Abstract
Destructive earthquakes with high deformations have occurred in the Aegean region since the historical period. The most destructive of these earthquakes in recent years is the October 30, 2020 (M
w = 6.9) Samos (Aegean Sea) earthquake. This earthquake affected a wide area and caused numerous losses of lives and property especially in Izmir city. For examining the effects of the earthquake, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data before, during, and after the earthquake were processed, and coseismic and postseismic displacement evaluations were made. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) ascending, descending interferograms, line of sight velocity, and displacement maps were obtained for the earthquake-affected area. The GNSS and InSAR data were evaluated together, and the areas with subsidence and uplift were determined in conjunction with the fault zone. In addition, the horizontal displacements were analyzed by using Coulomb failure criteria, and peak ground displacements were obtained from the strong motion stations located in the study region. As a result, from all the displacement analyses, it was determined that high-amplitude energy was released, at the regional scale from Ayvalık in the North to Datça in the South after the earthquake, and this earthquake generated permanent deformation in the affected region.
A Canaanite jar with a Cypro-Minoan inscription from Tiryns: TIRY Avas 001

Published: January 2024

Abstract
More inscribed Canaanite jars have been found at the palatial centre of Tiryns than at any other site on the Greek mainland. The Cypro-Minoan inscription TIRY Avas 001, on a Canaanite jar handle from Tiryns, was first published in 1988. Since then, however, a second (unpublished) inscribed handle from that jar has been identified, along with the vessel’s rim, base, and enough body sherds to reconstruct the entire vessel. In this article, we present the reconstructed jar and its incised Cypro-Minoan signs, including a detailed account of the varied contexts of each recovered sherd, as well as a macroscopic analysis of the vessel’s fabric and what this says about its place of origin. We then discuss the probable meanings and uses of the jar and of the writing on it, and outline the probable path of the vessel from its creation on the Levantine coast, to its inscription on Cyprus, to its deposition in a final palatial destruction context in the Lower Citadel of Tiryns.
A new personal name in the Linear B tablets from Pylos
Authors: Melena José L. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Mycenaean personal name a-ḳị-a2-ro is now given as the new reading for a[-•]-a2-ro in the tablet from Pylos Jn 478.3. This paper proposes a rendering of the name as Ἀγχίαλος, which is well attested in Homeric epos, and it is interpreted as a nickname derived from the place-name of origin of the individual.
Les nasales syllabiques en lycien
Authors: Patri Sylvain 
Published: January 2024

Résumé
L’emploi des signes syllabiques m̃ et ñ est régi par des règles d’écriture strictes, alors que leurs réalisations ne sont pas invariablement syllabiques. On montre que ces signes ont des réalisations non syllabiques dans des contextes où la co-articulation d’une consonne nasale et d’une occlusive modifie les propriétés phonétiques de cette dernière. L’expression graphique fondée sur la solidarité des symboles d’écriture dans des configurations où les nasales sont syllabiques, devient, par suite, transposables aux situations où les modification du son associé à la nasale sont phonétiquement requises alors que les nasales ne sont plus nécessairement syllabiques. La distribution des nasales dans les contextes où elle sont syllabiques indique, en outre, des réalisations différenciées selon l’entourage segmental, en mettant en évidence des conditionnements dont l’intrication offre une justification plausible à leur représentation individualisée dans l’écriture.
Enhanced interface structure of electroformed copper/diamond composites for thermal management applications

