A novel video game for remote studies of motor adaptation in children
Authors: Malone Laura A. , Hill Nayo M. , Tripp Haley , Wolpert Daniel M. , Bastian Amy J. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractHere we designed a motor adaptation video game that could be played remotely (at home) through a web browser. This required the child to adapt to a visuomotor rotation between their hand movement and a ball displayed in the game. The task had several novel features, specifically designed to allow the study of the developmental trajectory of adaptation across a wide range of ages. We test the concurrent validity by comparing children's performance on our remote task to the same task performed in the laboratory. All participants remained engaged and completed the task. We quantified feedforward and feedback control during this task. Feedforward control, a key measure of adaptation, was similar at home and in the laboratory. All children could successfully use feedback control to guide the ball to a target. Traditionally, motor learning studies are performed in a laboratory to obtain high quality kinematic data. However, here we demonstrate concurrent validity of kinematic behavior when conducted at home. Our online platform provides the flexibility and ease of collecting data that will enable future studies with large sample sizes, longitudinal experiments, and the study of children with rare diseases.
Experimental investigation of electrode wear assessment in the EDM process using image processing technique
Authors: Khleif Ali Abbar 
Published: July 2023

AbstractOne of the widespread non-traditional and non-contact machining processes is the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process, which depends on removing material from the surface by different repeat electrical discharges between a machined workpiece and a cutting tool called the electrode. The electrode wear in the EDM process is one of the parameters of significant technological interest. This article proposed a reliable image-based system that automatically detects and computes electrode wear in EDM of rectangular steel workpiece plate of AISI 314 using a copper electrode with a rectangular shape. MATLAB environment and image processing toolbox are used to identify and manipulate the captured rectangular electrode image for rectangular electrode data extraction needed for the electrode wear identification process. The results show that the proposed image-based approach, using a non-contact measuring system and relatively inexpensive equipment, is suitable with good accuracy and efficiency for measuring and testing electrode wear.

Abstract
Four energetic binders, polyglycidyl nitrate (PGN), poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyloxetane) (PNIMMO), poly(bis(azidomethyl)oxetane) (PBAMO), and glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) were, respectively, mixed with dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50), forming TKX-50-based polymer bonded explosives (PBXs). Interfacial forces (binding energies) under different temperatures, mechanical properties (tensile modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio), and moldability of TKX-50-based PBXs were investigated by employing molecular dynamics simulation, the energy characteristics of TKX-50-based PBXs were calculated by Chapman–Jouguet (C–J) detonated theory. Results show that temperature has little effect on the binding energies, but the binding energies between every energetic binder and each surface of TKX-50 are different and the order of combined ability between four energetic binders and TKX-50 decrease as follows: PNIMMO > PBAMO > PGN > GAP. Compared with TKX-50, the addition of four energetic binders makes the rigidity of TKX-50-based PBXs decrease and the plasticity improve, the plastic ability rank is in the order of PGN > PNIMMO > PBAMO > GAP. In addition, the moldability of TKX-50-based PBXs is obviously improved, the increasing order is PGN > PNIMMO > PBAMO > GAP. Finally, the detonation performances indicate that compared with common binder, the addition of the energetic binder makes TKX-50-based PBXs have higher energy under the same condition.
Review on optical solitons for long haul transmission

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Fiber optics telecommunication is the currently established backbone infrastructure for most of the information flow across the world. New services and applications are causing an exponential increase in Internet traffic, increasing transmission rate, and high bandwidth-demanding applications have been propelling the data rate per wavelength to approach the speed limit of electronics. In a few years, the current fiber optic communication system infrastructure will not be able to meet this demand because fiber nonlinearity dramatically limits the information transmission rate. Also, the dispersion phenomenon is a problem for high bit rates and long-haul optical communication systems. An easy solution to this problem is optical solitons pulses that preserve their shape over long distances. An optical soliton is formed by balancing nonlinearity (self-phase modulation) and dispersion phenomenon (group velocity dispersion). In this review article, a detailed study of optical solitons is presented along with its recent progress. Advanced numerical methods such as Darboux transform (DT), digital back propagation, split step Fourier, and forward–backward methods are also discussed in this paper which is used for solving higher-order solitons.
Evaluating the influence of radial power heterogeneity of fuel rod on its temperature in an accelerator driven subcritical system

