Water Allocation Management Under Scarcity: a Bankruptcy Approach
Authors: Zheng Yang , Sang Xuefeng , Liu Zhiwu , Zhang Siqi , Liu Pan 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis study hopes to develop a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method for equitable and efficient allocation of water resources under scarcity. Based on the Bankruptcy problems, five classic plus one proposed allocation rules are introduced to generate water distribution alternatives. The “Core” solution of Cooperative Game Theory (CGT) and the Security Restriction have been used to select feasible alternatives. Additionally, five voting methods in Social Choice Theory (SCT) are launched to aggregate preferences and obtain a “win” alternative. Apply this model to the 2030 water allocation planning project of Ezhou City, China, as a case study. Under the proposed rule, Adjust minimal overlap rule (AMO), five regions, Urban Area, Gedian DZ, and three counties, hold the water deficit rate of 5.9%, 15.8%, and 4.7%-6.1%, respectively. In aggregating preferences by voting, AMO wins four out of five methods and takes second place in the last one, which provides some insights for allocating water fairly and feasibly.

AbstractTo help upscale ecological restoration of degraded lands, landscape factors and longer time scales should be considered when assessing restoration efforts. We evaluated the impact of initial restoration intervention, landscape composition, and elapsed time since the restoration began on the long-term progress of Pannonic sand grassland restoration. Treatments (seeding, mowing, and carbon amendment) were implemented for 6–7 years and monitoring lasted up to 23 years after the first treatment applications in eight experimental blocks belonging to three field experiments. The abundance of target/neophyte species, and distance from primary grasslands and plantations (as major source of target/neophyte species) were estimated in 500 m landscape buffers around each block to characterize landscape composition. Restoration progress was calculated as the difference between the relative cover of target/neophyte species in treatment and control plots. Restoration intervention and neophyte abundance in the landscape had a significant effect on the restoration progress, but time did not. Seeding had the highest positive effect on target species and also prevented invasion by neophyte species. Higher abundance of neophytes in the landscape and the proximity to plantations increased the cover of neophytes in treatment plots. We conclude that restoration interventions may have a greater impact on restoration progress in the longer term than landscape factors or elapsed time. Seeding proved to be the best method in restoring sand grasslands by both favoring target species and controlling invasion. From the landscape factors, the abundance of neophyte species and distance to plantations should be considered when prioritizing areas and efforts for restoration.

Abstract
Objectives
The Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) Life Quality Index (ILQI) is a 10-item patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure developed in US-English to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adults with ITP. Analysis of ILQI responses indicated differences between Western and non-Western countries. The objective of this study was to translate and linguistically validate the ILQI for Japan and France.

Methods
The ILQI underwent dual forwards/backwards translation with reconciliation and resolution. The translations were reviewed prior to conducting cognitive interviews with ITP patients (n = 5 Japan, n = 5 France). Analysis of interview transcripts highlighted required modifications to the ILQI translations. Japanese and French ITP experts reviewed the final translations for cultural relevance and appropriateness.

Results
Most of the Japanese and French forward/backwards translations were reconciled with no revision. The ILQI instructions and items were well understood by Japanese and French participants. Wording in one item of the Japanese version of the ILQI was revised to better align with the source instrument. Three terms/phrases in the French translation were revised due to misunderstanding, being deemed inaccurate or culturally inappropriate. Following review by ITP experts from Japan and France, minor modifications were made.

Conclusion
Findings confirm the linguistic validity of the ILQI in Japanese and French.
Real-Time Social Robot’s Responses to Undesired Interactions Between Children and their Surroundings

Published: June 2022

AbstractAggression in children is frequent during the early years of childhood. Among children with psychiatric disorders in general, and autism in particular, challenging behaviours and aggression rates are higher. These can take on different forms, such as hitting, kicking, and throwing objects. Social robots that are able to detect undesirable interactions within its surroundings can be used to target such behaviours. In this study, we evaluate the performance of five machine learning techniques in characterizing five possible undesired interactions between a child and a social robot. We examine the effects of adding different combinations of raw data and extracted features acquired from two sensors on the performance and speed of prediction. Additionally, we evaluate the performance of the best developed model with children. Machine learning algorithms experiments showed that XGBoost achieved the best performance across all metrics (e.g., accuracy of 90%) and provided fast predictions (i.e., 0.004 s) for the test samples. Experiments with features showed that acceleration data were the most contributing factor on the prediction compared to gyroscope data and that combined data of raw and extracted features provided a better overall performance. Testing the best model with data acquired from children performing interactions with toys produced a promising performance for the shake and throw behaviours. The findings of this work can be used by social robot developers to address undesirable interactions in their robotic designs.
Designing Sound for Social Robots: Candidate Design Principles
Authors: Robinson Frederic Anthony , Bown Oliver , Velonaki Mari 
Published: June 2022

