Dome‐Structure Array from Pre‐Strained Extendable Mesh for Tactile Sensing Without Crosstalk and Lateral Strain Interference
Authors: Bae Kyubin , Kim Minhyeong , Sim Sangjun , Kang Yunsung , Kim Jongbaeg 
Published: January 2025

AbstractFlexible tactile sensors have received significant attention for use in wearable applications such as robotics, human‐machine interfaces, and health monitoring. However, conventional tactile sensors face challenges in accurately measuring pressure because vertical deformation is induced by Poisson's ratio in situations where lateral strain is applied. This study shows a strain‐insensitive flexible tactile sensor array without the crosstalk effect using a highly stretchable mesh. This sensor is fabricated by assembling a sensing layer in which sensing cells form in each hole of an elastomer mesh and liquid‐metal‐based stretchable electrode layers. Stretching deforms the soft mesh layer with little effect on the rigid sensing cell array, which results in the sensor being insensitive to uniaxial strain. In addition, each sensing cell is formed in a dome shape, which resulted in a sensor exhibiting high sensitivity (7.80 kPa−1) over a wide sensing range (<160 kPa). The proposed design also allows each sensing cell to be electrically separated, enabling the pressure measurements without cell‐to‐cell crosstalk. Based on these characteristics, strain‐insensitive pressure monitoring is demonstrated to prevent carpal/cubital tunnel syndrome by attaching the device to the joints, which suggests its potential application in healthcare.

Published: January 2025

AbstractSelectfluor, [1‐chloromethyl‐4‐fluoro‐1,4‐diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate)], is a highly valuable reagent in contemporary chemistry, serving not only as an electrophilic fluorinating agent but also as an effective catalyst in the synthesis of various pharmaceutically relevant heterocycles. This review article seeks to present a comprehensive overview of the significant heterocyclic ring formations facilitated by selectfluor. Both metal‐free and metal‐catalyzed recent advancement on selectfluor mediated cyclisation processes are discussed in this review mainly over last eight years (2017‐April 2024).

