Bounds in a popular multidimensional nonlinear Roth theorem
Authors: Peluse Sarah , Prendiville Sean , Shao Xuancheng 
Published: November 2024

AbstractA nonlinear version of Roth's theorem states that dense sets of integers contain configurations of the form , , . We obtain a multidimensional version of this result, which can be regarded as a first step toward effectivising those cases of the multidimensional polynomial Szemerédi theorem involving polynomials with distinct degrees. In addition, we prove an effective “popular” version of this result, showing that every dense set has some non‐zero such that the number of configurations with difference parameter is almost optimal. Perhaps surprisingly, the quantitative dependence in this result is exponential, compared to the tower‐type bounds encountered in the popular linear Roth theorem.
Acute high‐intensity muscle contraction moderates AChR gene expression independent of rapamycin‐sensitive mTORC1 pathway in rat skeletal muscle

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe relationship between mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activation after resistance exercise and acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunit gene expression remains largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of electrical stimulation‐induced intense muscle contraction, which mimics acute resistance exercise, on the mRNA expression of AChR genes and the signalling pathways involved in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) maintenance, such as mTORC1 and muscle‐specific kinase (MuSK). The gastrocnemius muscle of male adult Sprague–Dawley rats was isometrically exercised. Upon completion of muscle contraction, the rats were euthanized in the early (after 0, 1, 3, 6 or 24 h) and late (after 48 or 72 h) recovery phases and the gastrocnemius muscles were removed. Non‐exercised control animals were euthanized in the basal state (control group). In the early recovery phase, Agrn gene expression increased whereas LRP4 decreased without any change in the protein and gene expression of AChR gene subunits. In the late recovery phase, Agrn, Musk, Chrnb1, Chrnd and Chrne gene expression were altered and agrin and MuSK protein expression increased. Moreover, mTORC1 and protein kinase B/Akt‐histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC) were activated in the early phase but not in the late recovery phase. Furthermore, rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTORC1, did not disturb changes in AChR subunit gene expression after muscle contraction. However, rapamycin addition slightly increased AChR gene expression, while insulin did not impact it in rat L6 myotube. These results suggest that changes in the AChR subunits after muscle contraction are independent of the rapamycin‐sensitive mTORC1 pathway.
Flexible Use of Hydrogen Fueled Duct Burners in Combined Cycle Power Plant HRSGs
Authors: Moelling David S. , Femiana Early , Burns Darby K. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Hydrogen fuel use in Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP) is commonly thought of as using a hydrogen/natural gas fuel blend in the Gas Turbine Combustors. Current generation combustors can typically use up to 30% by volume Hydrogen with additional tuning but this provides only 8–10% of the heating value of natural gas displaced. Currently when hydrogen fuel supplies are limited continuous cofiring may result in even lower H2 fractions. For plants with duct burners in their HRSGs an opportunity to burn Hydrogen more efficiently and at lower cost exists. The technology for burning hydrogen in duct burners is well developed for use in chemical and petroleum processing plants. Hydrogen can be used as a blend with Natural gas or by a mix of 100% hydrogen burners and natural gas burners to give true dual fuel capability. This paper examines the use of Hydrogen in a modern CCPP plant duct burners with regard to heat transfer, NOX production, ammonia salt deposition changes due to increased water content in exhaust, temperature impact on HRSG components and flexibility issues.
Application to using Hydrogen with a co-located electrolysis facility and local short-term storage as a means of dealing with daily variation in renewables generation known as the duck curve are analyzed with dynamic simulation of CCPP operation. Implications for storage and Hydrogen supply capacity are addressed.
The study conclusions are that the typical CCPP duct burners in North America can be converted to Hydrogen operation equivalent to a 30% hydrogen blend for the gas turbine on an energy basis with lower cost and technical risk.
A Lifetime Techno-Economic Analysis of a Residential Hybrid Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Water Heater

