Distributed fiber optic strain sensing for structural health monitoring of 70 MPa hydrogen vessels

We report on the development and testing of 70 MPa hydrogen pressure vessels with integrated fiber optic sensing fibers for the automotive use. The paper deals with the condition monitoring of such composite pressure vessels using the optical backscatter reflectometry (OBR) which was applied for a distributed fiber optic strain sensing along fully integrated polyimide-coated single-mode glass optical fiber (SM-GOF). The sensing fibers were embedded into the vessel structure by wrapping them over the inside polymer liner during the manufacturing process of the outside carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Detecting local strain events by the integrated fiber optic sensors might be an opportunity for monitoring the material degradation. Regarding the investigation of the ageing behavior, both ambient hydraulic cycling tests and slow burst tests were conducted on 70 MPa pressure vessels with embedded fiber optic sensors. The achieved results contribute to the knowledge about material fatigue to guarantee the safe usage during the entire lifetime of the composite hydrogen storage vessels. The presented work stands in context of the European Horizon 2020 research project SH2APED focused on the development of an innovative hydrogen storage system composed of an assembly of nine 70 MPa tubular pressure vessels used as an automotive battery pack.

Spesolimab Reduces Inflammation in Generalized Pustular Psoriasis: Molecular Characterization of Flare Treatment in EFFISAYIL 1

EFFISAYIL® 1 was a randomized, placebo-controlled study of spesolimab, an anti-IL-36 receptor antibody, in patients presenting with a generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) flare. Treatment with spesolimab led to more rapid pustular and skin clearance versus placebo in approximately half of the patients. Here we present histologic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses of lesional and non-lesional skin, and whole-blood samples collected from EFFISAYIL® 1. Treatment with spesolimab led to a transition toward a non-lesional profile, with a downregulation of gene expression in the skin of IL-36 transcripts (IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36γ) and those associated with neutrophil recruitment (CXCL1, CXCL6, CXCL8), proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-19, IL-20), and skin inflammation (DEFB4A, S100A7, S100A8). Changes were manifest at Week 1 and sustained to Week 8. At the systemic level, reductions in serum biomarkers of inflammation (IL-17, IL-8, IL-6) were sustained until 12 weeks post-spesolimab treatment. Considerable overlap was observed in the spesolimab-induced changes in gene and protein expression from skin and blood samples, demonstrating the molecular basis of the effects of spesolimab on controlling local and systemic inflammation. Data are consistent with the mode of action of spesolimab, whereby inhibition of the IL-36 pathway leads to subsequent reductions in the key local and systemic pathologic events associated with acute GPP flares.

Comparison of adverse events following the second/third dose of BNT162b2 in a medical institute in Japan

BackgroundVaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are crucial for ending the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Currently, the cumulative effect of booster shots of mRNA vaccines on adverse events is not sufficiently characterized. MethodsA survey-based study on vaccine adverse events was conducted in a Japanese medical institute after the third dose of Pfizer BNT162b2. Adverse events were grouped using network analysis, and a heteroscedastic probit model was built to analyse adverse events. ResultsThere were two main clusters of adverse events, systemic and local injection site-associated events. Subject background and the experience of previous vaccine-related adverse events were variably associated with the occurrence and intensity of adverse events following the third dose. Among adverse events, only lymphadenopathy increased prominently following the third dose, while the largest increase in other systemic adverse events occurred generally following the second dose. ConclusionsThe effect of repeated booster vaccines on the frequency and intensity of adverse events differs depending on the kind of adverse event.

Enteric tuft cells coordinate timely expulsion of the tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta from the murine host by coordinating local but not systemic immunity.

