Authors: Bertozzi Michela
Published: November 2024

Este artículo es una propuesta preliminar de un modelo de evaluación de la interpretación de conferencias (tanto simultánea como consecutiva) que viene de la experiencia desarrollada en el Departamento de Interpretación y Traducción (DIT) de la Universidad de Bologna, y, precisamente, de las buenas prácticas que surgieron de las actividades de apoyo a la didáctica (ejercitaciones) y extra-curriculares (tutorías) de interpretación entre italiano y español. Sin embargo, dichas buenas prácticas se pueden aplicar a cualquiera combinación lingüística. El modelo se basa en tres fases: autoevaluación, evaluación entre pares y heteroevaluación. En la segunda parte se describen las modalidades y los métodos de aplicación de este enfoque en el DIT y, finalmente, se vislumbran algunos potenciales desarrollos aplicativos de la investigación.
Humanitarian Protection for Prisoners of War and Refugees in the Long Aftermath of the First World War
Authors: Piana Francesca
Published: November 2024

At the end of WWI, millions of military and civilians were displaced across Europe, the south of the Caucasus, and the Eastern Mediterranean. While the majority made their way home, genocide, revolution, and post-war instabilities complicated the repatriation of prisoners of war from Russia and the Central Powers and pushed Russian and Armenian refugees into exile. In response, an array of international organizations intervened: three of them, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the League of Nations, and the International Labor Organization, implemented humanitarian, political, and legal measures to protect prisoners of war and refugees. This book tells a story of failures and innovations, where humanitarians interacted with the persons assisted in refugee camps, agricultural colonies, trains, and harbors, which were often situated “at the doors of Europe” in order to preserve peace at its heart. Diplomatic negotiations and mundane practices of care concurred in the emergence of a plural, discordant, and partial governance of refugee protection.
Emerging Trends and Future Directions in Artificial Intelligence for Museums: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis Based on Scopus (1983-2024)
Authors: Siri Anna
Published: November 2024

Artificial Intelligence is changing the future of museums, opening the door to unprecedented innovations that are revolutionising the way collections are managed and experiences are designed. This bibliometric analysis, covering four decades of research (1983-2024) from the Scopus database, explores how Artificial Intelligence is transforming museum activities — from creating personalised visitor experiences to preserving cultural treasures through advanced digitisation processes. The study shows that the number of publications on Artificial Intelligence has increased dramatically in recent years, reflecting the growing momentum in the field.

The integration of AI in museums demands careful reflection on its implications for human rights, cultural values, and social responsibility. As AI adoption accelerates, addressing ethical concerns—such as potential biases, transparency, and accountability—has become increasingly vital. Institutions are encouraged to develop robust ethical frameworks that mitigate these risks, ensuring AI does not reinforce inequalities or distort cultural representation. By embracing AI responsibly, museums can not only enhance visitor engagement and streamline operations but also uphold their commitment to inclusivity, safeguarding their role as stewards of knowledge, culture, and education.
Legal Perspective on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Corporate Governance in Nigeria: Potentials and Challenges
Authors: Richard Moses Peace
Published: November 2024

From a legal standpoint, this paper critically examines the potential and challenges in deploying Artificial (AI) Intelligence in corporate governance in Nigeria. The examination revealed that leveraging AI in corporate governance could enhance corporate efficiency in Nigeria through improved decision-making, risk management, financial reporting, and stakeholder protection and engagement. However, possible bias and data privacy breaches are significant risks that pose ethical challenges when AI is deployed in corporate governance. Particularly, Nigeria is bisected by several socio-economic challenges, such as a lack of a robust AI framework and insufficient technological expertise to develop and optimize AI systems. Furthermore, Nigeria currently lacks comprehensive national AI legislation, thereby resulting in the absence of a legal basis for the effective deployment of AI in corporate governance and board management. Against this backdrop, this paper proposes an AI-based corporate governance framework, which can be adapted into future legislative reforms to streamline decision-making processes and improve board accountability and stakeholders’ protection in companies. Overall, it argues that AI legislation and policies are vital to the success of efforts to implement AI-based corporate governance in Nigeria.
Challenges and Teaching Materials in English for Young Learners in Sweden
Authors: Nilsson Maria
Published: November 2024

