AbstractManagement of vehicle traffic is a challenging task as it is non-deterministic by nature. Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (VCPS) is the emerging field of dynamics of vehicle management. Vehicle localization is considered an important task in VCPS. Many researchers proposed methodologies for this based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) which poses few location identification errors. Also, there are more vulnerabilities to the existing vehicular positioning system due to Zig-Zag attacks and bad-mouth attacks. In this work, an error-free and secure environment for communication between dynamically moving vehicle models has been proposed. In our proposed model a localization technique based on mathematical geometry which is capable of GPS outages and encompasses the dynamism of vehicle and on-road trajectory has been developed. The proposed model includes Extended Kalman filter-based routing to predict the neighbouring vehicle position. To avoid vulnerabilities created by the malicious nodes, a trust-based computation is performed by each node on its neighbours perceiving the authenticity of received messages. To validate the methodology, NS2 tool has been used to simulate the VCPS and to test the efficiency with different scenarios such as erroneous location, GPS outage, and malicious attack. The result shows that the proposed approach is more optimal and secure than the existing methodologies.

AbstractBovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL), which has been reported worldwide. The expression of viral structural proteins: surface glycoprotein (gp51) and three core proteins - p15 (matrix), p24 (capsid), and p12 (nucleocapsid) induce a strong humoral and cellular immune response at first step of infection. CD4+ T-cell activation is generally induced by bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA) region– positive antigen-presenting cells (APC) after processing of an exogenous viral antigen. Limited data are available on the BLV epitopes from the core proteins recognized by CD4+ T-cells. Thus, immunoinformatic analysis of Gag sequences obtained from 125 BLV isolates from Poland, Canada, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Moldova and United States was performed to identify the presence of BoLA-DRB3 restricted CD4+ T-cell epitopes. The 379 15-mer overlapping peptides spanning the entire Gag sequence were run in BoLA-DRB3 allele-binding regions using a BoLA-DRB- peptide binding affinity prediction algorithm. The analysis identified 22 CD4+ T-cell peptide epitopes of variable length ranging from 17 to 22 amino acids. The predicted epitopes interacted with 73 different BoLA-DRB3 alleles found in BLV-infected cattle. Importantly, two epitopes were found to be linked with high proviral load in PBMC. A majority of dominant and subdominant epitopes showed high conservation across different viral strains, and therefore could be attractive targets for vaccine development.

AbstractA rapid metallohydrogelation strategy has been developed of magnesium(II)-ion using trimethylamine as a low molecular weight gelator in water medium at room temperature. The mechanical property of the synthesized metallohydrogel material is established through the rheological analysis. The nano-rose like morphological patterns of Mg(II)-metallohydrogel are characterized through field emission scanning electron microscopic study. The energy dispersive X-ray elemental mapping analysis confirms the primary gel forming elements of Mg(II)-metallohydrogel. The possible metallohydrogel formation strategy has been analyzed through FT-IR spectroscopic study. In this work, magnesium(II) metallohydrogel (Mg@TMA) based metal–semiconductor-metal structures have been developed and charge transport behaviour is studied. Here, it is confirmed that the magnesium(II) metallohydrogel (Mg@TMA) based resistive random access memory (RRAM) device is showing bipolar resistive switching behaviour at room temperature. We have also explored the mechanism of resistive switching behaviour using the formation (rupture) of conductive filaments between the metal electrodes. This RRAM devices exhibit excellent switching endurance over 10,000 switching cycles with a large ON/OFF ratio (~ 100). The easy fabrication techniques, robust resistive switching behaviour and stability of the present system makes these structures preferred candidate for applications in non-volatile memory design, neuromorphic computing, flexible electronics and optoelectronics etc.

Published: December 2023

AbstractIn adults, seeing individual faces is sufficient to trigger dominance evaluations, even when conflict is absent. From early on, infants represent dyadic dominance relations and they can infer conflict outcomes based on a variety of cues. To date, it is unclear if toddlers also make automatic dominance trait evaluations of individual faces. Here we asked if toddlers are sensitive to dominance traits from faces, and whether their sensitivity depends on their face experience. We employed a visual preference paradigm to study 18- and 24-month-old toddlers’ sensitivity to dominance traits from three types of faces: artificial, male, female. When presented with artificial faces (Experiment 1), 18- and 24-month-olds attended longer to the non-dominant faces, but only when they were in upright orientation. For real male faces (Experiment 2), toddlers showed equivalent looking durations to the dominant and non-dominant upright faces. However, when looking at female faces (Experiment 3), toddlers displayed a visual preference for the upright non-dominant faces at 24 months. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that toddlers already display sensitivity to facial cues of dominance from 18 months of age, at least for artificial face stimuli.

