Towards an Ecological Architecture: On Energy and High-Density Dwelling
Authors: Kaska Sena 
Published: August 2023

<p>Rapid changes in climate and the increase in global population are putting great stress on cities and creating an important discourse on the relationship between energy, ecology, and high-density dwellings. Today’s notion of sustainable design and its incremental improvements to reducing energy use will be insufficient to accommodate the increasing future energy and dwelling demands, as well as to maintain the viability of urban human habitats. There is a great opportunity to maximize thermodynamic interdependencies and better connect processes of systems ecology to dwelling design. This thesis, therefore, critiques today’s notion of sustainability and urban housing practices and introduces the principles, processes, and interpretations of energy dynamics into dwelling design in order to culminate a new conceptualization of high-density dwellings that offer new spatial possibilities for prosperous human habitats. </p>
Open Architecture
Authors: Plummer Michael L. 
Published: August 2023

<p>There is a dynamic relationship between the built environment and those who dwell within it. Dwellers both influence, and are influenced by the everyday environment they inhabit. For architecture to make meaningful contributions to these environments, it must privilege the input and energy of the dweller. This calls for an architecture that is open to participation throughout its planning, design and building process; an open architecture. Conversely, closed architecture is focused on individual object-making. Pure form and aesthetics are prioritized over participation. Personal modification over time individualizes the sculptural vision of the artist-architect. Using emerging open-source and fabrication technology, open architecture establishes the natural relationship between dweller and dwelling. The dweller; and their unique needs and insights, is included within the architectural process. This results in a personalized dwelling that remains flexible, resilient and sustainable. </p>
Disobedient Architecture: Lessons from the Autonomous Zone
Authors: Terentii Cristina 
Published: August 2023

<p>Throughout the history of state-building, systems in power were translated into urban architecture. Public spaces and buildings were designed to maintain order and reinforce the socio-political narrative – architecture became a tool of support to the status quo. In response to the harmful practices, citizens show their collective dissatisfaction in various forms of disobedience, such as protest. The disobedient assemblage of bodies and objects within the urban fabric has the potential to challenge the status quo, and re-organize power structures ingrained in physical space.</p>
<p>During the summer of 2020, the protest demonstrations culminated in the creation of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (C.H.A.Z.) in Seattle. The architectural potential of disobedience will be revealed through the study of harmful narratives ingrained in physical space, as well as how C.H.A.Z. challenged them. The research culminates in the final project of the disobedient People Zone: temporality, adaptability, and locality expressed in built form, with intent to continuously support the civic voice. </p>

<p>Corrosion of reinforcing steel bars is the main factor affecting durability and service life of steel-reinforced bridge barriers in North America. The use of glass fiber reinforcing polymer (GFRP) bars as non-corrosive material has emerged as an innovative solution to corrosion related problems. A recent cost-effective design of PL-3 bridge barrier was developed at Ryerson University incorporating high-modulus GFRP bars with headed ends. An experimental program was conducted to investigate the load carrying capacity of the developed barrier wall. A 40-m long barrier was constructed and tested at four different locations to investigate its structural behavior, crack pattern and ultimate strength when subjected to the equivalent static loading simulating vehicle impact. Experimental results were compared with the design values specified in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. Experimental findings showed a large margin of safety for the proposed GFRP-reinforced barriers. The failure pattern due to transversal loading the longitudinal barrier over 2400 mm length was initiated by a trapezoidal flexural crack pattern at front face of the barrier, followed by punching shear failure at the transverse load location. Comparison between the available punching shear equations in the literature and the punching shear failure developed in the barrier wall was conducted.</p>
Design of a lightweight universal talus implant using topology optimization

