Correlation of Acupuncture Point Sensitivity and Lesion Location in 259 Horses
Authors: Alfaro Antonio 
Published: June 2023

Palpation of Channels and acupoints is part of the equine traditional Chinese veterinary medicine examination. Sensitivity of acupoints and acupoint combinations have been used to localize disease to certain regions and structures in horses. The objective of this clinical observational study was to scan and record sensitive acupoints of horses presented for lameness, poor performance or pre-purchase examinations and then evaluate the anatomic sites previously suggested for problems, using ultrasound, radiography or nerve blocks. Between January and April 2007, 259 horses, presented for examination, had sensitive acupoints and were evaluated for lesions. Of these, 139/259 (53.7%) horses were presented for lameness and pain, 91/259 (35.1%) horses were presented for general complaints about poor performance and 29/259 (11.2%) horses were presented for pre-purchase examinations. Sensitive acupoints were associated with disorders of tendons (12.9%), ligaments (19.4%), muscles (5.8%), bone (1.4%), joints (23%), hooves (7.2%) and sciatic nerves (10.8%), as well as back pain (13.7%), metacarpal and metatarsal fractures (1.4%) and general poor performance issues (5.81%). Diagnosis was confirmed with ultrasonography (44%), radiography (40%) and/or nerve blocks (16%). In this group of 259 horses, there was 100% correlation with acupoint sensitivity and lesion location reported elsewhere. Integration of palpation of acupoints into the routine conventional examination can be useful to localized lesions in horses with musculoskeletal and performance problems and detect potential problems during pre-purchase examinations.

Aims: To evaluate the impact of tillage and weed management techniques on Plant dry weight, Yield, nutrient uptake by plant and depletion by weed in lentil crop (Lens culinaris M.).
Place and Duration of Study: A field study was conducted at Research Farm of Tirhut College of Agriculture, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa, Bihar, India, from Oct 2020 to Mar 2021.
Methodology: The experiment followed a split-plot design with three replications. The main plots consisted of three tillage practices (M1: Zero tillage, M2: Minimum tillage, and M3: Conventional tillage), while subplots included five weed management practices [T1: control, T2: 1 hand weeding at 20 DAS, T3: chlorimuron-ethyl 4 g/ha (pre-emergence) + paddy straw mulching (5.0 t/ha), T4: quizalofop-ethyl 40 g/ha at 20 DAS (post-emergence) and T5: chlorimuron-ethyl 4 g/ha (pre-emergence) + quizalofop-ethyl 40 g/ha at 20 DAS (post-emergence)].
Results: Among the tillage practices conventional found most effective in term of increasing plant dry weight, grain yield, straw yield, nutrient uptake by crop while effectively reduce the weed dry matter and nutrient depletion by the weed. Among the weed management practices hand weeding proved to be the most effective weed management practice, leading to higher plant dry matter, grain yield, straw yield and nutrient uptake by crop and least weed dry matter weight and nutrient depletion by weeds. Among the chemical weeding chlorimuron ethyl (PE) + paddy straw mulching showed comparable effectiveness to hand weeding in all the parameters. These results highlight the importance of tillage practices and effective weed management techniques in optimizing plant growth, yield, nutrient uptake, and weed control.
Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism
Authors: Rodger Alison , Chubb Joel J. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractCircular dichroism(CD) is the difference in absorption, , of left and right circularly polarized light:For randomly oriented systems such as solutions, only chiral molecules will show any CD intensity corresponding to their absorption bands. Chiral is derived from the Greek word χϵιρ meaning hand and describes something that cannot be superposed on its mirror image by rotation. Two molecules that are mirror images of each other are often referred to as enantiomers and equimolar mixtures of two enantiomers form a racemic mixture which has no net CD intensity in solution. CD can be used to analyze chiral structures, such as a protein secondary structure, and to probe interactions between chiral molecules and other molecules.Linear dichroism(LD) is the difference in absorption of light linearly polarized parallel and perpendicular to an orientation axis:LD can be used to provide orientation information about subunits of a molecular system such as small molecules absorbed onto stretched films, flow‐oriented DNAs and fibrous proteins, and lipid bilayer systems.Both circular and LD are absorbance techniques and most CD instruments will also measure LD. Both CD and LD can also be enhanced by fluorescence detection with either incident circularly or linearly polarized light (fluorescence detected circular and linear dichroism) and/or measurement of the circular or linear nature of the emitted light.

Authors: Bojanić Lana , Baird Alison , Ash Kosturika , Shaw Jenny 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe association between previous convictions and perpetrating homicide has been previously described but little is known about the characteristics of homicide offenders without previous convictions. By utilizing the unique database on homicide offenders held by the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health, this study aimed to describe the sample of homicide perpetrators in England and Wales who have committed homicide as their first offense based on their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Compared with those with previous convictions, homicide offenders without previous convictions were more likely to be female and a member of an ethnic minority group. More of those without previous convictions belonged to the youngest (<25) and oldest (>55) age groups and were more likely to kill somebody family member or a spouse. Schizophrenia and other delusional disorders as well as affective disorders were more prevalent in those without previous convictions as were mental illness/insanity as a circumstance in homicide, but those without previous convictions were less likely to have been in previous contact with mental health services. There are clear sociodemographic and clinical differences between homicide perpetrators with and without previous convictions. Implications of these findings are discussed.

