Detection of cracks in concrete using near-IR fluorescence imaging
Authors: Karpf Andreas , Selig Michael , Alchaar Aktham , Iskander Magued 
Published: November 2023

AbstractStructural health monitoring of civil infrastructure is a crucial component of assuring the serviceability and integrity of the built environment. A primary material used in the construction of civil infrastructure is concrete, a material that is susceptible to cracking due to a variety of causes, such as shrinkage, creep, overloading, and temperature change. Cracking reduces the durability of concrete structures, as it allows deleterious environmental agents to penetrate the surface, causing such damage as corrosion of steel reinforcement and delamination of the concrete itself. Conventional crack detection techniques are limited in scope due to issues relating to pre-planning, accessibility, and the need for close proximity to the test surface. Contactless optical image monitoring techniques offer the opportunity to overcome these limitations and have the potential to detect cracks at a distance. Concrete has been reported to have a near-infrared (Near-IR) fluorescence line at a wavelength of 1140 nm when excited with red light. This work investigates the use of fluorescence imaging for the detection of cracks in cementitious surfaces using shallow angle incidence excitation red light. Light oriented at a shallow angle does not excite interior surfaces of cracks, which appear as darker features in images of fluorescing concrete. Artificial cracks with widths of 0.2–1.5 mm were readily imaged using a near-IR camera at distances of 0.5 and 1.3 m. An additional concrete sample with a 0.08 mm wide crack was produced using a flexure apparatus and was also imaged. It is worth noting that the 0.08 mm crack was detected despite its width being below the 0.1 mm pixel resolution of the camera, with the aid of digital image enhancement algorithms.

Published: November 2023

AbstractWe present an analytical model of the charge density wave instability in graphene sheets within the intercalated graphite CaC6 compound. The instability yields the experimentally observed uniaxial charge stripes of periodically modulated electron density, coupled to the softest phonon mode of the superlattice consisting of the Ca atoms intercalated between graphene planes. The Fermi surface of the chemically doped graphene undergoes the novel type of instability driven by the mechanism that gains the condensation energy of the stripe state by the topological reconstruction of the Fermi surface. This mechanism appears to be entirely different from the one based on the Fermi surface nesting, which has been considered a paradigm in the present literature concerning the onset of charge density waves.

Published: November 2023

AbstractHistory courses are an essential part of a national education. The application of traditional courseware's media forms in education still requires further development and refinement. Herein, we report on a history courseware mode that integrates various historical teaching media, including 360-degree VR, paintings, maps, infographics, text, audio, and videos, based on the SCORM standard. These media elements are used to provide learners with a multimodal learning experience in history courses. We monitor the learning effects using EEG and questionnaires. The results show a significant improvement in our multimodal courseware technology compared to traditional courseware.

Published: November 2023

AbstractPhase retrieval in holographic data storage by expanded spectrum combined with dynamic sampling method is proposed, which serves to both reduce media consumption and to shorten the iterative number of phase code retrieval. Generally, high-fidelity phase retrieval requires twice Nyquist frequency in phase-modulated holographic data storage. To increase storage density, we only recorded and captured the signal with Nyquist size and used the frequency expanded method to realize high-fidelity phase retrieval. In the decoding process, the iterative Fourier transform algorithm is used to retrieve the phase information of the reconstructed beam. The expanded spectrum is dynamically sampled, which can provide a faster convergence path for the phase retrieval. We aimed to demonstrate the possibility of integrating various methods on the Fourier domain and providing a potential way to improve the performance of holographic data storage systems. The simulation and experimental results proved the combination of processing methods in frequency spectrum was benefit.
Implementing a Metalinguistic Approach to Secondary School Writing
Authors: Telesca Lynne 
Published: November 2023

