Conviction Narrative Theory and the Theory of Narrative Thought
Authors: Beach Lee Roy , Wise James A. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Conviction Narrative Theory bears a close resemblance to the Theory of Narrative Thought, although the two were designed to address different questions. In this commentary, we detail some of the more pronounced similarities and differences and suggest that resolving the latter could produce a third theory of narrative cognition that is superior to either of these two.
A novel 10 kV high-voltage cable stripping robot’s mechanism design and analysis
Authors: Zhong Jun , Wang Zhichao , Hu Shaoguang , Han Zhenfeng 
Published: May 2023

AbstractA 10 kV distribution network is critical for ensuring power supply to residents and factories. The number of power maintenance operations is rapidly increasing, and aerial cable stripping is a significant branch of these routine maintenances. High-voltage cable stripping, on the other hand, is mostly done manually, which is inefficient and poses serious security risks. As a result, this paper proposes an automatic wire stripping robot for use in a 10 kV power grid. The mechanical structure of the stripping robot is designed for installation on the insulating rod based on the working environment of 10 kV overhead cables. The robot was subjected to electromagnetic field simulation, modal analysis, and rigid-flexible coupling analysis. Finally, the robot prototype is built, and the PID controller is designed. Stripping tests are performed on a cable with a cross-sectional area of 95, 120, 150, 240, and 300 mm2, and the results are satisfactory.

SummaryInformation about population sizes, trends, and habitat use is key for species conservation and management. The Buff-breasted SandpiperCalidris subruficollis(BBSA) is a long-distance migratory shorebird that breeds in the Arctic and migrates to south-eastern South America, wintering in the grasslands of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Most studies of Nearctic migratory species occur in the Northern Hemisphere, but monitoring these species at non-breeding areas is crucial for conservation during this phase of the annual cycle. Our first objective was to estimate trends of BBSA at four key areas in southern Brazil during the non-breeding season. We surveyed for BBSA and measured vegetation height in most years from 2008/09 to 2019/20. We used hierarchical distance sampling models in which BBSA abundance and density were modelled as a function of vegetation height and corrected for detectability. Next, we used on-the-ground surveys combined with satellite imagery and habitat classification models to estimate BBSA population size in 2019/20 at two major non-breeding areas. We found that abundance and density were negatively affected by increasing vegetation height. Abundance fluctuated five- to eight-fold over the study period, with peaks in the middle of the study (2014/15). We estimated the BBSA wintering population size as 1,201 (95% credible interval [CI]: 637–1,946) birds in Torotama Island and 2,232 (95% CI: 1,199–3,584) in Lagoa do Peixe National Park during the 2019/20 austral summer. Although no pronounced trend was detected, BBSA abundance fluctuated greatly from year to year. Our results demonstrate that only two of the four key areas hold high densities of BBSA and highlight the positive effect of short grass on BBSA numbers. Short-grass coastal habitats used by BBSA are strongly influenced by livestock grazing and climate, and are expected to shrink in size with future development and climatic changes.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSea level rise (SLR) increases the frequency of floods caused by forces such as spring tides or storm surges. However, with the continuous evolution of global ocean tides, future flooding may be driven only by astronomical tides. Therefore, we introduce an inaction method (IM) that can accurately extract the harmonic constant of tidal components from the time‐frequency spectrum of the tide, and obtain the precise long‐term trend and spatial evolution characteristics of the tides at 18 sites along the East Coast of the United States (ECUS). Except for some sites in the middle of the East Coast, M2 shows an average upward trend of more than 51 mm/century, which is most obvious at three sites in North Carolina, with an average upward trend of more than 80 mm/century. We simultaneously combine the IM with harmonic analysis into an IMHA method to estimate the historical and future “Tide‐only” inundation (TOI) frequency and quantify the effect of tidal evolution on the future TOI frequency. The results show that four stations in the Gulf of Maine have experienced relatively frequent TOI events in the past, with the highest frequency at the Eastport station. The most significant increasing and decreasing effects of tidal evolution on the future TOI frequency under the SLR scenario are at the Wilmington and Lewes stations, respectively. At the spatial scale, there are increases in the northeast and southeast and a decrease in the middle of the ECUS, which is consistent with the spatial characteristics of the long‐term tidal trend.
On the Evolution of Tropopause Layer Cooling Over Tropical Cyclone

