Development of analytical and FEM solutions for static and dynamic analysis of smart piezoelectric laminated composite plates on elastic foundation
Authors: Chanda Aniket Gopa , Kontoni Denise-Penelope N. , Sahoo Rosalin 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper proposes new analytical and finite element solutions for studying the effects of elastic foundations on the uncontrolled and controlled static and vibration responses of smart multi-layered laminated composite plates with integrated piezoelectric layers, acting as actuators and sensors. A non-polynomial higher-order plate theory with zigzag kinematics involving a trigonometric function and a local segmented zigzag function is adopted for the first time for modeling the deformation of a smart piezoelectric laminated composite plate supported on an elastic foundation. This model has only five independent primary variables like that of the first-order shear deformation theory, yet it considers the realistic parabolic behavior of the transverse shear stresses across the thickness of the laminated composites plates, and also maintains the continuity conditions of transverse shear stresses at the interfaces of the laminated plates. A two-parameter foundation model, namely Pasternak’s foundation, is used to model the deformation and shear interactions of the elastic foundation. The governing set of equations is derived by implementing Hamilton’s principle and variational calculus. Two different solution methods, namely, a generalized closed-form analytical solution of Navier-type, and a C0 isoparametric finite element (FE) formulation, are developed for solving the governing set of equations. The solutions in the time domain are obtained with Newmark’s average acceleration method. Comprehensive parametric studies are presented to investigate the influence of elastic foundation parameters, piezoelectric layers, loading, and boundary conditions on the static and dynamic responses of the smart composite plates with piezoelectric layers. The effects of the elastic foundations on the vibration control of the smart composite plates are also presented by coupling the piezoelectric actuator and sensor with a feedback controller. Several benchmark results are presented to show the influence of the various material and geometrical parameters on the controlled and uncontrolled responses of the smart plates, and also the significant effect of the elastic foundations on the static and dynamic responses of the smart structures. The results obtained are in very good agreement with the available literature, and it can be concluded that the proposed analytical solution and FE formulation can be efficiently used to model the static and dynamic electro-elastic behavior of smart laminated plates supported on elastic foundations.
Honey, There´s Something on My Mind… Adverse Consequences of Negative and Positive Work Rumination on Attention to the Partner, and the Advantage of Talking About it

Published: January 2023

AbstractIn the contemporary 24/7 working society, the separation of work and private life is increasingly turning into an unrealizable ideal. Ruminating about work outside the work context lets work spill over into private lives and affects the dynamics of workers’ private relationships. Although negative work rumination was linked to couples’ reduced relationship satisfaction, little is known about the mechanism of action and the impact of positive work rumination. Drawing on the load theory of selective attention, we hypothesize that both negative and positive work rumination occupy attentional resources and thus reduce workers' attention to the partner on the same day. Lower levels of attention to the partner, in turn, should relate to lower levels of both partners’relationship satisfaction. However, sharing the work-related thoughts with the partner might support the resolution of the work issue the worker is ruminating about, which releases attentional resources and thus buffers the negative association between rumination and attention to the partner. We conducted a daily diary study and the findings based on 579 daily dyadic observations from 42 dual‐earner couples support the proposed cognitive spillover-crossover mechanism and the buffer mechanism of thought-sharing. We conclude that negative and positive work rumination takes up scarce attentional resources and thus jeopardizes relationship quality. However, sharing thoughts with one's partner seems to be a useful strategy for couples to maintain or even increase their relationship satisfaction in the light of work rumination.
Social evaluation functionals with an arbitrary set of alternatives
Authors: Candeal Juan C. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper explores the concept of a social evaluation functional in the case of an arbitrary set of alternatives. In the first part, a characterization of projective social evaluations functionals is shown whenever the common restricted domain is the set of all bounded utility functions equipped with the supremum norm topology. The result makes a crucial use, among others, of a continuity axiom. In the second part, a comparison meaningful property is introduced for a social evaluation functional which allows us for obtaining a more general result with no continuity requirements. Finally, an impossibility theorem, which is reminiscent of that is obtained by Chichilnisky in (Q J Econ 97:337–352, 1982) but without using topological conditions, is offered.
Effects of related decorative pictures on learning and metacognition
Authors: Scherer Demian , Verkühlen Annika , Dutke Stephan 
Published: January 2023

