Does learning ambidexterity affect the sense of urban integration among new-generation migrant workers in China? An empirical study based on career growth and environmental dynamism
Authors: Zheng Ai-xiang 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe urban integration of new-generation migrant workers is an important part of the process of new urbanization in China, and the acquisition of a sense of urban integration is one of the necessary signs of urban integration for new-generation migrant workers. Based on ambidexterity theory, we used a multiple regression analysis to study the mechanism underlying the effects of learning ambidexterity on the sense of urban integration of new-generation migrant workers. The empirical results showed that learning ambidexterity had significant and positive effects on both sense of urban integration and career growth; career growth had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between learning ambidexterity and sense of urban integration; environmental dynamism had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between exploratory learning and career growth; and environmental dynamism had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between exploitative learning and sense of urban integration. This study responds to previous research on the ambidexterity of migrant workers and further enriches the ambidexterity theory in research on migrant workers from the perspectives of career growth and urban integration. And in contrast to earlier studies, this research introduces environmental dynamism and establishes an analysis framework for migrant worker urban integration in a dynamic environment.
Online sharing behaviors driven by need for approval: the choice of individuals with low social intelligence and high gratitude?
Authors: Nie Ting , Gui Yanli , Huang Yiying 
Published: January 2024

AbstractKnowledge sharing as an altruistic behavior has gained widespread attention. In the information age, online sharing is increasingly popular and has become an important way of exchanging and stimulating knowledge. Through a survey of 458 employees in China, this study examines the influence mechanism of need for approval on individual online sharing behavior and the moderating effect of gratitude and social intelligence. Study findings show that self-presentation has a mediating effect between need for approval and online sharing behavior, and individual need for approval can promote online sharing behavior by enhancing self-presentation. Gratitude and social intelligence both have positive moderating effects on the relations between self-presentation and online sharing behavior. Gratitude moderates the indirect influence of need for approval on online sharing behavior through self-presentation. Individuals with high gratitude and high social intelligence at the same time can strengthen the positive effect of self-presentation on online sharing behavior. Individuals can meet their approval need and obtain learning opportunities through online sharing behaviors. Organizations can select talents and obtain valuable information by establishing sharing platforms. Governments should also regulate online platforms for knowledge exchange as well as encourage individual online sharing behaviors.
“Listening to the zoom of a hornet”: Virginia Woolf’s feminist reflections on the sounds of military weapons and war violence
Authors: Zhu Haifeng , Ding Hui , Chen Weiyu 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn her diaries, novels, and essays, Virginia Woolf records the psychological trauma the British people suffered from in the soundscape of military weapons during the two world wars and describes its delayed effects on the populace after the wars. Drawing upon the notions of the soundscape and Johan Galtung’s violence triangle, this paper explores how Woolf’s works portray the traumatic experience brought by the soundscape of military weapons to soldiers and ordinary citizens during the two world wars and discusses how the roar of cars and planes in her works induces the public’s traumatic memory after the wars. Then, through a close study of her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid”, this paper contends that the soundscape of German air raids compels Woolf to contemplate the roles of feminism in opposing the wars and healing war trauma.
Photodissociation of CO2 via the 1Πg state: Wavelength-dependent imaging studies of O(1D2) photoproducts
Authors: Liu Qian , Gao Qinghua , Liu Peng , Yang Xueming , Yu Shengrui 
Published: January 2024

Photodissociation of CO2 via the 1Πg state is investigated using a time-sliced velocity-mapped ion imaging apparatus combined with a tunable vacuum ultraviolet photolysis source. The main O(1D2) + CO(X1Σ+) channel is directly observed from the measured images of O(1D2) photoproducts at 129.08–134.76 nm. The total kinetic energy release spectra determined based on these images show that the energetic thresholds for the O(1D2) + CO(X1Σ+) photoproducts correspond to the thermochemical thresholds for the photodissociation of CO2(v2 = 0) and CO2(v2 = 1). One significant difference among the CO(X1Σ+, v) vibrational distributions for the predominant CO2(v2 = 0) dissociation is that the population of CO(v = 0) becomes favorable at 130.23–133.45 nm compared to the Boltzmann-like component (v &gt; 0) that always exists at 129.08–134.76 nm. The wavelength dependences of the overall β are found to follow the variation trend of the CO(v = 0) abnormal intensity. The vibrational state-specific β values present a roughly decreasing trend with an increase in v, whereas β(v = 0) appears to be significantly larger than β(v = 1) at 130.23–133.45 nm compared to 134.76 and 129.08 nm. The non-statistical CO(v = 0) with larger β values at 130.23–133.45 nm implies that an additional pathway may open through the conical intersection coupling to the dissociative 21A′  state, except for the ever-existing pathway that yields the Boltzmann-like component. In contrast, at 129.08 nm, the restoration of the statistical equilibrium in the CO(X1Σ+, v) vibrational distribution may be caused by the emergence of novel dissociation pathways arising from the participation of the 31A″ state.
Binder-free barium-implanted MnO2 nanosheets on carbon cloth for flexible zinc-ion batteries
Authors: Li Yueying , Li Na , Li Zhen , Wang Jian-Gan 
Published: January 2024

