Published: February 2025

La gestion durable des aquifères dans les régions arides et semi-arides est cruciale pour assurer la durabilité socio-environnementale. La régulation des prélèvements d’eau souterraine peut être réalisée à travers plusieurs instruments. La modélisation hydro-économique fournit des perspectives pour l’analyse de l’efficacité de ces instruments en vue d’une gestion efficace des ressources en eau. En effet, ces modèles offrent aux décideurs des informations importantes qui peuvent les aider à optimiser leurs décisions en matière d’allocation de l’eau. Cette étude évalue l’impact des instruments économiques tels que les quotas, la taxe environnementale et le système quota-taxe, sur la durabilité de l’aquifère Mahdia-Ksour Essef ainsi que sur l’économie locale, tout en intégrant les projections climatiques futures grâce à la modélisation hydro-économique. En explorant divers scénarios de gestion de l’eau, l’étude fournit des recommandations pour améliorer l’allocation des ressources. Les politiques de quotas, ajustés en fonction de la recharge naturelle, ainsi que les taxes et le système quota-taxe sont examinés et comparés au scénario de statu quo. Les résultats montrent que les politiques basées sur les quotas permettent une reconstitution plus rapide de l’aquifère et génèrent des revenus totaux après taxes supérieurs à ceux avant taxes. Par exemple, sous le scénario de changement climatique le plus pessimiste, le quota de préservation de la ressource en eau pour les générations futures pourrait augmenter le niveau de l’aquifère à la fin de la période de simulation de 1,69 m. Ces politiques pourraient influencer les revenus agricoles, en favorisant des cultures plus rentables et résilientes à la sécheresse, telles que les olives et les amandes. Cette étude souligne l’efficacité des modèles hydro-économiques en tant qu’approches pour évaluer la gestion des eaux souterraines. Ainsi, elle oriente les décideurs vers des choix stratégiques favorisant la durabilité et l’efficacité, particulièrement dans un contexte de changement climatique et de surexploitation des ressources en eau.
Clinical Collaboration Commentary: Breaking Down the Role of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy in Colorectal Care
Authors: Barten Julia 
Published: February 2025

AbstractPelvic health treatment demands an understanding of multiple pelvic subspecialties to adequately address. While there are many providers who identify as pelvic health physical therapists, not all are sufficiently able to manage bowel dysfunction. There is a limited number of certified pelvic health specialists within the United States. The goal of this clinical commentary is to break down the role pelvic health physical therapy (PHPT) plays in treatment for colorectal care. The “background” provides insight into the physical therapy (PT) education process and pelvic health specialization. The “methods” discuss PHPT treatment including patient education, examination techniques, value of tests and images, as well as common colorectal conditions. A table summarizes possible findings and treatment considerations for common colorectal conditions, methods for optimizing pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are discussed, and pelvic devices are explained. The “results” of referring patients and expectation for goals is reviewed along with a “discussion” of room for improvement and “conclusion” of important takeaways. The depth of the vast subjects covered shall only be briefly summarized in this clinical commentary with the hope that it provides context, explanations, recommendations, and leads to future discussions and research that includes PHPT.
The form and force of Kirundi exclamatives
Authors: Myers Willie 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper examines the syntax and semantics of two types of exclamatives in Kirundi: property exclamatives, which
express surprise at the extreme degree of some property of an entity, and proposition exclamatives, which express surprise at a
proposition’s truth. Though most languages have canonical clause types for declaratives, interrogatives, and imperatives, only
some further distinguish exclamatives (Sadock & Zwicky 1985). Drawing on fieldwork,
I argue that the form and force of Kirundi exclamatives motivates their recognition as a true clause type. Notably, Kirundi
exclamatives satisfy semantic criteria for exclamativity but take a unique form, lacking overt wh- and/or degree
morphology. I propose a constructional account, in the spirit of Zanuttini & Portner
2003, in which exclamativity arises as the result of interaction between syntactic elements linked to factivity,
general interrogative force, and focus. This paper has implications for exclamative typology and the analysis of illocutionary
force at the syntax-semantics interface.
The acquisition of locative inversion at the syntax-pragmatics interface by Chinese learners of English
Authors: Jiang Shan , Zhang Huiping 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study investigated the acquisition of English locative inversion at the syntax-pragmatics interface by
Chinese learners, and explored the factors for non-native performance within the framework of the Interface Hypothesis. A picture
description test and a context-matching test were administered through an online questionnaire to 300 Chinese learners of English
and twenty native speakers of English at a university in China. Follow-up interviews were conducted with thirty Chinese learners.
Results showed that (1) compared with English natives, Chinese learners under-produced locative inversion, achieving native-like
attainment until the advanced stage; (2) they also displayed a different preference pattern for locative inversion, converging to
a native-like pattern by the advanced stage; (3) non-native performance in production was attributed to processing limitations and
input frequency, while that in interpretation resulted from underspecification of form-function mapping, input frequency and
contexts. The paper offers implications for syntax-pragmatics teaching and proposes future directions for L2 interface
studies.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The dynamic crack propagation characteristics of brittle materials are a crucial focus in impact dynamics. The randomness of crack growth under impact loading poses significant challenges to accurately monitoring crack behavior during experiments. In this study, two novel crack refinement measurement techniques based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) technology were developed to provide more comprehensive strain distribution data under impact loading and to capture detailed crack propagation behavior. Additionally, a trending algorithm was introduced to process large datasets and accurately pinpoint crack locations. The study begins by presenting the two innovative deployment methods and the fabrication process of custom specimens. After conducting impact tests on the specimens, the resulting strain distribution data were compared with actual crack propagation. The results demonstrated precise crack location identification down to the millimeter level, and the crack extension path was accurately mapped using strain profiles from fiber-optic measurements. These findings validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which shows great potential for accurately monitoring, locating, and quantifying cracks using distributed optical fibers.&#xD;

