Heterogeneous Sex Dolls: Outlining a Sociology of Knowledge Approach to the Abject
Authors: Bibbert Mark 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis paper explores the integration of Julia Kristeva’s concept of abjection into the sociology of knowledge, with a particular focus on the cultural phenomenon of hyperrealistic sex dolls. Employing a unique methodological approach, this paper interprets Kristeva’s Powers of Horror through Berger and Luckmann’s The Social Construction of Reality by utilizing two observation-based vignettes. It proposes a novel translation of the abject, typically a psychoanalytic concept, into empirical research frameworks that traditionally emphasize everyday reality. This synthesis extends the boundaries of a sociology of knowledge by incorporating affective responses to transgressive phenomena. The findings suggest that pre-recognition psychoanalytic concepts can significantly broaden the theoretical scope of sociology, offering new lenses to examine events and affects that lie beyond conventional sociological analysis.

Published: September 2024

Context Aerial shooting is an important tool for managing the economic and environmental impacts of widespread wild fallow deer populations in eastern Australia and could be crucial for mounting an effective response to an emergency animal disease incursion. However, there is a concern that the disturbance caused by aerial shooting could cause infected animals to disperse, thereby transmitting pathogens to previously uninfected areas. Aims We sought to describe the nature and extent of spatial behavioural changes in fallow deer exposed to aerial shooting to: (1) assess the risk that aerial shooting poses to disease spread, and (2) better understand how aerial shooting can contribute to routine deer management programs. Methods We contrasted movement rates, activity range areas, and daily activity patterns of 48 GPS-collared fallow deer before, during and after exposure to aerial shooting at three sites in New South Wales. Key results No collared deer left its pre-shoot activity range area during shooting or within 30 days after shooting finished. Observed behaviour changes included increased daily and hourly distance travelled by female deer during and after shooting, increased activity range areas for female deer after shooting, and increased nocturnal activity in female and male deer during shooting. However, observed changes were minor, temporary, localised, and variable among sites. Conclusions Collared deer showed strong site fidelity despite repeated intense disturbance and substantial population reductions. We found no evidence to support concerns that aerial shooting poses a hazard of disease spread. Implications Aerial shooting should be retained as a key control tool for managing wild fallow deer populations in Australia, including for reducing disease host population densities in the event of an emergency animal disease incursion.

Abstract
The extensive integration of high proportions of new energy poses difficulties to the secure and stable operation of power systems. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology, as a large-scale, long-duration energy storage technology, has garnered significant attention. However, CAES systems often work in off-nominal conditions, leading to the issue that capacity configured based on nominal conditions may struggle to meet the demands of wind and solar energy consumption. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the off-nominal operation characteristics of CAES systems, constructs a variable operation condition configuration model for CAES systems, and proposes a configuration method for scenarios involving wind and solar energy consumption. Numerical examples have proven that the proposed configuration method can effectively mitigate the fluctuation of new energy output and satisfy the demand for combined heat and power supply.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Silicone rubber insulation materials are widely used in energy systems. The powdering of silicone rubber sheds is a newly discovered aging phenomenon in recent years, and there is no specific research. In this paper, the powder composition of the composite insulators in coastal areas was studied, and the powdering process of silicone rubber under a high humidity environment of salt fog was repeated in the laboratory. The results show that the powders can be divided into two types according to particle shape, element composition, and molecule groups: the inorganic filler and its dehydrated product and the small molecule siloxane after polymer aging fracture. The particle size of Type I of powder is 3∼8μm, and the particle size of Type II of small molecule siloxane is 0.3∼1.1μm. The surface hydrophobicity of the powdered sample in a salt-fog environment will deteriorate, and the static contact angle will decrease. However, the hydrophobicity will gradually recover after leaving the harsh environment. Powdering of composite insulator silicone rubber in coastal areas is a complex physical and chemical process caused by the combined action of electricity, heat, and moisture. During this, polymer molecular chains break, and fillers gradually precipitate, forming powders.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The heightened initial energy of deposited atoms during the magnetron sputtering process alters the conventional rules of structure zone transformation for film morphology, posing challenges in fabricating Pd films with specific morphologies. This study aims to elucidate the impacts of substrate temperature and sputtering power on the morphology of Pd films and to determine the magnetron sputtering process parameters for preparing Pd films within a typical structure zone. Pd thin films were fabricated by using magnetron sputtering under varying substrate temperatures and sputtering powers. The morphologies of the films were examined through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). With increasing substrate temperature, the structure zone of Pd films transitions from Zone T to Zone 2, and subsequently to Zone 3. Given that initial energy enhances the diffusion capability of deposited atoms, the threshold temperature for structural zone transformation of Pd films prepared by magnetron sputtering is lower than the critical value suggested by the Structure Zone Model (SZM). While sputtering power does not critically affect the structure zone of Pd films, it influences grain size and preferred orientation. The substrate temperature is the decisive factor affecting the structural zone of thin films, with the critical temperature for structure zone transformation in magnetron sputtering being lower than that proposed by the Structural Zone Model (SZM). Furthermore, the research has determined the magnetron sputtering process parameters necessary for fabricating Pd thin films with specific structure zones. This study paves the way for subsequent enhancements in the hydrogen sensitivity of palladium thin film sensors through morphology control.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Prussian Blue and its Analogues (PBA) have achieved fruitful results in the field of electrochromic coloration, yet researchers are ceaselessly seeking extensions in their color-switching capabilities. Metal element modulation in PBA is considered a viable approach. High-entropy Prussian Blue Analogues (HPBA) contain multiple metal elements but lack relevant electrochromic studies. Therefore, this study focuses on HPBA containing Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, and V elements, revealing a yellow-brown color switch with significant modulation in the short-wave region (ΔTmax=48.3% at 294 nm). It also exhibits short response times (9 s/18 s) and good cycling stability (68% retention after 100 cycles). This study can serve as a valuable reference for researchers dedicated to the field of electrochromic coloration in PBA.

