Validation of the Caregiver Analysis of Reported Experiences with Swallowing Disorders (CARES) Screening Tool for Neurodegenerative Disease
Authors: Shune Samantha , Gray Lauren Tabor , Perry Sarah , Kosty Derek , Namasivayam-MacDonald Ashwini 
Published: January 2025

Purpose:
Swallowing difficulties have a substantial impact on the burden experienced by care partners of individuals with neurodegenerative disease. Given this, there is a clear need to easily identify and quantify the unique aspects of swallowing-related burden. The purpose of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of the Caregiver Analysis of Reported Experiences with Swallowing Disorders (CARES) screening tool in care partners of individuals with neurodegenerative disease.

Method:

Survey data were collected from an international sample of 212 individuals caring for family members with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (
n =
49), dementia (
n =
110), or Parkinson's disease (
n =
53). Respondents completed the CARES, Eating Assessment Tool-10, International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative–Functional Diet Scale, and Zarit Burden Interview. Reliability and validity of the CARES were evaluated via internal consistency alpha coefficients, Spearman's rho correlations, and logistic regression analyses with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results:

CARES scores demonstrated excellent internal consistency (α = .90–.95) and high test–retest reliability (
r
= .86–.91). The CARES was found to be valid, as increased swallowing-related burden was associated with increased severity of swallowing difficulties (
r
= .79 to .84), diet restrictiveness (
r
= −.50 to −.54), and general caregiver burden (
r
= .36 to .40). The CARES had excellent discrimination between care partners with and without self-reported swallowing-related burden, with a score of ≥ 4 suggesting a heightened risk of experiencing this burden.

Conclusions:
Results establish the CARES as a valid and reliable screening tool that can detect burden related to swallowing difficulties among care partners of individuals living with neurodegenerative disease (score ≥ 4). Clinical implementation of the CARES requires the concerted efforts of the larger multidisciplinary team who can collaboratively identify the presence of burden and target the multifaceted sources of burden that a care partner may be experiencing.
Development, Reliability, and Concurrent Validity of the American Sign Language Version of the Computerized Revised Token Test
Authors: Goldberg Emily B. , Pratt Sheila R. , McNeil Malcolm R. , Szuminsky Neil , DeHaan Kenneth , Zhen Leslie Q. 
Published: January 2025

Purpose:
The present study assessed the test–retest reliability of the American Sign Language (ASL) version of the Computerized Revised Token Test (CRTT-ASL) and compared the differences and similarities between ASL and English reading by Deaf and hearing users of ASL.

Method:
Creation of the CRTT-ASL involved filming, editing, and validating CRTT instructions, sentence commands, and scoring. Deaf proficient (DP), hearing nonproficient (HNP), and hearing proficient sign language users completed the CRTT-ASL and the English self-paced, word-by-word reading CRTT (CRTT-Reading-Word Fade [CRTT-R-wf]). Both tests were administered twice, 7–14 days apart, to assess test–retest reliability.

Results:
Preliminary findings suggested that the CRTT-ASL was acceptably reliable for the DP group across CRTT metrics. All groups showed adequate test–retest reliability for the CRTT-R-wf. The DP group scored comparably across the two language conditions, and on average, the DP group produced significantly lower scores than the two hearing groups on the CRTT-R-wf. The hearing groups did not differ significantly from each other on the CRTT-R-wf.

Conclusions:
The CRTT-ASL may be reliable for assessing Deaf ASL users, the target population for its use. These findings serve as preliminary support for clinical and research use of the novel CRTT-ASL to assess language processing in Deaf individuals who use ASL. The CRTT-ASL may be sensitive to lexical processing inefficiencies in the Deaf signing population.

