Effect of food cues on time perception: influence of calories and diet control
Authors: Hallez Quentin , Filippone Lisa , Shankland Rebecca 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the influence on individuals’ time perception of observing a range of foods differing in calorific content. In a first experiment, 92 adult participants performed a temporal bisection task with stimulus durations presented in the form of high- or low-calorie food pictures as well as matched non-food control pictures. In a second experiment, 102 participants performed a strict replication of Experiment 1, without the low-calorie pictures condition as it showed less pronounced effects. Across the two experiments, the data revealed common results. An overestimation of time was observed in relation to high-calorie food pictures when compared with non-food pictures (Experiment 2), and the effect was a function of participants' diet control (Experiments 1 & 2). Contrary to our hypothesis, the more the participants reported controlling their diet, the less they overestimated the time when presented with food stimuli. The participants who controlled their diet reported being less aroused by the high-calorie food pictures, allowing the assumption that the modulation in time overestimation relies on the arousal response generated by high-calorie food pictures.

AbstractCremastra appendiculata (D. Don) Makino is a rare terrestrial orchid with a high market value as an ornamental and Chinese traditional medicinal herb with a wide range of pharmacological properties. The pseudobulbs of C. appendiculata are one of the primary sources of the famous traditional Chinese medicine “Shancigu”, which has been clinically used for treating many diseases, especially, as the main component to treat gout. The lack of genetic research and genome data restricts the modern development and clinical use of C. appendiculata. Here, we report a 2.3 Gb chromosome-level genome of C. appendiculata. We identify a series of candidates of 35 candidate genes responsible for colchicine biosynthesis, among which O-methyltransferase (OMT) gene exhibits an important role in colchicine biosynthesis. Co-expression analysis reveal purple and green-yellow module have close relationships with pseudobulb parts and comprise most of the colchicine pathway genes. Overall, our genome data and the candidate genes reported here set the foundation to decipher the colchicine biosynthesis pathways in medicinal plants.
Organ of Corti vibrations are dominated by longitudinal motion in vivo
Authors: Meenderink Sebastiaan W. F. , Dong Wei 
Published: November 2022

AbstractRecent observations of sound-evoked vibrations of the cochlea’s sensory organ of Corti (ooC) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) have revealed unanticipated and complex motions. Interpreting these results in terms of the micromechanical inner-ear processes that precede hair-cell transduction is not trivial since OCT only measures a projection of the true motion, which may include transverse and longitudinal displacements. We measure ooC motions at multiple OCT beam angles relative to the longitudinal axis of the basilar membrane (BM) by using the cochlea’s natural curvature and find that the relative phase between outer hair cells (OHC) and BM varies with this angle. This includes a relatively abrupt phase reversal where OHC lead (lag) the BM by ~0.25 cycles for negative (positive) beam angles, respectively. We interpret these results as evidence for significant longitudinal motion within the ooC, which should be considered when interpreting (relative) ooC vibrations in terms of inner-ear sound processing.

Early loss of radiographic reduction after acute acromioclavicular joint reconstruction: Comparison of open Double Endobutton fixation vs. Nottingham Surgilig
Authors: Saraglis Georgios , Chaudhari Harsh , Sanjani Shahrukh Reza , Khan Anwar 
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Surgical treatment is usually recommended for the acute unstable acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations. Among the wide variety of different surgical techniques, the Double Endobutton and the Nottingham Surgilig technique are two of the most widely acceptable and well described techniques. The aim of this study was to offer a direct comparison of the above techniques in question, analysing the patients outcomes and assessing the risk of early loss of radiographic reduction. Materials and methods: A total of 48 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Patients were categorised in two groups (Endobutton and Nottingham Surgilig group) and post operative assessment of the patients was performed using the Oxford Shoulder (OSS) and Constant Murley (CMS) scores. Patient demographics, hand dominance, ACJ classification and co-morbidities were included in the analysis and radiographic evaluation was conducted for both groups. Results: Both techniques provide a good outcome in the management of unstable ACJ dislocations but the risk of early radiographic failure remains higher in the double Endobutton technique (26% vs. 17.39% for the Nottingham Surgilig group). Factors such as patients’ demographics, hand dominance, co-morbidities and grade of ACJ separation do not seem to contribute to radiographic loss of reduction, whereas the incorrect positioning of the coracoid endobutton is a significant factor predisposing to early radiographic failure, P < 0.001. Discussion: The incidence of early loss of radiographic reduction still remains high in both groups. In order to reduce this common complication, accurate placement of the coracoid endobutton under fluoroscopic intra-operative control is strongly recommended.

