Published: November 2021

Ants are among the most abundant organisms on Earth, being adapted for living on different solid surfaces. However, in some habitats, like riparian forests and flooded plains, water can be a constant obstacle, and overcoming this obstacle can be essential to determine the persistence of ants in such habitats. While most ant species avoid the water during a flood by foraging at higher elevations or climbing on trees, a few species developed ways to overcome this obstacle by swimming. Here, we report, for the first time, ants of the species Linepthema micans (Forel 1908) performing rafts. We observed 14 rafts in three consecutive days at approximately 1400 meters a.s.l. in Serra do Cipó, Brazil. Notably, this is the first record of ant rafting in tropical mountaintop grasslands, which are extreme habitats with shallow and sandy soils, and where small temporary water pools are extremely common in the wet season.

Abstract
We are devoted to the study of a semilinear time fractional Rayleigh-Stokes problem on ℝ
N
, which is derived from a non-Newtonain fluid for a generalized second grade fluid with Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. We show that a solution operator involving the Laplacian operator is very effective to discuss the proposed problem. In this paper, we are concerned with the global/local well-posedness of the problem, the approaches rely on the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities, operator theory, standard fixed point technique and harmonic analysis methods. We also present several results on the continuation, a blow-up alternative with a blow-up rate and the integrability in Lebesgue spaces.

Published: November 2021

AbstractThe cornea is a part of the anterior segment of the eye that plays an essential optical role in refracting the light rays on the retina. Cornea also preserves the shape of an eyeball and constitutes a mechanical barrier, protecting the eye against the factors of the external environment. The structure of the cornea influences its biomechanical properties and ensures appropriate mechanical load transfer (that depends on the external environment and the intraocular pressure) while maintaining its shape (to a certain extent) and its transparency. The assessment of the corneal biomechanics is important in clinical ophthalmology, e.g. in the diagnosis of ectatic corneal diseases, for precise planning of the refractive surgery, and in accurate determination of the intraocular pressure. A standard technique to determine corneal biomechanics requires the application of well-defined mechanical stimulus (e.g. air puff) and performing simultaneous imaging of the response of the tissue to the stimulus. A number of methods to assess the biomechanical properties of the cornea have been developed, including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical methods as visualization modalities. Commercially available methods include the ocular response analyzer (ORA) and corneal visualization scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST). Currently advanced research is conducted using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The extension of OCT called optical coherence elastography (OCE) possesses high clinical potential due to the imaging speed, noncontact character, and high resolution of images.
Estimating the potential of wind energy resources using Weibull parameters: A case study of the coastline region of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Michael Enock , Tjahjana Dominicus Danardono Dwi Prija , Prabowo Aditya Rio 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the graphical method (GM) and standard deviation method (SDM), based on analyses and efficient Weibull parameters by estimating future wind energy potential in the coastline region of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Hence, the conclusion from the numerical method comparisons will also determine suitable wind turbines that are cost-effective for the study location. The wind speed data for this study were collected by the Tanzania Meteorological Authority Dar es Salaam station over the period of 2017 to 2019. The two numerical methods introduced in this study were both found to be appropriate for Weibull distribution parameter estimation in the study area. However, the SDM gave a higher value of the Weibull parameter estimation than the GM. Furthermore, the five selected commercial wind turbine models that were simulated in terms of performance were based on a capacity factor using the SDM and were both over 25% the recommended capacity factor value. The Polaris P50-500 commercial wind turbine is recommend as a suitable wind turbine to be installed in the study area due to its maximum annual capacity factor value over 3 years.
Analysis of the aging mechanism and life evaluation of elastomers in simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cell environments
Authors: Li Guo , Zhu Dasheng , Jia Wenhua , Zhang Feng 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper studies the aging mechanism of elastomeric gaskets made from silicone rubbers in simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in humid, acidic, and high-temperature environments. The changes in the surface morphology are observed using optical microscopy. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (AFT-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are used to investigate the changes in the chemical molecular structure. The stress relaxation test is conducted to characterize the decay process of the mechanical properties. The results indicate that cracks appear on the surface and that the aging mechanism is mainly due to decomposition in the backbone and hydrolysis of the crosslinking. The stress relaxation modulus decreases as the acid concentration increases, which suggests a decrease in elasticity and an increase in brittleness. A master curve that relates time and concentration is constructed. Based on this inference, the experimental time can be shortened by about four times.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Connecting transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory networks solves an important puzzle in the elucidation of gene regulatory mechanisms. To decipher the complexity of these connections, we build co-expression network modules for mRNA as well as miRNA expression profiles of breast cancer data. We construct gene and miRNA co-expression modules using the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) method and establish the significance of these modules (Genes/miRNAs) for cancer phenotype. This work also infers an interaction network between the genes of the turquoise module from mRNA expression data and hubs of the turquoise module from miRNA expression data. A pathway enrichment analysis using a miRsystem web tool for miRNA hubs and some of their targets, reveal their enrichment in several important pathways associated with the progression of cancer.