Abstract
This paper presents a simulation study on silicon carbide crystal preparation using the Top-Seeded Solution Growth (TSSG) method. The numerical simulation software CGsim was used to develop a model of the crystal growth process. Simulations were optimized for iron as a solvent under various crystal growth conditions. A comprehensive analysis of crystal growth kinetics, including temperature fields, pressure fields, flow fields, and distributions of carbon diffusion flux, yielded optimal conditions. The best solvent ratio was Si: Fe=50: 50, with an ideal growth temperature of 1700°C. The optimal carbon diffusion flux at the seed crystal was determined to be 6.35×10−6 Kg/m2/s, and the average diffusion flux of carbon in the melt was 3.413×10−5 Kg/m/s. The simulation studies offer valuable insights contributing to technological innovation and advancement in producing silicon carbide single crystals using the TSSG method.
Optimization of coupling coils for downhole magnetic resonance wireless energy transmission system
Authors: Tian Erlei 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In drilling engineering, resonant wireless energy transmission technology can effectively solve the problem of frequent charging or battery replacement of cable-less electronic tools downhole. However, due to the narrow space, high temperature, and high pressure inside the oil well, as well as the complex environment where oil, water, gas, and sand coexist, the traditional coil shape is not applicable. Therefore, spiral coils with inner and outer casing are usually used. However, in practice, due to the complex downhole environment, resonant wireless energy transmission coupling devices often encounter difficulties when nested downhole, thus affecting the transmission efficiency. To solve these problems and ensure transmission efficiency, a novel coil coupling model is proposed in this paper, and the power and efficiency expressions of the coupled electrical energy transmission system are derived. Subsequently, the spiral cylinder and the novel coil were simulated and analyzed using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The experimental results show that the model maintains a good transmission efficiency and improves the nesting effect in a complex downhole environment. This study provides a valuable reference for the optimization and design of wireless energy transmission systems.
Determination of critical pressure in the free molecular region and performance analysis of vacuum glass-covered flat plate collector under typical days
Authors: Li Yan , Wu Shuang-ying , Xiao Lan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The pressure of the gas in the interlayer of the vacuum glass-covered flat plate collector (VGFC) is critical in evaluating its performance. Even though the gas in the interlayer under high vacuum conditions is in the free molecular region, the critical pressure is also influenced by external environmental parameters. In this paper, based on the theory of heat transfer of rarefied gas in the free molecular region and the principle of energy balance, a mathematical-physical model of VGFC was established and validated under two typical days’ meteorological parameters of the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The results show that, compared with the spring equinox day, on the summer solstice day, the critical pressure of the interlayer gas under the free molecular region is notably higher and exhibits greater fluctuations. Specifically, the minimum and maximum critical pressures of the gas increased by 7.88% and 16.2%, respectively. Additionally, the heat loss coefficient of the top of the VGFC is also significantly higher than on the spring equinox day, with an increase of 6.58%.
Research on the critical speed of a double span rotor system based on finite element method
Authors: Pei Dan , Ye Zhenqi , Pi Xiaoyan , Zhang Tao 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Double-span rotor systems are commonly used in aerospace engines and large turbines, where critical criticality is critical in their dynamic characteristics. This paper calculates the critical critical value of the rotor through the intervention matrix method and verifies it through the finite element method. The changes in the support and wheel disc were discussed and the results show that the increase in support stiffness, the reduction in wheel disc mass, and the increase in coupling stiffness will increase the critical stress of the double-span rotor. In addition, the increase in the position of the support and the installation position of the coupling will affect the critical point.

Authors: Chen Wei , Yang Zhenbao , Song Jinyang , Zhou Lifu , Xiang Lingchen 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In gas-insulated metal-enclosed transmission lines (GIL), spacers experience surface charge accumulation phenomena when subjected to DC voltage, leading to electric field distortion and spacer flashover under lightning impulse voltage. Therefore, this paper proposes a design approach for dual-purpose bowl spacers capable of suppressing charge accumulation under DC voltage, based on finite element analysis-optimized spacer bowl shape design. Results show that optimized surface electric field strength decreases by 32.5% compared with the non-optimized level.

