Modulation influence on power deposition inside a human head model exposed to 3.5 GHz plane wave
Authors: Mihaela Maftei Vivian , Stanca Remus , Miclaus Simona 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Biological effects of radiofrequency fields remain one major subject of interest, with the continuous development of communication technologies and their more and more intensive use. Many authors have discussed the special role that modulation has on the produced effect, comparatively to continuous wave. Numerical dosimetric studies following the differences in power deposition in tissues, in function of the applied waveform, are scarce. Here, we analyse by numerical dosimetry, the specific absorption rate (SAR) of energy absorbed in a human head model when a plane wave, either a continuous one or two modulated ones (amplitude-modulated and quadrature amplitude modulated) are impinging the head, from frontal or lateral directions. The final objective was to emphasize the differences, based on average, peak values, or tissue-specific values of SAR. In all investigated cases the carrier frequency was 3.5 GHz, which belongs to the 5G mobile communications in the FR1 band. The computations were made in the case of the same total incident energy delivered per each modulation considered.

Abstract
Herein, a simple and environment-friendly green approach has been used to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on a large scale using soya beans-drenched water. The prepared rGO has been characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and current–voltage (I-V) characteristics. The intensity ratio (ID/IG) of GO and rGO are ∼ 1.02 and 1.2 which signifies a decrease in the average size of the sp2 domain. From the Capacitance—Voltage (C-V) measurement, it observes that the capacitance of prepared rGO is higher than GO at a particular frequency at room temperature which indicates that charges of rGO have more ability at surface states to monitor the external AC signal. The corresponding result suggests that the obtained rGO can be used in an energy storage device. This work reports a new, green, and efficient reduction of graphene oxide (GO).
Mrs Percy Harris
Authors: Whitehouse Deja 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores Harris’s marriage prior to her meeting with Crowley, set within the context of Dion Fortune’s four ‘aspects of nature’ required for the successful union between man and woman. Comparisons are drawn between Harris’s marriage and those of Annie Besant, Florence Farr, Moïna Mathers, Dion Fortune, and Ithell Colquhoun. A general review of the evolving rights of married women at the end of the nineteenth century is presented. An analysis of Harris’s courtship and marriage follows, in which her role as a politician’s wife, the Harrises’ involvement in women’s suffrage, and their life together before and during the Great War are examined.
Concerning the Spiritual in Art
Authors: Whitehouse Deja 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores Harris’s early artistic influences, with specific reference to their spiritual and mystical undercurrents. A discussion of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British art is presented, with an assessment of how female artists were perceived in middle-class society and of the opportunities available to them. Particular influences such as the fourth dimension and surrealism are examined. Harris’s artistic evolution is analysed, taking into account her lack of formal training, and comparisons drawn with fellow Tarot artists Pamela Colman Smith and Ithell Colquhoun. Her illustrations for her book Winchelsea are assessed, and consideration is given to her developing style during the 1930s, which included artwork for her husband’s political campaigns, set designs for the Ballet Russes, and various London exhibitions. Harris’s adoption of an alter ego, Jesus Chutney, to disguise her identity as the wife of a senior politician is also explored.
‘Something Completely New in Art’
Authors: Whitehouse Deja 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Following on from the discussion of Harris’s formative years as an artist and the esoteric influences therein in Chapter 5, this chapter explores Harris’s artistic development subsequent to her meeting with Crowley. Harris’s involvement with Anthroposophy and her studies in projective synthetic geometry with George Adams Kaufmann and Olive Whicher are considered. Detailed analysis of an untitled geometric painting by Harris and her Cycle of Life illustration used in Crowley’s funeral programme are presented. Harris’s chameleon-like nature as an artist is examined, highlighting similarities in her works to those of other artists. Her portraiture is considered, as well as her cartoons and the illustrations she produced for Crowley’s writings.

