Published: October 2024

AbstractSite‐specific weed management (SSWM) is increasingly employed to reduce herbicide inputs. Incorporating functional traits of weed species allows for the selection of SSWM methods that effectively reduce the abundance of weeds with a high competitive potential (disservice) while preserving weeds that provide beneficial ecosystem services (service). In this study, we aim to assess relevant weed functional traits and translate this information into a spatial trait distribution map for weed (dis‐)service provision. The distribution of weed abundance in a field was recorded using a spatial grid. Data on functional traits for the recorded weed species were extracted from published datasets and combined into the two variables, service and disservice. Individual traits (service/disservice) were weighted for each pixel of the weed distribution map based on the number of individual plants per species. Principal component analysis was employed to generate independent variables to describe the potential for service and disservice provision. As a result, two (dis‐)service trait‐based distribution maps were generated: one highlights field areas that provide enhanced ecological services, while the other displays areas with a high disservice potential. The results show that around 61% of the area in the field had a high service potential. The area with a high disservice was slightly higher than the half of the area with a high service, while about 32% of the field has both high service and disservice potential in the same area. This study presents a spatially explicit approach to incorporate information on weed functional traits into SSWM approaches targeted at reducing weed competition while at the same time enhancing weed functional diversity.
Bayesian Inference for Estimating Heat Sources Through Temperature Assimilation
Authors: Mousavi Hanieh , Eldredge Jeff D. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper utilizes a Bayesian inference framework to address the two-dimensional (2D) steady-state heat conduction problem, focusing on the estimation of unknown distributed heat sources in a thermally conducting medium with uniform conductivity. The goal is to infer the locations, strength, and shape of heaters by assimilating temperature data in Euclidean space, employing a Fourier series to represent each heater's shape. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, incorporating the random-walk Metropolis–Hasting (MH) algorithm and parallel tempering, is utilized for posterior distribution exploration in both unbounded and wall-bounded domains. It is found that multiple solutions arise in cases where the number of temperature sensors is less than the number of unknown states. Moreover, smaller heaters introduce greater uncertainty in estimated strength. To address the challenge of estimating the heater's strength and shape simultaneously due to their strong correlation, our method incorporates sharp priors on one to ensure accurate and feasible solutions of the other. The diffusive nature of heat conduction smooths out any deformations in the temperature contours, especially in the presence of multiple heaters positioned near each other, impacting convergence. In wall-bounded domains with Neumann boundary conditions, the inference of heater parameters tends to be more accurate than in unbounded domains.

Abstract
This study presents an application of a long short-term memory autoencoder (LSTM AE) for the detection of broken rails based on laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) measurements. This work is part of an ongoing project aimed at developing a noncontact damage detection system using LDV measurements. The damage detection system consists of two LDVs mounted on a moving rail car to measure vibrations induced on the rail head. Field tests were carried out at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO, to collect the vibrational data. This study focused on the detection of broken rails. To simulate the reflected and transmitted waves induced by the broken rail, a welded joint was used. The data were collected from moving LDV measurements, in which the train was operating at three different speeds: 16 km/h (10 mph), 32 km/h (20 mph), and 48 km/h (30 mph). After obtaining the data, filtering and signal processing were applied to obtain the signal features in time and frequency domains. Next, correlation analysis and principal component analysis were carried out for feature selection and dimension reduction to determine the input used to train and test the LSTM AE model. In this study, the LSTM AE models were trained based on different data sets for anomaly detection. Consequently, an automatic anomaly detection approach for anomaly detection based on the LSTM AE model was evaluated. The results show that the LSTM AE model can efficiently detect the anomaly based on the selected features at three different speeds.

