Authors: Singh Priyesh Kumar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Aim The aim of the present study was assess the perceptual sensitivity of psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES) patients. Secondarily, we also aimed to replicate previous findings and explore whether PNES patients exhibit tendencies of preattentiveness in response to unpleasant stimulus.
Method A total of 56 individuals were selected for the present research, from which 28 were PNES patients and 28 healthy individuals. A 2 × 3 design was used for the present study. The emotional-N-back paradigm was used for presenting stimuli. Perceptual sensitivity (d') was calculated on the basis of hits and false positives.
Result The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant distinction between PNES and healthy individuals on perceptual sensitivity (d') measure (F(1, 50) = 19.11, p = 0.000). Similarly, result of ANOVA (F(2, 100) = 63.64, p = 0.000) for within-group valence showed a significant difference between pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral stimuli among PNES and healthy individuals ensuring a clear distinction between them.
Conclusion These findings suggest a notable disparity in perceptual sensitivity between PNES and healthy individuals, supporting the notion that individual with PNES experience emotional disturbance and possess a dysfunctional cognitive-affective system. Moreover, the result lends credence to the hypothesis that PNES patients are more responsive to unpleasant emotions than to pleasant or neutral ones.
SeLECTS—Self-Limiting Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes: Presence of ESES Correlates with Neuropsychological Regression

Published: February 2025

AbstractWe present a developmentally normal 8-year-old male child with infrequent nocturnal focal seizures since 6 years of age. Since the onset of seizures, he has been having poor academic performance with difficulty in learning and preserved language. Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed a normal background and frequent bisynchronous biphasic centro-parieto-temporal large amplitude spikes with maximum negativity over the left temporal region. His sleep record showed continuous runs of large amplitude generalized spikes with maximum negativity over the centrotemporal region and spike-wave index > 90. There is a clear correlation between the presence of electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES) and neuropsychological deficits. EEG is resistant to antiseizure medications, and these findings disappear before mid to late adolescence, and deficits recede with the remission of ESES.

Abstract
Introduction Noninvasive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has introduced innovative blood- and stool-based biomarkers, improving early detection and enabling personalized solutions. Global and Indian adoption of CRC screening remains a public health challenge. This study evaluates the real-world utility of screening colonoscopy, as recommended by global guidelines.
Methodology A survey based on the American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines was designed, setting 45+ years as the cutoff age for colonoscopy screening. A Google form was shared via social media application with health care professionals. Participation was voluntary, responses were collected over 30 days, and data were analyzed.
Results A total of 2,199 individuals' data were analyzed. Among these, 1,374 were eligible for screening colonoscopy, out of which only 7.14% (98/1,374) actually underwent the procedure.
Conclusion Among various cancer programs, screening sigmoidoscopy has proved to improve both CRC-specific mortality and all-cause mortality. Unfortunately, its utilization is suboptimal, at best. Even among the highly educated medical community, the real-world utility was only in 7.14% of the eligible population. Barriers include invasive nature of intervention, need for appropriate bowel preparation, operator dependence, and small but significant risk of serious toxicity. An important method of increasing utility of screening colonoscopy is use of a test that can identify high-risk population, who can then be persuaded to undergo screening colonoscopy. This is the value of recently developed noninvasive blood- and stool-based tests, like Guardant Health's Shield. Being U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved with specificity of 90% and sensitivity of 84%, it should be offered to all eligible persons who can afford it, thereby increasing colonoscopy use and potentially saving lives.

