Authors: Radzi Ismail  , Khoo Terh Jing  , Ha Chin Yee  , Mohd Wira Mohd Shafiei  , Wang Dan
Published: November 2023

The awareness level of residents to prevent crime is increasing while the characteristics of the physical environment and atmosphere within the residential areas have been utilized to discourage crime. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) as an effective crime prevention strategy has been introduced since 1971 where it evolved from the first-generation to second-generation after including intangible components into the practices. Currently, the emergence of digital technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) has started to gain more attention from academicians and practitioners. The features in BIM such as simulation, visualizing and estimating should be utilized to enhance CPTED effectiveness in preventing crime which will form the fundamental of third-generation CPTED. This study intended to explore the potential to integrate BIM into existing CPTED to develop a third-generation of CPTED. Therefore, this study has reviewed the journal articles pertinent to the BIM application in CPTED which elaborate the potential of BIM to be used practically to provide new concept of third-generation CPTED which embracing digital technology. This study found the potential of BIM to integrate with four tangible principles (surveillance, access control, territoriality and target hardening) and two intangible principles (sense of community, and management and maintenance) have been discussed. All existing principles can be integrated with BIM to further enhance their effectiveness but there are some conflicts found between the principles practiced in CPTED. This study has provided a comprehensive overview of the integration of BIM to CPTED practitioners for the development of third-generation CPTED in future research.

Published: November 2023

The present research investigated the characteristics of combined convective blood flow carrying copper and magnetite nanoparticles over a shrinking sheet, modelled as Williamson hybrid ferrofluid. The mathematical model is converted to similarity equations by suitable transformations. The similarity equations are then solved using the bvp4c function. The characteristics and effects of Williamson and combined convective transport parameter, as well as the nanoparticle volume fraction in the Williamson hybrid ferrofluid towards the temperature profiles, velocity profiles as well as the Nusselt number and the skin friction coefficient are analyzed and discussed. Outcomes reveal the increment in Williamson parameter suppress the heat transfer performance of the fluid but not for the combined convective transport parameter. Meanwhile the heat transfer performance is also improved as concentration of copper is increased.

Authors: Ma Hui , Wu Zhiyuan , Zeng Jin , Wang Weiwei , Wang Hongji , Guan Hong , Zhang Wenming
Published: November 2023

As one of the most important parts in the engine, the structure and state of the rotating blade directly affect the normal performance of the aero engine. In order to monitor engine crack failure and ensure flight safety, it is necessary to carry out research on the dynamic modeling of the cracked blade and breathing crack induced vibration mechanisms. This paper summarizes the current research status on the dynamics of cracked blade and the related topics mainly include four aspects: crack propagation path, mechanical model of open and breathing cracks, dynamic modeling methods of cracked blades such as lumped mass model, semi-analytical model and finite element model, and dynamic characteristics of cracked blades. The review will provide valuable references for future studies on dynamics and fault diagnosis of cracked blade in aero engine.

The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely experienced minimal dynamical disruptions, the spin–orbit orientations of these systems inform the typical outcomes of quiescent planet formation, as well as the primordial stellar obliquity distribution. However, few measurements have been made to constrain the spin–orbit orientations of near-resonant systems. We present a Rossiter–McLaughlin measurement of the near-resonant warm Jupiter TOI-2202 b, obtained using the Carnegie Planet Finder Spectrograph on the 6.5 m Magellan Clay Telescope. This is the eighth result from the Stellar Obliquities in Long-period Exoplanet Systems survey. We derive a sky-projected 2D spin–orbit angle

, finding that TOI-2202 b—the most massive near-resonant exoplanet with a 3D spin–orbit constraint to date—likely deviates from exact alignment with the host star’s equator. Incorporating the full census of spin–orbit measurements for near-resonant systems, we demonstrate that the current set of near-resonant systems with period ratios P