AbstractHow can we use sound and music to create rich and engaging human-robot interactions? A growing body of HRI research explores the many ways in which sound affects human-robot interactions and although some studies conclude with tentative design recommendations, there are, to our knowledge, no generalised design recommendations for the robot sound design process. We address this gap by first investigating sound design frameworks in the domains of product sound design and film sound to see whether practices and concepts from these areas contain actionable insights for the creation of robot sound. We then present three case studies, detailed examinations of the sound design of commercial social robots Cozmo and Vector, Jibo, and Kuri, facilitated by expert interviews with the robots’ sound designers. Combining insights from the design frameworks and case studies, we propose nine candidate design principles for robot sound which provide (1) a design-oriented perspective on robot sound that may inform future research, and (2) actionable guidelines for designers, engineers and decision-makers aiming to use sound to create richer and more refined human-robot interactions.
UAV Landing Platform Recognition Using Cognitive Computation Combining Geometric Analysis and Computer Vision Techniques
Authors: García-Pulido J. A. , Pajares G. , Dormido S. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are excellent tools with extensive demand. During the last phase of landing, they require additional support to that of GPS. This can be achieved through the UAV’s perception system based on its on-board camera and intelligence, and with which decisions can be made as to how to land on a platform (target). A cognitive computation approach is proposed to recognize this target that has been specifically designed to translate human reasoning into computational procedures by computing two probabilities of detection which are combined considering the fuzzy set theory for proper decision-making. The platform design is based on: (1) spectral information in the visible range which are uncommon colors in the UAV’s operating environments (indoors and outdoors) and (2) specific figures in the foreground, which allow partial perception of each figure. We exploit color image properties from specific-colored figures embedded on the platform and which are identified by applying image processing and pattern recognition techniques, including Euclidean Distance Smart Geometric Analysis, to identify the platform in a very efficient and reliable manner. The test strategy uses 800 images captured with a smartphone onboard a quad-rotor UAV. The results verify the proposed method outperforms existing strategies, especially those that do not use color information. Platform recognition is also possible even with only a partial view of the target, due to image capture under adverse conditions. This demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed cognitive computing-based perception system.
Photoperiodic time measurement, photoreception, and circadian clocks in insect photoperiodism
Authors: Goto Shin G. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractPhotoperiodism is an adaptive response used by organisms to assess day length and anticipate upcoming seasons and to coordinate their (or their offspring’s) development and physiology with the environmental changes. These physiological mechanisms have long been studied to understand insect life cycles, combat pests, conserve endangered species, and rear beneficial insects. Recent genetic manipulations have greatly expanded our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiodism. Here, I review our current knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiodic time measurement, photoreception, and circadian clocks, which constitute insect photoperiodism modules, with a special emphasis on photoperiodic time measurement models.
Identifying effective sink node combinations in spacecraft data transfer networks
Authors: Clark Ruaridh A. , McGrath Ciara N. , Macdonald Malcolm 
Published: June 2022

AbstractComplex networks are emerging in low-Earth-orbit as the communication architectures of inter-linked space systems. These data transfer networks vary based on spacecraft interaction with targets and ground stations, which respectively represent source and sink nodes for data flowing through the network. We demonstrate how networks can be used to identify effective sink node selections that in combination provide source coverage, high data throughput, and low latency connections for intermittently connected, store-and-forward space systems. The challenge in this work is to account for the changing data transfer network that varies significantly depending on the ground stations selected—given a system where data is downlinked by spacecraft at the first opportunity. Therefore, passed-on networks are created to capture the redistribution of data following a sink node’s removal from the system, a problem of relevance to traffic management in a variety of flow network applications. Modelling the system using consensus dynamics, enables sink node selections to be evaluated in terms of their source coverage and data throughput. While restrictions in the depth of propagation when defining passed-on networks, ensures the optimisation implicitly rewards lower latency connections. This is a beneficial by-product for both space system design and store-and-forward data networks in general. The passed-on networks also provide an insight into the relationship between sink nodes, with eigenvector embedding-based communities identifying sink node divisions that correspond with differences in source node coverage.
Urod algebras and Translation of W-algebras
Authors: Arakawa Tomoyuki , Creutzig Thomas , Feigin Boris 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In this work, we introduce Urod algebras associated to simply laced Lie algebras as well as the concept of translation of W-algebras.
Both results are achieved by showing that the quantum Hamiltonian reduction commutes with tensoring with integrable representations; that is, for V and L an affine vertex algebra and an integrable affine vertex algebra associated with

