Due to global warming and changes in precipitation patterns, many regions are prone to permanent drought. Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is one of the main sources of edible oils worldwide, and its production and yield are affected by drought. In this study, gene expression alterations under drought stress are investigated with bioinformatics studies to examine evolutionary relations of conserved motifs structure and interactions among Calvin cycle and photorespiration pathways key genes in drought-tolerant (SLM046) and drought-sensitive (Hayola308) genotypes of rapeseed. Investigating the conservation and evolutionary relationships revealed high conservation in motifs of FBPase, PRK, GlyK and NADP-ME enzymes. The analysis of protein interactions showed the correlation between FTRC, FBPase1, PRKX1, GlyKX2 and NADP-ME4 genes. Furthermore, in rapeseed, for the GlyKX2 and NADP-ME4 genes, four microRNAs of the miR172 family and four members of the miR167 family were identified as post-transcriptional regulators, respectively. The expression of ferredoxin thioredoxin reductase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase genes, phosphoribulokinase, glycerate kinase and malic enzyme 4 genes in the two rapeseed genotypes were evaluated by real-time qPCR method under 72 h of drought stress and methanol foliar application. As a result, the highest expression levels of FTRC, PRKX1, GlyKX2, NADP-ME4 and FBPase1 were observed in methanol foliar application on the SLM046 genotype at 24 h. In contrast, in methanol foliar application on the Hayola308 genotype, the highest expression levels of FTRC, PRKX1, GlyKX2, NADP-ME4 and FBPase1 were observed 8 h after the treatment. Our study illustrated that methanol foliar application enhanced plant tolerance under drought stress.

Published: March 2024

Background This study aimed to determine how the frequency of impaired perception of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is correlated with health literacy in individuals with high CVD risk in two regions with different socioeconomic levels. Methods A descriptive study was conducted. The Systematic Coronary Risk Estimation, recommended by the European and Turkish Cardiology Societies, provides recommendations based on individuals’ actual CVD risk levels. According to the Systematic Coronary Risk Estimation, participants suffering from diseases were identified as high and very high risk. The perception of risk was determined by subjectively assessing the risk level of the individuals. The European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire was used. The Mann–Whitney U test, Chi-squared test and Spearman’s correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. We also conducted a logistic regression analysis to identify factors contributing to impaired perception of CVD risk. Results A total of 384 individuals, aged between 40 and 70 years (with a mean age of 58.35 ± 8.33 years), were included in the study. These individuals had a high risk of CVD and were registered to family health centres from two different socioeconomic levels. Out of the 384 participants, 201 individuals belonged to the lower socioeconomic level region and 183 individuals belonged to the higher socioeconomic level region. A total of 61.7% of the participants with high CVD risk had an impaired perception of CVD risk. The health literacy level of 59.9% of individuals was either inadequate or problematic. The health literacy score of participants with impaired risk perception (29.59 ± 9.07) was lower than those with correct risk perception (35.83 ± 10.94; P < 0.001). Factors that affected the perception of CVD risk included age, education level, working status, occupation, a family history of CVD, the CVD risk assessment by health professionals and the recommendation of health professionals to individuals for CVD screening. Conclusions It is necessary for health care professionals to make risk assessments and perform interventions to improve health literacy to raise the awareness of individuals with high CVD risk on their actual risk.

Résumé
La profusion des sources à disposition des traducteurs (outils d’aide à la traduction: corpus monolingues ou
parallèles en ligne, bases terminologiques, mémoires de traduction, etc.) et à la rédaction démultiplie et complexifie le
processus de traduction. Ainsi, pour une meilleure gestion de ressources de plus en plus hétérogènes, et des procédures liées à
leur exploitation, nous montrons comment nos cours de traduction ont profité de la rédaction méthodique de journaux de
progression, présentés en classe à l’oral (mutualisés et commentés en ligne, par l’enseignant et les autres élèves), consignant
leurs pratiques réflexives sur leur cheminement méthodique, d’abord individuels, puis co-construits, mutualisés et commentés sur
une plateforme collaborative. La littératie informationnelle mais aussi multimodale (croquis explicatifs, adaptation
cinématographique d’une œuvre littéraire, recherche par images) se révèle essentielle tant en traduction audiovisuelle que
littéraire, en particulier pour traduire l’intertextualité, l’interculturel et l’implicite.
Bangladeshi EAP teachers’ perspectives on task-based language
teaching
Authors: Siddiqui Tamoha , Winke Paula 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We explored the extent to which academic English teachers from
an English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) context held beliefs that aligned with
Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) principles, as well as their levels of
receptiveness to using tasks in the classroom. In this mixed methods study, 41
tertiary-level EFL teachers from Bangladesh were invited to take a survey on TBLT and
participate in follow-up interviews. We used convergent mixed methods analysis
to triangulate the data and verify the findings. Results showed that
participants agreed with TBLT principles from a moderate to high level, and
consistently favored use of tasks over traditional activities, which included
audio-lingual and form-based instruction. Moreover, teacher beliefs and
practices seemed to have become further aligned with TBLT tenets in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic and its consequential shift to online teaching.
Chinese EFL teachers’ understandings and implementation of task-based language teaching
Authors: Li Hongyu , Thomas Nathan 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Across China, English language teaching curricula have advocated for task-based language teaching (TBLT) for more
than 20 years. Yet, there is reason to believe that practice varies widely. As such, this multiple case study sheds light on two
Chinese teachers’ understandings and implementation of TBLT in a public primary school in Chongqing, southwest China. Data
collection consisted of eight semi-structured interviews and eight classroom observations. Data were analyzed using qualitative
content analysis. The analysis indicated that the teachers had basic understandings of TBLT, but their teaching was incongruent
with its principles. Few tasks were observed in their lessons. Three main factors affected the teachers’ implementation of TBLT:
(1) classroom management issues; (2) preparation and teaching resources; and (3) the teachers’ own tacit reluctance.

