Abstract
Oxidative degradation of o-, m- and p-cresols using ozone in the presence of V2O5-supported metal (Mn, Fe, Ni) catalysts was studied under ambient reaction conditions. Metal (Mn, Fe, Ni) loaded V2O5 catalysts were prepared using a wet-impregnation method, thereafter, characterized, and analyzed by use of the XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TEM, and ICP-OES. Results show the effect of the amount of a metal that was loaded on the support, particularly, how it affects the resultant catalysts’ (i) crystallite size, (ii) dispersion of an active metal over the surface of a support, and (iii) catalytic activity. Mn-loaded catalysts were found to be relatively more active for the conversion of individual cresol isomers and the activity of this catalyst was significantly enhanced at a lower Mn to V2O5 ratio (2.5 wt%). Mn(2.5 %)/V2O5 catalyst led to conversions of 66.78, 71.01 and 73.68 % with o-, m-, and p-cresols respectively within 24 h of oxidation. Oxidation products were derivatized by ethanol and a few were positively detected using GC-MS. o-Tolyl acetate and 2,5-dihydroxy toluene were detected from o-cresol, m-tolyl acetate, and 2,3-dihydroxy toluene from m-cresol and p-tolyl acetate and 3,4-dihydroxy toluene from p-cresol oxidation. Dimethyl maleate and dimethyl oxalate were detected as common products in all three isomers’ oxidation.
Application of artificial neural networks for predicting the isotopic composition of high burn-up solid plutonium sample using the 90–105 keV gamma-spectrum region
Authors: Sarkar Arnab 
Published: April 2022

AbstractAn artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm was developed to predict isotopic composition of five Pu isotopes (238Pu,239Pu,240Pu,241Pu, and242Pu) of high burn-up Pu samples. The study was carried out using the most complex but informative gamma energy region of Pu gamma spectra, 90–106 keV. This region has remained futile, due to the overlapping nature of the gamma emission lines and X-rays emitted by U, Pu, and Np. A backpropagation neural network algorithm based ANN with error minimization using the steepest gradient method was built with the help of normalized gamma spectra for ∼800 samples. The paper discusses the optimization of hidden neuron number and the layer design for best prediction. With the exception of242Pu, the prediction accuracy and precision of the proposed technique was found to be ∼3% for all other isotopes of Pu.
Perforated steel for realizing extraordinary ductility under compression: Testing and finite element modeling

Published: April 2022

Abstract
One key obstacle restricting the application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars from being used as reinforcement in structural concrete is the significantly reduced ductility because FRP under tension is linear elastic up to brittle rupture at small strain. Recently, a new structural concept, compression yielding (CY), has been proposed as a way to overcome the insufficient ductility of concrete structures reinforced with FRP bars or other non-ductile materials. In the CY structural system, the compression-zone of normal concrete is replaced by a ductile material within the plastic hinge. This enables the flexural deformation to be achieved by the compressive deformation of CY material rather than a tensile deformation of longitudinal reinforcing bars. To this end, an ideal CY material requires strength to be maintained during the extraordinarily large deformation process. This study tries to identify methods for developing this kind of CY material by designing and optimizing perforations inside a mild steel block. The effects of key parameters, including ratio, diameter, and arrangement of perforations on the stiffness, strength, and ductility of CY materials were experimentally investigated. In addition, a finite element (FE) model was developed to predict the behavior of the proposed CY material.

Published: April 2022

AbstractSafety evaluation of key support components remains a challenge for freight trains because of the difficulties in direct and precise monitoring. In this work, the longitudinal stop on well-hole freight train, which prevents the cargo from sliding in anterior-posterior direction, is investigated. Load identification approach is proposed via strain perception at multiple locations, which are selected from the optimal positions sensitive to longitudinal and lateral loading in Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Validation is performed in random loading simulations. The identified loads deviate from the random sets within 4.07%. Longitudinal and lateral forces are recognized in an attempt to calculate the signed von Mises (SVM) stress of the longitudinal stop structure for fatigue evaluation. In application, the reconstructed structural stress climbs up to 107.1 MPa for the right weld base. Employing the rain-flow counting and Miner’s damage rule, the recommendation for load spectra grade in convergence is 64 groups. The equivalent fatigue damage is 0.854 and it drops to 30% in the statistical annual maximum mileage equivalency. Research outcome reveals that the proposed method enables the real-time monitoring of service loads and structural stress in railway freight transport, which provides scientific evidence for its maintenance planning and structural optimization.
Irrealis, aspect, and unanchoring in Slavonic and beyond
Authors: Holvoet Axel 
Published: April 2022

SummaryIn this article a parallel is drawn between certain functions of irrealis and imperfective in evaluating contexts in Russian and Polish. The functions of irrealis in complementation are twofold: while in propositional complements it reflects irreality, in state-of-affairs complements it reflects temporal and situational unanchoring. This unanchoring function manifests itself also in complements of evaluative (commentative) predicates, where it extracts an event from its situational setting for the purpose of evaluating its intrinsic properties – intrinsic likelihood or desirability. It is argued that the representation of event tokens as event types by means of imperfective verbs in Slavonic performs a similar unanchoring function in evaluative contexts. The data of Slavonic languages, where both unanchoring devices cooccur, enable a coherent explanation of certain hitherto not fully understood phenomena in the domains of mood and aspect and shed a new light on the long-standing problem of the Romance so-called “factive” subjunctive.
NT-proBNP Levels Following IVIG Treatment of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
Authors: Schmitz Anna , Wood Kelly E. , Badheka Aditya , Burghardt Elliot , Wendt Linder , Sharathkumar Anjali , Koestner Bryan 
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
N-terminal of probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are often elevated in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) secondary to inflammation, myocardial dysfunction, or increased wall tension. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), accepted treatment of MIS-C, may transiently increase myocardial tension and contribute to an increase in NT-proBNP. We sought to study the association between pre- and post-IVIG levels of NT-proBNP and CRP and their clinical significance.

