Authors: Sun Limin , Jiang Huaizhi 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the meat quality of Qianhua Mutton Merino sheep (QHMM). QHMM and Small-tail Han sheep (STH) were selected as the test animals. After slaughtering, the longissimus dorsi muscles were tested to determine the nutrient composition, content of amino acid, fatty acid, and muscle fiber diameter. According to the nutrient test result, the protein content of QHMM was higher than that of STH. However, the fat content was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than STH. Additionally, total amino acid content, total essential amino acid content, total half-essential amino acid content, total non-essential amino acid content, and flavor amino acid content of QHMM were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of STH. Moreover, the contents of C22:1 n9, C18:2 n6, C18:3 n6, C22:6 n6, and C10:0 of the muscle in QHMM were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of STH. Furthermore, the essential amino acid score, the total unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio, and the polyunsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio of QHMM were greater than those of STH. Additionally, the muscle fiber diameter of QHMM was considerably lower (P < 0.01) than that of STH. In conclusion, the meat quality of QHMM was better than that of STH.

Categorizing and translating abbreviations and acronyms
Authors: Imre Attila 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe popularity of various types of abbreviations makes it necessary to rediscuss their categorization and possible disambiguation. We rely on categorization types applied in cognitive linguistics, also confronting definitions and forms stemming from both linguistic and software-based approaches. A major distinction is observed between abbreviations resulting from one-word and multi-word sequences, leading to various subtypes with prototypical, less central, and hybrid cases. Although guidelines offer advice on their use, these rules should be re-evaluated in specific settings, such as subtitling and translation. While previous research on the topic focused on journal articles, we have collected a database of nearly 13,000 abbreviations and acronyms from five American TV series with the help of a specially designed algorithm. Our research also highlights the importance of punctuation, exemplifying some of the most frequent ones with alternative versions (with or without period) and discusses the Romanian and Hungarian translations of a well-known American agency. The concluding remarks mention that even if subtitle conventions are not severely regulated, a database of acronyms may significantly improve quality, especially in the case of TV series.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Recycled rubber particles can be produced by using waste tires. Adding recycled rubber particles to concrete can form rubber concrete (RC). RC can not only reduce the amount of natural sand and reduce the cost of concrete but also improve the static compressive toughness of concrete. Adding steel fiber into RC can improve the strength of concrete. In order to study the compressive toughness of steel fiber rubber concrete (SFRC), rubber particles washed with NaOH are added to steel fiber reinforced concrete. This can enhance the bonding performance between the recycled rubber particles and concrete. The volume ratio of recycled rubber is 5, 10, and 15%. Prismatic and cubic test blocks were prepared and their compressive tests were carried out. The results show that the stress interaction between the rubber particles and steel fiber in concrete significantly improves the compressive strength, elastic modulus, and stress–strain relationship of concrete. The compressive toughness and ductility of concrete are improved. When the content of rubber particles is 15–20%, the compressive toughness of SFRC is improved most obviously. Through experiments, the toughness index and specific toughness of rubber steel fiber reinforced concrete are calculated, which explores a new way and method for studying the compressive toughness of similar recycled material concrete.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
We evaluated the accuracy of the quantitative and semiquantitative analysis in detecting regional atrophy patterns and differentiating mild cognitive impairment patients who remain stable (aMCI-S) from patients who develop Alzheimer’s disease (aMCI-AD) at clinical follow-up. Baseline magnetic resonance imaging was used for quantitative and semiquantitative analysis using visual rating scales. Visual rating scores were related to gray matter thicknesses or volume measures of some structures belonging to the same brain regions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess measures’ accuracy in differentiating aMCI-S from aMCI-AD. Comparing aMCI-S and aMCI-AD patients, significant differences were found for specific rating scales, for cortical thickness belonging to the middle temporal lobe (MTL), anterior temporal (AT), and fronto-insular (FI) regions, for gray matter volumes belonging to MTL and AT regions. ROC curve analysis showed that middle temporal atrophy, AT, and FI visual scales showed better diagnostic accuracy than quantitative measures also when thickness measures were combined with hippocampal volumes. Semiquantitative evaluation, performed by trained observers, is a fast and reliable tool in differentiating, at the early stage of disease, aMCI patients that remain stable from those patients that may progress to AD since visual rating scales may be informative both about early hippocampal volume loss and cortical thickness reduction.

