The geometric features and operational parameters of rotary blades on rotary tillers significantly impact their performance characteristics. The sweepback angle is a geometric feature of the 'L'-shaped rotary blade that has remained unexplored in previous studies. This study aimed to analyze the effect of geometrical and operational parameters on the performance dynamics of the 'L'-shaped rotary blade. The investigation was conducted using the discrete element method (DEM) and further validated through experiments conducted in a soil bin. The simulation experiment was conducted by dividing the particle bed into horizontal particle zones. The effect of the geometrical (sweepback angle) and operational parameters (forward speed, rotational speed, and depth) on the power requirement, disturbance intensity, and mixing index was studied. The novel method was adopted to determine the mixing capability of rotary blades in terms of sub-domain mixing index (SMI) and overall mixing index (OMI). The results revealed that the power requirements for a sweepback angle of 18° were 26.39% and 16.50% lower than those for sweepback angles of 6° and 12°, respectively. The sweepback angle tends to have the least effect on the overall mixing index compared to operational parameters. The average particle velocity decreased by 22.19% and 29.60% with sweepback angles of 12° and 18°, respectively, compared to the sweepback angle of 6°. The relative error during the experiment varied between 1.29% and 13.51%. It was concluded that the sweepback angle was found to be a feasible option for reducing the power requirement with good mixing indices.
Enhancing spectral analysis in nonlinear dynamics with pseudoeigenfunctions from continuous spectra
Authors: Sakata Itsushi , Kawahara Yoshinobu
Published: August 2024

The analysis of complex behavior in empirical data poses significant challenges in various scientific and engineering disciplines. Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a widely used method to reveal the spectral features of nonlinear dynamical systems without prior knowledge. However, because of its infinite dimensions, analyzing the continuous spectrum resulting from chaos and noise is problematic. We propose a clustering-based method to analyze dynamics represented by pseudoeigenfunctions associated with continuous spectra. This paper describes data-driven algorithms for comparing pseudoeigenfunctions using subspaces. We used the recently proposed Residual Dynamic Mode Decomposition (ResDMD) to approximate spectral properties from the data. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we analyzed 1D signal data affected by thermal noise and 2D-time series of coupled chaotic systems exhibiting generalized synchronization. The results reveal dynamic patterns previously obscured by conventional DMD analyses and provide insights into coupled chaos’s complexities.

Published: August 2024

With the growing popularity of cold brewed coffee comes a need for brewing efficiency while preserving the desirable flavor profile. Despite the wide use of full immersion brewing techniques, the effect of brew time on the dynamic sensory profiles of full immersion brewed coffee remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the relationship between coffee sensory quality and extraction dynamics, measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Extraction (E) of full immersion brewed coffee at various roast levels, and brewing temperatures (4 °C, 22 °C and 92 °C), over brew time using a generic descriptive analysis method. Specifically, different brew time points were selected for different temperatures based on five targeted coffee extraction stages. Furthermore, the unique experimental design also explored a sensory-driven engineering research process. Roast level had the greatest impact on the sensory profile of the coffees, followed by brewing temperature, but brew time, especially the longer brew times as TDS plateaued, had subtler impacts than expected. Twenty-five of 28 sensory attributes were significantly different among the 30 coffee samples, indicating a single source green coffee blend can produce a wide range of complex sensory profiles using different combinations of roast level, temperature, and brew time. Specifically, the intensity of sweetness was negatively correlated with TDS, and 19 other attribute intensities were positively correlated with TDS. Interestingly, we found that certain long time cold brews had similar sensory profiles to those of some short time hot brews, suggesting the sensory profiles of certain hot brews and cold brews could possibly be matched through controlled preparation. Overall, our study demonstrated an approach of integrating food engineering and sensory analysis for product development, and our findings provide valuable insights into the extraction dynamics and sensory quality of full immersion brewed coffee and opens new brewing avenues for the coffee industry.
Multi-modal transformer architecture for medical image analysis and automated report generation
Authors: Raminedi Santhosh , Shridevi S. , Won Daehan
Published: August 2024

