Abstract
Designing autonomous robotic systems for monitoring tasks in critical security scenarios requires more rigorous verification criteria. The losses associated with unsuccessful practical experiments are immeasurable, ranging from the simple loss of high-value-added equipment to those related to loss of life. This reality justifies the need to adopt an extensive framework of tools for realistic, efficient, and responsive computer simulation. This article proposes a novel integration architecture and combines open-source tools to promote the successful implementation of autonomous robotic systems in monitoring tasks. The proposed solution relies on consolidated tools like Robot Operating System (ROS), Gazebo Simulator, and ArduPilot FCU (Flight Control Unit). It includes full support for implementing XITL techniques (such as Model, Software, and Hardware) – in the Loop. Experimental results demonstrate the proposal’s effectiveness for a new model of autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) in a realistic environment, dedicated to environmental monitoring in challenging natural conditions, commonly found in a stretch of the Madeira River – Brazil, specifically at Santo Antônio hydroelectric plant.
Digitally mediated collaboration and participation: composing 10,427 miles and 11 hours apart
Authors: Black Pauline , Wilson Emily 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
COVID-19 presented many challenges while the shift to online learning also provided unexpected opportunities for music teachers. During the pandemic, two researchers who are teacher educators undertook a composing project with music teacher education students in Scotland and Australia in response to the theme: My Life in Isolation: A World Apart or Same Difference? Turino’s (2008) theory of participatory music making will be drawn upon to analyse this collaborative online music and video creation project. What participation means as a music-maker will be discussed. The paper argues for greater attention to the affordances of digital collaborative music technology tools to build the confidence of pre-service teachers to facilitate real-world composing projects to promote participation, collaboration and social interaction.
Whom Do Men Say That I Am?
Authors: Hislop Ian 
Published: September 2024

St John tells us in his gospel that St John the Baptist, when he saw our Lord coming to him, cried out: ‘Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world’ (John i, 29). The voice of the Baptist has from that moment challenged the world, for though John the Baptist died his martyr's death, the living voice of the Church still proclaims his message. To the world, to all mankind, she says: ‘Behold the Lamb of God'; and in saying this she forces the human race to make some answer to the question: ‘Whom do men say that I am?’ (Mark 8, 27.)Habit, or ignorance springing from indifference, seems to have made the question almost meaningless; or—and here, I think, we get a little nearer to the bone—it is half listened to, its implications half grasped, and then half uneasily, by a secret act of will, which is almost masked, even from ourselves; we avert our attention onto some less disturbing subject.

Abstract
In gaining word knowledge, children’s semantic representations are initially imprecise before becoming gradually refined. We developed and tested a framework for a digital receptive vocabulary assessment that captured varied levels of representation as children learn words. At pre-test and post-test, children selected one of four images to match a word’s meaning: a correct target, a conceptually-related foil, a thematically-related foil, and a phonologically-similar foil. We expected that selecting a conceptually related foil would indicate that the word is understood at a deeper level than selecting a phonologically similar foil. Indeed, selection of phonological foils decreased from pre- to post-test, while selection of more advanced thematic and conceptual foils increased. These results demonstrate that this assessment tool probed semantic knowledge that might be characterized as intermediate word knowledge. The current paper presents a novel and sensitive way to capture the incremental process of word learning. Applications for vocabulary interventions are discussed.
Modelling pinyon pine distribution in the northern Great Basin, USA
Authors: Russell Jacob M , Miller Robert A , Carlisle Jay D , Kaltenecker Gregory S 
Published: September 2024

