Published: November 2023

AbstractThe interplay of water resources with social-economy spheres involves a reciprocal feedback mechanism. With the acceleration of the construction process of modernized water networks in Hunan Province, investigating the adaptation status of the "Water-Social-Economy " composite system (WSE) is crucial for promoting sustainability. This study clarifies the connotation of the adaptability of WSE, and the quantitative analyses were conducted through coupling coordinative degree, harmonious development capacity, and the evolution of development lag types among the 14 cities of Hunan Province from 2005 to 2020. The results show that: (1) The development index of the water resources subsystem (WRS) showed a “downward-fluctuation-upward” trend, while the development index of the social-economy subsystem (SES) showed signs of great improvement, the former didn’t catch up with the latter. (2) The coupling coordination degree of WSE developed well, and reached the coordinative development stage by 2020, but the unbalanced spatial pattern between north to south and east to west still exists and is further intensified. (3) The development ability of WSE improved while the harmony ability reduced, and the development rate of WRS and SES hasn’t achieved dynamic synchronization. Finally, the policies and suggestions to improve the adaptability are put forward, which is of instructive significance for the sustainable development of water suitability.

AbstractNeurogenic bladder (NB) affects people of all ages. Electric impedance myography (EIM) assesses localized muscle abnormalities. Here, we sought to investigate whether unique detrusor EIM signatures are present in NB due to spinal cord injury (SCI). Twenty-eight, 8–10 weeks old, C57BL/6J female mice were studied. Twenty underwent spinal cord transection; 8 served as controls. Cohorts were euthanized at 4 and 6 weeks after spinal cord transection. Each bladder was measured in-situ with EIM with applied frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 MHz, and then processed for molecular and histologic study. SCI mice had greater bladder-to-body weight ratio (p < 0.0001), greater collagen deposition (p = 0.009), and greater smooth-muscle-myosin-heavy-chain isoform A/B ratio (p < 0.0001). Compared with the control group, the SCI group was associated with lower phase, reactance, and resistance values (p < 0.01). Significant correlations (p < 0.001) between bladder-to-body weight ratios and EIM measurements were observed across the entire frequency spectrum. A severely hypertrophied phenotype was characterized by even greater bladder-to-body weight ratios and more depressed EIM values. Our study demonstrated distinct EIM alterations in the detrusor muscle of mice with NB due to SCI. With further refinement, EIM may offer a potential point-of-care tool for the assessment of NB and its response to treatment.
Government intervention, industrial structure, and energy eco-efficiency: an empirical research on new energy demonstration in cities
Authors: Zhang Xiaoyi , Zhang Rui , Wang Yue , Zhao Meilin , Zhao Xin 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis study investigates the relationships among government intervention, industrial structure, and energy eco-efficiency (EE). Energy eco-efficiency was measured based on a non-radial directional distance function for 236 cities in China from 2005 to 2019. Additionally, the difference-in-difference model (DID) method and spatial econometric models were used to analyse the impact of government intervention and industrial structure on energy eco-efficiency and their spatial spill-over effects. Government intervention includes fiscal expenditures and policy orientation for new energy demonstration construction. Our results indicate that: China’s EE has a fluctuating upward trend and increased 17.85% in the period, and its spatial distribution imbalance gradually developed into a regional distribution balance. Moreover, government intervention and adjustment of the industrial structure improved urban energy eco-efficiency by 7.43% and 0.92%, respectively, which also has spatial spill-over effects in neighbouring regions. Furthermore, economic development, technological innovation, and foreign direct investment enable EE. However, urbanisation hinders the improvement of energy eco-efficiency. Finally, heterogeneity analysis showed that the policy of the new energy demonstration city has better effects on eastern and western cities in promoting EE.
Comparison of usefulness of two tests measuring anaerobic performance of untrained and soccer-training girls U12

