Published: July 2023

Understanding the interaction of the scraper chain–sprocket–tail drum–chain path is of great significance to improving the transportation efficiency and service life of the intermediate scraper conveying system of fully mechanized excavation equipment. The dynamic characteristics of the internal tension, running resistance, and multicontact interface load of the scraper chain are the theoretical basis of the research. Firstly, a method for obtaining periodic cyclic dynamic load history is proposed, and then the model of a single-chain scraper conveyor for a continuous shearer is constructed by using RecurDyn and simulation structures. Finally, the influence of parameters such as conveying inclination angle and running speed of the sleeve scraper chain on the reliable operation of the conveying system is determined. The results show that when the conveying angle is 12°, the scraper conveying system runs stably and the impact between multirigid bodies is small. As the chain speed increases from 0.85 to 2.4 m/s, the wear of the conveying system gradually increases, and the contact load distribution of upper chain plate 2, upper chain plate 3, and lower chain plate 3 is seriously worn.

Published: July 2023

Theoretical analysis of time-dependent drainage of Sisko fluid film slowly down a stationary vertical belt is presented in this paper. Employing [C. Gutfinger and J. A. Tallmadge, AIChE J. 10, 774 (1964)] approach the subsequent nonlinear partial differential equation is simplified. The Adomian decomposition method is then used to solve the simplified nonlinear partial differential equation to obtain the analytic expression for velocity. The analytic expressions for volume flow rate, shear stress, average film velocity, surface profile and film mean thickness are also derived. It is delineated that the velocity decreases by an increment in the Sisko fluid parameter and time while it increases by an increment in the fluid behavior index. The elevation of the Sisko surface profile decreases when the values of Sisko fluid parameter are increased, whereas it increases when the values of fluid behavior index and time are increased. The variable film thickness of four different lubricating greases is estimated by using experimental values of material constants and fluid behavior index [A. W. Sisko, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 50, 1789 (1958) and M. A. Delgado et al., Chem. Eng. Process. 44, 805 (2005)]. Furthermore, the flow variables studied for the Sisko fluid are also studied for the Newtonian fluid, and comparisons between both are provided.
Graphene dot-embedded porous WO3 photoanode for highly efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting
Authors: Xu Zhenyan , Zhao Xianfeng , Yan Xiao Xu , Lu Huidan , Liu Yongping 
Published: July 2023

The development of semiconductor photoanodes with improved photoelectrochemical (PEC) efficiency and stability for the purpose of realizing solar water splitting is a crucial challenge that carries substantial practical implications. In this study, GQDs/WO3 composite porous photoanodes were fabricated using a pulsed anodization method in an aqueous electrolyte containing hydroxyl GQDs. The morphology and crystal structure of the as-prepared GQDs/WO3 porous films were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, Raman spectra, and FTIR. The successful embedding of GQDs into the WO3 walls to form tightly bound heterojunctions was confirmed. It was investigated how the GQD content influenced the photoelectrochemical properties of the GQDs/WO3 heterojunctions. The optimal photocurrent densities observed in the GQDs/WO3 samples (10-WO3) were found to be three times higher compared to those obtained from pure WO3 porous films. This significant enhancement clearly indicates the positive impact of GQDs on the PEC performance. The boosted PEC activity of the GQDs/WO3 heterojunction photoanode was attributed to the fact that the introduction of GQDs promotes more efficient light absorption, charge separation, and transport processes within the heterojunction structure. Moreover, the GQDs/WO3 composites photoelectrodes exhibited excellent PEC stability, predicting its enormous potential for practical applications.
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Excision for Trigger Finger – A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: CROUCH Gareth , XU Joshua , GRAHAM David J. , SIVAKUMAR Brahman S. 
Published: July 2023

