Published: February 2024

AbstractSensory processing sensitivity (SPS) has recently been gaining public as well as scientific interest. Evidence is lacking on the relationship between SPS and different dimensions of religiosity and spirituality (R/S). We investigated the associations between SPS and R/S in the Czech Republic. Two samples of Czech adults (N1 = 1406; 48.1 ± 16.4 years; 49.4% women, N2 = 1494; 50.7 ± 15.8 years; 44.1% women) participated in the online survey. We measured SPS, religious attendance, religiosity, spirituality, images of God, negative religious coping (NRC) and religious conspiracy theories (RCT). Results of binary logistic regression found SPS significantly associated with religiosity, spirituality, and NRC with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.38 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22–1.56), 1.61 (95% CI 1.33–1.96) and 1.25 (95% CI 1.02–1.52), respectively. Higher SPS indicated a greater likelihood of perceiving God as ever-present, fatherly, forgiving, gentle, loving, motherly, punishing, just, and absolute, with ORs ranging from 1.14 to 1.26. No significant association was found between SPS and RCT. Results revealed associations between SPS and various aspects of R/S. The study highlights the relevance of considering SPS in clinical contexts involving religious and spiritual issues. Further research might be aimed at comparing the results with countries with different religious backgrounds, or at exploring the links with other variables that may play a role in these relationships.
Demographic, neuropsychological, and speech variables that impact iconic and supplementary-to-speech gesturing in
aphasia

Published: February 2024

Abstract
We model the role of demographic, neuropsychological and speech variables in characterizing iconic gesture use in
speakers with aphasia, especially gestures that supplement speech and are essential for understanding the spoken message. Using
backward regression modelling with cross validation in 37 speakers with aphasia, literature-derived demographic (e.g., age),
neuropsychological (e.g., aphasia and anomia severity), and speech (e.g., speaking duration) variables were used to predict
frequency and rate (per minute) of iconic, supplementary, and essential gesturing. We identified that nearly 60% of iconic
gestures produced by speakers were supplementary to speech with 38% being essential for understanding the speech. Generally, those
with more severe aphasia, anomia, and with nonfluent aphasia tended to produce fewer tokens and a slower rate of speech, and these
were the speakers who produced more and a higher rate of supplementary and essential gestures. These findings underline the
importance of iconic gestures to improve communication.

Abstract
The paper reports on the progress made by second-year language degree university students as regards their use of
online corpus construction, annotation and search tools when exploring video genres (Baldry
and Thibault 2010, 2020; Jablonkai and
Csomay 2022). Through first-hand experiences undertaken with students using the OpenMWS platform (Taibi 2020;
http://mws.pa.itd.cnr.it/
), the paper describes the ways in which, through the creation of new interactive
communities, participation in the Messina OVP (Online Video Project) has empowered these students with regard to their acquisition
of textual competences and, above all, their preparation for more intensive AVT studies in their third and final year. As such,
the paper is a first-step towards online audiovisual translation that lays the bases for subsequent translation work and which is
thus concerned with the underlying cohesion and coherence of the overall text as well as the analysis of specific textual
formations in these videos.

Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have gained significant attention as a promising photovoltaic technology due to their simple fabrication methods and low cost. To improve the competitiveness of DSSC against other photovoltaic devices, enhancing the efficiency is crucial. In this study, we explore the incorporation of Ti3C2T

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Low-temperature plasma (LTP) has emerged as a groundbreaking method for inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) in cancer cells. ICD is a form of cellular demise that triggers an immune response against malignant cells. LTP has demonstrated remarkable potential in activating the immune system and augmenting antitumor responses. In this study, we delved into the capacity of LTP to induce ICD and explored its impact on the immune system. Additionally, we assessed the therapeutic effects of LTP-induced ICD on the immune system within a melanoma tumor model. The LTP treated B16F10 (LTP-B16) showed a notable surge in CD8+T cells accompanied by enhanced expression of granzyme B and IFN-γ, and reduction in Treg cells. This study ingeniously amalgamated LTP-induced ICD with cisplatin to synergistically impede tumor growth. These results offer fresh perspectives for the creation of tumor vaccines based on LTP as well as a new approach for therapeutic tumor immunotherapy.
Tensor gauge fields and dark matter in general relativity with fermions
Authors: Cahill Kevin 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The action of general relativity with fermions has two independent symmetries: general coordinate invariance and local Lorentz invariance. General coordinate transformations act on coordinates and tensor indices, while local Lorentz transformations act on Dirac and Lorentz indices, much like a noncompact internal symmetry.
The internal-symmetry character of local Lorentz invariance suggests that it might be implemented by tensor gauge fields with their own Yang–Mills action rather than by the spin connection as in standard formulations. But because the Lorentz group is noncompact, their Yang–Mills action must be modified by a neutral vector field whose average value at low temperatures is timelike. This vector field and the tensor gauge fields are neutral and interact gravitationally, so they contribute to hot and cold dark matter.
The two independent symmetries of the action are reduced to a single symmetry of the vacuum, local Lorentz invariance, by the nonzero average values of the tetrads

k

a

. The local Lorentz invariance of general relativity with fermions can be extended to local U(2, 2) invariance.
If the contracted squares of the covariant derivatives of the tetrads multiplied by the square of a mass M are added to the action, then in the limit M
2 → ∞ , the equation of motion of the tensor gauge fields is the vanishing of the covariant derivatives of the tetrads, which is Cartan’s first equation of structure. In the same limit, the tensor gauge fields approach the spin connection.

