Authors: Zhao Guobao , Zheng Xi , Huang Xiao , Lu Yijun , Chen Zhong , Guo Weijie 
Published: October 2024

AbstractMini-LED backlight has emerged as a promising technology for high performance LCDs, yet the massive detection of dead pixels and precise LEDs placement are constrained by the miniature scale of the Mini-LEDs. The high-resolution network (Hrnet) with mixed dilated convolution and dense upsampling convolution (MDC-DUC) module and a residual global context attention (RGCA) module has been proposed to detect the quality of vehicular Mini-LED backlights. The proposed model outperforms the baseline networks of Unet, Pspnet, Deeplabv3+, and Hrnet, with a mean intersection over union (Miou) of 86.91%. Furthermore, compared to the four baseline detection networks, our proposed model has a lower root-mean-square error (RMSE) when analyzing the position and defective count of Mini-LEDs in the prediction map by canny algorithm. This work incorporates deep learning to support production lines improve quality of Mini-LED backlights.

The Lived Experiences and Well-Being of Female Partners Following Discovery or Disclosure of Their Male Partner’s Compulsive Sexual Behaviours: An Australian Phenomenological Study
Authors: Seyed Aghamiri Fakri , Luetz Johannes M. , Hills Karenne 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Introduction
There has been an upsurge of research articles in the last two decades about sexual addiction (SA) and compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB). In the literature, SA/CSB is mainly presented as comparable to other behavioural addictions and similarly involves a problematic consumption model: loss of control, psychosocial impairments, and risky sexual activities. Despite this recent rise in research interest in this area, only a small number of studies have focused on the partners’ lived experiences and well-being.

Methods
This qualitative descriptive phenomenological investigation aimed to examine female partners’ lived experiences and well-being following the discovery or disclosure of their male partners’ SA/CSB. Individual in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted (2020–2022) with primary participants (female partners; n = 12) and supplementary participants (counsellors; n = 15).

Results
The analysis reveals that this group has encountered several detrimental consequences of CSB-associated betrayal trauma (BT), including but not limited to suicidal thoughts and self-harm, compulsive self-comparisons with other women, physical and behavioural difficulties, and diminished self-esteem.

Conclusions
This empirical research is the first study in Australia to examine the voices and experiences of female partners upon learning of their mates’ CSBs. The findings contribute to the field of SA/CSB and enhance understanding of the multifarious consequences for the emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual and/or relational well-being of intimate female partners and their general outlook on life.

Policy Implications
Based on the results, there are strong indications with implications for policy that this population requires validation and multifaceted support systems to better navigate the challenging, complex, and stressful processes of discovery/disclosure and subsequent recovery.
Modelling monetary and non-monetary flows of recreational ecosystem services in Germany
Authors: Hermes Johannes , Albert Christian , von Haaren Christina 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
While policy interest and research on recreational ecosystem services (RES) has increased substantially, insights into the actual flows of benefits to people have remained scarce, especially at levels beyond local communities. This paper aims to model RES Flows and Benefits for Germany in monetary and non-monetary terms. We use Germany as a case study due its diversity of landscapes and availability of relevant spatial and empirical data. We develop and apply an assessment approach that considers RES Demand and Supply based on user preferences. Our results show distinct demand–supply matches and mismatches, for example in southwest Germany, and highest flows near population centres. Monetary benefits are highest in counties with high RES Supply that are close to densely populated areas. Our results can usefully inform planning and decision-making, for example to improve and further justify destination management, landscape development, and investments in RES at local, regional, and national levels.
Traditional herders’ perception of job satisfaction and integration into society: Another obstacle to the survival of pastoralism?
Authors: Pérez-Barbería F. Javier , Brewer Mark J. , Gordon Iain J. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractPastoralism is gaining in recognition for its provision of a broad range of ecosystem services. However, in Western countries, especially in Europe, it has been in decline for decades and its future is uncertain. Professional satisfaction, social appreciation and community integration are key factors for the sustainability of any activity. Using information from 167 traditional Spanish herders, we assessed their perceived degree of satisfaction with their profession and the reasons behind their perceptions. Herders were extremely satisfied with their profession, but they perceived medium and low levels of appreciation by the rural and urban sectors of society, respectively. Herders had negative feelings about the sustainability of their profession, as they felt more appreciated by society in the past than they do today, half of them did not want their offspring to make a living as herders. Improving communication between herders and society could help to enhance herders’ appreciation of their profession.

