Are religion metaphors anti‑revolutionary?
Authors: Augé Anaïs 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper investigates the socio-political implications of sceptical metaphors in French discourse about the
climate crisis. Existing literature has demonstrated the prevalence of religion metaphors in English sceptical discourse.
Yet, in France, religious references in language use are limited as such references have been considered “anti-revolutionary”
since the storming of the Bastille, in 1789. I thus ask to what extent sceptical metaphors in French climate crisis discourse
differ from English sceptical metaphors. To this aim, I conduct a corpus-based study relying on texts published in the
extreme-right wing French newspaper “Valeurs Actuelles”. The metaphors identified in this corpus are analysed so as to uncover the
mini-narratives related to sceptical metaphor scenarios. Consistent with existing literature, the analysis establishes the
prevalence of the religion scenario. However, the research highlights significant argumentative exploitations: metaphor
users define the source concept according to cultural viewpoints on religion and ideological understanding of the
religious lexicon. I demonstrate that religion metaphors prevail because associated source concepts (environmentalism
as islam) are not conceived as being part of the domain of religion, according to these (extreme-right-wing)
discourse producers.
A liquid–metal-based microscale calorimetric in-chip flow sensor for flow rate measuring

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This work proposes a liquid–metal-based calorimetric micro-flow sensor within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip. It can measure the flow rate of fluid in microscale channels, with a range as low as several microliters per minute. This in-chip sensor is proposed to solve the issue of detecting the flow rate in microfluidic systems. To make the sensor compatible with PDMS microfluidic chips, low-melting-point gallium-based alloy and bismuth-based (bi-based) alloy are used to make the micro heater and bi-metal thermocouples, for these alloys can be easily injected into a PDMS chip to form electrodes. To minimize heat resistance (or temperature difference) between fluid and the detecting ends of thermocouples, these ends are directly exposed to liquid in the flow channel with the help of a special reversible bonding technology. Thermocouples are connected in series to improve the sensor’s response. A novel method to bond and electrically connect the sensor to a print circuit board is also elaborated. Since the calorimetric flow sensor is sensitive to heating power, fluid temperature and environment cooling, a dimensionless parameter less independent of these factors is deduced from heat transfer theory, and this idea is used in result processing to offset the bad effect. Experiments with pure water show that this sensor can be used to detect flow rates, with a resolution up to 4 µl min−1 mV−1 and a range of 12 µl min−1 in this case, and that at different heating powers, the thermal potential results vary significantly whereas the dimensionless results nearly keep the same. Present work indicates that this sensor has the potential to be integrated into a PDMS microfluidic system and to provide accurate and stable results if a dimensionless method is used in data processing.

