Partial information target defense game in the presence of a line segment obstacle
Authors: Xu Jingwen , He Qiyong , Meng Min , Li Xiuxian , Yan Jiaqi 
Published: April 2024

AbstractA two‐player planar target defense game where the intruder attempts to breach the circular region guarded by the defender in the presence of a fixed line segment obstacle is addressed. Based on prior research, the entire game was divided into three phases to address the partial information problem. Additionally, the impact of obstacles on the game outcome is thoroughly analyzed. In contrast to the scenario without obstacles, this paper presents redesigned strategies for both defender and intruder, accompanied by quantitative results illustrating the influence on the winning probability. Finally, illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effect of the obstacle.
Lebenskunst als Einheit der Gesundheits-, Krankheits-, Beistands- und
Sterbekunst im sozialkulturellen Kontext
Authors: Engelhardt Dietrich v. 
Published: April 2024

ZusammenfassungLebenskunst wurde seit der Antike immer wieder mit der Kunst des Gesundseins, des
Krankseins, des Beistands und des Sterbens verbunden, die heute meist
auseinanderfallen. Kunst und Literatur, Medizin und Wissenschaften wie ebenfalls
die Realität bieten zahlreiche und auch für die Gegenwart stimulierende
Beispiele. Darstellungen und Deutungen der Vergangenheit können der
Humanisierung der Wirklichkeit im individuellen und sozialen Leben wie ebenso
der Humanmedizin in der Therapie und Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung dienen. Antike,
Mittelalter und Neuzeit setzen jeweils spezifische Akzente, erinnern aber
zugleich an überzeitliche Dimensionen.

Authors: Mollin Julian , Klug Lisa , Joost Theresa , Beyer Ute , Mayer Frank , Erler Thomas 
Published: April 2024

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDas Restless-Legs-Syndrom (RLS) ist eine häufige schlafbezogene Bewegungsstörung, gekennzeichnet durch einen Drang zu Beinbewegungen verursacht durch Missempfindungen. Symptome treten vorwiegend abends oder nachts auf und bessern sich durch Bewegung. Im Kindes- und Jugendalter ist das RLS unterdiagnostiziert, sodass es zu einer verzögerten, angemessenen Behandlung und einem erschwerten Zugang zu spezialisierter Versorgung kommt. Die Folge sind Tagesmüdigkeit und schlechte schulische Leistungen. Die Diagnose erfordert das Erfüllen der Kriterien der Internationalen Restless Legs Syndrom Study Group (IRLSSG) unter Berücksichtigung einer alters- und entwicklungsabhängigen Symptombeschreibung. Verschiedene Diagnoseinstrumente (Fragebögen, Laboruntersuchungen, Polysomnografie) unterstützen die Diagnosefindung und das Abgrenzen von Differenzialdiagnosen. Die Therapie umfasst nicht-medikamentöse Ansätze wie Schlafhygiene und Bewegung sowie off-label Eisensubstitution. Die Therapieentscheidung sollte unter Berücksichtigung von Symptomen und Leidensdruck individuell getroffen werden.

Background The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score, recently proposed by the American Heart Association, represents a new paradigm for evaluating cardiovascular health (CVH). We aimed to explore the association between CVH, estimated using LE8, and venous thromboembolism (VTE) incidence.
Methods A total of 275,149 participants were recruited from the UK Biobank and divided into high (LE8 score ≥ 80), moderate (LE8 score < 80 but ≥ 50), and low (LE8 score < 50) CVH groups. Restricted cubic spline analysis, the Kaplan–Meier method, and the Cox proportional hazards model were used to explore the association between CVH and VTE. The genetic predisposition to VTE was assessed with a polygenic risk score. Sensitivity analyses were performed to validate the results.
Results During a median follow-up of 12.56 years, VTE developed in 506 (4.09%), 6,069 (2.78%), and 720 (1.66%) participants with low, moderate, and high CVH levels, respectively. Compared with the low CVH group, participants in the moderate and high CVH groups had a 23% (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71–0.85) and 41% (HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.52–0.66) lower risk of VTE, respectively, after adjusting for demographic characteristics, medical history, socioeconomic status, and genetic predisposition. This association remained robust in multiple sensitivity analyses. Higher CVH levels led to a more pronounced reduction in the risk of VTE in females and could appreciably offset the genetic risk of VTE.
Conclusion Higher CVH levels were significantly associated with a lower incidence of VTE, encouraging efforts to increase LE8 scores in individuals.
Dynamic of binary molecular systems—Advantages and limitations of NMR relaxometry
Authors: Leal Auccaise Adriane Consuelo , Masiewicz Elzbieta , Kolodziejski Karol , Kruk Danuta 
Published: April 2024

