Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the early diagnosis of broken rotor bars (BRBs) in induction motors (IMs), the fault sideband frequency under no-load or light-load conditions is weak and difficult to extract. Meanwhile, existing methods for obtaining speed information rely on speed sensors, which increases hardware costs. To address this issue, a speed estimation method has been adopted, and a novel diagnostic technique combination method has been investigated in this paper. This method utilizes the rectification technique as the demodulation technique, and the Goertzel algorithm is employed as the spectral analysis tool. The stator current is demodulated by the rectification technique, and the fundamental frequency component is converted into a DC component, which effectively suppresses the impact of the fundamental spectrum leakage on BRB fault diagnosis and speed estimation. To verify the investigated method, the experiments are carried out on two datasets obtained from the Sao Paulo University and the experimental platform, under different severity of BRBs and loads. The results show that the investigated method can obviously extract the fault characteristic frequency, and it is easy to implement with less computation, strong real-time performance, and low hardware cost.

Abstract
In view of the problems that the terrain and geological conditions at the portals of railway tunnels are complex, the routine inspection of the front slopes drainage ditches is rather difficult, and it is also hard to efficiently handle the water ponding problem, this paper proposes a method for evaluating the water ponding hazard of the front slopes drainage ditches in railway tunnels based on an improved Unet. Firstly, by adding the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) during each down - sampling process of the Unet model to enhance the segmentation accuracy of the model, and replacing the original backbone network ResNet (Residual Network) of the Unet model with the ShuffleNet v2 network to reduce the number of model parameters and improve the segmentation efficiency of the model, the CS - Unet model in this paper is constructed. Subsequently, this paper uses the self - built high - definition unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image dataset of railway drainage ditches to conduct sufficient ablation experiments and comparison experiments on the CS-Unet model. The experimental results show that, compared with the original model, with an improvement of 2.52%, 1.97%, and 2.18% in Accuracy, mPA, and mIoU metrics, respectively. Furthermore, the number of parameters is also reduced to 23.7% of that of the original model. This further confirms the effectiveness of the improvement scheme in this paper and the superiority of the model’s segmentation performance. Finally, based on the model segmentation results, a hazard assessment method for the proportion of water ponding area was constructed, and a quantitative assessment experiment was carried out on some railway drainage ditch water ponding image data to verify the feasibility of the method. Our proposed CS-Unet model provides a new idea for the accurate detection and scientific assessment of railway drainage ditch water ponding diseases and diseases in similar scenarios, which is of great significance for improving the overall efficiency of railway disease inspection and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the railway system.
FEM investigation of the effect of structural bonding patterns on masonry walls strengthened by FRP

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Masonry, an age-old and extensively employed construction material across the globe, possesses inherent brittleness that renders it vulnerable to seismic pressures. To bolster the structural resilience of masonry walls, the integration of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets stands as a notable method. In order to comprehend the behavior of structures under diverse boundary conditions, numerical analysis assumes paramount importance. In this study, a comprehensive computational analysis to explore the impact of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets on masonry walls is conducted, all the while incorporating varied brick bond patterns. Specifically, the examination delves into three distinct FRP aspect ratios and investigates their influence alongside six vertical pre-compression levels, employing the Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling technique. The investigation encompasses six distinctive bond patterns: Header, Stretcher, Flemish, English, Herringbone, and Plus, each representing a unique structural arrangement. The brick walls are modeled utilizing a streamlined micro-modeling methodology within the widely adopted finite element software Abaqus. The application of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) involves diagonal placement upon the masonry walls. The subsequent analysis involves subjecting the constructed models to concentrated in-plane loads. The outcomes, covering aspects such as compressive strength, minimum principal stresses, force-displacement characteristics, and failure prediction according to the Tsai-Hill criterion, are meticulously scrutinized and discussed. The findings of the investigation distinctly highlight the superiority of certain bond patterns over others in terms of structural performance. Among these, the Herringbone, Plus, and Flemish bond patterns emerge as the most effective, outperforming their counterparts across various assessed parameters.
Fast Bayesian inference for neutrino non-standard interactions at dark matter direct detection experiments
Authors: Amaral Dorian W P , Liang Shixiao , Qin Juehang , Tunnell Christopher 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Multi-dimensional parameter spaces are commonly encountered in physics theories that go beyond the standard model. However, they often possess complicated posterior geometries that are expensive to traverse using techniques traditional to astroparticle physics. Several recent innovations, which are only beginning to make their way into this field, have made navigating such complex posteriors possible. These include GPU acceleration, automatic differentiation, and neural-network-guided reparameterization. We apply these advancements to dark matter direct detection experiments in the context of non-standard neutrino interactions and benchmark their performances against traditional nested sampling techniques when conducting Bayesian inference. Compared to nested sampling alone, we find that these techniques increase performance for both nested sampling and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, accelerating inference by factors of

