Published: August 2023

Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been considered as the gold standard surgical treatment for cervical degenerative pathologies. Some surgeons tend to use larger-sized interbody cages during ACDF to restore the index intervertebral disc height, hence, this study evaluated the effect of larger-sized interbody cages on the cervical spine with ACDF under both static and cyclic loading.Method: Twenty pre-operative personalized poro-hyperelastic finite element (FE) models were developed. ACDF post-operative models were then constructed and four clinical scenarios (i.e., 1) No-distraction; 2) 1 mm distraction; 3) 2 mm distraction; and 4) 3 mm distraction) were predicted for each patient. The biomechanical responses at adjacent spinal levels were studied subject to static and cyclic loading. Non-parametric Friedman statistical comparative tests were performed and the p values less than 0.05 were reflected as significant.Results: The calculated intersegmental range of motion (ROM) and intradiscal pressure (IDP) from 20 pre-operative FE models were within the overall ranges compared to the available data from literature. Under static loading, greater ROM, IDP, facet joint force (FJF) values were detected post ACDF, as compared with pre-op. Over-distraction induced significantly higher IDP and FJF in both upper and lower adjacent levels in extension. Higher annulus fibrosus stress and strain values, and increased disc height and fluid loss at the adjacent levels were observed in ACDF group which significantly increased for over-distraction groups.Discussion: it was concluded that using larger-sized interbody cages (the height of ≥2 mm of the index disc height) can result in remarkable variations in biomechanical responses of adjacent levels, which may indicate as risk factor for adjacent segment disease. The results of this comprehensive FE investigation using personalized modeling technique highlight the importance of selecting the appropriate height of interbody cage in ACDF surgery.

A new type of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) acousto-optic Q-switched Er,Cr:YSGG laser with high peak power was designed and the thermal lensing effect compensation was studied. The values of thermal focal length in the gain medium were calculated theoretically and measured experimentally. The experimental results validate the designed plane-convex resonator validity, and the output performance of the 2.79 μm Er,Cr:YSGG laser was obviously improved. When the laser operated at free running region, the maximum values of pulse energy was 160 mJ at 60 Hz, compared with the plane-parallel resonator, the pulse energy was increased by 2 times in the plane-convex resonator. When the LiNbO3 Q-switched laser operated at 60 Hz, the maximum values of pulse energy was 8.5 mJ, and the minimum values of pulse duration was 60.8 ns, and the corresponding peak power approximately was 140 kW, respectively. Compared with the plane-parallel resonator, the pulse energy was increased by 1.6 times in the plane-convex resonator, the corresponding peak power was increased by 2.3 times.

IntroductionClonal integration of connected ramets within clones is an important ecological advantage. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the effects of clonal integration on performance of donor and recipient ramets when one resource is heterogeneous can be influenced by the availability of another resource of donor ramets.MethodsWe conducted a greenhouse experiment on the widespread, perennial herb Glechoma longituba. Clonal fragments consisting of pairs of connected ramets were grown for seven weeks. The younger, apical ramets were exposed under 30% or 100% light condition and the older, basal ramets were treated with three levels of nutrients. The connections between ramets were either severed or left intact. 30% light condition negatively affected the growth of apical ramets, basal ramets and the whole fragments. ResultsClonal integration significantly increased the growth of apical ramets, but decreased the growth of the basal ramets. Medium and high level nutrient availability of basal ramets significantly increased the growth of apical ramets, basal ramets and the whole fragments. At the high nutrient level, the reduction in growth of basal ramets from clonal integration was decreased, but the growth responses of apical ramets and the whole fragments to clonal integration were not influenced by nutrient availability. ConclusionThe results suggested that clonal integration was benefit to the growth of apical ramets of Glechoma longituba but at the cost of reducing the growth of basal ramets. Although the high nutrient level could reduce the cost that clonal integration brought to the unshaded basal ramets, but could not increase the benefit that clonal integration brought to the shaded apical ramets and whole fragment.

