description: We present a novel experimental setup called miniBLAST, which enables systematic and repeatable laboratory tests of structures subjected to blast loads. The explosive source is based on the discharge of high electrical loads on a thin conductor, producing repeatable blast-type shock waves of controlled intensity. Conducting blast experiments under safe laboratory conditions offers significant advantages over large-scale experiments, which are expensive, require specialized personnel, are limited in number, and face repeatability issues.
 In this work, we provide a comprehensive description of the setup's design rationale and technical characteristics. Moreover, we place particular emphasis on the installation phases, safety, and metrology. The explosive source is analyzed and the signature of blast shock waves is retrieved. Finally, we present an example of a masonry wall subjected to blast loads of varying intensity. We then report its dynamic response in three dimensions and at different time instances.
 This new experimental setup offers a cost-effective, safe, and repeatable method to study structural dynamics under blast loads, with results that can be upscaled to real structures. It also aids in evaluating numerical models and lays the groundwork for further investigations into blast effects and mitigation.

description: Background Child overweight remains a prevalent public health concern, but the impact of maternal psychosocial stress and related constructs, the timing, and possible trajectories on child body mass index (BMI) is controversial. We aimed to investigate the association of maternal stress, depression and anxiety symptoms, and maternal hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) at delivery, 6, and 12 months postpartum with child BMI and age- and sex-standardized BMI (BMI-SDS) at age 3 years. Methods Data were derived from the Ulm SPATZ Health Study with a baseline examination between 04/2012 and 05/2013 at the University Medical Centre Ulm, Germany, the only maternity clinic in Ulm, with a good representation of the source population. Adjusted regression analyses based on BMI/BMI-SDS (dependent) and trajectories of stress, depression, and anxiety (independent variables) were investigated in 596 mothers and children. Multiple imputation of missing covariates was performed. Results Various trajectories in independent variables were identified, trajectories of maternal anxiety symptom differed between child sexes. We did not find an association between trajectories of maternal chronic stress, depression symptoms, or HCC and child BMI/BMI-SDS. However, trajectories of low-increasing maternal anxiety symptoms were linked to higher child BMI compared to a low-stable trajectory group (b = 0.58 kg/m2, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.11; 1.04) in girls. Conclusions Trajectories of maternal anxiety symptoms were associated with the child’s BMI/BMI-SDS in girls at age 3 years. However, further large scale studies should include variables to determine the causal pathway and enlighten sex-specific differences.

description: Background Parents and caregivers belonged to those with the highest burdens during the COVID-pandemic. Considering the close link between parental stress and child maltreatment, identifying families with high parental stress is of utmost importance to prevent violence against children. Within this study, we thus aimed to investigate the interplay of parental stress, changes in parental stress, and physical violence against children during the second year of the COVID-pandemic on an exploratory level. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study in Germany from July to October 2021. By using different sampling steps, a representative probability sample of the German population was generated. A subsample of these participants with children under the age of 18 was included for analysis within this study (N = 453, 60.3% females, Mage = 40.08; SD = 8.53). Results Higher parental stress levels were associated with more physical violence against children, higher levels of own experiences of child maltreatment, and mental health symptoms. An increase in parental stress during the pandemic was associated with female sex, the use of physical violence against children, and parental experience of child maltreatment. Parents who have ever used physical violence against their children have been characterized by higher parental stress levels, a stronger increase in parental stress during the pandemic, own experience of child maltreatment, mental health symptoms and sociodemographic characteristics. Higher parental stress levels, a stronger increase of parental stress during the pandemic, having pre-existing psychiatric disorders, and parental experience of child maltreatment predicted an increased use of physical violence against children during the pandemic. Conclusions Our results underscore the importance of parental stress for the risk of physical violence against children, more so in times of overall increased stress due to the pandemic and underline the need for low threshold support for families at risk in times of crises.

