description: Using the asymptotic iteration method (AIM), we have obtained analytical approximations to the $\ell$-wave solutions of the Schrödinger equation with the Manning-Rosen potential. The equation of energy eigenvalues equation and the corresponding wavefunctions have been obtained explicitly. Three different Pekeris-type approximation schemes have been used to deal with the centrifugal term. To show the accuracy of our results, we have calculated the eigenvalues numerically for arbitrary quantum numbers $n$ and $\ell$ for some diatomic molecules (HCl, CH, LiH and CO). It is found that the results are in good agreement with other results found in the literature. A straightforward extension to the s-wave case and Hulth$\acute{e}$n potential case are also presented.

Prediction of moisture diffusion and failure in glass/steel adhesive joints

Year: 2023
Subjects: Engineering

description: Glass/steel adhesive joints are being used increasingly in the construction industry as they offer significant structural advantages over conventional mechanical fastener approaches. However, adhesive joints are also known to be sensitive to moisture diffusion into the bondline, which reduces the interfacial bonding strength for hybrid glass/steel substrates. The effect of moisture on the performance degradation of glass/steel adhesive joints has been successfully predicted assuming adhesive property degradation but requires experimental determination of the affected moisture ingress zone. This study utilizes a multi-physics numerical approach implemented via the commercial finite element code Abaqus 2020, which firstly simulates moisture ingress into the adhesive/glass interface and subsequently couples the diffusion effects with a cohesive zone modelling approach for damage initiation and propagation. The numerical predictions are calibrated against experimental data on glass/steel Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimens, which are bonded with a ductile methacrylate adhesive (Araldite 2047–1). The modelling approach is then validated against the experimental response of large double lap shear joints of a significantly different bondline geometry. It is demonstrated that the numerical model successfully predicts the critical exposure time for partial to complete joint degradation enabling the development of engineering guidelines for life-time prediction of various joint geometries.
Why the nightmares? Repeating nightmares among intimate partner violence survivors
Creators: name: Wagener, Alwin E.
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2019

description: Repeating nightmares are a common phenomenon experienced by survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). Based on neuroscience and cognitive research, a new model for nightmare generation was created, the AMPHAC/AND neurocognitive model, that suggests nightmares involve an internal fear-memory extinction process facilitating recovery from trauma. The model further identifies repeating nightmares as an impairment of the psychological healing process because they prevent the generation of fear-extinction memories. The two types of repeating nightmares (those that recreate the trauma [i.e., replicative nightmares] and those that repeat but are not recreations of trauma [i.e., recurrent nightmares]) were evaluated to determine if they are significantly related to PTSD symptom severity and nightmare distress, which is implicated by the model in impairing novel, fear-extinction memory generating nightmares. 78 participants were recruited and provided responses to questions evaluating the frequency of repeating nightmares, PTSD symptom severity, nightmare distress, and their experiences of IPV. Analyses of these responses generated the findings that both types of repeating nightmares are significantly correlated with PTSD symptom severity and nightmare distress, and there is a significant negative correlation between the length of time since the last repeating nightmare and PTSD symptom severity.

Long-Term Dynamics Of High Mass Ratio Multiples
Creators: name: Li, Gongjie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: This thesis presents a series of studies on the dynamics of high mass ratio multiples, with applications to planetary systems orbiting stars and stellar systems orbiting supermassive black holes (SMBHs).

Almost two thousand exoplanetary systems have recently been discovered, and their configurations gave rise to new puzzles related to planetary formation theories. We studied the dynamics of planetary systems aiming to understand how the configuration of planetary system is sculptured and to probe the origin of planetary systems. First, we discussed hierarchical three-body dynamics, which can be applied to planets that are orbiting a star while perturbed by a planet or a star that is farther away. The perturbation from the farther object can flip the planetary orbits and produce counter orbiting hot Jupiters, which cannot be formed in the framework of classical planetary formation theory. In addition, we have studied the stellar encounters with planetary systems in star clusters, which produce eccentric and inclined planets. Moreover, we investigated the obliquity variation of the Earth, and the developed formalism can be applied to exoplanetary systems. We note that the obliquity variation is important to the habitability of the exoplanets.

