Probabilistic creep with the Wilshire–Cano–Stewart model
Authors: Hossain Md Abir , Cano Jaime A. , Stewart Calvin M. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractCreep behavior is susceptible to uncertainty. Replicated creep data for steel can exhibit logarithm decades of uncertainty, which necessitates the development of probabilistic creep models for reliability‐based design. The deterministic Wilshire–Cano–Stewart (WCS) model is transformed into a probabilistic creep deformation, damage, and rupture prediction model via injecting the uncertainty of test conditions, pre‐existing damage, and material constants. The WCS model is calibrated to replicated quintuplicate creep data from a “single heat” of 304 stainless steel. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method with the Metropolis–Hastings (MH) algorithm is employed to introduce the sources of uncertainties into the model via calibrated probability distribution functions (pdfs). The probabilistic predictions encapsulate most of the experimental outliers across isostresses‐isotherms. Interpolative and extrapolative assessments reveal that minimum‐creep‐strain‐rate (MCSR) and stress rupture (SR) predictions are consistent across isotherms. The WCS probabilistic model captures the range of creep behavior of a single heat of material using short‐term data.

Abstract
Understanding fire effects on multitrophic levels is critical to the context of changes in fire regime and climate. Insects located at higher trophic levels, like parasitoids, are more vulnerable to habitat changes than insect herbivores because they need well‐established populations of their hosts to survive. Currently, fire effects on parasitoids and their interactions with their hosts are unknown.
Our aim was to study the changes in abundance, richness and species composition, as well as the food web structure in a system involving parasitoids and galling insects under different fire scenarios. We asked whether potential changes in abundance, species richness and composition of parasitoid communities are explained by galled plant abundance, species richness and composition of galling insects, and how fire affects the structure of galling insect–parasitoid food webs.
The highest parasitoid richness was found in the 9 years after fire scenario, whereas parasitoid abundance was not affected by fire. The parasitoid species composition in the 9 years after fire scenario was different from that in the unburned and 3 years after fire scenarios. Parasitoid communities were modulated by galled plant abundance, species richness and composition of galling insect communities. Vulnerability was significantly higher in 9 years after fire scenarios, but it increased with increasing network size.
Fire affects the community of parasitoids through changes in their host communities. Differences in exclusivity to fire scenarios and diet specialisation of parasitoid species and galling insect richness may explain the patterns found. Our study supports evidence that fire creates habitats heterogeneous in the availability of hosts shaping the parasitoid communities, with a bottom‐up effect in food webs. Additionally, in burned areas were recorded unique galling insect–parasitoid interactions.

