L2 acquisition of Japanese null arguments
Authors: Yusa Mayuko 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Adopting the anti-agreement hypothesis that argument ellipsis is allowed in languages lacking φ-feature agreement, the present study investigates whether second language (L2) learners of φ-feature agreement languages (L1-English L2 learners of Japanese; ELJs) and L2 learners of anti-agreement languages (L1-Mandarin Chinese L2 learners of Japanese; CLJs) can access sloppy interpretations of Japanese null arguments. The results concerning null subjects indicate that both L2 groups behaved similarly to Japanese native speakers (JNSs) by allowing the sloppy reading of null subjects. However, further analysis by L2 proficiency revealed distinct patterns. Intermediate ELJs exhibited L1-transfer of φ-feature agreement, assigning null subjects the strict reading, while the advanced ELJs were able to discard the φ-feature, allowing the sloppy reading. In contrast, CLJs accepted the sloppy reading from the intermediate level, indicating that the absence of the φ-feature functioned as positive transfer. Regarding the results with null objects, both L2 groups performed like JNSs, allowing the sloppy interpretation. Assuming that deleting a feature present in L1 is more difficult than adding a feature absent in L1 to L2, we will explain the results in terms of L1 transfer.
Cross-language facilitatory and inhibitory effects in the naming of Japanese words by Chinese-Japanese bilinguals
Authors: Zhao Xuehan , Xiong Kexin , Kiyama Sachiko 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of orthographic and phonological overlaps between the first language (L1) and the second language (L2) during word naming by adult Chinese-Japanese bilinguals, in the light of the Orthographic Depth Hypothesis which posits that the processing of printed words depends on the extent of grapheme-phoneme correspondence in the language. We compared their naming performance of L2 Japanese words written in moraic hiragana which is not used in their L1 Chinese, morphosyllabic kanji utilized in L1, and a mixed condition. Results indicated a longer latency for naming L2 Japanese words with kun-reading which has no phonological overlap with L1, particularly when written in kanji, which has orthographic overlap with L1. Consistent with the Orthographic Depth Hypothesis, participants performed better for words in hiragana as a shallow orthography than for words in kanji as a deep orthography. Furthermore, this study examined the priming effect of L2 Japanese translation equivalents on L1 Chinese targets. We found more accurate and faster naming of L1 words semantically exposed by L2, suggesting that L2 semantic representation facilitates L1 translation equivalence.

Abstract
In the study, hybrid metal matrix composite (HMMC) structures were produced by vacuum infiltration method (VIM) using Al6061 alloy and varying amounts of SiC, B4C, and TiC ceramic powder pairs. Age-hardening processes were applied to these HMMCs. After heat treatment, wear behavior was examined under different loads using the pin-on-disc test method. All Al6061 hybrid composites exhibited better wear performance than unreinforced Al6061. In the wear tests of composite samples, the lowest volume loss and therefore the highest wear resistance were obtained in Al6061 3 wt.% B4C + SiC composites under 5 N force. The lowest wear resistance due to the highest volume loss was determined in Al6061/1 wt.% TiC + B4C composites under 15 N force. Abrasive and adhesive wear characteristics were observed in field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) images of worn surfaces. Additionally, wear debris, smearing, and deep grove formations were determined on the surface. In the EDS analysis performed on the worn surface, O and Fe elements were found in addition to the elements that are likely to be in the structure (such as Al, B, C, Ti, Si, and Mg). The wear tests caused the formation of oxide layers on the sample surfaces.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) are used in the diagnosis of prediabetes and hypoglycaemia. Data suggest that oxidative stress caused by hyperglycaemia during OGTT may have adverse metabolic effects in prediabetic patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate oxidant and antioxidant levels in OGTT and MMTT.

Methods
The study included 72 patients who underwent MMTT and OGTT at one-week intervals. Total Oxidant Status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) levels were analysed in samples taken from patients at zero, first and second hours of MMTT and OGTT and Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) was calculated, and the data were compared.

Results
OGTT and MMTT results were compared with each other within the patient group. While significant differences were found between first-hour glucose, TOS and OSI values (p<0.01), no significant differences were observed for zero and second-hour values (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in TAS values (p>0.05). When zero, first, and second-hour results were compared for OGTT and MMTT within the same test, no significant differences were found for the other parameters except for glucose (p<0.01 for both tests). The correlation between glucose and TOS, TAS and OSI values in MMTT and OGTT was not found.

Conclusions
Our study concludes that the body experiences more oxidative stress in the first hour following an OGTT than the oxidative stress induced by hyperglycaemia in a mixed-meal diet. Further research is needed to determine whether oxidative stress in the first hour triggers dysmetabolic events in the body.

