THE PHONOLOGICAL AND PHONETIC STUDY OF EMPHATIC PITCH RANGE BY CHINESE EFL LEARNERS
Authors: Qingbo Tian , Ngee Thai Yap , Chwee Fang Ng , Yahya Yasir
Published: October 2024

In producing second language (L2) speech, L2 learners tend to deviate from its norms, resulting in foreign-accented speech. Pitch range plays a crucial role in the perception of foreign-accented speech. This study aims to investigate the production of emphatic pitch range in English by Chinese Learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) from both the phonological and phonetic perspectives. There were seven native English speakers and fourteen Chinese EFL learners participating in this study. They were required to read the second part of eighteen dialogue pairs loudly. Through linguistic measures of the recordings, the study found significant differences in three pitch range types between the native English speakers and the learners in the phonological perspective, which might be influenced by Chinese prosody. However, no significant differences were found in the phonetic perspective, which might be impacted by the learners’ native language. In addition, English proficiency did not influence the learners’ performance in the phonological and phonetic perspectives. This may be attributed to the homogeneity among the learners and the effect of their native language. Lastly, focus position significantly influenced the phonological performance of the learners in five pitch range types, which may be explained by multiple factors. However, the effect of focus position on the learners’ phonetic performance was limited to two pitch range types, which may be explained by the principle of least effort.

Published: October 2024

In the last decade, E-commerce has developed into the world's biggest stage for shopping. It has allowed people around the world to directly communicate without any barriers to purchasing the products as per requirements. Internet technologies have reshaped E-commerce since product reviews have become a vital part of online shopping due to their rapid growth. But with widespread usage, it has also brought forth an influx in rates of fake reviews. Fake reviews, which are frequently used to influence public perception, are now a widespread occurrence due to the open nature of E-commerce. Using different learning techniques, many methods and techniques are implemented to spot false reviews and fake behavior. This research aims to use a recurrent neural network (RNN) to combine content and data to identify false product reviews. The proposed approach, which is related to spam indicators, makes use of both product reviews and reviewers' behavioral characteristics. The fine-grained burst pattern analysis is used to conduct a more thorough investigation of produced testimonials during "suspicious" periods in the proposed approach. Additionally, a customer's previous review data are utilized to determine their overall "authorship" reputation, which serves as a barometer for the authenticity of most recent reviews. For the proposed theory, we examined the real-world Amazon review dataset and produced more accurate findings than previous methodologies. In addition to this, our proposed deep learning-based model performance has been validated utilizing the benchmark Yelp Open dataset and IMDB dataset.

Part of speech-based semantic similarity for RDF Predicate Selection : A benchmarking approach
Authors: Khan Aatif Ahmad , Malik Sanjay Kumar , Jain Vanita
Published: October 2024

RDF predicate selection and RDF subject identification are two key steps for effectively processing the natural language queries by the semantic question answering systems. For subject identification, techniques such as Named Entity Recognition are used. For the relatively complex task of predicate selection, Natural Language Processing techniques can be utilized along with knowledge bases to select the semantically matching relationships. Semantic features can be extracted from queries utilizing phrase embeddings of the transformer models. In this paper firstly, a novel Predicate Selection approach on RDF Knowledge Bases has been proposed and implemented utilizing BERT-based phrase embeddings and custom logic for key part-of-speech token combinations. Secondly, the implemented prototype is benchmarked over combinations of key part of speech tokens and stop words for predicate selection accuracy over YAGO Date Facts, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. Benchmarking results also highlight the importance of verb stop words for the task of predicate selection.

Published: October 2024

The article presents a study of the characteristics and technological parameters of bar blanks made of aluminum alloy 7075, depending on the temperature and the forming process. The main goal is to determine the stress-strain state at various temperatures during the production of blanks, which contributes to understanding the mechanism of formation of the structure and properties of bar blanks. To do this, a computer simulation of the process based on the finite element method is used, using the Forge3D software environment. The results obtained confirm the uneven structure in the volume of workpieces, with a pronounced intensity of deformation in the surface layers. The formation of workpieces at different temperatures (200 and 250 °C) showed differences in stress intensity and strain rate, which is important for understanding the processes of formation of microstructure and material properties. Special attention is paid to the influence of temperature on the formation of stresses in the rods, as well as their distribution in thickness and length. The results obtained can be used to optimize the technological parameters of the aluminum alloy forming process in order to improve the quality of the final product and production efficiency. In general, the scientific conclusions of this study contribute to the further development of aluminum alloy processing technologies and their application in various industries.

