Aspect and modality in English predicative and specificational copular clauses
Authors: Praet Wout Van 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThis paper investigates the use of aspect and modality in English predicative and specificational copulars. To examine attractions of aspectual and modal meanings to the VPs in the copular constructions, I carry out collostructional analyses (Stefanowitsch & Gries 2003). These attractions are interpreted with respect to (i) the lexicogrammatically coded meaning of the copular clauses and (ii) the pragmatic mechanisms that they trigger (e.g. (non-)exhaustiveness implicature), and (iii) the discursive functions they serve in specific contexts of use. It is crucial that this study takes into account specificational copulars with indefinite vs definite variable NPs, which carry an implicature of non-exhaustiveness vs exhaustiveness respectively. I will argue that the felicity of specific aspectual construals is related to the meanings coded at level (i), while the attraction of modal verbs is related to all three levels.
Cyclic transition of deformation in {1 2 3}<6 3 4> single crystal processed by accumulative roll-bonding
Authors: Wang Hui , Lu Cheng , Tieu Kiet 
Published: October 2019

In this study, the crystal plasticity finite element method model was used to study the deformation in a single crystal aluminium processed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB). The predicted textures match well with the experimental observations up to nine cycles. The texture and slip activities in representative layers were investigated, and cyclic transition of them was observed. It was found that the thickness position change caused by cutting and stacking was a basic reason for the cyclic transition. Finally, the effect of shear deformation to this transition was discussed.
Lyrical Tension, Collective Voices: Masculinity in Alban Berg'sWozzeck
Authors: Hsieh Amanda 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThe voice of Berg's Wozzeck has been characterized by hisSprechgesang, heard as manifestation of his abnormality or even ‘hysteria’. However, Wozzeck often sounds more lyrical and emotive in relation to his oppressors, whose sense of authority is undermined by their caricatured vocal lines and vocal types. Rather than representing a ‘broken’ voice, Wozzeck'sSprechgesangis reserved for moments shared with his fellow low-ranking comrades, suggesting that it served as a voice of solidarity and empathy. In this article, I historicize the première of the opera at the Berlin State Opera; indeed, a glance at the singers who played the central roles suggests how the characters were perceived. It reveals an intertextual web of suffering shared between Berg's traumatized soldiers, and the perverse exercise of authority.Wozzecktherefore opens up questions about the expression of ideals in post-First World War Germany: the ideal of a stoic man demanded by the army, and the ideal of a voice.
Feldenkrais's Touch, Ephram's Laughter, Gould's Sensorium: Listening and Musical Practice between Thinking and Doing
Authors: Sholl Robert 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThis study addresses listening as a hinge between therapeutic and musical contexts. In the first two sections I examine the productive confluence of Jean-Luc Nancy's thought and Moshe Feldenkrais's somatic practice. I show that the ‘subject’ is configured as both embodied and enactivist. Drawing on Nancy's work, Jacques Lacan, Sigmund Freud and educational and developmental child psychology, I position the listening subject on a fulcrum of balance and imbalance essential to learning and musical practice. In the third part of this study, I concretize Feldenkrais's ideals of correct action and listening in musical practice. Using Glenn Gould and empirical work on musical practice, I explore the significance of listening between acts of playing. Listening is proposed not merely as a phenomenological form of making sense (Nancy), but as a form of self-negotiation and an enactivist and imaginative space that leads to new possibilities of thought and refinement of action.

AbstractStudies on the effects of exercise training in persons with cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) are scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an 8‐week stationary arm‐crank exercise (ACE) training programme on the level of autonomy, exercise performance, pulmonary functional parameters and resting heart rate variability (HRV) in persons with CSCI. Quadriplegia Index of Function (QIF), arm‐crank peak power output (Ppeak), spirometric variables, and HRV indices were measured before and after the training programme in a group of 11 persons with CSCI. ACE training increased Ppeak in both groups (p < 0.05), whereas maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and low frequency HRV (LF) improved only in the lower CSCI group (p < 0.05). Moreover, QIF and Ppeak were significantly correlated before (r = 0.88; p < 0.01) and after (r = 0.86; p < 0.01) the training period. However, no significant changes were found in the level of autonomy (QIF) as a result of the intervention. Therefore, stationary ACE training appears to be a feasible and effective method for aerobic exercise in persons with tetraplegia and a short‐term intervention is able to significantly improve exercise capacity, cardiac autonomic regulation and respiratory muscle endurance, regardless of the absence of significant immediate changes in the level of autonomy.