$\mathfrak {g}$

, we have the vertex algebra isomorphism

$H_{DS,f}^{0}(V\otimes L)\cong H_{DS,f}^{0}(V)\otimes L$

, where in the left-hand-side the Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction is taken with respect to the diagonal action of

$\widehat {\mathfrak {g}}$

on

$V{\otimes } L$

.
The proof is based on some new construction of automorphisms of vertex algebras, which may be of independent interest. As corollaries, we get fusion categories of modules of many exceptional W-algebras, and we can construct various corner vertex algebras.
A major motivation for this work is that Urod algebras of type A provide a representation theoretic interpretation of the celebrated Nakajima–Yoshioka blowup equations for the moduli space of framed torsion free sheaves on

$\mathbb {CP}^{2}$

of an arbitrary rank.
A partial tyrannosauroid femur from the mid-Cretaceous Wayan Formation of eastern Idaho, USA
Authors: Krumenacker L. J. , Zanno Lindsay E. , Sues Hans-Dieter 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe diversity of mid-Cretaceous tyrannosauroids is poorly understood. We describe a partial tyrannosauroid femur from the Albian–Cenomanian Wayan Formation of eastern Idaho that helps to fill in an important spatiotemporal gap in the North American record of tyrannosaurs. This specimen, consisting of the proximal half of the bone, is morphologically similar to the femur of Moros intrepidus, a small-bodied tyrannosauroid from the Cenomanian Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, but not referable to this taxon. The Wayan femur lacks an autapomorphy diagnostic for Moros intrepidus, indicating the presence of a previously unrecognized tyrannosauroid taxon in the early Late Cretaceous of Laramidia. Histological results indicate that, at the time of death, this individual was at least five years old, skeletally immature, and undergoing growth at a moderate rate. The addition of this tyrannosauroid to the Wayan-Vaughn Assemblage provides additional evidence for the widespread distribution of various tyrannosauroid taxa in Laramidia during the early Late Cretaceous.
O conceito de forma literária em Antonio Candido e Ángel Rama: Continuidade e ruptura num diálogo crítico latino-americano (1940–1970)
Authors: Daie Fábio Salem 
Published: June 2022

ResumoO artigo investiga o conceito de forma literária segundo Antonio Candido e Ángel Rama, com ênfase nas formulações publicadas pelo jovem Candido na primeira metade da década de 1940 em Brigada Ligeira e na revista Clima. Essas formulações resguardariam um caráter chave para a compreensão do mesmo conceito na fase madura de ambos os críticos, sobretudo a partir de 1970. Desse período, são referidos textos como “Dialética da malandragem”, no caso de Candido; e “Sistema literario y sistema social en Hispanoamérica”, no que se refere a Rama. Num primeiro momento, ao vincular o conceito de forma à psicologia desvelada pela obra, Candido buscava discernir no seu fundamento estético certa dinâmica ideológica da burguesia brasileira. O artigo deseja mostrar como tal vínculo entre classe social e forma literária teria sido preservado, com as devidas modificações, por Rama em sua compreensão da literatura transcultural na América Latina. Uma das conclusões diz respeito aos esforços de sistematização dos corpora literários (brasileiro/latino-americano), os quais teriam conduzido a acepções diversas do conceito de forma. Uma segunda conclusão abrange as dimensões de negatividade e positividade nos conceitos de Candido e Rama, em sua fase madura, fator responsável pela ruptura teórica neste diálogo crítico.
A systematic review on delayed acquisition of post-gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging in Ménière's disease: imaging of the endolymphatic spaces
Authors: Han A , Kontorinis G 
Published: June 2022