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) in anaerobic performance estimation in trained and untrained girls U12, and the effect of an 8-week training period in female U12 soccer players on anaerobic performance. A comparative study of two structurally different anaerobic tests was performed to reach the goal. The study was designed as a non-randomized, controlled before-and-after trial. Fourteen female soccer players (FSP) and twelve untrained girls (UNT) participated in the study. During that time, all participants were subjected to school’s physical education classes and the FSP additionally participated in regular soccer training. The anaerobic performance was evaluated twice, within 8-weeks period, using the traditional Wingate test (WAnT) and the RAST. A significant increase in the anaerobic performance of the FSP was noted (p < 0.05). In both tests peak, average, and relative power were significantly improved (p < 0.005). Nevertheless, strong, statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlation coefficients (0.50 < r < 0.70) were found for pre-training measurements between the WAnT and the RAST power parameters in absolute values. In UNT group significant improvement was found in peak, average and min power (p < 0.05) in the RAST. The improvement in anaerobic performance after training along with the strong correlation noted between the WAnT and the RAST power parameters prove the usefulness of the RAST in assessing anaerobic capacity in female youth athletes. Its simplicity encourages its use in monitoring anaerobic capacity in both trained and untrained girls.

Published: November 2023

AbstractLaser diodes are small and inexpensive but don’t afford the pulse energy and beam profile required for optoacoustic (photoacoustic) microscopy. Using two novel modulation concepts, i.e. overdriving continuous-wave laser diodes (CWLD) and frequency-wavelength multiplexing (FWM) based on illumination pulse-trains, we demonstrate concurrent multi-wavelength optoacoustic microscopy with signal-to-noise ratios of > 17 dB, < 2 µm resolution at repetition rates of 1 MHz. This unprecedented performance based on an adaptable trigger engine allowed us to contrast FWM to wavelength alternating acquisition using identical optical components. We showcase this concept’s superiority over conventional optoacoustic microscopes by visualizing vascular oxygenation dynamics and circulating tumor cells in mice. This work positions laser diodes as a technology allowing affordable, tunable, and miniaturizable optoacoustic microscopy.
Detection of solar QBO-like signals in earth’s magnetic field from multi-GOES mission data
Authors: Inceoglu Fadil , Loto’aniu Paul T. M. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThrough variations in its magnetic activity at different timescales, the Sun strongly influences the space weather conditions throughout the heliosphere. The most known solar activity variation is the Schwabe Cycle, also known as the Sunspot Cycle (SCs), period of which ranges from 9 to 13 years. The Sun also shows shorter quasi-periodic variations, such as the quasi-biennial oscillations (QBOs), superposed on the SCs. The QBOs are thought to be a global phenomena extending from the subsurface layers of the Sun to Earth and throughout the Heliosphere with a period generally between 1.3 and 1.6 years. In this study, we, for the first time, detected signals with periods ranging from 1.3 to 1.6 years in Earth’s magnetosphere, which can be associated with the solar QBOs, using data from multiple GOES missions. The QBO-like signals detected in Earths Magnetopshere are thought to be propagated via the solar wind from the solar surface.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background Flexor tendon injury zone V is a multicomponent soft tissue injury involving tendons, nerves, and vessels. Outcome assessment of repair thus requires evaluation of the hand as a whole rather than solely evaluating tendon function. The purpose of this Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses -compliant systematic review was to identify and assess the components of outcome measures used in flexor zone V.
Methods A total of 3,761 studies were retrieved from four databases (PubMed, ProQuest, Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar). These studies were then screened for inclusion using a validated screening form. Fifteen articles fulfilling the eligibility criteria were included in the review. Subsequently, the included studies were assessed for methodological quality using the Joanna Brigg Institute tool.
Results Out of the 15 studies, 11 were case series, 3 were cross-sectional studies, and 1 was a randomized controlled trial. Out of 15 included studies, 13 were of low risk, whereas 2 studies suggested moderate risk when assessed for methodological quality using the Joanna Brigg Institute tool. Eight outcome measures were identified, out of which the most frequently used were Total Active Motion by the American Society for Surgery of Hand (TAM-ASSH) and Noaman's criteria. Our study found that Noaman's criteria assessed sensory-motor function and finger deformity in addition to the range of motion (ROM), which was found to be assessed by all the other outcome measures.
Conclusion We concluded that although Buck-Gramcko criteria is well suited for the ROM evaluation, Noaman's criteria, a recently developed outcome measure used exclusively for combined injuries in zone V, took into consideration the implications of nerve injury along with tendon function. Although being specifically designed for combined injuries of tendons, nerves, and vessels in zone V, there is a lack of usage of Noaman's in the literature. There still exists a lack of a consistent and appropriate choice of outcome measure.
Influence of 0.1–10 MeV neutron-induced SEUs on estimation of terrestrial SER in a nano-scale SRAM

