Sexual passion in couple relationships: Emerging patterns from dyadic response surface analysis
Authors: Busby Dean M. , Hanna‐Walker Veronica , Leonhardt Nathan D. , Kim James J. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to explore the interrelationship between one partner's inhibited sexual passion (ISP) and the other partner's obsessive sexual passion (OSP) and how these two types of extrinsically motivated passion were associated with sexual satisfaction.BackgroundPrevious research has shown that ISP and OSP are common in many couple relationships and are associated with lower levels of sexual outcomes than harmonious sexual passion, a balanced intrinsically motivated passion. However, it is not known how these two types of passion interact and are associated with sexual satisfaction.MethodsBy combining two convenience dyadic samples, we were able to evaluate the interrelationship between these passion styles with 713 mixed‐sex couples. Sexual passion and satisfaction were measured using established instruments and the data were analyzed using dyadic response surface analysis.ResultsResults indicated that when men considered their sexual passion style to be OSP and their partner's to be ISP this was associated with significantly lower levels of sexual satisfaction for both partners. In contrast, higher levels of OSP in women, as rated by either partner, were associated with higher levels of sexual satisfaction, especially when coupled with lower levels of ISP in men.ConclusionOverall, ISP had a strong negative effect on sexual satisfaction for both partners, while the influence of OSP was most clear when considered simultaneously with levels of ISP as it was different for males and females. The results illustrate the benefit of evaluating couple sexual passions simultaneously and interactively for both partners to understand their associations with sexual outcomes.
Characterization of supply of marine finfish species with potential for commercial growth in the United States
Authors: Engle Carole R. , van Senten Jonathan , Schwarz Michael H. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractGlobal production of marine finfish has grown in total volume of production and the number of species farmed commercially, but there has been little production in the United States of marine finfish other than salmon and red drum. For most species considered to be ready for commercialization, there are few or no farms from which to evaluate the size of the market or to estimate revenues and costs necessary to assess economic feasibility. This present study takes a first step to fill this gap with an analysis of the existing supply of 20 marine finfish species identified as candidates for commercialization in the United States, as a proxy for effective demand (the volume of a product sold at the market equilibrium price). Secondary data from 1950 (where available) through 2019 were compiled on each species, including (1) global aquaculture production, (2) US aquaculture production, (3) US commercial landings, (4) US recreational landings, and (5) imports. Current effective market demand (measured as the sum of commercial landings, farmed production, and imports) was low, totaling 36.6 million kg across the 20 species, which is equivalent to less than 23% of the annual volume sold of US farmed catfish. Commercial landings for 17 of the 20 species exhibited declines, potentially offering opportunities for farmed product to capture market share by filling the increasing gaps in supply. The variability in commercial landings provides opportunities for farms to capitalize on their advantage in supplying product with a high degree of consistency of volume, size, delivery frequency, and quality. Several unknown factors suggest the need for follow‐up studies on consumer preferences, degree of substitutability among finfish species, and effects of recreational landings on demand. An important limitation to prospective producers is the lack of species‐specific import data for the generic categories of “flounder,” “bass,” and “snapper.” This supply analysis provides a foundational analysis for prospective producers, investors, and researchers interested in commercialization of these marine species.

Published: October 2022

Summary

Spatial redistribution of nutrients by atmospheric transport and deposition could theoretically act as a continental‐scale mechanism which counteracts declines in soil fertility caused by nutrient lock‐up in accumulating biomass in tropical forests in Central Africa. However, to what extent it affects carbon sinks in forests remains elusive.

Here we use a terrestrial biosphere model to quantify the impact of changes in atmospheric nitrogen and phosphorus deposition on plant nutrition and biomass carbon sink at a typical lowland forest site in Central Africa.

We find that the increase in nutrient deposition since the 1980s could have contributed to the carbon sink over the past four decades up to an extent which is similar to that from the combined effects of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change. Furthermore, we find that the modelled carbon sink responds to changes in phosphorus deposition, but less so to nitrogen deposition.

