Mandibular fibrosarcoma leading to neurological signs in a pet rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus forma domestica)
Authors: Döbelt Franziska , Groeneveld Gabriele 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis case report describes the case of a 1.5‐year‐old, neutered, female rabbit, which was presented with gastrointestinal and neurological signs in association with a palpable mandibular mass on the right side of the head. A computed tomography scan showed a mass with heterogeneous density. Furthermore, there was an osteolysis of the mandibular ramus and temporal bone with suspected intracranial and tympanic bulla involvement. The right temporomandibular joint was subluxated. Cytological evaluation of a fine‐needle aspirate sample revealed a mesenchymal neoplasm. The rabbit's neurological signs rapidly deteriorated to vestibular ataxia with a head tilt to the right side, drift to the right and an inability to eat. Finally, the patient was euthanased. The final diagnosis of a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, most likely a fibrosarcoma was reached by histopathology. This is the first report of neurological signs in a pet rabbit associated with mandibular fibrosarcoma during the course of the disease.
Effects of naming heatwaves on risk perception and protective behaviour
Authors: Sprengholz Philipp , Bruckmann Robert , Wolstein Jörg 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves are growing across the globe, which calls for measures to increase public awareness and protective behaviour. We investigated whether naming heatwaves could promote heat‐related risk perception and actions. In a preregistered experiment, older adults from Germany (N = 272) read the announcement of either a nameless or named heatwave. Contrary to our expectations, the named heatwave resulted in lower risk perception and decreased intention to cool down one’s home in preparation. In conclusion, the findings indicated no immediate benefits of naming heatwaves.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundAims conventional bowel preparation restricts dietary intake up to 72 h prior to colonoscopy. Bowel preparation process is often perceived as unpleasant leading to poor compliance and subsequent poor bowel preparation. The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy of low‐residue semi‐elemental enteral formula (LREF) incorporated diet versus the standard diet in polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐based bowel preparation in the aim of creating a more tolerable bowel preparation regimen without compromising bowel cleanliness.MethodsThis was a multicenter, prospective, single‐blinded, randomized controlled noninferiority trial. The noninferiority margin was set at 15%. One hundred sixty‐seven patients were recruited and randomized to either the LREF group or the standard diet (SD) group using a 3L PEG preparation regimen.ResultsThe LREF group results in comparable satisfactory preparation rating to the standard diet group with a mean BPPS score of 6.87 (SD 1.59) versus 7.14 (SD 1.54) (95% CI[−0.86; 0.32] and p = 0.367). The mean difference (MD) of the BBPS total score between the two groups was −0.27 (95% CI [−0.764 and 0.224]). Equivalence were demonstrated using the two one‐sided test (alpha = 5%) with the lower t‐value of 2.682 (p = 0.0042) and the upper t‐value of −4.493 (p < 0.01). There was also no significant difference in PEG compliance, willingness to repeat the procedure and tolerance to the bowel preparation between the two groups.ConclusionThe LREF incorporated diet is equivalent to regimen in achieving satisfactory bowel cleanliness in patients undergoing PEG‐based bowel preparation. We suggest that a LREF incorporated regimen for bowel preparation can be considered in patients who are unable to sustain prolonged fasting to improve the procedural experience.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The available parallelism and heterogeneity of emerging computer systems must be exploited for being able to process the huge amounts of data produced every day. As a consequence, we observe an increasing research interest in accelerating database query processing on multi-cores and attached co-processors like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). This chapter presents ReProVide, an approach combining near-data processing and FPGA-based acceleration. The System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture of ReProVide including a flexibly reconfigurable FPGA can load and execute hardware accelerators for various operators on relational and streaming data. Moreover, we present novel DBMS techniques for partitioning query-execution plans between a host and Reconfigurable data-Provider Units (RPUs) and for mapping operators onto RPUs by means of hardware reconfiguration.
