Abstract
The brine resources in the Jianghan Basin have abundant reserves. In the Lingbei area of the Jiangling Depression, the brine resources from the Late Cretaceous to Lower Eocene strata have high salinity and rich mineral ion resources. These resources exceed the comprehensive utilization grade and some areas even exceed the industrial grade, indicating broad prospects for development and utilization. In this study, twelve brine samples were collected from the Lingbei area of the Jiangling Depression. The chemical characteristics, element correlation, characteristic coefficient, and isotope characteristics of the brine were analyzed based on the test results. The average salinity of the brine samples was 192.05g/L, and the hydrochemical type was chloride. Correlation analysis revealed that water-rock reactions in various underground reservoirs, such as sandstones and basalts, contributed a significant amount of salt materials. The characteristic coefficient analysis indicated obvious characteristics of sedimentary underground brine, good sealing, and high metamorphism. Furthermore, the analysis of δD-δ18O isotopes suggested that the water samples originated from terrestrial atmospheric precipitation, as they were all on the right side of the atmospheric precipitation.

Abstract
Accurate determination of crop evapotranspiration (ET) in the greenhouse is critical for making scientific irrigation decisions and improving water productivity. In this study, the dynamics of grapevine latent heat (LE), ET and its components were monitored from 2017 to 2019, 2021 by using sap flow + micro-lysimeters and environmental monitoring system. The Penman-Monteith dual crop coefficient (PM), Shuttleworth-Wallace (SW) model and modified SW model (SWm) which was proposed considering the effect of the surface resistance difference between wet and dry soil under drip irrigation, were applied to simulate evaporation (E), transpiration (T) and ET. The results showed that SW and SWm models overestimated T (overestimation rate was 3-11%), while the PM model significantly underestimated T (underestimation rate was 9-18%). The simulation accuracy of three models for E was in the order of SWm>SW>PM. Compared with the SW model, SWm model could significantly reduce the simulation error of E and improved the simulation accuracy (R2 is increased from 0.75-0.81 to 0.92-0.94), while PM model had a poor simulation effect on E (R2 is 0.74-0.89, RMSE is 0.16-0.23mm d-1). ET was underestimated by PM model (underestimation rate was 4-38%) but overestimated by SW and SWm models (overestimation rate was 3-33%). All three models had high simulation accuracy for grapevine ET (R2 >0.97, RMSE is 0.25-0.50 mm d-1), and simulation accuracy of ET was in the order of SWm>SW>PM. Therefore, the SWm model is recommended to simulate ET and its components of greenhouse grapevines in the cold region of northeast China.

Abstract

In the weaving process, yarn tension signals are adversely affected by a considerable amount of uncertain noise sequences, compromising the closed-loop control accuracy of yarn tension. Particularly challenging is the effective preservation of these features when confronted with sudden changes in yarn tension characteristics. To address this issue, we propose an Adaptive Wavelet Threshold Denoising (WTD) optimization method for yarn tension signals based on Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT). The application of EWT decomposes yarn tension signals into components of different frequencies and scales, with wavelet thresholding used for threshold processing of the decomposed signals. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through simulation experiments and on-site data analysis. Results indicate that, compared to the PSO-VMD method and the FastICA method, the SNR after processing with the proposed method is improved by 8.55% and 26.29%, respectively. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) shows that the denoising result curve of this method fits the simulated data curve more closely, and the sudden changes in the signal characteristics are better preserved. Experimental data verification demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed method in denoising tension signals with three different characteristics, with the SNR being maximally improved by 5.32dB while fully preserving the sudden changes in the signal. The proposed method exhibits excellent denoising effects in experiments on yarn tension signals collected at different speeds on a circular winding machine, with a maximum SNR improvement of 5.29dB. It adapts well to the changes in signals that occur under different operating conditions. This method provides a feasible solution for improving the stability and production efficiency of yarn tension in knitting systems.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Hybrid wire arc additive-milling subtractive manufacturing (HWMM) represents an innovative digital direct manufacturing approach for crafting intricate and low-volume structural components by using the two processes alternately. In order to solve the question that the chatter easily occurs and results in the instability of the milling due to the dynamic deposition of the HWMM, a modelling of HWMM was developed by the finite element modal analysis in this paper. Then, a stability region dynamic lobe diagram was drawn according to the dynamic model of robotic milling system "rigid tool-flexible workpiece", which can predict the optimal parameters. Within this parameter optimization range, milling tests demonstrated an absence of chatter. Furthermore, the prediction results of randomly selected parameters within the stable region are in good agreement with the experimental data. Notably, the milling vibration mean and Ra values for the externally chattered sample were 10.5 times and 4.1 times higher, respectively, than those of the stable milling sample devoid of chatter in the same region. In addressing the challenge of diminishing optimization window width with increasing deposition height, and to enhance stability, the impact of stiffeners on natural frequency was investigated. The study revealed that the T-shaped and J-shaped stiffeners induced the most substantial increase in natural frequency, presenting a promising avenue for expanding the process window. A simultaneous dynamic milling strategy of HWMM is proposed based on the stability region simulation and stiffeners assistance, which can determine quickly, and broaden the milling window, and improve the accuracy and efficiency.