∼

100

and

∼

60

, respectively. As nested sampling also evaluates the Bayesian evidence, these advancements can be exploited to improve model comparison performance while retaining compatibility with existing implementations that are widely used in the natural sciences. Using these techniques, we perform the first scan in the neutrino non-standard interactions parameter space for direct detection experiments whereby all parameters are allowed to vary simultaneously. We expect that these advancements are broadly applicable to other areas of astroparticle physics featuring multi-dimensional parameter spaces.
Temporality and justice in mining impacted regions

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The accelerating impacts of climate change call for urgent action to decarbonize our socio-technical systems based on coal and oil. Frequently, these shifts involve decisions made in distal capital cities, or distant countries, that have significant impacts on resource-based communities. Among those impacts, we focus on temporal justice: the disjuncture between the timeframes of urgent decisions about transition options to meet policy objectives and the timeframes experienced by residents of regions affected by those decisions. This article reveals how these impacts fit within trajectories of change in energy-related resource-extracting regions through six case examples in Australasia (Hunter Valley, Latrobe Valley, West Coast region of New Zealand), Canada (Alberta), and Africa (Ghana, Zimbabwe). Each setting is at a different point in the mine lifecycle (from exploration and planning of new mines, through to closure, rehabilitation and relinquishment). Included are places where residents mourn the past glory days of coal to regions where closure is imminent, to regions wary of the rush to start new mines for energy transition minerals to support increases in electrification. Collectively, the case studies illustrate the varied complexity of energy transitions and how multiple forms of justice (environmental, procedural, recognition, restorative, distributive and intergenerational) shape the key issues and required responses to transition challenges. The cases highlight the notion that a capacity for local communities to respond to these changes is impacted by embedded senses of identity, agency in the transition process, and a legacy of past activity and injustices. Because each of these factors takes time to work through, there is a disconnect between the urgency of transition due to growing global impacts and the time required for host communities to become effective participants in their own local transitions.
Sontag’s Classical World
Authors: Cox Fiona 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Harnessing the approaches towards culture and the ancient world that she articulates in Against Interpretation, where she rejects stultifying, cerebral, sterile readings of texts, in favour of the seductive pleasures of the life of the mind, Sontag shows us ‘the erotics of art’ in practice within her novel The Volcano Lover. The novel depicts the relationship between Emma Hamilton, her husband and her lover, Nelson, but it is also a meditation upon the ways in which approaches to the ancient world, and to culture more generally, become part of the fabric of one’s very being, as exemplified particularly by the Cavaliere, Emma’s husband, whose attitude to culture seems very similar to that of Sontag herself. It is in The Volcano Lover that we are able to see how her liberated mind relishes the intertextual richness and possibilities of the eighteenth century and to consider what we may continue to learn from this today.
Art and the Nourishment of Consciousness
Authors: Epstein Katharina 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This essay discusses the theme of alienation from the senses which Sontag develops in ‘In Plato’s Cave’ and other essays and juxtaposes it with Plato’s and Kafka’s elaborations of the same theme. To Sontag, this alienation is the condition humaine she identifies for her generation. In ‘Plato’s Cave’, Sontag uses the Platonic cave allegory as a springboard to warn about decaying senses and sensibilities. Her oblique and associative take on Plato’s cave allegory is selective to a point where ‘Plato’s Cave’ might also be termed Kafka’s cave, a space where modern matrices of perception have fogged up our vision. Sontag suggests a therapy for alienation: encountering art, she contends, has the power to nourish consciousness and to restore both our aesthetic and our ethical sensibilities.
Figuring Death in Classical Athens
Authors: Clifford Emily 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Conversation One opens with discussion of an extract from Plato’s myth of Er in the Republic, highlighting the questions that underpin the book. It sets out the book’s purpose and claims, approach and methodology, scope, and contribution. The section on scope outlines the significance of the cultural, intellectual, historical framework within which the media examined in the book were produced and received. The section on contribution situates the book within two areas of scholarship, work on death and work on art and text (including their role in idea-formation and the value of a multi-media approach).
Niobes
Authors: Clifford Emily 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Conversation Three uses the figure of Niobe to delve further into themes of bodies, stone, and exemplarity. Focusing on Niobe’s appearance in Sophocles’ Antigone and on a fifth-century Athenian mixing bowl (krater) from Sicily, it considers how Niobe’s body-turned-stone prompts reflection not only on what it might be like to die (to transform from a person to a corpse) but also on what it means to see someone else die. In both examples, bodies that observe death seem to experience it not just vicariously but also physically, reproducing material transformation in their own body and so suggesting the possibility of virtual experience in response to another’s example.
Victory, Victory, Victory?