Recognizing that enteric tuft cells can signal the presence of nematode parasites, we investigated whether tuft cells are required for the expulsion of the cestode, Hymenolepis diminuta, from the non-permissive mouse host, and in concomitant anti-helminthic responses. BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice infected with H. diminuta expelled the worms by 11 days post-infection (dpi) and displayed DCLK1+ (doublecortin-like kinase 1) tuft cell hyperplasia in the small intestine (not the colon) at 11 dpi. This tuft cell hyperplasia was dependent on IL-4Rα signalling and adaptive immunity, but not the microbiota. Expulsion of H. diminuta was slowed until at least 14 dpi, but not negated, in tuft cell-deficient Pou2f3-/- mice and was accompanied by delayed goblet cell hyperplasia and slowed small bowel transit. Worm antigen and mitogen evoked production of IL-4 and IL-10 by splenocytes from wild-type and Pou2f3-/- mice was not appreciably different, suggesting similar systemic immune reactivity to infection with H. diminuta. Wild-type and Pou2f3-/- mice infected with H. diminuta displayed partial protection against subsequent infection with the nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri. We speculate that, with respect to H. diminuta, enteric tuft cells are important for local immune events driving the rapidity of H. diminuta expulsion but are not critical in initiating or sustaining systemic Th2 responses that provide concomitant immunity against secondary infection with H. bakeri.

Model Pengembangan Community Based Tourism Desa Jangkaran, Kabupaten Kulon Progo

Community-based tourism (CBT) development grants broader authority to the community to manage their village's potential to enhance the economy and sustainable development. This study aims to find a model for community-based tourism (CBT) development in Jangkaran Village, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, which has the potential for ecotourism, cultural tourism, and agrotourism. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, collecting data through observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and documentation, with the aid of SWOT analysis to determine priority strategies for tourism development in integration with the CBT model. The results show that community participation in managing tourist attractions is quite good, with most mangrove tourism attractions managed by Jangkaran community groups, and the presence of creative economy elements such as local art events, culinary offerings, and unique souvenirs. The challenges faced by Jangkaran tourism stakeholders include development programs and the construction of attractions, amenities, and accessibility, which are still hindered by regulations that do not fully support Jangkaran's tourism development. Based on the SWOT IFAS-EFAS analysis, the strategic position for Jangkaran Village tourism development falls into the SO (Strengths-Opportunities) quadrant, indicating a Competitive Strategy. Gradually, this CBT model can be applied in Jangkaran Village through an institutional collaboration approach, thereby realizing sustainable tourism, creating job opportunities for Jangkaran residents, and strengthening the village and household economy. This study can serve as a guide for Jangkaran Village to further develop tourism direction through careful planning, prioritizing sustainable development principles, and emphasizing community participation in planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

New Anisotropic Cosmic-Ray Enhancement (ACRE) Event on 5 November 2023 Due to Complex Heliospheric Conditions

The variability of galactic cosmic rays near Earth is nearly isotropic and driven by large-scale heliospheric modulation but rarely can very local anisotropic events be observed in low-energy cosmic rays. These anisotropic cosmic-ray enhancement (ACRE) events are related to interplanetary transients. Until now, two such events have been known. Here, we report the discovery of the third ACRE event observed as an increase of up to 6.4% in count rates of high- and midlatitude neutron monitors between ca. 09 – 14 UT on 5 November 2023 followed by a moderate Forbush decrease and a strong geomagnetic storm. This is the first known observation of ACRE in the midrigidity range of up to 8 GV. The anisotropy axis of ACRE was in the nearly anti-Sun direction. Modeling of the geomagnetic conditions implies that the observed increase was not caused by a storm-induced weakening of the geomagnetic shielding. As suggested by a detailed analysis and qualitative modeling using the EUHFORIA model, the ACRE event was likely produced by the scattering of cosmic rays on an intense interplanetary flux rope propagating north of the Earth and causing a glancing encounter. The forthcoming Forbush decrease was caused by an interplanetary coronal mass ejection that hit Earth centrally. A comprehensive analysis of the ACRE and complex heliospheric conditions is presented. However, a full quantitative modeling of such a complex event is not possible even with the most advanced models and calls for further developments.