The intrinsically low electrical conductivity and poor structural fragility of MnO2 have significantly hampered the zinc storage performance. In this work, Ba2+-implanted δ-MnO2 nanosheets have been hydrothermally grown on a carbon cloth (Ba–MnO2@CC) as an extremely stable and efficient cathode material of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The three-dimensionally porous architecture composed of interwoven thin MnO2 nanosheets effectively shortens the electron/ion transport distances, enlarges the electrode/electrolyte contact area, and increases the active sites for the electrochemical reaction. Meanwhile, Ba2+ could function as an interlayer pillar to stabilize the crystal structure of MnO2. Consequently, the as-optimized Ba–MnO2@CC exhibits remarkable Zn2+ storage capabilities, such as a high capacity (305 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1), prolonged lifespan (95% retention after a 200-cycling test), and superb rate capability. The binder-free cathode is also applicable for flexible energy storage devices with attractive properties. The present investigation provides important insights into designing advanced cathode materials toward wearable electronics.
Cleaving idioms with right-node-raising
Authors: Kim Jeong-Seok , Jung Duk-Ho , Lee Jin Hyung 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper examines right-node-raising (RNR) with idiom chunks. RNR sentences allow idiomatic interpretation when
they contain the whole idiom chunk within the pivot (i.e., the shared element) (e.g., Jessica believed, but Zac doubted, that
Justin popped the question.), but those containing only a part of the idiom within the pivot do not (e.g., #John
kicked, and Mary filled, the bucket.). Given this, Woo
(2015) argues for a multidominance approach (cf. Wilder 1999) to RNR in that
the multiply dominated pivot must not be partially shared for idiomatic interpretation. However, we report that even if the pivot
contains the whole idiom part, the issue of missing idiomatic interpretation in RNR still lingers (e.g., #We played a party game,
and they used an ice hammer, to break the ice.). In order to deal with this problem, multidominance, movement, or
PF deletion analyses must resort to an extra interpretive parallelism according to which a pivot cannot be used in two different
senses simultaneously. From this perspective, we argue that an LF copying approach can explain the idiomaticity in RNR without
extra proviso since under this analysis, it is not necessary to postulate a separate LF constraint of interpretive symmetry. We
extend our analysis to Korean (and Japanese) data pertaining to RNR with idiomatic or polysemous expressions. We thus conclude
that lexical mismatches and interpretive mismatches in English and Korean RNR are solid evidence of interpretive identity in
RNR.
Sino-Tibetan *w in Tibetan and Old Chinese
Authors: Schuessler Axel 
Published: January 2024

