Noise causes cardiovascular disease: it’s time to act
Authors: Münzel Thomas , Daiber Andreas , Engelmann Nicole , Röösli Martin , Kuntic Marin , Banks Jamie L. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background
Chronic transportation noise is an environmental stressor affecting a substantial portion of the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) and various studies have established associations between transportation noise and cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and arrhythmia. The WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines and recent reviews confirm a heightened risk of cardiovascular incidents with increasing transportation noise levels.

Objective
We present a narrative review of the evidence from epidemiologic studies and translation studies on the adverse cardiovascular effects of transportation noise.

Methods
We describe the results of a recent Umbrella+ review that combines the evidence used in the 2018 WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines with more recent (post-2015) high-quality systematic reviews of original studies. High-quality systematic reviews were included based on the quality of literature search, risk of bias assessment, and meta-analysis methodology using AMSTAR 2.

Results
Epidemiologic studies show that exposure to high levels of road traffic noise for several years lead to numerous adverse health outcomes, including premature deaths, ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronic sleep disturbances, and increased annoyance. Mechanistically, noise exposure triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and circadian rhythm disruptions. These processes involve the activation of NADPH oxidase, mitochondrial dysfunction, and nitric oxide synthase uncoupling, leading to vascular and cardiac damage. Studies indicate that chronic noise exposure does not result in habituation, and susceptible individuals, such as those with pre-existing CVD, are particularly vulnerable.
The Effects of Whole-Body Exercise on Swallowing Function in Older Adults With Parkinson's Disease: A Proof-of-Principle Study
Authors: Chan Harmonie , Tang Ada , Li Oliver , Orprecio A.J. , Abrams Sophia Werden , Wiley Elise , MacDonald Kyle , Ma Jinhui , Namasivayam-MacDonald Ashwini 
Published: December 2024

Purpose:
Rodent models suggest that when respiratory demands increase during an exercise program, tongue and thyroarytenoid muscles engage to maintain a patent airway, leading to increased muscle strength. This suggests that nonspecific exercises that increase respiratory rate may improve swallowing. As such, the purpose of this proof-of-principle study was to determine the potential for whole-body exercise to improve tongue strength, cough strength, and self-reported swallowing function in older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Method:

Nine community-dwelling adults with PD (six men, three women;
M
±
SD
age = 73 ± 7 years) were enrolled in a 10-week (30 min/session, three sessions/week, for a total of 30 sessions) virtual, whole-body exercise program, designed to increase respiratory rate. Demographic, frailty (Strength, Assistance in walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, and Falls [SARC-F]), mobility (Schwab & England Activities of Daily Living Scale), and swallowing (tongue strength, cough strength, Eating Assessment Tool 10 [EAT-10]) measures were collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear mixed models.

Results:
Baseline frailty and mobility severity scores indicated mild PD severity. Post-exercise, four of nine participants demonstrated improvement in either anterior or posterior tongue strength, as well as cough strength. Three participants with higher exercise heart rate or rating of perceived exertion scores reported a decrease in EAT-10 scores to a level of below clinical concern (< 3). Results from linear mixed models demonstrated no statistically significant effects on any measures of swallowing function.

Conclusions:
Findings from this pilot study suggest potential signal for a higher intensity whole-body exercise program to improve self-reported swallowing function, given that heart rate and/or exertion intensity that met or exceeded the target was associated with positive changes in self-reported swallowing function, but not tongue or cough strength. Future research including a larger sample size and intervention controls is needed to further elucidate a relationship between whole-body exercise and swallowing.
Evolution of the star formation rate surface density main sequence