1 ≲ 4 is generally consistent with a quiescent formation pathway, with some room for low-level (≲20°) protoplanetary disk misalignments or post-disk-dispersal spin–orbit excitation. Our result constitutes the first population-wide analysis of spin–orbit geometries for near-resonant planetary systems.
A Comparison of Particle-in-cell and Hybrid Simulations of the Heliospheric Termination Shock
Authors: Swisdak M. , Giacalone J. , Drake J. F. , Opher M. , Zank G. P. , Zieger B.
Published: November 2023

We compare hybrid (kinetic proton, fluid electron) and particle-in-cell (kinetic proton, kinetic electron) simulations of the solar wind termination shock with parameters similar to those observed by Voyager 2 during its crossing. The steady-state results show excellent agreement between the downstream variations in the density, plasma velocity, and magnetic field. The quasi-perpendicular shock accelerates interstellar pickup ions to a maximum energy limited by the size of the computational domain, with somewhat higher fluxes and maximal energies observed in the particle-in-cell simulation, likely due to differences in the cross-shock electric field arising from electron kinetic-scale effects. The higher fluxes may help address recent discrepancies noted between observations and large-scale hybrid simulations.
Bridging the Gap between Cosmic Dawn and Reionization Favors Models Dominated by Faint Galaxies
Authors: Bera Ankita , Hassan Sultan , Smith Aaron , Cen Renyue , Garaldi Enrico , Kannan Rahul , Vogelsberger Mark
Published: November 2023

It has been claimed that traditional models struggle to explain the tentative detection of the 21 cm absorption trough centered at z ∼ 17 measured by the EDGES collaboration. On the other hand, it has been shown that the EDGES results are consistent with an extrapolation of a declining UV luminosity density, following a simple power law of deep Hubble Space Telescope observations of 4 < z < 9 galaxies. We here explore the conditions by which the EDGES detection is consistent with current reionization and post-reionization observations, including the neutral hydrogen fraction at z ∼ 6–8, Thomson-scattering optical depth, and ionizing emissivity at z ∼ 5. By coupling a physically motivated source model derived from radiative transfer hydrodynamic simulations of reionization to a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler, we find that it is entirely possible to reconcile existing high-redshift (cosmic dawn) and low-redshift (reionization) constraints. In particular, we find that high contributions from low-mass halos along with high photon escape fractions are required to simultaneously reproduce cosmic dawn and reionization constraints. Our analysis further confirms that low-mass galaxies produce a flatter emissivity evolution, which leads to an earlier onset of reionization with a gradual and longer duration, resulting in a higher optical depth. While the models dominated by faint galaxies successfully reproduce the measured globally averaged quantities over the first one billion years, they underestimate the late redshift-instantaneous measurements in efficiently star-forming and massive systems. We show that our (simple) physically motivated semianalytical prescription produces results that are consistent with the (sophisticated) state-of-the-art THESAN radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the reionization.
On the Lifetime of Molecular Clouds with the “Tuning-fork” Analysis
Authors: Koda Jin , Tan Jonathan C.
Published: November 2023

The “tuning-fork” (TF) analysis of CO and Hα emission has been used to estimate the lifetimes of molecular clouds in nearby galaxies. With simple model calculations, we show that this analysis does not necessarily estimate cloud lifetimes, but instead captures a duration of the cloud evolutionary cycle, from dormant to star-forming, and then back to a dormant phase. We adopt a hypothetical setup in which molecular clouds (e.g., traced in CO) live forever and form stars (e.g., H ii regions) at some frequency, which then drift away from the clouds. The TF analysis still returns a timescale for the immortal clouds. This model requires drifting motion to separate the newborn stars from the clouds, and we discuss its origin. We also discuss the physical origin of the characteristic spatial separation term in the TF analysis and a bias due to systematic error in the determination of the reference timescale.
Material Properties of Saturn’s Interior from Ab Initio Simulations
Authors: Preising Martin , French Martin , Mankovich Christopher , Soubiran François , Redmer Ronald
Published: November 2023