Abstract
In the development of fractured gas reservoirs with edge and bottom water, water invasion is a pervasive issue. However, most production decline analysis models focus on primary depletion with closed boundaries rather than secondary depletion with water influx. Therefore, this article aims to develop decline type curves for analyzing and interpreting production data from existing natural water influx in fractured gas reservoirs. First, a transient dual porosity flow model is developed considering water influx in naturally fractured gas reservoirs, and the functions of Blasingame decline type curves are derived and obtained. Subsequently, the Blasingame production decline type curves of a vertical well in naturally fractured reservoirs experiencing natural water influx are plotted. These new type curves can estimate water invasion and dual-medium parameters, offering valuable insights for production decline analysis in fractured reservoirs with water influx. The Blasingame production decline curves are divided into six regimes based on characteristics. Then, the effects of various formation parameters and water invasion cases on the type curves are discussed and analyzed. Compared with Blasingame type curves without water influx at the external boundary, the behaviors of those presented in this article are quite different at the boundary responses. Finally, through the analysis of a case well, it is found that theoretical type curves considering dual-medium and water invasion are more consistent with actual production data. This suggests that these new type curves provide more accurate estimation for understanding and managing issues related to water invasion in fractured gas reservoirs.
Longitudinal Analysis of Race-Management Strategies in a World-Class 200-m Freestyle Swimmer: A Case Study
Authors: Loisel Camille , Pla Robin , Seifert Ludovic 
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To investigate race-management strategies over a longitudinal case study of one of the world’s best female swimmers of the 200-m freestyle to understand if only 1 race-management strategy allowed her to succeed or whether several profiles have been used over the 8 years of analysis. Methods: Different race-management strategies within and between 50-m laps emerged from cluster analysis. To better explain race management, additional characteristics described the level of adversity, the level of competition, the performance outcome, and the type of race. Results: Two strategies of race management between laps have been used, and both allowed her to succeed in her career. The first was characterized by a fast start and a greater decrease of the speed between laps, whereas the second exhibited a more stable speed management. When those strategies were examined in relation to the level of competition and the level of adversity, it appeared that the first strategy was used more in international competitions and associated with higher time intervals between the studied swimmer and the direct rivals, while the second one was used more in national competitions and associated with lower time intervals. Conclusions: Findings suggested that this top elite swimmer did not adhere to a single “ideal” race-management strategy. Instead, she demonstrated flexibility and the ability to adapt her race management to contextual factors throughout her career, effectively controlling adversity. This highlights the importance of including adversity analysis in race-management studies.

Abstract
The metamorphic host rocks of pegmatites can help to decipher their geodynamic setting and emplacement conditions. The Jiajika lithium deposit, located in the Songpan-Ganze orogenic belt, eastern Tibet, is one of the largest hard-rock type lithium deposits in China. The lithium-enriched pegmatites in Jiajika are hosted in the amphibolite facies metasedimentary rocks in the mantle of the Jiajika gneiss dome. However, the metamorphic evolution of Jiajika is poorly constrained. In this study, we carried out detailed fieldwork, petrological observation, mineral chemical analysis, phase equilibria modeling, and geochronological studies on the Jiajika gneiss dome and the borehole JSD-1 (with a total depth of 3211 m) of the Jiajika Scientific Drilling Project (JSD). Structural data outlined two subdomes within the Jiajika gneiss dome. Two main stages of regional metamorphism and deformation are documented in Jiajika: an early Barrovian metamorphism (M1) in ca. 237–221 Ma caused by crustal thickening (D1), which has a peak condition of 6.7–8.3 kbar and 649–694 °C; a late Buchan metamorphism (M2) induced by the emplacement of granites and pegmatites during doming (D2) with a peak condition of 3.4–4.3 kbar and 570–612 °C at 210–206 Ma. The superimposition of the M2 isograds upon the M1 isograds resulted in a composite metamorphic sequence around the Jiajika gneiss dome. The overlapping of the Barrovian metamorphism and the Buchan metamorphism is related to crustal thickening during continental collision and later decompression through doming, which facilitated lithium mineralization.

