Strain-modulated magnetic droplet precession in spin-torque nano-oscillators
Authors: Zhou Sai , Zheng Cuixiu , Xu Haoxiang , Liu Yaowen 
Published: November 2024

In this paper, we present a promising method for modulating the frequency of magnetic droplets using strain induced by an adjacent piezoelectric layer. This strain results in significant changes in droplet frequency (∼6 GHz) and variations in diameter or mode, while maintaining a fixed current density of 1.4×1012A/m2 under both high and low fields. By applying strain pulses, we successfully modulate the magnetic droplet frequency, paving the way for potential implementation of digital binary frequency shift-keying modulation technique with magnetic droplets. Moreover, the effects of Oersted field and the Zhang-Li torque induced by lateral current have also been discussed, showing a minimal impact on the oscillation frequencies, especially at high fields.

Authors: Cantonnet María Luisa , Aldasoro Juan Carlos , Iradi Jon 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThe objective of this article is to make an exploratory study about European public administrations (public administration, public agencies, public law entities, entities dependent on the public administration and public universities) in relation to workplace health promotion interventions. The sample was extracted from the ESENER-3 (Third European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks) (EU-OSHA, 2019) and consists of 7,981 public entities from the EU-27 countries. Four WHPI have been studied: healthy nutrition interventions, sports activities after working hours, back exercises at work and prevention of addictions.Design/methodology/approachThis is an exploratory study. The sample was extracted from the ESENER-3 (Third European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks) (EU-OSHA, 2019) and consists of 7,981 public entities from the EU-27 Public Administration. In total, 45,420 establishments were interviewed.FindingsDifferent patterns have been observed when implementing workplace health promotion interventions in the EU-27 public administration. The promotion of sports activities outside working hours is the one with the highest level of implementation in European public administration. On the other hand, the measure with the least implementation level is the promotion of healthy nutrition.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of the study are that the studied items are nominal and comprise more than two categories, so it has not been possible to develop a correlation analysis.Practical implicationsThe EU-27 public administrations can see which workplace health promotion interventions need to be improved.Originality/valueDifferences that may exist in the adopted workplace health promotion interventions by European public administrations have not yet been addressed in depth by the literature.

This research contributes to the academic literature on the adoption of social media marketing by SMEs, especially within emerging economies. It enriches theoretical understanding of adoption processes and factors, filling gaps in existing knowledge and laying a foundation for future research in this domain. Using the TOE framework, the study reveals that when all factors are adequately considered, SMEs can transition from traditional marketing methods and embrace social media as a digital marketing strategy to enhance performance, profitability, and gain a competitive advantage over their rivals.
Tightly coupled robust positioning of visual-inertial-wheel encoders in visually challenging environments
Authors: Zhang Yahui , Li Aimin , Li Haopeng , Chen Fei , Shen Ruiying 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Wheeled robots have been widely used in People’s Daily life. Accurate positioning is the premise of autonomous navigation. In this paper, an optimization-based visual-inertial-wheel odometer tightly coupled system is proposed, which solves the problem of failure of visual inertia initialization due to unobservable scale.The aim of this paper is to achieve robust localization of visually challenging scenes.

Design/methodology/approach
During system initialization, the wheel odometer measurement and visual-inertial odometry (VIO) fusion are initialized using maximum a posteriori (MAP). Aiming at the visual challenge scene, a fusion method of wheel odometer and inertial measurement unit (IMU) measurement is proposed, which can still be robust initialization in the scene without visual features. To solve the problem of low track accuracy caused by cumulative errors of VIO, the local and global positioning accuracy is improved by integrating wheel odometer data. The system is validated on a public data set.

Findings
The results show that our system performs well in visual challenge scenarios, can achieve robust initialization with high efficiency and improves the state estimation accuracy of wheeled robots.

Originality/value
To realize robust initialization of wheeled robot, wheel odometer measurement and vision-inertia fusion are initialized using MAP. Aiming at the visual challenge scene, a fusion method of wheel odometer and IMU measurement is proposed. To improve the accuracy of state estimation of wheeled robot, wheel encoder measurement and plane constraint information are added to local and global BA, so as to achieve refined scale estimation.
Large changes in vegetation composition seen over the last 50 years in British limestone pavements
Authors: Stevens Carly J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Limestone pavements contain a unique flora, dominated by ferns with a mix of herbaceous species more often found in woodlands, heathlands and grasslands. The crevices between the rocks are known as grikes, they provide a shaded habitat which, depending on pavement structure, can protect plants from grazing. Despite being of conservation importance and supporting a number of rare and scarce plant species there has been very little research into vegetation change in limestone pavements.