Abstract
Small and medium pelagic fish (SMPF, i.e. Scomber colias, Trachurus spp, Sardina pilchardus, and Sardinella spp) in the Canary Islands are mainly targeted by the artisanal purse-seine fleet. The waters in the archipelago (located in the coastal transition zone of the Canary Current Eastern Boundary Upwelling System) are monitored since the late nineties by a hydrographic section (RAPROCAN) designed to study the temporal variability of the eastern subtropical gyre. In this study we analyse the relationship between the SMPF abundance assumed from official sale notes (reported since 2007) and several oceanographic parameters obtained for the outermost water layer (Sea Surface Temperature, SST, and concentration of chlorophyll a, Chla) and from the 200–800 m depth waters (Sea Temperature, ST_200–800, and salinity, Salinity_200–800). Except for SST, statistically significant correlations occur between environmental variables and SMPF landings when one-year time-lag is considered, matching with the time period necessary for these species to attain legal catchable sizes and, hence, being catchable by the fishery. However, in the GLM only Chla resulted a significant explaining variable for the SMPF landings during the following year, probably because this strong correlation overshadows the ST_200–800 influence. Keeping the monitoring systems is crucial to understand, foresee and anticipate potential variations in the fishery resources and to aim the sustainable exploitation of the SMPF populations, even more challenging in the current climate change scenario.
‘Divine deceit’ or the ‘devil's delusion’? Gregory of Nazianzus on Christ's defeat of the devil
Authors: Thomas Gabrielle 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis essay considers Gregory of Nazianzus’ allusion to ‘divine deceit’, a motif related to the so-called ‘Christus Victor’ theory of atonement. This allusion is curious when we recall that for Gregory, the devil, not God, is the master of deception. When we treat On the Lights (Or. 39) as a literary unit – which commentators have yet to do – we see that Gregory makes several doctrinal affirmations before alluding to what is known as ‘divine deceit’. In this doctrinal discussion, Gregory draws upon the Platonic distinction between the orders of being and becoming as described in the Timaeus. He then alludes to ‘divine deceit’ with respect to the order of ‘becoming’, which bears the possibility of being misapprehended because it is ‘grasped by opinion’. The devil's ‘opinion’ of himself and of Christ, therefore, is suspect. Death – or rather, Christ's vanquishment of it – is the moment of reckoning. Since God alone can defeat death, Christ's putting death to death is the only certain way for the devil to recognise that the ‘Son of Man’ is, after all, the ‘Son of God’. The ‘devil's delusion’, then – not ‘divine deceit’ – best summarises Gregory's understanding of this moment in the history of salvation.
A Source of Confusion: New Archaeological Evidence for the Dorchester Aqueduct
Authors: Manley Harry , Cheetham Paul , Stewart Dave , Russell Miles 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe Dorchester Aqueduct, located to the north-west of Dorchester (Durnovaria) in Dorset, is arguably the most famous and well-examined Roman watercourse in Britain. The aqueduct has been intermittently investigated over the course of the last 100 years, but most extensively during the 1990s. The upper stretches of the aqueduct and its source have, however, eluded archaeologists, with multiple routes and water sources being suggested. A new programme of geophysical and topographic survey, combined with targeted investigation together with a reappraisal of the excavations from the 1990s, has provided additional evidence for the route of the aqueduct, extending its course for a further two kilometres to Notton on the River Frome.
A novel hybrid information-based PF-WOA algorithm for gas source localization in 3D space
Authors: Wang Li , Ren Ziyu , Fan Shurui , Zhang Yong 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn recent years, dangerous gas leakage events occur frequently. Rapid and accurate location of gas leakage sources by mobile robots is the key to avoid the expansion of disasters. In order to solve the problem of discontinuous gas concentration gradient and sparse gas environment in three-dimensional space, particle filter, and whale swarm optimization algorithm are integrated to locate gas source. Firstly, the Z-shape search and comb search are used to locate the plume, and then, the particle filter algorithm is combined with the whale optimization method to guide the particle movement, and the random inertial disturbance term is designed to improve the convergence speed and search accuracy of the algorithm. Experimental results in three-dimensional environment show that the proposed information-driven particle filter whale optimization hybrid algorithm effectively guides the robot in localizing gas source within a certain range, significantly enhancing both the efficiency and accuracy of localization compared to other algorithms.

Abstract

Objective:
This study aimed to describe and compare the nutrient intake of young adults in the African Prospective Study on the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension (African-PREDICT) study according to ethnicity and socio-economic status (SES).

Design:
Cross-sectional analysis of baseline nutrient intakes in the African-PREDICT study.

Setting:
North West Province, South Africa

Participants:
Black and white adults (n 1153), aged 20–30 years, were classified into three SES groups. Dietary data were collected using three multiple-pass 24-h dietary recalls.

