Numerical model of changes in current patterns due to reclamation around the Mireng River estuary, Gresik

Abstract The Mireng River is in Gresik Regency and empties into the Madura Strait. Around the mouth of the Mireng River, two industrial areas require construction facilities through reclamation. The consequences of reclamation will cause phenomena due to the interaction of marine and environmental dynamics, which can change current patterns, wave heights, and sedimentation processes, affecting the surrounding environment. This study explicitly discusses the changes in flow patterns that occur due to reclamation. The investigation was performed using numerical model simulations with Delft 3D software. The model results show the movement pattern and current speed during the highest and lowest low tides. There was a change in the average flow speed to 0.18 m/s around the reclamation area due to flow obstruction due to reclamation. This condition has the potential for sedimentation to occur in the area. Therefore, mitigation efforts are needed to reduce this impact.

The Chinese Freshwater Jellyfish Unbound

Jellyfish are commonly known as dangerous sea creatures that humans should avoid. Focusing on the newly discovered freshwater jellyfish in the late nineteenth century, this article explores a global history of Craspedacusta sowerbii, a species native to China first noted in nineteenth-century Britain but since traveling the world over. The worldwide distribution of C. sowerbii, as both polyps and medusae, made it a global subject of scientific inquiry. However, no independent study has examined the history behind the origin, circulation, and implication of the freshwater jellyfish and its relationship with marine types. The late nineteenth century was the period when our premodern knowledge of jellyfish transformed from it being purely a marine life to the modern recognition of jellyfish as both marine and freshwater organisms, triggered by the discovery and discussion of the Chinese freshwater jellyfish C. sowerbii among naturalists and philosophers. This article focuses on Arthur de Carle Sowerby’s engagement with C. sowerbii in terms of narratives of evolution, nomenclature, and bioinvasion between 1880 and 1941. I argue that jellyfish, as a lowly form of invertebrates, should be taken more seriously by historians of modern China and historians of biology who are interested in the diverse roles of animals in shaping human–animal interactions in the Anthropocene. While the scientific research of jellyfish’s global bloom abounds, the interpretation of the global rise of jellyfish could benefit from a historically and culturally bound analysis of this classical animal. This is particularly so as scientists recognized the diverse perceptions of jellyfish. The global jellyfish bloom requires historical perspectives on a topic that has hitherto received scant attention from historians of science.

The research results show that the character of Ne Zha in 『Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child』 retains traditional features while modernizing to breathe new life into the character. Secondly, by adopting Disney's character design strategies and actively utilizing 3D graphic technology, the character's details were enhanced, breaking away from traditional character images. Thirdly, the traditional character was adapted to fit modern social backgrounds, providing audiences with a strong sense of immersion. It is hoped that this study will serve as a basic reference for creators and researchers who aim to produce animations based on traditional mythological IPs.

중국 단편 수묵 애니메이션 <구스 마운틴>(2023)의 주제 표현에 대한 연구

Since the 1990s, traditional Chinese ink animation has declined due to its complexity, lack of entertainment value, and high production costs. Although digital technology has been introduced to innovate, there remains the problem of the pictorial nature of ink painting being sacrificed for the spatiotemporal characteristics of animation. Therefore, this paper explores human desire and nature through the character portrayal and mountain shaping in Goose Mountain. The director combines the traditional ink painting technique of “Cunfa (皴法),” Western sketching, the characteristics of the French Left Bank cinema movement, and the theory of “Breaking the Fourth Wall” to portray the characters. In doing so, Goose Mountain inherits the tradition of the “Chinese Animation School” while adapting to the development of the digital age, embracing Western film and animation techniques, and reflecting the creative ideology of “using Chinese essence with Western methods.” Through this ideology, Goose Mountain maintains the unique traditional aesthetics of Chinese ink animation—“the integration of virtual and real (虚实相生)”—while achieving a strong visual effect. As a result, Goose Mountain balances various artistic styles, reflecting the modern human condition of “worrying about gain and loss before obtaining something, and worrying about losing it after obtaining it.” Ultimately, it conveys the lesson that “life is like a rootless plant, drifting like dust on the road.” Based on this theme, this paper presents a viable visual strategy for the modern entertainment market while inheriting the culture of traditional Chinese ink painting.