The pronounced response of ecosystem productivity to changes in nutrient deposition illustrates a potential mechanism that could control carbon sinks in Central Africa. Monitoring the quantity and quality of nutrient deposition is needed in this region, given the changes in nutrient deposition due to human land use.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundCompared with fresh blood, stored equine donor blood results in spurious tube crossmatch incompatibilities. Interpretation of blood crossmatch results is considered subjective.ObjectivesWe aimed to determine if the duration of canine donor blood storage impacts compatibility testing using a standard gel column crossmatch and evaluate interobserver variation in the interpretation of crossmatch results.MethodsObservational study. Whole blood segments were obtained from 23 canine packed red blood cell (RBC) units for use in crossmatches after storage for 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days. Major and minor crossmatches were performed using serum and RBCs, respectively, from two to three healthy “recipient” dogs per unit. All crossmatch results were interpreted by four observers, of whom three were blinded.ResultsAll major crossmatches (n = 61) were compatible on day 0 and remained compatible through day 35 of storage. All minor crossmatches (n = 69) were compatible at all time points, except for five donor pairs with 1 to 3+ agglutination. Repeat testing of these five donor pairs confirmed crossmatch incompatibilities on days 0 through 35, with no change in the degree of incompatibility over time. There was substantial agreement among four observers in determining compatibility (κ = 0.94) and scoring incompatibility (κ = 0.76).ConclusionsThe current practice of performing canine crossmatches with whole blood segments stored for up to 35 days is acceptable, with no spurious changes in compatibility expected over time. The substantial interobserver agreement suggests that the gel column is suitable for performing canine crossmatches in a laboratory setting with multiple personnel.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesAllergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) and febrile non‐haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) are common, although their mechanisms remain unclear. Immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated type I hypersensitivity may be involved in the pathogenesis of ATR. A basophil activation test (BAT) may help elucidate this process.Materials and MethodsThe BAT was based on peripheral blood samples from paediatric patients with a haematological or oncological disease and on samples of residual blood products transfused in each case. Dasatinib was used to evaluate whether basophil activation was mediated by an IgE‐dependent pathway.ResultsTwenty‐seven patients with and 19 patients without ATR/FNHTR were included in this study, respectively. The median BAT values associated with ATR‐ (n = 41) and FNHTR‐causing (n = 5) blood products were 22.1% (range = 6.1%–77.0%) and 27.8% (range = 15.2%–47.8%), respectively, which were higher than the median value of 8.5% (range = 1.1%–40.9%) observed in blood products without a transfusion reaction. Dasatinib suppressed basophil activity. BAT values were comparable in patients with ATR regardless of severity. Meanwhile, BAT values analysed with blood products non‐causal for ATR/FNHTR were higher in patients with ATR/FNHTR than in those without.ConclusionThe IgE‐mediated type I hypersensitivity may be involved in the pathogenesis of ATR and FNHTR. BAT analyses may help elucidate the underlying mechanisms and identify patients at risk.

The manual histology assessment on the biopsy tissue sample still remains the gold standard procedure for cancer and its progression in human body. Auto nuclei segmentation is an important method to measure cellularity but often suffered an issue due to the present of overlapping nuclei. The implementation of auto segmentation of cells could speed up the process of histology assessment for cancer cases. The first step to implement, a wide data profile of normal and cancerous need to be compile and analyze further as a reference guide. Tissue data profile can be collected based on cellularity property of the tissue which can be automatically segmented using MATLAB software. The objective of the study is to develop an auto nuclei segmentation using MATLAB software to measure cellularity between normal and cancerous cells of lymph node tissue. Histological images of the tissue were analyzed using MATLAB software by using thresholding method and the result was compared with ImageJ. The pre-processing part of the image processing incudes converting the image into 8-bit grayscale image. The segmentation parts include adaptive filtering to remove the noise using Wiener filter and the thresholding Otsu method. Results from the ImajeJ and manual counting on the cellularity shows a comparable results to the automated cellularity measured using MATLAB. The cellularity of the cancerous lymph nodes was found lower than normal lymph nodes.
The Influence of Hand Tracking and Haptic Feedback for Virtual Prototype Evaluation in the Product Design Process

