Ignition and growth modeling of the shock initiation of PBX 9502 at −55°C and −196°C

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Gustavsen et al. reported the results of 26 shock initiation experiments using embedded particle velocity gauges on various lots of PBX 9502 (95% TATB/ 5% Kel-F binder) cooled to −55°C. A previously developed Ignition and Growth reactive flow model for −55°C PBX 9502 was compared to this newer data and was modified slightly. More recently, Hollowell et al. published similar data on PBX 9502 cooled to −196°C (+77K) with liquid nitrogen. An Ignition and Growth (I&G) model parameter set for −196°C PBX 9502 was developed and yielded good agreement with the measured shock initiation process and transition to detonation. Hollowell et al. also measured the interface particle velocity histories between the detonating PBX 9502 charges and various windows (PMMA, Kel-F, and LiF) placed at the rear PBX 9502 surfaces. This detonation data was accurately calculated using the −196°C PBX 9502 I&G parameters.
Incidental Severe Fatty Degeneration of the Erector Spinae in a Patient with L5–S1 Disc Extrusion Diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R2 Dysferin-Related

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R2 dysferin-related (LGMD R2 dysferin-related), a phenotype of dysferlinopathy, usually begins with pelvic girdle weakness. A 35-year-old male presented with right leg pain for 2 weeks without a previous history of limb weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine showed disc extrusion at L5–S1 and incidental severe fatty degeneration of the lumbar erector spinae. Physical examination demonstrated no definite limb weakness. Serum creatine kinase levels were elevated. Genetic testing using a targeted gene-sequencing panel identified compound heterozygous variants NM_003494.3(DYSF) c.[1284+2T>C]; [5303G>A]. Computed tomography revealed fatty degeneration of lower-limb muscles, which was mild in the adductor muscles and severe in the gluteus minimus. Immunohistochemistry staining of the vastus lateralis showed under-expression of dysferlin. This patient was diagnosed with LGMD R2 dysferin-related. Thus, unusual fatty degeneration of the lumbar paraspinalis can be a manifestation of dysferlinopathy.
Partial Discharge Detection and Localization of Simulated Cable System

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents the partial discharge detection and localization of degraded insulation within standard test objects and simulated power cable rated 6.2/7 kV. To verify a performance of on-line partial discharge diagnosis tool, the HFCT was used to compare with an off-line measurement tool based on IEC60270 standard. The Time Domain Reflectometry was also applied for partial discharge localization to identify partial discharge position of the simulated cable system in abnormal condition of insulation. The results show a good performance of on-line measurement tool. The methods for both partial discharge detection and localization are suitable for on-line condition monitoring. They can detect very small defects in the insulation, on time maintenance and repair, prevent failure and destruction, and prolong life expectancy of underground cable system.
1.63kW monolithic continuous-wave single-mode fiber laser oscillator

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We demonstrate a monolithic continuous wave(CW)fiber laser oscillator,producing ~1.63 kW laser power at 1080 nm.In our experiment,the monolithic laser oscillator was pumped by 7fiberpigtailed laser diodes with the maximum output power of~300 W.The operating wavelengths of all these pump laser diodes are near 976 nm,enabling a short laser cavity(~27m)to effectively suppress the stimulated Raman scattering(SRS).The laser spectrum with the maximum output power has a signal to noise ratio(SNR)more than 40 dB.In addition,the fiber coiling technique was adopted to effectively depress the high-order laser modes to obtain the single mode beam quality(M21.1)at the maximum output laser power.The optical to optical conversion efficiency of the monolithic laser oscillator with respect to the launched pump power is as high as~75.46%.The laser oscillator kept running for an hour at the maximum output power.No power roll-over was observed and power fluctuation lower than 1% was achieved.The all fiber construction of the laser oscillator enables compact size,maintenance-free,robust operation and thus allows various practical applications in industry material processing,such as laser cutting,laser drilling,laser clamping,laser welding,etc.