Abstract
Hill fires, a sort of ultra-natural disaster that poses a severe threat to the safe and stable operation of transmission lines, have become more frequent in recent years. Currently, the modeling research on the transmission line gap electric field distortion under hill fire conditions does not consider the synergistic effect of charged particles and ash particles, which would lead to the imperfect gap electric field distortion mechanism. Herein, a coupled multi-physics field simulation model of electric, thermal, fluid, chemical field and particle motion was constructed to analyze the electric field distribution and particle motion. Compared to the related simulation models, this study improves the simulation accuracy by around 407% by optimizing the structure and parameters of the simulation model. The FEM software COMSOL Multiphysics simulation results show that the percentage of ash entering the examined region of the AC conductor was 34.1% higher, and the percentage of connected ash was 45% higher, increasing the likelihood of gap breakdown compared to the DC conductor; the charge of ash (10−14 to 10−11) is significantly less than the saturation charge of ash (⩾10−3). Therefore, the charged particles change the motion characteristics of the ash primarily through the electric field force and dielectrophoresis force, while the ash-induced distortion of the electric field affects the spatial distribution of the charged particles, eventually, the background electric field undergoes significant distortion by the synergistic effect of the two. The results examine the inherent mechanism of gap electric field distortion at the microscopic level, which can provide theoretical support for understanding the transition phase of transmission line gaps from insulation to break down under hill fire conditions.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study proposes a novel approach to enhanced the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of Fe adsorbed on a MoSi2N4 substrate through hole doping. First principles calculations are employed to investigate the PMA of freestanding Fe and Fe/MoSi2N4 complex system. It is found that the PMA of Fe atom slightly increases from freestanding Fe monolayer to the Fe/MoSi2N4 system, which is attributed to the overlap between Fe-3d and N-2p orbitals. More interestingly, it is found that the PMA of Fe atoms in Fe/MoSi2N4 can be further enhanced by hole doping, which enables the PMA to increase significantly, up to four times the original value. This finding provides a promising way to enhance the PMA in two-dimensional (2D) spintronic devices. These results offering potential applications in developing advanced 2D spintronic devices.
Enhancing magnetically driven microswimmer velocity via low Reynolds number hydrodynamic interactions
Authors: Sharanya S , Gupta Anurag , Singh T Sonamani 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The motion of comoving magnetic microswimmers is modeled by considering the inter-hydrodynamic interactions (HI) under low Reynolds number conditions. The microswimmer is a two-link design consisting of a magnetic head attached to a slender tail via a torsional spring, and it is driven by an external planar oscillatory magnetic field. The inter-HI considered are the head-head and tail-tail interactions. The propulsion velocity for the comoving mode is calculated and compared with that of an isolated mode. The comparative results show that the comoving mode velocity can be either similar or greater than the isolated mode, depending on the actuation frequency. The parametric dependency results show that the velocity generated in comoving mode depends on the average separation distance and length-to-width ratio of the tail. For proof of concept, a low-cost fabrication protocol is implemented to design a millimeter-sized magnetic flagellated swimmer. The experimental result shows that the comoving swimming mode generates larger velocity in comparison to isolated swimming.

dimers is studied in detail as a function of two considered exchange interactions ascribed to similar and dissimilar spin pairs. At zero magnetic field, the ferrimagnetic mixed spin-(1, 1, 3/2, 3/2) Heisenberg tetramer chain displays, depending on a mutual interplay between two considered exchange interactions, three distinct gapped valence-bond-solid phases separated by gap-closing quantum critical points. Using density-matrix renormalization group calculations we construct the full ground-state phase diagram as a function of the interaction ratio and magnetic field, which exhibits besides three gapped valence-bond-solid phases special Kosterlitz–Thouless and topological quantum critical points. A tangential finite-size scaling analysis is employed to obtain precise estimates of the zero-field valence-bond-solid transitions and unveil their common logarithmic correction to a power-law scaling of the correlation length.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The research on hydrogen-rich ternary compounds attract tremendous attention for it paves new route to room-temperature superconductivity at lower pressures. Here, we study the crystal structures, electronic structures, and superconducting properties of the ternary Ca-U-H system, combining crystal structure predictions with ab-initio calculations under high pressure. We found four dynamically stable structures with hydrogen clathrate cages: CaUH12-Cmmm, CaUH12-Fd-3m, Ca2UH18-P-3m1, and CaU3H32-Pm-3m. Among them, the Ca2UH18-P-3m1 and CaU3H32-Pm-3m are likely to be synthesized below 1 megabar. The f electrons in U atoms make dominant contribution to the electronic density of states around the Fermi energy. The electron-phonon interaction calculations reveal that phonon softening in the mid-frequency region can enhance the electron–phonon coupling significantly. The T
c value of Ca2UH18-P-3m1 is estimated to be 57.5–65.8 K at 100 GPa. Our studies demonstrate that introducing actinides into alkaline-earth metal hydrides provides possibility in designing novel superconducting ternary hydrides.

Abstract
A detailed interpretation of scanning tunneling spectra obtained on unconventional superconductors enables one to gain information on the pairing boson. Decisive for this approach are inelastic tunneling events. Due to the lack of momentum conservation in tunneling from or to the sharp tip, those are enhanced in the geometry of a scanning tunneling microscope compared to planar tunnel junctions. This work extends the method of obtaining the bosonic excitation spectrum by deconvolution from tunneling spectra to nodal d-wave superconductors. In particular, scanning tunneling spectra of slightly underdoped

