A FPGA Based PI Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller for PEM Fuel Cell with Boost Converter
Authors: Gao Jie , Yang Yuwei , Gu Hai
Published: December 2022

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) is one of the most popular fuel cells for renewable energy production, and this paper presents a DC/DC boost converter structure to improve energy efficiency. To achieve high output power as well as constant output voltage, a combined method consisting of proportional-integral controller and adaptive sliding mode technique is designed. Also, due to the use of adaptive technique, the proposed technique has the ability to cover the effects of uncertainty with an unknown high limit and in addition to improving the quality of output power and voltage of PEM, it eliminates permanent tracking error and guarantees closed loop system stability. To show the operational implementation capability and flexibility of the method, FPGA has been used, which in addition to showing real-time performance, provides the ability to execute the controller at high speeds. Operationality and the possibility of practical implementation of the planned scheme on the existing systems provide the possibility of increasing the efficiency of energy extraction without further investment. The stability of the closed-loop system is achieved using Lyapunov technique and the results of simulation and comparison indicate the optimal performance of the system under the planned scheme and high efficiency in comparison with existing approaches.

Authors: El-Hallag Ibrahim S. , Ghanem Mohamed A. , El-Mossalamy El-Sayed H. , Tartour Ahmed R.
Published: December 2022

The electrochemical quantification of catechol (CC) was performed via cyclic voltammetry (CV), convolution-deconvolution voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at nanostructured mesoporous platinum film electrochemically deposited from a hexagonal liquid crystalline template of C16EO8 surfactant in 1.0 M HClO4.The cyclic voltammograms of catechol produced one oxidative peak in the forward sweep of potential coupled with a reductive peak on the reverse sweep potential. The effect of catechol concentration was examined using the various electrochemical methods mentioned before. The modified platinum electrode exhibits good sensitivity for the determination of catechol compound in 1.0 M HClO4. The best performance was found for i-t curve method developed from cyclic voltammetry of CC. It manifests a linear peak current response over the concentration range of 3 to 50 μM, with a detection limit of 2.11 μM and a quantification limit of 7.04 μM confirming the accuracy and sensitivity of this fast and simple method.

Published: December 2022

This study is on the optimisation of the interface of the p-silicin/indigo camine for electrochemical sensors applications. In this study carried out in cyclic voltammetry, the p-type silicon paste electrode is in contact with the indigo carmine solution at pH=10. The nature of the current in the silicon / aqueous alkaline solution of indigo carmine junction was determined. The cyclic voltammogram is correlated by an affine straight-line, which allows the determination of the capacitance of the junction at a frequency of 50 Hz. Curve C-2=f(E) obtained is not linear. It is of Gaussian form. This form reflects that the ionization of the deep levels of the semiconductor began before the depopulation of the valence band. This study allows to determine the surface potential (Vs=-0,4V) and the flat band potential (VBP=-1,50V). The fermi potential is equal to 1, 50 These results are indications that this interface could not be used as an electrochemical sensor under these conditions.
Understanding Maps after Multimodal Literature: A New Taxonomy
Authors: Mantzaris Thomas
Published: December 2022

The article examines literature’s multifaceted engagement with maps, focusing on twenty-first century Anglophone fiction. Within the framework of multimodality, collective map-based works such as Where You Are and novels such as Bats of the Republic highlight the uncharted potential maps hold for contemporary writing as well as bring to the fore significant, but undertheorized intersections between cartography and literature. Offering a reconsideration of existing taxonomies in light of the rise of multimodal literary texts, the article invites interdisciplinary perspectives that can shed light on the diverse engagements with maps in current and future literary works.
The Use of Verb Tenses in Subordinate Content Clauses in Czech
Authors: Koutová Marta
Published: December 2022

Research on the use of verb tenses in Czech subordinate clauses is based on the notions of absolute and relative tense and on the distinction between content and adjunct clauses. It is generally agreed that absolute tenses are used in adjunct clauses, whereas relative tenses are typically used in content clauses. Based on an analysis from the Czech National Corpus, I will demonstrate that, in addition to the assumed use of tenses and in contrast to their usage in English, there are also variations in their use: in content clauses, even tenses selected from the speaker’s perspective are used in certain cases, and in certain adjunct clauses relative tenses may also be used.