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The radial non-uniformity of an ADS fuel rod power density on the peak plane is as high as 10.46 %, which is derived from the reactor physics calculations. In order to investigate the influence of the above-mentioned radial power inhomogeneity on the fuel temperature distribution, this paper constructs a set of two-dimensional comparison examples, where one example uses a uniform heat source and another uses a non-uniform heat source distribution, with taking the fuel segment and its corresponding cladding segment in the region where the peak plane is located as the research object. The finite element software COMSOL is used to conduct the heat transfer analysis. The results of the study show that the fuel temperature under radial non-uniform power distribution is almost the same as that under uniform power. Therefore, this radial non-uniformity can be completely ignored when the research object of temperature is considered. The quantitative calculation carried out in this research can provide certain data support for the engineering research of accelerator driven subcritical system, and can also provide certain guidance for the performance analysis of such fuel elements.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Iron-overload-associated cardiomyopathy has been one of the primary causes of mortality in thalassemia patients with iron burden. There is growing evidence citing the beneficial effects of ebselen as an antioxidant selectively blocking the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT-1) to deter iron ingress into cardiomyocytes, raising internets in viewing this component in this population in order to treat and even prevent cardiomyopathy occurring from iron surplus. In this article, we reviewed the potential advantageous effects of ebselen in thalassemia patients who suffer from iron excess, susceptible to cardiomyopathy induced by iron overload. A systematic search in several databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, was conducted to explore the role of ebselen in controlling iron-overload-related cardiomyopathy in thalassemia patients by the keywords of Ebselen AND iron. The inclusion criteria were English-written preclinical and clinical studies investigating the efficacy and side effects of ebselen in an iron-overload context. After searching the databases, 44 articles were found. Next, of 19 published articles, 3 were included in this article. After reviewing the references of the included studies, no articles were added. In conclusion ebselen can be a promising adjuvant therapy in patients with thalassemia alongside the standard treatment with iron chelators, particularly in severe cases with cardiomyopathy, due to falling iron inflow by inhibiting DMT-1 and increasing ferroportin-1 expression and antioxidant properties. However, clinical studies need to be carried out to reach a definite conclusion.
The Classification of Q1 SJR-Ranked Library and Information Science Journals by an AI-driven “Suspected Predatory” Journal Classifier
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn academic publishing, there is a need to be able to discern scholarly from unscholarly, deceptive, and/or predatory journals. Predatory journals are not expected among highly ranked journals in reputable databases. SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), which ranks journals into four quartiles (Q1–Q4), acts as a whitelist or safelist for journal selection. Q1 SJR-ranked journals are likely not “predatory.” An artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool Academic Journal Predatory Checking (AJPC) system launched in February 2023 claims to differentiate suspected predatory journals (SPJs) from normal journals. AJPC system classified, in a 2 June 2023 assessment, 27 (or 42%) of the 64 Q1 SJR-ranked library and information science journals, most (48%) published by Taylor & Francis, as SPJs. This output is unlikely to be accurate (or is likely to be inaccurate) and may suggest that this free online AI-driven tool, whose output can be independently verified by anybody, may be providing erroneous output, and thus misleading information.
La liberté à corps perdu
Authors: Hétier Renaud 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
La liberté a été assez largement réduite, dans la modernité occidentale, à une occurrence individualiste. C’est la liberté de l’individu « face au monde » et eu égard aux autres dont il s’agit surtout. Notre propos consistera en une critique de cette idée, au profit d’une compréhension relationnelle de la liberté. Il apparaîtra que nous avons besoin de soutien mutuel pour être et rester libre et que, à l’heure de l’Anthropocène, c’est la Terre qui nous soutient qui a elle aussi besoin de toute notre attention, sans quoi les conditions de la liberté pourraient être très compromises.
Research on WPD and DBSCAN-L-ISOMAP for circuit fault feature extraction
Authors: Zhang Yu , Cheng Zhonghua , Lian Guangyao , Dong Enzhi , Wu Zhenghao , Zhao Runze 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
To solve the problem of feature extraction in electronic circuits due to the nonstationary and nonlinear characteristics of fault signals, a fault feature extraction method for electronic circuits is proposed, which combines wavelet packet analysis and an improved landmark ISOMAP mapping algorithm. The wavelet packet technology is used to decompose and reconstruct the fault feature signals at multiple levels. The extracted wavelet entropy is used to construct the feature vector matrix. The density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) clustering algorithm is used to calculate and screen the landmark points. The improved landmark ISOMAP is used to embed the high-dimensional fault feature parameter set into the low-dimensional eigenspace, extract the low-dimensional and sensitive fault feature subset, and apply the support vector machine to identify the fault. The fault diagnosis experiment of the three-phase VIENNA rectifier shows that compared with the principal component analysis method, the traditional ISOMAP method, and the landmark ISOMAP method, the landmark ISOMAP method based on DBSCAN clustering algorithm extracts the fault signal characteristics of electronic equipment more easily.
Die Wirkung der Gaspreisbremse auf Inflation und fiskalische Kosten: eine Abschätzung
Authors: Garnadt Niklas , Nöh Lukas , Salzmann Leonard , Schaffranka Claudia 
Published: July 2023