AbstractBackgroundThere is considerable variation in vaccination practices between pediatric transplant centers. This study aims to evaluate active immunization attitudes and practices among ERN‐TransplantChild centers and identify potential areas of improvement that could be addressed by shared evidence‐based protocols.MethodsA cross‐sectional questionnaire of attitudes and practices toward immunization of pediatric SOT and HSCT candidates and recipients was sent to a representative member of multidisciplinary teams from 27 European centers belonging to the ERN‐TransplantChild.ResultsA total of 28/62 SOT programs and 6/12 HSCT programs across 21 European centers participated. A quarter of centers did not have an on‐site protocol for the immunizations. At the time of transplantation, pediatric candidates were fully immunized (80%–100%) in 57% and 33% of the SOT and HSCT programs. Variations in the time between vaccine administration and admission to the waiting list were reported between the centers, with 2 weeks for inactivated vaccines and variable time (2–4 weeks) for live‐attenuated vaccines (LAVs). Almost all sites recommended immunization in the post‐transplant period, with a time window of 4–8 months for the inactivated vaccines and 16–24 months for MMR and Varicella vaccines. Only five sites administer LAVs after transplantation, with seroconversion evaluated in 80% of cases.ConclusionsThe immunization coverage of European pediatric transplant recipients is still inconsistent and far from adequate. This survey is a starting point for developing shared evidence‐based immunization protocols for safe vaccination among pediatric transplant centers and generating new research studies.
Optimizing medication adherence with home‐monitoring – A feasibility study using capillary microsampling and mHealth in solid organ‐transplanted adolescents
Authors: Kindem Ingvild Andrea , Åsberg Anders , Midtvedt Karsten , Bjerre Anna 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundReliable methods to detect and reduce medication nonadherence in solid organ‐transplanted (SOT) adolescents are warranted. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of combining a medication‐manager application (TusenTac®‐app) with home‐sampling of tacrolimus (Tac) in young SOT recipients.MethodsKidney and combined SOT recipients between 14 and 25 years were included. During an 8‐week intervention period, the participants were instructed to use the transplant‐specific, age‐adapted TusenTac®‐app daily and to perform weekly at‐home Tac trough finger‐prick microsampling. Microsample Tac concentrations were controlled against timed venous samples twice. Medication implementation and persistence adherence were measured with BAASIS© questionnaires, TusenTac®‐registrations, Tac trough concentration coefficient of variation (CV%) and self‐reporting by interview. For comparison, venous Tac trough CV% were obtained from the year before and after the short‐term intervention.ResultsTwenty‐two recipients were included, two withdrawals, leaving 20; median age 17.9 (14.5–24.8) years, 12 females (60%). The participants registered their dosage intake 88% (1502/1703) of the expected times, and 90% (106/118) of the microsamples were obtained correctly. At inclusion, 11 recipients (55%) were nonadherent assessed with BAASIS© questionnaire, four of these (36%) turned adherent during the intervention period. At the end, 70% reported improved timing‐adherence at the interview. There was no significant change in TacCV% from the year before to the year after the short‐term intervention. Home‐sampling was reliable and measured Tac concentrations accurately.ConclusionsHome‐monitoring, combining Tac finger‐prick microsampling and a medication‐manager app, is feasible in adolescent SOT recipients with 70% perceived improvement in medication timing‐adherence. There were no significant long‐term changes in TacCV% confirming the need for continuous use and individualized interventions.
Thermal evolution and stability analysis of phenomenologically emergent dark energy model
Authors: John Rosemin , Sarath N. , Mathew Titus K. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe phenomenologically emergent dark energy (PEDE) model is a varying dark energy model with no extra degrees of freedom proposed by Li and Shafieloo (Astrophys J 883(1):L3, 2019) to alleviate the Hubble tension. The statistical consistency of the model has been discussed by many authors. Since the model depicts a phantom dark energy that increases with redshift, its cosmic evolution, particularly during the late phase, must be examined. We discover that the model’s Hubble and deceleration parameters display unusual behaviour in the future, which differs from $$\varLambda $$
Λ
CDM cosmology. We find the model also follows a distinct evolution in the statefinder plane. The phantom nature of the model leads to the violation of the null energy condition and a decrease in horizon entropy. The asymptotic future epoch also seems to be unstable based on our dynamical system analysis as well as the stability analysis based on dark energy sound speed.
kn-out-of-n: F System with a Random Number of Components
Authors: Abada Lamia , Boushaba Mahmoud 
Published: August 2023

k-out-of-n systems are among the most important models in practical engineering, they have been extensively studied in the past decades. The system fails if and only if there exist at least k failed components. Generally these systems are considered with a fixed number of components. However, many systems have a variable number of components which can be considered a random variable. In the present paper, we studied the [Formula: see text]-out-of-[Formula: see text]: F system, we assume that the system has an unknown number of components, and we search for this number, assuming it is a random variable, by optimizing the system’s cost. This variable is supposed following a power series distribution such as geometric, Poisson and logarithmic distributions. This work discusses the case where [Formula: see text] for optimization problems. Optimal replacement policies, the optimal number of components and the optimal replacement time are determined to make maintenance and avoid failure, this will minimize the mean cost rates. We started with the case of constant number of components, where we give real and approximate values of the MTTF, optimal number of components and optimal replacement time, then, we considered variable number of components, where the results are compared to the constant case. Numerical examples are also given to illustrate our results.

