Authors: Singh Priti , Mishra Hirdyesh , Rai Shyam Bahadur 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe exploration of multicolor emitting phosphors with single phase is extremely important for n-UV chip excited LED/WLED’s and multicolor display devices. In this paper, Dy3+, Ho3+ singly doped and Dy3+/Ho3+ co-doped CaTiO3 phosphor materials have been synthesized by solid state reaction method at 1473 K. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, FTIR, PL and lifetime measurements. The PL emission spectra of Dy3+ doped CaTiO3 phosphors give intense blue and yellow emissions under UV excitation, while the PL emission spectra of Ho3+ doped CaTiO3 phosphor show intense green emission under UV/blue excitations. Further, to get the multicolor emission including white light, Dy3+ and Ho3+ were co-doped simultaneously in CaTiO3 host. It is found that alongwith colored and white light emissions, it also shows energy transfer from Dy3+ to Ho3+ with 367 nm and from Ho3+ to Dy3+ under 362 nm excitations. The energy transfer efficiency is found to be 67.76% and 69.39% for CaTiO3:4Dy3+/3Ho3+ and CaTiO3:3Ho3+/5Dy3+ phosphors, respectively. The CIE color coordinates, CCT and color purity of the phosphors have been calculated, which show color tunability from whitish to deep green via greenish yellow color. The lifetime of 4F9/2 level of Dy3+ ion and 5S2 level of Ho3+ ion is decreased in presence of Ho3+ and Dy3+ ions, respectively. This is due to energy transfer from Dy3+ to Ho3+ ions and vice versa. A temperature dependent photoluminescence studied of CaTiO3:4Dy3+/2Ho3+ phosphor show a high thermal stability (82% at 423 K of initial temperature 303 K) in the temperature range 303–483 K with activation energy 0.17 eV. The PLQY are 30%, 33% and 35% for CaTiO3:4Dy3+, CaTiO3:4Dy3+/2Ho3+ and CaTiO3:3Ho3+ phosphors, respectively. Hence, Dy3+, Ho3+ singly doped and Dy3+/Ho3+ co-doped CaTiO3 phosphor materials can be used in the field of single matrix perovskite color tunable phosphors which may be used in multicolor display devices, n-UV chip excited LED/WLED’s and photodynamic therapy for the cancer treatment.
Efficiency evaluation and nonlinear multi-objective optimization of forestry industry transformation in the Heilongjiang state-owned forest region
Authors: Diao Shuo , Geng Yude 
Published: December 2023

AbstractWith the deepening of the concept of sustainable development of the whole society, protecting forest resources has become a crucial task of the current society. The present forestry industrial structure of Heilongjiang state-owned forest areas has undergone significant changes, and the transformation of the forestry industry has become increasingly prominent. How to deepen the forestry industry transformation and improve its efficiency has become an important research direction in forest areas. This work first analyzes the data envelopment method, and further designs the evaluation method of forestry transformation efficiency in forest areas. Then, the evaluation index system of forestry industry transformation efficiency in Heilongjiang state-owned forest areas is built. The relevant nonlinear multi-objective optimization (MOO) constraints are designed. Relevant data are quoted to evaluate the efficiency of the forestry industry transformation in the Heilongjiang state-owned forest areas. The results show that: (1) During 2015–2021, the average value of the scale, technical, and comprehensive production efficiencies of Heilongjiang state-owned forest areas were 0.765, 0.53, and 0.399, all of which were less than 1. And they were in a relatively ineffective state. (2) The overall industrial transformation of state-owned forest areas was optimistic. The technical efficiency decreased slightly in 2017, while the pure technical efficiency was greater than 1 in 2016 and 2018. The efficiency value increased to the peak by the end of 2021. (3) In the transformation of the forestry industry in state-owned forest areas, the influence of the industrial economy and resource protection subsystems was the first and backward, and the contribution of the social development subsystem was in the middle. (4) In the MOO problem, the forest area should be planned according to the proportion of public welfare, multi-functional, and commercial forests: 35.2%, 38.8%, and 26%, respectively. This work provides an essential reference for protecting forest resources and contributes to the transformation and development of the social forestry industry.