We aimed to compare differences in the incidence of thromboembolism (TE) among different treatment options.DesignUsing a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA).Data sourcesWe searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and Web of Science databases before 10 June 2023.Eligibility criteriaWe included published randomised controlled trials (RCT) involving comparisons of treatments between chemotherapy and ALK-TKI drugs.Data extraction and synthesisAssessed risk bias with Cochrane tool. Conducted NMA with GEMTC in R, we evaluate the model fit using the deviation information criteria. Estimated posterior distribution using Markov Chain Monte Carlo, 4 chains, 10 fine-tuned iterations, 10 000 iterations per chain, total 50 000 iterations. Monitored potential scale reduction factor for convergence. And checked convergence with Gelman-Rubin statistics and trace plot. Provided surface under the cumulative ranking, lower values indicate less TE event probability.ResultsAnalysis of eight RCTs showed that, compared with that for crizotinib, there was a lower risk of total TE with chemotherapy (OR, 0.28; 95% credible intervals (CrI) 0.11 to 0.63), brigatinib (OR 0.31; 95% CrI 0.11 to 0.79) and ceritinib (OR 0.13; 95% CrI 0.03 to 0.45). In addition, analysis of venous TE (VTE) showed similar results, with a lower occurrence for chemotherapy (OR 0.27; 95% CrI 0.1 to 0.62), brigatinib (OR 0.18; 95% CrI 0.04 to 0.6) and ceritinib (OR 0.1; 95% CrI 0.02 to 0.43) compared with that for crizotinib. There were no significant differences in the occurrence of arterial TE among the different treatment options.ConclusionCompared with chemotherapy, alectinib, lorlatinib, brigatinib and ceritinib, crizotinib significantly increased the risk of TE and VTE.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023373307.

ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between social support and psychological birth trauma among Chinese primiparous women and the mediating effects of childbirth readiness.DesignA cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2021 and March 2022.Setting10 general tertiary hospitals and 3 specialised maternity hospitals in 7 provinces in China.ParticipantsA total of 751 primiparous women were recruited for this study.Outcome measuresThe questionnaires consisted of questions on demographic characteristics, the Birth Trauma Scale, the Chinese Mandarin version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey and the Childbirth Readiness Scale. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to explore the associated factors and mediating role of childbirth readiness in the relationship between social support and psychological birth trauma. The mediating model was examined by the PROCESS macro for SPSS.ResultsAfter adjusting for demographic variables, social support was negatively associated with psychological birth trauma (r=−0.242, p<0.01). Childbirth readiness had a positive correlation with social support (r=0.206, p<0.01) and a negative correlation with psychological birth trauma (r=−0.351, p<0.01). The hierarchical multiple regression model indicated that social support and childbirth readiness explained 3.9% and 7.7% of the variance in psychological birth trauma, respectively. Childbirth readiness partly mediated the association between social support and psychological birth trauma for primiparas.ConclusionsChildbirth readiness plays a mediating role between social support and psychological birth trauma among primiparas. Strategies and interventions to enhance childbirth readiness levels may be expected to improve the impact of social support on women’s psychological birth trauma.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the safety and performance of PowerPICC catheters in a real-world setting.DesignProspective, observational, multicentre study.SettingNine European countries, involving 14 centres.ParticipantsGeneral patient population.InterventionPowerPICC catheter inserted by the clinician as standard of care with routinely collected outcomes followed through device removal or 180 days postinsertion.Primary and secondary outcomes measuresSafety and performance outcomes were assessed for PowerPICC, PowerPICC SOLO 2 and PowerGroshong PICC. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of symptomatic venous thrombosis (VT), and secondary safety endpoints included phlebitis, extravasation, vessel laceration, vessel perforation local infection, accidental dislodgment and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). The primary performance endpoint was the percentage of patients whose PowerPICC device remained in place through the completion of therapy. The secondary performance endpoints included catheter patency, placement success in a single attempt and usability.ResultsThe enrolled patients (N=451) received either PowerPICC, PowerPICC SOLO 2 or PowerGroshong PICC catheters. Across all devices, 1.6% of patients developed symptomatic VT, and CRBSI occurred in 1.6% of patients. There were no cases of phlebitis or extravasation and only three cases of vein laceration or vein perforation. The catheters showed high success rates in completing therapy (81.8%), maintaining patency (93.9%) and achieving successful placement in a single attempt (90.4%). Clinicians overwhelmingly agreed that both the guidewire and stylet (93.3% and 94.4%, respectively) were easy or very easy to use.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the safety and performance of PowerPICC catheters across diverse settings and patient cohorts in real-world hospital settings across Europe. The findings indicate that these catheters are safe and can be effectively used in the general patient setting and when inserted by a variety of clinicians. The low incidence of complications and high success rates further support the clinical utility of these catheters.Trial registration numberNCT04263649.

BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is a significant cause of death in patients with GC, and presents a major challenge in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Predicting the occurrence of PM in high-risk patients, and diagnosing and treating PM in advance to improve patient survival, remains an unsolved problem in clinical practice. Given the low positive rate of cytology and difficulty in diagnosing occult PM, new molecular markers and detection technologies for early diagnosis require urgent validation. The primary objective of this study is to observe and evaluate the predictive effect of intraoperative peritoneal lavage fluid (PLF) circulating tumour cells (CTC) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) levels in patients with pT4NxM0/pT1-3N+M0 GC on metachronous PM after R0 resection.Methods and analysisThis prospective single-centre clinical study is conducted at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. In this study, 200 cases of patients with pT4NxM0/pT1-3N+M0 gastric adenocarcinoma older than 18 years will be screened. Participants will undergo intraoperative PLF CTC and ctDNA testing and will be followed up for 2 years, with imaging assessments performed every 3–6 months until PM occurrs. The primary outcome is the incidence of PM 1 year after surgery, which will be estimated using Clopper-Pearson method, with 95% CIs calculated and compared between groups. Secondary outcome include the incidence of PM 2 years after surgery, overall survival and disease progression. Data will be analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test.Ethics and communicationInformed consent has been obtained from all subjects. This protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (LY2023-142-B). The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed manuscripts, reports and presentations.Trial registration numberChiCTR2300074910.

ObjectivesPrevious research has extensively explored the factors associated with psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). However, the characteristics and associated factors of remitted PLEs, which refer to the absence of current PLEs following previous PLEs, remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to describe the characteristics of adolescents who reported remitted PLEs.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingThe survey was conducted from October to December 2020 in three colleges located in Guangzhou, China.ParticipantsA total of 4208 college freshmen aged from 15 to 24 participated in our survey.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe 15-item positive subscale of the Community Assessment of the Psychic Experience was used to assess both lifetime and current PLEs. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between remitted PLEs and a range of demographic factors, lifestyle, psychosocial factors, lifetime affective symptoms and sleep problems.ResultsThree groups of PLEs were observed: non-PLEs (47.27% of the sample), remitted PLEs (40.42%) and current PLEs (12.31%). Several factors have been identified as shared correlates of remission and absence of PLEs, including fewer recent adverse life events, greater resilience, fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety, and early waking. Furthermore, higher levels of social support (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.17; OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.97) was a specific factor associated with the remission of PLEs. Compared with individuals without PLEs, those with remitted PLEs were more likely to be female (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.75), less likely to be younger (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.95) and prone to have more chronic physical illness (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.29 to 2.16), habitual alcohol intake (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.88), more childhood trauma (OR for low vs high=0.72, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.91) and the sleep problems of waking up easily (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.65).ConclusionThese findings suggest that remitted PLEs play a vital, unique role among three groups and provide preliminary targets for the intervention for adolescents at risk of mental health problems. Further investigation may shed light on the causality of the relationship between remitted PLEs and associated factors.
