Probing multi-dimensional composition spaces in search of strong metallic alloys
Authors: Zhou Xinran , Zhou Fei , Marian Jaime , Bulatov Vasily
Published: November 2024

Due to their exceptional high-temperature strength compared to pure metals and dilute metal alloys, refractory complex concentrated alloys (RCCA) have attracted significant attention in recent times. However, predictive theory capable of guiding design and compositional optimization of RCCA for mechanical strength is yet to emerge. Here we present a series of large-scale Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of crystal plasticity devised to explore the space of alloy compositions in order to maximize their mechanical strength. As test-bed materials we focus on the Fe-Ta-W and the Nb-Ta-Mo-W alloy families, modeled here using Embedded Atom Model (EAM) and Spectral Neighbor Analysis Potentials (SNAP) interatomic potentials. To efficiently navigate our search towards mechanically strong alloy compositions, we employ iterative optimization using Gaussian process regression. Many of the simulated RCCA compositions exhibit well pronounced cocktail strengthening displaying strengths markedly exceeding that of their strongest constituent metal (tungsten in this case). At variance with common expectations, our computational experiments suggest that the highest strength may be achievable on the binary edges of the RCCA composition space. Taking advantage of the fully resolved atomistic trajectories, our simulations indicate that, much like in pure BCC metals, screw dislocations play a primary role in the plastic response of RCCA. However at large strains well past the yield point, dislocation multiplication and dislocation interactions (Taylor hardening) take over as the dominant contribution to RCCA strength.
Controlling unstable vehicular motions by exploiting linearized feedback law under delay-tolerance: stability, gain-scheduling, and validation

Published: November 2024

Automation of the transportation system inevitably encounters the difficulty of improving the passenger vehicle’s safety and intelligence. In the halfway of automation, the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) plays a significant role in bridging that difference. A crucial part of ADAS is the vehicle stability control (VSC) system avoiding motion instability in nonlinear handling maneuvers. In this paper, focusing on the system nonlinearity generated in critical conditions and loop delays in the feedback processes, we present
a delay-tolerant feedback structure of VSC that only captures the linearized properties alongside the maneuvers, where the maximal target-tracking performance is
designed to be achieved. A nonlinear vehicular model is first established, and the open-loop nonlinear characteristics are investigated through equilibrium analysis and local linearization. Time delays originating from sampling and actuating control loops are generalized
into the feedback control torque forming a delayed nonlinear system. A semi-discretized method is conducted that constructs the stability chart of the tunable control
gains in the feedback law, where the concatenation of those charts finally offers a conservative delay-tolerant domain. Two methods for gain scheduling w.r.t maximal target-tracking performance are developed to suit for either real-time (RT) or offline applicability, respectively. The proposed methodology for stably tracking the dynamic motion targets in nonlinear conditions is further summarized and then validated within experimental data-based simulations, which indicates that a linearized control law can achieve high-performance VSC with transferability to other control loops with different delays.
Adapting to drought: How do public works affect conservation and labor engagement in rural Ethiopia?
Authors: Akuma Gemeda Olani , Köhlin Gunnar , Guta Fantu
Published: November 2024

Support for life on land within the UN Sustainable Development Goals requires protection, restoration, and sustainable utilization of terrestrial ecosystems. This paper examines the effects of public works on soil and water conservation practices and labor participation in rural Ethiopia. Using data from the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys of Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) panel collected in 2011/12, 2013/14, and 2015/16, the study explores the correlation between drought and public works employment, employing satellite-based Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) anomalies as a proxy measure for drought shock. Using the Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) approach, the study evaluates the effects of public work employment on resource conservation and labor engagement outcomes. Despite concerns in the literature that public works may crowd out participants' own soil and water conservation and agricultural work, the results suggest that public works likely contribute to enhanced soil and water conservation practices. The primary impact of the program is on physical measures, while its effect on biological soil and conservation measures is limited. In addition, participation in the program increases labor participation in agricultural activities but reduces work hours in non-agricultural activities. The findings suggest that public works can promote sustainable land use, provide a pathway to a better future, and improve food security by improving soil and water conservation practices and altering labor participation in competing activities in rural areas.

