Published: August 2023

AbstractSiC ceramic lattice structures (CLSs) via additive manufacturing (AM) have been recognized as potential candidates in engineering fields owing to their various merits. Compared with traditional SiC CLSs, SiC triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) CLSs could possess more outstanding properties, making them more promising for wider applications. Since SiC CLSs are hard to be fabricated through stereolithography techniques because of inferior light performance, the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process via selective sintering is an effective method to prepare near‐net‐shaped SiC TPMS lattices. As the mechanical performances of lattice structures are the foundation for future practical applications, it is of great significance to optimize the preparation process, thus improving the mechanical properties of SiC TPMS structures. In this work, the optimal printing parameters of the LPBF and liquid silicon infiltration process for SiC ceramic TPMS CLSs with three different volume fractions were systematically illustrated and analyzed. The effects of the printing parameters and carbon densities on the fabrication accuracy, microstructure, and mechanical performance of SiC TPMS CLSs were defined. The mechanism of the reactive sintering process for the SiC TPMS lattice structure was revealed. The results reveal that Si/SiC TPMS CLSs with optimum preparation have superior manufacturing accuracy (most less than 6%), relatively high bulk densities (about 2.75 g/cm3), low residual Si content (6.01%), and excellent mechanical properties (5.67, 15.4, and 44.0 MPa for Si/SiC TPMS CLSs with 25%, 40%, and 55% volume fractions, respectively).
Maternal engagement, relational closeness, and adolescent internalizing symptoms: The association of engaged mothering with adolescent depression and anxiety

Published: August 2023

AbstractPrevalence rates of anxiety and depression have increased among adolescents in recent years. The etiology of these internalizing symptoms is complex, but mothers can play a role in the mental health of their adolescent children. Using data from Year 15 of the fragile families and child well‐being study, we analyzed associations between adolescent‐reported maternal engagement, mother–adolescent relationship closeness, and adolescent depression and anxiety in a sample of 3146 mother–adolescent dyads. Using structural equation modeling, the four areas of engagement, closeness, anxiety, and depression were all modeled as latent variables to test the associations between these constructs. Higher levels of maternal engagement were significantly associated with higher levels of closeness between mother and adolescent, and higher levels of closeness were significantly associated with adolescents' lower levels of both depression and anxiety. Bootstrapped indirect effects were identified. Implications and future directions are discussed.
Optimal Forbearance of Bank Resolution
Authors: SCHILLING LINDA M. 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes a regulator's optimal strategic delay of resolving banks when the regulator's announcement of the intervention delay endogenously affects the depositors' run propensity. Given intervention, the regulator either liquidates the remaining illiquid assets (“prompt corrective action”) or continues managing the assets at a reduced skill level (“resolution under receivership”). In either case, I show that if the regulator tolerates fewer withdrawals until intervention, the depositors may react by preempting the regulator: they run on the bank more often ex ante. A policy of never intervening can leave the bank more stable than a conservative intervention policy.
Cultural and economic integration of immigrant minorities: Analytical framework and policy implications
Authors: Gradstein Mark , Justman Moshe 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe cultural diversity that new immigrants bring to the host economy is potentially beneficial for the productivity of both immigrants and natives, but immigrants must assimilate to some extent for these benefits to be realized. In general, immigrants assimilate more slowly than natives would like, as they ignore the external material benefits of assimilation for natives and their resistance to foreign cultural influences. We develop a formal framework that highlights the complementarity between immigrants' cultural assimilation, economic integration, and investment in human capital, indicating the scope for mutually beneficial policies, offering immigrants material incentives to assimilate more rapidly.
Free riding on short‐time work allowances? Results from an experimental survey design
Authors: Bossler Mario , Osiander Christopher , Schmidtke Julia , Trappmann Mark 
Published: August 2023