Published: November 2023

The impact of 0.1–10 MeV neutron-induced single-event upsets (NSEUs) on terrestrial SER (soft error rate) prediction is analyzed for several broad spectrum neutron sources based on 0.1–200 MeV NSEU energetic-dependent cross-sectional data of a 40 nm SRAM. The results show that for test facilities with abundant &lt;10 MeV neutrons, such as ISIS ChipIR, J-PARC BL10, CSNS Back-n, and CSNS BL09, the terrestrial SER is overestimated. The overestimation could reach 78%–287%. By reducing the cutoff energy (Emin) from 10 to 6 MeV, the overestimation can be decreased. However, the overestimation can still reach up to 164% in this case, significantly larger than the results reported by previous studies. By analyzing the contribution of neutrons in different energy bins to NSEUs, the discrepancy is proved to be attributed to the sensitivity of NSEUs to 0.1–1 MeV neutrons, along with the overpopulation of 0.1–1 MeV neutrons for certain test facilities, such as ISIS ChipIR and CSNS BL09. Therefore, it is necessary to take 0.1–1 MeV NSEU sensitivity into account when studying the prediction method using broad spectrum neutron sources.

Abstract
Audiovisual products have gained ground in the last few decades, becoming a crucial part of our life nowadays. This research paper was carried out as part of the piloting phase of the TRADILEX project, which stands for Audiovisual Translation as a Didactic Resource in Foreign Language Education. The study aims to foster awareness on media accessibility through the application of Subtitling for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing (SDH) as a didactic resource to explore its pedagogical potential in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. A set of six SDH-based lesson plans were designed and implemented for students to develop their integrated language skills and to foster their equity, diversity, and inclusion awareness, with a special focus on accessibility. The Initial Test of Integrated Skills (ITIS) and the Final Test of Integrated Skills (FITIS) were designed within the framework of the TRADILEX project and used to measure the development of each participant’s language skills together with qualitative ad hoc questionnaires to gather their impressions about the intervention. Results show that participants have improved both their foreign language and subtitling skills, and gained more awareness regarding equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) issues. Thus, the current study stands as a proof for the potential of Didactic Audiovisual Translation (DAT) to develop both EFL and personal skills, which are crucial for the 21st century language education.