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Product evaluation throughout the design process is a fundamental task for product success, which also helps to reduce design-related costs. Physical prototyping is a common method to assess design alternatives, but often requires significant amounts of time and money. Extended reality (XR) technologies are changing how products are presented to the user, making virtual prototyping an effective tool for product evaluation. However, it is generally assumed that our perceptual and emotional responses to a product viewed in an XR modality are comparable to those elicited by the physical product. This paper reports the results of a study where a group of participants evaluated three designs of a product (i.e., umbrella stands) when viewed in a real setting, virtual reality (VR), and VR with passive haptics. Our goal was to observe the influence of visual media in product perception, and how the use of a complementary item (i.e., a physical umbrella) for interaction as well as user design expertise influence product assessment. Results show that the Jordan’s psycho-pleasure category of assessment was the most affected by the presentation medium, whereas the ideo-pleasure category was the only category not influenced by the medium. We also highlight that the use of VR with passive haptics could be an effective tool for product evaluation, as illustrated by the study of umbrella stands and young consumers. Our study also shows that the user’s background does not influence the level of confidence in their responses, but it can influence the assessment of certain product features. Finally, the use of a complementary item for interaction may have a significant effect on product perception.
Deterioration and Instability of Heat Transfer to H2O/CO2 Mixtures in Near-Critical Region for Horizontal Flow
Authors: Zhang Hanlin , Liu Dong , Li Qiang 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this work, we experimentally investigated the deterioration and instability of heat transfer to H2O/CO2 mixtures in the near-critical region, following our series of works on their normal and enhanced heat transfer, hydraulic resistance, and thermophysical properties. The experimental pressure is 24 MPa, temperatures are 330–400 °C, CO2 mass fractions are 9.8 and 15.0%, mass fluxes are above 940 kg/m2/s, heat fluxes are below 211 kW/m2, and flow is horizontal. Experiments show that the heat transfer deterioration for the supercritical H2O/CO2 mixture occurs when the fluid temperature is lower than the pseudo-critical temperature (Tpc) and the wall temperature is higher than Tpc, similar to the condition for supercritical pure fluids, but the onset heat flux is much lower. Results also show that the heat transfer instability for the supercritical H2O/CO2 mixture occurs not only moderately near Tpc (similar to supercritical pure fluids) but also more significantly near the critical miscible temperature. All of these distinct phenomena were attributed to the mixture feature.
Forced Response Induced by Low Engine Order Under Circumferential Inlet Distortions With Different Extents

Abstract
Boundary-layer ingestion systems have the potential to improve propulsion efficiency using fluid with lower momentum near the airframe. However, they also bring variations in the velocity and total pressure, leading to a complex distortion of the flow at the inlet stage in the form of a circumferential step variation with significant strength. Previous simulation of NASA Rotor 67 under a 120-deg sector distortion revealed the occurrence of first-order bending mode excited by the second engine order (2EO) under circumferentially distorted inflow. To explore if the variation of distortion extent could affect the excited mode, five cases are simulated for different sector angles of distortion extent: 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 deg. The result of modal-force analysis demonstrates that the modal force increases from the 60-deg case to the 90-deg case and then decreases from the 90-deg case to the 180-deg case, and the lowest value is reached in the 180-deg case. To further investigate the excitation sources leading to such variations of modal force, the harmonic force caused by periodic flow is analyzed based on the Fourier decomposition. The results indicate two main sources for the excitation of 2EO: (1) the harmonic force induced by the distorted inflow, and (2) the dynamic response of the fan blade caused by a sudden drop of inlet total pressure and controlled by the time constant.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
By leveraging the additive manufacturing (AM) platform, development time and costs for turbine component testing can be reduced relative to traditional investment casting. Surface roughness is a key characteristic of the additive manufacturing process that can impact flow, heat transfer, and mechanical integrity of printed components. There are multiple design and build considerations that result in variability in surface roughness, especially when additively fabricating complicated three-dimensional vanes and internal cooling passages. This study characterizes the surface roughness of internal cooling passages, vanes, and flat external surface samples made using additive manufacturing, specifically the direct metal laser sintering process. The samples were manufactured with various wall thicknesses, layer thicknesses, build locations, build directions, and on different AM machines. A combination of computed tomography scanning and optical profilometry was used to evaluate surface roughness levels. The data indicate that the dominant factors in roughness for a given layer thickness are a function of wall thickness, build location, and build direction.
Investigating the Increase in Energy Storage Density of Subsea Hydro-Pneumatic Accumulators Using a Compressible Fluid Undergoing Phase Change