Published: December 2024

Context. Recent high-redshift (z >  4) spatially resolved observations with the James Webb Space Telescope have shown the evolution of the star formation rate (SFR) surface density (ΣSFR) and its main sequence in the ΣSFR − M* diagram (ΣSFRMS). The ΣSFRMS is already observed at cosmic morning (z ∼ 7.5). The use of ΣSFR is physically motivated because it is normalized by the area in which the star formation occurs, and this indirectly considers the gas density. The ΣSFR − M* diagram has been shown to complement the widely used (specific) SFR-M*, particularly when selecting passive galaxies.
Aims. We establish the ΣSFR evolution since z = 12 in the framework of the L-GALAXIES2020 semi-analytical model (SAM), and we interpret recent observations.
Methods. We estimated ΣSFR(–M*) and the cosmic star formation rate density (CSFRD) for the simulated galaxy population and for the subsamples, which were divided into stellar mass bins in the given redshift.
Results. The simulated ΣSFR decreases by ∼3.5 dex from z = 12 to z = 0. We show that galaxies with different stellar masses have different paths of ΣSFR evolution. We find that ΣSFRMS is already observed at z ∼ 11. The simulated ΣSFRMS agrees with the observed one at z = 0, 1, 2, 5, and 7.5 and with individual galaxies at z >  10. We show that the highest ΣSFRMS slope of 0.709 ± 0.005 is at z ∼ 3 and decreases to ∼0.085 ± 0.003 at z = 0. This is mostly driven by a rapid decrease in SFR with an additional size increase for the most massive galaxies in this redshift range. This coincides with the dominance of the most massive galaxies in the CSFRD from the SAM. Observations show the same picture, in which the ΣSFR evolutionary path depends on the stellar mass, that is, more massive galaxies have higher ΣSFR at all redshifts. Finally, using the slope and normalization evolution, we derived the simulated ΣSFRMS as a function of stellar mass and redshift.
Indexing pragmatic functions of kiss-teeth through embodiment and viewpoint construction
Authors: Schnellinger Tatjana 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Everyday discourse involves interpreting composite utterances like speech-with-gesture composites. Taking a
multimodal and discourse-pragmatic perspective, this single-case study explores the complexity of meaning-making by considering
the interweaving of gesture-speech composites and discursive strategies in talk-in-interaction. Specifically, the paper examines
various pragmatic functions of kiss-teeth (i.e., a conventionalised sound gesture) when combining it with other multimodal
resources. The data for this study was derived from an interview conducted during ethnographic fieldwork in Suriname in 2022. The
results show that kiss-teeth has several discourse-pragmatic functions in various contexts, including (1) conveying a reprimand,
(2) participating in flirtatious teasing and (3) engaging in gossip. While the research suggests that the meaning of kiss-teeth is
closely tied to various multimodal resources, the study also considers the participant’s uses of viewpoint constructions for
perspective-taking in demonstrations of kiss-teeth as diverse social actions. The analysis illustrates that the participant
indexes distinct gesture functions through viewpoint constructions which rely on descriptions, depictions, and composite
utterances. By analysing viewpoint construction, the study does not only aim to scrutinise the gesture’s meanings but also how
kiss-teeth contributes to the interaction as a whole. Ultimately, the findings point to the importance of gesture-speech
composites and narrative discourse strategies in talk-in-interaction.
Performance of a vibration damper using a new compressible magnetorheological fluid with microspheres
Authors: Bajkowski J M , Bajer C I , Dyniewicz B , Bajkowski J , Leonowicz M 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
A novel magnetorheological (MR) fluid was synthesised by incorporating compressible, nonmagnetic polyurethane microspheres and ferromagnetic iron particles into polyalphaolefin oil. This innovative composition reduces sedimentation, enhances compressibility beyond that of conventional MR fluids, and achieves comparable yield stress with a lower concentration of iron particles. The new MR fluid was evaluated in a prototype translational vibration damper under dynamic conditions across a range of excitation frequencies. The damper’s response with the compressible fluid differed significantly from that observed with non-compressible fluids. Upon activation, the MR fluid increased flow resistance and enhanced the damper’s elastic response, posing unique challenges for further optimisation. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of employing such compressible MR fluids in applications requiring controlled material characteristics.
Geometry of phase transitions in systems of infinite degrees of freedom
Authors: Kirilenko Valentin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Recent investigations have demonstrated that the origin of phase transitions may be explained by particular changes in the geometry of hypersurfaces, specifically Hamiltonian level sets, within phase space. This study offers a geometric explanation for phase transitions in systems of infinite degrees of freedom, demonstrating the versatility of this framework of phase transitions. An alternative microcanonical ensemble is proposed, whose partition function is well defined on infinite dimensional phase spaces, and whose phase transitions are associated with transitions in the canonical ensemble. The derivatives of the associated partition function and its entropy are shown to depend solely on the curvatures and covariant derivatives of curvatures of the potential energy level sets. Consequently, the occurrence of phase transitions in systems of infinite degrees of freedom may be explained by certain geometric behaviors of potential energy level sets, expanding and reinforcing the geometric explanation of the origin of phase transitions.

