Abstract
Introduction
: Disaster planning is of significant importance for the healthcare professional and the healthcare setting. Hospital-based disaster protocols form the cornerstone of disaster response. There is a paucity of data on disaster preparedness training using the Virtual Tabletop exercise (VTTX) module for interprofessional education from in-hospital and prehospital settings. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a paradigm shift of education strategies to the virtual realm. Here we attempt to study the impact of an online tabletop exercise workshop on the knowledge and confidence of disaster preparedness among Interprofessional trainees.
Methods
Interprofessional trainees from medical, dental, nursing, respiratory therapy, and paramedic domains who consented were included in this study. Institutional ethics committee approval was received and the study was registered with the clinical trials registry India (CTRI), before initiation. The VTTX module has been adapted from the WHO COVID-19 training resources. Three international experts from the disaster medicine domain validated the module, questionnaire, and feedback. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the parameters (Knowledge and confidence level) pre and post-workshop.
Results
A total of 76 candidates with a mean age was 21.67 ± 2.5 (Range:19–36) were part of the workshop. Comparison of the median scores and interquartile range of confidence level and knowledge respectively before [38 (29.25–45.75), 9 (7–11)] and after [51.50 (45–60), 11 (10–12)] the workshop showed vital significance (P-value < 0.001). All participants gave positive feedback on the workshop meeting the objectives. The majority agreed that the workshop improved their self-preparedness (90%) and felt that the online platform was appropriate (97.5%).
Conclusion
This study sheds light on the positive impact of the online VTTX workshop on disaster preparedness training among Interprofessional trainees. Disaster preparedness training using available online platforms may be effectively executed with a VTTX workshop even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The VICTEr workshop serves as a primer for developing online modules for effective pandemic preparedness training in interprofessional education.

Abstract
As an important water conservancy engineering project, reservoir regulation plays a crucial role in the insurance of water resources supply and demand balance and sustainable development and utilization, especially during drought seasons. The drought limited water level (DLWL) is the characteristic controlling water level of reservoir regulation operation during dry seasons, and the construction of reliable controlling schemes of DLWL is of great significance for the improvement of regional water resources utilization efficiency. Therefore, basing on the variation analysis of water inflowing series and water resources utilization characteristics among different sectors of Meishan Reservoir in Shihe Irrigation Area of China, firstly, the Hausdorff Dimensional Fractal (HDF) method was applied to divide drought early-warning periods of Meishan reservoir. Then, the initial scheme of DLWL of reservoir was determined through reservoir water inflow and water supply processes analysis during each drought warning periods of different typical hydrological years. And finally, the optimal dynamic controlling scheme of DLWL, described by drought warning water level (DWWL) and drought depleted water level (DDWL) respectively, was eventually proposed in this study based on the establishment of simulation and regulation model of reservoir and irrigation areas system. Moreover, the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed optimal controlling scheme of DLWL was further testified in terms of drought risk analysis of reservoir and irrigation area system under typical consecutive and annual drought scenarios, and meanwhile, the agricultural crop yield loss risk due to drought events corresponding to different controlling schemes of DLWL was also determined. The related research findings of this study could be favorable and beneficial for guiding drought-resistance regulation of reservoir and irrigation area system during drought seasons and providing reasonable decision-making basis of water resources utilization schemes as well.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Although eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of PTSD for years, it remains highly controversial due to the lack of understanding of its mechanisms of action. We examined whether the working memory (WM) hypothesis –the competition for limited WM resources induced by the dual task attenuates the vividness and emotionality of the traumatic memory – would provide an explanation for the beneficial effect induced by bilateral stimulation. We followed the Prisma guidelines and identified 11 articles categorized in two types of designs: studies involving participants with current PTSD symptoms and participants without PTSD diagnosis. Regardless of the types of studies, the results showed a reduction of vividness and emotionality in the recall of traumatic stimuli under a dual-task condition compared to a control condition, such as recall alone. However, two studies used a follow-up test to show that this effect does not seem to last long. Our results provide evidence for the WM hypothesis and suggest that recalling a traumatic memory while performing a secondary task would shift the individual’s attention away from the retrieval process and result in a reduction in vividness and emotionality, also associated with the reduction of symptoms