Abstract
Cross-modal retrieval is crucial for improving clinical decision-making and report generation. However, current technologies mainly focus on linking single images with reports, ignoring the need to comprehensively observe multiple images in real clinical environments. Additionally, differences in imaging equipment, scanning parameters, geographic regions, and reporting styles in chest x-rays and reports cause inconsistent data distributions, which challenge model reliability and generalization. To address these challenges, we propose a study-level cross-modal retrieval task for chest x-rays and reports to better meet clinical needs. Our study-level approach involves cross-modal retrieval between multiple images and reports from patient exams. Given a set of study-level images or reports, our method retrieves relevant reports or images from a database, providing a more realistic reflection of clinical scenarios compared to traditional methods that link single images with reports. Furthermore, we introduce an adapter-based pre-training and fine-tuning method to enhance model generalization across diverse data distributions. Through comprehensive experiments, we demonstrate the advantages of our method in pre-training and fine-tuning. In the pre-training stage, we compare our method with the latest techniques, showing the effectiveness of integrating study-level image features using a vision transformer and aligning them with report features. In the fine-tuning stage, we compare the adapter-based fine-tuning method with the latest methods of full-parameter fine-tuning and conduct ablation studies with common head-based and full-parameter fine-tuning methods, proving our method’s efficiency and significant potential for practical clinical applications. This study proposes a study-level cross-modal retrieval task for matching chest x-ray images and reports. By employing a pre-training and fine-tuning strategy with adapter modules, it addresses the issue of data distribution inconsistency and improves retrieval performance.

Abstract
In this paper, we systematically investigate the α decay half-lives of 263 emitters in the 52 ≤ Z ≤ 107 region and clusters: 14C, 20O, 23Fe, 24;25;26Ne, 28;30Mg and 32;34Si in the presence of an extended form of the Sextic potential to describe the strong nuclear interaction between the daughter nucleus and the cluster in the parent nucleus using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method.&#xD; We find nuclear potential parameters that explain the decay mechanism for each variety of cluster and show that this form of double-well potential provides an excellent description of the nuclear decay phenomenon. We highlight constraints between the potential parameters and the experimental data. Moreover, we emphasize in the importance of the coupling parameters of the nuclear potential in the nature of the preformed cluster. The results obtained are compared with experimental and literature data. Our results are in very good agreement with the experimental data.&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;
High-performance computing methods for designing an effective plate-fin pre-cooler
Authors: Li Rui , Zhao Changyin , Guo Jingfang , Zhang Shunv , Qi Heng , Ning Xin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The pre-cooler as a critical component in aero-engines, is designed to rapidly cool high-temperature gases. Its internal fluid flow is inhomogeneous, influenced by thermal boundary layers, which results in a significant discrepancy between calculated and measured values. To bridge the gap between theoretical predictions and actual measurements, a new computational method for evaluating the flow and cooling effect of plate-fin pre-coolers has been developed, extending the approach used for plate-fin heat exchangers. This method takes into account the pre-cooler’s outlet temperature and heat transfer efficiency and introduces a turbulence section at the outlet of the high-temperature gas. The proposed method shows discrepancies between calculated and tested hot side outlet temperatures, ranging from 3.98% to 5.21% (average 4.63%), and for cold side outlet temperatures, the range is 1.32% to 3% (average 2.32%). The discrepancy for the hot side turbulence section compared to the unaugmented pre-cooler section is between 2.66% and 6.34% (average 4.62%). This computational evaluation method not only validates its own reliability but also provides a rapid means to assess the performance of plate-fin pre-coolers.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the existing CFD computation program, the non-inertial reference frame method is used to achieve quasi-steady numerical calculations for special motions such as quasi-steady climbing and level flight at constant altitudes. Using the SDM model as an example, the non-inertial frame method is applied to calculate damping dynamic derivatives. The results gained by using the non-inertial frame method for the calculation of dynamic derivatives match well with the data from the wind tunnel test, reference results, and other numerical results. The non-inertial frame method can reduce the computation time and enhance efficiency.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Correction fuses have been widely used in the information battlefield in recent years due to their advantages of low cost, convenient replacement, and high cost-effectiveness. The high rotation projectile equipped with a correction fuse has complex angular motion due to its rotational stability characteristics during correction. In response to more complicated situations such as marine weather, ocean currents, tides, etc., in maritime combat environments, the correction capability is limited, and the atmospheric environment interference is limited, especially in terms of the longitudinal guidance and control accuracy of the projectile, which is reduced. Aiming at the limitations of traditional guidance and control methods for trajectory correction fuses in actual shooting, this paper analyzes the angular motion law of the correction fuse and proposes an optimized guidance and control strategy based on neural networks. The LSTM algorithm is used to generate a dataset, estimate the longitudinal shooting error under different meteorological environments, and predict and plan the control instructions to improve the guidance accuracy of the trajectory correction fuse.

