description: Polymeric composites, with either metallic or ceramic fillers, have been manufactured by thermal spray, and their mechanical properties have been measured. The advantage of this technology is that it allows on-site manufacture and is a repairable composite system, with virtually no cure time and no release of volatile organic compounds. Fracture mechanisms have been studied to examine mechanical modeling of the composite system.

description: The Cerro Negro Anticlinal located between the municipalities of Oiba and Charalá south of the department of Santander provides valuable information about the development and evolution of karst systems, much of the area is affected by limestone dissolution processes within the Rosablanca Formation. On the eroded flanks of the anticline, there are bodies of water that correspond to closed depressions, as well as karst valleys, caves and geoforms characteristic of this environment. Given the need to characterize this system, which has not been studied before, a morphometric analysis of closed depressions was made from satellite images to find a relationship of its spatial distribution with the orientation of geological structures. In addition, a field campaign was carried out to recognize the spatial distribution of the system and the acquisition of subsoil information was carried out by means of electrical resistivity tomography. The morphometric analysis performed at 178 closed depressions allowed to establish that its spatial distribution occurs in clusters in which elliptical and elongated forms predominate, there is a relationship between the elongation directions of the closed depressions with the preferential directions of the geological structures, such as the joint systems (oblique and longitudinal) and the Amansagatos fault which can have greater influence in the depressions located to the north of the structure. Four caves were found during the field campaign which confirms a more advanced state of karstification. The interpretation of the tomography lines allowed to identify subsoil areas where there may be presence of fractured limestone and contain variation in water saturation related to flows that are part of the underground circulation. With the unified information, a geological and geomorphological mapping was performed at a 1: 25000 scale, determining the denudational morphogenetic environment as the predominant one, followed by the structural and karst.

description: The new Ag(I) complexes (2-4) with proligand 1 were prepared and characterized as prospective antibacterial drug candidates. These compounds consist of a Ag(I) center linearly coordinated to two identical N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Crystal structures were solved for complexes 3 and 4, the resulting structural data being in good agreement with expectations. We wondered whether the presence of different counter ions in these compounds might lead to modulation of their biological properties. Notably, in spite of their similar structural pattern, Ag(I)-NHC complex 2 with Br- manifested better antibacterial actions than complexes 3 and 4 with PF6- and BF4-, respectively. Stability study over time in bacterial solutions revealed that these complexes have better stability than AgNO3. Their interaction with DNA and RNA was explored, cleavage activity indicates that all the Ag(I)-NHC complexes exhibited interesting nuclease activity via non-oxidative pathway.

description: Aluminum oxide is widely used for plasma spraying. Alumina deposits consist of a number of metastable crystallographic modifications, which at elevated temperatures, transform to the stable ? phase. It was shown that additions of various oxides changed the phase composition and shift phase transformation temperatures. This paper addresses the variation of phase compositions and temperatures of the phase changes for plasma-sprayed alumina deposits manufactured with alumina-base materials containing O2O3 and TiO2. This study combines the results obtained from energy dispersive analyzer of X-rays (EDAX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) chemical analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) quantitative phase analysis of as-sprayed and annealed samples of alumina deposits and shows how the two additives change the phase composition and the ?-phase formation temperature. This transformation temperature varied by nearly 200 °C. The metastable alumina sequences were also influenced by the chemical composition; for example, the content of 6 alumina varied between 0 and 55 wt %.
Re-evaluating the Role of Symbiont-Produced Reactive Oxygen Species in Coral Bleaching

description: Coral bleaching continues to be the largest threat to vital reef ecosystems globally. The crisis has been strongly linked to external stressors, especially elevated water temperatures. Bleaching is the expulsion of algal symbionts by the coral host due to a breakdown in the symbiotic relationship. It is widely believed that when heat stressed, the photosynthetic process of algal symbionts is more prone to creating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which oxidatively damage coral tissue and thus trigger expulsion of the algae. However, there is also considerable evidence that is inconsistent with this theory. This study reevaluates the oxidative-stressor theory by attempting to replicate and expanding on previous experiments that were cited when the theory was initially proposed. The experiments reported here included a variety of reef-building corals, including species in the genera Acropora, Montipora, Pocillopora, and Pavona. Experiments were conducted in both controlled laboratory and outdoor environments. The effects of treatment with the antioxidants mannitol, ascorbate, and catalase on oxidative stress and bleaching were quantified at both heat-stress and control temperatures. Bleaching was quantified by measuring algal-symbiont density using flow cytometric counts, and oxidative stress was quantified using a malondialdehyde (MDA) assay. Statistical analysis used one-way ANOVA within each species to assess the effect of treatment on bleaching metrics. This was followed by pairwise comparisons between specific treatment groups. Antioxidant treatments were found to have no statistically significant effect on bleaching or oxidative stress. This suggests that photosynthetically produced ROS are not the primary explanation for why corals expel their symbionts when heat stressed. Re-examining the breakdown of this important symbiotic relationship is crucial to understanding and mitigating future bleaching events.