Synthesis, Characterization, Investigation of DNA Interactions and Biological Evaluation of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes with Newly Synthesized 2-methoxy 5-trifluoromethyl benzenamine Schiff Base.

The biologically active and thermally stable bivalent Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes (C1, C2, C3, and C4) of novel Schiff base ligand [(5-trifluoromethyl-2-methoxyphenylamino)methyl)-4,6-diiodophenol (L)] have been synthesized. The structural analysis of these complexes have been carried out by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, FTIR, ESI mass, UV-visible, ESR, TGA techniques and magnetic measurements. The obtained results were confirmed as square planar geometry for Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes, whereas octahedral geometry for Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes. The geometry optimized structures were developed by employing CHEM 3D software. The DNA binding interaction studies such as UV-vis absorption, viscosity, and fluorescence studies have been confirmed that the mode of binding of complexes with DNA is an intercalative binding. The DNA cleavage studies revealed that all the complexes are found to be potent to cleave the DNA into Form I & II. The in-vitro pathological studies of all the complexes against various microbial strains (Gram + and Gram -), revealed that Cu(II) complexes are more potent compared to other complexes and Schiff base. The anti diabetic activity studies revealed that the Cu(II) complex exhibited slightly higher activity than Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes. The results of antioxidant activity by DPPH method, suggested that the Cu(II) complex has higher activity and comparable with the standard compounds.

Development of Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System in the Form of Vertical Barriers: Effectiveness and Perspective

This paper discusses the concept of geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) systems, characterized by new principles of action, to reduce seismic loads on buildings. The advantages and disadvantages of GSIs and their environmental and economic reliability are analyzed. The aim of the study is to develop a geotechnical seismic isolation system in the form of vertical barriers, using a rubber–soil mixture (RSM). The novelty of the work lies in the definition of effective structural and technical solutions of vertical seismic barriers made of RSM, characterized by reliability in providing seismic isolation. The ground and superstructure interactions are modeled in PLAXIS 2D software from 2021, using the finite element method, using the accelerogram of the Kobe and Northridge earthquakes. The results confirm the positive impact of using an RSM as an effective GSI geometrical. The results show that the GSI system using an RSM reduces horizontal accelerations by 60%. Significant acceleration reductions of 40–60% are also observed when the thickness and depth of GSI seismic barriers are increased. The results of the study contribute to the substantiation of methodology and scientific and technical efficiency of geotechnical seismic isolation as an economically favorable design alternative to the traditional seismic isolation system.

할리우드 상업 애니메이션 속 사회의제 표현 분석 - 브래드 버드 감독의 <아이언 자이언트>(1999)를 중심으로

Unlike Live-action Hollywood movies Hollywood animation movies have rarely expressed social agenda because they have been produced primarily for family audiences. In 1999, a feature animation directed by Brad Bird, “The Iron Giant” was released by a big studio, Warner Brothers. The director conveyed the strong message of humanity through the friendship between a lonely boy and a robot, created as a war machine and embodied it in beautifully animated images. This film expressing serious social agenda has been considered a classic masterpiece despite its box office failure. By studying the directing intention of this classic animation that emotionally expresses heavy social agenda, I hope to contribute to the advancement of the somewhat stagnant Korean feature animation industry for its the diversification of subject-matters.

Development of a virtual surgical plan for reverse shoulder arthroplasty as a treatment for complex proximal humerus fracture in an elderly patient

IntroductionFracture reduction, implant selection and tuberosity reattachment propose significant challenges in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs). It is hypothesised that preoperative virtual surgical planning (VSP) can improve implant positioning and tuberosity reattachment, resulting in better functional outcomes, reduced surgery time, and decreased complication risk. Therefore, this study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a VSP protocol for RSA in complex PHFs. MethodsThe VSP protocol is developed using 3D medical image processing software based on CT scans from four previously treated patients with RSA for complex PHF. Next, the VSP was applied prospectively in a patient with a PHF planned for RSA. Evaluation was done using an expert opinion questionnaire evaluating surgical confidence, a comparison between implant positioning on postoperative radiographs and the VSP, functional outcomes and the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS). ResultsThe study showed that VSP is a useful preoperative tool to optimize clinical outcome by digital fracture reduction, determination of surgical cuts, calculating implant size and height, and optimising tuberosity shape and reattachment. After two and six months, the patient showed good functional outcomes (OSS: 48/48 points), healing of tuberosities, and had minimal pain complaints. ConclusionVSP for RSA in PHF might create a more thorough preoperative understanding of the fracture pattern and implant and fracture fragment placement. Further investigative study would be required to demonstrate this.

