Published: November 2024

The aim of the experiment was to study the effect of the nutrient supply of suckling and growing rabbits on productive traits. The experiment was set-up using a 2x2 factorial design. Half of the litters were nursed by one doe and the other half by two does. Kids were weaned at 3 weeks of age. From the age of 4 weeks each group was halved and one part was fed ad libitum (AL) and restricted feeding (RF) was applied for the others. The productive traits of 136 nursing and growing rabbits were examined. The nursing method affected the kids’ body weight but the difference between groups was significant only till 4 weeks of age (443 and 523g, P<0.05). The daily weight gain and feed intake were independent of the number of nursing does but the feed conversion between 6 and 9 weeks of age was significantly superior to kids nursed by one doe (2.99 and 3.29 g g–1, P<0.01). The effect of feeding scheme was significant on feed intake and weight gain from 4 weeks and on the body weight between 12 and 16 weeks of age. The feed conversion was better between weeks 9–12 in AL while between weeks 12 and 16 in RF group. The body weight of rabbits in groups of AL nursed by two does and RF nursed by one doe were 1042 and 950, 1875 and 1763, 2671 and 2502, 3549 and 3392 at the age of 6, 9, 12 and 16 weeks, respectively.

Exploring concentration-dependent transport properties on an unsteady Riga plate by incorporating thermal radiation with activation energy and gyrotactic microorganisms
Authors: Ali Naim Ben , Mahmood Zafar , Rafique Khadija , Khan Umar , Adnan  , Muhammad Taseer , Kolsi Lioua 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the entropy generation (EG) associated with the transfer of mass and heat in a concentration-dependent fluid with thermal radiation and activation energy, specifically in the context of an unsteady Riga Plate with gyrotactic microorganism. It is important to solve the ordinary differential equations generated from the controlling partial differential equations using Lie symmetry scaling to verify their quality and reliability. The system’s anticipated physical behavior is compared to Mathematica’s Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg numerical solution. Source parameters are essential for validation since they offer accurate results. Methodically change these values as a percentage to determine how they affect the unsteady fluid’s density, mass, and heat transfer over the Riga plate. Velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration and microorganism concentration profiles decrease with varying values of the unsteadiness parameter. EG increases with increasing values of concentration difference, thermal radiation, and Reynold number parameters. The Nusselt number experiences a 26.11% rise as a result of radiation when the unsteadiness parameter is

, in comparison with the scenario without radiation. Mass transfer upsurges with increasing values of the Brownian motion parameter and reduces with increasing values of thermophoresis parameter. To verify our conclusions, we compare calculated data, specifically the skin friction factor, to theoretical predictions. Tabular and graphical data can show how physical limits affect flow characteristics.
The Use of Islamic Legal Discourse in Literature: How Did Premodern Arab Critics Classify and Analyze Legal Intertextuality?
Authors: Rizzo Luca 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This essay investigates the use of Islamic legal discourse in literary works and the characteristics that this type of intertextuality develops in premodern Arabic literature. Starting with the theoretical classification of legal intertextuality found in works of rhetoric and literary criticism, I analyze ten poetic examples in order to shed light on how legal intertextuality is used by poets to both develop the argumentation within a text and achieve aesthetic goals. Specifically, I analyze two figures of speech that are used to create this intertextuality: Iqtibās, the definition of which is extended to the quotation of or allusion to legal terms, ideas, concepts, and tenets in literature, and tawriya/tawǧīh

, which is used to explain how citing technical legal terms conveys twofold meanings. The result is an investigation that looks at both theory and practice and attempts to reclassify legal intertextuality based on the empirical data found in the sources.
Medieval Rabbinic Literature Seen in a New Light: The Sources of Yalkut Shimoni on the Book of the Twelve Prophets
Authors: Marx Farina 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Yalkut Shimoni compiles important annotations from rabbinic literature to each book of the Hebrew Bible. The voluminous commentary cites more than 50 traditional rabbinic texts including sources which have been lost. Most academic research on the Yalkut Shimoni has focused on reconstructing these lost sources such as Midrash Yelamdenu, other research issues about Yalkut Shimoni have been neglected. This paper will focus on the Yalkut Shimoni on the Book of the Twelve Prophets. The author of the Yalkut Shimoni was not able to rely on consecutively commentaries on the Twelve Prophets such as for example the commentaries on the book of Numbers. This paper will therefore focus on the question of compilation techniques. Consequently, the author had to use pieces of commentaries on the Torah or other biblical books where Minor Prophets are cited used these to compile them to a new commentary. Furthermore, he puts these fragments together without naming the sources or introducing them to the text. This paper will show how the author combines the Palestinian and the Babylonian tradition. The author uses different techniques to cut and inweave different commentaries. Furthermore, the focus lays on the ongoing discussion whether the Yalkut Shimoni can be seen as a compilation at all. If this important work can be proofed to be no compilation, it has severe consequences especially for the reconstruction of lost sources quoted inside the Yalkut Shimoni.
Review on peak detect and hold circuits and their applicability in partial discharge detection
Authors: Fritsch Martin , Andres Christoph , Wolter Martin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article reviews various designs of electrical peak detect and hold circuits and tests their applicability for the detection of partial discharge pulses. Since partial discharges are very short pulses in the nanosecond range, the peak detector circuit must be very fast and thus work precisely over a wide bandwidth up to the GHz range. The article begins with a comprehensive literature review and gives an overview of the state of the art of peak detector circuits. As a result of the literature research, four different peak detector designs are identified that appear suitable for measuring partial discharges. These four circuits are then simulatively tested for their performance in measuring the pulse height of various partial discharge pulses. It turns out that two of the identified circuits are able to measure nanosecond pulses of small amplitude. These two circuits must be further optimized for partial discharge detection in the future. In addition, the circuit should be tested prototypically with real partial discharge pulses.
Unlocking the therapeutic potential and personalized therapy of testosterone: a comprehensive review
Authors: Reddy Aditya V. , Kesavan Ramasamy , Priyadharsini Rajendran , Deva Reka 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, orchestrates various physiological processes including sex differentiation, development of male characteristics, sperm production, and fertility. Its synthesis primarily occurs in Leydig cells within the testes, with smaller contributions from the ovaries and adrenal glands, all derived from cholesterol. Current therapeutic use of testosterone is mainly confined to treating hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, with limited off-label usage for augmenting muscle growth.

