The encounter of English and Chinese lexicographical traditions
Authors: Li Rui 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The publication of Wilhelm Lobscheid’s (1822–1893) English and Chinese Dictionary, with the Punti and
Mandarin Pronunciation (1866–1869) marked a turning point in the history
of English-Chinese lexicography. This article traces the genealogy of Lobscheid’s English and Chinese Dictionary
by examining its multiple sources and discusses how the lexicographical tradition of English-Chinese dictionaries was built on
previous dictionaries in the East and the West.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Vibration screening equipment has an extensive application profile in material screening, in which the displacement parameters can reveal the motion state of the material and affect the screening efficiency. These displacement parameters can be obtained by integrating the acceleration signal of the equipment. In this paper, to prevent the noise in the acceleration signal from further amplifying its negative effects on the subsequent integration, the acceleration signal is preprocessed by the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and wavelet threshold denoising. Besides, a hybrid integration displacement algorithm is utilized to mitigate the influence of integration errors. The consistent results between simulation and platform experiments demonstrate that CEEMDAN in combination with wavelet threshold denoising can effectively remove noise while retaining the main frequency signal. In addition, the displacement signal obtained by the hybrid integration algorithm proposed in this paper is closer to the original displacement signal. Compared with the 2nd time-domain integration, the 2nd frequency-domain integration, and the empirical mode decomposition integration methods, the integration method proposed in this paper achieves a smaller peak error, mean absolute error, and root mean square error. The experimental results corroborate the superiority of this method in the application of vibration screening equipment.

Abstract
Livestock transportation is a key factor that contributes to the spatial spread of brucellosis. To analyze the impact of sheep transportation on brucellosis transmission, we develop a human–sheep coupled brucellosis model within a metapopulation network framework. Theoretically, we examine the positively invariant set, the basic reproduction number, the existence, uniqueness, and stability of disease-free equilibrium and the existence of the endemic equilibrium of the model. For practical application, using Heilongjiang province as a case study, we simulate brucellosis transmission across 12 cities based on data using three network types: the BA network, the ER network, and homogeneous mixing network. The simulation results indicate that the network’s average degree plays a role in the spread of brucellosis. For BA and ER networks, the basic reproduction number and cumulative incidence of brucellosis stabilize when the network’s average degree reaches 4 or 5. In contrast, sheep transport in a homogeneous mixing network accelerates the cross-regional spread of brucellosis, whereas transportation in a BA network helps to control it effectively. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the movement of sheep is not always detrimental to controlling the spread of brucellosis. For cities with smaller sheep populations, such as Shuangyashan and Qitaihe, increasing the transport of sheep outward amplifies the spatial spread of the disease. In contrast, in cities with larger sheep populations, such as Qiqihar, Daqing, and Suihua, moderate sheep outflow can help reduce the spread. In addition, cities with large livestock populations play a dominant role in the overall transmission dynamics, underscoring the need for stricter supervision in these areas.
Time and its arrow from quantum geometrodynamics?
Authors: Kiefer Claus , Chataignier Leonardo , Tyagi Mritunjay 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We discuss how quantum geometrodynamics, a conservative approach to quantum gravity, might explain the emergence of classical spacetime and, with it, the emergence of classical time and its arrow from the universal quantum state. This follows from a particular but reasonable choice of boundary condition motivated by the structure of the Hamiltonian of the theory. This condition can also be seen as defining a quantum version of Penrose’s Weyl curvature hypothesis. We comment on the relation of this picture to the ‘past hypothesis’ and the different observed arrows of time, and we consider how quantum geometrodynamics could serve as a unifying and more fundamental framework to explain these observations.
Intertwined Quantum Phase Transitions in Bose and Bose-Fermi Systems
Authors: Leviatan A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Pronounced structural changes within individual configurations (Type I QPT), superimposed on an abrupt crossing of these configurations (Type II QPT), define the notion of intertwined quantum phase transitions (QPTs). We discuss and present evidence for such a scenario in finite Bose and Bose-Fermi systems. The analysis is based on algebraic models with explicit configuration mixing, where the two types of QPTs describe shape-phase transitions in-between different dynamical symmetries and shape-coexistence with crossing.
Theoretical studies on anharmonic effect and reaction mechanism of reaction CMP+OH
Authors: Luo Lei , Che Li , Xia Wenwen , Yao Li 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The reaction rate constants between 3-chloro-2-methylpropene (CMP) and OH radical were calculated utilizing the Yao-Lin (YL) method, which concluded harmonic and anharmonic values. In this paper, the anharmonic effect and reaction mechanism of the title reaction and its subsequent reactions were supplied with a detailed analysis. In the CMP+OH reaction, there are two reaction complexes, eight intermediate complexes, nine transition states, and seven products. The optimizations and frequencies of all molecular configurations were calculated at the M06-2X/6-311++G(2d,p) level, and the single-point energies of them were more accurately calculated at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G(2d,p) level. Five main reaction pathways were determined by calculation, including two OH radical addition reactions and three hydrogen atom abstraction reactions. The obtained data show that the values of rate constant increase with the increasing calculation temperature and energy, whether they are harmonic or anharmonic. Furthermore, the kinetic parameters of the CMP+OH reaction and its subsequent reaction steps containing anharmonic effect were fitted. From a series of results, it can be seen that the anharmonic effect in this reaction cannot be simply ignored, and these results can provide theoretical reference for the related research of chemical reaction between CMP and OH radical.
Research on dynamic behaviour of a co-sintered steel-tungsten alloy material