Published: August 2023

This paper explores the quintessence reconstruction and statefinder perspective of Kaniadakis holographic dark energy model in a flat universe with future event horizon as an IR-cutoff. The cosmological parameters of this model were re-examined from the quintessence behavior aspect. Also we reconstruct, [Formula: see text], the potential of quintessence scalar field, which shows the best fit with joint analysis data of JLA+CC+BAO for the priors [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. In the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] phase space, the freezing-tracker model represents our canonical scalar field. This model exhibits quintessence behavior in the statefinder ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) plane for model parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] that are close to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The present values of deceleration [Formula: see text], statefinder [Formula: see text], jerk [Formula: see text] and model parameters [Formula: see text] are consistent with the limits of the observational data. Using the distance modulus [Formula: see text], we also fit 580 SN Type I Union2.1 data sets to our model.
Quantum heat machines enabled by twisted geometry
Authors: Filgueiras Cleverson , Rojas Moises , Silva Edilberto O. , Romero Carlos 
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we analyze the operation of an Otto cycle heat machine driven by a non-interacting two-dimensional electron gas on a twisted geometry. We show that due to both the energy quantization on this structure and the adiabatic transformation of the number of complete twists per unit length of a helicoid, the machine performance in terms of output work, efficiency, and operation mode can be altered. We consider the deformations as in a spring, which is either compressed or stretched from its resting position. The realization of classically inconceivable Otto machines, with an incompressible sample, can be realized as well. The energy-level spacing of the system is the quantity that is being either compressed or stretched. These features are due to the existence of an effective geometry-induced quantum potential which is of pure quantum-mechanical origin.

Published: August 2023

In this paper, we explore some emerging properties of the stellar objects in the frame of the [Formula: see text] gravity by employing the well-known Karmarkar condition, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represent the Ricci scalar and scalar potential, respectively. We demonstrate the embedded class-I technique by using the static spherically symmetric line element along with anisotropic fluid matter distribution. Furthermore, to achieve our goal, we take a specific expression of metric potential [Formula: see text], already presented in the literature, and proceed by using the Karmarkar condition to obtain the second metric potential. To get the value of unknown parameters of the compact structures, we compare the Krori–Barua spacetime with spherically symmetric spacetime. Moreover, we examine the physical attributes of compact objects by presuming three viable [Formula: see text] models. We analyze the graphical behavior of density and pressure, the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation, energy conditions, mass function, surface redshift, and adiabatic index. It is recognized that all the obtained results deliver emphatic evidence for the stability of our considered realistic stars.

Authors: Hoffmann-Ostenhof Th. , Laptev A. , Shcherbakov I. 
Published: August 2023

We obtain sharp Hardy inequalities on antisymmetric functions, where antisymmetry is understood for multi-dimensional particles. Partially it is an extension of the paper [Th. Hoffmann-Ostenhof and A. Laptev, Hardy inequalities with homogeneous weights, J. Funct. Anal. 268 (2015) 3278–3289], where Hardy’s inequalities were considered for the antisymmetric functions in the case of the 1D particles. As a byproduct we obtain some Sobolev and Gagliardo–Nirenberg type inequalities that are applied to the study of spectral properties of Schrödinger operators.
Blockchain-Based Framework for Supply Chain Traceability
Authors: Korkmaz Elif Bağnu , Erkayman Burak 
Published: August 2023

Alcohol counterfeiting, which negatively affects people’s lives in terms of economic, health, and social aspects, is one of the crucial problems that arise in many countries. For this reason, information should be made visible and traceable in all current flows of manufactured products from the raw material supplier to the retailer. In this study, a blockchain-based system architecture is proposed to ensure the traceability of raki (an anise-flavored Turkish drink), which is heavily counterfeited in Turkey. The information that adds value to the product is recorded in blocks in the blockchain, which is the building block of the system architecture, and this recorded information can be viewed by the relevant stakeholders. Product traceability is carried out with two smart contracts. With the Asset Registration Smart Contract (ARSC), assets are identified in the digital layer and the lot ID is assigned to the assets. The security of these smart contracts is ensured by storing recorded information in the blockchain, where it cannot be deleted or changed. Hyperledger Fabric, a blockchain platform, is used in the proposed architecture. In addition, QR codes integrated into the system act as a bridge between the physical and digital layers, directing consumers to the blockchain layer for traceability. Thus, the consumer will be able to see all the stages of the product that have transparently reached him and will be able to notice any counterfeiting event that may occur. In this context, it is foreseen that the proposed architecture will prevent raki counterfeiting as much as possible and provide transparency and traceability in all processes from raw material to bottle. This paper is arranged as follows. In Sec. 1 , the problem is defined, the solution for the problem is explained, information is given about the technologies proposed for the solution, and current studies on the subject are discussed. In Sec. 2 , the system architecture created for traceability is explained in detail. Section 3 describes the results.
Analysis of Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention among Indian Women in Computing Industry — An NVivo Approach
Authors: Khan Sameen , Tomar Sarika 
Published: August 2023

