AbstractWe performed a systematic review on literature associated with meta‐analyses to elucidate whether (I) low‐level laser therapy (C) compared to placebo accelerates (O) bone neoformation in the region of the midpalatal suture in (P) patients undergoing transverse maxillary expansion. Two reviewers blindly performed targeted searches using the selection criteria (PICOS) in seven major databases and three grey literature databases, employing specific terms and their entrenchments. The RevMan® software (Review Manager, version 5.3, Cochrane Collaboration) was used to adapt the RoB summary illustration to the Cochrane 2.0 tool questions. Meta‐analysis was performed using standardized mean difference (SMD) and Cohen's d calculation on random effects, tests for heterogeneity (I2) and publication bias (Egger and Begg), and one‐of‐out sensitivity analysis. GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) was used for evidence quality analysis. Among the five studies included in the qualitative synthesis, three were included in the meta‐analysis. All analysed studies were prospective randomized clinical trials. The risk of bias was such that the Egger (P = .1991) and Begg (P = .024) tests showed no significant risk of publication bias. The meta‐analysis showed high heterogeneity (I2 = 81%, P < .00001), and 3 months after the operation, there was no significant difference between the photobiomodulation (PBMT) group and control group (P = .850) or between the subgroups of the periods evaluated after 3 months (P = 0.490). GRADE showed an SMD of 0.62. Photobiomodulation as an adjuvant therapy in patients undergoing transverse maxillary expansion has few benefits and is limited in shape, as it contributes to bone healing in the midpalatal suture region after a period of 3 months.
Are Newsjunkies More Likely to Vote? Intrinsic Need for Orientation and Voter Registration, Intention to Vote, and Voter Conscientiousness
Authors: Martin Justin D. , Sharma Krishna 
Published: May 2022

This study examined the newsjunkie characteristic—intrinsic need for orientation (INFO)—as a predictor of being registered to vote, intention to vote, and voter conscientiousness among a large sample of U.S. adults (N = 2,059), while controlling for media use, news consumption, political partisanship, and demographics. INFO assesses the extent to which people access news in their downtime, feel discomfort when they cannot get news, check news among the first things they do daily, and believe that following news connects them with others. The current study is the first to examine relationships between the sustained, psychological INFO trait and political participation. INFO rests upon theoretical frameworks of uses and gratifications and self‐determination theory, both of which are employed in this study. INFO was positively correlated with being registered to vote, with intending to vote in the 2020 U.S. election, and with voter conscientiousness, even after controlling for numerous other variables. Additionally, INFO was still positively associated with the political participation variables after political news consumption was included as a mediator in three mediation analyses.

AbstractInvasive nonnative plant pests can cause extensive environmental and economic damage and are very difficult to eradicate once established. Phytosanitary inspections that aim to prevent biological invasions by limiting movement of nonnative plant pests across borders are a critical component of the biosecurity continuum. Inspections can also provide valuable information about when and where plant pests are crossing national boundaries. However, only a limited portion of the massive volume of goods imported daily can be inspected, necessitating a highly targeted, risk‐based strategy. Furthermore, since inspections must prioritize detection and efficiency, their outcomes generally cannot be used to make inferences about risk for cargo pathways as a whole. Phytosanitary agencies need better tools for quantifying pests going undetected and designing risk‐based inspection strategies appropriate for changing operational conditions. In this research, we present PoPS (Pest or Pathogen Spread) Border, an open‐source consignment inspection simulator for measuring inspection outcomes under various cargo contamination scenarios to support recommendations for inspection protocols and estimate pest slippage rates. We used the tool to estimate contamination rates of historical interception data, quantify tradeoffs in effectiveness and workload for inspection strategies, and identify vulnerabilities in sampling protocols as changes in cargo configurations and contamination occur. These use cases demonstrate how this simulation approach permits testing inspection strategies and measuring quantities that would otherwise be impossible in a field‐based setting. This work represents the first steps toward a decision support tool for creating dynamic inspection protocols that respond to changes in available resources, workload, and commerce trends.