Extracellular vesicle-mediated transfer of BACH1 from macrophage promotes vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation via suppressing FNDC5 expression

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Objectives: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from macrophages play crucial roles in the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and hypertensive vascular remodeling. However, the role of BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) in the EVs regulates VSMC proliferation and vascular remodeling is still unclear.
Methods: Normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rat were used as animal models. Primary macrophages and VSMCs were used to study the molecular mechanism. Ultracentrifugation was performed to isolate EVs from macrophages collected from WKY rats (WKY-EVs) and SHR rats (SHR-EVs).
Results: The level of BACH1 in SHR-EVs was significantly higher than that in WKY-EVs. Compared with WKYs, the expression of fibronectin type III domain (FNDC5) in SHR VSMCs decreased, while the content of BACH1 increased. Double luciferase reporter analysis showed that FNDC5 was the target gene of BACH1. FNDC5 improved the proliferation-promoting effect of SHR-EVs in VSMCs. Moreover, SHR-EVs inhibited the expression of FNDC5, but promoted proliferation in VSMCs, and these effects were reversed by the treatment with SHR-EVs from the BACH1 knockdown-treated macrophages. Knockdown of BACH1 reversed the down-regulation of FNDC5, hypertension, VSMC proliferation and vascular remodeling in SHR. Repeated intravenous injection of SHR-EVs increased blood pressure and vascular BACH1 contents, and promoted vascular remodeling of WKYs and SHRs, while WKY-EVs decreased vascular BACH1 and weakened hypertension and vascular remodeling of SHR.
Conclusion: Increased BACH1 in the SHR-EVs enhances VSMC proliferation in SHR by inhibiting FNDC5 expression, and that intervening EV-mediated transfer of BACH1 and inhibition of BACH1 expression in macrophages or up-regulation of FNDC5 may be effective therapeutic strategies in attenuating VSMC proliferation in hypertensive vascular remodeling.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Change detection is a task to identify the location and category of change objects in the reference image and the test image within a specific time interval, that can reduce workload and increase efficiency and reliability in applications such as foreign object intrusion, equipment status monitoring, building or natural resource monitoring, military anomaly monitoring, and so on. To deal with the complicated noise such as dithering, weather, lighting, shadows and background noise in the actual situations, this research combined the Siamese network in conjunction with advanced object detection for object-level change detection. The Siamese network with Structure coefficient is used to extract the fusion difference information between the reference image and the test image to be measured to resist the registration error and unrelated interference between images, which is used for YOLO V5 to detect the effective rectangular boxes and category of the change objects. Four public datasets of different scenes include LEVIR-CD, VL-CMU-CD, AICD-2012 and CDNET-2014 are used in multiple comparative experiments, and the experimental results proved that our method achieved higher accuracy than existing object-level methods and less false detections than existing pixel-level methods.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Radiophotoluminescence Glass Dosimeters (RPLGDs) are part of the luminescence family of dosimeters just like Thermoluminescence Dosimeters (TLDs). For years now, Panasonic TLDs have been used for both personal and environmental monitoring in South Africa and have limitations. Although both TLDs and RPLGDs utilise thermoluminescence phenomenon, exceptional properties of RPLGDs are studied. Three radiation sources (i.e., 60Co, 137Cs, & 241Am) were used to characterize the response of RPLGDs when exposed to different radiation doses. Ability of RPLGDs to be read more than once without losing original signal was studied. RPLGDs were investigated for their ability to measure both personal and environmental monitoring. Substitution method was used to determine the reference measurements on all radiation source setups. Two ionization chambers were used as reference detectors and RPLGDs as the Unit Under Test (UUT) on each radiation source setup. Dose rates were used to determine the time of the prescribed radiation doses. RPLGDs were exposed to the same time as the reference detectors to accumulate radiation signal which was corrected to determine air kerma and absorbed dose to water. All the corrections that affected the response of UUT were implemented on the final readings to characterise RPLGDs by comparing with the prescribed dose.

