Published: November 2023

One of the most important factors that can affect the increase in lettuce productivity is hydroponic cultivation techniques. Hydroponic cultivation techniques can provide a more controlled growth environment. This study aims to determine the effect of several growing media and types of lettuce in a hydroponic system on the growth and production potential of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and its interactions. This research method used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 2 factors and 9 treatment combinations. The factors studied were planting media treatment factors with the symbol "M" which consisted of 3 levels, namely M1 = Cow Manure (Cow Manure Granola Fertilizer), M2 = cocopeat, and M3 = husk charcoal. The second factor was the type of lettuce with the symbol "(S)" consisting of 3 levels, namely S1 = romaine lettuce, S2 = siomak lettuce, and S3 = curly lettuce. Parameters measured in this study were plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter 2.3 and 4 weeks after planting, root length, crown fresh weight, and plant root weight. The results showed that the application of several planting media had a very significant effect on all parameters. The use of several types of lettuce has a very significant effect on all parameters. The interaction of several planting media and several types of lettuce in the hydroponic system on growth and production had no significant effect on all observation parameters.

In the Woold: Saskia Hamilton’s Dutch Roots
Authors: Oostdijk Diederik
Published: November 2023

Saskia Hamilton (1967–2023) was perhaps mostly known for her masterly edited letters of Robert Lowell, but she was first and foremost a poet in her own right. This essay traces how Hamilton both hid and revealed autobiographical details in her first three volumes, based on memories from the summers of her youth spent on a farm, the Woold, in the east of the Netherlands together with her Dutch grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousins, it traces how the Dutch stories of her childhood also poignantly merge with the realization of her untimely death in her forthcoming All Souls.
Lowell’s Life Writing in Prose and Poetry
Authors: Axelrod Steven Gould , Kosc Grzegorz
Published: November 2023

This article argues against the tendency to favor Robert Lowell’s autobiographical poetry over the autobiographical prose recently published in Memoirs. It opposes the conventional narrative that Lowell’s prose writing was only a preparatory stage for his work on Life Studies. Beyond planting the seeds for a handful of poems in Life Studies, the memoirs also forecast later poems in For the Union Dead and other volumes, and they look backward to Lord Weary’s Castle. The memoirs are best understood as engaging in a dialogue with the poems, probing remembered events in ways untried in the poems, and testifying to the mutability of both language and memory.
“Multitudes of Flags:” Elizabeth Bishop’s Human-Nonhuman Transpositions as a Legacy of John Donne’s Sacred-Profane Transpositions
Authors: Goodkin Kathy
Published: November 2023

This article asks how one might read Bishop’s poetry in conversation with John Donne’s and argues that Bishop’s frequent transpositions between the built, human world and the world of non-human nature can be read in the tradition of Donne’s sacred-profane transpositions. Donne, who engages in a form of sacred parody, transposes language and image between sacred and profane contexts, whereas Bishop transposes between the vocabularies of human culture and non-human nature. Using examples from Bishop’s and Donne’s work, the article demonstrates the way each explores the interanimation of perceived dualities to similarly transgressive effects.

Published: November 2023

A videolaparoscopia tem se tornado uma técnica cada vez mais utilizada em procedimentos cirúrgicos minimamente invasivos, proporcionando menor tempo de internação, de recuperação e menores índices de complicações pós-operatórias. Entretanto, em pacientes obesos, o pneumoperitônio por insuflamento de dióxido de carbono no abdômen, pode levar a distúrbios da mecânica respiratória durante e após a cirurgia, além do aumento do risco de complicações sistêmicas cardiovasculares e pulmonares. Dessa forma, com o crescente corpo de literatura sobre as complicações sistêmicas do pneumoperitônio na realização de videolaparoscopia em pacientes obesos, foi possível a realização de uma revisão integrativa de literatura por meio da plataforma pubmed, com seleção e análise criteriosa dos artigos, a fim de revisar e analisar as evidências atuais sobre o impacto do pneumoperitônio e suas complicações em obesos. Nesta revisão foi identificado que a obesidade naturalmente aumenta a pressão intra-abdominal (PIA) gerando dificuldades mecânicas na respiração. Logo, a obesidade associada ao pneumoperitônio intensifica ainda mais a PIA, necessitando de maior trabalho dos músculos respiratórios e modificações da relação ventilação/perfusão que contribuem para a diminuição da oxigenação arterial. Desse modo, existe na obesidade um aumento do risco para complicações advindas do pneumoperitônio criado na videolaparoscopia, uma vez que a diminuição da complacência pulmonar e o aumento da pressão elástica do sistema respiratório são mais graves em pacientes acima do peso. Além disso, o pneumoperitônio em pacientes obesos é reconhecido como risco para diversas alterações sistêmicas, tanto cardiovasculares quanto pulmonares. Portanto, entende-se que apesar de todas as vantagens da videolaparoscopia, a PIA causada pelo pneumoperitônio pode gerar complicações em vários sistemas do corpo, podendo ser potencializada pela obesidade. Essa patologia se apresenta não apenas como um dificultador técnico ou um fator de risco, mas também como um cooperante às complicações do pneumoperitônio, que necessita ser combatida.

