Authors: Li Zhiguang , Wang Zitong , Cui Can , Zhang Shuo , Zhao Yuanjie
Published: July 2023

The sedimentary laminae of Tamarix cones in arid regions are of great significance for dating and climatic reconstruction. Here, we present a multiproxy climatic record from the Tamarix cones in the southern margin of the Taklimakan Desert. Both the bivariate analysis and canonical correlation analysis were carried out for four groups of climate proxies in Tamarix cones, including organic matter content, grain size, cation content, and stable isotope content (δ13C, and δ18O). The temperature during the period from 1790 to 2010 AD has been reconstructed using the support vector machine optimized by the grey wolf optimizer, in which the climate proxies (TN, TOC, C/N, Mg2+, Ca2+, δ13C, and δ18O) were selected using the neighborhood rough set. The reconstructed values are in good agreement with the instrumental data. The regional temperature has distinct stages during the period from 1790 to 2010 AD, with cold conditions during 1790–1840 AD and 1896–1939 AD, and with warm conditions during 1841–1895 AD and 1940–2010 AD. The present work is beneficial to predict the future climate in the local area and encourage local governments to develop more effective measures to address the risks of climate change to environmental sustainability.
Does a Cross-Correlation of Economic Policy Uncertainty with China’s Carbon Market Really Exist? A Perspective on Fractal Market Hypothesis
Authors: An Yuchen , Jiang Kunliang , Song Jiashan
Published: July 2023

Under the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), part of the literature ignores the characteristics of carbon markets. Based on the fractal market hypothesis (FMH), using the MF-DCCA method, this empirical study complements related research. We studied the non-linear multifractal correlation between carbon price fluctuations and China’s economic policy uncertainty (CNEPU) in Shenzhen, Beijing, Tianjin, and the national carbon market. The results show the following: (1) There is no linear correlation between price volatility and CNEPU in all carbon markets. (2) In the national carbon market, the correlation linkage between price fluctuation and CNEPU has not yet formed. (3) In the three regional carbon markets of Shenzhen, Beijing, and Tianjin, the long-range correlations exist with anti-persistence multifractal characteristics, which means that an increase in CNEPU will reduce price fluctuations. (4) After dividing the time scale into long-term and short-term, we found that it does not change the multifractal characteristics but it does change the fractal intensity. Finally, some suggestions are given to policymakers and carbon finance investors.
The Effect of Social Contacts on the Uptake of Health Innovations among Older Ethnic Minorities in the UK: A Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Ismail Mohamed
Published: July 2023

Several studies have highlighted specific views on ageing among older migrants in Europe that tend to be outdated or more pessimistic than the general population. However, the current literature does not provide explanations for such observations. This mixed methods study considers the diffusion of innovation among older migrants as a possible explanatory factor. A critical component of the diffusion of innovation theory is how information is accessed, exchanged, and communicated through social contacts. This study employs the fundamental mathematical model of diffusion to examine the differential effects of diffusion of innovation based on the social contact rates among migrant groups compared to the overall UK population. As there is no direct information on social contact rates among migrants in the UK, the analysis uses the equivalence from the migrants’ home countries as proxies. This study utilises social matrices of contact data for the UK based on publicly available information from a European survey and other publications for the contact rate for three sending countries where there are large migrant groups in the UK and Europe (India, Pakistan and Turkey). The analysis shows that, when controlling for other factors, migrants are likely to suffer considerable delays in the diffusion of innovations compared to the majority UK population. The findings have several policy implications concerning promoting inclusive public health and disease prevention interventions, which are essential components of a sustainable healthcare system for an increasingly diverse UK older population.
Scaling Symmetries and Parameter Reduction in Epidemic SI(R)S Models
Authors: Nill Florian
Published: July 2023

