Phase space analysis and cosmography of a two-fluid cosmological model
Authors: Mandal Goutam , Biswas Sujay Kr 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the framework of spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) space-time, we investigate a two-fluid cosmological model where a tachyon scalar field with self-interacting potential and a modified chaplygin gas with non-linear equation of state are taken as the background fluids. We perform phase space analysis of the autonomous system obtained from the cosmological governing equations by a suitable transformation of variables. Linear stability theory is employed to characterise the stability criteria for hyperbolic critical points. Numerical investigation is carried out for non-hyperbolic points. Our study reveals that modified chaplygin fluid dominated solutions cannot provide the late-time evolution. Late-time accelerated evolution is obtained only when the solution is dominated by tachyon fluid. This study also yields a late-time scaling attractor providing similar order of energy densities in its evolution. The adiabatic sound speed is evaluated for both the fluids and test the stability of the models independently. Further, we perform cosmographic analysis in the model independent way by evaluating all the cosmographic parameters and then Om diagnostic is also found to compare our model with ΛCDM model.
Using relativistic effects in large-scale structure to constrain astrophysical properties of galaxy populations
Authors: Blanco Daniel Sobral , Bonvin Camille , Clarkson Chris , Maartens Roy 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Upcoming large-scale structure surveys will be able to measure new features in the galaxy two point correlation function. Relativistic effects appear on large scales as subtle corrections to redshift-space distortions, showing up as a dipole and octupole when cross-correlating two different tracers of dark matter.
The dipole and octupole are very sensitive to the evolution and magnification biases of the observed tracers which are hard to model accurately as they depend upon the derivative of the luminosity function at the flux limit of the survey.
We show that splitting a galaxy population into bright and faint samples allows us to cross-correlate these and constrain both the evolution bias and magnification bias of the two samples — using the relativistic odd multipoles of the correlation function, together with the even Newtonian multipoles.
Although the octupole has much lower signal-to-noise than the dipole, it significantly improves the constraints by breaking parameter degeneracies.
We illustrate this in the case of a futuristic survey with the Square Kilometre Array, and demonstrate how splitting the samples in different ways can help improve constraints.
This method is quite general and can be used on different types of tracers to improve knowledge of their luminosity functions. Furthermore, the signal-to-noise of the dipole and octupole peaks on intermediate scales, which means that they can deliver a clean measurement of the magnification bias and evolution bias without contamination from local primordial non-Gaussianities or from systematics on very large scales.

Abstract
Currently, polypropylene (PP) has been widely used for various purposes because of its superior properties, such as being easy to form, meltable, resistant to fat, oil, and corrosion. The uses of PP for daily purposes include containers, bottles, bottle caps, bowls, plastic bags, kitchen utensils, and casing makers. However, PP has the disadvantage of being difficult to degrade. Therefore, we must mix PP with biodegradable polymers like poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). The goal of this research is to create PP/PCL polyblend which can be biodegraded in soil waste media. The PCL used was obtained from the polymerization of ε-CL with a zirconium bis(β-diketonate) complex catalyst. The mixture of PP and PCL was varied using a solvent with a formulation of 10:0; and 10:4. The addition of PCL to each formulation is carried out to enhance the biodegradability properties of PP/PCL polyblend. The results of the biodegradability test showed that the PP/PCL polyblend degraded faster than pure PP in soil waste media for 60 days.
Spinning up the spool: massive spinning fields in 3d quantum gravity
Authors: Bourne Robert , Castro Alejandra , Fliss Jackson R 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
We show how to incorporate massive spinning fields into the Euclidean path integral of three-dimensional quantum gravity via its Chern–Simons formulation. The coupling of the spinning fields to gravity is captured by a Wilson spool, a collection of Wilson loops winding around closed paths of the geometry, and generalizes the proposal of Castro et al (2023 J. High Energy Phys. JHEP07(2023)120; Phys. Rev. Lett.
131 171602). We present a robust derivation of the Wilson spool by providing a new group-theoretic perspective of the quasinormal mode method for one-loop determinants. We test our proposal on Euclidean BTZ and S
3 backgrounds. We also evaluate explicitly the quantum corrections to the path integral on S
3, and report on how GN
and the mass are renormalized to leading order in perturbation theory.
Effect of pupal cooling on the growth period of pupae, adults, and egg production of Eri Silkworm Samia cynthia ricini

