AbstractFleas in the genus Ctenocephalides serve as biological vectors or intermediate hosts of microorganisms such as bacteria, rickettsia, protozoa and helminths. Ctenocephalides felis has a worldwide distribution, while C. orientis has long been considered as a subspecies of C. felis in Asia. To help the morphological recognition of these two species and further explore their differences, we used the geometric morphometric approach applied to the head. Both sexes were examined. Five anatomical landmarks of the head were used, and to capture the curvature of the front head, 10 semilandmarks were added. There was a consistent difference in species classification accuracy when considering landmarks only versus their combination with semilandmarks, suggesting the importance of the curve of the head as a taxonomic signal. Using or not the labels in the reclassification analyses, the head shape allowed by itself almost perfect recognition of the two species, in both sexes, even after adjustment for prior probabilities. The same approach disclosed a high level of sexual size and shape dimorphism in both species. The contribution of size variation to the discrimination by shape was much more important between sexes (from 27% to 45%) than between species (from 0.7% to 7.1%). Nevertheless, in our data, size never could represent a way to reliably recognise the sex of an individual, even less its species. Geographical variation in head shape could only be explored for the C. orientis sample. No significant correlation of morphometric variation with geography could be detected, which would be consistent with gene flow between Thai provinces. The geometric morphometric approach of the flea head, when it incorporates head curves, is a promising tool for rapid, economical, and accurate species and sex identification. It is, therefore, a useful tool for future epidemiological and demographic studies.
Is patient‐reported symptom onset associated with odontogenic infection severity?
Authors: Neal Timothy W. , Schlieve Thomas 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIntroductionThe purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relation between odontogenic infection severity score (OISS) and the time interval from patient‐reported symptom onset to emergency department (ED) presentation. The working hypothesis was that higher OISSs would be found in patients who developed symptoms and delayed ED presentation compared with patients who presented earlier.Materials and MethodsThe study population was composed of consecutive patients who were admitted to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and surgically treated in the operating room for severe odontogenic infections from January 2016 to December 2020. Odontogenic infection severity was measured using a numerical severity index. Three cohort groups were predefined to evaluate the relation between patient‐reported symptom onset in days and OISS.ResultsThere were 115 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in the OISSs between the three cohorts. In patients who received antibiotics prior to ED presentation, there was no difference in OISS. Male sex and diabetes diagnosis were related to higher OISSs.ConclusionsPatient‐reported symptom onset is unrelated to OISS in patients treated surgically for severe odontogenic infections. Other patient‐specific factors such as diabetes diagnosis are related to higher OISSs.

AbstractBackgroundThe urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) correlates well with the 24‐h urine protein test (24‐h UPT) and is a reliable indicator of proteinuria. However, in nephrotic syndrome, the correlation between the UPCR and the 24‐h UPT tends to decrease. To address this, we introduced the fractional excretion of total protein (FETP), which reflects serum total protein and creatinine levels because severe hypoproteinemia and/or elevated serum creatinine levels tend to occur under these conditions. The 24‐h UPT corrected for body surface area (BSA) (24‐h UPT/BSA) was used to take body size into consideration. The correlation coefficients for 24‐h UPT/BSA and FETP and 24‐h UPT/BSA and UPCR were calculated. The statistical significance of the differences between these coefficients was also calculated.MethodsThirty‐six pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome were included in this study. The FETP was calculated as total protein clearance/creatinine clearance (%). Correlation coefficients were calculated for 24‐h UPT/BSA and FETP and 24‐h UPT/BSA and UPCR. The statistical significance of the differences between these coefficients was also calculated.ResultsThe mean ± standard error of FETP was 0.11% ± 0.013%. The correlation coefficients of FETP and UPCR with 24‐h UPT/BSA were 0.91 and 0.81, respectively. The FETP demonstrated a significantly stronger correlation with 24‐h UPT/BSA than with UPCR (p = 0.01).ConclusionsThe FETP correlated more strongly with 24‐h UPT/BSA than with UPCR in patients with nephrotic syndrome. The FETP is a reliable indicator of proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome, especially in patients with severe hypoproteinemia or elevated serum creatinine levels.

