AbstractImportance: Theory of mind (ToM) can be divided into two constructs: capacity and performance. Although severity of autism traits and verbal comprehension have been identified as being associated with ToM capacity, no study has yet verified their role in predicting the ToM performance of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Objective: To examine the differences and associations between ToM capacity and ToM performance and to verify the role of autism traits and verbal comprehension in predicting ToM performance in children with ASD.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Pediatric rehabilitation hospitals and clinics.Participants: One hundred four children with ASD who met the inclusion criteria.Outcomes and Measures: We examined ToM capacity and ToM performance with the Theory of Mind Task Battery (ToMTB) and the Theory of Mind Inventory–2–Chinese version (ToMI–2–C). Severity of autism traits and verbal comprehension were assessed with the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS–2), and the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI) of either the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence–Fourth Edition or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition. We conducted correlation and hierarchical regression analyses.Results: Scores on the ToMI–2–C were significantly correlated with those on the ToMTB, SRS–2, and VCI (rs = .613, −.344, and .566, respectively; p &lt; .01).Conclusions and Relevance: ToM capacity is significantly correlated with ToM performance. Both severity of autism traits and verbal comprehension played an important role in predicting ToM performance of children with ASD after controlling for ToM capacity.What This Article Adds: ToM capacity, severity of autism traits, and verbal comprehension were all significant predictors of ToM performance. Improving ToM capacity, severity of autism traits, and verbal comprehension of children with ASD would be beneficial to their ToM performance.

Published: April 2019

Mesquite trees are the preferred dendroenergy sources in arid and semi-arid forests. In spite of their relative importance, regional aboveground biomass (AGB) equations for mesquite trees are scarce in the scientific literature. For that reason, the aims of this study were to: (a) harvest trees and develop regional biomass equations; (b) contrast measured data with equations developed previously; and (c) test the applicability of the fitted equation for mesquite trees in the arid and semi-arid forests of the Americas. We harvested 206 new mesquite trees from arid and semi-arid forests in northern Mexico (Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas) in addition to using two other previously compiled data sets from Mexico (N = 304) to develop a regional equation. To test the validity of this equation, for biomass equations reported for the rest of the country, as well as for North and South American mesquite trees, we contrasted AGB measurements with predictions of fitted equations. Statistical analysis revealed the need for a single, regional, semi-empirical equation as together the three data sets represented the variability of the aboveground biomass of mesquite trees across northern Mexico, as well as mesquite trees in America’s arid and semiarid regions. Due to the large quantity of mesquite trees harvested for sampling and their variability, the regional biomass equation developed encompasses all other North and South American equations, and is representative of mesquite trees throughout the arid and semi-arid forests of the Americas.

Background
Recently, much attention has been paid to the role of neuromuscular function in long-distance running performance. Complex Training (CT) is a combination training method that alternates between performing heavy resistance exercises and plyometric exercises within one single session, resulting in great improvement in neuromuscular adaptation. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of CT vs. heavy resistance training (HRT) on strength and power indicators, running economy (RE), and 5-km performance in well-trained male distance runners.

Methods
Twenty-eight well-trained male distance runners (19–23 years old, VO2max:65.78 ± 4.99 ml.kg−1.min−1) performed one pre-test consisting of: maximum strength (1RM), counter movement jump (CMJ) height, peak power, a drop jump (DJ), and RE assessments, and blood lactate concentration (BLa) measurement at the speeds from 12–16 km.h−1, a 50-m sprint, and a 5-km running performance test. They were then divided into 3 groups: complex training group (CT, n = 10), that performed complex training and endurance training; heavy resistance training group (HRT, n = 9) that performed heavy strength training and endurance training; and control group (CON, n = 9) that performed strength-endurance training and endurance training. After the 8 weeks training intervention, all participants completed a post-test to investigate the training effects on the parameters measured.

Results
After training intervention, both the CT and HRT groups had improvements in: 1RM strength (16.88%, p < 0.001; 18.80%, p < 0.001, respectively), CMJ height (11.28%, p < 0.001; 8.96%, p < 0.001, respectively), 14 km.h−1RE (−7.68%, p < 0.001; −4.89%, p = 0.009, respectively), 50-m sprints (−2.26%, p = 0.003; −2.14%, p = 0.007, respectively) and 5-km running performance (−2.80%, p < 0.001; −2.09%, p < 0.001, respectively). The CON group did not show these improvements. All three training groups showed improvement in the 12 km.h−1RE (p ≤ 0.01). Only the CT group exhibited increases in DJ height (12.94%, p < 0.001), reactive strength index (19.99%, p < 0.001), 16 km.h−1 RE (−7.38%, p < 0.001), and a reduction of BLa concentrations at the speed of 16 km.h−1 (−40.80%, p < 0.001) between pre- and post-tests.

