Published: September 2024

Abstract
This review synthesizes the current scenario of Internet of Things (IoT) electronic solutions for energy harvesting, presenting an extensive analysis of existing technologies, trends, and emerging paradigms. The study examines various energy harvesting methods, including solar, vibration, and thermal technologies, and evaluates their efficiency, scalability, and applicability to indoor IoT applications. Special emphasis is placed on the integration of power storage systems, with a comparative assessment of traditional batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid configurations. In addition to exploring energy sources, the review investigates strategies to optimize IoT device power consumption. This encompasses an examination of low-power design techniques such as impedance matching circuits, rectifiers, voltage multipliers, and DC-DC or AC-DC converters, along with an exploration of sleep modes and wake-up mechanisms. Communication protocols within the IoT domain are scrutinized for their energy efficiency, analyzing the trade-offs between data transmission overhead and power consumption. The study further explores techniques for aggregating energy from multiple sources within energy harvesting systems. This comprehensive investigation significantly contributes to existing knowledge by providing insights into the intricacies of energy-harvesting devices.
Property | Equity
Authors: McFarlane Ben 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that equitable property rights are best seen as distinct in form from both legal property rights and personal rights. Peter Birks’ taxonomy can ultimately be seen as focused on identifying the events that give rise to particular types of right. The chapter explains that Birks’ scheme for private law fails to accord sufficient weight to the distinctiveness of equitable property rights, effectively overlooking the possibility of a third type of right: what might be called ‘persistent rights’. The chapter notes that one achievement of equity has been bypassing the crucial borderline between property rights and personal rights.
Property | Unjust Enrichment
Authors: Scott Helen 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter outlines the borderline between property and unjust enrichment, which varies between different legal cultures. It discusses enrichment by interference with the claimant's right in the civilian tradition, in accordance with German, South African, and Scottish law, before contrasting enrichment by interference with the claimant’s right in English law. The chapter notes that German law accords extensive protection to the security of third party receipts through its treatment of unauthorised dispositions. The chapter claims that what could plausibly be dealt with as instances of unjust enrichment in English law are dealt with in the German law of property. It explains that the exclusion of restitution for wrongs from common law unjust enrichment diminishes the scope of the category.
Borderlines in Private Law: A Response
Authors: Stevens Robert 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter responds to and draws unifying themes out of all the other chapters in the collection. It reviews the extent of each of the borderlines in private law mentioned in the book and responds to a number of the claims contained within it. The chapter provides an overview of the interplay and application of the central concepts of contracts, torts, property, equity, and unjust enrichment. It also offers a principled critique of the UK Supreme Court’s recent decision in Guest v Guest. It expresses the hope that, in the fullness of time, the courts will abolish the doctrine of proprietary estoppel.
Domenico Gabrielli (1651/1659–1690)
Authors: Wilson Miranda 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The cello originated during the Baroque era. The youngest member of the violin family, it went through many variations in size and string tuning before instrument builders and string manufacturers reached a consensus. The earliest solo cello repertoire comes from seventeenth-century Bologna with the pioneering Ricercare of Domenico Gabrielli. After that, the cello rose in popularity across Europe. It superseded the viola da gamba in popularity in France, where Jean-Baptiste Barrière composed his four books of sonatas. In Germany, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Suites created a cello repertoire as complex and distinguished as that of the violin. In Italy, traditions of virtuosity in Baroque cello playing culminated in the sonatas and concertos of Antonio Vivaldi.
Luigi Boccherini (1743–1805)
Authors: Wilson Miranda 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
By the late eighteenth century, improvements to cello technique made the instrument the equal of the violin in terms of virtuosity. The prolific cellist-composer Luigi Boccherini bridged the Baroque and Classical style periods with demanding sonatas and concertos that further extended the cello technique, often requiring the cellist to play in the highest registers. In the Austro-Hungarian lands, cello concertos by Joseph Haydn showcased the top European players at the courts of music-loving aristocrats. All over Europe, developments in playing technique gave the cello additional credibility as a solo instrument for concertos and sonatas. Ludwig van Beethoven, whose friends included the best cellists of his day, gave the cello equal footing with the piano in his landmark A major sonata.
Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921)
Authors: Wilson Miranda 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Nineteenth-century solidarity among French composers led to new directions in the cello repertoire. The mercurial First Cello Concerto of Saint-Saëns exerted noticeable influence over the Spanish-inflected Cello Concerto of Lalo and the late Romantic (or early Impressionist) melodic and harmonic language of Fauré’s beloved Élégie. In turn, Fauré’s work may be considered the direct predecessors of the more modernist styles of Debussy. Even if the Impressionist and neo-Baroque language of Debussy’s Cello Sonata seems far removed from the diatonic Élegie, the composer himself acknowledged Fauré’s impact on his work. With its subtle allusions to French patriotism, Debussy’s late-in-life wartime composition combines old and new by assimilating past styles into post-tonal melody and harmony.
Zoltán Kodály (1882–1967)
Authors: Wilson Miranda 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Three composers from Eastern Europe, Zoltán Kodály, György Ligeti, and Sofia Gubaidulina, withstood political turbulence in their Communist homelands to become leaders in their field. Their music for solo cello conveys highly individualistic musical languages. Kodály’s sonata, a titanic work demanding transcendent grasp of the technique, integrates material from his Hungarian folk song collections.Ligeti’s sonata, a much shorter work, augments an early single-movement composition with a follow-up movement in his mature style. Gubaidulina’s Ten Preludes, which began life as technical etudes, combine seemingly oppositional forces such as mathematical and religious symbolism to create new forms and structures while simultaneously extending the cello technique.
Arvo Pärt (b. 1935)
Authors: Wilson Miranda 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The minimalist movement of the 1960s began as a kind of experimental music in the United States. Minimalist composers reacted against the atonal styles of the avant-garde through the use of non-functional diatonicism, repetitive patterns, the use of drones, and other means of limiting musical materials. Several American minimalist composers looked to Asian religions for spiritual and musical influence, but their European counterparts had no need of this, turning instead to their own devout religious beliefs. These composers became known as the holy minimalists. In his Spiegel im Spiegel for cello and piano, the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt uses repetition to convey the idea of infinite reflection. John Tavener, in The Protecting Veil, uses minimalist techniques to chronicle the story of a miraculous vision of the Virgin Mary.
Beyond wingbeats: dispersal capacity and morphophysiological determinants in Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous pest impacting numerous economic crops. This impact is facilitated by its long-range dispersal capacity, which can lead to the colonization of new cultivated areas in the agricultural landscape and the potential spread of insecticide-resistant populations. Despite these negative implications, it is unclear how ecological and morphological factors influence H. zea flight capacity. Here, we investigated the dispersal capacity and morphophysiological determinants of the flight performance of H. zea. Tethered flight mill experiments were conducted to examine the impact of mating status, age [young (2-day-old), middle-aged (3- to 6-day-old), or old (7- to 9-day-old)], and sex on the flight capacity of moths under controlled conditions. We found that the flight capacity was not influenced by mating status or the number of mature eggs. Males flew faster than females, and middle-aged moths’ flight had higher performance (speed, time, and distance) than young and old moths. Body size and wing-to-thorax ratio negatively influenced the moth flight time. Male’s body size was larger than females, but they had a smaller forewing area and smaller wing-to-thorax ratio. Middle-aged moths exhibited the highest likelihood of engaging in migratory movements (&gt; 10 km). Finally, oogenesis-flight syndrome was not detected, confirming the hypothesis of facultative migration in this species. Our results enhance our understanding of the factors influencing the flight behavior of H. zea, which can be used to predict the long-range capacity of infestation of this species, and the spread of resistance genes to management tools, such as insecticides and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins expressed in transgenic crops.
Novel methods to construct a representative sample for surveying California’s unhoused population: the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness
Authors: Wesson Paul , Graham-Squire Dave , Perry Eve , Assaf Ryan D , Kushel Margot 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Existing literature on people experiencing homelessness (PEH) draws on non-representative samples from service providers, populations with comorbidities, or areas with disproportionately high sheltered homelessness, leading to bias. Nearly a third of PEH in the US and over half of unsheltered PEH live in California. We designed a rigorous state-representative survey of PEH to investigate the antecedents of homelessness, understand health, and inform policy solutions.
The multistage design randomized at three levels: county, venue, and individual. Stratifying the state into eight regions, we sampled one county per region to reflect statewide demographics. Within counties, sampled venues matched the expected proportion of sheltered and unsheltered residents. Within venues, interviewers randomly sampled individuals. We adjusted for nonresponse and incorporated poststratification to benchmarks. In parallel, respondent-driven sampling reached subpopulations through social networks who may otherwise have been under-sampled. Our community-engaged study yielded 3200 quantitative surveys. We purposively sampled 365 participants for qualitative interviews. Demographic estimates match those found in the PIT with the added strength of statistical inference.