Published: August 2023

Total talus replacement is a promising alternative treatment for talus fractures complicated by avascular necrosis and collapse. This surgical option replaces the human talus bone with a customized talus implant and can maintain ankle joint functionality compared to traditional treatment (e.g., ankle fusion). However, the customized implant is costly and time-consuming due to its customized nature. To circumvent these drawbacks, universal talus implants were proposed. While they showed clinically satisfactory results, existing talus implants are heavier than biological talus bones as they are solid inside. This can lead to unequal weight between the implant and biological talus bone, and therefore leading to other complications. The reduction of the implants’ weight without compromising its performance and congruency with surrounding bones is a potential solution. Therefore, this study aims to design a lightweight universal talus implant using topology optimization. This is done through establishing the loading and boundary conditions for three common foot postures: neutral, dorsi- and plantar-flexion. The optimized implant performance in terms of mass, contact characteristics with surrounding joint cartilage and stress distributions is studied using a 3D Finite Element (FE) model of the ankle joint. The mass of the optimized implant is reduced by approximately 66.6% and its maximum stresses do not exceed 70 MPa, resulting in a safety factor of 15.7. Moreover, the optimized and solid implants show similar contact characteristics. Both implants produced peak contact pressures that were approximately 19.0%–196% higher than those produced by the biological talus. While further mechanical testing under in-vivo loading conditions is required to determine clinical feasibility, preliminarily, the use of a lightweight universal implant is expected to provide the patient with a more natural feel, and a reduced waiting period until surgery.

Background: Current reconstruction methods of the pelvic ring after extensive resection of tumors involving the sacroiliac joint have a high incidence of failure. We aimed to study the effect of 3D-printed patient-specific implant reconstruction to show that this method is stable and has a low risk of failure.Methods: Between February 2017 and November 2021, six patients with bone tumors involving the sacroiliac joint (Enneking I + IV) who received 3D-printed patient-specific implants for pelvic reconstructive surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Two female and four male patients with a mean age of 41.83 years (range 25–65 years) were included. Two were osteosarcomas, two chondrosarcomas, one malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and one giant cell tumor of bone. For each patient, preoperative osteotomy guides were designed to ensure accurate tumor resection and individualized prostheses were designed to ensure a perfect fit of the bone defect. General, oncologic, and functional outcomes, implant status, and complications were retrospectively analyzed. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was used to assess hip function. Osseointegration was assessed by CT.Results: According to the preoperative design, complete resection of the entire tumor and reconstruction with a custom 3D-printed sacroiliac joint implant was completed without perioperative severe complications or deaths. Relatively satisfactory surgical margins were achieved. The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 495 min (420–600 min) and 2533.33 mL (range, 1,200–3,500 mL), respectively. The mean follow-up was 49.83 months (range, 18–75 months). At the last follow-up, all four patients were disease-free, and the two patients who developed lung metastases were alive with tumors. All patients could walk unassisted. The mean VAS was 1.33 (range, 0–2). The mean MSTS score was 25.33 (range, 24–27). CT showed complete osseointegration of the implant to the ilium and sacrum.Conclusion: The 3D-printed custom prosthesis can effectively reconstruct pelvic stability after total sacroiliac joint resection with satisfactory clinical results.