Description of outcome and adverse events in 21 cats with locally advanced nasal planum squamous cell carcinoma treated with electrochemotherapy.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common tumour in the nasal planum of cats. Surgery has traditionally been the treatment of choice but might not be feasible in locally advanced scenarios. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) has shown good control in superficial tumours, but there is a lack of robust information about efficacy in locally advanced cases. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of ECT in the treatment of locally advanced stage nasal planum SCC in cats. The clinical database of a veterinary referral hospital was searched retrospectively for cats diagnosed with a locally advanced nasal planum SCC (T3N0M0 or T4N0M0) that had received ECT. Local response, adverse events and outcome were documented. The data were evaluated by inferential statistics and correlations between response, recurrence, feline immunodeficiency virus/feline leukaemia virus status, number of treatments, voltage and severity of adverse events, with Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. Statistical significance was set at P <0.05. In total, 21 cats were enrolled over a 4-year period. Nineteen cats achieved a complete response (CR) and two cats a partial response (PR) for an overall response rate of 100%. Cats achieving a CR had a median disease-free interval of 182 days (range 128-327) and those with a PR had a median progression-free survival of 156.5 days (range 122-191). The median time to progression was not reached. The overall survival was 453 days for a median follow-up of 341 days (range 191-989). Of the cats, 62% had grade 3 or 4 toxicities, but no deaths due to the treatment were documented. Only voltage was correlated with longer survival (P = 0.001). ECT appears to be an effective treatment for feline nasal planum SCC and could be considered a first-line therapy for locally advanced cases. Toxicities reported can be severe in the short term and these could be secondary to more invasive lesions and equipment used.

Multi‐Scale Seismic Imaging of the Ridgecrest, CA, Region With Waveform Inversion of Regional and Dense Array Data

AbstractWe develop an inversion procedure for deriving multi‐scale velocity models with waveform inversions of earthquake and ambient noise data at multi‐frequency bands recorded by regional and dense sensor configurations. The method is applied for the area around the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake rupture zones, utilizing data recorded by regional stations and dense 2D and 1D arrays with station spacings of ∼5 km and ∼100 m, respectively. Starting with regional Vp, Vs models and locations of Ridgecrest aftershocks, the velocity models and event locations are improved iteratively by inversions of waveforms recorded by regional stations and the 2D array, using a minimum spectral element size of ∼600 m. Waveforms from local events recorded by dense 1D arrays across the M7.1 rupture zone with frequencies of up to 10 Hz are used to resolve small‐scale features of the rupture zone and shallow crust with a local spectral element size of 80 m. The refined models provide self‐consistent descriptions of the rupture zone and the shallow crust embedded in the regional structures. The results reveal pronounced low Vs and high Vp/Vs in the M6.4 and M7.1 rupture zones coinciding with concentrations of seismicity, and also around the Garlock fault and in several local basins. We also observe clear velocity contrasts across the Garlock fault with polarity reversals along strike and with depth. The obtained multi‐scale velocity models can be used to improve derivations of earthquake source properties, simulations of dynamic ruptures and ground motions, and the understanding of fault and tectonic processes in the region.

Incidence of adverse events of the Covid-19 vaccine in a population of kidney transplant recipients

Introducción: Early published series suggest that most renal transplant recipients remain at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to poor humoral response after vaccination. The aim was to study the occurrence of adverse events after two doses of mRNA-1273 vaccine in a population of renal transplant recipients.Material and Method: Analytical, observational, and prospective study. Subjects were injected with two doses of mRNA-1273 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 according to the schedule established by the laboratory. After injection of each dose, and up to 72 hours later, participants recorded local and/or systemic symptoms and their intensity.Results: 187 patients were included. Eighteen percent of them became infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the pre-vaccination period or between the 1st and 2nd dose. The incidence of adverse events was 91.2%. Of these, the incidence of local (62%) was higher than that of systemic (55%). Past infection was a risk factor for the occurrence of local adverse events after vaccination (OR= 2.4; p=0.045). The same association was detected for systemic adverse events, which were more frequent among those who had passed the disease (OR=3.83; p=0.003).Conclusions: The mRNA-1273 vaccine does not appear to cause serious side effects. The incidence of local and systemic adverse events was higher in those patients with past disease.