AbstractShort‐time work (STW) is a policy measure whose prominence increases during economic crises and is intended to stabilize the labor market. Employers can temporarily reduce employees' working hours, which are in turn paid by the social security system in the meantime. Although short‐time work—by design—saves employers a fraction of their wage costs, little is known about free riding behavior when using this option. Accordingly, we analyze the employee‐reported free riding experience with respect to longer actual working hours than accounted for in employees' short‐time work allowances, the unchanged workloads experienced by these employees, and announced lay‐off decisions. Since these questions are certainly sensitive, we employ the crosswise model, a privacy‐preserving technique, in a random half of the sample. Our results show significant employee‐reported prevalences across all dimensions and a significant association between free riding and workers' job dissatisfaction. These findings thus highlight the importance of the crosswise model in uncovering these findings and demonstrate a specific drawback in the application of short‐time work.
The Nothing of Mallarmé with the Anxiety of Heidegger
Authors: Marion Jean‐Luc 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this short essay, Jean‐Luc Marion pays fitting homage to Pierre Cahné by reading Stephen Mallarmé's “With her pure nails offering their onyx high, …/Ses pur ongles très haut dédiant leur onyx, …” sonnet of 1887 with Martin Heidegger's phenomenological concept of anxiety. On the speculative hypothesis that Mallarmé and Heidegger encounter the same phenomenon, as void and anxiety respectively, Marion stages an indirect meeting between the poet and the philosopher. This essay asks simply “what does the poet see that the philosopher does not?” and, inversely, “what does the philosopher understand that the poet does not?” In doing so, Marion approaches a synthesis of the two perspectives: reading Mallarmé and Heidegger side by side allows one to see, like the poet, and to understand, like the philosopher, the same phenomenon. Through a close engagement with the finely balanced internal structure of the sonnet, alongside Heidegger's phenomenological descriptions, Marion shows how the inner reflection of the sonnet stages, poetically, the Nothing that Heidegger's fundamental mood of anxiety discloses, pulling each in directions neither alone would follow.

Published: August 2023

AbstractIn most developed countries, cervical cancer screening and human papillomavirus vaccination have reduced cervical cancer incidence. However, the incidence has been increasing in Japan, possibly because of the low screening rate. Although cervical cancer incidence has increased in people in their 20s, the screening rate among 20–24‐year‐olds in Japan is only 10.2%, meaning that cervical cancer screening rates should be increased among young Japanese women. We conducted a questionnaire survey among students at health sciences universities to determine their knowledge of cervical cancer, screening rates, and barriers to screening. Students taking specialized medical courses were highly knowledgeable; recognition of the facts that “cervical cancer can be prevented through screening” and that “the risk of cervical cancer increases in one's 20s” was significantly high among those who underwent screening. On the other hand, only 7.5% of students used the free coupons provided for screening. Knowledge of cervical cancer improves screening rates. Therefore, educational programs to raise awareness of the importance of cervical cancer screening among non‐medical and health sciences university students and young women in general are required.

Published: August 2023

AbstractOptimal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality and shorter scan time are challenging to achieve in veterinary practices. Recently, deep learning‐based reconstruction (DLR) has been proposed for ideal image quality. We hypothesized that DLR‐based MRI will improve brain imaging quality and reduce scan time. This prospective, methods comparison study compared the MR image denoising performances of DLR and conventional methods, with the aim of reducing scan time and improving canine brain image quality. Transverse T2‐weighted and fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences of the brain were performed in 12 clinically healthy beagle dogs. Different numbers of excitations (NEX) were used to obtain the image groups NEX4, NEX2, and NEX1. DLR was applied to NEX2 and NEX1 to obtain NEX2DL and NEX1DL. The scan times were recorded, signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR) were calculated for quantitative analysis. Five blinded veterinarians assessed the overall quality, contrast, and perceived SNR on four‐point Likert scales. Quantitative and qualitative values were compared among the five groups. Compared with NEX4, NEX2 and NEX1 reduced scan time by 50% and 75%, respectively. The mean SNR and CNR of NEX2DL and NEX1DL were significantly superior to those of NEX4, NEX2, and NEX1 (P < 0.05). In all image quality indices, DLR‐applied images for both T2‐weighted and FLAIR images were significantly higher than NEX4 and NEX2DL had significantly better quality than NEX1DL for FLAIR (P < 0.05). Findings indicated that DLR reduced scan time and improved image quality compared with conventional MRI images in a sample of clinically healthy beagles.