Published: October 2019

AbstractHyperthermia stimulates endogenous carbohydrate metabolism during exercise; however, it is not known if exercise intensity impacts the metabolic effect of heat stress. In the first study of this two‐part investigation, endurance‐trained male cyclists performed incremental exercise assessments in 18 and 35°C (60% rH). The stimulatory effect of heat stress on carbohydrate oxidation rates was greater at high vs. moderate vs. low relative intensity (P < 0.05). In agreement, no effects of heat stress on carbohydrate oxidation rates were observed during 60‐min of subsequent low‐intensity cycling. In study two, endurance‐trained male cyclists performed 20‐min of moderate‐intensity (power at the first ventilatory threshold) and 5‐min of high‐intensity (power at the second ventilatory threshold) cycling in 18, 28, 34, and 40°C (60% rH). At moderate‐intensity, carbohydrate oxidation rates were significantly elevated by heat stress in 40°C (P < 0.05), whereas at high‐intensity carbohydrate oxidation rates were significantly elevated by heat stress in 34 and 40°C (P < 0.05). This exercise intensity‐mediated regulation of the effect of heat stress on carbohydrate oxidation may be partially attributable to observed plasma adrenaline responses. Our data suggest that under moderate environmental heat stress (34–35°C, 60% rH), heat stress‐induced changes in CHO oxidation rates are unlikely to occur unless the relative exercise intensity is high (81 ± 8%⩒O2max), whereas under more extreme environmental heat stress (40°C, 60% rH), these changes occur at lower relative intensities (69 ± 8%⩒O2max). This provides indication of when heat stress‐induced metabolic changes during exercise are likely to occur.
Reversible time travel with freedom of choice

