A generalized wall-pressure spectral model for non-equilibrium boundary layers
Authors: Pargal Saurabh , Yuan Junlin , Moreau Stephane 
Published: September 2024

This study uses high-fidelity simulations (direct numerical simulation or large-eddy simulation) and experimental datasets to analyse the effect of non-equilibrium streamwise mean pressure gradients (adverse or favourable), including attached and separated flows, on the statistics of boundary-layer wall-pressure fluctuations. The datasets collected span a wide range of Reynolds numbers (

$Re_\theta$

from 300 to 23 400) and pressure gradients (Clauser parameter from

$-0.5$

to 200). The datasets are used to identify an optimal set of variables to scale the wall-pressure spectrum: edge velocity, boundary layer thickness and the peak magnitude of Reynolds shear stress. Using the present datasets, existing semi-empirical models of the wall-pressure spectrum are shown unable to capture effects of strong, non-equilibrium adverse pressure gradients, due to inappropriate scaling of the wall pressure using the wall shear stress, calibration with limited types of flows and dependency on model parameters based on the friction velocity, which reduces to zero at the detachment point. To address these shortcomings, a generalized wall-pressure spectral model is developed with parameters that characterize the extent of the logarithmic layer and the strength of the wake. Derived from the local mean streamwise velocity profile, these two parameters inherently carry the effect of the Reynolds number, as well as those of the non-equilibrium pressure gradient and its history. Comparison with existing models shows that the proposed model behaves well and is more accurate in strong-pressure-gradient flows and in separated-flow regions.
A Novel Class of Unfolding Models for Binary Preference Data
Authors: Lei Rayleigh , Rodríguez Abel 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWe develop a new class of spatial voting models for binary preference data that can accommodate both monotonic and non-monotonic response functions, and are more flexible than alternative “unfolding” models previously introduced in the literature. We then use these models to estimate revealed preferences for legislators in the U.S. House of Representatives and justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. The results from these applications indicate that the new models provide superior complexity-adjusted performance to various alternatives and that the additional flexibility leads to preferences’ estimates that more closely match the perceived ideological positions of legislators and justices.
Depositing skeletal remains in Czech and Moravian ossuaries and associated climatic variations
Authors: Smrčka Václav , Mihaljevič Martin 
Published: September 2024

