Routing Prediction Strategy for UAV Swarm Network Using Pigeon-Inspired Optimization-Based Neural Network
Authors: Li Yong , Zheng Mohong 
Published: March 2023

AbstractA routing prediction strategy via a pigeon-inspired optimization (PIO)-based neural network (NN) is designed for UAV swarm networks with highly dynamic topology. The proposed strategy can predict the performance of the neighboring nodes as the next hop. For more precise prediction and less computational complexity, the states of the UAV swarm motion and the network are considered as the prior information, and the PIO-based NN framework is established. Based on the system model, PIO is applied to find the optimal weight matrices of the NN-based routing prediction model. The matrix of the hop count index function is calculated using this prediction model. The proposed strategy can directly determine the next hop based on the prediction results or can be combined with other routing methods to maintain a balance between the stability and the shortest path. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Published: March 2023

AbstractTo contribute to the reduction of methane emissions, using low-cost biochar as adsorbents for capturing and storing methane in oil and gas fields is investigated. This work presents results of methane adsorption on four biochars made from forestry wastes in comparison with the results of three commercial activated carbons. Although the adsorption capacity of the biochars is lower by over 50% than that of the activated carbons, thelow-cost and potential environmental benefits provide the incentive to the investigation. Moreover, it is shown that biochar can store more methane than vessels of compressed gas up to the pressure of 75 bar, suggesting the possibility of avoiding high-pressure gas compression and heavy vessels for cost savings in oil and gas fields. The thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors of the adsorption are studied and implications for the targeted application are discussed.

DigitalExposome: quantifying impact of urban environment on wellbeing using sensor fusion and deep learning
Authors: Johnson Thomas , Kanjo Eiman , Woodward Kieran 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe increasing level of air pollutants (e.g. particulates, noise and gases) within the atmosphere are impacting mental wellbeing. In this paper, we define the term ‘DigitalExposome’ as a conceptual framework that takes us closer towards understanding the relationship between environment, personal characteristics, behaviour and wellbeing using multimodal mobile sensing technology. Specifically, we simultaneously collected (for the first time) multi-sensor data including urban environmental factors (e.g. air pollution including: Particulate Matter (PM1), (PM2.5), (PM10), Oxidised, Reduced, Ammonia (NH3) and Noise, People Count in the vicinity), body reaction (physiological reactions including: EDA, HR, HRV, Body Temperature, BVP and movement) and individuals’ perceived responses (e.g. self-reported valence) in urban settings. Our users followed a pre-specified urban path and collected the data using a comprehensive sensing edge device. The data is instantly fused, time-stamped and geo-tagged at the point of collection. A range of multivariate statistical analysis techniques have been applied including Principle Component Analysis, Regression and Spatial Visualisations to unravel the relationship between the variables. Results showed that Electrodermal Activity (EDA) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) are noticeably impacted by the level of Particulate Matter in the environment. Furthermore, we adopted Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify self-reported wellbeing from the multimodal dataset which achieved an f1-score of 0.76.

Abstract
Background
Autism has been linked to higher rates of self-harm. Research is yet to establish the reason for the association between autism and self-harm as a distress response.

Methods
Using the ‘thinking patterns profiling model’, this study explored characteristics associated with self-harm risk in 100 autistic young people. Secondary analysis of routinely collected clinical data was conducted using odds ratios and t-tests.

Results
We found the prevalence of reported self-harm risk was 48%. Young people with reported self-harm risks had significantly lower regulation skills (p ≤ 0.01) and lower social flexibility skills (p ≤ 0.01) compared to those without reported self-harm risk. For those described as impulsive, mean scores on the following skills were significantly lower: perspective-taking skills (p ≤ 0.01), flexible thinking for creative problem-solving (p ≤ 0.05) and sensory tolerating (p ≤ 0.05). There was no relationship between reported self-harm risk and adverse childhood experiences.