Abstract
To participate in Formula Student of China, the CRF450X single-cylinder engine is selected as the power source. The researchers used the MOTEC-M400 model ECU as an electric control unit to upgrade the electronic control fuel injection system. To restore the original power of the engine, you can create a crankshaft signal disk, install a camshaft position sensor, add a pressure cavity intake pipe, and include an oxygen sensor. Then, we optimize the calibration by adjusting the basic injection pulse width and ignition angle to obtain the power and torque characteristic curves of the engine. Through the upgrade of the electric injection system, the oil injection time and ignition time are accurately controlled, achieving the purpose of reducing fuel consumption and improving the performance of the car.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The column bottom pump is a crucial component of the atmospheric and vacuum device, and its stable operation is essential for the safe processing of crude oil. This paper analyzes the abnormal issues identified during the maintenance of a column bottom pump at a petrochemical plant, revealing a correlation between pump cover material damage and vortex formation in the balance chamber. A modification plan for the pump cover is proposed. The research results indicate that the installation of a baffle can effectively mitigate the vortex in the balance chamber, enhance the flow velocity through the balance holes, and subsequently alleviate the accumulation of solid particles and damage to the pump cover material. Feedback from engineering practices confirms that this improvement is both effective and reasonable.
Research on visual sensor occlusion test tools for autonomous vehicles
Authors: Geng Dongliang , Wang Meng , Zhang Zhiqiang , Shi Juan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the research on the safety of intelligent driving vehicles, it is essential to test and verify the safety redundancy characteristics of the vehicle’s autonomous driving system. The safety redundancy capability of autonomous vehicles comes from the redundancy at the vehicle control level on the one hand, and the redundancy of environmental recognition sensors on the other. Among them, the camera sensors of the vehicle are generally distributed at multiple points inside and outside the vehicle to identify the external environment of the vehicle and the status of the driver in the vehicle. When some camera sensors on the outside of the vehicle are blocked while the vehicle is moving, the autonomous driving system should have a strategy to deal with it to avoid danger. For the verification of the above test scenarios, it is necessary to use the visual sensor occlusion tool to complete. In this paper, how the designed exterior vision sensor occlusion tool works normally under emergency braking conditions is studied.

Authors: Li Fang , Feng Xu , Wang Deyou 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study presents a novel temperature control strategy for Additive Manufacturing (AM) of thermosetting carbon fiber composites, integrating Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC), Improved Eagle Perching Optimization (IEPO), and a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, termed the DMC-IEPO-PID algorithm. This approach addresses traditional PID controller limitations like sluggish response, overshoot, and poor adaptability in complex manufacturing. By combining the simplicity of PID, adaptability of IEPO, and predictive accuracy of DMC, the algorithm improves temperature regulation in AM. Simulations and experiments at 250°C, 300°C, and 350°C showed superior performance in reducing fluctuations, stabilization time, and improving accuracy. The findings confirm the DMC-IEPO-PID’s effectiveness in handling nonlinearities and time-varying characteristics, optimizing AM processes for thermosetting composites.
Named entity identification method for manufacturing equipment faults based on improved Roberta
Authors: Li Nian , Wang Yunxia , Dong Ying , Qiu Shenghai 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The recognition of manufacturing equipment fault named entities, as the foundation for constructing knowledge graphs in the field of fault diagnosis, has become an efficient identification method in fault diagnosis research. However, traditional methods for recognizing equipment fault named entities have shown insufficient performance in identifying professional vocabulary entities. This paper proposes a model for recognizing manufacturing equipment fault entities, which replaces the traditional Roberta model with the Roberta-wwm pre-trained model based on whole-word masking. The model improves its grasp of contextual information by integrating a bidirectional long short-term memory network and incorporating a multi-head attention mechanism to capture intricate interdependencies among fault entities in manufacturing equipment, and further optimizes the model’s performance. Experimental data from a large volume of fragmented fault texts generated during the operation and maintenance of certain resistance production equipment are used for validation. Through experiments, the F1 score for manufacturing equipment entity recognition is maximally increased by 2.58%, with evaluation metrics showing an F1 score of 98.76%, precision of 98.84%, and recall of 98.73%. This model provides an efficient and accurate solution for handling manufacturing equipment fault texts.