IntroductionLife skills can have a positive impact on young people’s mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being. Physical education (PE) is viewed as a promising setting for developing students’ life skills, but less is known about this in non-English speaking countries such as China. Based on the integration of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Achievement Goal Theory (AGT), we aimed to examine the relationships between students’ perceptions of the teacher-initiated motivational climate (mastery- or performance-oriented) and their life skills development in PE, as well as the mediating role of their basic psychological needs (BPNs) (satisfaction or frustration).MethodsWe employed a cross-sectional survey. Chinese students (N = 533, Age range = 13–18 years) completed measures assessing these variables. We fulfilled correlational and mediational analyses.ResultsThese findings showed that mastery climate was positively associated with needs satisfaction (r = 0.66) and eight life skills (r range = 0.44–0.61), whereas negatively associated with needs frustration (r = −0.49). Performance climate was positively related to needs frustration (r = 0.52), but negatively related to needs satisfaction (r = −0.38) and eight life skills (r range = −0.28 – −0.15). Needs satisfaction was positively (r range = 0.44–0.65), while needs frustration was negatively (r range = −0.50 – −0.34) linked with eight life skills. Furthermore, needs satisfaction positively mediated the effect of mastery climate on life skills development, but it is not found that needs frustration mediated the effect of performance climate on life skills besides goal setting, social skills, and time management.ConclusionIn conclusion, our study extended the previous literature on life skills in PE, and highlighted the roles of motivational climate and BPNs on students’ life skills development. In practice, PE teachers should be encouraged to create a mastery climate as well as avoid a performance climate, to foster students’ BPNs satisfaction, which in turn, promote their life skills development.

Analizamos el efecto de la violación de sabor en los decaimientos raros del quark top a un lazo a través del modelo Bestest Little Higgs (BLH), para lo cual, incluimos un nuevo término de mezcla. Calculamos los procesos t→q_i V y t→q_i h^0, donde q_i=u, c son quarks ligeros y V_i=Z, gamma, g, h^0, son bosones del Modelo Estándar (ME). Dichos procesos están mediados por los bosones pesados W'^(+-), H^(+-), phi^(+-) y el bottom pesado B del BLH. Encontramos que los branching ratios (Br) tienen mayor sensibilidad a sus pares en el ME a excepción del gluón. Nuestros mejores resultados son Br(t→c Z)~10^(-5), Br(t→c gamma)~10^(-6) y Br(t→c h^0)~10^(-8), lo que proporciona indicios de nueva física.

SHARP: Safety and Human Performance Analysis for Requirements in Perception
Authors: Mori Ken , Peters Steven 
Published: August 2023

<p> Despite the presence of many different benchmark datasets and metrics, there is a lack of consistent perception requirements. This work focuses on the task of 3D object detection which aims at perceiving location and attributes of dynamic objects in space. Most notably, there is a lack of consistent definitions of pass and fail criteria for any given perception metric. This work addresses this topic by systematically considering human performance across a variety of visual tasks. This approach yields interpretable perception metrics as well as thresholds for pass/fail criteria. A validation approach leveraging a prediction network is introduced and successfully applied to the criteria. Comparisons with existing detectors show that current perception algorithms exhibit failures for a majority of objects on the nuScenes dataset. This indicates the necessity of explicit safety consideration in the development of perception algorithms for the automated driving task. </p>

<p>This research introduces the Open Seizure Database and Toolkit as a novel, publicly accessible resource designed to advance non-electroencephalogram seizure detection research. This paper highlights the scarcity of resources in the non-electroencephalogram domain and establishes the Open Seizure Database as the first openly accessible database containing multimodal sensor data from 49 participants in real-world, in-home environments. The database is comprised of 494 events, encompassing 146 epileptic seizures, collected over a duration of 453 days, presenting the most extensive publicly available non-electroencephalogram seizure data to date. Additionally, the database has 348 labelled false alarms, including 302 common human movements and activities. The Open Seizure Toolkit is designed to facilitate machine and deep learning practices by streamlining data from the Open Seizure Database. Utilising these resources, researchers can rapidly develop and train seizure detection models before deploying them to the Open Seizure Detector Android application. Access to these resources is expected to foster collaborative efforts, ultimately contributing to the establishment of a non-electroencephalogram gold standard and advancing the field of seizure detection. </p>