AbstractSamples of the bones of 47 individuals from 46 Czech and Moravian ossuaries were dated by the 14C method and analyzed for the collagen isotopic composition of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N). Most of the data for the ages of the remains corresponded to the cooler and damper periods described over the past 1000 years. Of the studied samples, the greatest number of remains corresponded to the Spörer (1400–1570), Dalton (1790–1830) and Wolf minima (1280–1350). One sample studied falls within the Maunder minimum (1645–1715). It can be assumed that these minima are connected with a reduced production of food and fodder, that may have initiated famines, epidemics and armed conflicts. Individual climatic minima showed positive correlations between δ13C and δ15N values, indicating that the individuals studied consumed complementary plant or animal diets to different degrees. The elevated δ15N values in our studied samples compared to the skeletal compositions of the population of the La Tène period (380 – 150 BC) and Germanic inhabitants in the territory of Bohemia (5th–6th centuries AD) and Great Moravia (9th–early 10th centuries AD) might reflect the effect of greater consumption of animal proteins or the proteins of omnivorous animals and fish, which compensated for the lack of plant foodstuffs during the colder periods.The isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen of the bone collagen for the Spörer and Dalton minima differs from the Wolf minimum. The younger minima show higher δ15N values for a given δ13C value.
STONE-PAVED CELLARS IN THE STONE AGE? ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR A NEOLITHIC SUBTERRANEAN CONSTRUCTION FROM NYGÅRDSVEJ 3, FALSTER, DENMARK
Authors: Brinch Marie , Philippsen Bente , Groß Daniel , Kanstrup Marie 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTWe present the excavation results from a Middle Neolithic site associated with the Funnel Beaker Culture. Within two overlying house phases, a recessed area was recorded, which had been constructed using different sized pebbles. The arrangement and form of the feature clearly indicated anthropogenic origin and is understood as belonging to one of the house phases. Consequently, it is interpreted as a cellar. Several pits and post holes are additional features that were recorded at the site and indicate the presence of a fence structure with up to seven parallel courses. In this paper, we present radiocarbon dates from the features and an age model for the construction and use of the cellar as well as the fences. Moreover, the site Nygårdsvej 3 will be placed in its regional archaeological landscape.
Sarcopenic obesity in patients with head and neck cancer is predictive of critical weight loss during radiotherapy
Authors: Vangelov Belinda , Smee Robert I. , Bauer Judith 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe impact of computed tomography-defined sarcopenia on outcomes in head and neck cancer has been well described. Sarcopenic obesity (SO) (depleted muscle mass combined with obesity) may pose a more serious risk than either condition alone. We investigated SO and its impact on survival and critical weight loss (≥ 5 %) in patients with head and neck cancer who received curative radiotherapy (± other modalities). Retrospective analysis of computed tomography cross-sectional muscle at cervical (C3), thoracic (T2) and lumbar (L3) regions was conducted. Patients were grouped by BMI and sarcopenia status based on established thresholds. A total of 413 patients were included for analysis, the majority having oropharyngeal carcinoma (52 %), and 56 % received primary concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The majority of the cohort (65 %) was overweight or obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Sarcopenia was found in 43 %, with 65 % having SO (n 116), equating to 28 % of the whole cohort. Critical weight loss was experienced by 58 % (n 238). A significantly higher proportion of patients with SO experienced critical weight loss (n 70 v. 19, P < 0·001) and were four times more likely to do so during treatment (OR 4·1; 95 % CI 1·5, 7·1; P = 0·002). SO was not found to impact on overall or cancer-specific survival; however, in patients with sarcopenia, those with SO had better overall survival (median 9·1 v. 7·0 years; 95 % CI 5·2, 16·8; P = 0·021). SO at the time of presentation in patients with head and neck cancer is predictive of critical weight loss during treatment, and muscle evaluation can be useful in identifying patients at nutritional risk regardless of BMI and obvious signs of wasting.
When Group Appeals Backfire: Explaining the Asymmetric Effects of Place-Based Appeals
Authors: Haffert Lukas , Palmtag Tabea , Schraff Dominik 
Published: September 2024

AbstractGroup-based identities are an important basis of political competition. Politicians consciously appeal to specific social groups, and these group-based appeals often improve the evaluation of parties and candidates. Studying place-based appeals, we advance the understanding of this strategy by distinguishing between dominant and subordinate social groups. Using two survey experiments in Germany and England, we show that group appeals improve candidate evaluation among subordinate (rural) voters. By contrast, appeals to the dominant (urban) group trigger a negative reaction. While urban citizens’ weaker local identities and lower place-based resentment partly explain this asymmetry, they mainly dislike group-based appeals because of their antagonistic nature. If the same policies are framed as benefiting urban and rural dwellers alike, candidate evaluation improves. Thus, people on the dominant side of a group divide reject a framing of politics as antagonistically structured by this divide, even if they identify with the dominant group.
Financing a Revolution: The Impact of Bolívar's British Networks in the Independence of Colombia
Authors: Brown Matthew , Crow Joanna , Lea Jonathan 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article explores the financial and geopolitical networks behind the independence of Gran Colombia. It shows that the failure to obtain official British government support for independence was compensated for by the development of a network of private individuals and partnerships that supplied large quantities of arms, equipment and men. A Colombian government document granting ‘Powers’ to London intermediaries was crucial to the construction of this network. We analyse who the key players were and how the network operated. By exploring the decisions and actions of merchants through the lens of risk, trust, credit and networks, we provide a fresh insight into the wider process of independence in Gran Colombia.

