Authors: Cui Yuanbo , Kong Deren , Jiang Jian 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
To study the impact of explosion electromagnetic radiation on electronic equipment and to improve the anti-interference ability of electronic equipment in an explosion electromagnetic environment, it is necessary to understand the characteristics and laws of explosion electromagnetic radiation. An explosive electromagnetic measurement test is necessary to study this problem. In view of the measurement conditions of the explosive field and the interference factors in the process of a warhead explosion, protection and improvement measures have been proposed. It designs a repeater to compensate for excessive transmission loss of explosive electromagnetic signal. It enhances the anti-interference ability of the measurement system by adopting electromagnetic shielding methods for signal transmission cables. The closed aperture method was used to solve the field line coupling problem in the measurement system. By analyzing the law of seismic wave propagation, equivalent simulation test of instrument vibration and optimization of test point layout, which are conducted to deal with adverse effects such as explosive seismic wave and fragment strike. Finally, an electromagnetic radiation measurement method suitable for the environment of a high-capacity warhead explosive field has been formed.

Abstract
This paper describes the design and detailed analysis of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) capacitive pressure sensor consisting of nested folded beam suspensions and variously shaped diaphragms that can be used as a part of an LC tank implant circuit for biomedical pressure sensing applications, designed specifically for continuous intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring in glaucoma patients. The pressure sensor has been designed to measure pressures within the IOP sensor range of 0–8000 Pa. This paper aims to reduce the size of the sensor in comparison to previous research. Significant benefits of miniaturization include requiring less energy, being lightweight, being inexpensive, and having minimal impact on the objects being detected. The MEMS implantable pressure sensor for continuous monitoring of IOP would prevent the progression of the disease, and these tiny devices could alleviate patients’ suffering. Microbeams are likely the most widely utilized structural element in MEMS. This design adds nested folded beam suspensions to the diaphragm, which reduces the diaphragm’s residual tension and rigidity; as a result, the device’s dimension is smaller than the diaphragm without flexible beams (previous work). Due to the reduced rigidity, nested folded beam suspensions can also enhance sensitivity. Finally, the central deflection of the diaphragm will be determined under uniform external pressure. Using COMSOL/Multiphysics and SolidWorks, the design and simulation of pressure sensors have been accomplished. The outcomes reveal that the capacitive pressure sensor with nested folded beam suspensions and the rectangular diaphragm is better suited for measuring IOP, and its dimensions are also smaller than those of previous works (

