Authors: L. Tano Precioso , P. Tano Carol
Published: April 2024

Family is the basic unit of the society where the child’s upbringing must start since his or her birth. The home is very pertinent and pertinent to a child’s well-being and development in later life. It is assumed to have significant influences over the students’ academic motivation and success. Researchers believed that the obligation of the family to a child at any given time cannot be exaggerated. Phenomenological research design was used by this qualitative paper to recognize the assessment and lived experiences of the respondents, categorically the students of Philippine School Doha, parallel to the central question: “How do the students assess the family influences on their academic motivation?” The researchers gathered the data through a robotfoto and twenty semi-structured interview questionnaires. The data were analyzed using an inductive approach. Findings have shown that familial background, familial expectation, familial interaction, and familial involvement between and among family members greatly influenced students’ academic motivation and success. For every student, they have their familial background, familial expectation, familial interaction, and familial involvement that work hand in hand that influenced their academic motivation and success. This paper suggests that future researchers to expand the number of respondents further to have a broader range of responses. The respondents chosen should be coming from different levels from different educational institutions to check whether all students would share the same type of responses.
The Idea of an Integration Interface for Model-based Software Development's Processor-in-the-Loop (PiL) Simulation
Authors: Kale Ganesh , Roering Gregor
Published: April 2024

Model-based design (MBD) has become a cornerstone in the development of embedded software, particularly in the automotive industry. Processor-in-the- Loop (PiL) simulation bridges the gap between virtual simulation environments and real hardware, enabling early verification and validation of control algorithms running on target processors. The design and implementation of toolchain is required for target specific code generation, compilation, and execution. Developing a toolchain specifically for the target architecture is crucial to preventing errors and ensuring smooth production. The configuration and designing of toolchain are one time effort of all Simulink model which want to be test on board. This research investigates the importance of PiL for embedded systems in the automobile area. It describes the construction of a toolchain that integrates PiL simulation with Simulink, a popular MBD tool. The paper discusses the unique integration of TRACE32, a debugger and code analysis tool, with Simulink for testing programmes on Infineon devices. TPT makes use of graphical test models that are easy to understand and have the capacity to automate complex closed loop tests in real time. It was Daimler Software Technology Research that initially developed TPT. Nowadays, vendors and automakers employ it in their development projects for production vehicles.

Plasma flow vorticity is ubiquitous in space and plays a key role in material mixing and energy transfer. The five THEMIS satellites orbiting in different regions of the terrestrial magnetotail provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the temporal–spatial evolution characteristics of a plasma flow vortex on large spatial scales. We present an analysis of the flow vorticity that occurred between 05:50 and 06:30 UT on 2009 March 23 during a quiet time of the terrestrial magnetotail. The uneven distributions of the density and temperature of the vortex observed by the three near-Earth satellites (THA, THD, and THE) indicate that the plasma in the solar wind gradually mixed into the near-Earth magnetotail through a series of nonequilibrium processes. Both the flow vortices and dipolarization observed by the three near-Earth satellites were about 10 minutes earlier than those observed by the two satellites (THB and THC) in the mid-magnetotail. Further analysis of the relationship between vorticity, field-aligned current, and energy transport reveals that the flow vortex interacted with the surrounding plasma during its tailward propagation. The field-aligned current related to the vorticity could only generate a pseudo-breakup of the aurora in the ionosphere. Thus, we speculate that this flow vortex mainly transports mass and energy from the solar wind to the near-magnetotail, propagates tailward to the mid-magnetotail, and heats the encountered plasma by dissipating its bulk flow and dominant thermal energy. These results shed light on the mass mixing, energy transport, and dissipation of the plasma flow vortex during quiet levels of geomagnetic activity on large spatial scales.
Comparison of Solar Multifrequency Microwave Data with Other Solar Indices for Understanding Solar and Stellar Microwave Data