Published: December 2022

Cílem studie je pokusit se nalézt zvukové jevy, které mohou ovlivnit hodnocení míry cizineckého přízvuku u polských mluvčích v češtině. Materiál tvoří vzorky pěti mluvčích mužů s mateřštinou polštinou, z nichž byl sestaven percepční test. Míru cizineckého přízvuku hodnotily dvě skupiny rodilých posluchačů češtiny (z Čech a Ostravska). Na základě výsledků testu a poslechové a akustické analýzy byly určeny jevy, které mohly mít (s různou mírou jistoty) na hodnocení cizineckého přízvuku vliv a které se naopak v hodnocení neodrazily. K cizineckému přízvuku přispívají jak jevy souvislé řeči, tak výslovnost segmentů či jejich kombinatorika.

Published: December 2022

W artykule omówiono zagadnienia ortograficzne i pisowniowe w ankietach do Niemieckiego atlasu językowego zapisanych w latach 80. XIX w. w części środkowej i wschodniej współczesnych Mazur – regionu położonego w północno-wschodniej części Polski. Ankiety zawierają tłumaczenia 40 zdań niemieckich (ułożonych przez bibliotekarza z Marburga Georga Wenkera) na miejscową gwarę. W odniesieniu do pisowni i ortografii w analizowanym materiale uwzględniono m.in. występowanie kreskowanego é, np. lepiéj, Śniég, używanie j na oznaczenie g, np. inaczeg, jagka, nag więczey, w tym jako rezultat asynchronicznej wymowy spółgłosek wargowych miękkich, np. c’ezegenc’, dschischag, dzegenc ‘dziewięć’. Zwrócono uwagę na znaczną różnorodność zapisów samogłoski y, np. y,᷆ ӳ, ỳ, ÿ, ў. Odnotowano przykłady zapisów na sposób niemiecki, np. zapisy z zamiast c: zale zarno ‘całe czarno’, uzuł ‘najwięcej się uczył’; tz zamiast c: motzno, umentzone. Omówione ankiety wyraźnie wskazują na utrzymanie się dawnych polskich tradycji pisowniowych, a z drugiej strony uwidacznia się wpływ ortografii niemieckiej.
Z zagadnień etymologii gwarowej - luskopy
Authors: Kucharczyk Renata
Published: December 2022

The aim of the article is to establish the etymology of a subdialectal word luskopy ‘shoulder yoke for carrying buckets of water. Luskopy functions as an indivisible word but it probably originated from the German compositum. The noticeable parallelism between the names of yokes and harness parts suggests that the first segment of the analysed compound may come from the German Ross ‘horse’. The second part of the compound may be derived from the German Koppel meaning a ‘leather belt’ or a ‘yoke’, or Kappe ‘headgear’.

Zasada fair play jako wsparcie działań profilaktycznych wzmacniających młodzież w kryzysie wartości
Authors: Kowalska Jolanta
Published: December 2022

Due to the deficit of the expected young people’s moral attitudes caused, inter alia, by a crisis of values (considered on the one hand in the context of changes related to the age of adolescence, and on the other hand, to social changes), it is worth to support preventive activities. It can be done thanks to the use of the sports fair play principle as – in the indications of many researchers – a universal principle. It is through its proper observance that we can teach making moral choices – as emphasized by Zofia Żukowska. The humanistic values of sport in the spirit of fair play allow for the development of socially acceptable attitudes. They can be the source of the hierarchy of values of a young person, which will guide them in everyday life situations. The aim of the article is to present the educational potential of sport with the principle of fair play as the basis of Olympism promoted by Pierre de Coubertin, the creator of the modern Olympic Games. This can stimulate the educational reflection of teachers and educators in the context of the possibility of conducting preventive activities in schools, especially today, in the crisis of values that affects young people.

