Data processing algorithm of cone-cylinder forgings process based on spectral graph theory and Hungarian matching
Authors: Zhang Yucun , Wang Shijie , Li Qun , Mi Songtao 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a novel data processing algorithm. This
algorithm is used to solve the problem of incomplete and misaligned
of point cloud data due to the complexity of nuclear power
containment cone-cylinder forgings and the limitation of laser
scanner. Based on spectral graph theory and Hungarian matching, this
paper first introduces the lazy random walk, and point cloud state
vector is calculated during the walk to judge the local
information, thereby eliminate the influence of noise. Then,
characteristic edges are extracted using spectral graph
theory. Additionally, the feature descriptors are calculated and the
cost matrix is constructed using the feature descriptors. The
Hungarian algorithm is applied for feature matching, facilitating a
coarse registration of the point clouds. Finally, the improved
point-to-plane iteration closest point is used for fine registration
to ensure accurate alignment between point clouds. The experimental
results demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness in the
registration of point clouds for nuclear power containment
cone-cylinder forgings.
A grafting approach for nisin-chitosan bio-based antibacterial films: preparation and characterization
Authors: Mujtaba Ayse Gunyakti , Toprak Özge , Karakeçili Ayşe 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Nisin is a bacteriocin produced by Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium, Lactococcus lactis and currently recognized in the Generally Recognızed as Safe (GRAS) category due to its non-toxicity. Herein, nisin has been grafted to chitosan structure to obtain natural bio-active films with enhanced antibacterial activity. Grafting was performed using ethyl ester lysine diisocyanate and dimer fatty acid-based diisocyanate (DDI); two different close to fully bio-based diisocyanates and Disuccinimidyl suberate; a homo-bifunctional molecule acting as a crosslinker between amino groups. The grafting process allowed the chemical immobilization of nisin to chitosan structure. Physicochemical characterization studies showed the successful grafting of nisin. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was evident for all nisin modified chitosan films and best pronounced when DDI was used as a crosslinker with a maximum zone of inhibition of ∼13 mm. All nisin grafted chitosan films were cytocompatible and the cell viability of L929 fibroblasts were >80% pointing out the non-toxic structure. Considering the results of the presented study, bio-based diisocyanates and homo-bifunctional crosslinkers are effective molecules in synthesis of nisin grafted chitosan structures and the new chitosan based antibacterial biopolymers obtained after nisin modification come forward as promising non-toxic and bioactive candidates to be applied in medical devices, implants, and various food coating products.

Authors: Filho Fernando S , Fernández Noa C E , Fiore Carlos E , Wijns B , Cleuren B 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Sequential (or collisional) engines have been put forward as an alternative candidate for the realisation of reliable engine setups. Despite this, the role of the different stages and the influence of the intermediate reservoirs is not well understood. We introduce the idea of conveniently adjusting/choosing intermediate reservoirs at engine devices as a strategy for optimizing its performance. This is done by considering a minimal model composed of a quantum-dot machine sequentially exposed to various reservoirs at each stage, and for which thermodynamic quantities (including power and efficiency) can be obtained exactly from the framework of stochastic thermodynamics, irrespective the number of stages. Results show that a significant gain can be obtained by increasing the number of stages and conveniently choosing their parameters.

