Receding horizon control for persistent monitoring tasks with monitoring count requirements
Authors: Zhao Xiaohu , Zou Yuanyuan , Li Shaoyuan 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis article presents a reachability‐based receding horizon control (RHC) method for addressing persistent monitoring problems with count requirements. An agent is assigned to monitor multiple targets in a given environment to minimize the average uncertainty metric of all targets, while ensuring the monitoring count requirements of specific targets within predetermined time windows. To account for the spatial and temporal constraints in the monitoring requirements, a persistence predicate within the signal temporal logic (STL) specifications is introduced, which incorporates cumulative target state signals to effectively describe the monitoring count constraints. Considering the complexities arising from global time domain information requirements in STL constraints validation, an STL formula segmentation method based on completion progress is proposed. Subsequently, a reachability‐based controller for the agent is developed by solving a short‐term RHC problem while ensuring the satisfaction of the STL formulae. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the performance of proposed method.
Improving unsupervised pedestrian re‐identification with enhanced feature representation and robust clustering
Authors: Luo Jiang , Liu Lingjun 
Published: August 2024

AbstractPedestrian re‐identification (re‐ID) is an important research direction in computer vision, with extensive applications in pattern recognition and monitoring systems. Due to uneven data distribution, and the need to solve clustering standards and similarity evaluation problems, the performance of unsupervised methods is limited. To address these issues, an improved unsupervised re‐ID method, called Enhanced Feature Representation and Robust Clustering (EFRRC), which combines EFRRC is proposed. First, a relation network that considers the relations between each part of the pedestrian's body and other parts is introduced, thereby obtaining more discriminative feature representations. The network makes the feature at the single‐part level also contain partial information of other body parts, making it more discriminative. A global contrastive pooling (GCP) module is introduced to obtain the global features of the image. Second, a dispersion‐based clustering method, which can effectively evaluate the quality of clustering and discover potential patterns in the data is designed. This approach considers a wider context of sample‐level pairwise relationships for robust cluster affinity assessment. It effectively addresses challenges posed by imbalanced data distributions in complex situations. The above structures are connected through a clustering contrastive learning framework, which not only improves the discriminative power of features and the accuracy of clustering, but also solves the problem of inconsistent clustering updates. Experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method over existing unsupervised re‐ID methods.

Published: August 2024

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie posttraumatische Belastungsstörung geht mit starken Beeinträchtigungen und erheblichem Leid für die Betroffenen sowie ökonomischen Folgen für das Individuum und die Gesellschaft einher. Zu den wirksamsten erforschten Behandlungsmethoden zählen die traumafokussierte kognitive Verhaltenstherapie und die Eye-Movement-Desensitization-and-Reprocessing(EMDR)-Technik. Trotz vieler Wirksamkeitsstudien gibt es wenige wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zu den zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen der alternierenden bilateralen Stimulation (ABS), auf denen die EMDR-Methode basiert. Die folgende Arbeit bietet eine Übersicht der Studien, welche die Effekte von EMDR auf neuroanatomische Strukturen, funktionelle Aktivität und Konnektivität, EEG-Aufzeichnungen, Ruhemessungen sowie auf physiologische Marker wie Hautleitfähigkeit und EKG untersuchten. Die Ergebnisse aus Prä-post-Messungen unterstützen die allgemeinen neurokognitiven Annahmen einer Top-down-Zunahme als positiven Wirkmechanismus von EMDR. Die spezifischen Wirkmechanismen der ABS auf neuronaler Ebene bleiben jedoch unklar und weitere Untersuchungen mit größeren Stichproben von PTBS-Patienten sind notwendig, um ein besseres Verständnis der ABS zu erlangen.
Verkörperte Begriffe
Authors: Kiefer Markus 
Published: August 2024

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGIm Langzeitgedächtnis gespeicherte Begriffe sind die Grundbausteine des Denkens, da sie die Bedeutung von Objekten, Ereignissen und abstrakten Ideen konstituieren. Theorien der verkörperten Kognition gehen davon aus, dass Begriffe im Wesentlichen auf die Reaktivierung von sinnlichen Gedächtnisspuren im Zusammenhang mit Wahrnehmung, Handlung und Introspektion in modalen Arealen des Gehirns beruhen. Dieser Artikel gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die neueste Forschung zur Verkörperung des Gedächtnisses für konkrete und abstrakte Begriffe. Die beschriebenen Befunde zeigen, dass selbst abstrakte Begriffe wie „Konditionierung“ oder „Verlangen“ auf Aktivität in modalen, erfahrungsbasierten neuronalen Systemen beruhen und nicht abstrakt-symbolisch abgespeichert sind. Eine an der Theorie der verkörperten Kognition orientierte neurowissenschaftliche Forschung an Patienten mit psychischen Erkrankungen könnte spannende Einblicke in eine möglicherweise veränderte funktionelle Neuroanatomie der Begriffsrepräsentation und deren therapieinduzierte Plastizität geben.