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two high intensity training protocols on serum levels of, Glypican-4 in overweight and obese women.
Design, Methods: Thirty-seven overweight and obese females were randomized into three groups, a HIIT (n=12), HICT (n=12) and a control group (n=13). The training groups performed three training sessions per week for a duration of ten weeks. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were collected at baseline and following ten weeks of training. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.
Results: Post ten weeks training, glypican-4 concentration (HIIT: p=.015, HICT: p=.014) HOMA-IR (p<0.001), fasting glucose (p<0.001), fasting insulin (HIIT: p=.015, HICT: P=.037), body weight (p<0.001), body mass index (p=0.001), body fat percentage (p<0.001), FM (p <0.001), WC (p<0.001), WHR (p< 0.001) significantly decreased in the training groups when compared with baseline values. These variables also significantly decreased in the training groups when compared to the control group (p<0.05). There was also a significant group x time interaction effects observed during the analysis, and decreases were also noted when comparisons with the control group were made.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that both HIIT and HICT exercise training protocols effectively decrease glypican-4 concentrations while improving anthropometric profiles in overweight and obese females.

Abstract
The Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is an emerging zoonotic virus causing severe and mostly fatal encephalitis in humans. Increasing evidence of human infections by BoDV-1 has highlighted the importance of antiviral drugs against BoDV-1. However, the process of BoDV-1 infection and its pathogenic mechanism remain elusive and there are few drugs targeting BoDV-1 infection. Our previous research suggests that BoDV-1 infects cells through lipid-related pathways. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in lipid rafts (LR) has been identified to participate in various viral infections. In this study, we reported that the LR-HSP70-Caspase-3 axis engages BoDV-1 invasion and host cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, the LR inhibitor, Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD), interferes the localization HSP70 to LR and prevents BoDV-1 entry without reducing cell viability.Furthermore, we confirmed that the HSP70 is recruited into LR after BoDV-1 invasion by HSP70 knockdown and overexpression assays. And the migration of HSP70 to LR weakened the interaction between HSP70 and Caspase-3, which reducing the chaperone protective ability of HSP70 to Caspase-3, increasing the intracellular active Caspase-3 and promoting host cell apoptosis. Importantly, the MβCD treatment can effectively alleviate the symptoms and pathological changes in a model of BoDV-1 encephalitis, suggesting a significant antiviral effect in vivo. Our report reveals the process of BoDV-1 invasion and the mechanisms by which MβCD inhibits the infection, offering potential guidance for the development in the targeted treatment of BoDV-1 infection.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the status of self-management efficacy and its correlation with Post-traumatic Growth and resilience in patients with NasoPharyngeal Carcinoma treated with radiotherapy, and to explore the influencing factors.
Methods In March to December 2022, NasoPharyngeal Carcinoma radiotherapy patients in a Class ⅲ Grade a hospital in Nanjing were selected as the research objects by convenience sampling. The general information Questionnaire, Cancer Self-Management Efficacy Scale, Post-traumatic Growth Rating Scale and 10-item Psychological Resilience Scale were used to investigate the patients. Pearson、Spearman correlation analysis and Hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of self-management efficacy of NasoPharyngeal Carcinoma radiotherapy patients.
