Noir Angst: Dorothy B. Hughes's Dread Journey
Authors: Snyder Robert Lance 
Published: October 2022

AbstractStructured like Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express (1934) around a three‐day train journey, Dorothy B. Hughes's novel titled Dread Journey (1945) explores the noir experience of Angst as a condition linked to the erosion of moral absolutes in a postwar culture beguiled by Hollywood's regime of cinematographic illusion. Her eighth narrative, though not as well known as Hughes's In a Lonely Place (1947) and The Expendable Man (1963), plumbs a distinctly modern malaise identified by the philosophers associated with existential psychology. Eliotic references to the passengers' “atavistic fear of the wasteland” as the train plunges through the vast emptiness of the American Southwest en route from Los Angeles to New York reinforce a mounting sense of ontological disconnection. When contextualized by Hughes's The So Blue Marble (1940), The Blackbirder (1943), and The Davidian Report (1952), Dread Journey demonstrates that its author was keenly attuned to what W. H. Auden famously termed the “Age of Anxiety.”

AbstractBackgroundIntracardiac echocardiography (ICE) technology has been increasingly accepted as an integral part of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. It is still unknown whether ICE can routinely replace transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for routine thrombus screening in non‐selective AF patients.ObjectiveTo assess whether ICE can routinely replace TEE in screening for left atrial (LA)/left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus in general patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF.MethodsA total of 2003 consecutive patients undergoing AF ablation were included. 1155 patients (ICE group) received intra‐procedural ICE examination for LA/LAA thrombus screening, while 848 patients (TEE group) received pre‐procedure TEE examination. The incidence of thrombus, peri‐procedure complications, and hospital efficiency were assessed.ResultsThe LA and LAA were adequately visualized in all patients. Five patients in the ICE group and 15 patients in the TEE group were found to have LAA thrombus. The incidence of major periprocedural thrombo‐embolic events was comparable between two groups (0.2% vs. 0.1%, p = .76), none were due to undetected LA/LAA thrombus. Other major periprocedural complications occurred at similar rates in both groups, while post‐procedure fever was less common in the ICE group (12.7% vs. 17.4%, p < .001). Procedure times and hospital length of stay were both shorter in the ICE group (142 min [87–197 min] vs. 150 min [95–205 min], and 3[2–4] day vs. 4[3–5] day, respectively, both p < .001).ConclusionsICE can replace TEE for atrial thrombus screening in AF patients undergoing ablation without increased complications. An “ICE replacing TEE” workflow can also reduce the incidence of postoperative fever and improve hospital efficiency.
Against the very idea of a perceptual belief
Authors: Helton Grace , Nanay Bence 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to argue that there is no unproblematic way of delineating perceptual beliefs from non‐perceptual beliefs. The concept of perceptual belief is one of the central concepts not only of philosophy of perception but also of epistemology in a broad foundationalist tradition. Philosophers of perception talk about perceptual belief as the interface between perception and cognition and foundationalist epistemologists understand perceptual justification as a relation between perceptual states and perceptual beliefs. I consider three ways of cashing out the difference between perceptual and non‐perceptual beliefs (semantic, justificatory, and etiological) and argue that none of them works. Finally, I explore the possibility of understanding perceptual justification without relying on the concept of perceptual beliefs.
Unintended pregnancy and childhood maltreatment: The protective effect of positive relationships
Authors: Feld Hartley C. , Leistner Christine E. , Jones Aubrey , Wiggins Amanda Thaxton 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundChildhood maltreatment is associated with sexual risk‐taking behaviors in adulthood but can also have generational effects on maternal/child health.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study examined the relationship between childhood abuse and neglect and unintended pregnancy, and then assessed the effect of relationship attributes on this outcome.ResultsFindings indicate parenting women (n = 153) in long‐term relationships who experienced childhood emotional abuse had higher scores of unintended pregnancies (p = .023). Yet women with moderate/high partner appraisal (perceptions of their partner's attributes used to assess interpersonal conflicts) showed no difference in unintended pregnancies between those with and without emotional abuse in childhood. Women with emotional abuse and low partner appraisal had higher unintended pregnancy scores (p = .002).Discussion/conclusionThis study has implications for public health nursing and life course research demonstrating that a positive adult interpersonal environment can reduce the sequelae of adverse health outcomes associated with childhood emotional abuse. The results reinforce the importance of screening adults for childhood maltreatment to establish early risk for unintended pregnancy.
Systematic bias and the phylogeny of Coleoptera—A response to Cai et al. (2022) following the responses to Cai et al. (2020)