Abstract
A series of earthquakes occurred on Bali Island, Indonesia, on December 13, 2022. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) recorded four shallow earthquakes around Karangasem - Bali with magnitude (M) > 4 at that time. The largest was the M 5.2 earthquake, which occurred at 10:38:21.67 UTC with 10 km of depth. We analyzed the anomalous geomagnetic activities during these earthquakes by utilizing the geomagnetic data from the Bayan geomagnetic station located on Lombok Island, less than 100 km from the earthquake’s epicenters. We conducted the polarization ratio analysis by applying the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the five hours of night geomagnetic data (16:00 - 21:00 UTC). The spectral power values of X, Y, and Z geomagnetic data at frequencies 0.04 - 0.06 Hz were calculated and compared with the disturbance storm time (Dst) to find their correlation. The Pearson correlation analysis indicates that they are significantly uncorrelated. Finally, we calculated the Sz/Sg to analyze the geomagnetic anomalies and found them 6 - 11 days before the earthquakes at frequencies 0.04 - 0.06 Hz. We consider that these anomalies are possibly caused by the M 5.2 earthquake since it had the highest magnitude, Es, and Kls values.
Study of groundwater flow patterns in landslide prone areas using the Self Potential Method
Authors: Santoso Budy , Hendarmawan  , Rosandi Yudi 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe mapping of water content at a landslide sensitive area is important in order to identify the potency of ground motion. In such an area a minuscule amount of movement may lead to a catastrophic event. Water, which may act as a precursor of ground motion, changes the mechanical properties of the land, hence, changing the ability of the ground to resist gravitational force. In order to identify the water containment, as well as the flow of groundwater, we apply a geophysical method, namely the Self Potential (SP) measurement. Based on the analysis of Darcy’s law the measurement result is related directly to the flow velocity. Although the measurement was performed on top of soil, the measured quantity is a response due to the amount of water infiltration into the soil. The mapped profile of the measurement identifies the flow pattern of groundwater. The result can be used to estimate the soil instability and the potency of landslide events. Our data shows the distribution of the groundwater in the observed area, which can be used as a hint to design the drainage system, in order to divert water from the landslide prone areas. The main goal of this work is to minimize the risk to the community by preventing groundwater flow from targeting inhabited regions, thus ensuring the safety of the residents.
Origin of Groundwater in Kawung Carang Cold Spring, Sumbang District, Banyumas Regency, Central Java
Authors: An Nisaa Fania , Prakasa Eka Putra Doni 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The occurrence of several springs around Slamet Volcano raised questions regarding their origin. Many studies have been conducted to understand the origin of hot spring water around Slamet Volcano. Meanwhile, there has not been any research on the origin and hydrogeological system of cold spring water around Slamet Volcano. Kawung Carang Spring is one of cold spring water that occurs on the southern flank of Slamet Volcano. It is situated in a quaternary volcanic deposit of Mt. Slamet formation. Field observation was conducted to identify local geological conditions and hydrogeological systems in the research area. Isotopic analysis was performed to help understand how to delineate the recharge area. This study used a physical-chemical analysis of Kawung Carang cold spring water and the ratio of deuterium (2H) and 18O stable isotopes to interpret its groundwater origin. The results of the analysis informed that the origin of Kawung Carang spring water was local meteoric water. The hydrogeological system was an unconfined aquifer that consisted of a lahar deposit on the top of a volcanic breccia layer. The physical-chemical characteristic of groundwater around the Kawung Carang cold spring shows low electric conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) values. EC and TDS values of groundwater vary from 92 to 253 µS/cm and 46 to 126 mg/L indicating that groundwater has a short time in water-rock interaction process and comes from shallow depth aquifer. Furthermore, the signature of stable isotopes of δ18O and δ2H shows the elevation of the Kawung Carang cold spring recharge area ranges from 386.08 to 441.37 meters above sea level in the northwestern part of the research area.
Digital Fracture Porosity Measurement using Digital Outcrop Modelling (DOM)
Authors: Cahya Fardana Yugi , Setianto Agung , Husein Salahuddin 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Fracture measurements for porosity calculations often experience problems such as barely accessible locations, limited area coverage, and a long time to carry out field data measurements. Therefore, refined alternative methods are necessary to obtain the most favourable data. This study demonstrates fracture measurements through application of Digital Outcrop Modelling (DOM) using the Structure from Motion (SfM) method to utilize digital photogrammetry techniques. This method was chosen because data collection can be done remotely using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) or digital photogrammetry to obtain point cloud data that is used to perform three-dimensional outcrop modeling. In addition, SfM also produces high-resolution data without the need for experts, is cost-efficient and safer than other methods. Hand-held platform Canon 700D digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera was used in this study to capture data from an area of a square meter located on the riverbed that requires detailed modeling. DOM using SfM is applied to conduct aperture measurements in fractures inside the scan window, later used as data for calculating basement fracture porosity predictions. Field data collection is also carried out to validate data generated by DOM. Calculations achieved from field data and DOM data will be compared to determine differences of the porosity prediction values. Field data collection was carried out on 3 scan windows, each one is an area of 1 m2 and in totals obtained 117 fracture data, consist of 44 extension joints, 34 release joints, 7 shear joints, and 32 non-systematic joints. In this study, 115 photos were taken from scanwindow 1, 162 photos from scanwindow 2, and 158 photos from scanwindow 3 to construct the DOM using agisoft metashape software. The difference in these values can be used as a correction formula or evaluation for further research. The results of measuring basement fracture porosity using data generated by DOM will remain in the range of less than 1%.
Women and Philosophy of Art in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Authors: Stone Alison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the seven women that this book is about: Anna Barbauld, Joanna Baillie, Harriet Martineau, Anna Jameson, Frances Power Cobbe, Emilia Dilke, and Vernon Lee. Nineteenth-century British print and periodical culture enabled these women to publish influential and authoritative accounts of art despite certain sexist restrictions that they faced. They focused above all on art’s relations with morality and religion, but also tackled other philosophical questions regarding the arts. Like many of their male contemporaries, they produced a kind of philosophy of art which was interdisciplinary and shaded into artistic practice. The chapter then explains the book’s methodology and relation to existing scholarship. Part of the methodology is to reconstruct the intellectual relations amongst these seven women, locating women in relation to their female influences as well as male ones. Finally, the chapter explains the choice to concentrate on these seven women.

