“Not For An Age, But For All Time:” Autobiography and a Re-origin of Shakespeare Studies in Canada
Authors: Solá Chagas Lima Eduardo , Thompson Julie 
Published: December 2023

Despite independence as a country, Canada belongs to the Commonwealth and has deep colonial roots and the British educational system was key in creating Canadian curricula. Given the centrality of Shakespeare’s work in the British literary canon, it follows that it would also figure heavily in the academic requirements for Canadian students. At the dawn of the Confederation (1867), the high school curriculum used Shakespeare to emphasize a “humanist” approach to English literature using the traditional teaching methods of reading, rhetoric, and recitation. Presently, Shakespeare continues to be the only author in the high school curriculum to whom an independent area of study is dedicated. The origin of Shakespeare in Canada through curriculum and instruction is, thus, a result from the canonic tradition imported from Britain.
This traditional model no longer fits the imperative of multiculturalism, as reflected in the Canadian Constitution Act (1982). Yet, with the appropriate methodology Shakespeare’s texts can be a vehicle for multiculturalism, social justice, and inclusivity. In light of recent disillusionments concerning the relevance of Shakespearean texts in high school curricula, this paper proposes an alternative pedagogical approach that envisages changing this paradigm and fostering a re-origin of Shakespeare studies in Canada through an intentional pedagogical process grounded in individual experience.
Scholarship has highlighted the importance of autobiographies in the learning process and curriculum theorists William Pinar and Madeleine Grumet designed a framework that prioritizes individual experience. Our approach to teaching Shakespeare’s works aligns with the four steps of their currere method, presented as: (1) contemplative, (2) translational, (3) experiential, and (4) reconceptual, fostering an opportunity for self-transformation through trans-historical social themes present in the text.
The central argument is that Shakespeare’s text can undergo a re-origin when lived, given its initial conception as embodied, enacted narrative in the early modern period. In this method, students immerse themselves in Shakespeare’s text through films and stage productions and then manifest their interpretations by embodying the literature based on their autobiographical narratives. To undergo a re-origin in the Canadian secondary curriculum, current pedagogical approaches to teaching Shakespeare require a paradigm shift.

Published: December 2023

The structure of an intelligent control system for the hydro-processing of surface defects in rolled products is presented, which corresponds to the concept of the European program "Industry 4.0" in the direction of energy saving and total automation of processes.
The considered local RBNN hydro-processing models are tuned using the Kaczmarz-Widrow-Hoff algorithm. The model for identifying the current task of the pressure of the processing fluid takes into account the relationship between the thickness of the processed defect, changes in the composition of the working fluid and, as a result, its abrasive properties. To form a given pressure in the corresponding jet, the following neural model estimates the duration and polarity of the voltage that controls the electric drive of the jet control valve in real time.
The small-dimensional models’ conveyor is a promising solution for controlling waterjet processing of metals in such areas as rounding sharp edges; grinding and polishing complex surfaces; deburring and cleaning of welds; surface preparation for coating; removal of defects from the surface; high-precision waterjet cutting of metals. The solution will increase the speed of TP from 1.2 to 1.96 [m/s]. Taking into account the small dimensions of the models and the relatively low speed of the TP, a software application based on the proposed models can be implemented in the control system for the hydro-processing of rolled metal products in the form of an inexpensive IIOT microcontroller module.

Published: December 2023

It is shown that sulfur dioxide is one of the most common components of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. It is stated that a large amount of SO2 is emitted into the atmosphere in the production of sulfuric acid, during fuel combustion in thermal power plants, and in modern production of surface-active substances.
It has been shown that sulfur dioxide is responsible for the formation of acid rain, which is one of the most common forms of pollution around the world.
It is stated that all known methods of waste gas purification are divided into three main groups: ammonia methods, SO2 neutralization methods, catalytic methods.
In general, absorption methods are divided into open and circulation cleaning schemes.
It is shown that ammonia-acid methods are economical, but require consumption of a scarce product - ammonia.
The ammonia-sulfuric-acid method consists in treating ammonium bisulfite with sulfuric acid.
When using the ammonia-phosphoric-acid cleaning method, phosphoric fertilizers and SO2 are formed, which can be further processed into sulfuric acid.
The sodium method is based on the absorption of sulfur dioxide by a CaO suspension.
It is indicated that when using a solution of sodium hydroxide as an absorbent, both open and circulating cleaning schemes are used.
It is shown that catalytic methods of waste gas purification do not require the use of an absorbent. However, it is necessary to use an expensive catalyst. Most often, this method is used at the first stage of cleaning, and at the second - the cleaning methods listed above.
The table with comparative technical and economic indicators is presented, the choice of one or another cleaning method depends on specific production conditions.
It is shown that for the production of surface-active substances it is better to use open cleaning schemes, which are distinguished by the simplicity of the equipment design, as well as the low consumption of energy for cleaning.
It is stated that sodium hydroxide solution can be chosen as an absorbent. If the sodium hydroxide solution contains small amounts of sodium sulfite, it can be used as a neutralizing agent in the neutralization of sulfation products.
APPLICATION OF CARBON-CARBON COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE HEATERS OF HEAT EXCHANGERS WITH AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Authors: Hurin I. , Nevlyudov I. , V. V. , Tokarieva O. 
Published: December 2023