1H spin-lattice relaxation studies have been performed for binary systems, including glycerol as the first component and alanine, glycine, and aspartic acid (with different levels of deuteration) as the second one. The relaxation studies have been performed in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 10 MHz vs temperature. A theoretical framework, including all relevant 1H–1H and 1H–2H relaxation pathways, has been formulated. The theory has been exploited for a thorough interpretation of a large set of the experimental data. The importance of the 1H–2H relaxation contributions has been discussed, and the possibility of revealing dynamical properties of individual liquid components in binary liquids has been carefully investigated. As far as the dynamical properties of the specific binary liquids, chosen as an example, are considered, it has been shown that in the presence of the second component (alanine, glycine, and aspartic acid), both molecular fractions undergo dynamics similar to that of glycerol in bulk.
The bee and the flower
Authors: Chatterjee Ariktam 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter is an attempt to understand human translation of cultural texts generated through human agency as a
structural continuation of biotranslation prevalent in the natural world. It begins by analysing bee communication and orchid
mimicry as examples of biotranslation located within the tripartite biosemiotic model of Carlo Brentari, following Jakob von
Uexküll, and finally arrives at a method in translation studies that prioritises cooperative engagements through an inclusive
theory of semiotic hospitality. For this, the model of the Samavasarana from Jain philosophy is applied, both because of its
ecological expanse, and its structural affinity to Brentari’s biosemiotic model. Concluding Kierkegaard’s temporal realm of
human concerns to be the reason for functional cleavage between the semiosphere from the biosphere, resetting that connection
is the purpose of this article.
Translation and biosemiotics
Authors: Baer Brian James 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The emergence of biosemiotics in Soviet translatology and related fields has a unique history, which is related to
the adoption and adaptation of Saussurean linguistics to various fields, beginning with literature. This chapter traces this
trajectory in two distinct periods. The first period covers the initial adoption of formalist concepts by translation
scholars, such as Dmitrii Usov and Andrei Fodorov, in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The second period relates to the
rediscovery of Russian formalism in the post-World War II period, and its role in the evolution of the concept of translation
among the scholars of the Moscow-Tartu Semiotic School, focusing on the writings of Juri Lotman.
The complex time of signs
Authors: Atã Pedro 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Semiosis develops under the conditions of semiotic complexity. Translation directly addresses such conditions, like
non-linearity, perspective pluralism, emergence, material diversity. In this work, I suggest that the complexity of sign
processes is related to their time. I make use of C. S. Peirce’s theory of categories and process philosophy, to suggest that
the complex nature of sign action is related to the way the time of signs is multilayered. In this framework, translation can
be conceptualised as a temporal operation that redistributes the time of signs so that source signs habitually recur in target
signs. This approach suggests a focus on the irreducible gaps in the time of signs, such as in situations of surprise, or
break of habit.
Assessing the impact of climate action mitigation strategies from livestock production: A review – Solution for greenhouse gases mitigation
Authors: Terefe Geberemariyam , Walelegne Mulugeta 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

The main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are enteric fermentation from ruminants and manure management. An integrated strategy-combination approach incorporating nutrition and manure management is necessary to dramatically reduce GHGs and the carbon footprint of milk production. The aim of this review was to assess the effect of climate action mitigation strategies on the GHG production of ruminant animals. This review was based on the different references, which are textbooks, journals, proceedings, conferences, and abstracts accessed through Agricola, Agris, CAB Abstracts, Embase, MEDLINE, and the Web of Science. The research findings were done by using dairy cattle, sheep, and goat; the numbers of animals used in each experiment were given the majority of attention, and decisions were also made based on the method used to quantify methane (CH
4
) and nitrous oxide. Enteric CH
4
per unit of milk was reduced by 6–8% when higher-starch corn silage was used in place of barley or alfalfa silage. Cows fed seaweed (1.77–2%, on dry matter [DM] basis) experienced a linear drop in enteric CH
4
emission from 383 to 400 g/d. Supplementation of vegetable fats (6%) and coconut oil (12 g/day) to ruminant diets can decrease CH
4
emissions by 21–40% and 50–61.2%, respectively. Similarly, the addition of 21.5 g nitrate/kg DM reduces CH
4
yield (17%) in sheep. Bovaer can reduce methane emissions (30%) for dairy cows. Feed processing and additives are alternative strategies to minimize GHG production in ruminants, but further studies on additives and their residual effect on livestock output is needed.
When Dogs Talk: Technologically Mediated Human-Dog Interactions as Semiotic Assemblages
Authors: Lind Miriam 
Published: April 2024