Authors: Raasveld Floris V. , Hoftiezer Yannick Albert J. , Gomez-Eslava Barbara , McCarty Justin , Valerio Ian L. , Heng Marilyn , Eberlin Kyle R. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is an effective surgical treatment of neuropathic pain for amputees. However, limited data exist regarding the early postoperative pain course for patients who undergo either primary (<14 days since amputation) or secondary (≥14 days) TMR. This study aims to outline the postoperative pain course for primary and secondary TMR during the first 6 postoperative months to aid in patient education and expectation management.
Methods Patients were eligible if they underwent TMR surgery between 2017 and 2023. Prospectively collected patient-reported outcome measures of pain scores, Pain Interference, and Pain Intensity were analyzed. Multilevel mixed-effects models were utilized to visualize and compare pain courses between primary and secondary TMR patients.
Results A total of 203 amputees were included, with 40.9% being primary and 59.1% being secondary TMR patients. Primary TMR patients reported significantly lower pain scores over the full 6-month postoperative trajectory (p < 0.001) compared with secondary TMR patients, with a difference of Δ −1.0 at the day of TMR (primary = 4.5, secondary = 5.5), and a difference of Δ −1.4 at the 6-month mark (primary = 3.6, secondary = 5.0). Primary TMR patients also reported significantly lower Pain Interference (p < 0.001) and Pain Intensity scores (p < 0.001) over the complete trajectory of their care.
Conclusion Primary TMR patients report lower pain during the first 6 months postoperatively compared with secondary TMR patients. This may reflect how pre-existing neuropathic pain is more challenging to mitigate through peripheral nerve surgery. The current trends may assist in both understanding the postoperative pain course and managing patient expectations following TMR.

The Usefulness of Fluorescence Imaging in Laparoscopic Liver Resection
Authors: Chalokool Vachiraluck , Taesombat Wipusit 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIndocyanine green (ICG) has been used extensively in medical applications after being approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1954. In the beginning, this substance was originally employed for evaluating cardiac output and quantifying liver function. The widespread acceptance of the technique was delayed until the early 2000s, when advancements in digital imaging resolution provided more satisfactory images compared with those of film-based photography. ICG-based fluorescence imaging has since been used in various aspects of liver surgery. In 2008, Aoki et al first reported an intraoperative technique for subsegmental and segmental fluorescent staining during open hepatectomy, achieving a success rate of 93% in identifying the anatomical plane. At about the same time, laparoscopic liver resections (LLRs) were increasingly used for liver malignancies but were still in a developmental phase with yet to be standardized surgical protocols. Combined ICG fluorescence imaging in LLR has since been developed to improve the quality and precision of anatomical liver resections. This article is a case presentation and review of the clinical applications of ICG fluorescence imaging in liver surgery.
Presenting manuscript tables and diagrams to the Middle English reader

Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we examine information-organising graphic devices such as tables and diagrams in Middle English
manuscripts. Our focus is on text producers’ metadiscourse describing these devices and instructing the reader in their use. We
also pay attention to the visual and spatial relationship between the graphic device and the surrounding text. Our findings
indicate that the metadiscourse associated with graphic devices serves similar functions to image captions (verbal cueing) in
modern textbooks: identifying and describing the devices and instructing the reader in using them.
The hcp–bcc transition of Be via anisotropy of modulus and sound velocity

