Senses together : Multimodal literacy learning in primary education : Final project report
Authors: Mills, Kathy , Heck Elizabeth , Brown Alinta , Funnell Patricia , Friend Lesley
Published: November 2023

Literacy studies have traditionally focussed on the seen. The other senses are typically under-recognised in literacy studies and research, where the visual sense has been previously prioritised. However, spoken and written language, images, gestures, touch, movement, and sound are part of everyday literacy practices. Communication is no longer focussed on visual texts but is a multisensory experience. Effective communication depends then on sensory orchestration, which unifies the body and its senses. Understanding sensory orchestration is crucial to literacy learning in the 21st century where the combination of multisensory practices is both digital and multimodal. Unfortunately, while multimodal literacy has become an increasing focus in school curriculum, research has still largely remained focussed on the visual. The Sensory Orchestration for Multimodal Literacy Learning in Primary Education project, led by ARC Future Fellow Professor Kathy Mills, sought to address this research deficit. In addressing this gap, the project built an evidence base for understanding how students become critical users of sensory techniques to communicate through digital, virtual, and augmented-reality texts. The project has contributed to the development of new multimodal literacy programs and a next-generation approach to multimodality through the utilisation of innovative sensorial education programs in various educational environments including primary schools, digital labs, and art museums.

Authors: Widelska Ewelina , Walczak Wojciech
Published: November 2023

The historic municipal park located in Zduńska Wola is covered in the central and northern part by conservator protection through an entry in the register of monuments and on the basis of an entry in the local spatial development plan. In terms of nature, the area has significant values due to old trees and the water system, which consists of two ponds fed by the Pichna River. As part of the preparatory work for the revalorization of the park, several studies and analyses were carried out, including assessment of the sanitary state of waters of Pichna River that supplies reservoirs. Degree of the river pollution made it impossible to restore the water system, the most important element of the park, while further supplying the ponds with river water. In order to ensure a satisfactory degree of purity and transparency of water in ponds, a decision was made to apply complex and modern technological solutions enabling the renovation of the water system. Project documentation was developed in 2015. After two years, they began to implement the project. Banks of both ponds were formed more gently, and the basins were deepened. Selection of vegetation around the reservoir and in the reservoir itself was based on the principle of biocenotic assumptions. The designed system is equipped with a circulation pump, skimmers, bottom drains, mechanical-mineral filter, swamp filter. This was to ensure adequate purification of water in ponds, based on natural processes, stimulated by the use of new, pro-ecological technologies.

Published: November 2023

There are several springs with the large discharge around the Watuputih Karst Hills area that playing a crucial role in supplying water for both domestic and irrigation needs. The springs are located in the fault and fold zones of the Rembang anticlinorium system. This study was designed to determine the characteristics of karst aquifers from one year of monthly spatio-temporal data on discharge parameters and physico-chemical properties (temperature, pH, EC, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3–) of the four major springs, namely Brubulan Tahunan, Sumbersemen, Brubulan Pesucen, and Sendang Sayuran. It used sta-tistical calculations to characterize spring discharge and hydrochemical variations, as well as bivariate correlation analysis and flow-duration curve (FDC). The variability index (Iv), variability (V), and spring coefficient of variation parameters (SCVP) classified Brubulan Tahunan and Sumbersemen as springs producing stable, fairly constant discharge with low variations but characterized Brubulan Pesucen as having unstable, varying discharge with moderate variations. The results showed gently sloping hydrograph, low variations in discharge and hydrochemical properties, a relatively prolonged re-sponse of discharge and CO2-H2O-CaCO3 interaction to rainfall, and slope changes in the FDC. In other terms, although the springs are controlled by faults and folds, they have diffuse groundwater storage system in the form of densely fractured and porous media. These findings also indicate a less developed interconnected conduit, although Brubulan Pesucen is relatively more developed than Sumbersemen and Brubulan Tahunan. The geological structure and hydraulic gradient formed between the groundwater recharge and discharge areas are proven to control the amount of spring discharge actively.

