Detection and Mechanical Interpretation of Surface Displacement by Volcanic and Anthropogenic Interactions around Bandung Basin, through Multi Temporal Interferometric SAR (MT-InSAR) Technique
Authors: Sabrian P G , Saepuloh A , Septyandy M R , Heriyanto  , Putri A D 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate capability of MT-InSAR (Multi Temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar) technique for measuring the surface displacement caused by tectonic, volcanic, and anthropogenic activity around the Bandung Basin, West Java, Indonesia. For this, persistent scatterer (PS), small baseline subset (SBAS), and combined PS and SBAS techniques are adopted. The results reveal different displacement patterns within two areas anthropogenic-caused subsidence in the middle Bandung city and geothermal production field, and volcanic-caused uplift in the northern area around the Tangkuban Parahu volcano. In addition, each InSAR tehnique shows unique spatial deformation. A significant pattern is located around the Wayang Windu geothermal field that large displacements has been occurred around injection, production wells. Those detected displacements are crucial for mitigating geological hazards as well as geothermal production monitoring.

Abstract
The formation of Gunung Benau is associated to the geological structural process. This study uses remote sensing using DEMNAS data resampled at 10 meters. The DEMNAS data will be modeled using the modified Segment Tracing Algorithm (mSTA) and Fault Fracture Density (FFD) approaches. Surface geological mapping methods involve observations, descriptions, direct measurements, and field data recording of data appearances and geological conditions on the Gunung Benau. The structure which found in Gunung Benau is a shear joint with syncline and anticline folds and nine faults identified. The mSTA’s main lineament directions, Northeast-Southwest and Southeast-Northwest, are consistent with the area’s geological structure. The FFD shows that the highest density values occur in the central region of Gunung Benau, where faults are extensively exposed.
Groundwater well rehabilitation using hydropuls method: a case study in wonosobo groundwater well
Authors: Aryawicaksona S , Muhammad A S 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Hydropuls is one of the groundwater well rehabilitation methods that involves pulsing highly compressed nitrogen gas through screen pipes at an adjustable interval. Nitrogen gas was chosen because of its colorless, odorless, and inert properties. The aquifer lithology of this groundwater well is sand, gravel and breccias (member of Sundoro Volcanics; Qsu) with silty clay as the impermeable layer that makes the aquifer type is confined aquifer. The following methods were used in this well rehabilitation: step tests before, borehole camera before, hydropuls, airlifting, borehole camera after and step test after well rehabilitation. Thin section analysis shows that sediment mostly consists of lithic fragments and plagioclase. The results of the polished section analysis reveal that most of the metallic minerals are magnetite and hematite. The XRF results show that the sediment mostly consists of SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3. According to the XRD results, the sediment is mostly albite. The interpretation of sediment analysis shows that the clogging is caused by iron precipitation. The result is an average increase in specific capacity of 1.43 l/s/m (a 168% increase over the initial conditions) and an average drawdown improvement of 2.56 m (a 114% improvement compared to pre-hydropuls conditions). Borehole camera imaging confirmed that the precipitation on the screen was removed and the screen is in good condition.
Parameter identification by eigenfeature analysis: application to 2D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky surface models
Authors: Reiser D , Brenzke M , Wiesen S 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
We have developed a system that makes it possible to derive parameters of a Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) model from a single given two-dimensional profile of surface structures, such as those produced by ion and plasma irradiation. The numerical method is inspired by well-known approaches to facial recognition. Starting from a scaled version of a KS Model to describe surface erosion, a training set of surface profiles is created. Each profile is assigned an appropriate feature in Fourier space and a Singular Value Decomposition is used to determine an orthogonal set of eigenfeatures that allow each profile to be assigned a point in the space of this basis and to determine the distances between them. It turns out that the profiles belonging to different model parameters are clearly separated from each other in this feature space, which enables very good identification. We explain the basic relationships using a synthetic data set and discuss the possibilities for applications to experimental results.
Improved corrosion resistance of hydroxyapatite-reinforced plasma electrolytic oxide coatings on AZ31 alloy from one-step and two-step fabrications

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The improved corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) counteracts its apatite-forming ability. To overcome the issue, apatite-containing coatings were fabricated. One-step and two-step fabrications were compared to incorporate the nanoparticle hydroxyapatite (HA) in the coating and to evaluate their effect on the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by polarization test and EIS measurement in 0.9% NaCl solution. The electron microscopy and chemical analysis revealed that the HA particles were dispersed in the one-step coatings, while an interspersed HA distribution was observed in the two-step coatings. The dispersed particles enhanced the coating’s hardness from 490 to 554 HV. In the two-step coatings, the HA particles mainly accumulated inside the pores, reducing the coating porosity down to 3.9%. The one-step coatings were more stable in the corrosive solution, offering a remarkably higher corrosion resistance, than the two-step coatings. Moreover, the one-step coating required a shorter (half) processing time (10 min) than the two-step process (20 min) to achieve a similar order of corrosion current density of 10−7 A cm−2. The results demonstrated that the arrangement of reinforcement in the PEO coatings and its effect on the corrosion resistance can be adjusted.
