Large‐scale seismic soil–structure interaction analysis via efficient finite element modeling and multi‐GPU parallel explicit algorithm
Authors: Zhao Mi , Ding Qingpeng , Cao Shengtao , Li Zhishan , Du Xiuli 
Published: February 2024

AbstractAs urban population increases, integrated underground–aboveground complexes are being constructed at growing paces in major cities. The seismic analysis of such complexes is crucial for the safety and functionality in the threat of potential earthquake disasters. However, fine‐grained numerical modeling and analysis of such large and complex structures are still inefficient due to the consideration of the soil–structure interaction (SSI). To address this challenge, an efficient approach for numerical modeling of large‐scale seismic SSI analysis is presented in this paper to overcome the limitations of existing finite element analysis (FEA) software. Moreover, a multi‐graphic processing unit (GPU) parallel explicit algorithm is implemented for the nonlinear dynamic SSI problems to further increase the computational efficiency. A large underground–aboveground complex project in China is used as an example to demonstrate the capability of the integrated method. The accuracy and reliability of the multi‐GPU parallel explicit finite element algorithm for SSI analysis (GFEA‐SSIA) are verified through a comparative analysis of the linear‐elastic and nonlinear dynamic response of the building calculated by GFEA‐SSIA and common FEA software. Finally, the structural response and structural damage of the underground–aboveground complex are analyzed under multidirectional seismic motions, and the damage distributions of the structures are provided.

AbstractA 79‐year‐old man with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, vasospastic angina, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm was transferred to our hospital with headache and anorexia 3 days prior to presentation. Brain computed tomography (CT) revealed left‐dominant intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). T2*‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance venography revealed a low‐intensity lesion and a deficit, respectively, inside the vein of Galen, leading to the diagnosis of Galen vein thrombosis. Anticoagulants were administered. Consequently, his symptoms resolved, and brain CT revealed improvement in the IVH. Magnetic resonance venography confirmed the recanalization of the vein of Galen. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), including Galen vein thrombosis, can cause primary IVH. In cases of primary IVH of unknown etiology, even in elderly patients, clinicians should suspect CVT and magnetic resonance imaging should be performed.

AbstractObjectivesThe present study aims to quantitatively assess secondary alveolar bone graft (SABG) resorption in unilateral cleft lip, alveolus and palate (UCLAP) patients in a 2–3 year longitudinal follow‐up setting by using a validated 3D protocol. Furthermore, the potential relation of SABG resorption with maxillary canine position and a number of patient‐related factors was investigated.MethodsUCLAP patients who underwent SABG and had good quality CBCT images at the following timepoints were included in the study: pre‐operative (T0), immediate (T1), 6 months (T2) and either 1–2 years (T3) or 2–3 years (T4) post‐operative. The final bone grafted region was defined on the T1 scans and refined in the registered T0 scans. The bone graft after resorption was determined by applying threshold‐based segmentation on the registered T2, T3 or T4 scans within the segmented bone graft volume. The position of the canines was determined at every timepoint at the cleft and non‐cleft side.ResultsForty‐five UCLAP patients (mean age 9.0 ± 1.3 years) were included. In the first 6 months after SABG, 43.6% bone resorption was recorded. 2–3 years post‐operative, 56% bone resorption was found if the maxillary canine was not yet erupted and 42.7% if it erupted through the graft. The vertical position of the canines was significantly higher on the cleft side at T3.ConclusionsThe present study reports significant SABG resorption over time. However, no correlation was found between SABG resorption and canine position, nor between other patient‐related factors.

An evaluation of societal perception of monkeypox in terms of disease anxiety and stress levels: A Turkish sample
Authors: Yeşiltepe Akgün , ÇAL Ayşe 
Published: February 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this research was to examine community perception of monkeypox in terms of epidemic anxiety and stress levels.MethodsThis research was performed as a descriptive, cross‐sectional study. The research was conducted with 1001 individuals between September and December 2022. AMOS 24, JAMOVI, and SPSS version 25 software were employed. The data were collected using a descriptive form, the Epidemic Anxiety Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale.ResultsThe mean Epidemic Anxiety Scale score was 52.47 ± 14.52, and the mean Perceived Stress Scale score was 41.88 ± 6.83. Significant positive correlation was determined between the Epidemic Anxiety Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale (r = 0.350, p = .000). A one‐unit increase in perceived stress caused a 0.360 increase in epidemic anxiety (ß = 0.360). In addition, having heard of and fearing monkeypox, thinking about its ability to cause an epidemic, and perceived stress emerged as significant predictors of epidemic anxiety.ConclusionThe community was found to exhibit a moderate level of epidemic anxiety and a low level of perceived stress. Epidemic anxiety levels increased in line with perceived stress levels. We recommend that individuals in need receive support by determining epidemic anxiety and perceived stress levels in the community.

AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between different levels of cognitively stimulating leisure activity (CSLA) participation and different levels of positive and negative affect among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).MethodsUsing a repeated‐measured multivariate analysis of covariance (RM‐MANCOVA), this study analyzed the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) data from 2012 to 2020 (N = 5932).ResultsThe results presented the following. (a) The high CSLA group showed higher positive affect and lower negative affect than the mid and low groups. Also, the mid‐CSLA group presented higher positive affect and lower negative affect than the low CSLA group. (b) Both positive and negative affect showed significant differences between years and indicated a continuously declining slope year by year without exceptions. (c) The high CSLA group not only presented higher positive affect and lower negative affect during the period but also solely showed a rebounding feature in the declining slope on both emotions.ConclusionsThe findings of this study provide valuable support for the design and implementation of CSLA participation programs and clinical guidelines for older adults with MCI. The results highlight the importance of determining the optimal level of CSLA engagement that is required to promote emotional health and cognitive function in this population. Healthcare professionals and clinical practitioners can leverage the insights gained from this study to develop and deliver effective CSLA interventions tailored to the specific needs and capacities of older adults with MCI.
In situ sulfur isotope analysis of pyrite from the Ezuri Kuroko‐type volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit, northeastern Japan: Contribution of microbial sulfate reduction to initial sulfide mineralization

Published: February 2024

AbstractVolcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are ancient analogues of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits. The importance and contribution of microbial activity during initial mineralization has recently been recognized in both VMS and SMS deposits. Here, we report in situ sulfur isotope compositions (δ34S) of pyrite from the Ezuri Kuroko‐type VMS deposit in northeastern Japan as determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. During the evolutionary process of sulfide mineralization, pyrite textures changed from framboidal to colloform to euhedral. Initial framboidal pyrite had highly negative δ34S values down to −31.8‰ (average ± 1SD = −18.8‰ ± 13.0‰; n = 21), banded colloform pyrite exhibited medium δ34S values (−11.7‰ ± 10.4‰; n = 8), and euhedral pyrite displayed the highest average δ34S value of +2.7‰ ± 1.6‰ (n = 5); thus, δ34S varied as different textures of pyrite were produced during mineralization. The maximum isotopic fractionation between framboidal pyrite and past seawater sulfate (δ34S ca. +20‰) is −52‰; such values can be produced only by microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) in an open system. Framboidal pyrite with a low δ34S value is observed at the centers of sulfide‐rich areas within polished sections and has often been replaced by later sulfide minerals (sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite); thus, our S isotope data from the Ezuri pyrite reveal that sulfur derived from MSR induced and acted as a nucleation point for later sulfide mineral growth. Combined with previously reported data, our results endorse the importance and universality of MSR‐derived sulfur during the initial mineralization stage of both VMS and SMS deposits.

AbstractBackgroundRegulatory aspects of transfusion medicine add complexity in blinded transfusion trials when considering various electronic record keeping software and blood administration processes. The aim of this study is to explore strategies when blinding transfusion components and products in paper and electronic medical records.MethodsSurveys were collected and interviews were conducted for 18 sites across various jurisdictions in North America to determine solutions applied in previous transfusion randomized control trials.ResultsSixteen responses were collected of which 11 had previously participated in a transfusion randomized control trial. Various solutions were reported which were specific to the laboratory information system (LIS) and electronic medical record (EMR) combinations although solutions could be grouped into four categories which included the creation of a study product code in the LIS, preventing the transmission of data from the LIS to the EMR, utilizing specialized stickers and labels to conceal product containers and documents in the paper records, and modified bedside procedures and documentation.DiscussionLIS and EMR combinations varied across sites, so it was not possible to determine combination‐specific solutions. The study was able to highlight solutions that may be emphasized in future iterations of LIS and EMR software as well as procedural changes that may minimize the risk of unblinding.

AbstractBackgroundAdministering platelets through a rapid infuser is proven to be safe. However, the clinical significance of infusing ABO‐incompatible platelets with red blood cells (RBCs) in a rapid infuser remains unclear. There is a theoretical risk that isoagglutinin in the plasma of a platelet unit can interact with RBCs and induce hemolysis.Materials and MethodsSeven in vitro studies were performed including five cases (type A RBCs and type O platelets) and two controls (type A RBCs and platelets). Anti‐A titers were measured in platelet units. An RBC unit and a platelet unit were mixed in the rapid infuser reservoir and incubated for 30 min. The primary outcome was the presence of hemolysis based on the following parameters: free hemoglobin concentration, hemolysis check, direct antiglobulin test (DAT), and direct agglutination.ResultsThe post‐mix DAT was positive for IgG in all test samples (5/5), and weakly positive for complement in 3/5. The changes in free Hb in test cases between measured and calculated post‐mix spanned −2.2 to +3.4 mg/dL. Post‐mix hemolysis check was negative in 3/5 and slightly positive in 2/5 cases, with no significant differences compared to the control case. Anti‐A titers ranged from 16 to 512 and were not associated with hemolysis. All samples were negative for direct agglutination.ConclusionOur study suggested that mixing ABO‐incompatible platelets with RBCs in a rapid infuser does not induce in vitro hemolysis. These findings support the use of rapid infusers regardless of platelet compatibility in support of hemostatic resuscitation.
Lie theory and cohomology of relative Rota–Baxter operators
Authors: Jiang Jun , Sheng Yunhe , Zhu Chenchang 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we establish a local Lie theory for relative Rota–Baxter operators of weight 1. First we recall the category of relative Rota–Baxter operators of weight 1 on Lie algebras and construct a cohomology theory for them. We use the second cohomology group to study infinitesimal deformations of relative Rota–Baxter operators and modified ‐matrices. Then we introduce a cohomology theory of relative Rota–Baxter operators on a Lie group. We construct the differentiation functor from the category of relative Rota–Baxter operators on Lie groups to that on Lie algebras, and extend it to the cohomology level by proving the Van Est theorem between the two cohomology theories. We integrate a relative Rota–Baxter operator of weight 1 on a Lie algebra to a local relative Rota–Baxter operator on the corresponding Lie group, and show that the local integration and differentiation are adjoint to each other. Finally, we give two applications of our integration of Rota–Baxter operators: one is to give an explicit formula for the factorization problem, and the other is to provide an integration for matched pairs.
Experimental Investigation of Part Load Vortex Rope Mitigation With Rod Protrusion in an Axial Turbine