Published: November 2023

This paper investigated the problems and impacts of transient flow in pipeline systems due to pump power failure. The impact of different protection devices was presented to assure surge protection for the pipeline system. A model via Bent-ley HAMMER V8.0 Edition was employed to analyse and simulate hydraulic transients in the pipeline system, and protec-tion alternatives were studied. Surge protection included using only an air vessel, using an air vessel and two surge tanks, and employing five air ves-sels and vacuum breaker. The obtained results for pressures, heads, and cavitation along the pipeline system were graph-ically presented for various operating conditions. Using five air vessels with vacuum breaker valve as surge protection proved to be more effective and economical against pump power failure. Changing the flow density did not have a significant impact on the pressures. For protection with an air vessel; it was concluded that the value 40% of the original diameter for inlet pipe diameter of air vessel, and the value of 2/3 of original pipe diameter were critical values for the transient pressures. Cast iron pipes proved to be the best pipe material for all studied volumes of the air vessel. For protection with an air vessel and two surge tanks; as the inlet pipe diameters increased the maximum pressures in-creased and the minimum pressures decreased. Regression analyses were performed obtaining equations to predict the pressures according to the inlet pipe diameter, the area of surge tank, and the pipe diameter.

Published: November 2023

Any type of material that increases soil yield, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to strengthen the soil and increase its fertility is called fertilizer. The current study examines the production of a new effective fertilizer. Results presented involve effects of new bioorganic-mineral compositions obtained from the combination of vermicompost and sulphur-containing waste from sulphuric acid production on the yield and quality of tubers (beets, carrots). An increase in the yield of tubers has been found to be 1.13–1.25 times when the bioorganic-mineral composition (~20 Mg∙ha–1) is introduced into the sierozem (serozem) soil. The best results are obtained with mass ratios in the range 30–45 and 55–70 for vermicompost and sulphur-perlite-containing waste, respectively. The effectiveness of the mixture of vermicompost and sulphur-containing waste is explained by the increased synergistic interaction of these components. The proposed composition has high structure-form-ing, water-retaining, nutritional and biologically active properties.

Published: November 2023

Warna and Pengilon Lakes are very close to each other and connected with the sill, a famous tourist destination in the Dieng Plateau Java. Land-use changes are the main problem that affected the lakes. The conversion of forest into an agricultural area had induced erosion and increased the volume of nutrients discharged to the lake due to high use of fertilisers in potatoes farms. In the dry seasons, water from those lakes was pumped to irrigate agricultural land. This study aimed to determine the water quality of Warna and Pengilon Lakes based on physical, chemical parameters, and phytoplankton communities. Water samples were collected from 4 sites at each lake to analyse biological oxygen demand ( BOD), chemical oxygen demand ( COD), ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and total nitrogen ( TN). Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen ( DO), turbidity, and conductivity ( EC) were measured in-situ. During this research, turbidity and BOD in Warna and Pengilon Lakes exceeded the Indonesian water quality standard. Based on the STORET method, the water quality of Lake Warna was assessed as highly polluted for all classes. However, based on the pollution index (PI), Lake Warna was slightly to moderately polluted, as well as the saprobic index was in the β-mesosaprobic phase. Based on the species diversity index of phytoplankton, both Warna and Pengilon Lakes were moderately polluted. The long-term monitoring studies are necessary as an early warning sign of water quality degradation. Therefore, they provide insight into the overall ecological condition of the lake and can be used as a basis for developing suitable lake management.
Study of discharge and jump of water flow from water regulatory structures in channels
Authors: Kassymbekov Zhuzbay , Shinibaev Abai , Kassymbekov Galimzhan
Published: November 2023

One of the main causes of damage to weirs regulating the flow of water in canals is local erosion of the bottom and banks. This is mainly due to the excessive kinetic energy of the stream flow and the uneven volumetric distribution of the water flow rate at the end of the strengthening. Due to this, 35–40% of hydraulic structures fail prematurely. The aim of the research was to determine the parameters of the spatial hydraulic jump arising behind the hydrotechnical structure and the rapid expansion of the cross-section. The research showed that the hydraulic jump with a curved cylinder in the plan is a spatial form and not only dissipates the energy of the stream, but also acts as a diffuser. With the stream expansion angle values in the range of 7–10°, a highly turbulent flow remains, which still has high kinetic energy at a distance from the end of the structure. At an angle of 25–27°, the flow is smooth, the velocity distribution is uniform across the width of the channel. In some cases, the forced expansion of the cross-section at the outflow of the weir favours the energy dissipation and uniform flow velocity distribution.

