Investigating the response of land–atmosphere interactions and feedbacks to spatial representation of irrigation in a coupled modeling framework
Authors: Lawston-Parker Patricia , Santanello Jr. Joseph A. , Chaney Nathaniel W.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The transport of water, heat, and momentum from the surface to the
atmosphere is dependent, in part, on the characteristics of the land surface.
Along with the model physics, parameterization schemes, and parameters
employed, land datasets determine the spatial variability in land surface
states (i.e., soil moisture and temperature) and fluxes. Despite the
importance of these datasets, they are often chosen out of convenience or
owing to regional limitations, without due assessment of their impacts on model
results. Irrigation is an anthropogenic form of land heterogeneity that has
been shown to alter the land surface energy balance, ambient weather, and
local circulations. As such, irrigation schemes are becoming more prevalent
in weather and climate models, with rapid developments in dataset
availability and parameterization scheme complexity. Thus, to address
pragmatic issues related to modeling irrigation, this study uses a
high-resolution, regional coupled modeling system to investigate the impacts
of irrigation dataset selection on land–atmosphere (L–A) coupling using a
case study from the Great Plains Irrigation Experiment (GRAINEX) field
campaign. The simulations are assessed in the context of irrigated vs.
nonirrigated regions, subregions across the irrigation gradient, and
sub-grid-scale process representation in coarser-scale models. The results
show that L–A coupling is sensitive to the choice of irrigation dataset and
resolution and that the irrigation impact on surface fluxes and near-surface
meteorology can be dominant, conditioned on the details of the irrigation
map (e.g., boundaries and heterogeneity), or minimal. A consistent finding
across several analyses was that even a low percentage of irrigation
fraction (i.e., 4 %–16 %) can have significant local and downstream
atmospheric impacts (e.g., lower planetary
boundary layer, PBL, height), suggesting that the representation
of boundaries and heterogeneous areas within irrigated regions is
particularly important for the modeling of irrigation impacts on the
atmosphere in this model. When viewing the simulations presented here as a
proxy for “ideal” tiling in an Earth-system-model-scale grid box, the results
show that some “tiles” will reach critical nonlinear moisture and PBL thresholds that could be important for clouds and
convection, implying that heterogeneity resulting from irrigation should be
taken into consideration in new sub-grid L–A exchange
parameterizations.
Wind tunnel experiments to quantify the effect of aeolian snow transport on the surface snow microstructure
Authors: Walter Benjamin , Weigel Hagen , Wahl Sonja , Löwe Henning
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The evolution of the surface snow microstructure under the influence of wind is hardly understood but crucial for polar and alpine snowpacks. Available statistical models are solely parameterized from field data where conditions are difficult to control. Controlled experiments which exemplify the physical processes underlying the evolution of density or specific surface area (SSA) of surface snow under wind are virtually non-existing. As a remedy, we conducted experiments in a cold laboratory using a ring-shaped wind tunnel with an infinite fetch to systematically investigate wind-induced microstructure modifications under controlled atmospheric, flow and snow conditions. Airborne snow particles are characterized by high-speed imaging, while deposited snow is characterized by density and SSA measurements. We used a single snow type (dendritic fresh snow), cover wind speeds from 3 ms−1 to 7 ms−1 (for fixed temperature) and vary temperatures from -24 °C to -2 °C (for fixed wind speed). The measured airborne impact trajectories confirm the consistency of our coefficient of restitution with large scale saltation, rendering the setup suitable to realistically study interactions between airborne and deposited snow. Our measured densification rates in the deposit as a function of wind speed show clear deviations from existing statistical models, but can be re-parameterized through our data. The most drastic changes in densification and SSA rates of deposited snow are observed close to the melting point. This study, as a first of its kind, exemplifies a rich non-linear interplay between airborne and deposited snow particles which is discussed in view of a multitude of involved processes, i.e. airborne metamorphism, cohesion, particle separation and fragmentation.