Published: April 2024

Thermal microwave emissions detected from stellar atmospheres contain information on stellar activity. However, even for the Sun, the relationship between multifrequency microwave data and other activity indices remains unclear. We investigated the relationships among the thermal microwave fluxes with 1, 2, 3.75, and 9.4 GHz, their circular polarizations, and several activity indices recorded during recent solar cycles and observed that these relationships can be categorized into two groups. In the first group, the relationship between the microwave fluxes and solar indices, which are strongly related to the active regions, can be well-fitted by using a linear function. In the second group, the fitting function is dependent on frequency. Specifically, the microwave fluxes at 1 and 2 GHz can be well-fitted to the total unsigned magnetic and extreme ultraviolet fluxes by employing a power-law function. The trend changes around 3.75 GHz, and the trend for the 9.4 GHz fluxes can be fitted by using a linear function. For the first time, we present the relationship between circular polarization and solar indices. Moreover, we extrapolated these relationships of the solar microwave fluxes to higher values and compared them with the solar-type stars. We found that ϵ Eri, whose microwave emission originates from thermal plasma, follows the extrapolated relationship. However, to date, only one star’s emission at 1–10 GHz has been confirmed as thermal emission. More solar-type stars should be observed with future radio interferometers to confirm that relationships based on solar data can be applied to stellar microwave data.
Developing an Automated Detection, Tracking, and Analysis Method for Solar Filaments Observed by CHASE via Machine Learning

Published: April 2024

Studies on the dynamics of solar filaments have significant implications for understanding their formation, evolution, and eruption, which are of great importance for space weather warning and forecasting. The Hα Imaging Spectrograph (HIS) on board the recently launched Chinese Hα Solar Explorer (CHASE) can provide full-disk solar Hα spectroscopic observations, which bring us an opportunity to systematically explore and analyze the plasma dynamics of filaments. The dramatically increased observation data require automated processing and analysis, which are impossible if dealt with manually. In this paper, we utilize the U-Net model to identify filaments and implement the Channel and Spatial Reliability Tracking algorithm for automated filament tracking. In addition, we use the cloud model to invert the line-of-sight velocity of filaments and employ the graph theory algorithm to extract the filament spine, which can advance our understanding of the dynamics of filaments. The favorable test performance confirms the validity of our method, which will be implemented in the following statistical analyses of filament features and dynamics of CHASE/HIS observations.
Shell-type Tidal Features Are More Frequently Detected in Slowly Rotating Early-type Galaxies than Stream- and Tail-type Features
Authors: Yoon Yongmin , Ko Jongwan , Chung Haeun , Byun Woowon , Chun Kyungwon
Published: April 2024

To enhance our understanding of the impact of galaxy mergers on the kinematics of early-type galaxies (ETGs), we examine differences in specific stellar angular momentum within the half-light radius (

λ

R

e

) among ETGs with different types of tidal features and those without such features. This is accomplished by categorizing tidal features, which serve as direct evidence of recent mergers, into shells, streams, and tails, through deep images from the DESI Legacy Survey, and by using MaNGA data for the analysis of the kinematics of 1244 ETGs at z < 0.055. We find that ETGs with tidal features typically have reduced

λ

R

e

values that are lower by 0.12 dex than ETGs without tidal features. ETGs with shells contribute most to the reduction in

λ

R

e

. Consequently, nearly half of ETGs with shells are classified as slow rotators, a fraction that is more than twice as high as that of ETGs with tails or streams, and over three times higher than that of ETGs without tidal features. These trends generally remain valid even when ETGs are divided into several mass bins. Our findings support the idea that radial mergers, which are more effective at reducing

λ

R

e

than circular mergers, are more closely associated with the formation of shells rather than streams or tails. The detection of shells in slightly more massive ETGs compared to streams and tails may be attributed to the fact that massive satellite galaxies are more likely to be accreted through radial orbits, due to the nature of dynamical friction.
AspGap: Augmented Stellar Parameters and Abundances for 37 Million Red Giant Branch Stars from Gaia XP Low-resolution Spectra
Authors: Li 李 Jiadong 佳东 , Wong Kaze W. K. , Hogg David W. , Rix Hans-Walter , Chandra Vedant
Published: April 2024