AbstractPurpose The aim of this guideline is to standardize the diagnosis and therapy of recurrent miscarriage (RM) using evidence from the recent literature. This is done by using consistent definitions, objective evaluations and standardized treatment protocols.Methods When this guideline was compiled, special consideration was given to previous recommendations in prior versions of this guideline and the recommendations of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and a detailed individual search of the literature about the different topics was carried out.Recommendations Recommendations about the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures offered to couples with RM were developed based on the international literature. Special attention was paid to known risk factors such as chromosomal, anatomical, endocrinological, physiological coagulation, psychological, infectious and immune disorders. Recommendations were also developed for those cases where investigations are unable to find any abnormality (idiopathic RM).
Climate change and allergy-related impacts on humans
Authors: Oh Jae-Won 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Climate change represents a massive threat to global health that could affect many disease factors in the twenty-first century. The influence of a changing climate on allergic disease has generated interest among the public and the scientific community. Climate change is a continuing process that affects allergy, and there are multiple potential consequences of climatic change on plant phenology. Impacts on pollen may be one of the most important consequences of climate change on human health. A growing number of people are contracting allergic diseases caused by pollen. Airborne pollen is one of the common causatives and triggering agents of respiratory allergy in a changing climate. Moreover, allergenic plants grow in soil disturbed by human activities and deforestation with air pollution, and it is impossible to avoid plants that cause allergies because pollen can travel many kilometers on the wind. Weather conditions may alter pollen concentrations. A number of studies have shown that increased CO

concentration and atmospheric temperature increase pollen concentration. Hence, most works on the impact of climate change on aeroallergens include its impact on the amount and allergenicity of pollen. It is as yet unknown what complex interactions between pollens, meteorological variables and air pollutants occur as a result of climate change. Considering the effect of climate change on long-term trends in pollen levels and emerging viral infections, it is crucial to report and forecast the associated risk for future human health.
“The red panda is a raccoon”: Consuming fantasy and imagination in wildlife tourism
Authors: Guo Yulei 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Based on a case study of red panda-tourist interactions at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, this case analyzes the consumption of fantasy and imagination in wildlife tourism. The red panda, a rare and attractive animal native to southwestern China, is relatively unfamiliar to Chinese tourists, who frequently mistake it for a raccoon, a North American native. This fanciful and imaginative consumption of the red panda is assessed through its relevance to the construction of tourist identities and societal relations. The case has empirical implications for educators as well as managers in the field of conservation.

Binding structure, breaking forces and conductance of Au-Octanedithiol-Au molecular junction under stretching processes: a DFT-NEGF study

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Au-n-octanedithiol-Au molecular junction (Au-SC8S-Au) has been investigated using density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green’s function approach. Theoretically calculated results are used to build the relationship between the interface binding structures and single-molecule quantum conductance of n-octanedithiol (SC8S) embodied in a gold nanogap with or without stretching forces. To understand the electron transport mechanism in the single molecular nanojunction, we designed three types of Au-SC8S-Au nanogaps, including flat electrode through an Au atom connecting (Model I), top-pyramidal or flat electrodes with the molecule adsorbing directly (Model II), and top-pyramidal Au electrodes with Au atomic chains (Model III). We first determined the optimized structures of different Au-SC8S-Au nanogaps, and then predicted the distance-dependent stretching force and conductance in each case. Our calculated results show that in the Model I with an Au atom bridging the flat Au (111) gold electrodes and the SC8S molecule, the conductance decreases exponentially before the fracture of Au–Au bond, in a good agreement with the experimental conductance in the literature. For the top-pyramidal electrode Models II and III, the magnitudes of molecular conductance are larger than that in Model I. Our theoretical calculations also show that the Au–Au bond fracture takes place in Models I and III, while the Au–S bond fracture appears in Model II. This is explained due to the total strength of three synergetic Au–Au bonds stronger than an Au–S bond in Model II. This is supported from the broken force about 2 nN for the Au–Au bond and 3 nN for the Au–S bond.

