Published: November 2022

The increasing global energy demand has led to other alternative ways of harvesting energy from renewable resources. This energy cause less environmental pollution and deterioration of humans' health. Thermosyphon Rankine engine (TSR) is a concept used for direct electrical power generation from low-grade heat sources. In this project, an extended investigation on previous experimental done was conducted through a simulation approach using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis to simulate a two-phase flow, phase change occurred during evaporation and condensation processes inside the thermosyphon under different power inputs of 245 W, 552 W, and 984 W. Also the water was used as a working fluid. The volume of fluid (VOF) technique was used to model the phase change using ANSYS FLUENT software. The simulation investigated temperature profile, water volume fraction, and velocity. Then, CFD predicted temperature profile was compared with the previous experimental data, and percentage error was calculated. Compared to the experimental one, CFD predicted temperature profile was higher than the experimental one due to mechanical losses during experimentation. Meanwhile, the model managed to simulate vapor bubbles and nucleate boiling during phase change. It showed that the VOF model with the in-built evaporation-condensation model developed by Lee only simulated nucleate boiling at the interphase between water and vapor phase during evaporation and condensation processes.

Excessive operating temperature of Photovoltaic (PV) panel by high levels of solar irradiation would affect its conversion efficiency, Hence One way of improving the efficiency of photovoltaic system is to maintain a low operating temperature by introducing a passive cooling system. Subsequently, this study investigating the effect on surface temperature reduction and voltage output of PV panel, by introducing the combination of heat pipe and fin as a cooling device. Each set of the cooling devices consisted of two copper heat pipes and two units of heat sinks. Two sets of the cooling devices were installed at the back of the PV panel, and experimental work had been performed at fixed 0 ° horizontally. The experiment was conducted at a constant time under Malaysia’s climate at constant ambient temperature ranging from 33 °C to 34 °C. The temperature of the panel and open-circuit voltage (VOC) was recorded before and after the installation of the cooling system by using Arduino data logger. Four thermocouples for different places and a voltage sensor were installed into the system to enable recording the data of voltage and temperature simultaneously. The results showed 4 o C or 6.6 % surface temperature reduction and 0.29 V or 2.8 % voltage gained respectively when the proposed cooling devices were installed to the PV panel.

Over the last two decades, a lack of mathematical communication (MC) skills has hampered elementary students' ability to comprehend mathematical content and solve mathematical problems. However, there are only a few articles that review the research patterns in MC among students in the early grades. Therefore, this paper offers a thorough and systematic overview of the research trend since 2020. This overview is useful for researchers because it provides a synthesis of available evidence and indicates in which directions further research should be directed. The first step is to search the Scopus database for documents in format. csv produces 34 articles. Five research themes emerged from the two-step analysis: publication trends, most cited papers, most published journals, top contributing countries, and methodological approaches. Because the subject is so important, it's essential to encourage collaborations between institutions that study MC and use the methods shown or more advanced ones across math content and student grade level.
The Effect of Carbon Infiltration Through CVI Techniques on The Physical Properties of ZTA

Published: November 2022

The preference for a ceramic matrix composite, in many applications, is due to its allowance for alterations, with regards to the filler or reinforcement used. Among the well-known ceramic matrix composites, is the carbon nanotube reinforced ceramic matrix composite. This ceramic composite, which possesses excellent properties, is used exclusively for high-end applications. However, other than the fact that this composite is prone to damage, in a high temperature environment during the sintering process, its use also comes at a high cost. Among the solutions to these drawbacks, is the introduction of carbon into the ceramic composite, through the chemical vapour infiltration (CVI) process. Initially, pyrolysis of biomass is applied on the empty fruit bunch (EFB), for the generation of tar vapour. Pyrolytic carbon is then produced through secondary reaction, during contact with the ceramic surface. The findings, derived from previous studies, indicate that the physical properties of ZTA improve with the infiltration of carbon, until optimum holding time is arrived at. The optimum holding time, of 2.5 hours for the CVI process, is due to the lowest surface area (3.605 m2/g) and the highest density (3.787 g/cm3). This can be attributed to the reduction in porosity, as the holding time increased. Thus, it can be concluded that carbon infiltration will significantly reduce the porosity, and improve the ceramic properties, of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA).
Engine Performance and Exhaust Emission Effect of Increasing Euro5 Diesel Fuel Blended with 7% to 30% Palm Biodiesel
Authors: Anwar Syahmi  , Mas Fawzi  , Shahrul Azmir Osman  , Harrison Lau
Published: November 2022

