Published: October 2024

Abstract
GHz voltage amplification was found in a stacked structure of piezoelectric layers (such as ScAlN) and non-piezoelectric layers (such as SiO2). This allows for large-area fabrication using commercial equipment. This approach contributes to wireless sensor activation. The electromechanical coupling coefficients k
t
2 of the input and output layers were found to be 17.6% and 13.7%, respectively. An experimental open-circuit voltage gain of 4.5 (+13 dB) at 0.8 GHz was observed, with a maximum transmission loss (S21) of −5 dB. The experimental result shows good agreement with the theoretical prediction simulated by the electromechanical transmission line model.
The features of the theoretical training of the ancient Roman military
Authors: Oliynyk Mykola 
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article. To investigate the specifics of the training of senior officers of the Roman army in the Late Republican period and the Early Principate. To outline the peculiarities of the study of military theory by the senior command staff of the legion, as well as to prove the probability of the existence of specialized libraries among the Roman elite, which consisted of the works of Greek and Roman authors of the genre of military literature. Research methodology. The research methodology: comparative, analysis, synthesis and analytical analysis. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the problem of military education in Ancient Rome was comprehensively investigated for the first time. In particular, the peculiarities of the study of the theory of military affairs not only by representatives of the highest military command — those from the nobility, but also by "new people" (homines novi) — representatives of the riding class (equites) are analyzed. Conclusions. It has been proven that the senior officers were not illiterate in military affairs and quite successfully coped with the assigned tasks — both in the administrative field and on the battlefield. It is also determined that the responsibilities of the senior officers of the Roman army, in particular military commanders, in addition to knowledge and skills in the field of military art, also included understanding the psychology of ordinary soldiers and the art of eloquence (rhetoric). The latter was acquired not so much from experience as from studying the works of Greek orators and philosophers.

Salah satu penyebab pemanasan global adalah gas rumah kaca (GRK). Komposisi utama pada gas rumah kaca adalah karbon dioksida (CO2), metana (CH4), dan dinitrogen oksida (N2O) yang memiliki kemampuan untuk menahan panas di atmosfer. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji potensi emisi mulai dari menghitung beban dan harga emisi serta seberapa besar potensi elektrifikasi angkutan umum di Kota Palembang. Analisis potensi elektrifikasi angkutan umum di Kota Palembang menggunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), dengan 10 kriteria yang dinilai oleh 6 ahli. Perhitungan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) dibagi menjadi 2 (dua) perhitungan yaitu perhitungan menggunakan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel dan aplikasi Expert Choice versi 11.0. Hasilnya menunjukkan potensi elektrifikasi sebesar 53,79% dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel dan 53,3% dengan menggunakan aplikasi Expert Choice versi 11.0. Selain itu, terdapat 5 kriteria prioritas yaitu fitur keselamatan (19,2%), harga unit (16,8%), biaya perawatan (16,3%), kenyamanan (12,0%), dan infrastruktur pengisian (8,3%). Tantangan utama dalam elektrifikasi adalah harga unit, biaya perawatan, infrastruktur pengisian, dan waktu pengisian, di mana kendaraan berbahan bakar minyak lebih unggul pada kriteria tersebut. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah perlu meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas dari keempat kriteria ini untuk mendukung elektrifikasi dan meningkatkan manfaat lingkungan

Paciente do sexo feminino, 43 anos, classificado como ASA I, foi encaminha ao consultório particular de um endodontista. Ao exame clínico observou-se, presença de dor na percussão vertical e horizontal, resposta negativa ao teste de sensibilidade pulpar a frio realizado com gás refrigerante Endofrost -50°C (Roeko, Langenau, Alemanha). Após a realização radiográfico, constatou-se rarefação óssea periapical extensa, sugerindo cisto periapical no dente 22. Após abertura coronária houve drenagem via canal radicular. O preparo do canal foi realizado com instrumentos rotatórios Logic (40.01 e 40.05). Como a suspeita era de cisto periapical, o desbridamento foraminal foi feito com instrumento 45.01, três milímetros além forame, facilitando a drenagem do líquido acumulado na região periapical. A medicação intracanal foi feita com Ultracal por 15 dias e como a drenagem persistia, renovou-se com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio associada ao iodofórmio por 30 dias. A obturação do canal radicular foi executada pela técnica do cone único associado ao cimento endodôntico biocerâmico Bio-C Sealer. O controle foi feito após 6 meses da conclusão da terapia. Conclui-se que o tratamento endodôntico convencional realizado dentro das normas técnicas é suficiente para determinar o sucesso da terapia, permitindo uma neoformação óssea periapical com formação de osso medular.

