Reply to “Attempts to introduce a system of national, racial and/or ethnocultural discrimination in codes of biological nomenclature should not be tolerated: Comments on some recent proposals (Wright & Gillman, 2022, etc.)”
Authors: Wright Shane Donald , Gillman Len Norman 
Published: April 2023

AbstractSergei Mosyakin in a publication in this journal (Mosyakin, 2022) criticises our proposal (Gillman & Wright, 2020; Wright & Gillman, 2021) to introduce a system that would facilitate recognition of indigenous plant names. In particular, he contends that the proposal is discriminatory on the basis of race. We certainly do not think it would introduce such discrimination. The concept of a revised system based on chronological precedence does not in our view favour any race or ethnic grouping since it merely attributes priority for the name on the basis of temporal sequence. Our system could be used to justify priority by any people as long as it could be shown that it was the first name to apply to a particular species. It is thus dependent on the evidence relating to when a name was first used, not by whom it was first used. We also reiterate that the proposal would not usurp the science of taxonomy nor remove credit from the relevant authority.
Effect of IOF and its interaction with post‐hatch feeding procedure on hatchability, some organs development and post‐hatch performance in broiler chickens
Authors: Arevan Jafar , Sadeghi Amirali , Karimi Ahmad 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBackgroundUnder commercial conditions, chickens are fasted for the first 36 to 72 h post‐hatch. Delayed access to feed and water causes delayed development of the intestinal tract and retarded performance.ObjectivesThis study focused on the chick's life as affected by in ovo feeding (IOF) and the animal's interaction with the feeding procedure. The birds in a factorial arrangement (2 × 3) were placed into six treatment groups in a completely randomised design. The treatment groups differed in feed procedure, 6 h [early feeding (EF)] or 36 h [common feeding (CF)] post‐hatch, with or without IOF with beta‐hydroxy‐beta‐methyl butyrate (HMB) or calcium gluconate (CG) in a saline solution, and were examined for hatchability and performance parameters until 24 h post‐hatch. In addition, physical and histological characteristics of breast, jejunum and serum indices in 14 days post‐hatch and performance criteria until 35 days of age were recorded.MethodsOn day 17 of the incubation period, eggs were subjected to the IOF procedure. One mL of sterile IOF solution including 0.1% HMB or 0.4% CG dissolved in 5% saline solution was injected into the eggs.ResultsResults showed that IOF groups had lower (p < 0.05) FCR than the control group. The highest mortality rate was noted in the control‐CF group. The lowest myofibril density was related to the HMB‐CF group. Myofibril periphery, area and diameter for the HMB‐CF group were larger (p < 0.05) than those of the other groups.ConclusionsResults indicated that injection of HMB increased hatchability by almost 15%. The IOF of HMB improved the digestive tract and breast muscle development and improved FCR.

Published: April 2023

AbstractA 10‐month‐old female domestic shorthaired (DSH) cat was presented with peracute respiratory problems. Physical examination revealed dyspnoea, tachypnoea, cyanosis, weak pulse and bradycardia. Auscultation showed pulmonary crepitation and attenuated heart sounds and a pansystolic grade V/VI murmur. The electrocardiogram showed atrioventricular dissociation identified as third‐degree sinoatrial block. X‐rays showed increased density in the ventral and middle zones of the thorax and loss of definition of the cardiac silhouette and increased diffuse radiographic density of the entire abdomen.Echocardiography revealed dilatation of the right atrium and concentric biventricular hypertrophy. A type 1 persistent truncus arteriosus was diagnosed at necropsy.This is the first case report of this type of arrhythmia in a cat with persistent truncus arteriosus, and its relationship with the described congenital cardiac anomaly is discussed.
Moving beyond “Spoon” tasks: When do children autocue their episodic future thought?
Authors: Atance Cristina M. , Ayson Gladys , Martin‐Ordas Gema 
Published: April 2023

AbstractMuch developmental (and comparative) research has used Tulving's Spoon test (i.e., whether an individual will select an item needed to solve a future problem) as the basis for designing tasks to measure episodic future thinking, defined as the capacity to mentally pre‐experience the future. There is, however, intense debate about whether these tasks successfully do so. Most notably, it has been argued that children may pass (i.e., select an item with future utility) by drawing on non‐episodic, associative processes, rather than on the capacity to represent the future, per se. Although subsequent developmental tasks have sought to address this limitation, we highlight what we argue is a more fundamental shortcoming of Spoon tasks: they prompt future‐directed action making it impossible to determine whether children have used their episodic future thinking to guide their behavior. Accordingly, we know little about children's thought about the future that is independently generated (i.e., without prompting), or autocued, and is subsequently reflected (and measurable) by children's actions. We argue that this capacity is a critical, and heretofore overlooked, transition in future‐oriented cognition that may not occur until middle childhood. We further hypothesize that it is reliant on children developing richer and more detailed future event representations, along with the necessary cognitive control to transform these representations into actions that serve to benefit their future selves. The time is ripe for researchers to explore this aspect of cognitive development and we suggest several novel approaches to do so.This article is categorized under:

CESE Schemes with Numerical Dissipation
Authors: Wen Chih-Yung , Jiang Yazhong , Shi Lisong 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAs depicted in Chap. 2, the interface between the two sub-CEs (CD in Fig. 2.7), belongs to the SE of (j, n). The flux FC needs to be calculated through the Taylor expansion at point (j, n) toward the inverse time direction. As a result, the a scheme is reversible. This violates the second law of thermodynamics. Thus, the non-dissipative core suffers from the unphysical oscillations for practical applications.
Numerical Features of CESE Schemes

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, some remarks are made on the numerical characteristics of the CESE schemes described in foregoing chapters. Due to the special formulation, rigorous analysis of the CESE schemes will take more efforts than that of traditional finite difference schemes. However, it is possible to extend the widely used modified equation analysis, modified wavenumber analysis, and von Neumann stability analysis to the CESE schemes.
Application: Compressible Multi-fluid Flows
Authors: Wen Chih-Yung , Jiang Yazhong , Shi Lisong 
Published: April 2023

AbstractMulti-fluid flows involving shock-accelerated inhomogeneities and shock-induced instability play essential roles in a wide variety of problems including, but not limited to, supersonic combustion [1], inertial confinement fusion [2], and supernova explosion [3]. Numerical simulations of these complex flows prove to be challenging in the presence of moving and deformable material interfaces, especially for fluids with large differences in their densities or thermodynamic properties. Therefore, a discontinuity-capturing, mass-conserving, and positivity-preserving scheme is desirable for compressible multi-fluid simulations.
Application: Detonations
Authors: Wen Chih-Yung , Jiang Yazhong , Shi Lisong 
Published: April 2023

AbstractDetonation is a shock-induced combustion in which chemical reactions are closely coupled with shock waves. The shock wave compresses the reactant with an abrupt increase in temperature and pressure, initiating the reactants to be burnt into products. The intense heat release permits the high propagating speed of the shock wave to be sustained. It is fundamental research related to both the safety industry and propulsion systems. For most explosive mixtures, detonation wave speeds are formulated by Chapman–Jouguet (CJ) theory. Typical detonation velocities for gaseous mixtures generally range from 1400 to 3000 m/s. Behind the shock, the time scale for reactions is commonly on the order of microseconds or even less. Furthermore, the detonation front is intrinsically unstable, forming transient multi-dimensional structures. Many studies revealed that high resolution is necessary to resolve the essential detonation structures. Due to its complex nature and multiple time scales, detonation is thus a challenging problem for solvers on shock-capturing capability, robustness, and computational efficiency. This chapter will present several essential aspects of detonation research by applying the CESE schemes.
Do prenatal factors shape the risk for dementia?: A systematic review of the epidemiological evidence for the prenatal origins of dementia
Authors: Wiegersma Aline Marileen , Boots Amber , Langendam Miranda W. , Limpens Jacqueline , Shenkin Susan D. , Korosi Aniko , Roseboom Tessa J. , de Rooij Susanne R. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Prenatal factors such as maternal stress, infection and nutrition affect fetal brain development and may also influence later risk for dementia. The purpose of this systematic review was to provide an overview of all studies which investigated the association between prenatal factors and later risk for dementia.

Methods
We systematically searched MEDLINE and Embase for original human studies reporting on associations between prenatal factors and dementia from inception to 23 November 2022. Prenatal factors could be any factor assessed during pregnancy, at birth or postnatally, provided they were indicative of a prenatal exposure. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. We followed PRISMA guidelines for reporting.

Results
A total of 68 studies met eligibility criteria (including millions of individuals), assessing maternal age (N = 30), paternal age (N = 22), birth order (N = 15), season of birth (N = 16), place of birth (N = 13), prenatal influenza pandemic (N = 1) or Chinese famine exposure (N = 1), birth characteristics (N = 3) and prenatal hormone exposure (N = 4). We observed consistent results for birth in a generally less optimal environment (e.g. high infant mortality area) being associated with higher dementia risk. Lower and higher birth weight and prenatal famine exposure were associated with higher dementia risk. The studies on season of birth, digit ratio, prenatal influenza pandemic exposure, parental age and birth order showed inconsistent results and were hampered by relatively high risk of bias.