We investigate the material properties of a mixture of hydrogen, helium, and oxygen representative of Saturn’s interior at pressure–temperature conditions of a recent Saturn model (see Mankovich & Fortney) with molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory. Their model considers the demixing of hydrogen and helium and predicts a He-rich layer above a diluted core. We calculate the thermodynamic and transport properties and discuss the impact on Saturn’s evolution and interior structure. We find a significant impact of the He-rich layer on the specific heat capacity, speed of sound, viscosity, diffusion coefficients, thermal and electrical conductivity, Lorenz number, and magnetic and thermal diffusivities.
A Theoretical Study of Temperature-dependent Photodissociation Cross Sections and Rates for O2
Authors: Qin Zhi , Hu Peigen , Bai Tianrui , Liu Linhua
Published: November 2023

The photodissociation of O2 is thought to play a vital role in blocking UV radiation in the Earth’s atmosphere and likely has great importance in characterizing exoplanetary atmospheres. This work considers four photodissociation processes of O2 associated with its four electronic states, whose potential energy curves and transition dipole moments are calculated at the icMRCI+Q/aug-cc-pwCV5Z-DK level of theory. The quantum-mechanical approach is used to compute the state-resolved cross sections for two triplet transitions from the ground X

Vers l’Anthropocène par les chemins d’une éducation philosophique : être au monde, habiter, disparaître
Authors: Nal Emmanuel
Published: November 2023

Si le monde est entré en Anthropocène, l’humanité ne semble pas encore percevoir pleinement les changements de paradigmes qu’il devient urgent d’envisager. Pour se familiariser avec les enjeux d’une écocitoyenneté qui va devoir s’inventer et inaugurer de nouvelles pratiques, cet article propose un parcours philosophique autour de trois problématiques, et de montrer comment se pose le problème de l’homme dans le monde, et comment un « habiter » s’envisage selon une éthique qui encourage un imaginaire créatif. Il n’évite pas l’idée de la disparition d’un certain monde comme condition d’une poursuite de l’histoire et tente à travers ces différentes pistes de faciliter une approche pédagogique de l’Anthropocène, en s’appuyant sur des références classiques de l’enseignement philosophique, actualisées par ces nouveaux enjeux.
Réfléchir la sexualité dans une approche cinéphilosophique au lycée. L’exemple de Spartacus de Kubrick
Authors: David Rémy
Published: November 2023

Comment oser penser la sexualité avec et pour les élèves au lycée ? Cet objet interdit de l’enseignement constitue pourtant un enjeu majeur du devenir adulte, que l’on apprend toutefois si peu à réfléchir. Peut-on légitimement transgresser ce tabou pour contribuer à construire une éducation à la sexualité ? L’intime peut-il faire l’objet d’une réflexion commune qui le figure, le problématise et le conceptualise, afin de pouvoir s’émanciper et construire un rapport éthico-politique à cette dimension de l’expérience ? La démarche du cinéphilosopher permet d’autoriser une problématisation des affects liés notamment à la sexualité. Nous proposons l’étude d’une telle démarche au travers du film Spartacus de Kubrick. Si le film se centre sur des processus d’émancipation sociale, normative et intellectuelle, il questionne bon nombre d’ambivalences liées à la sexualité. Il interroge les liens de la sexualité au regard, à la domination, à certaines normes (l’homosexualité notamment). Un partage du sensible est ainsi rendu possible qui ouvre l’espace de réflexion collectif. S’autoriser à philosopher des expériences affectives aussi structurantes que la sexualité permet de tisser une forme de rationalité affective, qui fait tant défaut dans notre enseignement.
Les métamorphoses du drapeau national en Inde
Authors: Virmani Arundhati
Published: November 2023

Les approches socio-culturelles et anthropologiques de la politique ont ravivé l’intérêt pour les symboles nationaux. À travers ce prisme, le drapeau national de l’Inde se révèle un outil clé dans l’élaboration d’une culture démocratique, à l’époque coloniale, nourrie des luttes sur le terrain et les circulations de modèles provenant d’un paysage international. La mise en place progressive des rituels publics et privés crée un régime émotionnel et jette les bases d’une communauté de sentiments à l’échelle nationale, déterminante pour consolider les idéaux démocratiques après l’indépendance. La libéralisation récente des usages du drapeau l’a transformé en un bien commun mobilisé aussi bien par l’ é tat que par les mouvements de contestation.

