Vertical structure and occurrence patterns of the cross-equatorial northerly surge under different ENSO and MJO phases
Authors: Moteki Qoosaku 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study investigated the vertical structure of 6 cross-equatorial northerly surge (CENS) events during the Year of Maritime Continent–Cold Surge Observation in 2021 (YMC-CSO2021) campaign. These events, named CENS1 (Jan. 18–20), CENS2 (Jan. 29–30), CENS3 (Feb. 2–5), CENS4 (Feb. 5–9), CENS5 (Feb. 18–20), and CENS6 (Feb. 25–26), occurred under different environmental conditions associated with cold surges (CSs) and the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO). Using radiosonde observations, we identified distinct characteristics in the northerly wind layer thickness, westerly wind bursts, and potential temperature anomalies among the events. Notably, CENS6 featured a deep northerly wind layer reaching 400 hPa, influenced by a southward pressure gradient linked to a cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere. Statistical analysis of past CENS events using reanalysis dataset showed that 80% occurred in January and February, with higher frequencies during La Niña years and active MJO phases over the western Pacific, aligning with YMC-CSO2021 observations. Composite analysis showed that CENS events induced significant ascending motion and localized potential temperature gradients, leading to positive precipitation anomalies around the Maritime Continent. These findings enhance our understanding of CENS dynamics and their impact on regional climate variability.

Published: November 2024

AbstractHomeostasis of cellular membranes is maintained by fine-tuning their lipid composition. Yeast lipid transporter Osh6, belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein-related proteins family, was found to participate in the transport of phosphatidylserine (PS). PS synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum is delivered to the plasma membrane, where it is exchanged for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). PI4P provides the driving force for the directed PS transport against its concentration gradient. In this study, we employed an in vitro approach to reconstitute the transport process into the minimalistic system of large unilamellar vesicles to reveal its fundamental biophysical determinants. Our study draws a comprehensive portrait of the interplay between the structure and dynamics of Osh6, the carried cargo lipid, and the physical properties of the involved membranes, with particular attention to the presence of charged lipids and to membrane fluidity. Specifically, we address the role of the cargo lipid, which, by occupying the transporter, imposes changes in its dynamics and, consequently, predisposes the cargo to disembark in the correct target membrane.

Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungIn Deutschland besteht seit dem Inkrafttreten des Digitale-Versorgung-Gesetzes
(DVG) von 2019 erstmals die Möglichkeit, medizinische Apps per Rezept zu
verordnen. Bis August 2024 existiert jedoch noch keine zugelassene Digitale
Gesundheitsanwendung (DiGA) für die axiale Spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Denkbar
wäre, dass axSpA-Betroffene besonders von einer DiGA profitieren könnten, welche
bewegungs- und verhaltenstherapeutische Interventionen per App vermittelt, da
deren Wirksamkeit in der Vergangenheit vielfach im nicht-digitalen Setting
nachgewiesen werden konnte. Es konnte zudem kürzlich gezeigt werden, dass
axSpA-Betroffene selbst einen hohen Bedarf für eine krankheitsspezifische App
sehen. In dieser Arbeit soll daher ein Überblick über bisher verfügbare,
deutschsprachige Medizin-Apps gegeben werden, welche die axiale
Spondyloarthritis direkt adressieren. Es wurden primär fünf deutschsprachige
Medizin-Apps identifiziert, die auch oder ausschließlich auf die Indikation
axSpA ausgerichtet sind. Im Detail handelt es sich um die App „Axia“, die „Mida
Rheuma App“, die „RheCORD PLUS“ App, „Rheuma-Auszeit“ und die Yoga App
„YogiTherapy“. Die bisher publizierte Evidenz zu den Anwendungen stammt vor
allem aus Kurzzeit-Nutzertests, welche trotz einiger Hinweise zu möglichen
positiven Effekten der Anwendungen noch keine abschließende Bewertung zulassen.
Daneben existieren auch erste Daten zur Off-Label-Anwendung bereits für andere
Indikationen zugelassener DiGAs bei axSpA Patient*innen. Die aktuelle
Entwicklung lässt hoffen, dass vielleicht schon ab 2025 eine erste DiGA auch für
die axSpA zur Verfügung stehen könnten.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background Prominent ears negatively impact the psychological and social health of individuals. Despite the availability of different surgical correction methods for this congenital condition, many of these techniques might result in significant risks of complications and the condition often reappears. Herein, we present log-term outcomes of our suture-free method that employs various strategies to reduce these risks and prevent recurrences.
Methods We analyzed the results of patients who had a bilateral double triangular cartilage excision otoplasty as an outpatient procedure. This previously described technique is designed to correct prominent ears by precisely removing sections of cartilage to reshape the ear mechanically without the need for sutures through the cartilage. We documented any complications after surgery and gathered feedback from patients over an extended follow-up period.
Results A total of 146 patients (292 ears) met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 23.2 ± 5.3 years. The mean follow-up period was 22 months. Complications were as follows: 3 ears (1.02%) showed superficial skin tissue necrosis at the front of the ear and 17 ears (5.8%) needed further surgery due to unsatisfactory ear rotation. Additionally, 2.73% experienced wound dehiscence, 0.68% had hematomas, 1.02% had external ear infections that were treated with local and systemic antibiotics, 4.1% developed hypertrophic scars, and 8.2% experienced temporary paresthesias. Patients reported being satisfied with the final outcomes at follow-up.
Conclusion Double triangular cartilage excision otoplasty is a safe procedure with few complications, low recurrence rates, and good patients' satisfaction at long-term follow-up. This sutureless technique should be included as an alternative to the existing surgical techniques and added to the skill set of surgeons.