Recent European studies in the field of primary English education identify a number of challenges related to language development, motivation, and diversity of proficiency levels among learners. Nevertheless, early language instruction remains under-researched. The current study investigates challenges perceived by Swedish primary teachers of English and their thoughts and experiences regarding teaching materials. The study takes a special interest in picturebooks because they are often foregrounded as useful resources for promoting both motivation and language learning. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through an online questionnaire with 109 Swedish teachers for school years F–6. The findings reveal that the substantial heterogeneity of proficiency levels among learners is the biggest challenge facing teachers. In addition, the teachers reported challenges related to this diversity, such as a shortage of teaching materials to cater to varying needs and difficulties in engaging all learners in oral language production. Teaching materials used often comprise downloaded resources, coursebooks, or YouTube clips. Although many teachers are positive toward the potential of picturebooks as an instructional resource, most reported not using them. The findings are discussed in relation to the goals of early English instruction, the current understanding of young language learners, and communicative language teaching.
The Regional Scale of Landscape Planning: the Possibilities for Measuring the Effectiveness of Nature-Based Solutions
Authors: Amaral Rubens do , Bezerra Maria do Carmo de Lima
Published: November 2024

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the measurement of landscape integrity based on ecological support processes in the Federal District, with the aim of defining a multi-scalar and multi-functional Regional Green Infrastructure Network (IVR) based on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS).
 
Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories that underpin the research. Landscape Ecology, Restoration Ecology, Green Infrastructure and Geodesign stand out, providing a solid basis for understanding the research context.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises the analysis of ecological support processes in the landscape, using the multispectral “CO2flux” index, related to the photosynthetic efficiency of vegetation and a proxy for energy, carbon and biomass inputs, which, together with the “Topographic Wetness Index”, related to the flow and accumulation of water and sediment in the landscape, provided the basis for the elaboration of a Geodesign process. Data was collected using multispectral satellite scenes - “Landsat 8”, collected during the dry season.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed the design of a mosaic of “hotspots”, corridors and patches that consolidates and intensifies carbon flows in the Federal District's landscape, with positive impacts on territorial resilience. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in the light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing “insights” into how the results can be applied, or how to influence practices in the field of landscape planning. These implications can cover the design of Nature-Based Solutions at a regional scale, climate mitigation and adaptation actions for territories, and people's access to ecosystem services.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by proposing the design of a regional network of green infrastructures based on the analysis of the flow of ecological support processes in the landscape, considering different demands and goals for environmental recovery. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by the possibility of planning and designing mosaics in the landscape based on the identification of networks with greater potential for the provision of ecosystem services and, consequently, for the adaptation and mitigation of territories to climate impacts and those resulting from human occupation.

Method: The methodology adopted involves conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) in the Capes Periodicals database, covering publications from the last 10 years. Ten articles were selected for analysis, in addition to 4 articles specific to Pará. The analysis was guided by three research questions related to environmental impacts, mitigating actions and actors involved in RL.
 
Results and Discussion: The main results indicate that the inadequate disposal of EW causes significant damage to the environment and human health. RL was identified as the main mitigating action, with the government being the most relevant actor in the implementation of public policies.
 
Research Implications: This research contributes by providing a comparative overview between Brazil and Pará, offering support for improvements in EW management and sustainability policies.
 
Originality/Value: The originality of the study lies in the comparative analysis of national and regional data, highlighting the relevance of public policies in the context of RL.
Music’s Influence on Cardiovascular Parameters During Cognitive Testing
Authors: Al-Aboosi Yousif , Apolot Julia , Asgarali Riaz , Lai Nathan , Meghdadi Amin , Tuitt-Barnes Dream
Published: November 2024

BackgroundMozart’s music has been found to decrease stress and anxiety by decreasing blood pressure and heart rate in diverse populations. However, the influence on Mozart during cognitive tests remains unclear. Due to its proven anti-stress effects, Mozart’s music may be an effective tool for decreasing cardiovascular parameters during cognitive testing.
MethodsThe cognitive test chosen was an untimed pattern-recognition Mensa test. The chosen song was Mozart’s Sonata K448. We included 10 adult participants who met the inclusion criteria. A matched pair study design was incorporated. All participants completed a diagnostic test that assessed relative cardiovascular sensitivities to the acute stress produced by the Mensa test. Participants were matched based on cardiovascular sensitivities, rating of momentary stress, and sex. Pairs were then randomly allocated to take the test again; one took the test while listening to Mozart’s Sonata K448, the other took it in silence. Post-test evaluations were then completed.
ResultsIn both groups, the intervention did not induce significant changes in BP or HR, except for a significant decrease in SBP in the no music group (p=0.043). When comparing the difference in relative blood pressure and heart rate changes between the two groups, none were significantly different. There were significant decreases in perceived stress and increases in perceived relaxation in the music group (p=0.024 and p=0.039, respectively).
ConclusionOur findings suggest that Mozart’s music does not decrease cardiovascular responses during cognitive testing. Additionally, perceived stress is independent of cardiovascular indicators of stress which has unknown implications.
A Contemporary Perspective on Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Authors: Munro Cole
Published: November 2024