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The newly proposed co-sintering method was used to fabricate reliably connected steel-tungsten alloy layered material. To study the dynamic mechanical properties of steel and tungsten alloy made by co-sintering conditions and interaction between the two matrices of the co-sintered steel-tungsten alloy material, intensive experiments were conducted by the SHPB technique. Experimental results show that temperature rise from 298K to 1073K will cause an 80% loss in strength of the sintered steel, and 50% in tungsten alloy. Strain rates hardening is less prominent, with 18% increase in strength for sintered steel and 15% for tungsten alloy, from 1000/s to 5000/s. The sintered steel shows considerable ductility with high strain rates. However, the tungsten alloy shows great plasticity up to 5000/s at room temperature, thus contributing to the intact of the sintered steel in the bi-layered samples. Engineering applications of co-sintered material should take into account such results. Furthermore, to help numerical analysis of the co-sintered material, a reasonable treatment of the interface of co-sintered structures with incorporation of the dynamic compression behaviour of the bi-layered samples was suggested, but requires further exploration. Even though the experimental data was fitted by altering the meaning of the dimensionless temperature in the Johnson-Cook constitutive model, the reason to the shit between the experimental data and the fitted curves by dimensionless temperature should also be further studied.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
In today’s context, the production of nanomaterials with different morphologies is a crucial concern, holding significant importance for catalytic efficiency and real-world usage. In this study, hollow tubular cobalt-manganese spinel prepared by electrospinning technology was used for the catalytic oxidation process of toluene. The lower calcination temperature (single phase) has lower crystallinity, and can provide better catalytic activity, where the sample calcined at 600°C can reach 90% toluene conversion rate with 1000 ppm toluene concentration at 310°C. This study provides a new understanding of the effect of spinel oxide morphology control on the oxidation ability of toluene, and provides a new structural control method for improving the oxidation ability of VOCs.
A Study on the influence of indenter shape for small punch test of non-metallic materials

