Risk-benefit comparative analysis of different control methods for reservoirs under the water to electricity mode
Authors: Yan Xiaoran , Yu Hongjie , Liang Mengyu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
For some small hydropower stations that are not under the control of power dispatching department, there are many ways to implement the reservoir operation scheme formulated under the premise of determining power by water. This paper respectively selects the output, flow and water level process as the control conditions, explores the risks and benefits of reservoir operation with different control variables, and selects the optimal operation scheme through comprehensive comparative analysis. Simulation results of a hydropower station in the Han River Basin show that when the output is taken as the control condition, the waste water is small, the power generation benefit is high, and the risk of the water level outside boundary is within the acceptable range. Considering the risk and benefit of reservoir operation and taking output as the control condition, it has significant advantages over water level and flow.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Global warming is a serious threat common to all countries. The technological revolution and sustainable development of energy have become the international consensus. While ensuring economic benefits, promoting low carbon environmental protection of comprehensive energy system has become a top priority. Therefore, this paper designs a low-carbon economic scheduling system based on consistency theory. First, the importance of user demand response should be considered in the integrated energy system to ensure the economy of scheduling. Secondly, the improved step-step carbon trading mechanism is used in the algorithm to improve the low carbon performance of scheduling. Then, the distributed consistency algorithm is used to schedule the integrated energy system to realize the most energy output of each unit. In addition, a noise function is added to the algorithm for encryption and desensitization to prevent user privacy leakage. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed economic scheduling method.
Fluctuation relations for a few observable currents at their own beat
Authors: Garilli Alberto , Harunari Pedro E , Polettini Matteo 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Coarse-grained models are widely used to explain the effective behavior of partially observable physical systems with hidden degrees of freedom. Reduction procedures in state space typically disrupt Markovianity and a fluctuation relation cannot be formulated. A recently developed framework of transition-based coarse-graining gave rise to a fluctuation relation for a single current, while all others are hidden. Here, we extend the treatment to an arbitrary number of observable currents. Crucial for the derivation are the concepts of mixed currents and their conjugated effective affinities, that can be inferred from the time series of observable transitions. We also discuss the connection to generating functions, transient behavior, and how our result recovers the fluctuation relation for a complete set of currents.
Quantization of two- and three-player cooperative games based on QRA
Authors: Eryganov Ivan , Hrdina Jaroslav , Návrat Aleš 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this paper, a novel quantization scheme for cooperative games is proposed. The circuit is inspired by the Eisert–Wilkens–Lewenstein protocol, which was modified to represent cooperation between players and extended to 3–qubit states. The framework of Clifford algebra is used to perform necessary computations. In particular, we use a direct analogy between Dirac formalism and Quantum Register Algebra (QRA) to represent circuits. This analogy enables us to perform automated proofs of the circuit equivalence in a simple fashion. The expected value of the Shapley value concerning quantum probabilities is employed to distribute players’ payoffs after the measurement. We study how entanglement, representing the level of pre-agreement between players, affects the final utility distribution. The paper also demonstrates how the QRA and GAALOP software can automate all necessary calculations.
Qualitative analysis of rivers sand sources (Silica sand, Ravi river sand, Indus river sand, and Jhelum river sand) for metal casting: a comparative study
Authors: Channa Muhammad Yousaf , Anwar Jehanzaib , Kalsoom Razia , Abidi Syed Hussain Imam 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Recent geological investigations revealed extensive use of Silica sand in Pakistan resulting in depletion of tectonic resources. Hence, it is important to explore cost-effective and alternative sources of sand for its applications. Also, Pakistan has a river network that provides river sand as a potential substitute for Silica sand. However, it is essential to systematically study and assess the potential applicability of river sand as an alternative to Silica sand. In this context, this study examined sand samples collected from various rivers in Pakistan to investigate their suitability for metal-casting molds. For that purpose, random samples were selected from major rivers in Pakistan for characterization by utilizing chemical composition analysis, microscopy, XRD, TGA-DSC (thermogravimetric analysis), clay content analysis, grain size distribution analysis, pH measurement, green and dry compression strength testing, shear strength testing, permeability analysis, shatter index analysis, compactibility testing, and Specific gravity measurement. The chemical composition analysis revealed that all types of sands contained over 90% SiO2 content. The mechanical tests demonstrated that river sand exhibited acceptable mechanical properties, with a moisture content ranging from 4.5%–5%. The pH value of all the sands exceeded 7, making them suitable for casting purposes. These investigations suggest that river sand can be effectively utilized in casting applications by implementing pre-processing techniques and incorporating additives.