Temporal maturation of Sertoli cells during the establishment of the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium
Authors: Havel Shelby L , Griswold Michael D 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Sertoli cells, omnipresent, somatic cells within the seminiferous tubules of the mammalian testis are essential to male fertility. Sertoli cells maintain the integrity of the testicular microenvironment, regulate hormone synthesis, and of particular importance, synthesize the active derivative of vitamin A, all trans retinoic acid (atRA), which is required for germ cell differentiation and the commitment of male germ cells to meiosis. Stages VIII–IX, when atRA synthesis occurs in the testis, coincide with multiple germ cell development and testicular restructuring events that rely on Sertoli cell gene products to proceed normally. In this study, we have synchronized and captured the mouse testis at four recurrent points of atRA synthesis to observe transcriptomic changes within Sertoli cells as mice age and the Sertoli cells are exposed to increasingly developed germ cell subtypes. This work provides comprehensive, high-resolution characterization of the timing of induction of functional Sertoli cell genes across the first wave of spermatogenesis, and outlines in silico predictions of germ cell derived signaling mechanisms targeting Sertoli cells. We have found that Sertoli cells adapt to their environment, especially to the needs of the germ cell populations present and establish germ-Sertoli cell and Sertoli-Sertoli cell junctions early but gain many of their known immune-regulatory and protein secretory functions in preparation for spermiogenesis and spermiation. Additionally, we have found unique patterns of germ-Sertoli signaling present at each endogenous pulse of atRA, suggesting individual functions of the various germ cells in germ-Sertoli communication.

Abstract

Aims
Hypertension is a risk factor for intracranial aneurysm rupture. We analysed whether the intake of drugs from specific classes of anti-hypertensive medications affects haemodynamic parameters of intracranial aneurysm dome.

Methods and results
We recorded medical history including medications and the in-hospital blood pressure values. We then obtained 3D reconstruction of each patients’ aneurysm dome and the feeding artery. Using OpenFOAM software, we performed Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis of blood flow through the modelled structures. Blood was modelled as Newtonian fluid, using the incompressible transient solver. As the inlet boundary condition, we used the patient-specific Internal Carotid Artery blood velocity waves obtained with Doppler ultrasound. We calculated haemodynamic parameters of the aneurysm dome. All presented analyses are cross-sectional. We included 72 patients with a total of 91 unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The history of β-blocker intake significantly influenced haemodynamic parameters of aneurysm dome. The patients on β-blockers had significantly smaller aneurysm domes (5.09 ± 2.11 mm vs. 7.41 ± 5.89 mm; P = 0.03) and did not have aneurysms larger than 10 mm (0% vs. 17.0%; P = 0.01). In the Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis, walls of aneurysms in patients who took β-blockers were characterized by lower Wall Shear Stress Gradient (1.67 ± 1.85 Pa vs. 4.3 ± 6.06 Pa; P = 0.03), Oscillatory Shear Index (0.03 ± 0.02 vs. 0.07 ± 0.10; P = 0.04), and Surface Vortex Fraction (16.2% ± 5.2% vs. 20.0% ± 6.8%; P &lt; 0.01). After controlling for covariates, we demonstrated difference of Surface Vortex Fraction (F[1, 48] = 4.36; P = 0.04) and Oscillatory Shear Index (F[1, 48] = 6.51; P = 0.01) between patients taking and not taking β-blockers, respectively.