AbstractResearch suggests that explanatory pictures support learning, whereas pictures that distract processing resources from the main ideas of a text may impair learning and are considered as seductive illustrations. However, non-explanatory pictures that are related to the text and that do not tempt readers to focus illustrations more than the text’s main ideas might improve learning through spreading activation processes during learning. This effect might be reflected in memory measures or in metacognitive measures. Therefore, in two experiments, we tested related decorative pictures for positive effects on knowledge and transfer performance and metacognitive monitoring. Results indicate positive effects of related pictures on knowledge acquisition (Experiment 1) and metacognitive monitoring (Experiment 2). In neither experiment, related pictures enhanced transfer performance or interest (measured as triggered and maintained situational interest). This pattern of results can be explained by automatic mutual facilitation of related materials based on spreading activation processes.
Microplastic surface retention and mobility on hiking trails
Authors: Forster Nicola Ann , Wilson Susan Caroline , Tighe Matthew Kevin 
Published: January 2023

AbstractHiking and trail running are a source of microplastic (MP) pollution on recreational trails in wilderness and conservation areas; however, the fate of MPs deposited on trails is poorly understood as MP mobility on such surfaces has not yet been examined. In this study, we simulated heavy rainfall (100 mm/h) on trail surfaces with existing MP pollution (in situ MPs) and spiked with 99 ± 2 rubber MPs (100–940 μm). Runoff was collected for 15 min and spiked and in situ MPs were quantified. Hydrological, erosional and microplastic responses were evaluated in relation to slope, bulk density, soil moisture and surface condition indicators, including amounts and types of surface cover and soil physical attributes. The MPs were largely immobile, with 85–100% of spiked MPs retained on trail surfaces. In situ MPs were detected in the trail runoff, with the majority being polyurethane, polypropylene and polyester. Microplastic movement was primarily influenced by hydrological effects, and analysis indicated the main explanatory variable was total runoff volume, followed by soil slaking. Trail sections with at least 15% herbaceous cover or a layer of loose alluvium had higher MP retention. Areas of resource accrual may be preferentially enriched, suggesting MPs from outdoor recreation may be concentrated on and adjacent to recreational trails. Microplastics deposited on trails may have long term implications for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in wilderness and conservation areas, particularly around the trail corridor.

AbstractSpinal trauma is an important cause of disability worldwide. Injury to the cervical spine (CS) occurs frequently after major trauma. 5–10% of patients with blunt trauma have a cervical spine injury. The cervical spine accounts for ~ 50% of all spinal injuries. Determination of CS stability is a common challenge in the acute care setting of patients with trauma. Several issues, indeed, are of particular concern: who needs CS imaging; what imaging should be obtained; when should computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or flexion/extension (F/E) radiographs be obtained; and how is significant ligamentous injury excluded in the comatose patient. CT and MRI both have roles to play. This article aims to present the different imaging to frame techniques to be used with greater precision in the acute event also for the purpose of planning the next therapeutic process. An overview of the applicability of the same methods in forensic pathology is also provided highlighting possible future biomarker to ease in diagnosis of acute TBI.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Image fusion merges preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) with live fluoroscopy during endovascular procedures to function as an overlay 3D roadmap. However, in most current systems, the registration between imaging modalities is performed manually by vertebral column matching which can be subjective, inaccurate and time consuming depending on experience. Our objective was to evaluate feasibility and accuracy of image-based automated 2D-3D image fusion between preoperative CTA and intraoperative fluoroscopy based on vertebral column matching.

Methods
A single-center study with offline procedure data was conducted in 10 consecutive patients which had endovascular aortic repair in which we evaluated unreleased automated fusion software provided by Philips (Best, the Netherlands). Fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography images were collected after the procedures and the vertebral column was fused fully automatically. Primary endpoints were feasibility and accuracy of bone alignment (mm). Secondary endpoint was vascular alignment (mm) between the lowest renal artery orifices. Clinical non-inferiority was defined at a mismatch of < 1 mm.

Results
In total, 87 automated measurements and 40 manual measurements were performed on vertebrae T12–L5 in all 10 patients. Manual correction was needed in 3 of the 10 patients due to incomplete visibility of the vertebral edges in the fluoroscopy image. Median difference between automated fusion and manual fusion was 0.1 mm for bone alignment (p = 0.94). The vascular alignment was 4.9 mm (0.7–17.5 mm) for manual and 5.5 mm (1.0–14.0 mm) for automated fusion. This did not improve, due to the presence of stiff wires and stent graft.