Symmetry concepts in parametrized dynamical systems may reduce the number of external parameters by a suitable normalization prescription. If, under the action of a symmetry group G, parameter space A becomes a (locally) trivial principal bundle, A≅A/G×G, then the normalized dynamics only depends on the quotient A/G. In this way, the dynamics of fractional variables in homogeneous epidemic SI(R)S models, with standard incidence, absence of R-susceptibility and compartment independent birth and death rates, turns out to be isomorphic to (a marginally extended version of) Hethcote’s classic endemic model, first presented in 1973. The paper studies a 10-parameter master model with constant and I-linear vaccination rates, vertical transmission and a vaccination rate for susceptible newborns. As recently shown by the author, all demographic parameters are redundant. After adjusting time scale, the remaining 5-parameter model admits a 3-dimensional abelian scaling symmetry. By normalization we end up with Hethcote’s extended 2-parameter model. Thus, in view of symmetry concepts, reproving theorems on endemic bifurcation and stability in such models becomes needless.
Integrated Resolving Functions for Equations with Gerasimov–Caputo Derivatives
Authors: Fedorov Vladimir E. , Skorynin Anton S. , Debbouche Amar
Published: July 2023

The concept of a β-integrated resolving function for a linear equation with a Gerasimov–Caputo fractional derivative is introduced into consideration. A number of properties of such functions are proved, and conditions for the solvability of the Cauchy problem to linear homogeneous and inhomogeneous equations are found in the case of the existence of a β-integrated resolving function. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a function in terms of estimates on the resolvent of its generator are obtained. The example of a β-integrated resolving function for the Schrödinger equation is given. Thus, the paper discusses some aspects of the symmetry of the concepts of integrability and differentiability. Namely, it is shown that, in the absence of a sufficiently differentiable resolving function for a fractional differential equation, the problem of the existence of a solution can be solved by an integrated resolving function of the equation.

Silicon Photomultipliers for Neutrino Telescopes
Authors: Real Diego , Calvo David
Published: July 2023

Neutrino astronomy has opened a new window to the extreme Universe, entering into a fruitful era built upon the success of neutrino telescopes, which have already given a new step forward in this novel and growing field by the first observation of steady point-like sources already achieved by IceCube. Neutrino telescopes equipped with Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPMs) will significantly increase in number, because of their excellent time resolution and the angular resolution, and will be in better condition to detect more steady sources as well as the unexpected. The use of SiPMs represents a challenge to the acquisition electronics because of the fast signals as well as the high levels of dark noise produced by SiPMs. The acquisition electronics need to include a noise rejection scheme by implementing a coincidence filter between channels. This work discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using SiPMs for the next generation of neutrino telescopes, focusing on the possible developments that could help for their adoption in the near future.
Coulomb Corrections for Bose–Einstein Correlations from One- and Three-Dimensional Lévy-Type Source Functions
Authors: Kurgyis Bálint , Kincses Dániel , Nagy Márton , Csanád Máté
Published: July 2023

In the study of femtoscopic correlations in high-energy physics, besides Bose–Einstein correlations, one has to take final-state interactions into account. Amongst them, Coulomb interactions play a prominent role in the case of charged particles. Recent measurements have shown that in heavy-ion collisions, Bose–Einstein correlations can be best described by Lévy-type sources instead of the more common Gaussian assumption. Furthermore, three-dimensional measurements have indicated that, depending on the choice of frame, a deviation from spherical symmetry observed under the assumption of Gaussian source functions persists in the case of Lévy-type sources. To clarify such three-dimensional Lévy-type correlation measurements, it is thus important to study the effect of Coulomb interactions in the case of non-spherical Lévy sources. We calculated the Coulomb correction factor numerically in the case of such a source function for assorted kinematic domains and parameter values using the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm and compared our results with previous methods to treat Coulomb interactions in the presence of Lévy sources.
Dark Matter in Fractional Gravity II: Tests in Galaxy Clusters
Authors: Benetti Francesco , Lapi Andrea , Gandolfi Giovanni , Haridasu Balakrishna Sandeep , Danese Luigi
Published: July 2023