Material circularity and environmental quality in the EU: what causes what and where?

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Although the green and blue dividends associated with circular economy have been widely advocated, whether circular economy necessarily guarantee environmental quality remains unclear. To provide a more precise insight, in this case for a novel case of all the European Union countries, environmental effect of the share of used material resources from the reuse of waste materials is examined over the period 2010–2021. The results reveal that the reuse of waste materials statistically (i) increase CO2 emissions in most quantiles in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, and Slovenia, (ii) mitigate CO2 emissions in most quantiles in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Spain, and Ireland, and (iii) either increasing or reducing CO2 emissions depending on the quantile of material circularity use rate and CO2 emissions in Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Latvia. This result points to a more policy driven approach.
Racialized Commodities
Authors: Parmenter Christopher Stedman 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBetween circa 700 and 300 BCE, the ancient Greeks developed a vivid imaginary of the world’s peoples. Ranging from the light-skinned, “gray-eyed Thracians” of the distant north to the “dark-skinned Ethiopians” of the far south (as the poet Xenophanes would describe around 540 BCE), Greeks envisioned a world populated by human groups with distinct physiognomies. Racialized Commodities traces how Greece’s “racial imaginary”—a confluence of thinking about cultural geography, commodity production, and human physiognomy—emerged out of the context of cross-cultural trade between Greece and its Mediterranean neighbors over the Archaic and Classical Periods. For merchants, the racial imaginary might be used to play up the “exotic” provenance of their goods to consumers; it might also circulate practical information about customs, pricing, navigation, and doing business in foreign ports. Archaic Greek attempts to explain foreign bodies were rarely pejorative. But in the early Classical Period such images coalesced into the charged, idea of the barbaros, “barbarian.” Drawing from the historiography of trade in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, Racialized Commodities adopts the model of “commodity biography” to investigate the entanglement of cultures, bodies, and things in Archaic and Classical Greece. Starting in the period circa 700–450 BCE, Part 1 focuses on the earliest images of African peoples, described by Greeks as Egyptians or Ethiopians, in Greek art. Part 2, which concentrates on the period between 550 and 300 BCE, seeks to explain how and why negative stereotypes of Thracians and Scythians were so widespread in ancient Greece.
A Short History of Natron
Authors: Parmenter Christopher Stedman 
Published: August 2024

AbstractPart 1 of Racialized Commodities asks how and why Greeks began to see the bodies and cultures of Egyptians or Ethiopians as fundamentally different from their own. Chapter 1 begins with a structural analysis of the factors that drew a Greek merchant diaspora to Egypt in Late Period. An early fifth-century customs register (TAD C3.7) documents a high-volume export trade from Egypt to Greece in natron, a mineral evaporite used in textile production, bathing, and medicine. I propose that Egypt exported circa 27,000 kg natron annually to Greece in exchange for circa 125 kg silver and 3 kg gold. Doing so, Egyptian authorities mobilized a cheap, easily obtained mineral in exchange for precious Aegean silver. The author argues that the natron trade undergirded a broader cultural exchange between Greece and Egypt between circa 700 and 400 BCE.
Journeys into Slavery
Authors: Parmenter Christopher Stedman 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe second half of Racialized Commodities argues that the earliest Greek stereotypes of people from the north—the “Thracians” and “Scythians” imagined as light-skinned, dim-witted, and enslavable in Greece’s racial imaginaire—dates to the expansion of the ancient Greek slave trade along the northern and western Black Sea coasts after circa 550 BCE. Chapter 4 uses an epigraphic corpus of thirty-seven letters, inscribed by slave traders onto lead tablets between circa 550 and 450 BCE, to reconstruct individual journeys taken by captives as they were conveyed from freedom north of the Pontic steppe to enslavement in Greece. Reconstructing the travels of individual slaves allows us to pursue a study in the spirit of what Joseph C. Miller has called the “biographical turn” in the study of slavery, privileging the experiences of enslaved people over the accounts of their masters. Although the lands around the distant Black Sea were never the leading source of enslaved labor for Aegean cities, the wealth of primary testimony from the region puts it at the forefront in the history of slavery in ancient Greece.