AbstractFrom the perspective ofBaxter’s (1992)Old Chinese (OC, which is generally followed bySchuessler 2009), the fate of a putative Sino-Tibetan (ST) *win Tibetan and Old Chinese is quite straight-forward: In Tibetan *wwas deleted everywhere in all environments; in word-initial position loss of *w‑ resulted in (smooth) vocalic onset, it is argued here that this feature is represented by the letter’a-chung, e.g.’oŋ‘come’ from *waŋ; some such words have developed a new, or alternative,y-initial (e.g.yoŋbeside’oŋ). Vocalic onset (with’a-chung) is also the outcome of loss of other initial consonants (e.g. suffix’ufrombu). In Old Chinese *wsurvived only as part of labiovelars, in absolute word initial position (later Middle Chinese initial jwi̯-), and in configurations *hw‑ (voiceless *w), *ʔw‑ and *sw‑ (s-prefix). Drawn into the discussions are side-issues, like the elimination of *ɦ‑ from the Old Chinese phonemic inventory; OC final *-rmetathesis, monophthongization in closed syllables, ST labiovelars, as well as a number of new etymologies. This paper confirms by and large the conclusions ofHandel (2009)andJacques (2013), but with some adjustments and elaborations.
Causative alternation in Zuo Tradition
Authors: Wuyun Saina 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study examines the different variants of causative alternation in Zuo Tradition (左傳), an archaic Chinese narrative history from the Pre-Qin period. It is found that denominal verbs, unergative verbs, and “pure” unaccusative verbs participate actively in the alternation, and that the causative variant bears a complex relation with the agentive and putative variants; this causes problems for previous analyses. This paper proposes a two-step build-up of eventuality for causative alternation in archaic Chinese. Specifically, I propose that verbs in archaic Chinese are monadic and select only one argument. The merger of the verb with this argument is the realization of its eventuality conceptualized in the Lexicon; any further merger is determined by the eventuality composed by different light verbs in syntax. The uninitiated light verb is a placeholder with an empty argument. A specific light verb value is determined by the eventuality that is sent to the syntactic structure. Thus, the difference between all variants in causative alternation witnessed in Zuo Tradition lies in the different eventualities which they introduce into the syntactic configuration.
More than one way to skin a dose volume: the impact of dose-surface map calculation approach on study reproducibility
Authors: Patrick Haley M , Kildea John 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective. Dose-surface maps (DSMs) provide spatial representations of the radiation dose to organ surfaces during radiotherapy and are a valuable tool for identifying dose deposition patterns that are predictive of radiation toxicities. Over the years, many different DSM calculation approaches have been introduced and used in dose-outcome studies. However, little consideration has been given to how these calculation approaches may be impacting the reproducibility of studies in the field. Therefore, we conducted an investigation to determine the level of equivalence of DSMs calculated with different approaches and their subsequent impact on study results. Approach. Rectum and bladder DSMs were calculated for 20 prostate radiotherapy patients using combinations of the most common slice orientation and spacing styles in the literature. Equivalence of differently calculated DSMs was evaluated using pixel-wise comparisons and DSM features (rectum only). Finally, mock cohort comparison studies were conducted with DSMs calculated using each approach to determine the level of dosimetric study reproducibility between calculation approaches. Main results. We found that rectum DSMs calculated using the planar and non-coplanar orientation styles were non-equivalent in the posterior rectal region and that equivalence of DSMs calculated with different slice spacing styles was conditional on the choice of inter-slice distance used. DSM features were highly sensitive to choice of slice orientation style and DSM sampling resolution. Finally, while general result trends were consistent between the comparison studies performed using different DSMs, statisitically significant subregions and features could vary greatly in position and magnitude. Significance. We have determined that DSMs calculated with different calculation approaches are frequently non-equivalent and can lead to differing conclusions between studies performed using the same dataset. We recommend that the DSM research community work to establish consensus calculation approaches to ensure reproducibility within the field.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective. Imaging of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles based on their non-linear response to alternating magnetic fields shows promise for imaging cells and vasculature in healthy and diseased tissue. Such imaging can be achieved through x-space reconstruction typically along a unidirectional Cartesian trajectory, which rapidly convolutes the particle distribution with a ‘anisotropic blurring’ point spread function (PSF), leading to images with anisotropic resolution. Approach. Here we propose combining the time domine-system matrix and x-space reconstruction methods into a forward model, where the output of the forward model is the PSF-blurred x-space reconstructed image. We then treat the blur as an inverse problem solved by Kaczmarz iteration. Main results. After we have proposed the method optimization, the normal resolution of simulation and device images has been increased from 3.5 mm and 5.25 mm to 1.5 mm and 3.25 mm, which has reached the level in the tangential resolution. Quantitative indicators of image quality such as PSNR and SSIM have also been greatly improved. Significance. Simulation and imaging of real phantoms indicate that our approach provides better isotropic resolution and image quality than the x-space method alone or other methods for removing PSF blur. Using our proposed method to optimize the image quality of x-space reconstructed images using unidirectional Cartesian trajectories, it will promote the clinical application of MPI in the future.
Resolving inter-crystal scatter in a light-sharing depth-encoding PET detector