We present AspGap, a new approach to inferring stellar labels from the low-resolution Gaia XP spectra, including precise [α/M] estimates—the first time these are obtained by such an approach. AspGap is a neural-network-based regression model trained on APOGEE spectra. In the training step, AspGap learns to use not only XP spectra to predict stellar labels but also the high-resolution APOGEE spectra that lead to the same stellar labels. The inclusion of this last model component—dubbed the hallucinator—creates a more physically motivated mapping and significantly improves the prediction of stellar labels in the validation, particularly that of [α/M]. For giant stars, we find cross-validated rms accuracies for T
eff, log g, [M/H], and [α/M] of ∼1%, 0.12 dex, 0.07 dex, and 0.03 dex, respectively. We also validate our labels through comparison with external data sets and through a range of astrophysical tests that demonstrate that we are indeed determining [α/M] from the XP spectra, rather than just inferring it indirectly from correlations with other labels. We publicly release the AspGap codebase, along with our stellar parameter catalog for all giants observed by Gaia XP. AspGap enables the discovery of new insights into the formation and chemodynamics of our Galaxy by providing precise [α/M] estimates for 37 million giant stars, including 14 million with radial velocities from Gaia.

Published: April 2024

Digital twin approaches have the potential to revolutionise usage, planning and management of cultural ecosystem services i.e. the non-material benefits people obtain from ecosystems, including recreation, tourism, intellectual development, spiritual enrichment, reflection, and aesthetic experiences. Here we outline our blueprint for a prototype digital twin (pDT) for cultural ecosystem services. The pDT consists of two modelling components; a recreation potential model to quantify the cultural ecosystem services of the physical landscape and species distribution models to quantify the biodiversity component. It is envisaged that the digital twin will be used primarily by two user types 1. those who wanted to enjoy the area and potentially contribute to citizen science programs and 2. people who want to inform or make evidence-based management decisions (land managers, policy makers, researchers).

Published: April 2024

Hymenagaricus has small to medium-sized mushrooms and the cap surface with squamulose pellicles, consisting of hymeniform or pseudoparenchymatous cells and yellowish-brown basidiospores. The species of Hymenagaricus are very similar to those of Xanthagaricus and it is extremely difficult to differentiate the species of both genera in the field. However, phylogenetically, both the genera are clearly distinct. In this study, we describe two new species of Hymenagaricus, i.e. H. wadijarzeezicus and H. parvulus from the southern part of Oman. Species descriptions are based on a combination of morphological characteristics of basidiomata and phylogenetic analyses of three gene regions: internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS), the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA (28S) and translation elongation factor one alpha (EF-1α). Full descriptions, micrographs and illustration of anatomical features, basidiomata photos and phylogenetic analyses results of the new taxa are provided. Morphological comparisons of new taxa with similar species and a key to species included in the phylogenetic analyses are also provided.
Dettes et santé mentale : perspective de genre
Authors: Henchoz Caroline , Wernli Boris , Coste Tristan
Published: April 2024

L’effet des dettes sur la santé demeure peu étudié et la perspective de genre est rarement mobilisée. Cet article vise à mieux saisir l’effet genré des arriérés de paiement – un type de dettes particulièrement problématique et prévalent – sur la santé mentale des femmes et des hommes en testant différentes hypothèses explicatives. En nous appuyant sur les données du Panel suisse de ménages, nous montrons que les femmes endettées ont la santé mentale la plus faible mais que la survenue d’un arriéré ne les impacte pas davantage que les hommes. Toutefois, certains sous-groupes de femmes sont plus affectés. En ce sens, l’effet genré des dettes sur la santé mentale est plus lié à un cumul d’inégalités sociales qu’à l’existence de dispositions genrées vis-à-vis de l’endettement, ce qui souligne l’intérêt de l’approche intersectionnelle.
A Game Model Analysis of the International Digital Service Tax in an Asymmetric Market Duopoly
Authors: Sun Yixin , Liu Wenqi , Li Meng
Published: April 2024

Against the backdrop of the rapidly expanding digital economy, multinational corporations are increasingly exploiting information asymmetry in the market to employ covert and diverse methods of tax avoidance. This poses a significant challenge to tax collection and administration. The proposal of a digital service tax aims to adapt the international tax system to the digitalization of the economy, ensuring fair and reasonable tax payments. To address these challenges, this article assumes an asymmetric international digital economy market and a domestic market characterized by duopoly. It establishes an asymmetric market duopoly game, calculates the digital gains of each country's market using the logistic function, determines the Nash equilibrium of the data service tax game, and analyzes the relationship between the digital service tax rates of strong and weak countries in the digital economy.