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the clinical implications of delayed-acquisition post-gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging in identifying endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière's disease.MethodThis study was a systematic review using Medline and Embase and following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines with predetermined criteria, namely Ménière's disease, post-gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging and endolymphatic hydrops. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool was used to assess bias.ResultsEleven studies were included; they all used 3T magnetic resonance imaging, with three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery being the most common sequence. Intravenous gadolinium administration was more widely used compared with the intratympanic route. As for the timing of acquisition, 4 hours post-administration was universally used for the IV gadolinium and 24 hours was used for the intratympanic gadolinium. Despite patient-selection associated bias, all studies reported adequate visualisation of the endolymphatic spaces.ConclusionThe use of delayed-acquisition magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly supported in visualising the endolymphatic spaces in Ménière's disease. Although the accessibility of 3T magnetic resonance imaging questions its wider applicability, it is a promising tool for the near future.
The masculine bias in fully gendered languages and ways to avoid it: A study on gender neutral forms in Québec and Swiss French
Authors: Kim Jonathan , Angst Sarah , Gygax Pascal , Gabriel Ute , Zufferey Sandrine 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACTThe extent to which gender neutral and gendered nouns impact differently upon native French speakers’ gender representations was examined through a yes-no forced choice task. Swiss (Experiment 1) and Québec (Experiment 2) French-speaking participants were presented with word pairs composed of a gendered first name (e.g., Thomas) and a role (e.g., doctor), and tasked to indicate whether they believed that [first name] could be one of the [role]. Roles varied according to gender stereotypicality (feminine, masculine, non-stereotyped), and were either in a plural masculine (interpretable as generic) or gender neutral (epicenes and group nouns) form. The results indicated that the use of gender neutral forms of roles avoided a strong male bias found for the masculine forms, and that both gender neutral and masculine forms used equal cognitive resources. Further, stereotype effects associated with both gender-neutral and grammatically masculine forms were quite small (<1%). These results were highly reliable across both Swiss French and Québec speakers. Our study suggests that gender neutral forms are strong alternatives to the use of the masculine form as default value.
Hostile Sexism, Benevolent Sexism, and American Elections
Authors: Winter Nicholas J. G. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAnalyzing unique, nationally representative data, I show that two faces of sexism—hostile and benevolent—operate in systematically different ways to shape Americans’ electoral decisions and evaluations of their leaders. In the 2016 presidential election, both fostered support for Donald Trump and opposition to Hillary Clinton. They operated differently at the congressional level, however. In analyses of actual congressional candidates and in a conjoint experiment, the impact of hostile sexism is moderated by candidate sex: those high in hostile sexism oppose (and those low in hostile sexism favor) female candidates. Benevolent sexism is moderated by candidates’ symbolically gendered leadership styles: those high in benevolent sexism oppose candidates with feminine styles and favor candidates with masculine styles, regardless of whether the candidate is male or female. I conclude with discussion of the implications of the two faces of sexism for the role of gender and power in American elections.
Paradoxical role of β8 integrin on angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry in glioblastoma

Published: June 2022

AbstractGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and highly vascularized brain tumor with poor prognosis. Endothelial cell-dependent angiogenesis and tumor cell-dependent Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) synergistically contribute to glioma vascularization and progression. However, the mechanism underlying GBM vascularization remains unclear. In this study, GBM stem cells (GSCs) were divided into high and low β8 integrin (ITGB8) subpopulations. Co-culture assays followed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), migration, Matrigel tube formation, and sprouting assays were conducted to assess the proliferative, migratory and angiogenic capacity of GBM cells and human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hBMECs). An intracranial glioma model was constructed to assess the effect of ITGB8 on tumor vascularization in vivo. Our results indicated that ITGB8 expression was elevated in GSCs and positively associated with stem cell markers in glioma tissues, and could be induced by hypoxia and p38 activation. ITGB8 in GSCs inhibited the angiogenesis of hBMECs in vitro, while it promoted the ability of network formation and expression of VM-related proteins. The orthotopic GBM model showed that ITGB8 contributed to decreased angiogenesis, meanwhile enhanced invasiveness and VM formation. Mechanistic studies indicated that ITGB8-TGFβ1 axis modulates VM and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process via Smad2/3-RhoA signaling. Together, our findings demonstrated a differential role for ITGB8 in the regulation of angiogenesis and VM formation in GBM, and suggest that pharmacological inhibition of ITGB8 may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of GBM.