Conclusions
These findings suggest that profiling tools such as ‘Thinking Patterns Profiling Model’ can be used to explore unique patterns of vulnerability and resilience related to self-harm risk in autism. The findings suggest that autistic thinking patterns might interplay with other factors (e.g. impulsivity). Patterns are based on each person’s profile across four core skill-sets: regulation, flexible thinking, sensory coherence, and social perspective-taking. These findings motivate a person-centred and profile-informed approach to planning support and adjustments. Further studies are needed to confirm the ways in which mechanisms typically involved in self-harm risk, may interact with core cognitive and affective differences found in autism.
Hemodynamic Management During Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock: A Review
Authors: Yin Chengfen , Xu Lei 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) for cardiorespiratory support is increasing. However, few criteria for hemodynamic management have been described yet in V-A ECMO patients.MethodWe performed a review of hemodynamic management during V-A ECMO in CS patient based the literature published. We discuss how to optimize hemodynamic management.ResultsPatients on V-A ECMO require special hemodynamic management. It is crucial to maintain an adequate tissue oxygen supply and demand balance. Hemodynamic optimization is essential to support LV decompression and improve end-organ function and should be initiated immediately after initiating V-A ECMO support, during which more positive fluid balance is associated with worse outcomes.ConclusionThe hemodynamic management of CS patients with V-A ECMO are complex and involves various aspect. Clinicians who care for patients on VA ECMO should combined use many availability indicators to guide hemodynamic management.
Loss of control in flight accident case study: icing-related tailplane stall
Authors: Bromfield M.A. , Horri N. , Halvorsen K. , Lande K. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn January 2017, a business jet flew in Norway on a short repositioning flight with two pilots onboard, no passengers or cargo. Initially, the take-off proceeded as normal but as the landing gear was retracted both pilots observed that the airspeed was rapidly approaching the flap limiting speed of 200kts. When the flaps were fully retracted at a height of approximately 2,100ft above ground level, the crew experienced a violent nose-down pitch motion. Control was regained at a height of approximately 170ft above ground level and, following the accident, data from the flight data recorder showed that the aircraft experienced –2.62G during the pitch upset. A tailplane stall due to icing was suspected; however, the flight data recorder, being limited to 36 parameters, was not able to confirm this. For expediency during the accident investigation process, a simplified, linear flight dynamics model was developed using Matlab/Simulink to assess static and dynamic stability for a range of tailplane efficiency factors to simulate the effects of tailplane icing.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The impact of hurricane-related flooding on infectious diseases in the US is not well understood. Using geocoded electronic health records for 62,762 veterans living in North Carolina counties impacted by Hurricane Matthew coupled with flood maps, we explore the impact of hurricane and flood exposure on infectious outcomes in outpatient settings and emergency departments as well as antimicrobial prescribing. Declines in outpatient visits and antimicrobial prescribing are observed in weeks 0-2 following the hurricane as compared with the baseline period and the year prior, while increases in antimicrobial prescribing are observed 3+ weeks following the hurricane. Taken together, hurricane and flood exposure appear to have had minor impacts on infectious outcomes in North Carolina veterans, not resulting in large increases in infections or antimicrobial prescribing
Contrasting geological background based on the geochemistry of the mafic metamorphic rocks in central Dronning Maud Land

Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper reports geochemical characteristics of mafic gneisses and granulites collected from four localities in central Dronning Maud Land to evaluate the tectonic setting of their precursor rocks. Precursor rocks for the mafic gneisses and granulites in central Dronning Maud Land were formed in different geological backgrounds and tectonic settings. The mafic gneisses and granulites in the Schirmacher Hills were derived from basaltic rocks in a back-arc setting. Published U–Pb zircon ages and the geochemical variation of the basement rocks indicate their emplacement between 800 and 650 Ma, close to peak metamorphism. While similar protoliths were recognized in the inland nunataks of Hochlinfjellet, in Filchnerfjella the mafic gneisses/granulites were derived from basaltic rocks formed in marginal continental arcs or island arcs. Highly disturbed trace-element patterns indicate that the metamorphic process influenced the geochemical composition during the prograde metamorphic stage. Our results imply that the outcrops in central Dronning Maud Land with different metamorphic ages contain mafic gneisses/granulites from precursor rocks formed under different tectonic settings.
Pangolin seizures in Nepal indicate priority areas for conservation interventions

