Abstract
In the present work, a study of a metamaterial complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) microwave planar sensor for dielectric liquid characterization is carried out using HFSS software. The design consists in a CSRR-loaded two ports rectangular patch microstrip-fed grounded planar structure. The investigated liquid sample is put in a capillary glass tube lying parallel to the surface of the sensor. The liquid test tube is deposited horizontally parallel to the surface of the planar sensor. The advantage of the design lies on the fact that it allows different orientations and multiple size possibilities of the test tube. This makes it possible to explore different resonant frequencies in the 2.1 GHz frequency band. Moreover, an optimization study is carried out to achieve a high sensitivity and a high-quality factor of the proposed sensor. To better understand the operation and to further verify the feasibility of the equivalent circuit, a parallel RLC resonant circuit is used to obtain the desired Z parameter responses Z

Wire arc melting is considered one of the most efficient processes in additive manufacturing in terms of material printed to material consumed ratio. 304 stainless steel is one of the prominent stainless steels with superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. 304 stainless steel components were deposited by wire arc additive manufacturing, depositing subsequent layers in the same and perpendicular directions. Mechanical properties, microstructure, XRD and microtexture studies were done by EBSD have been done for both the conditions and compared. Mechanical properties were found to be similar for both the conditions whereas the microstructure and microtexture showed equiaxed grains for depositing in the same direction and columnar grains for deposition in the perpendicular direction.
A wavelet-based method in aggregated functional data analysis
Authors: dos Santos Sousa Alex Rodrigo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we consider aggregated functional data composed by a linear combination of component curves and the problem of estimating these component curves.
We propose the application of a bayesian wavelet shrinkage rule based on a mixture of a point mass function at zero and the logistic distribution as prior to wavelet coefficients to estimate mean curves of components.
This procedure has the advantage of estimating component functions with important local characteristics such as discontinuities, spikes and oscillations for example, due the features of wavelet basis expansion of functions.
Simulation studies were done to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, and its results are compared with a spline-based method.
An application on the so-called Tecator dataset is also provided.
Upregulated microRNA-429 confers endometrial stromal cell dysfunction by targeting HIF1AN and regulating the HIF1A/VEGF pathway
Authors: Zheng Rong , Liu Yulan , Lei Yan , Yue Yan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent disorder that adversely affects the life quality of many reproductive-age women. Previous evidence has suggested the significant role of miR-429 in EM; however, its molecular mechanisms underlying EM pathogenesis are unclarified. Human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) were identified using immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. A mouse EM model was established by endometrial auto-transplantation. RNA and protein expression of molecules was examined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. In vitro functional experiments showed that inhibiting miR-429 restrained HESC proliferation, migration, and invasiveness. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-429 targeted hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha inhibitor (HIF1AN) in HESCs. HIF1AN silencing offset the negative regulation of miR-429 inhibition on the HIF1A/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. In vivo experiments showed that depletion of miR-429 attenuated ectopic lesion development in the mouse EM model. Collectively, suppressing miR-429 hinders the invasive behaviors of HESCs and EM progression in mice by targeting HIF1AN and regulating the HIF1A/VEGF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Through bibliometric analysis, we aim to comprehensively understand the research dynamics in this field, reveal key scientific research achievements and breakthrough discoveries, and provide valuable reference and guidance for future research directions. Utilizing the Web of Science, we retrieved the literature pertaining to ultrasonics-guided regional anesthesiology (1994–2022). CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used for bibliometric and knowledge mapping analysis. Our examination encompassed publication trends, authorship patterns, institutional contributions, frequently occurring keywords, keyword clustering, and emerging terminology trends. Of the 570 papers reviewed, there was a rising trend in publications each year. The main keywords in regional anesthesia were ultrasound guidance, nerve, analgesia, and pain score. Key research areas were regional anesthesia, ultrasound guidance, approach, pain score, and plane block. The U.S. led in research. Stanford University, University of Toronto, and Cork University Hospital were central institutions. Chan V was the top author with 24 articles, while Marhofer P was the most cited at 150 times. Regional anesthesia and pain medicine were the predominant journal in both publications and citations. In conclusion, research in this field consistently grew yearly, and visualization showcased trends in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. These visuals provided key bibliometric insights, helping researchers further explore and understand this domain.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Chaotic semiconductor lasers have been widely investigated for high-speed random bit generation, which is applied for the generation of cryptographic keys for classical and quantum cryptography systems. Here, we propose and demonstrate a self-chaotic microlaser with enhanced chaotic bandwidth for high-speed random bit generation. By designing tri-mode interaction in a deformed square microcavity laser, we realize a self-chaotic laser caused by two-mode internal interaction, and achieve an enhanced chaotic standard bandwidth due to the photon–photon resonance effect by introducing the third mode. Moreover, 500 Gb/s random bit generation is realized and the randomness is verified by the NIST SP 800-22 statistics test. Our demonstration promises the applications of microlasers in secure communication, chaos radar, and optical reservoir computing, and also provides a platform for the investigations of multimode nonlinear laser dynamics.
Approaching Interaction in Iron Age Sardinia: Multi-Scalar Survey Evidence from the Sinis Archaeological Project and the Progetto S’Urachi
Authors: Gosner Linda R. , Nowlin Jessica 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Using west-central Sardinia as a case study, this article explores how multi-scalar survey archaeology can be used to address questions of the intensity, nature, and scale of interaction in the Iron Age central Mediterranean. This large island played an important role in Mediterranean trade networks and was frequented and settled by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans, among others over the course of the first millennium BCE. These foreign groups interacted with local Nuragic people through trade, the exchange of ideas, and genetic admixing, which led to increasing connectivity over time. Large excavations at major colonial sites and genetic studies have reinforced the perception that interactions were felt most strongly in coastal regions, while inland communities remained more isolated. Our multi-scalar survey data, drawn from site-based survey at the inland nuraghe S’Urachi and regional survey in its surrounding territory (the Sinis Archaeological Project), supply information concerning how Iron Age interactions impacted inland rural communities. These data show how interaction transformed over time, as trade increased and agriculture intensified in response to external demands. Ultimately, we suggest that survey archaeology is an important tool for illuminating multi-scalar interaction in Sardinia and elsewhere.

