The Roles of Moat Width and Outer Eyewall Contraction in Affecting the Timescale of Eyewall Replacement Cycle
Authors: Jiang Jie , Wang Yuqing 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe timescale of eyewall replacement cycle (ERC) is critical for the prediction of intensity and structure changes of tropical cyclones (TCs) with concentric eyewall (CE) structures. Previous studies have indicated that the moat width can regulate the interaction between the inner and outer eyewalls and has a salient relationship with the ERC timescale. In this study, a series of sensitivity experiments are carried out to investigate the essential mechanisms resulting in the diversity of the duration of CEs using both simple and full‐physics models. Results reveal that a larger moat can induce stronger inflow under the same inner eyewall intensity by providing a longer distance for air parcels to accelerate in the boundary layer. Thus, there is greater inward absolute vorticity flux to sustain the inner eyewall. Besides, the equivalent potential temperature (θe) budget indicates that the vertical advection and surface flux of moist entropy can overbalance the negative contribution from the horizontal advection and lead to an increasing trend of θe in the inner eyewall. This suggests that the thermodynamic process in the boundary layer is not indispensable to the inner eyewall weakening. It is also found that the contraction rate of the secondary eyewall, which directly influences the moat width, is subject to the activity of outer spiral rainbands. By directly introducing positive wind tendency outside the eyewall and indirectly promoting a vertically tilted eyewall structure, active convection in the outer region will impede or even suspend the contraction of the outer eyewall and hence extend the ERC timescale.

AbstractClimate change and human activities, for example, dam construction, largely affect hydrologic and hydrodynamic processes of river‐lake system, and hence exerted serious pressure on its aquatic ecology. It's challenging to restore its ecological environment without systematic investigation and knowledge about the features of hydrodynamics, water quality, and aquatic ecology. This study conducted field surveys of hydrodynamic, water quality, and fish distribution in the Yangtze‐Poyang system, the largest river and largest fresh lake in China, to investigate the effects of hydrologic and hydrodynamic variations on fish population dynamics, especially the extreme drought and its effects were largely concerned. In two surveys, discharge decreased from 12,000 m3/s to less than 1,000 m3/s. Distinct differences on fish density, species composition, and populations connectivity between two surveys were observed. During high‐water, connecting channel secured effective transition of river‐lake habitats, its strong hydrological connectivity and flow heterogeneity supported great biodiversity and bidirectional populations connectivity. Limited flow space and elevated turbidity during low‐water confined fish to a few channel units with sufficient depth and width, increasing fish density up to 7 times greater than during high‐water, and seriously weakening ecological connectivity of the system. Furthermore, species interaction was intensified due to limited environmental capacity, periodic strategists were favored while opportunistic strategists visibly diminished, leading to a dramatic decline in species by nearly half. In the future with increasingly frequent extreme climate, engineering measures, for example, effective ecological project regulation, are needful to alleviate the drought problem, being of great significance for maintaining ecological connectivity within the river‐lake system.

AbstractPolyamines are involved in various functions related to the cellular-level responses. To assess effects of polyamines on marine organisms, rearing experiments and comprehensive gene expression analyses were conducted on Acropora digitifera and Acropora sp.1, representative reef-building corals along the west-central coast of Okinawa, Japan, to evaluate effects of putrescine. Concentrations of putrescine ≥ 1 mM dissolved tissues of juvenile polyps and increased mortality of planula larvae. RNA-Seq analysis of juvenile polyps exposed to putrescine at the stage before effects became visible revealed dynamic fluctuations in gene expression in the putrescine-treated samples, with increased expression of stress-responsive genes (e.g. NAD-dependent protein deacylase sirtuin-6) and the polyamine transporter Slc18b1-like protein. These results also suggest that putrescine affects expression of genes related to ribosomes and translation. This study provides important insights into roles of polyamines and future directions regarding physiological responses of corals.