SummaryPinyon–juniper woodlands are dry ecosystems defined by the presence of juniper (Juniperusspp.) and pinyon pine (Pinusspp.), which stretch over 400 000 km2across 10 US states. Certain areas have become unnaturally dense and have moved into former shrub and grasslands, while others have experienced widespread mortality. To properly manage these woodlands, sites must be evaluated individually and decisions made based on scientific information that is often not available. Many species utilize pinyon–juniper woodlands, including the pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus), named for its mutualism with pinyon pine, whose population has declined by c. 2.2% per year from 1966 to 2022, an overall decrease of c. 71%. To increase the likelihood of further research progress, we propose a tool to model the distribution of pinyon pine at a finer scale than current woodland classification tools in the northern US Great Basin: a random forest model using geographical, ecological and climate variables. Our results achieved an accuracy of 93.94%, indicating high predictive power to identify locations of pinyon pine in north-eastern Nevada, the south-eastern corner of Oregon and southern Idaho. These findings can inform managers and planners researching pinyon pine, pinyon–juniper woodlands and potentially the pinyon jay.

Abstract
Adolescence is a period of substantial maturation in brain regions underlying Executive Functioning (EF). Adolescence is also associated with initiation and escalation of Alcohol Use (AU), and adolescent AU has been proposed to produce physiological and neurobiological events that derail healthy EF development. However, support has been mixed, which may be due to (1) failure to consider co-occurring externalizing symptoms (including other drug use) and poor social adaptation, and (2) heterogeneity and psychometric limitations in EF measures. We aimed to clarify the AU-EF association by: (1) distinguishing general externalizing symptoms from specific symptoms (AU, aggression, drug use) using bifactor modeling, (2) testing prospective associations between general externalizing symptoms and specific symptoms, and task-general EF, as indexed by a well-validated computational modeling framework (diffusion decision model), and (3) examining indirect pathways from externalizing symptoms to deficits in task-general EF through poor social adaptation. A high-risk longitudinal sample (N = 919) from the Michigan Longitudinal Study was assessed at four time-points spanning early adolescence (10–13 years) to young adulthood (22–25). Results suggested a critical role of social adaptation within peer and school contexts in promoting healthy EF. There was no evidence that specific, neurotoxic effects of alcohol or drug use derailed task-general EF development.

Abstract

Aim:
This article reports on the development of patient resources for the IMPlementing IMProved Asthma self-management as RouTine (IMP2ART) programme that aimed to encourage patients to attend asthma reviews (invitation letters), encourage patients to enquire about asthma action plans (posters), and equip patients with the knowledge to manage their asthma (information website).

Background:
To improve supported asthma self-management in UK primary care, the IMP2ART programme developed a whole-systems approach (patient resources, professional education, and organisational strategies).

Methods:
Linked to behaviour change theory, we developed a range of patient resources for primary care general practices (an information website, invitation letters to invite patients for asthma reviews, and posters to encourage asthma action plan ownership). We elicited qualitative feedback on the resources from people living with asthma in the UK (n = 17). In addition, we conducted an online survey with volunteers in the UK-wide REgister for Asthma researCH (REACH) database to identify where they source asthma information, whether their information needs are met, and what information would be useful (n = 95).

Findings:
Following feedback gathered from the interviews and the online survey, we refined our patient resources for the IMP2ART programme. Refinements included highlighting the seriousness of asthma, enhancing trustworthiness, and including social support resources. We also made necessary colour and formatting changes to the resources. In addition, the patient resources were updated following the COVID-19 pandemic. The multi-stage development process enabled us to refine and optimise the patient resources. The IMP2ART strategy is now being tested in a UK-wide cluster RCT (ref: ISRCTN15448074).
The Timing, Magnitude, and Relative Composition of Extreme Total Water Levels Vary Seasonally Along the U.S. Atlantic Coast

