Metaphorical extensions of the color term kaala ‘black’ in Hindi
Authors: Mishra Suneeta 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study explores the semantic and lexical extensions of the term for ‘black’ in Hindi by analyzing idiomatic expressions, compound words and culturally grounded metaphorical expressions from a cultural-cognitive perspective. The most commonly used Hindi term for black is kaala. The paper presents an analysis of 42 expressions with the term kaala (or its other morphological variants) in Hindi including idioms and compounds. The analysis finds that the color term extends to several experiential domains from emotions to morality and politics, usually signifying a negative aspect, but in some cases also a protection from negativity. It is found to be deep-rooted in Hindu mythology and grounds many a cultural belief. Several underlying metaphors are brought up by this analysis, many of which seem to be universal across languages, such as bad is black. But some metaphorical conceptualizations are found to be culture-specific, for instance the use of something black, like kaala tiika (black mark on the forehead or cheek), to counter the evil, and a goddess called kaali, said to have lethal powers. The analysis shows that the embodiment of human experience through the color ‘black’ has a substantial universal basis but at the same time, culture can lead to unique conceptualizations, as is the case with kaala.
Cultural models mediating between visual sensation and semiotic systems, exemplified on visual, alpha-pictorial and verbal-gestural communication
Authors: Brdar-Szabó Rita , Brdar Mario 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
People often see what they want to see (or hear, or taste, etc.), i.e., our mind imperceptibly edits our actual
sensations. Culture may function, metaphorically speaking, as a pair of glasses that filters light, because it may be tinted, or
have different lenses. In this article we study how visual sensations are filtered and edited, either reduced or enriched, so as
to produce perceptions fitting the cultural models we have, and how this interaction is reflected in semiotic systems, i.e., in
visual, multimodal, and verbal-gestural communication. Accordingly, we offer three case studies in which we demonstrate the claim
that variably articulated cultural models (often networks of related cultural models) we have influence whether, and how, we
experience something as being of metaphorical or metonymic nature.
A teacher-researcher snapshot of task-based peer interactions in EFL secondary school classrooms in
Germany
Authors: Kos Tomáš 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This article reports a small classroom-based study that has explored task-based peer interactions among grade 9
secondary school students (N = 14) of middle and low relative proficiency. Drawing primarily on audio recordings
of peer interactions, oral presentations, and post-task interviews, and conducted by the teacher-researcher, it investigated how
students interacted on an output task that was embedded in regular EFL lessons and designed to wrap up the unit work centered
around the topic Down Under. A particular focus was on exploring to what extent and how students used the language that the task
was meant to trigger, namely future tense and unit-related vocabulary. The aim was to inquire whether the task worked in the way
it was designed for. The findings have shown that although students were involved with the task and with each other’s
contributions, the use of the targeted structure elicited by the task remained limited. Pedagogical implications are
discussed.
Scattered light monitoring system at the Virgo interferometer: performance improvement and automation based on O3 data
Authors: Longo Alessandro , Bianchi Stefano , Valdes Guillermo , Arnaud Nicolas , Plastino Wolfango 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Scattered light, also referred to as scattering, is a nonlinear non stationary noise that can affect data acquired by ground-based laser interferometers for the detection of gravitational waves. A methodology for the identification and daily monitoring of scattering sources, based on the tvf-EMD algorithm, was applied to a large dataset of 132 days of data. Time series of the differential arm motion (DARM) degree of freedom acquired by the Virgo detector during the third LIGO-Virgo scientific run, so called O3, which lasted from 1 April 2019 to 27 March 2020, were considered. The analysis focused on correlation with suspended West end optical bench (SWEB) position data, as SWEB was a known culprit of scattering witnessed in DARM during O3. Different configurations were tested, improving performances with respect to previously obtained results and at the same time making the methodology fully automated. This allows to employ it as a monitoring system both during the phases of detector’s upgrade and in scientific runs such as the fourth scientific run, O4, currently scheduled to start on 2023. The higher values of correlation obtained suggest that tvf-EMD could improve the performance of scattered light noise subtraction from DARM.
Constraining the quantum gravity polymer scale using LIGO data
Authors: Garcia-Chung Angel , Carney Matthew F , Mertens James B , Parvizi Aliasghar , Rastgoo Saeed , Tavakoli Yaser 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We present the first empirical constraints on the polymer scale describing polymer quantized GWs propagating on a classical background. These constraints are determined from the polymer-induced deviation from the classically predicted propagation speed of GWs. We leverage posterior information on the propagation speed of GWs from two previously reported sources: (1) inter-detector arrival time delays for signals from the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration’s first gravitational-wave transient catalog, GWTC1, and (2) from arrival time delays between GW signal GW170817 and its associated gamma-ray burst GRB170817A. For pure-GW constraints, we find relatively uninformative combined constraints of