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis study investigates the evolution of tropopause layer cooling (TLC) in an idealized tropical cyclone (TC) as well as the physical mechanism for its formation throughout its lifetime. TLC development is closely related to the intensity change of the TC. The TLC within the inner core of a TC coincides with the occurrence of the TC warm core, whereas the enhancement of the TLC precedes the strengthening of the warm core and the intensification of the TC. This phenomenon suggests that the TLC could be a valuable signal for predicting TC intensity and intensity change. After the onset of rapid intensification, the TLC continues to enhance until it is replaced by the warm core in the inner core region, and it expands to the outer core area and forms a cold ring above the TC outflow layer. The budget analyses of the azimuthal mean potential temperature indicate that advection plays a leading role during all stages of the TLC evolution. Prior to and during the rapid intensification stages of a TC, advection (due to eddy motion) contributes to a cooling of the upper layer above the TC center. This upper‐level cooling is assumed to be related to the uplift caused by overshooting and convection within the inner core. However, the advection process caused by the azimuthal vertical motion dominated the broad cooling across the whole TLC area.

AbstractInterleukin 34 (IL-34) mainly plays physiologic and pathologic roles through the sophisticated multi-ligand signaling system, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, CSF-1)/IL-34-CSF-1R axis, which exhibits functional redundancy, tissue-restriction and diversity. This axis is vital for the survival, differentiation and function of monocytic lineage cells and plays pathologic roles in a broad range of diseases. However, the role of IL-34 in leukemia has not been established. Here MLL-AF9 induced mouse acute myeloid leukemia (AML) model overexpressing IL-34 (MA9-IL-34) was used to explore its role in AML. MA9-IL-34 mice exhibited accelerated disease progression and short survival time with significant subcutaneous infiltration of AML cells. MA9-IL-34 cells showed increased proliferation. In vitro colony forming assays and limiting dilution transplantation experiments demonstrated that MA9-IL-34 cells had elevated leukemia stem cell (LSC) levels. Gene expression microarray analysis revealed a panel of differential expressed genes including Sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 13 (Sox13). Furthermore, a positive correlation between the expressions of IL-34 and Sox13 was detected human datasets. Knockdown of Sox13 rescued the enhanced proliferation, high LSC level and subcutaneous infiltration in MA9-IL-34 cells. Moreover, more leukemia-associated macrophages (LAMs) were detected in MA9-IL-34 microenvironment. Additionally, those LAMs showed M2-like phenotype since they expressed high level of M2-associated genes and had attenuated phagocytic potential, suggesting that LAMs should also contribute to IL-34 caused adverse phenotypes. Therefore, our findings uncover the intrinsic and microenvironmental mechanisms of IL-34 in AML and broadens the knowledge of M-CSF/IL-34-CSF-1R axis in malignancies.
GATA4-activated lncRNA MALAT1 promotes osteogenic differentiation through inhibiting NEDD4-mediated RUNX1 degradation

Published: May 2023

AbstractPostmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) brings a lot of inconvenience to patients and serious economic burden to society. The osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) plays vital role in the process of PMOP treatment. However, the functional mechanism remains unclear. In this study, GATA4, MALAT1 and KHSRP were downregulated in bone tissues of PMOP patients, while NEDD4 was overexpressed. Through functional experiments, GATA4 overexpression strikingly accelerated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and promoted bone formation in vitro and in vivo, while these effects were dramatically reversed after MALAT1 silence. Intermolecular interaction experiments confirmed that GATA4 activated the transcription of MALAT1, which could form a ‘RNA-protein’ complex with KHSRP to decay NEDD4 mRNA. NEDD4 promoted the degradation of Runx1 by ubiquitination. Moreover, NEDD4 silencing blocked the inhibitory effects of MALAT1 knockdown on BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. In sum up, GATA4-activated MALAT1 promoted BMSCs osteogenic differentiation via regulating KHSPR/NEDD4 axis-regulated RUNX1 degradation, ultimately improving PMOP.

AbstractComplex systems are embedded in our everyday experience. Stochastic modelling enables us to understand and predict the behaviour of such systems, cementing its utility across the quantitative sciences. Accurate models of highly non-Markovian processes – where the future behaviour depends on events that happened far in the past – must track copious amounts of information about past observations, requiring high-dimensional memories. Quantum technologies can ameliorate this cost, allowing models of the same processes with lower memory dimension than corresponding classical models. Here we implement such memory-efficient quantum models for a family of non-Markovian processes using a photonic setup. We show that with a single qubit of memory our implemented quantum models can attain higher precision than possible with any classical model of the same memory dimension. This heralds a key step towards applying quantum technologies in complex systems modelling.