Liver-on-a-Chip Integrated with Label-Free Optical Biosensors for Rapid and Continuous Monitoring of Drug-Induced Toxicity.

Drug toxicity assays using conventional 2D static cultures and animal studies have limitations preventing the translation of potential drugs to the clinic. The recent development of organs-on-a-chip platforms provides promising alternatives for drug toxicity/screening assays. However, most studies conducted with these platforms only utilize single endpoint results, which do not provide real-time/ near real-time information. Here, a versatile technology is presented that integrates a 3Dliver-on-a-chip with a label-free photonic crystal-total internal reflection (PC-TIR) biosensor for rapid and continuous monitoring of the status of cells. This technology can detect drug-induced liver toxicity by continuously monitoring the secretion rates and levels of albumin and glutathione S-transferase α (GST-α) of a 3D liver on-a-chip model treated with Doxorubicin. The PC-TIR biosensor is based on a one-step antibody functionalization with high specificity and a detection range of 21.7ngmL-1 to 7.83 x 103ngmL-1 for albumin and 2.20ngmL-1 to 7.94 x 102ngmL-1 for GST-α. This approach provides critical advantages for the early detection of drug toxicity and improved temporal resolution to capture transient drug effects. The proposed proof-of-concept study introduces a scalable and efficient plug-in solution for organ-on-a-chip technologies, advancing drug development and in vitro testing methods by enabling timely and accurate toxicity assessments.

Separate and Reassemble: Generative AI through the lens of art and media histories

AI image generation represents a logical evolution from early digital media algorithms, starting with basic paint programs in the 1970s and advancing to sophisticated 3D graphics and media creation software by the 1990s. Early algorithms struggled to simulate materials and effects, but advances in the 1970s and 1980s led to realistic simulations of natural phenomena and artistic techniques. Generative AI continues this trend, using neural networks to combine and interpolate visual patterns from extensive datasets. This method of digital media creation underscores the modular and discrete nature of computer-generated imagery, distinguishing it from traditional optical media.

Advanced strategies in 3D bioprinting for vascular tissue engineering and disease modelling using smart bioinks

ABSTRACT Advanced three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology enables the precise production of complex vascular structures and biomimetic models, driving advancements in tissue engineering and disease mechanism research. At the core of this technology is smart bioink, which is suitable for fabricating biomimetic models that can be vascularised to meet the property requirements of various tissues. Examples of smart bioinks include decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), photocrosslinkable, reversible, and microgel-based biphasic (MB) bioinks, whose mechanical properties can be tuned through external stimuli. This tuning helps generate high-resolution and complex-shaped vascular networks essential for cell survival and functional maturation. This review explores advanced 3D bioprinting strategies using smart bioinks for spatially controlled and perfusable vascular in vitro models, emphasising the reconstruction of functional vascular structures within 3D bioprinted models. It also discusses challenges and future prospects, suggesting that 3D bioprinted models could serve as alternatives to traditional animal models for disease modelling and drug screening.

Yeast Proteins: Proteomics, Extraction, Modification, Functional Characterization, and Structure: A Review.

Proteins are essential for human tissues and organs, and they require adequate intake for normal physiological functions. With a growing global population, protein demand rises annually. Traditional animal and plant protein sources rely heavily on land and water, making it difficult to meet the increasing demand. The high protein content of yeast and the complete range of amino acids in yeast proteins make it a high-quality source of supplemental protein. Screening of high-protein yeast strains using proteomics is essential to increase the value of yeast protein resources and to promote the yeast protein industry. However, current yeast extraction methods are mainly alkaline solubilization and acid precipitation; therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly techniques. In addition, the functional properties of yeast proteins limit their application in the food industry. To improve these properties, methods must be selected to modify the secondary and tertiary structures of yeast proteins. This paper explores how proteomic analysis can be used to identify nutrient-rich yeast strains, compares the process of preparing yeast proteins, and investigates how modification methods affect the function and structure of yeast proteins. It provides a theoretical basis for solving the problem of inadequate protein intake in China and explores future prospects.