Zusammenfassung
Kann die Gaspreisbremse die Inflation wirksam dämpfen? Welche fiskalischen Kosten wirft ihr Einsatz auf? Antworten auf diese Fragen sind wichtig für die Finanzplanung des Bundes sowie für geldpolitische Entscheidungen. Doch die seit dem Jahr 2021 sehr hohe Volatilität der Spot- und Futures-Preise im Energiegroßhandel sowie die spärlichen Informationen über die Überwälzung der Großhandelspreise auf die Endkundenpreise erschweren präzise Schätzungen. Insbesondere stehen kaum öffentliche Informationen über die Vertragsstruktur der Endkunden sowie die Beschaffungsstrategien der Versorgungsunternehmen zur Verfügung. Um die möglichen Inflationseffekte sowie die fiskalischen Kosten der Gaspreisbremse abzuschätzen, treffen wir eine Reihe konkreter Annahmen über die Beschaffungsstrategien und die Vertragsstruktur. Es zeigt sich, dass der Einsatz der Gaspreisbremse die Inflation im Jahr 2023 um 0,25 bis 0,4 Prozentpunkte dämpfen könnte. Bei den fiskalischen Wirkungen ergeben sich für das Jahr 2023 Kosten von rund 15 Milliarden Euro.
Role of the basal ganglia in innate and learned behavioural sequences
Authors: Favila Natalia , Gurney Kevin , Overton Paul G. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Integrating individual actions into coherent, organised behavioural units, a process called chunking, is a fundamental, evolutionarily conserved process that renders actions automatic. In vertebrates, evidence points to the basal ganglia – a complex network believed to be involved in action selection – as a key component of action sequence encoding, although the underlying mechanisms are only just beginning to be understood. Central pattern generators control many innate automatic behavioural sequences that form some of the most basic behaviours in an animal’s repertoire, and in vertebrates, brainstem and spinal pattern generators are under the control of higher order structures such as the basal ganglia. Evidence suggests that the basal ganglia play a crucial role in the concatenation of simpler behaviours into more complex chunks, in the context of innate behavioural sequences such as chain grooming in rats, as well as sequences in which innate capabilities and learning interact such as birdsong, and sequences that are learned from scratch, such as lever press sequences in operant behaviour. It has been proposed that the role of the striatum, the largest input structure of the basal ganglia, might lie in selecting and allowing the relevant central pattern generators to gain access to the motor system in the correct order, while inhibiting other behaviours. As behaviours become more complex and flexible, the pattern generators seem to become more dependent on descending signals. Indeed, during learning, the striatum itself may adopt the functional characteristics of a higher order pattern generator, facilitated at the microcircuit level by striatal neuropeptides.
Laboratory Small-Strain Stiffness Measurement Using Distributed Acoustic Sensing