Recently, in Benetti et al. (Astrophys. J. 2023, 949, 65), we suggested that the dark matter (DM) component in galaxies may originate fractional gravity. In such a framework, the DM component exists, but the gravitational potential associated to its density distribution is determined by a modified Poisson equation including fractional derivatives (i.e., derivatives of noninteger type), which are meant to describe nonlocal effects; as such, this scenario is different from theories where baryonic matter emulates DM-like effects via modifications of gravity (e.g., MONDian frameworks). In Benetti et al., we showed that fractional gravity worked very well for reproducing the kinematics of disk-dominated galaxies, especially dwarfs; there is also preliminary evidence that the strength of fractional effects tends to weaken toward more massive systems. Here, we aim to test fractional gravity in galaxy clusters, with a twofold aim: (i) perform an independent sanity check that it can accurately describe such large and massive structures; (ii) derive a clear-cut trend for its strength in systems with different DM masses. To this purpose, we forward model the density and pressure distributions of the intracluster medium (ICM), working out the hydrostatic equilibrium equation in fractional gravity. Then, we perform a Bayesian analysis of the X-COP galaxy cluster sample and infer constraints on the fractional gravity parameters, for individual clusters as well as stacked clusters. We find that fractional gravity performs remarkably well in modeling the ICM profiles for the X-COP sample. We also check that the DM concentration vs. mass relation is still consistent with the expectations of N-body simulations in the standard cosmological scenario. Finally, we confirm the weakening of the fractional gravity effects toward more massive systems and derive the overall scaling of the fractional gravity parameters from dwarf galaxies to massive clusters, spanning six orders of magnitude in DM mass. Such an overall trend implies that fractional gravity can substantially alleviate the small-scale issues of the standard DM paradigm, while remaining successful on large cosmological scales.
Design and Experimental Evaluation of a Scaled Modular Testbed Platform for the Drivetrain of Electric Vehicles
Authors: Kardasz Martin R. , Kazerani Mehrdad
Published: July 2023

Electric vehicles (EVs) are experiencing explosive growth in public adoption, causing a major shift in research and development priorities by OEMs toward electrified powertrains. To verify EV drivetrain platforms and software models in the design phase, testbeds with specific capabilities are essential. Full-scale vehicle testbeds are expensive, bulky, dissipative, and not easily reconfigurable or movable, making scaled testbeds more attractive, especially for education and research institutes. To support this cause, this paper reports on the development of a small-scale, modular, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed platform for the drivetrain of EVs that is cost-effective, efficient, and easily movable and reconfigurable and allows integration of a battery pack. The testbed is comprised of two directly coupled electric machines. The first machine emulates the traction motor and is used to control vehicle speed according to a specified drive cycle. The second machine is used to impose a torque profile on the first machine’s shaft—based on the vehicle’s parameters and driving environment—and emulates a gearbox (if necessary). A systematic two-way scaling approach is adopted to downscale the parameters and driving environment of full-size EVs to a level that can be handled by the testbed and to upscale the test results obtained from the testbed to the full-size vehicle level. The power consumption of the testbed is limited to system losses. A case study involving a full-size EV was performed and the HIL simulation results were compared to the computer simulation results to verify the performance of the testbed.
An Application of Inverse Problem and Universal Solutions for Pumping Wells in Unconfined Aquifers
Authors: Martínez-Moreno Encarnación , Alhama Francisco , Alhama Iván , García-Ros Gonzalo
Published: July 2023

As far as we know, universal solutions (or type-curves) for scenarios of flow through anisotropic unconfined aquifers due to pumping wells cannot be found in the literature. On the contrary, those theoretical solutions in hydrogeological manuals are commonly based on Dupuit solutions for isotropic soils or simplifying other characteristics of the chosen medium. In this study, the application of the discriminated nondimensionalization technique allowed for the inclusion of vertical and radial hydraulic conductivities in the data set, with which the monomials ruling unknown variables of the problem, pumping flow and seepage surface in their dimensionless form are obtained. One of the main findings of this research is depicting these relationships as type-curves from a large number of precise numerical simulations based on the Network Simulation Method. The other main finding is an easy-to-apply methodology to estimate vertical and radial hydraulic conductivities employing these type-curves. This methodology can be considered as an inverse problem. In addition, an example of the problem is presented, in which the influence that measure deviations may have on the estimated values of the hydraulic conductivities in anisotropic soils is also studied and discussed.
Comparative Assessment of Sap Flow Modeling Techniques in European Beech Trees: Can Linear Models Compete with Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Neural Networks?
Authors: Nalevanková Paulína , Fleischer Peter , Mukarram Mohammad , Sitková Zuzana , Střelcová Katarína
Published: July 2023