Abstract
Ferioli, D, Conte, D, Rucco, D, Alcaraz, PE, Vaquera, A, Romagnoli, M, and Rampinini, E. Physical demands of elite male and female 3×3 international basketball matches. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): e289–e296, 2023—This study aimed to (1) characterize the physical demands of 3 × 3 basketball games during live playing time and ball possession and (2) assess the differences in physical demands between male and female players. Following an observational design, video footage from 27 games of the International Basketball Federation 3 × 3 World Cup 2019 were analyzed from 104 international 3 × 3 basketball players (n = 52 male and n = 52 female players) resulting in a total of 216 (104 male and 112 female) individual game samples. Manual frame-by-frame time-motion analyses determined the relative frequency (n·min−1) and duration (%) for several physical demands at different intensities, according to sex, during the live playing time and in ball possession phases. Linear mixed models for repeated measures and effect size (ES) analyses revealed small non-significant differences in the intermittent profile of 3 × 3 basketball games according to sex (total movements per minute, male = 39.3 (38.6–40.1); female = 40.2 (39.5–41.0), estimated marginal means with 95% confidence intervals). Female competitions had significantly greater number of low-intensity activities (LIA, small ES) and high-intensity activities (HIA, small ES) performed per minute over longer games (small ES), whereas male players had more recovery activities (small ES). During ball possession, male players spent a larger amount of time performing LIA (small ES) than female players, who displayed both the greatest number of HIA and the highest percentage of playing time performed at high intensity (small ES). Overall, these findings suggest that basketball coaches should design sex-specific training sessions based on the specific match demands.

Abstract
Li, J, Davies, TB, and Hackett, DA. Self-reported training and supplementation practices between performance-enhancing drug-user bodybuilders compared with natural bodybuilders. J Strength Cond Res 37(5): 1079–1088, 2023—This study aimed to examine whether the training and supplementation practices differ between performance-enhancing drug (PED)-using bodybuilders (BB) and natural BB. One hundred eighty-seven competitive male bodybuilders with a median age of 27.0 years completed an online survey. Of this sample, 40 respondents reported using PED (PED-user) and 147 respondents reported to be natural. Compared with natural BB, PED-user BB reported greater off-season body weight (p < 0.001) and weight loss before a competition (p < 0.001). In the off-season, PED-user BB performed a greater number of exercises per muscle group (p < 0.001), number of repetition maximum (RM) per set (p < 0.01), and less recovery between the sets (p < 0.01). During the precompetition phase, the natural BB increased their number of RM; however, the PED-user BB still reported using a greater number of RM per set (p = 0.02), exercises per muscle group (p < 0.001), and less recovery time between the sets (p < 0.01). Both the PED-user BB and natural BB reported greater aerobic exercise frequency (p < 0.001) and session duration (p < 0.001), although PED-user BB performed a greater number of aerobic exercise sessions (p = 0.04) and at a higher intensity (p < 0.01). Advanced training techniques, including negatives, partial repetitions, preexhaustion sets, and timed repetitions, were more popular among PED-user BB (p < 0.05). Creatine monohydrate usage was more popular among natural BB (p < 0.001), whereas branched-chain and essential amino acids were more popular among PED-user BB (p ≤ 0.001). Findings suggest that PED-user BB perform more metabolically demanding resistance training sessions, more strenuous aerobic training during the precompetition phase, and may have different supplementation preferences compared with natural BB.

Preferred Operators and Deferred Evaluation in Satisficing Planning
Authors: Richter Silvia , Helmert Malte 
Published: September 2022

Heuristic forward search is the dominant approach to satisficing planning to date. Most successful planning systems, however, go beyond plain heuristic search by employing various search-enhancement techniques. One example is the use of helpful actions or preferred operators, providing information which may complement heuristic values. A second example is deferred heuristic evaluation, a search variant which can reduce the number of costly node evaluations. Despite the wide-spread use of these search-enhancement techniques however, we note that few results have been published examining their usefulness. In particular, while various ways of using, and possibly combining, these techniques are conceivable, no work to date has studied the performance of such variations. In this paper, we address this gap by examining the use of preferred operators and deferred evaluation in a variety of settings within best-first search. In particular, our findings are consistent with and help explain the good performance of the winners of the satisficing tracks at IPC 2004 and 2008.
Using Physics- and Sensor-based Simulation for High-Fidelity Temporal Projection of Realistic Robot Behavior
Authors: Mösenlechner Lorenz , Beetz Michael 
Published: September 2022

Planning means deciding on the future course of action based on predictions of what will happen when an activity is carried out in one way or the other. As we apply action planning to autonomous, sensor-guided mobile robots with manipulators or even to humanoid robots we need very realistic and detailed predictions of the behavior generated by a plan in order to improve the robot's performance substantially.In this paper we investigate the high-fidelity temporal projection of realistic robot behavior based on physics- and sensor-based simulation systems. We equip a simulator and interpreter with means to log simulated plan executions into a database. A logic-based query and inference mechanism then retrieves and reconstructs the necessary information from the database and translates the information into a first-order representation of robot plans and the behavior they generate. The query language enables the robot planning system to infer the intentions, the beliefs, and the world state at any projected time. It also allows the planning system to recognize, diagnose, and analyze various plan failures typical for performing everyday manipulation tasks.
Improving Planning Performance Using Low-Conflict Relaxed Plans
Authors: Baier Jorge , Botea Adi 
Published: September 2022

