Background The aims of this study were to evaluate the experiences of telehealth for routine HIV care and identify preferred models of HIV routine care for the future. Methods Anonymous, online questionnaire among people living with HIV aged 18 years or older. This survey was advertised via posters with a QR code in six sexual health clinics and one community organisation as well as on social media from November 2021 to December 2022. Results Of 89 participants, the majority were males (80/89, 89.9%), between 36 and 55 years old (49/89, 55.1%), spoke English at home (74/89, 84.1%), had been living with HIV for >5 years (68/89, 76.4%) and reported having a telehealth consultation since the COVID-19 pandemic began (69/89, 77.5%). The top three liked aspects of telehealth were: the convenience of not leaving home or work (50/69, 72.5%); less travel time (48/69, 69.6%); and avoiding contact with other people (30/69, 43.5%). The top three dislikes of telehealth were: they could not be screened for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or have a physical examination at the same time (29/69, 42.0%); it was an impersonal experience (20/69, 29.0%); and it was more difficult to discuss health concerns (18/69, 26.1%). Among all participants, the preference for future consultations was to have a mix between in-person and telehealth (40/89, 44.9%); however, nearly one-quarter prefer in-person consultations only (20/89, 22.5%). Conclusions Use of telehealth during COVID-19 has been evaluated positively among people living with HIV that participated in this survey. Participants support the use of telehealth for routine care in conjunction with in-person consultations.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Synaptic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising toward the development of high-performance and low-power neuromorphic systems. In this study, we report a single-channel, three-terminal-based nonvolatile and multistate device based on 2D MoSe2. The device operates on the principle of trapping and detrapping of electrons at the MoSe2/SiO2 interface, in response to an applied gate voltage, resulting in a nonvolatile modulation of the threshold voltage. The memory behavior is highly reproducible as verified for around 100 cycles of the gate voltage sweep. The multistate behavior of the MoSe2 device was exploited to demonstrate the characteristics of the biological synapse. The device exhibits various synaptic functions, such as potentiation, depression, spike rate–dependent plasticity, spike magnitude–dependent plasticity, and the ability to transition from short-term to long-term memory. The bio-realistic synaptic behavior of the MoSe2 device underscores its promising potential for neuromorphic hardware.

Abstract
Neutron emission spectroscopy is an effective nuclear fusion plasma diagnostics technique for diagnosing the fuel ion populations on fusion plasma experiments. The state of the art 2.5 MeV neutron spectrometer for deuterium plasmas is based on the time of flight (TOF) technique, which however requires the development of large scale instruments. No compact alternatives that approach the performance of TOF have been found so far. Liquid and plastic scintillators have limited spectroscopic capabilities due to their non-peaked response to monoenergetic neutrons. In the last years, Chlorine based scintillators have been explored. In these instruments, neutron detection is based on the 35Cl(n,p)35S nuclear reaction, which results in a Gaussian peak in the recorded neutron energy spectrum. In this context, one option is offered by CLYC scintillators, which have the drawback of a limited counting rate capability (a few tens of kHz). Another option is offered by the LaCl3:(Ce) scintillators, which combine a comparable energy resolution and, most importantly, a faster signal (

<

1 µs) enabling measurements at higher counting rates. On the other hand, LaCl3 has a more challenging particle discrimination. The standard method based on pulse shape analysis provides a limited particle identification and poses restrictions in the counting rate capability of the instruments. An innovative particle identification algorithm based on Fourier Transforms has been developed providing higher accuracy and effectiveness. In this paper, we present the performance of a 2.5 MeV neutron spectrometer based on a LaCl3 scintillator in terms of pulse shape discrimination and energy resolution. Results are used to discuss their use for neutron spectroscopy applications in tokamak plasmas.
Adaptive sliding mode control for AUV based on backstepping and neural networks

