Authors: Zhao Jianlong , Ma Chi , Han Jinna , Xiao Xingming , Jiang Yuqiang
Published: April 2023

To lay a foundation for alleviating the influence of mining shaft deformation (MSD) on the guide rail (GR) and monitoring the shaft deformation state, this paper studies the deformation law and mechanism of the guide rail under the MSD. Firstly, a spring is used to simplify the interaction between the shaft lining and surrounding rock soil mass (SRSM) under MSD, and its stiffness coefficient is deduced by the elastic subgrade reaction method. Secondly, a simplified finite element model is established based on spring element, the stiffness coefficient is calculated by the derivation formula, and its effectiveness is verified. Finally, the deformation law and mechanism of GR are analyzed under different types and degrees of MSD, and the deformation characteristics are studied under the disconnection between the shaft, bunton and guide rail. The results show that the established finite element model can better simulate the interaction between the shaft lining and SRSM, and the calculation efficiency is greatly improved. The guide rail deformation (GRD) has a strong ability to characterize MSD and owns the distinctive feature corresponding to different types and degrees of MSD and the connection state. This research can provide reference and guidance for the shaft deformation monitoring and the maintenance and installation of the GR, and also lays a groundwork for studying operation characteristic of hoisting conveyance under MSD.
Prediction of air quality index based on the SSA-BiLSTM-LightGBM model
Authors: Zhang Xiaowen , Jiang Xuchu , Li Ying
Published: April 2023

The air quality index (AQI), as an indicator to describe the degree of air pollution and its impact on health, plays an important role in improving the quality of the atmospheric environment. Accurate prediction of the AQI can effectively serve people’s lives, reduce pollution control costs and improve the quality of the environment. In this paper, we constructed a combined prediction model based on real hourly AQI data in Beijing. First, we used singular spectrum analysis (SSA) to decompose the AQI data into different sequences, such as trend, oscillation component and noise. Then, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) was introduced to predict the decomposed AQI data, and a light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) was used to integrate the predicted results. The experimental results show that the prediction effect of SSA-BiLSTM-LightGBM for the AQI data set is good on the test set. The root mean squared error (RMSE) reaches 0.6897, the mean absolute error (MAE) reaches 0.4718, the symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) reaches 1.2712%, and the adjusted R2 reaches 0.9995.

Published: April 2023

The role of ocean variability is at a focal point in improving the weather and climate forecasts at different spatial and temporal scales. We study the effect of antecedent southwestern Indian Ocean mean sea level anomaly (MSLA) and sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) as a proxy to upper ocean heat capacitance on all India summer monsoon rainfall (AISMR) during 1993–2019. SSTA and MSLA over the southwestern Indian Ocean (SWIO) have been influenced by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the impact of ENSO-induced SWIO variability was low on rainfall variability over several homogeneous regions. Rainfall over northeast (NE) and North India (EI) has been modulated by ENSO-induced SSTA and MSLA over SWIO, thus effecting the total AISMR magnitude. The ENSO-induced changes in heat capacitance (SSTA and MSLA) over SWIO during antecedent months has less impact on west coast of India, central India and North India (NI) rainfall variability. The long-term trend in pre-monsoonal SSTA and MSLA over SWIO shows decreasing rainfall trend over NI, NE, and EI in the recent time. Furthermore, the cooler (warmer) anomaly over the western Indian Ocean affects rainfall variability adversely (favourably) due to the reversal of the wind pattern during the pre-monsoon period. While SSTA and MSLA are increasing in the SWIO, large-scale variability of these parameters during preceding winter and pre-monsoon months combined with surface winds could impact the inter-annual AISMR variability over homogeneous regions of India. Similarly, from an oceanic perspective, the antecedent heat capacitance over SWIO on an inter-annual time scale has been the key to the extreme monsoon rainfall variability.

