Gender Stereotypes in Moroccan EFL Textbooks’ Illustrations: Content and Critical Image Analysis
Authors: Benla Hassane
Published: March 2023

Textbooks have always been influential in transmitting knowledge and values in modern education systems. However, they may transmit various gender-based stereotyped roles that could negatively affect learners in shaping their worldview. Accordingly, this study investigates gender stereotypes in the visual discourse of one English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbook currently used in Moroccan secondary schools. It does so by looking at male/female appearance in the textbook illustrations. It also considers gender differences in occupations and roles. Moreover, the study employs a qualitative critical image analysis to selected images based on Giaschi’s (2000) model analysis. To this end, the research comprises quantitative content analysis and qualitative critical image analysis. The findings show less visibility of female characters in illustrations, ascribing them to gender-based traditional occupations and subordinate roles. Besides, the qualitative critical image analysis reveals that women still suffer from misrepresentation by depicting them as dependent, submissive, and needing help. The study contains, in the end, recommendations for promoting gender equality through textbooks in Morocco.
English Teachers’ Use of Multiple Modalities

Published: March 2023

Integration of Information, Communication, and Technology helps instructors meet the global need for substituting technology-based teaching and learning tools and services for conventional teaching techniques. English teachers can customise learning for students, and thus it is important to explore new subjects and provide goal-focused training to students. Thus, motivating teachers to use technology and develop their teaching styles to emphasise good teaching is important. Teachers should stop seeing technology as an obstacle to learning. Self-efficacy theory relates to the expectancy-value framework, and motivation is based on the expectation of outcomes through a given course of action. Fundamental psychological needs can also be met with the help of motivation, which eventually increases the desire to undertake competent activities. This study revealed the importance of teachers’ technological skills to connect well with students and help them complete their tasks efficiently. Different theories, such as attribution and self-efficacy, have also been incorporated to understand the effectiveness of different tools and technologies. This method could improve students’ ability to learn new languages and their communication skills. This study recommends using information tools, as they effectively improve teaching methods and strategies. Information tools are considered strong and constructive tools that allow teachers to improve their strategies and communicate with students. Besides, it is also effective to incorporate lesson plans that can enhance the scope of students’ use of technologies to study and gather relevant ideas about various language and linguistic topics.
The programmable steering machine for the electric lightweight vehicle
Authors: Jemioł Leszek , Wołczyński Zbigniew , Rimkus Alfredas , Smigins Ruslans , Górska Milena , Purtak Mariusz
Published: March 2023

In this paper a programmable steering machine (PSM) and the lightweight electric powered vehicle, designed and made at the Kazimierz Pulaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom (UTH Radom) have been presented. Both these technical objects are the result of the project carried out by the Student Research Group ?Turbodoładowani?. The steering machine has been developed with the programmable algorithms allowing to execute a controllable movement of the vehicle steering wheel. After execution, the system does not need an interaction with the driver. For this reason, a higher repetition of the vehicle traction measurements can be achieved. Such confirmation obtained in tests within which the time waveforms of rotation angle of the steering wheel by a set value of 45, 90, 180 and 360 degrees was recorded.  In particular, the accuracy index for mentioned test conditions was calculated. Obtained results, expressed by the average value of the sensitivity index were lower than 2% within the tests carried out for ?45 degree maneuvers. In case of other tests i.e., for ?90, ?180 and ?360 degree maneuvers the accuracy index value was lower than 0.3%. In this way, it was confirmed that the tested PSM reached the appropriate operating parameters necessary for vehicle traction tests.
They «smelt of rot»: Abjection and Infection in Seamus Heaney’s Early Work
Authors:   Indiana State University, Alexander Stephanie
Published: March 2023

This essay considers Seamus Heaney’s early pastoral poetry through the lens of Julia Kristeva’s notion of the abject, the fearful and feminine Other. Abjection offers a way of reading and understanding the creeping darkness and fearful fertility of Heaney’s early landscapes, which are often more complex and less celebratory than Heaney’s reputation as a nature poet would suggest. This essay utilizes abjection in order to propose a reading of these early poems that puts into conversation both the geopolitical reality of Northern Ireland and the role that gender traditionally has played in Irish poetry, complicating and clarifying both of these positions.
A Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of a Sample of Posters Used in the 2016 and 2020 Election Campaigns in Ireland
Authors:   University of Alicante, Martínez-Lirola María ,   University of South Africa
Published: March 2023