Content
This review delves into numerous studies investigating testosterone’s therapeutic potential across various medical conditions as depicted in the figure given below.

Summary
Of all the studies in this review, which show a positive therapeutic result by using testosterone, the most promising areas of potential usage of testosterone are anxiety and diabetes mellitus, followed by obesity and depression.

Outlook
By the medium if this study, we want to not only enlist the various potential therapeutic uses of testosterone, but also promote a optimal hormonal balance, which can lead to prevention and/or better treatment outcomes for the mentioned diseases.
Partial colexifications reveal directional tendencies in object naming
Authors: Tjuka Annika , List Johann-Mattis 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Expressions in which the word for a body part is also used for objects can be found in many languages. Some languages use body part terms to refer to object parts, while others have only a few idiosyncratic examples in their vocabulary. Studying the word forms referring to body and object concepts, i.e., colexifications, across languages, offers insights into cognitive principles facilitating such usage. Previous studies focused on full colexifications in which the same word form expresses two distinct concepts. Here, we utilize a new approach that allows us to analyze partial colexifications in which a concept is built out of the word forms for two separate concepts, like river mouth. Based on a large lexical database, we identified body and object concepts and analyzed 39 colexifications across 329 languages. The results show that word forms for body concepts are used slightly more frequently as a source for object names. However, the detailed examination of directional tendencies and colexifications of word forms between body and object concepts reveals linguistic variation. The study sheds light on meaning extensions between two concrete domains and showcases the synergies that arise through the combination of existing data and methods.
Cross- and multimodal anaphoric references in mystery movies: A cognitive perspective
Authors: Bonifazi Anna , Ioannidou Pinelopi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The article presents findings from both quantitative and qualitative research regarding the resolution of cross- and multi-modal anaphoric references to objects in two Sherlock Holmes movies directed by Guy Ritchie. The goal is to illustrate how words referring to objects are linked to images depicting the objects as well as sounds produced by the objects to constitute coreferential chains with respect to the viewers’ perception. The theoretical assumptions draw concepts primarily from cognitive linguistics (such as mental spaces, compression, frame-metonymic relations), with additional notions adopted from (verbal) semantics, pragmatics, visual semantics, and film studies. A cognitive account of regular and associative cross- and multimodal anaphora is suggested, along with a model for the representation of cross- and multi-modal coreferential chains for future manual and automated annotation tools. Overall, the work emphasizes the importance of considering both verbal and nonverbal cues in understanding anaphoric references in cinematic contexts by highlighting the cognitive processes involved while viewers integrate information from different modes.
Notes on the acquisition of L2 English intervention structures: a case of Japanese EFL learners
Authors: Fujimori Atsushi , Nakayama Mineharu , Yoshimura Noriko 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper discusses Japanese-speaking EFL learners’ acquisition of English object relative clauses (ORC), which have intervention (Relativized Minimality) structures. Specifically, we contrast their early understanding of the ORC and the Subject Control constructions with their late understanding of the Subject Raising (seem) construction that exhibits a structural effect of locality on the filler-gap relation. We argue that relativization and the Control structure in Japanese induce hierarchical structures on par with those in English. Therefore, the learners have acquired a way of avoiding intervention during the process of acquiring the ORC and the Control structures in Japanese. L1 grammatical knowledge helps nullify the intervention effect in acquiring the constructions in L2 English. On the other hand, it takes time for them to overcome the effect by learning the seem raising structure with a specific strategy because Japanese does not have a construction similar to it. L1 Japanese critically influences the acquisition of L2 English with respect to the intervention configurations.
Aging-Related Information Needs and Barriers Experienced by LGBT+ Older Adults
Authors: Winberry Joseph 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Society is experiencing a global shift in which older people now outnumber children five years and younger in many countries. This demographic aging has profound implications for library and information professionals, and yet research into the information needs of older adults – especially from diverse backgrounds – remains underdeveloped. This study seeks to help address this gap by studying the aging-related information needs and barriers of LGBT+ older adults. Interviews with 25 LGBT+ older adults in East Tennessee were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify five need (e.g., culturally competent care, LGBT+ specific services, social support, planning, and caregiver services) and seven barrier (e.g., stigma, discrimination, fewer personal resources, identity concealment, staff limitations, personality, ageism and elder abuse) themes. Beyond the aging focus, the study brings attention to the need for more research on intersectional populations in general and offers one of the first – perhaps only – studies of the information needs of LGBT+ older adults. It also presents a challenge to librarians and other information professionals in considering how to fight inequities for intersectional populations. Future research will consider how to meet needs and address the barriers LGBT+ older adults face.
