AbstractThe process of platelet aggregation is often influenced by several factors including sex and age. A literature review confirmed the existence of sex-related differences in platelet aggregation. Although 68 out of 78 papers found such differences, there are still some controversies regarding these differences, which can be due to multiple factors (age, trigger, concomitant disease, sample handling, etc.). These outcomes are discussed in line with novel results obtained from a local study, in which blood samples from a total of 53 overall healthy women and men with ages ranging from 20 to 66 years were collected. Aggregation was induced with seven different triggers (ristocetin, thrombin receptor activating peptide 6 [TRAP-6], arachidonic acid [AA], platelet-activating factor 16 [PAF-16], ADP, collagen, or thromboxane A2 analog U-46619) ex vivo. In addition, three FDA-approved antiplatelet drugs (vorapaxar, ticagrelor, or acetylsalicylic acid [ASA]) were also tested. In general, women had higher aggregation responses to some agonists (ADP, TRAP), as well as lower benefit from inhibitors (ASA, vorapaxar). The aggregatory responses to AA and TRAP decreased with age in both sexes, while responses to ADP, U-46619, and PAF were affected by age only in women. In conclusion, more studies are needed to decipher the biological importance of sex-related differences in platelet aggregation in part to enable personalized antiplatelet treatment.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe study describes that gender conceptions, understanding what is considered masculine or feminine, have impacted the women’s activity named entrepreneurship. Attention is drawn to the fact that in Latin languages, such as the Portuguese language, there is a predominance of grammatical sexism, using male predicates to indicate male gender as well as human gender. In that scenario, this paper presents a literature review focused on female entrepreneurship in Brazil by gathering 88 articles in English and Portuguese from the following bibliographic sources: ProQuest, Web of Science, and Lilacs. The data were categorised and analysed using R, a software environment for statistical computing. In that regard, a text-mining analysis has been carried out by adopting the statistical package Iramuteq for performing assisted lexicometrical analysis. The overall frequency of linguistic utterances (explorative statistics), a simplified factor analysis about absolute frequency (word cloud), and a hierarchical descendant classification of stable lexical classes are used. Results indicate that even when the topic is women’s entrepreneurship, female terms are not mentioned or considered when discussing entrepreneurship and its professional aspects. It seems that it is necessary to listen to the voice of women if the literature intends to produce knowledge about entrepreneurship in Brazil in the way it promotes impact and social relevance.

Hard x-ray (HXR) spectroscopy is applied for diagnostics of runaway electrons in nuclear fusion reactors. The scintillation counter is one of the most commonly used types of detectors for HXR spectroscopy. It consists of a detector that emits light when excited by HXR radiation (scintillator) directly coupled to a PMT (Photomultiplier Tube) that converts light pulses into an electrical signal. This type of detector is commonly used in existing tokamaks, such as Joint European Torus (JET), Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), Compact Assembly (COMPASS), and Axially Symmetric Divertor Experiment (ASDEX-U). In all these cases, the scintillator is directly coupled to the PMT to provide the best possible light transmission efficiency. The Hard X-ray Monitor (HXRM) is one among the first plasma diagnostic systems at ITER that provides information about the energy distribution of runaway electrons inside a tokamak by HXR spectroscopy. This system also uses a scintillator and a PMT as a detector. Due to the heavy shielding of the blanket modules, vacuum vessel, and port-plugs, it is not possible to assemble the scintillator outside the tokamak vacuum vessel. The PMT detector cannot be installed in the close vicinity of the tokamak due to either the significant magnetic field or temperature. A possible solution is to decouple the scintillator from the PMT and place the PMT inside the port-cell. Light pulses will be transmitted to the PMT via a 12 m long optical fiber bundle. Evaluation of the optical transmission was carried out to assess the performance of the HXR monitor and verify possible problems related to the PMT pulse discrimination under low light conditions.

To directly detect the spatial distribution of a plasma current during the collisional merging of two field-reversed configurations (FRCs) in the FAT-CM (FRC Amplification via Translation–Collisional Merging) device, an internal current probe using Rogowski coils has been developed. An FRC is a type of magnetically confined plasma maintained by a diamagnetic plasma current flowing in the toroidal direction. Self-organized FRC formation and increased poloidal flux have been observed following the destructive perturbation during the collision in collisional merging FRC formation when two initial-plasmoids collide at a relative speed of 300–400 km/s to form one FRC. It is indicated that the toroidal plasma current is driven in those processes. In this research, an internal Rogowski probe was designed and developed to have a high-frequency response to capture a rapid change of the plasma current in a few microseconds during the collision/merging process. The FRC plasma in FAT-CM has relatively high temperature (∼100 to 200 eV) and high density (∼1020 to 1021 m−3). As a result, the probe was built to be as compact as possible to minimize disruption to the plasma. Because of its high melting point and low Z property, a machinable boron nitride ceramic was chosen to shield the Rogowski coils thermally and electrically from the plasma. All connections and seams were constructed such that the epoxy glue used for the probe assembly was not exposed to the plasma.