Purpose:Writing is an essential skill that secondary students need to establish for success in their further education, careers, and lives. However, most secondary students in the United States do not achieve the level of writing proficiency expected to ensure academic and future success. One approach that is emerging more in the research literature is the use of a metalinguistic approach to writing.Method:This tutorial begins with a discussion of current educational demands and performance trends in secondary-level academic writing and how secondary students and their educators are presently struggling to meet those demands. The tutorial continues further with a discussion of existing effective writing interventions, as well as current gaps in areas of writing intervention that have the potential to be filled if metalinguistic abilities are also targeted as part of comprehensive secondary-level writing instruction. The author then provides rationale for the use of a metalinguistic approach to secondary school writing including explanation of the metalinguistic processes of writing, how to target those processes while writing, and existing metalinguistic writing interventions. The tutorial concludes with step-by-step suggestions and methods for instructors/interventionists to implement a metalinguistic approach to academic writing with secondary students including (a) review of the critical aspects of students' academic writing expectations, (b) collection of baseline data of students' metalinguistic abilities, (c) facilitation of metalinguistic discussion while working on writing with students, and (d) differentiation of students' instructional level of support.Conclusion:This tutorial will provide instructors/interventionists with the background information, rationale, and a framework to implement a metalinguistic approach to writing that can be utilized when working with secondary students during any academic writing task.

AbstractA novel stripline diplexer design using frequency‐dependent couplings (FDC) to achieve multiple transmission zeros is developed in this paper. The transmission zeros generated by FDCs are flexible and controllable; on the basis of the existing cross‐coupled, more transmission zeros are introduced to improve the frequency selection characteristics. Based on this characteristic, the authors synthesized and designed a 2.6‐GHz diplexer, its transmitting channel filter is five orders with three transmission zeros, and the receiving channel filter is four orders with three transmission zeros. The authors fabricated and measured it, in narrowband, the tested results, synthesis responses and simulation results are well matched with each other, which will provide more flexibility in the design of diplexers for wireless communication system.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe use of natural gas pipeline networks to transmit hydrogen energy is an important form of hydrogen energy utilisation. The coupling of hydrogen‐enriched natural gas pipeline network and power grid involves the energy conversion of electricity‐hydrogen‐electricity, so the assessment is crucial because the system is complex, and the hazards to the system can be identified. This paper proposes a risk assessment method for gas‐electric coupling of hydrogen‐enriched natural gas pipeline networks and a three‐stage risk assessment model to assess the life cycle risk of natural gas pipelines; a material energy‐based risk transfer model considering gas‐electric coupling is proposed to describe the risk transfer process of hydrogen‐enriched natural gas between the gas network and the grid. By comparing and analysing the risk of natural gas blending ratio to the pipeline and the risk of pipeline pressure to the pipeline, the validity of the model is verified, which provides safety support for the connection of the natural gas pipeline system to the grid and ensures the efficient use of hydrogen energy.

Published: November 2023

AbstractWhen using untrusted third parties to compress and transmit images in real‐life scenarios, it is vital to encrypt them before compression. In order to better address the issues of low security in the original image and poor reconstruction quality of the encrypted image during compressed sensing, this paper proposes a 2D compressed sensing scheme for encrypted images based on complex‐valued measurement matrix (2DCS‐CVM). Firstly, the SHA‐256 algorithm generates keys for the hyperchaotic Lorenz system, and then the chaotic sequences are used to create encrypted images with increased security through subtractive diffusion and global permutation. Secondly, the complex‐valued Vandermonde measurement matrix is utilized for 2D compressed sensing on the encrypted image, and the two‐dimensional projected gradient with embedding decryption algorithm is used to generate recovered images with improved reconstruction performance. Finally, the measurement matrix's computational complexity and transmission bandwidth are reduced through structural sparsification with sparse random matrices. Simulation results demonstrate that this scheme offers an optimal balance between storage, computational complexity, hardware implementation, and reconstruction performance while providing excellent security and robustness.
Eco‐environmental operation of energy hub considering uncertainties of supply/demand‐side resources with introducing a novel optimization algorithm