AbstractSeveral studies have been shown that Annexin V (ANXV) autoantibodies concentrations are associated with both early recurrent pregnancy losses (RPLs) or in vitro fertilization failure (IVFf). We investigated the association between ANXV autoantibodies and ANVX levels in RPL, IVFf and normal group women. The study was conducted on 22 female patients with RPLs, 66 patients with IVFf, and 16 normal samples from women who had given birth. ANXV autoantibodies were measured using an ELISA test developed by fixing a homemade recombinant ANXV protein and examined with labeled human antibodies, while ANXV concentrations were measured by a competitive ELISA using a homemade anti ANXV polyclonal antibody. The results showed a clear relationship between the high levels of ANXV autoantibodies and the recurrent abortion. On the other hand, ANXV measurement in those patients showed decreased concentrations compared to normal samples. Negative correlation between ANXV and its autoantibodies levels was reported in almost all patients’ samples. Our data supports the possibility that ANXV autoantibodies are a risk factor for reproductive failures associated with both RPLs and/or IVFf and the significant role for ANXV in the maintenance of pregnancy.
Relational reasoning in wild bumblebees revisited: the role of distance
Authors: Martin-Ordas Gema 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn reasoning tasks, non-human animals attend more to relational than to object similarity. It is precisely this focus on relational similarity that has been argued to explain the reasoning gap between humans and other animals. Work with humans has revealed that objects placed near each other are represented to be more similar than objects placed farther apart. Will distance between objects also affect non-human animals’ abilities to represent and reason about objects? To test this, wild bumblebees were presented with a spatial reasoning task (with competing object matches) in which the objects or features alone (colour, shape) were placed close together or far apart. Bumblebees spontaneously attended to objects over relations, but only when the objects were far apart. Features alone were not strong enough to drive object matching—suggesting that bumblebees bound colour and shape into their object representations. These findings question whether the ability to focus on and compare objects is what makes human abstract reasoning unique.

Context. Complex models recently became available for studying the dynamics of disk galaxies such as the Milky Way (MW). These models include the global dynamics from dwarf satellite galaxies, dark matter halo structure, gas infall, and stellar disks in a cosmological context.
Aims. We use a MW model from a suite of high-resolution hydrodynamical cosmological simulations named GARROTXA to establish the relationship between the vertical disturbances seen in its galactic disk and multiple perturbations from the dark matter halo, satellites, and gas.
Methods. We calculated the bending modes in the galactic disk in the last 6 Gyr of evolution. We computed the vertical acceleration exerted by dark matter and gas in order to quantify the impact of these components on the disk, and compared this with the bending behavior with Fourier analysis.
Results. We find complex bending patterns at different radii and times, such as an inner retrograde mode with high frequency and an outer slower retrograde mode excited at different times. The amplitudes of these bending modes are highest during the early stages of formation of the thin disk (20 km s−1) and reach up to 8.5 km s−1 in the late disk evolution. We find that the infall of satellite galaxies leads to a tilt of the disk, and produces strong anisotropic gas accretion with a misalignment of 8° with subsequent star formation events and supernovae, creating significant vertical accelerations on the disk plane. The misalignment between the disk and the inner stellar and dark matter triaxial structure, which formed during the ancient assembly of the galaxy, also leads to a strong vertical acceleration of the stars. We also find dark matter subhalos that temporally coincide with the appearance of bending waves in certain periods.
Conclusions. We conclude that several agents trigger the bending of the stellar disk and its phase spirals in this simulation, including satellite galaxies, dark subhalos, misaligned gaseous structures, and the inner dark matter profile. These phenomena coexist and influence each other, sometimes making it challenging to establish direct causality.
The effect of winds on atmospheric layers of red supergiants II. Modelling VLTI/GRAVITY and MATISSE observations of AH Sco, KW Sgr, V602 Car, CK Car, and V460 Car