Conclusion
Intake of β-blockers might contribute to more favourable haemodynamics inside aneurysmal sac. Other anti-hypertensive medication classes were not associated with differences in intracranial aneurysm parameters.
More on the scoring of Josquin’s Huc me sydereo and the manuscript St Gallen 464
Authors: Kostrzewski Brett 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The motet Huc me sydereo by Josquin des Prez appears in both five- and six-voice versions, having led scholars to debate which version is authentic to the composer’s original conception. The authoritative New Josquin Edition presents the motet in its six-voice version; in the critical commentary, editor Bonnie Blackburn defended it as Josquin’s original. More recently, Joshua Rifkin has demonstrated on stylistic and source-critical grounds that the five-voice version was original, with a sixth voice having been added later. In this article, I present new findings on the manuscript St Gallen 464, an important early source for Huc me sydereo, which reinforce arguments defending the authenticity of the five-voice version. I show that the origin of the sixth voice can be isolated to a trio of sources produced on the Italian peninsula in the 1510s, all but eliminating Josquin as a candidate as its author. Moreover, through a new identification of the original scribe and owner of St Gallen 464, I shed new light on that manuscript’s date and provenance. In so doing, I demonstrate how the study of musical sources and transmission can carry direct importance for essential performance decisions.
Influence of furfural on the physiology of Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1
Authors: Arteaga José Eduardo , Rivera-Becerril Ernesto , Le Borgne Sylvie , Sigala Juan-Carlos 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass produces growth inhibitory substances such as furfural which is toxic to microorganisms. Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 cannot use furfural as a carbon source, instead it biotransforms this compound into difurfuryl ether using the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent dehydrogenases AreB and FrmA during aerobic acetate catabolism. However, NADH consumption for furfural biotransformation compromises aerobic growth of A. baylyi ADP1. Depending on the growth phase, several genes related to acetate catabolism and oxidative phosphorylation changed their expression indicating that central metabolic pathways were affected by the presence of furfural. During the exponential growth phase, reactions involved in the formation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) (icd gene) and NADH (sfcA gene) were preferred when furfural was present. Therefore a higher NADH and NADPH production might support furfural biotransformation and biomass production, respectively. In contrast, in the stationary growth phase genes of the glyoxylate shunt were overexpressed probably to save carbon compounds for biomass formation, and only NADH regeneration was appreciated. Finally, disruption of the frmA or areB gene in A. baylyi ADP1 led to a decrease in growth adaptation and in the capacity to biotransform furfural. The characterization of this physiological behavior clarifies the impact of furfural in Acinetobacter metabolism.
A new perspective on the performance comparison of pure electric buses versus converted electric buses in public transportation systems
Authors: Topal Orhan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The utilization of electric buses presents a viable solution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the concomitant decrease in fossil fuel consumption. Furthermore, their low-noise operation has the additional benefit of reducing noise pollution, which is a particular issue in large urban areas. This constitutes a significant advantage for public transport systems. Additionally, they provide cost savings in operations and maintenance, which represent a substantial proportion of expenditure for public transport operators. However, the initial purchase cost of electric buses is higher than that of conventional buses (diesel and CNG). This discrepancy can be attributed primarily to the absence of economies of scale in the manufacturing of electric bus subsystems and the substantial expenses associated with non-standardized, disparate technologies, most notably the high-voltage traction battery. The considerable disparity in the upfront cost of electric buses (in comparison to their internal combustion counterparts of equivalent specifications) has prompted a novel strategy among local authorities responsible for the provision of public transportation services: Retrofit! This paper presents, for the first time, a comparison between all-electric buses constructed from the ground up and retrofitted diesel-electric buses in actual public transportation operations. The results obtained will facilitate an evaluation of the retrofit approach within the context of sustainable transport policies, with the ultimate objective of raising awareness among relevant audiences and decision-making mechanisms.