Medical practitioners examine medical images, such as X-rays, write reports based on the findings, and provide conclusive statements. Manual interpretation of the results and report generation by examiners are time-consuming processes that lead to potential delays in diagnosis. We propose an automated report generation model for medical images leveraging an encoder–decoder architecture. Our model utilizes transformer architectures, including Vision Transformer (ViT) and its variants like Data Efficient Image Transformer (DEiT) and BERT pre-training image transformer (BEiT), as an encoder. These transformers are adapted for processing to extract and gain visual information from medical images. Reports are transformed into text embeddings, and the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT2) model is used as a decoder to generate medical reports. Our model utilizes a cross-attention mechanism between the vision transformer and GPT2, which enables it to create detailed and coherent medical reports based on the visual information extracted by the encoder. In our model, we have extended the report generation with general knowledge, which is independent of the inputs and provides a comprehensive report in a broad sense. We conduct our experiments on the Indiana University X-ray dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of our models. Generated medical reports from the model are evaluated using word overlap metrics such as Bleu scores, Rouge-L, retrieval augmentation answer correctness, and similarity metrics such as skip thought cs, greedy matching, vector extrema, and RAG answer similarity. Results show that our model is performing better than the recurrent models in terms of report generation, answer similarity, and word overlap metrics. By automating the report generation process and incorporating advanced transformer architectures and general knowledge, our approach has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical image analysis and report generation.
Optimal routing and end-to-end entanglement distribution in quantum networks
Authors: Halder Joy , Rajabov Akhmadjon , Bassoli Riccardo , Fitzek Frank H. P. , Fettweis Gerhard P.
Published: August 2024

Quantum networks are designed to transmit quantum bits (qubits) among quantum devices to enable new network resources for the applications. Entanglement distribution and entanglement swapping are fundamental procedures that are required in several network operations. However, they are probabilistic operations, which can lead to severe network performance degradation. This article investigates the engineering problem of resource allocation in quantum networks, considering factors like entanglement distribution probability, quantum memory characteristics, and fidelity. We model this as an optimization model to obtain an optimal solution. In particular, we formulate an integer linear programming (ILP) and develop a heuristic algorithm, aiming to minimize the number of required entangled qubit pairs (Bell pairs or EPR pairs) in any adjacent pair in the quantum network. Extensive simulations are performed to compare the performance of proposed ILP and heuristic. In all the cases, the heuristic produces a comparable solution to the optimal one. Simulation results ensure that the value of maximum utilized Bell pairs in a quantum network highly depends on the value of the probability of entangled pairs established, considering the time in the quantum memory besides the number of incoming requests.

Authors: Duarte Marcos Elias , Kim Sung Woo
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to determine the effects of Saccharomyces yeast postbiotics on cell turnover, immune responses, and oxidative stress in the jejunal mucosa of pigs. Thirty-two newly weaned pigs at 6.05 ± 0.24 kg were assigned to two dietary treatments based on a randomized complete block design. The treatments were control group receiving a basal diet and a group supplemented with Saccharomyces yeast postbiotics (175 g/ton diet) in the basal diet. After 35 d of the study, pigs were euthanized and jejunal mucosa were collected to assess immune status, oxidative stress, barrier markers, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Saccharomyces yeast postbiotics reduced (P < 0.05) the fecal score from d 3 to d 7 and tended to increase the gene expression of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (P = 0.071) and mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) (P = 0.080), decrease the gene expression of B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein 1 (BAX1) (P < 0.05), tended to decrease the gene expression of serum and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1 (SGK1) (P = 0.066), increased (P < 0.05) cell proliferation in the crypts, and tended to increase the villus height (P = 0.078) and crypt depth (P = 0.052) in the jejunum. In conclusion, the supplementation of Saccharomyces yeast postbiotics in nursery diets reduced diarrhea within the first week after weaning and provided protection to the villi in the jejunum by enhancing the immune responses of nursery pigs, promoting crypt cell proliferation, and reducing the expression of genes associated with apoptosis without affecting inflammatory and oxidative stress status in the jejunum of the nursery pigs.
Interplay of atmosphere and ocean amplifies summer marine extremes in the Barents Sea at different timescales
Authors: Eisbrenner Ezra , Chafik Léon , Åslund Oskar , Döös Kristofer , Muchowski Julia C.
Published: August 2024