Design and implementation of solvency proof system based on zero knowledge proofs
Authors: Chen Siyu , Diao Renhong , Xu Jiali 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe aim of this study is to design and implement a system that allows centralized blockchain institutions to prove their solvency. This system ensures that institutions do not misappropriate user assets and enhances trust between users and institutions. The article introduces the Groth‐16 zero‐knowledge proof algorithm from ZK‐SNARK (zero‐knowledge succinct non‐interactive argument of knowledge). The R1CS arithmetic circuit in the Groth‐16 algorithm effectively guarantees the authenticity and tamper‐resistance of the system's raw data sources. Additionally, it combines the use of Merkle Sum Trees and Sparse Merkle trees. The former enables users to perform distributed verification of solvency proofs, while the latter effectively hides the overall number of users. Finally, users verify the balances and the private key signatures of addresses in the institution's bulletin board. Together, these components form a comprehensive and distributed solvency proof solution. This solution is a pioneering solution in the field of blockchain solvency proofs and provides a secure, efficient, and privacy‐preserving method for centralized cryptocurrency service providers or Web3 enterprise custodians. It effectively addresses the challenge of proving an institution's possession of sufficient reserves to cover user assets without compromising user privacy or disclosing the institution's scale.

Published: January 2025

AbstractElectric power systems are composed of physical and cyber sub‐systems. The sub‐systems depend on each other. If the cyber sub‐system is compromised by a cyber threat, what is the impact on the physical system? This paper presents a case study that shows the steps of a multi‐stage cyber threat involving a database injection attack, and what happens to the power system if this threat is not detected in its early stages. The threat first affects one utility but it can spread to the balancing authority, which is responsible for keeping the voltage and frequency stable in the power grid. During the cyber threat, the authors also show defence tools, such as a cyber‐physical data fusion tool that displays and analyses power and cyber telemetry.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe development of the civil aviation industry has contributed to a steady increase in the number of daily flight operations at airports, which in turn has led to increasingly complex airport ground layouts. To aid airport managers in understanding the operational situation on the airport surface, this paper introduces a predictive model for airport ground conflict situations based on GNN‐LSTM. This model identifies potential conflicts, conflict hotspots, and conflict hotspots zones, designating key intersections on taxiways as conflict hotspots according to taxiing rules. A conflict network is constructed, employing GNN with an integrated attention mechanism to extract structural features of the network, while LSTM is utilized to capture temporal features. After tuning the model parameters, predictions are made regarding the overall potential number of potential conflicts on the surface. To validate the effectiveness of the model, experimental analysis is conducted using AirTOp simulation data from Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, comparing GNN‐LSTM model with GNN‐GRU, LSTM, and GRU models, using RMSE and MAE as loss functions. The results demonstrate that he proposed modelling approach effectively extracts the temporal features of potential conflict and GNN‐LSTM model outperforms other models in predicting the overall number of potential conflicts.

Authors: Chen Zhaoran , Li Xiangyu , Hu Junjie , Yao Xiayuan 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis paper introduces a conformal frequency selective surface (FSS) with dual passbands from 9 to 9.3 GHz and 13.1–13.7 GHz, as well as one stopband from 10.4 to 10.9 GHz. The frequency response of the curved FSS coincides with the performance of the planar FSS with the same unit cell under normal incidence. The unit cell comprises two compact flower‐shaped metallic slots patched on the dielectric substrate. This design has excellent stability of the incident angle up to 70°. The equivalent circuit model considering the mutual coupling between the two slots is illustrated to analyse the resonance mechanism. The whole antenna system enclosed by the conformal FSS is simulated to evaluate the loss in the far‐field beam's directivity and aberration. The impact caused by the different curvatures is investigated. The samples in planar and elliptic cylindrical surfaces are fabricated. The insertion losses of both polarisations are less than 1.5 dB, as the angle of incidence varies to 60°. The frequency response of curved FSS is identical to the planar FSS under normal incidence. The maximum attenuations of both polarisations in the passbands are less than 1.38 dB, and the average transmission coefficient in the stopband is −22 dB. The conformal FSS brings slight aberration in the half power beamwidth (HPBW) of the incident beam in the passbands. Furthermore, it suppresses the main beam in the stopband by at least 25 dB.
An improved affinity propagation method for maximising system sum rate and minimising interference for 3D multi‐UAV placement in disaster area
Authors: Jazi Nooshin Boroumand , Faghani Farhad , Farzanegan Mahmoud Daneshvar 
Published: January 2025