AbstractManagement practices, such as tillage and cropping diversification, influence soil phosphorus (P) dynamics. The aim was to evaluate the long‐term effect of tillage systems (no tillage, NT; vertical tillage, VT; conventional tillage, CT) on total (TP) and extractable (Pe) soil P distribution under different crop sequences (corn–wheat/soybean, C–W/S; wheat/soybean, W/S; corn–corn, C–C; soybean–soybean, S–S). TP and Pe were measured up to 50 cm deep. The TP distribution was associated to soil organic carbon (SOC) (r = .89, p < .01) and tend to increase near soil surface under NT as compared with CT and VT. The Pe was sensitive to the crop residues pattern of accumulation and their quality in the topsoil. Crop sequences that included corn had lower Pe concentration under NT. Conversely, in W/S, Pe concentration was lower under VT with no differences between NT and CT and, in S–S sequence, there were no differences in Pe concentration. However, under NT the increase in the above‐ground biomass in sequences without corn (p < .001) increased Pe concentration in 0–5 cm layer, while the opposite occurs in sequences with corn (p < .06). In S–S under NT, the low crop residue input (1.6 Mg of dry matter ha−1) and the high Pe concentration in 0–5 cm layer (40 mg kg−1) might increase the risk of P loss to adjacent ecosystems. Intensified sequences presented more negative P balances than corn/soybean monoculture. This study demonstrates that it's necessary to develop management strategies that improve P supply in synchrony with the crop demand and decrease P loss, while keeping productivity.
Mapping soil corrosivity potential to exclusion fencing using pedotransfer functions and open‐source soil data

Published: February 2024

AbstractSoil corrosivity is a term used to describe the corroding susceptibility (risk) of metal infrastructure in different soil environments. Soil corrosivity mapping is a crucial step in identifying potentially problematic, high‐maintenance fence lines and can help improve fence longevity by identifying soil environments where the use of more expensive, corrosion‐resistant materials would be more cost‐effective in the long term. Soil corrosion damage sustained on exclusion fences can be a serious management issue for conservation programs and initiatives, as it weakens the fence netting and provides opportunities for invasive animal migration and occupation (e.g. feral cats and foxes) into areas of high conservation value. The increasing accessibility of geospatial analysis software and the availability of open‐source soil data provide land managers with the opportunity to implement digital soil databases and pedotransfer functions to produce fence corrosion risk maps using commonly measured soil attributes. This paper uses open‐source government agency soil data (shapefiles) to map fence corrosion risk in the southern part of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, with the intention to assist with the installation of a new barrier (exclusion) fence as part of the Marna Banggara rewilding project. The risk classifications (low, moderate and high risk) made by this map were compared with rates of zinc corrosion (μm/year zinc loss) observed at field sites and correctly predicted the amount of fence damage sustained at five of the eight sites. The mapping approach outlined in this study can be implemented by environmental managers in other areas to inform strategies for enhancing fence longevity.

AbstractOne of the most heated debates in psychological science concerns the concept of repressed memory. We discuss how the debate on repressed memories continues to surface in legal settings, sometimes even to suggest avenues of legal reform. In the past years, several European countries have extended or abolished the statute of limitations for the prosecution of sexual crimes. Such statutes force legal actions (e.g., prosecution of sexual abuse) to be applied within a certain period of time. One of the reasons for the changes in statutes of limitations concerns the idea of repressed memory. We argue that from a psychological standpoint, these law reforms can be detrimental, particularly when they are done to endorse unfounded psychological theories. The validity of testimonies is compromised many years after the alleged facts, and abolishing the statute of limitations increases the chance that even more (false) recovered memories of abuse might enter the courtroom. We propose solutions to these changes such as establishing an independent expert committee evaluating claims of sexual abuse.
Stress Representations for Tensor Basis Neural Networks: Alternative Formulations to Finger–Rivlin–Ericksen

