description: The FRACTESUS project aims to determine the effect of specimen size on the fracture toughness properties. The project has entered its last year and many preliminary data are available. In this contribution, we report on the status of the three main inter-laboratory round robins (RR) that have been completed: i) numerical round robin; ii) experimental round robin on unirradiated materials; and iii) experimental round robin on irradiated material. The numerical round robin is completed by nine different laboratories and shows that the different numerical tools and set-ups used by the different laboratories provide comparable and consistent results. The experimental round robin on six unirradiated materials is completed by 13 different laboratories (>480 fracture toughness tests). Except for the 73W weld material, the reference temperatures T0 obtained from MC(T) specimens by the different laboratories compares well to the ones obtained from large (mostly 1T-C(T)) specimens. The experimental round robin on the irradiated 73W weld material is performed by seven different laboratories (>112 fracture toughness tests). Similar to the unirradiated case, T0 obtained from the MC(T) data set largely underestimates T0 from large specimens by about the same amount.

description: Nickel-based alloys that contain chromium are widely used in corrosion-resistant applications in industry, but they are sensitive to the environment when the passive chromium oxide layer is damaged. In Ni600 and Ni625 alloys, precipitates can deplete the surface layer of chromium oxide. To better characterize and analyze the nickel alloy surfaces and their chromium carbides, chemical etching with different etchants and electrolytic etching were applied to sample surfaces. This paper revealed their efficacy in etching various carbides within the nickel alloys, and orange phases ranging from 2 to 20 μm in optical micrographs were identified as titanium-containing compounds. Carbides located on the grain boundaries were determined to be Cr23C6 and were surrounded by chromium-depleted zones. The findings and figures in this paper provide a more intuitive reference for future analysis of carbides and titanium nitrides, enhancing the understanding of their impact on the corrosion resistance of these alloys, which will not only contribute to the material science field but also aid in developing the Ni-based alloys for industrial applications.

description: Purpose – The paper develops and validates an instrument that explores users’ attitudes and intentions to use mobile e-book reading applications (Apps) on smartphones and tablets and appraises users’ perceptions of such Apps as a value-added service complementing travel experience. Design/Methodology/Approach – The process of development, purification and psychometric validation of the proposed measurement scale is presented. The scale is an extension of the Technology Adoption Model integrating the Innovation Diffusion Theory, Theory of Planned Behaviour and value-added service. After the pilot testing and scale purification, quantitative data were collected using an online highly structured self-administered questionnaire. Statistical tests were applied to analyse the proposed measurement scale's validity, reliability and dimensionality. Findings – The applied confirmatory factor analyses yielded in 15 innovation attributes items, categorised under different dimensions, confirming the scale’s psychometric characteristics. Given that it is an exclusively student-centred study, its application and interpretation of the obtained results should be treated within its limitations. Originality of the research - The study proposes a useful measurement instrument assessing users’ attitudes and intentions to use e-book reading Apps on mobile devices. This study is intended to stimulate further research which should include larger samples and further develop and validate the proposed measurement instrument by including the relevant aspects that were not administered within this study, but might be useful to provide deeper understanding of the multiple contributions of mobile Apps, which could benefit Croatia as a tourist destination and all its stakeholders.

description: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ESKAPE pathogens, present a significant and alarming threat to public health and healthcare systems. This study addresses the urgent need to combat antimicrobial resistance by exploring alternative ways to reduce the health and cost implications of infections caused by these pathogens. To disrupt their transmission, integrating antimicrobial textiles into personal protective equipment (PPE) is an encouraging avenue. Nevertheless, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of these textiles remains a persistent challenge. To achieve this, we conduct a comprehensive study that systematically compares the effectiveness and potential toxicity of five commonly used antimicrobial agents. To guide decision making, a MULTIMOORA method is employed to select and rank the optimal antimicrobial textile finishes. Through this approach, we determine that silver nitrate is the most suitable choice, while a methoxy-terminated quaternary ammonium compound is deemed less favorable in meeting the desired criteria. The findings of this study offer valuable insights and guidelines for the development of antimicrobial textiles that effectively address the requirements of effectiveness, safety, and durability. Implementing these research outcomes within the textile industry can significantly enhance protection against microbial infections, contribute to the improvement of public health, and mitigate the spread of infectious diseases.

