Holographic entanglement entropy with Power-MaxWell electrodynamics in higher dimensional AdS black hole spacetime
Authors: Wang Kongchen , Zhang Wanhe , Yao Weiping 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We investigate the behaviors of scalar operator and holographic entanglement entropy in metal/superconductor phase transition with Power-MaxWell electrodynamics in higher dimensional background away from the probe limit. We observe that the larger Power-MaxWell parameter b makes the phase transition more difficult and the critical temperature decreases more slowly as the factor b increases. In the belt geometry, we find that the holographic entanglement entropy is a powerful tool to probe the critical temperature and the order of the phase transition. At the phase transition point, the entanglement entropy increases with the increase of the factor b and the belt width of the geometry ℓ. Interestingly, the width ℓ has no effect on critical temperature of the phase transition.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Accurate predictions of water surface elevation (WSE) in rivers at high spatial and temporal resolution are important for flood/drought risk assessment and flood/drought forecasting and management. River WSE is the key parameter controlling inundation of the areas surrounding the river, river navigability and water availability, e.g. for cooling purposes and hydropower. WSE in a river is controlled by three main factors: discharge, riverbed geometry, and hydraulic roughness. In well-monitored rivers, discharge and riverbed geometry are known from in-situ monitoring stations and geodetic surveys, respectively, while effective hydraulic roughness is typically determined using inverse hydraulic modelling techniques. In remote and poorly instrumented rivers, both discharge and riverbed geometry are highly uncertain and WSE is therefore hard to predict. ICESat-2 laser altimetry provides accurate elevation transects across the river at very high spatial resolution (70 cm along track). Globally available digital elevation models have 30m resolution and ICESat-2 laser altimetry thus resolves river cross section geometry at a much higher level of detail and accuracy. This paper demonstrates how ICESat-2 elevation transects can be used to parameterize a basin-scale hydraulic model of a major river. The workflow is demonstrated for the transboundary Amur River in North-East Asia. Simulated WSE is subsequently validated against a large dataset of in-situ and satellite altimetry observations and we demonstrate that the model can reproduce available WSE observations throughout the basin with acceptable accuracy.

Abstract

Background: With the World Health Organization’s declaration of the 2022 multi-country monkeypox outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), we report the first confirmed case of monkeypox infection in a Filipino with clinical presentation different from the classic monkeypox cases previously reported in endemic countries of Central and West Africa before the 2022 outbreak. We describe monkeypox infection's gross and dermatopathological appearances on Southeast Asian brown skin. We also discuss the detailed process of monkeypox quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) testing for diagnostic confirmation and the pioneering application of shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterize the infecting virus.

Case Presentation: This was a case of a 31-year-old male Filipino with a travel history to several European countries. He developed five non-tender, well-defined, umbilicated pustules with erythematous borders on the upper lip, the left gluteal area, bilateral knees, and the left ankle. Skin punch biopsy findings were suggestive of a viral infection. Monkeypox infection from Clade II (previously known as the West African clade) was confirmed by detecting and amplifying the G2R_G, G2R_WA, and C3L gene targets using qPCR. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing subsequently identified a monkeypox genome sequence belonging to B.1.3 lineage of Clade IIb, associated with the current multi-country outbreak. The serologic varicella IgM test was positive but varicella PCR of the skin lesion and metagenomic sequencing did not indicate the presence of the varicella virus. The patient was discharged and continued isolation at home until all scabs had completely fallen off.

