacientes con exostosis cartilaginosa múltiple (ECM) presentan deformidad en el antebrazo, todavía no existe un consenso sobre el método preferido ni el momento ideal para el tratamiento, especialmente en pacientes adolescentes con múltiples lesiones, en quienes el momento del tratamiento puede tener un fuerte impacto psicológico, ya que el trastorno en el crecimiento óseo endocondral puede llevar a la inestabilidad articular y a deformidades graves de la extremidad afectada. El alargamiento del cúbito, la osteotomía del radio, la estabilización de la articulación radiocubital distal (ARCD) y la reducción de la cabeza radial pueden ser una buena estrategia para corregir la deformidad del miembro superior. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo mostrar una planificación y un procedimiento reproducibles para corregir la deformidad del radio, la subluxación de la articulación radiocapitelar, el cúbito minus, el equilibrio carpiano y la incongruencia de la ARCD en adolescentes tratados con el protocolo ABC (fijación externa híbrida y placa volar de radio utilizando un modelo 3D y métodos de planificación por software) en cinco adolescentes con ECM y deformidad en el antebrazo. Después de un año de la cirugía, los pacientes mostraron una puntuación DASH de 8 y una puntuación EVA de 1. En el examen radiográfico, el ángulo articular radial (AAR) fue de 21,55°, la inclinación palmar de 10°, la variación cubital (VC) de 1,2 mm, el deslizamiento carpiano (DC) de 64%, el centro de rotación de la angulación (CORA) de 1,1° hacia el cúbito / 21,95° hacia el radio, y el arqueamiento radial (AR) de 11,45 mm. La tasa de complicaciones fue del 20% (un paciente) que fue sometido a un re-alargamiento del cúbito para mejorar la congruencia de la ARCD. Se encontró que el protocolo ABC (fijación externa híbrida y placa volar de radio utilizando un modelo 3D y un sistema de planificación por software) es un método de tratamiento seguro y confiable para la deformidad del antebrazo en adolescentes con ECM.
Privileged interests on the party agenda: Bitcoin-related issues in two countries since 2020
Authors: van Spanje Joost , Ciobanu Costin , Sanna Greta Arancia 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWhat explains whether and how much political parties give attention to a policy issue? Parties are expected to cater to the interests of privileged groups and to be dismissive unless an issue offers an electoral opportunity. How to test this? Most issues have been around for so long that it has become difficult to track party responses. Ideally, a multifaceted phenomenon would fall from the sky and become favored by privileged groups, after which we would observe party reactions. Bitcoin fulfills these criteria. It has become significant, suited for various ideologies yet disproportionally supported by wealthy, highly educated male voters. In this paper, we study how new issues emerge around Bitcoin, and how parties respond. Voter attitudes, preferences, expectations, and Bitcoin ownership are taken from our 2020-2023 four-wave British (N=5,121) and Dutch (N=5,002) voter surveys. Party positions on Bitcoin are derived from our surveys of MPs and party representatives, cross-validated by party communication. Using issue yield theory, we find that weak electoral incentives, particularly due to age-related internal divisions, prevent parties from catering to privileged groups on Bitcoin issues. This suggests that a party system will not embrace elite interests, even on low-salience issues, under unfavorable public opinion alignments.

When applied to the Robertson–Walker metric, it simplifies the analysis of cosmological evolution by dividing the Einstein field equations into constraint and evolution equations. It introduces the lapse function N and the shift vector Ni

This approach allows for a more direct examination of the evolution of spatial geometry and offers flexibility in handling scenarios where the lapse function and shift vector vary. In this manuscript, we derive the model’s N, Ni
, along with the constraint and evolution equations, and demonstrate their consistency with the existing Einstein equations. We have shown in a previous paper that the possibility of changes in the speed of light in the Robertson–Walker metric is due to cosmological time dilation. Through the

Abstract
Piezoelectric energy harvesting is one of the important technologies for environmental monitoring sensors to realize self-power supply. In recent years, the technology of fluid-induced piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting for blunt body structures based on Karman vortex street effect has been widely studied. In order to further improve the efficiency of energy harvesting, a performance-enhanced method of Karman vortex street energy harvesting based on structural modification is proposed. Different pseudo-blunt bodies with concave surfaces are designed and combined with piezoelectric device to harvest energy. The finite element simulation results show that, compared with the cylindrical blunt body, the pseudo-blunt body with concave surface can enhance the turbulent action of the fluid and make the Karman vortex shedding more intense. Especially for the pseudo-blunt body with S-concave, the amplitude of Karman vortex street and the turbulent kinetic energy behind the pseudo-blunt is strongest. In addition, based on wind tunnel, the energy harvesting performance of Karman vortex behind a cylinder with different surface structures is experimentally studied. The experimental results show that the piezoelectric energy harvesting efficiency behind the cylindrical pseudo-blunt body with concave surface is better than that behind the cylindrical blunt body without concave surface. In particular, the S-concave pseudo-passivate has the best energy harvesting performance, with a peak output voltage of 23.6 V, an output voltage span of 31.2 V, a maximum current of up to 0.23 mA, and a maximum power density of up to 6.64 W m−3, which are 136% and 81% higher than that of the ordinary cylindrical passivate, with an increase in the maximum current of 155% and an increase in the optimal power density of 532%, respectively. The above results show that the concave-based pseudo-blunt body structure can effectively improve the efficiency of vortex energy harvesting using piezoelectric mechanism, which lays an important foundation for the development and application of piezoelectric vortex energy harvesting theory.