description: The interaction of sedimentary systems with oceanographic processes in deep-water environments is still not well understood, despite its importance for improving paleoreconstructions and for understanding source-to-sink sediment transport. The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of sediment deposits formed by the action of bottom currents (contourites), and specifically elongated depressions that are called ‘moats’. Moats are common incisions oriented alongslope formed by the main core of the current and are usually associated with a mounded, elongated sediment deposit (contourite drift) adjacent to one of the moat sides. Based on seismic/sub-bottom profiler and bathymetric data, we analyse the morphology and stratigraphy of moats in different parts of the world ocean. Moats show a large variability in terms of size and shapes. The length can be over 95 km, width (horizontal distance between slope and drift crest) can be over 26 km, relief (vertical distance between drift crest and deepest point of the moat) can be over 480 m and the relief-width ratio can be over 0.1. Even though Coriolis force has a great influence on the general wind and ocean circulation, it seems to have only a small or no influence on the moat morphology. However, over 100 measurements show that the slope angle at which the moat forms influences the drift angle and the relief-width ratio. Higher slope angle leads to high drift angle and relief-width ratio. Possibly steep slopes focus and narrow the main core of the current. The gradient of speed between inside and outside the moat (i.e. on the contourite drift) is higher in a narrow jet. Thus, a narrow jet can lead to higher drift angle and thus a higher relief-width ratio. Three types of stratigraphic stacking pattern can be distinguished based on the location at which the seismic reflections terminate. Seismic reflections from the drift in Type A reflections follow the moat morphology and onlap at the slope side. Going from drift to moat in Type B, the slope angle of the seismic reflections increases and reflections downlap at the bottom of the moat. In Type C seismic reflections are truncated at the drift side and show only a slight dip towards the moat. Within one moat, the stratigraphic type can change. These different types cannot alone be explained by variations in slope angle and thus other factures like current velocity and sediment supply have to be considered.

description: The two haloarchaeal proteins, GvpM and GvpJ, are homologous to GvpA, the major gas vesicle structural protein. All three are hydrophobic and essential for gas vesicle formation. The effect of mutations in GvpJ and GvpM was studied in Haloferax volcanii transformants by complementing the respective mutated gene with the remaining gvp genes and inspecting the cells for the presence of gas vesicles (Vac⁺). In case of GvpJ, 56 of 66 substitutions analyzed yielded Vac⁻ ΔJ + Jmut transformants, indicating that GvpJ is very sensitive to alterations, whereas ten of the 38 GvpM variants resulted in Vac⁻ ΔM + Mmut transformants. The variants were also tested by split-GFP for their ability to interact with their partner protein GvpL. Some of the alterations leading to a Vac⁻ phenotype affected the J/L or M/L interaction. Also, the interactions J/A and J/M were studied using fragments to exclude an unspecific aggregation of these hydrophobic proteins. Both fragments of GvpJ interacted with the M1–25 and M60–84 fragments of GvpM, and fragment J1–56 of GvpJ interacted with the N-terminal fragment A1–22 of GvpA. A comparison of the results on the three homologous proteins indicates that despite their relatedness, GvpA, GvpJ, and GvpM have unique features and cannot substitute each other.

description: Processing of sensory information is embedded into ongoing neural processes which contribute to brain states. Electroencephalographic microstates are semi-stable short-lived power distributions which have been associated with subsystem activity such as auditory, visual and attention networks. Here we explore changes in electrical brain states in response to an audiovisual perception and memorization task under conditions of auditory distraction. We discovered changes in brain microstates reflecting a weakening of states representing activity of the auditory system and strengthening of salience networks, supporting the idea that salience networks are active after audiovisual encoding and during memorization to protect memories and concentrate on upcoming behavioural response.
Studies of new Higgs boson interactions through nonresonant HH production in the b¯bγγ fnal state in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2024

description: A search for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production in the b ¯bγγ fnal state is performed using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This analysis supersedes and expands upon the previous nonresonant ATLAS results in this fnal state based on the same data sample. The analysis strategy is optimised to probe anomalous values not only of the Higgs (H) boson self-coupling modifer κλ but also of the quartic HHV V (V = W, Z) coupling modifer κ2V . No signifcant excess above the expected background from Standard Model processes is observed. An observed upper limit µHH < 4.0 is set at 95% confdence level on the Higgs boson pair production cross-section normalised to its Standard Model prediction. The 95% confdence intervals for the coupling modifers are −1.4 < κλ < 6.9 and −0.5 < κ2V < 2.7, assuming all other Higgs boson couplings except the one under study are fxed to the Standard Model predictions. The results are interpreted in the Standard Model efective feld theory and Higgs efective feld theory frameworks in terms of constraints on the couplings of anomalous Higgs boson (self-)interactions.