AbstractSolid-state control of the thermal conductivity of materials is of exceptional interest for novel devices such as thermal diodes and switches. Here, we demonstrate the ability tocontinuouslytune the thermal conductivity of nanoscale films of La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ(LSCO) by a factor of over 5, via a room-temperature electrolyte-gate-induced non-volatile topotactic phase transformation from perovskite (withδ≈ 0.1) to an oxygen-vacancy-ordered brownmillerite phase (withδ= 0.5), accompanied by a metal-insulator transition. Combining time-domain thermoreflectance and electronic transport measurements, model analyses based on molecular dynamics and Boltzmann transport equation, and structural characterization by X-ray diffraction, we uncover and deconvolve the effects of these transitions on heat carriers, including electrons and lattice vibrations. The wide-range continuous tunability of LSCO thermal conductivity enabled by low-voltage (below 4 V) room-temperature electrolyte gating opens the door to non-volatile dynamic control of thermal transport in perovskite-based functional materials, for thermal regulation and management in device applications.

AbstractAlthough long-read single-cell RNA isoform sequencing (scISO-Seq) can reveal alternative RNA splicing in individual cells, it suffers from a low read throughput. Here, we introduce HIT-scISOseq, a method that removes most artifact cDNAs and concatenates multiple cDNAs for PacBio circular consensus sequencing (CCS) to achieve high-throughput and high-accuracy single-cell RNA isoform sequencing. HIT-scISOseq can yield >10 million high-accuracy long-reads in a single PacBio Sequel II SMRT Cell 8M. We also report the development of scISA-Tools that demultiplex HIT-scISOseq concatenated reads into single-cell cDNA reads with >99.99% accuracy and specificity. We apply HIT-scISOseq to characterize the transcriptomes of 3375 corneal limbus cells and reveal cell-type-specific isoform expression in them. HIT-scISOseq is a high-throughput, high-accuracy, technically accessible method and it can accelerate the burgeoning field of long-read single-cell transcriptomics.

AbstractRecent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing have shown heterogeneous cell types and gene expression states in the non-cancerous cells in tumors. The integration of multiple scRNA-seq datasets across tumors can indicate common cell types and states in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We develop a data driven framework, MetaTiME, to overcome the limitations in resolution and consistency that result from manual labelling using known gene markers. Using millions of TME single cells, MetaTiME learns meta-components that encode independent components of gene expression observed across cancer types. The meta-components are biologically interpretable as cell types, cell states, and signaling activities. By projecting onto the MetaTiME space, we provide a tool to annotate cell states and signature continuums for TME scRNA-seq data. Leveraging epigenetics data, MetaTiME reveals critical transcriptional regulators for the cell states. Overall, MetaTiME learns data-driven meta-components that depict cellular states and gene regulators for tumor immunity and cancer immunotherapy.

AbstractGerm cell tumors (GCTs) are neoplasms of the testis, ovary and extragonadal sites that occur in infants, children, adolescents and adults. Post-pubertal (type II) malignant GCTs may present as seminoma, non-seminoma or mixed histologies. In contrast, pre-pubertal (type I) GCTs are limited to (benign) teratoma and (malignant) yolk sac tumor (YST). Epidemiologic and molecular data have shown that pre- and post-pubertal GCTs arise by distinct mechanisms. Dedicated studies of the genomic landscape of type I and II GCT in children and adolescents are lacking. Here we present an integrated genomic analysis of extracranial GCTs across the age spectrum from 0–24 years. Activation of the WNT pathway by somatic mutation, copy-number alteration, and differential promoter methylation is a prominent feature of GCTs in children, adolescents and young adults, and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Significantly, we find that small molecule WNT inhibitors can suppress GCT cells both in vitro and in vivo. These results highlight the importance of WNT pathway signaling in GCTs across all ages and provide a foundation for future efforts to develop targeted therapies for these cancers.
Charge order in the kagome lattice Holstein model: a hybrid Monte Carlo study

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe Holstein model is a paradigmatic description of the electron-phonon interaction, in which electrons couple to local dispersionless phonon modes, independent of momentum. The model has been shown to host a variety of ordered ground states such as charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity on several geometries, including the square, honeycomb, and Lieb lattices. In this work, we study CDW formation in the Holstein model on the kagome lattice, using a recently developed hybrid Monte Carlo simulation method. We present evidence for $$\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3}$$

