Authors: Fernandes Susana Cristina Ferreira , Cuartero Jesus , Ferreira António Joaquim Mendes 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In order to predict the static deformations and free vibration behaviour of thin and thick cross-ply laminated plates, we integrate Carrera’s unified formulation with a radial basis function collocation technique on a pseudospectral framework, using Reissner’s mixed variational theorem. Numerical examples illustrate the precision and effectiveness of this collocation technique for static and vibration problems.

Abstract
Spectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the interaction between matter and light as a function of wavelength. It is the most convenient method for obtaining qualitative and quantitative information about an unknown sample with reasonable accuracy. However, traditional spectroscopy is reliant on bulky and expensive spectrometers, while emerging applications of portable, low-cost and lightweight sensing and imaging necessitate the development of miniaturized spectrometers. In this study, we have developed a computational spectroscopy method that can provide single-shot operation, sub-nanometer spectral resolution, and direct materials characterization. This method is enabled by a metasurface integrated computational spectrometer and deep learning algorithms. The identification of critical parameters of optical cavities and chemical solutions is demonstrated through the application of the method, with an average spectral reconstruction accuracy of 0.4 nm and an actual measurement error of 0.32 nm. The mean square errors for the characterization of cavity length and solution concentration are 0.53 % and 1.21 %, respectively. Consequently, computational spectroscopy can achieve the same level of spectral accuracy as traditional spectroscopy while providing convenient, rapid material characterization in a variety of scenarios.

Abstract
Achieving independent multitasked wavefront control by using an ultrathin plate is a challenge to increase information capacity in integration optics and radar applications. Transmission-reflection-integrated metasurface provides an efficient recipe primarily for multifunctional meta-device, however it is challenging to synergize both linear polarization (LP) and circular polarization (CP) using a single meta-plate. Here, a multichannel full-space coding metasurface composed of interleaved shared-aperture meta-atom is proposed to achieve large information capacity by capsulating judiciously engineered high efficiency triple sub-elements (modes) in four-layer scheme. By rotating dual-gap split ring resonator and varying size of “L” type structure insulating by a metallic ring with electrostatic-analogue shielding effect, both Pancharatnam–Berry (PB) and dynamic phases are independently realized under CP and LP waves, respectively. Such an extraordinary insulating strategy completely suppresses crosstalk among three modes and unprecedentedly increases the capability in yielding kaleidoscopic wavefront control. To verify the significance, a proof-of-concept metadevice is devised and experimentally demonstrated with tri-channel wavefront manipulations, exhibiting reflective dual-vortex beam and Bessel beam for forward and backward CP wave, respectively at high frequency, while transmissive polarization beam splitting for 45°-LP wave at low frequency. Our finding in polarization-direction multiplexing is expected to generate great interest in electromagnetic integration with emerging degree of freedoms.

