Published: November 2021

AbstractSummarising and synthesising the evidence on cricket health and wellbeing can
help inform cricket stakeholders and navigate future research directions. The
purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cricket
participation, health and wellbeing at all ages and playing standards, and
identify research gaps in the existing literature. A scoping review was
performed from inception to March, 2020. Studies were included if they assessed
a construct related to health and/or wellbeing in cricketers, available
in English. 219 articles were eligible. Injury incidence per 1,000 player
exposures ranged from 1.8–5.7 injuries. 48% of former cricketers
experienced persistent joint pain. However, former cricketers reported greater
physical activity levels and mental-components of quality of life compared to
the general population. Heat injury/illness and skin cancer are concerns
and require further research. Cricket participation is associated with an
inherent injury risk, which may have negative implications for musculoskeletal
health in later life. However, cricket participation is associated with high
quality of life which can persist after retirement. Gaps in the literature
include prospective studies on health and wellbeing of cricketers, female
cricketers, injury prevention strategies, and the impact of cricket
participation on metabolic health and lifetime physical activity.

Intergenerational differences in Russian color naming in the globalized era: linguistic analysis
Authors: Griber Yulia A. , Mylonas Dimitris , Paramei Galina V. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe present study is an apparent-time analysis of color terms in Russian native speakers (N = 1927), whose age varied between 16 and 98 years. Stratified sampling was employed with the following age groups: 16–19, 20–29, and so on, with the oldest group of 70 years and over. Color names were elicited in a web-based psycholinguistic experiment (http://colournaming.com). Participants labeled color samples (N = 606) using an unconstrained color-naming method. Color vocabulary of each age group was estimated using multiple linguistic measures: diversity index; frequency of occurrences of 12 Russian basic color terms (BCTs) and of most frequent non-BCTs; color-naming pattern. Our findings show intergenerational differences in Russian color-term vocabulary, color-naming patterns, and object referents. The CT diversity (measured by the Margalef index) progressively increments with speakers’ juniority; the lexical refinement is manifested by the increasing variety of BCT modifiers and growing use of non-BCTs, both traditional and novel. Furthermore, the most frequent Russian non-BCTssirenevyj“lilac”,salatovyj“lettuce‐colored”, andbirûzovyj“turquoise” appear to be the emerging BCTs. The greatest diversity and richness of CT inventory is observed in Russian speakers aged 20–59 years, i.e., those who constitute the active workforce and are enthusiastic consumers. In comparison, speakers of 60 and over manifest less diverse color inventory and greater prevalence of (modified) BCTs. The two youngest groups (16–29 years) are linguistic innovators: their color vocabulary includes abundant recent loanwords, predominantly from English and, not infrequently, CTs as nouns rather than adjectives. Moreover, Generation Z (16–19 years) tend to offer highly specific or idiosyncratic color descriptors that serve expressive rather than informative function. The apprehended dynamics of color naming in apparent time reflects intergenerational differences as such, but even more so dramatic changes of sociocultural reality in the post-Soviet era, whereby Russian speakers, in particular under 60 years, were/are greatly impacted by globalization of trade: new market product arrivals resulted in adoption of novel and elaboration of traditional CTs for efficient communication about perceived color