AbstractPlyometric training boosts adolescents' jumping ability, crucial for athletic success and health. However, the best total ground contact frequency (TGCF) and overall intervention time (OIT) for these exercises remain unclear. This meta-analysis aims to identify optimal TGCF and OIT in plyometric training for adolescents, focusing on countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) outcomes. This systematic review encompassed five databases and included 38 studies with 50 randomized controlled experiments and 3347 participants. We used the Cochrane risk assessment tool for study quality and Review Manager 5.4 for data analysis. The current meta-analysis incorporated a total of 38 studies, comprising 50 sets of randomized controlled trials, to investigate the influence of different TGCFs and OITs on plyometric training. The Cochrane risk assessment tool indicated that all the included studies were classified as low risk. Various TGCFs in plyometric training positively affected CMJ and SJ heights in adolescents. The TGCF of less than 900 was ideal for enhancing CMJ, whereas more than 1400 was effective for SJ. The optimal OIT was 400–600 min, specifically, 500–600 min for CMJ and 400–500 min for SJ. Plyometric training improves jumping ability in adolescents. Lower ground contact frequency (< 900 contacts) enhances CMJ, while higher ground contact frequency (> 1400 contacts) is more effective for SJ. Optimal intervention time ranges from 400 to 600 min, with 500 to 600 min benefiting CMJ and 400 to 500 min improving SJ.

AbstractCerebral organoids recapitulate the structure and function of the developing human brain in vitro, offering a large potential for personalized therapeutic strategies. The enormous growth of this research area over the past decade with its capability for clinical translation makes a non-invasive, automated analysis pipeline of organoids highly desirable. This work presents a novel non-invasive approach to monitor and analyze cerebral organoids over time using high-field magnetic resonance imaging and state-of-the-art tools for automated image analysis. Three specific objectives are addressed, (I) organoid segmentation to investigate organoid development over time, (II) global cysticity classification and (III) local cyst segmentation for organoid quality assessment. We show that organoid growth can be monitored reliably over time and cystic and non-cystic organoids can be separated with high accuracy, with on par or better performance compared to state-of-the-art tools applied to brightfield imaging. Local cyst segmentation is feasible but could be further improved in the future. Overall, these results highlight the potential of the pipeline for clinical application to larger-scale comparative organoid analysis.

AbstractCirculating tumor HPV DNA (ctHPV16) assessed in liquid biopsy may be used as a marker of cancer in patients with HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPV + OPC). Factors influencing the initial ctHPV16 quantity are not well recognized. In this study we aimed to establish what factors are related to the level of ctHPV16 at the time of diagnosis. 51 patients (37 men and 14 women, median age of 57 years old) with HPV + OPC prior to definitive treatment were included. ctHPV16 was measured by qPCR. Tumor and nodal staging were assessed according to AJCC8. Blood derived factors included squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), serum soluble fragment of cytokeratin 19 (CYFRA 21-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin level (Alb), neutrophils (Neut), thrombocytes (Plt) and lymphocyte (Lym) count, Neut/Lym ratio were assessed. The volumes of the primary tumor (TV) and involved lymph nodes (NV) were calculated using MRI, CT or PET-CT scans. Data were analysed using parametric and nonparametric methods. Variables for multivariable linear regression analysis were chosen based on the results from univariable analysis (correlation, univariable regression and difference). There were 9 (18%), 10 (19%) and 32 (63%) patients who had TV and NV assessed in MRI, CT or PET respectively. Primary tumor neither as T-stage nor TV was related to ctHPV16 level. Significant differences in the ctHPV16 between patients with high vs low pain (P = 0.038), NV (P = 0.023), TV + NV (P = 0.018), CYFRA 21-1 (P = 0.002), CRP (P = 0.019), and N1 vs N3 (P = 0.044) were observed. ctHPV16 was significantly associated with CYFRA 21-1 (P = 0.017), N stage (P = 0.005), NV (P = 0.009), TV + NV (P = 0.002), CRP (P = 0.019), and pain (P = 0.038). In univariable linear regression analysis the same variables predicted ctHPV16 level. In multivariable analyses, CYFRA 21-1 and CRP (both as categorical variables) were predictors of ctHPV16 level even above NV. ctHPV16 at presentation is driven by tumor volume measured mostly by N. CYFRA 21-1 and CRP are additional factors related to ctHPV16 prior to the treatment.

