Summary: This study investigates the motion and collision of spheres on a horizontal surface under solitary wave attack, revealing key findings about damping rates on porous bottoms, the influence of water levels on sphere motion characteristics, and the difference in terminal velocities between breaking and non-breaking solitary wave cases. It also highlights the significant impact of wave type and water level on collision behavior, while noting the lack of contribution from bottom conditions.

Summary: The acquisition and expression of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms in bacteria are often associated with a fitness cost. Transiently silent acquired AMR (tsaAMR) refers to acquired antimicrobial resistance genes with a corresponding phenotype within the wild-type distribution or below the clinical breakpoint for susceptibility, for which genetic alterations can mediate expression to a clinically relevant level of resistance. The phenomenon of tsaAMR is likely to increase due to the overall expansion of acquired AMR in bacterial pathogens and the use of genotypic methods in combination with conventional phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).

Summary: This study proposes a novel robustness assessment methodology and defines a robustness index based on regulatory tests to analyze the real-world performance of lane departure warning systems. The research found that the robustness index of the light truck was lower than that of the passenger car, and TTLC was inversely proportional to lateral speed.

Summary: This paper proposes an experimental modal testing method for subcritical flows and extracts the dominant modes of flow around a cylinder at subcritical Reynolds numbers for the first time. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical results and provide the first experimental evidence of the correlation between the von Karman mode and fluid-solid interaction instability in subcritical flows.

Summary: The ankle joint is a crucial joint that provides stability, mobility, and support in daily activities. Injuries to the ankle joint can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility, requiring rehabilitation therapy. Traditional rehabilitation methods include rest, ice, compression, and elevation, as well as physical therapy and exercises. However, technological advancements, such as robotic platforms, offer new ways to assist in ankle joint rehabilitation, providing customized training programs and targeted training for faster recovery.

Summary: Traditionally, experimental research on structural members has focused on isolated fundamental cases, while this investigation presents an experimental study on aluminium flexural members with variable angles between the bending plane and the major axis. The comparison between design provisions specified in EN 1999-1-1 and the predictions provided by the Continuous Strength Method (CSM) and a new proposed method shows significant improvements in predicting biaxial bending resistances, ultimately leading to more economic and sustainable design.

Summary: This study proposed multi-scale vibration analysis methods for the characterization and identification of solid particles in oil-conveying flows, establishing a solid content model. The best particle characterization scales were found to be the meso-scale and micro-scale, with low error rates, deepening the understanding of particle-wall collisions in multi-phase flows.

Summary: Predicting and responding to vessel collision avoidance course is crucial for navigational safety. In order to predict the course for collision avoidance decisions, a model of human decisions needs to be established to avoid potential collision situations. This study developed a supervised learning-based ensemble classification model to simulate human collision avoidance decisions. Ship trajectory data was used to construct predictor and outcome variables, and the collision-avoidance algorithm's results were included in the prediction variables. The resulting well-fitted model provides insights into predicting the relationship between the output avoidance direction and the algorithm's variables.

Summary: This study reported the preconcentration of Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) in aqueous biphasic system using TBAB - H2O - (NH4)2SO4, followed by ICP-OES determination for the first time. The method allowed for high preconcentration factor and decreased detection limits for ICP-OES determination of heavy metals.

Summary: The software for the IUPAC Chemical Identifier, InChI, is highly reliable and has been upgraded to version 1.06 with significant new features including support for pseudo-element atoms and improved description of polymers. Research results show that the accuracy of version 1.05 was 99.996% and version 1.06 represents a step closer to perfection, with few applications needing changes as a result of the upgrade.

Summary: The new IUPAC naming system provides detailed rules for unambiguous and easy naming of any conjugate, primarily applicable to polymer conjugates but also suitable for naming conjugates with other substrates. It should be used when recognition of the substrate and active substance is essential, and when constraints of name length make the otherwise preferred IUPAC nomenclatures untenable.