Symbolic space as collective identity of territorial communities
Authors: Chornobut Olha
Published: November 2024

Introduction. This article is dedicated to the study of the impact of the symbolic space of Ukraine’s territorial communities on enhancing the effectiveness of local governance in the context of decentralization and martial law.
Relevance of the study. In the context of decentralization, the symbolic space of territorial communities serves as a key factor in shaping collective identity and contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage, which is being shaped by newly consolidated territories. It ensures integration at the local level and plays a central role in maintaining the historical values of the communities. The aim of this study is to analyze the components of the symbolic space of communities and determine their significance in strategic communication, aimed at enhancing social integration and cohesion among the population.
Methodology. The study employs a range of methods, including the analysis of scientific sources and the analysis and synthesis of terminology. The method of designing the components of the symbolic space of territories has been applied. An analysis of semiotic identities and communication channels within communities was conducted to identify strategic means of interaction and their impact on social communication and community positioning.
Results. The article analyzes aspects of the design of symbolic space in relation to socio-communicative connections within Ukraine’s territorial communities, considering its structure and components. The study identifies several key aspects: first, the analysis reveals the dynamic nature of symbolic space and its transformation within the community; second, the components of symbolic space are characterized in terms of their functions and interactions; third, the symbolic space is divided into components, allowing it to be transformed into a systematic and manageable structure.
Conclusions. The influence of symbolic space on the collective identity of territorial communities is a significant and stabilizing factor in the context of decentralization and martial law. We believe that the role of symbols is a driving force in activating social cohesion and civic mobility within the communicative relationships of communities. A systematized structure of symbolic space consolidates the population around shared values, which is crucial for effective interaction between different social groups.

Published: November 2024

A Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) showed a whitish, well-demarcated mass on various sites on the body and on the head. Based on histopathological examination, a multifocal iridophoroma was diagnosed in the fish. On H&E-stained slides the iridophores contained fine to coarse golden-brown intracytoplasmic pigment granules, which exhibited white-blue birefringence with polarized light. Additionally, Gram-negative bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii) were found in the diseased fish. The present report adds to the sparse literature describing iridophoromas in fish with bacterial infection, spontaneously.
Species traits explaining long-term abundance changes of breeding birds in farmland areas in Álava (N Spain)
Authors: Gainzarain José Antonio , Belamendia Gorka
Published: November 2024

In recent decades, the populations of many common bird species have greatly declined in Europe, particularly in farmland habitats. However, this decline has not affected every species, and to understand the mechanisms behind this interspecific variability, its relationship with several species-specific traits has been studied repeatedly. We used this approach to analyse long-term changes in the abundance of breeding passerines in farmland areas in northern Spain. Abundance changes were quantified in 2015 and 2016 by repeating the same line transects conducted in 1988/89 in three agricultural habitats located along a steep Atlantic-Mediterranean gradient in the province of Álava. We found that total bird abundance did not decline, as most species not closely linked to farmland habitats showed positive population changes, while the number of increasing and decreasing farmland specialists was similar. Specific traits explained a substantial proportion of the variability in abundance change, as warm-dwelling species and those occupying habitats with a complex vegetation structure showed more positive changes than those preferring colder conditions and more open habitats. These patterns can be explained by climate warming and by the increase in hedge and forest cover in the study area. Although we did not find a long-term decline in the overall abundance of the studied bird community nor in that of farmland specialists, open habitat species associated with a cool climate should be the focus of particular concern.

Authors: Band Kanchan , Verma Pankaj , Pradhan Deepak Kumar
Published: November 2024

Background

Diaphragm activation plays a crucial role in various function activities through the adequate core muscle setup. In order to bring a change in balance, agility, and respiratory outcomes in recreational athletes, the role of combined diaphragm and balance training is still under debate.