Atrial natriuretic factor in Dahl rats. Atrial content and renal and aortic responses.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Inbred Dahl salt-sensitive rats had a higher content of atrial natriuretic factor by bioassay in their atria than did inbred Dahl salt-resistant rats. This finding was true both in young 1- to 2-month-old rats, when blood pressure differences between strains were small, and in 7-month-old rats, when blood pressure differences were marked. Atria from salt-sensitive rats had more atrial natriuretic factor than did atria from salt-resistant rats when the rats were fed either low (0.3% NaCl) or high (8% NaCl) salt diet, but a high salt diet suppressed the atrial content of atrial natriuretic factor equally in both strains. In young, prehypertensive salt-sensitive rats, intravenous injections of atrial natriuretic factor caused significantly less natriuresis and diuresis than in salt-resistant rats (p less than 0.05). As the rats aged and salt-sensitive rats became markedly hypertensive, the strain responses to atrial natriuretic factor were reversed, that is, the salt-sensitive rats became more sensitive to atrial natriuretic factor than did the salt-resistant rats. Aortic vascular smooth muscle response to contraction with KCl was equally inhibited in both strains by atrial extracts or atriopeptin II. Thus, the salt-sensitive rat renal hyporesponsiveness to atrial natriuretic factor was not associated with a generalized hyporesponsiveness of vascular tissue to atrial natriuretic factor. It is argued that salt-sensitive rats could have two defects relating to atrial natriuretic factor, one involving hyporesponsive kidneys and another involving decreased release of atrial natriuretic factor from the atria.
Gut Microbiota and Bile Acid Metabolism in the Mechanism of Ginsenoside Re Against Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism play crucial roles in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Early evidence demonstrates that Ginsenoside Re (Re) possesses pharmacological effects on NAFLD, but its mechanisms of action are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the hepatic protective effects of Re in NAFLD and elucidate relevant mechanisms. The effects of Re treatments (10, 20, or 40 mg/kg) against high‐fat diet‐induced NAFLD were initially tested on male C57BL/6 mice. Then, a separate mouse group received Re with or without antibiotics to confirm the regulatory role of microbiota in the effect of Re. Finally, another group of mice received fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from the initial experiment of NAFLD mice to further investigate the mechanistic role of gut microbiota. Re significantly improved liver function by reducing hepatic lipid accumulation, injury and hepatocyte steatosis, and inflammation. The liver protection was mediated by the regulation of gut microbiota as evidenced by restored intestinal barrier integrity, normalized Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio, enhanced abundances of Adlercreutzia equolifaciens , and reduced Faecalibaculum rodentium . Following that, Re reduced total and primary bile acids and downregulated bile acid synthesis genes and proteins such as farnesoid X receptor and cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1. The co‐administration of antibiotic cocktail counteracted the effect of Re against NAFLD. Further, the results obtained from the FMT animal study confirmed that Re's liver protective effects were at least partly driven by the regulation of gut microbiota. Re modulated bile salt hydrolase‐related microbial genera to alter bile acid synthesis pathways, thereby inhibiting NAFLD progression.
The Influence of Transformational Leadership on Change Management of the NTB Mall Virtual Team Mediated by Organizational Culture

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Considering the importance of responding to developments in globalization and virtual business trends, this research looks at transformational leadership in its influence on the change management of the NTB Mall virtual team which is mediated by organizational culture. This research is quantitative with a sample of 51 respondents through the distribution of questionnaires. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS software and descriptive analysis was carried out on the test result data. The research results show that transformational leadership does not significantly influence virtual team change management, transformational leadership has a positive and significant influence on organizational culture. Organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on virtual team change management, and organizational culture significantly mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and virtual team change management. Research on transformational leadership and its influence on virtual team change management through organizational culture has never been conducted in NTB, further research using organizational culture as a mediation of transformational leadership on virtual team change management has not been conducted in Indonesia, it is hoped that the research findings can be developed by further researchers by testing variables other than transformational leadership in examining its influence on organizational culture, and NTB Mall is expected to review transformational leadership in its influence on virtual team management.
SH0805146.10FU

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

Mobility in an Imagined Global Knowledge Space: Chinese STEM Undergraduates’ Decision to Study in Europe

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper examines how the “imagined global knowledge space” influences the mobility of Chinese STEM students in Europe, based on interviews with 28 participants. It finds that, firstly, Chinese students perceive a diverse global knowledge landscape, acknowledging China's rapid progress and questioning the traditional “center-periphery” model. Secondly, students’ views on the global knowledge space vary by their exposure to this space, career plans, and disciplinary background, impacting their motivations to study abroad-whether knowledge-seeking, pedagogical, or consumer-oriented. Thirdly, this study finds that Chinese STEM students in Europe view destination choices through a triadic “US/Europe/other countries” perspective, moving beyond the traditional “center-periphery” dualism model. With rising geopolitical tensions between China and the US, Europe emerges as a favorable alternative for education. The findings highlight that students’ study-abroad decisions are shaped not by fixed global structures but by subjective, imagination-based perceptions of the global knowledge space.
Cytochromebsequence divergence in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and phylogenetic relationships among some Perciformes species

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The entire cytochrome b (cyt b) gene has been sequenced in eight Mediterranean populations of the European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax and in one of D. punctatus. Our data indicate that both eastern (Greece and Egypt) and northwestern (French coast) populations of D. labrax were genetically differentiated from the Tyrrhenian ones, which were nearly indistinguishable from each other at the cyt b level. The D. labrax population from the Atlantic coast (Portugal) was genetically quite distinct from all the Mediterranean ones. These results strongly confirm the conclusions from previous studies where the same populations were screened for allozymes, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop variation. Seven other species of Perciformes belonging to five different families (Sparidae, Serranidae, Carangidae, Pomatomidae, Sciaenidae) were sequenced to explore the usefulness of the cyt b gene for inferring evolutionary relationships at different hierarchical levels. The data were analysed together with other published cyt b sequences from Perciformes fishes. Our data suggest thar the superfamily Percoidea is not monophyletic. At the family level, the Sparidae and Moronidae seem to be monophyletic. The evolutionary relationships among families were not resolved. Possible causes for this lack of resolution are discussed.
The efficacy of specific patterns of movements and brain exercises on the cognitive performance of healthy senior citizen in Jakarta