Published: November 2023

Atmospheric precipitation is the major input to the soil water balance. Its amount, intensity, and temporal distribution have an indubitable influence on soil moisture. The aim of the study (conducted in the years 2010–2013) was to evaluate soil water balance in an apple orchard as determined by daily rainfall. The amount and intensity of rainfall and daily evapotranspiration were measured using an automatic weather station. Changes in soil water content was carried out using capacitance probes placed at a depth of 20, 40 and 60 cm. The most common were single events of rainfall of up to 0.2 mm, while 1.3–3.6 mm rains delivered the greatest amount of water. A significant correlation was found between the amount of daily rainfall and changes in water content of individual soil layers. The 15–45 cm and 15–65 cm layers accumulated the greatest amount of high rainfall. The study showed a significant influence of the initial soil moisture on changes in the water content of the analysed layers of the soil profile. The lower its initial moisture content was, the more rainwater it was able to accumulate.

Published: November 2023

At present, Pakistan has been facing acute shortage of irrigation water and farmers have been using conventional irrigation methods for orchards, such as flood and basin irrigation, thus wasting huge amount of fresh water. Therefore, it is necessary to find efficient irrigation methods to cope with this major burning issue. The micro drip irrigation method is considered efficient but in the case of mango orchards there is a problem of irrigation frequency, number of emitters, and duration of flow from emitters to meet water demand. Considering the above, an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of the Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam, by installing the drip system with two circular peripheries of lateral lines in clay loam soil covering the entire canopy of a mature mango tree. The radius of the first and second periphery around the tree trunk was 100 cm and 150 cm, respectively. Four emitters with 4 dm3∙h –1 discharge of individual dipper were fixed in each periphery. Emitters were tested for six different irrigation times, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 h, to observe the moisture distribution pattern. Hydraulic characteristics, such as density, field capacity, porosity, infiltration rate, available water and permanent wilting point (PWP), were determined using standard methods (1.4 g∙cm –3, 33%, 49%, 8 mm∙h –1, 12.41% and 20% respectively). The texture class of the soil profile was determined as clay loam at the soil depth 0–120 cm. Fifty soil samples were collected at 0–10, 10– 30, 30–60, 60–90, and 90–120 cm depths and at 0–20, 20–40, 40–60, 60–80 and 80–100 cm distances on two opposite sides of emitters. The emitters provided sufficient moisture up to field capacity in clay loam soil with flow duration of 4 h. The maximum moisture distribution efficiency was 77.89% with flow duration of 4 h at vertical depth of 0–120 cm and 0–100 cm distance horizontally among four emitters as compared to 1, 2, 3 h flow duration which under irrigated the canopy area and 5, 6 h flow duration which excessively irrigated the canopy area of the mango tree. The water demand of the mango tree was met by 4 h flow duration which provided adequate moisture to the entire canopy up to 120 cm depth in the root zone and water saving was calculated as 15.91% under the installed drip irrigation system as compared with the conventional (basin) irrigation method.
Retraction: Comparative physiological aspects of plasma hemostasis of some commercial fish species [The editors of the Journal of Water and Land Development retract this article because of autoplagiarism found: an article with the same title and results by Daria Igorevna Berezina and Luybov Leonidovna Fomina was identified in the Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries ( https://ejabf.journals.ekb.eg/article_209965.html].

The hemostasis system is designed to ensure the integrity of the body’s internal environment, stop bleeding, and maintain a liquid state of blood in the vascular channel. Modern biological and veterinary science presents highly fragmented and scarce data containing clinical and diagnostic clotting characteristics in different fish species. An essential point emphasising the practical component of such studies is spontaneous thrombus formation in fish farming described in the literature. The present research is devoted to the study of the functional state of plasma hemostasis in some ray- finned commercial fishes: phylogenetically more ancient cartilaginous ganoids – sturgeon Acipenser baerii and hybrid of sterlet A. ruthenus and starred sturgeon A. stellatus, as well as bony fishes – carp Cyprinus carpio and tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. It should be noted that the current study was performed at the aquaculture development center “AquaBioCenter” of VSDFA from 2015 to 2020. Species-specific features of clotting were revealed: activation by common and extrinsic pathways, characterised by thrombin time ( TT), prothrombin time ( PT), and fibrinogen concentration, is several times faster in cartilaginous ganoids than in both bony fish species; hemostasis with activation of the intrinsic pathway, characterised by activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT), is faster in hybrids and tilapias, in contrast to carps and sturgeons. Content of soluble fibrin monomer complexes ( SFMC) in all fish was higher than in dogs and humans but lower than in cattle. The highest amount of SFMC was detected in carps, the lowest – in cartilaginous ganoids.