Abstract
Modern communication systems are probable to surface new challenges while introducing innovative fronts concerning context consciousness in wireless networks. The main outcome behind this expected technological jump will be a whole novel set of intuiting aptitudes forecasted for Fifth Generation (5G) enabled devices. In line with 5G, Software Defined Networking (SDN) is also rising as an intrinsically novel phenomenon. SDN is an unconventional methodology and key technology in modern communication. SDN maintains favorable novelty about network programmability, where network administration is permitted with extraordinary intellections. SDN architecture has the prospective to allow, simplify or augment security implementations in network through instantly reprogrammable centralized view of the data plane. In the near future, 5G and SDN will ripe mobile communication through the development of state-of-the-art implementations such as a smart city, advanced military security, modern national defense, intelligent traffic, etc.; thereby, these emerging mobile communication concepts invoke various significant topics, where security is a paramount implication. Therefore, we initiate our focus from basic architecture of 5G and SDN. Next, we analyze security requirements, solutions and challenges in joint paradigm of 5G and SDN. Further, considering the modern communication technological shift, we discuss future trends and research directions in the joint era of 5G and SDN technologies.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The mining of ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts in the deep sea have gained more attention in the last decade due to increased demand for rare earth elements that are critical for low-carbon technologies, which makes exploitation of this resource feasible and profitable. The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a distinct feature located in the South Atlantic and has become a region of great commercial and scientific interest because of its potential for mining Fe-Mn crusts. Extraction of Fe-Mn deposits may cause irreversible changes by removal of substrate, creation of sediment plumes, among others. Here, we use species distribution models (SDMs) to predict the occurrence of Sarostegia oculata, a branched hexactinellid that mimics the 3D skeletal framework of actual corals. It is the dominant organism in areas rich in Fe-Mn crusts and has relevant ecological importance in RGR. The models had excellent or good performance statistics and a high discrimination power between presence and absence sites. Our results support the relationship between S. oculata, the Fe-Mn crusts, and the rift at RGR, and may help to create a management plan and preserve unique marine habitats and biodiversity from the deep sea.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
To clarify the behaviors of indoor and outdoor particles in living spaces, the chemical components of particles were observed at high time resolution using an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). The measured components and amounts of the indoor and outdoor particles were compared between summer and winter in two apartments with significantly different environments. Comparing the indoor-to-outdoor (I/O) ratios in winter and summer, the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures caused the invasion of outdoor particles into indoor spaces or the formation of particles inside the living space. During indoor living, organic particles were measured as house dust that soared in the room on dry air, particularly during winter. The I/O ratio of NH4+ increased after humidifier movement and the irregular I/O ratios of NH4+ and NO3− increased when the outdoor temperature increased in summer, suggesting that secondary particles formation indoors through humidity and sunlight. When the value of the emission source was calculated from the I/O ratio, outside particles and indoor-formed particles dominated the living spaces in summer and winter, respectively.

Abstract
We design a new tidal power station as Fig. 1, including one impeller with some symmetrical vanes.The length of the vane is 6 meters; the width is 3 meters;and the shaft of the impeller is above the sea water surface 1 meter. If we can find a good place where the tidal flow speed can keep at 4(m/s) for about 3 hours each day,the same as the others,then,we can get one day energy of this tidal power station.Therefore ,we can see the working time of this tidal power station is 18 hours, and the other 6 hours energy is negligible.Then, we can calculate the total energy of this tidal power station in one day 2317(kwh)