Long term dynamics is also central to understanding stellar systems orbiting SMBHs. SMBHs are common in the centers of galaxies and lead to rich dynamical interactions with nearby stars. At the same time, dynamical features of nearby stars reveal important properties of SMBHs. The aforementioned hierarchical three-body dynamics can be applied to stars near SMBH binaries, which are natural consequences of galaxy mergers. We found that the distribution of stars surrounding one of the SMBHs results in the shape of a torus due to the perturbation from the other SMBH, and the dynamical interactions contribute to an enhancement of tidal disruption rates, which can help identify the SMBH binaries. In addition, we investigated the heating of stars near SMBHs, where the heating of stars due to gravitational waves as the SMBHs merge may mark the merger, and provide an electromagnetic counterpart for gravitational wave detection. Moreover, the accumulated tidal heating of stars may cause the stars to be more vulnerable for tidal disruptions, as the stars orbit around a SMBH in an eccentric orbit.

description: The Jeans analysis is often used to infer the total density of a system by relating the velocity moments of an observable tracer population to the underlying gravitational potential. This technique has recently been applied in the search for Dark Matter in objects such as dwarf spheroidal galaxies where the presence of Dark Matter is inferred via stellar velocities. A precise account of the density is needed to constrain the expected gamma ray flux from DM self-annihilation and to distinguish between cold and warm dark matter models. Unfortunately the traditional method of fitting the second order Jeans equation to the tracer dispersion suffers from an unbreakable degeneracy of solutions due to the unknown velocity anisotropy of the projected system. To tackle this degeneracy one can appeal to higher moments of the Jeans equation. By introducing an analog to the Binney anisotropy parameter at fourth order, beta' we create a framework that encompasses all solutions to the fourth order Jeans equations rather than those in the literature that impose unnecessary correlations between anisotropy of second and fourth order moments. The condition beta' = f(beta) ensures that the degeneracy is lifted and we interpret the separable augmented density system as the order-independent case beta'= beta. For a generic choice of beta' we present the line of sight projection of the fourth moment and how it could be incorporated into a joint likelihood analysis of the dispersion and kurtosis. Having presented the mathematical framework, we then use it to develop a statistical method for the purpose of placing constraints on dark matter density parameters from discrete velocity data. The method is tested on simulated dwarf spheroidal data sets leading to results which motivate study of real dwarf spheroidal data sets.

description: The Einstein's research ideas on the thermodynamical fluctuational nature of certain electrical phenomena [1] and the physical nature of the electric potentials difference U in an electric capacitor at the temperature of T [2] were proposed in 1906-1907. On the base of Einstein's research ideas, we explain the recent experimental results [3, 4] and propose the consistent theory on the physical nature of the electric effects in an electric capacitor at an action of the second sound standing wave in the superfluid Helium (4He) and in the rotational torsional mechanical resonator in Helium II. The use of the Einstein's research approach, based on the consideration of an interconnection between the thermal, mechanical and electrical fluctuations, allows us to obtain the quantitative theoretical research results, which are in a good agreement with the experimental data on the correlations of the alternate low temperatures difference in the second sound wave, and the alternate electric potentials difference between the capacitor plates in the superfluid Helium as well as in the rotational torsional mechanical resonator in Helium II.

description: We propose relative entropy-based quantifiers for genuine multipartite total, quantum, and classical correlations. These correlation measures are applied to investigate the generation of genuine multiparticle correlations in decoherent dynamics induced by the interaction of two qubits with local- independent environments. We consider amplitude- and phase-damping channels and compare their capabilities to spread information through the creation of many-body correlations. We identify changes in behavior for the genuine four- and three-partite total correlations and show that, contrary to amplitude environments, phase-noise channels transform the bipartite correlation initially shared between the qubits into genuine multiparticle system-environment correlations.

description: The future asymptotic behaviour of a non-titled Bianchi Type IV viscous fluid model is analyzed. In particular, we consider the case of a viscous fluid without heat conduction, and constant expansion-normalized bulk and shear viscosity coefficients. We show using dynamical systems theory that the only future attracting equilibrium points are the flat Friedmann-LeMaitre (FL) solution, the open FL solution and the isotropic Milne universe solution. We also show the bifurcations exist with respect to an increasing expansion-normalized bulk viscosity coefficient. It is finally shown through an extensive numerical analysis, that the dynamical system isotropizes at late times.