The main objective of this research is to analyse the main similarities and differences in the way the political leaders of the Irish political parties Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are portrayed in the political posters of the general election campaigns of 2016 and 2020 in Ireland. The analysis of the posters will shed light on how the visual and linguistic characteristics contribute to the portrayal of the politicians and to the way they are empowered as leaders. Therefore, this article highlights the importance of the poster in the creation of political power. The politicians in the posters will be approached as social actors and the political poster understood as a multimodal text. Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual grammar (2021) will be used to analyse the compositional design of the poster. Moreover, van Leeuwen’s model of visual social actors (2008) will be used to analyse how social distance, social relation and social interaction contribute to establishing a relationship between the politician represented and the audience. The results of the research will show the main strategies employed in order to persuade people to vote for one party instead of another, in the sample selected.
“You’re like a vegetarian in leather shoes”: Cognitive Disconnect and Ecogrief in Stacey Gregg’s
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Pereira Savi Melina , Balduino P. Fernandes Alinne ,   Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina
Published: March 2023

In this article, we analyse how Northern Irish playwright Stacey Gregg’s Override (2013) can be read through the lens of the Anthropocene, a term from the geological sciences that has been appropriated by the humanities to question issues of human exceptionalism. Firstly, we examine the ways in which the play, by means of Vi and Mark’s failed attempt to escape technological misuse, challenges the nature/culture dichotomy, which is central to the instrumentalisation of nature for human domination Secondly, we consider how ecogrief comes with the loss of social and humanistic elements that were once grounding and grounded, but are now unstable and murky, such as the idea of what entails a human being. Ultimately, we contend that that derives from the cognitive disconnect resulting from not being able to understand one’s role in the development of an ongoing catastrophe.

Is creating materials with a desired refraction coeﬃcient practically possible?
Authors: Ramm Alexander G.
Published: March 2023

A theory of many-body wave scattering is developed under the assumption a << d << λ, where a is the characteristic size of the small body, d is the distance between neighboring bodies and λ is the wave-length in the medium in which the bodies are embedded. The multiple scattering is essential under these assumptions. The author’s theory is used for creating materials with a desired refraction coeﬃcient. This theory can be used in practice. A recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coeﬃcient is formulated. Materials with a desired radiation pattern, for example, wave-focusing materials, can be created.

Published: March 2023

Intestinal parasites of dogs and cats may affect their health with a significant zoonotic risk to public health. Therefore, establishing an efficient control program should pass through the determination of the diversity, prevalence, and pathogenicity of those parasites. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in dogs and cats and proceed to infection comparisons between young and adult animals. The detection of parasites in fecal samples was determined using flotation and immunofluorescent methods across 320 dogs and 64 cats from the Kvarner region in Croatia. The prevalence was calculated for each detected parasite in its host. Differences in prevalence between young animals and adults were analyzed. Parasites were detected in 32 dogs and 34.4% of cats. In total, 12 different genera were detected; Giardia spp. was the most prevalent parasite in both species, infecting 24.7% and 18.8% of investigated dogs and cats, respectively. Cryptosporidium spp. and Toxocara cati had a prevalence of (18.4%) and (6.3%), respectively. Prevalences of Giardia spp., Cryptosporidium spp., and Cystoisospora spp. were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in puppies compared to adult dogs. Pentatrichomonas hominis (P. hominis) was detected in one puppy. In addition to the first report of P. hominis, a relatively high prevalence of intestinal parasites in dogs and cats in the Kvarner region of Croatia was recorded, posing a potential zoonotic risk.

