Characterizing Infrasound Station Frequency Response Using Large Earthquakes and Colocated Seismometers
Authors: Fee David , Macpherson Kenneth , Gabrielson Thomas 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT
Earthquakes generate infrasound in multiple ways. Acoustic coupling at the surface from vertical seismic velocity, termed local infrasound, is often recorded by infrasound sensors but has seen relatively little study. Over 140 infrasound stations have recently been deployed in Alaska. Most of these stations have single sensors, rather than arrays, and were originally installed as part of the EarthScope Transportable Array. The single sensor nature, paucity of ground-truth signals, and remoteness makes evaluating their data quality and utility challenging. In addition, despite notable recent advances, infrasound calibration and frequency response evaluation remains challenging, particularly for large networks and retrospective analysis of sensors already installed. Here, we examine local seismoacoustic coupling on colocated seismic and infrasound stations in Alaska. Numerous large earthquakes across the region in recent years generated considerable vertical seismic velocity and local infrasound that were recorded on colocated sensors. We build on previous work and evaluate the full infrasound station frequency response using seismoacoustic coupled waves. By employing targeted signal processing techniques, we show that a single seismometer may be sufficient for characterizing the response of an entire nearby infrasound array. We find that good low frequency (&lt;1 Hz) infrasound station response estimates can be derived from large (Mw&gt;7) earthquakes out to at least 1500 km. High infrasound noise levels at some stations and seismic-wave energy focused at low frequencies limit our response estimates. The response of multiple stations in Alaska is found to differ considerably from their metadata and are related to improper installation and erroneous metadata. Our method provides a robust way to remotely examine infrasound station frequency response and examine seismoacoustic coupling, which is being increasingly used in airborne infrasound observations, earthquake magnitude estimation, and other applications.

Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) has spread rapidly and posed numerous threats to the food security and livelihood of millions of smallholder farmers in Ghana. This study quantifies the damages of fall armyworm infestation in maize production and identifies the various methods used in controlling fall armyworm infestation. Almost all farmers 94% experienced fall armyworm infestation on their farms. They cited key common visual damages as yellowish leaves, stunted growth, poor yield quality, holes in leaves, and egg masses on leaves. Farmer’s loss an average of GH¢2616.07 to fall armyworm infestation. Pesticide application is the frequent control measure mostly used by farmers. Farmers do not mostly use biological methods for the control of the fall armyworm. The use of pesticide as a control method is however not effective as about GH¢ 3 000 per 1 acre is lost with the use of insecticides. It is recommended that the use of other control measures like the contemporary measures involving the use of birds and chickens as predators of eggs and worms of fall armyworm should be encouraged.

Three-Year Follow-Up of a Traumatic Critical-Sized Tibial Bone Defect Treated with a 3D Printed Titanium Cage
Authors: Johnson Lindsey G. , Kearney Molly M. , Allen Nicholas B. , Adams Samuel B. 
Published: February 2023

Case:
We report a case involving a 21-year-old woman who sustained a Grade III open pilon fracture of the left ankle during a motor vehicle accident that resulted in a 12-cm critical-sized bone defect (CSD) that was successfully treated with a three-dimensional (3D) printed titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) cage, a tibiotalocalcaneal intramedullary nail, and autogenous and allograft bone. The patient’s reported outcome measures were comparable with those reported for non-CSD injuries at 3-year follow-up. The authors conclude that 3D printed titanium cages offers a unique approach to traumatic limb salvage for tibial CSD.

Conclusions:
3D printing offers a novel solution to CSDs. To the best of our knowledge, this case report details the largest 3D printed cage, to date, used to treat tibial bone loss. This report describes a unique approach to traumatic limb salvage with favorable patient-reported outcomes and evidence of radiographic fusion at a 3-year follow up.

Authors: Pujol Oriol , Reverté Mercè , Pijoan Joan , Minguell Joan , Joshi-Jubert Nayana , Castellet Enric 
Published: February 2023

Case:
An 81-year-old man presented with severe atraumatic knee pain. Sixteen years before, he had undergone a primary cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A radiological study showed osteolysis and loosening of the femoral component. Intraoperatively, a medial femoral condyle fracture was found. A rotating-hinge revision TKA with cemented stems was implanted.