Published: December 2023

AbstractIn this article, we introduce a novel Bayesian Max-EWMA control chart under various loss functions to concurrently monitor the mean and variance of a normally distributed process. The Bayesian Max-EWMA control chart exhibit strong overall performance in detecting shifts in both mean and dispersion across various magnitudes. To evaluate the performance of the proposed control chart, we employ Monte Carlo simulation methods to compute their run length characteristics. We conduct an extensive comparative analysis, contrasting the run length performance of our proposed charts with that of existing ones. Our findings highlight the heightened sensitivity of Bayesian Max-EWMA control chart to shifts of diverse magnitudes. Finally, to illustrate the efficacy of our Bayesian Max-EWMA control chart using various loss functions, we present a practical case study involving the hard-bake process in semiconductor manufacturing. Our results underscore the superior performance of the Bayesian Max-EWMA control chart in detecting out-of-control signals.
Less Versus More: The Effect of Recast Length in Treatment of Grammatical Errors
Authors: Sweeney Lucia , Plante Elena , Mettler Heidi M. , Hall Jessica , Vance Rebecca 
Published: December 2023

Purpose:
Although conversational recast treatment is generally efficacious, there are many ways in which the individual components of the treatment can be delivered. Some of these are known to enhance treatment, others appear to interfere with learning, and still others appear to have no impact at all. This study tests the potential effect of clinicians' recast length on child learning during a recast treatment.

Method:
Twenty-six preschool children were treated for grammatical errors using Enhanced Conversational Recast Treatment. Half heard recasts of four or fewer words (Short Recast condition), and half heard recasts of five or more words (Extended Recast condition). Outcome measures included generalization of the treated grammatical form, spontaneous use of these forms, change in mean length of utterances in words, and the number of children in each condition who showed a clinically meaningful response.

Results:
There was strong evidence of improvements in the use of grammatical forms targeted by the treatment compared with forms that were tracked but not treated. Twenty children (11 in the Short Recast condition and nine in the Extended Recast condition) showed a clinically meaningful response. There was minimal support for the hypothesis that the length of clinician utterance influenced either progress on a grammatical form targeted by the treatment or on the child's mean length of utterance in words.

Conclusions:
The study adds to the evidence for the efficacy of Enhanced Conversational Recast Treatment. However, there is little evidence that clinicians need to regulate the length of the recast they provide to children.

Design‐for‐testability for reversible logic circuits based on bit‐swapping
Authors: Mondal Joyati , Das Debesh Kumar , Bhattacharya Bhargab B. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe emerging technology of reversible circuits offers a potential solution to the synthesis of ultra low‐power quantum computing systems. A reversible circuit can be envisaged as a cascade of reversible gates only, such as Toffoli gate, which has two components: k control bits and a target bit (k‐CNOT), k ≥ 1. While analysing testability issues in a reversible circuit, the missing‐gate fault model is often used for modelling physical defects in k‐CNOT gates. A new design‐for‐testability (DFT) technique is proposed for reversible circuits that deploys bit‐swapping using Fredkin reversible gates. It is shown that in an (n × n) circuit implemented with k‐CNOT gates, addition of only two extra inputs along with a few Fredkin gates yields easy testability in the circuit. The modified design admits a universal test set of maximum size 2n + 1 that detects all detectable missing gate faults in the original circuit, where n is the number of input/output lines in the circuit. The DFT overhead in terms of quantum cost is much less compared to that of previous approaches. The method is more advantageous for large circuits.
Representation of women in English and Persian proverbs
Authors: Dabbagh Ali , Babaii Esmat 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the portrayal of women in English and Persian proverbs using the
multidisciplinary field of Cultural Linguistics as an alternative to critical discourse analysis. Utilizing a corpus analysis
approach for Cultural Linguistics (Jensen 2017), 124 English and 186 Persian proverbs
representing the theme of ‘woman’ were compared and contrasted cross-culturally. Results of grounded-theory driven analysis
revealed: (a) while various cultural schemata and cultural metaphors reflecting both dark and bright sides of women in proverbs
were unveiled, only one cultural category in Persian proverbs with no similar instance in English proverbs was revealed; and (b)
in some English and Persian proverbs, interpreting cultural schemas predicates upon eliciting and understanding the cultural
metaphors hidden in the proverbs. The results are discussed with reference to the potentiality of Cultural Linguistics as an
analytical framework for paremiology that can provide an in-depth interpretation of proverbs as a culturally-loaded discourse.
Conspiracy theories and passion
Authors: Hristov Todor 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Conspiracy theories are not merely propositions about states of affairs, they are also speech acts and because of
that their meaning consists not only in what conspiracy theorists say but also in what they do with words or, in other words, in
the pragmatics of their stories. Building on a concept developed by Stanley Cavell, the article argues that from the point of view
of pragmatics conspiracy theories are a form of passionate speech. In contrast with illocutionary acts, the point of passionate
speech consists in making the other respond here, now and in kind (thus implicitly recognizing that the subject of the act has
rightfully addressed her or him in this way). The conceptualization of conspiracy theories as passionate speech is intended to
demonstrate that debunking can be counterproductive if it ignores the pragmatic dimension of conspiracy theories, and in effect
the attempts to counteract disinformation can easily deteriorate into a dialogue of the deaf.
Who does it better?