Context For extensive production systems, crossbreeding may be a tool that can be used to achieve production of quality wool and meat to suit market specifications. Aims To evaluate two levels of crossbreeding of Dohne Merino (DM) sires with Corriedale (C) ewes on productive and reproductive traits of the crossbreed progeny in comparison with purebred C progeny. Methods Two studies using three genotypes – 100% C (100C), 50% DM × 50% C (50DM) and 75% DM × 25% C (75DM) – were carried out. In Study 1, growth, wool production and nematode resistance were evaluated (n = 1652). In wethers, carcass weight, subcutaneous tissue thickness, weight of high value cuts, meat shear force and fresh meat colour were also evaluated. Before first mating, the presence and number of corpus luteum was recorded to evaluate puberty and ovulation rate, respectively, in 380 18-month-old hoggets. In Study 2, fertility, prolificacy and lambing percentages were measured in 382 ewes. Key results Increasing the percentage of DM was associated with heavier animals (P < 0.01). The heaviest fleece weight, broadest fibre diameter and longest staple length were recorded in 100C, and the lowest in 75DM (P < 0.001). Crossbred animals had heavier carcasses, boneless legs and French racks than 100C (P < 0.001). Subcutaneous tissue thickness GR adjusted for carcass weight was thicker in 100C, intermediate in 50DM and lowest in 75DM (P < 0.001). Meat quality and nematode resistance traits were not affected by crossbreeding. Genotype affected the proportion of hoggets cyclic at first mating (P < 0.05), being greater in 50DM than in C hoggets, although both proportions were similar to 75DM. Fertility was not affected (P > 0.05) by genotype, whereas prolificacy and lambing percentage were greater in the animals of the 50DM vs 100C and 75DM (P < 0.05). Conclusions Wool quality, animal growth, carcass weight and composition, and onset of puberty were improved by crossbreeding C ewes with DM sires. A reduction in wool production, and minor influences on prolificacy and lambing percentage were detected. Implications Crossbreeding C ewes with DM sires can benefit wool and meat production in comparison with purebred C production systems.

Abstract
We investigate the predictable quantum efficient detector (PQED) in the visible and near-infrared wavelength range. The PQED consists of two n-type induced junction photodiodes with Al2O3 entrance window. Measurements are performed at the wavelengths of 488 nm and 785 nm with incident power levels ranging from 100 µW to 1000 µW. A new way of presenting the normalized photocurrents on a logarithmic scale as a function of bias voltage reveals two distinct negative slope regions and allows direct comparison of charge carrier losses at different wavelengths. The comparison indicates mechanisms that can be understood on the basis of different penetration depths at different wavelengths (0.77 μm at 488 nm and 10.2 μm at 785 nm). The difference in the penetration depths leads also to larger difference in the charge-carrier losses at low bias voltages than at high voltages due to the voltage dependence of the depletion region.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanism of the negative differential resistance (NDR) in transition metal dichalcogenides is essential for fundamental science and the development of electronic devices. Here, the NDR of the current–voltage characteristics was observed based on the glutamine-functionalized WS2 quantum dots (QDs). The NDR effect can be adjusted by varying the applied voltage range, air pressure, surrounding gases, and relative humidity. A peak-to-valley current ratio as high as 6.3 has been achieved at room temperature. Carrier trapping induced by water molecules was suggested to be responsible for the mechanism of the NDR in the glutamine-functionalized WS2 QDs. Investigating the NDR of WS2 QDs may promote the development of memory applications and emerging devices.
Logarithmic Schrödinger equation with quadratic potential*
Authors: Carles Rémi , Ferriere Guillaume 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
We analyze dynamical properties of the logarithmic Schrödinger equation under a quadratic potential. The sign of the nonlinearity is such that it is known that in the absence of external potential, every solution is dispersive, with a universal asymptotic profile. The introduction of a harmonic potential generates solitary waves, corresponding to generalized Gaussons. We prove that they are orbitally stable, using an inequality related to relative entropy, which may be thought of as dual to the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality. In the case of a partial confinement, we show a universal dispersive behavior for suitable marginals. For repulsive harmonic potentials, the dispersive rate is dictated by the potential, and no universal behavior must be expected.