AbstractPets using “talking buttons” to ostensibly tell their owner about their thoughts and needs have become a huge success on social media. With buttons that upon activation play a prerecorded message, these devices are marketed as tools in teaching human language to animals in order to allow them to “speak their minds.” This article investigates these practices of technologically mediated human-dog interactions through the analysis of social media videos and examines the claim that these button-based interactions are illustrative of animals’ language acquisition. This article concludes that “talking buttons” in human-dog communication should rather be understood as semiotic assemblages in which meaning is collaboratively constructed through the dynamic, situated interaction of bodies, linguistic resources, objects, and touch.
Voices, Bodies, and the Cultural Organization of Meaning
Authors: Levon Erez , Holmes-Elliott Sophie 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article examines how the “arbitrary content of culture” (Bourdieu 1977) comes to be inscribed onto patterns of sociolinguistic variation. Specifically, we consider the role of iconicity in this process. Studies of iconicity and variation to date have tended to focus on the iconic properties of the speech signal itself (e.g., an association between higher-frequency sounds and smallness). We bring these ideas about sound symbolism into dialogue with research on embodied behavioral codes, which link particular forms of bodily comportment and their associated qualia with specific social categories and positions. We suggest that certain claims about sound symbolic meanings may be better interpreted as derived effects of socially meaningful bodily hexis. Our arguments are illustrated through a consideration of two variables, both of which have received widespread attention in the literature on variation in English: the backing and lowering of the short front vowels and the fronting/backing of /s/. We discuss how treating these variables from the perspective of socially inculcated bodies can provide a unified account of their observed sociolinguistic patterning and help to shed light on how variables accrue social meaning more generally.
More Than Signs: International Sign as Distributed Practice
Authors: Kusters Annelies 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article makes a case for understanding International Sign (IS) as a distributed practice. IS, a translingual practice, arose from interactions among individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds, integrating signs from multiple national sign languages and leveraging iconic and transparent features of sign language lexicons and grammars. At the heart of IS is the principle of calibration, an adaptive process aimed at aligning signs to foster mutual understanding. This study delves into the use of IS in an adult education classroom in Denmark, where IS includes not only the use of signs but also their interplay with technology and writing. The discussed examples suggest that IS is a fluid process in which people shift between conventional and adaptive signing. Furthermore, the examples showcase an intricate relationship between signing and forms of writing, suggesting that the latter should not be seen as separate from IS.
Inverse design of two-function transmission-type reconfigurable polarization control metasurfaces based on deep learning
Authors: Hu Yanwen , Ma Yaodong , Zhou Wenying , Zhang Tingrong , Chen Qingyang 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Compared with single-function metasurfaces, the design difficulty of multi-function metasurfaces increases significantly. This paper introduces an inverse design method based on deep learning to address this challenge. By this method, a transmission-type reconfigurable polarization control metasurface (TRPCM) with two functions is rapidly designed. The network model used in the method consists of an electromagnetic parameter reconstruction network model and an inverse prediction network model. The combination of the two models can solve the problem of difficulty in defining high-dimensional inputs in traditional inverse design, and achieve accurate prediction of metasurface structure parameters under given design targets. To optimize the hyperparameters of the neural network model, a genetic algorithm was introduced. To solve the non-uniqueness problem of inverse design, a method for eliminating similar data by calculating Euclidean Distance was introduced. Both schemes further improve the predictive performance of the proposed network model. Finally, six design targets were set based on the TRPCM. The structural parameters of the metasurface were successfully predicted using two neural network models and achieved the required performance. On this basis, a set of parameters was selected for experimental validation. By controlling the ON or OFF of the PIN diodes, the fabricated metasurface achieves two functions: linear-to-circular polarization conversion and linear polarization maintenance in the range of 2–3.6 GHz. Study results show that the inverse design scheme proposed in the paper is feasible and practical for solving the rapid optimization design of complex multi-function metasurfaces.