Published: March 2023

With the rapid development of electronic technology and military techniques, electromagnetic protection materials are becoming more and more significant to people. Harmful electromagnetic radiation not only affects the normal operation of electronic equipments and military security, but also has a serious impact on human health. At present, using absorbing and shielding materials are effective means to reduce the harm of electromagnetic waves. In this project, graphite, graphene and silver-coated copper powder coated composites were prepared using PU-2540 polyurethane and adopting a coating process for the substrate on plain polyester/cotton fabric. The controlled variable method was used to prepare and study the electromagnetic properties of single-layer coating composites with different functional particle contents. The result showed that within the frequency range of 0.01GHz~1.0GHz, when the total mass of functional particles was 48% relative to that of the polyurethane, the value of the real part of the dielectric constant of the sample remained the largest and its polarization ability was the strongest. Within the frequency range of 0.08GHz~1.0GHz, when the content of functional particles was 24% relative to that of the polyurethane, the value of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant and the loss of the tangent value of the sample kept the maximum, and the loss and attenuation ability with respect to electromagnetic waves were both the strongest. Within the frequency range of 1.3GHz~2.0GHz, when the content of functional particles was 36% relative to that of the polyurethane, the value of the reflection loss of the sample was -26.93dB, and the minimum value of the reflection loss was obtained at a frequency of 1.6GHz, at the moment of which, the absorbing property of the sample was the best.
Percepções de estudantes e coordenação escolar acerca da adolescência, protagonismo/participação juvenil e escola
Authors: Araújo Elenice Procópio , Tondin Celso Francisco
Published: March 2023

A partir dos anos 1990, a ideia do/a protagonismo/participação permite vislumbrar o/a adolescente pobre como agente social. Objetiva-se compreender as percepções de estudantes e da coordenação escolar sobre adolescência, protagonismo/participação juvenil e o papel da escola no desenvolvimento da cidadania emancipatória. Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação realizada em uma escola pública brasileira, com a participação da coordenação escolar (diretora, vice-diretora e especialista/pedagoga) e 15 estudantes, do 9.º ano do ensino fundamental ao 3.º ano do ensino médio. Na análise do discurso, constatou-se que, na visão dos/as adolescentes, suas questões são pouco valorizadas pelos/as adultos/as, restando àqueles/as lidar com elas. Enquanto alguns/mas estudantes não veem sentido na escola, outros/as esperam que ela melhore suas vidas, embora ela seja tida apenas como meio de alcançar poder econômico e felicidade individual. Percebe-se, pelo discurso da coordenação escolar, que as práticas de ensino são conteudistas, sem sentido e pouco favorecedoras do pensamento crítico. Na visão dos/as estudantes, ações escolares pautadas pelo acolhimento, descontração e reflexão, como gincanas e grêmio estudantil, estimulam a participação deles/as. Propostas emancipatórias demandam percepções sobre adolescência e educação de mesmo teor, iniciativas pautadas na dialogicidade e medidas estruturais e estruturantes da sociedade.

Published: March 2023

En el área del estrato volcán La Malinche la fuente de agua es el acuífero. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación entre población y los niveles estáticos (NE) en los acuíferos Alto Atoyac y Huamantla. Se utilizaron las variables: número de habitantes (NH), tasas de cambio anual de NE, porcentajes de cambio anual de NE (〖PCA〗_NE), tendencias de NE y NH . Los pozos se agruparon con análisis de componentes principales (ACP). Los 〖PCA〗_NE se compararon con un diseño factorial. La tasa de cambio anual promedio de NE fue igual a -0.159m·año-1 y 6.7% de 〖PCA〗_NE. Las tasas de cambio de NE, fueron estadísticamente diferente entre los acuíferos. La relación entre NE y NH que resalta fue igual a -16.5cm·hab-1. Las tendencias de NH fueron mayores que las tendencias de NE. El diseño factorial arrojó que entre las temporadas de lluvia y estiaje los 〖PCA〗_NE no tuvieron diferencias significativas, pero entre los tipos de concesión si los hubo. El ACP correlacionó 51 pozos con una componente. En resumen, este estudio reveló que los 〖PCA〗_NE son mayores en las zonas agrícolas y urbanas. El NE en los pozos de uso industrial se abate cinco veces más que en los de uso público. La relación entre población y NE fue más clara en la montaña que en los valles. El ACP mostró que los pozos de los alrededores de La Malinche se diferencian de los demás del área de estudio.