Marine extremes are recognized to cause severe ecosystem and socioeconomic impacts. However, in polar regions, such as the Barents Sea, the driving mechanisms of these extremes remain poorly understood and require careful consideration of the observed long-term ocean warming. Here we show that on short time scales of a few days, marine heatwaves and marine cold spells are dynamically driven by a dipole atmospheric circulation pattern between the Nordic Seas and the Barents Sea. Importantly, the dipole’s eastern component determines anomalies in shortwave radiation and latent heat fluxes. On interannual time scales, both changes in ocean heat supply and persistent atmospheric patterns can support severe marine extremes. We apply conventional marine heatwave detection methodology to OISSTv2 data, for the period of 1982–2021, and combine the analysis with ERA5 data to identify drivers. The ocean-atmosphere interplay across scales provides valuable information that can be integrated into fisheries and ecosystem management frameworks.

Authors: Anayochukwu Ani Vincent
Published: August 2024

The sizing of the energy components is essentially designed to prevent outages and ensuring the reliability of the power supply. This paper focuses on the development of a stand-alone photovoltaic/battery/fuel cell power system considering the demand of load, generating power, and effective multi-storage strategy using a probabilistic sizing algorithm. A computer program was developed and used in the design of component sizing configuration of a stand-alone power system that comprises of a photovoltaic generator (PV), battery, water electrolyzer, a storage gas tank, a fuel cell, and an inverter for a reliable power supply. This program manages the energy flow through the various components of a stand-alone PV/battery/fuel cell power system and provide an optimal technical configuration. The optimum system configuration of a residential building with daily power demands of 69 kWh/day energy consumption is composed of PV arrays resulting in total rated power of 15 kW, 16 units of 6 V, 225 Ah battery bank, 5.5 kW fuel cell, 5.5 kW Water Electrolysis, 16.5 kg hydrogen tank, and a 5.5 kW inverter. Based on the simulation results conducted, it was shown that the sizing and development of a stand-alone PV/battery/FC energy system have been achieved with system reliability (loss of power supply equal to zero). This program could be used as a power monitoring and control system for a stand-alone PV/battery/fuel cell power system.

Environmental issues through a metaphorical lens
Authors: Rudenko Elena , Morozova Yanina
Published: August 2024

The paper explores the persuasive power of the metaphorical model “Ecopolitics is a religion” within a popular science book Schluss mit der Ökomoral! Wie wir die Welt retten, ohne ständig daran zu denken by Dr. Michael Kopatz. The specific cross-domain mapping gives rise to numerous metaphorical expressions that preserve the emotional spectrum linked to the concepts within the source domain (religion). Religion is deeply engrained in society, culture, and history, and therefore elicits strong emotional responses. This allows for the opportunity to shape attitudes and behaviours towards the environment and provides a way to structure our understanding of ecopolitics. The results of the study show that the metaphorical model “Ecopolitics is a religion” is represented by frames “The Ten Commandments”, “Redemption” and “Texts”, whose multilevel interaction possesses the potential to heighten ecological awareness. The author concludes that religious metaphors imply more peaceful inclusive approaches to environmental issues, as opposed to martial metaphors, but should be selected carefully to avoid the development of counterproductive perceptions that diminish their persuasive impact.