description: Most Hawaiian monk seals reside in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) where population abundance is declining. A small and growing number also occur in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), and rare sightings have been documented at Johnston Atoll, south of the Hawaiian Archipelago. Until recently, it was thought that there was essentially no movement of seals between the NWHI and MHI. Here, we present a new analysis of movements throughout the species range based on sightings of tagged seals over a 30 - yea r period. The proportion of seals observed away from their natal sites varied with location but increased until adulthood, when 14% of seals were at non - natal sites. Females at non - natal sites accounted for 10% of all births. No sex differences were found . Annual movements declined rapidly with distance, with very little interchange between locations separated by over 400 km. The highest movement was observed among the relatively closely grouped MHI. In general, the likelihood of seals moving between sites in any given year increased with age class. While relatively rarely observed , at least 10 seals made 14 trips between the NWHI, the MHI, and Johnston Atoll. Due to incomplete and uneven sampling, actual movement probabilities were not estimated. However, the observed age- and distance-related movement patterns, along with confirmation that monk seals freely disperse throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago, will help inform measures to manage and conserve this critically endangered species.

description: In this document, we present the basic formulations and parameterization of the Guam Atlantis Coral Reef Ecosystem Model (Guam Atlantis). We describe the spatial delineation of the model extent, the aggregations of species into functional groups, and the data processes and sources used for all biological parameterizations. Additionally, we describe the physical forcing files that are used in the model, and briefly mention the fishery characteristics of Guam. We intend to apply the model to explore ecological and socioeconomic trade-offs of the identified alternative management scenarios once the model is fully developed. At this stage we have initialized the model to represent the present day (2011) ecosystem status of Guam's reefs, to (1) simulate the expected shift to a quasi-equilibrium state of a reef system assuming an absence of human stressors or natural disturbances; and (2) examine the modeled response to a range of fishing mortalities.

description: Archäobotanische und archäozoologische Untersuchungen von organischem Füllmaterial einer Wandnische im ehemaligen Kuchenbereich des Schlosses zu Jever, Lkr. Friesland, belegen eine Vielzahl von Arten, die im Zusammenhang mit der Nahrungszubereitung und Abfallentsorgung stehen. Das Material datiert sehr wahrscheinlich in das 17. Jh. (um 1640–1645). Die Verknüpfung von erhaltenen Kuchenrechnungen aus dem Jahr 1706 mit den botanischen und zoologischen Funden lassen eine Nutzung der Nische bis in das beginnende 18. Jh. moglich erscheinen. Die Küchenabfälle lockten weitere Verwerter wie Mäuse und Insekten an, deren Reste (Knochen, Koprolithen, Nagespuren, Körperteile) einen hohen Anteil des Materials stellen. Es wurden rund 100 Pflanzenarten, drei (bis vier) Säugetierarten, mindestens zwölf Vogelarten und sechs Fischarten nachgewiesen. Die Fundsituation lasst vermuten, dass alle belegten Tierarten auf dem Speiseplan standen. Ihre Reste werden als Schlacht- und Speiseabfälle interpretiert. Somit stellt sich folgende Situation dar: In das poröse Mauerwerk wurde eine Wandnische (Wandnischen?) eingebracht, sicherlich mit einer Holzverschalung. Wenn die fürstliche Hofhaltung das Schloss wieder für längere Zeit verließ, nutzte man diese Nische für die Abfallbeseitigung. Wahrend der längeren Phasen des Leerstandes verendeten vielleicht einige Mäuse oder auch Wildvogel in der Nische bzw. in den Räumen. Es sammelte sich darüber hinaus einiges an Dreck und Staub an, der vor der erneuten „Inbetriebnahme“ ebenfalls entsorgt werden musste – damit wurden regelrecht die Locher gestopft, die dann bei den verschiedenen Sanierungsarbeiten ab 1736 bzw. vor 1842 zugemauert wurden. Sicherlich lohnt es sich, bei künftigen Restaurierungsmaßnahmen im Schloss ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Mauern mit ihrer interessanten Geschichte zu legen.

