description: Background. Loneliness is a risk factor for late-life dementia. There is less consistent evidence of its association with cognitive performance. This study examined the replicability of the association between loneliness and overall and domain-specific cognitive function and informant-rated cognitive decline in cohorts from seven countries: the United States, England, India, China, South Africa, Mexico, and Chile. Methods. Data were from the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol administered in seven population-based studies (total N > 20,000). Participants reported their loneliness, completed a battery of cognitive tests, and nominated a knowledgeable informant to rate their cognitive decline. Random-effect meta-analyses were used to summarize the associations from each cohort. Results. Loneliness was associated with poor overall cognitive performance and informant-rated cognitive decline controlling for sociodemographic factors (meta-analytic correlation for overall cognition = .10 [95% CI = .13, .06] and informant-rated decline = .16 [95% CI = .14, .17]). Despite some heterogeneity, the associations were significant across samples from Africa, Asia, Europe, North, Central, and South America. The meta-analysis also indicated an association with specific cognitive domains: episodic memory, speed-attention, visuospatial abilities, numeric reasoning, and verbal fluency. The associations were attenuated but persisted when depressive symptoms were added as a covariate. Depression, cognitive impairment, and socio-demographic factors did not consistently moderate the associations across samples. Conclusions. Loneliness is associated with poor performance across multiple domains of cognition and observer-rated cognitive decline, associations that replicated across diverse world regions and cultures.

description: Understanding convective processes leading to severe weather hazards within Mediterranean cyclones is relevant for operational forecasters, insurance industry, and enhancing societal preparedness. In this work we examine the climatological link between Mediterranean cyclones and atmospheric conditions conducive to the formation of severe convection and convective hazards (convective precipitation, lightning and hail potential). Using ATDnet lightning detections we f ind that, from autumn to spring, 20 to 60% of lightning hours over the Mediterranean basin and adjacent land regions are associated with the presence of a nearby cyclone. Based on reanalysis data, severe convective environments, deep, moist convection (i.e., lightning potential) and related hazards are frequent in the warm sector of Mediterranean cyclones and to the north-east of their centres. In agreement with previous literature, convective processes and hazards peak approximately six hours prior to the time of minimum pressure of the cyclone centre. Moreover, severe convective environments are often detected in cyclone categories typical of transition seasons (especially autumn) and summer, while they are rarer in deep baroclinic cyclones with peak occurrence during winter. Finally, we show that dynamical cyclone features distinguish regions favourable to deep, moist convection. Warm conveyor belts of Mediterranean cyclones, characterised by large-scale ascent and located in regions of high thermodynamic instability, have the largest lightning potential. The potential is only half as intense along the cyclones’ cold fronts.

description: Enhancing the capability to control a tremendous range of physical actuators and sensors, combined with wireless technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), apparel technologies play a significant role in supporting safe, comfortable and healthy living, observing each customer’s conditions. Since apparel technologies have advanced to enable humans to work as a team with the clothing they wear, the interaction between a human and apparel is further enhanced with the introduction of sensors, wireless network, and artificially intelligent techniques. A variety of wearable technologies have been developed and spread to meet the needs of customers, however, some wearable devices are considered as non-practical tech-oriented, not consumer-oriented.The purpose of this research is to develop an apparel system which integrates intelligent autonomous agents, human-based sensors, wireless network protocol, mobile application management system and a zipper robot. This research is an augmentation to the existing research and literature, which are limited to the zipping and unzipping process without much built in intelligence. This research is to face the challenges of the elderly and people with self-care difficulties. The intent is to provide a scientific path for intelligent zipper robot systems with potential, not only to help people, but also to be commercialized.The research develops an intelligent system to control of zippers fixed on garments, based on the profile and desire of the human. The theoretical and practical elements of developing small, integrated, intelligent zipper robots that interact with an application by using a lightweight MQTT protocol for application in the daily lives of diverse populations of people with physical challenges. The system functions as intelligent automatized garment to ensure users could positively utilize a zipper robot device to assist in putting on garments which also makes them feel comfortable wearing and interacting with the system. This research is an approach towards the “future of fashion”, and the goal is to incentivize and inspire others to develop new instances of wearable robots and sensors that help people with specific needs to live a better life.