Abstract
Veterans of the British nuclear testing programme represent a population of ex-military personnel who had the potential to be exposed to ionising radiation through their participation at nuclear testing sites in the 1950s and 1960s. In the intervening years, members of this population have raised concerns about the status of their health and that of their descendants, as a consequence. Radiation dose estimates based on film badge measurements of external dose recorded at the time of the tests suggest any exposure to be limited for the majority of personnel, however, only ∼20% of personnel were monitored and no measurement for internalised exposure are on record. Here, to in-part address families concerns, we assay for chromosomal evidence of historical radiation exposure in a group of aged nuclear test (NT) veterans, using multiplex in situ hybridisation (M-FISH), for comparison with a matched group of veterans who were not present at NT sites. In total, we analysed 9379 and 7698 metaphase cells using M-FISH (24-colour karyotyping) from 48 NT and 38 control veteran samples, representing veteran servicemen from the army, Royal Airforce and Royal Navy. We observed stable and unstable simple- and complex-type chromosome aberrations in both NT and control veterans’ samples, however find no significant difference in yield of any chromosome aberration type between the two cohorts. We do observe higher average frequencies of complex chromosome aberrations in a very small subset of veterans previously identified as having a higher potential for radiation exposure, which may be indicative of internalised contamination to long-lived radionuclides from radiation fallout. By utilising recently published whole genome sequence analysis data of a sub-set of the same family groups, we examined for but found no relationship between paternal chromosome aberration burden, germline mutation frequency and self-reported concerns of adverse health in family members, suggesting that the previously reported health issues by participants in this study are unlikely to be associated with historical radiation exposure. We did observe a small number of families, representing both control and NT cohorts, showing a relationship between paternal chromosome aberrations and germline mutation sub-types which should be explored in future studies. In conclusion, we find no cytogenetic evidence of historical radiation exposure in the cohort of nuclear veterans sampled here, offering reassurance that attendance at NTs sites by the veterans sampled here, was not associated with significant levels of exposure to radiation.
Clinical image quality assessment and mean glandular dose for full field digital mammography

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study aims to assess the image quality (IQ) of 12 mammographic units and to identify units with potential optimisation needs. Data for 350 mammography examinations meeting inclusion criteria were collected retrospectively from April 2021 to April 2022. They were categorised based on the medical reports into 10 normal cases, 10 cases displaying calcifications and 10 cases presenting lesions. Two radiologists assessed the IQ of 1400 mammograms, evaluating system performance per Boita et al’s study and positioning performance following European guidelines. To measure agreement between the two radiologists, the Cohen’s Kappa coefficient (κ) was computed, quantifying the excess of agreement beyond chance. The visual grading analysis score (VGAS) was computed to compare system and positioning performance assessments across different categories and facilities. Median average glandular dose (AGD) values for cranio caudal and medio lateral oblique views were calculated for each category and facility and compared to the national diagnostic reference levels. The health facilities were categorised by considering both IQ VGAS and AGD levels. Inter-rater agreement between radiologists ranged from poor (κ < 0.20) to moderate (0.41 < κ < 0.60), likely influenced by inherent biases and distinct IQ expectations. 50% of the facilities were classified as needing corrective actions for their system performance as they had IQ or high AGD that could increase recall rate and radiation risk and 50% of the health facilities exhibited insufficient positioning performance that could mask tumour masses and microcalcifications. The study’s findings emphasise the importance of implementing quality assurance programs to ensure optimal IQ for accurate diagnoses while adhering to radiation exposure guidelines. Additionally, comprehensive training for technologists is essential to address positioning challenges. These initiatives collectively aim to enhance the overall quality of breast imaging services, contributing to improved patient care.
Increasing the public awareness of justification
Authors: Kotre C J 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
One of the requirements of the UK Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 is that all medical exposures must be justified before the exposure can proceed. One of the main elements of justification is a determination that the medical benefits from the exposure will exceed the associated radiation detriment. The field of medical exposure to ionising radiation is in the rare position of having this explicit legal requirement for net benefit. In this article it is argued that, although separate information on benefit and detriment is also required for implied or explicit informed consent prior to exposure, justification comes first, is simple to explain, and is easily related to the commonly understood basis of medical ethics. It seems reasonable, therefore, to make patients and the public more aware of the protection that UK law already provides for them. A proposal for a single-sentence general statement on justification is made.
An enhanced perception health state assessment method for subway sliding plug door transmission system