Malaria in Hong Kong: impact, eradication and legacy
Creators: name: Sinha, Ria
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Malaria had a major impact on the development of Hong Kong. High disease mortality in the early years of the colony's formation influenced where and how people lived, as well as driving local medical expertise. As Hong Kong expanded, targeted health measures to combat malaria became more important. Yet a number of challenges threatened progress against the disease, including immigration from China and South East Asia, construction and the disruption of the Second World War. Eradication of endemic malaria was realised in 1969, but localised outbreaks continued to occur into the 1980's. Today, prompt diagnosis treatment of imported cases, ongoing mosquito control and continued surveillance are necessary public health activities to prevent reintroduction of the malaria parasite. The eventual eradication of indigenous malaria in Hong Kong was a gradual process dependent on scientific knowledge, medical expertise, government policy, public education and vigilance.

description: Click-through Rate (CTR) prediction in real-world recommender systems often deals with billions of user interactions every day. To improve the training efficiency, it is common to update the CTR prediction model incrementally using the new incremental data and a subset of historical data. However, the feature embeddings of a CTR prediction model often get stale when the corresponding features do not appear in current incremental data. In the next period, the model would have a performance degradation on samples containing stale features, which we call the feature staleness problem. To mitigate this problem, we propose a Feature Staleness Aware Incremental Learning method for CTR prediction (FeSAIL) which adaptively replays samples containing stale features. We first introduce a staleness aware sampling algorithm (SAS) to sample a fixed number of stale samples with high sampling efficiency. We then introduce a staleness aware regularization mechanism (SAR) for a fine-grained control of the feature embedding updating. We instantiate FeSAIL with a general deep learning-based CTR prediction model and the experimental results demonstrate FeSAIL outperforms various state-of-the-art methods on four benchmark datasets.

description: The tyrosine kinase inhibitor Cabozantinib has been applied in clinical studies in combination with radiotherapy. We investigated the effect of such combination on triple-negative 4T1 cells as a metastatic breast cancer model in vitro and in vivo upon inoculation in BALB/c mice. In vitro assays indicated a potential for improved effects using the combination. Both Cabozantinib (2.5 µM) and 10 Gy of 250 kV x-rays were able to cease the growth of 4T1 cells as revealed by growth curves. In a clonogenic survival assay, the effect of Cabozantinib added on the effects of irradiation and the effectiveness of inhibiting the clonogenic survival was found to be 2 (RBE₁₀). Additionally, cell death measurements of apoptosis plus necrosis revealed a synergistic effect when combining irradiation with Cabozantinib. Surprisingly, however, in vivo tumor growth kinetics showed no additional effect in growth control when irradiation was used together with Cabozantinib. Since both ionizing radiation and Cabozantinib are acknowledged to feature immunogenic effects, we additionally investigated the effect of the treatments on lung metastases. No difference to the control groups was found here, neither for irradiation nor Cabozantinib alone nor in combination. Yet, upon analysis of the mice’ livers, CD11b-positive cells, indicating immune suppressive myeloid derived suppressor cells were found diminished following treatment with Cabozantinib. In conclusion, despite promising in vitro controls of the combination of Cabozantinib and irradiation, tumor growth control was not increased by the combination, which was true also for the occurrence of lung metastases.

description: Heavy mineral studies are dependent on many variables that should be considered in order to avoid erroneous provenance interpretations. Firstly, sediment transported and deposited by larger rivers is the result of the erosion of several lithological units present in the catchment with potentially differing mineral fertilities. Secondly, possible bias arises from the narrow sand-size window that is typically considered for single-grain analysis in sedimentary provenance studies. Quantifying and understanding the resulting bias is crucial for the correct interpretation, especially of single-grain methods such as apatite or zircon geochronology. In this study, an inter- and intra-sample comparison of apatite and zircon concentrations is conducted on modern Alpine fluvial sands derived from five monolithological catchments draining granitoid, ophiolitic, metamorphic and sedimentary sources. The distribution of these minerals was quantified and compared within narrow grain size windows of each sample using different methods: (1) Point counting in strewn slides, (2) QEMSCAN analysis, (3) concentration of apatite and zircon using magnetic as well as dense liquid separation, (4) XRF and ICP-MS analysis of P2O5 and Zr as proxies for apatite and zircon, respectively, and (5) modelling based on the size shift. While in line with published fertility values in the Alps, the inter-sample results show varying heavy mineral concentrations over three orders of magnitude in different source lithologies. They tend to be highest in metamorphic and lowest in sedimentary source lithologies. The intra-sample comparison shows highest zircon and apatite concentrations in the finer sand size fraction from 63-250 μm, which is expected from the settling-equivalence principle. However, the geochemical analysis also reveals a significant amount of P2O5 and Zr within the grain sizes smaller than 63 μm. This is especially important, since many single-grain provenance studies do not consider the silt and clay fractions and thus miss those apatite and zircon populations.