Subjects: Special education and disability

description: Students who have disabilities often face many difficulties throughout their lives and are not always given the same opportunities to learn important daily living skills as their peers. Most research in this area does not account for the need to teach daily living skills to students with mild disabilities, and instead is focused on teaching these skills to students with severe disabilities. In this study, the methods for teaching daily living skills are examined and skills that should be taught to middle school students with mild disabilities are discovered. Key findings from this study indicate that there are many daily living skills that are not being taught to students with mild disabilities, teachers do not often have the time to teach these skills, and there is a lack of resources for teaching daily living skills to middle school students with mild disabilities. The handbook created from this study aims to fill part of the gap by sharing suitable methods for teaching daily living skills and providing a checklist of daily living skills to teach to the students.

CHARACTERIZING BILLBUG (SPHENOPHORUS SPP.) SEASONAL BIOLOGY USING DNA BARCODES AND A SIMPLE MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Rodriguez-Soto, Marian M
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Horticultural crop protection (incl. pests, diseases and weeds)

description: Insect species complexes challenge entomologists in a variety of ways ranging from quarantine protection to pest management. Billbugs (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Sphenophorus spp. Schönherr) represent one such species complex that has been problematic from a pest management perspective. These grass-feeding weevils reduce the aesthetic and functional qualities of turfgrass. Sixty-four species of billbugs are native to North America, and at least ten are associated with damage to turfgrass. Billbug species are sympatric in distribution and their species composition and seasonal biology varies regionally. Since their management relies heavily on proper choice of insecticide active ingredients and timing of insecticide applications that target specific life stages, understanding billbug seasonal biology underpins the development of efficient management programs. However, billbug seasonal biology investigations are currently hindered by our inability to identify the damaging larval stage to species level. DNA barcoding, which involves the use of short DNA sequences that are unique for each species, represents one potential tool that can aid these efforts. By combining DNA-based species identification with morphometric measures capable of serving as a proxy of larval development, it may be possible to gain a more holistic understanding of billbug seasonal biology. In this study, we developed a DNA barcoding reference library using cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences from morphologically identified adult billbugs collected across Indiana, Missouri, Arizona, and Utah. Next, we applied our reference library for comparison and identification of unknown larval specimens collected across the growing season in Utah and Indiana. We then used a combination of DNA barcoding and larval head capsule diameters acquired from samples collected across a short span of the growing season to produce larval phenology maps. Adult billbug COI sequences varied within species, but the variation was not shaped by geography, indicating that this locus itself could resolve larval species identity. Overlaid with head capsule diameter data from specimens collected across the growing season, a better understanding of billbug species composition and seasonal biology emerged. This knowledge will provide researchers with the tools necessary to fill critical gaps in our understanding of billbug biology thereby improving turfgrass pest management. Using this approach researchers will be able to support efforts to provide growers with the information necessary to develop more prescriptive, location-based management programs and reduce the ecological footprint of turfgrass pest management.