Multi-pulse dynamic patterns in a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser based on an Sb2S3-PVA saturable absorber
Authors: Hu Qiongyu , Yang Kejian , Li Ming , Li Ping , Zhao Haoxu , Zhang Bin , Liu Jing , Yang Yongming , Chen Xiaohan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Multi-pulse dynamic patterns have been experimentally documented in a passively mode-locked (PML) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser using an Sb2S3-PVA saturable absorber (SA). The fundamental mode-locking operation, with a repetition rate of ∼3.22 MHz, a pulse width of ∼2.5 ps, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of ∼50 dB and a peak power over 200 W, was achieved under a pump power from 280 to 360 mW with appropriate polarization states introduced by the polarization controllers (PCs). By rotating the orientation of the intra-cavity PCs carefully and slowly at a pump power of 350 mW, it was found that a multi-pulse bunch was transformed gradually from a single-pulse to a twelve-pulse bunch, with several intermediate transition states of multi-pulse bunches being observed. In addition, other characteristic modes including disordered multi-pulses and soliton rains have been experimentally observed by meticulously adjusting the polarization states of PCs at a pump power of 350 mW. Our systematic study clearly demonstrates that Sb2S3 has potential as an effective SA for generating different operation states of multi-pulses in PML anomalous-dispersion EDF lasers.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Since decades, the PECVD (‘plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition’) processes have emerged as one of the most convenient and versatile approaches to synthesize either organic or inorganic thin films on many types of substrates, including complex shapes. As a consequence, PECVD is today utilized in many fields of application ranging from microelectronic circuit fabrication to optics/photonics, biotechnology, energy, smart textiles, and many others. Nevertheless, owing to the complexity of the process including numerous gas phase and surface reactions, the fabrication of tailor-made materials for a given application is still a major challenge in the field making it obvious that mastery of the technique can only be achieved through the fundamental understanding of the chemical and physical phenomena involved in the film formation. In this context, the aim of this foundation paper is to share with the readers our perception and understanding of the basic principles behind the formation of PECVD layers considering the co-existence of different reaction pathways that can be tailored by controlling the energy dissipated in the gas phase and/or at the growing surface. We demonstrate that the key parameters controlling the functional properties of the PECVD films are similar whether they are inorganic- or organic-like (plasma polymers) in nature, thus supporting a unified description of the PECVD process. Several concrete examples of the gas phase processes and the film behavior illustrate our vision. To complete the document, we also discuss the present and future trends in the development of the PECVD processes and provide examples of important industrial applications using this powerful and versatile technology.
The Stability Analysis of the Bored Pile Foundation as Liquefaction Hazard Mitigation at the University of Tadulako Reconstruction Project
Authors: Pasin H R , Ismanti S , Hardiyatmo H C 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
A Pile foundation is one of the most important structural elements. Pile foundations are used to support buildings when the hard soil layer is located very deep to keep the structure stable and standing when loaded by internal and external forces. The University of Tadulako is located in a moderate liquefaction-prone zone. In planning for rebuilding post-earthquake, where this area suffered massive damage, it was built on loose sandy soil with shallow groundwater levels. As a result, it has a possibility of liquefaction hazards in this area. This study aims to analyze the stability of the bored pile foundation as liquefaction hazard mitigation under service and extreme conditions. The analysis is carried out using two approaches, analytical method and computer-aided numerical simulation using RSPile and GEO5 2019. The type of foundation plan that will be used is the bored pile foundation with a diameter of 0.6 meters with a depth of 10 to 13 meters. The result shows the foundation remains stable under service conditions, but under extreme conditions, the foundation collapsed for type P1.B, and recommended redesign becomes type P1.A. However, after redesigning, the foundation becomes inefficient, and further research is needed on efficient foundation design.
Relationship Between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Rice Growth Phases in Danda Jaya Swamp Irrigation Area Regency Barito Kuala
Authors: Nafarin Naufal Adlie , Novitasari Novitasari 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
One of the factors that influence the success of rice productivity is rice growth, from land preparation to harvesting. With remote sensing technology, the phase of rice growth can be known more quickly. The purpose of this study was to analyze the NDVI value as a representation of vegetation density characteristics and analyze cluster data grouping based on the results of the identification of the rice growth phase using Sentinel-2 Imagery in the 2019 planting season cycle in Danda Jaya Swamp Irrigation Area. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method with the interpretation of Sentinel-2 Image. Image data were collected in the form of time series in 2019 and downloaded via the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Rice productivity was calculated using NDVI to identify plant vegetation density. Then calculate the statistical zone using a GIS application to get the average NDVI value per rice field plot. NDVI values were analyzed using the K-means Cluster method for class determination. These results support the hypothesis that the time series NDVI value in the sentinel-2 image with a high spatial resolution (10 m) computed from the Google Earth Engine produces a strong correlation with the rice growth phase. The next research development is to analyze the estimation model of rice productivity on Sentinel-2 Image by utilizing the relationship between rice productivity and NDVI.
The role of peatland degradation, protection and restoration for climate change mitigation in the SSP scenarios
Authors: Doelman J C , Verhagen W , Stehfest E , van Vuuren D P 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Peatlands only cover a small fraction of the global land surface (∼3%) but store large amounts of carbon (∼600 GtC). Drainage of peatlands for agriculture results in the decomposition of organic matter, leading to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As a result, degraded peatlands are currently responsible for 2%–3% of global anthropogenic emissions. Preventing further degradation of peatlands and restoration (i.e. rewetting) are therefore important for climate change mitigation. In this study, we show that land-use change in three SSP scenarios with optimistic, recent trends, and pessimistic assumptions leads to peatland degradation between 2020 and 2100 ranging from −7 to +10 Mha (−23% to +32%), and a continuation or even an increase in annual GHG emissions (−0.1 to +0.4 GtCO2-eq yr−1). In default mitigation scenarios without a specific focus on peatlands, peatland degradation is reduced due to synergies with forest protection and afforestation policies. However, this still leaves large amounts of GHG emissions from degraded peatlands unabated, causing cumulative CO2 emissions from 2020 to 2100 in an SSP2-1.5 °C scenario of 73 GtCO2. In a mitigation scenario with dedicated peatland restoration policy, GHG emissions from degraded peatlands can be reduced to nearly zero without major effects on projected land-use dynamics. This underlines the opportunity of peatland protection and restoration for climate change mitigation and the need to synergistically combine different land-based mitigation measures. Peatland location and extent estimates vary widely in the literature; a sensitivity analysis implementing various spatial estimates shows that especially in tropical regions degraded peatland area and peatland emissions are highly uncertain. The required protection and mitigation efforts are geographically unequally distributed, with large concentrations of peatlands in Russia, Europe, North America and Indonesia (33% of emission reductions are located in Indonesia). This indicates an important role for only a few countries that have the opportunity to protect and restore peatlands with global benefits for climate change mitigation.