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Small punch test (SPT) is a type of advanced method for material mechanical property obtain with small-invasive test, which has a good application prospect for judging the mechanical properties of materials at the local position of service components. However, at present, there is a lack of data and engineering basis for the applicability of the two commonly used ball shaped and hemisphere shaped indenters of the SPT method to flexible non-metallic materials, resulting in the lack of universal adaptability standards for the SPT method of non-metallic materials, which is one of the core shackles of the current engineering application of this method. Therefore, based on the results of the traditional uniaxial tensile test, the SPT of polyamide (PA) was carried out by using two shapes of indenters, ball shaped and hemisphere shaped indenter, and the differences between material deformation and fracture caused by the two shapes of indenters were analyzed by the methods of material mechanical properties, macro and micro fracture morphology and numerical simulation. The experimental results show that the top of the indenter has obvious friction with the material during the small punch test, and the maximum deformation position of the material occurs at the diameter of the indenter rounding. Due to the viscoelastic characteristics of high flexibility and large deformation of PA, the shaped part of the indenter is bonded due to plastic deformation rebound during the fracture process. For the spherical indenter, the maximum deformation of the material can wrap the gap formed between the spherical indenter and the punch platform, which will cause the maximum deformation position of the specimen to change during continuous loading, which will affect the authenticity of the data. The maximum deformation position of the hemisphere shaped indenter remains stable, which has a more accurate positioning for evaluating the performance of the material. The test results screen out the SPT indenter shape suitable for flexible non-metallic materials, which provides theoretical guidance and basis for the formulation of SPT test method standards.
Study on mechanical properties of natural rubber and influencing factors of heat generation under compression
Authors: Bi Honghua , Wang Xiaotian , Liu Jincai , Wang Wenfei 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The effects of different curing systems and fillers on mechanical properties and fatigue heat production of natural rubber were studied by adjusting the sulfur promotion ratio and the type and amount of carbon black in the curing formula. The results show that the natural rubber vulcanized by CV system has the characteristics of high strength and low loss, but the heat yield is still 18.6%. Although large particle size carbon black N770 is not dominant in mechanical properties, it can show excellent effect of reducing fatigue heat production, only 11.3%, which will have certain guiding significance for the design of low heat generation rubber materials for vibration damping components.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Extraction of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has gained significant attention lately in the realm of regenerative medicine. However, finding highly efficient methods of extraction that also comply with the US regulations has prevented widespread clinical use.

Objectives
The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel ASC extraction device to quantify viable ASC extraction and processing efficiency.

Methods
SVF extracted from abdominal fat samples and processed using a novel shock-assisted viable extraction (SAVE) device was tested for stem-cell count and viability. Additionally, time required for processing was recorded.

Results
Twelve adipose samples were utilized for this study. After a mean time of 3 min, cell count yield ranged of 47,400 to 189,400 of viable regenerative cells per cc, with an average of 122,464 viable regenerative cells per cc.

Conclusions
SAVE is a novel fat-processing technique with high stem-cell extraction that shows promise from a regulatory, yield, time efficiency, and cost perspective.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Summary
Phenotyping consists in applying algorithms to identify individuals associated with a specific, potentially complex, trait or condition, typically out of a collection of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Because a lot of the clinical information of EHRs are lying in texts, phenotyping from text takes an important role in studies that rely on the secondary use of EHRs. However, the heterogeneity and highly specialized aspect of both the content and form of clinical texts makes this task particularly tedious, and is the source of time and cost constraints in observational studies.

To facilitate the development, evaluation and reproducibility of phenotyping pipelines, we developed an open-source Python library named medkit. It enables composing data processing pipelines made of easy-to-reuse software bricks, named medkit operations. In addition to the core of the library, we share the operations and pipelines we already developed and invite the phenotyping community for their reuse and enrichment.