Published: November 2021

Abstract

Context
Although pudendal neuralgia (PN) has received growing interest over the last few years, diagnosis remains difficult, and many different therapeutic approaches can be considered.

Objectives
This article aims to provide an overview of the possible treatments of PN and investigate their efficacies.

Methods
Utilizing PubMed and ScienceDirect databases, a systematic review was carried out and allowed identification of studies involving patients with PN, as defined by Nantes criteria, and their associated treatments. Relevant data were manually reported.

Results
Twenty-eight articles were selected, totaling 1,013 patients (mean age, 49 years) and six different types of interventions. Clinical outcomes, most frequently quantified utilizing the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), vary greatly with both the therapy and time after intervention (from 100 to <10%). However, neither peri nor postoperative serious complications (grade > II of Clavien–Dindo classification) are reported. Although surgery seems to provide a higher proportion of long-term benefits, identifying the most efficient therapeutic approach is made impossible by the multitude of outcome measurements and follow-up frequencies. It should also be noted that literature is sparse regarding randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up.

Conclusions
Although there are a number of modalities utilized for the treatment of PN, there are no current recommendations based on treatment efficacies. This seems to be largely in part caused by the lack of standardization in outcome quantification. Future research in this field should focus on prospective cohort studies with high levels of evidence, aimed at assessing the long-term, if not permanent, benefits of available therapies.

Abstract
The stump-tailed porcupine, Coendou rufescens, is a widely distributed but scarcely documented species inhabiting the Andean region of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and an isolated population in Bolivia. Despite the wide distribution different aspects on its biology and ecology are still unknown. We present an update to the distribution of C. rufescens, and recent observations on the anatomy, natural history, and conservation in Colombia. For this, we described the male genitalia and present data on reproductive periods, plants used and consumed, and threats. The distribution of C. rufescens comprises 12 ecoregions in an area of 376,225 km2 for the northern group (Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru) and 393 km2 for the southern group (Bolivia). The highest elevational record is in Ecuador (4387 m), being the porcupine inhabiting at highest elevations. The anatomy of the glans is similar to that observed in Coendou quichua and constitutes the second species of Coendou with available information on glans morphology. C. rufescens consumes fruits and leaves of potato cider (Sechium edule: Cucurbitaceae) and woody shrub (Bejaria: Ericacea), and usually perches even in exotic species such as pines. Finally, common treats for the species in Colombia are related to hunting pressures, predation by domestic dogs, and roadkills.

Deep learning for tilted-wave interferometry
Authors: Hoffmann Lara , Fortmeier Ines , Elster Clemens 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The tilted-wave interferometer is an interferometrical measurement system for the accurate optical form measurement of optical aspheres and freeform surfaces. Its evaluation procedure comprises a high-dimensional inverse problem to reconstruct the form of the surface under test from measured data. Recent work has used a deep learning hybrid approach to solve the inverse problem successfully in a simulation environment. A quantification of the model uncertainty was incorporated using ensemble techniques. In this paper, we expand the application of the deep learning approach from simulations to measured data and show that it produces results similar to those of a state-of-the-art method in a real-world environment.
Resultatives and low depictives in English
Authors: Ausensi Josep , Bigolin Alessandro 
Published: November 2021