In these theories, just as in their analogues in the metric formulation, the cosmological constant does not take a prescribed value but is an integration constant whose value can differ between different (classical) solutions. We discuss some subtleties when identifying Lorentzian solutions in the generally complex theory, and show how these theories can be reduced to a ‘pure connection’ form similar to Krasnov’s pure connection formalism for general relativity.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Over the past two decades, metamaterial absorbers have undergone significant advancements, evolving from microwave single-frequency designs to multi-frequency and broadband absorption, extending into the terahertz band. These absorbers have transitioned from unadjustable to adjustable and multifunctional configurations, enabled by the integration of adjustable materials, mechanical structures, and semiconductor devices. This article provides a comprehensive review of the progress achieved in the microwave to terahertz frequency range over the last five years. Key aspects covered include the absorbing mechanism of metamaterials in the microwave frequency band, with absorption efficiencies exceeding 90% for specific frequency ranges. The development of adjustable absorbers allows for frequency tunability within ±10% of the central frequency, while multifunctional absorbers enable concurrent control over absorption and reflection properties. In the terahertz regime, advanced electromagnetic simulations have led to absorber designs with bandwidths exceeding 50% of the central frequency, resulting in absorption efficiencies above 80% over the entire bandwidth. Integration of gallium nitride-based gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors provides fast switching speeds below 100 ns, facilitating rapid reconfiguration of absorber functionalities. These advancements in metamaterial absorbers offer promising prospects for intelligent and integrated designs in future applications.

The 1.7 kV 4H-SiC MOSFET which features optimized retrograded-profile ion implantation in the JFET regions (RG-MOS) is proposed and fabricated on the 4 inch wafers. The measured results quantify the benefits of the RG-MOS structure: simultaneous improvement in high-frequency figures of merit (HF-FOM) (R

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Stokes shift is an important physical property relating to emission and absorption of light-emitting diodes, which reflects photon self-absorption situation and affects the device performance. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult to change Stokes shift and relevant physical properties to further improve device performance with traditional quantum structures from increasing requirements in application. Therefore, hybrid quantum structures have attracted an attention recently. However, the properties related to Stokes shift in the new configurations have not been revealed so far. In this paper, we investigate the absorption loss and Stokes shift of the newly proposed InGaAs self-assembled well-wire-hybrid quantum structure. By designing a new absorption loss measurement approach, we can conveniently extract internal optical mode loss of a quantum structure and explore its Stokes shift with the measured absorption spectra. Our findings reveal that the presence of quantum wires in the structure can significantly reduce the Stokes shift difference between transverse electric and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations from 66.7% for a traditional quantum well to 15.4%. It suggests the potential for the reduction of TM-mode photon self-absorption in a compressive-strain quantum structure. This phenomenon offers new prospects for the development of polarization-insensitive devices.
Investigation on the phase transition, geometric and electronic properties of Bi-doped CsPbBr3 perovskites

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Given the ongoing debate regarding the potential impact of Bi dopant on the phase transition of CsPbBr3, our study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon. Through a multifaceted examination encompassing energetic states, geometric configurations, bonding interactions, and electronic structures, we find that the inclusion of Bi dopants alone does not directly induce the orthorhombic/tetragonal phase transition in CsPbBr3. However, we observe a obvious reduction in the energetic discrepancy between these two phases, indicating an indirect stimulation of the phase transition by Bi dopants. This accelerates the stimulations originating from external environment, which may be responsible for the experimentally observed phase transition. Moreover, our investigation confirms that Bi dopants selectively weakens the bonding interaction within the Pb/Bi octahedra of the CsPbBr3 lattice in an anisotropic manner. Specifically, we identify that the weakening of the out-of-plane Bi–Br bond strength arises from the diminished bonding interaction between the p orbital of Bi and the s orbital of Br. This phenomenon results in the elongation of the metal-halide octahedra, consequently relaxing lattice distortions and twists in undoped CsPbBr3 systems, particularly pronounced in orthorhombic phases. Consequently, both orthorhombic and tetragonal CsPbBr3 lattices tend to evolve towards similar geometric configurations. Our findings reveal the significant influence of Bi dopants on the phase dynamics of CsPbBr3, a factor often overlooked in previous investigations.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Achieving all electrical control of magnetism without assistance of an external magnetic field has been highly pursued for spintronic applications. In recent years, the manipulation of magnetic states through spin–orbit torque (SOT) has emerged as a promising avenue for realizing energy-efficient spintronic memory and logic devices. Here, we provide a review of the rapidly evolving research frontiers in all electrical control of magnetization by SOT. The first part introduces the SOT mechanisms and SOT devices with different configurations. In the second part, the developments in all electrical SOT control of magnetization enabled by spin current engineering are introduced, which include the approaches of lateral symmetry breaking, crystalline structure engineering of spin source material, antiferromagnetic order and interface-generated spin current. The third part introduces all electrical SOT switching enabled by magnetization engineering of the ferromagnet, such as the interface/interlayer exchange coupling and tuning of anisotropy or magnetization. At last, we provide a summary and future perspectives for all electrical control of magnetization by SOT.

