Exact solution for the thermo-elastic deformation and stress states of FG rotating spherical body
Authors: Sahu Rakesh Kumar , Sondhi Lakshman , Bhowmick Shubhankar , Thawait Amit Kumar 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this paper, a generalized solution for 1-D steady-state mechanical and thermal deformation and stresses in rotating hollow functionally graded spherical body is presented. Spherical shells are treated under mechanical and thermal loads in the form of rotational body force with heat generation. Temperature distribution is assumed to vary along the radial direction due to variable heat generation. General uniform mechanical boundary condition at inner and outer surfaces along with prescribed temperatures at both the ends are assumed as boundary conditions. In the present study, material properties are taken as power function of radius with grading parameter ranging between −2 to 3. Governing differential equation with variable coefficient is developed and solved to find deformation and stresses. The obtained results are verified with benchmark results and are found to be in good agreement. Results show that deformation and stresses decrease with an increase in the value of grading parameter and are less as compared to the homogeneous body.

The treatment of Taoist terms in Chinese-English dictionaries: a study based on Frame Semantics
Authors: Ma Shan 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This study argues for a frame semantic approach to the treatment of Taoist terms, which are Chinese culture-specific. It takes three Taoist aesthetic terms 虚(xu), 无(wu) and 静(jing) as a case study to explore how Chinese-English dictionaries can make use of semantic frames in the treatment of Taoist terms. As the study shows, a Taoist-aesthetics frame can be constructed in comparison with the Aesthetics
frame in FrameNet. When treating Taoist terms, the core frame element “Entity” facilitates the meaning explanation by making the terms more intelligible. The non-core frame element “Circumstances” should be highlighted as it helps the dictionary to provide a more accurate definition of Taoist terms.
Translational Challenges in Cross-Cultural Digitization Ethics: The Case of Chinese Marriage Documents, 1909–1997
Authors: Ma Rongqian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Digitization of archival materials has gained global popularity as both practice in cultural heritage institutions and a scholarly topic. However, ethical issues involved in digitization, especially the challenges brought by cross-cultural archival digitization practices, have been only weakly explored. In the domain of Asian Studies librarianship in the United States, digitizing archive materials acquired from Asian countries in academic and research libraries has facilitated Asian Studies research, but also brought up ethical concerns of inappropriately translating the original culture for new audiences. This paper treats digitization as a translational device bridging cultural contexts, public audiences, and personal accounts, as well as openness and privacy. Focusing on the unique open-access digital archival collection The Chinese Marriage Documents (1909–1997) at the University of Pittsburgh as a case study, I examine crucial cross-cultural ethics involved in the digitization process and discuss best practices to digitize and disseminate culturally sensitive archives ethically.
Reassessing the third person pronominal “copula” in spoken Israeli Hebrew
Authors: Shor Leon 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis paper reassesses the widespread claim in Hebrew linguistics that the medial third person pronoun in the “subject NP + pronoun + predicate” construction in Israeli Hebrew functions either as copula, or as a referential subject in an extrapositional sentence. Based on the examination of this construction in Hebrew conversation, as represented in The Corpus of Spoken Israeli Hebrew (CoSIH), and based on theoretical considerations, the paper argues that the distinction between copular and referential uses of medial third person pronouns is not justified, leading to the conclusion that apparent “copular” third person pronouns are in fact a second realization of the subject referent, and that sentences containing such pronouns are better viewed as cases of subject doubling. This paper positions subject doubling in the context of typology and language acquisition, and argues for the need to analyze it using natural data, focusing on speaker- and listener- oriented motivations.

This paper first presents a historical account of the origin of the Coase Theorem. It then elaborates its significance in explaining the working of economic institutions. After expounding the concepts of transaction cost and rent dissipation, it points out an error in the Coase Theorem. Lastly, the paper propounds the Theorem of Transaction Costs Substitution as an extended and general version of the Coase Theorem.
Magnetically recoverable nanostructured Pd complex of dendrimeric type ligand on the MCM-41: Preparation, characterization and catalytic activity in the Heck reaction
Authors: Abdollahi-Alibeik Mohammad , Gharibpour Najmeh , Ramazani Zahra 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
A palladium complex of a dendrimer type ligand of aminoethylacrylamide immobilized onto the mesoporous channels of MCM-41 with magnetic core was prepared and characterized using various techniques such as XRD, TEM, BET, FT-IR, TGA, and VSM. The prepared nanostructured material was found as a magnetically recoverable catalyst for Heck reaction of aryl halides and vinylic C–H. The catalyst is easily recoverable with an external magnet and is reusable with different leaching amounts depending to loading of Pd. A hot filtration test was also performed and gave evidence that Palladium in heterogeneous samples can dissolve and then redeposit on the surface of the support material.
»Schuld, Gefährlichkeit und Verantwortlichkeit« – Sichtweise des Strafrechts
Authors: Radtke Henning 
Published: November 2020