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Energy efficiency is a common approach to mitigating global climate change by reducing carbon emissions from power generation plants. A hybrid (solid oxide fuel cell integrated) combined heat and power (CHP) water heater has its economic feasibility analyzed herein using techno-economic methods to predict future costs of water heating based on the present value of money and region of the United States. A baseline natural gas fired water heater is selected to determine the economic feasibility of the hybrid system. The lifetime of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) will be considered since there will be additional replacement costs when compared to the baseline water heater. The results show the hybrid water heater is economically viable in certain regions of the United States. For example, the Northeast and South regions of the United States have total savings of $12,854 and $4,100, respectively at the end of the 60 year analysis. Regional hot water demand, utility natural gas and electricity prices, and their historical increase rates, dictate whether the hybrid system is economically viable.
Compression Method and Cooling Method Applying the Pitot Tube Effect
Authors: Morishige Haruo 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
For a new type of air conditioner, we apply a Pitot tube type compressor based on our CCUS development. It uses water as a medium, not CFCs. Water is circulated through a loop pipe with a small hole, air is aspirated from the hole, and that air is accumulated and compressed in a tank on the line. This aspiration effect is known as the Pitot tube effect. Since the air is directly compressed by the flowing water, the air does not flow back, so the efficiency is extremely high. The Coefficient of Performance is expected to exceed 10. When this compressed air is exposed to the atmosphere, a low temperature below 0 °C is achieved. It is intended for air conditioners and refrigerators for homes and businesses from several kW to several 100 kW. When water vapor in the air condenses due to air volume expansion, carbon dioxide in the air is also recovered in that condensed water. This air conditioner contributes to global warming countermeasures by saving energy and recovering carbon dioxide.
Summary of Property-Related Parameters and its Effect on the Simulated Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of U-10Mo Monolithic Fuel Plate
Authors: Mohamed Walid , Ozaltun Hakan , Roh Hee Seok 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The most recent design considered to convert most U.S. High Performance Research Reactors (USHPRR) from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) consists of high density uranium–10 wt% molybdenum fuel core sandwiched between Zirconium diffusion barriers and encapsulated in aluminum AA6061 cladding.
In this work, finite element analysis (FEA) is used to perform parametric studies to evaluate the effect of property-related parameters on the simulated thermo-mechanical behavior of a generic U-10Mo monolithic fuel plate. A baseline FE model was developed using the most recommended physical, thermal, and mechanical properties for the U-10Mo fuel core, the Zr diffusion barrier and the AA6061 cladding materials. The thermo-mechanical behavior of the monolithic fuel plate was simulated considering a ±50% change in the materials’ properties implemented in the FE baseline model. Global peak values for stress and temperature and the stress and displacements profiles at a selected transverse section of the plate were analyzed in all cases and compared to the baseline case. The effect of the U-10Mo fuel core behavioral models, including fuel swelling and irradiation-induced creep, and degradation models of the fuel core thermal conductivity and elastic modulus on the simulated fuel plate thermo-mechanical performance were also investigated.
The Use of the FIFA 11+ For Kids as an Injury Prevention Program in Youth Soccer Players: A Critically Appraised Topic
Authors: Osumi Kohei , Kuehner-Boyer Chelsea 
Published: November 2024

The FIFA 11+ For Kids was developed as an injury prevention program for youth soccer athletes between 7 and 13 years of age. Since its development, it has been introduced to youth soccer players worldwide, however, a critical summary of high-level randomized control trials to assist clinicians in determining how to effectively implement the program for injury prevention is lacking in the current literature. This critically appraised topic sought to determine the best practice recommendations for the implementation of the FIFA 11+ For Kids program to effectively prevent injuries in youth soccer players. A search of the literature was completed in December of 2023 using the terms “FIFA 11 for kids” and “randomized control trials” and “injury prevention.” Studies were included if they scored higher than 6/10 on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. A critical appraisal of high-level randomized control trials found that clinicians can use the FIFA 11+ For Kids as an effective injury prevention program for youth soccer players when factors including the frequency of application, the time needed to complete the program, compliance with the program, and training of team personal who lead the program are considered.