Published: October 2019

Abstract
General relativity allows for the existence of closed time-like curves, along which a material object could travel back in time and interact with its past self. This possibility raises the question whether certain initial conditions, or more generally local operations, lead to inconsistencies and should thus be forbidden. Here we consider the most general deterministic dynamics connecting classical degrees of freedom defined on a set of bounded space-time regions, requiring that it is compatible with arbitrary operations performed in the local regions. We find that any such dynamics can be realised through reversible interactions. We further find that consistency with local operations is compatible with non-trivial time travel: three parties can interact in such a way to be all both in the future and in the past of each other, while being free to perform arbitrary local operations.
Charge noise induced spin dephasing in a nanowire double quantum dot with spin–orbit coupling
Authors: Li (李 睿) Rui 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Unexpected fluctuating charge field near a semiconductor quantum dot has severely limited the coherence time of the localized spin qubit. It is the interplay between the spin–orbit coupling and the asymmetrical confining potential in a quantum dot, that mediates the longitudinal interaction between the spin qubit and the fluctuating charge field. Here, we study the 1/f  charge noise induced spin dephasing in a nanowire double quantum dot via exactly solving its eigen-energies and eigenfunctions. Our calculations demonstrate that the spin dephasing has a nonmonotonic dependence on the asymmetry of the double quantum dot confining potential. With the increase of the potential asymmetry, the dephasing rate first becomes stronger very sharply before reaching to a maximum, after that it becomes weaker softly. Also, we find that the applied external magnetic field contributes to the spin dephasing, the dephasing rate is strongest at the anti-crossing point B
0 in the double quantum dot.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The realization of large-scale and high-density gaps with sizes as small as possible is crucial for designing ultra-sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. As known, the ultrathin alumina mask (UTAM) surface nanopatterning technique allows the fabrication of periodic nanoparticle (NP) arrays with 5 nm gaps among the NPs, however, it still faces a significant challenge in realizing the reliable distribution of nanogaps over a large area, because of the unavoidable collapse of the UTAM pore wall during the traditional one-step homothermal pore-widening process. Herein, an efficient two-step poikilothermal pore-widening process was developed to precisely control the pore wall etching of a UTAM, enabling effectively avoiding the fragmentation of the UTAM and finally obtaining a large-scale UTAM with a pore wall thickness of about 5 nm. As a result, large-scale NP arrays with high-density sub-5 nm and even smaller gaps between the neighboring NPs have been realized through applying the as-prepared UTAM as the nanopatterning template. These NP arrays with sub-5 nm gaps show ultrahigh SERS sensitivity (signal enhancement improved by an order of magnitude compared with NP arrays with 5 nm gaps) and good reproducibility, which demonstrates the practical feasibility of this promising two-step pore-widening UTAM technique for the fabrication of high-performance active SERS substrates with large-scale ultra-small nanogaps.
Towards accurate modeling of the multidimensional magnetic particle imaging physics
Authors: Kluth T , Szwargulski P , Knopp T 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The image reconstruction problem of the tomographic imaging technique magnetic particle imaging (MPI) requires the solution of a linear inverse problem. One prerequisite for this task is that the imaging operator that describes the mapping between the tomographic image and the measured signal is accurately known. For 2D and 3D excitation patterns, it is common to measure the system matrix in a calibration procedure, that is both, very time consuming and adds noise to the operator. The need for measuring the system matrix is due to the lack of an accurate model that is capable of describing the nanoparticles’ magnetization behavior in the MPI setup. Within this work we exploit a physical model that is based on Néel rotation for large particle ensembles and we find model parameters that describe measured 2D MPI data with much higher precision than state of the art MPI models. With phantom experiments we show that the simulated system matrix can be used for image reconstruction and reduces artifacts due to model-mismatch considerably.
Spectral properties of interacting helical channels driven by Lorentzian pulses
Authors: Acciai Matteo , Calzona Alessio , Carrega Matteo , Martin Thierry , Sassetti Maura 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Precise shaping of coherent electron sources allows the controlled creation of wavepackets into a one dimensional (1D) quantum conductor. Periodic trains of Lorentzian pulses have been shown to induce minimal excitations without creating additional electron–hole pairs in a single non-interacting 1D electron channel. The presence of electron–electron (e–e) interactions dramatically affects the non-equilibrium dynamics of a 1D system. Here, we consider the intrinsic spectral properties of a helical liquid, with a pair of counterpropagating interacting channels, in the presence of time-dependent Lorentzian voltage pulses. We show that peculiar asymmetries in the behavior of the spectral function are induced by interactions, depending on the sign of the injected charges. Moreover, we discuss the robustness of the concept of minimal excitations in the presence of interactions, where the link with excess noise is no more straightforward. Finally, we propose a scanning tunneling microscope setup to spectroscopically access and probe the non-equilibrium behavior induced by the voltage drive and e–e interactions. This allows a diagnosis of fractional charges in a correlated quantum spin Hall liquid in the presence of time-dependent drives.

Abstract
The role of computational mathematics on the study of the fundamental properties of neutrinos and axions and their impact on the energy loss within stellar structure is illustrated in this work. The theoretical predictions, done with the aid of a numerical code for simulating stellar evolution, are used in three cases of interest: the number of neutrinos reaching our planet from the closest stellar system, calculated by modelling its two main stars and their corresponding neutrino spectrum; the magnitude of the neutrino magnetic dipole moment and the axion-electron coupling constant is estimated by comparing stellar models to the tip-RGB of fifty globular clusters; and, finally, the survival of the Earth, after the Sun becomes a red giant is tested for an scenario in which axions and neutrinos are being simultaneously produced within the solar core.
Quantification of uncertainty in metallic elements subjected to fatigue
Authors: García N Afanador 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This investigation analyzes the propagation of the uncertainty of the number of life cycles to fatigue failure, taking into account the strain life method, considering as random variables some parameters of the material and loading in a steel plate under fatigue, with constant and variable loading through multidimensional Hermite polynomials. The application of series of multidimensional Hermite polynomials allowed the prediction of the randomness of the output vector. This research has shown that a multidimensional Hermite polynomial adequately estimates the propagation of the uncertainty of the input random variables. The results showed that variations in material and loading parameters can generate important failure probabilities and allowed quantifying the variability in the number of life cycles for fatigue failure steel parts
Unintentional unfairness when applying new greenhouse gas emissions metrics at country level
Authors: Rogelj Joeri , Schleussner Carl-Friedrich 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The 2015 Paris Agreement sets out that rapid reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are needed to keep global warming to safe levels. A new approach (known as GWP*) has been suggested to compare contributions of long- and short-lived GHGs, providing a close link between cumulative CO2-equivalent emissions and total warming. However, comparison factors for non-CO2 GHGs under the GWP* metric depend on past emissions, and hence raise questions of equity and fairness when applied at any but the global level. The use of GWP* would put most developing countries at a disadvantage compared to developed countries, because when using GWP* countries with high historical emissions of short-lived GHGs are exempted from accounting for avoidable future warming that is caused by sustaining these emissions. We show that when various established equity or fairness criteria are applied to GWP* (defined here as eGWP*), perceived national non-CO2 emissions vary by more than an order of magnitude, particularly in countries with high methane emissions like New Zealand. We show that national emission estimates that use GWP* are very sensitive to arbitrary choices made by countries and therewith facilitate the creation of loopholes when CO2-equivalent emissions based on the GWP* concept are traded between countries that use different approaches. In light of such equity-dependent accounting differences, GHG metrics like GWP* should only be used at the global level. A common, transparent and equity-neutral accounting metric is vital for the Paris Agreement’s effectiveness and its environmental integrity.