Authors: Tyutyunnik Marina , Bagdasaryan Tatyana , Kaneeva Anna
Published: August 2024

This article is devoted to the study of some linguistic and stylistic features of the English and Russian-language song discourse. The study is based on examples taken from the rock band songs. The lyrics of the songs were analyzed for the use of such a linguistic means of expression as metaphor. Research has shown that both Russian and English-speaking authors often use this linguo-stylistic means of expressiveness during the writing of their musical works to give euphony, a special expressive coloring and to convey their emotional state. It was revealed that song lyrics are an important element of musical culture and can convey to listeners not only musical, but also socio-political and philosophical ideas, while using various metaphorical constructions to give a vivid image. The article considers the impact on the imagination, emotions of the Russian and English-speaking listener through the use of metaphor and how this linguistic means draws attention to a certain feature of the described phenomenon and reflects the author’s attitude to the text.

English adjectives of similarity: A corpus study of their determiner/modifier status
Authors: Dolmatova Olesya
Published: August 2024

This paper investigates the determiner/modifier distinction issue. As reference grammars tend to define determiners and modifiers very vaguely especially in neighbouring cases there is a need for more formal rule together with obligatory semantic constraint. The left-hand periphery of English noun phrases is of strict order: determination zone precedes the modification zone (from left to right), so determiners go before the adjectival string. As the determination zone precedes the modification one it is assumed that only modifiers can be preceded by adjectives. The adjectives of similarity are tested in this way. The corpus-based analysis results in fixing possible adjectives accompanying the adjectives of similarity on their left. It is claimed that no adjective of similarity can be considered as a determiner.

In this article we have summarized theoretical provisions about the essence and level of development of communication skills as the basis for the adaptation of younger schoolchildren in the educational environment. The article also discusses the child’s problem - the ability to interact with other children, especially if they are representatives of different cultures, it is difficult to adapt to educational activities and study regularly. Also, interaction in the conditions of a collective educational process is ensured due to the required level of development of communication between the student and his peers. This communication is inextricably linked with one of the main components of the educational process: educational action. It is taken into account that the mechanism of pedagogical support for a student in the educational space includes a pedagogical element direct communication. It covers the entire system of social life and represents an image of educational activity and indicates the level of social development of society. Pedagogical assistance should be considered as assistance in self-knowledge (knowledge of national culture, multicultural identification and the formation of ethnic self- awareness). It helps to solve problems during educational activities in a multicultural environment and protect the rights of the child.

Published: August 2024

This article is devoted to the consideration of a quiz as an activation of an effective means of student activity in classes of various non-philological specialties. Intellectual games in various forms remain relevant for teaching students; they help increase learning motivation and develop communication skills. It is noted that the quiz is one of the most effective types of work in classes in the disciplines “Russian language and culture of speech”, “Business Russian language” for enhancing the educational and cognitive activity of students. Motivating students to learn is an important element in the classroom. The article emphasizes that the use of quizzes in classes for students of non-philological fields ensures repetition of the studied lexical and grammatical material, deepening knowledge on the topic, development of communicative competence, enhances motivation to study speech formulas of etiquette, cultivates such personality qualities as determination, sociability, resourcefulness and persistence.
Resistance, regulation, and governmentality: interrogating the defunding of homeopathy in France and England (2000 to 2022)
Authors: Ashworth Michael , Cloatre Emilie
Published: August 2024

This paper employs a governmentality framework to explore resistance by CAM sceptics to homeopathy’s partial settlement in the public health systems of England and France, resulting in its defunding in both countries in 2018 and 2021, respectively. While partly dependent upon long-standing problematisations (namely, that homeopathy’s ability to heal is unproven, its mechanisms implausible, and its consequences for patients potentially dangerous), the defunding of homeopathy was also driven by the conduct of CAM sceptics, who undermined homeopathy’s position in strikingly different ways in both contexts. This difference, we suggest, is a consequence of the diverging regulatory arrangements surrounding homeopathy (and CAMs more generally) in England and France—and the ambivalent effects of CAM’s regulation. If law and regulation have been a key component of CAM’s integration and (partial) acceptance over the past four decades, the fortunes of homeopathy in England and France highlight their unpredictability as techniques of governmentality: just as the formal regulatory systems in England and France have helped to normalise homeopathy in different ways, they have also incited and galvanised opposition, providing specific anchor-points for resistance by CAM sceptics.
Dynamic reflectivity of an opto-acoustic three-layer transducer for picosecond ultrasonic measurements
Authors: Le Ridant Louise , Ponge Marie-Fraise , Audoin Bertrand
Published: August 2024