ABSTRACTBackgroundIsoproterenol (ISO) is a nonselective beta‐adrenergic receptor agonist known for its vasodilatory effects. This experiment aims to investigate whether intrauterine ISO administration could alter vascular indices and follicular development in postpartum Holstein cows.ObjectivesThe objectives are to evaluate the effects of intrauterine ISO administration on vascular changes and its impact on follicular development compared to placebo groups.Study DesignThis randomized controlled study was conducted on 36 Holstein cows selected based on their health status, including only those free from reproductive, metabolic and infectious disorders.MethodsThe cows (n = 36) were divided into two groups as control received distilled water alone (CON, n = 18) and experiment received 4 mg ISO in 40 mL distilled water (ISO, n = 18) and four subgroups as CON‐I (n = 9), CON‐II (n = 9), ISO‐I (n = 9) and ISO‐II (n = 9) according to days of intrauterine administration (I or II represents to 1 or 2 days after ovulation, respectively). Uterine and ovarian artery blood flows were assessed before and after administration by Doppler ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected both before and after administration (on Day 1 or 2) and on Days 3, 6 and 9 post‐ovulation for hormonal analysis. Antral follicle count (AFC) was recorded on the blood sampling days. Data were analysed via mixed model ANOVA.ResultsIntrauterine ISO administration significantly increased the pulse rate (PR) in the ovaries (89.4 vs. 65.5 bpm, p < 0.0001) and uterus (90.6 vs. 64.2 bpm, p < 0.0001). Early AFC (1–2.9 mm) decreased, whereas small AFC (3–4.9 mm) increased in the ISO groups. The weighted average antral follicle size (WAAFS) significantly increased in the ISO group but remained unchanged in the controls. Hormonal analysis revealed elevated levels of FSH (626 vs. 468 mIU/mL), AMH (61.3 vs. 46.4 ng/L), E2 (138 vs. 122 ng/L), P4 (15.3 vs. 10.6 ng/mL), IGF‐1 (62.6 vs. 25.1 ng/mL) and IGFBP‐3 (28.4 vs. 16.5 ng/mL) in the ISO groups (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsThe findings indicate that intrauterine administration of ISO on Day 1 post‐ovulation could be a promising ‘adjunct technique’ for future research focussed on minimizing dependence on exogenous hormones or improving the sensitivity of follicles to endogenous hormonal signals, thereby potentially enhancing oocyte yield.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundToday, customers pay more attention to the feed composition and carcasses of poultry, and the interest in using natural and safe compounds such as medicinal plants and their extracts in animal feed is increasing.ObjectivesThe present experiment was conducted to assess the effect of green tea (Camellia sinensis) and mulberry (Morus alba) leaves powder on the meat quality, intestinal microbiology and serum biochemical parameters in broilers.MethodsThe experiment was conducted with 648 one‐day‐old Ross 308 broiler male chicks with a factorial arrangement including three levels of green tea powder (GTP) and three levels of mulberry leaf powder (MLP), with nine treatments and six replications in a completely randomized design for 42 days. Treatments included: (1) no GTP + no MLP (control), (2) 1% GTP + no MLP, (3) 2% GTP + no MLP, (4) no GTP + 1% MLP, (5) 1% GTP + 1% MLP, (6) 2% GTP + 1% MLP, (7) no GTP + 2% MLP, (8) 1% GTP + 2% MLP and (9) 2% GTP + 2% MLP.ResultsThe results showed that the lowest lightness (L*), drip loss and total cholesterol levels, and the highest Lactobacillus population were observed in treatments: 1% GTP + no MLP, 2% GTP + no MLP, 1% GTP + 1% MLP, 2% GTP + 1% MLP, no GTP + 2% MLP, 1% GTP + 2% MLP and 2% GTP + 2% MLP (p < 0.05). The groups receiving 1% GTP + 1% MLP, 2% GTP + 1% MLP, no GTP + 2% MLP, 1% GTP + 2% MLP and 2% GTP + 2% MLP had the highest pH 24 h (p < 0.05). The chickens fed with 1% and 2% GTP showed lower low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and malondialdehyde (MAD) levels (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe results showed that using the GTP and MLP in the diet of broilers could improve meat quality traits and beneficial ileal bacteria populations and reduce serum lipid and MDA levels.

U.S. Interests in the South China Sea: Defending Norms, not Territory
Authors: Jannuzi Frank 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The South China Sea is a region of growing significance where great power rivalries—principally the contest between China and the United States for hegemony in East Asia—threaten to undermine peace and stability to the detriment of all the parties involved. In addition to its economic importance, the South China Sea holds geo-strategic value not only as a “choke point” for the flow of energy from the Middle East to energy-hungry East Asian oil importers but also as the potential passageway for naval forces responding to any contingency in the Taiwan Strait. Given these realities, it is no wonder that many nations—not only China and those ASEAN states in the immediate vicinity who claim territory in the South China Sea but also the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea, England, and the countries that comprise the European Union—are all monitoring the situation closely. After all, all of them have a stake—whether direct or indirect—in how overlapping claims to territory and resources are ultimately resolved.

Hook, Line and Cooperate: A Three-Staged Approach to Regional Fishery Cooperation
Authors: Kembara Gilang 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Fishery constitutes an important living resource that often straddles between political maritime boundaries, including in disputed maritime areas. This has become a contentious issue between states seeking to establish maritime cooperation, as they would debate their respective rights to fish these resources. To bridge the differences, a three-stage approach is proposed to enable countries to better organize fishery cooperation between parties. First, parties must assess their level of trust between each other, and manage any trust deficit to allow further maritime cooperation to proceed without prejudice. Second, a thorough assessment of the fish stock level in the area is to be carried out through a joint maritime research and surveillance. By having the data of the resources could parties then advance to the final stage by establishing a framework to manage the living resources of the area, and to develop a fishery mechanism to ensure that parties adhere to the maximum sustainable yield of the resources catch to allow for replenishment of the resources.
Trisections of PL 4-Manifolds Arising from Colored Triangulations

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is twofold: first to extend to non-orientable compact 4-manifolds the notion of gem-induced trisection, directly obtained from colored triangulations (or, equivalently, from colored graphs encoding them, called gems); second to prove that, both in the orientable and non-orientable case, if the boundary is homeomorphic to a connected sum of sphere bundles over

$$\mathbb {S}^1$$

, gem-induced trisections naturally give rise to trisections of the corresponding closed 4-manifold. As a consequence, an estimation of the trisection genus of any closed orientable 4-manifold is obtained via colored triangulations, in terms of the combinatorial properties of a Kirby diagram representing it.

