Published: April 2024

Infection with Edwardsiella ictaluri, a causative agent of enteric septicemia of catfish, threatens profitable catfish production through inventory losses. We previously demonstrated that trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC) enhances the survival of catfish following E. ictaluri infection. The present study was conducted to investigate catfish immune responses to TC feeding and E. ictaluri infection. The expression of 13 proinflammatory, innate, and adaptive immune-related genes was evaluated over time in two sets of experiments using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the first experiment, catfish were fed a basal diet with or without TC supplementation, while in the second they were fed a TC-supplemented or normal diet followed by infection with E. ictaluri. The catfish group infected with E. ictaluri and fed a TC-diet showed significant changes in the expression of innate and adaptive immune-related genes compared to control group. At 21 and 28 days post-infection, recovered fish showed significant increases in the expression of IgM in the anterior kidney and spleen. These results suggest that the supplemental dietary intake of TC can improve the immune status of catfish via engaging innate and adaptive immune responses and the production of memory cells in immunocompetent tissues. Together, this study provides an important foundation for the potential application of TC as an antimicrobial alternative in aquaculture.

Relevance. The integrity of the dentofacial system, significantly influenced by the functional condition of the masseter muscles (MM) and the morphological alterations in the alveolar bone, plays a crucial role in the outcome and duration of orthodontic treatment for distal occlusion. Ultrasonic diagnostic methods, due to their physiological compatibility, high information content, and ergonomic design, offer a preferable alternative for assessing and tracking these changes throughout orthodontic treatment.Materials and methods. This study included 55 individuals of both genders, aged 9-12, with either normal occlusions (NO) or distal occlusions (DO). Ultrasound examinations of the MM at rest and during maximum voluntary teeth clenching were conducted to evaluate MM thickness and echotexture. Ultrasonic densitometry measurements were conducted through the assessment of ultrasound transit velocity (UTV). This was carried out across the interalveolar bone with probes positioned on the buccal and oral sides between two neighboring teeth roots.Results. The findings indicated that DO patients had a notably thicker MM compared to their NO counterparts. Variations in MM echotexture were observed, with differences in the anechogenic and hyper echogenic zones. Recorded UTV values illustrated that the highest alveolar bone density in DO subjects was predominantly in the frontal regions of both jaws on the left side, whereas the lowest density was observed in the right lateral regions. For NO subjects, the highest density values were identified in the frontal region of the mandibular bone, with the lowest in the maxillary bone's lateral regions on both sides.Conclusion. The application of advanced ultrasonic diagnostic methods in this study facilitated a detailed functional and morphological analysis of the MM, as well as an evaluation of alveolar bone density in individuals with both distal and normal occlusions. The development of ultrasonic alveolar bone density chart from this research provides a valuable addition to dental examination protocols for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Premarital and Extra Marital Sexual Issues in Tanjore Region based Tamil Novels
Authors: Balakrishnan M 
Published: April 2024

The family system is the organization that appears to fulfill the natural sexual needs of a man. A consensual sex through legal or traditionally and ritually defined, accepted marriage is a statute norm in Tamil society and hence it has systemically regulated the fulfillment of a man’s sexual need within the family system. But premarital sex does happen with or without the knowledge and acceptance of society. Extramarital or post marital relationships also happen in the event of unfulfilled desires and expectations. Such illicit sexual affairs create problems within family leading to disturbed and fragmented marital life and fatal consequences at times. Illicit affairs and its impact on family well being has formed the theme of Tanjore based novels like sennel, vellikizhamai, nenjin naduvae, kuruthipunal, poruppu, mathipetra minor, mogamul, velvi thee, pasitha manudam. This article explores these novels in this context. While issue of premarital has been dealt in sennel, vellikizhamai, nenjin naduvae, kuruthipunal and pasitha manudam, impact of post marital relationship has been depicted in pasitha manudam, velvi thee. Sexual affairs with prostitute and mistress has been narrated in poruppu, mathipetra minor, kuruthipunal (Indhira Parthasarathy) and nenjin naduvae (C.M. Muthu).
Fryderyk Kazimierz Wolff SJ (1643–1708) i Tomasz Dunin Szpot SJ (1644–1713) – polscy jezuici jako pośrednicy kulturowi w czasach poselstwa cara Piotra I do Europy (1697–1698)

