Published: March 2024

Abstract
The article deals with the issue of planning the development of mining operations in the context of a changing demand for iron ore products. One of the problems regarding iron ore deposit mining at the current stage of open mining development presented in this work. It includes the following: mines operate with a constant operational capacity while iron ore products price and demand significant variation is observed in mineral markets. In these conditions, there is a possibility of a significant increase in economic efficiency of mining due to the implementation of a flexible change in the main parameters of the open-pit, which is achieved by a justified correction of the development of mining operations by changing the dimensions, parameters and design of the active part of the working area in an open-pit. A technique for planning the development of mining operations in an open-pit has been developed, which differs from the known ones by the possibility of regulating the main parameters of the open-pit under conditions of a changing demand for iron ore products, and also takes into account the interrelationship of mining method parameters ensuring a basic ore stock ready for excavation in the open-pit.

Abstract
Traditional corrosion inhibitors have been frequently used for metal protection against strong acids. However, most of them are hazardous compounds with high costs. Therefore, due to the strict environmentally friendly regulations, green and low-cost compounds from renewable sources have gained high consideration in recent applications. In the present study, the Arachis hypogaea shell extract, commonly called groundnut, a cost-effective was selected to inhibit API X 65 pipeline steel corrosion in 1 mol·L−1 H2SO4 solution. The Arachis hypogaea shell composition was examined by FTIR analysis. The Arachis hypogaea shell on pipeline steel in H2SO4 solutions was studied via gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization, and surface analysis (SEM and EDX). Electron donor atoms present in the Arachis hypogaea shell extract molecules is responsible for its adsorption on the surface of the metal. Experimental study shows that with increasing Arachis hypogaea shell concentrations, the inhibition tendency increased and reached 98.84% at 4 g L−1 after 24 h. Arachis hypogaea shell extract behaved as mixed-type inhibitor, and the surface coverage fits the Langmuir isotherm, signifying that the steel surface was covered by a monolayer of inhibitor molecules without intermolecular interactions. SEM analysis shows that Arachis hypogaea molecule adsorption on the metal surface reduced considerably its dissolution rate resulting in a smooth and clean surface with few damaged areas. The use of water for extraction of Arachis hypogaea shell exhibiting inhibition efficiency, non-toxic, and cost-effective than other green inhibitors, proposes the Arachis hypogaea shell as an excellent green inhibitor for API X 65 steel corrosion in 1 mol·L−1 H2SO4 solution.

Abstract
The study of photovoltaic solar cells has been an exciting field of research because of their environmentally friendly nature. Scientists are continuously searching for new methods to develop solar cells that are highly efficient and cost-effective. One promising option is the use of Copper Antimony Sulphide (CuSbS2) based ternary compound semiconductor in ultrathin film photovoltaic cells. This material has a high absorption coefficient, low cost, and is readily available in the earth’s crust. These characteristics make it an ideal candidate for use as a thin-film absorber layer in solar cells. In this work, FTO/CdS/In2S3/CuSbS2/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au device is proposed to improve the efficiency of experimentally designed CuSbS2-based thin film solar cells using numerical modeling. Device simulation was carried out using SCAPS-1D software, and the illumination spectrum used for this optimization was 1.5 AM. The simulated results from SCAPS-1D were compared to the experimental data. After optimizing the device parameters all the electrical parameters of the solar cell were improved. The optimized CuSbS2-based device shows power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.11% with short circuit current density (Jsc) of 20.96 mA cm−2, open circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.23 V, and fill factor (FF) of 81.84%. Based on the simulation results, it is possible to increase the performance of the device by varying different parameters such as the defect density of each layer, interfacial defect density, thickness, and doping concentration.
Well balanced pick-up assembly for double pulsed magnetic field apparatus
Authors: Bolzoni F , Cabassi R 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The generation of high magnetic pulsed fields involves several technological challenges. State-of-the-art field peak intensities can be achieved by means of double-coil systems and, as for other configurations, a special pick-up system is required to clean the signal from spurious components and artifacts. However, the design of a well-balanced pick-up for double-coil systems is not a trivial task because of the different mutual inductance of the two field coils. In general the pick-up can be optimized for one coil only, but not for both. Here we present a new pick-up concept specifically aimed at solving this problem, based on an active compensation bridge and a special compensating coil located outside field-generating coils. Besides yielding a good balance of the signal over all pulse duration, a further advantage is an additional increase in the signal-to-noise ratio.