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Automatic underwater vehicle (AUV) inevitably suffers from various interference issues in the marine environment. Due to the limitations of underwater measurement methods and tools, as well as the complexity of AUV’s control parameters in the underwater environment, dynamic measurement errors are easily cascaded and amplified, leading to the failure of the control system. In response to this phenomenon, this paper focuses on overcoming the influence of internal and external unknown factors in the tracking and control process of AUV trajectories. The internal factors are mainly the uncertainties generated by the model mismatch problem, and the external factors are mainly from the dynamic ocean currents. The AUV disturbances mainly affect the kinematics and dynamics levels directly or indirectly. In order to achieve the control of internal and external dynamic disturbances, we have designed a control system that employs backstepping and a sliding mode controller with radial basis function neural networks to achieve the cascaded control of kinematics and dynamics. Comparison of multiple sets of simulations shows that our proposed algorithm has excellent anti-disturbance performance for dynamic conditions with low measurement accuracy.
Curing monitoring of adhesive layers between metal adherends by ultrasonic resonance technique
Authors: Mori Naoki , Hakkaku Toru , Hayashi Takahiro 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Layer resonance induced by ultrasonic wave incidence is applied to monitor the viscoelastic properties of a curing adhesive layer between metal plates. A theoretical analysis shows that when the adhesive layer is modeled as a linear viscoelastic material, the ultrasonic reflection spectrum takes local minima at the layer resonance frequencies depending on the wave velocity of the adhesive. In contrast, the local minima of the reflection spectrum can be expressed as a function of the loss factor of the adhesive. Based on these results, a characterization technique for the wave velocity and the loss factor of a curing adhesive layer is proposed. This technique enables the evaluation of viscoelastic properties even if the reflected waves from both faces of a bond layer cannot be separated. The proposed method is used to investigate the curing behavior of bi-component epoxy adhesives. It is shown that the bonding condition affects the variation of the wave velocity and loss factor. The estimated wave velocity increases as the curing proceeds, whereas the loss factor sometimes takes a local maximum depending on the bonding condition and the frequency range. When the mixing ratio of the main and curing agents is imbalanced, the variation of the wave velocity becomes gradual. Furthermore, the increase in the curing temperature leads to fast changes in the wave velocity and loss factor. The proposed technique has the potential to provide insights into the curing behavior of the adhesive layer by incorporating it into other measurement methods and theories.
Multi-channel fused vision transformer network for bearing fault diagnosis under different working conditions

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Many of the current fault diagnosis methods rely on time-domain signals. While the richest information are contained in these signals, their complexity poses challenges to network learning and limits the ability to fully characterize them. To address these issues, a novel multi-channel fused vision transformer network (MFVTN) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the overlapping patch embedding module is introduced to overlap the time-domain map with edge information, preserving the global continuous features of the time-domain map and adding positional encoding for sorting. This integration helps the vision transformer merge detailed features and construct the global mapping. Secondly, multiple dimensional time domain signal features are extracted and fused in parallel, enabling multi-domain fault diagnosis of bearings. In order to enhance the network ability to extract domain-invariant features, an adversarial training strategy combined with Wasserstein distance is utilized. The results demonstrate that the diagnostic accuracy of the proposed MFVTN can reach 98.2%.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive study on the replication of ultraviolet (UV) GaN quantum well light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on Han et al’s experimental work. The replication structures of the electroluminescence emission at 353.6 nm with a narrow 5.8 nm linewidth validated the reliability of the simulation model. However, during the simulation run, a surprising and significant peak shift was observed, resulting in an emission peak at 358.6 nm, which deviated from the reported value. This discrepancy necessitates further investigations to understand the factors responsible for this unexpected change. Nonetheless, this correlation remains crucial as a benchmark for evaluating potential quantum well and device performance enhancements by following the existing structure and composition. Ultimately, it improves learning progress in scientific studies to the quantum level. Remarkably, the optimized devices exhibited exceptional stability at high current densities and demonstrated the efficacy of Drift-diffusion Charge Control (DDCC) solver simulation, which advances UV-LED technology, tallying with the literature claims and indirectly paving the way for high-performance applications.