Design and Implementation of Switched Capacitor Banks Controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller for Power Factor Improvement of Three-Phase Induction Motors
Authors: Hamza Amir , Muhammad Awais  , Mohammad Hamza  , Faiza Ahmad  , Zahid ur Rehman
Published: July 2023

Industries widely use three-phase inductive loads, such as induction motors, due to their cost-effectiveness, low maintenance, reliability, and durability. However, these loads decrease the power factor, which leads to power wastage, higher billing costs, and penalties from electric power supply companies. To address this issue, a system has been developed that employs a programmable logic controller (PLC) to enhance the power factor of three-phase loads, which reduces the plant's operating costs and lessens the demand for electricity supply from the utility side. The system combines hardware and software components. The software includes logic-based PLC programming that controls the sequence of operations step by step, whereas hardware consists of power and control circuits and protective devices. When an inductive load is added to the system, the PLC reads the input signal from the magnetic contactor's contactor coil connected with the motor and sends an output signal to the corresponding contactor coil of the magnetic contactor to switch the appropriate capacitor bank to enhance the power factor. This paper discusses the experimental results for seven cases utilizing different load combinations with and without the developed system. Thus, energy management requires improving the load's power factor, and the PLC is used as a power factor controller (PFC) for many industrial control applications.

Developing an Integrated Process-Based Model of Tourists’ Destination Brand Equity: A Conceptual View
Authors: Shahzad Aamir , Ahmad Wisal , Manzoor Humera
Published: July 2023

Tourists’ destination branding and the formation of destination equity are considered among the most critical areas of tourism marketing. This conceptual paper presents a holistic framework of tourist’ destination brand equity by highlighting the role of social, personal, and cultural factors in forming a tourist knowledge of a given destination that ultimately leads to destination equity. In addition, the proposed framework also highlights the role of rational and emotional paths in the formation of tourist knowledge of a destination. Once a tourist develops knowledge about a goal, it then forms the equity of a given tourist destination. The proposed framework thus adds a novel model of tourist destination-based equity by incorporating the role of social, personal and cultural factors and how rational and emotional aspects develop a tourist knowledge that further leads to destination equity. In the same vein, the proposed model provides a guiding map to tourism policy makers and practitioners on how to develop equity of a particular tourist destination.
Generic Moves in The Literature Review Section of PhD Dissertations
Authors: Anjum Muhammad Tahir , Masroor Farzana
Published: July 2023

The dissertation/thesis as an academic genre has evolved in academic circles in the past 30 years or so. Research into various aspects of the academic genres in general and thesis writing, in particular, started more than two decades ago. However, not much research has been carried out regarding the theorizing of literature review writing as a separate genre in theses, especially in non-native English contexts. The present study aimed to fill the theoretical voids in the research area of Literature Review (LR) section in thesis writing in Pakistani academic settings; thus this study probes into the process of construction of literature reviewing to find out that how students organise this section and deal with the potential problems as an analytical piece of writing with sound argumentation. The current study has investigated the schematic patterns in the literature review through the framework of move analysis in genre theory. The data was drawn from fifteen (15) doctoral theses in the field of English linguistics. The methodology allows for an in-depth coding of the LR chapters in theses to investigate the rhetorical organization. In the coding process, the study has also taken insights from the two previous models of Kwan (2006) and Swales’ seminal CARS model (1990) in order to study the moves (and steps) as rhetorical units. The results of the study reflect the dominant presence of Move 1, Move 2 and Move 4, whereas the employment of Move 3 is comparatively less which justifies the worth of writer’s work. This reveals that the students resort to these moves more often to perform a ritual of literature reviewing and in dire need to be trained enough to craft the LRs argumentatively. Thus, researchers have proposed a revised model to overcome the shortcoming.
Neurotic Feminine Aspirations in the Characters of Maya, Bimla, Nanda and Monisha with Reference to Anita Desai’s Fictionracters of Maya, Bimla, Nanda and Monisha
Authors: Malik Saima , Jajja Mohammad Ayub
Published: July 2023

This article aims to investigate the representation of women by Anita Desai from psychoanalytical perspective.Desai, being a post-colonial writer has diverted the attention of many critics and perusers towards her astonishing style of portraying feminine desires and urges in such a minute way that startles the readers. Desai has amplified the unconscious desires of her female characters which are usually muted and suppressed in overarching patriarchal system. Desai has penetrated their unvoiced miseries and unfulfilled wishes which get chronic and later take the shape of neurotic trauma, so Desai debunks this aspect of ruthless chauvinistic society to give space to women voices in true sense. This angle of investigating characters remined unexplored by many writers for a very long time. Through her eminent novels like Fire on the Mountain, Cry the Peacock, Voices in the City and Clear light of the day, readers are well aware of the minute details she presents, these voices are echoed by her sorrowful and agonizing characters. Anita Desai has augmented these females with power of voice and reaction to challenge the power structures. The predicament and unaddressed sorrows of these female characters also pave way to recognize the miserable plight, contemporary women is facing in her life, in that way her characters supplement the perusers with fictional case studies to have broader comprehension of understanding the traumas of the females ultimately addressing those issues to build a healthy and balanced environment for women around.