description: The GEISA (Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosph∂eriques; Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information database) has been updated in 2003/2004.
The performances of new atmospheric sounders like AIRS (Advanced InfraRed Sounder), in the USA, and IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer) in Europe , which have a better vertical resolution and accuracy, compared to the presently existing satellite infrared vertical sounders, is directly related to the quality of the spectroscopic parameters of the optically active gases. For these instruments, the so-called GEISA /IASI spectroscopic sub-database has been elaborated from the general GEISA spectroscopic database system, with a continuous update from new spectroscopic parameters, when available. The specific purpose of this effort is to assess the capability of measurement by the IASI instrument, within the designated goals of ISSWG (IASI Sounding Science Working Group), in the frame of the CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, France) /EUMETSAT (EUropean organization for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites) European Polar System (EPS) preparation. The assessment will be done by simulating either high-resolution radiance spectra or experimental data, or both, as the situation demands.
The purpose of this presentation is to show some selected results of critical com- parisons, in terms of spectroscopic line parameter archives (i.e.: HITRAN or MIPAS databases). All the archived spectroscopic data of GEISA and GEISA/IASI can be handled through a user-friendly associated management software, which is posted on the ARA/LMD group web site at: http://ara.lmd.polytechnique.fr

Recently a task group entitled \A database of water transitions from experiment and theory" has been formed under the auspices of IUPAC to address issues related to the spectroscopy of water not just at cool, atmospheric temperatures, but also at the high temperatures required by many other terrestrial and astronomic applications.
Constructing a reliable, all-temperature database for water is a challenging task. To this end the task group has identified the following sub-topics that need to be addressed: spectra of water at 300 K, database structure, spectra of hot water, line profiles, theory and computation of water spectra, and validation.  Progress in this activity will be presented at the meeting

description: Natural products and their analogues have contributed significantly to treatment options, especially for anti-inflammatory and infectious diseases. Thus, the primary objective of this work was to compare the bioactivity profiles of selected medicinal plants that are historically used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and infections in the body. Chemical HPTLC fingerprinting was used to assess antioxidant, phenolic and flavonoid content, while bioassay-guided HPTLC was used to detect compounds with the highest antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. The results of this study showed that green tea leaf, walnut leaf, St. John's wort herb, wild thyme herb, European goldenrod herb, chamomile flower, and immortelle flower extracts were strong radical scavengers. Green tea and nettle extracts were the most active extracts against E. coli, while calendula flower extract showed significant potency against S. aureus. Furthermore, green tea, greater celandine, and fumitory extracts exhibited pronounced potential in suppressing COX-1 activity. The bioactive compounds from the green tea extract, as the most bioactive, were isolated by preparative thin-layer chromatography and characterized with their FTIR spectra. Although earlier studies have related green tea's anti-inflammatory properties to the presence of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate, the FTIR spectrum of the compound from the most intense bioactive zone showed the strongest anti-inflammatory activity can be attributed to amino acids and heterocyclic compounds. As expected, antibacterial activity in extracts was related to fatty acids and monoglycerides.
Bulges as red-nugget relics in massive disk galaxies
Creators: name: Costantin, Luca
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Theory, simulations, and observations are depicting a framework where today massive galaxies formed and evolved in a two-phase scenario. First, galaxies faced a dissipative phase of violent contraction resulting in compact, massive, and dead stellar systems named red nuggets. Then, they are supposed to grow in size through minor dry mergers end evolve into local giant elliptical galaxies. In addition to the standard channel connecting red nuggets with ellipticals, a fraction of red nuggets might have ended up as compact bulges embedded in disks. In this context, I will discuss the latest analysis of SHARDS massive disk galaxies in GOODS-N at redshift z<1. The spectro-photometric decomposition of the galaxies' light into their central bulge and the outer disk allowed me to derive the spectral energy distribution of each bulge with a spectral resolution of R=50 and characterize their star formation histories. My analysis reveals that bulges form in two waves and two modes. The first wave of bulges, which formed at redshift z>3, assembled their mass fast (timescales around 200 Myr). For the second wave of bulges, forming at redshift z<3, a slower mode starts to become relevant. Interestingly, first-wave bulges are more compact than second-wave bulges. Thus, my results suggest that the center of massive disk galaxies actually harbors a fraction of the elusive population of red-nugget relics, which appear to be the oldest spheroids formed in the Universe.