Abstract
The first asymmetric mode (A1 mode) lamb wave resonator (LWR) with a resonant frequency of 6 GHz based on Z-cut lithium niobate (LN) films is presented. An asymmetric electrode structure with different-sized electrode pads in the center and edged regions has been proposed, which can be used to optimize the distribution of the electric field and decrease acoustic impedance mismatch to improve the target mode. Experiment results reveal that LWRs with an asymmetric electrode structure can successfully enhance the A1 mode, achieving a high effective electromechanical coefficient (

) of 26%, a quality factor (Q) of 1123, and an excellent figure-of-merit (FOM =

∙Q) of 262. It demonstrates that asymmetric electrode structure provides a new way to suppress the spurious modes for LWRs and shows a great application prospect in wide-bandwidth and low-loss filters used in the sub-6 G frequency range.
Measurement of aero-engine feature-hierarchy fusion degradation trend based on parameter-adaptive VMD method and improved transformer model
Authors: Lu Junze , Jiang Wei , Xu Yanhe , Chen Zhong , Ni Kaijie 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The accumulation of operational time in aero-engines leads to irreversible mechanical wear and tear, necessitating accurate measurement of the health evolution trend for effective predictive maintenance, thus reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring personnel safety. In this paper, a parameter-adaptive variational mode decomposition (VMD) method and improved transformer model are proposed to forecast the degradation trend of aero-engine feature hierarchy fusion. Firstly, in order to quantitatively evaluate the engine health evolution process, the health state aggregate indicator (HSAI) is innovatively constructed by employing the deep blend auto-encoder and self-organizing map network, which facilitate the feature-hierarchy fusion of multi-source sensory data. Secondly, for the significant characteristics with nonlinearity and stochastic fluctuation of the HSAI sequence, the multiscale frequency features are extracted by the parameter-adaptive VMD method with the improved gray wolf optimizer, which analyzes the inherent degradation law. Finally, considering the problem of parameter sharing in the transformer model, a simplified mixture of experts routing algorithm is introduced to implement the switch transformer model to further measure the future aero-engine health trends. Extensive experiments on the multi-source dataset of aero-engine confirm that the proposed method accomplishes the more superior performance for health evolution measurement compared with other available methods.
Research on the calculation and evaluation method of transmission efficiency of noncircular planetary gear

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The torque fluctuation characteristics of noncircular planetary gear (NPG) systems are difficult to obtain, and there is no clear analysis method and evaluation method for transmission efficiency, which seriously affects their service performance. Given that, this article establishes a torque fluctuation model for NPG systems based on the principle of gear meshing and differential geometry theory and methods, taking into account factors such as actual working conditions and speed loads. And proposed, the comprehensive transmission rate, a new method for evaluating the efficiency of NPG systems. By analyzing the actual working conditions of NPG systems, the influence mechanism of alternating load and speed on torque fluctuation and transmission efficiency was explored. The research results indicate that the alternating load can cause an increase in system impact and vibration. The comprehensive transmission rate of NPG systems decreases with increasing rotational speed and increases with increasing load, and is more sensitive to changes in rotational speed. The trend of comprehensive transmission rate and transmission efficiency of NPG systems is basically consistent, indicating that the proposed method of using comprehensive transmission rate to evaluate transmission efficiency is a practical and feasible analysis method. The research results can provide a new method for dynamic measurement and evaluation of torque and transmission efficiency of non-circular gear transmission systems.
An improved envelope spectrum via Hoyer index-gram for bearing fault extraction
Authors: Tian Tian , Tang Guiji , Wang Xiaolong , Sun Jingjing 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Resonance demodulation is one of the most commonly used methods in rolling bearing fault diagnosis, yet determining the optimal demodulation band has been a significant challenge. The vibration signal from a faulty bearing may include not only periodic fault impulses but also discrete harmonic interferences, random impulses, Gaussian white noise, among others. To enhance fault information and attenuate the impact of interference signals, this paper proposes an improved envelope spectrum via Hoyer index-gram (IESHoyergram). By utilizing the Hoyer index of the spectrum-related enhanced envelope spectrum as the frequency band filtering criterion, the proposed method extracts periodic impulses while suppressing interference from random impulses and other sources. Moreover, owing to the multilevel segmentation based on the different trend components in the spectral correlation spectrogram, IESHoyergram avoids the shortcomings of traditional segmentation methods. The proposed method is validated through both simulated and experimentally acquired data, demonstrating its capability not only to enhance the characteristics of a single fault but also to separate multiple component faults.