Conclusion
Automated image fusion was feasible when all vertebral edges were visible. Accuracy was non-inferior to manual image fusion regarding bone alignment. Future developments should focus on intraoperative image-based correction of vascular alignment.
In-situ characterization of tool temperatures using in-tool integrated thermoresistive thin-film sensors
Authors: González Germán , Plogmeyer Marcel , Schoop Julius , Bräuer Günter , Schulze Volker 
Published: January 2023

AbstractMetal cutting is characterized by high temperatures at the tool-workpiece interface. Although valuable information could be provided by the temperature values, their direct measurement still presents a challenge due to the high contact pressure and the inaccessibility of the process kinematic. In this research work, the current state of thin-film sensors for measuring temperatures on the chip-tool interface has been analyzed with a focus on the measuring phenomena: thermoelectricity and thermoresistivity. Thin-film sensors placed on the cutting tools in or close to the tool-chip contact area are expected to obtain accurate temperature information at the expense of a short lifetime. New insights into thin-film sensors manufacturing, design and calibration are presented, and a new concept of a three-point thermoresistive thin-film sensor is proposed. During orthogonal cutting tests the workpiece deformations were measured through high-speed imaging and the process temperatures were measured with thin-film sensors. In order to validate the temperatures and to obtain the temperature distribution on the cutting edge, Finite Element simulations were carried out. Finally, the potential of using cutting tools with integrated thin-film sensors for in-situ characterization is investigated and a statement for its limitations and potential applications is given.

Published: January 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Non-operative management of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is emerging as a popular approach for patients that have no evidence of disease following neoadjuvant therapy. However, high rates of local recurrence or distant metastases have highlighted the urgent need for robust biomarker strategies to aid clinical management of these patients.

Methods
This review summarizes recent advances in the utility of cell-free (cf) and circulating tumor (ct) DNA as potential biomarkers to help guide individualized non-operative management strategies for LARC patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

Results
Liquid biopsies and the detection of cfDNA/ctDNA is an emerging technology with the potential to provide a non-invasive approach to monitor disease response and improve the identification of patients with LARC that would best benefit from non-operative management.

Conclusions
Substantial work is still needed before cfDNA/ctDNA monitoring can be widely adopted in the clinical setting. Studies reviewed herein highlight several areas of opportunity for improving the effectiveness and utility of cfDNA/ctDNA for managing patients with LARC.
Self-control and debt decisions relationship: evidence for different credit options
Authors: Fernández-López Sara , Castro-González Sandra , Rey-Ares Lucía , Rodeiro-Pazos David 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In recent years, households have become increasingly indebted, which constitutes a matter of concern. Based on a sample from the Spanish Survey of Financial Competences, this paper examines the relationship between self-control and consumer borrowing behaviour and, in so doing, it proposes a new multi-item scale of individual’s self-control in financial matters and considers several types of consumer debt, thus overcoming the main gaps identified in previous research. Empirical evidence reveals that, overall, self-control problems lead to more indebtedness. However, comprehensive analyses have demonstrated that the influence of self-control differs across an exhaustive range of credit options. In this regard, the lack of self-control increases the probability of taking out unsecured personal loans, loans from family or friends, and credit card use. Evidence suggests that individuals’ first impulse leads them to ask their social circle for a loan. Overall, individuals might be tempted to get indebted when they cannot make ends meet. However, this first impulse usually faces barriers from the supply perspective, so the evidence suggests that the effect of self-control on borrowing decisions might be shaped not only by the demand side of credit but also by the supply one.
Platyhelminth fauna of the Island of Sylt: a meta-analysis of distributional patterns and description of 19 new species
Authors: Armonies Werner 
Published: January 2023

