Geometric morphometrics as a tool for evaluating Eublastoidea morphological variation
Authors: Anderson Lian C. , Bauer Jennifer E. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Geometric morphometrics facilitates the quantification and visualization of variation in shape and proportion through the comparison of homologous features. Eublastoidea, a Paleozoic echinoderm clade with a conservative body plan, is an ideal group for morphometric analysis, because their plate junctions are homologous and identifiable on all species. Eublastoids have previously been grouped taxonomically by generalized shape types (e.g., globose). These shapes are often used in taxonomic descriptions and as characters in phylogenetic analyses. The underlying homology of these broad shape types has never been explored. Herein we apply the first comprehensive use of three-dimensional geometric morphometrics (3D GMM) on fossil echinoderms to investigate taxonomic assignments, temporal distribution, and whether the varying proportions of skeletal elements that produce the gross thecal morphology are distinguishable. Taxonomic assignments specifically at the ordinal and family levels show varying amounts of overlap in morphospace, suggesting that many assignments may not be reevaluated. Our results suggest that none of the generalized shape types are distinct in morphospace and, therefore, likely do not capture the homologous changes in taxa. The plate circlet ratios showed trends specifically relating to the deltoid plate circlet, which has the most variability. We reanalyzed previous work and subsetted our data to be more comparable and found that there are key differences between methodologies and landmarks that will require future evaluation. Applying modern technological methods to previously explored questions allows for an updated understanding of this important fossil clade and provides a framework for others to assess fossil clades in a similar manner.
Mining and Climate Change Alters Water Storage and Streamflow Dynamics of Northern Peatland‐Dominated Catchments

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) of northern Ontario, a globally significant carbon store, are characterized by expansive peatland complexes of patterned bogs and fens, which play a vital role in regional water regulation. These peatlands are threatened by disturbance from large‐scale resource extraction and projected climate change, both of which have the potential to compromise their ecohydrological function. Field measurements and numerical modeling were used to investigate the hydrological responses of peatlands and downgradient streamflow as a consequence of disturbance from mining and shifts in climate, individually and in combination. Mine dewatering reduced groundwater storage by as much as 150 mm, equivalent to a water table lowering of 75 cm, thereby decreasing annual streamflow by 66% in impacted tributaries. Although the projected increases to precipitation and evapotranspiration due to climate change were approximately balanced, resulting in minor changes to storage, there were pronounced shifts in the temporal patterns of streamflow, with a diminished snowmelt and spring freshet occurring a month earlier. When considering the cumulative impacts of climate change coupled with mining, a potential shift in peatland ecohydrology toward new equilibria is plausible, implying altered water movement across the landscape and compromised ecosystem function. This study emphasizes the critical need for further monitoring and modeling efforts to characterize the thresholds and mechanisms driving these ecohydrological changes. This research will guide future investigations on the implications of disturbance on local and regional hydrologic connectivity and facilitate the protection of peatland ecosystems in the HBL and other northern peatland‐dominated landscapes.

To ensure the reliable management of the safe operation of an underground pipeline in a chemical industrial park and accurately determine the location of the pipeline leakage point, a precise location method for the leakage point of an underground pipeline in a chemical industrial park based on ultrasonic creeping wave flaw detection and data integration is proposed. In this method, the ultrasonic creeping wave flaw detector is used to detect the underground pipelines in the chemical industry park and obtain the status signals of the underground pipelines in the chemical industry park. The improved K-means algorithm is used to fuse the signals collected by clustering to obtain abnormal signals in the signals; The wavelet transform is used to process the ultrasonic abnormal signals obtained by clustering, extract the local time energy density characteristics of the frequency band, and superimpose the image. By introducing image enhancement factors, the leakage area can be centrally located, the coordinates of the pipeline leakage points can be determined, and the leakage degree can be determined by calculating the sum of the damage probability of each leakage point. The test results show that the clustering effect of this method is good, and the separability measurement indexes are all above 0.925, which can complete the location of single point and multi-point leakage points, and the maximum location error is 11.55 mm. The reliability of the location of the leakage point is high.