The FF relaxed plan heuristic is one of the most effective techniques in domain-independent satisficing planning and is used by many state-of-the-art heuristic-search planners. However, it may sometimes provide quite inaccurate information, since its relaxation strategy, which ignores the delete effects of actions, may oversimplify a problem's structure. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for computing relaxed plans which — although still relaxed — aim at respecting much of the structure of the original problem. We accomplish this by generating relaxed plans with a reduced number of conflicts. An action a will add a conflict when added to a relaxed plan if the resulting plan is provably illegal (i.e, not executable) in the un-relaxed problem. As a second contribution, we propose a new lookahead strategy, in the spirit of Vidal's YAHSP lookahead, that can better exploit the contents of relaxed plans. In our experimental analysis, we show that the resulting heuristic improves over the FF heuristic in a number of domains, most notably when lookahead is enabled. Moreover, the resulting system, which uses our new lookahead, is competitive with state-of-the-art planners, and even better in terms of the number of solved problems.
Fault Tolerant Planning: Complexity and Compilation
Authors: Domshlak Carmel 
Published: September 2022

In the context of modeling and reasoning about agent actions, contingent and classical planning can often be respectively seen as adopting ``extreme pessimism'' and ``extreme optimism'' about the action outcomes. For many everyday scenarios of human reasoning (and thus for many types of autonomous systems), both these approaches are just too extreme. Following Jensen, Veloso, and Bryant (2004), we examine a planning model that interpolates between classical and contingent planning via tolerance to arbitrary k faults occurring during plan execution. We show that an important fragment of this fault tolerant planning (FT-planning) exhibits both an appealing solution structure, as well as appealing worst-case time-complexity properties. We also show that such FT-planning tasks can be efficiently compiled into classical planning as long as the number of possible faults per operator is bounded by a constant, and we show that this compilation can be attractive in practice.
Thompson Sampling Based Monte-Carlo Planning in POMDPs
Authors: Bai Aijun , Wu Feng , Zhang Zongzhang , Chen Xiaoping 
Published: September 2022

Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) has been drawing great interest in recent years for planning under uncertainty. One of the key challenges is the trade-off between exploration and exploitation. To address this, we introduce a novel online planning algorithm for large POMDPs using Thompson sampling based MCTS that balances between cumulative and simple regrets. The proposed algorithm Dirichlet-Dirichlet-NormalGamma based Partially Observable Monte-Carlo Planning (D2NG-POMCP) treats the accumulated reward of performing an action from a belief state in the MCTS search tree as a random variable following an unknown distribution with hidden parameters. Bayesian method is used to model and infer the posterior distribution of these parameters by choosing the conjugate prior in the form of a combination of two Dirichlet and one NormalGamma distributions. Thompson sampling is exploited to guide the action selection in the search tree. Experimental results confirmed that our algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on several common benchmark problems.
The Complexity of Partial-Order Plan Viability Problems
Authors: Tan Xing , Gruninger Michael 
Published: September 2022

Estimating the distance from a current partial-order plan to the goal state of the plan task is a challenging problem, with past research achieving only limited success. In an effort to understand the reasons for this situation, we investigate the computational complexity of the partial-order plan viability problem. We define several boundaries between the tractable and intractable subclasses of the problem, from which we identify several constraints that contribute to the computational intractability of the problem. These results bring new insights into the design and the development of future partial-order planning heuristics.

<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><br />Cooking activities in the traditional kitchen or in the domestic area—which are supposed to be the domain of women—are interpreted as an obligation as well as a form of a woman’s service to her family, spouse, children, and even other people who are close to her life. In other words, cooking in the domestic area is an undefined job. Regardless of the fact, when cooking shifted to the public space, it turned into a professional job , a work area which was later known as the professional kitchen. People who work in a professional kitchen are given the title professional chef. Ironically, such a professional kitchen, often thought to be easily controlled by women—who for centuries have always been related to cooking activities—is actually controlled and dominated by men, starting from culinary studies (tata boga) to the industry. As a skill, cooking is actually an activity that can be performed by anyone, regardless of gender. In reality, cooking activities, in both traditional and professional kitchens, place women in a marginal and subordinate position. To learn why women, who are often considered as “the queen of the traditional kitchen”, find it difficult to control and dominate professional kitchens, we examine a number of studies that have analyzed the professional life of female chefs as well as various forms of gender inequality in the chefs’ workplace or the professional kitchen.</p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