The article indicates that in the presence of various crises of foster care, there is a confusion of the district family support center, institutions not seeing and not hearing the needs of foster families and orphanages. It is emphasized that the reconstruction of the ability to hear problems and see the complex issues of foster care, for the district aid institution to go beyond the horizon of foster care, crises requires the dialogue and the courage to act in the field of social matters. Then, in the conditions of a local community, where the dialogue is practised, the district family support center regains the ability to see and hear the matters of the wounded world. As a result, the district family support center shapes the capacity of communication activities accompanied with the development of the local community. At the same time, this shift towards district local communities inhabitants’ everyday life is expressed in active care for foster care within the framework of dialogue workshops and educational activities. Such an orientation, in a trialectic perspective, in the weave of three dimensions of space  the internal micro-space of the institution, the meso-space of foster care and the macro-social space of the local community – allows the district family support center to transform its activities in the field of social affairs, and experience the recognition of the inhabitants of local communities.
Kontrowersje wokół wykładni prawa – studium przypadku
Authors: Duniewska Zofia
Published: December 2022

The interpretation of the law plays a speciﬁc role in the whole legal system. In the vast area of constantly changing provisions of administrative law, with all their numerous imperfections, this interpretation takes on particular importance. An interpretative decision may be a simple reﬂection of a provision’s content, or it may take a slightly different form determined as a result of decoding it in the process of interpretation. The interpreter of the law must be guided by the requirements of the law, and achievements of the general theory of law, it must be based on rational grounds that allow for a reasonable and fair balance of arguments that are important in each case. It is primarily the letter of the law, the place of regulation in the legal system and the functions and purposes assigned to the interpreted provisions that determine the result of the interpretation. In the process of applying the law, this result determines the content of a decision taken. It has a signiﬁcant inﬂuence on the position of the individual bound by such a decision, also in situations where this decision may cause justiﬁable apprehensions about its fairness. The interpretation of the law ordinarily focuses on resolving doubts against the background of speciﬁc cases under consideration. The article presents such a situation. I describe controversies relating to the interpretation of one of the provisions formulating the conditions that must be met by a person applying for the title of professor. In this case, it is a matter of the conditions for achievements obtained by her in training academic staff. The assumption that these conditions had not been cumulatively met affected a decision of the Central Commission for Degrees and Titles to refuse the presentation of the candidate to the President of the Republic of Poland for conferral of this title. But is there always a legal justiﬁcation for challenging the fulﬁlment of these conditions? I will try to answer this question in this paper.

The path planning of collision avoidance for an unmanned ship navigating in waterways based on an artificial neural network
Authors: Wang Renqiang , Miao Keyin , Li Qinrong , Sun Jianming , Deng Hua
Published: December 2022

Designing a safe, collision-free navigation route is critical for unmanned ships. This article applies the path planning method to the generation of collision avoidance paths for unmanned ships. Since the path length function is obtained from the distribution points constructed in space, it is necessary to transfer the safe domain of the unmanned ship to the obstacle, treating the unmanned ship as a particle. Then, the constructed artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to compute the collision penalty function for distribution points and obstacles. Furthermore, an evaluation function including the path length function and collision penalty function is designed, and the optimal path is obtained by computing the minimum value of the evaluation function. Meanwhile, the simulated annealing method is introduced to optimize the activation function of the output layer of the ANN to improve its classification performance and suppress the local minima problem. Finally, the application of ANN in ship autonomous dynamic collision avoidance path planning is demonstrated in two types of experiments. Among them, when avoiding static obstacles, the minimum safe passing distance between the two ships reaches 30 m; when avoiding dynamic obstacles (navigating ships), the minimum safe passing distances between the two ships in the head-on situation and the overtaking situation are 378 and 430 m, respectively.

In Chinese mortuary research, too much reliance on traditional qualitative typological analysis renders quantitative attributes of mortuary practice data ignored. Examining the Taosi cemetery one of the famous cemeteries of Neolithic China (2300–1900 BC), this study discusses the advantages and disadvantages of typology and digital methods. Extant qualitative research has classified the Taosi burials into six vertical categories, representing a pyramidal social hierarchy. However, this approach solely relied on the labor expenditure principle, whose outcome was highly subjective and difficult to verify. This study applies a multivariant analysis. Factor analysis is used to investigate the correlations within the mortuary data. The statistical factor scores quantify the differences between the combination of burial objects in different tombs and allow clarification by cluster analysis to investigate their different social meanings. The results reveal two-axial divisions in the Taosi cemetery: vertical stratification based on hierarchy and horizontal differentiation based on social categories/identities. Compared with the simplistic typological description, such a quantitative method reveals the characteristics of each category more clearly, clarifies the classification criteria, and extracts more detailed information about the society and its mortuary practices.