Bone Biopsies: Practical Considerations and Technical Tips
Authors: Williams Andrew E. , Ho Jessie W. , Sundaram Narayan 
Published: December 2024

AbstractPercutaneous image-guided needle biopsies are a safe and minimally invasive method of obtaining tissue of bone lesions. Radiologists are an integral part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach to patient care in obtaining tissue for both pathologic diagnosis and advanced genetic/molecular testing. By utilizing image guidance, radiologists can target bone lesions with a very low complication rate. This review will discuss our approach to image-guided biopsies of bone lesions. Radiologists should be familiar with patient selection and imaging workup prior to performing biopsies, as well as the importance of coordinating the biopsy approach and sampling with the patient's clinical team. Management of bleeding and thrombotic risk in patients undergoing bone biopsies is also an important preprocedural consideration and will be discussed. The majority of bone biopsies are performed utilizing moderate sedation for patient analgesia and comfort, but close attention should be paid to patient comorbidities and potential interacting medications. Although computed tomography guidance remains the mainstay of image-guided biopsy, there are some circumstances in which ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance may be beneficial. New advances in powered drill technology have made tissue sampling of bone lesions particularly sclerotic bone lesions both safer and faster with increased tissue yield. Finally, we will discuss image-guided biopsy of difficult anatomic regions that require special techniques to yield tissue safely.

Published: December 2024

AbstractEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has transitioned from a primarily diagnostic to a therapeutic procedure. EUS-guided drainage of intra-abdominal fluid collections is common practice with vast data in the management of symptomatic, mature pancreatic fluid collections. Evidence has demonstrated that EUS-guided drainage for these intra-abdominal fluid collections is effective with an acceptable safety profile. These techniques are being utilized for the management of other intra-abdominal fluid collections with equally positive results. This review will discuss the utilization of EUS for the management of various intra-abdominal fluid collections, discussing efficacy, safety, and limitations.
Ultrasound-Guided Thyroid Biopsy
Authors: Chintapalli Ravi Theja V. , Harmath Carla B. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThyroid nodules are prevalent, estimated to affect up to 68% of the population, and the incidence increases with age. With the advances in medical imaging utilization, the detection of incidental thyroid nodules continues to rise, and given the low rate of malignancy in incidentally discovered thyroid nodules (4–15%), diagnostic guidelines are imperative for their management. Several guidelines have been developed: the most commonly used guidelines in the United States include the American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines and the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting Data System (TI-RADS). These guidelines call for the utilization of a biopsy of nodules depending on a sonographic morphologic categorization. This article aims to briefly review these two main guidelines and discuss the techniques for ultrasound-guided biopsy of thyroid nodules.

Published: December 2024

AbstractComputed tomography guidance enables deep neck biopsies beyond the range of ultrasound and spares the patient more invasive open surgery. This review article describes proper patient preparation, devices, and techniques. Cases illustrate the favored access routes in the suprahyoid neck including the subzygomatic, retromandibular, transfacial, submastoid, transoral, and posterior approaches, as well as in the infrahyoid neck including the anterolateral and posterolateral approaches. A thorough understanding of the neck anatomy, assessment of prior imaging with respect to eloquent structures such as arteries and nerves, and a sound knowledge of the technique will result in an extremely low complication rate.

AbstractImaging plays a central role in the management of patients with aortic disease. Such imaging can be made particularly complex by changing terminology and definitions, overlapping pathologies, and unfamiliarity with evolving endovascular treatment approaches. This article will review basic principles of aortic imaging that can be applied across a variety of settings and pathologies, with a description of key best practices and potential pitfalls for image acquisition, diagnostic assessment, and reporting. Additionally, the topic of imaging in the setting of endovascular aortic repair will be addressed, as well as a variety of imaging-related diagnostic challenges in the setting of chronic aortic dissection, including surgically repaired type A and uncomplicated type B dissections. Finally, recent developments in advanced aortic imaging will be highlighted with descriptions of several areas of promising research that may yield significant advances in imaging of aortic disease.
On the increase of the melting temperature of water confined in one-dimensional nano-cavities