Abstract
Lead-free SnIn solders are promising for superconducting magnet applications. However, their superconducting properties are not as good as lead solders. In order to improve the superconducting performance of the Sn–In solders, researchers have investigated the superconducting properties of ternary systems such as Sn–In–Bi for solder joints. In this study, powders of Pb, Nb, AgCu and grapheme nano pellets in the ratios of 0.5–5 wt% have been added into SnIn (35:65) to investigate their microstructural, thermal and superconducting properties. The added materials enhance the superconducting properties. We find that even low Pb additions show a dramatic improvement in superconducting properties, with an increase in both T
c and J
c values of up to 6.35 K and 1.47 × 104 A m−2, respectively. This shows that much lower Pb content superconducting solders can be effective and could be used to replace the PbBi solder commonly used with the superconducting properties T

Review on Thermoelectric Generators (TEG) and their applications: Progress, Challenges, and future prospects
Authors: Radouane Nassima 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Our community is currently dealing with issues such as rising electricity costs, pollution, and global warming. Scientists are working to improve energy harvesting-based power generators in order to reduce their impacts. The Seebeck effect has been used to illustrate the capacity of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to directly convert thermal energy to electrical energy. They are also ecologically beneficial since they do not include chemical products, function quietly because they lack mechanical structures and/or moving components, and may be built using different fabrication technologies such as 3D printing, silicon technology, and screen printing etc. TEGs are also position-independent, have a long operational lifetime, and can be integrated into bulk and flexible devices. This review gives further in investigation of TEGs, beginning with a full discussion of their operating principle, kinds, materials utilized, figure of merit, and improvement approaches, which include various thermoelectric material arrangements and utilised technologies. This paper also discusses the use of TEGs in a variety of disciplines such as automobile and biomedical.

Abstract
We present large-scale (2° × 2°) observations toward the molecular cloud M120.1+3.0, using 12CO, 13CO and C18O (J = 1 − 0) data from the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7 m millimeter telescope. The distance of the cloud is measured to be ∼1.1 kpc. Using the 13CO data, we identify a main filament F1 and two sub-filaments F2 and F3 in the cloud, which together show a “hub-filament” structure. Filaments F1 and F2 are thermally supercritical. Furthermore, F1 displays clear localized systematic motions in the 13CO position–velocity diagram, which could be explained by accretion along the filament. The mean estimated accretion rate is ∼132 M
⊙ Myr−1. Approximately 150 13CO clumps are identified in the cloud, of which 39 are gravitationally bound. Most of these virialized clumps are well distributed along the supercritical filaments F1 and F2. Based on the complementary infrared and optical data, we identify ∼186 young stellar objects in the observed area and extract five clusters within the dense ridge of F1. The calculated star formation rate (SFR) surface densities (ΣSFR) in the clusters range from 1.4 to 2.5 M
⊙ Myr−1 pc−2, with a mean value of ∼2.0 M
⊙ Myr−1 pc−2. We therefore regard them as mini-starburst cluster candidates. The comparison between ΣSFR and column density N
gas along the skeleton of F1 suggests that star formation is closely related to the dense gas in the cloud. Along the main filament F1, five bipolar outflows are also found. All these results indicate intense star-forming activities in the M120.1+3.0 molecular cloud.