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this paper, the optimal operation of Energy hub (EH) based upon both demand and renewable energy resources (RESs) uncertainties is investigated. Here, an innovative scenario‐based energy hub energy management system (EH‐EMS) is proposed for simultaneous cost and emission reduction considering the abovementioned uncertainties. Moreover, a multi objective hybrid heuristic algorithm, the so‐called hBES‐MOGWO, is introduced for solving the proposed EH‐EMS, which is a combination of bald eagle search (BES) and multi objective gray wolf optimization (MOGWO) algorithms. The proposed EH consists of photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT), boiler, heat storage (HS),combined heat and power (CHP) and multi‐carrier energy storage technology such as power to gas (PtG) technology, electric vehicles and heat storages. Flexible loads are also taken into account for reducing cost and emission by participation in demand response programs (DRPs). The optimization results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hBES‐MOGWO algorithm. The simulation results illustrated that the total cost of EH‐EMS can be effectively reduced by installing energy storage systems and implementing DRPs. The results emphasize that considering uncertainties can lead to increase the operating costs and emission, while flexible loads participation in DRPs and PtG can reduce the aforementioned ones.
Air‐cored axial flux permanent magnet generator for direct driven micro wind turbines
Authors: El‐Hasan Tareq S. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper presents the development of an Air‐Cored Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (ACAF PMG) integrated for direct battery charging scheme for urban and rural micro‐wind turbine applications rated at 1 kW. The proposed generator has a Single Stator Double Rotor configuration with a relatively short axial length. In this paper, the analytical model for generator sizing is presented and the main parameters are defined. Novel analytical model is presented to determine the required number of turns for each phase in order to produce a balanced voltage in the three phases. The generator is electromagnetically analyzed using Finite Element model and simulated using Matlab/Simulink to predict its performance under several operating conditions. The effect of retainment ring type on the generator performance is also demonstrated. The machine is harnessed to a battery bank via a three‐phase fully controlled converter using six bridge thyristors to regulate the output voltage delivered from the generator to the battery. Generator model and simulation results are validated via experimental tests. The preliminary experimental results showed a good match with the simulation results. Moreover, the proposed machine is compared favourably with other counter machines of similar configuration and power ratings in terms of machine size, power‐to‐weight ratio, and voltage regulation. This paper therefore demonstrates the concrete benefits of utilizing the axial flux PMG in scavenging energy to generate electrical power from micro wind turbines.
A restructuring analysis of the non‑inferential evidential verb han in Siwkolan Amis
Authors: Jheng Wei-Cherng Sam 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis work aims to investigate the morphosyntactic properties ofhanin Siwkolan Amis and to defend a lexical split ofhan, one being a lexical category with argument structure and the other a functional category merging to Voice0. I argue that the functionalhancannot be analyzed as a quotative verb or apv-inflected verb as proposed in the literature, due to novel findings thathan(a) is permitted in patient, instrumental and locative voice constructions, (b) represses the presence of voice affixes, (c) must stand immediately adjacent to the lexical verb and (d) encodes the non-inferential evidentiality. I followCinque’s (2004)functional approach to restructuring predicates by treatinghanas a functional category of Voice0andShih & Lin’s (2011)voice Agree system where voice is a reflex of thematic relations. This analysis fares well with Wu’s (2006,2007) proposed system of undergoer voice in Amis which subsumes patient, instrument and locative voice in general. Moreover, the [iθ] feature on Voice0is spelt out ashansurfacing as a bound affix attached to the raised lexical verb fromv0. Several issues involved in dealing with the Amis voice system and implications for the evidential systems in Formosan languages are also discussed.
Indirect translation and sustainable development

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn August 2022, theNew York Timespublished an article entitledWhy is this colorful little wheel suddenly everywhere in Japan?(Dooley and Ueno 2022). The little wheel refers to the logo of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a United Nations (UN) initiative at the core of Agenda 2030, an extensive “plan of action for people, planet and prosperity” (UN General Assembly 2015). As illustrated by the Japanese example, the SDGs enjoy increasing public visibility across the globe and are frequently appealed to in education, politics and corporate communication. Despite the importance attached to the goals in both national and international settings, the SDG framework has received little attention in translation studies. This special collection aims to address this gap. The introduction presents the SDGs and highlights the role played in their dissemination by indirect translation, understood as translation of translation. The four articles included in the collection are introduced and further reflections are provided on the position of language as a resource at the interface of economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) were reconstructed from both collected emission line intensities and a collisional radiative model. The obtained EEDFs from this method were compared with those obtained from Langmuir probe diagnostics over a wide range of discharge conditions (