Long-term memory formation requires anterograde transport of proteins from the soma of a neuron to its distal synaptic terminals. This allows new synaptic connections to be grown and existing ones remodeled. However, we do not yet know which proteins are transported to synapses in response to activity and temporal regulation. Here, using quantitative mass spectrometry, we have profiled anterograde protein cargos of a learning-regulated molecular motor protein kinesin [Aplysiakinesin heavy chain 1 (ApKHC1)] following short-term sensitization (STS) and long-term sensitization (LTS) inAplysia californica. Our results reveal enrichment of specific proteins associated with ApKHC1 following both STS and LTS, as well as temporal changes within 1 and 3 h of LTS training. A significant number of proteins enriched in the ApKHC1 complex participate in synaptic function, and, while some are ubiquitously enriched across training conditions, a few are enriched in response to specific training. For instance, factors aiding new synapse formation, such as synaptotagmin-1, dynamin-1, and calmodulin, are differentially enriched in anterograde complexes 1 h after LTS but are depleted 3 h after LTS. Proteins including gelsolin-like protein 2 and sec23A/sec24A, which function in actin filament stabilization and vesicle transport, respectively, are enriched in cargos 3 h after LTS. These results establish that the composition of anterograde transport complexes undergo experience-dependent specific changes and illuminate dynamic changes in the communication between soma and synapse during learning.
The Specter of Deglobalization
Authors: Paul T. V.
Published: December 2022

The post-Cold War era witnessed intense globalization, evident in expanding links between countries in economic, technological, demographic, and cultural areas. Today there is increasing fear that globalization is being replaced by rising nationalism, protectionism, territorial aggrandizement, and a new form of Cold War marked by contestation over great power spheres of influence. Although many tendencies to deglobalization are present, they have not yet brought about a complete breakdown of the globalization process, and the power of antiglobalization forces may be overstated. Parallel trends suggest that a form of “truncated globalization” may be emerging, even as antiglobalization backlashes continue in some domains.

Synthesized Socialism: Soviet Modernity and the Politics of Timbre in the Cold War
Authors: Cornish Gabrielle
Published: December 2022

In this article, I show that contrary to enduring Cold War binaries between Western experimentalism and Soviet socialist realism, the Soviet government strategically deployed electronic music to bolster its image as a modern, forward-looking nation during the early Cold War. Drawing on previously unseen archival sources, oral history interviews, and organological methods, I argue that the Soviet government cultivated a specific politics of timbre through the creation of state-sponsored electronic musical instruments and ensembles. I begin by examining a 1955 order from the Ministry of Culture, by which engineers and inventors were tasked with building electronic instruments that sounded “modern.” I then follow the development of the Ekvodin, a multivoice synthesizer with a keyboard for easy performance, which the Ministry of Culture heralded as the future of Soviet music. Using the Ekvodin as a case study reveals both the sonic and the ideological values at play in the design of electronic musical instruments. I also explore two “misfires” in Soviet electronic music: the invention of the Il’ston synthesizer and Alfred Schnittke’s Poem about Space. Finally, I analyze the reception of the Ekvodin and the All-Union Radio and Television’s Ensemble of Electromusical Instruments to highlight the ideological debates over how best to “sound modern” in global networks of musical creation. In doing so, the article invites a broad reconsideration of musical aesthetics and politics in the Cold War.
Heroic Narratives and Chopin's Polonaise in Ab Major, Op. 53
Authors: Wei Lim Cheng
Published: December 2022

Fryderyk Chopin's Polonaise in Ab Major, op. 53, is widely known as the “Heroic.” It's tempting to dismiss this seemingly generic title, which was not Chopin's. But what can notions of a “heroic polonaise,” taken from nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century contexts, do for our current understanding of the piece? The appellation evokes a constellation of distinct cultural contexts, such as nostalgia, nationalism, Polish messianism, the medieval revival in the arts, and ideas of the artist as a prophetic hero. Not only do these contexts come together and interact in the then pervasive cultural narrative of Poland's fall and eventual rebirth, but they also color the mythicized reception accorded to Chopin and his music. Taken collectively, these contexts help to shape the amorphous concept of heroicness. So, I deploy topic theory and narratology in a close reading of the piece in order to reconcile these contexts with this polonaise's putative heroic qualities. As a topic, the polonaise takes the form of several types throughout the piece, each with its own affective connotations and temporal associations, and this fluidity of topical references muddles a straightforward apprehension of the piece's heroicness. Combining the topical dimension with an examination of the tonal and formal logic of the piece, I demonstrate how the piece might be re-interpreted in light of the previously mentioned narrative of Poland's fall and resurrection. Moreover, the piece's specificities interact with certain theoretical issues related to musical meaning, such as music's capacity to denote temporalities distinct from its unfolding. That said, my turn to the historical contexts for the piece's heroicness is meant to open up rather than to pin down musical meaning. A comparison between my interpretation and a nineteenth-century one by a Polish musician illustrates how the same interpretative framework yields diverse readings, while a survey of a few works of art that draw on op. 53, each with their own framing contexts, shows how op. 53's heroicness has been understood anew across time and cultures.
Endless Self: Haydn, Cherubini, and the Sound of the Canon
Authors: Morabito Fabio
Published: December 2022

