Authors: Peng Jie , Yang Menglin , Li Guoli , Zhang Xiu , Huang Yanhua , Tang Yimei 
Published: September 2021

AbstractRestricted placental angiogenesis is an important cause of intrauterine growth retardation in piglets. During pregnancy, sow obesity can result in an increase in placental lipid deposition, subsequently inhibiting placental angiogenesis and fetal development. However, the effect of different types of fatty acids on placental angiogenesis is still unclear. Trophoblast cells and vascular endothelial cells constitute two important types of placental tissue. In this study, we used palmitic acid (C16:0) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5, n‐3), respectively, to treat porcine trophectoderm cells (pTr2) and porcine iliac artery endothelial cells (PIEC) to study the effects of saturated fatty acids and n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on placental angiogenesis in vitro. We found that C16:0 caused significant cytotoxicity in pTr2 and PIEC (p < 0.01) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of PIEC (p < 0.01), whereas C20:5 treatment exhibited very low cytotoxicity and minimal inhibition of cellular proliferation. Meanwhile, a low concentration of C16:0 had no effect on the tube formation in PIEC, whereas C20:5 significantly promoted tube formation of PIEC (p < 0.01). These results suggested that saturated fatty acids and n‐3 PUFAs had different effects on placental angiogenesis. As essential functional fatty acid, n‐3 PUFA might be effective measure in alleviating the placental lipotoxicity caused by sow obesity during pregnancy.

Published: September 2021

AbstractA 6‐year‐old female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) kept in dolphinarium died after a 3.5‐month period of lethargy and inappetence despite antibiotics and supportive care. At necropsy, gross findings included diffuse varying‐sized nodules in the lungs and scattered nodules throughout the heart, spleen, mesenteric and hilar lymph node and kidney. Microscopically, the lesions were characterised by disseminated fungal pyogranulomas with numerous intralesional Mucor‐like fungi. The fungi structures were demonstrated by Periodic acid‐Schiff and Gomori methenamine silver stain. Molecular analyses of the fungi were Rhizopus microsporus by PCR sequencing 18S ribosomal RNA gene. Ziehl–Neelsen stain failed to show acid‐fast bacterial infection. Based on pathological and molecular examination, systemic granulomatous mucormycosis was diagnosed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of systemic mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus microsporus in bottlenose dolphin.

AbstractMononuclear chelates of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) resulted from new tridentate Schiff base ligand, 4‐((1‐(5‐acetyl‐2,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)amino)‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3(2H)‐one, were synthesized. Metal to ligand ratio was found to be1 : 1, which was revealed via elemental analysis and characterized via various spectroscopic tools. IR has point out that the coordination of the ligand towards the metal ions was carried out via NOO donor atoms. UV‐Vis,1H NMR spectral data, molar conductivity measurements, BET surface area, melting points and theoretically through density function theory were used such as characterizing techniques in supporting further interpretation of the complexes structures. The complexes were octahedral except Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes were tetrahedral as suggested from the magnetic moment measurement. The complexes were found to have surface area, pore volume and particle radius of 23–176 m2 g−1, 0.02‐0.33 cc/g and 8.71‐4.32 nm, respectively, as pointed out from BET measurement. Schiff base ligand and metal complexes were testedin vitroto estimate their antimicrobial activity opposed to Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacterial and fungal organisms. MOE 2008 was used headed for screen potential drugs with molecular docking by the protein sites of new coronavirus and the study was constructed to molecular docking without validation through MD simulations.

