Gold nanowire mesh electrode for electromechanical device
Authors: Ikeda Taichi 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIonic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators were prepared with Nafion film as the ionic polymer and gold nanowire (Au-NW) mesh film as the metal electrodes by hot-pressing, which shortened preparation time within 1 h. As a reference, IPMC actuator consisting of Nafion film and gold foil (Au-foil) was also prepared. Au-NW mesh film can be an electrode with thinner (about 150 nm) and lower surface resistivity (about 0.5 Ω sq−1) than the conventional electrode prepared by electroless plating. Larger contact area of the Au-NW mesh electrode than the Au-foil electrode resulted in better actuation performance (60% larger peak-to-peak displacement in actuation). It was confirmed that the transformation behavior of Au-NWs differed depending on the external stimuli condition. Namely Au-NWs transformed to Au nanoparticles in the case of the heat stimulus only. Meanwhile, Au-NWs transformed to plates in the case of the heat and pressure stimuli. While higher temperature improved the adhesion of Au-NW mesh electrode to the Nafion surface, it induced the transformation of nanowire to plates. The IPMC actuator that the Au-NW mesh electrodes were hot-pressed at 90 ºC exhibited the highest capacitance and the largest peak-to-peak displacement in actuation. This research expanded the application field of gold nanowires to the electromechanical devices.

AbstractThe Yellow River Basin has a wealth of tourism resources, a long history of folk sports, and strong legislative support, all of which are advantages for the growth of the sports tourism sector. This study constructs an evaluation index system based on panel data from nine provinces and regions in the Yellow River Basin from 2011 to 2020, and then measures the development index and analyzes the driving factors using the entropy method, coupling coordination degree model, kernel density estimation method, and grey correlation analysis method. The findings demonstrate that (1) the Yellow River Basin's overall level of growth in the sports and tourist sectors exhibits a consistent and upward trend and that Shandong and Henan provinces clearly have an edge over other provinces in terms of development. (2) The geographical development pattern was lower Yellow River > upper Yellow River > middle Yellow River, and the coupling coordination status shifted from slight disorder to good coordination. (3) There is a close connection between sports tourism and variables including population density, financial prowess, and infrastructure growth. The employment population index has the smallest link with invention patent authorization. The macro-policy framework should therefore be strengthened in the future, the sports tourism infrastructure should be improved, and the Yellow River basin's unique sports tourism resources should be fully utilized in order to increase brand influence. In addition, new sports tourism products should be developed in response to market demand and consumer preferences, and enterprise innovation and research and development efforts should be increased in order to achieve high-quality development transformation.
Gaia view of primitive inner-belt asteroid families
Authors: Delbo M. , Avdellidou C. , Walsh K. J. 
Published: October 2023

Aims. The near-Earth asteroids Ryugu and Bennu were visited, characterised, and sampled by the Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx missions, where remote sensing data and sample return analysis showed that both asteroids have primitive, hydrated, and organic-rich compositions. The dark families of the inner main belt that belong to the spectroscopic C-complex have been claimed to be the sources of both Ryugu and Bennu, and hence there have been large efforts to spectroscopically characterise them by ground-based observations.
Methods. Here we used the Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) asteroid reflectance spectra in order to characterise the 11 known inner main belt C-complex families (Chaldaea, Chimaera, Clarissa, Erigone, Eulalia, Klio, Polana, Primordial, Sulamitis, Svea, Tamara), using space-borne visible-light spectroscopic observations. For each family we extracted the family members that have known geometric visible albedo values and Gaia DR3 data, and we created an average reflectance spectrum per family between 370 and 950 nm. These averages were then compared with the ground-based visible spectroscopic surveys of the same families, and to Bennu’s and Ryugu’s space- and ground-based spectra in the same wavelength range.
Results. Gaia DR3 reflectance spectra of the dark asteroid families of the inner main belt are in general consistent with previous findings. The only exception is the case of the Svea family: previous surveys classified its members as B-types, whereas the average reflectance spectrum from Gaia DR3 is similar to a C-type. We also showed that the Polana and the Eulalia families can be distinguished in the wavelength region 370–500 nm. Among all the primitive inner main belt families, we found that the average reflectance spectra of the Eulalia and Polana families are the most similar to those of Bennu and Ryugu, respectively. In particular, Eulalia family’s average spectrum is a good match to Bennu’s in the wavelength range 450–800 nm, while beyond 800 nm the spectrum of Bennu is bluer than that of Eulalia. Moreover, the spectrum of the Polana family has the smallest discrepancy (smallest χ2) against the spectrum of Ryugu, although this match is formally unsatisfactory (reduced χ2 ~ 1.9).
Discharge of iodine-containing contrast media into the environment – problem analysis and implementation of measures to reduce discharge by means of separation toilets – experience from a pilot project

