Combined Effect of Airborne Ultrasound and Temperature On the Drying Kinetics and Quality Properties of Kiwifruit (Actinidia Deliciosa)
Authors: Llavata B. , Femenia A. , Clemente G. , Cárcel J. A. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractDrying is one of the most used options for the stabilization of the surpluses resulting from kiwifruit industrialization for their upcycling. However, drying conditions, such as drying temperature or ultrasound application during drying to intensify the process, can highly affect its final quality. Thus, with the aim to assess the combined influence of temperature and ultrasound application in the drying process of kiwifruit, ultrasonically assisted drying experiments were performed at 40, 50, 60 and 70 ºC. The process kinetics was greatly dependent on the temperature, as shown by the activation energy value obtained, 30.95 kJ/mol. Ultrasound application increased the drying kinetics, with its influence being more marked at the lowest temperatures tested. The increase in effective diffusivity and the mass transfer coefficient induced by ultrasound application was similar to the increase induced by an increase of drying temperature of 10 ºC. Drying caused a significant change in the color although the use of ultrasound helped to preserve it at the higher temperatures. Antioxidant capacity and vitamin C content decreased after drying, but the total phenolic content increased. The greatest retention of the antioxidant properties was observed in ultrasonically assisted samples dried at the highest temperatures. In the case of fiber properties, the best results were obtained at intermediate ones. Drying kiwifruit at 60 ºC with ultrasound application could serve as a means of balancing a fast drying process and good final quality.

AbstractThe well-known $$\mathcal {E}$$
E
-set introduced by Hayman in 1960 is a countable collection of Euclidean discs in the complex plane, whose subtending angles at the origin have a finite sum. An important special case of an $$\mathcal {E}$$
E
-set is known as the R-set, for which the sum of the diameters of the discs is finite. These sets appear in numerous papers in the theories of complex differential and functional equations. A given $$\mathcal {E}$$
E
-set (hence an R-set) has the property that the set of angles $$\theta $$

E
-set has linear measure zero. This paper offers a continuous transition from $$\mathcal {E}$$
E
-sets to R-sets and then to much thinner sets. In addition to rays, plane curves that originate from the zero distribution theory of exponential polynomials will be considered. It turns out that almost every such curve meets at most finitely many discs in the collection in question. Analogous discussions are provided in the case of the unit disc $$\mathbb {D}$$

Published: June 2023

AbstractNowadays, multimedia security is a major issue. Images, video, audio, and text files lose credibility in most times, because they face several attacks related to illegal distribution, duplication, and manipulation of the information conveyed by them. Digital watermarking is an important tool for protecting digital content. This paper introduces an efficient hybrid digital image watermarking scheme. It consists of two stages of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The first one is the embedding stage, which is performed by using SVD followed by block-based SVD (B-SVD). The second stage is the extraction stage, which depends on the SVD on the whole image and then B-SVD to get the original watermarks. In this scheme, the watermarking requirements are satisfied, while capacity is increased. Furthermore, watermark detection, robustness, and security are improved. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by the correlation coefficientCrbetween the original and extracted watermarks, and the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) between the original and watermarked images. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a good performance, whereCrreaches 0.9975 andPSNRreaches 45.8605. It is more secure than the previous schemes, when subjected to attacks. In addition, the proposed scheme is compared to the most recent schemes, revealing its superiority.
Teaching creative writing in primary schools: a systematic review of the literature through the lens of reflexivity
Authors: Barton Georgina , Khosronejad Maryam , Ryan Mary , Kervin Lisa , Myhill Debra 
Published: June 2023

AbstractTeaching writing is complex and research related to approaches that support students’ understanding and outcomes in written assessment is prolific. Written aspects including text structure, purpose, and language conventions appear to be explicit elements teachers know how to teach. However, more qualitative and nuanced elements of writing such as authorial voice and creativity have received less attention. We conducted a systematic literature review on creativity and creative aspects of writing in primary classrooms by exploring research between 2011 and 2020. The review yielded 172 articles with 25 satisfying established criteria. Using Archer’s critical realist theory of reflexivity we report on personal, structural, and cultural emergent properties that surround the practice of creative writing. Implications and recommendations for improved practice are shared for school leaders, teachers, preservice teachers, students, and policy makers.
Green diesel production using stearic and palmitic acids on Ni catalysts obtained from Ternary Hydrotalcites Ni-Mg–Al