Abstract

Background
Older people are often explicitly or implicitly excluded from research, in particular clinical trials. This means that study findings may not be applicable to them, or that older people may not be offered treatments due to an absence of evidence.

Aims
The aim of this work was to develop recommendations to guide all research relevant to older people.

Methods
A diverse stakeholder group identified barriers and solutions to including older people in research. In parallel, a rapid literature review of published papers was undertaken to identify existing papers on the inclusion of older people in research. The findings were synthesised and mapped onto a socio-ecological model. From the synthesis we identified themes that were developed into initial recommendations that were iteratively refined with the stakeholder group.

Results
A range of individual, interpersonal, organisational, community and policy factors impact on the inclusion of older people in research. A total of 14 recommendations were developed such as removing upper age limits and comorbidity exclusions, involving older people, advocates and health and social care professionals with expertise in ageing in designing the research, and considering flexible or alternative approaches to data collection to maximise opportunities for participation. We also developed four questions that may guide those developing, reviewing and funding research that is inclusive of older people.

Conclusion
Our recommendations provide up to date, practical advice on ways to improve the inclusion of older people in health and care research.
Computerized Cognitive Test Batteries for Children and Adolescents—A Scoping Review of Tools For Lab- and Web-Based Settings From 2000 to 2021
Authors: Tuerk Carola , Saha Trisha , Bouchard Maryse F , Booij Linda 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objective
Cognitive functioning is essential to well-being. Since cognitive difficulties are common in many disorders, their early identification is critical, notably during childhood and adolescence. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive literature overview of computerized cognitive test batteries (CCTB) that have been developed and used in children and adolescents over the past 22 years and to evaluate their psychometric properties.

Method
Among 3192 records identified from three databases (PubMed, PsycNET, and Web of Science) between 2000 and 2021, 564 peer-reviewed articles conducted in children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years met inclusion criteria. Twenty main CCTBs were identified and further reviewed following PRISMA guidelines. Relevant study details (sample information, topic, location, setting, norms, and psychometrics) were extracted, as well as administration and instrument characteristics for the main CCTBs.

Results
Findings suggest that CCTB use varies according to age, location, and topic, with eight tools accounting for 85% of studies, and the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) being most frequently used. Few instruments were applied in web-based settings or include social cognition tasks. Only 13% of studies reported psychometric properties.

Conclusions
Over the past two decades, a high number of computerized cognitive batteries have been developed. Among these, more validation studies are needed, particularly across diverse cultural contexts. This review offers a comprehensive synthesis of CCTBs to aid both researchers and clinicians to conduct cognitive assessments in children in either a lab- or web-based setting.
Optimization-based decoding of Imaging Spatial Transcriptomics data
Authors: Bryan John P , Binan Loïc , McCann Cai , Eldar Yonina C , Farhi Samouil L , Cleary Brian 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Motivation
Imaging Spatial Transcriptomics techniques characterize gene expression in cells in their native context by imaging barcoded probes for mRNA with single molecule resolution. However, the need to acquire many rounds of high-magnification imaging data limits the throughput and impact of existing methods.

