Published: October 2024

Abstract
The management of blue swimming crabs requires several aspects to be considered, such as social and ecological aspects for the sustainability of small crab fisheries. Fishery management is currently still focused on economic interests, so if this is allowed to continue, it will result in ecosystem degradation. This study aims to determine the components of the social-ecological system of the blue swimming crab fishery and the interrelationships of the crab management factors in Lasem District, especially in Gedongmulyo Village, Rembang from March to June 2023 using a purposive sampling method, including socio-economic data and fishermen’s interviews. Analysis of social-ecological connectivity including resource systems (RG), resource units (RU), resource actors (RA), and resource governance (RG) subsystems, and analyzes management variables using the participatory prospective analysis (PPA) method. The results show the connectivity of the social ecological system of the blue swimming crab fishery in Lasem between Resource Actors and Resource Systems, Resource Units, and Resource Governance. While Resource Governance is negatively related to the Resource System. Re-education about the regulations for the use of non-environmentally friendly fishing gear, the impact on the environment, and fishermen’s awareness of the need to comply with these regulations needs to be carried out.

Abstract
This work examines the propagation of thermally tunable phonon–plasmon modes at the interfaces of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and isotropic indium antimonide (InSb). Both theoretical modeling and numerical simulations are carried out to analyze the effect of temperature on surface wave behavior. hBN is realized as a polar material via the Lorentzian model, while InSb is modeled as a temperature-sensitive material (TSM) in the framework of Drude’s model. The possible plasmon–phonon polaritonic interactions are studied for the TSM–elliptic type interface and TSM–hyperbolic type interface. It is reported that by varying the temperature, the surface modes can be tuned for the lower and upper Reststrahlen (RS) bands of hBN. The dispersion curve, effective mode index, propagation length, and phase speed are computed for each case under different temperatures. It is concluded that the hBN–InSb-based phonon–plasmon polariton modes are actively tuned by changing the external temperature in the lower and upper RS bands. Surface waves propagating across the interface can be modulated from the terahertz (THz) region to the infrared (IR) region by changing the temperature of InSb. This study will help researchers to design innovative thermo-optical sensors, plasmonic platforms, detectors, and surface waveguides in the THz and IR regions.
Rolling element bearing fault diagnosis under time-varying speed conditions based on improved wavelet packet transform and envelope order tracking

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Rolling element bearings (REBs) are crucial components of rotating machinery and play an important role in industrial production. Failure of REBs can lead to significant economic losses and catastrophic accidents. In order to ensure their safe and stable operation, we propose a novel approach called EOT-IWPT which combines the envelope order tracking (EOT) with an improved wavelet packet transform algorithm (IWPT) for diagnosing failures in REBs under time-varying speed conditions. First, the time- domain vibration signal is resampled at constant angle intervels according to the phase of the rotating shaft to obtain the angle-domian signal. Next, the resampled signal is decomposed to sub-band signals using IWPT. Third, the squared envelope spectra (also called envelope order spectra) of the last layer wavelet packet coefficients are obtained by the Hilbert transform and the Fourier transform. Finally, the diagnostic results can be easily determined based on the squared envelope spectra. The procedure and performance of the proposed approach are illustrated and evaluated through simulation analysis, proving that the proposed method can effectively extract the fault features. Furthermore, experimental analysis results indicate that the proposed method outperforms both EOT-WPT and SK-EOT-BPF.
Study on fatigue performance and topology optimization of cast steel bifurcation joint under alternating load
Authors: Sun Yun , Song Da , Sun Shuxuan , Liu Yangbing 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The optimal shape under alternating load was studied using the topology optimization method to address the issues of heavy self-weight, insufficient optimization, and inadequate assessment of fatigue life on cast steel bifurcation joints. The numerical simulation analysis of a typical cast steel bifurcation joint under the alternating load was performed to comprehend its mechanical properties. The MSC Fatigue is used to explore and analyze the fatigue behavior of joints, and the control variable approach is used to examine the impact of various geometric parameters on fatigue life. Then, the load spectrum and fatigue life were invertedly calculated and transformed into maximum stress constraints by converting fatigue limitations into stress constraints. Finally, the optimal shape of cast steel bifurcation joint under fatigue limitations was studied using topology optimization methods. The research results show that the intersection of the main and branch pipes is the fatigue performance weakest part of the whole joint, which is different from the static analysis results. The geometric parameters affect the joint’s fatigue performance, and the fatigue hazard zone disperses. The topology optimization shapes of cast steel bifurcated joints are different under vertical and horizontal stress constraints, indicating that different load conditions significantly impact topology optimization shapes. When optimizing cast steel bifurcation joints subjected to alternating loads, optimization can be done on the main pipe and branch pipes rather than in the intersection of the main pipe and branch pipes.
Treatment of turbine blades in electric power stations by adding nano oxides to the matrix material (Al80-Ni20)
Authors: Ali Alaa Y , Abdulqader Mohammed S , Darweesh Salih Y 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A base material of Al80-Ni20 was used and mixed with variable proportions of Nano chromium oxide (Cr2O3) at percentages of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%, as well as with Nano magnesium oxide (MgO) at percentages of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%. These mixtures were then applied using the thermal spraying method with a flame. This particular method is commonly used for repairing cracks and protecting turbine blades in electric power stations from external corrosion. However, it is important to note that this method may face challenges when exposed to high-temperature water vapour, salts and other working conditions experienced by turbine blades. Samples were prepared by thermally sintering the coating at 1000 °C for two hours. Various measurements were performed to assess the structural properties using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), as well as other physical tests such as porosity, hardness, adhesion strength and frictional wear. The SEM analysis revealed that the presence of 10% Cr2O3 resulted in a surface that was uniformly free from external defects, whereas the addition of MgO led to a less homogeneous surface. The physical data obtained indicated a preference for Cr2O3, as evidenced by the porosity results (4.5%) observed after thermal sintering at 10%, as well as the hardness (193 HV), adhesion strength (40 MPa) and wear (2.90 × 10−5 g cm−1) measurements. Moreover, the analyses of the properties of MgO under the same conditions included porosity (10%), hardness (155 HV), adhesion strength (35 MPa) and wear (5.50 × 10−5 g cm−1).
Vertical Internal Brow Suspension: A Technique to Avoid Lateral Relapse After Endoscopic Brow Lift
Authors: Bitik Ozan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background
Endoscopic brow lift is an integral component of upper face surgical rejuvenation protocols. Lateral relapse is one of the leading causes of dissatisfaction after endoscopic brow lift.