Optimization of wear and friction behaviour of fish scale powder filled natural fibre/glass fibre hybrid epoxy composite in dry sliding condition
Authors: Sarkar Debrup , Teyi Nabam , Borah Pranjal , Chetia Pulakesh 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to look at the wear and friction properties of a unique composite material made up of fish scale powder, natural fibres, and glass fibres embedded in an epoxy matrix. The growing demand in many industries for eco-friendly and sustainable materials has resulted in the development of hybrid composites that combine natural and synthetic reinforcements. The goal of this study is to improve the wear resistance and frictional qualities of composite material under dry sliding conditions. The wear and friction behaviour of the composite is optimized using the Response Surface and Taguchi approach, which entails constructing a set of trials based on a statistical model. The significant components, which include fish scale powder content, natural fibre type and content, and sliding parameters, are carefully varied to determine the best combination that results in the least amount of wear and friction. The accuracy of the regression models exceeded expectations. According to Taguchi’s findings, F and V have the largest impact on wear loss and friction, respectively. Fish scale powder has shown great promise as a filler for enhancing the wear resistance of composites, as seen by the study’s findings. The optimized composite has exceptional wear resistance and low friction, making it a suitable alternative for dry sliding applications.
Discretionary Punishment (Ta’zir) in Islamic Jurisprudence and the Islamic Penal Code
Authors: Khodadadi Bahman 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 takes up the first type of punishment incorporated into the Islamic Penal Code of 2013 under the rubric of ‘ta’zir’. The definition, sphere, and limits of the discretionary punishment (ta’zir), as it occurs in Shiite Islamic jurisprudence, are discussed to elucidate a theoretical justification according to which Iranian legislators have criminalized a wide range of behaviours. The chapter focuses on the critical evaluation of how the religious coercive rule of ta’zir is supported by the Constitution in practice and how it can be applied by criminal court judges as an instrument for punishing a sinner whose sin has not necessarily been codified as a crime in the Islamic Penal Code (i.e. at a judicial level). Accordingly, the argument points to the fact that we are facing a so-called umbrella sentencing theory that not only addresses deliberate rule violations stipulated in the Islamic Penal Code but also an unwritten catalogue of sins.
Animal Biographies
Authors: Sugiyama Nawa 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter builds on zooarchaeological and isotopic data from previous chapters to narrate osteobiographies of key participants of the ritual spectacle. These biographies center the experiential narratives of the complex and sometimes tenuous relationships during direct human–predator contact, including the perils and hardships of management in captivity. These encounters are part of the ritualization process, including specific decision nodes to “set apart” or consecrate the wild carnivore into a ritualized body. The Aztec Toxcatl festival, featuring the transformation of a war captive into the deity Tezcatlipoca, demonstrates how inter-corporeal relations produced the ritualized body. Likewise, the decision nodes in the ritualization process of acquisition, management, postmortem manipulation, and sacrifice and/or deposition for corporeal animal forms coordinated intimate interpersonal ties, transforming these apex predators into master guardian animals and mediators of Teotihuacan’s sovereignty formations.
Forest (landscape) restoration governance

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Taking a critical social-constructivist perspective and highlighting the power of ideas in forest landscape restoration (FLR) governance, this historically informed contribution seeks to unpack the different rationales at play in global FLR governance. Drawing on three interlinked analytical dimensions—institutions, interests, and ideas (3Is)—the chapter elaborates on three (de)legitimizing narratives of FLR (win-win, implementation, critique) and on the underlying institutions and interests in which their discursive power rests. Based on the 3Is, we identify and critically discuss three key distinct logics that drive FLR policy and practice: (i) the global sustainability logic, (ii) the community logic, and (iii) the production logic. We conclude that if the inherent historical power structures in FLR design and implementation are not recognized and addressed, then the currently dominant FLR logics are likely to produce many “win-lose” or “lose-lose” projects.