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Samia cynthia ricini is a type of silkworm with a high reproductive capacity. Population management is a strategic step that can be taken to carry out mass multiplication activities effectively, efficiently, and support a sustainable production system. Population management can be done by modifying the egg or pupal stages. This research intends to examine the effect of pupal cooling on the growth period of pupae and adults of S. c. ricini and its fecundity. The study was conducted by cooling the pupae of S. c. ricini for 1-7 days at five-degree Celsius. After that, the pupae are maintained at room temperature until they become adults and die. The results showed that cooling time could delay the pupal stage by up to 8 days. However, it does not affect adults’ growth period or fecundity.
The influence of dregs age and addition of decomposer and biochar in the production of palm sugar tree stem dregs as bio-compost
Authors: Sarjiyah  , Aini L N , Hamdani M R 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The composting process of palm sugar tree stem dregs into bio-compost takes an extended time and produces compost with inconsistent qualities. The duration of burying the palm tree dregs plays a significant role in the time needed for its decomposing process. The current study evaluated the duration of burying (dregs age), decomposer, and biochar in producing palm tree stem dregs into bio-compost. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design in an experimental approach. The dregs maturation level (fresh (MF) and mature (MM)), decomposer application (added (D1) and not (D0)), and biochar addition (added (B1) and not (B0)) were varied to obtain eight treatment groups. Physical (temperature, moisture content, and color) and chemical (total carbon, organic matter, and total nitrogen) were measured in triplicates. The study found no significant effect of dregs age, decomposer, and biochar on the produced compost’s physical attributes. However, shorter compost burial duration, regardless of the decomposer and biochar addition, results in improved chemical characteristics in bio-compost, as evident in the higher total N content.
Anthelmintic potential of Swietenia mahagoni seed waste against Haemonchus contortus in Indonesian small ruminant

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The infection cases of Haemonchus contortus are hindering the productivity of ruminant livestock in Indonesia. This issue is exacerbated by the high incidence of resistance due to the use of chemical drugs. This study aimed to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of aqueous extracts of seed [AES] of S. mahagoni seeds against Haemonchus contortus. Separate petri dishes (50 mm) were prepared with AES of S. mahagoni at concentrations of 0 (control negative), 5 and 10%, alongside albendazole (2 mg/ml) as the positive control. Twenty H. contortus worms were then placed in each dish and incubated at 37°C for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 12 hours. Mortality of the worms was confirmed by pressing their bodies with tweezers and immersing them in lukewarm water for 5 minutes to ensure death. The time of mortality for each worm was recorded. Subsequently, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the parasites at an accelerating voltage of 15 Kv. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 21.0 software, and descriptive analysis of the standard error of mean was performed. The qualitative analysis of the AES of S. mahagoni revealed the presence of active compounds such as tannin, flavonoid, alkaloid, saponin, and steroid, while quantitative analysis showed total phenol content of 11.7 mg GAE/g dw, flavonoid content of 5.3 mg RE/g dw, and total tannin content of 8.9%. The results indicated that the aqueous extract of Swietenia mahagoni seeds exhibited significant anthelmintic activity, achieving 100% mortality in the in vitro test against H. contortus after 6 hours, compared to the positive control which required (2 mg/ml) after 2 hours. SEM analysis revealed damage to the buccal area and cuticle structure of the worms treated with AES of S. mahagoni. The conclusion of this study is that the AES of S. mahagoni successfully kills H. contortus effectively and could serve as a solution to the prevalent issue of resistance.
Atom interferometer as a freely falling clock for time-dilation measurements
Authors: Roura Albert 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Light-pulse atom interferometers based on single-photon transitions are a promising tool for gravitational-wave detection in the mid-frequency band and the search for ultralight dark-matter fields. Here we present a novel measurement scheme that enables their use as freely falling clocks directly measuring relativistic time-dilation effects. The proposal is particularly timely because it can be implemented with no additional requirements in Fermilab’s MAGIS-100 experiment or even in the 10 m prototypes that are expected to start operating very soon. This will allow the unprecedented measurement of gravitational time dilation in a local experiment with freely falling atoms, which is beyond reach even for the best atomic-fountain clocks based on microwave transitions. The results are supported by a comprehensive treatment of relativistic effects in this kind of interferometer as well as a detailed analysis of the main systematic effects. Furthermore, the theoretical methods developed here constitute a valuable tool for modelling light-pulse atom interferometers based on single-photon transitions in general.
Efficiency improvement and the carbon-reduction effects of transport restructuring in China
Authors: Xiao Wenjun , Wu Dan , Liu Li , Cheng Ziye 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The growth rate of transportation sector’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is rigid, making it difficult to reduce emissions, especially for developing countries. The existing literature has not yet fully investigated the CO2 emissions reduction effect of transportation structural adjustment from the perspective of improving productivity, which is defined by total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) in this study. To close this knowledge gap, we first evaluated the TFEE of the transportation sector as a whole and its sub-sectors in 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2021 based on the parallel data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and then estimated the energy conservation and emissions reduction potentials brought about by the optimization of the transportation structure based on the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) model. The main results show: (1) TFEEs vary greatly across sub-sectors and provinces, with provinces performing differently across sub-sectors. (2) Compared with the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, the structure enhancement (SE) scenario of structural adjustment can cumulatively reduce CO2 emissions by 289.20 Mt by 2030. (3) In the SE scenario, the energy demand will peak in 2026 and the CO2 emissions will peak at 1509.55 MT in 2027. These results indicate that the CO2 reduction from the transportation restructuring (structural effect) can exceed the increase in CO2 emissions following an increase in transportation activity (scale effect) and eventually bring down the total CO2 emissions for the transportation sector, despite the TFEE rankings of the subsector varying across regions. Therefore, policies that value regions with large volumes, a high share of road transport, and well-established infrastructure, can achieve greater potential to reduce carbon emissions.
Bodies Blending
Authors: de Harven Vanessa 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 offers a thorough rehabilitation of the Stoic theory of blending (krasis di’ holou), the physical mechanism by which the Stoics build their cosmos out of two fundamental bodies, the principles (archai): divine, active reason (logos) and passive matter (hulē). It argues that Stoic blending is committed to the strong colocation of bodies that our sources report and that this is no paradoxical result, as scholars have long thought and sought to avoid, but a perfectly coherent result of the Stoic commitment to body as malleable mass. With varying degrees of rarity and density and an interactive conception of resistance (antitupia) as repercussion and push-back rather than ricochet, Stoic bodies can interpenetrate and coextend completely while remaining intact and independent of each other. This strict colocation of Stoic bodies is a feature, not a bug to be explained away or deflated.
Limits