Abstract
Lattice simulations of the QCD correlation functions in the Landau gauge have established two remarkable facts. First, the coupling constant in the gauge sector—defined, e.g., in the Taylor scheme—remains finite and moderate at all scales, suggesting that some kind of perturbative description should be valid down to infrared momenta. Second, the gluon propagator reaches a finite nonzero value at vanishing momentum, corresponding to a gluon screening mass. We review recent studies which aim at describing the long-distance properties of Landau gauge QCD by means of the perturbative Curci–Ferrari model. The latter is the simplest deformation of the Faddeev–Popov Lagrangian in the Landau gauge that includes a gluon screening mass at tree-level. There are, by now, strong evidences that this approach successfully describes many aspects of the infrared QCD dynamics. In particular, several correlation functions were computed at one- and two-loop orders and compared with ab-initio lattice simulations. The typical error is of the order of ten percent for a one-loop calculation and drops to few percents at two loops. We review such calculations in the quenched approximation as well as in the presence of dynamical quarks. In the latter case, the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry requires to go beyond a coupling expansion but can still be described in a controlled approximation scheme in terms of small parameters. We also review applications of the approach to nonzero temperature and chemical potential.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Wigner–Yanase skew information could quantify the quantum uncertainty of the observables that are not commuting with a conserved quantity. We present the uncertainty principle for two successive projective measurements in terms of Wigner–Yanase skew information based on a single quantum system. It could capture the incompatibility of the observables, i.e. the lower bound can be nontrivial for the observables that are incompatible with the state of the quantum system. Furthermore, the lower bound is also constrained by the quantum Fisher information. In addition, we find the complementarity relation between the uncertainties of the observable which operated on the quantum state and the other observable that performed on the post-measured quantum state and the uncertainties formed by the non-degenerate quantum observables performed on the quantum state, respectively.

Abstract
SOLPS-ITER modelling databases of three tokamaks—ASDEX-Upgrade, JET and ITER with fluid drifts activated are compared to understand the dependence of edge plasma performance on machine size and other global parameters. Two medium Z extrinsic radiating impurity species (Ne and N) are considered. It is demonstrated that N is better kept in the divertor region than Ne in semi-detached and detached divertor conditions due to smaller first ionization potential (FIP effect). Together with the fact that Ne radiates more efficiently at higher plasma temperatures, this leads to an increase in the efficiency of Ne for divertor heat load control with increasing machine size. In larger machines such as JET and ITER Ne can be as efficient a radiator as N while for ASDEX-Upgrade Ne easily leads to radiation from the pedestal and loss of H-mode stability. The relative roles of various physical effects are compared for the three tokamaks based on both whole databases and in more details for chosen semi-detached regimes with comparable fraction of radiated power. It is shown that for smaller machines drift effects are more significant and divertor asymmetries more pronounced.

