A three‐dimensional multiple containers loading approach considering weak heterogeneous containers for multiple customers
Authors: Yang Hongbing , Hu Yue , Zhou Wei , Gao Yue , Wang Junwei 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe container loading plan significantly affects the transportation cost of manufacturing companies. However, the traditional approaches for three‐dimensional single container loading problems cannot be directly applied to three‐dimensional multiple containers loading problems (3D‐MCLP) due to the different basic features between the two problems; in addition, the existing solution algorithms for a 3D‐MCLP have limited efficiency and quality when dealing with nonidentical boxes corresponding to multiple customers. Considering a general 3D‐MCLP with weak heterogeneous containers, this paper establishes a general mathematical model and proposes an integrated greedy algorithm, multilayer tree search, and large neighborhood search algorithm to maximize the average filling rate of containers. An integrated greedy heuristic multilayer tree search algorithm is proposed to obtain the initial solution of a 3D‐MCLP. Then, a large neighborhood search algorithm containing five removal operators and two repair operators is further designed to improve the results. Numerical experiments with 2014/2015 ESICUP challenge datasets and real‐world case studies validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

AbstractThe investigation of lead‐free ceramics with exceptional piezoelectric properties holds great importance in the substitution of lead‐based materials, hence promoting the development of green technology and fostering an environmentally sustainable society. This study successfully synthesized two series of Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3 (BMN)‐modified BiFeO3–BaTiO3 (BF–BT) lead‐free piezoelectric ceramics using the conventional solid‐state reaction approach. The phase structure, microstructure, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties of these ceramics were comprehensively investigated. A typical perovskite structure is observed in all probed compositions, and the associated phase structure undergoes a gradual transition from a rhombohedral‐cubic phase mixture to a cubic‐dominant phase structure as increases the content of BMN and BT. All compositions exhibit obvious core–shell microstructures with inhomogeneous element distributions. Most importantly, the BF–0.30BT–0.005BMN and BF–0.34BT–0.03BMN piezoelectric ceramics presented remarkable values for the piezoelectric coefficient (225 pC/N) and converse piezoelectric coefficient (396 pm/V), respectively. These findings highlight the potential of BMN‐modified BF–BT ceramics for use in high‐performance piezoelectric applications.

AbstractPhase equilibria in the Al2O3–Ta2O5 system have been studied by means of CO2 laser heater, high‐speed pyrometer, X‐ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The liquidus and invariant reaction temperatures in the whole composition region were measured by cooling trace tests. The monotectic reaction of Liquid 1→Liquid 2 + Al2O3 was determined to be at about 1547°C, but the typical microstructures for the miscibility gap were not directly observed in our experiments. The tetragonal AlTaO4 phases formed from as‐cast samples were found to congruently melt at 1669°C, and they could maintain stability during the cooling process but would gradually transform into orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs after heat treatment. Two eutectic reactions of Liquid → Al2O3 + T‐AlTaO4 and Liquid → T‐AlTaO4 + β‐Ta2O5 were measured to be at 1447°C and 36.7 mol%Ta2O5 and 1513°C and 63.5 mol% Ta2O5, respectively. Due to the undercooling effect, the invariant reaction temperatures determined by this work might be preliminary and need to be verified by more accurate methods. Our experiments confirmed that doping Al2O3 in Ta2O5 phases could improve phase stability of β‐Ta2O5. Finally, thermodynamic optimization of the Al2O3–Ta2O5 system was performed based on the obtained experimental data by means of the CALPHAD method. The self‐consistent thermodynamic parameters are helpful in further efforts for construction of Al2O3–Ta2O5‐based multicomponent thermodynamic database and the development of alumina–tantala‐based materials.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBulk tin‐based monochalcogenides are composed of earth‐abundant, low‐cost, and non‐toxic chemical elements, which possess high thermoelectric properties making them candidate for waste heat recovery applications. Bandgap engineering offers opportunity to customize the characteristics of semiconductors as desired applications in microelectronic, thermoelectric, and so on. The bandgap of tin‐based monochalcogenides is systematically regulated by the solid‐solution method. The thermal and optical properties of SnSe(1–x)Sx (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) single crystals, synthesized successfully by a home‐modified Bridgman method, have been systematically investigated. A variety of characterizations, including x‐ray diffraction, electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, absorbance spectroscopy, and thermal analyzer, are employed to confirm the precise tuning of the component. As the S compositions increased from 0 to 1, the unit cell parameter, interplanar spacing, and optical phonon frequency exhibited a linear change, aligning with the expected bandgap shifts and calculated results. Our work will promote the advancement of the SnSe and SnS materials in areas including thermoelectricity and photovoltaics.
Unsupervised estimation of the age at sea departure of Atlantic salmon using magnesium, manganese, and zinc otolith chemistry