Biodiesel blend fuels have gained popularity over the year due to their ability to be used in conventional diesel engines without any modifications and have proven to be a cleaner fuel. The Malaysian National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2020 projects the usage of biodiesel blend B30 (30%) to be implemented by the year 2025 or earlier. Most manufacturers approve its usage but do not suggest using a higher blend than 20%. This paper focuses on the difference in engine performance and exhaust emissions between 7 % and 30% Euro 5 diesel-biodiesel blend. The fuels used are Euro 5 diesel fuel blend with 7% (B7) and 30% (B30) palm biodiesel. The fuel is tested on a Toyota Hilux model KUN 25 with a 2KD-FTV engine. Chassis dynamometer tests were conducted on a steady-state condition for speeds 30, 60, 90, and 110 km/h with accelerator pedal positions (APP) of 45% and 90% measuring its brake power, BSFC, and exhaust emissions of CO2, CO, and NOx. It was found that B30 produced slightly lower brake power than B7 and slightly higher BSFC than B7. Both CO2 and CO emissions for B30 are lower than B7, with a more significant difference at speed 30 km/h at all APP conditions. NOx emission for B30 is higher at speed 30 km/h but slightly lower at speed 60, 90, and 110 km/h than B7. Therefore, increasing Euro 5 biodiesel blend from 7% to 30% slightly lowers brake power, increases BSFC, lowers CO2 and CO emissions, and increases NOx emissions.

Published: November 2022

Alternative replacement for land aggregate is very important for island and coastal region where land aggregate resources is scarce, expensive and even unavailable for construction industries. For country that have limited sources of land aggregate, offshore sand is a potential choice of replacement for their construction industries. This research studied the production and usage of synthetic lightweight coarse aggregate produced using offshore sand (SYLCAG). SYLCAG was produced to replace coarse aggregate that normally use igneous rock for concrete production. It was produced with density of 1300 kg/m3 which is nearly 60% lighter than normal aggregate. This SYLCAG was used as a full replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete which then produced as a concrete with density almost 1900 kg/m3. The produced concrete did not have achieve the design strength of 25 MPa concrete using the standard concrete design. However, it still has the potential to be develop with higher design and later used as structural concrete.
Eschatological Christology in African Christianity: A Reflection on Relevance and Implication
Authors: Agboada Edward
Published: November 2022

Eschatological Christology in African Christianity is an attempt to appreciate the concept of eschatology (beliefs about death, judgement and the final destiny of individual souls and humankind) in African Christianity and decipher its significance and/or implication. The objective is to understand the complexities of sociocultural and religious factors that inform the definitions and meaning of the concepts in the theological reflection of African Christianity. Eschatological Christology in African Christianity is therefore concerned with how African Christianity in its unique religious context understands and interprets biblical prophecies about the “End Times” and the assertion of Jesus’s distinctive “status”, about his relationship with the Father, divinity and humanity. It is therefore reflective of the repositories of religious and theological reflections from Africa’s rich cultural and religious cosmology as well as already existing and available Western Christian theological Christopraxis.

Rotation Curve Decompositions with Gaussian Processes: Taking into Account Data Correlations Leads to Unbiased Results
Authors: Posti Lorenzo
Published: November 2022

Correlations between velocity measurements in disk galaxy rotation curves are usually neglected when fitting dynamical models. Here I show how data correlations can be taken into account in rotation curve decompositions using Gaussian Processes. I find that marginalizing over correlation parameters proves critical to obtain unbiased estimates of the luminous and dark matter distributions in galaxies.
Housing and Food Insecurity, Health Literacy, and Maladaptive Coping Behaviors
Authors: Joseph Patrece L. , Applewhite Janelle , Fleary Sasha A.
Published: November 2022

Background:

Stressors related to social determinants of health (SDH), such as housing and food insecurity, are implicated in chronic disease risk. Maladaptive strategies for coping with these stressors may exacerbate risk.