Abstract
Hundreds of indicators are available to monitor progress of countries and regions towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the sheer number of indicators poses unprecedented challenges for data collection and compilation. Here we identify a subset of SDG indicators (principal indicators) that are relatively easy to collect data for and also are representative for all the indicators by considering the complex interrelationship among them. We find 147 principal indicators that can represent at least 90% of the annual variances of 351 SDG indicators in the past (2000–2017) and are expected to do so for the future (2018–2030) with the lowest difficulty of data collection. Our results can guide future investment in building the data infrastructure for SDG monitoring to give priorities to these principal indicators for global comparison.
Partial particle and wave information and weak duality games
Authors: Hillery Mark 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Duality games are a way of looking at wave–particle duality. In these games. Alice and Bob together are playing against the house. The house specifies, at random, which of two sub-games Alice and Bob will play. One game, Ways, requires that they obtain path information about a particle going through an N-path interferometer and the other, Phases, requires that they obtain phase information. In general, because of wave–particle duality, Alice and Bob cannot always win the overall game. However, if the required amount of path and phase information is not too great, for example specifying a set of paths or phases, one of which is the right one, then they can always win. Here we study examples of duality games that can always be won, and develop a wave–particle duality relation expressed only in terms of mutual information to help analyze these games.
Numerical validation of thermal conductivity of Al6061 based hybrid nano metal matrix composite filled with nanoparticles of Ni and Cr
Authors: Kumar Raj , Shringi Dinesh , Bairwa Kedar Narayan 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Aluminum composite matrix materials are regarded as the most popular type of composite materials. Metal matrix composites made of aluminum have better mechanical and thermal properties, including a higher strength-to-weight ratio, tensile strength, hardness, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. In various types of applications viz, automobile, aviation, the thermal characterization of aluminum metal matrix composites has increased. Thermal conductivity as a function of temperature, thermal diffusivity, and the thermal gradient is one of the essential thermal characteristics of aluminum metal matrix composites needed to understand the material’s behavior. The current work evaluated thermal conductivity as a product of thermal diffusivity, density, and specific heat for Al6061/Ni/Cr hybrid nano metal matrix composites from 50 °C to 300 °C. Al6061 based metal matrix composite reinforced with varying wt.% of Ni and Cr nanoparticles whereas fixed wt.% of graphene and Mg added to improve thermal conductivity, self-lubrication, and wettability. Thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and density were evaluated using laser flash apparatus (LFA 447), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Archimedes principle, respectively. Results revealed that the thermal conductivity of fabricated composites increases with Ni, Cr, Mg, and graphene nanoparticles. With further expansion of reinforced particles of Ni and Cr, the thermal conductivity decreases. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been conducted to determine the thermal gradient and thermal flux using experimental values such as density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and enthalpy at various temperature ranges to validate the experimental results.
National and regional waste stream in the United States: conformance and disparity
Authors: Kumar Vikram , Garg Nishant 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Accurate estimation of municipal solid waste (MSW) composition is critical for efficient waste management. In the United States, site-specific and material flow approaches determine the MSW composition at regional and national levels. The material flow-based national estimates are determined by the US EPA; the US EPA’s estimates are known to differ substantially from the aggregated tonnage of MSW managed by waste handling facilities in the United States. However, the material class-specific discrepancies of the US EPA’s material flow approach resulting in these differences are unknown. To find the basis of these discrepancies, we analyze the discarded MSW stream of 27 US states, which roughly accounts for 73 percent of the US population. Our analysis indicates that the material flow-based national estimates are accurate for the food, plastic, and glass material classes. In contrast, we find that the US EPA’s material flow-based predictions underestimate paper waste disposal by at least 15 million tons annually. These differences likely stem from incorrect assumptions of residence time. These results highlight the material class-specific strengths and drawbacks of the US EPA’s material flow-based MSW estimates.

ABSTRACT
2-Methylthio-N7-methyl-cis-zeatin (1) was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. 80H647 along with 2 known purine derivatives, 5′-methylthioinosine (2) and AT-265 (dealanylascamycin, 3). The structure elucidation of compound 1 was accomplished by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. It inhibited the growth of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 with a GI50 of 2.4 µm and had no effect on the growth of Arabidopsis at 2 µm. This is the first report of an N7-methylated zeatin-type natural product from Streptomyces and as an antimalarial compound.
Influence of Neighborhood Competition on Douglas-Fir Growth Is Not Altered by Local Environmental Conditions and Climate
Authors: Puettmann Klaus J , Ganio Lisa M , Woodruff David , Morgan Bryn 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
To evaluate impacts of competitive conditions in tree neighborhoods on growth responses as influenced by moisture availability and local environmental conditions, we sampled 102 codominant 40- to 70-year-old coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) in regions with relatively high and low moisture availability. We quantified local environmental conditions (topographic position index, heat load, and soil depth), and the annual basal area increment and climate moisture deficits during two growth periods: a five-year period prior to commercial thinning and years six to 10 after thinning. In both regions and growth periods, tree growth was higher for trees growing in local neighborhoods with lower competition. The density/growth relationships differed by region and by growth period in the moist regions, but they were not influenced by climate moisture deficit. Furthermore, including topographic position index, heat load, or soil depth did not improve model support. Our results highlight the importance of managing local competition and indicate that environmental factors such as soil depth, heat load, and topography may be less likely to warrant consideration when developing thinning prescriptions. This could allow foresters to accommodate other ecosystem services when designing density management treatments, at least within typical growing conditions.