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Data-driven constitutive modeling frameworks based on neural networks and classical representation theorems have recently gained considerable attention due to their ability to easily incorporate constitutive constraints and their excellent generalization performance. In these models, the stress prediction follows from a linear combination of invariant-dependent coefficient functions and known tensor basis generators. However, thus far the formulations have been limited to stress representations based on the classical Finger–Rivlin–Ericksen form, while the performance of alternative representations has yet to be investigated. In this work, we survey a variety of tensor basis neural network models for modeling hyperelastic materials in a finite deformation context, including a number of so far unexplored formulations which use theoretically equivalent invariants and generators to Finger–Rivlin–Ericksen. Furthermore, we compare potential-based and coefficient-based approaches, as well as different calibration techniques. Nine variants are tested against both noisy and noiseless datasets for three different materials. Theoretical and practical insights into the performance of each formulation are given.
Band-Limited Vibrotactile Noise Enhances Fingertip Haptic Sensation
Authors: Chamnongthai Komi , Li Zhu , Endo Takahiro 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a method to enhance the haptic sensation of the fingertip by applying a vibrotactile noise to the wrist, an application of stochastic resonance. This sensation is known to improve when a sufficiently large noise is propagated to the fingertip. However, it is reduced when a large noise that humans can perceive is applied to the wrist. Therefore, this paper uses band-limited noise consisting of frequencies necessary to activate specific mechanoreceptors required for specific tasks. This allows us to apply a sufficiently large but still imperceptible noise to the wrist. On the basis of this procedure, we propose a method of improving the haptic sensation of the fingertip. Further, we conduct experiments to confirm the validity of the proposed method.
The Effects of Projectile Leading Edge and Aspect Ratio on the Deflection Efficiency of Planetary Scale Hypervelocity Impacts

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The influence of mission design parameters on the deflection efficiency of hypervelocity kinetic impacts remains an open question. With the upcoming impact of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), great interest exists in understanding how to optimize the deflection of a potentially hazardous object. In this work, we investigate the influence of projectile geometry on three-deflection efficiency observable using 2D simulations with the CTH hydrocode. We vary both the angle between the target and leading edge of the projectile in addition to the aspect ratio, to understand the projectile geometry effects on a kinetic impact. We show evidence for a projectile geometry effect on deflection efficiency observables that is highly dependent on the target material composition, where an enhancement of 5% in β is achieved in strong targets (cohesion=10 MPa), and 28% in weak targets (cohesion=100 Pa). The deflection efficiency is positively correlated to 𝛼 and the projectile aspect ratio, where the sphere and tall rod emerged as the most efficient projectiles in strong and weak targets.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Lunar impact flashes are a rich source of data on highintensity, high-velocity impacts in the absence of significant atmosphere. Studies of these flashes have established that the source of much of the radiation emitted by the flash is through thermal emission from hot condensed debris produced by the impact. Here we present a quantitative forward flash model that uses high-fidelity simulations of the hypervelocity impact that are then handed off to a full radiative transfer code to calculate its radiative evolution and flash intensity. Our method uses machine learning methods to calculate the state of the debris cloud close to its radiating state. As a case study, a lunar flash observed during the January 2019 lunar eclipse is compared to a lunar flash generated using our method under the conditions estimated for that impact.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Advanced steps have been made to develop techniques to manufacture, accelerate to orbital speeds, and diagnose the orientation for projectiles representative of the collected debris from the DebriSat experiment. This model validation work has enabled the development of numerical models of metallic, Whipple shields. Using these developed numerical models, work has begun on developing ballistic performance corrections to existing ballistic-limit equations for future use in threat assessments with an environment definition that includes nonspherical orbital debris. As described here, a slightly decreased performance is expected for a specific Whipple shield; however, much is left to do for additional projectile fineness ratios and shield characteristics.
Jet Penetration from Scaled Shaped Charges: Theory and Experiment
Authors: David W. Price , Ernest J. Harris , Frances G. Daykin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Shaped charge (SC) jets are used in many aspects of warfare, particularly to penetrate steel armor, but they can also be formed inadvertently in explosively-driven experiments and this can cause a severe problem for the containment of such experiments. The very penetrative nature of these jets means that they can pose a significant risk to the integrity of the infrastructure surrounding an experiment containing explosives such as a steel containment vessel or concrete firing chamber, and this risk needs to be mitigated. In some cases, notably when experiments are conducted in vessels, the space available for the fielding of mitigation systems is limited and so the size of any jetstopper must be optimum. In addition to this, mitigation materials can be costly and generate waste and so, to ensure that this is as low as reasonably practical, the amount of material in the jet mitigation must be minimized. Also, experiments that can generate jetting threats can vary in size and our predictive capability must be able to deal with this. Overall, this requires a good understanding of the penetration of jets from SCs of various sizes into targets, which in turn requires a good understanding of jet formation, inadvertent or otherwise, and a reliable method of modelling these jets and predicting the likely penetration.