Abstract
Structural cisheterosexism is a root cause of LGBTQ health inequities. Amidst ongoing legal attacks on LGBTQ populations’ rights, research is needed to examine changes in policy contexts over time and associated implications for population health and inequities. To address this gap, we constructed state-level structural cisheterosexism trajectories for each U.S. state/D.C. from 1996-2016. We used sequence analysis to quantify differences between trajectories and cluster analysis to group similar trajectories. We evaluated associations between trajectory clusters and individual-level health(care) outcomes (self-rated health, frequent mental distress, lacking insurance, lacking a doctor, avoiding care due to cost) from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, in the overall sample and by LGBTQ status (LGBTQ vs. cisheterosexual), using multilevel logistic models. From 38 unique trajectories, we identified five trajectory clusters: “consistently-predominantly-discriminatory”, “consistently-fairly-discriminatory”, “moderate-with-increasing-protection”, “discriminatory-change-to-fairly-protective”, and “fairly-discriminatory-change-to-predominantly-protective.” Overall, health(care) was worse in states characterized by consistently discriminatory laws compared to states with increasingly protective laws and disproportionately so for LGBTQ people. Findings underscore the need to abolish harmful, cisheterosexist state laws and enact protective laws to advance LGBTQ health equity. More broadly, this study demonstrates the utility of sequence and cluster analysis for assessing long-term population health impacts of structural-level determinants.

Abstract
Extant research shows that race adjustment in epidemiologic analyses could lead to masking of systemic racism. In this study, we compare race-adjusted and -unadjusted years of life lost (YLL), a measure of societal burden, to understand the impact of race adjustment in YLL estimation. We used North Carolina (NC) Violent Death Reporting System data from 2006-2019 linked to 2006-2019 race-adjusted and -unadjusted life tables from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by calendar year and age at death. We calculated total YLL and YLL per death from suicide and homicide deaths for non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white NC residents using both the race-adjusted and -unadjusted life tables. We found that YLL and YLL/death from suicide and homicide deaths for non-Hispanic white individuals were almost identical regardless of race adjustment. However, race-adjusted life tables vastly underestimated total YLL and YLL per death for non-Hispanic black NC residents. Overall, race adjustment resulted in an underestimation of 14,907 YLL from homicide deaths (3.1 fewer YLL/death) and 4,414 YLL from suicide deaths (2.8 YLL/death) for black NC residents. Our study shows that the baked-in underestimation of YLL for non-Hispanic Black Americans when using race-adjusted life tables hides racialized health disparity and perpetuates inequity.

AbstractGraph databases are becoming increasingly popular across scientific disciplines, being highly suitable for storing and connecting complex heterogeneous data. In systems biology, they are used as a backend solution for biological data repositories, ontologies, networks, pathways, and knowledge graph databases. In this review, we analyse all publications using or mentioning graph databases retrieved from PubMed and PubMed Central full-text search, focusing on the top 16 available graph databases, Publications are categorized according to their domain and application, focusing on pathway and network biology and relevant ontologies and tools. We detail different approaches and highlight the advantages of outstanding resources, such as UniProtKB, Disease Ontology, and Reactome, which provide graph-based solutions. We discuss ongoing efforts of the systems biology community to standardize and harmonize knowledge graph creation and the maintenance of integrated resources. Outlining prospects, including the use of graph databases as a way of communication between biological data repositories, we conclude that efficient design, querying, and maintenance of graph databases will be key for knowledge generation in systems biology and other research fields with heterogeneous data.
Genetic structure and potential hybridization between populations of two Penstemon species

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Hybridization is a common phenomenon in plants, facilitating genetic exchange and contributing to evolutionary innovation. In Penstemon, which boasts a diverse array of species with varying pollination syndromes, hybridization has been extensively documented. In this study, we employed nine nuclear microsatellites to investigate the genetic differentiation between Penstemon gentianoides and P. roseus populations, along with two populations of potentially hybrid morphotypes. Our results reveal significant genetic differentiation among populations, particularly between sympatric and allopatric populations of P. gentianoides and P. roseus. Bayesian analyses identified three genetic clusters, the first corresponding to individuals of sympatric and allopatric P. roseus populations, and the second and third to intermixed individuals of sympatric and allopatric P. gentianoides populations and intermediate morphotypes. Sympatric populations of both parental species exhibit signs of admixture. Contemporary and historical migration rates were low and asymmetrical among populations, with higher migration rates from the ‘fuchsia’ morphotype to P. gentianoides populations. The significant and positive correlation between migration rates suggests that migration patterns have remained relatively stable over time. These findings underscore the complex dynamics of genetic exchange and hybridization between Penstemon populations, highlighting the need for further research to understand population differentiation in the presence of gene flow.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background
Although kidney biopsy is definitive for the diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and acute tubular necrosis (ATN), its invasiveness limits its use. We aimed to identify urine biomarkers for differentiating AIN and ATN and to predict the response of patients with AIN to steroid treatment.