Published: March 2023

AbstractTwo species of pangolins occur in Nepal: the Chinese pangolin Manis pentadactyla and the Indian pangolin Manis crassicaudata. They are categorized as Critically Endangered and Endangered, respectively, on the IUCN Red List, and are protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1973 in Nepal. Although both this national law and CITES prohibit pangolin hunting and trade, such trade still occurs. To better understand the patterns of pangolin hunting and trade in Nepal, we analysed data on pangolin seizures gathered from official records, grey literature and verified public media reports dating from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2020. A total of 122 pangolin seizures were reported in 27 districts, mostly in the central mid-hills. Seizure cases included 23 live pangolins, 18 whole-body skins with scales and 1,046.7 kg of scales. We estimate a minimum of 1,500 individuals were hunted locally over the 11-year study period. Analysis of the trade network identified the capital city, Kathmandu, as the main pangolin trade hub, with scales being the most commonly seized item. The illegal trade occurred mostly in two regions: central and eastern Nepal, and areas bordering China. The pangolins were hunted mainly from core habitats within rural areas, then transported to the city for trade. These data support the future development of effective law enforcement and policy interventions for this region, to stop the illegal pangolin trade. Greater understanding of the patterns of the local pangolin trade and the identification of hotspot areas and peak hunting seasons will allow us to prioritize areas for future conservation interventions.
The characteristic damage of analytic theology: a response to William Wood
Authors: Yadav Sameer 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn Analytic Theology and the Academic Study of Religion William Wood argues that the discipline of analytic theology (AT) can make a distinctively valuable contribution to the mainstream academic study of religion. He deftly navigates the intellectual public relations work required to secure mutual appreciation across these domains of scholarly discourse. In evaluating the characteristic goods of AT, Wood also seeks to recognize and address what Laruen Winner calls ‘characteristic damage’ or deformation in the practice of AT, which he identifies with its apparent inadequacies in addressing ‘history, mystery, and practice’ in the study of religion and theology. I argue that Wood's diagnosis fails to recognize how AT's characteristic damage emerges from its monomaniacal fixation on the epistemic value of theological theorizing to the exclusion of disciplined attention to other kinds of value. While at one point he engages a previously published version of this critique (as an explanation for AT's neglect of liberation theology), he mischaracterizes my argument in that paper in ways that lead him to miss its relevance to the objections from history, mystery, and practice. These objections can be met, I suggest, but only by significant reform to AT as currently practised.
Spring-balanced 3-DoF serial planar manipulators for constant forces in arbitrary directions
Authors: Juang Chia-Wei , Jhuang Chi-Shiun , Chen Dar-Zen 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWith the use of springs, a method to balance the constant forces in arbitrary directions on a planar serial manipulator is developed in this study. Gravity balancing has been discussed a lot in the past. However, manipulators usually bear forces from various directions rather than only a fixed one as gravity. For instance, an industrial manipulator would bear forces from everywhere during the working process. Therefore, a method to balance these forces in arbitrary directions with springs is proposed. Based on the representation of energy, spring energy is the function of springs’ attachment points. Two spring systems with different attachment angles are needed to balance respectively forces in arbitrary directions and gravity. The spring installations of the above systems on 3-DoF manipulators are proposed. Finally, a resistive force-balanced manipulator with/without gravity balance in the grinding process is shown. In sum, this paper for the first time develops the balancing method for forces in arbitrary directions, expanding the spring balance theory to a broader application.
All that glitters is not gold: a stereological study of human donor oocytes