Landslide susceptibility mapping using frequency ratio method along the Bhaderwah-Bani Road, Jammu and Kashmir, India

This study outlines a method for landslide susceptibility mapping utilizing remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). Since the terrain from Bhaderwah to Bani in J&amp;K is prone to landslide threats, the study has been conducted there. The purpose of the current study is to determine and identify the significant terrain elements causing landslides. Nine contributing factors on landslides were taken into account throughout the analysis. Thematic data layers are created in the GIS domain based on local events. Topographic maps, satellite images, on-site observations and publicly available published maps are used to gather the landscape data. To determine the standardized scores of criteria expressing their factor of importance for a given decision problem in terms of thematic parameters, categories, and their normalized weights the Frequency ratio (FR) method is used to digitize these maps along with tabular data and to create a GIS database. A particular landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) map was created on a GIS platform by statistically combining weightages from several thematic maps. Using FR, the LSZ map was divided into five separate susceptibility zones. According to the study's finding, 8% of the area is in a very high susceptibility zone, with the remaining 12%, 15%, 23%, and 42% falling into high, moderate, low, and very low susceptibility zones, respectively. The outcomes of the current study might aid policy and decision makers in moving forward with regional development initiatives including land use planning.

“STOP BEING RACIST”: WHAT MALAYSIANS SAY ABOUT RACE ON SOCIAL MEDIA - A THEMATIC ANALYSIS

In recent years, social media platforms, exemplified by X (Twitter), have evolved into pivotal arenas for individuals to connect over shared interests and advocate for important societal issues collectively. This trend has notably surged since GE15, with these platforms serving as dynamic spaces for Malaysians to actively participate in national dialogues spanning social, political, religious, gender, and human rights topics. Through the medium of posts (tweets), these discussions not only spotlight pertinent issues but also unveil the diverse array of Malaysian perspectives. This study employed Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis framework to delve into social media conversations among Malaysians concerning race/ethnicity and its intersections. Utilizing publicly available posts (tweets) from January 1 to June 30, 2023, which were linked to significant local events, the analysis unearthed several salient themes. These include (1) Race and Ethnicity in Malaysian Society, (2) The Political Dimensions of Race, (3) Religious Influence on Politics, (4) Social Harmony and National Identity, (5) Media and Public Discourse, and (6) Human Rights and Equality. Collectively, these themes offer nuanced insights into Malaysia's multifaceted socio-political landscape. Despite the sometimes cursory nature of discussions on X (Twitter), the analysis reveals that these themes not only reflect racial/ethnic biases and perpetuate stereotypes and oppression but also underscore the urgent need for inclusive policies, respectful dialogue, and collective action to nurture harmony and equity within Malaysian society.

Winter Intrusions of Atlantic Water in Kongsfjorden: Oceanic Preconditioning and Atmospheric Triggering

AbstractKongsfjorden, an Arctic fjord in Svalbard, is largely influenced by the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), transporting warm and salty Atlantic Water (AW) into the Arctic region. Despite the geostrophic control preventing AW from entering the fjord in winter, AW intrusions occasionally occur during energetic local wind events in this season. However, recent intrusions remain poorly characterized, and the underlying mechanism(s) and large‐scale precursors are only partly understood. This study uses in‐situ oceanographic and atmospheric measurements, alongside reanalysis data covering 2011–2020, to describe recent wintertime AW intrusions in Kongsfjorden. By discerning common traits in the observed events, the main triggering factors and controls of the phenomenon are described. Our results indicate that AW intrusions are typically triggered by wind reversals over the shelf, consisting of the sudden transition from a strong southerly to a northerly circulation linked to the setup and damping of a high‐pressure anomaly over the Barents Sea. Ocean density is a critical preconditioning factor influencing the nature of the intrusion: when fjord waters exhibit a lower density compared to WSC waters, wind reversals induce AW intrusions by upwelling; in contrast, when fjord waters present higher or similar densities compared to WSC waters, reversals force AW inflows near the surface or at intermediate depths, respectively. Another mechanism was observed only in winter 2014: southerly winds prevailed for 2 months, transporting surface AW from the WSC into the fjord, promoting its intrusion near the surface, on top of denser local waters.