Zusammenfassung
Auf einem von freier Selbstbestimmung geprägten Menschenbild fußend, gibt das Grundgesetz ein strikt auf die Schuld, im Sinne individueller Verantwortlichkeit, des Täters ausgerichtetes Strafrecht vor. Der freiheitssichernde Charakter des Schuldstrafrechts beschränkt allerdings die Möglichkeiten, prognostizierter zukünftiger Gefährlichkeit eines Täters durch Strafe entgegenzuwirken. Diese Funktion übernimmt die hierfür geschaffene zweite Säule des deutschen Sanktionensystems, bestehend aus Maßregeln der Besserung und Sicherung. Diese dienen der Erfüllung staatlicher Schutzpflichten und werden durch den Grundsatz der Verhältnismäßigkeit begrenzt.
The Virtues of Economic Rescue Legislation: Distributive Justice, Civil Law, and the Troubled Asset Relief Program
Authors: Kuo Henry S. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis study constitutes an ethical analysis through the lens of distributive justice in the case of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which was enacted in the midst of the Great Recession of 2007–2009. It begins by engaging with the visions of justice constructed by John Rawls and Robert Nozick, using their insights to locate the injustices of TARP according to their moral imaginations. However, this study argues that Rawls’ and Nozick’s theories of justice primarily envision the nature of law as being restrictive of vice, not as instructors of virtue. Thus, it resources the legal philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas to demonstrate how the positive pedagogy of law can enable a more just construction of economic rescue legislation, one that not only prevents future repetitions of economic vices and injustice, but is also formative for a society that prizes economic justice and virtues. In doing so, the study proposes two criteria for a more just consideration of economic rescue legislation that embraces law’s positive pedagogy.