The article justifies the use of high-temperature heaters made of carbon-carbon composite material (CCCM) for the thermal unit of a silicon single crystal growth chamber. The conducted analysis confirms that the electrical properties of composite materials, specifically their specific resistance, allow for the creation of heating elements for high-temperature vacuum furnaces or furnaces operating in inert atmospheres at temperatures up to 2200°C.
The use of heaters made from carbon-carbon composite material eliminates the main drawback of graphite heaters - uncontrolled energy dissipation during resistive heating due to the presence of transient electrical resistance at the junctions of graphite plates, and ensures a more uniform temperature field throughout the chamber volume. The capabilities in terms of the maximum permissible temperature of such a CCCM heater exceed the working temperature by more than two times, which also positively affects the service life.
The modes of thermal processes occurring during crystal growth are determined by the technological process depending on the composition of the raw material and require high uniformity of heating in the working zone, high precision, and stability of the heater's temperature control. For precise temperature regulation, it is proposed to additionally measure the integral temperature in the chamber indirectly, which is based on measuring the electrical current passing through the heater, which is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the object. Thus, the heater is considered as a system susceptible to various thermal influences that determine the heat transfer process and the temperature change within the chamber and in the zone of the thermal unit's bricks.
An improved structural diagram of a step-type extremal control system is proposed for automatic temperature control of a high-temperature heater using modern power electronics, sensors, microprocessors. To ensure speed and accuracy in temperature control, the pulse-phase control method implemented with modern specialized thermoregulator with PID-regulation was applied.
Experimental tests conducted on the «Redmet-30» installation under factory conditions confirm the energy efficiency of using high-temperature heaters made of CCCM.
Enhancing Enzyme Stability and Functionality: Covalent Immobilization of Trypsin on Magnetic Gum Arabic Modified Fe3O4 Nanoparticles

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to fabricate gum Arabic (GA)–coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles bearing numerous active aldehyde groups on their surface, followed by an assessment of their capability as a magnetic support for the covalent immobilization of the trypsin enzyme for the first time. FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and SEM results demonstrated the successful synthesis of GA-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, along with the covalent immobilization of the enzyme onto the support. Immobilization enhanced the relative enzymatic activity across a range of aqueous solution pH levels (ranging from 4 to 11) and temperatures (ranging from 20 to 80°C) without altering the optimum pH and temperature for trypsin activity. Kinetic studies using Michaelis-Menten plots revealed changes in kinetic parameters, including a lower Vmax and higher Km for immobilized trypsin compared to the free enzyme. The immobilization onto magnetic gum Arabic nanoparticles resulted in an improved stability of trypsin in the presence of various solvents, maintaining a stability order comparable to that of the free enzyme due to the stabilizing effect of the support. The reusability results showed that the immobilized enzyme can retain over 93% of its activity for up to 15 cycles.
Tracking lithospheric delamination and surface processes across the Messinian salinity crisis

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Lithospheric delamination involves short-lived crustal and surface responses, alkaline magmatism, high heat flow and extension. In the Western Mediterranean, delamination is thought to have triggered uplift at the origin of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). This scenario is questioned by the insufficient temporal resolution relative to other proposed mechanisms that include crustal shortening and slab detachment. Here, we report new U-Pb ages and clumped isotope analyses from calcite veins formed in an intramontane basin of the eastern Betics. They reveal a short-lived fluid event from 8.5 to 5 Ma linked to extension and retreating delamination. The end of extension coincides with the onset of shortening and uplift at 4.5-3 Ma across the boundary between the Cabo de Gata arc basement and the Iberia margin. Our results reveal that the MSC was established before the onset of shortening while delamination was underway. The MSC is therefore the product of long-lived lithospheric thinning and evolution from calc-alkaline to high-alkaline magmatism during delamination. After the MSC, around 5 Ma, slab detachment triggered the formation of a new plate boundary fault and tectonic escape between Africa and Iberia.
Investigating Memory for Faces Based on Order of Emotional Contextual Information
Authors: Edwards Brandon H. , Walden Delaney , Bloom Paul A. , Steinmetz Katherine R. Mickley 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Contextual affective information can influence recognition memory. However, the influence of the order of this information on memory has rarely been studied. To investigate this, a series of faces were shown along with contextual person-based information. Each face was shown twice, manipulating the order of the affective contextual information: (1) emotional then neutral, (2) neutral then emotional, or (3) neutral and then neutral. The first study included negative contextual information and the second included positive. One week later a recognition test was given for the faces. In both the negative study and positive study, recognition memory was uninfluenced by condition, suggesting that the order in which affective information is presented is largely irrelevant. Further, exploratory Bayesian analyses revealed that faces paired with the highest arousal sentences at encoding were the least likely to be recognized at retrieval, which may represent a biasing of attention towards the high arousal sentence and away from the low arousal face.