Fear and love in Matanzas
Authors: Miller Marilyn G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Many of the most gripping scenes in the first-person account of life under slavery by the
19th-century Cuban poet Juan Francisco Manzano reference pleasures and punishments involving the exercise of the
emotions. His works in both narrative and verse strikingly foreground emotional duress as a central and lasting
product of the psychosocial and physical abuse that characterized enslavement. Denied the free expression of his own
senses and emotions, his autobiographical protagonist is at the same time subject to the degraded sensory indulgences
of overseers and others who force him to participate in acts that perpetuate his own harm. In the dramatic
representation of these traumatic episodes, Manzano notes how his natural liveliness, bonhomie and even affection for
those around him were gradually replaced by overwhelming melancholy and foreboding.

Abstract
The composition, microstructure, and electrochemical properties of the two kinds of thin film electrode materials, namely VS2/MoS2/Ni-IOS and VS2/MoS2/Ni-foam, were analyzed. The research results indicate that the self-assembled photonic crystal (PhC) templates with adjusted electrophoretic self-assembly processing parameters (100 V cm−1; 7 min) would lead the specimen to a face-centered closely packed structure. Metallic nickel inverse opal structure (IOS) PhCs whose thickness can be freely regulated simply by electrochemical deposition time. VS2 and MoS2 are 2D materials with excellent electrochemical properties. We employed them as the electroactive material in this study and deposited them onto nickel IOS (Ni-IOS) surfaces to form a composite of The specimens exhibited an excellent specific capacitance (2180 F g−1) at a charge–discharge current density of 5 A g−1. After the 2000 cycles during the life test, the sample can still retain the original specific capacitance value by 72.3%. The IOS PhC substrate produced in this work is designed as VS2/MoS2/Ni-IOS supercapacitor electrode materials, which is proved to offer a significant technical contribution to the application of 2D materials in high-performance supercapacitors currently.

Abstract
Increasing temperatures pose new challenges for track workers (TWs), who endure prolonged exposure to extreme heat and humidity. New methods are critically needed to assess their performance and heat tolerance, aiming to mitigate workplace accidents and long-term health consequences. This study aimed to investigate the physiological effects of heat exposure on TWs, using wearable sensors to monitor key physiological parameters under controlled environmental conditions. Nineteen TWs participated in the study, which included two experimental sessions simulating different thermal environments: a typical Swiss summer night and a hot summer day. Participants’ core body temperature, heart rate (HR), and skin temperature were monitored using wearable sensors, and physiological indexes were computed. In addition, perceptual strain index (PeSI) and psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) response times were recorded. Statistically significant increases in physiological parameters were observed under hotter conditions. The study identified statistically significant correlations between the PeSI and the physiological strain index and between PeSI and HR. Perceptual scores were consistently higher than the values derived from physiological measurements, suggesting a greater subjective experience of heat strain. The PVT response times were higher on the hotter day, reflecting increased cognitive strain due to heat exposure. The study highlights the critical impact of heat stress on TWs, with statistically significant increases in physiological and cognitive strain under higher temperatures. Future research should focus on real-world applications of heat strain monitoring.
Influence of superelastic training and huge strains on field-induced martensitic variants reorientation in particulate Ni–Mn–Ga/silicone composite