This study repeated a survey originally conducted between 1972 and 1975. The Ward and Evans survey visited 535 limestone pavement units spread across England, Scotland and Wales and recorded grike vegetation. This study was able to resurvey 516 of those pavements and repeat the survey using the original methods. Expansion of tree and shrub cover has been observed in some pavements but not previously quantified so tree cover was assessed using historic aerial photographs and satellite imagery.

On average species richness per pavement increased but there was a very wide range of change in species richness across individual pavement units ranging from a loss of 56 species to an increase of 38. Dissimilarity averaged 0.41. The area of pavement covered by trees or large shrubs increased by 62% between the two surveys but the number of pavements with zero tree cover also increased.

Breaking down pavement units into those with low (<5%), medium (5%–30%) and high (>30%) current tree cover shows that species richness increased in open pavements but was reduced in pavements with high tree cover. Pavement units with high tree cover also showed higher dissimilarity and lower levels of indicators of disturbance. In pavements with high tree cover Ellenberg light (L) values were significantly lower than in open pavements. Open pavements showed higher levels of competitive species (based on Grime CSR values) but no change difference in Ellenberg nutrient (N) values.

Vegetation in limestone pavements has changed considerably in the period between the two surveys with negative effects of high tree and shrub cover particularly problematic. There is an urgent need for investigation to support management decisions in this habitat.

The values dimension of policy success and failure: Considering two Australian rural adjustment policies
Authors: Botterill Linda Courtenay 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn 1992, Australia introduced a National Drought Policy comprising a number of policies each focused on achieving a common goal of a self‐reliant, productive farm sector capable of managing the challenges of climate variability. This paper considers two of these policies, one of which has been an acknowledged success and the other that is generally regarded as a failure. The paper assesses these schemes against the criteria proposed by Luetjens et al. and concludes that analysing policies in values terms is a more effective way of understanding, and potentially predicting, policy success and failure.Points for practitioners
Policy is more likely to succeed if there is an alignment between the purpose underpinning a policy agency and the nature of the policy problem.
Policy can fail where the values of the agency and the target population for the policy differ.
Policy success is more likely where there is a single, clear goal embodying a single value priority rather than multiple values that are in conflict.
Chinese investors in the US residential rental market: Micro evidence
Authors: Lin Chuan , Seiler Michael J. , Siebert Ralph B. , Yang Liuming 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article examines rental prices charged by Chinese investors in the US residential rental market. Focusing on homes purchased by an individual investor and subsequently rented from 2000 to 2021 in Orange County, CA, we find that Chinese landlords, who are identified by all‐cash buyers with Chinese names, charge an average rental price discount of 4.0% compared with domestic landlords. The underlying mechanisms are likely a wealth effect and risk diversification strategy. The rental price discount is more pronounced for luxury, larger, and newly built properties. Our study complements studies of the China shock effect on US housing markets.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance (IR) and is often accompanied by mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The detrimental effects of T2DM and IR on the hippocampus have been extensively demonstrated. Few studies have examined the effects of IR on structure and function of hippocampal subfields in T2DM‐MCI patients.MethodA total of 104 T2DM patients were recruited in this prospective study and divided into four groups (T2DM‐MCI‐higherIR, n = 17; T2DM‐MCI‐lowerIR, n = 32; T2DM‐nonMCI‐higherIR, n = 19; T2DM‐nonMCI‐lowerIR, n = 36). Structure and function MRI data were captured. Clinical variables and neuropsychological scores were determined for all participants. Hippocampal subfield volume and functional connectivity were compared among four groups. Partial correlation analysis was performed between imaging indicators, clinical variables, and neuropsychological scores in all patients.ResultsT2DM‐MCI‐higher IR group had the smallest volumes of bilateral hippocampal tail, right subiculum‐body, right GC‐ML‐DG‐body, and right CA4‐body. IR in right hippocampal tail, right subiculum‐body, and right GC‐ML‐DG‐body exerted main effect. Furthermore, elevated functional connectivity was found between right subiculum‐body and bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and right anterior cingulate–medial prefrontal cortex. Hippocampal subfield volume positively correlates with total cholesterol and triglycerides and negatively correlates with fasting insulin.ConclusionThe present study found that T2DM‐MCI patients have structural and functional alterations in hippocampal subfields, and IR is a negative factor influencing the alteration of hippocampal subfields volume. These findings support the importance of IR in T2DM‐MCI patients and might be potential neuroimaging biomarkers of cerebral impairment in T2DM‐MCI patients.image