Authors: Privette Chelsea
Published: April 2023

Purpose:

The purpose of this tutorial is to guide practitioners to a critical praxis of speech, language, and hearing. This tutorial provides a foundational knowledge of critical theory as an approach to framing, conceptualizing, and interpreting phenomena and demonstrates its application to the speech, language, and hearing profession.

Method:

This tutorial reviews critical theory as a category of frameworks that challenge existing power structures and provides a critical analysis of the profession's approach to language using a raciolinguistic framework. Questions are included for the reader to guide self-reflection and preparation for enacting a critical praxis oriented toward justice. Recommended readings are provided for the reader to continue the journey beyond these pages.

Results:

The author presents a critical praxis of speech, language, and hearing, drawing directly from two additional critical frameworks: Black fugitivity and culturally sustaining pedagogy. This critical praxis is discussed within the context of three major areas—activism, assessment, and intervention—with a reconsideration of how to leverage skills, resources, and strategies in a way that centers (racial) identity formation and multimodal communication.

Conclusion:

Next steps are suggested, and readers are invited to become theorists who continue to develop a critical praxis for their context.

Simulation of dieless clinching process considering the limit of blank holder
Authors: Wang Zhiyong , Han Shanling , Li Zhiyong , Li Yong
Published: April 2023

The low strength and large protrusion of the traditional dieless clinched joint hindered its application. To improve the mechanical properties of the dieless clinched joint, a novel dieless clinching process considering the limitation of the blank holder was proposed. The finite element model of the dieless clinching process was established by DEFORM-2D, the influences of the blank holder spring stiffness, the blank holder limit height, and the punch diameter on the mechanical interlock of the joint were analyzed, and the influence laws of blank holder spring stiffness and blank holder limit height on material flow and mechanical interlock were obtained. Then, the influence of these three die parameters and their interaction on the joint interlock were analyzed using the response surface method. The results show that the blank holder displacement plays a key role in the formation of mechanical interlock in the dieless clinching process. Reasonable limit height and spring stiffness of the blank holder can control the flow direction of materials, so as to improve the mechanical interlock and the strength of dieless clinched joints. It provides a new idea for improving the dieless clinching process.
Tinea Faciei Successfully Treated with Individualised Homoeopathic Medicine: A Case Report
Authors: Ram Hanuman , Singh Uttam
Published: April 2023

Tinea faciei (TF) is a clinical form of superficial dermatophyte infection that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its variable appearance on the smooth regions of the face and affects both sexes and all age groups. Treatment in the conventional system of medicine uses local and systematic antifungals. Homoeopathic materia medica and repertory have highlighted beneficial medicines for TF. Here, we report one case of a 22-year-old female patient complaining of multiple erythematous, circumscribed lesions with elevated margins and mild scaling on the right side of the face and upper neck region. There was marked itching and burning in the lesions. The patient was diagnosed with TF (ringworm of the face). Sepia officinalis was prescribed after a detailed case taking, repertorisation and final consultation with materia medica based on the totality of symptoms. Within 3 months of administration of individualised homoeopathic medicine Sepia officinalis, multiple erythematous, circumscribed lesions with elevated margins and scaling completely disappeared. During another 6 months of subsequent follow-ups, no symptoms were observed. The present case report addresses the importance of individualised homoeopathic approach in TF infections. The improvement in the case was assessed clinically by a pre-determined 4-point scale and through photographic evidence at baseline, during and after treatment. The modified Naranjo criteria score after treatment was seven (7), establishing a positive causal attribution of the individualised homoeopathic medicine Sepia officinalis for this case. Homoeopathic treatment adhering to its ground principles of individualisation has shown promising and favourable results in this case.

Published: April 2023

Case Presentation

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a relatively rare bone tumor of cartilaginous origin and it comprises less than 1% of all primary bony tumors. Clavicle is an unusual site of involvement for any bone tumor and may produce diagnostic dilemma. Approximately only 1% of all primary bone tumors may involve the clavicle. The literature on clinical features and outcome of CMF clavicle remains sparse.