Analytical modeling and optimization of electrostatic particle sensors for particle number detection: incorporating particle size influence
Authors: Wallner Tanja , Bainschab Markus , Kubicka Manuel , Klambauer Reinhard , Bergmann Alexander 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Developing measurement devices and methods to track increasingly stringent emission standards, including particle number, is crucial. This paper presents a novel analytical model to describe the signal response of an electrostatic particle sensor not only to particle mass concentration, but also to the particle number concentration of in-flowing particles. The uniqueness of this model lies in its ability to calculate the signal as a function of particle diameter, enabling the determination of particle number concentration from the signal. The model considers the effects of aerosol flow, electrode voltage and temperature, and can be used for the optimization of the sensor geometry parameters, length, width, and electrode gap. The model was designed to optimize the sensor’s geometry and signal retrieval as well as the optimization of the electric field between the electrodes. Comparative analysis was conducted between the proposed model and a model from the literature as well as experimental data from literature and experimental data collected in this paper.

Abstract
Mg0.472Zn0.528O/Mg0.447Zn0.553O double layer structure UV detectors are made on single structure MgO substrate by PLD method, and the effect of different thickness top MgZnO layer on the UV response characteristics of the detector are studied. Compared with the single layer MgZnO detector that made by Mg0.3Zn0.7O target, the Mg0.472Zn0.528O/Mg0.447Zn0.553O double layer detector with 30 nm top layer, shows much higher deep UV response (21.3 A W−1 at 265 nm), much smaller dark current(66.9 pA) and much higher signal-to-noise ratio (2.8 × 105) at 25 V bias voltage. And the device also shows relative high response (23.1 A W−1) at 235 nm deep UV light at 25 V bias voltage, which is mainly attributed by the bottom MgZnO layer with higher Mg composition. When the top layer is 66.7 nm thick, the response of the Mg0.472Zn0.528O/Mg0.447Zn0.553O detector reached 228.8 A W−1 at 255 nm under 25 V bias voltage, the signal-to-noise ratio of which is 10573 under 20 V bias voltage, and the near UV response of the device is also big because of more h-MgZnO in top MgZnO layer. When the top layer reached 90.2 nm, there are much more h-MgZnO in the top MgZnO layer, the peak response of the Mg0.472Zn0.528O/Mg0.447Zn0.553O detector is just 6.65 A W−1 at 320 nm under 25 V bias voltage, the signal-to-noise ratio of which is 1248. The high Mg composition bottom MgZnO decrease the dark current of the Mg0.472Zn0.528O/Mg0.447Zn0.553O detector, both the 2DEG effect of the double layer structure and the amplify effect of the mix-phase MgZnO top layer, increased the I

Abstract
An experimental study has demonstrated the impact of the geodesic curvature of the magnetic field line on turbulent ion-heat transport in magnetically confined plasma using the large helical device. Statistical analyses with corrected Akaike Information Criterion and multiple regression have revealed that the geodesic curvature indicates a dominant contribution to the ion-heat transport. Geodesic curvature dependence of the zonal-flow effect is evaluated by using a gyrokinetic-simulation-based reduced model. Then, the analysis implies a significant enhancement of the zonal-flow effect with a small geodesic curvature. These two independent analyses indicated the possibility of external zonal-flow control with the geodesic curvature of the magnetic field.
Space-time dependent non-local thermal transport effects on laser ablation dynamics in inertial confinement fusion

Published: February 2024

Abstract
In inertial confinement fusion (ICF), electron thermal transport plays a key role in laser ablation and the subsequent implosion processes, which always exhibits intractable non-local effects. Simple modifications of the local Spitzer–Härm model with either an artificially-assumed constant flux limiter or a purely time-dependent one are applied to explain some experimental data, but fail to simultaneously reproduce the space-time evolution of the whole laser ablation process. Here, by carrying out a series of one-dimensional and two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations where the space-time-dependent non-local thermal transport model proposed by Schurt, Nicolaï and Busquet (the SNB model) are self-consistently included, we systematically study the non-local effects on the whole laser ablation dynamics including those occurring at the critical surface, the conduction zone and the ablation front. Different from those obtained previously, our results show that due to the non-local heat flow redistribution and redirection, at the critical surface the thermal flux is more inhibited, in the conduction zone the lateral thermal transport is suppressed, and ahead of the ablation front the plasma is preheated. When combined together they eventually result in significant improvement of the laser absorption efficiency, extension of the conduction zone, increase of both the mass ablation rate and shock velocity. Furthermore, the dependence of these laser ablation dynamics on different drive laser intensities is investigated, which provides beneficial enlightenments on potential laser pulse shaping and/or ignition scheme optimization in ICF.