The objective of the study is to analyze the various aspects of the reality. The methodology adopted is a conceptual analysis of the realities and the strategies and initiatives adopted by companies. The new service realities relate to increasing roles of technology, customer empowerment, customer co-production, and the need to satisfy both customers and employees. Enlightened companies adopt several strategies and initiatives to deal with the realities. Academicians should analyze the realities and suggest effective ways of dealing with the realities. Practicing managers focus on adopting strategies and initiatives which are effective in dealing with the new realities, developing effective customer relationships, and in achieving business excellence in the long run.
Computer Education Curriculum Innovation Based on Flipped Classroom and Network Education Model
Authors: Cheng Yue
Published: April 2024

This article conducts a series of research on computer network courses based on “flipped classroom.” Teaching reform will be carried out for computer networks, but the results are mediocre. The author of this article has carefully considered and summarized computer network teaching based on his years of teaching experience and has put forward suggestions for widespread application. This article discusses the application of translation. The necessity and connotation of transitioning to classroom mode were emphasized, and the design of this teaching method was emphasized, adopting a three-step approach of “consolidating and improving knowledge after class.” Therefore, teachers should start from their own perspective, based on process preview, in class learning, and after class review, find the connection point between flipped classroom and computer network courses, reflect on the problems in teaching, and adopt targeted teaching methods to solve problems. This article provides guidance for improving teachers' teaching level.
TLR Engagement Induces an Alternate Pathway for BCR Signaling that Results in PKCδ Phosphorylation
Authors: Khan Naeem , Hu Yongmei , Lowell Clifford A , Rothstein Thomas L
Published: April 2024

Recently, we reported that preexposure of B cells to IL-4 induced an alternate, signalosome-independent BCR signaling pathway leading to protein kinase C (PKC)δ phosphorylation (pTyr311), which occurs in the membrane compartment. This is considered to represent a form of receptor crosstalk and signal integration. Unlike the classical BCR signaling pathway, Lyn kinase is indispensable for BCR-induced downstream events in the alternate pathway. Our previous report that alternate BCR signaling leading to ERK phosphorylation is triggered by LPS and PAM3CSK4 (much like IL-4) raises the possibility that other signaling outcomes such as PKCδ phosphorylation might be similarly affected. To explore the range of mediators capable of producing an alternate pathway for BCR signaling, we examined PKCδ translocation and phosphorylation in LPS- and PAM3CSK4-treated B cells stimulated by anti-Ig. We found that LPS and PAM3CSK4 alter the signaling pathway used by the BCR to produce PKCδ phosphorylation. As with IL-4, elements of the signalosome are not needed for PKCδ phosphorylation when BCR triggering occurs after LPS and PAM3CSK4. However, with LPS and PAM3CSK4, anti-Ig–induced phosphorylation of PKCδ takes place in the cytosol, in contrast to the IL-4–induced alternate pathway, wherein PKCδ phosphorylation occurs in the membrane. Furthermore, the BCR signaling pathway induced by LPS and PAM3CSK4 differs from that induced by IL-4 by not requiring Lyn. Thus, an alternate, signalosome-independent BCR signaling pathway for PKCδ phosphorylation is induced by TLR agonists but differs in important ways from the alternate pathway induced by IL-4.
Antecedent description and depiction of the recently described cetacean behaviour of trap/tread-water feeding inferred from a nineteenth-century sighting of a ‘sea monster’ in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt
Authors: France Robert L.
Published: April 2024

In 2017 and 2018, two groups of biologists published papers in which they independently described what was referred to as a ‘novel’ or ‘new’ feeding behaviour for cetaceans. Called ‘trap’ or ‘tread-water’ feeding, the behaviour was of interest as it was the first time that passive or stationary in contrast to lunge, and vertical as opposed to horizontal position, feeding had been observed by whales. A subsequent historical ecology paper suggested that the recently described behaviour had in fact been previously observed and documented by illustrators and writers in Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Because yesterday’s ‘sea monsters’ are today’s megafauna, recounted sightings of the former can provide early insight into whale behaviour. One such example is an 19th century sighting of a ‘sea monster’ in the Gulf of Suez, whose description and illustration are nearly identical to modern scientific reporting of whales engaged in trap/tread-water feeding. Such concordance is further evidence in support of a historical precedence with respect to observing and documenting this behaviour.