Conclusion

We present an unusual case of CMF clavicle in which the medial aspect of the clavicle gradually disappeared on radiographs. CMF should be included in the differential diagnoses of disappearing bone disease.
Kinetic and Radiographic Outcomes of Unilateral Double Pelvic Osteotomy in Six Dogs
Authors: Prabakaran Adheip , Jenkins Paul L.
Published: April 2023

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the kinetic and radiographic outcome of unilateral double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) using a temporospatial pressure walkway, preoperative and postoperative radiographs.

Study Design Retrospective case series of six dogs that underwent unilateral DPO for canine hip dysplasia. The untreated limb was unfit for DPO due to radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis and was therefore managed non-surgically. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs and kinetic data were compared between untreated and DPO-treated hips using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Results There was no significant difference in British Veterinary Association Hip Dysplasia Scheme (BVA-HD) scores between untreated and DPO-treated hips preoperatively (p-value = 0.09) and postoperatively (p-value = 0.06). The median postoperative GAIT4 Dog Lameness Score was lower in untreated hips than DPO-treated hips but was not statistically different (p-value = 0.18).

Conclusions All dogs in this case series achieved a total pressure index and GAIT4 Dog Lameness Score on the DPO-treated hip comparable to normal limbs. All untreated hips in this series had increased BVA-HD scores at follow-up, whereas all DPO-treated hips had reduced BVA-HD scores. This difference was not significant and warrants further studies. We conclude total pressure index may be preserved in hips treated with unilateral DPO, while the contralateral hip is managed non-surgically.
Engaging with intelligent voice assistants for wellbeing and brand attachment
Authors: Prentice Catherine , Loureiro Sandra Maria Correia , Guerreiro João
Published: April 2023

The study draws upon the theories of self-determination and motivation of expectancy to examine how intrinsic motives drive consumers to engage with artificial intelligence (AI) powered intelligent voice assistants (IVAs). The study also explores how consumer engagement leads to their wellbeing and attachment to these AI gadgets and their associated brands. Engagement in this study refers to consumers’ usage and involvement with IVAs. Subject wellbeing was modeled as a mediator between consumer engagement and brand attachment. The research was conducted in the USA with respondents who had owned and used at least one type of IVAs (e.g., Siri, Google Home, Alexa). A range of statistical procedures including structural equation modeling were undertaken to assess the proposed relationships. The results show that the consumer’s need for autonomy, sense of competence, and relatedness are significantly related to IVA engagement. Consumer wellbeing also had a significant mediation effect on the relationship between engagement and brand attachment. The study is the first to link consumer engagement, individual wellbeing, and brand attachment. The study contributes to positive psychology and branding research by integrating mental health and branding effects. The findings have implications for marketing and psychology practitioners.
Ion transport phenomena in electrode materials
Authors: Wen Jing , Ma Xinzhi , Li Lu , Zhang Xitian , Wang Bin
Published: April 2023

Because of the increasing demand, high-power, high-rate energy storage devices based on electrode materials have attracted immense attention. However, challenges remain to be addressed to improve the concentration-dependent kinetics of ionic diffusion and understand phase transformation, interfacial reactions, and capacitive behaviors that vary with particle morphology and scanning rates. It is valuable to understand the microscopic origins of ion transport in electrode materials. In this review, we discuss the microscopic transport phenomena and their dependence on ion concentration in the cathode materials, by comparing dozens of well-studied transition metal oxides, sulfides, and phosphates, and in the anode materials, including several carbon species and carbides. We generalize the kinetic effects on the microscopic ionic transport processes from the phenomenological points of view based on the well-studied systems. The dominant kinetic effects on ion diffusion varied with ion concentration, and the pathway- and morphology-dependent diffusion and capacitive behaviors affected by the sizes and boundaries of particles are demonstrated. The important kinetic effects on ion transport by phase transformation, transferred electrons, and water molecules are discussed. The results are expected to shed light on the microscopic limiting factors of charging/discharging rates for developing new intercalation and conversion reaction systems.
Observation of charge-to-spin conversion with giant efficiency at Ni0.8Fe0.2/Bi2WO6 interface
Authors: Das Saikat , Sugimoto Satoshi , Kushwaha Varun Kumar , Kozuka Yusuke , Kasai Shinya
Published: April 2023