Published: June 2024

AbstractInvestigating the age at sea departure of returning Atlantic salmon is critical to better understand the role of emigration timing in survival. Among the methods available, the use of otolith chemistry can be challenging in anadromous fish, as the elements frequently used (i.e., magnesium, manganese, and zinc) can jointly reflect individual metabolism and environmental conditions. Here, we present a new unsupervised and robust method for successfully estimating the outmigration age of Atlantic salmon in the Bay of Biscay, based on otolith zinc concentrations.

ABSTRACTDeep sowing is a traditional method for drought resistance in maize production, and mesocotyl elongation is strongly associated with the ability of maize to germinate from deep soil. However, little is known about the functional genes and mechanisms regulating maize mesocotyl elongation. In the present study, we identified a plant‐specific SIMILAR TO RCD‐ONE (SRO) protein family member, ZmSRO1e, involved in maize mesocotyl elongation. The expression of ZmSRO1e is strongly inhibited upon transfer from dark to white light. The loss‐of‐function zmsro1e mutant exhibited a dramatically shorter mesocotyl than the wild‐type in both constant light and darkness, while overexpression of ZmSRO1e significantly promoted mesocotyl elongation, indicating that ZmSRO1e positively regulates mesocotyl elongation. We showed that ZmSRO1e physically interacted with ZmbZIP61, an ortholog of Arabidopsis ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) and showed a function similar to that of HY5 in regulating photomorphogenesis. We found that ZmSRO1e repressed the transcriptional activity of ZmbZIP61 toward target genes involved in the regulation of cell expansion, such as ZmEXPB4 and ZmEXPB6, by interfering with the binding of ZmbZIP61 to the promoters of target genes. Our results provide a new understanding of the mechanism by which SRO regulates photomorphogenesis and highlight its potential application in deep sowing‐resistant breeding.

AbstractAims and ObjectivesTo determine the effect of immersive virtual reality (VR) on perceived pain and fear in children during vaccination and parental satisfaction with the procedure.BackgroundVirtual reality can reduce the perception of pain by children but only three studies have analysed its use during vaccination to date; these had small sample sizes and imperfect methodological designs.DesignA randomised controlled clinical trial.MethodsOne hundred and sixty participants from the Tres Forques Health Center were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG) (n = 82) in which distraction with immersive VR was used during the vaccination, while standard distraction techniques were used for the control group (n = 80). The primary outcome was pain (Wong–Baker FACES). Secondary outcomes included (Children's Fear Scale) and parental satisfaction with the vaccination procedure. Chi‐squared tests were used for qualitative variables, relationships between quantitative variables were tested with Spearman correlations, and Mann–Whitney U‐ or Student t‐tests were employed to assess the relationship between quantitative and qualitative variables.ResultsCompared to the controls, the children in the IG reported significantly less pain and fear, while parental satisfaction was significantly higher. Reported pain and fear did not differ according to the sex of the patient. Child age was not linked to fear but was related to pain: the younger the patient, the greater the pain they described.ConclusionsImmersive VR effectively controlled pain and fear in children during vaccination and increased parent satisfaction with the vaccination process. Patient sex did not influence the level of pain and fear but age did.Relevance to clinical practiceImproving vaccination experiences can reduce perceived pain and fear in children and increase parent satisfaction, thereby enhancing vaccination schedule adherence and improving group immunity.Reporting MethodThe CONSORT Statement for non‐pharmacological randomised clinical trials were followed.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundTemporomandibular disorders (TMDs) may be an ‘idiom’ of psychological distress in Confucian heritage cultures (CHCs).ObjectivesThis systematic review/meta‐analysis estimated the prevalence of TMDs in CHCs and compared the differences in TMD occurrence between time periods and age groups. Additionally, the associated biopsychosocial risk factors were also examined.MethodsThe study protocol was developed a priori following the PRISMA guidelines and Joanna Briggs Institute systematic review methodology (CRD42021245526). Electronic searches of seven databases were conducted from January 2002 to Dec 2021. Reference lists of identified studies were hand‐searched for additional articles. Study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction were done. Meta‐analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.4 software.ResultsForty‐eight articles were included in the systematic review. Overall prevalences were: TMDs‐15% (95% CI: 15–16%); TMD pain‐8% (95% CI: 7–9%); TMJ sounds‐24% (95% CI: 21–27%); and TMJ locking‐7% (95% CI: 1–13%). While TMD prevalence appeared to have declined from 2002 to 2011 to 2012–2021, the occurrence of TMD pain, TMJ sounds, and locking increased marginally or remained constant. TMD prevalence in children/adolescents was 18% (95% CI: 14–22%) and 17% (95% CI: 16–18%) among adults. Significant associations between TMDs and bruxism/psychological distress/education levels were specified by 73%/90%/88% of the relevant studies.ConclusionsTMDs are prevalent in CHCs and a slight increase in TMD pain (2%) and TMJ sounds (8%) were discerned over the past two decades. TMDs are related to a myriad of biopsychosocial variables, particularly psychological distress, and these factors must be addressed within the cultural context of patients.