Published: October 2023

Purpose Environmental aspects and sustainability are becoming increasingly important. In addition to energy consumption, the consumption and environmental discharge of contrast agents pose a particular challenge. Because of their desired stability, X-ray contrast agents (XCAs) are deposited in surface water at a rate of up to 400 tons per year.
Materials and Methods In a pilot project, a set of measures (installation of specific separation toilets, the establishment of feedback systems, interviews, questionnaires, and observation) was implemented to sensitize patients and staff to the problem of XCAs during outpatient CT examinations and a retention and recovery system for XCAs was evaluated.
Results In the initial baseline phase, a separation toilet with an additional collection system and a feedback/button system was installed. The built-in feedback system indicated that the separation toilets were used by approx. 16 % of patients without measures. In two subsequent intervention phases, accompanying measures significantly (p < 0.01) increased the use of these separation toilets to 21 % and 25 %, respectively. The measures to reduce the discharge of XCAs were positively assessed by both staff and patients.
Conclusion Measures to reduce the discharge of XCAs into the environment have a high acceptance among staff and patients. The subsequent installation of separation toilets is one possibility to achieve on-site retention of XCAs. However, this measure is likely to be of high value only if patients stay on site for a correspondingly long time, as is the case in cardiology, for example.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is an emerging procedure that lacks technical standardization with limited adoption beyond expert centers. We surveyed high-volume endosonographers about the technical aspects of EUS-GE to describe how the procedure is currently performed at expert centers and identify targets for standardization.
Methods Invitations to complete an electronic survey were distributed to 21 expert EUS practitioners at 19 U.S. centers. Respondents were surveyed about technical aspects of EUS-GE, indications, efficacy, safety, and attitudes toward the procedure.
Results All 21 (100%) invited expert endoscopists completed the survey. Nine (42.9%) reported performing >10 EUS-GEs in the last 12 months. About half (47.6%, 10/21) puncture the target loop prior to lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) introduction, most often to confirm the loop is jejunum. No respondents reported guidewire placement prior to LAMS introduction. Most (71.4%, 15/21) do not use a guidewire at any time, while 28.6% (6/21) reported wire placement after distal flange deployment to secure the tract during apposition. Eight (38.1%, 8/21) reported at least one major adverse event, most commonly intraperitoneal LAMS deployment (87.5%, 7/8). Factors most often reported as advantageous for EUS-GE over enteral stenting included lack of papilla interference (33.3%, 7/21) and decreased occlusion risk (23.8%, 5/21).
Conclusions Significant variation in performance technique for EUS-GE exists among expert US endoscopists, which may hinder widespread adoption and contribute to inconsistencies in reported patient outcomes. The granularity provided by these survey results may identify areas to focus standardization efforts and guide future studies on developing an ideal EUS-GE protocol.
Mitigating emotional risks in human-social robot interactions through virtual interactive environment indication
Authors: Bao Aorigele , Zeng Yi , Lu Enmeng 
Published: October 2023

AbstractHumans often unconsciously perceive social robots involved in their lives as partners rather than mere tools, imbuing them with qualities of companionship. This anthropomorphization can lead to a spectrum of emotional risks, such as deception, disappointment, and reverse manipulation, that existing approaches struggle to address effectively. In this paper, we argue that a Virtual Interactive Environment (VIE) exists between humans and social robots, which plays a crucial role and demands necessary consideration and clarification in order to mitigate potential emotional risks. By analyzing the relational nature of human-social robot interaction, we discuss the connotation of such a virtual interactive environment that is similar to the emotional states aroused when reading novels. Building on this comprehension, we further demonstrate that manufacturers should carry out comprehensive Virtual Interactive Environment Indication (VIEI) measures during human-social robot interaction with a stricter sense of responsibility when applying social robots. Finally, we contemplate the potential contributions of virtual interactive environment indication to existing robot ethics guidelines.
PMMA based compound kinoform lenses for sub-150 nm hard x-rays focusing
Authors: Liu Jing , Xu Yuanze 
Published: October 2023