Abstract
Chapter 13 begins the case in support of a third class of Something, what is neither corporeal nor incorporeal, which subsists according to thought (kat’ epinoian). These entities are akin in being pure products of thought, corresponding to nothing in the physical world—there are no geometrical (i.e. perfect) cones or pyramids in the world; nor are there any minutes or seconds in the world, or Fahrenheits, nor centaurs and giants. To be Something according to thought (kat’ epinoian) is to be a social construct, a figment of the imagination that takes on a public life of its own through the words and drawings that depict it, becoming Something about which we can say true and false things. Thus, the evergreen question whether the surfaces of a cut geometrical cone are equal or unequal does not arise for the Stoics, because the cone is neither corporeal nor incorporeal, with no dimensions at all.
The Intuition of Distinctness and Some of Its Manifestations
Authors: Melnyk Andrew 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that hypothesizing that people have the intuition of distinctness can account for certain otherwise puzzling attitudes manifested in debates both inside and outside philosophy about whether physicalism (or materialism) can accommodate phenomenal properties (or qualia). Specifically, it argues that the intuition of distinctness can plausibly be invoked to explain why some philosophers and non-philosophers take an otherwise inexplicably dismissive or uncomprehending attitude toward physicalism, claiming to find it self-evidently false or unintelligible; why many philosophers experience a second and more widely discussed intuition about phenomenal properties, the intuition of revelation; why many philosophers feel that there is an “explanatory gap” between our physical states and our phenomenal states; and why some philosophers resist powerful objections to standard anti-physicalist arguments (the knowledge argument and the zombie argument) on rather obscure grounds.
Previous Accounts of the Intuition of Distinctness
Authors: Melnyk Andrew 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter critically examines earlier theories intended to explain, or plausibly regarded as able to explain, consistently with physicalism (or materialism), why we have the intuition of distinctness. We experience the intuition of distinctness when, for example, we attend introspectively to the phenomenal redness of a current visual sensation, and it seems to us that that very property could not literally be a physical property of neural activity in our brain. Though the chapter concludes that none of the theories examined adequately accounts for the intuition of distinctness, it leaves open the possibility that they have something to contribute to accounting for a more general aversion to physicalism about phenomenal properties (or qualia).
Knowledge and ignorance
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the picture of knowledge in Proust’s novel. As Proust’s narrator sees it, it is very difficult to get an accurate picture of the world, of other people, or of ourselves. More than that, an accurate picture isn’t always what we want, since our illusions, projections, and subjective distortions are often more valuable to us. In spite of this, there are cases where it helps to know, and some ingenious strategies to let us get closer to the truth: we can use intellect to correct intuition, work back from our own behavior, and take a good look at other people’s style. Could this be effective even when it comes to love?
True self and total self
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the question of personal identity in Proust. What the narrator is looking for, it suggests, is a self that is “individual, identical, and permanent”: a sense of identity, that is, equipped with a locus of relative distinction, a degree of coherence in a moment, and a measure of wholeness across time. In other words, you need to be the same as yourself, not completely identical to the entire human species, and with a life story that hangs together. This chapter explains why such an achievement would be so important, why it’s so difficult, and how Proust’s narrator thinks we can pull it off, thanks in part to the “true self” and to the magic of narrative. There are plenty of caveats, but the method proposed promises us a genuine sense, albeit partial and provisional, of who we really are.
Why a novel?
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the question of why, given all his philosophical interests, Proust chose to write a novel and not a treatise. Drawing in part on what Proust’s narrator says about fictional novelist Bergotte, fictional painter Elstir, and fictional composer Vinteuil, it suggests a number of effects the experience of reading In Search of Lost Time can have on us, precisely because it is a novel. We stand, first, to learn about ourselves; second, to gain a clearer feeling of what it’s like to mishear a sound, misperceive a face, remember involuntarily, and meander toward the truth; third, to feel our way into powerful formal models for the shape of our lives; and last but not least, to be trained in some valuable mental habits. As we make our way through this long, beautiful, and complicated novel, with its twists, turns, contradictions, deliberate errors, and intricate sentences, we get practice in storing material under advisement, reasoning probabilistically, revising earlier assessments, and thinking twice. Specific formal devices prompt particular forms of engagement, and those forms of engagement fine-tune our mental capacities. In Search of Lost Time could not have been an article, treatise, or textbook; it had to be a novel.