Conclusion:
Femoral component fracture is extremely rare. Surgeons should remain vigilant with younger and heavier patients with severe unexplained pain. Early revision TKA using cemented, stemmed, and more constrained implants is usually necessary. Full and stable metal-to-bone contact through perfect cuts and a careful cementing technique avoiding debonded areas are recommended to prevent this complication.

Published: February 2023

Case:
During dissection of the upper limb of a cadaver in preparation for a first-year anatomy course, an extensor indicis proprius (EIP) variant was discovered with its muscle belly extending distal to the extensor retinaculum and beyond what has been previously described in the literature.

Conclusion:
EIP is commonly used as a tendon transfer for extensor pollicis longus rupture. Few anatomic variants of EIP have been reported in the literature, but such variants should be considered because of their consequences to the success of tendon transfer and potential implications for diagnosis of an otherwise unexplained mass of the wrist.

Published: February 2023

Background:
Adequate pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been associated with improved patient mobility and satisfaction, and is a task that has historically relied on opioids. Multimodal analgesic regimens can be considered a therapeutic alternative for postoperative pain control to avoid opioid consumption and its adverse side effects. This study aimed to evaluate the use of a multimodal analgesia protocol based on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen as an alternative to reduce opioid consumption in Hispanic patients undergoing primary TKA.

Methods:
An institutional review board-approved, randomized controlled trial evaluated postoperative pain control after TKA in a Hispanic population. The experimental opioid-sparing group received 30-mg ketorolac intravenously every 6 hours and 1-g acetaminophen orally every 6 hours as the patient requested. The experimental group had the option to use morphine and oxycodone combined with acetaminophen as a rescue therapy. The control group received opioids in the form of 0.1-mg/kg morphine intravenously every 6 hours and/or oxycodone combined with acetaminophen (2.5 and 325 mg), 2 tablets orally every 6 hours, as the patient requested. Sociodemographic, operative, and immediate postoperative data and pain intensity measurements according to the numerical rating scale (NRS) were compared between groups. Analgesic efficacy was assessed according to the NRS scores at 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively.

Results:
Eighty-one Hispanic patients met inclusion criteria: 42 patients in the experimental group and 39 patients in the control group. None of the patients in the experimental group requested oxycodone combined with acetaminophen as a rescue therapy. Only 2 patients in the experimental group used a mean of 3.0 ± 1.4 mg of rescue morphine; in comparison, the control group consumed a mean of 28.0 ± 7.9 mg of morphine and 64.8 ± 26.0 mg of oxycodone per patient. A pain intensity decrease was observed in the experimental and control groups, with no postoperative evaluation differences at 12 hours (6.7 ± 2.9 compared with 5.9 ± 2.8; p = 0.209), 24 hours (6.2 ± 2.0 compared with 6.1 ± 2.2; p = 0.813), and 48 hours (4.7 ± 2.1 compared with 4.6 ± 1.7; p = 0.835).

Conclusions:
The use of a multimodal analgesic regimen based on intravenous ketorolac and oral acetaminophen was adequate in reducing postoperative pain and opioid consumption in Hispanic patients undergoing TKA.

An Evaluation of Resources Available to Learn About Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Programs
Authors: Malyavko Alisa , Bernstein Simone A. , Gu Alex , Mulcahey Mary K. 
Published: February 2023

Introduction:
Orthopaedic surgery is one of the most competitive residencies to match into, and understanding what information is useful for applicants can reduce the number of programs applied to. The purpose of this study was to (1) determine which residency recruitment resources influence where applicants apply and how they rank programs, (2) identify what information would be most helpful for applicants to learn about programs, and (3) determine whether orthopaedic surgery applicants have preferential solutions to improve the application process.

Methods:
Medical students who applied to the orthopaedic surgery residency program at the senior author's institution during the 2021-2022 application cycle were invited to participate in this study. The anonymous Qualtrics survey covered several domains of demographics and questions about recruitment resources (e.g., residency websites, in-person away rotations, rankings, and databases with information about orthopaedic surgery programs).

Results:
Of the 216 survey respondents, 77 (35.6%) identified as female and 132 (61.1%) as male. Twenty-four (11.1%) respondents were the first in their family to graduate from an undergraduate program, and 47 (21.8%) applicants had a physician in their immediate family. Survey respondents selected in-person away rotations as the most influential factor in deciding where to apply (n = 97) and how to rank programs (n = 117). Regarding the residency match, 152 survey respondents (70.4%) would like interview caps, 128 (59.3%) would like an increase in program information available on residency databases, and 120 (55.5%) would like application caps.