Authors: Avramov Konstantin 
Published: September 2021

AbstractFree nonlinear oscillations of cantilever cylindrical shell are studied. The Sanders‐Koiter shell theory and Donnell's nonlinear shell theory are used to obtain the mathematical model of the structure vibrations. Using the assumed‐mode technique, the finite‐DOFs nonlinear dynamical system, which describes the free nonlinear oscillations of the cylindrical shell, is obtained. The harmonic balance technique is applied to analyze free nonlinear vibrations. The Rayleigh‐ Ritz technique is implemented to analyze the structure linear vibrations. The properties of the system linear vibrations are analyzed using the results, which are obtained by the Rayleigh‐ Ritz technique and the commercial software ANSYS. The soft backbone curve is obtained to describe free nonlinear vibrations.
Foundational Concepts of Military Logistics
Authors: van Fenema Paul C. , van Kampen Ton 
Published: September 2021

AbstractMilitary logistics can be seen as a set of processes that supports military organizations in their development into a capable and functional sustaining military force. Thus, the objective of this chapter is to bring to the forefront and elaborate on some of the foundational premises of military logistics as it is portrayed in its body of literature. To guide this presentation, a generic model is presented which relates logistics’ process and structure sides to its generic and mission specific sides. After these generic foundations, two deep dive themes are explored:strategic alignment of resources and logistics managementandstrategic defense supply chain security management. Recent historic cases illustrate the two themes. The chapter concludes with new ideas on military logistics innovation and draws attention to innovation and performance challenges in the context of military organizations cooperation.
What Diagrams Are Considered Useful for Solving Mathematical Word Problems in Japan?
Authors: Ayabe Hiroaki , Manalo Emmanuel , Fukuda Mari , Sadato Norihiro 
Published: September 2021

AbstractPrevious studies have shown that diagram use is effective in mathematical word problem solving. However, they have also revealed that students manifest many problems in using diagrams for such purposes. A possible reason is an inadequacy in students’ understanding of variations in types of problems and the corresponding kinds of diagrams appropriate to use. In the present study, a preliminary investigation was undertaken of how such correspondences between problem types and kinds of diagrams are represented in textbooks. One government-approved textbook series for elementary school level in Japan was examined for the types of mathematical word problems, and the kinds of diagrams presented with those problems. The analyses revealed significant differences in association between kinds of diagrams and types of problems. More concrete diagrams were included with problems involving change, combination, variation, and visualization of quantities; while number lines were more often used with comparison and variation problems. Tables and graphs corresponded to problems requiring organization of quantities; and more concrete diagrams and graphs to problems involving quantity visualization. These findings are considered in relation to the crucial role of textbooks and other teaching materials in facilitating strategy knowledge acquisition in students.

Published: September 2021

ZusammenfassungUntersuchungsgegenstand des Forschungsprojekts, dessen Ergebnisse in diesem Buch dargestellt werden, sind die Auswirkungen der Reformen des deutschen Hochschulsystems („Bologna“, „Exzellenzinitiative“ und „New Public Management“) auf die berufliche Identität von ProfessorInnen. Welche Identitätsbedrohungen, aber auch -chancen gehen von den Reformmaßnahmen, insbesondere von vielfältigen Leistungsbewertungen, aus, und mit welchen Praktiken der Identitätsbehauptung und -darstellung reagieren ProfessorInnen darauf? In diesem Kapitel werden die Relevanz der Fragestellung, ein theoretischer Bezugsrahmen zu ihrer Analyse sowie die empirische Herangehensweise geschildert. Zentrale Datengrundlage der Untersuchung sind Leitfadeninterviews mit ProfessorInnen aus fünf verschiedenen Wissenschaftsgebieten (Zellbiologie, Nachrichten- und Hochfrequenztechnik, Vergleichende Regierungslehre, Strafrecht und Neuere Deutsche Literaturwissenschaft).
Zwischen Traditionsbewahrung und Modernisierungsbereitschaft: Professorale Ansprüche an Lehre und Forschung
Authors: Janßen Melike , Schimank Uwe , Sondermann Ariadne 
Published: September 2021