Abstract
N-nitrosamine impurities have been detected in a vast variety of drug substances and drug products, showing concern for regulatory aspects. To meet the regulatory requirement for the concerned impurity, a sensitive analytical method capable of quantifying these impurities at a lower level with accuracy and precision is required. This article focuses on the development and validation of an analytical method for the simultaneous detection of nine nitrosamine impurities in a single method for nebivolol drug product using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LC-MS/MS-APCI). The chromatographic separation was performed using the LC-MS column Allure BiPh C18 (250 × 4.6 mm), 5 μm employed a gradient mode elution program using 0.002 M Ammonium acetate buffer pH 4.5 as mobile phase A and methanol as mobile phase B. The method was challenged for accuracy, precision and linearity in accordance with International Council for Harmonization guidelines to ensure its suitability for the intended usage. The developed method was specific, accurate and linear with square of correlation coefficient (r2) found to be greater than 0.99 (0.9970–0.9992). The LOQ obtained in the range of 9.85–19.62 ppb for nine nitrosamines showed good sensitivity. The results demonstrated that method can be applied to quantify the nitrosamines in nebivolol drug products.

ABSTRACT

Background
This study aims to investigate the spectrum and prognosis of membranous nephropathy (MN) in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS).

Methods
SS patients with biopsy-proven kidney involvement who were diagnosed at our center between April 2007 and February 2024 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.

Results
A total of 290 SS patients with kidney involvement were enrolled. The frequency of MN increased from 16.28% during the 2007–2010 period to 44.05% during the 2021–2024 period. After 2016, MN became the most common renal pathologic type, surpassing tubulointerstitial nephritis. PLA2R antibody or antigen was detected in 74 SS-MN patients, in whom 37 (50%) showed a negative result. Within the PLA2R-negative group, five out of 15 showed positivity for EXT1/EXT2 antigen and one out of eight for THSD7A antigen. Sixty-one SS patients with MN were followed up for &gt;6 months, and 44 (72.13%) of them achieved renal complete remission (CR). Compared with PLA2R-negative patients, PLA2R-positive patients spent a longer time to achieve CR (1.46 ± 1.16 vs. 0.74 ± 0.47 years, P = .015) and had a higher rate of progression to the renal endpoint (8/32 vs. 1/29, P = .028). After adjusting for age, proteinuria, and eGFR, Cox regression analysis showed that PLA2R positivity remained a risk factor for CR [HR = 0.511, 95% CI (0.262 to 0.998), P = .049].

Conclusions
MN has become the predominant renal pathologic type in SS. PLA2R-positivity testing followed by EXT1/EXT2 and THSD7A testing is recommended for SS-MN patients. Although most patients can achieve renal CR, the prognosis is usually poor in PLA2R-positive SS-MN patients.