ObjectiveTo examine how patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) perceive RA‐related laboratory testing and the potential utility of a blood test to predict treatment response to a new RA medication.MethodsArthritisPower members with RA were invited to participate in a cross‐sectional survey on reasons for laboratory testing plus a choice‐based conjoint analysis exercise to determine how patients value different attributes of a biomarker‐based test to predict treatment response.ResultsMost patients perceived that their doctors ordered laboratory tests to check for active inflammation (85.9%) or assess medication side effects (81.2%). The most commonly ordered blood tests used to monitor RA were complete blood counts, liver function tests, and those measuring C‐reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Patients felt CRP was most helpful in understanding their disease activity. Most worried their current RA medication would eventually stop working (91.4%) and they would waste time trying a new RA medication that may not work for them (81.7%). For patients who would require a future change in RA treatment, a majority (89.2%) reported that they would be very/extremely interested in a blood test that could help predict whether such new medication would be effective. Highly accurate test results (improving the chance RA medication will work from 50% to 85–95%) were more important to patients than low out‐of‐pocket cost (<$20) or minimal wait time (<7 days).ConclusionsPatients consider RA‐related blood work important for monitoring of inflammation and medication side effects. They worry about treatment effectiveness and would undergo testing to accurately predict treatment response.

Efficiency Versus Game: Twilight Spaces for Homo Ludens
Authors: Mazzanti Giancarlo 
Published: June 2023

AbstractModernist dogma declares that ‘form follows function’, which historically has led to the design of buildings that tightly prescribe what can happen where and when. These uni‐functional spaces often lack a sense of happy expediency and joy. Columbian architect Giancarlo Mazzanti believes spaces and buildings should occupy a twilight zone that facilitates changes of function, is performative, and encourages unexpected social interactions between users and the city. Here he explains some of his firm's spatial tactics.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe human brain possesses an exceptional information processing capability owing to the 3D and dense network architecture of numerous neurons and synapses. Brain‐inspired neuromorphic hardware can also benefit from 3D architectures, such as high integration of circuits and acquisition of highly complex dynamical systems. In this study, for future 3D neuromorphic engineering, 3D conductive polymer networks consisting of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxy‐thiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) anions (PEDOT:PSS) are successfully and stably fabricated between multiple electrodes from scratch in precursor solution by electropolymerization. The networks efficiently emulate the 3D local connections between neighboring neurons observed in the cortex. This novel technology, which allows 3D conductive wiring only between desired electrodes, is unprecedented and has potential as an underlying technology for 3D integration. Furthermore, the experimental results also conclusively prove that conductance modification can be performed by manipulating the physical and chemical properties of 3D branch‐wired conductive polymer wires, thus demonstrating for the first time the feasibility of neuromorphic wetware with enhanced biological plausibility in the subsequent post‐Moore era.
A Large Bandgap Organic Salt Dopant for Sn‐Based Perovskite Thin‐Film Transistor

Published: June 2023

AbstractMetal halide perovskite optoelectronic devices have made significant progress over the past few years, but precise control of charge carrier density through doping is essential for optimizing these devices. In this study, the potential of using an organic salt, N,N‐dimethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, as a dopant for Sn‐based perovskite devices, is explored. Under optimized conditions, the thin film transistors based on the doped 2D/3D perovskite PEAFASnI3 demonstrate remarkable improvement in hole mobility, reaching 7.45 cm2V−1s−1 with a low subthreshold swing and the smallest sweep hysteresis (ΔVhysteresis = 2.27 V) and exceptional bias stability with the lowest contact resistance (2.2 kΩ cm). The bulky chemical structure of the dopant prevents it from penetrating the perovskite lattice and also surface passivation against Sn oxidation due to its hydrophobic nature surface. This improvement is attributed to the bifunctional effect of the dopant, which simultaneously passivates defects and improves crystal orientation. These findings provide new insights into potential molecular dopants that can be used in metal halide perovskite devices.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess extremely anisotropic electronic, thermal, and optical properties owing to their 1D character. While their linear optical properties have been extensively studied, nonlinear optical processes, such as harmonic generation for frequency conversion, remain largely unexplored in CNTs, particularly in macroscopic CNT assemblies. In this work, macroscopic films of aligned and type‐separated (semiconducting and metallic) CNTs are synthesized and polarization‐dependent third‐harmonic generation (THG) from the films with fundamental wavelengths ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 µm is studied. Both films exhibited strongly wavelength‐dependent, intense THG signals, enhanced through exciton resonances, and third‐order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of 2.50 × 10−19 m2 V−2 (semiconducting CNTs) and 1.23 × 10−19 m2 V−2 (metallic CNTs), respectively are found, for 1.8 µm excitation. Further, through systematic polarization‐dependent THG measurements, the values of all elements of the susceptibility tensor are determined, verifying the macroscopically 1D nature of the films. Finally, polarized THG imaging is performed to demonstrate the nonlinear anisotropy in the large‐size CNT film with good alignment. These findings promise applications of aligned CNT films in mid‐infrared frequency conversion, nonlinear optical switching, polarized pulsed lasers, polarized long‐wave detection, and high‐performance anisotropic nonlinear photonic devices.