description: Multi-task learning (MTL) is an inductive transfer mechanism designed to leverage useful information from multiple tasks to improve generalization performance compared to single-task learning. It has been extensively explored in traditional machine learning to address issues such as data sparsity and overfitting in neural networks. In this work, we apply MTL to problems in science and engineering governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). However, implementing MTL in this context is complex, as it requires task-specific modifications to accommodate various scenarios representing different physical processes. To this end, we present a multi-task deep operator network (MT-DeepONet) to learn solutions across various functional forms of source terms in a PDE and multiple geometries in a single concurrent training session. We introduce modifications in the branch network of the vanilla DeepONet to account for various functional forms of a parameterized coefficient in a PDE. Additionally, we handle parameterized geometries by introducing a binary mask in the branch network and incorporating it into the loss term to improve convergence and generalization to new geometry tasks. Our approach is demonstrated on three benchmark problems: (1) learning different functional forms of the source term in the Fisher equation; (2) learning multiple geometries in a 2D Darcy Flow problem and showcasing better transfer learning capabilities to new geometries; and (3) learning 3D parameterized geometries for a heat transfer problem and demonstrate the ability to predict on new but similar geometries. Our MT-DeepONet framework offers a novel approach to solving PDE problems in engineering and science under a unified umbrella based on synergistic learning that reduces the overall training cost for neural operators.

description: Magnon frequency comb provides opportunities for exploring magnon nonlinear effects and measuring the transmission magnon frequency in magnets, whose controllability becomes vital for modulating the operating frequency and improving the measurement accuracy. Nevertheless, such controllable frequency comb remains to be explored. In this work, we investigate theoretically and numerically the skyrmion-induced magnon frequency comb effect generated by interaction between the magnon excitation mode and skyrmion breathing mode in synthetic ferrimagnets. It is revealed that both the skyrmion breathing mode and the magnon frequency gap closely depend on the net angular momentum δs, emphasizing the pivotal role of δs as an effective control parameter in governing the comb teeth. With the increase of δs, the skyrmion size decreases, which results in the enlargement of the breathing frequency and the distance between the comb teeth. Moreover, the dependences of the magnon frequency gap on δs and the inter-layer coupling allow one to modulate the comb lowest coherent frequency via structural control. Consequently, the coherent modes generated by the comb may range from gigahertz to terahertz frequencies, serving as a bridge between microwave and terahertz waves. Thus, this work represents a substantial advance in understanding the magnon frequency comb effect in ferrimagnets.

WELL Factsheet: Bacteriological testing of water
Creators: name: Cairncross, Sandy
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2024

description: The potential for water-borne disease arises when water is polluted with faecal matter. Polluted water may contain pathogenic (disease-causing) faecal bacteria, viruses, or other micro-organisms. It would be far too complex to try and detect all of these on a routine basis, and in any case many of the pathogens may only be present in very small numbers or not at all. It is therefore normal practice to look for ‘indicator bacteria”. These are species which are always excreted in large numbers in the faeces of warm-blooded animals, whether they are healthy or sick. Their presence indicates faecal contamination; it does not prove that water-borne disease is occurring.
Produced by WEDC and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for the Department of International Development (DFID) of the UK government (now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)), this archive collection of WELL factsheets remains relevant. It covers topics ranging from the anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater through to water quality and safety plans.

description: Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that its appearance is influenced by various lifestyle factors. This research is to analyze whether sociocultural (knowledge, type of treatment, and family support) and eating patterns (type, amount, and frequency of food) have an influence on the blood glucose levels of diabetes sufferers in Selayar Islands Regency. The type of research used is analytical observational with a cross sectional study design. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square method showed that the variables related to blood glucose levels were knowledge (p=0.000), family support (p=0.000), type of food: yellow rice (p=0.004), potatoes (p=0.036), shellfish (p=0.042), tofu (p=0.015), apples (p=0.046), and eating frequency (p=0.010). After all the variables that had a significant relationship were included in the multivariate analysis, the results showed that those that had an influence on the blood glucose levels of DM sufferers were family support (p=0.000, OR=4.316), knowledge (p=0.000, OR=3.526), and type of food (p=0.004, OR=0.378). The findings of this study have implications for the need to rearrange priorities for health facility providers (both government and private) to reduce the level of DM by educating the public about DM mitigation (potential and risk), strengthening family roles, and standardizing food supplies.