Methods
In this prospective cohort study, biopsy-proven ATN (n = 34) and AIN (n = 55) were included. Urinary cytokine/chemokine [interleukin-9, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), tumor necrosis factor-α, tumor growth factor-β and vascular endothelial growth factor] levels and the proportion of immune cells [expressing cluster of differentiation (CD)45, CD3, CD20] and proliferating tubular cells (expressing Ki-67) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Cytokine/chemokine levels and intrarenal immunohistochemistry data according to the response to steroid treatment in the AIN patients were also analyzed.

Results
The urinary RANTES/creatinine ratio and the percentages of intrarenal CD45-, CD3-, CD20- and Ki-67-positive cells were significantly higher in the AIN group than in the ATN group (P &lt; .05 for all). Among steroid-administered patients with AIN, renal function improved significantly in the steroid responder group. These patients had higher urinary MCP-1/creatinine and intrarenal CD45 and Ki-67 levels than those in the non-responder group.

Conclusions
The potential of the urinary RANTES/creatinine ratio as a noninvasive biomarker for differentiating AIN from ATN is highlighted. Urinary MCP-1/creatinine levels and the proportion of total intrarenal leukocytes and proliferating tubular cells may serve as indicators for predicting the response of patients with AIN to steroid treatment.

Abstract
Transcription factors play important roles in regulation of gene expression and phenotype. A variety of approaches have been utilized to develop gene regulatory networks to predict the regulatory targets for each transcription factor, such as yeast-1-hybrid screens and gene co-expression network analysis. Here we identified potential transcription factor targets and used a reverse genetics approach to test the predictions of several gene regulatory networks in maize. Loss-of-function mutant alleles were isolated for 22 maize transcription factors. These mutants did not exhibit obvious morphological phenotypes. However, transcriptomic profiling identified differentially expressed genes in each of the mutant genotypes, and targeted metabolic profiling indicated variable phenolic accumulation in some mutants. An analysis of expression levels for predicted target genes based on yeast-1-hybrid screens identified a small subset of predicted targets that exhibit altered expression levels. The analysis of predicted targets from gene co-expression network-based methods found significant enrichments for prediction sets of some transcription factors, but most predicted targets did not exhibit altered expression. This could result from false-positive gene co-expression network predictions, a transcription factor with a secondary regulatory role resulting in minor effects on gene regulation, or redundant gene regulation by other transcription factors. Collectively, these findings suggest that loss-of-function for single uncharacterized transcription factors might have limited phenotypic impacts but can reveal subsets of gene regulatory network predicted targets with altered expression.
Validation of the QuEChERSER Method for 245 Pesticides and Environmental Contaminants in Barley and Hemp by Low-Pressure GC: Comparison of Triple Quadrupole MS/MS and Orbitrap HRMS for Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
Authors: Michlig Nicolás , Lehotay Steven J 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Monitoring laboratories are a fundamental link in the food safety chain, and regulatory demands in a competitive economy call for analytical methods that are simpler, faster, more rugged, and broader in scope. The “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, safe, efficient, and robust” (QuEChERSER) mega-method introduced in 2021 meets these monitoring needs, which includes high sample throughput, automated cleanup of extracts, and fast low-pressure gas chromatography (LPGC).

Objective
The goal of this work was to extend the QuEChERSER method to additional matrixes and more analytes using LPGC, including comparison of the analytical performances of two different mass spectrometric analyzers: triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and orbital ion trap (orbitrap) high-resolution (HR)MS.

Methods
The QuEChERSER mega-method was validated for 245 pesticides and environmental contaminants in barley grains and hemp pellets using automated instrument top sample preparation (ITSP) coupled with LPGC–MS/MS or LPGC–HRMS (orbitrap).

Results
Targeted MS/MS detection proved to be more sensitive than orbitrap using full data acquisition, leading to lower LOQs with more analytes yielding acceptable recoveries (70–120%) and repeatabilities (RSDs &lt;20%). In barley, 89% of the compounds met validation criteria in MS/MS and 74% in HRMS, which in hemp were 81 and 66%, respectively. Qualitatively, orbitrap HRMS yielded 1% false positives compared to 3–4% in MS/MS, but due to the higher LOQs, the rates of false negatives were 14–17% in orbitrap versus 6–10% in MS/MS for the different matrixes.