ObjectivePost-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is the most common long-term complication in patients with deep venous thrombosis, and the prevention of PTS remains a major challenge in clinical practice. Some studies have explored early predictors and constructed corresponding prediction models, whereas their specific application and predictive value are controversial. Therefore, we conducted this systematic evaluation and meta-analysis to investigate the incidence of PTS and the feasibility of early prediction.MethodsWe systematically searched databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science up to April 7, 2023. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the included articles, and the OR values of the predictors in multi-factor logistic regression were pooled to assess whether they could be used as effective independent predictors.ResultsWe systematically included 20 articles involving 8,512 subjects, with a predominant onset of PTS between 6 and 72 months, with a 2-year incidence of 37.5% (95% CI: 27.8–47.7%). The results for the early predictors were as follows: old age OR = 1.840 (95% CI: 1.410–2.402), obesity or overweight OR = 1.721 (95% CI: 1.245–2.378), proximal deep vein thrombosis OR = 2.335 (95% CI: 1.855–2.938), history of venous thromboembolism OR = 3.593 (95% CI: 1.738–7.240), history of smoking OR = 2.051 (95% CI: 1.305–3.224), varicose veins OR = 2.405 (95% CI: 1.344–4.304), and baseline Villalta score OR = 1.095(95% CI: 1.056–1.135). Meanwhile, gender, unprovoked DVT and insufficient anticoagulation were not independent predictors. Seven studies constructed risk prediction models. In the training set, the c-index of the prediction models was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.74–0.80) with a sensitivity of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.68–0.81) and specificity of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.60–0.77). In the validation set, the c-index, sensitivity and specificity of the prediction models were 0.74(95% CI: 0.69–0.79), 0.71(95% CI: 0.64–0.78) and 0.72(95% CI: 0.67–0.76), respectively.ConclusionsWith a high incidence after venous thrombosis, PTS is a complication that cannot be ignored in patients with venous thrombosis. Risk prediction scoring based on early model construction is a feasible option, which helps to identify the patient's condition and develop an individualized prevention program to reduce the risk of PTS.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionFrance has seen two key protests within the term of President Emmanuel Macron: one in 2020 against Islamophobia, and another in 2023 against the pension reform. During these protests, there is much chatter on online social media platforms like Twitter.MethodsIn this study, we aim to analyze the differences between the online chatter of the 2 years through a network-centric view, and in particular the synchrony of users. This study begins by identifying groups of accounts that work together through two methods: temporal synchronicity and narrative similarity. We also apply a bot detection algorithm to identify bots within these networks and analyze the extent of inorganic synchronization within the discourse of these events.ResultsOverall, our findings suggest that the synchrony of users in 2020 on Twitter is much higher than that of 2023, and there are more bot activity in 2020 compared to 2023.

Introduction: The shear strength deterioration of red-bed rockfill under the dry-wet cycle is the key factor affecting the slope stability of accumulation body. Studying the strength deterioration law and deterioration mechanism of red-bed rockfill can provide theoretical support for slope stability control.Methods: Through the disintegration resistance test of argillaceous siltstone rockfill in Lanping lead-zinc Mine, the disintegration characteristics of red-bed soft rock were studied. The effects of the number of dry-wet cycles on the cohesion, internal friction angle, shear dilation rate and shear modulus of the red-bed rockfill were investigated by using a dry-wet cycle shear tester to conduct shear tests on the reduced scale graded soil material, and the strength deterioration mechanism of the soils was revealed from the perspective of meso-structure.Results: The results showed that argillaceous siltstone was rich in clay minerals and produces strong disintegration when exposed to water. The disintegration process could be divided into three stages: massive disintegration stage, transitional stage and stabilization stage. With the accumulation of dry-wet cycles, the shear dilation rate and shear modulus of the argillaceous siltstone rockfill gradually decrease, and the shear failure developed gradually from strain hardening to shear plastic flow, and the characteristic of weak stress softening occurred. After eight dry-wet cycles, the cohesion and internal friction angle of argillaceous siltstone rockfill materials decreased by 89.87% and 18.94%, respectively, indicating a higher effect on the cohesion than on the internal friction angle.Discussion: The thickening of the bound water between the fine particles on the shear surface, the weakening of the coarse particle attachment, and the increase in the number of directionally arranged fine particles were the main reasons for the continuous deterioration of the soil strength.

Shale gas is a very important unconventional energy. The mechanical properties of the three types of shale (laminated shale, sandwich shale and foliated shale) are different, and the difference in fracturing effectiveness is very significant. In this paper, the mineral composition, mechanical properties and conductivity of these three different types of shale were studied and compared by X-ray diffraction, triaxial mechanical experiments, and fracture conduction experiments. The study found that the foliated shale has the lowest content of rigid minerals (47.5%), lower elastic modulus and tensile strength (26.98 Gpa and 168.29 MPa, respectively), higher Poisson’s ratio (0.25), the smallest brittleness index (0.48), and larger fracture toughness (0.42). The laminated shale has a higher content of rigid minerals (68.50%), the lowest elastic modulus and tensile strength (25.77 Gpa and 122.46 MPa, respectively), the highest Poisson’s ratio (0.26), the highest brittleness index (0.56), and the lowest fracture toughness (0.18). The sandwich shale has the highest rigid mineral content (78.16%), the highest elastic modulus and tensile strength (35.31 Gpa and 197.37 MPa, respectively), the lowest Poisson’s ratio (0.24), a larger brittleness index (0.52), and larger fracture toughness (0.415). Furthermore, with the increase in the coring angle, the elastic modulus of all three shales increases. In addition, with the increase in closing pressure and the decrease in the sand laying concentration, the proppant embedding depth gradually increases and the conductivity decreases. This means that from the perspective of forming complex fracture networks, the fracturing effect of the foliated shale is unsatisfactory, while the fracturing effect of the laminated and sandwich shales is better. Moreover, it is recommended to prefer directional injection along vertical laminae or at high angles, which is conducive to the formation of complex fracture networks. For laminated shale with low strength, the sand laying concentration should be increased to ensure the conductivity of the fractured fracture. This study provides some technical guidance for the identification of different types of shale fracturing desserts and fracturing processes.