Published: October 2022

AbstractSystematic bias is one of the major phylogenetic issues arising over the last two decades. Using methods designed to reduce compositional and rate heterogeneity, hence systematic bias, Cai and co‐workers (2022) (= CEA22) reanalyzed the DNA sequence dataset for Coleoptera of Zhang et al. (2018) (= ZEA). CEA22 suggest that their phylogenetic results and major evolutionary hypotheses about the Coleoptera should be favoured over other recently published studies. Here, we discuss the methodology of CEA22 with particular attention to how their perfunctory reanalysis of ZEA obfuscates rather than illuminates beetle phylogeny. Similar to published rebuttals of an earlier study of theirs, we specifically find that many of their claims are misleading, unsupported, or false. Critically, CEA22 fail to establish the stated premise for their reanalysis. They fail to demonstrate how composition or rate heterogeneity supposedly impacted the phylogeny estimate of ZEA, let alone the results of other recent studies. Moreover, despite their claim of comprehensive sampling of Coleoptera, their dataset is neither the most diverse with respect to species and higher taxa included, nor anywhere near the largest in terms of sequence data and sampled loci. Although CEA22 does contribute additional fossils for calibration, those seeking the best available estimate for Coleoptera phylogeny and evolution based on molecular data are advised to look elsewhere.

Abstract
Body armor is used to protect the human from penetrating injuries, however, in the process of defeating a projectile, the back face of the armor can deform into the wearer at extremely high rates. This deformation can cause a variety of soft and hard tissue injuries. Finite element modeling (FEM) represents one of the best tools to predict injuries from this high-rate compression mechanism. However, the validity of a model is reliant on accurate material properties for biological tissues. In this study, we measured the stress–strain response of thoraco-abdominal tissue during high-rate compression (1000 and 1900 s−1) using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). High-rate material properties of porcine adipose, heart, spleen, and stomach tissue were characterized. At a strain rate of 1000 s−1, adipose (E = 4.7 MPa) had the most compliant stress–strain response, followed by spleen (E = 9.6 MPa), and then heart tissue (E = 13.6 MPa). At a strain rate of 1900 s−1, adipose (E = 7.3 MPa) had the most compliant stress–strain response, followed by spleen (E = 10.7 MPa), heart (E = 14.1 MPa), and stomach (E = 32.6 MPa) tissue. Only adipose tissue demonstrated a consistent rate dependence for these high strain rates, with a stiffer response at 1900 s−1 compared to 1000 s−1. However, comparison of all these tissues to previously published quasi-static and intermediate dynamic experiments revealed a strong rate dependence with increasing stress response from quasi-static to dynamic to high strain rates. Together, these findings can be used to develop a more accurate finite element model of high-rate compression injuries.
Damage Mechanics of Biological Tissues in Relation to Viscoelasticity

