    Abstract The heat flow in offshore sedimentary basins may be measured using techniques developed for marine domain or using data acquired in wells drilled in oil/gas prospecting works. Sometimes the depth reached in these wells may be very different in relatively close wells. In the deepest wells heat flow variations with depth can be studied and the differences in heat flow values at the surface may be explained. The problem is ilustrated using a real exemple with heat flow density values obtained in a region located in the Southern border of the Eurasion plate in three wells, located at similar latitudes, drilled for oil/gas prospecting works. The region has been studied by several teams trying to obtain a tectonic model, without sucess until now. The heat flow density values obtained in two of the wells are similar but in the third well, the deepest one, the heat flow value is the highest. Gamma-ray,density and porosity logs were used to obtain information about heat sources and thermal conductivity values in depth. The results obtained in the third well show an increase of heat flow with depth, possibly related with turbidity currents in the region and horizontal movement of matter (water and sediments) and heat release by advection.

    Abstract The rapid increase of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to significant growth in the development of low-power sensors. However; the biggest challenge in the expansion of the IoT is the energy dependency of the sensors. A promising solution that provides power autonomy to the IoT sensor nodes is energy harvesting (EH) from ambient sources and its conversion into electricity. Through 3D printing, it is possible to create monolithic harvesters. This reduces costs as it eliminates the need for subsequent assembly tools. Thanks to computer-aided design (CAD), the harvester can be specifically adapted to the environmental conditions of the application. In this work, a piezoelectric resonant energy harvester has been designed, fabricated, and electrically characterized. Physical characterization of the piezoelectric material and the final resonator was also performed. In addition, a study and optimization of the device was carried out using finite element modeling. In terms of electrical characterization, it was determined that the device can achieve a maximum output power of 1.46 mW when operated with an optimal load impedance of 4 MΩ and subjected to an acceleration of 1 G. Finally, a proof-of-concept device was designed and fabricated with the goal of measuring the current passing through a wire.

    Abstract A growing literature in philosophy of science focuses on the role of aesthetics in scientific practice, with the experiment recently recognized for its aesthetic value. However, the literature on aesthetics in experimentation grows out of case studies from the history of science, leaving open the question as to how contemporary scientists experience aesthetics in their experimental work. In this paper we offer the first qualitative, empirical analysis of aesthetic experiences regarding experimental practice, drawing from in-depth interviews with 215 scientists in four countries. We identify six categories of aesthetic experience we find in experimentation, their function, and new questions emerging from our study.

    Abstract In this article, triboelectric effect has been used to harvest mechanical energy from human motion and convert it into electrical energy. To do so, different ways of optimizing the energy generated have been studied through the correct selection of materials, the design of new spacers to improve the contact surface area, and charge injection by high-voltage corona charging to increase the charge density of dielectric materials. Finally, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been manufactured, which is capable of collecting the mechanical energy of the force applied by hand tapping and using it to power miniaturized electronic sensors in a self-sufficient and sustainable way. This work shows the theoretical concept and simulations of the proposed TENG device, as well as the experimental work carried out.

    Abstract Language can have a powerful effect on how people experience events. Here, we examine how the languages people speak guide attention and influence what they remember from a visual scene. When hearing a word, listeners activate other similar-sounding words before settling on the correct target. We tested whether this linguistic coactivation during a visual search task changes memory for objects. Bilinguals and monolinguals remembered English competitor words that overlapped phonologically with a spoken English target better than control objects without name overlap. High Spanish proficiency also enhanced memory for Spanish competitors that overlapped across languages. We conclude that linguistic diversity partly accounts for differences in higher cognitive functions such as memory, with multilinguals providing a fertile ground for studying the interaction between language and cognition.

    Abstract Objectives: The early identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is required to prevent their spread and initiate proper therapy. Accordingly, it is crucial to develop efficient algorithms using susceptibility testing results to discriminate non-carbapenemase producers (non-CPE) from those that require complementary tests. In 2022, to adapt its recommendations to the evolution of CPE epidemiology (increased prevalence of OXA-244 producers), the Antibiogram Committee of the French Society of Microbiology (CA-SFM) proposed a new algorithm for the screening of CPE. We compared this algorithm to the former algorithm (2015-2021).
    Methods: From July 2022 to January 2023, all nonduplicate enterobacterial isolates referred to French National Reference Centre for carbapenemase detection (n = 518) were subjected to the former CA-SFM algorithm (2015 to 2021) using inhibition diameters of ertapenem, ticarcillin-clavulanate, temocillin and meropenem or imipenem, and the novel CA-SFM algorithm (since 2022) using inhibition diameters of ceftazidime-avibactam, temocillin, and meropenem or imipenem.
    Results: Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value were of 80.8% (CI95 76.3%-84.6%), 66.2% (58.1%-73.5%), 59.3% (51.5%-66.6%), and 85.0% (80.7% - 88.5%) for the old CA-SFM algorithm and 97.8% (95.5%-99.0%), 45.5% (37.5%-53.7%), 89.7% (80.3%-95.2%), and 80.9% (76.9%-84.4%) for the novel CA-SFM algorithm.
    Discussion: The novel CA-SFM algorithm possesses the best performance for the screening of CPE particularly in countries with a high prevalence of OXA-48-like producers.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly altered global social dynamics through extensive containment measures. Understanding how individuals perceive the virus, distinguishing between realistic and symbolic threats, and considering the influence of personality traits is essential for effective public health messaging and interventions. This study explores the linkage between personality traits and perceived COVID-19 threats, mediated by conspiracy mentality, across diverse international contexts. Online survey data were collected in June 2021 from 13,645 participants across seven European countries, the US, and Colombia. The study explores how individuals with different Dark Triad traits perceive the threat of COVID-19, and whether conspiracy mentality mediates these perceptions. The findings reveal distinct associations. Machiavellianism and narcissism were linked to lower perceived COVID-19 threat, while psychopathy was associated with greater perceived threat. Additionally, individuals with higher conspiracy mentality endorsed greater perceived threat related to COVID-19. This study highlights the influence of Dark Triad personality traits on how individuals perceive the threats posed by COVID-19, with conspiracy mentality mediating this relationship. Understanding these associations provides valuable insights into psychological factors affecting COVID-19 perception, informing future research and public health strategies.