Abstract
This paper proposes an autonomous anti-disturbance control algorithm for vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (VTOL-UAV) in satellite positioning rejection environment. In this kind of environment, the external satellite information is unavailable. This paper proposes a VTOL-UAV environment perception and precise positioning algorithm based on tightly coupled LiDAR and inertial navigation, on the basis of environment perception and precise positioning, the autonomous motion planning algorithm for VTOL-UAV is proposed. Motion planning is carried out according to the environmental information and the dynamic characteristics of the UAV, and the planning results include the spatial path information, the velocity information, the acceleration information and the JERK information of the UAV. Finally, the path tracking method of the VTOL-UAV with an extended state observer is proposed. Based on accurate estimation and feed-forward suppression of the external disturbances of the complex environment, the motion planning results can be accurately tracked, so as to realize the autonomous control of VTOL-UAV in complex environment of ultra-low altitude and improve the intelligence level of UAV.&#xD;

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Objective: Uveal melanomas and retinoblastomas can be treated with ophthalmic beta-emitting ruthenium-106/rhodium-106 applicators. The applicator manufacturer provides a datasheet of the dosimetric properties of each applicator set, but the source strengths and 3D dose distributions should be verified by the end user with independent measurements. Approach: The purpose of this work was to calibrate diamond detector against low energy electron beam and determine necessary correction factors in the geometry of ophthalmic applicators to be able to perform quality assurance (QA) measurements for the applicators. Two separate sets of applicators were evaluated. Main results: The results showed good agreement with manufacturers' specifications. An average agreement of 3 % to the manufacturer's reference data was observed: measured dose rate / reference = 0.97 +/- 0.04 (mean +/- SD), range 0.90 - 1.05. Significance: It can be concluded that megavoltage electron beam is suitable for calibration of a diamond detector. After calibration, detector can be used for an absolute dose measurement of a ruthenium-106/rhodium-106 applicator with sufficient performance to detect deviations larger than 10 % in the QA before clinical use.
Anticipating potential bottlenecks in adaptive proton FLASH therapy: a ridge filter reuse strategy