Abstract
Alonso-Callejo, A, García-Unanue, J, Guitart-Trench, M, Majano, C, Gallardo, L, and Felipe, J. Validity and reliability of the acceleration-speed profile for assessing running kinematics' variables derived from the force-velocity profile in professional soccer players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—This research aim to assess the validity and reliability of the acceleration-speed profile (ASP) for measuring the mechanical variables of running kinematics when compared with the force-velocity profile (FVP) obtained by reference systems. The ASP and FVP of 14 male players of an elite football club were assessed during a competitive microcycle. Three ASPs were tested according to the number and type of sessions included in its plotting (ASP1: 5 training sessions and competitive match; ASP2: 5 training sessions; ASP3: competitive match). Force-velocity profile was tested 4 days before match (MD-4) with a 30-m linear sprint using 3 previously validated devices (encoder, mobile App, and global positioning system). Level of significance was p < 0.05. Acceptable reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.5) was found between the ASP1 and the encoder for all variables (F0-A0, V0-S0, and Vmax). The more reliable ASP method was the ASP1 showing a lower bias than the ASP2 and ASP3 methods for almost all variables and reference systems. For ASP1, lower mean absolute error (MAE: 0.3–0.5) and higher correlation (P-M corr: 0.57–0.92) were found on variables related to the velocity in comparison with variables related to the early acceleration phase (F0-A0; MAE: 0.49–0.63; P-M corr: 0.13–0.41). Acceleration-speed profile, when computed with data from a complete competitive week, is a reliable method for analyzing variables derived from velocity and acceleration kinematics. From these results, practitioners could implement ASP and the applications of the FVP previously studied, such as resistance training prescription, performance assessment, and return-to-play management.
An Overview on the Dispersion of Steel Fiber in Ultra-High-Performance Concrete
Authors: Dong Enlai , Fan Dingqiang , Ma Xianwei , You Peibo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is widely recognized for its high toughness, which is directly affected by the dispersion of steel fiber and its loading mode. To investigate the reinforcement effect of steel fiber, this paper summarizes the influencing factors, evaluation methods, and theoretical models of steel fiber dispersion in UHPC. First, the results reveal that a scientifically designed mixture can reduce the cost of steel fiber dosage in UHPC and improve fiber dispersion by adjusting matrix rheological properties. The optimum plastic viscosity of the slurry should range from 30 to 80 Pa·s for achieving the best fiber dispersion effect. Second, during slurry placement, the orientation of fibers in UHPC can be improved by up to 80 % through flow induction and the wall effect, which increases the bending strength, tensile strength, and toughness of UHPC matrix by 5–67 %, 30–90 %, and 13–200 %, respectively. Moreover, although the dispersion of fiber in two-dimensional space has been extensively studied, further characterization in three-dimensional space is required. Lastly, some theoretical simulation results have been achieved on fiber orientation, but factors such as aggregate or reinforcement must be considered.
Tuned to Tremor: Increased Sensitivity of Cortico-Basal Ganglia Neurons to Tremor Frequency in the MPTP Nonhuman Primate Model of Parkinson's Disease