description: We constrain the redshift dependence of (rest frame) host galaxy dispersion measures of localized Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) by assuming it to vary as a simple power law ($\propto (1+z)^α$). We simultaneously fit $α$ as well as the host dispersion measure to the data of FRBs with known redshifts. We find that \color{black} $α$ between 0 to 1 is preferred depending upon our modelling choices. Current data can constrain $|α|\lesssim 2$ at a 68 percent confidence interval \color{black}. Such constraints have implications for our understanding of galaxy formation and can be used to inform galaxy and large scale simulations.

Elle habite toute l'Afrique tropicale. Je ne crois pas qu’on la trouve en Algérie ailleurs que sur les lacs de Constantine, mais sur le lac des Oiseaux, le lac Oubeira, le lac Tonga, elle vole en nombre immense, de lin juin à fin aout. Quand le chasseur s’approche du rivage, il est immédiatement entouré par une nuée de ces Libellules, voletant en essaim autour de lui, souvent à quelques centimètres du visage et du corps, si bien qu’un coup de tilet donné autour de soi, sans changer de place, en peut englober un certain nombre. Aucune espèce ne paraît si peu craintive ou si curieuse, puisqu’elle continue à planer près de l'homme, en dépit des coups de filet. Ces essaims sont composés de mâles et de femelles en nombre à peu près égal et semble qu'elles ne se posent presque jamais ni il terre ni sur les jones.

description: Background The association of frailty based on the accumulation of deficits with postoperative delirium (POD) has been poorly examined. We aimed to analyze this association in older patients undergoing elective surgery. Methods Preoperative data was used to build a 30-item frailty index (FI) for participants of the PAWEL-study. Delirium was defined by a combination of I-CAM and chart review. Using logistic regressions models we analysed the association between frailty and POD adjusting for age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, education and type of surgery. Results Among 701 participants (mean age 77.1, 52.4% male) median FI was 0.27 (Q1 0.20| Q3 0.34), with 528 (75.3%) frail participants (FI ≥ 0.2). Higher median FI were seen in orthopedic than cardiac surgery patients (0.28 versus 0.23), and in women (0.28 versus 0.25 in men). Frail participants showed a higher POD incidence proportion (25.4% versus 17.9% in non-frail). An increased odds for POD was observed in frail versus non-frail participants (OR 2.14 [95% CI 1.33, 3.44], c-statistic 0.71). A 0.1 increment of FI was associated with OR 1.57 [95% CI 1.30, 1.90] (c-statistic 0.72) for POD. No interaction with sex or type of surgery was detected. Adding timed-up-and-go-test and handgrip strength to the FI did not improve discrimination. Conclusion Our data showed a significant association between frailty defined through a 30-item FI and POD among older adults undergoing elective surgery. Adding functional measures to the FI did not improve discrimination. Hence, our preoperative 30-item FI can help to identify patients with increased odds for POD. Trial registration PAWEL and PAWEL-R (sub-) study were registered on the German Clinical Trials Register (number DRKS00013311 and DRKS00012797).

description: We consider a theory in which a real scalar field is Yukawa-coupled to a fermion and has a potential with two non-degenerate vacua. If the coupling is sufficiently strong, a collection of N fermions deforms the true vacuum state, creating energetically-favored false-vacuum pockets in which fermions are trapped. We embed this model within General Relativity and prove that it admits self-gravitating compact objects where the scalar field acquires a non-trivial profile due to non-perturbative effects. We discuss some applications of this general mechanism: i) neutron soliton stars in low-energy effective QCD, which naturally happen to have masses around 2 solar masses and radii around 10 km even without neutron interactions; ii) Higgs false-vacuum pockets in and beyond the Standard Model; iii) dark soliton stars in models with a dark sector. In the latter two examples, we find compelling solutions naturally describing centimeter-size compact objects with masses around 10^-6 solar masses, intriguingly in a range compatible with the OGLE+HSC microlensing anomaly. Besides these interesting examples, the mechanism of non-perturbative vacuum scalarization may play a role in various contexts in and beyond the Standard Model, providing a support mechanism for new compact objects that can form in the early universe, can collapse into primordial black holes through accretion past their maximum mass, and serve as dark matter candidates.