The massacre generation: Young people and attitudes about mass shooting prevention
Authors: Vegter Abigail , Middlewood Alexandra T. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractObjectiveWe propose that citizens navigate an increasingly complex social and political world using a “cultural toolkit” shaped by firearms and gun violence. Young people in particular have experienced more mass shootings than any previous generation and have witnessed a lack of government response to these massacres. This article explores the attitudes that members of the Massacre Generation express about mass shooting prevention.MethodsWe analyze data from several public opinion surveys conducted following major mass shootings in the United States using logistic regression. These surveys were fielded and sponsored by a variety of organizations and asked a nearly identical question about whether mass shootings can be prevented by societal and governmental action.ResultsWe find that the Massacre Generation is indeed more likely to think the government can prevent mass shootings by implementing stricter gun control laws. We find evidence of these attitudes in multiple public opinion surveys from 2012 to 2018. Furthermore, we find no age effect in multiple surveys conducted between 1999 and 2011, suggesting that these attitudes are a relatively new phenomenon.ConclusionYoung people today express that government regulation (i.e., stricter gun laws) can prevent gun violence, placing them at odds with older generations. We discuss the implications of our findings for gun policy development and the future of the gun debate.
Spatio‐temporal neural network for taxi demand prediction using multisource urban data

Published: May 2022

AbstractPredicting traffic demand is a crucial problem to saving energy and resource pre‐allocation as well as traffic construction planning. The problem is also challenging owing to its non‐linear changing process and complex spatio‐temporal dependencies. Most existing studies train prediction models on traffic data itself and ignore the impact of exogenous factors, thus leading to unsatisfactory performance. To address this issue, we propose a deep neural network, which utilizes multisource urban data to capture specific geospatial and temporal dependencies, for city‐scale taxi demand forecasting. In terms of time dependency, a temporal guidance block is developed to enhance the correlation between time intervals by incorporating time metadata. To capture the geospatial dependencies, we build three parallel geospatial guidance branches that integrate multiple urban data, including population data, POIs, and road networks, to guide the modeling. Each branch contains a geocontext‐aware convolutional layer for extracting geospatial features and a self‐attention mechanism for capturing long‐range spatial dependencies. Extensive experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the superiority of our model over the existing methods, and the prediction error is 16% lower than the state‐of‐the‐art model. We also explore the sensitivity to its parameters and discuss the contributions and limitations of the proposed method.

AbstractBartonella spp. and haemoplasmas are pathogens of veterinary and medical interest with ectoparasites mainly involved in their transmission. This study aimed at molecular detection of Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas in cats (n = 93) and dogs (n = 96), and their related fleas (n = 189) from countries in East and Southeast Asia. Ctenocephalides felis was the dominant flea species infesting both cats (97.85%) and dogs (75%) followed by Ctenocephalides orientis in dogs (18.75%) and rarely in cats (5.2%). Bartonella spp. DNA was only detected in blood samples of flea‐infested cats (21.51%) (p < .0001, OR = 27.70) with Bartonella henselae more frequently detected than Bartonella clarridgeiae in cat hosts (15.05%, 6.45%) and their associated fleas (17.24%, 13.79%). Out of three Bartonella‐positive fleas from dogs, two Ct. orientis fleas carried Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and Bartonella clarridgeiae, while the 3rd flea (Ct. felis) carried Candidatus Bartonella merieuxii. Felines represented a risk factor for Bartonella spp. infections, where fleas collected from cats (32.25%) presented an increased likelihood for Bartonella spp. occurrence (p < .0001, OR = 14.76) than those from dogs (3.13%). Moreover, when analysing infectious status, higher Bartonella spp. DNA loads were detected in fleas from bacteraemic cats compared to those from non‐bacteraemic ones (p < .05). The haemoplasma occurrence was 16.13% (15/93) and 4.17% (4/96) in cat and dog blood samples from different countries (i.e. Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand), with cats more at risk of infection (p < .01, OR = 5.96) than dogs. Unlike Bartonella spp., there was no evidence for flea involvement in the hemoplasmas' transmission cycle, thus supporting the hypothesis of non‐vectorial transmission for these pathogens. In conclusion, client‐owned cats and dogs living in East and Southeast Asia countries are exposed to vector‐borne pathogens with fleas from cats playing a key role in Bartonella spp. transmission, thus posing a high risk of infection for humans sharing the same environment.