BackgroundMetS is associated with greater morbidity and mortality in relation to a number of malignancies, but its association with ovarian cancer remains contested. The present study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies examining the association between MetS and ovarian cancer risk.MethodsThe study was registered on the PROSPERO platform in January 2023 (CRD42023391830). Up until February 13, 2023, a complete search was undertaken in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials. On the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible studies for meta-analysis were screened to determine the association between MetS and ovarian cancer risk.ResultsFive studies were included in total, including three cohort studies and two case-control studies. Meta-analysis showed no significant correlation between metabolic syndrome and ovarian cancer (OR=1.29, 95% CI: 0.90-1.84). Significant heterogeneity (I2 = 92.6, P&lt;0.05) existed between the included studies. We performed a subgroup analysis of the risk of bias and showed that only unadjusted stratification of risk of bias for smoking (OR= 3.19, 95% CI: 2.14-4.76) and hysterectomy (OR= 3.19, 95% CI: 2.14-4.76) demonstrated a relationship between metabolic syndrome and ovarian cancer risk. The meta-regression analysis revealed that smoking and hysterectomy excision were substantially linked with heterogeneity (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionOur research revealed no statistically significant association between MetS and ovarian cancer risk. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome has highlighted the need of enhancing and controlling women’s metabolic health. However, the evaluation of metabolic syndrome as a cancer risk factor may be deceptive and etiologically uninformative.

BackgroundLiver metastasis (LM) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in CRC patients, whereas the associated mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, it is urgently needed to deeply explore novel metastasis accelerators and therapeutic targets of LM-CRC.MethodsThe bulk RNA sequencing data and clinicopathological information of CRC patients were enrolled from the TCGA and GEO databases. The single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets of CRC were collected from and analyzed in the Tumor Immune Single-cell Hub (TISCH) database. The infiltration levels of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and macrophages in CRC tissues were estimated by multiple immune deconvolution algorithms. The prognostic values of genes were identified by the Kaplan-Meier curve with a log-rank test. GSEA analysis was carried out to annotate the significantly enriched gene sets. The biological functions of cells were experimentally verified.ResultsIn the present study, hundreds of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected in LM-CRC compared to primary CRC, and these DEGs were significantly associated with the regulation of endopeptidase activity, blood coagulation, and metabolic processes. Then, SPP1, CAV1, ANGPTL2, and COLEC11 were identified as the characteristic DEGs of LM-CRC, and higher expression levels of SPP1 and ANGPTL2 were significantly associated with worse clinical outcomes of CRC patients. In addition, ANGPTL2 and SPP1 mainly distributed in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of CRC tissues. Subsequent scRNA-seq analysis demonstrated that ANGPTL2 and SPP1 were markedly enriched in the CAFs and macrophages of CRC tissues, respectively. Moreover, we identified the significantly enriched gene sets in LM-CRC, especially those in the SPP1+macrophages and ANGPTL2+CAFs, such as the HALLMARK_EPITHELIAL_MESENCHYMAL_TRANSITION and the HALLMARK_COMPLEMENT. Finally, our in vitro experiments proved that ANGPTL2+CAFs and SPP1+macrophages promote the metastasis of CRC cells.ConclusionOur study selected four characteristic genes of LM-CRC and identified ANGPTL2+CAFs and SPP1+macrophages subtypes as metastasis accelerators of CRC which provided a potential therapeutic target for LM-CRC.