Abstract
Saxitoxins (STXs) are carbamate alkaloid neurotoxins produced by some species of cyanobacteria. They are water soluble and relatively stable the natural environment, and thereby represent a risk to animal and human health through a long-time exposure. STXs cannot be sufficiently removed by conventional water treatment methods. Therefore, this study investigates the potential STX biodegradation by bacteria as a promising method for toxin removal. STX biodegradation experiments were conducted using Bacillus flexus SSZ01 strain in batch cultures. The results revealed that SSZ01 strain grew well and rapidly degraded STX, with no lag phase observed. STX biodegradation by SSZ01 strain was initial-toxin-concentration–dependent. The highest degradation rate (10µg STX L-1 day-1) was obtained at the highest initial toxin concentrations (50µg L-1) and the lowest (0.06µg STX L-1 day-1) was recorded at the lowest initial concentration (0.5µg L-1). STX biodegradation rate increased with temperature, with highest occurred at 30 ºC. This rate was also influenced by pH, with highest obtained at pH8 and lowest at higher and lower pH values. HPLC chromatograms showed that STX biodegradation peak is corresponding to the least SXT analogue (disulfated sulfocarbamoyl-C1 variant). The Artemia-based toxicity assay revealed that this degradation byproduct was nontoxic. This suggests the potential application of this bacterial strain in slow sand filters for cyanotoxin removal in water treatment plants. Being nontoxic, this byproduct needs to be assayed for its therapeutic effects towards neurodegenerative diseases.
Electronic signatures of anharmonic dynamics and charge fluctuations in Lithiated graphite

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Lithium graphite intercalation compounds (Li-GICs) are model energy storage systems and are essential materials for modern day portable electronics. Obtaining insights into their operando atomic structure and thermodynamics is thus of fundamental interest. Here we explore the electronic and atomic states of Li-GICs at varying degrees of Lithium loading (i.e., “staging”) by means of ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations and simulated X-ray adsorption spectroscopy (XAS). We analyze the atomic correlation functions and shows enhancements in the Lithium-ion entropy with staging, arising from anharmonic dynamics and charge fluctuations which activate low-energy phonon modes. This manifests electronically as modulations of the unoccupied π*/σ* orbital energy levels and modulations of the Carbon K-edge XAS spectra. Thus, we advance the idea that these “static” measurements in fact encodes the thermodynamic response of the system to electrochemical perturbation. This causal link between atomic and electronic structure, thermodynamics and spectroscopy, refines our understanding of electrochemical stability, and may suggest new degree of freedoms for tuning device performance.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The evolution of ultrafast-laser technology has steadily advanced the level of detail in studies of light-matter interactions. Here, we employ electric-field-resolved spectroscopy and quantum-chemical modelling to precisely measure and describe the complete coherent energy transfer between octave-spanning mid-infrared waveforms and vibrating molecules in aqueous solution. The sub-optical-cycle temporal resolution of our technique reveals alternating absorption and (stimulated) emission on a few-femtosecond time scale. This behaviour can only be captured when effects beyond the rotating wave approximation (RWA) are included in simulations using first-order time-dependent perturbation theory. At a timescale of femtoseconds to picoseconds, other energy transfer processes are observed, namely optical-phase-dependent coherent transients and the dephasing of the vibrations of resonantly excited methylsulfonylmethane (DMSO2) molecules due to their motion through varying environments in the solvent. Ab-initio modelling using density functional theory traces these dynamic processes back to molecular-scale sample properties. The absorbed and coherently re-emitted fractions of the optical energy impinging on the sample can be used as performance metrics for spectroscopic techniques that allow for the separation of absorption and re-emission in time and/or in space. The extension of our study to nonlinear interrogation of higher-order susceptibilities is fathomable with state-of-the-art lasers in the near future.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Purpose:Our objective was to investigate changes in the bacterial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of slag mountains in different years of revegetation restoration. 2. Methods: The bacterial community was analyzed through high-throughput sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Seven soils were selected from different years of revegetation restoration in Qinghai, China. Statistical analyses revealed that in 2017, the diversity of soil bacterial community was higher than that of other soils. 3. Results:The sequencing of 16S rRNA genes revealed that Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla at the phylum level. At the genus level, Sphingomonas was the dominant genus. Total nitrogen, available nitrogen, and total potassium significantly influenced the horizontal community structure of the phylum, whereas total nitrogen, organic matter, and pH had a great influence on the horizontal community structure of the phylum. The richness and diversity of the bacterial community in the soil that underwent revegetation restoration were greater in the third year (Y17) than in other years. In the seventh year of recovery, the richness and diversity of the bacterial community began to decline gradually. 4. Conclusion: The bacterial diversity of the coal mine slag mountain improved with the increase in vegetation restoration years. It will take a long time for Jiangcang mining area to restore to its original natural state, and measures such as reseeding and fertilization should be carried out in time after regreening to accelerate the improvement of soil ecological environment.