Conclusions: The presence of pustules among patients with risk factors such as possible close physical contact with infected individuals in areas with reported cases of monkeypox should raise suspicion for such an infection. Dermatopathological findings of the patient’s skin lesions were consistent with a viral infection but were non-specific for monkeypox infection. The establishment and optimization of the qPCR protocol were necessary to confirm monkeypox infection from Clade II. Metagenomic sequencing successfully characterized the etiologic agent of the first laboratory-confirmed monkeypox case in the Philippines belonging to Clade IIb which is mainly responsible for the 2022 monkeypox global outbreak.
Transient dynamics of an axially moving beam subject to continuously distributed moving mass
Authors: Hua Hongliang 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, the transverse vibrations of an axially moving cantilever beam subject to a continuously distributed moving mass is studied numerically. An elastic coupling coefficient is introduced to describe the actual elastic coupling effect between the beam and moving mass. The motion equations of the system are derived by Lagrange’s equation and Galerkin method. The Newmark-beta direct time integrating method is adopted to analyze the dynamic responses. The motion equations are verified by comparing the dynamic responses with previous literature. An interesting energy separation phenomenon is observed when the moving mass separates from the beam. The effects of moving mass parameters (moving mass velocity, length, and elastic coupling coefficient) on beam dynamics and the energy separation phenomenon are discussed. It has been observed that the elastic coupling effect between the beam and moving mass has a significant effect on beam dynamics.
What Really Drives Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from The Lasso Regularization and Inferential Techniques
Authors: Ofori Isaac K. , Obeng Camara K. , Asongu Simplice A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

The question of what really drives economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been debated for many decades now. However, there is still a lack of clarity on variables crucial for driving growth as prior contributions have been executed at the backdrop of preferential selection of covariates in the midst several of potential drivers of economic growth. The main challenge with such contribution is that even tenuous variables may be deemed influential under some model specifications and assumptions. To address this and inform policy appropriately, we train algorithms for four machine learning regularization techniques— the Standard lasso, the Adaptive lasso, the Minimum Schwarz Bayesian information criterion lasso, and the Elasticnet to study patterns in a dataset containing 113 covariates and identify the key variables affecting growth in SSA. We find that only 7 covariates are key for driving growth in SSA. Estimates of these variables are provided by running the lasso inferential techniques of double-selection linear regression, partialing-out lasso linear regression, and partialing-out lasso instrumental variable regression. Policy recommendations are also provided in line with the AfCFTA and the green growth agenda of the region.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
A programmable microfluidic organic analyzer is developed for detecting life signatures beyond Earth and for clinical monitoring of astronaut health. Extensive environmental tests including various gravitational fields are required to confirm the functionality of this analyzer and to advance its overall Technology Readiness Level (TRL). This work examines how a programmable microfluidic analyzer performs under simulated Lunar, Martian, zero, and hypergravity conditions during a parabolic flight. We confirm that the functionality of the programmable microfluidic analyzer is minimally affected by large changes in gravitational field, thus paving the way for its use in a variety of space mission opportunities.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a new nonlinear optimization model for multi-state multi-components systems considering with random and economic dependence is presented for Grate Cooler Fans maintenance problem in Cement industries. The objective function minimizes failure unreliability in future missions subject to cost and time constraints. Actually, the applied constraints caused operation time of carrying out maintenance can be extended to the predetermined time in return to pay its penalty. In the proposed model, economic dependence with the positive effect of simultaneous maintenance executions start time in different components is investigated. Furthermore, grate cooler fans performance is considered under the impression of effects of propagated failures with global effect and failure isolation phenomena that the occurrence probability of propagated failures with global effect on both of the drive and dependent components is discussed. Also, existing more than one drive components based on technical structures of grate cooler fans is possible. The computational results are presented on a real-world case study. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses on the main parameters of the problem are performed to derive some managerial insights that can help corresponding decision makers provide suitable and homogeneous maintenance services in the case study environment.