SummaryHere we report a quantitative analysis of human metaphase II (MII) oocytes from a 22-year-old oocyte donor, retrieved after ovarian-controlled hyperstimulation. Five surplus donor oocytes were processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and a stereological analysis was used to quantify the distribution of organelles, using the point-counting technique with an adequate stereological grid. Comparisons between means of the relative volumes (Vv) occupied by organelles in the three oocyte regions, cortex (C), subcortex (SC) and inner cytoplasm (IC), followed the Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–WhitneyU-test with Bonferroni correction. Life cell imaging and TEM analysis confirmed donor oocyte nuclear maturity. Results showed that the most abundant organelles were smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) elements (26.8%) and mitochondria (5.49%). Significant differences between oocyte regions were found for lysosomes (P= 0.003), cortical vesicles (P= 0.002) and large SER vesicles (P= 0.009). These results were quantitatively compared with previous results using prophase I (GV) and metaphase I (MI) immature oocytes. In donor MII oocytes there was a normal presence of cortical vesicles, SER tubules, SER small, medium and large vesicles, lysosomes and mitochondria. However, donor MII oocytes displayed signs of cytoplasmic immaturity, namely the presence of dictyosomes, present in GV oocytes and rare in MI oocytes, of SER very large vesicles, characteristic of GV oocytes, and the rarity of SER tubular aggregates. Results therefore indicate that the criterion of nuclear maturity used for donor oocyte selection does not always correspond to cytoplasmic maturity, which can partially explain implantation failures with the use of donor oocytes.
Geographical indications as global knowledge commons: Ostrom's law on common intellectual property and collective action
Authors: Mazé Armelle 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this article, we reconceptualize, using an extended discrete and dynamic Ostrom's classification, the specific intellectual property (IP) regimes that support geographical indications (GIs) as ‘knowledge commons’, e.g. a set of shared collective knowledge resources constituting a complex ecosystem created and shared by a group of people that has remained subject to social dilemma. Geographical names are usually considered part of the public domain. However, under certain circumstances, geographical names have also been appropriated through trademark registration. Our analysis suggests that IP laws that support GIs first emerged in Europe and spread worldwide as a response to the threat of undue usurpation or private confiscation through trademark registration. We thus emphasize the nature of the tradeoffs faced when shifting GIs from the public domain to shared common property regimes, as defined by the EU legislation pertaining to GIs. In the context of trade globalization, we also compare the pros and cons of regulating GIsex-anterather than engaging inex-posttrademark litigation in the courts.
The effect of corruption control on efficiency spillovers
Authors: Kutlu Levent , Mao Xi 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe examine the effect of corruption control on efficiency and its implications for efficiency spillovers by a stochastic frontier model. Our dataset covers 102 countries from 1996 to 2014. We find a positive relationship between corruption control and efficiency. If neighboring countries have difficulty in handling corruption, the country would be negatively affected by its neighbors' corruption through efficiency spillovers. We then compare the efficiency differences across countries for three time periods: 1996–2002, 2002–2008, and 2008–2014. On average, technical efficiencies slightly increased in the second period compared to the first period. In the third period, the efficiencies declined, particularly in China.
Culturally adapted CBT – the evolution of psychotherapy adaptation frameworks and evidence
Authors: Naeem Farooq , Sajid Sana , Naz Saiqa , Phiri Peter 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Culture plays a significant role in psychotherapy practice, with cultural adaptations being implemented more commonly as globalisation and cultural awareness increase. An abundance of systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials exploring culturally adapted interventions have been published across the globe. In this paper, we present the historical background to cultural adaptation by summarising and evaluating previous frameworks, as well as reviewing current evidence for such adaptations and highlighting routes for further research. Around twenty cultural adaptation frameworks have been published, covering various population demographics and intervention types, providing general guidelines for the implementation of cultural adaptations to psychosocial interventions. Nearly all the frameworks used previous literature and research to develop models on culturally adapted interventions. Some even implemented stakeholder discussions, randomised control trials, and even pilot studies. A variety of cultural adaptation factors have been outlined and discussed; however, there is no agreement on which elements work and which do not. Existing evidence indicates that culturally adapted interventions are effective, regardless of intervention type or population. While cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) was the most common intervention in trials, there are, at present, no high-quality comprehensive meta-analyses or systematic reviews on culturally adapted CBT which include all literature on this topic. This is needed in order to provide a holistic and detailed comprehension of where current understanding lies. We conclude our paper with recommendations for researchers, trainers and commissioners.

Published: March 2023

AbstractEnhanced reservoir evaporation has become an emerging concern regarding water loss, especially when compounded with the ever‐increasing water demand. In this study, we evaluated the evaporation rates and losses for 678 major reservoirs (representing nearly 90% of total storage capacity) in the Contiguous United States over historical baseline (1980–2019), near‐term (2020–2039), and mid‐term (2040–2059) future periods. The evaporation rate was estimated using the Lake Evaporation Model (LEM), an advanced lake evaporation model that addresses both heat storage and fetch effects, driven by multi‐ensemble downscaled Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects 6 (CMIP6) projections under the SSP585 emission scenario. The results project that the evaporation loss may increase by 2.5 × 107 m3/yr through the research period (1980–2059). Among all regions, the Rio Grande is projected to have the largest increasing rate in the near‐term and mid‐term future, with values of 7.11% of 10.25%, respectively. At the seasonal scale, the most significant increase in the evaporation rate is projected during the fall. The evaporation is projected to increase faster than the streamflow over many of the regions in the southwestern US during the summer/fall, suggesting that the shortage of water will be further exacerbated. The climate models contribute the most to the variance, as compared to the other components related to the projection of evaporation losses (e.g., hydrological model, downscaling method, and historical meteorological data set). These findings demonstrate the need to consider accelerated water loss through open water evaporation in long‐term water resources planning across various spatiotemporal scales.