Stem cells serve as an internal repair system by replacing other cells that are worn out or damaged, essentially always keeping the body at maximum capacity. However, the primary method of obtaining human embryonic stem cells (hESC) is by harvesting embryos not used by In Vitro Fertilization clinics, which raises the question if this shows a lack of respect for human life. From one perspective, the leftover embryos from fertility treatment will never develop into a child unless it is implanted in the uterine wall and using them to help treat devastating diseases is better than disposing of them as biological waste. However, others believe the embryos are human beings and that this type of research is tortuous. hESC research has the potential to revolutionize medical treatment and save millions of lives, but we must ensure that we push the boundaries of science while maintaining the utmost respect for human life.
Exploring the Use of Grifola Frondosa in the Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration - A Proposed Methodology
Authors: Ostrovski Sophia , Zinner Sean
Published: November 2024

Ergothioneine is a compound with demonstrated antioxidant properties that is found in high concentrations in the Grifola Frondosa mushroom. While the therapeutic effects of this substance have been investigated in various conditions related to oxidative stress, studies have not yet explored its role in preventing age-related macular degeneration. This is a progressive condition characterized by central vision loss due to reduction in the retinal pigment epithelium, for which oxidative damage is a significant risk factor. This study will explore whether administration of ergothioneine extract will reduce three major biomarkers of age-related oxidative stress. Ergothioniene will be administered to both wild-type and erythroid 2-related factor 2 knockout mice and compared to two corresponding control groups, for a total of four groups. Treatment will be administered at a dosage of 2 mg/kg body weight daily for 4 weeks. Quantitative autofluorescence, high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay techniques will be utilized to assess biomarkers. One-way analysis of variance will be used to determine statistical significance. This study intends to aid in the development of novel treatment compounds and encourage further explorations into the role of free radicals in various ophthalmological diseases.

Published: November 2024

Lisdexamfetamine (LDX), an inactive prodrug of dexamphetamine, is used as a second-line treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and for moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED). The objective of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of two LDX formulations, including the reference product manufactured by Patheon Pharmaceuticals (Venvanse® 70 mg) versus a formulation manufactured by Eurofarma Laboratórios S/A. A randomized, crossover, open-label study was conducted with two treatments, two periods, two sequences, and 48 healthy participants of both sexes who received oral administration of the medications. A total of 24 blood samples were collected from each participant, from T0 (before taking the medication) to 10 hours later. The plasma concentration of LDX was quantified using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Both formulations were well tolerated, and no serious adverse events were reported. Cmax and AUC0-t were compared: the ratio between the test and reference formulations for Cmax was 106.22% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 97.72% - 116.66% and a power of 98.75%. The ratio between the test and reference formulations for AUC0-t was 106.28%, CI (100.68% - 112.19%), with a power of 100.00%. The ratio between the test and reference formulations for AUC0-inf was 106.29%, CI (100.71% - 112.17%), with a power of 100.00%. The formulations were shown to be statistically bioequivalent in terms of their rate and extent of absorption, based on criteria established by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).

Relación entre equidad de género, no discriminación y practicas educativas, su contribución en educación superior
Authors: Castillo Hernández José Andrés , Villagrán-Pecina Nancy Fe Oralia , Leal-Salas Nelson
Published: November 2024

La igualdad de género en la educación no depende únicamente de las prácticas educativas, sino también de factores culturales y sociales que influyen en la desigualdad. Creencias tradicionales, como priorizar la familia sobre la carrera para las mujeres, limitan sus oportunidades económicas y políticas. A pesar del avance en la educación superior, las políticas de equidad pueden considerarse discriminatorias hacia los hombres y no abordar las causas profundas de las disparidades de género. Sin embargo, la equidad de género en la educación es crucial para mejorar el acceso y la calidad educativa, así como para crear un entorno más inclusivo. Las políticas educativas con perspectiva de género son fundamentales, aunque requieren recursos y compromiso de todos los actores sociales para ser efectivas. Solo así se podrá lograr una verdadera igualdad, no solo en la educación, sino en todos los ámbitos de la vida, el ser estudiante te prepara para ello.