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The integration of energy storage systems (ESS) on a large-scale is becoming essential to mitigate intermittency issues in power supply from offshore wind farms. This paper deals with an offshore Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage (HPES) system comprising of a subsea accumulator pre-charged with a compressed gas. The paper applies a simplified thermodynamic model to investigate the potential increase in the energy storage density of the proposed HPES system by replacing air with carbon dioxide (CO2) that is able to undergo a phase change (gas-liquid-gas) during the storage cycle when limiting the peak operating pressure below the critical point. The study is based on a numerical model for simulating the thermodynamics of the entire storage cycle. A sensitivity study is conducted to examine the influence of main operational parameters, primarily the seawater temperature, peak working pressure and sea depth, on the storage density of the HPES system operating with a dual phase fluid. It is shown that the storage density of HPES accumulators can be increased substantially by using CO2 in lieu of air. The increase in density is found to depend considerably on the seawater temperature and sea depth.

Abstract
Control of cuttings in well drilling results in higher operation performance and mitigation of critical pipe stuck events. Nowadays, digital twins for rig operations drive drilling automation services, where hole cleaning is a continuous and essential process. For efficient automation, models should enable real-time evaluation of cuttings transport.
This work presents a pragmatic transient one-dimensional model of cuttings transport in the annular section. The model is based on a coupling of the drift-flux model with a two-layer approach. The one-dimensional implementation presented here solves the momentum and mass conservation equations of drilling fluid with cuttings, and mass conservation equation for suspended cuttings. The latter is coupled with the mass conservation equation of stationary cuttings through erosion and deposition fluxes. The direction of the fluxes is determined according to the maximal cuttings bed heights evaluated with mechanistic models. Moreover, the rates of the fluxes are functions of operating parameters. We make use of diverse closure relations available in the literature for cuttings bed heights, slip velocities and pressure losses and combine them with new closures derived from CFD simulations of wellbore segments. The CFD-based closure relations consider drill string eccentricity and rotation.
The model can supply equivalent circulating densities (ECD), equivalent static densities (ESD) and cuttings volume returns. We validate the model with field data from the North Sea, where all the necessary data to set up the case was available: (1) wellbore survey points, (2) wellbore and drill string geometry, (3) drilling mud rheological properties, (4) cuttings properties, (5) mud composition, (6) temperature points and (7) operating parameters recorded with a frequency of 1 Hz. We compare simulation and measurement of ECD values and cuttings returns. The combination of the transient cuttings transport model with appropriate preprocessing of the input drilling fluid density and rate of penetration results in ECD predictions with errors below 0.02 specific gravity.

Abstract
The open-source code DualSPHysics, based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for solving fluid mechanics problems, defines a complete numerical environment for simulating the interaction of floating structures with waves and currents, and includes external libraries to simulate kinematic- and dynamic-type restrictions. In this work, we propose a full validation of the presented SPH framework using validation data available for an experimental test campaign on a 1:37th-scale FOWT TLP. The first set of validation cases includes a surge decay test, to assess the quality of the fluid-solid interaction, and regular wave tests, which stimulate the mooring system to a large extent. During this phase, tendons (tension legs) that are simulated by MoorDyn+ are validated. Secondly, the numerical model has proven to predict with a high degree of accuracy the response of the investigated TLP under regular waves. Spectral comparison shows that the model is able to capture the surge and pitch dynamic amplification that occurs around the resonant fundamental mode of vibration.