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study examines the theoretical foundations for the damage mechanics of biological tissues in relation to viscoelasticity. Its primary goal is to provide a mechanistic understanding of well-known experimental observations in biomechanics, which show that the ultimate tensile strength of viscoelastic biological tissues typically increases with increasing strain rate. The basic premise of this framework is that tissue damage occurs when strong bonds, such as covalent bonds in the solid matrix of a biological tissue, break in response to loading. This type of failure is described as elastic damage, under the idealizing assumption that strong bonds behave elastically. Viscoelasticity arises from three types of dissipative mechanisms: (1) Friction between molecules of the same species, which is represented by the tissue viscosity. (2) Friction between fluid and solid constituents of a porous medium, which is represented by the tissue hydraulic permeability. (3) Dissipative reactions arising from weak bonds breaking in response to loading, and reforming in a stress-free state, such as hydrogen bonds and other weak electrostatic bonds. When a viscoelastic tissue is subjected to loading, some of that load may be temporarily supported by those frictional and weak bond forces, reducing the amount of load supported by elastic strong bonds and thus, the extent of elastic damage sustained by those bonds. This protective effect depends on the characteristic time response of viscoelastic mechanisms in relation to the loading history. This study formalizes these concepts by presenting general equations that can model the damage mechanics of viscoelastic tissues.
Drying of a Fully Saturated Porous Medium With Excess Water Layers: A Numerical Study
Authors: Asar Munevver Elif , Yagoobi Jamal 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Drying of moist porous media can be very energy inefficient. For example, in the pulp and paper industry, paper drying consumes more than two-thirds of the total energy used in paper machines. Novel drying technologies can decrease the energy used for drying and lessen the manufacturing processes' carbon footprint. Developing next-generation drying technologies to dry moist porous media may require an understanding of removing moisture from a fully saturated porous material with excess water. This paper provides a fundamental understanding of heat and mass transfer in a fully saturated porous medium with excess water. This is relevant, for example, in drying tissue as well as pulp or paper for the purpose of thermal insulation where pressing is preferred to be avoided to overcome the reduction in the sheet thickness. For this purpose, a theoretical drying model is developed where the porous medium corresponds to paper and is assumed to be sandwiched between two excess-water layers (bottom and top). The conjugate model consists of energy and mass conservation equations for each layer. The model is validated with corresponding experimental data. In the model, the thickness of each water layer is calculated as a function of drying time based on local temperature and total moisture content. The numerical model is transient and one-dimensional in space (i.e., in the thickness direction). This paper demonstrates the governing equations, boundary conditions, and results when the saturated porous medium with water layers is heated from one side. Moisture and temperature profiles are estimated in the thickness direction of the porous medium as it dries.
In-Plane and Out-of-Plane T-Shaped Conductive Cold Plate Networks
Authors: D. do Amaral Derli , Lage José L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this study, two configurations for a cold plate designed to cool a heat-generating solid planar material through a small isothermal side-section are considered. The cold plate is originally conceived by distributing (embedding) within the heat-generating material a fixed amount of a high-conductivity material. Prior work has shown a T-shaped network type emerges, under stringent assumptions, as the optimum distribution for minimizing the cold plate maximum temperature. However, this “in-plane” embedded distribution configuration is impractical for being too intrusive. A new and practical “out-of-plane” configuration is proposed with the same optimal high-conductivity material network placed on top of the low-conductivity heat-generating plane instead of being embedded in it. Using realistic considerations and specifications, several different network distributions with increased complexity are designed for both in-plane and out-of-plane configurations. Modeling and numerical simulations are then performed to compare the heat transfer effectiveness achieved by each configuration and to investigate how the high-to-low thermal conductivity ratio influences the cold plate performance. Results show the in-plane and out-of-plane configurations surprisingly yield nearly identical temperature distributions for all configurations tested, and the increase of the thermal conductivity ratio enhances the network cooling role for all cases. The results also establish the robustness of the network design by showing better cooling performance when the network complexity increases, even when some of the stringent assumptions imposed in the original conceiving of the networks are not fully satisfied.
Determination of Optimal Shot Peen Forming Patterns Using the Theory of Non-Euclidean Plates
Authors: Sushitskii Vladislav , van Rees Wim M. , Levesque Martin , Gosselin Frederick P. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We show how a theoretical framework developed for modeling nonuniform growth can model the shot peen forming process. Shot peen forming consists in bombarding a metal panel with multiple millimeter-sized shots that induce local bending of the panel. When applied to different areas of the panel, peen forming generates compound curvature profiles starting from a flat state. We present a theoretical approach and its practical realization for simulating peen forming numerically. To achieve this, we represent the panel undergoing peen forming as a bilayer plate, and we apply a geometry-based theory of non-Euclidean plates to describe its reconfiguration. Our programming code based on this approach solves two types of problems: it simulates the effect of a predefined treatment (the forward problem) and it finds the optimal treatment to achieve a predefined target shape (the inverse problem). Both problems admit using multiple peening regimes simultaneously. The algorithm was tested numerically on 200 randomly generated test cases.
Automatic Screw Detection and Tool Recommendation System for Robotic Disassembly