Authors: Abubakar Usman , Falade Ayotunde Atanda , Ibrahim Hussaini Aliyu
Published: November 2024

Integrating artificial AI technologies in education has revolutionised teaching, learning, and assessment worldwide. In Nigerian tertiary institutions, students increasingly rely on AI tools for assignments, research, and exam preparation, raising concerns about the integrity of traditional assessment methods. This paper explores the impact of AI technologies on academic performance and the challenges they pose to accurately evaluating student capabilities. It argues for the urgent need to redefine assessment strategies in Nigerian higher education to preserve academic standards while harnessing the benefits of AI. The study highlights ethical concerns such as data privacy, access inequality, and over-reliance on AI tools, which can undermine critical thinking skills. It provides countermeasures and policy recommendations, including establishing AI usage guidelines, promoting equitable access to technology, and integrating assessments that prioritise critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By adopting these innovative policies, Nigerian tertiary institutions can enhance the quality of education and ensure that students develop genuine skills and academic excellence. This paper calls for immediate action to align education with the realities of the AI age, ensuring sustainable and authentic student outcomes.
Processing of Machine Translation Errors by Korean Learners of English: An Eye-tracking Study
Authors:   Institute of British & American Studies Center for International Area Studies Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Chung Eun Seon
Published: November 2024

The present study investigates second language (L2) processing of machine translation (MT) errors in Korean-to-English translations using an eye-tracker. Twenty-five Korean learners of English participated in an Acceptability Judgment Task in which they had to rate the accuracy of Korean-to-English translated sentences while their reading times, fixations, and revisits were recorded. The effect of proficiency level (high vs. low), six error types, and language (English vs. Korean) on the participants’ responses and reading measures were examined and analyzed. The findings indicate that high-proficiency learners demonstrated a clearer differentiation between accurate and inaccurate translations and were better at recognizing errors related to proverbs and subjects, while low-proficiency learners exhibited a higher number of revisits and fixations especially when processing subject-related errors. These findings highlight the importance of proficiency level in shaping how learners process MT errors and have important pedagogical implications for MT-assisted language instruction.
On the terms denoting the five kinds of livestock in the Oka subdialect of the Buryat language (compared with Mongolian cognates)
Authors:   Institute for Linguistic Studies RAS, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Mazarchuk A.V.
Published: November 2024

The article addresses the terms denoting the five kinds of livestock animals of different ages and sex in the Oka subdialect of the Buryat language. The semantics of these terms is compared with that of their Khalkha cognates, paying attention to the Oka and Khalkha livestock naming systems as a whole. The linguistic materials were collected during fieldwork conducted in the Okinsky District of the Republic of Buryatia in 2022. The Oka speakers were found to employ a method of counting the age of an animal that aligns with the traditional Russian approach, which differs from the Mongol tradition of adding the duration of pregnancy to the age of the animal as a year, regardless of the actual length of the pregnancy. As a result, the animals designated as one-year-olds in Oka and two-year-olds in Khalkha, two-year-olds in Oka and three-year-olds in Khalkha, and so on, are essentially of the same age. Moreover, the semantics of certain terms in Oka and Khalkha may not be entirely consistent. For example, the word spelled in Mongolian as teke (from the Old Turkic tekä) means ‘wild goat’ in Khalkha and ‘stud goat’ in Oka. The Oka livestock naming system has fewer terms than the Khalkha system. Consequently, the Khalkha classification of livestock is more detailed. It can be supposed that the reasons for the latter fact may be rooted in the distinctive lifestyle of Oka speakers, which differs considerably from that of Mongols.
Articulatory parameters of palatality and palatalization in Mongolian languages
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch RAS, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation, Selyutina I.Ya.
Published: November 2024

This study determines the articulatory parameters of palatality and palatalization in the northern Mongolian languages of Russia and Mongolia. The research is based on experimental phonetic data obtained through linguistic and instrumental somatic methods, including radiography, dentopalatography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The findings enable us to assert the presence of two approaches for incorporating the concept of softness into their consonant systems. In the Khori-Buryat and Khalkha-Mongolian languages, the dominant acoustic effect for conveying the softness of sound is palatalization. Conversely, in the Kalmyk language, this function is fulfilled by middle-lingual consonants. In Mongolian languages, palatalization is characterized by more than just the upward movement of the middle part of the tongue to the hard palate, as commonly presumed in general phonetics. Additionally, it entails the forward and upward movement of the entire compressed body of the tongue. The speech tract rearrangement produces a significant posterior pharyngeal area within the resonator cavity. This particular formation is responsible for amplifying highfrequency components in the audio signal spectrum, which are perceptually associated with the softness of sound. The differences in the linguistic status of palatality (softness) and palatalization (softening) in the languages under consideration are determined by the peculiarities of the structural and taxonomic organization of the phonico-phonological systems. Despite the genetic proximity of the Khori-Buryat, KhalkhaMongolian, and Kalmyk languages, each language employs distinct pronunciation strategies to create the auditory impression of softness. These tactics are influenced by the unique articulatory-acoustic characteristics developed within each ethnic group over centuries