Study on influencing factors of photocatalytic performance of CdS/TiO2nanocomposite concrete
Authors: He Kang , Chen Yu , Mei Mengjun 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIn this study, a high-energy ball mill was used to composite nano-TiO2and CdS, and three kinds of nanocomposite photocatalysts TiO2, CdS/TiO2-R400, and CdS/TiO2-R600 were prepared, which can respond to visible light. The photocatalytic concrete test block was prepared by mixing the nanocomposite photocatalyst and other masses with cement by incorporation method. To study the effect of the photocatalyst content on the photocatalytic performance of nanoconcrete, a total of four catalyst contents (0, 2%, 5%, and 8%) were set. The effects of high-temperature treatment (400°C) and different light sources (ultraviolet and visible light) on photocatalytic efficiency were also considered. The results show that the catalytic efficiency of CdS/TiO2-R400 under two light sources is higher than that of the other two photocatalysts. Compared to ultraviolet light sources, the photocatalytic efficiency of CdS/TiO2nanocomposite concrete under visible light is lower, and the efficiency is below 9%. The optimal amounts of CdS/TiO2nanocomposite photocatalyst under ultraviolet and visible light are 2% and 5%, respectively. The high-temperature treatment can improve the photocatalytic performance of CdS/TiO2nanocomposite photocatalyst by 2% to 3%.
Intellectocracy: A 21stCentury Political Ideology
Authors: Kumar Mahendar 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThe research was conducted in order to understand how democracy has been unable to solve current potential issues of the world and what needs to be changed in this regard. A new political system of Intellectocracy has been introduced based upon the philosophy of Szellemiism- which promulgates that an individuals’ right to vote should be decided as per his/her education, experience and knowledge of the environment around him/her whether national or global. The philosophy determines that, individuals are equal by birth but they do create a difference because of their acquired ability to perform in this world. The concept of Intellectocracy understood as a new political system in which, political leaders at any low or higher level must be elected not just based upon one’s personal preference and judgment equally but, through the weighted voting of individual’s understanding, knowledge and experience of the outside world by using the latest technology. The study concluded at the end that the globe is moving towards a difficult terrain hence it needs wise, patient and intelligent leaders in order to solve native and global issues collectively.
Crisis discourse and framework transition in Maimonides’Mishneh Torah
Authors: Michaelis Omer 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIn his works from the past decade, Menachem Fisch offered an analysis of a crucial distinction between two modes of rationalized transformation: an intra-framework transformation and an inter-framework one, the latter entailing a revolutionary shift of the framework itself. In this article, I analyze the attempt to produce such a framework transition in the tradition of Jewish Halakha (i.e., Jewish Law) by one of the key figures in its history, Moses Maimonides (1135–1204), and to explore how this transition was rationalized and promoted by the utilization of crisis discourse. Using discourse analysis, I analyze the introduction to Maimonides’ great legal code, Mishneh Torah, and explore the modes by which he sought to establish, install and stabilize a homogenous and centralistic legal order at the center of which will lie one – that is, his own – Halakhic book.
Chemical and biochemical thermodynamics reunification (IUPAC Technical Report)
Authors: Sabatini Antonio , Borsari Marco , Moss Gerard P. , Iotti Stefano 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
According to the 1994 IUBMB-IUPAC Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (JCBN) on chemical and biochemical reactions, two categories of thermodynamics, based on different concepts and different formalisms, are established: (i) chemical thermodynamics, which employ conventional thermodynamic potentials to deal with chemical reactions [1], [2], [3]; and (ii) biochemical thermodynamics, which employ transformed thermodynamic quantities to deal with biochemical reactions based on the formalism proposed by Alberty [4], [5], [6], [7]. We showed that the two worlds of chemical and biochemical thermodynamics, which so far have been treated separately, can be reunified within the same thermodynamic framework. The thermodynamics of chemical reactions, in which all species are explicitly considered with their atoms and charge balanced, are compared with the transformed thermodynamics generally used to treat biochemical reactions where atoms and charges are not balanced. The transformed thermodynamic quantities suggested by Alberty are obtained by a mathematical transformation of the usual thermodynamic quantities. The present analysis demonstrates that the transformed values for Δr
G′0 and Δr
H′0 can be obtained directly, without performing any transformation, by simply writing the chemical reactions with all the pseudoisomers explicitly included and the elements and charges balanced. The appropriate procedures for computing the stoichiometric coefficients for the pseudoisomers are fully explained by means of an example calculation for the biochemical ATP hydrolysis reaction. It is concluded that the analysis reunifies the “two separate worlds” of conventional thermodynamics and transformed thermodynamics.
Strategic Territorial Power-Sharing and Multi-Party Bargaining in Civil Wars
Authors: Maekawa Wakako 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Territorial power-sharing arrangements in civil wars face trade-offs between broadening inclusions and dangers of secession. This article argues that in civil wars over a government, the commitment problem is overcome as secession is not in its political agenda, however, the central concern pertains to the issues that arise in policymaking. Granting autonomy at the subnational level leads to peace without weakening the central authority. In addition, in bargaining over policies with multiple conflict parties, a government strategically makes concessions of territorial power-sharing to retain the status quo of national policy and positions in the government in a situation where dominance by one party is not attainable. It signals a government’s less resolute attitude in accommodating additional rebel groups. Hence, territorial power-sharing entails positive externality. This article finds that in civil wars over a government, at a dyad level, the positive effects of territorial power-sharing in peace decreases over time. Instead, the likelihood of a peace agreement with another rebel group increases. The results imply that the effectiveness of the autonomy arrangement depends on strategic concessions and broader future inclusions.
On some novel exact solutions to the time fractional (2 + 1) dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky system arising in physical science
Authors: Akhtar Junaid , Seadawy Aly R. , Tariq Kalim U. , Baleanu Dumitru 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to construct some novel exact travelling and solitary wave solutions of the time fractional (2 + 1) dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation, and two different forms of integration schemes have been utilized in this context. As a result, a variety of bright and dark solitons, kink- and antikink-type solitons, hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions, elliptic functions, periodic solitary wave solutions and travelling wave solutions are obtained, and the sufficient conditions for the existence of solution are also discussed. Moreover, some of the obtained solutions are illustrated as two- and three-dimensional graphical images by using computational software Mathematica. These types of solutions have a wide range of applications in applied sciences and mathematical physics. The proposed methods are very useful for solving nonlinear partial differential equations arising in physical science and engineering.
Verbal explanations by collaborating robot teams