Objective:

Given the limited research on SDH-related stressors and maladaptive coping, this study examined the relationship between two SDH-related stressors (housing and food insecurity) and maladaptive coping behaviors (i.e., emotional eating and stress-related cigarette and alcohol use) in adults. Further, because health literacy (HL), another SDH, may be a protective factor, this study explored whether HL moderated these relationships.

Methods:

Data were collected from adults (
N
= 500, Mean age = 49.01 years, standard deviation = 16.36; 40% White) in the United States. A series of hierarchical logistic regressions predicting maladaptive coping behaviors from demographics, SDH-related stressors (i.e., housing or food insecurity), and HL variables were estimated.

Key Results:

Housing insecurity was associated with increased odds of emotional eating (odds ratio [OR] = 1.48,
p
< .001), stress-related cigarette use (
OR
= 1.34,
p
= .001), and stress-related alcohol use (
OR
= 1.32,
p
= .001). Food insecurity was associated with increased odds of emotional eating (
OR
= 1.49,
p
= .012), stress-related cigarette (
OR
= 1.68,
p
= .002), and stress-related alcohol use (
OR
= 1.49,
p
= .013). Higher functional HL scores were associated with decreased odds of emotional eating after accounting for housing (
OR
= 0.79,
p
= .017) and food insecurity (
OR
= 0.76,
p
= .004). Communicative and critical HL moderated the relationship between food insecurity and emotional eating.

Conclusions:

Examining HL in relation to SDH-related stressors and maladaptive coping behaviors is complex. HL may be less protective for maladaptive coping behaviors that are likely addictive. Because HL domains may require cooperation between individuals and systems related to stressors, multi-systemic interventions are necessary to reduce maladaptive coping behaviors. [

Plain language summary:

Stress related to inadequate resources for housing and food may be related to adults' poor coping behaviors (e.g., emotional eating and stress-related cigarette and alcohol use). Adults who experienced housing and food insecurity were more likely to report emotional eating and using cigarettes and alcohol when stressed. Adults with higher functional health literacy were less likely to report emotional eating.
Investigation of water desalination/purification with molecular dynamics and machine learning techniques
Authors: Stavrogiannis Christos , Sofos Filippos , Karakasidis Theodoros. E. , Vavougios Denis
Published: November 2022

This paper incorporates a number of parameters, such as nanopore size, wall wettability, and electric field strength, to assess their effect on ion removal from nanochannels filled with water. Molecular dynamics simulations are incorporated to monitor the process and a numerical database is created with the results. We show that the movement of ions in water nanochannels under the effect of an electric field is multifactorial. Potential energy regions of various strength are formed inside the nanochannel, and ions are either drifted to the walls and rejected from the solution or form clusters that are trapped inside low potential energy regions. Further computational investigation is made with the incorporation of machine learning techniques that suggest an alternative path to predict the water/ion solution properties. Our test procedure here involves the calculation of diffusion coefficient values and the incorporation of four ML algorithms, for comparison reasons, which exploit MD calculated results and are trained to predict the diffusion coefficient values in cases where no simulation data exist. This two-fold computational approach constitutes a fast and accurate solution that could be adjusted to similar ion separation models for property extraction.
RETRACTED ARTICLE: A video images-aware knowledge extraction method for intelligent healthcare management of basketball players
Authors: Liang Xiaojun
Published: November 2022