Abstract
Microinjection is an essential process in genetic engineering that is used to deliver genetic materials into various biological specimens. Considering the high-throughput requirement for microinjection applications ranging from gene editing to cell therapies, there is a need for an automated, highly parallelized, reproducible, and easy-to-use microinjection strategy. Here we report an on-chip, microfluidic microinjection module designed for compatibility with microfluidic large-scale integration technology that can be fabricated via standard, multilayer soft lithography techniques. The needle-on-chip (NOC) module consists of a two-layer polydimethylsiloxane-based microfluidic module whose puncture and injection operations are reliant solely on Quake valve actuation. As a proof-of-concept, we designed a NOC module to conduct the microinjection of a common genetics model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The NOC design was analyzed using finite element method simulations for a large range of practically viable geometrical parameters. The computational results suggested that a slight lateral offset (>10 μm) of the control channel is sufficient for a successful NOC operation with a large fabrication tolerance (50 μm, 50% channel width). To demonstrate proof-of-concept, the microinjection platform was fabricated and utilized to perform a successful injection of a tracer dye into C. elegans.
Understanding the effects of temporal waveform modulation of the laser emission power in laser powder bed fusion: Part I - Analytical modelling
Authors: Caprio Leonardo , Demir Ali Gökhan , Previtali Barbara 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The architecture of contemporary fiber laser sources enables users a wide choice in terms of spatial and temporal profiles during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. Given the range of possibilities, the need for analytical modelling approaches to predict the consequences of waveform modulation in terms of both thermal and fluid-dynamic aspects over the powder bed, process dynamics and resulting part quality is of great interest. Within the present investigation a moving point source analytical model was developed to study the effect of temporally modulated laser beams over the temperature distribution and recoil pressure induced over the molten region during single track LPBF depositions. This study configures as the first part of an investigation on the topic presented with the aim of developing the modeling framework to predict the effects of temporal waveform modulation in the LPBF process. The model developed was implemented numerically to simulate the single track LPBF deposition of stainless steel AISI316L with different waveform shapes ranging from the conventional Square Wave emission to Ramp Up, Ramp Down and Triangle waveforms. Modulation at different amplitude levels and different waveform frequencies were also investigated. Results show that temperature variations followed the temporal profile of the power exposed over the material. Consequently, recoil pressure oscillations over the melt region exhibited a periodic profiles correlated to the waveform modulation of the laser power indicating that melt flow may be controlled by means of such techniques. Peak values of recoil pressure, which might be symptomatic of melt pool instabilities, could be reduced employing higher levels of modulation frequency or lower oscillation amplitudes between non-zero values of the emission power.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate new double perovskite oxides in search of new promising functional material with properties of interest for high density storage applications. The crystal structure, magnetic, electronic and magneto-optical properties of the rare-earth-based double perovskites Ba2BʹRuO6 (Bʹ = Er, Tm) were investigated through full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the context of density functional theory (DFT) in Wien2k code. We used generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA + U approaches to calculate magneto-optical properties, including spin–orbit coupling due to 4f and 4d-electrons. The obtained DFT-optimized structures was cubic (space group: Fm = 3m), and the calculations (GGA + U) showed that the compounds Ba2ErRuO6 is semiconductor and the Ba2TmRuO6 is half-metal. The magneto-optical Kerr effect showed pronounced peaks at angles of 17.7∘ and 5.6∘ for an energy around 0.2 eV for both compounds, which could potentially have important applications in the infrared region or for blue and violet radiation.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In the last several decades, electronic ink (e-ink) microcapsules have been extensively employed in display screens owing to their high reflectivity and contrast under visible light irradiation, as well as their flexibility, low cost, and low power consumption. Herein, a simple coating technique serves to combine e-ink microcapsules containing multiple color particles with fabrics to design an intelligent reversible electrochromic flexible electronic fabric. E-ink microcapsules, transparent Ag nanowires (T-AgNWs), and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are sequentially and uniformly coated on the surface of the double-layer conductive strip structure composed of conductive fabric and insulating fabric. The electrophoretic discoloration of the e-ink microcapsules can be achieved by applying voltages of a certain magnitude between the bottom conductive fabric strip layer and the T-AgNWs/SWCNT composite conductive layer. Large-area flexible electrochromic fabrics can be formed by weaving strips coated with e-ink microcapsules materials based on the results of the continuous bending and soaking experiments, which has great application potential in the research of adaptive camouflage smart fabrics in the visible light field.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we studied the (3 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Kadomtsev-Petviasvili equation (3D-KPE) that is utilized in order to describe 3D solitons in weakly dispersive media, long wavelength water waves with weak nonlinear restoring forces, waves in ferromagnetic media, nonlinear wave propagation in supefluids, plasma physics and fluid dynamics by using the recently presented the new Kudryashov’s method. We successfully applied the new Kudryashov’s scheme to the investigated problem for the first time to achieve bright and singular soliton; besides, we showed that the technique is effective, easily applicable, and reliable in solving such nonlinear problems. Moreover, the necessary comments were given by obtaining appropriate soliton solutions and presented 3D and 2D graphics.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Gamma-ray observations have long been used to constrain the properties of dark matter