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Heat Distribution and Residual Stress Variation on Stacked Thin Sheets of CRNO Electrical Steel Post Tungsten Inert Gas and Cold Metal Transfer Welding
Authors: Dharmik Bhushan Y. , Lautre Nitin Kumar 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The paper presents a numerical and experimental investigation on the stacking of thin, cold rolled nongrain-oriented (CRNO) electrical steel sheets post-tungsten inert gas (TIG) and cold metal transfer (CMT) welding for predicting the effects of TIG and CMT welding current on weld geometry, temperature field, and residual stress distribution in thin, stacked weld sheets. Numerical simulation of a transient nonlinear thermal three-dimensional (3D) element based on actual weld conditions was carried out using ansys software by employing a moving heat source model based on a 3D Gaussian distribution to predict changes in temperature. As a result of the thermal history provided by the model, a mechanical analysis is performed to determine the residual stress distribution and the surface distortion in the element. A significant increase in weld penetration and weld width of the samples was observed with the increase in welding current, as well as a change in the temperature field in the weld zone. Moreover, both the experimental and numerical data are consistent in their estimation of the generation of residual stresses in the weld samples. A numerical model is presented for predicting the thermomechanical behavior of TIG and CMT welded stacked CRNO structures in the stator core of electric motors.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The stainless steel lined clad pipe (SSLCP) can be widely used in different fields. Industrial SSLCP are generally manufactured by the cold hydraulic expansion (CHE) method which requires high hydraulic pressure and good sealing property. The interlayer bonding force is difficult to obtain by the CHE when there is little difference between the yield strengths of inner and outer pipes. Furthermore, the hydraulic expansion process nearly cannot be achieved when the yield strength of inner pipe is higher than that of outer pipe. The thermal hydraulic expansion (THE) method can overcome these difficulties. In this paper, the graph method was adopted to analyze the THE principles for “inner strong and outer weak (ISOW)” and “outer strong and inner weak (OSIW)” pipes. The effective hydraulic expansion criterion conditions of SSLCPs were proposed and can be used as basis of clad pipe material matching and forming process selection. Through the stress and strain analysis of inner and outer pipes during THE process, the deformation coordination conditions of elastic deformation and thermal deformation of the inner and outer pipe were established. The correlation between the residual contact pressure p*c, the hydraulic expansion pressure pi, and the effective temperature difference ΔTe were derived. The calculation formula of the maximum expansion pressure pimax and the minimum expansion pressure pimin was obtained. The maximum heating temperature of outer pipe was also derived. Furthermore, the finite element analysis (FEA) method was adopted and simulated results verify the feasibility and applicability of the theory study.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The carbon-free energy systems such as nuclear can benefit from compact and highly efficient heat exchanger technologies. The plate-type compact heat exchangers such as the printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) holds promise to fulfill these requirements. This work presents the thermal-hydraulic and structural analysis of PCHE for molten salt applications with thermal energy storage. In this study, three distinct types of geometry are chosen for the analysis, i.e., the zigzag channel type, the airfoil fin type, and the slotted fin type. For the working fluid, FLiBe (Li2BeF4) and solar salt (60% NaNO3 and 40% KNO3) are chosen for hot side and cold side, respectively. Titanium grade 5 is chosen as the structural material. The study is conducted by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM) analysis. The thermomechanical behavior including pressure drop, fluid temperature, velocity profile, stress, and deformation of the flow channel were considered in this work. From the results, the zigzag channel geometry gives the best thermal hydraulic performance in terms of heat transfer and pressure drop. The structural analysis shows that the stress intensity has an exponential growth with power generation level with zigzag channel geometry being the highest out of three geometries. Overall, the zigzag channel PCHE is still the most suitable geometry for this application. Zigzag channel geometry should be substituted with an alternative geometry at a high-power application having both airfoil-fin and slotted-fin geometry at relatively identical stress intensity.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a novel surgical robotic platform intended to assist surgeons in cervical spine surgery is presented. The purpose of this surgery is to treat the cervical spine instabilities. The surgical procedure requires drilling into specific region of the vertebrae in order to attach spinal implants and thus ensure a normal spacing between each vertebra concerned. In this context, the proposed robotic platform allows to control and restrict the surgeon's movements to a specific drilling direction set by the surgeon. The current platform is composed of a collaborative robot with seven degrees-of-freedom (DoF) equipped with a drilling tool and directly comanipulated by the surgeon. A motion capture system, as an exteroceptive sensor device, provides the robot controller with the movement data of the vertebra to be drilled. Robot Operating System (ROS) framework is used to enable real-time communication between the collaborative robot and the visual exteroceptive device. In addition, an implemented compliance control program allows to enhance the safety aspect of the robotic platform. Indeed, the collaborative robot follows the patient's movements while constraining the tool movements to an optimal trajectory as well as a limited drilling depth selected by the surgeon. The collaborative robot's elbow movements are also restricted by exploiting the null-space in order to avoid collisions with other equipment or the medical team members. Experimental drilling trials have been performed by an orthopedic surgeon to validate the usefulness and different functionalities of the developed robotic platform, and provide that a collaborative robot can comply with a spine surgery procedure. These preliminary tests were performed in a lumbar spine model for which the use of a robotic device is most frequent due to a lower complexity compared to the cervical spine.