AbstractWe argue against a purely semantic account of the Unique Path Constraint (Goldberg, Adele. 1991. It can’t go down the chimney up: Paths and the English resultative. InProceedings of the seventeenth annual meeting of theBerkeley Linguistics Society, 368–378.), i.e., the constraint that there can only be one result state in a single clause, and in favor of a syntactic restriction regarding event structure. We propose, following Mateu, Jaume & Víctor Acedo-Matellán. 2012. The manner/result complementarity revisited: A syntactic approach. In M. Cristina Cuervo & Yves Roberge (eds.),The end of argument structure? Syntax and semantics, 209–228. New York: Academic Press, that structurally there can only be one result predicate per clause since the littlevhead selects for one result predicate as its complement. In order to make our claim, we provide novel data that violate the Unique Path Constraint defined as a semantic constraint. Further, we analyze examples that at first blush pose a problem for the present account as they appear to involve two result phrases, e.g.,shot him dead off the horse. We argue, however, that the second result phrase is not syntactically a result, but rather constitutes a case of what Acedo-Matellán, Víctor, Josep Ausensi, Josep Maria Fontana & Cristina Real-Puigdollers. forthcoming. Old Spanish resultatives as low depictives. In Chad L. Howe, Timothy Gupton, Margaret Renwick & Pilar Chamorro (eds.),Open romance linguistics 1. Selected papers from the 49th linguistic symposium on romance languages. Berlin: Language Science Press have called low depictives, which join the syntactic derivation through a low applicative head.
Simultaneous neutron powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy – an approach of combining two complementary techniques
Authors: Finger Raphael , Hansen Thomas C. , Kohlmann Holger 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Diffraction techniques are well-established methods for crystal structure determination as well as phase identification and quantification. Raman spectroscopy can be a valuable complementary characterization technique, because in contrast to the former it yields also information on amorphous materials and it is a probe for short-range structural effects. The herein presented setup allows for simultaneous neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, shown with a sample of lead sulfate under ambient conditions as a proof of principle. In order to fulfil requirements of both methods, a sapphire single-crystal is used as a sample holder. Practical considerations for successful simultaneous in situ neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopic measurements are given.
Effects of Strength Training on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Variability—A Systematic Review
Authors: Corso Marcelo , de Figueiredo Tiago C. , Carvalho Danilo , Brown Amanda F. , de Salles Belmiro F. , Simão Roberto , Willardson Jeffrey M. , Dias Ingrid 
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACTStrength training (ST) has been studied for acute and chronic effects on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV). These effects have never been reviewed collectively concerning the variables that comprise a ST program. Therefore, this review aims to examine the manipulation of ST variables (i.e., load intensity, number of sets and repetitions, exercise order, and rest interval length) on BP and HRV after a session and a long-term program. The BP reduced significantly after an ST session independently of the load intensity, the number of sets and repetitions, the rest interval length, the mode, and the participant characteristic (healthy patients or patients with chronic disease). However, a high number of sets and repetitions, prioritizing multijoint exercises, with longer rest interval lengths between sets and exercises may potentiate these effects. In the HRV analyses, most of the trials showed a sympathetic predominance after an ST session. Hence, it is reasonable to confirm that central adjustments are responsible to control hemodynamics after an ST session.
Effect of Repetition Duration—Total and in Different Muscle Actions—On the Development of Strength, Power, and Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review
Authors: Moreno-Villanueva Adrián , Pino-Ortega José , Rico-González Markel 
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT
The aim of this systematic review was (a) to identify the articles that have differentiated muscle action duration (MAD) in the eccentric (ECC) and concentric (CON) muscle action regimen during resistance training (RT) programs and (b) to analyze how MAD affects strength, power, and muscle hypertrophy adaptations. Twenty-four studies were included from 3 electronic databases. The results showed that the RT protocols with medium ECC MAD and fast CON MAD, specifically cadences 2–4/0/1/0, produced the highest improvement values for the development of maximum dynamic strength, both in trained (18–24%) and untrained subjects (10–14%). For the development of maximum power, a medium total repetition MAD of less than 4 seconds and slow total repetition MAD, less than 8 seconds, seems suitable for untrained and trained subjects, respectively, with the condition that CON MAD is explosive or fast (cadence 4–8/0/max-3/0). Finally, muscle hypertrophy could be improved with a total repetition MAD less than 8 seconds in both trained and untrained subjects. The optimal timing of each muscle action to maximize hypertrophic training results is still not entirely clear. In conclusion, the prescription of the MAD, total and phase specific, should be planned according to the adaptations desired in untrained and trained individuals.

Abstract
To analyze the dynamic response of the deck pavement of continuous box girder bridge with variable section corrugated steel webs (CBB) under moving loads, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of three-span CBB superstructure was established using the finite element software ABAQUS. The validity of the 3D finite element model was verified by the field static load test data. Five vehicle speeds (40 km/h, 60 km/h, 80 km/h, 100 km/h, and 120 km/h), four types of axle loads (5 kN, 25 kN, 30 kN, and 40 kN), and three kinds of load positions were selected. The dynamic responses of the CBB deck pavement, displacement, stress, acceleration, and impact coefficient were calculated. The results showed that under the action of moving loads, the maximum values of vertical displacement and vertical stress appeared on the top surface of deck pavement. The longitudinal shear stress of deck pavement of CBB increased with the increase of pavement depth, and it reached the maximum value at the top of concrete pavement. With the increase of vehicle speed, the impact coefficient, vertical displacement, and transverse stress of the top surface of deck pavement gradually decreased, which indicated that the stress of deck pavement was significantly impacted by the vehicle speed and axle load, while its vertical displacement was less influenced. Under the eccentric load, the large transverse torsion would be produced in the CBB and the more the load deviates from the centerline of the cross section of the CBB, the greater the vibration amplitude of the vertical acceleration generated by the mid-span node on the surface of the deck pavement. Therefore, the low vehicle speed and eccentric load had a great impact on the structural safety response of deck pavement. In practical engineering, it is necessary to avoid vehicles driving at low speeds on one side of the bridge.
Asymmetric circular graph with Hosoya index and negative continued fractions
Authors: Komatsu T. 
Published: November 2021

It has been known that the Hosoya index of caterpillar graph can be calculated as the numerator of the simple continued fraction. Recently in [MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 2020, 84 (2), 399-428], the author introduces a more general graph called caterpillar-bond graph and shows that its Hosoya index can be calculated as the numerator of the general continued fraction.
In this paper, we show how the Hosoya index of the graph with non-uniform ring structure can be calculated from the negative continued fraction. We also give the relation between some radial graphs and multidimensional continued fractions in the sense of the Hosoya index.