Conclusion
This study demonstrated that CT can enhance 1RM strength, CMJ height, 12 and 14 km.h−1REs, 50-m sprints and 5-km running performances in well-trained male distance runners and may be superior to HRT for the development of reactive strength and 16 km.h−1RE, and reduction of BLa concentrations at speed of 16 km.h−1. Young male distance runners could integrate CT into their programs to improve the running performance.

Abstract
Accessories in antennas can be seen as devices adapted to radiating or receiving electromagnetic wave structures. Their main purpose is to create means for the perfect operation of antennas. The accessories interconnect these antennas to the transmission and reception systems in an efficient and safe way. An electromagnetic coupling generally exists between the antennas and the accessories, and one can explore them to improve antenna performance. In this way, the accessories are as fundamental as the antenna proper, whose behavior is dependent on the appropriate connections.
Several kinds of accessories, are used more frequently: attenuators, baluns, chokes, coaxial (coax) lines, insulators, lightning arresters, planar structures, phase shifters, and twin‐lead devices. These components will be described in the following sections.
Ultra‐Wideband Radio
Authors: Siwiak Kazimierz 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Ultrawideband (UWB) signaling is a modern wireless technique that reuses previously allocated RF bands by spreading the energy thinly in a wide spectrum, thus rendering signals imperceptible in the noise floor of conventional narrowband receivers. There are several methods of generating and radiating UWB signals, including a low‐duty‐cycle UWB implemented as time‐modulated UWB (TM‐UWB), and a high‐duty‐cycle direct‐sequence phase‐coded UWB (DS‐UWB). Even conventional radio techniques such as orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) have been proposed, based on the “loose” spectrum access rules of the U.S. FCC Report and Order, which legalizes the emissions. Unique ways of coding and positioning the impulses, as in transmitted‐reference delay hopped UWB (TRD‐UWB), can result in the extremely simple UWB radio architectures. Here, the technological basics and performance of time‐position‐coded impulse UWB, the direct‐sequence‐coded UWB, and the transmitted‐reference UWB approaches are compared with conventional radio approaches. Several UWB approaches have been proposed in the IEEE 802 standards arena. Applications of UWB devices are presented and potential uses of UWB are described. Short‐pulse, low‐power techniques have enabled practical through‐the‐wall radars, centimeter precision 3D positioning, and communications capabilities at the high data rates, all with exceptional spatial capacities.

Abstract
Radiation monitoring is concerned with measuring and monitoring ionizing radiation. Little is known about the harmful effects of ionizing radiation at levels that are typically encountered in our environment (natural background levels). In today's society there are areas where the use of ionizing radiation that must be monitored according to state or federal government regulations to ensure that radiation does not pose a hazard to personnel or to the environment: areas include radiation for instructional use in schools and universities, medicine, industrial gauging, sterilization of medical supplies or food, mining and milling of radioactive ores, steel mills, space flights, fusion facilities, and nuclear reactors. Radiation monitoring in nuclear power plants is discussed in detail later in this article. Any of the facilities discussed prior that has one or more licensable radiation sources must have instruments that can measure the radiation from the source(s) and must provide personnel monitoring devices, such as film badges, ring badges, or thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), to monitor the dose that personnel receive who work where they may be exposed to radiation from the source(s) that exceeds 10% of federally established limits.
Microwave Tubes

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Microwave tubes are devices that generate or amplify electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range of 0.3–300 GHz (microwave frequencies); they are based on the interaction between the electromagnetic radiation and a stream of electrons inside a vacuum envelope (the tube).
The superior efficiency of microwaves may be understood from the fact that in vacuum the electrons do not pass through a background material that would imped their movement. Thus, the heating of a background material is not a limiting factor of high‐power operation.
Noise and Interference Modeling
Authors: Orsak Geoffrey C. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Noise and interference are inevitable realities of collecting data or taking measurements in the real world. In some cases, the noise level may be so insignificant as to allow the engineer to ignore its effects. However, this situation generally occurs only in very controlled circumstances, such as those in the laboratory or when signal powers are exceptionally large relative to the noise.
Modeling these effects can range from being relatively straightforward to being rather difficult if not impossible. To assist in this endeavor, it is the purpose of this article to describe various methods of characterizing noise and interference
signals and to elaborate on some of the most popular models in practice today.