Published: July 2023

Green algae (Caulerpa racemosa) are known to contain bioactive compounds which are hypothesized to have antiviral activities against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyze the anti-SARS-CoV-2 potential of compounds extracted from the green alga Caulerpa racemosa using in silico analysis. The extract was obtained through maceration with 96% ethanol and the compounds present in the extract were identified through gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The binding affinities were analyzed in silico using the PyRx application and visualized in the PyMOL software. GC-MS analysis of Caulerpa racemosa extract showed 92 spectral peaks, each of which was assigned to a bioactive compound. Of the six compounds with a strong binding affinity, n-[1-(1-adamantan-1-yl-propyl)-2,5-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-imidazo lidin-4-yl] 4-methoxy-benzamide had the lowest score (-8.1 kcal/mol) against the SARS-CoV-2 3C-like protease binding site, similar with that of remdesivir. The molecular dynamics calculations demonstrated that root means square deviation values of the selected inhibitors remained stable throughout a 15-nanosecond simulation. In conclusion, the in silico analysis suggests that Caulerpa racemosa extract is a potential antiviral candidate against SARS-CoV-2.

Authors: Duta Teuku F. , Tsurayya Ghina , Naufal Muhammad A.
Published: July 2023

Advancement in gaming technology, including exergame, is thought to offer a promising innovation in rehabilitative treatment owing to its interactive and joyful natures. Elderly, in addition to being prevalent in stroke, they have different perspectives and adaptability toward the utilization of exergame in post-stroke rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of exergame-based rehabilitation in ameliorating stroke-associated cognitive impairment among elderly patients. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. The literatures were retrieved from the searches on PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases using a combination of ‘exergame’, ‘stroke’, and ‘elderly’ along with their respective synonyms. Included studies were controlled observational studies and randomized clinical trials with subjects’ mean age >60 years old, measuring global cognitive and/or five cognitive domains (attention, language, executive function, memory, and visuospatial ability). Quality appraisals were performed based on the Cochrane ‘risk-of-bias tool’ and Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. Studies with high and good qualities were included in the meta-analyses. Six randomized controlled trials involving 179 patients were included in meta-analysis. Studies had variations in terms of type (combination of exergame-based and conventional rehabilitation or exergame-based only) and duration of interventions (30–110 min), length of observation (2–6 weeks), and tools used to examine cognitive outcomes. As compared with conventional rehabilitation, exergame-based rehabilitation was significantly more effective to improve global cognitive based on Montreal Cognitive Assessment Score in acute stroke patients (n=4; mean difference (MD) 3.66; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 2.08, 5.24; p<0.00001), but significantly less effective in chronic stroke patients (n=2; MD -1.54; 95%CI: -2.28, -0.81; p<0.0001). In conclusion, global cognitive of elderly patients with acute strokes could be improved through exergame-based rehabilitation which is more effective as compared with conventional therapy.

This study aims to determine the effect of advertising and brand image on purchasing decisions for Telkomsel mobile cards at SMA Negeri 3 Barru. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach and causal method. The quantitative approach is used to measure the relationship between the variables under study numerically, while the causal method helps in identifying the cause-and-effect between the variables. The research sample consisted of 100 students of SMA Negeri 3 Barru, who are potential consumers of Telkomsel mobile card products in the neighborhood. Research data were collected through two methods, namely observation and questionnaires filled out by SMA Negeri 3 Barru students. Observations were made to obtain information about student behavior related to cellular card purchasing decisions. In addition, questionnaires were used to collect data on students' perceptions of Telkomsel's advertisements and brand image as well as their purchasing decisions. After data analysis was carried out, it was found that the advertising and brand image variables had a significant influence on the purchasing decision variable. These results indicate that effective advertising and a positive brand image can increase the likelihood of SMA Negeri 3 Barru students to choose Telkomsel mobile cards as their choice. This study concludes that advertising and brand image play an important role in influencing purchasing decisions for Telkomsel cellular cards among SMA Negeri 3 Barru students. Therefore, telecommunications companies must continue to improve advertising strategies and build a strong brand image to support sales growth and maintain market share in the school environment and the local community. This study also provides insight for other researchers who are interested in digging deeper into the factors that influence purchasing decisions in an educational environment.

