Published: June 2024

AbstractEnstatite meteorites, both aubrites and enstatite chondrites, formed under exceptionally reducing conditions, similar to the planet Mercury. Despite being reduced, the MESSENGER mission showed that the surface of Mercury is more enriched in volatiles (e.g., S, Na, K, Cl) than previously thought. To better understand the mineral hosts of these volatiles and how they formed, this work examines the chemistry and petrographic settings of a rare, K‐bearing sulfide called djerfisherite within enstatite chondrites and aubrites. The petrographic settings of djerfisherite within aubrites suggest this critical host of Cl formed after both the crystallization of troilite and exsolution of daubréelite. Djerfisherite is commonly observed as a rim on other sulfides and in contact with metal. We present an alteration model for djerfisherite formation in aubrite meteorites, whereby troilite and Fe‐Ni metal are altered through anhydrous, alkali‐ and Cl‐rich fluid metasomatism on the aubrite parent body to produce secondary djerfisherite. Moreover, we observe a loss of volatiles in djerfisherite within impact melted regions of the Miller Range 07139 EH3 chondrite and the Bishopville aubrite and explore the potential for impact devolatilization changes to sulfide chemistry on other reduced bodies in the Solar System. Vapor or fluid phase interactions are likely important in the formation of volatile‐rich phases in reduced systems. While most Na and K on the mercurian surface is expected to be hosted in feldspar, djerfisherite is likely a minor, but critical, reservoir for K, Na, and Cl. Djerfisherite present on reduced bodies, such as Mercury, may represent sulfides formed via late‐stage, primary metasomatism.

Published: June 2024

AbstractIn the field of railway infrastructure maintenance, timely and accurate detection of component anomalies is crucial for safety and efficiency. This paper presents the Cascade Region‐based convolutional neural network with Predefined Proposal Templates (CR‐PPT), an innovative method for railroad components inspection in complex railway infrastructure using edge‐computing devices. Unlike previous systems, CR‐PPT employs a series of predefined templates that enable it to detect both the presence and missing elements within various fastening systems. Our experimental analysis pinpoints the most effective network configurations for CR‐PPT. Furthermore, the paper examines CR‐PPT's proficiency in zero‐shot learning and fine‐tuning, highlighting its adaptability to new fastening systems. We have developed an optimized inference pipeline on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, significantly enhancing its applicability for railway inspection practices. Field blind tests validate the model's high precision and efficiency, greatly reducing the time and labor required for inspections. The findings highlight CR‐PPT's potential as an efficient and robust tool for track health assessment, marking a notable progression in the integration of AI and computer vision in rail track inspection.

ObjectiveManagement of extensive acetabular bone defects in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains challenging. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of 3D‐printed personalized porous acetabular components for the reconstruction of acetabular defects in primary THA.MethodsThis retrospective study involved seven patients who received 3D‐printed acetabular components in primary THA between July 2018 and March 2021. Preoperatively, acetabular bone defects were evaluated by referencing the Paprosky classification. There were two "Paprosky type IIIA" defects and five "Paprosky type IIIB" defects. The acetabular components were custom‐made for each patient to reconstruct the extensive acetabular defects. The hip function was assessed according to the Harris hip score (HHS). Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed.ResultsThe average follow‐up period was 40 months, ranging from 26 to 57 months. There were no patients lost to follow‐up. The HHS improved from 44 (range: 33–53) before the operation to 88 (range: 79–93) at the final follow‐up. Postoperative X‐rays showed that the 3D‐printed personalized components were properly fitted with the acetabulum. The average center of rotation (COR) discrepancy was 2.3 mm horizontally and 2.1 mm vertically, respectively. Tomosynthesis‐Shimadzu metal artifact reduction technology images showed that the implant was in close contact with the host bone. Moreover, no complications were observed during the follow‐up period, including loosening, dislocation, or component protrusion.ConclusionThe implantation of 3D‐printed personalized acetabular components showed accurate reconstruction, stable mechanical support, and favorable function at short‐term follow‐up. This may be a viable alternative method for reconstructing extensive acetabular defects in THA.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundElectromagnetic interference (EMI) encompasses electromagnetic field signals that can be detected by a device's circuitry, potentially resulting in adverse effects such as inaccurate sensing, pacing, device mode switching, and defibrillation. EMI may impact the functioning of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) and lead to inappropriate therapy.MethodAn experimental measuring device, a loop antenna mimicking the implantable cardioverted defibrillator (ICD) antenna, was developed, and validated at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and sent to Wright State University for testing. Two sets of measurements were conducted while the vehicle was connected to a 220‐Volt outlet with charging at ON and OFF. Each measurement set involved three readings at various locations, with the antenna oriented in three different positions to account for diverse patient postures. The experiment utilized a Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle (EV), assessing scenarios both inside and outside the car, including the driver's seat, driver's seat floor, passenger's seat, rear seat, rear seat floor, cup holder, charging port (car), and near the charging station.ResultsThe detected voltage (max 400 to 504 millivolts) around the cup holder inside the car differed from all other measurement scenarios.ConclusionThe investigation highlights the identification of EMI signals originating from an EV) that could potentially interrupt the functionality of a Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator (S‐ICD). These signals fell within the R‐wave Spectrum of 30–300 Hz. Further in‐vivo studies are essential to determine accurately the level of interference between S‐ICDs and EMI from Electric Vehicles.