Published: January 2025

Zusammenfassung

Einleitung
Die multimodale Therapie der Arthrofibrose umfasst sowohl nichtchirurgische als auch chirurgische Ansätze. Die medikamentöse Behandlung wird kontrovers diskutiert, da bislang keine standardisierte Therapie etabliert wurde.

Material und Methoden
Dieser Artikel gibt eine Übersicht über potenzielle Arzneimittel, die in der adjuvanten Therapie der Arthrofibrose Anwendung finden. Verschiedene Substanzgruppen für die adjuvante medikamentöse Behandlung der Arthrofibrose werden vorgestellt. Eine angemessene Schmerztherapie, vorzugsweise mit nichtsteroidalen Antirheumatika (NSAR), bildet die Basis der Behandlung. Antioxidanzien und Vitamine können oxidative Stressbelastungen bei einem geringen Nebenwirkungsprofil reduzieren. Am häufigsten werden die antifibrotischen Eigenschaften von Kortikosteroiden und Propranolol genutzt; diese Substanzen können jedoch ausschließlich im „off-label use“ angewendet werden.

Schlussfolgerung
Der Einsatz verschiedener Substanzen sollte individuell geprüft und stadiengerecht als adjuvante Maßnahme zusätzlich zu anderen Therapieformen angewendet werden.
Comparison of different characterization approaches for monoelemental calibration solutions at two national metrology institutes
Authors: Tunç Murat , Paredes Cristhian , Coşkun F. Gonca , Serna Juliana , Caner Merve 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Monoelemental calibration solutions are the most common reference in elemental analysis, linking measurement results to the International System of Units (SI). National Metrology Institutes (NMI) prepare these solutions as certified reference materials (CRM) and determine their elemental mass fraction with high accuracy. Characterization with high accuracy is one of the most critical steps in CRM production. This report compares the approaches taken by the NMIs of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK-UME) and Colombia (INM(CO)) in preparing and characterizing cadmium calibration solutions with a nominal value of 1 g kg−1. Each NMI produced CRMs using an independent batch of cadmium calibration solution and assigned mass fraction values to both their own solutions and those of the other NMIs. TÜBİTAK-UME employed a primary difference method (PDM) to assess the purity of a cadmium metal standard, quantifying all possible impurities using a combination of instrumental analytical techniques. The defined purity standard was used for both the gravimetric preparation of the CRM and the calibration of high-performance inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) measurements. On the other hand, INM(CO) used gravimetric titration with EDTA to assay cadmium in the CRM solutions. The EDTA salt was previously characterized by titrimetry. Despite the fundamentally different measurement methods and independent metrological traceability paths to the SI, the measurement results exhibited excellent agreement within the stated uncertainties. This comparative analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of varied characterization approaches and underscores the reliability of the cadmium calibration solutions prepared by TÜBİTAK-UME and INM(CO). This collaborative effort highlights the reliability and adaptability of various measurement techniques in fulfilling rigorous metrological standards for elemental calibration solutions. Furthermore, this approach enhances the robustness of the measurements in the field of elemental analysis and contributes traceability to the SI.

Quantum Broadcast Channel Simulation via Multipartite Convex Splitting
Authors: Berta Mario , Cheng Hao-Chung , Gao Li 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We show that the communication cost of quantum broadcast channel simulation under free entanglement assistance between the sender and the receivers is asymptotically characterized by an efficiently computable single-letter formula in terms of the channel’s multipartite mutual information. Our core contribution is a new one-shot achievability result for multipartite quantum state splitting via multipartite convex splitting. As part of this, we face a general instance of the quantum joint typicality problem with arbitrarily overlapping marginals. The crucial technical ingredient to sidestep this difficulty is a conceptually novel multipartite mean-zero decomposition lemma, together with employing recently introduced complex interpolation techniques for sandwiched Rényi divergences. Moreover, we establish an exponential convergence of the simulation error when the communication costs are within the interior of the capacity region. As the costs approach the boundary of the capacity region moderately quickly, we show that the error still vanishes asymptotically.