Magnetization switching using spin–orbit torque offers a promising route to developing non-volatile memory technologies. The prerequisite, however, is the charge-to-spin current conversion, which has been achieved traditionally by harnessing the spin–orbit interaction in heavy metals, topological insulators, and heterointerfaces hosting a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas. Here, we report the observation of charge-to-spin current conversion at the interface between ferromagnetic Ni0.8Fe0.2 and ferroelectric Bi2WO6 thin films. The resulting spin–orbit torque consists of damping-like and field-like components, and the estimated efficiency amounts to about 0.48 ± 0.02, which translates to 0.96 ± 0.04 nm−1 in terms of interfacial efficiency. These numbers are comparable to contemporary spintronic materials exhibiting giant spin–orbit torque efficiency. We suggest that the Rashba Edelstein effect underpins the charge-to-spin current conversion on the interface side of Ni0.8Fe0.2. Further, we provide an intuitive explanation for the giant efficiency in terms of the spin-orbit proximity effect, which is enabled by orbital hybridization between W and Ni (Fe) atoms across the interface. Our work highlights that Aurivillius compounds are a potential addition to the emerging transition metal oxide-based spin–orbit materials.

Published: April 2023

In the field of perovskite solar cells, explorations of new lead-free all-inorganic perovskite materials are of great interest to address the instability and toxicity issues of lead-based hybrid perovskites. Recently, copper-antimony-based double perovskite materials have been reported with ideal band gaps, which possess great potential as absorbers for photovoltaic applications. Here, we synthesize Cs2CuSbCl6 double perovskite nanocrystals (DPNCs) at ambient conditions by a facile and fast synthesis method, namely, a modified ligand-assisted reprecipitation method. We choose methanol as a solvent for precursor salts as it is less toxic and easily removed in contrast to widely used dimethylformamide. Our computational structure search shows that the Cs2CuSbCl6 structure containing alternating [CuCl6]5− and [SbCl6]3− octahedral units is a metastable phase that is 30 meV/atom higher in energy compared to the ground state structure with [CuCl3]2− and [SbCl6]3− polyhedra. However, this metastable Cs2CuSbCl6 double perovskite structure can be stabilized through solution-based nanocrystal synthesis. Using an anion-exchange method, Cs2CuSbBr6 DPNCs are obtained for the first time, featuring a narrow bandgap of 0.9 eV. Finally, taking advantage of the solution processability of DPNCs, smooth and dense Cs2CuSbCl6 and Cs2CuSbBr6 DPNC films are successfully fabricated.
Political ideology and generosity around the globe

Published: April 2023

In a world severely put under stress by COVID-19, generosity becomes increasingly essential both when able to transcend local boundaries, building upon universalistic values, and when directed toward more local contexts, such as the native country. This study aims to investigate an underresearched determinant of generosity at these two levels, a factor that captures one’s beliefs, values, and opinions about society: political ideology. We study the donation decisions of more than 46,000 participants from 68 countries in a task with the possibility of donating to a national charity and an international one. We test whether more left-leaning individuals display higher generosity in general (H1) and toward international charities (H2). We also examine the association between political ideology and national generosity without hypothesizing any direction. We find that more left-leaning individuals are more likely to donate in general and more likely to be generous internationally. We also observe that more right-leaning individuals are more likely to donate nationally. These results are robust to the inclusion of several controls. In addition, we address a relevant source of cross-country variation, the quality of governance, which is found to have significant informative power in explaining the relationship between political ideology and the different types of generosity. Potential mechanisms underlying the resulting behaviors are discussed.
Effects of heat treatment on microstructure and properties of Fe-based amorphous composite coatings
Authors: Li Chunyan , Zhang Yishu , Zhai Jianshu , Li Chunling , Kou Shengzhong
Published: April 2023