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The monitoring data (current and rotational speed) of the subway sliding plug door transmission system changed positively and negatively with the acceleration and weight of the door. How to perceive the changes is a challenging problem in the health state assessment of transmission system. To address this problem, an enhanced perception health state assessment method was proposed for the transmission systems. In the method, firstly, the equivalent resistance force is calculated by monitoring the current and rotational speed data according to mechanical dynamic knowledge. Secondly, the sensitive features of normal and abnormal states are screened out from the enhanced dataset constructed by current, rotational speed data, and equivalent resistance force data. Finally, the health state of the transmission system is assessed using an integrated learning algorithm. The effectiveness of the method is verified by benchmark experimental data, and the results indicate that the method has a higher accuracy with four classifiers and a broader suitable range with varying door acceleration and weight.
Quantitative, multi-species gas sensing using broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The broadband terahertz wave, with its correspondence to the fingerprint spectra of gas molecules and relatively high transmittance through smoke, aerosol, and combustion environments, bears great potential for gas detection and combustion diagnostics. While access to rotational spectral fingerprints in the terahertz region provides opportunities for species-selective diagnostics with minimized background and cross interference, few studies have been devoted to direct, quantitative, and simultaneous analysis of multiple components exploiting the terahertz region. In this work, we achieve quantitative measurements of CO, NH3 and H2O gas concentrations at standard temperatures and pressures over a bandwidth of 1 THz, using direct absorption spectrum from femtosecond-laser-based terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Spectral fitting of the fully resolved rotational lines yields good precision and accuracy with validation against calibrated mixtures. The estimated detection limits of the multi-species sensing system are 250 ppm m, 7 ppm m and 4 ppm m for CO, NH3 and H2O, respectively. The demonstration of quantitative, multi-species gas sensing indicates the feasibility and practical value of using broadband terahertz absorption spectroscopy for real-time, quantitative analysis and speciation of multicomponent gases in complicated practical environments such as combustion and multi-phase flows.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Considering all possible crystal structures is essential in computer simulations of alloy properties, but using density functional theory (DFT) is computationally impractical. To address this, four structural descriptors were evaluated using machine learning (ML) models to predict formation energy, elasticity and hardness of MoTa alloys. A total of 612 configurations were generated by the Clusters Approach to Statistical Mechanics software and their corresponding material properties were calculated by DFT. As input features of ML models, the CORR and SOAP performed best (R
2 > 0.90, some up to 0.99), followed by Atomic-centred Symmetry Functions, while Coulomb matrix performed worst. Furthermore, SOAP shows excellent performance in extrapolation for larger supercell structures of the MoTa alloy system and transfer learning for the MoNb alloy system.

Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent chronic neurological disorders characterized by frequent unprovoked epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures can develop from a broad range of underlying abnormalities such as tumours, strokes, infections, traumatic brain injury, developmental abnormalities, autoimmune diseases, and genetic predispositions. Sometimes epilepsy is not easily diagnosed and treated due to the large diversity of symptoms. Undiagnosed and untreated seizures deteriorate over time, impair cognition, lead to injuries, and can sometimes result in death. This review gives details about epilepsy, its classification on the basis of International League Against Epilepsy, current therapeutics which are presently offered for the treatment of epilepsy. Despite of the fact that more than 30 different anti-epileptic medication and antiseizure drugs are available, large number of epileptic patients fail to attain prolonged seizure independence. Poor onsite bioavailability of drugs due to blood brain barrier poses a major challenge in drug delivery to brain. The present review covers the limitations with the state-of-the-art strategies for managing seizures and emphasizes the role of nanotechnology in overcoming these issues. Various nano-carriers like polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, lipidic nanoparticles such as solid lipid nanoparticles, nano-lipid carriers, have been explored for the delivery of anti-epileptic drugs to brain using oral and intranasal routes. Nano-carries protect the encapsulated drugs from degradation and provide a platform to deliver controlled release over prolonged periods, improved permeability and bioavailability at the site of action. The review also emphasises in details about the role of neuropeptides for the treatment of epilepsy.