It is the first time to fabricate the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based compound kinoform lenses (CKLs) for nano-focusing of hard x-rays. The PMMA CKLs with a physical aperture of 160 µm and a focal length of 20 mm are designed and fabricated by x-ray LIGA technology at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility. To improve the stiffness of the PMMA lines, PMMA sheets with high molecular weight are fabricated, and the results revealed that the PMMA lines with higher molecular weight were much stronger. After optimization, CKLs with the narrowest lines of 4 µm width can achieve 110 µm height and 2.99 nm surface roughness without deformation. The CKLs were tested at the Diamond Light Source, which provided a focal width of 122 nm for 12 keV x rays. Though the PMMA has a poor radiation tolerance, it has a better process tolerance, and it can lay a good foundation for the fabrication of SU8 based CKLs by LIGA technology, which has a better radiation tolerance. Compared to the Si CKLs fabricated by dry etching, the PMMA CKLs are higher in depth, smoother at the sidewall, and have better nanofocusing.
Optionality in the syntax of Germanic traditional dialects
Authors: Moser Ann-Marie 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
While micro-variation, i.e. variation between dialects or among speakers, has been established and proven in recent years as a research discipline in its own right in (also theoretically informed) linguistics, variation within a speaker that cannot be attributed to sociolinguistic variables has, so far, hardly been studied. We call this form of variation – the occurrence of two different structural options for one function – ‘optionality’. We focus on optionality in syntax and identify at least two different types of optionality: while context or co-text plays a role in the first type, neither constraint seems to be relevant to the choice of one option or the other in the second type.
Resemanticising ‘free’ variation
Authors: Nijs Julie , Van de Velde Freek 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Whether or not languages display ‘free’ variation is a moot point. In this article, we look at a near-synonymous pair in syntax, namely, V1 vs syndetic conditionals in Dutch, and argue that due to diachronic developments, Dutch has been in a situation for quite some time in which these two variants coexist. Despite this coexistence, a state in which they alternate freely is unstable: syntactic/semantic investigation shows that V1 is retreating into a specialised niche of tentativeness and counterfactuality, though the development has not advanced as far as in English, where a similar development can be witnessed. We show the subtle differences between the two types of conditionals with traditional logistic regression as well as with semantic vectors and multidimensional scaling.
Exploring task effects on register variation in second language learners’ writing
Authors: Barkaoui Khaled 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Task-based research often focuses on the main effects of task variables on measures of complexity, accuracy, and
fluency of second language (L2) writing performance. This study aimed to extend this line of research by examining the main and
interaction effects of task type, learner L2 proficiency, and L2 study on register variation in L2 learners’ writing. Each of 42
Chinese learners of English as a foreign language responded to independent and integrated writing tasks before and after nine
months of English language study. Each essay (N = 168) was rated on level of formality and tagged for various
lexico-syntactic features. Overall, integrated essays were judged to use more formal language and were more informationally dense
than were the independent essays. More proficient students were judged to use more formal language than did less proficient
students. After instruction, students’ writing became more formal, more informationally dense, and more narrative. The findings
and their implications for the teaching and assessment of L2 writing are discussed.