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Kapitel beginnt die Interviewauswertung. Es geht zunächst darum, Vorstellungen der ProfessorInnen darüber herauszuarbeiten, was ‚gute‘ Lehre und Forschung jeweils ausmacht. Denn diese Vorstellungen sind als Identitätskomponenten der Maßstab, anhand dessen die von den Reformvorhaben hervorgebrachten Strukturveränderungen, insbesondere die mit Leistungsbewertungen verbundenen, beurteilt werden. Bereits hier werden, bei vielen Gemeinsamkeiten der meisten Befragten, Unterschiede zwischen den Wissenschaftsgebieten sowie zwischen den Karrierestufen erkennbar. Deutlich wird aber auch bereits, dass die im Mediendiskurs über die Hochschulreformen dominierende journalistische Darstellung von ProfessorInnen als Besitzstandswahrern und nur an Forschung Interessierten ein Zerrbild zeichnet.
Einleitung
Authors: Klie Anna Wiebke 
Published: September 2021

ZusammenfassungSeit vielen Jahrzehnten gibt es in Deutschland Migrantenselbstorganisationen (im Folgenden kurz: MSO), unter denen mit einer konsensorientierten Definition in der vorliegenden Arbeit Organisationen verstanden werden, die von einst zugewanderten Menschen oder deren Nachfahren gegründet wurden und deren Mitglieder mehrheitlich eine Zuwanderungsgeschichte besitzen. Die Geschichte der MSO in Deutschland beginnt mit der Ankunft der sogenannten „Gastarbeiter“ in den 1950/60er Jahren aufgrund der Abschlüsse von Anwerbeverträgen der Bundesrepublik mit Italien (1955), Griechenland und Spanien (1960), der Türkei (1961), Marokko (1963), Portugal (1964), Tunesien (1965) sowie Jugoslawien (1968). Der Zuzug fand überwiegend aufgrund der aktiven Anwerbung von Arbeitsmigranten sowie den Beschäftigungsgesuchen der Vertragsländer statt.
Engagement und Zivilgesellschaft: Konzeptualisierung und gesellschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen

Published: September 2021

ZusammenfassungEinem konsensfähigen Verständnis zufolge bezeichnet freiwilliges,zivilgesellschaftliches oder bürgerschaftliches Engagement eine freiwillige, nicht auf materiellen Gewinn ausgerichtete, in der Regel gemeinschaftlich-kooperativ und mit Gemeinwohlorientierung im öffentlichen Raum ausgeübte konkrete Aufgabe oder Arbeit (Heinze/Olk 2001; Enquete 2002: 38; Alscher et al. 2009: 10; BMFSFJ 2017: 68 ff.). Damit handelt es sich bei freiwilligem Engagement nicht um gemeinschaftlich ausgeübte Aktivitäten im Sinne eines „Mitmachens“ ohne eine konkrete Aufgabenübernahme, wie es etwa bei der Teilnahme an einem Wettkampf im Rahmen eines Sportfestes der Fall wäre.
A Study of Bio-Computational Design in Terms of Enhancing Water Absorption by Method of Bionics Within the Architectural Fields
Authors: Mao Gang 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThis essay aims to explore an architecture computational design intended to accept and absorb moisture through geometrical and material conditions, and using design strategies, help deliver this moisture upwards through capillary action to areas of cryptogamic growth including mosses and smaller ferns on the surface of architecture. The purpose of this research project is to explore the morphology of general capillary systems based on research into the principle of xylematic structures in trees, thereby creating a range of capillary designs using three types of material: plaster, 3D print plastic, and concrete. In addition, computational studies are used to examine various types of computational designs of organic structures, such as columns, driven by physical and environmental conditions such as sunshine, shade, tides and other biological processes to explore three-dimensional particle-based branching systems that define both structural and water delivery paths.

AbstractThis paper presents an integrated design method for the customization and lightweight design of free-shaped wearable devices, illustrated by a lower limb exoskeleton. The customized design space is derived from the 3D scanning models. Based on the finite element analysis, the structural framework is determined through topology optimization with allowable strength. By means of generative design, the lattice library is constructed to fill the frames under different conformal algorithms. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated by the exoskeleton design case.