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

\nThe objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of brain movement and exercise in healthy senior subjects. Brain movement and exercise or Gerak dan Latih Otak (GLO) which comprised of muscles stretching, breathing exercise, and crossing the body’s midline of the eyes, head and extremities were performed two times weekly for two months by 70 normal healthy senior subjects. A pre- and posttest on 5 cognitive performance, consisted of visual scanning and tracking (VST), delayed recall (DR), verbal fluency (VF), digits backward (DB), and trail making test-B (TMT-B). The age range of the subjects was 48 to 70 years and duration of education ranged from 6 to 18 years or more. The results of the statistical analyses showed that all the subjects showed high significant increase performance on the five cognitive domains. Women performed significantly in all the tests, while in men the significant increase was on VST, DR, and TMT-B. No different significant increase cognitive performance could be obtained between the two age groups (below 60 years and 60 years upward) and level of education, except for the high education group. It is suggested that further studies with larger scale subjects and same methodology should be performed in several places in Indonesia.

Equivalent Relationship between Flood Prevention Storage of Cascade Reservoirs in the Downstream Jinsha River and Three Gorges Reservoir

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The equivalent relationships between flood prevention storage of a cascade reservoir system provide useful information for real-time operation. However, those relationships are implicitly hinted at in the optimized operation rules of downstream reservoirs, which may add difficultly in providing feasible operation strategies for engineering practice. In this study, we investigate the equivalent relationship between cascade reservoirs using a flood regional composition-based framework coupled with reservoir inflow and river flow routing techniques. We select the cascade reservoirs in the downstream Jinsha River and Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) as the case study. Results reveal that (1) the equivalent relationship between flood prevention storage of cascade reservoirs in the downstream Jinsha River and TGR is approximately linear-related; (2) the conversion coefficient of equivalent relationship depends on the flood type, and the intercept term of equivalent relationship is mainly influenced by the design flood frequency; and (3) the TGR flood prevention storage (or water level) can be dynamically adjusted according to the corresponding reserved flood prevention storage of cascade reservoirs in the downstream Jinsha River, which can generate 3.56 billion kW·h (+8.5%) extra hydropower during flood season without increasing flood control risks.
Nutritive value of cereals in feeds for common carp

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Four isonitrogenous (gross protein content 32%) and isoenergetic (gross energy content 4 080 kcal/kg) diets were prepared by extrusion to investigate the effects of different cereal grains (barley - diet A, wheat - diet B, triticale - diet C, rye - diet D) as carbohydrate compounds of extruded feeds for carp. The physical and chemical properties of the feeds were established. A 60-day growth test was performed in experimental ponds of 40 m2 area. Each diet was fed to three groups of fish (initial average weight 200 ± 10 g). The following rearing effectiveness indices were used in the final evaluation of the growth test: weight gain (WG, %), specific growth rate (SGR, %/d), food conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and protein retention (PR, %). Conclusions were based on statistical analysis using the Statistica 5.0 package. The results obtained in the growth test did not show any differences in the evaluated feeds regarding their usefulness in the nutrition of carp (there were no statistically significant differences in the values of fish rearing parameters, P ≤ 0.05). The recorded growth parameters of carp were as follows: WG: 308.48-324.0%; SGR: 2.81-2.92%/d; the feed conversion coefficients were: FCR: 1.43-1.50; PER: 1.75-1.83; PR: 29.54-31.72%.
End-to-end Delay Analysis for Event-driven Wireless Sensor Network Applications

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The end-to-end delay is one of the most critical and fundamental issues for wireless sensor networks. Many applications of sensor networks require an end-to-end delay guarantee for time sensitive data. However, the end-to-end delay is difficult to bound for event-driven sensor networks, where nodes generate and propagate data only when an event of interest occurs, thereby producing unpredictable traffic load. Meanwhile, the end-to-end delay is tightly banded with many other factors, e.g., energy and network capacity. In this dissertation proposal, we analyze the quantitative relation among the end-to-end delay, the probability of guaranteeing this delay, and network parameters for event-driven sensor networks. We consider two sub-delays of the end-to-end delay, i.e., detection delay and queuing delay, based on a two-phase model. This two-phase model includes an event observation phase and a data propagation phase. We use target tracking as the example of an event-driven wireless sensor network application. For the event observation phase, we present a target prediction and sleep scheduling scheme, called TPSS, to reduce the energy consumption, while satisfying the given delay constraint. Wireless sensor nodes are typically in the sleep state most of the time to prolong the network