Abstract
The heliosphere is permeated with highly structured solar wind originating from the sun [7]. One of the primary science objectives of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is to determine the structures and dynamics of the plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind [18]. However, establishing the connection between in situ measurements and structures and dynamics in the solar atmosphere is challenging: most of the magnetic footpoint mapping techniques have significant uncertainties in the source localization of a plasma parcel observed in situ [39; 4; 5], and the PSP plasma measurements suffer from a limited field of view [26; 36]. Therefore it lacks a universal tool to self-contextualize the in situ measurements. Here we develop a novel time series visualization method named Jensen-Shannon Scalogram. Utilizing this method, by analyzing the magnetic magnitude data from both PSP and Ulysses [10], we successfully identify in situ remnants of solar atmospheric and magnetic structures spanning more than seven orders of magnitude, from years to seconds, including polar and mid-latitude coronal holes, [35; 5; 14] as well as structures compatible with super-granulation [9], “jetlets” [40; 48] and very small scale flaring activity [13]. Furthermore, computer simulations of Alfv´enic turbulence support key features of the observed magnetic magnitude distribution. Building upon these discoveries, the Jensen-Shannon Scalogram therefore not only enables us to reveal the fractal fine structures in the solar wind time series from both PSP and decades-old data archive, but will also serve as a general-purpose data visualization method applicable to all time series.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

The intensive pursuit for quantum advantage in terms of computational complexity has further led to a modernized crucial question: When and how will quantum computers outperform classical
computers? The next milestone is undoubtedly the realization of quantum acceleration in practical problems. Here we provide a clear evidence and arguments that the primary target is likely to be condensed matter physics. Our primary contributions are summarized as follows: 1) Proposal of systematic error/runtime analysis on state-of-the-art classical algorithm based on tensor networks; 2) Dedicated and high-resolution analysis on quantum resource performed at the level of executable logical instructions; 3) Clarification of quantum-classical crosspoint for ground-state simulation to be within runtime of hours using only a few hundreds of thousand physical qubits for 2d Heisenberg and 2d Fermi-Hubbard models, assuming that logical qubits are encoded via the surface code with the physical error rate of p = 10^{-3}. To our knowledge, we argue that condensed matter problems offer the earliest platform for demonstration of practical quantum advantage that is order-of-magnitude more feasible than ever known candidates, in terms of both qubit counts and total runtime.
Analysis of Summer Microclimate and Human Comfort Effects in Beijing Xishan National Forest Park

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study focuses on Beijing Xishan National Forest Park and analyzes the temperature and air humidity of Forest Park, forests, and water bodies during the summer season. Negative air ions are also monitored, and formulas are utilized to analyze human comfort. The study examines the influence of different microclimate comfort levels on visitor numbers and activities. The results indicate that, based on the findings of this study, the grasslands in Beijing Xishan National Forest Park can reduce the average temperature by 0.52℃. Human intervention has advantages in altering the microclimate function of urban grasslands. The temperature reduction rate in the summer forests is 3.09%, and the air humidity increase rate is 7.4%, both of which are higher than those of the grasslands. The temperature reduction rate in sparsely planted forests is significantly lower than that in densely planted forests, and the air humidity increase rate in sparsely planted forests is significantly lower than that in densely planted forests. The reasonable configuration of mixed structures of trees, shrubs, and grass in urban and suburban park designs directly affects the intensity of the surrounding forest microclimate and human activities. The temperature reduction rate and air humidity increase rate near the curved and strip-shaped water systems in Xishan National Forest Park are higher than those of the control site, indicating the need to pay attention to water system design in urban and suburban park designs while considering the size and allocation of water bodies. The forest NAI (Negative Air Ion) concentration in Xishan National Forest Park exhibits an unimodal pattern of daily variation, with a daily average of 2142 ions/cm3. The period between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM has the highest concentration of negative air ions during the day. In terms of visitor comfort analysis in the park, walking is the most sensitive activity to microclimate comfort, followed by resting, playing chess, and sports, while activities such as lake viewing, dog walking, and photography are less sensitive.