From pancreas to pleura: Unraveling a rare complication
Authors: Archana M. , Divya J. , Amruth V. C. , Manju M. D.
Published: November 2024

Pancreaticopleural fistulas (PPFs) are a rare and challenging condition in both clinical and diagnostic aspects. It is a rare complication of pancreatitis resulting from pancreatic collections communicating with the pleural cavity. They primarily cause respiratory system symptoms and pleural effusion. We present a case of a 30-year-old male with alcohol-induced pancreatitis presented with 2 months history of shortness of breath and cough. Chest radiograph demonstrated right massive pleural effusion. Repeated thoracentesis showed recurrent hemorrhagic pleural fluid with increased amylase and lipase. Computed tomography revealed no significant cause, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a fistulous tract between the pancreas and the right pleural cavity. The patient’s clinical presentation was misleading due to respiratory complaints, and a high clinical suspicion of PPF in recurrent massive hemorrhagic pleural effusion will lead to this diagnosis.
The role of erythropoietin in the treatment of ocular disorders: A literature review
Authors: Mohamed Siraj Hashim
Published: November 2024

Erythropoietin (EPO), traditionally known for its role in hematopoiesis, has garnered increasing attention for its neuroprotective properties, particularly in ocular disorders. This literature review explores the diverse roles of EPO in ocular health and its potential therapeutic applications. EPO’s involvement in ocular organogenesis and maintenance is highlighted, with evidence suggesting its correlation with gestational age and expression alongside crucial regulatory genes during eye development. Pre-clinical studies demonstrate EPO’s efficacy in preserving retinal integrity and mitigating neuronal damage in animal models of glaucoma, methanol optic neuropathy, and optic neuritis. Clinical investigations further support these findings, showing improvements in visual acuity and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients treated with EPO. However, challenges such as optimizing dosage regimens and determining the most effective route of administration remain. Despite these challenges, EPO presents a promising avenue for vision preservation and the management of ocular disorders. Further research, including large-scale clinical trials and mechanistic studies, is warranted to solidify EPO’s role as a safe and effective therapeutic option in ocular diseases.
Can real-time flange tightness monitoring be possible with strains? A numerical pre-study.
Authors: Witteveen W. , Desch S. , Koller L.

The tightness of a flange depends on the current deformation state of the structure. For obvious reasons, this could be a critical and important information. In this paper, numerical preliminary investigations are presented on the question whether the deformation state inside a contact surface can be estimated in a very short time with a few strain measurements outside the contact surface.The presented theory is numerically evaluated using a flange with 12 bores. It turns out, that the deformation inside the contact area, and therefore the tightness, can be computed out of strain data in milliseconds. The magnitude of the strains are in a measurable range and the numerical results show robustness against noise. Even if the presented approach may not be applicable one-to-one for measurements, this numerical preliminary investigation shows that mechanical strains could in principal be used to observe the state or the tightness within a joint.

Статья посвящена исследованию задачи определения для акторной вычислительной системы комплексного показателя осуществимости, который может быть выражен в виде бинарной характеристической функции. Эта функция зависит от разрешимости и перечислимости множества промежуточных значений параметров решаемой вычислительной задачи, реализуемости вычислительной системы, т. е. ее способности выполнять весь комплекс необходимых вычислительных операций за заданный ограниченный интервал времени (цикл вычислений), а также от степени доверия к функциональной надежности и информационной безопасности вычислительной системы, выражаемых в виде интегрального показателя доверия. В статье излагается описание акторной модели вычислительной системы в рамках теории чисел. Предлагаемое описание опирается на представление вычислительной системы в виде композиции акторов – носителей функций, определения вычислимости этих функций, а также разрешимости и перечислимости числовых множеств значений параметров, задаваемых для вычислительной системы и возникающих в ней в процессе решения поставленных задач. Рассмотрены подходы к обеспечению разрешимости, реализуемости и доверия к вычислительной системе. Констатировано, что выбор память-ориентированной архитектуры вычислений, исходя из требования реализуемости, также является целесообразным с точки зрения обеспечения разрешимости, перечислимости и обеспечения доверия к вычислительной системе.

