Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted identification and monitoring of vector populations as an important component of global vector-borne disease surveillance efforts. EO and RVF map data could play a crucial role in identifying risk locations for mosquito-borne diseases globally on the basis of habitat and climate variables. EO and RVF map data are also useful for measuring or mapping a range of environmental parameters that help determine mosquito vector occurrence and abundance and the rate of development of mosquito-borne parasites and pathogens in mosquito vectors. The EO and RVF map data have been sufficiently high spatial and temporal resolution, applied research could develop weather-based and environment-based forecasting of high-risk locations and time periods for mosquito-borne diseases using statistical models. The maps generated by this project indicate and outline the RVF risk areas associated with surface water ponding, mosquito breeding, and cattle grazing for a test area in Senegal. This strategy could include the following recommendations to effectively mitigate the exposure of cattle to RVF, and thus to minimise infection risk for humans: establish a joint communication strategy by integrating information of the forecasted risk bulletins into the National Information System of Surveillance of Epidemics used by the Ministry of Livestock in Senegal and the Headquarters of the Directorate of Veterinary Services of Senegal and its local representatives in rural districts, relocate livestock grazing areas away from risk zones, with warning signs in local languages posted near the ponds to inform breeders to keep their animals at least 500 m away from the ponds, and issue regular bulletins so the Directorate of Veterinary Services of Senegal can organise and optimise vaccination campaigns in the riskiest zones.

Abstract

This book chapter discusses all the information collected has been grouped together into eight categories: (i) aligning with and supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals; (ii) focusing on public health needs and key theme areas for further research; (iii) accessing and developing Earth Observation (EO) and geospatial evidence-based data and products leveraging public health capacities; (iv) developing a sustainable community of practice; (v) developing knowledge and know-how; (vi) developing solutions: methods, tools, and systems; (vii) implementing technical infrastructures and technologies; and (viii) participating in EO satellite mission development for monitoring disease risks. One such advancement attributable to Landsat data is the ability to monitor changing patterns in forest cover loss and human encroachment on previously wild areas that allows for better prediction of zoonotic disease emergence. For example, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors onboard the US Aqua and Terra satellites offer atmosphere, land, cryosphere, and ocean products that are used in several user communities. MODIS indicator data sets have been so successful that they do not require additional remote sensing analysis; they can be used directly in predictive models. Some EO satellite systems offer ARD (i.e. pre-processed images) and related information products derived from the raw data stream generated by the satellite instruments and the use of algorithms.

Design
Participants were randomly selected to each group (intervention group and no-intervention group). A therapeutic intervention session on the cocktail party effect was carried out for 8 weeks which lasted 30 min three times per week in the school environment.

Study sample
The study consisted of 40 pupils (8–12 years) with a single profile of APD.

Results:
The treatment was effective in enhancing the cocktail party effect of pupils with APD and there was no significant main effect of gender in the cocktail party effect of the participants.

Conclusion
The pupils with APD in the intervention group benefitted from the treatment process, therefore treatment should be adopted by teachers of pupils with APD.
A pedagogical approach to relativity effects in quantum mechanics
Authors: Grave de Peralta Luis , Webb Katrina C , Farooq Hira 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
A simple but precise approach to relativistic quantum mechanics is presented. The approach is based on the use of a Schrödinger-like, little-known but well-studied quantum mechanics wave equation. Such formal similitude allows undergraduate students to quantitatively explore how the results corresponding to a typical non-relativistic quantum problem change when the particle is moving at relativistic speeds. No additional mathematical skills are required. We argue in favor of the academic use of this approach for including the implications of the special theory of relativity in introductory quantum mechanics courses.
From speed of sound to vapour pressure: an undergraduate school experiment as an example of systematic error research

Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article presents an undergraduate project for measuring the speed of sound in the air as a function of air temperature. The measurement is implemented in two versions. The simplicity of the basic experiment in dry air is used for a detailed analysis of systematic errors: the measured values are corrected with an additive constant and optimized to match the expected parabolic dependence of the speed of sound on temperature. Such a time correction is correlated with the physical content, that is, by changing the phase of oscillation of the pressure difference at the reflection of the sound at the open end of the tube. The second part of the experiment involves measuring the speed of sound in saturated humid air as a function of air temperature and allows for a substantive connection of two areas of physics (waves and thermodynamics). The measured water vapour pressure, within the range of statistical errors, follows the theoretical course up to the upper limit of the measured temperature range (60 °C) surprisingly well.