description: L'objectif est de disposer d'estimateurs d'abondance des ressources comparables entre les différentes zones, la standardisation des méthodes d'observation permettant la reproduction, dans des conditions analogues, d'indices d'abondance des différentes espèces au fil du temps. Des protocoles standardisés d'observation portant notamment sur la localisation des stations d'échantillonnage, les caractéristiques et modalités d'utilisation de l'engin de capture, les observations biologiques, les formats de fichiers informatiques, ont ainsi été définis en commun entre les différents pays partenaires et sont appliqués par toutes les équipes participant au programme MEDITS.Ainsi cinq strates de profondeur ont été définies pour tous les secteurs : 10-50 m, 50-100 m, 100-200 m, 200-500 m et 500-800 m. Le principe de base est celui d'une répartition des stations proportionnellement à la surface des strates, avec tirage aléatoire des stations dans chaque strate. Les observations biologiques sont réalisées selon le protocole décrit dans la dernière version de "Instruction manual MEDITS" (version 9, 2017). L'ensemble des espèces collectées dont le benthos sont triées, pesées et dénombrées.
Pour 84 espèces, des mensurations sont réalisées en plus et sur 41 de ces espèces (32 sélaciens, 5 poissons osseux, 4 crustacés, 2 céphalopodes) sont collectés tous les paramètres individuels (poids, sexe, maturité, taille, otolithes pour les deux rougets et le merlu et illicii pour les deux baudroies) et les contenus stomacaux de merlu. Les partenaires incluent dans le programme le recueil systématique d'indicateurs de base sur les conditions d'environnement (température/profondeur). Les campagnes sont organisées en priorité pour réaliser les relevés prévus au présent programme (toute demande supplémentaire d'échantillons doit être adressée au chef de mission et faire l'objet d'une entente préalable). Toutefois, les partenaires se réservent la possibilité de valoriser le temps de présence en mer des navires par le recueil d'informations (climatologie, environnement, autres paramètres biologiques requis par la DCF, macro-déchets anthropiques, etc.).La campagne MEDITS française uniquement a intégré en 2015, des protocoles d'échantillonnages de la Directive Cadre Stratégie pour le Milieu Marin (DCSMM), dans la limite de faisabilité et en veillant au respect de la collecte des données de base requises pour la campagne MEDITS d'origine. Ces collectes concernent principalement des prélèvements d'échantillons dont les analyses portent sur les macro-déchets marins et gélatineux. Par ailleurs des informations hydrologiques sont également collectées à savoir par l'usage de la Pocket Ferry Box (PFB) ; Fluorescence / turbidité / oxygène/ Température / Salinité / pH / Matière organique dissoute et colorée (CDOM) et 4 groupes spectraux avec l'Analyseur Algual de la PFB.

description: This research aims to explore the potential impacts of various natural compounds, including curcumin, garlic extract, vitamin C, acemannan, carvacrol, and vitamin D3, when released from calcium phosphate-based materials, on both laboratory and real-life biological functions relevant to bone tissue engineering. It suggests employing a localized drug delivery approach using calcium phosphates (CaPs) for bone defects resulting from injury or tumor removal due to their ability to promote bone growth and integration. Specifically, three-dimensional printed (3DP) tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is tailored for customizable implants in areas with low mechanical stress, while plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coated Ti6Al4V (Ti64) is suited for load-bearing implant applications. These implant systems are enriched with natural medicinal compounds and magnesium oxide (MgO) to enhance their biological and mechanical properties. Acemannan-loaded 3DP TCP scaffolds notably enhance in vitro bone formation, inhibit bone-degrading cell activity, and exhibit potential for preventing cancer. Acemannan promotes the expression of genes associated with bone formation for 16 days, leading to the differentiation of bone-forming cells while simultaneously suppressing the differentiation of bone-degrading cells. Incorporating acemannan into CaP matrices enhances bone formation in rabbit femur defects. Furthermore, acemannan-functionalized implants exhibit bone-forming, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial properties in laboratory settings. The biological effects of curcumin are enhanced when combined with vitamin C, showing synergistic bone regeneration in a rat femur defect model. Vitamin C demonstrates bone-forming properties in laboratory conditions by promoting genes involved in bone formation while suppressing the expression of a bone-degrading factor. When acemannan is combined with MgO-doped TCP scaffolds, the resulting functionalized scaffolds improve the proliferation of bone-forming cells in laboratory tests. Moreover, the release of acemannan from these scaffolds reduces the viability of bone-degrading cells over time and enhances new bone formation and blood vessel growth in a rat model. Including garlic extract also enhances the viability of bone-forming cells in laboratory settings. Garlic extract and carvacrol release from these scaffolds inhibit the differentiation of bone-degrading cells by reducing the expression of a key factor involved in their formation. These findings suggest that calcium phosphate-based substrates loaded with natural medicinal compounds have the potential to promote bone healing while also exhibiting anti-cancer and antimicrobial properties, thus making them promising candidates for functionalized implants.