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Disassembly is an essential process for the recovery of end-of-life (EOL) electronics in remanufacturing sites. Nevertheless, the process remains labor-intensive due to EOL electronics’ high degree of uncertainty and complexity. The robotic technology can assist in improving disassembly efficiency; however, the characteristics of EOL electronics pose difficulties for robot operation, such as removing small components. For such tasks, detecting small objects is critical for robotic disassembly systems. Screws are widely used as fasteners in ordinary electronic products while having small sizes and varying shapes in a scene. To enable robotic systems to disassemble screws, the location information and the required tools need to be predicted. This paper proposes a computer vision framework for detecting screws and recommending related tools for disassembly. First, a YOLOv4 algorithm is used to detect screw targets in EOL electronic devices and a screw image extraction mechanism is executed based on the position coordinates predicted by YOLOv4. Second, after obtaining the screw images, the EfficientNetv2 algorithm is applied for screw shape classification. In addition to proposing a framework for automatic small-object detection, we explore how to modify the object detection algorithm to improve its performance and discuss the sensitivity of tool recommendations to the detection predictions. A case study of three different types of screws in EOL electronics is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework.
Type Synthesis of Modular Polyhedral Mechanisms Based on the Generalized Mechanism Models of Regular Polyhedron
Authors: Kong Fanchen , Liu Jingfang , Ding Huafeng , Gao Guohua 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
An integrated type synthesis method for polyhedral mechanisms based on polyhedron is proposed. The properties of the polyhedron are considered and the corresponding generalized mechanism is built based on strategies that geometric components are regarded as construction members. Topological graph and configuration matrix are used to describe the generalized mechanism. The target mechanism and its descriptions are obtained from the generalized mechanism via designing the construction members appropriately. Possible types are then enumerated using set operations according to the configuration matrix. The axes of the kinematic pairs are set based on the geometric properties of the polyhedron. Degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) of those possible types are calculated using the modified G–K criterion based on screw theory, and the type synthesis results with DOF more than 0 are obtained. Tetrahedral mechanisms with revolute and sliding pairs are synthesized, and they have 135 configuration results with lower-mobility, which validates the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method. Some application examples of the tetrahedral mechanisms are further illustrated for potential values of synthesized mechanisms in robot field.

Authors: Gao Yuan , Yang Fufu , Zhang Jun 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a new reconfigurable 6R linkage is obtained by combining two identical equilateral Bennett linkages arranged in a plane-symmetric manner, and a detailed kinematic analysis is conducted which shows that there are six distinct motion modes and three topological structures of the derived mechanism without changing the types of kinematic joints. Explicit relationships among the kinematic variables are obtained with D–H method and various modes are discussed in detail. Bifurcation points are derived and the reconfigurations are analyzed. The result shows that the mechanism has six motion modes which contain a special case of a plane-symmetric 6R mode and a special case of a two-fold symmetric 6R mode, an X-shaped motion mode, and two V-shaped motion modes. A physical prototype is fabricated to verify the derivation and it shows that the mechanism can transform among all the motion modes without the need of reassembling.
Numerical Investigations on Effect of Inflow Parameters on Development of Secondary Flow Field for Linear Low-Pressure Turbine Cascade

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Endwall flows contribute the most crucial role in loss generation for axial flow turbine and compressor blades. These losses lead to modifying the blade loading and overall performance in terms of stable operating range. The present study aimed to determine the endwall flow streams in a low-speed low-pressure linear turbine cascade vane using a numerical approach. The study includes two sections. The first section includes an attempt to understand different secondary flow streams available at the endwall. The location of the horseshoe vortex and subsequent vortex patterns are identified in the section. The selection of a suitable turbulence model among shear stress transport (SST) k–ω and SST γ–θ to identify endwall flow streams is studied prior to the section. The steady-state numerical study is performed using Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations closed by the SST γ–θ turbulence model. The computational results are validated with experimental results available in the literature and are found to be in good agreement. The study is extended for different inflow conditions in a later section. The second section includes the effect of flow incidence and turbulence intensity on the endwall secondary flow field. Four different inflow incidences are considered for the study. The inlet turbulence intensities are varied by 1% and 10% for each case. The results revealed different secondary flow patterns at an endwall and found the change in behavior with inflow conditions. SST γ–θ turbulence model with lower turbulence intensity is more suitable to identify such flow behavior.
