The Communication Success Screener: A Preliminary Investigation of Perceived Communicative Success Across Modalities, Environments, and Demands
Authors: Gallée Jeanne , Tilton-Bolowsky Victoria E. , Stark Brielle C. 
Published: November 2023

Purpose:
Behavioral intervention targeting speech, language, and communication concerns is an established therapeutic approach for patients with communication concerns across a range of acquired neurogenic disorders. The multidimensional factors that contribute to a person's self-identified communication challenges and strengths in their daily communication needs must be considered to provide functional and person-centered care. While assessments grounded in clinician observation or client self-report exist, there is a direct need for a screening tool that comprehensively evaluates the roles of modality (verbal, text, gesture) and environment (in-person, virtual) on self-reported success across communicative demands. In this study, we describe a preliminary approach to monitoring the progression of receptive and expressive communication skills in people with chronic poststroke aphasia in the context of communication practices of the 21st century, culminating in the development and exploratory implementation of a novel clinical instrument: the Communication Success Screener (COMSS).

Method:
Thirty-three participants with aphasia due to stroke were recruited to complete and evaluate the COMSS via an online survey. Quantitative responses and open-ended participant feedback were collected to validate and propose adaptations to the COMSS. Group-level analyses and case presentations were used to highlight COMSS features and outcomes.

Results:
Participant responses to the COMSS questionnaire suggest that this screening tool creates differentiated communicative success profiles based on self-report. Participant feedback also indicated that the COMSS appropriately evaluates self-reported success across modalities of verbal, text, and gesture in the context of in-person and virtual environments.

Conclusions:
The communication concerns experienced by people with aphasia are often heterogeneous and vary as a function of their daily activities of living, preferred language modalities, and environmental supports. We present preliminary feasibility analyses of the COMSS as a potential tool to support the monitoring of functional change by evaluating self-reported communicative success across form, modality, environment, and task demand.

Research on partition control of direct air‐cooling condenser based on multivariable Hammerstein CARMA model predictive control
Authors: Sun Yang , Deng Hui , Du Ming , Li Yunzhi 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPartition control of the fan array within a direct air‐cooling condenser (DACC) is recognized as a highly effective energy‐saving measure and a means to mitigate the adverse effects of ambient winds. This study focuses on the development of a dynamic partition model, which establishes the relationship between mass flow rate and fan array speed under windy conditions. The model is grounded in multivariable Hammerstein controlled autoregressive moving average (H‐CARMA) systems. Additionally, an innovative extended stochastic gradient algorithm, founded on the hierarchical identification principle, is introduced to estimate the model's unknown parameters. The recursive least square is employed as a benchmark to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the approach. Subsequently, leveraging the identified model, the model predictive controller based on the differential evolution method is designed to derive the optimal control law. Finally, simulation test and analysis are carried out to testify the effectiveness of our control strategy. The experiment result shows that the dynamic characteristics of the system have been significantly improved and the fan power consumption is reduced by 3.5% compared to the PID controller.
Interest rate risk of Chinese commercial banks based on the GARCH-EVT model

Published: November 2023

AbstractInterest rate market risk faced by China’s commercial banks is increasing after the announcement that the interest rate marketisation is completed. This paper examines the Value-at-Risk, and statistical properties in the daily price return of Shanghai banks’ overnight offered rate. The study applies two-stage approaches, combining GARCH-type models with extreme value theory. Firstly, the Markov regime switching model is used to test the regime states of the series. Secondly, the performance of different VaR models are examined. Results show that the extreme value approach estimates better at the 99% confidence level. The EGARCH-GED model is the most suitable of the employed GARCH-type models. The back-testing results support the idea that the approach used in this study is appropriate for improving commercial banks’ daily risk management. This paper applies the GARCH-EVT method for interest rate measurement after China’s interest rate marketisation and added regime analysis of interest rate. Suggested policy implications will help formulate policies that guide the activities of commercial banks in China.
Resistive instabilities in toroidal anisotropic plasmas
Authors: Shi Tonghui , Shen B. , Wan B. 
Published: November 2023