METHODS
This single-center, retrospective, cohort study included consecutive children, aged ≤21 years, with diagnosis of MIS-C who received IVIG from April 2020 to October 2021. Data collection included clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, management, and outcomes. Study cohort consisted of patients who received IVIG and had NT-proBNP levels available pre- and post-IVIG.

RESULTS
Among 35 patients with MIS-C, 30 met inclusion criteria. Twenty-four, 80%, showed elevation in NT-proBNP post-IVIG. The median NT-proBNP level pre-IVIG was 1921 pg/mL (interquartile range 548–3956), significantly lower than the post-IVIG median of 3756 pg/mL (interquartile range 1342–7634)) (P = .0010). The median pre-IVIG CRP level was significantly higher than the post-IVIG level (12 mg/dL vs 8 mg/dL, P = .0006). All but 1 recovered before discharge, and none had signs of worsening cardiac function post-IVIG. In those who recovered, NT-proBNP had normalized by discharge or 1-week follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS
Our study shows that NT-proBNP levels often transiently increase immediately after IVIG therapy without signs of worsening myocardial function. These values should be interpreted in the context of CRP levels and clinical recovery.

Aujeszky’s disease, also known as pseudorabies is an acute infectious viral disease in a variety of mammals caused by Suid herpesvirus 1, a member of the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae and the family Herpesviridae. This virus causes significant economic losses in agriculture of numerous countries. In particular, in pig farming, the main losses are currently associated with restrictions of international trade, as well as the cost of vaccination or slaughter of infected animals. The main reservoirs species of this disease are considered to be wild boars and domestic pigs. So, in this article the authors performed a comparative retrospective analysis of the prevalence of Aujeszky’s disease among these species in Ukraine over 2009–2020 by systematizing and analyzing the epizootic data and results of serological studies. As a result of the conducted research, there is a clear trend that shows the reduction in the number of locations in Ukraine (farms, households, etc.) with domestic pigs affected by Aujeszky’s disease. Thus, in 2009 four such farms were found, and in 2018 – only one. During 2014–2016 and 2019–2020, affected farms and locations were not registered for this disease. In total, 21 such points with infected pigs were registered during the analyzed period. As for wild boars, during the analyzed 12 years, locations with animals affected by Aujeszky’s disease were registered only in 2013 and 2014 (two and one, respectively). It should be noted that all of those with infected wild boars were found in the AR Crimea. For the twelve years, the number of tested sera samples from domestic pigs amounted to 378,678 (7.4% were positive) and from wild boars – 9,052 (19.8% were positive). As a result of comparative geographical analysis of the obtained data on the detection of specific humoral antibodies to the Aujeszky’s disease virus among both species for 12 years in the regions of Ukraine, there is no established clear correlation between the spread of the disease among wild boars and domestic pigs. Thus, the highest seroprevalence rates among wild boars were observed in the northern and northeastern parts of Ukraine, and in domestic pigs, on the contrary, in the southern and central parts of this country. It should be noted, that since 2014 the number of serological tests among both species for carriers of Aujeszky’s disease has significantly decreased.

Spherical indentation test for quasi-non-destructive characterisation of asphalt concrete
Authors: Fadil Hassan , Jelagin Denis , Partl Manfred N. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe indentation test is a promising technique for the viscoelastic characterisation of asphalt concrete (AC). Indentation measurements are primarily influenced by the material properties in the direct vicinity of the indenter-specimen contact point. Accordingly, it may become a useful alternative for the characterisation of thin asphalt layers as well as for a quasi-non-destructive AC characterisation in the field. In this study, the spherical indentation test is used to measure the linear viscoelastic properties of AC mixtures extracted from a road test section. The measured complex moduli are compared to those obtained by the shear box test and are found to exhibit a linear correlation. The measurements are further analysed using the Gaussian mixture model to assign each indentation test to either aggregate-dominated or mastic-dominated response. The measurements attributed to mastic-dominated response are found to be more sensitive to the temperature and AC’s binder properties as compared to the average measurements. Accordingly, the proposed test method may provide a promising tool to measure AC viscoelastic properties and monitor the changes in AC binder phase in a non-destructive manner. A finite element micromechanical model is used to identify a representative scale for the response measured in mastic-dominated tests as well as to quantify the effect of measured properties on the AC damage propensity.
Effectiveness of CAPM Model for Funds Based on Margin Trading in Chinese Market under the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Zhang Mingke 
Published: April 2022

The applicability of CAPM model in China was studied under the situation that the global economy was greatly affected. The results show that the stock exchange market in China is less affected by the epidemic. Still in China's securities market, the linear impact of systematic risk on the return on assets is not significant, while the non-systematic risk has a relatively significant linear impact on the return on assets. The CAPM model is not fully applicable in China's securities market. Except that the financial market in China is not sound enough, the reason for the inapplicability of the model would be the drawbacks of the model itself as the model is too sophisticated in its assumptions and there are many factors not considered, and the research direction of improving the model are summarised as pay attention to 6 types of asset pricing anomalies represented by value anomalies, and provide explanations for the causes of these pricing anomalies.