CDW order at an average electron filling of 〈n〉 = 2/3 per site, with an ordering wavevector at the K-points of the Brillouin zone. We estimate a phase transition occurring at Tc ≈ t/18, where t is the nearest-neighbor hopping parameter. Our simulations find no signature of CDW order at other electron fillings or ordering momenta for temperatures T ≥ t/20.
Iron-organic frameworks as effective fenton-like catalysts for peroxymonosulfate decomposition in advanced oxidation processes

Published: May 2023

AbstractAlthough Fenton-like reactions have been extensively used to treat various organic contaminants in wastewaters (oily wastewaters, landfill leachate, denitrification with Fenton oxidized non-degradable large molecular organic pollutants, and removal of phosphorus, etc.), the difficulty in catalyst recovery and the instability of catalytic activity limit their practical application. Herein, iron atoms were inserted in a metal-organic framework (FeNC) with dual reaction sites as highly reactive and stable electro-Fenton-like catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of organic pollutants via the electro-Fenton-like activation reaction of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with fractional leaching of metal ions. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that FeNC with FeN4 and Fe–Fe active sites can rapidly deliver electrons for PMS dissociation. Further, an electrolysis reactor was constructed for the on-site generation of reactive oxygen species, which can stably and continuously purify various organic wastewaters. The combined use of an electrolysis reactor and magnetic catalyst in the current study provides a direction for the long-term remediation of organic pollutants on an industrial scale.

AbstractThis dataset contains biogeochemical samples analyzed by the Plankton Chemistry Laboratory at the Institute of Marine Research (IMR), from the Norwegian, Greenland and Iceland Seas. Number of surveys and stations have varied greatly over the last 3 decades. IMR is conducting one annual Ecosystem Survey in April-May each year, with multiple trawl surveys and net tows, but only CTD water collections are reported here. This month-long exercise also has companion vessels from Iceland and the Faroe Islands surveying their own territorial waters. Three transects are the core of the time-series, visited multiple times each year (Svinøy-NorthWest, Gimsøy-NorthWest, Bjørnøya-West). On each station, the CTD cast is sampled for dissolved inorganic nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate) and phytoplankton chlorophyll-a and phaeopigments (ChlA, Phaeo) at predetermined depths. At times, short-term projects have collected samples for Winkler dissolved oxygen titrations (DOW) and particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (POC, PN) determinations. This unique data set has seen limited use over the years but is a great contribution towards global ocean research and climate change investigations.
Accumulation of radiocarbon in ancient landscapes: A small but significant input of unknown origin
Authors: Broz Adrian , Aguilar Jerod , Xu Xiaomei , Silva Lucas C. R. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe persistence of organic carbon (C) in soil is most often considered at timescales ranging from tens to thousands of years, but the study of organic C in paleosols (i.e., ancient, buried soils) suggests that paleosols may have the capacity to preserve organic compounds for tens of millions of years. However, a quantitative assessment of C sources and sinks from these ancient terrestrial landscapes is complicated by additions of geologically modern (~ 10 Ka) C, primarily due to the infiltration of dissolved organic carbon. In this study, we quantified total organic C and radiocarbon activity in samples collected from 28- to 33-million-year-old paleosols that are naturally exposed as unvegetated badlands near eastern Oregon’s “Painted Hills”. We also used thermal and evolved gas analysis to examine the thermodynamic stability of different pools of C in bulk samples. The study site is part of a ~ 400-m-thick sequence of Eocene–Oligocene (45–28 Ma) paleosols, and thus we expected to find radiocarbon-free samples preserved in deep layers of the lithified, brick-like exposed outcrops. Total organic C, measured in three individual profiles spanning depth transects from the outcrop surface to a 1-m depth, ranged from 0.01 to 0.2 wt% with no clear C-concentration or age-depth profile. Ten radiocarbon dates from the same profiles reveal radiocarbon ages of ~ 11,000–30,000 years BP that unexpectedly indicate additions of potentially modern organic C. A two-endmember mixing model for radiocarbon activity suggests that modern C may compose ~ 0.5–2.4% of the total organic C pool. Thermal and evolved gas analysis showed the presence of two distinct pools of organic C, but there was no direct evidence that C compounds were associated with clay minerals. These results challenge the assumption that ancient badland landscapes are inert and “frozen in time” and instead suggest they readily interact with the modern C cycle.