AbstractMental disorders have become one of the most burdensome health concerns. We have previously demonstrated that whey-derived β-lactolin (glycine–thereonine–tryptophan–tyrosine tetrapeptide) activates dopaminergic systems and improves psychiatric function in rodents. However, the effects of β-lactolin on human mood states have not been investigated. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementation with β-lactolin–rich whey peptide on human mood states. Sixty healthy adults (aged 45–64 years) with relatively low psychological health were randomly allocated to receive either whey peptide (containing β-lactolin 1.6 mg/day) or placebo for 6 weeks. Mood states (primary outcomes) were evaluated using self-reporting questionnaires. Health-related quality of life (QOL), salivary stress marker and lipid mediator levels were evaluated as secondary outcomes. Compared with placebo, supplementation with β-lactolin improved changes in trait anxiety (p = 0.046), as assessed using the state–trait anxiety inventory, and in subjective stress (p = 0.043), as assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale. In the assessment of QOL, changes in the vitality subscale and mental health summary score of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey were improved in the β-lactolin group. The levels of salivary immunoglobulin A were significantly higher in the β-lactolin group. In a subgroup analysis by median age (54.5 years), subjective stress and salivary prostaglandin levels were significantly decreased by β-lactolin supplementation in the 45–54 -year-old subgroup. In conclusion, supplementation with β-lactolin improves trait anxiety, subjective stress, and psychological QOL, which may be associated with immunologic responses detected via salivary analysis.

Abstract
This study aimed to review the recent development of different technologies in precision livestock farming (PLF), along with their scopes and challenges. PLF is an innovative, contemporary, and fast-expanding approach to agriculture that aims to improve sustainable livestock farming. The growing global population has increased the demand for animal products. To meet this demand, farmers have to increase their production, so without the integration of precision technology, this cannot be achieved. PLF currently employs a variety of technologies. Some of these methods include vision-based solutions, load cells, accelerometers, microphones, thermal cameras, photoelectric sensors, and radio-frequency identification (RFID). Despite the availability of different PLF technologies, their adoption by farmers varies widely on the basis of the cost of investment, ease of operation, availability, and accessibility. These technologies are used to track different activities of livestock farming, such as feeding, drinking, physical behavior, temperature regulation, tracking and identification, estrus detection, disease detection, and milking. PLF contributes significantly to technological advancement, human-animal relationships, environmental sustainability, and increased productivity. It does, however, present a number of obstacles and eventual advantages.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Quality issues are important factors restricting the development of hydrogen fuel cells. Quality problems in hydrogen fuel cells may stem from various stages, including technology, preparation processes, equipment used, usage environment, and personnel operation. Moreover, different problems are coupled with each other, resulting in the characteristics of one cause with multiple effects and multiple causes with one effect in the quality issues of hydrogen fuel cells. However, there are often similarities between these qualities in high-level information, such as mechanism, object, and behaviour, which are reflected in the similarity of network models in Bayesian diagnostic networks. Therefore, this article discusses how to reuse the Bayesian diagnosis network of previous quality problem cases to construct a Bayesian diagnosis network for hydrogen fuel cell quality problem diagnosis, thereby effectively improving the diagnosis efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell quality problems.

Abstract
Blue swimming crab is one of the leading fishery export commodities which occupies the 3rd largest position after tuna and shrimp. Crab maintenance so far uses rasbora fish feed which has several drawbacks, including inappropriate nutrition, depending on the season, and is difficult to handle. Therefore, simple artificial feed is needed to support crab growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of artificial feeding supplemented with pancreatic extract on crab growth. The research design used in this study was completely randomized design (CRD) with different concentrations of pancreatic extract (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%). Parameters observed included water quality (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and ammonia), feed proximate, crab biology. The results of this study indicate that the water quality in this study supports the life of blue swimming crabs. The feed proximate results show that the proximate value is in accordance with the crab’s needs. The results of swimming crab biology showed that the highest growth of crab was owned by the artificial feed + 9% pancreas and the lowest was in the trash fish treatment. Based on the results it can be seen that the best treatment to support the life of the blue swimming crab is artificial feed + 9% pancreas. Predigestion feed with the help of pancreatic extract concentrations can increase crab growth compared to ordinary feed or rasbora fish feed.