On the influence of humidity on the breakdown strength of air—with a case study on the PDIV of contacting enameled wire pairs
Authors: Färber R , Šefl O , Franck C M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) in contacting enameled wire pairs exhibits a marked decrease with increased air humidity. While existing literature mentions several potential mechanisms for this reduction, a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the associated effects is lacking. This research paper addresses this knowledge gap by providing a quantitative estimation of the combined impact of water on the gas’s ionization yield (effective ionization coefficient) and the modification of the gap electric field caused by water absorption into the bulk of the insulating coating and the associated microscopic and macroscopic polarization processes (dielectric permittivity). However, a comparison of the theoretical predictions with experimental data reveals that these factors alone cannot fully account for the observed reduction in PDIV. Therefore, the study explores additional mechanisms mentioned in the literature, with particular focus on the development of a semi-conductive layer on the insulation coating in humid atmospheres. The numerical simulations of the surface charge dynamics within this layer suggests that the frequency-dependent decrease in PDIV under high-humidity atmospheres can indeed be attributed to the modification of the gap electric field due to the accumulation of surface charge in the semi-conductive layer.
A bearing fault detection and remaining useful life prediction method based on a multi-branch residual feature fusion mechanism and optimized weight allocation
Authors: Yao Yiran , Liang Tao , Tan Jianxin , Jing Yanwei 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Within the context of rapidly progressing industrial sectors, rolling bearings have become a fundamental component across an array of mechanical systems. Their fault detection and remaining useful life (RUL) estimations are vital for ensuring industrial production safety. Yet, the understated characteristics of early-stage, minor faults in bearing degradation often escape detection. Additionally, numerous existing networks overlook the critical information embedded in multi-scale features, consequently diminishing the accuracy of predictions and classifications. The present study proposes MM-InfoGAN (multi-branch residual feature fusion and multi-objective optimization information maximization generative adversarial network), an innovative approach for intelligent fault detection and RUL prediction to address these issues. MM-InfoGAN augments the network’s ability to extract bearing fault characteristics and RUL data, employing a multi-branch residual feature fusion network structure coupled with an attention mechanism. Moreover, it refines the weight allocation strategy for geometric loss and introduces a novel loss function. This function optimizes weight distribution during the GAN’s training phase, expediting the attainment of network equilibrium. The efficacy of the comprehensive MM-InfoGAN model and its integrated modules was substantiated through comparative and ablation experiments conducted on the XJTU-SY dataset and IMS Bearing dataset.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the context of complex parking environments, vehicle parking space detection faces challenges such as multi-scale, multi-angle, and occlusion issues, leading to low detection efficiency and problems with false positives and false negatives. In this study, we propose an improved vehicle parking space detection algorithm based on YOLOv7. Firstly, we enhance the convolutional layers by introducing the Mish activation function, thereby improving the model’s feature extraction capabilities and its ability to represent objects effectively. Secondly, we combine the parameter-free attention mechanism SimAM with feature pyramid modules and feature extraction modules to replace certain convolutional layers, thereby enhancing the reinforcement of critical parking space information and adaptability to variations in target scale. Finally, we replace the nearest-neighbor interpolation in the upsampling section with the lightweight operator CARAFE, effectively extracting parking space feature information and enhancing the algorithm’s feature fusion capabilities. Through ablation experiments and comparative trials on publicly available parking space datasets, our improved YOLOv7 algorithm achieves an mAP of 78.7%. Compared to the original algorithm, it demonstrates a 1.5% improvement in detection performance and a 5.6% increase in recall rate. These enhancements significantly improve parking space detection in complex environments, addressing issues such as false positives and false negatives, thereby meeting the performance requirements of parking space detection in parking lots.

Relativistically intense laser light interacting with solid density targets can accelerate protons to multi-MeV energies via the target normal sheath acceleration process. The use of hollow hemisphere targets with a hollow conical region to focus protons of selected energies, for applications such as isochoric heating of matter and for the fast ignition approach to inertial confinement fusion, is explored for laser intensity

Wcm−2. Specifically, the effects of having the cone tip open or closed is investigated experimentally and via a programme of scaled particle-in-cell simulations. The open cone configuration is found to result in proton focusing in the energy range of 9 to 24 MeV, and produce an annular profile for higher energy components, up to 55 MeV, while the spatial distribution of lower energy components remains unchanged. By contrast, for the closed cone case, the focusing effect is diminished by the fields present on the inner wall of the cone tip. Simulations reveal that strong electrostatic and magnetic fields present on the inner surfaces of the target induce the focusing effect with the open cone, but also result in proton divergence in the case of the closed cone. Additionally, the simulations demonstrate the possibility to tailor the cone geometry to select the energy range over which the focusing occurs.
Interplay of plasma resistivity and rotation on β limits in free boundary diverted tokamaks

Published: November 2023

Abstract
A plasma resistivity-β driving mechanism aimed at explaining the appearance of long wavelength global instabilities in free boundary high-β tokamak plasmas with a divertor is presented. These perturbations resemble very closely the resistive wall mode phenomenon. Performing a proper toroidal analysis, we show that the magnetohydrodynamic stability is worsened by the interplay of plasma β and resistivity. By modelling the effect of a magnetic separatrix through a careful positioning of the resonant surfaces, we find that in an ideal plasma wall effects are effectively screened, so that the ideal β limit becomes independent of the wall position/physics. A lower wall dependent critical β is found if plasma resistivity is allowed. We find that global stability can be improved with a toroidal flow, small enough not to induce equilibrium modification. The rotation stabilisation effectiveness depends upon the proximity of the plasma equilibrium parameters to the resistive marginal boundary.