Background: Division of one or more slips of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon has been posited as an effective surgical modality for advanced or recurrent trigger finger. This may be an effective approach among patients with diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, or in those with fixed flexion deformities who have poor outcomes from A1 pulley release alone. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of this procedure. The role of this study was to systematically review the evidence on functional outcomes and safety of partial or complete FDS resection in the management of trigger finger. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL and Ovid Medline databases were electronically queried from their inception until February 2022. English language papers were included if they reported original data on postoperative outcomes and complications following resection of one or more slips of FDS for adult trigger finger. Results: Seven articles were eligible for inclusion, encompassing 420 fingers in 290 patients. All included studies were retrospective. Isolated ulnar slip FDS resection was the most described surgery. Mean postoperative fixed flexion deformity at the proximal interphalangeal joint was 6.0° compared to 31.5° preoperatively, and the proportion of patients with fixed flexion deformity reduced by 58%. Mean postoperative total active motion was 228.7°. Recurrence was seen in 4.7% of digits, and complications occurred in 11.2% of cases. No post-surgical ulnar drift or swan neck deformities were observed. Conclusions: FDS resection for long-standing trigger finger, or in diabetic or rheumatoid populations, is an effective and safe technique with low rates of recurrence. Prospective and comparative studies of this technique would be beneficial. Level of Evidence: Level III (Therapeutic)
East Greenland Prograded Margin and Oceanic Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element, offshore East Greenland
Authors: Fyhn Michael B. W. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The East Greenland Prograded Margin and Oceanic Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element (EGPMO CTSE) consists of the East Greenland Prograded Margin Tectonic-Sedimentary Element (TSE) and the East Greenland Oceanic (EGO) TSE located over continental and oceanic crust, respectively. The East Greenland Prograded Margin TSE (EGPM TSE) is made up of six segments, with their basal part deferring from Maastrichtian to Miocene in age. The variation reflects the different timing in transition from syn- to post-rift, controlled by the lateral migration of rifting and diachronic continental break-up in the northern North Atlantic. The post-rift history can be subdivided into a pre-break-up Maastrichtian–Paleocene post-rift phase developed entirely offshore NE Greenland and an earliest Eocene–Miocene syn- to post-break-up phase developed in the wake of progressive continental rupture. Finally, the CTSE started to develop as a unified body from Miocene time after the complete separation of Greenland from Eurasia and the Jan Mayen microcontinent. The EGO TSE has formed since the earliest Eocene commencement of seafloor spreading. The structural and depositional outline of the EGPMO CTSE depicts its tectonic history but also reflects phases of volcanism, denudation and intensified icehouse conditions since the middle Miocene that were triggered by the opening of the Fram Strait and the uplift of East Greenland. The first major northern hemisphere glaciations started in NE Greenland. Glaciations expanded southwards during the late Miocene as the Denmark Strait was transgressed and cold surface water from the high arctic started flowing along SE Greenland, cooling the region. The petroleum potential of the EGPM TSE is conceivably modest but a potential exists locally offshore northern NE Greenland where hydrocarbons sourced mainly from the Jurassic–Cretaceous section may have charged structures cored by Maastrichtian–Eocene sandstone reservoirs sealed by overlying marine mudstones.