Resistive singular layer equations are developed by applying the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model to toroidal anisotropic plasmas. This work extends the previous ideal MHD theory [Shi et al. Phys. Plasmas 23, 082121 (2016)] to the resistive case. These layer equations can be used to investigate resistive localized MHD instabilities, such as tearing instability and resistive interchange instability. Compared to existing resistive theory [Johnson and Hastie, Phys. Fluids 31, 1609 (1988)], our model includes plasma compressibility, allowing for a study of the coupling between parallel motion to perpendicular one, which is known as the apparent mass effect. In addition, these obtained equations are valid for low n modes, where n is the toroidal mode number. The dispersion relation is derived in a reduced model. We find that the anisotropic pressure effect (when p⊥ &gt; p‖) not only increases the stable threshold of the resistive interchange mode but also raises the critical value Δc of the tearing mode stability index Δ′, which represents the logarithmic jump of the radial magnetic field perturbation across the rational surface. This discovery holds significant practical implications for mitigating neoclassical tearing modes in high confinement plasmas, particularly those characterized by a low aspect ratio (such as spherical tokamaks) or low magnetic shear (as designed in ITER hybrid scenarios). However, it enhances the growth rate of the tearing mode in a low growth rate region, where p‖ and p⊥ denote the pressure components parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic fields, respectively.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine presents one of the most promising modalities for efficient non-invasive treatment of a variety of cancers, but the application of radionuclides in cancer therapy and diagnostics is severely limited by their nonspecific tissue accumulation and poor biocompatibility. Here, we explore the use of nanosized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as carriers of radionuclides to order to improve their delivery to tumour. To demonstrate the concept, we prepared polymer-coated MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 MOFs and conjugated them with clinically utilized radionuclide 188Re. The nanoparticles demonstrated high loading efficacy of radionuclide reaching specific activity of 49 MBq mg−1. Pharmacokinetics of loaded MOFs was investigated in mice bearing colon adenocarcinoma. The biological half-life of the radionuclide in blood was (20.9 ± 1.3) h, and nanoparticles enabled it to passively accumulate and retain in the tumour. The radionuclide delivery with MOFs led to a significant decrease of radioactivity uptake by the thyroid gland and stomach as compared with perrhenate salt injection, which is beneficial for reducing the side toxicity of nuclear therapy. The reported data on the functionalization and pharmacokinetics of MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 for radionuclide delivery unveils the promising potential of these MOFs for nuclear medicine.
Toward large-scale, ordered and tunable Majorana-zero-modes lattice on iron-based superconductors
Authors: Li Geng , Li Meng , Zhou Xingtai , Gao Hong-Jun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Majorana excitations are the quasiparticle analog of Majorana fermions in solid materials. Typical examples are the Majorana zero modes (MZMs) and the dispersing Majorana modes. When probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy, the former manifest as a pronounced conductance peak locating precisely at zero-energy, while the latter behaves as constant or slowly varying density of states. The MZMs obey non-abelian statistics and are believed to be building blocks for topological quantum computing, which is highly immune to the environmental noise. Existing MZM platforms include hybrid structures such as topological insulator, semiconducting nanowire or 1D atomic chains on top of a conventional superconductor, and single materials such as the iron-based superconductors (IBSs) and 4Hb–TaS2. Very recently, ordered and tunable MZM lattice has also been realized in IBS LiFeAs, providing a scalable and applicable platform for future topological quantum computation. In this review, we present an overview of the recent local probe studies on MZMs. Classified by the material platforms, we start with the MZMs in the iron-chalcogenide superconductors where FeTe0.55Se0.45 and (Li0.84Fe0.16)OHFeSe will be discussed. We then review the Majorana research in the iron-pnictide superconductors as well as other platforms beyond the IBSs. We further review recent works on ordered and tunable MZM lattice, showing that strain is a feasible tool to tune the topological superconductivity. Finally, we give our summary and perspective on future Majorana research.
Magnetic field effects and transverse ratchets in charge lattices coupled to asymmetric substrates
Authors: Reichhardt C J O , Reichhardt C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We examine a charge lattice coupled to a one-dimensional asymmetric potential in the presence of an applied magnetic field, which induces gyrotropic effects in the charge motion. This system could be realized for Wigner crystals in nanostructured samples, dusty plasmas, or other classical charge-ordered states where gyrotropic motion and damping can arise. For zero magnetic field, an applied external ac drive can produce a ratchet effect in which the particles move along the easy flow direction of the substrate asymmetry. The zero field ratchet effect can only occur when the ac drive is aligned with the substrate asymmetry direction; however, when a magnetic field is added, the gyrotropic forces generate a Hall effect that leads to a variety of new behaviors, including a transverse ratchet motion that occurs when the ac drive is perpendicular to the substrate asymmetry direction. We show that this system exhibits commensuration effects as well as reversals in the ratchet effect and the Hall angle of the motion. The magnetic field also produces a nonmonotonic ratchet efficiency when the particles become localized at high fields.
Constraints on primordial curvature power spectrum with pulsar timing arrays
Authors: You Zhi-Qiang , Yi Zhu , Wu You 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe stochastic signal detected by NANOGrav, PPTA, EPTA, and CPTA can be explained by the scalar-induced gravitational waves. In order to determine the scalar-induced gravitational waves model that best fits the stochastic signal, we employ both single- and double-peak parameterizations for the power spectrum of the primordial curvature perturbations, where the single-peak scenarios include the δ-function, box, lognormal, and broken power law model, and the double-peak scenario is described by the double lognormal form. Using Bayesian inference, we find that there is no significant evidence for or against the single-peak scenario over the double-peak model, with log (Bayes factors) among these models ln ℬ < 1. Therefore, we cannot distinguish the different shapes of the power spectrum of the primordial curvature perturbation with the current sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays.
Regular multi-horizon Lee-Wick black holes

Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this paper we carry out a detailed analysis of the static spherically symmetric solutions of a sixth-derivative Lee-Wick gravity model in the effective delta source approximation. Previous studies of these solutions have only considered the particular case in which the real and the imaginary part of the Lee-Wick mass μ = a + ib are equal. However, as we show here, the solutions exhibit an interesting structure when the full parameter space is considered, owing to the oscillations of the metric that depend on the ratio b/a. Such oscillations can generate a rich structure of horizons, a sequence of mass gaps and the existence of multiple regimes for black hole sizes (horizon position gaps). In what concerns the thermodynamics of these objects, the oscillation of the Hawking temperature determines the presence of multiple mass scales for the remnants of the evaporation process and may permit the existence of cold black holes with zero Hawking temperature T and quasi-stable intermediate configurations with T ≈ 0 and a long evaporation lifetime. For the sake of generality, we consider two families of solutions, one with a trivial shift function and the other with a non-trivial one (dirty black hole). The latter solution has the advantage of reproducing the modified Newtonian-limit metric of Lee-Wick gravity for small and large values of r.
Monochromatic neutrinos from dark matter through the Higgs portal
Authors: de la Torre Pablo , Gutiérrez Miguel , Masip Manuel 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWe define a minimal model of dark matter with a fermion singletχcoupled to the visible sector through the Higgs portal and with a heavy Dirac neutrinoNthat opens the annihilation channelχχ → Nν. The model provides the observed relic abundance consistently with bounds from direct searches and implies a monochromatic neutrino signal at 10 GeV–1 TeV in indirect searches. In particular, we obtain the capture rate ofχby the Sun and show that the signal could be above theneutrino floorproduced by cosmic rays showering in the solar surface. In most benchmark models this solar astrophysical background is above the expected dark matter signal, so the model that we propose is a canonical example of WIMP not excluded by direct searches that could be studied at neutrino telescopes and also at colliders.