Published: November 2020

AbstractIn this article, we present work on collaborating robot teams that use verbal explanations of their actions and intentions in order to be more understandable to the human. For this, we introduce a mechanism that determines what information the robots should verbalize in accordance with Grice’s maxim of quantity, i.e., convey as much information as is required and no more or less. Our setup is a robot team collaborating to achieve a common goal while explaining in natural language what they are currently doing and what they intend to do. The proposed approach is implemented on three Pepper robots moving objects on a table. It is evaluated by human subjects answering a range of questions about the robots’ explanations, which are generated using either our proposed approach or two further approaches implemented for evaluation purposes. Overall, we find that our proposed approach leads to the most understanding of what the robots are doing. In addition, we further propose a method for incorporating policies driving the distribution of tasks among the robots, which may further support understandability.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this work, we tested a recently developed novel methodology to assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) improve their Visual Perspective Taking (VPT) and Theory of Mind (ToM) skills using the humanoid robot Kaspar. VPT is the ability to see the world from another person’s perspective, drawing upon both social and spatial information. Children with ASD often find it difficult to understand that others might have perspectives, viewpoints and beliefs that are different from their own, which is a fundamental aspect of both VPT and ToM. The games we designed were implemented as the first attempt to study if these skills can be improved in children with ASD through interacting with a humanoid robot in a series of trials. The games involved a number of different actions with the common goal of helping the children to see the world from the robot’s perspective. Children with ASD were recruited to the study according to specific inclusion criteria that were determined in a previous pilot study. In order to measure the potential impact of the games on the children, three pre- and post-tests (Smarties, Sally–Anne and Charlie tests) were conducted with the children. Our findings suggest that children with ASD can indeed benefit from this approach of robot-assisted therapy.
Validation of nuclear reaction models for incident α-particles
Authors: Machner Hartmut 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Two different models allowing the calculation of reaction products are confronted with data from α-particle induced reactions. Both models contain a pre-equilibrium part and an equilibrium or compound nucleus part. The models are the exciton model in form of a code written by the author and TALYS. The other model is the intranuclear cascade model in form of the Liege-Saclay formulation incorporated in the PHITS code. The data are angle-integrated proton spectra from reactions with α-particle energies below 720 MeV and excitation functions from multi neutron emission with α-particle energies below 200 MeV.

Abstract
In this study, the fast neutron and gamma-ray absorption capacities of the new glasses have been investigated, which are obtained by doping CoO,CdWO4,Bi2O3, Cr2O3, ZnO, LiF,B2O3 and PbO compounds to SiO2 based glasses. GEANT4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes have been used in the planning of the samples. The glasses were produced using a well-known melt-quenching technique. The effective neutron removal cross-sections, mean free paths, half-value layer, and transmission numbers of the fabricated glasses have been calculated through both GEANT4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes. Experimental neutron absorbed dose measurements have been carried out. It was found that GS4 glass has the best neutron protection capacity among the produced glasses. In addition to neutron shielding properties, the gamma-ray attenuation capacities, were calculated using newly developed Phy-X/PSD software. The gamma-ray shielding properties of GS1 and GS2 are found to be equivalent to Pb-based glass.
Toughening of nanocomposite hard coatings
Authors: Mishra Suman Kumari 
Published: November 2020

AbstractFor engineering applications, hardness must be complimented with high toughness for applications where high contact loads are there. A good combination of hardness, toughness and low coefficient of friction can be achieved, by suitable tailoring of microstructures of coating in hard nanocomposite coatings. Tribologocal applications require hard coatings with tailored functionalities for different applications; hard nanocomposite coatings are potential materials for such applications. Ti and amorphous carbon based systems have shown more promising material. The present review discusses the nanocomposite hard coatings, mechanism of enhancement of toughness, multilayer hard nanocomposite coatings. Here, mainly Ti and Si based nanocomposite has been discussed as carbon based reviews are available in plenty in literature and well documented. Ti-B-N, Ti-Si-B-C, Ti-Si-B-C-N, Si-C-N, Ti-Al-N, Ti-Al-Si-N, Al-Si-N, Ti-Cr-Al-N, Zr-Si-N and some other similar system nanocomposite hard coatings are important where the gradual and intelligent additions of different elements in hard single component phase provides the combination of hardness, toughness and low coefficient of friction. Some of these systems are discussed. In the end, the future directions of research, Technology„ which are required to achieve tough nanocomposite hard coatings for actual applications are also highlighted.
Kingship at Play
Authors: Année Magali 
Published: November 2020

AbstractDo the early Greek poets and thinkers really “play” with their language? What sort of “play” should we expect from part of the professional craftsmen they were of a basicallysoundlanguage? What did imply their awareness of thephono-syllabic nature of Greek language? And what about Heraclitus in particular, who is most concerned among them with theintrinsic virtuesof Greek discourse (λόγος)? An analysis of fr. 22 B 52 DK within the melodic and sonic state of archaic Greek language reveals, instead of “play of words”, a ratherspontaneousphenomenon of phono-syllabic generation, that is asnecessaryfor the political message of Heraclitus’ fragment as the meaning of each of its words and their superficial syntactic organization.