Abstract
In Mempawah Mangrove Park (MMP) coastal area, fishers are still often catch horseshoe crabs as a bycatch. One of its genera is Tachypleus. This research aimed to assess the morphometric character of Tachypleus from MMP Coastal area, West Kalimantan. A total of 14 parameters were measured from samples that were collected using a trammel net. The sampling frequency was three times from July to September 2022. Physical and chemical parameters of the waters are also studied to support the ecological information. Two species of Tachypleus were found in these waters, i.e. Tachypleus gigas (8 males and 4 females) and Tachypleus tridentatus (6 males and 11 females). In terms of size, females were larger than males in both species. Based on morphometric comparison between females and males of T. gigas, there was a significant difference in CL/PW ratio (p<0.05). On the other hand, for T. tridentatus, the ratio of PL/OL differed significantly (p<0.05).

Abstract
Blue swimming crab is an Indonesian fishery commodity with high economic value for export to America, Asia, and Europe. The increase in crab fishing activities every year results in diminishing stocks in nature, in addition to predator attacks around spawning areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the growth of blue swimming crabs and identify types of fish in the crab apartment shelters in Rembang Regency, Central Java Province, from March to May 2023. The egg berried female crabs were put in a floating apartment for three months and monitored every 2 weeks to determine the growth of the hatched crab eggs. Our observations showed as many as 50 egg berried female crab with with an average size of 8–10 cm and a weight of 40–65 g. There were other marine organisms found in the shelter, including rabbit fish, shrimp, small crabs, and therapon-perch. Rabbit fish and therapon-perch often result in reduced juveniles. Therefore, add and installing shelter is highly recommended to the entry of these fish. This study found crab apartment brings positive impacts on the survival of hacthing crabs and protected them from the threat of predatory fish.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is an important fishery resource in Indonesia because it has a high value and involves a lot of human resources. The pasteurized crab goes through several main stages, namely steaming, stripping, and canning. Steamed crabs will experience weight loss and produce a yield of meat in a certain amount and composition after peeling. This study aims to determine the weight loss during crab steaming and stripping processes on different sizes of crabs. The crabs were classified into three categories, namely small crab (carapace width <10 cm), big crab (carapace width >10 cm), and egg-berried female crabs. Technically, crabs were steamed for 20 minutes after the water boils with temperature of steaming of 80–90 °C. Steaming process wereallowed to stand for 60 minutes, followed by. peeling process where crab meat were separated from the skin. Weight measurements were taken on fresh, warm (shortly after steaming), and cooked crab (adjusted to room temperature) to calculate weight loss due to steaming while considering temperature adjustments and total loss. Results revealed the weight decrease about 16.75% during steaming, 19.61% during relaxation, and 27.47% during overall process. The highest meat yield was obtained from small crab by 30.64%, followed by large crab by 27.25%, and egg berried female by 24.39%.