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Based on ab initio calculations, we utilize the mean-field potential approach with the quantum modification in conjunction with stress–strain relation to investigate the elastic anisotropies and sound velocities of hcp and bcc Be under high-temperature (0–6000 K) and high-pressure (0–500 GPa) conditions. We propose a general definition of anisotropy for elastic moduli and sound velocities. Results suggest that the elastic anisotropy of Be is more significantly influenced by pressure than by temperature. The pressure-induced increase of c/a ratio makes the anisotropy of hcp Be significantly strengthen. Nevertheless, the hcp Be still exhibits smaller anisotropy than bcc Be in terms of elastic moduli and sound velocities. We suggest that measuring the anisotropy in shear sound velocity may be an approach to distinguishing the hcp–bcc phase transition under extreme conditions.
Is dark energy necessary for the sustainability of traversable wormholes?*
Authors: Banerjee Ayan , Hansraj Sudan , Pradhan Anirudh , Errehymy Abdelghani 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Dark energy is typically the principal component needed for the traversability of wormholes (WH), as it provides the negative gravity effect required to keep the throat open. However, can this be achieved without dark energy? It turns out that if we couple the trace of energy-momentum with the standard Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian and utilize a specific equation of state (EoS), dark energy may be obviated. The Casimir stress energy is known to result in the violation of the null energy condition (NEC) on the energy momentum tensor. This phenomenon makes such an EoS an ideal candidate for generating traversable WH geometries. The laboratory proven phenomenon provides a natural mechanism to sustain an open WH throat without relying on dark energy. Therefore, we generate two classes of WH solutions using this in energy-momentum trace-coupling gravity. For the specific choice of the Casimir EoS relating the energy-momentum tensor components [Kar and Sahdev: Phys. Rev. D 52, 2030 (1995)] and different choices of redshift functions, we determine the WH geometry completely. The obtained WH solutions violate the NECs, and all qualitative constraints demanded for physically realizable WHs are satisfied. This is demonstrated via graphical plots for a suitably chosen range of coupling parameter values. Furthermore, our study investigates the repulsive effect of gravity, revealing that its presence leads to a negative deflection angle for photons traveling along null geodesics. Notably, we observe a consistent pattern of negative values for the deflection angle across all values of

in the three scenarios considered, thus indicating the clear manifestation of the repulsive gravity effect. All of this is possible without invoking the existence of dark energy.
Stress corrosion cracking behaviors of carbon steel in liquid ammonia
Authors: Chao Zhang , Huan Huang , Li Xiao , Fan Yang , Yuqi Zhang , Jie Liu 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
As a carbon-free hydrogen-rich energy carrier, ammonia has gained increasing attention and application in the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. This study evaluated the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) sensitivity of four target materials, A516-70, 16MnDR, 15MnNiDR, and Q370DR, in a liquid ammonia environment at 25 °C and 1.03 MPa by slow stress rate tests to determine their SCC sensitivity index. The microstructure, grain size, misorientation, hardness, strength, and micro-fracture morphology of these materials were compared to analyze the SCC mechanism. The results showed that 15MnNiDR exhibited significant SCC sensitivity while both 16MnDR and A516-70 demonstrated certain levels of SCC sensitivity in liquid ammonia. However, Q370DR showed no SCC sensitivity under these conditions. The misorientations observed align with the strains experienced by each respective carbon steel in liquid ammonia. An unstable passivation film formed on the surface of 15MnNiDR steel when exposed to liquid ammonia whereas Q370DR developed a stable oxide film which contributed to its weak SCC sensitivity.
Microwave absorption properties of Co/C and Ni/C composite nanofibers prepared by electrospinning
Authors: Zhang Sa , Xiong Chao , Yin Junhui , Sun Haitao , Qi Ziyuan , Deng Huiyong , Cui Kaibo 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Carbon nanofibers with Co, Ni nanoparticle were synthesized by a two-step process involving electrospinning and heat treatment. Their phase composition, microstructure, elemental composition and electromagnetic characteristics were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and vector network analyzer (VNA). The microwave absorption performance of these carbon nanofibers was also studied. The results indicate that these composite nanofibers are intact and consist of amorphous carbon and face-centered cubic structured magnetic metals. The resultant metal nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed along carbon-based nanofibers which enhance the synergistic and interfacial effects between magnetic loss and dielectric loss. When the thicknesses of the absorbers are 1.5 mm, the absorption bandwidths (RL ≤ −10 dB) are approximately 4 GHz and 2.5 GHz for the Co/C, Ni/C composite nanofibers, respectively, which are obviously superior to pure carbon nanofibers. Co/C composite nanofibers exhibit a wider absorption band range and stronger microwave absorption intensity compared to Ni/C composite nanofibers, attributed to their excellent electromagnetic impedance matching and attenuation characteristics. This indicates that the Co/C composite nanofibers are promising candidates for novel microwave absorbing materials.
Gait planning based on bionic quadruped robot
Authors: Liu Zhao , Huang Zhe , Cui Yuanhui 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Based on the ankylosaurus, a four-legged robot structure with 14 degrees of freedom was designed in this study. The kinematic model was established using the Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) method. The inverse kinematics of the robot was analyzed, and the angle equations of each leg joint were obtained. In order to reduce the kinetic energy generated when leaving the ground and landing, the compound cycloid was modified. The modified foot curve effectively reduces energy and meets the kinematic requirements. On the basis of the foot trajectory, the diagonal leg phase difference was set to 0.5, and the diagonal gait was adopted as the gait of the bionic quadrupled robot. Simulink software was used to construct the simulation environment, and the maximum error of the simulation results and the theoretical step height was 2.05%, and the step length maximum error was 2.39%. During walking, the thigh joint angle was −92.82° to −80.21°, and the hip joint angle was 22.23° to 43.83°. Compared with the simulation trajectory and the theoretical curve, because the experiment did not consider the balance of the fuselage, there was a certain error when the leg was raised to the highest point. Overall, the gait planning strategy designed in this study basically achieves the expected effect, lays a certain foundation for the practical application of the bionic quadruped dinosaur robot, and also provides a reference for the subsequent research.