We present an analysis of a three-layered structure used for both launching and detecting picosecond acoustic waves. To enhance the optical sensitivity to the acoustic disturbances, a cavity is designed, which acts as a Fabry–Perot interferometer. We use analytic modeling based on dual optical and acoustic transfer matrix formalism to analyze the coupled optical and acoustic wave propagation. Assuming a three-layer transducer made of an optical cavity sandwiched between two thin metallic layers, the model allows for mastering of the coupled optical and acoustic responses, which leads to an optimum design of the structure, and it highlights the various acoustic contributions to the reflectivity changes. The sensitivity of this three-layered structure to acoustic disturbances is compared to the numerical predictions we performed for the standard opto-acoustic transducer made of a single metallic layer.

To explore the confinement of high-energy ions above the space charge limit, we have developed a hybrid magnetic and electrostatic confinement device called an Orbitron. The Orbitron is a crossed-field device combining aspects of magnetic mirrors, magnetrons, and orbital ion traps. Ions are confined in orbits around a high-voltage cathode with co-rotating electrons confined by a relatively weak magnetic field. Experimental and computational investigations focus on reaching ion densities above the space charge limit through the co-confinement of electrons. The experimental apparatus and suite of diagnostics are being developed to measure the critical parameters, such as plasma density, particle energy, and fusion rate for high-energy, non-thermal plasma conditions in the Orbitron. Initial results from experimental and computational efforts have revealed the need for cathode voltages on the order of 100–300 kV, leading to the development of a custom high voltage, ultra-high vacuum bushing rated for 300 kV.
Computational study of Newtonian laminar annular horizontal displacement flows with rotating inner cylinder
Authors: Sotoudeh Sophia , Frigaard Ian A.
Published: August 2024

We computationally study the effects of inner cylinder rotation on the laminar displacement flow of two Newtonian fluids along a horizontal eccentric annulus. This flow arises in primary cementing operations in the oil and gas industry, used to seal wells and prevent leakage. We investigate how the rotational motion of the inner cylinder influences the displacement, affecting the interplay of viscosity and density differences, as well as eccentricity. We first simulate a series of experiments recently performed, in order to validate the computational approach. We then study the effects of the rotating inner cylinder in more detail. The rotation shears the fluid in the narrow annular gap and also drags fluid around the annulus, typically resulting in helical streamlines and a spiral pattern of the concentration. Over short timescales, the rotation tends to increase dispersion, but the redistribution of the fluids around the annulus can then improve the overall displacement, i.e., reducing slumping effects due to buoyancy. We also observe a new patterning instability at the inner cylinder, which was not visible in the previous experiments. This instability arises from destabilization of the wall film of displaced fluid, which forms naturally on the walls of the annular gap. We have studied the dimensional parameter space where this instability occurs. Strong buoyancy can suppress the instability, and a threshold value of dimensionless rotation velocity is required for onset of the instability.

This study employs two-temperature molecular dynamics simulations to investigate swift heavy ion irradiation of SiO2 substrate-supported two-dimensional material graphene. Material-dependent electronic and thermal properties are integrated into each region to model the energy transfer between the electronic and atomic subsystems of the studied materials. Simulations of interactions with Xe heavy ions are performed with ion kinetic energies ranging from 0.5 to 25 GeV with electronic stopping powers from ∼2.6 to 17.7 keV/nm. With the studied ion energy range, nanopores with a diameter of up to 5 nm can be formed in graphene due to the thermally driven sputtering effect, while amorphization occurs along the ion track in the SiO2 substrate. The coupling between the substrate and two-dimensional material significantly impacts the structural change due to heat transfer and atomic interactions among different layers of materials. The method applied in this work provides a valuable tool for modeling and understanding the structural modifications induced by ion irradiation in layered structures.