Published: April 2024

Wielkie poselstwo cara Piotra I Aleksiejewicza Romanowa, czyli podróż dyplomatyczna do Europy Zachodniej, miało miejsce między 9/10 marca 1697 r. a 25 sierpnia 1698 r. Towarzyszyła mu szeroko zakrojona aktywność innych moskiewskich dyplomatów, jak np. Borysa Szeremietiewa. Już w marcu 1698 r. odwiedził Wiedeń, gdzie otrzymał listy polecające do Fryderyka Kazimierza Wolffa SJ, cesarskiego dyplomaty, wywodzącego się z Rzeczypospolitej, a konkretnie z senatorskiego rodu z województwa inflanckiego. Ojciec Wolff zalecał przyjęcie w Rzymie Szeremietiewa, rzekomo skłonnego do unii, przez jakiegoś jezuitę znającego język słowiański. W ten sposób skrzyżowały się drogi moskiewskiego dyplomaty z ojcem Tomaszem Duninem Szpotem. Ten zostawił relację opisującą wizytę i audiencje Szeremietiewa w Rzymie, w których generał zakonu Tirso González de Santalla podsuwał moskiewskiemu dyplomacie jako dary polskie manuskrypty przygotowane przez Szpota na temat misji w Japonii czy postanowień soborów powszechnych Kościoła katolickiego. Relacja ta przedstawia również pobyt Piotra I w Wiedniu, podczas którego – dzięki możliwości porozumiewania się w języku polskim – pomiędzy ojcem Wolffem a carem wytworzyły się więzy szczególnej zażyłości.
Time-resolved observation of 150 kHz high-power pulse burst high-frequency discharge using a high-speed video camera and an intensiﬁed charge coupled device camera

Abstract
The discharge phase and time evolution of a 150 kHz high-power pulse burst discharge were observed. A vacuum chamber was constructed by connecting glass tubes on which a solenoid coil was wound. Burst pulses with a width of 1000 μs and a repetition rate of 10 Hz were applied to the solenoid coil. A high-speed video camera and an intensiﬁed CCD camera were used to record photographs of the discharges. Observation of the discharge phase using a high-speed camera showed that the discharge occurs at the time of 40 μs and propagates from the wall of the cylindrical reactor. Over time, the discharge pattern evolves, and a branched pattern appears. The number of the branches changes with time. The discharge blinks synchronize with the instantaneous power, which suggests that the discharge is generated and maintained by the electrostatic field generated by the sides of the coil. The propagation velocity calculated from downstream decreases with increasing pressure and increases with increasing power.
Fabrication of low-resonant-frequency inertial MEMS using through-silicon DRIE applied to silicon-on-glass
Authors: Wu Jun , Zhang Hui , Ikehashi Tamio 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This paper reports on a fabrication process suitable for ultra-low resonant frequency inertial MEMS sensors. The low resonant frequency is achieved by electrically tunable springs and a heavy mass formed by through-silicon deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) applied to a silicon-on-glass. A thermal issue of through-silicon DRIE (TSD) stemming from the low-resonant-frequency structure is circumvented by two methods: introducing cooling time between the DRIE steps, and adopting a metal hard mask. A blade dicing method suited for this process is also presented. To monitor the verticality of TSD, a non-destructive taper detection method that utilizes a capacitance–voltage (CV) curve is proposed and verified.

Abstract
In this paper, single-crystal GePb films were obtained by magnetron sputtering with high substrate temperature and rapid deposition rate. The GePb films have high crystalline qualities and smooth surface. The Pb content reached 1.29% and no segregation was observed. Based on this, a GePb based p–i–n photodetector was successfully prepared. The device showed a RT dark current density of 5.83 mA cm−2 at −1.0 V and a cutoff wavelength of 1990 nm, which covers all communication windows. At the wavelength of 1625 nm, responsivity of the photodetector reached 0.132 A W−1 at −1.0 V. The device demonstrates potential application in optical communications.