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The present paper investigates the rotating vortex rope (RVR) mitigation on an axial turbine model by the radial protrusion of four cylindrical rods into the draft tube. RVR mitigation is of particular interest due to the unfavorable pressure pulsations it induces in the hydraulic circuit that can affect turbine life and performance. The protrusion lengths, which were the same among the four rods, were varied according to a predefined sequence. The experiments were performed under four part-load regimes ranging from upper part load to deep part load. Time-resolved pressure measurements were conducted at two sections on the draft tube wall along with high-speed videography and efficiency measurement to investigate the effect of the mitigation technique on the RVR characteristics and turbine performance. The recorded pressure data were decomposed and studied through spectral analyses, phase-averaging, and statistical analyses of the RVR frequency and peak-to-peak pressure amplitude distributions. The results showed different levels of pressure amplitude mitigation ranging from approximately 10% to 85% depending on the operating condition, protrusion length, and the method of analysis. The hydraulic efficiency of the turbine decreased by a maximum of 3.5% that of the best efficiency point (BEP) with the implementation of the mitigation technique. The variations in the obtained mitigation levels and efficiencies depending on protrusion length and operating condition indicate the need for the implementation of a feedback-loop controller. Thus, the protrusion length can be actively optimized based on the desired mitigation target.
On the Frontline of Athlete Mental Health: The Mental Health Literacy of NCAA Coaches
Authors: Beebe Kelzie E , Petrie Trent A. 
Published: February 2024

Coaches’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about mental health—or mental health literacy (MHL)—affect teams’ mental health climates and the detection, referral, and treatment of athletes’ mental health concerns. Thus, assessing collegiate coaches’ MHL, and factors related to its presence, is critical. Using the Mental Health Literacy Scale, 1,571 NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) coaches were surveyed regarding their MHL and demographic and mental health experience factors. Overall, 99.9% of the coaches surveyed believe that athletes’ mental health affected their sport performances. Through hierarchical regression analyses, coaches’ exposure to mental health treatment, perceived helpfulness of mental health treatment, gender (i.e., woman), years coaching (i.e., fewer years), and current NCAA division (i.e., Division III) were significantly related to their MHL, explaining 15.5% of variance. However, coaches’ race/ethnicity did not reach significance. Recommendations regarding increasing coaches’ MHL and hiring appropriately trained and licensed mental health and sport psychology professionals are offered.
Measuring differential fitness costs and interactions between genetic cassettes using fluorescent spectrophotometry
Authors: Kehila Dan , Tokuriki Nobuhiko 
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT

In this article, we present a method for designing, executing, and analyzing data from a microbial competition experiment. We use fluorescent reporters to label different competing strains and resolve individual growth curves using a fluorescent spectrophotometer. Our comprehensive data analysis pipeline integrates multiple experiments to simultaneously infer sources of variation, extract selection coefficients, and estimate the genetic contributions to fitness for various synthetic genetic cassettes (SGCs). To demonstrate the method, we employ a synthetic biological system based on
Escherichia coli
. Strains carry 1 of 10 different plasmids and one of three genomically integrated fluorescent markers. All strains are co-cultured to obtain real-time measurements of optical density (total population density) and fluorescence (sub-population densities). We identify challenges in calibrating between fluorescence and density and of fluorescent proteins maturing at different rates. To resolve these issues, we compare two methods of fluorescence calibration and correct for maturation by measuring
in vivo
maturation times. We provide evidence of genetic interactions occurring between our SGCs and further show how to use our statistical model to test some hypotheses about microbial growth and the costs of protein expression.

IMPORTANCE
Fluorescently labeled co-cultures are becoming increasingly popular. The approach proposed here offers a high standard for experimental design and data analysis to measure selection coefficients and growth rates in competition. Measuring competitive differences is useful in many laboratory studies, allowing for fitness cost-correction of growth rates and ecological interactions and testing hypotheses in synthetic biology. Using time-resolved growth curves, rather than endpoint measurements, for competition assays allows us to construct a detailed scientific model that can be used to ask questions about fine-grained phenomena, such as bacterial growth dynamics, as well as higher-level phenomena, such as the interactions between synthetic cassette expression.