AbstractIn emergencies where several ground base stations (GBS) are no longer available, mobile base stations based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can efficiently resolve coverage issues in remote areas due to their cost‐effectiveness and versatility. Natural disasters, such as a deluge, cause damage to the terrestrial wireless infrastructure. The main challenge in these systems is to determine the optimal 3D placement of UAVs to meet the dynamic demand of users and minimise interference. Various mathematical frameworks and efficient algorithms are suggested for designing, optimising, and deploying UAV‐based communication systems. This paper investigates the challenges of 3D UAV placement through machine learning (ML) and enhanced affinity propagation (EAP). Lastly, the simulation results indicate that the proposed approach improves the system sum rate, interference, and coverage performance compared to DBSCAN, k‐means, and k‐means++ methods. Therefore, this paper identifies UAVs' most effective 3D placement, including minimising the number of UAVs, maximising the number of covered users, and maximising the system sum rate for an arbitrary distribution of users in the disaster area. Additionally, this paper addresses the issue of interference minimisation.
Quantum teleportation in higher dimension and entanglement distribution via quantum switches
Authors: Dey Indrakshi , Marchetti Nicola 
Published: January 2025

AbstractHigh‐dimensional quantum states, or ‘qudits’, provide significant advantages over traditional qubits in quantum communication, such as increased information capacity, enhanced noise resilience, and reduced information loss. Despite these benefits, their implementation has been constrained by challenges in generation, transmission, and detection. This paper presents a novel theoretical framework for transmitting quantum information using qudit entanglement distribution over a superposition of causal orders in two quantum channels. Using this model, a quantum switch operation for 2‐qudit systems is introduced, which facilitates enhanced fidelity of entanglement distribution and quantum teleportation. The results demonstrate that the use of qudits in entanglement distribution achieves a fidelity improvement from 0.5 (for qubit‐based systems) to 0.94 for 20‐dimensional qudits, even under noisy channel conditions. This enhancement is achieved by exploiting the increased Hilbert space of high‐dimensional states and the inherent noise‐resilience properties of quantum switches operating in superpositions of causal orders. The findings underscore the potential of qudit‐based quantum systems in achieving robust and high‐fidelity communication in environments where traditional qubit‐based systems face limitations.

Published: January 2025

AbstractLoRa has proven to be an ideal solution for Internet of Things networks and applications that require long‐distance communications, such as those related to smart cities or precision agriculture. Its low cost combined with the wide availability of LoRa‐compatible devices make it possible to easily deploy a large number of sensors capable of collecting and transmitting key information for new services and applications. However, the process of adding new devices into a Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) network represents a significant challenge on a large scale, as each device must be individually configured and manually registered to join the network. This manual approach is costly and impractical when it comes to deploying a very large number of devices. To address this problem, this paper proposes two deployment strategies (semi‐automatic and automatic) to simplify and streamline the process of activating and registering LoRaWAN devices. These strategies facilitate the deployment of large‐scale devices in smart cities, and their adoption can significantly enhance the deployment of LoRaWAN devices. Experimental results clearly demonstrate the benefits of our solution. Specifically, for 500 devices, the semi‐automatic deployment is 3.75 times more efficient, and the automatic deployment is an impressive 394.87 times faster than the manual deployment.

In this paper, communication mechanism based on blackboard is introduced to support cooperation between AUVs, messages are typed according to artificial intelligence. The hierarchical formation control algorithm is proposed, including designing level, generating level, behavioural level, evaluating level. Several formation patterns are designed according to different tasks and requirements. Orderly‐Quaternion sets and control matrix are defined for the design of accurate formation geometry. Behaviours of following subgoals and avoiding obstacles enable AUVs team move forward to destination by keeping ideal pattern. Formation length rate and formation maintaining rate are utilised for AUVs team to evaluate the effect of formation. Finally, the presented approach is verified by a simulation of a swarm of AUVs moving through a constrained environment.
Anisotropic diffusion of high-energy cosmic rays in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Authors: Gao Na-Na , Zhang Jian-Fu 
Published: January 2025

