    Abstract An external radial magnetic field and built-in stainless steel balls formed a magnetic suspended layer (MSL), as observed in this study. Under the condition of crossflow inflow, the flocculating agent and coagulant aids form a flocculated particles suspension layer (FPSL). Thus a double suspended fluidized bed reactor was constructed to treat bathing wastewater. A particle image velocimetry device was used to detect flow patterns and analyze the flocculation conditions. The results showed that under the condition of crossflow inflow, at the same time, the flooding water was 0.023-2.101 m

    Abstract Sleep disorders are prevalent and often neglected among breast cancer patients. This study aimed to identify the association among perceived stress, loneliness, resilience and sleep disorders and to further explore whether resilience could be a moderator in the association between them and sleep disorders. A cross-sectional study was conducted by 492 female breast cancer patients. Patients were asked in response to the questionnaires including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Perceived Stress Scale-10, the Three-Item Loneliness Scale and Resilience Scale-14. The association among perceived stress, loneliness, resilience and perceived stress/loneliness × resilience interaction with sleep disorders were examined by hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. 36.58% of the female breast cancer patients reported sleep disorders in our study. Perceived stress and loneliness were related to sleep disorders. Resilience could moderate the relationship between them and sleep disorders. When resilience was higher, perceived stress and loneliness had a weaker impact on sleep disorders. Medical staff should systematically evaluate the internal environmental factors related to patients' sleep quality and help patients relieve their emotional distress caused by the disease through positive psychological guidance.

    Abstract The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has proposed the Solvent Extraction from Liquid waste using Extractants of CHON-type for Transmutation (SELECT) process by solvent extraction as a new separation technology to recover minor actinides (MA) from high-level liquid waste (HLLW) produced by spent fuel reprocessing. The MA separation in the SELECT process comprises the recovery of MA and rare earths (RE) from HLLW, MA/RE separation, and Am/Cm separation. Three highly practical extractants are used in the MA separation. Furthermore, this flow configuration facilitates the preparation of nitric acid concentrations in the aqueous phase. However, the separation factor between Cm and Nd in the MA/RE separation is small (SF

    Abstract Pseudo-haptics is a method that can provide a haptic sensation without requiring a physical haptic device. The effect of pseudo-haptics is known to depend on the individual, but it is unclear which factors cause individual differences. As the first study establishing a calibration method for these differences in future research, we examined the differences in the pseudo-haptic effect on mouse cursor operation in a desktop environment depending on the age and gender of the user. We conducted an online experiment and collected data from more than 400 participants. The participants performed a task of lifting a virtual object with a mouse pointer. We found that the effect of pseudo-haptics was greater in younger or male participants than in older or female participants. We also found that the effect of pseudo-haptics, which varied with age and gender, can be explained by habituation to the mouse in daily life and the accuracy of detecting the pointer position using vision or proprioception. Specifically, the pseudo-haptic effect was higher for those who used the mouse more frequently and had higher accuracy in identifying the pointer position using proprioception or vision. The results of the present study not only indicate the factors that cause age and gender differences but also provide hints for calibrating these differences.

    Abstract Things that people desire to touch in daily life are known to be limited to a number of specific targets (e.g., cats). The utilization of haptic displays to provide the experience of touching such desired targets is expected to enhance people's quality of life. However, it is currently unclear which haptic properties (e.g., hardness and weight) of desired targets should be rendered with haptic displays, and how they should be rendered. To address these issues, we conducted an experiment with 600 Japanese participants via crowdsourcing. Among the 600 participants, we identified potential users of haptic displays and analyzed their responses for each target. For each desired target, we identified the haptic properties in relation to which a "need for consistency" was felt by potential users between their expectations and actual impressions during touching. We also identified the haptic properties in relation to which a "biased impression" was held by potential users for each target. For example, potential users responded that cats were soft and that the actual impression of softness during touching needed to be consistent with their impression. Our results provide insights into the design of haptic displays for realizing desired touch experiences.

    Abstract DNasel sensitivity assay of the fibroin gene and the sericin gene in different tissues along developmental stages have revealed unique patters of regulation. In the posterior silk gland the fibroin gene was more sensitive to DNaseI at the larval feeding stages, when the gene is transcriptionally active, than at the larval molting stages, when the gene is inactive. In the middle silk gland and the ovarian tissue where the fibroin gene is suppressed throughout development, the gene was found to be resistant to DNaseI. On the other hand the sericin gene remained rather DNaseI sensitive in the middle silk gland through larval development, where transcription activity of the gene changes drastically. Disappearance of DNaseI sensitivity of the fibroin gene at the fourth molting stage takes place earlier than the decline of the fibroin gene transcription. However, in the fifth feeding stagereappearance of DNaseI sensitivity occurs synchronously with resumption of the fibroin gene transcription. Thus a constitution of the DNaseI sensitivity may be required, but not sufficient to support an active state of genes.

    Abstract Advances in haptic technology have led researchers and engineers to seek out killer applications in which users can enjoy an experience of touch in AR/VR spaces. Such applications will respond appropriately to human desire for haptic experiences (i.e., touch desire) and thus it is essential for researchers and engineers to understand the nature of people's touch desires as they arise in the course of daily life. In this study, we employed Twitter data analysis to investigate a diurnal pattern in touch desire. Our results showed that touch desire identified in and extracted from Twitter texts did reveal a diurnal pattern. Touch desire tended to be at its lowest in the morning and increased as the day progressed. The time at which it peaked varied with the specific target of touch desire. Touch desire in relation to other people and objects reached its peak at night, but touch desire in relation to animals reached its peak at noon. These results were confirmed not only by our Twitter text analysis but also by data from other social media and an online survey. In addition, we found that the diurnal pattern of touch desire for each target shows a strong correlation with that of visual desire for the same target. This suggests that the diurnal pattern of touch desire is not limited to the sense of touch but is common to other sensory desires for each target. Our findings suggest that researchers need to take the time of day into account when investigating touch desire. Our findings also offer valuable insights for developers into the design of haptic applications and displays that takes into account the timing of daily peaks in touch desire.

    Abstract Stent retrievers are medical devices that are designed to physically remove blood clots from within the blood vessels of the brain. This paper focuses on microfabricated nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) stent retrievers, which feature micro-patterns on their surface to enhance the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy. A thick film of nitinol, which was 20 µm in thickness, was sputtered onto a substrate with a micro-patterned surface, using electroplated copper as the sacrificial layer. The nitinol film was released from the substrate and then thermally treated while folded into a cylindrical shape. In vitro experiments with pig blood clots demonstrated that the micro-patterns on the surface improved the efficacy of blood clot retrieval.