AbstractA geriatric dog presented for lethargy, dyspnea, and urinary incontinence. Thoracic radiographs demonstrated a large, mixed fat, and soft tissue opaque axillary mass and a pulmonary mass. Computed tomography (CT) further characterized these masses and revealed innumerable fat‐attenuating hepatic masses and cranial mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Histopathology of the axillary and hepatic masses confirmed grade two primary axillary liposarcoma with hepatic metastasis. Cytology of the pulmonary mass was consistent with a pulmonary carcinoma. This is the first published CT description of fat‐attenuating metastatic hepatic liposarcoma in a dog.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe toxicity criteria of the veterinary radiation therapy oncology group (VRTOG) version 2 guidelines are a substantial update to reflect significant advances in radiation oncology over the last three decades. Radiation therapy techniques provide precise and spatially accurate radiation delivery, which facilitates treating tumors in more anatomic locations and incorporating hypofractionated protocols. The purpose of this update is to aid radiation oncology teams in capturing and grading clinically relevant data that impacts the decision‐making process in everyday practice and the assessment of clinical trials involving radiation therapy. A dedicated committee initially updated the criteria to include more anatomical sites and grades to characterize a broad spectrum of possible radiation‐induced acute and late tissue changes. Through the revision process, which solicited and incorporated feedback from all radiation oncologists within the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR) and specialists outside the ACVR, the authors endeavored to create a grading structure reflective of clinical decision‐making in daily radiation oncology. The updated VRTOG v2 toxicity criteria guideline complements the updated Veterinary Cooperative Oncology Group‐Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (VCOG‐CTCAE v2) guidelines. Because radiation oncology continues to progress rapidly, the VRTOG toxicity criteria should be regularly updated as adverse event data that will be collected following this update further informs the practice of radiation oncology.
Thurston norm and Euler classes of tight contact structures
Authors: Sivek Steven , Yazdi Mehdi 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBill Thurston proved that taut foliations of hyperbolic 3‐manifolds have Euler classes of norm at most one, and conjectured that any integral second cohomology class of norm equal to one is realized as the Euler class of some taut foliation. Recent work of the second author, joint with David Gabai, has produced counterexamples to this conjecture. Since tight contact structures exist whenever taut foliations do and their Euler classes also have norm at most one, it is natural to ask whether the Euler class one conjecture might still be true for tight contact structures. In this paper, we show that the previously constructed counterexamples for Euler classes of taut foliations in Mehdi Yazdi [Acta Math. 225 (2020) no. 2, 313–368] are in fact realized as Euler classes of tight contact structures. This provides some evidence for the Euler class one conjecture for tight contact structures.
Employment of Free Packages for MT-InSAR Approaches to Verify the Subsidence Event over Maceió City, Brazil