Insight into charge-induced flashover at the gas–solid interface in DC gas-insulated systems
Authors: Zhang Boya , Li Yixuan , Min Daomin , Wang Tianyu , Li Kaixuan , Zhang Guixin , Li Shengtao , Li Xingwen , Murphy Anthony B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The proliferation of urbanization and the integration of new energy sources have stimulated the development of gas-insulated transmission lines and switchgear (GIL/GIS). In particular, the compact DC GIS in offshore converter platforms will significantly reduce footprints for DC switchyards, exhibit exceptional climatic resistance, and facilitate the cost-effective connection of remote offshore wind farms and submarine links. Nevertheless, insulators used in GIS/GIL always suffer from surface charge accumulation under DC stress, which could distort and enhance the local electric field and thus trigger a flashover at the gas–solid interface if it exceeds certain magnitude levels. This susceptibility becomes a major concern affecting the reliability of DC gas-insulated systems. Beyond these engineering-related challenges lie fundamental physics problems involving mechanisms of charge accumulation and charge-induced flashover which still require exploration. To this end, this paper presents an overview of recent advancements on this topic whilst highlighting relevant issues to be addressed. Specifically, the surface charge accumulation phenomena under DC fields are reviewed, and the charging mechanisms are summarized from macroscopic to microscopic perspectives. Further, the correlation between surface charge and surface flashover is discussed. Moreover, recent developments in tailoring methods for surface charging are also presented. Finally, perspectives are given on current research progress and future needs.

Authors: Ikonen Erkki 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPhotometry contributes to our understanding how the world is perceived by the human visual system, where a specific example is an early study of photographic plates. Nowadays photometry has an important role in measurement of lighting, particularly in the transition from incandescent lighting to LED lighting. In the context of sustainability and energy efficiency, updated photometric methods are needed that address the spectral, color, geometrical, and temporal characteristics of LED light sources. Highlights of the recent advances in these measurement methods are reviewed. Furthermore, challenges and achievements are described in the measurement of optical power, particularly related to the definition of the photometric SI base unit, the candela. These achievements are based on progress in the development of underpinning optical measurement standards, with a focus on technologies like the electrical substitution radiometer and the predictable quantum efficient detector. As a conclusion, the importance of ongoing research and development in photometry is emphasized considering its crucial role in supporting the advances of LED lighting technology and sustainable development goals of lighting industry.
Spin-charge interconversion of two-dimensional electron gases at oxide interfaces
Authors: Zheng Dongyao , Zhang Hui , Hu Fengxia , Shen Baogen , Sun Jirong , Zhao Weisheng 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Oxide two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a low-dimensional carrier system formed at the interface of oxide heterojunctions with strong and tunable Rashba spin–orbit coupling which makes oxide 2DEG an ideal platform for converting spin current and charge current. This review provides a summary of the recent advances on the 2DEGs at oxide interfaces for spin-charge interconversion. On one hand, we analyze properties and the efficiency of the spin-to-charge conversion through different ways of spin current injection. On the other hand, the conversion of charge current to spin current under different experimental methods has been summarized. These research achievements provide perspectives and methods for understanding and regulating the spin-charge interconversion of the 2DEG at the oxide interface.
Uniform approximation of 2D Navier-Stokes equations with vorticity creation by stochastic interacting particle systems
Authors: Grotto Francesco , Luongo Eliseo , Maurelli Mario 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We consider a stochastic interacting particle system in a bounded domain with reflecting boundary, including creation of new particles on the boundary prescribed by a given source term. We show that such particle system approximates 2D Navier–Stokes equations in vorticity form and impermeable boundary, the creation of particles modeling vorticity creation at the boundary. Kernel smoothing, more specifically smoothing by means of the Neumann heat semigroup on the space domain, allows to establish uniform convergence of regularized empirical measures to (weak solutions of) Navier–Stokes equations.
Wave field synthesis using buckling dielectric elastomer transducers
Authors: Gareis Michael , Maas Jürgen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This work presents a wave field synthesis (WFS) system using a novel loudspeaker concept based on dielectric elastomers. In WFS, large numbers of densely packed, individual audio channels are controlled to recreate arbitrary acoustic scenarios in the listener space, (i.e. listener zones in a room where different audio content can be radiated in different directions from the array, as seen in the supplemental material). Spatial resolution of the system increases with the increasing number of audio channels and with decreasing loudspeaker spacing. This motivates the use of buckling dielectric elastomer transducers (BDETs) as loudspeakers, which feature a simple setup, rendering them extremely thin and lightweight, and which promises ease of manufacture through the low demand on resources. In this work, a WFS system featuring 480 BDET has been developed. The prototype includes software, electronics, and the loudspeaker array. The electronical and mechanical design of the system is presented in detail. A nonlinear model based on the third-order shear deformation theory is applied to the BDET; the BDET is then experimentally assessed and compared to the model. Further, the final loudspeaker array is characterized by directivity measurements in an anechoic room to validate the reproducibility and quality of the setup. The presented technology highlights the structural advantages of smart materials over conventional transducers, which often are too large, heavy, and expensive for such array applications.