Los costes excepcionales de ejecución de los contratos públicos: entre el ius variandi y el riesgo imprevisible
Authors: Cano Campos Tomás
Published: March 2023

El incremento excepcional de los costes de ejecución de los contratos públicos está revelando las graves deficiencias que aquejan a la regulación de esta fase de la contratación pública. A la tradicional confusión entre el factum principis y el riesgo imprevisible, se ha unido ahora la delimitación entre éste y el ius variandi, potestad que, en contra de su entendimiento tradicional, pretende ser utilizada como técnica de restablecimiento del equilibrio contractual cuando se rompe por circunstancias imprevisibles. Esto plantea la cuestión de si la forma más adecuada de hacer frente al referido incremento es la modificación del precio sin más o la compensación por riesgo imprevisible y, en último término, si tales técnicas son las más idóneas para hacer frente a situaciones de crisis como la actual o resulta más apropiado acudir a la legislación de urgencia. El presente estudio, tras recordar algunos de los principios y conceptos capitales de la contratación pública, trata de responder a estos interrogantes.

Multi-Agent Inspection Path Planning with Large-Scale Vehicle Routing Problem
Authors: Im Jaehan , Lee Byung-Yoon
Published: March 2023

A path planning problem involving multiple vehicles for a large and complex structure inspection is challenging owing to its high computational complexity. This occurs from the large and sparse nature of the inspection graph as it requires heavy computation for both preprocessing the graph and solving the problem. However, there have been fewer research efforts that focus on the computation inefficiency occurring from graph preprocessing, which is an important issue that needs to be addressed for practical application. This research proposes an algorithm that fuses a graph clustering algorithm with an ant colony system algorithm. It effectively reduces the computation required for preprocessing the graph and accelerates the vehicle routing problem (VRP) solving process by narrowing down a search space. A series of numerical experiments has shown that the proposed algorithm is capable of handling a large and sparsely connected graph VRP within a significantly reduced computation time. In addition, the algorithm yields a superior solution quality as compared to that of the conventional algorithm.

Associations between M-protein and bone marrow fibrosis in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Authors: Halacoglu Aysun
Published: March 2023

Objectives:

Myelofibrosis may occur as a primary condition or secondary to several malignant or non-malignant conditions. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant condition in which collagen fibrosis and reticulin fibrosis may coexist. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bone marrow fibrosis in newly diagnosed MM and potential associations between serum M-protein concentrations and bone marrow fibrosis.

Material and Methods:

Ninety patients with newly diagnosed MM were retrospectively assessed in this study. Demographic characteristics, blood counts, blood biochemistry, bone marrow plasma cell percentage, and bone marrow fibrosis grades were recorded.

Results:

The bone marrow plasma cell percentage was ≥50% in 34.4% of patients and <50% in 65.6% of patients. The bone marrow plasma cell percentage was found to be 55% in the high fibrosis group and 42% in the low fibrosis group (P = 0.04). Bone marrow fibrosis was detected at a high level in 23.3% of the patients. No statically significant differences were found between the high fibrosis group and the low fibrosis group in the parameters, including age, sex, the type of myeloma, hemoglobin concentrations and platelet counts at diagnosis, β2 microglobulin, lactate dehydrogenase, disease stage, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate that were assessed in the study (P > 0.05). A statically significant association was found between lower fibrosis levels and higher Ig M and serum kappa levels and serum kappa/lambda ratio (P = 0.02, P = 0.03, and P = 0.03, respectively).

Conclusion:

In this study, significant correlations were found between low-grade bone marrow fibrosis to high IgM and the kappa/lambda ratio. In conclusion, in this study, it was shown that bone marrow fibrosis in MM differs according to subtypes.

Early T precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP ALL) is rare and has a characteristic phenotype. Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), as per World Health Organization, needs to have two different lineages. On cytochemistry, myeloid lineage is designated by more than 3% blast cells positivity for cytochemical myeloperoxidase (MPO). Flow cytometric analysis of MPO an arbitrary cutoff of 10% has been described in the literature for this purpose by some authors. Many laboratories performing flow cytometric immunophenotyping of hematolymphoid neoplasms do not use cytochemical MPO. The differential diagnosis between ETP ALL with myeloid antigen expression and T/Myeloid MPAL is tricky. Here, we describe a case where in cytochemistry and morphology favor myeloid lineage and flow cytometry findings in isolation favored ETP ALL, thereby highlighting the benefits of cytochemical MPO staining of bone marrow/blood smears in the diagnostic workup for acute leukemia.