Slavery and the Balance of Trade
Authors: Parmenter Christopher Stedman 
Published: August 2024

AbstractChapter 5 explores the economics of the ancient Greek slave trade along the Black Sea coast. Classical Greek literary sources exaggerate its importance. In actuality, the Pontic slave trade in antiquity was mostly intra-regional. This chapter draws on three datasets—the distribution of coinage, amphorae, and shipwrecks—to reconstruct the paths of the long-distance slave trade in the ancient Black Sea, argue for its scale, and explain both its persistence and visibility in the literary record. In the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, Athens created a deliberate trade surplus that left cities along the Black Sea in constant need to export bulk commodities in exchange for Athenian silver. Enslaved captives were never the predominant export of Black Sea cities. Rather, mobilizing the “human resource” represented a fallback strategy, a resource mobilized in times when marketable commodities were in short supply.
Women’s Inclusion and Political Violence
Authors: Karim Sabrina , Hill, Jr. Daniel W 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 explores the connection between women’s (political) inclusion and political violence. The chapter starts out by conceptualizing women’s inclusion and developing a measure for it using the kind of model described in Chapter 2. The rest of the chapter is focused on theorizing about the connection between women’s inclusion and interstate war, intrastate conflict, repression, and terrorism. These arguments can be usefully grouped into two types. The first group of arguments has to do with the idea that women as individuals or as a group tend to behave in certain ways or have particular preferences that differ in systematic ways from men. A second group of arguments focus on the how perceived stereotypes about women who are included in public spaces affects the behavior of political actors. The results show that women’s inclusion in political spaces is negatively correlated with terrorist attacks.
Against the Non-Ethical Tyranny of Outcomes
Authors: Hurley Paul 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe argument here demonstrates that the same two mistakes undergirding the intuitive and ethical arguments for consequentialism, the conflation of senses of bringing about and the unwarranted imposition of an Outcome-Centered Constraint on Value, account for the illusory appeal of the outcome-centered accounts of attitudes, actions, and reasons grounding the non-ethical argument for consequentialism. Just as attempts to consequentialize target ethical theories fail, altering and mischaracterizing the target theories in the attempt, so too strategies of propositionalizing target desires fail, altering and mischaracterizing the aims and objects of, rationales provided by, and evaluative outlooks partially constitutive of these target desires. Propositionalizing typical desires captures neither the objects of such desires, nor the rationales for action they provide, nor the guise under which their objects are taken to be good; it captures only the constitutive consequent of realizing the desire’s object. With the failure of the outcome-centered account of desires, the non-ethical argument for consequentialism is undermined.
The Inadequacy of Supplemental Grounds for the Non-Ethical Argument
Authors: Hurley Paul 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe chapter highlights and argues against three considerations that might seem to shore up outcome-centered accounts of practical attitudes. It considers first whether appeal to the contrasting directions of fit of beliefs and desires provides support for the outcome-centered account of desire, and demonstrates that it does not; indeed, that Anscombe’s actual contrast reinforces an account of desires that is not outcome-centered. It next considers arguments from explanatory symmetry and simplicity, demonstrating that simplicity is no friend of the outcome-centered account of desires, and that a simple, symmetrical understanding of such attitudes as distinguished by their distinctive guidance—by the true and the good—provides no support for an outcome-centered account. Finally, the chapter considers whether a reductionist metaphysical naturalism provides such support, demonstrating that although certain extreme metaphysical positions may support an outcome-centered account of desires, a wealth of other metaphysical positions, including avowedly naturalist ones, do not.
The Shape of the Real
Authors: Allen Emily , Felluga Dino Franco 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter lays out the mechanisms used by the realist novel in its approach to temporality. In the novel’s circular logic, the future gets locked into the actual in the present moment that sets us onto a single temporal path, thus foreclosing alternative possibilities; and it is also the vantage point from which we will understand that moment as bound to the past, the end already shaped by its beginning. This version of temporality is the one that we now take as reality, one in which we are the agents of our fate: our actions will determine the future, and we must choose well because, once we act, our future will be fixed. We propose an alternative approach to temporality inspired by recent philosophical work on “the event” and the future anterior by Alain Badiou, Jean-Pierre Dupuy, and Slavoj Žižek.
Charles Dickens and the Novel-Verse
Authors: Allen Emily , Felluga Dino Franco 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this chapter, we examine how realist fiction handles the time–action–character nexus, which is felt everywhere, but nowhere so obviously as in those crisis points tied to coincidence, chance, accident, and chaos. As the poor cousin of design, coincidence spoils the illusion of causal connection its own temporal property creates. It embeds within itself a realm of counterfactual possibility that it both cancels and preserves: these events might (not) have been connected. We provide examples in Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot before concentrating on Charles Dickens, who helps us to lay bare the temporal mechanisms employed more surreptitiously in other Victorian novels—and which these realist novels suggest we can apply to reality itself. We finish by examining A Tale of Two Cities, which illustrates how the novel form deals with revolution.