Authors: N. T. Manabayev  , А.M. Azimov  , Z. A. Ibragimova  , R. N. Manabayev
Published: October 2024

The given article is related to agricultural engineering and the design of milling chisel ploughwith special working bodies for cutting water-absorbing slots with simultaneous introduction of hydrogel mixture into them was developed to increase moisture accumulation in soil in the article. Improved technologies and techniques are needed to improve the quality and quantity of crops, in particular cereals, in order to improve their production. Most of the territory of Kazakhstan belongs to the zone of risky agriculture. Every year there are droughts that significantly reduce cereal yields. Many farmers are making large amounts of fertilizer in order to increase yields. However, there is the problem of unsustainable use of fertilizers. Thus, most of fertilizers introduced into soil is washed into its lower layers and becomes inaccessible to plant roots. Therefore, we propose to use local application of hydrogel retention mixture to accumulate nutrients and soil moisture. Its granules are able to absorb liquid, in volume many times larger than their own, and hold it for a long time. For better nutrition of plants, we offer to enrich hydrogel with fertilizers. Possible machines for application of hydrogel mixture are considered in «Analysis of possible methods of application of hydrogel with fertilizers in soil». It is noted that there are no units capable of carrying out local application of granules with fertilizers together with milling chisel ploughinto seeding area in the modern system of machines. Existing machines allow the application of hydrogel in dispersed or subsoil way, and local application of granules together with fertilizers is used for the first time and allows place hydrogel with saturated fertilizers. The choice of optimal method of application of hydrogel mixture pellet was produced and the machine design for its implementation was developed on the basis of common and private methods.

Plant hormones, or phytohormones, are critical regulators of plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. These bioactive compounds, though present in minute quantities, orchestrate a wide array of physiological processes, including seed germination, root and shoot development, flowering, fruit ripening, and senescence. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the key plant hormones, including auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, ethylene, brassinosteroids, jasmonates, and salicylic acid. Each hormone’s biosynthesis, signaling mechanisms, and functional roles are discussed, highlighting their contributions to various aspects of plant life. Additionally, the review explores how these hormones interact with each other in complex networks to modulate plant responses to internal and external cues. By delving into the intricate hormonal regulatory systems, this review aims to enhance our understanding of how plants coordinate growth and adapt to changing environments. Insights into these hormonal mechanisms not only advance basic plant science but also offer practical applications in agriculture and horticulture, potentially leading to improved crop management, stress resistance, and yield enhancement.

Authors: Iyadi Rollins Chiyem  , Okonji Evelyn Etomi
Published: October 2024

This paper examined the relationship between supply chain management practices (SCM) and performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. It aimed to explain how SCM practices like strategic suppliers’ alliances, information sharing, and collaborative governance impacts the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. SME success was measured using a continuum of operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and profitability. To reach the study's goal, a survey research approach was used, with a sample of 352 respondents representing the owners and senior management members of registered SMEs in Nigeria. Because the study depended on quantitative analysis, respondents' opinions were collected using a standardised closed-ended questionnaire. The gathered data was analysed using IBM SPSS 28 and IBM AMOS. The study found a positive and substantial correlation between chosen SCM practices and the performance of SMEs in Nigeria, as shown by the coefficients and p-values (SSA = 0.544; P <.001; IFS = 0.621; P <.001; CGV = 0.673; P <.001). It is therefore argued that SCM techniques such as strategic partnerships with suppliers, information sharing, and collaborative governance have a favourable and significant influence on the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. Consistent with the findings and current literature, this study recommends that Nigerian SMEs form strategic supplier relationships by sharing continuous improvement programs with important suppliers and include key suppliers in their planning and goal-setting processes.

