Abstract

Objective
The distinct population segment (DPS) of Yelloweye Rockfish Sebastes ruberrimus inhabiting the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin was listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2010, and a formal recovery plan for the DPS was published by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries in 2017. In this recovery plan, the biological criteria for delisting or downlisting were specified as certain levels of spawning potential ratio (SPR), a commonly used metric of equilibrium stock status for commercially exploited fishes. Although this metric can be estimated from length compositions, the combination of length data with a catch history (which was not previously available for this DPS) improves our understanding of population dynamics over time and allows us to estimate a different measure of stock status, relative (to unfished) spawning stock biomass (SSB), rather than only SPR.

Methods
To estimate relative SSB and reconstruct the historical dynamics of this DPS, we reconstructed the catch history from fisheries records, collated length data from historical and contemporary hook-and-line surveys, and fitted a data-limited version of a statistical catch-at-age model.

Result
Despite a high level of uncertainty, we estimated that Yelloweye Rockfish in Puget Sound are above 25% of unfished biomass (a reference point detailed in the recovery criteria) under the assumption of deterministic recruitment, presenting the first direct estimates of Yelloweye Rockfish population status in Puget Sound.

Conclusion
However, as informed by recent genetic studies, the DPS boundaries of ESA-listed Yelloweye Rockfish extend from South Puget Sound to Queen Charlotte Strait in British Columbia. The Canadian portion of this population is managed separately and is currently estimated to be at 32% of unfished biomass (95% quantiles = 15%–68%). Thus, the disjunction between the biological boundaries of the population and the jurisdictional boundaries between Canada and the United States presents an additional source of uncertainty in assessing recovery that must be addressed to achieve DPS-wide recovery goals.
To overstate or not to overstate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): What does Bayes tell us about CSR decoupling and firm value?

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study examines the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) decoupling on firm value across firms that understate versus overstate CSR. We also analyze the moderating impact of a firm's regulatory environment on the relationship between CSR decoupling and firm value. Using longitudinal analysis across 20 developed countries for the period 2008–2016 and employing a Bayesian item response theory method to measure CSR performance, we find that overstating CSR increases firm value whereas understating CSR decreases firm value. Our results also show that firms that overstate their CSR saw a reduction in firm value when the regulatory environment is included as a moderator.

AbstractAn in situ autogenous particle‐reinforced Ti‐2.5Zr‐2Al‐1(Si,C) titanium alloy is prepared by vacuum induction melting. The wide range of an effective strain between 0.2 and 1.2 and the corresponding microstructure are obtained by the double‐cone high‐throughput compression test and finite element simulation. The deformation mechanism diagram with strains of 0.2–1.2 and strain rates of 0.7–1.5 s−1 at 900°C is constructed. When the strain rate is 1.3 s−1, dynamic recovery occurs in the small strain range (<0.377), dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurs in the medium strain range (0.377–1.182), and deformation instability occurs in the large strain range (>1.182), resulting in the deformation bands. High‐angle annular dark field and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to determine the existence of bimodal particle distribution, namely micron‐scale TiC particles and nano‐scale Ti5Si3 and (Zr, Si) particles. The average radius of the (Zr, Si) nanoparticles measured by small angle neutron scattering is 19.3 nm, and the volume fraction is 0.35%. DRX grains with an average size of 0.49 μm are obtained at 900°C, strain rate of 1.3 s−1, and strain of about 0.6. Micron‐scale particles stimulated DRX nucleation, while nanoscale particles hindered the growth of new grains, resulting in grain refinement.

AbstractLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related deaths worldwide. DNA methylation has been recognized as a potential biomarker for lung cancer diagnosis. Most reported DNA methylation biomarkers focus on promoter regions, leaving enhancer regions largely unexplored. Here, we employed multiomics data to identify DNA methylation biomarkers for non‐small‐cell lung cancer diagnosis. Especially, we linked enhancers to their target genes using long‐range chromatin interactions for biomarker prediction. We discovered two sets of DNA methylation biomarkers: one in promoter regions and another in enhancer regions. Both achieved extremely high sensitivity and specificity in five independent validation data sets. Compared with three other reported biomarker sets, both groups in our study demonstrated better and more robust classification performance in validation data sets. These novel DNA methylation biomarkers may improve lung cancer screening and ultimately contribute to improved clinical outcomes for patients. To our best knowledge, this is the first time to introduce chromatin interactions to link enhancers to their targets for biomarker study, highlighting the potential of enhancer methylation as a complement to current promoter‐based DNA methylation biomarkers. Our approach may have potential applications for other cancer types and could be a valuable direction for future research in the field of cancer biomarker discovery.