Published: January 2024

Abstract
As the power density of electronic devices increases, the requirement for heat sinks with enhanced thermal properties becomes imperative for advanced heat dissipation. Copper/diamond composites are next-generation heat dissipators with high thermal conductivities, yet fabrication of these composites requires high energy and complex instruments. In this study, copper/diamond composites are fabricated by electroforming. The sediment co-deposition process is modified to obtain uniform diamond particle distribution with tailorable volume fraction. Diamond particles were initially settled on the cathode surface outside the electrolyte, and then the setup was immersed in an acidic copper sulfate electroforming bath. Varying amounts (0–100 mg l−1) of thiourea are introduced to the electrolyte to enhance the matrix–particle interface. The gaps between diamond particles are filled with electrodeposited copper using optimized deposition conditions. The composite structure detaches from the cathode by itself after the production with desired shape and dimensions. The effect of operating conditions on cathodic polarization, composite microstructure, and thermal properties are investigated. Thermal conductivity of 49 vol.% diamond containing sample fabricated with optimized parameters exceeds 667 W m−1 K−1. The increase in thermal conductivity and enhanced interface structure is attributed to the excellent void-filling ability of the optimized electrolyte.
Using Autoclave Concrete Prism Testing to Evaluate ASR Reactivity in Concrete Using Laboratory Tests and Outdoor Exposure Blocks as Benchmark Data
Authors: Hossain Md Tarik , Giannini Eric R. , Tanner Jennifer E. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe alkali–silica reaction (ASR) occurs in concrete that contains silica in a reactive aggregate, sufficient alkalis, and sufficient moisture. Although the most widely accepted tests for evaluating ASR potential are the concrete prism test (CPT) and the accelerated mortar bar test, each test has limitations. Because of the need to test concrete mixes within a short period of time, an accelerated autoclave test method (autoclaved CPT [ACPT]) was investigated using concrete prism samples boosted to 3.0 % total alkali content subjected to an exposure temperature of 271°F (133°C) with a corresponding pressure of 29 psi (0.2 MPa) for 24 hours. A suite of aggregates was evaluated by concrete prism specimens using both the ACPT and CPT methods. The ACPT was able to classify individual aggregate fractions for ASR reactivity with 97.2 % accuracy for the proposed limit of 0.09 % expansion for 36 tested mixtures and approximately 130 specimens. Data from this test suggest that a week-long test could be considered an effective screening tool for the alkali reactivity of coarse or fine aggregate fractions. In addition, miniature CPT (AASHTO T 380, Standard Method of Test for Potential Alkali Reactivity of Aggregates and Effectiveness of ASR Mitigation Measures (Miniature Concrete Prism Test, MCPT) and 12-year outdoor exposure block results are evaluated and compared with both CPT and ACPT results. Although the data suggest a general agreement between these methods, further testing is warranted along with multi-laboratory precision evaluation.
Understanding the Significance of Censored Data
Authors: Chandler John 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The regulatory world seeks to ascertain if the levels of chemicals in the environment are at a “safe” level. Such an objective leads to dismissing results that are reported as below the detection level (BDL) as being satisfactory. Although this meets the regulatory objective, when attempting to understand the mechanisms that lead to low concentration, such data can be very important. As such, it must be treated in a statistically appropriate manner. The BDL or censored data need to be incorporated into evaluations. Moreover, there is a need to understand the data’s limits of precision. Right censored data are routinely handled for toxicological and reliability studies. BDL values produce left censored values that with a simple transfer can be flipped to right censored values by subtracting all values from a number larger than the data. Then the data can be processed using the statistical tests familiar to toxicologists. Examples of low-level stack emission data and ambient air data are examined in this article. The examples indicate that data should be clearly qualified to ensure that the reader understands the limitations. Using censored data to evaluate factors contributing to measured levels can lead to erroneous conclusions, raise concerns in the public, and lead to potentially unnecessary remedial efforts.

Abstract
The current study reports the synthesis of nano-(CdO)x/Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr1.9Ca1.1Cu2.1Oy, nano-(Cd0.95Mn0.05O)x/Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr1.9Ca1.1Cu2.1Oy, and nano-(Cd0.95Fe0.05O)x/Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr1.9Ca1.1Cu2.1Oy composites, with x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10 wt. %, respectively, using the classical solid-state reaction technique. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of an orthorhombic structure of the (Bi, Pb)-2212 as the major phase. Thermogravimetric analysis was utilized to evaluate the thermal stability of the pure sample throughout the different stages of phase formation and the effect of nanoparticle addition. The weight loss/gain from the three additions is related to the excess of oxygen, as confirmed via iodometric titration analysis and from the findings of oxygen diffusion energy. Room temperature Vickers microhardness (HV) measurements were conducted at various applied loads (0.49–9.8 N). Based on the Vickers microhardness (HV) measurements, the optimum addition of nanoparticles for increasing the microhardness of the (Bi, Pb)-2212 phase was at x = 0.05 wt. % for all superconducting composites. Iron doped Cadmium Oxide (CdFeO) nanoparticles have the greatest enhancement on the Vicker hardness values (HV) at the plateau region. Furthermore, various mechanical parameters for potential applications, such as elastic modulus (E), yield strength (Y), and fracture toughness (K) of the samples under study, were consequently extracted from HV as a function of nanoparticle addition. Moreover, CdFeO addition outperformed CdO and Manganese doped Cadmium Oxide (CdMnO) addition in improving the parameters of E, Y, K, and B, which display better ductility and an enhanced capacity to resist indentation fractures and facilitate (Bi-2212) manufactured in the form of round wires that can be used in high magnetic field magnets, nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, and large hadron colliders. Different models were theoretically used to analyze the measured HV data in the plateau limit regions. The indentation-induced cracking model offered the most accurate theoretical model at the plateau limit region based on Vickers microhardness (HV) observations.
Modelling the Overaging Kinetics of 18Ni250 Maraging Steel
Authors: Rohit Benjamin , Muktinutalapati Nageswara Rao 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The kinetics of overaging in 18Ni250 maraging steel was studied by (i) modelling the overaging softening behavior, (ii) an aging parameter approach, and (iii) modelling the kinetics of austenite reversion. Changes in kinetics of 18Ni250 maraging steel is calculated as a function of volume fraction of reverted austenite. Softening behavior during overaging was modelled by the Wilson model and the Pardal et al. model. Both the models were found to be in good agreement with experimental data, but the Pardal et al. model showed a better fit. An S-type curve had a better fit compared to a linear fit while relating hardness to the aging parameter with a material constant of C = 20. The kinetics of austenite reversion was studied using the JMAK model, and the activation energy for the austenite reversion process was estimated as 218 kJ/mol.