Published: September 2021

AbstractThis paper aims to improve users’ experience in affective interactive installations through the diversification of interfaces. With logically organized hierarchical experience, diverse interfaces with emotion data as inputs enhance users’ emotional interaction to be more natural and immersive. By using facial affect detection technology, an installation with diverse input interfaces was tested with an organic formal setting. Mechanical flowers and support structure based on the organic form were deployed as its physical output for a multitude of sensorial dimensions. With actions of the mechanical flowers, such as blooming, closing, rotating, glowing and blinking, a layered experiential sequence was created and the atmosphere of the installation was evaluated to be more engaging. In this way, the layered complexity of information was transferred to users’ immersive emotional experience. We believe that the practices in this work can contribute to deeper emotional engagement with users and add new layers of emotional interactivity.
Subjectively Measured Streetscape Qualities for Shanghai with Large-Scale Application of Computer Vision and Machine Learning

Published: September 2021

AbstractRecently, many new studies emerged to apply computer vision (CV) to street view imagery (SVI) dataset to objectively extract the view indices of various streetscape features such as trees to proxy urban scene qualities. However, human perceptions (e.g., imageability) have a subtle relationship to visual elements which cannot be fully captured using view indices. Conversely, subjective measures using survey and interview data explain more human behaviors. However, the effectiveness of integrating subjective measures with SVI dataset has been less discussed. To address this, we integrated crowdsourcing, CV, and machine learning (ML) to subjectively measure four important perceptions suggested by classical urban design theory. We first collected experts’ rating on sample SVIs regarding the four qualities which became the training labels. CV segmentation was applied to SVI samples extracting streetscape view indices as the explanatory variables. We then trained ML models and achieved high accuracy in predicting the scores. We found a strong correlation between predicted complexity score and the density of urban amenities and services Point of Interests (POI), which validates the effectiveness of subjective measures. In addition, to test the generalizability of the proposed framework as well as to inform urban renewal strategies, we compared the measured qualities in Pudong to other five renowned urban cores worldwide. Rather than predicting perceptual scores directly from generic image features using convolution neural network, our approach follows what urban design theory suggested and confirms various streetscape features affecting multi-dimensional human perceptions. Therefore, its result provides more interpretable and actionable implications for policymakers and city planners.

Published: September 2021

AbstractThe additive manufacturing process is gaining momentum in the construction industry with the rapid progression of large-scale 3D printed technologies. An established method of increasing the structural performance of concrete is by wrapping it with Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP). This paper proposes a novel additive process to fabricate a FRP formwork by dynamic layer winding of the FRP fabric with epoxy resin paired with an industrial scale robotic arm. A range of prototypes were fabricated to explore and study the fabrication parameters. Based on the systemic exploration, the limitations, the scope, and the feasibility of the proposed additive manufacturing method is studied for large scale customisable structural formworks.
Punch Card Patterns Designed with GAN
Authors: Melnyk Virginia Ellyn 
Published: September 2021

AbstractKnitting punch cards codify different stitch patterns into binary patterns, telling the machine when to change color or to generate different stitch types. This research utilizes Neural Networks (NN) and image-based Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an image database of knitting punch cards, to generate new punch card designs. The hypothesis is that artificial intelligence will learn the basic underlying structures of the punch cards and the pattern makeup that is inherent across patterns of different styles and cultures. Different neural networks were utilized throughout the research, such as Neural Style Transfer (NST), AdaIN Style Transfers, and StyleGAN2. The results from these explorations offer different insights into pattern design and various outcomes of the different neural networks. Ultimately physically testing these punch card designs, these patterns were knit on a domestic knitting machine, resulting in novel fabrication and design techniques that are both digital and craft-based.
A closer look at observables from exclusive semileptonic B → (π, ρ)ℓνℓ decays
Authors: Biswas Aritra , Nandi Soumitra 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
This article analyses the available inputs in B → πℓνℓ and B → ρℓνℓ decays which include the measured values of differential rate in different q2-bins (lepton invariant mass spectrum), lattice, and the newly available inputs on the relevant form-factors from the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) approach. We define different fit scenarios, and in each of these scenarios, we predict a few observables in the standard model (SM). For example, $$ R(M)=\frac{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to M{\ell}_i{\nu}_{\ell_i}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to M{\ell}_j{\nu}_{\ell_j}\right)},{R}_{\ell_j}^{\ell_i}(M)=\frac{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to {\ell}_i{\nu}_{\ell_i}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left(B\to M{\ell}_j{\nu}_{\ell_j}\right)} $$