Abstract
Ni–Mn–Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are promising materials for actuator and transducer devices. Their intrinsic brittleness and high fabrication cost in the bulk form are issues to be solved. One of the solutions is a development of composites comprising these materials as a filler component whereby representing an emerging research field in the FSMAs. To address the improvement and stability challenges of the magnetic field-induced martensitic variant reorientation (MVR) characteristics of the particles in the previously elaborated ‘Ni–Mn–Ga single-crystalline particles/silicone rubber’ composites and to unveil new aspects of their functional behaviors, in the present work, we have investigated MVR characteristics as a function of compression cycling and under huge in-situ opposing contractions. It was found that after cycling with the 30% of compressive strain along the particle chains, the value of switching magnetic field needed to start MVR events was notably reduced, whereas it was almost intact when in-situ measured under the same compression level. In-situ measurements of the ‘magnetization versus magnetic field’ curves of the composite squeezed by 50% or 70% did not show MVR blocking. Instead, they revealed both a drastic decrease of the MVR switching field and narrowing of the MVR interval caused by the barreling effect. The results can be useful for the development of novel types of actuators and transducers.

Abstract
With the increase in the production of small and low-power electrical devices, there has been an increased focus on creating a useful power source to replace the battery. The energy contained in acoustic waves is one of the attractive energy sources for powering low-power devices. The design and fabrication of metamaterials is one of the effective methods of harvesting acoustic energy that has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. As is presented in this article, the aim is to design and fabricate a novel metamaterial structure with optimal dimensions to improve acoustic energy harvesting in a specific frequency range using a piezoelectric patch. In this metamaterial, hyperbolic crystals with non-square lattice have been used for the first time. This analysis is simulated using the 3D version of Comsol software 6.0. In addition, artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms were used to select the optimal parameters. The results showed that using the non-square lattice of the hyperbolic crystal, more average energy can be harvested in the frequency range of 3310–4325 Hz than in the metamaterial with the cylindrical crystal. Furthermore, the maximum amount of voltage and power extraction with an optimal electrical resistance of 10 kΩ in the metamaterial with the hyperbolic crystals at a frequency of 3374.71 Hz is equal to 27.26 mV and 74.33 nW, respectively, which is much larger compared to the metamaterial with the cylindrical crystals under the same mass and conditions. The simulation results are compared and validated with the experimental results by fabricating the present metamaterial and conducting laboratory tests.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
At present, functional gradient material (FGM) pipelines are widely used in high-temperature environments, and the need for online inspection of such pipelines is becoming more and more urgent. Ultrasonic guided wave is undoubtedly one of the most promising methods for detection, but research on the propagation characteristics of thermoelastic guided wave in high-temperature FGM pipelines is still limited. In this paper, based on Green–Naghdi thermoelastic theory, a theoretical model of longitudinal thermoelastic guided wave in a hollow cylinder of FGM considering temperature effect is established by using the Voigt model, and the governing equations of thermoelastic guided wave are solved by the Legendre series method. The dispersion, displacement, and temperature distribution curves of guided waves in a hollow cylinder of FGM are plotted. The convergence of the method and the influence of the coupling of thermodynamic equations on the dispersion characteristics of guided waves are discussed. The influence of circumferential order, ratio of radius to thickness, gradient index, and temperature change on the dispersion characteristics of guided waves is analyzed. This study provides a theoretical basis for nondestructive testing and evaluation of high-temperature FGM pipelines.