Resilient Energy-to-peak Event-triggered Control of NCSs
Authors: Ji Yuxiang , Zhang Yu , Ma Xiaofeng , Li Xinling , Jiang Taiping 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We address the resilient event-triggered energy-to-peak (RETEP) control problem of NCSs. The gain of the controller is impacted by uncertainty, and bound by a certain norm. By applying an appropriate Lyapunov function, we first propose a condition to ensure that the closed-loop NCS is asymptotically stable (AS) with a given energy-to-peak performance (EPP) index under zero initial conditions. Then, we present a design of the gain and trigger matrix of the needed RETEP controller. Finally, a simulation example is applied to validate the proposed controller RETEP control method.
A three-parameter interval number group decision-making method based on kernel and greyness degree
Authors: Wang Yan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A decision method based on kernel and greyness degree is proposed for group decision-making problems in which attribute values are represented by three-parameter interval grey numbers, whose kernel and greyness degree are modified. The prospect value of each program’s evaluation information given by decision-makers is solved by using prospect theory. Finally, the reasonable decision-makers weight should make the total weighted prospect value of the scheme the maximum, the deviation between the evaluation information of each decision-maker, the mean value of the evaluation information the minimum, and the greyness degree deviation value of the information which is given by decision makers the minimum. The weight vector of the decision-makers is obtained by solving this model, and the comprehensive prospect value of the solution is used to rank the alternatives. Finally, taking a commercial aircraft parts supplier selection as an example, the rationality of the method is verified.

Quantum-imaging detection of secondary neutrons in proton radiotherapy fields
Authors: Granja Carlos , Davidkova Marie , Vilimovsky Jan , Vondracek Vladimir 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Secondary radiation fields encountered in proton radiotherapy environments contain
different particle species produced in a broad range of energies and directions. Experimental
knowledge of the composition and spectral characteristics of such complex fields is valuable for
operation and protection of instruments and personnel, design and optimization of irradiations as
well as planning and validation of treatment plans. The neutron component, which are produced with
non-negligible yield, is in particular challenging to measure and discriminate from other
radiations by conventional detectors. In order to measure in such complex fields the neutron
component, both fast and thermal, we make use of the semiconductor pixel detector Timepix3
equipped with a silicon sensor and a neutron converter mask. The detector was before calibrated
with well-defined neutron fields. In this work, we characterize the secondary radiation field and
examine in particular the neutron component behind a large water-equivalent phantom irradiated by
a 190 MeV clinical proton beam. The detected neutrons have a predominant fast neutron
component. No thermal neutrons are observed in the measured data. The neutron-induced interactions
in the detector are resolved in a high background with enhanced discrimination by quantum-imaging
visualization, micrometer scale pattern recognition and high-resolution spectral-sensitive
tracking of single particles. Detailed results are provided in wide range in terms of composition
of the mixed-radiation field, total and partial fluxes and dose rates as well as particle
deposited dose and linear-energy-transfer (LET) spectra.
Performance enhancement of optical communication system with cascaded FBGs of varying lengths
Authors: Naga Bhaskar Chaluvadi V , Pal Subhradeep , Pattnaik Prasant Kumar 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this paper, an optical communication system constructed with cascaded fiber Bragg gratings or fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) of varying lengths capable of operating in the C-band is presented. Here, initially, a passive optical device formed with four cascaded FBGs of varying lengths is proposed and analyzed. Subsequently, the proposed device is kept in the optical communication system to reduce the spectral width of the source, thereby enhancing the system’s performance. Analytical formulation based on the transfer matrix method of an optical device is incorporated. The effect of such a device on the system performance at various operating distances is discussed. Further, the system performance is studied with the apodized FBGs in the passive optical device. At the end, we investigated the effect of incorporating the cascaded FBG structure in the system utilizing four-level pulse amplitude modulation or PAM-4 modulation . As per the simulation results, the proposed device has given a maximum reflectivity of 98.39