Abstract
The future of food and land systems is crucial for achieving multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, given their essential role in providing adequate nutrition and their significant impact on Earth system processes. Despite widespread consensus on the need for transformation, discussed strategies vary widely, from technology-driven to sufficiency-focused approaches, emphasizing different agents of change and policy mixes. This study assesses the implications of a new generation of target-seeking scenarios incorporating such diverse sustainability perspectives. We apply two integrated assessment models to explore food and land futures under three whole-economy sustainable development pathways (SDPs): Economy-driven Innovation, Resilient Communities, and Managing the Global Commons. Our assessment shows that the SDPs align sufficient food supply with progress towards planetary integrity, halting biodiversity loss, mitigating adverse impacts from irrigation, and significantly reducing nitrogen pollution. While all SDPs comply with the Paris climate target, they diverge in the timing of climate mitigation efforts and focus on different greenhouse gases and emission sources. The Economy-driven Innovation pathway rapidly achieves net-negative CO2 emissions from the land system, whereas the pathways Resilient Communities and Managing the Global Commons significantly decrease agricultural non-CO2 emissions. Moreover, sustainability interventions attenuate trade-offs associated with narrowly focused mitigation scenarios and reduce reliance on carbon dioxide removal strategies like bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Amazon rainforest is highly biodiverse and has the largest extent of the remaining intact tropical forests in the world. To this day, undisturbed tropical forests act as a carbon sink by taking up about 15% of anthropogenic carbon emissions per year. However, in the past decades, a declining trend in the carbon sink capacity in the Amazon rainforest has been observed due to increased carbon losses and tree mortality. The causes are disputed, but increasing temperatures and more frequent severe droughts are potentially major drivers. We employ a novel modeling framework and hypothesize that previously rare, extreme droughts in the Amazon, such as the ones in 2005 and 2010, constitute the main cause behind the decline of the net carbon sink in aboveground biomass. Our dynamic vegetation model simulates process-based plant hydraulics and drought-induced mortality, and accounts for the diversity of strategies in plant responses to drought based on observed hydraulic vulnerability curves. The simulated impact of the 2005 drought event temporarily turned the annual Amazon net carbon sink to a carbon source of about 0.25 Mg C

). We show that this trend is entirely attributable to drought-induced forest mortality during extreme years. The simulations show a threshold-like behavior between drought intensity and biomass loss, which is due to xylem vulnerability, indicating the potentially high sensitivity of Amazon forests to extreme drought. Further increases in the severity and frequency of droughts might thus lead to greater carbon release and tree mortality than previously assumed.
The Judicial System of China
Authors: He Xin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Grounded in both English- and Chinese-language sources, The Judicial System of China is a systematic study of Chinese courts after Xi Jinping took power and thoroughly reformed China’s judiciary. How have Chinese courts come to the shape they are in today? How are decisions made on the major categories of cases—civil, criminal, and administrative? What drives and explains the behavior of the judges? How do the common people view the law and courts? How are the legal professions developed, and what are their roles in court? How do the judges interact with other actors—their political bosses, the prosecutors, and the lawyers? Different from the judicial independence perspective and the rights-protection approach, this book presents a governance model for understanding the operation of the Chinese court system, under which the courts have two overarching characteristics—policy implementation and legitimacy enhancement. The various policies that the courts are tasked with implementing, and the approaches the courts use for enhancing the judiciary’s legitimacy— and, by extension, that of the state, have played key roles in the courts’ evolution. This book is as much an account of Chinese courts in action as a social ethnography of China in the midst of momentous social change.

