Observation of heat pumping effect by radiative shuttling

Heat shuttling phenomenon is characterized by the presence of a non-zero heat flow between two bodies without net thermal bias on average. It was initially predicted in the context of nonlinear heat conduction within atomic lattices coupled to two time-oscillating thermostats. Recent theoretical works revealed an analog of this effect for heat exchanges mediated by thermal photons between two solids having a temperature dependent emissivity. In this paper, we present the experimental proof of this effect using systems made with composite materials based on phase change materials. By periodically modulating the temperature of one of two solids we report that the system akin to heat pumping with a controllable heat flow direction. Additionally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of a simultaneous modulation of two temperatures to control both the strength and direction of heat shuttling by exploiting the phase delay between these temperatures. These results show that this effect is promising for an active thermal management of solid-state technology, to cool down solids, to insulate them from their background or to amplify heat exchanges.

Methods for negating the impact of zinc contamination to allow characterization of positive allosteric modulators of glycine receptors.

Zinc is a ubiquitous contaminant in many buffers, purified products and common labware that has previously been suggested to impact on the results of functional GlyR studies and may inadvertently cause the effectiveness of some GlyR modulators to be over-estimated. This could greatly impact the assessment of potential drug-candidates and contribute to the reduced effectiveness of compounds that reach clinical stages. This is especially true for GlyR modulators being developed for pain therapeutics due to the changes in spinal zinc concentrations that have been observed during chronic pain conditions. In this study we use two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiology to evaluate the metal chelators tricine and Ca-EDTA, and show that tricine produces inhibitory effects at GlyRα1 that are not mediated by zinc. We also utilized the zinc insensitive W170S mutation as a tool to validate metal chelators and confirm that zinc contamination has not impacted the examination of lipid modulators previously developed by our lab. This study helps to further develop methods to negate the impact of contaminating zinc in functional studies of GlyRs which should be incorporated into future studies that seek to characterize the activity of novel modulators at GlyRs.

A Virtual Reality Environment Based on Infrared Thermography for the Detection of Multiple Faults in Kinematic Chains

Kinematic chains are crucial in numerous industrial settings, playing a key role in various processes. Over recent years, several methods have been developed to monitor and maintain these systems effectively. One notable method is the analysis of infrared thermal images, which serves as a non-invasive and effective approach for identifying various electromechanical issues. Additionally, Virtual Reality (VR) is a burgeoning technology that, despite its limited use in industrial contexts, offers a cost-effective and accessible solution for the training and education of industrial workers on specialized engineering subjects. Nevertheless, most virtual environments are based on numerical simulations. This paper presents the design and development of a Virtual Reality training module for the detection of fourteen electromechanical fault cases in a kinematic chain. The VR training tool developed is based on actual thermographic data derived from experiments conducted on an authentic kinematic chain. During these experiments, thermal images were captured using an low-cost infrared sensor. The thermographic images were processed by calculating the histogram and fifteen statistical indicators, which served to differentiate fault cases in the VR application. A comprehensive evaluation was carried out with a group of vocational students specialized in electrical and automation installations to determine the effectiveness and practicality of the VR training module.

Embedding a novel phenology model into the Common Land Model for improving the modeling of land-atmosphere fluxes

Land surface models (LSMs) are essential tools for simulating the energy and momentum exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere. The vegetation phenology module, a pivotal component of LSMs, reflects the feedback of vegetation to climate variations. However, the vegetation phenology module in several LSMs, such as the Common Land Model (CoLM), face challenges concerning its rationality. Currently, the original satellite phenology mode in CoLM, which uses satellite-based leaf area index (LAI) data directly and statically, constrains the model's ability to accurately represent complex and dynamic ecosystem processes. In this study, we embedded a dynamic vegetation phenology model into CoLM, serving as a novel phenology module. We conducted an extensive comparison of the effects of various phenology modules on CoLM, focusing on their performance in the modeling of gross primary productivity (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) at both site and global scales. Results demonstrate an improvement in CoLM for modeling GPP and ET following the integration of the novel phenology module. Specifically, the Pearson's correlation coefficient for GPP increased by 1.29 % to 33.74 %, and for ET by 0.32 % to 7.47 % on a site scale. Furthermore, on a global scale, when compared with global reference datasets, the CoLM embedded with the novel phenology module successfully captures the spatiotemporal distribution of GPP and ET, and its performance is closer to the reference data than that of the CoLM with the original satellite phenology mode. This study highlights the importance of vegetation phenology in LSMs and its potential to improve the modeling of dynamic interactions between vegetation processes and environmental changes within LSMs.