Currently, the health management for athletes has been a significant research issue in academia. Some data-driven methods have emerged in recent years for this purpose. However, numerical data cannot reflect comprehensive process status in many scenes, especially in some highly dynamic sports like basketball. To deal with such a challenge, this paper proposes a video images-aware knowledge extraction model for intelligent healthcare management of basketball players. Raw video image samples from basketball videos are first acquired for this study. They are processed using adaptive median filter to reduce noise and discrete wavelet transform to boost contrast. The preprocessed video images are separated into multiple subgroups by using a U-Net-based convolutional neural network, and basketball players' motion trajectories may be derived from segmented images. On this basis, the fuzzy KC-means clustering technique is adopted to cluster all segmented action images into several different classes, in which images inside a classes are similar and images belonging to different classes are different. The simulation results show that shooting routes of basketball players can be properly captured and characterized close to 100% accuracy using the proposed method.
DCCL: Dual-channel hybrid neural network combined with self-attention for text classification
Authors: Li Chaofan , Liu Qiong , Ma Kai
Published: November 2022

Text classification is a fundamental task in natural language processing. The Chinese text classification task suffers from sparse text features, ambiguity in word segmentation, and poor performance of classification models. A text classification model is proposed based on the self-attention mechanism combined with CNN and LSTM. The proposed model uses word vectors as input to a dual-channel neural network structure, using multiple CNNs to extract the N-Gram information of different word windows and enrich the local feature representation through the concatenation operation, the BiLSTM is used to extract the semantic association information of the context to obtain the high-level feature representation at the sentence level. The output of BiLSTM is feature weighted with self-attention to reduce the influence of noisy features. The outputs of the dual channels are concatenated and fed into the softmax layer for classification. The results of the multiple comparison experiments showed that the DCCL model obtained 90.07% and 96.26% F1-score on the Sougou and THUNews datasets, respectively. Compared to the baseline model, the improvement was 3.24% and 2.19%, respectively. The proposed DCCL model can alleviate the problem of CNN losing word order information and the gradient of BiLSTM when processing text sequences, effectively integrate local and global text features, and highlight key information. The classification performance of the DCCL model is excellent and suitable for text classification tasks.
Introduction - Les mathématiques professionnelles (xvie-xixe siècle)
Authors: Morel Thomas , Preveraud Thomas
Published: November 2022

Les contributions ici rassemblées sont consacrées à la mise en pratique de savoirs mathématiques du xvie au xixe siècle dans divers milieux professionnels. Elles soulignent toutes que les praticiens sont confrontés à des nouveaux besoins qui demandent un appareillage mathématique, et que, pour comprendre l’usage précis qu'ils en ont, il est crucial de s’immerger en détail dans chaque cadre social et économique. La circulation de ces savoirs implique presque partout des processus d’appropriation au sein des métiers considérés et fortement dépendants des contextes d'usage. En transformant, ajustant ou normalisant le geste du praticien, les mathématiques permettent alors l’accès à une forme de légitimation sociale qu’offrent, selon les cas, prestige ou rejet de la science théorique.
Les pratiques mathématiques dans l’évolution de la topographie militaire française, 1744-1791
Authors: Binois Grégoire , Pansini Valeria
Published: November 2022

Dès les années 1740, les nouvelles exigences de la cartographie et de la guerre demandent aux ingénieurs militaires de meilleures compétences en mathématiques théoriques. Les différentes visions des pratiques mathématiques deviennent centrales dans le conflit entre les deux corps institutionnalisés de cartographes militaires. Les ingénieurs du Génie, bénéficiant d’une formation plus structurée, sont en position dominante ; les ingénieurs Géographes comblent l’écart de préparation dès les années 1760, mais restent partisans d’une vision plus traditionnelle du cartographe militaire. En réalité, les pratiques mathématiques, diverses, appliquées aux travaux de terrain ou de cabinet, sont largement communes à ces deux groupes, qui surjouent leurs différences pour servir leurs objectifs dans le conflit.
Co-écrire le journalisme sur TikTok : légitimité médiatique et communautés ludo-journalistiques
Authors: Bolz Lisa
Published: November 2022