Abstract
Rest is an essential biological activity for all animals. Urban animals encounter multiple anthropogenic disturbances while resting. Since free-ranging dogs (FRDs) have survived as a population in the Global South for centuries, they provide a unique opportunity to study adaptation to the human-dominated landscape. In a field-based study over 3 years, we documented resting behaviour and site selection in 66 dog groups (284 dogs) in India. Eleven physical parameters of the resting sites, along with biological activities such as mating and pup-rearing, season, and the time of day, affected their choice of resting sites. The frequency-rank distribution of the unique combinations of the 11 parameters followed a power-law distribution, suggesting underlying biological reasons for the observed preferences. Seven of these parameters were most consistently involved in site choice, explaining around 24% of the observations. FRDs prefer to rest near resources at the centre of their territory, where they have maximum visibility and minimal anthropogenic disturbance. They prefer concrete surfaces with low insect presence. Our results suggest that the FRDs choose resting sites that enable better resource and territory defence, foraging effectiveness, and insect avoidance. Urban planners can use these insights to reduce situations of conflict and build more inclusive urban areas.
Gauging Medical Students’ Interests in Infectious Diseases

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Infectious diseases (ID) is a crucial specialty in medicine, yet applications for fellowship have declined even as the United States faces an imminent shortage of ID physicians. Career interests often develop in medical school, but little is known about which interests and experiences are associated with interest in ID.

Methods
To evaluate interest in ID among medical students and identify factors associated with interest and disinterest in ID careers, we developed a 26-question survey to gauge interest in ID. All 16 medical schools in Texas were contacted and invited to participate.

Results
A total of 262 students across 9 medical school campuses completed the survey. Those interested in ID as a career had a significantly higher interest in public (P &lt; .0001) and global (P &lt; .0003) health. The presence of an ID campus interest group (P &lt; .0015) and direct experience with the ID profession (P &lt; .0001) were also associated with interest. The most common reasons for lack of interest were lack of interest in pursuing internal medicine or pediatric residency, lack of compensation, and lack of procedures. Those interested in ID expressed interest in a wide variety of career pathways within ID, the most common being general inpatient and outpatient ID, as well as medical microbiology and global health/tropical medicine/travel medicine.

Conclusions
Based on this survey, recruitment efforts for new ID fellows might include focusing on students with interests in public and global health, as well as increasing direct exposure to ID at the medical school level.

Abstract

Background
Temperature-controlled high-power short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency catheter ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) utilizing a novel ablation catheter (QDOT Micro) with real-time assessment of catheter tip temperature aims for safer, more effective and faster procedures.

Methods
The peQasus study is a large European multicenter study set up to assess safety, acute efficacy and outcomes of temperature-controlled HPSD based PVI. The primary endpoints were safety, efficacy and 12-months freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias. Additionally, two strategies namely very HPSD (90W for 4 seconds) only and a hybrid approach (HPSD with maximum of 50W and vHPSD) were compared.

Results
A total of 1,023 AF patients in 15 centers from 9 European countries received PVI with the QDOT. Complete PVI was successfully achieved in all patients. In 699/1023 (68.3%) the vHPSD only approach (vHPSD group) and in 324/(31.7%) patients the hybrid approach (hybrid group) was utilized. The mean procedure duration was 98.4±37.4 min (vHPSD: 88.2±34.9min, hybrid: 117.4±32.7min, p&lt;0.001). The first pass isolation rate of all PVs was 64% (vHPSD: 62.6%, hybrid: 67.1%, p=0.187). Severe adverse events were observed in 1.7% (vHPSD: 1.6%, hybrid: 1.9%, p=0.746). 12-month arrhythmia-recurrence free survival was 77.1% (vHPSD: 76.8%, hybrid: 77.8%, p=0.241).

Conclusions
In this large multicentre study temperature-controlled HPSD and vHPSD ablation via a novel ablation catheter provides safe and effective PVI with a relatively short procedure duration. Despite a shorter procedure time no differences in terms of safety and freedom from arrhythmia-recurrence were found irrespective of utilizing vHPSD or the hybrid approach.