Discussion:
Medical students applying to orthopaedic surgery residency programs found in-person away rotations to be most influential on which programs they applied to. Applicants would like more transparency during the application process to make better informed decisions when applying to and ranking programs. Residency program directors can apply these preferences to facilitate a more equitable process for all students applying to orthopaedic surgery.

Analysis of Riser Gas Pressure from Full-Scale Gas-in-Riser Experiments with Instrumentation
Authors: Kunju Mahendra R. , Almeida Mauricio A. 
Published: February 2023

Summary
Because the use of adaptive drilling processes, such as managed pressure drilling (MPD), facilitate drilling of otherwise nondrillable wells with faster corrective action, the drilling industry should include the effect of gas dispersion, bubble suspension, fluid compressibility, and riser ballooning to avoid the overestimation of riser pressure and to produce more efficient well control methods. The IADC Deepwater Well Control Guideline recommends always addressing riser gas first, before proceeding to control the well in a well control situation. The intent is to remove the risk of gas reaching the surface and the rig floor, putting personnel and assets at risk. However, with the availability of equipment on the rig dedicated to handling riser gas and the fact that the riser is isolated from the wellbore, the atmosphere reduces the level of risk of gas in the riser, whereas the well below the subsea blowout preventer (SSBOP) poses a greater risk. In this paper, we discuss the results from full-scale experiments recently conducted in an extensively instrumented test well (LSU Well-2) and demonstrate that the riser pressures resulting from upward transport or aggregation of riser gas are much lower than the values estimated using the single-bubble model and industry thumb rules. We explain the danger of using an open-top riser top during the monitoring of gas-in-riser and how the situation can get out of control due to the potential dynamic unloading situation. Our research also demonstrates the minimal fluid bleedoff volumes required to reduce pressure buildup consequences of free gas migration in a fully closed riser containing low-compressibility liquid. A differential pressure methodology used in this paper for analysis was also used for detecting the presence, position, void fraction, and lead and tail velocity of the gas column in real time during each of the tests to make decisions during the tests. The results from a successful application of the fixed choke constant outflow (FCCO) method as a new method for circulating out gas from the riser by staying within the gas-handling capacity of the existing mud gas separator (MGS) on the rig are presented. This is the industry’s first test of the FCCO method.
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of CO2 Hydrate Growth in NaCl Aqueous Solution

Published: February 2023

Summary
Climate change has brought enormous adverse outcomes to biological activities around the world. The main reason is that too much CO2 has been released into the atmosphere. In recent years, storing CO2 in the form of CO2 hydrate is a research hotspot, the main purpose of which is to reduce carbon emissions to mitigate the greenhouse effect. In this work, we use the molecular dynamics simulation method to study the growth of CO2 hydrate in NaCl aqueous solution with the assumption of induction of CO2 sequestration in the ocean. The temperature is 275 K and the pressure is 10 MPa in this work. Under these conditions, stucture I type (sI-type) CO2 hydrate with a density of about 1150 kg/m3 formed within a very short period of time. The simulation results show that during hydrate growth, Na+ and Cl− are “driven” together and the water molecules remain liquid in this region, where they are near Na+ and Cl−. From the independent gradient model (IGM) based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH) analysis, Na+ does not bond with any ions/molecules, which hinders the formation of water cages and thus inhibits hydrate growth; Cl− forms multiple H-bonds with neighboring H2O molecules and can participate in the formation of water cages. However, it is worth noting that not all Cl– and the nearby water molecules can form either a five-membered ring or a four-membered ring; even some water molecules and Cl− cannot form a closed ring. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the water molecules near the Cl− are all in liquid or solid state.