Published: April 2024

Context

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patients commonly adopt poor movement patterns that potentially place them at an increased risk for reinjury if untreated. Limb loading characteristics during functional tasks can highlight movement compensations.

Objective

To examine loading symmetry during a bilateral bodyweight squatting task between sexes, compare loading metrics between limbs and sexes, and describe the relationship between loading metrics and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after ACLR.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants

One hundred forty-two patients (71 male, 71 female, age = 24.4 ± 11.10 years) with a primary, unilateral, uncomplicated ACLR completed a squatting assessment and PRO measures at approximately 5.2 months post-ACLR.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Normalized limb loading peak force (N/kg) and unilateral cumulative load (%) were collected bilaterally during the squatting task. Limb symmetry index (%) was calculated for normalized peak force. First, we compared limb loading symmetry (%) between sexes using an independent-samples t test. Second, we assessed differences in limb loading metrics between limbs and sexes via an analysis of covariance. Third, we used Spearman ρ correlations to determine the relationship between limb loading metrics and PROs.

Results

The majority of individuals (91 of 142, 64.1%) offloaded their ACLR limb (ACLR = 6.6 ± 1.56 N/kg, contralateral = 7.3 ± 1.61 N/kg, P < .001). Females significantly offloaded their ACLR limb (ACLR = 6.3 ± 1.38 N/kg, contralateral = 7.2 ± 1.62 N/kg, P < .001) whereas males did not significantly offload their ACLR limb (ACLR = 6.98 ± 1.65 N/kg, contralateral = 7.4 ± 1.60 N/kg, P = .07). Weak relationships were observed (Ρ value range: −.23 to .19) across limb loading metrics and PROs.

Conclusions

Individuals approximately 5 months after ACLR, on average, offloaded their ACLR limb compared with the contralateral limb. Patients’ tendency to offload their weight during a squat was influenced by sex. Relationships between limb loading metrics and PROs indicate patients who load their limbs disproportionately have a lower perception of their capability to complete activities of daily living and lower subjective knee function.
Testing of a modified Seistec seismic reflection profiler and its application to the marine geology of offshore eastern Oak Island, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada
Authors: Simpkin Peter G. , Fader Gordon B.J.
Published: April 2024

A modified, surface-towed, sub-bottom profiler, the boomer-based “Seistec” system, was deployed in an area offshore of eastern Oak Island, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, in May 2017. Several grids of lines were surveyed around eastern Oak Island. Subsequently, the sub-bottom profiler data were interpreted from a geological perspective after being processed, scaled, aligned and merged with a previously collected multibeam bathymetric data set. This exercise resulted in the first integration of multibeam bathymetry and high resolution sub-bottom profile data from offshore Oak Island and provides insight into the subsurface stratigraphy of the bedrock and glacial and postglacial sediments. The seabed is mostly composed of boulder-covered till drumlins and Holocene mud. Subsurface sediments include till and glaciomarine and lacustrine sediments, and a regional unconformity developed in response to postglacial transgression was revealed. Anthropogenic features include a shipwreck and unusual coast-normal seabed gravel ridges. Seabed natural features include sinkholes and pockmarks that are likely connected by channels in the bedrock to sinkhole features on adjacent land.

Published: April 2024

Taking the semi-active suspension system as the research object, the forward
model and inverse model of a continuous damping control (CDC) damper are
established based on the characteristic test of the CDC damper. A multi-mode
semi-active suspension controller is designed to meet the diverse requirements
of vehicle performance under different road conditions. The controller
parameters of each mode are determined using a genetic algorithm. In order to
achieve automatic switching of the controller modes under different road
conditions, a method is proposed to identify the road roughness based on the
sprung mass acceleration. The average of the ratio between the squared sprung
mass acceleration and the vehicle speed within a specific time window is taken
as the identification indicator for road roughness. Simulation results show that
the proposed road roughness identification method can accurately identify smooth
roads (Class A–B), slightly rough roads (Class C), and severely rough roads
(Class D–H). The designed multi-mode semi-active suspension controller
automatically adapts to the identified road roughness, resulting in improved
ride comfort on severely rough roads and improved handling performance on smooth
roads. Finally, a real vehicle test is performed. The test results show that the
proposed road roughness identification method can effectively distinguish
between a well-paved roads and rough roads. In addition, the ride comfort of the
vehicle is significantly improved in the comfort mode of the controller on rough
roads.