AbstractObjectivePostoperative patients with temporomandibular joint internal derangement (ID) often have problems such as limited mouth opening and pain. Exercise therapy can be advantageous for improving the recovery of patients following surgery. However, there is continuing discussion on the precise aspects of the exercise program, including the optimal timing, length, intensity, and use of assistive equipment. Hence, this study aimed to incorporate pre‐existing exercise treatment regimens and investigate their impact.MethodsPublications that detailed the clinical treatment of patients with temporomandibular joint ID who received postoperative exercise therapy interventions were included. Nine databases were searched until October 1st, 2023. The JBI critical appraisal tools were used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies.ResultsFive studies were finally included for subsequent analysis; two were randomised controlled studies, and three were quasi‐experimental. Exercises suitable for such patients encompass vertical, transverse, and horizontal stretching, among which vertical stretch can be divided into active and passive movements. The start time ranged from the first to the fifth week after surgery, with a duration of 1–6 months. Although the data in the studies could not be integrated and further analysed, preliminary results showed that maximum mouth opening and pain in patients improved significantly. The therapeutic effect of combining three exercise methods was best and was related to patient compliance.ConclusionExercise therapy positively affects postoperative rehabilitation in patients with temporomandibular joint ID. It is proposed that targeted, comprehensive studies be conducted to provide a basis for designing more sophisticated exercise therapy regimens and further confirm its curative effect.

AbstractBackgroundLimited data exist on the mid‐ to long‐term masticatory capacity of mandibular overdenture (IOD) wearers, particularly regarding the use of posterior implants to retention.ObjectivesTo periodically evaluate mastication of IOD wearers, comparing the effectiveness of two to four implants to retain the prosthesis.MethodsIn a randomised controlled clinical trial, 20 complete edentulous patients (14 women), aged 51–84 years (mean age 69.1 ± 9.6), received new bimaxillary complete dentures (CD). After adaptation, baseline measurements of masticatory performance (X50) and swallowing threshold were conducted using the sieving method. Patients were then randomly assigned to groups: control (two intra‐foraminal regular implants) and experimental (two intra‐foraminal regular implants and two extra‐short posterior implants) (n = 10 each). After 4 months, implants were splinted, and a new mandibular IOD was fabricated with bar/clip retention. Mastication was reassessed after 6, 12, and 48 months, and data analysed with repeated measures ANOVA and Sidak's post hoc (α = 0.05).ResultsDespite a loss of two patients per group, masticatory performance significantly improved after mandibular IOD installation (p = .031) in both groups (p = .670). A second improvement was observed after 6 months (p = .027), with no subsequent changes (p > .05). Swallowing threshold improvements were noted with IOD, and no discernible differences between groups were observed (p > .05).ConclusionMasticatory function significantly improved after mandibular IOD installation, with the number of implants demonstrating minimal influence.Clinical Trial RegistrationThe present study was not registered in a public database, as mandated. It is important to note that the recommendation for registration was initiated in 2017 by the Committee of Medical Journal Editors, while patient inclusion in the research took place in 2016. Given that the data presented in this manuscript cover a follow‐up period of up to 4 years post‐surgical intervention, delayed registration was not feasible.