Beyond exclusion: revisiting exploitative abuses in digital platform markets
Authors: Balasingham Baskaran , D’Amico Alessia S 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
With the rapid expansion of digital platforms, concerns regarding exploitative practices have gained prominence, necessitating a closer examination of the possibilities available to competition authorities to address them. In light of the higher error costs of enforcement compared to exclusionary abuses, scholars have come up with structured approaches to identify in which situations exploitative abuse actions are justified. However, these approaches are mostly geared towards excessive prices and have not been adapted to digital platform markets, where customers and consumers are more likely to encounter unfair trading conditions. The aim of this article is to examine the extent to which the structured approaches developed in the literature are applicable to cases of unfair trading conditions by digital platforms. In order to do so, we first review the literature to establish the most widely supported conditions under which intervening against excessive price is justified. We identify the following conditions: (i) the presence of high and non-transitory barriers to entry; (ii) an enhanced dominant position; (iii) the absence of sector-specific regulation; and (iv) enhanced consumer harm. We then apply those conditions to exploitative abuse cases in digital platform markets and propose adjustments to ensure they are appropriate to guide competition authorities’ intervention.
Three-dimensional numerical calculation and case application of IP five-directional well logging
Authors: Zhao Rongchun , Lv Yuzeng , Zhang Zhi , Wei Liuye , Hou Xiying 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Conventional well logging can effectively detect the vertical distribution range of ore bodies near the well by placing detectors in the well. However, its detection capability for the horizontal extension of ore bodies is limited. Therefore, starting from the differential equations satisfied by the point source in three-dimensional structures, this paper deduces the variational problem satisfied by the total potential under three-dimensional complex conditions. By focusing on well logging, tetrahedral cross-grid partitioning technology is employed to achieve high-precision three-dimensional finite element forward modeling. Simulations are carried out for different forms of ore bodies using the induced polarization five-direction observation method, considering the presence of ore bodies near the well and the case where the measurement well passes through the ore body. The paper analyzes and summarizes the induced polarization anomaly patterns formed by ore bodies with low resistance and high polarization in different horizontal extension directions under induced polarization five-direction logging with power supply measurements from different directions. Based on this, a human–computer interaction system is constructed to perform forward fitting and inversion interpretation of the measured induced polarization data, resulting in a good application effect.
The causal arrows from genotype, environment, and management to plant phenotype are double headed
Authors: Sadras Victor O , Hayman Peter T 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Cause-and-effect arrows are drawn from genotype (G), environment (E), and agronomic management (M) to the plant phenotype in crop stands in a useful but incomplete framework that informs research questions, experimental design, statistical analysis, data interpretation, modelling, and breeding and agronomic applications. Here we focus on the overlooked bidirectionality of these arrows. The phenotype-to-genotype arrow includes increased mutation rates in stressed phenotypes, relative to basal rates. From a developmental viewpoint, the phenotype modulates gene expression, returning multiple cellular phenotypes with a common genome. The phenotype-to-environment arrow is captured in the process of niche construction, which spans from persistent and global to transient and local. Research on crop rotations recognizes the influence of the phenotype on the environment but is divorced from niche construction theory. The phenotype-to-management arrow involves, for example, a diseased crop that may trigger fungicide treatment. Making explicit the bidirectionality of the arrows in the G×E×M framework contributes to narrowing the gap between data-driven technologies and integrative theory, and is an invitation to think cautiously of the internal teleonomy of plants in contrast to the view of the phenotype as the passive end of the arrows in the current framework.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Short-course tuberculosis (TB) prevention regimens, including 12 weeks of isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP), are increasingly used in high-TB-burden countries. Despite established safety and tolerability in efficacy trials, 3HP-related adverse events (AEs) could differ in routine settings. Real-world data on AE type, frequency, and timing are crucial for health systems considering 3HP programmatic scale-up.

Methods
We reviewed AEs among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) participating in a pragmatic implementation trial of facilitated 3HP taken by directly observed therapy (DOT) or self-administered therapy (SAT) in Kampala, Uganda, and classified them using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. We assessed AE timing and summarized related clinical actions including laboratory tests, diagnoses made, medications prescribed, and treatment interruptions.

Results
Among 1655 people with HIV treated between July 2020 and September 2022, 270 (16.3%) reported 451 events; main issues included general (7%), nervous system (6%), musculoskeletal (5%), gastrointestinal (5%), and dermatologic (3%) disorders. Most (61%) occurred within 6 weeks of initiating 3HP. Among those with events, 211 (78%) required further clinician evaluation, 202 (75%) required laboratory testing, 102 (38%) had medications prescribed, 40 (15%) had treatment paused, and 14 (5%) discontinued 3HP. Women, those multidimensionally impoverished, and DOT recipients were more likely to report an AE. SAT users and later enrollees were more likely to have 3HP interrupted or stopped due to an AE.

Conclusions
In a routine setting, 3HP was safe, with 16% of people with HIV reporting AEs and only 3% requiring temporary or permanent treatment interruption. These findings support 3HP expansion in routine HIV/AIDS care settings for TB prevention.

The Riddle of the Good Faith Purchaser
Authors: Crawford Michael J R 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
A purchaser unwittingly buys stolen goods. The owner from whom they were stolen demands their return. The purchaser refuses. How should the law resolve their dispute? This article argues that the law’s primary objective in resolving disputes between owners and good faith purchasers should not be to achieve ‘justice’ between the parties but to disincentivise theft. With some categories of goods, it is difficult to see how the legal attribution of liability can achieve this end. However, where goods are amenable to registration, the rules of good faith purchase can discourage theft by conditioning an owner’s success over a good faith purchaser on the fact of prior registration. In the absence of a register, there seems little to choose between the parties. However, because the favoured party will frequently be a monopolist, the danger of holdouts warrants employing innovations from auction theory, the effect of which is to force the parties to reveal otherwise private information about their subjective valuations of the disputed goods.