Context. Mass loss plays a crucial role in the lives of massive stars, especially as the star leaves the main sequence and evolves to the red supergiant (RSG) phase. Despite its importance, the physical processes that trigger mass-loss events in RSGs are still not well understood. Recently, we showed that adding a semi-empirical wind to atmosphere models can accurately reproduce observed extensions in the atmospheres of RSGs, where the mass-loss events are taking place, particularly in the CO and water lines.
Aims. By adding a static wind to a MARCS atmospheric model, we computed synthetic observables that match new interferometric data of the RSGs AH Sco, KW Sgr, V602 Car, CK Car, and V460 Car obtained with the VLTI/MATISSE and VLTI/GRAVITY instruments between August 2022 and February 2023. We also used archival VLTI/AMBER data of KW Sgr and VLTI/GRAVITY data of AH Sco. The MATISSE wavelength range includes the SiO molecule at 4.0 μm with a spectral resolution of R ~ 500.
Methods. The model intensities with respect to the line-of-sight angle (μ) as well as the spectra and visibilities were computed using the stellar radiative transfer code TURBOSPECTRUM. We found the best-fit model, mass-loss rate, and best-fit angular Rosseland diameter for the observations. We simultaneously matched our model to the data, covering a wavelength range of 1.8–5.0 μm, which corresponds to the K, L, and M bands.
Results. Our models reproduce the spectro-interferometric data over this wide wavelength range, including extended atmospheric layers of CO, H2O, and SiO. We obtain a range of Rosseland angular diameters between 3.0 < θRoss < 5.5 mas and a range of mass-loss rates of −6.5 < log Ṁ/M⊙ yr−1 < −4 for our five targets. In our best-fit models, the partial pressure of SiO relative to the gas pressure, PSiO/Pg, and the SiO 4.0 μm line intensity increase between 2 and 3 stellar radii. The relative intensity depends on the luminosity used for our models, since the more luminous models have a higher mass-loss rate.
Conclusions. This work further demonstrates that our MARCS+wind model can reproduce the observed physical extension of RSG atmospheres for several spectral diagnostics spanning a broad wavelength range. We reproduce both spectra and visibilities of newly obtained data as well as provide temperature and density stratifications that are consistent with the observations. With the MATISSE data, we newly include the extension of SiO layers as a precursor of silicate dust.
‘Varieties of green transitions’? Comparative welfare state research and the social dimension of green transitions
Authors: Zimmermann Katharina 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn the light of the climate crisis, ‘green transitions’ are inevitable to address the environmental harm caused by fossil capitalism. The article argues that the pathway of such green transitions is closely interrelated with welfare setups, as the answer to the questions ‘who wins, who loses; who supports, who opposes the green transition—and why?’ is strongly dependent on the welfare setup of a given economy. The welfare state not only stabilises the economy, prevents deprivation and balances class interests, it also structures interest constellations, material living conditions, and cultural lifestyles. Hence, which ‘green social risks’ need to be addressed, which social groups will seek to have a voice in a green transition, which transition routes are seen as legitimate, and which societal cleavages emerge around the transition—all these factors are shaped by the welfare setup of a country. Drawing on comparative welfare state theory, the article provides an analytical starting point for considering country-specific factors of green transitions and thus, outlines the potential of this political science research strand for debates on eco-social policy, politics, and polity.