Abstract
The Añana Salt Valley (northern Spain) is a continental saltern consisting of a series of natural springs that have been used for salt production for at least 7000 years. This habitat has been relatively understudied; therefore, prokaryotic diversity was investigated through Illumina-based 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine if the waters within the valley exhibit distinctive microbiological characteristics. Two main types of water were found in the valley: salty (approximately 200 g/L salinity) from the diapiric structure and brackish (≤ 20 g/L salinity) from shallow streams. The beta diversity indices showed that salinity was the primary factor influencing the prokaryotic distribution. However, a niche-specific influence was observed between waters of the same origin, with significant differences in the relative abundance of the ASVs. The microbiome of the saltern revealed that the archaeal domain was mainly restricted to salty waters, while the bacterial domain was ubiquitous throughout the saltern, with a notable prevalence in brackish waters. The main bacterial and archaeal phyla identified were Pseudomonadota and Halobacterota, respectively. The genus Halorubrum was abundant and widespread in salty waters, while Pseudomonas was a significant part of the prokaryote community, mainly in brackish waters. The relative abundance of the genera Haloplanus and Salinibacter increased in the salt ponds used for salt production. The taxa involved in chemoheterotrophy and fermentation were widespread, sharing the same niche. Overall, the location of this saltern on a diapiric structure favors the occurrence of waters with different origins that affect the prokaryotic distribution beyond the niche location in the valley.
Shades of evidence: a review of skin color reporting in melanoma-related randomized controlled trials
Authors: Curtis Deven P. , Salmen Natasha L. , Baumann Anthony N. , Busby Justine F. , Brodell Robert T. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objectives
To examine the rate of skin color reporting in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving melanoma in the top ten highest dermatology journals by impact factor over the past four decades.

Methods
A systematic review of RCTs involving melanoma within the top ten dermatology journals, as determined by impact factor, was conducted from inception to July 10th, 2023. Studies were included if they reviewed the diagnosis and/or treatment of melanoma, were RCTs, directly involved patients and were written in English. Studies were characterized as positive for reporting skin of color (SOC) if the demographic data in the results or methods sections included any of the following: race, ethnicity, skin of color, Fitzpatrick scale, sunburn tendency, phototype, skin type, or skin tone.

Results
Out of 76 studies initially identified, only 49 articles met inclusion criteria. Of these 49 articles, only 24 articles recorded data of skin color from their demographics (49%). Subgroup analysis showed no statistically significant difference in the rate of reporting between studies grouped by decade (p = 0.779) or by study location (p = 0.763).

Conclusion
Darker skin tones can disguise melanotic skin lesions. Less than 50% of RCTs related to melanoma in the top ten international dermatology journals included skin color within their results section to characterize study participants. This has a negative impact on our understanding of this potentially devastating disease.
Shift invariance of half space integrable models
Authors: He Jimmy 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We formulate and establish symmetries of certain integrable half space models, analogous to recent results on symmetries for models in a full space. Our starting point is the colored stochastic six vertex model in a half space, from which we obtain results on the asymmetric simple exclusion process, as well as for the beta polymer through a fusion procedure which may be of independent interest. As an application, we establish a distributional identity between the absorption time in a type B analogue of the oriented swap process and last passage times in a half space, establishing the Baik–Ben Arous–Péché phase transition for the absorption time. The proof uses Hecke algebras and integrability of the six vertex model through the Yang–Baxter and reflection equations.

Abstract
In this article we completely characterise constant length substitution shifts which have a proper almost automorphic factor, or which have a bijective substitution factor such that the factor map is injective on at least one point. Our approach is algebraic: we characterise these dynamical properties in terms of a finite semigroup defined by the substitution. We characterise the existence of almost automorphic factors in terms of Green’s