Transpiration and sap flow are physiologically interconnected processes that regulate nutrient and water uptake, controlling major aspects of tree life. They hold special relevance during drought, where wrecked sap flow can undermine overall tree growth and development. The present study encompasses five-year (2012–2015 and 2017) sap flow datasets on European beech (Fagus sylvatica). Four different techniques were used for sap flow modeling, namely, a linear model (LM), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting machine (XGBM), and neural networks (NN). We used six variants (Variants 1–6) differing in the captured conditions and the dataset size. The ‘prediction power’ was the ratio of the predicted and observed sap flow. We found the LM had the maximum prediction power for the overall sap flow in beech trees with 1 h shift of global radiation. In the reaming variants, the LM provided comparable prediction power to RF and XGBM. At the same time, NN exhibited relatively poor prediction power over other machine learning models. The study supports an easier-to-apply and computationally simpler approach (LM) to assess sap flow over more sophisticated machine learning approaches (RF, XGBM, and NN).

Published: July 2023

Water resources are crucial in developing any area as they serve as a major source of potable, agricultural, and industrial water. Water contamination, caused by natural and anthropogenic activities, poses a significant threat to public health globally. This review synthesizes data from various studies published in national and international journals, as well as reports from governmental and non-governmental organizations. Our primary objective is to understand and review previous research on water pollution, contamination types, and the effects of water contamination on public health. Water pollution studies generally involve a scientific understanding of the biological, chemical, and physical processes that control the movement of contaminants in the underground environment. The nature and severity of health consequences vary based on several factors, including the chemical composition, duration of exposure, and concentration of pollutants. This work highlights the human health risks associated with current research topics such as anthropogenic, geogenic, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals. A section on remedial measures and mitigation strategies is included to emphasize sustainable approaches to water conservation, replenishment, and sustainability. However, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding the distribution, toxic effects, and human health risks associated with different sources of contamination. This review thus establishes links between multiple sources of pollution, their toxicity to human health, and approaches to health risk assessment.

Changes in land cover (LC) are the major factors influencing the hydrological processes within a watershed. Understanding the impacts of LC on watershed hydrology is crucial for planning and predicting land resource utilization, water resources, and sustaining hydrological balance. This study assesses the hydrological responses of LC changes in the Muger watershed located in the Upper Blue Nile River Basin (UBNRB) from 1986 to 2020. We used the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrological model to investigate the effects of LC on the hydrological process. The simulations were driven by several datasets, such as watershed elevations, mean climatology, hydrology and soil datasets, and LC satellite maps for three time periods (i.e., satellite imagery taken in 1986, 2003, and 2020). We found that the key LC changes that affected hydrological parameters in the Muger watershed are changes in cultivation land, forest land, and settlement. The expansion of cultivation land and shrinkage of forest and shrub lands triggered surface runoff and a reduction in groundwater between 1986 and 2003. Additionally, settlement was identified as the primary factor contributing to increases in evapotranspiration (ET) and surface runoff. The LC changes that occurred between 1986 and 2020 reduced the average annual, wet season, and dry season streamflow. Between 2003 and 2020, surface runoff decreased by 3.71% due to the effect of land landscape restoration interventions. The outcome of the study can assist decision-makers and planners in preparing adaptable strategies under changing LC conditions within a watershed.
Denitrification Assays for Testing Effects of Xenobiotics on Aquatic Denitrification and Their Degradation in Aquatic Environments
Authors: Pániková Kristína , Weigelhofer Gabriele , Bílková Zuzana , Malá Jitka
Published: July 2023