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This article introduces a novel method for measuring the small-strain stiffness of materials at the laboratory scale using the emerging technology of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). This setup involves modifying the traditional free-free resonant column test by wrapping the DAS fiber optic cable around the sample. Tests are conducted using both active and passive sources. Sample resonances measured by DAS demonstrate a high degree of consistency with conventional accelerometer, indicating that DAS is accurate and reliable at the kilohertz scale. To extract the sample resonant frequency from passive sources in laboratory environments (such as cooling fan noise, mixer vibrations, and manual tamping procedure), the auto-correlation method is employed to enhance the amplitude spectrum’s signal-to-noise ratio. The measured transverse resonance excited by passive sources aligns well with that measured under active sources, suggesting the potential for using nonstationary ambient vibrations for long-term monitoring. The study also reveals that impulse-like forces are more suitable for exciting distinguishable resonant frequency compared to continuous but weak ambient vibrations. In a benchmark study, the repeatability of DAS measurements is verified using fabricated samples with known and stable stiffness. The measured constrained and shear moduli are found to be consistent among DAS, accelerometer, and ground-truth values, confirming the robustness and accuracy of the DAS-based free-free resonance column test. To further demonstrate the practical application of the proposed DAS-based system, a 28-day monitoring of cement-stabilized soil is conducted. The small-strain stiffness evolution is successfully captured by DAS, with marginal differences between measurements under active and passive sources. This outcome highlights the potential quality assurance scenarios for DAS because of its distributed properties and rapid data acquisition capabilities.

Published: July 2023

During the first two postnatal weeks, intraneuronal chloride concentrations in rodents gradually decrease, causing a shift from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing GABA responses. The postnatal GABA shift is delayed in rodent models for neurodevelopmental disorders and in human patients, but the impact of a delayed GABA shift on the developing brain remains obscure. Here we examine the direct and indirect consequences of a delayed postnatal GABA shift on network development in organotypic hippocampal cultures made from 6- to 7-d-old mice by treating the cultures for 1 week with VU0463271, a specific inhibitor of the chloride exporter KCC2. We verified that VU treatment delayed the GABA shift and kept GABA signaling depolarizing until DIV9. We found that the structural and functional development of excitatory and inhibitory synapses at DIV9 was not affected after VU treatment. In line with previous studies, we observed that GABA signaling was already inhibitory in control and VU-treated postnatal slices. Surprisingly, 14 d after the VU treatment had ended (DIV21), we observed an increased frequency of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents in CA1 pyramidal cells, while excitatory currents were not changed. Synapse numbers and release probability were unaffected. We found that dendrite-targeting interneurons in the stratum radiatum had an elevated resting membrane potential, while pyramidal cells were less excitable compared with control slices. Our results show that depolarizing GABA signaling does not promote synapse formation after P7, and suggest that postnatal intracellular chloride levels indirectly affect membrane properties in a cell-specific manner.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDuring brain development, the action of neurotransmitter GABA shifts from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing. This shift is a thought to play a critical role in synapse formation. A delayed shift is common in rodent models for neurodevelopmental disorders and in human patients, but its consequences for synaptic development remain obscure. Here, we delayed the GABA shift by 1 week in organotypic hippocampal cultures and carefully examined the consequences for circuit development. We find that delaying the shift has no direct effects on synaptic development, but instead leads to indirect, cell type-specific changes in membrane properties. Our data call for careful assessment of alterations in cellular excitability in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Published: July 2023

Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by the morbillivirus. According to WHO data, measles is one of the worldwide leading causes of death in children and infants. Indonesia is one of the ten countries with the most significant measles cases worldwide. Cases in Indonesia have increased due to a decrease in immunization coverage in Indonesia during the pandemic. Besides low immunization coverage, other factors that influence the incidence of measles in Indonesia are nutritional status, mother’s knowledge, and occupancy density. This study aims to analyze the risk factors of immunization status, nutritional status, Mother’s knowledge, and occupancy density for measles in Indonesia. This study used a meta-analysis method. The data sources used are Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct, from 2012-2021. The research articles found in this study are 148 articles. The report is then selected by screening to choose the year and research method and continued selection using inclusion criteria. Thus, the articles analyzed in this article are 23 research articles. The results showed that the variable immunization status, nutritional status, Mother knowledge, and occupancy density have risk factors for the incidence of measles in Indonesia. The result of measuring the pooled OR value sequentially from immunization status, nutritional status, mother’s knowledge, and occupancy density is e1.26=3.53; e0.72= 2.05; e1.36= 3.82; e1.34= 3.89. The variable with the highest risk factor value for measles incidence in Indonesia is the occupancy density, followed by the Mother’s knowledge; immunization status; and nutritional status.