Purpose

The study aimed to investigate the added effect of respiratory training on balance training in recreational athletes.

Methods

Forty-two male recreational athletes were randomized into either the balance training group alone or the added respiratory training group.

Result

The result of the study revealed that the agility, balance, and respiratory outcomes were improved significantly (p < 0.05) in the combined respiratory and balance training group. However, in the balance training group seperately, the respiratory and agility outcomes did not improve significantly (p > 0.05), but the balance outcomes improved significantly (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The study concludes that additional respiratory training can help enhance respiratory and agility outcomes compared to balance training alone.

Authors: Sanukool Nitirat , Sirikijpanichkul Ackchai , Siwakosit Wichai
Published: November 2024

Introduction

This research investigates train delay propagation, focusing on identifying influencing factors, optimizing parameters to minimize delays, and proposing cost-effective mitigation measures using the southern intercity railway route of Thailand as a case study.

Methods

The study employs cluster analysis and multiple linear regression to formulate delay propagation models, followed by multi-objective optimization to achieve optimal variable sets. In addition, by analyzing passenger patterns across different train types, the representative models are developed to inform policy adjustments and optimize service delivery. The research focuses on aligning commercial viability with passenger needs and preferences.

Results

Findings from this study will provide valuable insights for future planning and potential application to other rail routes. Key findings suggest that for double-track systems, effective policies include increasing train acceleration rates, adjusting the number of stops, and enhancing junction systems. For single-track systems, similar policies apply, with additional emphasis on converting to double tracks to minimize delays in train shunting.

Conclusion

Implementing these measures is expected to mitigate cumulative delays and enhance rail service efficiency.

Design and Analysis of a Solar-Powered Water Heating System
Authors: Sharma Neelam
Published: November 2024

Water heaters consume a large amount of electricity for heating water. Traditional heaters require heating coils to heat up water using a minimum of 2000 Watts for the process. Well, when we use solar energy for water heating it requires around 30 to 50 Watts of power thus saving more a lot of energy. We here developed a more efficient solar water heater to heat up water at a faster rate using efficient coiling along with heat trapping and reflecting mirrors. The water heater can more efficiently heat up water at a faster pace than traditional solar water heaters. The system makes use of steel pipes coiled together for passing water through them. The pipes are heated by solar rays directly falling on them. We additionally use an aluminium plate behind the pipes to absorb the rays passing through in between pipes. Over this we use 2 additional reflective sheets to gather and reflect additional solar rays over the pipes. This system heats up the pipes thus heating up the water passing
A Brief Overview On The Krypton Ion Laser
Authors: Jalil Muhammad Arif Bin
Published: November 2024

Abstract: The Krypton laser is a member of the family of gas lasers, which employ rare gases as its lasing medium. Another name for it is a krypton ion laser. In ion lasers, the stimulated emission process takes place in between the ion's two energy levels. Since it produces white light, argon is one of the gases most frequently utilized in gas lasers. Krypton lasers are special because they can shine on four distinct spectral lines red, blue, yellow, and green when the right mirrors are used. There are up to ten different wavelengths of light that the krypton laser can emit, but the most important ones are those in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The structure and energy levels released by krypton lasers are comparable to those of argon lasers. The primary construction changes are in the mirrors for the intended outputs and the gases used to fill the plasma tube. Because it takes a lot of energy to ionize the atoms and excite them to the right state, this laser has a relatively low efficiency. Holography, entertainment, and medical applications are the main uses for krypton lasers. Similar to argon lasers, this laser requires caution to operate. When using krypton lasers, it is important to wear appropriate eye protection. [23]

Authors: Khairin Utomo Muhammad , Jumariati Jumariati , Nasrullah Nasrullah , Sutiono Cayandrawati
Published: November 2024