Conclusion
Our findings suggest that some prenatal factors, especially those related to a suboptimal prenatal environment, are associated with an increased dementia risk. As these associations may be confounded by factors such as parental socioeconomic status, more research is needed to examine the potential causal role of the prenatal environment in dementia.
Post-traumatic stress symptoms and benefit finding: a longitudinal study among Italian health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Negri Luca , Bassi Marta , Accardi Roberto , Delle Fave Antonella 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Research has highlighted that the exposure of healthcare professionals to the COVID-19 pandemic for over two years can lead to the development and persistence of symptoms characteristic of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with serious consequences on both the individual well-being and the quality of care provided. The present study was aimed at investigating the role of benefit finding in moderating post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) over time.

Methods
The longitudinal study, conducted between April and October 2020, involved 226 Italian health workers (44.7% nurses and midwives, 35% doctors, 20.3% technical and rehabilitation professionals), who filled out an online survey at the beginning of the study (T1), after three months (T2), and after six months (T3).
Participants (77.4% women; mean age = 41.93, SD = 12.06) completed the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and Benefit Finding, a 17-item questionnaire measuring the perceived level of positive consequences derived from stressful experiences. A hierarchical regression analysis highlighted the moderating effect of benefit finding (T2) on the association between PTSS values at T1 and T3.

Results
A buffering effect was observed, with higher benefit finding levels reducing the magnitude of the bivariate association between PTSS assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Conclusion
Findings suggest the potential mental health related benefits of interventions allowing health professionals to identify positive aspects in the experience of working under prolonged emergency circumstances, such as the pandemic ones.
Predicting anisotropic behavior of textured PBF-LB materials via microstructural modeling
Authors: Mistry Nishant , Hitzler Leonhard , Biswas Abhishek , Krempaszky Christian , Werner Ewald 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIt is well established that large temperature gradients cause strong textures in as-built metal parts manufactured via laser beam powder bed fusion. Columnar grains with a preferred crystallographic orientation dominate the microstructure of such materials resulting in a pronounced anisotropic mechanical behavior. Such materials are often studied with the help of tensile tests and corresponding numerical simulations in different loading directions. For the purpose of simulations, the microstructure is usually modeled with a statistically representative volume element (RVE). In the present study, two RVE modeling techniques, based on different texture sampling algorithms, have been compared for their property prediction capabilities. It was found that the model, based on an equally weighted crystallographic orientations set, sufficiently predicted macroscopic mechanical properties and also reduced the computational cost. Furthermore, an efficient method to rotate the boundary conditions for tensile test simulations under different loading directions was developed, thereby reducing the required number of RVE models to just one. The method was compared with an alternate method, where, an RVE model with rotated microstructure was subjected to unchanged boundary conditions. For this study, tensile test simulation results were compared with data from destructive material tests for predominantly single-phase austenitic stainless steel (EN 1.4404/AISI 316L).

AbstractEfficient computability is an important property of solution concepts. We consider the computational complexity of finding and verifying various solution concepts in trading networks—multi-sided matching markets with bilateral contracts and without transferable utility—under the assumption of full substitutability of agents’ preferences. It is known that outcomes that satisfy trail stability always exist and can be found in linear time. However, we show that the existence of stable outcomes—immune to deviations by arbitrary sets of agents—is an $${{\textsf{N}}}{{\textsf{P}}}$$