Agro-pastoralist (AOR, 0.50; 95%CI: 0.48, 0. 63), urban residence (AOR, 0.66; 95%CI: 0.48, 0.92), Orthodox religion followers (AOR, 0.58; 95%CI: 0.41, 0.81), marital statuses (AOR, 0.45; 95%CI: 0.20, 0.99), poor level of knowledge (AOR, 0.70; 95%CI: 0.52, 0.91], unfavorable attitude (AOR, 0.64; 95%CI: 0.50, 0.84] were less likely to utilize facility based Health Care.
Conclusions
Only 646 (25.5%) of respondents visited health facilities after the commencement of the COVID 19 pandemic. Activities to increase the utilization of essential health care services are crucial through appropriate information outlets.
Mechanism and kinetics of the pseudomorphic replacement of anhydrite by calcium phosphate phases at hydrothermal conditions
Authors: Roza-Llera Ana , Jiménez Amalia , Fernández-Díaz Lurdes 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Mineral replacement reactions mediated by fluids are common in sedimentary basins, where they influence geochemical cycles. Phosphorous (P) pollution of soils, sediments and water bodies is currently a widespread problem. Some apatite accumulations in sediments may have formed through the interaction of P-bearing aqueous solutions with mineral surfaces that result in mineral replacement reactions. Here, we investigate the pseudomorphic replacement of anhydrite single crystals by aggregates of β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite upon interaction with a P-bearing solution at temperatures between 120 and 200 °C. SEM imaging is used to study the texture of the aggregates. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction patterns and Raman spectra analysis of the reacted samples provide information on the kinetics of the replacement. At all temperatures β-tricalcium phosphate forms alongside hydroxyapatite at early stages of the replacement reaction. At T ≥ 180 °C, hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate ratio rapidly increases, and hydroxyapatite is the only phase in fully replaced samples. At T &lt; 180 °C hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate ratio increases slowly and fully replaced samples still contain significant amounts of β-tricalcium phosphate. The progress of the replacement is facilitated by the formation of porosity. The evolution of the hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate ratio and the crystal habit of both phases strongly influence the arrangement of this porosity. The empirical activation energy Ea (kJ/mol) of the replacement reaction is determined by the Avrami and the iso-conversion methods. Both approaches yield an Ea of ~40 kJ/mol. Anhydrite dissolution appears as the rate-limiting process and the overall kinetics of the replacement reaction is controlled by the rate diffusion of dissolved species through the porosity network. The ripening of the metastable β-tricalcium phosphate into hydroxyapatite affects the characteristics of the porosity network and further modulates the kinetics of the replacement. These results may improve the understanding of the mechanisms of P-sequestration by mineral surfaces through coupled dissolution–precipitation reactions and shed light on the origin of apatite accumulations associated to evaporitic sedimentary rocks.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Identifying the key parameters or components mainly contributing to the acute toxicity of wastewater would be helpful to quickly and conveniently reflect their biological toxicity. In this study, the components/parameters and biological toxicity of 64 effluent samples collected from two factories producing konjac and glass were analyzed. It was found that the two types of wastewaters were not effectively dealt with. Moreover, the acute biological toxicity evaluated by the bioluminescence inhibition to Vibrio fischeri revealed that ∼90% of the effluents were marked as toxic with bioluminescence inhibition higher than 50%. By applying a grey relational analysis (GRA) method to investigate the influential priorities of the effluent characteristics on biological toxicity, the results demonstrated that the top four influential factors on the bioluminescence inhibition were as follows: TN ≈ SO42− &gt; Cl− &gt; As ≈ Hg (for konjac-manufacturing effluents) and Zn &gt; SO42− ≈ TN &gt; As &gt; Cl− (for glass-producing effluents). These results would be useful for fast recognizing the biological toxicity features of industrial effluents via evaluating the most influential parameters, and helpful for reducing the biological acute toxicity to protect the downstream wastewater treatment plant from abrupt collapse.

