Authors: Wu Chongzhi , Li Mingkai , Wang Zongkui , Peng Zhenguo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
During the manufacturing and installation of nuclear power equipment and components, welding-related nonconformance reports (NCRs) prepared by initiators for evaluation vary considerably in quality, influencing working efficiency and project progress. In accordance with the project practices, this article tries to determine the reasons for low-quality welding-related NCR content from three aspects: document flow process, skill levels of technicians, and nonconforming-item control procedure. The technical evaluation requirements on welding-related NCRs are put forward from the perspective of design evaluation in accordance with regulations, standards, design principles, professional knowledge, and engineering practices. According to human performance theory, these evaluation requirements can be used to guide the preparation and review of welding-related NCRs. The inherent logic behind these requirements is to help the initiators and reviewers of welding-related NCRs transform their knowledge-based behavior modes to rule-based behavior modes, thus greatly improving the content quality of NCRs.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
This research addresses the mathematical solution of the elastic catenary, a fundamental problem in offshore mooring engineering. A novel exact solution in a non-Lagrangian form is developed through rigorous mathematical derivation, distinguishing it from classical Lagrangian solutions. The procedure is reported in detail, and the resulting expressions are applied to analyze the mooring system of a reference floating turbine. A general approach is introduced to solve the transcendental equations associated with catenary mooring problems. The newly derived formulae exhibit greater applicability to geometry-to-force problems compared to existing Lagrangian expressions, making them particularly useful for conceptual designs and front-end engineering. In summary, this work provides valuable new insights into the exact solution of the elastic catenary, enhancing understanding and enabling practical applications in the field of floating wind turbines.

Abstract
A horizontal smooth copper tube and two enhanced tubes (a dimpled tube and a diamond-shaped tube) with a length of 2 m and an outer diameter of 9.52 mm were studied in a two-phase condensation experiment using R410A and R32 as heat transfer working fluids. The condensation heat transfer performance of different heat transfer tubes at various mass fluxes ranging from 150 to 400 kg/(m2s) and different vapor qualities ranging from 0.8 to 0.2 was studied experimentally. For R410A, the heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) of the dimpled tube and the diamond-shaped tube were found to be 1.39–1.52 times and 1.30–1.35 times higher than those of the smooth tube, respectively. For R32, the HTCs were found to be 1.46–1.59 times higher for the dimpled tube and 1.26–1.35 times higher for the diamond-shaped tube than for the smooth tube. The diamond-shaped tube was found to be effective in directing the flow of the liquid phase and in thinning the liquid film thickness. The dimpled tube was found to promote droplet entrainment and disturbance. Both of those effects contributed to improving the HTCs in the two enhanced tubes investigated. The HTCs of R410A were found to be lower than those of R32 because of the smaller specific heat capacity, smaller latent heat of condensation, and relatively poorer thermal conductivity of R410A. Taking the combined effect of heat transfer and pressure drop into account, a performance enhancement factor (PEF) was computed and was found to range from 0.9 to 1.51. Based on the experimental data collected, a new empirical correlation equation has been proposed with a maximum error band of 10%. Flow pattern maps for the tested tubes have also been generated and are presented in the paper. Both of the two enhanced tubes were found to promote the development of annular flow. The HTCs were found to be highest when the flow pattern was of the annular flow type.
Theoretical Analysis and Photothermal Experimental Study of a Segmented Specular Reflection Solar Concentrator
Authors: Zhang Qian , Chen Song 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this paper, a segmented specular reflection solar concentrator is proposed. Many mirrors are arranged in the same plane, and all the reflected rays fall on the cylindrical focal surface. The glass mirrors are placed in different positions, tilt angles, and widths, and reflect light without blocking each other. Through the theoretical analysis of this type of concentrating system, in the same space span, with the increase of the installation height of the cylindrical focal surface, the concentrating ratio and area utilization rate gradually increase. The area utilization ratio is related to the ratio of mirror installation span and receiver height, and the concentrating ratio is linear to the number of mirrors. Through multiple groups of photothermal experimental analysis, it can be concluded that under the same heat collection temperature, the greater the radiation intensity received of the heat collecting tube, the higher the heat collection efficiency of the solar collecting system.
The Gram-negative permeability barrier: tipping the balance of the in and the out
Authors: Maher Claire , Hassan Karl A. 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Gram-negative bacteria are intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics, due in large part to the permeability barrier formed by their cell envelope. The complex and synergistic interplay of the two Gram-negative membranes and active efflux prevents the accumulation of a diverse range of compounds that are effective against Gram-positive bacteria. A lack of detailed information on how components of the cell envelope contribute to this has been identified as a key barrier to the rational development of new antibiotics with efficacy against Gram-negative species. This review describes the current understanding of the role of the different components of the Gram-negative cell envelope in preventing compound accumulation and the state of efforts to describe properties that allow compounds to overcome this barrier and apply them to the development of new broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Rationale177Lu-PSMA ([177Lu]Lutetium-PSMA-617) therapy is an effective treatment option for patients with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, but still shows a non-responder rate of approximately 30%. Combination regimes of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibition and concomitant177Lu-PSMA therapy have been proposed to increase the response rate. However, the interplay of immune landscape and177Lu-PSMA therapy efficacy is poorly understood.MethodsBetween March 2018 and December 2021, a total of 168 patients were referred to177Lu-PSMA therapy in our department and received a mean total dose of 21.9 GBq (three cycles in mean). All patients received baseline PSMA positron emission tomography to assess the PSMA uptake. The histopathological specimen of the primary prostate tumor was available with sufficient RNA passing quality control steps for genomic analysis in n=23 patients. In this subset of patients, tumor RNA transcriptomic analyses assessed 74 immune-related features in total, out of which n=24 signatures were not co-correlated and investigated further for outcome prognostication.ResultsIn the subset of patients who received177Lu-PSMA therapy, PD-L1 was not significantly associated with OS (HR per SD change (95% CI) 0.74 (0.42 to 1.30); SD: 0.18; p=0.29). In contrast, PD-L2 signature was positively associated with longer OS (HR per SD change 0.46 (95% CI 0.29 to 0.74); SD: 0.24; p=0.001; median OS 17.2 vs 5.7 months in higher vs lower PD-L2 patients). In addition, PD-L2 signature correlated with PSA-response (ϱ=−0.46; p=0.04). The PD-L2 signature association with OS was significantly moderated by L-Lactatdehydrogenase (LDH) levels (Cox model interaction p=0.01).ConclusionHigher PD-L2 signature might be associated with a better response to177Lu-PSMA therapy and warrants further studies investigating additional immunotherapy. In contrast, PD-L1 was not associated with outcome. The protective effect of PD-L2 signature might be present only in men with lower LDH levels.
A note on the zero divisor graph of the ring of Lipschitz integers modulo n
Authors: Zhang Hengbin , Li Libin 
Published: October 2023