A new monocular vision simultaneous localization and mapping process for high-precision positioning in structured indoor environments
Authors: Qiu Wenqi , Zeng Qinghua , Liu Jianye , Luo Yixue , Huang Yan 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
High-precision positioning in areas with unobtrusive features is difficult to achieve with visual based indoor positioning solutions. Most current solutions offer low precision and are expensive and/or require a priori training. A ceiling distributed on the same plane is regularly arranged and widespread in structured indoor environments. We propose a new monocular vision simultaneous localization and mapping (NMV SLAM) method for high-precision indoor positioning. First, image morphology technology is adopted to extract the ceiling corner accurately. Second, the geometric solution based on the a priori ceiling map realizes global positioning and makes up for the deficiency of time-consuming nonlinear optimization. Experiments show that the root mean square error of position measured by the proposed NMV SLAM process is less than 5.43 mm in a room with an entire ceiling. Moreover, the proposed NMV SLAM processes an average of 30.61 frames in 1 s on an i5-9400F central processing unit.

Authors: Charlton Peter H , Pilt Kristjan , Kyriacou Panicos A 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Photoplethysmography is now widely utilised by clinical devices such as pulse oximeters, and wearable devices such as smartwatches. It holds great promise for health monitoring in daily life. This editorial considers whether it would be possible and beneficial to establish best practices for photoplethysmography signal acquisition and processing. It reports progress made towards this, balanced with the challenges of working with a diverse range of photoplethysmography device designs and intended applications, each of which could benefit from different approaches to signal acquisition and processing. It concludes that there are several potential benefits to establishing best practices. However, it is not yet clear whether it is possible to establish best practices which hold across the range of photoplethysmography device designs and applications.

Abstract

Objective. Analyze the performance of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in an innovative porcine model of subclinical hemorrhage and investigate associations between EIT and hemodynamic trends. Approach. Twenty-five swine were bled at slow rates to create an extended period of subclinical hemorrhage during which the animal’s heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) remained stable from before hemodynamic deterioration, where stable was defined as <15% decrease in BP and <20% increase in HR—i.e. hemorrhages were hidden from standard vital signs of HR and BP. Continuous vital signs, photo-plethysmography, and continuous non-invasive EIT data were recorded and analyzed with the objective of developing an improved means of detecting subclinical hemorrhage—ideally as early as possible. Main results. Best area-under-the-curve (AUC) values from comparing bleed to no-bleed epochs were 0.96 at a 80 ml bleed (∼15.4 min) using an EIT-data-based metric and 0.79 at a 120 ml bleed (∼23.1 min) from invasively measured BP—i.e. the EIT-data-based metric achieved higher AUCs at earlier points compared to standard clinical metrics without requiring image reconstructions. Significance. In this clinically relevant porcine model of subclinical hemorrhage, EIT appears to be superior to standard clinical metrics in early detection of hemorrhage.
A novel 3.3 kV 4H-SiC trench PiN with enhanced conductance modulation effect