(DM), with a strong focus on weakly interacting massive particles annihilating through
velocity-independent processes. However, in the absence of clear-cut observational evidence for
the simplest candidates, the interest of the community in more complex DM scenarios involving a
velocity-dependent cross-section has been growing steadily over the past few years. We present
the first systematic study of velocity-dependent DM annihilation (in particular p-wave
annihilation and Sommerfeld enhancement) in a variety of astrophysical objects, not only including
the well-studied Milky Way dwarf satellite galaxies, but nearby dwarf irregular galaxies and local
galaxy clusters as well. Particular attention is given to the interplay between velocity
dependence and DM halo substructure. Uncertainties related to halo mass, phase-space and
substructure modelling are also discussed in this velocity-dependent context. We show that, for
s-wave annihilation, extremely large subhalo boost factors are to be expected, up to 1011
in clusters and up to 106–107 in dwarf galaxies where subhalos are usually assumed not to play
an important role. Boost factors for p-wave annihilation are smaller but can still reach 103
in clusters. The angular extension of the DM signal is also significantly impacted, with e.g. the
cluster typical emission radius increasing by a factor of order 10 in the s-wave case. We also
compute the signal contrast of the objects in our sample with respect to annihilation happening in
the Milky Way halo. Overall, we find that the hierarchy between the brightest considered targets
depends on the specific details of the assumed particle-physics model.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In order to study the ELMs filamentary structure generated
by plasma in H-mode, a tangential visible camera system was
established on EAST Tokamak. However, the obtained ELMs filamentary
structure cannot be accurately and quickly identified, which is not
conducive to the study of ELMs filamentary structure. In this paper,
the ELMs filamentary structure is preliminarily extracted by the
background subtraction method. The background modeling method adopts
multi-frame averaging followed by contrast stretching of the
image. Although the ELMs filamentary structure can be clearly seen
in the obtained image, there exists a lot of noise, so further
extraction of the ELMs filamentary structure is needed. In this
paper, the neural network model U-Net is used for image
segmentation. Compared with the traditional threshold segmentation,
the ELMs filamentary structure and noise can be accurately
distinguished, and ELMs filaments are better extracted. The results
show that the method presented in this paper is suitable for the
extraction of ELMs filamentary structure and beneficial to the study
of ELMs filamentary structure.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The design of obstetrical suction cups used for vacuum assisted delivery has not substantially evolved through history despite of its inherent limitations. The associated challenges concern both the decrease of risk of soft tissue damage and failure of instrumental delivery due to detachment of the cup. The present study firstly details some of the suction-based strategies that have been developed in wildlife in order to create and maintain an adhesive contact with potentially rough and uneven substratum in dry or wet environments. Such strategies have permitted the emergence of bioinspired suction-based devices in the fields of robotics or biomedical patches that are briefly reviewed. The objective is then to extend the observations of such suction-based strategies toward the development of innovative medical suction cups. We firstly conclude that the overall design, shape and materials of the suction cups could be largely improved. We also highlight that the addition of a patterned surface combined with a viscous fluid at the interface between the suction cup and scalp could significantly limit the detachment rate and the differential pressure required to exert a traction force. In the future, the development of a computational model including a detailed description of scalp properties should allow to experiment various designs of bioinspired suction cups.
Opposite eco-hydrological processes in flood and drought years caused comparable anomaly in dry-season canopy growth over southern Amazon
Authors: Zhang Huixian , Liu Yi 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
While the influences of droughts on Amazon rainforest have been extensively examined, little attention was paid to the extremely wet years characterized by low radiation which may limit the rainforest growth. Here, based on a series of satellite-observed vegetation and hydro-meteorological products, we found a two-stage canopy growth anomaly in the record-breaking wet year 2009, i.e. negative anomalies during April–July followed by positive ones during August–November. Our analysis suggests that, in April–July, low radiation associated with above-average rainfall and cloud cover was the most likely cause for negative anomalies in the canopy growth. In August–November, the rainfall and cloud cover were close to the average, but the solar radiation reaching the land surface was considerably above the average. This was because the atmospheric aerosols were extremely low, resulting from reduced biomass burning activities under the wet conditions. Large-scale positive anomalies in the canopy growth were observed during this 4 month period, mainly driven by the above-average radiation. During the severe drought year 2005, the forest canopy growth also experienced a two-stage process, but in the opposite order from the one in 2009. In April–July, enhanced canopy growth was observed in response to the above-average radiation. With the drought progress and soil water depletion, the canopy senescence was observed during the drought peak in August–November. Interestingly, if we examined the regional canopy growth anomaly during the typical dry season (i.e. July–September), both years showed similarly negative anomalies, but resulting from opposite eco-hydrological processes. This study identifies the explanation for the negative anomalies in the dry-season canopy growth over southern Amazon rainforest in both flood and drought years, and also underscores the necessity to separate different hydro-meteorological stages to better understand vegetation responses to extreme events.