Context. The origin of cosmic rays (CRs) and how they propagate remain unclear. Studying the propagation of CRs in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence can help to comprehend many open issues related to CR origin and the role of turbulent magnetic fields.
Aims. To comprehend the phenomenon of slow diffusion in the near-source region, we study the interactions of CRs with the ambient turbulent magnetic field to reveal their universal laws.
Methods. We numerically study the interactions of CRs with the ambient turbulent magnetic field, considering pulsar wind nebula as a general research case. Taking the magnetization parameter and turbulence spectral index as free parameters, together with radiative losses, we perform three group simulations to analyze the CR spectral, spatial distributions, and possible CR diffusion types.
Results. Our studies demonstrate that (1) CR energy density decays with both its effective radius and kinetic energy in the form of power-law distributions; (2) the morphology of the CR spatial distribution strongly depends on the properties of magnetic turbulence and the viewing angle; (3) CRs suffer a slow diffusion near the source and a fast or normal diffusion away from the source; (4) the existence of a power-law relationship between the averaged CR energy density and the magnetization parameter is independent of both CR energy and radiative losses; and (5) radiative losses can suppress CR anisotropic diffusion and soften the power-law distribution of CR energy density.
Conclusions. The distribution law established between turbulent magnetic fields and CRs presents an intrinsic property, providing a convenient way to understand complex astrophysical processes related to turbulence cascades.
The multinational enterprise, capabilities, and digitalization: governance and growth with world disorder
Authors: Teece David J. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This essay revisits my 2014 JIBS article about the potential for integrating international business internalization theory with a strategic management capabilities perspective. It recaps the capabilities framework with an emphasis on the learning required of emerging market multinationals and illustrates this with the case of Hyundai Motor Company’s internationalization and growth. It also discusses two aspects of the global economy that have become more prominent since 2014 in shaping international business: geopolitical uncertainty and digitalization. A rise in geopolitical tensions appears to be rebalancing the relationships between multinationals and home/host governments. Digitalization facilitates international business; but it adds new vulnerabilities by (further) accelerating competition, enabling new rivals, and introducing systemic risks into digital supply chains. Implications for managers, board members, and international business scholars are drawn.

The Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics Terahertz Free Electron Laser Facility (CAEP THz FEL, CTFEL) has been operated as a user facility for over five years. To further meet the growing demands of modern science, an upgrade project for an infrared-terahertz free electron laser facility based on CTFEL has been proposed to broaden the frequency range from 0.1–4.2 to 0.1–125 THz. Recently we upgraded the CTFEL photoinjector in order to fulfill the beam injection requirements of the infrared-terahertz free electron laser facility. In this paper, we measured the beam parameters of the upgraded CTFEL photoinjector. A Michelson interferometer was constructed to measure the auto-correlation of the coherent transition radiation emitted by the electron bunch. Both the Kramers–Kronig reconstruction method and the time-domain fitting approach have been employed to estimate the bunch length, resulting in a root-mean-square bunch length of 0.30 ps. A normalized transverse emittance of 5.62 π mm mrad was determined by a quadrupole scan. The measured mean energy of the electron bunch is adjustable between 6 and 8 MeV with an energy spread of less than 0.5%. These measurements prove that the upgraded CTFEL photoinjector fulfills the injection requirements of the facility to be built.
Can the Discriminative Lexicon Model account for the family size effect in auditory word recognition?
Authors: Müller Hanno , ten Bosch Louis , Ernestus Mirjam 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Words with larger morphological families elicit shorter response times (RTs) in lexical decision experiments
(e.g., Bertram et al. 2000). One possible account for this family size (FS) effect draws on the Discriminative Lexicon Model (DLM; Chuang & Baayen 2021), positing that morphological family members strengthen relationships between forms and
meanings. While it has been shown that the DLM successfully explains FS effects in reading (Mulder et al. 2014), we investigated whether it does so in listening too. We trained the computational model LDL-AURIS
(Shafaei-Bajestan et al. 2023), which implements the DLM, on Dutch and show that a
measure derived from LDL-AURIS accounts for variance in auditory lexical decision RTs in Dutch, and also partially accounts for
the same variance in the RTs as the auditory FS effect. Future research should investigate whether some other measure derived from
the DLM can fully explain FS effects in listening.