Authors: Clifford Emily 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the west frieze of the temple of Athena Nike, incorporating details from the rest of the temple and sanctuary. It looks first at the relationships between visibility and visualization of death: what does it take to notice death in a sculpted battle scene? Then it considers how the sacred-mythological backdrop contributes to meditation on death. Finally, it discusses the image of a trophy, which is set within an ongoing battle scene and so is an ambivalent symbol of crisis. How does the trophy draw attention to existential stakes within and beyond the figured scene? It is likely that the temple was substantially built and completed in the late 420s bce, and so was viewed (and perhaps conceived) against the backdrop of not just the Peloponnesian War but the plague that struck Athens at the start of that decade.
Death and the Plague in Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War
Authors: Clifford Emily 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter treats Thucydides’ account of the first outbreak of the plague of Athens (History 2.47–54) as exemplary of a wider historiographical and existential discourse—a discourse with implications not just for the knowability of death but also for its suitability as a topic in Thucydidean history. It begins by examining how Thucydides foregrounds problems of exteriority when thinking about disease. Next, it considers questions of generality: to what extent can (and should) particular incidences of disease and death be subsumed into a single account? Central to this section is a consideration of mass death and the distinctive way in which it might shape epistemological reflection. Finally, it considers the poetics of Thucydides’ account. What does it do to combine a literary register worthy of τὸ μυθῶδες with an empirical one?
Figuring (Out) Death
Authors: Clifford Emily 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Conversation Four puts the chapters in conversation, delving into three themes that pull them together and call attention to some of their differences: distance (the sense in which death lies beyond the experience of the living); particularity and generality; and virtual reality (the status of art and literature as created artefacts, artefacts that offer a virtual means of encountering and exploring death from the outside). It then considers the extent to which the phenomenon of culturally mediated thinking about death that the chapters suggest might be historically situated, acknowledging the immediate and wider audiences of the material studied. It ends with emphasis on not just the cultural particularity of Athenian ways of grappling with death, but also the commonality that might be found across different times and places in the necessity of exploring death imaginatively. It concludes with an example from the contemporary arts: Trevor Guthrie’s Myself as a Specimen (2009).
Endovascular treatment of a giant arteria lusoria aneurysm in a young female with Marfan syndrome
Authors: Fraund-Cremer Sandra , Rusch Rene , Uebing Anselm , Voges Inga , Schäfer Philipp 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Aneurysms of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) are rare, but constitute a potentially lethal condition, especially with concomitant Marfan syndrome (MFS).
A 27-year-old female with confirmed MFS presented with a relevant progression of a known aneurysm of an ARSA in magnetic resonance imaging. The patient had undergone valve-sparing aortic root replacement (David procedure) 4 months prior. After interdisciplinary discussion, she underwent endovascular exclusion of the aneurysm using a combination of established vascular plugs and novel shape memory polymer embolization plugs to fill the large ARSA aneurysm volume. The shape memory polymer embolization plugs expand in the vessel to a porous scaffold, designed to support thrombus formation throughout its structure. The polymer is also radiolucent, which minimizes artifact and facilitates follow-up imaging.
Development of a strategy for the treatment of ARSA aneurysms is challenging and different surgical, endovascular, and combined approaches have been published. Interdisciplinary discussion is crucial to minimize the overall risk and trauma. In our case of a young female and new mother, an endovascular approach was successfully and safely performed. The future need for surgery due to concomitant MFS is expected.
AnnCovDB: a manually curated annotation database for mutations in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been circulating and adapting within the human population for &gt;4 years. A large number of mutations have occurred in the viral genome, resulting in significant variants known as variants of concern (VOCs) and variants of interest (VOIs). The spike (S) protein harbors many of the characteristic mutations of VOCs and VOIs, and significant efforts have been made to explore functional effects of the mutations in the S protein, which can cause or contribute to viral infection, transmission, immune evasion, pathogenicity, and illness severity. However, the knowledge and understanding are dispersed throughout various publications, and there is a lack of a well-structured database for functional annotation that is based on manual curation. AnnCovDB is a database that provides manually curated functional annotations for mutations in the S protein of SARS-CoV-2. Mutations in the S protein carried by at least 8000 variants in the GISAID were chosen, and the mutations were then utilized as query keywords to search in the PubMed database. The searched publications revealed that 2093 annotation entities for 205 single mutations and 93 multiple mutations were manually curated. These entities were organized into multilevel hierarchical categories for user convenience. For example, one annotation entity of N501Y mutation was ‘Infectious cycle➔Attachment➔ACE2 binding affinity➔Increase’. AnnCovDB can be used to query specific mutations and browse through function annotation entities.