Conclusion
The QuEChERSER mega-method including ITSP+LPGC coupled with MS/MS or orbitrap analysis is a robust approach for multiple applications. In the comparison, MS/MS outperformed the orbitrap in terms of sensitivity, but the orbitrap advantages of easier method development, greater selectivity, and the possibility for non-targeted/retrospective analysis permit even broader expansion of analytical scope in the future.

Highlights
ITSP+LPGC–MS/MS or –HRMS (orbitrap) analysis as part of the QuEChERSER mega-method is a useful and efficient way to monitor for contaminants in foods.
William Prosser, Consensus Thought, and the Nature of Tort Law, 1945 -1970
Authors: White G Edward 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
One has the sense, on surveying the writings of legal scholars and judges in the 1930s and 1940s, that in those decades American legal thought quickened its pace, increased its intensity, and lost its sense of direction. The doctrinal perspective on legal issues developed and refined by the scientists had been severely challenged by Realism: in the most powerful critiques launched by Realists doctrine appeared as an artificial smoke screen. Yet no competitive perspective on thinking and writing about legal subjects had fully emerged. Realists talked, some eloquently, of the “functional approach,” but “functionalism,” as numerous scholars pointed out, seemed incapable of formulating a comprehensive analytical framework that trained professionals could use in thinking about legal problems. Militant Realists conceded the absence of any analytical comprehensiveness in a “functional approach”; argued that maturity and wisdom came with the recognition that legal issues were endlessly diverse, complex, and fluid; scorned certainty and predictability as ends of the legal system; and seemingly denied that there was any recurrent set of analytical problems that could be called peculiarly “legal” and thereby be made part of a “taught tradition” of professional training. In holding these positions Realists invited polemical exchange, and in the 1940s, especially, polemics emerged, with scholars accusing advocates of Realism of being nihilists, atheists, and totalitarian sympathizers.
The Twentieth-Century Judge As Torts Theorist: Traynor
Authors: White G Edward 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Only two years elapsed between the last year of Cardozo’s judicial tenure and the first year of Roger Traynor’s: but for Cardozo’s sudden illness the two men’s careers might have overlapped. Even so the universes in which the two men functioned were barely comparable. Cardozo began as a judge in 1916; Traynor retired in 1970. Cardbzo’s tenure on the New York Court of Appeals took place in a period when Torts was conceived of as a private law subject dominated by the negligence principle. During Traynor’s thirty years as associate justice and chief justice of the Supreme Court of California the “public” implications of tort law were increasingly perceived and alternatives to negligence were given serious attention. Both Traynor and Cardozo had a keen sense of the intellectual climate of their tenures and each operated within the tacitly appropriate limits of his perceived role as judge. But Traynor, like Cardozo, is singled out for attention in the intellectual history of Torts because he did not simply work within the prevailing theories of his time and place, but made theoretical contributions of his own, thereby influencing the direction of twentieth-century tort law.
The Unexpected Persistence of Negligence, 1980-2000
Authors: White G Edward 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Historical change may be more cyclical, and less progressive, than many twentieth-century scholars believed; the capacity of humans to remake the world in accordance with. Their current policy goals may be far more limited than once anticipated. This work, at any rate, has identified some cyclical patterns in the law of torts, and has also noted the tendency of the field of tort law to resist being structured in accordance with the enthusiasms of generations of academics and judges, despite their sometimes heroic efforts at structuring. But perhaps the central characteristic of historical change that one should glean from this study is its unpredictability. No set of developments better illustrates the difficulties in extrapolating the future course of a legal field from its present characteristics than the dramatic, and unexpected, revival of negligence theory in American tort law in the last twenty years of the twentieth century.
The Protestant Reformation on the Biblical Canon and the Apocrypha
Authors: Bray Gerald 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Protestant reformers inherited the biblical canon of the medieval church but resurrected the ancient dispute between Augustine and Jerome as to what belonged in the Old Testament. Following the latter, they adopted the Hebrew canon as authoritative and relegated the remaining books to secondary status. This reopened controversy with Roman Catholics, particularly as the reformers were not prepared to base any doctrine on these so-called apocryphal texts. Even so, both Luther and Calvin had a high opinion of at least some of these apocryphal books, and on occasion even appealed to them as authoritative. Nevertheless, the development of confessional positions reiterated the superior status of the Hebrew canon and confirmed the practice of downgrading or omitting the Apocrypha that would become the norm in most Protestant churches.