When cultivating the soil, a force of resistance to the movement of cultivator paw acts on it. It has a variable value and causes a moment of force applied to the riser of the paw. Under the action of the moment, the elastic axis of the riser changes its shape. This affects the position of the paw in the soil. The form of an S-shaped riser whose elastic axis consists of two circle arcs has been considered in this study. During cultivator operation, one part of the riser bends, increasing the curvature of the elastic axis, and the other, on the contrary, unbends, that is, its curvature decreases.
The modeling of the shape of the elastic axis of the paw riser is based on the theory of resistance of materials, according to which the curvature of the elastic axis of the cantilevered band is directly proportional to the applied moment and inversely proportional to its stiffness. If the shape of the cross-section of the riser along its entire length is unchanged and the properties of the metal are also the same, then the stiffness is constant. In the case of small deflections of the band, the linear theory of bending is used, but the deflections in the riser are significant, so the nonlinear theory has been used for this case. At the same time, it is taken into account that the elastic axis of the riser already has an initial curvature, the sign of which changes after passing through the point of connection of the component arcs.
To model the shape of the elastic axis of the S-shaped paw riser, the deformation of the arcs of the circles that form this paw was calculated separately. Numerical integration methods were used to find the shape of the deformed elastic axes of both parts of the riser. They were connected into a whole and a deformed elastic axis of the S-shaped riser was obtained. Two variants of the riser with different lengths of their elastic axis, but the same height and the same angle of entry into the soil, were considered. The combination of the component arcs of the riser shows that, under the action of the same force, the deviation from the specified movement depth for one riser is 2 cm, and for the other – 4 cm.

The object of the study is the conceptual prototype of a microprocessor resource-saving relay protection system. Currently, relay protection ensures electrical networks reliable and efficient work, however, the traditional architecture is proprietary, not allowing to fix and replace damaged parts without a company specialist. Therefore, the open-architecture relay protection is a very pressing issue, but the problem lies in meeting the relay protection requirements. The data transmission protocols nRF and ESP-NOW, Hall sensors evaluation for AC current measurement determination and sensor accuracy improvement was implemented. Experimental validation demonstrated that nRF and ESP-NOW protocols meet the delay and reliability requirements, however, the nRF protocol is more suitable due to its flexibility and obstacle penetration. The data demonstrated that the most effective conditions are without obstacles at 15 meters from the modem and with obstacles 5 meters from the modem. The experiment of Hall sensors characteristics determination demonstrated the accuracy of current measurement with the set values of the opening and closing currents. Nevertheless, it is not accurate (12.45 %) for the relay protection application. Therefore, the application of the changing values of the opening and closing currents is more effective and accuracy reaches 6.92 %. As a result, the service life of the Hall sensor was determined, and even after 10 million openings, the open state time remained unchanged. Therefore, the approximation function for current amplitude determination depending on open state time was found. On the other hand, Hall sensors may suffer from temperature drift and require further optimization to be fully reliable. The study limitation is the current range from 0 to 800 A

Abstract
Filicide, the deliberate killing of a child by a parent, is a rare offence but one that provokes high emotional reactions in almost everyone. Certain factors, such as psychiatric symptoms and social stressors, have been identified as increasing the risk for filicide. The neuropsychiatric complications of systemic lupus erythematosus, such as seizures, mood symptoms, and psychosis, can promote these factors, and health professionals must be vigilant in identifying those parents at risk. In this very unfortunate situation, we present the case of a mother who killed two of her children in the context of seizures, depression, and psychosis. The intricacies of neuropsychiatric sequelae of systemic lupus erythematosus are highlighted.

Grape berry mycobiota is a complex and diverse ecosystem that is constantly evolving during the different berry ripening stages of vines, as well as in musts and wines, which can ultimately impact wine sensorial properties and thus overall product quality. To better characterise the role of this mycobiota in wine off-odours, we studied for the first time changes in Pinot Noir and Meunier grape and must mycobiota and carried out sensorial analyses in the resulting wines, with a focus on fresh mushroom aroma. Grapes from three berry ripening stages, fruit set, veraison and harvest, were collected without sorting bunches from 31 parcels, then laboratory-scale grape crushing was performed to obtain musts, followed by micro-winemaking. For all sample types, both culture-dependent and -independent strategies were used to decipher both species and genus level mycobiota composition. After the winemaking process, sensorial analyses detected 9 laboratory wines with fresh mushroom aroma off-odours. Musts that generated these spoiled wines contained higher total fungal counts, especially Penicillium spp., compared to other musts. A total of seven Penicillium species, including one unidentified Penicillium sp., was detected using the culture dependent approach; this genus represented up to 100 % of all fungal counts in musts linked to FMA wines. Fungal interactions inferred using co-occurrence networks revealed positive interactions between Vishniacozyma, Cladosporium and Penicillium in musts, indicating the possible implication of these three genera in FMA production. Negative interactions were observed in musts between the two yeast genera, Starmerella and Pichia, with Penicillium, Botrytis, Vishniacozyma and Cladosporium, as well as between Metschnikowia with Botrytis and Vishniacozyma. Starmerella, Pichia and Metschnikowia may thus be potential biocontrol candidates for use against Botrytis and Penicillium grape contamination.