Efficient generation, unimodular element in a geometric subring of a polynomial ring
Authors: Banerjee Sourjya , Bhaumik Chandan , Sarwar Husney Parvez 
Published: November 2024

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension [Formula: see text]. First, we define the “geometric subring” [Formula: see text] of a polynomial ring [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] of dimension [Formula: see text] (the definition of geometric subring is more general, see (1.2)). Then we prove that every locally complete intersection ideal of height [Formula: see text] is a complete intersection ideal. Thus, improving the general bound of Mohan Kumar [On two conjectures about polynomial rings, Invent. Math. 46(3) (1978) 225–236] for an arbitrary ring of dimension [Formula: see text]. Afterward, we deduce that every finitely generated projective [Formula: see text]-module of rank [Formula: see text] splits off a free summand of rank one. This improves the general bound of Serre [J.-P. Serre, Modules projectifs et espaces fibrés à fibre vectorielle. Séminaire Dubreil. Algébre et théorie des nombres, Volume 11 (1957–1958) no. 2, Talk No. 23, p. 18] for an arbitrary ring. Finally, applications are given to a set-theoretic generation of an ideal in the geometric ring [Formula: see text] and its polynomial extension [Formula: see text].
Post Tungsten CMP Cleaning: Optimization for Cleaning Efficiency and Corrosion Reduction

Published: November 2024

Tungsten chemical-mechanical planarization (W CMP) is among the first applications of the CMP process implemented in high volume semiconductor manufacturing. Alkaline chemicals such as diluted NH4OH have been the predominant choice of post W CMP clean due to charge repulsion between W and dielectric/abrasive surface in high pH. However, W dissolution occurs spontaneously above pH ∼ 4.0. Consequently, W corrosion can happen during post-CMP cleaning. From that perspective, acidic chemistry (e.g., pH < 4.0) seems a more benign choice to protect W, although at such low pH, isoelectric potential curves suggest coulombic attraction between W and oxide/silica surfaces, making it unfavorable for particle removal. The above pH dilemma for post-CMP cleaning and W protection can be managed by adding corrosion inhibitor to an alkaline chemical. Results from blanket and patterned wafers suggest reduction in surface defects and W dissolution can be accomplished simultaneously by an alkaline clean chemical with corrosion inhibitor (pH ∼ 9.78), which shows high cleaning efficiency and reduced W loss than citric acid-based chemical (pH ∼ 2.66), DIW, and diluted NH4OH. In addition, we show that DIW alone can induce severe W dissolution in features of fine geometry. Possible counter measures against such DIW-induced W corrosion are discussed.
Tunable Negative Permittivity and Magnetic Properties of Ag/BLM Ceramic Metacomposites

Published: November 2024

Percolation composites with tunable negative permittivity have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications. However, studies on the magnetic property and negative permittivity of ceramic composites at a frequency range of 100 MHz to 1 GHz are relatively scarce. In this paper, the porous La-doped barium ferrite (BLM) ceramics were immersed in silver nitrate solution, then put the dried porous BLM ceramics loaded with silver nitrate into a box furnace and calcined at 400 °C for 30 min to decompose the silver nitrate. Ag content could increase by increasing the number of impregnation-calcinations, therefore Ag/BLM ceramic metacomposites with varying Ag content were prepared. We investigate the permittivity, reactance, and permeability of Ag/BLM ceramic metacomposites at 100 MHz ∼ 1 GHz. The findings indicate that the percolation threshold for Ag/BLM ceramic metacomposites is between 10 wt% and 19 wt%. When Ag content reaches 19 wt%, it creates a conductive network that generates a high number of free electrons. This leads to low-frequency plasma states and results in negative permittivity. Meanwhile, the permeability of Ag/BLM ceramic metacomposites shows the frequency dispersion due to the magnetic resonance and eddy current. Therefore, this work presents an effective approach for adjusting the value of negative permittivity and permeability in the frequency band of 10 MHz ∼1 GHz.