Abstract
Optoelectronic synaptic devices have been regarded as the key component in constructing neuromorphic computing systems. However, the optoelectronic synapses based on conventional 2D transistor are still suffering low photosensitivity and volatile retention behavior, which can affect the recognition accuracy and long-term memory. Here, a novel optoelectronic synaptic device based on surface-state-rich CdSe nanobelt photosensitized 2D MoS2 transistor is demonstrated. Benefiting from the excellent light absorption of CdSe and effective charge trapping at the hetero-interface, the device exhibits not only high photosensitivity but also long retention time (>1,500 s). In addition, typical synaptic functions including the excitatory postsynaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, the transformation from short-term to long-term plasticity, the transformation from short-term to long-term plasticity, spike-amplitude-dependent plasticity, and learning-forgetting-relearning process are successfully simulated and modulated by light stimulation. Most importantly, an artificial neural network is simulated based on the optical potentiation and electrical habituation characteristics of the synaptic devices, with recognition accuracy rates of 89.2, 93.8, and 91.9 % for file type datasets, small digits, and large digits are achieved. This study demonstrates a simple and efficient way to fabricate highly photosensitive optoelectronic synapse for artificial neural networks by combining the merits of specific materials and device architecture.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Heat, ultrasonic, microwave, and external energy are the essential conditions in the conventional preparation of nano-cupric oxide (CuO) from copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) precursor. In this work, CuSO4 aqueous solution (0.02 mol) was gradually added dropwise into the methanol/sodium hydroxide (NaOH/CH3OH) solution (0.04 mol) in 20 min at normal temperature and then constantly stirred the black solution for about 5 min; nano-CuO was synthesized. The as-prepared CuO had a high purity and a regular nanosize of 4–10 nm. What is more, the by-product sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) could be separated using a high-speed centrifuge, indicating that the methanol could be conveniently recycled; thereby, an environmentally friendly sustainable route of the preparation of nano-CuO was developed. In addition, the as-prepared nano-CuO was melt-compounded with polyamide 6 to produce fiber composites. The results showed that the nano-CuO was uniformly dispersed in PA6 fiber composites and presented an excellent antibacterial performance. Most importantly, the function of methanol in the dehydration process was revealed.
Against Infinite Nothingness: Ultimate Ground vs Metaphysical Nihilism in Indian Philosophy
Authors: Frazier Jessica 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Idea of a unified foundation of all reality has long been core to many attempts at a fundamental ontology, as well as many arguments for the divine. In medieval India a cluster of arguments for metaphysical inheritance, causal entanglement, the impossibility of fundamental relations and more, were advanced together to show there must be an ultimate and unified ground. But foundationalism has been under attack in both recent metaphysics, and Buddhist philosophy. This article unpacks Vedānta’s defense of divine foundationalism against Madhyamaka Buddhism’s metaphysical nihilism. Firstly, we look at how inheritance arguments for ultimate ground aimed to circumvent the possibility of infinite regress. Secondly, we assess three arguments that this ground is a unified modal anchor, with entangled causal power, providing a connective medium for all phenomena. We address some caveats and limitations, but go on to argue that if they are right, they circumvent the Buddhists’ ‘dualistic’ assumption that if the empirical world is mere imagined convention, it needs no explanation. Monists and nihilists are allies against excessively realist ontologies, but these arguments make a compelling case for some unified fundamental nature from which, as the Upaniṣads put it, all things emerge like sparks from a fire.

AbstractIn this study, a numerical simulation technique is employed to predicate the temperature distribution and velocity profile data of cold and hot nanofluids within a T-mixer was studied. The mixing of nanofluid flow with Al2O3 nanoparticles of 50 nm flows at Φ = 0.4 vol.% in a T-shaped mixer. The present numerical problem has been solved using the COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.4. Six angle of inclination was studied (θ = 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90°) of the gate and evaluated its effects on the temperatures and velocity contour in the T-junction. The study's findings indicated that the presence of a gate in a stationary, non-rotating flow regime has a noteworthy impact on the stationary vortex flow. Also, the mixing occurs more quickly at angles of 45 or 60°. Mixing at a 30° or 90° angle took longer.
Osteomyelitis appearing as bone tumor: a case series
Authors: Kezia Sondang Mukti  , Martadiani Elysanti Dwi , Dewi Putu Utami 
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Focal bone lesions are common and often found on routine radiology examinations. While many lesions are true neoplasms, several bone abnormalities are not tumors. It is essential for radiologists and clinicians to be aware of this possibility and to identify characteristic features that make it possible to differentiate between bone tumors and lesions that resemble bone tumors. This case series will specifically discuss osteomyelitis, which resembles a bone tumor
Case Description: There were three cases with features of osteomyelitis that appeared as bone tumors. The first case is a 3-year-old girl with swelling in her right knee. The differential diagnosis based on X-ray examination are chondroblastoma and aneurysmal bone cyst. The second case is a 24-year-old man with left knee swelling. The differential diagnosis based on X-ray examination is chondroblastoma and giant cell tumor (GCT). The third case is a 45-year-old man with swelling and pain in his right thigh. The differential diagnosis based on X-ray examination is periosteal osteosarcoma. All three cases underwent laboratory examination and showed signs of infection, such as leucocytosis, elevated ESR, and elevated CRP. Histopathology examination of all cases shows chronic inflammation.
Conclusion: On X-ray examination, it is difficult to differentiate between osteomyelitis and bone tumors. Cases of osteomyelitis that resemble bone tumors emphasize the importance of clinical history, laboratory examination, and radiography because they are generally difficult to detect.
Rydberg excitons and quantum sensing
Authors: Heckötter J. , Aßmann M. , Bayer M. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractWithin the last few years, Rydberg excitons, bound electron–hole pairs in highly excited states, have emerged as a promising technology platform for quantum nonlinear optics, quantum information processing, and quantum sensing. The advanced device designs and sensing concepts in these fields require strong nonlinearities at the few-photon or few-carrier level. Rydberg states offer the required strong nonlinearities as the relevant physical quantities at the heart of such nonlinear effects scale strongly with the principal quantum number, n, of the excited state: For example, their polarizability scales as $$n^7$$