description: Purpose. To facilitate the implementation planning process of a trauma-informed care (TIC) program at an acute care pediatric hospital, while observing aspects of the process in a naturalistic setting. My specific thesis objectives were to: 1. Examine current literature relating to TIC interventions used in pediatric mental health inpatient and residential settings, the intervention components, and the implementation goals and implementation strategies used. 2. Explore knowledge-user (youth, caregiver, and staff) perspectives on their vision of TIC, and identify potential implementation considerations. 3. Describe and reflect upon a trainee's experience using an integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) approach to TIC implementation planning. Methods. Three studies informed by tenets of critical realism and complexity theory, taking an IKT approach guided by Implementation Roadmap: a) a scoping review of TIC interventions and implementation strategies used; b) a qualitative exploration of youth, caregiver, and staff perspectives on their vision of TIC in the local context and implementation considerations; and c) a description of the IKT approach from my perspective as a trainee. Findings. In Study 1, I identified 49 articles reporting on 21 distinct TIC interventions, which ranged in detail pertaining to intervention aims, ingredients, delivery, and related implementation goals and strategies used. These findings affirmed the complexity of TIC and of TIC interventions, and the importance of clearly identifying and reporting components. In Study 2, twenty-five individuals participated in individual or group interviews, which revealed five key domains to consider when implementing TIC: the centrality of relational engagement, TIC core program components, factors that may support or limit success in implementing TIC within the mental health unit and hospital-wide, and the importance of intersectoral collaboration. In Study 3, I reflected on the value of an IKT approach. Facilitating this process highlighted the value of an action-based implementation framework in guiding and structuring the implementation process, and the congruency between TIC principles and the application of an IKT approach. Furthermore, leadership support, knowledge-user empowerment, and organizational enthusiasm and perseverance were vital in advancing implementation. Conclusions. The Implementation Roadmap was complementary to guiding IKT. TIC principles may help inform not only the delivery of TIC but also the complex process of implementing TIC.

description: A simple heuristic model was developed to demonstrate the major characteristics of impinging particles prior to impact and during the spreading stages. It is based on the determination of transfer functions between the powder particle size distribution and splat equivalent diameter distributions. The input data consist mainly of the aforementioned distributions, determined experimentally using a particle size analyzer for powder particle size analysis and the wipe test for splat equivalent diameter analysis. Output data relate to the major characteristics of the impinging particles: flattening degree, intrinsic deposition efficiency, impact velocity, etc. Comparisons of the model predictions with experimental data showed reasonable agreement. Implementation of this simple protocol provides understanding of interactions during the process and also has technological and economical impacts. It permits quality control (QC) of deposition efficiency by control of splat morphologies and aids in the definition of specifications for the powders used (for example, in terms of the lower and upper limits of the particle size distribution leading to the formation of a deposit with given processing parameters) allowing the optimization of the spray parameters to obtain high-integrity deposits.

description: Enhanced bone attachment to orthopaedic implants is obtained with the use of bioactive hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings. Osteoblast cells attached to both low and high crystalline HA coatings, and did not significantly change the morphology of the surfaces. Significant changes in coating chemistry took place in both low and high crystalline coatings as evidenced by the changes in the X-ray spectra of the two materials. This in vitro study had different influences on the two coating types: the low crystalline HA coating lost amorphous material and increased in crystallinity over the 14 days, while the high crystalline HA coating had a decreasing crystallinity over the same time period. The crystallographic changes taking place in the HA coatings between 7 and 14 days need to be further investigated

description: This letter develops a fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based method for estimating the impulse response of FIR single-input multiple-output (SIMO) channels driven by an unknown deterministic signal. The proposed algorithm successfully handles very short data sequences, for which the existing second-order statistics based methods, e.g., the subspace (SS), cross-relation (CR), and shifted correlation (SC) algorithms, are known to suffer performance degradation due to inaccurate statistics. The new method significantly outperforms the SS, CR, and SC methods with short sequences of observation data. This proposed method is computationally efficient for achieving good performance when data sequences are inevitably short, as in certain practical applications.

