Evolution of the crack patterns in nanostructured films with subsequent wetting and drying cycles
Authors: McIlroy David , Pauchard Ludovic 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Crack patterns in coatings present various morphologies as a signature of the matter to external stresses. Brittle films generally show a network of connected cracks due to a hierarchical formation process. On the contrary, non-sequential crack growth leads to a different morphology with few junctions. The present work focuses on the evolution of both crack networks under the effect of repeated stresses. The experimental work is performed through porous thin films over subsequent wetting and drying processes. The non-connected network of cracks is investigated through nanostructured films exhibiting compliant and elastic properties. Over repeated stresses, this crack network evolves until it reaches stabilization. The stabilization appears when the cracks stop growing and a shielding effect occurs. This behaviour is compared with a more classical connected network of cracks that do not evolve in the plane under the effect of repeated processes.
Reconstructing Prospective Intergenerational Educational Mobility in 12 Countries
Authors: Yastrebov Gordey , Wittemann Vanessa 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this article, we reconstruct prospective intergenerational educational mobility and explore fertility's role in this process for women born between 1925 and 1950 in 12 European countries. We do so by combining high-quality retrospective data (Generations and Gender Survey) and low-requirement prospective datasets using an inferential method developed and advanced in prior research. Our analysis shows that the negative educational fertility gradient partly compensates for the inequality in prospective mobility rates between lower and higher educated women and is most pronounced in high-inequality contexts. However, fertility's role is small and declining and thus does not account for much of the differences in mobility rates between countries. We also explore the relative importance of sibship size effects in mediating the effect of fertility gradient, finding it negligible. Finally, we explore the correspondence between prospective and retrospective estimates in the reconstruction of prospective mobility rates and suggest why the former, when available, must be preferred.

Risk-Averse Markov Decision Processes Through a Distributional Lens
Authors: Cheng Ziteng , Jaimungal Sebastian 
Published: July 2024

By adopting a distributional viewpoint on law-invariant convex risk measures, we construct dynamic risk measures (DRMs) at the distributional level. We then apply these DRMs to investigate Markov decision processes, incorporating latent costs, random actions, and weakly continuous transition kernels. Furthermore, the proposed DRMs allow risk aversion to change dynamically. Under mild assumptions, we derive a dynamic programming principle and show the existence of an optimal policy in both finite and infinite time horizons. Moreover, we provide a sufficient condition for the optimality of deterministic actions. For illustration, we conclude the paper with examples from optimal liquidation with limit order books and autonomous driving.

Authors: Dong Hongqi , Fu Yanwei , Zeng Jiaqing , Wang Xinyu , Ma Wanzhuo 
Published: July 2024

We demonstrate a free-space optical (FSO) communication scheme based on an all-optical wavelength converter (AOWC). An all-optical wavelength converter is constructed based on the four-wave mixing (FWM) effect, and information replication is achieved by adjusting the pump power and wavelength spacing to convert the light. The feasibility and stability of each channel in a strong turbulent channel are verified through an eye diagram and bit error rate testing, with a total transmission rate of 30 Gb/s. It has been proven that improving conversion efficiency helps to reduce the bit error rate of transmitted signals. This article presents an experimental analysis of free-space information transmission based on AOWC for the first time, providing a reference for establishing high-speed multiplexing communication.

Published: July 2024

A photonic crystal fiber surface plasmon resonance sensor based on a double-layer membrane structure is designed and analyzed. In the simple sensing structure with only one air hole size, TiO2 and Au layers with specific thicknesses are sequentially coated on the optical fiber to form a double-layer structure. The sensing characteristics of the double-layer membrane structure are studied by the finite element method. Compared to the single-layer membrane structure, the double-layer membrane sensor has significant sensing properties such as a better wavelength sensitivity and a smaller full width at half maximum in the loss spectrum. In the refractive index range between 1.37 and 1.43, the maximum wavelength sensitivity and average wavelength sensitivity of the sensor are 19,900 nm/RIU and 7417 nm/RIU, respectively, and the resolution can be up to 5.03×10−6RIU. The proposed photonic crystal fiber optic sensor achieves high performance with a simpler sensing structure than previous photonic crystal fiber optic sensors, and eliminates the step of polishing, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of actual fabrication and the error due to uneven polishing. The results show that the photonic crystal fiber optic sensor with a double-layer membrane structure has excellent performance. Due to its high sensitivity and resolution, it has great potential for applications in environmental monitoring, biosensing and chemical sensing.