(076) IMPACT OF AN ONLINE EDUCATION INTERVENTION ON HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS' SELF-EFFICIENCY FOR ASSESSMENT AND CARE OF CLIENTS EXPERIENCING FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION

Abstract Introduction In the United States, nearly half of all women will report having at least one type of female sexual dysfunction at any given point in their lives. Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is defined as a disturbance in sexual desire, psychophysiological changes that characterize the sexual response cycle, and marked sexual distress and interpersonal difficulty. Most women feel their healthcare provider should discuss their sexual concerns, yet few report being asked or screened about their sexual health. Women may seek care to address their sexual health concerns because sexual concerns can affect their quality of life. Objective The specific aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an online educational intervention about female sexual dysfunction on the knowledge and self-efficacy of healthcare providers. Methods The project is a single-arm effectiveness study that used a pre-test/post-test design, aiming to improve self-efficacy of physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse-midwives who provide gynecological care. Participants were recruited via convenience and snowball sampling. The participants provided demographic and pre-test data before viewing the educational intervention and completed the post-test immediately following. Results Forty-three participants completed responses to the entire questionnaire, including pre and post-test. The majority of participants identified as female (91%), Caucasian (51%), nurse practitioners (81%) providing gynecological care for 6-15 years (53%) and live in the South (58%). Following the intervention, participants demonstrated a significant increase in confidence in their ability to communicate about sex with older adults (p < 0.001, d 0.51) and with those who have differing sexuality from their own (p <0.00, d 0.53). There was an increase in confidence in the knowledge to care for patients with religious/spiritual convictions about sexuality (p < 0.006, d 0.40) and sexual problems related to a medical, pharmacological, or surgical treatment (p < 0.009, d 0.38). Participants reported fewer learning needs following the educational module with a moderate to large effect size across different competencies. Conclusions Educating health care providers using an online educational module may lead to more confidence in the healthcare providers’ communication with, knowledge of, and attitudes related to female sexual concerns. Healthcare providers can provide the necessary support and care for the women they serve by educating themselves to properly obtain sexual health history screening, physical exams, diagnoses, and treatment options. Online educational modules have enhanced healthcare providers' knowledge on various topics. The results of this study can be useful in creating education for healthcare providers in caring for FSD. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term effect of online education modules on the screening of female sexual dysfunction, attitudes and behaviors, effect on the self-efficacy of healthcare providers.

Ethnopedagogy-based Thematic Modules to Improve the Understanding and Cultural Literacy of Elementary School Students

The decline in students' local cultural knowledge and the decline in the level of understanding of students' concepts in thematic learning are problems that need to be overcome. This study aimed to develop a thematic learning module based on ethnopedagogy to enhance understanding and cultural literacy of the fifth-grade elementary school students. This research utilized an R&D method adopting the ADDIE model, which consisted of five stages (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The instrument used to collect data in this study was a questionnaire. This questionnaire was given to several experts, such as the design experts, material experts, and language experts, to see the feasibility of the module as well as the teachers’ and students’ responses to see the practicality of the module. Then, a test and a questionnaire were administered to examine the effect of the ethnopedagogy-based thematic learning module on students' understanding and cultural literacy. The data were then analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the module was analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova). This study suggested that the ethnopedagogy-based thematic learning module fulfilled the very feasible criteria with an average score of 93.61% from the design validator, 93.26% from the material validator, and 91% from the language validator. Furthermore, from the response given by the teachers, a score of 92.65% was obtained with a very attractive category. Then, the small-scale trial conducted on students obtained a score of 96.67% with a very attractive category. Apart from that, the thematic learning module based on ethnopedagogy was also able to improve the understanding and cultural literacy of the fifth-grade elementary school students, as proven by the results of the product effectiveness test using the Manova test which obtained a significance value of 0.00 < 0.05.

Effect of an endothelial regulatory module on plasma proteomics in exercising horses

Elite performing exercise requires an intricate modulation of the blood pressure to support the working muscles with oxygen. We have previously identified a genomic regulatory module that associates with differences in blood pressures of importance for elite performance in racehorses. This study aimed to determine the effect of the regulatory module on the protein repertoire. We sampled plasma from 12 Coldblooded trotters divided into two endothelial regulatory module haplotype groups, a sub-elite performing haplotype (SPH) and an elite performing haplotype (EPH), each at rest and exercise. The haplotype groups and their interaction were interrogated in two analyses, i) individual paired ratio analysis for identifying differentially abundant proteins of exercise (DAPE) and interaction (DAPI) between haplotype and exercise, and ii) unpaired ratio analysis for identifying differentially abundant protein of haplotype (DAPH). The proteomics analyses revealed a widespread change in plasma protein content during exercise, with a decreased tendency in protein abundance that is mainly related to lung function, tissue fluids, metabolism, calcium ion pathway and cellular energy metabolism. Furthermore, we provide the first investigation of the proteome variation due to the interaction between exercise and related blood pressure haplotypes, which this difference was related to a faster switch to the lipoprotein and lipid metabolism during exercise for EPH. The molecular signatures identified in the present study contribute to an improved understanding of exercise-related blood pressure regulation.