Authors: Wang Tao , Wang Xi , Fu Guoqiang , Lu Caijiang 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In the theoretical study of vacuum-powered artificial muscles, the inhomogeneous and nonlinear deformation properties of the skin have not been fully investigated, and the effect of the skin material on their performance has not been considered in the model. This work presents a theoretical analysis for the support-skin vacuum-powered artificial muscles and extends the skin to more general flexible materials, which endows the results with a strong generalization ability. The influence of various factors including structural parameters, axial force, negative pressure, and material parameter on the skin deformation are comprehensively analyzed, which is directly related to the actuation behaviors. Besides, the theoretical analysis is able to make an accurate prediction of the wrinkling behavior of the skin, including the critical boundary and wrinkling region. The experimental verification on the theoretical predicted configuration and wrinkled area of the skin have been carried out, which verifies the correctness of the results of the theoretical analysis. We believe that this work will provide an effective way for guiding the design and analyzing the actuation properties of such artificial muscles.
Generation model meets swin transformer for unsupervised low-dose CT reconstruction

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) has evolved into an indispensable tool for clinical diagnosis. Reducing radiation dose crucially minimizes adverse effects but may introduce noise and artifacts in reconstructed images, affecting diagnostic processes for physicians. Scholars have tackled deep learning training instability by exploring diffusion models. Given the scarcity of clinical data, we propose the unsupervised image domain score generation model (UISG) for low-dose CT reconstruction. During training, normal-dose CT images are utilized as network inputs to train a score-based generative model that captures the prior distribution of CT images. In the iterative reconstruction, the initial CT image is obtained using a filtered back-projection algorithm. Subsequently, diffusion-based prior, high-frequency convolutional sparse coding prior, and data-consistency steps are employed to obtain the high-quality reconstructed image. Given the global characteristics of noise, the score network of the diffusion model utilizes a swin transformer structure to enhance the model’s ability to capture long-range dependencies. Furthermore, convolutional sparse coding is applied exclusively to the high-frequency components of the image, to prevent over-smoothing or the loss of crucial anatomical details during the denoising process. Quantitative and qualitative results indicate that UISG outperforms competing methods in terms of denoising and generalization performance.

Abstract
The prevalence of depressive symptoms has rapidly accelerated among recent US adolescent birth cohorts, yet there remains little understanding of trends among racialized and minoritized groups. These groups may experience depressive symptoms due to the deleterious effects of structural racism. Using 2005-2020 Monitoring the Future survey data, we examine all racialized groups using within-group analyses to observe trends in high levels of depressive symptoms across cohorts. Generally, across racialized groups and ages, the odds of high depressive symptoms increased in recent birth cohorts. For example, among 15- to 16-year-old students racialized as American Indian or Alaska Native and Black Hispanic/Latine, the 2003-2006 birth cohort had 3.08 (95% CI, 2.00-4.76) and 6.95 (95% CI, 2.70-17.88) times’ higher odds, respectively, of high depressive symptoms as compared with the 1987-1990 birth cohorts. Moreover, in a given year, 15- to 16-year-olds generally experienced the highest depressive symptoms compared with 13- to 14-year-olds and 17- to 18-year-olds, suggesting that age effects peaked during midadolescence. Depressive symptoms increased among US adolescents by birth cohort, within all racialized and minoritized groups assessed. Public health efforts to reduce disparities may consider barriers such as structural racism that may impact the mental health of racialized/minoritized adolescents while increasing access to culturally competent mental health providers and school-based services.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Induction of beige fat for grafting is an emerging transplantation strategy. However, safety concerns associated with pharmaceutical interventions limit its wider application. Moreover, because beige fat is a special type of fat with strong metabolic functions, its effect on the metabolism of recipients after grafting has not been explored in the plastic surgery domain.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to explore whether cold-induced inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) transplantation has a higher retention rate and beneficial effects on recipient metabolism.