Ce succès, lié à une amnésie concernant son histoire, interroge : pourquoi de petits arrangements avec le passé sont-ils nécessaires à la réappropriation du drapeau breton ? Exclusivement porté par des militants de plus en plus radicaux, le drapeau, associé à la collaboration, est rejeté après-guerre, avant d’être arboré par les bagadou et cercles celtiques. Il est à présent adopté par les particuliers, les festivaliers, les sportifs et leur public, les entrepreneurs et commerçants, les politiques, chacun y trouvant un intérêt.
Characterizations of normal cancellative monoids
Authors: Chen Hui
Published: November 2023

Normal cancellative monoids were introduced to explore the general structure of cancellative monoids, which are innovative and open up new possibilities. Specifically, we pointed out that the Green's relations in a cancellative monoid $ S $ are determined by its unitary subgroup $ U $ to a great extent. The specific composition of egg boxes in $ S $, derived from the general semigroup theory, can be settled by the subgroups of $ U $. We call a cancellative monoid normal when these subgroups are normal and characterize it as an NCM-system. This NCM-system was created in this article and can be obtained by combining a group and a condensed cancellative monoid. Furthermore, we introduced the concept of torsion extension and proved that a special kind of normal cancellative monoids can be constructed delicately by the outer automorphism groups of given groups and some simplified cancellative monoids.
Cierre de una ataguía en Box Canyon
Authors: Whitaker Ralph
Published: November 2023

Para la construcción de la presa de Box Canyon (Washington), se derivaron las aguas del Pend Oreille a través de una galería. Como las aguas de este río, de mucho caudal, son profundas y discurren por un estrecho cañón, que dificulta la construcción de una ataguía, hubo necesidad de empezar los trabajos por la de aguas abajo, para luego construir la de aguas arriba con menos dificultad en las aguas remansadas por la primera. La ataguía de aguas abajo debía elevar el nivel del agua por encima de la galería de derivación, para, a continuación, construir, entre esta toma y la ataguía anterior, la de aguas arriba. En este trabajo se describen los procedimientos seguidos en la construcción de la primera ataguía.

Research goes digital: A challenge for genre analysis?
Authors: Rowley-Jolivet Elizabeth , Carter-Thomas Shirley
Published: November 2023

Over the past thirty years, there has been a massive change in research practices, with a great deal of research now being conducted and disseminated in the digital medium. This movement has been accompanied by a corresponding surge in the number of digital genres in which researchers can share and discuss research, both with peers and an interested public. The objective of this article is to identify some of the challenges that the online dissemination and production of research may pose for genre theory. After first reviewing the criteria traditionally used to define genres in English for Specific Purposes, Systemic Functional Linguistics and Rhetorical Genre Studies, we focus on three central aspects of the digital medium that impact research genres: multimodality and hypertextuality, audience and identity, collaboration and interactivity. We discuss to what extent existing genre analysis can accommodate digital genres or whether new criteria are needed.
ASp, 30 ans après : contribution à un état des lieux de la recherche française en anglais de spécialité
Authors: Gaillard Mathilde , Labetoulle Aude
Published: November 2023

L’objet de cette étude consiste à dresser un panorama des évolutions de la recherche française en anglais de spécialité (ASP) telle qu’elle se présente dans ASp, la revue scientifique du Groupe d’étude et de recherche en anglais de spécialité (GERAS). Elle se fonde sur un corpus de 544 articles et actes de recherche publiés dans la revue entre sa création en 1993 et mars 2022. L’hypothèse suivante est explorée : l’anglais de spécialité en France se caractériserait par différentes phases, identifiables en termes d’objets d’étude, d’approches et de cadres d’analyse. Une grille d’analyse adaptée au champ francophone est proposée. Après un bref panorama général de la revue, trois phases sont identifiées. Nous postulons que ces phases reflètent une structuration du champ de l’ASP centrée sur une caractérisation du spécialisé, de ses conditions d’émergence à ses manifestations dans le discours et à ses potentielles applications pédagogiques. Une comparaison avec les travaux récents sur le champ anglophone montre que l’approche française s’en distingue progressivement pour se diriger vers l’élaboration de cadres d’analyse qui lui sont propres.