Anglophone Analytical Legal Philosophy Reply to Schiavello
Authors: Leiter Brian 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This essay examines Anglophone analytical legal philosophy in comparison to Professor Aldo Schiavello’s account of Italian (and also, more broadly, non-Anglophone) analytical legal philosophy (in the same volume). The focus, in particular, is on legal positivism in HLA Hart, Norberto Bobbio, and Alf Ross, and some of their striking shared commitments, especially to methodological positivism (the idea that general jurisprudence can describe what the law is, without taking any position on what it ought to be). Methodological positivism is defended against a variety of objections raised by Schiavello.
The Systematisation of Legal Norms
Authors: Halpin Andrew 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The focus of Pablo Navarro and Jorge Rodríguez on an idea of normative relevance is shown to be strongly connected to their promotion of the possibility of the systematisation of legal norms through the resources of deontic logic. Three strands of scepticism are brought to bear upon this prospect. A historical reference to common-law thinking as voiced by Sir Edward Coke raises preliminary doubts. A practical analysis of the disposition of particular cases undermines their model which depends on a deductive process from a ‘relevant’ factor found in a legal norm. A key distinction between legal materials and legal norms is introduced, and through careful consideration of three cases it is suggested that the judicial response to legal materials may (sometimes) be deliberative rather than deductive. A technical assessment of the authors’ approach is centred on the question of what amounts to an appropriate logic for systematising law. A severe restriction on the assumed scope of deontic logic is proposed, drawing on Bentham’s logic of imperation. The conventional acceptance of a logic of norm-propositions as providing a valuable part of deontic logic is questioned, through interrogating the ambiguity of the notion of norm-proposition across four different statements. And finally, the authors’ idea of normative relevance is shown to be artificially restricted so as to avoid acknowledging the presence of contestability within the factors taken to be relevant for a particular legal system. Admitting such contestability is viewed as radically changing the theoretical landscape, but not along civilian and common-law lines.
Gap-Filling as Law-Making in Common Law and Civil Law Traditions
Authors: Schauer Frederick 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This essay addresses the question of gaps and contradictions (antinomies) in the law, and more particularly against the background of Pierluigi Chiassoni and Carla Huerta’s essay analysing how these phenomena are treated in civil law jurisdictions. As I will explain, there are interesting and important differences between how gaps and contradictions, and especially the latter, are respectively treated in the civil law and common law worlds. Yet from a comparative perspective, perhaps the most significant thing about the treatment of gaps and contradictions in the civil and common law worlds respectively is that both phenomena are rightfully treated as interesting and important in the civil law world, and too often mistakenly treated as uninteresting and unimportant in the common law world. Examining why this is so may reveal intriguing differences between the common law and civil law mindsets. Doing so is the principal goal of this essay.
Constitutional Democracy
Authors: Waluchow Wil J 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The constitutions of modern democracies tend to include norms that limit the various government powers they create. Often these take the form of constitutional rights provisions the violation of which can result in significant consequences, eg the nullification or invalidation of a state measure such as an Act of Parliament. This feature of modern democratic constitutions raises a host of normative questions with which scholars in common law jurisdictions have long grappled and which serve as the main focus of this chapter. How are these morally charged constitutional rights provisions to be interpreted? Whose interpretations should be considered authoritative and/or final in cases of dispute? Can the inclusion of constitutional rights provisions, interpreted and enforced by judges, be reconciled with the fundamental tenets of democracy? If it can, are there particular institutional structures and modes of interpretation that must be put in place before this can be true? Do the answers to these questions depend on one’s conception of democracy? And what role, if any, do precedent, tradition, doctrine, and convention play in the life of a democratic constitution?