Results In this study, the current score of self-management efficacy of NasoPharyngeal Carcinoma radiotherapy patients was (93.80±24.13). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between self-management efficacy and post-traumatic growth in nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy patients (r=0.630, P < 0.01), and Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between self-management efficacy and mental toughness (r=0.509, P < 0.01).The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that post-traumatic growth and resilience could positively predict the subjects' self-management efficacy after controlling individual characteristics variables, DR2=0.348, and the two could explain 34.8% of the total variables, and the cumulative could explain 47.4% of the total variables.
Conclusions In this study, the self-management efficacy of NasoPharyngeal Carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy is at a medium level, and Post-traumatic Growth and psychological resilience are the influencing factors. Medical staff should pay more attention to the negative emotions of patients and adopt reasonable intervention methods to enhance their self-management efficacy.
The association between self-rated autistic traits, social camouflaging, and mental health outcome in Taiwanese anime, game and comic (ACG) doujin creators: An exploratory study
Authors: Kuo Yen-Chun , Ni Hsing-Chang , Liu Chun-Hao 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
Doujin (どうじん) is a Japanese term referred to a circle where people share the same interests, usually something that belongs to Anime, Comics, and Games (ACG) subculture. Individuals who belong to it and create related works, known as ACG doujin creators, are usually described as being socially awkward and are under potential risk of isolation. In such a context, they may theoretically exhibit heightened levels of autistic traits, manifest camouflaging tendencies and consequently have effects on their mental health. Nonetheless, the impact of autistic trait and camouflaging on mental health in this subculture remains significantly underexplored.
Methods
We recruited 183 Taiwanese ACG doujin creators (age ranges from 18 to 41, 146 female and 37 male) via social networking platforms. Participants completed Chinese online surveys assessing socio-demographic information, doujin activities, past psychiatric history, the 35-item Version of Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ-35), Chinese version Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q-Ch), the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Linear regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between the aforementioned scales.
Results
Our findings revealed that among ACG doujin creators, there were no significant sex differences in any of the scales examined. Moreover, we observed a positive association between camouflaging behavior and most AQ-35 subscales after controlling of age and sex, with the exception of the mindreading subscale. Additionally, we identified that camouflaging and autistic traits, rather than sex, were significantly linked to higher scores of PHQ-9 and GAD-7.
Conclusions
Through this study, we gained insight into the distinctive characteristics of autistic traits, camouflaging behaviours, and mental health among Taiwanese ACG doujin creators, as the findings are divergent compared to previous research. This topic may hold significant promise for further investigation.
Analysing Spatiotemporal Drought Patterns in Punjab Province, Pakistan, Utilizing SPI and SPEI
Authors: Hussain Anwar , Suliman Muhammad 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) are applied in this study to examine drought features at different Punjab Province stations. We examine drought occurrence through drought frequency, concentrating on spatial and temporal scales and considering different geomorphologies. A modified Mann-Kendall test and multiple linear regression are used to examine monthly data from 12 weather stations collected between 1980 and 2020. Stations at high elevations have very variable precipitation, which can lead to periodic droughts. Surprisingly, SPEI shows more drought sensitivity than SPI. The severity of the drought has decreased recently, especially after the 1998–2002 peak period. Correlation analysis demonstrates a substantial link between SPI and SPEI at high elevation stations, with Murree displaying the strongest correlation (0.9334) on a one-month time frame, and Bahawalpur exhibiting a comparably lower correlation (0.6824). Positive trends in SPI and SPEI values are revealed by Mann-Kendall trend tests, which are most prominent at higher elevations and on the northern side of Punjab. On a one-month time scale, the Mianwali station has the strongest trend in SPEI (0.1497), whereas Bahawalnagar has negligible trends in both SPI (0.0214) and SPEI (0.0459). At high elevation sites, the frequency of drought is constantly high, and SPEI routinely detects greater drought at low elevations. Similar drought frequencies are shown by both indexes for the northern region of Punjab. The results of a multiple linear regression model demonstrate the significant impact of meteorological variables on monthly mean precipitation, which advances our knowledge of Punjab's spatiotemporal drought dynamics and provides important information for planning for resilience and water resource management.