description: This paper describes how the recently developed constrained least squares (CLS) filtering algorithm can be made iterative to improve the resolution gain (RG) of medical ultrasound images. We propose the use of the iterative CLS (ICLS) filter, by incorporating the recently proposed ultrasound tissue model, to account for the random fluctuations of the tissue signal within the received ultrasound radio frequency (RF) echo signal. The resulting improvement in RG is demonstrated by eight different abdomen ultrasound images where progressive improvements in both the axial and lateral directions can be observed.

description: This paper presents empirical findings from a combination of two elicitation techniques—discrete choice experiment (DCE) and best–worst scaling (BWS)—to provide information about the role of consumers’ trust in food choice decisions in the case of credence attributes. The analysis was based on a sample of 459 Taiwanese consumers and focuses on red sweet peppers. DCE data were examined using latent class analysis to investigate the importance and the utility different consumer segments attach to the production method, country of origin, and chemical residue testing. The relevance of attitudinal and trust-based items was identified by BWS using a hierarchical Bayesian mixed logit model and was aggregated to five latent components by means of principal component analysis. Applying a multinomial logit model, participants’ latent class membership (obtained from DCE data) was regressed on the identified attitudinal and trust components, as well as demographic information. Results of the DCE latent class analysis for the product attributes show that four segments may be distinguished. Linking the DCE with the attitudinal dimensions reveals that consumers’ attitude and trust significantly explain class membership and therefore, consumers’ preferences for different credence attributes. Based on our results, we derive recommendations for industry and policy.
A reconstruction algorithm for helical CT imaging on PI-planes

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, a Feldkamp type approximate reconstruction algorithm is presented for helical cone-beam Computed Tomography. To effectively suppress artifacts due to large cone angle scanning, it is proposed to reconstruct the object pointwisely on unique customized tilted PI-planes which are close to the data collecting helices of the corresponding points. Such a reconstruction scheme can considerably suppress the artifacts in the cone-angle scanning. Computer simulations show that the proposed algorithm can provide improved imaging performance compared with the existing approximate cone-beam reconstruction algorithms.

description: The article highlights a semiotically relevant aspect of Niklas Luhmann’s Theory of Social Systems: its reception of the Saussurean dichotomies signifiant/signifié and langue/parole. Luhmann’s position is weighted against the Cours as well as Saussure’s original writings, sampling their approaches to form, meaning, the sign’s two-sidedness, and the relation of linguistic structure and speech events. Ultimately, the article proposes a social ontology of linguistic abstraction in line with general semiology that explains the motility of language through communication, thereby accounting for variability and optionality. It also indicates as to how the theoretical framework can feed into a model of linguistic description.

A new scheme and reconstruction algorithm for dual source circular CT
Creators: name: Yan, Ming

name: Liang, Hongzhu
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Circular cone beam scanning has been a most popular scheme for computed tomography (CT) imaging, which is simple and can achieve symmetric projection data of the interested object. Many algorithms have been developed for circular cone beam CT. Many of these are FDK type algorithms, which can achieve good reconstruction quality when cone angle is small but may cause image deformation and density reduction at off plane when the cone angle is large. With the recently introduced dual source circular cone beam CT, we can deal with this problem under a new dual source geometry. In this paper, we propose a novel reconstruction scheme dual source circular cone beam CT by placing X-ray sources on two circular planes perpendicular to the rotating axis. We propose a reconstruction algorithm for this scanning scheme and evaluate the scanning scheme and the reconstruction algorithm with a 3D Shepp Logan phantom and a disk phantom. Simulation results show that the proposed method can provide improved reconstruction image quality for both in plane and off plane of the object.

description: Studying the parasites of wildlife necessitates the accurate estimate of ectoparasites of free-ranging animals, often in a field setting. The objective of this study was to test the relative accuracy of ectoparasite estimate in a rodent species, the Southern African ground squirrel (Xerus inauris). Estimates of ectoparasites using combing were compared to total counts of ectoparasites on sacrificed animals. Results suggest that our combing method and visual inspection was a reliable method to estimate flea and lice intensity and abundance for Xerus inauris species. However, differences were found in prevalence of these parasites between estimated and total collected, as the total was 1.5 times that of the estimates. These results demonstrate successful estimation of parasites in a live small mammal species without requiring anaesthesia.