AbstractThe displacement monitoring of the slow landslide deep deformation is an important part of the landslide early warning system. However, the traditional energy supply mode of depth sensors limits the large‐scale landslide monitoring of the whole life cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to realize self‐powered monitoring for deep deformation at extremely low speed. Herein, an extremely low‐speed triboelectric tilt sensor (ELS‐TTS) is proposed for whole life cycle monitoring of landslide deep deformation without an energy supply. The triboelectric self‐sensing unit based on the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and the instantaneous structure of gravity energy storage is designed. A prototype of ELS‐TTS with a resolution of 0.075° is fabricated and experimented. ELS‐TTS can stably monitor extremely low speeds of below 0.0257° s−1 in different environments and motion states, and the monitoring error is less than 0.13°. Furthermore, a real‐time monitoring system for deep landslides based on a multi‐level forewarning method is proposed to realize the whole life cycle monitoring of landslides and the multi‐level forewarning of dangerous states. This work further promotes the development of TENG in the fields of natural disaster prevention and structural health monitoring.

AbstractIt is of paramount importance to maintain the thermal environment of wounds in order to facilitate optimal tissue repair and regeneration. Nevertheless, their potential as a hyperthermia regenerative therapy remains to be fully elucidated. In this study, a photothermal hybrid hydrogel constructed through a simple “one‐step” activation process that elicits mild thermal stimulation is presented, thereby providing a stable photothermal cycling capability activating the immune response, and accelerating the restoration of tissue redox and immune homeostasis, ultimately promoting wound healing. The results demonstrate the application of the photothermal HGBM hydrogel in an impaired wound healing model, which exhibited elevated the levels of reactive oxygen species, enhanced immune responses, and the promotion of macrophage polarization M2/M1, thereby inducing a pro‐regenerative response. The RNA‐sequencing data demonstrate that mild hyperthermia therapy at 45 °C enhances the immune response and the respiratory burst process, thereby regulating the immune microenvironment in injured tissues. Furthermore, this process results in a transition from an inflammatory state to an anti‐inflammatory and pro‐healing state, which is promoted by the production of factors such as interleukin‐10 and interleukin‐4. This work therefore provides an effective strategy for hyperthermia regenerative therapy in the context of skin wound repair and tissue regeneration.

AbstractImplant‐associated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) osteomyelitis (IASO) leads to high orthopedic implant failure rates due to the formation of Staphylococcal abscess community within the bone marrow and bacterial colonization in the osteocyte lacuno‐canalicular network (OLCN). To address this, antimicrobial peptides (HHC36)‐loaded titania nanotubes (NTs) are developed on titanium screws (Ti‐NTs‐P‐A), which integrate pH‐responsive polymethacrylic acid to control HHC36 release for eradicating bacteria in IASO. Colony‐forming unit assay confirmed that Ti‐NTs‐P‐A screws maintained sustainable antibacterial effectiveness, killing over 65% of S. aureus even after multiple bacterial solution replacements. Notably, Ti‐NTs‐P‐A screws exhibit significant pH‐responsive HHC36 release behavior and bactericidal activity, consistent with the phenotype of peptides‐killed bacteria from scanning electron microscopy. Transcriptome sequencing results reveal that Ti‐NTs‐P‐A screws interfered with ribosome formation and disrupted the arginine biosynthesis, which is crucial for bacterial survival in acidic environments. In the non‐infected implant model, the bone‐implant contact ratio of the Ti‐NTs‐P‐A screw is 2.3 times that of the clinically used titanium screw. In an IASO model, Ti‐NTs‐P‐A screws effectively eradicated bacteria within the OLCN, achieving an 80% infection control rate and desirable osteointegration. Collectively, Ti‐NTs‐P‐A screws with pH‐responsive antibacterial properties exhibit great potential for eradicating bacteria and achieving osseointegration in IASO.

AbstractMitochondria‐targeted cancer therapy is an effective method for controlling tumor growth. However, the presence of repair mechanisms in tumor cells in response to mitochondrial damage poses significant challenges for treatment. By taking advantage of intracellular self‐assembly technology, a peptide nanomaterial, RC‐K‐FX, that enters tumor cells in a monomeric form is designed. After binding to MUC1‐C inside the cell membrane, RC‐K‐FX assembles into a spherical structure that stably encapsulates MUC1‐C, inhibiting its dimerization and blocking the repair of stress‐induced mitochondrial damage in tumor cells. Moreover, the self‐assembled mitochondrial toxic peptide effectively destroys the mitochondria, and the loss of mitochondrial repair significantly increases tumor cytotoxicity by disrupting the redox balance, enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibiting the nuclear factor (NF)‐κB pathway, and suppressing the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. After intravenous administration, RC‐G‐FX accumulated at the tumor site, exhibiting improved anti‐tumor effects and extending the overall survival of tumor‐bearing mice. Therefore, the integration of the in situ self‐assembly of peptide drugs and damage to mitochondrial repair mechanisms provides effective therapeutic options for malignancy.