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe annual maximum (AM) method, which subsamples time series to retain the maximum event per year, and the peak‐over‐threshold (POT) method, which extracts values exceeding a threshold to define extremes, have long histories in determining flood event frequency. In practice, extreme value distributions applied to AM and POT events often assume that the data comes from the same statistical population. Locations across the world, like the United States (U.S.) Atlantic coastline, however, experience high coastal water levels driven by various individual processes and storms with different driving mechanisms during different seasons. This research investigates when extreme total water levels (TWLs) occur during the year along the U.S. Atlantic coast and whether individual components, like waves, tides, and storm surge, contributing to TWLs vary across regions and during the year. From 1980 to 2020, extreme TWLs occurred during the extratropical and tropical seasons, with the relative proportion of extreme TWLs occurring during the extratropical season increasing northward. Still water levels drive spatial variability in extreme TWL magnitude, while wave climate drives differences in extreme TWL magnitude between extratropical and tropical seasons. Month‐to‐month variability in the composition of extreme TWLs varies more than spatial variability, highlighting the importance of understanding the components driving extremes at different times of the year. Variations across storm seasons in the processes contributing to extreme TWLs may have implications for how large‐scale changes to the climate impact hazards along open sandy coastlines and influence the robustness of extrapolating rare events from models fit to a single population.

AbstractIn astrophysics and space, supercritical shock is generated when an object interacts with an incoming supersonic plasma stream. Its downstream plasmas are highly turbulent, containing abundant vortices on all scales from magnetohydrodynamic to electron gyroscales. Understanding the production of these vortices is at the forefront, especially on the electron scale. Using ultrafast measurements of NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft, we report on the fortunate multi‐spacecraft observation of the formation of an electron vortex directly generated inside the Earth's quasi‐parallel bow shock transition and propagated to the downstream turbulent magnetosheath. The vortex is generated inside the shock transition by anisotropic ∼100–600 eV electrons trapped in an ion‐scale magnetic hole which could show a tornado‐like magnetic morphology. Our results demonstrate that the electron vortex can develop not only as a product of the forward cascade but also from the shock transition into its downstream turbulence, which adds to the short‐scale turbulence and dissipation.

AbstractHigh‐resolution seismic model is crucial for advancing our understandings on geological processes and enhancing seismic hazard mitigation programs. We construct a high‐resolution China Seismological Reference Model (CSRM‐1.0) in the top 100 km of the crust and uppermost mantle in continental China following a top‐down construction process. The employed seismic constraints include P‐wave polarization angle from tele‐seismic event, short‐period Rayleigh wave ellipticity from ambient noise, long‐period Rayleigh wave ellipticity from earthquake data, receiver function, empirical Green's function from ambient noise, Rayleigh wave phase/group velocity dispersion curves from regional earthquakes, and Pn‐wave travel time extracted from seismic data of 4,435 stations. CSRM‐1.0 has a spatial crustal resolution of ∼60 km beneath the north‐south seismic belt and trans‐North China orogen regions and ∼120 km beneath the rest of continental China, and a spatial mantle resolution of ∼300 km. CSRM‐1.0 exhibits prominent velocity heterogeneities in the crust and uppermost mantle and an eastward thinning of the crust, geographically correlating with geological settings. CSRM‐1.0 improvements include accurate estimation of shallow seismic structure, increased spatial resolution and improved model accuracy. Crustal composition inferred from CSRM‐1.0 exhibits a general transition from a felsic upper crust to a mafic lower crust. Mafic rocks in the lower crust are found predominantly along inter‐block boundaries and sporadically within the interiors of blocks, likely resulted from preferential inter‐block intrusions of magmas related to various oceanic plate subductions and the Emeishan mantle plume. This study contributes seismic constraints and CSRM‐1.0 to the CSRM product center (http://chinageorefmodel.org) as a backbone open‐access geophysical cyberinfrastructure.

AbstractConventional dielectric solid materials, both natural and artificial, lack electromagnetic self-duality and thus require additional coatings to achieve impedance matching with free space. Here, we present a class of dielectric metamaterials that are effectively self-dual and vacuum-like, thereby exhibiting full-polarization omnidirectional impedance matching as an unusual Brewster effect extended across all incident angles and polarizations. With both birefringence and reflection eliminated regardless of wavefront and polarization, such anisotropic metamaterials could establish the electromagnetic equivalence with “stretched free space” in transformation optics, as substantiated through full-wave simulations and microwave experiments. Our findings open a practical pathway for realizing unprecedented polarization-independence and omnidirectional impedance-matching characteristics in pure dielectric solids.