Published: May 2022

Abstract
A novel 3.3 kV rated 4H-SiC trench PiN (T-PiN) structure, which features a trench P+ layer, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. For the T-PiNs, dry etch onto the N-drift layer is added to the manufacturing process of conventional PiNs (Con-PiNs) before the Al ion implantation step. As the experimental results show, the forward current of the T-PiN diode with an active area of 5 mm × 5 mm has been improved by 32.3% at a voltage of 4 V. Apart from a slight sacrifice in breakdown voltage, the T-PiN is identical to the Con-PiN with regard to other static and surge current capabilities and dynamic characteristics. This superior forward conduction ability of the T-PiNs is a result of enhanced anode carrier injection caused by an enhanced conductance modulation effect and a larger anode carrier injection area. An enhanced conductance modulation effect model was also set up to quantify the increase in the proportion of current density in the T-PiN.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Iron-based superconductors are a popular candidate in the search for affordable and simple superconductors for high-field applications. In particular, the relaxed texture requirements fuel hope that films deposited on RABiTS with simple buffer layer architectures could enable cheap coated conductors. We find that a single Yttrium oxide buffer layer can act as a suitable diffusion barrier and epitaxial Fe(Se,Te) thin films were successfully grown by pulsed laser deposition. An analysis of the local current distribution by means of scanning Hall probe microscopy reveals current densities exceeding 1 MA cm−2, however, granularity still seems to be an issue. Transmission electron microscopy images and analysis by transmission Kikuchi diffraction show that the out-of-plane orientation of underlying Ni-W grains in the substrate has a severe impact on the growth of Fe(Se,Te) films.
Loss of sustainability in scientific work

Published: May 2022

Abstract
For decades the number of scientific publications has been rapidly increasing, effectively out-dating knowledge at a tremendous rate. Only few scientific milestones remain relevant and continuously attract citations. Here we quantify how long scientific work remains being utilized, how long it takes before today’s work is forgotten, and how milestone papers differ from those forgotten. To answer these questions, we study the complete temporal citation network of all American Physical Society journals. We quantify the probability of attracting citations for individual publications based on age and the number of citations they have received in the past. We capture both aspects, the forgetting and the tendency to cite already popular works, in a microscopic generative model for the dynamics of scientific citation networks. We find that the probability of citing a specific paper declines with age as a power law with an exponent of α ∼ −1.4. Whenever a paper in its early years can be characterized by a scaling exponent above a critical value, α
c, the paper is likely to become ‘ever-lasting’. We validate the model with out-of-sample predictions, with an accuracy of up to 90% (area under the curve ∼ 0.9). The model also allows us to estimate an expected citation landscape of the future, predicting that 95% of papers cited in 2050 have yet to be published. The exponential growth of articles, combined with a power-law type of forgetting and papers receiving fewer and fewer citations on average, suggests a worrying tendency toward information overload and raises concerns about scientific publishing’s long-term sustainability.
Performance investigation on the balance of static and dynamic magnetic field strength of magnetostrictive patch transducer with different permanent magnets
Authors: Hou E.Z.Y. , Li G.G.D. , Huang G. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Nowadays, a magnetostrictive patch transducer(MPT) utilizing
the high magnetostriction patch such as iron-cobalt alloy attached
to the tested specimen like pipes, tubes, and cables has attracted
more attention from many scholars. A harmonized flexible printed
coil magnetostrictive patch transducer (HFPC-MPT) was proposed in
2019 by the author's research group, and this high-performance MPT
could generate a more even magnetostrictive force than
before. However, that research was an MPT optimization from sensor
circuit design perspective. From the perspective of the magnetic
field, this type of sensor has not been explored yet to improve its
performance. In this research, firstly, the author conducted
numerical simulations to find the optimal balance range between the
static and dynamic magnetic fields of HFPC-MPT. Secondly, some
experiments have been designed to verify the simulation results. The
simulation results have been validated and are in agreement with the
experimental results. This research provided a deep insight into
improving the performance of HFPC-MPT from the perspective of the
static magnetic field, which is also beneficial to both industrial
and academic areas.
CO2 fertilization is spatially distinct from stomatal conductance reduction in controlling ecosystem water-use efficiency increase