Published: October 2023

Rest tremor is one of the most prominent clinical features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we hypothesized that cortico-basal ganglia neurons tend to fire in a pattern that matches PD tremor frequency, suggesting a resonance phenomenon. We recorded spiking activity in the primary motor cortex (M1) and globus pallidus external segment of 2 female nonhuman primates, before and after parkinsonian state induction with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. The arm of nonhuman primates was passively rotated at seven different frequencies surrounding and overlapping PD tremor frequency. We found entrainment of the spiking activity to arm rotation and a significant sharpening of the tuning curves in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine state, with a peak response at frequencies that matched the frequency of PD tremor. These results reveal increased sensitivity of the cortico-basal ganglia network to tremor frequency and could indicate that this network acts not only as a tremor switch but is involved in setting its frequency.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTTremor is a prominent clinical feature of Parkinson's disease; however, its underlying pathophysiology is still poorly understood. Using electrophysiological recordings of single cortico-basal ganglia neurons before and after the induction of a parkinsonian state, and in response to passive arm rotation, this study reports increased sensitivity to tremor frequency in Parkinson's disease. We found sharpening of the population tuning to the midrange of the tested frequencies (1-13.3 Hz) in the healthy state that further increased in the parkinsonian state. These results hint at the increased frequency-tuned sensitivity of cortico-basal ganglia neurons and suggest that they tend to resonate with the tremor.
Early Action Error Processing Is Due to Domain-General Surprise, Whereas Later Processing Is Error Specific
Authors: Choo Yoojeong , Mather Alec , Wessel Jan R. 
Published: October 2023

The ability to adapt behavior after erroneous actions is one of the key aspects of cognitive control. Error commission typically causes people to slow down their subsequent actions [post-error slowing (PES)]. Recent work has challenged the notion that PES reflects adaptive, controlled processing and instead suggests that it is a side effect of the surprising nature of errors. Indeed, human neuroimaging suggests that the brain networks involved in processing errors overlap with those processing error-unrelated surprise, calling into question whether there is a specific system for error processing in the brain at all. In the current study, we used EEG decoding and a novel behavioral paradigm to test whether there are indeed unique, error-specific processes that contribute to PES beyond domain-general surprise. Across two experiments in male and female humans (N= 76), we found that both errors and error-unrelated surprise were followed by slower responses when response–stimulus intervals were short. Furthermore, the early neural processes following error-specific and domain-general surprise showed significant cross-decoding. However, at longer intervals, which provided additional processing time, only errors were still followed by post-trial slowing. Furthermore, this error-specific PES effect was reflected in sustained neural activity that could be decoded from that associated with domain-general surprise, with the strongest contributions found at lateral frontal, occipital, and sensorimotor scalp sites. These findings suggest that errors and surprise initially share common processes, but that after additional processing time, unique, genuinely error-specific processes take over and contribute to behavioral adaptation.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHumans typically slow their actions after errors (PES). Some suggest that PES is a side effect of the unexpected, surprising nature of errors, challenging the notion of a genuine error processing system in the human brain. Here, we used multivariate EEG decoding to identify behavioral and neural processes uniquely related to error processing. Action slowing occurred following both action errors and error-unrelated surprise when time to prepare the next response was short. However, when there was more time to react, only errors were followed by slowing, further reflected in sustained neural activity. This suggests that errors and surprise initially share common processing, but that after additional time, error-specific, adaptive processes take over.

To The Question about the Sources of the "Canon of Medicine" By Abu Ali Ibn Sina
Authors: Karimova Surayyo Ubaydullaevna 
Published: October 2023

The great polymath of the Middle Ages Abu Ali Hussein ibn Abdallah ibn Sina (980-1037) (Avicenna) in the history of mankind is better known as a brilliant physician. His vast knowledge, advanced ideas and practical innovations are reflected in his famous medical encyclopedia "The Canon of Medicine" (Kitab al-qanun fi-t-tibb), used in medical practice and education as the most complete and fundamental work in both Muslim East as well as in Europe. The article attempts to determine the circle and number of authors, and written sources used by Avicenna, identify them, and also show his attitude towards them through their citation in all five books.