Methods
C57/BL6 mice were subjected to cold stimulation for 48 hours to induce the browning of iWAT and harvested immediately. Subsequently, each mouse received a transplant of 0.2 mL cold-induced iWAT or normal iWAT. Fat grafts and recipients' iWAT, epididymal adipose tissue, and brown adipose tissue were harvested at 8 weeks after operation. Immunofluorescence staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blot were used for histological and molecular analysis.

Results
Cold-induced iWAT grafting had a higher mean [standard error of the mean] retention rate (67.33% [1.74%] vs 55.83% [2.94%], P &lt; .01) and more satisfactory structural integrity than normal iWAT. Histological changes identified improved adipose tissue homeostasis after cold challenge, including abundant smaller adipocytes, higher levels of adipogenesis, angiogenesis, and proliferation, but lower levels of fibrosis. More importantly, cold-induced iWAT grafting suppressed the inflammation of epididymal adipose tissue caused by conventional fat grafting, and activated the glucose metabolism and thermogenic activity of recipients' adipose tissues.

Conclusions
Cold-induced iWAT grafting is an effective nonpharmacological intervention strategy to improve the retention rate and homeostasis of grafts. Furthermore, it improves the adverse effects caused by traditional fat grafting, while also conferring metabolic benefits.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
This study investigated the link between the adapted diabetes complication severity index at the time of type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis and diabetes-induced dementia risk in elderly patients. Elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (age ≥ 60) were matched using propensity score matching. Cox regression was used to determine dementia hazard ratios; Kaplan–Meier method to assess cumulative incidence. The cohort included 256 214 elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Adapted diabetes complication severity index ≥ 1 showed higher dementia risk (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.30; 95% confidence interval: 1.27–1.34), increasing by 1.17-fold per adapted diabetes complication severity index point. Dementia risk rose progressively across adapted diabetes complication severity index scores (P &lt; 0.0001). Higher adapted diabetes complication severity index scores at the time of type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis elevated dementia risk in elderly patients. Adapted diabetes complication severity index ≥ 1 is linked to increased dementia risk. Adapted diabetes complication severity index evaluation at the time of type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis could predict risk, aiding early interventions. Effective diabetes management is crucial for reducing dementia risk in this population.