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions experienced worldwide. As such, there is significant investment into the treatment of this disorder and to alleviate the effects it has on the individual. While various interventions exist, such as pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions, more is needed to combat the growing scope of anxiety. This chapter presents empirical evidence for combining two effective treatments: psychotherapy and physical exercise. It also suggests some practical ways in which this can be integrated in healthcare systems. Additional recommendations are provided to facilitate this integration of this combined treatment for both consumers and healthcare professionals.
Empowering Language
Authors: Efthymiou Efthymia
Published: November 2023

Language disorders, spanning challenges in comprehension, expression, and development, cast a profound influence on various aspects of students' educational experiences, affecting academic achievement, social interactions, and overall learning trajectories. This chapter delves into the complexities of language disorders, untangling their diverse manifestations, which include expressive, receptive, and mixed receptive-expressive language disorders. The implications ripple across academic domains, erecting barriers to reading, writing, and comprehension. Moreover, the socio-emotional domain is intertwined with these challenges, fostering isolation, self-doubt, and hindered communication. This comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted impacts of language disorders becomes the foundation upon which truly inclusive educational environments are forged. Guided by ethical imperatives and a commitment to equity, this chapter explores the potential of assistive intelligence technologies as a catalyst within inclusive education.
Using the Language Environment Analysis (LENA) System to Investigate Language Input in Greek Speaking Children
Authors: Binos Paris , Taxitari Loukia
Published: November 2023

This study sought to assess the effectiveness of the language environment analysis integrating wearable audio recording with automated voice analysis, within the context of Greek-speaking families, aiming to discern evolving patterns of child-directed speech in typically developing children. Audio data from children aged 6-46 months were recorded during home interactions. The LENA Pro software calculates parameters like conversational turn count, child vocalizations, and adult word count. The findings underscored a pronounced duration of silence-background noise and distant sounds. Strong correlations also emerged between parental linguistic input, adult-child conversational exchanges, child vocalizations, and meaningful interactions between children and adults. An inverse association between electronic device engagement and child vocalizations was also observed. LENA demonstrates its power in effectively mapping non-English linguistic environments, such as Greek, offering invaluable insights to stakeholders on refining language inputs for optimal language development.

This article presents a non-linear multi-objective optimization model with four different objectives for manual rice seed harvesting, aiming to ensure members' fairness and mutual benefits for a group of rice field owners responsible for seed planting and a group of workers tasked with harvesting rice seeds. The harvesting plan primarily focuses on minimizing the average injury risk to workers and secondarily balances this risk among workers. Simultaneously, the model seeks to minimize and equitably allocate wage costs for rice field owners. Worker characteristics, including age, gender, and body mass index are considered to influence injury risk differentially. The optimal solution involves rotating workers to different rice stalk types in several fields, all within appropriate work and rest periods. This approach serves to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and fatigue among the workers while helping rice field owners reduce their costs. This collaborative planning has the potential to enhance sustainability within the farming community.
Low Muscle Strength as Risk Factor for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Different Metabolic Conditions
Authors: Rho Hye-Sun , Choi Whan-Seok
Published: November 2023