BACKGROUND
The early diagnosis rate of esophageal cancer (EC), one of the most prevalent digestive tract cancers worldwide, remains low.
AIM
To investigate the utility of plasma SHOX2 , SEPTIN9 , EPO , and RNF180 methylation in the clinical diagnosis and monitoring of EC.
METHODS
Plasma samples were collected from 210 patients at Hubei Cancer Hospital, and TaqMan polymerase chain reaction was employed to detect plasma SHOX2 , SEPTIN9 , RNF180 , and EPO methylation. The area under the curve was used to estimate their diagnostic value for EC. Cox and logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the independent screening risk factors for patients with EC.
RESULTS
The sensitivity and specificity of combined assessment of plasma SHOX2 , SEPTIN9 , RNF180 , and EPO methylation for adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and EC detection were 66.67% and 86.27%, 77.40% and 85.29%, and 76.19% and 86.27%, respectively; the area under the curve values for diagnosing adenocarcinoma, SCC, and EC were 0.737 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.584–0.89], 0.824 (95%CI: 0.775–0.891), and 0.864 (95%CI: 0.809–0.92), respectively.
CONCLUSION
According to our findings, plasma SHOX2 , SEPTIN9 , RNF180 , and EPO methylation exhibits appreciated sensitivity for diagnosing EC. The precise measurement of plasma SHOX2 , SEPTIN9 , RNF180 , and EPO methylation can improve EC diagnosis and therapy efficacy monitoring.

BACKGROUND
Bevacizumab and sintilimab combined interventional treatment (BeSiIT) and L envatinib and sintilimab combined interventional treatment (LeSiIT) are two commonly used therapeutic regimens for intermediate-advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in clinical practice.
AIM
To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of BeSiIT and LeSiIT for the treatment of intermediate and advanced HCC.
METHODS
Patients diagnosed with intermediate-advanced HCC and initially treated with BeSiIT or LeSiIT in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between February 2020 and July 2021 were included. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), conversion rate, and treatment-related adverse events.
RESULTS
Total 127 patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into BeSiIT and LeSiIT groups. Twenty-eight and fifty patients in the BeSiIT and LeSiIT groups, respectively, were assessed after 1:2 propensity score matching. PFS and OS rates were not significantly different between the two groups. No significant variations were noted in ORRs or DCRs according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), and modified RECIST. BeSiIT group showed a better conversion rate than the LeSiIT group (P = 0.043). Both groups showed manageable toxicity profiles. Multivariate analysis showed that the independent factors associated with PFS were alpha-fetoprotein levels and carcinoembryonic antigen score.
CONCLUSION
In intermediate-to-advanced HCC, the BeSiIT and LeSiIT groups exhibited acceptable toxicities and comparable PFS, OS, and ORR.

Authors: Al-Sofi Soleen Jaladet , Atroshey Salih Mustafa S. , Ali Ismail Amin 
Published: October 2024

This paper explores how the integration and performance of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) contribute to sustainable healthcare practices. WBANs play a crucial role in reducing the environmental footprint of healthcare systems by providing continuous monitoring that can prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and reduce the consumption of disposable medical supplies. Additionally, the design of WBANs using environmentally friendly materials, low-power devices, and recyclable components is discussed to optimize the sustainability of healthcare practices. To enhance infrastructure, services, and quality of life, new technologies have been integrated to improve WBANs. Patients' essential health data may be continuously and instantly collected thanks to these networks, and healthcare providers can receive the data right away for quick analysis and action. WBANs have healthcare benefits, but there are also major drawbacks. Technologies that can combine low power consumption, minimal delay, and high enough data rates are needed for WBANs in order to support a variety of medical applications. The effectiveness of the LoRaWAN and IEEE 802.15.6 technologies in WBAN is assessed in this paper. With the use of seven crucial metrics which are throughput, arrival rate, delay, energy consumption, residual energy, network lifetime, and packet delivery ratio (PDR), this paper seeks to study which technology is appropriate with WBANs using NS3 as a simulation program. With network parameters, 1000 seconds, and 50 nodes, the paper evaluated the performance of each technology. The results show that IEEE 802.15.6 is superior in terms of throughput, PDR, and arrival rate whereas LoRaWAN is superior in terms of energy consumption, residual energy, network lifetime, and delay.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the light variation of KIC 8840638 using high-precision time-series data from the Kepler mission. The analysis reveals that this target is a new detached eclipsing binary system with a δ Scuti component, rather than a single δ Scuti star as previously known. The frequency analysis of short-cadence data reveals 95 significant frequencies, most of which lie in a frequency range of 23−32 day−1. Among them, seven independent frequencies are detected in the typical frequency range of δ Scuti stars, and they are identified as pressure modes. In addition, a possible large separation value of Δν = 36.5 ± 0.1 μHz is also detected with the Fourier transform (FT) and autocorrelation function (AC) analysis. The orbital frequency f
orb (= 0.320008 day−1) and its harmonics are also detected directly in the frequency spectrum. The binary modelings derived from PHOEBE indicate that this binary system is in detached configurations with a mass ratio of