Published: April 2024

With the rapid growth of automobile ownership, traffic congestion has become a
major concern at intersections. In order to alleviate the blockage of
intersection traffic flow caused by signals, reduce the length of vehicle
congestion and waiting time, and for improving the intersection access
efficiency, therefore, this article proposes a vehicle speed guidance strategy
based on the intersection signal change by combining the vehicle–road
cooperative technology. The randomness of vehicle traveling speed in the road is
being considered. According to the vehicle traveling speed, a speed guidance
model is established under different conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of
the speed guidance strategy in this article is verified through experimental
simulation, and the benefits of the intersection with intelligent control and
traditional control are compared, and the experimental results show that the
intelligent control method in this article can effectively reduce vehicle
congestion and waiting time, and when the penetration rate of the speed-guided
intelligent connected vehicles reaches 100%, the length of traffic congestion of
the vehicles passing through the intersection is reduced by 65.5%, and the
average waiting time is decreased by 52.7%.

Published: April 2024

The study aimed to figure out the relationship between the big five factors of personality and the performance of quality work among faculty teaching staff members. The participants were 212 male and female teaching staff members specialized in humanities and scientific disciplines. The descriptive correlational method was adopted. There were two instruments: the big five-factor personality scale and a questionnaire for the teaching staff members’ performance of quality work. Findings revealed the participants’ lower possession of the factors of openness and extroversion than the other big factors of personality. In addition, there was a partial direct relationship between some of the big five factors of personality and the faculty teaching staff members’ performance of the quality tasks. Also, there were statistically significant differences in the big five factors of personality in favor of those with high-level performance of quality work except for the factor of openness to experience. Finally, there was a statistically significant difference in the neuroticism factor in favor of those holding position in the quality field whereas such difference was not verified in the other factors.

The behaviour of calves is a response to stimuli from the environment causing movement, actions and changes in body position, affecting the health and welfare of the animals. We distinguish four categories of physiological behaviour: – Behaviour related to basic needs such as movement, nutrition, rest and sleep. – Exploratory behaviour that enables getting to know the living environment. – Territorial behaviour and protection of safety and social order. – Sexual and parental behaviour for the protection of the genome and the extension of the species. The positive emotional state of animals is manifested through the freedom to express these forms of behaviour and social contact with other individuals, which reduces stress and fear. The goal of the care for animal welfare is to minimize exposure to negative emotions by optimizing these factors. The present study, carried out on two farms with an intensive system of housing and rearing calves up to 30 days of age, showed significant weaknesses and deficiencies in the way calves are kept immediately after birth, up to 7 days of age. Namely, of 9 forms of physiological behaviour, 5 rated 1 or 2. The situation was somewhat better in the age category of calves between 8 and 30 days, where only one form, reproductive behaviour, was absolutely impossible. In order to improve the quality of calf welfare, it is necessary to provide better rearing conditions that would enable the manifestation of basic physiological forms of behaviour.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of three protein levels (with or without protease enzymes) on the weight and percentage yield of each meat class in two genotypes of broiler chickens (fast-growing hybrid Cobb 500 and medium-growing hybrid Master Gris). Each genotype was divided into a control group (C group) fed with a commercial feed mixture and an experimental group fed with a low protein diet of 4% (E-I group) or 6% (E-II group) in relation to the control group, with the addition of 200 mg/kg Ronozyme ProAct (E-I group) or 300mg/kg Ronozyme ProAct (E-II group). Weight and percentage yield of the meat classes were influenced by the genotype. The fast-growing hybrid Cobb 500 had higher masses of all meat classes and a higher percentage of class I meat, while the percentage of class II and III meat was lower than in the medium-growing hybrid Master Gris (P<0.05). Feeding had no effect on the weight and percentage yield of the individual meat classes in either hybrid (P>0.05).

