    Abstract An elegant solution for the concurrent transmission of data and power is essential for implantable wireless magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This paper presents a self-tuned open interior microcoil (MC) antenna with three useful operating bands of 300 (7 T), 400, and 920 MHz, for blood vessel imaging, data telemetry, and efficient wireless transmission of power, respectively. The proposed open interior MC antenna contains two mirrorlike arms with diameters and lengths of 2.4 mm and 9.8 mm, respectively, to avoid blood flow blockage. To wirelessly show LED glow on a saline based phantom, the MC was fabricated on a flexible polyimide material and combined with a miniaturized rectifier and a micro-LED. Using a path gain, the power transfer efficiency (PTE) of the MC rotation was also analyzed. Additionally, the PTE was calculated for a range of distances between 25 and 60 mm, and a -27.1 dB PTE attained at a distance of of 30 mm. Based on the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection for human brain safety when exposed to radio-frequencies from external transmitter, a specific absorption rate analysis was analyzed. Measurements of the s-parameters were noted using a saline solution and blood vessel model to imitate a realistic human head. They were found to correlate reasonably with the simulated results.

    Abstract Background: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used for the management of anxiety and depression. Existing evidence shows their negative impact on implant osseointegration, survival rates, and peri-implant health. Currently, there are limited data on their effect on peri-implant marginal bone levels. The primary goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate the association between SSRIs use and marginal bone level (MBL) changes around osseointegrated dental implants over time.
    Methods: Records from patients who received at least one dental implant between 2010 and 2021 were reviewed. Information related to medical history, SSRI use, and the implant site was obtained from patients' electronic charts. Mesial and distal MBLs were measured relative to the implant platform on digital intraoral radiographs, taken at the time of prosthesis installation and at the most recent follow-up visit. MBL changes were calculated.
    Results: A total of 152 dental implants from 105 patients were included. The mean follow-up period was 46.97 ± 21.87 months. The mean MBL change was significantly greater for SSRI users (0.41 ± 0.76 mm) compared to non-users (0.04 ± 0.65 mm) [MD = 0.37 mm, p = 0.00, 95% CI: (-0.61)-(-0.15 mm)]. Mesial MBL change of 0.42 ± 0.84 mm and 0.02 ± 0.71 mm was noted for SSRI users and non-users, respectively. The distal MBL change was 0.4 ± 0.93 mm and 0.07 ± 0.73 mm, respectively. Smoking, sex, and implant location did not seem to influence the MBL differences between groups.
    Conclusions: Use of SSRIs is associated with greater marginal bone loss around osseointegrated dental implants in function for a mean period of 3.8 years.

    Abstract In this paper, we first prove an integral majorization theorem related to integral inequalities for functions defined on rectangles. We then apply the result to establish some new integral inequalities for functions defined on rectangles. The results obtained are generalizations of weighted Favard's inequality, which also provide a generalization of the results given by Maligranda et al. (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 190:248-262, 1995) in an earlier paper.

    Abstract Among the various methods to develop flexible wearable antennas, a serpentine, mesh structure has been a great interest because of its mechanical reliability upon applied strain. However, there is still a significant lack of design guidelines for the open-mesh concept that account for both material and electromagnetic (EM) properties of antennas. In this work, we introduce a comprehensive study of materials, mechanics, fabrication, and system integration for the development of stretchable dipole and patch antennas that have networks of two-dimensional serpentine patterns. A set of computational modeling and experimental validation of open-mesh structures provides the key design guidelines to offer the maximum mechanical stretchability and minimum effective moduli of wearable antennas. Integration of the thin-film antenna traces with various substrates captures the versatility of the deterministic fabrication and material transfer printing methods. The influence of antenna stretching on the EM properties, including return loss, electric and magnetic fields, and far-field radiation patterns, is investigated. EM characterization with mechanical stretching results in different properties of fabricated antennas. The simulation study of specific absorption rates shows a potential for safe applications of dipole and patch stretchable antennas on the human skin.

    Abstract Active fractions of soil C such as particulate organic C (POC) and short-term mineralizable C (SMC) respond faster than total organic C (TOC) to management induced changes in soil C. However, the active fractions of organic C can possibly have larger variability that decreases the detectability of management effects on soil C. The objectives of this study were to (i) assess the relative usefulness of TOC, POC, and SMC as criteria of management induced changes on soil C and (ii) investigate if using auxiliary soil and topographical information can aid in increasing the usefulness of these criteria in studies conducted across large spatial scales. Data were collected at locations with two contrasting topographical positions (slope and depression) within 10 agricultural fields in conventional and cover crop based row crop managements at the 0- to 20-, 35- to 50-, and 70- to 90-cm depths. The results showed that to detect differences between the management systems with an acceptable type II error of 0.20, an 80% difference in TOC and a 50% difference in SMC were needed. The statistical power for POC was never in an acceptable range. The use of auxiliary soil and topography information via analysis of covariance decreased the sizes of the minimal detectable differences. Given the faster reaction to management of SMC as compared with TOC, and its lower variability as compared with POC, we recommend SMC as the preferred C fraction for detecting treatment induced differences in organic C stocks in agricultural field experiments, especially in deeper soil layers.

    Abstract The development of food and forage crops that flourish under saline conditions may be a prospective avenue for mitigating the impacts of climate change, both allowing biomass production under conditions of water-deficit and potentially expanding land-use to hitherto non-arable zones. Here, we examine responses of the native halophytic shrub Atriplex leucoclada to salt and drought stress using a factorial design, with four levels of salinity and four drought intensities under the arid conditions. A. leucoclada plants exhibited morphological and physiological adaptation to salt and water stress which had little effect on survival or growth. Under low salinity stress, water stress decreased the root length of A. leucoclada; in contrast, under highly saline conditions root length increased. Plant tissue total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content decreased with increasing water stress under low salinity. As salt stress increased, detrimental effects of water deficit diminished. We found that both salt and water stress had increased Na

    Abstract Drinking water with excessive concentration levels of arsenic (As) is a great threat to human health. A hydrochemical approach was employed in 50 drinking water samples (collected from Kushtia district, Bangladesh) to examine the occurrence of geogenic As and the presence of trace metals (TMs), as well as the factors controlling As release in aquifers. The results reveal that the drinking water of shallow aquifers is highly contaminated by As (6.05–590.7 μg/L); 82% of samples were found to exceed the WHO recommended limit (10 μg/L) for potable water, but the concentrations of Si, B, Mn, Sr, Se, Ba, Fe, Cd, Pb, F, U, Ni, Li, and Cr were within safe limits. The Ca-HCO3-type drinking water was identified as having high contents of As, pH and HCO3−, a medium-high content EC, and low concentrations of NO3−, SO42−, K+, and Cl−. The significant correlation between As and NO3− indicates that NO3− might be attributed to the use of phosphate fertilizers and a factor responsible for enhancing As in aquifers. The study also reports that the occurrence of high As and the presence of TMs in drinking water may be a result of local anthropogenic activities, such as irrigation, intensive land use and the application of agrochemicals. The insignificant correlation between As and SO42− demonstrated that As is released from SO42− minerals under reducing conditions. An elevated pH value along with decoupling of As and HCO3− plays a vital role in mobilizing As to aquifer systems. Moreover, the positive relationship between As and Si indicated that As is transported in the biogeochemical environment. The reductive suspension of Mn(IV)-oxyhydroxides also accelerated the As mobilization process. Over exploitation of tube-well water and the competitive ion exchange process are also responsible for the release of As in aquifers.