In a recent paper, Grau et al. studied the zero divisor graphs of the ring of Lipschitz integers modulo [Formula: see text], and computed the domination number of the undirected zero divisor graph of the ring of Lipschitz integers modulo [Formula: see text]. But the case [Formula: see text] is a power of prime numbers remained open. In this paper, this problem is solved. We also show the automorphism group of the zero divisor graph of the ring of Lipschitz integers modulo [Formula: see text].
Overview of Assets 2022

Published: October 2023

The 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2022), was held in Athens, Greece between October 23rd to 26th, 2022. ASSETS continues to be the premier computing research conference exploring the design, evaluation, and use of computing and information technologies with and for people with disabilities and older adults. ASSETS 2022 was held in-person for the first time since 2019. Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, a lightweight online component for virtual conference attendees was conducted as well. In order to support both accessibility and inclusivity, and balancing technical infrastructure and time-zone constraints, all presentations were also pre-recorded and captioned to support both virtual and in-person conference attendees. There were additional creative opportunities for hybrid connections and socializing across modalities, including online trivia and roundtable social networking events. We acknowledge that future ASSETS organizing committees will need to make their own decisions about the length and format of the conference, and so the decision to have an in-person with light-weight online component is not a permanent decision.
Overall, ASSETS 2022 had 161 in-person and 146 virtual attendees from 38 countries and 6 continents. For the first time, we hosted 5 virtual workshops, with 94 workshop-only attendees.
Benchmarking the Generation of Fact Checking Explanations
Authors: Russo Daniel , Tekiroğlu Serra Sinem , Guerini Marco 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Fighting misinformation is a challenging, yet crucial, task. Despite the growing number of experts being involved in manual fact-checking, this activity is time-consuming and cannot keep up with the ever-increasing amount of fake news produced daily. Hence, automating this process is necessary to help curb misinformation. Thus far, researchers have mainly focused on claim veracity classification. In this paper, instead, we address the generation of justifications (textual explanation of why a claim is classified as either true or false) and benchmark it with novel datasets and advanced baselines. In particular, we focus on summarization approaches over unstructured knowledge (i.e., news articles) and we experiment with several extractive and abstractive strategies. We employed two datasets with different styles and structures, in order to assess the generalizability of our findings. Results show that in justification production summarization benefits from the claim information, and, in particular, that a claim-driven extractive step improves abstractive summarization performances. Finally, we show that although cross-dataset experiments suffer from performance degradation, a unique model trained on a combination of the two datasets is able to retain style information in an efficient manner.