The empirical and semi-empirical models were used to analyze the phase-structural state of lightweight alloys of the Ti-Cr-Al-V system. The composition of lightweight alloy Ti61Cr10Al7V22 (at.%) was selected for experimental study. Ingots of this alloy were obtained by argon-arc melting method, and they were subjected to homogenization,
deformation by rolling and subsequent annealing at different temperatures. The influence of annealing temperature on the phase-structural state of the alloys, hardness, and mechanical properties during tensile tests at room temperature and 650 ºC has been studied experimentally. In cast condition and after deforming and annealing at
700…900 ºC the alloy has a single-phase state with bcc lattice. In the annealing state alloy has a high value of strength characteristics and the elongation to fracture.

Anthropometric analysis of wooden architectural heritage based on a historical system of measures
Authors:   Ural State University of Architecture and Art, Romanov Andrey S.
Published: April 2024

The paper examines the historical Russian system of measures and its significance for the study of monuments of Russian wooden architecture. The basis of the research is the work of Russian scientists on metrology in construction, as well as research in the field of anthropometry. Continuing the idea of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man,” this study formulates the hypothesis of a person’s “personal space” in Russian folk architecture. A conclusion is drawn about the modular structure of “spheres of comfort”, which are based on values associated with human growth. “Spheres of Comfort” are used to analyze the plan and facade structures of an archaic peasant building in the Sverdlovsk region. The arrangement of the spheres demonstrates a logical, “organic” composition of the modules. At the same time, numerical analysis of the plan and facade in vershok units is used. Analysis of numerical chains shows that the basis of a series of increasing quantities is the ratio of the diagonal of the square to its side (i.e. √2). The conclusion states the general and specific features of Russian house construction inherent in each specific building. The question is raised about the need for further statistical research and the compilation of regional tables based on anthropometry.

The authors define local zones, provide a typology of retail facilities within the city, and identify current trends in the formation of retail trade zones arising the course of historical development. A cartographic analysis of open-air retail trade spaces is carried out. An attempt is made to classify historical stages in the evolution of the city’s retail environment supported by a typological and cartographic analysis of the objects under study. It is claimed that problems associated with the location of shopping zones, caused not only by the city's planning structure but also by the conceptual treatment of retail facility forms, determine the current state of the built environment and require solutions using urban planning modeling of retail trade organization in the city.
Business center at 69 Dekabristov street: history first
Authors:   Ural State University of Architecture and Art, Lunegova Anastasia A.
Published: April 2024

Interaction between new projects and historical buildings is explored on the example of the business center at 69 Dekarbistov Street. The role of this business center in the structure of the historically significant area in Yekaterinburg is established through analysis of its spatial and urban compositions, and plastic and coloristic solutions. Opinions from practicing architects and architecture theorists have enabled general architectural and artistic approaches to the design of new architectural objects in historical contexts and criteria for their analysis to be formulated. A review of similar objects from Russian and international practice provided an evaluation scale with two opposite values: "full contrast" and "full nuance" of architectural solutions for a new facility in relation to the existing surrounding buildings. In conclusion, the importance of the business center is revealed as an object that harmoniously interacts with the historical environment and forms a corner of the city block.

Published: April 2024

This article explores advanced digital methods for comprehensive renovation of industrial buildings into public spaces. Four different approaches are described in detail: 1. Digital mapping and modeling: allows accurate spatial analysis to be performed for optimizing design solutions before physical renovation; combines virtual and augmented reality to create an immersive experience. 2. Integration of augmented and virtual reality: facilitates joint decision-making by visualizing proposed projects and thus increasing public engagement. Historical and cultural narratives are overlapped, strengthening the connection between the past and the present. 3. Smart building systems: include IoT devices and sensors to optimize energy efficiency, comfort, and overall functionality; solve unique challenges related to the conversion of industrial buildings. 4. Digital twin technology: creates a dynamic virtual copy for continuous real-time monitoring; uses machine learning for predictive analysis, increasing operational efficiency and sustainability. The convergence of technologies and architectural innovations presents a transformative force in the context of architectural and environmental renovation of industrial buildings, representing a change of the paradigm in the renovation of industrial facilities for re-use as a public function.