Abstract : Dance is a form of regional culture that contains many cultural values ​​that are strong in social, cultural, philosophical and spiritual values. The cultural values ​​of each dance movement are able to describe the identity of a region. Students' personalities in character building through dance have the aim of being a form of existence in learning traditional dance at school in forming a learning process that is fun, creative, communicative and aesthetic (Ayu Retnoningsih, 2017).  However, over time, traditional dance has faded with western culture, so the existence of character strengthening has had a decreasing impact. The development of the times coupled with technological developments seems to be eroding various local wisdom values, especially for the younger generation and children (Umi Mahmudah1 et al., n.d.). Therefore, the author wants to provide efforts to prevent the erosion of traditional culture and western culture by preserving dance movements and instilling character from elementary school age, especially at SDN 22 Ampenan. This research uses descriptive qualitative analysis. The research results were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. With this dance training, it is hoped that it can preserve culture and also foster students' character of cooperation, tolerance, discipline, national spirit, love of the country, and responsibility.

Abstract. Long-range transport (LRT) of air pollutants from a range of sources can substantially enhance background pollution levels, especially in urbanized regions, which can exacerbate high-pollution episodes. In the Aburrá Valley (AV), Colombia, and other cities in northern South America, biomass burning (BB), dust, and volcanic degassing have been identified as sources of long-range aerosol transport. However, the impact of these sources on air quality and the characterization of these sources have yet to be thoroughly studied. This work investigates the influence of these sources on the chemical composition of PM2.5 during annual and intra-annual high-load aerosol events in the AV. We identified, tracked, and meteorologically characterized LRT events and evaluated their influence on PM2.5 concentration and chemical composition. We found that the LRT of aerosols from BB, dust, and volcanic degassing influenced approximately 13 %, 8 %, and 13 % of days in the year, respectively. We applied the positive-matrix-factorization (PMF) statistical model to quantify PM2.5 concentrations and chemical compositions for the different LRT event types (e.g., BB). For BB events, we identified large contributions from organic carbon (OC1 and OC2), F−, and secondary aerosol tracers (SO42- and NO3-). For dust LRT events, crustal mineral components, along with Ti and Ca, were the primary contributors to aerosol composition, while SO42-, Na, Al, and Ca were the primary contributors during volcanic events. The concentrations of some ions and toxic heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Cd, and Ni) were also elevated during BB and volcanic-degassing events. BB contributed the most to PM2.5 levels during the LRT events (∼11 µg m−3), while contributions from aerosols arising from dust and volcanic events were also substantial (<7 µg m−3). Our study identifies the Orinoco and the Middle Magdalena Valley as sizable sources of BB aerosols and Nevado del Ruiz as a source of volcanic aerosols. Additionally, we found that African dust reached the Andean region via the Caribbean route. As a result, we identify the need for future chemical-transport modeling studies in the region and new support strategies to manage internal and external pollution sources that degrade air quality in the AV and the surrounding region.

Abstract. Black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) both have a versatile nature, and they have an apparent role in climate variability and changes. As anthropogenic activity is surging, BC and BrC are also reportedly increasing. So, the monitoring of BC and BrC and observations of land use land cover change (LULCC) at a regional level are necessary for the changes in various interconnected meteorological phenomena. The current study investigates BC, BrC, CO2, BC from fossil fuels (BCff), BC from biomass burning (BCbb), and LULCC and their relationship to the corresponding meteorological conditions over Gangtok in the Sikkim Himalayan region. The concentration of BC (BrC) was found to be highest during March 2022 (April 2021) at 43.5 µg m−3 (32.0 µg m−3)​​​​​​​. Surface pressure exhibits a significant positive correlation with BC, BCff, BCbb, and BrC. Higher surface pressure results in a calmer and more stable boundary layer, which effectively retains deposited contaminants. Conversely, the wind appears to facilitate the dispersion of pollutants, showing a strong negative correlation. The fact that all pollutants and precipitation have been shown to behave similarly points to moist scavenging of the pollutants. Despite the dense cloud cover, it is clear that the area is not receiving convective precipitation, implying that orographic precipitation is occurring over the region. Most of Sikkim receives convective rain from May to September, indicating that the region has significant convective activity contributed from the Bay of Bengal during the monsoon season. Furthermore, monsoon months have the lowest concentrations of BC, BCbb, BCff, and BrC, suggesting the potential of convective rain (as rainout scavenging) to remove most of the pollutants.