Abstract
The primates of Mexico, Ateles geoffroyi, Alouatta palliata, and Alouatta pigra, are seriously threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and illegal hunting and trade. Very little is known about the extent of illegal trade and its impacts on declining primate populations. Our study proposes a potential method based on estimating the number of individuals that die in the trade before being detected and those that probably cannot be detected. This facilitates estimating the number of animals extracted and allows an assessment of how trafficking impacts their populations. We derive estimates from seizure data of primates in Mexico between 2010 and 2019. To do this, we created wildlife detection rates and mortality rates from the existing literature (scientific articles, journalistic articles, and notes) to estimate the number of primates that die during capture, transport, and sale and the number of trafficked primates that were not detected by Mexican authorities. We estimate that 946 primates were removed from the wild for the pet trade each year (spider monkey Ateles geoffroyi = 854; black howler monkeys Alouatta pigra = 38, mantled howler monkey Alouatta palliata = 54). The annual reduction in population size caused by trafficking was greatest for Ateles geoffroyi (2.2%), followed by Alouatta pigra (1.3%), and Alouatta palliata (0.4%). Our estimates show the percentage of impacts that trafficking has on Mexican primate populations. Nevertheless, trade has the potential to impact declining populations and still must be addressed.
Claw autotomy does not influence digging ability in the Hillbilly Hairy Crayfish, Cambarus polypilosus

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Autotomy is the self-induced loss of a body part, which has evolved in animals at least nine times. Historically, autotomy has been seen as an anti-predator response that increases an animal’s chances of escape and survival. However, autotomy can also provide benefits such as reducing the cost of injury, increasing reproductive success, and allowing escape from non-predatory entrapments. One group of animals that has a high occurrence of autotomy are decapod crustaceans, such as crayfishes, where up to 50% of individuals may have autotomized appendages. In the current study, we investigate the effect of claw autotomy on the digging behaviour in the Hillbilly Hairy Crayfish, Cambarus polypilosus. Our results demonstrate that there was no influence on digging regardless of whether one or two claws were autotomized. Further, we demonstrate that the claws of C. polypilosus are sexually monomorphic, which is unusual among crustaceans.

Summary
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a major spice of Indian origin. Turmeric is commonly used in Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine, and also in Indian cuisine. India produces nearly 1.2 million tonnes (Mt) of turmeric annually and is one of the world’s largest producers. Turmeric production is limited by a number of biotic and abiotic factors. Among the biotic factors, plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) are important. They include Meloidogyne spp., Pratylenchus spp., Radopholus similis and Rotylenchulus reniformis. However, the information about the distribution, density and prominence of plant-parasitic nematodes and their interrelation with soil types is very scarce. Hence, the present comprehensive nematode survey was undertaken in the major turmeric-producing states of India: Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Odisha. The results indicated that Meloidogyne spp., R. reniformis, Pratylenchus spp., R. similis, Hoplolaimus spp., Helicotylenchus spp. and Tylenchorhynchus spp. were associated with turmeric. The most abundant nematodes were Meloidogyne spp. (115 individuals (100 cm3 soil)−1), followed by R. reniformis (68 (100 cm3 soil)−1) and Pratylenchus spp. (50 (100 cm3 soil)−1). The frequency of occurrence ranged from 0 to 60%, with Meloidogyne spp. (60%) and R. reniformis (51%) being the most common. Meloidogyne spp. (38%) and Pratylenchus spp. (19%) were the most prominent nematodes in plant samples. Overall, Meloidogyne spp. followed by Pratylenchus spp., R. reniformis and R. similis were the key nematodes associated with the turmeric crop in all the four states. Further, we have identified hotspot areas for the plant-parasitic nematodes, namely: Meloidogyne spp. (16), Pratylenchus spp. (16), R. reniformis (20), and R. similis (5) on the basis of the economic threshold level. The interrelationship of soil type and nematode distribution was also investigated.
Rights of Rivers in a Changing Climate
Authors: McClelland Roanna 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Climate change presents a risk to drinking water, water supply for industry, energy, and agriculture, and to water-related ecosystems broadly. Parties to the unfccc focused attention on water issues in the 2022 Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan of cop 27, recognizing the critical role of ‘protecting, conserving and restoring water systems and water-related ecosystems in delivering climate adaptation benefits and co-benefits’ and urging the integration of water considerations into adaptation efforts. At the same time, water norms are emerging around rivers and bodies of water, prompting a radical rethinking of the way we manage freshwater. This commentary examines an evolving transnational water norm – rights or personhood for rivers – and considers the limits and possibilities of this norm in a climate change context. Drawing on case law in domestic jurisdictions, it shows that recognizing the limits and possibilities of emerging transnational water norms is a crucial part of the climate-water nexus.