Abstract

Aims
Apolipoprotein (Apo) C3 has been associated with incident coronary heart disease and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Whether ApoC3 levels predict risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on optimized statin treatment is unknown.

Methods
ApoC3 was measured by mass spectrometry at baseline (n=11,956) and after 4 months’ treatment (M4; n=11 176) with alirocumab or placebo in the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial. Patients with fasting triglycerides &gt;400 mg/dL were excluded. The association of baseline ApoC3 with risk of MACE or death was assessed in post hoc adjusted Cox regression models and spline analyses adjusted for treatment and ApoB. In adjusted models in the alirocumab group we determined association of ApoC3 change from baseline to M4 with subsequent risk of MACE and death.

Results
Median (Q1, Q3) baseline ApoC3 concentration was 85 (65, 113) mg/L. With adjustment for ApoB, baseline ApoC3 showed no clinically meaningful relationship to risk of MACE or death in spline analyses and no association with MACE (P=0.89) or death (P=0.70) in Cox regression analyses. Alirocumab reduced ApoC3 modestly by median –10 (–27, –5) mg/L (P&lt;0.0001) and reduced MACE (10.1% vs 12.1%; P=0.0006) and death (3.5% vs 4.2%; P=0.045) versus placebo. However, the change in ApoC3 on alirocumab did not predict subsequent MACE or death.

Conclusion
In patients with recent ACS on optimized statins without severe hypertriglyceridemia, neither baseline ApoC3 (accounting for ApoB) nor ApoC3 change with alirocumab predicted MACE or death. It is uncertain whether targeted therapies producing larger reductions in ApoC3 from higher baseline levels will affect cardiovascular risk.
Differentiating mechanism from outcome for ancestry-assortative mating in admixed human populations
Authors: Massey Dashiell J , Szpiech Zachary A , Goldberg Amy 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Population genetic theory, and the empirical methods built upon it, often assumes that individuals pair randomly for reproduction. However, natural populations frequently violate this assumption, which may potentially confound genome-wide association studies, selection scans, and demographic inference. Within several recently admixed human populations, empirical genetic studies have reported a correlation in global ancestry proportion between spouses, referred to as ancestry-assortative mating. Here, we use forward genomic simulations to link correlations in global ancestry proportion between mates to the underlying mechanistic mate choice process. We consider the impacts of 2 types of mate choice model, using either ancestry-based preferences or social groups as the basis for mate pairing. We find that multiple mate choice models can produce the same correlations in global ancestry proportion between spouses; however, we also highlight alternative analytic approaches and circumstances in which these models may be distinguished. With this work, we seek to highlight potential pitfalls when interpreting correlations in empirical data as evidence for a particular model of human mating practices and to offer suggestions toward development of new best practices for analysis of human ancestry-assortative mating.