Published: November 2024

Objective: This study aims to provide the impact of different endodontic irrigation treatments after post space preparation on the push‐out bond strength of fiber posts to dentin using self‐adhesive cements.Methods and Materials: A total of 180 extracted premolar teeth were selected. The canals were instrumented by and then were filled. After preparing the post space, teeth were divided into 12 groups according to irrigants (normal saline solution; 17% EDTA [ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid] + 5.25% NaOCl [sodium hypochlorite]; 17% EDTA; 5.25% NaOCl; and 1.2% chlorhexidine [CHX]) and irrigation technique (conventional syringe irrigation [CSI] and passive ultrasonic irrigation [PUI]). After cementation, the samples were sectioned to obtain 1‐mm disks from coronal and apical parts, a push‐out test was performed using a universal testing machine (Z050, Zwick/Roell, Ulm, Germany) at a speed of 1 mm/min. The data were analyzed using one‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Mann–Whitney U tests.Results: The push‐out bond strength was higher in coronal segment in comparison to apical segment. The highest push‐out bond strength value was related to NaOCl + EDTA using PUI (12.39 ± 1.08). There are significant differences when comparing NaOCl + EDTA group with EDTA group using CSI or PUI technique (p  < 0.05) except in coronal region with CSI technique. In both apical and coronal regions, phosphoric acid irrigation was found to be similar to normal saline solution and CHX groups regardless of activation technique.Conclusion: The push‐out bond strength values were significantly affected by the irrigation protocol. Using PUI and 17% EDTA + 5.25% NaOCl in apical region could be an effective irrigant for smear layer removal after post space preparation.

Abstract
While tobacco smoking is a risk factor in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), only a fraction of smokers develop the disease. Compelling evidence shows that microbial community composition is associated with carcinogenesis, suggesting that the microbiome may play a role in cancer development of smokers. We previously showed that black raspberry (BRB) protects against OSCC induced by the tobacco constituent dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBP) via alteration of genetic and epigenetic markers in a manner consistent with its cancer preventive activity. In the present study, we conducted a mouse experiment to investigate the effects of BRB and DBP individually and in combination on the oral and gut microbiota. DBP-induced DNA damage in the mouse oral cavity is an essential step for the development of OSCC in mice. 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that BRB significantly increased microbial diversity and shifted microbiome composition in the gut and oral cavity, whereas DBP had no significant effect. In both gut and oral microbiota, Akkermansia muciniphila was significantly reduced after BRB treatment; however, this was not consistent with pure culture in vitro assays suggesting that the impact of BRB on A. muciniphila may be mediated through indirect mechanisms including the host or other microbes. Indeed BRB, but not DBP, was found to modulate the growth kinetics of human gut microbes in vitro including lactic acid bacteria and Bacteroides spp. The results of the current study further emphasize the interplay of microbiome and environmental factors in the development and prevention of OSCC.
Prevention Relevance: Our work clearly demonstrates the modulatory impact of BRB on both gut and oral microbiomes within a DBP-induced OSCC mouse model and paves the way for future research examining a causal role of BRB–microbiota interactions at different stages of disease progression.
The Literary Structure and Schematic Clauses in 1 En. 72:8–32
Authors: Drawnel Henryk 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the literary structure of 1 En. 72:8–32, which contains numerical data regarding the changing duration of day and night within the structure of the 364-day year. The central literary section of each month provides the reader with information about the changing length of day and night. The schematic clauses have been analyzed in the context of two Babylonian texts: Tablet BM 17175 + 17284 and Tablet XIV of the Enūma Anu Enlil astrological series. The redactional insertion in v. 27 has been compared with MUL.APIN II i 17, which contains the same information about the sun, but couched in a different terminology. The analysis demonstrates the process of appropriation, reinterpretation, and modification of schematic astronomical knowledge of Babylonian origin, as evidenced by the established relationship between the early form of Babylonian schematic astronomy and chapter 72 of 1 Enoch.
Using People to Serve Their Own Interests
Authors: Van Fossen Stephanie 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
There are some cases where it appears permissible to perform a rescue at someone’s expense, and other cases where it appears impermissible to do so. Existing explanations for our asymmetric moral judgments about such cases either fail to provide intuitive moral verdicts or lack a satisfying rationale. In this article, I propose a new explanation of what is morally problematic about certain rescues that is subject to neither issue. My proposal is a version of the means principle which adds the essential caveat that there is no moral presumption against using someone as a means to benefit herself. By attributing moral significance to the victim’s relationship to the beneficiary rather than the agent alone, my solution points to a new underlying rationale for the means principle as well as extensional and explanatory inadequacies in competing theories.