Abstract
Objective
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the primary hepatic consequence of obesity, is affecting about 25% of the global adult population. The aim of this study was to examine the in vivo role of STE20-type protein kinase TAOK3, which has been previously reported to regulate hepatocellular lipotoxicity in vitro, in the development of NAFLD and systemic insulin resistance in the context of obesity.

Methods
Taok3 knockout mice and wild-type littermates were challenged with a high-fat diet. Various in vivo tests were performed to characterize the whole-body metabolism. NAFLD progression in the liver, and lipotoxic damage in adipose tissue, kidney, and skeletal muscle were compared between the genotypes by histological assessment, immunofluorescence microscopy, protein and gene expression profiling, and biochemical assays. Intracellular lipid accumulation and oxidative/ER stress were analyzed in cultured human and mouse hepatocytes where TAOK3 was knocked down by small interfering RNA. The expression of TAOK3-related STE20-type kinases was quantified in different organs from high-fat diet-fed Taok3–/– and wild-type mice.

Results
TAOK3 deficiency had no impact on body weight or composition, food consumption, locomotor activity, or systemic glucose or insulin homeostasis in obese mice. Consistently, Taok3–/– mice and wild-type littermates developed a similar degree of high-fat diet-induced liver steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, and we detected no difference in lipotoxic damage of adipose tissue, kidney, or skeletal muscle when comparing the two genotypes. In contrast, the silencing of TAOK3 in vitro markedly suppressed ectopic lipid accumulation and metabolic stress in mouse and human hepatocytes. Interestingly, the hepatic mRNA abundance of several TAOK3-related kinases, which have been previously implicated to increase the risk of NAFLD susceptibility, was significantly elevated in Taok3–/–vs. wild-type mice.

Conclusions
In contrast to the in vitro observations, genetic deficiency of TAOK3 in mice failed to mitigate the detrimental metabolic consequences of chronic exposure to dietary lipids, which may be partly attributable to the activation of liver-specific compensation response for the genetic loss of TAOK3 by related STE20-type kinases.

Abstract
Background
A simulated education, prior to surgery about postoperative nasal stuffiness and ease of breathing through the mouth may help patients tolerate discomfort after nasal surgery. This study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative simulated education on immediate postoperative opioid requirements in patients undergoing elective nasal surgery.

Methods
This randomized controlled trial of 110 patients undergoing nasal surgery randomly allocated patients into either a control (group C) or an education group (group E). One day before surgery, patients in group E were intensively trained to breathe through the mouth by using a nasal clip, with informative explanations about inevitable nasal obstruction and discomfort following surgery. Patients in group C were provided with routine preoperative information. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil was used for anesthesia. No further opioid was used for analgesia intraoperatively. The primary outcome was index opioid (fentanyl) requirements at the post-anesthesia recovery unit (PACU). Secondary outcomes were emergence agitation, pain scores at the PACU, and postoperative recovery using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR15-K).

Results
The rate of opioid use in the PACU was 51.0% in the group E and 39.6% in the group C (p = 0.242). Additional request for analgesics other than index opioid was not different between the groups. Emergence agitation, postoperative pain severity, and QoR15-K scores were comparable between the groups.

Conclusion
Preoperative education with simulated mouth breathing in patients undergoing nasal surgery did not reduce opioid requirements.