Published: December 2023

Compact and robust frequency-stabilized laser sources are critical for a variety of fields that require stable frequency standards, including field spectroscopy, radio astronomy, microwave generation, and geophysical monitoring. In this work, we applied a simple and compact fiber ring-resonator configuration that can stabilize both a continuous-wave laser and a self-referenced optical frequency comb to a vibration-insensitive optical fiber delay-line. We could achieve a thermal-noise-limited frequency noise level in the 10 Hz–1 kHz offset frequency range for both the continuous-wave laser and the optical frequency comb with the minimal frequency instability of 2.7 × 10−14 at 0.03-s and 2.6 × 10−14 at 0.01-s averaging time, respectively, under non-vacuum conditions. The optical fiber spool, working as a delay reference, is designed to be insensitive to external vibrations, with a vibration sensitivity of sub-10−10 (1/g) and a volume of 32 ml. Finally, the ring-resonator setup is packaged in a palm-sized aluminum case with 171-ml volume with a vibration-insensitive spool, as well as an even smaller 97-ml-volume case with an ultracompact 9-ml miniaturized fiber spool.
ASTM and ISO standards in U.S. legal language services
Authors: Mellinger Christopher D. , Salazar Teresa C. , Benavides Aimee K. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In the United States, legal language services are shaped by both de jure and de
facto standards, which encompass not only the professional profile of court interpreters but also the provision of
legal translation and interpreting services. This article investigates the potential influence of ASTM and ISO standards on
current language services implementations in U.S. court settings in light of the current configuration of de jure
and de facto standards. Specific emphasis is placed on the utility of consensus-based standards such as ASTM and
ISO due to the unique configuration of language services, particularly given procurement and bidding practices, which complicate
the current legal T&I landscape. Possible avenues for integration of ASTM and ISO standards are explored in light of
infrastructure-specific as well as translator- and interpreter-specific requirements. The article concludes with a discussion of
the compatibility of standards with current practices in the U.S. legal T&I sector.
Terminology standards and their relevance for legal interpreters and translators
Authors: Chiocchetti Elena , Lušicky Vesna , Wissik Tanja 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Legal interpreters and translators (LITs) play a crucial role in ensuring equitable treatment within the EU and
facilitating international mobility. These professionals actively engage in terminology work, similar to other translators and
interpreters. This exploratory study examines the degree of familiarity LITs have with terminology principles and standards, based
on an online survey conducted among LIT associations in Austria and Italy. A significant portion of respondents reported engaging
in terminology work, underlining its professional relevance. The prevalent usage of traditional tools like word processors and
paper is evident, whereas the adoption of advanced systems remains limited. Despite more than half of the participants
demonstrating awareness of terminology standards, access to specific standards was infrequent. A considerable number of
respondents did not perceive terminology standards as essential for their practical undertakings. Only a minority were familiar
with either national or ISO terminology standards. The study uncovered a lack of comprehensive understanding and implementation of
terminology management principles. While terminology remains indispensable for LITs, its effective management is often overlooked.
It is crucial to improve the dissemination of information and encourage collaborative efforts with relevant organizations to
enhance awareness and foster proficient utilization of terminology.

Covid-19 and public debate over gain-of-function research on
potentially pandemic pathogens
Authors: Mitchell Gordon R. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Controversial “gain-of-function” research (GoFR) aims to improve
understanding of human health by studying behavior of genetically altered
viruses in laboratory experiments. GoFR proponents tout its potential to support
public health disease surveillance, drug development and vaccine innovation,
while skeptics warn that unplanned laboratory release of genetically altered
pathogens could harm millions in pandemics caused by science. Public interest in
GoFR grew during the Covid-19 pandemic, as theories circulated that SARS-CoV-2
was the result of GoFR conducted at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Analysis of a 2015 public debate on GoFR research, reconstructed according to
pragma-dialectical argumentation theory, sheds light on the increasingly salient
scientific controversy and contributes to the growing literature on
argumentation and health.
Generalized adaptive singular spectrum decomposition and its application in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery under varying speed
Authors: Pang Bin , Li Pu , Zhao Yanjie , Sun Zhenduo , Hao Ziyang , Xu Zhenli 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Rotating machinery fault signals often consist of multiple components with time varying frequencies under variable speed conditions. Spectral overlap exists among these components, making it difficult to independently separate the features of the components. Singular spectrum decomposition (SSD), a singular spectrum analysis-based signal decomposition method, has shown its great potential in suppressing background noise and extracting fault-related components in complex background noise environments. However, SSD is a frequency domain decomposition method with equivalent filtering characteristics, and it is susceptible to the mode mixing when processing signals with spectral overlap. Moreover, the choice of a key parameter in the iteration decomposition process of SSD, the embedding dimension, is determined using an empirical formula, which might cause suboptimal decomposition outcomes. To address these issues, this paper proposes a generalized adaptive singular spectrum decomposition (GASSD) method, which combines generalized demodulation with improved embedding dimension selection for SSD. GASSD incorporates SSD into the framework of adaptive generalized demodulation to separate specific frequency domain features. Firstly, for an effective generalized demodulation analysis, a region block synchronous ridge extraction method is proposed to accurately estimate the instantaneous frequency ridges from the time-frequency plane, which helps construct proper demodulation phase functions. Secondly, to achieve optimal analysis of SSD, a Gini moderation decomposition index is designed to improve the construction of the trajectory matrix by determining an appropriate embedding dimension. Finally, the reliability of the proposed method is demonstrated by analyzing wind turbine generator bearing fault signals and rotor rubbing fault signals.