Results:
Among all participants, over 70 % failed to meet the estimated energy requirements and the estimated average requirements (EAR) for seventeen of the nineteen reported micronutrients. Across SES groups, more than 50 % of participants consistently did not meet the EAR for Ca, Mg, folate, pantothenic acid and biotin, as well as vitamins A, C, D and E. Participants’ distribution by nutrient pattern tertiles showed high adherence to two patterns: one rich in animal protein and saturated fat, and the other in Mg, potassium, Ca, phosphorus and fibre. This was seen only in white participants and high SES. Black participants and low SES showed higher adherence to a plant protein, B-vitamins, Zn and Fe nutrient pattern.

Conclusions:
The dietary intake of young adults in this study was restricted, with none of the groups meeting nutrient requirements for essential nutrients. Further research is needed to establish a direct link between nutrient patterns and the early detection and identification of CVD and hypertension.

Abstract

Purpose:
This study compares tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) across different hypo-fractionated (HypoRT) and conventional breast radiotherapy regimens using radiobiological models.

Materials and methods:
Computed tomography data from 30 patients with left breast-conserving surgery were used to evaluate three HypoRT regimens (39 Gy and 41·6 Gy in 13 fractions, and 40 Gy in 15 fractions) and a conventional regimen (50 Gy in 25 fractions). Dose-volume histograms (DVHs) were extracted for radiobiological calculations using Equivalent Uniform Dose (EUD) and Poisson models for TCP, and EUD and LKB (Lyman-Kutcher-Burman) models for NTCP.

Results:
Conventional treatment achieved significantly higher TCP (95%) than all HypoRT regimens (p < 0·001), with no significant differences between HypoRT regimens (p > 0·05. The 39 Gy/13 fraction regimen showed the lowest lung NTCP (p < 0·05). HypoRT regimens had significantly lower NTCP for the lungs and heart compared to the conventional regimen (p < 0·01). TCP and NTCP values from Poisson and LKB models were higher than those from the EUD model (p < 0·01).

Conclusion:
HypoRT regimens reduced NTCP, with the lowest values in the regime of 39 Gy/13 fractions regimen, though the conventional regimen had higher TCP.
Catamorphic Abstractions for Constrained Horn Clause Satisfiability
Authors: DE ANGELIS EMANUELE , FIORAVANTI FABIO , PETTOROSSI ALBERTO , PROIETTI MAURIZIO 
Published: October 2024

AbstractCatamorphisms are functions that are recursively defined on list and trees and, in general, on algebraic data types (ADTs), and are often used to compute suitable abstractions of programs that manipulate ADTs. Examples of catamorphisms include functions that compute size of lists, orderedness of lists, and height of trees. It is well known that program properties specified through catamorphisms can be proved by showing the satisfiability of suitable sets of constrained Horn clauses (CHCs). We address the problem of checking the satisfiability of those sets of CHCs, and we propose a method for transforming sets of CHCs into equisatisfiable sets where catamorphisms are no longer present. As a consequence, clauses with catamorphisms can be handled without extending the satisfiability algorithms used by existing CHC solvers. Through an experimental evaluation on a nontrivial benchmark consisting of many list and tree processing algorithms expressed as sets of CHCs, we show that our technique is indeed effective and significantly enhances the performance of state-of-the-art CHC solvers.
Disinfecting the Dead, Sanitizing Empire: The Cultural Memory of Fallen Soldiers in Cuba
Authors: Bontrager Shannon 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe misremembering by Americans of the Spanish-Cuban-American War was not an accident of either time or place. Rather, it was a collaboration between the citizenry, political and business elites, and the military-industrial complex centered on the cult of the fallen soldier. As businessmen carved up the Cuban landscape and the military occupied Guantanamo Bay, the war dead played one last service of memory. American commemoration of fallen soldiers acted as a shroud to obscure the practices of American imperialism. The recovery of the war dead thus provides an interesting example of how officials wanted Americans to remember the conflict. Most of the fallen died from disease rather than combat. Recovering the war dead thus entailed an elaborate process of sanitizing the “sick” dead and disinfecting the remains of warriors buried in foreign and tropical soil to repatriate them back to the United States. The metaphorical intersected with the medical in presenting dead soldiers from an imperialistic war with “clean and sterile bones” that would neither threaten the health of the general public nor their collective memory. Such a re-presentation would help shape how Americans remember a clean and sterile “Splendid Little War” without acknowledging the mucky details of empire-building.
Blue Gums, Black Bodies, White Supremacy: Narratives of Racial Contagion in the Late Nineteenth Century
Authors: Cox David G. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis article explores the sudden spate of stories concerning the so-called “blue gum negro” (the Blue Gum) that circulated in the national press from the late 1880s to the late 1890s. These reports concerned purportedly blue-gummed, Black assailants, whose bite was alleged to be poisonous, and of whom African Americans were supposedly terrified. This article argues that, although these narratives reinforced white notions of Black criminality and credulity, they marked a particular moment of racialization, in which fears of bodily contagion, generated by the recent revolution in germ theory, were harnessed to notions of embodied racial difference, to express and galvanize white anxieties about racial impurity. Because Blue Gums embodied dysgenic menace, white journalists and writers were often reluctant to disavow their existence, instead capitalizing on the slippage between figurative and literal language that characterized discourse on race. However, in appropriating Black culture and presenting a figure from folklore as a racial type, white writers betrayed not only the essentially superstitious character of racial thought but also the interwoven nature of dominant and subjugated cultures in the United States.
Isolation, pathogenicity, and safety evaluation of a pathogen from buffalobur (Solanum rostratum) in China
Authors: Yan Wenfeng , Zheng Wanting , Zheng Yanan 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBuffalobur (Solanum rostratum Dunal) is an invasive weed in China, and identifying its pathogens is crucial for developing effective biological control measures. In this study, leaf samples from S. rostratum showing typical disease symptoms were collected in Liaoning and Jilin provinces, China. The isolated fungal pathogens were identified based on their morphological characteristics and by using molecular biology techniques. Pathogenicity was assessed by artificially inoculating spore suspensions from the fungal pathogen onto the seeds, isolated leaves, and plants of S. rostratum. The safety of the fungal pathogens for eight other plant species was also evaluated. We then identified the following five fungal pathogens causing disease in S. rostratum in Liaoning and Jilin provinces: Alternaria alternata, Epicoccum sorghinum, Fusarium equiseti, Curvularia hawaiiensis, and Nigrospora oryzae. These fungal pathogens exhibited pathogenicity, with N. oryzae exhibiting the strongest pathogenicity and highest safety. Nigrospora oryzae demonstrated the highest inhibition rate against the radicle germination length of S. rostratum and showed robust pathogenicity toward both isolated leaves and plants. Notably, despite inducing mild reactions in corn (Zea mays L.), grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], rice (Oryza sativa L)., and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), N. oryzae did not have any detrimental effect on the growth of these plants.
A Global Evaluation of Radar‐Derived Digital Elevation Models: SRTM, NASADEM, and GLO‐30