This research aims to discover the levels of EFL students' critical thinking skills. It is a quantitative approach with descriptive design by utilizing the adapted version of the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Skills Test as the instrument. It consists of five indicators: deduction, inference, identifying assumptions, interpretation, and analyzing arguments, with five questions for each. The subjects of the research were 33 students of the English Department of FKIP, Lambung Mangkurat University. The results showed that 23 students (69.69%) had a moderate level of critical thinking skills, seven students (21.21%) had a low level, and three students (9.09%) had a high level. Specifically, they performed low levels in inference and identifying assumptions, but they had moderate levels of critical thinking skills in deduction, interpretation of information, and analysis of arguments. These findings imply the need to facilitate students with more practice to develop their critical thinking skills, particularly in making inferences and identifying assumptions. Further research is recommended to measure EFL students' critical thinking skills by involving larger participants using other instruments of measurement to reveal more conclusive findings.

Published: November 2024

In the era of big data, robust pattern recognition and accurate data analysis have become critical in various fields, including healthcare, finance, and industrial automation. This study presents a novel hybrid computational intelligence model that integrates deep learning techniques and evolutionary algorithms to enhance the precision and resilience of pattern recognition tasks. Our proposed model combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for high-dimensional feature extraction with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for feature optimization and selection, providing a more efficient approach to processing complex datasets. The hybrid model achieved an accuracy of 98.7% on the MNIST dataset and outperformed conventional methods in terms of recall (95.5%) and precision (97.2%) on large-scale image classification tasks. Additionally, it demonstrated substantial improvements in computation time, reducing processing duration by 35% over traditional deep learning approaches.
Experimental results on diverse datasets, including time-series and unstructured data, confirmed the model's versatility and adaptability, achieving F1-scores of 0.92 in healthcare data analysis and 0.89 in financial anomaly detection. By incorporating a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, the model further optimized hyperparameters, leading to a 25% reduction in memory consumption without compromising model performance. This approach not only enhances computational efficiency but also enables the model to perform reliably in resource-constrained environments. Our results suggest that hybrid computational intelligence models offer a promising solution for robust, scalable pattern recognition and data analysis, addressing the evolving demands of real-world applications.
Fabulação crioula: a política da intercessão e da memória no cinema de Pedro Costa
Authors: Quinteiro Pires Francisco
Published: November 2024

Este artigo analisa a obra cinematográfica de Pedro Costa centrando-se nos filmes Juventude em Marcha (2006) e Cavalo Dinheiro (2014), que exploram o espaço marginalizado dos imigrantes cabo-verdianos e seus descendentes. O personagem central, Ventura, um ator não-profissional cabo-verdiano, desafia as representações convencionais ao forjar as suas experiências pessoais na construção de um roteiro não preestabelecido. A proposta do artigo é destacar como a política de intercessão praticada pelo cinema de Costa subverte o conceito de não-lugar atribuído a Ventura pela academia. Ventura, como intercessor, narra suas próprias memórias pós-coloniais, desafiando as representações visuais tradicionais e desconstruindo significados convencionais do ser subalternizado. A estratégia estético-narrativa, marcada pelo transe, cria um espaço compartilhado onde diretor e ator se tornam sujeitos menos discerníveis, embaralhando as categorias de sujeito e objeto. A proximidade entre diretor e ator gera um contágio que perturba a distinção entre ambos, desestabilizando a representação tradicional de imigrantes, trabalhadores, língua e os conceitos de local e nacional no cinema de Costa. O artigo argumenta que essa prática de intercessão promove uma partilha de saberes em um lugar marcado pela precariedade e racialização pós-colonial.
A voz corpórea como expressão do inefável: comentários sobre Mais do que palavras ao vento: voz, corpo e melodrama no cinema (2020)
Authors: Cavalcanti Jaques
Published: November 2024