Published: May 2022

Abstract
It is well known that global ecosystem water-use efficiency (EWUE) has noticeably increased over the last several decades. However, it remains unclear how individual environmental drivers contribute to EWUE changes, particularly from CO2 fertilization and stomatal suppression effects. Using a satellite-driven water–carbon coupling model—Penman–Monteith–Leuning version 2 (PML-V2), we quantified individual contributions from the observational drivers (atmospheric CO2, climate forcing, leaf area index (LAI), albedo and emissivity) across the globe over 1982–2014. The PML-V2 was well-calibrated and showed a good performance for simulating EWUE (with a determination coefficient (R
2) of 0.56) compared to observational annual EWUE over 1982–2014 derived from global 95 eddy flux sites from the FLUXNET2015 dataset. Our results showed that global EWUE increasing trend (0.04 ± 0.004 gC mm−1 H2O decade−1) was largely contributed by increasing CO2 (51%) and LAI (20%), but counteracted by climate forcing (−26%). Globally, the CO2 fertilization effect on photosynthesis (23%) was similar to the CO2 suppression effect on stomatal conductance (28%). Spatially, the fertilization effect dominated EWUE trend over semi-arid regions while the stomatal suppression effect controlled over tropical forests. These findings improve understanding of how environmental factors affect the long-term change of EWUE, and can help policymakers for water use planning and ecosystem management.
Impact of Covid-19 on Chiang Mai City Center Airport: a guideline for its urban regeneration
Authors: Belhache R 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCovid-19 has brought Chiang Mai International Airport to a state of lethargy: the once tourism-oriented city in northern Thailand has seen its visitors arriving by air greatly reduced since the start of the pandemic. An analysis of airport spaces and usage shows that their core purposes are disrupted or at standstill. Using a qualitative approach, the purpose of this study is to propose a guideline to re-assess spaces of city-centered airports in times of crisis to help its urban regeneration. Urban recommendations are displayed for policymakers and then applied to Chiang Mai International airport context. Results found that temporary urban and architectural solutions are worth considering during the time of crisis and its unknown end date. Permanent solutions are also suggested to connect dynamic poles of the city with the airport area, leading to improve the reliance between Chiang Mai city and its airport. This prospective approach also sheds a light on the monofunctional purpose of the airport and relative seclusion issues due to single-use zoning in the fabrication of the city.
The effectiveness of urban mobility restriction policies on the spatio-temporal pattern of COVID-19 incidence in Balikpapan City
Authors: Ghozali A , Tufail D N , Girsang P R 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In 2020, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic provided a valuable experience for city policymakers. As one of the epicenters of Covid-19 in East Kalimantan, Balikpapan City has also made various efforts to suppress the transmission of Covid-19, mainly focused on minimizing the urban mobility rate. This study was conducted to track the effectiveness of policies applied to the number of Covid-19 active cases in Balikpapan City. This study performs the Spatio-temporal Getis-Ord Gi* statistic to determine the characteristics of changes in the concentration of the Covid-19 active cases and calculate the correlation of the time data. The results showed that during the first year of pandemic and application of the travel restriction policy, hotspots were always formed in the potential economic sub-districts, which became the business center of Balikpapan City. In addition, the implementation of significant travel restriction policies has a strong correlation with the tendency to decrease the active case number of COVID-19 in each policy issue date.

Abstract
Urban facilities, such as pedestrian paths, were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Activity restrictions imposed by the government through official regulations for various regions were one of the causes of the reduction of movement. During the pandemic, the intensity of pedestrian use seemed to be lower than before. However, a particular location showed an interesting phenomenon of intervention on the pedestrian path around public facilities, which did not change the intensity of use. Interestingly, the intervention on the pedestrian path was around the buildings that directly handled Covid-19 and had a high transmission risk, namely hospitals and markets. This paper employed a qualitative approach by collecting the data through field observation in 3 (three) designated hospitals in Surabaya city, which were considered vulnerable places and aim to understand complex phenomena. The result found that the intervention of the pedestrian path was mainly located on the critical side for movement and circulation as well as the mobilization of the service area, also indicated there are use pedestrian path to paddle, wait and relax at certain time. As an important part of urban facilities, the pedestrian path needs to be a concern, especially in locations with a high risk of virus transmission potential.