AbstractUltrafast lasers have become powerful tools in various fields, and increasing their fundamental repetition rates to the gigahertz (GHz) level holds great potential for frontier scientific and industrial applications. Among various schemes, passive mode-locking in ultrashort-cavity fiber laser is promising for generating GHz ultrashort pulses (typically solitons), for its simplicity and robustness. However, its pulse energy is far lower than the critical value of the existing theory, leading to open questions on the mode-locking mechanism of GHz fiber lasers. Here, we study the passive mode-locking in GHz fiber lasers by exploring dynamic gain depletion and recovery (GDR) effect, and establish a theoretical model for comprehensively understanding its low-threshold mode-locking mechanism with multi-GHz fundamental repetition rates. Specifically, the GDR effect yields an effective interaction force and thereby binds multi-GHz solitons to form a counterpart of soliton crystals. It is found that the resulting collective behavior of the solitons effectively reduces the saturation energy of the gain fiber and permits orders of magnitude lower pulse energy for continuous-wave mode-locking (CWML). A new concept of quasi-single soliton defined in a strongly correlated length is also proposed to gain insight into the dynamics of soliton assembling, which enables the crossover from the present mode-locking theory to the existing one. Specifically, two distinguishing dynamics of Q-switched mode-locking that respectively exhibit rectangular- and Gaussian-shape envelopes are theoretically indicated and experimentally verified in the mode-locked GHz fiber laser through the measurements using both the standard real-time oscilloscope and emerging time-lens magnification. Based on the proposed criterion of CWML, we finally implement a GDR-mediated mode-locked fiber laser with an unprecedentedly high fundamental repetition rate of up to 21 GHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 85.9 dB.

AbstractDetermining the genetic architecture of Alzheimer’s disease pathologies can enhance mechanistic understanding and inform precision medicine strategies. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study of cortical tau quantified by positron emission tomography in 3046 participants from 12 independent studies. The CYP1B1-RMDN2 locus is associated with tau deposition. The most significant signal is at rs2113389, explaining 4.3% of the variation in cortical tau, while APOE4 rs429358 accounts for 3.6%. rs2113389 is associated with higher tau and faster cognitive decline. Additive effects, but no interactions, are observed between rs2113389 and diagnosis, APOE4, and amyloid beta positivity. CYP1B1 expression is upregulated in AD. rs2113389 is associated with higher CYP1B1 expression and methylation levels. Mouse model studies provide additional functional evidence for a relationship between CYP1B1 and tau deposition but not amyloid beta. These results provide insight into the genetic basis of cerebral tau deposition and support novel pathways for therapeutic development in AD.

Published: September 2024

AbstractOcean energy extraction is on the rise. While tides are the most predictable amongst marine renewable resources, turbulent and complex flows still challenge reliable tidal stream energy extraction and there is also uncertainty in how devices change the natural environment. To ensure the long-term integrity of emergent floating tidal turbine technologies, advances in field measurements are required to capture multiscale, real-world flow interactions. Here we use aerial drones and acoustic profiling transects to quantify the site- and scale-dependent complexities of actual turbulent flows around an idled, utility-scale floating tidal turbine (20 m rotor diameter, D). The combined spatial resolution of our baseline measurements is sufficiently high to quantify sheared, turbulent inflow conditions (reversed shear profiles, turbulence intensity >20%, and turbulence length scales > 0.4D). We also detect downstream velocity deficits (approaching 20% at 4D) and trace the far-wake propagation using acoustic backscattering techniques in excess of 30D. Addressing the energy-environment nexus, our oceanographic lens on flow characterisation will help to validate multiscale flow physics around offshore energy platforms that have thus far only been simulated.