Objective
In obesity and type 2 diabetes, hyperglucagonaemia may be caused by elevated levels of glucagonotropic amino acids due to hepatic glucagon resistance at the level of amino acid turnover. Here, we investigated the effect of exogenous glucagon on circulating amino acids in obese and non-obese individuals with and without type 2 diabetes.

Design
This was a post hoc analysis in a glucagon infusion study performed in individuals with type 2 diabetes (n = 16) and in age, sex, and body mass index-matched control individuals without diabetes (n = 16). Each group comprised two subgroups of eight individuals with and without obesity, respectively.

Methods
All participants received a 1-h glucagon infusion (4 ng/kg/min) in the overnight fasted state. Plasma amino acid concentrations were measured with frequent intervals.

Results
Compared to the control subgroup without obesity, baseline total amino acid levels were elevated in the control subgroup with obesity and in the type 2 diabetes subgroup without obesity. In all subgroups, amino acid levels decreased by up to 20% in response to glucagon infusion, which resulted in high physiological steady-state glucagon levels (mean concentration: 74 pmol/L, 95% CI [68;79] pmol/L). Following correction for multiple testing, no intergroup differences in changes in amino acid levels reached significance.

Conclusion
Obesity and type 2 diabetes status was associated with elevated fasting levels of total amino acids. The glucagon infusion decreased circulating amino acid levels similarly in all subgroups, without significant differences in the response to exogenous glucagon between individuals with and without obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Significance statement
The hormone glucagon stimulates glucose production from the liver, which may promote hyperglycaemia if glucagon levels are abnormally elevated, as is often seen in type 2 diabetes and obesity. Glucagon levels are closely linked to, and influenced by, the levels of circulating amino acids. To further investigate this link, we measured amino acid levels in individuals with and without obesity and type 2 diabetes before and during an infusion of glucagon. We found that circulating amino acid levels were higher in type 2 diabetes and obesity, and that glucagon infusion decreased amino acid levels in both individuals with and without type 2 diabetes and obesity. The study adds novel information to the link between circulating levels of glucagon and amino acids.

Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVES
Recent studies document an association between mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) in children and postinjury psychiatric disorders. However. these studies were subject to limitations in the design, lack of long-term follow-up, and poorly defined psychiatric outcomes. This study determines the incidence and relative risk of postinjury new affective and behavior disorders 4 years after mTBIs.

METHODS
A cohort study of mTBI cases and matched comparisons within an integrated health care system. The mTBI group included patients ≤17 years of age, diagnosed with mTBI from 2000 to 2014 (N = 18 917). Comparisons included 2 unexposed patients (N = 37 834) per each mTBI-exposed patient, randomly selected and matched for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and date of medical visit (reference date to mTBI injury). Outcomes included a diagnosis of affective or behavioral disorders in the 4 years after mTBI or the reference date.

RESULTS
Adjusted risks for affective disorders were significantly higher across the first 3 years after injury for the mTBI group, especially during the second year, with a 34% increase in risk. Adjusted risks for behavioral disorders were significant at years 2 and 4, with up to a 37% increase in risk. The age group with the highest risk for postinjury affective and behavioral disorders was 10- to 13-year-old patients.