We also discuss the new physics (NP) sensitivities of all these observables and obtain bounds on a few NP Wilson coefficients in b → uτντ decays using the available data. We have noted that the data at present allows sizeable NP contributions in this mode. Also, we have predicted a few angular observables relevant to these decay modes.
Reassortant Highly Pathogenic H5N6 Avian Influenza Virus Containing Low Pathogenic Viral Genes in a Local Live Poultry Market, Vietnam

Published: September 2021

AbstractSites of live poultry trade and marketing are hot spots for avian influenza virus (AIV) transmission. We conducted active surveillance at a local live poultry market (LPM) in northern Vietnamese provinces in December 2016. Feces samples from the market were collected and tested for AIV. A new reassorted AIV strain was isolated from female chickens, named A/chicken/Vietnam/AI-1606/2016 (H5N6), and was found to belong to group C of clade 2.3.4.4 H5N6 highly pathogenic (HP) AIVs. The neuraminidase gene belongs to the reassortant B type. The viral genome also contained polymerase basic 2 and polymerase acidic, which were most closely related to domestic-duck-origin low pathogenic AIVs in Japan (H3N8) and Mongolia (H4N6). The other six genes were most closely related to poultry-origin H5N6 HP AIVs in Vietnam and had over 97% sequence identity with human AIV isolate A/Guangzhou/39715/2014 (H5N6). The new reassorted AIV isolate A/chicken/Vietnam/AI-1606/2016 (H5N6) identified in this study exemplifies AIVs reassortment and evolution through contact among wild birds, poultry farms, and LPMs. Therefore, active surveillance of AIVs is necessary to prevent potential threats to human and animal health.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Purpose
To determine sweating responses of pre-pubertal children during intermittent exercise in a warm environment and create whole-body maps of regional sweat rate (RSRs) distribution across the body.

Methods
Thirteen pre-pubertal children; six girls and seven boys (8.1 ± 0.8 years) took part. Sweat was collected using the technical absorbent method in the last 5 min of a 30-min intermittent exercise protocol performed at 30 ℃, 40% relative humidity and 2 m·s−1 frontal wind.

Results
Mean gross sweat loss (GSL) was 126 ± 47 g·m−2·h−1 and metabolic heat production was 278 ± 50 W·m2. The lower anterior torso area had the lowest RSR with a median (IQR) sweat rate (SR) of 40 (32) g·m−2·h−1. The highest was the forehead with a median SR of 255 (163) g·m−2·h−1. Normalised sweat maps (the ratio of each region’s SR to the mean SR for all measured pad regions) showed girls displayed lower ratio values at the anterior and posterior torso, and higher ratios at the hands, feet and forehead compared to boys. Absolute SRs were similar at hands and feet, but girls sweated less in most other areas, even after correction for metabolic rate.

Conclusion
Pre-pubertal children have different RSRs across the body, also showing sex differences in sweat distribution. Distributions differ from adults. Hands and feet RSR remain stable, but SR across other body areas increase with maturation. These data can increase specificity of models of human thermoregulation, improve the measurement accuracy of child-sized thermal manikins, and aid companies during product design and communication.