AimStricture formation is the most common remote complication of caustic ingestion. The aim of this study was evaluation of the efficacy of early topical endoscopic application of mitomycin C (MMC) in prevention of stricture formation after corrosive ingestion in children.MethodsWe enrolled 78 children with a history of caustic ingestion within 48 h in a prospective, randomised‐controlled study. Only 61 children completed the study and were classified into two groups: group A and B. After initial stabilisation, patients in group A (n = 30) received topical application of MMC within the initial 48 h while patients in group B (n = 31) only received conventional management. Follow‐up endoscopic dilatation was done every 2 weeks to patients in either group until no need for further dilatation.ResultsThe barium study, which was done on the third week, revealed that all the patients (100%) on conservative management (group B) had strictures while only nine patients (30%) in group A had strictures (P < 0.001). The median number of dilatations required for patients in group B was 26 (min. = 23 and max. = 32) while in group A, it was 0 (min. = 0 and max. = 7) (P < 0.001). The success of early MMC application was complete response in 26 patients (86.7%), partial response in 3 patients (10%) and no response in 1 patient (3.3%). On the other side, conventional therapy with endoscopic dilatation achieved complete response in 11 patients (35.5%).ConclusionEarly topical MMC application proved its efficacy and safety in prevention of scar and stricture formation in children following caustic ingestion.

SummaryInsomnia is a common feature of depression; however, depression treatment guidelines provide limited recommendations regarding hypnotic drugs. Few studies have thoroughly investigated the use of hypnotic drugs in depression. In this cohort study using national Swedish registers, we included all patients ≥18 years with incident unipolar depression during 2007–2017. Patients were followed for 3 years, noting the annual and quarterly prevalence of hypnotic drug use from prescription fills. Prevalence ratios (PR) comparing 2017 to 2007 were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 222,077 patients with depression were included (mean age 41 years, 59% women). In the year following diagnosis, 44.1% used any hypnotic drug in 2017, compared with 46.7% in 2007 (PR 0.94, 95% CI 0.92–0.97). The most commonly used drugs were Z‐drugs (zopiclone, zolpidem, and zaleplon) with a prevalence of 27.6% in 2017 and 35.6% in 2007 (PR 0.78, 95% CI 0.75–0.80). Melatonin use increased sharply to 12.0% in 2017 from 0.4% in 2007 (PR 28.9, 95% CI 23.5–35.7). Hypnotic drug use was most prevalent in the first two quarters after diagnosis; however, after 3 years, the quarterly prevalence was still 19.2%. Hypnotics were more common among women, older patients, those with somatic comorbidities, more severe depression, or a history of suicide attempt. Evidence from this large register‐based study demonstrates that hypnotics were used to a large extent in depression in Sweden 2007–2017. Z‐drugs use declined and melatonin use increased dramatically. Hypnotic drug use remained high even 3 years after diagnosis.
Post‐Legitimate Society
Authors: Charles Will , Gunderson Ryan 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWe explore the role of moral, cognitive, and pragmatic legitimacy in reproducing the organization of two on‐demand labor platforms for couriers. Labor platforms are ideal cases to explore questions of legitimacy and institutional reproduction because they aspire towards automaticity. Since the 1970s, with the emergence of new production technologies and organizational forms, labor and work scholars have predicted a shift from the use of direct, coercive controls as a method to coordinate activity to more indirect, hegemonic, and normative methods of control. However, we find that in the case of the gig economy, platform firms are refuting the predictions of Post‐Fordist labor scholars, relying upon new forms of direct technological control as well as coercive, indirect market control, as opposed to shared norms and obligations, as methods for coordinating activity. We explore the implications of ‘post‐legitimate’ institutions, as well as the latent moral economy of gig workers as revealed through their critiques of the platform economy.