Authors: Meng Zhaojun , Wang Keyu , Meng Shuyu , Liu Da , Liu Shilong , Zhang Lei 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Effective sealing is a critical factor in ensuring the operational efficiency of steam turbines. This paper introduces a novel Spiral-Labyrinth Combined Seal (SLCS), which integrates spiral teeth with traditional labyrinth teeth to form a composite seal. By incorporating the pumping effect of spiral teeth into the Labyrinth Seal (LS) design, the leakage is significantly reduced. This study investigates the pressure drop, sealing effectiveness, and the reduction in seal length for SLCS with one to six spiral teeth under identical operating conditions and then compares these three factors with traditional LS. The results demonstrate that on the steam side, the leakage of all SLCS is lower than that of traditional LS, and the sealing performance of SLCS with three spiral teeth is the best. The pressure drop of the SLCS with three spiral teeth is 37.81% higher than that of LS at the same length, the steam leakage is 27.14% lower than that of LS, and the axial length of the R-SLCS is 9.3% shorter than that of the LS. These results validate the feasibility of the new SLCS design, providing valuable insights for optimizing steam turbine shaft-end seals.

Authors: Gu Yu , Ni Haishen , Li Yuwei 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The battery-powered propulsion system for ships is a key component of new energy ship navigation. However, such systems will inevitably experience failures during operation, thereby resulting in a series of safety accidents. In particular, the event of an internal short circuit fault poses a significant threat to a battery-powered propulsion system for ships. In this paper, we propose a rapid detection and diagnosis method for ISC faults by combining canonical variable analysis and the curvilinear Manhattan distance. The method’s detectability and effectiveness are verified by simulating three ISC faults with different intensities.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Braking performance is one of the main performances of an automobile and an important guarantee for safe driving. The quality of braking performance will directly affect traffic safety and personal safety. To solve the problem of low braking efficiency caused by the unreasonable distribution of braking force between the front and rear brakes of some mining vehicles in the current market, this paper uses the MATLAB simulation method to calculate the braking force distribution curve of a 50-ton mining automobile. By combining the adhesion coefficient and braking efficiency curve, the braking process of the automobile under certain working conditions of empty and full load is analyzed. By adjusting the braking force distribution coefficient, its braking performance is optimized. Further analysis and verification show that under full load conditions, the braking efficiency increases by 7.2%, the braking distance decreases by 3.8%, and the system performance optimization effect is significant.
Effect of minimum quantity lubrication on energy consumption in multi-axis milling of LY12 aluminum alloy
Authors: Zheng Tao , Zhang Tao , Zhao Nan , Dong Xiaochuan , Li Donghui , Gao Ming 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The impact of milling parameters on energy consumption was investigated during blade machining by a four-axis milling machine under different conditions. LY12 aluminum alloy was used as a workpiece, and the single-factor experiments of different milling parameters (milling speed, feed rate, milling depth, and milling width) under minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) were carried out in the four-axis vertical machining center, as well as a comparison experiment with dry milling. The milling power was recorded by the three-phase electrical parameter tester, and the specific power was calculated. The overall milling power shows an upward trend with the increase of each milling parameter, while the specific power shows a downward trend under MQL and dry milling. MQL can effectively reduce milling energy consumption. The milling power and specific power decrease with the increase of oil-air flow rate and oil feeding frequency. When the oil supply frequency is 20 cy/min and the oil-air flow rate is 400 ml/min, the lubrication effect is relatively good.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
As vehicular intelligence advances, drifting has been developed and applied to autonomous vehicles. This paper presents a real-time control framework to realize complex dynamic drifting maneuvers for DDEVs, which is called Dual-Loop Dynamic Drifting Control (DL-DDC). The framework is characterized by a dual-loop architecture. The inner loop is tasked with stabilizing the dynamic state quantities, and the outer loop is dedicated to tracking the kinematic state quantities. Validation is conducted in three different scenarios with Simulink/CarSim, and the results indicate that the proposed DL-DDC affords enhanced precision in dynamic stabilization and improved accuracy in kinematic tracking with a merely 0.6ms single-step solution time, which is pivotal for real-time hardware platform applications.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The drilling system uses a spiral drilling tool to rotate and drive the core of deep lunar soil drilling. In response to the complex and variable environmental loads that affect the sampling effect of deep lunar soil drilling under limited resource conditions such as volume, weight, and power, a double-winding BLDC motor is used as the driving source for the rotation of the drill rod to achieve low-speed high torque starting and high-speed cutting and powder removal. The torque and speed mathematical models of the double-winding synchronous working and independent working of the BLDC motor are given, and the topology scheme of the double-winding synchronous working circuit of the BLDC motor is designed. A prototype is developed, and experimental research is carried out.