Authors: Campesato Maria Alice Gouvêa 
Published: October 2022

Este artigo explora qual o lugar da contação de histórias no tempo-atenção da aula em época de hiperaceleração e excessos e de que maneiras a palavra pode ser tomada como força-potência (trans)formadora de mundos e de modos de existência. Para tal, estabelece aproximação entre práticas ocidentais muito antigas e as tradições africana e ameríndia, desde a perspectiva da oralidade. O texto parte de uma pesquisa arquegenealógica que investigou a aula da Antiguidade aos dias atuais e de outra pesquisa que investiga a relação da palavra, da voz e da escuta nas tradições africanas e indígenas. Como material empírico, toma textos da tradição greco-romana e os textos A queda do Céu, de Kopenawa e Albert, e A tradição viva, de Hampâté Bâ. Como ferramental teórico-metodológico, utiliza-se da análise do discurso foucaultiana. Conclui que a contação de histórias no espaço áulico é uma possibilidade para provocar outras formas de existência e fabricação de novas verdades.

Background
Cognitive dysfunction is an impairing core symptom of depression. Among adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) treated with antidepressants, residual cognitive symptoms interfere with patient-reported outcomes. The foregoing characterization of cognitive symptoms provides the rationale for screening and assessing the severity of cognitive symptoms at point of care. However, clinical neurocognitive assessments are time-consuming and difficult, and they require specialist expertise to interpret them. A smartphone-delivered neurocognitive test may offer an effective and accessible tool that can be readily implemented into a measurement-based care framework.

Objective
We aimed to evaluate the use of a smartphone-delivered app-based version of the established Cognition Kit Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) neurocognitive assessment compared to a traditional paper-and-pencil version.

Methods
Convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the 2 versions were evaluated. Patient satisfaction with the app was also assessed.

Results
Assessments made using the app-based Cognition Kit DSST were highly correlated with the standard paper-and-pencil version of the test, both at the baseline visit (r=0.69, df=27; P<.001) and at the end-of-study visit (r=0.82, df=27; P<.001), and they were positively evaluated by 30 patients as being user-friendly, easy to navigate, and preferable over the paper-and-pencil version of the DSST. However, although the app-based Cognition Kit DSST was validated in patients with MDD, it still needs to be evaluated in healthy controls.

Conclusions
App-based DSST may facilitate a more personalized, convenient, and cost-effective method of cognitive assessment, helping to guide measurement-based care and psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatment options for patients with MDD.

A Novel Digital Digit-Symbol Substitution Test Measuring Processing Speed in Adults At Risk for Alzheimer Disease: Validation Study
Authors: Campitelli Anthony , Paulson Sally , Gills Josh L , Jones Megan D , Madero Erica N , Myers Jennifer , Glenn Jordan M , Gray Michelle 
Published: October 2022

Background
Assessing cognitive constructs affected by Alzheimer disease, such as processing speed (PS), is important to screen for potential disease and allow for early detection. Digital PS assessments have been developed to provide widespread, efficient cognitive testing, but all have been validated only based on the correlation between test scores. Best statistical practices dictate that concurrent validity should be assessed for agreement or equivalence rather than using correlation alone.

Objective
This study aimed to assess the concurrent validity of a novel digital PS assessment against a gold-standard measure of PS.

Methods
Adults aged 45-75 years (n=191) participated in this study. Participants completed the novel digital digit-symbol substitution test (DDSST) and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status coding test (RBANS-C). The correlation between the test scores was determined using a Pearson product-moment correlation, and a difference in mean test scores between tests was checked for using a 2-tailed dependent samples t test. Data were analyzed for agreement between the 2 tests using Bland-Altman limits of agreement and equivalency using a two one-sided t tests (TOST) approach.

Results
A significant moderate, positive correlation was found between DDSST and RBANS-C scores (r=.577; P<.001), and no difference in mean scores was detected between the tests (P=.93). Bias was nearly zero (0.04). Scores between the tests were found to display adequate agreement with 90% of score differences falling between –22.66 and 22.75 (90% limits of agreement=–22.91 to 22.99), and the scores were equivalent (P=.049).

Conclusions
Analyses indicate that the DDSST is a valid digital assessment of PS. The DDSST appears to be a suitable option for widespread, immediate, and efficient PS testing.