We developed, tested, and optimized two laboratory denitrification assays for both managers and scientists to assess the effects of xenobiotics on the denitrification process over 7 days (short batch assay, SBA) and 28 days (long semi-continuous assay, LSA). The assays facilitate (1) measuring the efficiency of nitrate removal under the influence of xenobiotics, (2) determining the removal of the tested xenobiotics via adsorption or biotic decomposition, and (3) testing the influencing parameters for optimizing the denitrification process. The adsorption of the xenobiotics was assessed by inhibiting all biological processes through the addition of HgCl2. Our tests demonstrate that the ratio of the initial nitrate concentration to the amount of bioavailable organic matter provided is essential to avoid organic carbon or nitrate limitation. While a pH < 7 resulted in decreased denitrification, a pH > 8 led to nitrite accumulation, indicating incomplete denitrification. Over durations of more than a week, weekly replenishments of the nitrate and HgCl2 and weekly purging with argon gas to reduce the oxygen concentrations are needed. The assays provide information about the accumulation of xenobiotics in the bioreactors that is necessary for the environmentally friendly treatment of the bioreactor fillings and provide insight into the potential of the bioreactors to remove pesticides from polluted water resources.
Wine Lees as Alternative Substrate for Microalgae Cultivation: New Opportunity in Winery Waste Biorefinery Application
Authors: Scarponi Paolina , Bravi Marco , Cavinato Cristina
Published: July 2023

The winery sector represents one of the most important agricultural industries in Mediterranean country. Wine production processes generate a large amount of wastes and wastewaters that must be treated before their release in the environment. Among these wastes, wine lees, defined as the viscous material that settles on the bottom of fermenters, represent about 13% of the total wine production. The wine lees do not have applications within a circular economy approach, due to their low value; ethanol and tartaric acid are the only compounds recovered, while the rest is usually not valorized. The aim of this study is to explore the possible cultivation of microalgae on a liquid fraction of wine lees in a batch test at different substrate/inoculum dilutions. The results highlighted that Chlorella vulgaris can grow on wine lees at 1:10 and 1:5 dilutions, but a spontaneous yeast-microalgae consortium is observed (biomass production of 2 g l−1). A high lipid and protein storage was detected in the yeast-microalgae consortium (34.56 ± 13.70% and 39.73 ± 4.49%, respectively), associated with a high sCOD and polyphenols removal (99.95 ± 0.01% and 92.31 ± 0.02%, respectively), encouraging biological wine lees treatment.

Kebutuhan bahan bakar minyak bumi di Indonesia dari tahun ke tahun mengalami peningkatan. Peningkatan kebutuhan bahan bakar minyak bumi ini tidak diimbangi dengan peningkatan produksinya, sehingga kebutuhan bahan bakar lebih besar daripada ketersediaan bahan bakar. Salah satu bahan bakar alternatif untuk motor diesel yang telah dikembangkan di Indonesia adalah biodiesel. Biodiesel dapat dibuat dari minyak nabati yang diperoleh dari tanaman seperti minyak sawit, jarak, minyak kelapa, minyak kedelai, dll. pada masa yang akan datang bahan baku biodiesel sangat bervariasi sehingga perlu untuk memodelkan. Keberhasilan memproduksi CME (Castor Methyl Esther),  PME (Palm Methyl Esther ) dan JME (Jelantah Methyl Esther) memberikan kesempatan dalam upaya untuk mempertemukannya. Karakteristik dari bahan bakar biodiesel untuk viskositas, densitas, Nilai Kalor, titik kabut, dan angka setana memenuhi syarat yang distandartkan SNI. Biodiesel dilakukan pencampuran dengan komposisi CME33,3, PME33,3, JME33,3. Bahan bakar campuran tersebut diuji cobakan  pada motor diesel kapal nelayan untuk mengetahui karakteristik unjuk kerjanya. Uji coba dilakukan dengan variasi putaran motor dan variasi pembebanan. Pada kondisi beban penuh (full load) unjuk kerja motor diesel yang meliputi daya motor, torsi, efisiensi thermal dan SFOC sebagai fungsi putaran motor pada beban penuh menunjukkan bahwa bahan bakar solar lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan bahan bakar biodiesel CME33,3, PME33,3, JME33,3.