AbstractOver the past 70 years, numerous authors studied the platyhelminth fauna near the island of Sylt in the eastern North Sea, each with a specific focus on varying aspects of ecology, morphology or systematics, and most of them dealing with a single habitat type. These data are combined with new data to get a comprehensive view of species richness, the distribution of individual species across tidal levels and sediment types and the resulting communities. So far, 398 platyhelminth species have been recorded around Sylt island, plus a still growing number of unidentified or undescribed species, in particular from subtidal waters. The distribution over habitat types (as defined by sediment types and tidal level) is described for the known species. Neighbouring habitat types overlap in species composition, and faunal composition changes continuously over environmental gradients. The number of species recorded per habitat type mirrors the sampling intensity and varied between some 20 species in poorly studied habitats and 150 in the well-studied intertidal sand flats. Corrected for variations in sampling intensity, platyhelminth species richness showed no significant differences between sediment types and only moderate variation over tidal levels. On a larger spatial scale, three faunal assemblages can be differentiated: the supratidal harbours brackish-water species (mesohaline in the upper and polyhaline in the lower supratidal), the intertidal polyhaline-marine species with a wide tolerance of variations in physical factors and the subtidal marine (± stenohaline) species. With respect to sediment type, mud and sand dwellers are well separated in the supra- and subtidal belt but less in the intertidal. Provided these rules are general, I conclude platyhelminth species richness in a given section of coastline mainly depends on the ranges of environmental factors covered. Nineteen new species encountered during this study are described.
Biogeographic patterns in sea pens (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea)
Authors: García-Cárdenas Francisco J. , López-González Pablo J. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPennatulaceans (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea) are among the most dominant octocoral species living in soft bottom communities. Some of them are cosmopolitan and have been recorded in all seas and oceans of the world, from shallow waters up to about 6260 m deep. In the present study, we try to find answers to questions about the biogeographical distribution of sea pens including most recently described species. We also evaluate the diversity and faunistic affinities among pennatulaceans of the world’s oceans, and determine the degree of faunistic isolation of the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic. Finally, we return to the old debate about the hypothetical oldest diversification center of sea pen lineages.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundIn the earlier developed and evaluated 12-week UPcomplish intervention, the aim was to reduce sedentary behaviour (SB) among office workers and increase their quality of life (QoL). In the current study, we explored moderators of effectiveness.MethodWe applied a stepped wedge design with five intervention groups starting with time lags of seven weeks (n = 142, 96 females). Participants wore the VitaBit to continuously measure SB and received surveys about QoL and psychosocial determinants at the beginning, middle, and end of the intervention. We regressed baseline participant characteristics and behaviours onto intra-individual improvements (centred around calendar week means) in determinants, SB, performance objectives, and QoL.ResultsThose scoring high in baseline intention, task performance, stress, vitality, and emotional well-being improved less in these variables. Baseline stress (β =  − 0.05 [SE = 0.01; 95% CI =  − 0.08, − 0.02;pcorrected = .02]) and emotional well-being (β = 0.02 [SE = 0.01; 95% CI = 0.01, 0.03;pcorrected = .02]) were associated with improvement in contextual performance. Baseline attitude (β =  − 12.92 [SE = 3.93; 95% CI =  − 20.80, − 5.04;pcorrected = .02]) and perceived behavioural control (PBC;β =  − 9.27 [SE = 3.04; 95% CI =  − 15.37, − 3.16;pcorrected = .03]) were negatively associated with improvements in emotional well-being. Post hoc analyses with a sub-group scoring lower in determinants revealed that improvement in PBC was positively associated with SB registration.ConclusionParticipants scoring low in baseline determinants might profit from UPcomplish via an increase in PBC. In combination with changes within organizations (e.g. the implementation of standing desks), UPcomplish might potentially reduce SB.Trial RegistrationNL7503 — registered 1 February 2019.
Inner Speech and ‘Pure’ Thought – Do we Think in Language?
Authors: Kompa Nikola A. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWhile the idea that thinking is a form of silent self-talk goes back at least to Plato, it is not immediately clear how to state this thesis precisely. The aim of the paper is to spell out the notion that we think in language by recourse to recent work on inner speech. To that end, inner speech and overt speech are briefly compared. I then propose that inner speaking be defined as a mental episode that substantially engages the speech production system; the underlying model of speech production is sketched. Next, the cognitive role of inner speaking is explored, especially its role in thinking and reasoning. The question of whether it is a way of making thoughts accessible (to whomever) or whether it is a means of thinking itself is raised. I argue that there are two reasons for assuming that, occasionally, we think in language. More specifically, I will claim that some instances of thinking are instances of inner speaking as they exploit certain properties of natural language, and that some instances of inner speaking are instances of thinking as they play a decisive role in paradigmatic cases of thinking that result from internalizing and re-using certain social-linguistic practices. Finally, the Language-of-Thought hypothesis as an alternative account is critically discussed.
Challenges of Documenting Historic Water Systems
Authors: Cohen Anna S. , Cannon Molly Boeka , Jimenez Kelly N. 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTGeospatial research in archaeology often relies on datasets previously collected by other archaeologists or third-party groups, such as state or federal government entities. This article discusses our work with geospatial datasets for identifying, documenting, and evaluating prehistoric and historic water features in the western United States. As part of a project on water heritage and long-term views on water management, our research has involved aggregating spatial data from an array of open access and semi-open access sources. Here, we consider the challenges of working with such datasets, including outdated or disorganized information, and fragmentary data. Based on our experiences, we recommend best practices: (1) locating relevant data and creating a data organization method for working with spatial data, (2) addressing data integrity, (3) integrating datasets in systematic ways across research cohorts, and (4) improving data accessibility.