AbstractThe 1958 Delaney amendment to the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetics Act prohibited food additives causing cancer in animals by appropriate tests. Regulators responded by adopting chronic lifetime cancer tests in rodents, soon challenged as inappropriate, for they led to very inconsistent results depending on the subjective choice of animals, test design and conduct, and interpretive assumptions. Presently, decades of discussions and trials have come to conclude it is impossible to translate chronic animal data into verifiable prospects of cancer hazards and risks in humans. Such conclusion poses an existential crisis for official agencies in the US and abroad, which for some 65 years have used animal tests to justify massive regulations of alleged human cancer hazards, with aggregated costs of $trillions and without provable evidence of public health advantages. This article addresses suitable remedies for the US and potentially worldwide, by critically exploring the practices of regulatory agencies vis-á-vis essential criteria for validating scientific evidence. According to this analysis, regulations of alleged cancer hazards and risks have been and continue to be structured around arbitrary default assumptions at odds with basic scientific and legal tests of reliable evidence. Such practices raise a manifold ethical predicament for being incompatible with basic premises of the US Constitution, and with the ensuing public expectations of testable truth and transparency from government agencies. Potential remedies in the US include amendments to the US Administrative Procedures Act, preferably requiring agencies to justify regulations compliant with the Daubert opinion of the Daubert ruling of the US Supreme Court, which codifies the criteria defining reliable scientific evidence. International reverberations are bound to follow what remedial actions may be taken in the US, the origin of current world regulatory procedures to control alleged cancer causing agents.
Bubble-tree convergence and local diffeomorphism finiteness for gradient Ricci shrinkers
Authors: Buzano Reto , Yudowitz Louis 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWe prove bubble-tree convergence of sequences of gradient Ricci shrinkers with uniformly bounded entropy and uniform local energy bounds, refining the compactness theory of Haslhofer and Müller (Geom Funct Anal 21:1091–1116, 2011; Proc Am Math Soc 143(10):4433–4437, 2015). In particular, we show that no energy concentrates in neck regions, a result which implies a local energy identity for the sequence. Direct consequences of these results are an identity for the Euler characteristic and a local diffeomorphism finiteness theorem.
From Semi-Markov Random Evolutions to Scattering Transport and Superdiffusion
Authors: Ricciuti Costantino , Toaldo Bruno 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWe here study random evolutions on Banach spaces, driven by a class of semi-Markov processes. The expectation (in the sense of Bochner) of such evolutions is shown to solve some abstract Cauchy problems. Further, the abstract telegraph (damped wave) equation is generalized to the case of semi-Markov perturbations. A special attention is devoted to semi-Markov models of scattering transport processes which can be represented through these evolutions. In particular, we consider random flights with infinite mean flight times which turn out to be governed by a semi-Markov generalization of a linear Boltzmann equation; their scaling limit is proved to converge to superdiffusive transport processes.
Oridonin Attenuates Thioacetamide-Induced Osteoclastogenesis Through MAPK/NF-κB Pathway and Thioacetamide-Inhibited Osteoblastogenesis Through BMP-2/RUNX2 Pathway

AbstractOsteoporosis, an age-related metabolic bone disease, is mainly caused by an imbalance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. At present, there are many osteoporosis drugs that can promote bone formation or inhibit bone resorption. However, there were few therapeutic drugs that can simultaneously promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption. Oridonin (ORI), a tetracyclic diterpenoid compound isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, has been proved to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor effects. However, little is known about the osteoprotective effect of oridonin. Thioacetamide (TAA) is a common organic compound with significant hepatotoxicity. Recent studies have found that there was a certain association between TAA and bone injury. In this work, we investigated the effect and mechanism of ORI on TAA-induced osteoclastogenesis and inhibition of osteoblast differentiation. The results showed that TAA could promote the osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 by promoting the MAPK/NF-κB pathway, and also promoted p65 nuclear translocation and activated intracellular ROS generation, and ORI can inhibit these effects to inhibit TAA-induced osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, ORI can also promote the osteogenic differentiation pathway and inhibit adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs to promote bone formation. In conclusion, our results revealed that ORI, as a potential therapeutic drug for osteoporosis, could protect against TAA-induced bone loss and TAA-inhibited bone formation.
Revisiting the concept of the ‘Neolithic Founder Crops’ in southwest Asia
Authors: Arranz-Otaegui Amaia , Roe Joe 
Published: April 2023

AbstractZohary and Hopf coined the term ‘founder crops’ to refer to a specific group of eight plants, namely three cereals (einkorn, emmer and barley), four legumes (lentil, pea, bitter vetch and chickpea), and a fibre/oil crop (flax), that founded early Neolithic agriculture in southwest Asia. Zohary considered these taxa as the first cultivated and domesticated species, as well as those that agricultural communities exploited and eventually spread to Europe and other regions. As a result, these eight species soon become the hallmark of the Neolithic plant-based subsistence. However, the ‘founder crops’ concept was defined at the end of the 1980s, when the development of agriculture was considered a rapid event, and therefore, terms like domestication, agriculture and plant cultivation were used interchangeably in the literature. The aim of this paper is thus to revisit concept of the ‘Neolithic founder crops’. Through a critical review of the archaeobotanical evidence gathered in the last 40 years, we evaluate the relative contribution of the ‘eight founder crop’ species to the plant-based subsistence across different periods of the southwest Asian Neolithic. We conclude that multiple groups of ‘founder’ species could be defined depending on whether one seeks to represent the most exploited plants of the Neolithic period, the first cultivated and domesticated crops, or the species that agricultural communities cultivated and eventually spread to Europe. Improved understanding of Neolithic plant-based subsistence in general, and agriculture in particular, will be attained by moving beyond conventional narratives and exploring the evolutionary history of plants other than the original ‘founder’ species.