Abstract

Objective. Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a mononeuropathy of the exclusively sensory lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) that is difficult to treat with conservative treatments. Afferents from the LFCN enter the spinal cord through the dorsal root entry zones (DREZs) innervating L2 and L3 spinal segments. We previously showed that epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can be configured to steer electrical currents laterally in order to target afferents within individual DREZs. Therefore, we hypothesized that this neuromodulation strategy is suitable to target the L2 and L3 DREZs that convey afferents from the painful territory, and thus alleviates MP related pain. Approach. A patient in her mid-30s presented with a four year history of dysesthesia and burning pain in the anterolateral aspect of the left thigh due to MP that was refractory to medical treatments. We combined neuroimaging and intraoperative neuromonitoring to guide the surgical placement of a paddle lead over the left DREZs innervating L2 and L3 spinal segments. Main results. Optimized electrode configurations targeting the left L2 and L3 DREZs mediated immediate and sustained alleviation of pain. The patient ceased all other medical management, reported improved quality of life, and resumed recreational physical activities. Significance. We introduced a new treatment option to alleviate pain due to MP, and demonstrated how neuromodulation strategies targeting specific DREZs is effective to reduce pain confined to specific regions of the body while avoiding disconfort.
Numerical analysis of the influence of wall roughness on the turbulent boundary layer separation
Authors: Kaminski P , Tyliszczak A 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Passive control of turbulent boundary layer (TBL) separation in a channel with adverse pressure gradient (APG) condition towards the outlet is investigated using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) methods and Large Eddy simulations (LES) with the help of commercial ANSYS software. Isothermal and incompressible flow in the near-wall area of the flat plate as well as various configurations of wavy wall is studied. It is shown that the amplitude and period of the waviness significantly influence the near wall region and point of separation.
Experimental study of laminar-to-turbulent transition in an adverse pressure gradient flow
Authors: Gumowski K , Kubacki S 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Experimental results on laminar-to-turbulent transition in a separated laminar boundary layer formed over a flat plate in an adverse pressure gradient are provided. Experiments have been performed for a range of Reynolds numbers (1.4 − 2.4 · 105) and for two freestream turbulence levels (Tu =3.6 and 5.3%). The measurements of mean and fluctuating velocity profiles have been carried out at inlet to the test section using Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA). The data might be useful for validation and development of transition models. In order to characterize the dynamics leading to the transition process in the separated boundary layer on the plate surface, the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements have been performed. The results show that the transition process in the separated boundary layer is influenced by breakdown of the Klebanoff streaks.
Experimental analysis of the impact of an acoustic excitation on a separated boundary layer behaviour
Authors: Sokolenko V , Elsner W , Dróżdż A , Gnatowska R , Rarata Z , Kubacki S 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The paper examines the effect of acoustic excitation at broadband frequency range (100 - 650 Hz) on separated boundary layer developing on a flat plate subjected to an adverse pressure gradient. The experiment was conducted with a low inlet turbulence intensity level (Tu < 1%) in order to provide a cleaner environment that magnifies the effects of the excitation frequency. It was shown that acoustic excitation at sound pressure levels: SPL=125 and 135 dB, can lead to a more rapid increase in flow instability followed by an earlier laminar-turbulent (l-t) transition. The boundary layer reattachment point was shifted upstream and the size of the separation bubble was reduced in the flow with the acoustic excitation active.
Large Eddy Simulations of excited flames issuing from rectangular nozzles
Authors: Stempka Jakub , Tyliszczak Artur 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In the current study we assess an impact of passive and active flow control methods applied to the flames emanating from rectangular nozzles. The passive control is realised by varying a jet aspect ratio using differently shaped nozzles, while the active control relies on applying a forcing to the axial component of velocity. The analysis is performed through a series of high fidelity Large Eddy Simulations (LES) using a high order in-house solver. Combustion process is modelled using the detailed chemistry model of a hydrogen oxidation with a corresponding set of species transport equations. It is shown that the passive flow control affects the jet flames significantly only up to a moderate forcing frequency. For a high frequency excitation the effect of the aspect ratio is weak. A combination of both control methods is found as very efficient in altering important practical flame features like a lift-off height and flame shape.