Authors: Petersen Eric , LaBella Andy , Li Yixin , Wang Zipai , Goldan Amir H 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective. Inter-crystal scattering (ICS) in light-sharing positron emission tomography (PET) detectors leads to ambiguity in positioning the initial interaction, which significantly degrades the contrast, quantitative accuracy, and spatial resolution of the resulting image. Here, we attempt to resolve the positioning ambiguity of ICS in a light-sharing depth-encoding detector by exploiting the confined, deterministic light-sharing enabled by the segmented light guide unique to Prism-PET. Approach. We first considered a test case of ICS between two adjacent crystals using an analytical and a neural network approach. The analytical approach used a Bayesian estimation framework constructed from a scatter absorption model—the prior—and a detector response model—the likelihood. A simple neural network was generated for the same scenario, to provide mutual validation for the findings. Finally, we generalized the solution to three-dimensional event positioning that handles all events in the photopeak using a convolutional neural network with unique architecture that separately predicts the identity and depth-of-interaction (DOI) of the crystal containing the first interaction. Main results. The analytical Bayesian method generated an estimation error of 20.5 keV in energy and 3.1 mm in DOI. Further analysis showed that the detector response model was sufficiently robust to achieve adequate performance via maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), without prior information. We then found convergent results using a simple neural network. In the generalized solution using a convolutional neural network, we found crystal identification accuracy of 83% and DOI estimation error of 3.0 mm across all events. Applying this positioning algorithm to simulated data, we demonstrated significant improvements in image quality over the baseline, centroid-based positioning approach, attaining 38.9% improvement in intrinsic spatial resolution and enhanced clarity in hot spots of diameters 0.8 to 2.5 mm. Significance. The accuracy of our findings exceeds those of previous reports in the literature. The Prism-PET light guide, mediating confined and deterministic light-sharing, plays a key role in ICS recovery, as its mathematical embodiment—the detector response model—was the essential driver of accuracy in our results.
Q-deformed rainbows: a universal simulator of free entanglement spectra
Authors: Byles Lucy , Sierra Germán , Pachos Jiannis K 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The behavior of correlations across a bipartition is an indispensable tool in diagnosing quantum phases of matter. Here we present a spin chain with position-dependent XX couplings and magnetic fields, that can reproduce arbitrary structure of free fermion correlations across a bipartition. In particular, by choosing appropriately the strength of the magnetic fields we can obtain any single particle energies of the entanglement spectrum with high fidelity. The resulting ground state can be elegantly formulated in terms of q-deformed singlets. To demonstrate the versatility of our method we consider certain examples, such as a system with homogeneous correlations and a system with correlations that follow a prime number decomposition. Hence, our entanglement simulator can be easily employed for the generation of arbitrary entanglement spectra with possible applications in quantum technologies and condensed matter physics.
Grassmann time-evolving matrix product operators for equilibrium quantum impurity problems
Authors: Chen Ruofan , Xu Xiansong , Guo Chu 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Tensor-network-based methods are promising candidates to solve quantum impurity problems (QIP). They are free of sampling noises and the sign problem compared to state-of-the-art continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo methods. Recent progress made in tensor-network-based impurity solvers is to use the Feynman–Vernon influence functional to integrate out the bath analytically, retaining only the impurity dynamics and representing it compactly as a matrix product state. The recently proposed Grassmann time-evolving matrix product operator (GTEMPO) method is one of the representative methods in this direction. In this work, we systematically study the performance of GTEMPO in solving equilibrium QIPs at a finite temperature with a semicircular spectrum density of the bath. Our results show that its computational cost would generally increase as the temperature goes down and scale exponentially with the number of orbitals. In particular, the single-orbital Anderson impurity model can be efficiently solved with this method, for two orbitals we estimate that one could possibly reach inverse temperature β ≈ 20 if high-performance computing techniques are utilized, while beyond that only very high-temperature regimes can be reached in the current formalism. Our work paves the way to apply GTEMPO as an imaginary-time impurity solver.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Topological nodal-line semimetals are always characterized by the drumhead surface states at the open boundaries. In this paper we first derive an analytical expression for the surface Green’s function of a nodal-line semimetal. By making use of this result, we explore the charge and spin transport properties of a metallic chain on the surface of a nodal-line semimetal, as functions of the gate voltage applied on the top of the material. According to the size of the nodal loop, due to the coupling to the surface modes, the charge conductance in the chain is found to show a robust plateau at

. Correspondingly, the spin polarization of the transmitted current is

at the plateau region, or exhibits multiple peaks at nearly

. This feature can be viewed as a transport signature of the topological nodal-line semimetals.
Inverse engineering for robust state transport along a spin chain via low-energy subspaces

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Quantum state transfer (QST) plays a central role in the field of quantum computation and communication, but its quality will be deteriorated by the ubiquitous variations and noise in quantum systems. Here we propose robust and nonadiabatic protocols for transmitting quantum state across a strongly coupled spin chain, especially in the presence of unwanted disorders in the couplings. To this end, we approximately map the low-energy subspaces of the odd-size Heisenberg chain to a two-level system, and derive the sensitivity of the final fidelity with respect to systematic deviations or time-varying fluctuations. Subsequently, leveraging the flexibility of the inverse-engineering technique, we optimize the state-transfer robustness concerning these perturbations individually. The resulting schemes allow for more stable QST than the original accelerated schemes and only require manipulating the two boundary couplings instead of the whole system, which open up the possibility of fast and robust information transfer in spin-based quantum systems.