CONCLUSIONS
Sustaining an mTBI significantly increased the risks of having a new affective or behavioral disorder up to 4 years after injury. Initial and ongoing screening for affective and behavior disorders following an mTBI can identify persistent conditions that may pose barriers to recovery.
Still flying blind after all these years: The Federal Reserve's continuing experiments with unobservables
Authors: Papadimitriou Dimitri B. , Wray L. Randall 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn 1994, we examined the Fed's abandonment of monetary targets in favor of “omens of impending inflation” (Papadimitriou – Wray 1994). Here we are, three decades later, and the Fed is still fumbling around with unobservable indicators of inflation in its quest to target stable prices. In what follows, we examine the evolution of the Fed's thought and practice over the past three decades, a period in which the Fed has increasingly turned to unobservable indicators that are supposed to predict inflation and unobservable tools that are supposed to fight inflation. We will show that our criticisms have also been raised by the Fed's own members and research staff. Moreover, we suggest that the Fed has far less control over inflation than is presumed, and, at worst, might have the whole inflation-fighting strategy backwards. We conclude with an assessment of the latest round of rate hikes.

Water plays a key role in ensuring the social and ecological well-being of the population of any state. At the same time, fresh water as a resource and related water infrastructure are among the most vulnerable sectors during armed conflicts. In this regard, it is relevant to study the impact of the armed conflict on water supply and the water system of Ukraine.
The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of military actions on the state of drinking water supply in Ukraine and the Kharkiv region and its potential impact on the state of health of the local population.
Materials and methods. Weekly reports of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, reports of the Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine, reports of Ukrainian regional military administrations, and a report of the Kharkiv Laboratory Center on the analysis of the state of drinking water supply in the settlements of the Kharkiv region and the city were used as the main source of information.
Results. As a result of the conducted analytical research, various types of influence of military operations on the water supply system of Ukraine were revealed. An increase in the level of surface water pollution has been established, in particular due to sunken military facilities and emissions of chemical substances as a result of shelling. Several impacts have been identified as potential threats, including flooding due to damage to dams, threats related to nuclear power plants, incidents of periodic flooding of underground mines, possible detonation of chlorine tanks in the area of wastewater treatment plants, and sea mine explosions in the Danube Delta. The results of the conducted research revealed that the quality of drinking water in the water supply systems of some settlements of Ukraine does not meet the hygienic requirements in terms of bacteriological, sanitary-chemical and radiation indicators. High concentrations of metals and their compounds entering the tissues of the body in the form of an aqueous solution pose a particular danger to the health of the population
Conclusion. As a result of Russia's armed aggression, wastewater treatment systems were disrupted, which led to an increase in the pollution of surface water sources
Clinical significance of calcium-sensing receptors in the development and course of recurrent wheezing and asthma in young children
Authors: Kolisnyk Viktoriia , Odynets Yuriy 
Published: January 2024

The aim of the study: to evaluate the role of CaSR in the formation and course of recurrent wheezing and asthma in young children.
Materials and methods: a total of 70 patients participated in the study, including 20 children (8 boys and 12 girls) diagnosed with mild asthma, 30 patients (20 boys and 10 girls) with recurrent wheezing, and 20 relatively healthy children. The level of CaSR protein in the peripheral blood was measured twice: in the first 2 days of clinical manifestations and in remission. The levels of blood calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), vitamin D (25(OH) D3) and indicators of cellular, phagocytic and humoral immunity were also studied. The level of CaSR in the blood serum was analyzed by ELISA using commercial kits (CaSR ELISA Kit Human E-EL-H0621, Elabscience, USA, protocol No. 2301070). Statistical processing was performed using StatSoft STATISTICA version 8.0 (Tulsa, Oklahoma) and MedCalc statistical software version 17.2.
Results: the lowest levels of CaSR protein were found in the group of children with asthma both during exacerbation and remission, which is associated with its redistribution from peripheral blood to smooth muscle. The level of CaSR protein in the group with recurrent wheezing did not differ during exacerbation and remission, which may be due to the low severity of the obstructive component of this group and the number of obstructions, which, in turn, does not lead to an obvious redistribution of this indicator to the smooth muscle of the bronchi. The level of CaSR protein is obviously the lowest in young children, which is confirmed by correlations. The available correlations with blood electrolytes and IgE confirm the involvement of CaSR protein in phosphorus-calcium metabolism and the development of the inflammatory process of allergic genesis.
Conclusions: level of CaSR protein in the serum of children depends on the number of obstructions, their course and severity of the disease. CaSR protein is directly involved in calcium-phosphorus metabolism