Abstract
3D printing, a form of additive manufacturing, is quickly gaining popularity as a means of production in applications ranging from the consumer hobbyist up to the demands of industry. Since its realization in 2009, concrete-based 3D printing has been steadily moving closer to commercial use. As an innovative technology, layered concrete deposition lacks any significant history concerning safety and durability, particularly when subjected to stressors, such as impacts [1]. When considering 3D printing as a method of construction, resilience to structural deformation is critical to determine long-term viability, especially for structures erected in unvaryingly hostile environments. Quickly and accurately assessing the integrity of a structure that has been impacted is paramount to making versatile, additively manufactured concrete structures. With that in mind, this paper lays the groundwork for using a mesh of FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors imbedded in a 3D printable concrete mixture to recognize impacts in real-time and triangulate their exact position.

Abstract
SwRI is developing a technology that will enable detection and characterization of micrometeoroid orbital debris (MMOD) while on-orbit. The technology includes an instrumented aluminum panel that can be installed on a satellite and, with the appropriate sensor and software suite, is able to detect and characterize impacts during the mission. The stress waves produced by the impact on the panel will be selected on-board by the software, treated, and sent to the ground for further analysis. The selection process will be directed by an algorithm that will be developed based on the experimental campaign and stress wave theory.
CTH computer simulations in 2D and 3D were performed to study the viability and design the technology. Fully instrumented witness panels are being tested (August 2022) under hypervelocity impact using SwRI’s 0.17 in caliber two-stage light-gas gun. The small-scale panels were placed in the target tank to be impacted multiple times at velocities up to 6 km/s by a 3-mm al6061-T6 sphere. As expected, the strain magnitude depends on the distance to the impact point and, in general, decreases with distance.
Innovative Fragmentation Modeling for Hypervelocity Impacts of Debris

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The increase in the number of debris in orbit and the increase in the number of nano satellites in orbit leads to the need to better understand the debris likely to be generated by these nano satellites: either by explosion from an internal energy source, or by explosion following an impact by a large external debris. The aim of this research is to explore innovative fragmentation modelling solutions implemented in Impetus Afea Solver in the context of hypervelocity impacts of debris. Thus, through this work, a complete and detailed study of complex structures under hypervelocity impacts is successfully performed with the γ-SPH-ALE Solver. Thanks to its robustness and accuracy, Impetus can properly reproduce the experimental results. Particularly, the influence of the impact velocity on the multi-impact and perforation of a secondary plate is correctly handled as well as the behavior of a complete nanosatellite structure. The combination with an efficient fragment detection algorithm makes it possible to perform an accurate fragment analysis on the fly, and to exploit the data with in-house codes. In addition, the benefit from GPU acceleration significantly reduces the computation times with respect to classical SPH approaches allowing to meet industrial needs and to consider real orbital structures.
Organizational Socialization in Professional Sport: The National Basketball Association’s Rookie Transition Program
Authors: Beattie Mark A. 
Published: February 2024

Launched in 1986, the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Rookie Transition Program (RTP) is the longest running program of its kind in U.S. professional sports. Jointly administered by the NBA and National Basketball Players Association, the RTP is designed to ease the transition of first-year players to the league. Over the course of 4 days, RTP participants engage with current and former NBA players, coaches, administrators, and other league stakeholders on topics that range from personal finance, to mental health, to social justice advocacy. Organizational scholars might describe the NBA RTP as an element of the league’s onboarding, or organizational socialization, strategy. In this case, students will reflect on their own socialization experiences as organizational newcomers before analyzing the components of the NBA RTP. Finally, students will apply what they learn through this case to design the agenda of a future NBA RTP.