Authors: Tchórzewska Karolina , Tchórzewski Jakub , Ksel Aleksandra , Rzeźnicki Adam , Cichońska-Rzeźnicka Dominika , Krakowiak Jan
Published: November 2023

Background

HPV (human papilloma virus) is one of the most common viral infections and almost every sexually active person will be infected with it during their lifetime. Infection may be asymptomatic or clinically manifest causing multiple disease units. There is primary prevention available in the form of recommended protective vaccinations.

Objective

To assess knowledge about the human papillomavirus and factors influencing the attitude towards recommended HPV vaccinations among the inhabitants of the Lodz Voivodeship.

Material and methods

Original online survey questionnaire consisting of 20 questions. The study involved 134 participants.

Results

80.6% of the respondents knew what the abbreviation HPV means. 75.0% of them correctly identified the route of sexual contact as the route of the virus transmission. The majority, i.e., 85.1%, of those surveyed indicated cervical cancer as a disease that may be the result of HPV infection. 92.5% of respondents were aware of the existence of the HPV vaccine, while 72.9% of them were aware that it was recommended for both girls and boys. 92.3% of those who had been vaccinated in the past supported the recommended protective vaccinations, as well as 52.4% of those who had not been vaccinated, and 46.2% of those with unknown vaccination history

Conclusions

Medical workers were more knowledgeable about the human papillomavirus than non-medical workers, so physicians should constantly educate their patients. People who were vaccinated in the past have a more positive attitude towards vaccination than people were not vaccinated. Information campaigns should be organized for the inhabitants of the Lodz Voivodeship to promote knowledge about pathogenicity, risk factors, and HPV prevention and its methods.
Probiotics and Synbiotics: The Consumers Perspective
Authors: Bernatek Małgorzata , Grzemska Margarita , Piątek Jacek , Sommermeyer Henning
Published: November 2023

Background:

Probiotics and synbiotics are non-prescription products frequently used by consumers. However, little is publicly known about customers’ product usage and knowledge, and the drivers influencing intake initiation and product selection.

Objectives

A survey among Polish customers was performed to evaluate their behavior in regard to intake initiation, administration, product selection, knowledge and efficacy experience.

Material and Methods

Net promoter scores (NPS) were determined for subsets of consumers. A majority of consumers initiate intake because of specific medical needs and recommendation by a physician.

Results

Application of several individual treatment courses per year is not uncommon and treatment lengths range from about a week to daily intake. Product selection is driven by own past experience, physician recommendation, and to a lesser extent pharmacist recommendation. Consumers’ knowledge about relevant product features is limited. Nearly half of study participants experienced positive effects after administration of probiotics or synbiotics. Good consumer experience correlates with high NPS-values. Results from the study show that physicians and to a lesser extent pharmacists can play an important role in guiding consumers towards a rational usage and selection of probiotics and synbiotics.

Conclusions

Communication between doctors and patients should focus on the efficacy of product features, as supported by scientific data.

Published: November 2023

Crisis management (CM) operations and organisations may face internal, external and hybrid threats (HTs) against their information and/or personnel. This research looks at how selected European Union (EU), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and national perspectives address internal, external and global HTs and influence, even warfare, and maps some relevant strategies to prepare against them in a CM context. Strategies to fight against HTs include relevant political debate and decision-making, integration of EU- and national-level security into critical infrastructure and regular preparedness exercises. Responses to HTs call for relevant technical, situational awareness and problem-solving skills. This research shows how collaboration and situation understanding can assist in detecting and responding to possible cyber and HTs against CM operations. This study examines how collaboration and understanding the situation assist in detecting and responding to HTs to CM operations. There is evidence that information exchange and collaboration are important elements in the fight against hybrid influence and war. Combating misinformation through public education campaigns can support both the civilian and military elements of CM operations. Specific training can be designed to counter aggressive propaganda and disinformation efforts against personnel in CM operations. This maintains one’s initiative and trust in the aims of the mission.
The Impact of Consolidating On-Demand Food Delivery on Sustainability: A Simulation Study
Authors: Sunarso Radhitya V.P. , Wibowo Budhi S.
Published: November 2023