Abstract
Despite initial responses to hormone treatment, metastatic prostate cancer invariably evolves to a lethal state. To characterize the intra-patient relationships of metastases that evade treatment, we performed genome-wide copy number profiling and bespoke approaches targeting the androgen receptor (AR) on 142 metastatic regions from 10 organs harvested post-mortem from nine men who died from prostate cancer. We identified diverse and patient-unique alterations clustering around the AR in metastases from every patient with evidence of independent acquisition of related genomic changes within an individual and, in some patients, the co-existence of AR-neutral clones. Using the genomic boundaries of pan-autosome copy number change, we confirmed a common clone of origin across metastases and diagnostic biopsies; and identified in individual patients, clusters of metastases occupied by dominant clones with diverged autosomal copy number alterations and cluster-specific AR gene architectures. Copy number boundaries identified treatment-selected clones with distinct lethal trajectories.
A global analysis of coral reef conservation preferences
Authors: Robinson Peter , Beukering Pieter van , Brander Luke 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Coral reefs and many associated fish populations may cease to exist by the end of the century without additional long-term strategic conservation effort. This paper examines demand for global coral and reef fish conservation in twelve countries of varying income and tropical reef proximity. We analyze preferences for several conservation measures, as well as the impact of country- and individual-specific characteristics and preferences on conservation demand. Moreover, the role of scarcity in shaping this demand is explored. Overall, our findings suggest that preferences of the general public are not well-aligned with coral reef conservation measures that are likely to be effective over time. Individuals are more willing to act to save reefs when they are in serious decline than moderate decline. They also prefer hands on restoration measures, which empirically have been shown to have varying rates of success, over expanding marine protected areas and strengthening legislation. We further find that conservation demand is highest in countries where income is low and where tropical reefs are present. Based on these results, we draw key implications for policymaking decisions based on insights from behavioural science, such as highlighting worst-case future coral reef scenarios.
Detection of attacks in the Internet of Things with the feature selection approach based on the whale optimization algorithm and learning by majority voting
Authors: Aliabadi Mohammad Sharifi , Jalalian Afsaneh 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Penetration into the Internet of Things network is a challenge in the security of new-generation networks and smart cities. In most cases, malware is distributed in the Internet of Things and smart objects are infected by malware. Objects infected with malware or viruses, which are called botnets, perform attacks such as DDoS against network services. DDoS attacks make network services inaccessible to users. A suitable approach to detect attacks based on malware and botnet is to use intelligent and distributed intrusion detection systems in the Internet of Things and smart cities. In other research, a centralized architecture and deep learning and machine learning method have been used to design intrusion detection systems. Centralized approaches have limited ability to process large volumes of traffic and are vulnerable to DDoS attacks. In this paper, a distributed intrusion detection system is designed with two stages dimensionality reduction and classification. In the first stage, a new and improved version of the whale optimization algorithm(WOA) has been used to select features and reduce traffic dimensions in fog nodes. In the second stage, each fog node performs the classification of the important features of the network traffic by voting and combined learning. The fog nodes share the IP address of the attacking nodes with the detection of the attacking node. Experiments showed that the improved WOA algorithm has less error in calculating the optimal solution than the optimization algorithm of the WOA algorithm. Reducing the feature selection objective function in the proposed method shows that the WOA algorithm is finding optimal features for intrusion detection and reducing the intrusion detection error. The advantage of the proposed intrusion detection system is to deal with DDoS attacks and cooperation between fog nodes to share blacklists. Tests showed that the proposed method in detecting network intrusion without feature selection has accuracy, sensitivity, and precision of 98.21%, 98.09%, and 97.88%. The proposed method with feature selection has accuracy, sensitivity, and precision of 99.39%, 99.31%, and 99.28%. The accuracy and precision of the proposed method in network intrusion detection are higher than the gray wolf algorithm, genetics and support vector machine, the binary gray wolf algorithm, and the hybridized GWO and GA algorithm. The proposed method is more accurate in intrusion detection than the GWO + PSO and firefly algorithms.

Abstract
Herbicides in wastewater are considered as a serious issue to environmental pollution. Different impregnated metal zinc oxide (Cu/ZnO and Ni/ZnO) as catalyst were prepared through wet impregnation method. The prepared impregnated catalysts were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) Analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, band gap and surface area. The degradation of selected herbicides Isoproturon and triasulfuron were investigated using combine effort of photocatalysis and sonication. The experimental parameters such as pH, irradiation time, photocatalyst dose, effect of oxidants, diverse ion effect, herbicide concentration and catalyst reusability have been optimized. The percent removal of isoproturon was found to be 99% and 98% at pH 7 and triasulfuron was 98% and 99% at pH 6 and 7 using (Cu/ZnO and Ni/ZnO) photocatalysts respectively.