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Objective&#xD;Achieving FLASH dose rate with Pencil Beam Scanning intensity modulated proton therapy is challenging. However, utilizing a single energy layer with a ridge filter (RF) can maintain dose rate and conformality. Yet, changes in patient anatomy over the treatment course can render the RF obsolete. Unfortunately, creating a new RF is time-consuming, thus, incompatible with online adaptation. To address this, we propose to re-optimize the spot weights while keeping the same initial RF.&#xD;Approach&#xD;Data from six head and neck cancer patients with a repeated computed tomography (CT2) were used. FLASH treatment plans were generated with three methods on CT2: "full-adaptation" (FA), optimized from scratch with a new RF; "spot-adaptation only” (SAO), re-using initial RF but adjusting plan spot weights; and “no adaptation” (NoA) where the dose from initial plans on initial CT (CT1) was recomputed on CT2. The prescribed dose per fraction was 9 Gy. Different beam angles were tested for each CT2 (1 beam per fraction). &#xD;The FA, SAO and NoA plans were then compared on CT2. &#xD;Main results&#xD;Fractions with SAO showed a mean decrease of 0.08Gy for D98% of and a mean increase of 0.03Gy for D2% of CTV when compared to their homologous FA plans on nominal case. Median conformity number decreased by 0.02. Mean max dose to spinal cord increased by 0.2Gy. The largest average increase in mean dose to organs was 0.1Gy to the right parotid. The largest observed mean difference in organs receiving a minimal dose rate of 40Gy/s was 1.4% for the mandible. &#xD;Up to 16 of the 20 evaluated SAO fractions were thus deemed clinically acceptable, with up to 8 NoA plans already acceptable before adaptation.&#xD;Significance&#xD;Proposed SAO workflow showed that for most of our evaluated plans, daily reprinting of RF was not necessary. &#xD;
Selective reagent ion – time-of-flight – mass spectrometric studies of cocaine: investigations of charge and proton transfer reaction processes
Authors: Chawaguta Anesu , Olivenza-León David , Sulzer Philipp , Mayhew Chris A , Petralia Lorenzo Salvatore 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Investigations are reported for the reactions of H3O+.(H2O)n (n = 0 and 1), NO+ and O2+• with cocaine (C17H21NO4) using a Selective Reagent Ion-Time-of-Flight-Mass Spectrometer (SRI-ToF-MS) covering a range of DC reduced electric field values (from approximately 60 Td up to about 230 Td), with the electric field strength being determined from the total DC voltage drop across the drift tube. In addition to examining the influence of the reduced electric field value on the reagent ion-cocaine product ion types and distributions, the effects of applying a radio frequency (RF) electric field in the ion funnel region of the drift tube are also reported. Observed reaction pathways without (DC mode) and with (DC + RF mode) the ion funnel operating include non-dissociative and dissociative proton transfer for the reactions involving H3O+.(H2O)n (n = 0 and 1), and non-dissociative and dissociative charge transfer for the reactions involving NO+ and O2+•. Although the dissociative proton transfer pathways leading to product ions with m/z values of 272.129 (C16H18NO3+), 182.118 (C10H16NO2+) and 123045 (C7H7O2+) are highly exoergic, as determined from density functional theory calculations, non-dissociative proton transfer dominates resulting in C17H21NO4.H+ at m/z 304.155. The significance of the lack of dissociative proton transfer is discussed. Non dissociative charge transfer, leading to C17H22NO4+ at m/z 303.155, dominates up to DC drift tube electric field strengths of about 80 V/cm, after which the product ion C5H8N+ becomes the dominant product ion. Other product ions resulting from dissociative charge transfer processes that are common to both NO+ and O2+• reactions with cocaine are C10H16NO2+ and C7H5O+ at m/z 182.118 and 105.036, respectively. The reactions with O2+• lead to a fourth observed fragment ion at m/z 272.129 corresponding to C16H18NO3+.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The mode-locked (ML) all-fiber lasers with a linear cavity, using a single-mode-graded-index multimode-single-mode (SMS) device or a single-mode-few-mode-single-mode (SFS) device, are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The homemade SMS or SFS devices work on the principle of nonlinear multimode interference. The linear cavity was constructed with two fiber Bragg gratings. By inserting an optimized length SMS into a Thulium-doped cavity, we achieved a 1724.9 nm Q-switched ML pulsed laser at the pump threshold of 29.9 dBm. A ML laser was observed when the multimode fiber in the SMS was stretched with a pump power of 31 dBm. The pulse width was about 326.3 ps, and the repetition rate was 16.5 MHz. The SMS was replaced with the SFS for comparison, and it was observed that the ML laser could be obtained with a better tolerance of the few-mode fiber length. Additionally, the SFS device offered a lower pump threshold and higher slope efficiency.
Enhancement of four-wave mixing due to coherent holes burning in a degenerate two-level system
Authors: Zhi-Yuan Liu , Yi-Fan Yao , Sun Yue , Han Jia-Yu , Du Ying-Jie 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We present a theoretical study of four-wave mixing (FWM) in a degenerate two-level atomic system subject to a magnetic field whose Zeeman sublevels constitute a tripod-type atomic system, which is driven by a linearly polarized field, and coupled and probed by two sets of left and right circularly polarized fields. The optical effects of coherent hole burning (CHB) and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are involved in the coherent system, among which the CHB has much larger response for the FWM than the EITs. Three situations of CHB are involved, and they are the solitary CHB, overlapped CHBs, and overlap between CHB and EIT. For the overlapped CHBs, there is the greatest magnitude of the FWM signal among the three situations. However, for the overlapped CHB and EIT, there is the smallest FWM magnitude among them, which is not more than one tenth of the former. While for the single CHB, the FWM magnitude has half of that for the overlapped CHBs. It is noted that in the overlap between CHB and EIT the dual EIAs can be obtained, whose FWM signal also has an enhancement in comparison to no EIA.
Extension of the visibility concept for EEG signal processing