Abstract
Aiming at the problem of target position determination through multi-missile collaboration, algorithm research on target position estimation was carried out based on the line of sight angle and missile target distance measured by the guidance head. Finally, the “current” model and uniform acceleration model were used as the target motion models, and an interactive multi-model filter was constructed based on the square root Cubature Kalman filter algorithm to achieve position estimation of the target from serpentine maneuver to uniform motion. We have improved the calculation method for the transition probabilities of various models in interactive multi models, adaptively adjusting the transition probabilities based on the model probabilities and designing an adjustment algorithm. Digital simulations have shown that the proposed adaptive interactive multi-model algorithm can effectively estimate the position of complex maneuvering targets and improve the recognition probability and estimation accuracy of the model.
Fire deformation calculation and test results analysis of aircraft pylon component-level seals
Authors: Li Xiaonan , Guo Junxian , Huang Zhi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
There are some interfaces between the pylon and the engine/nacelle in the connection interface. At the same time, due to some relative motion between the engine/nacelle and the pylon, it is necessary to arrange some silicone rubber seals between the engine/nacelle and the pylon to realize the sealing design. Since a large number of areas of the engine/nacelle belong to the fire area, a silicone rubber seal with a fire-proof function needs to be designed between the suspension and the engine/nacelle to ensure the fire-proof seal design. For the fire-proof seals using silicone rubber parts, according to the amendments and advisory notices of the airworthiness authorities, it is not only necessary to meet the requirements of the part-level fire-proof verification test but also to meet the requirements of the component-level fire-proof test in combination with the specific installation environment. In this paper, the design of component-level R & D test pieces for seals that simulate the real environment of aircraft is carried out. The deformation analysis of component-level test pieces is carried out in combination with the analysis of the temperature field. And it needs to be verified by fire test according to the requirements. This paper provides a set of solutions for the fire test of component-level seals, which is of great guiding significance to the airworthiness verification of component-level fire seals for civil aircraft.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
CrCoNi Medium Entropy Alloy’s superior tensile strength and ductility make it promising for engineering structures. Yet, its welding research is in its infancy, limiting its use. This study used Electron Beam Welding to join CrCoNi MEA and GH3536 superalloy for the first time. Through finite element modeling and experimental validation, we predicted temperature profiles, weld morphology, and residual stress distributions, which are crucial for understanding the mechanical behavior of the welded joints. The joints showed a tensile strength of 555 MPa and 18.5% ductility at 298.15 K, with fractures mainly in the weld zone. Our findings, including fracture patterns analysis and microstructure in the weld seam, provide insights into CrCoNi MEA welding and its potential in engineering structures.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The present study proposed a systematic impregnation test, to study the impact of the interaction of the film and the impregnating agent on the microstructure, as well as the electrical properties of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films. BOPP films were impregnated in benzyl toluene at 80°C for 1, 3, 7, 14, and 42 days respectively. The microstructure and electrical properties of the films impregnated for different durations were investigated. The results showed that the crystallinity of films first decreased and then increased with the impregnating time. The impregnating agent came into BOPP films during the impregnating process, which suppressed the orientation of dipoles and reduced the orientation polarization, leading to a slight decrease in the dielectric constant and loss factor of films. Meanwhile, the impregnating agent would destroy the structure of the films to reduce the crystallinity, and thus the breakdown strength decreased. As the impregnating time increased, the molecules of the impregnating agent would occupy the voids in the amorphous and crystalline regions of films to repair the defects. As a result, enhanced structural uniformity with the breakdown performance improved slightly. The variation trend of the breakdown strength was consistent with that of the crystallinity.
1st principle study of Co-Fe alloy structural and magnetic properties
Authors: Du Dou , Xiao Namin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study investigates the structural and magnetic properties of cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), and their alloy (CoFe) using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Employing the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional and its extension with Hubbard U (PBE+U), the effect of U values on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of these systems is explored. The results show that increasing the U value leads to an enhancement in both lattice parameters and magnetic moments for Fe, Co, and the CoFe alloy. Specifically, BCC CoFe is found to be more energetically stable than HCP CoFe, with BCC CoFe exhibiting higher magnetization values for both Co and Fe atoms. The projected density of states (PDOS) reveals distinct shifts in the Co and Fe 3d bands depending on the U value. Overall, this work provides insights into the behaviour of CoFe alloys, particularly in relation to their structural stability and magnetism, offering valuable guidance for future theoretical and experimental investigations in magnetic materials.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Firmware testing on actual hardware is an optimal way to validate large-scale FPGA-based trigger/DAQ systems. For the Phase-II level-0 muon trigger system at the ATLAS experiment, a methodology using prototype ATCA-based Sector Logic (SL) boards was developed, featuring self-complete DAQ, high-statistics test patterns, and various nature of input test data. The design exploits Zynq SoC on the board for control, injection of BRAM-based test patterns data and flexible DAQ to probe the process. This success is thanks to the flexibility of the SL board design around the SoC device. This methodology facilitates precise firmware validation and systematic debugging.