Published: December 2024

Water confined in nanoscale cavities plays a crucial role in everyday phenomena in geology and biology, as well as technological applications at the water–energy nexus. However, even understanding the basic properties of nano-confined water is extremely challenging for theory, simulations, and experiments. In particular, determining the melting temperature of quasi-one-dimensional ice polymorphs confined in carbon nanotubes has proven to be an exceptionally difficult task, with previous experimental and classical simulation approaches reporting values ranging from ∼180 K up to ∼450 K at ambient pressure. In this work, we use a machine learning potential that delivers first principles accuracy (trained to the density functional theory approximation revPBE0-D3) to study the phase diagram of water for confinement diameters 9.5 &lt; d &lt; 12.5 Å. We find that several distinct ice polymorphs melt in a surprisingly narrow range between ∼280 and ∼310 K, with a melting mechanism that depends on the nanotube diameter. These results shed new light on the melting of ice in one-dimension and have implications for the operating conditions of carbon-based filtration and desalination devices.
Calculation of thermodynamic properties of helium using path integral Monte Carlo simulations in the NpT ensemble and ab initio potentials
Authors: Marienhagen Philipp , Meier Karsten 
Published: December 2024

We apply the methodology of Lustig, with which rigorous expressions for all thermodynamic properties can be derived in any statistical ensemble, to derive expressions for the calculation of thermodynamic properties in the path integral formulation of the quantum-mechanical isobaric–isothermal (NpT) ensemble. With the derived expressions, thermodynamic properties such as the density, speed of sound, or Joule–Thomson coefficient can be calculated in path integral Monte Carlo simulations, fully incorporating quantum effects without uncontrolled approximations within the well-known isomorphism between the quantum-mechanical partition function and a classical system of ring polymers. The derived expressions are verified by simulations of supercritical helium above the vapor–liquid critical point at selected state points using recent highly accurate ab initio potentials for pairwise and nonadditive three-body interactions. We observe excellent agreement of our results with the most accurate experimental data for the density and speed of sound and a reference virial equation of state for helium in the region where the virial equation of state is converged. Moreover, our results agree closer with the experimental data and virial equation of state than the results of semiclassical simulations using the Feynman–Hibbs correction for quantum effects, which demonstrates the necessity to fully include quantum effects by path integral simulations. Our results also show that nonadditive three-body interactions must be accounted for when accurately predicting thermodynamic properties of helium by solely theoretical means.
Manifest in the flesh