Lord Byron and the Novel
Authors: Allen Emily , Felluga Dino Franco 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
As we illustrate in this chapter, the most influential novelists of the period spent entire novels working through the formal challenge of Byron, which reveals the possibility that Byron directly influenced the rise of the novel in ways that have not been fully appreciated. Our goal is to be productive, not exhaustive, in our exploration of Byron’s influence on the genre of the novel. We address several novels briefly so that we can illustrate in a single chapter just how pervasive the novel’s engagement with Byron really was across the nineteenth century. By prying open the gap between structure and content, we aim here to demonstrate how a particular antirealist legacy is written into and over by Victorian realism in ways that fit what would become in hindsight the predominant novelistic mold.
Arthur Hugh Clough and the Non-Event
Authors: Allen Emily , Felluga Dino Franco 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Unlike Barrett Browning’s revolutionary call from a Hereafter demanding to be planted in this Now, Clough asks us to consider the impossibility of event, be it personal act or historical occurrence, love or revolution. Like Byron and Barrett Browning, Clough challenges the dominant ways for making sense of temporality and the subject in the nineteenth century, both on the side of the novel and on the side of the lyric, but he does so without adopting the future-anterior temporality we explored in Chapters Five and Six. Examining a verse-novel that rejects the radical possibilities we read in Byron and Barrett Browning helps us to understand better what is required for the structural logic of the future anterior to be implemented in a literary work. We illustrate in this chapter how, structurally, Amours de Voyage is closer to the logic of the novel’s approach to the optative, the might have been.
The thorny intersection of personal opinion and arbitrator impartiality: lessons from Crescent Petroleum and other cases
Authors: Al-Khasawneh Ali , Liborio Garrido de Sousa Vanessa 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
With the rising use of social and other media as a means of self-expression, arbitrators have been facing an increased risk of disqualification due to a perceived lack of impartiality based on their public pronouncements on controversial topics. This particular scenario crystallized for renowned international arbitrator Charles Poncet in late 2023, when the ICC Court of Arbitration (ICC Court) disqualified him in a multi-billion-dollar case involving Crescent Petroleum against the National Iranian Oil Company, due to comments that were perceived to display an anti-Muslim bias made during a television broadcast in August of the same year. The same issue has arisen in other cases with varying outcomes, depending on context and the strength of the arbitrator’s expression. While requirements for the public conduct of national judges are comparatively strict, the same cannot be said for those applying to arbitrators, whose standard for impartiality is based primarily on the need to avoid conflicts of interest, whereas the impact of apparent biases, perceivable through their public statements, seems to have been largely overlooked.
Eighteen genes primarily expressed in the testis are not required for male fertility in mice
Authors: Yamamoto Kaito , Hiradate Yuki , Ikawa Masahito 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
There are approximately 20 000 protein-coding genes in humans and mice. More than 1000 of these genes are predominantly expressed in the testis or are testis-specific and thought to play an important role in male reproduction. Through the production of gene knockout mouse models and phenotypic evaluations, many genes essential for spermatogenesis, sperm maturation, and fertilization have been discovered, greatly contributing to the elucidation of their molecular mechanisms. On the other hand, there are many cases in which single-gene knockout models do not affect fertility, indicating that tissue-specific genes are not always critical. Here, we selected 18 genes whose mRNA expression is restricted to the testis or higher than in other tissues, but whose function in male reproduction is unknown. We then created single-gene KO mouse models using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The established KO males were subjected to mating tests and screened for effects on fecundity, revealing that these genes were not essential for spermatogenesis and male fertility. This knowledge will contribute to understanding the functions of genes characteristic of the testis and identify the cause of male infertility.
Nonparametric second-order estimation for spatiotemporal point patterns
Authors: Liang Decai , Liu Jialing , Shen Ye , Guan Yongtao 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Many existing methodologies for analyzing spatiotemporal point patterns are developed based on the assumption of stationarity in both space and time for the second-order intensity or pair correlation. In practice, however, such an assumption often lacks validity or proves to be unrealistic. In this paper, we propose a novel and flexible nonparametric approach for estimating the second-order characteristics of spatiotemporal point processes, accommodating non-stationary temporal correlations. Our proposed method employs kernel smoothing and effectively accounts for spatial and temporal correlations differently. Under a spatially increasing-domain asymptotic framework, we establish consistency of the proposed estimators, which can be constructed using different first-order intensity estimators to enhance practicality. Simulation results reveal that our method, in comparison with existing approaches, significantly improves statistical efficiency. An application to a COVID-19 dataset further illustrates the flexibility and interpretability of our procedure.