Published: July 2024

Treatment of patients with chronic non-specific back pain (CNBP) is an important issue not only in medicine, but also in modern society as a whole, as it is associated with significant socio-economic burden.The lecture presents the most common anatomical sources of CNBP, the causes of CNBP and issues of differential diagnosis. Much attention is paid to the basic principles of therapy for CNBP: drug therapy, kinesiotherapy and psychological methods. Clinical observations are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of a multimodal integrated approach to the treatment of CNBP based on the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, educational programs and kinesiotherapy and self-monitoring test tasks.
Screening and identification of IAA-capable and cellulose-degrading bacteria with the potential for plant growth-promoting traits
Authors: DINH Mai Van , DO Quang Trung , NGUYEN Trong Tri 
Published: July 2024

Strains with both straw degradation and plant growth promotion ability were selected from the cultivated soil in Bac Kan, Vietnam to solve the problems of poor soil microbial diversity status, weak corrosion promotion effect, and poor crop growth caused by fungal rot diseases. Among seventeen bacteria isolated, strain NR1 presented the highest value for cellulase enzyme activity (Hydrolysis index = 24.8 mm), and IAA production (20.15 mg l-1), and was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Priest et al., 1987. Inoculation with NR1 significantly increased the rot promotion rate of straw under liquid fermentation by 54.71 % compared with the control and increased the root length and average diameter, and SPAD value of maize under soil culture by 18.3 %, 22.0 %, and 5.24 % respectively (p < 0.05). In addition, fertilizing 8 or 9 tons of NR1-degraded compost fertilizer per hectare had the best effect on the growth, development, and productivity of the L14 peanut variety. These results suggest strain NR1 could be used to produce multi-functional humus, accelerate the decomposition of straw in the cultivated soil, and promote crop growth.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe monocyte–macrophage system plays an important role in phagocytosis of pathogens and cellular debris following infection or tissue injury in several pathophysiological conditions. We examined ENaC/ASIC subunit transcript expression and the importance of select subunits in migration of bone marrow derived monocytes (freshly isolated) and macrophages (monocytes differentiated in culture). We also examined the effect of select subunit deletion on macrophage phenotype. BM monocytes were harvested from the femurs of male and female WT and KO mice (6–12 weeks of age). Our results show that α, β, γENaC, and ASIC1‐5 transcripts are expressed in BM macrophages and monocytes to varying degrees. At least αENaC, βENaC, and ASIC2 subunits contribute to chemotactic migration responses in BM monocyte–macrophages. Polarization markers (CD86, soluble TNFα) in BM macrophages from mice lacking ASIC2a plus βENaC were shifted towards the M1 phenotype. Furthermore, select M1 phenotypic markers were recovered with rescue of βENaC or ASIC2. Taken together, these data suggest that βENaC and ASIC2 play an important role in BM macrophage migration and loss of βENaC and/or ASIC2 partially polarizes macrophages to the M1 phenotype. Thus, targeting ENaC/ASIC expression in BM macrophages may regulate their ability to migrate to sites of injury.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Catfish (Clarias magur) is a popular freshwater fish food worldwide. The processing of this fish generates a significant amount of waste, mainly in the form of viscera, which constitutes around 10–12% of the fish’s total weight. This study was focused on extracting polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-rich oil from catfish viscera, aiming to enhance the extraction process and make the production of oil and handling of fish byproducts more cost-effective. The wet reduction method, a solvent-free approach, was used for extraction, with yield optimization done via the Box–Behnken design. The resulting oil was evaluated for its oxidative quality and chemical characteristics. The optimal conditions for the wet rendering process were as follows: viscera to water ratio, 1:0.5 (w/v); temperature, 90℃; and time, 20 min, yielding 12.40 g/100 g of oil. The oil extracted under optimal wet rendering conditions had quality and oxidative stability comparable to solvent extraction and fewer secondary oxidation compounds. This oil had a higher PUFA content, specifically a 4:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3. Such oil, derived from catfish viscera, is suitable for the food industry due to its solvent-free extraction method.