It is found that heat treatment can improve the microstructure and properties of the coating. In this paper, the Fe-Cr-Mo-B-C amorphous composite coatings fabricated by laser cladding technology were heat treated at different temperatures. The effects of heat treatment temperature on the crystallisation, porosity, microhardness, and corrosion resistance of coatings were investigated. The experimental results show that the amorphous content and porosity after heat treatment, the comprehensive properties are improved, and the coating defects are solved. Both the amorphous content and the porosity affect the corrosion resistance of the coatings. The smaller the porosity, the higher the amorphous content, and the stronger the corrosion resistance of the coating. When the difference in amorphous content is small, the porosity of the coating becomes the dominant factor affecting the corrosion resistance of the coating. The experimental results shows that the best optimum heat treatment temperature for the coatings is 200°C.

Published: April 2023

In this work, we have combined fluorescence imaging spectroscopy (FIS) and supervised learning methods to identify and discriminate between citrus canker, Huanglongbing, and other leaf symptoms. Our goal is to differentiate these diseases and nutrient conditions without prior eye assessment of symptoms. Five supervised learning methods were evaluated. Our results show that by combining FIS with a convolutional neural network (AlexNet), it is possible to identify the disease of a sample with up to 95% accuracy. An enormous gain of time and a substantial cost reduction were achieved by this approach compared to polymerase chain reaction-based methods.

High-performance two-photon absorption optical limiter and stabilizer based on phase-pure thick-shell CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots
Authors: Liao Chen , Peng Zhiwei , Tang Luping , Shi Weihua , Tao Jingxin , Sun Shaoling , Yao Ning
Published: April 2023

To achieve high-sensitivity two-photon absorption (2PA) optical limiters and stabilizers, two-photon active materials need to have large 2PA cross-sections. Phase-pure wurtzite (WZ) CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) with a shell thickness of 11 CdS monolayers were prepared by a high-temperature pyrolysis method, which possess a large volume and nearly defect-free core/shell interfaces. The 2PA cross-section of QDs is measured to be as large as 1.5 × 105 GM by the nonlinear transmittance method. Due to the large 2PA cross-section of phase-pure thick-shell WZ CdSe/CdS core/shell QDs, we successfully explored their application in the field of optical limiting and stabilization. Finally, we successfully fabricated a high-sensitivity optical stabilizer made of a polymer (polymethylmethacrylate) matrix comprising phase-pure thick-shell WZ CdSe/CdS core/shell QDs, which can reduce the amplitude fluctuation by ∼67%. In addition, the device reduces the input energy by ∼40%, indicating that the device can also be applied as an optical limiter. This work promotes the application of optical limiters and stabilizers based on QDs in practical work to a certain extent.
On the impact of temperature gradient flattening and system size on heat transport in microtearing turbulence
Authors: C.J. Ajay , McMillan B.F. , Pueschel M.J.
Published: April 2023

Microtearing instability is one of the major sources of turbulent transport in high-β tokamaks. These modes lead to very localized transport at low-order rational magnetic field lines, and we show that flattening of the local electron temperature gradient at these rational surfaces plays an important role in setting the saturated flux level in microtearing turbulence. This process depends crucially on the density of rational surfaces, and thus the system-size, and gives rise to a worse-than-gyro-Bohm transport scaling for system-sizes typical of existing tokamaks and simulations.
Commissioning the Muon Campus external beamline: first beam optics measurement
Authors: Loe Trevor , Stratakis Diktys
Published: April 2023