A dissertação Mais do que palavras ao vento: voz, corpo e melodrama no cinema (2020), sob a autoria de Felipe Ferro Rodrigues, busca repensar a ideia do melodrama como a encenação do sofrimento da vítima silenciada, em que o corpo é o principal meio de manifestação simbólica do desejo reprimido. Esta definição, todavia, parece não levar em consideração a voz em sua materialidade mais natural. A limitação semântica não estaria relacionada à incapacidade de projeção vocal, mas sim da impossibilidade de organização lógica do discurso através da palavra. A partir da análise dos longas-metragens Carta de uma desconhecida (Max Ophüls, 1948) e Imitação da Vida (Douglas Sirk, 1959), o autor contesta a máxima de que o melodrama é o drama da mudez (Brooks, 1995), e o ressignifica como o espaço onde o vocal ultrapassa o oral.
Você não estava aqui e O bom patrão: cinema europeu contemporâneo para pensar as lógicas do mundo do trabalho
Authors: Hiller Marcos
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo analisa as obras cinematográficas "Você não estava aqui" de Ken Loach e "O bom patrão" de Fernando León de Aranoa à luz das perspectivas do Capitalismo de Plataforma e da Sociologia do Trabalho. Ambos os filmes oferecem uma visão crítica das complexidades contemporâneas do mundo do trabalho, explorando a precarização, a desregulamentação dos direitos trabalhistas e o trabalho emocional. Loach destaca a falsa liberdade promovida pelo capitalismo de plataforma, expondo a exploração tecnológica, enquanto Aranoa revela o cinismo na liderança empresarial, criticando a instrumentalização das emoções. Com base em teorias de Antunes, Hochschild e Illouz, os filmes evidenciam transformações que afetam não apenas as condições materiais, mas também a saúde emocional e a subjetividade dos trabalhadores. Em última análise, instigam uma reflexão sobre os impactos da vileza apregoada pela atual configuração do sistema capitalista e a necessidade de repensar estruturas laborais em função de dimensão mais humanizada e equitativa.

Essa proposta foi alcançada a partir do uso de questionário, estruturado em forma de perguntas abertas, fechadas, de múltipla escolha e enviado por e-mail aos arquivistas dos acervos da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais; Universidade Federal da Bahia; Universidade Federal do Paraná; Universidade Federal do Pará; e do Arquivo Público do Estado do Pará. Os resultados evidenciaram que os arquivistas das instituições pesquisadas raramente se apropriam de recursos para compor o processo de indexação dos documentos permanentes, a exemplo das diretrizes pré-definidas, elaboração de manual ou de catálogos, uso de Software, campo para incluir termos e remissivas; entre outros e, para piorar, os arquivistas pouco conhecem os instrumentos de indexação. Concluí-se que os sujeitos dessa pesquisa não usam as ferramentas arquivistas para indexar os documentos de acervos permanentes, cuja causa mais evidente é a ausência de uma política voltada para este segmento e, por conseguinte, os arquivistas carecem de ferramentas para aplicar no seu labor, ainda que estes profissionais recorram a formas de representação alternativas para recuperar a informação: os fundamentos da Ciência da Informação e da Norma brasileira de descrição arquivista.

Analisa a utilização de recursos eletrônicos e digitais na formação de professores contextualizada em três bibliotecas universitárias: a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, a Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul e a Universidade de Passo Fundo. As interrelações entre cultura e educação, e a capacidade dos sujeitos entenderem e se adequarem à nova cultura emergente, ocorrem por meio de plataformas digitais e da virtualização de informações. Busca-se compreender se os recursos eletrônicos de informação são elementos potencializadores do papel didático-pedagógico da biblioteca, centrados na busca e recuperação de informações, sendo parte embrionária do processo de pesquisa. Tais constatações implicam em redimensionar a instância “biblioteca”, a fim de que possa se transformar em núcleo cultural, reflexivo, e voltado, fundamentalmente, à formação dos sujeitos, tendo a pesquisa como eixo articulador dos processos político-pedagógicos.