Abstract
Being an excellent radiation hard material, diamond is
preferred as an ionizing radiation sensor in radiation harsh
environments. In this study, radiation damage from a beam of
67.5 MeV protons at the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory on the campus of
the University of California, Davis, was used to determine exposure
lifetime in detectors made from a thinned (∼ 40 μm)
monocrystalline CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond
substrate. The sensor response was sampled in real time as the
sensor was exposed to a total fluence of
∼ 4×1016 / cm2, yielding an overall damage
constant of
k = (3.3 ± 0.3) × 10-18 cm2 /
p-μm. Damage levels were later confirmed using a
non-destructive x-ray technique at the LINAC Coherent Light Source
(LCLS) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Results are
presented on the real-time degradation of the charge collection
efficiency as a function of proton fluence.
A novel recovery controllability method on temporal networks via temporal lost link prediction
Authors: Qin Yanjiao , Yan Ke 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Temporal networks are essential in representing systems where interactions between elements evolve over time. A crucial aspect of these networks is their controllability the ability to guide the network to a desired state through a set of control inputs. However, as these networks evolve, links between nodes can be lost due to various reasons, such as network failures, disruptions, or attacks. The loss of these links can severely impair the network’s controllability, making it challenging to recover desired network functions. In this paper, while investigating the destructive effects of various attacks on controllability processes in temporal networks, a new controllability recovery method is proposed, in which it prevents disruptions in this type of network processes by predicting lost links. In the proposed method, using network embedding and feature extraction, the dissimilarity of the nodes is calculated and then the missing links are predicted by designing a neural network. The results of the implementation of the proposed method on the datasets have demonstrates that the proposed method performed better than other conventional methods.
Moving from the unknown to the known: a multidisciplinary approach to the identification of skeletal remains from Sandy Point, Australia
Authors: Blau Soren , Hartman Dadna , Stock April , Leahy Fiona , Leditschke Jodie , Smythe Lyndall , Woodford Noel , Rowbotham Samantha 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

When human remains are inadvertently located, case-related circumstantial information is used to generate an identification hypothesis, and the preservation of the remains typically informs which identification methods may then be used to validate that hypothesis. What happens, however, when there is no contextual information to generate an identification hypothesis? This paper presents the case of a near-complete human skeleton discovered at Sandy Point in Victoria, Australia. The circumstances of the case did not facilitate an identification hypothesis, and with no hypothesis to triage the identification process, all possible identification methods were employed. Preservation of the individual meant neither a visual nor a fingerprint identification was possible, and the lack of an identification hypothesis meant there was no antemortem reference data to compare with the postmortem DNA or dental information. Consequently, in addition to historical research, novel methods, such as radiocarbon dating and genetic intelligence, were utilized to complement information provided by the forensic anthropology and odontology analyses, which ultimately resulted in the identification. This example highlights the complexity of cases of unidentified skeletal remains and emphasizes the fact that identification is a process that necessarily requires a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach.

Alternating minimization for generalized rank-1 matrix sensing: sharp predictions from a random initialization
Authors: Chandrasekher Kabir Aladin , Lou Mengqi , Pananjady Ashwin 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We consider the problem of estimating the factors of a rank-$1$ matrix with i.i.d. Gaussian, rank-$1$ measurements that are nonlinearly transformed and corrupted by noise. Considering two prototypical choices for the nonlinearity, we study the convergence properties of a natural alternating update rule for this non-convex optimization problem starting from a random initialization. We show sharp convergence guarantees for a sample-split version of the algorithm by deriving a deterministic one-step recursion that is accurate even in high-dimensional problems. Notably, while the infinite-sample population update is uninformative and suggests exact recovery in a single step, the algorithm—and our deterministic one-step prediction—converges geometrically fast from a random initialization. Our sharp, non-asymptotic analysis also exposes several other fine-grained properties of this problem, including how the nonlinearity and noise level affect convergence behaviour. On a technical level, our results are enabled by showing that the empirical error recursion can be predicted by our deterministic one-step updates within fluctuations of the order $n^{-1/2}$ when each iteration is run with $n$ observations. Our technique leverages leave-one-out tools originating in the literature on high-dimensional $M$-estimation and provides an avenue for sharply analyzing complex iterative algorithms from a random initialization in other high-dimensional optimization problems with random data.
Diffraction by a right-angled no-contrast penetrable wedge: recovery of far-field asymptotics
Authors: Kunz Valentin D , Assier Raphael C 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We provide a description of the far-field encountered in the diffraction problem resulting from the interaction of a monochromatic plane-wave and a right-angled no-contrast penetrable wedge. To achieve this, we employ a two-complex-variable framework and use the analytical continuation formulae derived in Kunz & Assier (2023, Diffraction by a right-angled No-contrast penetrable wedge: analytical continuation of spectral functions. Q. J. Mech. Appl. Math., 76, 211−241) to recover the wave-field’s geometrical optics components, as well as the cylindrical and lateral diffracted waves. We prove that the corresponding cylindrical and lateral diffraction coefficients can be expressed in terms of certain two-complex-variable spectral functions, evaluated at some given points.