Evaluating the Interaction of Emerging Diseases on White-Tailed Deer Populations Using an Agent-Based Modeling Approach.

Disease co-occurrence in wildlife populations is common yet understudied. In the case of disease-caused mortality, the mortality attributed to one disease has the potential to buffer populations against subsequent alternative disease outbreaks by reducing populations and thus contacts needed to sustain disease transmission. However, substantial disease-driven population declines may also prevent populations from recovering, leading to localized extinctions. Hemorrhagic disease (HD), a vector-transmitted, viral disease in white-tailed deer (WTD), similar to chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease, has increased in frequency and distribution in the United States. However, unlike CWD, which progresses slowly, HD can cause mortality only days after infection. Hemorrhagic disease outbreaks can result in substantial localized mortality events in WTD near vector habitats such as wetlands and may reduce local deer densities and consequent CWD transmission. The objective of our study was to evaluate the potential for HD outbreaks to buffer CWD risk where the diseases co-occur. Using an agent-based modeling approach, we found that frequent, intense HD outbreaks have the potential to mitigate CWD risk, especially if those outbreaks occur shortly after CWD introduction. However, HD outbreaks that do not result in substantial WTD mortality are unlikely to impact CWD or WTD population dynamics. Severe HD outbreaks may reduce CWD cases and could present an opportunity for managers to boost CWD control initiatives in a post-HD outbreak year.

Enigmatic vertebrate swimming trace fossils from the Wapiti Formation, Alberta, Canada, and their implications for paleoenvironmental reconstruction

Vertebrate ichnofossil research, when compared with invertebrate ichnological analyses, tends to put greater emphasis on identifying the trace makers rather than associating the trace fossils with animal behaviors to interpret local paleoenvironmental conditions. In 2011, several sandstone blocks bearing unusual deformational structures were collected from the Wapiti Formation exposed near Red Willow Falls, Alberta, Canada. The sandstone blocks were analyzed for their sedimentary characteristics and the morphology of the enigmatic structures in order to identify their origins and their significance for paleoenvironmental interpretation. The deformational features are interpreted to be the swim tracks of small vertebrates attempting to escape a flash flood event. The sedimentology of the sandstone suggests a rapid increase in water flow in an overbank setting, and the orientation of the traces indicate that the trace maker was initially moving against, and then moving perpendicular to, the current. This is likely the first case of a trace fossil exhibiting clear association between vertebrates and flash flood events. As such, these traces provide an excellent example of the utility of vertebrate trace fossils for assessing organism response to changing environmental conditions, thus facilitating interpretation of local geological events.

Of tuna, godzilla, and the Daigo Fukuryu Maru (Lucky Dragon # 5): nuclear entanglements, a ‘way-sign to peace’, and shifting heritage engagements

ABSTRACT A narrative of the Daigo Fukuryu Maru (Lucky Dragon #5), a Japanese fishing vessel constructed in 1947, is presented to reveal how popular experience and storying connected with the vessel have oscillated amid and are interwoven across the everyday, the unusual, and the extraordinary. The multiple historical and contemporary meanings (inclusive of relations with the global anti-nuclear peace movement), personal/global associations, and institutional care connected with the vessel are used to illustrate the degrees of heritagisation to which the object has been subject and the complexities of fixing heritage significance within dynamic socio-political contexts. By attending to changing relations over 67 years across local and global events and activities, the story of the Daigo Fukuryu Maru works to critique a binary of top-down (authorised, legitimate, official) versus bottom-up (popular, from below, unofficial) processes, practices, and heritage approaches. The making, unmaking, and remaking of the vessel as heritage is a story of entangled official and unofficial heritage work characterised by a futures orientation – specifically the continuous demand for global peace free from nuclear weapons – and a value regime that has been and continues to be open and multiple.