The Fermilab Mu2e experiment aims to observe charged lepton
flavor violation through the direct conversion of a muon to an
electron. This can be accomplished with the considerable challenge
of manipulating and transporting large numbers of protons confined
to a narrow phase space region without significant particle losses
or deterioration of beam quality before reaching the production
target. In this paper we report the first results from the
commissioning the beamline upstream the Mu2e production target. We
first discuss the evolution of the beam distribution in x-y 
plane after collecting a series of beam profiles along the
line. Then, we discuss the beam evolution in phase-space by
measuring the beam's Twiss parameters using two independent
techniques. Finally, with the aid of numerical simulations we
compare our measured data with design parameters and discuss
similarities and differences observed.
The joint impact of the carbon market on carbon emissions, energy mix, and copollutants
Authors: Zheng Yu , Tan Ruipeng , Zhang Bing
Published: April 2023

From a comprehensive standpoint, this paper investigates whether and to what extent the carbon market functions in the context of the developing world. Taking advantage of a unique seven-year-plant-level panel dataset (2010–2016) on Chinese power plants, we use a matched difference-in-differences strategy to identify the joint impact of China’s carbon emissions trading (CET) pilot policy on carbon emissions reduction (objective), energy mix improvement (mechanism), and air copollutant reduction (cobenefits). We find that China’s CET pilot policy effectively lowered carbon emissions by approximately 38.61%. Further analysis shows that plants reduce carbon emissions primarily by reducing coal consumption (approximately 30.79%). Most importantly, China’s CET pilot policy induces substantial air copollutant abatement benefits by reducing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides by approximately 52.19% and 48.62%, respectively. State-owned plants are more affected by China’s CET pilot policy, and the policy effects show disproportionate environmental inequality. Furthermore, the effects are not affected by the rate-based allowance allocation structure that is adopted by China’s national carbon market.
Relating EPR steering with the fidelity of quantum teleportation for two- and three-qubit states
Authors: Fan Yi , Qiu Liang , Jia Chuanlei , Gu Yiyue
Published: April 2023

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering is an important quantum resource in quantum information and computation. The relationships between EPR steering and the fidelity of quantum teleportation for two- and three-qubit states are investigated in this paper. For two-qubit states, the upper bound of the average teleportation fidelity based on the EPR steering is derived. When the receiver can only perform the identity or the Pauli rotation operations, the two-qubit X-type states which violate the three-setting measurements steering inequality could be used for teleportation. In the end, the steering observables and the average teleportation fidelities of two-qubit reduced states for three-qubit pure states maintain the same ordering. The complementary relations between the steering observables and the average teleportation fidelities for three-qubit pure states are also established.
Random recursive hypergraphs
Authors: Krapivsky P L
Published: April 2023

Random recursive hypergraphs (RRHs) grow by adding, at each step, a vertex and an edge formed by joining the new vertex to a randomly chosen existing edge. The model is parameter-free, and several characteristics of emerging hypergraphs admit neat expressions via harmonic numbers, Bernoulli numbers, Eulerian numbers, and Stirling numbers of the first kind. Natural deformations of RRHs give rise to fascinating models of growing random hypergraphs.

Published: April 2023

Red chili is a strategic horticultural commodity that is currently experiencing an increase in demand, especially in the food industry. Chili productivity itself tends to be unstable and often decreases. The things that can be done to increase the plant growth and production are fertilization. Liquid Organic Pusri Fertilizer (LOPF) is a biological fertilizer product developed by Pupuk Sriwidjaja Ltd. As the growth promoter, LOPF contains nitrogen fixing bacteria, P and K solubillizing bacteria with a biostimulant carrier made from seaweed extract. This study was designed in a randomized block design with 9 treatment levels and 3 replications. The treatment levels are P0 (100% inorganic fertilizer); P1 (LOPF application to soil); P2 (LOPF application to soil + 50% inorganic fertilizer); P3 (LOPF application to soil + 75% inorganic fertilizer); P4 (LOPF application to soil + 100% inorganic fertilizer); P5 (LOPF application to seeds and soil); P6 (LOPF application to seeds and soil + 50% inorganic fertilizer); P7 (LOPF application to seeds and soil + 75% inorganic fertilizer); and P8 (LOPF application to seeds and soil + 100% inorganic fertilizer). The recommendation dose of 100% inorganic fertilizer for NPK 16-16-16 is 300 kg ha−1 and urea fertilizer 200 kg ha−1. LOPF applied to seeds with a concentration of 100 ppm and in soil was 12 L ha−1. Application of LOPF on seeds and soil combined with 100% recommendation dose of inorganic fertilizer gave the best results in increasing the production of red chili plants with a production of 9.70 tons ha−1.

