Abstract
Based on the raw material of ammonium tetramolybdate in the experiment, molybdenum trioxide was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, and the effects of different pH, hydrothermal reaction time, filling degree, and calcination temperature on molybdenum trioxide powder were studied. Meanwhile, the molybdenum trioxide powder was characterized through scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis differential scanning calorimetry analysis so as to study the morphology and phase changes during the experiment. As is evident from the research findings, MoO3 powders with uniform and suitable size, smooth and clear surface, good dispersibility, and no adhesion can be obtained at the conditions of pH = 1, 16 h hydrothermal reaction, 90% of filling degree, and 550°C of calcination temperature. In the calcination process, MoO3 crystal undergone crystal transformation and was completely transformed from h-MoO3 to α-MoO3 at the calcination temperature of 350°C.

Abstract
Photonic-integrated circuits based on erbium-doped thin film lithium niobate on insulator has attracted broad interests with insofar various waveguide amplifiers and microlasers demonstrated. Wideband operation facilitated by the broadband absorption and emission of erbium ions necessitates the functional integration of wavelength filter and multiplexer on the same chip. Here, a low-loss wavelength division multiplexer at the resonant pumping and emission wavelengths (∼1480 nm and 1530–1560 nm) of erbium ions based on angled multimode interferometer is realized in the erbium-doped thin film lithium niobate on insulator fabricated by the photolithography assisted chemomechanical etching technique. The minimum on-chip insertion losses of the fabricated device are <0.7 dB for both wavelength ranges, and a 3-dB bandwidth of >20 nm is measured at the telecom C-band. Besides, direct visualization of the multimode interference pattern by the visible upconversion fluorescence of erbium ions compares well with the simulated light propagation in the multimode interferometer. Spectral tuning of the wavelength division multiplexer by structural design is also demonstrated and discussed.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
In order to solve the contradiction between large aperture elements and high-resolution images, in this study, we propose an improved image-resolution method based on generative adversarial network (GAN). First, we analyze the imaging principle of the optical synthetic aperture. Further, we improve a super-resolution GAN; especially, this network uses a multi-scale convolutional cascade to obtain global features of the image, and a multi-scale receptive field block and residual in residual dense block are built to obtain image details. In addition, this study uses the Mish function as the activation function of the discriminator to solve the problems of neuron extreme, gradient explosion, and poor generalization ability of the model. Through simulation, the results show that the proposed method can achieve a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 30 dB compared with traditional image super-resolution reconstruction methods for synthetic aperture image. The method proposed has an improvement of 2 dB in the PSNR and 0.016 in structure similarity index measure compared with the original super-resolution GAN. Therefore, this method can effectively reduce the image distortion and improve the quality of image reconstruction.
Does the Design of Welfare Programs Stipulate Nursing Home Utilization? A Comparative Analysis of Long-Term Care Systems in Japan and Germany
Authors: Wende Danny , Karmann Alexander , Sugawara Shinya 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Japan and Germany are both facing a rapidly aging population and have similar social insurance-based long-term care systems. However, there are significant differences in utilization and costs. This paper presents a microeconomic decision model validated by regression analysis, Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition, and Data Envelopment Analysis to contrast the utilization patterns in the Japanese and German long-term care sectors. The design of the welfare programs for low-income families has been identified as one of the main reasons. In Germany, the welfare system leads to a demand curve for nursing home care that is comparable to that of an inferior good which makes external long-term care in nursing homes the more attractive, the poorer the respective households are. In addition, the resulting inelastic demand of the population groups in need of social benefits seem to reduces competition among Germany’s long-term care providers, which is associated with a loss of efficiency in how they use production factors. In Japan, this negative outcome is avoided by a comfort segmentation in the nursing home market.

Authors: Uspal Neil G. , Nichols Julia , Strelitz Bonnie , Bradford Miranda C. , Rutman Lori E. 
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE
To determine if electronic medical record (EMR) changes and implementation of a study on firearm storage practices changed identification of firearm exposure in children presenting to a pediatric emergency department (PED) with mental health complaints. We also sought to determine the accuracy of information collected on firearm storage practices.

METHODS
Retrospective study of EMR documentation of firearm exposure in PED patients with mental health complaints from January 20, 2015 until November 20, 2017. EMR changes occurred on January 20, 2016 and the firearms study began on February 13, 2016. The primary outcome was documentation of firearm exposure. Secondary outcomes were documentation of unsafe firearm storage practices. We also examined differences between clinical and research documentation of unsafe firearm storage practices post-intervention. We compared groups using descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests. We used statistical process control to examine the relationship between interventions and changes in outcomes.

RESULTS
5582 encounters were examined. Identification of firearm exposure increased from 11 to 17% postintervention. Identification of unsafe storage practices increased from 1.9% to 4.4% across all encounters. Special cause variation in both metrics occurred concurrently with the interventions. Postintervention, unsafe firearms storage practices in firearm owning families were under-identified (39% identified as not triple-safe in clinical data vs 75% in research data).

CONCLUSIONS
EMR changes and implementation of a firearms study improved identification of firearm exposure and unsafe storage practices in families of PED patients being evaluated for mental health complaints. However, unsafe storage practices continued to be under-identified in firearm-owning families.

Authors: Ceyhan Başaran Ceyda , Küsek Mustafa 
Published: April 2024

Aims: The aim of the study is to isolate the bacterial agent causing crown gall disease in Kahramanmaraş and its surrounding provinces, determine its prevalence in the region, and conduct its identification.
Material and methods: Between June and September of 2017-2019, strains obtained from the shoots and galls of vines showing symptoms of galls in vineyards in Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman, Kilis, Gaziantep, and Şanlıurfa provinces were subjected to pathogenicity tests, classical, molecular, and MALDI-TOF MS identification.
Results and Discussion: In this study, the prevalence of crown gall disease in 46 vineyards showing disease symptoms was determined as follows: Kahramanmaraş 76.47%, Adıyaman 75%, Gaziantep 50%, Kilis 33.33%, and Şanlıurfa 20%. From the 46 contaminated vineyards in the study area, 24 pathogenic of R. vitis strains were obtained. In the pathogenicity test conducted with R. vitis strains on the Hatun Parmağı grape variety under greenhouse conditions, the most virulent strains were determined based on the weights of the galls formed, and they were identified as CU52-3/2, CU39-11/5, and CU39-8/1. According to classical tests, 13 strains showed 100% similarity to R. vitis, while molecular characterization with R. vitis-specific primers revealed that 17 strains had the virA gene, 13 strains had the pehA gene, 10 strsains had the virF gene, and 6 strains had the octopine-type plasmid. Ten strains, representing the sample, were identicated as R. vitis through MALDI-TOF MS analysis. This study revealed the impact of pathogenic strains with different virulences on the same grape variety. In line with this, of control methods against highly virulent bacterial agents in reducing losses in plants can be investigated for their applicability in field and orchard areas in subsequent studies.
Conclusions: Research on different grape varieties is essential to develop varieties that are resistant or tolerant to R. vitis, the pathogen causing this prevalent disease in Turkish viticulture.