Objectives
In this study I introduce and evaluate the vertical internal brow suspension (VIBS), a novel fixation technique designed to prevent lateral brow relapse following endoscopic brow lift.

Methods
A retrospective review was conducted on 118 consecutive endoscopic brow lift cases performed by the author between January 2019 and June 2024 with the VIBS technique. Additionally, a subgroup of 29 patients who underwent isolated endoscopic brow lifts with at least 1 year of follow-up were included in a quantitative analysis of long-term brow position and forehead height.

Results
Significant increases in brow height across all measurement levels (P &lt; .001) were observed in the quantitative analysis subgroup. No significant change in forehead height was noted (P = .927). The VIBS technique also beneficially reduced apparent forehead height in patients with initially high foreheads. Frontal suture extrusions (6.8%) and temporary hair loss around scalp incisions (5.1%) were the most common complications observed in the retrospective analysis of 118 patients.

Conclusions
The VIBS technique effectively prevents lateral brow relapse, achieving stable lateral brow elevation. It is a safe technique with minor complications. It addresses one of the long-standing challenges of the endoscopic brow lift surgery, representing a valuable advancement in upper face rejuvenation procedures.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Flavonoids are present in plant foods such as vegetables and fruits and exhibit various physiological effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Ingested flavonoids are absorbed from the intestinal tract and circulated in the blood. Some studies have indicated the presence of flavonoids in breast milk. However, information on their metabolites and concentrations in breast milk and the subsequent transfer to and physiological functions in infants is limited. Therefore, this review presents a compilation of recent findings on the transfer of flavonoids to infants via breast milk and their bioactivities.