A granular investigation on the stability of money demand
Authors: Chen Zhengyang , Valcarcel Victor J. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
A large literature has shown money demand functions constructed from simple-sum aggregates are unstable. We revisit the controversy surrounding the instability of money demand by examining cointegrating income-money relationships with the Divisia monetary aggregates for the U.S., and compare them with their simple-sum counterparts. We innovate by conducting a more granular analysis of various monetary assets and their associated user costs. We find characterizing money demand with simple-sum measures only works well in a period preceding 1980. Divisia aggregates, their components, and their user costs provide a more reliable interpretation of money demand. Subsample analysis across 1980 and 2008 suggests the instability of money demand is a matter of measurement rather than a consequence of a structural change in agents’ preference for monetary assets.
Knowledge, attitude and practices of health professionals with regard to plant-based diets in pregnancy: a scoping review
Authors: McLeod Stephanie C , McCormack Jessica C , Oey Indrawati , Conner Tamlin S , Peng Mei 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective:
This scoping review aimed to systematically map and describe the existing evidence regarding the knowledge, attitudes and practices of health professionals with regard to plant-based diets during pregnancy and to highlight areas for further research.

Design:
Following a pre-registered protocol, online databases were searched using a comprehensive search string, in addition to selected grey literature sources, and reference lists of included studies. The studies were independently screened for eligibility by two authors, SM and JM. Data from all eligible studies were charted by the first author, and a narrative summary was performed.

Setting:
Maternal health care services.

Results:
Ten studies were included for review, from New Zealand (n 2), Australia (n 2), Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Peru. Most of these studies were observational, employed various validated and non-validated survey instruments, interviews and one education intervention. Knowledge was the most frequently assessed outcome in the reviewed studies. Health professionals’ knowledge of plant-based nutrition in pregnancy was reported to be limited and frequently attributed to a lack of nutrition training. Participants’ personal dietary patterns and work specialisation appear to be closely associated with their knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding plant-based diets.

Conclusion:
This review identified a significant research gap regarding health professionals’ practices in relation to plant-based diets during pregnancy. Additionally, this review has demonstrated the need for further research, awareness and practice protocols to promote high-quality care and education or professional development to address the prevalent lack of knowledge among this group.
The Palliative Story Exchange: An innovative storytelling intervention to build community, foster shared meaning, and improve sustainability
Authors: Drutchas Alexis , Rusch Rachel , Leiter Richard 
Published: September 2024

AbstractObjectivePalliative care (PC) faces a workforce crisis. Seriously ill patients surpass the supply of PC cliniciansin their work clinicians face repeated loss and extreme suffering which can have deleterious consequences, such as burnout and attrition. We urgently need interventions that foster thriving communities in this emotionally complex environment. Storytelling represents a promising path forward. In response to widespread loneliness and moral distress among PC clinicians before, during, and after the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, we created the Palliative Story Exchange (PSE), a storytelling intervention to build community, decrease isolation, and help clinicians rediscover the shared meaning in their work. This paper discusses this novel intervention and initial program evaluation data demonstrating the PSE’s impact thus far.MethodsParticipants voluntarily complete a post-then-pre wellness survey reflecting on their experience.ResultsThus far, over 1,000 participants have attended a PSE. In the fall of 2022, we began distributing a post-then-pre-evaluation survey. To date, 130 interprofessional participants from practice locations across 10 different countries completed the survey. Responses demonstrate an increase in the connection that participants felt toward their work and the larger palliative care community after attending a PSE. Further, more than half of all free-text responses include terms such as, “meaningful,” “healing,” “powerful,” and “universal,” to describe their participation.Significance of ResultsTraining programs and healthcare organizations use the humanities to support clinician wellness and improve patient care. The PSE builds upon this work through a novel combination of storytelling, community co-creation using reflection, and shared meaning making. Initial survey data demonstrates that after attending a PSE, participants feel increased meaning in their work, in the significance of their own stories, and connection with the PC community. Moving forward, we seek to expand our community of practice, host a facilitator leadership course, and rigorously study the PSE’s impact on clinician wellness outcomes.
A New, Zero‐Iteration Analytic Implementation of Wet‐Bulb Globe Temperature: Development, Validation, and Comparison With Other Methods
Authors: Kong Qinqin , Huber Matthew 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWet‐bulb globe temperature (WBGT)—a standard measure for workplace heat stress regulation—incorporates the complex, nonlinear interaction among temperature, humidity, wind and radiation. This complexity requires WBGT to be calculated iteratively following the recommended approach developed by Liljegren and colleagues. The need for iteration has limited the wide application of Liljegren's approach, and stimulated various simplified WBGT approximations that do not require iteration but are potentially seriously biased. By carefully examining the self‐nonlinearities in Liljegren's model, we develop a zero‐iteration analytic approximation of WBGT while maintaining sufficient accuracy and the physical basis of the original model. The new approximation slightly deviates from Liljegren's full model—by less than 1°C in 99% cases over 93% of global land area. The annual mean and 75%–99% percentiles of WBGT are also well represented with biases within °C globally. This approximation is clearly more accurate than other commonly used WBGT approximations. Physical intuition can be developed on the processes controlling WBGT variations from an energy balance perspective. This may provide a basis for applying WBGT to understanding the physical control of heat stress.