Published: June 2023

AbstractNi-Mg–Al ternary hydrotalcites (HTs) with molar ratio M2+ (Ni2+  + Mg2 +)/Al = 3, and different content of Ni, Ni0Mg3, Ni2Mg1, Ni2Mg1, Ni3Mg0 were prepared. The HTs were calcined and then reduced to generate catalysts based on metallic Ni, which, were used to produce green diesel from a mixture of stearic and palmitic acids at 320 °C and 1400 psia of H2. A reaction scheme was proposed; the main products were alkanes n-C17 and n-C15. The prepared catalysts carry out, mainly, reactions of decarboxylation (DCX) and decarbonylation (DCN), and some hydrocracking. The most active catalyst was Ni2Mg1 because it forms small clusters of nickel, apparently stabilized on MgO or NiO-MgO spinel like structures.

The Influence of Grandparents on Children’s Dietary Health: A Narrative Review
Authors: Jongenelis Michelle I. , Budden Timothy 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Purpose of Review

To examine and synthesise recent evidence on the role of grandparents in shaping children's dietary health.

Recent Findings

The influence of grandparents on children’s dietary health was evident across studies. Grandparents frequently provide their grandchildren with meals and snacks, and engage in many of the same feeding practices used by parents. Although grandparents report providing their grandchildren with healthy foods, the provision of treat foods high in sugar or fat was a common finding. This provision led to family conflict, with the indulgent behaviours of grandparents seen by parents as a barrier to healthy eating.

Summary

Grandparents are exerting significant influence on child dietary health. Efforts are needed to ensure these care providers are considered key stakeholders in the promotion of healthy eating and are targeted in policies and programs addressing children’s diets. Research that determines how to best support grandparents to foster healthy behaviours in children is critical.
Human–Animal Interactions in Disaster Settings: A Systematic Review
Authors: Wu Haorui , Heyland Lindsay K. , Yung Mandy , Schneider Maryam 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis systematic review aimed to assess the current knowledge of human–animal interactions (HAIs) in disaster settings and identify areas for future research. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses search was conducted on three multidisciplinary databases, identifying English-language journal articles published between January 2000 and February 2022 that explored the benefits of and challenges associated with HAI in disasters and emergencies. The review analyzed 94 articles using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The review found a paucity of universal terminology to describe the bidirectional relationship between humans and animals during disasters and a failure to include all animal types in every stage of disaster and emergency management. Additionally, research predominantly focused on the health and well-being benefits of HAI for humans rather than animals. Efforts to promote social and environmental justice for humans and their co-inhabitants should support the welfare of both humans and animals in disaster settings. Four recommendations were developed based on these findings to increase the inclusion of HAI in research, policy, and practice. Limitations of the review included the exclusion of pre-2000 articles and all grey literature, limited research examining different combinations of animal and disaster types, and limited research outside of North America.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Diabetes is a very common metabolic condition during pregnancy. The number of cases increases with age and obesity. The prevalence of pre-gestational diabetes and gestational diabetes (GD) differs between different ethnic groups.

Objective
The aim of the study was to analyse the prevalence of pre-gestational diabetes and GD in the health region of Lleida. We also studied the GD risk factors during pregnancy according to the country of origin of the pregnant woman.

Methods
We performed a retrospective observational cohort study among pregnant women between 2012 and 2018 in the health region of Lleida. A multivariate model was performed with the different variables analysed by calculating the regression coefficient and its 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results
In our sample of 17,177 pregnant women, we observed a prevalence of pre-gestational diabetes and GD of 8.2% and 6.5%, respectively. We found a relationship of gestational diabetes with different factors: age, with 6.8% in 30–34 year-old women and 11.3% in women over 35 (OR 1.78 and 3.29, respectively); overweight, with 8.29% (OR 1.89); and obesity, with 12.9% (OR 3.15). Finally, women from Asia and the Middle East and the Maghreb had a higher risk of diabetes, with 12.2% (OR 2.1) and 9.91% (OR 1.3), respectively, and Sub-Saharan women had a lower risk of it 6.07% (OR 0.71).