Forest restoration, biodiversity, and ecosystem services

Abstract
This chapter uses the CICES framework to review results from studies on forest restoration’s effects on ecosystem services (ES), focusing on biodiversity, nutrient cycling, water cycling, and provisioning and cultural services. We discuss trade-offs between ES for different restoration methods and their specific applications, examine disservices resulting from forest restoration, and detail variation in outcomes across time and space. Our review shows most studies focus on just a few regulating and maintenance services. Provisioning and cultural services remain underrepresented. Very little research is devoted to disservices. It is poorly understood how these (unintentional) restoration results balance with services and how they differ between stakeholders. We find that context matters in forest restoration projects, as it defines appropriate methods, outcomes, and implications. A broad, multifunctional focus in restoration is needed to identify trade-offs between ES in different forms of restoration, to weigh services and disservices, and to evaluate total restoration success.
Financial, ecological, political, and social feasibility of forest restoration targets
Authors: Keenan Rodney J , Louman Bas , Brand David , Ojha Hemant , Xi Luo 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter reviews the feasibility, constraints, and opportunities of global restoration goals, including the extent of suitable land, technical issues, financial investment, and social factors. Sufficient suitable and degraded agriculture or forest land exists to meet global area targets for restoration; but availability of this land is questionable, given it is currently used by local people. Sufficient capital is also potentially available, but it is mostly in private or institutional funds that seek a financial return along with social or environmental outcomes. Achieving global forest restoration goals will need to encompass multiple restoration approaches and enjoy social and political support. Approaches will need to include productive forest uses and integrating trees with agriculture, involve local people in goalsetting and implementation, and clarify their ownership of restored trees and forests. Improving institutional arrangements and coordination across government agencies and private stakeholders can support integrated investment at the required scale.
The Suicidal State
Authors: Kishi Madoka 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Suicidal State theorizes a biopolitics of suicide by mapping the entwinement between the Progressive Era discourse of “race suicide” and period representations of literary suicide. Like the present-day white nationalist discourse of “replacement theory,” race suicide frames white Americans’ low birth rate as a sign of their imminent extinction caused by over-fertile immigrants. Casting willful nonreproduction as racial self-killing, race suicide played a fundamental role in the transformation of racial and sexual taxonomies, consolidating the US biopolitical state. While race suicide thus endowed the populational subject—the “race”—with suicidal subjectivity, Progressive Era literature gave birth to a microgenre of literary suicides, including works by Henry James, Kate Chopin, Jack London, Gertrude Stein, and a series of Madame Butterfly texts. The Suicidal State reads these suicides as literalizing the fear of race suicide as they articulate queer deathways that betray the nation’s reproductive imperative. In examining suicide’s aspiration to sidestep the biopolitical imperative to live and reproduce, The Suicidal State examines the ways in which the suicidal undoing of the self reconfigures agency, subjectivity, and intimacies with its attempt to elude biopower’s discipline of the individual and its management of the population. Through tracking queer potentialities of suicide, The Suicidal State offers a new account of sex and race, of the relation between the individual and the collective, and of the formation of a biopolitical state that Foucault calls a “racist State, a murderous State, and a suicidal State.”
Gertrude Stein’s Melting Pot
Authors: Kishi Madoka 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Charting the gradual assimilation of eastern and southern European immigrants into the US social body, this chapter argues that a range of alimentary metaphors for the huge influx of immigrants—“racial indigestion,” “alien indigestion,” and the “melting pot”—were deployed to imagine their digestive assimilation into the US social body. In The Making of Americans (1925), Gertrude Stein takes up an alimentary metaphor from the other end of the gastrointestinal tract: excretion. Reading Stein’s text across several drafts, this chapter argues that Stein dismantles the earlier versions’ Jewish familialism to reimagine the production of Americans as the social body’s excremental process. In so doing, Stein replaces the cluster of associations between Judaism, racial reproduction, and heterosexuality with linkages between queerness, anal pregnancy, and literary production. David Hersland’s suicidal self-starvation, in this reading, erases his own Jewishness, transforming himself and other descendants of immigrants into unmarked Americans.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Scott MacDonald explains the background and structure of the final part of his “avant-doc” trilogy, in which he explores the work of filmmakers, many of them underappreciated, who create films that combine documentary and “avant-garde” approaches in inventive and revealing ways. Comprehending Cinema combines in-depth interviews with accomplished filmmakers interspersed with panoramic essays that explore particular bodies of cinema, including the modern “cinematic nocturne” and widely varied archival responses to the anniversary of World War 1.