Results
We describe the Joint Sparse method for Imaging Transcriptomics, an algorithm for decoding lower magnification Imaging Spatial Transcriptomics data than that used in standard experimental workflows. Joint Sparse method for Imaging Transcriptomics incorporates codebook knowledge and sparsity assumptions into an optimization problem, which is less reliant on well separated optical signals than current pipelines. Using experimental data obtained by performing Multiplexed Error-Robust Fluorescence in situ Hybridization on tissue from mouse brain, we demonstrate that Joint Sparse method for Imaging Transcriptomics enables improved throughput and recovery performance over standard decoding methods.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background
Volume replacement using chest wall perforator flaps (CWPFs) is a promising technique to reduce mastectomy rates without sacrificing function or aesthetics. Owing to limited availability of the technique, only a minority of patients currently have access to CWPF procedures.

Methods
An international web-based survey was disseminated through social media, dedicated webpages, and national and international societies for breast surgery. The survey explored surgeons’ attitudes towards CWPFs and their perceived training needs.

Results
Of 619 respondents, 88.4 per cent agreed that CWPF surgery was desirable, with one-third offering it and performing a median of 10 (i.q.r. 5–15) procedures annually. They were more likely to be senior (OR 1.35, 95 per cent c.i. 1.18 to 1.55; P &lt; 0.001), with formal oncoplastic training (OR 4.80, 3.09 to 7.48; P &lt; 0.001), and working in larger units (OR 1.18, 1.03 to 1.35; P = 0.018) with a free-flap (OR 1.62, 1.06 to 2.48; P = 0.025) or CWPF (OR 3.02, 1.87 to 4.89; P &lt; 0.001) service available. In cluster and latent class analysis, none showed high cohesion with performance of CWPF surgery.

Conclusion
There is a discrepancy between perceived importance and availability of CWPF surgery, indicating that optimal training is needed.
Early retinal deprivation crossmodally alters nascent subplate circuits and activity in the auditory cortex during the precritical period
Authors: Mukherjee Didhiti , Xue Binghan , Chen Chih-Ting , Chang Minzi , Kao Joseph P Y , Kanold Patrick O 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Sensory perturbation in one modality results in the adaptive reorganization of neural pathways within the spared modalities, a phenomenon known as “crossmodal plasticity,” which has been examined during or after the classic “critical period.” Because peripheral perturbations can alter the auditory cortex (ACX) activity and functional connectivity of the ACX subplate neurons (SPNs) even before the critical period, called the precritical period, we investigated if retinal deprivation at birth crossmodally alters the ACX activity and SPN circuits during the precritical period. We deprived newborn mice of visual inputs after birth by performing bilateral enucleation. We performed in vivo widefield imaging in the ACX of awake pups during the first two postnatal weeks to investigate cortical activity. We found that enucleation alters spontaneous and sound-evoked activities in the ACX in an age-dependent manner. Next, we performed whole-cell patch clamp recording combined with laser scanning photostimulation in ACX slices to investigate circuit changes in SPNs. We found that enucleation alters the intracortical inhibitory circuits impinging on SPNs, shifting the excitation-inhibition balance toward excitation and this shift persists after ear opening. Together, our results indicate that crossmodal functional changes exist in the developing sensory cortices at early ages before the onset of the classic critical period.

Abstract
Three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D TOE) has been rapidly developed in the last 15 years. Currently, 3D TOE is particularly useful as an additional imaging modality for the cardiac echocardiographers in the echo-lab, for cardiac interventionalists as a tool to guide complex catheter-based procedures cardiac, for surgeons to plan surgical strategies, and for cardiac anaesthesiologists and/or cardiologists, to assess intra-operative results. The authors of this document believe that acquiring 3D data set should become a ‘standard part’ of the TOE examination. This document provides (i) a basic understanding of the physic of 3D TOE technology which enables the echocardiographer to obtain new skills necessary to acquire, manipulate, and interpret 3D data sets, (ii) a description of valvular pathologies, and (iii) a description of non-valvular pathologies in which 3D TOE has shown to be a diagnostic tool particularly valuable. This document has a new format: instead of figures randomly positioned through the text, it has been organized in tables which include figures. We believe that this arrangement makes easier the lecture by clinical cardiologists and practising echocardiographers.