“Give It Branches & Roots”: Virginia Woolf and the Vegetal Event of Literature
Authors: Potoczny Anna Wiktoria 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article examines Virginia Woolf’s figurations of her writing process on the basis of her published diaries with particular attention to vegetal imagery and metaphor. Employing insights from critical plant studies, specifically the works of Michael Marder, and biosemiotics, specifically those of Wendy Wheeler, I investigate the image of fluid, open-ended, multiplicitous, and non-appropriative vegetal (non-)self as convergent with Woolf’s view of the writing subject. Further, I argue that writing, as presented by the modernist author, requires the suspension of conscious ideation and increased attention to the pre-conceptual and therefore bears the trace of what Marder terms “plant-thinking.” Referring to the biosemiotic concept of abductive logic, I propose that the image of writing emerging from Woolf’s diary possesses a necessary embodied, intuitive, and relational component, characteristic and continuous with semiosis that pervades the entirety of more-than-human biological life. Finally, drawing on Marder’s reconceptualisation of the event according to the specificity of the vegetal, I suggest that literature, for Woolf, constitutes just such a vegetal event – both rooted and proliferating, unfolding towards exteriority and predicated upon chance rather than the logic of finality.
Study on the strength mechanism of the wooden round-end mortise-and-tenon joint using the digital image correlation method
Authors: Hu Wengang , Yu Runzhong 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study was to reveal the strength mechanism of the mortise-and-tenon (M–T) joint at a deeper level. The effects of tenon fit on bending and withdrawal load resistances, and strain distributions outside and inside beech (Fagus sylvatica) wooden round-end M–T joints were experimentally investigated using mechanical testing synchronizing digital image correlation method (DICM). The results showed that (1) the tenon fit had greater significance on withdrawal properties than that of bending properties of M–T joints; (2) the bending load resistance was linearly proportional to withdrawal load resistance based on both theoretic analysis and regression methods; (3) strain distributions outside M–T joints during the loading process were not sufficient to evaluate the mechanical behaviors of the M–T joint; (4) strain distributions inside M–T joints showed that the maximum strains on top and bottom parts of the tenon were significantly greater than that of middle part, but the difference decreased with the growth of tenon fit; (5) the method of determining the optimal tenon fit of the M–T joint based on the DICM was proposed, and optimal tenon fit of beech wooden round-end M–T joint evaluated ranged from 0.4 to 0.5 mm.
Comprehensive landscape of integrator complex subunits and their association with prognosis and tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer
Authors: Tong Xiaoxia , Ma Li , Wu Di , Liu Yibing , Liu Yonglei 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Backgrounds
The integrator complex (INT) is a multiprotein assembly in gene transcription. Although several subunits of INT complex have been implicated in multiple cancers, the complex’s role in gastric cancer (GC) is poorly understood.

Methods
The gene expressions, prognostic values, and the associations with microsatellite instability (MSI) of INT subunits were confirmed by GEO and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, TISIDB, and MCPcounter algorithm were adopted to investigate the mutation frequency, protein–protein interaction network, and the association with immune cells of INT subunits in GC. Additionally, in vitro experiments were performed to confirm the role of INTS11 in pathogenesis of GC.