Стерх – священная птица для коренных народов, населяющих гнездовой ареал в северо-восточной части Сибири. В его отношении до сих пор действует система табу и запретов. Все это, несомненно, играет позитивную роль в его охране. Мы считаем, что бережное отношение к экологии стерхов необходимо воспитывать в людях,начиная с раннего возраста. В этом несомненную положительную роль играет литература и, на наш взгляд, бережное отношение к экологии стерхов, особенно в раннем возрасте, можно привить с помощью якутской литературы, где стерх – это символ культуры и мифологии, красоты и изящества, воплощение свободы и отражение неизведанной стороны бытия и бескрайнего облика Срединной земли, посредник между небом и землей. Мы использовали эмпирический метод: проведение анонимного опроса с целью определения отношения людей к стерху как биологическому виду и как священному символу культуры народа саха. Данные нашего исследования показали, что большинство людей понимают, что состояние экологии стерхов далеко от удовлетворительного, что для сохранения видовой численности популяции стерхов необходимо увлекать детей в дело защиты природы и что одним из действенных способов воспитания в детях бережного отношения к данным краснокнижным птицам является знакомство с образом стерха в якутской литературе, например, в Олонхо – древнем эпическом памятнике и других якутских произведениях.

The Siberian crane is a sacred bird for indigenous peoples inhabiting its breeding range in north-eastern Siberia. The system of taboos and prohibitions still applies to it. All this undoubtedly plays a positive role in its protection. We believe that a careful attitude to the ecology of Siberian cranes should be fostered in people from an early age. Literature plays an undoubted important role in this. In our opinion, a careful attitude to the ecology of Siberian cranes, especially at an early age, can be instilled through Yakut literature. In Yakut literature the Siberian crane is a symbol of culture and mythology, beauty and grace, the embodiment of freedom and a reflection of the unexplored side of existence and the boundless face of the Middle Earth, the mediator between heaven and earth. We used an empirical method: conducting an anonymous survey to determine people’s attitudes toward the Siberian crane as a biological species and as a sacred symbol of Sakha culture. Our study showed that most people understand that the ecological condition of the Siberian cranes is far from satisfactory. They also understand that it is necessary to involve children in the cause of nature protection in order to preserve the species population of Siberian cranes. One of the most effective ways to educate children about the careful treatment of these Red Book birds is to introduce them to the image of Siberian cranes in Yakut literature. For example, in Olonkho – an ancient epic monument and other Yakut works.

Предлагается подход к моделированию развивающихся систем, в основе которого лежит идея независимого построения взаимодействующих аспектных моделей за счет использования инструментальной вычислительной среды. Основные черты подхода заключаются в отказе от постулата о детерминированности поведения систем, развитие которых обеспечивается активностью элементов, и в событийном управлении их поведением. Обсуждаются основные требования к инструментальному обеспечению подхода. Ключевые слова: развивающиеся системы, активный элемент, атрибутное представление, аспектная модель, моделирование, мультиаспектность, многомерность, множественное структурирование, инструментальная поддержка.

An approach to modelling of the developing systems based on the idea of independent constructi- on of aspect models is proposed. The models are interacting through instrumental computing envi- ronment. Essentially, the postulate of the deterministic behaviour of systems is relaxed in the approach, the development of which is ensured by the activity of elements and event-driven control of their behaviour. The basic requirements for instrumental support of the approach are discussed. The proposed approach for studying and developing systems is aimed at supporting the construc- tion of software models and fulfilment of series of simulations. The results of simulations should provide the information about the real system. This requires an instrumental support of the approach to ensure the development of models, carrying out calculations performance control, management of simulations, collecting and processing of results. In this paper, we do not elaborate on issues of the external data input, output of information, but briefly discuss the outlined mechanism for monitoring the simulation pauses. These are important points for the real use of model complexes and they should be solved at the next stage of the design. In principle, indicated problems are solvable, but it seems reasonable to provide concrete proposals for these issues based on a detailed analysis of requirements given above. We should mention the issues of computational complexity of simulation, which are associated with our approach as applied to practical problems. Multi-thread execution of the elements actions, event-driven technique, etc. requires high computational cost. In this regard, our project should incorporate the use of existing general purpose software combined with a development of special facilities of the architecture dependent optimization. To improve the performance of the simulation, an adaptive software platform is required. Although this issue is beyond the scope of our discussion, we note that it must be solved in a more general context, implying the organization of parallel computations. In this connection, the use of the above-mentioned system seems to be a reasonable solution.