Biochar has the capacity to influence soil fertility, mycorrhizal arbuscular fungi (AMF), and upland rice growth. Therefore, this study aimed to assess biochar addition on soil character and investigate the effect on AMF, growth, yield, and nutrient uptake of upland rice local. Four levels biochar rate (%, w/w) of 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% was tested in a pot experiment. The results showed that pH, C-org, tot-N, and C and N-ratio increased linearly, while P-available quadratic, and K-exchange increased exponentially with biochar rate. At 60 and 90 days after planting, the height of a plant containing 7.5% biochar was significantly high. The roots and shoots ratio showed the highest and lowest values at 0% and 7.5% biochar rates. Furthermore, the filled spikelet percentage at a 5.0% was the most significant among the others. The biochar rate increased the straw P and K uptake, but N was insignificant and N and P ratio was decreased. Total AMF spores were reduced with biochar addition, and the difference in the proportion of infected roots was not statistically significant. There was a positive correlation between total spikelet per panicle with P and K uptake and a negative correlation with N and P ratio and total AMF spore. The filled spikelet negatively correlated with K uptake, and biochar addition to soil fertility increased. The 5% addition had a better effect on yield component and nutrient uptake of P and K by the local upland rice on acidic soil.

Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is a medicinal plant that contains essential oils in rhizome. In order to meet market demand, by integrated plant nutrition supply it is necessary to apply both organic and inorganic fertilization. This study aims to determine the right combination of ZA and SP 36 fertilizer doses in the growth and yield of red ginger. This esearch was conducted in March - August 2021 in Pelem, Wonorejo Village, Jatiyoso District, Karanganyar Regency, Indonesia with 762 usl and coordinates 7°43'24.7”S 111°05'31.2”E. The research design used randomized completed block design (RCBD) one factor with 4 levels and 6 replications. The treatment levels were D0 (Control, without in organic fertilization), D1 (225 kg.ha−1ZA+50 kg.ha−1SP 36), D2 (450 kg.ha−1ZA+100 kg.ha−1SP 36), D3 (675 kg.ha−1ZA+150 kg.ha−1SP 36). The results ZA and SP 36 fertilization obtained have not been able to increase the growth and yield of red ginger. Research needs to be done with the balance of other nutrients to increase the yield of red ginger.

One of the most important criteria to design more than 30% efficient III–V compound/Si based dual junction solar cell is that we must design atleast 20% efficient III–V compound material top cell. In this regard, we designed a bandgap engineered GaAs0.95P0.05 single junction solar cell with reduced bandgap of (E

g
) = 1.48 eV. Reducing the bandgap from 1.72 eV to 1.48 eV for GaAs0.95P0.05 cell leads to generate higher short circuit current, while having the tradeoff with the open circuit voltage. Due to small change in lattice constant of GaAs0.95P0.05 cell, some recombination is observed near the junction area. Although the minimal degradation is observed in open circuit voltage, the higher short circuit current drives the overall efficiency of the GaAs0.95P0.05 single junction solar cell. The designed solar cell provides an extended internal absorption for longer wavelength of spectrum. The high electron mobility of 8500 cm2 V–S−1 was observed with very high electron to hole mobility ratio of 21.25. The optimization of the cell is done using two back surface field layers (AlInP and AlGaInP) of higher bandgap material. The high short circuit current density of J

The External and Internal Quantum efficiency of more than 95% is achieved by the designed solar cell.
Helium-induced damage in MAB phase MoAlB and Fe2AlB2: first-principles simulation
Authors: Su Shiming , Zhang Chonghong
Published: April 2023