AbstractWe analyze data from multiple flybys by the Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) missions to study the interaction between Venus' plasma environment and the solar wind forming the induced magnetosphere. Through examination of magnetic field and plasma density signatures we characterize the spatial extent and dynamics of Venus' magnetotail, focusing mainly on boundary crossings. Notably, we observe significant differences in boundary crossing location and appearance between flybys, highlighting the dynamic nature of Venus' magnetotail. In particular, during Solar Orbiter's third flyby, extreme solar wind conditions led to significant variations in the magnetosheath plasma density and magnetic field properties, but the increased dynamic pressure did not compress the magnetotail. Instead, it is possible that the increased EUV flux at this time rather caused it to expand in size. Key findings also include the identification of several far downstream bow shock (BS), or bow wave, crossings to at least 60 (1 = 6,052 km is the radius of Venus), and the induced magnetospheric boundary to at least 20 . These crossings provide insight into the extent of the induced magnetosphere. Pre‐existing models from Venus Express were only constrained to within 5 of the planet, and we provide modifications to better fit the far‐downstream crossings. The new model BS is now significantly closer to the central tail than previously suggested, by about 10 at 60 downstream.
Effect of Vertical Shear in the Zonal Wind on Equatorial Electrojet Sidebands: An Observational Perspective Using Swarm and ICON Data

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe wind dynamo in the ionosphere leads to differential motion of ions and electrons, which in turn sets up electric fields and currents. Observations show that daytime lower thermospheric horizontal winds have large vertical gradients. Numerical modeling conducted approximately 50 years ago demonstrated that the zonal wind shears in the ∼130–180 km altitude range can generate off‐equatorial relative minima (dips) in the daytime height‐integrated eastward current density, appearing as westward sidebands north and south of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ). This study observationally confirms this connection for the first time by combining Ionospheric CONnection explorer zonal wind profiles and Swarm latitudinal zonal currents. We demonstrate observationally that the magnitude of the EEJ sideband current is proportional to the strength of westward turning winds with altitude in the Pedersen conductivity dominated region. Additional numerical experiments explain the importance of wind shear in different altitude regions in generating the sideband current. This study contributes to the better understanding of the neutral wind effect on the local current generation.

AbstractProteogenomics is becoming a powerful tool in personalized medicine by linking genomics, transcriptomics and mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Due to increasing evidence of alternative open reading frame-encoded proteins (AltProts), proteogenomics has a high potential to unravel the characteristics, variants, expression levels of the alternative proteome, in addition to already annotated proteins (RefProts). To obtain a broader view of the proteome of ovarian cancer cells compared to ovarian epithelial cells, cell-specific total RNA-sequencing profiles and customized protein databases were generated. In total, 128 RefProts and 30 AltProts were identified exclusively in SKOV-3 and PEO-4 cells. Among them, an AltProt variant of IP_715944, translated from DHX8, was found mutated (p.Leu44Pro). We show high variation in protein expression levels of RefProts and AltProts in different subcellular compartments. The presence of 117 RefProt and two AltProt variants was described, along with their possible implications in the different physiological/pathological characteristics. To identify the possible involvement of AltProts in cellular processes, cross-linking-MS (XL-MS) was performed in each cell line to identify AltProt-RefProt interactions. This approach revealed an interaction between POLD3 and the AltProt IP_183088, which after molecular docking, was placed between POLD3-POLD2 binding sites, highlighting its possibility of the involvement in DNA replication and repair.