à mi-chemin entre les pratiques traditionnelles et les codes de TikTok, les médias proposent une offre journalistique qui s’adresse en particulier à la « génération Z ». Des vidéos courtes, souvent ludiques, constituent un nouveau discours journalistique liant l’information à la culture TikTok. Avec l’émergence du journalisme sur TikTok, les médias négocient et justifient leur autorité sur ce réseau social numérique et expliquer leur fonctionnement. Le journalisme sur TikTok est ainsi un discours éducatif sur les médias qui montre les rouages du métier. Les médias publient des vidéos selon une ligne éditoriale adaptée à TikTok, en s’inscrivant dans des tendances virales, en proposant des contenus qui concernent la vie des jeunes internautes, ou en racontant l‘information sous un angle humoristique. Par différents modes d’interaction, les médias parviennent à inclure les internautes dans la fabrication de l’information et à rendre visible une communauté médiatique.
Kerk en teologie op pad na die derde millennium: 'n Paradigmatiese verskuiwing van middelmatige aard
Authors: Van Aarde Andries G.
Published: November 2022

Church and theology on a mesoparadigmatic shift towards the third millennium This article is written from the assumption that the present-day shift from modernity to postmodernity, which influences both church and theology, might be described as mesoparadigmatic in nature. From a specific angle, postmodern theology is considered a contextualization of dialectical thinking and it should, therefore, not be understood as an absolute alternative to the previous paradigm, including reformational theology which anticipated the modem era in a particular sense. The aim of the article is at focusing on postmodernity's selective departure from modernity by means of debating the opinions which have been held by the author and been responded to by others. The article is concluded with an illumination of the road the author is convinced ought to be taken by the church and in theology heading towards the third millennium, specifically against the background of the changing South African context.
Het Suid-Afrika 'n gemeenskaplike morele taal nodig?
Authors: Smit D. J.
Published: November 2022

Does South Africa need a common moral language? Many people are of the opinion that South Africa finds itself 'after Babel’ and needs a common moral language (1). The author considers some of the arguments of people who disagree with this analysis, because they do not define the problem in this way (2); because they find the language- or Babel-methaphor confusing (3); because they agree with the description of the problem, but not with the suggested solution, namely a common moral language (4); or because they accept the solution, but do not regard it as the proper task of the Christian church to be involved in this search for a common moral language (5).

Published: November 2022

There has been increasing interest in the application of artificial intelligence technologies to improve the quality of support services in healthcare. Some constraints, such as space, infrastructure, and environmental conditions, present challenges with assistive devices for humans. This paper proposed a wearable-based real-time human activity recognition system to monitor daily activities. The classification was done directly on the device, and the results could be checked over the internet. The accelerometer data collection application was developed on the device with a sampling frequency of 20Hz, and the random forest algorithm was embedded in the hardware. To improve the accuracy of the recognition system, a feature vector of 31 dimensions was calculated and used as an input per time window. Besides, the dynamic window method applied by the proposed model allowed us to change the data sampling time (1-3 seconds) and increase the performance of activity classification. The experiment results showed that the proposed system could classify 13 activities with a high accuracy of 99.4%. The rate of correctly classified activities was 96.1%. This work is promising for healthcare because of the convenience and simplicity of wearables.

Maternal pre-pregnancy anemia and childhood anemia in Indonesia: a risk assessment using a population-based prospective longitudinal study
Authors: Wirawan Fadila , Nurrika Dieta
Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVES: Anemia in children under 5 years of age is often overlooked despite its detrimental effects. The public health approach to anemia prevention includes the maternal pre-pregnancy phase. This study investigated the association between pre-pregnancy anemia and the risk of anemia in children under 5 years of age.METHODS: This cohort study included non-pregnant women from the 2007 Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and their children under 5 in the 2014 IFLS. The anemia status of mothers and children was determined based on hemoglobin (Hb) levels using Hemocue. Mantel-Haenszel adjusted relative risks (aRRs), including risk stratification by covariates, were used for the final risk assessment.RESULTS: In total, 637 children in the 2014 IFLS were included. The risk of having a child with anemia was 1.71-fold higher in women with pre-pregnancy anemia than in women without pre-pregnancy anemia (aRR, 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03 to 2.85). After risk stratification based on potential confounding variables, maternal pre-pregnancy anemia remained an independent risk factor for anemia in children who still breastfed at the time of data collection (relative risk [RR], 2.11; 95% CI, 1.16 to 3.86), in children who were given water earlier than 6 months of age (RR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.20 to 3.61), in children of mothers with a normal or underweight pre-pregnancy body mass index (RR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.20 to 3.14), and in children of mothers without current anemia (RR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.21 to 3.99).CONCLUSIONS: Pre-pregnancy anemia increased the risk of childhood anemia. A public health approach emphasizing pre-conception maternal health would enable better maternal and child morbidity risk prevention.

Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVES: To assess social inequalities in changes in dietary behaviors among adolescents during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we compared changes in dietary behavior indicators by household income.METHODS: Using cross-sectional data from the 2019 and 2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the prevalence of dietary behaviors in adolescents (12-18 years old) was estimated and changes in dietary behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic were evaluated. We assessed changes in dietary behaviors with a household income (as a measure of socioeconomic status, SES) disparity.RESULTS: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the average consumption of vegetables decreased and food insecurity worsened. Adolescents were more likely to skip breakfast than before COVID-19 (33.1 and 37.4%). Soft drink consumption also increased in 2020 from 2019 (7.6 and 14.8%), especially among boys. Average sugar intake and sodium intake showed a tendency to decrease only in girls, but there was no significant difference according to SES level. Skipping breakfast was particularly evident in the low-SES group, and the difference according to household income level (high vs. low) was greater during COVID-19 than before. The prevalence of soft drink consumption increased significantly in the low-SES group, but the rate of increase did not differ by SES level.CONCLUSIONS: We found that the social disparity in skipping breakfast was further aggravated during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reach a better understanding of the dietary behaviors of adolescents, continuous monitoring is necessary.

Natural Order and Mathematical Imagination. The Use of Quoting Sapientia 11–21 in Oresme’s Works
Authors: Zanin Fabio
Published: November 2022

Nicole Oresme quotes four times the passage from The Book of Wisdom (Wisdom of Solomon) or, in the Vulgate, Sapientia 11–21 (omnia in mensura et numero et pondere disposuisti), in several works covering his whole career. It goes to show the importance he gives to that passage: the order of nature arranged by God limits natural potencies within boundaries from which harmony follows, and at the same time it marks for man the path to perfection. But the human mind can know the natural order only to a certain degree of probability, as it results from De commensurabilitate. After all, it makes it possible to glimpse a more varied and complex order that one can imagine. Thus harmony results from a wise mixture of rationality and irrationality. From the point of view of his use of the passage of Sapientia 11–21, the skeptical Oresme appears as a scholar in search for a new synthesis, beyond that of mediaeval philosophy.

A unique clinical case of a combination of malformations of the anterior abdominal wall (omphalocele of large size) and malformation of the lymphatic system (congenital chyloperitoneum) is presented. Each of these defects can lead to a fatal outcome, and the combination of them has greatly increased the risk of developing an unfavourable outcome. The use of immunosuppressive therapy with Sirolimus used for the first time during the newborn period made it possible to completely stop the chyloperitoneum. This clinical example shows that in the treatment of surgical patients with multiple congenital malformations, a multidisciplinary approach and observation is necessary for timely response to the patient’s condition.