The following conclusions were obtained: (1) using a sufficiently large number (≳20–30) of Ar/Kr2p-1s emission lines can increase the accuracy of the determined EEDF; (2) for discharges with low electron densities, using emission line sets for both Ar and Kr [instead of only one (Ar or Kr) line set] can significantly reduce the uncertainty in the determined EEDF.
Effectiveness of the TGI-QRPA approach for studying the electric dipole response
Authors: Guliyev E , Quliyev H , Kuliev A A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Despite various RPA-based approaches being widely used, each has its own advantages and disadvantages that can influence the results. In spite of its several drawbacks, using realistic mean-field potential and just small number model-dependent parameter makes TGI-QRPA a very efficient RPA-based approach for investigating dipole responses. This work tests the applicability of the TGI-QRPA approach for investigating dipole excitations through a comparison with the up-to-date, fully self-consistent FAM-QRPA approach and the available experimental data. Take into account the fact FAM-QRPA approach has its own drawbacks, such a comparison will also show how the pros and cons of both models can influence the results. The result obtained here with the TGI-QRPA approach was close to that obtained through the up-to-date FAM-QRPA approach and in some aspects, it better reflected the experimental results in terms of the resonance energy and photo-absorption cross -sections of E1 strength. It can therefore be said that despite not being fully self-consistent, using the realistic mean-field potential (Woods–Saxon), analytically restoring the broken translational and Galilean invariances, and using a only two model parameters make the TGI-QRPA approach an effective tool for investigating dipole excitations, where calculations are performed for the electric dipole responses in deformed 156Gd, 160Gd, 166Er, and 168Er isotopes.
Particle-pair creation by high-harmonic laser fields
Authors: Mendonça J Tito 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We consider the dynamical pair-creation by intense electric fields in vacuum, based on exact solutions of the Dirac equation using the temporal Klein process. This approach gives a simple interpretation of the QED processes associated with arbitrary time-varying electric fields, and leads to the standard quantum kinetic equation. As an application, we consider the case of an intense laser field containing a large spectrum of coherent high-harmonics (HH). The role of the fast field oscillations is discussed. We show that HH pulses eventually lead to an enhancement of pair-creation and can be described as a sequence of dynamically equivalent Sauter pulses.
Quantum dots interacting with a non-classical field under Kerr-phase modulation as a resource for repeatable quantum algorithms
Authors: Balybin S N , Tikhonova O V 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
An analytical solution describing the dynamics of a hybrid system comprising an interacting quantum dot and a quantum electromagnetic field in the presence of Kerr nonlinearity is obtained. A completely new regime of interaction is found. It provides stable periodically repeating dynamics for the total bipartite system and for the quantum dot excitation, accompanied by full and pure revivals. This is even observed when the initial field state is in a squeezed vacuum. Periodical strong entanglement and full disentanglement between the interacting subsystems are demonstrated. The obtained regime forms the basis for the development of quantum information algorithms and photon–matter interfaces involving these hybrid systems. The formation of non-Gaussian field states is revealed. Methods to control and manage the specific features of the found pure and mixed states of the considered subsystems are developed.
Improving Sustainability Asset Performance Based on Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis
Authors: Nugraha Muhamad , Cahyo Winda Nur 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The success of an industry is often measured through sustainability performance because it serves as a benchmark of consideration for asset managers in carrying out actions, planning, and decisions. However, changes in the utilization of physical assets between entities impact not only the life cycle of these assets but also sustainability assets that will affect company performance in terms of controlling company efficiency. The DDEA method is an analytical method that can be used to assess the level of efficiency of the performance of sustainability assets. The performance of sustainability assets is measured using variable maintenance costs, asset availability, material consumption as an economic aspect, variable environmental impact costs, employee health costs, and accidents and incidents as social aspects. In addition, material rejects variables, hazardous waste, and energy consumption costs as environmental aspects. From the results of the analysis of sustainability asset performance through the DDEA method in the period 2018–2022, it shows that both before and after organizational changes have no significant impact. This is shown by the level of efficiency of sustainability asset indicators on the impact of organizational change found in DMU 1, DMU 2, DMU 3, DMU 5, DMU 6, DMU 9, and DMU 10. The achievement of constant or efficient conditions with input-oriented CRS efficiency is at a score of 1. While DMU 4, DMU 7, and DMU 8 show increasing conditions with input-oriented CRS efficiency at less than 1.