This is the first large representative study of PEH, beyond a single county, to draw inference on a large population that did not depend on service utilization. Our methods may inform future efforts to understand homelessness.
Symptoms and Diabetes among Chinese Middle-Aged and Elderly Adults with Prediabetes: A National Cohort Study
Authors: Wang Weiwei , Zhang Chen , Song Yongfeng , Wang Gang , Lv Xiaozhen , Zhong Xia 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We aimed to assess the association between depressive symptoms and the risk of transition from prediabetes to diabetes. We included 3,956 adults with prediabetes aged 45 years and above in 2011. Participants with a ten-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) score of 10 or higher were classified as having depressive symptoms. Incident diabetes was defined as a self-reported physician diagnosis of diabetes, or treatment with glucose-lowering medication in 2013, 2015, or 2018. Among 3, 956 participants (mean age was 59.53 years old and 53.29% were female), the proportion of depressive symptoms was 36.50% in 2011. During the 24,831 person-years of follow-up, 458 participants developed diabetes and the incidence rate was 18.44 (95% CI 16.83 to 20.21) per 1000 person-years. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with a higher risk of incident diabetes (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.59). In addition, the association was in a dose-response fashion (P trend &lt; 0.001). Compared with the CES-D &lt;10 group, the HRs (95% CI) were 1.21 (0.98 to 1.49) in the 10≤ CES-D &lt;21 group, and 1.95 (1.38 to 2.75) in the CES-D ≥ 21 group. Depressive symptoms were shown as an independent risk factor for the progression from prediabetes to diabetes.
Single World Intervention Graphs (SWIGs): A Practical Guide
Authors: Bezuidenhout Dana , Forthal Sarah , Rudolph Kara , Lamb Matthew R 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article offers a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to visualizing causal theories using Single World Intervention Graphs (SWIGs). We begin with a discussion of the potential outcomes approach to causality and limitations of using Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) under this framework. We then introduce SWIGs as a simple but powerful tool for integrating potential outcomes explicitly into causal diagrams. The article provides a step-by-step guide on transforming DAGs into SWIGs that includes practical insights into constructing SWIGs under various scenarios such as confounding, mediation, and sequential randomization. Highlighting the utility of SWIGs in practice, we illustrate their application in identifying the g-formula, showcasing their capacity to make causal estimands visually explicit. This article serves as a resource for epidemiologists and researchers interested in expanding their causal inference toolkit.

Abstract
Accurate labeling of specific layers in the human cerebral cortex is crucial for advancing our understanding of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Building on recent advancements in ultra-high-resolution ex vivo MRI, we present a novel semi-supervised segmentation model capable of identifying supragranular and infragranular layers in ex vivo MRI with unprecedented precision. On a dataset consisting of 17 whole-hemisphere ex vivo scans at 120 $\mu $m, we propose a Multi-resolution U-Nets framework that integrates global and local structural information, achieving reliable segmentation maps of the entire hemisphere, with Dice scores over 0.8 for supra- and infragranular layers. This enables surface modeling, atlas construction, anomaly detection in disease states, and cross-modality validation while also paving the way for finer layer segmentation. Our approach offers a powerful tool for comprehensive neuroanatomical investigations and holds promise for advancing our mechanistic understanding of progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
Employer branding and monopsony power in the labour market: a vignette experiment
Authors: Detilleux Céline , Deschacht Nick 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Many firms engage in marketing efforts to improve their image as an employer (employer branding [EB]). This article re-conceptualises EB as an instrument used by firms to increase their monopsonistic power (Robinson, 1933), that is, the power of firms to set wages below the level that would be expected in a competitive labour market. To test this hypothesis, we perform a vignette experiment using original data collected via Amazon Mechanical Turk in which we randomly vary wage offers at employer-branded and not-branded firms. Our results indicate that employer-branded firms possess more monopsonistic power, particularly over male workers. We conclude by arguing that the wage-setting power of firms not only arises from illegal practices and clear aberrations of the economic system—as is the dominant discourse—but also from certain legal and widely accepted business practices.