Abstract
The summer of 1859 proved to be a turning point for William, both spiritually and professionally. In June, Palmerston appointed him to the Liberal chancellorship that he was to retain for seven years. He also fell under the spell of Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, poems that explore two models of manhood. At the end of July he became obsessed with Marion Summerhayes, an artists’ model and a courtesan. In October he published a major review article on Tennyson’s poems and wrote a sermon on the incarnation which focuses upon the discipline exhibited by Christ in his life on earth. Incarnational theology, the providential order, and religious freedom, subjects on which he focused intensely in his private reflections in the early 1860s, also figured in speeches that he gave in the Commons and in front of mass audiences ‘out of doors’.
Fight the good fight
Authors: Wheeler Michael 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
During William’s first premiership (1868–74), he battled to solve the ‘Irish question’. Three other battles were also to be fought between his sixtieth and seventieth birthdays. The first was related to his intense relationship with Laura Thistlethwayte, said to have been a former courtesan, and the battle against ‘the Evil One’. Secondly, having resigned as prime minister, he believed that providence had equipped him to fight the good fight in defence of the Church of England as a bulwark against ‘unbelief’. His main weapon was the pen. Thirdly, having taken up arms in the national debate on the ‘Eastern question’, he reflected that ‘the battle to be fought was a battle of justice humanity freedom law, all in their first elements from the very root, and all on a gigantic scale.’ His pamphlet on The Bulgarian Horrors and the Question of the East was the belated result.
Life and Ideal
Authors: Ware Owen 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that Friedrich Schiller plays a decisive role in shaping the German romantic turn to mythology. §1.2 traces the development of Schiller’s relationship with Greek mythology leading up to his poem “The Gods of Greece.” §§1.3–2.4 show that Schiller’s breakthrough occurs when he distinguishes between the poetry of the ancients, characterized by unconscious contact with nature, and the poetry of the moderns, characterized by conscious separation from nature. §1.5 explains why this distinction allows Schiller to articulate a new form of poetry that consists in the infinite striving for wholeness, one that turns on the reciprocal coordination of our rational and sensible natures. The chapter concludes by clarifying Schiller’s view of mythology (in §1.6) and situates it within a broader intellectual context (in §1.7).
Searching for the Blue Flower
Authors: Ware Owen 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter develops a close reading of three German romantic novels: Hölderlin’s Hyperion, Schlegel’s Lucinde, and Novalis’s Heinrich von Ofterdingen. The argument of this chapter is that each of these novels seeks to realize the project of a new mythology. §§4.2–4.3 analyze Hölderlin’s novel, showing how his work captures the reconciliation between self and world through the act of poetic recollection. §§4.4–4.5 analyze Schlegel’s novel, showing how his work appeals to a principle of “irony” in depicting the interplay of sensuality and spirituality. §§4.6–4.7 analyze Novalis’s novel, showing how his work uses a “fairytale” to construct a symbolic narrative of the self in its journey from fragmentation to wholeness. In comparing the three, Heinrich von Ofterdingen goes furthest in realizing the aims of a new mythology.
Remittance-Driven Growth and the Continuation of Labor Export in the Philippines, 1984–Present
Authors: Lee Suzy K 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 6 takes up the continuation of labor export after the period of labor-export-mediated industrialization (LEMI). By the early 1980s, Korean labor export was becoming increasingly unnecessary, as the economic transformations enabled by LEMI were making any labor-export-based strategy more difficult to implement because Korea’s rapidly rising wages made its workers less competitive internationally. While labor-export policy in the Philippines continued, its relationship to economic development changed. Instead of supporting industrialization, labor export helped sustain migrant remittances, which grew to approximately 10 percent of the country’s economy, and helped the country establish a steady, if not astronomical, pattern of growth. This growth has relied not on heavy industry or export manufacturing but on sectors associated with deindustrialization—services, real estate, retail trade, and finance—whose rise occurred in parallel with that of temporary labor migration.
The Remittance Workaround—Explaining the Relative Success of RDG
Authors: Lee Suzy K 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 7 discusses the crucial role of Philippine state policy in its modern remittance-dependent economy. Since remittances from individual migrants, dependent on changing conditions and policies in receiving countries, can be an unreliable basis for a national economy, labor-export policy plays a crucial role in securing a steady and growing flow of remittances, by directing labor migration toward temporary and employment-based migration associated with reliable rates of remittances and by diversifying the countries to which workers deploy. The labor-export apparatus has avoided the most corrosive effects of oligarchic rent-seeking because remittances arrive as millions of small sums directed toward households, rather than as windfall profits collected via monopolized markets or large state-controlled pools of funds. Because the actual “business” of labor export—the recruitment of manpower—constitutes so little of the revenue generated, the incentive for conglomerates to intervene in labor-export policy to capture this revenue does not exist.
The Long Line of Imperial Servants
Authors: Anooshahr Ali 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
As remarkable as Jawhar’s memoirs may appear at first glance, they were not exactly unique. His experience fits a pattern in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century South Asia in which a number of “subaltern” persons (meaning both “marginal figures” and “low-ranking military men”) produced similar types of narrative. These included Dattu Sarvani, Bayazid Bayat, Asad Beg Qazvini, Mirza Nathan, and others. Essentially, the context for this was the formation of a bureaucratic and absolutist state in north India that attempted to compensate for the rupture of most other bonds of social cohesion among its servitors by sublimating itself into a mystical patriarchy.
A Brief History of Victorian Microscopy
Authors: Kennedy Meegan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
A review of the history of technological, publishing, and social developments during the nineteenth century shows how these shaped critical narratives about the microscope. Benefitting from recent innovations in the design of the compound microscope and a surge in print culture, microscopy became available in new ways for research and leisure use, with important developments especially during the middle decades of the century. Victorian writers promoted and challenged certain tropes, both inherited and newly invented, about microscopical practice. One of the most persistent tropes is the comparison of the microscope to the telescope; over the course of the century this pairing shifted from depicting the microscope as an inferior younger sibling to showing them as complementary equals in investigative value.