, resulting in an enormous sensitivity to external fields. We review recent experimental and theoretical results that pave the way toward quantum sensing of the electric fields originating from static charge carriers and strongly diluted electron–hole plasmas. We also discuss the strong nonlinear optical properties of Rydberg excitons and how they could be utilized in terms of sensing.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF DOUBLE SELF-IMPINGING JETS WITH HIGH REYNOLDS AND WEBER NUMBERS
Authors: Kaźmierski Bartosz , Kapusta Łukasz Jan 
Published: August 2024

Self-impinging liquid jets can provide efficient atomization, which is utilized, inter alia, in rocket engines. The following research presents an analysis of structures formed by the collision of two jets with an impingement angle of 30&#176; under relatively high Reynolds and Weber numbers. Structures formed by two symmetrical water columns impinging at a low angle were investigated experimentally using a high-speed camera and global illumination. It aimed at verifying within what angles (measured in two perpendicular directions) the liquid is distributed depending on the jets' Reynolds and Weber numbers. The results revealed that the spray cloud is highly affected by the ruptures of the liquid sheet, which leads to its immediate disintegration for high Reynolds and Weber numbers of jets. Increased dimensionless numbers resulted in a wider spray angle observed in a normal direction to the plane of jets. At the same time, the angle viewed parallel to the jets' plane decreased, indicating a possible transition from a planar to a conical spray shape. When these two dimensionless numbers are high enough, intensive atomization of wide, symmetrical spray can be achieved even under low injection pressures (&#8804; 1 MPa).

Published: August 2024

COVID-19 has profoundly impacted the already vulnerable pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food supply chains, leading to disruptions in their sourcing processes. Hence, it is crucial to emphasize the universal imperative of enhancing resilience in Global Value Chains across various industries in today’s interconnected global economy. It seeks to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted GVCs and influenced the availability of critical resources. We have investigated the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on Global Value Chains due to its widespread disruption of supply chains, which has posed immediate challenges for businesses and necessitated resilience strategies. Our research reveals a consistent relationship between impact levels observed in domestic and international contexts. Changes in domestic impact levels closely align with those observed abroad, indicating a robust positive correlation. This correlation emphasizes the interdependence of sourcing challenges across both domestic and international spheres. We propose near-shoring as a management strategy by integrating regional market trends alongside digital transformation to optimize supply chain resilience, enabling businesses to cope with fluctuations in markets and take advantage on new possibilities.

This study aimed to evaluate an internship programme for preservice teachers. The program evaluation model uses the Kirkpatrick Model which consists of four levels: reaction, learning, behaviour, and outcome. This model is suitable for evaluating internship programmes in reviewing the development of preservice teachers from the initial level to the completion of the internship programme targets. This study involved prospective teachers (n=205) in Economics and Business at the Universitas Negeri Medan. Data were collected online using a Google Forms questionnaire over two months in 2022. Data analysis used quantitative description to explore the programme achievements at each level in depth. The findings showed that the mean of reaction (5.05), learning (5.20), behaviour (4.96), and outcome (5.03) were above the ideal mean of 3.50. Internship programme participants have met the average achievement target of Kirkpatrick's four-level model, where learning evaluation is more meaningful for student teachers when participating in the internship programme compared to other levels. Overall, with this research, it is hoped that internship programme managers can design more targeted and measurable programmes to improve the experience of prospective teachers.

An anesthesia quality improvement initiative implemented an evidence-based, preemptive, preventive multimodal analgesic regimen to improve perioperative pain outcomes for women undergoing hysterectomy. Though statistical significance was not achieved, clinically significant decreases in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) narcotic usage, pain ratings, time in the PACU, and opioid related side effects were observed. This analgesic regimen was easily implemented, readily modifiable, and suitable for expansion to multiple surgical populations to supplement customary anesthesia perioperative care.