Diffusion kinetics of borided of low entropy soft magnetic FeCo alloy
Authors: Mertgenç Ersan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The growth kinetics of boride layers were investigated by boronizing the FeCo low entropy alloy produced by arc melting reverse vacuum system with the pack boriding method at temperatures of 1173 K, 1223 K, 1273 K and for 2, 4, 6 h. FeCo alloy has a single-phase FCC crystal structure and there are linear cracks and homogeneously distributed point voids in its microstructure. The hardness of FeCo alloy is between 170 HV0.05 and 265 HV0.05. The boride layer appearance has a sawtooth appearance, and the layer thickness varies between 62 µm and 172 µm depending on temperature and time. According to the XRD pattern, (CoFe)B and (CoFe)B2 triple phases are present on the boride layer surface. With pack boriding, the hardness of the boride layer increased up to 2262 HV0.05, and the surface hardness of the alloy improved by 8–10 times. The boride layer activation energy of the FeCo alloy boronized with pack boriding was calculated as 89.065 kJ mol−1.
Influence of stitching on the interlaminar fracture toughness energy – modes I and II – of unidirectional GFRP
Authors: Backens Simon , Schmidt Stefan , Flügge Wilko 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The influence of stitching on the delamination resistance of unidirectional glass fiber-reinforced plastic laminates depends strongly on the loading mode. The application of a lock stitch with a stitch density of 3.4 cm−1 perpendicular to the fibers results in an increase of the interlaminar fracture toughness energy, mode I, G
IC by a factor of 2.7 compared to an unstitched reference laminate. The Kevlar threads are pulled out of one half of the DCB specimen leaving large frayed fiber bundles sticking out of the other half. The same stitching, however, does not improve the interlaminar fracture toughness energy, mode II, G
IIC. The Kevlar threads are not able to deform the surrounding matrix thereby expending additional energy. They fail directly at the mid-plane of the ENF specimens. An increased stitch density of 11.6 cm−1 can be expected to lead to a further significant increase in the G
IC value. But the tight stitching pattern causes the bonded metal hinges to tear off. The force introduction would have to be changed to enable testing of corresponding DCB and subsequently ENF specimens.
Individuals, Existence, and Existential Commitment in Visual Reasoning
Authors: Lemanski Jens 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article examines the evolution of the concept of existence in modern visual representation and reasoning, highlighting important milestones. In the late eighteenth century, during the so-called golden age of visual reasoning, nominalism reigned supreme and there was limited scope for existential import or individuals in logic diagrams. By the late nineteenth century, a form of realism had taken hold, whose existential commitments continue to dominate many areas in logic and visual reasoning to this day. Physical, metaphysical, epistemological, and linguistic positions underlie both nominalist and realist views. Since the paradigmatic works on visual reasoning in the 1990s, formal diagram systems have been developed that revive either the nominalist or realist perspectives. Unlike in the nineteenth century, these are not motivated by philosophical views. Nevertheless, they may still have an impact on many areas of philosophy and science outside logic.
Performance evaluation of a scramjet engine utilizing varied cavity aft wall divergence with parallel injection in a reacting flow field
Authors: Maheswaran Nagarathinam , Jeyakumar Suppandipillai , Jayaraman Kandasamy , Karaca Mehmet 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The effect of implications of the dual cavity with aft wall divergence in a parallel injection reacting flow has been numerically investigated. This research intends to emphasize the behaviour of the supersonic flow under varying divergence angles of the cavity aft wall. A two-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation and an SST k-ω turbulence model with a single-step chemical reaction for hydrogen-air are utilized for the simulation. Followed by the strut injector, the cavities are positioned symmetrically inside the combustor. The bottom cavity aft wall divergence varies, whereas the top wall is mounted with a rectangular cavity. The performance of cavity locations is compared with the baseline DLR model. From the evaluation of numerical outcomes along with different cavity configurations, it has been noted that the 15-degree cavity divergence angle enhances the recirculation zone which leads to improved mixing performance. Also, the cavity improves the combustion stability by increasing the flow residence time. From this numerical analysis, it is associated that an almost 20 % reduction in combustor length is achieved, however, an 18 % rise in the pressure loss is noted because of emanating shock waves from the cavity edges.