Abstract

Objective. Current commercial magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems detect neuro-magnetic signals using superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), which require liquid helium as cryogen and have many limitations during operation. In contrast, optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) technology provides a promising alternative to conventional SQUID-MEG. OPMs can operate at room temperature, offering benefits such as flexible deployment and lower costs. However, the validation of OPM-MEG has primarily been conducted on small sample sizes and specific regions of interest in the brain, lacking comprehensive validation for larger sample sizes and assessment of whole-brain. Approach. We recruited 100 participants, including healthy and neurological disorders individuals. Whole-brain OPM-MEG and SQUID-MEG data were recorded sequentially during auditory (n = 50) and visual (n = 50) stimulation experiments. By comparing the task-evoked responses of the two systems, we aimed to validate the performance of the next-generation OPM-MEG. Main results. The results showed that OPM-MEG enhanced the amplitude of task-related responses and exhibited similar magnetic field patterns and neural oscillatory activity as SQUID-MEG. There was no difference in the task-related latencies measured by the two systems. The signal-to-noise ratio was lower for the OPM-MEG in the auditory experiment, but did not differ in the visual experiment, suggesting that the results may be task-dependent. Significance. These results demonstrate that OPM-MEG, as an alternative to traditional SQUID-MEG, shows superior response amplitude and comparable performance in capturing brain dynamics. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of OPM-MEG as a next-generation neuroimaging technique.
Identification of autism spectrum disorder using electroencephalography and machine learning: a review
Authors: Ranaut Anamika , Khandnor Padmavati , Chand Trilok 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by communication barriers, societal disengagement, and monotonous actions. Traditional diagnostic methods for ASD rely on clinical observations and behavioural assessments, which are time-consuming. In recent years, researchers have focused mainly on the early diagnosis of ASD due to the unavailability of recognised causes and the lack of permanent curative solutions. Electroencephalography (EEG) research in ASD offers insight into the neural dynamics of affected individuals. This comprehensive review examines the unique integration of EEG, machine learning, and statistical analysis for ASD identification, highlighting the promise of an interdisciplinary approach for enhancing diagnostic precision. The comparative analysis of publicly available EEG datasets for ASD, along with local data acquisition methods and their technicalities, is presented in this paper. This study also compares preprocessing techniques, and feature extraction methods, followed by classification models and statistical analysis which are discussed in detail. In addition, it briefly touches upon comparisons with other modalities to contextualize the extensiveness of ASD research. Moreover, by outlining research gaps and future directions, this work aims to catalyse further exploration in the field, with the main goal of facilitating more efficient and effective early identification methods that may be helpful to the lives of ASD individuals.

Abstract
Extrinsic impurity seeding is planned for ITER to avoid high heat fluxes to the tungsten divertor targets. Nevertheless, excessive sputtering by impurities would lead to a reduction in fusion power output and divertor lifetime. Unlike today’s fusion devices, the entrainment of impurities is expected to play an increasing role in ITER’s highly collisional near-surface plasma. Impurity entrainment refers to the acceleration of impurities with the plasma flow by collisional drag, leading to elevated impact energies. To investigate impurity entrainment under ITER-like divertor plasma conditions (

5 eV), argon-seeded hydrogen plasmas were formed in the linear plasma generator Magnum-PSI. Doppler shifts in spatially-resolved emission profiles of argon (Ar II - 480.6 nm) and hydrogen (H

- 486.1 nm) reveal the entrainment of seeded argon towards the upstream hydrogen velocity (∼9 cm from the surface), corresponding to ∼0.39 of the common-system sound speed. In addition, the sputtering yield of tungsten by argon bombardment for the argon-seeded hydrogen plasma was compared to a pure argon plasma by monitoring tungsten (W I - 400.9 nm) emission. These sputtering experiments reveal further entrainment of the argon impurities to ∼0.65 of the common-system sound speed at the sheath edge, leading to a large increase in their impact energy. Extrapolation of the Magnum-PSI results to ITER, using existing SOLPS-ITER simulations to determine the divertor plasma conditions, indicates more than an order of magnitude increase in gross erosion of the divertor targets due to impurity entrainment. However, the net erosion rate could still be kept under control if high re-deposition rates are achieved, which is treated in the companion paper (Cornelissen M.J.H. et al 2025 Nucl. Fusion
65 026008). The combination of a low sputtering threshold energy and high impact energy of impurities constrains the fine balance between radiative cooling with impurity seeding and avoiding extensive divertor erosion.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Chang’e-4 lander successfully landed in the Von Kármán crater on the farside of the Moon in 2019, collecting a large amount of scientific data to analyze the surface material and subsurface structures of the Von Kármán crater. In this study, we processed the high-frequency radar data from the first 25 lunar days collected by the Lunar Penetrating Radar along the route of the Yutu-2 rover. Using the peak frequency shift method, we calculated the loss tangent of the shallow regolith layer ranged from 3×10−3 to 5.5×10−3. The estimated TiO2 and FeO content in the regolith is 11.2 wt% - 14.7 wt%, revealing a heterogeneous distribution of iron and titanium content along the CE-4 landing site.