SummaryTreatment decisions in healthcare often carry lifelong consequences that can be challenging to foresee. As such, tools that visualize and estimate outcome after different lifetime treatment strategies are lacking and urgently needed to support clinical decision-making in the setting of rapidly evolving healthcare systems, with increasingly numerous potential treatments. In this regard, microsimulation models may prove to be valuable additions to current risk-prediction models. Notable advantages of microsimulation encompass input from multiple data sources, the ability to move beyond time-to-first-event analysis, accounting for multiple types of events and generating projections of lifelong outcomes. This review aims to clarify the concept of microsimulation, also known as individualized state-transition models, and help clinicians better understand its potential in clinical decision-making. A practical example of a patient with heart valve disease is used to illustrate key components of microsimulation models, such as health states, transition probabilities, input parameters (e.g. evidence-based risks of events) and various aspects of mortality. Finally, this review focuses on future efforts needed in microsimulation to allow for increasing patient-tailoring of the models by extending the general structure with patient-specific prediction models and translating them to meaningful, user-friendly tools that may be used by both clinician and patient to support clinical decision-making.
A long-read draft assembly of the Chinese mantis (Mantodea: Mantidae:Tenodera sinensis) genome reveals patterns of ion channel gain and loss across Arthropoda
Authors: Goldberg Jay K , Godfrey R Keating , Barrett Meghan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractPraying mantids (Mantodea: Mantidae) are iconic insects that have captivated biologists for decades, especially the species with cannibalistic copulatory behavior. This behavior has been cited as evidence that insects lack nociceptive capacities and cannot feel pain; however, this behaviorally driven hypothesis has never been rigorously tested at the genetic or functional level. To enable future studies of nociceptive capabilities in mantids, we sequenced and assembled a draft genome of the Chinese praying mantis (Tenodera sinensis) and identified multiple classes of nociceptive ion channels by comparison to orthologous gene families in Arthropoda. Our assembly—produced using PacBio HiFi reads—is fragmented (total size = 3.03 Gb; N50 = 1.8 Mb; 4,966 contigs), but is highly complete with respect to gene content (BUSCO complete = 98.7% [odb10_insecta]). The size of our assembly is substantially larger than that of most other insects, but is consistent with the size of other mantid genomes. We found that most families of nociceptive ion channels are present in the T. sinensis genome; that they are most closely related to those found in the damp-wood termite (Zootermopsis nevadensis); and that some families have expanded in T. sinensis while others have contracted relative to nearby lineages. Our findings suggest that mantids are likely to possess nociceptive capabilities and provide a foundation for future experimentation regarding ion channel functions and their consequences for insect behavior.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the cognitive functioning of formerly incarcerated older adults compared to their never-incarcerated counterparts, focusing on immediate and delayed verbal recall.

Methods
Data are from 2,003 respondents who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health—Parent Study (AHPS; ages 47–82, mean age 62). AHPS participants were administered word recall memory exercises to the parent respondent from the Rey Auditory-Verbal administered Learning Test, including (a) 90-s (immediate or short-term verbal memory), (b) 60-s recall tests (delayed or long-term verbal memory), and (c) combined word recall on the 90-s and 60-s tests.

Results
Adjusting for control variables, respondents who reported prior incarceration had a lower rate of verbal recall on the combined word recall (incidence risk ratio [IRR] = 0.915, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.840, 0.997) and immediate word recall (IRR = 0.902, 95% CI = 0.817, 0.996). When restricting the sample to respondents over age 60, prior incarceration was associated with lower combined word recall (IRR = 0.847, 95% CI = 0.752, 0.954), immediate word recall (IRR = 0.857, 95% CI = 0.762, 0.963), and delayed word recall (IRR = 0.834, 95% CI = 0.713, 0.974).

Discussion
This study underscores the adverse impact of prior incarceration on cognitive functioning in the older adult population, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and support for formerly incarcerated older adults. The results reinforce the importance of addressing the long-term consequences of incarceration, especially as individuals enter older adulthood.

Abstract
Kids SIPsmartER is a 6-month behavioral and health literacy intervention effective at reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake among middle school students and their caregivers in the rural Appalachian region. This exploratory mixed methods study utilized a convergent parallel design to assess participant acceptability of a school-based curriculum for students and a text messaging program for caregivers. Acceptability was assessed using surveys (873 students and 453 caregivers), five focus groups (34 students) and telephone interviews (22 caregivers). Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, and qualitative data were content coded. On a 5-point scale, average quantitative survey acceptability ratings ranged from 2.7 to 3.3 among three student-rated questions and 4.1 to 4.2 among four caregiver-rated questions. Qualitative focus group findings suggested that students preferred curricular activities that were hands-on and involved social interaction, while caregiver interview results showed high acceptability of the text messaging program’s design, including usability, content messages and personalization. Students and caregivers reported similar program benefits: increased knowledge of SSBs and health risks, increased awareness of SSB behaviors and support to make beverage behavior changes. Results from this study can be used to understand Kids SIPsmartER’s effectiveness data, communicate the intervention’s acceptability with stakeholders and plan for future implementation studies.