​​​​​°. The derived parameters and binary evolutionary model suggest that the primary star is an object on the verge of leaving the main sequence with a temperature of ∼7600 K, while the secondary appears to be a cool component entering the giant branch with a temperature ∼3100 K lower than the primary. Moreover, this system may have undergone a mass ratio reversal, where the more massive star is the gainer component and the less massive one is the donor star.
Revisiting the Vertical Distribution of H i Absorbing Clouds in the Solar Neighborhood. II. Constraints from a Large Catalog of 21 cm Absorption Observations at High Galactic Latitudes
Authors: Rybarczyk Daniel R. , Wenger Trey V. , Stanimirović Snežana 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The cold neutral medium (CNM) is where neutral atomic hydrogen (H i) is converted into molecular clouds, so the structure and kinematics of the CNM are key drivers of galaxy evolution. Here we provide new constraints on the vertical distribution of the CNM using the recently developed kinematic_scaleheight software package and a large catalog of sensitive H i absorption observations. We estimate the thickness of the CNM in the solar neighborhood to be σ

z
∼ 50–90 pc, assuming a Gaussian vertical distribution. This is a factor of ∼2 smaller than typically assumed, indicating that the thickness of the CNM in the solar neighborhood is similar to that found in the inner Galaxy, consistent with recent simulation results. If we consider only structures with H i optical depths τ > 0.1 or column densities N(H i) > 1019.5 cm−2, which recent work suggests are thresholds for molecule formation, we find σ

z
∼ 50 pc. Meanwhile, for structures with τ < 0.1 or column densities N(H i) < 1019.5 cm−2, we find σ

z
∼ 120 pc. These thicknesses are similar to those derived for the thin- and thick-disk molecular cloud populations traced by CO emission, possibly suggesting that cold H i and CO are well mixed. Approximately 20% of CNM structures are identified as outliers, with kinematics that are not well explained by Galactic rotation. We show that some of these CNM structures—perhaps representing intermediate-velocity clouds—are associated with the Local Bubble wall. We compare our results to recent observations and simulations, and we discuss their implications for the multiphase structure of the Milky Way’s interstellar medium.

Abstract
Planet formation is strongly influenced by the composition and distribution of volatiles within protoplanetary disks. With JWST, it is now possible to obtain direct observational constraints on disk ices, as recently demonstrated by the detection of ice absorption features toward the edge-on HH 48 NE disk as part of the Ice Age Early Release Science program. Here, we introduce a new radiative transfer modeling framework designed to retrieve the composition and mixing status of disk ices using their band profiles, and apply it to interpret the H2O, CO2, and CO ice bands observed toward the HH 48 NE disk. We show that the ices are largely present as mixtures, with strong evidence for CO trapping in both H2O and CO2 ice. The HH 48 NE disk ice composition (pure versus polar versus apolar fractions) is markedly different from earlier protostellar stages, implying thermal and/or chemical reprocessing during the formation or evolution of the disk. We infer low ice-phase C/O ratios around 0.1 throughout the disk, and also demonstrate that the mixing and entrapment of disk ices can dramatically affect the radial dependence of the C/O ratio. It is therefore imperative that realistic disk ice compositions are considered when comparing planetary compositions with potential formation scenarios, which will fortunately be possible for an increasing number of disks with JWST.