Abstract
The two-port aperture linked silicon-graphene radiator in THz regime is investigated in this study. The primary characteristics of the radiator design are as follows: (i) a perturbed circular aperture that offers two working spectrums, 2.85–3.58 THz and 2.31–2.45 THz, with the support of a circular E-field within the two operating bands; (ii) an aperture mirror arrangement that enhances polarization diversity and raises the isolation level to over 25 dB; and (iii) a graphene layer over the ceramic that allows for tunability in the entire working band as well as a circularly polarized frequency range. The broadsided radiation pattern is produced by the dual hybrid mode, or HEM11δ and HEM12δ. A metallic reflector positioned underneath the radiator enhances the dual working spectrum’s gain value, or around 7.5 dBi. With the aid of CST-MWS software, the final results are confirmed. The developed radiator may be used for a variety of wireless applications in the THz domain thanks to its stable far-field pattern and strong diversity parameter values.
Cultural Property
Authors: Ho Jean 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 argues that cultural property is poorly regulated and understood in international law due to uncoordinated overlapping regulatory regimes and a persistent failure to develop and adopt a functional and progressive definition of cultural property. It further explains how transposing the attributes of new property identified in Chapter 1—imputable ownership, responsiveness to contextual factors, separability, and conferral of a benefit to cultural property—imparts credibility and coherence to an umbrella notion of cultural property that lends itself to more predictable regulation. Section 2 examines how cultural property is concurrently regulated by four distinct bodies of international law, none of which appear to absorb newer forms of cultural property. Section 3 critiques the tendency of international lawmakers to favour piecemeal regulatory regimes specific to cultural property when a common regulatory regime could have sufficed. The outcome of their approach is a series of bifurcations, where cultural property is distinguished from cultural heritage, and regulated differently depending on whether it is tangible or intangible, and whether it lies above water or underwater. These divisions have a distortive effect, cultivating the erroneous impression that cultural property is merely one of several discrete objects of regulation when it is, in fact, the principal object of regulation. Section 4 advocates the assimilation of cultural property to new property to mitigate the definitional chaos brought about by uncoordinated and piecemeal regulation outlined in Sections 2 and 3, and discusses the implications of regulating cultural property as new property in international law. Section 5 concludes.
Common Property
Authors: Ho Jean 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 contends that international law thus far offers no compelling framework for common property regulation because its makers have either advanced or acquiesced in the extension of private, capitalist property regulation to common, communal property regulation. By paying lip service to the multi-state ownership attribute of common property as new property, while crafting regimes that optimize benefit-sharing from common property use only among select states and stakeholders, international lawmakers afford an opportunity to review and rectify the misalignments in common property regulation. Section 2 explains how the current regulatory arrangements for the Antarctic, the Moon and other celestial objects, and the Area reveal a capitalist orientation where commercial, not communal, interests hold sway. Section 3 then elaborates on how these existing arrangements fail to cope with present and projected uses of common property, thereby jeopardizing the prospect of sustainable natural resource consumption. Section 4 recommends turning to common pool resource management principles for guidance on common property regulation, and considers the outlook for stakeholder commitment to a modified regulatory blueprint. Section 5 concludes.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Biomedical data are growing exponentially in both volume and levels of complexity, due to the rapid advancement of technologies and research methodologies. Analyzing these large datasets, referred to collectively as “big data,” has become an integral component of research that guides experimentation-driven discovery and a new engine of discovery itself as it uncovers previously unknown connections through mining of existing data. To fully realize the potential of big data, biomedical researchers need access to high-performance-computing (HPC) resources. However, supporting on-premises infrastructure that keeps up with these consistently expanding research needs presents persistent financial and staffing challenges, even for well-resourced institutions. For other institutions, including primarily undergraduate institutions and minority serving institutions, that educate a large portion of the future workforce in the USA, this challenge presents an insurmountable barrier. Therefore, new approaches are needed to provide broad and equitable access to HPC resources to biomedical researchers and students who will advance biomedical research in the future.

Abstract
Single-cell technologies enable researchers to investigate cell functions at an individual cell level and study cellular processes with higher resolution. Several multi-omics single-cell sequencing techniques have been developed to explore various aspects of cellular behavior. Using NEAT-seq as an example, this method simultaneously obtains three kinds of omics data for each cell: gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and protein expression of transcription factors (TFs). Consequently, NEAT-seq offers a more comprehensive understanding of cellular activities in multiple modalities. However, there is a lack of tools available for effectively integrating the three types of omics data. To address this gap, we propose a novel pipeline called MultiSC for the analysis of MULTIomic Single-Cell data. Our pipeline leverages a multimodal constraint autoencoder (single-cell hierarchical constraint autoencoder) to integrate the multi-omics data during the clustering process and a matrix factorization–based model (scMF) to predict target genes regulated by a TF. Moreover, we utilize multivariate linear regression models to predict gene regulatory networks from the multi-omics data. Additional functionalities, including differential expression, mediation analysis, and causal inference, are also incorporated into the MultiSC pipeline. Extensive experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of MultiSC. The results demonstrate that our pipeline enables researchers to gain a comprehensive view of cell activities and gene regulatory networks by fully leveraging the potential of multiomics single-cell data. By employing MultiSC, researchers can effectively integrate and analyze diverse omics data types, enhancing their understanding of cellular processes.