Abstract

Different mineral clocks in granite can provide age information reflecting various aspects of rock formation, including cooling or post-emplacement fluid–rock interaction. However, the dating tool chosen can yield inconclusive age information due to differences in closure temperatures and susceptibility to fluid alteration among chronometers. This has led to an inferred superiority of U–Pb in zircon over U–Pb in monazite or Rb–Sr in mica. Here, we investigate age systematics using Rb–Sr biotite grains, U–Pb in monazite and zircon in a Devonian granite from Australia. Single-grain laser ablation ICP-MS/MS biotite analyses are combined with zircon–monazite U–Pb ages and trace element systematics. Textural and trace element evidence combined with age systematics reveals a Rb–Sr closure age of
c.
360–330 Ma relative to a putative 364 Ma emplacement age, suggesting hydrothermal alteration of the granite. Trace element systematics and magnetic susceptibility in biotite grains reflect their partial chemical reset and fluid overprint in the granite. However, similar systematics are also observed for zircon and monazite. Our multiple chronometer dating approach, studied with modern laser-ablation methods, highlights the need for detailed investigation of isotope and trace element systematics in single grains and that individual ages should be used cautiously when dating altered granitoids.
Emptying the Mind: Nothingness in Mahāyāna Buddhism and in the Chan Tradition
Authors: Wirtz Markus 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
After an introductory overview of the treatment of nothingness in Western philosophy, nothingness is addressed from the perspectives of important doctrines of Mahāyāna Buddhism, espcially the ontological concept of dependent origination (pratītya-samutpāda; yuanqi 緣起) in its interpretation by Nāgārjuna as emptiness (śūnyatā; kong 空) and the five manifestations of nothingness in the saṃbhogakāya (baoshen 報身) aspect of the trikāya (sanshen 三身). In the Chan Buddhist tradition, these crucial elements of Mahāyāna teaching have been reinterpreted as meditative tools for emptying the mind. Finally, Daoist elements of the Chan Buddhist interpretation of nothingness/ emptiness are pointed out.
Blue Cliff Record, Art of Living and Its Reception in Germany
Authors: He Teng 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In the encounter between the Western and Eastern Cultures in the 20th century, the Chinese Buddhist classic Blue Cliff Record (Biyanlu 《碧巖錄》) was widely translated in Europe, especially in Germany. In the first part, this paper introduces the various German translations as well as their translators’ evaluations and discussions of the book and Chan Buddhism. In the second part, this paper argues that Blue Cliff Record represents a dynamic ontology by interpreting the Highest Meaning. In the third part, this paper will present the self-understanding and freedom addressed in Blue Cliff Record. The paper shows that Chan Buddhism is characterized by its non-duality between convention and holiness and by the self-realization in this world.
Embodied Mind and Embodied Knowing – Xin 心 and Zhi 知 in the Book of Mencius
Authors: Yao Xinzhong 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The heart-mind (xin 心) in Mencius is not merely a rational faculty but a complex that contains such physical, psychological, physiological and spiritual concretes as reason, sentiment, feeling, experience and belief knowing, the study of which in the contemporary world would involve a number of modern disciplines including epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, ethics and education. In the context of Mencius, the mind is already embodied at birth and continues to function as the integration of intellectual and practical, physical and spiritual, and cognitive and behavioural qualities and activities. “Knowing” (zhi 知) in Mencius is an activity of the mind but it is not merely a cognitive process, and must not be confined to the epistemological field. It is enabled through preserving and nourishing the original mind by which a person comes to comprehend human nature and Heaven, and by which he or she becomes fully human. Therefore, the mind in Mencius is not a purely rational entity and the knowing is not merely an epistemic process. They can be understood only in terms of the embodied mind and the embodied knowing.
Long-Term Trends in Ice Fog Occurrence in the Fairbanks, Alaska, Region Based on Airport Observations
Authors: Hartl Lea , Schmitt Carl , Wong Telayna , Vas Dragos A. , Enterkin Lewis , Stuefer Martin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Ice fog typically occurs at temperatures below approximately −30°C. Ice fog formation and persistence are affected by atmospheric processes at different spatial and temporal scales and can be influenced by anthropogenic activities that add vapor to the near-surface atmosphere. Based on meteorological observations from Fairbanks International Airport and Eielson Air Force Base (Alaska) from 1948/49 to 2021/22, we provide an overview of general ice fog climatology at the sites, changes over time, and synoptic-scale upper-level weather patterns common during ice fog occurrence. On average, ice fog occurrence has decreased by 60%–70% over the study period (median number of ice fog days at Fairbanks airport in the period 1950/51–1979/80: 16.5; median in the period 1990/91–2019/20: 6). The average lengths of ice fog events and of the ice fog season have also decreased. Trends are not linear, and rates of change vary over time. The greatest reduction in ice fog occurred during the 1970s and 1980s. Trends in ice fog hours roughly track decreasing trends in hours with cold temperatures. However, the percentage of cold hours in which ice fog occurs has decreased since approximately the 1980s. This result suggests that local changes in air pollution or near-surface moisture may also play an important role in trends in ice fog occurrence. We use self-organizing maps to assess recurring synoptic-scale weather patterns in the upper atmosphere during ice fog conditions in Fairbanks. Ice fog is typically associated with a northerly flow or low pressure gradients over the study area.