Vieussens’ arterial ring forming a coronary–pulmonary artery fistula with large aneurysmal dilatation: a case report
Authors: Moriyama Shuji , Nakata Kosuke , Doi Hideki , Matsumura Toshiyuki , Fukui Toshihiro 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
Vieussens’ arterial ring (VAR) is an embryonic conotruncal ring remnant that represents a rare vascular anomaly involving a connection between the right coronary artery (RCA) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD). We describe a unique case of VAR associated with large aneurysmal dilatation, which presents as the formation of a fistula between the coronary artery and pulmonary artery.

Case summary
An 80-year-old Japanese woman presented with an asymptomatic mediastinal mass that was incidentally detected on computed tomography. Subsequent imaging over 2 years revealed the progression of the two masses connecting the RCA to the LAD measuring 8 × 7 mm and 28 × 21 mm in diameter. Transthoracic echocardiography identified a cystic lesion anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract, and colour Doppler imaging confirmed flow into the pulmonary artery. Furthermore, coronary angiography revealed a large aneurysm arising from the LAD, with an efferent vessel communicating with the pulmonary artery. Surgical intervention involved resection of the aneurysms and closure of the coronary–pulmonary artery fistula, which yielded favourable postoperative outcomes.

Discussion
Vieussens’ arterial ring is a rare but clinically significant anomaly with varied presentations; the incidence of VAR remains uncertain. In this case, surgical resection and closure of the fistula were performed to mitigate the risk of rupture and to address the potential haemodynamic consequences. Understanding and documenting such cases will contribute to refining treatment approaches and improving patient care in cardiovascular medicine.
Bede and Gregory of Tours: A Reconsideration
Authors: Merrington John 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Although the Historiae of Gregory of Tours (composed in the late sixth century) has frequently been invoked as an influence on Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum (composed circa 731), no detailed study of this connection has hitherto been attempted. This article first addresses the manuscript tradition of the Historiae, demonstrating that there were at least two versions of Gregory’s text in circulation in Bede’s time, and that it matters significantly which version Bede encountered. It then compares the two texts in order to assess the case that Bede was influenced by his reading of the Historiae, firstly in analysing some of the sections of the Historia Ecclesiastica where Bede might have drawn on historical material from it, and secondly by considering the case for influence between the two authors at a structural and thematic level. It emerges that Bede almost certainly did not have access to a full ten-book version of the Historiae at the time of writing the Historia Ecclesiastica, but that his reading of the shorter, ‘B’ recension of Gregory’s text helped him to develop the scope of his own work as a geographically bounded Church history. The article concludes by arguing that Bede’s accomplishment as a historian should be located in the context of a historiographical renaissance that was already underway in the post-Roman west.

Abstract
Patients presenting with or alerting emergency networks due to acute heart failure (AHF) form a diverse group with a plethora of symptoms, risks, comorbidities, and aetiologies. During AHF, there is an increased risk of destabilizing the functional substrate and modulatory adding to the risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) already created by the structural substrate. New VAs during AHF have previously identified patients with higher intra-hospital and 60-day morbidity and mortality. Risk stratification and criteria/best time point for coronary intervention and implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation, however, are still controversial topics in this difficult clinical setting. The characteristics and logistics of pre-hospital emergency medicine, as well as the density of centres capable of treating AHF and VAs, differ massively throughout Europe. Scientific guidelines provide clear recommendations for the management of arrhythmias in patients with chronic heart failure. However, the incidence, significance, and management of arrhythmias in patients with AHF have been less studied. This consensus paper aimed to address the identification and treatment of VAs that complicate the course of patients who have AHF, including cardiogenic shock.
Revisiting the role of the spindle assembly checkpoint in the formation of gross chromosomal rearrangements in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Yao Yue , Yin Ziqing , Rosas Bringas Fernando R , Boudeman Jonathan , Novarina Daniele , Chang Michael 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Multiple pathways are known to suppress the formation of gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs), which can cause human diseases including cancer. In contrast, much less is known about pathways that promote their formation. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), which ensures the proper separation of chromosomes during mitosis, has been reported to promote GCR, possibly by delaying mitosis to allow GCR-inducing DNA repair to occur. Here, we show that this conclusion is the result of an experimental artifact arising from the synthetic lethality caused by the disruption of the SAC and loss of the CIN8 gene, which is often lost in the genetic assay used to select for GCRs. After correcting for this artifact, we find no role of the SAC in promoting GCR.