Abstract
The design-rule shrinkage in semiconductor devices is a challenge at every step of the integration process. In the gap-fill process for isolation, the seam and void formation cannot be suppressed by using a deposition process, which even has excellent step coverage. To achieve seamless gap fill in the high-aspect-ratio structure, which has a non-ideal etch profile such as a negative slope, the deposition process should be able to realize the “bottom-up growth” behavior. In this work, the bottom-up growth of a SiO2 plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) process in a trench structure was investigated by using a growth inhibition process employing plasma treatment. N2 and NH3 plasma pre-treatments were employed to suppress the growth of the SiO2 PE-ALD process without any contamination, and the inhibition mechanism was investigated by performing surface chemistry analyses using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the gap-fill characteristics of the SiO2 PE-ALD process were examined, depending on the process conditions of NH3 plasma pre-treatment, by performing cross-sectional field emission scanning electron microscopy measurements. Finally, a seamless gap-fill process in a high-aspect-ratio trench pattern was achieved by the bottom-up growth behavior of SiO2 PE-ALD using NH3 plasma pre-treatment.

A new 3D metal-organic framework {[Nd2L2]·2NH2(CH3)2·3H2O} (Nd-MOF) was successfully established via a solvothermal method with Nd3+ ion and 5-(bis(4-carboxybenzyl)amino) - isophthalicacid (H4L), and has also been characterized by X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), IR and photoluminescence(PL)spectrum. The neodymium ions are free of coordinated solvents, and the Nd-MOF exhibits strong near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence. Besides, its NIR fluorescence property shows low temperature resistance, which is favorable for being used in the low temperature environment.

Abstract

Background: Ischemic postconditioning (IPostC) has been reported as a promising method for protecting against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Our previous study found that the infarct-limiting effect of IPostC is abolished in the heart of diabetes whose cardiac expression of DJ-1 (also called PARK7, Parkinsonism associated deglycase) is reduced. However, the role and in particular the underlying mechanism of DJ-1 in the loss of sensitivity to IPostC-induced cardioprotection in diabetic hearts remains unclear. Methods: Streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats were subjected to MI/R injury by occluding the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and followed by reperfusion. IPostC was induced by three cycles of 10s of reperfusion and ischemia at the onset of reperfusion. AAV9-CMV-DJ-1, AAV9-CMV-C106S-DJ-1 or AAV9-DJ-1 siRNA were injected via tail vein to either over-express or knock-down DJ-1 three weeks before inducing MI/R. Results: Diabetic rats subjected to MI/R exhibited larger infarct area, more severe oxidative injury concomitant with significantly reduced cardiac DJ-1 expression and increased PTEN expression as compared to non-diabetic rats. AAV9-mediated cardiac DJ-1 overexpression, but not the cardiac overexpression of DJ-1 mutant C106S, restored IPostC-induced cardioprotection and this effect was accompanied by increased cytoplasmic DJ-1 translocation toward nuclear and mitochondrial, reduced PTEN expression, and increased Nrf-2/HO-1 transcription. Our further study showed that AAV9-mediated targeted DJ-1 gene knockdown aggravated MI/R injury in diabetic hearts, and this exacerbation of MI/R injury was partially reversed by IPostC in the presence of PTEN inhibition or Nrf-2 activation. Conclusions: These findings suggest that DJ-1 preserves the cardioprotective effect of IPostC against MI/R injury in diabetic rats through nuclear and mitochondrial DJ-1 translocation and that inhibition of cardiac PTEN and activation of Nrf-2/HO-1 may represent the major downstream mechanisms whereby DJ-1 preserves the cardioprotective effect of IPostC in diabetes.