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) recently became a leading liver disease that threatens health worldwide. Low muscle strength, obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome are recognized key factors for NAFLD. However, the impact of low muscle strength itself in different metabolic conditions has not been widely studied.Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed of a sample of 5,427 participants from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Relative handgrip strength (rHGS, defined as handgrip strength/body mass index) was used to assess muscle strength. The cut-off values for a low rHGS were 1.405 for men and 0.850 for women. NAFLD was diagnosed if the Hepatic Steatosis Index was >36. Participants were stratified according to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and central obesity for the subgroup analyses.Results: Complex sample multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between low muscle strength and NAFLD after the adjustment for other confounders (odds ratio [OR], 1.92; P<0.001). In the insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and central obesity subgroups, a significant association between low muscle strength and NAFLD remained (OR, 1.66–4.19 depending on subgroup; all P<0.05), whereas it did not in the no central obesity group.Conclusion: This study demonstrated that low muscle strength is correlated with a risk of NAFLD. This relationship was independent of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome but was dependent on the presence of central obesity.
Visual Disruption and Neuromechanics During Landing-Cutting in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability
Authors: Lee Hyunwook , Han Seunguk , Hopkins J. Ty
Published: November 2023

Context

Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrate altered movement patterns when their vision is disturbed during simple tasks, such as single-legged standing and walking. However, it remains unclear whether visual disruption by stroboscopic glasses alters movement patterns during landing-cutting movements, considered highly demanding sport maneuvers that mimic a typical athletic movement.

Objectives

To identify altered lower extremity kinematics and muscle activation when vision is disrupted by stroboscopic glasses during landing-cutting tasks in individuals with CAI.

Design

Case-control study.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 18 individuals with CAI (age = 22.3 ± 2.3 years, height = 1.75 ± 0.1 m, mass = 72.5 ± 9.8 kg) and 18 matched healthy controls (age = 21.7 ± 2.3 years, height = 1.75 ± 0.1 m, mass = 71.9 ± 10.3 kg).

Intervention(s)

All participants performed 5 trials of a landing-cutting task with (SV) and without (NSV) stroboscopic glasses.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Frontal- and sagittal-plane lower extremity kinematics and 6 lower extremity muscle activations during the stance phase of a landing-cutting task in the SV and NSV conditions.

Results

Individuals with CAI demonstrated more ankle-inversion angle from 18% to 22% and from 60% to 100% of the stance phase and more peroneus longus activation from initial contact to 18% of the stance phase under the SV condition than under the NSV condition. We observed no differences in knee- and hip-joint angles between the visual conditions for both groups.

Conclusions

When wearing stroboscopic glasses, individuals with CAI showed altered movement patterns, including increased ankle-inversion angle and peroneus longus activation during the stance phase of a landing-cutting task. The results suggest that they may lack the ability to reweight sensory information to adapt their movement to visual disruption.
Linear homeomorphisms of function spaces and the position of a space in its compactification
Authors: Krupski Mikołaj
Published: November 2023

An old question of Arhangel’skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space X is preserved by homeomorphisms of the space
$C_p(X)$
of continuous real-valued functions on X endowed with the pointwise topology. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we develop a method of studying invariants of linear homeomorphisms of function spaces
$C_p(X)$
by looking at the way X is positioned in its (Čech–Stone) compactification.

Remarks on Naimark dilation theorem
Authors: Kużel Sergiusz
Published: November 2023

Although Naimark dilation theorem was originally stated in 1940, it still finds many important applications in various areas. The objective of this paper is to introduce a method for explicitly constructing the vectors of complementary frames in the Naimark dilation theorem, specifically in cases where the initial Parseval frame contains a Riesz basis as a subset. These findings serve as a foundation for the construction of dual frames.
Implementation and effectiveness of a delirium care protocol in Thai critically ill children
Authors: Chaiyakulsil Chanapai , Thadahirunchot Thananya
Published: November 2023