We show that despite the non-unitarity, it is possible to provide a prescription for making unambiguous, though restricted, physical predictions independent of specific clocks. To illustrate this result, we employ a model of quantum gravitational waves in a quantum Friedmann universe.

description: This paper proposes a novel conceptual framework for understanding time as an inherently structured dimension shaped by temporal mass and temporal curvature, akin to the role of gravitational mass in shaping space. This framework introduces "temporal mass" as an abstract property associated with high-significance events, hypothesizing that certain future states act as attractors within a temporal landscape. By exploring analogies to gravitational fields and presenting theoretical experiments, we investigate how temporal mass might influence the unfolding of events, creating patterns of attraction, synchronization, and directional flow. This model offers potential explanations for unexplained phenomena on atomic and cosmic scales, such as quantum entanglement, wave function collapse, and large-scale cosmic patterns, suggesting that the behavior of events in time may be governed by a temporal structure that subtly influences the progression of reality without violating causality.

description: Η υστεροσκόπηση ξεκίνησε ως μια απλή διαγνωστική εξέταση της ενδομητρικής κοιλότητας και εξελίχθηκε σε πολύτιμο εργαλείο, που δίνει τη δυνατότητα της ταυτόχρονης διάγνωσης και θεραπείας της παθολογίας της ενδομητρικής κοιλότητας, ιδιαίτερα στο πεδίο της υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής. Με την παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εκπονείται μια συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας στα πιο συνήθη αίτια της παθολογίας της ενδομητρικής κοιλότητας, όπως οι ενδομητρικοί πολύποδες, η αδενομύωση, τα υποβλεννογόνια λειομυώματα, το διάφραγμα της μήτρας, οι ενδομητρικές συμφύσεις- το σύνδρομο Asherman και η χρόνια ενδομητρίτιδα, που συσχετίζονται με την υπογονιμότητα. Ο σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να μελετήσει την αποτελεσματικότητα της υστεροσκόπησης σε σχέση με τις άλλες διαθέσιμες τεχνικές στη διάγνωση και τη θεραπεία της ενδομητρικής παθολογίας και τη συσχέτισή της με την αποτελεσματικότητα των μεθόδων υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής. Παρόλο που η υστεροσκόπηση απαιτεί έμπειρο χειρουργό και παραμένει στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις μια επεμβατική διαδικασία, διαθέτει το μοναδικό πλεονέκτημα να συμβάλλει τόσο στη διάγνωση όσο και στη θεραπεία παθήσεων που προηγούνται ή έπονται των τεχνικών υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής. Η υστεροσκόπηση θα πρέπει να αποτελεί διαγνωστική μέθοδο πρώτης επιλογής σε πολλές περιπτώσεις γυναικείας υπογονιμότητας και να καθιερωθεί ως βασικό εργαλείο στη διάγνωση και αντιμετώπιση προβλημάτων που σχετίζονται με την υπογονιμότητα.
description: Hysteroscopy has evolved from the traditional art of examining the uterine cavity for diagnostic purposes to an invaluable modality to concomitantly diagnose and treat a multitude of intrauterine pathologies, especially in the field of assisted reproductive medicine. This MSc thesis reviews the literature on the most common cervical, endometrial and uterine pathologies, such as endometrial polyps, adenomyosis, submucous leiomyomas, uterine septum, intrauterine adhesions- Asherman syndrome and chronic endometritis. The aim is to determine the efficiency of hysteroscopy compared with other available techniques as a diagnostic and treatment tool and its association with the success of in vitro fertilization procedures. Although hysteroscopy requires an experienced operator for optimal results and is still an invasive procedure, it has the unique advantage of combining great diagnostic and treatment opportunities before and after ART procedures. In conclusion, hysteroscopy should be recommended as a first-line procedure in most cases with female infertility, and a special effort should be made for its implementation in the development of new high-tech procedures for identification and treatment of infertility-associated conditions.