VARGA ZOLTÁN TÖRTÉNÉSZ PROFESSZOR, A KOSSUTH LAJOS TUDOMÁNY EGYETEM 1955-1957 KÖZÖTTI RECTOR MAGNIFICUSA

Zoltán Varga, professor of history, had been the rector of Lajos Kossuth University in a quite controversial period. Although, the easing political tensions following Stalin’s death in the Soviet Union could be felt in Hungary as well, the Communist leadership’s insistence on power has prevented any substantial change. The reform-proposals of the university bodies remained ineffective against the political leadership. The lecturers and students thus assumed a leading role in the local events of the October 1956 revolution in Debrecen. University Rector Zoltán Varga - who was removed from his position by the revolutionary leadership – following the aftermath of the revolution, returned to his post and worked hard to save his colleagues and students from reprisals. However, due to his illness, he resigned from his post in the spring of 1957.

Location matters! Geospatial dynamics of MP responses to Covid‐19 protests in multilevel systems

AbstractIn liberal democracies, protest can serve as a trigger for necessary policy reforms, but it can also be used by a loud minority to advance political goals against the will of the majority. Focusing on such vocal protests in the context of the Covid‐19 pandemic, we investigate the following question: How does the location of protest events affect the likelihood of political engagement with the protests in a multilevel system? Combining social movement literature with studies of issue attention and rhetorical responsiveness, we analyze how German members of parliaments’ (MPs) responses vary using their tweets from the onset of the pandemic to the German federal election in September 2021. Using quantitative text analysis, we measure rhetorical responsiveness to Covid‐19 protests and apply multilevel regression analyses and difference‐in‐differences. We find that more protests lead to more attention; however, MPs respond most strongly to protests within the state they represent. Furthermore, politicians’ level within the German multilevel system affects their attention to these protests, with MPs elected at lower levels of an electoral system responding more to local protest events than MPs elected at higher levels. The results highlight the importance of the location of protests in attracting political attention.

Focus zone model and depth determination based on amplitudes of pP phases

Analysis of difficulties connected with determination of crust tectonics seismic events is defined by rupture process. Detailed analysis showed that a set of first arrivals associated with an event contains arrivals generated on different depths. This indicates the existence of several instrumentally defined cofocuses in the focus zone. Consequently, the location algorithm should pick up several more significant by amplitude of fist arrivals. Then, seismic event depth will define that one rising maximal seismic signal. Investigation shoes – first arrivals may be projected into one point on seismic record even if they are generated at different depths. Thus, one impulse of first arrival may correspond to several depths. Hence appears the principal difficulties to determine depth solely using P phases. Solution of the problem is automated determination of time arrivals of depth phases pP. The last should be generated at a certain depth. The event depth is chosen by maximum value depth phase amplitude. Algorithm uses all records during the calculation process at the same time. Moreover it was revealed that local second events after first arrival have been registered. Second events may have time delays restricted by seconds. Second event impulse amplitude may be more than impulse amplitude of really first arrival at given depth. On the whole, a group of local first arrivals are in the frame of the period of base event impulse.

A mechanism for coastal fog genesis at evening transition

AbstractTransitional changes in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are known to facilitate the onset of terrestrial fog, which is defined as a condition with near‐surface visibility &lt;1 km due to airborne water droplets. In particular, the evening transition from a daytime convective ABL to a night‐time stable ABL provides favorable conditions for fog. This article describes a local fog event observed during the evening transition at a Canadian islet in the north Atlantic known as Sable Island during the “Fog and Turbulence Interactions in the Marine Atmosphere (Fatima)” field campaign. The comprehensive set of data collected using a myriad of instruments covering a wide range of scales allowed identification of a novel mechanism underlying this fog event. Therein an ocean–land discontinuity created a flow regime consisting of several stacked boundary layers, interplay of which produced a thin low‐level cloud that then diffused downward to the surface, causing visibility reduction. This mechanism offers useful insights on the role of boundary layers, stratification, and turbulence in fog genesis over oceanic islands.