%

and a minimum FWHM of 0.175 nm for uniform FBGs. But with the apodized FBGs, an FWHM of 0.07 nm with a reflectivity of 59.81

%

has been achieved. Simulation results reveal that the system formed with the proposed device has given better performance up to a distance of 105 km compared to the absence of the device. At the maximum operating distance of the system with apodized FBGs, the Q-factor and bit error rate (BER) are recorded as 6.712 and 9.5321×10−12, respectively. Apart from the Q-factor and BER estimation, eye height is also used to estimate the system performance at various operating distances.
Impact of sulfur content on thermo-capillarity and melt pool dynamics in laser powder bed fusion of 316L powders
Authors: Li Zhiyong , Kan Xinfeng , Yin Yanjun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A three-dimensional numerical model is developed to investigate the influence of sulfur content on the transitions of thermo-capillarity and flow dynamics during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of 316L powders. The impacts of variations in sulfur contents on thermal behaviors involving heat transfer and solidification characteristics, thermo-capillarity transition, as well as the spatial and directional transitions in flow dynamics, are analyzed through mechanistic modeling techniques. It is observed that transient thermal behaviors, including melt pool profile, track morphology, and solidification processes, are significantly influenced by the contained sulfur concentration. High sulfur concentrations tend to result in finer microstructures and equiaxed grains. Through simulations, it is noted that the transition in the sign of temperature coefficient of surface tension (TCST) is more easily observable in low-sulfur level but disappears as the sulfur concentration is extremely low (0.0001%) With sulfur content increasing, a more homogenized velocity distribution is observed, accompanied with heightened flow complexity denoted by the emergence of additional branch flows and vortices. These findings offer valuable insights into the underlying physics of melt pool dynamics in the LPBF process and present a potential approach for process optimization.
Implementing services for pediatric cystic fibrosis treatment in a community hospital
Authors: Grube Paige , Nichols Heather , Ferrell Sarah , Gilham Denise , Gaylor Allyson , Dunkelberger Karen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Our community hospital was recently charged with providing care for pediatric people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). Pediatric PwCF generally need a higher level of care than is required by other pediatric patients cared for at our institution. This project aimed to prepare the pharmacy department to care for this specialized population safely and efficiently.

Summary
The implementation process was divided into 3 phases to accomplish the larger purpose. These phases were as follows: (1) creating order sets and protocols; (2) providing staff and clinical pharmacists with training and resources; and (3) creating and managing clinical decision support. The central aspect of preparing inpatient pharmacy staff to care for PwCF was the development of antibiotic dosing protocols and order sets comprised of intravenous and oral antibiotics as well as aminoglycoside and vancomycin pharmacokinetic guides. A pharmacokinetic calculator was created to assist with aminoglycoside dosing and monitoring. During phase 2, pharmacist education modules were created to provide guidance on cystic fibrosis and medications commonly used to treat it. As the newly designed protocols were enacted, education was provided on how to use them. Phase 3 occurred concurrently, as clinical decision support was vital to completing phases 1 and 2.

Conclusion
The phased approach was imperative to the project’s success and kept individual components on track. All parts were completed in just over one year.