A Nonaxial-Type Swirling Cavitating Nozzle for Exploiting Natural Gas Hydrate
Authors: Chen Xiaoping , He Zhipeng , Liu Guangli , Ao Xin 
Published: November 2024

Summary
Natural gas hydrates (NGHs) have garnered widespread attention in the new energy sector, owing to their efficient and clean combustion properties. NGHs are ice-like substances formed by methane and water under high-pressure and low-temperature conditions, abundantly deposited in seabeds and frozen soil of highlands on Earth. However, the rock shelves of NGH reservoirs are mostly fragile and sparsely colloidal. Traditional mechanical mining methods can easily cause rock-shelf collapses, leading to mining accidents. Long-term indoor experiments and pilot mining projects have shown that cavitating nozzles can provide a feasible solution to the problem of efficient mining of NGHs.
To further improve the efficiency of cavitating nozzle mining for NGHs, we have optimized and designed a nonaxial-type swirling cavitating nozzle (NASCN) based on traditional swirling cavitating nozzles (SCNs). Both numerical simulations and indoor experiments have verified the higher mining performance of this nozzle.
In the numerical simulation experiments, we analyzed the cavitation performance, erosion performance, and energy consumption characteristics of different cavitating nozzles using the mixture multiphase flow model and the renormalization group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model. In the indoor experiments, we utilized a jet erosion experimental device for NGHs to analyze the erosion effects of different cavitating nozzles on hydrate samples. The results of these experiments indicate that the NASCN reduces energy consumption by 12% compared with traditional nozzles when there is little difference in cavitation performance and erosion performance. Moreover, under similar energy consumption, the NASCN improves erosion efficiency by 35.2% compared with traditional nozzles. These results demonstrate that the NASCN has good application value in the mining engineering of NGHs.
The Impact of Sedimentology and Diagenesis on the Hydraulic Flow Units Quality of Lower Cretaceous Aradeiba-Bentiu Sequence Reservoir Rocks of Laloba Oilfield, SE Muglad Basin, Sudan

Abstract

The Muglad Rift Basin in Sudan has been discovered to have two significant main hydrocarbon reservoirs: the Aradeiba Formation and the Bentiu Formation. This study endeavours to investigate the impact of diagenesis and depositional lithofacies on reservoir characteristics to improve prediction and deepen the current understanding of reservoir quality. However, this research incorporates fundamental characterisation and examination of cored intervals of the Laloba Oilfield in the Muglad Basin. An analysis of three cored intervals of a well in the Laloba Oilfield in the Muglad Basin of Sudan comprised petrographic, petrophysical, and diagenetic aspects, thereby providing in-depth insight into the reservoir properties of the analysed intervals. Moreover, gamma-ray well log analysis of seven wells performed to emphasise the facies groups. Six principal lithofacies have been identified: fine laminated sandstone (Fl); siltstone and mudstone, ripple marked siltstone (Sr); trough cross-bedded sandstone (St); planar cross-bedded sandstone (Sp); massive sandstone (Sm); and intra-formational conglomerate-size mud clast (Sco). The lithofacies observed exhibit characteristics that reflect a fluvial depositional environment comprising both channel-fill and overbank deposits. The average porosity and permeability values were 24.9% and 1286.5 mD, respectively. Furthermore, the entire studied interval was classified into three hydraulic flow units (HFUs) based on cross plots of the reservoir quality index (RQI), the normalised porosity index (NPI), and the flow zone indicator (FZI). The good, intermediate and bad reservoir quality types are respectively corresponding to HFU-1, HFU-2 and HFU-3. The reservoir quality of the sandstone units from Aradeiba (upper part, Core-1) and Bentiu (Core-3) are grouped under HFU-1, which is greatly affected by the dissolution of k-feldspar particles, leading to enhanced porosity and permeability (visual porosity). However, the HFU-2 and HFU-3 samples are characterised by high cementation of authigenic kaolinite and high mechanical compaction (point grain contact, long grain contact, and concave-convex grain contact), which have lowered and degraded the reservoir properties. Generally, integrated core data analyses provide insight into the impact of depositional and diagenetic processes on reservoir quality, thus improving reservoir quality prediction.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic painful condition affecting 10% of reproductive-aged women with a high prevalence of overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. There is a significant diagnostic delay for endometriosis and current screening practices for endometriosis in gastroenterology clinic populations have not been evaluated. 112 gastroenterology providers (57.5% females, 64.3% physicians) completed an anonymized exploratory survey (40.1% response rate). Most respondents (59.4%) currently do not screen for endometriosis, but the majority (72.1%) reported they would be “extremely likely” or “somewhat likely” to screen for endometriosis after being presented with data on the high prevalence of chronic GI symptoms in patients with endometriosis.