Similar to Mn+1AXn (MAX, M: transition metal, A: A group element, X: C or N, n = 1 ∼ 3) phase materials, MAB (M: transition metal, A: A group element, B: B) phases also exhibit excellent comprehensive mechanical and thermal properties that are applicable to future nuclear reactors. The origination and growth conditions of He bubbles under irradiation in MAB phase MoAlB and Fe2AlB2 have been calculated through first-principles theory in this work. In general, Fe2AlB2 may present lower single/di-vacancy formation energies and a consequent higher He bubble number density. The final He bubble shape and comparative average size of MoAlB and Fe2AlB2 have been predicted as well. In MoAlB there will form large platelet-like He bubbles and small spherical ones. In Fe2AlB2 there will form spherical He bubbles with different sizes. These He bubbles can all further link via interlayer vacancies into string-like shape. Fe2AlB2 also possesses higher He-induced embrittlement tendency than MoAlB.

Published: April 2023

Objective: The goal of our article was to systematise studies that investigated the impact of living conditions in large national regions on individual alcohol consumption. Methods: The objectives of the scoping review, the criteria and methods for selecting articles were defined in advance and recorded in the protocol PROSPERO CRD42021234874. We sought publications on the research topic in PubMed, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, Crossref and eLibrary databases from the moment they were created until December 31, 2021. The final sample included 81 publications. Results: The majority of ultimately selected papers were published after 2010 (62 articles), represented the USA (68 articles), and considered samples of children and youths, either the younger population or the general adult population (65 articles). High quality was characteristic for 19 studies, whereas satisfactory quality was exhibited by 46 publications. The most consistent associations with individual alcohol consumption were revealed for the legislative environment (especially for integral scales and indices), alcohol pricing policy, the prevalence of alcohol consumption and binge drinking in the population, and unemployment rate. Conclusion: The review made it possible to systematise the results of studies on the impact of the characteristics of large national regions on alcohol consumption, including a description of these characteristics and results, samples and designs of studies, their quality, as well as to summarise the results of these studies.
There is no aesthetic experience of the genuine
Authors: Windsor Mark
Published: April 2023

Many hold that aesthetic appreciation is sensitive to the authenticity or genuineness of an object. In a recent body of work, Carolyn Korsmeyer has defended the claim that genuineness itself is an aesthetic property. Korsmeyer’s aim is to explain our aesthetic appreciation of objects that afford a sense of being ‘in touch with the past’. In this paper, I argue that genuineness cannot explain our appreciation of these objects. There is no aesthetic experience of the genuine.
AGRN: accurate gene regulatory network inference using ensemble machine learning methods
Authors: Alawad Duaa Mohammad , Katebi Ataur , Kabir Md Wasi Ul , Hoque Md Tamjidul
Published: April 2023

Motivation

Biological processes are regulated by underlying genes and their interactions that form gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Dysregulation of these GRNs can cause complex diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Hence, accurate GRN inference is critical for elucidating gene function, allowing for the faster identification and prioritization of candidate genes for functional investigation. Several statistical and machine learning-based methods have been developed to infer GRNs based on biological and synthetic datasets. Here, we developed a method named AGRN that infers GRNs by employing an ensemble of machine learning algorithms.

Results

From the idea that a single method may not perform well on all datasets, we calculate the gene importance scores using three machine learning methods—random forest, extra tree and support vector regressors. We calculate the importance scores from Shapley Additive Explanations, a recently published method to explain machine learning models. We have found that the importance scores from Shapley values perform better than the traditional importance scoring methods based on almost all the benchmark datasets. We have analyzed the performance of AGRN using the datasets from the DREAM4 and DREAM5 challenges for GRN inference. The proposed method, AGRN—an ensemble machine learning method with Shapley values, outperforms the existing methods both in the DREAM4 and DREAM5 datasets. With improved accuracy, we believe that AGRN inferred GRNs would enhance our mechanistic understanding of biological processes in health and disease.