AbstractBackgroundSeveral studies have evaluated the role of QRS duration (QRSd) or QRS narrowing as a predictor of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) to reduce nonresponders.AimOur study aimed to determine the correlation between the relative change in QRS index (QI) compared to clinical outcome and prognosis in patients who underwent CRT implantation.MethodsA three‐centers study involving 398 patients with a CRT device was conducted. Clinical, echocardiographic and pharmacological variables, QRSd before and after CRT implantation and QI were measured.ResultsIn a 6‐month follow‐up, a significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end‐diastolic and systolic volumes (LVEDV and LVESV) were observed. QI was related to reverse remodeling (multiple r‐squared: 0.48, adjusted r‐squared: 0.43, p = .001), and the cut‐off value that best predicted LV reverse remodeling after 6 months of CRT was 12.25% (AUC 0.7, p = .001). At 24 months, a statistically significant difference was found between patients with a QI ≤ 12.25% and those with a QI > 12.25% regarding NYHA class worsening (p = .04). The mean of the QI of patients who died from cardiovascular causes was lower than patients who died of other causes (p = .0179). A correlation between pre‐CRT QRSd/LVEDV and QI was observed (r = + 0.20; p = .0003). A higher QRSd/LVEDV ratio was associated with an improved LVEF, LVEDV, and LVESV (p < .0001) at follow‐up.ConclusionsQI narrowing after CRT was related to greater echocardiographic reverse remodeling and a lower rate of adverse events (death or cardiovascular hospitalizations). The QI can improve the prediction of adverse events in a population with CRT regardless of comorbidities according to the Charlson Comorbidity Index. QI could be used to predict CRT response.

Abstract
Rocky outcrop environments at high altitudes have nutrient‐poor soil, where species are exposed to water scarcity and high solar radiation. Baccharis platypoda DC. occurs in such an environment and has a rigid and transparent secretion that covers the entire inflorescence.
We analysed and compared the secretory structures and their chemical composition in female and male inflorescences of B. platypoda, a dioecious species, to explore chemodiversity within this species and assess potential differences between individuals. Our investigation also aims to understand the occurrence of these substances in the genus Baccharis L.
Chemical compounds and secretory structures were similar in female and male inflorescences. There are glandular trichomes on the epidermis of the abaxial surface of bracts, and secretory ducts in the axis of the inflorescence, as well as in sepals, petals, and bracts. Histochemical tests were positive for phenolic compounds, flavonoids, proteins, pectin, and lipids, but not for mucilage. Flavonoid content varied between 6.24% and 9.81%, being higher in female inflorescences. Chromatography revealed the presence of several phenolic compounds, some terpenes, and other less frequent classes in both female and male inflorescences.
We highlight that trichomes found on these surfaces produce abundant phenolic compounds. These act as natural defence agents, absorbing UV radiation and minimizing oxidative stress to plant cells. The chemical composition of the secretion covering the inflorescences may reflect adaptation and survival mechanisms of these organisms under extreme sun exposure.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAccurate diagnosis of periodontal and peri‐implant diseases relies significantly on radiographic examination, especially for assessing alveolar bone levels, bone defect morphology, and bone quality. This narrative review aimed to comprehensively outline the current state‐of‐the‐art in radiographic diagnosis of alveolar bone diseases, covering both two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) modalities. Additionally, this review explores recent technological advances in periodontal imaging diagnosis, focusing on their potential integration into clinical practice. Clinical probing and intraoral radiography, while crucial, encounter limitations in effectively assessing complex periodontal bone defects. Recognizing these challenges, 3D imaging modalities, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), have been explored for a more comprehensive understanding of periodontal structures. The significance of the radiographic assessment approach is evidenced by its ability to offer an objective and standardized means of evaluating hard tissues, reducing variability associated with manual clinical measurements and contributing to a more precise diagnosis of periodontal health. However, clinicians should be aware of challenges related to CBCT imaging assessment, including beam‐hardening artifacts generated by the high‐density materials present in the field of view, which might affect image quality. Integration of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence‐based tools in intraoral radiography software, the enhances the diagnostic process. The overarching recommendation is a judicious combination of CBCT and digital intraoral radiography for enhanced periodontal bone assessment. Therefore, it is crucial for clinicians to weigh the benefits against the risks associated with higher radiation exposure on a case‐by‐case basis, prioritizing patient safety and treatment outcomes.