Authors: Abd-Alhussain Ghasak Kais , Alatrakji Mohammed Qasim , Ahmed Shayma'a Jamal
Published: November 2023

Background: Insulin is available as an injectable drug and remains the mainstay of therapy. Researchers have attempted to develop an oral formulation of insulin, particularly utilizing nanoparticles (NPs). Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of insulin-loaded D-α-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)-emulsified PEG-capped PLGA NP in comparison to insulin-loaded PLGA NP and subcutaneous (SC) insulin in an in vitro and in vivo diabetic rat model. Methods: Two biocompatible and biodegradable NPs were used, in which 20 IU/kg of recombinant human soluble insulin was incorporated. NP1 was PLGA-loaded with human insulin, while NP2 was PLGA-PEG-TPGS-loaded with human insulin. The physical characteristics of the NPs were examined in an in vitro and in vivo study on a hyperglycemic rat model for a 24-hour duration. Results: For the first 3 hours, SC insulin showed a better reduction in serum glucose levels (SG) compared to both NP1 and NP2. A smooth, sustained reduction in SG was observed and maintained till the end of 24 hours with both NPs. NP1 maintained SG reduction for 6 hours before experiencing an increase, while NP2 demonstrated superior sustained reduction in SG beyond the 12-hour evaluation period. Conclusions: PLGA-PEG-TPGS NP can act as a potential carrier for oral insulin delivery and maintain good glycemic control for up to 24 hours.

Chinese-style Modernization in the Critique of Modernity
Authors: Chen Bao , Sun Xinyu
Published: November 2023

From a theoretical point of view, modernisation is a holistic social change involving all aspects and a long-term dynamic process of social development, which is a common characteristic of modernisation. Therefore, the cause of modernisation needs a strong leading core to integrate all forces, otherwise all fields of society may face an undesirable situation of mutual fragmentation and respective dominance in the process of social development, which will cause a fault in the strategy of social modernisation and trigger social conflicts. Western modernisation is a capital-led modernisation, a modernisation governed by modern rationality and the logic of capital, and its development is bound to be accompanied by a corresponding crisis of modernity. On the basis of the common features of modernisation, China has explored a modernisation framework different from that of the West in terms of the positioning of modernisation, leadership authority, value goals, development dynamics and paradigm of world interaction, so as to pull developing countries out of the swamp of "one-dimensional modernisation", and to eliminate the "myths" created by developing countries about Western modernisation. It has taken developing countries out of the swamp of "one-dimensional modernisation", broken the superstitions of developing countries about the "myth " created by Western modernisation, and enriched the development paths taken by developing countries in the world with the theoretical and practical paradigms of diversified modernisation based on their own national conditions, thus creating a new form of human civilisation and a brand-new choice for the modernisation of the human society.

Nanorobots simulation by using an amplified cell model with motor
Authors: Wei Wenyang
Published: November 2023

Nanotechnology is the future research area that could benefit human beings in many different directions. In order to build that technology for the human beings, it is necessary to do some research on the simulators to find out some important mechanical properties of these robots in the environment they are in, in other word, low Reynolds environments. To check the availability of the cell model, it is necessary to construct it by using MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS. After construction, the testing process would show that behavior difference of the model in relative high Reynolds environments and low Reynolds environments. The cell simulator would provide a faster swirling speed but a slower velocity in high viscosity solutions than in low viscosity solutions. That would be contradictory to the theory of the Reynolds number which potentially indicate a failure in the experiment. Thus, the macroscopic simulation model might not provide an accurate result for future nanorobotics.