In particular, we study two classes of $k$-inflation models with the potential characterized by an inflection point. We demonstrate that these models enjoy scaling properties that could be used to redefine input parameters so that the perturbation spectra satisfy correct normalization at the CMB pivot scale. The background and perturbation equations are integrated numerically for two specific models.

description: A great deal of the research on cross-linguistic phonetic influence demonstrates that a speaker’s knowledge of their first language (L1) significantly affects their ability to perceive and produce sounds in any other language. While current studies show that cross-linguistic transfer occurs at the L3 level, some research suggests that properties of both L1 and L2 are present in the production of L3 (Ionin, Montrul & Santos, 2011). Many studies have addressed perception, production and factors that influence foreign speech in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) (Watkins, Rauber & Baptista, 2009). As the number of multilingual individuals rises, so does the need for studies that investigate not only SLA but also that of additional languages (i.e., Third Language Acquisition). This dissertation examines how cross-linguistic influence (CLI) occurs among English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese (BP), examining instances of vowel reduction, an aspect of phonological production. English and BP are assumed as vowel reducing languages, whereas Spanish displays negligible vowel reduction in comparison. The vowel productions in L3 BP of two multilingual groups, L1English-L2Spanish-L3BP (ESP) and L1 Spanish-L2 English-BP (SEP) were investigated in two tasks: a paragraph reading task (PRT) and a carrier phrase task (CPT). The study sought to determine whether i) a native speaker of a vowel reducing L1 and a non-vowel reducing L2 displays more or less vowel reduction in a vowel reducing L3 than a native speaker of a non-vowel reducing L1 and vowel reducing L2 and ii) how length of exposure to an L3 affects phonological production. Three fixed effects were considered: duration ratio, intensity ratio and height (F1). The goal was to ascertain whether the Typological Primacy Model (TPM) (Rothman 2011, 2015) or the L2 Status Factor Model (Bardel & Falk 2007, 2012; Hammarberg, 2001) would be a better predictor for how vowel reduction would occur in the L3. Results for duration ratio and vowel height showed no significant difference between groups ESP and SEP. Results for intensity ratio suggest L2 Status as a better predictor, as group SEP displayed more phonological transfer than the ESP group. A hybrid approach to L3 acquisition models is proposed.

description: Abstract:This article investigates how twentieth-century U.S. corporations, nonprofit safety experts, and engineers came together to control the risks of home laundry equipment. Professionals worked with citizen-consumers to form a “voluntary safety system” intended to prevent injuries using education, markets for “safe” appliances, and consumer product testing. This system catered to informed middle-class families and relied on the principles of personal responsibility and free enterprise. Although home safety measures decreased fatal accidents, they disproportionately added to the workloads of contemporary homemakers and reinforced existing gender and class inequities. These inequities, this article argues, set the stage for later government intervention, offering new insights into the intersections between consumer technology, domestic labor, and regulation. Repositioning the history of safety from workplaces and transportation networks to the home, this article shows how injury prevention influenced how Americans shopped for and used potentially dangerous laundry machines.Citation: Parry, Alexander I. “Making Homemakers Responsible for Safety: Housework, Laundry Equipment, and the Unequal Burdens of Accident Prevention, c. 1910–80.” Technology and Culture 66, no. 2 (2025): 411-447.

description: Bio-oil emerges as a potent green energy to halt planet warming. However, its direct utilization as a biofuel is impeded by substantial challenges resulting from its complex composition, leading to undesirable properties. This research delves into elucidating and proposing structures of the unknown sugar oligomers in bio-oil by integrating experimental and modeling approaches. Additionally, it aims to upgrade the heavy bio-oil fractions, containing both sugar and lignin oligomers, and investigate the mechanism of oxygen removal during hydrotreatment.
description: Experimental techniques and computational modeling were employed to achieve these goals. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study the dehydration and fragmentation reactions to propose structures of the unknown oligomeric sugars and investigate their reaction mechanisms during upgrading. Chromatographic techniques were applied to fractionate sugar compounds in bio-oil, followed by comprehensive characterization to identify their specific components. Bio-oil upgrading was conducted by co-hydrotreating the heavy bio-oil fractions with waste cooking oil in a batch-type reactor under defined operating conditions.
description: The results put forward potential structures for the unidentified sugar oligomers. DFT results showed that water, hydroxyacetaldehyde, and hydroxyacetone are most favorably formed from the non-reducing end of the sugar oligomers. These modeling yields were integrated with the experimental data acquired from chromatographic techniques to gain a deeper understanding of the oligomers. Moreover, the upgrading study showed that the heavy bio-oil, containing both sugar and lignin oligomers, is viable. The behavior of the hydrotreated heavy bio-oil demonstrated comparable coke yields to those obtained when solely using a pyrolytic fraction. An in-depth understanding of the structure of the unknown compounds and their behavior during hydrotreatment will contribute toward the development and advancement of biomass pyrolysis techniques and product upgrading strategies.