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study evaluates global radar‐derived digital elevation models (DEMs), namely the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), NASADEM and GLO‐30 DEMs. We evaluate their accuracy over bare‐earth terrain and characterize elevation biases induced by forests using global Lidar measurements from the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat)'s Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) and the ICESat‐2 Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instruments collected on locally flat terrain. Our analysis is based on error statistics calculated for each DEM tile, which are then summarized as global error percentiles, providing a regional characterization of DEM quality. We find NASADEM to be a significant improvement upon the SRTM V3. Over bare ground areas, the mean elevation bias and root mean square error (RMSE) improved from 0.68 to 2.50 m respectively to 0.00 and 1.5 m as compared to ICESat/GLAS. GLO‐30 is more accurate with bare ground elevation bias and RMSE were below 0.05 and 0.55 m. Similar improvements were observed when compared to GEDI and ICESat‐2 measurements. The DEM biases associated with the presence of vegetation vary linearly with canopy height, and more closely follow the percentile of Lidar Relative Height (RH50). Other factors such as canopy density, radar frequency and Lidar technology also contribute to observed elevation biases. This global analysis highlights the potential of various technologies for mapping of Earth's topography, and the need for more advanced remote sensing observations that can resolve vegetation structure and sub‐canopy ground elevation.
Measurement of the Taylor Microscale and the Effective Magnetic Reynolds Number in the Solar Wind With Cluster

Published: October 2024

AbstractWe use magnetic field data from the Cluster mission to estimate the value of the Taylor microscale and the effective magnetic Reynolds number in the interplanetary solar wind. Turbulent cascades can be characterized by the spatial scale at which dissipation begins to impact the local energy transfer, estimated by the Taylor microscale, as well as the separation between the injection and dissipation scales, estimated by the effective magnetic Reynolds number. Estimating the Taylor microscale requires measurements of the autocorrelation function at small separations. The Cluster spacecraft have exceptionally sensitive search coil magnetometers with high time resolution, making them ideal for measuring the Taylor microscale. We obtain a value of km; smaller than most previous measurements. We interpret this value as being smaller due to the higher time resolution, enabling the curvature of the autocorrelation function to be measured closer to the origin, giving a more accurate measurement. Combining the Taylor Microscale's computed value with concurrent correlation length measurements, we obtain a value of for the effective magnetic Reynolds number, which compares well to other observations. The four spacecraft of Cluster also allow directions transverse to the flow to be surveyed. The small separations (7 km) of Clusters 3 and 4 show that the Taylor microscale may vary as a function of direction to the mean magnetic field direction. The observed differences are small, requiring more observations to confirm this anisotropy.