Published: April 2024

Introduction. Prediction of the durability of flame-retardant coatings of steel engineering structures and preservation of their performance during operation remain important research directions. There is a lack of normative documents in the field of fire protection, regulating the process of testing of flame-retardant coatings during operation, as well as determination of their durability (service life).Aim. To develop test methods for determining the resistance of flame-retardant coatings of steel engineering structures exposed to climatic factors, preservation of their fireproof and anti-corrosion properties during operation.Materials and methods. Test specimens included 600 x 600 x 5 mm plates made of 08kp and 08ps sheet steel according to State Standard 16523-97 and State Standard 9045-93 with a flame-retardant agent applied on the front side.Results. Methods for testing thin-layer intumescent and structural flame-retardant coatings during operation are proposed. The methodology of accelerated climatic testing of specimens coated with thin-layer intumescent flame-retardant coatings (flame-retardant paints) corresponds to State Standard 9.401-2018. These coatings are inherently high-solid paint materials. A new methodology, sequence, and modes of testing are developed for structural flame-retardant coatings. The subsequent assessment of fireproof properties of coatings and their preservation is carried out by the methods of fire protection efficiency according to State Standard R 53295-99 and the methods of thermal analysis. These methods imply comparison of the characteristics of the initial flame-retardant coating and those obtained after sample aging. The preservation of fireproof properties by thin-layer intumescent and structural coatings is additionally evaluated by the intumescence coefficient and the change in thermal conductivity, respectively.Conclusions. Test methods for flame-retardant coatings of steel engineering structures during operation are developed. Threshold levels of changes in their properties are established. After accelerated climatic tests, fire protection efficiency should not decrease by no more than 20 %. For structural fire protection, an increase in thermal conductivity by no more than 5 % is permitted. For thin-layer coatings, the arithmetic mean value of the intumescence coefficient should not decrease by no more than 30 % of the initial value.Implications. The developed methods were used in the preparation of a draft national standard of the Russian Federation “Steel engineering structures with fireproof coatings. Test methods for anticorrosion properties and resistance to climatic factors during operation” to ensure regulatory fire safety requirements for these structures.

Published: April 2024

Introduction. The article presents a methodological approach to justifying measures designed to ensure the required fire resistance of structures enclosing NPP premises with the use of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) fire modeling. Approaches to justifying fire safety are considered using the fuel storage facility of an NPP standby diesel power plant as an example.Aim. To develop and analyze the methodological approach to justifying measures designed to ensure the required fire resistance of structures enclosing NPP premises with the use of CFD fire modeling.Materials and methods. The purpose and application scope of various methods for modeling fire dynamics was analyzed. Fire modeling used to justify measures for ensuring the required fire resistance of enclosing structures was considered using the fuel storage facility of an NPP standby diesel power plant as an example.Results. The performed analysis of different methods for modeling fire dynamics shows the possibility of using different fire simulation methods in the analysis of the fire hazard of buildings and facilities. The most dangerous fire development scenarios were modeled and the obtained results were analyzed on the example of a specific typical NPP facility in the NPP emergency power supply system. The redundancy requirements for these systems were taken into account to ensure tolerance to system failures in case of process failures and external effects on these systems.Conclusion. Since the CFD method is the most universal of the existing deterministic methods, it can be widely used to determine/revise the requirements for fire resistance of load-bearing and enclosing structures at NPP premises. It is possible to apply CFD-based fire modeling for the fire hazard of various buildings and facilities. This model is particularly effective in justifying the sufficiency of fire resistance requirements established for structures to prevent the spread of fire beyond the fire zone within the estimated burnout time of the entire fire load The obtained regularities can be used in the development/revision of regulatory documents on fire safety at operating NPPs and NPPs under construction.