Famous VTOL aircrafts like Osprey and Harrier are introduced. The technology behind VTOL aircraft is explained, and the ways in which VTOL aircraft can be made useful are reviewed. In addition, the prospect of VTOL aircraft has been made. This paper may offer a reference for the future works about VTOL.
Design of ECG circuits for wearable devices
Authors: Wu Guang
Published: November 2023

Heart diseases have become more and more prominent in recent years. ECG signals can accurately reflect the health of hearts during the detection process. The use of wearable ECG devices requires low power consumption, a high common-mode rejection ratio, and minimal noise. Traditional research has concentrated on lowering the circuit's overall power dissipation, which typically results in less current flowing through the amplifier but higher circuit noise. Therefore, this places higher demands on the amplifier in the circuit. Electronic devices are becoming smaller due to the rapid development of semiconductor technology. Amplifiers designed for semiconductor devices can effectively solve the problems mentioned above. The circuit created in this study has a low power need, a high common-mode rejection ratio, is compact, has a high input impedance, and has a low input-referred noise level. In addition, LT-Spice software was used to design and simulate the circuit, and the results were analyzed and calculated accordingly. The circuit meets the requirements of the project design. The frequency range of the circuit is 1mHz - 227.9Hz. The differential gain of the circuit is 36.6dB. The integrated input-fred noise is 3.94uV. The total consumption of electricity is 4.67W. These data indicate that the circuit has a high gain in the frequency range of ECG signals, which can filter out other interference signals. It also solves the problems of power consumption and noise.

For this purpose, the paper introduces some preliminary knowledge to help enter the research topic, such as the matrix rank, Kronecker product, quantum states and the calculation method of Schmidt decomposition and rank. The latter involves the Singular value decomposition in matrix factorization theory. The method of distinguishing orthogonal states in single and many-body systems is also introduced, by using the so-called positive operator-valued measurements. Then the paper proves the fact that single or multipartite system non-orthogonal states are indistinguishable regardless of whether there are auxiliary resources, which may be either separable or entangled states. The paper further illustrates the feasibility of maximum entangled states acting on two-body systems and gives corresponding examples. At the same time, the feasibility of auxiliary resources for smaller entanglement is also investigated.
The continuum hypothesis: Its independence from Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory and impact on mathematical foundations
Authors: Zheng Yaming
Published: November 2023

The Continuum Hypothesis, originally posited by the pioneering mathematician Georg Cantor in the latter part of the 19th century, stands as a cornerstone inquiry in the realm of set theory. This paper embarks on a journey, delving into the rudiments of set theory, before tracing the evolutionary trajectory of the Continuum Hypothesis. Central to this exploration is the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice (ZFC) a foundational pillar in modern set theoretic studies. The core tenets of ZFC are dissected, shedding light on the seminal proofs presented by luminaries in the field that underline the unprovability of the CH within this axiomatic system. Beyond its mathematical intricacies, the paper underscores the profound philosophical and practical implications of the CH in both set theory and the broader mathematical landscape. In synthesizing these insights, a profound realization emerges: the inherent limitations in establishing the veracity of the Continuum Hypothesis within the confines of ZFC. This poignant revelation beckons deeper introspection into the foundational underpinnings of mathematics, stirring both intrigue and reflection amongst scholars and enthusiasts alike.

Effect of thermal barrier coating on the thermal characteristic of turbine blade and its geometric optimization
Authors: You Huaqing
Published: November 2023

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) and cooling structures are critical factors influencing the performance of aviation turbine blades. In order to investigate the effects of TBC and different cooling structures on the operating temperature and thermal stress of turbine blades, this study establishes a three-dimensional fluid-thermal-solid coupling model for aviation turbine blades. Based on this model, the study analyzes the effect of TBC thicknesses and different design architectures on the blade thermal characters, including temperature distribution and thermal stress analysis. Stress analysis is also conducted on blades with the best heat dissipation performance. The results indicate that as the thickness of the TBC increases, the blade temperature gradually decreases. Cooling channels effectively reduce turbine blade temperatures. It is also found that a reasonable increase in film cooling holes can further reduce blade temperatures. The thermal stress on the blade gradually decreases along the blade height, with the high-stress regions primarily concentrated at the junction between the blade body and the margin plate. The maximum stress is observed at the trailing edge. The conclusions of this study can provide valuable guidance for the design of aviation turbine blades with better thermal performance.

Hausdorff dimension method reduces the error of box counting
Authors: Jin Zhenyu
Published: November 2023

The Hausdorff dimension of an object is a topological measure of the size of its covering properties. To compute the Hausdorff dimension of an object, this report reviews the method of box counting, a method of gathering data for analyzing complex patterns by breaking a dataset, object, image, etc. into smaller and smaller pieces, typically "box"-shaped, and analyzing the pieces at each smaller scale. However, in this process, errors are always generated because of the extreme cases in which boxes are just covered with a small corner of the pattern but still should be counted. As a result, the number of boxes counted becomes larger than usual resulting in inaccurate results. In order to reduce the error in the final result, this report applies an improvement to this method to reduce the errors in the result and provides the example of Koch snowflake, and also examines the effect of the improvement.