The Dairy Industry as a Source of Conflict between Québec and the United States
Authors: Holland Kenneth , Holland Julie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes one of the most significant current sources of conflict between Québec and the United States, viz., lack of full access by American producers of dairy products to the Québec market. Although the law that limits imports is federal, the influence of Québec’s dairy industry, the largest in Canada, in Ottawa means that the policy reflects the interests of La belle province. The American administration of Joe Biden has filed two challenges against Canada’s actions to protect the dairy industry under the dispute resolution provision of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). The Québec government has two choices regarding how to manage this growing conflict with the United States. It can continue its current approach of pressuring Ottawa to continue to deny access to American exporters of milk, cheese, yogurt, butter and ice cream, and to maintain supply management, or it can follow the example of New Zealand and choose pursuit of reciprocal trade arrangements under which Québec dairy producers and manufacturers gain access to the large American market in exchange for opening its market to American products. The latter option fits well with Québec’s policy of growing its exports to the United States and reducing its reliance on trade with English Canada but would cause a major restructuring of the province’s dairy industry.
Public Participation in the Management of Risk from Industrial Facilities
Authors: Webler Thomas 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Industrial facilities have at times made many costly mistakes when interfacing with local communities. Risk characterizations comprising risk experts’ probabilistic risk assessments may be technically competent, but not wholly objective, nor do they capture all dimensions of risk that matter to members of the public. When confronting publics and stakeholders who are concerned about a risk, a competent probabilistic risk assessment may not be sufficient to allay fears and concerns. This chapter explains why and describes best practices for public and stakeholder engagement. It argues these should guide practice when industrial facilities managers interact with the public. It also highlights customary simplifications and misunderstandings that can worsen conflict. Over the past thirty years social scientists have studied and learned about how to effectively engage publics and stakeholders in risk decision making. Management would be wise to invest in the capacity to interpret this literature and employ its recommended solutions.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
It is of great significance to study the energy dissipation characteristics of bolted joints under transverse alternating loads especially for analyzing the dynamic response of transmission tower structures and enhancing its safety and reliability. In this paper, a combination of finite element simulation and experiments is used. Firstly, the finite element model of bolted joint of transmission tower is established, and the load–displacement curve is obtained by applying transverse alternating load on the end face of angle steel. Afterwards, a fatigue test machine is used to apply cyclic load to six different joints. In this way, the simulation results are verified and the influence of factors such as bolt looseness, number of nuts, presence or absence of washers, loading frequency, and number of bolts on joint energy consumption is given. The results show that the finite element model established in this paper can effectively simulate the loosening and failure of bolts. The energy dissipation characteristics are mainly related to the structural methods of the joints. In the construction of bolted joints effective bolt anti-loosening measures should be taken to improve the energy consumption characteristics of joints.

Authors: Chen Chunjun , Huang Linshuying 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Rolling bearing health assessment relies on the constructed degradation indicators, In order to improve the monotonicity and trend of the indicators, a fusion indicator construction method considering feature burr removal is proposed. For the feature burrs appearing in the rolling bearing degradation performance characterization features that deviate from the expected degradation trend, a criterion-based adaptive burr removal strategy is used to detect and remove the burrs existing in the characterization features to improve the performance of the degradation indicators; then, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to fuse six kinds of time domain features, to remove the redundant information in the original state feature space, to maintain the global structure of the bearing degradation data, and further use the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) algorithm to smooth the fusion indicators to obtain high-quality degradation indicators. The experimental results verify the superiority of the proposed method in terms of monotonicity and trend.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The temperature uniformity of thermocouple calibration furnace plays an important role in the calibration of base metal thermocouple and is an important parameter to evaluate the accuracy of thermocouple calibration. In JJF 1637-2017 “Calibration Specification for Base Metal Thermocouples”, it is proposed to use thermostatic block to improve the uniformity of thermocouple calibration furnace. Many scholars verify the feasibility of using thermostatic block through experimental methods, but experimental research requires many built-in standard thermocouples which are not completely consistent with the actual working state and the temperature data can be obtained is limited. In order to further explore the heat transfer mechanism of improving temperature uniformity by using thermostatic block, the temperature distribution of temperature field in furnace is calculated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The calculation results show that the alloy thermostatic block plays a good role in optimizing the temperature field because of its good thermal conductivity. Compared with not placing the thermostatic block, the maximum temperature difference in the axial direction is reduced by 2 times and the maximum temperature difference in the radial direction is reduced by 1 times, which is an important means to improve the temperature uniformity.