Year: 2024

description: A new medical ultrasound tissue model is considered in this paper, which incorporates random fluctuations of the tissue response and provides more realistic interpretation of the received pulse-echo ultrasound signal. Using this new model, we propose an algorithm for restoration of the degraded ultrasound image. The proposed deconvolution is a modification of the classical regularization technique which combines Wiener filter and the constrained least squares (LS) algorithm for restoration of the ultrasound image. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated based on both the simulated phantom images and real ultrasound radio frequency (RF) data. The results show that the algorithm can provide improved ultrasound imaging performance in terms of the resolution gain. The deconvolved images visually show better resolved tissue structures and reduce speckle, which are confirmed by a medical expert.

description: FDK algorithm is a well-known 3D (three-dimensional) approximate algorithm for CT (computed tomography) image reconstruction and is also known to suffer from considerable artifacts when the scanning cone angle is large. Recently, it has been improved by performing the ramp filtering along the tangential direction of the X-ray source helix for dealing with the large cone angle problem. In this paper, we present an FDK-type approximate reconstruction algorithm for gantry-tilted CT imaging. The proposed method improves the image reconstruction by filtering the projection data along a proper direction which is determined by CT parameters and gantry-tilted angle. As a result, the proposed algorithm for gantry-tilted CT reconstruction can provide more scanning flexibilities in clinical CT scanning and is efficient in computation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated with turbell clock phantom and thorax phantom and compared with FDK algorithm and a popular 2D (two-dimensional) approximate algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better image quality for gantry-tilted CT image reconstruction.

The 19.4% of Detroiters in the disability community share a disproportionate overlap with other marginalized populations, including those with fewer financial resources and racial minorities. People with disabilities are a marginalized group in part because of the exclusion they face due to economic, social, and civic barriers in our ableist system. Lack of access to transportation is a contributing factor to this exclusion, and an accessible and reliable transit system in Detroit is necessary to allow all residents to participate fully in society. We outline the components of an accessible and reliable transportation system in this infographic.

description: As the closest form of government to the people, local authorities have the unique opportunity to address real issues that matter on the ground. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers powerful tools that can improve government efficiency, expand government offerings, enhance community well-being, streamline public services, and make data-informed decisions to improve the quality of life for small and large municipalities. At the same time, local governments often lack the resources and guidance necessary to harness new technologies such as AI safely and effectively. STPP together with the Michigan Municipal League has published a handbook that fills that gap by providing concrete guidelines, best practices, sample applications, and risk assessment strategies that can help kickstart safe and effective AI adoption in local government.

description: Abstract
Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania aethiopica (L.aethiopica) is a significant public health concern in Ethiopia. It is a vector-borne disease. The treatment center in Boru Meda sees a high number of CL patients, many of whom require multiple rounds of treatment. The increasing prevalence of repeat patients poses challenges for both patients and the healthcare system in effectively managing and preventing the disease. Despite this, there is a lack of comprehensive monitoring of the problem of CL and repeat CL cases. In this study, we analyzed demographic and clinical data from CL patients treated at Boru Meda Hospital Leishmaniasis Treatment Centre (LTC) to assess the burden of CL cases after the civil war in the area.
Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted between April and June of the year 2023, focusing on individuals diagnosed with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) within the period spanning from March 2022 to February 2023. The examination primarily involved scrutinizing the registration logbook for fundamental demographic and clinical information. Descriptive statistical methods were employed to elucidate the characteristics of the variables under consideration, while the associations among these variables were evaluated through the application of the chi-square test.
Result: During the study period, 492 out of 40,324 total patients were diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis, resulting in a prevalence rate of 1.22%. Males exhibited a significantly higher incidence of CL compared to females (?2:7; P<0.05), with individuals aged ? 20 years being notably affected by the disease (?2:120; P<0.05). The mean age of patients was 22.59±16.96 years. Approximately one-third of the patients were returning; requiring retreatment.
Conclusion: Overall, this study showed that CL is a major public health problem in North-Central Ethiopia. Due to the civil unrest in the area, the case number increased by nearly threefold. Hence, the mass movement and displacement exposure for a sand fly bite and immunologically naive peoples could be highly affected and possible CL epidemics may arise. One-third of the CL patients were repeat patients (multiple-time comers). This needs further study on the genomic differences and effectiveness of SSG for treating CL and must be curbed as it results in permanent scarring, disfigurement, and stigma. [Ethiop. J.