Published: September 2023

AbstractObjectiveAim of this study was to assess the cost‐effectiveness and cost‐utility of mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone in adults with Bipolar disorder (BD).MethodsAn economic evaluation with a time horizon of 15 months was conducted from a societal perspective. Outcomes were expressed in costs per quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and costs per responder using the inventory of depressive symptomatology clinician rating score.ResultsPeople with BD (N = 144) were included in this study. From a societal perspective, the difference of total costs between MBCT + TAU and TAU was €615, with lower costs in the MBCT + TAU group. Only healthcare costs differed significantly between the two groups. A small difference in QALYs in favor of MBCT + TAU was found combined with lower costs (−€836; baseline adjusted) for MBCT + TAU compared to TAU, resulting in a dominant incremental cost‐utility ratio. The probability that the MBCT + TAU was cost‐effective was 65%. All sensitivity analyses attested to the robustness of the base case analyses.ConclusionConcludingly, MBCT + TAU seems to be cost‐effective compared to TAU alone, indicated by a small or neglectable difference in effect, in favor of MBCT + TAU, while resulting in lower costs.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe numerical manifold method (NMM) has been widely utilized to solve problems involving complicated boundaries, cracks, and interfaces. Recently, strain or gradient smoothing techniques have been incorporated into NMM to improve its performance. The resulting smoothed NMMs (SNMMs) normally possess enhanced numerical properties, for example, higher accuracy, convergence, and efficiency. A challenging issue rooted in NMM and other enhanced finite element methods using unfitted meshes is the ill‐conditioning induced by extremely small cut element. In this study, we investigate the behaviors of SNMMs in the case of small cut element. It is demonstrated that the cut‐induced ill‐conditionings also exist for two types of SNMMs, namely, edge‐based SNMM and physical‐patch‐based SNMM. Furthermore, a preconditioner based on the normalization of basis functions is proposed to resolve the ill‐conditioning. Several benchmark problems demonstrate the performances of SNMMs regarding accuracy, convergence, and stability.
Stochastic deconvolution of wall statistics in Reynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes simulations based on one‐dimensional turbulence
Authors: Glawe Christoph , Klein Marten , Schmidt Heiko 
Published: September 2023

AbstractReynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes simulation (RaNS) is state‐of‐the‐art for numerical analysis of complex flows at high Reynolds number. Standalone RaNS may yield a reasonable estimate of the wall‐shear stress and turbulent drag if a proper wall‐function is prescribed, but detailed turbulence statistics cannot be obtained, especially at the wall. This lack in modeling is addressed here by a stochastic deconvolution strategy based on a stochastic one‐dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. Here, a one‐way coupling strategy is proposed in which a forcing term is computed from the balanced RaNS solution that is in turn utilized in the ODT model. The temporally developing ODT solution exhibits turbulent perturbations but relaxes toward the local RaNS solution due to resolved molecular‐diffusive processes. It is demonstrated that the approach is able to recover the distribution of positive wall‐shear stress fluctuations in turbulent channel flow. When formulated as post‐processing tool, it is suggested that RaNS can be enhanced by ODT providing economical means for local high‐fidelity numerical modeling based on a low‐fidelity flow solution.
A data generation approach for surrogate models for magneto‐static simulations

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we propose an efficient numerical scheme for the prediction of the magnetic stray fields in two‐dimensional random microheterogeneous materials. Since data‐driven models require thousands of training datasets, Finite Element Method simulations appear to be too time consuming. Therefore, a stochastic model based on Brownian motion, which uses an efficient evaluation of stochastic transition matrices, is used as a Poisson solver to generate training data.
Influence of carbon fiber nickel electroplating on the electromagnetic interference shielding and mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 composites