This article takes as its starting point the little-noted attempt of the composer Luigi Cherubini to become the new Esterházy Kapellmeister following Joseph Haydn's death. I use the episode as a prompt for a broad reconsideration of Haydn's reputation in the 1790s–1800s, and of what it meant to follow in such footsteps. Rather than just a matter of capitalizing on the celebrity of a widely respected composer, I discuss Haydn's image and legacy as entailing a god-like aura of immortality, which he shared with personalities such as Washington, Nelson, or Peter the Great of Russia, all hailed for abilities that transcended known standards and inspired multitudes. This turn-of-the-century cult of greatness centered, in Haydn's case, on what seemed an unlimited number of symphonies and unlimited variety of orchestral effects in his oratorios The Creation and The Seasons. Haydn's ceaseless creative vein was a spectacle in itself. It evoked the same sublime, overpowering feeling that Kant described in facing things too vast to be grasped, such as the number of stars in the universe or God's eternity. Remaining in awe of a sublime subject like Haydn brought masses of people together in the aesthetic experience of someone immeasurable, thus immeasurably above them. Sounds that signified to this kind of collective deferential behavior had, I argue, a key role in canon formation across genres (symphonies, masses, operatic overtures, occasional pieces etc.), one often overlooked in scholarship prioritizing genre-inspired purviews. Cherubini, Beethoven, and many others were keen to receive “from Haydn's hands” the gift of invoking a mass audience, even well beyond their death, prompting the communal, attentive and on-repeat listening that reveres great composers, generation after generation.

Proper stamen filament elongation is essential for pollination and plant reproduction. Plant hormones are extensively involved in every stage of stamen development; however, the cellular mechanisms by which phytohormone signals couple with microtubule dynamics to control filament elongation remain unclear. Here, we screened a series of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants showing different microtubule defects and revealed that only those unable to sever microtubules, lue1 and ktn80.1234, displayed differential floral organ elongation with less elongated stamen filaments. Prompted by short stamen filaments and severe decrease in KTN1 and KTN80s expression in qui‐2 lacking five BZR1‐family transcription factors (BFTFs), we investigated the crosstalk between microtubule severing and brassinosteroid (BR) signaling. The BFTFs transcriptionally activate katanin‐encoding genes, and the microtubule‐severing frequency was severely reduced in qui‐2. Taken together, our findings reveal how BRs can regulate cytoskeletal dynamics to coordinate the proper development of reproductive organs.

All multicellular life relies on differential gene expression, determined by regulatory DNA elements and DNA‐binding transcription factors that mediate activation and repression via cofactor recruitment. While activators have been extensively characterized, repressors are less well studied: the identities and properties of their repressive domains (RDs) are typically unknown and the specific co‐repressors (CoRs) they recruit have not been determined. Here, we develop a high‐throughput, next‐generation sequencing‐based screening method, repressive‐domain (RD)‐seq, to systematically identify RDs in complex DNA‐fragment libraries. Screening more than 200,000 fragments covering the coding sequences of all transcription‐related proteins in Drosophila melanogaster, we identify 195 RDs in known repressors and in proteins not previously associated with repression. Many RDs contain recurrent short peptide motifs, which are conserved between fly and human and are required for RD function, as demonstrated by motif mutagenesis. Moreover, we show that RDs that contain one of five distinct repressive motifs interact with and depend on different CoRs, such as Groucho, CtBP, Sin3A, or Smrter. These findings advance our understanding of repressors, their sequences, and the functional impact of sequence‐altering mutations and should provide a valuable resource for further studies.