AbstractSub‐estrus buffaloes do not exhibit estrus signs despite being cyclic contributing to extended service periods and inter‐calving intervals causing significant economic loss. The present study described the effect of synthetic prostaglandin (PGF2α) on estrus behaviour, follicular and luteal morphometry, and serum estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) profile in sub‐estrus buffaloes during the non‐breeding season. The incidence of sub‐estrus was 38.4% during the non‐breeding season. The sub‐estrus buffaloes (n = 33) were divided into two groups, viz., Control (n = 16) and PGF2α treatment (Inj. Cloprostenol 500 μg, i.m., n = 17). Estrus induction response was significantly greater in the treatment (100 vs. 18.75%, p < .001), and a relatively greater proportion of animals conceived in the treatment group (29.41 vs. 6.25%, p = .08). The time elapsed to induction of estrus and insemination following treatment was significantly lower in the treatment group than control. A significant increment in the follicle diameter (9.72 ± 0.45 vs. 13.00 ± 0.45 mm, P < .0001) and serum estradiol (E2) concentration (66.01 ± 11.92 vs. 104.9 ± 13.21 pg/mL, p = .003) observed at the post‐treatment period in the PGF2α treatment group. At the same time, CL diameter was reduced significantly at a higher regression rate in the PGF2α treated buffaloes than those of control. Of the responded buffaloes, only 30% showed high‐intensity estrus attributed to the expulsion of cervico‐vaginal mucus (CVM), uterine tonicity, micturition, and mounting response by a teaser bull. From this study, it can be concluded that the administration of PGF2α could induce estrus in the sub‐estrus buffaloes during the non‐breeding season. Behavioural changes, along with sonographic observation of POF, regressing CL, and serum E2 and P4 concentration would be useful to determine the right time of insemination in sub‐estrus buffaloes during non‐breeding season.

AbstractThe efficiency of bovine in vitro embryo production can be significantly improved by splitting embryos at different stages. However, the blastocyst quality of in vitro‐produced demi‐embryos remains unexplored. The objective of this research was to compare embryo developmental rates and quality of bovine demi‐embryos produced by two different strategies: (a) embryo bisection (BSEC) and (b) 2‐cell blastomere separation (BSEP). To determine demi‐embryos quality, we evaluated total blastocyst cell number and proportion of SOX2+ cells. Additionally, the expression of SOX2, NANOG, OCT4, CDX2, IFNT, BAX and BCL genes and let‐7a and miRNA‐30c Micro RNAs was analysed. BSEP resulted in improved blastocyst development, higher ICM cells and a significantly higher expression of IFNΤ than demi‐embryos produced by BSEC. Let‐7a, which is associated with low pregnancy establishment was detected in BSEC, while miRNA‐30c expression was observed in all treatments. In conclusion, BSEP of 2‐cell embryos is more efficient to improve in vitro bovine embryo development and to produce good quality demi‐embryos based on ICM cell number and the expression pattern of the genes explored compared to BSEC.

AbstractSurvival in the soil seed bank is critical to a weed maintaining populations in arable lands. The role of the seed‐borne fungi in seed decay or survival needs to be determined to find solutions for reducing the weed seed banks in environmentally friendly ways. In this study, changes of the fungal microbiome after seed burial were determined in two economically important weed species, wild oat and barnyard grass. Seeds collected in different populations were buried in two sites and exhumed at intervals over the period of 1.5 years to test the seed fate. Epiphytic and endophytic fungal microbiota of seeds was characterised using both culture‐based approach and NGS of ITS1 region. The proportion of visually intact seeds and decayed seeds was different between the two burial sites. The observed species richness of the isolated epiphytic fungi was higher in the fresh compared to the buried seeds. Fungal taxa determined by NGS amplicon sequencing only partly coincided with the isolated fungi, revealing higher diversity in buried seeds. The dynamic of taxonomic structure of the fungal community was less pronounced in wild oat seeds compared to the barnyard grass seeds, where both endophytic and epiphytic communities were significantly different in the buried seeds and differed between the burial sites. It can be concluded that the epiphytic fungal communities change after seed burial in both plant species, while endophytic communities are more stable in the intact seeds and changes of the fungal community in the seed endosphere may be associated with seed decay.

Shale Oil Shut-In and Flowback Mechanism and Optimization Strategy
Authors: Lu Zhiwei , Li Xiang , Che Mingguang , Li Xizhe 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Shut-in and flowback are critical stages following hydraulic fracturing in shale oil wells. Researching the distribution of reservoir pressure and fluid flow mechanism during shut-in and flowback is important for optimizing these procedures, thereby enhancing well productivity. Therefore, based on the flow mechanism of shale oil, this article establishes a flow equation considering imbibition and seepage, using linear source superposition equivalent to the pressure distribution generated by hydraulic fracturing as the initial condition. The PEBI (Perpendicular BIsection) grid is used to divide the grid for multistage fractured horizontal wells. The simulation results reveal that large-volume fracturing leads to the formation of a high-pressure zone around the wellbore, significantly surpassing the original reservoir pressure, termed as the high-energy band. This high-energy band is demarcated from the original reservoir pressure by the pressure boundary line (PBL). During production, a double-pressure funnel (DPF) manifests within the reservoir, generating a region with the utmost pressure at a specific position within the high-energy band, known as the pressure peak line. Oil located beyond the pressure peak line is unable to flow toward the wellbore. According to the DPF theory of shale oil, fracturing technology should be adopted to form long straight fractures as far as possible whenever feasible to cross the high-energy band. The shale oil optimal duration for shut-in is contingent upon the movement rate of the pressure boundary and the shale imbibition curve.