Abstract
In an effort to reconcile the various interpretations for the cation components of the 2p
3/2 observed in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of several spinel oxide materials, the XPS spectra of both spinel alloy nanoparticles and crystalline thin films are compared. We observed that different components of the 2p
3/2 core level XPS spectra, of these inverse spinel thin films, are distinctly surface and bulk weighted, indicating surface-to-bulk core level shifts in the binding energies. Surface-to-bulk core level shifts in binding energies of Ni and Fe 2p
3/2 core levels of NiFe2O4 thin film are observed in angle-resolved XPS. The ratio between surface-weighted components and bulk-weighted components of the Ni and Fe core levels shows appreciable dependency on photoemission angle, with respect to surface normal. XPS showed that the ferrite nanoparticles Ni

Co1−x
Fe2O4 (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1) resemble the surface of the NiFe2O4 thin film. Surface-to-bulk core level shifts are also observed in CoFe2O4 and NiCo2O4 thin films but not as significantly as in NiFe2O4 thin film. Estimates of surface stoichiometry of some spinel oxide nanoparticles and thin films suggested that the apportionment between cationic species present could be farther from expectations for thin films as compared to what is seen with nanoparticles.
Robust transfer subspace learning based on low-rank and sparse representation for bearing fault diagnosis
Authors: Yu Fuchao , Xiu Xianchao , Li Xinrong , Liu Jingjing 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
With the development of industrial intelligence, data-driven fault diagnosis plays an important role in prognostics and health management. However, there is usually a large amount of unlabeled data from different working conditions, making cross-domain fault diagnosis unstable and inflexible. To deal with this issue, we propose two novel transfer subspace learning methods based on the low-rank sparse representation (LRSR), called LRSR-G and LRSR-R. Specifically, LRSR-G integrates an additional matrix with LRSR to characterize the Gaussian noise for robustness, as well as capture global and local structures. Furthermore, LRSR-R adaptively learns the label matrix from samples instead of using the binary labeling matrix in LRSR-G, thus providing the possibility to improve the flexibility. In addition, we develop two efficient algorithms using the alternating direction method of multipliers to solve the proposed LRSR-G and LRSR-R. Extensive experiments are conducted on the Case Western Reserve University dataset and Jiangnan University (JNU) dataset. The results show that the proposed LRSR-G and LRSR-R perform better than the existing methods, while LRSR-R has more potential in cross-domain fault diagnosis tasks.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The implementation of prognostics and health management strategies is essential for enhancing the safety and maintenance of rotating equipment in chemical plants. The examination of vibration signal behaviours under variable-speed conditions and the development of signal decomposition methods in such contexts are of substantial theoretical and practical relevance. This paper proposes a novel multicomponent collaborative time-frequency state-space method for the decomposition of vibration signals. The method employs a multi-component proportional model to accurately describe the synchronisation of high-frequency components with the rotational frequency component. Based on this framework, the instantaneous frequency change curves of multiple components are input into the Vold–Kalman filter algorithm for precise decomposition of multicomponent vibration signals under variable-speed conditions. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in achieving accurate instantaneous frequency tracking and signal decomposition, showing clear advantages over traditional methods.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
With the increasing integration density of silicon-based circuits, traditional electrical interconnections have shown their technological limitations. In recent years, GeSn materials have attracted great interest due to their potential direct bandgap transition and compatibility with silicon-based technologies. GeSn materials, including GeSn films, GeSn alloys, and GeSn nanowires, are adjustable, scalable, and compatible with silicon. GeSn nanowires, as one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials, including out-of-plane GeSn nanowires and in-plane GeSn nanowires, have different properties from those of bulk materials due to their distinctive structures. However, the synthesis and potential applications of out of plane GeSn nanowires are rarely compared to highlighting their current development status and research trends in relevant review papers. In this article, we present the preparation of out-of-plane GeSn nanowires using top-down (etching and lithography) and bottom-up (vapor–liquid–solid) growth mechanism in the vapor-phase method and supercritical fluid–liquid–solid, solution-liquid–solid, and solvent vapor growth mechanisms in the liquid-phase method) methods. Specifically, the research progress on typical out of plane GeSn nanowires are discussed, while some current development bottlenecks are also been identified. Finally, it is also provided a brief description of the applications of out-of-plane GeSn nanowires with various Sn contents and morphologies.