description: The manner in which unpredictable chaotic dynamics manifests itself in quantum mechanics is a key question in the field of quantum chaos. Indeed, very distinct quantum features can appear due to underlying classical nonlinear dynamics. Here we observe signatures of quantum nonlinear dynamics through the direct measurement of the time-evolved Wigner function of the quantum-kicked harmonic oscillator, implemented in the spatial degrees of freedom of light. Our setup is decoherence-free and we can continuously tune the semiclassical and chaos parameters, so as to explore the transition from regular to essentially chaotic dynamics. Owing to its robustness and versatility, our scheme can be used to experimentally investigate a variety of nonlinear quantum phenomena. As an example, we couple this system to a quantum bit and experimentally investigate the decoherence produced by regular or chaotic dynamics.

New measurements of therefractive indices of ternary (H2O/H2SO4/HNO3) droplets by Myhre [2003,2005] and the indices of supercooled water by Wagner [2005] are presented and compared toprevious data. New infrared cross sections of species of atmospheric interest (e.g., the measurements of HFC-125 and HFC-143a of Lonardo and Masciarelli [2000]) are also discussed.
We finally propose to link to the “other listings” portion of the HITRAN web site several established reflectance data bases, since many current and futureremote sensing experiments are influenced by groundemission and  reflectance contributions.

Exploring the potential of picture books for promoting critical multimodal literacy in young children: a study of picture books about child refugees

subject: Early childhood education

description: Picture books have long been recognised as an important resource for teaching children about complex social themes, from friendship and family relations to war, poverty, and inequality, thereby supporting the development of critical literacy. As picture books create meaning through the interplay of modes such as language and images, they are also a key resource for fostering multimodal literacy. Previous research, however, has tended to consider critical and multimodal literacy in isolation from each other, and studies of critical literacy rarely consider the years prior to school. This is why little is known about the potential of picture books to promote critical multimodal literacy in early childhood, that is, to draw young children’s attention to the role that words, images, and other semiotic resources play in raising complex social issues. This study takes a step towards addressing this gap through the critical multimodal discourse analysis of three award-winning picture books for 3-5-year-olds that represent the experiences of child refugees. The findings may support teachers looking to develop their capacity to foster critical multimodal literacy in young children through picture books. They may also inform curriculum design and future research aimed at promoting critical multimodal literacy in the prior-to-school years.

description: We prove that a weak equivalence between cofibrant props induces a weak equivalence between the associated classifying spaces of algebras. This statement generalizes to the prop setting a homotopy invariance result which is well known in the case of algebras over operads. The absence of model category structure on algebras over a prop leads us to introduce new methods to overcome this difficulty. We also explain how our result can be extended to algebras over colored props in any symmetric monoidal model category tensored over chain complexes.

description: The design and implementation of the 'Survey on the Socio-Economic Aspects of Commercial Fishing Crew in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic' (hereafter referred to as Crew Survey) is part of several new and ongoing data collection efforts to support the social scientific investigations of the region's fisheries. Not only does it target a hard-to-reach population of fishermen, it presents a structured opportunity for these fishing participants to voice their perceptions, concerns, and ideas about fisheries management. The survey began in the autumn of 2012, lasted approximately 1 year, and interviewed over 400 fishermen. This document provides an overview of the survey's background and objectives, including the development of the survey, the means of its implementation, and a synopsis of basic data summaries over the range of questions asked. A companion survey of permit holders, the 'Survey on the Socio-Economic Aspects of Commercial Fishing Vessel Owners in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic' (Owner Survey), was implemented approximately a year later and will be detailed in a later document.

description: A famous characterization theorem due to C.F. Gauss states that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter in a location family is the sample mean for all samples of all sample sizes if and only if the family is Gaussian. There exist many extensions of this result in diverse directions, most of them focussing on location and scale families. In this paper, we propose a unified treatment of this literature by providing general MLE characterization theorems for one-parameter group families (with particular attention on location and scale parameters). In doing so, we provide tools for determining whether or not a given such family is MLE-characterizable, and, in case it is, we define the fundamental concept of minimal necessary sample size at which a given characterization holds. Many of the cornerstone references on this topic are retrieved and discussed in the light of our findings, and several new characterization theorems are provided. Of particular interest is that one part of our work, namely the introduction of so-called equivalence classes for MLE characterizations, is a modernized version of Daniel Bernoulli's viewpoint on maximum likelihood estimation.