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis article investigates the use of nickel electroplated carbon fiber (Ni‐CF) fabric to enhance the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capability of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTs), particularly for automotive and aerospace applications. The study examines the influence of nickel electroplating parameters of carbon fiber on the morphologies of carbon fiber fabrics. Ni‐CF reinforced polyamide 6 (Ni‐CF/PA 6) was prepared by the film‐stacking method. The flexural properties analysis demonstrates a 21.1% increase in flexural strength for Ni‐CF/PA 6 composites compared to as‐received carbon fiber reinforced PA 6 (CF/PA 6) composites. Additionally, the introduction of nickel layer significantly improves the EMI shielding efficiency of CF/PA 6 composites, with the average shielding efficiency increasing from 23.5 to 31.6 dB within the X‐band and Ku‐band frequency ranges. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis confirms that the nickel layer enhances the interfacial bonding between the PA 6 matrix and the Ni‐CF, which is attributed to the micro cone‐shaped structures of the nickel layer. Overall, the electroplating method effectively modifies the carbon fiber surface, resulting in composite laminates with enhanced mechanical properties and superior EMI shielding efficiency. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of advanced carbon fiber reinforced composites with improved functionalities in various applications.Highlights
The electroplating method is used to process the nickel electroplated carbon fiber fabrics.
The introduction of micro cone‐shaped structure nickel on the fiber surface by electroplating provides the mechanical interlocking between carbon fiber and matrix.
The nickel electroplated carbon fiber can significantly increase electromagnetic interference shielding capability of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.
Bystander intervention style and motivational factors influencing behavior in bullying situations
Authors: Gotdiner Vered , Gumpel Thomas P. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWhether to intervene or not during a bullying situation influences how the interaction plays out. The researchers present a theoretical model of social dominance orientation, moral disengagement, and intervention self‐efficacy vis‐à‐vis intervention behaviors. Data were collected from 284 Israeli Hebrew speaking adolescents. Participants were recruited using a snowball sampling technique. The results of structural equation modeling reveals that moral disengagement was a mediator between the association of social dominance orientation with the pro‐bully bystander and outsider behaviors. Pro‐bully bystander and victim‐defender behaviors positively influenced the outsider behavior, and self‐efficacy was related to the victim‐defender behavior. Our results expand the understanding of the relationship between bystander intervention behaviors and motivational factors.