Distributed organizational and technical systems belong to the class of complex hierarchical man-machine systems. Analysis of the state for such systems is a nontriv- ial task. Methods of system analysis are used, so the complex system is decomposed into subsystems and business processes, implemented at various hierarchical levels to achieve the main goal. Analysis of the state of business processes allows you to increase the efficiency of decision-making procedures for optimizing these business processes. An algorithm for creating a snapshot of a business process system in a distributed organi- zational and technical system is considered. The DRAKON language was applied as the basic language for constructing models of business processes, which makes it pos- sible to obtain a prototype of a finite-state machine when building models of business processes. Visualization of business processes in the state space allows you to improve the efficiency of decision-making.

Распределенные организационно-технические системы относятся к классу сложных иерархических человеко-машинных систем. Анализ состояния таких систем является нетривиальной задачей. Используются методы системного анализа, сложная система декомпозируется на подсистемы и бизнес-процессы, реализуемые на различных иерархических уровнях для достижения основной цели. Анализ состояния бизнес-процессов позволяет повысить эффективность процедур принятия решений при оптимизации этих бизнес-процессов. Рассмотрен алгоритм со- здания снимка системы бизнес-процессов в распределенной организационно-технической системе. В качестве базового языка построения моделей бизнес-процессов применен язык ДРАКОН, позволяющий получить прототип конечного автомата при построении моделей бизнес-процессов.

Polymer-derived ceramics are advancing various sectors, such as health, defence, and aerospace, however, their manufacturing has been cumbersome, unsafe, and design-limited. Some efforts have been made to 3D print polymer-derived ceramics, however, the physio-chemical properties of those pre-ceramic resins have prevented their use in microfabrication and generating glass-ceramic phases. Here, a new pre-ceramic resin and microfabrication method, 3D print and shrink, has been developed to enable the fabrication of high-resolution glass-ceramic components. The resin utilises a binary thiol-acrylate based photocurable system, which has been optimised for high-resolution 3D printing and high isotropic shrinkage during pyrolysis, without incurring cracks or defects even at higher temperatures, as required for generating silicon oxycarbide glass-ceramics. The resin has also been found to overcome the limitations of oxygen inhibition and short shelf-life associated with their current acrylate and thiol-ene counterparts, respectively. The method has been validated for fabricating both positive and negative micro-features. A single-pixel resolution (ca. 30 um) has been maintained throughout the printing process, which has been further improved to a half-pixel resolution (ca. 15 um) in the sintered glass-ceramic, allowing 3D printing of a microneedle patch with ca. 28 um tips and a microfluidic distributor with ca. 250 um ID channels.

Small perturbations in the structure of materials significantly affect their properties. One example are single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which exhibit chirality-dependent near infrared (NIR) fluorescence. They can be modified with quantum defects through the reaction with diazonium salts and the number or distribution of these defects determine their photophysics. However, the presence of multiple chiralities in typical SWCNT samples complicates the identifica-tion of defect-related emission features. Here, we show that quantum defects do not affect aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) of different SWCNT chiralities into different phases, which pinpoints to low numbers of defects. For bulk samples the bandgap emission (E11) of monochiral (6,5)-SWCNTs decreases and the defect related emission feature (E11*) increas-es with diazonium salt concentration and represents a proxy for the defect number. The high purity of monochiral sam-ples from ATPE allows us to image NIR fluorescence contributions (E11 = 986 nm, and E11* = 1140 nm) on the single SWCNT level. Interestingly, we observe a stochastic (Poisson) distribution of quantum defects. SWCNTs have most-likely 1 to 3 defects (for low to high (bulk) quantum defect densities). Additionally, we verify this number by following single reaction events that appear as discrete steps in the temporal fluorescence traces. We thereby count single reactions via NIR imaging and demonstrate that stochasticity plays a crucial role for the optical properties of SWCNTs. These results show that there can be a large discrepancy between ensemble and single particle experiments/properties of nanomateri-als.