description: There has been considerable progress in investigating collective actions in the last decades. However, the real progress is different from what many scholars take it to be. It lies in the fact that there is by now a wealth of different approaches from a variety of fields. Each approach has carved out fruitful mechanisms for explaining collective action, but is also faced with limitations. Given that situation, we submit that the next step in investigating collective action is to acknowledge the plurality of approaches and bring them into dialogue. With this aim in mind, the present article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of some of the to our mind most relevant approaches to collective action in current debates. We begin with the collective intentionality framework, the team reasoning approach, and social identity theory. Then, we move to ecological social psychology, participatory sense-making, and, through the lenses of those frameworks, dynamical systems theory. Finally, we discuss practice theory. Against this background, we provide a proposal for a synthesis of the successful explanatory mechanisms as they have been carved out by the different research programs. The suggestion is, roughly, to understand collective action as dynamical interaction of a self-organizing system with its environment, shaped by a process of collective sense-making.

description: Wood pellets are a versatile ingredient to produce bioenergy and bioproducts. Wood pellet manufacturing in Canada started as a way of using the excess sawdust from sawmilling operations. With the recent dwindling availability of sawdust and the growth in demand for wood pellets, the industry uses more non-sawdust woody biomass as feedstock. In this study, woody biomass materials received from nine wood pellet plants in British Columbia (BC) and Alberta were analyzed for their properties, especially those used for fractionating feedstock to make pellets. Half of the feedstock received at the plants was non-sawdust. Moisture contents varied from 10 to 60% wet basis, with the hog having an average of 50%. Ash contents ranged from 0.3 to 4% dry basis and were highest in the hog fraction. Bulk density varied from 50 to 450 kg/m³, with shavings having the lowest bulk density. Particle density ranged from 359 kg/m³ for infeed mix to 513 kg/m³ for sawdust. In total, 25% of particles received were larger than 25 mm. The extraneous materials (sand, dirt) in the infeed materials ranged from 0.03% to 1.2%, except for one hog sample (8.2%). Plant operators use mechanical fractionation and blending to meet the required ash content. In conclusion, further instrumental techniques to aid in fractionation should be developed.

description: Radiotheranostics refers to the pairing of radioactive imaging biomarkers with radioactive therapeutic compounds that deliver ionizing radiation. Given the introduction of very promising radiopharmaceuticals, the radiotheranostics approach is creating a novel paradigm in personalized, targeted radionuclide therapies (TRTs), also known as radiopharmaceuticals (RPTs). Radiotherapeutic pairs targeting somatostatin receptors (SSTR) and prostate-specific membrane antigens (PSMA) are increasingly being used to diagnose and treat patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and prostate cancer. In parallel, radiomics and artificial intelligence (AI), as important areas in quantitative image analysis, are paving the way for significantly enhanced workflows in diagnostic and theranostic fields, from data and image processing to clinical decision support, improving patient selection, personalized treatment strategies, response prediction, and prognostication. Furthermore, AI has the potential for tremendous effectiveness in patient dosimetry which copes with complex and time-consuming tasks in the RPT workflow. The present work provides a comprehensive overview of radiomics and AI application in radiotheranostics, focusing on pairs of SSTR- or PSMA-targeting radioligands, describing the fundamental concepts and specific imaging/treatment features. Our review includes ligands radiolabeled by 68Ga, 18F, 177Lu, 64Cu, 90Y, and 225Ac. Specifically, contributions via radiomics and AI towards improved image acquisition, reconstruction, treatment response, segmentation, restaging, lesion classification, dose prediction, and estimation as well as ongoing developments and future directions are discussed.

description: The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), an elicitor of plant defense mechanisms, on the biosynthesis of diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, were investigated in six fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) varieties (Gujarat Methi-2, Kasuri-1, Kasuri-2, Pusa Early Branching, Rajasthan Methi and Maharashtra Methi-5).  MeJA upregulated the expression of two pivotal genes of the mevalonate pathway, the metabolic route leading to diosgenin: 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG) and sterol-3-glucosyl transferase (STRL). In particular, MeJA increased the expression of HMG and STRL genes.

