Numerical Investigation of Steel Section Remaining Tensile Capacity During SMAW Welding
Authors: Mushthofa Malik 
Published: August 2024

This study investigates a method for calculating the remaining axial tension capacity of thin steel sections during Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) under load. This necessitates a method to address situations where welding operations must be performed on structures already experiencing stress. Thin sections are particularly susceptible to the elevated temperatures associated with welding. To address this challenge, simulations were utilized to model the effect of the welding heat on thin sections. The simulations considered the temperature rise experienced by each segment within the section. This rise led to a reduction in yield strength, ultimate strength, and elastic modulus for each segment. Subsequently, the partial tension capacity for each segment was calculated based on its area and the reduced strength properties. Finally, the remaining axial tension capacity was determined by summing the tension capacities of all segments. The results revealed a noteworthy correlation between welding parameters and the remaining tension capacity. Higher welding currents were associated with a greater loss of tension capacity, while faster welding speeds resulted in minimizing this loss. The scenario employing the lowest welding current and highest welding speed yielded the most favorable outcome, with the remaining tension capacity reaching 76%, 85%, and 89% for sections of 40.40.4, 50.50.5, and 60.60.6, respectively. Conversely, employing the highest welding current and slowest welding speed significantly reduced the remaining axial tension capacity until there were only 28%, 50%, and 66% left for the respective sections.

The damage to the vanadium surface and the ejection of microdroplets from the surface of vanadium into the vacuum chamber of the Plasma Focus device “Vikhr” under the influence of pulsed flows of deuterium ions and deuterium plasma with a power density of ~ 107 – 108 W/cm2 has been studied. It is shown that, as a result of pulsed heating, a liquid film is formed on the surface of vanadium. Under the action of a plasma flow moving parallel to the surface at a high speed, the Kelvin — Helmholtz instability arises, which leads to the formation of waves on the melt film. Under the influence of the plasma flow and powerful acoustic pulses that occur during pulsed irradiation of the sample, micro-droplets of liquid vanadium break off and transfer them to the surface of the copper screen-collector. The possible influence of such processes on the operation of thermonuclear fusion facilities is noted.

Hamilton Cycle on the Wheel Graph
Authors: Anggraini Fadhila , Gemawati Sri 
Published: August 2024

This article discusses the existence of the Hamilton cycle in the wheel graph by constructing steps to find the existence of the Hamilton cycle. A graph that has a Hamilton cycle is called a Hamilton graph, A circle graph is a graph where each vertex has a degree of two, denoted by Cn. A graph obtained by adding a central vertex to a circle graph and connecting it to all the vertices of the circle graph is called a wheel graph, denoted by Wn . If the wheel graph Wn has m where m is the number of that replaces each point in Wn then it can be denoted by Wmn . Then, in the wheel graph Wmn is the number of outermost points of Wmn added to 1 point located in the center. Based on the construction, it is found that there is a Hamilton cycle in the wheel graph. In the wheel graph Wn contains Hamilton cycle for n>=3. Furthermore, the wheel graph Wmn also contains Hamilton cycle for n>=3 and m>=1, but the image of the wheel graph Wmn is only perfectly drawn for n=2k where k is an integer. This is because there are colliding edges in the wheel graph for n=2k-1 where k is an integer.

BACKGROUND: Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI)-based therapy is recommended for first-line treatment of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Cabozantinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved in the USA for treating mRCC, including after CPI-based therapy. However, data on the benefits of subsequent TKI therapy are limited. OBJECTIVE: To study the real-world use and outcomes of cabozantinib versus other TKIs after CPI-based therapy for mRCC. METHODS: This retrospective study used data from the US Oncology Network electronic health record database supplemented by chart review. Patients initiated TKI therapy between 2016 and 2021 after CPI-based therapy. The primary endpoint was real-world response rate in the first 6 months of treatment (RR-6m; physician assessment). Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Covariates were adjusted by inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS: Of 485 included patients, 331 received cabozantinib and 154 another TKI. Baseline characteristics were generally similar between arms. For cabozantinib versus other TKIs, adjusted RR-6m (available for 69.3% of patients) was 62.5% versus 46.0% (rate difference: superiority, 16.5% [95% CI: 7.8–25.1], p = 0.0002), adjusted ORR was 62.4% versus 49.4% ( p = 0.0020), adjusted median OS was 19.2 versus 19.1 months ( p = 0.7353) and adjusted median PFS was 7.9 versus 9.2 months ( p = 0.8752). CONCLUSIONS: Cabozantinib following CPI-based therapy was effective for treating mRCC in the US real-world setting. Differences in adjusted RR-6m and ORR significantly favored cabozantinib versus other TKIs. The lack of OS difference may reflect differences in post-index therapy.