Authors: Fan Yuqi , Yuan Xing , Luo Nianmeng 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In aerospace applications, avoiding chatter is an efficient way to improve the machining quality of weakly stiff parts. However, it is not easy to establish an accurate chatter stability model for variable curvature thin-walled workpieces under time-varying machining conditions due to their complex dynamic characteristics. For this issue, the paper proposed a chatter prediction model to effectively predict the chatter of variable curvature thin-walled workpieces considering material removal, cutter position, deformation along the cutter radius and axis, and other time-varying machining characteristics. Finite element simulation and milling tests to analyse the correctness in the proposed model. The proposed method contributed to chatter-free machining parameter planning to ensure machining stability.

Authors: Liao Xiaokang , He Liu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A wheelset bearing is a critical part of high-speed train bogies; its running status directly affects the safety and stability of the trains. A wheelset bearing vehicle track dynamic analysis model with a flaw in the wheelset bearing outer raceway is established, and the dynamic response of the wheelset bearing cage is calculated through simulation analysis software. The calculation results indicate that when the wheelset bearing outer raceway is defective, the change amplitude of wheelset bearing roller angular velocity increases, and the wheelset bearing roller angular velocity also has periodic mutation. As the flaw width of wheelset bearing outer raceway expands, the contact behavior between the wheelset bearing roller and the wheelset bearing outer raceway intensifies, and the impact of the wheelset bearing roller on the cage increases, and the relative deviation of the position of the center of mass gradually increases, causing the decrease of the stability of the wheelset bearing cage.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton can be a good substitute for professional therapists in rehabilitation training for stroke patients, but few devices can accurately obtain the upper limb rehabilitation movements of therapists or patients on the healthy side to guide the rehabilitation exoskeleton in passive rehabilitation of patients. In this paper, a 10-DOF exoskeletal master device is proposed, which includes all the degrees of freedom of upper limb, and is improved from two aspects of kinematic analysis and structural design. By studying the motion of the whole upper limb, especially the shoulder joint, the complete upper limb motion chain is proposed in this paper, and the feasibility is verified by kinematics analysis. Then the structure design is carried out and introduced in detail. Finally, genetic algorithm was used to optimize the structural parameters of pHRI, which provided a reference for Physical human–robot-interface (pHRI) transplantation to different exoskeleton devices.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The need for mechanical model simulation platforms is growing as a result of the ongoing advancements in digital technology and the mechanical manufacturing sector. The application scope and efficacy of simulation platforms are severely limited by the issue of sluggish rendering performance, which frequently arises when obtaining high-quality rendering. When drawing high demand mechanical models, a lot of processing power is frequently needed, which makes real-time rendering speed unsatisfactory for practical purposes. In order to achieve real-time rendering and simulation of 3D robots, this experiment built and implemented a WebGL-based 3D simulation platform. Additionally, the simulation platform can be optimized by increasing frame rate and rendering speed without sacrificing rendering effect by building a mixed bounding box.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Due to the hidden nature and complexity of the underground engineering rock body, the actual grouting process is mostly a black box operation, which makes it difficult to observe and control the splitting direction of the slurry vein, and the slurry vein splitting is difficult to be expanded according to the expected direction and length, therefore, it is especially important to clarify the splitting law, start splitting and diffusion law of the slurry vein during the grouting process to study the directional control mechanism of the splitting grouting slurry vein. Therefore, an array type 27-channel multivariate data monitoring true triaxial split grouting simulation tester is developed independently, which includes four parts: true triaxial grouting test platform, triaxial loading unit, digital grouting unit and information acquisition unit, and the system can be used to carry out split grouting simulation tests under different geostress conditions, and to study the split diffusion law of the grouting veins in the complex soil body.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Omnidirectional movement of climbing robots can boost the efficiency of wall operation, reduce the requirement of effective space for steering action, and mitigate the occurrence of instability. In this paper, a new structure of an omnidirectional wall-climbing robot is proposed, which is equipped with an independent omnidirectional wheel mechanism and a two-axis output reduction motor, so that the crawling drive is more reliable and stable. Secondly, the robot is subject to mechanical and magnetic performance analyses to determine the parameters of the combined adhesion of magnetic wheels and block magnets. Finally, based on Adams software, the robot dynamics simulation with examples of vertical and 45° upward crawling are carried out. The results demonstrate that the robot can realize omnidirectional crawling on the wall, which verifies the rationality of the structure scheme and operation principles, providing theoretical references for subsequent prototype development.