description: The helium (⁴He) component of the primary particles in the galactic cosmic ray spectrum makes significant contributions to the total astronaut radiation exposure. ⁴He ions are also desirable for direct applications in ion therapy. They contribute smaller projectile fragmentation than carbon (¹²C) ions and smaller lateral beam spreading than protons. Space radiation protection and ion therapy applications need reliable nuclear reaction models and transport codes for energetic particles in matter. Neutrons and light ions (¹H, ²H, ³H, ³He, and ⁴He) are the most important secondary particles produced in space radiation and ion therapy nuclear reactions; these particles penetrate deeply and make large contributions to dose equivalent. Since neutrons and light ions may scatter at large angles, double differential cross sections are required by transport codes that propagate radiation fields through radiation shielding and human tissue. This work will review the importance of ⁴He projectiles to space radiation and ion therapy, and outline the present status of neutron and light ion production cross section measurements and modeling, with recommendations for future needs.

description: Electrooculography (EOG) serves as a widely employed technique for tracking saccadic eye movements in a diverse array of applications. These encompass the identification of various medical conditions and the development of interfaces facilitating human–computer interaction. Nonetheless, EOG signals are often met with skepticism due to the presence of multiple sources of noise interference. These sources include electroencephalography, electromyography linked to facial and extraocular muscle activity, electrical noise, signal artifacts, skin-electrode drifts, impedance fluctuations over time, and a host of associated challenges. Traditional methods of addressing these issues, such as bandpass filtering, have been frequently utilized to overcome these challenges but have the associated drawback of altering the inherent characteristics of EOG signals, encompassing their shape, magnitude, peak velocity, and duration, all of which are pivotal parameters in research studies. In prior work, several model-based adaptive denoising strategies have been introduced, incorporating mechanical and electrical model-based state estimators. However, these approaches are really complex and rely on brain and neural control models that have difficulty processing EOG signals in real time. In this present investigation, we introduce a real-time denoising method grounded in a constant velocity model, adopting a physics-based model-oriented approach. This approach is underpinned by the assumption that there exists a consistent rate of change in the cornea-retinal potential during saccadic movements. Empirical findings reveal that this approach remarkably preserves EOG saccade signals, resulting in a substantial enhancement of up to 29% in signal preservation during the denoising process when compared to alternative techniques, such as bandpass filters, constant acceleration models, and model-based fusion methods.

description: Electronic fitness function (EFF, achieved by the electrical transport properties) as a new quantity to estimate thermoelectric (TE) performance of semiconductor crystals is usually used for screening novel TE materials. In recent years, because of the high EFF values, an increasing number of two-dimensional materials have been predicted to have the potential for TE applications via high-throughput calculations. Among them, the GeS₂ monolayer has many interesting physical properties and is being used for industrial applications. Hence, in this work, we systematically investigated the TE performance, including both electronic and thermal transport properties, of the GeS₂ monolayer with first-principles calculations. The results show that the structure of the GeS₂ monolayer at 700 K is thermally unstable, so we study its TE performance only at 300 and 500 K. As compared with other typical TE monolayers, the GeS₂ monolayer exhibits excellent electronic transport properties but a relatively high lattice thermal conductivity of 5.71 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ at 500 K, and thus an unsatisfactory ZT value of 0.23. Such a low ZT value indicates that it is necessary to consider not only the electron transport properties but also the thermal transport properties to screen the thermoelectric materials with excellent performance through high-throughput calculations.

description: In this report, we describe the assorted educational “journeys” that over 68,000 British Columbian students with disabilities and learning exceptionalities take from school entry at Kindergarten through to high school completion, and beyond to public postsecondary education (if undertaken in British Columbia). In particular, we report students’ journeys for each of the 12 separate inclusive education (special needs) categories (“designations”) routinely tracked by the British Columbia (BC) Ministry of Education and Child Care (MECC). These designations refer to a range of disabilities and/or learning exceptionalities. We also report students’ journeys for a 13th “designation” (called Special Needs Ever), in which all 12 designations have been combined together.

description: In this work, the deformation behavior of as-prepared (AP) and structurally relaxed (SR) Cu–Zr–based nanoglasses (NGs) are investigated using nano- and micro-indentation. The NGs are subjected to structural relaxation by annealing them close to the glass transition temperature without altering their amorphous nature. The indentation load, p, vs. displacement, h, curves of SR samples are characterized by discrete displacement bursts, while the AP samples do not show any of them, suggesting that annealing has caused a local change in the amorphous structure. In both the samples, hardness (at nano- and micro-indentation) decreases with increasing p, demonstrating the indentation size effect. The micro-indentation imprints of SR NGs show evidence of shear bands at the periphery, indicating a heterogeneous plastic flow, while AP NG does not display any shear bands. Interestingly, the shear band density decreases with p, highlighting the fact that plastic strain is accommodated entirely by the shear bands in the subsurface deformation zone. The results are explained by the differences in the amorphous structure of the two NGs.