Can the Flow Simulation Domain for Bifurcation Aneurysms on the Willis Circle Be Radically Reduced?
Authors: Friedrich Péter , Paál György 
Published: August 2024

This paper presents an attempt to decrease the domain for the simulation of blood flow in certain types of bifurcation aneurysms. A reduced computational cost would be beneficial for the simulation of large datasets, to have statistical data for various hemodynamical parameters. The reduction is achieved by cutting the geometry in an objective manner, with the help of the Vascular Modelling Toolkit (VMTK). CFD simulations were carried out on both the original and the partial geometries, using partially patient-specific boundary conditions. The post-processing focused on the velocity field, as it is more robust than the wall shear stress-based indicators for aneurysm formation. Using VMTK, a centerline was calculated for each case. Various morphological values can be calculated, namely the torsion and curvature. The velocity field was broken down to velocity components using the Frenet-frames. The evaluation was carried out on a plane before the next bifurcation downstream. The post-processing calculations were made for 2 distinct time steps, one at the systolic and one at the diastolic instant and for a cycle average. The results showed that the method reproduces the axial velocity component with small deviations. However, for the secondary components the difference between the partial and original geometries was unacceptably high. Therefore, the method proved to be unsuitable.
Trauma, Lu Xun, and the Specter of the Taiping Civil War
Authors: Emerson Andrew 
Published: August 2024

Conventional characterizations of Lu Xun (1881–1936) as an “iconoclast” overlook his skepticism of the ways in which May Fourth conceptions of modernity privilege one particular trauma in Chinese history —foreign imperialism — over others of equal or arguably even greater significance. This essay investigates this other Lu Xun through a reading of his short story “Looking Back to the Past” ( Huaijiu, 1913), which depicts traumas provoked by the Taiping Civil War (1850–1864). I show that this story captures a discursive system whose major components — be it the classic tradition-modernity dichotomy or leading alternative paradigms — all prove incapable of fully assimilating the epistemological, historical, and human violence constituted by the War. Seen in this light, Chinese modernity represents not the clean break with the past envisioned in May Fourth ideology but rather a continued effort to work through the past that even Lu Xun cannot bring to completion. In nuancing our understanding of Lu Xun and the dominant discourses of his era, this essay ultimately also challenges discourses dominant in our own era — above all, our stubbornly Westernized notions of what made modern Chinese literature “modern.”

Published: August 2024

BackgroundThis study investigated the association between vasoactive medication exposure and mortality risk in patients with sepsis using the norepinephrine equivalent (NEE) score and vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included adult patients with sepsis requiring vasoactive agents. The data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Multivariate Cox regression was used to elucidate the relationship between vasoactive medication exposure and 28-day mortality, as quantified by the VIS and NEE score. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for 28-day mortality were generated, and forest plots were constructed to present the results of univariate and multivariate analyses. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to analyze the cumulative incidence of 28-day mortality. A nomogram was constructed to predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis.ResultsThe present study encompassed 9,032 patients diagnosed with sepsis who received vasoactive therapy, of which 4,229 patients were further analyzed at the second hour after the onset of sepsis. Distinct variations in demographic data were observed between survivors (n = 3,265, 77.21%) and non-survivors (n = 964, 22.79%). Multivariate analysis indicated that several factors, including VIS &gt;15.04 (p = 0.001), NEE &gt;0.10 (p &lt; 0.001), heart rate (p = 0.045), mean arterial pressure (p = 0.009), respiratory rate (p &lt; 0.001), oxygen saturation (p &lt; 0.001), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (p = 0.001), and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (p &lt; 0.001), were significantly associated with 28-day mortality in the patients with sepsis. The NEE score, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and BUN were incorporated into the nomogram model with a concordance index of 0.779 and an area under the curve of 0.802 (95% CI 0.787–0.818).ConclusionWe found that the VIS and NEE score had favorable values for predicting mortality risk in patients with sepsis in the intensive care units. The VIS and NEE score in the second hour after sepsis onset were independently associated with 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis.

Published: August 2024

BackgroundDistal radial artery (DRA) access is an infrequent alternative access for pediatric catheterization. The feasibility of using the DRA for arterial catheterization in children depends on the vessel's size.ObjectivesThis study aims to provide a reference for pediatric catheterization via DRA access by evaluating the diameter of the DRA in the anatomic snuffbox (AS).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of clinical and vascular ultrasound data of 412 children (ages 3–12) who were scheduled for arterial blood gas analysis via the DRA due to serious respiratory diseases between June 2023 and October 2023.ResultsThe corrected DRA diameter in the AS was 1.97 ± 0.37 mm overall, with no significant difference between males (1.98 ± 0.38 mm) and females (1.95 ± 0.35 mm) (p = 0.457). The anteroposterior, transverse, and corrected DRA diameters increased significantly with age (p &lt; 0.05). The DRA diameter was significantly smaller than the proximal radial artery (PRA) diameter (1.97 ± 0.37 mm vs. 2.05 ± 0.33 mm, p &lt; 0.001) but larger than the ulnar artery (UA) diameter (1.97 ± 0.37 mm vs. 1.88 ± 0.33 mm, p &lt; 0.001). The proportions of patients with a DRA diameter greater than 2.0 mm and 1.5 mm were 38.83% and 86.89%, respectively. The proportions of patients with DRA diameters &gt;2.0 mm and &gt;1.5 mm increased significantly with age (p &lt; 0.01). The percentages of individuals with a DRA/PRA ratio ≥1.0 were 55.10% overall, 52.12% in males, and 58.60% in females. DRA diameter showed significant correlations with age (r = 0.275, p &lt; 0.01), height (r = 0.319, p &lt; 0.01), weight (r = 0.319, p &lt; 0.01), BMI (r = 0.241, p &lt; 0.01), wrist circumference (r = 0.354, p &lt; 0.01), PRA diameter (r = 0.521, p &lt; 0.01), and UA diameter (r = 0.272, p &lt; 0.01).ConclusionThe DRA diameter in children increases with age and size, making cardiac catheterization is theoretically feasible. Preoperative evaluation of the vessel diameter and intraoperative ultrasound-guided intervention are recommended for paediatric catheterization via the DRA access.