Aim is to develop a comprehensive program of restorative treatment of posture disorders in children against the background of connective tissue dysplasia. Materials and methods. Ninety children aged from 4 to 17 years were under observation. Of these, 60 patients with connective tissue dysplasia (CTD) were divided into an experimental group (30 children) and a comparison group (30 children). These CTD children were under medical supervision from 2010 to 2020. The reference group consisted of 30 conditionally healthy children of the same age. All children were comprehensively examined. All СTD patients during the entire period of dispensary observation underwent comprehensive restorative treatment using methods of physical therapy, swimming and teaching patients at the educational school “Posture Correction” for children. The data obtained were processed statistically. Results. Characteristic signs of hereditary disorders of connective tissue development were revealed in all CTD children. An increase in the concentration of oxyproline in the blood serum and an increase in urinary excretion of oxyproline and calcium were found. After 5 years from the start of rehabilitation measures, there was an increase in endurance of the back muscles, a minimum number of pathological manifestations, including arthritis, arthralgic syndromes, coccygodynia. Ten years later, at the age of 14 years, the children of the experimental group formed a good posture, a well-off muscular corset and a minimal number of complications. Patients of the comparison group during the observation process more often complained of a feeling of fatigue, prolonged, incurable pain in the thoracic and lumbar spine, weak muscle corset. Conclusion. If CTD signs are detected in children, long-term dispensary observation should be carried out in outpatient conditions with the inclusion of a set of exercises of physical therapy and other rehabilitation measures. With the initial CTD manifestations on the part of the spine, children should be recommended to use a back support or a semi-rigid corset for the duration of increased loads, lessons, and long training sessions.
Silver and the Silver Economy at Hedeby: Raw Materials, Innovation, Technology of Ancient Cultures - RITaK 2
Authors: Merkel Stephen William
Published: November 2022

The trade of silver in Viking Age Scandinavia is intertwined with the development and collapse of long distance trade routes stretching as far as the North Atlantic in the West to Central Asia in the East. Hedeby, a Viking emporium, was an important gateway of trade between the Baltic and North Seas, and this makes it is an ideal place to explore the evolution of the silver supply in the 10th and 11th centuries A.D. The elemental and lead isotope compositions of locally minted Hedeby coins were compared to jewelry objects, hacksilver and imported silver coins, and four chronologically related shifts could be identified that reflect changes in the origin and type of raw materials used. This study features the use of laser ablation mass spectrometry of ca. 200 silver objects, and these analyses are placed in a broader context of early medieval silver metallurgy, mining archaeology and numismatics to interpret the compositional shifts as shifts in trade. Additionally, studies on crucibles and lead-based finds from Hedeby were carried out as well as the analysis of ore and slag from Central Asia to explore recycling and silver production technologies during the Viking period.

A numerical descriptor is a mathematical instrument that uses information about the chemical compound's structure to examine and explore a molecule's physicochemical attributes without the need for expensive and time-consuming laboratory tests. It is a true number that contains or provides a great deal of useful information about a chemical substance. Topological indices come in a variety of forms, including degree-based, neighbourhood degree-based, distance-based, and eigen value-based indices. Utilizing indices that correlate with biological activities and other aspects of the respective chemical compounds, property and activity-based models are applied. Numerous topological indices have been constructed taking into account each atom's level of hybridization inside the molecule. We concentrate on some distance-based topological indices of various alkane structures in this work. The proposed topological indices and the QSPR investigation for alkane are also established.

Authors: Tsai Hong-Wen , Che Hui-Chung
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The industry difference on patent drawings of invention publications and utility model grants over top nine non-manufacturing industry sectors in China stock market was discussed via analysis of variation (ANOVA). Regarding patent drawing count’s capability for differentiating Chinese listed company’s stock rate of return, the invention publication and the utility model grant were different. The invention publication’s drawing count showed well capability for one industry sector, fair capability for two industry sectors, partial capability for one industry sector, weak capability for two industry sectors, and ineffective capability for three industry sectors; whereas the utility model grant’s drawing count showed partial capability for four industry sectors, weak capability for three industry sectors, and ineffective capability for two industry sectors. The patent drawing count of invention publications showed superior capability to those of utility model grants and invention grants. The higher patent counts of invention publications showed fairly connection with the capability, however, the higher patent counts of utility model grants showed weak connection with the capability. The higher stock rates of return also showed weak connection with the capability for either invention publications or utility model grants. Every non-manufacturing industry sector had its particularity. The industry difference among top nine non-manufacturing industry sectors in China stock market was distinct.