Background: Delirium in critically ill children can result in long-term morbidity. Our main objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness of a new protocol on the reduction, prevalence, and duration of delirium and to identify associated risk factors.Methods: The effectiveness of the protocol was evaluated by a chart review in all critically ill children aged 1 month to 15 years during the study period. A Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium score ≥9 was considered positive for delirium. Data on delirium prevalence and duration from the pre-implementation and post-implementation phases were compared. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the risk factors of delirium.Results: A total of 120 children was analyzed (58 children in the pre-implementation group and 62 children in the post-implementation group). Fifty children (41.7%) screened positive for delirium. Age less than 2 years, delayed development, use of mechanical ventilation, and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay >7 days were significantly associated with delirium. The proportion of children screened positive was not significantly different after the implementation (before, 39.7% vs. after, 43.5%; P=0.713). Subgroup analyses revealed a significant reduction in the duration of delirium in children with admission diagnosis of cardiovascular problems and after cardiothoracic surgery.Conclusions: The newly implemented protocol was able to reduce the duration of delirium in children with admission diagnosis of cardiovascular problems and after cardiothoracic surgery. More studies should be conducted to reduce delirium to prevent long-term morbidity after PICU discharge.
Research on the Secondary Motion of Engine Piston Considering the
Transport of Lubricating Oil
Authors: Liu Jihai , Sun Jun
Published: November 2023

At present, it is generally considered in the analysis of the secondary motion of
engine piston that the piston skirt–cylinder liner friction pair is fully
lubricated in an engine operating cycle. However, in practice, when the piston
moves upward, the amount of lubricating oil at the inlet may not ensure that the
friction pair is fully lubricated. In this article, the secondary motion of
piston is studied when the transport of lubricating oil is considered to
determine the lubrication condition of piston skirt–cylinder liner friction
pair. The secondary motion of piston is solved based on the combined piston
motion model, hydrodynamic lubrication model, asperity contact model, and
lubricating oil flow model. The secondary motion equation of piston is solved by
the Broyden method. The hydrodynamic lubrication equation is solved by the
finite difference method. The asperity contact between piston skirt and cylinder
liner is calculated by the Greenwood model. The flow of lubricating oil is
analyzed based on the theory of fluid mechanics. The results indicate that, when
the actual transport of lubricating oil is considered to determine the
lubrication condition of piston skirt–cylinder liner friction pair, the
secondary motion of piston is remarkably different from that in which the
flooded lubrication is assumed in an engine operating cycle. Therefore, it is
helpful to improve the accuracy and make the analysis closer to the actual
engine operating situation that the transport of lubricating oil is considered
in the analysis of the secondary motion of engine piston.

Parallelism of Prehistoric Lanzarote (Canary Islands) Quesera/Cheeseboard Lunisolar Calendar and intriguing strip band channels of the City of David archaeological site (Middle East)
Authors: Arnaiz-Villena Antonio , Medina Marcial , Vaquero-Yuste Christian , Suarez-Sanchez Carlos , Juarez Ignacio , Suarez-Trujillo Fabio
Published: November 2023

It has recently been discovered and widespread in worldwide media that a puzzling and unusual channel structures have appeared at the City of David archaeological site in Middle East (Al Quds - Jerusalem). No function has been agreed for them and their building age has been calculated in an uncertain time before 2800 years BC when these structures ceased to be used. We have been working in Lanzarote Island (Canary Islands) rock epigraphy and other archaeological matters in the last 20 years, and we have found that the structure of “Quesera”/Cheeseboard of Zonzamas was a lunisolar calendar similar to the Egyptian one (365 solar days and about 27.5 days) built up by aboriginal Guanches. It consists in channels carved in basaltic rocks in a precise way, which is very similar to one of the intriguing structures found at the City of David that may also represent an ancient Egyptian-like calendar. The second structure having parallel channels may be either part of another “Quesera”/Cheeseboard-like calendar or even a cart- ruts structure more widely defined in Malta as a Bronze Age construction. Both structures might also be astronomical observatories. We have proposed from our studies in Lanzarote and Malta Bronze Age cart-ruts that they also may be used to measure time and astronomic observations. This specific homology would certainly may bring Lanzarote megalithic archaeological “Quesera”/Cheese board centuries of years BC in antiquity. This so specific parallel between artifacts found in Middle East and Lanzarote could be explained by a “green” Sahara culture before desertification started 10-5,000 years BC.