On-demand food delivery services have transformed the food industry, offering customers a convenient way to order their favorite food from restaurants and have it delivered to their doorstep. However, the increased number of delivery vehicles has led to higher costs, traffic congestion, and carbon emissions. To tackle these negative impacts, consolidating the delivery process by combining multiple orders from different restaurants to various customers has been suggested. This study evaluates the sustainability impact of direct versus consolidated orders in the on-demand food delivery sector. To achieve the objective, we used an agent-based simulation model based on real delivery data from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Our simulation results indicate that due to constraints in time windows and routing complexity, only a small portion of all orders can be consolidated. But where consolidation is feasible, it can benefit businesses and the environment by reducing costs for customers, increasing drivers’ productivity, and reducing carbon emissions. The downside is that it may result in a longer customer waiting time. These findings provide valuable insights for businesses and policymakers seeking to promote sustainable practices in the on-demand food delivery sector.
Criteria for the Assessment of Health Risk from a Waste Gasification Plant
Authors: Tubino Marco , Ragazzi Marco , Adami Luca , Schiavon Marco
Published: November 2023

In mountainous regions, the atmospheric dispersion of air pollutants is limited by complex terrain morphology. Trentino (a province located in the Italian Alps) is characterized by a high population density, highly developed agriculture and farming, and the presence of civil and industrial activities, whose emissions tend to be trapped inside the valleys. These conditions translate into exposure levels that are potentially higher than other geographical contexts (e.g., flat or coastal regions). The academic research carried out in Trentino since 2005 has produced a series of publications on topics related to the risk for health derived from waste management and other activities. These publications has focused on: 1) the evaluation of the emissions of organic pollutants from the waste sector; 2) the monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in various environmental matrices; 3) a methodology to carry out a comprehensive health risk assessment considering all the relevant exposure routes in an area; 4) the role of the local diet in the exposure of a population to POPs; 5) methodologies to define new regulatory limit values for dioxin and hexavalent chromium; and 6) the role of dispersion modeling in assessing the exposure to air pollutants. The present paper will review these publications and provide a reference document to evaluate new project proposals that require a health risk assessment and facilitate the work of proponents, clarifying the requirements of a health risk assessment. The paper will refer to waste gasification, but the considerations expressed in this paper may apply to other activities.

Cyberbullying is one of the biggest electronic problems that takes multiple forms of harassment using various social media. Currently, this phenomenon has become very common and is increasing, especially for young people and adolescents. Negative comments have a significant and dangerous impact on society in general and on adolescents in particular. Therefore, one of the most successful prevention methods is to detect and block harmful messages and comments. In this research, negative Arabic comments that refer to cyberbullying will be detected using a support vector machine algorithm. The term frequency-inverse document frequency vectorizer and the count vectorizer methods were used for feature extraction, and the results were improved using the cuckoo search algorithm. The resulting accuracy before and after optimizing the support vector machine’s hyperparameters is 85.8% and 87.1%, respectively.

Published: November 2023

Many species are resistant to heavy metals in their surrounding polluted environment and Staphylococcus sp. is an example. This study aimed to isolate and characterize bacteria resistant to heavy metals in the Shatt Al-Arab River in southern Basra, Iraq. Based on the morphology and using Vitek II system, and due to their high resistance to heavy metals (mercury and chromium), two species of Staphylococcus (Staphylococcus lentus and Staphylococcus lugdunensis) were chosen and isolated. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the isolates against Hg and Cr was determined after 72 h. of incubation in solid media. All isolates were resistant to Hg (2000 mgL-1) and Cr (4000mgL-1). Living biomass of S. lentus and S. lugdunensis was used to remove the heavy metal ions in various concentrations (5, 10 and 25 mgL-1) of the solutions of aqueous metals. After 72 hours incubation, the removal percentage of S. lugdunensis was 98.91 and 78.78% for Hg and Cr respectively. That for S. lentus it was 77.83% for Cr after 72 hours,  and 98.84% for Hg after 24 h. of incubation. The scanning electron microscope approved that the removal of these metals causes morphological changes in bacteria.