Abstract
This study addresses the acquisition of second language (L2) Spanish grammatical gender by native speakers of two
typologically different languages: English (n = 39) and Russian (n = 37). We aim to explore if
the presence or absence of gender features in the first language (L1) influences the acquisition of Spanish grammatical gender.
Participants completed an acceptability judgment task consisting of 40 sentences with grammatical and ungrammatical Spanish
Determiner Phrases (DPs). They included masculine and feminine Ns (Nouns) with transparent or opaque endings. Our findings show
that (1) both groups are sensitive to gender non-matching structures, although L1 Russian speakers gave the lowest scores to
ungrammatical structures in Spanish; (2) higher rating scores to masculine matching DPs point to the use of masculine as default
by both L2 groups; (3) Ns with transparent endings act as cues for L2 Spanish learners, since both groups of participants rated
the non-matching DPs with transparent Ns more accurately than those with opaque Ns. Therefore, our findings suggest that gender in
L2 Spanish can be acquired regardless of the presence or the absence of these grammatical property in the L1, although its
presence in the L1 seems to accelerate this process.

EvalCADair: tool for assessing air quality improvement after the deployment of a district heating network
Authors: Schneider S , Hollmuller P 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Switching from individual fossil fuel boilers to a district heating network not only allows the reduction of CO2 emissions but may also lead to significant reduction of other air pollutants such as SO2, NOx and PMx, which have well known negative effects on the human health. EvalCADair makes it possible to estimate the annual evolution of the emissions of atmospheric pollutants during the construction phase of a district heating network. This generic tool is applied to the case of the district heating network CADéco, whose heat production consists of centralized heat pumps and gas boilers. Located in Geneva, the case study includes 154 buildings with a total heated surface of 547’000 m2 and an annual heat demand of about 55 GWh. Approximately half of the total surface aera is dedicated to collective residential housing and the rest to various activities. By the end of 2022, 40% of these buildings were connected to the district heating network. Using the tool to estimate the emissions from 2011 to 2022 shows only a small reduction in CO2 emissions, mainly due to the replacement of individual oil boilers with centralized gas boilers. The gain will be more significant when the heat pumps will be activated. The future impact of the activation of the heat pumps is estimated using EvalCADair as a prospective tool.
Outdoor micro-climate: Air temperature measurements around an office building in Denmark during summer
Authors: Johra Hicham , Lenoël Mathilde , Jensen Rasmus Lund , Larsen Olena Kalyanova 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The outdoor micro-climate caused by the presence of buildings can significantly differ from that around weather stations located outside of urban areas. However, the latter is often used to design buildings and size building systems. This could lead to significant mistakes and performance gaps. To date, there is a certain lack of experimental studies assessing the micro-climate around buildings, especially in Scandinavian countries. The current paper presents the preliminary results and analysis of a measurement campaign of the temperature gradient in the two-meter air layer around the envelope of a multi-storey office building in Denmark in the summertime. Depending on the orientation of the external building surface (South/North façade or rooftop), the distance from the latter and the weather conditions, the temperature in this two-meter air layer can vary significantly and differ from the air temperature measured at nearby open fields or recorded by the reference weather station. During sunny days, a temperature gradient of up to 3.4 °C and 13.6 °C was measured in the air layer around the South façade and the rooftop, respectively. These results could help to validate urban climate models and bridge the gap between building design and real-condition performance. The curated dataset of this measurement campaign is available in open access.