Abstract. This study delves into the small-scale temperature structure of Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) generated in the Π Chamber under three temperature differences (10 K, 15 K, and 20 K) at Rayleigh number Ra ~ 109 and Prandtl number Pr ≈ 0.7. We performed high resolution measurements (2 kHz) with the UltraFast Thermometer (UFT) at selected points along the vertical axis. The miniaturized design of the sensor featured with a resistive platinum-coated tungsten wire, 2.5 μm thick and 3 mm long, mounted on a miniature wire probe allowed for undisturbed vertical temperature profiling spanning from 8 cm above the bottom surface to 5 cm below the top surface. The resulting rich dataset comprised both long (19 min) and short (3 min) time series, revealing strong variance and skewness in the temperature distributions near both surfaces and in the bulk (central) region linked with local thermal plume dynamics. We also identified three spectral regimes termed inertial range (slopes of ~ −7/5), transition range (slopes of ~−3) and dissipative range, characterized by slopes varying ~ −7. Furthermore, the analysis showed a robust relationship between the periodicity of large-scale circulation (LSC) and the temperature gradient, describable by an exponential relation. Notably, the experimental findings demonstrate strong agreement with Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) conducted under similar thermodynamic conditions, illustrating a rare comparative analysis of this nature.

Abstract. Geological records of past environmental change provide crucial information for assessing long-term climate variability, non-stationarity, and nonlinearities. However, reconstructing spatio-temporal fields from these records is statistically challenging due to their sparse, indirect, and noisy nature. Here, we present PaleoSTeHM, a scalable and modern framework for spatio-temporal hierarchical modeling of paleo-environmental data. This framework enables the implementation of flexible statistical models that rigorously quantify spatial and temporal variability from geological data with clear distinguishing between measurement and inferential uncertainty from process variability. We illustrate its application by reconstructing temporal and spatio-temporal paleo sea-level changes across multiple locations. Using various modeling and analysis choices, PaleoSTeHM demonstrates the impact of different methods on inference results and computational efficiency. Our results highlight the critical role of model selection in addressing specific paleo-environmental questions, showcasing the PaleoSTeHM framework's potential to enhance the robustness and transparency of paleo-environmental reconstructions.

Abstract. In this study, we introduce the Turbulent Enhancement Ratio (TER) method as a new approach for characterizing local emission sources in complex urban environments, with a focus on the city of Innsbruck, Austria. The idea behind the approach is to take advantage of highly time resolved trace gas observations, that allow identifying turbulent air motions, from which a turbulent enhancement ratio can be constructed. We use a comprehensive measurement setup at the Innsbruck Atmospheric Observatory utilizing advanced instruments to test the approach. Our dataset, spanning from mid-2018 to early 2022, includes periods affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to assess the impact of reduced traffic and changes in domestic fuel use on NOx/CO2 emission ratios. We test the approach by comparing with direct eddy covariance flux measurements of these tracers. The results show a statistically significant linear relationship between TER and the flux ratio of NOx over CO2, with regression slopes ranging between 0.96 to 1.1. Weekday TER values are generally higher due to increased traffic, while weekend values are lower, reflecting reduced commuter activity. Seasonal analysis shows that winter TER is influenced significantly by domestic heating, while in summer, traffic is the predominant source of NOx and CO2 emissions within the measurement footprint. The diurnal cycle of TER also highlights the role of valley wind systems in modulating local emissions through changes in footprint, with valley-up winds bringing higher traffic-related emissions to the site during the day. Our findings demonstrate that TER is a robust predictor for emission ratios in urban settings, offering insights into the dynamics of local emissions. The method's ability to capture turbulent fluctuations provides a more nuanced understanding of source contributions, particularly in environments with complex and mixed emission sources.

Abstract. In this work, we present HMMLVis, an original visualization tool for multivariate Granger causal inference. More precisely, for heterogeneous Granger causality to infer causal relationships in time-series following an exponential distribution. HMMLVis is easy to use and can be applied in any scientific discipline exploring time series and their relationships. In this paper, we focus on climatological and meteorological applications. The visualization tool is demonstrated on different types of applications related to meteorological events on the upper/lower tails of the respective distributions using a renewable energy (wind, PV), air pollution, and the EUMETNET postprocessing benchmark data set (EUPPBench) and different temporal horizons. We demonstrate that the HMMLVis method and visualization depicts the known causal and detects causal relations in the temporal dependencies which are additional important information for the respective cases. We believe that HMMVis as an interpretable visualization tool will serve climatologists or meteorologists and in this way it will contribute to knowledge discovery in these scientific fields.