It is noted that the professional culture includes various models of behavior in the conditions of professional activity, as well as such aspects of the general culture of the individual as literacy, competence, spirituality, tolerance, etc. The structural components of the manager's professional culture are characterized: personal, cognitive, operational. Attention is focused on the fact that the formation of the professional culture of managers is a rather complex process, since in the course of performing his duties, the manager simultaneously acts as both a subject and an object of management. Innovative technologies that can be successfully used in the process of forming the professional culture of a future manager in a higher education institution include empowerment and resilience. pragmatic aspects of management, and socio-psychological, personal components of professional activity. It was concluded that the empowerment-approach in training a manager allows to activate his strong personal and professional sides, to increase managerial efficiency in social interactions, to form resistance to professional burnout; the use of resilience technology ensures the absence of deviations in the adaptation and trajectory of the future manager's professional development, the stability of his functioning in extreme situations, the prevention of psychological disorders, in particular, emotional burnout.

Advanced takeoff trajectories are proposed for supersonic transport noise reduction by capitalizing on excess engine thrust and improved aerodynamic efficiency at higher takeoff speeds. These novel trajectories use i) automatic continuous control of thrust, ii) increased takeoff speed, and iii) reduced cut-back altitude, compared to conventional pilot-initiated discrete thrust cut-back procedures currently used for subsonic transport. In this paper, we develop an optimal control framework to assess the attributes of effective takeoff trajectories for supersonic transport that yield minimum noise levels. We quantify the noise reduction potential of advanced takeoff trajectories for the eight-passenger, 55-metric-ton, Mach-1.4 NASA Supersonic Technology Concept Airplane. For the aircraft examined, these advanced takeoff trajectories enable a cumulative certification noise reduction of 10.6 EPNdB, which is insufficient to meet current subsonic transport noise limits.
Detumbling of Underactuated Tethered Satellite System Based on Hierarchical Sliding Mode Control

Millions of space debris pose a significant risk to operational spacecraft, making active debris removal (ADR) missions an urgent priority. Net capturing is a promising method to remove space debris objects due to its multiple advantages. However, once a target has been captured, a combined tethered system comprising the chaser, the target, and the tethers is formed, which requires effective stabilization. In this paper, stabilization of the entire postcapture system is realized by solely controlling the active chaser satellite. Such a control strategy can attenuate system hardware facilities compared with those by applying additional tether control such as using a winding mechanism, which were mostly discussed in the literature. Further, for the first time, considering the uncertainties during the capture process, including inaccurate target parameters, initial attitude error of the target, and external disturbances, a hierarchical sliding mode controller (HSMC) with two sublayers is developed to detumble this underactuated system. Additionally, a hybrid position controller is proposed to eliminate the undesired swing motion within the system. Numerical simulations demonstrate that HSMC method delivers better performance over the proportional-derivative controller in efficiency and robustness for postcapture stabilization of the combined tethered system. Overall, our proposed control strategy offers a promising solution for future ADR missions, contributing to a safer and more sustainable space environment.
Evaluation of Uncertainties of Pressure Gain Measurements in Rotating Detonation Combustor

Experimentally measuring the pressure gain of a rotating detonation combustor through the method of equivalent available pressure is prone to many experimental uncertainties. A detailed analysis of sources of random and systematic uncertainties in the thrust and pressure gain is performed using data from a hydrogen/air-operated rotating detonation combustor. The combustor had an axial air inlet and a 50% exit constriction. The measured (negative) pressure gain values agree with the results in the literature for similar inlet-to-exit area ratios. The base drag correction on the centerbody was found to be the greatest source of uncertainty for the thrust. While thrust is the predominant source of random uncertainty in the pressure gain calculation, significant systematic errors can be committed due to the assumed exit Mach number. The impact of this assumption becomes more detrimental the closer to positive the measured pressure gain is. By experimentally evaluating the exit Mach number, the random and systematic uncertainty in pressure gain both decreased, indicating that this should be an essential step. A definitive demonstration of gain is challenging, given the assessed uncertainties, and recommendations are provided to increase the precision of the equivalent available pressure methodology.