Aim. To review the history of concrete technology over the past 30 years and to analyze current trends in the field.Reality. New concepts and terms that manifest the level of modern science in the field of concrete technology are given. It is shown that the use of complex organomineral modifiers produced on an industrial scale, which are characterized by unique compositions, forms, and processability, allowed Russia to organize promptly mass production of concrete with high performance properties in the amount of about 5 million m3. Examples of construction of unique structures from new modified concretes are presented. The list of such structures includes high-rise buildings, sports facilities, bridges, overpasses, tunnels, etc.Prospects. Priority tasks for further development of concrete technology in Russia have been formulated. Among them are the development and improvement of physical and technical characteristics of concretes; extended use of large-tonnage technogenic wastes in production of concrete mixtures; updating and development of new normative documents for calculation, design, and erection of modern structures with high operational reliability, durability, and aesthetic properties.

Abstract
Within the first few hundreds of millions of years, many physical processes sculpt the eventual properties of young planets. NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has surveyed young stellar associations across the entire sky for transiting planets, providing glimpses into the various stages of planetary evolution. Using our own detection pipeline, we search a magnitude-limited sample of 7219 young stars (≲200 Myr) observed in the first 4 yr of TESS for small (2–8 R
⊕), short period (1.6–20 days) transiting planets. The completeness of our survey is characterized by a series of injection and recovery simulations. Our analysis of TESS 2 minute cadence and Full Frame Image (FFI) light curves recover all known TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs), as well as four new planet candidates not previously identified as TOIs. We derive an occurrence rate of

% for super-Neptunes from the FFI data. To independently validate our results, we compare our survey yield with the predicted planet yield assuming Kepler planet statistics. We consistently find a mild increase in the occurrence of super-Neptunes and a significant increase in the occurrence of Neptune-sized planets with orbital periods of 6.2–12 days when compared to their mature counterparts. The young planet distribution from our study is most consistent with evolution models describing the early contraction of hydrogen-dominated atmospheres undergoing atmospheric escape and inconsistent with heavier atmosphere models offering only mild radial contraction early on.

Abstract
We report the discovery of 15 exceptionally luminous 10 ≲ z ≲ 14 candidate galaxies discovered in the first 0.28 deg2 of JWST/NIRCam imaging from the COSMOS-Web survey. These sources span rest-frame UV magnitudes of −20.5 > M
UV > −22, and thus constitute the most intrinsically luminous z ≳ 10 candidates identified by JWST to date. Selected via NIRCam imaging, deep ground-based observations corroborate their detection and help significantly constrain their photometric redshifts. We analyze their spectral energy distributions using multiple open-source codes and evaluate the probability of low-redshift solutions; we conclude that 12/15 (80%) are likely genuine z ≳ 10 sources and 3/15 (20%) likely low-redshift contaminants. Three of our z ∼ 12 candidates push the limits of early stellar mass assembly: they have estimated stellar masses ∼ 5 × 109

At such high redshifts, the duty cycle for starbursts would be of order unity, which could cause the observed change in the shape of the UV luminosity function from a double power law to a Schechter function at z ≈ 8. Spectroscopic redshift confirmation and ensuing constraints of their masses will be critical to understand how, and if, such early massive galaxies push the limits of galaxy formation in the Lambda cold dark matter paradigm.

Abstract
Sub/millimeter galaxies are a key population for the study of galaxy evolution because the majority of star formation at high redshifts occurred in galaxies deeply embedded in dust. To search for this population, we have performed an extensive survey with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), called the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS). This survey covers 133 arcmin2 area and securely detects 180 sources at z ∼ 0.5–6 with a flux limit of ∼0.2 mJy at 1.2 mm. Here, we report the results of multiwavelength spectral energy distribution analysis of the whole ALCS sample, utilizing the observed-frame UV to millimeter photometry. We find that the majority of the ALCS sources lie on the star-forming main sequence, with a smaller fraction showing intense starburst activities. The ALCS sample contains high infrared-excess sources (

), including two extremely dust-obscured galaxies (IRX > 5). We also confirm that the ALCS sample probes a broader range in lower dust mass than conventional submillimeter galaxy samples in the same redshift range. We identify six heavily obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates that are not detected in the archival Chandra data in addition to the three X-ray AGNs reported by Uematsu et al. (2023). The inferred AGN luminosity density shows a possible excess at z = 2–3 compared with that determined from X-ray surveys below 10 keV.