Abstract

Objective. Epilepsy is a fairly common condition that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures. The sudden and recurring epilepsy brings a series of safety hazards to patients, which seriously affects the quality of their life. Therefore, real-time diagnosis of electroencephalogram (EEG) in epilepsy patients is of great significance. However, the conventional methods take in a tremendous amount of features to train the models, resulting in high computation cost and low portability. Our objective is to propose an efficient, light and robust seizure detecting and predicting algorithm. Approach. The algorithm is based on an interpretative feature selection method and spatial-temporal causal neural network (STCNN). The feature selection method eliminates the interference factors between different features and reduces the model size and training difficulties. The STCNN model takes both temporal and spatial information to accurately and dynamically track and diagnose the changing of the features. Considering the differences between medical application scenarios and patients, leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) and cross-patient validation (CPV) methods are used to conduct experiments on the dataset collected at the Children’s Hospital Boston (CHB-MIT), Siena and Kaggle competition datasets. Main results. In LOOCV-based method, the detection accuracy and prediction sensitivity have been improved. A significant improvement is also achieved in the CPV-based method. Significance. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm exhibits superior performance and robustness in seizure detection and prediction, which indicates it has higher capability to deal with different and complicated clinical situations.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMount Lawu was recorded to have erupted last on November 28, 1885, releasing volcanic material including magnetic minerals. The material settles in various places carried by the wind and river flow. The movement of wind and river flow is very influential in the process of transporting volcanic material. Large material directly falls around the mountain, usually in the form of large rocks, and undergoes physical and chemical weathering. Small-sized materials such as volcanic ash and small-mass rocks will be carried by the wind and river flows in all directions. However, the displacement does not remove the magnetic minerals contained in it. Magnetic minerals can be evaluated by the method of rock magnetism using MS. Bartington MS2 device with a dependent MS2B sensor by mass. From this tool, the low field susceptibility values in the range of 1467.5 x 10−8m3/Kg – 5262.1 x 10−8m3/Kg and high field susceptibility in the range of 1467,1 x 10−8m3/Kg. The volcanic material of Mount Lawu belongs to the Ilmenite (FeTiO3) group and belongs to the group of weak magnetism. Then further review the frequency-dependent susceptibility (%) to see the magnetic domains contained in the sample. From the magnetic susceptibility data, the percentage of frequency-dependent susceptibility (%) is less than 2%. From these data, the sample is not included in the superparamagnetic (SP) and in general the sample is classified as a multidomain item (MD).

Abstract
The western part of Sumatra has a fairly complex tectonic setting where there is a convergent meeting between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate. These plates form a subduction zone and also the Sumatran Fault. The subduction zone and the Sumatran Fault cause many earthquakes in western Sumatra. This study will identify the location of the earthquake hypocenter, which is quite accurately obtained by relocating the hypocenter and making a cross-section in order to analyze the subduction zone and the Sumatran Fault. Hypocenter relocation can be done using the double difference (DD) method using the hypoDD program. This study used data on the arrival time of P and S waves from BMKG in the range of January 2016 to December 2020. The results of the relocation indicate that contains several earthquakes in groups with an average depth of fewer than 60 km that is close to the main source of the earthquake, namely the subduction zone and the Sumatran Fault, so it can be said that this area has a high level of seismicity.

Abstract
This study is conducted to identify prehistoric tsunami deposit (paleotsunami) in Seubadeh village, located in South Aceh Regency, Aceh province, Indonesia. Regional morphologic and seismic characteristics suggest that Seubadeh village is an area that stores tsunami deposits, both new tsunami deposits and prehistoric tsunami deposits. Therefore, in this study, the search for paleotsunami deposits was carried out in Seubadeh village. The tsunami deposit samples were taken at several points in Seubadeh village using a hand drill with a depth of more than 2 m. Sediment classification of the collected samples using Troels-Smith method shows a candidate layer of paleotsunami tsunami deposit was found between two clay deposits. The layer is dominated by plant roots and shell material. In addition, the sediment samples were sieved using a mesh to evaluate the grain size distribution of clay, silt and sand. The results of the grain size distribution and color evaluation of the respective layer are presented. The results of the analysis of the particle size distribution in the sample and the color of the sample indicate that there are 2 layers that show characteristics as a paleotsunami deposit, namely at a depth of about 170-200 cm and 280-292 cm. The paleotsunami deposit found will be further characterized by an emission spectroscopic technique.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Dyes are a mixture of organic compounds that are synthesized in complex forms and are often used in the process of coloring products in various types of industries, so that this complex structure will be difficult to decompose naturally. Therefore, this dye will accumulate in the liquid waste. The accumulation of these dyes will cause harm to living things and the surrounding environment. Therefore, an effective method is needed to overcome this problem, a method that can be used to reduce the dye content in a simple and environmentally friendly way such as the adsorption method. In this study, the adsorption method using a column was used to absorb dyes from the cationic group, namely methylene blue and rhodamine B with adsorben derived from longan peel waste. In this study, the results obtained were the identification of longan peel containing several functional groups, namely O-H, C-H, C=O, -C-NO2, C=C, C-O-C, and C-N derived from alcohol, carboxylic acid, ester, ether, aromatic nitro compounds, and amines. By using a adsorbent particle size of 106 µm, it can absorb methylene blue and rhodamine B at 30.31 mg/g and 28.28 mg/g, respectively. The absorption of methylene blue with 0.1 gram of adsorbent resulted in an absorption capacity of 59.97 mg/g while 0.2 gram of adsorbent could absorb rhodamine B of 32.40 mg/g.