description: We prove the global existence of the small solutions to the Cauchy problem for quasilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition on $(R^3, g)$, where the metric $g$ is a small perturbation of the flat metric and approaches the Euclidean metric like $(1+|x|)^{-a}$ with $a>1$. Global and almost global existence for systems without the null condition are also discussed for certain small time-dependent perturbations of the flat metric in the appendix.

description: We introduce a new adaptive decomposition tool, which we refer to as Nonlinear Mode Decomposition (NMD). It decomposes a given signal into a set of physically meaningful oscillations for any waveform, simultaneously removing the noise. NMD is based on the powerful combination of time-frequency analysis techniques - which together with the adaptive choice of their parameters make it extremely noise-robust - and surrogate data tests, used to identify interdependent oscillations and to distinguish deterministic from random activity. We illustrate the application of NMD to both simulated and real signals, and demonstrate its qualitative and quantitative superiority over the other existing approaches, such as (ensemble) empirical mode decomposition, Karhunen-Loeve expansion and independent component analysis. We point out that NMD is likely to be applicable and useful in many different areas of research, such as geophysics, finance, and the life sciences. The necessary MATLAB codes for running NMD are freely available at http://www.physics.lancs.ac.uk/research/nbmphysics/diats/nmd/.

description: Maternal alcohol consumption is known to affect offspring growth and development, including growth deficits, physical anomalies, impaired brain functions and behavioral disturbances. Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, is essential during development, and continually found to be protective against neurotoxicity and various tissue damages including those from alcohol exposure. However, it is still unknown whether taurine can exert its protection during development of central nervous system and whether it can reverse alcohol damages on developed brain later in life. This study aims to investigate protective roles of taurine against maternal alcohol consumption on growth and development of offspring. The experimental protocol was conducted using ICR-outbred pregnant mice given 10 % alcohol, with or without maternal taurine supplementation during gestation and lactation. Pregnancy outcomes, offspring mortality and successive bodyweight until adult were monitored. Adult offspring is supplemented taurine to verify its ability to reverse damages on learning and memory through a water maze task performance. Our results demonstrate that offspring of maternal alcohol exposure, together with maternal taurine supplementation show conserved learning and memory, while that of offspring treated taurine later in life are disturbed. Taurine provides neuroprotective effects and preserves learning and memory processes when given together with maternal alcohol consumption, but not shown such effects when given exclusively in offspring.

description: Sleep deprivation affects all aspects of health. Adverse health effects by sleep deviation are still underestimated and undervalued in clinical practice and, to a much greater extent in monitoring human health. We hypothesized that sleep deprivation-induced mild organ injuries; oxidative stress and inflammation might play a crucial role in inducing multi-organ injury. Male C57BL/6J mice (n = 6-7) were sleep-deprived for 0-72 h using a modified multiple platform boxes method. Blood and tissue were collected. Liver, heart, kidney, lung, and pancreatic injuries were evaluated using biochemical and histological analyses. Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), total billirubin (TBIL), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), creatine phosphokinase-myocardial band (CKMB), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine (CRE), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were assayed in blood. Malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 levels were measured. Histology revealed mild-to-moderate liver and lung injury in sleep-deprived mice. Sleep-deprived mice had significantly higher GOT, GPT, TBIL, CPK, CKMB, LDH, BUN, and α-amylase (AMYL) levels, which indicated liver, heart, kidney, and pancreatic injuries. Serum IL-1β at 24 h and IL-6 at 72 h were significantly higher in sleep-deprived than in control mice. Hepatic TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly higher, but IL-6 significantly lower in mice that had been sleep-deprived for 72 h. Sleep deprivation-mediated inflammation may be associated with mild to moderate multi-organ damage in mice. The implication of this study indicates sleep deprivation in humans may induce multi-organ injury that negatively affects cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health.