The cross sections are calculated for projectile electron energy varying from threshold to 500 eV. Furthermore, the electron impact excitation rate coefficients for all the transitions under investigation are also calculated for electron temperatures ranging from 0.5 to 5 eV. In addition, analytic fitting of the rate coefficients is also performed, providing a practical resource for directly utilizing in plasma modeling applications.
Assessment of thrust force, delamination and temperature during drilling of basalt fiber-reinforced composite with different drill geometries
Authors: Shah Maulik , Chaudhary Vijaykumar , Gohil Piyush 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Basalt fiber-reinforced composites (BFRC) are globally recognized for their superior mechanical properties, resistance to moisture absorption and corrosive substances and environments, which have led to their widespread use in industrial applications. Drilling of BFRC has fascinated researchers because of its non-homogeneous and anisotropic nature and various challenges associated with it. This research article explores the assessment of thrust force, delamination and temperature during drilling of BFRC made through the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. Different feed rates (FR) (0.07, 0.17, 0.27 mm rev–1) and spindle speeds (SS) (1000, 3000, 5000 RPM) also drill geometries such as parabolic, twist, and center drill were considered for parametric study. The study employed a full factorial design (FFD) to evaluate thrust forces (TF), delamination factor (DF), and drilling temperature (DT). ANOVA was used to determine the contributions of drilling parameters, while multivariable regression analysis (MRA) was utilized to establish predictive empirical models. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was also conducted through the drilled hole for understanding of drilling behaviour and surface morphology. Results have demonstrated that feed rate significantly influenced delamination (61.62%) and thrust force (62.73%), whereas drill geometry and spindle speed had the greatest impact on drilling temperature by 55.26% and 33.04%, respectively.
High-density superconductive logic circuits utilizing 0 and π josephson junctions
Authors: Razmkhah Sasan , Pedram Massoud 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Superconductor Electronics (SCE) is a fast and power-efficient technology with great potential for overcoming conventional CMOS electronics’ scaling limits. Nevertheless, the primary challenge confronting SCE today is its integration level, which lags several orders of magnitude behind CMOS circuits. In this study, we have innovated and simulated a novel logic family grounded in the principles of phase shifts occurring in 0 and π Josephson junctions. The fast phase logic (FPL) eliminates the need for large inductor loops and shunt resistances by combining the half-flux and phase logic. Therefore, the Josephson junction (JJ) area only limits the integration density. The cells designed with this paradigm are fast, and the clock-to-Q delay for logic cells is about 4ps. While maintaining over 50% parameter margins for wiring cells. This logic is power efficient and can increase the integration by at least 100×in the SCE chips.

Authors: McGuire Patricia , Glicksman Caroline , Ferenz Sarah , Haws Melinda , Lawrence Marisa , Black Summer , Faasse Kate 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Systemic symptoms associated with breast implants (SSBI) is a term used to describe a group of patients who attribute a variety of symptoms to their implants. Previous studies have shown symptom improvement after implant removal in these patients irrespective of whether part or all the implant capsule has been removed.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate implant removal with no capsule removed in symptomatic and control subjects.

Methods
Eligible study subjects were sequentially enrolled at 5 investigator sites. The SSBI Cohort included patients with systemic symptoms they attributed to their implants who requested explantation. The Non-SSBI Cohort included subjects without systemic symptoms attributed to their implants who requested explantation with or without replacement. All subjects agreed to undergo explantation without removal of any capsule.

Results
Systemic symptom improvement was noted in SSBI subjects without removal of the implant capsule, comparable to the results of our previously published study. SSBI patients showed a 74% reduction in self-reported symptoms at 6 months with no capsulectomy which was not statistically different from partial or total capsulectomies (P = .23).

Conclusions
Explantation with or without capsulectomy provides symptom improvement in patients with systemic symptoms they associate with their implants.

Zero is not absence: censoring-based differential abundance analysis for microbiome data
Authors: Chan Lap Sum , Li Gen 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Motivation
Microbiome data analysis faces the challenge of sparsity, with many entries recorded as zeros. In differential abundance analysis, the presence of excessive zeros in data violates distributional assumptions and creates ties, leading to an increased risk of type I errors and reduced statistical power.

Results
We developed a novel normalization method, called censoring-based analysis of microbiome proportions (CAMP), for microbiome data by treating zeros as censored observations, transforming raw read counts into tie-free time-to-event-like data. This enables the use of survival analysis techniques, like the Cox proportional hazards model, for differential abundance analysis. Extensive simulations demonstrate that CAMP achieves proper type I error control and high power. Applying CAMP to a human gut microbiome dataset, we identify 60 new differentially abundant taxa across geographic locations, showcasing its usefulness. CAMP overcomes sparsity challenges, enabling improved statistical analysis and providing valuable insights into microbiome data in various contexts.