Conclusions
GD has different risk factors, such as age, overweight, and obesity. Non-related conditions include hypothyroidism, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. Finally, pregnant women from the Maghreb, and Asia and the Middle East, are at higher risk of developing diabetes during pregnancy; meanwhile, Sub-Saharan origin is protector factor.
Storage of High-Strength Steel Flux-Cored Welding Wires in Urbanized Areas

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe condition of the consumables is a key factor determining the waste reduction in the welding processes and the quality of the welded joint. The paper presents the results of tests of four types of flux-cored wires dedicated for welding high-strength steels, stored for 1 month and 6 months in Poland in two urbanized areas: in a large seaside city (Gdańsk) and in Warsaw, located in the center of the country. The wires were subjected to macroscopic and microscopic (stereoscopic, SEM) observations, EDS analysis, technological tests assessing elastic properties and targetability. The degree of degradation of the wires was also tested using resistance measurements. In order to assess the effect of storing wires on the weldability of steel, the diffusible hydrogen content in deposited metal was determined by high-temperature extraction. It was found that the storage caused changes in the surface condition of the wires, affected their elasticity and electrical properties, which affects the behavior of the wires during welding. A significant influence of storage conditions on the hydrogenation of deposited metal was found: in the case of three types of wires, the level of low hydrogen processes was exceeded and the maximum result was 15.18 ml/100 g of deposited metal. It was also found that copper-plated wire showed a significantly increased resistance to storage conditions compared to non-copper-plated wires.

Maniera Greca in Europe's Catholic East
Authors: Mickunaite Giedré 
Published: June 2023

How and why does vernacular art become foreign? What does 'Greek manner' mean in regions far beyond the Mediterranean? What stories do images need? How do narratives shape pictures? The study addresses these questions in Byzantine paintings from the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, contextualized with evidence from Poland, Serbia, Russia, and Italy. The research follows developments in artistic practices and the reception of these images, as well as distinguishing between the Greek manner - based on visual qualities - and the style favoured by the devout, sustained by cults and altered through stories. Following the reception of Byzantine and pseudo-Byzantine art in Lithuania and Poland from the late fourteenth through the early eighteenth centuries, <i>Maniera Greca in Europe's Catholic East</i> argues that tradition is repetitive order achieved through reduction and oblivion, and concludes that the sole persistent understanding of the Greek image has been stereotyped as the icon of the Mother of God.
Evolution of Microstructural Heterogeneity in the Deep Arc Lithosphere During Delamination
Authors: Gruber Benjamin , Chin Emily J. , Le Roux Veronique 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe microstructural properties of deep arc cumulates (arclogites) are poorly understood, but are essential in gaining a comprehensive picture of the rheology of continental lithosphere. Here, we analyze 16 arclogite xenoliths, comprising a low MgO and a high MgO suite, from Arizona, USA using electron backscatter diffraction to map microstructures, clinopyroxene shape preferred orientations (SPO), and clinopyroxene crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO). The lower pressure (∼1 GPa) low MgO arclogites show a variety of different clinopyroxene fabrics (S, L, and LS‐type), whereas the high pressure (>2 GPa) high MgO arclogites show predominantly LS‐type fabrics. Furthermore, clinopyroxenes in low MgO arclogites all show a pronounced correspondence between the long axis of their grain shape ellipsoids with the [001] crystal direction, indicating an SPO control on the CPO. In contrast, high MgO arclogite clinopyroxenes lack such a correspondence. We propose that both arclogite types originated as igneous cumulates, consistent with previous studies, but that the high MgO suite experienced substantial recrystallization which diminished the original igneous SPO‐induced CPO. Using strain rates appropriate for arc settings, we calculate a strength profile for the lithosphere and argue that the deepest arclogite textures are consistent with lithospheric foundering through ductile deformation under high shear strain (10−14–10−12 s−1). Our study shows that there is a high degree of shear strain localization in deep arc roots while shallower portions are relatively undeformed.
A Slab Window Beneath North Sumatra Revealed by P‐Wave Mantle Tomography
Authors: Hu Hao , Zhao Dapeng , Lin Jian , Pilia Simone 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPassive seismic studies have suggested that slab tearing occurs beneath North Sumatra, albeit the slab morphology is somewhat poorly constrained. The lack of resolution on the slab means that the presence of a tear has not been validated, and that the main factors responsible for slab tearing are hard to discern. We use a large seismic data set to determine a new 3‐D high‐resolution tomographic model of the crust and upper mantle beneath North Sumatra, which reveals a well‐defined low‐velocity channel that cuts across the subducting slab through a cavity. This feature cannot be reconciled with a tear in the slab, as previously suggested. Our relocated earthquakes exhibit a protruding cluster of seismicity along the subducted Investigator Fracture Zone, indicating that the high reliefs of the Investigator Fracture Zone possibly enhance the coupling between the subducted slab and the overriding plate. Shear stress resulting from the differential coupling in the slab may have created an area of mechanical weakness in correspondence of the fossil‐spreading ridges, which eventually led to the formation of a slab window. This window allows the exchange of mantle material from the subslab region up to the Toba volcano. We propose that the previously damaged parts (e.g., fracture zones and spreading centers) of the oceanic plate could help promote the growth of a slab window.
The Influence of Mesoscale Atmospheric Convection on Local Infrasound Propagation