Results
The mRNA expression levels of INTS2/4/5/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14 were significantly elevated both in GSE183904 and TCGA datasets. Through functional enrichment analysis, the functions of INT subunits were mainly associated with snRNA processing, INT, and DNA-directed 5′–3′ RNA polymerase activity. Moreover, these INT subunit expressions were associated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and MSI in GC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that knockdown of the catalytic core INTS11 in GC cells inhibits cell proliferation ability. INTS11 overexpression showed opposite effects.

Conclusions
Our data demonstrate that the INT complex might act as an oncogene and can be used as a prognosis biomarker for GC.
What is a dialect? What is a standard?: shifting indexicality and persistent ideological norms
Authors: Kroo Judit 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the ways in which the indexical meanings that attach to enregistered speaking styles are debated and contested in interaction by younger Japanese adults. Contested meanings include discourses of so-called hyoojungo ‘Standard Japanese’ and the speaking styles that are collectively described as ‘Okinawan dialect’, which are associated with the islands of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. This paper uses data from casual conversations between younger male adults who were all born and raised in Okinawa Prefecture but moved to the main island of Honshu for university. Discourse analysis of these conversations demonstrates how these younger adults negotiate the social meanings attached to Okinawan speaking styles, linking them to broader ideologies of so-called hyoojungo as well as gendered styles, and reproducing normative ideologies of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ speech. Homing in on moments in which these speech styles are negotiated, the results of this paper emphasize the persistence of normative linguistic ideologies even as the meaning and content of linguistic styles are being re-imagined.
Analysis and structural characterization of the vid-pisco market

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The objective of this was to determine the factors and social actors that characterize the vid-pisco market in Peru. Using a methodology with a non-experimental qualitative approach of exploratory and descriptive scope, a structural analysis was carried out with the support of a group of five experts familiar with the system studied and the Cross Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to a Classification tool. The findings allowed us to identify the most influential and dependent factors of the system: the number of people identified with the vid-pisco as a Peruvian symbol, the number of liters of pisco consumed per person, and the percentage of market growth per person per year. On the other hand, the most important social actors turned out to be tourists who visit the country and consume pisco, local consumers, and national distributors. The key factors are important for the system since good management of these favors its development; in the same way that the actions carried out by the actors would complement their development. This study constitutes a starting point for the planning and design of strategies that support the evolution of the system in the medium or long term.
Comprehensive evaluation of physical properties and carbon dioxide capacities of new 2-(butylamino)ethanol-based deep eutectic solvents

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The aim of this research was to assess the impact of the components of alkanolamine deep eutectic solvents (DESs) on the physical properties of those DESs and their carbon dioxide capacity. To achieve this goal, novel deep eutectic solvents were synthesized by using 2-(butylamino)ethanol (BAE) as the hydrogen bond donor (HBD), along with tetrabutylammonium bromide TBAB), tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC), or tetraethylammonium chloride (TEAC) as the hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA) at various molar ratios (1:6, 1:8, and 1:10). To confirm the presence of hydrogen bond interactions between the components Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy measurements were conducted. Furthermore, thermal properties, including melting points and thermal stability, of these deep eutectic solvents as well as key physical properties, such as density, viscosity, refractive index, and sound velocity, within the temperature range of 293.15–333.15 K and at a pressure of 0.1 MPa were examined. The effect of the molar ratio of HBA to HBD, the type of anion, and the length of the alkyl chain were studied and analysed in regard to physicochemical properties. In this work, the solubility of carbon dioxide in DESs derived from 2-(butylamino)ethanol, 3-aminopropan-1-ol (AP), and 2-(methylamino)ethanol (MAE) was measured. The highest CO2 capacity was found for TEAC:MAE 1:10 DES characterized by the shortest alkyl chain length in both HBA and HBD molecules, the highest amine content, and the lowest viscosity. Additionally, the effect of water addition on carbon dioxide solubility was explored. The results showed that the influence of water on CO2 solubility varies with the type of DES. In general, this work highlighted that DESs can serve as effective media for carbon dioxide capture, and their performance can be tailored by changing the type of hydrogen bond acceptor or donor, their molar ratio and by the addition of water.