Published: August 2023

Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR) technique employs a Multi-Temporal InSAR (MT-InSAR) approach to accurately measure subsidence. This technique, a type of Differential Interferometry (DInSAR), mitigates errors that traditional DInSAR techniques cannot, including temporal and geometric decorrelation, and phase unwrapping errors. In order to verify the subsidence process in the Pinheiro neighborhood of Maceio - Brazil following a 2018 earthquake, we tested free processing packages such as SNAP-StaMPS integration. Our investigation was conducted in two stages: first, using a stack of Sentinel-1A SLCSAR (Single Look Complex-SAR) images acquired before and after the earthquake, and second, using more recent images to determine if the subsidence process is ongoing. Results from the first stage identified the area affected by subsidence and the second stage confirmed the continued presence of subsidence events. From 2017 to 2018, the subsidence process exhibited the highest displacement amplitude of -32.3 mm/year, whereas, between 2021 and 2022, the amplitude decreased to -24.09 mm/year, indicating a deceleration in the subsidence process.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article explores the performance of different commercial piston rings when matched with a boron-phosphorus (BP) alloy cast iron cylinder liner, specifically in high-power density diesel engines. The focus is on the friction, wear, and scuffing characteristics. An interrupted wear test was conducted under lean oil conditions to study the scuffing behavior of plated Cr-diamonds coating (GDC) and diamond-like carbon coating (DLC). The findings reveal that DLC coatings exhibit superior tribological properties, displaying low friction coefficients and wear loss at temperatures of 150 °C and 240 °C. In contrast, GDC coatings demonstrate relatively poor performance. Additionally, the DLC coating demonstrates excellent scuffing resistance, as no material transfer was observed for up to 77 min, even without lubrication. The interrupted scuffing test reveals that the scuffing process undergoes a stable wear stage, followed by a sudden drop and subsequent increase in friction force, ultimately resulting in scuffing when the BP cylinder is paired with GDC. On the other hand, although the frictional force of DLC initially increases after a brief decline, no significant adhesive wear is observed. This can be attributed to the formation of a tribo-chemical layer of carbides, which effectively prevents scuffing. In comparison to traditional methods of postwear morphology and analysis, our proposed interrupted scuffing tests offer enhanced capabilities for evaluating the wear condition of friction pairs at various time intervals during the oil depletion process. This novel approach introduces a new paradigm for investigating wear patterns in different friction pairs.
Mouth Rinsing and Ingestion of Unpleasant Salty or Bitter Solutions Does Not Improve Cycling Sprint Performance in Trained Cyclists
Authors: Gray Edward A. , Cavaleri Rocco , Siegler Jason C. 
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of mouth rinsing and ingesting unpleasant salty or bitter solutions on cycling sprint performance and knee extensor force characteristics. Eleven male and one female trained cyclists (age: 34 ± 9 years, maximal oxygen uptake 56.9 ± 3.9 ml·kg−1·min−1) completed a ramp test and familiarization followed by four experimental trials. In each trial, participants completed an all-out 30-s cycling sprint with knee extensor maximal voluntary contractions before and immediately after the sprint. In a randomized, counterbalanced, cross-over order, the four main trials were: a no solution control condition, water, salty (5.8%), or bitter (2 mM quinine) solutions that were mouth rinsed (10 s) and ingested immediately before the cycling sprint. There were no significant differences between conditions in mean power (mean ± SD, no solution: 822 ± 115 W, water: 818 ± 108 W, salt: 832 ± 111 W, bitter: 818 ± 105 W); peak power (no solution: 1,184 ± 205 W, water: 1,177 ± 207 W, salt: 1,195 ± 210 W, bitter: 1,184 ± 209 W); or fatigue index (no solution: 51.5% ± 5.7%, water: 50.8% ± 7.0%, salt: 51.1% ± 5.9%, bitter: 51.2% ± 7.1%) during the sprint. Maximal force and impulse declined postexercise; however, there were no significant differences between conditions in knee extensor force characteristics. The present data do not support the use of unpleasant salty or bitter solutions as an ergogenic aid to improve sprint exercise performance.

Published: August 2023

Context: This study investigated individual sociocognitive factors from the theory of planned behavior and their relationship to exercise for postconcussion recovery. Design and Methods: Four hundred and fifty-nine Australian adults, two-thirds of whom had no concussion history (66%), completed an online survey of their beliefs and attitudes toward exercise for postconcussion recovery. Secondary questions evaluated program design features that could affect engagement (eg, session frequency). Results: Structured equation modeling found that subjective norms were the strongest significant predictor of intention to participate in exercise for postconcussion recovery. Perceived behavioral control was also a significant predictor of intention to participate but to a lesser extent. Attitude did not predict participation intention. The design features identified as key were personalization and being supervised during the program. Conclusions: This study found that people’s intention to participate in a program of exercise postconcussion recovery is shaped by individual psychological factors and identified program design features that could be adjusted for increased engagement. Program success could be maximized through strategies such as supporting individuals to have a stronger sense of control over their participation through the choice of session timing or frequency and harnessing the influence of significant others via supportive messaging from key professionals.