Estudo de caso único, com o objetivo de observar e avaliar as mudanças ocorridas dentro de uma biblioteca escolar durante a pandemia de COVID-19, entre os anos de 2020 e 2021. Para isso foi feito um relato detalhado sobre as Bibliotecas da Escola Eleva antes e no decorrer da pandemia, assim como definido que é a biblioteca escolar e quais são as suas funções junto à comunidade atendida. Para tanto realizou-se uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica sobre o tema biblioteca escolar, e consulta aos órgãos oficiais sobre as recomendações para funcionamento ao longo desse período pandêmico. Para análise foi realizada uma comparação das atividades e utilização do espaço da biblioteca antes da pandemia, assim como as mudanças ocorridas. O referencial teórico sustentou a avaliação sobre a forma que a biblioteca escolhida lidou com a pandemia. Os resultados apontam um alinhamento entre as mudanças adotadas nas bibliotecas estudadas e a literatura citada, como o sistema de referência virtual e contação de história online. Conclui-se que a biblioteca lidou bem com as mudanças causadas pela pandemia, tendo aproximado sua comunidade da leitura e da biblioteca.

Visa proporcionar um relance analítico sobre as atividades envolvidas a partir das mudanças induzidas pelas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) que modificaram a Comunicação Científica nas últimas décadas, como as instituições de ensino e pesquisa brasileiras estão se inserindo no contexto dos dados abertos e os novos desafios a partir do domínio tecnológico, com destaque para as políticas fomentadas pela integração da Parceria para o Governo Aberto (OGP), na agenda ampla da Ciência Aberta e da inovação com propósito da construção de uma ciência pública, transparente e amplamente acessível. Identifica as instituições de ensino e pesquisa que já possuem repositórios de Dados Abertos de Pesquisa no Brasil, para isso foi feita uma pesquisa documental, bibliográfica e exploratória quanti-qualitativa sobre o tema inicialmente baseado em dois relatórios recentes de grupos de trabalho que desenvolvem pesquisa para a implantação de políticas públicas nacionais. A partir desses relatórios, foi realizada uma nova pesquisa no diretório Re3data e em outras fontes a partir do portal dados.gov.br para identificar quais instituições brasileiras já possuem repositórios de dados de pesquisa. No estudo apontado nos dois relatórios de 2019 havia sete registos na plataforma Re3Data e oito encontrados na Web. Na atualização da pesquisa, Re3Dta é constantemente atualizado, foram encontrados dez registos na plataforma Re3Data e treze na web, que nos levam a perceber a crescente presença de repositórios de Dados Abertos nas instituições de pesquisa brasileiras que muito embora indiquem crescimento, ainda é muito incipiente este tipo de repositório no Brasil.

Investiga a atuação do bibliotecário nas revistas científicas que integram o Portal de Periódicos da Universidade Federal do Maranhão, com vista a identificar as habilidades e competências que o bibliotecário pode desempenhar na editoração de publicação científica. A análise proposta foi realizada através de pesquisa documental; para obtenção dos dados foram utilizados questionários via Google Docs e e-mail para os seguintes participantes: bibliotecários, discentes de Biblioteconomia da UFMA e editores das revistas selecionadas. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a maioria dos investigados possuem conhecimento em: administração, manutenção do site da revista, normalização e indexação. Outro ponto, os bibliotecários que participaram da pesquisa já trabalharam em revistas científicas; os discentes reconhecem as inúmeras atividades desenvolvidas pelo cientista da informação em periódicos científicos; e os editores das revistas científicas selecionadas reiteram que há bibliotecários na sua estrutura organizacional, vale mencionar que diante das dezenove atividades exercidas foram diagnosticadas apenas as ações de normalização e indexação. Ademais, a maioria dos respondentes possui entendimento sobre o tema mercado editorial e da atuação do bibliotecário nesse cenário. Contudo, os participantes da pesquisa ressaltam que a falta de competências e habilidades, além do mercado enfraquecido, são alguns dos entraves mais significativos para a inserção do profissional da informação.