Abstract
The as-built stiffness in the ITER central solenoid (CS) modules (CSM1 thorough to CSM4 are currently manufactured) determines the range of vertical compression forces that can be tolerated by the CS modules during ITER operation. Since the as-built stiffness of the CS modules manufactured (∼32 GPa and ∼34 GPa for CSM1 and CSM2, respectively and similar for the other modules) has been reduced from the design value (53 GPa), the CS axial (vertical) force criteria have been updated assuming a conservative stiffness (25 GPa) with margins for all six CS modules. Initial analysis using the updated CS force criteria has revealed that this reduction affects only the plasma initiation with fully charged CS in the ITER 15 MA Baseline DT scenario, resulting in a slight reduction of poloidal magnetic flux, from 117.5 Wb to 116.2 Wb at initial CS magnetization. Therefore, the 15 MA Baseline scenario has been re-developed with an updated plasma start-up, and then the entire evolution of the CS and poloidal field coil parameters has been validated against all the coil currents, fields and forces criteria. To explore potential risks and opportunities for further optimization of scenarios, the equilibrium operational space (the plasma internal inductance versus the poloidal magnetic flux produced by the coils) at flat-top burn has been analyzed using the CORSICA and DINA codes. The three major ITER reference DT operation scenarios, 15 MA Q = 10 Baseline, 12.5 MA Q > 5 Hybrid and 10 MA Q ∼ 5 Steady-State, satisfy all the coil criteria including the CS force updated reflecting the as-built stiffness. The evolution of the plasma discharge parameters within the equilibrium operational spaces provided a guidance for potential optimization with margins.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the density of Cloud to Ground lightning strikes in the Tuban Regency area from September 2022 to January 2023 using the help of a Geographic Information System (GIS). After processing and analyzing the data, the results were that the highest lightning strike density occurred in October 2022, with 40240 strikes, while the lowest occurred in 2790 strikes. The total number of strikes from September to January is 135249 strikes. Based on aspects of the earth’s surface, it was obtained that the density of cloud to ground lightning strikes that occurred in the Tuban Regency area increased along with increasing height. This can be seen where the southern part of Tuban Regency, namely in the sub-districts bordering Bojonegoro Regency, including Parengan, Soko, and Senori sub-districts, has the highest level of vulnerability.

Authors: Anis A , Munasir M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The increasing use of detergents in daily life can cause environmental pollution. So, to solve the problem, membrane technology is suitable to reduce various pollution from water. Graphene Oxide (GO) and SiO2 are very much of concern and have been studied in recent years because they can change many characteristics of materials and can expand the range of applications in membrane manufacturing. So, this study aims to analyze the results of PSf/GO-SiO2 membrane fabrication by phase inversion method and analyze the results of PSf/GO-SiO2 membrane performance as detergent polluted water filtration. In GO synthesis using Hummer’s method, GO-SiO2 composite synthesis using Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) in-situ hydrolysis method, and PSf/GO-SiO2 membrane fabrication using the phase inversion method. So, it is concluded that the PSf/GO-SiO2 membrane fabrication has been successfully carried out, as indicated by the SEM results; with the increasing presence of SiO2, the membrane pore size is getting bigger. For the performance of the PSf/GO-SiO2 membrane with UV-Vis test, the results showed that the flux value of the PSf; PSf/GO and PSf/GO-SiO2 (0.6) membranes was 119.58 L/m2.h; 140.35 L/m2.h and 157.79 L/m2.h respectively. In line with the results of the membrane rejection values are 95.22%, 97.68%, and 98.55%, respectively. The membrane with the best performance in the filtration of detergent-polluted water is the PSf/GO-SiO2 (0.6) membrane. The presence of SiO2 in the membrane causes a higher flux value because the larger membrane pore size influences it, so the PSf/GO-SiO2 membrane can be used to filtrate detergent-contaminated water.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Understanding electromagnetic wave physical phenomena in three dimensions can be challenging. This research aims to create a model for how electromagnetic waves travel through a three-dimensional medium. One of the best ways to visualize this type of electromagnetic wave is Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD). The simulation results revealed that the properties of the dielectric material and conductivity affect the shape of the sinusoidal pulse propagation, where the electromagnetic wave experiences reflection and transmission. The properties of the material influence the electric and magnetic fields in various ways, affecting the interaction between the transmitted and reflected waves. This interaction is influenced by several factors, such as permeability, and leads to either constructive or destructive interference.
The algorithm for Detecting Intruders at Station Platform Ends Based on Single-line Radar Point Clouds
Authors: Wang Xiaoshu , Bai Wei , Peng Kaibei 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is a significant concern that there is a risk of passenger intrusions at station platform ends. Current detection uses video triggered by single-line radar, but it is ineffective for accurate identification. In this paper, we address this issue by first analyzing the characteristics of intruders at the ends of train platforms. We propose a two-stage filtering-recognition method to achieve intruder detection based on single-line radar point cloud data. In the first stage, we smooth initial point cloud data using a double-chain exponential weighted moving average filter by grouping points. In the second stage, we extract features using the background subtraction method and a critical threshold of point numbers to detect intruder targets. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is effectively capable of detecting intruders at different distances.