Su Friedrich, part 2
Authors: MacDonald Scott 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Su Friedrich talks about her films since Sink or Swim (1990), about working through a break-up with her partner, about making her first feature for independent television (about the struggles of young girls recognizing their same-sex preference), about confronting her many medical procedures, about where her cheap cup of morning coffee comes from, about switching from analog shooting and editing to digital, about losing a loft to the gentrification of her longtime Brooklyn neighborhood, about struggling with moving her independent mother to an assisted-living facility—then about producing a major website about the history of women film editors, and about working with Louise Archambault Greaves to create a new website for canonical filmmaker William Greaves, and most recently to document her day-to-day life today.
Lunar Phases
Authors: MacDonald Scott 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Irish filmmaker Tadhg O’Sullivan’s cine-rumination, To the Moon (2021), evokes the moon as it has been represented through history and across geography in cinema and literature. O’Sullivan created a network of filmmakers from many countries to shoot moonlight scenes, and asked archivists from various national archives to find representations of the moon that moved them. He combined clips from a century of cinema with his own images and the images offered by other contemporary filmmakers, organizing all of this into complex representations of the various phases of the moon. O’Sullivan’s commitment to analog shooting allows film imagery shot a century ago and ten years ago to evoke the continuity of cinema over its first century, as a metaphor for the moon’s continuing presence throughout every human generation.
Dean Fleischer Camp, from Marcel the Shell with Shoes On to Fraud, and Back Again
Authors: MacDonald Scott 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
After Dean Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slate’s YouTube video Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2010) went viral, they worked for years to find a way to make a feature-length stop-motion/normal action hybrid with Marcel as the main character. In the meantime, Fleischer Camp directed Fraud (2016), transforming family YouTube postings into a suspense narrative (would the audience suspect what he was doing?)—a modern day David Holzman’s Diary (1967). Finally, Fleischer Camp and Slade were able to find support from Cinereach, A24, Isabella Rossellini, and Leslie Stahl, and the feature Marcel the Shell premiered in 2022 and was nominated for an Oscar.
Bill Morrison
Authors: MacDonald Scott 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Bill Morrison’s recent films are revelatory in very different ways. In The Village Detective (2021) reels of film dredged up from the ocean floor led to an exploration of popular cinema produced in the USSR and a popular film star, Mikhail Zharov—a world of cinema the inverse of both the Soviet montage explorations of the 1920s and modern, “slow cinema” reactions to it. Morrison provides a sense of what Russian movie lovers were seeing as the Communist project evolved during Stalin’s reign. Buried News revives attention to early twentieth-century racial incidents, revealing similarities and differences to the current moment; and Incident (2023) reveals the unprovoked killing of an African American barber and its immediate aftermath, using only imagery and sound from police body cameras, dashboard cameras, PODs (Police Observational Devices), and security cameras.
The GenoPred pipeline: a comprehensive and scalable pipeline for polygenic scoring
Authors: Pain Oliver , Al-Chalabi Ammar , Lewis Cathryn M 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Motivation
Polygenic scoring is an approach for estimating an individual’s likelihood of a given outcome. Polygenic scores are typically calculated from genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics and individual-level genotype data for the target sample. Going from genotype to interpretable polygenic scores involves many steps and there are many methods available, limiting the accessibility of polygenic scores for research and clinical application. Additional challenges exist for studies in ancestrally diverse populations. We have implemented the leading polygenic scoring methodologies within an easy-to-use pipeline called GenoPred.

Results
Here, we present the GenoPred pipeline, an easy-to-use, high-performance, reference-standardized, and reproducible workflow for polygenic scoring. It requires minimal inputs and offers various configuration options to cater to a range of use cases. GenoPred implements a comprehensive set of analyses, including genotype and GWAS quality control, target sample ancestry inference, polygenic score file generation using a range of leading methods, and target sample scoring. GenoPred standardizes the polygenic scoring process using reference genetic data, providing interpretable polygenic scores. The pipeline is applicable to GWAS and targets data from any population within the reference, facilitating studies of diverse ancestry. GenoPred is a Snakemake pipeline with associated Conda software environments, ensuring reproducibility. We apply the pipeline to UK Biobank data demonstrating the pipeline’s simplicity, efficiency, and performance. The GenoPred pipeline provides a novel resource for polygenic scoring, integrating a range of complex processes within an easy-to-use framework. GenoPred widens access to the leading polygenic scoring methodology and their application to studies of diverse ancestry.