Significance Statement
We aim to show when and how often ice fog occurs in the Fairbanks region, how this has changed over time, and what kind of larger-scale weather patterns are common during ice fog. Ice fog strongly reduces visibility and represents a hazard to aviation and other traffic. The number of ice fog hours and days per winter has decreased substantially over the 70-yr period of record. Ice fog is, on average, less persistent now than in the past. The reduction is related to fewer days with cold temperatures, but changes in air pollution and other local factors may also play an important role. Further study is needed to fully attribute the causes of the observed changes.
Microclimatic Variability of Cold-Season Minimum Temperatures in Michigan, United States: A Study with Implications for Insect Mortality

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Gridded climate datasets are used by researchers and practitioners in many disciplines, including forest ecology, agriculture, and entomology. However, such datasets are generally unable to account for microclimatic variability, particularly within sites or among individual trees. One such dataset is a recent climatology of extreme minimum temperatures in the U.S. Great Lakes region, based on the Parameter–Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) gridded temperature dataset. Development of this climatology was motivated by interest in the spatiotemporal variability of winter temperatures potentially lethal to the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) (Adelges tsugae Annand) (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), an invasive insect that causes mortality of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). In this study, cold-season daily minimum temperatures were monitored at six Michigan sites varying in latitude, elevation, Great Lakes proximity, and HWA infestation status, to address two objectives. First, we documented the spatiotemporal variability in daily minimum air temperatures recorded at multiple aspects and heights on selected hemlock trees. Second, this variability was characterized in the context of the PRISM extreme minimum temperature climatology. Tree-sensor air temperatures exhibited minimal relationships with aspect but considerable sensitivity to height. Daily minimum temperatures were higher for some tree sensors positioned ≤ 0.2 m above ground level during some time periods, with overall muted temporal variability, relative to an adjacent ambient sensor. This phenomenon was attributed to the insulating effects of snow cover, because the tree–ambient sensor temperature difference was positively correlated with snow depth. Overall, results indicate that such unresolved variability warrants consideration by gridded climate dataset users.

Objective: Spatial clustering of undervaccination leads to increased risk of vaccine-preventable diseases. We identified spatial clustering of undervaccination patterns among children aged <24 months in Montana. Methods: We used Montana’s immunization information system data to analyze deidentified vaccination records of children aged <24 months born from January 2015 through November 2017. We measured 3 outcomes that were not mutually exclusive: not completing the combined 7-vaccine series by age 24 months, having an undervaccination pattern indicative of parental hesitancy, and having an undervaccination pattern indicative of structural barriers to timely vaccination. Using geomasked residential addresses, we conducted separate Bernoulli spatial scans with a randomization P < .01 to identify spatial clusters consisting of ≥100 children for each outcome and calculated the relative risk of having the undervaccination pattern inside versus outside the cluster. Results: Of 31 201 children aged <24 months included in our study, 11 712 (37.5%) had not completed the combined 7-vaccine series by age 24 months, and we identified 5 spatial clusters of this outcome across Montana. We identified 4 clusters of undervaccination patterns indicative of parental vaccine hesitancy, all in western Montana. The cluster with the largest relative risk (2.3) had a radius of 23.7 kilometers (n = 762 children, P < .001). We also identified 4 clusters of undervaccination patterns indicative of structural barriers, with 3 of the largest clusters in eastern Montana. Conclusion: In Montana, different strategies to increase routine and timely childhood vaccination are needed in distinct areas of this large and predominantly rural state. Immunization information system data can pinpoint areas where interventions to increase vaccination uptake are needed.