description: Gaze interaction presents a promising avenue in Virtual Reality (VR) due to its intuitive and efficient user experience. Yet, the depth control inherent in our visual system remains underutilized in current methods. In this study, we introduce FocusFlow, a hands-free interaction method that capitalizes on human visual depth perception within the 3D scenes of Virtual Reality. We first develop a binocular visual depth detection algorithm to understand eye input characteristics. We then propose a layer-based user interface and introduce the concept of 'Virtual Window' that offers an intuitive and robust gaze-depth VR interaction, despite the constraints of visual depth accuracy and precision spatially at further distances. Finally, to help novice users actively manipulate their visual depth, we propose two learning strategies that use different visual cues to help users master visual depth control. Our user studies on 24 participants demonstrate the usability of our proposed virtual window concept as a gaze-depth interaction method. In addition, our findings reveal that the user experience can be enhanced through an effective learning process with adaptive visual cues, helping users to develop muscle memory for this brand-new input mechanism. We conclude the paper by discussing strategies to optimize learning and potential research topics of gaze-depth interaction.

description: Purpose The aim of this examination was to assess whether there is a change of acetabular correction after triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) and if so, whether there is a correlation with patient-specific risk factors or with certain periods in the postoperative course. Methods A consecutive series of 241 TPO was reviewed retrospectively. The close-meshed radiographic follow-up of the first 12 weeks comprised pelvic radiographs performed immediately after the procedure, 5 days, 6 and 12 weeks after TPO. Three observers measured the lateral center edge angle, acetabular index and the craniocaudal offset of the pubic osteotomy. Patient-specific risk factors (e. g. age, gender, body mass index, nicotine abuse) and certain periods in the postoperative course were correlated with a change of acetabular correction. Results After application of the exclusion criteria, 225 hips were available for further examination. Intraclass correlation coefficient resulted in predominantly excellent agreement between the measurements of the three observers (0.74–0.91). In 27 cases (12%), the three observers agreed on a change of acetabular correction. In 18 cases (8%), there was a slight change, in 9 cases (4%), a relevant change. The latter entailed consequences in the postoperative aftercare. General equation estimation did not show any correlation between a change of acetabular correction and patient-specific risk factors or certain periods in the postoperative course (p = 0.79–0.99). Conclusion Every once treated hip should be followed-up with the same attention, irrespective of the apparent risk profile. There is no rationale to skip a radiographic follow-up in the first 12 weeks after TPO.

description: We geometrically derive the explicit form of the Unitary representation of the Poincare group and use it to apply speed-of-light boosts to simple polarization basis to end up with Hawton-Baylis photon position operator with commuting components. We give explicit formulas for other photon boost eigenmodes. We investigate the underlying affine connections on the light cone in momentum space and find that while Pryce connection is metric semi-symmetric, the flat Hawton-Baylis connection is not semi-symmetric. Finally we discuss localizability of photon states localized on closed loops and show that photon states on the circle, both unnormalized improper states and finite norm wave packet smeared over washer-like regions are strictly localized with respect to Hawton-Baylis operators with commuting components and also with respect to the noncommutative Jauch-Piron-Amrein POV measure.

description: Different channels of nonverbal behavior can serve important functions in live music performances. In this paper, we look at cross-channel nonverbal behavior in a Chinese freestyle rap battle, investigating what categories of nonverbal behavior are used and what functions these behaviors serve. Using the theoretical frameworks of dyadic power theory and the coordination of verbal and nonverbal behaviors, we analyzed four video clips of two Chinese rappers in a freestyle rap battle. We found that nonverbal behaviors were crucial to helping them articulate the verbal content of their raps, displaying power and exerting dominance. Theoretical implications were discussed.