Abstract
The impact of climate change on vegetation including agricultural production has been the focus of many studies. Climate change is expected to have heterogeneous effects across locations globally, and the diversity of land uses characterising Great Britain (GB) presents a unique opportunity to test methods for assessing climate change effects and impacts. GB is a relatively cool and damp country, hence, the warmer and generally drier growing season conditions projected for the future are expected to increase arable production. Here we use state-of-the-art, kilometre-scale climate change scenarios to drive a land surface model (JULES; Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) and an ECOnometric AGricultural land use model (ECO-AG). Under unmitigated climate change, by the end of the century, the growing season in GB is projected to get >5 °C warmer and 140 mm drier on average. Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to counteract the generally negative impacts of climate change on vegetation productivity in JULES. Given sufficient precipitation, warming favours higher value arable production over grassland agriculture, causing a predicted westward expansion of arable farming in ECO-AG. However, drying in the East and Southeast, without any CO2 fertilisation effect, is severe enough to cause a predicted reversion from arable to grassland farming. Irrigation, if implemented, could maintain this land in arable production. However, the predicted irrigation demand of ∼200 mm (per growing season) in many locations is comparable to annual predicted runoff, potentially demanding large-scale redistribution of water between seasons and/or across the country. The strength of the CO2 fertilisation effect emerges as a crucial uncertainty in projecting the impact of climate change on GB vegetation, especially farming land-use decisions.
A global meta-analyses of the response of multi-taxa diversity to grazing intensity in grasslands
Authors: Wang Chao , Tang Yujia 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Livestock grazing is an important component and driver of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems. While numerous studies and a few meta-analyses had been conducted on the response of single taxon diversity to grazing in grasslands, a synthesis of how multi-taxa diversity is affected has been largely missing, especially reflecting its changes along a grazing intensity gradient. We performed a comprehensive meta-analyses of 116 published studies on the species richness (SR) and Shannon−Wiener index (H′) of plants, arthropods, and microbes to examine the response of biodiversity to grazing intensity in temperate grasslands globally. This quantitative assessment showed that the response of SR and H′ to grazing intensity agreed with the intermediate disturbance hypothesis in grasslands; SR and H′ increased with light and moderate grazing intensities, while they decreased at heavy intensity. In addition, plant SR increased markedly with light and moderate grazing and declined with heavy grazing intensity; however, H′ increased at light intensity and declined at moderate and heavy intensities. Moreover, the SR and H′ of microbes were enhanced at light and moderate grazing and were significantly reduced with heavy intensity. The SR and H′ of arthropods monotonously declined with increasing grazing intensity. Importantly, structural equation modeling showed that grazing resulted in enhanced plant SR mainly through its negative effects on plant biomass. Grazing had negative effects on plant coverage and arthropod abundance so that arthropod SR declined with increased grazing intensity. Moreover, increased grazing intensity caused an increase in soil pH, decrease in soil moisture, and then a decrease in microbe SR. Our findings confirm that different taxa exhibit diverse responses to changes in grazing intensity, and the way that grazing intensity affects diversity also varied with different taxa. We strongly recommend considering the requirements of multi-taxa diversity when applying grazing management and including arthropods and microbes in monitoring schemes.