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Objective. Visibility is an intrinsic property of any network of sensors that describes the regions in which its measurement sensitivity is concentrated. Initially introduced to describe the global spatial sensitivity of air pollution monitoring networks, we propose to extend the concept of visibility to characterize the detection capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) systems utilized to measure brain electrical activity. Approach. In this paper, we represent visibility within the brain as a field of symmetric 3×3 matrices, satisfying the so-called “renormalizing conditions”, and interpreted as second-order tensors. A compact and computationally efficient iterative algorithm is proposed for computing this tensor field. In addition, we explain how to visualize and present the visibility information in an intuitive and easily understandable way. Main results. The visibility concept is exploited to evaluate and compare the ability of three consumer-grade EEG headsets to detect and localize an arbitrary current distribution in the brain. Additionally, visibility is applied to derive an inverse solution that can solve the Neuroelectromagnetic Inverse Problem (NIP) by reconstructing focal brain sources from EEG data. Significance. Although the lead field function approach can be employed to describe the sensitivity of individual electrodes from an EEG headset, this paper extends the sensor network’s visibility concept to characterize the sensing capabilities of a complete EEG system. The comparison between three consumer-grade EEG headsets shows that the size of the low-visibility brain area decreases when the number of electrodes used increases. In addition, we show that the source parameters are best estimated by the inverse solution when they are oriented towards the maximum visibility direction.
Sparse Knowledge Sharing (SKS) for privacy-preserving domain incremental seizure detection

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Objective: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects millions of patients worldwide. Electroencephalogram-based seizure detection plays a crucial role in its timely diagnosis and effective monitoring. However, due to distribution shifts in patient data, existing seizure detection approaches are often patient-speciﬁc, which requires customized models for different patients. This paper considers privacy-preserving domain incremental learning (PP-DIL), where the model learns sequentially from each domain (patient) while only accessing the current domain data and previously trained models. This scenario has three main challenges: 1) catastrophic forgetting of previous domains, 2) privacy protection of previous domains, and 3) distribution shifts among domains. Approach: We propose a Sparse Knowledge Sharing (SKS) approach. First, Euclidean Alignment is employed to align data from different domains. Then, we propose an Adaptive Pruning approach for SKS to allocate subnet for each domain adaptively, allowing speciﬁc parameters to learn domain-speciﬁc knowledge while shared parameters to preserve knowledge from previous domains. Additionally, Supervised Contrastive Learning is employed to enhance the model’s ability to distinguish relevant features. Main Results: Experiments on two public seizure datasets demonstrated that SKS achieved superior performance in PP-DIL. Signiﬁcance: SKS is a rehearsal-free privacy-preserving approach that effectively learns new domains while minimizing the impact on previously learned domains, achieving a better balance between plasticity and stability.&#xD;
Experimental study on the impact of viscosity index and contaminant concentration on the vibration characteristics of a Dual-Disc flexible rotor
Authors: Sun Ming , Cai Xin , Gao Bingpeng 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The vibration of rotor systems is significantly affected by solid particle contaminants, leading to reduced system performance and, in some cases, failure. In this paper, the influence of lubricant viscosity index and solid particle contaminants on the vibration characteristics of a dual-disc flexible rotor was examined. A dual-disc flexible rotor test rig was established. Extensive experiments were carried out by mixing various concentrations of contaminants with four types of lubricants, each with a different viscosity index. The results indicated that nonlinear vibration phenomena were induced by the presence of contaminants. Significant changes in the rotor’s vibration characteristics were observed when contaminants were introduced into lubricants of varying viscosity indices, altering the system’s maximum amplitude and critical speed. These alterations included abrupt amplitude shifts and periodic variations in critical speed. This study provides important experimental evidence for the operation of dual-disc flexible rotor systems in complex environments and supports the further optimization of rotor design and safe operational strategies under contamination conditions.