Published: September 2023

AbstractEmpathy is a key component of socioemotional skills and contributes to prosocial responses and relational closeness. There remain challenges to accurately assess children's empathy, particularly given the reliance on external observer reports, and the lack of frameworks for how empathy may manifest differently at various developmental stages. In this study, we systematically reviewed research on the measurement of empathy in children ages 3–12. We identified 193 independent research publications reporting the use of empathy measures with children. From those, we identified 136 different empathy assessments across studies, with 66% involving rating scales and 48% involving self‐report data. We conducted a reliability generalization analysis and meta‐regression to examine the psychometric properties of empathy measures for children. We then discuss implications and recommendations for future research.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare Asian American (AA) to non‐Hispanic White (NHW) cancer patients regarding biopsychosocial distress and requests for psychological assistance.MethodsThis retrospective study included 5627 eligible patients, newly diagnosed with cancer, who completed the 30‐item SupportScreen® survey of biopsychosocial distress. The top 10 sources of high distress were assessed. Distress domains (Emotional, Physical/Functional, and Practical) were examined by race/ethnicity. Requests for psychological assistance were also explored by ethnic groups.ResultsOverall, the top 10 sources of high distress were similar between groups and approximately half consisted of concerns regarding physical symptoms. All patients preferred “talking” as their method of receiving assistance for these items. Ratings of emotional, practical, and physical/functional distress were similar between AA and NHW patients. However, AAs (vs. NHWs) requested more assistance regarding physical/functional and practical distress. No difference was observed between these two groups regarding requests for emotional support.ConclusionsOverall, our study suggests that healthcare providers should be aware of the physical and practical needs of AA cancer patients and provide culturally sensitive care that addresses these needs.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn recent years, plasma biomedicine has developed into a new interdisciplinary subject. The interaction between plasma and organisms involves three aspects: “gas–liquid–living organisms.” Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation can simulate the interaction process between plasma and biological tissue with high temporal and spatial resolution. This article reviews the research on plasma biomedicine based on MD simulation and systematically summarizes the progress of MD simulation research on the interaction between plasma and water layer, cell membrane, intracellular substances, extracellular environment, and viruses. These simulations offer a unique opportunity to gain insights into the microscopic mechanisms of these interactions. This article also further looks forward to the opportunities and challenges of MD simulation research.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions of the child‐ and parent‐report cystic fibrosis questionnaire‐revised (CFQ‐R).MethodsA Spanish adaptation of the CFQ‐R was performed; 68 children with CF (6−13 years) and their parents completed the child‐ and parent‐report CFQ‐R, respectively, and the Revidierter KINDer Lebensqualitätsfragebogen (KINDL) questionnaire. The CFQ‐R was completed twice, 7−10 days apart, and its psychometric properties were analyzed.ResultsThe internal consistency of both CFQ‐R versions was adequate (child‐report version, Cronbach's α >.60 for all domains except “Treatment Burden” [α = .42] and “Social Functioning” [α = .57]; parent‐report version, α > .60 for all domains except “Social Functioning” [α = .58]). For the child‐report version, the lowest measurement error was for “Emotional Functioning” (standard error of measurement [SEM]: 8.3%; minimal detectable change [MDC90]: 19.3%), and the highest was for “Body Image” (SEM: 15%; MDC90: 35%). For the parent‐report version, the lowest measurement error was for “Physical Functioning” (SEM: 7.1%; MDC90: 16.5%), and the highest was for “Weight” (SEM: 17.2%; MDC90; 40.1%). The correlation between the versions showed higher agreement for the domains related to observable signs (“Physical Functioning”) and lower agreement for “Emotional Functioning.” There was a significant correlation between the CFQ‐R and KINDL.ConclusionBoth the child‐ and parent‐report versions of the Spanish CFQ‐R have adequate reliability and validity for clinical and research purposes. These versions can be administered before and after starting modulator therapy to assess its effect on daily functioning. The MDC90 can help identify, with a high probability, whether real changes have occurred in the quality‐of‐life subscales in children with CF.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe number of children on home invasive mechanical ventilation (HIMV) has been increasing because it is a cost‐effective strategy, the developments in technological tools, and its psychological and developmental advantages. Therefore, healthcare providers should be familiar with the follow‐up of these patients after hospital discharge. This review will highlight the important points to be aware of during home care of children on HIMV, emphasizing the frequency of scheduled hospital visits after hospital discharge, recognizing adverse events related to HIMV, and ensuring the continued care of these children in areas such as vaccination, and performing appropriate tests in the follow‐up.
Model‐based assessment of neutrophil‐mediated phagocytosis and digestion of bacteria across in vitro and in vivo studies

Published: September 2023

AbstractNeutrophil granulocytes are key components of the host response against pathogens, and severe neutropenia, with neutrophil counts below 0.5 × 106 cells/mL, renders patients increasingly vulnerable to infections. Published in vitro (n = 7) and in vivo (n = 5) studies with time‐course information on bacterial and neutrophil counts were digitized to characterize the kinetics of neutrophil‐mediated bacterial killing and inform on the immune systems' contribution to the clearance of bacterial infections. A mathematical model for the in vitro dynamics of bacteria and the kinetics of neutrophil‐mediated phagocytosis and digestion was developed, which was extended to in vivo studies in immune‐competent and immune‐compromised mice. Neutrophil‐mediated bacterial killing was described by two first‐order processes—phagocytosis and digestion—scaled by neutrophil concentration, where 50% of the maximum was achieved at neutrophil counts of 1.19 × 106 cells/mL (phagocytosis) and 6.55 × 106 cells/mL (digestion). The process efficiencies diminished as the phagocytosed bacteria to total neutrophils ratio increased (with 50% reduction at a ratio of 3.41). Neutrophil in vivo dynamics were captured through the characterization of myelosuppressive drug effects and postinoculation neutrophil influx into lungs and by system differences (27% bacterial growth and 9.3% maximum capacity, compared with in vitro estimates). Predictions showed how the therapeutically induced reduction of neutrophil counts enabled bacterial growth, especially when falling below 0.5 × 106 cells/mL, whereas control individuals could deal with all tested bacterial burdens (up to 109 colony forming units/g lung). The model‐based characterization of neutrophil‐mediated bacterial killing simultaneously predicted data across in vitro and in vivo studies and may be used to inform the capacity of host–response at the individual level.