Background: Entrepreneurial intention (EI) is the determination of the behavior that leads to entrepreneurship. The research study is mainly concerned with the factors that influence EI of women. And also to comprehend the constraints and hurdles women face towards starting an entrepreneurial venture. Azjen’s theory of planned behavior is being employed to comprehend the EI of Indian Muslim women. The theory contains the personal attitude, perceived behavioral control (PBC) and subjective norms (SN). Furthermore, intentions are also discussed in the context of religion. Methods: A semi-structured interview schedule was carried out where a total of 7 Muslim women were interviewed in order to understand their intentions and motivations in starting a business. After gathering the data, the data were analyzed by NVivo software. This paper focused on the codes and themes generated by the software. The validity of the study was determined by content analysis, auto-coding and perusal of the themes by a subject matter expert. Findings: The findings portray the importance of the role of family and society in deciding an entrepreneurial venture by Muslim women. The investigative outcomes of the study depict the unawareness of government schemes, limited role models and lack of training. One important factor that was discovered was the fear and insecurity Muslim women have due to their visible Muslim identity. All these features have a paramount influence on the EI of Muslim women.

Published: August 2023

Background Several recent reports of CorPath GRX vascular robot (Cordinus Vascular Robotics, Natick, MA) use intracranially suggest feasibility of neuroendovascular application. Further use and development is likely. During this progression it is important to understand endovascular robot feasibility principles established in cardiac and peripheral vascular literature which enabled extension intracranially. Identification and discussion of robotic proof of concept principals from sister disciplines may help guide safe and accountable neuroendovascular application. Objective Summarize endovascular robotic feasibility principals established in cardiac and peripheral vascular literature relevant to neuroendovascular application Methods Searches of PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar were conducted under PRISMA guidelines 1 using MeSH search terms. Abstracts were uploaded to Covidence citation review (Covidence, Melbourne, AUS) using RIS format. Pertinent articles underwent full text review and findings are presented in narrative and tabular format. Results Search terms generated 1642 articles; 177, 265 and 1200 results for PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar respectively. With duplicates removed, title review identified 176 abstracts. 55 articles were included, 45 from primary review and 10 identified during literature review. As it pertained to endovascular robotic feasibility proof of concept 12 cardiac, 3 peripheral vascular and 5 neuroendovascular studies were identified. Conclusions Cardiac and peripheral vascular literature established endovascular robot feasibility and efficacy with equivalent to superior outcomes after short learning curves while reducing radiation exposure >95% for the primary operator. Limitations of cost, lack of haptic integration and coaxial system control continue, but as it stands neuroendovascular robotic implementation is worth continued investigation.
Medicalisation of vaping in the UK? E-cigarette users’ perspectives on the merging of commercial and medical routes to vaping
Authors: Ward E , Dawkins L , Holland R , Pope I , Notley C 
Published: August 2023

Background: In the UK, most smokers choosing e-cigarettes to quit smoking will access vaping via commercial routes. In recent years, however, a shift towards medicalisation of vaping has become apparent, with public health guidance supporting e-cigarettes for smoking cessation and increased partnership working between healthcare professionals and the vaping industry. To achieve the UK’s Smokefree 2030 target, the UK Government has set out measures to use e-cigarettes in National Health Service (NHS) settings and to move towards streamlining processes to make e-cigarettes available to a million smokers. This article aims to understand acceptability of different approaches by seeking perspectives of people with lived experience of e-cigarette use for smoking cessation. Methods: Mixed methods data collected between March 2018 and March 2019 as part of a broader study of e-cigarette use trajectories (ECtra study). Data here relate to the views of partnership working and medicalisation of vaping extracted from 136 interviews/extended surveys of people who had used e-cigarettes to try to stop smoking. Qualitative data were thematically analysed. Participant ratings of interventions were presented descriptively, and differences in participant characteristics and ratings were reported. Results: Three qualitative themes were identified: pro-partnership, anti-partnership and medicalisation dissonance. Medicalisation was discussed for its potential to reassure smokers about e-cigarette harms and its potential to reach smokers from disadvantaged backgrounds. Concerns were raised about cost-effectiveness, quality of support, conflicts of interest and limiting product choice. Most participants rated interventions involving partnership working as potentially helpful in switching from smoking to vaping. There were no statistically significant associations between age, gender and socioeconomic status, and helpfulness ratings. Conclusion: Both commercial and medical routes to vaping offer perceived benefits to vapers and may complement and reinforce each other to support smoking cessation.