Thermophysical Analysis of Microconfined Turbulent Flow Regimes at Supercritical Fluid Conditions in Heat Transfer Applications
Authors: Bernades Marc , Jofre Lluís 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The technological opportunities enabled by understanding and controlling microscale systems have not yet been capitalized to disruptively improve energy processes, especially heat transfer and power generation. The main limitation corresponds to the laminar flows typically encountered in microdevices, which result in small mixing and transfer rates. This is a central unsolved problem in the thermal–fluid sciences. Therefore, this work focuses on analyzing the potential of supercritical fluids to achieve turbulence in microconfined systems by studying their thermophysical properties. In particular, a real-gas thermodynamic model, combined with high-pressure transport coefficients, is utilized to characterize the Reynolds number achieved as a function of supercritical pressures and temperatures. The results indicate that fully turbulent flows can be attained for a wide range of working fluids related to heat transfer applications, power cycles and energy conversion systems, and presenting increment ratios of O(100) with respect to atmospheric (subcritical) thermodynamic conditions. The underlying physical mechanism to achieve relatively high Reynolds numbers is based on operating within supercritical thermodynamic states (close to the critical point and pseudo-boiling region) in which density is relatively large while dynamic viscosity is similar to that of a gas. In addition, based on the Reynolds numbers achieved and the thermophysical properties of the fluids studied, an assessment of heat transfer at turbulent microfluidic conditions is presented to demonstrate the potential of supercritical fluids to enhance the performances of standard microfluidic systems by factors up to approximately 50×.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a three-dimensional biomechanical model of the upper body and analyzes the interaction between the upper body and aircraft seat backrest for different sitting postures and backrest recline angles. The reclined sitting postures of the upper body are defined based on the available spine biomechanical data and the multibody inverse kinematics method. The contact loadings on each contacted spine segment are calculated based on the Newton-Euler dynamic formulation. The backrest contact pressure distribution is simulated using the contact stress theory based on the calculated forces on the backrest. The resultant force and pressure distribution show how the backrest inclination and lateral bending of the trunk affect the backrest loading and contact condition. The simulation results are compared to the experimental measurement for validation, and a good correspondence is found. The parameters, including the average and maximum pressure, and pressure standard deviation based on the pressure distribution, are also compared, and the maximum simulation error is 11.5% on the average pressure. Limitations of the model are discussed. The model proposed in this paper can analyze more posture cases than previous studies that focused on the two-dimensional scenarios. The loading and pressure prediction model can be applied for backrest design evaluation and facilitate seat design optimization.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine the inclusiveness of visually impaired youths’ experiences in integrated physical education. An experiential qualitative research approach was utilized, and 22 visually impaired youth (age 12–17 years) acted as participants. Data sources included one-on-one Zoom interviews, written responses to long-answer prompts, and reflexive interview notes. Data were analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis approach, and three themes were constructed: (a) I’m not there, so how could I: The absent person; (b) I can’t see, so I can’t do it: The incapable person; and (c) It’d be nice to feel like everyone else: The “normal” person. Participants described that feelings of inclusion were unavailable to them and that feeling, and being viewed as, absent, incapable, and (not) “normal” highlighted this unavailability.