The paper is devoted to the study of the problem of determining a complex feasibility indicator for an actor computing system, which can be expressed as a binary characteristic function. This function depends on the solvability and enumerability of the set of intermediate values of the parameters of the computational problem to be solved, the feasibility of the computational system, i.e. its ability to perform the entire set of necessary computational operations for a given limited time interval (computation cycle), as well as on the degree of confidence in the functional reliability and information security of the computational system, expressed in the form of an integral confidence index. The paper presents a description of the actor model of a computing system in the framework of number theory. The proposed description is based on the representation of a computing system in the form of a composition of actors – function carriers, definitions of computability of these functions, as well as solvability and enumerability of numerical sets of parameter values set for a computing system and arising in it in the process of solving the set tasks. Approaches to ensuring solvability, realisability and trust in the computational system are considered. It is stated that the choice of memory-oriented architecture of computations based on the requirement of realisability is also reasonable from the point of view of providing decidability, enumerability and ensuring trust to the computing system.

A prospective punctual sampling was carried out during the rainy season where the quality of the water (nutrients such as: nitrites, sulfates, phosphates and ammonium) and the fish community (ichthyofauna) were measured by means of UVC methodology (underwater visual census), in the ecotourism site “El Remate” which is located in the municipality of Calkiní, Campeche, where an increase in tourism is expected from the “Mayan Train” megaproject. Water quality tests did not reflect a significant anthropic impact on the water body and the ichthyofauna presented ecological characteristics similar to those reported by Torres-Castro et al. (2009), although the number of reported species decreased. The results of this study are proposed as ecological references to continue monitoring this ecosystem and thus address the uncertainty about the impact of the increase in tourist influx on ecosystems of this type.

Filling a critical need: a lightweight and fast Gaussian puff model implementation

Atmospheric dispersion models are a key component for characterizing methane emissions on oil and gas sites. While some model implementations with varying degrees of complexity are available, existing regulatory-grade dispersion models are cumbersome to apply within an inversion framework on a routine operational level or at scale, and require a gamut of meteorologic information that is typically not available in field operations. Simple Gaussian plume models on the other hand, fail to incorporate changing wind regimes that are routinely observed and prove relevant in practice. Filling this critical need, we provide a computationally efficient and scalable version of the Gaussian puff model with a thresholding algorithm that is two orders of magnitude faster than a naive implementation and only requires readily available meteorological data. Our comparison shows that the Gaussian puff model is higher fidelity and able to capture temporal variation in atmospheric transport better than the commonly used Gaussian plume model. This computationally-efficient and scalable Gaussian puff implementation can be applied to model near-field atmospheric transport in a broad range of applications including the timely call to quickly infer methane emissions from measurements on oil and gas sites for efficient mitigation.
A Rapid-heating Copper Block Reactor System for Improved Isothermal Kinetics of Polyethylene Pyrolysis

Developing continuous-flow pyrolysis reactors is essential to meet the increasing demand for plastic pyrolysis oil. The literature reports approximately 200 kinetic studies on the pyrolysis of polyethylene (PE) published in around 50 papers. The reported activation energies vary significantly from 42 to 586 kJ/mol. Most of these studies use non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) equipment or batch systems, both with prolonged heating times, which affect kinetic measurements because significant polymer reactions occur before reaching the isothermal temperature. We present a novel, affordable, copper-based semi-batch reactor system that reaches the set temperature within three minutes. Through simulation, we demonstrate the superiority of this system over the commonly used stainless-steel reactors. We utilized this system to measure the isothermal kinetics of PE pyrolysis at temperatures between 411 and 449 °C. Employing a discrete lump methodology, we identified a five-lump reaction model: three polymer chains (S1, S2, S3), liquid (L), and gas (G), with reactions progressing in series and then in parallel. The initial decomposition steps exhibited similar activation energies of 360±17 and 357±06 kJ/mol, indicating that molecular weight has little effect on the initial PE pyrolysis rate. The parallel paths producing liquid and gas had activation energies of 288±02 and 179±13 kJ/mol, respectively, with an average of 234 kJ/mol, matching the literature TG non-isothermal median. The proposed system facilitates an accurate isothermal kinetic data measurement that can be used in designing improved continuous-flow reactor systems for plastics pyrolysis to achieve global sustainability goals.