Published: June 2023

AbstractInfrasound—that is, acoustic waves with frequencies below the threshold of human hearing—has historically been used to detect and locate distant explosive events over global ranges (≥1,000 km). Simulations over these ranges have traditionally relied on large‐scale, synoptic meteorological information. However, infrasound propagation over shorter, local ranges (0–100 km) may be affected by smaller, mesoscale meteorological features. To identify the effects of these mesoscale meteorological features on local infrasound propagation, simulations were conducted using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) meteorological model to approximate the meteorological conditions associated with a series of historical, small‐scale explosive test events that occurred at the Big Black Test Site in Bovina, Mississippi. These meteorological conditions were then incorporated into a full‐wave acoustic model to generate meteorology‐informed predictions of infrasound propagation. A series of WRF simulations was conducted with varying degrees of horizontal resolution—1, 3, and 15 km—to investigate the spatial sensitivity of these infrasound predictions. The results illustrate that convective precipitation events demonstrate potentially observable effects on local infrasound propagation due to strong, heterogeneous gradients in temperature and wind associated with the convective events themselves. Therefore, to accurately predict infrasound propagation on local scales, it may be necessary to use convection‐permitting meteorological models with a horizontal resolution ≤4 km at locations and times that support mesoscale convective activity.
Dynamical Heating in the Martian Thermosphere

Published: June 2023

AbstractDynamical heating and cooling are prominent features of planetary atmospheres resulting in thermospheric structures on Venus, Earth and Mars. The purpose of this study is to determine the location and amplitude of localized heating regions in the Martian thermosphere, confirm that they occur in regions of wind convergence and compare the observed dynamical heating with that predicted by a global thermospheric model. This investigation uses several years of data from the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission including observations made by the Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) as well as the Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor (EUVM). Specifically, the analysis focuses on several years of horizontal wind, temperature, and composition data. EUVM measurements provide a solar forcing context for the neutral thermosphere data sets and aid in the statistical analysis. Statistical results are compared with two versions of the Mars Global Ionosphere Thermosphere (M‐GITM) global circulation model: one that includes gravity wave parametrization and a version without gravity wave effects. Data analysis indicates that heating features exist around 2–3 and 17–18 local solar time. These locations coincide with regions of converging winds and are in better agreement with M‐GITM when a gravity wave parametrization is included in the model. An oscillation in the observed wind field also results in convergence and a density enhancement near 15 local time. While a similar oscillation is reproduced by the model, the amplitude is much lower than observed and may be a result of modeled zonal winds that are too low.