description: With the growing demand of air traffic, it becomes more important and critical than ever to develop advanced techniques to control and monitor air traffic in terms of safety and efficiency. Especially, trajectory prediction can play a significant role on the improvement of the safety and efficiency because predicted trajectory information is used for air traffic management such as conflict detection and resolution, sequencing and scheduling. In this work, we propose a new framework by integratingthe two methods, called hybrid data-driven and physics-based trajectory prediction. The proposed algorithm is applied to real air traffic surveillance data to demonstrate its performance.
A380 Aluminum Hot Chamber Die Casting

Subjects: Metals and alloy materials

description: A hot chamber die casting machine designed for zinc was donated to Purdue University. This machine was slated for retrofit of components necessary for aluminum hot chamber die casting. Existing components designed for zinc, mainly H-13 and cast iron, do not have the necessary service life to economically produce castings due to chemical attack on machine components from molten aluminum. Multiple systems were redesigned, including the pot, plunger, gooseneck, furnace, and cooling lines. All components were upgraded to allow for the higher service temperatures needed for molten aluminum, along with a niobium gooseneck and anviloy nozzle to resist chemical attack of injection components. Once design and retrofitting were complete aluminum alloy A380 was used in conjunction with a niobium gooseneck design to create tensile bars. These tensile bars were subsequently tested and mechanical properties evaluated.
AN ANNOTATED TRANSLATION OF CHAPTERS 21-30 OF THE LATE MING DYNASTY NOVEL, XINGSHI YINYUAN ZHUAN 醒世姻缘傳 (MARRIAGE DESTINIES TO AWAKEN THE WORLD)

Subjects: Literary studies not elsewhere classified

description: Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan 醒世姻緣傳 is a vernacular Chinese novel which was composed in late Ming or early Qing dynasty by an anonymous author in what is now modern Shandong province. Like most of the counterparts to this novel during the same era, Xingshi was composed not as an “art for art’s sake”, but as a vehicle for moral edification and education; it discusses many pressing social issues existing at a time of social turmoil, such as government corruption, moral depravity, migration of peasants due to natural disaster and agricultural involution, roving bandits, the subversion of the gender roles, etc. The novel discussed the social issues through the lives and activities of the residents of an ordinary Shandong town named Mingshui, a microminiature of Qing dynasty China, and presents the golden era of Mingshui which is a microminiature of an idealized Chinese society. This dissertation is a study on the Utopian chapters of this novel with the texts translated into English language with annotations; these chapters are both a continuation of Chinese Utopian literature tradition, as well as the embodiment of the author’s unique understanding of various philosophical and religious schools.Up until now, due to limited resources and texts, little is known about the life and thoughts of the author of Xinshi and the study on the Utopian chapters will shed light on further explorations of the identity and political philosophy of this author.

description: Abstract

Introduction: The waterfronts revival started more than forty years ago while they turned into intensive pivots of cultural and social activities. The existing public spaces are not successful enough for their inhabitants due to lack of utilization and poor improvement. The purpose of the study highlights the urgent need for these waterfront public spaces as they exemplify significant social and cultural values. The research aims to explore the relationship between the city and the waterfront through the waterfront public spaces and reconnoiter their viability in creating sustainable pleasant spaces that integrate with public and urban activities. The research proposes a connective vision between the city and its waterfront, which creates a new image for revitalization of Egypt’s waterfronts. This research proposes a framework for urban revitalization of waterfront public spaces through design process and its elements. This framework identifies the design guidelines for inclusive public spaces on the Egyptian waterfronts. The following methods were used in the theoretical part as conducting various literature reviews about urban waterfronts public spaces. Then, the research explores their characteristics through analyzing international waterfront public spaces in different countries. Meanwhile, the empirical part comprises of analyzing and evaluating different case studies which will focus on the waterfronts of Egypt that utilize a contextual analysis technique in view of a qualitative research through archival research, site survey, observation, and interviews. The research proposes a framework for assessing public open spaces multifunctional design on the waterfronts in Egypt.