To Catch a Killer Cousin: Investigative Genetic Genealogy as a Critical Extension of Familial Searching in Serious Crime Convictions in Australia
Authors: Vittali-Smith Callum
Published: July 2023

The ways in which DNA can be used to identify unknown offenders in criminal investigations is constantly evolving. This article takes a developmental approach, exploring the use of DNA profiling, familial searching, and investigative genetic genealogy (‘IGG’), and considers whether Australia could, and should, expand its application of DNA analysis to identify offenders. Part II examines DNA profiling and familial searching which is now the status quo in Australia. However, it is then argued that familial searching is flawed, presenting unique issues of privacy and consent, and producing substantial biases. Part III then posits IGG as an emerging solution to the limitations of familial searching. Its development in the United States is explored, before explaining how the limitations of familial searching can be directly redressed by IGG. The article concludes by calling for IGG to be implemented in Australia, and offering some initial recommendations on how this might best be achieved.
The Richardson Review: Reviving the ‘Purpose’ of Law Enforcement and Intelligence Legislation
Authors: Walker-Munro Brendan
Published: July 2023

This article examines Australia’s recent review of its federal national security and intelligence agencies. The article argues that Australia’s current legislative structure for its intelligence agencies unacceptably blurs the lines between intelligence and law enforcement in a number of areas. In seeking to make several recommendations for law reform, this article engages with the ‘purpose’ of that legislation, and builds on the Richardson Review to provide for better distinction between the officers of intelligence agencies (‘spies’) and law enforcement (‘cops’).
Letting the Market Decide? The Rise – and Regulatory Risks – of the Australian Nanotechnology Industry
Authors: Jeffcoat Paris , Di Lernia Cary , New Elizabeth
Published: July 2023

In 2022, the European Union moved to ban the use of titanium dioxide as a food additive after it had been on the market for over four decades, due to safety concerns related to the additive’s nanoparticulate nature. Marking a significant backflip in the international regulatory approach to consumer products containing nano-objects, the global shifting of regulatory gears following the decision has already begun to filter through to domestic policymaking, with regulator Food Standards Australia New Zealand forced to reconsider their regulatory approach to the additive, which remains largely permissive. In view of the evolving understanding that technologies and objects at the nanoscale present new risks to humans and the environment, it is argued that a more precautionary approach should be considered by Australian regulators to fill the significant gaps in existing regulatory frameworks and safeguard stakeholders.
Climate Change, Inequality and Discrimination Law: The Example of Swimming Pool Access in Moree
Authors: Goldblatt Beth
Published: July 2023

Climate change exacerbates disadvantage and deepens inequality. Mitigation and adaptation measures to address climate change thus require equality-informed responses. This aligns with the goals of climate justice, which emphasise the rights of the most vulnerable, equality and fairness. Climate law and strategic litigation in pursuit of climate justice are rapidly evolving areas with a growing resort to human rights. This article argues that discrimination law should be considered, alongside other legal approaches, in shaping creative responses to the challenge of climate-related inequality. This strategic recourse to law is supported by the development of relevant discrimination law that is focused on humans within our ecological context, underpinned by an approach to equality that is transformative. The article draws on the example of access to a public swimming facility in the regional New South Wales town of Moree to consider how discrimination law might support equitable adaptation in pursuit of climate justice.
The Right to Disconnect in Australia: Creating Space for a New Term Implied by Law
Authors: Golding Gabrielle
Published: July 2023

A French labour law commenced in 2017 attempting to preserve a ‘right to disconnect’, requiring companies with 50 employees or more to negotiate policies about work-related communications with employees outside work. This legislation points to a universal problem, equally affecting Australian employees. The expectation to stay connected out-of-hours is making employees miserable, leading to burnout, poor performance, and high turnover. While a right to disconnect has not yet been widely recognised in Australia, this article explores the several forms it could take. Some employers have begun implementing equivalent changes to their workplace policies and enterprise agreements. The right could be formulated as an express contractual term. Modern awards and the National Employment Standards could be varied to include it. However, these options depend on direct intervention at the workplace level, or by Parliament. Instead, the common law could be instrumental in recognising it as a term implied by law.