Abstract
Kisspeptin is a major regulator of gonadotropin secretion in pigs. Previously, CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of KISS1 was used to develop a mosaic parental line of pigs to generate offspring that would not need castration due to loss of kisspeptin. The current goal was to characterize growth and reproductive development of F1 pigs from this parental line. Body weights, gonadotropin concentrations and gonadal development were measured from birth through development (boars to 220 days of age, n = 42; gilts to 160 days of age, n = 36). Testosterone, skatole, and androstenone were also measured in boars. Blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture for quantification of serum hormones, gonadal tissues were collected for gross morphology and histology, and a fat biopsy was collected (boars) for skatole and androstenone analysis. Body weight did not differ with genotype. There were no differences between KISS1+/+ and heterozygote KISS1+/− animals for most parameters measured. Gonadotropin concentrations were reduced in KISS1−/− boars and gilts compared with KISS1+/+ and KISS1+/− animals (P &lt; 0.05). Concentrations of testosterone in serum and both androstenone and skatole in adipose were less in KISS1−/− boars than in KISS1+/+ and KISS1+/− boars (P &lt; 0.05). Hypogonadism was present in all KISS1−/− gilts and boars. These data indicate that knocking out KISS1 causes hypogonadotropic hypogonadism but does not negatively affect growth in pigs. Only one KISS1 allele is needed for normal gonadotropin secretion and gonadal development, and accumulation of compounds in adipose leading to boar taint.
Group sequential testing of a treatment effect using a surrogate marker
Authors: Parast Layla , Bartroff Jay 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
The identification of surrogate markers is motivated by their potential to make decisions sooner about a treatment effect. However, few methods have been developed to actually use a surrogate marker to test for a treatment effect in a future study. Most existing methods consider combining surrogate marker and primary outcome information to test for a treatment effect, rely on fully parametric methods where strict parametric assumptions are made about the relationship between the surrogate and the outcome, and/or assume the surrogate marker is measured at only a single time point. Recent work has proposed a nonparametric test for a treatment effect using only surrogate marker information measured at a single time point by borrowing information learned from a prior study where both the surrogate and primary outcome were measured. In this paper, we utilize this nonparametric test and propose group sequential procedures that allow for early stopping of treatment effect testing in a setting where the surrogate marker is measured repeatedly over time. We derive the properties of the correlated surrogate-based nonparametric test statistics at multiple time points and compute stopping boundaries that allow for early stopping for a significant treatment effect, or for futility. We examine the performance of our proposed test using a simulation study and illustrate the method using data from two distinct AIDS clinical trials.
On network deconvolution for undirected graphs
Authors: Lin Zhaotong , Pan Isaac , Pan Wei 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Network deconvolution (ND) is a method to reconstruct a direct-effect network describing direct (or conditional) effects (or associations) between any two nodes from a given network depicting total (or marginal) effects (or associations). Its key idea is that, in a directed graph, a total effect can be decomposed into the sum of a direct and an indirect effects, with the latter further decomposed as the sum of various products of direct effects. This yields a simple closed-form solution for the direct-effect network, facilitating its important applications to distinguish direct and indirect effects. Despite its application to undirected graphs, it is not well known why the method works, leaving it with skepticism. We first clarify the implicit linear model assumption underlying ND, then derive a surprisingly simple result on the equivalence between ND and use of precision matrices, offering insightful justification and interpretation for the application of ND to undirected graphs. We also establish a formal result to characterize the effect of scaling a total-effect graph. Finally, leveraging large-scale genome-wide association study data, we show a novel application of ND to contrast marginal versus conditional genetic correlations between body height and risk of coronary artery disease; the results align with an inferred causal directed graph using ND. We conclude that ND is a promising approach with its easy and wide applicability to both directed and undirected graphs.
Exploring the landscape of automated species identification apps: Development, promise, and user appraisal
Authors: Truong Minh-Xuan A , Van der Wal René 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Two decades ago, Gaston and O'Neill (2004) deliberated on why automated species identification had not become widely employed. We no longer have to wonder: This AI-based technology is here, embedded in numerous web and mobile apps used by large audiences interested in nature. Now that automated species identification tools are available, popular, and efficient, it is time to look at how the apps are developed, what they promise, and how users appraise them. Delving into the automated species identification apps landscape, we found that free and paid apps differ fundamentally in presentation, experience, and the use of biodiversity and personal data. However, these two business models are deeply intertwined. Going forward, although big tech companies will eventually take over the landscape, citizen science programs will likely continue to have their own identification tools because of their specific purpose and their ability to create a strong sense of belonging among naturalist communities.
Why and How Do Prison Litigation Strategies and Their Cultures Matter?
Authors: Cliquennois Gaëtan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article highlights the main impediments and inequalities in access to justice for prisoners. Access to justice is considered by European institutions to be one of the vehicles for transforming legislation for better respecting human rights. However, we show that the nature and intensity of strategic litigation depend on three main prison litigation models. These models differentially impact access to justice for prisoners through three main obstacles—deterrence, procedural obstacles and legal aid. Hence, by forging the concept of differentiated litigation, this article calls attention to the different ways in which prison litigation is carried out on the ground and how these lead to different impacts on the barriers to access to justice.

Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia 27B (SCA27B) is a common autosomal dominant ataxia caused by an intronic GAA•TTC repeat expansion in FGF14. Neuropathological studies have shown that neuronal loss is largely restricted to the cerebellum. Although the repeat locus is highly unstable during intergenerational transmission, it remains unknown whether it exhibits cerebral mosaicism and progressive instability throughout life.
We conducted an analysis of the FGF14 GAA•TTC repeat somatic instability across 156 serial blood samples from 69 individuals, fibroblasts, induced pluripotent stem cells and post-mortem brain tissues from six controls and six patients with SCA27B, alongside methylation profiling using targeted long-read sequencing. Peripheral tissues exhibited minimal somatic instability, which did not significantly change over periods of more than 20 years. In post-mortem brains, the GAA•TTC repeat was remarkably stable across all regions, except in the cerebellar hemispheres and vermis. The levels of somatic expansion in the cerebellar hemispheres and vermis were, on average, 3.15 and 2.72 times greater relative to other examined brain regions, respectively. Additionally, levels of somatic expansion in the brain increased with repeat length and tissue expression of FGF14. We found no significant difference in methylation of wild-type and expanded FGF14 alleles in post-mortem cerebellar hemispheres between patients and controls.
In conclusion, our study revealed that the FGF14 GAA•TTC repeat exhibits a cerebellar-specific expansion bias, which may explain the pure cerebellar involvement in SCA27B.