Authors: Perro A. , Vodnik M. , Durante P. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
High Energy Physics (HEP) data acquisition systems are often built from high-end FPGAs. As such systems scale in the HL-LHC era, severe under-utilization of FPGA transceivers can occur because front-end links prioritize radiation hardness and power consumption over raw data bandwidth. This work evaluates recently introduced low-power, low-cost FPGA devices as an alternative building block for future readout architectures. This study presents the implementation of a readout back-End on FPGA where the front-end protocol is based on the Low-Power GigaBit Transceiver (lpGBT) and the readout protocol is based on 10 Gigabit Ethernet, using the LHCb Run 4 RICH detector as a practical case study.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Circuit quantum electrodynamics enables the combined use of qubits and oscillator modes. Despite a variety of available gate sets, many hybrid qubit-boson (i.e., qubit-oscillator) operations are realizable only through optimal control theory, which is oftentimes intractable and uninterpretable. We introduce an analytic approach with rigorously proven error bounds for realizing specific classes of operations via two matrix product formulas commonly used in Hamiltonian simulation, the Lie-Trotter and Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff product formulas. We show how this technique can be used to realize a number of operations of interest, including polynomials of annihilation and creation operators, namely (a)p (a†)q for integer p, q. We show examples of this paradigm including obtaining universal control within a subspace of the entire Fock space of an oscillator, state preparation of a fixed photon number in the cavity, simulation of the Jaynes--Cummings Hamiltonian, and simulation of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect. This work demonstrates how techniques from Hamiltonian simulation can be applied to better control hybrid qubit-boson devices.

The Age of Electricity
Authors: Smil Vaclav 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter traces the history of electric industry from the 1870s to 1914. Building on pre-1870 experimental advances, this highly intensive period of technical progress began with the invention of incandescent light bulbs and the construction of the first dynamos and the first electricity-generating plants. Soon afterward came the invention of steam turbines, transformers, and electric motors. By the late 1880s, all essential aspects of the modern electricity industry were in place, and the next two decades saw the rise of urban transmission grids, an increase of generation capacities and efficiencies, the large-scale adoption of electric lighting and small appliances in cities and electric motors in industries, and the appearance of the first streetcars and first electric trains.

Abstract
To what extent were the people who lived at that time aware that they were present at the creation of a new era? Some astute observers who lived during the Age of Synergy were aware of its extraordinary concatenation of technical advances that created a new high-energy, highly mechanized civilization that also guaranteed unprecedented food security and a high level of economic globalization. Inevitably, these technical advances led to new social and political arrangements, ranging from the demise of artisanal work to rising female participation in the labor force, and they laid the indispensable foundation for the transformations that took place during the twentieth century.
